[12:01] <zeer88> juano, thanks a lot :)
[12:01] <boss> ...
[12:01] <fractalgfx> Is it more/less/equally painfull to configure dual monitors with nvidia or ati cards?
[12:01] <juano> zeer88: this inly happens with rhythmbox?
[12:02] <juano> zeer88: only*
[12:02] <leobloo1> how can I manually change the repositories?=o/
[12:02] <eternaljoy> adaptr: what link?
[12:02] <adaptr> sigh....
[12:03] <aleksanteri> leobloo1: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:03] <zeer88> juano, on VLC and Beep it doesn't happen...
[12:03] <juano> zeer88: ok
[12:03] <leobloo1> thanks, I'll try to find some solution
[12:03] <adaptr> eternaljoy: I will repeat it; pay close attention to any flashing bits on your screen
[12:03] <adaptr> !wine | eternaljoy
[12:03] <ubotwo> eternaljoy: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[12:03] <juano> zeer88: this is another package: gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3
[12:04] <zeer88> juano, the thing is, my music is on another hard drive (fat32)...and so far only rythmbox could build a library with that music...
[12:04] <juano> zeer88: search for that one
[12:04] <zeer88> juano, i had that installed and removed it searching for a solution...i don't think it will make a difference
[12:04] <zeer88> juano, i will try it anyway ;)
[12:04] <juano> zeer88: ahh... you mean your trying to build a library with mp3 from another hard drive?
[12:04] <Myrth> hi, i have installed nvidia-glx-legacy and 2d accelerator works perfectly but apps can't find GLX extention... in xorg.conf i have Load "glx"
[12:05] <juano> zeer88: and they dont play?
[12:05] <Myrth> tried `envy` but it didn't work
[12:05] <Baloogan> how do I make my computer not lock the screen when I close the lid of the laptop?
[12:05] <juano> zeer88: what happens when you open a local mp3 from your ubuntu partition? does it work?
[12:05] <Baloogan> ubuntu locks the screen when I close my laptop.
[12:05] <Baloogan> I don't want it to.
[12:05] <zeer88> juano, they play, but only with rythmbox...exaile or Listen, for example, don't build libraries on the other partition
[12:05] <Baloogan> I'd even like to just disable locking the screen entirely
[12:06] <zeer88> juano: the same happens, the sound is still bad...i tried it thinking the same thing =\
[12:06] <Bobbix> Hi help me please
[12:06] <Baloogan> what gets run to lockthe screen?
[12:06] <juano> zeer88: ok
[12:06] <Baloogan> Please someone tell me:(
[12:06] <eternaljoy> adaptr: what flashing bits?
[12:06] <Sick-Boy> anyone have a dvb-t with a Conexant CX23880 chip??? please...
[12:06] <eternaljoy> adaptr: I didnt see any flashing bits
[12:07] <Bobbix> my question: "if i installa a Wifi Pen with ndiswrapper" can i exclude hardware / drivers problems ?
[12:07] <adaptr> eternaljoy: you didn't see your name either ?
[12:07] <Bobbix> if the response is driver present / hardware present
[12:07] <Bobbix> ???

[12:07] <ubotwo> qemu is an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo
[12:07] <eternaljoy> adaptr: nope!  in private was it?  cause I see nothing here
[12:07] <Morn\> Peeps, can I use the logo to advertise for Ubuntu?
[12:07] <Baloogan> Someone please tell me how to totally disable the screen getting locked in ubuntu
[12:07] <adaptr> eternaljoy: no, not in private
[12:07] <eternaljoy> adaptr: whats the link u trying to send me?
[12:08] <Bobbix> no response for me ?
[12:08] <rem|garvin> whats the best way to dual boot windows xp and ubuntu on my laptop?
[12:08] <mnoir> Morn\: that is more a legal than technical question - you're might want to research on the web site
[12:08] <LjL> Ubotu, tell rem|garvin about dualboot | rem|garvin, see the private message from Ubotu
[12:08] <ubotwo> Sorry, I know nothing about that - try http://help.ubuntu.com/community/

[12:09] <juano> zeer88: gstreamer0.8-mad ---> tried this? -mad ?
[12:09] <adaptr> eternaljoy: I did not *try* to - I did, twice
[12:09] <eternaljoy> adaptr: well I didnt see it
[12:09] <adaptr> 6 minutes ago and 11 minutes ago
[12:09] <eternaljoy> adaptr: maybe you writing wrong command
[12:09] <adaptr> eternaljoy: and that'
[12:09] <Serishema> i'm having trouble with glade on edgy (6.10)
[12:10] <nekr0z> Hello all! Is there any way to install Ubuntu on a 16 MB of RAM machine?
[12:10] <adaptr> and that's my fault.. how, exactly ?
[12:10] <Serishema> i've installed the glade package but glade still gives command not found, is there anything else i have to install?
[12:10] <adaptr> eternaljoy: please don't blabber
[12:10] <LjL> nekr0z: maybe the server edition, and yet i doubt it
[12:10] <rem|garvin> thanks
[12:10] <Textboo1> 16mb of RAM is quite a stretch
[12:10] <LjL> nekr0z: you're better of with a distribution specifically thought for very small systems
[12:10] <zeer88> juano, i'm installing that now
[12:11] <frootstripe> hi - i entered an about:config entry incorrectly (actually, i did it twice) I need to delete one entry, and modify another from being a string to being an integer
[12:11] <Bobbix> heeeeeeeeelp:
[12:11] <adaptr> nekr0z: it might *run*.. but you'll have to install it by hand
[12:11] <nekr0z> LjL: Damn...  Not worth downloading another distro.
[12:11] <juano> zeer88: ok, try installing gstreamer stuff that have to do with mp3/ audio, etc.
[12:11] <eternaljoy> adaptr: blabber?
[12:11] <adaptr> nekr0z: better go for slackware with uclinux and uclibc I think...
[12:11] <zeer88> juano, if any other player allowed me to build libraries on the other partition, i'd be happy
[12:11] <zeer88> juano: the problem seems to be only rhythmbo
[12:11] <eternaljoy> adaptr: why are u poiting ppl away from ubuntu?
[12:11] <mnoir> nekr0z: or DSL
[12:12] <frootstripe> anybody know how to do this - the edit button's delete is shaded out
[12:12] <LjL> nekr0z, i've got Debian happily - well, slowly but happily - running on a 486, i think it's got 16 megs. yet i haven't upgraded it in quite a while, and of course it's textmode-only
[12:12] <nekr0z> adaptr: Thanks, but I think burning this Pentium I is a better idea :)))
[12:12] <juano> zeer88: you want to build a list with your mp3s from another partition?
[12:12] <adaptr> eternaljoy: yes, blabber - everybody in this channel could read the link I posted, and I prefixed your name so it would be highlighted for you; alas, that was not enough to attract your attention....
[12:12] <nekr0z> LjL: I don't need anything but a textmode there anyway...
[12:12] <Bobbix> nobody want to help me?
[12:12] <eternaljoy> anyone recommend installing the Newer versions of Wine?
[12:13] <eternaljoy> adaptr: ok np
[12:13] <adaptr> eternaljoy: and instead of scrolling back a few screens to locate said links, you suggest that I'm not doing it right
[12:13] <zeer88> juano, i want a player that automatically makes a library of music, like rythmbox :p
[12:13] <LjL> nekr0z: then either try ubuntu server, or give up, if you don't want another distro. however i suppose to try ubuntu server you'll have to download another cd anyway. you might be interested in this, though:
[12:13] <LjL> !minimal
[12:13] <ubotwo> The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[12:13] <pppoe_dude> hi
[12:13] <eternaljoy> adaptr: ok sorry, but I didnt see it! not sure why
[12:13] <adaptr> eternaljoy: that's what I meant with "blabber"
[12:13] <eternaljoy> adaptr: ok
[12:13] <pppoe_dude> anyone here has a speedtouch 330 modem working on edgy?
[12:13] <juano> zeer88: try amarok
[12:13] <adaptr> eternaljoy: nor am I :)
[12:13] <Bobbix> ahhhh
[12:13] <Bobbix> ok
[12:13] <Bobbix> adios
[12:13] <zeer88> ok juano, i will ;)
[12:13] <bruce_> join gramps
[12:13] <eternaljoy> adaptr: is wine any good? I need to run a ms windows .exe phone program
[12:13] <Bobbix> no help for me? goood bye
[12:14] <LjL> eternaljoy: just try, it's not a huge download
[12:14] <nekr0z> LjL: Thanx. I have alternate anyway...
[12:14] <eternaljoy> adaptr: I had the bot on ignore! :P  i unignored it
[12:14] <LjL> nekr0z: that's good, then just give it a try
[12:14] <eternaljoy> adaptr: not sure why the bot was on my ignore hehe
[12:14] <pppoe_dude> im following a dapper howto and it doesn't work on edg6y
[12:14] <adaptr> eternaljoy: go try it out already ! unless you need to play games or depend on specific windows hardware interfacing, wine should pretty much work
[12:14] <eternaljoy> adaptr: ok cheers
[12:14] <eternaljoy> brb
[12:14] <pppoe_dude> it gives me a "firmware not found stage 1" error
[12:15] <pppoe_dude> but i didn install the firmware that i installed before
[12:15] <adaptr> eternaljoy: running office probably won't work, but normal, run-of-the-0mill networking tools and stuff should do fine
[12:15] <nekr0z> LjL: Already tried. It goes to kernel panic at some moment, whatever install option I choose.
[12:15] <pppoe_dude> s/didn/did
[12:16] <Intangir> anyone know where to find a native version of quake3 for linux?
[12:16] <LjL> nekr0z: hm, i bet that has little to do with the amount of memory. somehow, i think you should rather try a 2.4 kernel
[12:16] <LjL> nekr0z: as well as acpi=off and all that usual stuff, if you haven't already
[12:17] <AbeLincoln> Is is safe to uninstall ubuntu-minimal?
[12:17] <eternaljoy> adaptr: ok ty
[12:17] <SubMOA> whats force quit again?
[12:17] <eternaljoy> LjL: ok its instaling now
[12:18] <mc44> AbeLincoln: not if you want your system to remain working
[12:18] <nekr0z> LjL: You're right, I should have thought of it. Thanks, I'll give various options a try... As a matter of fact, kernel claims to have tried killing init.
[12:18] <eternaljoy> LjL: I have some money in a web phone service, but I cant use it unless I run their .exe file. so thats why I asked
[12:18] <AbeLincoln> Ok, I take that as a yes. Thanks!
[12:18] <LjL> eternaljoy: hm, which service is that?
[12:18] <LjL> nekr0z: well i don't know how well a 2.4 kernel would run with ubuntu, however
[12:19] <eternaljoy> AbeLincoln: Abe once said "I do not like that man, I shall have to get to know him better" :)
[12:19] <LjL> i'd still lean on using another distro
[12:19] <Jed> hi. im trying to install ubuntu but it keeps freezing up on me
[12:19] <eternaljoy> LjL: cellwireless.com
[12:19] <Jed> i've tried 6.06 PC, 6.06 PC64 and 6.10 and they all freeze =(
[12:19] <eternaljoy> LjL: heard of them?
[12:20] <LjL> eternaljoy: never. and for that matter, their site seems to require flash which i don't have ;)
[12:20] <nekr0z> LjL: I have a 5.10 cd somewhere... Was that 2.4 or 2.6 already?
[12:20] <eternaljoy> LjL: I have some credit left from them since I stoped building that business. its a pyramid scam
[12:20] <LjL> nekr0z: 2.6
[12:20] <eternaljoy> LjL: hehe ok ;)
[12:20] <LjL> nekr0z: get a debian businesscard if you can spare 30megs of bandwidth
[12:20] <eternaljoy> LjL: why do they still use flash some websites? dont they realise flash is dead? LOL
[12:20] <mc44> LjL: how do you watch youtube?!?!?! etc. :p
[12:20] <LjL> mc44: easy, i don't :)
[12:20] <Jed> anyone? :/
[12:20] <eternaljoy> mc44: with your eyes ;)
[12:21] <eternaljoy> LjL: LOL
[12:21] <mc44> LjL: missing a cultural revolution there :)
[12:21] <LjL> Jed: hm when does it freeze
[12:21] <eternaljoy> mc44: try easyubuntu
[12:21] <thug> hi
[12:21] <thug> do you guys know this Christian Ubuntu ? christianubuntu.com
[12:22] <LjL> mc44: i've had that feeling... however, i'm also convinced i would have quite missed it even if i had flash. and on the third hand, is that really a cultural revolution or more of a pointless fashionable thing that will vanish in a year
[12:22] <Jed> LjL: when its loading the install. all the progress bars go through, then a peach screen comes up and theres a grey line with lots of weird colors in the middle
[12:22] <LjL> or for that matter, is this ontopic. no. sssh :P
[12:22] <nekr0z> LjL: :( Anyway, I'll try to use what I have. Bandwith is unlimited, but the speed is 64 kbps, this is why I'm not so fond of downloading another distro. Anyway, this is all just for fun. I can't imagine the reason for using P-100/16MB...
[12:22] <BlueEagle> thug: Is that the one where they've removed all the bad language from the kernel like "spawn daemon", "fork child" and "kill parent"? :p
[12:22] <LjL> Jed: have you tried failsafe mode?
[12:23] <thug> BlueEagle they might yeah :D
[12:23] <bds> what is the best way to reconfigure xorg.conf if I installed a new nVidia card. I had a previous nVidia card so the drivers are already present
[12:23] <LjL> nekr0z, i don't have a name ready, but i'm sure there are some *very* small distributions around that you could use
[12:23] <z1adoz> any idea what this error means? : W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com edgy/universe Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/gb.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_edgy_universe_binary-i386_Packages)
[12:23] <Jed> LjL: "Start Ubuntu in safe graphics mode" ?
[12:23] <LjL> nekr0z: of course most of them wouldn't quite have a huge repository of software
[12:23] <LjL> Jed: yes, i meant that
[12:23] <BlueEagle> bds: You need to rebuild the drivers because of the way they interface with the kernel methinks.
[12:23] <BlueEagle> bds: Other than that there should be no reason for reconfiguring Xorg as the drivers should be loaded once they have been rebuildt.
[12:23] <thug> how the fuck`s Christian ? ahh ?
[12:24] <SubMOA> holy crap i can't force quit this app.  I tried TOP but I cant find it, and I can't find a "force quit" button HELP!!

