[19:37] <eeeandrew> skel: I've had an idea...is it possible to get other drivers instead of the autoloaded ones and try them?
[19:38] <robdig> sladjan: what is your question
[19:38] <malakar> mac mini without monitor has anybody tried?
[19:38] <brobostigon> hi, is there a prog i can use to monitor and record from a webcam, like a security camera does.??
[19:38] <sladjan> rodbig i can play sound but i dint hear music
[19:39] <thor> brobostigon: check the program 'webcam' I have it running on 7.10
[19:39] <sladjan> and video is not reproducing
[19:39] <kane77> sladjan, do you have codecs installed?
[19:39] <sladjan> yes
[19:39] <brandon_> kane77, i added that command to the end of my WoW desktop icon but i still get unable to start up 3d acceleration because of xgl
[19:39] <kane77> brandon_, you should run that first...
[19:39] <malakar> my mac mini is refusing to boot ubuntu without the monitor attached
[19:40] <brandon_> kane77, im lost :)
[19:40] <sladjan> also i have problems with setting the appereance
[19:40] <kane77> brandon_, does the game run if you disable compiz?
[19:40] <skel> eeeandrew: yeah you can remove current drivers with rmmod
[19:40] <skel> eeeandrew: remove / unload
[19:40] <smooker> hi, how do i move to folder from the terminal ?
[19:40] <brobostigon> thor: is that prog listed in packages.ubuntu.com, i never heard of it??
[19:40] <brandon_> kane77, i forgot how to disable compiz
[19:41] <kane77> smooker, cd folder
[19:41] <skel> eeeandrew: and load the ones you want (provided they're built and included in your modules dir)
[19:41] <thor> brobostigon: just a sec..;.let me check
[19:41] <kane77> smooker, or cd /path/to/folder
[19:41] <smooker> ah i forgot :)
[19:41] <smooker> like in cmd :P
[19:41] <tuxthepenguin533> is ext2 better than ext3
[19:41] <skel> eeeandrew: brb
[19:41] <robdig> !audio | sladjan have you tried this?
[19:41] <ubotu> sladjan have you tried this?: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[19:41] <kane77> tuxthepenguin533, why?
[19:41] <thor> brobostigon: it looks like i compiled it myself...it is webcam-server-0.50...should be able to find it on google
[19:41] <Shadow147> brandon_ what type of card
[19:41] <brobostigon> http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/net/webcam
[19:42] <tuxthepenguin533> i find ext2 faster
[19:42] <brandon_> shadow147, ati radeon x1600
[19:42] <thor> brobostigon: must have compiled easily...there are no libs or such on my ubuntu machine
[19:42] <Shadow147> brandon_ how new is it?
[19:42] <Condoulo> What is a good PCI-E card that works good in Linux? Because I am looking into upgrading my machine.
[19:42] <Pada`> tuxthepenguin533 : ext3 is journalised, it's the main difference with ext2
[19:42] <kane77> tuxthepenguin533, the only difference between ext2 and ext3 is journal, which I like better...
[19:42] <brandon_> shadow147, about 10months old
[19:42] <Jack_Sparrow> !hardware
[19:42] <ubotu> For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[19:42] <brobostigon> thannks thor.
[19:43] <Pada`> it means you won't have the equivalent of "scandisk" after a savage shutdown or reboot

[19:58] <mattgyver83> whta, have you checked your alsamixer settings?
[19:58] <lfs> @whta  why dont you use a preamp
[19:58] <brandon_> there has to be a way of disbaleing xgl
[19:59] <tuxthepenguin533> is 256mb ram enough my for ubuntu
[19:59] <lfs> whta, maybe PCM is low
[19:59] <tuxthepenguin533> for ubuntu
[19:59] <tomd123> brandon_: "touch $HOME/.config/xserver-xgl/disable"
[19:59] <Hoxzer> How can I setup default interface. I have two intefaces in my computer setup and a bridge between them. How can I tell programs to use br0 instead of eth0 or etho 1
[19:59] <square[]> how do you change the alsa buffer size? i keep on getting skips in my music.
[19:59] <lfs> tuxthepenguin533,  why not!
[19:59] <tomd123> brandon_: then logout and login
[19:59] <Jack_Sparrow> tuxthepenguin533: yes, but watch out for sharing too much of it with your video card..if it is onboard
[19:59] <eeeandrew> skel: after looking around a bit I found this page....do you think this guide will help? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[19:59] <whta> lfs: I just turned up PCM and that helped a little bit, but it's still softer than it was before. what else might i need to adjust?
[19:59] <hansb> blender
[20:00] <tuxthepenguin533> then why wont the live cd work
[20:00] <Jack_Sparrow> !sound
[20:00] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[20:00] <kane77> tuxthepenguin533, it's on the edge... but I've run ubuntu on 128 (and 16Mb of it was shared with graphics) and it worked ok... (I used xfce)
[20:00] <thor> Hoxzer: I'm curious..where do you plug in the bridge on your computer?
[20:00] <brandon_> tomd123, it says no such file or directory was found

[20:03] <imbecile> hey guys. just curious what kind of video compression istanbul uses. when i go to save it has no file extension and i want to know what to give it to upload to youtube
[20:03] <TigranG> kane77: Atheros AR5212
[20:03] <sladjan> i still recive the same message Desktop effects could not be enabled
[20:03] <skel> brandon_: just disable desktop effects?
[20:03] <whta> lfs: audigy 2 zs. it detects the card properly and everything so i'm assuming it's using the correct driver. i never had to install anything separate before.
[20:03] <kitche> imbecile: well youtube I think is .avi but doesn't matter since it uses a flash overlay anyways
[20:03] <brandon_> skel, tryied it
[20:03] <lfs> TigranG, is it detected ? .. i think the Atheros chipset is supported well in ubuntu
[20:04] <TigranG> lfs: It is detetced. But I get slow bitrates.
[20:04] <imbecile> kitche:  so i make the file a .avi?
[20:04] <tomd123> brandon_: the way i told you is the way you disable xgl!!
[20:04] <skel> sladjan: hmm that fixed the issue on my HP laptop, sorry I'm not sure what to try from there
[20:04] <TigranG> lfs: Like down to 2mbps.
[20:04] <brandon_> tomd123, i dont have an xserver-xgl folder tho
[20:04] <TigranG> lfs: The card is capable of 54mbps and I get that amount unders WindowsXP.
[20:04] <lfs> whta, run sudo lsmod , u'll see a list of loaded modules which can give you an indication of the driver used .. also check dmesg

[20:05] <sladjan> but the appereance dont work
[20:05] <lfs> TigranG, .. hmm
[20:05] <sladjan> Xgl server setup changed
[20:05] <sladjan> The Xgl server will now be started automatically next time you login.  It is no longer necessary to use any special X session to start Xgl, and such sessions will likely fail to work properly.  Please select a regular session from your session manager next time you log in.  To disable Xgl autostart for this user, create a file named ~/.config/xserver-xgl/disable
[20:05] <beerfa1> what framework/platform/whatever owns ~/.config? It's filled with prefs for apps like banshee, compiz, deluge, glade, gtk2. Is this a gnome dir?
[20:05] <tuxthepenguin533> !swap
[20:05] <ubotu> swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info

[20:06] <ipx> How do I formulate an input in /etc/sudoers that makes my user have sudoers right to firestarter?
[20:06] <thor> beerfa1: .config contains a lot of config options for various desktop items...I believe it is part of the FreeDesktop stuff
[20:06] <kitche> imbecile: probably .avi find out by saving a file
[20:06] <RadiantFire> lol, if you use your swap it always seems like the system gets slower
[20:06] <brandon_> tomd123, what is the disbale part a folder or text file?
[20:06] <imbecile> kitche:  i tried saving & it had no file extension
[20:06] <kitche> imbecile: then it's probably .avi just give it an extenstion then
[20:07] <tomd123> brandon, its just an empty file called disable
[20:07] <beerfa1> thor: I wonder why it isn't stored in .gnome2
[20:07] <TigranG> lfs: Do you think I should try ndiswrapper?
[20:07] <brandon_> text?
[20:07] <imbecile> kitche:  thanks
[20:07] <thor> beerfa1: my .config contains folders for gnome's menus, xfce's menus, the text editor config. It is not stored in .gnome2 because not everyone runs gnome...
[20:07] <slimjimflim> is it possible to set up a 'virtual router' in order to give applications the illusion of having a static ip?
[20:07] <brandon_> kk
[20:07] <RadiantFire> ipx: I'm not quite sure about the syntax, but be sure to use the visudo program, which will check for syntax errors that could leave sudo unusable
[20:07] <lfs> TigranG, AFAIK, ndiswrappers perform lesser than native drivers , but you can give it a try!
[20:07] <kane77> NKD-, and what are you trying to achieve?
[20:08] <ipx> RadiantFire: thanks!
[20:08] <astro76> slimjimflim, what are you trying to do?
[20:08] <kane77> NKD-, eh.. I misread.. sorry
[20:08] <NKD-> heheh
[20:08] <NKD-> its ok
[20:08] <beerfa1> thor: oh, I'm not really familiar with freedesktop. I guess that's a platform independent thing.
[20:08] <lfs> TigranG,  Looks more like a settings problem though ,... if you are getting better speeds using the same access point under windoze XP
[20:09] <TigranG> lfs: Like what?

