[06:24] <geefinator> amishninja:  yep, sure did.  If you do ./configure --help it will list all the flags you can use to specify what you want php to use.
[06:24] <Eon_> soundray: is stays white
[06:24] <siloko> is it recommended to run anti-virus software on ubuntu?
[06:24] <Dr_Willis> siloko all the av software i know of.. scans files for windows viruses. :)
[06:24] <mbm1980> no
[06:24] <amishninja> geef: okay. so should I do some research on that probably? will I need to really be careful in how I use my flags?
[06:24] <zachary> viruses on linux? what?
[06:24] <USMarine> ye
[06:24] <Dr_Willis> siloko so if yu want to scan your windows drives.. go for it!
[06:24] <USMarine> but they can't run
[06:25] <USMarine> on linux
[06:25] <amishninja> wait. did you just say virus and linux in the same sentence without saying not?
[06:25] <Dr_Willis> !virus
[06:25] <ubotu> A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[06:25] <Timex> viruses are u joking
[06:25] <siloko> Dr_Willis: what eindows drives :)
[06:25] <Scunizi> siloko, only if you want to keep your W$ bretheren clean.. doesn't make a diff now on Linux
[06:25] <siloko> *windows*
[06:25] <Dr_Willis> siloko i guess you just answered your own question then.
[06:25] <siloko> OK thanks guys
[06:25] <Dark> How does one choose what video card to use for the installation at the xserver crash?
[06:25] <superkuh> Do I need two NICs to use two gateways?
[06:25] <geefinator> amishninja:  I would read through the flags, and don't worry about being careful, you can always reconfigure.
[06:26] <dan_l> Ok, so if I buy this laptop, what are the odds that Ubuntu is _not_ going to run on it?  Sorry, I just want to be sure here.
[06:27] <brickbat> so, any ideas on my mouse laptop problem
[06:27] <soundray> CH1P: Your card is supported in Ubuntu "out of the box". Try booting with the noapic option. Ubotu has some advice:
[06:27] <Stevethepirate> http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/7875/screenshot1gf1.png
[06:27] <superkuh> I have two gateways, each with a different ISP. They are both routers on the internal LAN. I have a machine with one NIC I'd like to use both gateways, perhaps even if I have to do it manually via bash. Any ideas?

[06:27] <Dr_Willis> dan_l depends on the laptop. :) most likely it will run. Theres always a chanve of little issues.
[06:27] <J-_>  Will the gnome pppoe client work with cable internet too?
[06:27] <Stevethepirate> I get that screwup for some reason... can anyone help me fix it?
[06:27] <Dr_Willis> dan_l thers various linis laptop web sites/forums out to check first.
[06:27] <mheath> So, anyone here have a wacom based tablet PC, and have problems with the tablet not working on coming back from suspend?
[06:27] <soundray> Eon_: what driver did you set it to?
[06:28] <Eon_> soundra: VESA right?
[06:28] <dan_l> Dr_Willis:  I've only found brief chat about this particular lt. I googled:  "Model + Ubuntu" and came up with only a few brief forum posts.
[06:28] <Eon_> soundray: VESA right?
[06:28] <soundray> Eon_: yes. What card do you have?
[06:29] <Dr_Willis> dan_l  try it with othe rdisrtos also.   if it has issues in one.it might have issues in others.
[06:29] <dan_l> Obviously, I'm going to leave VISTA on there just in case, but I'd like to learn Linux while I'm at it.
[06:29] <Eon_> soundray: its an onboar SiS
[06:29] <Dr_Willis> dan_l most common issues willbe wireless, and perhaps suspend/hibernate,   a lot depends on which chipset the laptop is using.
[06:29] <Dr_Willis> dan_l sound can be an issue with some laptops  also.
[06:29] <soundray> Eon_: just testing something here. I may drop out, but will come back.
[06:30] <Eon_> soundray: ok, thanks
[06:30] <dan_l> Dr_Willis:  I'm not concerned with suspend/hibernate, I don't really need sound.  Wireless is my only concern.
[06:30] <Stevethepirate> X- help please.... resolutions screwed!!! Urgent help please..
[06:30] <_> hi
[06:30] <qazwsx> how do I get /usr/include/gnu/stubs-32.h? (I'm on amd64)
[06:30] <USMarine> dan_l: wireless and sound works finr here in both suspends
[06:31] <Dr_Willis> dan_l then you should do some research on what chipset its using for wireless..
[06:31] <_> where on the site I can resitrate ?
[06:31] <soundray> Eon_: when do you get the white screen -- straight away, or only once you're logged in?
[06:31] <musashi> soundray, i snap`d a shot of the error im getting when loading ubuntu.  it is : 0.102302]  PCI: BIO BUG #81[xxxxxxxx]
[06:31] <Eon_> soundray: straight away
[06:32] <Ph> hi

[06:32] <Ph> can anyone help me with an Nvidia driver problem?
[06:32] <qazwsx> ls
[06:32] <ericb> does any one know if an intel cs110 webcam will work in ubuntu?
[06:32] <zachary> scunizi: i'm just doing fdisk through the terminal...the manual partitioner is too annoying
[06:32] <USMarine> Ph what?
[06:32] <soundray> musashi: I wouldn't be surprised if there was a connection. Sorry, I still won't be able to help you though.
[06:32] <Eon_> soundray: oh, when i type the password and the username the screen is still visible

[06:33] <Dark> Anyone know the command to select 1 of 2 video cards during the installation? I cant disable the onboard video and there are no jumpers or a bios function. Also the onboard is broke.
[06:33] <soundray> musashi: noapic perhaps -- see ubotu's private message
[06:33] <Ph> USMarine, after installing and enabling the nvidia-glx  package and having it work until reboot there's a mismatch between the versions installed
[06:33] <soundray> !bootoptions > musashi
[06:33] <Stevethepirate> soundray: hi.
[06:33] <Stevethepirate> can you help me.. my screen resolution is screwed
[06:33] <Stevethepirate> like.
[06:33] <USMarine> Ph the version must match the kernel version
[06:33] <Stevethepirate> x shows only part of the screen
[06:34] <Ph> it appears that the kernel module is from legacy and the other 1.9x
[06:34] <Stevethepirate> i've dpkg'ed and reconfigured many times.. to no avail.
[06:34] <soundray> Eon_: try switching back and forth between graphical and text mode: Ctrl-Alt-F2, then Ctrl-Alt-F7
[06:34] <Scunizi> zachary, ouch.. if you have another machine it might be worth the effort to download and burn the gparted live cd or System Rescue cd that has gparted on it.. boot to it and partition graphically.. I don't use fdisk on the terminal.. I've messed to many things up trying.
[06:34] <soundray> Stevethepirate: post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf on paste.ubuntu-nl.org and I'll have a look
[06:35] <Stevethepirate> Kk'
[06:35] <Stevethepirate> want a picture as well?

[06:35] <PhenGy> unable to compile eggdrop,  GCC error          what module must install ?

[06:35] <zachary> scunizi: i'm migrating from gentoo, i'm used to this nonsense...
[06:35] <Stevethepirate> soundray: duh :P
[06:35] <USMarine> Stevethepirate: the conf file is enough
[06:35] <brickbat> umm is someone thinking about my problem or am I just waiting for nothing?
[06:35] <USMarine> brickbat: what is it
[06:35] <amishninja> geef: Total change in direction. I decided that I want to try installing a virtual machine and putting all the php4 stuff on there so that I can separate things and keep them from messing each other up. can you recommend anything like VMWare?
[06:35] <soundray> Eon_: do you have a Ubuntu Desktop CD available?
[06:36] <Eon_> soundray: ok im just gonna have to reboot...but ill be right back
[06:36] <soundray> Eon_: hold on...
[06:36] <brickbat> I have a hp laptop and when I try to use a ps/2 mouse it wont work
[06:36] <musashi> soundray, putting '#'s in front of whole grub lines will make them not show up, correct?
[06:37] <soundray> musashi: you'd have to # out the entire section from title... to boot
[06:37] <Stevethepirate> soundray, USMarine : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4027
[06:37] <musashi> soundray, ok
[06:37] <romaxmaniax> hello guys
[06:37] <USMarine> brickbat: post your xorg.conf in a past site
[06:37] <Dark> Anyone know the command to select 1 of 2 video cards during the installation? I cant disable the onboard video and there are no jumpers or a bios function. Also the onboard is broke.
[06:37] <soundray> Stevethepirate: there's something wrong with that url
[06:38] <soundray> Eon_: do you have a live CD?
[06:38] <USMarine> brickbat:  http://eugeneciurana.com/pastebin
[06:38] <romaxmaniax> is there someone that can help me with decnet on feisty ?
[06:38] <USMarine> Stevethepirate: http://eugeneciurana.com/pastebin
[06:38] <Dark> I mean there is no bios function to kill the onboard
[06:38] <Eon_> soundray: yeah...im running it right now
[06:38] <Stevethepirate> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4027
[06:38] <amishninja> Anyone know of a good virtual OS program like VMWare for Linux?
[06:38] <soundray> Stevethepirate: no, that's wrong
[06:38] <Stevethepirate> soundray: huhs?
[06:39] <soundray> Eon_: excellent, let's try a fix from here then.
[06:39] <USMarine> amishninja: vmware
[06:39] <Esteth> amishninja: vmware
[06:39] <romaxmaniax> amishninja : vmware server
[06:39] <soundray> Stevethepirate: check it out for yourself. It's not well-formed.
[06:39] <USMarine> Stevethepirate: paste in the site i just gave you
[06:39] <soundray> Eon_: do you know the /dev/-name of your root partition?
[06:40] <brickbat> ok it will take me a few minutes
[06:40] <Eon_> soundray: yeah i think...isnt it the username?
[06:40] <musashi> soundray, it shows only one line being edited on that URL, mine has two lines with /boot/. do i add it to the last one?
[06:40] <magnetron> amishninja: virtualbox or qemu
[06:40] <frojnd> Is there any magazine about linux ?
[06:40] <amishninja> oh awesome, VMware is on linux. last I remember it was just windows. score!
[06:40] <soundray> Eon_: no
[06:40] <soundray> Eon_: something like /dev/sda1
[06:40] <Stevethepirate> http://eugeneciurana.com/pastebin/pastebin.php?show=4723
[06:40] <amishninja> thanks guys
[06:40] <Dr_Willis> vmware has been for linux for years..
[06:40] <Dr_Willis> :)
[06:40] <amishninja> ...
[06:40] <amishninja> SHUT UP, OKAY?!
[06:40] <amishninja> :(
[06:40] <stefg> !virtualizers
[06:40] <ubotu> There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu or !qvm86), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications
[06:40] <genii> frojnd: Linux Format
[06:41] <J-_> Will mainly all old IBM computer's work with Ubuntu? Or, is that just not very specific? I don't know the computer model, etc..
[06:41] <USMarine> Stevethepirate: remove those modeline
[06:41] <Dr_Willis> vmware-server is 'free'  if you go to the vmwre web site and get a serial # from them.
[06:41] <magnetron> !language | amishninja
[06:41] <ubotu> amishninja: Please watch your language and topic, and keep this channel family friendly.
[06:41] <amishninja> It was a joke, no worries
[06:41] <Stevethepirate> USMarine: all of the lines containing modeline?
[06:41] <genii> J-_: Anything after 386, with enough memory
[06:41] <USMarine> omfg
[06:41] <USMarine> you got 2 monitor sections
[06:41] <Stevethepirate> lols
[06:42] <Stevethepirate> that sounds phail.
[06:42] <Stevethepirate> okay
[06:42] <J-_> genii: awesome thanks =D
[06:42] <romaxmaniax> nobody can help with decnet ??? please ???
[06:42] <Stevethepirate> well. thats what nvidia dpkg--reconfigure does
[06:42] <USMarine> hmm
[06:42] <Eon_> soundray: hmmm...im afraid not then...if that is the deafault name then it must be it :p
[06:42] <genii> J-_: np
[06:42] <soundray> Stevethepirate: also, remove the Virtual 1280 1024 line
[06:43] <Stevethepirate> soundray: so those modeline lines must gtfo?
[06:43] <Gerr2> Hi Tyler
[06:43] <spazzyteapot> Anyone here know Java?
[06:43] <USMarine> seems FUBAR
[06:43] <Stevethepirate> spazzyteapot: he's no in today :P
[06:43] <spazzyteapot> I'm here via the Java IRC applett, and can't get to #java.
[06:43] <Dr_Willis> !java
[06:43] <Stevethepirate> *not
[06:43] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[06:43] <USMarine> spazzyteapot: sure
[06:44] <soundray> Eon_: do a 'sudo fdisk -l' and tell me which one looks like your root partition. It's probably the biggest one of those with an ext3 filesystem on.
[06:44] <Stevethepirate> spazzyteapot: yeah.. can help.
[06:44] <soundray> Stevethepirate: yes
[06:44] <babyTux> Can someone help me how to do the equivalent a ipconfig /release (/renew) in linux

