[17:33] <jack_spratt> noob-africa: so make sure realplayer is installed, and if that doesnt work try using FF3 instead of 2
[17:33] <noob-africa> am about to install realplayer
[17:33] <matti_> any idea of what to do, when i try to start NvTv I get an error like this: Fatal: No supported video card found.  I used the Envy installer to get the nvidia driver installed. any idea of how i can get it to "support" it? it works in XP
[17:33] <typoe> didas sorry you prolly need to find those intructions agin somewhere then, I dont know where other than trying various google searches or something
[17:34] <spiderfire> anyone done a custom livecd? is it supposed to say failed to read /proc, creating empty file?
[17:34] <jack_spratt> noob-africa: i stress that I dont endorse BBC, Realplayer, or proprietary software, and I dont use iplayer or BBC for those reasons, but if you want to thats your decision

[17:35] <Didas> genii, i will check it out. :) ty
[17:35] <noob-africa> jack_spratt: the realplayer is a bin file... any ideas how i install it? am a noob, remember?
[17:35] <kiuq> somebody can help me privately with installing the ubunto
[17:35] <jack_spratt> noob-africa: well BBC gets nearly 100% of their news from agencies like reuters, so you could try them or similar
[17:35] <pira> hey
[17:35] <pira> hallo
[17:35] <jack_spratt> noob-africa: didnt you isntall it from the repos?
[17:36] <typoe> kiuq I can come over to your place if you pay my travel expenses
[17:36] <ipx_laptop> I have 2 drives: 1 IDE, 1 SATA. Both have GRUB installed on them, but I only want to boot from the SATA-drive and remove grub from the IDE drive. Is this possible?
[17:36] <psyxious> Hello everyone, I am a college CS major, and im looking for a bit of guidance
[17:36] <ipx_laptop> When I have both harddrives in, it boots from IDE. When I remove the IDE-drive and insert only SATA, it boots from SATA correctly
[17:36] <noob-africa> jack_spratt: no... i did a direct download with firefox... should i use sudo apt-get instal realplayer?
[17:37] <jack_spratt> noob-africa: try http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/apr/03/zimbabwe1 (video and more links on zimbabwe)
[17:37] <jack_spratt> noob-africa: dont you like using the gui? (synaptic/aptitute)
[17:37] <typoe> psyxious ask a question
[17:37] <jack_spratt> noob-africa:im not sure the exact package name so maybe better to just do it in synaptic
[17:37] <jack_spratt> noob-africa: (get descriptions etc.)
[17:37] <noob-africa> jack_spratt: what's the command line for terminal for installing real player from the repos?
[17:38] <ipx_laptop> noob-africa: u can search by typing sudo apt-cache search *searchterm*
[17:38] <jack_spratt> noob-africa: possibly same as you wrote but with an extra 'l' on install :)
[17:38] <terminal> when i trying to install sql through terminal igot error could not found package
[17:38] <kindofabuzz> there is no realplayer on the repos
[17:38] <typoe> terminal: try mysql maybe
[17:39] <Raybrig> Hello, would anyone who is good with lilo, like to spare me a minute please ? feel free to PM
[17:39] <psyxious> Yes. I have learnt so far, -C++, java, and dr scheme., basically i want to begin contributing to the ubuntu community
[17:39] <code_kill> hey room

[17:39] <kindofabuzz> learnt?
[17:40] <noob-africa> jack_spratt: i have the realplayergold10.bin file downloaded... how do i install it?
[17:40] <typoe> psyxious step one: obtain a computer
[17:40] <terminal> typoe: igot d sam error
[17:40] <psyxious> pardon my english, im from puerto rico. Step 1. check
[17:40] <kindofabuzz> noob-africa: ./realplayergold10.bin
[17:40] <terminal> when i trying to install sql through terminal igot error could not found package
[17:40] <jack_spratt> noob-africa: well it should just run if it is correct for your OS, make it executabel by changing its properties (right click, permissions I think)
[17:41] <_Fallen> terminal: try mysql-server
[17:41] <balle> how do i get my labtop with gutsy to play audio through the soundcard and minijack
[17:41] <noob-africa> do i put it in its own folder?
[17:41] <noob-africa> i guess
[17:41] <jack_spratt> noob-africa: then just double click it, but its better to install from repos
[17:41] <kindofabuzz> jack_spratt: realplayer is not in the repos
[17:41] <typoe> psyxious download install file
[17:41] <bod_> noob-africa, if its the realpayer gold linux version its rubbish and ive never been able to get the windows version to play through wine,.,. but if you do manage it, let me know plz
[17:41] <Raybrig> Hello, would anyone who is good with lilo, like to spare me a minute please ? feel free to PM. Basically, i have a lilo.conf written which i have installed, and is the current "live" lilo on the boot drive, but when i reboot, it comes up with a kernel which i have not listed in the config at all.
[17:42] <jack_spratt> kindofabuzz: lol, ok, because its proprietary?
[17:42] <kindofabuzz> noob-africa: just use mplayer, covers almost anything
[17:42] <kindofabuzz> yeah
[17:42] <_Fallen> what happens if I install libc from hardy when having gutsy installed?
[17:42] <jack_spratt> kindofabuzz: not even in any of the other 'sections'?
[17:42] <psyxious> typoe: which? what do you mean?, i already have ubuntu running real nice
[17:42] <kindofabuzz> jack_spratt: i did a apt-cache search realplayer and nothing shows up
[17:42] <Pici> _Fallen: You have the potential to break every single application
[17:42] <code_kill> has anyone set up webcam for their system?
[17:42] <Pici> _Fallen: I highly reccomend NOT doing it.
[17:43] <typoe> psyxious oh, so where is your problem again?
[17:43] <jack_spratt> kindofabuzz: ok thanks ( im not running *buntu atm)

[17:43] <jack_spratt> noob-africa: did you manage to execute it?
[17:43] <kohwj> has kernel 2.6.22-14-generic been patched for vmsplice()?
[17:43] <_Fallen> Pici: thanks, thats what I wanted to hear. I need a new version of libcairo2, but thats only available in hardy :-/
[17:43] <dalek_> Anybody have a link to install the Dell Wireless n card with ubuntu
[17:43] <fuhreal_> when i use apt-get for fluxbox, why is it asking for the ubuntu cd instead of trying to use the repos?
[17:43] <jack_spratt> noob-africa: cant you find a .deb?
[17:43] <bod_> balle, i thought we got the soundcard working the other day?
[17:43] <code_kill> I just got spca5xx-source , installed just fine.
[17:43] <code_kill> but now what?
[17:43] <noob-africa> jack_spratt: no

[17:44] <Adantan_Alex> i was helping someone
[17:44] <bod_> my mistake sorry
[17:44] <Adantan_Alex> its ok :)
[17:44] <psyxious> I need someone to point me in the right direction, I want to begin 'developing' or contributing code towards Ubuntu and its apps, what channel should i join?
[17:44] <noob-africa> didnt u suggest i use mplayer@kindofabuzz?
[17:45] <bod_> !who | Adantan_Alex    then can i suggest this ;~)
[17:45] <kiuq> how my drivers can be NTFS AGAIN? i mean delete the ubuntu
[17:45] <ubotu> Adantan_Alex    then can i suggest this ;~): As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[17:45] <Adantan_Alex> bye all
[17:45] <kindofabuzz> noob-africa: yeah because it covers realplayer stuff and i thought what you wanted to listen to was rp format
[17:45] <kindofabuzz> i don't know how to add a radio station  though
[17:45] <typoe> psyxious depends what package(s) you are interested in, there is a list at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat
[17:46] <kindofabuzz> mplayer is a plugin

[17:46] <jack_spratt> kindofabuzz: the BBC has closed everything up, invented new cr@ppage etc., i dont think itll be that easy
[17:46] <Adantan_Alex> mistake with name.... its ok
[17:46] <Adantan_Alex> bye
[17:46] <noob-africa> jack_spratt: well, the realplayer site chose the .bin file for realplayer10gold saying it is the GTK version for linux
[17:46] <bod_> bye
[17:46] <balle> bod_ yea but not the sound card thing
[17:46] <balle> gotta go to the addic, secs..
[17:46] <kiuq> how my drivers can be NTFS AGAIN? i mean delete the ubuntu
[17:47] <jack_spratt> noob-africa: try http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSL2880883820080403 maybe for direct news and vids - the BBC do virtually no reporting of their own anyway - you wont be missing much
[17:47] <Pici> kiuq: Please rephrase your question
[17:47] <kindofabuzz> noob-africa: what is the radio link?
[17:47] <jack_spratt> noob-africa: but you havent managed to execute the bin?

[17:47] <Acxty> Hi guys, I have a problem trying to connect a netmos pci serial card may someone guide me on this?
[17:48] <Didas> hey who was the person who send me the link about the audio problem?
[17:48] <code_kill> sounds dumb, but how do i use my webcam ?
[17:48] <kindofabuzz> code_kill: plug it in?
[17:48] <code_kill> or configure from cmd
[17:48] <code_kill> lol
[17:48] <code_kill> it's pluged in, but what soft can i use it with
[17:48] <kindofabuzz> mine works just out of the box
[17:48] <noob-africa> jack_spratt: bbc swahili... i speak swahili
[17:48] <noob-africa> also
[17:49] <noob-africa> my native language
[17:49] <jack_spratt> noob-africa: ahh, ok
[17:49] <Tu13es> hm, my wifi card is getting named "wlan0_rename" for some reason, any ideas how to change it back to eth1?
[17:49] <kindofabuzz> code_kill: search synaptic for webcam
[17:49] <code_kill> no,no....i pluged it in, i'm using pidgen, so how do i use it when chatting?
[17:49] <eipipuz> Hello guys, could someone help me with an Apache2 problem? I'm getting "Failed to resolve server name for..." for an IP I don't even know
[17:50] <dalek_> when I freshly install ubuntu, is there anything I should run or update first?
[17:50] <dalek_> I can't seem to find my Dell wireless n card
[17:50] <Pici> !webcam > code_kill (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[17:50] <MrBumblebee> it's right on your desk
[17:50] <iositd> code_kill, pidgin doesn't support webcam iirc
[17:50] <bazhang> dalek_: there should be a bunch of updates waiting for you off the bat
[17:50] <genii> epitron: Does the IP start like: 169.254.x.x           or so?
[17:51] <eipipuz> genii, no its 200.20
[17:51] <bazhang> dalek_: what does lspci say about that card (just one line)
[17:51] <Didas> genii, the link you gave me was the instruction i originally used to get my sound working, and it worked this time as well, so thank you. :)
[17:51] <smallthunder> Hello people
[17:51] <genii> Didas: You're welcome :)
[17:52] <fuhreal_> is it normal for gnome to use 80%+ available ram?
[17:52] <mark__> can I have compiz fusion with Fluxbox?
[17:52] <eipipuz> the message says "or specify an explicit ServerName". I do have one. I have tried to with other names, with localhost, it doesn't seem to read that line
[17:52] <crdlb> mark__: compiz and fluxbox are both window managers
[17:52] <Who_> fuhreal: Gnome- or the whole system
[17:52] <plurt> fuhreal_: depends on how much ram you have :)
[17:52] <b4l74z4r> does xchat use the same font renderer as other ubuntu apps?
[17:52] <crdlb> you can only have on window manager
[17:53] <fuhreal_> plurt: 753
[17:53] <cyclonuts> hey folks, I am installing something from source, and by defaults it puts it's binaries in /usr/local/bin. I want them in /usr/bin. How can I change that?
[17:53] <fuhreal_> err 752mb
[17:53] <thoreauputic> fuhreal: run  free -m  and look at the buffers/cache
[17:53] <mark__> oh ok thanks crdlb
[17:53] <genii> eipipuz: Compare the ip against a possible one in /etc/apache2/ports.conf or an entry of name ServerName x.x.x.x in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf  or against the result of ifconfig
[17:53] <code_kill> once again.
[17:53] <erUSUL> b4l74z4r: yes afaik
[17:53] <code_kill> thank you very much
[17:53] <b4l74z4r> ok
[17:53] <node357a> cyclonuts: ./configure --prefix=/usr
[17:53] <iositd> fuhreal_, it depends on what you understand as "use". Actively it will probably use less (i hardly use more then 300 ever), but it caches a lot.
[17:54] <Who_> fuhreal: Linux tries to use a lot of the RAM to speed stuff up - it keeps a cache of things you might want soon/often
[17:54] <crdlb> cyclonuts: installing random software to /usr bad idea though
[17:54] <ddd_> hi!
[17:54] <b4l74z4r> cause i have the fonts in xchat set at sans regular 10 and they somehow look different from the same fonts in other apps
[17:54] <crdlb> is a bad idea*
[17:54] <dalek_> bazhang, bazhang, it says Broadcom Corporation BCM4328 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 03)
[17:54] <code_kill> see, i never had the need to us ewebcam in linux. but since recently, i'm saying no to windows compltely! so from now on only linux, so there for need to know these other things.  thanks for help:)
[17:54] <Who_> ddd_: hello
[17:54] <fuhreal_> so i have 257mb of cache ...
[17:54] <erUSUL> !broadcom | dalek_
[17:54] <ubotu> dalek_: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx
[17:54] <smallthunder> Hello people
[17:54] <Who_> fuhreal: could easily be so
[17:54] <fuhreal_> if needed, with the cache be freed automatically to run bigger apps ?
[17:54] <jack_spratt> noob-africa: maybe try:http://www.ipsinternational.org/africa/sw/?
[17:54] <cyclonuts> node357a: crdlb: thanks
[17:54] <Who_> smallthunder: Hi
[17:54] <thoreauputic> fuhreal_: yes
[17:55] <Who_> fuhreal: yes
[17:55] <tyler_d> my wireless password is not accepted I'm on 8.04?
[17:55] <cyclonuts> crdlb: this is trustworthy, thanks for the warning :)
[17:55] <fuhreal_> hrmm so maybe i won't "need" to instal lfluxbox after all ...
[17:55] <thoreauputic> fuhreal_: but fluxbox is nice anyway :)
[17:55] <Who_> fuhreal: is performance acceptable (it should be!)
[17:55] <erUSUL> !hardy | tyler_d
[17:55] <ubotu> tyler_d: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[17:55] <crdlb> cyclonuts: it's not about trustworthyness but cleanliness. /usr/local is in all the various paths to make it work as well as /usr
[17:56] <fuhreal_> Who_: it is so far.. but i haven't started using Jack very heavily yet
[17:56] <Who_> fuhreal: Not familiar with Jack - but I have 512mb RAM and it isn't _always_ sufficient. Do you have a swap partition?
[17:56] <fuhreal_> thoreauputic: it is nice but i just got all my stuff setup in gnome.. haha...
[17:56] <fuhreal_> Who_: yah i do
[17:57] <cyclonuts> crdlb: well why, when I install it in /usr/local, and I try to run the binary, it will not find it?
[17:57] <thoreauputic> fuhreal_: I don't think you'll have memory issues :)
[17:57] <crdlb> cyclonuts: the binary is in /usr/local/bin ?
[17:57] <kindofabuzz> i only have 768M of ram, my swap never gets touched
[17:57] <cyclonuts> crdlb: yes
[17:57] <fuhreal_> thoreauputic: with gnome? i fear i may  but i'm intalling fluxbox for now anyhow
[17:57] <crdlb> cyclonuts: you might need to restart your terminal as bash caches paths for you
[17:57] <fuhreal_> thanks for the help guys
[17:57] <eipipuz> genii, thanks it works!
[17:57] <arashO|o> hi guise. how to stop iptabales? /etc/init.d/iptabales stop dos not works: it said:  command not found
[17:58] <Who_> fuhreal_: one useful tip is that if everything goes wrong and you hear the disk constantly thrashing and the computer is not responsive, you can push ctrl+alt+F1 to go to virtual terminal 1, login there and kill something like firefox that uses much memory
[17:58] <erUSUL> arashO|o: how did you enabled iptables?
[17:58] <bazhang> arashO|o: perhaps you mean iptables
[17:58] <cyclonuts> crdlb: oh okay, let me try. I uninstalled but will reinstall nowish
[17:58] <genii> eipipuz: So you added the machine ip to ports.conf?
[17:58] <Who_> kindofbuzz: you use Firefox and still don't need swap? maybe my setup has issues somewhere else
[17:58] <fuhreal_> Who_: yah ... thanks for the tip

