[09:15] <gunspoja> 7.04 is a more recent version
[09:15] <gunspoja> has more up-to-date software
[09:15] <wolfsong> .08?
[09:15] <riotkittie> npillowpats: ten months, give or take
[09:15] <gunspoja> but is not supported as much
[09:15] <wolfsong> :P
[09:15] <J-23> What kernel params I need for Ubuntu?
[09:15] <riotkittie> tahnk you, thank you'll be here all week
[09:16] <aLeSD> Do I have to install vmware workstation from the tar file ? Or exist a package for ubuntu ?
[09:16] <xerxe> hello guys! whenever i play a movie, i got a green bar on top of the movie window? how can i get rid of it?
[09:18] <Elda> Wee found it... was hidden under usr bin
[09:18] <npillowpats> gunspoja : im just going to make a home file server
[09:18] <npillowpats> will it still fullfill my intended purposes?
[09:18] <xerxe> hello guys! whenever i play a movie, i got a green bar on top of the movie window? how can i get rid of it?
[09:18] <gunspoja> npillowpats, 7.04 should be fine
[09:18] <gunspoja> make sure to get the 32-bit version too
[09:19] <npillowpats> gunspoja : why would i need the 32 bit ver as well?
[09:19] <wolfsong> npillowpats: is it "just" going to be a file server?
[09:19] <gunspoja> not "as well", i mean get the 32-bit version of ubuntu
[09:19] <gunspoja> there is a 32-bit and a 64-bit version
[09:20] <gunspoja> lots of people go and download the 64-bit version, don't know what that actually means, and then come back in here complaining that this or that doesn't work properly, so I'm saving you the trauma and wasted time/bandwidth
[09:21] <kkathman> gunspoja:  well, most decent configs will run 64-bit just fine
[09:21] <gunspoja> yeah, they will run 64bit ubuntu just fine
[09:22] <gunspoja> but 64bit ubuntu sometimes has a bit of trouble running 3rd-party software
[09:22] <kkathman> in fact linux is much better running 64 than any other OS
[09:22] <npillowpats> wolfsong: yeah, just a file server
[09:22] <vcool> is the 64bit faster than 32bit on 64bit machine ?
[09:22] <kkathman> depends on the 3rd party  :)
[09:22] <gunspoja> very slightly, on some architectures
[09:22] <wolfsong> npillowpats: have you looked at FreeNAS?
[09:22] <gunspoja> kkathman, that is obviously the case.
[09:22] <vcool> how significant ?
[09:23] <gunspoja> not enough to compensate for the lack of compatible software
[09:23] <kkathman> most companies/devs havent gotten very good at coding 64 bit apps properly

[09:30] <gunspoja> xerxe, I certainly hope not
[09:30] <vcool> what movie player ?
[09:30] <xerxe> i use fglrx, xorg, desktop effect, vcool
[09:30] <Electrosys> is beryl what i want to install for ubuntu as far as opengl accelerated desktops go?
[09:31] <gunspoja> Electrosys, no it is not.  you want compiz-fusion
[09:31] <Ignite> Electrosys, Compiz is installed by default in Feisty, go to the control panel then "desktop effects".
[09:31] <vcool> try this : $gstreamer-properties
[09:31] <gunspoja> desktop effects is tame compared to compiz-fusion
[09:32] <gunspoja> it has like, 3 features
[09:32] <gunspoja> compiz-fusion has about NINE THOUSAND
[09:32] <Ignite> Then install a better control panel.
[09:32] <vcool> in video tab, choose X Window System as default plugin output

[09:32] <cyberphaz> 9000 bazillion gamillion
[09:32] <vcool> then try to play the movie again

[09:33] <marckie> hi! my java doesn't seem to work...
[09:33] <marckie> hmmmm...
[09:34] <Ignite> marckie, have you installed sun-java6-jre?
[09:34] <marckie> already did
[09:34] <marckie> already in my about:plugins page also
[09:34] <magnetron> !java | marckie
[09:34] <ubotu> marckie: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[09:35] <Ignite> marckie, in the terminal run "sudo update-alternatives --config java" and select the Sun jre from the list.
[09:35] <marckie> but when I go to a certain page that needs java... it fails../.
[09:35] <marckie> ^_^
[09:35] <gunspoja> ;_;
[09:35] <Ignite> marckie, you might need the sun-java6-plugin package, I think that's the name anyway...
[09:35] <Electrosys> gunspoja: thanks for the help. brb
[09:36] <gunspoja> no worries
[09:36] <guru> i'm attempting to get my Philips Semiconductors SAA7130 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev 01) working and thus far with the saa7130 driver i can get sound (no video) from Composit 1 using card=21 and i and i can get video with card=67 but not both. does anyone know what i need to do to get both video and sound working or have i just not found the right card and tuner combination yet?
[09:36] <marckie> is it in synaptic?
[09:36] <marckie> wait ill go check
[09:36] <gunspoja> guru WINS **** BEST SUPPORT QUESTION OF THE DAY ****
[09:36] <guru> heh
[09:37] <gunspoja> guru: i have absolutely no idea what hardware you are talking about there, let alone how to help you, but your question kicked ass
[09:37] <guru> heh
[09:37] <Ignite> guru, is that a TV tuner card by any chance?
[09:37] <guru> well thanks, i think
[09:37] <marckie> its not in my synaptic
[09:37] <guru> Ignite: yes, or at least it said so on the box :)
[09:37] <gunspoja> its such a breath of fresh air when people actually give useful information with their questions, instead of saying "ITS BORKEN, WHATS WRONG!"
[09:38] <Ignite> Lets see if this works.
[09:38] <cyberphaz> hes talking abouve a tv-card/video decodercard
[09:38] <guru> Ignite: it also has a radio tuner
[09:38] <Ignite> !mythtv | guru
[09:38] <ubotu> guru: MythTV is a TV framework for Linux - Instructions for using with Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV
[09:38] <Ignite> :D
[09:38] <marckie> what i installed was sun-java6-jre
[09:38] <marckie> is that different?
[09:38] <guru> Ignite: yes, but in order to use mythtv i need to configure the driver ;)
[09:38] <Ignite> marckie, there are multiple packages, one of them contains the word "plugin". You need that for java in firefox.
[09:39] <Ignite> guru, you have a point, I thought the link might cover some of that though. Was I wrong?
[09:39] <guru> here is where i am currently (s = start, . = current, X = mythtv): S            .                                                                  X
[09:39] <Ignite> Lol
[09:39] <guru> Ignite: no, not for my specific problem it does not
[09:39] <Ignite> Have you tried the forums?
[09:40] <Ignite> Somebody else probably had a similar problem.
[09:40] <guru> i can get sound and no video (and no option to change the channel) or i can get video (can change the channel) and no sound, but so far not both at the same time
[09:40] <guru> yes i did but didn't find anything useful
[09:41] <Ignite> guru, I'm of no help with TV tuners I'm afraid, I did what I could though. Sorry. :(

[09:43] <jaw> hi! i'm totally baffffled with my pseudo-network-connectivity. Running Feisty and I can ping google.com, I can do whois lookups... but I can't access any websites (not with firefox, not with lynx) Nor can I do any apt-get updates
[09:43] <cyberphaz> sounds like the firewall would be blocking it :)
[09:43] <magnetron> jaw: how are you connected?
[09:43] <guru> Ignite: no problem. thanks for the effort :)
[09:43] <jaw> If I take this same cable and plug it into my macbook it works. Also I'm on the macbook now which is coming ooff the same router / switch's connection
[09:43] <pakwarung> hellow
[09:44] <guru> jaw: did you set your dns server correctly?
[09:44] <pakwarung> can u help me
[09:44] <cyberphaz> if he can ping the domain the dns is working
[09:44] <gunspoja> hellow pakwarung
[09:45] <gunspoja> I think we can help you, pakwarung
[09:45] <pakwarung> hi guns..
[09:45] <guru> hmm...is there more than one adapter installed?
[09:45] <jaw> guru and magnetron: The connection is a little convoluted (out of my control as it's associated with landlord). A Cable Modem goes into a 5 port router, which has a line going out into a 6 port fast ethernet switch, which I get 1 line into my room, and it goes into one of the switched ports of a router. (yikes.) But I also verified with a line directly out of the main router and the situation was replicated
[09:45] <jimmyww> hi
[09:46] <pakwarung> i`m used pIII 700 MHZ ram 256 vga 32 mb share hardisk 40gb
[09:46] <vinboy_> hi
[09:46] <vinboy_> how do I use wildcard with tar?
[09:46] <jimmyww> can someone help me install ubuntu on to a usb stick
[09:46] <pakwarung> can u tell me ubuntu version what can i use??
[09:46] <gunspoja> jimmyww, www.pendrivelinux.com
[09:46] <guru> vinboy_: more than likely you need to escape the * (i.e., \*)
[09:46] <gunspoja> jimmyww, how big is your usb stick?
[09:47] <vinboy_> guru: nah it doesnt work
[09:47] <jaw> guru and magnetron: how do I determine if my DNS is set up correctly?
[09:47] <jimmyww> 1 gb
[09:47] <guru> jaw: as previously stated if ping works then dns should be good
[09:47] <gunspoja> jimmyww, you won't be able to get any of the persistent features on it, then (or at least, not much). it will be pretty much just like a live CD
[09:47] <jimmyww> and i need instructions that dont involve me needing linux to start with
[09:47] <guru> jaw: do you have more than one ethernet device installed?
[09:47] <gunspoja> jimmyww, you don't
[09:47] <jaw> guru: I'll pastie an output of ifconfig
[09:48] <pakwarung> on ubuntu 704 my mouse not detect
[09:48] <jimmyww> gunspoja, i cant use a live cd, i get an error
[09:48] <UltraNav> need help troubleshooting a multi-homed host with a VPN link. The Link works but the packets do  not seem to get any further at the multi-homed host. Forwarding is turned on in sysctl.conf, iptables FORWARDing is set to ACCEPT any ideas ?
[09:48] <jimmyww> so someone suggest booting off a live cd
[09:48] <gunspoja> jimmyww, well then it probably won't work on the usb stick either, depending what the error is
[09:48] <jimmyww> sorry usb
[09:48] <jimmyww> the error is
[09:49] <jimmyww> ill be back hang on
[09:49] <gunspoja> :/
[09:49] <pakwarung> gunspoja can i`l  pm u?
[09:49] <gunspoja> pakwarung, have you registered with nickserv?
[09:49] <pakwarung> i`m not register my nick
[09:50] <Elda> bbl
[09:50] <gunspoja> you can't pm anyone when on freenode if you haven't registered with nickserv
[09:50] <pakwarung> ouh..
[09:50] <gunspoja> so register then...its easy
[09:50] <pakwarung> can u  help me with commands for register
[09:50] <jaw> guru: Here's my ifconfig output  http://pastie.caboo.se/99828 (which interestingly enough I accessed via a shared samba drive on my macbook (this computer) --- so the connection is totally there. Perhaps it's my gateway that's acting up for http traffic
[09:51] <gunspoja> type /msg nickserv help
[09:51] <gunspoja> and that will tell you how to do it
[09:51] <jimmyww> gunspoja, the error is
[09:51] <pakwarung> thx gunspoja
[09:51] <gunspoja> you're welcome :)
[09:51] <jimmyww> "can't access tty, job control turned off"
[09:52] <gunspoja> jimmyww, yeah I've had that one myself
[09:52] <jimmyww> how do u fix it?
[09:52] <gunspoja> jimmyww, it happened when I did something, but I can't remember what it was
[09:52] <gunspoja> the fix involved me editing some stuff in grub, though
[09:53] <gunspoja> that error wasn't happening on the livecd, though
[09:53] <jimmyww> i will tell u the whole story
[09:53] <gunspoja> it was happening on my actual ubuntu install
[09:53] <gunspoja> which was unpleasant to say the least...
[09:53] <jimmyww> i have an old thinkpad
[09:53] <jimmyww> with 256mb ram and 1ghz
[09:53] <jaw> so i'm  going to try to reset the router
[09:54] <gunspoja> jaw, try not! do, or do not.  there is no try!
[09:54] <jimmyww> i but in the live cd

