[04:19] <Maheanuu> If I go into bios, I should be able to stop the raid setup there and then I will just have the 5 drives totally available, then after I do my install of Ubuntu, I should be able to setup mdadm and see all the drives and set up the raid5 array similar to how I would set them up undr windoze???
[04:19] <BlondieNL> no i just checked what i typed in earlier and thats the same.. hmm :S
[04:19] <BlondieNL> ah well it did it work now :)
[04:19] <lars__> its a dlink dwl-122 revC
[04:20] <siv0x> How can i get to my system sources?
[04:20] <lars__> i added rt2570 and rt2x00 modules but network-manager-gnome still list the device as unkown.
[04:20] <m12> how do you make a file 'hidden' without changing the name?
[04:20] <stefg> Maheanuu: are yu tgrying to /create/ a raid, or are you trying to mount an existing array?
[04:21] <kingace> is google down for anyone else?
[04:21] <IndyGunFreak> kingace, works fine for me
[04:21] <kingace> damn you comcast
[04:21] <Maheanuu> stefg, I was trying to create an array, I would like to explain all but this page is going too fast for me to keep up
[04:22] <ezenu> Isn't there something I can install so I can have man pages for C/C++ library functions, like std::string, printf, etc? I forgot the name of the package
[04:22] <Maheanuu> I am a newbie in Linux, but I am surely not a quitter, the amount of expertise gained in anything is equal to the cube of the equipment destroyed (old navy addage)
[04:23] <Turophile> Hey Ubuntu folks, I heard tell these's a laptop a bunch of you all seem to run (the developers)... don't suppose anyone knows the model?  (looking at a laptop)
[04:23] <kingace> why would gparted be unable to set a new disklabel on a disk?
[04:23] <stefg> Maheanuu: then proceed like you said: switch the fakeraid off in Bios and have all partitions separate. then create the (soft) array like explained in the documentation
[04:23] <diskus> Turophile: model?
[04:23] <lilly> how do i prevent my laptop from going into suspend mode? it always lock me out after going into suspense
[04:23] <Turophile> diskus: Not sure tbh :)
[04:23] <diskus> Turophile: I have hp zv6158, runs fine
[04:23] <IndyGunFreak> Turophile, just because it works one laptop, doesn't mean it would work "out of the box" for you
[04:23] <IndyGunFreak> any laptop will work
[04:23] <Turophile> IndyGunFreak: I run Gentoo usually :)
[04:23] <lilly> works fine on my vaio sz38
[04:23] <Turophile> There is no "out of the box"
[04:23] <diskus> hp usualy has generic hardware in laptops
[04:24] <Turophile> It's "6 weeks of compiling later"
[04:24] <IndyGunFreak> well, then why are you asking here?
[04:24] <Turophile> Apparently a bunch of devs run similar laptops from Ubuntu
[04:24] <lilly> how do i prevent my laptop from going into suspend mode? it always lock me out after going into suspense
[04:24] <Turophile> Sorry, it's 2:30[am] , that wording was terrible.
[04:24] <IndyGunFreak> i've got a new to me laptop coming in a few days,
[04:24] <IndyGunFreak> i plan to hook it up wirelessly, install Xubuntu 6.10
[04:25] <Turophile> mmm
[04:26] <ezenu> isn't there some package, e.g., a deb to be apt-getted, that has man pages for things like std::string, printf, etc?
[04:26] <kingace> is there a terminal option to just format a disk completely?
[04:27] <stefg> kingace: man mkfs
[04:27] <balutix> what does "sudo ln -sf bash /bin/sh" mean. what is that commando supposed too do?
[04:27] <elkbuntu> Turophile, IBM Thinkpad, i believe is what you're after
[04:27] <siv0x> Can anyone tell me the cmd to edit sourcelist in konsole?
[04:27] <IndyGunFreak> i think i just used diskpartitioner to format my USB drive so i could use it.
[04:28] <Turophile> elkbuntu: That's what I thought.
[04:28] <Turophile> Ta :)
[04:28] <mike> Hi Ubuntusers
[04:28] <jim__> hi mike
[04:28] <Turophile> Anyway, I'm off to bed now, ta guys :)
[04:29] <kingace> stefg: thanks. it wont ever format the partition im in right now right?
[04:29] <kingace> stefg: as in, the ubunut partition
[04:29] <mike> here i am...a newbie just installing latest ubuntu
[04:29] <mike> anyone can help me please? its about installing a webcam with amsn
[04:30] <IdleOne> !hi | mike
[04:30] <ubotu> mike: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[04:30] <stefg> kingace: you could theoretically, but mkfs will refuse to work on a mounted fs... which / is, for sure
[04:30] <balutix> what does "sudo ln -sf bash /bin/sh" mean. what is that commando supposed too do?
[04:30] <mike> thanks Idleone and ubotu
[04:30] <kingace> stefg: thanks
[04:30] <IndyGunFreak> mike, i've read other people having trouble setting that up, but I've never done it, sorry i can't help
[04:31] <mike> i believe i got the right "programs" to get my webcam working. The only problem is that I don't know how to install them
[04:32] <IndyGunFreak> is the program in the repositories?
[04:32] <mike> its very basic i know
[04:32] <kingace> ok, i just formatted an entire hard disk sucessfully using mkfs, but in gparted it still gives me an error when i try to partition
[04:32] <kingace> it says that it cannot set a disklabel
[04:32] <mike> no...i downloaded in my desktop Indy
[04:32] <Everflex> damn, isn't it possible to just autoconfigure fstab somehow? like when Ubuntu is installed, it is autoconfigured accordingly to the harddrived and all.,.,.,
[04:32] <clop> hi, i just got a new keyboard which has lots of extra buttons ("stop", "play", "pause", etc.)  is there a way to hook these buttons up to commands?
[04:32] <IndyGunFreak> did you try searching the repositories, to see if its there?
[04:33] <KaLimeRo-> hello
[04:33] <mike> they are not there Indy....i'm talking about spcagui20060127
[04:33] <DarkLinux> true all

[04:35] <IndyGunFreak> KaLimeRo-, is it a Windows partition, you probably need to install Fat32 support
[04:35] <DarkLinux> so whats in it
[04:35] <DarkLinux> the files and stuf
[04:35] <KaLimeRo-> and how i do that ?
[04:35] <IdleOne> !webcam | mike
[04:35] <ubotu> mike: webcam is now easy to install on Linux; instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[04:35] <mike> i'll try that ubotu and come back
[04:35] <KaLimeRo-> IndyGunFreak and how i do that ?
[04:35] <DarkLinux> true ubotu
[04:36] <IndyGunFreak> KaLimeRo-, im nt a 100% sure, i'm looking.
[04:36] <KaLimeRo-> ok 10x ...
[04:36] <IndyGunFreak> I think XP formats in Fat32, i can't remember, maybe it uses NTFS
[04:36] <Cypher> darklinux: hi
[04:36] <Cypher> darklinux> hi
[04:36] <KaLimeRo-> its NTFS
[04:36] <IdleOne> mike, ubotu is a bot has loads of helpful info you can access it by typing /msg ubotu search-term i.e. /msg ubotu webcam
[04:36] <Cypher> hi darklinux
[04:37] <IndyGunFreak> KaLimeRo-, try this link, and reference section 1.15   http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Edgy
[04:37] <IndyGunFreak> KaLimeRo-, you are using Edgy, right?
[04:37] <KaLimeRo-> i think so .. egdy its 6.10 ?
[04:37] <DarkLinux> yeah
[04:37] <IndyGunFreak> yeah, 6.10 Edgy Eft
[04:38] <Ryugi> my monitor supports 85hz refersh rate but i can only set it to 60hz is there a way to get it to set to 85hz

[04:39] <tony_> hey could someone possibly help me with a weird issue with GNOME?
[04:39] <IndyGunFreak> tony_, just ask, if someone can help, they will
[04:40] <GreyGhost> !ask |  tony_
[04:40] <ubotu> tony_: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:40] <sjogren> IndyGunFreak: he just did ask :P
[04:40] <HeathenDan> can windows recognize and access a vfat partition created by gparted?
[04:40] <apokryphos> sjoerd: nope, he didn't.
[04:40] <IndyGunFreak> i didn't see it...lol, so ask again..lol
[04:40] <tony_> lol ubotu... usually I have to see if someone's paying attention first, otherwise I'll just ask and nobody will respond
[04:40] <Klotzki> how can i "apt-cdrom add" a remote dvd, i don't find the mountpoint??
[04:40] <tony_> anyways I'm having the problem described here: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/control-center/+bug/61381
[04:41] <GreyGhost>  tony_ , ubotu is a bot ... ;)
[04:41] <stefg> !apt | Klotzki
[04:41] <ubotu> Klotzki: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[04:41] <balutix> im trying too install my ati radeon 9000 card with the binary drives.. i've followed the guide on the site and i'm on this part "http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39479/" but it says that "Requested package is not supported."
[04:41] <IndyGunFreak> i hate error mesages.
[04:41] <Klotzki> nautilus already recognizes the remote dvd (windows-smb-share)
[04:41] <tony_> when I login, I get my background color for a long time, and a little window that eventually says "GNOME Settings Daemon couldn't start."
[04:41] <tony_> takes like 5 minutes to login.
[04:42] <stefg> balutix: you have universe / multiverse enabled?
[04:42] <stefg> !repos
[04:42] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[04:42] <IndyGunFreak> tony_, what do you think you did that caused this, or has it always done t?
[04:42] <balutix> i think so yeah
[04:42] <tony_> it just did it today... only abnormal thing I did last night was that Firefox was in the middle of downloading something when I pressed "Shut Down"
[04:43] <tony_> but I've rebooted since and same problem
[04:43] <IndyGunFreak> hmm, i have no idea, doesn't make sense that would cause this.
[04:43] <s_spiff> any1 here has any exprience in editing the fstab?
[04:43] <tony_> I've tried removing IPv6 support from /etc/network/interfaces and turning of ESD, which were suggested in the link I sent
[04:43] <IndyGunFreak> install any new packages, programs, etc?
[04:43] <balutix> where do i check if i have that enabled or not?
[04:44] <tony_> no, but when I looked at my xsession-errors file it said nm-applet was causing problems so I removed it... but that didn't help
[04:44] <stefg> !easysource | balutix

