[02:09] <dhamma> could someone help me troubleshoot my headset issue?  i used alsamixer to turn on the mic and can hear myself on mic thru the headset, but i can't be heard on skype or if i record on audacity...what am i overlooking?
[02:09] <RemboSachs> yeah... :/
[02:09] <jrib> Nunzio: are you sure that is mplayer?  That isn't default
[02:09] <soundray> MjV: never change a running system. Check out the live CD or do a parallel install of feisty if you want to see what you're missing.
[02:09] <BHSPitMonkey> RemboSachs, I didn't realize you had already gotten it "booting".
[02:09] <bianconeri> MjV, if you like eyecandy i.e compiz, then ya...Fiesty also improved the wireless network menu
[02:09] <RemboSachs> is it my graphics card, BHSPitMonkey
[02:09] <igorsobreira> hey guys...i've just installed Ubuntu 7.04...and i have problems with wireless...it finds network..ok...i've installed wifi-radar...i guess it's any configuration...because it's looks like it's connect but i can't go to any webpage...anybody could help me?
[02:09] <RemboSachs> sorry i wasnt more specific, BHSPitMonkey
[02:09] <MjV> I have beryl running very very nicely on this machine, and no wireless here
[02:09] <Nunzio> Ah i right clicked and did about, and it says Totem Browser Plugin
[02:10] <matthew__> dhamma: ok, double click the sound settings on the top right
[02:10] <RemboSachs> anyways, the issue is that i can't get ubuntu to continue booting after i get the x server error, BHSPitMonkey
[02:10] <BHSPitMonkey> RemboSachs, know what kind of card it is? And, do you happen to have two cards?
[02:10] <matthew__> dhamma: make sure the mic is all way up, and then go to the switches tab
[02:10] <MjV> Totem was a pain for me to get going, I eventually just went to VLC
[02:10] <jrib> Nunzio: ok, then install the vlc plugin package (don't know the name offhand) and remove the "totem-mozilla" package
[02:10] <dhamma> matthew__, the sound settings where?
[02:10] <igorsobreira> hey guys...i've just installed Ubuntu 7.04...and i have problems with wireless...it finds network..ok...i've installed wifi-radar...i guess it's any configuration...because it's looks like it's connect but i can't go to any webpage...anybody could help me?
[02:10] <matthew__> dhamma: top right on by the date, time, etc.
[02:11] <RemboSachs> BHSPitMonkey, here's my specs: Intel Core Duo T2500 2.0GHz / 802.11a/b/g Wireless / Bluetooth / 15.4-Inch WSXGA+ / 1GB DDR2 / 80GB HDD
[02:11] <matthew__> dhamma: the little speaker icon
[02:11] <BHSPitMonkey> RemboSachs, "continue booting"?  Once you're starting X, you've pretty much booted as much as possible.
[02:11] <soundray> MjV: sounds like you have plenty of reasons not to upgrade. Edgy will be supported well into 2008, so stick with it for now.
[02:11] <BHSPitMonkey> RemboSachs, you told me everything but what we need to know :)
[02:11] <dhamma> matthew__, ok...mic is alll the way up
[02:11] <RemboSachs> BHSPitMonkey, it asks me if i want to diagnose the problem... so i'd say no, right?
[02:11] <Nunzio> RemboSachs: When installing 7.04 i had an intergrated card and an NVidia card i put in, i started up in safe graphics mode and it seemed to come right on
[02:11] <bianconeri> igorsobreira, did you try pinging your router?
[02:11] <matthew__> dhamma: ok, go to the switches tab, edit preferences, and add microphone capture, and mic boost 20db
[02:11] <BHSPitMonkey> RemboSachs, it would tell some useful information if you hit Yes.
[02:12] <RemboSachs> BHSPitMonkey, ok, lemme check here
[02:12] <linxeh> I'm using KDE, with KnetworkManagaer for wireless - for some reason it is in "manual configuration" mode - is there any way to get it back as it was so I can use WPA ?
[02:12] <MjV> yeah I really didn't want to upgrade, and I've done the reading, but I figured I would ask around here and see if anyone had an arguments for the upgrade.
[02:12] <matthew__> dhamma: then you could test it out with me on skype, add me at gogogo11111
[02:12] <BHSPitMonkey> RemboSachs, you should also be able to Alt+F1 your way into a console shell.
[02:12] <RemboSachs> BHSPitMonkey, it says here... Caught signal 11, server aborting
[02:12] <xyz-abc> when you use the "man" command in terminal, how do you make the 'documentation' go away and return to normal terminal usage?
[02:12] <BHSPitMonkey> RemboSachs, the useful lines will start with (EE)
[02:12] <soundray> xyz-abc: 'q'
[02:13] <igorsobreira> bianconeri: no..i dunno how to do that...sorry...i guess it's a simple thing...but i dont anderstand nothing about wifi
[02:13] <xyz-abc> thanks
[02:13] <bryan> hey whats up everybody
[02:13] <damageDOn1> Can someone tell me in ubuntu how to make bin files work?
[02:13] <erm13> ./filename
[02:13] <bianconeri> igorsobreira, whats ur router brand?
[02:13] <Nunzio> chmod +x
[02:13] <RemboSachs> BHSPitMonkey, i don't see any (EE) tags
[02:13] <dsnyders> Hi all!  Does Feisty still use udev to manage USB hot swapping?
[02:13] <MidNightSunRay> damageDOn1, guess you just have to run 'em..
[02:13] <igorsobreira> bianconeri: i have a access point here...linksys...
[02:13] <_Neil> by the way, tonyyarusso, if you are still around: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17705/
[02:13] <BHSPitMonkey> RemboSachs, any errors or warnings before the signal 11?
[02:13] <_Neil> this is the error from backtrace
[02:13] <Nunzio> Ok i installed the VLC mozilla plugins and removed the totem-mozilla plugin and now on videos i have no controls and the video is like 2x
[02:13] <mystread> Hey, anyone know of a good Evolution alternative that can still connect to MS Exchange?
[02:14] <jexd> what are alternate music players for xfce other than exaile? something without gnome/kde libs
[02:14] <dhamma> matthew__, great...i did everything...will try calling you momentarily
[02:14] <bianconeri> igorsobreira, try in the terminal "ping <IP_ADDRESS>"
[02:14] <damageDOn1> I got  it from a torrent and I don't know how to make the movie play
[02:14] <Nunzio> jexd: i use Audacious
[02:14] <matthew__> dhamma: ok
[02:14] <RemboSachs> BHSPitMonkey, i only have 2 of the (==) lines before the error.. as well as some backtrace thing
[02:14] <Nunzio> oh
[02:14] <Smilez> Anyone got an NVidia card who can help me with my screen res
[02:14] <Smilez> ?
[02:14] <Nunzio> nevermind
[02:14] <erider> how do you completely remove a package with apt?
[02:14] <jpsamara> Nunzio: install mplayer and mozilla-mplayer plugin. much better
[02:14] <soundray> damageDOn1: sounds like it's a disk image. Try converting it to an iso with... erm...
[02:14] <MjV> Smilez:  What do you mean screen rez?
[02:14] <Nunzio> jpsamara: ok one second
[02:14] <SeveredCross> soundray: bchunk?
[02:14] <BHSPitMonkey> RemboSachs, when you start the livecd, go to the integrity test.  You might have a bad download, or a bad burn.
[02:14] <MidNightSunRay> erider, apt-get remove --purge
[02:14] <bianconeri> erider, sudo apt-get remove
[02:15] <damageDOn1> I think it is a movie disk image
[02:15] <mystread> What's a good mail program besides Evolution and Thunderbird?
[02:15] <BHSPitMonkey> mystread, GMail :D
[02:15] <MjV> and has anyone successfully used steam on either edgy or feisty??
[02:15] <bianconeri> erider, sudo apt-get remove package name
[02:15] <soundray> damageDOn1: YES, thanks SeveredCross, bchunk is the name of the package
[02:15] <Smilez> Mjv: my screen resolution without the Accelerated driver enabled, is 1024x768, when i enable the accelerated version, i get a whopping 800x600 max resolution
[02:15] <mcmillen> mystread: mutt :D
[02:15] <RemboSachs> BHSPitMonkey, i'll check, but i had it running fine on another pc
[02:15] <mcmillen> does anyone know how to make KDE apps quit "blinking" in the GNOME window list?
[02:15] <_Neil> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17706/
[02:15] <andreillin> ooo
[02:15] <damageDOn1> I know iso files you can right click and say burn to disk but not bin files right?
[02:15] <matthew__> Smilez: you try editing xorg.conf/
[02:15] <andreillin> andre
[02:15] <soundray> mystread: I concur with mcmillen
[02:15] <RemboSachs> BHSPitMonkey, i found more logs, lemme see
[02:15] <_Neil> heres a backtrace from a rhythmbox crash, any ideas guys ^^?
[02:15] <erider> MidNightSunRay: thanks and bianconeri that does not remove it completely
[02:16] <MjV> Smilez:  Did you get the latest drivers off NVidia's site?  And what video card do you have
[02:16] <mystread> mcmillen: can that connect to MS Exchange?
[02:16] <BHSPitMonkey> RemboSachs, if a corrupted part only affects your intel drivers, that could do it.
[02:16] <Smilez> matthew__:  yep... I put in my custom refresh rates, and all, but it wont give me any options besides 800x600
[02:16] <parithon> Has anybody successfully install Ubuntu 6.06 or 7.04 on an Apple G4 XServe?
[02:16] <Smilez> MjV: I got the latest drivers from the ubuntu repositories
[02:16] <damageDOn1> did you say bchunk is what I should use
[02:16] <damageDOn1> ?
