[12:01] <flavien> Hi. Looking for help with sound card (nvidia Unknown device 026b (rev a2)).
[12:01] <mwe> !sound
[12:01] <lightbright> mwe: doesnt your system open up for security risks when you install wine and IE?
[12:01] <ubotu> well, sound is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems or http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoundProblemsHoary
[12:02] <Bizzeh> lightbright: is WINE windows?
[12:02] <patrick__> I saw a nice feature on FC4 called Display Settings that not only shows you your video adapter but also your monitor and restricts it to it's limitations, isn't there a similar config for ubuntu?
[12:02] <Bizzeh> no it isnt
[12:02] <Bizzeh> its a compatability layer
[12:02] <Bizzeh> so
[12:02] <lightbright> Bizzeh: no need to be condescending. I was asking mwe
[12:02] <Bizzeh> it is not subject to ALL the same bugs
[12:02] <rahul> mwe: its the binary version ....... in the package manager its written as nvidia-glx
[12:02] <rahul> NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x/X.Org driver
[12:02] <mwe> lightbright: not really. I guess if you're unlucky you fake windows drive can be hosed
[12:02] <lightbright> mwe: ok thanks
[12:02] <mwe> lightbright: that's a subdir in your home dir if you don't know
[12:03] <lightbright> mwe: ok
[12:03] <LaserLine> Hello All, I have a problem for quite some time goig to http://www.ubuntuforums.org/
[12:03] <LaserLine> Anyone knows what's going on ?
[12:03] <mwe> lightbright: so just removing that and reinstalling IE would fix such potential problem
[12:03] <lightbright> mwe: ok
[12:03] <Seveas> LaserLine, hardware problems
[12:03] <rahul> mwe: even in xorg.conf card name is not displayed its written as Identifier	"NVIDIA Corporation NVIDIA Default Card"
[12:04] <webmaster> hoi
[12:04] <mwe> rahul: driver in xorg.conf?
[12:04] <LaserLine> Seveas, Do you know when the UbuntuForum's server will be fixed?
[12:04] <Seveas> LaserLine, no sooner than that the hardware problems are solved I guess
[12:05] <flavien> Went to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems
[12:05] <gnomefreak> LaserLine, they have been up and down for the past few days i would assume event he people working on it dont know when :(
[12:05] <flavien> Alsa docs say nvidia is snd-intel8x0
[12:05] <rahul> mwe: nvidia is written in driver
[12:05] <LaserLine> Seveas Ohh, ok - I hope they will be solved quickly, I'm using google's cache to try and work it...
[12:05] <metzger27> Could someone please help me with a dependency confliction?
[12:06] <flavien> However, when I modprobe this, I get nothing more...
[12:06] <rahul> mwe: driver version is 76.60 but its not written there
[12:06] <gnomefreak> flavien, are you looking for the name of the card?
[12:06] <beelzebub1987> Anyone Here Play Unreal Tournament 1999?

[12:07] <mwe> rahul: I don't know then. sorry
[12:07] <gnomefreak> flavien, is it an onboard card?
[12:07] <flavien> gnomefreak: yes.
[12:07] <rahul> mwe: ok :(
[12:07] <mwe> rahul: maybe someone else does
[12:07] <gnomefreak> im guessing thats why it gives the unknown device output
[12:07] <flavien> gnomefreak: Asrock K8NF4G

[12:09] <cactii> I'm in terminal window.... I'm not that good with Linux!
[12:09] <whyameye> I'm confused about AMD/Intel etc. If I have stuff compiled for the Intel 32 processors, will it run on an AMD or do I have to recompile? Both machines are ubuntu Breezy.

[12:12] <Dr_Willis> xmame --help
[12:12] <mwe> JarG0n: the error is indicating you didn't use /
[12:12] <metzger27> Well, see I have libsmpeg0c2 installed on my machine, right?
[12:13] <_jason> saif: I *think* I do, I found it the other day in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf but haven't tested it out

[12:13] <swb> mplayer
[12:13] <Discipulus> how do I cd into a directory that begins with -

[12:13] <metalhedd>  trying to remove phpmyadmin. can anyone help?!
[12:13] <ssstormy> cello_rasp, try searching in synaptic "tv card" or similar
[12:13] <metzger27> Gnomefreak: I need to install pygame, which depends on libsmpeg. But it needs libsmpeg0, and won't accept libsmpeg0c2 which I already have installed. It came installed with Ubuntu.
[12:13] <cactii> When I try and boot my machine I get the following error: _IceTransNoListen: unable to find transport: tcp Can anybody help me with this?
[12:14] <ssstormy> cello_rasp, and tell it to search the info, not jsut the names
[12:14] <nilsL> Could somebody recommend a good gui based ftp client?
[12:14] <gnomefreak> metzger27, paste the output of sudo apt-get install python-pygame please
[12:14] <swb> nilsL, gftp
[12:14] <AMDXP> gftp
[12:14] <JarG0n> where should *.run files go before I install them?
[12:14] <rahul> is there any way to force refresh rate on linux :-/
[12:14] <coach> hi@all
[12:14] <CanYouHelpMePlz> pittsburgh's goin to the super bowl! yeaaa!
[12:14] <nilsL> swb: AMDXP except gfp
[12:14] <mwe> JarG0n: anywhere
[12:14] <coach> im sry, im a bloody noob to linux...
[12:14] <ssstormy> Discipulus, unusuall characters like a space are preceeded by a \
[12:14] <Seveas> CanYouHelpMePlz, -ETOPIC
[12:14] <lightbright> hello
[12:14] <mwe> JarG0n: what are you trying to install?
[12:14] <Discipulus> ssstormy, don't work
[12:14] <JarG0n> mwe: Thx, and to exec this, what do I use?  quake4-linux-1.0.6.x86.run
[12:14] <CanYouHelpMePlz> Seveas: no idea what that means
[12:15] <ssstormy> nilsL, gftp
[12:15] <coach> i downloaded lazarus.....rpm and now i dont know how to go on
[12:15] <Discipulus> ssstormy, I've had this problem before but I often forget the solution by the next time I need to use it :-D
[12:15] <Seveas> CanYouHelpMePlz, that you're very off topic which is bad
[12:15] <lightbright> is it possible for a person to enter my system and download or read a text file I have on my hard drive? Is that possible at all?
[12:15] <ssstormy> Discipulus, ah I see
[12:15] <cactii> oh man I really don;t want to go back to windows...
[12:15] <AMDXP> flashfxp via wine
[12:15] <chx> hi. Where can I find a 1.0-8xxx nvidia-glx for Breezy?
[12:15] <CanYouHelpMePlz> Seveas: thats ok, i couldn't possibly be happier
[12:15] <metzger27> Gnomefreak: root@metzger:/home/metzger# apt-get install python-pygame
[12:15] <metzger27> Reading package lists... Done
[12:15] <metzger27> Building dependency tree... Done
[12:15] <metzger27> You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
[12:15] <metzger27> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[12:15] <nilsL> ssstormy: except gftp
[12:15] <ssstormy> oh
[12:15] <metzger27>   python2.4-pygame: Depends: libsmpeg0 but it is not installable
[12:15] <metzger27> E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
[12:15] <mwe> JarG0n: chmod +x file.run. then you probably need sudo ./file.run
[12:15] <ssstormy> Discipulus, try " around the line
[12:15] <Discipulus> ssstormy, I tried quotes, didn't work
[12:15] <Discipulus> ssstormy, single, double, and ` don't work
[12:15] <ssstormy> nilsL, there's a port of filezilla... it's still in the works, but I like filezilla...
[12:16] <JarG0n> mwe: thx.  Can I ask what chmod does?  sets attributes?
[12:16] <whyameye> is something is compiled for Intel (IA-32?) will it run on a 64 bit AMD?
[12:16] <gnomefreak> didnt know i had to be spiceific on where to paste it :(
[12:16] <nilsL> ssstormy: ok thx
[12:16] <mwe> JarG0n: yeah chmod +x makes it executable
[12:16] <JarG0n> mwe: and before it is not executable?  Being a windows user, that seems a bit odd.
[12:16] <ssstormy> whyameye, I think so, but it won't use the full capabilities of 64 bit
[12:17] <JarG0n> yeah, it's not marked as executeable
[12:17] <Seveas> JarG0n, any security measure in ubuntu that actually makes sense is odd to windows users :)
[12:17] <JarG0n> Seveas: indeed
[12:17] <cactii> When I try and boot my machine I get the following error: _IceTransNoListen: unable to find transport: tcp Can anybody help me with this?
[12:17] <mwe> JarG0n: linux uses file permissions, not extensions to determine if it's an executeable
[12:17] <whyameye> ssstormy, and if I recompile, it will automatically take more advantage of the 64 bit, or would I have to set some flags or something or the configure code needs to detect etc...
[12:17] <JarG0n> mwe: sounds logical to me... I'm migrating :)
[12:18] <mwe> JarG0n: it is odd if you're not used to it
[12:18] <ssstormy> whyameye, sometimes programs will detect themselves and adjust (the ./configure stage we're talkking about)
[12:18] <JarG0n> yep
[12:18] <JarG0n> Do I need to sudo chmod first?
[12:18] <lightbright> is it possible for a person to enter my system and download or read a text file I have on my hard drive? Is that possible at all?  If so, how can I protect myself from such hackers?
[12:18] <mwe> JarG0n: you usually don't need to do that a lot
[12:18] <whyameye> ssstormy: so the compiler doesn't do this automatically. It has to be built by the source code developers, huh?
[12:18] <lightbright> mwe: any feedback?
[12:18] <Discipulus> ./- works
[12:18] <Discipulus> :-D
[12:18] <mwe> lightbright: to?
[12:18] <coach> hiho, what do i have to do with .rpm files?
[12:19] <ssstormy> lightbright, minimize the number of services you run that service the world
[12:19] <ssstormy> lightbright, run a firewall
[12:19] <Dr_Willis> lightbright,   with any 'security' breach - of course its possible.
[12:19] <gnomefreak> coach, you couldnt find a deb?
[12:19] <Dr_Willis> so keep the system as secure as possible
[12:19] <kent> lightbright, if you dont install any services manually then its not possible since ubuntu dont have any open services by default as far as I know
[12:19] <ssstormy> lightbright, use a router
[12:19] <coach> no, i'm sry
[12:19] <cactii> When I try and boot my machine I get the following error: _IceTransNoListen: unable to find transport: tcp Where do I start to correct this error???
[12:19] <ssstormy> lightbright, permanently shut down services like ssh and ftp, if you have them
[12:19] <gnomefreak> coach, what app is it?
[12:19] <coach> lazarus
[12:19] <metzger28> Gnomefreak: I pasted it elsewhere now.
[12:19] <gnomefreak> !info lazarus
[12:20] <JarG0n> kent: and to contrast Ubuntu against windows, Microsoft ships their product with ALL services enabled by default.  Go figure!
[12:20] <coach> !info lazarus
[12:20] <lightbright> ssstormy: shut down ssh and ftp?
[12:20] <ssstormy> JarG0n, not true.  just the ones you don't want
[12:20] <sagarp> where's the java 5.0 sdk as a package? the ubuntuforums appear to be down
[12:20] <JarG0n> right
[12:20] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell coach about rpm
[12:20] <lightbright> do I need to have ssh and ftp running all the time if I dont run a webserver?
[12:20] <mwe> well not quite all services are enabled by default in windows, but sure a lot of crap is
[12:20] <ssstormy> lightbright, well those aren't standard, but things like that are the biggest opening for the kinda thing you want to protect from
[12:20] <coach> !alien
[12:20] <lightbright> ssstormy: how can I see if ssh and ftp is running now?
[12:20] <ubotu> I heard alien is a program to convert RPMs to DEBs. Can give problems. Website: http://www.kitenet.net/programs/alien/
[12:21] <SkrotFFS> Where does ubuntu store firmware for hotplug (such as the firmware for ipw2200 cards)?
[12:21] <ratschnowski> hello, i need to convert mdf images to iso images, any idea how to do that with ubuntu?
[12:21] <kent> ssstormy, I thought there aren't any open services at all by default?
[12:21] <ssstormy> kent, there's a couple
[12:21] <mwe> SkrotFFS: /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/
[12:21] <JarG0n> mwe:  chmod /home/rgil/Desktop/temp/QuakeFiles/quake4-linux-1.0.6.x86.run +x  results in ( chmod: invalid mode string: `/home/rgil/Desktop/temp/QuakeFiles/quake4-linux-1.0.6.x86.run' ) :(
[12:21] <lightbright> kent: how can I check to see?
[12:21] <steve__> hi all...does anybody know of any inventory control software for linux?
[12:21] <steve__> Preferably open source
[12:21] <mwe> JarG0n: wrong command
[12:21] <JarG0n> doh :(
[12:21] <Bizzeh> JarG0n: chmod +x /home/rgil/Des......
[12:21] <metzger27> Gnomefreak: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7498
[12:21] <SkrotFFS> mwe: That's what I though
[12:21] <mwe> JarG0n: chmod +x file.run
[12:21] <JarG0n> ah
[12:21] <ratschnowski> read smth about mdf2iso but cannot find that package
[12:22] <ssstormy> lightbright, go to administration->services
[12:22] <ratschnowski> or is there a way to burn mdf files?
[12:22] <kent> lightbright, there are some services on the internet which runs a port-scan to see whats open on your computer.  But if you know you havent installed like ftp, telnet etc then your ok.
[12:22] <ssstormy> (under system menu)
[12:22] <SkrotFFS> mwe: There's no /etc/init.d/hotplug btw?
[12:22] <mwe> JarG0n: use tab completion for the long file path
[12:22] <lightbright> kent: I dont think I installed that!  how can I be sure?
[12:22] <ssstormy> lightbright, but first and formost, install Firestarter from the repositries, and start up that
[12:22] <lightbright> ssstormy: im running firestarter now
[12:22] <mwe> SkrotFFS: there isn't?
[12:22] <ssstormy> lightbright, you don't need to use internet port scanners
[12:22] <mwe> SkrotFFS: there is here
[12:23] <steve__> anyone?
[12:23] <SkrotFFS> mwe: hmm! I'm running dapper btw
[12:23] <gnomefreak> metzger27, what does sudo apt-get -f install give you?
[12:23] <ssstormy> go to Applications->System Tools->Network Tools
[12:23] <JarG0n> mwe: what's tab completion??
[12:23] <mwe> SkrotFFS: it's broken.
[12:23] <gnomefreak> !dapper
[12:23] <SkrotFFS> mwe: And upon apt-get install hotplug I get "Note, selecting murasaki instead of hotplug"
[12:23] <ubotu> it has been said that dapper is The 6.04 version of Ubuntu will be called the "Dapper Drake" release. Release date April 20, 2006. Not before. It is NOT ready for use.  Use it at your _own_ risk, when it breaks you need to be able to fix it yourself.
[12:23] <ssstormy> that will provide all the network testing tools you need to scan yourself
[12:23] <mwe> SkrotFFS: it alpha software
[12:23] <steve__> also, how do i set up an epson all in one printer in ubuntu?
[12:23] <SkrotFFS> mwe: I know it is ;)
[12:23] <mwe> SkrotFFS: maybe install hotplug
[12:23] <lightbright> ssstormy: actions schedular (anacron and atd) is running in services!  is that safe?
[12:23] <ssstormy> find your IP (your modem's IP) and scan that
[12:23] <steve__> i set the printer up...i  think, but how do i do the scanner?
[12:23] <SkrotFFS> mwe: apt-get install hotplug says so
[12:23] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell steve_about printer
[12:23] <metzger27> Gnomefrak: It just asks if I want to uninstall pygame. IT is the only broken package I have right now.
[12:23] <ssstormy> lightbright, yeah, those are local
[12:24] <lightbright> ssstormy: and actions schedular (cron) is running in services!  is that safe also?
[12:24] <gnomefreak> metzger27, than uninstall it
[12:24] <ssstormy> lightbright, port scanning yourself from your internet IP (not the 192.168..... one) will tell you all your open ports
[12:24] <metzger27> Gnomefreak: Then what?
[12:24] <ssstormy> lightbright, just look for stuff like ftp and ssh and apache
[12:24] <gnomefreak> metzger27, if its broken you dont want it after you uninstall it try to re-install it if you like
[12:24] <lightbright> ssstormy: and the only other services running are keylogger and gdm!  is that ok?
[12:24] <mwe> SkrotFFS: don't know. I heard hotplug is being dropped in dapper
[12:25] <lightbright> ssstormy: none of those appear in services
[12:25] <ssstormy> lightbright, yeah you're fine
[12:25] <lightbright> ssstormy:  ftp and ssh and apache is not there
[12:25] <lightbright> ssstormy: so it looks like im ok then :)
[12:25] <SkrotFFS> mwe: Might be it then :)
[12:25] <ssstormy> lightbright, do the portscan now
[12:25] <lightbright> ssstormy: how do I do the portscan?
[12:25] <metzger27> Gnomefreak: IS there a certain way I should try to re-install it? I have tried this before and it doesn't bring me anywhere.
[12:25] <lightbright> ssstormy: I have my ip
[12:25] <ssstormy> lightbright, the menu: Applications->System Tools->Network Tools

