[09:37] <Flannel> Crypticfortune: no, he's stopping apache2 and starting apache
[09:37] <Crypticfortune> Flannel, bwilson: sorry: resart -> restart (typo)
[09:37] <bwilson> Flannel:  But i deleted my init.d file and I dont know how to ge it back
[09:37] <Crypticfortune> Flannel: oh ok i didnt notice. sorry
[09:37] <kazuka> woot
[09:38] <rylan> i need a QQ client. its a back asswards chinese messenger program
[09:38] <Flannel> bwilson: well, that was silly.  Uh, you'll need to reinstall the package that put it there.
[09:38] <seamus7> rryan: i could reboot until it freezes again and then go into recovery mode and get my xorg.0.log that way ... should have done that already :(
[09:38] <bwilson> Flannel:  I tried reinstalling the package but it doesnt put the init.d file back
[09:38] <Flannel> bwilson: "apache" provides it
[09:39] <rryan> seamus7: hmm. odd.. so the only things you've done since installing it was install fglrx and beryl ?
[09:39] <bwilson> Flannel:  I did:   apt-get remove apache2  && apt-get install apache2.   the init.d file is still isn't there?
[09:39] <Flannel> bwilson: "apache2" is not "apache"  Are we reinstalling apache? or apache2?
[09:39] <bwilson> Flannel:  Apache2  Sorry
[09:39] <rryan> seamus7: if so .. I would try changing xorg.conf to use the open source ATI drivers instead of fglrx and see if that changes things at all
[09:40] <Flannel> bwilson: for apache2, the package is "apache2-common"
[09:40] <ndlovu> any idea where to query the current battery state?  I tried 'cat /proc/acpi/battery/C1B5/state', which does not seem to be updating.
[09:40] <seamus7> rryan: hee hee ... no .. i have pretty much got my system back to the way I want it as far as packages... gkrellm and such
[09:40] <bwilson> Flannel:  so apt-get install apache2-common?
[09:40] <seamus7> rryan: i don't think ATI radeon x1300 is supporter
[09:40] <kazuka> limewire is a hog
[09:40] <seamus7> rryan : by the open source that is
[09:41] <kazuka> sorry i mean java
[09:41] <Flannel> bwilson: no, sudo apt-get --reinstall install apache2-common
[09:42] <ZorglubZ> is it just me, or is there no feasible way to force Dapper Drake to a specific DNS server? Been using my dear friend Google the last 3 hours.. :P
[09:42] <seamus7> rryan: thanks for your help :)
[09:42] <bwilson> Flannel:  Still no init.d file
[09:42] <coNP> ZorglubZ: what about /etc/resolv.conf
[09:42] <Flannel> bwilson: then sure, remove it (with --purge!) then reinstall it
[09:42] <rryan> seamus7: hmm.  no prob... just trying to think of what the problem could be..
[09:42] <Flannel> bwilson: the --purge flag is an important one
[09:43] <ZorglubZ> it resets too, coNP
[09:43] <rryan> seamus7: it'd be helpful to see where your logfiles end on a crash bootup
[09:43] <ZorglubZ> edited, saved, 2 mins later it's back to the old IP'
[09:44] <Crypticfortune> ok, "buffer I/O error on device sr0 ... " while booting from the install cd might mean that the cd is bad?
[09:44] <coNP> ZorglubZ: then I guess you have the resolvconf package installed (can you confirm this?)
[09:44] <seamus7> rryan: ok i'll do that now quickly
[09:44] <coNP> ZorglubZ: you should edit its configuration files in /etc/resolvconf/
[09:44] <BHSPitLappy> what the heck
[09:44] <BHSPitLappy> is ubuntu.com down?
[09:44] <GazzaK> BHSPitLappy, nope
[09:44] <Crypticfortune> i'll try burning another cd, but i have a hunch that the drivers it loaded right before the cd errors might have broken the cd support. namely the usb drivers. anyone know how to work around that?
[09:45] <BHSPitLappy> GazzaK, stupid ISP's acting up then.
[09:45] <bwilson> Flannel:  that worked.  thank you much!
[09:45] <mvfeinstein> Can anyone here help me get wireless working on a MacBook running Ubuntu 7.04?
[09:45] <zoidberg> hey guys
[09:45] <zoidberg> how do u enable direct rendering on a video card on ubuntu
[09:45] <brokenarrowLinux> qestion: as some one completely new to Linux; im geting no sound, from either headphones or speakers, so how can i set up the computer to get sound
[09:45] <ZorglubZ> resolvconf is NOT installed (says synaptic)
[09:45] <zoidberg> i have an ATI rage on a g3 powerbook
[09:45] <zoidberg> how can i enable direct rendering
[09:46] <Flannel> !sound | brokenarrowLinux
[09:46] <ubotu> brokenarrowLinux: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[09:46] <zoidberg> can anyone help me
[09:47] <coNP> ZorglubZ: do you have any DNS-related entries in your /etc/network/interfaces?
[09:47] <zoidberg> can anyone help me?
[09:48] <zoidberg> i'm trying to enable direct rendering on my video card?
[09:48] <ZorglubZ> coNP: none; when I put them in they disappear
[09:49] <coNP> ZorglubZ: oh, that might be some autoconfiguration issue; no idea what that can do, though
[09:49] <ZorglubZ> heh... something that's there to stop me doing something stupid, you mean? :p
[09:50] <coNP> ZorglubZ: kind of :)
[09:51] <mvfeinstein> Can anyone help me, I am trying to get wireless working on a macbook. I installed madwifi which according to a few things I have read online should make it work but I still cant get wlan0 or ath0 to come up.
[09:52] <ZorglubZ> coNP: the thing is, I'm on DHCP behind a ICS gateway, and the DNS server addy resets to the gateway every other minute... only way I can google (and connect, like here) is to change the DNS addy every 2-3 mins...
[09:54] <daveR> hi, do i need an antivirus, spyware on ubuntu? if so can anyone recommend one?
[09:54] <coNP> !virus | daveR
[09:54] <DarthLappy> daveR: No you don't.
[09:54] <ubotu> daveR: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[09:55] <coNP> ZorglubZ: then I think everything should be configured in you DHCP server
[09:55] <daveR> ok, kwl.  i won't bother then :)
[09:56] <pixel5011> Alloha!!!
[09:56] <llama32> i've been using pppconfig/pon for dialup; is there a way to see the connection speed?
[09:56] <ERWER> hi
[09:56] <ERWER> can i get some help
[09:56] <ERWER> ?
[09:57] <ERWER> i need to install drivers for radeon
[09:57] <coNP> llama32: maybe if you write ifconfig ppp0 in a terminal window
[09:57] <yomm> !radeon |ERWER
[09:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about radeon - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:57] <yomm> !ati |ERWER
[09:57] <ubotu> ERWER: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:57] <ERWER> tnx
[09:57] <ERWER> but I already look the forums and the net
[09:58] <llama32> coNP: nah, tried that
[09:58] <ERWER> i would ask you for help if i found the solution there :)
[10:00] <coNP> llama32: did that work?
[10:00] <ERWER> nope
[10:01] <ZorglubZ> coNP: the DHCP server is a WinExPee box...
[10:01] <entropy_> hello
[10:01] <deep> Hi. ^^
[10:01] <coNP> ZorglubZ: that is a pity, but should also be configured :)
[10:01] <Taime1> high!
[10:01] <ndlovu> okay, acpi doesn't seem to be getting updated information about my battery. Any idea what is the mechanism for checking - is is 'acpid' or what?
[10:02] <entropy_> i'm having a bit of trouble with mounting my usb pendrive could anyone help me
[10:02] <entropy_> its really weird and i've never had this trouble before
[10:03] <ZorglubZ> coNP: I've tried, it doesn't want to act as a DNS server on the local 'net :(
[10:03] <ndlovu> restarting acpid and acpi-support still not sorting out the problem :(
[10:04] <entropy_> usually when i plug in my pendrive it will automatically mount with permissions 755 under group "plugdev" and since my user is in group plugdev i would just be able to use it normally
[10:05] <entropy_> right now when i plug it in it is not automatically mounted, that doesnt really matter
[10:05] <patri> olaaa
[10:05] <coNP> ZorglubZ: are you sure it does not add any DNS information to DHCP queries?
[10:05] <entropy_> i just sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1
[10:05] <seamus7> rryan: When I went into recovery mode I got the following BUG: Soft Lockup detected on CPU#0!   (I had forgotten about that but its appeared before and I was able to find a patch somewhere)
[10:06] <entropy_> now the problem is that it mounts with permissions where i cant write to it and i cant change them
[10:06] <ubnutuhelp> many people around?
[10:06] <Frogzoo> entropy_: tail -f /var/log/messages   & plugin the drive
[10:06] <ubnutuhelp> got a problem with my RAID array :(
[10:07] <Frogzoo> entropy_: has this worked under your current install previously?
[10:07] <entropy_> well yes
[10:07] <ChaosEddie> entropy_: nice nick
[10:07] <Crypticfortune> question. im trying to install ubuntu onto an hp dx7300 (its an intel core 2 duo box). once the USB driver loads, the cd /dev/sr0 stops working and i get a bunch of "buffer i/o error on device sr0" errors. anyone got any ideas?

[10:09] <entropy_> ChaosEddie, thanks
[10:09] <mattdwilnew> I am using MDADM, but i installed DMRAID before i used MDADM, so i uninstalled DMRAID in case there was clashes
[10:09] <mattdwilnew> now it won't create

[10:10] <mattdwilnew> the latest one i think, ill check
[10:10] <ChaosEddie> entropy_: you'd be surprise how many people don't understand the word or think quantum physics is fascinating. well at least I am.
[10:10] <entropy_> what is really annoying is that i cant change the owner, the group owner and i cant add write permissions to either the group or others

[10:12] <mattdwilnew> I even tried to force it and its still a no go
[10:12] <mattdwilnew> anyone know of anything that will assemble the raid so i can at least get my data off it?
[10:13] <mattdwilnew> its only got like 30-40 gig on it
[10:13] <rpc> ls *.txt|grep crap <---how do i make it so only filename is displayed and not extension?

[10:14] <kazuka> hmmm
[10:16] <sha256sum> whatup guys... hey, I'm having trouble with ohci1394, which seems common, but the kernel options "acpi=off" and "nofirewire" (and both together) are doing nothing to disable it.  It's detecting as PCI, but I don't have a firewire interface on my computer, and would be ecstatic if there were a way to disable it so I can boot.  Is there a way to disable it?
[10:17] <yomm> matt : is there crucial data on your array ?

[10:18] <z> Is there a linux alternative software to schoolhouse on mac....i mean software that does planning, school assignements tracking and stuff
[10:19] <rylan> hey, i am installing EVA messenger but when i go through the install instructions .config it the way they want, when i run "make" it says"make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
[10:19] <rylan> "
[10:19] <Frogzoo> entropy_: are you using suspend?
[10:19] <premier_> hello. Im using kubuntu, and today I installed gnome ("ubuntu-desktop") to try it out, and Ive been having a lot of trouble
[10:19] <premier_> firstly, something crashes on start up.  Can I pastebin some errors?
[10:20] <z> Is there a school assignment tracking software for l inux
[10:20] <ChaosEddie> premier_: of course
[10:21] <yomm> premier : shoot
[10:21] <mattdwilnew> yomm: yeah
[10:21] <entropy_> Frogzoo, i dont know what that is
 i use a software called mynoteit (mynoteit.com) that is web based
[10:21] <mattdwilnew> yomm: got a few days worth of data on there
[10:21] <ChaosEddie> not linux based
[10:21] <yomm> have you tried reinstalling mdadm & rebooting ?
[10:21] <mattdwilnew> yomm: (i am at work, and its their server)
[10:21] <rylan> hey, i am installing EVA messenger but when i go through the install instructions .config it the way they want, when i run "make" it says"make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
[10:21] <z> ChaosEddie: thanks but i would prefer something thats not webbased
[10:22] <premier_> http://pastebin.ca/363313
[10:22] <entropy_> Frogzoo, i have this suspicion that if i reboot it will work just fine(since it was working yesterday and all i did was leave it on all night downloading stuff while the usb was attached)
[10:22] <entropy_> but i dont want to reboot
[10:22] <entropy_> i would like to be able to fix this withotu doing that
[10:22] <entropy_> s/withotu/without/
[10:22] <z> Is there a school assignment tracking software for linux that is not webased
[10:23] <mattdwilnew> yomm: no i havn't - for some reason my /dev/sdd1 comes up twice, once as a 1000gig partition and the raid member
[10:23] <mattdwilnew> (when i try to create)