[02:16] <bianconeri> erider, try using purge
[02:16] <soundray> damageDOn1: yes
[02:16] <matthew__> Smilez: hmm, it might be a driver issue then
[02:16] <MidNightSunRay> erider, to be completely sure, you should also remove the hidden directory in your home associated to the program, if there's one..
[02:16] <damageDOn1> is that in the repositories?
[02:16] <cybermatt> Question I installed Ubuntu on my external hd worked fine although the mbr seems courpt is there any way to redo the mbr form my Ubuntu box
[02:16] <soundray> !info bchunk | damageDOn1
[02:16] <ubotu> damagedon1: bchunk: CD image format conversion from bin/cue to iso/cdr. In component universe, is optional.  I installed it in a vmachine and it almost only did apt-get on ubuntu's repos
[02:17] <Smilez> matthew__: Its a problem with nvidia trying to detect my monitor. it simply can't, so it puts it on some crapy resolution
[02:17] <damageDOn1> Thanks soundray
[02:17] <gursikh> Hey guys, I just updated to feisty. I was playing around in beryl in edgy, but here I have the "desktop effects" thing. This new thing is cool and fancy, has the cube and everything. The only thing that I miss is the thing where I moved the mouse to the top-right and all the open apps would tile/show and I could select/view them from there. Is there anyway (short of putting beryl back) I can get that?
[02:17] <Smilez> MjV: how difficult was it to correct?
[02:17] <tbuss> How can I find information on a installed app in the terminal; for example, what version
[02:17] <MidNightSunRay> gursikh, install beryl, or compiz
[02:17] <goldy> \join tex
[02:17] <MjV> Smilez:  Not at all, I got the latest drivers, which I believe was a .deb package, and installed it
[02:17] <soundray> jpsamara: many of the long timers are still deaf from the squeals of pain of old automatix victims.
[02:17] <matthew__> Smilez: yeah it did that to me to, my native res is 1440x900, so i had to edit xorg.conf and put it in there. but im assuming you tried restarting your comp or X?
[02:18] <Smilez> MjV: Is there a possible repository i can use?
[02:18] <soundray> tbuss: apt-cache policy packagename
[02:18] <Smilez> matthew__:  Ive rebooted like 12 times already, trying everything
[02:18] <Nunzio> jpsamara: Thank you, the Mplayer plugin works really good and is alot better
[02:18] <tbuss> soundray: thank you
[02:18] <MjV> Smiles: let me check mine, hang on
[02:18] <Smilez> thanks
[02:18] <jpsamara> Nunzio: glad to be of help
[02:18] <dhamma> matthew__, i'm calling you, but nothing is happening
[02:18] <RemboSachs> BHSPitMonkey, so far i only found one (WW) tag. no errors yet..
[02:18] <matthew__> dhamma: it said i picked up?
[02:19] <matthew__> dhamma: it shows you in the conference, try calling the skype test call
[02:19] <gursikh> MidNightSunRay thanks!
[02:19] <dhamma> matthew__, the call duration is ticking away...how do i know?
[02:19] <bryan> hey i need help with an ipod on feisty...i got one of my programs to recognize my buddies ipod shuffle...but the program doesnt seev the ipos nano....

[02:19] <jrib> DarknezzSpace: /
[02:19] <eck> DarknezzSpace: /
[02:19] <soundray> DarknezzSpace: / (slash)
[02:19] <matthew__> dhamma, hold on, i think something is happening to my skype, its going really slow, let me restart skype
[02:19] <MidNightSunRay> DarknezzSpace, /
[02:19] <linxeh> mystread: if you enable imap on exchange it should be able to
[02:19] <DarknezzSpace> thanks
[02:19] <MjV> Smilez: http://nvidia.limitless.lupine.me.uk/ubuntu
[02:19] <dhamma> matthew__, i've tried that....i do the recording, but it never plays back
[02:19] <soundray> mystread: no, it's for reading and replying, not for fetching.
[02:20] <Nunzio> How do i stop SSH brute force attacks, its weird i just installed ubuntu like a few days ago and i've had like at least 12 different connections flooding auth.log with invalid users
[02:20] <MjV> Anyone get Steam working on Edgy, or know how??
[02:20] <jrib> !ipod > bryan (see the private message from ubotu)
[02:20] <jrib> bryan: not sure if that will help or not
[02:20] <mystread> thanks soundray and linxeh
[02:20] <tbuss> MidNightSunRay: I don;t know something is not right. I know I have mysql installed but when I issue command for package info, it says its not installed
[02:20] <Smilez> MjV: If i add that repository, and "check for updates" will it grab them?
[02:20] <eck> Nunzio: generally it is not something you should worry about... if you are turn off password auth
[02:20] <MjV> it should
[02:20] <MjV> Smilez:  It should
[02:20] <matthew__> dhamma: i guess its not working
[02:20] <tbuss> I'm editing a db right now
[02:20] <dhamma> matthew__, i failed the test call
[02:20] <bryan> jrib i do not know still what !ipod means...is that a channel, can i go there with the join command?
[02:20] <Nunzio> eck: I have DenyHosts installed and running now, should i still be worried about anything?
[02:20] <eck> Nunzio: although realistically it is just  a part of having ssh running
[02:20] <Smilez> thanks MjV i'll give it a go right now
[02:20] <MidNightSunRay> tbuss, search for mysql-client-common or mysql-server-common
[02:20] <TOXIC_> just a neeb question what is the command line for adding a text line at the end of a text file ?
[02:20] <matthew__> dhamma: wait, did you edit the sound things while skype was running
[02:20] <jrib> bryan: what client are you using to speak with us on irc?
[02:20] <xamox> if I want to clear my apt-cache, what's the best way to do it?
[02:20] <MjV> Smilez:   No problem
[02:21] <eck> Nunzio: i wouldn't bother with it, i don't think it will really improve security much
[02:21] <dhamma> matthew__, and still can't record in audacity...not sure what's wrong...i can hear myself on the headset
[02:21] <MidNightSunRay> TOXIC_, cat "text" >> filename
[02:21] <dhamma> matthew__, yes i did
[02:21] <eck> Nunzio: i don't think the threat is very big in the first place though
[02:21] <dhamma> matthew__, should i reboot my system?
[02:21] <bryan> thanks jrib i got that link
[02:21] <matthew__> dhamma: try restarting skype then, or restart your comp
[02:21] <cybermatt> Question I installed Ubuntu on my external hd worked fine although the mbr seems courpt is there any way to redo the mbr form my Ubuntu box
[02:21] <soundray> TOXIC_: hey you neeb ;) 'echo "Some Text" >>filename
[02:21] <dhamma> matthew__, ok
[02:21] <Nunzio> eck: What about those with insecure passwords, it might be to them?
[02:21] <jrib> xamox: you mean like 'apt-get clean'?
[02:21] <soundray> MidNightSunRay: no (TOXIC_)
[02:21] <Nunzio> Doubtful there are those few
[02:22] <soundray> MidNightSunRay: that'll append a file named text to filename
[02:22] <eck> Nunzio: passwd should stop you from choosing a bad password... ifyou look at the logs you will most likely see that only one or two passwords are tried for each user anyway
[02:22] <ScrAm> I'm having a problem with my digital camera. Whenever I plug it into any of my USB ports, nothing is in /dev/bus/usb or /proc/bus/usb
[02:22] <xamox> jrib, perfect, thx
[02:22] <eck> Nunzio: i would be more worred about someone who gets a password through some other method, not brute force
[02:22] <bryan> whern people refer to booting their "box" doe sthat mean their computer, or OS, ...
[02:22] <MidNightSunRay> soundray, lapsus..
[02:22] <linxeh> ScrAm: what problem, and what camera ?
[02:22] <soundray> ScrAm: is it turned on?
[02:22] <spankbot> Can anyone recommend a good pocast client / downloader
[02:22] <spankbot> for ubuntu
[02:22] <Nunzio> eck: Do i need to worry about a firewall such as firestarter? Or will my router be enough
[02:23] <eck> Nunzio: your router is fine
[02:23] <soundray> ScrAm: some cameras want to be set to USB mass storage mode with a switch or something
[02:23] <linxeh> ScrAm: does anything come up with lsusb -v ?
[02:23] <hector> after I install the nvidia drivers the display works fine but I get choppy video, what can I do?
[02:23] <ScrAm> linxeh: Yes, quite a lot of stuff. Want me to pastebin?
[02:23] <tbuss> MidNightSunRay: I guess it's not installed? thanks for your help
[02:23] <vcef> hi
[02:23] <linxeh> ScrAm: yeah - run it with sudo though. what camera is it ?
[02:23] <ejupin> Hi all, I need to log in as root so I can install a file for my broadcom wireless into /lib/firmware - I cant seem to log in as root, only user
[02:23] <Smilez> MjV: http://nvidia.limitless.lupine.me.uk/ubuntu/ <-- is for edgy... will it work for feisty?
[02:24] <haru> anyone know how to make linpopup play a music whenevr i recieve a net send
[02:24] <jrib> !root > ejupin (see the private message from ubotu)
[02:24] <vcef> I use nvidia binary driver. Will hibernate work for me? (I am running feisty)
[02:24] <jrib> !wireless > ejupin (see the private message from ubotu)
[02:24] <soundray> linxeh: lsusb doesn't normally need sudo
[02:24] <MjV> Smilez:  I'm not 100% sure
[02:24] <MjV> what kind of monitor do you have?
[02:24] <Smilez> some POS LCD from Dell
[02:24] <ejupin> thanks, but that didnt answer my question
[02:24] <linxeh> soundray: its the only way to remove the "operation not permitted" errors
[02:24] <Smilez> Pv755A (made by panosonic i think)
[02:24] <soundray> vcef: it works here
[02:24] <SlickMcRunfast> Anyone have their wine diablo2 install freeze? right after the cd key is inputted.
[02:24] <jrib> ejupin: why not?
