[03:47] <rryan> Arrick : Can you confirm whether rewrite.load exists in /etc/apache2/mods-available, and that it exists in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled ?
[03:47] <rryan> Arrick : ah ok
[03:47] <marjan> k nikrud
[03:47] <rryan> Arrick : So, what indicator do you have that mod_rewrite is not enabled?
[03:47] <Arrick> my CMS would let me enable clean urls if it were working rryan ;')
[03:47] <brent113> joanki: I'm thinking you might try to reconfigure gnome-session
[03:47] <vocx> bastid_raZor, what are you trying to install, I did a "aptitude search libgnomeui" and there is 2.6, but not 2.8.
[03:48] <bhlewis> Peg: I did mis-place a parenthesis.  Corrected here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60688/
[03:48] <joanki> how do i do that, brent113
[03:48] <joanki> and will it override my stuffs?
[03:48] <theBOBster> OK i think i got it right ... my lspci is on pastebin (http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60686)
[03:48] <rryan> Arrick : is it possible your CMS is misconfigured ? Has the CMS ever worked under another system ?
[03:48] <Arrick> rryan, it works on every system I've been on so far
[03:48] <Arrick> its drupal
[03:48] <bastid_raZor> vocx; netspeed.. i am actually trying to compile the latest version.. 0.13 seems to be having issues which is what the repo's have.
[03:49] <marjan> now i wait nikrud?
[03:49] <rryan> Arrick : Do you have an .htaccess file that says "RewriteEngine" On in it?
[03:49] <brent113> joanki: this is a pretty big step.  It would reset all gnome options to the default when it was installed originally.  I'm hesitant to tell you to do that, so I'm hoping someone else might know about this issue
[03:49] <nikrud> marjan one more piece of info:   lspci | grep -i vga
[03:49] <tehn00b> Starnestommy, does it have to be a hostname, or will an IP address work?
[03:49] <nikrud> marjan looking it over
[03:49] <joanki> brent113, could i do that w/o overriding my home?
[03:49] <joanki> if so, i don't mind, i've got al lmy settings saved
[03:49] <Arrick> let me look
[03:49] <bastid_raZor> vocx; possibly that is why 0.14 isn't working.. this version of gnome/ubuntu doesn't use those versions.
[03:49] <joanki> in a text file that is
[03:49] <hischild> whenever i play video, after a few minutes it stutters for a few seconds after it goes on, after which it keeps on doing this.
[03:50] <Starnestommy> tehn00b: it can be either
[03:50] <Peg> bhlewis: oha how does the OOO_OOO work?
[03:50] <Rayford> Hey
[03:50] <brent113> joanki: it would be safe to backup your home directory before something like this
[03:50] <Rayford> anyone have an old Panasonic TOughbook?
[03:50] <Arrick> rryan, doesnt look like it
[03:50] <joanki> i don't have a backup drive tho
[03:50] <rryan> Arrick : Also, have you written your own configuration for the site in sites-enabled ? Or are you using the one that came with the apache package? The default setting is to not allow overrides from .htaccess files.
[03:50] <brent113> joanki: if you have room, just copy it to /var or something
[03:50] <joanki> hm anyone else on here, brent113 that's pretty knowledeable about ubuntu?
[03:50] <tehn00b> Starnestommy, I'm not sure what's wrong then, I've delcared it as <IP_ADDRESS>, but when I point my browser to that URI it gives me nothing :-/
[03:50] <Arrick> I set override all on rryan
[03:51] <joanki> to /var? it won't override that?
[03:51] <marjan> hmmmmmm cant found it nikrud
[03:51] <rryan> Arrick : K, then you should add RewriteEngine On in a .htaccess file in the root of your site
[03:51] <Rayford> No toughbook owners?
[03:51] <rryan> Arrick : See if that helps
[03:51] <tehn00b> Starnestommy, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60689/
[03:51] <Arrick> these are the requirements for what the CMS says rryan http://drupal.org/node/15365
[03:51] <vocx> bastid_raZor, well I saw the dependencies of 0.13 and libgnomeui doesn't appear, but maybe it's included in one of the other packages. Then you need to get the new lib too.
[03:51] <nikrud> marjan ah, sorry.   system->accessories->terminal ,   copy and paste    lspci | grep -i vga    there, you should get back one line of info
[03:51] <bhlewis> Peg: that's the end marker for a "here doc".  Basically the construct "<< anything" means redirect standard input from the lines following until you see the "anything" again.  If you put the "anything" in single-quotes, then the shell won't do any substitution in the redirection area
[03:51] <Arrick> where can I get a template of the .htaccess from rryan ?
[03:51] <brent113> Ok, open broadcast for assistance: anyone have experience with Gnome Settings Daemon failing to start, and how to fix it
[03:52] <Arrick> ojj
[03:52] <Starnestommy> tehn00b: are you getting "connection refused" or a blank page?
[03:52] <Arrick> I dint see it there
[03:52] <bhlewis> Peg: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here_document
[03:52] <khaotik> can anyone help me get my wireless working on my laptop??
[03:52] <marjan> aham and then
[03:52] <bastid_raZor> vocx; libpanelapplet-2.0 and libgtop-2.0 are the two packages the compile states i need. which i am unable to find either.
[03:52] <joanki> hm
[03:52] <tehn00b> Starnestommy, "connection refused"
[03:52] <rryan> Arrick : The .htaccess doesn't need anything in it except 'RewriteEngine On' on a single line.
[03:52] <Starnestommy> tehn00b: is apache2 running?
[03:53] <josh> how do i check to see if my kernel supports serial
[03:53] <brent113> joanki: I have had this happen before and the only way I resolved it was to reinstall.  That's a terrible thing to have to do in Linux, but it will fix it
[03:53] <marjan> nikrud: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 SE] (rev 01)
[03:53] <rryan> Arrick : Optionally you can wrap it in <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> and </IfModule> so that it won't error if mod_rewrite is not enabled.
[03:53] <hischild> whenever i play video, after a few minutes it stutters for a few seconds after it goes on, after which it keeps on doing this. When compiz is enabled video playback is not possible as the result is just scrambled video. When using metacity the result is as described.
[03:53] <khaotik> i used to have it working fine until i did a reinstall
[03:53] <joanki> ahhhh alright
[03:53] <tehn00b> Starnestommy, yes, it is
[03:53] <joanki> tomorrow i'll just buy a cd and back everything up there
[03:53] <FourX4Luvn> Anyone care to explain this to me, please?.....   http://pastebin.com/d4a9cc325
[03:53] <nikrud> marjan ok. and you have a phillips 107e6 monitor?
[03:53] <khaotik> i have tried doing it the same way but that does not work now. ant suggestions
[03:53] <marjan> yes sir
[03:53] <khaotik> any suggestions???
[03:54] <Starnestommy> tehn00b: is port 80 open?
[03:54] <brent113> joanki: if you want to try to reconfigure gnome, here is the command: http://pastebin.com/m5f9ced90
[03:54] <nikrud> marjan ok. A sec while I do some editing in your /etc/X11/org.conf
[03:54] <joanki> thanks brent
[03:54] <vocx> bastid_raZor, well, those two do appear in the netspeed0.13 dependencies. But I checked launchpad, and 0.14 is in Hardy Heron, so you may just wait a few weeks.
[03:54] <marjan> 10x :)
[03:54] <cory__> Hey whats up guys
[03:54] <josh> how do i check to see if my kernel supports serial (on my tablet laptop)
[03:54] <brent113> good luck joanki
[03:54] <rryan> Arrick : I've never used drupal though. When you said you did 'AllowOveride all', were you following their instructions? Or did you add it to the virtual host ubuntu sets up 'default' in sites-enabled
[03:54] <tehn00b> Starnestommy, yea, normal web-browsing isn't a problem
[03:54] <ani1> FourX4Luvn: the syntax to ssh should be ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>if you want to set a name for it add lin-server in /etc/hosts
[03:54] <cory__> Anyone know how to fix this?? Could not open the file /home/cory/Desktop/NVIDI…Linux-x86-169.12-pkg1.run using the Unicode (UTF-8) character coding.
[03:55] <Arrick> 000-default rryan
[03:55] <Starnestommy> tehn00b: is it open to incoming connections?
[03:55] <rryan> Arrick : gotcha... I'm assuming you added it in the <Directory /var/www/> group?
[03:55] <bastid_raZor> vocx; okay,, possibly may you be able to troubleshoot my netspeed 0.13 issue then?.. when trying to select a different interface to monitor the drop down menu is shaded out and i'm unable to select eth0
[03:55] <brent113> cory_: set the executable permission and run it in a terminal
[03:55] <ani1> FourX4Luvn: and point <IP_ADDRESS> towards it
[03:55] <tehn00b> Starnestommy, how would I go about checking that?
[03:55] <Arrick> yeah
[03:55] <cory__> trying to install nvidia 8800gt Graphics drivers
[03:55] <brent113> chomod a+x ./NVi.......
[03:55] <cory__> Oh ok, Thanks BRent
[03:56] <brent113> cory: chmod, sorry, typing is atrocious
[03:56] <Starnestommy> tehn00b: try this: run 'telnet localhost 80', then type in 'GET / HTTP/1.1' then hit enter twice
[03:56] <nikrud> marjan take a look at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60690/
[03:56] <marjan> and
[03:56] <vocx> bastid_raZor, hahaha, never used netspeed. Will install now!
[03:56] <marjan> c/p
[03:56] <Starnestommy> tehn00b: er, HTTP/1.0 not HTTP/1.1
[03:56] <FourX4Luvn> ani1: The hostname resolves just fine.  (If I do 'host lin-server' I get back the address).  But why would ssh not resolve the name?  I can ftp to it by name, I can view it in a web browser by name.  Only ssh can't connect
[03:56] <gluer> desktop sidebar for ubuntu? does one exist?
[03:56] <gyaresu_away> Starnestommy: tehn00b 'nc -zv localhost 1-1024'
[03:56] <tehn00b> Starnestommy, telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
[03:57] <rryan> Arrick : What does your folder setup look like ? Is drupal served from the root ? Is this all in /var/www ? Is it in a subfolder ? When you go to your site, do you do example.com/drupal or is it just example.com ?
[03:57] <AdemoS> brent113, yeah all 32 bit stuff, thanks anyway
[03:57] <Arrick> /var/www
[03:57] <brent113> ademos: ah, well it was worth a look
[03:57] <nikrud> marjan we're going to make 3 changes in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.  First we'll make a backup of what you have.  Do you still have that terminal open?
[03:57] <bluecake1> how to capture text on terminal? %ls > log.txt , something like that, but i am using telenet session on xterm/gnome terminal.
[03:57] <pimplife> how do i use gparted
[03:57] <rryan> Arrick : It looks like Drupal should have a .htaccess file in its root directory, is it there?
[03:57] <Starnestommy> tehn00b: try sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 restart
[03:57] <Ibback> Hello...is there any virtualization program that can support faxing in ubuntu 7.10?
[03:57] <Arrick> no
[03:57] <bastid_raZor> vocx; heh, i've not had any issues until i started messing with AWN and i added a repo that apparently conflicted with things that crashed gnome.. after i undid all my mistakes there netspeed is the last issue to correct
[03:57] <Arrick> I creatred one
[03:57] <cory__> brent i only caught the first part. chomod a+x Then what?
[03:57] <marjan> no
[03:57] <cory__> chmod i mean
[03:57] <nikrud> marjan  then  apps->accessories->terminal
[03:57] <FourX4Luvn> ani1: Incidentally, I can ssh from the same computer to a different computer using 'ssh <hostname>' just fine too.  It's only this one computer that I can't ssh to by name.
[03:57] <brent113> cory: cd to the directory it's in.  Then chmod a+x ./[name of teh file]
[03:58] <josh> hwo to i test to see if my kernel supports serial connections
[03:58] <cory__> oh ok thanks
[03:58] <brent113> you don't need the ./ though
[03:58] <rryan> Arrick : in /var/www ? Is Drupal in a subfolder ? It looks like a .htaccess should be there, and it should have this text: http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/drupal/.htaccess?view=markup
[03:58] <marjan>  lspci | grep -i vga???
[03:58] <tehn00b> Starnestommy, it restarted, but I still can't connect
[03:58] <cory__> i just started using ubuntu / Linux today
[03:58] <Arrick> its root is /var/www rryan
[03:58] <vocx> bastid_raZor, okay, I installed it. Where is it
[03:58] <bastid_raZor> vocx; netspeed is actually saving me valuable resources by allowing me to not put extra weight in conky.
[03:58] <marjan> just to open a terminal?
[03:59] <cory__> cd ~Desktop
[03:59] <Starnestommy> tehn00b: pastebin your /etc/apache2/ports.conf
[03:59] <cory__> oops wrong window
[03:59] <nikrud> marjan no
[03:59] <rryan> Arrick : k, and when you to your site, you see the drupal pages, but with non-clean urls?   Try replacing the .htaccess you made with the one in the link I just wrote.
[03:59] <Gopher> http://jeffbyrd.kicks-ass.net/FUCKYEAH.jpg
[03:59] <Gopher> wrong place, sry
[03:59] <nikrud> marjan and you should use my nick when you type, it's red on my screen and I don't miss what you say
[03:59] <bhlewis> FourX4Luvn: is the reverse DNS setup correctly for that host?
[03:59] <tehn00b> Starnestommy, bingo, it was set to 8080
[03:59] <marjan> i know
[03:59] <brent113> cory: if you're trying to install the nvidia drivers, try opening the restricted driver manager and using it instead (System->Administration)
[03:59] <bastid_raZor> vocx; add it to the panel;; it should be listed under System & hardware when in the add to panel options.
[03:59] <marjan> i know nikrud
[03:59] <Gralco> i cant find font menu
[03:59] <marjan> :P
[03:59] <nikrud> marjan in that terminal, type    cd /etc/X11 , that will move you to the right director
[04:00] <pimplife> damn this ubuntu it still wont install
[04:00] <marjan> i did nikrud
[04:00] <cory__> bah how do i set desktop.. cd ????
[04:00] <cory__> Set terminal to desktop i mean
[04:00] <Gralco> where is font menu?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
[04:01] <kdorf> cory__: cd ~/Desktop
[04:01] <hischild> whenever i play video, after a few minutes it stutters for a few seconds after it goes on, after which it keeps on doing this. When compiz is enabled video playback is not possible as the result is just scrambled video. When using metacity the result is as described.
[04:01] <ani1> FourX4Luvn: yeah not too sure thats pretty weird when im inside of my network i always just use the ip as i only  have a few machines
[04:01] <cory__> Thanks :)
[04:01] <nikrud> marjan ok, now type   sudo cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.before.nikrud.messed.about
[04:01] <brent113> cory: try the Restricted Driver Manager though first
[04:01] <nikrud> marjan or any stuff after .conf that you'll remember
[04:01] <Gralco> where is font menu?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
[04:01] <tehn00b> Starnestommy, thanks for the help, I got it working now
[04:01] <vocx> bastid_raZor, woot! I'm uploading at 5 KB/s.    By the way, I already had another "network-monitor"... where did that come from?
[04:02] <marjan> k nikrud