[12:24] <thug> tonyyarusso aight
[12:24] <bds> BlueEagle: Makes sense, I am used to using the installer from nVidia, but not sure how to do it the "ubuntu way"
[12:24] <nekr0z> LjL: I beleive DSL or something like that would help. But I doubt it's worth the efoort :))))
[12:24] <DBO> ok I think hes got it =P
[12:25] <bds> BlueEagle: I tried dpkg-reconfigure but that started asking me for pci bus id's and such
[12:25] <bds> BlueEagle: I thought there has to be a better way?

[12:25] <BlueEagle> bds: iirc
[12:26] <Jed> LjL: same thing. it stops right after playing some audio clip
[12:26] <bds> BlueEagle: Worth a try I guess, thanks :)
[12:26] <n2diy> I have an SSH/NFS problem. I have  a text file on this box called Sig_file, when I right click on it, go to properties, I see it is associated with gedit. When I SSH in to this box, and try to open that file, it doesn't work, and no apps are associated with the file? If I rename the file, and add .txt to it, I can open it remotely. Any idea why the remote box isn't picking up the association?
[12:26] <tortellini> have any of you heard of docker, because i am having a hard time installing it.
[12:26] <MFen> is there a howto on building a compatible kernel in ubuntu? by "compatible" i mean.. i just want /usr/src/linux to contain something that third-party modules can compile against
[12:26] <CheshireViking> !firewall
[12:26] <ubotwo> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[12:26] <MFen> i don't even want to install this kernel, i just want to build the vmware tools
[12:27] <BlueEagle> !build-essential
[12:27] <ubotwo> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[12:27] <graft> tortellini! you're delicious...
[12:27] <MFen> i did apt-get source linux-image-`uname -r`, apt-get build-dep !$ already
[12:27] <MFen> and i'm running debuild in that dir
[12:27] <tortellini> graft, thank you
[12:27] <MFen> but it wants a version.h, and the build process isn't creating one :(
[12:27] <MFen> i.e. /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h
[12:28] <LjL> Jed: if you hit Ctrl+Alt+F2, do you get a console?
[12:28] <BlueEagle> mfen: Be aware that some applications _may_ require spesific features in the kernel or spesific kernel versions due to "smart programming"(tm) (read: hacks)
[12:28] <scifi> is there an easy webserver/mysql installation package for kubuntu?
[12:28] <scifi> or *ubuntu
[12:28] <juano> LjL: ctrl + alt + F1  -up to ->  F5 consoles
[12:28] <MFen> BlueEagle: yeah, i'm aware of that too, but i've been successful in the past with just changing the version string to match what's expected (i.e. uname -r)
[12:28] <MFen> BlueEagle: as long as /usr/src/linux is pretty close
[12:29] <MFen> BlueEagle: however, i want to know if there's an accepted and blessed way to do this up *right*
[12:29] <LjL> juano: i know that. it was in a context though.
[12:29] <MFen> it just seems ridiculous at this point, and i'm a person who's been building linux kernels since 1994
[12:29] <SubMOA> can you please tell me how to force quit an application in Ubuntu?
[12:29] <SubMOA> without using TOP
[12:29] <_Sean> !swap
[12:29] <ubotwo> swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info
[12:29] <juano> LjL: oh.. sorry, thought you were asking :) good then
[12:30] <tonyyarusso> SubMOA: gnome-system-monitor?
[12:30] <BlueEagle> mfen: It's been my experience that any package that is not in the repository isn't "right" by default. If noone here knows you might have a go at the wmware support forums.
[12:30] <SubMOA> tonyyarusso, i'll give it a go
[12:30] <Jed> LjL: yes
[12:30] <n2diy> Curious, I'm sharing my home folder with NFS, but it is showing up in firestarter as a samba connection?
[12:30] <Jed> LjL: how do i go back to the UI?
[12:30] <caffiendo> How can I upload an entire directory and sub-directories from my PC to a Web-server via SSH, sCP, sFTP, or whatever command is needed..?.
[12:30] <MFen> BlueEagle: yeah.
[12:30] <LjL> Jed: ctrl+alt+F7, but i'm not sure that will help (but try)
[12:30] <SubMOA> thank you SOOO much tonyyarusso
[12:31] <Marupa> is there a tool that shows you packet data and/or realtime ethernet useage?  I want to see just how much of my internet is being used.
[12:31] <nekr0z> Jed: Alt+F7, actually.
[12:31] <LjL> nekr0z: same thing
[12:31] <Jed> it just froze again :)
[12:31] <MFen> i wonder if i just need linux-headers-`uname -r`
[12:31] <gu014> is there ayway i can mount a windows hardrive with a ubuntu 6.10 live cd. i am trying to recover some data?
[12:31] <LjL> Jed: well i suggest you do a "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" in the console that you have, and see if you can get X in a working state
[12:31] <graft> MFen: yeah that's what oyu want...
[12:31] <HymnToLife> !ntfs | gu014
[12:31] <ubotwo> gu014: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions. For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[12:32] <nekr0z> LjL: Hell no. Going from console back to UI Ctrl+Alt+F7 sometimes fails for me, while Alt+F7 works.
[12:32] <Jed> can i boot directly to the a prompt?
[12:32] <graft> MFen: for building drivers against the stock kernel?
[12:32] <MFen> graft: yah!
[12:32] <graft> MFen: yep, install linux-headers-whatever-the-funk