[06:44] <romaxmaniax> babyTux: dhclient look @ manpage
[06:44] <Stevethepirate> soundray: okay, modelines and virtual lines gone..
[06:45] <J-_> Does roger's use a static or dhcp configuration?
[06:45] <spazzyteapot> Stevethepirate, USMarine: I'm learning Java, and my switch statement won't compile.
[06:45] <USMarine> Stevethepirate: try it out
[06:45] <Eon_> soundray: /dev/hdc3
[06:45] <Innomen> thank you :(
[06:45] <USMarine> spazzyteapot: must be a syntax error
[06:45] <Stevethepirate> spazzyteapot: do you break after each case of the switch?
[06:45] <soundray> Eon_: ugh, do you have three disk drives?
[06:45] <Stevethepirate> USMarine: try out as is now?
[06:45] <J-_> doot
[06:45] <Stevethepirate> soundray: i have 6 ATM
[06:45] <Stevethepirate> :P
[06:46] <spazzyteapot> Stevethepirate: yes.
[06:46] <soundray> Eon_: or is your hard drive connected to the secondary IDE channel?
[06:46] <Stevethepirate> kk
[06:46] <USMarine> you're using the that computer at the moment?
[06:46] <Stevethepirate> spazzyteapot: pastebin the code
[06:46] <zachary> scunizi: okay, got it all working, the part i wasnt getting was that the extended partition is made, as /dev/sda4 for example, and partitions can be created inside of the extended partition...so i should have made an extended one first that went to the end of the drive and then made more partitions....thanks for the discussion, have a good day.
[06:46] <spazzyteapot> http://p.opsat.net/recent - it's the one titled "Java Mistakes".
[06:46] <Eon_> soundray: a small one for win xp, a swap partition and the main partition with ubuntu on it
[06:46] <pete83> Can somebody please tell me how to fix the following command?

[06:46] <USMarine> zachary: try LVM next time
[06:46] <soundray> Eon_: I said disk drives, not partitions
[06:46] <zachary> USMarine: whats LVM
[06:47] <Scunizi> zachary, glad you got it worked out.  The actual install should go a lot smoother.. :-)
[06:47] <babyTux> dhclient reports no DHCP offers

[06:50] <hayesb69> How do I mount a slave hard drive?

[06:54] <magnetron> boubbin: you could use 7-zip to extract tar files on windows. don't ask me about winrar
[06:54] <Ph> boubbin, 7-zip is, and it's free software
[06:54] <bruenig> gksudo gedit you mean
[06:54] <musashi> soundray, still get the PCI BIOS BUG #81 thing
[06:54] <soundray> mik3: sorry

[06:55] <Stevethepirate> the bots on some servers are dodgy :P
[06:55] <musashi> ill let you know if it works
[06:56] <Eon_> soundray: sorry...still nothing there :(
[06:56] <AngryElf_> magnetron: my guess is a pwoer cycle would make it show up, but i'm remote right now so I Can't do that :(
[06:56] <AngryElf_> maybe restart the USB service?
[06:56] <soundray> Eon_: did you type it with a capital X?

[06:57] <soundray> Eon_: it must be me again then
[06:57] <Seipher> I just recently did the upgrade from Feisty to the Gutsy beta/preview(?) and I am finding that compiz performance is significantly worse than it was when I installed trevino's stuff in Fiesty.
[06:57] <soundray> Eon_: I meant 'gksudo gedit /mnt/etc/X11/xorg.conf'
[06:58] <Eon_> soundray: ok now were rolling
[06:58] <soundray> Eon_: I have to log off soon, I'm no big help today
[06:58] <Seipher> Is anyone else finding that.  I am using a low end Radeon Mobility with the opensource drivers but like I said it wasn't a problem in Fiesty
[06:58] <soundray> Seipher: gutsy problem? #ubuntu+1
[06:59] <Seipher> right sorry just saw that
[06:59] <Seipher> thanks

[06:59] <Stevethepirate> soundray: i cant.. need an actual -.txt- i can download
[06:59] <Stevethepirate> to rename to xorg.conf

[07:01] <Munchkinguy> Are there any good free-software-oriented Beginner Programming books? Computer Programming for Dummies is great, but it is based on Microsoft Visual Studio.

[07:03] <soundray> Stevethepirate: congrats, you've made my ignore list now.
[07:03] <Stevethepirate> luls