[20:09] <dav1> hello there
[20:09] <thor> beerfa1: right....it is a relatively recent project
[20:09] <dav1> i dont understand why ubuntu is so great?
[20:09] <lfs> TigranG, Cant say , can you post the output of iwconfig?
[20:10] <beerfa1> dav1: then you haven't been using it ;-)
[20:10] <thor> beerfa1: don't feed the trolls <smile>
[20:10] <astro76> riaal, that would be best asked in #ubuntu-offtopic ... but here you go :p
[20:10] <dav1> beerfa1 i have been using it and i think its great, but i dont just understand why :)
[20:10] <lfs> beerfa1,  hehehe
[20:10] <riaal> astro76: cheers

[20:10] <slimjimflim> astro76, well, i'm setting up postfix and for some of the settings i need to put in the ip address, but i lost the power cord to my router.  i was thinking, i could run something to get the address and translate it into something static
[20:10] <osiris___> Hi all does anyone know how to fix the big font size in the GDM text box with a fresh install of gutsy? also it's installed on a laptop, when the sounds muted it still plays sound?
[20:10] <kane77> NKD-, isn't it supposed to be --to-source?
[20:11] <astro76> slimjimflim, what is assigning your IP now?
[20:11] <slimjimflim> astro76, it's the static ip i get from my isp whenever my modem gets rebooted
[20:12] <slimjimflim> which isn't very often
[20:12] <slimjimflim> but it still happens
[20:12] <lfs> TigranG,  do you get a good signal from the accespoint?
[20:13] <max`> is there any chance to view XPS files with ubuntu?
[20:13] <thor> slimjimflim: the IP from your isp is the one you need...you will need to use the same one once you get your router fixed unless you intend to just use postfix internally
[20:13] <slimjimflim> i guess i could write a script to update those files whenever a new ethernet connection is made
[20:13] <TigranG> lfs: 30-40%, but its at the same place when I'm running Windows. I get 54 so I dont think its because of that
[20:13] <NKD-> hm maybe kane.. i dunno.
[20:13] <NKD-> lemme try
[20:13] <thor> slimjimflim if you want to use postfix externally look at www.no-ip.com to solve that problem
[20:13] <dav1> hey guys, everytime i start ubuntu, i have to type  "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper " in order to start my WLAN, can anyone tell me how i do that automatically without typing at every start?

[20:14] <TigranG> behnd2008: running beryl or compiz?
[20:14] <slimjimflim> thor is that free?
[20:14] <erUSUL> dav1: put ndiswraper on /etc/modules
[20:14] <benhd2008> no
[20:14] <lfs> TigranG,  hmm .. just wondering , if you are primarily using the access point fron browsing , then it should not really affect you unless your internet pipe is bigger than 2mbps
[20:14] <TigranG> dunno
[20:14] <Jack_Sparrow> TigranG: What network card..  you might have one with marginal support/drivers  It may have great windows drivers but not give out enough info for open source to properly drive it

[20:19] <Ax-Ax> thor: yes?
[20:19] <tomd123> ...
[20:19] <thor> Ax-Ax: next time give yourself 20G for / and the rest for /home
[20:19] <lfs> gamag, many ways , you can use gnome-control-center i guess , will show you the card details and the driver used
[20:20] <benhd2008> i think it has to do with my resolution because i tried changing it and it messed my screen adn i had to restart
[20:20] <TigranG> lfs: I'm already using madwifi with ath_hal module

[20:23] <Ax-Ax> thor: it's my fathers setup, next time i'll make a /home partition :(
[20:23] <Unknown> Right when i push enter on the cd to go into ubuntu live cd to install it gives me internal memory error or something like that and doesnt boot into live cd just makes my pc speaker go crazy
[20:23] <lfs> gamag, what sound card do you have again?
[20:23] <sethk> Ashfire908, well, the connection is gone, so it's somewhat academic.  It depends on whether screen was started with nohup
[20:24] <sladjan> why r my windows moving now to slow

[20:27] <Unknown> my pc has good specs
[20:27] <vector> hai 2 u k4k
[20:27] <Vadi> How can I reset my X settings completely?
[20:27] <Anio> new to linux...if I format a computer and install Ubuntu, but also want to use XP as a dual installation...will that work? I heard you should always install Windows first (because their boot manager sucks), but this was a few years ago
[20:28] <Anio> I can't install Windows first, it'll be in a few months
[20:28] <Vadi> Anio: that's still the case.
[20:28] <lfs> gamag, have you tried running alsamixer?
[20:28] <Unknown> oh and if this helps i had linux installed before, and i got a new case so i put my pc in that new case and kept one of the cd drives i had in my old case out and i installed a new gfx card
[20:28] <Vadi> Anio: well, you could try and get around then if it's such a long wait..
[20:28] <aladinsano> i just installed Firestarter and then my Torrentclient
[20:28] <aladinsano> ops
[20:28] <erUSUL> Unknown: it is in the first menu you see when you can choose to boot ; boot into safe graphics; test memory; etc
[20:28] <sethk> Unknown, if windows is already there, the install will automatically set up dual boot for you, so it's a bit easier.
[20:28] <tomd123> anio, basically windows will overwrite the MBR without your consent so basically you would have to install grub again to see the linux partition
[20:28] <lfs> gamag,  and checking if anything is muted?
[20:28] <gamag> lfs: it runs, i increase decrease sound but nothing happens
[20:28] <thor> Vadi: I think it is 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
[20:28] <gamag> lfs: nothing is muted
[20:29] <sethk> Unknown, sorry, wrong nick
[20:29] <Anio> tom: how hard would it be to install grub again?
[20:29] <Vadi> thor: that one asks me questions
[20:29] <sethk> Anio, not hard
[20:29] <Vadi> thor: do you know for the one that doesn't, and picks itself?
[20:29] <Anio> allright...I'll give that a try
[20:29] <sethk> Anio, even easier, back up the MBR before the windows install, then restore it
[20:29] <thor> Vadi: try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh'
[20:29] <tomd123> anio, i agree with sethk
[20:30] <tomd123> but then you would have to add the windows partition manually into the grub config file
[20:30] <lfs> gamag, do an lsmod and see what modules are loaded , may give you a clue
[20:30] <Anio> one more question...this is a rather old PC, a P3 1GHz with 256mb of RAM. Is this enough to run the latest Ubuntu comfortably, or should I try to get a previous release?
[20:30] <Vadi> thor: thanks man
[20:30] <tomd123> anio, its fine
[20:30] <geonerd> speaking of dual-booting, how much space should one allocate for the ubuntu partition
[20:30] <nnoeonn> Hiya guys ^
[20:31] <Anio> allright then, thanks
[20:31] <tomd123> anio, just don't enable xgl or visual effects :P
[20:31] <nnoeonn> I need help :S it seems like my grapich is a bit slow
[20:31] <beerfa1> geonerd: depends totally on how much you need. ~4GB at a minimum I'd say
[20:31] <lfs> Anio,  it can confortably run ubuntu , try using a smaller window manager like icewm or blackbox rather than gnome

[20:31] <aladinsano> i just installed Firestarter and then my Torrentclient stoped getting a connection, as far as i can see it must only be to choose "Allow Service" under "Policy" in firestarter and to add the torrent clients port, but that does NOT do the trick, anybody know why?
[20:31] <aladinsano> Im connected directy to the net via my Dsl modem.
[20:31] <RichW> This is annoying, any ideas?
[20:31] <tomd123> geonerd, you can easily have 10 gigs for an ubuntu partition if your just a casual user, if a programmer/ has lots of "stuff" then anything bigger than 15 gigs would do

[20:34] <RichW> anyone else here got amd64 ubuntu and a nvidia 8 series card running nvidia binary drivers?
[20:34] <tomd123> geonerd: gimp, blender, what kind of graphics are we talking about
[20:34] <tomd123> geonerd: 3d or 2d
[20:34] <thor> thinh: you need to mount it with the right options to get it writeable
[20:34] <tomd123> or 1d :P
[20:34] <beerfa1> tomd123: illustrator is a vector art program
[20:34] <geonerd> just 2d vector graphics...i use it primarily for mapping and schematics
[20:35] <tomd123> geonerd:inkscape will do
[20:35] <RichW> inkscape is awsome
[20:35] <tomd123> beerfa1: sry i didn't see his last post that he used illustrator
[20:35] <thinh> what format should i use ext3 or ext2 and the right permission you are talking about is read write in fstab or mtab?