[12:32] <MFen> graft: awesome. ty
[12:32] <caffiendo> does anyone here even use the TERMINAL?
[12:32] <LjL> nekr0z: hm i see, weird, it always worked for me. i figured it would be easier to always give people the same keyboard schema instead of explaining why you need Ctrl in X and not in the console
[12:32] <juano__> Jed: you can select to boot into console at the  login window clicking session button
[12:33] <Jed> juano__: im still trying to install it :P
[12:33] <LjL> caffiendo: most of us, i guess
[12:33] <kiamo> heya
[12:33] <Marupa> I just started on linux, and I use it quite often.
[12:34] <nekr0z> LjL: I beleive it would be logical to work the same way in both directions. But, as I told, at least on my system it sometimes doesnt ((((
[12:34] <caffiendo> LjL: do you know how to copy recursively (sub-dir) from my PC to a web-server over ssh, scp of sftp?
[12:34] <graft> caffiendo: scp -r
[12:34] <SurfnKid> hi there
[12:34] <SurfnKid> is there a good browser for cli
[12:34] <Marupa> so are there any graphical tools for packet checking and ethernet usage?
[12:34] <SurfnKid> that can view images??
[12:34] <caffiendo> graft. I'll thry that I thought I had..
[12:34] <SurfnKid> so i can use cli the whole time instead of gdm
[12:34] <kiamo> is it normal when im extracting the stuff for a debootstrap enviroment for it to just finish up like this?
[12:34] <LjL> caffiendo: from "man scp", "-r      Recursively copy entire directories."
[12:34] <nekr0z> Jed: Not sure, but you can always use Ctrl+Alt+F(1-5) to get there.
[12:34] <kiamo> I: Extracting libgcc1...
[12:34] <kiamo> kiamo@Otsu:~$
[12:35] <MFen> graft: halle-frickin-llujah.  it built.  thanks :)
[12:35] <graft> MFen: cool beans
[12:35] <kiamo> im just not sure if its done it right...
[12:36] <timo> guys i have a question, how do i change the color of the "menu window"
[12:36] <timo> its at applications *
[12:36] <Jed> LjL: is there a way that i can install without the GUI?
[12:37] <tonyyarusso> Anybody know how to do business card templates in OOo?
[12:37] <nekr0z> Jed: Sure. Sudo apt-get install <package>
[12:37] <LjL> Jed: yes, you can use the Alternate CD
[12:37] <LjL> Ubotu, tell Jed about alternate | Jed, see the private message from Ubotu
[12:37] <Jed> nekr0z: I dont have the OS on my hard drive yet. its freezing up when im installing the whole thing
[12:37] <nekr0z> Jed: "sudo" not "Sudo" of course.
[12:37] <steelb> Whenever I try to use "nvidia" in my xorg.conf and i get an error when trying to start up xserv the error is "Failed to load module "wfb" (module does not exist, 0)" and the FATAL error is "Error running install ocmmand for nvidia" how do i fix it?
[12:38] <nomego> how do I set the LC_TIME for a user 'the ubuntu way' ?
[12:38] <LjL> Jed: however, if the GUI doesn't work in the Desktop CD, chances are it won't work in your installation...
[12:38] <Jed> well, it kinda works
[12:38] <nekr0z> Jed: sorry, I missed it.
[12:38] <Jed> it draws the background and attemps to draw the bars on top/bottom, but it freezes up at some point
[12:39] <LjL> Jed: i don't know, i *could* tell you to try the alternate CD, but it might just end up in wasted time for you
[12:39] <Jed> :/
[12:39] <nekr0z> Jed: Give Alternate a try, anyway. Configuring xorg.conf manually is sometimes of great help.
[12:40] <graft> Jed: sure your video card is in good health?
[12:40] <Jed> graft: i havent had any problems with it running windows
[12:40] <caffiendo> graft: I get this error:  This account is restricted by rssh, Allowed commands: sftp
[12:40] <Jed> its a nvidia 7800 gt
[12:40] <lxuser> I have a problem with the nvidia driver
[12:40] <caffiendo> graft: is there another way to do it?
[12:40] <nekr0z> Jed: BTW, what kind of video card do you use?
[12:41] <Jed> nekr0z: its a nvidia 7800 gt
[12:41] <nekr0z> Jed: I'm not fast enough :)))
[12:41] <kiamo> !dapper
[12:41] <ubotwo> dapper is the 4th release of Ubuntu.  Version 6.06 LTS, codename "Dapper Drake".
[12:41] <n2diy_> When I connect to this box remotely via SSH/NFS, the remote box isn't picking up the file associations, but they are ok here. Ie. I have a text file called sig_file, if I double click it here, gedit opens it up, but the remote box says it doesn't know how to open it.
[12:41] <lxuser> in the nvdia forums said I have to uninstall the linux-restricted-modules-common
[12:42] <lxuser> Then I install the driver with no problem
[12:42] <nekr0z> Jed: Then I advise installing from Alternate CD and then play around with xorg.conf and video driver.
[12:42] <lxuser> but the X server crach
[12:42] <lxuser> crash
[12:42] <lxuser> the kernel I am using is home made
[12:43] <Jed> nekr0z: do you have any experience with this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/install.exe/Prototype ?
[12:43] <lxuser> someone can helpe with this
[12:43] <graft> caffiendo: use sftp?
[12:43] <nekr0z> Jed: No. I quit Windows long before this project started :)
[12:43] <adaptr> lxuser: if you are using a homegrown kernel, it's pretty much impossible to tell you what is wrong with it
[12:43] <lxuser> the only why I can start the X server is installing linux-restricted-modules-common
[12:43] <BenPA> hello all ... can anyone tell me how to  access smoothdock not ksmoothdock after you install it with the package manager? I tried help but it refers to ksmoothdock not smoothdock ... thanks
[12:44] <lxuser> what its happenning in here my friends
[12:44] <lxuser> have already googled
[12:44] <kingv> hey guys!
[12:44] <Kewlb> ugh, just installed ubuntu (Dapper) on my desktop and now just about nothing is working.. first step I guess is WLAN.. I have a D-Link Air DWL-520 what do I need to do to get it up and working?
[12:44] <caffiendo> graft: when I use sftp, I have to use "put -r"  correct?
[12:44] <Jed> nekr0z: lol. everyone has been telling me to try ubuntu and here i am *trying* to install it and its freezing :(
[12:44] <adaptr> lxuser: we'll need a *lot* more pertinent information to be of any help
[12:44] <wimpies> does anybody know if there is a 'standard' script that is run to make incremental backups of mysql ?
[12:44] <graft> caffiendo: try just using your scp line, but instead of typing 'scp', type 'sftp'
[12:45] <adaptr> Jed: hardware ?
[12:45] <caffiendo> graft sftp doesn't allow recursive function
[12:45] <kingv> does anyone know what plugins would i need to install so i can watch iptv with firefox???
[12:45] <nekr0z> Jed: Well, your video card is almost still shining, and Linux tends to have problems with newest hardware... Mainly because the manufacturers like Windows more...
[12:46] <Jed> adaptr: AMD 3800+ X2, nvidia 7800 GT, 1gb ram
[12:46] <lxuser> ok
[12:46] <lxuser> adaptr
[12:46] <kingv> does anyone know what plugins would i need to install so i can watch iptv with firefox???
[12:47] <BenPA> hello all ... can anyone tell me how to  access smoothdock not ksmoothdock after you install it with the package manager? I tried help but it refers to ksmoothdock not smoothdock ... thanks
[12:47] <adaptr> Jed: which install CD do you have ?
[12:47] <graft> caffiendo: hm. um, well if you were running KDE, i would suggest doing it via konqueror... otherwise i dunno... there's probably a gnome equivalent but i don't know it
[12:47] <nekr0z> Jed: Just don't give up. You'll get it working, I swear.
[12:47] <adaptr> caffiendo: what is wrong with using scp ?
[12:47] <caffiendo> graft: thanks for the help.  I'm new to linux and thought I was just over looking something.
[12:48] <Jed> adaptr: i've tried 6.06 PC, 6.06 PC-64 and 6.10 PC
[12:48] <caffiendo> adaptr: I deed to transfer a folder and subfolders to my webserver.
[12:48] <mario_> ciao
[12:48] <adaptr> Jed: PC ?
[12:48] <Jed> adaptr: they all freeze at the same point. right after the music clip plays
[12:48] <DARKGuy> Hey :) Is there a way I can download an *entire* website in Linux to keep a personal backup in case the site goes offline :( ?
[12:48] <Jed> adaptr: "Version 6.06 LTS for your PC"
[12:48] <Jed> DARKGuy: wget
[12:48] <gu014> !fuse
[12:48] <ubotwo> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing using fuse here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[12:48] <caffiendo> adaptr: the server doesn't allow scp and sftp doesn't allow recursive copying
[12:48] <adaptr> Jed: music clip ?  I've never heard a music clip.. but is there a reason you;re not installing Edgy ?
[12:48] <kingv> does anyone know what plugins would i need to install so i can watch iptv with firefox??? (channelchooser/similar sites)
[12:48] <idea> hello. i have a few issues after installing edgy on a dell inspiron.
[12:49] <lxuser> The kernel I am using is <IP_ADDRESS>, remove the linux-restricted-modules-common, then kill X, after that I install de Nvidia driver with no problems, but when I want to modprobe nvidia driver said tha not found /sbin/lrm-video
[12:49] <DARKGuy> Jed: I've heard wget can do that, but do you know how to do it? o.o
[12:49] <Jed> adaptr: i've tried 6.10 and the same thing happened
[12:49] <lxuser> the only way I can load the nvidia driver is installing linux-restricted-modules-common
[12:49] <Jed> DARKGuy: i've never used it, sorry :(
[12:49] <adaptr> caffiendo: then use a decent ftp client, like gftp, that does the work for you... or use a file manager plugin, like there are for both nautilus and konqueror
[12:50] <nekr0z> Jed: Didn't you try to select a VGA option in the very beginning of installation?
[12:50] <DARKGuy> Jed: Aw, it's okay then :( thanks for the clue though, so I'm sure that what I heard wasn't just a rumor ^^
[12:50] <Jed> nekr0z: yes
[12:50] <lxuser> For what I read linux-restricted-modules-common has to be removed
[12:50] <idea> my issues are: 1) after dist-upgrade, i'm missing menu icons. 2) no sound. 3) no screensaver action (although can be previewed). 4) No ntfs partitions visible.
[12:50] <kingv> does anyone know what plugins would i need to install so i can watch iptv with firefox??? (channelchooser/similar sites)
[12:50] <break_> are there any advantages of running edgy over dapper?
[12:51] <lxuser> anyway if linux-restricted-modules-common installed works but anyone can explain what is happening,
[12:51] <phixnay> hi I'm trying to build wine from source, but I get an error during configure saying C compiler cannot create executables. Do I have to be root or something?
[12:51] <lxuser> Running in Edgy
[12:51] <nekr0z> Jed: Try Alternate CD, install the system that can at least boot into the CLI, and then fix the driver and xorg.conf. This is what I would do...
[12:51] <graft> phixnay: did you install build-essential?
[12:51] <phixnay> yes
[12:52] <Jed> nekr0z: theres no non-UI installer on the normal CD?
[12:52] <caffiendo> adaptr:  thanks, I'll try that.  It needs to send 45,000 files, 845megs
[12:52] <lxuser> using a Fx5200 agp on Asus motherboar
[12:52] <nekr0z> Jed: I believe it is only available on Alternate :(((
[12:52] <timo> i want to customize the menu
[12:52] <adaptr> caffiendo: and te web server only supports ftp ?
[12:52] <Jed> nekr0z: *boots into windows to install linux* iiiiiiiiiiiiiirony :(
[12:53] <caffiendo> It supports ssh, and sftp but the sftp function doesn't support -r, the recursive function
[12:53] <BenPA> hello all ... can anyone tell me how to  access smoothdock not ksmoothdock after you install it with the package manager? I tried help but it refers to ksmoothdock not smoothdock ... thanks
[12:53] <Marupa> No graphical tools for packet checking and ethernet usage?
[12:53] <kingv> does anyone know what plugins would i need to install so i can watch iptv with firefox??? (channelchooser/similar sites)
[12:55] <idea> now. sound in edgy. lost after dist-upgrade.. i'm on an inspiron 1100 here.. any ideas please?
[12:55] <graft> phixnay: apparently you can't build wine from source at all
[12:55] <n2diy> When I connect to this box remotely via SSH/NFS, the remote box isn't picking up the file associations, but they are ok here. Ie. I have a text file called sig_file, if I double click it here, gedit opens it up, but the remote box says it doesn't know how to open it.
[12:56] <graft> phixnay: apparently needs to be built with gcc-3.4, and you're probably going to have a tough time getting that working
[12:56] <qid> is wifi-radar still the recommended software to use to handle connecting to different wireless networks?
[12:57] <hanso> hey. when I have done a modprobe snd_seq (for instance) how do I reverse the action (remove it again)???
[12:57] <kingv> does anyone know what plugins would i need to install so i can watch iptv with firefox??? (channelchooser/similar sites)
[12:57] <phixnay> graft: ah, that would be a problem... oh well i don't really need wine
[12:57] <graft> phixnay: err wait someone else claims you just have to install libc6-dev-i386
[12:57] <caffiendo> adaptr: gftp seems to be working.  I just wanted to try to use the terminal b/c no WinXP FTP progam has been even close to handeling the transfer..
[12:57] <graft> phixnay: what's wrong with wine in the repository?
[12:58] <phixnay> I can't connect to it for some reason
[12:58] <adaptr> caffiendo: I assume this is a web host ?
[12:58] <thug> anyone using horde ?
[12:58] <kingv> does anyone know what codecs/plugins would i need to install so i can watch iptv with firefox??? (channelchooser/similar sites)