[12:26] <SkrotFFS> mwe: I see :)
[12:26] <lightbright> ssstormy: what IP address do I enter then?
[12:26] <metzger27> gnomefreak, yes.

[12:31] <cello_rasp> is ubuntuforums still down?
[12:31] <bryan> heya ll, i have a question about apt...i use arch linux right now and the package manager (pacman) can remove a program and all of its deps that aren't still needed...is there an equivalent to apt?
[12:31] <gnomefreak> mwe its dapper most of the stuff is they even pulled the graphics out of it
[12:31] <pundai> hey ladies i just did an install from g3nt00 2 ubuntu and gnome seems to be _very_ slow in loading. its not using any cpu though the splash screen is taking forever
[12:31] <quacker> Aanyone get the gatos drivers to work with xorg?
[12:31] <ssstormy> ^Ocean^, yeah there is.
[12:31] <cactii> hehehe

[12:32] <cactii> How did my permissions get changed on my files....
[12:32] <ssstormy> ^Ocean^, try something like apt-get install *rar*
[12:32] <rahul> hey anyone here with a samsung 753s moniter here
[12:32] <^Ocean^> ssstormy: what would it be i did at apt-cache search unrar and ill i came up with was comix and unrar-free
[12:32] <ssstormy> ^Ocean^, that will list all the candidates that fit *rar* and you can find the one you need
[12:32] <cactii> Does anybody know if there is a utility to configure laptop touchpads for Ubuntu???
[12:32] <ssstormy> lightbright, oh, sorry.  My bad :) dint' know that
[12:32] <metzger27> gnomefreak: Wow, thanks for the help. I cannot believe it was that easy. I don't know why I didn't work before.
[12:32] <mwe> gnomefreak: well someone just installed the nvidia binary driver in dapper for xorg
[12:32] <lightbright> ssstormy: it doesnt tell me anything when I scan!  so thats good sign yes? :)
[12:32] <BrickMaker> hi anyone, who can help me to enable Java applet at websites
[12:33] <pixelfairy> ill probalby add this to the wiki or something, but if anyone cares, to install cinelerra (video editor) do the apt repos like the cinelerra site says, then comment out the specific (non ubuntu ones) to install mplayer
[12:33] <pixelfairy> BrickMaker: in firefox?
[12:33] <gnomefreak> mwe no i mean the newly added graphical stuff like the log-out and reboot things
[12:33] <ssstormy> lightbright, yeah that's good
[12:33] <rahul> hey anyone here with a samsung 753s moniter here
[12:33] <BrickMaker> pixelfairy, yeah
[12:33] <mwe> gnomefreak: oh
[12:33] <pixelfairy> the auto install doesnt work?
[12:33] <gnomefreak> metzger27, thats what synaptic is there for
[12:33] <ssstormy> lightbright, you're got pretty good security going.  the rest is up to your activities on the web :)
[12:33] <pixelfairy> its in the multiverse repo
[12:33] <mwe> gnomefreak: my data is to important for dapper anyway.
[12:33] <BrickMaker> i have download java manually
[12:34] <tigliona1bit> I'm getting "BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key" from http://archive.ubuntu.com breezy
[12:34] <lightbright> ssstormy: ok :) thanks
[12:34] <rahul> anyone know here that a latest nvidia graphics driver works on ubuntu or not :-/
[12:34] <gnomefreak> mwe unless you plan on running on a testing pc i dont recommend useing it :)
[12:34] <lightbright> ssstormy: for future refernece, www.grc.com does port scans
[12:34] <ssstormy> pixelfairy, whoa, tell me more.. what's the address?  I was trying to use cinelerra!
[12:34] <ssstormy> lightbright, k! XP
[12:35] <mwe> gnomefreak: no that's what I hear. I would never run a test release os here though
[12:35] <pixelfairy> ssstormy: ill make a quick write up
[12:35] <BrickMaker> pixelfairy, so applets are working on your firefox
[12:35] <BrickMaker> pixelfairy, if you are experience so help me to enable mine
[12:35] <pixelfairy> BrickMaker: yea
[12:35] <bobbyd> hi
[12:35] <pixelfairy> you make a sym link to the run time plug in
[12:35] <lightbright> ssstormy: XP?
[12:35] <gnomefreak> mwe they did fix alot of the issues dapper had but theres still alot to go :)
[12:36] <pixelfairy> BrickMaker: hold on, im going to do the cinelerra thing first
[12:36] <ssstormy> lightbright, like a :), with crossed eyes and sticking out his tongue
[12:36] <BrickMaker> pixelfairy, Okay!
[12:36] <bobbyd> anyone here runnign on a G5? I have the opportunity of picking one up cheap and just wondred how ubuntu would run on it.
[12:36] <gnomefreak> <<wants a cheap g5 :(

