[12:01] <imperfect-> Helps with HDTV playback using the nvidia chipset
[12:01] <bjames> PriceChild: there is no System | Administration | Restricted Driver Manager
[12:01] <Looie__> anyone?
[12:01] <AbuAnsar> ThanatosDrive, its too crowdy here. i m new to ubuntu as well
[12:01] <MikeRotch> i got a question about WINE and making links on my Desktop
[12:01] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: no matching precompiled kernel interface was found on NVIDIA ftp site that means the installer will need to compile a kernel for the install
[12:01] <AbuAnsar> are you an admin here?
[12:01] <PriceChild> imperfect-, is that only with the newer drivers or something?
[12:02] <PriceChild> !offtopic | AbuAnsar
[12:02] <ubotu> AbuAnsar: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[12:02] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: so i select... yes (being it the only option)
[12:02] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton: okay. sounds good. what does it do then?
[12:02] <MikeRotch> i am running a program that all I have to do is click the EXE... there is installation to WINE... but I need to make a shortcut that will WORK to open that file WITH WINE
[12:02] <ThanatosDrive> AbuAnsar: No I'm not. And it's not too crowdy, this is how it usually is.
[12:02] <PriceChild> bjames, /msg ubotu nvidia
[12:02] <MikeRotch> is that makes sense
[12:02] <mikebot> Is there a way in Feisty to sort a folder like the way WIndows has 'list' (as opposed to the ubuntu 'list' which is more like the Windows 'details')?
[12:02] <imperfect-> PriceChild : Nod.
[12:02] <bjames> PriceChild: I'm going to try synaptic instead
[12:02] <rafaelscj> kahrytan, Vista is very bad
[12:02] <sirdiego> is there anyone who can help me with fnfs and sonyacpi?
[12:02] <PriceChild> imperfect-, right. ok...
[12:02] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton: you need the kernel sources, don't you?
[12:02] <kahrytan> rafaelscj: hence I why I swore it off
[12:02] <the_elite_freak> pricechild - back and http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31472/ is my sources.list ya wanted
[12:02] <wolfe> phew
[12:02] <Gizmo_the_Great> JosefK, thanks - the JAVA upgrade to version 6 worked a treat.
[12:02] <AbuAnsar> Thantos, thanks. good luck to you too !:)
[12:02] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: unable to find kernel source tree for the curently running kernel please make sure you have installed the kernel source files and that the are properly configured
[12:03] <JosefK> Gizmo_the_Great, np's :) Have fun
[12:03] <wolfe> turned off the crappy Assistive Technology Support
[12:03] <wolfe> its a complete waste of time, process
[12:03] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: okay, that's the error message i needed
[12:03] <PriceChild> imperfect-, sudo nano -w /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common
[12:03] <imperfect-> PriceChild : Already did that.
[12:03] <PriceChild> imperfect-, and make the bottom line: DISABLED_MODULES="nv"
[12:03] <imperfect-> PriceChild : Didn't work
[12:03] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: alrighty... so im guessing hit ok... reboot then open synaptic?
[12:03] <PriceChild> imperfect-, do you still have nvidia-glx* installed?
[12:03] <imperfect-> PriceChild : I never installed it.
[12:03] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: enter the following: "apt-get install linux-source-`uname -r`
[12:03] <superjedi> how do I use faking it in amsn
[12:03] <imperfect-> PriceChild : and no it's not installed.
[12:04] <MikeRotch> i am running a program that all I have to do is click the EXE... there is installation to WINE... but I need to make a shortcut on my desktop that will WORK to open that file WITH WINE.. right now it seems like i click the shortcut and it's trying to open the shortcut not the destination EXE... please help =)
[12:04] <AbuAnsar> PrinceChild I have some problems with /dev/rfcomm0
[12:04] <AbuAnsar> PRinceChild, can u help me?
[12:04] <rafaelscj> kahrytan, good screen
[12:04] <PriceChild> imperfect-, well it must be installed if its being used ;)
[12:04] <howlingmadhowie> quinton: whereby "uname -r" is enclosed in backquotes
[12:04] <PriceChild> AbuAnsar, firstly I have only one 'n' in my name
[12:04] <kahrytan> rafaelscj: Which one? old one?
[12:04] <PriceChild> AbuAnsar, secondly, address your question to the channel and someone will assist if they know the answer
[12:04] <rafaelscj> The second
[12:04] <AbuAnsar> PrinceChild does it matter?! :angry:
[12:04] <AbuAnsar> :)
[12:04] <imperfect-> PriceChild : It's using nvidia_new or something
[12:04] <imperfect-> PriceChild: It's not installed.
[12:04] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: couldnt find package for linux-source-uname -r
[12:04] <kahrytan> rafaelscj: That's my OSX-ish desktop.
[12:05] <PriceChild> !automatix | the_elite_freak
[12:05] <ubotu> the_elite_freak: Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[12:05] <AbuAnsar> arighty will do it now
[12:05] <howlingmadhowie> quinton_: enclose "uname -r" in backquotes and try agin
[12:05] <mikebot> Is there a way in Feisty to sort a folder like the way WIndows has 'list' (as opposed to the ubuntu 'list' which is more like the Windows 'details')?
[12:05] <the_elite_freak> pricechild - thanks for the info... wish I'd known that b4 hand..heh heh
[12:05] <PriceChild> imperfect-, nvidia-glx-new.... I am unsure... especially seen as this is nvidia's software and not packaged by us.
[12:06] <imperfect-> PriceChild : It's _not_ installed.
[12:06] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: i would love to but i have no clue where the backqoutes are
[12:06] <PriceChild> Quinton__, linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[12:06] <MikeRotch> mikebot
[12:06] <MikeRotch> in every folder to the right near the top
[12:06] <howlingmadhowie> imperfect: if it's using nvidia_new, add this module to the /etc/default/linux...modules file at the end
[12:06] <MikeRotch> is a menu to sview as icons or view as list
[12:06] <AbuAnsar> $ sudo rfcomm bind 00:0F:86:F6:31:92 channel 1
[12:07] <romeu> oi
[12:07] <AbuAnsar> gives me this:
[12:07] <AbuAnsar> rfcomm0: 0C:00:00:00:00:00 channel 1 clean
[12:07] <iNcrease> mikebot, goto directory eg /home/name, --> edit, preference ... there u maybe find sonthing for more details
[12:07] <MikeRotch> mikebot if you need more options in the view as list
[12:07] <spheard> hi, Im trying to run restricted mnager on 6.10. Is it available? apt isnt finding it. >><< glxinfo |grep direct returns>> Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
[12:07] <imperfect-> If I delete .ko's from the volatile directory
[12:07] <MikeRotch> go to Edit>Preferences then the view tab
[12:07] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton: to the left next to the spacebar, or do what PriceChild wrote :)
[12:07] <imperfect-> do they come back on reboot?
[12:07] <AbuAnsar> I m tryin to access the internt thru my Blackberry bluetooth modem
[12:07] <mikebot> MikeRotch: But I don't want the details... like I want it to look the way windows sorts as a list
[12:07] <MikeRotch> sorry List Columns tab mikebot
[12:07] <MikeRotch> mike exactly
[12:07] <mikebot> MikeRotch: ie, multiple columns of items so my folder will only scroll to the right
[12:07] <MikeRotch> read the rest of what i said
[12:07] <ThanatosDrive> How do I enable openGL in Counter-Strike when running through WINE?
[12:08] <PriceChild> imperfect-, do you use any restricted drivers from linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) ? as you could remove that, reinstall your nvidia drivers and hope for the best
[12:08] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: -bash: syntax error near unexpected token '(' ?
[12:08] <imperfect-> I dujnno
[12:08] <imperfect-> lemme look
[12:08] <jr_> hey

[12:08] <MikeRotch> let me check if i can get that o wrok
[12:08] <AbuAnsar> mikebot yes