[12:59] <ubotwo> Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead
[12:59] <graft> phixnay: uh? sounds like you have bigger problems :P
[12:59] <phixnay> graft: could not download all repository indexes
[12:59] <Sicaine> how can i activate my second monitor?
[12:59] <graft> phixnay: better fix that... which mirror are you using?
[12:59] <Sicaine> !xgl

[12:59] <whileimhere> can anyone tell me why VLC feezes on playback of a partial AVI rather than like MPEG s skipping the missing sections?
[12:59] <Sicaine> wuhu you are really funny graft! -_-
[12:59] <phixnay> graft, it might only be for i386
[12:59] <graft> phixnay: oh, custom wine repository?
[01:00] <graft> phixnay: i386 should work for lotsa stuff... but there's a wine built in the normal ubuntu mirror...
[01:00] <graft> phixnay: granted it's from 2004 (!), but...
[01:01] <idea> hmm.
[01:01] <phixnay> graft: I did a search for it and didn't see it in synaptic
[01:01] <graft> ... what, on dapper?
[01:01] <idea> so. anyone got any magic ideas for restoring sound in edgy?
[01:01] <kingv> does anyone know what codecs/plugins would i need to install so i can watch iptv with firefox??? (channelchooser/similar sites)
[01:02] <nekr0z> phixnay: Do you have Universe repos enabled?
[01:02] <idea> kingv: try Automatix for starters..
[01:02] <graft> idea: what error do you get?
[01:02] <charlie5> does anyone use usb hardrives with evms ?
[01:02] <adaptr> !w32codecs | kingv
[01:02] <ubotwo> kingv: Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages including w32codecs | info at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages | See !codecs for more information
[01:02] <kingv> idea: i have it..
[01:02] <idea> graft: no errors.. sound appears to be playing, but isn't/
[01:02] <phixnay> nekr0z - universe and multiverse enabled. maybe I need 32 bit libraries or something
[01:02] <graft> idea: turn up the volume via alsamixer?
[01:03] <kingv> idea: awesome man! thanks a lot!
[01:03] <dromer> how can I automate the process of mounting/umounting usb-flash-drivs?
[01:03] <idea> graft: i *think* so.. the widget on my systray is max, and there was sound prior to dist-upgrade
[01:03] <PirateHead> I'm having trouble with my menu system
[01:03] <PirateHead> I want to rebuild the menus, but I can't figure out how all the XML files link up
[01:03] <PirateHead> can somebody help me?
[01:03] <graft> idea: run alsamixer in the console and turn up whatever you can
[01:03] <nekr0z> Not sure. Why don't you check the official Wine repos? They have a most recent version anyway...
[01:03] <idea> ok..
[01:04] <dbglt> hi
[01:04] <dbglt> is there a way to force an install of a package via apt?
[01:04] <jrib> PirateHead: right click on the ubuntu icon and click "edit menus"
[01:04] <Math^> hello, is there some alternative for macromedia flash? (editor)
[01:04] <dbglt> I want to force install amarok-xine, ignoring all dependencies (I've built amarok from source, already)
[01:04] <idea> hmm.. ok.. looks like we might be making progress here.. maybe..
[01:04] <PirateHead> jrib: I want to manually rebuild the menu system because the GUI stopped working
[01:05] <idea> graft: how do i toggle a source?
[01:05] <graft> idea: toggle? source?
[01:05] <docmur> hello all
[01:05] <PirateHead> jrib: I looked at the .menu files and they're a mess, so I'm guessing something went wrong.
[01:05] <verve> so anyone? do i need nvidia-kernel-source to compile my own kernel?
[01:05] <jrib> PirateHead: the menu won't really do anything for you without a gui though :/   Have you read the gnome learning docs?
[01:05] <idea> graft: yeah.. turn on/off..
[01:05] <graft> idea: m for mute, you mean?
[01:05] <PirateHead> jrib: Where are the gnome learning docs?
[01:05] <n2diy> When I connect to this box remotely via SSH/NFS, the remote box isn't picking up the file associations, but they are ok here. Ie. I have a text file called sig_file, if I double click it here, gedit opens it up, but the remote box says it doesn't know how to open it.
[01:05] <docmur> I need to know if the linux kernel has support for the M68DEMO908GB60, a 6808 microcontoller borad
[01:06] <idea> graft: thanks.. let's see..
[01:06] <graft> idea: play the 1812 overture
[01:06] <graft> idea: like in V for Vendetta
[01:06] <jrib> PirateHead: http://www.gnome.org/learn/
[01:06] <dat> any proftpd experts?  i'm having trouble configuring proftpd to get passive connections to work properly behind the nat.
[01:06] <caffiendo> what's the best way to compress directories and it's sub-d's to transfer and then unzip on a web-server?
[01:06] <nekr0z> phixnay: Not sure. Why don't you check the official Wine repos? They have a most recent version anyway...
[01:06] <graft> caffiendo: tar+gzip
[01:06] <dat> i can connect, but i can't get a directory listing
[01:06] <Math^> please is there any alternative for macromedia studio ???
[01:06] <jrib> PirateHead: what exactly is the problem with the gui?
[01:06] <PirateHead> jrib: I don't think what I want to do entials "general use" of GNOME
[01:07] <graft> caffiendo: tar -cvzf <whatever>.tar.gz <list of files>
[01:07] <phixnay> nekr0z - I thought that was what I was using. I got the source lines from winehq
[01:07] <jrib> PirateHead: http://www.gnome.org/learn/admin-guide/2.14/menustructure-0.html
[01:07] <PirateHead> jrib: I want to reconfigure my menus, adding a program to them that currently isn't there
[01:07] <phixnay> !wine
[01:07] <ubotwo> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[01:07] <caffiendo> graft: thatnk, do you think that could be the best bet here since the sftp and scp don't work?
[01:07] <PirateHead> jrib: I also want to disable one of the submenus
[01:07] <idea> graft: thanks a lot. sound now working.. 1 down, 2 to go :)
[01:07] <PirateHead> jrib: I tried to do this using the GUI, but it doesn't function
[01:07] <graft> caffiendo: probably... why doesn't sftp work?
[01:07] <gma> PirateHead: you should have an app called Alacarte
[01:08] <jrib> PirateHead: what does it do?
[01:08] <gma> PirateHead: check in Accessories, or maybe in Preferences (might be called Menus or something these days)
[01:08] <gma> PirateHead: it can disable menu items
[01:08] <caffiendo> graft: it doesn't do files recursively..
[01:08] <PirateHead> gma: The GUI that handles that does not work. That is my problem.
[01:08] <nekr0z> dat: check whether it is reporting you IP to remote host correctly - it has to be not your internal IP. Not sure about where exactly this option was.
[01:08] <gma> PirateHead: oh. sorry, just joined
[01:08] <PirateHead> jrib: The GUI is somewhat nonresponsive. I can click on the boxes, but they do not check or uncheck.
[01:09] <idea> graft: is there a full gui version of the alsamixer?
[01:09] <graft> caffiendo: gftp/nautilus/konqueror?
[01:09] <vikal> #ubuntu.pl
[01:09] <PirateHead> jrib: I also cannot add items using the wizard.
[01:09] <jrib> PirateHead: have you check the permissions on the files in your $HOME?
[01:09] <caffiendo> graft: it's 45,000 files at 845 megs..
[01:09] <graft> idea: um... probably... i just use the KDE mixer applet
[01:09] <nekr0z> phixnay: Then I'm lost. Did I understand it right - you have a 64bit system?
[01:09] <caffiendo> gftp just froze even with 1,000 files
[01:09] <graft> caffiendo: yeah, so a tarball is your best bet, then
[01:09] <caffiendo> graft: thanks a lot!
[01:10] <idea> have to say, graft is the man in here.
[01:10] <adaptr> caffiendo: you're telling me you haven't done that yet ? that's.. insane-y
[01:10] <phixnay> nekr0z, graft, with the normal repositories, I see things like libwine but not wine. Yes, I have 64
[01:10] <PirateHead> jrib: The file permissions are all set to me.
[01:10] <graft> for the moment, anyway
[01:10] <idea> :)
[01:10] <adaptr> caffiendo: it's simple to script, too - with ftp or scp
[01:10] <caffiendo> adaptr: this is the first try..
[01:10] <idea> ok.. problem #2.
[01:10] <jrib> PirateHead: strange, then you should file a bug on alacarte.  What version of ubuntu are you using?
[01:11] <idea> after dist-upgrade, i no longer have icons on my main menus..
[01:11] <graft> but these are just panzy questions about sound and tar/gzip...
[01:11] <PirateHead> jrib: 6.10 Edgy, fully updated
[01:11] <idea> panzy to you, potential deal stoppers to the likes of me :)
[01:11] <PirateHead> jrib: I'm uncomfortable filing a bug because I've never used the bug tracker before, and because I don't know what might have caused the bug.
[01:11] <Jed> nekr0z: ok, im booting up the alternate cd now
[01:12] <PirateHead> jrib: My main concern is rebuilding my menu system so that it's usable once again
[01:12] <PirateHead> jrib: There are currently a bunch of duplicate entries and stuff
[01:12] <graft> idea: um, try installing gnome-icon-theme
[01:12] <adaptr> PirateHead: you're not required to know what *caused* it to file a bug; being able to reproduce it would be a big help, but even that isn't mandatory
[01:12] <nekr0z> Jed: Wish my connection was half that fast!
[01:12] <jrib> PirateHead: well you could always just delete/rename the local menu stuff you have in your $HOME and then use alacarte to rebuild it
[01:12] <idea> graft: ok. on it.
[01:12] <caffiendo> adaptr:graft: It's uploading now, lol. don't know why I didn't think of that earlier. not used to command line hosting..
[01:12] <riotkittie> ew. i had like triplicate menus under enlightenment once. i dont know what i did but it was horrible
[01:12] <PirateHead> jrib: how do I use alacarte to rebuild it?
[01:12] <jrib> PirateHead: also, have you tried running alacarte from the terminal to see if you get meaningful output when you try to perform actions that aren't working?
[01:12] <PirateHead> jrib: That's exactly what I want to do.
[01:13] <graft> caffiendo: here's a question for you - since you don't have shell access, how are you going to untar it on the other side?
[01:13] <caffiendo> adaptr: you mean to script the u/l of the tar, the extraction?
[01:13] <adaptr> PirateHead: just provide the info requested - OS versions, application versions, maybe hardware, and a *good* description of the problem
[01:13] <camerong> can anyone here help me set up flgrx for my monitor/graphics-card?
[01:13] <nekr0z> phixnay: http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb should give you a hint about 64bit systems.
[01:13] <caffiendo> graft: I have shell
[01:13] <PirateHead> jrib: I've never used alacarte, per se.
[01:13] <adaptr> caffiendo: yes, with scp you could do that in one line
[01:13] <graft> caffiendo: you have shell, but scp is disabled? that's dumb
[01:13] <camerong> the problem is im still using m(v?)esa drivers even though i disabled them i thought!
[01:13] <jrib> PirateHead: alacarte is the program that starts when you "edit menus"
[01:13] <Jed> nekr0z: do i need network connectivity to install?
[01:13] <adaptr> caffiendo: then you also have SSH, because if you host files on a web server that allows telnet access - run away NOW
[01:13] <PirateHead> jrib: ah, I see. How do I tell that program to rebuild my menus?
[01:13] <graft> caffiendo: complain to your sysadmin
[01:14] <MindFreek> Does anyone know how to disconnect someone who is connect to your VNC... I just want to boot them when they are finished... in GNOME
[01:14] <nekr0z> Jed: You'd better have it, but it is not necessary.
[01:14] <jrib> PirateHead: I mean this:  you delete the customizations that are currently present, then you open alacarte and edit your menus manually
[01:14] <phixnay> nekr0z - that's what I'm using right now
[01:14] <phixnay> those repos don't work
[01:14] <camerong> anyone here know how to disable mesa/vesa?
[01:15] <adaptr> camerong: mesa and vesa are two very (and I do mean *very*) different things.. with one gigantic exception: They both suck :)
[01:15] <graft> mesa is the best we have, tho
[01:15] <n2diy> When I connect to this box remotely via SSH/NFS, the remote box isn't picking up the file associations, but they are ok here. Ie. I have a text file called sig_file, if I double click it here, gedit opens it up, but the remote box says it doesn't know how to open it.
[01:15] <camerong> adaptr: heh.. well im talking about .. let me look
[01:15] <adaptr> camerong: and you don't disable them - you *enable* something better
[01:15] <PirateHead> jrib: can I run "rm -r $HOME/.config/menus" ?
[01:15] <camerong> adaptr: a fglrxinfo returns that im using MESA
[01:15] <nekr0z> phixnay: They say on that page, that there's no such thing as 64bit packages for wine. You have to build it from source.
[01:15] <caffiendo> adapter:graft: there is some error that came up on scp..  it said some that it was only allowed on rssh?
[01:15] <PirateHead> jrib: will that screw things up, or is that the cleanup of customizations that I want to do?
[01:15] <camerong> adaptr: i have since enabled fglrx. but they are still being used
[01:15] <adaptr> camerong: yes, Mesa is a software OpenGL implementation
[01:15] <Jed> nekr0z: my school uses 802.1x and i dont think the installer supports it :/
[01:16] <jrib> PirateHead: I *think* all the menu stuff ends up in ~/.local/share/applications/ .  So try deleting/moving that and seeing if alacarte will then let you add stuff
[01:16] <adaptr> camerong: then you do not have it enabled