[04:44] <IndyGunFreak> man, has anyone looked at #Fedora, that place is less exciting than a funeral
[04:45] <mrChuck> hi, everyone
[04:45] <tony_> so I googled it and apparently there's LOTS of people having this problem for various different reasons
[04:45] <ewook> Looked at it as much as on the distro ;P
[04:45] <frandavid100> hi
[04:45] <Klotzki> ubotu: aptget howto does not mention apt-cdrom
[04:45] <tony_> hi mrChuck
[04:45] <stefg> Klotzki: so man apt or Google
[04:46] <frandavid100> Ubuntu is not mounting my SD cards, any help on how I could solve it?
[04:47] <tony_> someone on another page in the ubuntu forums said this problem is caused by GConf not shutting down cleanly
[04:47] <Klotzki> stefg: i already did, i'm familiar with apt-cdrom, i only need to know _where_ nautilus mounts smb-shares
[04:47] <balutix> mkay i have that site up now. but what do i do with it?
[04:47] <tony_> how would I go about diagnosing/fixing that if that's the case?
[04:47] <IndyGunFreak> tony_, just do what the rest of us do when we have a problem, back up and reinstall..lol
[04:47] <GreyGhost> tony_ ,did u remove any gnome utils?
[04:47] <balutix> do i write "deb http://no.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy main restricted " in the terminal or what?
[04:47] <IndyGunFreak> some switch distros in the process.
[04:47] <tony_> yeah LOL M$ has trained us all well, haven't they?
[04:48] <tony_> no GreyGhost
[04:48] <stefg> Klotzki: ah... Nautilus doesn't mount samba-shares, you need smbfs or fusesmb for that
[04:48] <IndyGunFreak> tony_, well you had to do something
[04:48] <tony_> is there a way to repair the filesystem while keeping all my settings/etc?
[04:48] <GreyGhost>  tony_ ,try installing gnome control centre ...
[04:48] <IndyGunFreak> just shutting down during a download wouldn't cause this.
[04:48] <siv0x> Can anyone in here tell me how to update my java to 1.5+ ?
[04:48] <tony_> ok GreyGhost
[04:49] <IndyGunFreak> GreyGhost, thats a good idea
[04:49] <balutix> stefg: do i write "deb http://no.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy main restricted " in the terminal or what?
[04:49] <tony_> oh, I noticed one more symptom...
[04:49] <GreyGhost> !gnome-control-centre
[04:49] <IndyGunFreak> or maybe try to install the Xubuntu Desktop beside Gnome, and see if you still get the error when you boot XFCE
[04:49] <siv0x> !java
[04:49] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository
[04:49] <tony_> any time I launch gedit or whatever that has a window from a terminal, it takes FOREVER to load.
[04:49] <IndyGunFreak> hmmm
[04:50] <indianaj> I need help: when i turn on, it says something like 'you have to add -name_I_gave_to_my_pc- to /etc/hosts'. i tried with VI, but it still doesn't work. what's the sintax? can you help?
[04:50] <siv0x> !multiverse

[04:50] <tony_> ok gnome-control-center is already installed... should I reinstall it?
[04:50] <khermans> my /var/lib is taking up 9 GB, how can i clean it up?
[04:50] <stefg> balutix: let go of the command line for a bit... check in your menu, there's a GUI applet for selecting software sources in gnome
[04:50] <Maheanuu> OK, I have disconnected all my drives other than the install one that I am putting Ubuntu on..  It is a 400gig seagate sata II the other 5 are 320 gig maxtors sata II also I am loading 6.06.1 on the seagate as I am typing
[04:50] <GreyGhost> tony_ ,yep ... i suggest this off .... http://gnomesupport.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=454
[04:50] <IndyGunFreak> tony_, probably, i think thast what he as suggesting.
[04:50] <Klotzki> stefg: pity, thanks so far
[04:50] <hkq35> how can I unsubscribe myself from fileroller/bugzilla/ emails
[04:51] <LameBMX> Maheanuu, dang man .. lots o space there
[04:51] <tony_> k
[04:51] <IndyGunFreak> tony_,  then after it installs, restart and see what happens
[04:51] <GreyGhost>  tony_ ,never had the problem myself ... but if it fixed the problem for others maybe it will for u too...
[04:51] <tony_> k
[04:51] <KaLimeRo-> IndyGunFreak i dont really understant what they tell me on the web
[04:51] <IndyGunFreak> GreyGhost, or maybe his computer will start to smoke and catch fire
[04:51] <Maheanuu> I am trying to build up a audio/video/photo wurk station
[04:51] <IndyGunFreak> KaLimeRo-, its pretty clear instructions
[04:51] <tony_> ok wish me luck guys... see you in about 15 minutes if it doesn't work LOL
[04:51] <GreyGhost> IndyGunFreak , lol ;)
[04:52] <marco10122002> hallo
[04:52] <KaLimeRo-> i did it but its tell me somthing missing
[04:52] <LameBMX> Maheanuu, might i suggest lookin into raid0 ... no data integrity but with that many drives a couple raid-o's to process between will reall speed up video work
[04:52] <IndyGunFreak> then install whats missing.
[04:52] <IndyGunFreak> problem solved..lol
[04:52] <IndyGunFreak> like i said, i'm not super familiar with the process,
[04:52] <cryoedge> I just started using ubuntu linux and I need to install fonts (including ttf), can anyone help me with this. I don't know how  to do it. tia
[04:52] <Maheanuu> What I want to do is run the 5 320's as a raid5 array for storage and safety....  I will prolly leave the seagate as the platform
[04:52] <IndyGunFreak> i just format all my drives in ext3 and Linux reads them fine
[04:53] <freeeeeez> alright i got one more question.. how can i mount an fat32 drive for read support.. i dont have to have write
[04:53] <freeeeeez> i followed some directions on the net
[04:53] <balutix> stefg: mkay found it. all the boxes on the first page there is enabled
[04:53] <freeeeeez> but didn't work
[04:53] <GreyGhost> !fat32
[04:53] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - See also !fuse
[04:53] <IndyGunFreak> KaLimeRo-, try that link just posted by ubotu
[04:53] <freeeeeez> ok
[04:54] <stefg> balutix: ok, good. So the installer is dependant on a package which isn't in the repositories..
[04:54] <LameBMX> Maheanuu, never played with raid5 but havent heard of anything that touches raid0 throughput ... just my 2 cents though
[04:54] <IndyGunFreak> hey, does anyone know how i can make it so when i click a link in X-chat, it opens in a tab in Firefox, as opposed to opening up Konq(which reminds me of KDE, which makes my retinas burn)
[04:54] <stefg> balutix: installing build-essential wouldn't hurt, maybe
[04:55] <IndyGunFreak> firefox is seet as my default browser
[04:55] <lerneaen_hydra> Maheanuu: what type of video work are you going to be doing?
[04:55] <Mez> IndyGunFreak - theres an option somewhere to choose the browser

[04:57] <GreyGhost> freeeeeez ,u mean to say that u want to remove write support right?
[04:57] <Mez> IndyGunFreak .... you're using KDE or gnome ?
[04:57] <IndyGunFreak> X-chat opens Konq for some reason

[04:59] <freeeeeez> should i remove that or not?
[04:59] <freeeeeez> what i typed in fstab
[04:59] <freeeeeez> before i go ahead with these instructions
[05:00] <batch> ?
[05:00] <batch> why do you want to remove it
[05:00] <batch> you mounted your win32 partition
[05:00] <freeeeeez> because it didn't work
[05:00] <freeeeeez> it didn't show up in media/windows
[05:00] <freeeeeez> nothing happened
[05:00] <freeeeeez> so its not mounted

[05:01] <IndyGunFreak> man there's a lot of Linux chatrooms on Freenode
[05:01] <ewook> whats the timeout periods 'n stuff?
[05:01] <stefg> ewook: depends on the stability of your network
[05:01] <freeeeeez> ok thanks
[05:01] <IndyGunFreak> i didnt' realize nearly every distro has a room on freenode.
[05:01] <ezman> Having problems getting into the forum am I bannded ???
[05:01] <GreyGhost> bbl ... cya all...
[05:01] <freeeeeez> im just gonna delete what i typed in fstab
[05:02] <ewook> stefg, I know :) it might be up on boot,
[05:02] <ewook> but, I've noticed that if connection is dropped, umounting it can be a bit tricky.
[05:02] <freeeeeez> oh and do i have to reboot the pc to make it mount?
[05:02] <stefg> ewook: i finally chose fusesmb
[05:02] <ewook> mount -a, is it not?
[05:03] <ezman> I can go anywhere else on the site but, not in a forum.