[04:02] <nikrud> marjan ok, next type   gksudo gedit xorg.conf
[04:02] <Gralco> Starnestommy, thanks
[04:02] <kdorf> cory__: I'd really recommend trying restricted drivers. I've fudged up my linux install messing with downloaded NVIDIA drivers
[04:02] <Piero_Scaruffi> This isnt working for me asoundconf set-default-card Headset  i am unable to hear sound from my blue tooth headset i followed all the instructions so can i please get some more help troubleshooting
[04:03] <marjan> nikrud: done nikrud
[04:03] <cory__> let me see what i can come up with kdorf.. Trying to figure that out now :)
[04:03] <vocx> bastid_raZor, hey, I can't select another interface, it's grayed out. But probably that's because I only have one interface, so what gives?
[04:03] <nikrud> marjan now, if you look at   http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60690/  , line 86 , you'll see I changed vesa to ati. Make the same change.
[04:04] <Rubie> i basically have a similar problem to this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=319422  except it's a wpa-psk can somebody help

[04:04] <cory__> it says none of my hardware requires retricted drivers
[04:04] <Arrick> lol., rryan now I have to reset the user on the cms, bbib
[04:04] <rryan> Arrick : did it have clean urls though ?
[04:04] <rryan> Arrick : If not, try this: Look for the line in the .htaccess that says "# RewriteBase /", remove the '#' at the beginning of the line. Save it and then restart apache.
[04:04] <cory__> Like i said, ive never dealt with ubuntu so im kinda lost here
[04:04] <Arrick> I cant tell without being able to login rryan
[04:05] <kdorf> cory__: go to System -> Administration -> Screens & Graphics. What is your gfx card listed as?
[04:05] <bastid_raZor> vocx; that is my question.. but i have VMWare and that has created several other monitorable devices.. but you should be able to select 'lo' .. that is even an option in network-monitor
[04:05] <marjan> can i copy past the all tex. nikrud
[04:05] <nikrud> marjan yes
[04:05] <rryan> Arrick : Does the site show up at all ? Is it that you are stuck a login form and can't log in, or does nothing show up?
[04:06] <vocx> bastid_raZor, oh, that's one big small detail, a virtual machine. So is Ubuntu guest or Host?

[04:08] <vocx> bastid_raZor, and you say that VMWare created other interfaces, like eth1, eth2, eth3... Well I've never used VMWare in Linux, so I'm not experienced with it.

[04:08] <josh> how do i test to see if my kenrel supports serial
[04:08] <Starnestommy> Gralco: it's in Places > Computer and several other areas
[04:08] <rryan> josh : you mean serial ports?
[04:08] <ani1> Gralco: everywhere and nowhere at once...its under places home its the file explorer type nautilus in terminal
[04:09] <ani1> you'll see
[04:09] <bastid_raZor> vocx; it created ones like vm8 vm1 and vm3.. i'm guessing vmX is for each of the 3 i have internet enabled.
[04:09] <josh> ya
[04:09] <rryan> josh : did you compile your own kernel? If not then I'm 99% sure it does :).
[04:09] <Gralco> anil i did earlier Nautilus is not a command
[04:10] <rryan> josh : the file /dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyS1, /dev/ttyS2 .. and so on are your serial ports
[04:10] <ani1> Gralco: small n  as in nautilus
[04:10] <vocx> bastid_raZor, and those are readily visible when you do "ifconfig"?
[04:10] <ani1> Gralco: everything is case sensitive
[04:10] <Ibback> Hellooooooooooooooo...can some1 pls help
[04:10] <josh> rryan : if they are there they my kenrela supports serial?
[04:10] <cory__> That didnt work out so well.. let me try again
[04:10] <ani1> !ask | Ibback
[04:10] <Piero_Scaruffi> asoundconf set-default-card Headset My bluetooth headset wont play sound i nonded the device but the device wont show up in devices in the soundmanager
[04:10] <ubotu> Ibback: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[04:10] <FourX4Luvn> Ok.. different pastebin that should illustrate what I'm experiencing a bit better.  Anyone have any ideas please?  http://pastebin.com/d1765b2a6
[04:10] <Ibback> Ok...thank
[04:11] <rryan> josh : Yes, but i'm telling you, no default kernel that comes with Ubuntu has ever not supported serial. Trust me :)
[04:11] <bastid_raZor> vocx; yes.. vmnet8 and vmnet1 are both visible along with lo and eth0
[04:11] <Arrick> how do I tell the permissions of a directory?
[04:11] <nikrud> josh lsmod | grep serial , if you have serial ports you should see serial_cs
[04:11] <josh> i'm using debian
[04:11] <Ibback> I just need to know if there is any virtualization out there that can support faxing
[04:11] <nikrud> josh don't say that here ;)
[04:11] <rryan> josh : I'm almost positive that default debian kernels for desktop machines wouldn't be compiled without support either.
[04:11] <xpistos_> hey everyone. Newb here just jumping in chat for the first time
[04:11] <FourX4Luvn> Ibback: Not sure about any of the others, but I know VMWare supports it.
[04:11] <Arrick> nikrud, arent all the users here using debian in a sense?
[04:11] <rryan> josh : also, this channel is for ubuntu support :)
[04:11] <kdorf> xpistos_: welcome
[04:12] <nikrud> Arrick yes. But #debian can be harsh
[04:12] <josh> i ddint' get any output when i ran that
[04:12] <rryan> josh : What are you trying to do with your serial port that makes you think it isn't working / isn't supported
[04:12] <cory__> well that didnt work at all also, it just replaced it with VESA again
[04:12] <Ibback> sorry fourx4luvn...i hv tried...but it do not support
[04:12] <Bozza_> gyaresu:still here? oxy only lets me install joomla
[04:12] <Arrick> lol nikrud
[04:12] <kdorf> cory__: selecting "nv" or "nvidia" just switched it back to "vesa"?
[04:12] <bastid_raZor> vocx; when i go to the preferences of Netspeed it shows Network device: vmnet8 and is shaded .. odd that it chose a VM-nic over a true one
[04:12] <Piero_Scaruffi> asoundconf set-default-card Headset i tried to apply this setting but i still cant hear any sound from my bluetooth headset device
[04:12] <rryan> Arrik : did the clean urls work ?
[04:13] <Arrick> rryan, how do I tell the permissions on a file on 6.06.1?
[04:13] <xpistos_> can anybody tell me what is good default size for my linux part?
[04:13] <Arrick> not yet
[04:13] <Bozza_> does anyone know joomla ?
[04:13] <ross`__> configure: error: PhysicsFS lib not found! Get PhysicsFS from http://icculus.org/physfs/ i got the only physicsfs package there is
[04:13] <josh> i'm configuring my tablet, i have a tablet pc. It is a finepoint tablet not a wacom, which is harder to configure
[04:13] <Arrick> i have to redo some stuff on the install
[04:13] <AdemoS> One more issue: Ubuntu 7.10 64 bit; Whenever I try to drag a volume manager or trash applet from the Gnome Panel menu, it gives me these errors http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/7043/twopanelerrorsqf4.png
[04:13] <ross`__> can anyone think of what the issue is
[04:13] <cory__> Yeah, selecting NV and Nvidia, also selected by name and set for Nvidia 8 series
[04:13] <xpistos_> I am dual booting and I want to know how big I can make my Vfat part
[04:13] <CDOG> Hi does anyone know if there is a log file somewhere where i can see the times. users logged in into ubuntu? I think someone has been loggin into my account. Thanks
[04:13] <Bozza_> how do i list all channels
[04:13] <rryan> Arrick : ls -l 'filename' will tell you
[04:13] <kdorf> cory__: what card do you have? I'm running an 8800GTX and haven't experienced any issues.
[04:13] <cory__> It says it will take affect when i log off then back on, but when i do it comes back in low graphics mode
[04:13] <cory__> 8800GT
[04:13] <Bozza_> list
[04:14] <Bozza_> \list
[04:14] <Bozza_> \list channels
[04:14] <cory__> Maybe im missing something?
[04:14] <rryan> Arrick : The -rw-r--r-- looking thing is the permissions. That means that for me, the file is read/write, for my group, the file is read, and for others the file is read (from left to right is how you tell)
[04:14] <Arrick> yeah, whats the number association with that setting you just posted rryan ?
[04:14] <Bozza_> how do i view alll channels ?
[04:14] <vocx> ross`__, what was your original question? What are you trying to install?
[04:14] <cory__> Does ubuntu have a remote access program in it already?
[04:14] <Starnestommy> Bozza_: /list
[04:14] <kdorf> cory__: selecting "nv" driver causes it to boot into low graphics mode?
[04:14] <Arrick> 666, 777, 447
[04:14] <Arrick> ?
[04:14] <ross`__> physicsfs
[04:14] <ross`__> but i have the only package
[04:14] <cory__> Yeah, let me try it again
[04:15] <ross`__> vocx: it makes no sense

[04:15] <vocx> ross`__, link please
[04:15] <ross`__> i got the one it was talking about
[04:15] <rryan> Arrick : Here's a good tutorial : http://catcode.com/teachmod/numeric.html
[04:15] <Starnestommy> CDOG: maybe /var/log/auth.log
[04:15] <Glaxed> hello all (this is my first time on irc); sorry to interrupt
[04:15] <rryan> Arrick : What I said was 644
[04:15] <Arrick> ok
[04:15] <faileas> Glaxed: just ask what you need to. IRC is a dynamic fast moving medium ;p
[04:15] <cory__> should i choose NV then click ok and relog back in?
[04:16] <bastid_raZor> vocx; thanks for the attempts.. work comes far to quick.. if you find anything feel free to toss the hints my way. bye..thanks
[04:16] <ross`__> im ok
[04:16] <ross`__> nevermind
[04:16] <kdorf> cory__: yeah, it should work.
[04:16] <Piero_Scaruffi> Can i get some help connecting my bluetooth headset please the instructions i received earlier didnt work for me?
[04:16] <vocx> bastid_raZor, work? It's bed time for me, see ya.