[09:59] <jimmyww> i did once

[09:59] <Davy_Jones> gunspoja: i'm banned from OT
[09:59] <jimmyww> guspoja, can u help me?
[09:59] <gunspoja> jimmyww, I wish I could, but I have no idea what to do
[10:00] <gunspoja> you probably want to ask someone more experienced about the mysteries of linux than I am
[10:00] <gunspoja> to me, linux is about as clear as coca-cola
[10:00] <marckie> has anybody here used frostwire?
[10:00] <punzada> The highest res and clearest img of tux I can find is http://users.jyu.fi/~juhtolv/linux-sticker/logo.gif

[10:00] <gunspoja> and why does he have pecs :/

[10:02] <Asathoor> hi I'm looking for a way to copy ubuntu from /dev/sda5 to /dev/sda1 and change the bootloader. How can I do it?
[10:02] <jimmyww> i did
[10:02] <FIRESIDE91> Crozar: Don't use VMWare Player, get VirtualBox, you'll have less hassles
[10:02] <Crozar> which is faster and better and has no errors like if i work with excel for instance
[10:02] <jimmyww> and got http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/21/usb-ubuntu-704-persistent-install/#more-239
[10:03] <gunspoja> punzada, http://www.wired.com/images/slideshow/2007/04/gallery_mascots/tux.jpg
[10:03] <Crozar> !VirtualBox
[10:03] <ubotu> VirtualBox is open-source virtualization software for x86, with a proprietary "enterprise" version sporting additional features. Packages for Ubuntu are provided by the makers at http://www.virtualbox.org/ - Setup details at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/VirtualBox
[10:03] <FIRESIDE91> Crozar: VirtualBox runs faster
[10:03] <FIRESIDE91> And it's smaller
[10:03] <jimmyww> and there i need a live cd that works
[10:03] <Crozar> should i uninstall vmplayer?
[10:03] <jimmyww> so i m screwed
[10:03] <FIRESIDE91> Now then...why do you need Excel, I'm curious?  Pivot tables?
[10:03] <punzada> very nice gunspoja , I may actually just make my own wallpaper with that one :)
[10:03] <Crozar> because i got 2 vmplayer restricted drivers which i think it slow down system
[10:03] <Montaro> yes get rid of that horrible proprietrary software ;)
[10:04] <gunspoja> jimmyww, you have to have the livecd to make a copy of the livecd...
[10:04] <punzada> I'm still trying to find one about that sized fully rendered like the logo though
[10:04] <Asathoor> jimmyww >> why not take it from ubuntu.com
[10:04] <jimmyww> im confused
[10:04] <Davy_Jones> jimmyww: so you want to boot ubuntu off of a flash drive?
[10:04] <jimmyww> yes
[10:04] <pakwarung> i`m use old pc can it run ubuntu??
[10:04] <gunspoja> jimmyww, what did you think that a usb-stick ubuntu would have on it, other than ubuntu?
[10:04] <gunspoja> pakwarung, possibly
[10:04] <Davy_Jones> pakwarung: you never know until you try
[10:04] <jimmyww> there error that im getting would be avoided
[10:05] <Asathoor> pakwa >> if not try puppy
[10:05] <gunspoja> pakwarung, http://search.cpan.org/src/MIKEM/Device-SNP-1.2/datadesigner/tux-sw.gif
[10:05] <jimmyww> *the
[10:05] <FIRESIDE91> Crozar: Yes, VMWare is a resource hog, uninstall it
[10:05] <Davy_Jones> pakwarung: but i suggest you look for minimalist distros also
[10:05] <Crozar> is Virtual Box available through Synaptic ?
[10:05] <pakwarung> but i try to ubuntu live cd my hardware (mouse not detected)
[10:05] <Davy_Jones> pakwarung: puppy or DSL
[10:05] <gunspoja> DSL is wonderful, its like 50mb
[10:05] <pakwarung> hm.. dsl..good
[10:05] <gunspoja> i mean, damn
[10:05] <gunspoja> 50mb!
[10:05] <sirrus> hi guys, does anyone have any experience with some of the more recent snapshots of foresight linux?
[10:05] <pakwarung> but it format my hardisk??
[10:05] <gunspoja> you could write it in binary on a piece of A4 paper if you wrote pretty small
[10:05] <FIRESIDE91> Crozar: No, but they have .debs on the website, just as easy as synaptic
[10:06] <pakwarung> my data will gone..
[10:06] <jimmyww> so what do you recon
[10:06] <Montaro> uh this is #ubuntu
[10:06] <gunspoja> pakwarung, not necessarily
[10:06] <Montaro> not #foresightlinux
[10:06] <Montaro> lol
[10:06] <Davy_Jones> pakwarung: copy your data to CDs
[10:06] <sirrus> Montaro: I know that.
[10:06] <gunspoja> pakwarung, you could always just make a little partition to install linux on
[10:06] <Davy_Jones> pakwarung: or create another partition for linux
[10:06] <jimmyww> ok
[10:06] <jimmyww> brb
[10:06] <FIRESIDE91> Best backup solution...have a second harddisk...
[10:06] <pakwarung> ok i will try with create partition linux
[10:06] <gunspoja> especially if its DSL, you just delete a couple of desktop wallpapers and you have enough space for the whole OS :P
[10:06] <Montaro> then you will also know that asking an Intel rep to help you with your AMD processor will not go down well either
[10:06] <Crozar> oh dear. when i uninstall vmplayer it hasnt uninstalled the things that come with it like the lib3759. something and the other things
[10:07] <gunspoja> Montaro, LOL
[10:07] <Davy_Jones> pakwarung: use partition magic when you can
[10:07] <FIRESIDE91> Crozar....did you do apt-get remove vmware-player?
[10:07] <gunspoja> punzada, http://search.cpan.org/src/MIKEM/Device-SNP-1.2/datadesigner/tux-sw.gif
[10:07] <chifferchap> what's the name of the chinese chat room again?
[10:07] <pakwarung> yeah im familiar with partition magic
[10:07] <gunspoja> #chingchongchow
[10:07] <Davy_Jones> gunspoja: what's so special about this picture that made you post it twice?
[10:07] <chifferchap> ok
[10:07] <chifferchap> nevermind
[10:07] <gunspoja> i posted it to the wrong person first
[10:08] <gunspoja> :P
[10:08] <Montaro> #ubuntu-cn ?
[10:08] <Davy_Jones> ok
[10:08] <punzada> oooo another good find
[10:08] <pakwarung> ok thx all
[10:08] <chifferchap> no
[10:08] <Davy_Jones> !chinese
[10:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about chinese - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:08] <chifferchap> gunspoja was right
[10:08] <Davy_Jones> !cn
[10:08] <ubotu> For Ubuntu help in Chinese  #ubuntu-cn  #ubuntu-tw   #ubuntu-hk
[10:08] <gunspoja> I was right!?
[10:08] <pakwarung> thanks davy_jones
[10:08] <gunspoja> OMG
[10:08] <Asathoor> hi I'm looking for a way to copy ubuntu from /dev/sda5 to /dev/sda1 and change the bootloader. How can I do it?
[10:08] <Crozar> it says 1 to remove , it hasnt removed the lib's that come with it
[10:08] <gunspoja> \O/
[10:08] <Davy_Jones> pakwarung: welcome
[10:09] <chifferchap>
[10:09] <Davy_Jones> Asathoor: i'm not sure, but i think you can just move the files there and reset grub
[10:09] <Davy_Jones> !grub | Asathoor
[10:09] <ubotu> Asathoor: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[10:10] <Crozar> this is what im scared of linux , when installing a thing it asks for some addon parties with it and lib's then when uninstalling the libs and party stay int he computer with no use.
[10:10] <Davy_Jones> the first link
[10:10] <Davy_Jones> for resetting
[10:10] <Montaro> Crozar: Windows is way worse for this. Wayyy worse.
[10:10] <Crozar> windows uninstalls everything?
[10:11] <Crozar> thats worse?
[10:11] <FIRESIDE91> Crozar: No it doesn't
[10:11] <gunspoja> Crozar, no it doesnt
[10:11] <Davy_Jones> Crozar: that is very space-saving also.. in windows, every program brings its own libraries and files which it can share with other programs.. so you get a lot of wasted space for libraries that can be shared
[10:11] <Montaro> It definately does not
[10:11] <gunspoja> Crozar, windows just makes you think that it does, but in actual fact its even worse because it HIDES the evidence that it left stuff lying around
[10:11] <Asathoor> ubotu >> thanx
[10:11] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about thanx - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[10:11] <Crozar> looooooool
[10:11] <FIRESIDE91> Windows always leaves little "droppings" of past programs, that's why it starts running so slow over time
[10:11] <Crozar> microsoft is clever
[10:12] <toni_> hi i installed firefox adblock plugin ... now i 've downloaded a .txt file for import but it seems that the .txt file isn't accepted
[10:12] <gunspoja> uhh, in the same way that pol pot was clever, i guess
[10:12] <Crozar> FIRESIDE91: so after the package download install through terminal or by right click use synaptic ?
[10:12] <FIRESIDE91> just double click the package
[10:12] <andres> hi
[10:12] <isna> kyut
[10:13] <toni_> hi i installed firefox adblock plugin ... now i 've downloaded a .txt file for import but it seems that the .txt file isn't accepted
[10:13] <Davy_Jones> Crozar: like aspell is a package for spell checking.. openoffice can use it, gaim can use it, friggin gedit can use it.. it's one package.. in windows, each software will bring its own spell-checking package which is not efficient for disk space
[10:13] <FIRESIDE91> Now then, I have to go to bed..
[10:13] <andres> i cant see iconos in OpenOffice
[10:13] <FIRESIDE91> Night all
[10:13] <Crozar> this guy speaks diffrent language
[10:13] <andres> anyone knows why?
[10:13] <gunspoja> gnight fire
[10:14] <gunspoja> Crozar, yes, many people here do, e.g. me
[10:14] <vampyre_eyes> anyone here know how to run a windows service under wine?
[10:14] <gunspoja> vampyre_eyes, use a vm
[10:14] <gunspoja> I don't think that will work very well under wine
[10:14] <Crozar> windows service or u mean to emulate the whole windows gunspoja?
[10:15] <andres> wine is not an emulator :-D
[10:15] <gunspoja> uhh, windows services don't run by themselves, they need other parts of the OS to run properly in most (if not all) cases
[10:15] <Crozar> gunspoja: get virtual box http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
[10:15] <gunspoja> Crozar, I'm not the one who asked the question...
[10:15] <vampyre_eyes> hmm
[10:15] <Crozar> looool
[10:15] <Crozar> good luck guys
[10:15] <vampyre_eyes> i need to run a program
[10:15] <gunspoja> vampyre_eyes, everything he said to me was meant for you
[10:16] <vampyre_eyes> and it requires a service to run
[10:16] <gunspoja> vampyre_eyes, use a virtual machine, its much easier than trying to run a windows service
[10:16] <Davy_Jones> my advice would be NOT to use any form of emulation/vitualization/api layers
[10:16] <gunspoja> Davy_Jones, why not? emulation is awesome
[10:16] <vampyre_eyes> I am using vmware at the moment
[10:16] <vampyre_eyes> but i would like to ditch that
[10:16] <gunspoja> vampyre_eyes, you could ditch it and just run windows natively ;)
[10:16] <Davy_Jones> they need a lot of work and tweaking to get done, and even if they do work.. it's not efficient and you get into a lot of avoidable headaches
[10:16] <vampyre_eyes> never
[10:17] <vampyre_eyes> I loath windows
[10:17] <gunspoja> Davy_Jones, they are better than the alternative
[10:17] <gunspoja> vampyre_eyes, well then, its VMs for you
[10:17] <vampyre_eyes> :-(
[10:17] <Davy_Jones> i hate all forms of emulation
[10:17] <vampyre_eyes> VMWARE is dam awesome
[10:17] <gunspoja> Davy_Jones, are you saying you hate playing super mario on a pc!?