[12:09] <AbuAnsar> hgold on a asec pls
[12:09] <jr_> i need help installing Java runtime environmet, in the instructions it says i need to use the terminal and type Su and then type in a password
[12:09] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: OK, thanks.
[12:09] <jr_> i type my password
[12:09] <howlingmadhowie> quinton: try typing it again. it will work if you type it correctly: apt-get install linux-source-$(uname -r)
[12:09] <PriceChild> !java | jr_
[12:09] <imperfect-> PriceChild: it removesall the linux kernel if I do that
[12:09] <jr_> and it says unautherized
[12:09] <spheard> glxinfo |grep direct returns>> Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". I want to play some games dammit!!! can anyone help? Im running 6.10.
[12:09] <ubotu> jr_: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[12:09] <fatbrain> Where can I find those Microsoft fonts?
[12:09] <PriceChild> jr_, follow those instructions from ubotu :)
[12:09] <MikeRotch> mikebot i don't see it BUT if you view as icons
[12:09] <Veenified> jr_: try sudo
[12:09] <DavidCraft> hey I have a computer with a 40 gig hard drive running ubuntu 6.whatever.  How hard would it be to transfer everything (including all my current settings, user accounts, and everything) to another (160 gig) hard drive?
[12:09] <PriceChild> imperfect-, it really won't... pastebin the packages its removing.
[12:09] <raf256> anyone knows how to reinstall apache2?
[12:09] <Jack_Sparrow> fatbrain: msttcorefonts
[12:09] <MikeRotch> then right click and go to Arage>COMPACT LAYOUT
[12:09] <MikeRotch> that aybe be something that you like
[12:09] <MikeRotch> maybe*
[12:10] <raf256> or: why crappy ubuntu can't do such a trivial task like reinstall apache
[12:10] <jr_> hm how do i use sudo?
[12:10] <imperfect-> PriceChild : Linux-generic is the first
[12:10] <mikebot> MikeRotch: Thanks.
[12:10] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: error could not find package
[12:10] <PriceChild> imperfect-, that's not the kernel
[12:10] <imperfect-> image is still there
[12:10] <imperfect-> Good
[12:10] <Veenified> jr_: use it instead of su
[12:10] <PriceChild> imperfect-, that's a metapackage
[12:10] <imperfect-> ok
[12:10] <raf256> jr_: sudo some_command
[12:10] <wick2o> anyone try and get hylafax to work on ubuntu 7.04?
[12:10] <PriceChild> imperfect-, linux-image?
[12:10] <spheard> jr_ $>sudo apt-get install XXXXXXXXX
[12:10] <PriceChild> imperfect-, or linux-image-$foo-generic ?
[12:10] <wick2o> it keeps sending 0 byte attachements yet hte files on the server are fine
[12:10] <thinh> beryl or compiz with nvidia and fiesty?
[12:10] <fatbrain> Jack_Sparrow: thanks
[12:10] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: couldnt find linux source 2.6.20-16-386
[12:10] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[12:10] <imperfect-> PriceChild: nope the images are there.. we're good I think
[12:11] <AbuAnsar> mikebot
[12:11] <howlingmadhowie> quinton: strange.
[12:11] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: Yes,
[12:11] <imperfect-> I'm gonna try a reboot
[12:11] <MikeRotch> welcome that's as good as t gets i guess mikebot
[12:11] <MikeRotch> haha
[12:11] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: I didnt install that version I installed a newer one
[12:11] <AbuAnsar> do this :
[12:11] <AbuAnsar> sudo apt-get isntall touchpad
[12:11] <ThanatosDrive> Bah. How do I install Windows XP on dual boot?
[12:11] <thinh> where can i change f8 key bindings anyone?
[12:11] <AbuAnsar> hmm
[12:11] <PriceChild> !windows | ThanatosDrive
[12:11] <ubotu> ThanatosDrive: For help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows or your nearest mental health institute. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and !equivalents
[12:11] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: it was like 2.6.21 isntead of 2.6.20
[12:11] <AbuAnsar> no
[12:11] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: E: Couldn't find package touchpad
[12:11] <ThanatosDrive> PriceChild: For a gamer, Ubuntu is near useless.
[12:12] <howlingmadhowie> quinton. no, that's the newest version. 2.6.21 isn't a part of feisty
[12:12] <Veenified> Anyone know how to save screen resolution with a nvidia graphics card, so that the right resolution is shown when you reboot?
[12:12] <AbuAnsar> mikebot
[12:12] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: so now what?
[12:12] <AbuAnsar> mikebot try this: System > Administrator > Synaptics
[12:12] <sorin7486> wtf ?
[12:12] <DavidCraft> hey I have a computer with a 40 gig hard drive running ubuntu 6.whatever.  How hard would it be to transfer everything (including all my current settings, user accounts, and everything) to another (160 gig) hard drive?
[12:12] <AbuAnsar> mikebot Synaptics Manager
[12:13] <sorin7486> I have a question...
[12:13] <sorin7486> :)
[12:13] <sorin7486> go figure
[12:13] <PriceChild> DavidCraft, a monkey could do it probably...
[12:13] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: reboot and see if the package was installed in synaptic?
[12:13] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton: let's see if we can get the kernel-source installed using synaptic. enter the following: "/etc/init.d/gdm start"
[12:13] <wick2o> DavidCraft: norton ghost
[12:13] <sorin7486> how do I foind out what application is listening on one port
[12:13] <sorin7486> ??????
[12:13] <PriceChild> !clone | DavidCraft
[12:13] <ubotu> DavidCraft: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type  dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages , move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type  sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade  - See also !automate
[12:13] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: OK, I searched for `touchpad', but didn't get anything with that name
[12:13] <sorin7486> nmap says http-proxy
[12:13] <rambo3> DavidCraft, cp / . and change grub menu and sudo permission on new drive
[12:13] <sorin7486> but it's not squid
[12:13] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: and im signing in
[12:13] <PriceChild> DavidCraft, follow that from ubotu, and then copy your /home/username and that'll copy your specific settings
[12:13] <sorin7486> any idea ?
[12:13] <raf256> is ubuntu pacet manager at all usable nowdays?
[12:13] <Jack_Sparrow> DavidCraft: It is easy until you start adding / changing partitions etc
[12:13] <sorin7486> (btw kopete is terible with irc
[12:13] <sorin7486> )
[12:13] <MikeRotch> if you get that mikebot IM me and let me know how it worked... thanks =)
[12:13] <imperfect-> PriceChild: That did it. ;)
[12:13] <howlingmadhowie> quinton: hang on, i've found the problem. the package is called "linux-kernel-2.6.20"
[12:13] <AbuAnsar> mikebot, can u see gsypanptics?
[12:14] <imperfect-> PriceChild: woot ;)
[12:14] <raf256> because noone knows apparently how to reinstall apache with it, is that possible
[12:14] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: Yes.
[12:14] <Veenified> Anyone fluent with Nvidia and screen resolution?
[12:14] <DavidCraft> so just keep the partitions the same or what?
[12:14] <howlingmadhowie> quinton: i mean "linux-source-2.6.20" :)
[12:14] <PriceChild> imperfect-, I hope you haven't got any random wireless cards needing restricted drivers... but as you're still here you seem fine :)
[12:14] <AbuAnsar> mikebot install that one
[12:14] <Veenified> Anyone know how to save screen resolution with a nvidia graphics card, so that the right resolution is shown when you reboot?
[12:14] <howlingmadhowie> quinton: you may as well install it using synaptic, now that you've started gdm again
[12:14] <Ltar> problem with thunderbird mail: I have it synced with my gmail account, but it seems not to be downloading some messages. I was unaware of this untill I realised I had missed several extremely important emails. has anyone else noticed thunderbird neglecting to download some emails? If this cannot be resolved, I'll stop using thunderbird.
[12:15] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: Done.
[12:15] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: I just installed it in synaptic... now what?
[12:15] <Jack_Sparrow> DavidCraft: You can change them, it is easier if you dont add any below your install, add one after it np
[12:15] <AbuAnsar> mikebot, also, scroll to the end . what do u see?
[12:15] <Veenified> Ltar: did you make sure to change your pop settings in gmail?
[12:15] <howlingmadhowie> Veenified: i had this problem once. there's a line in the gnome.conf in your home directory which overrules the resolution in xorg.conf. try searching ubuntuforums.org for that issue. i wrote a posting there about it
[12:15] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: Synaptics TouchPad driver for X.Org server
[12:15] <DavidCraft> but If I just copy EVERYTHING over shouldnt it work?
[12:15] <Veenified> howlingmadhowie: thank you
[12:15] <AbuAnsar> yes. is it already installed on ur system?
[12:15] <Ltar> Veenified: yeah, there was a setting in gmail to make it forward
[12:16] <P_Kable_> any shortcut to change the keyboard layout on gnome ?
[12:16] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: Yes
[12:16] <AbuAnsar> ok
[12:16] <Ltar> Veenified: but it seems like it's forwarding messages randomly
[12:16] <jr_> when i followed the instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java it says that sudo apt-get doesnt find the dependency tree
[12:16] <AbuAnsar> mikebot lets check now.
[12:16] <jr_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java#head-7852ba79216c811b4345924d824bf15489ce7164
[12:16] <Ltar> Veenified: i'll double-check to be sure
[12:16] <AbuAnsar> mikebot: System > Preferences > Touchpad
[12:16] <jr_> it gives me this error:E: Couldn't find package sun-java5-jre
[12:16] <howlingmadhowie> quinton: now we have to go back to ctrl+alt+f2, "/etc/init.d/gdm stop" and "sh NVIDIA*" and see if it can compile its own kernel interface
[12:16] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: GSynaptics couldn't initialize.
[12:16] <mikebot> You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics
[12:17] <AbuAnsar> what u mean?
[12:17] <mikebot> It says that when I open Touchpad in PRefs.
[12:17] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: stopped
[12:17] <AbuAnsar> mikebot: hold on a sec
[12:17] <Ltar> Veenified: oh shit. I changed the setting from "pop downloading is enabled" to "enable POP for ALL mail"
[12:17] <howlingmadhowie> quinton: by the way, when you're on the shell, you can use the arrow key to go up to a command you already entered once
[12:17] <jr_> when i followed the instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java it says "E: Couldn't find package sun-java5-jre
[12:17] <jr_> "
[12:17] <jr_> any help?
[12:17] <Veenified> Ltar: don't forward, try pop download instead
[12:18] <Kawika> jr_: what version of Ubuntu are you using?
[12:18] <jr_> erm 5.10? it says on the distro
[12:18] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: soooo sh NVIDIA* ?
[12:18] <Ltar> Veenified: yeah, that's the setting I just activated. Now it seems to be downloading all of my mail, like it should. thanks!
[12:18] <Veenified> Ltar: and then try these directions on how to setup thunderbird: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=38343
[12:18] <AbuAnsar> ok restart the X and it should work
[12:18] <AbuAnsar> mikebot: ok restart the X and it should work
[12:18] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: How do I do that?
[12:18] <howlingmadhowie> quinton: once you've stopped gdm, yes
[12:18] <Veenified> Ltar: no problem
[12:18] <jr_> if i remember breezy badger
[12:18] <mikebot> There is also something in Update Manager: `qsynaptics'
[12:18] <solo> hi gyus
[12:18] <AbuAnsar> mikebot Ctrl + Alt + Backspace
[12:19] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: it did the same thing
[12:19] <jr_> yeah ubuntu version 5.10
[12:19] <Kawika> jr_: ok, let me look.. hang on.
[12:19] <howlingmadhowie> quinton: if you wish, you can enter "sh NVI" and then hit the <tab> key before pressing enter
[12:19] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: OK, did that
[12:19] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton: okay, it still isn't finding the kernel sources
[12:19] <jr_> kawika: k thanks :) been awhile since iv ran ubuntu
[12:19] <AbuAnsar> mikebot very fast good :)
[12:19] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: But I still get the error

[12:20] <AbuAnsar> mikebot : what is the error?
[12:20] <brianherman> i got a problem i cant setup xfree on ubuntu-server
[12:20] <Kawika> jr_: try this link instead: http://www.cs.cornell.edu/~djm/ubuntu/index_breezy.htm#sun-java
[12:20] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: GSynaptics couldn't initialize.
[12:20] <mikebot> You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics
[12:21] <jr_> kawika: k thanks i will
[12:21] <Kawika> jr_: I've noticed that there are little quarks specific to each release.
[12:21] <brianherman> no
[12:21] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: nope
[12:21] <jr_> kawika: yes thats why i hate ubuntu :P
[12:21] <AbuAnsar> ok lets check
[12:21] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: cannot open: no such file or directory
[12:21] <howlingmadhowie> quinton: can you tell me what "ls" returns?
[12:21] <howlingmadhowie> quinton: and also "pwd"
[12:21] <Kawika> jr_: haha.  You should try Feisty.  I really like it.  Lots of improvements (at least from my limited perspective).
[12:22] <quest> hello all
[12:22] <solo> Oh thanks mate
[12:22] <Veenified> jr_: ya, i like feisty fawn
[12:22] <jr_> kawika: can i download it from the net?
[12:22] <raf256> why Ubuntu is so expensive? 70 euro
[12:22] <solo> forgot to look at there
[12:22] <rockets> What's the best way to custom compile 2.6.22 into Feisty?
[12:22] <rockets> Can I use the gutsy packages or the gutsy src packages?
[12:22] <ThanatosDrive> howlingmadhowie: Well you could always try the commands yourself, but 'ls' gives a directory listing.
[12:22] <quest> anyone use beryl on fiesty fawn?
[12:22] <howlingmadhowie> rockets: download the source and then role your own :)
[12:22] <Optimus55> quest: yep
[12:22] <solo> yes i do
[12:23] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: ls says linux headers 2.6.20-16 and the same but generic and linux-source-2.6.20.tar.bz2 is in red pwd shows root@ubuntu:/usr/src#
[12:23] <solo> a great thing
[12:23] <jr_> solo: http://xvidcap.sourceforge.net/
[12:23] <rockets> howlingmadhowie, ok. ill do that.
[12:23] <solo> Beryl is great
[12:23] <Jack_Sparrow> raf256: WHo is charging that for Ubuntu?

[12:23] <Jack_Sparrow> Ice_Wewe: Glad you got it..
[12:23] <brianherman> im charging -9 dollars for ubuntu
[12:23] <solo> wouldlike to make avi of you beryl ?
[12:23] <Ice_Wewe> Optimus55: O u sk8tr now

[12:24] <jr_> lol
[12:24] <Optimus55> lol
[12:24] <solo> lol
[12:24] <howlingmadhowie> quinton: oh, it's a bz2. try this: "bunzip2 linux-source*"
[12:24] <AbuAnsar> mikebot:  lets do it manually
[12:24] <solo> knew it
[12:24] <jr_> i just installed ubuntu on this :)
[12:24] <ThanatosDrive> brianherman: I'll take it.
[12:24] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: OK
[12:24] <AbuAnsar> mikebot: sudo apt-get install gsynaptics
[12:24] <raf256> so, does it have to be so expensive?   Moved to Feisty, and easy as cake.
[12:26] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: good. that's a good sign. you just unpacked your first bz2 archive :)
[12:26] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: woooo!!!!
[12:26] <Kawika> jr_: I'm not real clued in on what exactly the differences are.
[12:26] <Jack_Sparrow> jr_: That belongs in the discussion room not the support room
[12:26] <jr_> kawika: ahh :)
[12:26] <brianherman> well you've got a bounty on your head and jabba the hut is paying in Imperial Credits
[12:26] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: can you post the results of "ls" now?
[12:26] <|thunder> is this still the latest nvidia driver ? 100.14.09
[12:26] <jr_> jack_sparrows: ok sorry :)
[12:26] <solo> lol
[12:26] <solo> i know
[12:26] <jr_> jack_sparrow: ok sorry :)
[12:27] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[12:27] <JanWinnicki> earlier someone mentioned nmap for finding ip addresses of local network computers. but... how do i use it to find those ipeez? ;]
[12:27] <howlingmadhowie> jthunder: check on the nvidia website
[12:27] <solo> he s looking for my asses
[12:27] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: now theres one without tar.... in blue says linux-source-2.6.20
[12:27] <|thunder> Jack_Sparrow; do you play urban terror ?
[12:27] <slabby> How do I allow an account to have read+write access to /var/www  ??
[12:27] <jr_> kawika: :) thnx ill prolly try it out, how longs it take to install about? and does it automatically configure wifi cards? ones built into your laptop?
[12:27] <rockets> slabby, add that acocunt to the group associated with /var/www
[12:27] <Nick_Hill> JanWinnicki, There is a front end to Nmap. Also builds command syntax.   I've noticed people having issues getting various wifi cards to work.  I've not had time to experiement with them.
[12:28] <howlingmadhowie> rockets: if you're not using the cddrive but booting from a cd image on the harddrive it may well be faster :)
[12:28] <Nick_Hill> rockets, Must be limited by I/O latency. Virtualised take advantage of VM and caching
[12:28] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: and once more "ls" please
[12:28] <magnetron> FLeiXiuS: install the application DeVeDe
[12:28] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: OK, it's open.
[12:28] <jr_> kawika: hmm ok well thanks much again, i will most likely update in the future :)
[12:28] <JFr3ak> please, can somebody help me how setting services in Feisty please... i want see if a service is running or enable to run...
[12:29] <slabby> rockets, isnt that group root?
[12:29] <rockets> howlingmadhowie, yup im using an ISO on my hd, and the vmware image itself is running off of a secondary drive so it doesnt have to deal with my OS I/O
[12:29] <Kawika> jr_: sounds good.  enjoy...
[12:29] <rockets> slabby, could be
[12:29] <jr_> kawika: thanks i will :)
[12:29] <rockets> slabby, go to var, do ls -l|grep www
[12:29] <FLeiXiuS> magnetron, dvd would take forever to encode... I used to use winavi on windows, encoded in 45 mins ;-P
[12:29] <rockets> slabby, that will tell you the owner and group
[12:29] <FLeiXiuS> devede*
[12:29] <Veenified> howlingmadhowie: i'm having trouble finding anything, what are some keywords i should try using to search?
[12:29] <AbuAnsar> mikebot: scroll to:  Section "InputDevice"
[12:30] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: says the same thing as before header and header generic linux source and linux source tar
[12:30] <Veenified> howlingmadhowie: I'm talking about the nvidia screen resolution by the way
[12:30] <Kawika> JFr3ak: Did you try System->Administration->Services ?
[12:30] <octocore> woo i finally got my internet running after like a week of trying!
[12:30] <AbuAnsar> mikebot: can you see "Synaptics Touchpad" listed under  "Input Device" ?
[12:30] <slabby> rockerts, drwxr -xr -x 3 root 4096 2007-07-24 22:57 www
[12:30] <JFr3ak> Kawika, yes, but there is just a few, i think there isn't all ...
[12:30] <slabby> rockerts, drwxr -xr -x 3 root root 4096 2007-07-24 22:57 www
[12:31] <slabby> rockerts, has 2 roots not 1
[12:31] <Nick_Hill> Veenified, Erh. Nvidious. Got an Nvidia based mobo the other day. Filed bundles of bugs.
[12:31] <Kawika> jFr3ak: what about System Monitor? (in the same menu)
[12:31] <JFr3ak> Kawika, i want to see the file that have the services and if is necessary edit to enabled o disabled...
[12:31] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: OK
[12:31] <JFr3ak> Kawika, let me see...
[12:31] <slabby> rockerts, I cant add my ftp account to the root group can I? surely that wouldnt be safe
[12:31] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: This is all to make folders scroll to the right, right?
[12:31] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: is that good?
[12:31] <slabby> rockets, drwxr -xr -x 3 root root 4096 2007-07-24 22:57 www
[12:31] <AbuAnsar> yes
[12:31] <AbuAnsar> to the right and to the left
[12:31] <octocore> i just manually installed the drivers for my ethernet card to work, could anyone help me get my video card and sound working too?
[12:32] <slabby> rockets, I cant add my ftp account to the root group can I? surely that wouldnt be safe
[12:32] <rockets> slabby, heh. idk
[12:32] <Nick_Hill> Nvidia based motherboards are great to exercise your bug writing ability.
[12:32] <slabby> How do I allow an account to have read+write access to /var/www  ??
[12:32] <Veenified> Nick_Hill: i think its the one chipset that works best with linux though, not too many complaints...yet
[12:32] <DavidCraft> are there drivers dependent on the hard drive ubuntu boots from somewhere?
[12:32] <Nick_Hill> Veenified, Which one?
[12:33] <JFr3ak> Kawika, it isn't early, is something like init.d (i think so...)
[12:33] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: Yes.
[12:34] <johnny5> i finally have my resolution changed to the native for my monitor, but now app bar at the top of my screen is off the screen, i have to scroll up to make it visible? anyone know how to fix this?
[12:34] <howlingmadhowie> quinton_: there isn't an entry which just says "linux" ?
[12:34] <howlingmadhowie> Veenified: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=400035
[12:34] <Kawika> Veenified: Intel branded boards, while not the most cutting edge, seem to really install with limited problems.
[12:34] <Veenified> Nick_Hill: I have a nForce 590 SLI mobo and a e-Geoforce 7600 GT graphics card, the graphics card is sweet
[12:35] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: yes there is
[12:35] <rockets> I have a f*****g ATI card.  Video hardware won't re-init after STR - Nvidia keep initialisation process secret. Real time clock won't read/write and Northbridge sucks power/gets really hot.
[12:35] <Veenified> Kawika: Yea, I went AMD 64-bit
[12:36] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: cannot open
[12:36] <slabby> How do I give an account read+write access to /var/www  ??
[12:36] <howlingmadhowie> quinton: what does "pwd" say?
[12:36] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: Do I edit something here?
[12:36] <AbuAnsar> yes
[12:36] <Nick_Hill> Veenified, With NV NF590, can you suspend to ram, and recover, with free drivers?
[12:36] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: /usr/src#
[12:37] <AbuAnsar> add "SHMConfig"
[12:37] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__:  okay. enter "cd" just by itself and then give me "pwd" again
[12:37] <Veenified> Nick_Hill: I don't know much but I had a guy at Fry's help me build my computer, he was pretty knowledgeable
[12:37] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: Option        "SHMConfig"?
[12:37] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: /root... now try NVIDIA ?
[12:37] <Veenified> Nick_Hill: I havent tried

