[10:22] <Quarup> I was building a driver and I followed the instructions step by stem but it broke when i tried to make and make install can someone help me?
[10:22] <Yonith> just to get things running of course then go back later and fix anything
[10:22] <XamDM> posingaspopular, do you know how i can tel gtk2 apps to use a specific theme within enlightment ??
[10:22] <kbidd> Gabz, from the command line, sudo <command>
[10:22] <XamDM> posingaspopular, im using e17
[10:23] <Gabz> kbidd:  no the other one for graphical for kde it is kdesu what's the gnome one ?
[10:23] <RagingBull> how do I recompile the ipw2200 driver so it uses listen mode for kismet?
[10:23] <posingaspopular> XamDM: i should know but i dont remember at all, sorry

[10:23] <Quarup> writew makes pointer from integer without a cast
[10:23] <Quarup> it said that alot
[10:24] <kbidd> Gabz, sudo will let you start an application with a GUI... im not a KDE user, so im not sure what kdesu is, but sudo should work
[10:24] <Quarup> Please help I was following this guide but it broke when I did make ?
[10:24] <Quarup> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/BuffaloWLIL11GUSB
[10:24] <Gabz> kbidd:  found it gksu should do what i want
[10:25] <Yonith> kbidd: ur saying this is on ubuntu.com?
[10:25] <posingaspopular> Quarup: modprobe orinoco_usb
[10:25] <kbidd> Yonith, the default installer uses the X system... if its not working, i dont see how you would be able to install... you will probably need the alternative installation cd for text-mode (available for free download from the ubuntu site)
[10:25] <posingaspopular> actually
[10:25] <Quarup> posingaspopular, I did and it said it can't find that module, it did'nt even make it past make
[10:26] <posingaspopular> it says that if there is an error, you need to remove the old module
[10:26] <T0uCH> did a web-page of terminal language of ubuntu exist?
[10:26] <posingaspopular> so "rmmod orinoco hermes"
[10:26] <Quarup> posingaspopular, no there was an error in the make it says if there is an error when you modprobe, and plus I tried removing the old module
[10:27] <Quarup> The error is happening during the make
[10:27] <posingaspopular> Quarup: hmmm isee
[10:27] <Yonith> by the "alternative installation cd" do you mean the iso that u get from the download section?
[10:27] <posingaspopular> i dont think i can help
[10:27] <Quarup> I know
[10:27] <Quarup> Will someone look at the verbose i got when the make failed?
[10:28] <Yonith> cause i figured that was the image for the live cd...which is what i've been using
[10:28] <kbidd> Yonith, its kind of hard to find... heres a direct link to one of the mirrors for the alternitive cd for x64... http://ubuntu.mirrors.imagepile.net/6.10/ubuntu-6.10-alternate-amd64.iso
[10:28] <floating> ok, I cannot find the dfesktop environment hot keys, other than this one place, where default is used and F1 is not assigned to anything. My other question would be that I would like to be able to edit my right-clicks pop-up menu, but I dont know where. especially when on xfce terminal
[10:29] <jpjacobs> floating, look in /etc/... or in dot files in your homedit
[10:29] <floating> ok i try
[10:29] <Inbilla> hey all
[10:29] <jpjacobs> floating, or maybe it's something in your htop config? some external command line ..
[10:29] <kbidd> Yonith, if thats too slow, try picking a mirror off of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors?action=show&redirect=Archive#head-fab4d6d35e31eee0ed63a5a43bbcba28d8a01c25 thats closer to you
[10:30] <Quarup> Great pastebin is broken
[10:31] <Quarup> Anyone want to look at the verbose and maybe tell me what they think went wrong http://pastebin.ca/432491
[10:32] <floating> dillo was triggeredd from F1 before htop was installed. that isnt a problem, when i can see the htop help file from internet too. Next I am gonna find out, if I can open a URL link in the xfce terminal, by right-clicking the link, and choosing from 2 different browsers
[10:32] <Yonith> ok nice it's dling at 1.4mb/sec
[10:32] <Quarup> Please anyone?
[10:33] <fulat2k> hi folks, i've a usb thumb drive which has an ext2 partition.  but the automounter doesn't grant proper access rights for me to copy files to it as it locks it down for root.  is there any way i can fix this default behaviour?  works fine with fat16 thumb drives.
[10:33] <kbidd> Yonith, i had a little finding the link for the alternative cd myself :)
[10:33] <kbidd> *had a little trouble
[10:33] <mjr> fulat2k, you need to chown it to your user
[10:33] <kbidd> wow.... im tired... im leaving out words
[10:34] <mjr> fulat2k, ext2 stores access rights in itself
[10:34] <Yonith> yah it doesn't even come up in the search
[10:34] <Quarup> How can i check if my kernel headers are right?
[10:34] <fulat2k> mjr: sudo chown every time it mounts?
[10:34] <T0uCH> can i plug a PSP in ubuntu??? just wanna know!
[10:35] <fulat2k> T0uCH: can't u just plug it in like any usb drive?
[10:35] <Gabz> T0uCH: you mean the sony device ?
[10:35] <T0uCH> yeah sony
[10:35] <mjr> fulat2k, no, since as I said, it remembers it. You can chmod 1777 or something though to make it world-writable if you use it on several uids
[10:35] <fulat2k> mjr: ic.  cool.  lemme try it out. thx
[10:35] <T0uCH> fulat2k:  no it need specifie program i think
[10:35] <Gabz> T0uCH: yeah you should be able to just plug it in with a usb cable and it will see it as a usb stick
[10:36] <Quarup> Will someone please look at http://pastebin.ca/432491 and tell me why my make broke?
[10:37] <Yonith> kbidd:  so is this text based installation going to be difficult for someone who have never used linux before.  or is it pretty straight foward
[10:38] <Quarup> kbidd, http://pastebin.ca/432491 please
[10:38] <kbidd> Yonith, not at all.... its completly menu driven...  just doesnt use the X graphics system
[10:38] <Gabz> Quarup: you installed your kernal headers ?
[10:38] <Yonith> oh sweet
[10:39] <kbidd> Quarup, not sure... from the error message /lib/modules/2.6.20-14-generic/build/.tmp_versions/*.mod is missing, but i don't know much about the specific application you're building... make sure you have kernel headers installed
[10:39] <Yonith> good i'll be able to just install my video card drivers right off the bat then....im assuming they're related
[10:39] <Quarup> Gabz kbidd  Yes it says linux-headers-2.6.20-14-generic is already the newest version.
[10:40] <Gabz> Quarup: what are you trying to do ?
[10:40] <mneptok> Gabz: "kernel" (sorry, pet peeve)
[10:40] <Quarup> Gabz https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/BuffaloWLIL11GUSB
[10:40] <Gabz> mneptok: noted !
[10:41] <fulat2k> T0uCH: well, i found this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/qpspmanager/  need to try it out when i get back as i don't have my psp with me now
[10:41] <Quarup> Gabz did ya see the link?
[10:41] <mneptok> Quarup: Oregon, eh?
[10:42] <Quarup> This sucks i am going to have to nuke linux and use winblows just because i can't get my wireless working
[10:42] <Quarup> mneptok, yup
[10:42] <T0uCH> fulat2k:  thanks i'll try tomorow.. my PSp isn't charge... and i'm to leezy
[10:42] <mneptok> Quarup: or you could sell that USB dongle and get a real solution
[10:42] <craigaa> hi all, I'm looking for a nice "get ubuntu" button for a web site. The one's available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WebsiteButtons don't really work for me. Does anyone have a nice one I can use?
[10:42] <mneptok> Quarup: supported 802.11x cards are like US$25 from Newegg.
[10:43] <Gabz> Quarup:  are you sure you did these right "apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`"
[10:43] <Quarup> No I have no cash and I need it tonight, the comp must be moved in the next two hours so I will have to install windows if I must
[10:43] <Gabz> Quarup: you also probably want to run sudo make
[10:43] <Quarup> Gabz I copy pasted it, and I checked and tried again and I got this linux-headers-2.6.20-14-generic is already the newest version.
[10:43] <broady_> craigaa: what size
[10:43] <CorpseFeeder> Can someone help me with finding the Rosegarden configuration file so I can modify it? I can't run Rosegarden at the moment because I was playing with the sequencer timing settings and now it freezes the computer during program startup.
[10:43] <Quarup> gabz I did
[10:44] <craigaa> broady_: about 180px wide
[10:44] <kbidd> Gabz, make can usually be run as a normal user... its just make install that needs root
[10:44] <Broady> craigaa: whats wrong with the ones @ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WebsiteButtons
[10:44] <Quarup> mneptok, okay that is great except newegg can't get anything here in 2 hours and I have no credit card plus that is alot of money to some people
[10:44] <craigaa> broady_: I'd do it myself using the official logo, but I don't know how to "buttonize" in Gimp
[10:44] <chengzhewu> Gabz: installation finished. Is there anything else to do?
[10:45] <Quarup> kbidd, i tried non root and than root, it brrrreaks either way
[10:45] <mneptok> Quarup: well, ndiswrapper is not a reliable solution. even if you get it working, it's a house of cards.
[10:45] <Gabz> Quarup:  um.. the problem is apt-get install  linux-headers-`uname -r`  double check that worked
[10:45] <craigaa> Broady: They mostly don't look good on the site...
[10:45] <Quarup> Gabz, please read what I just told you before that
[10:45] <schitzo> hi
[10:45] <Gabz> chengzhewu: in the menu applicantion system there should be a ntfs-cofig program

[10:46] <CorpseFeeder> let me re-phrase the question... Is there anyone here who knows anything about Rosegarden?
[10:46] <predaeus> Quarup, Is a build failing or what is the problem apart from wifi not working yet?