[10:24] <yomm> matt : could it be that there are 2 superblock descriptions on your array  ?
[10:24] <premier_> How do I do things like turn off icons on the desktop, or change the panel (taskbar?) settings, or is that what crashed on startup?
[10:24] <Flannel> z: I believe people use evolution
[10:24] <z> Need a school planner, assignment tracking type of software that is not web based   can any one help
[10:24] <mattdwilnew> yomm: it could be possible, how could i check that?
[10:24] <z> Flannel: really, i thought that was a mail thing
 im pretty sure edubuntu has a program or two, you're looking for ... what exactly?
[10:25] <ChaosEddie> i dont quite understand
[10:25] <Frogzoo> cyphase: tried booting with 'pci=nommconf' ?
[10:25] <z> ChaosEddie: schoolhouse type thing....look up school house and youl see waht i mean....its sort of an agenda to keep track of what is going on , whats due when, adding notes to things and such
[10:25] <yomm> matt : I once had a conflict where the older version of mdadm created an array , and then when i booted in newer os the newer mdadm didn't recognize the old , and created new superblocks , leaving me with an unusable array
[10:26] <mattdwilnew> yomm: how did ya fix it?
[10:26] <yomm> matt : I'm no expert , but the mdadm manual has a section on superblock
[10:26] <entropy_> Frogzoo, thanks for your help, its fixed now
[10:26] <ChaosEddie> ahhh yes i see

[10:26] <Flannel> z: it's a calendar thing, and an email thing
[10:26] <mattdwilnew> yomm: you might be onto something there :)
[10:26] <Frogzoo> entropy_: cool
[10:26] <yomm> matt : there was no ( crucial ) data on my array then , so i reformatted ...
[10:26] <ChaosEddie> i think edubuntu has a few programs for such a purpose
[10:26] <ChaosEddie> but i duno too much
[10:27] <yomm> matt : it's no solution , but maybe you're a bit closer to the problem :)
[10:27] <premier_> Im looking in the system menu, and there isnt anything like a theme manager or a color settings manager, or panel editor
[10:27] <Crypticfortune> Frogzoo: yeah, i saw that page. it dies immediately on "loading kernel" if i dont include pci=nommconf
[10:27] <z> Flannel: hmm, il give it a go, but i was more looking for a notes taker, like i have a heading and i have notes under the heading to keep me reminded of what that topic was all about and such
[10:28] <yomm> matt : I  was just thinkg cos you said u used other raid tools , that would be a good place to start looking  i suspect !
[10:28] <z> ChaosEddie: thanks anyway
[10:28] <mattdwilnew> yeah thanks for your help :) that might be why my sda1 "is too small"
[10:28] <yomm> matt : what does $ mdadm --detail /dev/YOURMD   give you ?
[10:29] <yomm> might have to sudo that ;)
[10:29] <egon> hi all
[10:30] <Flannel> z: ah, for notes.  yeah, there are a bunch.  desktop wiki sorts fo thigns
[10:30] <Flannel> z: check out 'zim'
[10:30] <ndlovu> apparently (http://home.no/slazz/nx7400/#badstate) my acpi problem might be caused by not unloading the psmouse module before shutdown. The recommendation is to add 'modprobe -r psmouse' to init.d/halt and other shutdown scripts. Is this a good idea, and if so, where should it be added in the script?
[10:30] <Flannel> z: or tomboy
[10:31] <Frogzoo> ndlovu: can't you just add the module in /etc/default/acpi-support ?
[10:31] <egon> help.ubuntu.com seams not working, so I ask here: is there a good FAQ about instaling Wi-Fi cards on Ubuntu?

[10:34] <daveR> not much help, i know
[10:34] <ChaosEddie> try googling their website for linux drivers?
[10:34] <ERWER> can i get help with instaling drivers for ati
[10:34] <Frogzoo> egon: broken at your end
[10:34] <ChaosEddie> im not too good with hardware...
[10:34] <Frogzoo> ERWER: which vid card?
[10:35] <ERWER> ATI Radeon X600
[10:35] <ERWER> i cant get the drivers
[10:35] <egon> Frogzoo: how come? I have internet connection and I can se other sites
[10:35] <ndlovu> Frogzoo, ah, okay. I can try that. The problem is that the modules should (apparently) be removed before shutdown, not just suspend or hibernate, so not sure it will work.
[10:35] <daveR> ChaosEddie: is there any general softwares or drivers i can try for a general scanners?
[10:35] <Frogzoo> ERWER: check the docs - I think fglrx should run with that

[10:41] <mattdwilnew> to get it going again
[10:41] <yomm> matt : the good thing is : your data is not lost !
[10:41] <mattdwilnew> (been using linux for a couple of weeks)
[10:41] <mattdwilnew> woot!
[10:41] <yomm> matt : the bad thing is , i'm outta ideas :)
[10:41] <mattdwilnew> lol :)
[10:42] <mattdwilnew> thanks!
[10:42] <mattdwilnew> know much about /proc/partitions?
[10:42] <mattdwilnew> mines empty
[10:42] <ZorglubZ> coNP: I got it resolved... by INSTALLING resolvconf ;)
[10:42] <ZorglubZ> so ty for the tip :D
[10:42] <scotch> my ubuntu won't boot, if there are UUID entry in the menu.lst, any ideas ? (booting with /dev/sda works)
[10:48] <yomm> matt : mdadm also does a SCAN command whereas it scans for prevously created arrays
[10:48] <premier_> how do I configure screensavers?
[10:48] <Flannel> ERWER: er, ... Well, that should work.  Except the automatix part everything looks good.
[10:48] <Frogzoo> scotch: correct UUID? check with blkid
[10:48] <yomm> matt : mind you , take extreme caution with everything you do on the array and DO read the manual properly , otherwire you might be left with irrecoverable data !
[10:48] <mattdwilnew> yomm: i dont have any arrays listed in my mdadm.conf so when it scans it says it can't
[10:48] <coNP> ZorglubZ: yw, I am happy now  :)
[10:48] <mattdwilnew> (even though i did add it in!: |)
[10:48] <yomm> i c !
[10:48] <Flannel> ERWER: and, the automatix may very well be your problem.  It's a dangerous program.
[10:48] <yomm> matt : there are some more reassemble options in the manual , have you seen them ?
[10:48] <ERWER> nope
[10:48] <scotch> Frogzoo: yep, the UUIDs are bullshit... the problem is, that an update breaks my menu.lst...
[10:48] <ZorglubZ> oooh... I want THIS screensaver on here, just for the hell of it!: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/Miscellaneous/BlueScreen.mspx
[10:48] <ERWER> i had the same error before i instaled automatix
[10:48] <SoulChild> HEY GUYS, why is my CPU on 90 % each 5 seconds, is this normal ?
[10:48] <Frogzoo> scotch: check your groot & kopt...root=    defns in menu.lst
[10:48] <ZorglubZ> a M$ screensaver that simulates BSoD and reboot-loop ;)
[10:48] <Frogzoo> SoulChild: some process is going berzerk - try top or htop
[10:48] <z> Hey, guys im dual booting with windows...i can see my windows partitions and read them but cannot write to them under ubuntu.......how can i make then writable??
[10:48] <Frogzoo> ERWER: please don't use automatix then come here asking for support, plskthx
[10:48] <mattdwilnew> yomm: I tried a few of the reassemble options - let me try again to get exact errors
[10:48] <scotch> Frogzoo: actually they are not set, I will set them now an hoe, that the problems will not occure again...
[10:48] <z> Hey, guys im dual booting with windows...i can see my windows partitions and read them but cannot write to them under ubuntu.......how can i make then writable??
[10:48] <premier_> yeah, my theme manager is crashing
[10:48] <scotch> s/hoe/hope
[10:48] <premier_> crashing!
[10:48] <Frogzoo> scotch: I hoe that works
[10:48] <Flannel> !ntfs | z
[10:48] <ZorglubZ> z: they're NTFS, right? all my Win parts on this box are FAT32 for just tha reason...
[10:48] <ubotu> z: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[10:48] <z> yes they are ntfs
[10:48] <z> i can see them and read them
[10:48] <Flannel> z: Writing to NTFS under linux is still technically 'unstable'
[10:48] <z> i want to be able to write to them
[10:48] <scotch> Frogzoo: thx for the help...
[10:48] <z> ah ok
[10:48] <scotch> cu
[10:48] <ZorglubZ> see what ubotu said
[10:48] <mattdwilnew> yomm: i just ran an examine partitions command and it came out with this:  mdadm -Ac partitions -m 0 /dev/md0       Scan all partitions and devices listed in /proc/partitions and assemble       /dev/md0 out of all such devices with a RAID superblo<font size="3">ck  with  a  minor       number of 0.</font>