[02:24] <linxeh> can't get hub descriptor: Operation not permitted
[02:24] <linxeh> cannot read device status, Operation not permitted (1)
[02:24] <linxeh> etc
[02:25] <soundray> linxeh: ah okay
[02:25] <ejupin> how do I log in as root instead of user from splash log in screen. doesnt allow it, keeps saying root not authorized to log in from this screen
[02:25] <vcef> soundray: That's great. So I guess this page is no  longer valid - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaLaptopBinaryDriverSuspend
[02:25] <jrib> ejupin: why would you want to do that?  That's silly
[02:25] <eck> ejupin: you can't do it unless you have a root password set (and shouldn't do it anyway)
[02:26] <hector> if I use the binary to install nvidia will I get better results than with the Ubuntu package?
[02:26] <haru> anyone know how to make linpopup play a music whenevr i recieve a net send
[02:26] <eck> ejupin: i think it might also be disabled int he default gdm settings
[02:26] <ejupin> then how do i get into the /lib/firmware folder which is a root owned folder?
[02:26] <ScrAm> linxeh: http://pastebin.ca/458674
[02:26] <jrib> ejupin: read the link ubotu gave you please
[02:26] <eck> ejupin: open up a terminal and run your commands with sudo
[02:26] <ejupin> eck:i dont know commands to change the permissions that way
[02:26] <parithon> Has anybody successfully install Ubuntu 6.06 or 7.04 on an Apple G4 XServe? I keep getting drive access errors
[02:26] <RemboSachs> BHSPitMonkey, the disk is 100% error free, just checked it
[02:27] <SlickMcRunfast> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_set.2Fchange.2Fenable_root_user_password
[02:27] <Drk_Guy> Hy
[02:27] <soundray> vcef: it mentions something about things being fixed in 96XX, and that's certainly true here.
[02:27] <SlickMcRunfast> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_allow_root_user_to_login_into_GNOME
[02:27] <ejupin> jrib:been reading and trying everything for 2 days already, sorry nothing works
[02:27] <RemboSachs> BHSPitMonkey, should i boot to safe graphics mode
[02:27] <Drk_Guy> How i can change the owner of a folder?????
[02:27] <vcef> ok. so I don't have to tinker with anything. I just hit hibernate and everything will work?
[02:27] <MidNightSunRay> Drk_Guy, chown
[02:27] <jrib> Drk_Guy: chown  don't use this on system folders
[02:27] <SlickMcRunfast> sudo chown USERNAME FOLDERNAME
[02:28] <DarknezzSpace> how do i get ps into some sort of readable or skimmable order?
[02:28] <Drk_Guy> It says it is from the root user
[02:28] <MidNightSunRay> SlickMcRunfast, sudo isn't always necessary..
[02:28] <Drk_Guy> I'll try it
[02:28] <vcef> for example - I don't have that NvAgp line in my xorg.conf
[02:28] <jrib> DarknezzSpace: use grep to grep for what you want.  Depending on what you are doing you may prefer 'top'
[02:28] <tbuss> MidNightSunRay: dont know if you care but I found it with mysql-server
[02:28] <Inacio_Gorayeb> I have a ATI graphic card and i'm are using beryl, but te decoration of the windows go off anybody know what is this?
[02:28] <eck> DarknezzSpace: use ps -o and sort, although i would just use something like top
[02:28] <DarknezzSpace> ok thanks
[02:29] <soundray> vcef: the only way to find out is to try. Even if it fails and you have to cold boot, you aren't risking anything major.
[02:29] <MidNightSunRay> tbuss, ;)
[02:29] <SlickMcRunfast> oh DRK_Guy, try this too if there are other things in the folder
[02:29] <vcef> ok
[02:29] <vcef> thanks

[02:29] <_Neil> Hey all.. how can I remove the 2 old (post feisty) kernels from my grub/system?
[02:29] <jrib> Drk_Guy: what folder is this?
[02:29] <MidNightSunRay> _Neil, remove the linux-kernel-* packages related to it
[02:29] <bryan> how do i know if i am root?
[02:30] <MidNightSunRay> bryan, whoami
[02:30] <bryan> and what is root exactly?
[02:30] <RemboSachs> Can someone help me, i am trying to boot from Live-CD and i get a server X error.
[02:30] <Drk_Guy> The Desktop
[02:30] <Inacio_Gorayeb> I have a ATI graphic card and i'm are using beryl, but te decoration of the windows go off anybody know what is this?
[02:30] <bryan> midnightsunray
[02:30] <Drk_Guy> It says it is from the "Root" user
[02:30] <bruenig> bryan, root is the super user, he can do anything.
[02:30] <bryan> am i the super user?
[02:30] <Pelo> RemboSachs,  do you have either a nvidia or ati video card ?
[02:30] <Drk_Guy> so i cannot delete it/change it properties
[02:30] <_Neil> MidNightSunRay: thanks
[02:30] <eck> bryan: not by default
[02:31] <RemboSachs> Pelo, i have an ATI mobility radeon x1600
[02:31] <linxeh> ScrAm`: what camera is it ?
[02:31] <bryan> this is my 4th day using linux ever, but it is the onlu OS i have at the moment
[02:31] <bryan> how do i become root
[02:31] <bruenig> bryan, you are not the super user, by default the super user does not exist. You can become the super user in order to run a root command by prefixing the command with sudo
[02:31] <jrib> Drk_Guy: sudo chown -R $USER: ~/Desktop        as someone said ebfore
[02:31] <bryan> im on fiesty
[02:31] <jrib> !root > bryan (see the private message from ubotu)
[02:31] <arrow_> When I hook a dvd player into my computer bios doesn't recognize it
[02:31] <ScrAm`> Microtek Take-it MV320
[02:31] <Pelo> RemboSachs,  I think you will have to use the alternate install cd  which is text based,  and install the restricted driver for ati card afterward
[02:31] <_Neil> MidNightSunRay: I dont have any linux-kernel images...
[02:32] <DarkrhaveN> hi
[02:32] <_Neil> packages***
[02:32] <DarkrhaveN> anyone know how to install windows xp over unbuntu ?
[02:32] <linxeh> ScrAm`: ugh :)   and it is a digital camera, not a webcam ?
[02:32] <RemboSachs> Pelo, does that mean i can't use my current CD? :(
[02:32] <Pelo> RemboSachs,  donT' hold me to that, there might be another way but I don't know it
[02:32] <ScrAm`> linxeh: I think it can be used as a webcam. I don't know.
[02:32] <Wicks> When my lappy switches to battery power, both the cores on the core2duo drop to 1ghz... (great!) but all of a sudden it's doing it when the laptop is plugged in as well. Any ideas?
[02:32] <_Neil> MidNightSunRay: You mean linux-image packages??
[02:32] <RemboSachs> oh
[02:32] <linxeh> DarkrhaveN: I hear it needs intervention by the devil
[02:32] <MidNightSunRay> DarknezzSpace, just install it in anpother partition and then adjust grub..
[02:32] <ScrAm`> It's a digitcal camera. Used for videos, pictures, audio.
[02:32] <Pelo> RemboSachs,  that would be the case, you would have to dl another cd
[02:32] <MidNightSunRay> _Neil, i think so
[02:32] <DarkrhaveN> linxeh: good to know.
[02:32] <ScrAm`> digital*
[02:32] <RemboSachs> dang
[02:32] <linxeh> ScrAm`: ok, did you turn it on?
[02:32] <cmatheson> i'm getting this weird error on one of my boxes (it's still running edgy).  i try to start x, but i get this error when running startx: Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console
[02:33] <soundray> ScrAm`: does it have a memory card?
[02:33] <ScrAm`> linxeh: If I try to turn it on while it's connected to the computer, it shuts right back off.
[02:33] <ScrAm`> soundray: Yeah.
[02:33] <Drk_Guy> Hey, it doesn't return results
[02:33] <Drk_Guy> But it has worked
[02:33] <Drk_Guy> Thanks Guys!!!!!
[02:33] <jterrero> Does anyone know of a program which can natively burn .mdf image files to DVD without having to use a 3rd party program to convert it from mdf to iso first
[02:33] <Drk_Guy> ;)
[02:33] <bruenig> jterrero, no
[02:33] <linxeh> ScrAm`: hmm - have you used it on windows ?
[02:33] <bruenig> jterrero, just convert it
[02:34] <ScrAm`> linxeh: Yep.
[02:34] <linxeh> ScrAm`: did you have to turn it on with windows ?
[02:34] <stiv2k> Anyone here run a SRCDS???????
[02:34] <soundray> ScrAm`: save yourself some pain and get a USB 2.0 card reader. Most cameras work at reduced speed (so called full speed) on the USB.
[02:34] <DarkrhaveN> so
[02:34] <jterrero> well, when i try to convert it it tells me that it is already an iso file
[02:34] <ScrAm`> linxeh: nope.
[02:34] <Pelo> jterrero,  doesnT  gnomebaker do it ?
[02:34] <DarkrhaveN> linxeh: how can I make it happen ?
[02:34] <jterrero> Pelo: will gnomebaker work with kde
[02:34] <linxeh> DarkrhaveN: I dont know, I've never done it, nor do I intend to
[02:34] <bruenig> jterrero, rename it .iso and see if you can burn it
[02:34] <tripppy> would there be a good reason why my PCI DVB card is not working in 7.10 when it worked fine in 6.10?
[02:34] <soundray> ScrAm`: even my luxury Leica
[02:34] <linxeh> DarkrhaveN: at a rough guess you just boot from the Windows XP cd...
[02:34] <jterrero> bruenig: tried that as well, nero wont recognize it
[02:34] <ScrAm`> soundray: About how much are those? And does it go into the computer or is it external?
[02:35] <Pelo> jterrero,      kb3 in kde , very similar, should to it as well
[02:35] <bruenig> nero?
