[12:01] <lemur> Cntryboy: sorry about your slow dialup.  Maybe you should make friends with someone in the area who has a faster connection. ;)  Join an LUG or hang out with IT people
[12:01] <Dr_Willis> element,  stick with the good brand names.
[12:01] <Kibou> what's a "high-end" dvd burner?
[12:01] <kordokuvas> there's no dc++ and how to download it and run eith synap when it's everywhere written i have to go to some directories and compile some sourse
[12:01] <Dr_Willis> element,  ive had great luck with plextor.
[12:01] <lemur> or get a wireless rig and leech a hotspot. In the name of GNU!
[12:01] <LjL> a dvd burner placed on the roof
[12:01] <element> Dr_Willis, SATA or IDE?
[12:01] <mwe> element: About all burners work with linux
[12:01] <Jack_Sparrow> technel: I will walk you through that if you need..
[12:01] <LjL> kordokuvas: wha?
[12:01] <Dr_Willis> element,  im all ide
[12:01] <Cntryboy> lemur: 5 min away they have it, but don't know too many ppl here because i just moved here a year ago..
[12:01] <frying_fish> kordokuvas: there is dc++
[12:01] <LjL> kordokuvas: you don't have to compile nothin' from source
[12:02] <Dr_Willis> kordokuvas,   Tip #5 - when asking a question, dont be vague and rambling.
[12:02] <element> Dr_Willis, ah, I went SATA-II for my new system, so I have 2 320gb drives sitting here...waiting to order the rest of the hardware now.
[12:02] <kordokuvas> u call this inteligent OS when u need to spend hours and came out with still nothing,can't even install a single program
[12:02] <Dr_Willis> element,  ive not even seen a sata cdrom yet

[12:02] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[12:02] <frying_fish> it is either known as dcpp or, if you want something else try valknut
[12:02] <lemur> kordokuvas: there is a DC++ client for linux.  If it's not in the repositories, you will have to install it manually.   Many operating systems use Linux as kernel. For more information on Linux in general, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux

[12:03] <kordokuvas> then u say people should use Linux
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> element,  im not one to ask for that. id say google
[12:03] <redguy> kordokuvas, read the guide I told you about
[12:03] <frying_fish> that is the linuxdc++ client the "official" one anyway.
[12:03] <kordokuvas> yeah,right

[12:04] <eromero> hi there :) hey any1 knows how do i tell ubuntu not to load certain modules at boot?
[12:04] <Dr_Willis> eromero,  there is a blacklist file in /etc/hotplug.d/ I think :P
[12:04] <frying_fish> eromero: add them to /etc/blacklist
[12:04] <Cntryboy> lemur: let me try this sudo chmod 777 /var/cache/apt/archives
[12:05] <Cntryboy> last resort I guess
[12:05] <kordokuvas> avery1 is telling me different thing
[12:05] <frying_fish> Dr_Willis: I don't think hotplug is with dapper (so if they are using that it won't work)
[12:05] <LjL> kordokuvas: that's because there is more than one way to do the same thing.
[12:05] <kordokuvas> completly lose any idea of what to do
[12:05] <ompaul> kordokuvas, there are many ways to do a job
[12:05] <eromero> where's the file that tells ubuntu which modules to load?
[12:05] <Dr_Willis> frying_fish,  that explains why i cant find it on this box now! :P but its on my other box! lol
[12:05] <lemur> Cntryboy: that will give everyone read/write/list access to that directory.  Since you arleady have read access, you perfectly covered.  I think the problem here is with the destination
[12:06] <frying_fish> Dr_Willis: yeah, dapper uses udev not hotplug
[12:06] <Dr_Willis> frying_fish,  im soo confused. :) lol
[12:06] <frying_fish> :)
[12:06] <Dr_Willis> my old file server is like running... breezy or warty :P its so old.
[12:06] <lemur> Dr_Willis: it's not THAT old :)
[12:06] <frying_fish> lol
[12:06] <hyphenated> eromero: the man pages for 'modprobe.conf' and 'depmod' will explain it better than people on IRC can
[12:06] <abo> is there a way to print to a file ?
[12:07] <LjL> kordokuvas: perhaps it would help if you stopped whining and just listened, and asked the *relevant* questions. anyway, 1) follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and enable the Universe repository, which contains a few Direct Connect clients   2) install one of them (possibly the one called "dcgui") using Synaptic, as clearly explained by https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SynapticHowto
[12:07] <technel> Jack_Sparrow, It works, thanks :)
[12:07] <Dr_Willis> abo,  configure your printer.. and print away
[12:07] <lemur> I remember when there was no such thing as ubuntu
[12:07] <Jack_Sparrow> No Problem technel
[12:07] <VoytekG> Hi everyone. I have a hard drive partition that I just reformatted to FAT32 file system (it was NTFS before) and now Ubuntu can't see any of the files on there, while Windows can. Can anyone help or give advice?
[12:07] <charle97> what is this ubuntu?
[12:07] <Seveas> LjL, too bad you wasted so much effort, he 'left'
[12:07] <eromero> hyphenated: thanks
[12:07] <eromero> let's see...
[12:07] <abo> Dr_Willis, I need to print to a file ... a PS or PDF file
[12:07] <Dr_Willis> VoytekG,  check the fstab entry
[12:07] <Cntryboy> lemur: sorry bro I found out why, it was a lock file that it was trying to skip
[12:08] <LjL> Seveas: i noticed, yep... but at any rated it'd still have been wasted even if he was still here >:
[12:08] <Cntryboy> lemur: i didn't need it so Im all good I think
[12:08] <technel> One question though: What are those things called that allow you to click on it and go to another folder? (Equivelant of a Windows shortcut) Like symbols or something?
[12:08] <VoytekG> Dr_Willis- will do, thanks.
[12:08] <Jack_Sparrow> VoytekG: How did you change the Partition format..
[12:08] <ompaul> LjL, sharp observation
[12:08] <redguy> technel, symbolic links
[12:08] <lemur> Cntryboy: yeah, the lock file is not readable, but that is just for the program's use..you won't need it
[12:08] <technel> redguy, Ah, thanks
[12:08] <lemur> Cntryboy: :)
[12:08] <redguy> technel, np :-)
[12:08] <charle97> voytekg, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountwindows
[12:08] <VoytekG> Jack_Sparrow - I did it in Windows, using My Computer / manage Drives.
[12:08] <Cntryboy> lemur: yah I didn't know that :) yay
[12:09] <codecaine> I don't know what happen now when I login to ubuntu gui gnome my sound sounds bag and seems to dragout anybody know what could cause that?
[12:09] <lemur> man, I wish linux weren't regarded as an alternative to windows :(
[12:09] <Fatal`> why :(
[12:09] <kordokuvas> why did u kick me?
[12:09] <lemur> to stop people from comparing them
[12:09] <Seveas> LjL, so true
[12:09] <codecaine> lol
[12:09] <xenoborg> lol
[12:09] <Seveas> kordokuvas, for being obnoxious in a support channel
[12:09] <Fatal`> wtf...what do you want to compare linux to?
[12:09] <Fatal`> hehe
[12:10] <Seveas> let that be a warning, next time it's a ban
[12:10] <VoytekG> charle 97 - i will check that out too. this isn't the Windows partition, though, it's a third partition meant to act as a place to store files. i will look at all these options, though and will be back. thank you!
[12:10] <reemusk> i can't figure out how to install flash. where do i extract the files to in firefox?
[12:10] <lemur> Fatal`: to unix ;)
[12:10] <Fatal`> lmao
[12:10] <codecaine> man wonder what happen to my login sound :P
[12:10] <Fatal`> my only comparison, being a lifetime winodws user, is windows!

[12:10] <kordokuvas> what does it mean
[12:10] <Cntryboy> going to get off here and get this install done
[12:11] <Cntryboy> :)
[12:11] <lemur> I used to use DOS back in the day... had to be dragged kicking and screaming to windows when that got popular
[12:11] <lemur> Cntryboy: have fun
[12:11] <redguy> reemusk, read the wiki links ubotu gave you
[12:11] <Seveas> kordokuvas, mostly annoying
[12:11] <Cntryboy> tc
[12:11] <xenoborg> why don't you use the flash plugin in the multiverse repository
[12:11] <Fatal`> hehe, i won't ever use windows if i can just get ubuntu stable
[12:11] <lemur> maybe kordokuvas could use a second chance..  let's not get too hard on his case lest he become bitter
[12:11] <Fatal`> till then...dual boot
[12:12] <Zaire> how do you view the history on Konqueror?
[12:12] <kordokuvas> annoying-another word i dont no,maybe when i go back to windows will see it in the dictionary
[12:12] <lemur> Fatal`: sorry... we've all been there :)
[12:12] <Fatal`> hehe
[12:12] <skavenge> www.dict.org look it up
[12:12] <LjL> kordokuvas: you have a dictionary in Ubuntu
[12:12] <xenoborg> goto dict.leo.org
[12:12] <lemur> Zaire: a story of intrigue and revenge
[12:12] <Zaire> ?
[12:12] <lemur> sorry, bad pun
[12:12] <gnomefreak> kordokuvas: please dont troll in here
[12:12] <codecaine> how do I make sure I have alsa for my main sound?
[12:13] <Zaire> I seriously have no idea how to view the history on konqueror
[12:13] <kordokuvas> well,i dont,and i wont ask,there's no point,and i need to see what does it mean in bulgarian
[12:13] <LjL> Zaire: F9
[12:13] <lemur> Zaire: there should be a side pain that will expand on the left.  I don't know if you have it or not
[12:13] <ba5e> does anyone know if its possible to get a windows xp corp key that is multi language?
[12:13] <Zaire> ah thanks got it now lol
[12:13] <gnomefreak> kordokuvas: join #ubuntu-offtopic for that topic
[12:13] <ba5e> shit sorry wrong room!
[12:14] <LjL> kordokuvas: ,
[12:14] <lemur> ba5e: you are forgiven
[12:14] <Zaire> I had no idea cause I use firefox mainly but needed the history from the other
[12:14] <ba5e> didnt mean to ask that
[12:14] <Seveas> bye bye cracker
[12:14] <moparfan90> hello. im and trying to get vmware to work and when i try to start it i get "vmware is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configuredfor this system. To (re-)configure it, invoke the following command:/  usr/bin/vmware-config.pl."
[12:14] <xenoborg> assiduity
[12:14] <gnomefreak> Seveas: ;)
[12:14] <moparfan90> and i configured it  times and nothing
[12:14] <amortvigil> how cani switch files from /var/www/ to /media/htdocs?
[12:14] <kordokuvas> how did u do it with the bulgarian?
[12:14] <Seveas> amortvigil, edit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default
[12:15] <skavenge> theres about 100 translating webpages
[12:15] <LjL> kordokuvas: i typed "bulgarian dictionary" into google, and a site called http://sa.dir.bg/ showed up, and i used it. then i copied&pasted
[12:15] <Eazy->  I have to deactivate and activate my network in kcontrol after every reboot to get online...anyone have a clue what might be wrong? I know I should probably be asking in #kubuntu, but noone seems to know there :P
[12:15] <lemur> where would we be without google
[12:15] <lemur> Eazy-: are you using dhcp?
[12:15] <LjL> lemur: at a far place called AltaVista
[12:15] <Eazy-> yes
[12:16] <lemur> LjL: I still remember that place!
[12:16] <Zaire> dude wth was with the mass ban remove?
[12:16] <DonL> hi
[12:16] <VoytekG> Hey, to everyone to gave me advice. Thanks -- my partition is back. I edited the fstab file (it was the first thing I tried) and it works. Thanks again!
[12:16] <Eazy-> tried with static IP but it didnt work either
[12:16] <LjL> Eazy-: do you have "resolvconf" installed?
[12:16] <Eazy-> duno
[12:16] <Seveas> Zaire, op on power trip
[12:16] <LjL> Eazy-: type "apt-cache policy resolvconf | grep Installed"
[12:16] <lemur> Eazy-: I had an issuse with my static IP configuration where ubuntu's graphical config would not properly store the nameserver info.  This may make it seem like you don't have a connection
[12:16] <HartNot> does anyone use swiftfox here?
[12:16] <Zaire> ah ic shouldn't have op in that case
[12:16] <Fatal`> alright...i think im going to migrate on over to ubuntu...what's ctrl-alt-f2 do again?
[12:17] <Eazy-> I see i dont have it installed
[12:17] <Seveas> Zaire, well, ompaul is the friendliest op we have actually ;)
[12:17] <gnomefreak> lol
[12:17] <Zaire> lol
[12:17] <LjL> Fatal`: switches your virtual terminal, like all ctrl+alt+fX keys
[12:17] <ompaul> Zaire, if it was mass ban I might concur
[12:17] <Eazy-> so it should be enough to install resolvconf?
[12:17] <LjL> Fatal`: F7 is generally your X terminal
[12:17] <lemur> Eazy-: one would hope
[12:17] <LjL> Eazy-: no
[12:17] <LjL> Eazy-: i had a similar problem, and it turned out that resolvconf was *causing* that problem
[12:18] <Eazy-> hehe
[12:18] <derek> I just got Linux!!!!!!1
[12:18] <derek> YEPPEEEEEEEEEE!
[12:18] <Zaire> just a little iffy since recent events I read about on digg that happened on freenode lol
[12:18] <Seveas> derek, welcome to the dark side of the force

[12:18] <derek> mwhahaha
[12:18] <lemur> I had the same problem as LjL...I had to manually add my nameserver in the resolveconf config files
[12:18] <derek> Yeah to bad windows is gone, so i have no choice
[12:18] <lemur> otherwise it would not stay
[12:18] <ompaul> Zaire, ehh, that would be bans
[12:18] <ompaul> Zaire, I have another 20 or so before I go to bed
[12:19] <Eazy-> ok, I got some hints now anyway :)
[12:19] <Eazy-> thanx!
[12:19] <LjL> lemur: i simply removed resolvconf, and then the KDE settings magically worked again
[12:19] <derek> YEah so some geeky kid gave me the disk
[12:19] <zim> I LOVE xlg it rocks
[12:19] <lemur> I'm surprised this resolveconf problem exists in ubuntu LTS, and that it hasn't been patched
[12:19] <lemur> I guess I could try uninstalling it to, but I already configured it manually :)
[12:19] <lemur> all that work put to waste
[12:19] <Eazy-> I'll try to installe it first :)
[12:19] <ompaul> derek, #ubuntu is a support channel, join the chatter in #ubuntu-offtopic thanks :-)
[12:19] <LjL> lemur: well, in the responses to my bug report, i have been assured that resolvconf was *not* installed automatically as a part of kubuntu
[12:20] <LjL> lemur: on the other hand, i don't recall installing it, and i don't see what could have installed it. but anyway
[12:20] <cheeseman557> im getting this error while installing ubuntu: a buffer i/o error on device sr0, logical block <some number>. anyone know what to do?
[12:20] <derek> Does anyone know any burning software for Ubuntu?
[12:20] <zim> can i set a diff background on each desktop
[12:20] <Jack_Sparrow> !backup
[12:20] <ubotu> I know nothing about backup
[12:20] <Eazy-> I have a fresh install of Kubuntu and its not installed
[12:21] <reemusk> it says to install the package flashplugin-nonfree
[12:21] <ompaul> derek, gnomebaker or if you have an iso on your desktop just right click on it
[12:21] <reemusk> i don't see that package in synaptic
[12:21] <LjL> derek: k3b, but it's for KDE
[12:21] <gnomefreak> derek: there are alot gnomebaker, k3b, nautilus-burner