[20:44] <AgtFr> I have found something odd: lspci returns "VGA compatible unclassified device: Ensoniq 5880 AudioPCI (rev 04)". It used to be recognized as as sound card. Note: running Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS
[20:44] <g-e> hey, im trying to play .3gp files on ubuntu. anyone ever did this?
[20:44] <Vadi> beerfa1: Yeah, 7.10
[20:44] <g-e> (its the video-file from a nokia phone).
[20:44] <beerfa1> that's why
[20:45] <Orakio> I'm trying to get the TNT2 to work with ubuntu, it works with X11 in that it works with the nvidia driver selected. I installed legacy. I have enabled it with the n-g-c e command but when trying to run something like critical mass it reports cannot find glx visual, anyone know why? anything special that needs to be done for glx to work?
[20:45] <Scunizi> g-e, check out http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/stream-3gp-files-for-mobile-devices-308452/ it might help
[20:46] <beerfa1> Orakio: TNT2 is super old and glx won't be supported
[20:47] <beerfa1> at least not completely. directx 9.0c doesn't support TNT2 for example

[20:47] <elliotjhug> hi - anyone in here managed to get SimCity 3000 demo from Loki running under ubuntu? Throwing loads of errors - and the forum posts are all out of date
[20:48] <Orakio> tnt2 maybe old but I fail to see how it lacks the hardware to play something like critical mass or scorched3d
[20:48] <Jaszbo> Hi room. I have an HP dv6646us laptop, and I can't get the wireless up and running on Ubuntu Studio to save my life. I have been on the forums, I have been on the wiki and I have download umpteen different things, including Driverloader and ndiswrapper. Can anyone help?
[20:48] <beerfa1> Orakio: does it run those on windows? TNT2 doesn't support pixel shading used by modern games
[20:48] <Orakio> If I switch to debian will it have better support for things like tnt2?
[20:49] <beerfa1> Orakio: no. Ubuntu is debian+
[20:49] <Orakio> those two games aren#'t exactly modern
[20:49] <crdlb> Orakio: most likely, you just need to disable composite
[20:49] <juano__> Jaszbo: at instalation it prompted for a driver in the restricted drivers ?
[20:49] <beerfa1> oops, probably going to offend people with that last comment ;-)
[20:49] <FunkyBoy> Hi. Can any body help me.... Why i can't type my password in the konsole?
[20:49] <Orakio> how do I do that?
[20:49] <Jaszbo> no, not that I recall
[20:49] <elliotjhug> beerfa1: nah - you're in #ubuntu - not #debian
[20:50] <beerfa1> try "metacity --replace" if you're running gnome
[20:50] <IndyGunFreak> FunkyBoy: you probably are typing it.... it doesn;t put *';s or anything as you enter it.. just enter the password and hit enter, see what happens
[20:50] <Jaszbo> Ubuntu Studio "Gutsy" doesn't recognize my card
[20:50] <IndyGunFreak> FunkyBoy: you aren't the first one to think they weren't typing it when nothing appeared next to password
[20:50] <crdlb> Orakio: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46495/
[20:50] <juano__> Jaszbo: try going to System Administration then restricted drivers manager
[20:51] <beerfa1> crdlb: unlikely he has composite running with no glx
[20:51] <Orakio> ah ha
[20:51] <juano__> Jaszbo: check to see if your card is listed there
[20:51] <Jaszbo> It doesn't show anything for my wireless card there.
[20:51] <crdlb> beerfa1: on nvidia-glx-legacy, enabling composite disables GLX
[20:51] <juano__> Jaszbo: ahh ok
[20:51] <g-e> Scunizi: thet link points to installing vlc.
[20:51] <crdlb> beerfa1: and on ubuntu, composite is enabled unless you explicitely disable it
[20:51] <g-e> maybe i will try it.
[20:51] <Jaszbo> It doesn't show anything for my woreless card there
[20:51] <richo> i wanna mount some drives via fstab. but i dont recognize " UUID=955c661c-a9da-4005-b0c6-ad48b0110243 / "  So how should i write  if i wanna have hdd mounted to /home/john/blabla

[20:52] <TD-Linux> richo, see the two halves?
[20:52] <RichW> Can I use 32bit windows drivers with 64bit gutsy ndiswrapper?
[20:52] <TD-Linux> the first half identifies the drive
[20:52] <kane77> how do I set up samba?
[20:52] <TD-Linux> the / is where it is mounted
[20:52] <TD-Linux> so that drive is mounted to /
[20:52] <kitche> RichW: nope
[20:52] <juano__> kane77: sharing ubuntu with windows ?
[20:52] <Jaszbo> OK juano, now what?
[20:52] <kane77> juano__,
[20:52] <TD-Linux> so, you would somehow identifiy the drive, then do /home/john/blabla where the / was
[20:52] <ozzloy> is there a way to switch keyboard layout across the entire desktop instead of per-app?
[20:52] <kane77> juano__, yes
[20:52] <juano__> Jaszbo: what output does it show ?
[20:52] <TD-Linux> using UUID or other
[20:52] <RichW> kitche: Thanks! Il give it some 64bit windows drivers then
[20:53] <richo> TD-Linux:  so i can still write oldstyle?
[20:53] <RichW> kitche: you speak from experience?
[20:53] <juano__> kane77: System ----> Administration ----> shared folders , there it will prompt for samba installation, installed samba already ?
[20:53] <apocalypt1> how do i end a process in ubuntu?
[20:53] <juano__> Jaszbo: plz use pastebin
[20:53] <kitche> RichW: it will complain about the drivers not being x86_64
[20:53] <maybeway36> i use Alt+F2 then xkill

[20:55] <juano__> thanks kane77
[20:55] <elliotjhug> !hi | ilreds
[20:55] <ubotu> ilreds: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[20:55] <vanberge> can anyone tell me what special things i have to do to use WPA2 vs. WEP ??  i hate wep
[20:55] <plamo> When I try to unmount my hard drive in order to make a partition, gparted says that I can't unmount it because other devices are set to that mount point. Or something to that effect.
[20:55] <beerfa1> Ashfire908: mono is open-source .net
[20:55] <kane77> Ashfire908, implementation of .net (c#)
[20:55] <maybeway36> Are you running from a live CD?
[20:55] <juano__> kane77: gksudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf
[20:56] <plamo> I'm not running liveCD, I have Ubuntu 7.1 installed, and I'm looking to make a windows partition.
[20:56] <maybeway36> You need to use a Live CD like Ubuntu CD or Knoppix
[20:56] <richo> /dev/hdg1 	/home/ftp ext3 defaults 1 2  can i write like that in ubuntu 7.1 even though other object using "UUID=955c661c-a9da-4005-b0c6-ad48b011024"
[20:56] <g-e> plamo: when you type "mount" what is the output?
[20:56] <maybeway36> Otherwise it can't resize your pat\rtitions
[20:56] <RichW> kitche: Ahhh! quote from log.. "Kernel is 64bit but windows driver is not 64bit"
[20:56] <sladjan> can anyone help me to install properly driver for ati toshiba laptop
[20:56] <plamo> Okay, I'll try that
[20:56] <juano__> kane77: in that file enter your windows workgroup in the line workgroup, you must have enabled wins support = yes
[20:57] <ilreds> inserting headphone jack i hear sound from headphone and internal speakers of my laptop, i use utsy, which setting must i change?
[20:57] <g-e> plamo: you cannot "unmount your harddrive". drives are not mounted. partitions are.
[20:57] <juano__> kane77: also add a user to smb, using:  smbpasswd *sambauser*
[20:57] <plamo> G-e: ah, Isee.
[20:57] <vanberge> has anyone ever used ubuntu to connect to a WPA 2 wireless network
[20:57] <playerzen> Hey guys, having a problem here - I can't connect to a server once I'm VPN'd in - but if I ssh to one of our other servers on that network, I can bounce my ssh connection to the server in question.  Why would that be.  Would it be something that needs configuring in openvpn or some obscure networking issue ?
[20:57] <kane77> juano__, what is wins?
[20:57] <aguitel> sladen: use envy
[20:57] <juano__> kane77: that user must be part of local passwd, it will be used to enter the linux shares from windows
[20:58] <juano__> kane77: that will enable wins server in your box
[20:58] <plamo> g-e; can I do it from the live CD, as maybeway suggests?
[20:58] <sladjan> please people need help
[20:58] <juano__> kane77: Windows Internet Naming Service
[20:58] <beerfa1> vanberge: if your access point is using WPA network manager will (usually) detect that
[20:58] <gamag> hi. my networking is working fine. but I want to know which drivers are responsible for its working and what package .deb files contain them. how can I know?
[20:58] <g-e> plamo: depends on what you want to do.
[20:59] <vanberge> beerfa1, and if it is not?  :-/
[20:59] <bullgard4> There is no GUI available for aspell?
[20:59] <beerfa1> then your card/driver may not support it...lots of variables
[20:59] <plamo> g-e: Simply make a partition, and make ubuntu's part of the computer smaller.
[20:59] <elliotjhug> gamag: Presumably you'd lookup your card on google to find out which drivers are used for it, then you'd search synaptic for it
[20:59] <juano__> kane77: WINS is a service run on Windows NT  servers to provide Windows clients a way to find other Windows computers
[20:59] <g-e> plamo: type "fdisk /dev/hda" and then press "p". then show me the output.
[21:00] <vanberge> beerfa1, i know my card does, because i was using wpa2 when i was using 7.10
[21:00] <g-e> plamo: or do the same with parted.