[02:35] <cybermatt> hello i don't mean to annoy anybody here but
[02:35] <DarkrhaveN> i tried that. it won't boot.
[02:35] <linxeh> soundray: ooh you have an M8 ?
[02:35] <cybermatt> Question I installed Ubuntu on my external hd worked fine although the mbr seems courpt is there any way to redo the mbr form my Ubuntu box
[02:35] <soundray> ScrAm`: about 10 EUR (12$), there are both varieties
[02:35] <arrow_> When I hook a dvd drive into my computer bios doesn't recognize it
[02:35] <Pelo> jterrero,  if kb3 doesn'T do it I doubt  gnomebaker can
[02:35] <stiv2k> Anyone here run a SRCDS???????
[02:35] <soundray> linxeh: no, not quite that luxurious ;)
[02:35] <bruenig> arrow, ubuntu does not make bioses
[02:35] <jterrero> going to try both of them
[02:35] <soundray> linxeh: it's a D-Lux 3
[02:35] <linxeh> soundray: ah :) I use a Canon 1V and 20D
[02:36] <cybermatt>  can  anybody help me
[02:36] <linxeh> ScrAm`: did you have to install windows drivers for your camera ?
[02:36] <soundray> linxeh: how speedy are those on the USB? Or are they analog? (Pardon my ignorance...)
[02:36] <ScrAm`> linxeh: Nope.
[02:36] <ScrAm`> Just plugged it into USB and it popped up in Windows.
[02:36] <jterrero> gnomebaker wont burn it either
[02:36] <Pelo> cybermatt,  just state your problem if someone can help they will try
[02:36] <Tony_> cybermatt, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=296619&highlight=grub
[02:37] <cybermatt> thanks
[02:37] <linxeh> soundray: the 1V is film, the 20D is digital, and I think its usb2 - nowhere near as fast as the card reader though
[02:37] <Tony_> np
[02:37] <linxeh> soundray:  only plugged it in twice to use it in "tethered" mode - ie the PC controls the camera.
[02:37] <GionnyBoss> DarkrhaveN: it must boot. If it doesn't boot, then it's a cd problem. Well... are you sure you changed your BIOS settings to boot from CD?
[02:37] <arrow_> bruenig, it worked fine, then I tried to reinstall ubuntu and it didn't work, and now I'm trying to install it on a diff. hard drive and bioses doesn't recognize the dvd drive, even though it used to
[02:37] <Pelo> jterrero,   search for the extension in google,  to know the native application and search synaptic for an alternative
[02:38] <linxeh> ScrAm`: very odd, because your computer doesnt even know about the device atm, let alone linux trying to load a driver for it. have you tried a different USB port?
[02:38] <soundray> linxeh: yeah, they connect at USB 2.0 "full speed" rather than "high speed", like the card reader.
[02:38] <DarkrhaveN> GionnyBoss: changed the boot sequence, i put the cd first in the sequence.
[02:38] <jterrero> all google gives me is to convert the shit to iso
[02:38] <jterrero> which i tried
[02:38] <TOXIC_> soundray, sorry, my question was wrong, i wanted to DELETE the last line of a file... i asked the wrong question...
[02:38] <ScrAm`> linxeh: I'll try that.
[02:38] <jterrero> but when i try, mdf2iso tells me that my file already is an iso
[02:38] <DarkrhaveN> it still didn't boot, is there a way I can run that cd from unbuntu ? with wine possible ?
[02:38] <ScrAm`> I have like 8. :P
[02:38] <linxeh> ScrAm`: try not to use the USB hub if possible
[02:38] <linxeh> maybe the hub is onboard heh
[02:39] <Tony_> jterrero, have you tried just renaming it to *.iso?
[02:39] <ScrAm`> Nope, not plugging it into the hub.
[02:39] <DarkrhaveN> I wanna keep unbuntu but I can't figure out how to configure my wireless network card.
[02:39] <ScrAm`> Still not working though. :/
[02:39] <GionnyBoss> DarkrhaveN: so it must boot. What you have installed on your hard disk has got nothing to do with it. You can't install an operative system from another one... you should just boot from the cd.
[02:39] <DarkrhaveN> GionnyBoss: even when I set it first. it skips the cd and starts unbuntu
[02:39] <GionnyBoss> DarkrhaveN: tryed to search on google?
[02:39] <Tony_> jterrero, not sure it will work but a .bin file i've renamed .iso and hase worked on burning
[02:39] <linxeh> ScrAm`: might be worth doing a power off / on cycle (keep the power off for 20 seconds or so). if that doesnt work, try a different usb cable, otherwise I don't know :o
[02:39] <Pelo> jterrero,  did you try just changing the  extension to .iso and try buring it ?
[02:39] <soundray> TOXIC_: that's a little more complicated
[02:40] <DarkrhaveN> GionnyBoss: yeah, I was thinking maybe installing wine and running the cd in wine might work.
[02:40] <Nunzio> Does anyone know of an oddcast/icecast plugin for audacious
[02:40] <TOXIC_> soundray, exactly, because I know how to add a line
[02:40] <GionnyBoss> DarkrhaveN: I mean tryed to search on google for your wireless card
[02:40] <ScrAm`> Well this USB cable works, because I was just messing with my MP3 player from it.
[02:40] <TOXIC_> just, remove it... don't know...
[02:40] <DarkrhaveN> no, that I havn't thought of it.
[02:41] <soundray> TOXIC_: cat filename | head -n $[$(cat filename | wc -l)-1]
[02:41] <TOXIC_> had the idea of a loop reading line by line the first file, writing to another file, and then, replace the first file... but is there an easyer way ?
[02:41] <GionnyBoss> DarkrhaveN: nah, it would not work. You can't "run" it... you have to boot it. If it doesn't boot, you have problems with your Windows CD, and, by the way, it's not a #ubuntu problem
[02:41] <SpaceBassLaptop> when apt-get tells me it it cannot resolve a host, but I can ping that host...what does that mean?
[02:41] <linxeh> ScrAm`: maybe change the batteries in the camera if they are low?
[02:41] <jterrero> Pelo: tomaw_ : yes
[02:41] <jterrero> i tried
[02:41] <jterrero> changing it to iso.. nero will not recognize it
[02:41] <ScrAm`> linxeh: Tried that.
[02:42] <linxeh> SpaceBassLaptop: maybe your resolv.conf is screwed
[02:42] <jterrero> also, i know its not the image, ive burned the same exact image from windows box with no problems
[02:42] <stiv2k> Anyone here run a SRCDS???????
[02:42] <TOXIC_> soundray,  is it that simple ?
[02:42] <luisbg> anybody running ubuntu in a powerbook?
[02:42] <Pelo> jterrero,  and does kb3 recognise it when it is changed to .iso ?
[02:42] <soleblaze> Anyone here setup suspend/hibernate with an nvidia card?  I get the error that says it can't unload the nvidia driver.. I put "NvAGP" "1" in my config file, but nvidia still uses agpgart (my guess as to what's wrong)
[02:42] <TOXIC_> soundray, thanks a lot !
[02:42] <LjL> SpaceBassLaptop: it often means that your router has a little bug, which makes it go crazy when there's too many DNS (i.e. hostname resolution) requests all at once. try pointing your /etc/resolv.conf file to some other DNS server than your own home router (for example, <IP_ADDRESS> is a valid server)
[02:42] <tbuss> When asked for a Database Server Hostname / DSN, I used cat /etc/resolv.conf, Should I use  oakrdg01.tn.comcast.net or <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:42] <soundray> TOXIC_: well, it writes it to stdout, so to be complete:
[02:42] <SpaceBassLaptop> I use opendns already

When playing on secondary screen (1920x1080) no distortion.  any idea why?   Does it not run in the JVM or something
[02:45] <SpaceBassLaptop> craigbass1976, Cepstral has some voices that are down right freaky...that good
[02:45] <craigbass1976> SpaceBassLaptop, is the bass in your name related to fish, or music?
[02:45] <SpaceBassLaptop> craigbass1976, in 15 years no one has asked and EVERY has assumed it was the fish... THANK YOU... its music
[02:45] <soundray> SpaceBassLaptop: but cepstral isn't open source -- is it?
[02:46] <SpaceBassLaptop> soundray, no, true... but its pretty darned cheap

[02:50] <MidNightSunRay> DarknezzSpace, i think the only way is a mix of ps, awk and sort.. :p
[02:50] <Pelo> craigbass1976,  there is a general multi-lingual speech synthesis system  called festival
[02:50] <_`XeOn_> hello
[02:50] <soundray> luisbg: only if you can't live without professional support. Ubuntu community support is very good.
[02:50] <linxeh> I'm about to buy a new workstation with probably two or three 24" or 30" panels - what would be the best graphics card to go for to ensure that multiple desktops / large desktop tiling works properly?
[02:50] <DarknezzSpace> heh
[02:50] <DarknezzSpace> thanks
[02:50] <MidNightSunRay> hi _`XeOn_
[02:50] <_`XeOn_> i need support for feisty plz
[02:50] <palmerthegeek> hey all
[02:50] <AMAG> linxeh I just bought one 30" panel and a 7600GT to go with it.  That graphics card will drive only one 30" display, though
[02:50] <luisbg> soundray, I will give it a try then... do you know if the wifi in the powerbook is supported=
[02:51] <luisbg> ?
[02:51] <MidNightSunRay> _`XeOn_, simply ask..
[02:51] <linxeh> AMAG: yeah, I can stick multiple cards in the machine, it just depends on whether the drivers will let that happen
[02:51] <AMAG> linxeh:If you need two or more, consider an nvidia 8800GTX which supports two dual-link, 2560x1600 displays per card
[02:51] <linxeh> I don't want to spend all that money and end up with two 30" doorstops
[02:51] <LjL> DarknezzSpace, MidNightSunRay: "ps aux --sort cmd"
[02:51] <linxeh> AMAG: ok, cool - or I could look to the Quadros ?