[04:17] <CDOG> starnestommy thanks
[04:17] <cory__> right back to Vesa
[04:17] <cory__> brb
[04:18] <xpistos_> can anybody tell me what is good default size for my linux part?
[04:18] <xpistos_> I am dual booting and I want to know how big I can make my Vfat part
[04:18] <kdorf> cory__: try this
[04:18] <cory__> ok
[04:18] <Piero_Scaruffi> Can i get some help please i cant get my headset which works with blue tooth to work on linux i can bond the device and auth the device but i dont know how to add the device to hardware audiodevices ?
[04:18] <cory__> so it didnt load into the Low graphics mode, but it did reset to Vesa
[04:19] <kdorf> cory__: first, backup your xorg.conf file. In terminal, type "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup"
[04:19] <kdorf> cory__: without quotes, obviously.
[04:19] <cory__> yea
[04:19] <bhlewis> FourX4Luvn: does "ssh lin-server." (note trailing dot) work?
[04:19] <kdorf> cory__: next, "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[04:19] <matt444> how do you turn off the system beep?
[04:20] <polywaffle> is there a way to bring up a framebuffer from the command line
[04:20] <kdorf> cory__: in xorg.conf, look for the line where it identifies the driver as "vesa" and change it to "nv", then log out and see what happens. If it gives you trouble, just copy the backup over the original again.
[04:20] <Rubie> and again
[04:20] <cory__> kk
[04:20] <Rubie> >	i basically have a similar problem to this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=319422 except it's a wpa-psk can somebody help
[04:20] <cory__> xorg.conf is blank....
[04:20] <Rubie> or point me to somewhere that could help
[04:21] <FourX4Luvn> bhlewis: Hrm.. Yes, it does.  (I already tried 'lin-server.local' and that didn't work).  What did I screw up?
[04:21] <kdorf> cory__: you're in "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" right? it's case sensitive.
[04:21] <nikrud> Piero_Scaruffi http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/HOWTO/AudioDevices might work for you
[04:21] <polywaffle> any ideas on the framebuffer thread?
[04:21] <cory__> yea
[04:21] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php  See if that helps ya
[04:21] <Starnestommy> matt444: http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=484 has something about it
[04:21] <nikrud> Piero_Scaruffi I'm thinking of the config file bit there
[04:21] <kdorf> cory__: well there's definitely no way it should be blank, or your GUI wouldn't work.
[04:21] <cory__> xorg.conf (/etc/Xll) - gedit is what it says up top of the window
[04:21] <Piero_Scaruffi> Couldn't display "obex://[00:80:5A:63:20:E0]/".
[04:22] <Piero_Scaruffi> \i am a noob
[04:22] <kdorf> cory__: those are ones, not Ls
[04:22] <RabidWeezle> Hello all: Something I just thought of, I got 1rst partition = XP, 2nd and 3rd = linux. I am about to use a gparted livecd to remove my windows partition and go linux only... Then I am going to grow out the linux main partition to fill the freespace the windows partition leaves behind and such, I am sure this is gonna change the partition names, (hda3, hda1...) Question is, will this break grub?
[04:22] <cory__> oh
[04:22] <cory__> lol
[04:22] <bhlewis> FourX4Luvn: notice that the reverse lookup for  kaden-lin is different than the reverse for lin-server.  Does your /etc/resolv.conf contain something like "search local"?
[04:22] <ice109> hey is there any reason i can't splice together networking cables?
[04:22] <RabidWeezle> as in will this break my entire install of linux playing with the partitions like that?
[04:23] <FourX4Luvn> RabidWeezle: Yes, it would change the partition names, and yes, grub would have to be reconfigured.  A way around this, don't get rid of the Windows partition, simply shrink it to be like 2MB.  Then it's still there, but you're not loosing any space from it.
[04:23] <RabidWeezle> ahh, that sounds reasonable
[04:23] <RabidWeezle> thanks FourX4Luvn
[04:23] <kdorf> cory__: it might be that the gnome "screens & graphics" configuration utility doesn't like you choose the "nv" driver, so editing xorg.conf should force it to use that driver.
[04:23] <Rubie> fourx4luvn  umm... im not sure that's what i need.  im on a computer that is on the network now.  i tried http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/wireless_key.html  but i get a hex key and i need an ascii key
[04:23] <cory__> brb
[04:24] <FourX4Luvn> bhlewis: Yes, it does have 'search local' in it
[04:24] <ice109> is there any reason i can't splice together networking cables
[04:24] <CoasterMaster> ice109, how are you splicing them together?
[04:24] <ice109> stripping the wires, connection same colors
[04:24] <cory__> Lmao
[04:24] <ice109> twisting the bares wires together
[04:24] <cory__> Screen and Graphics still displays as vesa for graphics card
[04:25] <ice109> coastermaster
[04:25] <tux97> hi
[04:25] <CoasterMaster> ice109, that should work as long as the connections are secure and not bridging (and the cable isn't really long)
[04:25] <ice109> hmm
[04:25] <ice109> my cable is at least 50ft
[04:25] <RabidWeezle> might wanna wrap the twisted ends
[04:25] <kdorf> cory__: open xorg.conf again... does it still show Driver		"nv"?
[04:25] <ice109> definitely not bridging
[04:25] <CoasterMaster> ice109, as long as it's less than 100ft, you should be ok....and yeah wrap them in like electrical tape to be safe
[04:25] <cory__> yea
[04:26] <ice109> what if it's over 100ft
[04:26] <cory__> im going to reinstall the NV binary x.org drivers
[04:26] <kdorf> cory__: I might try a full reboot. I think in order for that to take effect you have to restart the x server.
[04:26] <Geoffrey2> what's the Alt key combination to switch to a terminal?
[04:26] <Piero_Scaruffi> nikrud i have no clue where in the config file i should paste the instructions from the wiki it doesnt specify it
[04:26] <zcat[1]> is there any howto somewhere for using a video as wallpaper?
[04:26] <Piero_Scaruffi> any help please
[04:26] <kdorf> Geoffrey2: ctrl-alt-f1
[04:26]  * RabidWeezle reboots into the livecd
[04:27] <kdorf> Geoffrey2: works for f1-f6
[04:27] <kdorf> Geoffrey2: ctrl-alt-f7 to return to GUI
[04:27] <bhlewis> FourX4Luvn: whatever name service you're using isn't serving "lin-server.local." for <IP_ADDRESS>, only "lin-server"
[04:27] <Geoffrey2> Firefox is nonstop freezing or crashing on me right now, driving me nuts
[04:27] <kdorf> Geoffrey2: download lynx ;)
[04:27] <rryan> Arrick : Any progress?
[04:28] <Arrick> rryan, looking into it now
[04:28] <rryan> Arrick : k
[04:28] <FourX4Luvn> bhlewis: I've set up dnsmasq as DHCP and DNS on lin-server
[04:28] <Arrick> the /htaccess is there
[04:28] <Arrick> .htaccess
[04:28] <cory__> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Unknown device 0611 (rev a2)
[04:28] <FourX4Luvn> bhlewis: Which is what really confuses me.  How can a dnsmasq server not have its own hostname correct?
[04:28] <cory__> So it recognizes that it is a Nvidia at least :P
[04:29] <kdorf> cory__: It's quite possible that ubuntu just doesn't recognize the GT yet.
[04:29] <kdorf> cory__: let's see what google says.
[04:29] <bhlewis> FourX4Luvn: you'd need the entry in /etc/hosts to look like this on the dnsmasq host: "<IP_ADDRESS> lin-server.local lin-server"
[04:29] <FourX4Luvn> bhlewis: Or, rather, how can it serve the correct addresses/hostname mappings for all the other computers, yet not its own?
[04:29] <ani1> Geoffrey2: when you run it from terminal whats the error?
[04:29] <cory__> google is my best friend :P
[04:29] <tux97> lol cory__
[04:30] <cory__> im going to try sudo nvidia-xconfig in console
[04:30] <cory__> errr,, terminal
[04:30] <cory__> brb gonna restart
[04:30] <Geoffrey2> ani1: if I could get back to the terminal to find out, I'd tell you :)
[04:30] <tux97> doesn't mater to me what ya call it cory__ lol
[04:30] <FourX4Luvn> bhlewis: I have similar now... "<IP_ADDRESS> lin-server lin-server.local"  Does the order matter?
[04:31] <bhlewis> FourX4Luvn: yes, it does seem to matter for dnsmasq (ran into that myself)
[04:31] <ALPSINC> hi all, do the standard nv drivers have open-gl enabled?
[04:31] <Geoffrey2> ok, I'm getting a error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon
[04:32] <Rubie> fourx4luvn umm... im not sure that's what i need. im on a computer that is on the network now. i tried http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/wireless_key.html but i get a hex key and i need an ascii key
[04:32] <Geoffrey2> last error message was "Did not receive a reply."
[04:32] <bhlewis> FourX4Luvn: I guess that's because the hosts file format is specified as "IP official_hostname aliases"
[04:32] <Draggin> Good morning.  I have just finished installing Ubuntu (Studio) 7.10 again, but I seem to have some issues with my sound - it doesn't seem to work uniformly throughout the system.  Some applications don't have any sound, some do, and system sounds (like the logon sound) don't play... Where can I start looking?
[04:32] <FourX4Luvn> bhlewis: Interesting.  I swapped them, and it did fix the problem.
[04:32] <dns53> ALPSINC the nv drivers do not support opengl at all, the proprietary nvidia do
[04:33] <bhlewis> FourX4Luvn: score one for the good guys against the forces of chaos then :)
[04:34] <Arrick> I got it now rryan thanks
[04:34] <cyntek> can a window user gain access to a network drive to read/write?
[04:34] <FourX4Luvn> bhlewis: Thank you :)  Funny, I set this up 4 months ago and thought it was working just fine.. I only log in to the other computers though, not the server.  LOL.  Guess that just goes to show how well ubuntu-server holds up though.  Not having to log into it for 4 months.  heh
[04:34] <rryan> Arrick : cool, enjoy :)
[04:34] <Draggin> Geoffrey2 - go have a look here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146946  You might find an answer there

[04:35] <ani1> !deb | towlie
[04:35] <Starnestommy> *file.deb
[04:35] <ubotu> towlie: deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility.
[04:35] <FourX4Luvn> towlie: err.. add 'sudo'

[04:37] <Starnestommy> Nix3r: there's no package for psybnc, but irssi with it's proxy plugin and dircproxy can both be bouncers
[04:37] <FourX4Luvn> Ibback: Not sure if you can follow it word for word, but should get you started at least.  I've never done it myself, so can't really help with the details.  I just know it's possible.
[04:37] <Draggin> Nix3r - Perhaps get it from their website?
[04:38] <cyntek> thanks frogzoo

[04:43] <Rubie> no  i want to connect my laptop (ubuntu) and my wii but im on an xp desktop  and i can't just reconfigure the router
[04:43] <cory__> Does anyone know a good way to learn ubuntu withing spending money, like is there a Everything about Ubuntu site out there that just has a very good tutorial in it?
[04:43] <kdorf> cory__: really it takes time more than anything.
[04:44] <Rubie> cory  you never have to spend money with ubunt
[04:44] <hischild> cory__, in my opinion, you're at the place you're describing right now.

[04:44] <Geoffrey2> does anyone know why ubuntu would on a periodic basis generate video output beyond the range of the monitor?
[04:44] <cory__> Yes, but i hate having to rely on others all the time. as a Tech Support Rep i should know all this stuff :P

[04:45] <cory__> Im taking courses through devry for Game Programming, and Ubuntu has most of the utilities i need and such
[04:45] <FourX4Luvn> cory__: ubuntuforums.org is another good place.