[12:37] <BrickMaker> whats g5 is actully lol
[12:37] <gnomefreak> g5 is the processer in the macs
[12:37] <lightbright> ssstormy: that website said NO ports are seen and my system is in perfect stealth mode :)
[12:37] <quacker> a mac g5?
[12:37] <gnomefreak> thats changing  :)
[12:37] <bobbyd> yes
[12:37] <rahul> someone tell me how to install this file  NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8178-pkg1.run
[12:38] <gnomefreak> g6 will not be g6 it will be intel :)
[12:38] <BrickMaker> i'v never seen macs
[12:38] <mjbjr> I'm trying to help  someone update firefox (remotely)... where/how do you do this from the gui?
[12:38] <quacker> gnomefreak, yeah, they've sold out to wintel
[12:38] <mwe> rahul: why not use the ubuntu pacages?
[12:38] <gnomefreak> rahul, on the site you got the run file from should tell you
[12:38] <lightbright> ssstormy: Your system has achieved a perfect "TruStealth" rating
[12:38] <pundai> can someone explain why gnome is taking so freaking long to start up :)
[12:39] <pixelfairy> mwe: the packages dont always work, they do on one comp here, but not on the other
[12:39] <lightbright> ssstormy: what does it say about your system?
[12:39] <mjbjr> remotely meaning, I'm talking to them over the phone
[12:39] <pixelfairy> also, the package includes a neat lil config thingy
[12:39] <pixelfairy> i mean the nvidia installer does
[12:39] <rahul> mwe: coz the driver in the ubuntu package is 76.60 and that is not having support for 7800GTX
[12:39] <zblach> hi, with what do I rip mp3s?
[12:39] <rahul> gnomefreak: chking the site for instructions
[12:39] <ssstormy> lightbright, I have a couple of ports open
[12:39] <pixelfairy> rahul: chmod +x blahblah.run && ./blahblah.run
[12:40] <pixelfairy> rahul: but make sure X is not running when you do it
[12:40] <ssstormy> zblach, sound juicer
[12:40] <pixelfairy> youll need the kernel headers installed
[12:40] <pixelfairy> and gcc-3.4
[12:40] <zblach> ssstormy, having a couple problems with sound juicer
[12:40] <pixelfairy> i think theres a wiki page on it
[12:40] <rahul> pixelfairy : thanks ....trying
[12:40] <lightbright> ssstormy: which ones?
[12:40] <lightbright> ssstormy: did you do a ALL PORTS scan?
[12:40] <pixelfairy> rahul: look for the wiki page
[12:40] <mfv> hi... is there an expat development package for Hoary?
[12:40] <pixelfairy> i probalby left something out
[12:40] <rahul> pixelfairy : i trid everything written on that page but its not working
[12:41] <ssstormy> lightbright, i used my local utility
[12:41] <pundai> how can i check wtf gnome is doing
[12:41] <pixelfairy> i usually do that in slackware, but it did work
[12:41] <pundai> its taking forever
[12:41] <rahul> pixelfairy : u are talking about the guide to install nvidia driver right ???
[12:41] <pixelfairy> im using an ubuntu done that way now with a 6600
[12:41] <ssstormy> lightbright, I'm not gonna broadcast my ports to the world :)
[12:41] <pixelfairy> yea
[12:41] <lightbright> ssstormy: https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2
[12:41] <pixelfairy> i didnt read it, just saw that it was there
[12:41] <pundai> even failsafe isnt working
[12:41] <lightbright> ssstormy: try that it does a port scan
[12:41] <lightbright> ssstormy: and gives a report
[12:42] <lightbright> ssstormy: go to http://www.grc.com/default.htm and chose SHIELDS UP!
[12:42] <gnomefreak> remember for every portscanning tool ther eis always another one that gives differnet output :)
[12:42] <jamesson> now, what was that sudo command again?
[12:42] <cello_rasp> whats the latest ubu breezy kernel?
[12:42] <gnomefreak> 2.6.12
[12:42] <BrickMaker> <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:42] <lightbright> cello_rasp: 2.6.12-10-686
[12:43] <spanglesontoast> how do I select my sound card?
[12:43] <geoffWA> how do i mount an external hard drive in ubuntu
[12:43] <spanglesontoast> I have more than one sound card
[12:43] <jamesson> help please, x won't start
[12:43] <gnomefreak> spanglesontoast, turn one off
[12:43] <spanglesontoast> no I wish to switch one to the primary one
[12:43] <spanglesontoast> I need both on
[12:43] <lightbright> spanglesontoast: turn your onboard one off in your BIOS
[12:43] <spanglesontoast> no cos I need it on for doze
[12:43] <lightbright> spanglesontoast: why?
[12:44] <gnomefreak> spanglesontoast, with both enabled i dont think either will work
[12:44] <spanglesontoast> it supports my surround sound
[12:44] <spanglesontoast> they work fine in fedora
[12:44] <gnomefreak> spanglesontoast, this isnt fedora :(
[12:44] <lightbright> spanglesontoast: ubuntu is not fedora :P
[12:44] <VoX> heh
[12:44] <ssstormy> lightbright, yeah I'm pretty much closed up
[12:44] <mwe> they're both linux though
[12:44] <BrickMaker> yeah
[12:44] <lightbright> spanglesontoast: some things work in ubuntu that doesnt with fedora and vice versa
[12:44] <gnomefreak> spanglesontoast, keep in mind not all linux distros support the same things
[12:44] <lightbright> ssstormy: what ports were open?
[12:45] <lightbright> ssstormy: 100% of all my ports were closed :)
[12:45] <ssstormy> 22
[12:45] <spanglesontoast> what just cos it doesn't come with system-config-sound
[12:45] <ssstormy> lightbright, but it's open cause i want it to be
[12:45] <spanglesontoast> ..
[12:45] <lightbright> ssstormy: whats 22 used for?
[12:45] <cello_rasp> how do i chack for kernel ver?
[12:45] <gnomefreak> ssh
[12:45] <ssstormy> USUALLY it's for ssh, a remote login protocol
[12:45] <BrickMaker> lightbright, how do you know your 100% ports are closed?
[12:45] <lightbright> ssstormy: ah ok
[12:45] <zblach> having problems with soundjuicer
[12:45] <mwe> when it comes to hardware all linux distros should support pretty much the same hardware with a little tweaking now and then
[12:45] <lightbright> BrickMaker: port scanning report
[12:45] <jamesson> help please, x won't start
[12:45] <Sputn1k> http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/3640/nuotrauka7km.png why i can't mark thouse 2boxes for ssl?
[12:46] <BrickMaker> cello_rasp, uname -r
[12:46] <lightbright> BrickMaker:  go to http://www.grc.com/default.htm and chose SHIELDS UP!
[12:46] <zblach> "could not extract, reason : invalid parameters"
[12:46] <Sputn1k> maybie i need some libs?
[12:46] <ssstormy> lightbright, Brickmaker does have a point though, cause Green is stealth, not closed, and that only scans first 1500
[12:46] <ssstormy> lightbright, you do realize there are a bajillion ports
[12:46] <lightbright> ssstormy: so what else can I do?
[12:46] <ssstormy> lightbright, don't worry about it; you can't ever know for sure and be absolutly sure
[12:46] <ssstormy> but you're pretty good right now
[12:46] <lightbright> ssstormy: yeah true
[12:46] <quacker> Anyone get the CATV in working on an original 32 MB Radeon AIW?
[12:47] <gnomefreak> there is no such thing as one port scanning tool that will see every port
[12:47] <amonkey> what's the best way to do transparencys in gnome?
[12:47] <largo24> gnomefreak, http://scan.sygate.com/?
[12:47] <ssstormy> lightbright, lemme put it this way.  Odds are, if someone really wanted in, you wouldn't be able to stop them (if they knew what they were doing)
[12:47] <cello_rasp> amonkey: png
[12:47] <mwe> there is but it would take a very long time
[12:47] <gnomefreak> largo24, ????
[12:47] <ssstormy> lightbright, the only perfect security is to not connect to the internet
[12:47] <cello_rasp> ur srry me am dum
[12:47] <lightbright> ssstormy: yeah true
[12:48] <amonkey> cello_rasp, i meant for the windows
[12:48] <senkila> quick question, Is it me or are the forums down?
[12:48] <quacker> ssstormy, there are 65536 ports numbered from 0-65535 which can send/recieve using either UDP or TCP
[12:48] <lightbright> ssstormy: but I only seek to make it most secure as human possible for me
[12:48] <jamesson> sudo comannd to reconfig x anyone?
[12:48] <cello_rasp> forums down
[12:48] <senkila> darn...
[12:48] <cello_rasp> ..da forums always down..
[12:48] <ssstormy> lightbright, yup and you're pretty much there
[12:48] <senkila> ><
[12:48] <rahul> while installing the driver i am getting this error "no precompiled kernel interface was found to match ur kernel ..... do u want serch for the kernel interface for ur kernel on the nvidia site"
[12:48] <quacker> lightbright, then disconnect it from the Inet -- heh
[12:48] <mwe> senkila: it's been up and down, up and down ... all the time lately
[12:48] <spanglesontoast> so is there a proper way of switching
[12:48] <ssstormy> quacker, see?  a bajjillion
[12:48] <quacker> ssstormy, hardly... =P
[12:49] <ssstormy> quacker, 1 bajjillion = 65536
[12:49] <pundai> is there any package that will bring in all gnome desktop stuff
[12:49] <BrickMaker> lightbright, and ssstormy come in #flood
[12:49] <lightbright> quacker:  I only seek to make it most secure as human possible for me and still be connected to the Inet ;)
[12:49] <senkila> unreadable-name-apart-from-"we": well that sucks
[12:49] <quacker> lightbright, LOL
[12:49] <defendguin> anyone know how to reset an ipod?  remove all music and info from it?
[12:49] <ssstormy> BrickMaker, um what's that mean?
[12:49] <lightbright> quacker: L(
[12:49] <senkila> Defend, tried formatting it?
[12:49] <gnomefreak> sync it
[12:49] <quacker> lightbright, apt-get install checksecurity aide cron anacron snort bastille
[12:49] <quacker> then conf them all
[12:50] <ssstormy> defendguin, no don't format
[12:50] <pundai> heeeeeeeeelllo is there any package that will bring in all gnome desktop stuff
[12:50] <quacker> and turn off any unused services using ubuntu's service manager
[12:50] <pundai> it seems my install didn't install alll the required gnome stuff
[12:50] <lightbright> quacker: sounds complicated :P
[12:50] <cello_rasp> defendguin: gnupod... or use the ippod update (really a eraser) on win[e]
[12:50] <defendguin> so far i am disgusted with all linux ipod applications
[12:50] <mwe> pundai: no, but ubuntu-desktop will get a lot
[12:50] <rahul> while installing the driver i am getting this error "no precompiled kernel interface was found to match ur kernel ..... do u want serch for the kernel interface for ur kernel on the nvidia site" anyone knows wat is the problem even selecting yes gives me message that no kernel interface found
[12:50] <mwe> pundai: why would you want everything?
[12:51] <Kyral> rahul: just compile it
[12:51] <pundai> mwe, i dont know why my install was borked
[12:51] <pundai> is there a way i can get the base install?
[12:51] <Kyral> the installer will do it for you
[12:51] <pundai> mwe it didnt even install metacity
[12:51] <gnomefreak> lol @ just compile it
[12:51] <quacker> (I.e. cupsys, (port 623) smbd (ports 135, 137, 139) and nfsd)
[12:51] <cello_rasp> defendguin: try the iPod shuffle Database Builder if you have a shuffle.. it is awesome!
[12:51] <mwe> pundai: I don't think installing everything will fix your problem
[12:51] <lightbright> quacker: whats checksecurity aide cron anacron snort bastille?
[12:51] <Kyral> gnomefreak: in this case the thing does it for you
[12:51] <gnomefreak> Kyral, compiling a kernel is different than a package right?
[12:51] <pundai> mwe... then?
[12:51] <mwe> pundai: install ubuntu-desktop
[12:51] <defendguin> cello_rasp, i have a mini
[12:51] <gnomefreak> ohhhhhh
[12:51] <pundai> mwe ok :(
[12:51] <amonkey> if i want my windows to be tranparent, how can i do that in gnome?
[12:51] <ssstormy> lightbright, a bunch of security packages
[12:51] <gnomefreak> if apt does it for me just sit back and watch :)
[12:51] <rahul> kyral: compile the driver or the kernel
[12:52] <lightbright> quacker: why did you say I shold install checksecurity aide cron anacron snort bastille?
[12:52] <quacker> lightbright, look up the descriptions in your package manager of choice
[12:52] <lightbright> ok
[12:52] <Kyral> rahul: the Kernel Module(Driver)
[12:52] <cello_rasp> defendguin: did you try gnupod?
[12:52] <mwe> amonkey: by some powerful hardware and a lot of ram and read the forum howto
[12:52] <quacker> lightbright, they're not that hard to configure (except snort) -- they have scripts
[12:52] <rahul> kyral: how to do that ???
[12:52] <spanglesontoast> I mean it's the most simplest thing in the world
[12:52] <Kyral> rahul: the Nvidia Installer right?
[12:52] <defendguin> cello_rasp, nope
[12:52] <spanglesontoast> switching the default sound card
[12:52] <amonkey> mwe, ram and i are good friends.
[12:52] <rahul> kyral : yeah
[12:52] <pixelfairy> ssstormy: http://pixelfairy.org/quickies/cinelerra.html
[12:52] <defendguin> i tried banshee gkpod
[12:52] <defendguin> gtkpod
[12:52] <mwe> amonkey: good
[12:52] <quacker> lightbright, you can also jsut by a 'broadband Inet gateway' or 'home office router'
[12:53] <Kyral> rahul: make sure you have Build-Essiential installed, gcc-3.4, and the kernel headers for your kernel
[12:53] <cello_rasp> gnupod are commandline tools but you can write bash or even nautilus scripts to handle them, they are rock solid too :)
[12:53] <lightbright> quacker: im also using rootkithunter, that good?
[12:53] <defendguin> rhythmbox just doesnt do anything with an ipod except for play music form it
[12:53] <amonkey> defendguin, i got one for you. amarok kicks serious ass.
[12:53] <ssstormy> pixelfairy, sweetness
[12:53] <gnomefreak> yeah see thats not good
[12:53] <pixelfairy> ssstormy: i havent had a chance to test the whole set up
[12:53] <gnomefreak> debain repos can and will break ubuntu
[12:53] <pixelfairy> sooo... ummm... tell me if it sucks :)
[12:53] <defendguin> amonkey, amarok is a qt application
[12:53] <quacker> The LInux kernel IPv4 implementation has source-routed packet filtering built-in -- it just ahs to be enabled (might be the default setting on Ubuntu)
[12:54] <rahul> kyral : thanks i am trying to figure out wats that
[12:54] <Kyral> rahul: then just run it, when it sees that there is no precompiled interface it will offer to compile it
[12:54] <lightbright> quacker: you use rootkithunter also?
[12:54] <amonkey> defendguin, did i miss a requirement up there? i love it personnally.
[12:54] <quacker> lightbright, if yoiu get a rootkit that it know how to detect -- yes, but at that point I think you're hooped anyhow.
[12:54] <pixelfairy> BrickMaker: im pretty sure the autoinstaller should work
[12:54] <Phalanx> Hey I\ve got a big problem... I saved 2 text documents on my previous ubuntu install... 2 hours later on my fresh new clean kde / ubuntu install. I can\t view those documents without seeing binary text, please what\s going on_
[12:54] <cello_rasp> is qt still taboo??
[12:54] <rahul> kyral : yeah it was there but after that it given some error like kernel was compiled with gcc 3.4 and now the gcc version is gcc 4 so it can't be done
[12:54] <ssstormy> pixelfairy, that's ok, I'm sure I can stumble through
[12:55] <BrickMaker> pixelfairy, i don't know about auto installer
[12:55] <BrickMaker> pixelfairy, tell me more about it
[12:55] <Kyral> rahul: install gcc-3.4
[12:55] <pundai> cello_rasp, qt is for those hippies
[12:55] <quacker> lightbright, the best staregy is to KEEP rootkits OUT
[12:55] <pixelfairy> ssstormy: its what i just did to install mplayer and cinelerra
[12:55] <Kyral> rahul: then export CC=gcc-3.4
[12:55] <pixelfairy> BrickMaker: the auto installer in firefox
[12:55] <Kyral> then try it
[12:55] <gnomefreak> rahul, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[12:55] <studio208203> is there a way to view my text documents
[12:55] <pixelfairy> when you go to a page iwth it, it will try to download and install it
[12:55] <quacker> also aegis-virusscanner and ClamAV are your friends (especially if you have an SMTP node)
[12:55] <Kyral> gnomefreak: build-essential installs 4
[12:55] <gnomefreak> studio208203, yes open it with gedit or OOo
[12:55] <BrickMaker> yeah did'nt work, so i hit manually download
[12:55] <pundai> mwe sweet need to get 519 packages :S
[12:56] <rahul> thanks kyral and gnomefreak
[12:56] <gnomefreak> oh he didnt want 4?
[12:56] <rahul> trying
[12:56] <gnomefreak> :(
[12:56] <pixelfairy> BrickMaker: did you install that?
[12:56] <Kyral> gnomefreak: the Breezy Kernel is compiled with 3.4
[12:56] <pixelfairy> there should be a javasomething.so
[12:56] <gnomefreak> 2.6.12 is
[12:56] <pixelfairy> that you can sym link to
[12:56] <studio208203> gedit was not able to automatically detect the character coding. Please, check that you are not trying to open a binary file and try again selecting a character coding in the 'Open File...' (or 'Open Location') dialog.
[12:56] <Kyral> gnomefreak: cat /proc/version
[12:56] <BrickMaker> pixelfairy, yeah twice but still facing problem!
[12:56] <gnomefreak> Kyral, good luck that wont work here
[12:56] <Kyral> studio208203: what extension
[12:56] <gnomefreak> lol
[12:56] <Kyral> gnomefreak: I was telling YOU to do it
[12:56] <BrickMaker> pixelfairy, i hope you maybe help me much better then others!
[12:57] <gnomefreak> Kyral, i cant im not on linux atm
[12:57] <Stormx2> Could someone give me some alternatives to The GIMP?
[12:57] <pixelfairy> BrickMaker: how did you install java?
[12:57] <studio208203> funny thing it\s listed as type unknown
[12:57] <Kyral> its how you figure out what GCC your kernel is compiled with
[12:57] <cello_rasp> studio208203: nano filname.ext :P
[12:57] <lightbright> quacker: http://www.rootkit.nl/articles/rootkit_hunter_faq.html
[12:57] <Kyral> studio208203: file <filename>
[12:57] <studio208203> I just saved it on my previous ubuntu
[12:57] <Kyral> it will tell you what type it is
[12:57] <Azunai> hi guys
[12:57] <studio208203> k
[12:57] <Kyral> and it works ;P
[12:57] <ssstormy> pixelfairy, that's fine, I couldn't find cinelerra anywhere and it wouldn't compile well from source
[12:57] <rahul> kyral: i am getting this message " sudo apt-get install gcc-3.4
[12:57] <amonkey> Azunai, hi

[12:57] <Azunai> i have a ati driver issue as im new to linux can anyone help
[12:57] <BrickMaker> pixelfairy, ./jre.bin
[12:57] <amonkey> the forums, are they down?
[12:57] <studio208203> data
[12:57] <Azunai> amonkey : hi
[12:57] <BrickMaker> chmod +x jr
[12:57] <Kyral> rahul: then just do this: export CC=gcc-3.4
[12:57] <cello_rasp> yes da forums r down
[12:57] <amonkey> poo
[12:58] <Kyral> rahul: then run the installer (sudo it of course)
[12:58] <senkila> my thoughts exactly amonkey
[12:58] <studio208203> it\s listed as data, and nano views it in weird characters
[12:58] <mfv> found the answer - the package name is libexpat1-dev... a little tricky to find
[12:58] <rahul> kyral: ok
[12:58] <Azunai> can anyone advise me on a driver install?
[12:58] <amonkey> any idea when they will back? was it planned?
[12:58] <senkila> nvidia-glx?
[12:58] <quacker> lightbright, I'd relax though, most worms and trojan propagate through insecure M$ implementations of protocols like SMB (NetBIOS/NTLanManager), HTML (IE/Windows explorer) ActiveX, DCOM+, RDP and of course SMTP 'M$ VirusLook Express'
[12:58] <studio208203> I\ts vital I can view those 2 documents since they contain evry password for my setup
[12:58] <Azunai> no an ATI driver :)
[12:58] <senkila> amonkey: the forums have been like that for awhile
[12:58] <patrick_> Anyone here good with Gtkam and configuring it?  the program stop responding when I open a directory of my camera "Olympus D-360L" and then if you let it sit, the program just closes.