[12:39] <craigbass1976> Ok folks, on dapper dial up was working fine.  Now it's sporadic since upgrading to feisty.  Any ideas?  Keeps going back to pulse dialing and I want tone.  When it does dial up and not work, it just barely starts to screech the authentication string, then quits.  Other times it works.  If I reboot, it dials up on its own and is fine.  Restarting the network is also sporadic

[12:41] <octocore> i need help installing the drivers for my integrated intel gma3100 vidcard
[12:41] <mrpoundsign> haha, doh, I removed myself from my groups using usermod. I thought -G would add me to a given group, not re-write all my groups. So now I cannot sudo to root. Can I boot to the live CD and fix myself? What group(s) do I need to add myself to? Can I create a new admin user, remove then re-add myself as an admin user, or do I need to restore all my groups manually?
[12:41] <slabby> nick_hill, thanks
[12:41] <kohak> hello,
[12:41] <Nick_Hill> slabby, scratch that. chown www-data:www-data /var/www ...
[12:42] <professorchaos> So...just switched from XP to 7.04 and sound=no. Looked at relevant docs (DebuggingSoundProblems) and none of the suggestions helped.
[12:42] <Nick_Hill> slabby, then add the user to group www-data  .. as one way to do it.
[12:42] <Nick_Hill> slabby, there is no group www.
[12:42] <Kawika> aleksium: what kind of video card?

[12:43] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: its ok...

[12:44] <slabby> nick_hill, explain that 2nd way please... the account name is webftp
[12:44] <Kawika> aleksium: Is it a brand name system, or a clone build?
[12:44] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: how would i go about pasting this to you?
[12:44] <askand> Hi..I have a bashscript.. one of the variables is url=http://youtube.com/watch?v=P85LoHftEKs   Is there a way to cut the variable after "=" and get a new variable called  "P85LoHftEKs"?
[12:44] <mrpoundsign> astro76: thanks. :)
[12:44] <octocore> could anyone walk me through installing drivers for my video card?
[12:45] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: or even copying it?
[12:45] <ghostx> hey just installing gentoo, do i unpack the stage tarball to /mnt/gentoo ?
[12:45] <ThanatosDrive> Can anyone tell me why Counter-Strike always starts up in 800x640 and I always have to change it back to a higher resolution which results in CS getting frozen?
[12:45] <preaction> ghostx, this is #ubuntu, not #gentoo
[12:45] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: hang on. i've just done the same thing on my computer, and i realise than my light blue "linux" is pointing to dark blue "/usr/src/linux-headers..." and not to "/usr/src/linux-source..."

[12:46] <slabby> nick_hill, explain that 2nd way please... the account name is webftp
[12:46] <octocore> kawika: integrated intel gma3100
[12:46] <Kawika> aleksium: another way would be to pop off the cover and just look at the model of the motherboard.  Specs are easy enough to find after that.
[12:46] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: but im not on a graphical screen on my laptop....
[12:46] <ThanatosDrive> Are you kidding me! I got an error from Microsfot Visual C++ Runtime Library
[12:46] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: try the following "cd /usr/src" "rm linux" "ln -s linux-headers* /usr/src/linux"
[12:47] <apocalypti> i just got a drive that can use lightscribe. does anyone know a program that will write with lightscribe?
[12:47] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: oh, of course. you haven't yet activated the colours for the background consoles. don't worry about it. just try my commands i just gave you :)
[12:47] <ThanatosDrive> How do I kill a wine created application?
[12:48] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: didnt do anything
[12:48] <jmg> killall wine
[12:48] <jmg> xkill
[12:48] <vox754> howlingmadhowie, what are you trying to do? remove the linux headers
[12:48] <Nick_Hill> slabby, chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www ; chmod 775 /var/www ; usermod -a -G www-data webftp
[12:49] <howlingmadhowie> vox754: i was trying to get Quinton__to remove a symbolic link to the linux source code and replace it with a symbolic link to the headers
[12:49] <ThanatosDrive> jmg: Not working. Both didn't work.
[12:49] <Kawika> octocore: take a peek at this site: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=494943
[12:49] <ThanatosDrive> CounterStrike exits, the screen flashes, and Counter-Strike is back.
[12:49] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: now go back to "cd" and try "sh NVIDIA*" again...
[12:49] <Quinton__> cd
[12:49] <Quinton__> oh sorry
[12:49] <Nick_Hill> slabby, So you will be changing ownership of everything under /var/www to www-data. Then making www-data group writable (by members of www-data) then adding www-data as a supplementary group to webftp.
[12:50] <unagi> is it possible to have desktop icons automatically sit on the right side or to add menu items to the desktop menu?

[12:51] <unagi> not that menu

[12:52] <unagi> is it possible to have desktop icons automatically sit on the right side or to add menu items to the desktop menu?
[12:52] <Nick_Hill> vox754, I disabled all on-board hardware. Re-enabled until problem came back. Then disabled problem device, enabled everythign else.
[12:52] <vox754> wckdkl0wn, vcn or vnc?
[12:52] <wckdkl0wn> vnc sry
[12:52] <Nick_Hill> vox754, Found OHCI-HCD blocked system going to suspend.
[12:53] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: okay, i'm gonna try something here. try "apt-get install linux-headers-generic"
[12:53] <Nick_Hill> vox754, (USB host driver)
[12:53] <vox754> Nick_Hill, that's USB!
[12:54] <vox754> Nick_Hill, tried hibernate also?
[12:54] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: done and it said they were auto installed and no longer requiere libdecoration0
[12:54] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: and if this doesn't work, we're going to configure your router so i can get in from outside and install the driver for you
[12:54] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: auto installed or already installed?
[12:54] <Nick_Hill> vox754, However, neither on-board or add-in Nvidious video chipset would recover properly from STR. (Suspend To Ram).
[12:54] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: auto
[12:54] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: did it download anything?
[12:54] <gbw> hello, how can i tell ubuntu to automount if there is usb storage plugged in? i always have to do mount /dev/sd*, it is very unconvenient
[12:55] <Nick_Hill> vox754, That is, when using free driver. I have no intention of using non-free drivers.
[12:55] <vox754> wckdkl0wn, there is some terminal server client thing in the menu under internet
[12:55] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: quikly but yes
[12:55] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: good. now type "ls -l /usr/src" and tell me what "linux" is pointing at
[12:55] <m_> i've got the ubuntu desktop and bootscreen, but kubuntu log in screen. can anyone help me getting ubuntu login screen? i'm a newbie
[12:56] <aleksium> Kawika: If you havent found a solution yet... I think I can live without it... Installing Kubuntu right now... The KDE installer recognizes my monitor just fine
[12:56] <Kawika> aleksium: try reading this thread.  There are a couple other links within this thread.  Sounds like you need to get the video card driver resolved first, then graphics should get more "normal".
[12:56] <Nick_Hill> vox754, Apparently, according to Matthew Garrett on bug 121801, Nvidious don't give information necessary to re-initialise chipset. Done in card's BIOS which is disabled after booting.
[12:56] <KeeperOfTheSoul> I'm slightly confused as to the difference between beryl and compiz
[12:56] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: its on the top left corner and points to nothing... unless it color coordnated.... then linux-source-2.6.20.tar
[12:56] <Sensae> Hello
[12:56] <ThanatosDrive> m_: Bottom left corner, there should be a menu where you can choose the session you log into.
[12:56] <gbw> anyone can help me?
[12:57] <aleksium> Kawika: link??
[12:57] <jr_> kawika: if ur still here im downloading fiesty now :)
[12:57] <Sensae> Is anybody here familiar with Vnc and getting it to run in xinetd?
[12:57] <vox754> Nick_Hill, getting the video back is like the most important thing of coming back from a suspended state. So what now?
[12:57] <Kawika> aleksium: that would help huh??? :p  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=57430
[12:57] <Kawika> jr_: good job.  I think you will like it.
[12:57] <Sensae> I have vnc and xinetd installed, and I can launcher Xvnc manually, and then connect, but I'm having problems getting Xvnc to start it.
[12:57] <wckdkl0wn> how about connecting to a vpn?
[12:57] <ThanatosDrive> Screw this.
[12:58] <m_> ThanatosDrive: what do you mean? the login screen is kubuntu, but the desktop is ubuntu... i have both
[12:58] <Sensae> Also, I'm running XFCE and when I connect via vnc, it gives me the x11 screen without any wm or even xterms running
[12:58] <aleksium> GRACI
[12:58] <ThanatosDrive> WINE isuseless.
[12:58] <vox754> wckdkl0wn, isn't that some windows thingy?
[12:58] <unagi> ive found wine useful
[12:58] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: there should be an entry in the list you get when you enter "ls -l /usr/src" which looks something like: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 <recent date and time> linux -> <something>. can you tell me what the <something> is?
[12:58] <jr_> thanatosdrive: yes, it is
[12:58] <wckdkl0wn> vox754, yea.. buddy of mine told me to try to connect to his vpn.. gave me the ip, username, password, but wouldnt give me the port lol.. dared me to
[12:59] <Nick_Hill> vox754, I found that by using an add-in non-nvidia chipset, and removing OHCI-HCD, the machine will go into, and recover from STR. Where now? I have filed bugs. I don't know what else to do, apart from warn people off NVidia Chipsets, at least, until they start being more open.