It feels like its lagging... I actually don't think it depends on the device itself since I’ve already tried a few and all behaved erratically... Anybody has a clue about what it could be and/or have experienced anything similar ?? Please let me know ^^ Thx a lot!!
[18:03] <te> i want to open X11 apps on my VPS
[18:03] <Nitro> a quick one. Is there any way to "refresh" the amount of storage on a disk?

[18:03] <erUSUL> Nitro: define "refresh"
[18:04] <MattzAtRapture> well i've still got to actually restore the hdd to the way it was once the data is all extracted but knowqing it can be saved is a huge weight off. thanks Who_ and everyone else
[18:04] <Nitro> erUSUL: well, term (and everything else) is saying that there's no space left on the drive. so I deleted some more.
[18:04] <erUSUL> Nitro: df -h
[18:04] <thoreauputic> te: that's why it's compalining about DISPLAY not being set
[18:04] <te> thoreauputic: how do i run it locally?
[18:04] <Nitro> thank you.
[18:04] <te> :X
[18:04] <thoreauputic> *complaining
[18:04] <te> sorry im a newb
[18:04] <erUSUL> Nitro: System>Admin>System Monitor
[18:04] <kohwj> has kernel 2.6.22-14-generic been patched for vmsplice()?
[18:04] <te> i dont want a whole desktop environment
[18:05] <te> i just want a basic x server
[18:05] <thoreauputic> te: umm - if you have  awindow manager running, X is running
[18:05] <te> thoreauputic: this is weird because i can run Kate and other GUI apps from my command line
[18:05] <te> but when i ssh out to my VPS
[18:05] <te> it doesn't work
[18:05] <te> does X need to be running on my VPS
[18:05] <Nitro> erUSUL: it's still complaining about there being no space left. (oh, and yes I already knew how to check the amount of data)
[18:05] <te> is that what you're telling me
[18:05] <johannix> sound problem: as a result of having no sound i kept trying to setup my sound card and now have multiple devices listed for the same card. how can i safely get rid of all the incarnations?
[18:05] <erUSUL> !enter | te
[18:05] <ubotu> te: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[18:06] <Nitro> erUSUL: I'm just having issues making the system "know it". since it appears to not know.
[18:06] <Nitro> I'll try a restart then
[18:06] <te> sorry erUSUL.  thoreauputic : basically i can run X apps locally, but the second i ssh out to my server and try to run xterm, it tells me xterm Xt error: Can't open display: localhost:0.0
[18:06] <bazhang> kohwj: yes long ago
[18:06] <iositd> te, there are some things you need to consider. Did you enable X forwarding, did you add -X on connecting?
[18:07] <thoreauputic> te: then try for example  startx /usr/bin/xterm
[18:07] <thoreauputic> te: or just xinit
[18:07] <jack_spratt> bah you try to help people and they run off
[18:07] <kohwj> bazhang: thanks
[18:07] <thoreauputic> then run ssh-X
[18:07] <thoreauputic> but without a window manager, your apps will just sit there
[18:07] <te> thoreauputic: iositd thanks ill that
[18:07] <iositd> jack_spratt, it's one of the risk you run when helping folks =)
[18:07] <jsanchez> algien abla español
[18:07] <te> iositd: how do i enable X forwarding, just by adding -X?
[18:07] <iositd> !es | jsanchez
[18:07] <ubotu> jsanchez: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda.
[18:08] <iositd> te, on the server you have to edit the ssh server settings.
[18:08] <jsanchez> vale
[18:08] <thoreauputic> te: I run remote X over ssh all the time - you don't need special stuff: ssh -X Just Works if X is running
[18:08] <jack_spratt> iositd: its crazy how theres 1200 people in here and people with simple questions still cant seem to get answers
[18:08] <thoreauputic> te: on Ubuntu anyway
[18:08] <te> thoreauputic: d'oh! X isn't running it doesn't look like
[18:08] <erUSUL> jack_spratt: fell free to provide them
[18:09] <thoreauputic> te: Well then ssh -X won't work :)
[18:09] <iositd> thoreauputic, forwarding X has to be enabled on the server otherwise it'll refuse.
[18:09] <erUSUL> feel*
[18:09] <te> thoreauputic: in fact it doesn't look like X is installed on my remote box -- what is the most basic barebones install of X11 I can install with apt-get?
[18:09] <iositd> te, if it isn't running, start it from remote.
[18:09] <te> x11-common?  something along those lines?
[18:09] <thoreauputic> iositd: yes, but on Ubuntu that is OK out of the box
[18:09] <kindofabuzz> te: you also have to make disallowtcp=false in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf
[18:09] <iositd> thoreauputic, i see.
[18:09] <te> kindofabuzz: thanks ill change that
[18:09] <thoreauputic> iositd: if he's connecting to something else, then of course that is an issue
[18:10] <johannix> anyone know about sound settings. woule really appreciate some help with this. I've tried the forum, but haven't gotten any response. I just want to clear the settings for my sound card so I can have a new go at it...
[18:10] <iositd> thoreauputic, it seems he's connecting from ubuntu to something else.
[18:10] <thoreauputic> iositd: or if the admin disabled it etc.
[18:10] <jack_spratt> erUSUL: ive been trying, but i've never used ubuntu and generally my knowledge isnt great. However i ve jsut been addressing two people in pvt from here so some progress at least (though one left just as we were getting close)
[18:10] <iositd> thoreauputic, and the list goes on =)
[18:10] <thoreauputic> iositd: no, it seems he doesn't have X running locally :)
[18:10] <te> no i have X running locally
[18:10] <iositd> thoreauputic, he doesn't have it runnign remotely is what i'm assuming (he has to install it there)
[18:10] <thoreauputic> te: so what are you connecting to ?
[18:10] <te> im running andLinux which is basically ubuntu for windows VMware kind of deal
[18:11] <te> im connecting to an ubuntu VPS
[18:11] <iositd> thoreauputic, most VPS's i've come across are a barebone install with openssh-server
[18:11] <thoreauputic> iositd: OK :) I guess I missed that aspect, thanks.
[18:12] <iositd> thoreauputic, we all miss something sometime. That's why we're never alone here helping someone.
[18:12] <te> so if i have an xserver running locally, and i can run "kate &" and it will pop up just fine
[18:13] <te> why can't i run xterm from my server
[18:13] <iositd> te, it's an x program, like the name suggests.
[18:13] <kitche> te: do you have X installed?
[18:13] <iositd> te, and make that remotely.
[18:13] <insomninja> editing files on a terminal that thinks it's a 80x50 but is a ~40x25 is a pain =_=
[18:13] <te> as in, is X installed remotely?
[18:14] <te> x11-common is installed remotely.
[18:14] <thoreauputic> te: if the remote machine doesn't have x libraries etc it won't run
[18:14] <rwycuff> te:just use ssh it will give you same terminal that xterm gives you
[18:14] <bra1> hi, does anybody know why my flash player on thing like you tube wont  go full screen without jolting?
[18:14] <te> what do i need to get basic X functionality, i dont want to load 1000000 libraries
[18:14] <johannix> please...how can i clear my ALSA settings. I've got four versions for the same card
[18:14] <roland> hello all
[18:14] <te> rwycuff: i want to run other GUI apps, not xterm, this is just a test application to see if i can get -X working
[18:15] <kitche> te: xserver-xorg
[18:15] <te> kitche: thanks
[18:15] <iositd> can i set a speed limit on apt?
[18:15] <rwycuff> johannix:you will have to you will have to unload the alsa modules manually
[18:15] <plurt> anybody else have a www.%u.com problem with firefox? how do I fix this?
[18:15] <roland> could some1 help me out with unmounting/mounting my drives!   i have 3 drives, one with Windows XP installed on it, and 2 other FAT32 drives... the windows xp drive and one of the fat drives, get mounted on startup! the thing is i wanna stop this! and just auto mount the 3d fat ALONE
[18:16] <stemount^> hi all, is anyone encountering issues with http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com APT mirror? (speed issues)
[18:16] <kitche> plurt what is the problem exactly?
[18:16] <rwycuff> te: so id this server headless or something to where yuou cant just turn monitor on and go
[18:16] <johannix> rwycuff: any guidance on that? where to look...what to do...
[18:16] <plurt> kitche: when firefox opens a page of it's own, like after an upgrade or so, it uses www.%u.com as link
[18:17] <stemount^> anyone encountering issues with speed with gb.archive.ubuntu.com /q me
[18:17] <te> rwycuff: yeah this is a headless server
[18:17] <rwycuff> johannix:there is always google but give me sec ill find sokmethign
[18:17] <kitche> plurt: might be due to how ubuntu's firefox is setup not sure though
[18:17] <johannix> rwycuff: thanks!
[18:17] <smithey93> anyone any idea when me and many others are having problems with the ubuntu update mirror for the uk?
[18:17] <rwycuff> te:ok and are you trying to access it like this through linux workstation or is it a windows box
[18:18] <IdleOne> smithey93: they might be uploading to the server wait a bit and try again later
[18:18] <Sinnerman> why do i need a loopback device? can i just delete it? i mean lo.
[18:18] <smithey93> its been like that for a few days IdleOne
[18:18] <IdleOne> smithey93: try using different servers.
[18:18] <bazhang> smithey93: try another mirror then
[18:19] <iositd> just to verify: 800 kilobits == 100KiB/s ?
[18:19] <smithey93> just a second ill try changeing it to the global mirror
[18:19] <Unter_> iositd: yes
[18:19] <iositd> Sinnerman, don't delete it. It's needed for certain local programs.
[18:19] <Unter_> 8 bits to a byte.
[18:19] <iositd> Unter_, thank you.
[18:19] <rwycuff> johannis:just lsmod find module and do modprobe -r adn then name and that would do it
[18:19] <Unter_> 1024 bytes to a kilobyte, 1024 kilobytes toa megabyte, etc....
[18:19] <iositd> Unter_, attempting to find a decent solution to my networking problem :-)
[18:19] <te> rwycuff: windows box, but this is a Linux vm
[18:20] <Sinnerman> iositd: hmm er ok.
[18:20] <smithey93> stemount - change your server on the config to ubuntu.virginmedia.com i just have and its pro
[18:20] <Unter_> iositd: im a network guy -- whats your issue?
[18:20] <te> rwycuff: i can't run xinit on the remote box, it doesn't know where localhost:0.0 is
[18:20] <te> xhost + says the same thing
[18:20] <johannix> rwycuff: that would just unload it that one time right?
[18:21] <johannix> rwycuff: meaning. once the machine restarts it would go live again
[18:21] <iositd> Unter_, well it's fairly simple. I'm using a wireless connection that is shared with 5 other ppl (some wired, some wlan) and from 6 in the evening till midnight i want to limit traffic downstream to about 100kbps to prevent draining the entire connection so i planned to use wondershaper for it.
[18:21] <te> rwycuff: XIO:  fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
[18:21] <Roland> any1 knows the Hyper terminal equivilant on Ubuntu?! i wanna connect to my cisco router..
[18:22] <Acxty> Hi, i have small problem. My computer don't have serial ports and I need them for a gprs modem. I buy a netmos pci serial card that has 1 parallel and 2 serial ports, I have been trying to make it work but it doesn't recognize anything may someone help me with that?
[18:22] <rwycuff> johannix,yes but thats the only way to do it that  iknow of
[18:22] <bazhang> Acxty: sounds like a hardware issue
[18:23] <Unter_> iositd: ah.
[18:23] <jack_spratt> Acxty: you need to find out what chips it has and do a search on their linux compatibiltiy
[18:23] <jack_spratt> Acxty: i would say
[18:23] <Unter_> I haven't done a lot of linux traffic shaping/qos; im mainly a cisco guy :)
[18:23] <Acxty> bazhang, supposely it works under linux
[18:23] <johannix> rwycuff: hm. sound has been the toughest thing i've had to deal with on my machine.
[18:23] <johannix> go figure
[18:23] <gerrue> Hello, i am thinking of changing my OS to Uuntu, but can i still use software programs/games i have or do i need to get linux versions?
[18:23] <rwycuff> te:not sure if you doing it the way im thinking of or not but there is away and seems kida straight forward to do x11 tunneling through ssh ,but has to be done on system with xorg on it
[18:23] <iositd> Unter_, i'm goin to learn cisco stuff in about a month or so ... =)
[18:23] <Unter_> cool.
[18:23] <jack_spratt> Acxty: saus who? are you sure you have the same revision as they one thats supposed to work?
[18:23] <rwycuff> johannix waht sound card
[18:24] <erUSUL> gerrue: the later
[18:24] <jack_spratt> gerrue: you mean win apps and games?
[18:24] <johannix> rwycuff: SB Audigy LS
[18:24] <erUSUL> gerrue: althought some stuff my work in wine
[18:24] <Acxty> jack_spratt, I follow the installation guide on debian and it works fine, now I use the same card on ubuntu and there is wher the problem start
[18:24] <erUSUL> !wine | gerrue
[18:24] <ubotu> gerrue: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.
[18:24] <nixnoob> how can i see error messages that would cause my enitre machine to reboot?
[18:24] <jack_spratt> Acxty: so you know how to install it in debain?
[18:24] <gerrue> thanks, erUSUL, where could i find linux software?
[18:24] <jack_spratt> nixnoob: check logs i guess
[18:25] <jack_spratt> nixnoob: /var/logs/
[18:25] <Mattz> right, now that my data is being rescued, i can get back to my original purpose: I want to make a set of Debian floppy boot discs in order to resurrect a terminal laptop with no CDROM or USB booting capability. Which guide do folks recommend?
[18:25] <Acxty> jack_spratt, it works on there, but I change my computer from debian to ubuntu
[18:25] <bazhang> gerrue: in the software repos
[18:25] <smithey93> i fixed my problem with slow update speeds - changed the server in software sources under sytem -> admin, so if anyone is having issues, just take a look on that and change it to if your in the uk ubuntu.virginmedia.com it works a charm
[18:25] <erUSUL> gerrue: ubuntu comes with apps that let you install software from withing the Os without the need to go searching the web
[18:25] <erUSUL> !software | gerrue
[18:25] <ubotu> gerrue: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents
[18:25] <jack_spratt> Acxty: well if you know what to do in debian you can start troubleshooting the differences
[18:25] <genii> Mattz: Does the thing have an ethernet adapter?
[18:25] <nixnoob> jack_spratt, any particular log?
[18:25] <Acxty> had been trying and trying and nothing
[18:25] <jack_spratt> Acxty: you know what drivers are required (if any) therefore
[18:25] <rwycuff> johannix :ahh yuor in luck thats my sound card at home too
[18:25] <jack_spratt> nixnoob: try messages file
[18:26] <Acxty> jack_spratt, no driver, on setserial command
[18:26] <rwycuff> johannix : whats it doing wrong
[18:26] <Acxty> *only
[18:26] <bazhang> Mattz: the machine is totally dead? will not boot at all?
[18:26] <Mattz> Yes and No. I've spent the last 6 weeks mucking about with it's PCMIA ethernet card, which I've come to the conclusion is approximately 3 million years old and cannot be used for a net boot. However it would work if I can get an OS running on it
[18:26] <johannix> rwycuff: sweet... besides driving me nuts. at this point I either have no sound or can play only through certain programs
[18:26] <bazhang> smithey93: thanks for the info
[18:26] <jack_spratt> Acxty: are you using the same kernel in debian and ubuntu?
[18:27] <nixnoob> jack_spratt, all it says is restart exiting on signla 15
[18:27] <Acxty> debian has an older one
[18:27] <johannix> rwycuff: i put up a lot of information on the forum... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=737323
[18:27] <Acxty> both 2.6
[18:27] <johannix> rwycuff: if that's any help
[18:27] <genii> Mattz: You can get a floppy disk image made at rom-o-matic site which will boot then will try netboot on adapters which do not have native PXE
[18:27] <Mattz> It can boot an ancient Xubuntu distrib that has for some reason a terminally broken networking system that refuses to cooperate. so best to start fresh
[18:27] <Mattz> genii: tried that in eveyr possible way. it doesn't work
[18:27] <jack_spratt> nixnoob: hmm im googling signal 15
[18:28] <smithey93> bazhang: no problem mate
[18:28] <meretricis> looking for some interested tricks and customizations.. any links available?
[18:28] <rwycuff> johannix: ok go play with the alsamixer siome and towards the end of the configs there is like a bunch with weaird names or numbers i cant remember its been so long but i had to mute them and one of the audigy output and then turn up the pcm and it worked
[18:28] <bazhang> meretricis: check out ubuntu tweaks
[18:28] <jack_spratt> nixnoob: you messed around with cron or similar at all?
[18:28] <Acxty> ubuntu 2.6.20-15-generic and debian 2.6.15-26
[18:28] <Mattz> i'm not even sure the ethernet card works (as this laptop is the only way to test it) though I'm told the Wifi card we have for it works guaranteed
[18:28] <meretricis> thanks bazhang
[18:28] <sagredo> Hi, can someone help me see if my sound card is functioning? I cannot hear anything
[18:29] <genii> Mattz: There is also a debian boot floppy whic you can use to make a plip0 interface and use the parallel port with a laplink/crossover to network
[18:29] <nixnoob> jack_spratt, no i havent done anything yet i installed yesterday its fresh
[18:29] <Mattz> of course, you can't PXE on a wifi card, so it needs to be floppys
[18:29] <gerrue> Thanks all.
[18:29] <iositd> does anyone happen to use wondershaper with succes, as mine won't properly restrict network traffic.
[18:29] <jack_spratt> Acxty: hmm strange the newer one has the problems, if no drivers are needed presumably they are inbuilt to the kernel
[18:29] <rwycuff> johannix: first off remove any mod that snt the alsa emu10k1 mod
[18:29] <smithey93> anybody had any luck at installing call of duty 4 on ubuntu like with wine and stuff?
[18:29] <iositd> !appdb | smithey93
[18:29] <ubotu> smithey93: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org
[18:29] <nixnoob> jack_spratt, could be hardware problem?
[18:29] <bazhang> smithey93: have you checked the apddb?
[18:30] <bazhang> oops
[18:30] <jack_spratt> nixnoob: try looking in some other logs maybe, like kernel,
[18:30] <nixnoob> jack_spratt, whats the command to see cpu temp? cat /proc/cpuinfo.....
[18:30] <smithey93> ubotu: thanks for the info - ill check it out, because i dont want 2 go on xp :)
[18:30] <jack_spratt> nixnoob: i dont know really, ive not much experience with diagnosis like this
[18:30] <jack_spratt> nixnoob: erm
[18:31] <meretricis> trying to make an application start in a specific workspace.. is 'devil's pie' the only option?
[18:31] <Mattz> Sadly we have no parallel cables/port expanders to use that option with. It has to be install from floppies and then use the rudimentary install to install Xubuntu/Ubuntu or similar
[18:31] <smithey93> ah - i need to install a patch to my cd, thanks for the help ubotu
[18:31] <jack_spratt> nixnoob: you think it may be a temp problem?
[18:32] <johannix> rwycuff: i'm not sure what i'm looking for in lsmod. I don't see alsa or emu
[18:32] <nixnoob> jack_spratt, perhaps it just randomly restarted just now but i think it could be a temp problem because it also restarts if i try to run CSS in wine
[18:32] <rwycuff> johannix can you post the output of your lsmod some place
[18:32] <johannix> ok
[18:33] <jack_spratt> nixnoob: counterstrike source
[18:33] <nixnoob> jack_spratt, yes
[18:33] <Mattz> genii: We're talking a real old school install by floppy, no frills. The laptop is THAT old :p
[18:34] <johannix> rwycuff: http://dpaste.com/42952/
[18:34] <johannix> rwycuff: as i pasted i see all the snd things listed from lines 15-23
[18:34] <jack_spratt> nixnoob: i dunno, id look in the other logs probably, from what i can determine signal 15 isnt conclusive one way or the other
[18:34] <genii> Mattz: I understand :) I've made some old 386 laptops into terminals
[18:34] <nixnoob> jack_spratt, thanks for your help
[18:34] <rwycuff> johannix: yeah give me second got lots of stuff going on but im looking through it
[18:35] <genii> Mattz: The cdrom works but just no boot capability from it?
[18:35] <sagredo> hi
[18:35] <sagredo> I'm trying to get my sound to sound
[18:35] <Mattz> no, there is no CDrom
[18:35] <sagredo> It is not right now
[18:35] <johannix> rwycuff: k. thanks
[18:35] <jack_spratt> nixnoob: np, sorry cant be more use, i got a similar problem with my laptop atm, jsut restarts completely randomly it seems with no way of determining whats doing it.
[18:35] <Mattz> genii: If it helps, it's a Toshiba Portege 3480CT with a USB floppy drive that inexplicably allows booting but not from the average USB key
[18:36] <iositd> Unter_, it would seem that wondershaper is the perfect tool for the job :-)
[18:36] <sagredo> How can I tell what Ubuntu is creting the sound from, ie. motherboard connection or sound card connection
[18:36] <jack_spratt> nixnoob: if you can be bothered you could do a memtest and CPU stresstest to make sure its not either of those
[18:36] <jack_spratt> nixnoob: its unlikely, but it rules out another possibility
[18:36] <bazhang> http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=442200 there is a script in here iositd