[07:04] <brickbat> ok here is my xorg http://eugeneciurana.com/pastebin/pastebin.php?show=4725
[07:04] <Jack_Sparrow> Stevethepirate: Whats that...?
[07:04] <Pirate_Hunter> How do i stop USB devices from terminal?
[07:04] <wilhart> does anyone have internet dj console up and running?
[07:04] <soundray> Pirate_Hunter: eject /media/whatever
[07:04] <Eon_> soundray: maybe...do you know any way of shutting down an application manually
[07:04] <pbandj> hi all, everytime i boot up my machine my screen goes dead as im about to launch gnome.  i booted to command line and it worked fine. then i typed in startx and it crapped out on me again.  i think it might be one of two things happening. i installed an extra 500 gig drive last night and i also changed some i.ps around.  can anyone offer a suggestion?  how can i check what the ip on this machine is?
[07:04] <soundray> Eon_: what application?
[07:04] <Jack_Sparrow> kill
[07:05] <kane77> anyone here uses screenlets? how do I make them start at startup? I checked the checkbox, and the program added the screenlet to programs to be run at startup, but not all start (only 1-2 random ones) :/
[07:05] <Pirate_Hunter> soundray: what if it is a scanner?
[07:05] <USMarine> Stevethepirate: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/40274/
[07:05] <zachary> pbandj: have the X11 log? maybe /var/log/X...
[07:05] <Eon_> soundray: the one that is making the desktop effects System > Preferences > Desktop Effecta
[07:05] <brickbat> USmarine: did you get my xorg?
[07:06] <USMarine> brickbat: i'm afraid not
[07:06] <pbandj> zachary: i just booted into safemode. i will check that log
[07:06] <Eon_> soundray: thats the one i selected
[07:06] <furenku> hello! i want to have a realtime kernel, but with the nvidia drivers too; there is an nvidia installer that asks for a precompiled kernel, how can i point it to the realtime kernel?
[07:06] <brickbat> USmarine: http://eugeneciurana.com/pastebin/pastebin.php?show=4725
[07:07] <USMarine> brickbat: what's the problem again?
[07:07] <Stevethepirate> USMarine: shot.
[07:07] <Stevethepirate> got it
[07:07] <Eon_> soundray: before the screen turned white
[07:07] <USMarine> ah, the ps2 mouse
[07:07] <brickbat> i cannot get an external mouse connected to the ps/2 port to work on my hp laptop
[07:08] <soundray> Eon_: it's not an application. What this does is to change a setting somewhere, but I don't know where. I would normally expect the reconfiguring of xorg to turn it back. Clearly, that hasn't worked for you. Let me think...
[07:08] <Jack_Sparrow> brickbat: check your bios/cmos settings..
[07:08] <cizarr> hi, when i try to connect to any app(firefox,xchat...) over the internet , it RESET my connection.. but when i try second time, it works(connection is not reset, i can load the page for e.g)
[07:08] <vattam> hi all
[07:08] <vattam> I need to run conio.h in my c program and for that i have to locate the file on the system
[07:08] <vattam> Can anybody help me locate it?
[07:08] <brickbat> umm check for what?
[07:08] <USMarine> vattam: localte conio.h
[07:08] <USMarine> locate*
[07:09] <maxdoubt> is there a command-line installer for ubuntu?
[07:09] <Pici> vattam: I thought conio.h was for turbo c/c++. I could be wrong though
[07:09] <USMarine> maxdoubt: yes
[07:09] <Jack_Sparrow> maxdoubt: alternate cd..
[07:09] <USMarine> brickbat: xorg seems ok
[07:09] <profanephobia> is there a way to install my brother fax machine as a scanner to send images to hylafax?
[07:09] <pbandj> zachary: im in the log folder. which log should i open?
[07:10] <USMarine> must be something with the bios
[07:10] <maxdoubt> USMarine, Jack_Sparrow: thx
[07:10] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[07:10] <brickbat> it works fine in XP
[07:10] <vattam> Pici: It is basically for TC but there are files through which we can run it , atleast thats what google says
[07:10] <USMarine> brickbat: try
[07:10] <soundray> Eon_: check out http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/40276/ -- I've only disabled DRI in line 20. Make the same change in your gedit and save the file. Then reboot and see if it works.
[07:10] <Jack_Sparrow> brickbat: This isnt XP
[07:10] <brickbat> if it were the bios then it shouldnt work in any os
[07:10] <USMarine> brickbat: sudo cat /dev/input/mice
[07:11] <USMarine> and move the mouse
[07:11] <zachary> pbandj: probably called Xorg0.log
[07:11] <tyler_d> listing usb devices? eg. /dev/sda?
[07:11] <Jack_Sparrow> brickbat: XP might force a detection.. stupid NOT to at least check
[07:11] <pbandj> wait a sec. i think i also updated a driver too.  i think that may be the cause.
[07:11] <zachary> pbandj: or Xorg.0.log
[07:11] <pbandj> zachary: there is nothing with an "x" in my log
[07:11] <pbandj> how to i reset my display settings?
[07:11] <Jack_Sparrow> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:11] <USMarine> pbandj: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:12] <pete83> f
[07:12] <Jack_Sparrow> play nice..cya
[07:12] <profanephobia> is there a way to install my brother fax machine as a scanner to send images to hylafax?
[07:13] <haru> how do i set alt tab to change application window
[07:13] <Eon_> soundray: isnt it missing a bit of text? in the end
[07:13] <zachary> pbandj: i dont know what adding a harddrive would do...did you update gnome or X or video card drivers or anything, can you see anything besides the TTY?
[07:14] <brickbat> very little happens...after lots of moving, I get 8???8???????8?????8?????????
[07:14] <soundray> Eon_: possible. I only pasted back what you pasted. Just make the change in line 20.
[07:14] <brickbat> and it seems to be delayed
[07:14] <vattam> USMarine: http://en.allexperts.com/q/Unix-Linux-OS-1064/conio-h.htm this link here says that i have to find the package that has the file
[07:14] <brickbat> so it takes a few second before it is displayed
[07:14] <USMarine> vattam: install gcc
[07:14] <vattam> USMarine: and gives some RPM technique
[07:14] <vattam> USMarine: its already installed
[07:14] <USMarine> brickbat: hmm, that's not normal
[07:15] <vattam> USMarine: locate didnt fetch any results
[07:15] <haru> how do i set alt tab to change application window
[07:15] <whatspy> hi, how can I add more bass to my music in ubuntu ?
[07:15] <vattam> USMarine: but how to do it on Ubuntu it doesnt say
[07:15] <soundray> haru: it's already set that way, unless you're on a Mac.
[07:15] <brickbat> lol I know that
[07:15] <USMarine> whatspy: increase the bass fader
[07:15] <haru> soundray, well its unset somehow
[07:15] <whatspy> USMarine? how?
[07:15] <haru> how do i reset it
[07:16] <USMarine> open the mixer
[07:16] <Eon_> soundray: ok ill check it out...oh if that doesnt work....can i install ntfs config using the live cd...if so id be able to keep my data you know...but the synaptic manager doesnt have ntfs config on its list
[07:16] <cld2> anyone know how to burn a dvd that doesnt have the windows fs constrains? like only letting a dir structure have 255 chars and converting filenames to 32 chars? is that roundrock or juliete? thanks.
[07:16] <soundray> haru: System-Preferences-Keyboard shortcuts: Window Management - Move between windows with poput
[07:16] <soundray> *popup
[07:16] <RancidLM> hey all i have a partition error and need to re-install my system is there any way synaptic can save a list a packages i have installed, so i can run the list after i re-install to get all the apps i have back?
[07:17] <brickbat> umm isnt it rockridge
[07:17] <haru> soundray, thanks
[07:17] <stefg> !clone | RancidLM
[07:17] <ubotu> RancidLM: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type  dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages , move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type  sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade  - See also !automate
[07:17] <soundray> Eon_: ntfs config? Do you mean ntfs-3g?
[07:18] <RancidLM> thanks stefg!
[07:18] <profanephobia> is there a way to install my brother fax machine as a scanner to send images to hylafax  or get the images the fax machine makes and use them somehow?
[07:18] <Lawliet> Hi.  I keep getting an error when I try to compile something.    I installed libxml-dev, though I am not sure what to type for the gtk. :/
[07:18] <Eon_> soundray: maybe...does that gives the permission write on ntfs?
[07:19] <soundray> profanephobia: probably via a fax modem
[07:19] <soundray> Eon_: yes
[07:19] <PhilH> Hi guys, i've got an nvidia driver conflict, can anyone help?
[07:19] <USMarine> Lawliet: use synaptic and search for gtk+
[07:19] <Lawliet> USMarine: Thanks, will try.
[07:19] <PhilH> Error: API mismatch to be specific
[07:20] <cherva> I have a problem with superkaramba the widgets aren't updating. In my previous install I didn't had this problem pls help
[07:20] <PhilH> it appears that 1.0-7184 and 1.0-9631 have both been installed at one point and the two are now interfering with eachother
[07:20] <stefg> PhilH: did you use envy or automatix ?
[07:20] <soundray> Eon_: could you repaste your entire xorg.conf -- I want to see the bottom of it as well pls
[07:20] <PhilH> stefg, neither
[07:21] <fevel> PhilH, remove both drivers and use envy to install it
[07:21] <stefg> !envy
[07:21] <ubotu> envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[07:21] <brickbat> USmarine: any further ideas?
[07:21] <Lawliet> A very long list of items comes up and I'm a complete newb  Any clue which I install?
[07:21] <stefg> fevel: don't recomend envy
[07:21] <PhilH> fevel, i've removed both and reinstalled the correct one already, it appears 1.0-7 sticks around
[07:21] <USMarine> Lawliet: gtk+ ....-dev
[07:21] <USMarine> something like it
[07:21] <fevel> I really dont believe that stefg
[07:21] <Lawliet> USMarine: Thank ye :)
[07:22] <Eon_> soundray: well...i think i kinda screwd up...i erased that from the xorg conference by pasting what was on the pastebin
[07:22] <stefg> PhilH: what card do you have ?
[07:22] <PhilH> fevel, scripts like that are generally a bad move
[07:22] <Eon_> soundray: now it wont work right?
[07:22] <PhilH> stefg, Geforce4 MX460
[07:22] <soundray> Eon_: did you save already?
[07:22] <Yancho> i used to authenticate some days ago to my pg server .. now i rebooted the server and can't connect .. any idea where i can start seeing where is the problem please? (not very linux friendly here)
[07:22] <Eon_> soundray: im afraid so
[07:22] <PhilH> i've had it working immediately after reinstalling the packages, after a reboot it breaks
[07:23] <stefg> PhilH: so you'd need the nvidia-glx-legacy
[07:23] <fevel> PhilH, is there a easier way
[07:23] <PhilH> stefg, no, i don't think so
[07:23] <USMarine> yes
[07:23] <USMarine> MX use legacy
[07:23] <stefg> !info nvidia-glx-legacy
[07:23] <ubotu> nvidia-glx-legacy: NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x/X.Org 'legacy' driver. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1.0.7184+<IP_ADDRESS>-16.29 (feisty), package size 2992 kB, installed size 9780 kB
[07:23] <PhilH> i don't need glx-new but i'm fairly sure glx-legacy isn't right either
[07:23] <soundray> Eon_: have a look at /mnt/etc/X11/ -- there is probably an xorg.conf backup floating around. Copy it back, or, if you're unsure whether it's good, pastebin it for me to look at.
[07:24] <musashi> soundray, im in vista now, and when i booted it auto installed the broadcom adapter. should i try booting linux then coming back to see if it is stll there?
[07:24] <brickbat> USmarine: ?
[07:24] <ublin_> join #ubuntu-it
[07:24] <PhilH> the driver works initially, the problem only presents itself after rebooting the machine
[07:24] <stefg> PhilH: first remove nvidia-glx and possibly restricted-modules, then reinstall nvidia-glx-legacy
[07:24] <soundray> musashi: yeah, if you don't mind all that booting... I'll be here for another 15 minutes max.
[07:25] <USMarine> brickbat: i've no idea, try googling if someone had the same problem
[07:25] <musashi> soundray, k im off
[07:25] <PhilH> stefg, the package info suggests that nvidia-glx is the correct option for Geforce4
[07:25] <zachary> how do i get a 32bit firefox so i can have flash on my amd64
[07:25] <PhilH> i've tried removing it all and reinstalling to no avail
[07:25] <pbandj> c
[07:25] <USMarine> zachary: i use firefox 64bit with flash
[07:25] <soundray> !flash64 > zachary, please read ubotu's private message
[07:25] <Eon_> soundray: check it out
[07:26] <danstah_> can anyone help with webcam-server... i have it in my webpage with all the java stuff there but it hangs on connecting please wait
[07:26] <stefg> Phil: Oh, then sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic , then sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r`
[07:26] <G_Nine> sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
[07:26] <tyler_d> auto mounting a usb external drive in fiesty 64?
[07:26] <pbandj> ok, i got my desktop working again. but my display settings are all wrong. i remember last time that it was a huge pain getting it setup. and now it's gon, again. can anyone give me a hin on what i need to do to get my nvidia card working right?
[07:26] <danstah_> http://cc.usu.edu/~danmorgan/webcam.html
[07:27] <soundray> Eon_: what's the filename for that one?
[07:27] <danstah_> it works as just the address to display a single picture
[07:27] <darkchr0n0s> 7 days to go :(
[07:27] <darkchr0n0s> is there a #ubuntu-1 ?
[07:27] <darkchr0n0s> for older versions
[07:28] <gnomefreak> darkchr0n0s: its for unstable versions
[07:28] <gnomefreak> older versions are in here
[07:28] <stefg> darkchr0n0s: older than dapper is !eol
[07:28] <Eon_> soundray: xorg.conf.20071011150110
[07:28] <darkchr0n0s> oh..
[07:28] <stefg> !eol
[07:28] <ubotu> End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Website/LifeCycle
[07:28] <darkchr0n0s> LTS ones are to be supported too
[07:28] <soundray> Eon_: it looks good. Copy it back with 'sudo cp /mnt/etc/X11/xorg.conf.20071011150110 /mnt/etc/X11/xorg.conf', reboot and see if you still get white screens.
[07:29] <deitarion> I'm a Gentoo-using application developer who wants to make source packages and feed them to my Launchpad PPA for building. Will I need any tools other than the Gentoo packages equivalent to build-essential, dpkg, gnupg, diff, and patch?
[07:30] <stefg> deitarion: join #ubuntu-motu
[07:30] <musashi> soundray, its gone again.  it seems that if i shut down the PC then boot into windows when i turn it it on, it comes back.
[07:30] <Pici> !packaging > deitarion (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[07:30] <musashi> soundray, displaying a message that new software is being instaled, then it works
[07:31] <musashi> soundray, its once i boot into ubuntu that it fails when i restart and go into windows
[07:31] <soundray> musashi: okay, so the ubuntu probe somehow hangs the hardware.
[07:31] <musashi> soundray, yea, it would seem so...
[07:31] <deitarion> Pici: I'm reading the packaging guide already. I came here because it assumes I'm working on a debian-based system rather than building source packages on Gentoo and then pushing them to a PPA.
[07:31] <danstah_> can anyone help with webcam-server... i have it in my webpage with all the java stuff there but it hangs on connecting please wait
[07:32] <Pici> deitarion: Ah, sorry. :)
[07:32] <Eon_> soundray: i think you forgot the rest of the lines...they were 150 of them and now there are only 106...do i leave it that way?
[07:32] <musashi> soundray, is there no way to skip all probing upon bootup, or would that just make everything fail?
[07:32] <nilu> How do i make vlc play x264 .mkv
[07:32] <Pici> deitarion: Just warning you that the motu's are a bit busy since the Gutsy release is in a week.
[07:32] <_Sander_> Eloisa: oi menininha
[07:33] <soundray> musashi: sorry, I don't really know what to do about that. Perhaps ask in ##linux for a boot option, but have thick skin ;)
[07:33] <deitarion> Pici: My brother and his friend will be happy about that. (I run Gentoo, my mother, brother, and a friend run Kubuntu)
[07:33] <skynexus_> hello there, I have a question regarding amsn, could someone help?
[07:33] <student_23> skynexus_, As far as i know there's an amsn channel at freenode #amsn
[07:33] <_Sander_> what driver can i use for my radeon 9200se in dapper?
[07:33] <student_23> student_23, Try asking there
[07:33] <soundray> Eon_: I didn't forget anything. Your original post contained 106 lines. Did you get my line about copying the backup back? I'll repeat it.
[07:34] <soundray> Eon_: it looks good. Copy it back with 'sudo cp /mnt/etc/X11/xorg.conf.20071011150110 /mnt/etc/X11/xorg.conf', reboot and see if you still get white screens.
[07:34] <skynexus_> student_23: ok, I'll go there then, thanks!