[04:48] <Rubie> cory anything five minutes of google doesn't fix you can post on ubuntuforums and anything drastically urgent you can ask in here, other than that spend time with ubuntu, check out ubuntuguide.com and maybe search torrents for a ubuntu guide
[04:48] <Rubie> fourx4luvn  its wpa-psk
[04:48] <morhon> lads, got a strange problem: first tried to install Gutsy on a GA-K8NS, only 'noapic nolapic acpi=off' help for the installation freezes and now i'm getting an error "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode" though i've installed the drivers for Radeon 9600 pro (restricted tried aswell) and still same thing happens. searched google, searched forums, found no answer to this... could anyone help me, please?
[04:48] <ani1> Geoffrey2: first i would start up in -safe-mode and disable all plugins etc see if its flash related then you can try a new profile using -ProfileManager
[04:48] <cory__> im still trying to learn the commands for everything
[04:49] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: I know but ascii to hex conversion is the same, regardless of the protocol
[04:49] <kdorf> Rubie said it best. =) Google is notoriously good for solving ubuntu problems
[04:49] <Zimbo> Hi guys... this is probably an FAQ, but when the final release of Hardy comes out in another month, will it be possibly to do an "upgrade" install?  Or will doing a fresh install be recommended?
[04:49] <cory__> i know what some of the commands mean, and how to use them, from what ive learned today.
[04:49] <Geoffrey2> ani1: start Firefox in safe mode, or Ubuntu?
[04:49] <kdorf> cory__: give you a hint at the console... "man" is your friend. ctrl-c kills a running program in console
[04:49] <ani1> Geoffrey2: firefox
[04:49] <cory__> man = Manual right?
[04:49] <kdorf> cory__: right.
[04:49] <cory__> sudo for permissions
[04:49] <cory__> getw for downloads....
[04:50] <orudie> bazhang: are you there?
[04:50] <ani1> Geoffrey2: firefox -safe-mode uncheck all the boxes hit continue try to duplicate if you can use firefox -ProfileManager and create a new profile see if you can duplicate it let me know if you make it that far still with a problem
[04:50] <FourX4Luvn> cory__: No.. wget
[04:50] <kdorf> cory__: sudo for anything you need admin rights for. =) means "super user do"
[04:50] <scone> Why does gedit save a copy starting with ~?
[04:50] <ani1> kdorf: unless its gui then you use gksudo
[04:50] <computer_> how do make limewire's default player to be VLC? anyone?
[04:50] <computer_> how do I make limewire's default player to be VLC? anyone?
[04:50] <cory__> Yea, i read that somewhere
[04:51] <kdorf> computer_: in nautilus, right click on the file and go to properties and go to the "open with" tab
[04:51] <Zimbo> Scone: Traditionally files starting with '~' are backup copies in case something goes wrong with the edited version
[04:51] <Geoffrey2> ani1: ok, so start in safe mode, and make sure there are NO checks in any of the boxes?
[04:51] <cory__> it says operation completed in Envy, should i just close the window and restart?
[04:51] <kdorf> computer_: choose VLC for that file type, and it should work.
[04:51] <orudie> i try finding a file by typing this "locate webshortcutlist.txt" but it wont find return any search results
[04:51] <DistroJockey> Zimbo: I stuck a Hardy beta CD in while running Gutsy and it asked if I wanted to upgrade. So it looks like an upgrade is tested. But I always prefer a clean install.
[04:51] <cory__> im back to the command line
[04:51] <scone> Zimbo, should I just ignore them?
[04:51] <kdorf> cory__: yeah, give it a whirl, see what happens.
[04:51] <ani1> Geoffrey2: check all the boxes you want to eliminate all possible problems so startup without the tool bars and extensions enabled
[04:51] <FourX4Luvn> scone: It's a way of automatically creating a backup for you.  For instance, if the power goes out while you're editing the file.  that file starting with '~' will be the file from when you started editing it.. (minus all your changes)
[04:51] <cory__> Alright, brb
[04:51] <Geoffrey2> ani1: ah, oik
[04:52] <astro76> orudie: the locate database is updated once daily by a cron job, you can update it now with sudo updatedb
[04:52] <scone> Thanks for the answer guys.
[04:52] <AdemoS> One more issue: Ubuntu 7.10 64 bit; Whenever I try to drag a volume manager or trash applet from the Gnome Panel menu, it gives me these errors http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/7043/twopanelerrorsqf4.png --- I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Gnome-Panel, with no luck
[04:52] <bazhang> orudie: yes
[04:52] <Zimbo> Scone: Yeah, I'd ignore them until you're sure your changes are correct and then delete them.  Most editors have an option somewhere for not creating them in the first place if they bother you.
[04:52] <Zimbo> Thanks DistroJockey
[04:52] <scone> zimbo, thanks alot
[04:52] <DistroJockey> Zimbo: np
[04:52] <orudie> bazhang: hey man, trying to locate a file and locate filename.txt wont work
[04:52] <moogmusic> which is the fastest filesystem at the moment, guys?
[04:52] <ani1> orudie: then use find
[04:52] <FourX4Luvn> moogmusic: no file system at all
[04:53] <moogmusic> FourX4Luvn:  then what?
[04:53] <morhon>  lads, got a strange problem: first tried to install Gutsy on a GA-K8NS, only 'noapic nolapic acpi=off' help for the installation freezes and now i'm getting an error "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode" though i've installed the drivers for Radeon 9600 pro (restricted tried aswell) and still same thing happens. searched google, searched forums, found no answer to this... could anyone help me, please?
[04:53] <kdorf> moogmusic: since ext2 doesn't journal like ext3 does, ext2 is faster if I'm not mistaken. Not sure about reiserfs or others.
[04:53] <orudie> ani1: find doesnt work
[04:53] <moogmusic> what about xfs, zfs
[04:53] <ani1> orudie: ...as in you dont know how to use it or its not finding the file
[04:53] <nickeldeuce> so whenever i have compiz running, i randomly lose keyboard input in a particular application. anyone heard of this before?
[04:54] <orudie> ani1: i typed "find filename.txt"
[04:54] <Zimbo> I have a question on linking... I've been reading about hard links and symbolic links, and was curious... (1) on a default install of Gutsy, all the links are symbolic, right?  and... (2) is there a command that sniffs out hard links?  Or does everyone just do something like ls -ilR | sort | <<some flavor of uniq>> ?
[04:54] <orudie> ani1:  returned no such file or directory
[04:54] <ani1> orudie: find /path -name "filename.txt"
[04:54] <kdorf> moogmusic: take a look at wikipedia, I'm sure it will offer some insight. =) that's where I was looking at them.
[04:54] <spudratic> hello this is from my sys log I know proto is protocol spt=source port and dpt destination port is this correct and lol which port is mine source or destination  PROTO=UDP SPT=5353 DPT=5353
[04:54] <Triple|Ubuntu> .bungie.org
[04:54] <FourX4Luvn> moogmusic: If you're wanting to eek out every last drop of performance from a drive, typically you'd use a database on a raw disk.  Hence no filesystem at all.  What you're looking for would most likely be ext3 though.  Reiser is a bit slower simply because you can't use hdparm to tweak it.
[04:55] <AdemoS> Ubuntu 7.10 64 bit; Whenever I try to drag a volume manager or trash applet from the Gnome Panel menu, it gives me these errors http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/7043/twopanelerrorsqf4.png --- I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Gnome-Panel, with no luck
[04:55] <CDOG> HI. I recently posted that i left my computer on i think at about 6 PM and then left. (and think someone found out my password and has been logging into my account) I copy pasted some information from the aut.log file i was a bit confused. By the looks of this: http://pastebin.com/d4ea3265f , has anyone logged into my account? Thanks a lot, this is very important
[04:55] <FourX4Luvn> moogmusic: Err.. excuse me.. you can't use e2fs, rather.
[04:55] <cory__> i think it worked
[04:55] <kdorf> FourX4Luvn: Doesn't journaling cause ext3 to be slower than ext2?
[04:55] <cory__> testing it out now
[04:55] <kdorf> cory__: awesome. the ultimate test would be compiz fusion :)
[04:55] <cory__> Whats compiz fusion?
[04:56] <orudie> ani1: i thats the whole point that i dont know the path where the file is, whats the purpose of searching if you already know the path
[04:56] <bazhang> !compiz | cory__
[04:56] <ubotu> cory__: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion
[04:56] <ani1> orudie: then use /
[04:56] <cory__> Whats that for?
[04:56] <morhon>  lads, got a strange problem: first tried to install Gutsy on a GA-K8NS, only 'noapic nolapic acpi=off' help for the installation freezes and now i'm getting an error "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode" though i've installed the drivers for Radeon 9600 pro (restricted tried aswell) and still same thing happens. searched google, searched forums, found no answer to this... could anyone help me, please?
[04:56] <kdorf> cory__: makes your desktop prettier.
[04:56] <ani1> cory__: read the link
[04:56] <cory__> Oh...
[04:56] <Geoffrey2> ani1: well, safe mode seems to have eliminated the problem...previously, Firefox was either crashing or freezing within 15-20 seconds of being started
[04:56] <cory__> ill check it out
[04:57] <kentsusai> anyone know of a decent file browser that has word wrapping features for really long filenames? 250+ char??
[04:57] <spudratic> cory all the cool effects
[04:57] <FourX4Luvn> kdorf: Not if you set async.  Assuming you're running a relatively new CPU, that is.  If it's an old computer there is some processing overhead that may end up making it slower overall.
[04:57] <Zimbo> I have a question on linking... I've been reading about hard links and symbolic links, and was curious... (1) on a default install of Gutsy, all the links are symbolic, right?  and... (2) is there a command that sniffs out hard links?  Or does everyone just do something like ls -ilR | sort | <<some flavor of uniq>> ?
[04:57] <ani1> Geoffrey2: also if you have a lot of entries that point to <IP_ADDRESS> in your /etc/hosts file make sure their spaced correctly and pointed correctly to loopback this happened to me and all browsers seg faulted. You may just want to create a new profile then and one by one reinstall you plugins
[04:57] <nikrud> cory__ http://pop.youtube.com/watch?v=lawkc3jH3ws for compiz demonstration
[04:58] <cory__> Tell me if this sounds like a good system to you. Amd 64x2 2.0 ghz, 4 Gigz ddr2 800 ram, 8800gt Good for linux?
[04:58] <kdorf> FourX4Luvn: Righto then. =)
[04:58] <kdorf> cory__: That's more tha sufficient.
[04:58] <bhlewis> CDOG: looks like someone tried to login as an unknown user three times between 22:04 and 22:05 but it doesn't look like any successful logins happened (that were left in the logs, anyway)
[04:58] <kdorf> than**
[04:58] <nikrud> cory__ barely adequate. If you like, you could mail it to me and you can get another
[04:58] <kdorf> lol @ nikrud.
[04:58] <cory__> lol
[04:58] <awl> every time i run vimtutor, i get this empty vim file
[04:58] <bhlewis> CDOG: I'm assuming it *was* you that logged in as you at 23:05
[04:59] <ani1> kentsusai: the maximum file names are 255
[04:59] <FourX4Luvn> kdorf: Just be warned... by turning on async you run the risk of data corruption in the event of a power failure.  Unfortunately speed and data integrity are more or less mutually exclusive.. Unless you have a RAID 5 array
[04:59] <Rubie> fourx4luvn: anymore suggestions?
[04:59] <spudratic> spt or dpt in system log for guarddog which port is the port of my computer lol
[04:59] <hischild> what was the command to free a locked database from a crashed apt-get?
[04:59] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: You used the converter that was linked in the article?
[04:59] <cory__> Hmm
[04:59] <kdorf> FourX4Luvn: Fortunately I'm not the one who needs blazing speed from my filesystem. ext3 as installed is just fine for me =)
[04:59] <morhon>  lads, got a strange problem: first tried to install Gutsy on a GA-K8NS, only 'noapic nolapic acpi=off' helped for the installation freezes and now i'm getting an error "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode" though i've installed the drivers for Radeon 9600 pro (restricted tried aswell) and still same thing happens. searched google, searched forums, found no answer to this... could anyone help me, please?
[04:59] <cory__> is there a way to check running processes?
[05:00] <Rubie> i have wpa-psk
[05:00] <ani1> cory__: ps -A
[05:00] <faileas> !fixapt
[05:00] <Rubie> not wep
[05:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fixapt - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[05:00] <faileas> !aptfix
[05:00] <ubotu> If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a »
[05:00] <hischild> faileas, thank you
[05:00] <ani1> cory__: ps aux
[05:00] <cory__> how do i close one
[05:00] <spudratic> cory system monitor in system adminastration
[05:00] <kdorf> cory__: kill <process id>
[05:00] <ani1> cory__: sudo pkill name or sudo kill -9  <process id>
[05:00] <CDOG> bhlewis, im not 100% it was me at 23.05, i either logged in at that time or logged in a few minutes later but i think it was me. thanks a million. By the way, what does that mean as unknown user, does that mean it didnt actually log the username they tried to login with since it wasnt an existant one? and what is "tty6"? do you know if there is a way for it to log the name of the inexistant usernames they try to log in with. Thanks
[05:01] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: I know that.. but ascii to hex (and vice versa) is the same, regardless.  Put the hex key that your program returns into this link.. select 'hex to ascii' and try the resulting output: http://centricle.com/tools/ascii-hex/
[05:01] <cory__> Thanks
[05:01] <ani1> cory__: if it helps with getting a GUI app GPS is a decent one
[05:01] <cory__> Dont have to sudo for 15 mins :)
[05:01] <spudratic> anyone run guarddog in here?
[05:01] <ani1> !info GPS > cory__
[05:01] <tarkus> are all the interface toolkits utilizing just pixmaps? and images for their design?
[05:02] <cory__> kk,, afk a sec
[05:02] <tarkus> wondering why we havent yet picked up on vector and scalable geomerty
[05:02] <xpistos_> I am dual booting and I want to know how big I can make my Vfat part
[05:02] <xpistos_> can anybody tell me what is good default size for my linux part?
[05:02] <xpistos_> Anybody?
[05:02] <Geoffrey2> ani1: ok, if I just delete .mozilla from my home folder, I'd be starting off with a fresh profile?
[05:03] <CDOG> xpistos_ depends on where you want to store all your files and how much data those files occupy
[05:03] <ani1> Geoffrey2: eek you didnt have to do that but yeah it will ultimately achieve the same thing..In the future you may just want to move it if theirs anything you would need to get a hold of book marks etc.
[05:03] <spudratic> xpistos I think 40 gig is recomendid
[05:03] <Geoffrey2> ani1: actually, I didn't do anything yet...just asking
[05:03] <ani1> Geoffrey2: its better to use the -ProfileManager flag and hit net
[05:03] <ani1> Geoffrey2: new*
[05:03] <xpistos_> I will put the program files in ext3, but I want a vfat for everything else so Windows systems can read the data
[05:04] <morhon> could anyone please tell me how to fix the "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode" problem with ATI Radeon 9600Pro? restricted drivers aren't working, so are the standard ones, and the configuration doesn't work aswell...
[05:04] <Rubie> fourx4luvn  nothing happens when i try to translate it.  i tried http://www.dolcevie.com/js/converter.html earlier and i get question marks in the output.  my guess is the one you gave me doesn't know what to do with the unknown characters and crashes
[05:04] <tarkus> are all the interface toolkits utilizing just pixmaps? and images for their design?
[05:04] <ani1> Geoffrey2: thats good yeah you can just mv .mozilla .mozillaold but its better to use Profile Manager
[05:04] <xpistos_> spudratic_ thanks
[05:05] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: Hrm... and you're positive it's hex?
[05:05] <xpistos_> CDOG Thanks as well
[05:05] <goose_> how can I connect to a shared printer that's being hosted by a mac?
[05:05] <cory__> Well hmm sound isnt working now
[05:05] <bhlewis> CDOG: tty6 is probably the screen that shows up if you press Alt-F6 (or Ctrl-Alt-F6 from X).  I don't know why the actual username wasn't logged -- it would have been on the systems I'm familiar with, but that's Solaris.
[05:06] <cory__> Fixed it :)
[05:07] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: Try this one, maybe?  http://www.speedguide.net/wlan_key.php
[05:07] <CDOG> bhlewis oh ok thanks. yeah the thing is for somereason, after i leave the login screen on for a while (when i click on switch user) the screen goes blank, well it goes yellowish and you cant see a thing.. so then they pressed Ctrl-Alt-F6, to get that screen?
[05:07] <Zimbo> Dumb question: Why do the GNU utilities (as installed on Ubuntu) use --options rather than just -option?  (I really many accept -option as well, I'm curious why --option is considered better.)
[05:08] <Starnestommy> Zimbo: because there may also be -o, -p, -t, -i, or -n
[05:08] <FourX4Luvn> Zimbo: The general convention is to use a single '-' for single letter switches and '--' for word based switches.
[05:08] <bhlewis> CDOG: quite possibly.  If I press Ctrl-Alt-F6 on my Ubuntu laptop, I see "tty6" alongside the hostname above the login prompt.
[05:08] <Zimbo> Starnestommy: OK, but I was thinking of all the duplicated ones, like "ls -r" being the same as "ls --reverse"
[05:09] <doofy`> Does anyone here use lyx? I installed some tex-live extra packages and I need to use one of them (mla-paper) in lyx. Is there a way to do this?
[05:09] <goose_> how can I connect to a shared printer that's being hosted by a mac?
[05:09] <morhon> could anyone please tell me how to fix the "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode" problem with ATI Radeon 9600Pro? restricted drivers aren't working, so are the standard ones, and the configuration doesn't work aswell...
[05:09] <spudratic> ok one last time any one in system log spt or dpt my port on my cpu this is for vlc and shoutcast
[05:09] <Zimbo> Most of the ls options have both a -option and --option variant!  Hmm... I guess the -options are usually a single character and --options are spelled out though... that makes sense
[05:10] <TerminusEst> good evening everyone
[05:10] <CDOG> bhlewis, well youve been great help, i guess i can feel safe now.. the person who tried to login, i do know who it is, is just such an ass, when will he ever get a life. Bye and thanks again
[05:10] <fab4fan> hi all
[05:10] <tux97> hi fab4fan
[05:10] <fab4fan> I need some help with partitioning a hard drive
[05:10] <fab4fan> it's a 40GB second drive
[05:10] <nickeldeuce> so whenever i have compiz running, i randomly lose keyboard input in a particular application. anyone heard of this before?
[05:11]  * TerminusEst slaps fab4fan around a bit with a large trout
[05:11] <fab4fan> I've got it partitioned but it's not showing up in "places"
[05:11] <DistroJockey> Zimbo: I guess if you were scripting, --option would be easier to follow. But if you are doing a one off quicky, -o is quicker.
[05:11] <TerminusEst> which partitioner?
[05:11] <nickeldeuce> Zimbo, it has to do with the origin of the utility
[05:11] <fab4fan> Gpart
[05:11] <nickeldeuce> GNU had a different convention than everyone else
[05:11] <kdorf> nickeldeuce: I've had it happen before. Compiz is a bit buggy, that's what I would attribute it to
[05:11] <spudratic> later all happy Easter to those who partake
[05:11] <Rubie> i use wireless key view and it gives me this: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2337/2353152859_73de2f2da4.jpg?v=0
[05:11] <kdorf> nickeldeuce: try restarting compiz.
[05:12] <nickeldeuce> it does it nearly every time i log in, so i dunno how that would help
[05:12] <Zimbo> ok, thanks guys, those are pretty good reasons
[05:12] <fab4fan> when I edited the fstab file it created a new one called fstab~
[05:12] <nickeldeuce> :P
[05:12] <TerminusEst> partitioned as Ext2?
[05:12] <Zimbo> I'm sure it was something Richard Stallman came up with one day at lunch :-)
[05:12] <fab4fan> terminus: no Ext3
[05:12] <DistroJockey> :)
[05:12] <nikrud> never thought stallman needed to eat
[05:12] <TerminusEst> hummm
[05:12] <barslow> hello, i broke my ubuntu partition, so i reinstalled a new version on a different HD.... now i want to edit files on the broken partition but i dont have read/write access.... can someone help?
[05:12] <Rubie> fourx4luvn  i use wireless key view and it gives me this: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2337/2353152859_73de2f2da4.jpg?v=0
[05:12] <cory__> Well poop
[05:12] <kdorf> nickeldeuce: you lose all keyboard input in one particular application, is that correct?
[05:13] <Rubie> fourx4luvn and the key is 9faaa41359297209c77ca2181d15ca53592385e635ecb3c6702f017c72215f6a
[05:13] <TerminusEst> strange, i got this same problem with 6.10 once
[05:13] <bhlewis> CDOG: good luck dealing with that person
[05:13] <cory__> I have sound when i test, but not in game..lol
[05:13] <druke> what is the package to needed to open .rar files
[05:13] <kdorf> cory__: run winecfg and try setting your sound to ALSA
[05:13] <ani1> unrar druke
[05:13] <TerminusEst> but when i upgraded to feisty it disappeared
[05:13] <Rubie> now what i'm supposed to do with that i don't know
[05:13] <druke> ani1, ah hah!! thanks
[05:13] <nikrud> barslow is the old partition mounted, and is it ext3?
[05:13] <Zimbo> I read somewhere that he claims to live in his office at times... apparently he's still being paid as a post-doc and hence never had the money to buy a real house.  I expect he's quite a character in person...
[05:13] <fab4fan> terminus:  I found the ubuntu help page and got the fstab file edited
[05:13] <nickeldeuce> yep
[05:13] <hischild> druke, that'd be unrar if i'm correct
[05:13] <Rubie> druke it should just let you do it in ubuntu
[05:13] <fab4fan> why did gedit save fstab as fstab~
[05:14] <druke> Rubie, nope need unrar, couldn't recall the name
[05:14] <ani1> fab4fan: its a backup file fstab~ is
[05:14] <TerminusEst> fab4fan: backup file
[05:14] <nickeldeuce> kdorf, sometimes i can go for hours, other times it happens after  typing a few words