[12:58] <pixelmonkey> I cannot connect to my Ubuntu system using X11 forwarding, not even if I try it locally using ssh -X localhost.  When I try to run X11 applications, I get "X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication."  ANyone know what's up?
[12:58] <senkila> Azunai: no idea, always ued Nvidia =p
[12:58] <pixelfairy> thats what i did
[12:59] <amonkey> senkila, they only go down when i need them, sorry guys
[12:59] <Azunai> Senkila: damn lol

[01:02] <rahul> kyral: prompting me to change the cc environment to gcc-3.4
[01:02] <Discipulus> Azunai, no
[01:03] <Kyral> rahul: thats what export CC=gcc-3.4 should do

[01:03] <senkila> -=skitters off to pwn people with bad builds=-
[01:03] <VR823> hey all, where can i get the default sources.list?
[01:03] <Kyral> rahul: CC has to be Captial
[01:04] <rahul> kyral: ok i am doing it again
[01:04] <Kyral> Unix is VERY case sensitive
[01:04] <Kyral> A != a ;P
[01:05] <pundai> can someone explain why totem sucks
[01:05] <JarG0n> Does anyone recognize what shared library this is?  Should it come preinstalled with something? ./quake4.x86: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[01:05] <Azunai> ok im totaly confused which driver do i download and install
[01:05] <Kyral> pundai: its not that Totem sucks
[01:05] <Azunai> https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&folderID=300
[01:05] <Kyral> its that GStreamer sucks ;P
[01:05] <Kyral> Azunai: try sudo apt-get install fglrx
[01:06] <pundai> Kyral, either way
[01:06] <pundai> it can't play anything
[01:06] <Azunai> fglrx?

[01:06] <Kyral> yah
[01:06] <Azunai> ok one sec
[01:06] <Pradu> Hi, I am using Ubuntu right now and have installed gcc already.  But when I do sudo apt-get install codeblocks it doesn't work.
[01:06] <studio208203> Kyral I solved it
[01:06] <studio208203> I used a binary / text converter >D
[01:06] <Kyral> rahul: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[01:06] <Azunai> couldnt find package fglrx
[01:07] <studio208203> I cant use smilies on my keyboard setup, but i am happy xD
[01:07] <Kyral> Azunai: then apt-cache search fglrx
[01:07] <Kyral> !info codeblocks
[01:07] <AlinuxOS> ubuntuforums is still dead :(((
[01:07] <Pradu> !info codeblocks
[01:07] <VR823> where can i get the default sources.list?
[01:07] <pundai> Pradu, i dont think codeblocks has a package
[01:07] <Azunai> ok i got loads of stuff come up
[01:07] <Kyral> ubotu tell VR823 about sources
[01:07] <cold> anyone know how to create a ubuntu bootdisk ?
[01:08] <Azunai> lol what am i looking for
[01:08] <Kyral> Azunai: look for the one thats like xserver-drive
[01:08] <rahul> kyral: i think it will take some time as it ...... do i need to anything else after that or just compile the driver
[01:08] <pundai> cold, forget ubuntu boot disks
[01:08] <pundai> just get tomsrbt
[01:08] <VR823> Kyral  thanks
[01:08] <Kyral> rahul: that should be it
[01:08] <lightbright> quacker: when I try to run bastille, it says: WARNING: /usr/bin/perl cannot find Perl module Tk.
[01:08] <pundai> 99% of the time that will do what you need it to do
[01:08] <lightbright> quacker: any solution?
[01:08] <rahul> kyral: its done
[01:08] <cello_rasp> i havea bttv-based card but there is no /dev/video entry
[01:08] <cold> pundai what is that ?
[01:08] <pundai> its a rescue disk
[01:08] <VR823> !easysource
[01:08] <ubotu> For an easy to use custom sources.list creator, visit http://ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
[01:09] <rahul> kyral: i am going to try it again
[01:09] <Azunai> closest thing to that would be xorg-driver-fglrx
[01:09] <Kyral> rahul: If you closed the term you'll need to export again
[01:09] <Kyral> Azunai: thats it
[01:09] <FunkyELF> I run Gentoo, and since everything is done manually, I controll what gets written to the MBR.  I guess I'm just wondering how much say I have in the partitioning scheme and the bootloader
[01:09] <Azunai> so what do i do?
[01:09] <rahul> kyral: ok
[01:09] <Kyral> also try fglrx-config
[01:09] <Kyral> Azunai: install it
[01:09] <FunkyELF> I want to make a dual boot machine.  Does the installer for ubuntu allow for this?
[01:09] <Kyral> FunkyELF: as much as you want lol
[01:09] <Azunai> apt-get install fglrx-config?
[01:09] <cold> pundai u talking about the one that come with the ubuntu installation disk ?
[01:09] <Kyral> FunkyELF: there is the basic and Expert
[01:09] <Kyral> Azunai: and the xserver driver thing
[01:10] <Azunai> so apt-get xorg-driver-fglrx
[01:10] <Kyral> sudo apt-get install
[01:10] <Azunai> i was already in root
[01:10] <Azunai> itd downloadin some stuff
[01:10] <Kyral> Azunai: don't make a hait of that....

[01:11] <Kyral> anyway install fglrx-config as well
[01:11] <Azunai> ok
[01:11] <Kyral> Oh the console is safe
[01:11] <quacker> lightbright, try installing Tk8.4 seperately and look in the 'recommended' section for the Perl mod (using Synaptic)
[01:11] <Kyral> if you don't login as root all the time...
[01:12] <Azunai> no i always login to gnome as me
[01:12] <Azunai> then sudo su in console if i need it

[01:21] <navarone> JarG0n, any chance or finding file in a package in repos?
[01:22] <JarG0n> where is that?
[01:22] <JarG0n> packages.debian.org is down
[01:22] <Kyral> ubotu: tell JarG0n about repos
[01:22] <varsendagger> hello
[01:22] <JarG0n> thx
[01:22] <rahul> navarone: any idea about the refresh rate options
[01:22] <varsendagger> can you see me?
[01:22] <happyponcho42> Are the English forums down for anyone else?
[01:22] <happyponcho42> yes, I can see you varsendagger
[01:22] <varsendagger> ok
[01:22] <navarone> JarG0n, go to synaptic and search for file...utilizing packages outside from official repos can degrade system
[01:23] <BrickMaker> !blackdown
[01:23] <ubotu> BrickMaker: I don't know
[01:23] <varsendagger> i can't login to my default account something wrong with icesessions
[01:23] <navarone> rahul...paste xorg.conf in pastebin
[01:23] <Azunai> Kryal: thank you u really are a god
[01:23] <varsendagger> all i did was install the cadega sessions
[01:23] <navarone> !java