[05:04] <ewook> thanks stefg for the tip!
[05:04] <unimatrix9> WGA? on ubuntu...LOL
[05:04] <Everflex> god dammit, editing /etc/fstab by hand is a pain in the hand!
[05:04] <Pan7h3r> .restart
[05:04] <Pan7h3r> hmm
[05:04] <IndyGunFreak> no, WPA-PSK, or whatever ti is.

[05:04] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[05:04] <IndyGunFreak> relax dude
[05:05] <unimatrix9> depends on your wireless card,
[05:05] <IndyGunFreak> oh does it?
[05:05] <IndyGunFreak> i figured setting it up was fairly universal
[05:06] <Everflex> stefg: :P hehe :D
[05:06] <ezman> is the forum Down ???
[05:06] <IndyGunFreak> what are the security protocols again for Wireless, WEP, WPA, and WPA-PSK, right?
[05:06] <IndyGunFreak> i'm not getting wireless till next week(first experience), so i got a lot of time to ask stupid questions.
[05:06] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[05:06] <Maheanuu> stefg, I am in the middle of the setup of Dapper alternate and everything looks really good so far
[05:07] <ezman> is the forum Down ???
[05:07] <ewook> ezman, what forum?
[05:07] <IndyGunFreak> ezman, the forum
[05:07] <IndyGunFreak> ?
[05:08] <ezman> The help forum
[05:08] <IndyGunFreak> what help forum
[05:08] <IndyGunFreak> there's a dozen
[05:08] <Maheanuu> am using a 400gig seagate as the primary disk at present, and will try to set up the other five maxtors as the raid array after I get on line in a few minutes.. I will also try to get back in here from that machine as soon as I install the IRC
[05:08] <ezman> ubuntu
[05:08] <IndyGunFreak> ubuntuforums.org seems to be working fine, i'm there now.
[05:08] <ewook> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions ?
[05:09] <ezman> I cant get in it will not load
[05:09] <ewook> ezman, could you be a bit more precise on what forum you're talking about?
[05:09] <ezman> am I banded from the forum
[05:09] <ewook> ezman, provide me with a link to this forum you're talking about...
[05:09] <Maheanuu> which forum ezman??
[05:09] <smithveg> who use sound recorder in ubunbtu before?
[05:10] <ezman> I would if I could
[05:10] <ezman> ubuntuforums.org
[05:10] <ewook> Now I don't follow ya.
[05:10] <ewook> well, it's up
[05:10] <unimatrix9> for wireless, ubuntu does wpa , or wep, but it depends much on the card you use, oronico cards ( prism 1 -2 ) are doing well i think
[05:10] <smithveg> i seems cannot record the voice from a microphone, someone know how?
[05:11] <unimatrix9> so do the intersil chipsets
[05:11] <ezman> I made a post last night or real early this morning and since then cant get in....
[05:11] <IndyGunFreak> unimatrix9, so what card would you recommend to make WPA work well?
[05:11] <unimatrix9> but before you buy a card be sure to get lots of info and reading
[05:12] <ezman> GNOME/ GNOME Desktop
[05:12] <ewook> do a ping on ubuntuforums.org
[05:12] <unimatrix9> i dont have wpa, i got an wep card, so cant really give good advice on that
[05:12] <IndyGunFreak> unimatrix9, thats why i'm asking a week in advance...lol
[05:12] <ezman> Did I get someone wired up???
[05:12] <Maheanuu> stefg, can I chat with you for a few???
[05:12] <unimatrix9> any one got WPA on his wireless with ubuntu?
[05:12] <ewook> ezman, huh? how about just clensing your cookies n stuff and try again?
[05:12] <Zarephath> Can someone explain what I need to do to correct this? sudo apt-get update E: Lists directory /var/lib/apt/lists/partial is missing.
[05:13] <ezman> I was wanting to post it to tips and tricks just worded differently
[05:13] <ezman> I did that
[05:13] <ezman> nothing
[05:13] <unimatrix9> ps : your accespoint should do WPA too
[05:13] <ewook> ezman, well, if you can't reach the site, can you reach other sites?
[05:14] <ezman> yes, all sites
[05:14] <ezman> just no forums
[05:14] <ezman> from ubuntu
[05:14] <ewook> how about http://<IP_ADDRESS>
[05:14] <unimatrix9> here is some first reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo
[05:15] <lnknpk04> hey folks, I'm trying to set up my wireless.  I get as far as getting the driver file recognized and it says "driver installed, device found" when i do ndiswrapper -l, but when i try to scan for Ap's, i get this "Interface doesn't support scanning : No such device"
[05:15] <lnknpk04> any ideas?
[05:15] <Zarephath> unimatrix9: Most are outdated...
[05:15] <borg> is there a program that tells you how much memory bandwidth your system is using?
[05:15] <Zarephath> lnknpk04: Did you try making sure the wireless interface is up?
[05:16] <unimatrix9> this one might be better? http://jeffrasmussen.wordpress.com/2006/05/13/ubuntu-wpa-goodness/
[05:16] <lnknpk04> whats that command?  i'm pretty sure i know what you're talking about and i dont think it worked
[05:16] <ezman> nope

[05:28] <ezman> nope
[05:28] <IndyGunFreak> no
[05:28] <Addos2> does anyone know how to mount ntfs manually and not have the filesystem owned and group owner be root?
[05:28] <Valmarko> tecnicaly , what is the best environment? gnome or KDE?
[05:28] <IndyGunFreak> i generally have gotten quicktime files to work with MPlayer, but ymmv
[05:28] <ezman> gnome
[05:28] <HeathenDan> Valmarko, xfce with xubuntu
[05:28] <IndyGunFreak> Addos2, technically, KDE caused me to have a brain tumor
[05:28] <HeathenDan> but im biased
[05:28] <IndyGunFreak> so i stick with Gnome or Xfce
[05:28] <saharaab> then i cant install Qt programs!!!!!
[05:28] <lnknpk04> lets try this again...
[05:29] <lnknpk04> can someone check this for me?  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39485/
[05:29] <ezman> read my post
[05:29] <lnknpk04> sorry for the earlier flood folks
[05:29] <saharaab> can i install amarok??
[05:29] <Addos2> whenever I mount NTFS manually I get this...
[05:29] <Addos2> dr-x------ 1 root   root   8192 2006-12-23 23:34 ntfs
[05:29] <HeathenDan> yes you can saharaab
[05:29] <Addos2> meaning most normal users can't get in the directory
[05:29] <ewook> ezman, there's no way I can find your post with just the info gnome.
[05:29] <seeds> hello
[05:30] <ezman> tab is gnome gnome desktop
[05:30] <seeds> i need a program to copy a video DVD to my computer
[05:30] <IndyGunFreak> i dont' care for amarok, thts just me though
[05:30] <saharaab> what's the path codecs in ubuntu is it /usr/lib/codecs ??
[05:30] <seeds> which one can i use?
[05:30] <saharaab> like SUSE
[05:30] <IndyGunFreak> Totem, Mplayer, etc, should all support Quicktime formats, provided the proper codecs are installed.
[05:30] <Valmarko> Well, i guess I'll stick with GNOME :)
[05:30] <HeathenDan> you can try using pmount Addos2. it doesnt need root access
[05:31] <ezman> ewook: Did you find it ???
[05:31] <saharaab> where can i install win codecs? path!!
[05:31] <ewook> ezman, in what part? new to ubuntu,  main support, other support?

[05:32] <ezman> Desktop environment
[05:32] <saharaab> i have the tarball for wincodecs where to install??
[05:32] <Addos2> why is mount setting the owner and group to root, with only basic permssions, and not letting me chown, chgroup, and chmod?
[05:32] <IndyGunFreak> does anyone else think Ubuntu should drop the KDE interface?
[05:32] <jbroome> if you don't like it, don't load it
[05:32] <dv_> why should it?
[05:32] <Addos2> Ubuntu doesn't use KDE, KUbuntu does
[05:33] <saharaab> ???
[05:33] <ezman> no
[05:33] <dv_> simply dont install it
[05:33] <IndyGunFreak> Addos2, you know what i mean
[05:33] <ezman> it shouldnt drop
[05:33] <skarface> it's not even part of the default installation. you have to want it to get it. what's your point? next.