[01:16] <caffiendo> adapter:graft: who is a good web hosting company?  I'm using 1and1.com
[01:16] <camerong> adaptr: i attempted to then.. can u tell me how to enable them?
[01:16] <jrib> PirateHead: I would mv instead of rm so you can always undo it
[01:16] <graft> caffiendo: that's offtopic, you're on your own, pretty much
[01:16] <adaptr> caffiendo: anyone who offers full SSH/SCP access, cgi and php scripting, mysql databases, and low costs
[01:16] <nekr0z> Jed: You may be wrong... But anyway, you can set it up later, after you have all working.
[01:17] <adaptr> camerong: fglrx-config ? or something ? I try to stay away from ATI :)
[01:17] <graft> camerong: why are you trying to install fglrx?
[01:17] <mstevens> Anyone know about running ubuntu on thinkpads? I'm finding suspend is sometimes working and sometimes not
[01:17] <camerong> adaptr: ok i will try that command
[01:17] <adaptr> !thinkpad
[01:17] <ubotwo> Sorry, I know nothing about that - try http://help.ubuntu.com/community/
[01:17] <caffiendo> Ok, well thanks alot!  much appreciated!
[01:17] <jrib> PirateHead: but that directory that you mentioned, ~/.config/menus/, looks like it is involved too
[01:17] <graft> camerong: if you ever do succeed in getting those libs installed, understand that it is a SERIOUS pain to undo the process
[01:17] <kingv> !codecs
[01:17] <camerong> graft: becuase my other alternative "radeon" is laggy and sucks and i cant do much with them
[01:17] <ubotwo> 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
[01:17] <graft> camerong: radeon works great here - i'm running beryl with it
[01:18] <camerong> graft: i try playing games or even looking at gif animations and it lags
[01:18] <phixnay> nekro0z- that's what my original question was: hi I'm trying to build wine from source, but I get an error during configure saying C compiler cannot create executables. Do I have to be root or something?
[01:18] <mstevens> I found some relevant sounding stuff on thinkwiki but it doesn't seem to help
[01:18] <adaptr> graft: so... do you have beryl 0.2 yet ?
[01:18] <camerong> graft: its not working too well fo rme
[01:18] <PirateHead> jrib: I moved each to a "-buggy" version of their previous locations
[01:18] <camerong> graft: i mean radeon drivers, by the way
[01:18] <graft> adaptr: um... the beta, yeah
[01:18] <adaptr> phixnay: no, but you do need the C build environment
[01:18] <PirateHead> jrib: I gotta get off, hopefully this will all pan out. I'll remember the name alacarte, I'll put in a bug report pretty soon.
[01:18] <idea> hope i'm not going to hose my install here, graft.. lots of dependencies..
[01:18] <phixnay> I have build essential
[01:18] <PirateHead> thanks for help, jrib and gma
[01:18] <nekr0z> phixnay: Sorry, I was not following from the very beginning...
[01:18] <adaptr> graft: beta ? Ubuntu just asked me if I wanted 0.2.0
[01:19] <stia1> phixnay: and you have write privileges?
[01:19] <phixnay> yes
[01:19] <adaptr> phixnay: and you also have linux-headers installed ?
[01:19] <nekr0z> phixnay: And you have headers, right?
[01:19] <phixnay> let me check
[01:19] <graft> adaptr: uh? hrm... i'm using beryl's ubuntu archive... could they actually be behind ubuntu itself? weird
[01:19] <jrib> phixnay: is binutils installed?
[01:20] <adaptr> graft: I'm using deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb edgy beryl-svn
[01:20] <phixnay> I have "linux-headers-2.6.17-10"
[01:20] <Trackilizer> hey everyone, i need your help
[01:20] <graft> adaptr: ah... subversion build is a bit too bleeding edge for me
[01:20] <adaptr> Trackilizer: you need *everyones* help ??!?
[01:21] <nekr0z> phixnay: And the same kernel version?
[01:21] <phixnay> and "linux-headers-2.6.17-10-generic
[01:21] <phixnay> Linux kernel headers for version 2.6.17 on x86/x86_64"
[01:21] <graft> adaptr: i'll stick with my semi-stable beta :P
[01:21] <adaptr> graft: och.. whenb it dies, I just go back to metacity :)
[01:21] <idea> graft: looking ugly.. evolution, gnome applets.. nautilus all going down the pan :(
[01:21] <graft> idea: pan?
[01:21] <phixnay> how do I find the kernel version
[01:21] <graft> phixnay: uname -a
[01:21] <n2diy> phixnay: uname -a
[01:21] <SubMOA> I'm reading on the ALSA wiki that (due to my kernel number) I don't have to download dmix, however, does Ubuntu not have it? because I can't play multiple sound files
[01:21] <graft> jynx, n2diy
[01:21] <idea> graft: being removed as dependencies.. hope i'm not royally screwing up :(
[01:22] <adaptr> phixnay: uname -r
[01:22] <nekr0z> phixnay: Here can be the problem: generic headers are not for 64bit kernel, as far as I know.
[01:22] <Trackilizer> when i still had dapper using an USB stick was no problem, it was a matter of pluging it in and waiting for the window to show up, since upgrading to edgy nothing happpens when i pulg the stick in
[01:22] <idea> gnome-session, gnome-control center..
[01:22] <graft> idea: being removed? for installing gnone-icon-theme?
[01:22] <idea> all disappearing as we speak :((
[01:22] <Trackilizer> is this a known problem, and if yes, how does one fix it?
[01:22] <n2diy> graft: ok!?
[01:22] <idea> graft: um. removing gnome-icon-theme
[01:22] <phixnay> Linux PHIX-64bit-Ubuntu 2.6.17-10-generic #2 SMP Tue Dec 5 21:16:35 UTC 2006 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[01:22] <humanspecies> later on
[01:22] <graft> idea: um, that's bad...
[01:22] <qid> I'm trying to follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo but network manager claims no network devices are found, even though the ipw2200 module is loaded and the regular networking window shows a wireless interface and both ipconfig and iwconfig show a wireless interface
[01:23] <nekr0z> phixnay: hmmm...
[01:23] <phixnay> so yes, same headers as kernel
[01:23] <idea> graft: i thought you said uninstall.. doh! can i fix this after it's done?
[01:23] <phixnay> I checked, and binutils are also installed
[01:23] <graft> idea: err... yeah, just install ubuntu-desktop again
[01:23] <idea> graft: the gnome-icon-theme was already installed
[01:23] <phixnay> i compiled a test.c and it worked
[01:23] <jrib> then your compiler can create executables :P
[01:24] <nekr0z> phixnay: Damn me if I see where the problem is.
[01:24] <idea> graft: k. thanks.
[01:24] <eyalw> quicktime with firefox, how?
[01:24] <adaptr> hot chicks with Ubuntu, when ?
[01:24] <phixnay> configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[01:24] <leobloo1> how can I watch real player and windows media video streams on ubuntu?
[01:24] <wastrel> "ubunto"
[01:24] <jrib> phixnay: find out what the configure script is doing
[01:24] <jrib> !restricted | leobloo1
[01:24] <graft> eyalw: just use that mozilla-mplayer dealy
[01:24] <ubotwo> leobloo1: 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
[01:24] <phixnay> all I did was type ./configure
[01:25] <nekr0z> Jed: Any luck by now?
[01:25] <jrib> phixnay: read the script and see what it does to conclude you can't create executables
[01:25] <adaptr> phixnay: what are you trying to build ? if it's a 32-bit app then you need 32-bit libraries, 32-bit DEV libraries, and 32-bit headers
[01:25] <GionnyBoss> anyone using BitTorrent here? I can't figure out why, with BitTorrent client included in Ubuntu Edgy installation, I can't download more than 1 torrent at a time... when I attempt to download the second one, an error message occours 'Couldn't listen on port (98, 'Already in use'). Can anybody help me? I guess that there should be a way to tell the program: "hey, you have to use a different port!" :P
[01:25] <graft> phixnay: yeah wine needs to be built 32-bit
[01:25] <Smirnov> how do you get different users logged in for different monitors?
[01:25] <adaptr> GionnyBoss: purrlease get a decent BT client :)
[01:25] <wastrel> hi, when I log out of gnome the screen goes black and i can't fix it except by rebooting the box.  using fglrx.  is there a way to fix this?
[01:25] <graft> GionnyBoss: yeah seriously
[01:26] <adaptr> Smirnov: different users on different monitors ? do they also have different keyboards and mice ?
[01:26] <GionnyBoss> which one do you suggest, guys?
[01:26] <MenZa> KTorrent is nice
[01:26] <MenZa> Azureus is a memory whore
[01:26] <adaptr> utorrent is king
[01:26] <MenZa> Torrent + wine = <3
[01:26] <phixnay> Great! What 32 libraries, dev libraries, and headers should I get?
[01:26] <GionnyBoss> I'm on Gnome... and I tryed Azureus but yeah, it's memory whore :P I will try utorrent
[01:26] <Smirnov> adaptr: yes
[01:26] <Smirnov> adaptr: yes to both actually
[01:27] <storeyzy_bio> i like azureus
[01:27] <Smirnov> adaptr: i want to use a keyboard/mouse for my right monitor, and synergy for my left monitor
[01:27] <adaptr> phixnay: what do you mean, "what libraries" ? all of them, of course - glibc, kernel, whatever else the app needs
[01:27] <GionnyBoss> I used uTorrent under Windows years ago... yeah it's good, but I don't like to use wine too much :P Ok guys, thanks for the help :)
[01:27] <gonzoism> i'm having a problem updating a computer with 'sudo update-manager'  it looks like its resolving the names to either localhost or <IP_ADDRESS>  and it gets connection refused.  anyone know why, or how to fix it ?
[01:27] <Smirnov> adaptr: right now im using synergy for my left monitor and the mouse and keyboard is shared across both. BUT its running under the same user
[01:27] <gonzoism> i like azureus too
[01:27] <bradley> i just restarted my computer and i have no sound. how would i fix this?
[01:27] <adaptr> Smirnov: then define the second screen as a second screen in xorg, and log in specifically to that screen
[01:27] <storeyzy_bio> azureus can ban individual ip
[01:27] <qid> I just want to be able to connect to either WPA or WEP networks without having to edit configuration files and start or stop daemons each time; is this possible under ubuntu?
[01:27] <gonzoism> bradley  alsamixer on the command line
[01:27] <phixnay> I have to run - sorry we couldn't get this fixed
[01:28] <nekr0z> qid: check network-manager
[01:28] <idea> qid: use radar i think it's called.. others will know more.
[01:28] <Smirnov> adaptr: that sounds simple..uhh... are there any tuts?
[01:28] <nekr0z> qid: network-manager-gnome, to be exact.
[01:28] <bradley> gonzoism, i have gnome alsamixer but nothing necessary appears to be muted.
[01:28] <gonzoism> bradley  if you are able to unmute or turn it up, then alsactl -store  (or something similiar) you can check out the man page for alsactl for exact command,  'man alsactl'
[01:28] <Smirnov> adaptr: i have them defined as two screens already in ym xorg
[01:29] <qid> nekr0z: it won't detect my wireless interface, even though every other utility I've tried detects it fine
[01:29] <gonzoism> bradley is it a laptop ?
[01:29] <bradley> gonzoism, yep.
[01:29] <adaptr> Smirnov: so one is :0 and the other is :1 ?
[01:29] <gonzoism> bradley.  is f8 the speaker key ?
[01:29] <nekr0z> qid: did you clead the interfaces config file?
[01:30] <adaptr> Smirnov: then you have to set an xinit for the other user to use the second screen, so X starts on :1 instead of :0
[01:30] <Smirnov> adaptr: hmm... uhh... i dont see any :0 or :1
[01:30] <n2diy> When I connect to this box remotely via SSH/NFS, the remote box isn't picking up the file associations, but they are ok here. Ie. I have a text file called sig_file, if I double click it here, gedit opens it up, but the remote box says it doesn't know how to open it.
[01:30] <gonzoism> anyone know about my update problem ?  why it would be resolving the update addresses to localhost or <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[01:30] <adaptr> Smirnov: you really need to if you want to run two real separate sessions
[01:30] <bradley> gonzoism, f8 is my wireless key. Fn esc is mute/unmute and Fn 1 and 2 are volume.
[01:31] <Smirnov> adaptr: how would i do that
[01:31] <gonzoism> bradley  mine was unmuted and it took me forever to figure that one out.  holding down the Fn key + the speaker key
[01:31] <gonzoism> bradley did that work ?
[01:31] <Vluid> hi all, whats the differnece between tetex and texlive?
[01:31] <qid> nekr0z: what about the interfaces config file?
[01:32] <steel_lady> hi, somebody has experience with latex compiling programs here?
[01:32] <adaptr> Smirnov: man startx, man Xorg - you can start by logging a second user in on a console and running startx -display :1, or similar
[01:32] <Smirnov> adaptr: erm, :-\
[01:32] <jrib> !ask | steel_lady
[01:32] <ubotwo> steel_lady: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:32] <nekr0z> It should only contain lo: for local loopback, and be otherwise clean.
[01:34] <bradley> gonzoism, no, i haven't got it yet.
[01:34] <gonzoism> bradley  has it worked before ?
[01:35] <nekr0z> qid: /etc/network/interfaces should only define "lo" and not "eth0" or "eth1" or whaterver else.
[01:35] <gonzoism> bradley, is pcm unmuted ?  is it turned up all the way too ?
[01:35] <qid> nekr0z: I removed any lines talking about eth1, the wireless interface. no effect.
[01:35] <bradley> yeah. it usually works. like 99%  of the time
[01:35] <qid> network-manager still insists I have no network devices
[01:35] <Vluid> steel_lady:
[01:35] <gonzoism> bradley try unmuting everything and then turning everything all the way up.

