[03:33] <mcrandello> also (dangerous) add you to the root, sudo and I think shadow dirs and you'll never have to type a password again
[03:33] <mcrandello> s/dirs/groups
[03:34] <confusco> does anybody have an idea why my game is running slow? I've installed the nvidia driver correctly and direct rendering is on.
[03:34] <mcrandello> you'll still have to type sudo but it won't bug you for a password
[03:34] <Milos_SD> anyone?
[03:34] <dope> why's it dangerous?
[03:34] <Lovloss> i thought you could run gparted without the live cd
[03:34] <bimberi> dope: It's a good idea to get used to sudo.  It means better security and less chance of stuffups.
[03:34] <Novagenesis> confusco: have you tested glxgears to see if you're actually using accelleration?
[03:34] <preaction> dope, because now anybody can open a terminal and type "sudo rm -rf /"
[03:34] <Novagenesis> confusco: then, what game is "my game"?
[03:34] <mcrandello> what bimberi said
[03:34] <confusco> yes I have
[03:34] <mcrandello> personally I like to live dangerously
[03:34] <dope> hm
[03:34] <confusco> at least, I think
[03:35] <confusco> game: Tribes 2
[03:35] <Novagenesis> confusco: what game is it?
[03:35] <cheatersrealm> not everyone can do that, it's the sudoers file that handles it
[03:35] <Pahalial> Question: Upon selecting a LAMP server installation, will I be prompted as to whether I want to install such things as samba during the installation, or would that need to be done afterwards?
[03:35] <Novagenesis> confusco: ok, what're you running it througH? is it linux native?
[03:35] <confusco> native
[03:35] <Jordan_U> dope: If you run a program it can do whatever it wants, not running as root is the main reason ( although there are many others ) that linux is secure and windows has viruses.
[03:35] <mcrandello> although it would be irresponsible to give advice that could hose your box without warning you
[03:35] <dope> can the tar command unarchieve zip files?
[03:35] <luca> hi everyone
[03:35] <Milos_SD> why all drop down menu's are behind flash when viewing web page in linux?
[03:35] <bimberi> Pahalial: afterwards (i'm fairly sure)
[03:35] <luca> is there a channel for webcam support?
[03:36] <Pahalial> alright, thanks bimberi
[03:36] <preaction> dope, it can unarchive gz and bz files
[03:36] <Novagenesis> poor, poor linux, so ignored on the virus front... everyone, always use root...think of the poor VIRUSES
[03:36] <dope> is there a way to unzip zip files in linux?
[03:36] <Novagenesis> sorry :) I"m buggin while ubuntu installs
[03:36] <preaction> dope, yes, sudo apt-get install unzip
[03:36] <Jordan_U> !zip | dope
[03:36] <ubotu> dope: Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (gnome) or ark (kde) - also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression
[03:36] <mcrandello> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1782430 <<-- anyone ever see this one before? I have the same problem
[03:36] <Kingsqueak> unzip
[03:36] <dope> ok cool thx
[03:36] <bimberi> Novagenesis: lol
[03:36] <mcrandello> dope there's also an unzip command from the command line that will do it
[03:36] <luca> sudo apt-get install ark
[03:37] <Jordan_U> dope: Or just double click the .zip file :)
[03:37] <luca> mcrandello: why using command line when there are nice GUI programs? :D
[03:37] <dope> oh
[03:37] <dope> haha ok thx yall
[03:37] <luca> or right click - Extract ;-)
[03:37] <jonduf_> hi
[03:37] <Novagenesis> luca: why use GUI programs when a commandline is faster?
[03:38] <mcrandello> luca: I try not to use ark, I called a boycott when it started puking on rar files using d&d
[03:38] <jonduf_> does anyone know how to use the python bindings of gnome-vte? I can't find documentation for it anywhere
[03:38] <luca> is there a channel for webcam support by the way?
[03:38] <dope> is there a way to setup the gmail web interface as my default mail client?
[03:38] <confusco> no, not faster
[03:38] <luca> mcrandello: what do you mean?
[03:38] <Jordan_U> luca: Not that I know of, here is probably your best bet.
[03:38] <luca> Novagenesis: I know they are faster, but eye wants its part
[03:38] <mcrandello> luca, open a rar file, drag the contents to the desktop, cleanup on aisle ark
[03:39] <Milos_SD> Question: why all drop down menu's are behind flash when viewing web page in linux? I don't have that problem in windows... :(
[03:39] <Zweideutig> Does Ubuntu's installer use X11?
[03:39] <mcrandello> luca, it says something about the clipboard being empty
[03:39] <liquidboy> how do i find out what processor i have? i know i'ts an amd, but nothing else
[03:39] <luca> Milos_SD: have you installed flash player beta 9?
[03:39] <Jordan_U> Milos_SD: Flash 7 or flash 9 ?
[03:39] <Zweideutig> Does Ubuntu's installer use ncurses?
[03:39] <bimberi> dope: i very much doubt it, you can use configure mail clients to work with gmail though
[03:39] <bimberi> liquidboy: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[03:40] <Novagenesis> Zweideutig: Actually, I just installed ubuntu from Gnome while chatting in this very room...
[03:40] <Milos_SD> luca, yes a have
[03:40] <luca> mcrandello: gimme a sec, I do *not* have any rar files with me on this pc! :D
[03:40] <dope> hm ok
[03:40] <Lovloss> i tried qtparted and it couldnt find anything but my working drive
[03:40] <luca> Milos_SD: I have not noticed anything, I cannot help you I fear :(
[03:40] <Frankle> I just ran the disc check, everything is fine
[03:40] <Milos_SD> Jordan_U, flash 7 (opera)and flash 9 beta 2 (firefox 1.5 and 2)
[03:40] <Novagenesis> speaking of live cds and the like...i will be back..have to reboot
[03:40] <Lovloss> i want to re-partition one of my internal drives
[03:40] <mcrandello> seriously though I think this is a bug in k3d, maybe needs some field in the deb or something to get by pycentral
[03:40] <Zweideutig> How graphical is the Ubuntu installer?
[03:40] <bimberi> Zweideutig: the Desktop installer uses python/gnome, alternate is text based - not sure if its ncurses though
[03:40] <Frankle> I also tried to boot with the safe graphics mode, still distorts the graphics and becomes un responsive
[03:40] <liquidboy> bimberi, sweet, cheers
[03:40] <Lovloss> completely graphical
[03:41] <mcrandello> Zweideutig: it's a liveCD with an install icon on the desktop, that graphical :)
[03:41] <bimberi> liquidboy: np :)
[03:41] <cento> hi
[03:41] <lakcaj> Zweideutig, there's a "live install" on the CD that most people will download, but if you download the ubuntu alternate CD, then it will be ncurses
[03:41] <bimberi> Zweideutig: graphical and only 6 steps
[03:41] <PMantis> Hello. I just build a new Ubuntu 6.10 server. I rebooted, and it just sits there, without starting any services. It took 10 minutes for me to login!
[03:42] <Jordan_U> Milos_SD: It's Beta, they are probably trying to do direct rendering but don't know how to do it properly, the flash people scare me with their lack of knowlage when it comes to linux...
[03:43] <Milos_SD> but why flash 7 don't work ? it is final version, not beta :)
[03:43] <Jordan_U> Zweideutig: There is also an Alternate ncurses install option though.
[03:44] <Novagenesis> back..not sure if this is the nick I used, or not though
[03:44] <Frankle> grr
[03:44] <Jordan_U> Milos_SD: For the same reason sound doesn't sync in flash 7 even though it is final, the flash devs are incompetent.
[03:44] <Frankle> ubuntu have problems with nvidia?
[03:44] <Lovloss> i keep thinking i have it figured out
[03:44] <bipolar> does anyone know what happened to the 'radeon' driver in Edgy?
[03:44] <bipolar> not fglrx, the open source radeon driver...
[03:44] <Lovloss> Guys, seriously, i want to edit the partition on an internal drive that is not mounted logically. Can i do it like i did with gparted on the install disk?
[03:44] <bipolar> is it wrapped up in 'ati' now?
[03:44] <Milos_SD> Jordan_U, I don't have any sound problem with flash... youtube works perfectly :)
[03:44] <Jordan_U> Frankle: No, how did you try to install the drivers?
[03:45] <Novagenesis> is automatix the best way to get nvidia set up?
[03:45] <luca> sorry went offline
[03:45] <Milos_SD> a have problem with drop down menu over flash
[03:45] <Milos_SD> :)
[03:45] <GionnyBoss> I have just installed Ubuntu... I had Fedora Core 5 before... and Ubuntu is quite different... can anybody help me settings all the things in the right way, please?
[03:45] <slicky> anyone know why the make thingy stops when i try to install WineCVS ?  the howto says that i have to install flex-old to solve the problem.. but i have done that.. and ii still get a err msg
[03:45] <luca> in any case, no pm for me, I am not registered yet
[03:45] <Frankle> I havent had a chance to install anything, it locks up the second it gets to the desktop after I run ubuntu
[03:45] <projkt4> hi, i cant get totem to play files over the network, i get cannot read from resource
[03:45] <bimberi> !nvidia
[03:45] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:45] <Jordan_U> Milos_SD: But it isn't in synch in flash 7 , that is a fact, it doesn't work anywhere.
[03:45] <stalefries> !anybody | GionnyBoss
[03:45] <ubotu> GionnyBoss: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[03:45] <Frankle> the graphic it shows is garbled
[03:45] <Frankle> I get mouse movment, that's all
[03:45] <Lovloss> there's an nvidia patch in the add/remove programs
[03:45] <projkt4> do i have to do the windows equivilent of mapping a drive?
[03:46] <slicky> !anybody | WineCVS
[03:46] <ubotu> WineCVS: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[03:46] <Jordan_U> Milos_SD: They have fixed that in fash 9 though.
[03:46] <joejaxx> Novagenesis: automaitx is not a really good idea :(
[03:46] <GionnyBoss> ok sorry... I don't know my root password... what is it? with sudo I can use root account, but I'd like to know root password
[03:46] <gennro> ?
[03:46] <mcrandello> GionnyBoss: there isn't one at first
[03:46] <Lovloss> :(~ i wanna repartition my internal harddriiiiive
[03:46] <Kingsqueak> GionnyBoss: there isn't one, if you need a root prompt, just do  sudo -s
[03:46] <bimberi> GionnyBoss: Ubuntu sets everything up in the right way.  You just need to modify your perception :-)
[03:46] <Milos_SD> Jordan_U, what? sound synch, or flash over drop down menu's?
[03:46] <Novagenesis> joejaxx:  thanks for not botspammin like the other person did....so what's particularly wrong with automatix?
[03:46] <joejaxx> GionnyBoss: your sudo password is the same thing as your account password
[03:46] <projkt4> does anybody have experiance playing video and audio over their lan?
[03:46] <luca> root password is the same for sudo
[03:46] <Lovloss> but i can only seem to edit my external where linux is
[03:46] <Jordan_U> Milos_SD: Sound synch
[03:47] <mcrandello> GionnyBoss: they discourage using one as well, use gksudo for graphical apps you want to run as root
[03:47] <GionnyBoss> ok sorry... it's just that I'm costumed with Fedora Core and I used to open a terminal and type "su" :P
[03:47] <Milos_SD> :)
[03:47] <Kingsqueak> GionnyBoss: just do sudo -s
[03:47] <luca> well you can
[03:47] <luca> if you abilitate it
[03:47] <mcrandello> GionnyBoss: to becone "root" use sudo -i then put in your own password
[03:48] <GionnyBoss> thanks mcrandello
[03:48] <joejaxx> Novagenesis: it use scripts and things are not packaged right, it can break your system, you might not see it presently but when you go to update or upgrade to a newer release things are going to break it has happened to alot of people with edgy despite the authors little statement about this channel on the website :(
[03:48] <F28> I Love unubtu
[03:48] <txx2> simmerz,  phew...  http://flickr.com/photos/10043466@N00/
[03:48] <paradox34690> hey, i have 2 questions. I'm new to Linux and have no clue what I'm doing just yet. I'm using (or attempting to use) XMMS in my Ubuntu 6.10 installation. Upon trying to open a web link to stream some music, I'm getting an error that says "Totem could not play 'mmsh://bdcast-greatermedia-wmgk-fm.wm.llnwd.net/bdcast_greatermedia_wmgk-fm?MSWMExt=.asf' No URI handler implemented for "mmsh"". How can I fix it?
[03:48] <Milos_SD> i'm not interested in sound synch, I'm interested in flash on web sites over drop down menu's
[03:48] <GionnyBoss> hey guys, you are great... on #fedora channel I didn't have all this help so quickly :)
[03:48] <Novagenesis> joejaxx: fun....guess i still gotta go the way I went in Dapper with my last system
[03:48] <joejaxx> Novagenesis: yeah probably so
[03:48] <Novagenesis> not fond of self-nuyking
[03:48] <luca> paradox, try some other player
[03:48] <luca> I advise kmplayer, mplayer, amarok
[03:49] <joejaxx> Novagenesis: haha yeah me either, i just wish there was a way to educate people about automatix
[03:49] <projkt4> if i wanted to play an .avi that is being shared on my network by a windows pc am i able to play it without having to download it to my pc?
[03:49] <GionnyBoss> another thing... how can I install all plugins for audio-video (mp3, divx) and flash player... and all this stuff? can you suggest me a web page with a tutorial, please?
[03:49] <Who_> paradox: probably :) - have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[03:49] <PMantis> How can I diagnose a S-L-O-W booting Edgy install? It took 25 minutes to give me a login prompt!
[03:49] <projkt4> im using edgy
[03:49] <confusco> does anybody have an idea why my native game(Tribes 2) is running slow(Half FPS of Win). I've installed the nvidia driver correctly and direct rendering is on.
[03:50] <paradox34690> Well, I'm used to using WinAMP, so I'm looking for something that's universal in that aspect.
[03:50] <Novagenesis> ok, here's a question... how solid is 64 bit support? ..i'm on a dual-core Athlon64 in a 386 kernel...should I download the A64 kernel instead?
[03:50] <Novagenesis> paradox34690: xmms
[03:50] <cheesy> paradox34690: xmms
[03:50] <cheesy> :)
[03:50] <Who_> paradox34690: have a look above at what I posted if you missed it :) I got your name wrong
[03:50] <joejaxx> paradox34690: yeah xmms is really close to winamp :)
[03:50] <fourat> how to erase a CD ? not using k3b
[03:50] <Novagenesis> cheesy: jynx you owe me a yoohoo? :)
[03:51] <paradox34690> Nova, Cheesy, all aparently, That's the reason i'm getting that message...
[03:51] <joejaxx> Novagenesis: i do not know as i do not have 64bit pcs well i do but they are old sun sparcstations haha 233mhz
[03:51] <Who_> paradox34690: If you want a player that will play _everything_ you throw at it then you can't go far wrong with VLC
[03:51] <GionnyBoss> I'd like to install nVidia drivers and all codecs and plugins useful for a desktop environment... how can I do it?
[03:51] <Novagenesis> will the system explode on me (software-wise) if I swap kernels from 32 to 64 bit without fully reinstalling?
[03:52] <projkt4> xmms will not play .mp3 files over the network either
[03:52] <projkt4> right now i'm just connecting via smb
[03:52] <wimpies> I am looking for the dbgp debugger client ... is there a package for it ?
[03:52] <paradox34690> hmmm... okay, I'll have to try out VLC then...
[03:52] <paradox34690> thanks guys...
[03:52] <malt> Hello, is it insecure to use dynamic dns clients, where the information is in config of the domain?
[03:52] <joejaxx> Novagenesis: i do not know for sure but i do not think it will
[03:52] <paradox34690> anything special I should know about installing it?
[03:52] <Who_> paradox36490: But I find gstreamer with all the plugins (add multiverse as a repository and then use synaptic to  add anything with gstreamer in the name - ugly, bad, etc)
[03:52] <malt> is there anyway to encrypt this?
[03:53] <joejaxx> Novagenesis: if you are going to try it make sure you install 64bit and then reboot into it
[03:53] <bimberi> fourat: sudo cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc blank=fast (blank=all will do a complete erase) - hdc is a guess, your CD writer may be a different device
[03:53] <projkt4> is there a different room i should be asking these questions?
[03:53] <Who_> paradox34690: didn't finish my sentence - gstreamer with all plugins works nicely
[03:53] <red|rain> hey everyone ^_^ i'm updating my machine, but i'm getting very slow download speeds. Right now i'm downloading at 16kb/s when my max at 40k if i'm lucky. I used to be able to download at my full speed of 270k.
[03:53] <flavioribeiro> i have a 'rar' file that constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive, how can i unzip?!
[03:53] <tanubis_> I'm trying to get cedega to play starcraft on my averatec laptop...  Cedega has default settings with starcraft that work for most people, but for me when I try to use it I get the game in a small section of my screen at the top left, and the rest of the screen is black.  Anyone know of anything that would cause video errors like this?
[03:53] <flavioribeiro> actually i have 2 files that one needs the other one to unzip
[03:53] <joejaxx> Novagenesis: then after a couple of days (or hours or minutes depending on how your system feels ) if everything is stable then remove the 386
[03:54] <Pelo> RedKrieg,  if you are talknign about the  dapper to edgy update ,it is terriblty slow
[03:54] <Novagenesis> lol...interesting... Synaptic only sees x86 stuff...how do I add 64-bit capability to my apt?
[03:54] <Who_> tanubis: are you sing anything like XGL, compiz, beryl?
[03:54] <joejaxx> Novagenesis: did you install the 64bit version of ubuntu?
[03:54] <GionnyBoss> hey guys... I can't understand nothing here... I have just installed Ubuntu... I guess I should add a repo and then install all the codecs / plugins... what should I do? I'm new to Ubuntu
[03:54] <fryfrog> when i setup ubuntu, it asked me which nic i wanted to use as primary eth0 or eth1.  I picked eth0 and would like to change to eth1, but am not sure where this setting is.  anyone know?
[03:54] <Novagenesis> no, joejaxx, I installed the 32-bit...i was thinking of trying to update on the fly ;)
[03:54] <red|rain> Pelo, actually it's any sort of update or download on both Dapper/Edgy and my edgy to Feisty upgrade.
[03:54] <joejaxx> Novagenesis: haha :)
[03:55] <joejaxx> GionnyBoss: you want to look at the restricted formats page
[03:55] <Novagenesis> hey,. it's not the gutsiest (dumbest) move I've ever made
[03:55] <tanubis_> Who_ to be honest, not entirely sure.  I've never tried gaming on a laptop, my knowledge of video-based things in general is pretty sketchy as I've always just used it for coding.
[03:55] <Novagenesis> and I'm more than willing to stick with ext3 :-D
[03:55] <joejaxx> GionnyBoss: it will tell you how to enable certain stuff
[03:55] <Who_> paradox34690: doing it the gstreamer way means lots of apps will work
[03:55] <Pelo> red|rain,  I understand but I can'T help
[03:55] <GionnyBoss> joejaxx: what are the restricted format page?
[03:55] <tanubis_> Who_ how would I check that?
[03:55] <joejaxx> Novagenesis: haha that was not dumb :P i actually use reiserfs
[03:55] <Novagenesis> upgrading a partially installed hoary into dapper is the dumbest thing I've tried...and that blew up at me