[05:38] <unimatrix9> sorry
[05:38] <unimatrix9> :)
[05:38] <philo23> is there a way to install nubuntu from terminal: eg "apt-get install nubuntu-desktop"?
[05:38] <unimatrix9> thats the right one
[05:38] <cld2> is it possible, once I get my mythtv box in a working state to change the repos to only get security and bug fix updates, kind of like a debian stable style thing?
[05:38] <adaran_> hey everyone. i have no eth0, what could be the issue?
[05:38] <thoreauputic> unimatrix9: you can use dpkg-reconfigure too - I just can never remember which of gdm and kdm needs the reconfigure ( probably gdm)

[05:39] <fm> I've just bought an extern usb hard disk, I formatted it to reiserfs, I put in fstab "/dev/sda1  /media/externe reiserfs defaults",  it gets mounted, but I cannot write to it. Help!
[05:39] <adaran_> fm:  did you try defaults,rw instead of just defaults?
[05:39] <unimatrix9> fm what does fstab say ( only the line of the device
[05:39] <lupine_85> more likely a permissions error
[05:40] <thoreauputic> cedric30: try turning firestarter off then to see if it is the culprit
[05:40] <lupine_85> fm: add uid=1000 to the options line in fstab
[05:40] <fm> unimatrix9: /dev/sda1	/media/externe	reiserfs	defaults
[05:40] <cedric30> thoreauputic: Yes it operate in this case
[05:40] <lupine_85> that'll make it "belong" to you - the user
[05:40] <xgrazix> hello everybody! I'm using kubuntu in my laptop and I would like to use my sony dcs-w30 digital camera, but I don't know how... anyone could help me, please?
[05:40] <adaran_> xgrazix: have you tried plugging it in?
[05:41] <unimatrix9> xgrazix plug it man!
[05:41] <xgrazix> yes, but nothing happens
[05:41] <adaran_> xgrazix: don't know that camera, is it USB?
[05:41] <ewook> lol
[05:41] <dignick> Hello everybody.  Quick question.  I'm considering building a network all-in-one device to be stashed away in a cold room to just do its job.  I'd like to use compact flash (ide to compact flash) as the system drive.  I've found a decent 2gb CF card at a reasonable price, so I need to know now if that much storage is enough.  Also, does anyone have any advice for/against using CF?
[05:41] <xgrazix> yes, its usb
[05:41] <unimatrix9> use digikam
[05:41] <saharaab> usr/lib/win32 not found!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[05:41] <unimatrix9> and add the camera ( if its detected )
[05:41] <fm> lupine_85: uid=1000 --> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,
[05:41] <fm> trying rw
[05:41] <ewook> dignick, I'm for it, as long as you don't swap on it :)
[05:42] <seeds> please i need a program that would let me to copy a DVD movie to an iso file in my PC. What should i use??
[05:42] <thoreauputic> saharaab: /usr ( you forgot the / ? )
[05:42] <saharaab> ah!!
[05:42] <saharaab> sorry
[05:42] <dignick> I want it to be the only storage in this system
[05:42] <borg> heh, top doesnt tell me how much memory bandwidth i use, :/
[05:42] <seeds> please i need some help
[05:42] <cld2> can anyone explain to me how to get the cpu scaling to work? mine seems stuck at 1 ghz when its really a 2.8? thanks.
[05:42] <LilEndian> Hi, did anyone Reply?
[05:42] <dignick> 512 ram...
[05:42] <LilEndian> got disconnected
[05:42] <ewook> seeds - checked the add/remove program-thingy?
[05:43] <cedric30> thoreauputic: the problem is that VM search a NAT network for vmnet8 and firestarter block it so it search again and block all my computer searching
[05:43] <ewook> it has a nifty search function
[05:43] <xgrazix> I will try it, please wait
[05:43] <fm> yeah rw did it, thx adaran_ !!
[05:43] <thoreauputic> borg: look at  free -m ( the second line is more relevant)
[05:43] <cedric30> thoreauputic: I thought put an IP fixe to Vmplayer to solve the problem, but I don't know if it's possible
[05:43] <ezman> Who is the administrator
[05:43] <adaran_> fm no problem
[05:43] <dignick> ewook: why?
[05:44] <thoreauputic> cedric30: sorry I use iptables now - haven't used firestarter for quite a while