[10:51] <ZorglubZ> well, bbl I bet.. still my first day on *nix

[11:00] <mattdwilnew> know much about the build command?
[11:00] <yomm> np matt
[11:01] <SoulChild> PLEEAAASE HELP ME !
[11:02] <SoulChild> hey guys, i have this strange problem, that i have no sound if i plugg in headphnoes on my notebook, headphones work and sound works also without headohones but when plugged in everythigns muted, please help
[11:03] <CrakeHunter> hello, just for my understandings: LVM equals softraid ; so if i install ubuntu with lvm , my 2 harddiscs work on parallel?
[11:04] <Frogzoo> CrakeHunter: no LVM is not raid - it's a file system virtualisation layer that sits on top of raid - it's purely for convenience
[11:04] <daviey> CrakeHunter, hmm no, it's to make BIG hd's  ie 20gig+20gig = 40gig AFAIK
[11:04] <Frogzoo> !raid | CrakeHunter
[11:04] <ubotu> CrakeHunter: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[11:06] <ardchoille> I'm confused about something. If I want to add a new user to the system some folks tell me to use adduser and others say to use useradd. Which is it?
[11:06] <SoulChild> !kernel
[11:06] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[11:06] <mackinac> !adduser
[11:06] <ubotu> To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo
[11:07] <ardchoille> !useradd
[11:07] <daviey> ardchoille, useradd
[11:07] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about useradd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:07] <ardchoille> Some people sa adduser, some people say userad
[11:07] <daviey> ardchoille, adduser - adds users to groups.  For more info user 'man adduser'
[11:08] <mattdwilnew> yomm: i did an examine on /dev/sda1 and there is no superblock!
[11:08] <ardchoille> daviey: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands says "Adding A New User: "adduser newuser" command will create a new general user called "newuser" on your system"
[11:08] <daviey> ardchoille, Sorry i was mistaken
[11:08] <ramvi> I want firefox to use mplayer instead of totem. How do I do that? I've got mozilla-mplayer installed
[11:08] <SoulChild> hey guys, i have this strange problem, that i have no sound if i plugg in headphones on my notebook, headphones work and sound works also without headphones but when plugged in everything is muted, please help
[11:09] <ardchoille> daviey: Both man pages for adduser and useradd say "add a user to the system". This is why I am confused.
[11:09] <mattdwilnew> yomm: i did an examine on /dev/sdd1 and the first device instead of /dev/sda1 is has /dev/.static/dev/sda1
[11:09] <mattdwilnew> any ideas?
[11:09] <CrakeHunter> Frogzoo, you article is about hardware raid; Ive heard that there is some software raid integration in Ubuntu. where? and how do i install it?
[11:09] <scarpitch> When I install "Wine" from the Terminal, where does it go? And how do I execute it?
[11:09] <yomm> matt : a sec ..
[11:10] <martin80> scarpitch simply type wine to execute
[11:10] <Crypticfortune> so it seems that the kernel on the ubuntu cd will not work for me. any way to get ubuntu going under a different kernel? (Slax 4.01 successfully boots)
[11:10] <martin80> e.g. wine programname
[11:11] <Crypticfortune> er rather get the ubuntu installer going under a different kernel
[11:11] <yomm> matt : what does it say about the superblock in $ sudo mdadm --detail /dev/YOURMD   ?
[11:12] <mattdwilnew> mdadm: md device /dev/md0 does not appear to be active.
[11:12] <muh-die-kuh> will there be a possibility to install xorg 7.3 under 7.04?
[11:12] <mattdwilnew> i have tried activating in the past and it gives me an error
[11:13] <Flannel> muh-die-kuh: #ubuntu+1 for Feisty support, but feisty has 7.1.1
[11:13] <gb__> hi
[11:13] <gb__> hi flannel
[11:13] <muh-die-kuh> Flannel: okay, thanks
[11:13] <sewensins> hi @ all
[11:14] <Flannel> !raid | CrakeHunter
[11:14] <ubotu> CrakeHunter: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[11:14] <scarpitch> martin80: yeah, but it says: "wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\program.exe": Module not found"
[11:14] <mattdwilnew> yomm: examine on md0 says there is no superblock
[11:14] <sewensins> can so help when it comes to questions regarding LTSP ?
[11:14] <gb__> anyone see my text
[11:14] <Flannel> scarpitch: I imagine you're supposed to replace that path with your own, since I don't belive 'program.exe' is a real program
[11:14] <scarpitch> yeah
[11:14] <gb__> i'm tesing new client
[11:14] <gb__> plz :)
[11:14] <Flannel> gb__: yep
[11:15] <gb__> ty flannel
[11:15] <mackinac> !hi | gb__
[11:15] <ubotu> gb__: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[11:15] <scarpitch> yeah, thats what I thought of as well.. But I have nooo idea how to :D
[11:15] <Flannel> scarpitch: nor do I.  You might ask in #winehq, that's the wine channel
[11:15] <scarpitch> k! thanx
[11:15] <gb__> what bout ,exe file
[11:15] <gb__> can i help?
[11:15] <gb__> hi scar
[11:16] <Frogzoo> CrakeHunter: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileServerOnLVMOnRAID1?highlight=%28raid%29
[11:16] <yomm> matt : as i said before , I'm nt an expert , but it seems that uninstalling the other raid tools wiped out your superblock description
[11:16] <gb__> guess not :)
[11:17] <detectiveinspekt> is it possible to setup a postfix server without a domain name, in otherwords just on a normal dsl connection?
[11:17] <mattdwilnew> yeah looks like it :(
[11:17] <sewensins> LTSP? i have just a simple question on the chroot... cos i just dont get what i need to enter into this file "/opt/ltsp/i386/etc/ltsp_chroot"
[11:17] <mattdwilnew> well at least i have something to go on
[11:17] <gb__> later guys
[11:17] <yaman> how do i know if my vga card driver is ryt and the vga card have the best drivers ???
[11:17] <yomm> so you need  mdadm to rebuild your array , without relying on the superblock
[11:18] <sewensins> ive tried several things ...like paths usernames and so on..none worked
[11:18] <yomm> matt : i believe there are options as well where you can specify wich disks you want to use for mdadm instead of having mdadm recignizing them automatically ( by superblock )
[11:18] <aflack> Question.
[11:19] <aflack> I'm getting this error: configure: error: *** GLIB >= 1.2.2 not installed - please install first *** when trying to install xmms.
[11:19] <aflack> Any idea how to fix it?
[11:19] <ardchoille> aflack: xmms is in the repos. Any reason you're not installing from the repos?
[11:19] <mneptok> aflack: how are you tring to install xmms?
[11:19] <ardchoille> !xmms
[11:19] <ubotu> Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Banshee, Beep Media Player, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine  -  See also !codecs
[11:20] <aflack> It's in the repository?..
[11:20] <aflack> For 5.10?
[11:20] <aflack> Breezy?
[11:20] <aflack> I tried searching for it in the pkg list..
[11:20] <aflack> Then downloaded the .gz file, and tried to ./configure
[11:21] <Flannel> aflack: why not just install xmms from the repos?
[11:21] <aflack> After gunzip, tar, blah blah.
[11:21] <yaman> need help here [11:21] <aflack> And it errored.
[11:21] <aflack> Flannel; How do you suppose I do that?
[11:21] <tomcatt> morning, ya'll
[11:21] <Flannel> aflack: apt-get install xmms?
[11:21] <aflack> Flannel; Look.
[11:22] <ardchoille> aflack: !info xmms Breezy
[11:22] <ardchoille> !info xmms Breezy
[11:22] <ubotu> xmms: Versatile X audio player that looks like Winamp. In component main, is optional. Version 1.2.10+cvs20050209-2ubuntu2 (breezy), package size 979 kB, installed size 7216 kB
[11:22] <aflack> E: Package xmms has no installation candidate
[11:22] <Flannel> aflack: pastebin your sources.list, you must have something odd going on
[11:23] <aflack> Odd indeed.
[11:23] <tomcatt> what is a good mailling software that I can use that will let me import old mail from backed up files?
[11:23] <mneptok> tomcatt: what kind of files?
[11:23] <ardchoille> aflack: Unless you have a special need, there isn't much need to compile anyting in Ubuntu because the repos are huge.
[11:23] <aflack> I know.
[11:23] <mneptok> tomcatt: hint - "old mail files" is not a valid answer ;)
[11:24] <aflack> The thing is, none of the packages are showing up.
[11:24] <aflack> It's odd.
[11:24] <Flannel> aflack: pastebin your sources.list
[11:24] <aflack> Flannel; pastebin?
[11:25] <Flannel> !pastebin | aflack
[11:25] <ubotu> aflack: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[11:25] <tomcatt> neptok:  for example, evolution files.  i'm trying to import all of my backups.  i had to reinstall
[11:25] <Tomcat_> tomcatt: Most mailing software uses standardized files, so it will work with most apps... but you'll have to answer mneptok's question anyway.
[11:25] <Tomcat_> tomcatt: Evolution uses "mbox", so all apps that can do mbox will be able to use that.
[11:26] <aflack> Thanks, Flannel.
[11:26] <aflack> Sec.
[11:26] <tomcatt> Tomcat_:  Dumb question:  Does Evolution store all of the mail in the "home/user" directory?
[11:26] <osrc_server_expe> Hello everyone
[11:26] <Tomcat_> tomcatt: Yes, it does.
[11:27] <osrc_server_expe> How can i playback amr files in ubuntu 6.10?
[11:27] <Tomcat_> tomcatt: Something like ~/.evolution/mail/local/<mailfolder>
[11:27] <mneptok> tomcatt: do you have a backup of your old home dir (including hidden files)?
[11:27] <ardchoille> tomcatt: Yes, in ~/.evolution/mail
[11:27] <Tarsinion1> How can i reset the gonme Keymanager. I can not save any passworts at the moment, cauz i have no access to the key manager ;-)
[11:28] <tomcatt> Tomcat_:  Okay, kewl.  I thought it was easy to import the mail, but it didn't work.
[11:28] <tomcatt> Tomcat_:  unless I need to just copy the files into the directory and then run it.
[11:29] <Tarsinion1> okay thanks, found the solution myself :)) just deleted the old one ;)
[11:29] <tomcatt> neptok:  Yes, I still have the files.
[11:29] <Tomcat_> tomcatt: I regularly need to get mails from my laptop to my workstation... I only take the "no extension" files from ~/.evolution/mail/local and copy them over... they appear in Evolution just fine.
[11:29] <aflack> Flannel; I think I may have fixed it.
[11:30] <aflack> The CD didn't install everything..
[11:30] <aflack> :|
[11:30] <CrakeHunter> thanks a lot guys, i now know how to create software raid 0 :) -
[11:30] <CrakeHunter> i would like to add one question: as ubuntu 6.10 is running quite unstable (lotsa unexpected program crashes) - how is stability  compared to 6.06.1 - is dapper generally  more stable than edgy?  i might chage to dapper then
[11:30] <aflack> I must've been using a screwy cd.
[11:30] <aflack> lol.
[11:30] <Flannel> aflack: er, this is a fresh install?
[11:30] <osrc_server_expe> How can i playback amr files in ubuntu 6.10?
[11:30] <aflack> Yeah.
[11:30] <Flannel> aflack: grab something newer (dapper), Breezy goes out of support in april
[11:30] <aflack> I like Breezy. :(
[11:30] <aflack> I've liked it for a while. :|
[11:30] <yomm> matt : can u pastebin the output of  "sudo mdadm --detail /dev/yourmd" ?
[11:30] <Flannel> aflack: Dapper is just like breezy, only with newer stuff
[11:30] <aflack> Is dapper basically the same?
[11:30] <aflack> Oh crap.
[11:31] <aflack> I need to get a disc then.
[11:31] <aflack> :D
[11:31] <Flannel> aflack: yeah, just newer versions, and Edgy, and Feisty (will be)
[11:31] <aflack> Which is best?
[11:31] <Flannel> aflack: Theyre all 'the same', just different ages
[11:31] <aflack> Edgy/Dapper?
[11:31] <aflack> Ah.
[11:31] <ardchoille> aflack: I have been using Ubuntu since Warty and Dapper ahs been the most rock-solid and problem -free release to date, IMHO.
[11:31] <aflack> Which is newest? Edgy?
[11:31] <Flannel> aflack: Dapper is a LTS, which is a bit important
[11:32] <mattdwilnew> yomm: sure
[11:32] <noiano> hello
[11:32] <Flannel> aflack: Edgy is 6.10, dapper is 6.06, Dapper is more mature, having been out four months longer, and will be supported longer too, being a LTS
[11:32] <aflack> Good deal, dude.
[11:32] <CrakeHunter> flannel, does that mean that 6.06.1 is more stable than 6.10?
[11:32] <tomcatt> Tomcat_:  So, all I need to do is just copy the old files into the directory?
[11:32] <detectiveinspekt> how do you search for packages via terminal?
[11:32] <aflack> I like Ubuntu waaaaaay better than slack. :\
[11:32] <aflack> Fortunately for me, I can come here and bug you all when I have a problem.
[11:32] <aflack> Harhar.
[11:32] <Flannel> CrakeHunter: 6.06.1 is 6.06, just an updated CD
[11:32] <noiano> I am running ubuntu on an old laptop (aged 4) and I can only use the touchpad...when I connect a ps2 mouse it doesn't work...
[11:32] <ardchoille> Flannel: I hope they put out another release like Dapper before 2009
[11:33] <Arcad3> guys i have a problem that can't be fixed
[11:33] <Tomcat_> tomcatt: Should work.  Now it's giving a soundcard error.
[11:33] <ardchoille> Flannel: That would be cool.
[11:34] <Flannel> ardchoille: er, wait.  I guess dapper has until 9.04, doesn't it?
[11:34] <mattdwilnew> yomm: I don't know how to pastebin, working out command now
[11:34] <ardchoille> Flannel: Yeah
[11:34] <CrakeHunter> is there a german ubuntu channel around herE?
[11:34] <aflack> Aha, fixed it.
[11:34] <aflack> :D
[11:34] <Flannel> CrakeHunter: but yes, being out longer, it has more stable software

[11:37] <ubuntu> hii
[11:37] <Arcad3> virtualbox it was installed with Double click on it and stopped (restarted the pc)
[11:37] <mattdwilnew> yomm: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/884259
[11:37] <Arcad3> now it give me this error
[11:37] <theejoo> they are all sleeping at ubuntu-nl
[11:37] <deep> hi ubuntu ;D
[11:38] <ardchoille> Arcad3: Where did you get virtualbox package?
[11:38] <Arcad3> softpedia
[11:38] <deep> ubuntu, are you using livecd, or something like that? (:
[11:38] <tomcatt> neptok:  You just reminded me of something;  I need to find a good app for backing up my system.