[03:56] <joejaxx> GionnyBoss: the first link in that post
[03:56] <Novagenesis> joejaxx: yeah, but reiser's a killer now ;P
[03:56] <Who_> tanubis: have you got wobbly windows or have you done anything special to enable special visual effects (given that you don't know - you almost certainly haven't :))
[03:56] <joejaxx> GionnyBoss: :D
[03:56] <red|rain> Pelo, what ubuntu server are you downloading from, I have tried Canada (Ca), USA (US) and (UK)
[03:56] <paradox34690> Who: Yeah, already downloading VLC... Not really looking for much work just yet. Like I said, I'm new to this..
[03:56] <joejaxx> Novagenesis: lool  :P
[03:56] <tanubis_> Who_ nope, definatley not.
[03:56] <Fracture> I have an edgy installation using evolution 2.8.1  I am unable to get junk filtering working.  I have installed the packages for both spamassian and bogofilter, the plugins are enabled and I have even trained 2000 junk messages.
[03:56] <GionnyBoss> joejaxx, thanks... I'm going to have a look at that
[03:56] <Who_> tanubis: what kind of graphics chipset are you using?
[03:56] <Novagenesis> joejaxx: but yeah...erm...so I take it doing an on-the-fly upgrade is totally impossible?
[03:56] <joejaxx> GionnyBoss: you are most welcome
[03:56] <Who_> tanubis: and do you have the default or the propriety drivers?
[03:56] <euquita> testing
[03:56] <dope> so when i click on places and then select an ftp resources it opens it in firefox.  how do i just get it to open it in nautilus?
[03:57] <Pelo> red|rain,  I honestly donT' know where I got if from originaly,  finaly I just got the dvd from torrents and installed from there
[03:57] <joejaxx> Novagenesis: i do not know if trying to upgrade from a 32bit version of ubuntu to a 64bit version is going to work at all
[03:57] <Who_> !tell Who_ about gstreamer
[03:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gstreamer - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:57] <Novagenesis> eh, figured as much ;) i take it i can't even have them both in the same directory
[03:57] <red|rain> Pelo, ahh ok
[03:57] <joejaxx> Novagenesis: :)
[03:57] <dope> so when i click on places and then select an ftp resources it opens it in firefox.  how do i just get it to open it in nautilus?
[03:57] <Novagenesis> i'll stick to 32 bit until i'm more comfortable with 64 bit being sane :)
[03:58] <joejaxx> Novagenesis: :)

[04:00] <iter> hah
[04:00] <GionnyBoss> I found the help about gstreamer stuff... but... should I add a new repo for codecs and other non-free software? on Fedora Core there was a Livna repo with all this stuff
[04:00] <iter> mcrandello: ask your question
[04:00] <mcrandello> iter: I did but it slid by a while ago... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1782430
[04:01] <mcrandello> iter his bug is my bug too
[04:01] <tanubis_> Who_ it's an nvidia I believe, but I can't find the model number anywhere on the thing anymore... it's about a year old, and worn off
[04:01] <Who_> tanubis: no probs - have you installed the nvida binary driver?
[04:01] <iter> tanubis_: I suggest you not rub your video card so much
[04:01] <mcrandello> iter it looks like the packagers on k3d forgot to put in a Python-version field somewhere and apt totally freaks out about it
[04:01] <flavioribeiro> i have a 'rar' file that constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive, how can i unzip?!
[04:01] <flavioribeiro> actually i have 2 files that one needs the other one to unzip
[04:01] <Who_> !tell tanubis about nvidia
[04:01] <crimsun> mcrandello: no, that's not it.
[04:02] <crimsun> mcrandello: it's the fact that the check in python-central is incorrect
[04:02] <anonie>
[04:02] <Novagenesis> weird...linux-restricted-modules was installed by default according to synaptic.....
[04:02] <luca> flavioribeiro: sudo apt-get install unrar
[04:02] <anonie>
[04:02] <Novagenesis> but glx-config gave me: Error: unable to load nvidia kernel driver!
[04:02] <LjL> anonie: this channel is english-speaking
[04:02] <luca> or check for unrar in synaptic
[04:02] <LjL> !il | anonie

[04:02] <tanubis_> iter: everything is internalized on the laptop, I never do anything with video and don't know how to otherwise check what card is on there except to see system specs for this laptop on the website...  looking for information through software now
[04:02] <flavioribeiro> luca, ive already have the unrar
[04:02] <Who_> !tell tanubis_about nvidia
[04:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about  tell tanubis_about nvidia - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:02] <mcrandello> crimsun: I saw something similar listed as a python-central bug and they weren't going to do anything about it till feisty
[04:02] <VigoFusion> tanubis_: Which version Ubuntu?
[04:03] <Who_> !tell tanubis_ about nvidia
[04:03] <tanubis_> breezy
[04:03] <mcrandello> crimsun: so I suppose getting k3d either on or off the system is right out then
[04:03] <crimsun> mcrandello: it's already fixed in feisty
[04:03] <luca> flavioribeiro: it should function with ark or the gnome extractor, I do not know what else to say
[04:03] <iter> tanubis_: you get anything from lspci ?
[04:03] <crimsun> mcrandello: and it's fixable by modifying /var/lib/dpkg/status directly
[04:03] <Who_> tanubis_: good luck, looks like you're in good hands
[04:04] <VigoFusion> tanubis: Your card and its particuliars #s and such should be listed in the Device Manager, I just found mine there.
[04:04] <Novagenesis> can anyone help me resolve this error: Error: unable to load nvidia kernel driver! Be sure to have installed
[04:04] <Novagenesis> the nvidia driver for your running kernel.
[04:04] <GionnyBoss> ok I resolved my problem about mp3, divx... thanks
[04:04] <Novagenesis> I"m following the instructions the bot pointed me to
[04:05] <Phuzion> is there a way to disable the print screen button on my computer so that it doesn't make the save screenshot box pop up every time my finger comes within 9 feet of the button?
[04:05] <GionnyBoss> now another question... my screen resolution is only 1024x768... I used to have 1600x1200 ... how can I resolve this problem? maybe with nvidia drivers? (I have an nvidia graphic card)
[04:05] <malt> anyone here use ddclient with ubuntu>
[04:05] <Phuzion> btw, I'm using Gnome
[04:05] <malt> ?
[04:05] <Pelo> GionnyBoss,  congrats,  now stick around and then next person with a codecs problem is for you to help
[04:05] <tanubis_> iter : nothing useful, just 0000:00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corp. 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)
[04:05] <mcrandello> crimsun: do you know of detailed instructions? I found where it says deinstall ok half-configured
[04:05] <bimberi> ubotu: tell GionnyBoss about fixres | via /msg
[04:05] <crimsun> mcrandello: pastebin just the block for k3d
[04:05] <RadiantFire> GionnyBoss: er, change it via sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:06] <GionnyBoss> Pelo: ok, no problem! I have experience with Fedora Core 5... so now give me some time with Ubuntu and I think that I can manage it good... and I will be glad to help other people
[04:06] <Pelo> :-)
[04:06] <joejaxx> GionnyBoss: anytime :)
[04:06] <GionnyBoss> but... if I remember well... there is only an open source of nvidia driver
[04:06] <Pelo> GionnyBoss,   your problem with resolution might be solved my editing the xorg.conf file to add the 1600 x1200 resolution in the list
[04:06] <mcrandello> crimsun: http://pastebin.ca/255565
[04:07] <GionnyBoss> I'd like to install the full nvidia driver with 3d support
[04:07] <joejaxx> mcrandello: are you getting that python error?
[04:07] <mcrandello> joejaxx: package has no field Python-Version
[04:07] <mcrandello> whenever I apt-get anything
[04:07] <joejaxx> mcrandello: yeah that needs to be fixed
[04:07] <hansin321> GionnyBoss: I just got on, what is your question about the nVidia drivers?  I have been fooling wiht them just now (but am no expert).
[04:07] <joejaxx> mcrandello: k3d was broken in edgy also
[04:07] <hansin321> Does anyone know how to chnage the Window Manager in XFCE to the Beryl Manager? Thanks...
[04:08] <joejaxx> mcrandello: i mean dapper
[04:08] <VigoFusion> GionyBoss: I have yet to figure that one out myself, but it is being worked on, 3 crashes later, expected and prepared for, it may be solved, that is how people helping people get stuff to work.
[04:08] <crimsun> mcrandello: change line 20 to read: Python-Version: current
[04:08] <hansin321> Or just change the manager, I can figure the rest...
[04:08] <Novagenesis> ok, just reinstalled restricted modules for my kernel image (<IP_ADDRESS>) and then reinstalled nvidia-glx and tried to run nvidia-glx-config only to get a "make sure your driver is installed"
[04:08] <mcrandello> crimsun: drop the s at the end of Versions, right?
[04:08] <crimsun> mcrandello: yes
[04:08] <hansin321> ARe you guys trying to get Beryl/AIGLX isntaller.  I know of a really straight forward link for doing it.
[04:08] <Phuzion> is there a way to disable the print screen button on my computer so that it doesn't make the save screenshot box pop up every time my finger comes within 9 feet of the button, I'm using Gnome
[04:08] <GionnyBoss> ubuntu is debian based, right?
[04:08] <Phuzion> Yes
[04:09] <Phuzion> Debian based
[04:09] <GionnyBoss> I remember that a year ago I let nvidia 3d drivers work for Debian... I guess it should be the same thing
[04:09] <Novagenesis> a year ago they worked for ubuntu too, lol
[04:09] <GionnyBoss> but I don't remember exactly how I did it :P lol! my memory
[04:09] <Phuzion> lol
[04:09] <Pelo> hansin321,  just give the link
[04:09] <og_> server irc.milw0rm.com
[04:09] <Novagenesis> I just followed this channel's link, step by step, perfectly, and got errors
[04:09] <mungallo> GionnyBoss: theres a great tutorial on the ubuntu forums on installing the nvidia drivers
[04:10] <h4lfl1ng> anyone know how to get sshd running?
[04:10] <GionnyBoss> mungallo, thanks a lot... I will have a look at that
[04:10] <h4lfl1ng> i have it installed but its not in /etc/init.d/
[04:10] <mcrandello> crimsun: thank you that did it!
[04:10] <bimberi> Phuzion: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts, backspace disables a shortcut
[04:10] <Novagenesis> mungallo: show please? maybe it's not the one that's blowing up in my face?
[04:10] <mungallo> sudo /etc/init.d/sshd start
[04:10] <adept> off topic, but what is a good programming language for working with a fairly large database in a small business?
[04:10] <crimsun> mcrandello: yw
[04:10] <Phuzion> bimberi:  thanks a ton
[04:10] <joejaxx> adept: you want to join #ubuntu-offtopic :D
[04:10] <bimberi> Phuzion: np :)
[04:11] <mcrandello> oooh and k3d actually works right!
[04:11] <h4lfl1ng> sshd isnt in init.d
[04:11] <kitche>   Novagenesis why not just do sudo nvidia-xconfig
[04:11] <joejaxx> adept: we actually have a channel for offtopic talk :)
[04:11] <hansin321> http://wiki.beryl-project.org/index.php/Install/Ubuntu/Edgy/nVIDIA
[04:11] <Novagenesis> kitche oh hey...didn't know that could work,
[04:11] <Novagenesis> ....but I still can't modprobe nvidia
[04:11] <Novagenesis> so i think it'll blow up when i Ctrl-alt-backspace
[04:11] <rhiadon> any good place for help with v4l-dvb on ubuntu?
[04:11] <mungallo> Novagenesis: which release are you running?
[04:12] <GionnyBoss> I think that ubuntu will be my favourite distro... I liked debian but it was very hard to have an updated system... and then I switched to Fedora... but now I'm trying Ubuntu and it looks like a Debian with updated packages and simple to use! very good... and you guys here are great! you help people very well :)
[04:12] <Novagenesis> Edgy
[04:12] <joejaxx> GionnyBoss: :)
[04:12] <mcrandello> crimsun, joejaxx: I'll go ahead and post the fix to the forums there for the other dude and the googlers
[04:12] <Novagenesis> I loved dapper on my old system....it installed in practically one click and everything worked perfectly
[04:12] <h4lfl1ng> sudo: /etc/init.d/sshd: command not found
[04:12] <mungallo> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=57368
[04:12] <Novagenesis> well, brb, gonna ctrl-alt-esc..hope i don't come back with "this didn't work"
[04:12] <crimsun> mcrandello: it's not a fix, it's a workaround for the python-central issue that's fixed in feisty.
[04:13] <crimsun> mcrandello: please make that explicit.
[04:13] <VigoFusion> GionyBoss: maybe the http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ might help? (it helped me install some widget) but read the stuff becuase some deb .*** do not work in Ubuntu, most do, I guess, but its allways good to check with someone that has used Linux for more than 1 month<me>
[04:13] <joejaxx> crimsun: oh they fixed that? great :)
[04:13] <Fracture> anyone here use evolution ?
[04:13] <crimsun> joejaxx: yes, some time ago, only merged recently
[04:13] <joejaxx> crimsun: ahh no wonder
[04:13] <mungallo> h4
[04:13] <Abraxa1> okok..it's all good...
[04:13] <mcrandello> crimsun: the issue is that it chokes when it sees a plural "versions"?
[04:13] <mungallo> dpkg -i | grep openssh-server
[04:13] <joejaxx> Fracture: no :( i use thunderbird and sylpheed-claws
[04:13] <tanubis_> !xserver
[04:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xserver - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:14] <crimsun> mcrandello: that's the symptom but not the real bug
[04:14] <mungallo> whats the output of that?
[04:14] <rhiadon> more specifically help with the Kworld ATSC-110 video capture card
[04:14] <tanubis_> anyone know how to reconfigure what resolutions are supported by xserver?
[04:14] <joejaxx> tanubis_: sudo pkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:14] <mungallo> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:14] <joejaxx> tanubis_: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:14] <crimsun> mcrandello: the real bug was the runtime/(de)install mismatch
[04:15] <Abraxa1> woohoo! accel working and partly tested...glxgears didn't seem as fast as i liked but they may've put a speedlimit up
[04:15] <joejaxx> adept: nice
[04:15] <joejaxx> Abraxa1: nice
[04:16] <Abraxa1> hmm
[04:16] <Pelo> tanubis_,   edit the xorg.conf file and add the resolutions you need manualy,  you might have to edit the refresh rate to
[04:16] <Abraxa1> ok phew..thought it nickswapped me
[04:16] <joejaxx> Abraxa1: atleast the gears are turning :)
[04:16] <Jupiter> how can i access snort? i have it installed. is it a gui app or do i have to run it in terminal
[04:16] <Abraxa1> maybe it did
[04:16] <h4lfl1ng> mungallo: gives the documentation for dpkg
[04:16] <projkt4> i think i figgured it out
[04:16] <rhiadon> anybody with good amounts of mythtv experience using ubuntu?
[04:16] <projkt4> now i'm having problems mounting the windows share
[04:16] <Kingsqueak> Jupiter: it runs in the background and logs to a file
[04:16] <Abraxa1> no, but I'm actually trying to price a mythbox for the near future in my life
[04:17] <Abraxa1> ok, my next apt-get is xchat... gaim is not meant for irc
[04:17] <projkt4> smbfs: mount_data version<PHONE_NUMBER> is not supported
[04:17] <Pelo> projkt4,  ntfs ??   check synaptic for nfts-3g
[04:17] <VigoFusion> The Future is Now
[04:17] <boardom> any idea what would cause a system to drift 20 minutes over the course of a day?
[04:17] <mcrandello> crimsun: I'm not sure I completely understand but I'll make sure that it gets listed as something that will be fixed in Feisty's python-central
[04:17] <Jupiter> kingsqueak a default file?
[04:17] <mungallo> sorry, the arg is -l     dpkg -l | grep ssh
[04:17] <boardom> Abraxa1: screen + irssi is meant for irc
[04:17] <Kingsqueak> Jupiter: you configure it
[04:17] <rhiadon> I've got all the parts I need. I'm just apparently not smart enough to get them working together
[04:17] <Abraxa1> brb, xchat
[04:17] <dope> when i click "Places" in the top bar and select a FTP resource it opens it in firefox instead f nautilus.  how do i fix that?
[04:17] <projkt4> mount -t smbfs -o username=sanitized,password=sanitized //<IP_ADDRESS>/downloads /windows-share/i
[04:17] <Abraxas_> u
[04:17] <joejaxx> boardom: yeah ssh + screen + irssi is great especiall being in ubuntu channels
[04:17] <crimsun> mcrandello: not "will be fixed". "is fixed".
[04:18] <projkt4> gets me this in dmesg
[04:18] <Abraxas_> there
[04:18] <Kingsqueak> Jupiter: for reporting/searching on the data, take a look at 'acid'
[04:18] <Abraxas_> finally off that stupid Gaim for chatting
[04:18] <Pelo> dope,  look it up in the forum
[04:18] <Jupiter> from the terminal? or do i access it from the browser, mysql or?
[04:18] <boardom> joejaxx: i'd die without it
[04:18] <projkt4> smbfs: mount_data version<PHONE_NUMBER> is not supported
[04:18] <Kingsqueak> Jupiter: to configure it, you edit a file and restart it
[04:18] <boardom> Seriously though... any idea what would cause system time to slide 20 minutes over a day
[04:18] <boardom> ntpd doesn't seem to handle it
[04:18] <mcrandello> crimsun: got it.
[04:18] <h4lfl1ng> mungallo: dpkg -l | grep ssh
[04:18] <h4lfl1ng> ops