[01:23] <BrickMaker> how can i protect my system
[01:24] <BrickMaker> ubuntu support firewall?
[01:24] <rahul> navarone: pastebin ???
[01:24] <Azunai> i managed to install cedega on my own
[01:24] <Kyral> metal: I just let Irssi take on the background of my term
[01:24] <navarone> !pastebin
[01:24] <ubotu> I heard pastebin is a site where you can post large texts and screenshots so you don't flood the channel. You can find it at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[01:24] <Azunai> about to install my first game :)
[01:24] <n00b> Ubuntu has this dictionary app yeah... i would like to get a thesaurus app how do i do that?
[01:24] <Kyral> BrickMaker: Iptables is in all Linuxs
[01:24] <varsendagger> any one?
[01:24] <Dr_Willis> BrickMaker,  linux has firewalling built in. check out the Firestarter front end. if you watn more controll.
[01:24] <navarone> ubuntus dictionaries rock...<s>
[01:24] <Kyral> BrickMaker: but a good frontend is Firestarter
[01:24] <metal> Kyral, how do i change term bg then?
[01:24] <Kyral> IPTables owns :P
[01:24] <frazmanw> How can I add Network into nautalus window like have have in other distros?
[01:24] <Kyral> metal: I assume GNOME-Terminal?
[01:24] <BrickMaker> !Firestarter
[01:24] <ubotu> Ubuntu has, like every other linux distribution, firewalling built into the kernel. A simple frontend to this firewall is firestarter, which can be installed via synaptic.
[01:24] <n00b> navarone, do yuou know where i can find a thesaurus version?
[01:24] <ultramancool> !pastebin
[01:24] <ubotu> I guess pastebin is a site where you can post large texts and screenshots so you don't flood the channel. You can find it at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[01:24] <metal> Kyral, yes
[01:25] <Kyral> metal: look in the menubar and for preferences it should be under "current profile" or something
[01:25] <funkyMiNT> ok so i hit ctrl-alt-backspace
[01:25] <Azunai> Kryal: how do i install HL2 on cedega?
[01:25] <^Ocean^> is there a log that would tell me why "Configure network devices.." Fail on boot ?
[01:25] <funkyMiNT> i couldnt even get back to the desktop
[01:26] <navarone> n00b use synaptic and search for thesaurus
[01:26] <^Ocean^> right now i gota boot up and manual do ifconfig eth0 up
[01:26] <Kyral> Azunai: Use Point2Play?
[01:26] <Kyral> ^Ocean^: Try the GNOME Network Control Panel
[01:26] <rahul> navarone: here it is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7501
[01:26] <^Ocean^> Kyral: were would that be ?
[01:27] <Kyral> ^Ocean^: You use GNOME?
[01:27] <Dr_Willis> Cedega forums have a section on HL2.
[01:27] <^Ocean^> Kyral, correct
[01:27] <Azunai> kryal: i just ran the tests on cedega and opengl direct rendering failed and 3d acceleration failed i have an ATI X850XT Platinum Edition? any ideas?
[01:27] <metal> Kyral, thx
[01:27] <BrickMaker> !ftp
[01:27] <ubotu> Good FTP clients: gftp, konqueror, kbear, nautilus. FTP server: proftpd
[01:27] <Dr_Willis> Azunai,  you set up the non-free ati drivers yet?
[01:27] <Kyral> ^Ocean^: Find the Admin Menu (not that hard) and go to Network :P
[01:27] <Dr_Willis> !ati
[01:27] <ubotu> methinks ati is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI or http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24557&page=1&pp=10
[01:27] <mattl> hey.. i'm an OS X user, trying to make the move over to Ubuntu. I'd like to help out in anyway I can, getting Dapper to run on my iMac G5... I have it booted, at least :)
[01:28] <BrickMaker> !gftp
[01:28] <navarone> rahul what model syncmaster?
[01:28] <ubotu> BrickMaker: I'm not sure, is it larger than a breadbox?
[01:28] <Azunai> Dr Willis: what you mean?
[01:28] <Dr_Willis> mattl,  you proberly dont want to mess with dapper - its a work in progress
[01:28] <johndarkhorse> ubotu: tell BrickMaker about msg the bot
[01:28] <Kyral> mattl: you understand Dapper is Devel and in development?
[01:28] <^Ocean^> Kyral, everything looks fine there tho...
[01:28] <Dr_Willis> Azunai,  you installed the actual ati drivers (flgrx) for full 3d support yet?
[01:28] <rahul> navarone: syncmaster 753s
[01:28] <Kyral> ^Ocean^: Is eth0 set as the default Gateway Device?
[01:28] <mattl> Dr_Willis/Kyral: Yeah, I can't get er.. Breezy is it, to even boot for me?
[01:28] <rahul> navarone:17" moniter
[01:29] <Azunai> Dr_Willis: i just did apt-get install flgrz-driver and apt-get install fglrx-conrol? if thats what u mena?
[01:29] <JarG0n> Is  libsdl1.2debian-oss part of the official repos?
[01:29] <Dr_Willis> mattl,  well i cant help ya there..
[01:29] <^Ocean^> Kyral hmm let me check.  for some reason the program takes like 5min to load up...
[01:29] <BrickMaker> ubotu, tell gftp
[01:29] <Kyral> JarG0n: apt-cache policy <package> and see where it comes from
[01:29] <Dr_Willis> Azunai,  followign that "!ati" wiki page the bot just posted. i mean.
[01:29] <Dr_Willis> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[01:29] <Azunai> Dr_Willis: im a complete noob lol u make no sense
[01:30] <mattl> Dr_Willis: I accept that it might not work for me until Dapper is properly released, but at least for now, I figure I can test Live CDs and report good bugs and things.
[01:30] <JarG0n> libsdl1.2debian-oss:
[01:30] <JarG0n>   Installed: 1.2.7+1.2.8cvs20041007-5.3ubuntu2
[01:30] <JarG0n> ??
[01:30] <Azunai> il check it out
[01:30] <Dr_Willis> Azunai,  go read at  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI   - you MUST have the actual ATI drivers up and going right - for full 3d support.
[01:30] <BrickMaker> !kbear
[01:30] <ubotu> BrickMaker: Not a clue
[01:30] <frazmanw> thanks I figured out how to add network icon myself..
[01:30] <neonshadow> sadf
[01:31] <neonshadow> aw yes im back in
[01:31] <Azunai> Dr_Willis: doing it now i think lol
[01:31] <Azunai> its downloading stuff lol thats a good sign :)
[01:32] <Locke_> hi, when i start up Ubuntu when it gets to the 4th step it says "cannot initialize "init.d/rcS" and hangs, any idea's
[01:32] <funkyMiNT> is this good for a n00b to use
[01:32] <funkyMiNT> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion
[01:32] <funkyMiNT> all im trying to do is learn the basics
[01:32] <tonyyarusso> JarG0n, Yes.
[01:32] <Azunai> is there no apt-get servers with a damn 100mb/s servers lol 200kbs is way to slow for downloading
[01:32] <funkyMiNT> az, what is apt-get
[01:33] <mattl> Are the Ubuntu forums down?
[01:33] <funkyMiNT> think so
[01:33] <rahul> mattl: yeah
[01:33] <Azunai> i aint sure mate lol im been on linux for 30 mins :P its a way of getting programs i think kinda like a basic ftp through console i think then again i could be way off
[01:33] <JarG0n> how do I install libsdl1.2debian-oss ? It's in synaptic.
[01:34] <tonyyarusso> !apt-get
[01:34] <ubotu> I guess apt-get is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AptGetHowto
[01:34] <Kyral> Apt-Get owns :D
[01:34] <n00b> hey guys, whats the advantadge of using deb files?
[01:34] <tonyyarusso> Azunai, funkyMiNT ^^
[01:34] <Azunai> my friends is better :)
[01:34] <Azunai> he types something like
[01:34] <Azunai> emerge - atidrivers
[01:34] <tonyyarusso> n00b, As opposed to source or rpm?
[01:34] <Azunai> and it installed them
[01:34] <happyponcho42> can anyone see what i type?
[01:34] <metal> yeah
[01:34] <oceandead> yes
[01:34] <BrickMaker> how can view Firestarter?
[01:34] <happyponcho42> excellent
[01:34] <mattl> happyponcho42: No.
[01:35] <happyponcho42> mattl, do you know when the forums will be back up?
[01:35] <n00b> as opposed to both
[01:35] <navarone> rahul I checked your horiz/vert and the setting are right...I can't see what else would be wrong
[01:35] <mattl> happyponcho42: Soon, I hope, but I have nothing to do with them. :)
[01:35] <Kyral> Azunai: that was Portage
[01:35] <happyponcho42> oh, i see your name in red so i figured you're an op?
[01:35] <Kyral> Azunai: Gentoo Linux's claim to fame
[01:35] <rahul> navarone : thanks .... thats wat i am thinking wat is wrong
[01:35] <BrickMaker> ubotu, tell firestarter
[01:35] <tonyyarusso> n00b, Well, re: source, you don't have to compile anything.  re: rpm, they're better at figuring out dependencies.
[01:36] <happyponcho42> and i assumed ops in irc would have some kind of relation to the big guys at ubuntu
[01:36] <zblach> hi, "sound juicer could not extract this CD. Reason: Invalid Parameters"
[01:36] <rahul> navarone : this thing is really buggin me
[01:36] <navarone> BrickMaker, is it installed? If so then Applications/SystemTools/Firestarter
[01:36] <BrickMaker> how can i view file starter?
[01:36] <mattl> happyponcho42: If I'm an op already, I'm worried ;)
[01:36] <BrickMaker> Installed
[01:36] <n00b> and what about deb?
[01:36] <happyponcho42> lol im sorry
[01:36] <rahul> navarone : any other idea
[01:36] <mattl> It's cool
[01:36] <Kyral> n00b: what about deb?
[01:36] <tonyyarusso> !tell happyponcho42 about ops
[01:36] <navarone> rahul...what vid card?
[01:36] <happyponcho42> im new to XChat, the colors confuse me
[01:36] <n00b> whats so good about deb?
[01:36] <rahul> navarone : 7800GTX 256MB
[01:37] <happyponcho42> I've used irc but a different client
[01:37] <tonyyarusso> happyponcho42, Those are the nicks of ops, should you ever need them.  Use responsibly.
[01:37] <BrickMaker> navarone, no theres ain't firestarter
[01:37] <navarone> rahul...and you can't lower/raise refresh rate?
[01:37] <Azunai> right i need to reboot for this damn ati driver
[01:37] <happyponcho42> ah thank you tonyyarusso
[01:37] <Kyral> n00b: You will find in the Unix world there are many ways to do the same thing, and everyone has an opinion :P
[01:37] <Azunai> i just hope this works
[01:37] <defendguin> if i wanted to restart hald how would i do it?
[01:37] <Azunai> see you in a minuite hopefully
[01:37] <n00b> ok
[01:37] <happyponcho42> ohh, i see, the program automatically turns whatever is directed towards me into text with red font?
[01:37] <navarone> BrickMaker, if it is installed try pressing alt-f2 and type firestarter and enter/ok to try
[01:37] <Kyral> happyponcho42: yes :P
[01:38] <happyponcho42> I'm still getting adjusted to this XChat, lol, without the Ubuntu Forums, I feel homeless
[01:38] <engla> what kind of help does ubuntuforums need to get back online?
[01:38] <JarG0n> How can I install libsdl1.2debian-oss ?
[01:38] <engla> and what is our best backup forum?
[01:38] <engla>  /backup community
[01:38] <Kyral> engla: there are bigtime changes going down
[01:38] <engla> Kyral: you imply this was planned?
[01:38] <n00b> guys i cant find the front end for the thesaurus in ubuntu... where is it?
[01:38] <navarone> happyponcho42, if you want to tell a specific person soemthing user their nick so they can see the right line
[01:38] <rahul> navarone : i have 85Hz option upto 1024x768 resolution but when i change the resolution to 1280x960 the only refresh rate option i get is 60 ..... where mine moniter suppports 1280x960@72Hz
[01:39] <BrickMaker> navarone, error, you must have root access to use firestarter
[01:39] <happyponcho42> navarone, gotcha
[01:39] <zblach> how can i fix my sound juicer? :(
[01:39] <varsendagger> hey http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/518329
[01:39] <synackuator> how do I make it so beep opens my mp3s when i double click the files instead of xmms?
[01:39] <cappicard> hmm... any ETA on when or whether the forums will come back up?
[01:40] <varsendagger> please somebody look at my pastebin and tell me how pt fix it please?
[01:40] <jared_> can someone give me a link or guide me through the process to compile the spca5xx
[01:40] <robotic> how do I tell ubuntu installer to do a server type install without me having to interrupt and type it ?
[01:40] <Kyral> engla: word is that they are moving to a new server right now
[01:40] <navarone> rahul I've nevr gone above 1024x768 myself
[01:40] <mint> dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege
[01:40] <macgyver2> Heh, maybe they blew their old server by automatix-ing it
[01:40] <cappicard> Kyral: ah ok.
[01:40] <mint> how do i give myself these rights?
[01:40] <jared_> mint, use sudo
[01:40] <mint> i used this
[01:40] <jared_> put sudo in front of the command
[01:40] <rahul> navarone : ohh ok
[01:40] <cappicard> macgyver2: heh
[01:41] <mint> $ sudo apt-get install libstdc++5
[01:41] <mint> and it asked for a pass
[01:41] <mint> i gave it he pass
[01:41] <mint> and then i get
[01:41] <jared_> dunno then
[01:41] <mint> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[01:41] <cappicard> Kyral: no ETA or if it's being mirrored someplace else in the interim?
[01:41] <navarone> synackuator, right click mp3 file in file browser and choose open with and select beep...set as default
[01:41] <engla> synackuator: in nautilus, look at properties for the file, look at the tab "open with"
[01:41] <cappicard> mint, sudo dpkg --configure -a   ;)
[01:41] <engla> synackuator: for any mp3
[01:41] <rahul> navarone :is there anyway to force refresh rate in linux
[01:41] <mint> thats what i did
[01:41] <mint> oh
[01:41] <Kyral> cappicard: "soon"
[01:41] <jared_> does any one know hot to compile the spca5xx driver?
[01:41] <patrick_> How do I get divx codecs and other mpeg codecs so totem or rythmbox can play those formats?
[01:42] <navarone> rahul...no idea
[01:42] <Kyral> ubotu: tell patrick_ about w32codecs
[01:42] <cappicard> Kyral: heh. ok. gotta love the specificity of stuff like that. oh well
[01:42] <rahul> navarone :ok ..... anyways thanks a lot for the help
[01:42] <navarone> no prob
[01:42] <happyponcho42> ubotu, tell happyponcho42 about gnome-art
[01:43] <Kr0ntab> sup people
[01:43] <n00b> GUYS GUYS how in the WORLD do i install the THESAURUS so it also has a GUI
[01:43] <happyponcho42> ah ok
[01:43] <mint> so is this they way you install everything in linux
[01:43] <patrick_> thanks Kyral
[01:43] <mint> from the terminal
[01:43] <Kyral> mint: not neccessarily
[01:43] <lysis> mint, you can install from synaptic
[01:43] <theSamo> is it okay to install(dpkg) a dapperdrake deb on breezy provided i have all the depsendencies
[01:43] <Kyral> but its how you do in Ubuntu
[01:43] <theSamo> ?
[01:43] <Kyral> theSamo: Be careful...
[01:43] <Kyral> Dapper is in Devel
[01:43] <jared_> does anyon eknow about the space5xx driver?
[01:43] <happyponcho42> Kyral, first look, thought you said Dapper is the Devil
[01:43] <tonyyarusso> theSamo, You can do it, but be prepared for whatever might happen if you do.
[01:44] <happyponcho42> anyone running Dapper right now?
[01:44] <Kyral> happyponcho42: Hell no, I run it now ;P
[01:44] <tonyyarusso> happyponcho42, I saw the same thing!
[01:44] <navarone> n00b sudo apt-get install dict-moby-thesaurus  <-- should then be accessible thru dictionary frontend gui
[01:44] <theSamo> tonyyarusso: whats the worse case scenario
[01:44] <happyponcho42> Kyral, how's it running?  Any difference from Breezy?
[01:44] <oceandead> rahul youll have to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and add a modeline - im not exactly sure what youd put in there though
[01:44] <theSamo> i mean its some audio package after all
[01:44] <oceandead> howto was in forums but forums are down
[01:44] <patrick_> hey Kyral, I got this error when following the page instructions dpkg: error processing w32codecs_20050412-0.0_i386.deb (--install):
[01:44] <patrick_>  cannot access archive: No such file or directory
[01:44] <patrick_> Errors were encountered while processing:
[01:44] <patrick_>  w32codecs_20050412-0.0_i386.deb
[01:44] <keverets> Question:  How does one blank a CD-RW (say, an old Ubuntu install disk) in Breezy?
[01:45] <oceandead> ill check google cache
[01:45] <Kyral> happyponcho42: new packages, new X
[01:45] <n00b> navarone, i did install that but there is no sign of it appearing in the dictionary GUI
[01:45] <quacker> theSamo, there is no reason it shouldn't work, if like you said, you have all the dependencies.  I'd install libs using a pkg mgr though to avoid the chance of conflicts or unwanted upgrades.
[01:45] <happyponcho42> patrick_, install using synaptic
[01:45] <oceandead> see if i can find it for ya
[01:45] <happyponcho42> patrick_, enable universal and non-free repositories
[01:45] <keverets> Inserting it causes it to be mounted immediately, and then gnomebaker and k3b can't erase it.
[01:45] <patrick_> what is synaptic?
[01:45] <tonyyarusso> theSamo, Well, the worst case scenario is always that everything borks, your processor fries, melting through your hard disk and motherboard, and you end up with a really expensive paperweight.  What's the likely wcs?  I don't know; haven't tried Dapper.
[01:45] <ki4ikl> !spca5xx
[01:45] <ubotu> NO SPEAKE ENLISH!, ki4ikl
[01:45] <patrick_> and how do I enable that?
[01:45] <ki4ikl> whoops
[01:45] <ki4ikl> didn't mean to type that in here
[01:45] <Kyral> patrick_: Its in the GNOME Menus
[01:45] <theSamo> okay, thanks guys
[01:45] <rahul> oceandead: thats right .... there was a site where if u enter hsync and vsync it will output the model line but i forgot name of the site .....if someone knows it please tell me
[01:45] <happyponcho42> patrick_, System -> Administration -> Synaptic
[01:45] <navarone> n00b didi you try finding it in the drop down menu for the databases?
[01:45] <quacker> theSamo, but if you're going to do all that, why not build it from source?  (Is it in Java, C or C++?)
[01:46] <happyponcho42> patrick_, ah the forums have nicer how-to guides step to step but they're down
[01:46] <mint> things are not showing miniized in the taskbar??? how do i get this back?
[01:46] <happyponcho42> patrick_, let me see if the wiki has it
[01:46] <theSamo> quacker: c++ i think
[01:46] <tehsmo> so, what's the right thing to apt-get install for xorg on a desktop?
[01:46] <theSamo> quacker: i might just do that
[01:46] <Kyral> tehsmo: you don't have it now?
[01:46] <n00b> navarone, which one is it?
[01:46] <tonyyarusso> tehsmo, xserver-xorg, I believe.
[01:46] <tehsmo> nope, basic net-install for teh win
[01:46] <Azunai> Dr_willis: i did what that site u gave me said and it wouldnt load X i had to do dpkg-reconfigure command
[01:46] <theSamo> Kyral: no, there is no package for it on breezy
[01:46] <quacker> theSamo, so get a makefile for your jkernel achitecture from CVS, install kernel headers using apt and away you go
[01:46] <theSamo> i had it on a prev. OS
[01:47] <navarone> n00b look for moby something
[01:47] <Kyral> tehsmo: xserver-xorg should give you the basics
[01:47] <tehsmo> cool
[01:47] <Kyral> SHOULD
[01:47] <happyponcho42> patrick_, http://ubuntuguide.org/ is a nice guide for you
[01:47] <Kyral> No UbuntuGUIDE!
[01:47] <quacker> tehsmo, Breezy or Dapper?
[01:47] <Dr_Willis> Azunai,  i followed that wiki. and it took me all of 2 min to get the ati drivers working right. If you cant get 3d support working with them. then you can write off playing 3d games.
[01:48] <tehsmo> 5.10?
[01:48] <happyponcho42> patrick_: http://ubuntuguide.org/#extrarepositories is to add the extra repositories
[01:48] <johndarkhorse> happyponcho42: please don't recommend ubuntuguide
[01:48] <johndarkhorse> !ubuntuguide
[01:48] <ubotu> from memory, ubuntuguide is out of date, reported to break a lot and generally a bad source for information. Use help.ubuntu.com or wiki.ubuntu.com instead
[01:48] <n00b> navarone, okay i found... now how do i make it so that it searches through both the thesaurus and the dictionary?
[01:48] <rixth> How can I find out how many file descriptors are in use?
[01:48] <Azunai> SOD that
[01:48] <Azunai> lol
[01:48] <Azunai> im gunna try again
[01:48] <Azunai> :D
[01:48] <Azunai> lol
[01:48] <happyponcho42> johndarkhorse, what's wrong with ubuntuguide?
[01:48] <JarG0n> Can anybody assist me in doing what's described here?  This bug is preventing me from launching quake 4 on Ubuntu.  http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/linux/quake4/#head-a0995b8d4f543e7cd8ceec66965708479f9ad7dc
[01:48] <quacker> Dr_Willis, not necessarily... sometimes Wine... jejeje...
[01:48] <tonyyarusso> happyponcho42, See the factoid ^^.
[01:48] <mint> So I have synaptics open, and the firefox folder here
[01:49] <happyponcho42> tonyyarusso, factoid?
[01:49] <happyponcho42> !ubuntuguide
[01:49] <ubotu> ubuntuguide is probably out of date, reported to break a lot and generally a bad source for information. Use help.ubuntu.com or wiki.ubuntu.com instead
[01:49] <mint> how do i get it to install
[01:49] <n00b> navarone, i figured that out... thanks for the help :)
[01:49] <happyponcho42> ah i see
[01:49] <tehsmo> hmm, xserver-xorg got the basics ..it didn't get 'startx', though, somehow