[10:17] <Davy_Jones> when i want to run a windows-only program, i use windows
[10:17] <gunspoja> you evil man!
[10:17] <vampyre_eyes> but it really a wast just to run one app
[10:17] <gunspoja> you probably don't even like playing metal slug
[10:17] <gunspoja> emulation != windows emulation
[10:18] <Davy_Jones> gunspoja: i got Tremulous on my linux box, that's pretty much all i want
[10:18] <Davy_Jones> gunspoja: and other FPS games for that matter
[10:18] <vampyre_eyes> I am needing a VPN to get to my work
[10:18] <vampyre_eyes> but
[10:18] <gunspoja> those aren't fps games...
[10:18] <vampyre_eyes> it only works under windows
[10:18] <Davy_Jones> gunspoja: i know, i didn't say windows emulation, i said EMULATION,, in general
[10:18] <gunspoja> wow, thats really funny
[10:18] <gunspoja> since emulation happens quite extensively in ANY operating system
[10:19] <gunspoja> afaik
[10:19] <vampyre_eyes> the application is Aventail connect
[10:19] <gunspoja> and also in hardware and firmware
[10:19] <Davy_Jones> it doesn't, but lets not dwell in this and go offtopic
[10:19] <gunspoja> so, looks like you're going to have to throw your computer away, Davy_Jones. put it in your locker ;)
[10:20] <vampyre_eyes> anyone at least know how i can start to debug it
[10:20] <vampyre_eyes> i am a noob with wine
[10:20] <gunspoja> vampyre_eyes, no idea
[10:20] <gunspoja> ask in #winehq
[10:20] <Davy_Jones> i'm happy with my computer.. dual-boot ubuntu and windows.. windows for my young sisters and the real OS for me
[10:20] <vampyre_eyes> ok thanks
[10:20] <vampyre_eyes> My wife, mother and brother all run Ubuntu
[10:20] <vampyre_eyes> Ubuntu FTW!
[10:21] <Crozar> is Wine fast to run Doom3?
[10:21] <Davy_Jones> the ePSXe emulator has been out for quiet some time.. it still cannot emulate the PS1 firmware
[10:21] <gunspoja> Crozar, you don't need wine to play doom3, ID software make linux binaries for all their games
[10:21] <gunspoja> and yes, doom3 runs just as well under ubuntu as it does in windows.  I play it myself sometimes
[10:21] <Davy_Jones> Crozar: why run Doom3 on wine when you can run it natively on linux
[10:21] <Crozar> lol
[10:22] <Davy_Jones> Doom3 is pretty darn scary.. i couldn't continue stage 1
[10:22] <Crozar> im a Quaker and Doomer so dont tell me this , lets say for instance TrackMania United
[10:22] <Davy_Jones> Quake 4 is too, but it's playable
[10:22] <gunspoja> Davy_Jones, heh
[10:23] <sirrus> unlike Doom, which scares the shit of you by letting various hellspawns jum in on your back
[10:23] <gunspoja> doom3 is just cheap scares, there isn't really much real horror
[10:23] <Crozar> i finished d3 and q4 and bored from the net every1 is too low as windows for ur point of view and i got the linux head
[10:23] <gunspoja> play condemned, THAT is real horror
[10:23] <Davy_Jones> gunspoja: i don't want to shit my pants, i want to play a game and be happy :P
[10:23] <RaymondDay> Any one know how to get apache to display .mvc files right not just text?
[10:23] <gunspoja> u get desensitized to it eventually ;)
[10:23] <gunspoja> for happiness: soldat
[10:23] <sirrus> Davy_Jones: then avoid all id games
[10:23] <gunspoja> soldat is the happiest game ever
[10:23] <gunspoja> also gumboy, but thats just too freaking hard
[10:24] <Crozar> so linux run directly like u say doom3 and quake3 i never tried doom3 , but i dont believe il get higher frame rates becauase of driver issue , with nvidia they give windows version 140+ when here it hink we're still on 80 or maybe 20?
[10:24] <Davy_Jones> sirrus: id games are the bomb, just Doom3
[10:24] <Davy_Jones> bombs*
[10:24] <gunspoja> and gish, damn that game was awesome, but this is very very OT and I like this channel so I'll shut up about games
[10:24] <gunspoja> Crozar, i never said "higher", just that it should work about the same
[10:24] <Davy_Jones> Doom3 is full of details, so you need a powerful graphix card
[10:24] <gunspoja> not by today's standards
[10:25] <Crozar> i bet il drop frame rates and tweaked stuff cant be tweaked
[10:25] <Davy_Jones> well, the "standards" change every single day
[10:25] <gunspoja> Crozar, you wanna bet?  you can tweak just as much
[10:25] <Crozar> with XP u can tweak ur drivers , card , and game , and even the system towards gaming
[10:25] <codeane> hi, fresh install, updated, enabled desktop effects which downloaded nvidia drivers and rebooted, now it won't load gdm, any ideas?
[10:25] <gunspoja> although you are right about not being able to tweak the drivers as easily
[10:25] <gunspoja> it would be nice if you could
[10:26] <gunspoja> not that I use that in windows anyway
[10:26] <Crozar>  its ok i dont want to go to the tweaking subject il do some research.
[10:26] <Davy_Jones> Crozar: don't make statements before you actually try it out.. it makes you sound stupid
[10:26] <devilsreject> hey all i gotta quick question anybody kow of an easy way to burn an avi as a reg video dvd in ubuntu??
[10:26] <gunspoja> well, he is correct, afaik
[10:26] <Davy_Jones> you can tweak the nvidia drivers the same way you do it in winders
[10:26] <Crozar> because this is my 9th day on linux and with windows ive been using since 3.1
[10:26] <gunspoja> Davy_Jones, how so?
[10:27] <Davy_Jones> gunspoja: Applications > System Tools > Nvidia Settings
[10:27] <gunspoja> Crozar, don't worry, you will come to appreciate linux's numerous advantages, just as long as you can overlook its flaws
[10:27] <gunspoja> Davy_Jones, O_O
[10:27] <Davy_Jones> ya
[10:27] <Davy_Jones> lol
[10:27] <codeane> fails to initialize nvidia drivers
[10:27] <gunspoja> \O/
[10:27] <Crozar> i appreciate it as much as myself  wondering about computer life long ago , i can tell you this , that computers should be linux not windows , this is how a computer should be :)
[10:28] <gunspoja> I never knew that program was there! thats awesome
[10:28] <gunspoja> Crozar, definitely! and we should all speak lojban!
[10:28] <Crozar> whats loj?
[10:28] <gunspoja> lojban is to english what linux is to windows (well, sort of)
[10:28] <sirrus> Crozar: I don't care what it is as long as it is *NIX based and has bash and python on it :)
[10:28] <Crozar> huh ? what you talking lo
[10:29] <sirrus> you said all computers should be linux
[10:29] <Davy_Jones> lojban is a free open-source english?
[10:29] <gunspoja> Crozar, read this http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=What+Is+Lojban?&bl
[10:29] <Davy_Jones> lojban Is Not English
[10:29] <Davy_Jones> heh
[10:29] <Crozar> i care 1 thing because it has no virus no error and all free things with amazing Next Technology effects , soon we will have based weather duration with a movie background optimized by 3dmax
[10:29] <Davy_Jones> sounds cool
[10:29] <sirrus> I said I don't care what they are as long as they are UNIX-based
[10:29] <gunspoja> Crozar, and then read this http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=Why+Learn+Lojban?&bl
[10:30] <gunspoja> Crozar, whoa there, slow down :P fancy desktop backgrounds have nothing to do with linux.  you could implement that in windows as well, you know
[10:30] <gunspoja> its not like linux is the ONLY place for open-source...there is a lot of open-source software available for windows too
[10:31] <Davy_Jones> gunspoja: this lojban thing sounds like it wants to turn us into robots
[10:31] <slvmchn> at the risk of being told to consult google, is SLI possible/available under ubuntu?
[10:31] <gunspoja> Davy_Jones, thats a really bad misinterpretation
[10:31] <Crozar> comon people lojban>? u got to be kidding me
[10:31] <gunspoja> Davy_Jones, maybe you should follow your own advice and learn about something before making silly statements like that
[10:31] <DP72> What is "Ubuntu FTW" meaning, specialy "FTW"
[10:31] <Davy_Jones> gunspoja: to communicate with each other and possibly in the future with computers
[10:31] <Davy_Jones> is based on the principles of logic
[10:32] <gunspoja> uhh, so?
[10:32] <Davy_Jones> that's very robotic
[10:32] <gunspoja> no its not
[10:32] <Davy_Jones> i don't know.. it just sounds so
[10:32] <gunspoja> robot = no free will
[10:32] <gunspoja> lojban is not vulcan
[10:32] <Crozar> you dont study religions? didnt you research which is the highest grammer vocab language in the world and hardest?
[10:32] <gunspoja> it can express a MUCH wider range of emotions and ideas than english can
[10:32] <Ilokaasu> DP72 for the win ?!
[10:32] <gunspoja> and communicating with computers is in no way robotic, if the communications medium is your own normal, natural language
[10:33] <Crozar> why talk to a machine? lo
[10:33] <gunspoja> Crozar, ever heard of "programming"?
[10:33] <Davy_Jones> heh
[10:33] <gunspoja> all the software you have ever used was devised by "talking to a machine"
[10:33] <Crozar> so u want to make programs by talking then you think urself as god? ur brain has no limits huh?
[10:33] <Davy_Jones> because machines ARE GONNA TAKE OVER THE WORLD
[10:33] <gunspoja> wow, you guys are idiots...
[10:34] <gunspoja> easier programming == think yourself a god? what the hell, Crozar
[10:34] <Crozar> do you think people can make 10000 programs?
[10:34] <gunspoja> if you want to deliberately misunderstand and exaggerate everything then there isn't a whole lot of point in talking to you
[10:34] <Crozar> winzip is theyr winrar is theyr and maybe others , but who cares.
[10:35] <Davy_Jones> theyr
[10:35] <gunspoja> see what I mean about his level of intelligence...
[10:35] <Davy_Jones> that's very low level.. sorry
[10:35] <gunspoja> yeah, I probably shouldn't sink so low as to attacking someone's typos
[10:35] <Crozar> 1 think for u to understand , dont live with the agenda where they say " when you want something go do it or you can do it " " white man can fly ? " really brainwashed kids since 1993
[10:35] <codeane> hi, fresh install, updated, enabled desktop effects which downloaded nvidia drivers and rebooted, now it won't load gdm, removed nvidia-glx, still X fails to load?
[10:36] <gunspoja> Crozar, what the hell are you on about?
[10:36] <macd> codeane, you need to issue 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
[10:36] <Davy_Jones> gunspoja, Crozar: you guys need to go out more, and maybe get laid sometime
[10:36] <edward> how do you reboot without rebooting your hardware?  (so Your HD doesn't power off?)
[10:36] <Crozar> maybe low level of intelligence in Computers , but not by talking to your brain for what optimum extent you reached,
[10:36] <codeane> macd, thx i'll try that
[10:36] <gunspoja> whoa, implying that I have no girlfriend...nice one, Davy_Jones
[10:36] <macd> slvmchn, SLI is supported, yes.
[10:36] <Crozar> i got a wife davy
[10:37] <Tarkus> anyone know how to change the ubuntu loading screen that comes up when you first boot the OS?
[10:37] <Davy_Jones> gunspoja: oh, you have a girlfriend? what if you didn't?
[10:37] <Davy_Jones> heh
[10:37] <gunspoja> edward, restart the computer...