[02:51] <bryan> se me midnightsunray
[02:51] <AMAG> Keep in mind you need two dual-link DVI connectors (and the card willing to drive them) so it's not purely a driver issue
[02:51] <soundray> luisbg: no, I don't know, but you can look up installation reports on the web or on tuxmobil.com
[02:52] <bryan> excuse*
[02:52] <_`XeOn_> i upgraded my system from edgy to feisty and when i did restart my ubuntu died says something like x.server error
[02:52] <AMAG> The 8800GTX is superior to all the current Quadro cards
[02:52] <luisbg> soundray, thanks
[02:52] <_`XeOn_> how to fix this?
[02:52] <DarknezzSpace> ah neat thanks
[02:52] <linxeh> AMAG: ok - and I guess that the consumer cards get more up to date linux drivers
[02:52] <AMAG> Quadros have good professional support, but they are not necessarily the best cards available.  You will notice that nvidia is no longer publishing tech specs on the Quadro cards online -- this is because consumer cards are actually "faster"
[02:52] <linxeh> AMAG: ok, cool :)
[02:53] <_`XeOn_> any1?
[02:53] <AMAG> Maybe you could answer a question for me, and help me understand how to use xauth so I can run X11 clients on my workstation display when the apps are running on other machines on my network.  :-)
[02:53] <bryan> i am using wine to try and run a recovery disk that is only opened with an exe file, it says it installs it, but then i do not know how to run the program in wine
[02:54] <Robbie> If I have an agp graphics card, but my Xorg.conf says Busid		"PCI:1:0:0" how much trouble am I in?
[02:54] <soundray> AMAG: make it easy for yourself, use ssh X forwarding
[02:54] <bryan> is there anyway to change the exe file into one i can boot to from a disk??
[02:54] <Pelo> I've seen several laptop ppl asking this and I started to wonder if it could hellp me,  Ihave an older CRT monitor,  is ther a way to adjust brightness and contrast from ubuntu ?
[02:54] <AMAG> soundray I know how to use that, and I also know how to say "xhost +hostname/ip" but I have wondered for _years_ how to get what I want from xauth
[02:54] <sanityx> I'm having trouble with the new network manager. My WiFi works great in roaming mode, but in manual configuration I can only use WEP, and my network is WPA.
[02:54] <_`XeOn_> Robbie thats nothing my xserver wont start im using command line to get some help :(
[02:55] <enix> is anyone else having trouble upgrading to  feisty fawn? i keep getting an error that says "failed to fetch cdrom" and refrences dapper drake. It aslo says that it may be a network problem, but my internet is fine, no firewall or anything like that.
[02:55] <linxeh> sanityx: I've got the same problem, but I can't seem to get it back into roaming mode
[02:55] <Robbie> _`XeOn_: I've been there for the last three days, I finally gave up and reinstalled
[02:55] <sanityx> linxeh, You just check the box. Might need to reboot.
[02:55] <parithon> Has anybody successfully install Ubuntu 6.06 or 7.04 on an Apple G4 XServe? I keep getting drive access errors
[02:55] <jrib> enix: what version are you using now?
[02:55] <linxeh> sanityx: which box ? :o
[02:55] <craigbass1976> THanks for the speech links guys.  I have them all in browsers now.
[02:55] <py_geek> how can i get rid of the kde files in ubuntu?
[02:55] <_`XeOn_> Help me
[02:55] <sanityx> linxeh, Click on the network manager in the tray, then click manual config
[02:56] <tripppy> would there be a good reason why my PCI DVB card is not working in 7.10 when it worked fine in 6.10?
[02:56] <soundray> AMAG: sounds like you need a *real* expert, then ;)
[02:56] <jrib> !helpme _`XeOn_

[02:56] <ubotu> _`XeOn_: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:56] <_`XeOn_> very funny
[02:56] <sanityx> and then check the roaming mode box
[02:56] <enix> jrib: 'uname -a: 2.6.17-11-386
[02:56] <AMAG> soundray I think xauth might be a lost art outside of university computing labs!
[02:56] <linxeh> sanityx: I'm using KDE here, so I dont see the same options :o
[02:56] <Pelo> enix,  are you upgrading frmo cd ?  you need the alternate install cd  not the the live cd
[02:56] <jrib> enix: I mean, what version of ubuntu?  dapper or edgy?
[02:56] <sanityx> linxeh, oooooh, cant help ya there.
[02:56] <Kubuntu_noob> anyone know of an isa-pnp module for ubuntu?
[02:56] <SpaceBassLaptop> anyone else got suggestions for why ping resolves hosts but apt-get doesnt ?
[02:56] <enix> Pelo: no im doing in via update manager
[02:57] <soundray> AMAG: even inside you might be lost... I'm not sure who I'd ask in ours
[02:57] <enix> edgy
[02:57] <AMAG> linxeh:If you don't mind my asking, which 30" display do you like best?  I bought the Dell model but only because the Apple and HP displays are a tiny bit larger, and they will not fit underneath the hutch on my desk :)
[02:57] <jrib> enix: pastebin your sources.list
[02:57] <linxeh> sanityx: ok I found it by running the gnome one - many thanks :)
[02:57] <sanityx> linxeh, heh
[02:57] <sanityx> linxeh, thats a lame solution though
[02:57] <py_geek> how can i remove files from the ubuntu menu on the top?
[02:57] <Pelo> enix,  the servers are a bit overloaded because of the high volume of ppl upgrading,  this might account for the problem   if you can you might want to upgrade from  cd and download it using torrents
[02:57] <_`XeOn_> i have serious problems with ma xorg.conf i cant boot in graphics mode only command line
[02:57] <rottenap2> misfit_toy: can you paste that link one more time?
[02:57] <sanityx> linxeh, I'm pretty sure you can use kwifi or something for that
[02:57] <linxeh> sanityx: yeah, maybe I'm tired though and missed the option :)
[02:57] <rottenap2> i'm on the desktop
[02:57] <jrib> py_geek: right click on the ubuntu icon > edit menus
[02:58] <AMAG> XeOn maybe you can be specific about the error message displayed
[02:58] <linxeh> AMAG: not sure - I need to get 2 new workstations for some heavy visualisation research we are about to start, and have a fairly large budget for each
[02:58] <fsckr> evening guys waht does this cmd do?  cat /dev/urandom > /dev/null?
[02:58] <AMAG> I just struggled with the 7.04 gdm for a while before I got it working.  I believe the gdmsetup X11 app is a bit buggy.
[02:58] <linxeh> AMAG: I liked the apple ones when I saw them last time I was in the USA, and we just got a Dell one for something else - its nice, but doesnt look quite as sexy as the apples
[02:58] <soundray> fsckr: it sends random numbers to oblivion
[02:59] <_`XeOn_> AMAG how i can see the error again if i can only see when i boot up
[02:59] <computo2> hi
[02:59] <fsckr> I was told to use that cmd as a cpu overload is that correct?
[02:59] <stiv2k> Anyone here run a Source Dedicated Server ?????
[02:59] <fsckr> for testing cpu
[02:59] <linxeh> fsckr: it will use part of the cpu but not necessarily all of it
[02:59] <AMAG> XeOn `sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart` should cause it to try to start gdm (and X11) again and re-produce the error.  You know how to switch between VTs right?
[02:59] <Tarkus> hey, is there a way to make it so i have root access while working in the GUI (window manager). instead of having to sudo in a terminal?
[02:59] <soundray> fsckr: better to use cpuburn
[03:00] <fsckr> ok then its not feasible
[03:00] <fsckr> yea soundray but thats in winders :P
[03:00] <HaSH> fsckr, its uses /dev/urandom to generate randmon stuff and it puts it to /dev/null which is nothing its somthing to throw data at to make it go away
[03:00] <soundray> no, fsckr
[03:00] <soundray> !info cpuburn | fsckr
[03:00] <linxeh> AMAG: I'm tempted to buy apple hardware too :o
[03:00] <ubotu> fsckr: cpuburn: a collection of programs to put heavy load on CPU. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.4-23 (feisty), package size 13 kB, installed size 116 kB (Only available for amd64 i386 hurd-i386 kfreebsd-i386 kfreebsd-amd64)
[03:00] <fsckr> :O
[03:00] <fsckr> awesome
[03:00] <fsckr> ty much soundray
[03:01] <enix> jrib: patebin not working 4 me
[03:01] <Pelo> jterrero,   did the burn work ?
[03:01] <atselby> Where can I go to talk to anyone who works on Screenlets?
[03:01] <digin4> how can i send something via bluetooth on 7.04?
[03:01] <soundray> fsckr: run 'dpkg -L cpuburn | grep bin' to list the binaries and pick the one you need for your CPU
[03:01] <jrib> enix: use any other pastebin you want
[03:01] <enix> jrib: *pastebin
[03:01] <fsckr> k thx
[03:01] <AMAG> linxeh:I considered doing that but, to my surprise, the best video card Apple offers is the ATI 1900XTX(?), which is substantially inferior to the nvidia products.  I -think- it can do two 30" displays though
[03:01] <Pelo> atselby,  what engine are you using ?
[03:01] <fsckr> again
[03:01] <atselby> pelo: ..Screenlets, I think it's Compiz?
[03:01] <HaSH> fsckr, also take a look at unixbench if you are looking to bnechmark or w/e
[03:02] <Pelo> atselby,  doesn'T realy matter check the site of the ppl who make that screelets thing and see if the y have achannel or a forum
[03:02] <enix> jrib: http://rafb.net/p/Ssf7E944.html
[03:02] <AMAG> Rumor has it that even the upcoming ATI 2900-series card is only about half-way between the 7950GX2 and 8800GTX in 3DMark score.