[11:00] <sorcere12> -NickServ- Syntax: REGISTER <password>
[11:00] <sorcere12> -
[11:00] <sorcere12> -NickServ- Type: /msg NickServ HELP REGISTER for more information
[11:01] <camer0ff> register your nick name sorcere12
[11:01] <sorcere12> how
[11:01] <foug> kbidd: yes i'm use to using .zip and .rar in windows, just don't know anything about linux really ;D
[11:01] <sorcere12> i just type this command right
[11:01] <foug> Slart: download package files only?
[11:01] <Quarup> I wish i knew why this build is failing
[11:01] <Slart> foug: isn't there an "install" option  too?
[11:01] <camer0ff> type /msg nickserv register <email address> <password>
[11:02] <kbidd> foug, yeah, but unlike windows where the .zips contain executables, the .tar.gz's usually contain source code
[11:02] <foug> Slart: yea, apply, i just went ahead and installed without worrying about the thing to check
[11:02] <Quarup> camer0ff, our services do not require an email address
[11:02] <camer0ff> if you type /msg nickserv help register it will give you more info
[11:02] <foug> kbidd: and i run the source code in the terminal?
[11:02] <camer0ff> Quarup, ah fair enough :)
[11:02] <arooni> my sony laptop doesnt record......... suggestions?
[11:03] <kbidd> foug, usually theres an INSTALLING file with instructions in the .tar.gz archive, but in general you just use ./configure && make && sudo make install
[11:03] <posingaspopular> !sound
[11:03] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[11:03] <Slart> foug: ok.. when it finishes you'll have xchat gome installed.. look for it in the "applications" menu.. under internet
[11:03] <foug_> kbidd: yea i tried reading the one for audacious but didn't understand anything, heh. I use /configure and such in the terminal right?
[11:03] <foug_> Slart: got it, using it now :) white background is gross
[11:04] <kbidd> foug_, yes, but its ./configure, not /configure
[11:04] <Slart> foug_: then change it =)
[11:04] <foug_> Slart: on it :D
[11:04] <camer0ff> how do i get my monitor to display the screen correctly? it is currently positioned too far left and has a wide black band down the right hand side

[11:05] <poningru> foug_: it will
[11:05] <SlartTheGreat> itdoes
[11:05] <foug_> it isn't working for me
[11:05] <kbidd> sorcere12, in general when someone type something with <command> or <option> it is just a placeholder, and you replace the entier <command> or <option> with the command or optoin (without the "<>"s)

[11:08] <foug> Slart: do i have to extract the files in the .tgz?
[11:08] <XSive_> skino, if you install feisty it will install the proprietary drivers for you
[11:08] <Slart> foug: you don't have to.. you can install audacious the same way you installed xchat-gome
[11:08] <sorcere12> ok
[11:08] <Flannel> infoclog: in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf under all the type config stuff, and above the logformat stuff ,theres a "user" and "group" directive
[11:09] <chengzhewu> Anyone?
[11:09] <sorcere12> finally iam registered
[11:09] <Gabz> chengzhewu: did you get it to read ntfs ?
[11:09] <XSive_> well, you have to make it do it.. but it is all automated
[11:09] <Slart> foug: but if you really want to.. try just double clicking on the file in the "explorer"
[11:09] <CharminTheMoose> hey, could anyone point me to ubuntu's wireless documentation?
[11:09] <Flannel> !wifi | CharminTheMoose
[11:09] <ubotu> CharminTheMoose: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[11:09] <chengzhewu> oh yeah
[11:09] <chengzhewu> it's working fine now
[11:09] <chengzhewu> Gabz:thanks by the way
[11:09] <Gabz> !wine   | chengzhewu:
[11:09] <ubotu> chengzhewu:: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[11:09] <foug> Slart: nah there's no audacious when i search for it.
[11:10] <Slart> foug: spelled it correctly.. I'm pretty sure it's there
[11:10] <foug> Slart: hmm what was kbidd talking about with the ./configure way?
[11:10] <chengzhewu> Gabz:thanks
[11:10] <XSive_> anyone know why 16gigs are hidden on a new machine?  I disabled system restore and it is still transparent
[11:10] <Slart> !audacious
[11:10] <ubotu> A !repository for the Audacious audio player now exists: see http://audacious-media-player.org/Downloads
[11:10] <Gabz> chengzhewu: no probs
[11:10] <sorcere12> guys can anyone tell me how much i should share my 80 gb hdd with xp and windows please
[11:10] <foug> Slart: nope not there
[11:10] <TauyR> !wine Intel x86
[11:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wine intel x86 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:10] <Slart> foug: that's the other way of installing software.. you have to compile the source yourself
[11:10] <TauyR> !wine 7.04
[11:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wine 7.04 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:10] <sorcere12> i mean ubuntu and xp
[11:10] <sorcere12> sorry
[11:10] <foug> Slart: o, is that hard and takes awhile?
[11:11] <infoclog> Flannel: found it. another question...what is the signifigance of this user and group ?
[11:11] <Slart> foug: yes and yes =).. well. it's not that bad once you get the hang of it.. =)
[11:11] <chengzhewu> Gabz: one more question - on my firefox, it sticks on 'looking up ____________________ for a while, then loads (well, sticks on the "looking up" longer than my windows anyway), is this normal?
[11:11] <Flannel> foug: xchat-gnome is the package in main.  No, you don't need to compile it.
[11:11] <foug> Flannel: talking about audacious, allready got me x-chat
[11:11] <camer0ff> infoclog, people can be users, users can be grouped
[11:11] <foug> Slart: hmmm, is there a good wiki howto anywhere? lol
[11:12] <camer0ff> infoclog, does that help?
[11:12] <Flannel> !audacious | foug
[11:12] <Gabz> chengzhewu: it's a dns being a bit slow it should be similar speeds to windows but it's nothing to worry about you may want to google swiftfox.
[11:12] <ubotu> foug: A !repository for the Audacious audio player now exists: see http://audacious-media-player.org/Downloads
[11:12] <Slart> foug: ok.. we'll try something else
[11:12] <Flannel> Slart, foug, audacious has a repository apparently, see that factoid.
[11:12] <Ragingbull> trying to use the find command to search the entire filesystem for a file but not doing it correctly
[11:12] <Ragingbull> ??
[11:12] <foug> Flannel: huh
[11:12] <chengzhewu> thanks gabz
[11:13] <Ragingbull> I did 'find file.doc /*
[11:13] <Flannel> infoclog: that's the user/group that apache runs as.  Apache does everything as that user.  Um, if a file in /var/www isn't readable by www-data, the webserver can't read it, etc
[11:13] <gesus> hello
[11:13] <Slart> foug: when you installed xchat-gnome, you installed a package... a package is like an installer in windows.. you downloaded this from a repository...
[11:13] <Slart> foug: with me so far?
[11:13] <foug> Slart: got'cha, so repository is like a server eh?
[11:13] <Slart> Flannel: yup.. I saw that.. thanks
[11:13] <Slart> foug: yup
[11:13] <johnt> I just d/loaded some extra levels for a game called pingus I can play them one at a time by "openwith" Is there a way to get them all available in gui form
[11:13] <gesus> are there any IM clients for ubuntu that can be used to access the MYSPACE-IM network??
[11:13] <infoclog> camer0ff: people can be users.. and users can be grouped...is www-data a specific user ? do i have to create a new user with the name www-data on my machine . Basically i want to create a dir what only the webserver can access.
[11:13] <foug> k
[11:13] <Flannel> Slart: Audacious is in Feisty, and that page has a deb for Edgy
[11:14] <ale__> ciao
[11:14] <Flannel> infoclog: the user is already created.
[11:14] <rmz> j #anime
[11:14] <Slart> foug: to install audacious we need to add another server that synaptic searches
[11:14] <foug> Slart: k
[11:14] <Arcad3> hi! grub on my ubuntu partition says Cannot mount partition any help?
[11:14] <camer0ff> infoclog, using apache?
[11:14] <Flannel> infoclog: you'd want to make that directory owned by www-data:www-data and make it so it's only readable by it's owner and/or group
[11:14] <Slart> foug: we'll add another repository.. in system, admnistration, software sources
[11:14] <foug> Slart: Settings > Repositories?
[11:15] <Slart> foug: ah.. that might work too.. yes
[11:15] <foug> Slart: it did, what we do now
[11:15] <Flannel> Slart: it's not a repository.  It's jsut a deb.
[11:15] <mneptok> third party repos. the recipe for disaster.
[11:15] <Flannel> Slart: or, so it seems.  Poor factoid
[11:15] <r00b1k> hello guys