[01:49] <Dr_Willis> quacker,  with no 3d support. :O guess ya can  'wine sol.exe'
[01:49] <Dr_Willis> JarG0n,  yoyu been fighting all day now to get 1 game going. :P
[01:49] <navarone> n00b is it in the dictionary?
[01:49] <ki4ikl> does anyone know much about the spca5xx
[01:49] <oceandead> rahul - http://<IP_ADDRESS>/search?q=cache:5BZGkcPqasAJ:ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-83973.html+ubuntu+add+refresh+rate+modeline+xorg.conf&hl=en
[01:49] <patrick_> thanks I'll read it, happyponcho
[01:49] <Dr_Willis> JarG0n,  you have been trying to get the game installed longer then I actually Played that game
[01:49] <Dr_Willis> hee hee.
[01:50] <Azunai> Dr_willis: i think i messed up big style
[01:50] <n00b> navarone, yes it is
[01:50] <BrickMaker> why not Conexant modem drivers are built-in yet?
[01:50] <Azunai> before i did any of this i installed a driver from the ati site
[01:50] <Azunai> how do i uninstall it?
[01:50] <isador> hey all :P
[01:50] <keverets> no ideas on the cd-rw blanking front?
[01:50] <tonyyarusso> BrickMaker, Legality.
[01:50] <lysis> Azunai, you can't.  since you're running linux it's there forever!
[01:50] <JarG0n> Dr_Willis> That doesn't sound good!
[01:51] <zblach> why am i having so much trouble ripping a cd?
[01:51] <Dr_Willis> Azunai,  heh ..
[01:51] <Azunai> Lysis so i should do what? reinstall linux?
[01:51] <isador> im new to the whole linux thing and ive been trying to switch to root in ubuntu
[01:51] <quacker> Dr_Willis, have you read the latest press releases from Wine about benchmarks beating native win32 apps by up to 43% with the older 2D rendering methods (yeah, 'press releases', I know, I know...)
[01:51] <BrickMaker> tonyyarusso, yeah i buy the driver licence from the modem site but ubuntu must introduced
[01:51] <lysis> Azunai, it was a joke . . .     how did you install ati's driver?
[01:51] <Azunai> lol
[01:51] <tonyyarusso> !tell isador about root
[01:51] <Azunai> i been using linux like 40 mins :D
[01:51] <Kyral> BrickMaker: Doesn't matter if YOU bought it
[01:51] <Azunai> erm
[01:51] <isador> in the install , they didnt ask me for a root username and pass
[01:51] <Dr_Willis> Azunai,  you do NOT need to get stuff from the ati site - follow that wiki is what you need to do.
[01:51] <Azunai> i went to ati's site
[01:52] <Azunai> and downloaded the 32mb file
[01:52] <lysis> !tell isador about root
[01:52] <Azunai> then went into console
[01:52] <Kyral> BrickMaker: it matters that distributiing it wihtout paying is illegal
[01:52] <quacker> Azunai, NONONONO
[01:52] <Azunai> and did ./ati driver
[01:52] <BrickMaker> Kyral, matter because linux is known as open source and its cost nothing
[01:52] <Azunai> so is there a way i can remove that
[01:52] <Kyral> BrickMaker: Linux is
[01:52] <tonyyarusso> BrickMaker, As much as we might like them to be included in Ubuntu, it's simply not possible, unless you can convince Conexant to change their minds.
[01:52] <Dr_Willis> quacker,  :P dosbox - has all the games we need!
[01:52] <Kyral> BrickMaker: the driver may not be ;P
[01:52] <Dr_Willis> Azunai,  dident follow the wiki then eh?
[01:52] <BrickMaker> so drivers and other stuff must be in free as well
[01:52] <Azunai> yeah
[01:52] <Kyral> BrickMaker: Bingo
[01:52] <quacker> Dr_Willis, Amen, brother Dr_Willis
[01:52] <happyponcho42> Has anyone attempted to run AOL through wine?
[01:52] <patrick_> hey it says those repositores don't exist
[01:52] <Azunai> i did dr willis but for some reason x wouldnt load?
[01:52] <JarG0n> Dr_Willis: Can you help? :(
[01:52] <BrickMaker> lol
[01:52] <tonyyarusso> BrickMaker, If you'd like to pay the $20 for every person who installs Ubuntu though, be my guest.
[01:53] <happyponcho42> My family members refuse to tryout Linux without AOL.
[01:53] <BrickMaker> lol
[01:53] <Dr_Willis> JarG0n,  proberly not.  since i dont know exactly what yoru problem is.
[01:53] <quacker> Dr_Willis, actually, I play NWN on Linux, but that has native Linux binaries
[01:53] <Parsnip> lo aach
[01:53] <BrickMaker> i pay 14$ i think for getting conexant modem driver licence
[01:53] <Kyral> happyponcho42: shoot them?
[01:53] <lysis> happyponcho42, tell them aol is the devil.   and it's too expensive . . .
[01:53] <Dr_Willis> JarG0n,  is there a quake4 demo you are using? or the official one?
[01:53] <Parsnip> if im running the amd64 ubuntu woody distro
[01:53] <navarone> happyponcho42, I highly doubt it will work...probablty not even thru wine
[01:53] <Dr_Willis> quacker,  i need to try that out some time.. i got it some where in this pile of disks
[01:53] <Kyral> Parsnip: amd?
[01:53] <Parsnip> do i need to download the windows64 bit drivers
[01:53] <phaed> What is the estimate on how many people use Ubuntu now?
[01:53] <dwerf> i came up with a nickname for Windows: SMODNIM. get it?
[01:53] <happyponcho42> ah ok
[01:53] <tehsmo> if they insist that much on aol, I think they're a lost cause regarding linux
[01:53] <mint> Kyral: how do i load the new firefix into synaptics?
[01:53] <JarG0n> DR_Willis: On that url I posted above, it gives the bug listed.  THe exact error I get is "./quake4.x86: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[01:53] <JarG0n> "
[01:53] <patrick_> happyponcho42, it says those repositories no longer exist.
[01:53] <BrickMaker> what if ubuntu team introduced conexant modem drivers for free as built-in
[01:54] <lysis> phaed, 42.
[01:54] <Kyral> mint: use Dapper
[01:54] <Azunai> can i somhow uninstall this ati driver i installed so i can do the other installl dr willis or do i just do that other install anyways
[01:54] <Parsnip> as my acer supports both 64bit and 32bit
[01:54] <mint> whats Dapper
[01:54] <Kyral> mint: I will not explain how to in Breezy because of Breakage
[01:54] <Kyral> !dapper
[01:54] <ubotu> methinks dapper is The 6.04 version of Ubuntu will be called the "Dapper Drake" release. Release date April 20, 2006. Not before. It is NOT ready for use.  Use it at your _own_ risk, when it breaks you need to be able to fix it yourself.
[01:54] <lysis> mint, dapper is the new release, coming out in april
[01:54] <Parsnip> can anyone please advise?
[01:54] <lysis> mint, i wouldn't recommend dapper since it's in development.
[01:54] <Azunai> i have the latest release
[01:54] <Dr_Willis> !info libSDL
[01:54] <mint> Kyral: i dont follow
[01:54] <lysis> Parsnip, what's up?
[01:54] <Azunai> i think
[01:54] <happyponcho42> patrick_, I'm sorry, disregard ubuntuguide
[01:55] <mint> im just starting on linux
[01:55] <mint> first day
[01:55] <Azunai> i know the feeling mint
[01:55] <happyponcho42> patrick_, if only the forums were back :(
[01:55] <mint> and i just want to install the new firefox
[01:55] <lysis> mint, congrats!
[01:55] <tonyyarusso> mint, Good for you!
[01:55] <Kyral> mint: Firefox reaches deep into Ubuntu, a lot of things depend on it
[01:55] <Parsnip> lysis, If im installing kubuntu on amd64 and have the amd64 breezy installed
[01:55] <Boki> hello
[01:55] <mint> so its not easy to just upgrade it?
[01:55] <Kyral> mint: if something changes wrong, then massive breakage could happen
[01:55] <lysis> Parsnip, i'm not seeing a question in what you're saying.
[01:55] <Parsnip> lysis, do i need the 64bit drivers from my lappys manufacturers site
[01:55] <patrick_> happyponcho42, is it because I'm on the 5.10 and those are refering to 5.04?
[01:55] <mint> its a VMWare machine
[01:55] <mint> i dont care
[01:55] <Kyral> mint: not Firefox
[01:55] <Boki> what is going on with ubuntu forums?
[01:55] <Dr_Willis> JarG0n,   fire up synaptic and isntall the libsdl stuff I guess. :P
[01:55] <Parsnip> as both 64bit and 32bit are catered for
[01:56] <quacker> Dr_Willis, it's a'rush' just having your version listed as 'Neverwinter Nights-Linux-x.y.z' on matching services
[01:56] <BrickMaker> ubuntu is most useable os now a days in world
[01:56] <dwerf> WINDOWS = SMODNIM
[01:56] <lysis> Parsnip, does your laptop produce 64bit drivers for linux?   and does ubuntu have support for you right now with amd64 with breezy 64?
[01:56] <Kyral> Boki: they are movng to another server
[01:56] <quacker> TAKE THAT< BILL!!
[01:56] <Boki> Thanks
[01:56] <happyponcho42> patrick_, type !ubuntuguide
[01:56] <lysis> !tell patrick_ about ubuntuguide
[01:56] <Parsnip> lysis, im having to use ndiswrapper for my wifi as its a broadcom (grr)
[01:56] <patrick_> 1ubuntuguide
[01:56] <JarG0n> Dr_Willis: It's already installed, but there's a bug in it.  THese instructions tell me to install something as an alternative " Some Debian and Debian-based distributions ( like Ubuntu ) are crashing during startup. It appears this is caused by the SDL packages selection. You need to install libsdl1.2debian-alsa or libsdl1.2debian-oss instead of libsdl1.2debian-all. "
[01:56] <Azunai> Dr_willis: ive done everything in that top part of that link u sent me
[01:56] <patrick_> hmm
[01:56] <Parsnip> lysis, will either driver do?
[01:56] <patrick_> !ubuntuguide
[01:56] <ubotu> hmm... ubuntuguide is out of date, reported to break a lot and generally a bad source for information. Use help.ubuntu.com or wiki.ubuntu.com instead
[01:56] <puff-NNY> Hi, im somewhat new to IRC and linux raiding. i'm trying to raid two sata drives. The onboard promise and intel raid controllers didnt seem to work in the ubuntu setup since i still saw the drives individually (mobo is asus PC-DL Delux). So now im trying to do a software raid in the ubuntu install. Would anybody mind helping me with this issue and possibly walking me through it?
[01:56] <patrick_> oookay
[01:56] <patrick_> lol
[01:57] <Azunai> Dr_willis: but when i reboot it will not load x u any ideas why?
[01:57] <lysis> Parsnip, i unfortunately don't know. =(        you CAN use 32bit.   32bit has MUCH more support and a million times more applications.   apps designed for 32bit might not work / have a 64bit version.   please keep that in mind.
[01:57] <happyponcho42> patrick_, there are a lot of nice how-to's on the forums, if you can wait til they come back online, you can find your answer there
[01:57] <lysis> 32bit will still run amazingly.
[01:57] <Boki> does anyone know where I could download icon manager for gnome? the link was on forums but it is inaccessible now
[01:57] <Dr_Willis> JarG0n,  try apt-get install libsdl1.2debian-alsa
[01:57] <happyponcho42> patrick_, otherwise, I'm not sure how detailed of a tutorial i can type up in a chat
[01:57] <drummer87> hi, i've just done a fresh install of breezy and have no sound... dunno what to do.
[01:57] <Parsnip> lysis, i understand, thanks for the spot
[01:57] <JarG0n> ok
[01:57] <Dr_Willis> Azunai,  my guess is - either you missed a step.. or that card is not supported.
[01:58] <Azunai> how can it not be supported?
[01:58] <happyponcho42> patrick_, what kind of files are you trying to play?
[01:58] <Azunai> its an X850XT PE
[01:58] <Dr_Willis> Azunai,  that leaves you Missing a step then
[01:58] <mint> (mint@MINTx:~$
[01:58] <mint> ) how do i get into the desktop
[01:58] <lysis> Azunai, as a whole, ATi cards just do NOT perform well in linux.
[01:58] <mint> to show the content
[01:58] <mint> s
[01:58] <patrick_> happyponcho42, MP3s Divx encoded movies
[01:58] <lysis> mint, type 'startx'
[01:58] <JarG0n> Dr_Willis: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[01:58] <JarG0n> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[01:58] <Azunai> but i cant afford a crapy nvidia card :(
[01:58] <lysis> Azunai, what game you going for?
[01:58] <Kyral> NVidia != crap ;P
[01:59] <Parsnip> mmmm 7800GTX Black pearl 512Mb (water cooled as standard)
[01:59] <mint> xauth:  creating new authority file /home/mint/.serverauth.7614
[01:59] <mint> X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting.
[01:59] <drummer87> pls help... are there extra modules i need? i can't remember from my previous install.
[01:59] <Parsnip> tasty tasty
[01:59] <mint> how am i not authorized
[01:59] <patrick_> Radeon = Booya
[01:59] <drummer87> it's onboard sound on an nForce3 mobo
[01:59] <Azunai> Lysis: Counter-Strike Source, WOW and Quake 3 ut2k4 aswell but thats native linux
[01:59] <GameOver69> hey i have installed ndiswrapper properly and my wireless works... and i set up the interfaces file as i am supposed to... but my wlan0 wont boot up with the computer i always have to type dhclient wlan0 in the terminal
[01:59] <lysis> Kyral, not in linux.   AND nvidia has blown away ati for 3/4 of 2005.   just now finally ati is COMPARABLE.
[01:59] <Boki> how to get icon manager for Gnome anyone?
[01:59] <Kyral> mint: in a VM things goes sketchy
[01:59] <Kyral> lysis: I said !=
[01:59] <lysis> Azunai, you might consider selling you 850 on ebay and picking up an nvidia friend.
[01:59] <GameOver69> anyone know how to have it start up properly
[01:59] <Kyral> != means NOT Equal
[01:59] <ubotu> Kyral: Did you get hit by a windmill?
[01:59] <happyponcho42> patrick_, try https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[02:00] <adub> does anyone run vmware??
[02:00] <happyponcho42> patrick_, there's a lot of information there
[02:00] <drummer87> and forums are sown :( so can't get help there
[02:00] <lysis> Kyral, i guess i'm not following.  lol
[02:00] <puff-NNY> Would somebody be so kind as to help me setup software raid in the ubuntu install?
[02:00] <Azunai> Lysis i payed 400 for this card il get like 100 on ebay :S its just not worth it
[02:00] <patrick_> happyponcho42, after i finally get this working I can get my soundblaster 24bit to show up instead of it detecting as audigy LS
[02:00] <lysis> Kyral, i was unaware that != meant not equal . . .
[02:00] <happyponcho42> patrick_, scroll down to the section titled The Codecs and that's where w32codecs come up
[02:00] <MrRio> how do i use kde and gnome together on ubuntu? which package do i need to install?
[02:00] <happyponcho42> patrick_, was that a question?
[02:00] <lysis> Azunai, why'd you pay $400 for it?   you can buy it right now from ati's site for under 2
[02:01] <drummer87> MrRio, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[02:01] <drummer87> or ubuntu-desktop if u have kubuntu
[02:01] <drummer87> and u can select from gdm
[02:01] <mint> by default should I have permission to run StartX
[02:01] <Azunai> Lysis no mines an ATI X850 XT Platinum Edition (by saphire) its a little better than the one on the ati site :)
[02:01] <mint> or do i need to adjust something
[02:01] <ali_> anyone here use gnu mailman? i'm wondering how to restrict addresses tha can send to the list. anyone got any ideas?
[02:01] <Azunai> lsysis: its also about 3 months old now :)
[02:01] <lysis> Azunai, fair enough . . .  it still unfortunately won't perform well in linux.
[02:02] <patrick_> happyponcho42, kind of but not really the main concern at the moment, I have sound and it works correctly.  I just want to make sure its detected correctly, but as long as it works good, it's ok for now.
[02:02] <ali_> lysis: why not? don't the ati drivers work for it?
[02:02] <Azunai> lysis: that sucks if these flgrx drivers wont work should i try the latest ones from the ati site?
[02:02] <lysis> ali_, the drivers work but ati isn't putting time or effort into making it as rock solid as it is in windows.  nvidia can make their cards outperform windows . . .
[02:02] <navarone> patrick try "lspci -l | grep audio"  in termianl should come back with your audio device
[02:03] <happyponcho42> patrick_, ah sorry, i wasn't sure if it was a 'i can' or 'can i'.  i honestly have no idea regarding sound, perhaps someone else can chime in to assist you
[02:03] <lysis> ali_, it's a lose lose situation either way, definitely install fglrx like the wiki says.
[02:03] <Azunai> lysis: and if x doesnt load?
[02:03] <ali_> lysis: oh i don't have an ati card :)
[02:03] <lysis> ali_, if you want to game, i have no good news for you.  i tried cedega, crossover office, wine, everything . . .
[02:03] <lysis> Azunai, i'm sorry?
[02:04] <ali_> lysis: thats why I've got an xbox :)
[02:04] <Aaron_Mason> hey all
[02:04] <patrick_> happyponcho42, Well I'm pretty sure it's suppose to show up as the audigy LS, considering it's the exact same chip set.
[02:04] <Azunai> lysis if X doesnt load this time should i just try intaling the ATI drivers?
[02:04] <lysis> ali_, me too =)
[02:04] <isador> DAMN , cant anyone tell me how to switch to root ???
[02:04] <ali_> lysis: :D
[02:04] <Azunai> ali: theres no CSS or WOW on xbox tho :)
[02:04] <Azunai> isador
[02:04] <Aaron_Mason> isador, sudo your commands
[02:04] <lysis> Azunai, i do not recommend using the ati drivers.   if you follow the directions in the wiki TO A TEE then you should have no problems.
[02:04] <ali_> isador: sure i can, but thats no reason to scream
[02:04] <Azunai> Sudo su
[02:04] <navarone> patrick_ try "lspci -l | grep audio" to see if it lists the correct device
[02:04] <isador> ...
[02:04] <isador> im TOTALLY new
[02:04] <lysis> Azunai, we don't like those games.  haha
[02:04] <cr1mson> How do I install Add Application to the GNOME panel?
[02:04] <oceandead> by default there is no root account - use sudo instead
[02:04] <Aaron_Mason> oh, snap
[02:04] <lysis> isador, root is disabled.
[02:04] <ali_> Azunai: haha don't say that!! :)
[02:04] <isador> so i dont even know how to input thoz commands
[02:04] <tonyyarusso> isador, Then you shouldn't be switching to root.
[02:04] <Aaron_Mason> so you can get into root access
[02:05] <mint> Az
[02:05] <Azunai> lysis: i copied and pasted every single command in the thing first i did apt-get install the new kernal thing
[02:05] <puff-NNY> Anybody here that would be kind enough to take some time and help me with a raid setup?
[02:05] <mint> did u have any problems with the StartX
[02:05] <isador> ... im trying to switch to root cuz i cant do anything without it
[02:05] <Azunai> then xorg-driver
[02:05] <tonyyarusso> isador, sudo does everything.
[02:05] <lysis> Azunai, that could've been the problem.  i skipped the kernel portion and it worked PERFECTLY for me.
[02:05] <oceandead> isador - sudo
[02:05] <ali_> isador: do you want to do something in gnome or on the command line
[02:05] <isador> ...
[02:05] <Soson> Hi
[02:05] <Aaron_Mason> does anybody know why RhythmBox won't take my mp3 files? it just says "file is not a valid audio stream"
[02:05] <lysis> isador, you should be using sudo.  not root.   root = disabled.
[02:05] <isador> how am i supposed to input that ocmmand ???
[02:05] <ali_> Aaron_mason: you don't have the mp3 codec installed
[02:05] <Azunai> lysis: Oh? i did everything it said
[02:05] <isador> command*
[02:05] <Aaron_Mason> ah
[02:06] <tonyyarusso> isador, Just put sudo in front of any command.
[02:06] <oceandead> Aaron_Mason, you have to have mp3 codec installed
[02:06] <askjivez> Does anyone know how to get Teamspeak to recognize my microphone?
[02:06] <Aaron_Mason> i'm new to ubuntu, where do I go to get it?
[02:06] <lysis> Azunai, i have a 9550 (budget line card . . . hehehe)   and i am running 16x12 on the desktop, gdesklets, all kinds of effects.  really working great
[02:06] <Azunai> lysis: so if it fails to load x should i just reinstall ubuntu and try it without the kernel updae?
[02:06] <ali_> Aaron_Mason: hold on a sec i'll tell ya
[02:06] <navarone> !mp3
[02:06] <ubotu> I heard mp3 is a non-free format. To enable mp3 capability, read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[02:06] <nandro> can anyone tell me where I can get Automatix? seems the forums have been down for a whle
[02:06] <lysis> Azunai, i might suggest that.  but i'm also one who has an unlimited amount of time for this. hehe
[02:06] <Kyral> Automatix == Bad
[02:06] <owner> nandro, they should be up
[02:06] <ali_> Aaron_Mason: go to the ubotu link
[02:06] <owner> kyral lol
[02:06] <Soson> anyone knows how can I turn on ubuntu without having the pc connecting to the network? I mean, when booting ubuntu it says "Waiting for networking interface to come up"...How can I "delete" this step
[02:06] <nandro> just tried, no luck
[02:07] <tonyyarusso> !automatix
[02:07] <ubotu> it has been said that automatix is messy, breaks all sorts of security guidelines, and is not open to improvement. In short: DO NOT USE IT!
[02:07] <lysis> how do i check to see if fglrx is working properly again?   it checked for rendering or something . . . it had a | grep    in it . . .
[02:07] <askjivez> !teamspeak
[02:07] <ubotu> askjivez: Bugger all, i dunno
[02:07] <Azunai> lysis im a webdesigner lol all i do is work from home i have all the time in the world just STAY ONLINE lol
[02:07] <isador> sudo: ./NVIDIA.run: command not found