[12:21] <gnomefreak> LjL: still runs in gnome ;)
[12:21] <Jack_Sparrow> LjL: K3b works fine in Ubuntu
[12:21] <lemur> LjL: I have been using ubuntu...  I did have kubuntu-desktop installed but later removed it
[12:22] <DonL> I like K3b too
[12:22] <lemur> I should have paid better attention to how the installs went
[12:22] <zim> is there a way to have a diff background image on each desktop ???
[12:22] <zim> gnome
[12:22] <LjL> gnomefreak, Jack_Sparrow: and? gnomebaker runs fine in kubuntu (i suppose), but i'm still not going to use it. perhaps someone else would, but i still do find it polite to warn people when a program i'm telling them about is for another environment than the one they're using.
[12:22] <redguy> reemusk, flashplugin-nonfree is in multiverse repository
[12:22] <gnomefreak> LjL: yes
[12:22] <nbjayme> hello everybody,  is there already a solution to the "Failed to Intialize HAL!", i have placed the smbfs mount in rc.local and i still have the errors... please help..
[12:23] <gnomefreak> LjL: when you isntall them they install the libraries they need to run if you install k3b without kubuntu its still gonna install libqt3-mt
[12:23] <derek> I have to say this...Windows must burn
[12:23] <lemur> k3b is a part of KDE, but it is not necessarily "for" it in the sense that you can't use it all by itself in any other graphical environment.  It fits in with gnome just fine
[12:23] <LjL> gnomefreak: i know that
[12:23] <Jack_Sparrow> LjL: We always prefer an informed user. But saying that is a KDE app implies it will not run on Ubuntu
[12:23] <zim> derek have you installed xgl ???
[12:23] <LjL> lemur: except you'll have to install the KDE libraries -- actually, they'll get installed automatically, but anyway
[12:23] <goubuntu> !offtopic
[12:23] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[12:24] <DonL> Yes. I'm a big fan of Gnome, but K3b installed with just the necessary kde libraries and no more. Works like a charm
[12:24] <derek> Thanks for the DVD burning software guys
[12:24] <brian__> hey, how do you find your machine's IP address in ubuntu?
[12:24] <lemur> LjL: yeah, that's true...  it'll take up some disk space and sit on more memory when you load it, but all in all it's not such a bad deal
[12:24] <codecaine> when I play  movies and stuff the sound is off
[12:24] <codecaine> how can I fix that even when loading in windowsw
[12:24] <codecaine> I mean ubuntu
[12:24] <codecaine> lol
[12:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Blasphemy
[12:24] <HartNot> gasp
[12:24] <derek> Brain__ I usually use www.whatismyip.com
[12:25] <zim> can anyone tell me how i can have a diff background image on each of my 4 desktops in gnome
[12:25] <gnomefreak> brian__: ifconfig
[12:25] <lemur> I use my handy dandy router with dyndns..  never haver to worry what my ip is anymore ^_^
[12:25] <brian__> ipconfig you mean?  in the terminal?
[12:25] <HartNot> does anyone know how to install the mplayer plugin for swiftfox
[12:26] <lemur> HartNot: does swiftfox read /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins?
[12:26] <Eazy-> Installed resolveconf...now it works...lets see for how long :)
[12:26] <derek> I'm new to Linux, I download things but it goes into a archive thingy, and i cant install it. why?
[12:26] <zim> brian is a windoze boy ifconfig
[12:27] <brian__> ok
[12:27] <useename> derek you probably want to use Synaptic to install things
[12:27] <gnomefreak> derek: because you choose it to open with that instead of downloading to a dir
[12:27] <dreamcatcher5172> does anyone have a good fps or rpg game running on ubuntu right now? I just need to pointed to the right direction in terms of the popular games that everyone likes
[12:27] <lemur> HartNot: if it does, then I imagine that the mplayer-mozilla package in multiverse will work like a charm
[12:27] <HartNot> lemur, I'm not sure, how do I check that?
[12:27] <brian__> aha, got it, thanks zim
[12:27] <lemur> HartNot: to be honest, I'm not sure how you check it..  but that's where firefox loads its plugins from
[12:27] <reemusk> okay
[12:27] <zim> brian are you using wireless
[12:28] <reemusk> i added the repositiories and reloaded
[12:28] <reemusk> i still don't see flash-nonfree
[12:28] <lemur> reemusk: I just let flash install firefox automatically for me
[12:28] <derek> The archive manager is the only thing I can choose....
[12:29] <derek> I cant pick anything else
[12:29] <reemusk> leemur : i tried that but it said ti failed
[12:29] <lemur> reemusk: how odd
[12:29] <lemur> reemusk: what architecture are you running?
[12:29] <reemusk> leemur: very!

[12:32] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[12:32] <gnomefreak> reemusk: ^^^
[12:32] <reemusk> oh!
[12:32] <reemusk> gnome: i've already acivated those and reloaded
[12:32] <gnomefreak> reemusk: than paste your /etc/apt/sources.list file to pastebin so i can look at it
[12:33] <reemusk> gnome: how do i display it
[12:33] <vbgunz> how do I find out my public ip address through Ubuntu? ifconfig, does not tell me what the public address is :(
[12:33] <gnomefreak> !pastebin
[12:33] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[12:33] <gnomefreak> reemusk: ^^ open that linka nd paste the file cont4ents there
[12:34] <reemusk> gnome: i knew that, how do i display the file contents, or do i just find the file?
[12:34] <gnomefreak> reemusk: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:35] <reemusk> gnome: at pastebin now
[12:35] <DonL> HartNot, can
[12:36] <Aviatrixie> good evening from cloudy southwest Pennsylvania USA  :)

[12:36] <lemur> Aviatrixie: good afternoon from hot and sunny southern California
[12:36] <reemusk> gnome: should it always take this long to load the page AFTER I paste the information? it's just sitting here with the java box
[12:36] <Jack_Sparrow> lemur: San Diego here
[12:36] <amortvigil> hwo do you remove useres in console
[12:36] <Jack_Sparrow> reemusk: Sometimes it lags

[12:37] <reemusk> jack: preesh :)
[12:37] <ompaul> !ontopic
[12:37] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[12:37] <Jack_Sparrow> ALways good where I live...
[12:37] <reemusk> gnome: still waiting
[12:38] <Aviatrixie> <--- happens to like gnome... bunches
[12:38] <cheeseman557> anyone know what this error means: buffer I/O on device sr0, logical block 25527?
[12:39] <vbgunz> anyone know if Ubuntu can give me my public ip address? ifconfig doesn't seem to give it to me
[12:39] <Aviatrixie> but then it reminds me of my old but beloved powerbook
[12:39] <Jack_Sparrow> cheeseman557:  Accessing a usb removeable drive?
[12:39] <cheeseman557> no just my hard drive
[12:39] <reemusk> gnome: still waiting, is there any other way i can get this to you?
[12:39] <gnomefreak> reemusk: i told you to paste the contents on pastebin
[12:40] <Jack_Sparrow> reemusk: Paste it to #Jack_Sparrow while you wait
[12:40] <reemusk> gnome: i did. i'm waiting
[12:40] <gnomefreak> reemusk: can i have the address after you hit send
[12:40] <reemusk> jack: thanks, will do so. pastebin just asked me to download a php file
[12:40] <reemusk> after I hit send nothing happens
[12:40] <reemusk> it's stuck on loading
[12:41] <dsah> I can't get my ethernet to work at all
[12:41] <Jack_Sparrow> dsah: Your hardware type?
[12:41] <dsah> Asus A7N8X Deluxe
[12:42] <Jack_Sparrow> gnomefreak: He only has the mains enabled
[12:42] <dsah> two onboard ports
[12:42] <gnomefreak> i figured as much
[12:42] <gnomefreak> Jack_Sparrow: he said i already enabled all those :(
[12:42] <dli> dsah, two ethernet cards?
[12:42] <gnomefreak> !repos > reemusk
[12:43] <dsah> both are onboard on the motherboard
[12:43] <Jack_Sparrow> I was just trying to expedite things..
[12:43] <Aviatrixie> lottsa support happening at the moment... obviously not a good time for small talk. Have a good night all... and happy 4th to those in the usa  :)
[12:43] <dsah> G don't have ant non-onboard ones
[12:43] <dsah> *I
[12:43] <gnomefreak> reemusk: please read that wiki and enable multiverse repo
[12:43] <gnomefreak> brb
[12:43] <dli> dsah, that's very weird :( pastebin your lspci
[12:43] <reemusk> gnome: i have enabled multiverse repo
[12:43] <nny> does ubuntu support hfsplus (like say from a new mac)
[12:43] <dsah> Ispci?
[12:44] <dli> dsah, I don't mean it's impossible, but most likely, only one onboard nic
[12:44] <dli> !lspci > dsah
[12:44] <ubotu> I know nothing about lspci
[12:44] <Jack_Sparrow> dsah:  That has nvidia and 3Com lan cards
[12:44] <dsah> yeh, I know
[12:45] <dsah> would it matter that I am trying to connect through a hub?
[12:45] <reemusk> jack: i have enabled multiverse as the wiki page states. i have reloaded synaptic. pastebin is not working. what do i do?
[12:45] <dli> dsah, sudo apt-get install pciutils
[12:45] <diguana> Anyone know where I can find the setting that controls how long an SSH session can be inactive without disconnecting? I'm trying to access my home computer from work and it keeps kicking me out if I take my eyes off the window for a minute or two.
[12:45] <Jack_Sparrow> reemusk: Your paste into channel says dufferent
[12:45] <Jack_Sparrow> diff
[12:46] <reemusk> jack: interesting. interesting..
[12:46] <reemusk> jack: i do this in the software properties, correct?
[12:46] <patrickj> Dual lcds, finally :D
[12:46] <Jack_Sparrow> reemusk:  It just shows 4 mains
[12:46] <dsah> dliw that didn't do anything
[12:46] <dsah> *dli:
[12:46] <Jack_Sparrow> reemusk:  what?
[12:47] <dli> DIguana, that's controlled by sshd, the server side
[12:47] <reemusk> jack: it says to activate the repositories i must use software properties in administration
[12:47] <element> patrickj, me too :) 20"s :P
[12:47] <patrickj> element: mine are only 17"

[12:48] <Jack_Sparrow> reemusk: Try it my way
[12:48] <element> patrickj, do you see a conflict between these two? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820227124 -- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16813131022
[12:48] <patrickj> element: nice, DO you think I could check out your xorgconfig to see an example of the dual lcds?
[12:48] <Jack_Sparrow> Synaptic settings repositories
[12:49] <element> patrickj, I'm still on windows :P  this is my new box
[12:49] <stelki> I'm going to try my luck again: Have anybody other than me experienced a menu entry in gnome that you just can seem to remove? I've been trying with alacarte, but everytime I try to disable the entry, it just comes back instantly - what can I possibly do to get around this?
[12:49] <patrickj> damn, lol k
[12:49] <reemusk> i'm there
[12:49] <reemusk> jack
[12:49] <element> patrickj, so do you?
[12:49] <patrickj> element: no I dont see any conflict between those two, why uou ask?
[12:49] <patrickj> *you
[12:49] <reemusk> jack: they are all checked
[12:50] <element> patrickj, ordering my new hardware ;)
[12:50] <patrickj> nice
[12:50] <patrickj> element: its really good ram
[12:50] <element> dual 320gb drives, 2gb of ram, dual-core
[12:50] <element> dual 20" monitors, and more :P
[12:50] <Jack_Sparrow> reemusk: Were they before?
[12:50] <element> patrickj, SATA-II too :)
[12:50] <patrickj> element: oh, nice
[12:50] <patrickj> you could go for a little bit better of a motherboard though
[12:50] <element> cost me a pretty penny, but well worth it
[12:51] <patrickj> element: and what cpu ?
[12:51] <element> 4200+
[12:51] <element> X2
[12:51] <[Nige_Away] > j #debian
[12:51] <patrickj> hmm nice
[12:51] <patrickj> lucky bugger
[12:51] <stelki> element: damn, you won the lottery?
[12:51] <patrickj> Im just running dual xeons
[12:51] <element> stelki, no, my old computer is slowly dieing :P
[12:51] <patrickj> and dual 17" lcds :P
[12:51] <element> stelki, I have a 2ghz w/ 1gb of ram right now, about 5 years old
[12:52] <stelki> element: pfft, nothing wrong with that :D
[12:52] <element> I'll be selling a lot of my hardware too, 17" Samsung LCD, speakers, and some more
[12:52] <element> stelki, too slow for me :)
[12:52] <patrickj> lol k
[12:52] <patrickj> mines Dual 2.2GHz Xeons, 512mb Ram though
[12:52] <element> stelki, I like top performance
[12:52] <stelki> element: hehe, I getcha, luckily I'm patient enough
[12:52] <element> patrickj, I didn't want to go xeon, AMD is far above Xeon right now -- you should upgrade your ram too
[12:53] <element> stelki, more than welcome to buy my old hardware :)
[12:53] <patrickj> Yeh I know, but im broke ATM
[12:53] <patrickj> and 512mb ram is fine for linux
[12:53] <patrickj> I ONLY run linux
[12:53] <element> I have an extra Samsung 172X now :)
[12:53] <patrickj> k lol
[12:53] <Jack_Sparrow> reemusk: Your silence implies that it now works for you... Glad to help
[12:53] <patrickj> also, this mobo takes RDRAM, so basically its alot to get more ram :\
[12:54] <ompaul> notice  --  flood of unbans  coming up