[05:44] <lardarse> ed?
[05:44] <lardarse> oops
[05:45] <adaran_> hmm why not? apparently some people use it... :P
[05:45] <lardarse> daedra: ?
[05:45] <ewook> dignick, a flashcard isn't really fast/ or capable of shifting around
[05:45] <thoreauputic> lardarse: what re you doing?
[05:45] <thoreauputic> *are
[05:45] <daedra> #windows lol
[05:45] <cedric30> thoreauputic: firestarter is just for configure iptable easily it's th same thing
[05:45] <thoreauputic> cedric30: i know
[05:45] <borg> top doesnt say anything at all, especially not memory bandwidth
[05:45] <ewook> dignick, so, plenty of memory, and then a flashcard :)
[05:45] <dignick> plenty...I was considering 512...enough?
[05:45] <lardarse> thoreauputic: mis-typing and mis-spelling some1's anme and assuming that it will tab-complete properly :-P
[05:45] <thoreauputic> borg: did you bother to read what i said? And what are you looking for?
[05:45] <lardarse> name*
[05:45] <thoreauputic> lardarse: ah
[05:46] <ewook> thoreauputic, something that displays the memory bandwitdh :)
[05:46] <borg> thoreauputic, yes i bothred to read the top's man page
[05:46] <borg> absolutely nothing about memory bandwidth
[05:46] <xgrazix> i used digikan, went to the camera menu and tell it to auto-detect my sony dsc-w30
[05:47] <dignick> ewook: plenty...I was considering 512...enough?
[05:47] <xgrazix> it recognized it as a " usb ptp class camera"
[05:47] <ezman> I saved a person from having to reinstall windows, Because of parental controls he couldnt find in ubuntu....
[05:47] <ewook> dignick, what are you gonna run on it?
[05:47] <xgrazix> but when i try to see the pics an error occurs...
[05:47] <ewook> ezman, that nice.
[05:47] <ewook> that's nice even
[05:48] <borg> and i'm not talking about how many kilobytes the programs i'm running are using of my memory i'm talking about how much bandwidth of the system bus is being used
[05:48] <dignick> ewook: not much...used as file server, azureus maybe web hosting at some point
[05:48] <ezman> he was going to have to switch back
[05:48] <TooR4u> how to install ubuntu server?
[05:48] <TooR4u> sudo apt-get install ...........?
[05:48] <lnknpk04> after i use 'vi' to edit something in the terminal, how do i save the changes?
[05:48] <ewook> dignick, well, ya, should be sufficient with 512 :)
[05:49] <burepe> Ktorrent just started crashing on me. Can anyone tell me how I can fix it? This is the out put when I start it in the command line http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39490/ and this is what the crash handler says http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39491/ Thanks
[05:49] <ewook> TooR4u,  get the cd-media, put it in - and done ;)
[05:49] <dignick> thanks ewook :)
[05:49] <TooR4u> ok
[05:49] <nalioth> TooR4u: ubuntu server has a specific iso available.  if you've got a regular Ubuntu install disk, install it and then install the server programs you need
[05:49] <xgrazix> unimatrix9, could u help me, please?
[05:49] <ewook> dignick, watch out for torrentflux or something else torrentrelated with python...
[05:49] <ezman> I showed him a link and now he gets all the ada-boys and reviews...
[05:49] <ewook> dignick, that will eat your memory right up :=
[05:49] <ewook> :)
[05:49] <ezman> maybe its better
[05:50] <lnknpk04> after i use 'vi' to edit sources.list in the terminal, how do i save the changes?
[05:50] <seeds> ewook: but which program should i look for
[05:50] <bds> :w
[05:50] <ewook> lnknpk04, esc : w
[05:50] <lnknpk04> gracias :)
[05:50] <dignick> hehe ok...o and another quick question...it's to be used as a gateway, so I could do with it being a firewall to the rest of the network...any tips?  I'm pretty new to all this!
[05:50] <bds> or to write and close
[05:50] <bds> :wq!
[05:51] <ewook> seeds, pardon, think I missed the first part of the conversation ;P
[05:51] <seeds> oh
[05:51] <ewook> seeds, witch program for what?
[05:51] <elvirolo> hi all
[05:51] <bds> hola
[05:51] <TooR4u> nalioth, can u plz tell me what kind of softwares i have to install??
[05:51] <seeds> i want a program to record a movie DVD to an iso file in my computer
[05:51] <dignick> I've come across firestarter, would that be any good?
[05:52] <nalioth> TooR4u: you install the software you need for your server
[05:52] <Maheanuu> are there any users from the pacific northwest in here at the moment?
[05:52] <ewook> seeds, aah! now, back on track :) search for DVD to begin with, then you should get a few hits - check what they do in the description
[05:52] <ezman> get me in and Ill post it.
[05:52] <ewook> TooR4u, that depends on what you wanna run on it
[05:53] <ewook> ezman, I can't really say that there's anything wrong with the site.
[05:53] <ewook> ezman, so my tip is that you get yourself in ;)
[05:53] <TooR4u> nalioth, ok.....I have no CD available now......
[05:53] <lnknpk04> worked like a charm, thx guys..now back to my wireless issue...
[05:53] <Maheanuu> ezman are you registered in the forum?
[05:53] <ezman> I can go to any site in ubuntu except for the forums
[05:53] <borg> thoreauputic, oh sorry i didnt see what you said about free -m, actually i didnt think when you guys said "free" that it was actually a command i thought you were talking about linux and open source, heh... anyway is the "buffer" part the part that tells me my bandwidth?
[05:53] <elvirolo> i'm planning to install ubuntu on a friend's old pc (128 M ram, 400 mhz CPU) ; he needs proprietary  codecs (MP3, etc.) but the computer doesn't have an internet connection, so i'll have to add all the packages on a usb key ... what do you recomment ? Linux mint ? Xubuntu ?
[05:53] <TooR4u> nalioth, i have to download the server package...?
[05:54] <ezman> yes, Im registered
[05:54] <TooR4u> can u tell me the cmd prompt for that
[05:54] <TooR4u> ?
[05:54] <jejh> ello, im making a ubuntu fileserver and i got a 120gb partition with ntfs, should i stick with ntfs or make it ext3?
[05:54] <wheels3572> Can someone help me with an ongoing problem im having.  It's increasingly geting alot better but still having issues with Sound.
[05:54] <ezman> EZ-man
[05:54] <nalioth> TooR4u: no, all the server packages are available in the repos
[05:54] <mseney> anyone here using serpentine successfully on edgy? write to disc button does nothing for me
[05:54] <ewook> TooR4u, exactly what are you looking for with the server version that cannot be done with the desktop version?
[05:54] <dignick> ewook or anyone else: Using this machine as a gateway and firewall, any advice?  I've come across firestarter before...
[05:54] <thoreauputic> borg: To be honest I don't quite understand what you mean by bandwidth - the seconf line shows buffers + cache IIRC
[05:55] <ezman> Maheanuu: look me up and email me.
[05:55] <thoreauputic> *second
[05:55] <Maheanuu> I would fire off an email to the powers that be in the Ubuntu site and explain to them your prob's and you should get an answer shortly
[05:55] <wheels3572> If your here crimsun I want to thank you for all your help lastnight it was greatly appreciated
[05:55] <ewook> dignick, ya, sound like a good idea, but then I would drop the idea with fileserver.
[05:55] <dignick> why?
[05:55] <ezman> I did to there welcome letter I wrote back.
[05:55] <borg> thoreauputic, bandwidth the rate at which the data is being transfered from the CPU to the RAM modules, ie, the System Bus's current bandwidth
[05:56] <thoreauputic> borg: ah OK - sory I don't know the answer to that one then
[05:56] <ewook> dignick, just a personal belief there. but, regarding router/gateway funtionallity, I'd recommend ipcop (a distro)
[05:56] <wheels3572> As for my issue.  I cant play any music or hear gaim sign on or off or anything like that.  But if I goto do the test.  I hear the sound tests just fine.  ANY idea what is up.  I have tried 3 differeint media players with ALL the same Results.  NO sound.
[05:56] <ewook> wheels3572, does the test-thingy and your applications use the same sound-system?
[05:56] <borg> :(
[05:57] <Maheanuu> wheels is your mb configured correctly, do you have a seperate sound card?
[05:57] <regeya> fun for the morning:  taking a pretty standard install, trying to move over to a drive that's 2.5x the storage space, want to put boot into separate partition and root managed via lvm.  much "fun" ensuing.
[05:57] <TooR4u> ewook, i am trying to install ubuntu server on my system
[05:57] <wheels3572> ewook, I have no idea what my media players are using for sound honestly ewook how would I find that out
[05:58] <lnknpk04> having wireless problems w/ ndiswrapper.  tried to do an ifup and this is what i got.  an someone check this for me?  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39485/
[05:58] <Spyder_uk> hi guys, does anyone have a problem with programs starting minimized and wont maximize? I think it has something to do with beryl
[05:58] <wheels3572> oooops
[05:58] <wheels3572> sorry if that spammed
[05:58] <ewook> TooR4u, ubuntu server 6.10 is a standalone distro - delivered without any graphical interface
[05:58] <ewook> TooR4u, so, your current setup is what?
[05:58] <michal_> join #skoczow
[05:58] <DreamDring> hi !
[05:58] <Kool-Aid> Hi
[05:58] <ewook> TooR4u, and what are you searching for?
[05:58] <TooR4u> ubuntu 6.10
[05:58] <Calandrino> hello
[05:58] <ewook> michal_, why?
[05:58] <Kool-Aid> Please join #freenode-newyears
[05:58] <Kool-Aid> =D
[05:58] <dignick> ewook: I've looked at ipcop.  It just seemed a bit beyond me...I am pretty new to linux but this idea has got me excited, I just hope the whole thing isn't beyond me!
[05:59] <wheels3572> Maheanuu, my motherboard is fine.  I have onboard sound shutoff and disabled in the bios.  Yes I have a sound blaster Audigy SE
[05:59] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: first step - try "killall esd" in a terminal ( often you have extra esd instances making a mess of sound - always worth a try)
[05:59] <regeya> ok, so this leads to the question:  if I try to move to a new drive and want my root (/) to be on an lvm volume, do I need to build a new initrd somehow?  also what's up with the uuids in /etc/fstab on edgy... :-}
[05:59] <ewook> TooR4u, well, what are is it you wanna accomplish ?
[05:59] <TooR4u> ewook, sorry i have no idea how to start the server .... thatswhy i am trying to install the server
[05:59] <ewook> dignick, oh, belive me - it isn't :)
[05:59] <irc> .
[05:59] <ewook> TooR4u, once again... WHAT server?
[06:00] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, is that killall esd or killall -9 esd?
[06:00] <ewook> webserver / ftpserver / etc
[06:00] <Fo1> .
[06:00] <TooR4u> ewook, any kind ....
[06:00] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: killall esd should be enough
[06:00] <TooR4u> webserver
[06:00] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: then restart your apps of course
[06:00] <TooR4u> ewook, can i im u?
[06:00] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, no process killed
[06:00] <jejh> ello, im making a ubuntu fileserver and i got a 120gb partition with ntfs, should i stick with ntfs or make it ext3?
[06:00] <ewook> TooR4u, well, for a webserver, just get the LAMP-package
[06:01] <miguel> hola
[06:01] <czedlitz> jejh, you have anything on it already ?
[06:01] <ewook> that's perl,apache,php and mysql
[06:01] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: OK that wasn't it then :) Have you checked alsamixer for muted channels?
[06:01] <TooR4u> ewook, for ftp server...?
[06:01] <czedlitz> jejh, or you starting with a clean 120 ?
[06:01] <jejh> czedlitz: yea filled with movies
[06:01] <lnknpk04> having wireless problems w/ ndiswrapper.  tried to do an ifup and this is what i got.  an someone check this for me?  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39485/
[06:01] <bds> does ubuntu use alsa?
[06:01] <ewook> there's plenty of different ftp-servers.
[06:01] <thoreauputic> bds: yes
[06:01] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, no
[06:01] <czedlitz> jejh, might want to get them off first, otherwise you will lose them, but i would go with ext3 personally
[06:01] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, alsamixergui and Gnome Alsa Mixer
[06:01] <ewook> I suggest you use the other - add/remove and search :)
[06:01] <bds> thoreauputic: shouldn't aslamixer work?
[06:01] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: have a look at alsamixer then - often one of the channels is on "m"
[06:02] <bds> heh
[06:02] <lupine_85> question - I think that 'mv' only deletes the source dir once it's completed copying it to the dest. Is that right?
[06:02] <thoreauputic> bds: umm? Yes it "works" - what do you mean?
[06:02] <Anon4160> Hello
[06:02] <magicfinger> hello all
[06:02] <magicfinger> stefg are you there
[06:02] <TooR4u> ewook, yaa i have installed Apache & Mysql & php ..... when ever i tried to open the *.php files then the prompt is download  prompt is comming
[06:02] <ewook> dignick, I don't think ipcop is beyond anyone.
[06:02] <TooR4u> what i have to do>
[06:02] <Anon4160> i have a doubt related with proftpd
[06:02] <thoreauputic> lupine_85: afaik mv just unlinks and relinks
[06:03] <bds> I am new to Ubunta from
[06:03] <Enselic``> is there a quick way to find out the nbr of files on your computer?
[06:03] <bds> Slackware
[06:03] <lupine_85> thoreauputic: I can't see that working when it's going across physical volumes
[06:03] <TooR4u> ewook, actually my problem is this
[06:03] <DreamDring> i encounter some problems trying to create an "alias" to a manual java installation. i explain my problem : i'm trying to do it using "update-alternatives --set java /usr/bin/jre" /usr/bin/jre is a "valid" link i created. but update-alternatives return this error : "update-alternatives: Cannot find alternative `/usr/bin/jre'." Does anyone know what's happen ?
[06:03] <bds> and alsamixer is where I usually look for things
[06:03] <DreamDring> pls
[06:03] <Enselic``> bds: first step, learn how to spell Ubuntu    ;)
[06:03] <daedra> HOW DO YOU TURN OFF THE STUPID LIGHTBULB IN OO.o
[06:03] <TooR4u> ewook, i have placed my *.php files in /var/ww/
[06:03] <thoreauputic> lupine_85: ah different case, yes - I don't know then
[06:03] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, grayed out or white.  Which is muted
[06:03] <bds> I guess we were thinking the same thing
[06:03] <TooR4u> ewook, but no use
[06:03] <lupine_85> ok, thanks anyway :)
[06:03] <daedra> its almost as bad as clippy :(
[06:03] <bds> about solving the sound problem
[06:04] <SMG2007> why if I access to my FTP from the browser (firefox or iexplorer), the special characters (like , etc) are not displayed properly
[06:04] <SMG2007> ?
[06:04] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: muted chans show as "M"
[06:04] <ewook> so, all services are upp and running, and you've placed your files in /var/www
[06:04] <thoreauputic> or MM actually
[06:04] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, ok must be in wrong one hold on lol
[06:04] <SMG2007> any1 knows?
[06:04] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: use tab and arrows
[06:04] <ewook> and using a webbrowser to then point to http://localhost/[phpfile] .php just gives you a download-window?
[06:04] <ewook> then, php isn't running
[06:04] <dignick> ewook: lol, ok.  Does it have decent hardware support out the box?  And how difficult would it be to get something like azureus running on it?  I would like this thing to be as all-in-one as possible, mounted on a wall next to my network switch :)