[18:37] <bod_> when reading 'man cp' there is 2 entries for   -p    one for 'never follow symbolic links' the other for 'remember permissions'     if i use -p wil that invoke both triggers? and why is there duplicates of -p?
[18:37] <nixnoob> jack_spratt, its weird because all these parts are brand new i just built this system but it seems the cpu fan is quite loud all the time and now im begining to suspect some botching on my part
[18:37] <Didas> This is only a recent problem, but when i start up ubuntu, i normally have my hd partitions displayed on the desktop, so i can access my windows partion or my linux file system. its no longer showing up. and when i go to /media  in command line, niether sda1 sda2, both partitions, are showing up as having anything in it. cant find anything on google about this. any ideas?
[18:37] <bod_> Kate_mins, got a graphics card in it? (desktop, laptop?)
[18:37] <jack_spratt> nixnoob
[18:37] <iositd> bazhang, it would appear that it was caused by a conflict with my version of iproute. I fixed it by slightly adjusting the wondershaper (which functions perfectly btw)
[18:37] <bazhang> Didas: show up in fstab?
[18:37] <dalek_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Gutsy
[18:38] <jack_spratt> nixnoob: the uncertainty can be a b1tch, I killed 6 cpus in 24 hours once with a dodgy cpu fan
[18:38] <dalek_> guys, I don't see the broadcom chipset in restriced drivers manager
[18:38] <Kate_mins> bod_: yes, its built-in card.. (desktop)
[18:38] <rwycuff> johannix:do you have onboard sound card too
[18:38] <jack_spratt> nixnoob: its undoubtedly nothing to worry about in your case, youll fix it soon no doubt
[18:38] <bod_> Kate_mins, built in, so not removeable?
[18:38] <johannix> rwycuff: ya. i already disabled it
[18:38] <sikava> hello
[18:38] <Didas> bazhang, yes it does
[18:38] <nixnoob> jack_spratt, thanks for the vote of confidence
[18:39] <jack_spratt> nixnoob: new parts + ubuntu = unlikely any problems
[18:39] <dotech> if i have a core 2, is the 64-bit version of ubuntu going to really speed things up?
[18:39] <jack_spratt> gtg
[18:39] <jack_spratt> bye
[18:39] <bazhang> unless the name is broadcom
[18:39] <nixnoob> jack_spratt,  /me sudo reboot brb
[18:39] <dotech> the last time i tried linux and 64-bit i had endless problems with compatibility, but this was about 2 years ago
[18:39] <sikava> is ubuntu graeter than xps?
[18:39] <johannix> rwycuff: one more thing to note. is that i get the "audiotestsrc wave=sine" error on two of my five alsa versions
[18:39] <bod_> i find ubuntu 64 really stable
[18:39] <bazhang> dotech how much ram for that? over 4GB then it may be worth otherwise not much diff
[18:39] <johannix> rwycuff: this was the reason i kinda wanted a clean start
[18:39] <dotech> 8gb
[18:40] <johannix> rwycuff: so it'd be easier to see what's going on.
[18:40] <smithey93> im planning on buying a gigabit swich soon, anyone any idea on what sort of gigabit cards i should get? netgear, intel etc?
[18:40] <dotech> if its relatively pain free i will probably do it
[18:40] <sikava> hey people is ubuntu more effecient than windows xp?
[18:40] <iositd> sikava, yes
[18:41] <smithey93> sikava - ubuntu is the way forward in life
[18:41] <Didas> bazhang, if it shows up under fstab, but cannot be accessed via /media   do you know any other options or possible solutions?
[18:41] <bazhang> sikava: this is a support channel not a poll channel thanks
[18:41] <SkinnYPupp> What does totem need to playback mp3's in 6.06 lts? I installed ffmpeg but it doesn't seem to be enough
[18:41] <nixnoob> im abck
[18:41] <sikava> ok
[18:41] <rwycuff> johannix, so you have 5 versions of alsa installed now
[18:41] <bazhang> Didas: what about manually mnt them
[18:41] <johannix> rwycuff: right
[18:41] <johannix> which is madness obviously
[18:41] <johannix> and makes for editing the sound settings complicated
[18:41] <efirewick> does anyone know what files are added when you install "libpam-keyring"? it screwed up my computer and I just want to put things back the way they were...
[18:41] <johannix> and highly error prone