[11:15] <r00b1k> sorry for my english)
[11:15] <infoclog> Flannel: thats what i did.. i created a dir with www-data.www-data ug+rwx
[11:16] <Flannel> infoclog: where is that dir?
[11:16] <infoclog> Flannel: but i cannot enter this directory now.
[11:16] <mneptok> sorcere12: Linux only needs ~7.5GB. that's with NO user data.
[11:16] <johnt> I just d/loaded some extra levels for a game called pingus I can play them one at a time by "openwith" Is there a way to get them all available in gui form
[11:16] <Flannel> infoclog: that's correct.  You don't have permission.
[11:16] <infoclog> Flannel: this dir is in /var/local/
[11:16] <r00b1k> Help me to connect thru VPN
[11:16] <Flannel> infoclog: why not /var/www?
[11:16] <foug> Slart: ;x
[11:16] <Slart> foug: ok.. click the third party thingy
[11:17] <bXi> i take it that feisty isnt officially released yet?
[11:17] <infoclog> Flannel: would it not the same.. whats the signifigance of /var/www
[11:17] <Slart> Flannel: there are repos on the page the factoid points to
[11:17] <jhaig> bXi: No, it is beta
[11:17] <r00b1k> folk can u help me?
[11:17] <XSive_> seems stable enought o be
[11:17] <Flannel> Slart: eh?  It's just a directory with the debs.   Not a repos
[11:17] <Flannel> bXi: it's still beta, for a week and a bit.
[11:17] <bXi> mate of mine got a message saying the new kubuntu is available
[11:17] <fotoflo__> how do i create or find the socket file for mysqld?
[11:17] <Slart> Flannel: check the page in the factoid..
[11:17] <sorcere12> mneptock can i message you ?
[11:17] <r00b1k> =(
[11:18] <fotoflo__> the config file points to an empty location
[11:18] <XSive_> Feisty is pretty sweet
[11:18] <foug> Slart: k now what
[11:18] <Flannel> Slart: I am.  There are no repositories.  Debian != Ubuntu.
[11:18] <bXi> is there someone here who has ubuntu on a NCR system?
[11:18] <Slart> Flannel: in the debian section there are repos for ubuntu.. (deb http://static.audacious-media-player.org/ubuntu edgy main)
[11:18] <Flannel> Slart: he needs to scroll all the way down, click the edgy one (http://mail.atheme.org/~soho/) download the packages and install locally
[11:18] <sorcere12> yeah see what iam worried is if iam on ubuntu downloading all my files .. into the ubuntu section and say i wanted to open them up in windows how can i find it /?
[11:19] <Slart> foug: click the add-button
[11:19] <pavs2> after updating to fiesty my flash in not working how do I fix it?
[11:19] <XSive_> sorcere12..  a third partition is the easy way to do that
[11:19] <Flannel> Slart: psh.    Anyway, local installation is probably a safer way to go anyway.
[11:19] <pavs2> using 64bit
[11:19] <XSive_> one share partition and the dual os partitions
[11:19] <Slart> foug: and then copy paste this string.. without the citation marks "deb http://static.audacious-media-player.org/ubuntu edgy main"
[11:19] <lineman60> is there a good podcaching software (ipodder is to resource intenceive)
[11:19] <sorcere12> xsive can i message you i have some question it will only take a few mins
[11:20] <XSive_> sure
[11:20] <Slart> foug: and then click "add source"
[11:20] <Flannel> infoclog: /var/www is the web data directory
[11:20] <johnt> Is there a better place to ask this?? just d/loaded some extra levels for a game called pingus I can play them one at a time by "openwith" Is there a way to get them all available in gui form
[11:20] <Slart> Flannel: I think audacious is in seveas repository too
[11:20] <Flannel> infoclog: apache is already serving /var/www, anything you put in there will be accessible by people who browse to your computer

[11:27] <Gabz> [uplink] :  are you installing ubuntu ?
[11:27] <Flannel> maz: reboot, at the grub menu, select the recovery console version of your kernel.  Assuming your grub menu is still hidden.  You'll neeed to hit escape to get to it.  So, spam escape after your POST screen when booting.

[11:30] <Flannel> maz: yeah, looks good.
[11:30] <Gabz> [uplink] :  ok when you isntall ubuntu you have to make some room on the hard drive to install it
 perth is great, never been to port H though.
[11:30] <Slart> foug: nope.. I've been using ubuntu for a couple of months.. that's it
[11:31] <maz> thanks Flannel.  And from there I guess I can just add myself to all the other groups again.
[11:31] <foug> Slart:  well, do you know what each of the folders is? Bin, dev, and all the other ones?
[11:31] <[uplink] > omg

[11:31] <Flannel> maz: obviously, you wouldn't be in flannel (and that'd beyour primary group - `-g` group, not -G
[11:31] <Gabz> [uplink] :  ok yeah you want to make a third partition
[11:32] <[uplink] > omg !
[11:32] <foug> Slart:  cool

[11:32] <Gabz> [uplink] :  your new to computers arn't you....
[11:32] <[uplink] > so an "E:"
[11:32] <Flannel> maz: man usermod if you have any questions about syntax or whatnot.  It's pretty good.  But yeah, once oyu're in admin, you can boot bac kto gnome, and use "users and groups" to add it all graphically
[11:32] <[uplink] > no Gabz

[11:33] <Slart> foug: did "df" work?
[11:33] <foug> Slart: yes
[11:33] <Slart> foug: then I think you need to put a space between df and -hl
[11:33] <foug> Slart: i'm downloading mp3 support for amarok and it asks, "do you want to enable restricted software from multiverse?"
[11:33] <Gabz> [uplink] :  basically use windows to make your C: smaller  and leave empty space there don't format it or make a partition then install ubuntu on the empty space
[11:33] <foug> Slart: no no df works, it gave me a list of lines all about my main drive
[11:33] <Slart> foug: yes, do that..
[11:34] <foug> Slart: both work, df and df -hl

[11:36] <eindra> anyone good with C#?
[11:36] <Gabz> [uplink] :  in the ubuntu installer you select the hard drive you want to use then you say use the free space.. now here the free space refers to unformatted unpartitioned space on your hard drive
[11:36] <foug> Slart: amarok won't play my mp3's, anytime i click the song it tells me mp3 support is installed and to restart, so i quit and restart and it tells me the same thing

[11:58] <[uplink] > (Gabz): are you there ?
[11:58] <xXSive> it's not a player though
[11:58] <Shafto> chengzhewu, Umm you could maybe try aMSN? MSN definatley doesnt work through wine according to their appdb
[11:59] <mode7> Can somebody help me with the fglrx drivers
[11:59] <Moniker42> hey, does anyone know of a media player app that will save the status of an audio file being played across reboots?
[11:59] <Moniker42> i want to use it for an audiobook
[11:59] <chengzhewu> shafto: thanks. so there is a database of what programmes that work with Wine and ones does not?
[11:59] <SloggerKhan> What I'd like is plugin that managed my ipod as though it knows I'm using rockbox....        iPods are so annoying. I kinda wish I hadn't been given one.
[11:59] <foug> sacater: how do i get mp3 support with banshee?
[11:59] <Moniker42> chengzhewu, on the wine website
[11:59] <Shafto> chengzhewu, Yeah at http://appdb.winehq.com
[12:00] <sonictwin> does itunes work in linux?
[12:00] <chengzhewu> thanks

[12:00] <Ribs> sonictwin, with wine and a lot of tweaking, yeah
[12:00] <Shafto> sonictwin, Umm maybe through wine
[12:00] <Moniker42> SloggerKhan, have you tried Hipo?
[12:00] <Ribs> older versions do
[12:00] <Gabz> [uplink] :  yes mate
[12:00] <SloggerKhan> No, I haven't.
[12:00] <Ribs> it's not worth the effort really
[12:00] <sonictwin> cool
[12:00] <Moniker42> SloggerKhan, it's an ipod management utility
[12:00] <[uplink] > :D
[12:00] <Moniker42> they have debs on their website i think if you google it
[12:00] <sonictwin> i'm using ubuntu 6.10
[12:00] <Pooky> would anyone by chance know how to get php to compile with dbase support? I've downloaded the package source and tried adding --enable-dbase to the debian/rules, but it's still not coming up as enabled :/
[12:00] <[uplink] > Gabz, and when I install ubuntu, what about my drivers ?
[12:00] <Shafto> sonictwin, If you really want to do it look http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=4450 there maybe
[12:01] <Gabz> [uplink] :  most will work out of the box... but depending on what you have some might not have any drivers..
[12:01] <chengzhewu> Shafto:another question - is there a particular reason that Wireless doesn't like Linux? I tried Knoppix and Ubuntu - none of them works with wireless.
[12:01] <cappiz> someone knows if amavis can send spam-tagged mails to a spam-folder?
[12:01] <mode7> I need help installing the the fglrx driers for ati
[12:01] <[uplink] > |O\O|
[12:01] <Shafto> chengzhewu, Its just doesnt :), only joking ask on here, specifying problem and wireless card
[12:01] <[uplink] > wireless drivers ?
[12:02] <sonictwin> thanks
[12:02] <Shafto> mode7, Where you trying to install from?
[12:02] <Gabz> chengzhewu:  the companys which make the wireless cards are arses... expect intel
[12:02] <Shafto> Wired FTW :D
[12:02] <Gabz> [uplink] :  depends on the card intel is good.
[12:02] <SloggerKhan> fglrx driver for feisty or for edgy?
[12:02] <mode7> edgy eft
[12:03] <SloggerKhan> How are you doing it? Through repository, or through ati/amd website?
[12:03] <chengzhewu> the wireless card - realtek something
[12:03] <SloggerKhan> realtek is usually audio
[12:03] <chengzhewu> I know
[12:03] <mode7> i installed the pakages vie synaptic
[12:03] <chengzhewu> The rep of the laptop manufacturer couldn't believe it either
[12:04] <Shafto> mode7, did you follow any guides at all?
[12:04] <mode7> i followed the guide
[12:04] <Shafto> !ati | mode7
[12:04] <ubotu> mode7: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:04] <SloggerKhan> so what happens when you log in?
[12:04] <Gabz> chengzhewu: what laptop do you have ?
[12:04] <mode7> and they already worked
[12:04] <chengzhewu> Toshiba m110
[12:04] <Shafto> mode7, Whats up with them?
[12:05] <mode7> i made a kernel update and i cant get them to work again
[12:05] <chengzhewu> Gabz:The wireless connection shows up in Network Settings, but there is nothing I could do to get it to connect it to the net
[12:05] <xXSive> in my case it was less of a headache to install feisty and click to automate the install my proprietary graphic card drivers than it was to battle it out on edgy
[12:05] <mode7> i think the fglrx.ko does not even get installed