[10:38] <Asathoor> I have tried to remove windows, but now I have two installations of ubuntu. I's rather have one - and save all my settings. Is there a smart way to do this?  Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning
[10:38] <macd> Asathoor, as in you want a image of the complete drive?

[10:38] <macd> Asathoor, yes, the links uboto provided are excellent
[10:39] <davina> how do i get synaptic package manager to install an earlier version of a package. i need libc6-dev and it wont install coz its version 2.6 and libc6 is 2.5
[10:40] <Davy_Jones> davina: update the repos
[10:40] <davina> i clicked update bot that didnt seeme to fix it
[10:40] <Davy_Jones> if you still can't find them, you have to wait till the mighty devs include it
[10:40] <macd> davina, you should look at apt-pinning to get a version from an earlier release of ubuntu
[10:41] <davina> is there something i can put in the command line like apt-get install libc6-dev 2.5.... or something?
[10:41] <macd> davina, the version synaptic wants to install won't? or you need a different version
[10:42] <codeane> ok, have the desktop back, now whats the best way to install nvidia drivers for an 8800 gtx?
[10:42] <Crozar> i have installed virtualbox but i dont see the launcher
[10:42] <davina> the version wont install coz it says its dependancy of libc6 2.6 doesnt exist,
[10:42] <edward> envy?
[10:42] <macd> codeane, by using the restricted driver for nvidia
[10:42] <jimmyww> back
[10:42] <davina> but the repo just has libc6 2.5 in it
[10:42] <Davy_Jones> davina: no, you have to wait for the developers to release the new virsion, or install from source.. what else can you do
[10:42] <jimmyww> so can anyone help me install ubuntu on to a usb without needing to boot in linux
[10:43] <Crozar> guys ihave downloaded and installed virtualbox but i dont see the launcher icon
[10:43] <jimmyww> please, im begging
[10:43] <macd> davina, you can do it by apt-pinning the package from gutsy. it is 2.6.1
[10:43] <davina> its frustraing coz i just wanted to write a simple C prog and i dont even have stdio.h
[10:43] <magnetron> davina: install build-essential
[10:43] <jimmyww> please
[10:43] <jimmyww> n anyone help me install ubuntu on to a usb without needing to boot in linux
[10:43] <macd> libc6 2.5 will work for that, can you try in console 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libc6-dev'
[10:43] <jimmyww> *can
[10:44] <davina> magnetron, ok i will try that thx

[10:45] <davina>   libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.6-2ubuntu2) but 2.5-0ubuntu14 is to be installed

[11:09] <intransit> Hello, how do I make VLC for example my default movie player ?
[11:09] <Chris40> !startup
[11:09] <ubotu> To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot
[11:10] <[-CableGuy-] > hi all
[11:10] <seon> i want to manage by the net my ubuntu server from another pc do you think VNC is a good thing to manage security and network managemenet
[11:10] <intransit> !default player
[11:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about default player - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[11:11] <Bupss> hi all
[11:11] <sirrus> intransit: this is either something you enable in VLC preferences, or you can right-click a file you wish to be played in VLC by default, and in the "Open with" section you select VLC
[11:11] <Bupss> i have a problem installing grub on a usb stick, can anyone help me?
[11:11] <intransit> yeah, only problem is VLC isn't in that list ??
[11:11] <intransit> I had a brief look in VLC couldn't find a preference
[11:11] <intransit> brb a tick
[11:11] <sirrus> intransit: no problem - you just use the command
[11:11] <[-CableGuy-] > help do any one know about gns3 or dynagen
[11:13] <sirrus> intransit: in the other section - it should display the filesystem. So all you need to do is correctly navigate to the vlc in /usr/bin (or wherever the link to it resides) and then hit the ok button
[11:13] <sirrus> it should work ok after it
[11:13] <Electrosys0> how do I get my usb drive going so that i can browse its files?
[11:13] <sirrus> Electro: if you have automounter enabled, it should pop up on your desktop
[11:14] <sirrus> from command line, you have to use the "mount" command. The filesystem type should be "vfat"
[11:14] <[-CableGuy-] > can any one help me with virus problem
[11:14] <intransit> thanks alot sirrus