[12:55] <Jack_Sparrow> stelki: Anything we might do to help?
[12:55] <nekromaan> hello, i compiled a new kernel <IP_ADDRESS> and get this error msg http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=443368 , i also cant use my second hard drive, what options do i have to en/disable in the kernel menu?
[12:56] <stelki> Jack_Sparrow: yeah I already asked a while ago, dont wanna spam too much with my silly questions though
[12:56] <stelki> figures noone answered noone knows
[12:56] <Stormx2> Ask away.
[12:56] <Jack_Sparrow> I probably wont know but ask anyhow
[12:56] <Stormx2> Oh and btw, you should all buy the ubuntu cds. They come with free stickers!
[12:57] <stelki> Alrighty then: Have anybody other than me experienced a menu entry in gnome that you just can seem to remove? I've been trying with alacarte, but everytime I try to disable the entry, it just comes back instantly - what can I possibly do to get around this?
[12:57] <Gareth1> ooh, stickers
[12:57] <gnomefreak> stelki: buy?
[12:57] <Jack_Sparrow> What is it and where in the menu
[12:57] <Stormx2> stelki: Ooh odd, I've never had that.
[12:57] <gnomefreak> shipit comes with stickers now ;)
[12:57] <n0k|a> you buy and get free stickers?
[12:57] <Stormx2> You don't have to pay any money
[12:57] <Stormx2> they send em to you for free
[12:58] <Stormx2> because our millionaire cosmonaut overlord commands them too.
[12:58] <stelki> And to be precise, its a menu entry from transgaming cedega
[12:58] <Gareth1> and the stickers are $3.5 each on the store
[12:58] <Stormx2> Haha really?
[12:58] <Gareth1> yep http://www.cafepress.com/ubuntushop/
[12:58] <Stormx2> Wow canonical must be making such a loss
[12:58] <Jack_Sparrow> stelki: You want it off the menu or off the system
[12:58] <Gareth1> are they the oval stickers Stormx2?
[12:58] <Stormx2> stelki: All I can suggest, make sure you only have one menu editor open, make sure the cedega process is fully terminated...
[12:59] <Stormx2> Gareth1: They are rectangular except one side of curved, in a semi-circle sorta fashion
[12:59] <Stormx2> And I got 12!
[12:59] <Stormx2> Im gonna stick them on stuff
[12:59] <Stormx2> and people..
[12:59] <Gareth1> wow, not bad number
[12:59] <Gareth1> I've been looking for stickers for my laptop
[12:59] <stelki> Jack_Sparrow: off the menu only
[12:59] <gnomefreak> Gareth1: no they are rectangle
[01:00] <Stormx2> they're not your usual small stickers tho
[01:00] <Gareth1> ah gotcha
[01:00] <Stormx2> these are biggens'
[01:00] <Gareth1> yeah, the store says 5 inch x 3 inch
[01:00] <stelki> Stormx2: yea, tried all that stuff :/
[01:00] <Stormx2> stelki: Kill X and log back in?
[01:00] <amortvigil> how to delete a map?
[01:00] <Stormx2> amortvigil: a... map?
[01:00] <amortvigil> how to delete a directory?
[01:00] <amortvigil> sorry:)
[01:01] <Stormx2> amortvigil: rmdir
[01:01] <Jack_Sparrow> stelki: Like storm said earlier, same advice I would give..
[01:01] <PFA> how big should ubuntu be after install?
[01:01] <Stormx2> amortvigil: or, if its not empty, rm -rf
[01:01] <stelki> Stormx2: did a whole pc restart earlier (to change a few fans), but the problem persists
[01:01] <Stormx2> stelki: I really don't know. Perhaps ask in #gnome ?
[01:02] <Stormx2> this is neat
[01:02] <Gareth1> PFA, for a standard ubuntu install, everything normally takes up about 2 gigs of space
[01:02] <Stormx2> theres only like 4 of us here
[01:02] <PFA> Gareth1: thanks
[01:02] <Stormx2> its cool and a lot less hectic than normal
[01:02] <Gareth1> although if you are really concerned with disk space, go for xubuntu (doesn't come with all the stuff that ubuntu comes with)
[01:02] <stelki> Stormx2: I will try, thanks
[01:02] <Jack_Sparrow> stelki: When you uncheck the box for it it comes back?
[01:03] <stelki> Jack_Sparrow: yep, first time I uncheck it it comes back, then when I uncheck again it doesnt, but the entry is still there
[01:03] <stelki> Jack_Sparrow: and its checked when I start alacarte again
[01:03] <Stormx2> stelki: So delete it?
[01:04] <Jack_Sparrow> stelki:  I wonder if gksudo alacarte would give the permission to do it
[01:04] <stelki> Stormx2: delete option blanked out
[01:04] <stelki> Jack_Sparrow: oh will just try that, did a sudo alacarte earlier though
[01:04] <moparfan90> im trying to install cedega and it says i need xlibs.. and there no package for it.. what should i do?
[01:04] <stelki> bleh, same result
[01:05] <Stormx2> stelki: Try #gnome
[01:05] <stelki> alright off I go then
[01:05] <Stormx2> moparfan90: May be something like libx, use your imagination
[01:05] <Stormx2> stelki: Sorry for not being able to help :(
[01:05] <moparfan90> i think theres  a .deb file online somewhere but i cant find it
[01:05] <moparfan90> anyone know where
[01:06] <Luke-b> Hi, I have installed CentOS on my computer, and now I want to install Ubuntu aswell. Can I use the same swap space partition for both OSs?
[01:06] <stelki> Stormx2: ahh its ok, I've been fooling around with it for some time without being able to do it myself too, google didnt really show anything either
[01:06] <Stormx2> moparfan90: Maybe theres a howto/wiki on cedega?
[01:06] <hyphenated> Luke-b: of course. only one of them is going to be running at any one time, so it's not going to matter
[01:06] <moparfan90> ill look
[01:07] <Luke-b> hyphenated: thanks
[01:07] <Jack_Sparrow> stelki: Does sudo still show the remove button as grey
[01:07] <Luke-b> Also, how do you recommend I re-partition my drive? I don't want to risk losing all my stuff
[01:07] <Stormx2> moparfan90: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega
[01:07] <hyphenated> Luke-b: carefully ;-)
[01:07] <Jack_Sparrow> Luke-b: No repartitioning is risk free in Linux or Windows
[01:07] <dli> Luke-b, better backup
[01:08] <Gareth1> Luke-b, back up to another drive
[01:08] <Luke-b> I will backup :) but how should I go about doing it after that?
[01:08] <Stormx2> Luke-b: whatever happens, don't back up.
[01:08] <Gareth1> do you have a separate partition for /home?
[01:08] <Stormx2> Yeah I do.
[01:08] <Gareth1> yeah, good idea Stormx2
[01:08] <Luke-b> no
[01:08] <Stormx2> gives the pr0n room to breathe.
[01:08] <stelki> Jack_Sparrow: yip
[01:09] <Jack_Sparrow> How do you force Ubuntu to use /home on a different partition? Does it need to be ext2,3 or reisf
[01:09] <Stormx2> I use ext3
[01:09] <Stormx2> and you just mount it
[01:09] <Gareth1> it's just in your fstab
[01:09] <dli> Jack_Sparrow, /etc/fstab
[01:09] <Stormx2> You do it in the installer...
[01:09] <Gareth1> I'm using reiserfs for my /home, but I imagine any recognizable filesystem would do
[01:10] <Stormx2> Anything yeah.
[01:10] <Jack_Sparrow> I have been copying it to another partition, but having it use the other partition would be better
[01:10] <Stormx2> Best not use FAT though ;)
[01:10] <Jack_Sparrow> dli:  what would I put in my fstab?
[01:10] <Gareth1> say, is grub still limited to ext* partitions?
[01:10] <Jack_Sparrow> DOnt think so
[01:11] <dli> Jack_Sparrow, follow other entries there, make an entry for /home
[01:11] <Stormx2> My setup is like this: 20gb HDD. 10gb "Stuff" (documents and such) 10gb Windows XP. 80gb HDD. 63.5gb "Music", 11gb /, 5gb /home, 1.5gb swap
[01:12] <dli> Gareth1, no, you can use reiserfs, jfs, xfs, ufs2, ffs, even fat for grub
[01:12] <Stormx2> I'll need a new HDD for music soon >.<
[01:12] <Gareth1> ah, thanks dli
[01:12] <Gareth1> hm, should I take the risk of redoing my /boot?
[01:12] <Torfinn> 'sudo apt-get install lyx' # give error 2 because of said corrupted package. Q: Does 'sudo apt-get clean lyx' prepare for new download and install?
[01:13] <Stormx2> I guess ;-)
[01:13] <Gareth1> Stormx2, there are plenty of places selling some nice 250 gb hard drives for ~100 dollars
[01:13] <Jack_Sparrow> dli: thanks, I will mess with that tomorrow... Thanks to all here for the help...

[01:31] <Phoul> Hello. Im re-installing ubuntu and im wondering which iso i need. when i had breezy i only had one option and now theres 3. I use my computer as a desktop system . Would i get the desktop cd?
[01:31] <Phoul> Im just not used to ubuntu ever having a livecd that your soposed to install off of hehe
[01:33] <useename> you want the desktop cd if you're installing from scratch and not upgrading
[01:33] <Expect> linux-pt
[01:33] <Phoul> okay well im installing over genpoo
[01:33] <cyphase> Not that I usually read Foxnews, but.. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,201765,00.html
[01:37] <oneeyedelf1> is there any way to increase ubuntu's startup
[01:37] <Hexidigital_> oneeyedelf1:: you can try using hybernate, depending on your system
[01:37] <livingdaylight> hi, How does one detect hardware?
[01:37] <boricua> i see that ubuntu apache localhost  shows a directory of apache2-default while apache2-default shows the initial page saying the server was setup correctly, is this correct of did the set up miss something?
[01:37] <livingdaylight> How can i check what the computer says my dvd writer is?
[01:38] <jbaloul> hi, anyone have MAXSOCKS problems with vncserver on amd64 ?
[01:38] <Bot_Builder> Hey, anyone know of a good source for info on ubuntu's fstab? I want to know about the options like errors=remount-ro,utf,umask=007,gid=46
[01:38] <oneeyedelf1> Hexidigital_: hibernate doesnt work on my system
[01:38] <Hexidigital_> boricua:: when you put an .html file in your /var/www,  the .html file will be the default
[01:38] <Hexidigital_> oneeyedelf1:: mine either :(
[01:38] <J_P> hey all, I am compiling kernel, I compile the kernel and install ok, but I try install second compiled kernel but the new kernel try create same name in /lib/modules/... But In kernel package I specific diferent argument in --revision : root@concord:/usr/src# make-kpkg --revision=test.1.0 kernel-image.
[01:38] <J_P> So, I have this kernel do install via dpkg -i : kernel-image-<IP_ADDRESS>-ubuntu1_normal.kernel.conf.p<IP_ADDRESS>_i386.deb and kernel-image-<IP_ADDRESS>-ubuntu1_p<IP_ADDRESS>_i386.deb. But first kernel create dir /lib/modules/<IP_ADDRESS>-ubuntu1/ and when i try install second kernel ubuntu show error for me that dir /lib/modules/<IP_ADDRESS>-ubuntu1/ already exist. Why if my argumtn in --revision when compile is diferent ?
[01:39] <_nano_> Hi, filesystem of / shows 0.6% non-contiguous blocks...what does this mean?
[01:40] <_nano_> *filesystem check
[01:40] <Bot_Builder> _nano_ - that means those sections are fragmented, no big deal really
[01:40] <Bot_Builder> just when that number gets bigger you might want to defragment
[01:40] <_nano_> Bot_Builder, is there anyway to defragment?
[01:40] <Bot_Builder> yep
[01:40] <_nano_> Bot_Builder, how?
[01:40] <hyphenated> _nano_: yes, but it's generally not necessary (it's done automagically for most filesystems)
[01:41] <_nano_> hyphenated, ah ok...so i guess i don't have to worry about it
[01:41] <Bot_Builder> yeah, I wouldn't
[01:41] <Bot_Builder> .6% is tiny
[01:41] <hyphenated> _nano_: as Bot_Builder said, it's "no big deal"
[01:41] <Bot_Builder> I think I'm at like 2%, and thats still tiny :P
[01:41] <Hexidigital_> boricua:: you there?
[01:41] <_nano_> I have another question...ubuntu by default installed as ext3 ...there are others like reiserfs etc...which one's the best?
[01:42] <bit_doidao> Hello all! does anyone had succes in syncing palm zire 72 in ubuntu? This is my last issue for my perfect desktop
[01:42] <Hexidigital_> boricua:: make a test page <html><body>test</body></html> and name it index.html, then reload the page
[01:42] <oneeyedelf1> so is there any way other than using hibernate to decrease my startup times
[01:42] <hyphenated> _nano_: even if it were horrendously fragmented, it's not going to matter, because performance doesn't degrade on ext3 the same way it does with fat32 (a windows filesystem). and the files that _do_ get used often will have automagically been defragmented as well.
[01:42] <Bot_Builder> _nano_: Nothing is really best - some are good in some areas, some are better in others.  Ext3 is plenty good though
[01:42] <cyberite> hi, i'm running Amarok 1.4 (from the dapper repo's) - but when I run the first run wizard and add the directory that contains my music, nothing shows up in my collcetion. Has anybody seen this?
[01:43] <_nano_> hyphenated, Bot_Builder, many many thanks  :)
[01:43] <hyphenated> cyberite: I've only seen that for files that weren't tagged properly
[01:43] <lefty> hey will ubuntu run ok on my old powerbook g3?
[01:43] <FCTE> Amarok is tricky, I just messed with it enough until it started evntually working right
[01:43] <oneeyedelf1> cyberite: did yuo wait for it to finish building your catalog
[01:43] <cyberite> yes, the window showed 100%
[01:44] <Bot_Builder> _nano_: no problem :)
[01:44] <livingdaylight> Is there any specific way dvd witers need to be configured that i should know about?
[01:44] <cyberite> hyphenated, yes, some of them might be improperly tagged
[01:44] <spikeb> eh, the kde packages are kind of unstable for me
[01:44] <livingdaylight> k3b says it can write, but i've tried to burn dvd .iso and yet it says it is blank
[01:45] <hyphenated> livingdaylight: after going into the menu and choosing Tools -> Burn DVD ISO Image ?
[01:47] <hyphenated> livingdaylight: have you previously gone to Settings -> K3b Setup ?
[01:47] <livingdaylight> hyphenated: yea, did that and burnt the iso ; but it shows up as empty  - i'm trying again now
[01:48] <livingdaylight> hyphenated: went to Settings -> configure k3b , and under device it confirms that it has picked up the new dvd writer i just bought
[01:48] <boricua> Hexidigital_:sorry i am here
[01:49] <hyphenated> livingdaylight: the other one (K3b setup) checks/changes permissions of a bunch of things if they are set incorrectly
[01:49] <livingdaylight> what am i looking for?
[01:49] <boricua> Hexidigital_:thxs
[01:49] <FCTE> Anyone running xgl/compiz?
[01:49] <SonicChao> My video card isn't working, it's a Mobile Intel 915GM Express Chipset
[01:50] <SonicChao> Can someone help?
[01:50] <lefty> xubuntu or ubuntu on powerbookg3?
[01:50] <lefty> any suggestions?
[01:50] <SonicChao> lefty: Ubuntu
[01:50] <Usunny> FCTE thers a #xgl channel
[01:50] <FCTE> Ubuntu is better IMHO
[01:51] <FCTE> sweet thanks
[01:51] <lefty> will it be slow with 333mhz processor though
[01:51] <SonicChao> Can somoene help me?
[01:51] <Comrade_S> hi sonic
[01:51] <Comrade_S> what do you need
[01:51] <SonicChao> Comrade_S!
[01:51] <SonicChao> What a pleasant surprise!
[01:51] <wweasel> To those of you who use a VNC client in Ubuntu, what client do you recommend?
[01:51] <Comrade_S> hi sonic
[01:51] <SonicChao> Comrade_S: My video card isn't working, it's a Mobile Intel 915GM Express Chipset
[01:52] <SonicChao> Ubuntu 6.06
[01:52] <Frederick> cant I use lex and yacc on ubuntu?
[01:52] <Comrade_S> SonicChao: I cant help you with that unfortunately.Not my expertise
[01:54] <erUSUL> Frederick: sure why not?
[01:54] <Frederick> erUSUL, couldnt find the packages
[01:54] <Frederick> I know there is byson and flex
[01:55] <livingdaylight> hyphenated: in k3b setup ; how should things be?
[01:56] <livingdaylight> hyphenated: ?
[01:56] <hyphenated> livingdaylight: it should load up stuff about 'Settings', 'Devices' and 'External Programs'
[01:57] <livingdaylight> hyphenated: yea..no, how should they be setup?
[01:57] <livingdaylight> hyphenated: its there; but  i dont know if it is right or wrong
[01:57] <wweasel> To those of you who use a VNC client in Ubuntu, what client do you recommend?
[01:57] <livingdaylight> hyphenated: k3b again burnt a blank dvd
[01:57] <erUSUL> Frederick: then you will have to get the source and compile it... i'm afraid
[01:57] <hyphenated> livingdaylight: it's showing you 'how things should be'. is "Apply" clickable or disabled?
[01:58] <livingdaylight> hyphenated: its disabled
[01:58] <bimberi> wweasel: i use the one shipped (xvncviewer) via Applications -> Internet -> Terminal Server Client
[01:59] <livingdaylight> hyphenated: un-clickable
[01:59] <hyphenated> so it does a complete burn with no errors, and it still appears blank to you when it's done?
[01:59] <riddlebox> I need to enable a script in /etc/init.d how would I do that?
[02:00] <livingdaylight> hyphenated: thats about it
[02:00] <loderunner> what would/could 'tracer' refer to other than traceroute?
[02:00] <wweasel> biberi: oh, cool, I didn't know it shipped with one.
[02:00] <bimberi> wweasel: :)
[02:00] <hyphenated> livingdaylight: I'd use google to find out if other people have complained about that drive in linux
[02:00] <livingdaylight> hyphenated: ok, a project for tomorrow then
[02:01] <bimberi> riddlebox: use the update-rc.d command for that, you'll need to consult the man page for how to run it
[02:01] <Glassius> i'm trying to get frequency scaling to work properly on my pentium-m, but for some reasons there only seems to be two available steps, 600mhz and 1,5ghz...any idea on how to get the other steps working?
[02:01] <Glassius> "cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies" returns "1500000 600000", the same does cpufreq-info
[02:01] <riddlebox> thanks
[02:01] <Consty> Anyone know why xmame's package is broken?  I have the binary nvidia drivers installed and working and I can't get xmame to work with GL.. saying libGL.so is not found.