[05:14] <ani1> fab4fan: run diff on them you'll see the difference :)
[05:14] <barslow> nikrud: i can mount and browse and yes it is ext3, i just cant edit
[05:14] <fab4fan> ani1:  ok, I can understand that but why are the changes appearing in the backup and not the primary ?
[05:14] <nikrud> barslow do chown -R <youruser>:youruser>  /mount/point
[05:15] <Rubie> druke in windows u would need a special program such as 7zip, winrar, or unrar  but the archive manager shouldn't have any trouble dealing with .rar files
[05:15] <TerminusEst> fab4fan: perhaps the permissions?
[05:15] <ani1> if you open fstab with gedit and save the changes it will save them to fstab and keep the old settings in fstab~
[05:15] <ani1> fab4fan: ^^
[05:15] <nikrud> barslow likd chown -R rich:rich /media/sda4 or something
[05:15] <fab4fan> ani1:  that makes sense but it's the reverse in this case
[05:15] <fab4fan> the changes are saved in the backup
[05:15] <RioMerc> Hello
[05:15] <ani1> fab4fan: you must have opened the incorrect file :| just edit fstab again
[05:16] <RioMerc> I'm having some difficulty setting up dual monitors
[05:16] <druke> Rubie, in hardy beta I couldn't till just now, (after isntalling the unrar package)
[05:16] <kdorf> nickeldeuce: there's probably something triggering it. I don't know a whole lot about the workings of compiz but I might conjecture that there is a keyboard conflict or something which causes things to but out. just throwing ideas out, though
[05:16] <nikrud> fab4fan do you have an fstab~~ ?
[05:16] <fab4fan> yup, ok, I'll try again
[05:16] <fab4fan> no
[05:16] <kdorf> bug out*
[05:16] <Zimbo> Silly question #2: If bzip2 is supposedly better than gzip, why is most everything in Ubuntu .tgz format bather than .bgz?  Just historical inertia?
[05:16] <cory__> yea.. i get bad FPS now
[05:16] <Rubie> druke awwkay that clears up my confusion
[05:16] <ani1> nikrud: can that happen?
[05:16] <astro76> Zimbo: bzip compression is *slow*
[05:16] <honeypot> excuse me, i have a question, somebody know how can i limit the upload rate on linux machine
[05:16] <nikrud> ani1 I've done it
[05:16] <ani1> heh
[05:16] <ani1> never knew
[05:17] <druke> Rubie, ;) np
[05:17] <cory__> Hmmm
[05:17] <TerminusEst> Somebody here programs in C language?
[05:17] <RioMerc> I'm having some difficulty setting up Dual Monitors on my system, specifically: Everything.
[05:17] <ani1> !ot | TerminusEst
[05:17] <ubotu> TerminusEst: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[05:17] <Cpudan80> TerminusEst: ##C
[05:17] <Starnestommy> TerminusEst: maybe ##C
[05:18] <RioMerc> Wondering if anyone could lend a hand
[05:19] <fab4fan> an1:  do I need the # at the beginning of the line ?
[05:19] <TerminusEst> geez, i tried ##C, but no one there could help, everyone were chatting about girlfriends and their isteria
[05:19] <druke> RioMerc, what ubuntu version
[05:19] <ani1> fab4fan: if your talking about fstab # is a comment
[05:19] <RioMerc> Latest, 7.10
[05:19] <ani1> fab4fan: meaning if you put a # in front of what you typed it wouldnt take effect its ignored
[05:19] <cory__> Is google down??
[05:20] <ani1> no
[05:20] <cory__> Oh there it goes
[05:20] <ani1> wtf
[05:20] <TerminusEst> nope
[05:20] <druke> RioMerc, well haven't done it myself but I would imagine you would be using the screen tool under the administrator menu
[05:20] <RioMerc> Sort of right
[05:20] <RioMerc> It's greyed out though
[05:20] <TerminusEst> so, is there another channel about programming in general?
[05:21] <druke> RioMerc, you using two cards or just two ports on the same card
[05:21] <ani1> TerminusEst: look in the chan list :\
[05:21] <RioMerc> Two ports on the same card
[05:21] <RioMerc> I presume I'm fucked?
[05:21] <druke> RioMerc, language please, sec
[05:21] <cory__> !cedega
[05:21] <ubotu> cedega is a project based on WINE, aimed at running Windows games on Linux. For more info, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega
[05:21] <RioMerc> Apologies
[05:22] <cory__> There we go
[05:22] <RioMerc> Forgot about that, I'm used to the over-18 internet :)
[05:22] <cory__> <3 Google
[05:22] <cory__> <3 ubotu
[05:22] <thatGuy> .
[05:22] <obst> TerminusEst: ##c++
[05:22] <druke> RioMerc, should be able to set it as 'plug and play' .. let me see on mine real quick
[05:22] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: Could the ascii key be in a language other than english?
[05:22] <RioMerc> Tried
[05:22] <TerminusEst> got it, thx
[05:22] <RioMerc> It only clones the two desktops
[05:23] <RioMerc> Allow me to specify what I mean by dual monitors
[05:23] <RioMerc> Extended monitors
[05:23] <RioMerc> So that the two act as one big screen
[05:23] <TerminusEst> Ubuntu rules, SloWindow$ shall die
[05:23] <druke> RioMerc, right i've done the same, you using ati or nvidia
[05:23] <RioMerc> Ati
[05:23] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: Or do you use something other than Windows' "Wireless Zero Configuration" utility to connect?  The software that came with the wireless adapter perhaps?
[05:24] <cory__> Uhhhh
[05:24] <cory__> Not sure if im gonna do this right...lol
[05:24] <Dr_willis> RioMerc,  what is your video card setup?
[05:24] <Rubie> fourx4luvn  i highly doubt it.  i don't think it works in the same manner as wep cuz im kinda following ur thinking process, just that wpa doesn't work that way
[05:24] <druke> RioMerc, ah thats the difference in our experiances nvidia actually has a tool for dual monitors...  did you check the forums already?
[05:24] <RioMerc> Dr_willis, Hmm?
[05:25] <Dr_willis> Nvidia and Twinview - is rather easy to setup a wide desktop, or clones, or other ways
[05:25] <RioMerc> x_x
[05:25] <RioMerc> Sort of, druke
[05:25] <RioMerc> Found out about MergedBuffer, Twinview and all of that
[05:25] <RioMerc> I even tried out a MergedBuffer config using a tutorial, much phail for me
[05:25] <RioMerc> Lucky Nvidia users, why do they get all the support :(
[05:26] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: Well, if the computer you're on is the only thing that is connected to your router or WAP, then what about resetting it to factory defaults, then creating a new key?
[05:26] <Rubie> fourx4luvn i don't think that's it either,  i can see that the key is 8 characters long in the wireless network properties, i just can't see it
[05:26] <druke> RioMerc, because nvidia has released stuff for us alot longer, also linakge http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174 is the best I got
[05:26] <jesse> how do i get ubotu to give me information on a packages?
[05:26] <jesse> package*
[05:26] <Dr_willis> RioMerc, twinview is nvidia only - if you are using ati. I got no idea then. :)
[05:26] <ani1> jesse: !info
[05:27] <ani1> jescis: you can pm the bot
[05:27] <ani1> jesse: you can pm the bot
[05:27] <RioMerc> Oh well
[05:27] <ani1> sorry jescis wrong nick tab tab
[05:27] <RioMerc> Guess I'll have to just keep trying
[05:27] <RioMerc> Thanks anyway guys
[05:27] <Rubie> fourx4luvn i would if it was my router or if my stepdad left his laptop here so they would be clueless about the transition but if i did that he would know something was changed and get real piss
[05:28] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: Ahh.. Ok... But you can do what you wish with the computer that you're on now?
[05:28] <jesse> ani1: okay, so "info package", can i get it to give me info on the package in hardy, not gutsy?
[05:28] <ani1> jesse: hardy is not supported here join ubuntu+1 read the topic
[05:28] <Barurot69> is there a site that could show me how to install and boot ubuntu to a thumb drive?
[05:28] <ani1> jesse: i dont know if theirs a bot there but its going to give you info about gutsy here
[05:29] <jesse> ani1: i know its not supported, just wondering if ubotu can give me info on hardy packages
[05:29] <Rubie> fourx4luvn actually part of the whole getting on the network would have been real useful so i could burn some dvds on this desktop that exist on my dvd-burner-less laptop
[05:29] <astro76> jesse: info packagename hardy
[05:29] <Rubie> fourx4luvn and i can't connect my wii
[05:29] <jesse> astro76: sweet, ty :D
[05:29] <astro76> jesse: also http://packages.ubuntu.com is handy ;)
[05:29] <cory__> hmmmm.
[05:30] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: That's not what I meant... What I meant is, you're free to install software on the system you're on now, without getting into trouble?
[05:30] <Piffer> if you have two wireless cards on a laptop, what is a good app to show how good of a reception each card gets from an ap in ubuntu?
[05:31] <Rubie> fourx4luvn  ya they have almost no idea what they are doing with a computer, you should see the start menu its atrocious
[05:31] <bhlewis> Rubie: you might try aircrack http://www.grape-info.com/doc/linux/config/aircrack-ng-0.6.html
[05:31] <nikrud> !clone | barslow
[05:31] <ubotu> barslow: 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 && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate
[05:32] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: Ok.. This is the best I can think.  Try reading through this and doing as it says...http://www.grape-info.com/doc/win2000srv/security/aircrack-2.3.html
[05:33] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: What we're looking to do here is run aircrack, then disconnect from the network, and reconnect to it again with aircrack running in the background.  That should allow it to find the key and then decrypt it for you.
[05:33] <Rubie> fourx4luvn ill try it out
[05:34] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: Not sure if you can run it on the same computer that you're sniffing.. but it's all I can think.. and I don' thave a windows computer to test it with.
[05:34] <strance> #ubuntu-cn
[05:34] <ross`__> does anyone know some good game repositories?
[05:34] <Rubie> fourx4luvn he told me what the key was before and it was 8 characters long but someone from his work set it up and i think he mixed it up by using capital letters somewhere in it
[05:35] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: Well, if this works, write it down in a safe place for him and for you.. heh
[05:37] <Dr_willis> ross`__,  theres a lot of good games in the repos :)
[05:37] <Dr_willis> ross`__,  depends on what you like.
[05:37] <r0bi> I've got something that's stumped me for awhile...Ubuntu Server with a software raid5 array, then LVM on top of that. Usually Linux would mount everything fine if I had the fstab mounting /dev/md0, but since I'm using LVM, it's not working. Every reboot I have to modprobe md, mdadm --assemble, then mount. (I use LVM elsewhere so the LVM stuff is already loaded). Anyone have an idea?
[05:38] <r0bi> I'm new to the "Ubuntu way of doing things" so I would rather not do the crude solution of a shell script at bootup
[05:38] <ani1> ross`__: in synaptics if you click on games the universe and multiverse have a ton of games
[05:38] <ani1> ross`__: click sections if you dont see them on the left
[05:40] <Rubie> fourx4luvn: i have absolutely no idea how it expects me to install this in windoze
[05:40] <AlexHoover> How would I set the screen resolution manually? I can only set it to non-widescreen resolutions in the preference panel.
[05:40] <tripppy> can someone point me in right direction to allow my wifi card to share the ethernet connection? AP mode?
[05:40] <FourX4Luvn> r0bi: Not exactly sure the solution to your problem, but isn't running lvm over RAID 5 defeating some of the benefit of the RAID 5?
[05:40] <fismoll8> can anyone help me with getting slypheed's imap to work with my gmail account?
[05:40] <aga^_^> !seen iwan
[05:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about seen iwan - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[05:40] <Dr_willis> ross`__,  the 'freecol' is a free colonzation clone . not sure if its in the repos..but you can download/install it fairly easy. If you like that kind of game. :) been playing it all week
[05:40] <nikrud> AlexHoover that probably means you don't have the right driver installed. What video card do you have?
[05:40] <r0bi> AlexHoover:  /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:40] <Zimbo> AlexHoover: You edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf .
[05:41] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: The readme.html doesn't tell you how?
[05:41] <nikrud> s/installed/in use/
[05:41] <ryrys> fismoll8, first u need to enable imap in ur gmail account
[05:41] <Zimbo> Be sure to make a backup copy since, if you screw it up, X won't boot at all. :-)  (At which pont you just copy the original back over it and re-start X.)
[05:41] <AlexHoover> nikrud, it doesn't matter. I installed Ubuntu on a couple of my PCs and I connect to them from my MacBook via. remote desktop.
[05:41] <fismoll8> ryrys: I have
[05:41] <nikrud> AlexHoover ok
[05:41] <fismoll8> I set the port to 993 as well
[05:41] <AlexHoover> Zimbo, so I set the resolution and reboot? Kewl.
[05:42] <r0bi> FourX4Luvn: I'm only using LVM for partitioning really...and the ability to grow and shrink things
[05:42] <ross`__> what is freecol
[05:42] <FourX4Luvn> AlexHoover: You don't have to reboot.. just do ctrl+alt+backspace
[05:42] <ryrys> fismoll8, use evolution, its super intuitive
[05:42] <ross`__> Dr_willis: what is freecol
[05:42] <ani1> !info freecol hardy > ross`__
[05:42] <internet_> NE one good w/ vncserver?
[05:42] <FourX4Luvn> r0bi: You're not spanning more than one physical drive with your volumes?
[05:42] <Rubie> fourx4luvn no... lol it's ridiculously compiled for windows. i think i might just break up the images and usb them to the desktop, i've spent way too much time trying to figure this out.  i wish it just showed you the key like in linux or os x   but windows just has to be difficult i guess
[05:43] <fismoll8> well, I've never had any trouble setting up other email clients
[05:43] <Dr_willis> ross`__,  a free version of the old sid miers colonization game.
[05:43] <fismoll8> evolution is too slow; slypheed is quite fast
[05:43] <_kavOOr_> Screenshot produces an image in png format by default. I want to change this to be a JPEG image.
[05:43] <_kavOOr_> Is it possible ?
[05:43] <Zimbo> Alex: Unfortunately, it's often not *quite* that simple.  You can by all means edit the file and reboot and see what happens, but if the video card's device driver doesn't like your parameters (e.g., the resolution you specify) it may just make X quit completely.  Like most things in Linux, some of the video drivers are much more robust than others when it comes to trying to respect your "wishes" per xorg.conf.
[05:43] <FourX4Luvn> Rubie: Well, you knew that part already :)  Hrm.. Yeah, I have no other ideas for you... sorry.
[05:44] <r0bi> FourX4Luvn: RAID5 --> /dev/md0 (from hdc1,hde1,hdg1); LVM --> /dev/mapper/volGrp2-logVol0  (from md0)
[05:44] <ryrys> fismoll8, I prefer thunderbird, in tastes nothing is writting :3
[05:44] <Zimbo> Alex: But you might as well try and see what happens. :-)  To edit xorg.conf, use something like "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" -- by default regular users can't access it (hence the use of sudo)
[05:44] <ross`__> hmmm
[05:45] <ross`__> can anyone tell me a good online rpg that you can download from repo
[05:45] <ross`__> or just a good rpg
[05:45] <ross`__> doesn't need good graphics
[05:45] <ross`__> just fun
[05:45] <ryrys> dopewars :3
[05:45] <AlexHoover> Zimbo, I did "sudo pico -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[05:45] <Dr_willis> !info crossfire | ross`__
[05:45] <AlexHoover> Worked fine.
[05:45] <ubotu> ross`__: Package crossfire does not exist in gutsy
[05:45] <ani1> ross`__: planeshift is a poor mans WoW but not in repo
[05:45] <Dr_willis> Ack
[05:45] <Zimbo> Alex: Great
[05:45] <Dr_willis> !find crossfire
[05:45] <ubotu> Found: crossfire-client, crossfire-client-gtk, crossfire-client-gtk2, crossfire-client-images, crossfire-client-sounds (and 7 others)
[05:45] <ryrys> ross`__, dopewars :3
[05:45] <ani1> !info crossfire hardy
[05:45] <Dr_willis> ross`__,  check out crossfire.
[05:45] <ubotu> Package crossfire does not exist in hardy
[05:45] <AlexHoover> But now I have a bigger issue - when I reboot or reload X, it doesn't automatically log back in.
[05:46] <internet_> I vnc into my linux box and it starts GNOME but the app launcher at the bottom is not there. How do I configure that?
[05:46] <AlexHoover> And remote desktop cant connect before I log back in.
[05:46] <ross`__> its funny you mention crossfire
[05:46] <ross`__> i host my own crossfire server and have for years
[05:46] <FourX4Luvn> r0bi: Oh, ok.  Well, have you looked here?  This describes how to setup exactly what you have. http://www.gagme.com/greg/linux/raid-lvm.php
[05:46] <ross`__> :)
[05:46] <AlexHoover> How do I allow remote desktop connections at the login screen?
[05:46] <Zimbo> I've apparently drunk too much of the GNU kool aid already and hence default to nano rather than pico :-)
[05:46] <ross`__> other then crossfire?
[05:46] <FourX4Luvn> :P
[05:46] <Dr_willis> ross`__,  google and look at the linux game tome site.
[05:46] <FourX4Luvn> vim all the way
[05:46] <ross`__> mmm
[05:46] <ross`__> yea but i mean
[05:46] <ross`__> suggestions, what have you personally played
[05:47] <ross`__> and find fun
[05:47] <Dr_willis> ross`__,  there was a new release of that 3d GPL MMORPG  last week i think
[05:47] <ross`__> for rpg
[05:47] <FourX4Luvn> ;-) @ Zimbo
[05:47] <Zimbo> Alex: If you change back to the original xorg.conf everything works again?
[05:47] <Dr_willis> ross`__,  IRC is the ultimate MMORPG.
[05:47] <Dr_willis> :)
[05:47] <ryrys> ross`__, i used to play dopewars, but it seems no one likes now :(
[05:47] <ross`__> is "heroes-common" and the other heroes packages the game heroes that is a stradegy turn based game
[05:47] <ryrys> gta san andreas drop it at all :B
[05:47] <AlexHoover> Zimbo: no
[05:47] <Dr_willis> Heros is a 'worms/lightcycle' type game
[05:47] <User353> hlall
[05:48] <AlexHoover> Zimbo: I just never thought of this before I set my resolutions. ;P
[05:48] <gamergod131> How can I write songs to my ipod classic?
[05:48] <internet_> I vnc into my linux box and it starts GNOME but the app launcher at the bottom is not there. How do I configure that?
[05:48] <ani1> !ipod | gamergod131
[05:48] <ubotu> gamergod131: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod
[05:49] <ross`__> there was a game for windows.. innerspace can you play that with linux
[05:49] <Dr_willis> internet_,  how are you running vnc?
[05:49] <ross`__> its a game where you go thru all of your directories collecting icons as money
[05:49] <ross`__> its really fun
[05:49] <Zimbo> Alex: So you changed resolutions with the GUI and things broke?  Hmm... I'm unfortunately not knowledgable enough to be of much help, I think.  (I had something similar to what you're getting happen once when I updated KDE and it took me quite a bit of Googling to eventually find the one magic file that the update corrupted and "fix" it...)
[05:49] <Dr_willis> ross`__,  check the wine app database I guess see if wine can handle it
[05:49] <Piffer> is there a commander keen for linux?
[05:49] <Dr_willis> !appdb | ross`__
[05:49] <ubotu> ross`__: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org
[05:49] <internet_> Dr: Do you mean as a multisession?
[05:49] <Dr_willis> Piffer,  dosbox can run that. :)
[05:50] <Dr_willis> internet_,  you can run vnc to share the CURRENT desktop from gnome, or you can run 'vncserver'
[05:50] <Starnestommy> internet_: right click on the bottom panel, select "Add to panel", scroll down to "Utilities", select "Run application", then hit "add"
[05:50] <ross`__> mmm
[05:50] <internet_> vncserver
[05:50] <r0bi> FourX4Luvn: Yeah, that was one of the sites I used to help set it up. It works great, I jsut appear to lose the array after I reboot. Right now I just wrote my own startup script to run "modprobe md" & " mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/hdc1 /dev/hde1 /dev/hdg1" & "mount /mnt/raid5" upon booting, but I know there is a better way to achieve this :p
[05:50] <ross`__> is there a way to do somethign like apt-get install with wine?
[05:50] <ross`__> for windows stuff?
[05:50] <tag> Is there a way for me to add a folder to the "Places" menu?
[05:50] <tag> A non-network folder
[05:50] <deformation> tag yes
[05:51] <Dr_willis> internet_,  the file .vnc/xstartup defines what gets ran by default. It may need to be running 'gnome-session' instead of whatever its running now. I tend to use VERY light wndow managers for vnc. the full gnome destop can get real sluggush
[05:51] <r0bi> FourX4Luvn: actually, I put "md" in /etc/modules
[05:51] <ani1> ross`__: check out winedoors its unsupported but its probably what your looking for
[05:51] <tag> well of course there is a way
[05:51] <Dr_willis> tag,  drag/drop it to the places thing on the left side of the file manager
[05:51] <tag> oh
[05:51] <tag> nice
[05:51] <FourX4Luvn> r0bi: Yes, you're right, there is.. I thought the article said where to put what so it would mount at startup...
[05:51] <tag> nautilus ftw!
[05:51] <Dr_willis> tag,  and so bvious people overlook it.
[05:51] <Dr_willis> tag,  untill you do it by mistake. :)
[05:52] <internet_> Dr: I set it to gnome-session but the app launcher bar at the menu is not there.
[05:52] <ross`__> winedoors lets you install packages similar to apt-get install?
[05:52] <FourX4Luvn> r0bi: Right.. But how does one mount them in fstab.. The raid volume or the LVM volume?  LVM since LVM contains the RAID volumes?  I wouldn't know for sure on that one
[05:52] <internet_> I don't need it but my SO does
[05:53] <Dr_willis> internet_,  You did restart the vncsession,  make it run a terminal, and run it from a command line. It may not like having 2 gnome sessions going at the same time.. yet ANOTHER reason  i dont use gnome for my vnc desktop
<font color="#FF>0000">.<b><font color="#FF0000">.<b><font color="#FF>0000">.<b><font color="#FF0000">.
[05:53] <r0bi> FourX4Luvn: yeah my fstab is /dev/mapper/volGrp2-logVol0  /mnt/raid5 xfs...etc
[05:53] <crashhandler> <_<;
[05:54] <FourX4Luvn> r0bi: Oh.. ok.. so your only problem is the module isn't being loaded?
[05:54] <tag> Dr_willis: I always have that side pane hidden
[05:54] <tag> Dr_willis: so I kind of forgot about it
[05:54] <Dr_willis> tag,  :)
[05:54] <internet_> Dr: u recommend xfce or enlightment?
[05:54] <Alives> how do you reinstall a package and make it re-write its configs when it reinstalls?
[05:54] <Dr_willis> internet_,  depend son wha tyou want . I dont like enlightenment at all. - for vnc i tend to use jwm