[01:01] <Kawika> wckdkl0wn: wouldn't that be as simple as scanning the ports on that particular IP address?
[01:01] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: i've just had a rather ominous idea. can you give me the result of "uname -m"
[01:02] <ThanatosDrive> Guys, RhythmBox crashes on every attmept to play a song. ANy ideas?
[01:02] <m_> Sensae: thx
[01:02] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: under lrwxrwxrwx it says linux-headquarters*
[01:02] <wckdkl0wn> Kawika, yea but didnt find any ports... he is about 1000 miles away too lol so its not a network pc
[01:02] <slabby> nick_hill, wont let me create any files in there
[01:02] <Sensae> Is anyone familiar with vnc and xinetd?
[01:02] <Nick_Hill> slabby, can you su webftp?
[01:02] <tupa> how can I trim a file to return only the first 12 characters from every line in a file?, I think this could be done with sed, but I'm a little lost in the manual page
[01:03] <ThanatosDrive> Guys I have a HUGE problem. There is no sound.
[01:03] <Nick_Hill> As webftp, can you read/write to /var/www
[01:03] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: can you give me the result of "uname -m"?
[01:03] <ThanatosDrive> This is quite possibility the worst thing Ubuntu can do to me.
[01:03] <slabby> nick_hill, I can read but not write
[01:03] <slabby> nick_hill, if I sudo I can write
[01:03] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: i686
[01:04] <vox754> tupa, maybe you can use other scripting language like bash, perl, python or tcl
[01:04] <ThanatosDrive> Err, anyone?
[01:04] <ThanatosDrive> I can't get sound playing in Ubuntu, and any attempts to play it results in the program crashing.
[01:04] <vox754> !please > ThanatosDrive
[01:04] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: and the result of "ls /root" ? (i.e. the full name of the NVIDIA file you downloaded)
[01:04] <benzs_s> what's the easiest way to extract audio (.mp3) from a .flv video?
[01:05] <ThanatosDrive> benzs_s: I wuld say Audacity.
[01:05] <Nick_Hill> slabby, copy the contents of /etc/group and output of ls -lR /var/www and ls -ld /var/www to pastebin then give me link
[01:05] <Kawika> wckdkl0wn: also if he is daring you to connect, I'd assume he's moved from the normal ports.
[01:05] <tupa> vox754 and how would that help?, sed is a stream filter, I think it's easiear once you know how to do it, but manual pages don't help me very much :(
[01:05] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.11-pkg1.run
[01:05] <benzs_s> not sure audacity does it
[01:05] <ThanatosDrive> benzs_s: While it might not produce the best quality of sound, it's probably the quickest and least painful of ways.
[01:05] <unagi> is it possible to have desktop icons automatically sit on the right side or to add menu items to the desktop menu?
[01:05] <ThanatosDrive> benzs_s: Really? Just play the video and record the sound.
[01:05] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: okay, i was just checking it was the right version :)
[01:05] <slabby> nick_hill, ok
[01:05] <wckdkl0wn> Kawika,  yea more then likely... he said that if he told me the name of the program he used to creat his vpn that it would auto find the port i need for me
[01:06] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: yay, so now what do we do?
[01:06] <orbisvicis> chine
[01:06] <vox754> tupa, well a lot of people don't know sed but know how to do the same things with the mentioned languages
[01:06] <BadNewsBear> benzs_s: worest comes to worest you could play the .flv file while you record wav output from your audio card
[01:06] <ThanatosDrive> BadNewsBear: Isn't that roughly the same as using Audacity?
[01:06] <BadNewsBear> with Audacity I m ent
[01:06] <orbisvicis> anyone know how to get nxserver working ?
[01:06] <Nick_Hill> slabby, Also, consider looking at the rute tutorial. Gives a good into to unix file permissions. In the longer term, you'll want to understand them. http://rute.2038bug.com/rute.html.gz
[01:06] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: try the following "rm /usr/src/linux" and then "ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.20-16-generic /usr/src/linux"
[01:07] <Kawika> wckdkl0wn, Interesting.  I hate those kind of challenges, cause I feel obligated to try... haha
[01:07] <askand> Hi..I have a bashscript.. one of the variables is url=http://youtube.com/watch?v=P85LoHftEKs   Is there a way to cut the variable after "=" and get a new variable called  "P85LoHftEKs"?
[01:07] <Optimus55> can ubuntu natively play flv?
[01:07] <wckdkl0wn> Kawika, exactly lol.. now i just need to know how to connect to a vpn through linux
[01:07] <howlingmadhowie> Optimus55: gnash can play them pretty good nowadays, but it's difficult to install. vlc can play flv files and is in the repositories
[01:08] <bruenig> askand, NEWVAR="$(echo $url | awk -F= '{print $2}')"
[01:08] <Optimus55> ah okay
[01:08] <BadNewsBear> I would recommend vlc for .flv playback

[01:09] <evri2> i cannot go to any part of movie with vlc.It starts from beggining.I mean when i want to go 0:49 sec,entire movie starts again
[01:09] <evri2> vlc playing flv of course
[01:09] <rivel> anyone know where to go?
[01:09] <askand>  bruenig:  thanks ill try
[01:09] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: comes up with root@ubuntu for all of them
[01:09] <DavidCraft> hey none of the files in /proc are really there... so on a drive not being used (not running the booted system) it should be empty right?
[01:09] <BadNewsBear> evril2: I think that is a aspect of flv videos maybe independant of vlc playback
[01:10] <tupa> vox754, mmm, askand question is similar to mine :P
[01:10] <rivel> powerpc downloads? where are the images on the site
[01:10] <rivel> im getting the run around
[01:10] <vox754> rivel, the is no official port for power PC starting 7.04, so you'll need a previous version. Look for the 6.06 distribution I'm sure its in the download page.
[01:10] <rivel> oh ok thank you very much
[01:10] <rivel> i will try that
[01:11] <rivel> wait
[01:11] <vox754> tupa, well bruenig is the bash, awk master so you are lucky he is here
[01:11] <rivel> does the ISO also include installer packages for powerpc
[01:11] <rivel> ?
[01:11] <rivel> for version 6.06
[01:11] <vox754> !enter | rivel
[01:11] <ubotu> rivel: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[01:11] <bruenig> tupa, I just got here, I haven't seen yours
[01:11] <tupa> bruenig, I have a similar question to askand's. I have a text full of lines where I need the first 12 characters from every line, can you help me trim them?
[01:12] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: okay, let's see if that's helped. "cd" and "sh NVIDIA<tab>"
[01:13] <rivel> are the installer packages for powerpc included in the image of ubuntu 6.06?
[01:13] <jmad980> in gnome how do  you configure your graphics card?
[01:13] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: howlingmadhowie: do i have to put <tab> or a * ?
[01:13] <vox754> rivel, there are different isos, each for a single supported architecture, so yes.
[01:13] <ootm> can anyone tell me what the package name is for bridge utilities? I specifically want the brctl command but cant seem to find it
[01:13] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: just hit the tab-key after you've entered the first few letters.

[01:15] <slabby> nick_hill, line #24
[01:15] <aleksium> man finally stuff is working.. GREAT!
[01:15] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: "apt-get install ssh".
[01:15] <ghostx> jmad08, if so then get the nvidia-settings package, shuld have a nice gui frontend
[01:15] <jmad980> no
[01:15] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: how is the laptop connected to the internet?
[01:16] <Kawika> aleksium: did that fix your problem ?
[01:16] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: coord
[01:16] <bruenig> tupa, will that work? It will omit lines that don't have at least 12 characters, not sure if that will be a problem or not
[01:16] <jmad980> I want to Set up my accelerator
[01:16] <AbuAnsar> i downloaeded "bluez-libs" and exracted  on desctop, but i dont know how to install it ?
[01:16] <Nick_Hill> slabby, the usermod should add webftp to the www-data line in /etc/group. chmod -R www-data:www-data /var/www should change ownership of the folder www-data and everything below it.
[01:16] <howlingmadhowie> /pm Quinton__
[01:16] <cafuego> AbuAnsar: You don't download or extract it, you install it via synaptic.
[01:16] <vox754> rivel, here is a german mirror http://snert.mi.hs-heilbronn.de/pub/ubuntu/releases/6.10/
[01:17] <Nick_Hill> slabby, the chmod 775 /var/www makes the folder group-writable so other members of the www-data group can write to that folder.
[01:17] <AbuAnsar> cafuego: cant find "bluez-libs"in synaptics
[01:17] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: no such file or directory
[01:17] <testubu> is it even possible for ubuntu 7.04 to join a windows domain as a client?
[01:17] <rhkfin> Anyone know a software to recover files from a compact flash card, that have already once been overwritten?
[01:17] <AbuAnsar> cafuego: there is bluez-utils there though
[01:17] <slabby> nick_hill, right so am I doing something wrong or is there another reason the commands are not running?
[01:17] <ThanatosDrive> Hey, does anyone know how to fix sound problems with Ubuntu? Sound problems as in 'absence of sound.'
[01:17] <Linuxuser> Anyone here?
[01:17] <Kawika> rhkfin: if they have been overwritten once, the chances are significantly reduced.
[01:17] <cafuego> AbuAnsar: Coz it might be in there under another name, try searching for 'bluez'.
[01:18] <AbuAnsar> cafuego thx!
[01:18] <Nick_Hill> slabby, Try going to root sudo su then running each command in turn.
[01:18] <Kawika> testubu: you can use SMB to connect to Windows shares
[01:18] <slabby> nick_hill, "sudo su" ??
[01:18] <vox754> bruenig, I believe tupa wants to keep only the first 12 (or less) characters of every line. Not ignoring the line in any way.
[01:18] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: try it again: apt-get install ssh
[01:18] <kazukisan> Running Fiesty and i installed all the gstreamer packages and xine packages and win32codecs and restricted package and dvdcss2 but for some reason i still cannot play avi files or really any video file, i get errors like "Could not determine type of stream"
[01:18] <Nick_Hill> rhkfin, That depends. Has the whole card been re-written with new data?
[01:18] <Kawika> testubu: in feisty, Places->Connect to Server
[01:18] <Nick_Hill> slabby, Yes.
[01:19] <tupa> bruenig, it actually returns what I need, but tons of useless strings too
[01:19] <testubu> kawika: thank you!
[01:19] <Ryan44> org
[01:19] <rhkfin> Nick_Hill: Pretty much the whole card, yes..
[01:19] <Falstius> anyone know a linux tool for stressing a core2duo?  cpuburn doesn't really work for c2d (not stressful enough).
[01:19] <slabby> nick_hill, run all of them again?
[01:19] <bruenig> tupa, that is the first 12 characters of all lines that have twelve characters
[01:19] <saxin> what do I put in smb.conf to be able to find files shared without typing user/password?
[01:19] <Nick_Hill> slabby, that'll give you a root command prompt ending in # . You can then put commands in directly. When finished, type ctrl+d to log-out of root
[01:19] <bruenig> tupa, twelve or more characters*
[01:19] <Kawika> testubu: no problem.  I'm connecting to two shares on a Small Biz Server.
[01:19] <Linuxuser> Anyone help me out? i installed ubuntu on a dual boot system and i followed all the steps that i did on my own machine, and im on a friends machine trying to get it up, and im not getting a bootloader, and ive switched the boot priorties and its still not going? any suggestions?
[01:19] <ThanatosDrive> Hey, does anyone know how to fix sound problems with Ubuntu? Sound problems as in 'absence of sound.'
[01:20] <rhkfin> My image bank failed to save the files (or allocation table..) , so I'll possibly be able to restore the images from there. Any tools from that?
[01:20] <Nick_Hill> rhkfin, Then no. If only the file system pointers have been re-written there is a chance. If the data areas have been re-written, no chance.
[01:20] <bruenig> tupa, or wait, I think it might actually start over, so if a line has 25 characters, it will print the first twelve and then on another line print the next 12 and so on
[01:20] <Falstius> Linuxuser: reinstall the boot loader manually (it isn't difficult)
[01:20] <Linuxuser> Falstius, could you walk me through it?
[01:20] <vox754> ThanatosDrive, which card do you have? If it is a very specialized card most probably it won't work because there are no linux drivers for it.
[01:21] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: ?
[01:21] <ThanatosDrive> vox754: It's an integrated sound card on my intel mobo.
[01:21] <crsd36> hi, i'm having resolution problems on a fresh install of feisty does anyone have any tips

[01:21] <jmad980> intel
[01:21] <ThanatosDrive> jmad980: I think

[01:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about graphics - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:22] <Nick_Hill> rhkfin, Basically, if you have a 1G card with 1000 pics on there, if you delete the pics, there is a good chance of recovery. If you then write over the whole card with 1G data, the original data is lost ... forever.
[01:22] <tupa> bruenig, I'm pasting the result and the file so you can see