[18:43] <bazhang> almostdvs:  hardy in #ubuntu+1 thanks
[18:43] <almostdvs> ty
[18:43] <rwycuff> johannix:ok so how did yuo get each one of these alsa services installed
[18:43] <dalek_> I'll do it the hard way. ^_^
[18:43] <invalidsyntax> which device do i select for sound (ati ixp(alsa mixer) or Realtek ALC250 rev (OSS Mixer)?
[18:43] <efirewick> sikava: there is a trash can/recycle bin looking icon on your bottom tool bar.
[18:43] <sikava> how do get to trash?
[18:43] <bod_> the man pae for mv doesnt list a -r parameter, does that mean that i cannot use mv to move directories or will it move them ompletely without a -r parameter?
[18:43] <bazhang> invalidsyntax: why not test them out and see which works
[18:44] <Shadow420> hey I am trying to compile Zsnes 1.36 but I can't get sdl 1.2.0 reconized and I have it from the repos
[18:44] <jake2point0> i installed Savage. a linux game and after clicking Start, Terminal spits out this information.  the game dont work http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61959/
[18:44] <sikava> thank you so much
[18:44] <invalidsyntax> neither works
[18:44] <johannix> rwycuff: manually. from the ALSA sources
[18:44] <invalidsyntax> i have no sound on this laptop
[18:44] <efirewick> sikava: n/p
[18:44] <johannix> rwycuff: was recommended on one of the posts...
[18:44] <invalidsyntax> also is there a totem chat?
[18:45] <rwycuff> johannix:so its 5 instances of the actual service or just 5 sound cards in alsa
[18:45] <jake2point0> S o m e o n e   H e l p   M e
[18:45] <johannix> rwycuff: um. when I open the sound settings in Ubuntu. Five different versions setup...
[18:45] <efirewick> invalidsyntax: If you double click on the sound icon and go into file -> change device
[18:46] <invalidsyntax> i did efirewick
[18:46] <clutsy-ribbon> can some one tell me how to install a compiz theme please?
[18:46] <yoddabyte> join #linux
[18:46] <Kate_mins> bod_: sorry , i just checked again. its motherboard of "MSI" and screen adapter "TC 512 NX8400GS PCIE"  (not built-it - you can removed the card from the board"
[18:46] <SkinnYPupp> invalidsyntax: if you are using xchat hit alt c to list channels available
[18:46] <invalidsyntax> but no sound from either one
[18:46] <LadyNikon> jake2point0: if you cant get info from here.. please see the forums.
[18:46] <efirewick> invalidsyntax: did you make sure the pcm is all the way up?
[18:46] <bod_> Kate_mins, try removing the card and using the motherboard built in graphics
[18:46] <rwycuff> johannix:ok give me a second that should just be 5 soundcards  i dont know why that was suggested but who knows
[18:46] <jake2point0> i installed Savage. a linux game and after clicking Start, Terminal spits out this information.  the game dont work http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61959/
[18:46] <rotvic> hey guyz
[18:47] <jake2point0> one thousand two hundread and sevendy three users and no one knows how to install Savage
[18:47] <johannix> rwycuff: if you look at the first Code section on the thread you'll see all the CA0106 devices listed under 'aplay -l' http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=737323
[18:47] <Kurbz> wash your asstoo when you have the brillo pads out
[18:47] <rotvic> need some help.. i'm running UrbanTerror the linux game and when it loads full screen i get "No Signal Recived" floating on my screen over the game plan ?
[18:47] <Kurbz> sorry wrong window... LOL
[18:48] <Kate_mins> bod_: the motherboard dosent have built-in graphics
[18:48] <bazhang> jake2point0: you likely need to take a breather; if no one knows at the moment then no one knows
[18:48] <mjay> Can anyone help me install a c7280 printer??or have a link to support
[18:48] <sikava> when downloading smthing  do bittorent help in downloading?
[18:48] <rwycuff> johannix:umm yeah that audigy card should work with 1 driver the emu10k1
[18:48] <mjay>  Can anyone help me install a c7280 printer??or have a link to support??
[18:48] <LadyNikon> sikava: can you rephrase that?

[18:48] <LadyNikon> mjay: please dont repeat yourself.. if you dont get help here please try the forums
[18:48] <efirewick> invalidsyntax: my speakers on my laptop seem to work after I adjust the pcm setting now and again. I think my old desktop did the same thing from time to time.
[18:49] <rotvic> anybody please ?
[18:49] <linkinxp> jake2point0, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=394849
[18:49] <jake2point0> nice google search.  do you know what my terminal info means in the pastebin.
[18:49] <bod_> Kate_mins, lol,. damn,. well my problem was i couldnt have the nvidia driver loaded before the session so i ouldnt see anything, but i had motherboard graphics, maybe try looking for a way to load the restricted drivers for your graphics card before x starts
[18:49] <dotech> you convinced me, i'll go with 64-bit :)
[18:49] <Shadow420> hey I am trying to compile Zsnes 1.36 but I can't get sdl 1.2.0 reconized and I have it from the repos so how do I fix this?
[18:50] <yoddabyte> jake2point0 - u ran thsi as sudo right
[18:50] <hischild> jake2point0, if you won't accept help when given, then don't bother asking. You might want to adjust your attitude as we're not doing this for money.
[18:50] <linkinxp> jake2point0,  reinstall or install perl :D
[18:50] <bazhang> ;]
[18:50] <johannix> rwycuff: ah. so the entire problem could be that i'm using CA0106 instead of CMU10k1
[18:51] <johannix> rwycuff: so did you manually install ALSA?
[18:51] <johannix> i could just go through that process again...
[18:51] <sikava> do i have to have downloading manager to speed up downloading process?
[18:52] <rwycuff> Johannix first time i did it yes i did install it that way and after that ubuntu worked with the card outta the box for me
[18:52] <node357a> Shadow420, I did that once by copying the SDL header files into the zsnes src/ directory
[18:52] <rwycuff> johannix:but first time i got that card to work was in arts
[18:52] <node357a> but I forget where to get them
[18:52] <mjay>  Can anyone point me into the right direction to install a HP c7280 printer thats wireless???
[18:52] <bazhang> sikava: downloading what?
[18:52] <Shadow420> the 1.2 headers
[18:52] <sikava> softwares
[18:52] <node357a> yeah all the .h files from SDL
[18:52] <mrpockets> my CD drive won't give me my CD :(
[18:52] <Shadow420> ok
[18:53] <mjay> punch it
[18:53] <mjay> =D
[18:53] <Scunizi> If I install Ubuntu on an external device (re: key, or drive) and then install Avast or AVG in that environment can I boot to it on a system and scan the internal Windows drives of a desktop/laptop for virus's?
[18:54] <hischild> mrpockets, try eject, and if it doesn't work, use sudo eject.
[18:54] <linkinxp> mjay,  i installed one in  a lan!  i guest its not the same
[18:54] <hischild> mrpockets, only when not using the live cd.
[18:54] <mjay> it maybe the same
[18:54] <nixnoob> ok one of my sensors is reporting 127C why would that happen?
[18:54] <invalidsyntax> still no sound after pcm adjustment
[18:54] <Mattz> Scunizi: It would be easier just to make a Portableapps.com suite key and use ClamWin
[18:54] <mrpockets> unable to eject
[18:54] <linkinxp> mjay,  i just browsed the lan and it was there the printer its plugged to a pc with windows i only ask me for a password and thats it :D
[18:54] <efirewick> invalidsyntax: what's the make and model? and what are you trying to hear?
[18:54] <bazhang> Scunizi: any reason not to install directly via usb to the target system? I carry around a usb stick with those apps on it
[18:55] <dalek_> argh, why won't my bcm4328 wireless card showup under Restricted Devices manager
[18:55] <rwycuff> johannix:yes i  have had to manually do it before
[18:56] <startherepodcast> mrpockets: there is usually a little hole in the front of your cd drive if you push a paperclip in there the tray should slide out
[18:56] <Scunizi> Mattz, bazhang I was thinking of that.. but I wanted to be able to boot to the device to isolate windows as a non-running system then scan for problems.. in the hopes of cleaning a win. drive
[18:56] <jake2point0> welp.. i did a search in the synaptic manager for perl and like 200 packages showed up but not one said Perl.
[18:56] <Mattz> ah right
[18:56] <johannix> rwycuff: looking through the ALSA docs. Trying to figure ou why I used CA0106...
[18:56] <johannix> rwycuff: but ya, I think I'm gonna have to go through that again.
[18:56] <hischild> jake2point0, perl is in there. It's around the middle.
[18:57] <jake2point0> hischild ok ill check it again... and ty
[18:57] <rwycuff> Johannix: and if the emu10k1 module is installed you should be able to do something like modprobe alsa_emu10k1 and that would work
[18:57] <jake2point0> i mean thank you
[18:57] <Mattz> Scunizi: it would be easier to use a distro such as Damn Small Linux or Puppy I think, but there is no reason you couldn't put ubuntu on a portable HDD and boot from USB
[18:57] <bazhang> Scunizi: ah I see the dilemma; but whatever extra stuff that may get in can be fixed by getting new definitions while online for spybot, ad-aware, avg etc
[18:58] <der|kunstler> On my system, when I do System > Quit, my computer Hangs... any ideas ?
[18:58] <der|kunstler> Ubuntu 7.10, Gnome
[18:58] <Mattz> Though if it's NTFS formatted drives, it's a pain to read them from Ubuntu (to my knowledge), much less get a Wine Emulation that would manage it
[18:58] <johannix> rwycuff: thansk. i'm gonna give it a go...
[18:58] <Scunizi> bazhang, so what you're saying is use the portable apps on a usb key, boot to windows, load the appropriate app and update then scan?
[18:58] <rwycuff> johannix:that driver they had you use is most commonly used for realtek sound cards maybe if this was your onboard card it would wok but not for this
[18:58] <der|kunstler> I mean, I can kill gnome using CTRL+ALT+Backspace
[18:59] <rwycuff> johannix: ill be here for 3 more hours let me know how it goes
[18:59] <pkundu> !flash