[11:38] <ardchoille> Arcad3: Was it packages for Ubuntu or anohter distro like debian?
[11:38] <Arcad3> .deb
[11:39] <ardchoille> Arcad3: An Ubuntu .deb or a debian .deb?
[11:39] <Arcad3> debian
[11:39] <ardchoille> Arcad3: Ok, it's not a good idea to install debian packages on Ubuntu.
[11:39] <ardchoille> This may be the source of your problem.
[11:39] <Arcad3> how can i make apt to forget that package
[11:39] <mackinac> :o
[11:39] <tomcatt> Flannel:  Thanks
[11:39] <mackinac> ruh-roh!
[11:40] <Arcad3> should i erase something?
[11:40] <Arcad3> rm -rf / is a good idea?
[11:41] <ardchoille> Arcad3: No, not a good idea.
[11:41] <yomm> matt : not much useful in there :/
[11:41] <deep> Arcad3, haha, no, not really
[11:41] <aflack> Arcad3; That would be bad.
[11:41] <ardchoille> Arcad3: Perhaps uninstalling that debian package?
[11:41] <aflack> lol.
[11:41] <mattdwilnew> yomm: I could remove sda1, and maybe readd it
[11:41] <deep> haha ^^
[11:41] <Arcad3> apt-get remove virtualbox gives the same error
[11:41] <tomcatt> I hope one of these apps/ways can support multiple partitions.  I keep the system files on one and my home/user on another.  (In case anything goes wrong.)
[11:41] <Arcad3> aptitude autoclean ...the same
[11:42] <ardchoille> Arcad3: If you installed it with dpkg, then you need to remove it with dpkg.
[11:42] <noiano> I am running ubuntu on an old laptop (aged 4) and I can only use the touchpad...when I connect a ps2 mouse it doesn't work...any clues?
[11:42] <Arcad3> the archive does not exist
[11:42] <schwix_> Can someone msg me? I'm testing out a theme in irssi. :o
[11:43] <ardchoille> Arcad3: sudo dpkg -r vitualbox  ?
[11:43] <mneptok> tomcatt: rsync loves you
[11:43] <yomm> matt : did you read the assemble options thoroughly ? I'm sure there is an option where you can SELECT which disks to use for MDADM , rather than MDADM autorecognizing the disks via their superblock !
[11:43] <tomcatt> neptok:  LOL
[11:43] <Arcad3> isn't installed
[11:43] <mattdwilnew> yep tried that :) root@ubuntyserver:/dev/disk/by-uuid# mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 --auto=yes
[11:43] <mattdwilnew> mdadm: no recogniseable superblock
[11:43] <mattdwilnew> mdadm: /dev/sda1 has no superblock - assembly aborted
[11:43] <tomcatt> neptok:  I'll love it once I figure it out.
[11:43] <mattdwilnew> oops
[11:43] <SoulChild> Hey guys, how do i change the master audio channel ???
[11:43] <tomcatt> neptok:  :)
[11:44] <Arcad3> i've stoped the instalation and erased the archive
[11:44] <yomm> matt ok i c !
[11:44] <mattdwilnew> i have to overwrite the superblocks, but im scared ill loose the data, so i am frantically googleing :)
[11:45] <latz> Hi all, I am looking for a id3 editor which supports fetching covers from amazon. Anybody an idea?
[11:46] <Arcad3> apt-get rmove virtualbox :the archive cannot be found and it needs to be unninstalled
[11:46] <Taime1> here's an easy one: how do you tell ubuntu (gnome) to use vlc when i open media?
[11:46] <Arcad3> where shold i copy the archive that apt can find it?
[11:47] <KRASHER> Hey guys... anyone can help me with cedega? i want to try it in a LAN Game with a friend running Unreal Tournament Under Windows... it's possible?
[11:47] <deep> Taime1, you in gnome?
[11:47] <Taime1> yes
[11:47] <Arcad3> yes KRASHER
[11:47] <Arcad3> u have cedega installed?
[11:48] <KRASHER> i try to connect to a game created by him but it doesn't show up in the Lan Games avaiable
[11:48] <latz> KRASHER, if I am not mistaken there are linux binaries for Unrela Tournament
[11:48] <deep> Taime1, ouch, well.. in kde you can rightclick a file > properties, and at "Type: <filetype>" there is a button, configure button.. If you click it you can choose what program to open it with
[11:48] <deep> Taime1, i guess its something like that in gnome too
[11:48] <Taime1> hmm.. ill get back to you
[11:49] <latz> KRASHER, http://www.lokigames.com/products/ut/updates.php3 there you go
[11:49] <aflack> Man, Q3 lags to where I can't even move on Ubuntu.
[11:49] <soundray> Taime1: right click - Properties - Open With
[11:49] <goban> can cocoa applications run in ubuntu?
[11:49] <soundray> goban: no
[11:50] <Taime1> well, deep, you were right...but the odd thng is, i have been doing it differently in kde too! haha
[11:50] <Taime1> but thanks
[11:50] <Arcad3> ardchoille:here is the name of the package VirtualBox_1.3.4_Ubuntu_edgy_i386.deb..my OS is edgy
[11:50] <Taime1> kde has a "prefered applications" kind of a section in control center
[11:50] <KRASHER> Cedega doesn't implement Multiplayer Game?
[11:51] <goban> ah ok, im getting fed up with swing and someone told me cocoa was good, but it seems thats not a good answer since its not cross platform
[11:51] <spikeh> how do I start X in command
[11:51] <Arcad3> startx
[11:51] <spikeh> thank you
[11:51] <Taime1> but yeah, thanks, it was in that menu, and did, indeed change system-wide
[11:51] <Taime1> later!
[11:52] <spikeh> after installing fglrx and configuring xorg by using "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and starting X; it refuses to launch any applications including the installation script
[11:52] <ikonia_> what installation script ?
[11:52] <Arcad3> nvidia?
[11:52] <spikeh> to install Ubuntu
[11:52] <ikonia_> eerrrrr you've got ubuntu installed
[11:52] <spikeh> I don't
[11:52] <ikonia_> hence why your mofidying X
[11:53] <spikeh> I'm modifying X because ati doesn't work
[11:53] <ikonia_> you're installing ati drivers and reconfiguring X on the livecd
[11:53] <spikeh> yes
[11:53] <ikonia_> I see
[11:53] <aflack> lol
[11:53] <mneptok> spikeh: not gonna work.
[11:53] <spikeh> mneptok: please explain
[11:54] <mneptok> spikeh: not=will not or "impossible" | gonna = shorthand for "going to" |  work = function, or operate
[11:54] <steel_lady> Is there a way to make browser play all the multimedia content on its pages with VLC???
[11:54] <aflack> lol.
[11:54] <spikeh> I was expecting something as to "why"
[11:54] <deep> Haha. :D
[11:54] <spikeh> or perhaps some solutions to resolve the issue
[11:54] <aflack> I love this channel.
[11:54] <deep> aflack, me too. ^^
[11:54] <IdleOne> spikeh, you ned to install ubuntu system wide before you can add the ATI drivers
[11:55] <mneptok> spikeh: the solution is to install the OS.
[11:55] <soundray> !info mozilla-plugin-vlc | steel_lady
[11:55] <ubotu> steel_lady: mozilla-plugin-vlc: multimedia plugin for web browsers based on VLC. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.6-svn20061012.debian-1ubuntu1.1 (edgy), package size 26 kB, installed size 116 kB
[11:55] <spikeh> how would I install in commandline
[11:55] <spikeh> as this is all I have at the moment
[11:55] <aflack> ;o
[11:55] <ikonia_> use the alternate cd
[11:55] <aflack> "Install CD"
[11:55] <mneptok> spikeh: reboot
[11:55] <Tomcat_> Why should installing the ATI drivers on the LiveCD not work?
[11:55] <ikonia_> or try the "safe mode" graphics
[11:55] <spikeh> ikonia_ the liveCD and install CD are the same thing
[11:55] <mneptok> spikeh: nhen you reboot you'll have a GUI.
[11:56] <mneptok> *When
[11:56] <Tomcat_> It's difficult, but I think it might work. :o
[11:56] <spikeh> mneptok I can't get GUI in the first place
[11:56] <steel_lady> soundray, I am a blonde, which comand to write in terminal to install it?
[11:56] <ikonia_> spikeh - I didn't say there where not. I said use the alternate CD or safe mode
[11:56] <mackinac> desktop cd and alternate cd are not same
[11:56] <ikonia_> I didn't say use the install/livecd
[11:56] <spikeh> sorry ikonia_ I meant aflack
[11:56] <soundray> steel_lady: I like blonde. 'sudo apt-get install mozilla-plugin-vlc', restart firefox afterwards.
[11:56] <aflack> I was simply quoting my cd.
[11:57] <spikeh> this has worked before and I can't see why it doesn't now
[11:57] <aflack> What did you do differently last time?
[11:57] <spikeh> absolutely nothing
[11:57] <ikonia_> what errors are you getting when you try to launch applications
[11:57] <truent> anyone know why dvd playback wouldnt work in ubuntu?.. works fine in windows.. i get medium not found errors
[11:57] <detectiveinspekt> how do i upgrade dapper to edgy?
[11:57] <spikeh> ikonia_ I don't get any errors, it attempts to launch and I see it in the taskbar, and then it disappears
[11:57] <ikonia_> !dvd >truent
[11:57] <IdleOne> !dvd | truent
[11:57] <ubotu> truent: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[11:58] <mattdwilnew> yomm:
[11:58] <mattdwilnew> i think i did it :)
[11:58] <truent> ikonia, thanks.. but i dont think its a matter of decrypting.. even dvdroms wont work
[11:58] <steel_lady> soundray, it says mozilla-plugin-vlc is already the newest version, why is it not working then?
[11:58] <ikonia_> isn't there something tricky about messing with the livecd Xserver due tot he fact that its all in memory and doesn't properly leave memory when you restart it
[11:58] <usuario> xica mala
[11:58] <IdleOne> truent, you need to install libdvdcss2 info at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[11:59] <truent> k
[11:59] <truent> i'll try that
[11:59] <soundray> steel_lady: perhaps you have another plugin interfering. Enter 'about:plugins' as the URL to check.
[11:59] <spikeh> ikonia_ so would the "alternate" CD install then? is there no way to install in commandline for the desktop disc?
[11:59] <spikeh> normal boot doesn't work and safe graphics mode manages to give me commandline
[12:00] <mattdwilnew> yomm I created a new raid with /dev/.static/dev/sda1 instead of /dev/sda1
[12:00] <ikonia_> spikeh I'd try the alterneate cd
[12:00] <steel_lady> soundray, what should I do with all that information? realplayer also has the plugin enabled but it doesn't work
[12:00] <Lacrimosa> :-)
[12:00] <Lacrimosa> anybody running Ubuntu on T1 ?
[12:01] <ikonia_> Lacrimosa a netra T1 ?
[12:01] <ikonia_> or a T1 line
[12:01] <soundray> steel_lady: is the vlc plugin listed?
[12:01] <steel_lady> yes soundray
[12:01] <Lacrimosa> sun cool'd T1
[12:01] <yomm> matt : and ?
[12:01] <ikonia_> Lacrimosa coold T1 ? do you mean Cool threads T1000 or a Netra T1
[12:01] <mattdwilnew> and i mounted the raid and i can view the contents!
[12:02] <mattdwilnew> so i'm going to copy to my main drive
[12:02] <yomm> matt : excellent :)
[12:02] <Lacrimosa> coolthreads, of course
[12:02] <mattdwilnew> then wipe it :)
[12:02] <scarpitch> How do I add a program to PATH? Installed "Ark", but it wont extract *.rar.. says that "The utility unrar is not in your PATH. please install ...." But that's kind of what I just did :)
[12:02] <mattdwilnew> (the raid)
[12:02] <mattdwilnew> and start over
[12:02] <humbolto> my eth0 is not working anymore after upgrade to feisty
[12:02] <ikonia_> Lacrimosa I've not got it running at this moment. But I have seen one installed in the lab
[12:02] <yomm> matt : lol , what else ;)
[12:02] <humbolto> when I force a sudo "dhclient eth0" it tells me "SIOCSIFADDR: Permission denied". Same for IFFLAGS
[12:02] <ikonia_> humbolto fesity is alpha software
[12:02] <mattdwilnew> going to have to do a better job this time
[12:03] <humbolto> Network manager does not work either. what to do now?
[12:03] <ikonia_> humbolto #ubuntu+1 for alpha software discussion
[12:03] <yomm> matt :  a clean mdadm create should give you no probs whatsoever :)
[12:03] <soundray> steel_lady: can you point me to one of the online media files that you want to play with the vlc plugin?
[12:03] <JohnRobert> humbolto: do: sudo ifconifg
[12:03] <spikeh> wow I can't believe this, it's just my optical drive
[12:03] <humbolto> ikonia_: nobody there
[12:03] <yomm> matt : I've been running 3 arrays for 6 months now , it's stable as hell :)
[12:03] <JohnRobert> humbolto: then see what interfaces you have on the system
[12:03] <ikonia_> humbolto thats the price of alpha software
[12:03] <spikeh> I had a hunch and swapped the disc to a diff drive and now it's working
[12:03] <Lacrimosa> ikonia_: yep :-(
[12:04] <JohnRobert> network-manager is alpha?
[12:04] <ikonia_> Lacrimosa are you strugglging to get it working ?
[12:04] <ikonia_> JohnRobert no feisty distro is
[12:04] <yaman> need help here [12:04] <JohnRobert> ah right
[12:04] <JohnRobert> yeah
[12:04] <steel_lady> soundray, I can not play almost anything
[12:04] <JohnRobert> it's broken, don't expect it to work
[12:04] <JohnRobert> :p
[12:04] <soundray> steel_lady: can you *point me to* one of the online media files that you want to play with the vlc plugin?
[12:05] <ikonia_> sexcopter Bristol uni - nice
[12:05] <humbolto> ikonia_: I know the price. And I have no problem with it. But still I want to work things out.
[12:05] <steel_lady> soundray, with a lot of problems it play some things that are somehow done in flash and it plays youtube. but the rest it doesne
[12:05] <ikonia_> humbolto cool = #ubuntu+1 is the palce
[12:05] <ikonia_> place even
[12:05] <soundray> steel_lady: PLEASE give me an example that doesn't work
[12:05] <mneptok> humbolto: Feisty questions to #ubuntu+1 please
[12:06] <sexcopter> hi there. I'm running dapper livecd on a dell pc, it has intel 82845 integrated graphics, and i'm forced at the moment in 640 at 60hz. if i go ahead and install, is there any guarantee i'll get it to 1024?
[12:06] <daviey> sexcopter, GAIM yuke
[12:06] <mneptok> sexcopter: i810?
[12:06] <humbolto> ikonia_: That I know either. But nobody there right now. So I am trying to collect some clues here.
[12:06] <ikonia_> sexcopter no promise, but you should be able to configure it better onice installed
[12:06] <Lacrimosa> ikonia_: well i yea
[12:06] <sexcopter> ikonia_: yeah, i'm a student here, do you know bristol uni?
[12:06] <ikonia_> humbolto I guess its best to wait in #ubuntu+1 for the correct people
[12:06] <tahsin> why is my flight gear running so slowly ?
[12:06] <mneptok> sexcopter: do you see big raster borders?
[12:06] <steel_lady> www.hrt.hr/streams/hr1.ram     soundray
[12:06] <sexcopter> mneptok: not sure, is that the same thing?
[12:06] <ikonia_> sexcopter very well - pop into #ubuntu-offtopic if you wantedto chat about it
[12:07] <sexcopter> mneptok: raster borders?
[12:07] <sexcopter> ikonia_: another time if that's ok, i want to get this sorted first :)
[12:07] <ikonia_> not at all
[12:07] <henry_Yang> ..
[12:07] <ikonia_> sexcopter do you know what video card you've got
[12:07] <Lacrimosa> ikonia_: forget it...
[12:07] <ikonia_> Lacrimosa fixed it ?
[12:07] <mneptok> sexcopter: big black borders
[12:08] <tahsin> why is flight gear running very slowly
[12:08] <wormboy> hey i run ubuntu 6.10 on HP nx6310 laptop and i have proplem with gnome-power-manager. i doesn't update the power meter at all when running on battery. can smb pls help me fix this??
[12:08] <soundray> steel_lady: for that, you need mozilla-mplayer (tested here, works)
[12:08] <sexcopter> mneptok: well ubuntu doesn't fill out the whole screen (easily adjusted with the monitor), but borders for windows seem ok.
[12:09] <ikonia_> sexcopter do you know what video card you've got
[12:09] <mneptok> sexcopter: sounds like the i810 issue. 3 lines in xorg.conf fixes it.
[12:09] <Jadi> {ktzn}, Khosh oomadi :)
[12:09] <sexcopter> is the i810 a generic driver or an actual chipset? i'm a tad confused
[12:09] <tahsin> ikonia: yes nvidia rive tnt2
[12:09] <ikonia_> the i810 is the generic intel driver
[12:09] <steel_lady> soundray, that works also in real player I have installed but not inside the browser
[12:09] <ikonia_> tahsin, I was talking to sexcopter
[12:09] <tahsin> sorry
[12:09] <ikonia_> not at all
[12:10] <sexcopter> as i say, device manager says "82845G/GL[Brookdale-G] /GE Chipset"
[12:10] <soundray> steel_lady: anyway, this is not a stream that vlc would be a suitable delegate for.
[12:10] <steel_lady> it doesn't work windows media and quicktime either. soundray
[12:10] <mneptok> tahsin: and that TNT2 is why it's running slowly. 8 year old video cards do that.
[12:10] <ikonia_> sexcopter you "may" for you own interest want to try the intel driver - simpley because thats the same driver as i810 but with some updates
[12:11] <steel_lady> soundray, and why whatever I choose to reproduce in mplayer it doesn't work?
[12:11] <sexcopter> so, it's probably worth my while going ahead installing
[12:11] <ikonia_> sexcopter but I suspect once ubuntu is instlled a quick X configuration will get you a fine setup with i810
[12:11] <sexcopter> ok ikonia_, thanks. I'll give it a shot!
[12:11] <sexcopter> and thanks mneptok too
[12:11] <tahsin> mneptok: but it runs fine on windows :d
[12:12] <ikonia_> tahsin windows != linux
[12:12] <soundray> steel_lady: perhaps you have missing codecs
[12:12] <tahsin> ikonia what do you mean
[12:12] <Arcad3> tashin u have windows installed?
[12:12] <henry_Yang> https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/graphics-cards.html
[12:12] <sexcopter> oh bother. the installer doesn't fit in the screen when in 640. that's a major shortcoming of the installer imo
[12:12] <ikonia_> tahsin you can't compare windows support/compatability to linux
[12:13] <sexcopter> managed to move the window though
[12:13] <tahsin> yes
[12:13] <tahsin> ok so that mean it will not work on linux
[12:13] <NicegirL> what does the != mean?
[12:13] <ikonia_> NicegirL no equal
[12:13] <steel_lady> soundray, yes I am missing codecs. that's why I want to put vlc to reproduce avi wma and quicktime
[12:13] <ikonia_> not equal
[12:13] <wormboy> hey i run ubuntu 6.10 on HP nx6310 laptop and i have proplem with gnome-power-manager. i doesn't update the power meter at all when running on battery. can smb pls help me fix this??
[12:13] <ardchoille> NicegirL: != mans is not equal to
[12:14] <NicegirL> ikonia thanx!
[12:14] <IdleOne> NicegirL, != not equal too but should mean linux is better then :)
[12:14] <deep> IdleOne, windows < linux, then. :D
[12:15] <IdleOne> deep, depending how you want to read it :P yeah
[12:15] <mattdwilnew> yomm: hopefully! :)
[12:15] <deep> IdleOne, or just simply "Linux truly is better then windows"
[12:15] <zcat[1] > linux > *
[12:16] <soundray> steel_lady: I think the way forward is to disable all plugins except vlc, then test with avi, wma and quicktime files.
[12:17] <IdleOne> this is better for ubuntu-offtopic but windows is not a bad OS it just has it's shor commings like any other OS....Linux is'nt well suited for gaming for example  but the Linux community is working on that also :)
[12:17] <deep> zcat[1] , exacly. :D