[21:02] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[21:02] <g-e> plamo: when you type parted?
[21:02] <crdlb> marina: video card?
[21:02] <slimjimflim> does anyone know where the $myhostname variable is stored? ie. that contains the value of the '<username>-desktop' part of the bash prompt

[21:04] <marina> ok
[21:05] <juano__> kane77: smbpasswd username
[21:05] <juano__> kane77: that username needs to be a local linux user
[21:05] <IndyGunFreak> heavenquake: you'll need to compilea  new alsa driver, install it, then tell it which configuration to use, its all in those instructions
[21:05] <juano__> kane77: it needs to be in local passwd file

[21:09] <marina> the one in use or not in use
[21:10] <marina> crdlb pls
[21:10] <g-e> plamo: ok, and you want to shrink that partition number 1, right?
[21:10] <richo> kitche i didnt. it worked ;) thx alot. ciao

[21:11] <crdlb> marina: the ATI proprietary driver
[21:11] <marina> and now
[21:11] <crdlb> marina: was it enabled?
[21:11] <g-e> plamo: have you already tried to do it with parted?
[21:11] <Floid> Is anyone able to mount floppies in 7.10, or is the kernel driver just completely broken?
[21:11] <marina> yes but it wasnt in use
[21:12] <crdlb> marina: is it now?
[21:12] <plamo> Yeah, it said that I couldn't unmount the first one, because of other devices, g-e.
[21:12] <marina> its still not in use
[21:12] <crdlb> then you need to fix that
[21:12] <g-e> plamo: then use a live-cd.

[21:13] <macogw> after doing today's updates, firefox-3.0 no longer works.  it says "Could not find compatible GRE between version 1.9a8 and 1.9a8."
[21:13] <txoof> I'd like to install gnome (and X and all that comes with it), but I don't want to run the whole X login frontend.  I just need gnome for some vnc stuff that will be running off this box.  Is it possible to either avoid installing the login stuff (if so, what's it called?), and if not, can it be disabled?
[21:13] <g-e> plamo: yes. throw in the cd, ubuntu comes up, start a shell, type "parted" and then resize the partition.
[21:13] <macogw> txoof: it's called gdm
[21:13] <marina> ill restart my pc
[21:14] <macogw> plamo: or use the partitioner in system > admin > gnome partitioner on the live cd
[21:14] <txoof> macogw: I bet a billion things are dependent on it, eh?
[21:14] <macogw> txoof: no idea
[21:14] <g-e> macogw: is the partitioner cooler then parted?
[21:15] <CoasterMaster> txoof, you can probably do a command-line only install (use the alternate CD) and just install gnome separately
[21:15] <eNons3nse> can someone please help me.  i'm getting an input/output error when i try to copy files from my external mp3 player.
[21:15] <xyber411> hi...  I'm having some trouble with the fglrx 7.11 driver.  Everything works in it, but it seems to be using the cpu instead of the gpu for everything.  any ideas?
[21:15] <plamo> okay, thanks g-e, macogw.
[21:15] <txoof> macogw: is the X-login stuff a different init level?
[21:15] <macogw> g-e: gparted seems a lot easier than the one that's in the updater.  i dont know which one runs if you type "parted"
[21:15] <juano__> eNons3nse: what sort of error ?
[21:15] <Floid> txoof: If you have the disk space, just install and disable gdm launching with update-rc.d.
[21:15] <krypto84sv> como puedo ver el modelo de mi disco duro en consola?