[03:02] <fsckr> ty HaSH
[03:02] <atselby> pelo: okay, I just wanted to see if anyone here knew of one offhand.
[03:02] <linxeh> AMAG: hmm :o it's hard to decide what to do, because so much of academia is using Apple now, and there are loads of visualisation tools for OSX. I don't want to spend that much money and then be locked out of a bunch of stuff
[03:02] <HaSH> np
[03:02] <atselby> thanks
[03:02] <AMAG> The Apple OS is certainly easy to use, too; especially for graphics people
[03:02] <slave4women> hello
[03:02] <Tarkus> anyone know if there is a way to have root access while working in the GUI (window manager). instead of having to 'sudo su' in a terminal?
[03:03] <AMAG> Maybe you should ask an nvidia vendor if OSX supports the 8800GTX
[03:03] <Robbie> On startup I was greeted with the following: Nautilus can't be used now, due to an unexpected error from Bonobo when attempting to locate the factory. Killing bonobo-activation-server and restarting Nautilus may help fix the problem
[03:03] <Pelo> atselby,   I know gdesklets as a channel on another network but it is almost always empty
[03:03] <slave4women> hello, acn someone private message me
[03:03] <jrib> enix: get rid of the cdrom repo (delete the first line) and 'sudo apt-get update'.  Also, I'd recommend removing automatix
[03:03] <AMAG> I would imagine the newer PowerMac mainboards have two PCI-e x16 slots.  One would hope so.
[03:03] <linxeh> AMAG: I'm not *too* bothered about bleeding edge 3D performance - I'm mainly dealing in 2D graph visualisation etc, but again I don't want to lock myself out of things
[03:03] <computo2> i cant install ubuntu, the cd starts but it stops with the message "cant acces tty: job control turned off"
[03:03] <atselby> pelo: Yes, I used to use gDesklets and had been there. Thanks though.
[03:03] <computo2> what can i do?
[03:03] <soundray> Tarkus: can you rephrase that please -- what are you trying to do?
[03:03] <enix> jrib: automatix altogether, or just the entry
[03:04] <xburnxinxhell> Hello
[03:04] <AMAG> Well, the 8800GTX is around $600, and draws a lot of power; though it's reputed that the ATI 2900 is less performance/watt than the NV GPU too
[03:04] <jrib> enix: automatix altogether (only the one line in your sources.list though)
[03:05] <Crazytom> sanityx, google for wpa supplicant
[03:05] <xburnxinxhell> I'm trying to install the new ubuntu version on my pc and it will not install or when it tries ittle get to a boot screen and ask for a user/pass and wont let me go on from there right now i'm downloading the 64 bit edition even tho i have a intel with 2 processors
[03:05] <rbrtoclto> is there a way to disable the notification area balloons without removing the notification area entirely?
[03:05] <AMAG> I think a new nvidia "enthusiast" (SP?) card will come out in Q3 to replace the 8800GTX now that they have more experience with the NV70-series GPUs.
[03:05] <AMAG> The 8500/8600 silicon differs quite a bit from the 8800
[03:05] <sanityx> Crazytom, I know all about wpa supplicant. I was hoping not to have to do that manually anymore.
[03:05] <Crazytom> oh
[03:05] <enix> jrib: do u recomend easyubuntu then
[03:05] <xburnxinxhell> I'm trying to install the new ubuntu version on my pc and it will not install or when it tries ittle get to a boot screen and ask for a user/pass and wont let me go on from there right now i'm downloading the 64 bit edition even tho i have a intel with 2 processors
[03:05] <Pelo> atselby,  I believe there is a #compiz on this network, I might be wrong
[03:06] <Tarkus> soundray: when go to Places>Computer, and then clikc on Filesystem (root), then i am viewing / in a window browser but i dont have root rights so im unable to remove folders or edit xorg.conf. or anything without going into a terminal, typing 'sudo su', and then only able to operate with terminal commands, is there a way to get root acces without having to use terminal? and just be able to visually right click remove? with root
[03:06] <Tarkus> rights?
[03:06] <soundray> !repeat | xburnxinxhell
[03:06] <walkintome> hi all. im trying to install my wireless n usb adapter (wusb300n) and after 2 days i am still not up and running. i have not been able to install ndiswrapper
[03:06] <ubotu> xburnxinxhell: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[03:06] <errorlevel> I'm having a problem updating from Edgy to Feisty.  :-/  Can someone help?  When I click the Upgrade button in Update Manager, it says it can't download the release notes.
[03:06] <linxeh> AMAG: ok, many thanks for your advice - I'll have a good look into it tomorrow
[03:06] <walkintome> i was hoping someone could help me get my system connected ot the internet . im running feisty 32-bit
[03:06] <soundray> Tarkus: okay, understand. In the terminal, run gksu nautilus
[03:06] <linxeh> AMAG: I fear that RAM is going to eat most of my budget though
[03:06] <AMAG> RAM is cheap.  :-)
[03:06] <linxeh> AMAG: 64GB in 16x4GB dimms isnt :)
[03:06] <soundray> Tarkus: and please use 'sudo -i' for a root shell. 'sudo su', 'sudo bash' etc. give you mixed environments.
[03:06] <AMAG> indeed!
[03:07] <linxeh> I just ordered 256GB of that for some servers - around 48K :o
[03:07] <Tarkus> soundray: alright, thanks.
[03:07] <jrib> enix: there's really no need for either in feisty.  libdvdcss is the only thing that would require some extra work and you could get that very easily by just using the medibuntu repos
[03:07] <linxeh> right, offtopic enough :)
[03:07] <gonnaeatthat> hey anyone know the sites off hand to search for linux programs?
[03:07] <Tarkus> soundray: so i should use sudo su? i should do sudo -i?
[03:07] <linxeh> thanks again everyone - see you later
[03:07] <gonnaeatthat> im searching for an alternative to a windows program and have had 0 luck
[03:07] <linxeh> gonnaeatthat: freshmeat.net, sourceforge.net
[03:07] <soundray> Tarkus: use 'sudo -i'. Avoid the other varieties.
[03:07] <enix> jrib: http://rafb.net/p/UiqiS988.html
[03:08] <AMAG> gonnaeat:apt-cache search :)
[03:08] <MidNightSunRay> gonnaeatthat, which windows program?
[03:08] <linxeh> gonnaeatthat: what program ?
[03:08] <Pelo> gonnaeatthat, http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html
[03:08] <linxeh> heh
[03:08] <gonnaeatthat> fraps
[03:08] <soundray> Tarkus: 'sudo -i' gives you a clean environment, where, for example, $HOME points to /root/
[03:08] <jrib> enix: did you delete the getautomatix line?
[03:08] <gonnaeatthat> it captures video on your screen
[03:08] <gonnaeatthat> i am doing linux instructional videos for my blog
[03:08] <linxeh> gonnaeatthat: hmm, we just bought hardware boxes to do that
[03:08] <linxeh> gonnaeatthat: a little thing you give a HD15 VGA connector to, and it has a USB port on it
[03:08] <enix> jrib: no, but i will
[03:09] <ryan> howdy all
[03:09] <gonnaeatthat> oh linx not hardware based
[03:09] <gonnaeatthat> but record computer screen as you work
[03:09] <weswh-> does anyone know much about SSHFS? I am wondering if the connection to the server is persistent - or if it "idles" after a period of inactivity and reopens the connection or something?
[03:09] <ryan> I had a question for someone more experienced than me
[03:09] <linxeh> gonnaeatthat: this does to - its a different solution to the same problem
[03:09] <linxeh> gonnaeatthat: have a look at vnc2swf though
[03:09] <linxeh> gonnaeatthat: and vncrec
[03:09] <gonnaeatthat> is that the popular one?
[03:09] <Tarkus> soundray: im not sure i understand. (im very new to linux so i still dont know alot of things)
[03:09] <weswh-> in other words, if the connection is broken for some reason - does the mount just unmount?
[03:09] <linxeh> gonnaeatthat: its one that I know of :)
[03:10] <CrocoJet> someone knows one good site to setup freenx ?
[03:10] <gonnaeatthat> lol
[03:10] <linxeh> gonnaeatthat: also demorecorder or someting ?
[03:10] <MidNightSunRay> ryan, don't ask to ask. just ask.
[03:10] <gonnaeatthat> i know thats a not so typical question
[03:10] <AMAG> x11rec perhaps?
[03:10] <ryan> anyone installed an ATI Mobility 7500 Radeon on a laptop?
[03:10] <gonnaeatthat> they downloaded through synaptic?
[03:10] <Pelo> gonnaeatthat,  check out  recordmydesktop
[03:11] <soundray> Tarkus: okay, I suggest you take it on trust then that 'sudo -i' is the sound way to get a shell with root rights. Once you know a bit more about Linux/Ubuntu, you will understand why.
[03:11] <gonnaeatthat> thats what i need pelo i think
[03:11] <enix> jrib: i forget the command to see if i have an app installed, i know i have automatix, but cant remember if easyubuntu is
[03:11] <gonnaeatthat> im trying to convert people to ubuntu
[03:11] <gonnaeatthat> and want to put instructional videos as most people have a hard time looking at the guide
[03:11] <Pelo> gonnaeatthat,  it's in synaptic
[03:11] <CrocoJet> someone here use freenx ?
[03:11] <wgw> good evening
[03:11] <Tarkus> soundray: alright, so i wont use 'sudo su' anymore, only 'sudo -i' right?
[03:12] <wgw> is there a way to get the installer to overwrite an NTFS partition with a complete set of partitions?
[03:12] <wgw> and also does KVM work with JFS?
[03:12] <Pelo> gonnaeatthat,  man page make me cry
[03:12] <soundray> Tarkus: that's what I said about four times now.