Any ideas what could cause the firewall change or the gtk-gnutella change?
[04:18] <mungallo> yep
[04:18] <projkt4> anybody mount windows shares in edgy?
[04:19] <Jupiter> ok thanks, thats my answer, much obliged kingsqueak

[04:20] <mungallo> my inits are under /etc/init.d/ssh
[04:20] <GionnyBoss> ok I followed the guide to install nvidia drivers... now I will reboot... see you later :) I hope it will work :)
[04:20] <GionnyBoss> bye
[04:21] <wolfie> hello
[04:21] <joejaxx> Abraxas_: lol compile it :)
[04:21] <joejaxx> wolfie: hello
[04:21] <h4lfl1ng> mungallo: so would i do 'sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start' ?
[04:21] <Pelo> Abraxas_,  wine not good enough for you ?
[04:21] <mungallo> yes
[04:21] <wolfie> can anyone help with ubuntu on a AMD64?
[04:21] <h4lfl1ng> okay it worked
[04:21] <Abraxas_> Eh...I have had issues running some of my games in wine in the past...i already purchased a license for cedega for at least 3 months hence
[04:21] <mungallo> probably wolfie
[04:21] <joejaxx> wolfie: what do you need help with
[04:21] <wolfie> cool
[04:21] <Abraxas_> and cracking my legit games is just annoying
[04:22] <wolfie> here is the thing
[04:22] <wolfie> ubuntu out of the box gives a generic kernel
[04:22] <h4lfl1ng> mungallo: do you know how to change default pass/username and get the ip its accessable through
[04:22] <wolfie> which was freezing at time
[04:22] <Pelo> wolfie,  that is normal,  that is how it works now
[04:22] <mungallo> Abraxas, you know theres a deb for it right?
[04:22] <wolfie> ah!
[04:22] <britt> if im using a ati video card and xfce, how can i get xgl to work?
[04:23] <britt> and will xgl work with mythtv?
[04:23] <Abraxas_> mungallo: yeah....it also freezes whenever i try to update remotely, so i'm downloading the parts
[04:23] <mungallo> yes, you change whatever the username and password you're logging in to.
[04:23] <Pelo> wolfie,  there is an explanation somewhere about the generic kernel vs other type,  you can probably look it up in the forum
[04:23] <wolfie> it does not provide support for my ATI Mobility Radeon X600 video card
[04:23] <joejaxx> Phuzion: he is talking about the freezing
[04:23] <Pelo> wolfie,  I suggest you also look that up in the forum
[04:23] <dabaR> Hi. I am having trouble with gtk-gnutella since that. The little icon in the top right says I am UDP and TCP firewalled. (It did not use to say that, and I have not changed firewall settings afaik) I can not get downloads. I tried removing ~/.gtk-gnutella, purging and reinstalling the package. Any other ideas?
[04:23] <wolfie> and the broadcom wireles stuff is a nighmare to try to make it work
[04:23] <Pelo> dabaR,  try doing a reinstall from syanptic
[04:24] <dabaR> Pelo: I did apt-get remove --purge, and install, do you think it could make a difference?
[04:24] <Abraxas_> actually..seems anything that has any remote contact with transgaming freezes my cedega up :-\
[04:24] <VigoFusion> britt: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=273934 look around that area, the Forums are great.
[04:24] <wolfie> I did looked it up...
[04:24] <mungallo> Unix(linux, bsd, etc) is a multiuser OS. Anything you want to do remotely(through SSH) is the same as doing it while youre sitting at your terminal.
[04:24] <mungallo> login will be your username
[04:24] <wolfie> not much help for 64-bit stuff, thougfh
[04:24] <Abraxas_> course, that's not this channel's problem
[04:24] <mungallo> password will be your password
[04:25] <wolfie> also, the sound works randomly on reboot
[04:25] <Pelo> dabaR,  probably not,  you could try deleting /home/user/.gtk-gnutella  , should reset to default
[04:25] <wolfie> I even try re-compiling the kernel, same problems
[04:25] <GionnyBoss> wow! nvidia driver seems to work :) it was very quick to set it up with ubuntu :)
[04:25] <gunfus> can someone help demistify  the differences between crontab and the /etc/cron.daily directory?
[04:25] <mungallo> IP will be resolved by dns or if you're on a lan, ifconfig -a
[04:25] <dabaR> Pelo: tried that as well.
[04:25] <Pelo> dabaR,  I am out of idea
[04:25] <dabaR> Pelo: thank you.
[04:26] <GionnyBoss> how can I change my screen resolution to 1600x1200? someone told me before, but I don't remember exactly... can you repeat it please? dpkg-reconfigure .... ?
[04:26] <VigoFusion> Login Name is MyName, Password is God. I thought everyone did it that way. :)