[12:25] <yomm> Frogzoo : ok i'll look into that ! thx !
[12:26] <soundray> steel_lady: then restart firefox. You should have vlc as the only enabled plugin after that. Check with about:plugins, then test.
[12:27] <payam> which one shoul i take?
[12:27] <payam> Gizmo for what?

[12:33] <soundray> Orfeous: be specific
[12:33] <daviey> Orfeous, whats the problem?
[12:34] <daviey> !ask | Orfeous
[12:34] <ubotu> Orfeous: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:34] <payam> i had Blufish on my Parsix but i coulndt see the design ,. i sould see just the Codes
[12:34] <Orfeous> the problem is that i had windows before with a custom installed MBR... so when i restart my computer and after it checks for cd.. it says just MBR....blabla..
[12:34] <payam> do you understand what i mean
[12:34] <Orfeous> then nothing is happening.
[12:34] <ardchoille> payam: Sounds like you want a html WYSIWYG editor
[12:35] <payam> i  want some softeare like Dreamweaver
[12:35] <steel_lady> soundray, it happens like always, black screen with no video title
[12:35] <Orfeous> is it possible to install ubunu boot loader manually
[12:35] <soundray> steel_lady: give me the URL please
[12:35] <daviey> Orfeous, yes, it's called grub
[12:35] <Orfeous> something is bad with mbr can i clean it
[12:35] <daviey> !grub | Orfeous
[12:35] <ubotu> Orfeous: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[12:35] <payam> whats that?
[12:35] <Icehawk78> mneptok: A few other questions - is my mailserver going to be pop.mydomain.homeip.net, or just mydomain.homeip.net, if I set the internet hostname  and domains to recieve mail for to mydomain.homeip.net?
[12:35] <Orfeous> i have booted now on the install-dvd
[12:35] <CheshireViking> payam, if you want a wysiwyg editor have a look at NVU
[12:35] <IdleOne> payam, try Nvu sudo aptitude install nvu
[12:35] <payam> Dreamweaver have 2 parts. Design and code
[12:35] <deep_> payam, quanta have som WYSIWYG feautures, afaik.
[12:35] <payam> ok. lets se
[12:36] <mackinac> wysiwyg = graphical editor (what you see is what you get)
[12:36] <daviey> Ice_Wewe, same as your ip/host (not pop)
[12:36] <ardchoille> payam: Have you tried: ooffice -web
[12:36] <Caplain> ardchoille: i want to burn a vcd
[12:36] <Orfeous> can grub clean my mbr on my harddisk_
[12:36] <mneptok> Icehawk78: where is this machine?
[12:36] <steel_lady> http://dl.net.hr/webcafe/filmici/gest_na_svadbe.wmv   soundray
[12:36] <soundray> Orfeous: follow the page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows -- you can do it from the booted DVD
[12:36] <mneptok> Icehawk78: in your home, connected to cable/DSL?
[12:36] <payam> Office web?
[12:36] <ardchoille> payam: Yes
[12:36] <payam> No. waths that?
[12:37] <Icehawk78> mneptok: Yes, home through a router with a static IP
[12:37] <ardchoille> payam: Open a terminal and run: ooffice -web
[12:37] <Frogzoo> Orfeous: installing grub will overwrite the mbr - but you don't want to 'clean' the mbr - you'll lose your partition table
[12:37] <daviey> IdleOne, isn't there a fork of NVU that is more upto-date?
[12:37] <Icehawk78> mneptok: I have DynDNS set up for it to mydomain.homeip.net
[12:37] <IdleOne> daviey, dont know
[12:37] <mneptok> Icehawk78: in your home, connected to cable/DSL?
[12:37] <Icehawk78> mneptok: yes
[12:37] <payam> Open office?
[12:37] <ardchoille> OpenOffice.org web designer
[12:37] <mneptok> Icehawk78: 99% chance your ISP filters all traffic on port 25.

[12:38] <marcko> Hello. Ubuntu is really nice but... that menu... Is it possible to implement in the next version a menu like the one from OpenSUSE ? At least as an option ?
[12:38] <mneptok> Icehawk78: before you go about configuring a mail server it's best to read your ISP's TOS
[12:38] <payam> Its looks like Microsoft Word not any Html editor
[12:38] <ardchoille> marcko: You on Edgy?
[12:38] <marcko> Yes
[12:39] <soundray> steel_lady: install ffmpeg and w32codecs, then try again

[12:39] <Orfeous> why isnt grub installed when i install ubuntu
[12:39] <Icehawk78> mneptok: Can I specify postfix to listen for pop to listen on a different port, then? I'm planning on using this specifically just for one very specific purpose (ie not for email, really, but I need control over *a* pop3 server to be able to create accounts on)
[12:39] <mneptok> Icehawk78: my guess is that running a mail server is against the TOS, and will cause them to immediately terminate your connection.
[12:39] <steel_lady> soundray tell me how
[12:39] <payam> NYU  is good i think
[12:39] <Frogzoo> sexcopter: run "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[12:39] <CrakeHunter> how can i backup my evolution data?
[12:39] <daviey> Orfeous, how many hard drives do you have?
[12:39] <marcko> thanks ardchoille
[12:39] <Icehawk78> mneptok: Really?
[12:39] <mneptok> Icehawk78: postfix can listen anywhere. but call your ISP and play nice.
[12:40] <soundray> steel_lady: 'sudo apt-get install ffmpeg w32codecs'
[12:40] <Frogzoo> CrakeHunter: backup ~/.evolution/
[12:40] <Icehawk78> mneptok: Fair enough. I'll check back in a few minutes after I find our TOS
[12:40] <sexcopter> Frogzoo: what will that achieve? It's a fresh install already.
[12:40] <steel_lady> Package w32codecs is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[12:40] <steel_lady> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[12:40] <steel_lady> is only available from another source
[12:40] <steel_lady> E: Package w32codecs has no installation candidate

[12:42] <Orfeous> now i got some errors
[12:42] <steel_lady> soundray I have dell inspiron 6400
[12:42] <daviey> Orfeous, when did you disconnect them?  Before installing or after?
[12:42] <soundray> Orfeous: it has to be setup (hd0)
[12:42] <Orfeous> daviey: after
[12:43] <Orfeous> soundray: ah, now it works
[12:43] <daviey> Orfeous, Grub would have installed on the primary boot drive; ie your old Windows one or something.  Thats probably where grub is installed
[12:43] <Orfeous> daviey: the harddisk is formatted and are going to be used for ubuntu
[12:44] <Orfeous> hmm..
[12:44] <Orfeous> i did a misstake.
[12:44] <soundray> steel_lady: can you try 'vlc http://dl.net.hr/webcafe/filmici/gest_na_svadbe.wmv' pls
[12:44] <Orfeous> i just remember that i have SATA disk
[12:44] <marcko> ardchoille , nice :) I guess i just need a little patience and way for the next release
[12:44] <Orfeous> so it would be setup (sd0)
[12:44] <soundray> Orfeous: no
[12:45] <soundray> Orfeous: grub knows only (hd?), not (sd?)
[12:45] <ardchoille> marcko: I had it working great in Dapper. It should work fine on Edgy now.
[12:45] <Orfeous> soundray: hmm.. ok.
[12:45] <soundray> Orfeous: no matter if they are SCSI, SATA or IDE
[12:45] <truent>  anyone have any idea why dvd's wont read on my drive.. but cd's will.. same drive mind you... and everything as far as i can tell understands that it is a dvd drive?
[12:45] <marcko> Thanks for the suggestion :) I guess will try
[12:45] <Orfeous> soundray: so it might work now if i reboot?
[12:46] <Orfeous> root and setup was the only thing to do?
[12:46] <ardchoille> marcko: Remember to grab the plugins too, they add a lot of nice functionality to USP.
[12:46] <soundray> Orfeous: I haven't followed the whole story, so I can't tell you
[12:46] <steel_lady> soundray, it plays with vlc if I download it but not from the terminal comand
[12:46] <Frogzoo> truent: maybe it's a CDR ?
[12:46] <Orfeous> soundray: ok
[12:46] <Orfeous> i try then i come back if it fails.
[12:46] <truent> frogz: haha.. nah in windows it works fine..
[12:48] <Frogzoo> truent: can you read from the dvd: sudo dd if=/dev/hd# of=/dev/null bs=10000 count=10
[12:48] <marcko> thanks again ardchoille
[12:48] <seravitae> um hi i have a logitech rumblepad pro gamepad and it works/worked fine
[12:48] <seravitae> except a game is looking for /dev/js0 or js1 (joystick) and its not there
[12:49] <seravitae> any ideas how i can get it there
[12:49] <soundray> steel_lady: strange -- here it plays in standalone vlc (both the downloaded file and the URL), but the plugin doesn't work, either.
[12:49] <truent> no medium found
[12:50] <steel_lady> soundray, so the plugin is made bad way
[12:50] <Frogzoo> truent: the above command works for a CD?
[12:50] <truent> it would if put one in
[12:50] <truent> same drive
[12:50] <Frogzoo> truent: well try it
[12:50] <soundray> steel_lady: I think so