[06:05] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: "m" to unmute - but don't just unmut everything ( likely not to work)
[06:05] <bds> wheels3572: you can save your setings with 'alsactl save' and restore with 'alsactl restore'
[06:05] <magicfinger> ok, i tried to install ubuntu on my external hdd but my bios will not let me boot from that drive will this be the same for all operating systems

[06:05] <TooR4u> i have started the apache .....
[06:05] <TooR4u> but
[06:05] <frank_b> I can't find the "totem-xine-firefox-plugin packages in edgy's repositories. has this package been substituted by the "totem-mozilla" one?
[06:05] <ewook> dignick, oh... right... then I must say that it might become troublesome. getting azureus could prove a bit tricky (still duable tho)
[06:05] <SMG2007> any1 knows how to display special characters properly with proftpd?
[06:05] <TooR4u> i dont know what the problem is...
[06:06] <ewook> dignick, then, your first suggestion should be a bit nicer.
[06:06] <DreamDring> please, don't let me without help !
[06:06] <TooR4u> ewook, this problem is annoying me from 2 months
[06:06] <sreynolds00> I'm having an issue writing an ISO to cd.  I have tried k3b and the nautilus (i'm assuming, right click "write to CD")  Everytime, whichever method I am using to write the CD the program hangs on "Preparing to write CD."  All other apps are running fine, as I am staring at the hung up "Preparing to write CD" window right now.  How can I determine if my burner is borked or if I have some type of conflict?  This is my first go at linux  wi
[06:06] <TooR4u> now i am not able to do my php programs
[06:06] <ewook> TooR4u, mkay?
[06:06] <magicfinger> what problem is annoying you
[06:06] <ewook> php isn't running
[06:06] <thoreauputic> DreamDring:  sudo update-alternatives --config java
[06:06] <TooR4u> when ever i tried to run my php files then it is asking for download
[06:07] <dignick> ewook: ok, this is the thought process I have been through :) I'll persue this further on my own, and thanks for your help!

[06:07] <thoreauputic> DreamDring: but if you installed manually without a deb that won't do much I suspect
[06:07] <magicfinger> you need to set apach up properly
[06:07] <DreamDring> thoreauputic: gij is found but nothing else :s
[06:07] <TooR4u> ewook, what i have to do...?
[06:07] <thoreauputic> DreamDring: any reason why you installed manually ?
[06:07] <DreamDring> thoreauputic: yep, i do it manually...
[06:08] <thoreauputic> why?
[06:08] <thoreauputic> !java | DreamDring
[06:08] <ubotu> DreamDring: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository
[06:08] <thoreauputic> ?
[06:08] <DreamDring> thoreauputic: hum... i think it's a good didactic way :p
[06:09] <thoreauputic> DreamDring: if you did it manually you will need symlinks
[06:09] <DreamDring> thanks for this but i want done it with manually way ;)
[06:09] <wheels3572> What's the latest Gnome AlsaMixer
[06:09] <thoreauputic> DreamDring: I haven't done it that way for at least 2 years ;)
[06:09] <Fox_VK> do somebody have a Creative HQ-2300D headphones ??
[06:10] <DreamDring> thoreauputic: but if i call /usr/bin/jre it's seems works though :/ ?
[06:10] <thoreauputic> DreamDring: I'm sure there are howtos - the wiki page probably will tell you how
[06:10] <thoreauputic> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java
[06:10] <DreamDring> thoreauputic: i'm just a newbie, it's a first time for me ;)

[06:14] <magicfinger> but on windows you need to change

[06:15] <bashir> does anyone else use gdesklets at all?
[06:16] <strabes> !ask | ken
[06:16] <ubotu> ken: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:16] <magicfinger> Find where it says <IfModule mod_mime.c> and add the following lines:
[06:16] <magicfinger> AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
[06:16] <magicfinger> AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
[06:16] <magicfinger> The first line tells Apache to handle files with a .php extension as a PHP file. The second says that .phps files are PHP source code.
[06:16] <x-r00t-x> http://php.net/sockets
[06:16] <thoreauputic> ken: are you happy to try a default gnome? You can try moving all the .gnome* directories and restarting gnome to see if it's something you misconfigured
[06:16] <x-r00t-x> how do i install it ? i installed php5 package
[06:16] <bashir> does anyone know where i can find help with it other than #gdesklets (no one is ever there)
[06:16] <magicfinger> toor4u

[06:18] <ewook> hi fafek2
[06:19] <fafek2> Does somebody know where I can get Thunderbird 2 Beta 1 package for Ubuntu 6.10?
[06:19] <ken> please help :(
[06:19] <fafek2> I was Googling without results.
[06:19] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: checks if you have an audio group I think ( zero means yes - return value )
[06:19] <ewook> fafek2, prolly doesn't exists a package for ubu yet.
[06:19] <ewook> if you didn't find one
[06:19] <apokryphos> ken: we welcome support requests, but please try to be courteous while doing so. Using caps spams the channel, as does repeating. If someone is able/willing to help, they will.
[06:20] <ComputinChuck> i'm trying to play a game that uses SDL for it's sound, but all of the audio is accompanied by a popping noise, any ideas on how to fix this?
[06:20] <ken> apokryphos: ok :(

[06:20] <x-r00t-x> http://php.net/sockets ................. how do i install it ? i installed php5 package
[06:20] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, well let me just say this.  Im returning a 0 now
[06:20] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: ah sorry - checks to see if your user is in the audio group ( just as easy to type groups by itself)
[06:20] <TooR4u> magicfinger, My httpd.conf file configuration         http://pastebin.ca/296862
[06:20] <fafek2> Thnaks anyway.   I have NO sound period grrrrrrrrrrr not even on the aplay up.wav grrrrrrrr
[06:21] <apokryphos> ubotu: sound
[06:21] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin
[06:21] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: actually that command looks pointless since all the groups are on one line anyway

[06:22] <ken> No-one? :(

[06:36] <apokryphos> tannerld: in here? Message me what and who please.
[06:36] <siv0x> Adramelech: do you mean get it from synaptic?
[06:36] <wheels3572> ok back to square one.  I have sound when I use the aplay/*up.wav and when I do test sounds on Gaim but still no sound anywhere else.  That is my main issue still.  How do I know what sound device my app is using?  Someone tell me an app to use nad I will follow the steps you give I have plenty of media apps installed lol
[06:36] <Jon335> _Adramelech_, It's the default theme
[06:37] <Jon335> _Adramelech_, It's like that on the live CD too

[06:38] <ski-worklap> thoreauputic, yeah. i wonder what ffox is using?
[06:39] <ski-worklap> cuz gaim seemed to dig whatever jive ffox threw at it
[06:39] <thoreauputic> ski-worklap: until you installed konq, ff was x-www-browser
[06:39] <thoreauputic> ski-worklap: konq likes to take over ;p
[06:39] <ski-worklap> thoreauputic, right, i understand that. so in ffox i told it to make itself the default
[06:39] <pabloz> hello in old year yet :)
[06:39] <ski-worklap> apparently that doesn't do the same thing
[06:39] <thoreauputic> ski-worklap: no, it doesn't
[06:40] <ski-worklap> thoreauputic, that's what i'm asking - what is the other thing it does?
[06:40] <thoreauputic> ski-worklap: the update-alternatives thing is a debianism
[06:40] <[ITA] Stormcrow> anyone use the i915 graphic card?
[06:40] <ski-worklap> thoreauputic, yea
[06:40] <ski-worklap> ski-worklap, so what is the ffox thing doing?