[11:51] <ompaul> Chris40, read that web page, and no that is not how you do that kind of thing
[11:51] <Stormay> For Linux
[11:51] <Tar-Minyatur> Chris40, Google for SUID...might work for you instead.
[11:51] <Stormay> Ok
[11:51] <Kee1> does gparted show unformatted hard drives?
[11:52] <_Ahti> Kee1 Yes
[11:52] <ompaul> Kee1, yes
[11:52] <_Ahti> Kee1, try fdisk -l
[11:52] <Stormay> I installed Ubuntu on my portable hard drive, Then i took the CD out and portable hard drive i then restarted my PC as i had to go on Windows
[11:52] <_Ahti> (i think that's it)
[11:52] <Tar-Minyatur> keroro, If you're having problems with a notebook try tuxmobile.com
[11:52] <Stormay> When it starts to boot up it gives me Error 21
[11:52] <TuTUX> anybody can help me with my aptitude? it messed up, everytime i try to use it to install/remove something, it ask me to remove bunch of stuff automatically, i have to use apt-get instead... system is feisty btw
[11:52] <hmhowie> Stormay: oh, i understand. the first few sectors of a harddisk contain information about which operating system should be booted. because these sectors are too small nowadays to contain all the information, they tend to contain just an address pointing to the place the information about which operating system should be booted it kept. on your system, this now points to your external drive. you have to reinstall the windows boot loa
[11:52] <Kee1> _Ahti: came up with absolutely nothing
[11:52] <_Ahti> Nothing?
[11:52] <broomad> bsd, wtf? ^^
[11:52] <Chris40> i need to run script with this command "nohup ./open_sockets.pl &" on the startup (booting) with root access how can i do that ?
[11:52] <Stormay> What!!
[11:53] <_Ahti> fdisk -l /dev/s*
[11:53] <Stormay> How do i do that hmhowie

[11:54] <Stormay> it fucked my PC up
[11:54] <tonyyarusso> !ohmy | Stormay
[11:54] <ubotu> Stormay: Please watch your language and topic, and keep this channel family friendly.
[11:54] <Stormay> Um

[11:54] <Stormay> its my works PC
[11:54] <ompaul> Stormay, (A) you told it where to install (B) if you mucked up the install then we can help you (C) if you overwrite your windows partition that is your own fault
[11:54] <hmhowie> Kee1: i trust you're using a live cd
[11:55] <Tar-Minyatur> Chris40, Nope. Don't have the time. This almost was a step-by-step-instruction.
[11:55] <Kee1> hmhowie: yes
[11:55] <mete_888> I've installed apache. over http://<IP_ADDRESS> I can access it, but why I can't access it from the internet (I've forwarded port 80 to <IP_ADDRESS>)?
[11:55] <Tar-Minyatur> Chris40, You should do at least something on your own.
[11:55] <void^> Stormay: you did something that's "advanced", installing an os on an external disk. without having a clue about what you're doing. so don't wine about it. thanks.
[11:55] <Stormay> No, I installed it on my portable hard drive
[11:55] <Stormay> void i didnt know
[11:55] <Chris40> Tar-Minyatur: can u give me link to guide or some papers about that "bash" thing ?
[11:55] <Stormay> it had a list to choose from
[11:55] <hmhowie> Kee1: so the question is, why isn't it seeing your harddrive. have you got some sort of raid system?
[11:55] <Stormay> my portable
[11:55] <keroro> Tell me if i buildup more Memory to 4Gb can less down the system harddisk usage?
[11:55] <Stormay> my internal
[11:56] <void^> Stormay: and i've already told you how to fix it. find your windows cd, run fixmbr.

[11:56] <ompaul> !grub | Stormay  (read these urls they should point you in the right direction)
[11:56] <ubotu> Stormay  (read these urls they should point you in the right direction): grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[11:56] <Tar-Minyatur> Chris40, That "bash thing" is the linux command line. You should find a lot about it using google or search in the various Ubuntu Wikis.
[11:56] <Kee1> and I checked the bios, it seems to be connected
[11:56] <Stormay> Wont be long going on a search party to find it
[11:56] <Kee1> might try installing windows and coming back a bit later
[11:56] <hmhowie> Kee1: that's unusual. if you know your make and model and type of harddrive, try submitting a bug report

[11:59] <mravibsp> already done

[12:00] <jonnymac> I need a ubuntu for idiots guide, need to learn where directories are, where stuff goes &c
[12:00] <hmhowie> jonnymac: what are you looking for atm?
[12:00] <mravibsp> ya was working good few days back then dont know what happen ...
[12:00] <mete_888> I've installed apache. over http://<IP_ADDRESS> I can access it, but why I can't access it from the internet (I've forwarded port 80 to <IP_ADDRESS>)?
[12:00] <jxxxt> jonnymac. Ubuntu unleashed is a good publication
[12:01] <hmhowie> mete_888: are you inside the network atm?
[12:01] <mete_888> yes hmhowie, the machine and router are here :)
[12:02] <jonnymac> well I just installed wine and it says in the help thing open the terminal and type cd into the directory where the .exe is located. But I hav no idea and don't particularly want to be bothering people with stoopid problems (don' too much of that already ;)
[12:02] <hmhowie> mete_888: my router doesn't allow me to do that. if i want to use the external address, i have to be outside the lan
[12:02] <TuTUX> ompaul, that's what the problem is, i use build compiz-fusion my self(no debs) and i dont want firefox-totem and other stuff installed, but with ubuntu-desktop they are all needed
[12:02] <mete_888> hmhowie I accessing from a other server to the apache from outside to test
[12:03] <mete_888> I'm accessing...
[12:03] <hmhowie> jonnymac: it just means navigate to where your windows executable is
[12:03] <TuTUX> ompaul, aptitude checks dependency too hard...
[12:03] <hmhowie> mete_888: <IP_ADDRESS> isn't working for me
[12:04] <mete_888> <IP_ADDRESS> is the internal adress ;)
[12:04] <mete_888> and why it should not work?
[12:04] <mete_888> It's a normal private IP range
[12:04] <hmhowie> mete_888: that would explain why it isn't working :)
[12:05] <mete_888> and with nat it must work from outside...
[12:05] <vsayikiran> i am not able to mount DVD disk, what could be the problem
[12:05] <hmhowie> mete_888: i've never used the 10.0 iprange :(
[12:05] <tarelerulz> I use an usb  mic and headset  and everything seem to use it . just not gxine

[12:06] <vsayikiran> does anyone know how to mount
[12:06] <mete_888> hmhowie you can try to connect with https, that will work, but it's forwarded to another machine ;)

[12:07] <vsayikiran> help wanted, i am not able to mount dvd disk
[12:07] <fredl_> I just installed Ubuntu 7.04 and it seems to be horrendously slow for some reason
[12:08] <mete_888> hmhowie, ping is blocked, try https://<IP_ADDRESS>    In the apache logs I haven't found anything
[12:08] <keroro> what is SUDO?

[12:08] <vsayikiran> shriphani: thanx for replying
[12:09] <fredl_> my system seems to be at a constant load of near 2 yet 'top' doesn't show any process being busy
[12:09] <vsayikiran> shriphani: i am not able to mount dvd disk
[12:09] <shriphani> automount screwed ?
[12:09] <mete_888> fredl_ load isn't cpu load... ;)
[12:09] <hmhowie> mete_888: https does something (asks for a logging. encryption is from an unknown signing authority)
[12:09] <vsayikiran> shriphani: yes, when i inserted disk it showed invalid mount options
[12:10] <fredl_> mete_888: I know you're trying to cheer me up, or yourself. Thank you. Now please stop.
[12:10] <shriphani> vsayikiran: is there something like /dev/scd0 or is it /dev/hdc ?
[12:10] <hmhowie> mete_888: ^loggin^login
[12:10] <vsayikiran> shriphani: do you want to see my /etc/fstab options
[12:10] <fredl_> I'm really not in the mood for a semantics game.
[12:10] <mete_888> hmhowie jep, this is forwarded to another machine... so the prob is on the apache itself, or on the ubuntu machine
[12:10] <shriphani> well in /dev
[12:10] <tarelerulz> mplayer plays part of the dvd Then it can't play the rest .  gxine plays part of it too just no sound .
[12:10] <hmhowie> mete_888: you can view the apache server when you address the machine inside the lan?
[12:11] <vsayikiran> shriphani: jus wait i will call you
[12:11] <Crozar> can som1 tell me how to ( RUN ) virtual box .
[12:11] <mete_888> hmhowie yes, that work
[12:11] <holycow> hmhowie: some dvd's just can't be played because of the encryption
[12:11] <jonnymac> does anybody here use utorent with wine?
[12:11] <holycow> decss works great at cracking the keys most of the time but once in a while it cannot
[12:11] <hmhowie> mete_888: then you must have a problem with nat in your gateway, i'd have thought
[12:11] <Rageon> VMware wouldnt run with 512 DDR ram and Althlon XP 2000+ correct?
[12:12] <chinasky> jonnymac: install wine, download utorrent and run wine utorrent
[12:12] <tarelerulz> I understand encryption . I did the installs that ubuntu says to do to play dvds with encryption ,but it is the sound part that throws me .
[12:12] <mete_888> hmhowie if I forward the port to my windows machine which has apache, it work correctly xD
[12:12] <Crozar> i got a problem running virtualbox , and yes i have installed it succesfully i added the link to my source file and thats it
[12:12] <mm23> hello all, last week i installed new HDD to my hardware , but the problem each time i turn-on the computer i have to mount the drive ?
[12:12] <jonnymac> did that, but the download screen that lists the downloads is all black and no downloads are registering
[12:12] <Lanken> is there a name for programs like filelight, that show you how your disk space usage breaks down?
[12:13] <hmhowie> mete_888: i don't see why apache would answer a query from a computer inside the lan but not one from outside the lan. do you have some sort of additional firewall instlaled on the ubuntu machine?
[12:14] <tarelerulz> because it seem to play the dvd so if the encryption was off I would not think anything would come up
[12:14] <chinasky> jonnymac: to me appears all in black except the  torrents downloading,in the system tray double click on it
[12:14] <ompaul> Lanken, try this, click on places home, then when that program launches choose View - list and see if that helps, you can also start a terminal and type either "df -h" or "du -h | less"
[12:14] <Rageon> everyone was going X-Chat is a awesome IRC client with heaps of scripts.. has to be the most basic IRC client ive ever used :x