[07:37] <soundray> Eon_: is it worth me hanging around, or are you settled?
[07:37] <_Sander_> fevel: ya its bot
[07:37] <_Sander_> fevel: can help-me?
[07:37] <fevel> hes speaking portufuese and not spanish
[07:37] <Pici> fevel: the bot did the portuguese factoid
[07:38] <USMarine> yep, i speak pt as well
[07:38] <fevel> _Sander_, pergunta no canal #ubuntu-br porra
[07:38] <fevel> _Sander_, rsrsrsr

[07:38] <_Sander_> :P
[07:38] <fevel> soundray, smart bot =)
[07:38] <Eon_> soundray: im trying to copy it with all lines...because maybe its relevant
[07:39] <soundray> Eon_: don't copy anything from the pastebin any more now. Just use the cp line I've suggested twice now. Do you read me?
[07:39] <fevel> whats the problem _Sander_ , say it in english so others can help
[07:39] <phoo_> after installing the nvidia drivers, jack does not recognize my soundcard; any ideas on how to bring the drivers for a usb soundcard back to work?
[07:40] <Eon_> soundray: well, yeah but ive done it but nothing happens
[07:40] <soundray> Eon_: what are you expecting? It's a file copy operation. You have to reboot now to test whether restoring worked. I said that twice as well!
[07:40] <niina> What do i type in the terminal to kill firefox?
[07:41] <fevel> _Sander_, use envy though people here just started saying it breaks systems although I never saw an issue

[07:41] <v3ctor>  kill firefox
[07:41] <Eon_> soundray: sorry i didnt know that
[07:41] <v3ctor> what happened to my p
[07:41] <soundray> v3ctor: don't reply unless you've got a rough idea.
[07:41] <phoo_> how can i see whether my soundcard modules are loaded?
[07:41] <v3ctor> soundray: i do have a rough idea
[07:41] <v3ctor> my p in pkill didn't ceom through
[07:42] <v3ctor> come*

[07:42] <Testa> hi
[07:43] <Testa> is it possible to "apt-get install" something while running the Live distro?
[07:43] <soundray> Testa: yes
[07:44] <carnage_> its installed and running however... i'm lacking minimise/maximize and close buttons on all my windows
[07:44] <soundray> Testa: it'll be lost after reboot, obviously.
[07:46] <fevel> can someone explain to me better about the envy issues?
[07:46] <Kyoti> how do i change the computer name?
[07:46] <Testa> soundray: ok, but it is possible nevertheless...
[07:46] <fevel> and why people told me not to use it
[07:46] <pete83> fevel: yeah, you have something, and I want it
[07:46] <fevel> pete83, lol, you sure know abou envy
[07:47] <fevel> pete83, envy is a tool for installing nvidia and ati drivers
[07:47] <USMarine> Kyoti: sudo nano /etc/hostname
[07:47] <USMarine> reboot
[07:47] <Kyoti> thanks
[07:47] <cox377> how do i reload this script? /etc/ntp.conf
[07:47] <Kyoti> quit
[07:47] <pete83> fevel:cool, I thought it was just for nvidia
[07:48] <USMarine> cox377: /etc/init.d/ntp restart ?
[07:48] <phoo_> how can i fix my usb soundcard not being recognized? it did work before
[07:48] <fevel> pete83, nope, just got ati drivers running yesterday
[07:48] <pete83> fevel: which ones?
[07:48] <fevel> pete83, although, people seem to be saying that it sucks and I shouldnt use it
[07:48] <dgjones> fevel, if you use envy, it probably will work, but you do have problems afterwards, whenever the Ubuntu kernel gets a security update or anything major changes, you normally find that your xserver stops working and you lose gnome until you've removed the drivers that envy installs and then you have to go through the mess of reinstalling them, its a lot easier with the nvidia from the repo's as you don't have that problem
[07:49] <jorik808> how do i convert flac/ogg/wma/etc... to mp3?
[07:49] <cox377> USMarine: i've set
[07:49] <cox377> ntp.ubuntu.com
[07:49] <cox377> server uk.pool.ntp.org
[07:49] <fevel> dgjones, oh really! thanks for the tip
[07:49] <cox377> restarted but the time is still showing wrong
[07:49] <fevel> dgjones, especially since gutsy coming by soon
[07:49] <dgjones> fevel, your welcome
[07:49] <pete83> fevel: the fglrx 8.41 driver?
[07:50] <fevel> pete83, didnt know there was more than one
[07:50] <soundray> jorik808: decode to wav, then re-encode.
[07:50] <pete83> fevel: I just mean, version 8.42 should probably be out in a week or so (going by their past release schedule), and 8.42 will be the first one with support for AIGLX and desktop effects
[07:50] <jay> hello
[07:51] <fevel> pete83, ooooh
[07:51] <skynexus_> hello again, I have a question on amsn, tried talking to someone over at #amsn but the channel seems deserted, could someone help?
[07:51] <fevel> pete83, so thats why I couldnt get desktop effects working!
[07:51] <jorik808> soundray, what program can i use to decode flac to wav ?
[07:51] <fevel> pete83, must be the older one
[07:52] <pete83> fevel: Well, it's not out yet, but they promised it would be included this time
[07:52] <fevel> pete83, so thats why nvidia is up front when it comes to linux compatability?
[07:52] <kane77> how do I make screenlets start when I start ubuntu?
[07:53] <stefg> kane77: add a command in the session autostart settings
[07:53] <Alex_Gaynor> How do I upgrade to the gutsy gibbon beta for an ubunu server install?
[07:53] <soundray> jorik808: flac -d file.flac
[07:54] <jorik808> soundray, thanks !
[07:54] <kane77> stefg, but there are.. they just don't start all.. I have like 6 and only 1-2 start (random ones...)
[07:54] <soundray> !upgrade > Alex_Gaynor
[07:54] <USMarine> Alex_Gaynor:  replace feisty with gutsy in sources then aptitude update && aptitude dist-upgrade
[07:54] <tomd> hi, I was wondering why ubuntu assigned the device /dev/sda to my hd instead of hda. I'm assuming it is emulating scsi, but i'm not sure. when I run hdparm, the settings look different than usual.. it seems performance is better if I don't emulate scsi
[07:54] <stefg> Alex_Gaynor: don't ... wait until release,
[07:54] <tomd> anyone else have this happen? also, is there a way to get the vendor information from the hard drive?
[07:55] <stefg> kane77: then it's probably some bug with screenlets
[07:55] <olimpico> Can I use flash under 64 bit firefox?
[07:55] <olimpico> Is that possible?
[07:55] <Alex_Gaynor> What is the difference between aptittude and apt-get
[07:55] <olimpico> Can someone tell me?
[07:55] <Pici> !flash64 > olimpico (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[07:55] <USMarine> tomd: sudo hdparm -i /dev/sda
[07:55] <brandon_> Has Gutsy been delayed?
[07:55] <USMarine> olimpico:  yes, i'm using it
[07:55] <Pici> brandon_: No
[07:55] <Pici> brandon_: Not yet at least.
[07:55] <kane77> stefg, the screenlets automaticaly add a starter in form /path/to/screenlet > /dev/null should that work?
[07:55] <stefg> !rc
[07:55] <ubotu> The Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon RC will be out 2 hours after the last person asked.
[07:56] <tomd> USMarine: thanks, that gives more info
[07:56] <brandon_> Pici, it said 8 days on the site yesterday O_o
[07:56] <olimpico> I want to use 64 bit firefox
[07:56] <phoo_> after installing the nvidia drivers, jack does not recognize my soundcard; any ideas on how to bring the drivers for a usb soundcard back to work?
[07:56] <pete83> fevel: if you're interested in that sort of stuff, the best site for linux video driver reviews and benchmarks seems to be http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=category&item=Graphics
[07:56] <olimpico> Is that possible? Or I have to install the 32 bit Firefox?
[07:56] <USMarine> olimpico: it's easier in gutsy
[07:56] <PriceChild> !gutsy | brandon_
[07:56] <ubotu> brandon_: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 18th, 2007) | It is development software, and as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1 | See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GutsyGibbon for more information
[07:56] <stefg> kane77: looks sane, but i can't really tell because i do't use screenlets
[07:56] <PriceChild> USMarine, please don't suggest gutsy in this channel
[07:56] <olimpico> I'm using Feisty 7.04
[07:56] <fevel> pete83, thank you very much
[07:56] <brandon_> exit
[07:56] <PriceChild> olimpico, 32 bit or 64bit ubuntu?
[07:56] <soundray> jorik808: still here?
[07:57] <olimpico> Pici: 64 bit Ubuntu
[07:57] <jorik808> soundray, yup
[07:57] <Pici> olimpico: Did you read the links ubotu sent you?
[07:57] <kane77> stefg, well I mean the > /dev/null part.. afaik that should only redirect any console output to /dev/null
[07:57] <src> greetings
[07:57] <soundray> jorik808: you also need to define an output filename using the -o option, otherwise it decodes to /dev/null apparently.
[07:57] <olimpico> PriceChild: 64 bit ubuntu, I would like to know if it's possible to use flash under the 64 bit firefox
[07:57] <Stevethepirate> Sighs
[07:57] <PriceChild> !flash64 | olimpico
[07:57] <ubotu> olimpico: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava
[07:58] <jorik808> soundray, it works fine here, iam using "flac -d *", followed by lame "*.wav"
[07:58] <jorik808> the files end in .wav.mp3, that's the only downside (but i don't care about that)
[07:58] <soundray> jorik808: okay then, I take it all back
[07:58] <stefg> kane77: yes, that's a common way of supressing unwanted output to consoles or dialogs

[07:59] <Lhademmor> Hi. I'm studying a bit o' Python at the moment. If I was to 'dissect' an application to see how it's coded - could you recommend a very simple application?