[12:57] <BleSS> hi!
[12:57] <Shaffox> !botsnack
[12:57] <ubotu> Yum!
[12:57] <BleSS> i installed kubuntu from scratch, is possible to install ubuntu?
[12:57] <soundray> BleSS: 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop'
[12:58] <kondor21> newbie here so sorry because I know that this question is probably common.  On "system monitor" I can only see one of my hard drives, I mounted the other one before, but is there a way to make it mount so it stays on all the time?
[12:58] <krinns> hi all
[12:58] <daviey> Anybody been able to build mesa DRI?
[12:58] <cherva> can someone tell me a nice bit torrent client who can be minimized to try like ktorrent in KDE but for gnome
[12:58] <krinns> i need to update my konquroro
[12:58] <BleSS> soundray: but I have kubuntu
[12:58] <daviey> chemaja, ktorrent will work in ubuntu/gnome
[12:58] <darkstar> Hi there I need help. my bootloader is gopne. I've now rebooted into edgly 'recovery mode' and need to re-install grub on mbr. Can you please tell me how?
[12:58] <BleSS> soundray: ah ok
[12:58] <Frogzoo> kondor21: you want to use gparted to create new partitions (ext3 file system format) & add the partitions to /etc/fstab (use blkid to get the UUIDs)
[12:58] <chemaja> cherva, ^^
[12:59] <BleSS> soundray: ant then apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop
[12:59] <soundray> BleSS: if you run this command, you will have the gnome desktop in addition. You can choose as you log in
[12:59] <soundray> BleSS: no
 ??
[12:59] <daviey> darkstar, are you Orfeous?
[12:59] <soundray> BleSS: you can (should) leave kubuntu-desktop untouched.
[12:59] <chemaja> cherva, daviey talked to me instead of you
[12:59] <darkstar> nope, just darkstar...
[01:00] <daviey> okay, try:
[01:00] <daviey> !grub
[01:00] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[01:00] <BleSS> soundray: ok, then I'll install ubuntu from scratch, thanks
[01:00] <babo> OMG: my right-mouse button keeps on being pressed by my system. So that it ends up closing windows or resetting the caret. Does anyone have any ideas here ?
[01:00] <sterilegenie> cherva, try azureus
[01:00] <cherva> chemaja what are you talking about ?
[01:00] <soundray> darkstar: pretend that Windows had killed your bootloader and follow ubotu's instructions
[01:00] <soundray> BleSS: why?
[01:00] <daviey> BleSS, you will have BOTH
[01:00] <chemaja> cherva, don't worry. daviey see above
[01:00] <CrakeHunter> how can i erase a dvdrom with ubuntus cd/dvd writer?
[01:00] <kondor21> Frogzoo  whooa, thats a bit techy for me.  I mounted the drive a few days ago.  It was formated then.  I just assumed it would stick around but apparently its not.  I guess I did not mount it permenantly and did some tempory thing.
[01:00] <BleSS> but i would ubuntu by default
[01:01] <BleSS> ok
[01:01] <cherva> when i minimize azureus it just dissapears and i have to kill the process
[01:01] <darkstar> daviey shoud i just run !grub as sudo?
[01:01] <ardchoille> cherva: Do you have the notification area applet in your panel?
[01:01] <sterilegenie> i dont minimize it, i click close and it closes to system tray for me
[01:01] <daviey> darkstar, if you are in recovery console, you are root, so no sudo needed
[01:01] <cherva> yes
[01:02] <daviey> chemaja, sorry, can't see whta you want me to see
[01:02] <sterilegenie> check your preferences
[01:02] <Orfeous> now it worked with GRUB but grub couldnt boot the default kernel
[01:02] <Orfeous> what filesystem is the best and recommended?
[01:02] <chemaja> daviey, you said "chemaja, ktorrent will work in ubuntu/gnome"
[01:02] <daviey> it will
[01:02] <soundray> Orfeous: ext3
[01:02] <Orfeous> i have always runned reiserfs on my debian computers
[01:02] <AmaroqWolf> Quick question. xD Easy one. I have my windows comp networked with this comp. I can access shared folders on it via nautilus. How do I 'cd' into them via the terminal?
[01:02] <darkstar> daviey I was able to start x as the normal user (I hit control D and been brought to gdm, then logged in as the normal user)
[01:03] <Frogzoo> truent: don't know - there's nothing in launchpad except this: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/83345 is there anything logged in /var/log/messages ?
[01:03] <Kaso> Ok so, My firefox "forgets" its settings each time i load it, i have full RW permssions on ~/.mozilla and i am the owner of it, any ideas?
[01:03] <daviey> CrakeHunter, install gnomebaker
[01:03] <kondor21> Frogzoo  hold on, I just checked System/ Disk Manager from the pull down menu and I can see it "hdb"  I wonder why I can not see itSystem Monitor ?  any ideas anyone?
[01:03] <soundray> AmaroqWolf: you can't. Nautilus-"mounted" shares are not in the normal filesystem. They are only accessible by gnomevfs-aware programs
[01:03] <daviey> darkstar, you will need sudo to 'act' as root
[01:03] <MrLightUser> crimsun: I made a post on launchpad about flashplugin-nonfree and I'd like to get a bit more feedback from you about why it's not related, Thanks
[01:04] <Frogzoo> kondor21: you need to add the partitions to /etc/fstab
[01:04] <entropy_> guys, in windows to type a character by its ascii value you go alt+<type in value> is there an equivalent in linux?
[01:04] <entropy_> s/linux/ubuntu/
[01:04] <AmaroqWolf> soundray: aw. So there's no messing with files over a network via terminal?
[01:04] <kondor21> Frogzoo any clue as to how I do that?
[01:04] <daviey> chemaja, ktorrent will work in gnome?  Whats the problem?
[01:05] <darkstar> daviey, I have ran sudo !grub  but I got  "!grub: event not found" messqge from the console
[01:05] <soundray> AmaroqWolf: use 'sudo mount -t cifs -o username=remoteuser //windowshost/sharename /mnt'
[01:05] <Orfeous> soundray: now i connected my other harddisk under install.
[01:05] <soundray> AmaroqWolf: that will make your share accessible for the shell
[01:05] <daviey> AmaroqWolf, When you say mess with files?  what do you mean.   If you want to copy, text edit and such.  use 'ssh'
[01:05] <kondor21> Frogzoo I have opened ect/fstab
[01:06] <daviey> darkstar, sorry you miss understood me.
[01:06] <AmaroqWolf> daviey I was just gonna copy. :P
[01:06] <soundray> daviey: you tend to jump in with not very well-thought out comments.
[01:06] <daviey> !grub | darkstar
[01:06] <ubotu> darkstar: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[01:06] <Orfeous> soundray: i am installing on /dev/sda1 as root and /dev/sda5 as swap.. what to tell grub to be root device?
[01:06] <daviey> soundray, pm
[01:06] <chemaja> daviey, lol if you haven't figured it out yet just dont worry
[01:06] <Orfeous> and kernel
[01:06] <soundray> daviey: go ahead
[01:07] <Frogzoo> kondor21: you need to add similar lines that will mount the partitions on the new disk
[01:07] <ubuntu> Hi!
[01:07] <ubuntu> Whether it is possible to realize under Ubuntu analogue of service WSUS from Microsoft?
[01:07] <ubuntu> Thanks.
[01:07] <darkstar> uboutu, I have not lost grub after intallling windows, just after upgrading another ditro I had installed. need to reinstall grub from ubuntu's menu.list
[01:07] <kondor21> Frogzoo  OK I will copy n paste the hda lines and change them to hdb so I have both, and pray
[01:07] <Orfeous> daviey: what will be my device names for kernel and root?
[01:08] <Frogzoo> kondor21: that won't help much
[01:08] <soundray> darkstar: that's why I said *pretend*. The procedure is the same.
[01:08] <kondor21> Frogzoo oh darn it
[01:08] <Frogzoo> kondor21: run 'blkid' - that will show you the UUIDs you need to reference the partitions on the new drive
[01:09] <darkstar> daviey, I did probably misundestand you. I thought there was an 'easy way' to reinstall grub once booted into edgy.
[01:09] <Emulator> Hello.
[01:09] <daviey> darkstar, sadly not
[01:09] <daviey> (yet)
[01:10] <kondor21> Frogzoo dude, your being way too techy for me, I am sorry
[01:10] <truent> Frogzoo, Feb 19 03:55:23 xtopia kernel: [17180779.868000]  cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!
[01:10] <darkstar> daiviey, I'll follow the lonk posted by soundray and see..
[01:10] <darkstar> soundray, thans for the link I will take a look at it and see
[01:10] <soundray> darkstar: daviey posted it, to be fair ;)
[01:10] <kuchcha> Hello room
[01:11] <AmaroqWolf> soundray: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22
[01:11] <Emulator> Excuse me, I have just recently aquired Linux Ubuntu version, and I want to at least run a gens emulator on it. However, I simply do not nderstand how to do that yet, can one of you help me?
[01:11] <darkstar> daviey, Thanks, then ;)
[01:11] <kondor21> Can anyone help me, I am a newbie.  I have a partition hdb but it is not in my ect/fstab.  How do I get it in there?
[01:11] <kuchcha> i want to execute the command pon on startup ... how do i do it
[01:11] <mecha> Can't you use the install CD anymore to install GRUB and then abort the installation process?
[01:11] <sterilegenie> sudo nano /etc/fstab
[01:12] <kuchcha> kondor21: simple...open fstab as root in ur editor and make the changes
[01:12] <Brandon> what is the longest time you stayed awake at once
[01:12] <kuchcha> wats de format?
[01:12] <Brandon> how many hours
[01:12] <ubuntu_> mods
[01:12] <Emulator> past a week.
[01:12] <kondor21> Frogzoo I figured out this bit so far...  UUID="6de108b5-163c-4153-81e7-540f2913109a" TYPE="ext2"
[01:12] <Brandon> without speed?
[01:12] <Emulator> Yes.
[01:12] <ardchoille> kondor21: echo "/dev/hdb1       /mount/point       ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       2" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
[01:13] <Brandon> whoa. thats mega hardcore
[01:13] <Emulator> Ive only done it a few times.
[01:13] <kuchcha> hi...wat bout my query..
[01:13] <Emulator> usually its about 3 days.
[01:13] <Brandon> did you feel like a zombie after a week
[01:13] <soundray> AmaroqWolf: can you tell me your windows hostname and the name of the share?
[01:13] <kuchcha> is there a file to execute commands on startup in ubuntu like autoexec.bat in windows
[01:13] <Emulator> You dont really feel much at all.
[01:13] <tharuss18> &quit
[01:13] <soundray> kuchcha: yes, /etc/rc.local
[01:14] <Brandon> flat affect.... interesting
[01:14] <kuchcha> soundray: thanks...is it for all users?
[01:14] <AmaroqWolf> soundray: hostname is the name of the windows computer right? What do you mean name of the share. Shared folder?
[01:14] <kondor21> ardchoille  do I make it ext2 as it says that in blkid
[01:14] <soundray> AmaroqWolf: yes. In the command I gave you, you have to substitute those for the placeholders I used.
[01:14] <ardchoille> kondor21: Yes, then you will need to change that to ext2 . ext3 = ext2+journal
[01:15] <Emulator> Ecuse me, About my inquiry, Has anyone installed a Gens emulator on their linux computer and ran it successfully? if so, WOuld you please tell me how to do so also?
[01:15] <Frogzoo> kondor21: tbh, you'd be best off to reformat as ext3
[01:15] <sterilegenie> whats gens emulator?
[01:15] <Emulator> Brandon - you don't pay attention much either.
[01:15] <kondor21> ok I will try and reformat it,  thanks for the help so far guys
[01:15] <ardchoille> kondor21: See what Frogzoo said
[01:15] <soundray> kuchcha: no, it can only be edited with root privileges.
[01:15] <Emulator> Brandon - when you have been awake that long.
[01:15] <mesha> I guess it's a Sega emulator.
[01:16] <kuchcha> soundray: tanks..
[01:16] <Emulator> Yes it is.
[01:16] <AmaroqWolf> steven-632f8c64 is the comp name. Shared folder is SharedDocs. I have more than one shared folder though, so I first attempted it directly to the computer itself, not down to the shared folder. Both had the same result though. wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock.
[01:16] <Brandon> Emulator: i have only stay awake for maybe 36 hour but i feel that way after only that long... like i am not really alive anymore
[01:16] <soundray> kuchcha: but if you have a user named kuchcha, you can add a command like 'su - kuchcha ls $HOME >/tmp/ls'
[01:16] <Emulator> It is a genisis emulator, but I am inept at downloading things onto the new computer with linux that i just built.
[01:16] <mesha> Emulator: http://ubuntux.wordpress.com/2006/05/17/howto-compile-gens-from-source/
[01:17] <kondor21> formating hdb with exxteded 3
[01:17] <darkstar> daiviey, supposedly I have re-installed grub.. I will give it a try now to see if it worked.
[01:17] <sterilegenie> have you checked the repos for the emulator ?
[01:17] <Emulator> THank you mesha
[01:17] <Emulator> I don't understand what that means sterilegenie.
[01:18] <sterilegenie> the ubuntu repositories
[01:18] <sterilegenie> synaptic
[01:18] <Emulator> yeah, Im lost.
[01:18] <CheshireViking> !flash9
[01:18] <ubotu> Flash 9 (Final release) is now available for dapper-backports and edgy-backports. See !backports and !flash
[01:18] <soundray> AmaroqWolf: try 'sudo mount -t cifs -o username=steven //steven-632f8c64/SharedDocs /mnt' (you will still have to put the real Windows username if it isn't steven)