[12:08] <malcome> foug- u need a plugin
[12:08] <xXSive> nah' I just leech someone elses great work
[12:08] <SloggerKhan> foug, are you on feisty?
[12:08] <foug> malcome: from where?
[12:08] <Shafto> Yonith, You tried startx?
[12:08] <xXSive> I would like to try and make my own
[12:08] <foug> SloggerKhan: no eft
[12:09] <malcome> synaptic
[12:09] <foug> malcome: what's it called
[12:09] <malcome> will just check
[12:09] <Yonith> no i'll try that thanks
[12:09] <Gabz> chengzhewu:  if you have a toshiba m110 it should work fine it has an intel chip in it atleast the austrlian model does
[12:09] <Yonith> do i have to be root?
[12:09] <SloggerKhan> I'd get all gstreamer plugins, plugins for xine (xineextracodecs)
[12:09] <Shafto> Yonith, from command line
[12:09] <Shafto> Yonith
[12:09] <chengzhewu> Gabz: somehow it doesn't
[12:09] <Shafto> Yonith, Type 'sudo apt-get install gdm'
[12:10] <chengzhewu> Gabz: and I am in australia, too
[12:10] <Shafto> Yonith, That should give you the default ubuntu login screen which then starts X
[12:10] <[uplink] > BYE !!!
[12:10] <[uplink] > GN !!!!
[12:10] <Yonith> k thanks guys
[12:10] <malcome> foug-if you type in the program you want in synapticit SHOULD come up with an add on/plugin
[12:10] <xXSive> anyone installed virtualbox on feisty yet?  noticed on the website they only support up to edgy or dapper, (can't recall)
[12:10] <Gabz> chengzhewu: it either has an intel chip in it or someone is taking you for a ride .....
[12:10] <chengzhewu> Gabz: If I have a password for the connection - is it hexadecimal or plain?
[12:10] <foug> malcome: i've tried amarok and banshee and they don't work. Audacious and XMMS worked but they are too simple, i need a playlist and tabs ;\
[12:11] <Shafto> foug, You tried installing the xinelib1 package?
[12:11] <chengzhewu> Gabz: I hope Harvey Norman ain't bull...
[12:11] <malcome> oh amorak doesnt like mp3's
[12:11] <foug> Shafto: nope, don't even know what that is
[12:11] <malcome> i havent got it on there
[12:11] <Shafto> foug, You need to un # the universe repos inside of /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:11] <xXSive> ogg is better in my opinion
[12:11] <Shafto> foug, Go in terminal, type sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:12] <foug> Shafto: i think i have them, they are checked
[12:12] <Gabz> chengzhewu:  the sales people at harvey norman only know as much as the product brouchre says
[12:12] <Shafto> foug, Find the universe repos and un # them
[12:12] <xXSive> lol
[12:12] <Shafto> foug, Try a search for xine
[12:12] <Shafto> foug, In synaptic then
[12:12] <xXSive> that is all any salesman knows
[12:12] <Gabz> chengzhewu:  my suggestion is join an australian lug
[12:12] <lucas__> olaa
[12:12] <mode7> Which package is the gflrx.ko included in? Is it restricted-modules?
[12:12] <malcome> foug- maybe try beep
[12:12] <chengzhewu> Gabz: Damn... well, anyway, is the password hexadecimal or ascii?
[12:13] <workbean> some how tetex-base was removed :-?
[12:13] <lucas__> ahaaa alguem do brasil
[12:13] <Shafto> mode7, Why dont you just reinstall using these http://www.albertomilone.com/instructions.html
[12:13] <Shafto> mode7, They are repos which have the very latest official ati drivers and nvidia too
[12:13] <Gabz> chengzhewu: my network is not protected... i actaully haven't a clue
[12:13] <mode7> ok thx i will try these
[12:13] <xXSive> those crashed x for me
[12:13] <malcome> i downloaded a theme off the internet and it is really nice but it isnt in the correct format how do i change it?
[12:13] <xXSive> maybe I did something wrong
[12:13] <foug> malcome: beep?
[12:13] <chengzhewu> Gabz: ok, I'll try both.
[12:14] <Shafto> xXSive, yeah
[12:14] <malcome> in add or remove programs
[12:14] <foug> Shafto: many things come up for xine, i allready uninstalled amarok, it didn't seem to appealing
[12:14] <Gabz> !lug
[12:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about lug - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:14] <Shafto> xXSive, Always had a problem with the other drivers but never them
[12:14] <malcome> its quite minemal but plays almost anything
[12:14] <xXSive> <-- doesn't doubt it
[12:14] <Shafto> xXSive, hehe
[12:14] <workbean> okay hopefully latex is okay after this
[12:14] <chengzhewu> Gabz: I leave it with auto, right?
[12:14] <xXSive> I liked envy but heared it was a hack
[12:14] <xXSive> (BF)
[12:14] <malcome> foug- its minemal and plays everything i think
[12:14] <Shafto> xXSive, Envy screwed x up for me
[12:14] <Gabz> chengzhewu: yeah should be right
[12:14] <foug> malcome: does it show playlist and tabs?
[12:14] <malcome> get it in add/remove
[12:15] <malcome> no
[12:15] <foug> i need something that does
[12:15] <chengzhewu> Gabz: ok, I'll take off my wired and see what happens
[12:15] <xXSive> Feisty makes it so easy the short bus kids can handle it
[12:15] <Shafto> foug, Look for xinelib1 then
[12:15] <xXSive> that is how it should be in my opinion
[12:15] <malcome> foug- it is completally minemal i would recomend bmpx if you want a bit more complex
[12:15] <xXSive> let everything else be hard, just not my graphics.. lol
[12:16] <Shafto> xXSive, Well graphics can be annoying!
[12:16] <malcome> when will 3d work on a fujistu siemens laptop?
[12:16] <Shafto> xXSive, I tried running the feisty beta, didnt really like it tbh
[12:16] <foug> Shafto: wasn't there, but my songs play with beep
[12:16] <foug> malcome: allright let me chekc it out
[12:16] <chengzhewu> I don't think it's working...

[12:31] <silverfox> Yonith, do 'sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf' and scroll down to the bit about your graphics card and under driver it should say "nv" if not change it to that
[12:31] <fyrestrtr> Merijn: why would you want that?
[12:31] <xXSive> I dunno
[12:31] <xXSive> never tried
[12:31] <xXSive> but I do know on the edgy guide there is a how to on emulating osx
[12:31] <Yonith> cause i picked nv when i did the xserver config thing
[12:31] <Merijn> fyrestrtr > because proftpd wants it
[12:32] <fyrestrtr> !nvidia
[12:32] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto

[12:41] <malcome> how can i get aero xxsive
[12:41] <kane77> chengzhewu, can you give a bit more details? (type of wifi, ubuntu version etc..)
[12:41] <xXSive> that link I dropped is wrong by the way

[12:42] <malcome> ok
[12:42] <xXSive> aero-ng or something like that
[12:42] <sacater> are there any bluetooth applications that allow me to send things to bluetooth devices, like PDA's
[12:42] <xXSive> looks like carbon fiber is why I like it
[12:42] <kane77> chengzhewu, manufacturer and chipset. do you have network manager installed?
[12:42] <malcome> did u also get preternatural from art manager
[12:42] <xXSive> yeah
[12:42] <malcome> kwl
[12:42] <Yahooadam> ugh ... why is ubuntu so hard to install
[12:43] <chengzhewu> Kane77: Manufacturer - Belkin, and apparently I shouldn't need network manager
[12:43] <justthisguy> Yahooadam: I don't know. Is it? ;P
[12:43] <malcome> xxsive- on vista it has a side bar and just in case u wanted to know i managed to get one for xp and linux/gnome
[12:43] <Yahooadam> if you dont install grub on the HDD it wants it just breaks <_<