[19:00] <x1250> Hi guys, I have an ATI x1400 card + ubuntu hardy + direct rendering = compiz works ok. My problem is that scrolling is too slow for me, for example in firefox. Anyway to fix this?
[19:00] <bazhang> x1250: #ubuntu+1 please
[19:00] <linkinxp> x1250,  mouse settings?
[19:00] <linkinxp> bazhang,  :D
[19:00] <x1250> this is not a hardy specific issue
[19:00] <Mattz> sigh,a kernel panic on the Debian install floppy. It's like the universe is working against me fixing this laptop
[19:00] <bazhang> x1250: that is the correct channel thanks
[19:01] <aoupi> hi, why don't I get any colors when I pipe ls? like 'ls -1' has colors but 'ls -1 | less' does not, neither does 'ls -1 | most'
[19:01] <hischild> x1250, actually, it's hardy specific. Compiz has had some major makeover and update.
[19:02] <Scunizi> bazhang, one of the benefits to running ubuntu from usb and isolating the other op.sys is so when scanning the commercial apps you mention don't interfere with the scan.. (trying to stay on-topic).. also what other tools are available in Ubuntu for fixing a windows install .. other than fdisk :)
[19:02] <x1250> hischild: this happens also in gutsy, it is something related to the ati driver and compiz
[19:02] <invalidsyntax> got sound very low though
[19:02] <hischild> x1250, it might also happen in gutsy, yet it still is hardy specific as that is what you run.
[19:02] <Lamego> aoupi, if the output device is not a tty the color controls are ommited
[19:03] <invalidsyntax> got sound very low though
[19:03] <aoupi> Lamego: is there some environment variable I can set to change that?
[19:03] <soundray> aoupi: less can't deal with the ANSI escape codes used for colour. Try 'ls --color | less' to force them to stay in
[19:03] <efirewick> invalidsyntax: I hope that is a step in the right direction
[19:03] <invalidsyntax> yea but need more volume lol
[19:03] <aoupi> soundray: excelent, thanks
[19:03] <nixnoob> anyone know anything about hwmon? my temp3 is reporting 127C?
[19:03] <bazhang> Scunizi: gparted format partition to ext3 (just kidding)--your way of running ubuntu from usb seems good though you would somehow need to run those via wine I guess
[19:03] <Lamego> aoupi, don't think so, most utilities are not able to dearl with those chars
[19:04] <aoupi> Lamego: but at least now it gets throug, now I just have to find a pager that handles colors :)
[19:04] <Lamego> yuck :P
[19:04] <aoupi> Lamego: less -R did the trick :)
[19:04] <NICK-Z> grah brah.
[19:05] <Moppa^> when i install netpbm via apt, where does the binarys go?
[19:05] <soundray> aoupi: just found that, too. Nice!
[19:05] <NICK-Z> anyone knows exact command to kill x server
[19:05] <Lamego> Moppa^, dpkg -L netpbm
[19:05] <invalidsyntax> wtf
[19:05] <Scunizi> bazhang, that brings up the question.. do the virus scanners available to ubuntu natively discover virus's designed for windows? or are the signatures used different in some way?
[19:05] <Unxuxu> Hi... Is it possible to backup my entire Ubuntu (including configs, desktop arrangement, etc...), rebuild my partiontions scheme and so... restore the backup data, without more setup moves?
[19:05] <aoupi> soundray: yes, good stuff
[19:05] <efirewick> I would go in and make sure that both in devices the pc speaker, master volume, pcm are up (I would start at 3/4)
[19:05] <Moppa^> Lamego - thx
[19:06] <Lamego> Scunizi, there are no virus for linux, the existing antivirus are for windows virus detection
[19:06] <jake2point0> i guess Savage wont work in Gutsy only edgy.  that sucks
[19:06] <Lamego> Unxuxu, yes, you can use a partition backup image like partimage
[19:06] <Scunizi> Lamego, that I know. thanks..
[19:06] <soundray> !backup | Unxuxu
[19:06] <ubotu> Unxuxu: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning
[19:07] <Mattz> No one has had the insanity or patience to ever write a Linux virus that could spread :p
[19:07] <Lamego> Scunizi, so I don't see the point on your question :)
[19:08] <invalidsyntax> still low volume
[19:08] <efirewick> invalidsyntax: what is the make and model?
[19:08] <jake2point0> do you know what "whackin your hard drive" means?
[19:09] <Scunizi> Lamego, a file infected with a virus (windows) will have a specific signature.. however will the virus scanner running in Ubuntu also check a mounted windows partition INCluding the registry of that windows system?
[19:09] <invalidsyntax> toshiba satalite it worked the other day
[19:09] <Joelito> Hi guys, How can I know if my pc supports 32 or 64 bits?
[19:09] <bazhang> Scunizi: the linux version of avast will get the bad ms virii, though the spyware I m not sure about
[19:09] <soundray> Joelito: what's the model name/number of the CPU?
[19:10] <Scunizi> bazhang, ok.. any tools available for that?
[19:10] <splog> anyone know why my video on utube or google is like out of sync sort of like in the old days when you lost vertical sync except in this case the picture doesnt move up or down but a white line moves up thru the pic. Sound is OK UBUNTU 7.10
[19:10] <mypapipu> hi
[19:10] <efirewick> invalidsyntax: If it worked the other day and you have not changed anything, (and it worked for a long time before that) then I would assume your sound card might be going bad...
[19:10] <Joelito> soundray: Intel pentium dual core: 2.33 GHz
[19:10] <invalidsyntax> ugh
[19:11] <efirewick> invalidsyntax: did you change anything, install, etc....
[19:11] <Lamego> Scunizi, signatures are usually file based, I don't believe antivirus will do registry scanning, since that would required to manage the registry file without the windows api
[19:11] <soundray> Joelito: ah, difficult one. You need to look up the model name and stepping in cat /proc/cpuinfo and then find out from Intel's web site or Wikipedia
[19:11] <briareos90> splog: does normal flash applets run okay ?
[19:11] <Lamego> I mean, AV for Linux
[19:11] <clutsy-ribbon> hey can someone help me install a compiz theme?
[19:11] <invalidsyntax> no
[19:11] <jaffarkelshac> yeah
[19:11] <jaffarkelshac> you mean the software?#
[19:12] <Lamego> not to mention, that AV on Linux are used for scanning in traffic, or media based virus, not for live windows systems cleaning
[19:12] <efirewick> invalidsyntax: I would think it is your card. that is an assumption, you should test more.
[19:12] <jake2point0> clutsy-ribbon  in your synaptic manager search for Emerald  get the emerald theme manager.
[19:12] <shishirm1> i removed both the gnome panels by mistake
[19:12] <clutsy-ribbon> i have emerald
[19:12] <invalidsyntax> i have
[19:12] <invalidsyntax> lol
[19:12] <Unxuxu> Lamego: OK... I now there are many ways to backup my system... but Im really worried if Ill need to reconfigure some settings or it will be easy to restore like put an image to run back...
[19:12] <clutsy-ribbon> i have a theme
[19:12] <efirewick> invalidsyntax: try hooking up some speakers or headset to the 1/8" jack.
[19:12] <clutsy-ribbon> i have imported it
[19:12] <bazhang> Scunizi: http://www.howtoforge.com/virus-protection-with-avast-on-ubuntu-gutsy-gibbon I'm guessing you could point this at the windows system through the (ontopic!) ubuntu usb system
[19:12] <jake2point0> ok cool so whats up
[19:12] <Mattz> hmm...
[19:12] <splog> briar  I don't knwo when or if I am running a normal flash applet
[19:12] <invalidsyntax> k
[19:12] <bidossessi> hi folks
[19:12] <Lamego> Unxuxu, if you do a full backup, there is nothing to reconfigure, you just restore, well, if you do partition changes, you will need to adjust your /etc/fstab
[19:12] <clutsy-ribbon> but it doesn't seam to be working, everything looks the same
[19:13] <Mattz> weird...every other wifi point in our building has disappeared
[19:13] <bidossessi> is there a gui way to format a flashdisk on ubuntu?
[19:13] <jake2point0> did you reboot your computer?
[19:13] <efirewick> invalidsyntax: then see if you can adjust it through your sound settings on your destop...
[19:13] <splog> briar  its true some videos dont do that
[19:13] <Mattz> sorry, used to thinking out loud in IRC. back on topic
[19:13] <Lamego> Unxuxu, same for your menu.lst if you change the root part
[19:13] <Lapinux> clutsy-ribbon: you have to change your window manager to get the themes to work
[19:13] <Flannel> bidossessi: gparted is a popular one
[19:13] <clutsy-ribbon> hmm were is that setting please?
[19:13] <CShadowRun> Hmm, ubuntu seems to be running really slow (P4 2.8Ghz, 1GB Ram, Intel 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller)
[19:13] <Shadow420> blah does anyone have a copy of the orginal copy of the sdl 1.2.0 src file
[19:14] <Unxuxu> Lamego: tks!
[19:14] <CShadowRun> The weird thing is is that compiz cube runs 100% fine, while simply things like scrolling down in a document is really slow
[19:14] <CShadowRun> whats up with that?
[19:14] <Lamego> Shadow420, apt-get source libsde1.2debian ?
[19:14] <Lamego> ops, sdl
[19:14] <bazhang> CShadowRun: what about with compiz disabled
[19:14] <Scunizi> bazhang, thanks for the link.. I appreciate the feedback.. what a great way to promote Ubuntu by booting to it, enabling graphics (compiz), cleaning a windows system, then explain they wouldn't have to do that again if they made the switch.
[19:14] <jake2point0> lemme guess schadowrun.. you have ATI video card or some junk onboard video?
[19:14] <CShadowRun> i think it was the same
[19:14] <shishirm1> i removed both gnome panels by mistake how do i get them back?
[19:14] <CShadowRun> jake2point0 junk onboard :p
[19:14] <Lapinux> clutsy-ribbon: i just had the same problem but cant exactly remember how i switched it
[19:14] <bidossessi> Flannel: thanks
[19:15] <chazco> Hi... in order to get bluetooth USB pass-through to work in Virtualbox i ran sudo chown -R root:vboxusers /proc/bus/usb ... just wanting to confirm this wont cause any ill effects? (or is there a better way to do it)
[19:15] <jake2point0> yep  its junk thats your prob... case closed
[19:15] <Flannel> shishirm1: right click near the top/bottom of the screen (respectively) then "add panel" then right click on it and "add to panel"
[19:15] <CShadowRun> aww :(
[19:15] <Teoz> anyone here play in the ssh_conf or sshd_cong files ? Im not sure about the syntax when adding ports to listen to
[19:15] <clutsy-ribbon> lol
[19:15] <Titanium2204> Hello my friend i have a problem i bought need for speed most wanted yesterday and i want to install my game with cedega and cedega say : you haven't any memory in your hard disk to install NFSMW ! Why ? :( who can help me ?
[19:15] <invalidsyntax> its low on ext speakers also