[01:19] <sterilegenie> go to system then administrator and lastly click on synaptic
[01:19] <soundray> AmaroqWolf: actually, there is an easier way:
[01:20] <daveR> can i quickly check that any windows exe programs installed through win will appear in the applications folder?
[01:20] <mike1o> !print
[01:20] <ubotu> Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[01:20] <Emulator> hold on, its on my other computer SterileGenie.
[01:21] <mattfletcher> how can i successfully uninstall every trace of a mysql server from dapper?
[01:21] <sterilegenie> ok
[01:21] <AmaroqWolf> soundray: The command yielded the same outcome. I'd love an easier way. :P
[01:21] <kondor21> Question on formating a 2nd hard drive.  I have some options, one of the is "access path" any tips on what this should be?
[01:21] <daveR> how do i open an installed wine software?
[01:21] <Emulator> Sertilegenie - okay I found it.
[01:22] <ikonia_> kondor21 access path ?
[01:22] <mattfletcher> how do i list what is installed via apt-get at present?
[01:22] <kondor21> ikonia, yes such as /boot
[01:22] <ikonia_> it shouldn't ask you that for formatting it
[01:22] <sterilegenie> ok, look through the various  options on the left
[01:22] <ikonia_> @ kondor21
[01:22] <soundray> AmaroqWolf: try the instructions at http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy in the section " How to mount network folders on boot-up..."
[01:22] <kondor21> ikonia, how do you format? through terminal or Disk Manager ?
[01:23] <AmaroqWolf> daveR: If it doesn't appear in the wine submenu in your menu, if you have one, you'll have to 'cd' to wine's directory. cd ~/.wine/drive_c and look for it in there.
[01:23] <sterilegenie> im not sure what category it would be in
[01:23] <ikonia_> terminal normally
[01:23] <mattfletcher> how can i successfully uninstall every trace of a mysql server from dapper?
[01:23] <Emulator> What should i look for?
[01:23] <kondor21> ok what command is format in terminal?
[01:23] <kondor21> @ ikonia
[01:24] <ikonia_> kondor21 depends what file system you want to put on it
[01:24] <AmaroqWolf> soundray: thank you for the link. I use dapper, but I can change the link to suit my verion of ubuntu. :P
[01:24] <sterilegenie> do a search for emulator
[01:24] <andresmujica> apt-get remove mysql-server
[01:24] <Morrowyn> mattfletcher, by purging it or complete removal in synaptic?
[01:24] <mike1o> is there any driver for xerox workcentre pro 412?
[01:24] <kondor21> ikonia, i want to put ext3 on it
[01:24] <soundray> AmaroqWolf: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper -- I think the sections are identical
[01:25] <mattfletcher> morrowyn: how do i "purge" it?
[01:25] <ikonia_> kondor21 mke2fs -j /dev/$disk_device_name
[01:25] <sterilegenie> emulator- i did a search and found lots of what your looking for
[01:27] <daveR> is there a shortcut to put the screensaver up?
[01:27] <Emulator> Oh yeah?
[01:27] <kondor21> ikonia so, would it be, mke2fs -j /dev/$hdb or does devive name refer to UID or something
[01:28] <sterilegenie> did you do a search in synaptic
[01:28] <ikonia_> kondor21 device name should be /dev/sda(hda etc)
[01:29] <tuskernini> Kopete hangs ever FIRST time i start it up... is this a bug?
[01:29] <Morrowyn> mattfletcher,  apt-get remove --purge iirc, but check with man apt-get to be sure
[01:29] <Emulator> Yes I searched in synaptic
[01:29] <sterilegenie> what did you get
[01:29] <kenthomson> Namaste! How are you all doing!
[01:30] <kenthomson> Is there some place on the net, that maintains the IRC logs of all the discussion that go around here; such that they are catagorised in question which have been solved, which i can search by keywords to find a solution? (i am not talking about raw logs, but somewhat categorised ones?)
[01:31] <ikonia_> not really
[01:31] <kenthomson> really?
[01:31] <Connelly> after changing from xp to ubuntu, from a wide variety of sites, downloads on firefox are typically 30 KB/s vs 300 KB/s and often slow down and 'hang' so that it is difficult to get a download to complete without using wget
[01:31] <Emulator> gnome - terminal v.2.14.2
[01:31] <ikonia_> no - not really
[01:31] <Connelly> is there a way to fix this problem?
[01:31] <Enselic``> kenthomson: that's a Nobel prize problem
[01:31] <Emulator> kdetes
[01:31] <Emulator> konsole
[01:31] <Emulator> libvte
[01:31] <test> hmm..
[01:31] <Emulator> libxxf86dga
[01:31] <Enselic``> Connelly: sounds like an odd problem

[01:32] <johwil> hi, i need help! Where do I find plugins for .mpg & .avi?
[01:32] <Emulator> thats all I think.
[01:32] <kenthomson> ikonia, Enselic`` theres gottu be raw logs, and if we can have a language software that categorises things (in the open source world), than we could simply let it analyse all the stuff, and could get really useful accuracy
[01:32] <Connelly> Enselic``: it might just be my network slowed down recently...i can reboot into windows and try some more specific tests
[01:32] <Emulator> Im not running the latest version of Ubuntu though.
[01:32] <ikonia_> kenthomson its not that simple- hence why it doesn't exist
[01:32] <sterilegenie> emulator- click on settings in synaptics
[01:32] <Enselic``> Connelly: try the IP6 settings as suggested first
[01:32] <Connelly> Enselic``: sure i'll try disabling ipv6 thanks for the suggestion
[01:32] <soundray> kenthomson: it's a good idea. Go ahead.
[01:32] <sterilegenie> then click repositories
[01:33] <kenthomson> soundray, I ain't got the knowledge to do go ahead with such a project
[01:33] <Enselic``> kenthomson: the problem is the language analyze
[01:33] <Emulator> k...
[01:33] <soundray> kenthomson: hint: apt-cache search natural language process
[01:33] <Enselic``> soundray: getting computers to undestand langues is hard
[01:33] <kenthomson> ikonia,  Enselic``, even if we are not dealing with complex language structures simple algorith used by marketing teams all over the world, to know the frequency of the certain KEY keywords helps a lot
[01:33] <sterilegenie> are all of you repositories checked?
[01:33] <Emulator> no.
[01:34] <sterilegenie> check them all
[01:34] <soundray> Enselic``: you even found Connelly's problem hard ;)
[01:34] <ikonia_> kenthomson as I said - its not that simple
[01:34] <Ayabara> how can I find out which serial ports that exist on my system? I need to know the x in /dev/ttyx :-)

[01:36] <Ayabara> soundray, thanks.

[01:37] <Orfeous> brb
[01:37] <sterilegenie> after synaptics is finished reloading, do a search for emulator
[01:37] <Emulator> that computer is not connected to the internet.
[01:37] <kondor21> thats wierd, teminal has gone yellow and I have "I have no name" in it
[01:37] <Emulator> It said it had a networking error.
[01:38] <aflack> LOL
[01:38] <sterilegenie> well it will need to be to fetch the new repositories
[01:38] <soundray> Emulator: search http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[01:38] <darkstar> daviey, Why does grub refuse to boot stadard ubuntu lamenting a cylinder limit exceed while still allowing boot into recovery mode?
[01:39] <daviey> darkstar, hmm, you've lost me.   What was the exact error?
[01:39] <moredhel> can someone tell me how to change the colour of the font of the other person in gaim? i'm using a dark theme and can't see their writing
[01:39] <kondor21> I am getting this when I type sudo in terminal... sudo: uid 1000 does not exist in the passwd file! wonder what that means
[01:40] <chemaja> kondor21, your /etc/passwd is broken
[01:40] <kondor21> how did that break?
[01:40] <chemaja> amongst other things
[01:40] <chemaja> umm
[01:40] <chemaja> dunno i wasn't in ur CPU at the time
[01:40] <AmaroqWolf> soundray, I think I'm getting closer. Running the dmesg | tail allowed me to see this at the end. It's different than before. smbfs: mount_data version<PHONE_NUMBER> is not supported
[01:40] <kenthomson> Some-day when i got the time and motivation; we the depth of packages and libraries available in the Open-source world one can develop a really innovative package within weeks! Thats the beauty of Open-source right?! Now only if people start producing quality documentation and properly documented programs it would help a lot! As of now it is better to re-write a certain component rather than scamper through the source code that is ill-maintained, but a
[01:40] <kenthomson> gain it is open-source and voluntary so one can't complain. But i think that what ails OS-world, people let go of quality just becuase it is voluntary work, i think that is really poor and degrading for our software. There should be a standard ISO, which all the OS-software apply for and if they are stable and come with good documentation than they can be given a USER LICENSE and if their source code is well maintained/documented they can be given a DE
[01:40] <kenthomson> VELOPER LICENSE, you know something like that? Otherwise this distributed effort to build software really lets go off quality in comparison to what we develop in a strictly professional environment
[01:40] <ikonia_> !ops
[01:40] <ubotu> Help!  It now shows correct boot options but when I try booting into edgy stadard it exits with an error lamenting that cylinder exceeds limit... Whereas i can still boot into recovery mode.
[01:42] <chemaja> kondor21, i'd be making sure all packages in your dpkg are installed correctly
[01:42] <sterilegenie> sounds like a rant from a ms developer
[01:42] <kondor21> chemja ok don't take the urine :) I am new to linux and only started it on thursday
[01:42] <kenthomson> did i say something wrong?
[01:42] <kondor21> wierd it all worked fine for the last few days
[01:42] <Hobbsee> kenthomson: FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD, DONT SPAM!
[01:42] <ikonia_> you flooded the channel again
[01:42] <moredhel> anyone?
[01:42] <Hobbsee> banforwarding is appearing to break here
[01:42] <Emulator> ow....
[01:42] <ikonia_> moredhel sorry I missed your question
[01:42] <moredhel>  can someone tell me how to change the colour of the font of the other person in gaim? i'm using a dark theme and can't see their writing
[01:43] <daviey> darkstar,  if you do "sudo fdisk -l" do you get "# Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary."  appear anywhere?
[01:43] <ikonia_> moredhel itm must be in options - somewhere
[01:43] <kondor21> iyuck
[01:43] <soundray> AmaroqWolf: eek -- you may have to do 'sudo apt-get install smbfs'
[01:43] <moredhel> i've looked :S
[01:43] <darkstar> daiviey, hold on I'll check right away.
[01:43] <moredhel> there is only outgoing stuf
[01:43] <moredhel> this sucks .
[01:44] <moredhel> is it just me or does synaptic not inherit gtk themes very well?
[01:44] <moredhel> xD
[01:44] <darkstar> daviey, Nope. not at all...
[01:44] <kondor21> oh well, got a wierd feeling i will be reinstalling everything in a few mins, thanks for the help guys.
[01:45] <kondor21> I dunno, if this is the problems I get trying to mount a hard drive I might as well go back to bill
[01:46] <[0x90] _> hi. i am on ubuntu via terminal on a live session. is there a way to configure my nvidia gf 7200 gt and run X without restarting the machine?
[01:46] <Enselic``> [0x90] _: sudo gdm restart
[01:47] <Enselic``> [0x90] _: it might start on Ctrl + Alt + F7 if it doesn start at your active terminal
[01:47] <[0x90] _> but i dont have the drivers
[01:47] <Enselic``> !nvidia | [0x90] _
[01:47] <[0x90] _> xorg.conf needs to be edited, but i dont know what to edit there
[01:47] <ubotu> [0x90] _: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:47] <[0x90] _> hehe i am on a shell...

[01:48] <[0x90] _> i have lynx,,, but how will i copy that link?
[01:48] <AmaroqWolf> soundray: woohoo!! it worked
[01:48] <soundray> AmaroqWolf: well done

[01:48] <Enselic``> [0x90] _: guess youll have to *gasp* writeit manually :P
[01:48] <soundray> AmaroqWolf: was it the missing smbfs?
[01:48] <[0x90] _> lool
[01:48] <AmaroqWolf> sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=amaroq,password=************* //<IP_ADDRESS>/SharedDocs /mnt