[01:36] <nekr0z> qid: did you restart the network-manager itself after removing all that devices?
[01:36] <bradley> gonzoism, yeah, i'll give that a try.
[01:36] <qid> nekr0z: by doing what? kill -HUP?
[01:36] <wastrel> When I log out of Gnome the screen turns black and I don't get back to the gdm login screen.  Using fglrx.  Is there a fix for this?
[01:36] <toulouse> beryl
[01:36] <toulouse> woops
[01:36] <arrenlex> wastrel: Does the same thing happen on a different driver?
[01:37] <steel_lady> Vluid, I am just trying to compile my file that compiled perfectly on my work machine but here it does not want to insert images saying they are too large but they are not
[01:37] <pluma> I'm getting a "shared object file not found" error when trying to run LiVES (although the file exists in /usr/lib). Wasn't there a tool you can use to find out where it is looking for the file?
[01:37] <wastrel> arrenlex:  i would have to log out to ttest that :[
[01:37] <nekr0z> qid: I usually did this by rebooting :) Don't know any other way, sorry.
[01:37] <mcquaid> how come network admin no longer requires sudo access?
[01:37] <mcquaid> it used to in dapper iirc
[01:37] <arrenlex> wastrel: Change the driver to "radeon" and then reboot, I guess.
[01:37] <gonzoism> bradley any luck ?
[01:38] <mcquaid> i don't like the idea that any user can muck with the network connections
[01:38] <arrenlex> wastrel: Or kill X with ctrlaltbksp
[01:38] <bradley> gonzoism, no i am going to restart and see if it magically fixes itself
[01:38] <bradley> gonzoism, thanks for the help.
[01:38] <Vluid> steel_lady: hm,  are you using texlive or tetex?
[01:38] <qid> ah, turning networking on and off (the little checkbox when you right-click) seems to have done the trick
[01:38] <nekr0z> qid: So here you go!
[01:39] <Jed> nekr0z: installed.. i can log in without problems but it freezes the same way when i log in
[01:39] <gonzoism> how can i find my upstream nameserver ?
[01:39] <steel_lady> Vluid I am using Kile to compile latex
[01:39] <Jed> nekr0z: how should i start figuring this out?
[01:39] <idea> graft: all reinstalled.. do i need to reboot x? or perhaps my icon theme for gnome could be changed?
[01:40] <pluma> An application complains about not finding a .so that is definitely installed. Any way to troubleshoot this?
[01:40] <steel_lady> Vluid, should I use another program, is it better?
[01:40] <StraightShooter> anyone else install the xorg-driver-fglrx package and end up with a whitewashed monitor output?
[01:40] <n2diy> When I connect to this box remotely via SSH/NFS, the remote box isn't picking up the file associations, but they are ok here. Ie. I have a text file called sig_file, if I double click it here, gedit opens it up, but the remote box says it doesn't know how to open it.
[01:40] <pluma> The version numbers are identical, so it's not just an outdated file problem
[01:41] <leobloo1> how can I install a .bin in ubuntu? i doubleclicked but noting happens
[01:41] <drstrangenorm> leoblool: perhaps you have to do a chmod +x <file> to make it executable
[01:41] <tonyyarusso> leobloo1: what is it?
[01:41] <nekr0z> Jed: Now you can log in to console (Ctrl+Alt+F1), and issue commands to the system. Try searching through ubuntuforums.org for your video card problems, and do what they say helps. I'll go and search for it myself too (after a cigarette).

[01:42] <thug> ls there any other way of making xmms default music player ?
[01:42] <drstrangenorm> leoblool: you can also do it by double clicking on the file and go to props, and click the allow executing file as program check box
[01:42] <idea> graft: might have located the issue: "The default theme schemas could not be found on your system.  This means that you probably don't have metacity installed, or that your gconf is configured incorrectly."
[01:42] <Morn\> I am sorry ubotwo
[01:42] <tonyyarusso> leobloo1: Yeah, chmod, then ./filename.bin (while in the directory) will run it.  Although, in Dapper I'm pretty sure there's a repos script for it, if you happen to be on that.
[01:42] <StraightShooter> thug, can you not do it thru the properties dialog?
[01:43] <idea> graft: have metacity installed.. what next?
[01:43] <jrib> thug: what happens when you try to select it there?  Does nothing show up?
[01:43] <leobloo1> it doesn't open =o/ i already tried doubleclicking, nothing happens

[01:43] <n2diy> ! automatix | drstrangenorm, leobloo1
[01:43] <ubotwo> drstrangenorm, leobloo1: automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[01:43] <Vluid> steel_lady: kile is an editor. is is an ui for latex. tetex or texlive compiles the tex source.
[01:43] <thug> jrib doesnt check the little box when i click on it

[01:47] <prurigro> in nautilus of course
[01:48] <steel_lady> vluid should I write somewhere kile dependencies or what?
[01:48] <Judicata> prurigro: what do you mean? do you mean what app will open it by default?
[01:48] <jrib> thug: because you don't have permissions on a lot of the stuff in your home.  What does this say:  ls -ld /home/thug/.{kde,qt,gnome,local}

Ignoring all the packaging chatter I see about doing this, doesn't Gems install itself "self-contained" in whatever directory you install it in?  If so, why wouldn't I just download and install Gems into desired directory and if I need to get rid of it, just copy out data a delete directory?  Or am I being a little simplistic in my understanding?"