[19:15] <CShadowRun> my "spare" computer, my main one bit the dust (Just after i had damned well got ubuntu working with ATI, Dual head, and compiz...)
[19:15] <clutsy-ribbon> well i will have a search on google
[19:15] <briareos90> shishirm1: i dunno the proper way to get them back .. but the last time that happened to me i deleted the panel config files :P lol
[19:15] <CShadowRun> Someone upstairs doesn't want me using linux, haha xD
[19:15] <jake2point0> ok.. did you have any restricted drivers to install?
[19:15] <Lamego> Titanium2204, try a cedega/wine channel
[19:15] <CShadowRun> jake2point0 nope :(
[19:15] <bazhang> !resetpanels | shishirm1
[19:15] <ubotu> shishirm1: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel »
[19:16] <shishirm1> Flannel i deleted both
[19:16] <Lapinux> clutsy-ribbon: search google for setting up compiz-fusion with emerald and look for the part about starting emerald
[19:16] <CVD-PR> WHy the hell the openOffice Presentation is so, so slow when changing slides?
[19:16] <jake2point0> keep asking for help in getting better drivers for your onboard graphics.  i dontknow anything else as im a noob too...
[19:16] <bazhang> clutsy-ribbon: alt f2 emerald --replace
[19:16] <invalidsyntax> efire it is low on ext speakers
[19:17] <mypapipu> hii
[19:17] <Shadow420> ok
[19:17] <Scunizi> CVD-PR, presentation can be set to change slides at different speeds.. if it's win PPT file you're viewing it may be set slow
[19:17] <invalidsyntax> sound fixed
[19:18] <soundray> CVD-PR: no need to swear. Try increasing the graphics cache size (Tools-Options-Memory)
[19:18] <CVD-PR> Scunizi,  its not sped its look like laggin
[19:19] <mattan> hi, i have got a problem I cannot mount any hda or sda
[19:19] <mattan> what have I done wrong
[19:19] <JohnnyHempseed> for some reason during the ubuntu install it did not format sda6 correctly
[19:19] <soundray> mattan: what exactly have you tried?
[19:19] <JohnnyHempseed> how do i reformat htis partition to a fat32
[19:19] <JohnnyHempseed> this**
[19:20] <JohnnyHempseed> i tried doing it in windoze but it will only let me select NTFS
[19:20] <soundray> JohnnyHempseed: use mkdosfs -F32 (man mkdosfs)
[19:20] <mattan> just open it or  "mount -a" or mount /etc/hda3"
[19:20] <soundray> JohnnyHempseed: you probably want to change the partition type in gparted then
[19:20] <CShadowRun> 128MB nVidia 6200 128MB will be fine for running compiz and being a basic chat/browsing/email/boring stuff... machine right?
[19:20] <JohnnyHempseed> what do you mean soundray?
[19:21] <soundray> mattan: do you have an fstab entry for it?
[19:21] <Pici> cs278: that will be fine
[19:21] <mattan> @soundray yes I have I think so
[19:22] <luca> #addon!
[19:22] <soundray> JohnnyHempseed: the partition table contains a byte for each partition that indicates the partition type. Linux mostly ignores it, but Windows can be picky
[19:22] <luca> !addon
[19:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about addon - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[19:22] <luca> !lista
[19:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about lista - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[19:22] <JohnnyHempseed> soundray grub wont come up any more i cant even access linux now =[
[19:23] <johannix> rwycuff: bad news. got stuck with the ALSA installation. It couldn't add the module to the kernel; back to modprobe again...
[19:23] <Teoz> !ssh
[19:23] <ubotu> SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[19:23] <soundray> mattan: what does it look like?
[19:23] <JohnnyHempseed> i put the windows disk in to see if i could format that partition with out installing windows but it wouldnt ( i never installed windows either i just pressed esc for quit)
[19:23] <JohnnyHempseed> looks like it wiped out my master boot record any ways
[19:23] <soundray> !grub | JohnnyHempseed, follow the RecoveringUbuntu... instructions
[19:23] <ubotu> JohnnyHempseed, follow the RecoveringUbuntu... instructions: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[19:24] <CVD-PR> jack, cheese no matter what i put in powerPoiint its always smooth
[19:24] <soundray> Joelito: how are you getting on?
[19:24] <JohnnyHempseed> thank you soundray
[19:24] <soundray> CVD-PR: did you get my recommendation?
[19:24] <endo> how can I find the location of my lame executable?
[19:24] <Joelito> soundray: I'm still searching, most utils are for windows -_-
[19:24] <Lamego> Enders, which lame
[19:24] <soundray> endo: enter 'which lame'
[19:24] <endo> thank you :)
[19:25] <CVD-PR> soundray, yes, the problem is Presentation, in windows its the same thing
[19:25] <soundray> Joelito: what do you get from 'grep model\ name /proc/cpuinfo'?
[19:25] <mattan> @soundray all hda have a entry
[19:25] <soundray> CVD-PR: did you increase the cache size?
[19:26] <soundray> mattan: give me the line that you're entering when you're trying to mount the filesystem.
[19:27] <JohnnyHempseed> some one should write something that will auto fix your grub
[19:27] <JohnnyHempseed> and add it to all the live cds
[19:27] <JohnnyHempseed> would be nice
[19:27] <mattan> @soundray out of the fstab:"UUID=4520-2693  /media/hda4     vfat    defaults,utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0       1"
[19:27] <mypapipu> halo
[19:27] <Daisil> heya. My wife is trying to watch stuff on youtube and the like, but isn't getting any sound, but her sound works the rest of the time. any ideas?
[19:27] <Scunizi> CVD-PR, try saving it in OO's format and reloading it.
[19:27] <CVD-PR> soundray, yeah but if use the presentation in another computer i have to do that again?
[19:28] <Murilo_> HAI GUISE
[19:28] <CVD-PR> Scunizi, its in OO already
[19:28] <mypapipu> there app like google earth at ubuntu ??
[19:28] <Pici> !googleearth | mypapipu
[19:28] <ubotu> mypapipu: Google Earth is now available, for free (only as in price), for Linux, too. To download it see http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html - A package for Ubuntu is available in the !Medibuntu repository
[19:28] <Scunizi> cvd_soundray,  could it be a Java issue? since OO uses a lot of it?
[19:29] <CVD-PR> ueah i think its for the java thing
[19:29] <CVD-PR> Presentation its always so slow
[19:29] <mattan> @soundray: mount /etc/hda4
[19:29] <mattan> @soundray :mount /etc/hda4
[19:29] <mattan> @soundray: mount /etc/hda4
[19:29] <mypapipu> ooohhh
[19:30] <n0mad> hi, plz telme will it ubuntu recognize inteldp35dp + e6750 + nv6200pciex16; i have bad luck with debian - just waisted my dvd
[19:30] <soundray> mattan: that can't work. After all, the mount point you've defined is /media/hda4 (not /etc/hda4)
[19:30] <Lamego> n0mad, try the livecd
[19:30] <soundray> CVD-PR: only if transitions are slow on that computer, too.
[19:31] <mattan> @soundray that does not work either
[19:31] <dalek_> fak, my m1530 won't install the damn bcm4328 drivers.
[19:31] <n0mad> lamego where can i get live is that new beta will be ok (it dosent lok like live :S ) ?
[19:31] <n0mad> Lamego, *
[19:31] <taza> I have an external ext2 formatted SDHC card.
[19:32] <taza> It seems to have 5% reserved for root
[19:32] <taza> How do I free it for any user use?
[19:32] <dalek_> kjlo
[19:32] <soundray> Scunizi: I doubt it. I find that the default graphics cache size settings are just too small for presentations that contain images
[19:32] <CVD-PR> soundray,  but in powerPoint no matter what i put on(grafics etc..) its always smooth
[19:32] <Rigd> Hi, I just installed Hardy and when I try to use the nvidia proprietary driver my screen shows some vertical black lines
[19:32] <soundray> !doesntwork | mattan
[19:32] <ubotu> mattan: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.
[19:32] <Pici> Rigd: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Hardy/8.04 support/discussion.
[19:32] <Scunizi> soundray, you mean inside of OO? in the setup?
[19:33] <soundray> CVD-PR: do you want to solve your problem, or just moan?
[19:33] <soundray> Scunizi: Tools-Options-Memory
[19:33] <taza> An external SDHC card has ext2 filesystem and has 5% reserved for root. How do I free the space for any user?
[19:33] <Scunizi> soundray, that's where I was thinking
[19:33] <CVD-PR> soundray,  the problem are gonna still the same
[19:33] <CVD-PR> until they make Presentation better
[19:33] <mattan> @ soundray : Normaly my system mounted this fat file system at startup but since a sort time it does not
[19:33] <CVD-PR> and not use java
[19:34] <JohnnyHempseed> soundray tab doesent work in the terminal off of the live cd
[19:34] <mattan> it says it is busy
[19:34] <Lamego> n0mad, just get the gutsy livecd from ubuntu.com
[19:34] <JohnnyHempseed> i already know where my root partition is though
[19:34] <CVD-PR> its fast if i dont use any effects :-(
[19:34] <n0mad> Lamego, ok thx
[19:35] <Scunizi> CVD-PR, did you see soundray 's post to me about the graphics cache in OO.. that it probably should be increased? and that might fix it?
[19:35] <Odd-rationale> What are some mp3 players that can play flac without thirdparty firmware?
[19:35] <Odd-rationale> And works with ubuntu
[19:35] <CVD-PR> ok wait
[19:35] <JohnnyHempseed> soundray im stuck at this step grub> setup (hd0) #Hit <Enter> key
[19:35] <Scunizi> Odd-rationale, corvin?
[19:35] <Odd-rationale> Scunizi: you mean cowen?
[19:35] <JohnnyHempseed> what does (hd0) need to be
[19:35] <Odd-rationale> *cowon
[19:35] <soundray> mattan: then it's already mounted
[19:35] <Scunizi> Odd-rationale, yes.. sorry couldn't remember the name.
[19:35] <CVD-PR> its there any Presentation viewer? so i can view it without openOffice
[19:36] <CVD-PR> ?
[19:36] <JohnnyHempseed> soundray if root is on sda3 would it be "setup (hd0,2)" ?
[19:36] <Odd-rationale> Scunizi: It seems like that is the only one... Does it work well with rhythmbox or amarok?
[19:37] <heydabop> What is the link for the repo-builder?
[19:37] <Scunizi> Odd-rationale, not really sure.. but others have had success.
[19:37] <mattan> but where can I find it and umount it
[19:37] <soundray> JohnnyHempseed: (hd0) is correct (you want grub in the MBR of your first hard disk -- not in the boot sector of /dev/sda3)
[19:37] <JohnnyHempseed> soundray so just type setup (hdo) ?
[19:37] <soundray> JohnnyHempseed: no, setup (hd0)
[19:38] <JohnnyHempseed> and now i can edit menu.lst?
[19:38] <soundray> mattan: enter 'mount' by itself to see a list of mounted filesystems
[19:38] <soundray> JohnnyHempseed: continue following the guide
[19:38] <Odd-rationale> Scunizi: ok thanks!
[19:39] <CVD-PR> Graphics Cache:  for OpenOffice:20mb,  Memory object:5.2mb,