[12:44] <Yahooadam> does anyone have any ideas, when loading (recovery mode) it stops at usb 1-2.4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[12:44] <Yahooadam> why ?
[12:44] <chengzhewu> kane77: oh - no, unless it comes with Ubuntu, I did`nt personally install it
[12:45] <xXSive> somebody got me..   maybe it was my own doing
[12:45] <Yahooadam> kane77 - try sudo ifup eth0/1/2/3 etc
[12:45] <malcome> xxsive- on vista it has a side bar and just in case u wanted to know i managed to get one for xp and linux/gnome
[12:45] <Yahooadam> depending which et your wireless card is
[12:45] <sacater> kane77: thats wrong , its, sudo ifconfig up eth0/1/2/3
[12:45] <xXSive> I'll probably never try vista

[12:49] <chengzhewu> any ideas? anyone?
[12:49] <Yahooadam> when you install ubuntu xorg is configured
[12:49] <silverfox> Yeap
[12:49] <Yonith> i had to do that stupid alternative installtion because it doesn't use xserver but now i have to deal with xserver
[12:49] <xXSive> yeah I would like to at least try it on a vm..  just so I'm not completely naive when ppl are griping about it.. lol
[12:49] <silverfox> Yonith, Did you actually install xserver?
[12:50] <silverfox> Yonith, using sudo apt-get install xorg
[12:50] <chengzhewu> ok, maybe not...
[12:50] <malcome> lol
[12:50] <Yonith> no
[12:50] <xXSive> and that link for mac look alike for xp is http://www.portraitofakite.com
[12:50] <silverfox> Yonith, Theres your problem
[12:50] <Yonith> i did dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:50] <xXSive> I knew I was close
[12:50] <Yonith> sudo in front of it all
[12:51] <silverfox> Yonith, If you did a base install the guides recommend installing xorg. Ive just done one of dapper
[12:51] <Yonith> so 'sudo apt-get install xorg' is the answer?
[12:51] <xXSive> we still have to have one xp machine in the house cuz the old lady didn't care for running her office products in the tiny vm window
[12:51] <silverfox> Yonith, Id say so
[12:51] <Yonith> k i'll try and let u know
[12:51] <malcome> xxsive- cant u maximise it?
[12:51] <xXSive> would have been fine for me, don't know what the h311 is wrong w/ her