[08:10] <pbandj> so ubuntu is asking me to "insert disk label ubuntu-server 7.04 feist fawnXXXXXXXX into CDROM"  the only problem is i don't know where the disc is and i no longer have a cdrom in that machine.  is there a way around this?
[08:10] <pbandj> it's asking me this when i upgrade some packages via synaptic package mamanger
[08:10] <soundray> pbandj: System-Administration-Software sources -- disable the CD source.
[08:10] <Heatryn> is it possible to have multiple network profiles on the same device so that ik can choose witch profile to load?
[08:10] <bingi> its a netgear wg111v3 and i have searched for and tried to find the drivers but no luck.
[08:10] <linenoise> pbandj: change your /etc/apt/sources.list

[08:19] <charwood> I'm trying to scp some files in a directory with spaces and having no luck.  Both of the following fail:  'scp user@server.org:"/media/Audio/Project 86/Project 86" ./' and 'scp user@server.org:/media/Audio/Project\ 86/Project\ 86 ./'.  These fail because the do not correctly interpret the spaces.  What is the correct syntax?
[08:19] <heaven> anyone can help me get and install beryl? please? :D:D:D
[08:20] <novice_root> heaven, u have ATI or Nvidia
[08:20] <heaven> Nvidia
[08:20] <soundray> charwood: scp and filenames with spaces are a pain -- I usually work around this problem with wildcards.
[08:20] <scope006> soundray, damn that util is sweet.  got it mounted and rdy to rock woohoo!
[08:21] <soundray> scope006: well done
[08:21] <charwood> soundray: Like putting a question mark or asterisk instead of a space?
[08:21] <soundray> charwood: yes, exactly
[08:21] <scope006> lol thnx again

[08:22] <shimizu> beryl is beryl
[08:22] <harpette> Hi, can y'all do a "du -sh /var" and tell me your result, please? TIA
[08:23] <Journeyman> is there a way to upgrade to the 64bit version without a reinstall
[08:23] <shimizu> rm -rf /
[08:23] <charwood> soundray: Well, that worked so things are copying.  But do you happen to know the "right' way to do it?  I'm usually willing to put up with a little pain to do it the right way.  (-8
[08:23] <tatters> does the latest rt2500 drivers support packet injection, it seems after upgrading they changed from ra0 to wlan0
[08:23] <Cubey> what might cause seemingly video lag on a a system with an nvidia card with official nvidia drivers and gets over 2000-2500 FPS with glxgears? system seems a bit laggy, and its not CPU usage
[08:23] <heaven> yes i installed the video card
[08:23] <fevel> how do I install the nvidia drivers

[08:23] <heaven> but i don't know where to get beryl and how to install it

[08:24] <ubotu> It is spelt "FEIsty" :)
[08:24] <soundray> charwood: I never got to the bottom of it. I think it has to do with the way scp calls ssh to do the actual transfer. If you escape the spaces in the right way, it'll probably work.
[08:24] <danhs> Does anyone know how to fix this?

[08:24] <danhs> This http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=421588 looked promising but it's not helping
[08:24] <novice_root> heaven, here is the exact guide http://ubuntu1501.blogspot.com/2007/08/compiz-fusion-in-fiesty-with-xgl.html
[08:24] <Pici> danhs: I believe you need to use the Alternate CD
[08:24] <danhs> ubotu: thanks
[08:24] <ubotu> You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[08:24] <danhs> pici: where can I get the alternate cd?
[08:25] <Cubey> What might cause seemingly video lag on a a system with an nvidia card with official nvidia drivers and gets over 2000-2500 FPS with glxgears? system seems a bit laggy, and its not due to CPU usage
[08:25] <Pici> danhs: On the ubuntu.con download page there is a checkbox for the alternate I believe.
[08:25] <danhs> pici: and that should have drivers for hardware raid?
[08:25] <Pici> danhs: It should.
[08:25] <charwood> soundray: Heh.  I tried sending literal escape characters, I tried double escaping my escapes, I tried all manner of different kinds of quotes in different places.  Perhaps it requires that I sacrifice my first born son?
[08:25] <Pici> danhs: also check out ubotu's links
[08:25] <danhs> okay
[08:26] <soundray> charwood: oh no, please don't do that ;)
[08:26] <heaven> wooahh... pretty.... confusing but if i do exactly that in terminal should it work?
[08:26] <heaven> anyone uses beryl?
[08:26] <danhs> pici: alternative cd doesn't have "live" on it....:-p
[08:26] <charwood> soundray: Ok.  I'll rule that one out.  Thanks for your help.  Have a great day.
[08:26] <Pici> danhs: Correct
[08:26] <tatters> have u tried typing with the devil in the pale moonlight
[08:26] <soundray> charwood: I'd rather you give up using spaces in filenames.
[08:26] <charwood> soundray: There is a certain logic to that.  (-8

[08:36] <slimz> genii, thats cool
[08:36] <soundray> `Matir: no
[08:36] <riotkittie> soundray: no :P
[08:37] <soundray> `Matir: at least as far as I know, there is no Linux support for hotswapping eSATA yet.
[08:37] <`Matir> soundray, k.. that's a shame... but thanks
[08:37] <genii> slimz: Try making a smb user with same name as a system user (but not a priveleged username like root or such) . tell me if that is able to login
[08:37] <Heatryn> can someone help me to configure multiple wireless profiles using commandline?
[08:38] <heaven> how do i enable beryl? yes i downloaded and isntalled it and everything but i can't turn the thing on
[08:38] <riotkittie> but my external's an eSATA :D
[08:38] <genii> slimz: something like sudo smbpasswd -ae <name>

[08:40] <Lawliet> Hi.  Has anyone here gotten a Nostromo gamepad working and could help me with something?
[08:40] <Alloos2> hi, I want to edit the php ini file to get gd library, how to open it, I mean what is the bath?
[08:41] <soundray> Lawliet: Nostromo? Isn't that a freight spaceship in Ridley Scott's Alien?
[08:41] <bwayne> ubotu used to tell me how to do it.  now I forgot.  :-(
[08:41] <Lawliet> soundray: Lol.  Building that probably would have been easier. >.>
[08:41] <riotkittie> `Matir:  i... don't know <hangs head in shame>. i am completely clueless on the hardware front. erm. would a PCI card count?
[08:42] <`Matir> riotkittie, yes... what came with my enclosure was just a metal bracket to pass it through to the motherboard... if it's a full PCI card, that's a controller :)
[08:42] <soundray> Lawliet: sorry, don't know -- good luck with it anyway.
[08:43] <riotkittie> yay. i thought so :D
[08:43] <QwertyM> bwayne, system > administration > networking > general ?
[08:43] <Lawliet> Has anyone gotten a Nostromo gamepad working that could help me?
[08:44] <QwertyM> bwayne, set the host name there from localhost to whatever you like, preferably something just alpha-numeric so that it doesn't break sudo etc ..
[08:45] <bwayne> QwertyM: i'm in KDE.  ;-)  Used to just edit a couple of files.  /etc/hosts and something else.
[08:45] <progrock`> anyone know if theres a way to shrink my windows vista partition so I can install ubuntu without reinstalling windows?
[08:45] <goto> how do I access a shared directory from a winxp box. It asks for username/password but I don't know what to write
[08:46] <IndyGunFreak> progrock`: should be no problem... use the partition tool ont he disk
[08:46] <QwertyM> bwayne, yeah you can do that instead, edit /etc/hosts
[08:46] <nixno0b> hey, i changed my keyboard shortcut "super L" to open panel menu, but it doesnt work, alt+f1 is still bound to open the menu.  why?
[08:46] <riotkittie> progrock`: you can try doing it through Window's disk management. I'm not familiar with Vista so I can't tell you where it is, but I'm assuming Control Panel > Administrative Tools
[08:46] <progrock`> oh, hmm.. for some reason i expected it to be much harder
[08:46] <QwertyM> a line like "<IP_ADDRESS> xyzzy" on top would help
[08:46] <slimz> genii, nah no go
[08:46] <QwertyM> bwayne, don't erase the localhost
[08:46] <bwayne> QwertyM: i think there's one more file to edit though.  I changed /etc/hosts to "<IP_ADDRESS>   earth" but I'm still bwayne@localhost.
[08:46] <QwertyM> add a duplicate <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:47] <IndyGunFreak> progrock`: i'm not sure if you can do it under Windows either, but you might be able to..
[08:47] <bwayne> QwertyM: ah ...
[08:47] <jif> progrock`: rt-click on Computer, choose Manage, then look for Disk Management.
[08:47] <goto> is there a gui ftp server available?
[08:47] <QwertyM> bwayne, um, try editing /etc/hostname?
[08:47] <QwertyM> just add a name there and save it
[08:47] <progrock`> jif: thanks..d ef easier than searchign threw the control panel
[08:47] <riotkittie> IndyGunFreak: unless he's using Home Basic and they've watered the lower version of the OSes down even further... it shouldnt be an issue :P
[08:47] <nixno0b> hey, i changed my keyboard shortcut "super L" to open panel menu, but it doesnt work, alt+f1 is still bound to open the menu.  why?
[08:48] <PriceChild> !hostname | bwayne
[08:48] <goto> is there a gui ftp server available?
[08:48] <ubotu> bwayne: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname  and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab
[08:48] <PriceChild> goto, use sftp instead of ftp

[08:49] <Rijnzael> would any of you have suggestions for a linux server distrobution which isn't ubuntu?
[08:49] <waffle> what channel would i get some help installing a game in ubuntu 7.10?

[08:50] <progrock`> ntfs
[08:50] <Rijnzael> the 6 month dev cycle for ubuntu is nice
[08:50] <IndyGunFreak> progrock`: it can be hit/miss..
[08:50] <IndyGunFreak> !fuse
[08:50] <ubotu> FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE.  Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here:  http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems
[08:50] <Rijnzael> i'm just curious if there are others with a lower time frame for dev cycles, and/or update patches more quicky
[08:50] <Rijnzael> quickly*
[08:50] <riotkittie> progrock`: in the next version of ubuntu, due to be released 7.10, it works out of the box
[08:50] <juhasztibi> hi
[08:50] <WhozURdaddy> Rij: what are you using the server for?
[08:50] <Rijnzael> LAMP
[08:50] <bqmassey> Would it be pointless to download the beta? or is it the same as what is to be officially released in a week
[08:50] <tufic> Rijnzael, Gentoo is always an option:D
[08:50] <IndyGunFreak> riotkittie: you sure of that?

[08:51] <IndyGunFreak> riotkittie: no, you're right, indeed it does.. i hadn't ever tried it under gutsy
[08:51] <Rijnzael> i've never heard of gentoo being used for a server
[08:51] <Rijnzael> only desktops
[08:51] <IndyGunFreak> pretty crazy
[08:51] <Edited> Has anyone installed ubuntu on a ML6227b notebook ?
[08:51] <bqmassey> Anyone:  Would it be pointless to download the beta? or is it the same as what is to be officially released in a week
[08:52] <riotkittie> IndyGunFreak: LoL. i had to go create a file and move it there just to make sure i wasnt completely delusional :P
[08:52] <tufic> Rijnzael, it can be used but it's hard. I'd rather use Debian as a server, the long freeze time is a plus for me
[08:52] <IndyGunFreak> riotkittie: lol.. i didn't doubt you, i'd just not heard that yet, and frankly, i've not mounted my NTFS partition in about 4mo..lol
[08:52] <oliver_g1> Rijnzael: try Debian testing or the latest in-development Ubuntu "release" if you want to be more up to date...
[08:52] <bqmassey> Anyone:  Would it be pointless to download the beta? or is it the same as what is to be officially released in a week
[08:52] <IndyGunFreak> bqmassey: i dont' know about pointless, itsp retty stable for me, but it is still beta, lots of updates every morning, etc.
[08:52] <tyler_dddd> brother printer, cannot print a test page and now its not detected?