[03:12] <wgw> I'd prefer to use JFS, as I'm an IBM fanboy, if it won't cause me any problems with KVM or other abnormalities
[03:12] <gonnaeatthat> lol pelo google is my manual
[03:12] <Galga> the update manager failed after several attempts in order to update the distro. what should i do now, in order to complete
[03:12] <gonnaeatthat> im new to linux and depend on it
[03:12] <gonnaeatthat> rather than bother people :) although ubuntu people are nice
[03:13] <Pelo> wgw,   gparted will let you manipulate any partition anyway you want
[03:13] <dj-fu> Hi, I'm using nss-updatedb to store a local cache of my ldap authentication server, ('db' in nsswitch.conf) but it doesn't seem to work with it. if I set it to to 'db files', it will not auth anything from the ldap server (when it should, because it's cached). Any ideas?
[03:13] <wastrel> hi dudes
[03:13] <jrib> enix: I don't know the name, but it won't do any harm if you leave them there without running them
[03:14] <kingcobra> does anybody know is libfltk1.1c102 in build essential or similar
[03:14] <enix> jrib: i will just do a apt-remove on both, if nothing is there no harm
[03:14] <jrib> enix: k
[03:14] <xburnxinxhell> I'm trying to install the new ubuntu version on my pc and it will not install or when it tries ittle get to a boot screen and ask for a user/pass and wont let me go on from there right now i'm downloading the 64 bit edition even tho i have a intel with 2 processors
[03:14] <gonnaeatthat> lol okay pelo one more question
[03:14] <jrib> enix: apt-cache policy PACKAGE   tells you if a package is installed
[03:14] <gonnaeatthat> do synaptic packages normally provide a shortcut
[03:14] <Pelo> kingcobra,  just look up  build-essential in synaptic and right click  to properties and look at the dependecies tab
[03:14] <enix> jrib: also i am not a big fan of having apps i dnt use
[03:14] <wgw> I don't suppose any of gparted is included on the default CD??
[03:14] <gonnaeatthat> lol cause i have no idea where to search for it
[03:15] <soundray> wgw: it is
[03:15] <Pelo> gonnaeatthat,   search feature in the toolbar
[03:15] <wgw> if nott, fortunately I have GParted on a DVD
[03:15] <wgw> ah it is?
[03:15] <wgw> good to know
[03:15] <wgw> accessible from bash by typing "gparted"??
[03:15] <cgood> I click Places->Connect to server, and setup an SMB share, I get an icon folder on my desktop, I can copy/delete files to/from this folder, but in firefox I go to save a download and I cannot find the location of this folder where is it??
[03:15] <soundray> wgw: sudo gparted
[03:15] <kingcobra> Pelo, i want to know how to get libfltk1.1c102 i mean
[03:15] <wgw> perfect
[03:15] <damageDOne> how do erase a CDRW disk in ubuntu?
[03:15] <soundray> wgw: sorry 'gksudo gparted'
[03:15] <stiv2k> Anyone here run a Source Dedicated Server ?????
[03:15] <ryan> I have an ATI Mobility Radeon 7000 in my laptop.  I need to get drivers installed for it and don't know where to start.  Ubuntu 6.06
[03:15] <gonnaeatthat> nevermind i forgot to install the gui
[03:15] <wgw> ok
[03:15] <gonnaeatthat> like a moron
[03:15] <kingcobra> Pelo, there are a few ones like it that i need
[03:15] <enix> jrib:  thanks for all the help
[03:15] <Pelo> kingcobra,   sudo apt-get install packagename
[03:15] <wastrel> damageDOne:  it will automatically erase if you try to write to it again i think
[03:16] <wgw> also do you know if JFS is a bad idea?
[03:16] <gonnaeatthat> one thingi need to get used to with linux is the supplemental installs
[03:16] <wgw> if I can use it, I'd like to
[03:16] <Pelo> kingcobra, or you can look up the packages you need in synatpic
[03:16] <wgw> but I need KVM and I'd prefer not to have any bizarre glitches
[03:16] <damageDOne> I I keep getting errors every time I use a CDRW disk
[03:16] <soundray> damageDOne: just write to it using nautilus. It will offer to blank it then.
[03:16] <wgw> I'm installing on a Mactel Mac Mini
[03:16] <kingcobra> Pelo, im wondering would build essential or similar get them all for me
[03:16] <wgw> I'm running off the LiveCD now
[03:16] <walkintome> im having a porblem with ubuntu 7.04 trying to install ndiswrapper. i have yet to complete and installation of ndiswrapper...i keep having to install package after package and each time i need to install another..that or it says the package im trying to install is already available, yet another package will say i still need it. what gives?
[03:16] <redt0nia> i have a G4 Mac mini
[03:16] <kingcobra> what is the build essential command
[03:17] <redt0nia> its the best machine i ever had
[03:17] <soundray> !b-e
[03:17] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[03:17] <damageDOne> I tried to do that but I get an eror message telling me to insert a disk of one of the types listed but the CDRW disk is one of them
[03:17] <gonnaeatthat> pelo that program is great
[03:17] <gonnaeatthat> thank you do much
[03:17] <Pelo> kingcobra,   build=essentials is just the stuff you need to compile a source, it doesn'T grab  dependencies for you,  you need to install those by hand if you are compiling from source
[03:17] <wgw> this Intel Mac Mini is awesome but IMO OS X is pathetic
[03:17] <wgw> and I want to tap the Intel VT that the CoreDuo chip features
[03:17] <Pelo> gonnaeatthat,   synaptic is the new linux user's best friend
[03:17] <wgw> and I've confirmed that it is working, I ran a command which tested that
[03:17] <gonnaeatthat> wgw unless you do graphic design mac = useless
[03:17] <wgw> well I do graphic design
[03:17] <gonnaeatthat> lol synaptic sure is a life saver :)
[03:17] <wgw> but I use Windows for it :-P
[03:17] <CharlieSu> wgw: aww.. i love OSX...
[03:17] <damageDOne> This is the message I get: "Please put a disc, with at least 298.3 MiB free, into the drive.  The following disc types are supported:
[03:17] <damageDOne> DVD+R DL, DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, CD-R, CD-RW"
[03:17] <gonnaeatthat> lol wgw same here
[03:17] <wgw> OS X is slow and bloated IMO
[03:18] <gonnaeatthat> you get adobe cs3 yet?
[03:18] <soundray> !enter > wgw
[03:18] <redt0nia> i llov OSX too
[03:18] <wgw> I prefer WinXP, which at least runs faster
[03:18] <Pelo> gonnaeatthat,  but learn to use apt-get it does save time if you know the package name
[03:18] <CharlieSu> wgw: really?? not w/ me
[03:18] <gonnaeatthat> lol pelo i did for nvidia drivers
[03:18] <redt0nia> i have osx on a blue 233 imac
[03:18] <jose> can i use wine for install a diver?
[03:18] <jemmille> anyone up for a graphics/xorg question?
[03:18] <errorlevel> Would anybody happen to know why I can't download the release notes (that's the error message I get) when I try to upgrade from Edgy to Feisty?  I can use synaptic package manager just fine....
[03:18] <gonnaeatthat> me and apt-get were best friends when installing my wireless card in dapper
[03:18] <soundray> jose: no
[03:18] <tripppy> why doesnt nvtvout work?
[03:18] <ZeroZiat> Hello #ubuntu.
[03:18] <ejupin> Thanks everyone that helped me get my wireless card configured. Finally working fine!
[03:18] <ZeroZiat> QUestion here
[03:19] <ZeroZiat> I want to install Ubuntu
[03:19] <jose> ok
[03:19] <wgw> anyway I take it absolutely no one knows anything about the use of JFS?  If not, alas
[03:19] <|thunder> Hey all, anyone got that new nvidia driver installed on feisty? It installes just fine, but when I restart I get an error saying that my kernel driver and x driver have a version mismatch.  The kernel module is the old legacy driver that ships with feisty, the 7184 version. But the X driver version remains the new one, 100.14.103
[03:19] <gonnaeatthat> okay zero whats the question?
[03:19] <damageDOne> Every CDRW disk I have gives me the same error
[03:19] <walkintome> ejupin: i need ot get where you are!
[03:19] <rbrtoclto> surely I'm not the only one that hates those ugly Windows XP balloons that pop up every time I log in :P
[03:19] <ZeroZiat> But I want it on a separate partition, with Windows
[03:19] <kingcobra> Pelo, ok thanks
[03:19] <ZeroZiat> How do I manage to do that?
[03:19] <enix> this is off topic so feel free to flame me but, do any of you get picmail on ur cell phone thta is a small looping video? How is this done? I have some in mind but cant find out how to make them so i can send to my phone and share w/ friends
[03:19] <Pelo> kingcobra,  you might benefit from this  http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/
[03:19] <jemmille> to get my nvidia drivers to work i had to execute nvidia-configure AFTER the drivers were installed, not when the installer asks
[03:20] <gonnaeatthat> zero you click install on the live cd
[03:20] <xyz-abc> how can I download packages from the synaptic manager and put them somewhere else (so I wouldn't keep using up bandwidth when I install and reinstall packages)?
[03:20] <gonnaeatthat> and you can set up partitions
[03:20] <ryan> I have a laptop with an ATI Mobility Radeon 7500.  I'm runnin Ubuntu 6.06 and have no clue where to start for installing drivers
[03:20] <|thunder> jemmille; dosnt that just config xorg.conf ? does that mess with the kernel module setups?
[03:20] <gonnaeatthat> you will need a roughly 4 gig \  partition 1 gb swap and whatever you got left for your ext3
[03:20] <cgood> the folder location says to be smb://host/share/ but firefox cannot seem save to this location, what should I do?