[12:55] <YNWA> A question here - how to mount an SD card?
[12:56] <xXSive> don't have it set up on this install yet, this is still pretty much a virgin install so far
[12:56] <xXSive> (my kids birthdays and stuff, no time)
[12:56] <xXSive> demonoid is my primary
[12:56] <xXSive> and any of the others
[12:57] <Yahooadam> does anyone have any idea why ubuntu wont load, the splash comes up, progresses 1 notch, then never loads
[12:57] <xXSive> I have perfect attendance on demonoid
[12:57] <YNWA> does anyone know how to get a SD card to be recognised?
[12:57] <Yahooadam> in recovery its stopping at usb 1-2.4: config #1 chosen
[12:57] <xXSive> what is a sd card? you mean a sound card?
[12:58] <YNWA> no, the card you chuck into your digital camera
[12:58] <xXSive> oic
[12:58] <Sci0list> (secure digital)
[12:58] <YNWA> yeah that's it
[12:58] <Linuxnewbie756> so when is feisty due ou?
[12:58] <Linuxnewbie756> out?>
[12:58] <xXSive> hey that is what I have, 1 sec..  gotta see if I have issues there as well
[12:58] <posingaspopular> Linuxnewbie756: the 19th iirc
[12:58] <YNWA> I have an intergrated sd card reader but it doesn't read it
[12:59] <Linuxnewbie756> YNWA: so do i, mine works fine
[12:59] <Linuxnewbie756> YNWA: i didn't have to do anything extra, it just works
[01:00] <xXSive> Feisty atodetected mine
[01:00] <YNWA> Linuxnewbie756: it just works fine?
[01:00] <xXSive> auto*
[01:00] <YNWA> Linuxnewbie756: i.e. you plugged it in and works fine
[01:00] <sonictwin> is there a way to reformat an ipod in linux?
[01:00] <rdesh> hi
[01:00] <YNWA> damn...
[01:00] <rdesh> im looking for something that is like tsocks, except for HTTP proxies.  any ideas?
[01:00] <xXSive> a photo card has been detected  "ignore" or "import"
[01:01] <xXSive> mine is integrated as well
[01:01] <YNWA> xXsive:pardon my ignorance, what's a feisty?
[01:01] <xXSive> it's the newest version of ubuntu
[01:01] <xXSive> !Feisty
[01:01] <ubotu> The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn") should be released in April 2007. Beta is out! http://www.ubuntu.com/news/Ubuntu704Beta Schedule: !schedule - Specifications (goals): https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/feisty - Help and support in #ubuntu+1 (NOT #ubuntu)
[01:01] <kane77> YNWA, new version to come out 19th
[01:02] <YNWA> 6.10 doesn't seem to like it then?
[01:02] <Yahooadam> if i use 64bit ubuntu, will games and stuff i try and run on wine have isues ?
[01:02] <xXSive> it's stable now..  think they just want you to anticipate (at least it seems to be on my machine)
[01:02] <compengi> !paste
[01:02] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[01:03] <xXSive> yahooadam, I do know you will have issues with flash in 64bit
[01:03] <xXSive> you can get opera to fix that though
[01:03] <kane77> xXSive, hopefully gnash will be ready soon...
[01:03] <YNWA> xXsive: is your's a laptop?
[01:03] <bobbicat>  i have a problem with kubuntu adept manager
[01:03] <compengi> i can't open xine dvd player look what it gives me http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14841/
[01:03] <xXSive> not this machine, no
[01:04] <YNWA> xXive: the one that has the intergrated SD slot?
[01:04] <xXSive> right
[01:04] <YNWA> damn! mine just won't read it
[01:05] <YNWA> any programmes that might help? I couldn't get my NTFS partition to work until I got the NTFS configuration tool
[01:05] <xXSive> you should install on fat32 in my opinion
[01:05] <xXSive> but that is just my opinion
[01:06] <YNWA> WinXP don't seem to like fat 32
[01:06] <xXSive> just leave xp ntfs and make linux fat32
[01:06] <xXSive> that is another thing to love about feisty, the automated mounting during the intsall
[01:07] <YNWA> xXsive:oh, you know how on BIOS where you choose the O/S to start with, is there any way of getting rid of some of it?
[01:07] <xXSive> it mounted both partitions though, (oops)  my system recovery partition didn't need to be mounted
[01:07] <Yahooadam> OMFG why is ubuntu such a freeking pain to get going
[01:08] <Yahooadam> it just stops loading after USB
[01:08] <YNWA> xXive: like getting rid of a few of the ubuntu ones
[01:08] <xXSive> only toying in bios I ever really do is set passwords for the notebooks and set boot devices
[01:08] <xXSive> order of boot devices*
[01:08] <melinda82> hello
[01:08] <xXSive> oops
[01:09] <YNWA> xXsive: damn, cos I got about 4 Ubuntus
[01:09] <melinda82> is there any to record an audiodvd??
[01:09] <xXSive> you mean in grub
[01:09] <matutano> hi there, I have a problem, I can't use my alt key, has writing modifier, in my xgl acount, can anyone help me?
[01:10] <xXSive> grub is your boot loader, bios is something entirely different
[01:10] <YNWA> thanks anyway
[01:10] <skino> Heya Peeps.... i done as u said earlier and upgraded to the New Ubuntu and still my resolution wont go higher than 1280x1024
[01:10] <skino> n e ideas
[01:10] <xXSive> or lilo could be your boot loader
[01:10] <YNWA> yeah grub
[01:10] <YNWA> sorry
[01:10] <xXSive> doubt it though
[01:10] <xxtreme> need help installing ubuntu on 17" laptop, it says no RNG, aborting
[01:11] <skino> Heya Peeps.... i done as u said earlier and upgraded to the New Ubuntu and still my resolution wont go higher than 1280x1024
[01:11] <skino> n e ideas
[01:11] <YNWA> I just don't want to one day scroll down like 100 O/S just to get to the one I want
[01:11] <xXSive> skino, how much ram do you have?
[01:11] <kane77> skino, do you have drivers installed?
[01:11] <skino> 4 gig
[01:11] <Yonith> so i installed it and then nothing happened
[01:11] <xXSive> lol YNWA
[01:11] <Yonith> then i was just sittin there
[01:12] <skino> i was told that if i update to the new BETA ubuntu it will do it all for me
[01:12] <xXSive> 4gigs of ram, man, can I have some?
[01:12] <Yonith> i don't even know how to restart the computer when im in there
[01:12] <foug> can someone help me install flash player please? I downloaded it through Opera in a .tgz file and it came with 4 files. A .so  .xpt    .txt   and one called flashplayer-installer
[01:12] <YNWA> xXive:if I get feisty, can I just update it on top of Ubuntu?
[01:12] <YNWA> 6.10
[01:12] <xxtreme> guys, anyway around no rng, aborting on ubuntu install
[01:12] <xXSive> skino, if you install from the new ubuntu disc you will get an automated set up for mounting volumes
[01:12] <SlimeyPete> skino: is your /etc/X1/xorg.conf configured correctly? (device, monitor and screen)
[01:13] <xXSive> not sure about just upgrading though
[01:13] <xXSive> I burned the iso and did an actual install
[01:13] <skino> lol how do i configure that ?
[01:13] <skino> im a majour n00b with linux....
[01:13] <Yonith> when a shit load of stuff is displayed, how do i scroll up to read it
[01:13] <YNWA> yikes... okay, thanks xXive
[01:13] <skino> same i run the install from an ISO
[01:13] <xXSive> me2
[01:13] <foug> anyone? need help installing flash player through a .tgz
[01:13] <YNWA> Gotta go, need to wake up early for the Champions League football tomorrow
[01:14] <xXSive> just can't stop my reading, installing, and trial and error ways
[01:14] <SlimeyPete> skino: go into a terminal and type "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf". You'll want to check that the "device" section lists the correct driver, that the "monitor" section lists the correct options for your monitor and that the "screen" section lists the res you want to use.
[01:14] <Yahooadam> BOOT FFS UBUNTU BOOOOOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
[01:14] <xXSive> lol
[01:14] <SlimeyPete> skino: in theory you shouldn't have to do all this but graphics detection / drivers in Linux is still a bit immature
[01:14] <Yahooadam> this is freeking rediculous
[01:15] <xXSive> Skino, your trying to set up graphic card?
[01:15] <Yahooadam> it just stops
[01:15] <foug> help me damn it
[01:15] <SlimeyPete> foug: what's the problem? And please don't swear at us.
[01:15] <skino> ye a freind told me it shud do it all n e way
[01:15] <xXSive> admin, restricted drivers manager
[01:15] <cafuego_> Use the package, not your tgz.
[01:15] <skino> i have a good GFX card too... is it to do with the fact its PCI-E
[01:15] <xXSive> click that it will set it up for you
[01:15] <foug> my bad SlimeyPete, i don't know how to install stuff at all on Linux. I know how to go through Synaptic but that doesn't always work.
[01:15] <SlimeyPete> skino: nope, pci-e should work fine. What card?
[01:16] <foug> SlimeyPete: i just downloaded flashplayer for Opera and it came with 4 files in a .tgz, what do i do now?
[01:16] <melinda82> is there any way to burn a dvd-audio under ubuntu?
[01:16] <Yahooadam> sudo apt-get install *packagename*
[01:16] <skino> 7800GTX 256 edition
[01:16] <xXSive> melinda82, does putting in the blank disc not ask you what you want to do?
[01:16] <robin_says_hi> melinda have you tried k3b?
[01:16] <SlimeyPete> foug: having uncompressed the .tgz (tar -xvzf filename) you probably just need to run "sh < script name>" wheere "script name" is the installer script. There should be a README or INSTALL file with instructions in it.
[01:17] <xXSive> k3b is what I use..  but you should still be able to w/o it
[01:17] <SlimeyPete> skino: have you installed nvidia-glx drivers?
[01:17] <Yonith> how do i run a file from my cdrom?
[01:17] <melinda82> xXSive, yes, but no option for audio dvd
[01:17] <foug> SlimeyPete: it wants me to unpack (i take it that means UnZip in windows terms?), do i just put it anywhere i want?
[01:17] <skino> Slimey i have PMed u
[01:17] <SlimeyPete> skino: by default Ubuntu uses open-source drivers and they're not as good as the official NVidia ones (which are called nvidia-glx)
[01:17] <xXSive> what kind of audio dvd, mp3?
[01:18] <xXSive> just drag and drop the mp3's as data files
[01:18] <SlimeyPete> foug: yeah
[01:18] <xXSive> and burn
[01:18] <SlimeyPete> skino: I've not received a PM
[01:18] <jrib> Yonith: 'sh file' might work
[01:18] <skino> wierd :S lol
[01:18] <IdleOne> !register | skino SlimeyPete
[01:18] <melinda82> xXSive, that would not work in the player
[01:18] <ubotu> skino SlimeyPete: Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[01:18] <SlimeyPete> skino: I think freenode bans PMing unless you're a registered user
[01:18] <Yonith> it doesn't
[01:19] <skino> ah right ok
[01:19] <xXSive> so you want a WAV dvd
[01:19] <melinda82> xXSive, yep
[01:19] <skino> ok Nvidia GLX is installed...
[01:19] <xXSive> never tried that because I dont have player that could read wav from dvd
[01:19] <skino> Slimey... can u remote my PC??? this is stressing me out lol
[01:19] <xXSive> sorry, dunno on that one
[01:19] <SlimeyPete> skino: and have you run nvidia-xconfig from a terminal? That's easy to miss.
[01:20] <xXSive> my dvd burns are all mp3
[01:20] <Yonith> i have to do the command lspci -x to see what bus my card is on but it gets cut off.  how do i scroll up so i can see it