[21:15] <macogw> txoof: um..its the same as when you do startx, except gdm manages how many gnome sessions are running and lets you login graphically
[21:15] <eNons3nse> juano__: here is an example of what it says.  cp: reading `Dubwise & Otherwise 2/Gregory Isaacs - Slave Master.mp3': Input/output error
[21:16] <ampex> xyber411: what would lead you to the conclusion that it is "using the CPU for everthing" ?
[21:16] <txoof> CoasterMaster: Yeah, that's what I'm trying to do.  I would like gnome and all the X deps, just not gdm.  I think I can probably weed that out though.
[21:16] <juano__> eNons3nse: is the device properly mounted ?
[21:16] <g-e> macogw: "gparted"? when i type "gparted", its not found.
[21:16] <CoasterMaster> txoof, yeah, I'm not sure exactly what packages you're going to need unfortunately
[21:16] <juano__> eNons3nse: when you plugged in the mp3 player, it should appear on the desktop
[21:16] <beerfa1> g-e: it's not installed by default
[21:16] <gordonjcp> eNons3nse: have a look in dmesg
[21:16] <CoasterMaster> but that install won't install any GNOME or GUI stuff
[21:16] <macogw> g-e: i dont know the command for it.  it's in the menu on the live cd
[21:16] <eNons3nse> juano__: should be.  it auto mounts when i plug it in.  i can browse the file system & see everything that's there.  nothing looks out of the ordinary.
[21:17] <eNons3nse> gordonjcp: dmesg?
[21:17] <macogw> after doing today's updates, firefox-3.0 no longer works.  it says "Could not find compatible GRE between version 1.9a8 and 1.9a8."
[21:17] <g-e> macogw: ah, ok. so its not in the installed version at all, as i understand it.
[21:17] <gordonjcp> eNons3nse: also maybe try removing any other USB storage devices
[21:17] <juano__> eNons3nse: i see... , do a cat /etc/mtab and see if it appears there
[21:17] <macogw> g-e: no but you can get it from the repos
[21:17] <g-e> macogw: i had good luck with parted so far.
[21:17] <gordonjcp> eNons3nse: yes, dmesg, it's a list of kernel system messages
[21:17] <macogw> g-e: is parted gui or command line?
[21:17] <gordonjcp> eNons3nse: looks very scary, often tells you when things have gone phut or are about to
[21:18] <macogw> g-e: partman is horrible.  i dont know why they put that in the installer now.  yuck
[21:18] <eNons3nse> gordonjcp: as in the HD in my mp3 player?
[21:18] <gordonjcp> eNons3nse: ah, is it actually a hard disk?
[21:18] <Floid> txoof:  Looks like you could also just uninstall the gdm package.
[21:18] <g-e> macogw: parted is commandline. just type "parted" and youll see. very useful.
[21:18] <otherman> about fglrx... with the new driver it's pratically impossible to see any video (slow, slow and slow!). there is a way to fix the problem? i've the "beautifull" ati x200
[21:18] <eNons3nse> gordonjcp: yes
[21:18] <xyber411> when I open my system monitor while using glxgears, the cpu is at ~100% always
[21:18] <eNons3nse> gordonjcp: archos 404
[21:19] <ampex> otherman: what version were you using previously, was it any better?
[21:19] <juano__> eNons3nse: what filesystem ?
[21:19] <ampex> xyber411: what GPU?
[21:19] <gordonjcp> eNons3nse: is it behaving itself otherwise?
[21:19] <Jaszbo> Hi room. I finally got my laptop to recognize my wireless card, but it still isn't bringing up any content. Any help?
[21:19] <txoof> Floid: yea, I'm going to have to check the deps on things.
[21:19] <ampex> xyber411: does glxinfo show ATI opengl?
[21:19] <Floid> otherman: Is direct rendering working?
[21:19] <xyber411> yes
[21:19] <xyber411> all ati
[21:19] <Odd-rationale> Is there a key stroke to restart compiz? Or can a create one>
[21:19] <Odd-rationale> ?
[21:19] <beerfa1> restart?
[21:19] <ampex> xyber411: what specific ATI GPU are you using?
[21:19] <otherman> 8.40 worked perfect... from 8.42 i've the problem
[21:19] <Floid> txoof: Chances are the meta-pkgs suck it in, but nothing should barf if you yank it out after installing.
[21:20] <xyber411> 9600
[21:20]  * gordonjcp -> off out
[21:20] <beerfa1> Odd-rationale: ctrl-all-bkspc
[21:20] <romme> is it safe to follow instructions at http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_resizing_ext3_partitions to shrink a partition on ubuntu gutsy?
[21:20] <juano__> Jaszbo: is the card on roaming mode ? if so in the desktop nm-applet click on it and it should show nearby networks
[21:20] <Floid> Although you might have to call gnome-session in your .xinitrc etc.
[21:20] <ampex> I know that on my 9800 pro, the opensource ati driver performs better than fglrx
[21:20] <ampex> for compiz and general gnome use
[21:20] <Odd-rationale> beerfa1: That restarts X. Can I just restart compiz?
[21:20] <txoof> Floid: as long as the init level is set right for booting...  As I recall xlogin is a different inti level than the standard multiuser login.
[21:21] <Ballena> if a CLI or TUI app is started with the system. How do I open it without open a new session of the program?
[21:21] <beerfa1> compiz --replace *may* do it. don't know
[21:21] <eNons3nse> juano__: i don't know what file system is on there.  it runs on linux though.
[21:21] <TBotNik_u> juano__: Thanks for LAMP link.  Noticed empty httpd.conf file on my desktop version, but server version is fine.  Just need localhost on Desktop for PHP dev.  I went to #apache for some help on virtual host, but got none.  Have server config with localhost and 3 intranet/nameserver hosts needed.  Put up my code at:  http://www.apagelounge.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=9401#9401
[21:21] <Floid> I'm from BSD-land, your runlevels are mysterious and silly to me. ;)
[21:21] <Odd-rationale> 'Cause every now and then compiz crashes and I was looking for the quickest way to start it back up again, preferably a key stroke.
[21:21] <eNons3nse> gordonjcp: everything seems to be working otherwise.  it still plays and i was just using it on my friends mac last night.
[21:21] <xyber411> I am using the radeon 9600
[21:22] <hookdump> how can I enter to console mode with the ubuntu live cd? X doesnt work in my old pc :S
[21:22] <juano__> eNons3nse: sudo fdisk -l  should output all disks connected to the motherboard, there your device's filesystem should appear
[21:22] <juano__> eNons3nse: and there partitions of course
[21:22] <Ballena> FloodBot1:  what is a runlevel?
[21:22] <Odd-rationale> beerfa1: ^
[21:22] <Floid> For video, Xv has been broken in fglrx, so make sure you're using plain X11, or if plain X11 is taxing the cpu and direct rendering works, try GL.
[21:22] <Jaszbo> ! nm
[21:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nm - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:22] <beerfa1> Odd-rationale: it's possible to create a script and bind a keystroke to it.
[21:22] <LjL> Ballena: something you shouldn't mess with
[21:22] <Jaszbo> ! nm-applet
[21:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nm-applet - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:23] <macogw> xyber411: the open source one seems to work better on most radeon 9xxx than the binary does
[21:23] <Floid> However, if glxgears takes 100% CPU then fglrx probably isn't quite installed right.
[21:23] <Odd-rationale> beerfa1: OK. Thanks for the tip!
[21:23] <ampex> fglrx seems to mostly suck :(
[21:23] <Jaszbo> ! network-manager-applet
[21:23] <thinh> how do your format a drive in ubuntu?
[21:23] <otherman> otherwise.. now the real problem is an other... I deleted many file... 2GB maeby.. but i've only 200MB of free space. why?
[21:23] <eth01> fdisk
[21:23] <LjL> thinh: man mkfs
[21:24] <beerfa1> thinh: boot with a live cd and run the partition manager
[21:24]  * genii sips a coffee
[21:24] <eNons3nse> juano__: it's FAT32
[21:24] <thinh> i have gparted install
[21:24] <xyber411> switching to gl now
[21:24] <juano__> eNons3nse: filesystem should be mounted as vfat then
[21:24] <xyber411> I'll see if that works
[21:24] <heartsblood> If I have a question about mencoder, where should I ask it for the best response?
[21:24] <TBotNik_u> juano__: Also need some quick help with sound.  Can't get any from this box with U Desktop.
[21:24] <beerfa1> thinh: if you can unmount the partition then that will work.
[21:24] <juano__> !alsa | TBotNik
[21:24] <ubotu> TBotNik: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[21:25] <eNons3nse> juano__: it's /dev/sdb1
[21:25] <thinh> i try mount ext hd but i only get read only
[21:25] <juano__> eNons3nse: yep, does it show up while connected in /etc/mtab ?
[21:25] <thinh> how do i make it so i get full permission to the ext hd anyone?
[21:25] <Floid> ampex: Seems like the AMD-ATI merger inspired them to refactor it, probably in a team undergoing a lot of turnover, so it should slowly stop regressing someday.  Or not.
[21:25] <beerfa1> thinh: the partition must NOT be mounted to format
[21:26] <juano__> eNons3nse: does this happen only in ubuntu, have you tried connecting it to windows box or other OS ?
[21:26] <thinh> i know what but when i format it i still can write anything to it
[21:26] <eNons3nse> juano__: yea.  it says vfat in there.  /dev/sdb1 /media/AV404 vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8,umask=077,usefree 0 0
[21:26] <eNons3nse> /dev/sdb1 /media/AV404_ vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8,umask=077,usefree 0 0
[21:26] <otherman> sorry for repetition... I deleted many file... 2GB maeby.. but i've only 200MB of free space. why?
[21:26] <gordonjcp> eNons3nse: seems a bit odd
[21:26] <Floid> otherman: Were they sparse files?
[21:26] <LjL> otherman: possibly because they were mostly zero-filled files, like incomplete parts of torrents for instance
[21:26] <eNons3nse> i haven't tried plugging it into a different OS since yesterday
[21:27] <gordonjcp> eNons3nse: I'd see if dmesg is full of funny errors, possibly to do with USB
[21:27] <beerfa1> thinh: what partition type are you formatting with? ext3?
[21:27] <thinh> ext3
[21:27] <macogw> Floid: i thought it was because dell told them "make a working linux driver, or we drop you" so they scrapped the whole thing because it sucked and started over trying to make a good one, and thye current version is basically an alpha of what will someday, hopefully, be better than what we had
[21:27] <thinh> yeah
[21:27] <eNons3nse> gordonjcp: where do i find that?
[21:27] <gordonjcp> eNons3nse: definitely try it without any other usb-storage defices on the same bus
[21:27] <Odd-rationale> #eee
[21:27] <beerfa1> is the partition mounted after you formatted?
[21:27] <Odd-rationale> Sorry
[21:27] <gordonjcp> eNons3nse: type "dmesg" in a terminal
[21:27] <juano__> eNons3nse: mmm seems fine with the rw option, that should let you write fine , is this USB ? try another USB if it is
[21:27] <TBotNik_u> juano__: Volume control is disabled and get "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found." error when trying to open it.
[21:27] <juano__> eNons3nse: also do what gordonjcp suggests
[21:28] <eNons3nse> gordonjcp: heh.  i'm trying to copy files from my usb mp3 player to my usb external HD.  that's the only other thing plugged in other than my mouse.
[21:28] <Floid> macogw: Could be but I doubt it.  If anything it seems like they got distracted when AMD people came in and actually started auditing what they could release to get the open-source drivers up to par.
[21:29] <Floid> ...Which would be why the open-source driver is rapidly improving on fglrx now, too. ;)
[21:29] <eNons3nse> gordonjcp: yeah.  there's some crazy stuff in that log.  let me put it on pastebin.
[21:29] <thinh> i was able to delete some files in the folder when i change the file ownership but i need to make the whole drive accessable by everyone
[21:29] <otherman> the files was on desktop.. 2 divx and other
[21:29] <gordonjcp> eNons3nse: maybe just the last few lines, eh
[21:29] <Floid> Um, anyway, anyone have comments on my question re: is 2.6.22-14's floppy support utterly broken?
[21:29] <juano__> TBotNik what sound card ?
[21:30] <Floid> otherman:  When in doubt, see if anything changes after a 'sync.'
[21:30] <gordonjcp> Floid: that's a pretty vague question
[21:30] <eNons3nse> gordonjcp: http://pastebin.com/d3ba119d
[21:30] <gordonjcp> Floid: What exactly are you trying to do?
[21:30] <otherman> sync?
[21:31] <Floid> gordon: Mount a floppy, obviously.  Can you do this successfully? :)

[21:31] <Wolf23> somebody help me please?
[21:31] <TBotNik_u> juano__: Have loaded all the ALSA and sound mix progs by hand but still does not work.  It think it has something to do with the MB.  My buddy found he had to install a Creative PCI card, then run ALSA and then and only then did the onboard sound chip get activated.  Think there is a basic sound system file missing in the ALSA and kernel files that the Creative driver set has that kicks it all off, but I'm just speculating.
[21:31] <gordonjcp> eNons3nse: lol, that pastebin url looks vaguely rude, I bet the more vocal ops will whine about it
[21:31] <marina> still problem

[21:31] <ubotu> Wolf23: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[21:31] <Floid> Note all the noise about floppy I/O errors causing failed boots on systems without floppies drowning out any data on whether anyone's floppy does actually work.
[21:31] <ganton516> Can someone out there answer what is probably a really dumb question about RAID with Gutsy
[21:31] <beerfa1> thinh: you must add the partition to /etc/fstab. http://www.bradtrupp.com/id/unbuntu-add-hard-drive.html

[21:37] <whta> i'll take that as a "don't." should i disable backports, then?
[21:37] <Jack_Sparrow> Floid:    dd if=/dev/fd0 of=floppy.img                 will try to read a floppy and write an image file of it.. not that  you wanted to do that, just tossing a suggestion.