[06:40] <thoreauputic> ski-worklap: I don't know what the firefox setting does, frankly - if anything
[06:41] <DreamDring> thoreauputic: ok, it run :) not using the way i wanted but it's ok :) (i changed the symlink under /etc/alternatives dir ;) )
[06:41] <thoreauputic> DreamDring: hmm OK
[06:41] <ski-worklap> thoreauputic, oh, it does something, as it made gaim do what i wanted to, but not xchat
[06:41] <ski-worklap> anyway, just a curiosity point. thanks for the help
[06:41] <thoreauputic> ski-worklap: it is not for me to question the inscrutable workings of firefox ;-)
[06:42] <TooR4u> magicfinger, i have added u r AddType application/x-httpd-php .php to my httpd.conf file
[06:42] <TooR4u> then what i have to do?
[06:42] <thoreauputic> ski-worklap: you're welcome :)

[06:43] <pag3r> hi, did anyone try xgl and compiz on ubuntu?
[06:43] <skarface> pag3r: #ubuntu-xgl I think
[06:43] <siv0x> Adramelech: k its installed.
[06:43] <Jon335> any ideas guys?
[06:44] <thoreauputic> !anyone
[06:44] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[06:44] <pag3r> skarface: does it need complex configuration to have it work?
[06:44] <skarface> pag3r: it needs a little. check the wiki.
[06:44] <tannerld> when I run glxgears, nothing shows up. how can I fix this? (i use a ati card)
[06:44] <thoreauputic> !ati
[06:44] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:45] <pabloz> ?
[06:45] <cstrippie> pag3r - yes, it does
[06:45] <Maheanuu> Gots a prob.....  I just managed to get Dapper alternative up and running on a new box using alternate
[06:46] <pag3r> actually I'm testing this version of ubuntu, installed on a VM. so no video driver is present.
[06:46] <Jon335> I'm running Ubuntu Edgy. None of the progress bars show. If there is a number in the progress bar (ie percentage) it gets distorted once the bar passes over it. It's like that on the Live CD too. What should I do?
[06:46] <Maheanuu> the machine is running amd 64 dual core proc
[06:46] <cstrippie> Is there a way to get all icons to auto-arrange to the right side of the desktop?
[06:46] <skarface> pag3r: never tried it in VM. that probably makes it more complicated.
[06:47] <cstrippie> pag3r - without 3d hardware support you cannot use xgl/beryl
[06:47] <pag3r> I think so, I've tried Xgl on SuSE.. was very hard to have it run.
[06:47] <Maheanuu> I just downloaded and installed the upgrades that Dapper told me to get and as soon as I closed the window after installation The puter shut down and is now busy turning itself off and on again over and over????
[06:47] <siv0x> Adramelech: What does this mean: Now run wine without any parameters. When wine is run for the first time, it creates all necessary directories, including your fake C: drive, which is per default located in ~/.wine/drive_c.
[06:48] <mats> siv0x: what are you wondering about?
[06:48] <pag3r> you have to enable 3d rendering of your GPU 1st.
[06:48] <thoreauputic> siv0x: ~/.wine/drive_c  is a hidden directory in your home directory - ctrl-h in nautilus to see hidden directories
[06:48] <mats> or ls -a ;)
[06:48] <skarface> Maheanuu: I don't know if this will help you, but that happened to me once and I pulled out the memory, booted, and put the memory back in to fix it.
[06:49] <siv0x> mats: installing wine
[06:49] <cld2> bash$ sudo nvidia-glx-config enable Error: unable to load nvidia kernel driver! Be sure to have installed the nvidia driver for your running kernel. Anyone know why this isnt working, ive done depmod and I have the proper linux-resitriced-modules ? thanks.
[06:49] <thoreauputic> mats: I'm assuming the terminal isn't familiar to someone eho doesn't know what that means
[06:49] <thoreauputic> :)
[06:49] <siv0x> thoreauputic: ok, but is that what it is telling me to do, its just saying run wine without any perimeters.. how do i do this?
[06:49] <ollekalle> HI, can someone help me out with amixer. I want to raise my default output volume
[06:49] <mats> siv0x: its telling you that when installing wine is creates a folder in your home, ~/.wine/drive_c.
[06:49] <thoreauputic> siv0x: type  wine  in a terminal
[06:50] <mats> thoreauputic: ;)
[06:50] <Plinty> is there a way to restart gdm withouth restarting my copmuter? it seems that the gdm is crashed
[06:50] <siv0x> Thoreauputic: Usage: wine PROGRAM [ARGUMENTS...]    Run the specified program
[06:50] <siv0x>        wine --help                   Display this help and exit
[06:50] <siv0x>        wine --version                Output version information and exit
[06:50] <mats> who can use linux without cli O_O :p
[06:50] <thoreauputic> Plinty: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[06:50] <mats> wine program.exe
[06:50] <thoreauputic> Plinty: it will kill X momnetarily then come back
[06:50] <pyrad> I'm recently upgraded to latest version of ubuntu, but for some reason the software updates icon doesnt show up on my desktop to notify any available updates, i'm having to go manually and check through system -> Admin -> update manager, any idea how do i enable that update notifier icon?
[06:50] <thoreauputic> *momentarily
[06:51] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, How do I know what my music app is using for a sound device?
[06:51] <mats> pyrad: open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade" :)
[06:51] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: no idea - I only have one sound card
[06:52] <pyrad> mats: yep i'm aware of that, but just wondering why this is not working
[06:52] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, ok.  I have 1 sound card but my onboard sound is being detected by linux lol.  Thats why im asking lol.
[06:52] <mats> pyrad: ah ;) i read wrong :p
[06:53] <thoreauputic> wheels3572: you might be able to disable onboard sound in your BIOS
[06:53] <prudhvi> hi
[06:53] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, done that already
[06:53] <wheels3572> thoreauputic, linux still picking it up
[06:53] <thoreauputic> hmm - then i don't know
[06:53] <prudhvi> hiiiiiiii
[06:53] <mats> cant you just unable the module in the core? :p
[06:54] <mats> or is that impossible - never tried
[06:54] <wheels3572> mats, How would I do that?  newbie here
[06:54] <foutrelis> Hello! I was wondering why when I install the nvidia driver (nvidia-glx I think), the 386 kernel is installed and default over generic. Why? :)
[06:54] <mats> wheels3572: im not sure if that does the job or what it will do for you.   Just a pain in the butt to have sound when I click on test under GAIM but not work anywhere else grrrrrrrr
[06:55] <mats> lsmod
[06:55] <ski-worklap> foutrelis, all the architecture specific kernels should be deprecated
[06:55] <quad3d> wheels3572, lsmod |grep '^snd'
[06:55] <foutrelis> ski-worklap, so the right one is generic right?
[06:55] <mats> if you run the program from terminal itwill tell you what device it is connecting too
[06:55] <ski-worklap> are you sure that 386 isn't the same as generic?
[06:56] <ski-worklap> one is probably a symlink to the other
[06:56] <quad3d> locate your onboard sound module and disable it
[06:56] <foutrelis> I think they are not the same
[06:56] <mats> quad3d: would it be smart to unload the module? :p
[06:56] <ski-worklap> foutrelis, if that's the case you should file a bug report. generic should be used for everything now
[06:56] <ski-worklap> !generic
[06:56] <ubotu> Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed)
[06:56] <slacker_nl> hello to all
[06:56] <pokesmot> Does anybody know of a guide to get java runtime environment running on firefox?
[06:56] <thoreauputic> !java
[06:56] <siv0x> Thoreauputic: wine in konsole didnt work Thoreauputic
[06:56] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository
[06:56] <mats> !java
[06:57] <slacker_nl> !nfs
[06:57] <ubotu> nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[06:57] <pyrad> mats: when i run update-notifier on cmd line, it says already running, but doesnt show up when new updates are available
[06:57] <thoreauputic> siv0x: sorry I know nothing about wine - I don't run any non-linux apps at all
[06:57] <christian1222> when i go into update manager for my laptoop, which is running 6.06, why wont it tell me to upgrade to 6.10? How do i tell it to upgrade?
[06:57] <quad3d> why not? :) i have a user that had the same problem yesterday. 2 sound cards, alsa configured, he disabled onboard and sound works
[06:57] <thoreauputic> !wine
[06:57] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[06:57] <pyrad> mats: is this a known bug or am i missing something
[06:57] <foutrelis> ski-worklap, I install my nvidia drivers through automatix2 and everytime the 386 kernel is set the default one. It is like install linux-386 :(
[06:58] <thoreauputic> !automatix
[06:58] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[06:58] <wheels3572> quad3d, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39493/
[06:58] <ski-worklap> foutrelis, what thoreauputic said
[06:58] <quad3d> that's what modules are made for anyway. so you can load/unload anytime you want
[06:58] <mats> pyrad: i heard of it before - but i havnt had that problem. Sorry. Have you tried reinstalling the 'updater' ?
[06:58] <foutrelis> oh! I apologize.. I did not know that :(
[06:58] <Jon335> !WorksForMe
[06:58] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[06:58] <quad3d> wheels3572, try 'rmmod via82xx'
[06:58] <pyrad> mats: nop did not..
[06:58] <Plinty> how to install kubuntu when ubuntu is already installed?
[06:59] <ski-worklap> foutrelis, many don't, unfortunately
[06:59] <siv0x> thoreauputic: wine is a linux app, or i think so since its in synaptic..
[06:59] <ski-worklap> Plinty, what do you want exactly?
[06:59] <apokryphos> Plinty: take a look at the FAQ (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions) as linked to in the channel /topic
[06:59] <Raybdbomb> i installed ubuntu then installed windows in another partition and it overwrote the bootloader, how can i get it back, now with dualbooting?
[06:59] <mats> Plinty: apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[06:59] <siv0x> thoreauputic: its okay though. thanks for trying
[06:59] <thoreauputic> siv0x: yes of course - but it is used to run window apps :)
[06:59] <ski-worklap> Raybdbomb, boot to the install cd and install grub
[06:59] <foutrelis> I ll try the nvidia's installer :)
[06:59] <pokesmot> Can anybody recommend any cool desktop stuff for gnome?
[06:59] <wheels3572> Module via82xx does not exit in  /proc/modules
[06:59] <foutrelis> thanks :)
[06:59] <mats> pyrad: hm.. im not sure
[06:59] <dave_> how can i access my samba shares on a win machine? it comes up with a login window, username and password? how do i get rid of that. my details dont work
[06:59] <thoreauputic> siv0x: have a look at the wine link ubotu gave
[07:00] <thoreauputic> !wine| siv0x
[07:00] <ubotu> siv0x: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[07:00] <nix_ferret> pokesmot, Like compiz??
[07:00] <pyrad> mats: mm ok. whats the easiest way to reinstall the updates without messing things up
[07:00] <Plinty> I have installed kubuntu-desktop, but it only installed a lot of K named programs, replaced bootup image and login screen, but the desktop is still gnome-like
[07:00] <mats> wheels3572: what does is say under lsmod | grep ^snd'
[07:00] <nix_ferret> pokesmot, or themes?
[07:00] <apokryphos> Plinty: logout, change teh session to KDE, and then login
[07:00] <pyrad> mats: apt-get remove and install will do?
[07:00] <quad3d> are you doing it as root? rmmod
[07:00] <Raybdbomb> ski-worklap i'm on the bootcd, u mean install grub via apt-get? ... maybe you have a site i can look at with instructions?
[07:00] <thoreauputic> Plinty: did you choose KDE under sessions in the login screen ?
[07:00] <quad3d> seems like you are still logged on as wheels
[07:01] <Plinty> I guess not
[07:01] <pokesmot> nix_ferret anything, just wanna make it look way cool and unwindowsish
[07:01] <thoreauputic> btw hi apokryphos  :)
[07:01] <Plinty> I'll try it
[07:01] <wheels3572> mats, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39493/
[07:01] <apokryphos> hey ;-)
[07:01] <thoreauputic> :)
[07:01] <dave_> anyone, how can i access my samba shares on a win machine? it comes up with a login window, username and password? how do i get rid of that. my details dont work
[07:01] <mats> wheels3572: just a moment
[07:01] <thoreauputic> !samba
[07:01] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[07:01] <wheels3572> quad3d, Yeah that what I log in under
[07:01] <wheels3572> mats, ok
[07:01] <leafw> does the mounting of ftp servers work for anyone under gnome? In KDE knoqueror can access them just fine
[07:02] <mats> pyrad: try doing it and messige me if it dosnt do well
[07:02] <nix_ferret> pokesmot, If you have a good video card goolge compiz & xgl, if you just want some good themes go to gnome-art.org (i think it is)
[07:02] <regeya> wish me luck--rebuilt initrd.img, about to try to boot an lvm-volume-as-root install
[07:02] <ski-worklap> Raybdbomb, i'm not sure exactly what you need to run to install grub on the hard disk, but try grub-install from the commandline (and read its manpage)
[07:02] <leafw> also, sftp, smb and ssh are just fine. Only FTP doesn't work!
[07:02] <pokesmot> nix_ferret, cool thanks
[07:02] <quad3d> alright i have to go to lunch. but ca0106 is your SB audigy card and via82xx is your onboard. someone else can help you w/ disabling via82xx
[07:02] <Raybdbomb> k thx
[07:02] <quad3d> once you get that disabled restart alsa and see if it works
[07:02] <wheels3572> quad3d, ok ty
[07:02] <mats> wheels3572: 'sudo rmmod via82xx'
[07:03] <quad3d> rmmod needs to be superuser
[07:03] <thoreauputic> quad3d: hence the "Sudo"
[07:04] <wheels3572> mats, I did that get the error msg  ERROR: Module via82xx does not exit in /proc/modules
[07:04] <pyrad> mats: the re-install seemed to go through fine, not seeing the notifier icon though.
[07:05] <quad3d> wheels3572, you could insert 'blacklist via82xx' into your /etc/modules and reboot and so lsmod |grep '^snd' again see if via82xx is still loaded
[07:05] <quad3d> later, going to lunch.
[07:05] <wheels3572> quad3d,  ok ty
[07:05] <christian1222> how do i upgrade from dapper to edgy?