Why if my argumtn in --revision when compile is diferent ?
[02:06] <m_tadeu> hi everyone....if iptables -L is empty, means that the firewall is not filtering anything, right?
[02:06] <jason_> is there a gpg key for backports?
[02:07] <wweasel> I have a question, and it seems really stupid considering I've been using Ubuntu for a few months now. What about defragging?
[02:07] <zerby_> no defragging for linux
[02:08] <Frederick> wweasel, this is a windows issue
[02:08] <Frederick> fschk
[02:08] <wweasel> So Linux disks don't become fragmented?
[02:08] <zerby_> right
[02:09] <jason_> wweasel, ext2/ext3 are designed not to be
[02:09] <wweasel> Cool. That's good to know.
[02:09] <jason_> but there are tools to do it if you really want to
[02:09] <J_P> anyone can help me with kernel-package ?
[02:09] <zerby_> next question: virusses ?
[02:10] <m_tadeu> lolol don't forget about adwares
[02:10] <zerby_> yes yes adwares
[02:10] <Glassius> what about registry clean-up?
[02:11] <zerby_> what about windows
[02:11] <Gareth1> don't forget to make sure you have a genuine copy, to "protect" you from piracy
[02:11] <zerby_> oh yeeeesssss
[02:11] <zerby_> licensies
[02:11] <m_tadeu> never, but never use a key generator
[02:11] <Bot_Builder> hmm, mounting a partition into a folder in my home dir isn't working so well
[02:12] <Glassius> can i run WGA in wine? :P
[02:12] <Gareth1> haha Glassius
[02:12] <Bot_Builder> I get 'Error "Not on the same filesystem" while deleting'
[02:12] <Glassius> i'm wondering if i have a pirated version of kubuntu
[02:12] <Bot_Builder> when i try to delete something in it
[02:13] <zerby_> lol
[02:13] <Bot_Builder> Glassius - lol, is there such a thing
[02:13] <zerby_> wow illegal copie of ubuntu!!??
[02:13] <Glassius> actually, that would be a fun project, getting wga running in wine...wonder what it would think :P
[02:14] <rackerz> hello?
[02:14] <wweasel> Glassius: I think I've read about people doing crazy stuff like that.
[02:14] <rackerz> can someone help me get my webcam working when i start up ubuntu?
[02:15] <docta_v> does anyone here know a fair amount about spf (sender policy framework)
[02:15] <docta_v> would appreciate a msg if you can help me interpret some spf records
[02:16] <socket7> hello
[02:16] <zerby_> lo
[02:16] <socket7> Can anyone help me get udev to see the CD-rom drive in my laptop as a hot swap device
[02:17] <Dr_Willis> howdy
[02:20] <socket7> Has anyone here ever configured udev by hand?
[02:21] <farky> Can someone help me with setting up my sata drive?
[02:21] <J_P> Are there one doc to compile kernel one ubuntu using kernel-package ?
[02:21] <Bot_Builder> hmm, can i make a symbolic link to a folder?
[02:22] <hyphenated> Bot_Builder: sure
[02:22] <Bot_Builder> coolio
[02:23] <bimberi> J_P: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[02:23] <Bot_Builder> none of the docs i looked at specifically said you could do folders
[02:23] <Dr_Willis> farky,  give a few more details as to what you are wanting to do
[02:23] <socket7> 725 people and nobody has any idea of how to configure udev by hand?
[02:24] <farky> Dr_Willies: mainly, I cannot get the text installer to start the partitioner because it is not detecting my drive
[02:24] <Dr_Willis> socket7,  whats to config. :P its got its files in /etc/udev/  go forit!@
[02:24] <Dr_Willis> :P
[02:24] <Dr_Willis> farky,  hmm..  could try the live cd and see if it sees the drive
[02:25] <socket7> Dr_Willis. So you have no idea then.
[02:25] <F0LL0W3R> how to configure out the modem properties for HSP56 mr via to get the connection workin ?
[02:25] <farky> Dr_Willis: well I have another problem there, the Live CD does not detect my mouse. I have tried three different mice: PS/2 and USB
[02:25] <Dr_Willis> socket7,  i would guess the udev homepage would be where to start. :) as you hopefully await a response here.
[02:26] <Dr_Willis> farky,  now thats odd.  this a desktop machine? or laptop?
[02:26] <farky> Dr_Willis: desktop
[02:26] <hussam> will edgy eft contain xorg 7.1?
[02:26] <spikeb> hussam: yes
[02:26] <hussam> or is too late for that?
[02:27] <hussam> spikeb: ah ok good
[02:27] <Dr_Willis> farky,  hmm.. could try some other live cd.. but the hw detection in the ubuntu live seemed quite good last i tried it.
[02:27] <Samus_Aran> can anyone suggest why I might be getting "fork resource unavailable" when I have 1.25 GiB RAM, only 170 processes and ulimit shows "unlimited" ?  top shows half a gig of cache used and 50 MiB RAM free
[02:27] <farky> Dr_Willis: I have tried the slax series of live cd's also, but same problem
[02:28] <Dr_Willis> farky,  that almost sounds like some odd motherboard/bios issue then.
[02:28] <F0LL0W3R> any1 would help me abt the modem properties to configure out the problem to bel solved ^_^
[02:28] <Dr_Willis> farky,  may want to google for your exact machine and see if any othe rlinux users have had issues like that.
[02:28] <farky> Dr_Willis: ok I will try that, thanks
[02:29] <witless> hi. when playing a dvd in ubuntu, does it bypass regional encoding?
[02:29] <socket7> Dr_Willis, I'm sorry you've proven my theory once again.
[02:29] <Dr_Willis> socket7,  sure whatever...
[02:29] <GrubChub> is there a default username/password for phpmyadmin when you install it through apt?
[02:29] <socket7> Linux users are assholes :D
[02:29] <Dr_Willis> farky,  you could see what exact x config is being generated. and see if the dev is matching up.
[02:30] <Dr_Willis> socket7,  yea sure... whatever.
[02:30] <Dr_Willis> :)
[02:30] <GrubChub> bah some of the guys I work with are :p
[02:30] <Dr_Willis> ya missed the fun earlier today.
[02:30] <GrubChub> I hate it when they are zealots about the OS
[02:30] <GrubChub> :) I think it's an awesome os
[02:30] <Frederick> can I get flash 8 for linux?
[02:30] <GrubChub> but some subscribe to it like a religon :-|
[02:31] <rsk> Frederick no
[02:31] <Frederick> great =/
[02:31] <farky> Dr_Willis: maybe upgrade my bios? I just read that some guy had the same problem with the hard disk and he just upgraded the bios and it worked fine
[02:31] <Dr_Willis> GrubChub,  heh - its a tool. and all tools have limitations and take efforts to learn.
[02:31] <GrubChub> That's not the point i'm arguing at all
[02:31] <GrubChub> I understand that completely
[02:31] <Dr_Willis> farky,  i had linux issues in the past that there fixed by bios updates.  so if there is a bios update - id be sure to try it
[02:31] <GrubChub> you guys are extremely helpful here
[02:31] <Dr_Willis> GrubChub,  :P
[02:32] <farky> Dr_Willis: ok thanks
[02:32] <GrubChub> there are some linux users are like... look me not in the eye foul swine! you have the stench of microsoft on you!
[02:32] <Dr_Willis> My laptop was usless under linu untill i updated its bios
[02:32] <Dr_Willis> GrubChub,  thats #debian :P
[02:32] <GrubChub> hehehe
[02:32] <ssuehr> hey now
[02:32] <Dr_Willis> Heh heh that woke them up!
[02:33] <Dr_Willis> hmm.. i just noticed that under kde i got a battery gague and cpu speed  applet.. wonder where a similer thing is for gnome.
[02:36] <Comrade_S> Dr_Willis: gDesklets
[02:36] <Dr_Willis> socket7,  i just noticed several hotswap packages for ide devices under synaptic :)
[02:37] <Dr_Willis> Comrade_S, yea - i lperfer the panel applets myself.
[02:37] <socket7> I already used apt to install hotswap.
[02:37] <Comrade_S> Dr_Willis: ok,np
[02:37] <skavenge> trying to install on an old desktop machine now, after, 'mounting root filesystem' i get hdb: timeout waiting for dma , then hdb: not ready for command or something like that, then it just does i/o errors on the drive over and over till i reboot .. anyone seen this? im not coming up with much on google ..
[02:38] <ssuehr> have you tried booting with  'ide=nodma'?
[02:38] <dtsuei> just a quick quesiton, wut's the keyboard shortcut to switch to 2nd, 3rd, and 4th desktop in ghome?
[02:38] <dtsuei> gnome*
[02:39] <J_P> bimberi: thanks! :-)
[02:39] <skavenge> ssuehr: ill give that a try, didnt see it on the boot options on the disc just tried acpi=off
[02:40] <ssuehr> skavenge, when i've had similar problems it's been indicative of a hard drive going bad.
[02:40] <skavenge> ssuehr: hdb's the cdrom so maybe thats dying
[02:41] <spades> you have your cdrom on the same channel as harddrive/
[02:41] <skavenge> hda's the harddrive .. yes i might spades dunno for sure
[02:41] <bimberi> J_P: yw :)
[02:41] <socket7> Dr_Willis, All those hotswap utilities in synaptic do not work. I've tried them already. I've read their manuals too.
[02:41] <kordo> hi
[02:41] <ssuehr> skavenge:  does this help?  http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-9914.html
[02:42] <kordo> i dont think so
[02:42] <skavenge> ssuehr: taking a look now
[02:42] <kordo> any1 knows how to install anything?
[02:43] <spades> skavenge if im not mistaken, it will only go as fast as the slowest thing which is your cdrom, maybe put that on secondary and it will be hdc and it wont slow down your harddrive
[02:43] <skavenge> hmm ill have to pull the side off it and see
[02:43] <kordo> Linux only make me angry
[02:49] <skavenge> its kind of a pain cause there is no internet on it right now so i cant paste errors etc
[02:49] <kordo> but i hate when someone tell me to go to windows
[02:49] <GrubChub> go to windows!
[02:49] <kordo> just need a help
[02:49] <Dr_Willis> sudo apt-get install mc     (will install the program mc)
[02:49] <GrubChub> fine
[02:49] <Dr_Willis> as an example
[02:49] <GrubChub> go to beos :p
[02:49] <kordo> here again
[02:49] <GrubChub> ;) :p sorry
[02:49] <kordo> another 1
[02:49] <GrubChub> just fooling around
[02:49] <spades> skavenge im not referring to errors, just general usage to keep them on different channels
[02:49] <Dr_Willis> sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop               will install the whole xubuntu-desktop set of packagtes as another example.
[02:49] <skavenge> kinda funny no hiccups on my laptop with the dapper livecd but the desktop cries heh
[02:49] <Ghost_Printer> kordo stop trying to use Linux like Windows and you will have an easier time
[02:49] <kordo> not that understand anything
[02:49] <kordo> well,i only try to get some help
[02:49] <kordo> but everyone says only if u dont understand go to windows
[02:49] <spikeb> that's not good :(
[02:49] <Ghost_Printer> help with what Kordo ?
[02:49] <kordo> with Linux
[02:49] <kordo> with installing programs
[02:49] <Ghost_Printer> which program?
[02:49] <kordo> i downloaded valknut
[02:49] <kordo> but i don't know how to install
[02:49] <Meshyf> Can someone give me a little advice, on how well Ubuntu would run on a Dell 3800?
[02:49] <Ghost_Printer> brb
[02:49] <Usunny> kordo so your stuck with a .rpm ?
[02:49] <skavenge> ooh i think the ide=nodma got it through the error .. obviously have to fix that later if i can
[02:49] <socket7> Meshyf, It will run perfectly assuming you have enough spare time in your life to devote to beating it into submission.
[02:49] <flyinprogramer> sundude90
[02:49] <kordo> yes,rpm
[02:49] <James_> hi
[02:49] <Usunny> well, then
[02:49] <ssuehr> you can skavenge, to make it permanent.
[02:49] <flyinprogramer> sundude90 needs help with modem drivers
[02:49] <Usunny> !rpm
[02:49] <ubotu> rpm is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous).
[02:49] <Meshyf> Socket7: Really that bad?
[02:49] <Dr_Willis> !info valknut
[02:49] <ubotu> valknut: graphical client for Direct Connect. In repository universe, is optional. Version 0.3.7-2ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 863 kB, installed size 3044 kB
[02:49] <vbgunz> kordo: sudo apt-get valknut first!
[02:49] <skavenge> ssuehr: well hopefully i can fix whatever it is, not having dma for my drives would make it slow
[02:49] <Dr_Willis> vbgunz,  he needs to set up the right repos first
[02:49] <socket7> Meshyf Thats linux in general. If you have weird hardware, it gets even wrose.
[02:49] <socket7> worse.
[02:49] <Dr_Willis> done he? or is uni the default.. i forget.
[02:49] <kordo> sudo apt-get valknut?
[02:49] <Usunny> yes, in console
[02:49] <Dr_Willis> sudo apt-get install PackageName
[02:49] <sundude90> I want to conect my computer to the internet using dialup.  I have ubuntu
[02:49] <vbgunz> kordo: thats all you need if you have the right repos in your sources.list
[02:49] <kordo> what is this,and what is console?
[02:49] <Dr_Willis> ya frogot the install  part.
[02:49] <Usunny> O_o
[02:49] <Meshyf> socket7: I've installed ubuntu on some funky stuff and it ran fine but never tried a laptop so I was just curious/
[02:49] <Usunny> you shold read a manual ^^
[02:49] <James_> im having a really annoying problem, where my recent install wont boot, in 'normal' mode, it stops on the step "uncompressing linux...booting the kernel", and in recovery mode, it stops on "acpi: looking for dsdt...not found". All i did to break it was change my xorg.conf file
[02:49] <arapehl> I can't get my CD-ROM and CD-RW drives to mount... I can see them, but I can't get them working. Any ideas?
[02:49] <Dr_Willis> !cli
[02:49] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via applications -> accessories -> terminal (gnome) or kmenu -> system -> konsole (kde). Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[02:50] <flyinprogramer> sundude90 i would suggest telling what kind of modem you have, a.k.a copy paste the lspci line of your modem card
[02:50] <James_> doesnt boot with the dapper or hoary live cds either
[02:50] <sundude90> flyinprogramer   help me allen
[02:50] <Ackeubu_> you guys i am looking for the export_divx4.so object, in what package can i find it?
[02:50] <Dr_Willis> console/terminal/command line interface = where you type in commands
[02:50] <socket7> Meshyf, laptops usually fail to suspend and or hibernate, show incorrect screen resolutions, or hot swap bays wont work correctly.
[02:50] <someoneuseless> @James: use a live linux from cd and repair your file
[02:51] <socket7> in the case of my laptop, all 3 are true
[02:51] <arapehl> I can't get my CD-ROM and CD-RW drives to mount... I can see them, but I can't get them working. Any ideas?
[02:51] <Meshyf> Socket7: Ah aight, thanks.
[02:51] <sundude90> fly  can I copy and paste here or npt
[02:51] <kordo> applications-accesoires does not have a terminal
[02:51] <James_> i tried to, changed it back to the old one and it still doesnt work. Also tried booting from the hoary live cd/dapper install cd and neither will boot. Knoppix and DSL seem to work though
[02:51] <flyinprogramer> does anyone know if you can use the x.org config file that ubuntu uses with gentoo?? because unbuntu supports my 1280x8000 res, and gentoo won't.....easily, and i was wondering if one could just copy the xorgconf file to my gentoo system to get it to work
[02:52] <kordo> system does not have a console
[02:52] <sundude90> flyinprogramer how do I copy and paste
[02:52] <flyinprogramer> sundude90 you have the screen, just type it word for word
[02:53] <Amaranth> kordo: what is the problem?
[02:53] <whitehorseNtiger> I see some cluster stuff in synaptic.  Does anyone have a ubuntu cluster up and runner?   What should I install?
[02:53] <Amaranth> !cluster
[02:53] <ubotu> I know nothing about cluster
[02:53] <Amaranth> hrm
[02:53] <Dr_Willis> i really think they need to put a terminal icon on the panel by default :P
[02:54] <kordo> the problem is how to install dc++ client
[02:54] <kordo> or codecks for playing avi files
[02:54] <arapehl> 725 ppl in the channel and nobody knows how to get my CD-ROM and CD-RW drives to work? :-) C'mon guys, I've gotten so much help here in the past! :-)
[02:54] <kordo> or anything like it in Linux
[02:54] <Amaranth> !avi