[01:50] <n2diy> When I connect to this box remotely via SSH/NFS, the remote box isn't picking up the file associations, but they are ok here. Ie. I have a text file called sig_file, if I double click it here, gedit opens it up, but the remote box says it doesn't know how to open it.
[01:50] <Judicata> green-_:  I'd downoad it manually, or (if you're brave and you want to go against the official recommendations you can install automatix).
[01:50] <green-> oh was in here twice :)
[01:50] <Judicata> prurigro: I'll look into it, in the meanwhile, I hope someone else can help you.
[01:51] <jrib> thug: usually happens if you use sudo on a gui app, you should use gksudo (in gnome) or kdsu (in kde) for gui apps.  And that should be rare too
[01:51] <chiarato> the internet was fine than i had to reinstall ubuntu now I can't get online not even to update my system I have dual boot ubuntu and windows xp on the xp works fine but i can't get it working on my linux!

[01:51] <thug> jrib ok thanks
[01:51] <Vluid> steel_lady: no. look in synaptic what dependencies are shown for kile. there should be also the latex-version/disrtibution youre using.

[01:51] <prurigro> Judicata: no worries- I'll try to figure it out on my own, I'm sure you have your own things to attend to :) thx tho

[01:57] <Aggrav8d> is there a apache mod_cache for ubuntu?  I can't figure out how to install/config it.
[01:57] <Vluid> steel_lady: i think by default it uses tetex (it uses either tetex or texlive). try using texlive. i think ill change too. but i do not know whyy it does not compile cleanly (your first question). look in the tex-logs.

[02:00] <elg> the config is the same, with defaults for the new options
[02:01] <Aggrav8d> jrib - disk_cache, file_cache, mem_cache... I don't know which one is right for me :T
[02:01] <jrib> Aggrav8d: I have just "cache" too I have no idea what any of them are though
[02:02] <Vluid> steel_lady: that is what i also want to figure out. it seems (as i said) that texlive has more features since it is supported. but it is quite new so most of the apps depend on the older tetex.
[02:02] <Vluid> michael20la: i dont get you
[02:02] <green-> nope, didn't work to add backports either

[02:08] <green-> bad enough they keep me from running linux full time because of their refusal to make photoshop/illustrator/etc for linux ... now this.
[02:08] <green-> any info on how well the gnash player works?
[02:08] <superkirbyartist> 777's against my religion.
[02:08] <kvicksilv3r> kubuntu: man chmod    --   should help you out.
[02:09] <jrib> green-: I haven't tried it recently but I think they are aiming to get the features of flash7 only
[02:09] <n2diy> kubuntu: sudo chmod 777 /path/filename
[02:09] <idea> ok. still struggling with icons, themes and absence of default schemas? anyone got any ideas?
[02:09] <Judicata> running flash9 from backports just fine.
[02:09] <nekr0z> Jed: xserver-xorg-nvidia and xserver-xorg-video-nv, install via "sudo apt-get install <package>", put in xorg.conf to try.
[02:09] <kubuntu> thanks, n2diy , i did not put a space after chmod. ill do that now. thanks.

[02:10] <n2diy> When I connect to this box remotely via SSH/NFS, the remote box isn't picking up the file associations, but they are ok here. Ie. I have a text file called sig_file, if I double click it here, gedit opens it up, but the remote box says it doesn't know how to open it.
[02:10] <wastrel> Shizuo:  lsb and fhs (off the top of my head)  what standards are you interested in.
[02:10] <Judicata> green-: have you tried forcing the version in synaptic?
[02:10] <green-> idea: well, i still need photoshop, either way :)
[02:10] <green-> judicata: no, i haven't
[02:10] <Shizuo> wastrel: I was thinking about something more system-wide
[02:10] <Shizuo> wastrel: Like APIs and stuff

[02:11] <Jed> vesa worked :D
[02:11] <idea> shizuo: xara is *beyond* illustrator.

[02:13] <idea> shizuo: amateurish it ain't, though it's not as feature bloated as illustrator. sure.
[02:13] <Jed> nekr0z: first i have to get my network card up and running

[02:13] <Shizuo> idea: Apologists are always finding ways to make problems look like features

[02:14] <Judicata> green-: nope. if flash9 is broken, just uninstall it.
[02:14] <Shizuo> bowmann: wait
[02:14] <nekr0z> Jed: what kind of card?
[02:14] <bowmann> wait?
[02:14] <bowmann> how long
[02:14] <chiarato> phixnay: thanks man you're a life saver
[02:14] <Shizuo> bowmann: If that doesn't work, I would try another CD or distro
[02:14] <idea> shizuo: *laugh*.. i prefer that my apps *don't* run like treacle :)
[02:14] <green-> actually, flashplugin still doesn't come up in synaptic
[02:14] <chiarato> phixnay: what is the website!

[02:15] <Shizuo> bowmann: Laptops are difficult for Linux, as some stuff are not very well supported
[02:15] <kitche> snook353: well x11 has nothing to do with your /home

[02:15] <green-> yep
[02:15] <Judicata> green-: to pastebin, that is.

[02:15] <green-> yes, lemme find the url
[02:15] <Shizuo> bowmann: You can even try to read logs, by changing the current console, but that will only waste your time
[02:16] <craigbass1976> kitche,  "Package vim-full has no installation candidate"  it did say that vim-gnome is one of the replacements for it though.  I've insatlled that, but how do I know that's the vim I'm using?

[02:17] <idea> eek! eek! any way to fix broken themes/menu icons please?
[02:17] <n2diy> morpheus74: 6.06
[02:17] <bowmann> yes
[02:17] <Shizuo> bowmann: Install windows
[02:17] <jrib> craigbass1976: you choose the vim with:  sudo update-alternatives --config vim
[02:17] <idea> lol
[02:17] <Shizuo> bowmann: The original
[02:17] <Shizuo> bowmann: And then VMWare
[02:17] <Shizuo> bowmann: And Linux inside it.
[02:17] <elg> "waiting on root filesystem" or something like that in boot
[02:17] <Shizuo> bowmann: Better than spending hours fixing the obvious
[02:17] <pe3r> !gentoo
[02:17] <ubotwo> Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems)
[02:18] <bowmann> okay, I've just bought an old server and was thinking of putting linux on that instead
[02:18] <Shizuo> bowmann: Ubuntu works really fine inside VMWare
[02:18] <Shizuo> bowmann: How old?
[02:18] <bowmann> dual core p 3
[02:18] <morpheus74> When Ubuntu says it will support a version for a set amoutn of time, does support mean offering patches, etc?
[02:18] <kitche> morpheus74: yes
[02:18] <nekr0z> morpheus74: sure
[02:19] <Shizuo> bowmann: Then you don't need it in your laptop for that
[02:19] <Shizuo> bowmann: Try it inside VMWare
[02:19] <bowmann> okay
[02:19] <Judicata> green-: ok...it looks like it should be there.  Try hitting "reload" in synaptic, and searching for flashplugin again.
[02:19] <jrib> morpheus74: yeah, security updates
[02:19] <Shizuo> bowmann: VMWare Player is free
[02:19] <Shizuo> bowmann: And you can create Virtual Machines using EasyVMX (google it)
[02:20] <jrib> Judicata: he's on amd64
[02:20] <morpheus74> So when the next version of Ubuntu is released, those using 6.10 will have to update to the latest version to receive support?
[02:20] <craigbass1976> jrib, yep, I have universe.  The new vim was aldready made the new default.  Still no colors in my script.
[02:20] <Judicata> jrib: ahhh
[02:20] <n2diy> When I connect to this box remotely via SSH/NFS, the remote box isn't picking up the file associations, but they are ok here. Ie. I have a text file called sig_file, if I double click it here, gedit opens it up, but the remote box says it doesn't know how to open it.
[02:20] <qt> Can anyone tell me how to reslove undeclared UTS_RELEASE errors on ./config?
[02:20] <green-> gnash stinks
[02:20] <jrib> craigbass1976: :syntax on
[02:20] <green-> man this is lousy
[02:20] <Judicata> green-: can you not d/l it from the site and install it from the tar.gz?
[02:20] <nekr0z> morpheus74: No. Each version, except for LTS, has 1,5 years of support.
[02:21] <jrib> green-: use a 32bit firefox, that's probably the best option
[02:21] <green-> what a major disruption
[02:21] <phixnay> what does this mean?
[02:21] <phixnay> Set the library directories and the compiler environment.  LDFLAGS="-L/lib32 -L/usr/lib32 -Wl,-rpath,/lib32 -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib32" CC="gcc-3.4 -m32"
[02:21] <craigbass1976> jrib, You type that once you're in vi?  Eevery time, or just once?
[02:21] <green-> Judicata: nope, their installer doesn't work on AMD64
[02:21] <wastrel> hi i like vim
[02:21] <blanky> green-: what are you on about
[02:21] <jrib> craigbass1976: it's in my ~/.vimrc
[02:21] <green-> jrib: that's something i can do?
[02:21] <green-> blanky: not sure what you mean
[02:21] <jrib> green-: yes, it's on the page I linked you to before
[02:21] <morpheus74> nekr0z, Each version has 1 yr support, LTS has 5 yrs?
[02:22] <matt4magic> My system freze up when it sets system time, Ubuntu 5.1 + 6.10 and Debian gives the same result. BIOS is old (99). Any suggestions what to search for?
[02:22] <riotkittie> hi i hate vim
[02:22] <jrib> green-: someone else gave you a direct link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava
[02:22] <phixnay> yeah those firefox directions work
[02:22] <nekr0z> morpheus74: No. Each version 18 month. LTS - 3 years.
[02:23] <craigbass1976> jrib, I've got no such file, jsut viminfo, and that doesn't appear to be what I'm looking for, or is it?
[02:23] <jrib> craigbass1976: you can create it
[02:23] <Judicata> morpheus74: if you install one, you can always upgrade to another.
[02:23] <jrib> craigbass1976: it gets run everytime you start vim, you will slowly start filling it up :)
[02:23] <humblerodent> I'm trying to install my new D-Link DWL-G510 wireless card.  I know I've physically installed the card properly because one of the lights on it blinks every few seconds.  But 'lspci' doesn't show it, and installing it with ndiswrapper says "driver present" but not "hardware present".  Any ideas?  Thanks in advance
[02:23] <green-> jrib: missed it, thanks.
[02:23] <Judicata> morpheus74: you don't have to install something from srcratch to upgrade - its actually pretty easy to do.
[02:24] <nekr0z> morpheus74: LTS on servers - 5 years.
[02:24] <chiarato>  phixnay: sorry to bug you bro' but the site you gave me there's a whole bunch of stuff what should I do to make my linksys wusb54g to work???
[02:24] <morpheus74> Judicata, Oh, thanks for pointing that out.  What version are you using?
[02:24] <phixnay> let me take a look
[02:24] <idea> chiarato: try http://dd-wrt.com
[02:24] <idea> very nice firmware there.
[02:24] <nekr0z> morpheus74: 6.10 on laptop, 6.06 on server
[02:25] <idea> you might need the tiny version if your router is lacking ram.. sounds like it.
[02:25] <Judicata> morpheus74: I use edgy, but there really is not a big noticeable difference between Dapper (6.06) and Edgy (6.10).
[02:25] <stork> http://www.computerworld.com.au/index.php/id;261269498
[02:25] <kiamo> is anyone familiar with debootstrap?
[02:26] <cjavier> chiarato: forget about dd-wrt, that for acces point
[02:26] <blanky> what the heck guys? 150 mbs of updates just now
[02:26] <phixnay> chiarato: you're right, these instructions are old. Basically ndiswrapper lets you use the windows drivers from the cd on linux, and in this case it is the only way to make WUSB54G work
[02:26] <Judicata> morpheus74: There are a few quirks that some people experence with Edgy, so you might want to go with dapper. Or you could install edgy, and if that doesn't work trying dapper. Its just up to you.
[02:26] <chiarato> idea: the site didn't work
[02:26] <jrib> kiamo: you're more likely to get help if you just assume someone might be and ask the next question
[02:26] <kiamo> hehe k, thanks jrib
[02:26] <_james> i need help how can i auto-reconnect my internet connection on disconnection.. im using speedtouch silver modem on PPPoE. help anyone?
[02:26] <morpheus74> The only issue I ran into running Dapper Live was it could not detect my wireless card (Linksys).  Do you think Edge might fix this?
[02:26] <cjavier> chiarato: and I have a wusb54g and it works out-of-the-box
[02:26] <idea> chairato: google for ddwrt.. might be http://ddwrt.com
[02:27] <Judicata> morpheus74: I don't think so - you can get it working under either though, I imagine. Do you have a wired connection that works?
[02:27] <phixnay> chairato: start from the "2 - Install NDISWrapper" part http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/Ubuntu#2_-_Install_NDISWrapper
[02:27] <kiamo> when im trying to build a 32bit chroot with debootstrap and whether i choose edgy, or breezy or dapper etc it never seems to work
[02:27] <nekr0z> morpheus74: It could. And you can also fix it after a little forum search, that's for sure.
[02:27] <kiamo> the command im typing is :
[02:28] <kiamo> sudo debootstrap --variant=buildd --arch i386 edgy /var/chroot/ http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
[02:28] <morpheus74> Judicata, Yes, I have a wired connection that works, just would like the ability to use with out being wired.
[02:28] <kitche> !chroot
[02:28] <ubotwo> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box
[02:28] <facenew> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wycd-n7RsA&feature=PlayList&p=EE52D9ED01495685&index=0&playnext=1
[02:28] <Judicata> morpheus74: like nek0z said - I wouldn't worry about that - I'm sure you can get the wireless card working under either one.
[02:28] <phixnay> chiarato: in the instructions they have sample driver names, but make sure you use the acutal driver name when you do it, like WUSB54G.inf or something
[02:28] <_james> i need help how can i auto-reconnect my internet connection on disconnection.. im using speedtouch silver modem on PPPoE. help anyone?
[02:28] <kitche> kiamo: you following those instructions correct?
[02:28] <kiamo> yup
[02:29] <kiamo> but its not working
[02:29] <kiamo> at least
[02:29] <kiamo> i dont believe it is
[02:29] <morpheus74> Alright, I'm off to pour some coffee and start.  One last question, on a duel boot with XP, I should install XP first, right?
[02:29] <nekr0z> morpheus74: Then you'll definitely fix you wireless card in a couple of minutes.
[02:29] <kiamo> kitche, and if i ignore this step and continue on it fails to install firefox 32bit in the enviroment
[02:29] <nekr0z> morpheus74: Yes. Absolutely.
[02:30] <Judicata> morpheus74: Yes. If you want to use XP.
[02:30] <VanessaE> could someone tell me just exactly how to configure nbd-server?  (since NFS is broken, I figured I'd try coda)