[05:55] <Dr_willis> Alives,  remove it with the PURGE option, and reinstall it.
[05:55] <FourX4Luvn> Alives: sudo dpkg-reconfigure <package>
[05:55] <Alives> thx!!
[05:55] <Dr_willis> depending on the package. :)
[05:55] <Alives> php5
[05:55] <gamergod131> is there a command to make compiz use emerald theme manager on start up?
[05:56] <_kavOOr_> compiz --replace -c emerald &
[05:56] <FourX4Luvn> Alives: Ahh.. Then do Dr_willis' command instead
[05:56] <fly> ...
[05:56] <druke> gamergod131, as _kavOOr_ said or use compiz fusion icon for easy setup
[05:56] <gamergod131> ahh, my panels disapeard
[05:56] <FourX4Luvn> Alives: 'sudo apt-get remove --purge php5 && sudo apt-get reinstall php5'
[05:56] <Alives> use which app to remove?  aptitude?  apt-get?  dpkg?
[05:57] <Alives> ok
[05:57] <r0bi> FourX4Luvn: once I added md to /etc/modules it (naturally) loaded md, but a if you cat /proc/mdstat, md0 isn't listed. (without loading md, mdstat doesn't exist) only after reassembling the raid you get md0 : active raid5 hdc1[0] hdg1[2] hde1[1]