[02:07] <isador> ...
[02:07] <Soson> anyone knows how can I turn on ubuntu without having the pc connecting to the network? I mean, when booting ubuntu it says "Waiting for networking interface to come up"...How can I "delete" this step
[02:07] <askjivez> Can anyone help me get my mic to work in Teamspeak?
[02:07] <mint> how do i change to the root int he terminal window
[02:07] <happyponcho42> Anyone experience the problem where you when you type n, it sometimes doesn't show up?  I'm always in the middle of typing something and at the end, i realize all the n's are missing
[02:07] <Azunai> do you actualy have to reboot ur os or can u just reboot X lysis?
[02:07] <askjivez> mint, type su
[02:07] <lysis> isador, type sudo chmod +x NVIDIA.run        then ./NVIDIA.run         CAPS MATTER
[02:07] <nandro>  !automatix
[02:07] <ubotu> hmm... automatix is messy, breaks all sorts of security guidelines, and is not open to improvement. In short: DO NOT USE IT!
[02:07] <jerham2651> ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-8178-pkg2.run
[02:07] <navarone> Azunai...you made me jealous...<s>
[02:07] <lysis> Azunai, ubuntu by default boots into x
[02:07] <Steil> mint: sudo -s
[02:07] <oceandead> askjivez - have you checked the teamspeak forum ?
[02:08] <lysis> i have to login, but i'm logging into an x server screen.
[02:08] <mint> is ther a default pass
[02:08] <mint> or something
[02:08] <Azunai> navarone: sorry :)
[02:08] <Steil> mint: to use su you need to set a root password which isn't recommended, just type sudo -s
[02:08] <nandro> ok, then whats the best way to install FF 1.5?
[02:08] <Steil> and then it's your regular password
[02:08] <mint> k
[02:08] <patrick_> I wish the redownload of w32codecs file wouldn't take this long.  an annoying 15.3 KB/Sec speed.  Probably because of that retard friend of mine who has overbloated Windows XP and his file share P2P crap always running.
[02:08] <navarone> Azunai...no that's okay...I'll live vicariously thru you...<sigh>
[02:08] <Azunai> lysis: yeah but cant i just ctrl +alt + bkspc instead of reboot :)
[02:08] <tonyyarusso> !firefox1.5
[02:08] <ubotu> You can use firefox 1.5 by following this wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion
[02:08] <mint> it switched to root with sudo -s
[02:08] <tonyyarusso> nandro, ^^
[02:08] <lysis> Azunai, no.
[02:08] <mint> k
[02:08] <isador> it says im running a Xserver or sumthing like that
[02:08] <lysis> Azunai, you must reboot so it will load the modules.
[02:08] <nandro> ty
[02:08] <isador> and the driver wont install
[02:09] <Azunai> navarone: if u need a site building u know were to come heh
[02:09] <isador> how do i switch to non-graphical mode?
[02:09] <lysis> isador, you must ctrl + alt + backspace to stop running the xserver
[02:09] <Steil> happyponcho42: It's probably a problem with your keyboard....
[02:09] <mint> So there is no "Easy Way" speaking with synaptics to install firefox, but other protrams there are??
[02:09] <isador> k
[02:09] <lysis> then do it from command line
[02:09] <lysis> reboot
[02:09] <lysis> then all will be good
[02:09] <Azunai> lysis: il be back asap i need to reboot :)
[02:09] <lysis> Azunai, i may be away but i'll look for flashing
[02:09] <Azunai> stay online please :)
[02:09] <jerham2651> ff installed fine for me
[02:09] <Azunai> brb
[02:10] <happyponcho42> Steil, it doesn't occur in Windows, but in Linux, it's an often occurence
[02:10] <tonyyarusso> mint, ff1.07 is fine with synaptic, 1.5 isn't.
[02:10] <mint> hmm
[02:10] <Steil> happyponcho42: No idea then, sorry
[02:10] <navarone> isador...if you want no gui at all there is a command to kill the gdm and then you can ctrl-alt-f2 to a text terminla and work thru there
[02:10] <puff-NNY> Anybody here that would be kind enough to take some time and help me with a raid setup?
[02:10] <patrick_> Would be nice if the Ubuntu repository had the FireFox 1.5 in there.  I had to update from 1.07 to 1.5 the hard way.
[02:10] <happyponcho42> Steil, no problem, it's not that big of an issue, but rather one that annoys me every so often.
[02:10] <mint> can i run all of this for FF1.5 as...  root@MINTx:~#
[02:10] <Aaron_Mason> ok, I can't get the package - I run apt-get but I get this error: W: Couldn't stat source package list http://archive.ubuntu.com breezy/universe Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_breezy_universe_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
[02:11] <tonyyarusso> patrick_, Dapper will have it.
[02:11] <chemical_ds> can anbody tell me how to configure my firewall so that i can ping hosts on my lan by their name?
[02:11] <chemical_ds> i've tried editing /etc/hosts on the firewall, but that didn't seem to work. btw i'm using dnsmasq.
[02:11] <oceandead> askjivez, after youve checked the ts forums (theres lots of posts there about getting it to work) - you may also try googling for teamspeak happy esd alsa  and use the google cache to the howto from the ubuntuforums
[02:11] <ali_> chemical_ds: you only need to put them in your hosts file
[02:11] <ali_> chemical_ds: at /etc/hosts
[02:12] <chemical_ds> ali_: hmm ok i'll give it another try
[02:12] <Aaron_Mason> i got the same error when I load the Package Manager these days
[02:12] <patrick_> while i'm waiting for a download, anyone know how I can limit the refreshrate? My monitor can go up higher then was recommended, I want to cap it if it's possible.
[02:12] <j2daosh> hows it going everyone... got a question about sql... postgre sql to be specific... if i input a mp3 table in my database... can i play the mp3's from the database or will it just give me information about the mp3 and give me beter search options?
[02:12] <glacious> so does HL2 / Day of Defeat Source run well in Ubuntu /w an ATI card?
[02:13] <ali_> chemical_ds: it's simple you just put in the address and the name like this "<IP_ADDRESS> ali" then if i type, "ping ali" it'll ping the 192.... address
[02:13] <glacious> i think it may be my last step to a full move to linux... again.
[02:13] <Aaron_Mason> ah, gotta download the lists.  belh
[02:13] <Aaron_Mason> *blegh
[02:13] <BrickMaker> how can i give better look to my desktop