[01:20] <SlimeyPete> skino: can't remote-connect from here, there's a proxy in the way
[01:20] <skino> Xconfig aint installed :S
[01:20] <skino> how do i run it from Terminal
[01:20] <Yonith> sudo apt-get install xconfig     maybe
[01:20] <SlimeyPete> skino: just go into a terminal (Applications -> Accessories menu) and run "sudo nvidia-xconfig"
[01:21] <SlimeyPete> skino: that should automatically back up and update your xorg.conf
[01:21] <JesusLovesYou> good morning :D
[01:21] <skino> requires restart?
[01:21] <xXSive> gmornin'
[01:21] <Quarup> Can someone tell me once i get the driver for my wireless card working how I set it up? what tool?
[01:21] <foug> SlimeyPete: k it wants me to navigate to the unpacked directory in my terminal, how do i go about doing that?
[01:22] <SlimeyPete> skino: just restart X by pressing ctrl-alt-backspace (save your work first!)
[01:22] <jrib> !wireless > Quarup    (Quarup, see the private message from ubotu)
[01:22] <xXSive> Quarup, WPA,WEP or Free Ballin?
[01:22] <Yonith> this is bs, what other good linux distros are out there that are actually easy to install
[01:22] <SlimeyPete> foug: open a terminal (Applications -> Accessories) then type "cd" followed by the name of the directory you extracted into. "ls" will list all files and directories in the directory that you're currently in (directory = folder, in Windows-speak)
[01:23] <foug> Yonith: how are you having trouble installing ubuntu?
[01:23] <Quarup> xXSive, WEP
[01:23] <IdleOne> Yonith, Suse
[01:23] <zeroflag> still in need of help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2429829
[01:23] <skino> lol done... it came up with a Nvidia screen as usual booted in and still cant change the res to higher...
[01:23] <robin_says_hi> Anyone having trouble launching Ethereal on 6.10? Ethereal and Etherape are both installed, Etherape works just fine or is Wireshark just a substitute for Ethereal?
[01:23] <xXSive> that should be easy for you
[01:23] <Yonith> i keep gettin xserver errors....device not found
[01:23] <SlimeyPete> Yonith: Mandriva, Suse, Red Hat. But I prefer Ubuntu meself :)
[01:23] <SlimeyPete> skino: ok, you're half-way there ;)
[01:23] <xXSive> WPA is a little bit of a pain
[01:23] <jrib> Yonith: what video card do you have?
[01:23] <foug> SlimeyPete: typing cd does nothing, what do i do after i type ls? it gives me desktop, examples, music when i type ls
[01:23] <xXSive> but not too bad
[01:24] <skino> lol it says "Restricted Driver use"
[01:24] <Yonith> nvidia 8800 gtx
[01:24] <Quarup> hrm i dont see ath0 in my networking
[01:24] <SlimeyPete> foug: "cd <directory name>", not just "cd", sorry
[01:24] <jrib> Yonith: has X ever worked?
[01:24] <Yonith> and i can't seem to figure out how to install the driver i downloaded and put on cd
[01:24] <Yonith> no
[01:24] <skino> in order for this computer to funnction propoly ubuntu may be using driver software that cannont be supported
[01:24] <xXSive> system/admin/network
[01:24] <jrib> Yonith: have you tried using the "vesa" driver just so you can get into X?
[01:24] <Yonith> i can't get startx to launch
[01:25] <SlimeyPete> skino: "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf", then go to the "screen" section towards the bottom.
[01:25] <Yonith> jrib: no but why can't i just use the one i have on the cd
[01:25] <SlimeyPete> skino: You should see several lists of resolutions. Add your preferred res to the left-hand-side of each list, following the format of the other res-es, then save the file and restart X.
[01:25] <jrib> Yonith: what do you mean?
[01:25] <foug> SlimeyPete: i don't understand, can you give me an exmaple of what <directory> would look like, i type cd tmp and nothing happens
[01:25] <foug> SlimeyPete: sorry i'm erally bad at this at the moment
[01:26] <Yonith> i downloaded the driver for linux from nvida.com and burned it to a cd (all on xp)
[01:26] <SlimeyPete> foug: For instance, if I "ls" I can see that there is a directory called "src". If I type "cd src", I will enter that directory.
[01:26] <SlimeyPete> foug: np. If you've never used DOS then the Linux/Unix command-line can be a bit of a chore.
[01:26] <blblme> ???.........5555555555555555
[01:26] <Yonith> all i get to deal with is command lines
[01:26] <blblme> - -????..
[01:26] <Yonith> and i have no clue what im doing
[01:27] <jrib> Yonith: that is why I am suggesting you try vesa
[01:27] <skino> my GFX card has "Nvidia Corporation Deault card and also it says "generic monitor"
[01:27] <foug> SlimeyPete: indeed, how do i find the full directory of something easily? I right click the icon of the flash file and it doesn't tell me
[01:27] <jrib> Yonith: then you should be able to troubleshoot from X
[01:27] <foug> SlimeyPete: i do cd tmp and nothing happens
[01:28] <Yonith> one problem i think is that im not able to tell it the BUS ID that the card is on since it gets cut off when i do lspci -x
[01:28] <SlimeyPete> foug: I'm not sure, tbh. I tend to just figure it out. If you extracted the files to your desktop then they'll be in the folder called "Desktop" right after you've opened a terminal (the terminal automatically puts you in your "home" directory to start with)
[01:28] <skino> lol it also doesnt display my resolution im looking for lol only 4095 lol not 1900x1200 lol
[01:28] <SlimeyPete> foug: if you type "ls" before and after doing that, do different lists appear?
[01:28] <foug> SlimeyPete: i put them in my tmp folder
[01:28] <jube> anyone using ltsp in feisty?
[01:28] <foug> SlimeyPete: no now i type ls and nothing happens
[01:28] <foug> SlimeyPete: just keeps sayiing /Desktop$
[01:28] <Yonith> the errors from xserver say devince not found and no screens found
[01:29] <SlimeyPete> so now you're in an empty directory.
[01:29] <jrib> Yonith: your card is just too recent.  I'm getting plenty of hits on google about your card and ubuntu.  It will probably work but not out of the box
[01:29] <SlimeyPete> foug: ah, did you put them in /tmp in the root of your hard disk? DO a "cd /tmp"
[01:30] <foug> SlimeyPete: i just went ahead and put them on my desktop, the README tells me to paste $ ./flashplayer-installer
[01:30] <Yonith> NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-9755-pkg2.run  that is the 8800 linux driver
[01:30] <foug> SlimeyPete: but nothing happens
[01:30] <ferret> Yonith: That sounds self-contradictory.
[01:30] <Yonith> how
[01:30] <SlimeyPete> foug: so, you have a tmp folder on your desktop, or something? I'm confused - why were you trying to access a directory called tmp?
[01:31] <foug> SlimeyPete: well that's where i put the files originally, but i couldn't locate it in the terminal so i just moved them to the desktop
[01:31] <enyc> Does anybody know about terminfo vs. termcap... I have a need to run a program that needs /etc/termcap instead of terminfo database...
[01:32] <SlimeyPete> foug: ah right. So, now do a "cd ~/Desktop" (note the capital letter) (the terminal will automatically replace "~" with your home directory)
[01:32] <ferret> enyc: That program must be ancient. ;p
[01:32] <enyc> ferret: correct
[01:32] <foug> SlimeyPete: k i'm there and the terminal shows the 4 files on it
[01:32] <enyc> ferret: but I would like to _understand_ the relationship between termcap and terminfo... and what is the 'right' way to generate an up-to-date termcap file ;-)
[01:32] <SlimeyPete> foug: good good! Now type "./flashplayer-installer"
[01:32] <SlimeyPete> foug: "./" means "execute file"
[01:33] <foug> SlimeyPete: ahhh i got it
[01:33] <foug> SlimeyPete: thanks man, damn this is so complicated
[01:33] <enyc> ferret: do you happen to know where I can read about this?
[01:33] <jrib> Yonith: get into X with vesa then it will be easier for you to install the nvidia driver
[01:33] <SlimeyPete> foug: it's much easier than it looks at first. Once you get used to it you'll be fine.
[01:33] <seravitae> i went from using windows to not using windows in 2 weeks
[01:33] <ror> ./ doesn't mean anything; . is your current directory, / is a directory separator
[01:33] <SlimeyPete> foug: you shouldn't need to use the terminal that much in ubuntu anyway
[01:33] <ferret> enyc: I have a termcap man page on my system (despite not having /etc/termcap)
[01:33] <seravitae> now i dont think i can use windows heh
[01:33] <ror> so ./foo is foo in your current directory
[01:33] <enyc> ferret: its actually an ancient database system using linuxabi compatibility (used to run on a (uugh!) SCO system), and it definitely needs /etc/termcap
[01:33] <foug> SlimeyPete: do you know a lot about ubuntu/linux?
[01:34] <SlimeyPete> ror: oh... of course. I'd not put two and two together. Doh.
[01:34] <seravitae> yeah.
[01:34] <seravitae> ./whatever will only work if the file has been chmod +x ;d
[01:34] <seravitae> chmod +x 'd
[01:34] <SlimeyPete> foug: a reasonable amount
[01:34] <foug> SlimeyPete: is there a way so my taskbar shows buttons only and is no text? i like my stuff small and compact
[01:34] <ror> you can do sh ./foo if it hasn't been marked +x if it's a shell script
[01:34] <foug> SlimeyPete: it's really buggy, i uncheck expand and it usually doesn't do it
[01:34] <seravitae> there's an osx-style docker i think.
[01:35] <ferret> enyc: packages.ubuntu.com reports three random packages that contain termcap files, you might download and unpack the .deb files of those and take a look at them for example.  Also, try googling 'man termcap', the man page I have looks pretty helpful.
[01:35] <SlimeyPete> foug: dunno, sorry. I use Kubuntu rather than Ubuntu, so my interface is different to yours.
[01:35] <enyc> ferret: Ive cot the page open... thanks!
[01:35] <jube> ltsp problem: sound gets messed up when I login on the server as a user who has previously logged from the thin client. Also, the logout/shutdown/hibernate menu causes X to freeze. Seems that logging in on the thin client messes up the home directory settings so they don't work if you later login as that user from the server. Is this normal?
[01:35] <foug> SlimeyPete: what is kubuntu? whole diff OS?
[01:35] <ror> kubuntu is KDE version
[01:35] <SlimeyPete> foug: same OS, different face.
[01:36] <jube> (everything works fine as long as I don't try to use the same user accounts on both the thin client and ltsp server... Not sure if I'm supposed to be able to do that or not.)
[01:36] <ror> which given KDE is slower and uglier than GNOME not sure why people use it these days
[01:36] <ror> at least until QT4 is out
[01:36] <SlimeyPete> foug: in Linux, there ar elots of different "desktop environments" / "window managers" to choose from. They provide the graphical interface.
[01:36] <xXSive> Linus T. prefers it..  lol
[01:36] <SlimeyPete> ror: I think it's prettier, and I find it to be about the same speed. I used to hate it, but I've come around.