[21:39] <plamo> Anyone know why my live CD isn't running? I had my hard drive set as 'do not boot', and my laptop simply said there was no OS installed, instead of booting from the CD.
[21:39] <Jack_Sparrow> segagman: Please do NOT suggest that to users in this channel
[21:39] <Floid> I smoked one on the phone to QLogic tech support a dozen years ago when it was plugged in upside-down. ;)  But this one's fine in hardware, I can boot from it.
[21:39] <comicinker> help: I cannot open glade files from anjuta. if I do so, I receive: Aborted (core dumped) I also cannot start the help
[21:39] <juano__> TBotNik_u: ok, use pastebin
[21:39] <gordonjcp> Floid: I regularly use 3.5", 5.25" and 8" floppies, although the 8" floppy isn't on a "normal" controller ;-)
[21:39] <otherman> there is in ubuntu something to get free space on hd? (sorry for my english)
[21:39] <Ballena> if a CLI or TUI app is started with the system. How do I open it without open a new session of the program?
[21:39]  * gordonjcp -> off out
[21:39] <Shadow147> plamo your iso could be corrupt
[21:39] <Floid> Catweasel? :>
[21:40] <beerfa1> plamo: either you burned the cd wrong or your bios is ancient?
[21:40] <plamo> Shadow147: It worked last time I used it.
[21:40] <comicinker> otherman: what free space?
[21:40] <Shadow147> or your cd is bad
[21:40] <TBotNik> juano__: OK it is: http://www.apachelounge.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=9401#9401 straight from the browser.
[21:40] <gordonjcp> Ballena: screen, maybe?
[21:40] <Shadow147> plamo your cd could be bad?
[21:40] <marina> track is playing but i dont hear any sound
[21:40] <juano__> plamo: in BIOS did you set the boot priority to 1st CDROM ?=
[21:40] <Wolf23> beerfa1:  how can i get codes for kaffeine?
[21:40] <plamo> SHadow: OK
[21:40] <segagman> it is good for the end user
[21:40] <Floid> Anyhow, this is horrible to the extent that I support an attorney and the courts here only offer their digital transcripts on floppy.
[21:40] <plamo> Juano: yep
[21:40] <plamo> I'll try a different disk, then, be right back
[21:40] <Ballena> gordonjcp: ok, so screen is for open already staed apps?
[21:40] <beerfa1> codes? kaffeine? don't know
[21:40] <segagman> the n00b non elite
[21:40] <gordonjcp> Ballena: well, depends what you're trying to do
[21:40] <Jack_Sparrow> segagman: There is NO reason for anyone to use Automatix..
[21:41] <Floid> ...So if everyone else thinks it works, I'll suck this off on a different machine and file a bug on Monday. :P
[21:41] <segagman> isnt that what ubuntu is for?
[21:41] <sethk> Ballena, no, you have to start the app from a screen session
[21:41] <gordonjcp> Ballena: I have to leave now, so I can't directly answer your question, but perhaps if you explain a bit more about the problem someone else can help
[21:41] <Ballena> gordonjcp: ok, rTorrents starts with m system so I want to open it
[21:41] <Ballena> ok
[21:41] <Ballena> thnaks for help, goin to try screen
[21:41] <Wolf23> Jack_Sparrow:   how can i get codes for kaffeine?
[21:42] <TBotNik_u> juano__: If it still bombs try https:// instead.

[21:45] <Jack_Sparrow> thunar is my fav..
[21:45] <juano__> TBotNik_u: as far as i know , loopback <IP_ADDRESS>  shouldn't be referred to as the local pc hostname (read it isn't recommended) , but as localhost
[21:45] <NewUserr> hi i have problems to install my printer again ( it worked before) .I cant open printer database :( can anybody help me please

[21:45] <sethk> NewUserr, make sure you are running with admin permissions
[21:46] <TBotNik> juano__: Explain, cus I don't understand
[21:46] <beerfa1> whta: your terminal profile may be using a font other than the desktop default
[21:46] <NewUserr> sethk i do but it crashes when i try to add my printer dont know why
[21:46] <erUSUL> whta: deja vu mono?
[21:46] <comicinker> otherman: can you type df -h in a command line?

[21:47] <rencore_> why is it when i take my usb mouse out and then i put it back in it doesnt work
[21:47] <iceman_> ubotu : thanks for the link
[21:47] <sethk> NewUserr, there are so many possibilities, it's hard to know where to start.  Is that the only thing that's broken?
[21:47] <juano__> TBotNik_u: that in the hosts file, <IP_ADDRESS> shouldn't be referred to davisoft-aec.com ,  but to localhost,  should be:  <IP_ADDRESS>     localhost
[21:48] <Floid> Oh, hnuh, data point:  Floppy does work under 7.10 with my Thinkpad, which Linux thinks has a NatSemi PC87306 for FDC 0.  So it is 'just' the SB600 and who knows what other hardware.
[21:48] <whta> huhh, did automatix change the default "Monospace" font on me?
[21:48] <NewUserr> sethk:gnome-cups-add doesnt answer i get as error message
[21:48] <juano__> TBotNik_u: if you have a static public IP number, then that one should be referred to davisoft-aec.com
[21:48] <marina> this is no fair no one wants to help a lady
[21:48] <comicinker> otherman: a hint: type the first letters of a nickname, then press the <tab> key for autocomplete
[21:48] <sethk> NewUserr, why did you need to reinstall?
[21:48] <juano__> TBotNik_u: or private ip if it is for internal LAN use only
[21:48] <Jack_Sparrow> whta: It did a lot worse than just change a font...

[21:49] <whta> jack_sparrow: well what did it do!? and how do i fix it?
[21:49] <comicinker> otherman: so, the space still missing in the output of df -h?

[21:49] <NewUserr> sethk:i changed things and so not everything was working right so i had to reinstall again
[21:49] <nick__> why does my installation require i insert my cd when i install build essential?
[21:49] <otherman> but for my problem? :)
[21:49] <comicinker> otherman: so, the space still missing in the output of df -h?
[21:49] <Jack_Sparrow> nick__: remove the cd from your sources list
[21:49] <sainzeo> hey everyone, upon opening evolution with a groupwise account, it crashes with a segmentation fault - any ideas?
[21:50] <juano__> TBotNik_u: and localhost:80 is what is failing or no ?
[21:50] <marina> thx philosoph
[21:50] <otherman> yes... 140MB free
[21:50] <erUSUL> nick__: becouse you cd is still on the sources list. Go to System>Admin>Software Sources and disable de CDrom
[21:50] <graymaster> whats your favorite gnome theme
[21:50] <graymaster> ?
[21:50] <nick__> ok
[21:50] <TBotNik> juano__: Will add host with public IP later
[21:50] <ganton516> Should a BIOS raid array be used with DMRAID, or should it be turned off ?
[21:50] <juano__> TBotNik_u:  ok
[21:50] <whta> ok, so i see now that automatix is terrible. and i have promptly removed it. but this font thing is really bugging me.
[21:51] <NewUserr> someone knows what i should do when i get this error message:gnome-cups-add doesnt answer
[21:51] <huppi> i need to write cds and dvds, which program is the common sense choice of the day ?
[21:51] <NKD-> Hi all. Earlier I was having problems with my NAT, but I fixed it. However, now I cant get anything to run on startup. I've tried putting stuff in /etc/rc.local and in a custom script I chmod +x'd in /etc/init.d
[21:51] <Jack_Sparrow> whta: removing it does NOT fix the problem...  See the article
[21:51] <NKD-> Nothing that web tutorials indicate seems to work, as far as getting a command to execute on startup
[21:51] <TBotNik> juano__: localhost:80 or localhost are same and working.  Last 2 defs won't work.  Tried dif listen ports but good at know what is open.
[21:51] <erUSUL> huppi: GnomeBaker or Brasero. K3b if you are on kubuntu
[21:51] <juano__> huppi: gnomebaker
[21:51] <comicinker> otherman: df -h displays the used hard disc space of mounted volumes. I just want to get sure your gui displays the correct value
[21:51] <atlef> huppi: gnomebaker or k3b
[21:51] <huppi> thank you thanks you tahnsk
[21:51] <ozzloy> how do i toggle keyboard layout for the entire desktop at once?
[21:52] <erUSUL> huppi: also Places>DVD cd Creator works quite well
[21:52] <karim> would there be a way to totally rebuild an Ubuntu mirrot for a specific target and optimisations or is it impossible at all ?
[21:52] <otherman> yes is the same from the gui and from df -h
[21:52] <Nilbus> I'm following the wifi guide, and it says to copy firmware to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware, but /usr/{lib,lib64}/hotplug doesn't exist on this gusty livecd