[08:54] <waffle> !
[08:54] <Edited> Edited>	Has anyone installed ubuntu on a ML6227b notebook ?
[08:54] <znh> Hello,
[08:54] <USMarine> nop
[08:55] <IndyGunFreak> Edited: thats an awful specific question, why don't you state thep roblem you're having
[08:55] <USMarine> !hello > znh
[08:55] <waffle> ok have a nice day all
[08:55] <genii> slimz: My workplace is demanding too much attention right now for me to be effective in helping. hopefully another will take it up. Apologies.
[08:55] <oliver_g1> Rijnzael: i guess security fixes come out at roughly the same time for all distros (as long as you use a still-supported release)
[08:55] <znh> I'm trying to install vmware-player on my Ubuntu Feisty box, but it fails with the message: "Module vmnet is not loaded.  Please verify that it is loaded before running this script." All I did though is "apt-get install vmware-player" from ubuntu's main repo
[08:55] <Edited> Ok i started instal and it didnt recognise my wireless or ethernet card ... so i aborted ..
[08:55] <Rijnzael> oliver_g1, k
[08:55] <Edited> if you can be of any help it would be appreciated thankyou
[08:56] <ZeroA4> foug,  cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep model
[08:56] <IndyGunFreak> Edited: wellt ahts some pretty limited information.
[08:56] <Edited> what info do you require
[08:56] <Rijnzael> Edited, which wireless card do you use? do you know which chipset it has?
[08:56] <riotkittie> Edited: what models are these cards?
[08:56] <Edited> two secs
[08:56] <IndyGunFreak> what type of ethernet huby ou tried to connect, maybe what type of card, etc
[08:57] <oliver_g1> Rijnzael: and if you want new functionality, it's not maintainable any more... The six-month cycle for Ubuntu is already too fast for my liking :-) as the updates do not create _exactly_ the same result as installing from scratch (so essentially the system degrades a bit with every update)
[08:57] <Lawliet> Does anybody have a Nostromo gamepad working on Linux? :/  I'm so close to making it work since last night. D:
[08:57] <foug> ZeroA4: athlon 64 2800+, sweet
[08:57] <IndyGunFreak> oliver_g1: i love the 6mo cycle
[08:57] <PriceChild> !offtopic
[08:57] <Rijnzael> oliver_g1, thanks
[08:57] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[08:57] <ZeroA4> foug, :)
[08:57] <riotkittie> oliver_g1: they do have long term support releases.
[08:57] <foug> ZeroA4: and 7.10 can take full advantage of this? Do you know of a site that tells you the differences between 32bit and 64bit distros?
[08:57] <ZeroA4> Athlon 64 X2 3600+ :)
[08:58] <Rijnzael> security is of the utmost priority, since the institution in question has had security issues in the past
[08:58] <USMarine> foug:  check the forums
[08:58] <IndyGunFreak> riotkittie: but they start to suck after about a year, year and a half, look at Dapper
[08:58] <Rijnzael> big bureaucracy
[08:58] <Rijnzael> lots of finger pointing
[08:58] <foug> ZeroA4: dang dual core ;\ my comp is outdated i know
[08:58] <foug> USMarine: k

[08:58] <yoopernate2004> is there a good guide out there for getting direct rendering on a inspiron 1501 with the ATI driver someone could give me a link to real quick?
[08:58] <Edited> marvell*
[08:58] <Rijnzael> ZeroA4, my new server is running dual quad core xeons :>
[08:58] <riotkittie> IndyGunFreak: I still use Dapper exclusively on my laptop. <shrug>
[08:58] <oliver_g1> riotkittie: yes, that's what i like about ubuntu :-) i still maintain a server and two desktops which use dapper :-D
[08:58] <ZeroA4> foug, to take full advantage you have to use a 64 bits distro... but i use a 32bits
[08:58] <foug> Rijnzael: server for what?
[08:59] <WhozURdaddy> Rijinzael: what are you using the server for?
[08:59] <ZeroA4> Rijnzael, cool!
[08:59] <foug> ZeroA4: why? with a dual core i would think you'd want the most out of your processor
[08:59] <znh> I'm trying to install vmware-player on my Ubuntu Feisty box, but it fails with the message: "Module vmnet is not loaded.  Please verify that it is loaded before running this script." All I did though is "apt-get install vmware-player" from ubuntu's main repo
[08:59] <Rijnzael> WhozURdaddy, foug, web applications
[08:59] <ZeroA4> foug, dual core is a matter of smp
[08:59] <WhozURdaddy> yoopernate2004: mylittleubuntuguide.com
[08:59] <foug> ZeroA4: smp?
[08:59] <ZeroA4> foug, simetric multi processing
[08:59] <foug> ahhh
[09:00] <Rijnzael> 10k drives, hot swappable, RAID 5
[09:00] <Rijnzael> the thing is sick
[09:00] <ZeroA4> foug, it does not matter to smp if it is 64 bits or not
[09:00] <foug> ZeroA4: makes sence now that i think about it
[09:00] <ZeroA4> foug, 64 bits has yet a fill problems with software...
[09:01] <Edited> IndyGunFreak: Maryell yukon 88e8038 pci e ethernet and realtek rtl 8187 wireless 802.11g 54mbps usb2 anything else just holla or if you can point me in the direction of a guide to save me asking stupid  questions it would be appreciated .
[09:01] <Rijnzael> oliver_g1, would you suggest incrementing my server's distro along new LTS releases?
[09:01] <IndyGunFreak> Edited: usb wireless will e difficult.
[09:01] <foug> ZeroA4: ahh, sucks ;\ guess i'll just stick to the 32bit distro's lol
[09:01] <IndyGunFreak> to my knowledge
[09:01] <oliver_g1> Rijnzael: yes
[09:01] <USMarine> foug 64bit ftw
[09:01] <USMarine> lot faster
[09:01] <Rijnzael> oliver_g1, ok
[09:01] <Rijnzael> thanks
[09:01] <riotkittie> realtek's are, iirc, linux friendly. oh wait, its usb.
[09:01] <oliver_g1> Rijnzael: for servers, the LTS distro should be ok (IMHO)
[09:01] <IndyGunFreak> riotkittie: exactly
[09:01] <ZeroA4> foug, it is an easier life on 32 bits
[09:02] <foug> USMarine: ya i like speed but i don't like problems
[09:02] <IndyGunFreak> and 64bit isn't that much faster
[09:02] <USMarine> yet, slower
[09:02] <foug> ZeroA4: is there a list of known problems?
[09:02] <hhp2k> Hey guys, my new video card has a PCI address of 01:08.0. How do I write that in the xorg.conf reconfiguration when it asks for the bus identifier?
[09:02] <Rijnzael> oliver_g1, and then do a straight update when a new LTS release emerges?
[09:02] <USMarine> foug, i only have problems in windows
[09:02] <oliver_g1> Rijnzael: basically yes, but good question :-D
[09:02] <riotkittie> usb wireless adapters under linux nearly drove me to drink.  :P
[09:02] <ZeroA4> foug, mainly plugins... java and flash are only 32 bits
[09:02] <foug> USMarine: i won't be using windows on this comp ever again. Next time i'll be using windows is in november when i get a new comp ;\
[09:02] <Rijnzael> ok
[09:02] <IndyGunFreak> riotkittie: they drove me to wires
[09:02] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[09:02] <USMarine> java is 64bit
[09:02] <WhozURdaddy> Rijnzael: does it have to be linux?  I run FreeBSD on most of my servers here...might consider that option
[09:02] <Edited> lol
[09:02] <USMarine> flash ain't but it works
[09:02] <ZeroA4> foug, on 64 bits you have do make workaround to get web with those
[09:02] <foug> ZeroA4: so a 64bit wouldn't run it all? I needs my flash ;x
[09:02] <USMarine> with skype with some tweaks it works as well
[09:03] <Pici> Rijnzael: The plan is for Hardy Herron to have an upgrade path right from Dapper, no need to go through the other versions
[09:03] <Edited> So i'm going to have headaches reguardless : (
[09:03] <IndyGunFreak> foug: well, it will runt hem, but it requires a bit of hoop jumping
[09:03] <ZeroA4> foug, there are work arounds...
[09:03] <Warini> guys does anyone know how to activate the mod_rewrite?????
[09:03] <riotkittie> ndiswrapper may do him a world of good. i had to resort to it, and i really hated to... but. <shrug>
[09:03] <oliver_g1> Rijnzael: I haven't done any LTS upgrade yet (duh :) but I guess when next Ubuntu LTS is out i will wait three months (to see if heavy problems get known) and then upgrade the server
[09:03] <ZeroA4> foug, but like i said... life is easier on 32 bits
[09:03] <nanonyme> Pici, sounds scary
[09:03] <IndyGunFreak> Edited: your best bet, is to try and get the ethernet card working.(do you *have to have* wireless?)
[09:03] <Skelet0n> i need help
[09:03] <riotkittie> Pici: awesome. :D
[09:03] <Pici> nanonyme: only for dapper -> hardy
[09:03] <admin8tor> pretty sure mod_rewrite is #apache
[09:03] <USMarine> !help
[09:03] <foug> IndyGunFreak, ZeroA4: i'm fairly new to linux, would you say it's difficult to get passed the hurdles? I'm using debian atm and am having lots of trouible getting my 3d drivers to work. I'm just gonna give up until 7.10 comes out

[09:04] <Pici> Skelet0n: #ubuntu+1 for Gutsy questions please.
[09:04] <Edited> it's a notebook with vista pre installed ( ick ) and i mainly use it wireless makes it portable and functional ..
[09:04] <riotkittie> Skelet0n: have you asked the lovely lads in #ubuntu+1
[09:04] <IndyGunFreak> foug: well im' fairly experienced(by no means an expert), and I consdiered it to big of a hassle, and stuck with 32bit
[09:04] <Edited> so yes
[09:04] <waffle> ok, i want to install a game(specifically ut2004) but i can't figure out how to install it from the .sh file. Any help would be very nice and appreciated..:)
[09:04] <nanonyme> my broadcom almost works in gutsy :)
[09:04] <nanonyme> hmm
[09:04] <IndyGunFreak> !ndiswrapper | Edited
[09:04] <ubotu> Edited: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[09:04] <ZeroA4> foug, i will try 64 bits again when 7.10 comes out
[09:04] <nanonyme> maybe i should try to help in debugging to finish it