[02:54] <whitehorseNtiger> what is "!cluster"?
[02:54] <Amaranth> whitehorseNtiger: nothing
[02:54] <whitehorseNtiger> ok
[02:55] <someoneuseless> !cluster
[02:55] <ubotu> I know nothing about cluster
[02:55] <Dr_Willis> arapehl,  you see them but cant access them once they are mounted you are saying?
[02:55] <sundude90> ok alllen
[02:55] <flyinprogramer> my name keeps getting longer
[02:56] <arapehl> Dr_Willis: It's weird, they show up in my Computer File Browser but when I try to read a disk it gives me errors... the latest (from the CD-ROM) is wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb,
[02:56] <arapehl>        missing codepage or other error
[02:56] <arapehl>        in some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
[02:56] <arapehl>        dmesg | tail  or so
[02:56] <sundude90>  I have a Conexant HSF 56k Data/ Fax modem
[02:56] <Dr_Willis> arapehl,  thats a genric mount failed error.
[02:56] <Dr_Willis> sounds like.
[02:56] <skavenge> i have to do ide=nodma to boot the livecd, should I do anything to setup for this before I 'install' so it will boot once its booting from the harddisk?
[02:56] <Amaranth> whitehorseNtiger: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuOnCluster
[02:56] <snoops> kordo there's a few dc clinets to choose from
[02:57] <snoops> kordo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_connect_file-sharing_application#Linux.2FUnix
[02:57] <arapehl> Dr_Willis: the funny thing is, I'm using the Ubuntu boot CD I used to install the system in the first place :)
[02:57] <sundude90> I need to know how to add that driver to a ubuntu computer
[02:57] <Amaranth> sundude90: you have to pay some jerks to get a driver for that
[02:57] <sundude90> Amaranth   i do
[02:58] <someoneuseless> how do you leave a manual opened with eg. $man gcc
[02:58] <Amaranth> sundude90: http://linmodems.org/
[02:58] <sundude90> Is there a download site for it or something
[02:59] <Amaranth> sundude90: You have to buy it.
[02:59] <kordo> http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/breezy-i386/vlc/0.8.5-svn20060208/
[02:59] <James_> Anyone got any idea why my computer will fail to boot from the dapper install cd, stopping on the "Uncompressing Linux...booting the kernel" message?
[02:59] <kordo> do i have to download it all?
[03:00] <kordo> any1 who knows something about it?
[03:00] <James_> yet it booted fine about an hour ago when i installed dapper?
[03:00] <useename> James_ : how long did you wait?
[03:00] <James_> err
[03:00] <James_> a while
[03:00] <snoops> kordo no of course not.. just giving you an IDEA of what dc clients are around for linux
[03:00] <James_> stops at the same point when booting from the hard drive
[03:00] <sundude90> Amaranth  I have the driver in the computer but I need software to run it on linux
[03:00] <kordo> no,the link
[03:00] <kordo> http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/breezy-i386/vlc/0.8.5-svn20060208/
[03:01] <kordo> what to do here?
[03:01] <Amaranth> sundude90: You have the hardware in the computer, you have to buy the driver (software) to run it with linux.
[03:01] <snoops> do you just want vlc kordo?
[03:01] <kordo> yes
[03:01] <kordo> to play files video files
[03:01] <sundude90> ok
[03:02] <snoops> kordo either open synaptic package manager then search for vlc and choose to download it from that or type 'sudo apt-get install vlc' in terminal
[03:03] <snoops> but you really should install multimedia codecs for linux as well, eh kordo..
[03:03] <kordo> Ok,why is so difficult for elementary playing of files to do this,and i still don't understand how to do it
[03:03] <kordo> there is no terminal
[03:03] <kordo> well,i did
[03:03] <kordo> and nothing
[03:03] <kordo> still cannot play avi
[03:03] <sundude90> flyinprogramer Ineed to buy it not fair  now I am mad.  Bye see ya soon.   Have a great trip.  Thanks ofr all your help.   Friends forever.  Saty safe and good luck with ya family
[03:03] <arapehl> Uhm, what's a "sym link" and how do I make sure it's not broken on my machine?
[03:03] <Dr_Willis> applications --> accessories --> terminal is where i see  the terminal icon.
[03:03] <snoops> !restricted > kordo
[03:03] <vem0m> hehe
[03:04] <vem0m> goto run command and type konsole
[03:04] <James_> useename: I tried it again, waited for 3 minutes. Still doesnt boot
[03:04] <snoops> read the links ubotu sent you kordo
[03:04] <vem0m> should bring up terminal
[03:04] <kordo> I did
[03:04] <kordo> and it says to install vlc
[03:04] <kordo> and i dont know how
[03:04] <vem0m> goto adept and search for that or use apt-get
[03:05] <James_> !dpdt
[03:05] <ubotu> I know nothing about dpdt
[03:05] <snoops> kordo there's a lot more than just 'install vlc' in those guides, if you read them
[03:05] <GrubChub> can someone tell me how I get to IRC?
[03:05] <zcat[1] > gah! sco openserver 5. What fun!
[03:05] <vem0m> lol
[03:05] <vem0m> u are in IRC
[03:05] <Dr_Willis> or the 'applications' --> 'add/remove'  icon can let ya isntall vnc if you check the  'unsupported' check box.
[03:05] <vem0m> yep
[03:05] <GrubChub> huh?
[03:05] <Dr_Willis> oops i ment vlc
[03:05] <neighborlee> does ubuntu plan on fully supporting LSB and if so when ? ;-))
[03:05] <kordo> whatever,it's obviosly is no way to install simple program in Linux
[03:05] <arapehl> Dr_Willis: the funny thing is, I'm using the Ubuntu boot CD I used to install the system in the first place :)
[03:05] <sundude90> flyinprogramer    helo allen
[03:05] <vem0m> GrubChub: this is IRC
[03:05] <vem0m> lmfao
[03:06] <arapehl> Dr_Willis: I did a search and came up with "sym link"... could it be that they icons for the drives are reversed?
[03:06] <GrubChub> okay how do I connect to #ubuntu?
[03:06] <kordo> Just for the record-there is no VLC in synaptix
[03:06] <Usunny> you! Ogg vs mp3, hit me!
[03:06] <James_> grubchub: That's where you are now ;-)
[03:06] <zcat[1] > kordo: universe or multiverse?
[03:06] <vem0m> type /join #ubuntu
[03:06] <Dr_Willis> kordo,  takes me all of 10 sec to get the stuff installed.. add/remove programs. check that check box.. find vlc..  check it.
[03:06] <GrubChub> hehe
[03:06] <kordo> 'what is this?
[03:06] <arapehl> Dr_Willis: When I try and use the CD-ROM, the whole system just hangs until I hit a button (eject) on the drive... very, veri weird.
[03:06] <zcat[1] > !repos
[03:06] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[03:07] <GrubChub> ooooohh okay... soo how do I chat?
[03:07] <Dr_Willis> arapehl,  i agree there
[03:07] <JackDeth_> Wow! there's a lot of people here. Maybe I could get what I hope will be a simple question answered....  ;-P
[03:07] <zcat[1] > kordo: go read what ubotu said
[03:07] <arapehl> Dr_Willis: So how do I go about diagnosing and fixing they sym links? I've never done anything like that.
[03:07] <vem0m> ummmm u type thing into the box at the bottom of ur IRC program and hit enter on your keyboard
[03:07] <whitehorseNtiger> Has anyone got openMOSIX working on ubuntu?
[03:07] <Dr_Willis> arapehl,  ick. not sure where to start
[03:07] <GrubChub> oooooh
[03:07] <arapehl> Dr_Willis: Awesome! ;) j/k
[03:08] <kordo> it's only totem in add/remove
[03:08] <zcat[1] > the best way to fix ubuntu is to not break it in the first place :)
[03:08] <GrubChub> O
[03:08] <GrubChub> I've got to go to the bafroom
[03:08] <Dr_Willis> kordo,  check the unsupported check box - and the comercial check box perhaps and see if it shows up then
[03:08] <vem0m> lol i had to fix kicker earlier as i messed that up somehow lol
[03:08] <cyberslug> Is anyone here willing to assist me in setting up something to graph latency in ping.... I am having considerable difficulties with RRDTool... Are there any other options?
[03:08] <James_> hmm, my live cd still gets stuck on the "Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel." stage, as does my hard drive install and a hoary live cd
[03:09] <kordo> ?where are these boxes?
[03:09] <JackDeth_> I am completely new to Linux, but have been tasked with putting together a computer for our church's gradeschool which will act as a Librarian's desk PC for their small library. I found a full featured open source library management package which sounds perfect for what we want, but it runs on Linux only.
[03:09] <vem0m> your cd sound to be corrupted
[03:09] <Dr_Willis> right in the middle of that dialog box where it shows "show unsupported applications'
[03:09] <zcat[1] > JackDeth_: koha ?
[03:10] <JackDeth_> The version it recommends include Debian and Fedora.
[03:10] <vem0m> JackDeth_: install linux
[03:10] <JackDeth_> Yes!! Koha! How did you know?
[03:10] <_nano_> !quicktime