[01:22] <Nick_Hill> slabby, good. Can you see webftp next to www-data in /etc/group?
[01:22] <Falstius> Linuxuser: what?
[01:22] <crsd36> jmad its an ati mobility
[01:22] <Linuxuser> Falstius, would super grub fix it?
[01:22] <kazukisan> Running Fiesty and i installed all the gstreamer packages and xine packages and win32codecs and restricted package and dvdcss2 but for some reason i still cannot play avi files or really any video file, i get errors like "Could not determine type of stream"
[01:22] <vox754> !doesnt work > ThanatosDrive
[01:23] <Falstius> Linuxuser: never heard of super grub.
[01:23] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: just aim me?
[01:23] <Nick_Hill> !doesnt work | ThanatosDrive
[01:23] <ubotu> ThanatosDrive: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.
[01:23] <slabby> nick_hill, seems to have worked thanks
[01:24] <Nick_Hill> slabby, Great!
[01:24] <ThanatosDrive> vox754: Although if you want a step-by-step breakdown of what happened prior, I suppose that might help. 1.) I tried running CS via WINE. Failed. 2.) I tried running CS via WINE. Failed. 3.)  I tried running CS via WINE. Failed. 4.) This time the CS windows stayed up. And wouldn't die from xkill. So I 5.) Ctrl+Alt+BckSpce, which results now in all sound programs, crashing.
[01:24] <slabby> nick_hill, now one other thing, is it safe having this drive owned like this?
[01:24] <slabby> nick_hill, I mean directory when I say drive
[01:24] <rapid> why does my laptop occasionaly lose its ip i've assigned with ifconfig ??
[01:24] <vox754> ThanatosDrive, there you go! That is being specific.
[01:24] <Nick_Hill> slabby, It means Apache can write to the folder. But that isn't usually particularly unsafe.
[01:25] <crsd36> i'm stuck at 800x600 or 640x480 resolution
[01:25] <rayvd> howlingmadhowie: /query
[01:25] <ThanatosDrive> vox754: I've checked the cables, I've checked if it was muted, no dice. But I imagine if the problem were in the cables, the programs wouldn't be shutting down randomly.
[01:25] <Nick_Hill> crsd36, there is a bug for that.
[01:25] <slabby> nick_hill, how does what ive done give apache access?
[01:25] <tupa> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31480/ bruenig, done. as you can see in the paste, the result is unexpected
[01:25] <ThanatosDrive> Nick_Hill: I hope you mean solution, because I get that sometimes too.
[01:25] <Nick_Hill> crsd36, Try as root dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:25] <rapid> why does my laptop occasionaly lose its ip i've assigned with ifconfig ?? and i've got to reassign it with ifconfig
[01:26] <Baktaah> Excuse me, does anyone got a Intel Wireless 4965
[01:26] <rayvd> rapid: dhcp
[01:26] <vox754> rapid, issues with the driver, buggy driver, buggy software, power issues. That is it.  It is a tough thing to debug.
[01:26] <Nick_Hill> ThanatosDrive, ;-)
[01:26] <ThanatosDrive> crsd36: Add -phigh to the end of that statement (don't forget adding a space!) to skip directly to the video configs.
[01:26] <bruenig> tupa, you just want that first chunk of numbers and letters right?
[01:27] <tupa> bruenig, right
[01:27] <ThanatosDrive> vox754: So...no solution? Because I never needed a driver prior, to get sound. Oh yeah and MIDI doesn't work too.
[01:27] <rapid> ty
[01:27] <daan> I have a problem with Flash in Firefox. I installed a new soundcard and now I don't hear sound anymore in Flash video's and so on.
[01:27] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: can you give me your aim number?
[01:27] <ThanatosDrive> vox754: Just tested.
[01:27] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: you mean name and yeah, jetoninjinx
[01:28] <slabby> nick_hill, how does what ive done give apache access?
[01:28] <ThanatosDrive> vox754: Although in giving me the error, my PC emitted a 'beep'.
[01:28] <Nick_Hill> slabby, Apache runs as www-data. So if you give write access to www-data, apache, or processes run by apache can write to it.
[01:28] <rhkfin> Nick_Hill: Hmm.. I see that if it's been overwritten, recovery gets a lot more difficult. But how about the image bank. I saw it copying the images there, but later I wasn't able to find the files, so I suspect that it stopped (=didn't write the allocation table) because of low batteries.
[01:28] <vox754> ThanatosDrive, if it worked before then I have no clue. Maybe a corrupted thing. Remove wine and what not. Check launchpad for a bug report and ubuntuforums.org with you exact hardware.
[01:28] <slabby> nick_hill, ok thanks
[01:29] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: hang on, i haven't got aim, i've just got icq
[01:29] <lethologica> I am in Synaptic package manager, I want to install xubuntu-system-toools, it says in order to do that I need to remove ubuntu-desktop and gnome-desktop-tools, is this safe to do?
[01:29] <slabby> nick_hill, thanks alot for you help cya
[01:29] <supaneko> I'm having trouble with dual monitors in Feisty. Could somone please help me?
[01:29] <Nick_Hill> slabby, You're welcome!
[01:29] <bruenig> tupa, grep -o '^[0-9A-F] \{12\}' file
[01:29] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: alrighty
[01:30] <ThanatosDrive> vox754: Actually I'm thinking about just reinstalling WinXP. Problems are serious in Linux. Or, no. They aren't. As long as I don't a.) try to compose music or b.) play games, everything works fine. But since the said above take up about 90% of my computing time...
[01:30] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: may i reccomend pidgin? www.pidgin.im
[01:30] <Nick_Hill> rhkfin, If the files are really important, and have been written to media, bit not overwritten, there is a good chance of recovery. Whether that media is your hard drive or a pen drive.
[01:30] <evri2> Guys,Do you know how to configure Mplayer's Brightness,Saturation,Hue etc.?
[01:30] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: i already have gaim installed (and am using it atm), i just don't have an aim account
[01:30] <toad__> i have got audio but cannot get mic to work in skype
[01:30] <vox754> ThanatosDrive, yes, it all depends on hardware manufacturers. Send them a letter.
[01:30] <supaneko> Can anyone tell me how to move window from screen 0 to screen 1 (like, drag it from one monitor to the other). I can't seem to get it to work for me (if this is even possible).
[01:30] <Nick_Hill> rhkfin, I suppose there are utilities which can scan media for Jpeg headers then interpret file ends.
[01:30] <Nick_Hill> rhkfin, which will spit the results as jpegs.
[01:31] <amidaniel> ThanatosDrive: What's your problem?
[01:31] <Baktaah> Excuse me, does anyone got a Intel Wireless 4965
[01:31] <bruenig> how do you highlight something in the terminal via cli, like in most apps you can hold shift and move the arrows, but that won't work in the terminal, I am on the laptop and try to keep away from the touchpad as much as possible
[01:31] <wckdkl0wn> i installed vpn connection manager from this addy http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91249  but the icon is grey in my applications menu and wont open
[01:31] <ThanatosDrive> vox754: The way I see it, it's a vicious cycle. People don't use Linux because support is low, and support is low because people don't use Linux.
[01:31] <bruenig> Baktaah, ndiswrapper maybe is your only option
[01:31] <tschaub> can I configure synaptic package manager to search http://packages.debian.org/unstable ?
[01:31] <ThanatosDrive> amidaniel: Hang on, Let me find it from the above mess.
[01:31] <tupa> bruenig, done, thank you, one more question though
[01:32] <ThanatosDrive> amidaniel: My sound doesn't work. Although if you want a step-by-step breakdown of what happened prior, I suppose that might help. 1.) I tried running CS via WINE. Failed. 2.) I tried running CS via WINE. Failed. 3.)  I tried running CS via WINE. Failed. 4.) This time the CS windows stayed up. And wouldn't die from xkill. So I 5.) Ctrl+Alt+BckSpce, which results now in all sound programs, crashing.
[01:32] <vox754> bruenig, I guess you don't, you just yank and paste things like Ctrl+K or +U or +Y I forget.
[01:32] <Testtube> Hey guys what is the best way of completly uninstalling apache 2.2  in ubuntu 5.1?
[01:32] <kitche> bruenig:umm use the mouse to highlight that's the only way I know how to
[01:32] <tupa> what does the ^ simbol means after the first '
[01:32] <amidaniel> ThanatosDrive: Wine is very, very tricky business. What is CS?
[01:32] <Nick_Hill> Baktaah, try http://intellinuxwireless.org/
[01:32] <PriceChild> Testtube, breezy has reached EOL and is no longer supported.
[01:32] <bruenig> tupa, means the first of the line
[01:32] <PriceChild> Testtube, but sudo apt-get remove apache2
[01:32] <Truman_> Can anyone recommend any sort of video editing software for Ubuntu?
[01:32] <rhkfin> Nick_Hill: the media is a 2.5" hard drive. And the files are NEF files, not JPG:s so it makes it a bit more difficult.. (NEF = Nicon Raw)
[01:33] <bruenig> tupa, ^ is front of line, $ is end of line
[01:33] <Testtube> Super user apt-get remove apache2 should work though?
[01:33] <lethologica> I am in Synaptic package manager, I want to install xubuntu-system-toools, it says in order to do that I need to remove ubuntu-desktop and gnome-desktop-tools, is this safe to do?
[01:33] <ThanatosDrive> amidaniel: Counter-Strike, specifically, version 1.6, a popular First Person Shooter (FPS)
[01:33] <Nick_Hill> rhkfin, How important is it to recover them?
[01:33] <tupa> bruenig, so a $ would do a backwards matching or what?
[01:33] <Nick_Hill> rhkfin, Are we talking thousands of Dollars/Pounds?
[01:33] <bruenig> tupa, so if you wanted to find a line that only had the word stuff on it, the pattern would be '^stuff$'
[01:33] <amidaniel> ThanatosDrive: Ohh .. now I'm sure I know people who have gotten it working under wine. I'm sure there's a how-to somewhere
[01:34] <amidaniel> As I said though, wine is very finicky
[01:34] <Baktaah> Nick_Hill  I dont know how to install those
[01:34] <ThanatosDrive> bruenig: dw for delete word, d5w for delting 5 words, etc. I forget -.-
[01:34] <tupa> bruenig ahaaa, nice
[01:34] <Nick_Hill> Baktaah, Which ubuntu are you running?
[01:34] <rhkfin> Nick_Hill: No, only two days of holiday photos (volcano w. lava etc...). So would be nice to have them, if possible, but..
[01:34] <bruenig> ThanatosDrive, not vim, I mean on the prompt, or does that work?
[01:34] <ThanatosDrive> amidaniel: Yes, and I followed that How-To, ans ended up in this mess I am in here.
[01:34] <elmoj> hi everybody
[01:35] <ThanatosDrive> bruenig: It doesn't I just tried it.
[01:35] <osxdude|down> Okay, I am burning the alternate because even the live cd at the full speed of my drive (24x) isn't good enough to run it. Before the burn finishes, any help?
[01:35] <tupa> bruenig, and what if the chunk of numbers/letters I'm searching start from the let's say, 13th character?
[01:35] <akos> hello! Can anyone tell me what exactly is this, and why is it appearing? once or twice a day?
[01:35] <elmoj> can I ask you a question, please?
[01:35] <akos> http://www.pastebin.ca/635281
[01:35] <Baktaah> Nick_Hill feisty
[01:35] <ThanatosDrive> elmoj: Certainly but a response is not always required.
[01:35] <DavidCraft> hey Im copying my whole hard drive (with linux on it).  It throws a bunch of permission denied errors in the sys directory.  Why??
[01:35] <Nick_Hill> rhkfin, In that case, open sample raw files with hexedit. See if they have some identifiable start/end. Then point hexedit at your hard drive, search for strings.
[01:35] <ajax4> Hey guys, what command can I use to find the UUID of one of my hard drives?
[01:35] <elmoj> ok, i'll try: is large to explain, but i think, easy to you to solve it
[01:35] <askand> What command to check where I am?
[01:35] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: =]  almost?
[01:36] <bruenig> tupa, there are always more than one way to do something with regex, I would probably first strip the file of the first twelve characters and then go from there, that seems pretty simple
[01:36] <Nick_Hill> askand, pwd
[01:36] <PriceChild> ajax4, blkid
[01:36] <vox754> ajax4, "vol_id"
[01:36] <tilatweli> can anyone help me I want to add a user to the sudoers who can execute only one command and no password is required how do i do that?
[01:36] <ajax4> PriceChild: Thanks
[01:36] <askand>  Nick_Hill: thanks
[01:36] <osxdude|down> DavidCraft: What file system are you copying to?
[01:36] <ajax4> vox754: Thanks, I'll try both of those.
[01:36] <DavidCraft> ext3
[01:36] <vox754> ajax4, which do you think works best?
[01:36] <Nick_Hill> tilatweli, man sudoers
[01:36] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: just so I dont go through MASS trouble after you get nvidia to work would you be oh so kind to install and make beryl to work? I would really really appreciate it!
[01:37] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: i wish i could, but it's still very unsure that i'll manage to dial in to your system
[01:37] <amidaniel> ThanatosDrive: Well, I dunno .. I'm sure it can be done, but it's not an easy business. You might consider dual-booting; that's what I've been doing for quite some time now on my laptop. About 95% of what I do I can do under *nix, but then there are those sad moments when I need to *gasp* open visual studio
[01:37] <BoBothn> I need help with my hard drive. I bought a nice new 500 gig drive formated it with ext3 but when i go to the drive it says it only has 204.7 GB free space
[01:37] <j4ne> hi
[01:37] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: ohhh
[01:37] <DavidCraft> so why wont it copy?
[01:37] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: how come?
[01:37] <rhkfin> Nick_Hill: Thanks.. Does nano/kate work as a HEX editor? what would?
[01:37] <bruenig> !info ghex | rhkfin
[01:37] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: okay. to do this a number of things have to be configured.

[01:38] <BoBothn> Can some one please help me with my hard drive question
[01:38] <ThanatosDrive> amidaniel: I'm looking to jsut reinstall Ubuntu and WinXP. Although I'll need an incredibly detailed guide for it (with pictures because I'm such a retard), because the last three times I tried to dual-boot, I ended up erasing the WinXP partition. Or plain screwing up horribly.
[01:38] <elmoj> i buy a new usb usr5421, usr don't have drivers for linux and i use ndiswrapper; now it runs wells, but to turn on the usb i have to write this on the terminal, "sudo -s and sudo echo 1 > /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb1/1-4/bConfigurationValue, can i automatize this???? and the id of the usb is changing on any boot. Otherwise it would be great to load this on first, cause if not the gaim and other internet programs would tell me not to have cone
[01:38] <elmoj> ction... Ok, that all, thanks and sorry about my english; i'm from spain....
[01:38] <rhkfin> bruenig: using Kubuntu, but that'll help, thank you!
[01:38] <osxdude|down> DavidCraft: do these two commands in Terminal: << sudo chown -R marie:marie /storage>> and <<sudo chmod -R 755 /storage>> where "marie" is your user name and "/storage"
[01:38] <bruenig> !find hex
[01:39] <ubotu> Found: dssi-plugin-hexter, ghex, ghextris, hex, hexcat (and 9 others)

[01:39] <bruenig> !anyone | JHM910
[01:39] <ubotu> JHM910: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[01:39] <Nick_Hill> rhkfin, sudo sptitude install hexedit. At command line hexedit
[01:39] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: 1/ you need to find the ip-address of the network card in the laptop 2/ you need to edit the NAT tables of your router so as to forward incoming packets on port 22 to the ip address of your laptop. 3/ you have to install and activate the ssh-server.
[01:39] <Nick_Hill> rhkfin, sudo aptitude install hexedit.