[04:27] <mungallo> crontab updates cron
[04:27] <GionnyBoss> way
[04:27] <snype> look up
[04:27] <GionnyBoss> I'm italian.. I don't know what snype mean :P
[04:27] <Abraxas_> alright..guess now's a good time to populate with linux games...any key suggestions?
[04:27] <snype> GionnyBoss type "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[04:28] <Pelo> GionnyBoss,  snype is a user
[04:28] <mungallo> cron.daily is where you locate scripts that you want to run once a day.
[04:28] <GionnyBoss> ahahah sorry snype :P
[04:28] <dabaR> GionnyBoss: :)
[04:28] <snype> no prob home dawg
[04:28] <gunfus> mungallo: and cronttab?
[04:28] <Novagenesis> bleh..sorry the name keeps hopping...i'm having minor issues tryna figure out what was what from gaim
[04:28] <GionnyBoss> you know...  Why do the ubuntu docs require SSL?
[04:30] <Pelo> GionnyBoss, read down a bit you'll see a bunch of screen rez,  jsut add your own
[04:30] <snype> look for the modlines and add 1600x1200
[04:30] <GionnyBoss> Pelo, ok thanks
[04:30] <mungallo> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron
[04:30] <gunfus> mungallo: I tired that
[04:30] <dabaR> Pahalial: well, a possible reason would be to have confidence it is really the official docs.
[04:30] <Pahalial> I... see..
[04:30] <gunfus> mungallo: but it doesn't talk about cron.hourly
[04:31] <mungallo> its all set up the same way.
[04:31] <VigoFusion> snype: I can just alter those in the Dev Manager? or I need to do in Terminal?
[04:31] <dabaR> Pahalial: most of us here are not official with ubuntu, so that is not an official reason, but it sounds like a possible answer.
[04:31] <snype> the modlines?
[04:31] <VigoFusion> Yes
[04:31] <snype> terminal
[04:31] <VigoFusion> Thank you
[04:31] <snype> type: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:31] <Pahalial> fair enough
[04:32] <snype> and it;ll bring up the text editor and allow you to change the modlines
[04:32] <mungallo> gunfus are you trying to run a job once an hour? or once a day?
[04:32] <GionnyBoss> Pelo, I did it but it doesn't work... should I restart my computer?
[04:32] <Pelo> GionnyBoss,  you also might have to adjust your horiz sync and vertrez  settings
[04:32] <gunfus> I am trying to run a job every 10 minutes
[04:32] <gunfus> mungalo: I am trying to run a job every 10 minutes
[04:32] <Pelo> GionnyBoss,  yes you'll need to restart the comp
[04:32] <dabaR> GionnyBoss: just restart the x server, run sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart in a terminal
[04:32] <malt> anyone here use dynamic dns client ddclient?
[04:32] <dabaR> Pelo: just the X server.
[04:33] <dabaR> malt: I use ez-ipupdate it works for dyndns if noone can answer your question
[04:33] <snype> or you could just type ctrl+alt+backspace afterwards
[04:33] <malt> I need a dns client that updates by link
[04:33] <GionnyBoss> but how can I change my horiz sync and vert synk? I just know that I used to use 85Hz
[04:33] <mcrandello> the old 3 finger salute got ported to the linux desktop :p
[04:33] <mungallo> never tried that, but 10,20,30,40,50 jobname might work
[04:33] <snype> same config file
[04:33] <Andaluz_LNX> hi all
[04:33] <GionnyBoss> I think that it was more simple to use the dpkg-reconfigure thing :P
[04:34] <gunfus> mungallo: but where do I put that man?
[04:34] <euquita> does anybody here know of an app on how to remove the voice audio from a karaoke vcd?
[04:34] <dabaR> GionnyBoss: may be
[04:34] <gunfus> mungallo: I have the line that I want but I am not sure where to put it
[04:34] <dabaR> malt: I don't know what update by link means
[04:34] <gunfus> mungallo: I tried sudo crontab -e but that create a temp file
[04:34] <Kingsqueak> cron every ten minutes is   0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * *    /path/to/script
[04:34] <GionnyBoss> I remeber I did the dpkg-reconfigure on Debian a year ago, now I try :)
[04:34] <Andaluz_LNX> anyone know how to reinstall grub without having to download the alternate cd?
[04:34] <malt> dabaR by url link
[04:34] <GionnyBoss> hey really guys... sorry if I say this again... but you are great
[04:34] <GionnyBoss> thanks for all your help
[04:35] <joejaxx> Andaluz_LNX: yeah use grub-install
[04:35] <snype> Andaluz_LNX you can do it just using grub install
[04:35] <snype> then restarting
[04:35] <Novagenesis> wee, tremulous just blew up
[04:35] <snype> grub is essentially a program
[04:35] <joejaxx> Novagenesis: haha
[04:35] <gunfus> mungallo: so i am lost in that sence.. i have craeted jobs in cron.daily by just creating a file with the name with the script to execute
[04:35] <dabaR> malt: so you do not want to update your dyndns.org account in other words?
[04:35] <Novagenesis> it lost its cursor when it errored on a file
[04:35] <paradox34690> hey, didn't catch if anyone had a reply for me about my question, I had to restart my gaim... if you had an answer would you mind reposting?
[04:35] <snype> so i gave up on xubuntu after like 30 minutes :-/
[04:35] <bruenig> xubuntu is great
[04:35] <snype> paradox
[04:35] <Kingsqueak> gunfus: as the user that needs to run the cron, run 'crontab -e' that will edit the crontab for that user, then paste the line as I showed it with your path/to/script
[04:35] <VigoFusion> grup can be downloaded at many places, Debian has a good one.
[04:35] <snype> what's ur question
[04:35] <joejaxx> snype: why?
[04:35] <mcrandello> one last stupid q, are there any good 2d "versus fighter" games packaged for ubuntu?
[04:36] <VigoFusion> *grub
[04:36] <snype> i actually ditched it because i hated not having a wifi monitor haha
[04:36] <bruenig> all the functionality of gnome without the resource hog
[04:36] <Kingsqueak> gunfus: as soon as you close that edit session , it is active
[04:36] <bimberi> Andaluz_LNX: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows includes a method using Desktop/Live CD
[04:36] <joejaxx> snype: :(
[04:36] <snype> such a newb reason- but it was serious enough
[04:36] <mungallo> put a script in cron.hourly and run crontab
[04:36] <joejaxx> snype: yeah
[04:36] <paradox34690> oh, well, mind if I pm you? it's rather long snype...
[04:36] <snype> yeha
[04:36] <snype> thats cool
[04:36] <malt> dabaR: i don't use a free domain, i use boxz.us and dyndns charges a year for custom domains
[04:36] <paradox34690> okay
[04:37] <snype> my comp's fast enough to run gnome so it was no big deal
[04:37] <dabaR> malt: OK, thank you for the explanation.
[04:37] <joejaxx> snype: ah ok :)
[04:37] <felixjet> when i restart pc, gnome dont restore my session and i need to open again all programs manually. how can i fix it?
[04:37] <gunfus> Kingsqueak: let me try that
[04:37] <Skwid_> is there a linux equivalent to http://www.hogbaysoftware.com/product/writeroom ???? (no emacs or vim tweaking please)
[04:38] <joejaxx> Skwid_: not that i know of
[04:38] <snype> joejaxx u on xubuntu?
[04:38] <gunfus> Kingsqueak: when i am saving the file it asks me for a filename to write and it shows /tmp/crontab.ax84314/cronttab
[04:38] <Skwid_> :(
[04:38] <gunfus> Kingsqueak: is that correct
[04:38] <mungallo> gedit
[04:38] <joejaxx> Skwid_: no i am on  fluxbuntu
[04:38] <mungallo> or kate
[04:38] <Novagenesis> Skwid_:  looks to me like nano in a fulllscreen
[04:38] <mcrandello> Skwid_: I assume ed tweaking is right out then :)
[04:38] <jariep1__> hi all
[04:39] <joejaxx> Skwid_: you could go to Console #2 and open nano :D
[04:39] <snype> Skwid_ what about just using nano?
[04:39] <snype> exactly what i was thinking!
[04:39] <Skwid_> hum ... ok
[04:39] <snype> joejaxx u beat me
[04:39] <joejaxx> snype: haha :D
[04:39] <Kingsqueak> gunfus: yup, just save it as is
[04:39] <Novagenesis> and i beatcha both :)
[04:39] <bruenig> felixjet, gnome doesn't save sessions. You ought to put the programs you want to start at start up in system>preferences>sessions>startup commands
[04:39] <snype> great minds think a like
[04:39] <gunfus> done
[04:39] <snype> haha its cool
[04:39] <gunfus> Kingsqueak: done..
[04:39] <joejaxx> Skwid_: it might sound weird but it works
[04:39] <kalila> so I installed mysql-server
[04:39] <kalila> how to run the thing
[04:39] <gunfus> Kingsqueak: anyway to confirm that is actually occuring?
[04:39] <dabaR> felixjet: http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man1/gnome-session-save.1.html may help
[04:39] <Kingsqueak> gunfus: as that user type 'crontab -l'  that will show you that the file is there as written
[04:39] <kalila> is there no "services" interface for linux?
[04:39] <kalila> ubuntu
[04:39] <felixjet> ty bruenig, i didnt know :p
[04:40] <joejaxx> kalila: yes ther eis
[04:40] <snype> kalila bootup manager
[04:40] <Kingsqueak> gunfus: also if your script has output, cront will mail that to you
[04:40] <gunfus> Kingsqueak: I see that.. now
[04:40] <joejaxx> kalila: System >> Admin >> Services
[04:40] <snype> i forget what its called but its in the automatix2 setup
[04:40] <snype> or that--
[04:40] <gunfus> Kingsqueak: I am sending the output to ./dev/null
[04:40] <gunfus> Kingsqueak: I guess I could remove that and see if ti works
[04:40] <Kingsqueak> gunfus: ah o.k. so you did   > /dev/null 2>&1
[04:40] <Kingsqueak> gunfus: right
[04:40] <paradox34690> okay, I'm new to linux, I'm trying to find a good universal player for Linux, I was recommended VLC. I just installed it, and I'm having an error message while trying to open a web link..
[04:40] <snype> im so happy! i got a free IBM thinkpad t42 a few days ago
[04:40] <felixjet> dabaR:  :))))
[04:40] <Skwid_> joejaxx: not quite what i'd like .. but sure it works
[04:40] <paradox34690> the message is saying something about Totem having an issue of opening the .ASF file.... is there a way to set file associations like in windows?
[04:41] <Kingsqueak> gunfus: basically if you run the script as that user manually and it works, it will work via cron
[04:41] <tonyyarusso> snype: How?
[04:41] <gunfus> Kingsqueak: Well iu really didn't want to leave teh job running all night and recive TONS of email tomorrow
[04:41] <sky123> kalila: there is.. but the easiest way is to sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start
[04:41] <Kingsqueak> gunfus: heheh
[04:41] <gunfus> Kingsqueak: heheh
[04:41] <joejaxx> snype: that is what i am on now
[04:41] <kalila> sky123: that assumes that I'm gonna do that on every start
[04:41] <snype> nice me too
[04:41] <snype> i actually have two t42's now
[04:41] <joejaxx> snype: i whould recommend a thinkpad to anyone wanting a laptop that just works out the box
[04:41] <snype> the best machine
[04:41] <joejaxx> snype: with Ubuntu that is
[04:41] <gunfus> Kingsqueak: ohh by the way.. I hjust did a >/dev/null
[04:41] <bruenig> paradox34690, the common *nix philosophy is that each piece of software ought to do one thing good. So generally you can get a good music player or a good video player but not both. The video players will play music but that is not there may purpose.
[04:41] <mungallo> paradox that sounds like a codec issue
[04:41] <sky123> kalila: well you wont have to....I believe it starts once you install it because it is in rc.d
[04:42] <Kingsqueak> gunfus: another utility that a lot of people don't know about is 'at' , it's like cron, scheduled run but only for running something once at a scheduled time
[04:42] <dabaR> felixjet: or even... gconf-editor>apps>gnome-session>options>auto-save-session
[04:42] <snype> thinkpads are hands down the best laptops
[04:42] <bruenig> main purpose*
[04:42] <britt> can anybody recommend a nice wireless keybd/mouse
[04:42] <gunfus> Kingsqueak: hmm
[04:42] <Kingsqueak> gunfus: proper way is   /path/to/script > /dev/null 2>&1    that captures both stdout and stderr
[04:42] <snype> well through  a long list of events someone gave me an hp laptop-- piece of junk and then someone i know had a t42 and wanted a bigger screen so they just traded me
[04:42] <sky123> kalila: Id highly suggest you change the default mysql password as well as it is NOT set
[04:42] <mad> hey everybody
[04:42] <gunfus> okay
[04:42] <snype> and since i already had a t42, now i have twins
[04:42] <kalila> sky123: was just about to ask about default pw..
[04:42] <dabaR> felixjet: I read that gnome does not save sessions by default on planet.gnome.org on someone's blog, so I figured there has to be an option.
[04:43] <bruenig> paradox34690, to set file defaults, right click on the file>properties>open with, that will change the default open with application for all files with that filetype
[04:43] <sky123> kalila: http://www.netadmintools.com/art90.html
[04:43] <mad> can anybody tell me what is the best session for the beryl!??
[04:43] <Novagenesis> !codecs

[04:43] <joejaxx> britt: mad best session?
[04:43] <snype> britt- logitech keyvboard M$ mouse
[04:43] <Novagenesis> well that was a painlses question
[04:43] <britt> cool
[04:43] <bruenig> mad, #ubuntu-xgl
[04:43] <Skwid_> do you guys have any tips to make the web fonts better on ubuntu ?
[04:43] <britt> i have a labtec i got for free
[04:43] <Skwid_> some sites look horrible :(
[04:43] <Kingsqueak> gunfus: fwiw '2' is stderr the '>' can be read as send into and '1' is stdout so stderr is sort of folded into stdout and both then wind up in /dev/null
[04:43] <britt> it sucks
[04:44] <bruenig> Skwid_, sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
[04:44] <gunfus> right
[04:44] <joejaxx> Skwid_: yeah the fonts look all scraggly?
[04:44] <Kingsqueak> k
[04:44] <gunfus> Kingsqueak: Coolio
[04:44] <gunfus> Kingsqueak: thanks for that
[04:44] <Kingsqueak> no problem
[04:44] <bruenig> Skwid_, it is in multiverse so make sure you have that enabled
[04:44] <yokobr> pleasee
[04:44] <dabaR> Hi. I am having trouble with gtk-gnutella. The little icon in the top right says I am UDP and TCP firewalled. (It did not use to say that, and I have not changed firewall settings afaik) I can not get downloads. I tried removing ~/.gtk-gnutella, purging and reinstalling the package. Any other ideas?
[04:44] <gunfus> Kingsqueak: well i figure that I will just wait until 10:50 and see if I get the email
[04:44] <yokobr> i need to unrar something
[04:44] <yokobr> ive installed it but i dont know how to use
[04:45] <yokobr> unrar?
[04:45] <Skwid_> joejaxx: yeah .. the letters are almost on top of one another
[04:45] <joejaxx> Skwid_: yes i know what you mean
[04:45] <snype> joejaxx u use ubuntu or xubuntu?
[04:45] <gunfus> Kingsqueak: So explain me then what is the cron.hourly  for?
[04:45] <dabaR> yokobr: what exact package did you install?
[04:45] <Skwid_> bruenig: msttcorefonts is already the newest version.
[04:45] <bruenig> I believe he said fluxbuntu
[04:45] <gunfus> Kingsqueak: If youd on't mind
[04:45] <GionnyBoss> ok now I have the right screen resolution :) thanks guys
[04:45] <yokobr> unrar non-free
[04:45] <joejaxx> Skwid_: they are quite ugly, that package should fix that
[04:45] <snype> mybad
[04:45] <Skwid_> joejaxx: i already have the package :(
[04:45] <GionnyBoss> sorry if I keep asking... what about flash plugin for firefox?
[04:45] <joejaxx> Skwid_: really?
[04:45] <joejaxx> GionnyBoss: flashplugin-nonfree
[04:46] <snype> GionnyBoss just go get automatix2
[04:46] <joejaxx> snype: noo :(
[04:46] <bruenig> !automatix
[04:46] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use.
[04:46] <yokobr> yrap, ive got it installed
[04:46] <snype> joejaxx why not?
[04:46] <kd7swh> metacity isn't starting at login and adding it to start-up list isn't working - any thoughts
[04:46] <Kingsqueak> gunfus: those files are for system based scripts generally that do maintenance, they do what they say basically, that one would run whatever on an hourly basis via the system cron schedule
[04:46] <Skwid_> joejaxx: yah
[04:46] <VigoFusion> Wait, I missed the fix for Setting Screen like it was in winders?
[04:46] <yokobr> but i dunno how to unrar it
[04:46] <GionnyBoss> lol
[04:46] <joejaxx> snype: automatix breaks systems literally
[04:46] <Kingsqueak> gunfus: what you just edited was a per-user cron
[04:46] <bruenig> Skwid_, people have different preferences I guess. Maybe try going into edit>preferences in firefox and messing around with the font settings
[04:46] <yokobr> the file that i need to unrar
[04:46] <snype> hah its fine on mine
[04:46] <snype> lol
[04:46] <VigoFusion> :-/
[04:46] <GionnyBoss> lol snype
[04:46] <joejaxx> snype: yeah it might be presently
[04:47] <Kingsqueak> gunfus: if you do 'apropos cron' you will see all the man pages for the different cron entries
[04:47] <snype> im doing a fresh install on my new one right now and was just about to go get it so thanks for the heads up
[04:47] <dabaR> yokobr: what version of Ubuntu do you use?
[04:47] <joejaxx> snype: but wait until you try to update or upgrade to a new release
[04:47] <gunfus> Kingsqueak: Ahhh! okay.. so one is the table for the users specific cron jobs (as long as they are allowed) and the other is system cron jobs
[04:47] <yokobr> 6.06
[04:47] <bruenig> http://getautomatix.com/wiki/index.php?title=FAQ&Itemid=35#Is_Automatix2_safe_.3F_Folks_in_.23ubuntu_on_IRC_keep_telling_me_it_isn.27t
[04:47] <yokobr> dapper
[04:47] <joejaxx> snype: ah ok :D
[04:47] <gunfus> Kingsqueak:
[04:47] <snype> i will never upgrade
[04:47] <gunfus> Kingsqueak: Cool
[04:47] <dabaR> yokobr: are you sure the package name was unrar-nonfree?
[04:47] <snype> always fesh install
[04:47] <joejaxx> bruenig: yeah that is all incorrect
[04:47] <joejaxx> lol
[04:47] <yokobr> yeap
[04:47] <Kingsqueak> gunfus: as in  man 1 crontab ; man 5 crontab ; man 8 cron  etc.
[04:47] <yokobr> absolutely sure
[04:47] <dabaR> yokobr: cause ubotu says there is only:
[04:48] <dabaR> !find unrar dapper
[04:48] <ubotu> Found: unrar-free, unrar
[04:48] <joejaxx> snype: well they also use scripts and do not package things right
[04:48] <kd7swh> metacity isn't starting at login and adding it to start-up list isn't working - any thoughts
[04:48] <Kingsqueak> gunfus: man 5 crontab should explain the files
[04:48] <OMGYAY> !find grandma
[04:48] <yokobr> got it babe!
[04:48] <gunfus> Kingsqueak: COOlio!
[04:48] <bruenig> I know but it is fun. The argument I don't think is incorrect. It seems to say, we have so many people do it, that those who do have problems represent the minority, therefore it doesn't matter.
[04:48] <ubotu> Package/file grandma does not exist in edgy
[04:48] <yokobr> Ive made it
[04:48] <dabaR> yokobr: good work.
[04:48] <yokobr> thanx for the atention =)
[04:48] <OMGYAY> anyone know how to make YTMND pages work in Firefox?
[04:48] <snype> joejaxx-- if u say its bad i trust u, im installing manually------ apt-get isnt really manually tho is it lol
[04:48] <dabaR> yokobr: yup
[04:48] <gunfus> Kingsqueak: Thanks for that info.. 2 more minutes 2 go and I will hopefully get an email
[04:49] <joejaxx> snype: lol
[04:49] <GionnyBoss> should I add another repo? looks like I can found everything without adding new repos... this is cool! but in other linux distros you should add repos to do find everything you need
[04:49] <dabaR> GionnyBoss: add repos only when you need something from them
[04:49] <joejaxx> GionnyBoss: i whould just stick to the ubuntu repositories :)
[04:49] <Pelo> great my gui is frozen , any ideas ? I can't get to the menues and the taskbars donT' work , the opened apps seems to be doing ok tho
[04:49] <joejaxx> GionnyBoss: yes follow what dabaR said :)
[04:50] <GionnyBoss> ok thanks
[04:50] <snype> pelo--- power.cord.
[04:50] <joejaxx> GionnyBoss: you are most welcome
[04:50] <snype> lol
[04:50] <bruenig> GionnyBoss, add the multiverse and universe repos and that tends to be all you need. The few packages that you might want out of it can be found in deb version anyways, so I would generally say to not worry about it
[04:50] <GionnyBoss> it's just weird! I mean... it's too good :) I didn't expect to find everything in default repos
[04:50] <joejaxx> Pelo: Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
[04:50] <DarkMageZ> Pelo, do the desktop icons work ok?
[04:50] <dabaR> Pelo: you mean the gnome-panel is not working? run killall gnome-panel in a terminal
[04:50] <joejaxx> Pelo: restart x
[04:50] <Pelo> dark,  yes
[04:50] <GionnyBoss> what a cool distribution is ubuntu ;)
[04:50] <snype> yep
[04:50] <nivekz> hello, i missed the default system font very much, could any one told me what is the name of the default font?