[21:52] <dana_bad> speaking of burning cds, as i was trying to burn an iso my computer decided that i didnt have a cd burner anymore
[21:52] <marina> ill take out this ubuntu
[21:53] <dana_bad> it was in the options for burners to use then it was gone
[21:53] <marina> thought ill get some help here
[21:53] <TBotNik> juano__: No U-local.com and Manuals.com
[21:53] <NewUserr> someone knows what i should do when i get this error message:gnome-cups-add doesnt answer , i cant add my printer
[21:53] <comicinker> otherman: search for the file with the gnome-search-tool. make sure you search for hidden files, too
[21:53] <rencore_> gnome-cups-add was removed i think
[21:53] <juano__> marina: plz ask your question
[21:53] <rencore_> i could be wrong
[21:53] <sethk> dana_bad, if it is still missing after a reboot, it is probably a hardware problem
[21:53] <erUSUL> marina: what is the problem?
[21:53] <Nematocyst> Do I need to build a custom kernel for huge page support (CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE), and assuming so, will I run into trouble with my nvidia restricted drivers if I do so?
[21:53] <juano__> TBotNik_u:  ahhhh lol....
[21:53] <juano__> TBotNik_u:  gotcha
[21:53] <marina> i said several times i have problems with ati\
[21:54] <marina> and with sound
[21:54] <IndyGunFreak> juano__: i'd say his attitude is a problem..lol,
[21:54] <erUSUL> Nematocyst: with a new kernel you need to build the driver yourself too
[21:54] <sethk> Nematocyst, yes, and you'll need to download the drivers from the nvidia site.  The install will use the new kernel information.
[21:54] <whta> jack_sparrow: i don't see any hint of what to do NOW. the comments recommend uninstalling whatever it installed.. though I don't know what font packages it added
[21:54] <ozzloy> beerfa1: when i toggle, it switches per app, i want entire desktop
[21:54] <erUSUL> !ati | marina
[21:54] <ubotu> marina: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[21:54] <Nilbus> erUSUL, is that wifi post up to date?  there's no /usr/lib/hotplug on this livecd
[21:54] <juano__> IndyGunFreak: lol
[21:54] <IndyGunFreak> erUSUL: he's been told that, i think he wants spoonfed
[21:54] <beerfa1> ozzloy: by "entire desktop" do you for other users?
[21:54] <marina> can someone get into my pc
[21:54] <juano__> marina: well then, first of all you have to go to System ----> Administration ----> Restricted drivers
[21:54] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[21:54] <marina> like remote assisrance
[21:55] <erUSUL> Nilbus: may be out of date dunno
[21:55] <juano__> marina: in there you should enable the restricted driver for your ati card
[21:55] <sethk> marina, depends on whether your ISP allows incoming connections.
[21:55] <juano__> marina: thats a first step
[21:55] <otherman> comicinker: i dont found anythink
[21:55] <marina> i did that
[21:55] <ozzloy> beerfa1: i mean for me, not other users
[21:55] <erUSUL> marina: for graphics drivers use System>Admin>Restricted Manager
[21:55] <IndyGunFreak> juano__: i think he tried that, which initiated the "thanks for nothing" comment.
[21:55] <NewUserr> rencore: what should i do then i tried to install that again with apt-get but doesnt work
[21:55] <juano__> TBotNik_u: what is the hostname set too ?
[21:55] <erUSUL> !sound > marina
[21:55] <beerfa1> ozzloy: prefs > keyboard is for the entire desktop, not a single app
[21:55] <marina> track plays but no sound
[21:56] <ozzloy> beerfa1: i want a keyboard shortcut for toggling
[21:56] <Viper550> 3MIN
[21:56] <IndyGunFreak> i thought this was a video driver issue marina
[21:56] <comicinker> otherman: just to make it sure: you deleted a file with a size of 2GB, but the space is not freed?
[21:56] <Viper550> ooops
[21:56] <Viper550> wrong tab
[21:56] <marina> and sound
[21:56] <juano__> TBotNik_u: plus, those entries are wrong if im not wrong i think the entry your need is :   <IP_ADDRESS>     name1    name2     name3
[21:56] <ozzloy> beerfa1: i switch between dvorak and qwertty
[21:56] <beerfa1> ozzloy: do you mean languages? add the language applet thingy to your panel
[21:56] <graymaster> is there a way to upgrade to ubuntustudio, i'm using ubuntu 7.10
[21:56] <graymaster> using a code or something
[21:57] <beerfa1> ozzloy: can't help with that. Maybe write a script and bind a key to it
[21:57] <juano__> TBotNik_u: all in the same line if you know what i mean, and im not sure if they need comas in between them, you can try both
[21:57] <otherman> comicinker: yes
[21:57] <TBotNik> juano__: Docroot list ==> Localhost="E:/Local Files" OK, localhost:90="E:/Local Files/HTML Files/New Home/Site" OK, U-local.com="E:/Zips & Downloads/Linux/Ubuntu" Bad, manuals.com="E:/Manuals" bad
[21:57] <blahblahx> is there a way to delete every file in every subfolder except ones with a certain title?
[21:57] <ozzloy> beerfa1: how do i bind a key to a script?
[21:57] <Nilbus> where does wireless/hotplug firmware go on Gusty?
[21:57] <whta> ok. my last question is how to have ubuntu associate the default font handler "monspace" with "dejavu sans monspace"
[21:57] <juano__> TBotNik_u: read my last message ^^
[21:57] <NewUserr> someone knows what i should do when i get this error message:gnome-cups-add doesnt answer , i cant add my printer
[21:57] <beerfa1> ozzloy: not sure. Google for it perhaps
[21:57] <marina> and what to do now
[21:57] <juano__> TBotNik_u: my last 2 messages i mean ^^
[21:57] <comicinker> otherman: on what filesystem was that file? ntfs? fat? ext2? do you know the origin path of that file?
[21:57] <TBotNik> juano__: You talking about the comment on editing the Window host file?
[21:57] <marina> im in restricted drivers

[21:58] <IndyGunFreak> marina: whats your sound device?
[21:58] <Jack_Sparrow> NewUserr: that is a rather odd error.. have you used outsdie repos or any of those horrible scripts
[21:58] <marina> i dont know
[21:58] <IndyGunFreak> lol,
[21:58] <otherman> ext3... it was on my desktop
[21:58] <TBotNik> Let me look on Win machine but still must work on U-box and that file doesn't exist there.
[21:58] <ozzloy> beerfa1: thanks for the help
[21:58] <IndyGunFreak> well, if i didn't have to leave in a minute, i might stick around for this, but marina i would start by opening a terminal and lspci and identifying your sound device

[22:07] <otherman> comicinker: yes
[22:07] <Shadow147> I got Kegs to compile

[22:08] <geck1> there is onboard and there is the soundcard
[22:08] <comicinker> otherman: I'm sorry, that sentence was mixed up. did you understand anyway?
[22:08] <naxa> hi. i have a problem.
[22:08] <naxa> I refreshed the system normal ubdate. everything s*cks.
[22:08] <naxa> usb pendrive wont mount i dont know why
[22:08] <naxa> i need it in 30 minutes
[22:08] <eNons3nse_> gordonjcp: so i just copied some different stuff that i put on there a couple weeks ago and it's working fine.  could it just be the stuff i put on the mp3 player last night was written to a bad spot on the HD?
[22:09] <naxa> so i'm very upset with ubuntu right now
[22:09] <tim__> anyone know how to deal with a "case" problem : "DSCN0105.JPG not renamed: dscn0105.jpg already exists"?
[22:09] <naxa> also my screen f*cked up
[22:09] <Shadow147> naxa I it sohuld auto mount
[22:09] <Flare183> naxa:> open up a termnial and type in pmount /dev/sda1
[22:09] <naxa> nvidia driver stopped recognizing itself
[22:09] <HateX> Hmmm. In gnome when i set a staic IP address on my wired network interface it doesn't seems to work. It says i have that ip address but yet i can't be pinged and don't have access to the web
[22:09] <HateX> i have even restarted networking to no avail
[22:09] <naxa> Shadow147, Flare183: it's just NOT automount. sda1 is my scsi hard drive. there is no sdb or sdc or whatever.
[22:09] <Flare183> HateX:> try sudo dhclient
[22:09] <otherman> comicinke: trash is empty
[22:10] <Flare183> Oh
[22:10] <abcent> naxa: what was you fiddling with before all this happened?
[22:10] <Flare183> !mount

[22:10] <otherman> comicinker: trash is empty
[22:10] <HateX> Flare183, thanx
[22:10] <Flare183> HateX:> np
[22:10] <comicinker> otherman: type following in a terminal:
[22:10] <comicinker> cd /
[22:11] <abcent> naxa: set it back to default
[22:11] <comicinker> find -name *partOfFileName*
[22:11] <tim__> naxa if you need it in 30 min then use the live cd and fix it after
[22:11] <naxa> abcent: i did nothing special. I booted up, firefox, pidgin, and i clicked the "update" on 82 updates available text. everything went smoothly. then i turned off. i restarted and everything dead.
[22:11] <Jack_Sparrow> naxa: update or upgrade did this...  have you ever changed your sources list?  used scripts, gone outside our repos to install things etc
[22:11] <juano__> brb
[22:11] <naxa> Jack_Sparrow: simple update, i was running 7.10 already.
[22:11] <comicinker> otherman: that will take a while. dont't forget the stars. and if you don't find It, I have no ideas anymore
[22:11] <HateX> Flare183, my dhcp works... it's when i specify a static ip, the interface never changed to the ip i specify
[22:11] <GuHHH> i've a doubt about linux running on vmware... how do i configure the services IP's on the vmware linux? <IP_ADDRESS>? Will VMWARE translate the real interface address to the vmware's IP address?
[22:12] <abcent> naxa: oh my .... being a newbee my self, i should also take caution
[22:12] <seanw> Hey all.
[22:12] <seanw> Ultra newb question
[22:12] <Flare183> HateX:> ok then try ifconfig
[22:12] <seanw> I can't get MP3s to play - I thought when you try the system would try and find a codec...
[22:12] <seanw> It isn't doing.
[22:12] <seanw> ?