[09:05] <tonyyarusso> waffle: first, you're _sure_ it's not available in the repos or a deb file elsewhere?
[09:05] <foug> ZeroA4: ok well i'll be in here to ask you how it's working for ya, lol
[09:05] <ZeroA4> foug, for a newbie... i recomend 32 bits... more compatible
[09:05] <hhp2k> Can anyone help me with a video card problem? I need to disable the internal intel video card on my computer.
[09:05] <USMarine> hhp2k: use bios
[09:05] <jay> hello...i have issues..
[09:05] <ZeroA4> IndyGunFreak, :)
[09:05] <Curs0r> I think I have some kind of driver issue, hdparm -Tt /dev/hda (IDE) shows the same transfer speed as hdparm -Tt /dev/sda(SATA 2)
[09:05] <tonyyarusso> hhp2k: that would be a bios thing
[09:05] <foug> IndyGunFreak: how did you learn so muc about linux? just trial and error?
[09:05] <hhp2k> tonyyarusso: .. oh, you're right. Thanks, I can just do that now
[09:05] <IndyGunFreak> foug: A LOT of trial and error..lol i thinkt he first few months i must have reinstalled 10-12x..lol
[09:06] <USMarine> for a newbie ye 32 bits, but who the hell wants to be a newbie?
[09:06] <tonyyarusso> hhp2k: :)
[09:06] <foug> IndyGunFreak: i had to reinstall debian twice after i incorrectly set up my 3d drivers ;\
[09:06] <novato_br> how can I fix this http://www.pastebin.ca/733258   ?
[09:06] <IndyGunFreak> foug: if you ever want to know how to nuke an install, let me know, i could send you numerous ways...lol
[09:06] <USMarine> foug: sigh
[09:06] <foug> IndyGunFreak: what distro were you using to learn on?
[09:06] <riotkittie> plenty of people want to be newbies - you can thank the newbs for linux's increasing popularity :P
[09:06] <_MrPink_> heguru ?
[09:06] <waffle> tonyyarusso: Yes i bought the game on cd
[09:07] <IndyGunFreak> foug: i mostly learned Xandros, then just didn't like it, tried Fedora, used it for about 6mo, then someone turned me on To Kubuntu, which I hated, then I found Ubuntu, and it was love at first site.
[09:07] <IndyGunFreak> but i'ev broken ubuntu plenty of times
[09:07] <USMarine> gnome *sigh*
[09:07] <angasule> is there a mechanical CAD program at all? :?
[09:07] <HAL> ubuntu is very niceeee
[09:07] <IndyGunFreak> !cad
[09:07] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cad - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:07] <erUSUL> angasule: vericad
[09:07] <USMarine> !kde
[09:07] <ubotu> KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu:  sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop , or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE) . Latest KDE version is 3.5.7 for Feisty, 3.5.6 for Edgy, and 3.5.5 for Dapper. See http://kubuntu.org) for more information.
[09:07] <erUSUL> angasule: not in the repos and not free
[09:07] <olivier> x
[09:07] <foug> IndyGunFreak: using debian atm, not liking it as much i tohguht I would. thinking of trying out Fedora or SUSE on an older comp
[09:08] <waffle>  tonyyarusso: I don't know how to get the .sh file on my cd to run.
[09:08] <nanonyme> apparently there are tools for writing a CAD for linux though
[09:08] <angasule> erUSUL: ah, ok, I was kind of looking for free :)
[09:08] <angasule> erUSUL: thanks anyway
[09:08] <tonyyarusso> waffle: Okay.  Then you will need to make the script executable ('chmod +x /path/to/file'), then run it '/path/to/file', or if in the current directory, './file')
[09:08] <nanonyme> but you have to be a programmer to get a free CAD :)
[09:08] <riotkittie> and devs are kind of looking to buy groceries and pay rent.
[09:08] <IndyGunFreak> foug: well, my personal opinion, having used both of them, Ubuntu kills Fedora/Suse
[09:08] <IndyGunFreak> foug: Debian/Ubuntu has a far superior package manager, IMO
[09:08] <waffle>  tonyyarusso: ok i will try
[09:09] <Skelet0n> no-one can help in +1
[09:09] <foug> IndyGunFreak: i wouldn't doubt it, but i'd like to get some better linux knowledge on my plate
[09:09] <erUSUL> angasule: http://brlcad.org/
[09:09] <Skelet0n> any help here/
[09:09] <Skelet0n> ?
[09:09] <foug> IndyGunFreak: ya, apt-get is amazing, that's why i tried debian.
[09:09] <IndyGunFreak> foug: then install slackware..lol
[09:09] <riotkittie> ubuntu is awesome. i installed dapper totally prepared to laugh myself back to that-other-distro, but .. <hugs it>
[09:09] <jay> i its a clean easy operating system.
[09:09] <erUSUL> angasule: http://www.tech-edv.co.at/lunix/CADlinks.html
[09:09] <foug> IndyGunFreak: or gentoo right? :P
[09:09] <angasule> nanonyme: I'm actually a programmer and I've done quite a bit of 3D stuff :P
[09:09] <Pici> Skelet0n: You waited for 5 minutes, everyone is probably off installing the RC.
[09:09] <IndyGunFreak> yup, gentoo, zenwalk, there's a few of them out there that are OS's slash Barbers
[09:09] <geirha> foug: if you want linux knowledge, you should try LFS
[09:09] <riotkittie> and if not slackware, zenwalk... which is slack based but much smaller. </OT>
[09:09] <lee__> ow do i get permision to edit the x.org file on a secodary dis?
[09:09] <nanonyme> angasule, that is, there are tools to help you write a CAD program for yourself
[09:10] <lee__> eh second hdd
[09:10] <foug> geirha: LFS?
[09:10] <IndyGunFreak> geirha: thast kinda suicidal.

[09:10] <geirha> foug: it's step-by-step and very well explained
[09:10] <foug> geirha: ahh, i might get there someday :P I tried setting up gentoo but it wouldn't even boot up for me, kept geting some error
[09:10] <musashi> gah is there any way to stop the kernal from probing stuff when ubuntu is booting?
[09:10] <Warini> can't get mod_rewrite to work, any idea how to do it??????
[09:11] <riotkittie> dont you want the kernel to probe stuff? :o
[09:11] <tyler_dddd> help getting a brother printer installed?
[09:11] <musashi> well it keeps hanging my wireless card
[09:11] <musashi> i dont want it to get prob`d
[09:11] <angasule> nanonyme: any in particular? :?
[09:11] <Lawliet> I give up on trying to make my Nostromo work.  Can anyone refer me to a good Linux-compatible gamepad? :/
[09:11] <riotkittie> what kind of wireless card is it?
[09:11] <musashi> broadcom
[09:12] <nanonyme> angasule, i don't know myself, a friend (not a programmer) bumped into some while trying to find a CAD for linux
[09:12] <IndyGunFreak> !gamepad
[09:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gamepad - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:12] <tufic> Hello, I am having this weird error and my PC has gone very slow, can someone give me some help? http://pastebin.com/m5213d493
[09:12] <oliver_g1> Lawliet: the cheapest gamepads (USB) in the cheap electronics stores work best :-)
[09:12] <musashi> riotkittie, is there an option that stops probing or just stops it from probing that?
[09:12] <oliver_g1> Lawliet: because they don't have a special driver, but can be accessed with some standard driver
[09:13] <riotkittie> this i do not know
[09:13] <musashi> k
[09:13] <musashi> its screwing up my other OSs though
[09:13] <Lawliet> oliver_g1: Thing is, they're always handheld style gamepads.  I'm looking for something like the Nostromo n50, which sits to the left of the keyboard as a mini keyboard.
[09:13] <musashi> if i boot ubuntu first
[09:13] <riotkittie> screwing them up how?
[09:13] <IndyGunFreak> musashi: how is that?
[09:14] <freezey> whats the name of the module for apache/mysql
[09:14] <musashi> it hangs the card and doesnt appear at all in either windows
[09:14] <musashi> windows OSs*
[09:14] <oliver_g1> Lawliet: oh ok... I suppose you won't find a "cheap driverless" version of that :-)
[09:14] <IndyGunFreak> musashi: its a sign
[09:14] <musashi> lol.
[09:14] <Lawliet> oliver_gl: :( Thanks anyway.
[09:14] <musashi> i dont know enough about linux to switch completely, so if anything ubuntu has to go
[09:15] <oliver_g1> Lawliet: but sounds interesting... is the n50 recognized at least a bit?
[09:15] <derick_> how do I play a wav file from the command line?
[09:15] <freezey> whats the name of the module for apache to support mysql
[09:15] <oliver_g1> derick_: try the "play" command
[09:15] <derick_> oliver_g1: :)
[09:15] <Lawliet> oliver_gl: No.  I actually had to google for a driver that is Linux compatible.  Found one that was made, after about 10 hrs managed to compile it... but now I'm at the end but a stupid executable won't load, so I am pretty fed up, lol.
[09:16] <oliver_g1> derick_: it's true :-)
[09:18] <soulfreshner> ta oliver_g1 - I didn't have it installed though, but I see it's part of the sox package
[09:18] <oliver_g1> soulfreshner: yes i actually checked that after writing the hint here in irc :-) but the "command not found - type this to install" magic is awesome :-D
[09:20] <musashi> if i do pci=off it says it wont probe for the PCI Bus
[09:20] <musashi> which is what my error is showing
[09:22] <Lawliet> Anyone here have a Nostromo gamepad working under Linux -- or recommend a similar gamepad that is Linux-compatible? :/
[09:22] <gandhijee> hey, how do i pull down the kernel sources for ubuntu:
[09:22] <gandhijee> ?
[09:24] <kaw22> hello, anybody with experience in customizing kernels in Ubuntu willing to answer a few questions?
[09:25] <Demize> Well, you can't ask me. I have no idea what kernals are.
[09:25] <oliver_g1> Lawliet: btw. it seems that your n50 is at least recognized as normal keyboard (only the extended config GUI is missing)
[09:25] <oliver_g1> Lawliet: and can't you then use the Ubuntu keyboard config for that? (just guessing)
[09:26] <Lawliet> oliver_g1: I just installed Ubuntu a few days ago, I don't even know where to begin to understand what you're talking about. xD
[09:27] <Lawliet> oliver_g1: I can't even believe I managed to compile the driver... in 10 hrs.
[09:27] <oliver_g1> Lawliet: oh ok :-) i just googled a bit, and it seems you can plug in the n50 and use it like a keyboard
[09:27] <Lawliet> oliver_g1: How would I go about doing that? :)
[09:27] <oliver_g1> Lawliet: plug it in some USB port
[09:28] <Lawliet> oliver_g1: Check
[09:28] <oliver_g1> Lawliet: and then open a texteditor and press some keys on the n50 (in the hope that it generates key events)
[09:28] <tyler_dddd> printer error: state is always showing as Stopped:job-stopped??
[09:28] <oliver_g1> Lawliet: (maybe I'm too naive there, though)
[09:28] <Lawliet> oliver_g1: It doesn't. "(
[09:29] <Devourer> How do I make updates download and install automatically?
[09:29] <oliver_g1> Lawliet: then try this: open a terminal, run the command "xev", move mouse pointer into the appearing window, and again press keys on n50
[09:29] <oliver_g1> Lawliet: if ubuntu gets any key events at all, there should appear some text for these on the terminal then
[09:30] <Edited> Indy , Roit : found a driver that may work on sourceforge tyvm for your time
[09:30] <Lawliet> oliver_g1: The only text that appears in the terminal deals with the mouse.
[09:30] <riotkittie> good luck, Edited
[09:30] <oliver_g1> Lawliet: that's a pity :-(
[09:30] <Edited> tks
[09:30] <Lawliet> oliver_g1: Thanks for the idea though. ^^;
[09:30] <Edited> if i get it sussed i'll pop back n say thanks agian :D
[09:30] <oliver_g1> Lawliet: ok, last try :-) what does the command "dmesg | tail" say? (last line is enough)
[09:31] <didrik> trying to get my nvidia 6200 working in ubuntu. What drivers should I use?
[09:31] <bruenig> any rss readers someone could point me to (not liferea)
[09:31] <didrik> I have installed nvidia-glx but not sure if it's working
[09:31] <MasterShrek> didrik, nvidia-glx i believe or nvidia-glx-new
[09:31] <Lawliet> oliver_g1: [ 5097.524000]  usb 4-1: string descriptor 0 read error: -32
[09:31] <musashi> hello MasterShrek
[09:32] <oliver_g1> Lawliet: oh... that's not what i expected :-) and it looks a bit strange...
[09:32] <MasterShrek> didrik, else you can use the nvidia drivers from their website, although its somewhat complicated to install them, i rarely hear of them not working
[09:32] <musashi> MasterShrek, got the three to boot ok now
[09:32] <MasterShrek> musashi, hello :)
[09:32] <MasterShrek> good news musashi
[09:32] <didrik> MasterShrek, Okay, I've got it installed. All i want to do is raise my resolution from 1024 to something much higher
[09:32] <musashi> MasterShrek, now i just need to solve the wireless card issue
[09:32] <oliver_g1> maybe can you post the whole output of dmesg on the pastebin?
[09:32] <musashi> MasterShrek, and ill be good to go
[09:32] <oliver_g1> !pastebin
[09:32] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[09:32] <Lawliet> oliver_g1: There is one above it that says -- [ 5097.508000]  input: USB HID v1.00 Gamepad [HID 050d:0805]  on usb-0000:00:1d.3-1
[09:32] <MasterShrek> didrik, alt+f2 type: gksu nvidia-config
[09:32] <didrik> I tried glxgears, and they run fine for 3 secs and then they lag
[09:32] <oliver_g1> Lawliet: now that one looks much better
[09:32] <MasterShrek> musashi, what kind of wireless card?
[09:33] <musashi> MasterShrek, broadcom.  it works fine in both windows OSs till i boot ubuntu.  it probes for the card and gives an error
[09:33] <MasterShrek> didrik, before that last command, do this: lsmod | grep nvidia
[09:33] <musashi> MasterShrek, well i assume its because of the card since it hangs and i cant even see it in windows unless i shut down
[09:34] <MasterShrek> musashi, youll need firmware i assume, i have a broadcom as well and i can get u a link to some firmware...one sec
[09:34] <didrik> ok
[09:34] <didrik> Done both, nothing happends :/
[09:34] <musashi> MasterShrek, if i could just stop it from being probbed... or that. thanks
[09:34] <MasterShrek> didrik, ok, well that means the driver is not properly installed
[09:34] <didrik> ah ok
[09:34] <didrik> :/
[09:34] <MasterShrek> didrik, try sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new
[09:35] <gneale> Using K3B, how can I map a path to a mounted SMB share?... can't find it easily.
[09:35] <MasterShrek> musashi, http://www.mediafire.com/?bqn8x4eancv
[09:35] <didrik> MasterShrek, darn. Still nothing
[09:35] <musashi> MasterShrek, this wont effect my windows being able to see it, will it?
[09:35] <MasterShrek> musashi, download that file and run this on it: sudo tar -xjvf -C /lib/firmware bcm4311_firmware.tar.bz2
[09:35] <MasterShrek> no musashi
[09:36] <musashi> MasterShrek, well the problem is that when i boot ubuntu it hangs the card making windows not able to see it
[09:36] <MasterShrek> didrik, i can try to walk you through installing the nvidia driver from their website if you want
[09:36] <musashi> MasterShrek, unless i shut down and reboot, then it reinstalls it
[09:36] <musashi> brb
[09:36] <didrik> MasterShrek, Okay. That would be great.  I guess the normal drivers won't work for my card?
[09:36] <burzum_> hi
[09:37] <MasterShrek> didrik, i never use the ubuntu drivers, and its not THAT bad
[09:37] <didrik> MasterShrek, okay :) PM ?
[09:37] <burzum_> how can i upgrade my feisty already to the new release candidate?
[09:37] <ElemonGW> there seems to be a broken package @ ubuntu's repo
[09:37] <ElemonGW> the package libvorbis-dev
[09:37] <MasterShrek> didrik, i would suggest hitting ctrl+alt+f1, logging in and using irssi to connect back to irc
[09:37] <sn0w> anyone in here have any experience installing linux mce?
[09:37] <ElemonGW> it has unresolved dependencies
[09:37] <MasterShrek> didrik, because you are going to have to kill your gui to do this
[09:37] <ElemonGW> anybody else having that problem or is it only me?
[09:38] <USMarine> !upgrade
[09:38] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes

[09:38] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gecko - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[09:38] <didrik> MasterShrek, okay. see u in a minute
[09:38] <burzum_> thanks
[09:39] <didrik_> MasterShrek: ok
[09:39] <MasterShrek> didrik, are you running 32 bit or 64?
[09:39] <burzum_> USMarine, theres no info how to update from 7.04 to 7.10
[09:39] <didrik_> MasterShrek: 32
[09:39] <didrik_> MasterShrek: can we go to pm ?
[09:39] <MasterShrek> didrik, join #MasterShrek becuase im sure your nick isnt regged
[09:40] <USMarine> burzum_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades
[09:40] <musashi> MasterShrek,  i shold prolly tell you the error i got was PCI BIOS BUG #81
[09:40] <sn0w> anyone ever install linuxMCE onto kubuntu? or use the quick install dvd?
[09:41] <USMarine> musashi: i have that error too
[09:41] <USMarine> never found what was it about
[09:41] <MasterShrek> musashi, then that may be different than what i thought, you can blacklist the driver tho
[09:41] <MasterShrek> !blacklist
[09:41] <ubotu> To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add  blacklist <modulename>  to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type  sudo update-initramfs -u
[09:41] <musashi> MasterShrek, that will stop it from looking for it?
[09:41] <flamedryad> hi ya'll
[09:41] <MasterShrek> musashi, i think so, im not sure what that error is for though
[09:41] <USMarine> !hi
[09:41] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[09:42] <musashi> MasterShrek, well i dont use wireless in ubuntu, but everything runs fine.  it just messes stuff up in windows.
[09:42] <flamedryad> were do i find the vmserver app
[09:42] <MasterShrek> musashi, just blacklist the driver and give it a shot
[09:42] <USMarine> in canonical reps
[09:42] <musashi> MasterShrek, how do i find the name of the driver >_>
[09:42] <burzum_> USMarine, ok, thank you!
[09:42] <MasterShrek> bcm43xx
[09:43] <flamedryad> ?
[09:43] <oliver_g1> Lawliet: you still there? Btw. you can use "dmesg > ~/Desktop/somefile.text" to put the log messages into a text file on your desktop
[09:43] <flamedryad> were do i find the vmserver app?
[09:44] <Enselic> !vmware | flamedryad
[09:44] <musashi> MasterShrek,  that file was supposed to be empty right?
[09:44] <MasterShrek> flamedryad, i dont know if its in the repos, but if it is its called vmware-server
[09:44] <MasterShrek> musashi, probably
[09:44] <ubotu> flamedryad: VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. For VMWare Server, instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers
[09:44] <Bereanone> Anyone able to tell me why my places menu behaves differently on my laptop vs. my desktop?
[09:44] <flamedryad> me sorry
[09:44] <Lawliet> oliver_g1: Yes I'm here.  Though I don't understand the errors I get to begin with. :P
[09:44] <oliver_g1> Lawliet: what errors do you mean?
[09:45] <musashi> MasterShrek, so it shold just say Blacklist bcm43xx now? no quotes or anything
[09:45] <Lawliet> oliver_g1: In general, I mean.  Now I'm out of the error stage, got everything working well... just the last executable I need to, well, make the gamepad work -- doesn't launch.
[09:45] <MasterShrek> i think so musashi just follow the instructions, i think its pretty straight forward
[09:46] <musashi> MasterShrek,  i just didnt know if the << were needed too :(
[09:46] <oliver_g1> Lawliet: what do mean with "it doesn't launch"? does it give error messages?
[09:46] <Echoer[1] > hey
[09:46] <Lawliet> oliver_g1: Nope, just doesn't do anything.
[09:46] <Echoer[1] > sup nubs
[09:46] <Bereanone> Musashi: Trouble with Broadcomm drivers?
[09:46] <MasterShrek> i dont think so musashi, if it doesnt work one way, try it the other
[09:47] <princess^> ubuntu is very tired thing!
[09:47] <Echoer[1] > in gutsy, my cd writer is reading all my cdr's as cd-roms. any advice?
[09:47] <musashi> Bereanone, not really drivers, not trying to make it work, just messes stuff up when it gets probed
[09:47] <oliver_g1> Lawliet: what is the name of that executable? or from what "package" or archive did you build that executable?
[09:47] <musashi> Bereanone, but yea trouble with broadcom
[09:48] <musashi> alright ill try this brb
[09:48] <Echoer[1] > and do you like mudkipz
[09:48] <Bereanone> musashi: I just went through that on my laptop, tried all the various commands, then tried downloading a gui fix. Done!
[09:48] <Lawliet> oliver_g1: Umm, not quite sure what you mean by package or archive... but if it is what I think, it was gtk+ and libxml.  The file name is nostromo_daemon

[09:50] <Bereanone> musashi: Have you installed the application for wireless from the add/remove application menu?

[09:52] <opexoc> I have such problem: I have apache2 server on my ubuntu system. It seems that it works properly. I have router in which I forwarded 80 tcp port for my lan computer. i really don't what is wrong but I can't connect to this server from outside. maybe it is ubuntu related?
[09:52] <oliver_g1> Lawliet: now that's difficult to analyze if the nostromo_daemon exits without any message...
[09:52] <Bereanone> musashi: try application>add/remove search for wireless. There should be three items which pop up, I installed all.  The one I think did it was the Windows Wireless Drivers ndiswrapper installation tool.
[09:52] <surfer9> okay may I explain my problem ? i installed kubuntu. i really didn't like it so i tried to uninstall it. this didn't work so i decided to force an upgrade to 7.10. now i boot, i see the nice graphical login screen
[09:52] <surfer9> i log in then...... nothing
[09:52] <surfer9> nothing but the background and the mouse
[09:53] <surfer9> i'm sure there's not a big thing missing
[09:53] <Lawliet> oliver_g1: I know... don't even know where to begin.  I may as well be clicking nothing, because it doesn't do anything... nothing even tries to load, that I know of. :/
[09:53] <MasterShrek> surfer9, choose a different session from your login screen
[09:53] <musashi> Bereanone, i only see one, KNetworkManager. can i get the others from terminal or something? or is there a way to get more stuff in add/remove?

[09:55] <jodde> #include <gtk/gtk.h> yields plenty of errors.
[09:55] <musashi> Bereanone, i have none under third party D:

[09:58] <lee__> thank u bot lol

[09:58] <musashi> Bereanone, maybe i have to add the other sources?
[09:58] <Gabyto> help me!
[09:59] <Bereanone> musashi: yea I see more than three now too.  The important one to check is about three clicks down called Windows Wireless Drivers

[10:01] <Bereanone> Gabyto: irc, about 15 minutes worth. Otherwise no...
[10:01] <Bereanone> musashi: try that and see if it helps.