[19:50] <cdecarlo> gumby600m: why would you want to keep it?
[19:50] <|Dede|> In the Ircserver config?
[19:50] <rwycuff> johannix:yes back to modprobe shouldnt have to install alsa again just the mod
[19:50] <|Dede|> Normally the listen block contains ports, I think

[19:50] <gumby600m> cdecarlo:  because it's part of a subversion repository and I always get missing links  when it's no longer there.
[19:50] <|Dede|> that's ancient, stefan__
[19:51] <soundray> !yay | JohnnyHempseed
[19:51] <ubotu> JohnnyHempseed: Glad you made it! :-)
[19:51] <kindofabuzz> stefan__: yes they do, i have xubuntu running on a mx400
[19:51] <|Dede|> I do not have sound when I start java applets (using Sun Java), can anybody help me please?
[19:51] <soundray> stefan__: you may need nvidia-glx-legacy
[19:51] <SkinnYPupp> stefan_: I think i ran into that before with a/b card version just being under the cutoff
[19:51] <JohnnyHempseed> soundray what was that one command you said for formatting sda6 to a fat32?
[19:52] <soundray> JohnnyHempseed: man mkdosfs
[19:52] <Andycasss> |Dede|: Ok, i just removed the "host" line, it listens on all ip-s now (192.168.1.xxx) and (<IP_ADDRESS>), but not on my public ip???
[19:52] <stefan__> kindofabuzz: hm the the lower half of the screen is pink.. excatly the lower half :) the rest is zigzag, but i can move the mousecursor perfetly in the upper half :P
[19:52] <cdecarlo> gumby600m: doesn't look like there is an option to keep the original .gz, have you tried tar -zxf filename.tar.gz
[19:52] <rwycuff> johannix: try this for emu10k1 setup http://alsa.opensrc.org/Emu10k1
[19:52] <kindofabuzz> stefan__: you probably have the wrong drivers loaded.  use legacy
[19:52] <|Dede|> Andy, is the server on you PC?
[19:53] <|Dede|> *your
[19:53] <Andycasss> |Dede|: Yes.
[19:53] <stefan__> kindofabuzz: i just inserted the install-cd :)
[19:53] <stefan__> .oO8 safe grafics mode)
[19:53] <|Dede|> Andycasss: You cannot connect to you Internet IP from you localhost, just use 127.0.01
[19:53] <htgul> Hi, I'd like to copy a whole folder (with subfolders) into another folder and only by one click (in a panel?). How could I do this?
[19:53] <|Dede|> <IP_ADDRESS>
[19:53] <gumby600m> cdecarlo:  Thanks.
[19:53] <soundray> stefan__: if you have graphics issues with the live CD, you should try the text-based installer. Private message from ubotu...
[19:53] <cdecarlo> gumby600m: no problem
[19:53] <stefan__> htgul: ? what?
[19:53] <soundray> !alternate > stefan__
[19:54] <ChaosTheory> No GStream plugins and/or devices found.
[19:54] <ChaosTheory> Any help? =|
[19:54] <Jowi> ChaosTheory, for which application?
[19:54] <stefan__> yeah i know the alternate-cd, thx. furunatly got one here
[19:54] <Andycasss> |Dede|: Oh, ofcourse :) Silly me
[19:54] <|Dede|> Andycasss: Listening to ports 192.168.1.xxx means that only users in your own LAN network can join
[19:54] <puchacz> Hi. How to check which version of Kubuntu am I running?
[19:54] <htgul> stefan__, I want to copy a folder into another folder, but not ctrl+c and ctrl+v in nautilus, but only with one click
[19:55] <soundray> htgul: you need to write a script that runs 'cp -r /source/folder /target/folder/' and call that script from a panel launcher
[19:55] <efirewic1> chaostheory: did you install any packages for gstreamer?
[19:55] <Odd-rationale> puchacz: lsb_release -a
[19:55] <ChaosTheory> Jowi: Sound.
[19:55] <ChaosTheory> efirewic1: No, how do I do it?
[19:55] <|Dede|> If you want that everbody is able to join try using "*" instead
[19:55] <puchacz> Odd-rationale: thanks
[19:55] <stefan__> htgul: hold down CTRl or something.. i bet there is a key
[19:55] <stefan__> htgul: andthen drag and drop
[19:55] <htgul> stefan__, What?
[19:55] <karmelek> how to connect symbian phone (nokia 6630) with ubuntu using cable connection?
[19:55] <JohnnyHempseed> soundray im reading the man page but this is all chinese to me
[19:56] <soundray> htgul: have you seen my suggestion?
[19:56] <puchacz> what's the difference between "full upgrade" and "version upgrade" on "adept manager"?
[19:56] <htgul> stefan__, I don't want drag and drop, I want one click and then it should be done
[19:56] <stefan__> htgul: hold down CTRL, click onto the dir, drag it to the destination
[19:56] <Jowi> htgul, click and hold on the directory. drag to the destination folder. release button.
[19:56] <Jowi> htgul, ^^^ one click :)
[19:57] <CShadowRun> Ok, this is really weird. When i use compiz draw fire plugin, and draw a little fire on my screen, my system responds atleast 50% faster, if not more. If i scroll up and down in firefox without fire it scrolls the page in big one inch chunks, if i draw one tiny piece of fire, i can scroll up and down as fast as i can move the mouse without any tiny bit of lag. Whats up with that?
[19:57] <soundray> JohnnyHempseed: a typical mkdosfs invocation would be 'sudo mkdosfs -F32 -n VolumeName /dev/sdg9'
[19:57] <stefan__> htgul: not possible by one click. a copy needs at least 2 parameters: file and target
[19:57] <LinTux> how do I generate a CA to sign emails with?
[19:57] <|Dede|> I do not have sound when I start java applets (using Sun Java), can anybody help me please?
[19:57] <soundray> htgul: did you get my suggestion?
[19:57] <efirewic1> chaostheory: goto system -> administrator -> synaptic pack -> search for gstream and check for install, then apply.
[19:57] <ChaosTheory> efirewic1: I just did that.
[19:57] <stefan__> LinTux: gpg?
[19:57] <efirewic1> chaostheory: and...
[19:57] <ChaosTheory> efirewic1: Nothing changed.
[19:57] <htgul> stefan__, Jowi But I the terminal I can do it by one line, can't I create a script containing cp /foo /bar and execute it via an panel-icon
[19:58] <cdecarlo> maybe htgul has a quantum computer that already knows where the folder should go because he's already done it in another dimension
[19:58] <JohnnyHempseed> so does -n give it a volume name so where it says "volumename" replace it with something like "partition 6"
[19:58] <Jowi> LinTux, "gpa" is a gpg keyring assistant. quite easy to use.
[19:58] <stefan__> htgul: ah now i see. you want to copy the same dir to the same destination every time?
[19:58] <efirewic1> chaostheory: where are you getting this error again?
[19:59] <soundray> htgul: HELLO?
[19:59] <ChaosTheory> efirewic1: I right click the speaker at the top --> open volume control.
[19:59] <prettyricky> Hey guys is there a reason why my ALT-F2 does not work? And is there anyway to enable that feature?
[19:59] <ChaosTheory> efirewic1: When I first clicked it, it said it didn't recognize a sound card or something.
[19:59] <stefan__> prettyricky: nuder X youll need to use ctrl.alt.fX
[19:59] <stefan__> .=+
[19:59] <JohnnyHempseed> soundray sudo mkdosfs -F32 -n partition6 /dev/sda3 ?
[20:00] <efirewic1> chaostheory: double click on the speaker icon
[20:00] <prettyricky> ? fx
[20:00] <cdecarlo> stefan__: I think that prettyricky is talking about alt-f2 launching the run dialog
[20:00] <ChaosTheory> efirewic1, that gives me the "No GStreamer plugins and/or devices found."
[20:00] <StereoSkit> hi all, i just dist-upgraded hardy today and when asked for a boot i did it, now the system wont load, it halts at the busybox !!!!, any workaround for this ?
[20:00] <Pici> StereoSkit: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Hardy/8.04 support/discussion.
[20:00] <efirewic1> chaostheory: gotcha
[20:00] <stefan__> oh
[20:00] <soundray> JohnnyHempseed: looks okay (mind you this will destroy all data in /dev/sda3)
[20:01] <JohnnyHempseed> yeah the 3 was a typeo
[20:01] <JohnnyHempseed> dont wanna do that sda3 is root lol
[20:01] <efirewic1> chaostheory: when did this stop working?
[20:01] <htgul> stefan__, Yes
[20:01] <soundray> StereoSkit: ask in #ubuntu+1 please
[20:01] <ChaosTheory> efirewic1: Yesterday.
[20:01] <ChaosTheory> efirewic1: I was trying to fix another sound problem -- sound from both the speakers and the microphone.
[20:02] <marios> halo
[20:02] <eitreach>  /join #ubuntu-dk
[20:02] <eitreach> erm.
[20:02] <efirewic1> chaostheory: do you have the alsa-base package installed?
[20:02] <ChaosTheory> efirewic1: How do I check?
[20:02] <Troofy> how to chant apt to use a proxy instead , to download apps?
[20:02] <impulze> is there a chance to see explicitly installed packages (not those implicitly pulled in as deps)
[20:03] <efirewic1> chaostheory: go back into synaptic and search under sound or asla.
[20:03] <JohnnyHempseed> soundray i think this harddrive is screwed up
[20:03] <impulze> perhaps a shell oneliner could do that?
[20:03] <efirewic1> alsa
[20:03] <Ntemis> hello
[20:03] <efirewic1> sorry
[20:03] <ChaosTheory> efirewic1, alsa-base is installed.
[20:03] <Ntemis> please help me out
[20:04] <dragon2> how can i install ubuntu from iso without cd-rom, lan and Wubi??
[20:04] <impulze> debootstrap
[20:04] <Pici> !install > dragon2 (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[20:04] <htgul> stefan__, you want to copy the same dir to the same destination every time Yes, thats what I want to do, but I didn't manage to configure a panel icon that could do that
[20:04] <Pici> !ask | Ntemis
[20:04] <ubotu> Ntemis: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[20:04] <JohnnyHempseed> dragon2 i think theres a .exe windoze install
[20:04] <Ntemis> i have the bottom panel but i cannot see my opened applications in it!
[20:04] <JohnnyHempseed> correct me if im wrong guys
[20:04] <stefan__> htgul: create a textfile: 1st line: #!/bin/bash 2nd line: cp /from/here /there -R   Save it. type chmod +x thefile. this is like a .bat in windows
[20:04] <Pici> JohnnyHempseed: Thats wubi
[20:04] <Ntemis> so i need to alt+ tab to see them or close them
[20:04] <efirewic1> chaostheory: click on it and mark it for re-installation. then apply
[20:04] <soundray> Troofy: set a variable like this: export http_proxy="http://some.url.com"
[20:04] <Ntemis> please advice what is needed to be done
[20:04] <dragon2>  JohnnyHempseed: i have no exe
[20:04] <Ntemis> thanks in advance for any help given
[20:05] <rrittenhouse> For ubuntu am I safer going with a Dell M1330 or a thinkpad R/T/X series?
[20:05] <Troofy> soundray how to undo if i have done it already?
[20:05] <JohnnyHempseed> dragon2 pici just told me its wubi
[20:05] <soundray> Troofy: if you want this permanently, you can add the variable setting to /etc/environment
[20:05] <ChaosTheory> efirewic1, did that.
[20:05] <helit> do you speak french
[20:05] <ChaosTheory> efirewic1, same thing.
[20:05] <htgul> soundray, Ok, finally I read your suggestion, sorry. But what should my skript contain? Only that line?
[20:05] <puchacz> Hi again, I was trying to upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 and I had: "Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/Release Unable to find expected entry  (Source/binary-amd64/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)"
[20:05] <soundray> Troofy: undo: export http_proxy=''
[20:05] <dragon2> JohnnyHempseed: wubi doesn't work
[20:05] <htgul> soundray, Ok, stefan__ answered
[20:06] <htgul> stefan__, Ok, thanks I'll try that
[20:06] <evand> dragon2: can you elaborate?  What about it doesn't work?
[20:06] <puchacz> when I try this URL manually, the server responses.
[20:06] <soundray> Troofy: or just end the bash shell - export only works on the current shell session
[20:06] <JohnnyHempseed> dragon2 iv never used wubi
[20:06] <marios> hi mitsio
[20:06] <dragon2> evand: i have runtu. russian version of ubuntu
[20:06] <JohnnyHempseed> dragon2 what version of windows are you running
[20:06] <Troofy> soundray i think i have entered it in a file. i cant remeber where/.
[20:06] <Pici> Ntemis: Right click on the panel, go to add to panel and select Window List
[20:06] <dragon2> JohnnyHempseed: xp
[20:06] <ChaosTheory> efirewic1, any suggestions>
[20:06] <efirewic1> chaostheory: I would try to re-install your volume control. go to applications - add/remove
[20:06] <JohnnyHempseed> oh
[20:07] <Ntemis> i have the bottom panel but i cannot see my opened applications in it!
[20:07] <JohnnyHempseed> so what happens when you try to open wubi?
[20:07] <ChaosTheory> efirewic1, okay.
[20:07] <efirewic1> chaostheory: then re-install, and reboot.
[20:07] <Troofy> soundray i think i have entered it in a file. i cant remeber where/.
[20:07] <soundray> Troofy: 'cd /etc ; grep http_proxy *'
[20:07] <dragon2> it cannot find image file
[20:07] <evand> Yeah, that wouldn't work.  It wont be able to find the CD.
[20:07] <Jowi> Ntemis, right click on the panel and add a window list to it.
[20:07] <Andycasss> Ive just made my irc server, but i dont have any idea how to get services running on it, such as nickserv. Could somone help me out?
[20:07] <efirewic1> chaostheory: by the way what is the model pc your are using?
[20:07] <soundray> Troofy: or maybe you've added it to $HOME/.bashrc
[20:07] <Jowi> Ntemis, it might have been removed by mistake...
[20:07] <Troofy> soundray bash.bashrc:export http_proxy=http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8080/
[20:07] <JohnnyHempseed> cant find what image file
[20:08] <JohnnyHempseed> does it say the name of the file
[20:08] <ChaosTheory> efirewic1, HP dv6000.
[20:08] <Ntemis> jow1
[20:08] <evand> as Wubi specifically looks for Ubuntu, Kubuntu, or Xubuntu.
[20:08] <JohnnyHempseed> or does it just say 'cant find image file'
[20:08] <Pici> Andycasss: Perhaps looking for the irc channel for whatever ircd you are running is a good start
[20:08] <ChaosTheory> efirewic1, it says I need to install through Synaptic, is that okay?
[20:08] <Ntemis> 1st i want to thank you for your help
[20:08] <Moduliz0r> Hi, how do I set up Ubuntu (7.10) to receive files on Bluetooth?
[20:08] <stefan__> htgul: if you ancounter any problems just google for "bashscript howto". google should come up with alot of good info on that
[20:08] <soundray> Troofy: so delete it from there and reboot
[20:08] <stefan__> -a+e
[20:08] <Ntemis> now i dont have window list
[20:08] <Ntemis> i have window selector
[20:08] <htgul> stefan__, Ok, thanks
[20:08] <Ntemis> is that that you mean?
[20:08] <Pici> Ntemis: Thats probably it, I'm trying to recall from memory
[20:09] <JohnnyHempseed> dragon2 what the name of the file it says it cant find
[20:09] <hunter__> guys i have got a driver for my webcam on the link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=320433&page=2 page 2, the last post. i have downloaded and untared it, but i don know how to install that one, can any one help plss
[20:09] <Ntemis> ok thanks
[20:09] <efirewic1> chaostheory: yes
[20:09] <dragon2> JohnnyHempseed: it can't find image because i have RUNTU, and image file called runtu.....
[20:09] <Troofy> soundray del from where?
[20:09] <Jowi> Ntemis, maybe they change the name for it, might be.
[20:09] <soundray> Troofy: /etc/bash.bashrc
[20:09] <Troofy> soundray ok
[20:10] <ChaosTheory> efirewic1, there are a few.
[20:10] <ChaosTheory> efirewic1, one second.
[20:10] <bk1979> efirewic1 - I unflagged NTFS for boot and still got the same error message when I went to browse the drive.  I'm wondering if it'll just be easier for me to take the drive out and throw it in the computer I'm currently using to get the files I need
[20:11] <Troofy> soundray thanks. it works now i gues. :)
[20:11] <ChaosTheory> efirewic1, volume.app
[20:11] <ChaosTheory> efirewic1, volumecontrol.app
[20:11] <efirewic1> bk1979: might be.
[20:11] <ChaosTheory> efirewic1, volumeid
[20:11] <soundray> Troofy: to check what the variable is currently set to, do a 'echo $http_proxy'
[20:11] <ChaosTheory> efirewic1, volumeid is green.

[20:13] <sagredo> hi
[20:13] <sagredo> how can I see what sound devices are working
[20:14] <scott__> hi dose any know of a program that makes dvd slideshows with music
[20:14] <genii> hunter__: make sure build-essentials is installed. Then in the workver directory,: make; sudo make install; depmod -a
[20:14] <ChaosTheory> efirewic1, okay, I reinstalled.
[20:14] <ChaosTheory> efirewic1, should I restart?
[20:14] <nmdd> how to make live ubuntu @ flash key storage ?
[20:14] <efirewic1> chaostheory: I would reboot just to be safe
[20:15] <soundray> !install | nmdd, scroll down the install page for instructions
[20:15] <ubotu> nmdd, scroll down the install page for instructions: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate
[20:15] <genii> hunter__: You should then be able to load it with:   sudo modprobe gspca
[20:15] <ChaosTheory> efirewic1, well, double-clicking on it right now gives me the same message.
[20:15] <hunter__> genii i am a newbie, could u help me with that stepwise pls
[20:15] <JohnnyHempseed> soundray thanks alot man

[20:19] <hunter__> it is on the desktop, could u tell me the command for it pls
[20:19] <sagredo> Hi
[20:19] <kium> thats why i want to explain it privatly guys
[20:19] <sagredo> Hey everyone
[20:19] <sagredo> Question
[20:19] <nikitis> Is there a Linux Download manager for HTTP downlaods that can control how much bandwith you use?
[20:19] <hischild> kium, very well. You can pm me if you want me to assist you.
[20:19] <esteth> nikitis: I think kget has that feature, allthough i am not sure
[20:20] <sagredo> In Ubuntu, how can I see what sound devices are connected/functioning with the system
[20:20] <hischild> nikitis, i've been thinking about that. Take a look at wondershaper.
[20:20] <esteth> sagredo: lsof /dev/snd/* at a terminal
[20:20] <efirewic1> sagredo: if you open your volume control it will show you devices under "file"
[20:20] <genii> hunter__: cd ~/Desktop; tar -xvzf workver2.tar.gz ; cd workver; make;sudo make install;sudo depmod -a;sudo modprobe gspca
[20:20] <Stroganoff> nikitis: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default&section=all&arch=any&searchon=all&keywords=download+manager
[20:21] <JPRuskin> randomly: if GRUB is definately not working, is it worth installing LILO or elilo and should I be more scared of them as opposed to GRUB?
[20:21] <sagredo> efirewic1: how can I launch a volume control window?
[20:21] <esteth> sagredo: Ignore my previous reply, i misunderstood your question. That command will tell you which apps are using sound
[20:21] <hischild> JPRuskin, there's no reason to be scared of a different bootloader then grub. They're not default, that's all.
[20:21] <sagredo> esteth: Thank you for your help :)
[20:21] <hischild> kium, you have to be registered to pm. Are you registered?
[20:21] <efirewic1> ssagredo: esteth's suggest is better
[20:21] <hunter__> let me try