[01:40] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: I dont know how to do any of that
[01:40] <kitche> Quinton__: you really shouldn't let people ssh into your system that you don't know
[01:40] <Azerias> hi
[01:40] <elmoj> i try it but nobody knows o answer my question :P
[01:40] <rhkfin> Nick_Hill: thanks1
[01:40] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: exactly. and i can't really help you with any of it :(
[01:40] <soulrider> BoBothn:  what kind of drive? check the jumper settings
[01:40] <bruenig> sshing into systems would be so much easier
[01:40] <Azerias> how can I get a list of ALL commands I have entered into the shell?
[01:40] <bruenig> Azerias, history
[01:40] <JHM910> lol okay, well, im learning a bit of a programming but all i use are IDE's on windows, how do i compile, build and run programs on linux/ubuntu?
[01:40] <ThanatosDrive> amidaniel: I'm kinda disappointing in Ubuntu actually =/ I thought it'd be more stable.
[01:41] <BoBothn> soulrider it is a sata drive and gpart displays it as the right size
[01:41] <kitche> bruenig: true but can be dangerous also
[01:41] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: .... linux made themselves free becauase you do more then bill gates did to make it work ><;
[01:41] <vox754> elmoj, well seems easy to do with a shell script called every time in startup
[01:41] <bruenig> !compile | JHM910
[01:41] <ubotu> JHM910: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[01:41] <vox754> !init > elmoj
[01:41] <soulrider> BoBothn: uhm.. weird...
[01:41] <soulrider> BoBothn: no idea really
[01:41] <Azerias> bruenig, where is that history?
[01:41] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: maybe automatix?
[01:41] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: if you can wait long enough, the new version of the nvidia driver will soon be a standard package you can download and install using synaptic.
[01:41] <roger> is there a feature that works like "cleartype" in windows ?
[01:41] <bruenig> kitche, yeah I certainly wouldn't let someone do that to me, but on the helper end...
[01:41] <bruenig> Azerias, just type history
[01:41] <soulrider> Azerias: .bashhistory i think
[01:41] <elmoj> can you explain me please? i'm newbie on this.. .and is possibly to load it before "all"
[01:41] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: can i have eye candies until then?
[01:41] <elmoj> ?
[01:41] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: yeah, you can try automatix of course. i've never use it myself :(
[01:41] <Azerias> bruenig, there is a shell (konsole??) in "kate" and one normal shell to start ... are they all the same?
[01:41] <PriceChild> !automatix | howlingmadhowie Quinton__
[01:41] <ubotu> howlingmadhowie Quinton__: Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[01:42] <soulrider> Quinton__: i have an nvidia card, its not hard to install the nvidia driver
[01:42] <soulrider> especially not in ubuntu
[01:42] <bruenig> Azerias, should be
[01:42] <Quinton__> coulrider: ?
[01:42] <Quinton__> soulrider: mines not working?
[01:42] <soulrider> Quinton__: you install the nvidia-glx package ?
[01:42] <BoBothn> Help Please with my hard drive. I bought a nice new 500 gig drive formated it with ext3 but when i go to the drive it says it only has 204.7 GB free space
[01:42] <DavidCraft> alright better, now I just get a bunch (though much less) input/output errors
[01:42] <elmoj> Quinton__, envy software solves my problem with nvidia drivers
[01:42] <Azerias> thank you bruenig
[01:42] <Azerias> thank you soulrider
[01:42] <Azerias> bye bye,  see you soon!
[01:43] <Nick_Hill> Goodnight all!
[01:43] <Quinton__> soulrider: i think....
[01:43] <BadNewsBear> good night
[01:43] <amidaniel> Quinton__: What's the problem with it?
[01:43] <vox754> elmoj, I haven't done it but check out the links ubotu gave you. There is a private message.
[01:43] <JHM910> how do you program on ubuntu, im used to all these IDEs on windows?
[01:43] <Quinton__> amidaniel: wont install
[01:43] <soulrider> Quinton__: just do this, "sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx"
[01:43] <amidaniel> Quinton__: The driver?
[01:43] <DavidCraft> osxdude|down: its better thanks, now I just get some input/output errors
[01:43] <howlingmadhowie> soulrider: he did, but he has an 8400 which isn't supported in the current nvidia-glx package, so he downloaded the driver from nvidia.org and tried to compile it himself. it refuses however to find the kernel-header-sources
[01:43] <soulrider> and then edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change "nv" to "nvidia" in the driver section
[01:43] <axos88> hello! Can anyone tell me what exactly is this, and why is it appearing? once or twice a day?  http://www.pastebin.ca/635281
[01:43] <self> I want to set up Ubuntu server on an old P3 box and use it as a server and open-compile-box (don't ask ;) ) and wonder how I can install Ubuntu server on there without a monitor, perhaps some sort of book disk with ssh preloaded so I can install remotely?
[01:43] <rhkfin> How to open a disk (not a file) in ghex?
[01:44] <elmoj> ok, i'll check, i return to explain you!
[01:44] <elmoj> thanks a lot to everybody
[01:44] <soulrider> howlingmadhowie, Quinton__  im almost sure there are legacy packages for the drivers
[01:44] <weaselhawk> i have been trying to get a remote control working on mythtv in ubuntu for like 2 years now
[01:44] <BoBothn> Help Please with my hard drive. I bought a nice new 500 gig drive formated it with ext3 but when i go to the drive it says it only has 204.7 GB free space
[01:44] <howlingmadhowie> soulrider: i'm just going by the threads on ubuntuforums.org. i don't have an 8400 myself.
[01:44] <Testtube> PriceChild I have ~11,000 production units running ubuntu 5.10 We are going to be removing apache2 from the units loggin in as the super user and running the command  apt-get remove apache2 should do the trick?
[01:44] <amidaniel> BoBothn: Did you partition the entire drive?
[01:44] <Quinton__> soulrider: permission denied
[01:44] <BoBothn> yes
[01:45] <weaselhawk> i know at least 20 people that want mythtv but i have never even heard of a working remote control
[01:45] <BoBothn> amidaniel, Yes and gpart recognized it all
[01:45] <soulrider> Quinton__: you need to edit it as root, aka with sudo, but dont do it if you ahve a legacy card
[01:45] <JHM910> total newbie to linux, how does one go about programming/using c++ on linux...
[01:45] <PriceChild> Testtube, that will remove most of it yes... it won't remove configuration files.
[01:45] <soulrider> hold on a sec Quinton__ dont touch anything yet
[01:45] <Quinton__> soulrider: uhm sure...
[01:45] <soulrider> JHM910: you can get an IDE or just program in a text editor, then compile with g++
[01:45] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: maybe hes on to something?
[01:45] <PriceChild> Testtube, Please remember breezy has reached EOL... you aren't getting security updates etc.
[01:45] <ThanatosDrive> vox754, you there?
[01:45] <NixMan> weaselhawk: what does one use mythtv for? I think i know, but I'm not sure. Mind explaining briefly?
[01:45] <soulrider> JHM910: you should install the apckage called "build-essential"
[01:45] <Testtube> PriceChild: Can you invision any complications from doing so?
[01:46] <vox754> BoBothn, are you sure the drive is correctly detected in the BIOS. Some drives allow to limit the size of the hard drive with jumpers.
[01:46] <PriceChild> Testtube, none of the machines will run a web server... only complication :P Make sure you test it, ensure none of your in-house apps depend on it and you suddenly realise :)
[01:46] <Folko> Hi..  When I try to remove the l2cap kernel module, I get "device is in use". How do I fix this without a reboot?
[01:46] <BoBothn> vox754, Ubuntu can see the hole drive tho
[01:46] <elmoj> vox754, sorry I'm trying but how can I know what is the usb id every boot? in the command sudo echo 1 > /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb1/1-4/bConfigurationValue the usb1 can be 2 and the 1-4 can be everything i think
[01:46] <Testtube> PriceChild: Unfortunatly with the way we have things setup upgrading to newer versions (however planned) is not easy. these units happen to be at 11,000 different locations
[01:46] <JHM910> soulrider: you see, thats the problem, i dont know too much about the linux terminal, im not too sure how to compile these programs and make them into files
[01:47] <orbisvicis> !ssh
[01:47] <ubotu> SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[01:47] <soulrider> Quinton__: yours is an old card, yeah ?
[01:47] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: you can try it. you will however have to remove the entries we added to /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common before it works
[01:47] <soulrider> JHM910: install a package you mean or something you made ?
[01:47] <vox754> BoBothn, then what can't?
[01:47] <Testtube> Pricechild: Of course :P Plan on doing it to several demo machines first.
[01:47] <howlingmadhowie> soulrider: it's brand new and not supported by the current driver in the repositories
[01:47] <Quinton__> soulrider: sony vaio vgn-ar520e
[01:47] <soulrider> oh, i thought it was legacy
[01:47] <ThanatosDrive> vox754: What do you mean by launchpad?
[01:47] <soulrider> whata bout the nvidia-glx-new package ?
[01:47] <JHM910> something i made, like for instance a simple hello world program
[01:47] <rhkfin> To open a disk in hex editor, do I actually open the device and not the mounted directory?
[01:47] <ThanatosDrive> vox754: As in this message: ThanatosDrive, if it worked before then I have no clue. Maybe a corrupted thing. Remove wine and what not. Check launchpad for a bug report and ubuntuforums.org with you exact hardware.
[01:47] <Ubunnted> Hello! : )
[01:47] <BoBothn> vox754, when i go to propertys it says their is only 204.7 gb free
[01:47] <Testtube> Apache2 should never had been installed in the first place some how it made its way on the Image.
[01:48] <Falstius> JHM910: there are several IDEs .. anjuta, kdevelop, eclipse, etc.  But using a text editor and g++ is not hard for simple programs.
[01:48] <soulrider> JHM910: ok, you got g++ installed ?
[01:48] <vox754> elmoj, then you can use I guess a script with /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb?/1-4/   where the question mark is any character, yes that is right
[01:48] <JHM910> yes g++ is intsalled, that i made sure of
[01:48] <ThanatosDrive> vox754: Actually I'm going to just try rebooting. It usually fixes problems in Windows. Maybe it'll work here. BRB.
[01:48] <soulrider> ok JHM910, open a terminal and cd into the directory containing the source
[01:48] <unagi> is it possible to arrange desktop icons by type instead of name?
[01:48] <Folko> Rebooting would fix my problem, but I can't..
[01:48] <soulrider> JHM910:  then do: g++ * -o <name of output file>
[01:48] <Ubunnted> Does anyone know why on a fresh Unbuntu install the hard drive is working non-stop?
[01:49] <elmoj> vox754, ohhhh perfect, and how can i do sudo -s and don't ask me for the password???? sorry for annoying you
[01:49] <Prophezy> Il try here
[01:49] <JHM910> quick noob question again, the extension of my written program is .cpp? correct?
[01:49] <Folko> Ubunnted: Maybe updatedb is running
[01:49] <Falstius> JHM910: .cpp works (as do a few others)
[01:49] <Prophezy> Hi, is there any Ubuntu &Kubuntu Guru in here that can help me to solve my adept manager problem?
[01:49] <soulrider> elmoj: it didnt ask you? when you do sudo it gives you the powers for like 15 minutes i think
[01:49] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: okay, let's change back the entry in /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common and try the nvidia-glx-new package
[01:49] <JHM910> okay in the directory
[01:50] <vox754> elmoj, I'm not totally sure. But I think you need to place the script in one of those init.d folders so it gets run with appropriate root access upon start up.
[01:50] <soulrider> JHM910: cd into the dir and do:   g++ *.cpp -o <name of output executable>
[01:50] <elmoj> soulrider, if it's in boot i guess it ask me for password, isn't it?
[01:50] <Falstius> JHM910: If you have a file called hello.cpp, you can do 'make hello' and you'll get an executable called hello
[01:50] <Ubunnted> Folko: I've never known 'updatedb' to run for over two hours.
[01:50] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: I will brb my father needs my help... i am so sorry... I will message you as soon as i can and soon
[01:50] <Folko> Ubunnted: Install and run atop, it displays which program is using the HDD
[01:50] <elmoj> vox754, ok, i'll try, i'm gonna restart to prove it
[01:50] <jtd> can someone give me a hand with the Restricted Drivers Manager?  I installed from the server CD and apparently it's installed a "server kernel."  When I go to use the RDM it tells me I need to install linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-16-server, which doesn't exist.  So I'm trying to install a kernel that DOES have restricted module support compiled in, but the only option I can find in apt-cache search is linux-generic.  I have an Athl
[01:50] <JHM910> okay it made a file called a.out
[01:50] <elmoj> thanks for all, i return in 5 minuts
[01:50] <jbrown> #drupal-support
[01:50] <holychico>  Is it possible to reorder itens in gnome window list?
[01:51] <PriceChild> jtd, ath....
[01:51] <soulrider> JHM910: now do:      ./a.out
[01:51] <soulrider> that tells the terminal to run a.out whoch is in the currest directory
[01:51] <jtd> PriceChild: Yes?
[01:51] <JHM910> okay got that, now how do i make it into a executable file?
[01:51] <soulrider> if you just did a.out it would look for it in /bin/
[01:51] <Ubunnted> Folko: I've done that and I haven't yet been able to nail down what's doing it.
[01:51] <soulrider> JHM910: thats executable
[01:51] <PriceChild> jtd, did your message get cut off?
[01:51] <jtd> oh, crap
[01:51] <orbisvicis> why do i get this: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start
[01:51] <orbisvicis>  * Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server...                                                                                [ OK ]
[01:51] <orbisvicis>  * OpenBSD Secure Shell server not in use (/etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run)?
[01:51] <JHM910> err what was falstiu talking about?
[01:52] <jtd> Will this "generic" kernel  include optimizations for my k7 chip?
[01:52] <soulrider> JHM910: executables here dont really have ane xtension, extensions are not really used in linux, it actually looks atthe content of the file
[01:52] <orbisvicis> my bad ... supposed to be 3 lines
[01:52] <Falstius> JHM910: just an alternate way of doing things.
[01:52] <JHM910> falstius**
[01:52] <vox754> JHM910, soulrider you can discuss all your programming knowledge in #ubuntu-programming Please feel free to go there if you feel this channel is too crowded.
[01:53] <ThanatosDrive> amidaniel, vox754: Absurd. Rebooting fixed it. I feel like kicking myself.
[01:53] <vox754> ThanatosDrive, rebooting is always a good thing before coming into irc. I'm serious
[01:53] <wckdkl0wn> how would i find the open ports on an ip address?
[01:53] <vox754> !launchpad | ThanatosDrive
[01:53] <ubotu> ThanatosDrive: launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's Bounty and Bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/
[01:53] <Folko> wckdkl0wn: netstat -a | grep tcp | grep LIST
[01:53] <Ubunnted> Folko: Top normally brings programs running the most CPU to the top, but I'll bet I'm not using it right.
[01:53] <howlingmadhowie> JHM910: that is to say, a file has an executable flag. as long as the flag is set, the shell will try to treat it as an executable
[01:53] <savethePool> wckdkl0wn: use nmap (Carefully!)
[01:53] <ThanatosDrive> vox754: I had hoped Ubuntu had better stability than that, but, oh well.
[01:53] <Folko> Ubunnted: not top, atop - It's a different program
[01:54] <vox754> ThanatosDrive, that was not stability, that was windows, that is wine
[01:54] <Ubunnted> Folko: Or I've neglected an option...
[01:54] <wckdkl0wn> Folko, not of my ip address but an outside ip... buddy of mine challeneged me to connect to his vpn.. gave me everything i need to connect except the port number
[01:54] <ThanatosDrive> vox754: How can I remove...nevermind. Google'll tell me.
[01:54] <Ubunnted> Folko: OH! Let me try.
[01:54] <Ubunnted> Folko: Let me try...
[01:54] <vox754> ThanatosDrive, that's the spirit!
[01:54] <Folko> wckdkl0wn: Install nmap, it's a port scanner
[01:55] <enzo_> Is any one here good at calculus?
[01:56] <enzo_> I have a math question
[01:56] <howlingmadhowie> enzo_: offtopic, but i get by
[01:56] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: back
[01:56] <vox754> ThanatosDrive, the forums, ubuntuforums.org already have tons of tutorials and tips from previous users. Invaluable source for fresh documentation.
[01:56] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: now what do we do?
[01:56] <jtd> can someone give me a hand with the Restricted Drivers Manager?  I installed from the server CD and apparently it's installed a "server kernel."  When I go to use the RDM it tells me I need to install linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-16-server, which doesn't exist.