[03:10] <James_> vem0m: me? But my hard drive installed copy fails at the same point. Could just be a coincidence i suppose
[03:10] <zcat[1] > just go ahead and install ubuntu.. it's the easiest distro
[03:10] <Usunny> you mind telling kordo that ? :>
[03:10] <kordo> i red it
[03:11] <vem0m> james it might be due to u installing from a corrupted cd or an attempt by one
[03:11] <chespirito> is there any software available for ubuntu that is similar to adobe after effects or discreet combustion?
[03:11] <kordo> and i wanted to install vls
[03:11] <kordo> but u only say read
[03:11] <JackDeth_> Well, someone told me that Ubuntu has it's roots in Debian or some such thing and I was wondering if Koha would work with it....
[03:11] <vem0m> its debian based
[03:11] <kordo> what to read,this help is for advansed users
[03:11] <vem0m> which is linux
[03:12] <vem0m> :)
[03:12] <James_> ven0m: My hard drive install did work for a while, but I edited my xorg.conf file, in a futile attempt to install XGL, and i gues i may have broken something
[03:12] <snoops> JackDeth_ yep that's correct.. like debian, ubuntu has apt, which makes things very easy :)
[03:12] <kordo> there is no help that helps new users
[03:12] <James_> ven0m: but i cant see how that would break my live cd
[03:12] <zcat[1] > hmm.. not sure there's a koha package for ubuntu.. it's not in th repos!
[03:12] <vem0m> hmmmmm i dunno
[03:13] <vem0m> try redownloading it and trying if that don't work it might be a hardware failure
[03:13] <Usunny> linux isnt like win, you need to read a few pages to get the feel for it
[03:13] <James_> ven0m: suppose i can give a new cd a try
[03:13] <zcat[1] > afk.. brb
[03:13] <boga> how do I start the sound system?
[03:13] <James_> ven0m: i'll just md5 the copy i downloaded before
[03:13] <JackDeth_> Also, I see there are two version of Ubuntu, server and workstation. Well, we only have one computer and I planned on running the koha server on it as well as allowing the librarians to access the graphical client from the same computer to check kids in and out. It sounds like the server version of Ubuntu installs many of the prerequisites for koha, but I still want all the user friendly GUI stuff too. Which version do I use?
[03:13] <vem0m> kk :)
[03:13] <snoops> kordo there is, but requires patience and getting to understand different ways of doing things.. takes a bit of time, and in my opinion is well worth it in the long run
[03:13] <kordo> well this pages are not well written
[03:13] <Usunny> !windows
[03:13] <ubotu> For help with Microsoft windows, please visit ##windows or your nearest mental health institute. Also see http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 - !equivalents - http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm
[03:13] <Usunny> lol
[03:13] <vem0m> workstation is more for a desktop based setting
[03:14] <cyberslug> JackDeth_, In my experience, linux programs are fairly usable althroughout the distributions. The only thing that really differs is an occasional directory structure deviation. I would hate for this to be the one case out, but meh. Also - Ubuntu is very much based on Debian - so you should be fine
[03:14] <vem0m> and debian is linux
[03:14] <vem0m> hehe
[03:14] <snoops> JackDeth_ if koha is in the ubuntu repositories (I'm pretty sure it is), then you can just do from terminal "sudo apt-get install koha" or find koha in synaptic (provided you've got universal and multiverse repositories added).
[03:15] <kordo> I'm starting to hate really serious Linux
[03:15] <cyberslug> JackDeth_, Both can be updated to include exactly the same pacakges (workstation and server), and so all that differs is what is on the install cd :)
[03:15] <cyberslug> kordo: Why?
[03:15] <kordo> well,any1 read Slackware help for fdisk
[03:15] <vem0m> yea that and resouce management and usage of either
[03:15] <vem0m> i use kbuntu
[03:15] <vem0m> kubuntu*
[03:15] <kordo> doesn't even help for nothing
[03:16] <n0k|a> fdisk is usefull\
[03:16] <kordo> i didnt istall Slackware bacause of fdisk
[03:16] <kordo> only errors
[03:16] <kordo> and can't split hard drive
[03:16] <kordo> and make swap
[03:16] <BlueEagle> kordo: sure it can.
[03:16] <sundude90> bye see yall
[03:17] <vem0m> ubuntu is best and fastest easiest to learn distro i have found i have tried 4
[03:17] <cyberslug> Bye!
[03:17] <BlueEagle> vem0m: good for you! :)
[03:17] <n0k|a> kordo, try FreeBSD
[03:17] <kordo> well,it's not a help for fdisk available
[03:17] <vem0m> lol blueeagle
[03:17] <BlueEagle> kordo: just type ? or h at the prompt
[03:17] <kordo> yeah,why,to hate another OS
[03:18] <JackDeth_> Does anyone have a good resource for learning the basics of navigating Linux using command line and how the whole directory structure works in relation to, say, Windows? Any good material with frames of reference between the two?
[03:18] <kordo> just it is so easy for you sinse you are advansed users
[03:18] <n0k|a> yeah
[03:18] <sundude90> cyberslug THANKS FOR THE BYE!
[03:18] <vem0m> well i dunno but i usally find heap on goole
[03:18] <n0k|a> and how do you think I got that way
[03:18] <n0k|a> complaining?
[03:18] <bthornton> Does 'hdparm' usable with SATA drives, or just IDE?
[03:18] <vem0m> google*
[03:18] <bthornton> *Is , not "does"
[03:18] <BlueEagle> jackdeth_: Are you at all familiar with the windows command prompt?
[03:18] <n0k|a> JackDeth_, any specific questions?
[03:18] <cyberslug> sundude90, np :P
[03:18] <kordo> didnt even 1 of you had the same problems with Linux?
[03:18] <useename> JackDeth_: the *nix file system is a single tree, starting at /
[03:19] <zcat[1] > http://www.koha.rwjr.com/ -- koha for Windows :)
[03:19] <n0k|a> kordo, no problemsat all
[03:19] <sundude90> NP?
[03:19] <useename> JackDeth_: you can learn about the commands pwd, ls, dir, cd, pushd, popd, cp, mv
[03:19] <kordo> I doubt it
[03:19] <n0k|a> it's true
[03:19] <zcat[1] > .. and it's not in the ubuntu repos. I checked :( Probably not to hard to install under ubuntu though.
[03:19] <kordo> no way nobody has a problems
[03:19] <useename> JackDeth_: just type "man <command>" in your terminal
[03:19] <Usunny> kordo I don't get it. thers a perfectly fine manual, pdf, html @ ubuntu.com why not just read the damn thing?
[03:20] <n0k|a> I've installed many Linux and BSD server with fdisk, and no troubles
[03:20] <kordo> cuz it doesnt help
[03:20] <Ghost_Printer> Kordo the only problem is between your chair and your keyboard
[03:20] <Usunny> sure it does
[03:20] <] GoldenDragon> when installing pcsx through synaptec and trying to enter command "pcsx" in terminal i get the error "line 31: lndir: command not found"
[03:20] <BlueEagle> jackdeth_: http://www.freeos.com/articles/3102/ looks comprehencive.
[03:20] <Blazeix> kordo, what problems did you have?
[03:20] <Kyral> !pastebin
[03:20] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[03:20] <n0k|a> btw, with apt/synatic, is there a way to save state?
[03:21] <BlueEagle> jackdeth_: that is if you're familiar with 'cd', 'cp', 'mv' and so on and so forth. You might want to install mc to help navigate.
[03:21] <kordo> do i have to tell for 1000 time that i cant install a thing in Linux
[03:21] <n0k|a> so you save a list of all installed programs, so you can install onto other computers?
[03:21] <kordo> what u gonna tell me now
[03:21] <kordo> Go read

[03:22] <kordo> yes,only thing i have installed
[03:22] <cyberslug> kordo, What do you mean you cannot install? Do you mean that you cannot compile, or that you cannot use the apt-get system, or what?
[03:22] <WarOfAttrition> TFMS
[03:22] <vem0m> Kordo PM
[03:22] <useename> n0k|a: you can try dpkg --get-selections
[03:23] <useename> is what I meant
[03:23] <Dr_Willis> ya could hit alt-f2 and type 'gnome-terminal'
[03:23] <kordo> i cannot get help
[03:23] <kordo> i am a new in linux
[03:23] <vem0m> talk to em in PM

[03:24] <useename> is what I meant
[03:24] <n0k|a> useename, goto tools, privacy
[03:24] <n0k|a> and you can block people there
[03:24] <Blazeix> Kordo, have you gone to www.ubuntuforums.org? Ubuntu has a very useful forum.
[03:24] <useename> the X resize and rotate extension, IIRC
[03:24] <rixth> useename, thanks!
[03:24] <ToHellWithGA> is there a tool to easily convert windows/dos .txt files into appropriate character encoding that a terminal can handle
[03:24] <kordo> yeah,rigth
[03:24] <snoops> kordo people are willing to teach, but you need to be patient and willing to learn new things..
[03:24] <danc3> kordo: what do you need help with?
[03:24] <useename> tools, privacy only shows my AIM account, not the IRC one
[03:24] <kordo> u can't help me in chat,what about forum
[03:25] <useename> I tried "\ignore"
[03:25] <ToHellWithGA> when i cat files with some accented characters those characters appear as
[03:25] <useename> and "/ignore"
[03:25] <kordo> with install
[03:25] <Dr_Willis> ToHellWithGA,  dozens of them.  ya need to translate the cr/lf format of dos to just the cr format of unix.  there are (dos2unix) and (unix2dos) commands that i rember also.
[03:25] <foxiness> i want to try this " http://users.utu.fi/ljtaim/dapper-improvments.php ",but before start doing that i want to know what happen with ppl who test this stuff "thank you"
[03:25] <danc3> kordo: what do you need help with on the install?
[03:25] <ToHellWithGA> Dr_Willis: it's deeper than that
[03:25] <vem0m> in a chat with them click block at bottom o chat window
[03:25] <kordo> vlc
[03:25] <danc3> vlc?
[03:25] <vem0m> hang on
[03:25] <Dr_Willis> ToHellWithGA,  :()
[03:25] <rixth> How can I find out what my currect display is?
[03:25] <ToHellWithGA> cr/lf to cr is an easy fix i can implement in my scripts
[03:25] <kordo> valknut
[03:26] <kordo> other p2p for linux
[03:26] <danc3> kordo: if you're not going to speak in sentences I can understand, I can't help you
[03:26] <kordo> well,this is it,i dont know how to install them
[03:26] <vem0m> VLC Media Player
[03:26] <subzone> just /ignore kordo. he doesn't appreciate people here that help him.
[03:27] <vem0m> ?
[03:27] <WarOfAttrition> useename: might as well use a better irc client
[03:27] <ToHellWithGA> Dr_Willis: http://thestonepedo.pastebin.ca/78408
[03:27] <snoops> dance vlc is a media player. Kordo can't play mp3 files and videos etc.. links have been sent on setting up restricted formats.. to no avail.
[03:27] <cyberslug> kordo, What do you want to install?
[03:27] <vem0m> hmmmmmm
[03:27] <arapehl> What the heck is /dev/hdb and /dev/hdc?
[03:27] <danc3> snoops: lol, ok
[03:27] <kordo> offffffff
[03:27] <vem0m> heh i had issues with mp3
[03:27] <ToHellWithGA> arapehl: those are IDE devices
[03:27] <vem0m> i had to get the xine crap
[03:27] <cyberslug> arapehl, Do you have multiple harddrives?
[03:28] <mark_> anyone out here with wifi experience?
[03:28] <kordo> i don't know anymore,just-dc++ for linux let's say
[03:28] <arapehl> cyberslug: I've got two CD drives... a CD-ROM and a CD-RW and neither work :(
[03:28] <JackDeth_> yes
[03:28] <WarOfAttrition> get fluendo then you can play mp3, search fluendo in the packages
[03:28] <mark_> I have an iBook g4 here with a bxm4306 wifi card
[03:28] <ToHellWithGA> arapehl: i think it's part of linux's HAL to call things on your IDE buses hda hdb hdc hdd... just like my sata drives are sda sdb sdc... (which i think applies to both SATA and SCSI iirc)
[03:28] <vem0m> sudo apt-get install Programorneededfilehere
[03:28] <arapehl> cyberslug: I'm trying to debug the problem as best as a linux noob can and I've tracked down my cdrom and cdrw symlinks to those.
[03:28] <mark_> it associates with my wireless acces point
[03:29] <cyberslug> arapehl, That is strange...
[03:29] <mark_> but it refuses to get an ip
[03:29] <James_> hmm, I tried writing a new dapper cd and I still get this error where it hangs at "booting the kernel" on the live cd and installer
[03:29] <useename> Dr_Willis : yes
[03:29] <ToHellWithGA> arapehl: let's look at /media
[03:29] <cyberslug> arapehl, Do the come up in: System -> Administration -> Disks?
[03:29] <arapehl> ToHellWithGA: is it possible that for some reason something is broken in the way it identifies my drives?
[03:29] <vem0m> u sure DHCP is working mark?
[03:29] <ToHellWithGA> arapehl: ls /media/
[03:29] <useename> Dr_Willis : oh, sorry, no, probably because I have lots of repositories
[03:29] <Tommy2k4>  Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in /var/www/config.inc.php on line 4
[03:29] <ToHellWithGA> which folders exist in /media?
[03:29] <arapehl> ToHellWithGA: checking
[03:29] <Tommy2k4> why would that happen when phpmyadmin works fine
[03:29] <James_> could try a new cd drive i guess, but it worked fine with knoppix/dsl
[03:30] <arapehl> ToHellWithGA: cdrom and cdrom0 (though they're both different colors)
[03:30] <mark_> vem0m, I'm quite new to wireless
[03:30] <mark_> I never needed it
[03:30] <snoops> kordo if you'd like me to private message you on a few of the basics in linux I'd be happy to?
[03:30] <vem0m> james it might be due to the kernel loading a hardware support driver and crashing due to a device problem on your end
[03:30] <arapehl> cyberslug: Uhm, what do you mean?
[03:30] <tach00> is there a channel for blag?
[03:30] <ToHellWithGA> arapehl: now look at your /etc/fstab.  "cat /etc/fstab"
[03:30] <arapehl> cyberslug: hang on checking
[03:30] <mark_> but dhcp is something I'm quite comfortable with
[03:30] <Dr_Willis> useename,  lol :P
[03:30] <James_> ven0m, ah, i see....hmm
[03:30] <vem0m> check and make sure its enable mark
[03:30] <Dr_Willis> useename,  thats what im not sure of. I was thinkign the first install - it even asked to add the other repos
[03:30] <modern> I have dapper up and running and realized that I have a non smp kernel running. When I load up a new kernel (smp) I get to the login screen and I have no mouse or keyboard control. Anyone know how to fix this?
[03:31] <vem0m> i had that problem with mandriva linux
[03:31] <mark_> vem0m, I can start a dhcp client, but it does nothing
[03:31] <ToHellWithGA> arapehl: when i do cat /etc/fstab i get (among other lines) "/dev/hdc        /media/dvdrw    udf,iso9660 user,noauto                 0   0"
[03:31] <vem0m> it failed on kernel load
[03:31] <cyberslug> arapehl, Also, you might want to do what ToHellWithGA said: ls /media ... That will show you all the directories (and files) in the folder /media
[03:31] <useename> dr_willis: http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=vlc&searchon=names&subword=1&version=dapper&release=all

[03:31] <BlueEagle> jackdeth_: http://www.lowfatlinux.com/linux-files.html also looks useful
[03:31] <ToHellWithGA> arapehl: if you'd like to get out of this crowded channel i could consult with you in PM and then if we can't solve the problem you could always return