[04:52] <joejaxx> UbuntuConfused: ?
[04:52] <Kingsqueak> gunfus: I forgot about this too, there's a shortcut for writing every 10 mins    */10 * * * *  /path/to/script
[04:52] <protolnx> is it possible to play eternal lands as singleplayer?
[04:52] <joejaxx> UbuntuConfused: need help?
[04:52] <UbuntuConfused> Hi all. Not sure this is even possible, but what the heck....
[04:52] <gunfus> Kingsqueak: that is good to know
[04:52] <bruenig> !hi | UbuntuConfused
[04:52] <ubotu> UbuntuConfused: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[04:52] <GionnyBoss> and what about mplayer? I saw I can install it and I can install mozilla plugin too... but... what about mplayer codecs?
[04:52] <gunfus> Kingsqueak: I defined it every 10 20 30.. etc..
[04:52] <gunfus> Kingsqueak: that is much faster
[04:52] <Kingsqueak> gunfus: that's the old 'safe' way
[04:52] <pyro> *yawnz*
[04:53] <rad|x> hi, when you enter a password, it says "it's a dictionary word, bad password etc" does anyone know where is the file that it's using for comparison?
[04:53] <UbuntuConfused> I've got a mythbox, sitting in a cupboard, doing front end to tv.  I'm currnetly connecting to it for admin via xdmcp....
[04:53] <pyro> my wmv files dont play sound :(
[04:53] <Kingsqueak> gunfus: other *nix systems don't understand the  */10 * * * *
[04:53] <gunfus> Kingsqueak: I like the oldsafe way because it is easier to understand although the new one is faster
[04:53] <dabaR> pyro: do you have w32codecs installed?
[04:53] <joejaxx> pyro: you probably need w32codecs
[04:54] <Kingsqueak> gunfus: you put commas in right?  10,20,30 * * * *
[04:54] <UbuntuConfused> This is working fine. I can login from my other ubuntu box on my network and admin it etc....BUT...the 'desktop' box has a dual-output nvidia (using binary drivers)....
[04:54] <bruenig> !quikctime | pyro

[04:54] <gunfus> Kingsqueak: yepo
[04:54] <Kingsqueak> gunfus: cool
[04:54] <rad|x> where's the dictionary file on linux?
[04:54] <snype> can i just install the debian version of swiftfox?
[04:54] <rad|x> or on ubuntu
[04:54] <bruenig> snype, they have a deb on the swiftfox website. you can use that
[04:54] <snype> thanks!
[04:54] <joejaxx> snype: swiftfox? they should have a deb on the site
[04:54] <UbuntuConfused> What I would ideally like [question here::]  - Can I have 2 _separate_ logins : remote xdmcp on display 1,  local ubuntu user on display 2
[04:55] <VigoFusion> Knoppix gave it a good shot, I gotta admit, that one was GUI happy, but this Ubuntu will make any Migration from the most sold and most used OS an experience to be relished. I have shown my desktop to 5 people, they are all on Ubuntu now, and 1/2 have diestroyed the other they were Users of.
[04:55] <bruenig> snype, or you can be really cool and just use the precompiled directory. Extract it put it in /opt and move from there
[04:55] <GionnyBoss> mplayer mozilla plugin seems not to work... maybe should I add mplayer codecs? can anybody help me please?
[04:55] <MrRio> rad|x: /usr/share/dict/american-english
[04:55] <dabaR> rad|x: it looks like /etc/dict<tab><tab>, but aptitude search dict will let you install an actual dictionary, my edgy install does not even have the dict command installed

[04:55] <Drace> Hi. Real quick one I think. I am looking for the correct way to restart a process via the kill command in Ubuntu. Some certain flags, maybe. Tried looking in 'man kill', but it's not all that helpful. Anyone?
[04:55] <rad|x> nod thanks alot
[04:56] <kd7swh> try killall
[04:56] <snype> Drace first do a pidof NAMEOFAPP then kill w/ that id
[04:56] <gunfus> Kingsqueak: so if I want this every hour I can also do the * */1 * * * ?
[04:56] <dabaR> Drace: do you know the pid?
[04:56] <Kingsqueak> gunfus: yup
[04:56] <Drace> dabaR  - yup
[04:56] <hipertracker> I have Ubuntu 6. I cannot find db_load. I need it for vsftpd.
[04:56] <gunfus> Kingsqueak: Great
[04:56] <KnowledgEngi> hello
[04:56] <dabaR> Drace: kill -9 <pid> will most of the time do it
[04:56] <moyote> Do you need to uninstall mozilla-firefox before installing swiftfox??
[04:57] <bruenig> !hi | KnowledgEngi
[04:57] <ubotu> KnowledgEngi: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[04:57] <Drace> Okay. I'll give it a shot.
[04:57] <KnowledgEngi> I have a problem with ubuntu edgy that i has not with ubuntu dapper !!
[04:57] <MrRio> moyote: i don't think you do
[04:57] <bruenig> moyote, no, it is a bad idea in fact to do that
[04:57] <UbuntuConfused> any ideas anyone? :-)
[04:57] <moyote> bruenig, ok, ty
[04:57] <KnowledgEngi> using ubuntu edgy the software rosegarden do not show the note in the score!
[04:57] <Kingsqueak> gunfus: you might find a bunch of these useful btw  http://www.tldp.org/guides.html
[04:57] <hipertracker> I try to find something in google. shit. nothing usefull. without db_load i cannot set database for virtual users of vftpd
[04:58] <bruenig> KnowledgEngi, what?
[04:58] <tritium> hipertracker: please watch the language
[04:58] <Drace> dabaR - That worked. Thanks.  I will add a link to it from my website so I don't forget to stick my nose in an out
[04:59] <VigoFusion> Big Thankies for that link
[04:59] <UbuntuConfused> So, succinctly: With dual-output NVidia card, is it possible to have a different login/xsession on Display 1 and Display 2 ?
[05:00] <GionnyBoss> wow, it's all very easy :) everything works and I spend only a little time to do it :)
[05:01] <KnowledgEngi> bruenig, you now what is a score in music??
[05:01] <KnowledgEngi> do you ..
[05:01] <dabaR> I am getting an error in _gtk-gnutella_ about being firewalled. This is the output of iptables -L http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/33385/ . I am not sure what to do. help:)
[05:01] <Farm_Fresh> My wireless connection keeps getting dropped.  Any ideas?  NetGear
[05:01] <KnowledgEngi> *now=know
[05:01] <bruenig> KnowledgEngi, no, does that have something to do with software rosegarden, or is rosegarden the software you are looking for?
[05:01] <KnowledgEngi> i has install rosegarden
[05:02] <mikeo1> how do i raise the refresh rate available?
[05:02] <KnowledgEngi> but if i write the note in the score
[05:02] <snype> what package does nm-applet belong to
[05:02] <snype> like if i wanted to apt-get it?
[05:02] <VigoFusion> GionnyBoss: I spent like 20 minutes makeing a new ScreenSaver with a Ruby Core, my nephew Comp IT freaked out.
[05:02] <KnowledgEngi> i cannot see this notes

[05:03] <ignacio> alo?
[05:03] <ignacio> hay alguien???

[05:03] <UbuntuConfused> looks liek there's an nvidia forum..I'll try there. thanks :-)

[05:03] <snype> lol i was doing gnome-network-manager
[05:03] <joejaxx> snype: lol
[05:04] <Kingsqueak> snype: there's also 'apt-cache search'
[05:04] <Kingsqueak> snype: 'apt-cache search network-manager'
[05:04] <KnowledgEngi> but i do not think that depent to this software
[05:04] <Lovloss> What do you do if you have an internal drive (20g) in ext2 format that isnt mounted on startup, but you want to be able to copy files to and from it
[05:04] <tritium> snype: just install network-manager-gnome
[05:04] <gop> :(
[05:04] <gop>  George B. Thomas Jr., a mathematician whose widely read calculus textbook has introduced legions of students to the challenges of functions, derivatives and integrals since the early 1950s, died on Oct. 31 in State College, Pa. He was 92. Dr. Thomas's death was confirmed by his family.
[05:04] <tritium> it'll depend on network-manager
[05:04] <KnowledgEngi> becouse this software under dapper did not give me problem
[05:04] <Lovloss> it doesnt mount
[05:04] <dabaR> Lovloss: you add it to /etc/fstab
[05:04] <panterozo> alguien entiende que chucha digo???
[05:04] <britt> im getting a old WYSE terminal sent to me in a couple of days. Is there any way I could get my PC to open a terminal to a com port so the WYSE terminal can connect to it?
[05:04] <Lovloss> ah. how
[05:04] <snype> thanks-- got it