[02:32] <humblerodent> sorry, back.
[02:32] <cod> question: does ubuntu for 64 bits processor works well to with 32bits software ?

[02:34] <HOMER> hi, my domain is run in home pc. how config bind9 ??
[02:35] <blueprints88888> phixnay ah, i c. sorry i wish i could help out more but im still a learning linux and ubuntu myself,
[02:35] <kiamo> please can someone tell my why this cmd doesnt work:  sudo debootstrap --variant=buildd --arch i386 edgy /var/chroot/ http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
[02:35] <kitche> HOMER: I would look for bind examples it's easier to look at those instead of someone explaining it
[02:35] <livingtm> I think the edgy install failed because i made a separate boot partition.. but it failed silently and rebooted
[02:35] <livingtm> as if everything went ok
[02:36] <VanessaE> and btw I'd use samba, which works, but it's too slow (5MB/sec down and maybe 3MB/sec up, over 10/100 link)
[02:36] <HOMER> examples link ?
[02:37] <kitche> HOMER: crashrecovery.org/bind9.html
[02:37] <phixnay> how do I do this?
[02:37] <phixnay> I edited the dlls/gdi32/Makefile file to point to the 32-bit libraries.  I replaced
[02:37] <phixnay> EXTRALIBS = /usr/lib/libsicuuc.a /usr/lib/libsicudata.a -lstdc++ -lgcc_s
[02:37] <phixnay> with

[02:43] <_james> is it ok to upgrade to edgy using the update manager?
[02:43] <kiamo> if im setting up a 32 bit enviroment
[02:43] <kitche> _james: yes
[02:43] <_james> kitche: how about apt-get?
[02:43] <kiamo> when ever i run something in it, is linux going to be running a 64bit AND 32bit copies of the os at the same time?
[02:44] <kitche> _james: depends sometimes it's safe other times you might get breakages
[02:44] <livingtm> when i run "grub-install /dev/sda1" it tells me "Could noit find device for /boot. Not found or not a block device"
[02:44] <kitche> kiamo: not exactly
[02:44] <_james> kitche: ok so what do you prefer to use? update manager or apt-get?
[02:44] <Smirnov> how do you startx for a different X server, i arleady have two ServerLayouts in my Xorg.conf ?
[02:45] <kitche> _james: I use aptitude myself
[02:45] <kiamo> is it to my advantage to run x64 ubuntu and do this debootstrap thing to run 32bit stuff?
[02:45] <kiamo> all problems to get it running aside ;)
[02:46] <kitche> kiamo: well it depends really but probably I have my own chroot that I use myself used for testing and such

[02:48] <Smirnov> ok
[02:48] <Smirnov> i edited my gdm.conf to have 2 X servers

[02:57] <kitche> darkempress: well you deletec /dev/hdc
[02:57] <phixnay> knol_n00b: well if it doesn't give you a bad command output, then I guess it's dead
[02:58] <kitche> _james: you might be able to use source-o-matic
[02:58] <_james> kitche: how?
[02:58] <darkempress> kitche, /dev/hdc was pointing to a flashcard reader
[02:58] <phixnay> knol_n00b: try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg that sometimes works
[02:58] <kitche> !sourceomatic
[02:58] <ubotwo> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[02:58] <knol_n00b> do i just type that at the command line when it dies
[02:58] <ome248> Im using a usb mouse and I cant see the mouse cursor although its working. Any idea how to make the mouse arrow visable?
[02:58] <phixnay> are you at the command line now?
[02:59] <kitche> darkempress: I would see what your /etc/fstab looks like but I bet /dev/hdc pointed to /media/cdrom
[02:59] <livingtm> damn i can NOT get grub to install
[02:59] <livingtm> it seems to be having trouble wiht my sata drive
[02:59] <kiamo> whats the cmd for look up that number you use with the Kill cmd

[03:00] <n2diy> When I connect to this box remotely via SSH/NFS, the remote box isn't picking up the file associations, but they are ok here. Ie. I have a text file called sig_file, if I double click it here, gedit opens it up, but the remote box says it doesn't know how to open it.

[03:00] <wazzu> Does anyone know where the frame buffer for virtual consoles are configured in Dapper?  Can the frame buffer resolution be reset with the fbset utility?
[03:01] <chiarato> phixnay: I install the driver using ndiswrapper -i drive.inf then ndiswrapper -l then I get driver invalid and that driver is the one that came with the adapter??
[03:01] <darkempress> kitche, i had a douplicate entry for /dev/hdc >.> one of them was the cdrom, the other was the flash card reader :O
[03:01] <kitche> wazzu: it's usually done with grub menu.lst at least how mine is setup
[03:01] <tacticalcron> Evenin' all..
[03:01] <_james> is there a new version feisty? is it out now?
[03:01] <Smirnov> `hey can anyone help me configure my 2 monitors to run separate X servers.. i tweaked Xorg.conf and gdm.conf but now i'm getting a problem starting the X server on my 2nd monitor
[03:01] <kitche> _james: #ubuntu+1 has all information for that
[03:02] <phixnay> chiarato: are you sure that is the only driver that came on the cd? I remember there being at least two.
[03:02] <wazzu> Thanks Kitche.
[03:03] <chiarato> phixnay: my is v4 theres also v1 and v2 should I try to install them?
[03:03] <phixnay> chiarato: no, v4 is a different chipset than v1 and v2, so the other two won't work
[03:04] <chiarato> phixnay: I only copyed the .inf file when I installed
[03:04] <phixnay> wait, does your adapter say WUSB54Gv4 on the bottom

[03:04] <juliob> livingtm: i just installed grub on both /sda and my /sda8 (which is my /boot).  no problem with sata here
[03:05] <flk> i am running off a liveCD and i noticed that on the from people mentioning that you can chroot into the hdd environment
[03:05] <phixnay> chiarato: then that's definitely the driver you should use. I had the same kind of problem with the invalid driver, but I finally got it to work somehow
[03:05] <flk> how i can do that ? i have already mounted the hdd
[03:05] <livingtm> I just did grub, root (hd0,0) setup (hd0) and it appeared to go ok. but when i reboot it just hangs
[03:05] <chiarato> phixnay: the odd thing is that the first time I installed ubuntu i got my connection automatically now it just won't work!
[03:05] <livingtm> by hangs io mean it scans the cdrom, scans the HD, then sits there with a black screen
[03:06] <leaosouto> help-me please!
[03:06] <phixnay> chiarato: that's pretty cool. I don't know how that happened, because I thought ndiswrapper was the only way to install that adapter
[03:07] <kitche> flk: chroot /dev/<dev/ /bin/bash
[03:07] <phixnay> this is getting over my head pretty fast : |