[05:57] <_kavOOr_> gamergod131: U can also use compiz switch
[05:57] <gamergod131> so did the border window
[05:57] <Chris_____> I've been having trouble installing Gusty (7.10) of Ubuntu. Every time I try installing, it starts then it drops me into BusyBox. I searched the forums, wiki, and Google.
[05:57] <Alives> if i remove --purge why not install instead of reinstall?
[05:57] <druke> gamergod131, did you have emerald installed?
[05:57] <gamergod131> yes
[05:57] <r0bi> FourX4Luvn: and only then can you mount /mnt/raid5
[05:58] <gamergod131> I installed it just a second ago
[05:58] <FourX4Luvn> Alives: 'reinstall' will not check for the package on the internet.  You already have it in /var/cache/apt/archive
[05:58] <Alives> oh cool
[05:58] <druke> gamergod131, try 'compiz --replace'
[05:58] <druke> gamergod131, then install compiz switch or compiz fusion icon
[05:58] <Alives> FourX4Luvn: so when i remove --purge im getting dependancy issues... how do i tell it to ignore that?
[05:58] <gamergod131> How do I get tothe terminal?

[05:59] <ross`__> is stratagus fun
[05:59] <orksnork> anyone feel up to giving a fairly new ubuntu guy a hand?
[05:59] <FourX4Luvn> r0bi: Odd.. never seen anyone that ran lvm over raid, so I really have no suggestions for you.  I know what you're seeing isn't normal, but no idea how to fix it.. sorry
[05:59] <FourX4Luvn> Alives: add '--force' too
[05:59] <druke> orksnork, just ask, its actually against the rules ot ask if you can ask ;)
[06:00] <orksnork> doh! :D
[06:00] <orksnork> ok
[06:00] <ross`__> Dr_willis: have you played stratagus, and if so. is it fun?
[06:00] <Alives> $ sudo apt-get remove --purge --force libapache2-mod-php5 libphp-adodb php5 php5-cli php5-common php5-mysql php5-snmp
[06:00] <Alives> E: Command line option --force is not understood
[06:00] <r0bi> FourX4Luvn: no problem, I appreciate you listening to me though :)
[06:01] <orksnork> Well, I've got a Canon PIXMA IP4000 that I just hooked up, grabbed from a PC house, worked perfectly fine, and after hooking it up, finding the right driver, everything seems fine...but it's printing things in the top right corner, as if the paper was 4x6 post card or something
[06:01] <FourX4Luvn> Alives: oops.. it's '--force-yes'
[06:01] <orksnork> ive checked the settings, it's set for A4
[06:01] <Alives> cool
[06:01] <orksnork> everything seems right....
[06:01] <lachlan> in ubuntu is there a back up program to back up all my files (and settings if possibele) so when 8.04 is released i can run a clean install?
[06:01] <Dr_willis> ross`__,  nope. never heard of it
[06:01] <cyntek> im very confused on how to set up window client to access Hard drive on a ubuntu system.
[06:01] <Chris_____> I've been having trouble installing Gusty (7.10) of Ubuntu. Every time I try installing, it starts then it drops me into BusyBox. I searched the forums, wiki, and Google.
[06:02] <Chris_____> :/
[06:02] <Cpudan80> cyntek: How do you want the windows client to access the machine?
[06:02] <nikrud> orksnork if you print something longer than one page, does it use a separate page for each? (if you say yes, I'm not thinking of the right thing)
[06:02] <FourX4Luvn> lachlan: Probably the easiest way to do that would be simplebackup.. I'll dig up a URL.. gimmie a second...
[06:02] <Cpudan80> cyntek: Do you want to do a direct access from within windows? (ie. as a hard drive)?
[06:02] <nikrud> !sbackup
[06:02] <ubotu> sbackup is a tool to create complete and/or incremental backups (which can be scheduled to be automatic, and can be done over a network). It is available in !Universe
[06:02] <cyntek> well, I have one hard drive that my girlfriend needs access to from her windows xp
[06:02] <xpistos_>  night everyone
[06:02] <Q_Continuum> Interesting Issue: Dell e1505, came with 7.04, currently running 7.10.  Does NOT hibernate when battery is 'critically low' - it just keeps going until it dies, then loses power.
[06:03] <cyntek> with Read and write access.
[06:03] <orksnork> nikrud: yes, i printed a 17 page pdf doc, and it printed each page, but just each in the top corner
[06:03] <FourX4Luvn> lachlan: http://www.debianadmin.com/backup-and-restore-your-ubuntu-system-using-sbackup.html
[06:03] <orksnork> and thank you, i appreciate the help
[06:03] <ross`__> anyway i have selected my packages
[06:03] <orksnork> i just recently got into ubuntu, and it's the best move ive ever made
[06:03] <Cpudan80> cyntek: Are the hard drives in the same physical machine?
[06:03] <cyntek> That's it, all i wanna do.
[06:03] <nikrud> orksnork then it's not 4 up prining like I suspected. I've only got experience with hp printers
[06:03] <ross`__> im gonna go to sleep now, and hope they will be done without error when i awake
[06:03] <cyntek> The hard drive is in my ubunto machine
[06:03] <ross`__> see ya all!
[06:04] <orksnork> hrm ok...
[06:04] <Cpudan80> cyntek: So you want her to access your HD remotely?
[06:04] <FourX4Luvn> !samba | cyntek
[06:04] <ubotu> cyntek: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT.
[06:04] <orksnork> Anyone else have any ideas?
[06:04] <Cpudan80> If so... then you need what FourX4Luvn said
[06:04] <cyntek> Yes, with read and write access
[06:04] <mhall53> can someone help me get my broadcom wireless card working, i have tried every online tutorial i could find
[06:04] <lachlan> FourX4luven ahh thank you. now would i also be able to use that to back up the windows partition i use with my ubuntu system? (windows is broken but i still need the files
[06:05] <AnthraxDream> Hi
[06:05] <AnthraxDream> Can I get some help real quick?
[06:05] <FourX4Luvn> lachlan: Do you mount the windows partition from within Ubuntu?
[06:05] <fismoll8> cyntek: just ssh to it
[06:05] <nikrud> !ask | AnthraxDream
[06:05] <ubotu> AnthraxDream: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[06:05] <lachlan> FourX4luven yes
[06:06] <FourX4Luvn> lachlan: Yes, it will do it just fine.  Just add the directory that you have it mounted on to the 'include' tab within sbackup.
[06:06] <AnthraxDream> What kind of parition is needed on the hard drive ubuntu is going to be installed on?
[06:06] <mhall53> lol do anyone know hwo to install a broadcom wireless card
[06:06] <nikrud> AnthraxDream ext3 is the best general usage file system
[06:06] <ad_267> AnthraxDream: You need an ext3 partition as well as a swap partion
[06:07] <AnthraxDream> I need two partitions?
[06:07] <lachlan> FourX4luven your name wouldnt happen to be a reference to the queensland beer XXXX
[06:07] <FourX4Luvn> lachlan: Nope :)  Refers to my other hobby besides computers... Offroading.
[06:07] <ad_267> The swap partition is usually about 2 times the size of your ram, so it's not going to be very large
[06:08] <Xpistos> Now, this is much better than Xchat
[06:08] <nikrud> AnthraxDream yes. One for the os, and one for swap. the swap only needs to be about 512mb , unless it's a laptop. Then it should be ram size plus 100mb, roughly
[06:08] <AnthraxDream> Thanks love!
[06:08] <Xpistos> nikrud - why should the swap be different on a laptop?
[06:08] <lachlan> FourX4luven righto. been was the first thing to cross my mind lol
[06:09] <nikrud> Xpistos room for hibernate
[06:09] <orksnork> Xpistos: what client are you using?
[06:09] <mhall53> does anyone know how?
[06:09] <Xpistos> but, if I have it shut off then I don''t need it correct
[06:09] <Xpistos> I am using Pidgin
[06:09] <ad_267> Hmm there's lots of different opinions on what swap size should be
[06:09] <Xpistos> I just go with 512
[06:09] <Xpistos> regardless
[06:09] <nikrud> Xpistos no, swap is used to save ram contents during hibernate.
[06:10] <Xpistos> okay
[06:10] <Xpistos> for me, I don't use hibernate, but I will adjust in the future for clients
[06:10] <nikrud> I don't use it often, only when the battery is low and I'm not sure it'll last thru suspend
[06:10] <Xpistos> true
[06:10] <orksnork> Well, I've got a Canon PIXMA IP4000 that I just hooked up, grabbed from a PC house, worked perfectly fine, and after hooking it up, finding the right driver, everything seems fine...but it's printing things in the top right corner, as if the paper was 4x6 post card or something, even when printing multiple pages, it just uses the top left area and makes everything tiny
[06:10] <orksnork> any ideas?
[06:11] <cyntek> I show that "System>Administration>Shared Folders is Setup
[06:11] <FourX4Luvn> nikrud: Is that unique to Linux?  I recall Windows saying that you needed 200-300MB for hibernate.
[06:11] <Xpistos> I just get nervous back in my microshaft days that people would give their paging files like double ram size
[06:11] <Xpistos> can you say thrashing?
[06:11] <ad_267> orksnork: sorry I can't help you really, but Canon's are one of the worst printer brands for Linux support from my experience
[06:11] <nikrud> FourX4Luvn all I know is I had 1gb mem, and 1gb swap. I couldn't hibernate and syslog told me swap was too small. Others who know more than me suggested the 100mb cushion.
[06:12] <nikrud> I have 2gb now (each) and hibernate just fine though
[06:12] <orksnork> ad: that's unfortunate...freebie, and it's a pretty nice printer actually...
[06:12] <ad_267> I've got a Canon iP1600 and I had to use the iP2200 drivers which work OK, it was a very cheap printer though, costs less than the cartridges i think
[06:12] <nikrud> tttthhhrrraaashhhhiniiing
[06:12] <FourX4Luvn> nikrud: Hrm.. Ok.  I never new that.. Explains why my old laptop wouldn't hibernate   lol.
[06:13] <orksnork> ad: thanks, im reading things like that, i guess i'll just try a few different drivers
[06:13] <FourX4Luvn> nikrud: I always thought it just created an "encrypted" file on the drive
[06:13] <orksnork> and see if i get there
[06:13] <Xpistos> Alright my ubuntuneians I got a date with my pillow and she is a fickel mistress at that so I bid you all adeiu
[06:13] <nikrud> I didn't know either ;)
[06:13] <ad_267> orksnork, hope you get it sorted out, sorry I couldn't help more
[06:14] <Xpistos> Buenos Noches
[06:14] <FourX4Luvn> Xpistos: Pick a language :)

[06:16] <AnthraxDream> Is there a way to get windows to recognize the linux format?
[06:16] <FourX4Luvn> AnthraxDream: No
[06:16] <AnthraxDream> How would I install ubuntu onto an external harddrive then?
[06:16] <nikrud> AnthraxDream you mean read ext3?  fs-driver.org
[06:17] <Dr_willis> AnthraxDream,  windows can read ext3 see nikrud 's url
[06:17]  * FourX4Luvn raises an eyebrow
[06:17] <ad_267> AntrhaxDream: If you mean the ext3 file system there are drivers for windows, but these do not respect the file permissions and would leave your ubuntu installation vulnerable form windows

[06:17] <AnthraxDream> IS there any way to do a clean install onto the ext3 partition from within windows?
[06:18] <nikrud> explore2fs is my preferred method. No write possible ;)
[06:18] <ad_267> AnthraxDream, why can't you install from the live CD?

[06:40] <rabidpoobear> orudie: did that work for you?
[06:40] <SpaceAviator> I cant find my conkyrc file after installing conky. any ideas?
[06:40] <thedefender> Oprtz: since it is that mean nobody knows the chipset which means there is no way to tell linux the chipset instructions (how to interface with the camera)
[06:40] <rabidpoobear> SpaceAviator: did you try searching for it w/ find?
[06:41] <killown> hey how I get gnome 2.22 on apt?
[06:41] <thedefender> Oprtz: the only reason windows can use it is because its chipset was designed to work with windows built in digicam interface
[06:41] <SpaceAviator> rabidpoobear: how do I do that? find conkyrc ?
[06:41] <rabidpoobear> thedefender: linux should be able to support a webcam standard
[06:41] <Oprtz> :(
[06:42] <Oprtz> so cant i use my acer note book camera with linux too ?
[06:42] <rabidpoobear> SpaceAviator: find / conkyrc     should work, if that's the file name
[06:42] <thedefender> Oprtz: right now a bunch of developers are trying to reverse engineer the chipset instructions.
[06:42] <Oprtz> thats good news
[06:43] <thedefender> Oprtz: until they do you can't use that camera
[06:43]  * noble- checks out
[06:43] <thedefender> Oprtz: as for the acer, either check it on the compatibility list or just plug it in
[06:43] <Oprtz> i wish ubuntu release verison 8 soon with support to webcam
[06:44] <Oprtz> its a builtin camera
[06:44] <thedefender> oprtz: wel ubuntu supports webcams, just not the piece of crap $20 ones.
[06:44] <SpaceAviator> can someone suggest a good WM with a systray and the likes... I am tired of blackbox, xfce...
[06:44] <Oprtz> lol
[06:45] <thedefender> oprtz: that webcam was made in some sweat shop in china with no regards for standards
[06:45] <thedefender> SpaceAviator: have you tried AWN
[06:45] <SpaceAviator> thedefender: thats what you get for $20 :P
[06:45] <SpaceAviator> not yet thedefender
[06:45] <thedefender> !AWN
[06:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about awn - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:45] <FourX4Luvn> SpaceAviator: Also would look at icewm
[06:45] <thedefender> hmm
[06:46] <Sonderblade> firefox has switched to arabic keyboard input.. how do i get it back??
[06:46] <rabidpoobear> ! icewm
[06:46] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about icewm - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:46] <SpaceAviator> FourX4Luvn: that looks like crap mate
[06:46] <SpaceAviator> !awesomewm
[06:46] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about awesomewm - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:46] <rabidpoobear> SpaceAviator: did you find what you were lookign for?
[06:47] <thedefender> SpacAviator: http://wiki.awn-project.org/DistributionGuides#Gutsy_Gibbon_.287.10.29
[06:47] <SpaceAviator> rabidpoobear: its weird. I cant find it. yet conky loads
[06:47] <thedefender> SpaceAviator: http://wiki.awn-project.org/DistributionGuides#Gutsy_Gibbon_.287.10.29
[06:48] <SpaceAviator> thedefender: oh. I have used awn. I want a WM. Not a dock, mate
[06:48] <Sinnerman> is there a way to disable trackerd and scrollkeeper for good?
[06:48] <thedefender> SpaceAviator: aye
[06:48] <thedefender> well
[06:48] <Dr_willis> !info jwm
[06:48] <ubotu> jwm (source: jwm): Very small lightweight pure X11 window manager with tray and menus. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.5-1 (gutsy), package size 82 kB, installed size 268 kB
[06:48] <thedefender> SpaceAviator I use it as window manager
[06:49] <FourX4Luvn> SpaceAviator: I have no idea what the default install looks like, I haven't used it in years.. but it's quite configurable.
[06:49] <Oprtz> thedefender: how to switch to undernet server? plz name any thanks

[06:50] <SpaceAviator> thedefender: WM as in gnome, xfce :P
[06:50] <FourX4Luvn> SpaceAviator: For instance.. if you like the way KDE looks, check out the elberg theme..http://themes.freshmeat.net/screenshots/41813/44570/
[06:51] <thedefender> SpaceAviator: how about enlightenment?
[06:51] <thedefender> SaceAviator: tried that yet
[06:51] <SpaceAviator> thedefender: thats kinda crap too. no systray.
[06:51] <SpaceAviator> you gotta get modules and compile stuff to get just a systray
[06:51] <SpaceAviator> I think I will get openbox with pypanel
[06:52] <thedefender> this to much damn work
[06:52] <Dr_willis> use somthing else then. :)
[06:52] <xanderp> having ntp problems... i have setup my ntp.conf to use pool.ntp.org, but my system time won't keep synched with it.  I have /etc/init.d/ntp running, but it appears to not be updating the system time.
[06:52] <thedefender> if its like this all the time, Microsoft and Mac will always be the slave masters of software
[06:53] <Dr_willis> thedefender,  you do not want to get me started on the 4 hrs i spent today working on a windows machine...
[06:54] <thedefender> Dr.willis: yeah but for a snazzy interface for browsing, email, messenging, and games Vista and MAC make it very easy
[06:54] <safiyyah> combination keys suddenly not working e.g alf+f2; super + tab (other than ctrl+alt+del) it was working fine, but failed in the last 2 boot-ups, what is going on?
[06:54] <FourX4Luvn> xanderp: what happens if you run ntpdate?
[06:54] <Dr_willis> i had to 'remove' the snazzy bits.. that were slowing the machine down.
[06:54] <xanderp> ntpdate pool.ntp.org will successfully update my system time.
[06:55] <Dr_willis> gave the wife Pidgen instead of yahoo messenger. :) shes much happier now.
[06:55] <thedefender> Dr.willis: sounds like a machine that shouldn't run vista
[06:55] <Dr_willis> thedefender,  its not running vista.. i removed that about a week after she got it.
[06:55] <safiyyah> guys... anyone help me?
[06:56] <Dr_willis> after cleaning it all out..its running at a decent speed now. :) Not sure what all was slowing it down. but at least its useable now.
[06:57] <thedefender> Dr_willis: I guess we should be thankful for windows and mac, if everyone ran something like ubuntu, they would never screw anything up and then all those tech guys would be homeless

[06:57] <kenboo> no ; needed after do
[06:57] <AlferedHichcok> kenboo,  ok
[06:58] <safiyyah> combination keys suddenly not working e.g alf+f2; super + tab (other than ctrl+alt+del) it was working fine, but failed in the last 2 boot-ups, what is going on?