[03:32] <mark_> vem0m, I know how dhcp works, I'm just wondering what else could be wrong
[03:32] <ToHellWithGA> that is definitely pastebin worthy
[03:32] <mark_> or where dhcp and the wireless hardware interact
[03:32] <vem0m> have u searched the forums?
[03:32] <mark_> yes
[03:32] <vem0m> might help mark
[03:32] <vem0m> hmmm
[03:32] <JackDeth_> Sorry gang. Had a child-related emergency to attend to...   ;-)
[03:32] <kordo> 5.4 must be
[03:32] <JackDeth_> I didn't know there was a koha for Windows. Thanks cat!
[03:32] <vans> somebody  install ubuntu breezy in sony VAIO FJ 270??
[03:33] <vem0m> is linux picking up DHCP support?
[03:33] <cyberslug> arapehl, Unfortunately I do not have time to sort out your problem ... Good Luck!
[03:33] <JackDeth_> However, I also planned on installing Zimbra on this same computer so would still need Linux anyway.
[03:33] <vem0m> try the newest 6.06
[03:33] <CrimsonScythe> hi guys. i'm going to use linux on my desktop in my new job (yay!), and i was wondering if anybody have experience with both gentoo and (k)ubuntu. which is the most convenient for maintenance in a job setting?
[03:33] <vem0m> kordo as that version is a lil older
[03:33] <zcat[1] > windows is teh suck anyhow.. just letting you know all the options :)
[03:33] <JackDeth_> BlueEagle: What is mc?
[03:34] <kordo> well,dont expect me to handle the new 1
[03:34] <Tommy2k4>  Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in /var/www/config.inc.php on line 4
[03:34] <mark_> vem0m, I have perfect wired access
[03:34] <Tommy2k4> why would that happen when phpmyadmin works fine
[03:34] <cyberslug> Anyway - See you later!
[03:34] <danc3> kordo: we don't expect you to do anything
[03:34] <BlueEagle> jackdeth_: midnight commander. A clone of the all-popular norton commander
[03:34] <mark_> and some communication is happening between my wireless modem and the access point
[03:34] <BlueEagle> jackdeth_: It's a graphical filesystem browser for *nix.
[03:34] <cjones> can anyone help me configure wine?
[03:34] <kordo> i can get any help for that,what to say about new
[03:34] <vans> guy! which pavlkete need install for AGP nvidia 6600GT..
[03:34] <vem0m> wifi is still newly supported in linux i don't use it i am just throwing ideas out there
[03:34] <vans> cjones, tell me
[03:34] <mark_> ok, thx anyway
[03:35] <technel> Ok, so I went into the HP bios and I did a "Reset Options to Defaults". Now when I boot up I get the GRUB boot loader (I have a Win/Linux dual boot), it tells me that the partition doesn't exist, no matter what I select. What got messed up and how do I fix it?
[03:35] <kordo> I quit
[03:35] <vans> cjones,  i have wine workon properly
[03:35] <vem0m> Kordo try upgrading to version 6.06 of ubuntu
[03:35] <mark_> anyone who could help me get my wireless working?
[03:35] <James_> ven0m: When i try to boot it into recovery more, it stops on: "ACPI: Looking for DSDT ... not found!"
[03:35] <kordo> why?
[03:35] <James_> ven0m: if that helps...
[03:35] <zcat[1] > vans: apt-get install nvidia-glx
[03:35] <mark_> ibook g4, bcm4306 chipset
[03:35] <zcat[1] > !nvidia
[03:35] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your monitor, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:35] <vem0m> might work better for ya
[03:35] <kordo> i still wont understand
[03:35] <cjones> vans i wont to run a game/programe called magic online but all i can to work in wine is notepad
[03:35] <mark_> iwlist eth0 scan shows me it sees my access point
[03:35] <vem0m> do a search sorry we told u how
[03:35] <vans> zcat[1] , yes,,, but not work,,,try to nvidia-setting, nivida-;legacy,,
[03:36] <danc3> kordo: why don't you just go back to windoze, then?
[03:36] <ssuehr> heh
[03:36] <Dr_Willis> about all the docs and guides are now being updated for the dapper release.. which is  6.06
[03:36] <ssuehr> here we go again
[03:36] <Dr_Willis> :)
[03:36] <kordo> can u at least tell me how to erase the linux partition and not lose windows folders
[03:36] <zcat[1] > kordo: if you are already familiar with windows and have no particular need to migrate, you might be better off staying with windows
[03:36] <Dr_Willis> or install the latest dapper. that way we can be on the same 'level ground' :)
[03:36] <mark_> I can associate with my access point, but that is everything it seems
[03:36] <kordo> well,i didnt expected linux users to tell me to go top windows
[03:36] <mark_> any suggestions on how to troubleshoot
[03:37] <kordo> but u all say it so
[03:37] <zcat[1] > kordo: just reinstall windows, when it gets to partitioning remove everything that's not an NTFS or FAT filesystem
[03:37] <kordo> well
[03:37] <Dr_Willis> kordo,  get that ubuntu book when it comes out in the bookstores. :P
[03:37] <mark_> kordo, I haven't heard what your problem is exactly
[03:37] <vans> cjones, try instal    wine "program.exe" in .wine/program files, etc...and them... run the program   wine .wine/progra,,,/etc/etc/xxx,exe
[03:37] <ssuehr> yeah, it's all our fault.  it has nothing to do with the fact that you don't take any of our suggestions.
[03:37] <zcat[1] > kordo: we tried to help.. you seem to have trouble understanding what you're told.
[03:37] <kordo> i am afraid it doesnt recognize non-NTFS
[03:37] <danc3> kordo: format c: /u /y
[03:37] <ardchoille> How do I put an app launcher on the xfce desktop?
[03:38] <kordo> u didnt
[03:38] <vem0m> kordo search the forums u shall find what u seek
[03:38] <kordo> u give me some links only
[03:38] <zcat[1] > windows will know if the filesystem isn't NTFS and can remove and reformat it, even if it can't read it.
[03:38] <vem0m> i found everything i needed so far there
[03:38] <kordo> and tell me to go to windows
[03:38] <kordo> only that u did
[03:38] <cjones> vans thanks ill give it a try
[03:38] <vem0m> this is 2nd day using ubuntu also all the info i needed was on the forums
[03:38] <vans> cjones, goog luck!
[03:38] <kordo> no1 told me how to install anything
[03:39] <ssuehr> yes, they did kordo
[03:39] <Dr_Willis> kordo,  they also told you to use the latest ubuntu, now that we have extabilished the fact you are using   version 5.4
[03:39] <zcat[1] > the links describe how to do what you want.  No point in letting the troll get to you.
[03:39] <abstractism> hello
[03:39] <vans> cjones, remember the path of you Windowd emolatur     /~user/.wine/......
[03:39] <kordo> i told u i did
[03:39] <Dr_Willis> kordo,  ya could try 'alt-f2' then run the command 'sudo apt-get install vlc'
[03:39] <danc3> BlueEagle: true dat
[03:39] <kordo> and download software
[03:39] <vem0m> yep i said same
[03:39] <ssuehr> anyone else think that kordo is just here to annoy and really doesn't have any problem at all?
[03:39] <danc3> kordo: stick to windoze
[03:39] <subzone> kordo: this is not a paid-support room where people here MUST help you. roll back to your room and sleep.

[03:40] <kordo> Is this Linux society?
[03:40] <BlueEagle> kordo: If you want to remove linux and recover the space for use with windows you simply fire up fdisk in windows and erase the partitions on which you installed linux.  Why should we look things up in the manual and copy it here when teaching you how to use the manual will help you in so many more ways?

[03:41] <mark_> abstractism, sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you any further
[03:42] <Dr_Willis> Then realize you are using a year old out of date install. :)
[03:42] <mark_> or at least not much
[03:42] <Dr_Willis> abstractism,  hard core! :)
[03:42] <kordo> 'alt-f2' then run the command 'sudo apt-get install vlc'
[03:42] <kordo> doesnt work
[03:42] <illusin1> Anyone have any suggestions on how to get dual screens to "dock" windows as opposed to having a virtual "2600x1024" type resolution? e.g. two windows to handle separate dockings
[03:42] <BlueEagle> kordo: no windows folders reside on any linux partitions (uless you've moved them over after installing linux)
[03:42] <vem0m> lol what does it say?
[03:42] <abstractism> well, I'll try again and post results and such of what happens
[03:42] <mark_> abstractism, what happens when you insert the cd
[03:42] <kordo> cuz i told u this manuals are for at least advanced users
[03:42] <mark_> ?
[03:42] <ardchoille> kordo: are you trying to install vlc?

[03:44] <] GoldenDragon> after installing pcsx through synaptec and trying to enter command "pcsx" in terminal i get the error "line 31: lndir: command not found"
[03:44] <BlueEagle> kordo: ok, let's take this from the top: To install applications using a graphical interface use synaptic or adept or the other application installer that I don't remember the name of.   Are you a complete moron, or what?
[03:45] <BlueEagle> kordo: Yes I do, because you will find "Adept" or "Synaptic" under the system->administration menu. It should even be labled "Package manager".
[03:45] <ardchoille> kordo: would you like to try and help?
[03:46] <vem0m> lmao
[03:46] <subzone> kordo: do us a flavour, leave this place.
[03:46] <zcat[1] > as ooposed to windows which is made BY morons... :)
[03:46] <Kibou> hehe
[03:46] <Dr_Willis> heh heh
[03:46] <WarOfAttrition> I don't know what's worse. trolls, or people who fall for trolls
[03:46] <kordo> No Linux society acts like this
[03:46] <technel> Ok, so I went into the HP bios and I did a "Reset Options to Defaults". Now when I boot up I get the GRUB boot loader (I have a Win/Linux dual boot), it tells me that the partition doesn't exist, no matter what I select. What got messed up and how do I fix it?
[03:46] <danc3> kordo: STFU
[03:46] <meheren> is there a way to have coloured command line?
[03:46] <BlueEagle> danc3: Please do not harm him. Yes, he is a n00b and yes I would prefer it if he was a newbie, but trolling back at him won't make him learn anything at all.
[03:47] <KyoLaptop1> Hey, someone says he was banned without ever having been in here
[03:47] <kordo> u r just linux users,not society
[03:47] <KyoLaptop1> nick = winner
[03:47] <vem0m> no person using linux is so unwilling to read and learn as u are kordo
[03:47] <ardchoille> kordo: I have asked you three times if you want me to help you. Do you want some help with your problem?!?
[03:47] <hyphenated> technel: you probably changed the drive mode from LBA to CHS
[03:47] <KyoLaptop1> can an Op PM him about it please?
[03:47] <danc3> BlueEagle: yeah ok
[03:47] <] GoldenDragon> after installing pcsx through synaptec and trying to enter command "pcsx" in terminal i get the error "line 31: lndir: command not found" anyone got pcsx working on ubuntu before?
[03:47] <abstractism> actually this CD is acting funky
[03:47] <snoops> technel do you have other hdd's on that pc?
[03:47] <BlueEagle> danc3: Thank you.
[03:47] <GaiaX11> Why are people sending kordo away? Is that fair?
[03:47] <technel> snoops: Yes, two hard drives
[03:47] <kordo> and i can tell u if i knew how to use Linux,i would be able to explain
[03:47] <BlueEagle> kordo: Now, have you found synaptic in the menu yet?
[03:47] <technel> hyphenated: So I could change that back in the BIOS?
[03:47] <snoops> technel grub is probably pointing to the wrong hdd..
[03:47] <Dr_Willis> GaiaX11,  how long you been watching this go  on?  its going on like 20 hrs now.
[03:48] <vem0m> I AM ONLY AT DAY 2 OF USING LINUX!
[03:48] <hyphenated> technel: yeah. you should have a choice between 'Auto', 'CHS', 'LBA' or something
[03:48] <technel> snoops: But it worked fine before. GRUB booted up the partitions perfectly until I defaulted the settings
[03:48] <danc3> GaiaX11: did you just wake up or something?
[03:48] <GaiaX11> Dr_Willis, What?
[03:48] <vem0m> its not hard just READ!
[03:48] <technel> hyphenated: And I want LBA?
[03:48] <kordo> i did it 3 hours ago,so what?
[03:48] <hyphenated> technel: usually, yeah
[03:48] <KyoLaptop1> wait a sec
[03:48] <vem0m> READ KORDO
[03:48] <abstractism> actually, I have a different problem now ;)
[03:48] <KyoLaptop1> Why did you guys ban @silenceisdefeat.org ?
[03:48] <technel> hyphenated: Ok, let me go try and I will let you know if it works. Thanks!
[03:48] <snoops> ah technel, k guess you should follow hyphenated's suggestions, sorry :)
[03:48] <vem0m> u may learn to fix your problem
[03:48] <kordo> i need to install programs and do sometnig with this OS
[03:48] <Kibou> he's going for a troll marathon
[03:48] <meheren> is there a way to colourize ur terminal?
[03:48] <KyoLaptop1> the hell did they do to you guys?
[03:48] <looksaus> anyone out here who could help me diagnose a problem with wireless?
[03:48] <WarOfAttrition> because @silenceisdefeat.org sucks
[03:48] <cyphase> kordo, what are you having trouble with?
[03:49] <vem0m> READ that is how u learn to install and USE THIS os
[03:49] <kordo> cant watch video,listen to music,use p2p programs
[03:49] <cyphase> i didn't see..
[03:49] <danc3> meheren: yes there is
[03:49] <cyphase> kordo, which p2p programs?
[03:49] <meheren> gentoo has a cloured terminal (red name of computer blue the filepath)
[03:49] <BlueEagle> kordo: If you are talking to me it would greatly help if you prefixed the line with "blueeagle:". That way it highlights in my IRC client.
[03:49] <kordo> eMule,DC++
[03:49] <meheren> danc3, how?
[03:49] <KyoLaptop1> are there any ops in the channel right now?
[03:49] <danc3> meheren: google "bash color prompt"
[03:49] <ssuehr> yet another attempt
[03:49] <vem0m> use amule
[03:49] <cyphase> kordo, try installing gtk-gnutella
[03:49] <BlueEagle> kordo: Now after starting synaptic you will get a nice interface that will list all packages that are availible to you in your active repositories.
[03:49] <vem0m> instead of emule
[03:49] <kordo> well Blue,i dont know how
[03:49] <nverhaar> im having problems with Ubuntu and IPTABLES. I have allowed MASQUERADE'ing for all outgoing traffic on ETH1 and attempting to transfer files to/from an external FTP on port 1111 and i keep getting 426 CONNECTION CLOSED errors at seemingly random times. I setup an IPCop box and tried the same thing and it worked flawlessly. Any ideas?
[03:49] <zcat[1] > ssuehr: you mean another successfull troll from kordo.. ?
[03:49] <meheren> danc3, ok
[03:50] <james__> thanks all for your help anyway (but i found the solution in the forum in the end :)
[03:50] <BlueEagle> kordo: just type bluee and hit TAB that will complete the nick. :)
[03:50] <GaiaX11> danc3, Dr_Willis, why are people angry with kordo? I want to understand that.
[03:50] <abstractism> it reads the disc but now I can't get at the files
[03:50] <Kibou> BlueEagle: he refused to get synapitc 2 hours ago already
[03:50] <abstractism> there's data and audio tracks on here
[03:50] <danc3> GaiaX11: because he's been offered the solution to his problems, but refuses to listen, or even try
[03:50] <kordo> BlueEagle, yeah,it works
[03:50] <BlueEagle> kibou: No point in giving up on him yet. :)
[03:50] <vem0m> kordo u are now ignored for being not only stupid but annoying
[03:50] <BlueEagle> kibou: So you've got synaptic up and running?
[03:50] <KyoLaptop1> hundreds of people were banned for no reason, come on
[03:50] <zcat[1] > GaiaX11: because he asks questions and then utterly, totally fails to follow any of the replies.
[03:51] <cyphase> kordo: as far as media, run this command..
[03:51] <ssuehr> nverhaar, it's not a ftp port issue, is it?  as in, use 'passive' for the xfer?
[03:51] <hyphenated> !ops