[12:34] <tarelerulz> The part that gets me with gxine it seems to work ,but no wound  . It don't seem to use my usb sound care /mic and head plug ins
[12:34] <ompaul> Stormmm, don't paste in a channel - use pastebin for more than two lines see the topic of this channel
[12:34] <Stormmm> Ok, Sorry
[12:34] <Stormmm> I've kinda not got time to messa bout work in mins and i need this pc
[12:34] <ompaul> Stormmm, so follow: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows      ---
[12:34] <ompaul> Stormmm, I am not going to type out the commands here you can read them there
[12:35] <Stormmm> ompaul: Ive typed sudo grub
[12:35] <Stormmm> and it said all them commands
[12:35] <holycow> tarelerulz: it simply sounds like decss crashes
[12:35] <ompaul> Stormmm, follow the page
[12:35] <Stormmm> when i typed it
[12:35] <ompaul> Stormmm, it says on that screen what you do next
[12:35] <ompaul> Stormmm, it says on that screen what you do next
[12:35] <holycow> start mplayer from terminal and play dvd and see what the error messages are
[12:35] <Stormmm> Yes
[12:35] <Stormmm> It says
[12:35] <tarelerulz> Holycow ok I did
[12:35] <Stormmm> Type Sudo Gruv
[12:35] <Stormmm> I done that
[12:35] <jonnymac> and after feisty has been installed is the only way to move the partitions from the live cd? plz
[12:35] <Stormmm> then it should say   <tab> = hit the Tab key : This will return your root partition, something like root (hd0,1). Hit the <Enter> key and continue.    If you do not know your boot partition, use find /boot/grub/stage1
[12:35] <Stormmm> but it dont
[12:35] <Stormmm> it gives commands
[12:36] <ompaul> Stormmm, read the screen again--- no that does not --- what that says is that is the command use the tab key --- dude pretend IRC does not exist and you will get on better honestly, read the screen and rely on your own judgement
[12:37] <holycow> tarelerulz: okay and?
[12:37] <tarelerulz> Holycow it is weird . I get if the encyption was not working ,but it seem just the sound for gxine .
[12:37] <Rapax> Morning Everyone
[12:37] <tarelerulz> I have not got to the part where it cuts off
[12:37] <Stormmm> ompaul: Ok hold on
[12:38] <tarelerulz> This is some wierd stuff.   Mplayer now seem to play farther then it did before .
[12:38] <Stormmm> ok then when i do find /boot/grub/stage1
[12:38] <Stormmm> it gives me Error
[12:39] <tarelerulz> I swear when I went to chapter 2 it stopped and now it don't .
[12:39] <holycow> tarelerulz: that is correct
[12:40] <holycow> its decrypting two separate streams simultaneously
[12:40] <Stormmm> ompaul: What can i do its giving me error 15s
[12:40] <perwira> hi
[12:40] <holycow> mplayer playing further is also correct
[12:40] <holycow> it won't always crash on exactly the same spot, usually 'around' it
[12:40] <Rapax> Have any of you ever had trouble with desktop launchers in Gnome?
[12:40] <tarelerulz> Holycow  is playing farther then it before and I did the same thing
[12:40] <holycow> its a decryption problem you can't get around that
[12:40] <holycow> rent another dvd or something
[12:41] <holycow> tarelerulz: i know, i'm trying to get you to undestand that its a decryption problem
[12:41] <holycow> and that you won't solve it by banging your head against a wall
[12:41] <Stormmm> oh crap ive got work in
[12:41] <holycow> rent a nother dvd
[12:41] <Stormmm> 30 mins and no computer :@
[12:41] <ompaul> Stormmm, go to the food of that page and read stuff
[12:41] <tarelerulz> Holycow you  you don't know it might help to hit my head upside a wall. haha.
[12:41] <ompaul> Stormmm, and if a virus took out the drive you would be in the same boat
[12:42] <holycow> tarelerulz: lol, perhaps
[12:42] <holycow> tarelerulz: the only optio nis to use a proprietary licenced dvd player
[12:42] <tarelerulz> Holycow the sound part with gxine ?  it don't seem to make sound when I play ogg or avi on my computer
[12:42] <holycow> dvd playback is actually a scam
[12:42] <holycow> you pay for the dvd
[12:43] <holycow> the studio pay for the encryption
[12:43] <Stormmm> ompaul: Ok i cant do any of the steps its telling me the file is NOTT found!
[12:43] <holycow> and guess what?
[12:43] <holycow> you also pay when you buy a legal dvd player
[12:43] <Rapax> My first time here...is there any specific 'etiquette' to asking a question? Don't want to get dumped for being a loud obnoxious nnob :)
[12:43] <Stormmm> ompaul: do i have to download somthing?
[12:43] <ompaul> Stormmm, reading a web page on http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Troubleshooting.html#Troubleshooting
[12:43] <Stormmm> Can i do this within 20 minutes?
[12:43] <ompaul> Stormmm, maybe
[12:43] <holycow> and legal dvd players that pay for the licence to decrypt dvds also haveto sign a contract that says THEY CANNOT allow viewerd to skip over the front end commercials
[12:43] <irvken> how cam I find shares on the network and automount them a t boottime
[12:43] <ompaul> but not if you keep asking me
[12:43] <holycow> so something YOU BOUGHT you cannot even use
[12:44] <holycow> overall decss is actually superb and works about 99.999 percent of the time
[12:44] <holycow> you hit the one dvd that doesn't
[12:44] <Stormmm> ompaul: please tell me ill pay you $5
[12:44] <holycow> but you will be able to skip all those commercials and fbi nonsense and actually use a TOOL YOU OWN how you want
[12:44] <holycow> so chuck the dvd and don't put up with that nonsense and rent one that works
[12:44] <Rapax> take the DVD back to the store...tell them it's broken, and demand your money back.
[12:44] <tarelerulz> Holycow the hot part is I all readly wanted the movie before. So that is lame haha
[12:44] <mahone> When will Ubuntu JeOS come out?
[12:45] <Stormmm> HELPPPPPP!!!!
[12:45] <ompaul> Stormmm, ehh I pointed you at it - I don't have physical access to said box
[12:45] <Stormmm> SOMOPNE PELESE
[12:46] <Stormmm> this is taking the mick is this
[12:46] <holycow> actually, what Rapax said works, they will exchange it
[12:46] <Stormmm> Im late for work already
[12:46] <Stormmm> its giving me loads of erorrs
[12:46] <Stormmm> like eorror 15

[12:46] <Stormmm> how do i fix them the trouble help thiung
[12:46] <Rapax> Stormmm: What DVD are we talking about here?
[12:47] <Stormmm> the livecd thing
[12:47] <Stormmm> i downloaded
[12:47] <revx> can VLC run on ubuntu 5.10?
[12:47] <ompaul> Rapax, he is going from one end of the scale to grub is broken
[12:47] <Stormmm> and i insatlled it on my portable hard drive now i cant get back on unless iput my CD back in
[12:47] <tarelerulz> I am playing a  avi file with gxine and it don't make sound . SO what is up with that. I mean mplayer make sound with my usb sound card
[12:47] <ompaul> revx, that is way out of support I suggest you get something a bit more useful and it will
[12:48] <revx> i see ok i should upgrade my distro
[12:48] <ompaul> Stormmm, I am gone away in 10 seconds
[12:48] <Stormmm> ompaul:
[12:48] <Stormmm> Please tlell me or help me
[12:49] <Stormmm> when im follwoing them commands
[12:49] <Stormmm> its not working
[12:49] <ompaul> revx, yes go to http://www.ubuntu.com/ and tcheck out download
[12:49] <Stormmm> its giving me Error 15 file not found
[12:49] <ompaul> Stormmm, search for it, there are many many guides and trust in yourself
[12:49] <Stormmm> ompaul: listen
[12:49] <Rapax> Stormmm: So you downloaded the live-CD (Feisty? Gutsy?), booted from it, and then installed it to a USB drive? Right so far?
[12:49] <Stormmm> ues Rapax
[12:49] <Stormmm> *Yes Rapax
[12:50] <Stormmm> Now when i take the CD out and reboot it gives me GRUB 21 error
[12:50] <Rapax> And now? You can only boot from your UBS drive, or what's the problem?
[12:50] <Rapax> I see
[12:50] <Stormmm> No i can only boot from the CD
[12:51] <Rapax> what does your /boot/grub/menu.lst file look like?
[12:51] <BobSapp> Anyone got any experiences using Xgl with gutsy?
[12:51] <Stormmm> Rapax: What do you sugest i do now?
[12:52] <Stormmm> How do i open it?
[12:52] <Rapax> Stormmm: Have you googled to see what grub error 21 is?
[12:52] <Stormmm> I'm afraid i cant
[12:52] <Stormmm> I've got 10 minutes till work
[12:52] <Stormmm> Im already 45 minutes late due to this porblem
[12:53] <Rapax> Ok, I've done it for you: It means that the 'selected disk' does not exist
[12:53] <Stormmm> Ok, How do i fix that?
[12:53] <Rapax> So, I'd guess that probably, grub references the mounted Live-CD in it list
[12:53] <jimmacdonald> Is there a simple way to change my hostname?
[12:54] <Stormmm> ok, How do i do that?
[12:54] <Rapax> now if you try and start without the cd, it will complain about a missing disk
[12:54] <Rapax> what OS are you running right now?
[12:54] <Stormmm> I'm on Unbuntu Linux but i need to get on XP
[12:54] <Stormmm> Home
[12:54] <Stormmm> When i boot my pc up complains of a Grub 21 error
[12:55] <Topsun> jimmacdonald: you have to edit /etc/hostname and probably /etc/hosts
[12:55] <Stormmm> Oh shit
[12:55] <Stormmm> when i plug my portable hard drive in
[12:55] <tonyyarusso> !ohmy | Stormmm
[12:55] <ubotu> Stormmm: Please watch your language and topic, and keep this channel family friendly.
[12:55] <Stormmm> It finds all them files
[12:55] <Rapax> open a terminal, and try "less /boot/grub/menu.lst"   without the quotes
[12:55] <BobSapp> sounds like he is panicking
[12:56] <Rapax> towards the end of the file, you'll see the various disks that are listed as bootable
[12:56] <Stormmm> It says boot/gruv/menu.lst : no such file...
[12:56] <Rapax> grub
[12:56] <Rapax> not gruv
[12:56] <Stormmm> yeh thats what i done
[12:56] <Stormmm> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ less /boot/grub/menu.lst
[12:56] <Stormmm> /boot/grub/menu.lst: No such file or directory
[12:56] <Stormmm> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ less /boot/grub/menu.lst
[12:57] <Stormmm> There
[12:57] <Rapax> Hmmm....
[12:57] <Rapax> weird