[01:49] <soundray> AmaroqWolf: I should have thought of it sooner
[01:49] <AmaroqWolf> Thankees!
[01:49] <cherva> pls help when i minimize azureus it minimizees to nowhere (with minimize to try ON )
[01:50] <soundray> AmaroqWolf: a row of '*'s is not a very safe password ;)
[01:50] <AmaroqWolf> I know.  Ctrl + Alt + arrows a bit to see
[01:52] <cherva> Enselic``, tried all ready ,when i minimize it and i run azureus in terminal i pops up
[01:52] <cherva> from nowhere
[01:53] <Enselic``> cherva: sorry, what is the problem again?
[01:53] <cherva> when i minimize azureus it disapears and i want to minimize it to try
[01:53] <Enselic``> cherva: disappears? doesnt it go to the window area?
[01:54] <Enselic``> cherva: aka taskbar
[01:54] <cherva> nope
[01:54] <defrysk> cherva, you need to set that up in azureus
[01:54] <Enselic``> cherva: do you have a taskbar?
[01:54] <Nu3> Excuse me, WHat would make a dvdrom player not open?
[01:54] <defrysk> cherva, and make sure you have a notification area in you panel
[01:54] <cherva> i have a taskbar and i have set up the minimize to try optin in azureus
[01:54] <Nu3> mine just shut and stopped doing anything.
[01:54] <Enselic``> Nu3: lots of stuff, try to launch it from a termial for more verbose error output
[01:55] <AmaroqWolf> soundray: now how do you unmount something, out of curiosity. xD
[01:55] <defrysk> cherva, righclick panel on empty spot , select add and then selecy notification area
[01:55] <Nu3> What?
[01:55] <Enselic``> cherva: when you minimize other windows, do they show up in the taskbar?
[01:55] <Enselic``> Nu3: whats the name of the dvd player?
[01:56] <soundray> AmaroqWolf: 'sudo umount something', where you replace 'something' with either the mountpoint (works for shares as well as local filesystems) or the devicename (local only)
[01:56] <cherva> i have notification area (my skype sits there ) Enselic`` yes they are showing up in the taskbr
[01:56] <cherva> bar*
[01:56] <AmaroqWolf> soundray: thank you
[01:56] <soundray> AmaroqWolf: (not this is really umount, not unmount)
[01:56] <soundray> *note
[01:56] <tuskernini> KOPETE hangs every first time i run it... any ideas why?
[01:56] <Enselic``> cherva: hmm, I suggest an azereus source then
[01:56] <Nu3> IT is called HP lightscrobe
[01:57] <moredhel> hmm, found tutorials on art.gnome.org
[01:57] <Nu3> lightscribe*
[01:57] <Enselic``> cherva: like their irc channel
[01:57] <cherva> witch is ........
[01:57] <moredhel> tuskernini: any reason why you are using kopete in gnome?
[01:57] <defrysk>  #azureus
[01:57] <soundray> tuskernini: have you tried running it from a terminal, to see the stderr messages?
[01:57] <cherva> 10x
[01:57] <Enselic``> Nu3: when communicating on IRC, its good to mention the name of the one you talk to, that way that line will be highlighted for that person
[01:57] <Nu3> My fault.
[01:57] <Enselic``> Nu3: if you use a decent IRC client, you should have TAB completion onnames
[01:57] <soundray> tuskernini: if that's not conclusive, try 'strace kopete'
[01:57] <Enselic``> Nu3: try Ens<TAB>
[01:58] <AmaroqWolf> soundray: yeah xD I was wondering why unmount wouldn't work till you told me of umount.
[01:58] <tuskernini> moredhel, it has webcam support
[01:58] <moredhel> Enselic``: except that excessive use of highlighting annoys people
[01:58] <kenthomson> HELP; i need to find a widescreen theme for GFXBOOT: 1440x900; I looked very hard at google but can't seem to find one, does anyone care to offer some insight?
[01:58] <moredhel> tuskernini: oh ok :)
[01:58] <tuskernini> soundray, will try next time i restart or come out of suspend
[01:58] <moredhel> doesn't gaim 2 have webcam?
[01:58] <ikonia_> kenthomson I don't think it supports widescreen
[01:58] <Enselic``> Nu3: open a terminal and try to write 'lightscribe'
[01:58] <darkstar> soundray, Do you have a guess on why does gparted deems my /dev/hda from which I am running ubuntu now NOT ALLOCATED ?
[01:58] <Enselic``> Nu3: and see what it says
[01:59] <tuskernini> soundray, strace kopete...   will do when it ahppens again  thankyou
[01:59] <iroc> hi everyone, how are you?
[01:59] <Enselic``> !hi | iroc
[01:59] <ubotu> iroc: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[01:59] <kenthomson> ikonia, so than how does it scale and image to my monitor on boot?
[01:59] <tuskernini> moredhel, unless you have another option... NOT amsn... it cant work easily through a router
[01:59] <iroc> thanks ubotu
[01:59] <kenthomson> ikonia_, that was for you
[01:59] <ikonia_> it scales your image - ie it doesn't support widescreen
[02:00] <iroc> im a noob to ubuntu currently downloading the amd64 dvd
[02:00] <soundray> darkstar: I don't know -- but I suggest you avoid running gparted on a disk with mounted filesystems on it.
[02:00] <moredhel> tuskernini: gaim
[02:00] <rzts> quit
[02:00] <AmaroqWolf> soundray: kekeke, I now have two shared folders mounted in subdirs of /mnt
[02:00] <tuskernini> moredhel, with cam support... when did this happen?
[02:00] <moredhel> tuskernini: it's gtk as well :)
[02:00] <kenthomson> ikonia_, if i have a larger image (larger resolution) that is equal to my monitor resolution, than that would mean it supports widescreen, right?
[02:00] <moredhel> the beta 2 i think :\
[02:00] <moredhel> ill just test
[02:00] <ikonia_> not really no
[02:00] <ikonia_> framebuffer is probably just scalling yup
[02:00] <ikonia_> up
[02:01] <moredhel> ok, my bad, i thought it did for some reason
[02:01] <soundray> AmaroqWolf: you are rapidly approaching mastery of this thing ;)
[02:01] <kenthomson> ikonia_, so is there a way that i can have a widescreen gfx boot theme?
[02:01] <AmaroqWolf> ;)
[02:01] <darkstar> soudray, I was runnig gparted to try understanding why, afer reinstalling grub I am unable to boot into normal mode as grub exits witha a cylinder limit exceeded error message, while still allowing me to boot into recovery mode...
[02:01] <ikonia_> I don't believe so, but I could be wrong
[02:01] <iroc> are there any problems to watch out for when installing? im running an amd64 5000 dualcore
[02:01] <tuskernini> moredhel, i would have loved to use it.. but... no cam... even kopete does not allways work... and seeing skype has no vid support in linux yet...
[02:01] <cntb> zmeiat_joro:  ?
[02:01] <osrc_server_expe> Hi all
[02:02] <osrc_server_expe> does any one know how to play amr files in ubuntu
[02:02] <darkstar> soundray, I ran sudo fdisk -l but it seems there are no error messages...
[02:02] <Slart> iroc: what flavour are you installing? 32bit or 64bit?
[02:02] <Enselic``> osrc_server_expe: what kind of files are they?
[02:02] <soundray> darkstar: I saw your problem description, and I thought about it, but I haven't got any ideas. It's a difficult one to diagnose remotely.
[02:02] <iroc> the newest ubuntu 6.10 i think 64 bit
[02:03] <soundray> AmaroqWolf: careful: cp overwrites the target by default if it's a file
[02:03] <Slart> iroc: if you just want a working system go with 32bit instead.. there are still some issues with 64bit.. such as flash and wine
[02:03] <Slart> iroc: you can still get it to work.. but it's a bit more work
[02:03] <tuskernini> soundray, would kopete -caption "%c" %i %m %u be totally wrong?
[02:03] <iroc> o i dont care about wine
[02:04] <roe_> how do I get 4 virtual desktops instead of 2?
[02:04] <darkstar> soundray, thanks. I don't wanna abuse your time. Anyways this is driving me insane. Boot options between safe mode and standard mode should not really affect a cylinder exceed limit  problem, if any...
[02:04] <Slart> iroc: your choice.. you have been warned =)
[02:04] <osrc_server_expe> Enselic``: These are nokia media files
[02:04] <AmaroqWolf> soundray: I'm just gonna copy my music directory to my other computer, overwriting it's current music directory. When I get more songs on this one, I do that to update the songs I have on that one. I just want to do it this way so I can say I've done it via terminal. ;)
[02:04] <soundray> tuskernini: I don't know anything about kopete. I was just giving you a generic answer, since no kopete experts were stepping forward...
[02:04] <Enselic``> osrc_server_expe: hmm, sounds like an odd format, I'd put my bet on mplayer
[02:04] <iroc> so 32 bit runs alot better huh?
[02:04] <Enselic``> osrc_server_expe: sudo apt-get install mplayer
[02:04] <tuskernini> soundray, thank you so much.. kind of you
[02:05] <osrc_server_expe> Enselic``: k let me try that
[02:05] <Slart> iroc: well.. no.. 64 bit runs better.. but everything isn't available for 64 bit yet
[02:05] <Slart> iroc: win32 codecs is another example
[02:05] <soundray> AmaroqWolf: if you want really wizardy stuff, read 'man rsync'
[02:05] <flsp> hi, I need a help on configuring my i945 graphics chipset... can anyone help me?
[02:06] <iroc> ahhhhh ok then that explains why win32 wont install on the 64 bit im on
[02:06] <Slart> iroc: I haven't made any benchmarks but they say 64bit if faster for video-work.. and other processor intensive stuff
[02:06] <iroc> im usin 64 bit sabayon
[02:06] <Slart> iroc: just thought I'd give you a little warning..
[02:06] <cntb> zmeiat_joro: bylgarski
[02:06] <cntb> !bg
[02:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bg - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:06] <Enselic``> flsp: configure in what way? try man i810
[02:06] <iroc> thanks man
[02:07] <SoulChild> JO What's up?
[02:08] <flsp> Enselic: in fact, I cant run any 3D app in my Dapper 64. Google Earth, Quake, 3dchess - nothing works.
[02:08] <Enselic``> flsp: what happends if you try?
[02:08] <AmaroqWolf> soundray: awesome! Though it says that rsync has to be installed on both machines... I don't think a windows machine would have that, would it?
[02:08] <babo_> how do I find out whether one process in particular is page faulting or not ?
[02:09] <flsp> just a moment...
[02:09] <soundray> Slart: I've got fresh results from a comparison of a 3.2GHz P IV (32bit Mandrake) vs. Woodcrest Xeon 2.6 GHz (64bit Ubuntu). amd64 rocks.
[02:10] <soundray> AmaroqWolf: you can run rsync in Windows if you install cygwin. There may be standalone packages, too.
[02:10] <Nu3> Excuse me, how would you use a command such as sudo apt-get install build-essential gcc-3.4 nasm
[02:10] <AmaroqWolf> soundray: oh, okay
[02:10] <Nu3> I have no Idea what they are talking about when they say that.
[02:10] <Slart> soundray: the processor rocks.. yes.. but does the 64-bit OS make a large difference?
[02:11] <Enselic``> Nu3: you'd open a terminal, and write that (Ctrl + Shift + V is paste and terminal)
[02:11] <Enselic``> Nu3: a terminal is nice to have a shortcut to on a panel
[02:11] <Enselic``> Nu3: you find it in Program -> Accesories iirc
[02:11] <Enselic``> Nu3: just drag the icon onto the panel, so that you can open a terminal whenever you need
[02:11] <soundray> !unison | AmaroqWolf, another good one, with a Windows counterpart
[02:11] <Nu3> Enselic'' : Okay let me go see if I can find it.

[02:12] <Ogridi> Hi! I want to install Ubuntu on a stripe-set controlled by the nVidia-Chip on Asus A8N-E-Motherboard, but it just sees the two different harddisks and not the stripe-set
[02:12] <jussi01> !enter | enselic``
[02:12] <ubotu> enselic``: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[02:12] <soundray> Slart: oh, I'd have to put 32bit feisty on the Woodcrest machine to work that out ;)
[02:12] <Enselic``> jussi01: sure
[02:12] <Nu3> Enselic`` : I don't see anything with that name.
[02:12] <Slart> soundray: I'm thinking of doing a quick boot of a live cd just to do a little benchmarking.. see how big a difference it makes
[02:13] <shufla> hello. I've got situation similar to debian->ubuntu with packages. erp5 debs are created for debian/unstable. where may I find guidelines to ubuntize them?
[02:13] <Enselic``> Nu3: Program -> Accessories -> Terminal    is there no such entry?
[02:14] <flsp> ok, i'm back
[02:14] <flsp> i try to run googleearth:
[02:14] <britishseapower> anyone help with sound setup for me ? i get a system startup sound but nothing when i play an MP3 ? (i installed codecs with easyubuntu)
[02:14] <Nu3> Enselic`` : Oh sorry, I was looking for iirc, Yes it is there.
[02:14] <Enselic``> Nu3: iirc = if I recall corecctly ;)
[02:15] <Enselic``> Nu3: You can paste text into it with Ctrl + Shift + V, so copy the text from firefox and paste it into the commandline, then press enter
[02:15] <aflack> britishseapower; What are you using to play the mp3 files?
[02:15] <Nu3> Enselic`` : I don't understand what you mean?
[02:15] <flsp> then it returns: Google Earth has caught signal 11.
[02:15] <pkl> .part
[02:15] <Nu3> Enselic`` : n/m
[02:15] <soundray> shufla: I'd just install them with dpkg and see. If they don't try to overwrite anything in your system and don't fail any library dependencies, chances are that they will "just work".
[02:15] <flsp> and follows with a glibc stacktrace...
[02:16] <Enselic``> Nu3: it is possible to install the packages from Synaptic as well, but its much faster to use the commandline for this
[02:16] <britishseapower> aflack: default player - totem .
[02:16] <ok_now> hi, with which program can I open an .iso file in ubuntu
[02:16] <ok_now> ?
[02:16] <Slart> ok_now: mount or just open?
[02:16] <soundray> shufla: mixing debian and ubuntu is really dangerous if you do it at the repo level. At the package level, you can revert any change and get back to the previous state of the system.
[02:16] <britishseapower> aflack: same goes for an mpg film...no sound on that either
[02:17] <soundray> !mountiso | ok_now
[02:17] <ubotu> ok_now: To mount an ISO disc image, type "sudo mount -o loop my.iso <mountpoint>" There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before burning. Burning .iso files: see !burn
[02:17] <shufla> soundray: ok, sure :) but I'll be responsible for ubuntu's repositories for that system. I'm rebuilding them right now.