[03:51] <Dr_Willis> GaiaX11,  hes been going on for about Hmm 20 hrs now.. demands help then dosent listen,  then rants about how we suck
[03:51] <Kibou> kibou != kordo
[03:51] <seawolf_> sheesh, these questions and kordo's ignorance are driving me to the edge of insansity, back to sanity
[03:51] <kordo> Instead all helping,u are all united against me,Society of Linux

[03:51] <danc3> yes!
[03:51] <vem0m> everyone type /ignore kordo
[03:51] <Dr_Willis> Or coruse Now it comes out hes using Ubuntu 5.4 (i think)
[03:51] <vem0m> no more kordo
[03:51] <GaiaX11> All right!
[03:51] <BlueEagle> kibou: I do apoligize. I am too lazy with my nick completer. :)
[03:51] <WarOfAttrition> 100s? as long as it's not 1000s it's fine
[03:51] <Dr_Willis> so of course none of the guides/docs/ apply any more.
[03:51] <hyphenated> gnomefreak: while you're at it, you could probably help KyoLaptop1 out
[03:51] <BlueEagle> kordo: So you've got synaptic up and running?
[03:51] <vem0m> its been known he refuses to upgrade
[03:51] <Kibou> :P
[03:51] <useename> vem0m: that doesn't work because I'm using Gaim
[03:51] <] GoldenDragon> after installing pcsx through synaptec and trying to enter command "pcsx" in terminal i get the error "line 31: lndir: command not found" anyone got pcsx working on ubuntu before?
[03:52] <useename> anyone know how to ignore a user in Gaim?
[03:52] <vem0m> sad i am using konversation
[03:52] <kordo> BlueEagle, yes,but it is not dc++ client on it
[03:52] <gnomefreak> what did he do
[03:52] <kitsuneofdoom> I am trying to get ATI accelerated graphics to work, I have an HP dv5000z
[03:52] <KyoLaptop1> Ok, gnomefreak (or any op who isn't afk), could you please unban @silenceisdefeat.org?
[03:52] <vem0m> brb
[03:52] <BlueEagle> kordo: Ok. Have you modefied the file called /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[03:52] <BlueEagle> !easyubuntu
[03:52] <GaiaX11> If he refuses to listen and to try, he wll not learn anything from here then. That's a pity!
[03:52] <ubotu> EasyUbuntu is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. For help with and discussion of easyubuntu please join #easyubuntu.
[03:52] <BlueEagle> hmm
[03:52] <KyoLaptop1> at least 200 people have been blocked from the channel due to that ban
[03:53] <BlueEagle> !source-o-matic
[03:53] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[03:53] <danc3> how can you regulars in here take this kind of punishment...?  This channel is absolutely painful.
[03:53] <Ghost_Printer> Kordo...people have tried to help you but your too damn lazy to do anything....you freakin troll
[03:53] <kitsuneofdoom> I am trying to get ATI accelerated graphics to work, I have an HP dv5000z, and when I load gdm using it, the computer crashes
[03:53] <WarOfAttrition> then they probably deserved it, that doesn't sound like any isp to me
[03:53] <kordo> BlueEagle, see why this sites cant help?What is this file to modifie
[03:53] <vem0m> kitsuneofdoom: hey PM i will help u with ATi
[03:53] <KyoLaptop1> WarOfAttrition.
[03:53] <gnomefreak> KyoLaptop1: tell him to join #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:53] <skavenge> danc3: its not usually this bad, most people wanting help are serious
[03:53] <KyoLaptop1> silenceisdefeat is a public access unix server
[03:53] <cyphase> sorry. i thought 3 lines was the limit
[03:53] <cyphase> my bad
[03:53] <WarOfAttrition> you mean a proxy?
[03:53] <danc3> can't take this place any longer
[03:54] <kordo> I am not lazy,just cant understand,u r talking with commands
[03:54] <KyoLaptop1> did I say proxy?
[03:54] <cyphase> ah, right. 3 lines on my screen isn't 3 lines on mine. doh
[03:54] <WarOfAttrition> well that's what it is if they're connecting through it
[03:54] <cyphase> yours*
[03:54] <zcat[1] > kordo: are you in ubuntu now?
[03:54] <gnomefreak> cyphase: no its cool
[03:54] <KyoLaptop1> WarOfAttrition, I suppose it could be used as a proxy, why?
[03:54] <KyoLaptop1> is that reason enough for a ban?
[03:55] <WarOfAttrition> this server doesn't allow proxies
[03:55] <cyphase> anyway, kordo..
[03:55] <kordo> still didn't try to format the linux part :)
[03:55] <KyoLaptop1> ah.
[03:55] <BlueEagle> kordo: To get a customized sources.list file please go to http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic and check fill in the form with "Dapper", and your architecture (should be i386), fill in the two-letter code for your country and check "Include updates" and "Include security updates" Then check off "Packages" for every repository that lists "Dapper" as a supported version.
[03:55] <cyphase> everyone here is volunteerting
[03:55] <cyphase> !patience
[03:55] <ubotu> The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[03:55] <KyoLaptop1> well, it isn't just a proxy.
[03:55] <BlueEagle> kordo: That will give you a sources list with your nearest mirror and all repositories.
[03:55] <KyoLaptop1> you donate a buck to get in, and it c-
[03:55] <Dr_Willis> BlueEagle,  i dont think hes using dapper.
[03:55] <KyoLaptop1> screw it, just visit silenceisdefeat.org for info
[03:55] <BlueEagle> dr_willis: Really?
[03:56] <zcat[1] > kordo: are you in ubuntu now? Do you know which is the bottom-left corner of your screen? Can you find the applications menu?
[03:56] <BlueEagle> kordo: Do you know if you're using dapper or breezy or hoary?
[03:56] <Dr_Willis> BlueEagle,  yes - that fact came out a while ago.. i think - hes using ubuntu 5.4  whatever that is.
[03:56] <zcat[1] > warty?
[03:56] <nalioth> KyoLaptop1: please join #ubuntu-offtopic for that
[03:56] <elkbuntu> no, hoary
[03:56] <NickGarvey> hoary?!
[03:56] <BlueEagle> 5.4 would be hoary I guess.
[03:57] <NickGarvey> !
[03:57] <WarOfAttrition> blame the scum that uses proxies for dos attacks
[03:57] <Dr_Willis> i always found the use of names - to be annoying. :)
[03:57] <gnomefreak> BlueEagle: hoary was 5.04
[03:57] <BlueEagle> warofattrition: blame the people that runs open proxies for people to run dos attacks trough. :)
[03:57] <KyoLaptop1> right
[03:57] <KyoLaptop1> even though you can't run your own programs in silenceisdefeat.org.
[03:58] <kordo> how do u download from this site?
[03:58] <KyoLaptop1> your logic fails, WarOfAttrition
[03:58] <BlueEagle> kordo: ok, mark off all that list "hoary" as supported version. Either that or you might want to upgrade for a number of reasons. One being that hoary is soon to be unsupported (if it's not already)
[03:58] <WarOfAttrition> do I make the server rules?
[03:58] <ardchoille> BlueEagle: Hoary is no longer supported
[03:58] <gnomefreak> KyoLaptop1: join #ubuntu-offtopic for that please
[03:59] <gnomefreak> ardchoille: yes it is
[03:59] <chespirito> what does /i686/soundtest.o mean?
[03:59] <gnomefreak> warty is no longer supported
[03:59] <ardchoille> gnomefreak: It is? ok, I stand corrected.
[03:59] <elkbuntu> 18 months is not up yet
[03:59] <gnomefreak> ardchoille: until oct
[03:59] <BlueEagle> kordo: You can copy and paste it.
[03:59] <ardchoille> gnomefreak: yeah, I must have been thinking about Warty
[03:59] <WarOfAttrition> either way, thanks to them, a webhost will charge you more for dos attack defense. thanks to scum
[04:00] <elkbuntu> WarOfAttrition, please take this to -offtopic
[04:00] <gnomefreak> WarOfAttrition: join #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:00] <BlueEagle> kordo: the easiest way is to open a terminal and run the command: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:00] <jorgeu> hi, i need help with locales in ubuntu 6 LTS. The locale configuration "dpkg-reconfigure locales" doesn't let me choose with locales i want, it just generate the locales already installed. Any idea?
[04:00] <ssuehr> kordo claims to have no terminal
[04:00] <BlueEagle> kordo: it will prompt for your password and open an editor with root privileges.
[04:00] <kordo> How are u even working with that Linux?
[04:00] <technel> hyphenated: I couldn't find what you were referring to. I got a more detailed error though: "Could not find partition   root (hd0,2)   Error 22: No such partition" perhaps that ISN'T the right partition...hd0,2?
[04:00] <Kibou> haha
[04:01] <kordo> how to open terminal
[04:01] <zcat[1] > kordo: are you in ubuntu now? Do you know which is the bottom-left corner of your screen? Can you find the applications menu?
[04:01] <BlueEagle> kordo: It should be in your applications menu.
[04:01] <elkbuntu> kordo, applications > accessories > terminal
[04:01] <BlueEagle> kordo: or you can press ALT+F2 and type in gnome-terminal in the run dialog box.
[04:01] <snoops> technel, you can try others.. hd0 refers tot he first hdd, then ,n is the partition, starting at 0
[04:01] <kordo> there is no terminal there
[04:01] <zcat[1] > kordo: are you actually reading any of this or are you a troll script?
[04:01] <zcat[1] > kordo: are you in ubuntu now? Do you know which is the bottom-left corner of your screen? Can you find the applications menu?
[04:02] <snoops> technel so hd0,2 would be first hdd, third partition
[04:02] <jorgeu> hi, i need help with locales (i hate UTF-8) in ubuntu 6 LTS. The locale configuration "dpkg-reconfigure locales" doesn't let me choose with locales i want, it just generate the locales already installed. Any idea?
[04:02] <Kibou> isn't it the upper left by default?
[04:02] <technel> snoops: But why would have my BIOS effected GRUB? =\
[04:02] <ardchoille> zcat[1] : unless he moved his panel, Applications menu should be in the top left of the screen
[04:02] <elkbuntu> is anyone trying 1 on 1 in private dialog with him?
[04:02] <zcat[1] > sorry..
[04:02] <kordo> kordokuvas@ubuntu-kordokuvas:~$
[04:02] <gnomefreak> jorgeu: go to system>admin>language
[04:02] <ardchoille> elkbuntu: I tried, but I guess he ignored me
[04:02] <kordo> now what
[04:02] <chespirito> kordo has no terminal?
[04:02] <BlueEagle> elkbuntu: What would be the odds of him having registered with nickserv?
[04:02] <snoops> technel it could have changed the way hdd's were detected? switched them? I'm grasping at straws
[04:02] <ssuehr> yay, terminal!
[04:02] <elkbuntu> BlueEagle, good point
[04:03] <ardchoille> BlueEagle: heh, good point
[04:03] <snoops> technel are both hdd's detected in bios?
[04:03] <kordo> well it only comes out with Alt+F2
[04:03] <technel> snoops: Yep. I went to the drives section and it showed both of them.
[04:03] <BlueEagle> kordo: Good, now type: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:03] <technel> snoops: The settings appear to be the same as before (I had looked at them just before I did the reset)
[04:03] <BlueEagle> kordo: it will prompt you for your password and then open an editor
[04:03] <gnomefreak> BlueEagle: gksudo please
[04:03] <nalioth> BlueEagle: keep !gksudo and !kdesu in mind, please
[04:03] <chespirito> what exactly is kordo trying to do?
[04:03] <abstractism> kdesu, heh
[04:03] <technel> snoops: Perhaps my MBR is bad?
[04:04] <Dr_Willis> chespirito,  installing stuff on a 5.4 install
[04:04] <kordo> deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 5.04 _Hoary Hedgehog_ - Preview i386 Binary-1 (20050330)] / hoary main restricted
[04:04] <snoops> k technel.. well I guess I'd just try getting it to boot, so I'd mess with grub.. wait for it to load, then hit a key before it starts to load
[04:04] <kordo> now?
[04:04] <siriusnova> hello
[04:04] <siriusnova> can anyone help me with wpa_supplicant?
[04:04] <siriusnova> i need to compile it from source
[04:04] <chespirito> Dr_Willis: oh,ok...5.04,that looks strange
[04:04] <kordo> and how do you remember this commands?
[04:04] <nalioth> !compile > siriusnova
[04:04] <siriusnova> because i installed patched madwifi drivers
[04:04] <chespirito> but i have my own problems actually :)
[04:04] <Dr_Willis> chespirito,  and its so out of date now - its scary.
[04:04] <`daffodil> has anyone had any luck installing winXP under win4lin with Dapper?
[04:04] <technel> snoops: What do you mean hit a key before it starts to load?
[04:04] <siriusnova> nalioth - hmm ?
[04:04] <siriusnova> !compile
[04:04] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for a pre-built package first!)
[04:04] <Dr_Willis> how do we rember commands? its all logical.
[04:04] <nalioth> siriusnova: you have a PM
[04:04] <kordo> BlueEagle, it opened it
[04:04] <kordo> now?
[04:05] <BlueEagle> kordo: Now delete everything there exept for the line that reads: deb cdrom:[Ubuntu....
[04:05] <nalioth> siriusnova: that was unnecessary
[04:05] <snoops> then you can hit e, to edit the main line, and which partition, hdd it boots from technel.. I don't see how an mbr would be corrupted/edited from changing a bios setting.. umm grub gives you a count down before it tries to boot an os.. bit a key that isn't enter before than to stop the countdown
[04:05] <ssuehr> daffodil, I've not tried but I've had great luck with VMWare workstation under Linux, running a WinXP client on the Linux host.
[04:05] <ardchoille> gnomefreak: how do I run nautilus with gksudo ?
[04:05] <nalioth> siriusnova: the bot has been changed to send factoids differently than before
[04:05] <siriusnova> nalioth - i dont understand
[04:05] <gnomefreak> ardchoille: gksudo nautilus
[04:05] <siriusnova> ahh ok
[04:05] <kordo> BlueEagle, i did it
[04:05] <BlueEagle> kordo: Now have you been to the source-o-matic and chosen all repositories that are supported for hoary?
[04:05] <gnomefreak> ardchoille: not always a good idea btqw
[04:05] <gnomefreak> -q
[04:05] <ardchoille> gnomefreak: ahh, ok
[04:05] <kordo> yes
[04:05] <snoops> technel then hit e on the one you want to try and boot, and change the root line, trying different hd combinations.. I'm just grasping at straws since it's all so odd
[04:05] <kordo> they are not much
[04:06] <BlueEagle> kordo: Did you get the automatically generated sources.list in your browser?
[04:06] <siriusnova> that page doesnt really help me with wpasupplicant