[01:14] <holycow> c3p0: kde people say yes
[01:14] <cursty87_> hmhowie, da hilft mir keiner
[01:14] <somenewnick> Can topsun read my PMs?
[01:15] <c3p0> but whats the ratio of KDE to GDE?
[01:15] <Topsun> somenewnick: no
[01:15] <holycow> se-agapo: sounds like you downloaded a login manager theme
[01:15] <se-agapo> holycow but i dont know how to change
[01:15] <hmhowie> cursty87_: well, this is an english speaking channel ;)
[01:15] <somenewnick> WHY THE HELL??? I am goin kraqzy in this ultradense chat cannnot keep track fo my questions and answers!
[01:15] <oMish_> which package will install manpages for pthreads ?
[01:15] <se-agapo> holycow from the art manager you can download and login manager
[01:15] <cursty87_> hmhowie, i know but i really need help
[01:15] <somenewnick> Topsun plz pm me
[01:16] <doug__> how do i add this codec   drvc.so?
[01:16] <hmhowie> cursty87_: what are you trying to do with the usb port? try opening a terminal, typing "tail -f /var/log/messages" and then plugging something into the usb port
[01:17] <somenewnick> bah...I cannot get a single advice from here...I loose hours of conversations for no info....how newbies are supposed to learn? Increbilbe..
[01:17] <Topsun> somenewnick: unfortunately i have no idea how to help you with your hybernation problem :(
[01:17] <se-agapo> holycow have you found it ?
[01:17] <holycow> found what?
[01:17] <holycow> you expect me to do work for you?
[01:17] <holycow> wow.
[01:17] <doug__> how do i add this codec   drvc.so?
[01:18] <cursty87_> hmhowie, i did nothing, lspci say unknown device, and another man sad to me i have to search for amp an download a driver for this card
[01:18] <se-agapo> sorry for asking
[01:18] <Tarkus> what fields/industries work with linux as opposed to windows? (i know VFX production for film/games is almost non existent in linux, web design typically is done on windows or mac os, and i dont know how software developers would work since its all free/non-profit)
[01:18] <holycow> se-agapo: not really trying to be rude.  not sure what you want me to look for.
[01:18] <holycow> se-agapo: typically you won't be downloading a login manager from anywher eonline
[01:19] <ProN00b> is there any way to not display any icons on the desktop temporarily ?
[01:19] <holycow> to compile and install something like that is a fairly sophisticated process
[01:19] <hmhowie> cursty87_: just because linux doesn't know the name of the device, doesn't mean that it doesn't work properly. have you tried using the port?
[01:19] <Topsun> just wondering if every new user wants a guided tour through Linux :/
[01:19] <holycow> chances are you downloaded a login manager theme
[01:19] <doug__> how do i add this codec   drvc.so?
[01:19] <holycow> if you want to try different login managers, open up synaptic and install kdm or gdm or xdm and play around
[01:19] <holycow> just make sure you have backed up all your data
[01:19] <holycow> first
[01:19] <holycow> dont be trying to install whatever you downloaded
[01:20] <se-agapo> holycow i just did and you download from the art manager and go art >other themes and there is login manager
[01:20] <holycow> so what is the problem then?
[01:21] <se-agapo> you can download the file but i dont know how to install is
[01:21] <cursty87_> hmhowie, using the port? i typed tail -f /var/log/messages and pluged in my usb stick, nothing in var /log/messages
[01:21] <holycow> ahhhhhh
[01:21] <doug__> how do i add this codec   drvc.so?
[01:21] <astro76> !repeat | doug__
[01:21] <holycow> okay ... se-agapo okay i can give you answers to complicated things, simple things are not my forte :)
[01:21] <ubotu> doug__: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[01:21] <holycow> i don't spend much time tryhing out themes, eheh!
[01:21] <Enselic> doug__: what app and what cntext?
[01:21] <holycow> se-agapo: sorry about that, maybe someone else knows
[01:22] <se-agapo> holycow ok thanks
[01:22] <hmhowie> cursty87_: that's a bad sign. do you know what make and model your card is? maybe open the case and inspect the card, then google for it, or ask on ubuntuforums.org
[01:22] <se-agapo> xexe
[01:22] <BMT> is there a irc client for linux that runs in the terminal
[01:22] <BMT> no gui ?

[01:23] <BMT> thanks
[01:23] <Tarkus> i've been using linux for a few months, and im wondering. do any linux users work with linux as their job? because i dont see how developing free software can produce an income.. and doing graphics/vfx is not an option in linux, because all the (decent) production software is for windows..
[01:24] <Enselic> doug_: what file are you trying to play? you proably could just double-click it, totem will ask if youwant to install the required codec
[01:24] <se-agapo> since you can give answers in complicated things can you pls tell me how can i find and install the built in drivers for my 1.3 mp camera ?
[01:24] <holycow> Tarkus: i make my living with linux
[01:24] <holycow> we do everything on linux
[01:25] <holycow> from sysadming, to servers to workstations
[01:25] <holycow> to development
[01:25] <doug__> Enselic:  its a movie and totem locked up on me

[01:30] <vik> Is it possible to automatically run a particular program when a particular usb stick is plugged in?
[01:30] <Enselic> vik: yes, with the highest probability
[01:31] <holycow> anandanbu: that could be a very interesting way to help promote the community idea and promote the project
[01:31] <holycow> anandanbu: nice thinking
[01:31] <mete_888> how I can configure all interfaces new?
[01:31] <vik> Enselic: OK thanks; see ya

[01:32] <BMT2> Enselic: just wanted to see if this was possible...sorry !  lol
[01:32] <holycow> BMT2: well you can run certain versions of flash ide via wine or crossover office on linux ...
[01:32] <anandanbu> holycow: i just asked is it possible to get a e-mail id as mentioned
[01:32] <holycow> ... i haven't seen it work very well at all acctually.  so probably the answer is maybe but not really
[01:32] <holycow> anandanbu: and i responded on several different levels
[01:32] <Enselic> vik: nop, but I belive people in ##linux might know
[01:32] <holycow> if you have a hard time with that, well okay ... maybe english is a second language