[01:56] <BoBothn> soulrider amidaniel vox754 ty all for your help.   I installed from the server CD and apparently it's installed a "server kernel."  When I go to use the RDM it tells me I need to install linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-16-server, which doesn't exist.

[01:56] <Mnabil> enzo_, off topic
[01:56] <jtd> oops.
[01:57] <jtd> didn't mean to do that.
[01:57] <Ubunnted> Folko: 'atop' seems to be very much like 'top'...
[01:57] <PriceChild> jtd, you have an ath? You never answered me
[01:57] <wckdkl0wn> Folko, Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes, try -P0
[01:57] <vox754> BoBothn, good. I guess you have a lot of space then, That is good.
[01:57] <self> Noone knows how to do 100% headless from install thru?
[01:57] <zerokill88> anyone know how or have a link to create your own custom gtk or metacity themes?
[01:57] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: okay. "nano -w /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common"
[01:57] <Folko> Ubunnted: With the difference that it displays programs by drive usage. You need to run it as root (sudo) and then wait a few seconds
[01:57] <jtd> yes.  I thought you meant that it was cut off at "I have an Ath"
[01:57] <zendo> Hi. Does someone knows of some progamming text editor, that has key bindings as Emacs, but that does'nt require learning new, separate programming language only for setting its features?
[01:57] <Folko> wckdkl0wn: Then use -P0 :)
[01:58] <PriceChild> jtd, what is an ath?
[01:58] <wckdkl0wn> Folko, so it would be nmap -P0 then ip?
[01:58] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: now ?
[01:58] <soulrider> BoBothn: LOL
[01:58] <Folko> wckdkl0wn: Right
[01:58] <kahrytan> Anyone know how to turn off Apache2 automatic start on startup?
[01:58] <elmoj> hi another time
[01:58] <jtd> Athlon.  I typed Athlon originally
[01:58] <jtd> 1.4 GHz Thunderbird.
[01:58] <jtd> it was getting cut off.
[01:58] <kazukisan> okay ive installed every stupid codec known and i still cant play avi files or .bin movies any suggestions, please tab my name if you speak to me.
[01:58] <jtd> but I can't see it getting cut off.
[01:58] <wckdkl0wn> Folko, ok just did that and now its doing something but its flashing hte curser lol
[01:58] <lethologica> Ok, so I am using System > Administration > Shared folders to share a folder. When I goto the unc path on a windows box (\\machinename\shareName) it prompts me for a user and pass,  I enter my ubuntu user and pass and it doesn't accept it. Any ideas?
[01:59] <Folko> wckdkl0wn: I could take a while, it's testing all ports in /etc/services
[01:59] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: remove the entries from DISABLED_MODULES, save with ctrl-O and close with ctrl-X
[01:59] <elmoj> vox754, i prove to put this: sudo -s
[01:59] <elmoj> sudo echo 1 > /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb?/?-?/bConfigurationValue on /etc/rc.local but nothing seems to happened... what's wrong?
[02:00] <keith4_> is there a net-bootable ubuntu installer?
[02:00] <wckdkl0wn> Folko, ok
[02:00] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: there is no entry like that all it says is GNU nan 2.0.2 file: / etc/default/ linux restricted etc. and thats all
[02:00] <jtd> PriceChild: do you know if what was originally in linux-k7 is included in linux-generic, or are you just pointing out the fact that my question got cut off?
[02:00] <vox754> elmoj, I'm not sure. Try browsing the forums for more information. I believe you have read the link of ubotu.
[02:00] <kazukisan> is anyone have trouble with lockups in fiesty?
[02:01] <kahrytan> Anyone know how to turn off Apache2 automatic start on startup?
[02:01] <netjunk1e> lethologica: check you PM
[02:01] <PriceChild> jtd, If you want help... then answer people's questions about your situation.
[02:01] <Ex-Cyber> zendo: there are a bunch of emacs-like editors that don't use elisp, but usually at the cost of configurability... the names that come to mind for me are mg and qemacs, but you might try searching for "emacs" in the package manager and enable searching in descriptions
[02:01] <vox754> jtd, why did you install from the server CD, they aren't mean to play movies and stuff.
[02:01] <DavidCraft> ls
[02:01] <kazukisan> okay ive installed every stupid codec known and i still cant play avi files or .bin movies any suggestions, please tab my name if you speak to me.
[02:01] <PriceChild> jtd, the -generic kernel loads optimisations on the fly - smp, athlon etc. etc.
[02:01] <DavidCraft> oops sorry
[02:01] <pliz> Hi guys! How do I choose which locale needs to be compiled by locale-gen? when I run dpkg-reconfigure it just recompiles what was there already
[02:01] <jtd> PriceChild: I did.  Three times.
[02:01] <elmoj> vox754, ok, i'll investigate and tell you the results; thanks
[02:01] <jtd> vox754: Because I wanted to keep the installation as minimal as I could originally
[02:01] <UnluckyMike> quick question what is the file that stores your apt-get history?
[02:01] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: nano -w /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common
[02:01] <PriceChild> jtd, please address me using my nick or I miss them and get annoyed and look silly :)
[02:02] <jtd> vox754: Why is there a -server kernel in the first place?
[02:02] <lethologica> netjunk1e, I don't see a PM
[02:02] <Folko> UnluckyMike: /var/log/dpkg.log
[02:02] <netjunk1e> lethologica: do you have samba installed on your ubuntu box?
[02:02] <UnluckyMike> Folko, thanks
[02:02] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: and do what to it?
[02:02] <lethologica> netjunk1e: Yes
[02:02] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: thats all it shows
[02:02] <vox754> jtd, I guess it is tailored for servers. You are supposed to use the normal desktop install. So well, maybe Ubuntu is not what you wanted.
[02:03] <Folko> Ubunnted: Any progress with atop?
[02:03] <kazukisan> okay ive installed every stupid codec known and i still cant play avi files or .bin movies any suggestions, please tab my name if you speak to me.
[02:03] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: let's start the xserver and the you can paste it in pastebin
[02:03] <PriceChild> vox754, it will have optimisations for those not using guis and using certain server apps I guess
[02:03] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: "/etc/init.d/gdm start"
[02:03] <tupa> kazukisan, what software are you trying to play videos?
[02:03] <jtd> "maybe Ubuntu is not what you wanted"
[02:03] <kazukisan> tupa: ive tried movie player, gxine, and vlc
[02:03] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: theres nothing to paste... nothings there
[02:03] <jtd> I've been using Ubuntu for 3 years
[02:03] <zendo> Ex-Cyber: I've searched package list already and as clones only "zile", "qemacs" and partialy "jed" appeared. "Zile" doesn't support syntax highlighting, "QEmacs" is out of development and has one nasty "bug" that returns the cursor at the begginig of the line when it encounters ";" or "("?
[02:04] <kahrytan> Anyone know how to turn off Apache2 automatic start on startup?
[02:04] <jtd> this -server kernel thing is new
[02:04] <IndyGunFreak> kazukisan: well, i'd guess you didn't install them correctly, if you still can't view avi's
[02:04] <vox754> jtd, you could have mentioned that earlier.. ha ha
[02:04] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: that's because you entered the name wrongly. nano -w linux-restricted-modules-common
[02:04] <PriceChild> jtd, it will have optimisations for those not using guis and using certain server apps I guess
[02:04] <tupa> kahrytan, probably removing the script on init?
[02:04] <wckdkl0wn> Folko, it finished but All 1697 scanned ports on ******** (*.*.*.*) are filtered
[02:04] <vox754> jtd, since which version you noted that, 7.04?
[02:04] <kahrytan> tupa: I moved on. I went to #apache
[02:04] <tupa> kazukisan, did you tried changing the driver in mplayer?
[02:04] <Folko> wckdkl0wn: Maybe the VPN uses UDP, that can't easily be scanned
[02:05] <kazukisan> tupa, let me try that
[02:05] <jtd> vox754: I think so.  I haven't installed a 6.10 server image so I can't speak to that, but I don't believe it was in 6.04
[02:05] <kahrytan> tupa: i think I found it
[02:05] <netjunk1e> lethologica: have you tried the guide at ubuntuguide.org for sharing with smb?
[02:05] <tupa> kahrytan did you know scripts in /etc/init.d start when booting up?
[02:06] <vox754> tupa, every single script, as root?
[02:06] <kazukisan> tupa, where do you change the driver with Totem Movie Player?
[02:06] <Elm0> sexyleute.de
[02:06] <royel> jtd: there was a 6.04 release?
[02:06] <Ex-Cyber> zendo: tried mg? it's kind of a "minimal emacs" clone... not sure whether it has syntax highlighting
[02:06] <madman91> where can i talk about the init modes.. maybe they are called process ID's ? (i.e. init 1 , init 2 , and so forth) .. ?
[02:06] <jtd> royel: whatever Dapper was
[02:06] <madman91> not talk.. sorry .. read
[02:06] <jtd> I've installed a server with Dapper
[02:06] <IndyGunFreak> kazukisan: in numerous ubuntu installs, codec installs,e tc, i've NEVER had to change the driver to make avi's work with various media players.
[02:06] <lethologica> netjunk1e: I didn't know one was there, I am looking it up now
[02:06] <jtd> not Edgy
[02:07] <vox754> !info linux-image-server dapper | jtd
[02:07] <ubotu> jtd: linux-image-server: Linux kernel image on Server Equipment.. In component main, is optional. Version <IP_ADDRESS> (dapper), package size 22 kB, installed size 52 kB
[02:07] <kahrytan> What is init.d?
[02:07] <howlingmadhowie> madman91: nope runlevels have nothing to do with pids :)
[02:07] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: im not on a root to type that
[02:07] <Ex-Cyber> zendo: oddly enough the package description for mg has a list of "editors with broadly similar goals"
[02:07] <madman91> howlingmadhowie: i need to read up then.. so next time someone enters i can tell them off :)
[02:07] <jtd> well, the restricted drivers manager is certainly new in Feisty
[02:07] <pablo-uy-mvd> hi who do i enable remote autologin in gdm (im using ubuntu 7.04). i need each terminal to autolog users binded to each terminal. can gdm do that? i guess mac addresses must be involved in the solution o r maybe kdm can do the work?
[02:07] <mikebot> Is there a way to `alt-tab' in ubuntu?
[02:07] <madman91> mikebot: alt-tab
[02:07] <PriceChild> mikebot, yes
[02:07] <Ex-Cyber> mikebot: exactly so
[02:07] <PriceChild> mikebot, hold alt, then press the tab key
[02:07] <kazukisan> IndyGunFreak, ? well whats your suggestions, ive installed w32codecs twice and all gstreamers twice and ubuntu restricted package, i even tried the xine packages
[02:07] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[02:07] <jtd> you used to have to go through a manual process to install nvidia
[02:08] <mikebot> In Battle for Wesnoth it doesn't work
[02:08] <IndyGunFreak> kazukisan: something is missing obviously
[02:08] <mikebot> ANyone know how to do it form inside that game?
[02:08] <kazukisan> IndyGunFreak, well suggestions
[02:08] <Ex-Cyber> mikebot: is it running fullscreen?
[02:08] <vox754> kazukisan, reboot hahahahhaha
[02:08] <mikebot> Ex-Cyber: Yes
[02:08] <royel> mikebot: might try alt+enter, I can't say for sure, never played that game.
[02:08] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: try nano -w /etc/default/linux<tab>
[02:08] <IndyGunFreak> kazukisan: well, you need to figure out which one you didn't install,
[02:08] <mikebot> royel: Thanks, I'll try that./