[01:36] <foug> SlimeyPete: so it's ubuntu with KDE and not GNOME?
[01:36] <SlimeyPete> foug: yep
[01:37] <ror> the KDE apps are often a little better th
[01:37] <ror> also amaroK is QT :(
[01:37] <xXSive> LT's view on gnome:  http://applications.linux.com/article.pl?sid=07/02/16/1937237&from=rss
[01:38] <foug> SlimeyPete: are there skins or themes available for ubuntu? maybe that's what i need.
[01:38] <murr4y> hi, i downloaded a theme and put it into /usr/share/themes/xfw4/THEME but its still not listed in the window manager settings (xfce)
[01:38] <xXSive> JiLeT's log out is funny
[01:38] <ror> foug, you mean skins for gtk/gnome? plenty
[01:38] <ror> try the ximian industrial theme, it's pretty nice
[01:39] <murr4y> foug: gnome-look.org
[01:39] <foug> ror: well, when i used Windows I had used LiteStep for years then switched to SharpE right before linux. I had all my stuff in one corner never going across the full screen
[01:39] <foug> murr4y: aye, allready there trying to figure it out hehe
[01:39] <foug> murr4y: GDM themes?
[01:40] <foug> in a video i saw them turn their desktops into a cube, which theme is that?
[01:40] <seravitae> that's not a theme
[01:40] <seravitae> that's beryl
[01:40] <xXSive> Beryl
[01:40] <murr4y> foug: i would take gtk 2.x
[01:40] <seravitae> a composite manager
[01:40] <foug> Beryl eh? i read that that isn't safe
[01:40] <foug> murr4y: rgr
[01:40] <xXSive> beryl is precious eye candy
[01:40] <seravitae> i've been using beryl for like, 3 months at least.
[01:40] <seravitae> what do you mean not safe
[01:41] <ror> foug, if you like minimalism try fluxbox
[01:41] <ror> it's not a desktop environment just a window manager, so runs a lot faster, is very configurable and is neat
[01:41] <ror> beryl is eyecandy++
[01:41] <larson9999> woah, my speakers have an echo.  crap-ola
[01:41] <seravitae> beryl is sex, but i have it
[01:41] <foug> ror: hmm i don't want super small i just like things outta my way hehe
[01:41] <xXSive> lol
[01:41] <murr4y> does somebody use xubuntu here?
[01:41] <foug> can i install beryl and just have the cube? or will it come with everything else?
[01:42] <Yonith> so to access files on a cd  all i have to do is type sh and the filename?
[01:42] <delcoyote> hi all i am having a problem trying to install drivers for sony eye toy cam ,im following a howto from ubuntu ,but i get an error with this command : sudo insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/extra/ov519_decomp.ko anyone knows about this?
[01:42] <murr4y> foug: u can turn off what you don't like
[01:42] <xXSive> I have xubuntu installed on an older machine but I rarely ever touch that comp
[01:42] <seravitae> foug: installing beryl is a bit more complicated
[01:42] <foug> seravitae: is it? damn it...
[01:42] <seravitae> i suggest you learn more about linux in general
[01:42] <ror> to access a CD you (may) have to mount /mnt/cdrom then cd /mnt/cdrom
[01:42] <seravitae> it isn't hard, but it is maybe, err, 'level 5' :P
[01:42] <seravitae> and you are still level 1 novice.
[01:42] <xXSive> installing bery isn't that bad as long as you can get your graphic card drivers installed
[01:42] <foug> lmao
[01:43] <ror> you should get your gfx card drivers installed properly even if you don't run beryl
[01:43] <ror> speed up loads of stuff like movies
[01:43] <seravitae> download the installer, install it, wait for the errors, add missing dependancies, then reinstall, then setup xorg.conf, then install beryl
[01:43] <foug> how do i go about doing that?
[01:43] <berent> guys here is a chance for you to prove who u are
[01:43] <seravitae> and hope nothing messes up :P
[01:43] <foug> my Ubuntu has been run kind of..not so good.
[01:43] <berent> guys here is a chance for you to prove who u are
[01:43] <seravitae> berent: guys who say that are stupid
[01:43] <larson9999> beryl was a snap here.  just had to find the right debs.  but i don't get it.  i like me 2d desktop.
[01:44] <berent> seravitae : what about girls
[01:44] <seravitae> girls aren't stupid. they're insane.
[01:44] <xXSive> I like the light weight version on feisty myself
[01:44] <murr4y> the only good thing about beryl is the composite feature
[01:44] <berent> seravitae : perfect
[01:44] <berent> seravitae : so u want to solve it
[01:45] <xXSive> not sure if it's beryl compiz or what it is.. it just works right out of the box
[01:45] <seravitae> you had me at "hello"
[01:45] <Pooky> gah, my network-admin tool disappeared >.<
[01:45] <xXSive> and that is lovely in my eyes
[01:45] <tennlaw207> does anyone know how to configure cpan?
[01:45] <stone123_> quit the offtopic berent  and seraphim
[01:45] <berent> seravitae : which is the command / program which lists out the startup programs in ubuntu
[01:45] <seravitae> berent: there isn't one.
[01:46] <berent> stone123_ : which is the command / program which lists out the startup programs in ubuntu
[01:46] <seravitae> there is init.d directory which determinces *services* on bootup
[01:46] <seravitae> then there is gnome's session manager startup list which determines programs autorun on session commencement.
[01:46] <xXSive> anyways, been kinda nice ch@'N with you ppl, but breakfast is calling..   have a good morning/evening
[01:46] <berent> seravitae : gnome session manager - where is it
[01:47] <seravitae> gnome system panel.
[01:47] <berent> but it doesnt list all
[01:47] <seravitae> yes it does.
[01:47] <berent> i want something like msconfig in dos
[01:48] <seravitae> what the heck does msconfig have to do with a program on startup?
[01:48] <berent> msconfig has a tab like startup where all startup are listed
[01:48] <seravitae> ...
[01:48] <seravitae> linux != windows.
[01:48] <seravitae> i told you the two places
[01:48] <rambo3> berent, good luck finding msconfig  in DOS
[01:49] <seravitae> the session manager startup list, for programs in sessions, and the init.d directory for SERVICES.
[01:49] <berent> ok i know but linux > windows .like lets say i have a database starting at startup now i want to disable it
[01:49] <rambo3> !bum
[01:49] <seravitae> either way, i dont think you should be touching either.
[01:49] <seravitae> a database, or a database server?
[01:49] <seravitae> databases don't "start"
[01:49] <berent> database server
[01:50] <seravitae> so disable the appropriate function in init.d
[01:50] <seravitae> probably mysqld or something
[01:50] <seravitae> depending on what daemon you used
[01:50] <ror> berent, there's a really nice thing in gentoo called rc-update which changes which services run on startup
[01:50] <rambo3> barnie, esiest is mv /etc/init.d/program /etc/init.d/program_backup
[01:51] <berent> haaaan ror that was what i wanted lemme try it
[01:51] <ror> anyway, ubuntu has update-rc.d
[01:51] <rambo3> using update-rc.d for removing service on startup is unescessery
[01:52] <berent> then how
[01:52] <ror> unneccesary but easier
[01:53] <zacol> Quit
[01:53] <bimberi> !info bum | berent
[01:53] <ubotu> berent: bum: graphical runlevel editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.1.7-1 (edgy), package size 80 kB, installed size 524 kB
[01:53] <berent> wow bimberi lemme try that
[01:54] <gesus> anyone know how to setup gossip to talk to MSN contacts??
[01:56] <oldude67> good morning
[01:56] <Mauro> hi, I have troubles in installing Ubuntu (or any other linux distro) in a system with 2 SATA hdd that I want make RAID 1. In the bios I have set RAID for the controller mode, then I have configured the 2 disks in RAID-1 in the raid tool builted into the bios. But Linux see always two different SATA disks... How can I do so that Linux see only one RAID-1 hd?
[01:57] <infoclog> is the main apache configuration file httpd.conf or apache2.conf ?
[01:57] <infoclog> in kubuntu ?
[01:57] <gesus> anyone know how to setup gossip to talk to MSN contacts??
[01:58] <SlimeyPete> Mauro: is your RAID controller supported by Linux?
[01:58] <Mauro> I don't know
[01:58] <bef> Kubuntu is Ubuntu for U, K.
[01:58] <Mauro> How can I see?
[01:58] <Mauro> My mobo is a Sapphire with ATI chipset (SB600 southbridge)
[01:58] <bef> !easycam
[01:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about easycam - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:58] <bimberi> berent: note that it creates a menu entry at System -> Administration -> BootUp-Manager
[01:58] <SlimeyPete> Mauro: google for "SB600 Linux", or something similar
[01:59] <tonyf> how can i copy under nautilus preserving file modification times? similar to cp -p
[01:59] <berent> oh yes bimberi i got it
[01:59] <Mauro> SlimeyPete: yes I have done it already... But I haven't found anything
[01:59] <Mauro> it seems to me that no many people want to install raid on Linux
[01:59] <tennlaw207> gkrellm rocks!!!
[02:00] <SlimeyPete> Mauro: hmm, dunno then. Lots of people use RAID on Linux, but mostly it's only used on servers. Home users often use Linux Software RAID
[02:00] <Mauro> And how can I do software raid?
[02:00] <tennlaw207> i have gkrellm configured to show a live radar display of the weather in my area (Houston, TX), and it works perfect!
[02:00] <Mauro> There is no such option in the distro installer
[02:01] <zeroflag> what does liloconfig mean by "Ithink you're configuring the base filesystem[...] "?
[02:01] <SlimeyPete> Mauro: I'm not sure if the Ubuntu installer will let you do it, to be honest. The Alternate Install CD might.
[02:01] <SlimeyPete> Mauro: mdadm is the tool you use to set up software RAID under Linux, but I'm not sure how you set it up if you haven't already got Linux installed!
[02:02] <Mauro> I'm downloading Fedora 7 test3. Maybe it has more support for my mobo. If it doesn't work, I think I will back to Window$
[02:03] <Mauro> anyway thanks
[02:04] <ferkimi> hi when the new version is scheduled out ?
[02:04] <zeroflag> Mauro: what mainboard?
[02:04] <zeroflag> ferkimi: #ubuntu+1
[02:05] <battlesquid> i can't figure out the keyring manager (although it seems simple, there's no way to add keys.. only keyrings) and i don't want to use KDE apps... for a number of reasons. what can i do?
[02:06] <Pici> ferkimi: 4/19
[02:06] <ferkimi> ok thx
[02:12] <Ginja_Ninja> hello. I think i have some strange permissions problem. Example. My first user has a nice screensaver, but my second user just gets the bit white X, permissions ?

[02:27] <age6racer> anyone? manual unpacking .deb files? surely someone knows the command...
[02:27] <albert> is there a way of combining two epiphany windows to one window with 2 tabs?
[02:27] <albert> (f.e.)
[02:28] <lu-bao> albert when you can make settings at epiphany that it uses tabs then yeah you can just search through your option menu inside epiphany :)
[02:28] <lu-bao> if you find a tabbing section then you can be happy ^^
[02:28] <hackMyIpod> hi
[02:29] <albert> i'm not happy :D