[05:05] <snype> thanks kingsqueak
[05:05] <panterozo> alo???
[05:05] <GionnyBoss> mplayer mozilla plugin doesn't seem to work... I installed codecs and all this stuff... and if I write about:plugins in firefox I can see mplayer plugin... what's the problem? maybe a totem plugin conflict?
[05:05] <snype> joejaxx-- u using fglrx?
[05:05] <feross> panterozo: #ubuntu-es
[05:05] <tritium> panterozo: "alo" no es palabra
[05:05] <Lovloss> dabaR, is there a command?
[05:05] <NigelS> britt: can't you just connect to /dev/ttyXX
[05:05] <Kingsqueak> GionnyBoss: does just 'mplayer' play the same file if you download it?
[05:05] <britt> NigelS: ?
[05:05] <Kingsqueak> GionnyBoss: test that first
[05:05] <britt> the terminal is a dumb terminal
[05:06] <GionnyBoss> ok Kingsqueak, now I test that
[05:06] <britt> it'll be looking for a com port to connect to
[05:06] <britt> there's something i need to open with getty
[05:06] <Novagenesis> weee..nice and comfy in linux again...been months since i've had a stable linux install ;)
[05:06] <blaa> hi all
[05:06] <britt> but i dont remember which file i needed to edit
[05:06] <dabaR> Lovloss: well, that is a file, so you edit it. there is a mount command you could use to get a hang of it. For one, sudo fdisk -l will show you the device node of that particular drive. start with pasting output of that to paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[05:06] <NigelS> britt: but I mean those are your com ports and what not
[05:06] <Novagenesis> if only there wasn't a nasty bug report about WoW dropping accounts using cedega
[05:06] <snype> anyone know a way for me to have something listen to the output of nm-applet and prompt me for an address then have it save that into a file?
[05:06] <VigoFusion> I just open a terminal and cpy/pste that FixVideo into it and done?
[05:06] <blaa> I have a problem with phpMyAdmin
[05:06] <Lovloss> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[05:07] <Lovloss> tlol
[05:07] <KnowledgEngi> i need to rebuild the kernel just modifing the timer frequency in the cpu configuration
[05:07] <britt> NigelS: yes. but opening the com port doesnt do me much good if i dont have a terminal on that port
[05:07] <mborohov> anyone gotten an ipod working with linux?
[05:07] <Kingsqueak> mborohov: gtkpod
[05:07] <mborohov> specifically, with amaroK or banshee?
[05:07] <KnowledgEngi> i need only one modific in the kernel
[05:07] <blaa> I installed it and  I removed it
[05:07] <KnowledgEngi> becouse all the rest work good
[05:07] <GionnyBoss> I can't find the link :S
[05:07] <will__> Hey all
[05:07] <snype> hi
[05:07] <NigelS> Novagenesis: take some of those with a pinch of salt, people have reported being banned for using cedega when it's really nothing of the sort.  one guy was whining about it but really it was because he'd programmed lots of macros
[05:07] <Lovloss> ok i posted it
[05:07] <Lovloss> what now
[05:07] <mborohov> Kingsqueak: what about banshee or amaroK?
[05:08] <feross> mborohov: yeah, works fine with banshee
[05:08] <dabaR> Lovloss: tell me the URL
[05:08] <Lovloss> hdb1 is the one i want
[05:08] <mborohov> doesnt work for me.
[05:08] <Kingsqueak> mborohov: never tried playing off mine, I've only used gtkpod to load it up
[05:08] <Novagenesis> NigelS:  well yeah..but it's on the transgaming news page..apparently there are some cases where it's verified noncheats
[05:08] <blaa> and removed phpmyadmin directory from /var/www
[05:08] <mborohov> it doesnt show up in banshee, sadly
[05:08] <Lovloss> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/33387/
[05:08] <will__> Odd Problem here, I keep getting permission denied while trying to install Hellanzb
[05:08] <feross> mborohov: do you see the icon on the desktop?
[05:08] <will__> I'm the admin, so a bit confused.
[05:08] <dabaR> Lovloss: thanks. now tell me whether /media/hdb1 exists
[05:08] <Novagenesis> that and cedega keeps blowing up in my face for some reason
[05:08] <Lovloss> nope
[05:08] <Lovloss> i can make it exist
[05:08] <mborohov> yeah
[05:09] <mborohov> i do see the icon on the desktop
[05:09] <NigelS> Novagenesis: do you have a link?
[05:09] <dabaR> Lovloss: Ok, create it. Know how to do that?
[05:09] <Lovloss> mkdir
[05:09] <dabaR> Lovloss: ya, sorry, go ahead.
[05:09] <blaa> and installed it agian but i can't see phpmyadmin directory in /var/www
[05:09] <snype> quesiton lets say i go do "sudo apt-get remove firefox" then i get a msg that it no longer needs ubuntu-desktop and it'll get rid of that... will this break my system?
[05:09] <feross> mborohov: do you have the ipod in drive mode or whatever...
[05:09] <panterozo> Join the Team
[05:09] <blaa> how can i solve this problem?
[05:09] <GionnyBoss> it's very late here... I think I will try tomorrow with mplayer plugin... now I go to sleep... thanks for all your help!
[05:09] <mborohov> im not sure what that means
[05:09] <Novagenesis> NigelS: http://www.transgaming.com/subhilites.php but you need membership to see it i think
[05:09] <mborohov> i mean, i can _access_ the ipod
[05:10] <mborohov> but banshee doesnt recognize it
[05:10] <Lovloss> done
[05:10] <feross> mborohov: also, remember to eject the ipod before disconnecting
[05:10] <will__> what is a pgpkey?
[05:10] <Lovloss> whats next
[05:10] <will__> nm
[05:10] <Lovloss> should i just mount?
[05:10] <GionnyBoss> ah... last thing... can anybody suggest me a link to a tutorial on how to install Sun Java JDK with Netbeans? I need it to develop applications
[05:10] <dabaR> Lovloss: now run sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /media/hdb1 and see whether you can see the files on the drive with sudo ls, and with just ls.
[05:10] <tritium> !sunjava
[05:10] <ubotu> 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
[05:10] <VigoFusion> pgp is Pretty Good Privacy, it was a free Encryption tool from MIT,
[05:11] <will__> What owner is "1001"
[05:11] <mikeo1> how come i still cant up the resolution
[05:11] <Novagenesis> The history behind PGP is quite fantastic...saw a documentary on it once
[05:11] <mikeo1> i made the changes in xorg
[05:11] <dabaR> will__: that is likely you.
[05:11] <mikeo1> but in the screen res utility it wont let me choose higher
[05:11] <feross> mborohov: hmm don't know what to tell you, I plugged my friends ipod in the other day and it just worked. didn't have to do anything, the only thing I remember is that he mentioned he put the ipod in drive mode or something like that.
[05:11] <joejaxx> snype: no i am not i am using the open ati drivers with a ATI Radeon 7500
[05:11] <tritium> will__: the first user added to the system, which, as dabaR pointed out, is likely you
[05:11] <Lovloss> I can see the files on it yes
[05:11] <Lovloss> it mounts correctly
[05:11] <will__> Yes, but I cant delete this folder?
[05:12] <dabaR> will__: the first user created, you can find this out by checking your /etc/passwd file.
[05:12] <VigoFusion> MIT no longer has it, PGP was bought by , no cussing here, but you can still get it free for windows, it is an excallent program.
[05:12] <will__> tritium,  well i cant delete the folder
[05:12] <snype> anyone here use ubuntu in cluster? or no anything about clusters? cause i wanna cluster my two thinkpads together if possible
[05:12] <DarkMageZ> anyone know how to change the size of the icons on the desktop?
[05:12] <will__> I installed it, and created 1 user.
[05:12] <will__> me
[05:12] <dabaR> Lovloss: so we can now mount this file with the command, and you would like it to mount when you boot?
[05:12] <tritium> will__: are you using the wrong command?
[05:12] <GionnyBoss> so java from sun is included in repos? incredible :)
[05:12] <Pelo> how do I get changes in xorg.conf to star without restarting the comp ?  I change mouse stuff ,  cmd line please
[05:12] <Lovloss> well first off, how come i have no permissions within the mount?
[05:12] <Lovloss> oh maybe i should chown it
[05:13] <moyote> mikeo1, have u tried a reboot?
[05:13] <dabaR> Lovloss: OK, so you can only see the files with the root?
[05:13] <will__> tritium, : i'm physically clicking on the folder and trying to move it to the trash
[05:13] <Lovloss> i can see them. i just cant edit
[05:13] <mikeo1> why would a reboot affect it
[05:13] <mikeo1> should have to reboot linux unless changing the kernel
[05:13] <mikeo1> shouldnt
[05:13] <feross> Pelo: just press 'ctrl+alt+backspace' and xorg will restart
[05:13] <faranda> hi there...  how to uninstall zope 2.10 source code in ubuntu edgy?
[05:13] <Lovloss> chown doesnt work.
[05:13] <dabaR> Lovloss: we should find the right mount option. so unmount it, then mount with this sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /media/hdb1 -ousers
[05:14] <mikeo1> restarting xorg didnt help at all and it is somehow getting the list of available settnigs from somewhere else
[05:14] <moyote> I've had that problem before, who knows why, but the resolution wouldn't change. Once in a while a reboot fixes it? How did you change the resolution?
[05:14] <will__> the "Examples" folder is locked as well :\
[05:14] <dabaR> faranda: you installed it with make install?
[05:14] <mikeo1> i was using the tools in gnome
[05:14] <Lovloss> ok what did ousers do?
[05:14] <Lovloss> oh! i have permissions
[05:14] <dabaR> Lovloss: well it allows all users to mount it. not sure whether this will help...
[05:14] <moyote> mikeo1, does the resolution you want show up in /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[05:14] <faranda> dabaR: yep....
[05:14] <dabaR> Lovloss: I guess it did:)
[05:15] <mikeo1> yes
[05:15] <mikeo1> but not at the refresh rate
[05:15] <Lovloss> K, now how do i set it to be treated like any other mountable drive?
[05:15] <tritium> will__: Examples is a symlink will full permissions.  You should be able to remove it.
[05:15] <feross> Pelo: haha.. well :)
[05:15] <will__> tritium, I cant. WHere did I make a mistake?

[05:15] <feross> Pelo: I was about to mention it but you were gone by then.
[05:15] <dabaR> faranda: not sure how to uninstall it now, but I would like to recommend checkinstall for the future, which creates a .deb package and installs it, that way you can just use apt to uninstall it afterwards. it is used at the make install step, you just sudo checkinstall instead. you need to insatll checkinsatll first.
[05:16] <moyote> mikeo1, Have you tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[05:16] <tritium> will__: need more info
[05:16] <mikeo1> nope
[05:16] <dabaR> Lovloss: you mean to mount at boot?
[05:16] <will__> Tristan, : I am the only user. I installed ubuntu myself.
[05:16] <Lovloss> ya
[05:16] <will__> yet examples has a lock on it
[05:16] <Lovloss> id love for it to automount in a way where i dont have to mess wih permissions
[05:16] <john> when changing the default port for apache2 is there another file that needs to be modifed as well?
[05:16] <dabaR> Lovloss: well, that is done in the /etc/fstab file, please open it for editing, and paste its contents to the pastebin so I can see what needs to be done

[05:18] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.

[05:20] <sandy16> jeojaxx, no way
[05:20] <dabaR> Lovloss: I have used it many times.
[05:21] <Lovloss> so what do i need to add?
[05:21] <dabaR> Who knows a link or feels like explaining how to find out the UUID of a partition?
[05:21] <joejaxx> sandy16: it does not work?
[05:21] <maurox> dabaR: man fdisk
[05:21] <FFForever> how do i install flash9, the deb didnt work?
[05:21] <will__> dabaR,  nothing
[05:21] <sandy16> jeojaxx, it says that command with user name (given) is not found
[05:22] <Novagenesis> I should sleep
[05:22] <madman91> GNOME::(i asked in #gnome.. but no response) ..  my workspace switcher doesnt show a preview of what is in the workspace.... how can i change that? and where can i find more documentation related to that so i can stop bothering you kind people