[22:12] <seanw> It is just freezing.
[22:12] <Jack_Sparrow> naxa: What about the rest of my question?
[22:12] <naxa> abcent: i was very pleased with ubuntu but now i'm totally gone mad. I even f*cked up my girlfriends mind too, poor she.
[22:12] <Jack_Sparrow> !mp3
[22:12] <Flare183> !mp3 | seanw
[22:12] <seanw> Flare183, ty will investigate
[22:12] <SirChris> my dear ubuntu users, can you help me??
[22:12] <ubotu> seanw: please see above
[22:12] <Jack_Sparrow> oops
[22:12] <otherman> comicinker: thanks :)
[22:12] <Shadow147> seanw get VCL player
[22:12] <Flare183> kk
[22:13] <comicinker> otherman: well, I have one more Idea: you can search for big files with gnome-search-tool
[22:13] <EdwardXP> g
[22:13] <SirChris> i am searching for a song for 5 hours on IRC now and noone talks ind the channels
[22:13] <Unknown> How do I control microphone options?
[22:13] <Shadow147> seanw get VLC player
[22:13] <ArthurArchnix> seanw ignore shawdow147
[22:13] <seanw> er
[22:13] <PriceChild> !offtopic | SirChris
[22:13] <abcent> naxa: before Ubuntu, what was you either using or had installed?
[22:13] <tim__> VLC is good
[22:13] <seanw> This is the problem with free software; )
[22:13] <ubotu> SirChris: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[22:13] <naxa> Jack_Sparrow: by default i didn't do anything. Fist i noticed nvidia driver doesn't work. i have Geforce2 MX 400. i used the old xorg.conf since this stupid idontknowwhattocallit owerwrite my default xorg.conf. but after that the driver was still only half usable.
[22:13] <HateX> Flare183, are you saying that after a specify my ip statically in the network gui app then i should run ifconfig to update the changes
[22:13] <tim__> !rename
[22:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rename - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[22:14] <SirChris> is there anyone who can help me and listen to that song and tell me the title plllzz: http://90chris.90.funpic.de/searching2.mp3
[22:14] <Shadow147> ArthurArchnix SHUT UP I AM JUST OFFERING HELP TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE
[22:14] <Unknown> How do I set microphone settings?
[22:14] <ArthurArchnix> seanw: VLC is a media player that does many things, plays videos, rips dvds, plays music, you name it. It is not necessary to install in order to play mp3.
[22:14] <Jack_Sparrow> !offtopic | SirChris
[22:14] <Flare183> HateX:> yeah you can try
[22:14] <SirChris> for example with alsamiver
[22:14] <ubotu> SirChris: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[22:14] <naxa> abcent: i recently used slackware. it s*cks couse no apt-get is avaliable, but it's stable and funny to learn. ubuntu is better in my opinion but this things drive me crazy
[22:14] <crimsun> Unknown: use the mixer applet in the upper right corner of the top panel.
[22:14] <SirChris> alsamixer -V capture
[22:14] <marina> again nothing
[22:15] <TBotNik> juano__: Tried the thing in the hosts file and it set all the domains to the "E:/Local Files" directory.  Need something else
[22:15] <HateX> Flare183, what does ifconfig do exactly?
[22:15] <Shadow147> ArthurArchnix plus I can't Stand Totem
[22:15] <SirChris> try that for the microphone
[22:15] <ArthurArchnix> Shadow147:  That's fine. But your advice is not necessary to get mp3's playing.
[22:15] <Flare183> HateX:>see the man page
[22:15] <naxa> abcent: the problem is that some of the auto mechanisms s*ck maybe
[22:15] <Flare183> open a terminal and type in man ifconfig
[22:15] <naxa> live-cd was a good idea anyway
[22:15] <abcent> naxa: so totaly reformatted HDD, or upgraded?
[22:15] <HateX> Flare183, thanx
[22:15] <Unknown> crimsun: Is there any way to have the microphone work outside  a program, like in windows?
[22:15] <seanw> Okay thanks guys./
[22:15] <Flare183> just keep trying
[22:15] <HateX> Has this channle been taken over>
[22:15] <Flare183> no
[22:16] <tim__> VLC is the best media player for linux AND windows at the moment
[22:16] <crimsun> Unknown: certainly.  That's the default behaviour.
[22:16] <naxa> abcent: it was a fresh hdd in the past when i installed but it's already full of stuff at the time. 6 gb is still free anyway
[22:16] <PriceChild> !best | tim__
[22:16] <brobostigon> vlc is very usefull
[22:16] <ubotu> tim__: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[22:16] <Nematocyst> tim__, could be the JPG you are trying to rename is on a fat32 filesystem
[22:16] <marina> how can i totaly remove atheros HAL
[22:16] <Unknown> crimsun: Sir, it isn't doing for me.
[22:16] <HateX> where are all the ops? and there are much more bots in here than usual
[22:16] <Ayako> http://www.junosora.com/wp/tigerscrane/wp-content/uploads/2006/08/final%20fantasy%20cosplay.jpg
[22:16] <Ayako> ca c mignio mdr
[22:16] <PriceChild> HateX, /msg chanserv access #ubuntu list
[22:16] <Shadow147> tim_ I use windows media player on my windows installation
[22:17] <brobostigon> one bot= ubotu
[22:17] <Ayako> oops dsl
[22:17] <crimsun> Unknown: is the 'Capture' element unmuted and maxed?
[22:17] <tim__> Nematocyst: yes it is, how do i rename it?
[22:17] <abcent> naxa: I'm curious only because I know things you've discribed can happen if install over an exsisting O/S
[22:17] <marina> how can i totaly remove atheros HAL
[22:17] <Unknown> crimsun: Is this within a program? If so, where do I find it?
[22:18] <Nematocyst> tim__, fat32 doesn't distinguish case.  you'll have to move it to a real (read linux) filesystem, or live with it.  you _may_ succeed by renaming something temporary then back
[22:18] <naxa> abcent: actually i don't know what happened...
[22:18] <dido^> hi
[22:18] <crimsun> Unknown: use the mixer (volume control) applet in the upper right corner of the top panel, aka the speaker icon.
[22:18] <marina> how can i totaly remove atheros HAL
[22:18] <HateX> well by 'bots' i mean irc zombies
[22:18] <Flare183> !rules | HateX
[22:18] <ubotu> HateX: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[22:19] <tim__> Nematocyst: thanks :)
[22:19] <marina> guys where r u again
[22:19] <Shadow147> Unknown what is your sound system a Analog or Digital
[22:19] <Nematocyst> tim__, np.  i forgot about your question until I saw you do !rename... sorry
[22:19] <sethk> In fact, even the 'bots are volunteers  :)
[22:19] <abcent> naxa: open a terminal type in: sudo synaptic
[22:19] <naxa> abcent: ok in full details. I was running 7.10, it worked. i made the update, restarted. i plug in an old hdd and copied some data. i recofnized that i had to set nvidia driver in low graphics mode after restarted which was very strange. i copied the data. i turned off and pull the extra hdd out. i restarted. it was low graphics mode again. i realized that something went wrong. i tryied my old xorg.conf. it worked but the screen was very unusual
[22:19] <naxa> .
[22:19] <sethk> marina, I'm not sure what you are trying to do
[22:20] <Unknown> crimsun: Thank you. That was it. It was muted. Again, thank you, Sir. ;)
[22:20] <sethk> marina, why would you need to remove it?
[22:20] <naxa> abcent: after that...
[22:20] <dim> hello, looking for a "beta" sources.list, anyone can send me?
[22:20] <tim__> Shadow147: do you also have to install a million codecs to play anything off the net?
[22:20] <Unknown> Shadow147: Not sure.
[22:20] <crimsun> Unknown: np.
[22:20] <kane77> sethk, I'm not sure ubotu wants to hang around here voluntarily ;)
[22:20] <marina> cuz its in use again
[22:20] <abcent> naxa: go through what you need installed
[22:20] <naxa> abcent: i tried to configure x but the display was on the left, not in the center, a little
[22:20] <sethk> marina, you can delete the kernel module, that will stop it from loading
[22:20] <juano__> TBotNik sorry i was away for 5 minutes, you said you tried it and it didnt work ?
[22:20] <Shadow147> tim_ VLC codecs are usually compiled in one package
[22:20] <marina> how to do that
[22:21] <Shadow147> if I remember correctly
[22:21] <tim__> :)
[22:21] <eNons3nse_> juano__: so i just copied some different stuff that i put on there a couple weeks ago and it's working fine.  could it just be the stuff i put on the mp3 player last night was written to a bad spot on the HD?
[22:21] <abcent> naxa: I did that on my son's pc ..... it unlocked so many items, which i couldn't do before
[22:21] <huppi> HI which tool is suited for repartitioning my hard drive without killing the data ?
[22:21] <naxa> abcent: i reinstalled nvidia-glx drivers, tried new, normal, legacy... none of them was recognized by the nvidia settings. 2 was accepted but there was no options. one wasn't recognized at all.

[22:21] <abcent> naxa: did you try terminal: nvidia settings
[22:22] <juano__> eNons3nse_: ehh ... weird huh, probably corrupt data, happened to my cell phone once, you know what it is ? i think i know
[22:22] <Flare183> !brandon try it without the crossover office
[22:22] <brandon_> like with wine?
[22:22] <juano__> eNons3nse_: when you connect it to linux box, a new dir appears called .Trash-something
[22:22] <geck1> Still no luck on the sound card Flare183
[22:22] <eNons3nse_> yeah
[22:22] <Flare183> brandon try it without the crossover office
[22:22] <naxa> abcent: yes, it says that's it's not an nvidia driver. i tryed build from source with envy. it gave an error and halted when building...

[22:23] <Flare183> geck1:> ok
[22:23] <eNons3nse_> juano__: often when i unmount my mp3 player it asks me if i want to empty it's trash.
[22:23] <juano__> eNons3nse_: sometimes that makes things a little messed up when accessing again, so be sure to remove that dir completely, its actually a safe dir just in case you want to recover lost files, i dont know depends on what you want more, safety or flexibility...