[20:22] <esteth> efirewic1: That command won't work, as i mentioned in a follow up
[20:22] <kium> i will register
[20:22] <efirewic1> chaostheory: i guess not
[20:22] <efirewic1> sorry
[20:22] <Anthony> From your guys' past experience, which is the most enjoyable GUI for Ubuntu? I am loving the default (I think it is GNOME right?)
[20:22] <Anthony> I wanted sort of an OSX feel
[20:22] <sagredo> I used alsamixer in terminal
[20:22] <TimothyP> Anthony: I like gnome because indeed it feels like OSX, but also because it's not bloated
[20:22] <Cyborg> hi
[20:22] <esteth> Anthony: Dzen + Dmenu + xmonad is what i like, but that sort of talk really belongs in the chat channel, not the support channel
[20:22] <TimothyP> and because it offers great API's and plug points for developers
[20:22] <sagredo> but all the channels appear to be audible
[20:22] <efirewic1> esteth: good one, I just saw the command line and figured it would give more specific info... I should read more..
[20:22] <Cyborg> how can i see my kubuntu version with a command ?
[20:22] <Anthony> esteth: How would I reach that?
[20:23] <sagredo> my speakers are not playing anything though
[20:23] <Pici> Cyborg: lsb_release -a
[20:23] <Cyborg> 10x
[20:23] <tj13820> hello all, i have a Lacie 160gb Firewire HDD, i am trying to connect it with a 4 pin connecter, and power supply. It is my teachers, and it isn't working on the macs or windows at school, so i brought it to a linux distro
[20:23] <TimothyP> whereas KDE is rather bloated, not always stable and not as open to developers (unless you're a harcore C++ dev)
[20:23] <stefan__> Anthony: have a look at gnome-look.org. using compiz and some themes you can get osx-feeling.. sorta :)
[20:23] <tj13820> problem is, it won't mount or show on desktop
[20:23] <TimothyP> stefan_ , Anthony: yeah I got a complete mac os lookalike xfce desktop set up :p
[20:23] <tj13820> how do i check to see if it is recognized as installed, or available in ubuntu
[20:23] <Anthony> TimothyP: Really? May I see a screen shot?
[20:24] <Anthony> Also, maybe some instructions on how to recreate it :D
[20:24] <TimothyP> I'll do better than that, I'll find the link to the guide I used
[20:24] <TimothyP> hang on
[20:24] <Anthony> Neat :]
[20:24] <sagredo> I have both a motherboard jack and a sound card.
[20:24] <esteth> Anthony: I've forgotten the name of the channel, it might be #ubuntu-lounge, i'll check the site
[20:24] <sagredo> I've tried both jacks
[20:24] <sagredo> and cannot get sound out of either
[20:25] <sagredo> What gives?!
[20:25] <esteth> efirewic1: No problem, it's an easy mistake to make in such a busy channel
[20:25] <Anthony> sagredo: Do you have your sound drivers?
[20:25] <sagredo> Anthony: I'm not sure
[20:25] <Pici> esteth, Anthony: #ubuntu-offtopic is the non-support channel.
[20:25] <Anthony> Do you know what sound card you have?
[20:25] <Anthony> Thanks Pici :]
[20:25] <sagredo> Anthony: Yes, but it has worked on past installs of Ubuntu
[20:25] <hunter__> the last 2 commands din do anything ginii
[20:25] <TimothyP> this is the Vista version http://xubuntublog.wordpress.com/2008/02/10/design-your-own-desktop-with-xfce-44/
[20:25] <sagredo> Anthony: It's the Sound Blaster Audigy
[20:26] <Anthony> Have you checked to make sure you dont have any silly mistakes?
[20:26] <TimothyP> and this is the leopard version: http://xubuntublog.wordpress.com/2008/02/15/design-your-own-desktop-with-xfce-44-part-2/
[20:26] <Anthony> Suchas, muted volume.
[20:26] <esteth> sagredo: Perhaps the sound chanel has been muted. launch alsamixer and make sure nothing is muted
[20:26] <Anthony> Oh, very nice!
[20:26] <Anthony> Thank you TimothyP!
[20:26] <sagredo> esteth: did that
[20:26] <TimothyP> np :)
[20:26] <sagredo> any other ideas?
[20:26] <sami> Anyone here any good a preseeding?
[20:26] <esteth> sagredo: unfortunately not :(
[20:26] <CShadowRun> Hmm, weird problem... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSjkTOLCMA4 (only 19 seconds long)
[20:26] <JPRuskin> hischild: Thanks, man. Works! Finally got a login screen.
[20:27] <sagredo> bummer
[20:27] <CShadowRun> I don't think anyone would belive me without the video, haha
[20:27] <CShadowRun> It's totally...totally weird.
[20:27]  * TimothyP is looking at it
[20:27] <efirewic1> sagredo: what devices show up for your sound in the volume app
[20:27] <efirewic1> ?
[20:27] <TimothyP> CShadowRun what is the problem then?
[20:27] <hischild> JPRuskin, good :-)
[20:27] <hunter__> gini the last two commands din do anything,
[20:28] <TimothyP> btw use a screencast tool :)
[20:28] <hunter__> is that alright?
[20:28] <CShadowRun> as you see, no fire = massive lag
[20:28] <CShadowRun> switch a bit of fire on? everything runs fine
[20:28] <TimothyP> hmmm
[20:28] <Troofy> georgy_28 thanks
[20:28] <Troofy> need help with wine. http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/8659/snapshot1wt8.pngX
[20:28] <CShadowRun> you'd expect it to be the other way around considering...lol
[20:28] <genii> hunter__: If no output from those last 2 commands then thats fine. If fails then a message occurs. Please use my name genii when messaging, or else I lose your replies to me easily
[20:28] <CShadowRun> "in ubuntu, you do more stuff, your computer gets faster! xD"
[20:28] <dhaval> hmm. where is the ubuntu developers channel?
[20:28] <Troofy> need help with wine. http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/8659/snapshot1wt8.png
[20:28] <CShadowRun> lol
[20:29] <ChaosTheory> Every time I reboot, the Ubuntu bar gets stuck after just a little bit, unless I press the shutdown button once.
[20:29] <ChaosTheory> then, it starts to load.
[20:29] <ChaosTheory> But, I lose my internet connection and I have to reinstall ndiswrapper each time.
[20:30] <efirewic1> chaostheory: but how's the sound?
[20:30] <genii> hunter__: Try to use some application which should need the camera now and see if it can.
[20:30] <ChaosTheory> efirewic1, not fixed.
[20:30] <JohnnyHempseed> is there a channel that offers help with secure shell only?
[20:30] <esteth> Troofy: Is that when you try to launch wine?
[20:30] <takazuka> Need help for Graphics Card driver ATI RADEON x1950 pro
[20:30] <Troofy> esteth when i want to configure wine. and now its not lauching any app too
[20:31] <slash_8787> hi!
[20:31] <efirewic1> chaostheory: this should help with the sound and the other problems as well... Kind of a last resort, but should fix everything... http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-602959.html
[20:31] <Anthony> TimothyP: Can I just run sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator awn-manager
[20:31] <Anthony> ?
[20:31] <Lamego> Troofy, I hope you are not trying to get your hw to work with wine...
[20:31] <Anthony> Instead of using the GUI?
[20:31] <hunter__> genii, sorry i am not able to send u pvt message,
[20:31] <esteth> Troofy: You could perhaps try to install a new version of wine using the ubuntu .deb from winehq
[20:31] <TimothyP> Anthony , I think you can, but only if you have the correct repository in /etc/apt/sources.list
[20:31] <hunter__> genii i get the webcamviever on my application list now, when i open that one i get an error message
[20:31] <Anthony> Thats a problem since I can't find the repository URL :P
[20:32] <ChaosTheory> efirewic1, I *really* don't want to reinstall. =(
[20:32] <TimothyP> oh
[20:32] <TimothyP> doesn't the guide say?
[20:32] <genii> hunter__: To send private messages you need to be registered on the freenode irc system.
[20:32] <TimothyP> (been ages since I did that)
[20:32] <ChaosTheory> efirewic1, I've already reinstalled twice.
[20:32] <Troofy> Lamego no.
[20:32] <hischild> Anthony, go to the wine site, then select download, then ubuntu, and follow the onscreen instructions :-)
[20:32] <efirewic1> chaostheory: really? are you doing anything that might cause problems?
[20:32] <Anthony> Nevermind, got it.
[20:32] <Troofy> esteth i just did. and it was working fine when i tried to change the paths where wine can ready a .exe
[20:32] <ChaosTheory> efirewic1, I don't think so.
[20:33] <ChaosTheory> efirewic1, the second time I didn't really need to reinstall.
[20:33] <TimothyP> :)
[20:33] <ChaosTheory> efirewic1, the first time, to.
[20:33] <ChaosTheory> *too
[20:33] <hunter__> genii error message is like this could not connect to  vedio device (/dev/vedio0) please check connection
[20:33] <slash_8787> please, i have a problem with my usb pen drive, the system dont read it.......do you can help me??
[20:33] <ChaosTheory> efirewic1, both times I could have fixed it by just doing some extra stuff.
[20:33] <takazuka> Need help for Graphics Card driver ATI RADEON x1950 pro
[20:33] <sami> Anyone here any good a preseeding? I'v got an preseed that does an unattended install. But it doesn't work unless it's plugged in to the net, it has to verify the apt sources.
[20:34] <sagredo> Hi
[20:34] <sagredo> How can I expand the default 2 workstations to 4 or more?
[20:34] <Troofy> esteth whats wrong
[20:34] <Troofy> Lamego ?
[20:34] <Odd-rationale> sagredo: rightclick and select preferences
[20:34] <esteth> Troofy: then i'm not sure. Maybe you could purge (sudo apt-get purge wine) and reinstall. Failing that i'm not sure
[20:35] <Lamego> Troofy, I am not following you thread, sorry
[20:35] <Troofy> esteth ok
[20:35] <Troofy> second problem.
[20:35] <Troofy> dpkg: error processing heimdal-kdc (--configure):

[20:35] <Odd-rationale> sagredo: right-click the workspace switcher that is...
[20:35] <efirewic1> chaostheory: I don't know. I haven't ever had to reinstall..
[20:35] <slash_8787> there is someboby that help me? please
[20:35] <pygmymath> Yo all, anyone had experience with using a new 9 series nvidia card?
[20:36] <genii> hunter__: Sorry then. Perhaps you require some other driver than the one which you just compiled. Or there can be another issue. But webcams are not my area of expertise
[20:36] <ChaosTheory> efirewic1, I'll leave sound alone for now.
[20:36] <sagredo> Odd-rationale: got it, ty
[20:36] <Odd-rationale> sagredo: np

[20:37]  * Troofy waits for help
[20:37] <efirewic1> chaostheory: if you check out that link I sent, someone just used a generic kernel and everything is ok...
[20:37] <ChaosTheory> efirewic1, I don't know what a "generic kernel" is.
[20:38] <ChaosTheory> efirewic1, in any case, I need to transfer some files now.

[20:38] <Troofy> unocrash ok

[20:39] <Troofy> unocrash i just pasted an error
[20:39] <Troofy> dpkg: error processing heimdal-kdc (--configure):  subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1  Errors were encountered while processing: heimdal-kdc
[20:39] <Troofy> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[20:39] <Troofy> unocrash i was dling some apps
[20:39] <Lamego> Troofy, have you tried to remove the package ?
[20:39] <unocrash> Troofy: Can you put that all in pastebin?
[20:39] <dalek_> ndiswrapper not working with my wireless card.... need help
[20:40] <Survivorman> !paste | Troofy
[20:40] <ubotu> Troofy: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic)
[20:40] <Troofy> unocrash thats the full error. Lamego i just type  sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev libpcre3-dev liblua5.1-sql-mysql-dev pike7.6-mysql libmysqlclient15-dev libpq-dev libgnutls-dev
[20:40] <Troofy> and got this
[20:40] <razorback> Anyone know of any way to convert video clips to dv format to use on Kino
[20:40] <Troofy> dpkg: error processing heimdal-kdc (--configure):  subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1  Errors were encountered while processing: heimdal-kdc

[20:40] <Lamego> Troofy, sudo apt-get remove heimdal-kdc
[20:40] <Troofy> Lamego ok
[20:40] <sami> genii: It's not going to be plugged in to the net while doing it.
[20:41] <Lamego> Troofy, why do you need thos -deve packages ?  Debian-installer is made that way, it automaticlly verifies sources.list to chech if it's correct. If not the install stops and asks for a diffrent mirror.
[20:43] <crdlb> realmccoy: you mean ccsm? what's wrong with it?
[20:43] <dalek_> I cna't get the dell wireless broadcom 4328 driver to load for the life of me. I've tried fwcutter, ndiswrapper. Don't see it in restricted device manager, don't see it as an option on my network icon, and it shows unclaimed
[20:43] <sagredo> hi
[20:43] <Lamego> Troofy, have you checked if there is an inspircd package on the repositories ?
[20:43] <takazuka> I've been waiting for an answer there is no : no i don't know or yes there is
[20:43] <sagredo> how can I force a window to close?
[20:43] <sagredo> if it will not close from "x"ing out
[20:43] <Troofy> Lamego there isnt

[20:43] <ubotu> takazuka: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[20:43] <Lamego> takazuka, we are volunteers and we do not have all the answers, if you dont like it, leave please
[20:43] <kindofabuzz> takazuka: what's the question?
[20:43] <Troofy> Lamego i comlain that ubuntu do not update good. wine is 46 in repos. the latest is 48
[20:44] <takazuka> thanks Kindo
[20:44] <razorback> georgy_28 willl try also
[20:44] <takazuka> Need help for Graphics Card driver ATI RADEON x1950 pro
[20:44] <amenado> sami then knowing that the debian-installer does those things, and you dont have your system connected to a network to perform such function, then why do you expect it to work?
[20:44] <Lamego> Troofy, ok
[20:44] <unocrash> dalek_: And you have Ubuntu (6.06/7.04/7.10)? or what?
[20:44] <kindofabuzz> not my forte
[20:44] <dalek_> 7.10
[20:44] <boggystudios> I need an RSS generator to produce and RSS file from a text file or something similar.  Does any one here know of a simple solution?
[20:44] <takazuka> k
[20:44] <takazuka> thx
[20:44] <Troofy> Lamego when is the next version of ubuntu comeing?
[20:44] <efirewic1> dalek_: this link helped me alot https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsDell
[20:44] <unocrash> Troffy: 21 days
[20:44] <dalek_> unocrash, I think I've googled everything
[20:45] <dalek_> cool, let me check it out
[20:45] <unocrash> Troofy: 21 days. You can download the beta. I'm running right now.
[20:45] <Survivorman> Troofy, just because I program is the latest does not mean it's the best or most stable. Getting into a distro requires some testing and fine tuning.
[20:45] <sami> amenado: I'm asking if there is such a sulution. To not having d-i to autocheck if sources.list is correct
[20:45] <Survivorman> *a
[20:45] <lionroar> hi - can i somehow run xdm inside xnest? do i need to use XDMCP on localhost for this? i know its an odd request
[20:45] <sculework> Stroganoff: appears to be kdm
[20:45] <dwad> where other than \user\share\fonts could I have hebrew fonts on my machine?
[20:45] <Stroganoff> sculework i dont have kdm installed
[20:45] <sami> amenado: Have you ever made a preseed?
[20:45] <chetnick> how to remove shockwave flash plugin from firefox
[20:45] <chetnick> ?
[20:46] <amenado> sami-> nope not created my own, only copied
[20:46] <Troofy> unocrash Survivorman usualy latest is better.
[20:46] <unocrash> Dalek_: What's your OS Release Number? e.g. Ubuntu 7.10
[20:46] <dalek_> ahhh I've been to that link
[20:46] <Troofy> unocrash is it going fine?
[20:46] <sculework> Stroganoff: gdm then, if you go to /proc/<pid of process>/ and the sudo cat stat you will get a better idea
[20:46] <sami> amenado: Then you might know the "power" of it, so to say.
[20:46] <Troofy> unocrash can you check that it has a inspircd app in the repos?
[20:46] <unocrash> Troofy: a few bugs. It's good.
[20:46] <jPratt> Ok is there any P2P's for Ubuntu?