[05:23] <blaa> hi ubuntu
[05:23] <will__> dabaR,  "root" is the owner.
[05:23] <feross> FFForever: download the plugin tar.gz, extract it and copy the file to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/
[05:23] <mikeo1> too bad gnome still cant change it
[05:23] <mborohov> yay, upgrade to 6.10 is almost done
[05:23] <will__> why is ROOT different than Will :\
[05:23] <will__> as if ROOT is a user.
[05:24] <moyote> mikeo1, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg.
[05:24] <nn> Where does NSS crypto come from?
[05:24] <Pelo> will is not important enough,  ubu doesnT' deal with underlings
[05:24] <nn> checking for NSS... configure: error: could not find NSS Crypto libraries
[05:24] <moyote> mikeo1, what video card are you using?
[05:24] <dabaR> will__: that is why the drag and drop of the folder icon does not work.
[05:24] <mikeo1> lol onboard gf4 mx
[05:24] <dabaR> will__: it is a user.
[05:24] <FFForever> do i need the xpt?
[05:24] <mikeo1> with 128vram
[05:24] <kitche> nn: from libnss I think is what ubuntu calls it
[05:24] <mikeo1> think it could run beryl?
[05:24] <moyote> hmmmm...
[05:24] <sandy16> jeojaxx, has any idea how ?
[05:25] <moyote> well......
[05:25] <mikeo1> it can run all the opengl screensavers good
[05:25] <Kingsqueak> dabaR: found it
[05:25] <will__> dabaR, : I didnt create it... nor did I create "1001"
[05:25] <mikeo1> and the xmms opengl plugins
[05:25] <will__> How do I loging as 1001 or ROOT.
[05:25] <Kingsqueak> dabaR: blkid /dev/sda1    as an example
[05:25] <mikeo1> and videos and flash player 9
[05:25] <pyro> does anyone know the compression ratio of ogg vs mp3?
[05:25] <Lovloss> dabaR, did you see the paste?
[05:25] <nn> kitche, Negative
[05:25] <dabaR> Lovloss: let us try http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/33391/
[05:25] <pyro> guess it depends on what bitrate...
[05:25] <moyote> mikeo1, well, you can try. ;-)
[05:25] <snype> anyone know of a n64 emulator for linux?
[05:25] <feross> FFForever: no, it's the libflashplugin.so
[05:25] <grndslm> pyro...it just varies
[05:25] <mikeo1> lol i did many times and failed
[05:25] <Lovloss> eep ^_^ thanks
[05:26] <dabaR> Kingsqueak: thank you.
[05:26] <pyro> grndslm: yeah i figured
[05:26] <mikeo1> cant figure out whats up with the aiglx and all that otherstuff
[05:26] <grndslm> pyro, mp3s could be cbr or vbr, while oggs are pretty much all vbr
[05:26] <mikeo1> kept getting some composite errors when i would run beryl
[05:26] <Kingsqueak> dabaR: no problem, was meaning to figger that one out myself and kept forgetting
[05:26] <mikeo1> like glx composite not found or something
[05:26] <joejaxx> sandy16: i do not know in that situation
[05:26] <Lovloss> dabaR, should i coppy whats in the small box so i dont get the line numbers?
[05:26] <pyro> grndslm: I dont know much about the difference of cbr/vbr
[05:26] <dabaR> Lovloss: just copy and paste the last line, it is the only change
[05:27] <dabaR> Lovloss: without line numbers, for sure.
[05:27] <FFForever> ok done
[05:27] <FFForever> i dont have sound
[05:27] <FFForever> when i go to youtube and play the random vid :-\
[05:27] <grndslm> constant bit rate versus variable bit rate....vbr is always better....saves space when necessary, and doesn't slack on the quality parts of the music!
[05:27] <nn> kitche, Attempting to build CoolKey so that i can use my CAC card in linux ;)
[05:27] <pyro> grndslm: ah yes, i recall that now
[05:28] <Lovloss> dabaR, will this automatically show up on my desktop or will i have to hunt it down under media
[05:28] <dabaR> will__: 1001 is how the computer knows about will, computers care little for names, more for numbers. where did you see the 1001 anyhow? to remove root's files and directories, use the sudo command.
[05:28] <pyro> im thinking ill convert my entire mp3 collection to ogg
[05:28] <dabaR> !sudo| will__
[05:28] <ubotu> will__: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[05:28] <nn> kitche, seems the answer is mozilla-nss sources and hacking the configure.in to look for mozilla-nss instead of nss :)
[05:28] <InkChild> hello?
[05:28] <dabaR> Lovloss: we will see
[05:28] <feross> FFForever: ohh, that was supposed to be fixed with this latest version
[05:28] <Lovloss> okay, well thanks!
[05:28] <kitche> nn: yeah that could be it I just know that a couple of distros just call it nss :)
[05:28] <Lovloss> im going to reboot.
[05:28] <dabaR> Lovloss: no
[05:29] <InkChild> hi hello?
[05:29] <dabaR> InkChild: hi
[05:29] <Lovloss> no?
[05:29] <dex`> sup
[05:29] <will__> ah ok
[05:29] <FFForever> ..., its not....
[05:29] <Lovloss> i cant anyway, it wont let me save that file!
[05:29] <dabaR> Lovloss: save, close the file, unmount the partition then run sudo mount -a
[05:29] <stalefries> !hi | InkChild
[05:29] <ubotu> InkChild: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[05:29] <InkChild> Hello, sorry,
[05:29] <FFForever> how can i fix the sound?
[05:29] <will__> dabaR,  that worked.
[05:29] <dabaR> Lovloss: edit it with sudo
[05:29] <dex`> good
[05:29] <pyro> ok bbs :)
[05:29] <Lovloss> how come i cant save the file
[05:29] <dabaR> will__: good
[05:29] <will__> dabaR, : so it will always look LOCKED in the gui?
[05:29] <InkChild> may i ask for help with some task
[05:29] <dabaR> FFForever: explain about the issue
[05:29] <dabaR> !helpme
[05:29] <InkChild> merging video files?
[05:29] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:29] <stfn> do Bug Buddy reports appear anywhere public?  after submitting a report, Bug Buddy "encountered and error while submitting..." specifically "The component specified doesn't exist or has been renamed.  Please upgrade to the latest version."  but the "component" is Gnumeric (in main) and the version is 1.7.0 (in edgy)
[05:29] <sky123> In ubuntu what is the equivalent for ctime? ie command to find creation time of a file??
[05:30] <InkChild> sky123 date isn't it?
[05:30] <nn> kitche, now i just have to make some ubuntu deb's of all this ;)
[05:30] <melot> hi anyone here knows where to get repositories for prozgui?
[05:30] <FFForever> uhhh i go to youtube start a vieo and i get no sound?
[05:30] <dabaR> will__: well, root's file's and directories will have that icon in nautilus(the file manager and desktop program
[05:30] <stfn> sky123: stat give access, modification, and change times...
[05:30] <FFForever> but i get sound in other things
[05:31] <dabaR> Lovloss: you have to edit the file with sudo
[05:31] <melot> FFForever: i think you need do download plugins
[05:31] <InkChild> Does anyone know how to merge/join two avi video files?
[05:31] <Lovloss> how do i do that, lol. i suck :(
[05:31] <stfn> er, "stat gives" (man 1 stat)
[05:31] <Lovloss> oh wait, ill gksudo it
[05:31] <FFForever> what plugins?
[05:31] <sky123> but the creation time...i know there is ctime..but cant find it on the box?
[05:31] <FFForever> flash is installed
[05:31] <mikeo1> flash beta 9 is great
[05:32] <stalefries> mikeo1: got beta 2?
[05:32] <mikeo1> i dunno
[05:32] <mikeo1> have not had any problems with the beta i have though
[05:32] <stalefries> mikeo1: came out like today or yesterday
[05:32] <dabaR> FFForever: read this too https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats#flashtrouble
[05:32] <mikeo1> Shockwave Flash 9.0 d78
[05:32] <FlyCaster> hello.... I installed Ubuntu 6.10 about two weeks ago on a Compaq Presario 5304 (255 Mhz Pentium) and it recognizes one HD but not the WD 5.1GB i have on hdb.  How do I mount it?  I can see it using Gnome Partition Editor, but can't see it any other way.
[05:33] <F28> Where can i find a guide to installing a new Desktop Enviroment?
[05:33] <melot> FFForever: did you use automatix?
[05:33] <Kingsqueak> F28: which one, in what context?
[05:33] <FFForever> automatix?
[05:33] <F28> KDE
[05:33] <dabaR> will__: you can chown the Examples directory to yourself, if you wish to keep that particular dir and do not want the lock on it...
[05:33] <FFForever> what is that?
[05:33] <stalefries> F28: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop
[05:33] <InkChild> FlyCaster if you can see it in gparted, what device name does it have?
[05:33] <stalefries> !automatix
[05:33] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use.
[05:33] <melot> its sort of installer in ubuntu
[05:33] <F28> Not hooked up to the internet
[05:34] <Lovloss> dabaR, i have changed the file, unmounted the drive, and i did 'mount -a'
[05:34] <melot> it might help you
[05:34] <stalefries> F28: then tough luck :(
[05:34] <F28> :(
[05:34] <dabaR> Lovloss: and it did not complain? can you edit the files now?
[05:34] <F28> Thnx
[05:34] <Lovloss> dabar it worked normally, but it didnt appear on desktop
[05:34] <gbu> Hello.Where does synaptic save the programs i download?
[05:34] <stalefries> melot: Automatix = bad, or at least not recommended
[05:34] <dabaR> Lovloss: do other drives appear on the desktop?
[05:35] <stalefries> melot: !easyubuntu is recommended now
[05:35] <FlyCaster> Inkchild:  I think it showed it as hdb in Gnome partition editor, but I can't see itusing Kwikdisk, or any of my file managers.
[05:35] <Lovloss> Cds do. Or at least it should show in my "disk mount" tool
[05:35] <melot> ahh ill check it out
[05:35] <Lovloss> if i link to it from my desktop, should that work?
[05:35] <melot> thanks stalefries
[05:36] <InkChild> FlyCaster: see if you have it, ls /dev/hdb
[05:36] <dabaR> Lovloss: well, yes, that would likely work, but there is also a nautilus option in gconf-editor for showing drives on the desktop. Is it in your places menu?
[05:36] <InkChild> FlyCaster: should output something
[05:36] <Lovloss> actually im not going to worry about it, its just a backup drive
[05:36] <nn> WOOOHOO
[05:36] <Lovloss> ill just hold stuff on it
[05:36] <dabaR> gbu: /var/cache/apt/archives
[05:36] <stalefries> nn: something good?
[05:36] <melot> anyone here uses download accelerators?
[05:36] <FlyCaster> Inkchild:  I am aa relative newbie to Linux.  I will try using a shell....
[05:37] <Lovloss> k. cya guys, thanks again
[05:37] <nn> stalefries, Yes. Got DoD (Army/Navy/Air Force) CAC cards working in ubuntu
[05:37] <dabaR> Lovloss: OK. It should work from now on when you reboot, the mount -a command is like a reboot of mounting:)
[05:37] <dabaR> Lovloss: welcoe
[05:37] <InkChild> flycaster: oh yeah that, it's safe, don't worry
[05:37] <Lovloss> ok ^_^ thanks
[05:37] <stalefries> nn: cool, dunno what those are :)
[05:37] <nn> stalefries, smart card ID cards
[05:37] <feross> melot: downthemall is a good dl tool or qtbittorrent
[05:37] <VigoFusion> gbu: Mine are saved to Places>HomeFolder,,,its the synaptic viewer, but your files are saved to where you specify , normally
[05:37] <InkChild> FlyCaster: wish i could gui you into it but shell will do
[05:38] <stalefries> nn: ooh, fancy
[05:38] <nn> stalefries, Common Access Card, our new ID cards have a smart card feature with a neato PKI system in place for global authentication
[05:38] <melot> thanks
[05:38] <FFForever> thanks
[05:38] <zack_> hey, i'm trying to get GFTP to only show files which don't end in the tilde (~) - how do i make this rule and put it in the Filespec function?
[05:38] <Pablo_C> is there any decent map program like streets and trips for linux?
[05:38] <InkChild> FlyCaster: don't know how to open a shell?
[05:39] <feross> melot: oops not qtbittorent just qbittorrent
[05:39] <snype> anyone here use uslab
[05:39] <EnsilZah> I'm trying to upgrade from dapper to edgy but i keep getting "failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2)" can anyone help?
[05:39] <VigoFusion> Pablo_C Yes there is
[05:39] <nn> stalefries, now i just gotta get pam_pkcs11 working and i'll build some deb's
[05:39] <Pablo_C> what is it VigoFusion ?
[05:39] <LineOf7s> Howdy peeps.  I have one issue that's preventing me from rolling out a half-dozen Ubuntu boxes instead of WinXP ones - and that's configuring the keymapping of the terminal (any kind).  Anyone have any pointers?  Google's keeping most of it to herself.  :o\
[05:39] <stalefries> nn: yay for initiative!
[05:40] <dabaR> EnsilZah: post /etc/apt/sources.list to paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[05:40] <InkChild> FlyCaster: ??
[05:40] <shawnr_> Can anyone direct me to a wiki/tutorial on setting up a local "shared" folder between users on the the same box?
[05:40] <madman91> POLL: who has a nokia n73
[05:40] <FlyCaster> Inkchild:  using "terminal" I get nothing either for hda or hdb.  it just prints /dev/hdb with the background black.
[05:40] <nn> stalefries, took some work, but i'm determined to learn Italian, and my access to Rosetta stone is via CAC card :)
[05:40] <stalefries> shawnr_: just make the folder readable and writable by everyone
[05:40] <_kalm> does anyone else here have problems with having the wireless (wlan0, rt61 drivers) to STAY up/online
[05:40] <InkChild> FlyCaster: haha that's it
[05:40] <feross> LineOf7s: System>Preferences>Keyboard
[05:40] <VigoFusion> Pablo_C: It is the same one, sorta, the files and repositories are listed on the Ubuntu page for your distro.
[05:40] <FlyCaster> Inkchild:  so how do i mount it?  mount /dev/hdb?
[05:41] <Pablo_C> hmm
[05:41] <InkChild> FlyCaster: typing "ls /dev/hdb" should output "/dev/hdb", yes but try...
[05:41] <Pablo_C> VigoFusion,  i am using edgy
[05:41] <dabaR> LineOf7s: I do not know much about it, but try man -k map and look through the available commands.
[05:41] <shawnr_> stalefries, but if one user creates a file in the folder, the file still has different rights than the folder its in.
[05:41] <Pablo_C> VigoFusion, what is it called?
[05:41] <InkChild> FlyCaster: "cd /media" first
[05:41] <LineOf7s> feross:  thanks, but that doesn't seem to cut it.  I need the terminal to emulate a VT320 - which means the top four keys of the numeric keypad become PF1 - PF4.  This is the showstopper.
[05:41] <stalefries> shawnr_: hmm. Educate users?
[05:41] <LineOf7s> ty dabaR - I'll have another look.
[05:41] <VigoFusion> Pablo_C: There is also a Star_Field, science app, Map, Global View, lotsa fun stuff. let me see if I can locate for you.
[05:42] <FFForever> i cant see text in flash?
[05:42] <InkChild> FlyCaster: once there try "ls hdb" should output "hdb"
[05:42] <gbu> I can't find it in home
[05:42] <shawnr_> stalefries, would rather not have to change permissions on every file written into the folder
[05:42] <dabaR> shawnr_: make their umasks have nice group permissions, and put them in the same group.
[05:42] <kodat> hey which torrent client do you guys use ?
[05:42] <Pablo_C> VigoFusion, ok thank you ;)
[05:42] <KnowledgEngi> sudo apt-get install linux-tree
[05:42] <zack_> kodat: utorrent ;)
[05:42] <KnowledgEngi> apt do not find linux-tree
[05:42] <stalefries> kodat: either the built-in gnome bottorrent or utorrent in wine
[05:42] <kodat> ah so you use wine
[05:42] <KnowledgEngi> why???
[05:42] <InkChild> FlyCaster: if it doesn't it means you dont have a /media/hdb folder
[05:42] <feross> FFForever:  in the firefox addressbar type... about:plugins  see what version of flash you're running
[05:43] <gbu> Where does apt-get normally install files in ubuntu?
[05:43] <kodat> i guess i should install wine
[05:43] <kodat> alright thanks ~
[05:43] <dabaR> gbu: can't find what? the directory is /var/cache/apt/archives for installation files. try ls /var/cache/apt/archives
[05:43] <kodat> azureus sucks so bad on ubuntu heh
[05:43] <InkChild> FlyCaster: so create it with "sudo mkdir hdb"
[05:43] <atarinox>  does anyone know of a program which will scan for wireless
[05:43] <atarinox>                   networks in the area and show me a list of em?
[05:43] <feross> kodat: try qbittorrent
[05:43] <Pelo> kodat,   utorrent on wine
[05:43] <FlyCaster> Inkchild:  right.  says "no such file or directory.
[05:43] <dabaR> gbu: files get installed in different places depending on the package you install. Do you have a more specific question, about a particular package?
[05:44] <InkChild> FlyCaster: then create it
[05:44] <kodat> Pelo, i use to use bitcomet when i was with windows..was so much b etter than azureus..never used utorrent though
[05:44] <Jordan_U> gbu: I am not qite sure what you mean, it installs them where they need to go.
[05:44] <dabaR> atarinox: network-manager-gnome
[05:44] <KnowledgEngi> http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/CompilazioneKernel?highlight=%28kernel%29
[05:44] <InkChild> FlyCaster:  it will ask for a password, that'd be your normal system password
[05:44] <Pelo> kodat,  ut is so much better then bc
[05:44] <KnowledgEngi> sudo apt-get linux-tree
[05:44] <kodat> Pelo, ill give it a whirl
[05:44] <gbu> Where does apt-get normally usually save files in ubuntu?
[05:44] <KnowledgEngi> apt-get do not find linux-tree
[05:44] <KnowledgEngi> why?
[05:44] <Jordan_U> gbu: Use wheris < commandName > for information on where individual programs are installed.
[05:44] <F28> Does Ubunto have a ROOT password?
[05:44] <dabaR> gbu: which files?
[05:45] <F28> **ubuntu
[05:45] <InkChild> f28 no it is disabled by default
[05:45] <dabaR> !root| F28
[05:45] <ubotu> F28: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[05:45] <F28> kk
[05:45] <kodat> Pelo, wish i could get beryl to work..i reinstalled linux today after all the messed up stuff i did to it..works so much better. not to mention i got my wireless up within 5 minutes this time haha
[05:45] <VigoFusion> pablo_C: Starfield is http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-162158.html
[05:45] <FlyCaster> inkchild.  says can't find media.  (after I did the Mkdir and then tried to mount)
[05:45] <InkChild> f28 you can get a root shell with "sudo -s"
[05:45] <Pelo> kodat,  I don't know anything about beryl
[05:45] <Pablo_C> ty VigoFusion
[05:45] <kodat> Pelo, no biggie, beryl was just good fun
[05:46] <Gizzle> Hello all, what is the difference between totem-gstreamer and totem-xine?  Which one should i install and how?
[05:46] <InkChild> FlyCaster: try "sudo mount -vt auto /dev/hdb hdb"
[05:46] <Pelo> kodat  http://www.securenet.net/members/jeanpelo/linux_guide.html
[05:46] <FloK> hi. Is it possible to scp when the dest is only root writable and how?
[05:46] <dabaR> gbu: to get a sense of the various places packages install files, run sudo dpkg -L zenity
[05:46] <kitche> Gizzle: the engines that they use one uses xine the other uses gstreamer
[05:46] <kodat> Pelo, how would i get the 0.9.24..i hope theres an option
[05:46] <InkChild> FlyCaster: or try "sudo mount -vt auto /dev/hdb /media/hdb"
[05:46] <stalefries> Gizzle: they're both backends for the totem movie plyer, which you install is your choice.
[05:46] <Jordan_U> kodat: #ubuntu-xgl and #beryl have more people with XGL / AIGLX /compiz / beryl skills :)
[05:46] <slicky> are there any solution on how to make 3d acceleration work with xorg and ATI drivers?  i cant find any help on google
[05:46] <Pelo> kodat,  hold on
[05:46] <FFForever>     File name: libflashplayer.so   Shockwave Flash 7.0 r68
[05:46] <FloK> IMO the missing root user is trouble in this case
[05:47] <InkChild> FlyCaster: you know you can edit the last line in the shell tapping the "up" key right?
[05:47] <kodat> Jordan_U, nobody ever answers in there, i already tried haha
[05:47] <Kingsqueak> FloK: I think you're right
[05:47] <Jordan_U> !fglrx | slicky
[05:47] <ubotu> slicky: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:47] <Gizzle> stalefries and kitche ,,, ok thanks
[05:47] <Pelo> kodat,  http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/index.html
[05:47] <slicky> Jordan_U:  been there done that
[05:47] <InkChild> !help nvidia
[05:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about help nvidia - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:47] <InkChild> !nvidia
[05:47] <zack_> hey, i'm trying to get GFTP to only show files which don't end in the tilde (~) - how do i make this rule and put it in the Filespec function?
[05:47] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:47] <FloK> Kingsqueak, so you also havent found any solution to this prob?
[05:47] <Jordan_U> kodat: What exactly is the problem with beryl?
[05:48] <Kingsqueak> FloK: though really, you shouldn't leave root ssh enabled, ideally you would have a process user that does the transfer and something to pick up the files on the receiving end, maybe a root run process to fix it
[05:48] <slicky> Jordan_U: "model number for your Radeon card is a 9700 pro or above"  and my is 9600 :\
[05:48] <Kingsqueak> FloK: nope
[05:48] <kodat> Jordan_U, i would have no borders on anything, then it would freeze within a couple seconds after i loaded it
[05:48] <InkChild> FlyCaster: what's taking you so long? If it's not a problem to ask
[05:48] <mborohov> hey guys
[05:48] <mborohov> i got the ipod working
[05:48] <mborohov> how do i add more workspaces?
[05:48] <dabaR> mborohov: to gnome?
[05:48] <FlyCaster> Inkchild:  ot sure what I did, but it gave me a bunch of print about naming file systems etc.
[05:48] <Pelo> mborohov,  congrats
[05:48] <kodat> Jordan_U, and that even after following all instructions on every forum heh
[05:49] <Pelo> mborohov,  just rightlick on the workspace icon in the panel > properties
[05:49] <FlyCaster> Inkchild.  I have a slow computer and am trying all this stuff as we go.
[05:49] <mborohov> dabaR: yes
[05:49] <InkChild> FlyCaster: ok it means the option auto didn't autodetect the file system type
[05:49] <dabaR> mborohov: to the little panel applet in the bottom right, do what pelo says above
[05:49] <mborohov> sweet
[05:49] <InkChild> FlyCaster: ok
[05:49] <mborohov> this is awesome
[05:49] <InkChild> FlyCaster: try this...
[05:49] <Jbo> I'm trying to get into ubuntu to run a PVR with mythtv.  I have a pci express video card that is connected to my television via composite cables and ubuntu LIVECD cannot display anything.  I was told to use ubuntu alternative, which at least comes up and tries to install, but when I get to partitioning my HD it craps out on me.  I have a 320 gig SATA 3.0 HD. I'm really not sure what what else to do, any sugguestions?
[05:49] <mborohov> now if i can only get some nice transparency :p
[05:50] <Pablo_C> VigoFusion, is that mapping stars?
[05:50] <VigoFusion> Pablo_C: Street Maps?
[05:50] <InkChild> FlyCaster: sudo mount -vt vfat /dev/hdb /media/hdb
[05:50] <Jordan_U> slicky: Does the "ATI" ( open source radeon ) driver work?
[05:50] <Pablo_C> I want streets in north america
[05:50] <FFForever> how do i make wmv's play in firefox?
[05:50] <Pelo> mborohov,  for that you want beryl I beleive
[05:50] <VigoFusion> http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/edgy/
[05:50] <Pablo_C> VigoFusion, yes :P
[05:50] <FlyCaster> Inkchild:  I think hda is one file type and hdb is Reiser
[05:51] <FlyCaster> Inkchild:  left over from another (DSL) HD installation
[05:51] <malt> anyone here use ddclient?
[05:51] <mborohov> beryl?
[05:51] <InkChild> FlyCaster: in gparted what type of filesystem it says hdb is?
[05:51] <zack_> can anyone help me with the Filespec in GFTP?
[05:51] <VigoFusion> Pablo_C: that is the Edgy , the lists are at the top of that site for other distros
[05:51] <mborohov> not compiz?
[05:51] <Kingsqueak> malt: have you looked at this yet?  http://ddclient.sourceforge.net/#help
[05:52] <Pelo> mborohov,  beryl is a fork or compiz
[05:52] <zack_> i've tried looking up docs on the GFTP filespec on google but there's nothing...
[05:52] <mborohov> is beryl relatively stable?
[05:52] <malt> Kingsqueak: isn't this insecure for the domain for it to save a password in the config for a server
[05:52] <slicky> Jordan_U: hm.. i thing so?
[05:52] <pianoboy3333> mborohov: yes...ish
[05:52] <malt> Kingsqueak it use any encryption?
[05:52] <Kingsqueak> malt: you should chown the file 600 for the user that runs the process
[05:52] <mborohov> mmm...that ish scares me a little =\
[05:53] <ixian_> ive had beryl crash/freeze on me several times.. but its cool looking
[05:53] <Kingsqueak> malt: that way other users can't read it
[05:53] <zack_> Beryl would be good if you didn't have to resize windows smaller to stop them appearing black
[05:53] <InkChild> FlyCaster: try sudo mount -vt raiserfs /dev/hdb /media/hdb
[05:53] <Pablo_C> VigoFusion, thanks mate
[05:53] <InkChild> FlyCaster: does it fly?
[05:53] <dabaR> InkChild: the /dev/hdb is always gonna have a number at the end too
[05:53] <slicky> Jordan_U:  hm.. i dont think iv got the resctricted-modules installed..
[05:54] <VigoFusion> Pablo_C: My pleasure if I helped you I helped myself.
[05:54] <slicky> Jordan_U: how do i findout if i do have them?
[05:54] <InkChild> dabaR: mega-DU'H that's rite!!!
[05:54] <FlyCaster> Inkchild:  "wrong fs, after several tries.
[05:54] <InkChild> FlyCaster: hey listen
[05:54] <dabaR> InkChild: you can find out partition info with sudo fdisk -l
[05:54] <InkChild> FlyCaster: try sudo mount -vt raiserfs /dev/hdb0 /media/hdb
[05:55] <InkChild> dabaR: got it
[05:55] <FlyCaster> Inkchild. ok
[05:55] <InkChild> FlyCaster: dabaR is right, it is not hdb is hdb0 or hdb1 etc... if that device has one partition it will be hdb0
[05:55] <VigoFusion> <<<<<<<<is a proponent of the Care Ware program.
[05:56] <tim|iBook> Ok, I'm trying to install off of the 6.06 pc disk, and it's locking my res down to 640x480
[05:56] <InkChild> VigoFusion: care ware?
[05:56] <syntaxx> how can i remove added session in console?
[05:56] <FlyCaster> Inkchild:  I think I got something using hdb1 to /media/hdb
[05:56] <nn> How do i contribute a package? :)
[05:56] <dabaR> InkChild: more likely hdb1
[05:56] <dabaR> nn: visit #ubuntu-motu
[05:56] <Jordan_U> slicky: search for restricted modules in synaptic and see if it is checked.
[05:56] <nn> dabaR, thanks
[05:56] <dabaR> syntaxx: what session?
[05:56] <InkChild> dabaR: why? i think it's only one partition
[05:56] <FFForever> how do i add mp3 support to amarok?
[05:56] <kayxray> I've been having problems with my laptop and am looking to get a new desktop.  Can anyone provide any pointers on how to find a good motherboard, cpu, video, audio, etc. combination that is good and works well with Ubuntu/Linux?  Thanks!
[05:57] <dabaR> InkChild: find out with sudo fdisk -l
[05:57] <InkChild> dabaR: is reiser for the whole disk isn't it?
[05:57] <FlyCaster> Inkchld:  I had it formatted & partitioned as hdb1  Now let me see if I can see it in other programs....
[05:57] <syntaxx> dabaR: i added beryl-manager in the session as the guides told me to do.. now when i logout and log back in my X freeze
[05:57] <dabaR> FFForever: read the restricted formats page already:) the package you need is libxine-extracodecs
[05:57] <VigoFusion> InkChild: You can read about CareWare and its creator, that doesnt want any $ for what he does. http://www.arachnoid.com/
[05:58] <dabaR> syntaxx: show me the guides, please
[05:58] <syntaxx> dabaR: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BerylOnEdgy
[05:58] <InkChild> FlyCaster: ok so let's go that way, type "sudo fdisk -l" that's a lower case "L"
[05:58] <FFForever> what are the requirements for beryl?
[05:58] <FFForever> to run nicely
[05:58] <InkChild> VigoFusion: thx
[05:58] <tim|iBook> Ok, I'm trying to install off of the 6.06 pc disk, and it's locking my res down to 640x480
[05:59] <InkChild> FlyCaster: it will tell you what devices you can reach
[05:59] <dabaR> syntaxx: and you can not log into failsafe gnome session at all?
[05:59] <FlyCaster> Inkchild:  ok
[05:59] <kodat> Pelo, hey dude, when i create that utorrent icon everytime i click it it opens re-installation..how do i get it to open the program regular
[05:59] <dabaR> syntaxx: log in failsafe and remove that from your session
[05:59] <syntaxx> dabaR: i havent tried wait
[05:59] <Jordan_U> FFForever: If you have good drivers, anything >= my 3 year old intel integrated graohics :)