[07:43] <ben_> thoreauptic: ok so apt-get install linux-generic ?
[07:44] <exs> guys, what's the highest compresssion method 'archive manager' can do?.. is it tar.gz?
[07:44] <raiu> cezeta_: u just have to "apt-get install eterm" (for example) to install eterm ? or u have to do something else after that ?
[07:44] <thoreauputic> ben_: I'm not on edgy atm - do apt-cache search linux generic and install one afterwards or search for it in synaptic
[07:44] <mc44> ben_: yeah, just apt-get install linux-generic

The onboard is a "Realtek 850 7.1channel AC'97 audio codec" and the other card is a "Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Professional Series" ..

[07:44] <pokesmot> Hey, I'm looking for a desktop thing that i saw in a screen shot once and cant remember where or what.  What it was, was just a simple bit of text on the right hand side of the desktop, sort of a ticker that told the time, date, cpu usage, weather, etc ?   anybody know what that is?
[07:45] <mats> remember, use sudo before apt-get.. 'sudo apt-get install $program'
[07:45] <thoreauputic> !sound| Ninjadolph
[07:45] <ubotu> Ninjadolph: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin

[07:50] <animal> Raybdbomb? As in raybdbomb.com?

[07:51] <Ernz> Anyone, why does Bluetooth work on Kubuntu and not on Ubuntu (Gnome)?? Does someone have it working at the moment?

[07:51] <daedra_> eitan: firstly, backup what you have in /etc/xorg.conf
[07:51] <stopgo> thoreaputic: oh, cool. I'll give that a shot
[07:51] <thoreauputic> umm gconftool perhaps - or add it to the menu with alacarte
[07:51] <daedra_> eitan: call it xorg_old.conf or something
[07:52] <eitan> just did daedra_
[07:52] <eitan> heh, before i saw your text

[07:53] <eitan> daedra_: i backed up xorg.conf
[07:53] <daedra_> eitan: so when you logout/in again the touchpad works?
[07:53] <stopgo> thoreauputic: ok, thanks. I'm not accustomed to gconf-editor, so I'll have to do a bit of reading
[07:53] <eitan> daedra_ yes
[07:53] <ben_> thoreaputic: no problem, i love it when people do it for me too :)
[07:53] <Ernz> ....anyone, please, bluetooth?
[07:53] <thoreauputic> stopgo: just be careful to note your changes so you can back them out if you need to

[07:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dc++ - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[07:55] <rbil> siv0x: no, I don't use Windoze
[07:56] <wasabi_> Ernz: bluetooth works perfectly on Ubuntu... there's just no UI to set it up right.
[07:56] <animal> Umm PM's
[07:56] <mats> Ernz: its the programs for gnome that dosnt respond right
[07:56] <siv0x> rbil: huh?
[07:56] <animal> It's telling me to register, when I do it says the nick is taken >.<
[07:56] <Ernz> wasabi_ / mats: So how can I get my bluetooth working on Ubuntu?
[07:56] <Raybdbomb> animal: register for... my site?
[07:56] <rbil> siv0x: I don't hav access to Windoze fonts, if that is what u were requesting
[07:57] <TheJoe> No IRC
[07:57] <wasabi_> Ernz: What part of your bluetooth?
[07:57] <siv0x> rbil: yeah
[07:57] <Raybdbomb> animal: don't register for my site :P
[07:57] <siv0x> rbil: i have no clue were im gonna find this font..
[07:57] <Ernz> wasabi_ send to and from a mobile phone.
[07:57] <rbil> siv0x: google I guess?
[07:57] <siv0x> i'm looking..
[07:58] <Raybdbomb> animal: oh yea just choose a diff name then
[07:58] <Raybdbomb> grin
[07:58] <animaljoe> Yeah I can't find one that isn't taken
[07:58] <Ernz> Wasabi_ kubuntu is simple (how it should be) just click on the device, and copy. Receiving is simple to, send from phone, enter passkey when prompted, hey presto. Simple.

[08:00] <Ernz> mats: there's so much in kubuntu that just makes more sense to implement within ubuntu too, but kubuntu feels awkward intrusive sometimes (Partly because it tries to imitate windows.
[08:00] <Tomcat_> calamari: You could check if itunes/windows media runs on wine/cedega/crossover...

[08:02] <dancallo> Hello Derrick
[08:02] <Derrick> Hi
[08:02] <kennyb0328> anyone  I'm having a prob with screen overflow the workspace on the right.??
[08:02] <dancallo> How long have you been using ubuntu?
[08:02] <tannerld> when I try setting up dual monitors, and restart x, I get a icky rainbow lined login that is unusable. any help?
[08:02] <Ernz> Anyway, if someone knows how to set up Bluetooth in Ubuntu (Gnome) can you please point me in the right direction for the sake of my sanity.
[08:02] <Ernz> Cheers

[08:02] <mats> Ernz: but i do understand you ;)
[08:03] <Derrick> Hi :)
[08:03] <mats> Hello, Derrick
[08:03] <dancallo> Derrick, how long have you been using ubuntu?
[08:03] <Derrick> For a week, now
[08:04] <dancallo> About the same here.  I'm using Dapper Drake
[08:04] <Ernz> mats: I am torn between the two at the moment, I hate gnome to start with, and learned to love it, and then I tried KDE for the first time a week ago and thought it was the mutts nuts, and now it feels stale and cumbersome with a few exceptional advantages (Like hardware management!)