[02:16] <ali_> insomniac_: yes
[02:17] <insomniac_> i have a second hard drive that I want to change the permissions to allow me to write files, but when i try "chmod" it tells me that the drive is a "read-only" file system
[02:17] <adam__> R the ubuntu forums down?
[02:17] <ali_> insomniac_: ok thats not the permissions, but how its mounted.
[02:17] <insomniac_> okay
[02:17] <BrickMaker> ali_, show me your desktop screen shot
[02:18] <oceandead> http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/faqguide-all.html#fg-windows-partitions
[02:18] <johndarkhorse> insomniac_: if it's a ntfs drive you may destroy data by writing to it
[02:18] <ali_> BrickMaker: ok hold on, i'm on my gf's mac atm
[02:18] <mcdenyer> !srs
[02:18] <ubotu> mcdenyer: My cat's name is Mittens!

[02:19] <oceandead> i have - eh no biggie
[02:19] <johndarkhorse> insomniac_: then you should fix your permissions in your /etc/fstab (indiscrimanate use of 'chmod' will surely botch your system)
[02:19] <BrickMaker> lol
[02:19] <mint> anyone know why things dont minimize to taskbar?
[02:19] <ali_> BrickMaker: i'll just go down stairs, i'll be called johnnybezak when i login from down there

[02:20] <puff-NNY> could somebody please help me with how to setup raid?
[02:20] <johndarkhorse> !pastebin
[02:20] <ubotu> [pastebin]  a site where you can post large texts and screenshots so you don't flood the channel. You can find it at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[02:20] <oceandead> fstab is a file - basically tells ubuntu what to mount at boot - and how it will be mounted
[02:20] <BrickMaker> ali_,  you a muslim and from australia?
[02:20] <johndarkhorse> insomniac_: pastebin your /etc/fstab please
[02:20] <n00b> lol brickmaker wtf?
[02:20] <insomniac_> johndarkhorse, not sure what that means, but the line w/ this drive is this
[02:20] <insomniac_> "/dev/hdb1       /mnt/storage    vfat    defaults,uid=rradjabi,gid=users 0 0"

[02:22] <oceandead> nope imexius :(
[02:22] <cactii> I can't write to my Creative Labs Muvo MP3 player...
[02:22] <imexius> ah
[02:22] <n00b> glacious, thats how i downloaded mine
[02:22] <glacious> n00b: i have the time demo running.  but it makes you reinstall all the games.  i have a copy of my Valve dir /w HL2 and Dod:S.
[02:22] <tonyyarusso> n00b, Are we advocating piracy now, or is this the cvs version?
[02:22] <glacious> n00b: but don't you have to pay for a subscription?
[02:22] <imexius> im making a new version of cedega called Shaddeggha
[02:22] <Bizzeh> does ubuntu, or linux its self support MTP (PlayForSure Media Transfer Protocol)
[02:22] <n00b> glacious, not if you don't want to
[02:23] <glacious> what is a good CD / DVD burning program?
[02:23] <eli> anyone know how long ubuntuforums will be down?
[02:23] <n00b> tonyyarusso, no this isn't pircay
[02:23] <mcdenyer> tonyyarusso, ok hey how do  i install the gstreamer plugin for firefox?
[02:23] <imexius> ubuntuforums is permanently down
[02:23] <oceandead> gnomebaker (gnome) or k3b (kde)
[02:23] <eli> what???
[02:23] <nofear> glacious, kb3
[02:23] <glacious> oceandead: thank you
[02:23] <glacious> nofear: kb3 work well in gnome?
[02:23] <eli> no, are you serious that ubuntuforums is permanently down?
[02:23] <kasemodz> does anyone know why ubuntu forums has been going down lately
[02:23] <oceandead> kb3 for kde
[02:24] <kasemodz> it has gone down pretty much everyday
[02:24] <eli> lack of funding i would assume?
[02:24] <oceandead> though - if you take care of dependencies - it will work
[02:24] <tonyyarusso> mcdenyer, sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.8* mozilla-mplayer
[02:24] <n00b> guys is windows > ubuntu?
[02:24] <nekostar> o.o
[02:24] <glacious> oceandead: i run gnome here, i'll give gnomebaker a try.
[02:24] <Remillard> is there a known problem with getting networking up and running?
[02:24] <glacious> most people run KDE over gnome here?
[02:24] <ppjd0tz9> yeah thats why we're sitting in #ubuntu
[02:24] <nekostar> glacious,
[02:24] <nekostar> dont do that
[02:24] <eli> gnome
[02:24] <glacious> nekostar: ?
[02:24] <oceandead> i use gnome/gnomebaker
[02:24] <n00b> i run gnome
[02:24] <happyponcho42> gnome here
[02:24] <n00b> gnome > kDE
[02:24] <eli> enlightenment actually
[02:24] <nekostar> your just inviting errors on burns
[02:25] <kasemodz> has anyone done that HOWTO: Server Side VNC Client in ubuntu forums
[02:25] <n00b> KDE reminds me of windows... its sooo bulky
[02:25] <nekostar> use something that has error checking
[02:25] <nekostar> i usually install k3b
[02:25] <glacious> nekostar: ok.  well i have a few large files i neede burned onto a DVD.  what should i use?
[02:25] <ppjd0tz9> fluxbox baby
[02:25] <kasemodz> the one where the guy downloads a vncviewer and modidys it
[02:25] <nekostar> and yes i run gnome too
[02:25] <glacious> n00b: that was my impression as well.  pretty tho =)  but apparently gnome has some pimp themes.
[02:25] <mint> /opt/firefox/firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[02:25] <happyponcho42> Nekos, are you referring to Gnomebaker to burn cd's?
[02:25] <nekostar> yeah
[02:25] <mint> is that from the updrade ?
[02:25] <happyponcho42> I've also had bad luck with cd's burned through there
[02:25] <nekostar> im saying dont use it
[02:25] <glacious> nekostar: so gnomebaker is not a good CD program?
[02:26] <happyponcho42> Nekos, what othe rprogram do you recommend?
[02:26] <nekostar> without error checking no program is good
[02:26] <nekostar> k3b works awesome
[02:26] <happyponcho42> glacious, i've also experienced many dead cd's from gnomebaker
[02:26] <^Ocean^> Okay, With Disk Manager How come udner speed: it says "Not Avalilable" for my hard drives ?
[02:26] <glacious> nekostar: so can k3b work in gnome?
[02:26] <mcdenyer> tonyyarusso, ok once i install it how do i get firefox to use it?
[02:26] <nekostar> yup
[02:26] <nekostar> works great :)
[02:26] <glacious> happyponcho42: ok.  i'll avoid it :)
[02:26] <mc|amb> yes
[02:26] <nekostar> sudo apt-get install k3b
[02:26] <glacious> nekostar: sounds like a plan, ty.
[02:26] <nekostar> np
[02:26] <mcdenyer> tonyyarusso, after i did that it still tries to play it with totem
[02:26] <nekostar> ive got a few TB of stuff
[02:26] <happyponcho42> excellent, k3b is in the repos.
[02:26] <tonyyarusso> mcdenyer, Either it will automatically, or you'll have to make the symlinks as before.
[02:26] <nekostar> burned and well
[02:26] <Remillard> anyhow, I'll just throw this out there.  Installed ubuntu from the install cd... seems to identify the network card, and I can set up my static route information, however it doesn't connect.  DHCP also does not work.  Exact information works on my gentoo partition, so fairly certain it's not hardware... is there some way of diagnosing this?
[02:26] <nekostar> errors piss me off
[02:26] <n00b> glacious: yes gnome is sweet... check out art.gnome.org you can get lots of cool stuff from there
[02:26] <happyponcho42> sudo apt-get install k3b
[02:26] <tonyyarusso> mcdenyer, Ah, that part.
[02:27] <tonyyarusso> mcdenyer, Remove the totem symlinks too.
[02:27] <nekostar> n00b, there is a package for that actually
[02:27] <nekostar> sudo apt-get install gnome-art
[02:27] <nekostar> i recommend:
[02:27] <tonyyarusso> mcdenyer, In /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/, rm the two with 'totem' in their name.
[02:27] <mcdenyer> !multimedia
[02:27] <ubotu> well, multimedia is for codecs, http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/ch03.html#sect-music-and-movies ; and for applications, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultimediaApplications
[02:27] <glacious> n00b: w00t! thank you sir.
[02:27] <johnnybezak> who was it that wanted a screenshot of my desktop ( i was ali_)
[02:27] <nekostar> sudo apt-get install gnome-art k3b totem-xine xine-ui
[02:27] <nekostar> :)
[02:27] <mcdenyer> tonyyarusso, ok one sec
[02:27] <JDigital> KDE is very Windows-like. Gnome reminds me a little of Mac or Amiga but they just keep ripping things from Windows so it loses something
[02:27] <mint> FF wont even open now
[02:27] <JDigital> and it only rips half the things from Windows so it feels lacking
[02:28] <mint> and i followed this tutorial exactyl
[02:28] <JDigital> which tutorial
[02:28] <glacious> and use openoffice for a MS Office compatible office suite?
[02:28] <_jason>  /last mint 10
[02:28] <johnnybezak> gnome doesn't look like windows at all
[02:28] <beelzebub1987> nah
[02:28] <beelzebub1987> but check this out
[02:28] <imexius> if gnome looked like windows i would quit using gnome
[02:28] <beelzebub1987> I made gnome look like Os X
[02:28] <n00b> nekostar, does that install everything?
[02:28] <JDigital> Some Gnome features work the same as in Windows
[02:28] <beelzebub1987> http://beelzebub1987.servehttp.com/Screenshot.png
[02:29] <beelzebub1987> that's my Ubuntu desktop
[02:29] <nekostar> n00b, yeah
[02:29] <glacious> wow, to install k3b, it has like 15 dependencies.  basically like installing KDE =(
[02:29] <n00b> nekostar, kewl
[02:29] <mint> how can i restore my firefox?
[02:29] <johndarkhorse> insomniac_: "/dev/hdb1       /mnt/storage    vfat    ro,umask=000   0 0"
[02:29] <nekostar> that installs the packages named and the dependancies
[02:29] <johnnybezak> glacious: yeah sucks hey
[02:29] <mint> now that it wont even open
[02:29] <johndarkhorse> insomniac_: i'm sorry, im in an office atm
[02:29] <insomniac_> that's cool
[02:29] <johndarkhorse> insomniac_: it should be rw,umask=000
[02:29] <glacious> johnnybezak: oh well.  just a one time deal i guess to get all KDE apps working in gnome.
[02:29] <BrickMaker> now let me know how to use that theme

[02:30] <nekostar> but its not the same
[02:30] <_jason> mint: so that means you installed the package libstdc++5 ?
[02:30] <JDigital> so I use the default client
[02:30] <nekostar> try sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[02:30] <johnnybezak> glacious: yep thats the deal

[02:30] <Remillard> hm, no ideas on network... ahh well
[02:30] <glacious> if i remove the Dapper Drake CD rom from the sources.list, will it stop asking me to insert it?

[02:31] <eli> ati?
[02:31] <glacious> and just download everything?
[02:31] <mint> could kinda use some help

[02:32] <glacious> any good DVD authoring programs for gnome?  Like take multiple DivX and make it into a multi-show DVD for DVD players?

[02:32] <n00b> ZOMG CHECK OUT THE BACKGROUNDS AT ART.GNOME.ORG
[02:32] <mint> is that something thats in synaptics
[02:32] <tonyyarusso> mcdenyer, The two with totem in their name, whatever those are.
[02:32] <^Ocean^> is there a program to test how many MB/S my HD is read/writeing at ?
[02:32] <mint> that i can just install
[02:32] <mcdenyer> tonyyarusso, theres 4
[02:32] <Bizzeh> johndarkhorse: aparently not, you need /lib/modules/kernelname/build dir to build them, which i dont have. and if a module is compiled for a amd64 kernel, then i get the same kernel, but smp, wouldnt the module still work?
[02:32] <johndarkhorse> glacious: try 'dvdauthor
[02:32] <tonyyarusso> mcdenyer, Okay, then all four.