[06:00] <Jordan_U> slicky: Can you pastebin your xorg.conf ?
[06:00] <Pelo> kodat,  get the stand alone not the installer
[06:00] <tim|iBook> thank's I'm trying that now
[06:00] <FlyCaster> inkchild:  it shows hda1 hda2 hda3 & hdb1  !!!
[06:00] <kodat> Pelo, ah whoops
[06:00] <slicky> Jordan_U: pastebin? :$
[06:00] <syntaxx> dabaR: i cant login in failsafe dnome too
[06:00] <Acu> Greetings to all. I have installed Apache 2.2 and it works fine, however if I drag Drupal files (with index.php) I am not able to brows localhost - I guess is about enabling index.php to be read by the server - any hints will be appreciated
[06:00] <dabaR> InkChild: no worries, I learn as I go along too, let me know if I can help you guys.
[06:00] <Jordan_U> !paste | slicky
[06:00] <ubotu> slicky: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[06:01] <InkChild> FlyCaster: now you want hdb1 don't you? what filesystem does it got?
[06:01] <slicky> Jordan_U: kk w8
[06:01] <Vich> how to remove a driver?
[06:01] <Vich> :S
[06:01] <dabaR> syntaxx: try gnome-session-remove in a console
[06:01] <Vich> it's causing my system to lockup at startup
[06:01] <syntaxx> dabaR: ok
[06:01] <Vich> I had to remove the card
[06:01] <Vich> and reboot
[06:01] <arepie> Vich: what card?
[06:01] <slicky> Jordan_U:  http://<IP_ADDRESS>/xorg.conf
[06:02] <dabaR> Acu: it downloads the php instead of processing it on the server?
[06:02] <syntaxx> dabaR: it says cannot open display
[06:02] <VigoFusion> llnkChild: And spend a moment or three at that site he explains all about the Care Ware ideal, and has some very neat programs, and yes they are free, but you are asked to care.
[06:02] <Acu> dabaR: yes
[06:02] <InkChild> FlyCaster: hda3 is likely to be your swap, if system is linux it is ext3
[06:02] <FlyCaster> Inkchild:  /dev/hdb1               1<PHONE_NUMBER>   83  Linux
[06:02] <Vich> a dlink wireless card
[06:02] <zoople> Hi guys. Is there a good guide i can read to get me up and going for making dynamic websites in Ubuntu?
[06:02] <InkChild> so it is ext3 possibly ext2
[06:02] <kayxray> PHP?
[06:02] <Vich> zoople, depends on language
[06:03] <Vich> php isn't the only solution
[06:03] <slicky> Jordan_U:  do i have to add a module to the .conf file?
[06:03] <InkChild> FlyCaster: givme 30 seconds
[06:03] <zoople> aiming at PHP/mySQL
[06:03] <Vich> but it's a good one
[06:03] <kayxray> :)
[06:03] <Jordan_U> slicky: Why do you have 2 "Section "Device" " s ?
[06:03] <kayxray> I'm a mind reader Vich.
[06:03] <zoople> yeah, im fairly new at all this, so PHP is to my liking
[06:03] <Vich> well grab apache, php and mysql (server)
[06:03] <InkChild> FlyCaster: ok try this
[06:03] <Vich> and try looking at www.php.net
[06:03] <dabaR> Acu: did you install php support for apache?
[06:03] <FlyCaster> inkchild:  hda1 & 3 are ext2  hdb1 is reiserfs, i think.
[06:03] <slicky> Jordan_U:  hm.. iv got a tv-out card
[06:03] <Vich> they have really good doco
[06:03] <Vich> especially for functions
[06:03] <zoople> Vich: am i confused to have thought that Ubuntu came with some sort of SL inbuilt?
[06:03] <InkChild> FlyCaster: no it isn't look...
[06:04] <Vich> SL = scripting language?
[06:04] <zoople> *SQL
[06:04] <InkChild> FlyCaster: 83  Linux means ext3
[06:04] <zoople> sorri meant SQL
[06:04] <Vich> I don't think it does
[06:04] <nn> libnspr4-dev seems to be busted as it forces auto removal of mozilla-firefox and a bunch of other packages, which depend on libnspr4 :(
[06:04] <Jordan_U> slicky: ATI ( on the TV out card ) ?
[06:04] <zoople> ok thanks :)
[06:04] <Vich> ;)
[06:04] <Acu> dabaR: I downloaded some modules - I am not sure I did the right ones - I will check again
[06:04] <mborohov> alright
[06:04] <zoople> now, what is the best Website Creattion tool?
[06:04] <slicky> Jordan_U:  it a radeon ati with tv out..yes
[06:04] <zoople> and dont say jEdit :p
[06:04] <mborohov> so now that the ipod works
[06:04] <Vich> depends if you want wysiwyg or plain text
[06:04] <Vich> I use scite
[06:04] <InkChild> FlyCaster:  if hdb1 83 Linux it should be ext3
[06:05] <Pelo> zoople,  nvu is easy enough
[06:05] <Vich> which is a simple text editor
[06:05] <FlyCaster> inkchild:....hmmmmm   memory must be bad.  There isn't anything on it, so I can reformat it any way I wish at this point, if it would help.
[06:05] <Vich> with syntax highlighting for php
[06:05] <zoople> im looking more wysiwyg
[06:05] <InkChild> FlyCaster: did you mounted it?
[06:05] <zoople> so, im looking for a dreamweaver equivalent really
[06:05] <Vich> ah
[06:05] <Jordan_U> slicky: Why are you using fglrx for one and ATI for the other?
[06:05] <maurox> nvu then
[06:05] <InkChild> FlyCaster: are you sure?
[06:05] <Vich> fine, don't wait for my informative answer
[06:05] <FlyCaster> I entered the commands you gave me, so I assume it mounted.
[06:06] <FFForever> what will my thumbdrive be in /dev/?
[06:06] <slicky> Jordan_U:  i dont know.. iv just installed it.. it like a standard conf
[06:06] <VigoFusion> I always like Aracnoid, free, open source, can be WYSIWG or as complex as you wanna go.
[06:06] <Pelo> FFForever,  more likely in /media/
[06:06] <FFForever> auto launcher isnt comming up
[06:07] <Ghost_Printer> !Firestarter
[06:07] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[06:07] <dabaR> syntaxx: I can only think of logging into X with a different session, then running the gnome-session-properties from the terminal
[06:07] <InkChild> FlyCaster: so? are you sure it has no format?
[06:07] <dabaR> syntaxx: actually, that will not work.
[06:07] <syntaxx> dabaR: hmm ok
[06:07] <syntaxx> dabaR: =/
[06:07] <InkChild> FlyCaster: if it says Linux it should be formated, with ext3
[06:08] <dabaR> syntaxx: since the session will not be running.
[06:08] <mikeo1> the upgrade manager actually worked this time
[06:08] <dabaR> syntaxx: but maybe you could then try the gnome-session-remove, try a different session, do you have any other wms insatlled?
[06:08] <mikeo1> and only 19 min left to download all the updates
[06:08] <syntaxx> dabaR: none
[06:08] <mikeo1> lol it didnt fniish upgrading
[06:08] <FlyCaster> inkchild:  not sure of anything about it at this poing.  I may not have used it with DSL linux.  But had used it with a version of Mepis, but it was really slow.  So I uninstalled Mepis and played with DSL until I got this Ubuntu 6.10 and I really like it on this computer.
[06:08] <dabaR> syntaxx: install openbox, if you want, quickly, it has just 2 packages
[06:09] <syntaxx> dabaR: ok
[06:09] <Jordan_U> slicky: OK, I am not verry good with xorg editing, backup your current xorg.conf and run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh   When it asks you for a driver choose "fglrx" , and be sure you know how to restore your backup xorg from the terminal in case this doesn't work.
[06:09] <dabaR> syntaxx: well, I just tried that too, and it does not work.