[02:09] <amidaniel> ThanatosDrive: (belatedly) congrats :) Glad it's working for you
[02:09] <royel> mikebot: dont thank me yet :)
[02:09] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: or maybe better: sudo nano -w /etc/default/linux<tab>
[02:09] <tupa> kazukisan, in mplayer you do right click on the video window, and preferences, I dunno in totem
[02:09] <Ubunnted> I guess 'atop' needs a kernel patch for disk activity. I found 'baobab', so I'm trying this...
[02:09] <mikebot> royel: HEhe, OK
[02:09] <IndyGunFreak> kazukisan: are you using Feisty?
[02:09] <kazukisan> IndyGunFreak, yes
[02:09] <Folko> Ubunnted: Did you run it as root?
[02:09] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: im not on a ubuntu type thingy
[02:09] <zendo> Ex-Cyber: Sorry "mg" somehow slipped from my attention, I'll check it's description in Synaptic right away...
[02:10] <tupa> kazukisan, change it to X11, if it doesn't work, probably you are missing a codec
[02:10] <lethologica> netjunk1e: Is there a graphical way to manage network users?
[02:10] <pablo-uy-mvd> hi who do i enable remote autologin in gdm (im using ubuntu 7.04). i need each terminal to autolog users binded to each terminal. can gdm do that? i guess mac addresses must be involved in the solution o r maybe kdm can do the work?
[02:10] <Ubunnted> Folko: I *think* (I never know when I'm REALLY root in Ubuntu), via 'sudo bash'.
[02:10] <IndyGunFreak> tupa: there' s a possibility thats right i guess, but I've NEVER had to do that, and iv'e installed ubuntu and codecs more times than i can count
[02:10] <Folko> Ubunnted: You're root when the last character of your prompt is #, users have $
[02:10] <zendo> Ex-Cyber: thank you :)
[02:10] <royel> mikebot: I have a feeling it won't work
[02:10] <Ubunnted> Folko: That's what I thought. : )
[02:11] <kahrytan> tupa: #edit /etc/default/apache2 to change this.: NO_START=1 Hows that?
[02:11] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: i'm confused. you're not on ubuntu atm?
[02:11] <royel> mikebot: most games are not designed around window managers
[02:11] <PriceChild> Ubunnted, Folko there is never a reason to use a root terminal and I strongly advise you to /msg ubotu sudo, and follow its advice to use sudo
[02:11] <Ex-Cyber> zendo: I'm not sure mg meets your needs wrt syntax highlighting, I just remembered the name from when I ran OpenBSD where it's part of a standard install
[02:11] <kazukisan> IndyGunFreak, i dont see anything else i can install, so i have no clue what im missing, i did have gutsy on here and i did the same thing before and it was working okay
[02:11] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: no not that... just... like it wont enter what i type whats behind the cursor is blank

[02:12] <tupa> kahrytan, you do sudo nano /etc/default/apache2
[02:12] <Ubunnted> I don't think 'baobab' is what I thought it would be.
[02:12] <Ubunnted> It's cool though.
[02:12] <tupa> kahrytan and be careful on what you are doing, cuz sudo means root permissions in case you didn't know
[02:12] <netjunk1e> lethologica: look at the guide for SWAT on that site, i think it will work well for you
[02:12] <Folko> PriceChild: I didn't advice him to, just telling him that he needs to be root (through sudo) for atop
[02:12] <zendo> Ex-Cyber: well it's better that nothing. I've searched and till now found nothing (worth mentionning) except those stated above.
[02:12] <mikebot> royel: Dang
[02:12] <PriceChild> Folko, and that requires a full root terminal?
[02:12] <DmD> Hey, has anyone installed any EQ presets for xmms?
[02:12] <mikebot> royel: So I'll prob. have to quit to do anythign outside the game?

[02:13] <kahrytan> tupa: I know
[02:13] <ConfidentiaL> so, Im coming to my computer, my screensaver is on, and I move the mouse to write my password. But suddenly I cant get the keyboard to write in the textbox. I am currently in fullscreen console mode (Ctrl + Alt + F1), and I have tried killing both beryl and emerald processes, but with no luck. Do someone have any suggestions for me on how to fix it?
[02:13] <Folko> PriceChild: No, I said sudo atop, not sudo bash :) That was his idea
[02:13] <Ubunnted> PriceChild: It's bad?
[02:13] <kahrytan> tupa: Where you find that?
[02:13] <tupa> kahrytan find what?
[02:13] <Ubunnted> OH MY! I know it's bad now.
[02:13] <amidaniel> !yum
[02:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about yum - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:13] <amidaniel> hehe
[02:13] <kahrytan> tupa: that file.
[02:14] <Ubunnted> When four people start talking about you like a student driver after a 5 car pileup.
[02:14] <Folko> My problem seems to be only fixable by a reboot, can't reboot for a few days though :/
[02:15] <tupa> kahrytan, well, in /etc/default -_-
[02:15] <dcordes> !botsnack | amidaniel

[02:15] <royel> mikebot: I hope thats not the case, but it's likely to be so.
[02:15] <mikebot> When I used Windows I used a LaTeX editor (LEd) which had a built in DVI viewer. Is there anything like that for ubuntu?
[02:15] <kahrytan> tupa: Why did you look there
[02:16] <kahrytan> tupa: http://s120.photobucket.com/albums/o200/kahrytan/screenshots/?action=view&current=Screenshot-2.png
[02:16] <vox754> mikebot, use tetex or texlive2007, xdvi works pretty well
[02:17] <ConfidentiaL> I can't input to my "resume from screensaver" dialog. Could someone help me?
[02:17] <mikebot> VoX: What is xdvi?
[02:17] <royel> mikebot: latex is also available in the repositories I believe
[02:17] <lethologica> netjunk1e: SWAT is installed, when I goto http://localhost:901/ firefox says unable to connect
[02:17] <DmD> Hey, has anyone installed any EQ presets for xmms?
[02:17] <wckdkl0wn> Folko, how do i get it to scan all the ports not just 1627 of them
[02:17] <dcordes> maybe reinstall for screensaver issues
[02:17] <mikebot> royel: I'm looking for a nice editor too
[02:17] <dcordes> :D
[02:17] <dcordes> mikebot: nano
[02:17] <royel> mikebot: nano :)
[02:17] <Folko> wckdkl0wn: -p 1-65535
[02:18] <DmD> I have enabled 5.1 surround sound for alsa, but some mp3s sound a little weird..not sure why.
[02:18] <royel> mikebot: or your wanting something with syntax highlighting?
[02:18] <vox754> mikebot, a dvi previwer it is quite famous in the Unix world
[02:18] <yjj3019_> ???
[02:18] <mikebot> royel: Yeah, something with that and command hints
[02:18] <kahrytan> tupa: Like it?
[02:19] <sirjoebob> anyone know of a ubuntu-friendly program to convert videos to play nice with an ipod?
[02:19] <netjunk1e> lethologica: i will be back in a sec
[02:19] <kahrytan> sirjoebob: videohelp.com
[02:19] <royel> mikebot: well, I wouldn't reccomend it :) but there is always vim ;)
[02:19] <ConfidentiaL> ps ux
[02:19] <tupa> kahtrytan???
[02:19] <tupa> kahrytan, that's a firefox snapshot
[02:19] <Emperor886> Can someone help me install an updated graphics driver?
[02:19] <vox754> mikebot, you can use kile, or gedit or kate or vim and so. There are guides with more info in the forums. Kile seems like the best choice.
[02:20] <mikebot> royel: Actually, what is the most basic editor with a built in dvi viewer, and nothing else?
[02:20] <mikebot> VoX: Thanks.
[02:20] <kahrytan> tupa: No, it's my current desktop snapshop
[02:20] <sirjoebob> kahrytan: thanks, will check there
[02:20] <kahrytan> snapshot
[02:20] <royel> mikebot: have you tried latex?
[02:20] <Folko> Is there any way to force a disconnect of an USB device?
[02:20] <tupa> kahrytan, aha, yes, and what's the problem?
[02:20] <quasar8888> Is this the place for ubuntu newbies ?
[02:20] <tupa> quasar8888 welcome
[02:20] <mikebot> royel: latex?
[02:20] <wckdkl0wn> Folko, what about if he is using udp?
[02:21] <kahrytan> tupa: Just showing off
[02:21] <DmD> Would anyone know why my sound is a little off in xmms?
[02:21] <tupa> kahrytan, ooh ok, it seems like a nice theme :P
[02:21] <quasar8888> Hello all , I need help playing DVDs
[02:21] <royel> mikebot: I think apt-get install tetex-base
[02:21] <tupa> kahrytan did you changed it or is it the default?
[02:21] <vox754> mikebot, a built-in dvi viewer seems kind of strange. Just editing, compiling and previewing is not hard.
[02:21] <Folko> wckdkl0wn: Not sure what to do then. Most VPNs use UDP, but it's not really scannable because it's a connection-less protocol
[02:21] <Emperor886> Can someone please help me to install an updated graphics driver? I have it downloaded but I have no idea how to run it.
[02:21] <kahrytan> tupa: What is
[02:22] <mikebot> VoX: So what do you use?
[02:22] <Folko> Emperor886: Is it a .bin file?
[02:22] <netjunk1e> lethologica: a reboot fixed it for me,  apache needs to restart
[02:22] <kahrytan> tupa: I just change my desktop today
[02:22] <Emperor886> Folko: It is a .tar.gz
[02:22] <ConfidentiaL> What could prevent me from writing in the return from screensaver dialog?
[02:23] <Folko> Emperor886: Did you unpack it already?
[02:23] <tupa> kahrytan: theme is a Desktop look & feel, is English your native language?
[02:23] <mneptok> Emperor886: where did you get this?
[02:23] <Emperor886> Folko: Yes.
[02:23] <vox754> mikebot, I have installed "tetex-base" and "tetex-extra", I edit my files with "gedit", compile with the terminal, "latex file", and preview with "xdvi file".
[02:23] <Emperor886> Mneptok: Nvidia.com
[02:23] <Folko> Emperor886: Are there lots of files in it or just one?
[02:23] <mneptok> Emperor886: i would not install that unless absolutely necessary.
[02:23] <kahrytan> tupa: You are just confusing
[02:23] <Tamale> can someone knowledgeable with the ways fonts are rendered in linux help me?
[02:23] <mikebot> vox754: Ok, I'll do that..thanks.
[02:24] <ConfidentiaL> What could prevent me from writing in the "return from screensaver" dialog?
[02:24] <Emperor886> Folko: 14 files plus another folder.
[02:24] <mikebot> tetex-bin too, right?
[02:24] <tupa> kahrytan: thank you
[02:24] <mneptok> Emperor886: use the nVidia drivers provided by the package management system.
[02:24] <Emperor886> Mneptek: I have an Acer laptop, need to update the driver for it to stop freezing.
[02:24] <quasar8888> why can't I play DVD discs ?
[02:24] <vox754> mikebot, yes naturally. Search the packages with "aptitude search tetex"
[02:24] <`mac`> just wan a say hello,
[02:24] <mneptok> Emperor886: have you tried the nv driver?
[02:24] <jpowermacg4> hi mac
[02:24] <kahrytan> tupa: I'll clear it up. I change my ubuntu desktop to that new one - login, grub splash, gtk, and metacity.
[02:24] <Mortuis> How do I determine what version I am running on the command line?
[02:25] <`mac`> hello, jpowermacg4:
[02:25] <Emperor886> Mneptok: I don't know how to insall it, so no.
[02:25] <mneptok> Mortuis: uname-a && lsb_release
[02:25] <mikebot> VoX: Thanks.
[02:25] <vox754> `mac`, go to the off topic channel #ubuntu-offtopic , you can discuss all things there.
[02:25] <Mortuis> mneptok: Thanks
[02:25] <tupa> kahrytan: ok

[02:27] <scottDkoDer> I'm having trouble with gcc finding any header files, even after setting the include path with the -I option.
[02:27] <mikebot> VoX: DO you know how ot make folders arrange objects so that instead of scrolling down you have to scroll to the right?
[02:27] <scottDkoDer> Any ideas??
[02:27] <scottDkoDer> g++ works fine, I'm just curious the proper code to use.
[02:27] <foug> hi, where do i find my system specs in ubuntu? i need to find out what kind of network card i have
[02:28] <mneptok> foug: lspci
[02:28] <tupa> shadhoe, I play tremulous
[02:28] <] RandoM[> anyway to add some extra nautilus integration so i can left click and 'enqueue in xmms' .. dragging stuff into the playlist can be kind of annoyying
[02:28] <vox754> scottDkoDer, currently there are people in #ubuntu-programming willing to talk, give it a shot there.
[02:28] <scottDkoDer> vox754: Ok, thx.
[02:28] <shadhoe> Im trying to get the wow ptr (2.2.0) to work under wine
[02:28] <foug> mneptok: k which one is my network card? lol, sorry ;x
[02:28] <vox754> mikebot, in nautilus? that is odd, I never thought of that.
[02:28] <shadhoe> the current version launches and runs fine
[02:29] <mneptok> foug: my crystal ball is in the shop for repairs, sorry ;)
[02:29] <foug> mneptok: aw crap
[02:29] <mikebot> VoX: Like in WIndows when you view as a list
[02:29] <shadhoe> but when I try to launch the wow ptr, wow appears to run, but the wow window never comes into focus and I cant switch to it
[02:29] <shadhoe> any ideas?
[02:29] <foug> shadhoe: that probably has something to do with WINE
[02:29] <foug> shadhoe: try running it in a virtual desktop, i think
[02:30] <shadhoe> foug, like vmware?
[02:30] <foug> shadhoe: no idea tbh i quit wow