[01:35] <astro76> anandanbu, only Ubuntu members have that: http://www.ubuntu.com/community/processes/newmember
[01:35] <bmt2> how can i verify that i have java JRE and JDK installed on my system.....i remember doing it but i wanted to verify...and i think i used apt-get to install both of them
[01:35] <void^> bmt2: java -version
[01:35] <mm23> i have installed new HDD , when i mount the drive manually he get the name "disk" how can i auto-mount this drive ?
[01:36] <anandanbu> astro76: Thanks for that
[01:36] <bmt2> void^: this will verify if i have both the JRE and the JDK installed ?
[01:36] <void^> bmt2: javac -version
[01:36] <bmt2> void^: thakns
[01:36] <bmt2> void^: thanks
[01:37] <MetaL-1> Hello all
[01:38] <bmt2> isn't there a way to verify if you have a program installed with apt-get ...granted you used apt-get to install the program ?
[01:38] <nbkr> bmt2, dpkg -l shows the installed applications.
[01:39] <void^> bmt2: 'dpkg -l | grep jdk' and some other ways, but it depends on you knowing either (part of) the package name or the filename with full path of a file in the package
[01:40] <void^> bmt2: scratch that, 'dpkg -S javac' works nicely
[01:41] <Zergiu> hello
[01:41] <Leon_home> hello, need some help here plz, how i remove java from my ubuntu ?
[01:42] <nbkr> Leon_home, How did you install it?
[01:42] <Topsun> Leon_home: try using synaptic
[01:42] <idefix> why do people almost always close their conversation window after two minutes of inactivity? is it automatically in windows or linus the case?
[01:43] <idefix> I'm talking about GAIM btw
[01:43] <Leon_home> topsun: my friend installed the java, i think he used synaptic .. what should i search in the synaptic ?
[01:43] <Topsun> Leon_home: java
[01:43] <nbkr> Leon_home, dpkg -l | grep java
[01:43] <DjViper> Leon_home: why do you want to remove it?
[01:44] <DjViper> idefix: neatfreaks? my windows doesn't close hehe
[01:45] <MetaL-1> Talk about a pickle.  I dug out a webcam I was going to use for a project on my roof but I can't seem to get the darned thing to work.  It shows up when I do lsusb with a vendor ID of 0553:002 which I believe is the same as the old terracam's and whatnot.  I thought those were supported natively with Fiery'
[01:45] <Leon_home> DjViper: i think my friend didnt remove the old jave form the ubuntu , i am trying to run some software and i get msg java not found
[01:45] <DjViper> Leon_home: just reinstall java then, it should figure out what it needs and don't needs etc
[01:45] <Topsun> idefix: maybe their routers are closing the connections due to inactivity
[01:46] <Leon_home> DjViper: how can i reinstall java from the terminal ?
[01:46] <doug__> how do i add this codec   drvc.so?
[01:46] <MetaL-1> Even camorama cant connect to video0 - but it is definately present
[01:47] <mete_888> if I try: ifdown eth0  it says: interface not configured... but in ifconfig I see the eth0 iterface.. what's going on? xD
[01:47] <Topsun> mete_888: does it have an ip?
[01:47] <barry_trotter> hello
[01:47] <cat_loic> hi
[01:47] <cat_loic> I wanted to go to ubuntu-fr, sorry :p
[01:48] <doug__> Video codec 'Real Video 4.0' is not handled. You might need to install additional plugins to be able to play some types of movies                         how do i fix this?
[01:48] <barry_trotter> heu yes me too
[01:48] <mete_888> Topsun, jep, and I can ping it
[01:48] <holycow> doug__: enably universe and search for real video codecs
[01:48] <cat_loic> ^^ bye
[01:48] <Leon_home> DjViper: ok , i did it ... i uninstall java ...what is better ? installing the java from the synaptic or from terminal by "apt-get" ?
[01:48] <holycow> Leon_home: its eact same
[01:48] <gurkburk_> isnt that the same thing?
[01:48] <holycow> synaptic uses apt
[01:48] <doug__> holycow: how i do that?
[01:49] <Leon_home> ok
[01:49] <holycow> !universe
[01:49] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource

[01:49] <holycow> !easysource
[01:49] <ubotu> synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[01:49] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[01:49] <mete_888> Topsun other ideas? ;)
[01:50] <ProN00b> Leon_home, what matters is that you install the right java... the one you need (there is sun java 5 and 6 as well as gcj, you propably want sun java 5 (or 6))#
[01:50] <Topsun> mete_888: you can use --force :)
[01:51] <gurkburk_> I actually have a little problem that im guessing is very common, gonna run it by you guys. I have 2 disks I wanto acces in both under winXP and Ubuntu. Currently, they have 1 partition each taking 100% space, in NTFS. They are 200/300GB respectively. Im both having some problems with this in linux, to say the least, and im also worried about the ntfs being a bit "experimental" under linux, cant risc loosing any data really :p
[01:51] <gurkburk_> what would be the ideal way to go about this?
[01:51] <gurkburk_> FAT cant really handle 2/300 GB partitions in a single table, afaik..
[01:52] <mete_888> Topsun, than it says: SIOCDELRT: No such process
[01:52] <ProN00b> gurkburk_, read only ntfs not an option ?
[01:52] <gurkburk_> well, no not really, atleast not on the 300GB disk, which is the one im having most problems with.
[01:52] <gurkburk_> perhaps because its "so big", im not sure.
[01:52] <Topsun> gurkburk_: use ext2/3 driver for windows
[01:52] <ProN00b> gurkburk_, huh, what is the actual problem ?
[01:52] <doug__> holycow:  i did and am getting samething
[01:53] <tommax1083> hi all, i have a problem with firefox...
[01:53] <gurkburk_> well both mounting it and making ntfs-3g is very dodgy, randomly works, is the best description I suppose.
[01:53] <Topsun> mete_888: and a previously used 'ifup'?
[01:53] <gurkburk_> And every 4th or 5th reboot in linux the graphical ntfs-3g manager complains over various different errors on that disc.
[01:53] <mete_888> Topsun the iface was configured after boot..
[01:53] <tommax1083> now i have install xubuntu...all program run ok....but firefox have a problem...the font of the menu and the status bar are too big!
[01:54] <Leon_home> what i should write in order to install java ? sudo apt-get install _______
[01:54] <Leon_home> ?
[01:54] <gurkburk_> Windows cant read ext2 can it?
[01:54] <tommax1083> ...i have install firefox-granparadiso and are all ok
[01:54] <ProN00b> uuh, thats bad, ntfs-3g worked kinda automagically, but what is that graphical ntfs-3g manager you are talking about ?
[01:54] <kbrosnan> tommax1083: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Pane_and_menu_fonts
[01:54] <ProN00b> gurkburk_, windows can read ext2 with a driver
[01:54] <IrishDave> hey, how do i connect to a UFS folder share? or how do i mount it?
[01:55] <Topsun> mete_888: according to man ifdown 'records  can  become  inconsistent  with  the  real  states of the interfaces'
[01:55] <ProN00b> gurkburk_, if those drives are not external ones for quick moving, that is actually a pretty good solution
[01:55] <gurkburk_> its a program that ended up in applications -> System Tools, called NTFS-3G Configuration Tool
[01:55] <tommax1083> kbrosnan: thanks so much!!!!!!!!! :)
[01:55] <MetaL-1> Even camorama cant connect to video0 - but it is definately present
[01:55] <mete_888> Topsun how can I configure the hole networking new?
[01:55] <MetaL-1> Talk about a pickle.  I dug out a webcam I was going to use for a project on my roof but I can't seem to get the darned thing to work.  It shows up when I do lsusb with a vendor ID of 0553:002 which I believe is the same as the old terracam's and whatnot.  I thought those were supported natively with Fiery'
[01:55] <gurkburk_> ok, so windows can actually read ext2, didnt know that, however, can it write to it aswell?
[01:55] <ProN00b> gurkburk_, that shows you errors ? it only allows me to enable/disable write support
[01:56] <ProN00b> gurkburk_, yeah, there is a read/write driver for it
[01:56] <IrishDave> hey, how do i connect to a NFS folder share? or how do i mount it?
[01:56] <gurkburk_> ah right, didnt know that, should solve my problems actually if its possible, ill google some on ext2 and windows :)
[01:56] <ProN00b> gurkburk_, did you try windows scandisk on those ntfs drives ?
[01:56] <POVaddct> gurkburk_: windows cannot read or write ext2 without installing a driver for it. but there is one.
[01:56] <Topsun> mete_888: either Syste->Administration->Network or /etc/network/interfaces
[01:56] <gurkburk_> partially, I get errors when I try checking and enabling the 300GB disk. However, the 200/300GB doesnt always show up, bit random really.
[01:57] <gurkburk_> yeah ive run windows "check disk" tool on both discs, incase there was some table error or whatever, somewhere
[01:57] <mete_888> Topsun okay, thx
[01:57] <gurkburk_> if I check the 300GB disk with "fdisk -l" I get a dodgy reply tbh
[01:57] <gurkburk_> /dev/sdc1               2      620178   312569208    f  W95 Ext'd (LBA)
[01:57] <gurkburk_> /dev/sdc5               2      620177   312568672+   7  HPFS/NTFS
[01:58] <MetaL-1> =/
[01:58] <gurkburk_> The 200GB (for example, have several discs) just has a NTFS_-partition
[01:58] <ProN00b> hmm, ok, might be a problem with windows preexistant ntfs formation, (ntfs-3g worked perfectly for me so far, but i only used it from linux only, no windows access at all)
[01:58] <gurkburk_> I have 2 more discs, one scsi and one sata, and those 2 have worked 100% error free. Its these 2 that's been acting a bit weird.
[01:59] <gurkburk_> Im guessing either ubuntu or ntfs-3g somehow auto-mounts/fixes discs on boot, because i tried removing both of em completely from my fstab-file but they were back after a reboot :-p
[01:59] <ProN00b> hmm, the fdisk looks normal to me, a ntfs partition in an extended win partition
[01:59] <gurkburk_> ok, the other disc, 200GB, looks like this:
[01:59] <Rageon> anyone got google talk working with pidgin?
[01:59] <gurkburk_> /dev/sda1   *           1       24791   199133676    7  HPFS/NTFS
[01:59] <bullgard4> What is the relationship of 'diff' command and 'diff file'?
[01:59] <gurkburk_> no W95 ext table on it.
[02:00] <POVaddct> bullgard4: a diff file is the output of diff written to a file
[02:00] <gurkburk_> and that disc has worked alot smoother in ubuntu then the other one :-p
[02:00] <ProN00b> well, then its a primary partition afaik
[02:00] <bullgard4> POVaddct: Thank you for explaining.
[02:00] <gurkburk_> oh so thats the difference? Havent even thought about that, both are just extra storage-discs so havent really thought about it.
[02:00] <ProN00b> hmm, maybe you can turn that extended partition into a primary one from windows somehow
[02:00] <swiftnomad> Hello-- how do you use a pl script?
[02:00] <gurkburk_> but right, hafto figure out a way to empty one disc at a time, and convert em to ext2 ;-)
[02:01] <secher> hmm whats the process firefox called when i want to "killall"??
[02:01] <gurkburk_> thanks for the help Pro, could solve some future headaches :)
[02:01] <swiftnomad> hello-- anyone know how to use a perl script?
[02:01] <ryan_> try pkill firefox
[02:01] <Rageon> is their a linux IM that everyone uses?
[02:01] <void^> you can turn extend partitions into primary with fdisk easily enough, but it's a scary thing to do and usually not necessary ;)
[02:01] <Zergiu> hello , after executing the command ./configure to install aMSN , it sais to use "make" , I get a lot of errors , any suggestions?