[06:58] <mhall53> does anyone know how to get a broadcom wireless card working i cant get it to
[06:59] <thedefender> mhall53: have you installed ndiswrapper?
[06:59] <marjan> where can i turn off the firewall? or whatever its blocking me to open some pages?
[06:59] <user4> hantu
[06:59] <xanderp> FourX4Luvn: http://www.pastebin.org/24944
[07:00] <thedefender> marjan: that depends on if its ubuntu blocking you or your router.
[07:00] <thedefender> marjan: what exactly are you trying to open?
[07:00] <marjan> www.t-mobile.com.mk :) this thedefender
[07:01] <thedefender> marjan: what is that russian?
[07:01] <marjan> no
[07:01] <marjan> The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
[07:02] <marjan> its macedonian
[07:02] <thedefender> I can view it just fine, so it isn't ubuntu.
[07:02] <FourX4Luvn> xanderp: And what does your /etc/ntp.conf file look like?
[07:02] <Sinnerman> how do i permanently disable trackerd and scrollkeeper?
[07:02] <AlferedHichcok> kenboo,   what will this script do exactly?
[07:02] <thedefender> i forget whats scrollkeeper
[07:03] <thedefender> !scrollkeeper
[07:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about scrollkeeper - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[07:03] <marjan> maybe my mozilla how can i set it to open? thedefender
[07:03] <xanderp> FourX4Luvn: http://www.pastebin.org/24945
[07:03] <thedefender> marjan: so you can visit other websites but not this one
[07:04] <marjan> yeap
[07:04] <thedefender> marjan: what version of ubuntu are you running
[07:04] <RabidWeezle> anyone know how to load up links 2 in svgalib or framebuffer mode?
[07:04] <marjan> 04
[07:04] <marjan> 7.04
[07:05] <FAJALO1> my shift s key has suddenly stopped working, does anyone know why?
[07:06] <AlferedHichcok> kenade_,  i have a.txt and b.txt i want to past words from a.txt to c.txt (only the words that do not match words in b.txt
[07:06] <FourX4Luvn> xanderp: ok.. 'grep ntp /var/log/daemon.log'
[07:06] <thedefender> marjan: do you have flash installed?
[07:06] <kenboo> AlferedHichcok, I'd write  for word in `cat x.txt`; do grep -q $word b.txt && echo $word >>c.txt; done
[07:06] <xanderp> FourX4Luvn: my peerstats shows a 9014 as it's status
[07:06] <xanderp> will do
[07:06] <RabidWeezle> FAJALO1, your shift key?
[07:06] <marjan> yes thedefender
[07:06] <kenboo> oops x.txt -> a.txt
[07:06] <FAJALO1> RabidWeezle, yah but only with the s key
[07:07] <marjan> i can open youtube thedefender
[07:07] <FAJALO1> RabidWeezle all of the other keys work with shift.
[07:07] <RabidWeezle> now that is strange
[07:07] <thedefender> hmmm
[07:07] <thedefender> well the fact i can open means that its not ubuntu cause i am running a fresh install
[07:07] <FAJALO1> RabidWeezle, yah i know,
[07:07] <greeg> hi
[07:07] <RabidWeezle> did you try both shift buttons?
[07:07] <RabidWeezle> or caps lock?
[07:08] <thedefender> rabidweezle:lol
[07:08] <greeg> all applications, except Dia can see my printer. why.
[07:08] <FAJALO1> neither one works, but caps lock works normally
[07:08] <greeg> the only printer dia sees is lpr.  and when i attempt to print, Dia gives the error, lpr: Error - no default destination available.
[07:08] <RabidWeezle> try a different keyboard?
[07:08] <greeg> open office can print. gwenview can print.
[07:08] <marjan> how can i remove any firewalls or proxyes
[07:08] <FAJALO1> it just started.
[07:08] <FAJALO1> i've been using ubuntu for a week and no abnormality
[07:08] <RabidWeezle> You got an extra keyboard floating around?
[07:08] <xanderp> FourX4Luvn: http://www.pastebin.org/24946
[07:09] <FAJALO1> i could come up with one prolly
[07:09] <safiyyah> combination keys suddenly not working e.g alf+f2; super + tab (other than ctrl+alt+del) it was working fine, but failed in the last 2 boot-ups, what is going on?
[07:09] <thedefender> marjan: well ubuntu doesn't run a firewall or proxy
[07:09] <Gnea> greeg: using cups?
[07:09] <RabidWeezle> does shift+S work in console FAJALO1 ?
[07:09] <FAJALO1> but i don't think it has to do with the s key, and everything else
[07:09] <kounryusui> marjan: I think Feisty has no firewall enabled upon install
[07:09] <thedefender> marjan: it has a closed port policy instead
[07:09] <FAJALO1> which console rabidweezle?
[07:10] <RabidWeezle> like pressing ctrl+alt+f2
[07:10] <thedefender> marjan: but you don't need any ports open to go to that site
[07:10] <thedefender> sounds like your ISP is blocking U
[07:10] <thedefender> marjan
[07:10] <RabidWeezle> (ctrl+alt+f7 gets you back to X)
[07:10] <kounryusui> marjan: how about trying to access that site via proxy to see if it works?
[07:11] <RabidWeezle> probly should have told him that in the first line...
[07:11] <threefcata> how to mount a ntfs partition using command line? it said my partition is no cleanly shutdown.
[07:12] <towlie> --force
[07:12] <Slart> threefcata: there is a force switch you can use...don't know if it will kill your drive though
[07:12] <RabidWeezle> threefcata, I had the same problem, try booting your partition, see if it boots at all
[07:12] <towlie> it doesnt kill the drive
[07:12] <towlie> ive used it before
[07:12] <EdwardXp3> im trying to make a folder part of the root group, how do i ?
[07:12] <AlferedHichcok> kenboo,   not working.. wil this work ?   comm -2 -3 a.txt b.txt > c.txt
[07:12] <FourX4Luvn> xanderp: 'ntpq -c peers'
[07:12] <towlie> is anyone using the firefox 3 bta in ubuntu
[07:12] <RabidWeezle> I just had the same issue today on my windows xp partition, turns out the thing wouldn't even boot into safe mode :/
[07:13] <threefcata> i wanna know what i should put after -t
[07:13] <individual_eleve> hello
[07:13] <xanderp> FourX4Luvn: http://www.pastebin.org/24947
[07:13] <Slart> threefcata: ntfs-3g might work.. but it's in the man page.. man mount
[07:13] <xanderp> FourX4Luvn: I've just recently done a ntpdate peer.ntp.org and I'm already drifted by 9 seconds...
[07:13] <greeg> Gnea: cups is listening yes.
[07:14]  * RabidWeezle just used a gparted livecd to wipe the partition and resize it down to 70 megs so it wouldn't mess up his grub setup
[07:14] <EdwardXp3> the directory is owned bysomeone else "edward"  and not root... how do i make it a root folder?
[07:14] <greeg> why doesent Dia print, just like all the other applications do.
[07:14] <individual_eleve> i have a laptop running xp with  40g hard disk..i only have 256 mb of ram,used to have 512,corrosion on memory slot caused me to remove the other set of ram
[07:15] <greeg> great, now im gonna have to walk all the way to the computer lab, download dia, and print there.
[07:15] <FAJALO2> ok well rabidweezle, i hit ctrl alt f2 and i went into tty2
[07:15] <individual_eleve> can i still dual boot ubuntu and xp
[07:15] <FAJALO2> so i had to reboot
[07:15] <Gnea> greeg: you'll have to call lpr like this: lpr -P <printername>  (whatever is defined in /etc/cups/printer.conf )
[07:15] <RabidWeezle> ctrl+alt+f7 brings you back from a tty FAJALO1
[07:15] <FAJALO2> thanks good to know,
[07:15] <FAJALO2> know that i do,
[07:15] <FAJALO2> ...
[07:15] <thedefender> marjan: yes, if you can find a proxy try that, then you will know its not ubuntu, its your ISP, maybe T-mobile is there competitor
[07:16] <RabidWeezle> check to see if you can shift+s in the tty
[07:16] <greeg> Gnea: thanx, but why couldnt linux do that for me, when i selected my printer ?
[07:16] <FourX4Luvn> xanderp: Your internal clock is hosed I'm afraid.. ntpd is working.. But if your clock drifts that quickly, my bet is that it's simply drifting faster than ntpd can slew the time....
[07:16] <Gnea> greeg: you can setup an alias in .bash_aliases like this:  alias lpr="lpr -P <printername>" and then just logout/login to X again, should fix it to do it automatically
[07:17] <FAJALO2> SSS
[07:17] <RabidWeezle> wee
[07:17] <FAJALO2> hmmm, rabidweezle, must have been a fluke
[07:17] <Gnea> greeg: because it's not perfect yet :)
[07:17] <RabidWeezle> yeah, it happens
[07:17] <FAJALO2> b/c it wasn't then i restarted and poof.
[07:17] <FAJALO2> thanks again
[07:17] <threefcata> and how do i know which device is which partition?
[07:17] <RabidWeezle> no problem
[07:17] <RabidWeezle> weirdest damn fulke I've ever seen lol
[07:18] <RabidWeezle> fluke*
[07:18] <EdwardXp3> i used the command chgrp  :: i and i got this,
[07:18]  * RabidWeezle sits around for another question
[07:18] <EdwardXp3> edward root     4096 2008-03-22 23:22 baseq3
[07:18] <RabidWeezle> quake 3 ehh?
[07:18] <RabidWeezle> ^_^
[07:18] <EdwardXp3> how can i make it root root on the folder ?
[07:19] <xanderp> FourX4Luvn: the odd thing is that I didn't have this problem before reloading this machine. (was fedora, now ubuntu)  It wouldn't be a problem, but I use this box as a recording system for mythtv, and the time being off causes recordings to be started/stopped at the wrong time.
[07:19] <RabidWeezle> chown it?
[07:19] <EdwardXp3> RabidWeezle, im having problems with the sound :(
[07:19] <FourX4Luvn> EdwardXp3: 'sudo chown root:root baseq3'
[07:19] <RabidWeezle> ooh
[07:19] <RabidWeezle> that's that damn OSS crap
[07:19] <RabidWeezle> EdwardXp3, are you running esd?
[07:19] <greeg> Gnea: do you use Dia ?
[07:20] <EdwardXp3> whats that?
[07:20] <RabidWeezle> EdwardXp3, goto System>Prefferences>sound
[07:20] <xp_prg> how can I change my color depth to 24bb?
[07:20] <FourX4Luvn> xanderp: Well.. I know it's a hack, and not the best solution, but a temporary work around would be to disable ntpd and create a cronjob to run, say every 5 minutes, to just run ntpdate
[07:20] <EdwardXp3> HDA NVidia alsa
[07:20] <RabidWeezle> EdwardXp3, goto the second tab and unclick the esd button then try to run it again
[07:20] <xanderp> FourX4Luvn: i'd be willing to have a cron job run every 10 minutes to manually do ntpdate to keep it synched, but I'm not sure how to force /etc/init.d/ntp not to run on reboot, and then how to make ntpdate run as a cron job that often...
[07:21] <RabidWeezle> it should be the 2nd checkmark EdwardXp3
[07:21] <xanderp> FourX4Luvn: hehe... was typing that as your message popped up.
[07:21] <EdwardXp3> ok
[07:21] <RabidWeezle> if that doesn't work you need to play with OSS Emulation through alsa
[07:21] <Gnea> greeg: yes
[07:22] <EdwardXp3> doesnt' work
[07:22] <xp_prg> can anyone help me please?
[07:22] <xanderp> FourX4Luvn: does the drift file indicate the amount of drift, or CAUSE an amount of drift?
[07:22] <greeg> Gnea: so printed a hard copy of my use case.  It takes up the whole Page.  How can i "shrink" my drawing yet have visable on screen ?
[07:22] <RabidWeezle> the problem is EdwardXp3 is it tries to directly access /dev/dsp...
[07:22] <RabidWeezle> it's the OLD way of doing audio in games...
[07:23] <Gnea> greeg: check the size of the page itself (make it fullscreen) and see where the lines are drawn
[07:23] <netham45> I have a corrupted Windows NTFS drive, is there a tool I can use from an Ubuntu LiveCD to restore it?
[07:23] <EdwardXp3> Rabbitbunny,  i know thats' in the config file
[07:23] <Gnea> netham45: ntfsfix
[07:23] <netham45> ntfsfix doesn't do anything
[07:23] <EdwardXp3> RabidWeezle,  what should i do?