[03:20] <damageDOne> soundray: I tried using k3B too but it gives me errors and I can't get out of the loop of it asking to erase and telling me it can't eject and telling me to erase
[03:20] <ZeroZiat> But I want it on a separate partition, with Windows
[03:20] <Aurora_Bor3alis> jemmille, all nvidia-config does is adjust the xorg.conf file to use the nvidia driver
[03:20] <ZeroZiat> How do I manage to do that?
[03:20] <kha>
[03:20] <kha> hi
[03:20] <gonnaeatthat> with windows?
[03:20] <ZeroZiat> Ya.
[03:20] <gonnaeatthat> or separate partitions from windows?
[03:21] <ZeroZiat> Uhh
[03:21] <ZeroZiat> I have Windows XP installed
[03:21] <|thunder> ryan, look in /var/cache/apt/archives/
[03:21] <ZeroZiat> I want to install Ubuntu in the same hard drive
[03:21] <jemmille> anyone willing to chat one-on-one, too busy here, i have my graphics drivers installed but my taskbar is smack in the middle of my screen
[03:21] <gonnaeatthat> ZeroZiat  thats no problem
[03:21] <xyz-abc> how can I download packages from the synaptic manager and put them somewhere else (so I wouldn't keep using up bandwidth when I install and reinstall packages)?
[03:21] <RobbieCrash> !blacklist
[03:21] <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
[03:21] <wgw> oh btw, how much space do the different partitions need?  Is there a MAN page or guide for that?
[03:21] <ryan> thunder: what am I looking for?
[03:21] <gonnaeatthat> ZeroZiat, thats not hard
[03:21] <wgw> oh and btw sorry about the overuse of "enter" - old, bad, habit
[03:22] <ZeroZiat> gonnaeatthat: Cool, what do I do?
[03:22] <|thunder> ryan; in there somewhere should be the .deb packages you wanted
[03:22] <rbrtoclto> zero: the installer lets you resize your Windows partition, I think it's advised you run defrag under Windows first though
[03:22] <gonnaeatthat> ZeroZiat: you need to setup a new partition for ubuntu
[03:22] <cyberfr0g> Hello
[03:22] <kingcobra> Pelo, thanks i think ill have to install the dependencies myself tho
[03:22] <ZeroZiat> gonnaeatthat: How?
[03:22] <Frogzoo> ZeroZiat: you'll need a spare partition to install ubuntu - that can mean resizing your ntfs partition, which despite what people might say, is not straightforward
[03:22] <HYPOCRISY> hello
[03:22] <gonnaeatthat> zero i will pm you okay?
[03:22] <damageDOne> wastrel: can you help?
[03:22] <gonnaeatthat> so we dont bog this chat down
[03:23] <Frogzoo> gonnaeatthat: qparted has a bug that can trash ntfs partitions, just so's you know
[03:23] <wastrel> damageDOne:  i don't know
[03:23] <Pelo> errorlevel,  what iproblem makes you cry ?
[03:23] <errorlevel> Pelo: I didn't know your name is Update Manager.
[03:23] <gonnaeatthat> frog did this happen to you?
[03:23] <cyberfr0g> confidential
[03:23] <HYPOCRISY> I'll think about it
[03:23] <gonnaeatthat> what do your recommend then
[03:23] <Doffo> Hello. :)
[03:23] <gonnaeatthat> gparted worked for me well
[03:23] <Doffo> I was wondering how Ubuntu works as far as antivirus goes?
[03:24] <damageDOne> wastrel: k3B and natualis give me errors when I try to use my CDRWs
[03:24] <EdgEy> doffo there is no real need for antivirus
[03:24] <Pelo> errorlevel,   the servers are a bit overwhelmed atm with the high number or ppl upgrading,  be patient
[03:24] <ryan> thunder:  I'm sorry, but I'm really not sure exactly what I'm looking for
[03:24] <gonnaeatthat> ZeroZiat: you ready to install?
[03:24] <Frogzoo> gonnaeatthat: I recommend: download a binary for the latest qparted & save to usb - then boot a livecd, and run qparted off the usb
[03:24] <|thunder> damageDOne; then you dont have permission to use them, maybe a fudged fstab entry
[03:24] <errorlevel> Pelo: Update Manager can't get the release notes for Feisty, it says to check my internet connection (although, I speak to you right now using it) and so I can't upgrade from Edgy to Feisty.  Searching the community docs yields nothing.  The Google yields nothing but the translation strings from the update manager package containing that error.
[03:24] <ZeroZiat> gonnaeatthat: Uhh, never did this.
[03:24] <Pelo> errorlevel,  oh that
[03:24] <cohete> Is anyone else here having trouble with ekiga? I get a "security check failed" with<EMAIL_ADDRESS>but other echo servers work fine...
[03:25] <gonnaeatthat> okay :)
[03:25] <damageDOne> thunder: Oh how would I fix that?
[03:25] <linuxor> Hi, when I use gaim, it starts and after a moment it closes, why ?
[03:25] <cohete> (Everything worked fine before I upgraded to feisty)
[03:25] <|thunder> ryan; sry, you said you didnt want to have to redownload packages again and again, when they are downloaded, thats where they go
[03:25] <gonnaeatthat> you using the livecd i take it?
[03:25] <Pelo> errorlevel,  I don'T know how else you could get them,  have you searched the site itself ?
[03:25] <damageDOne> thunder: it doesn't say anything about not havign permissions
[03:25] <ZeroZiat> gonnaeatthat:Yes I am.
[03:25] <|thunder> damageDOne; dont know. track down a proper fstab
[03:25] <Doffo> k, thanks. I was thinking that one to myself as far as antivirus, is it because to even write to a file you would need to type in the password n such?
[03:25] <ryan> thunder: oh!  no, I have it saved on the desktop.  I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to do to install xorg 6.8
[03:25] <damageDOne> what's an fstab?
[03:25] <xyz-abc> how can I download packages from the synaptic manager and put them somewhere else (so I wouldn't keep using up bandwidth when I install and reinstall packages)?
[03:25] <errorlevel> Pelo:  Yep.  It would be nice if Update Manager could be a little bit more verbose in its error reporting...
[03:26] <walkintome> anyone willing to do some in-dept work with a linux noob wiht no internet connection trying to get his wireless up and running?
[03:26] <|thunder> damageDOne; /etc/fstab is where the system keeps info about what partitions to mount on startup
[03:26] <walkintome> in depth*
[03:26] <Frogzoo> !fstab
[03:26] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[03:26] <|thunder> walkintome; is it reccognizing your wireless ?
[03:27] <walkintome> its not..it lists only wiered and modem
[03:27] <sebas_> do you think that the more people use Ubuntu (Linux in general), the more security risks there will be?
[03:27] <walkintome> but under devices it shows the linksys adapter
[03:27] <damageDOne> Anyone know how I would find a proper fstab?
[03:27] <cohete> walkintome: do you know the model of the wireless card?
[03:27] <cgood> does anyone know how to save a firefox download to a network samba share in ubuntu?
[03:27] <bruenig> damageDOne, write one
[03:27] <fsckr> damageDOne, you already have one
[03:27] <arejay> http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/3812/ssontvdr3.png
[03:27] <Doffo> sebas_: i was wondering the same for myself, thats why I was asknig about antivirus
[03:27] <walkintome> cohete: its actualyl a usb adapter and its model is wusb300n
[03:27] <arejay> I <heart> ubuntu
[03:27] <arejay> :)
[03:27] <fsckr> ;)
[03:27] <dariens> Hey guys... I'm trying to install 7.0.4 on a new PC and i'm getting xorg errors...  I've got a evga GeForce 7600 PCIe, any ideas?
[03:28] <damageDOne> but apparently it's not letting me erase CDRWs
[03:28] <damageDOne> Is there a way to do it as root
[03:28] <walkintome> cohete: the few people ive spoen to have told me my problem is particularly challenging
[03:28] <fsckr> dariens, paste your xorg.log
[03:28] <ryan> dariens: isn't xorg an ati thing?
[03:28] <dariens> fsckr: I'll boot again, but I'll have to type it out... :)
[03:28] <fsckr> no no
[03:28] <fsckr> dariens, go to /var/log
[03:28] <ryan> thunder:  I'm not sure how to install the xorg 6.8
[03:28] <Tony_> sebas_, yes, there will be more security risks but a lot less than windows, since ubuntu is initially more secure just in the way it's engineered
[03:28] <fsckr> in there you will see xorg.log
[03:29] <cohete> walkintome: yeah, it's a new card without native linux drivers
[03:29] <fsckr> are you trying to install drivers?  dariens
[03:29] <dariens> fsckr: but how do I paste with a PC /w no OS installed?
[03:29] <sebas_> Doffo, I think that while Ubuntu developers don't try to make things simpler for the windows users, we'll be fine
[03:29] <dariens> fsckr: no, OS
[03:29] <damageDOne> I actually don't have /etc/fstab
[03:29] <fsckr> O
[03:29] <fsckr> :_
[03:29] <|thunder> arejay; what is that app ? the tv one from your panel ?
[03:29] <cohete> walkintome: you're going to have to use ndiswrapper, i'm sure others have already told you this
[03:29] <DarknezzSpace> how do u kill and restart a process from terminal?
[03:29] <damageDOne> Where else could it be
[03:30] <Pelo> errorlevel,  http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/704
[03:30] <arejay> |thunder, ontv -- it uses xmltv data
[03:30] <dariens> fsckr: its not booting iunto normal "start or install" or "start in graphics safe mode"
[03:30] <cohete> unfortunately i've never used it myself so i won't be able to provide much help
[03:30] <Doffo> sebas_ : Yea. Just for the most part it works well now. I just dont want to boot up one day and get owned by a prompt :) :)
[03:30] <kingcobra> after you install using deb file how do you open the app
[03:30] <cohete> all of my wireless cards have had native drivers :)
[03:30] <fsckr> how are you doing about installing drivers?
[03:30] <walkintome> cohete: i dont know if u saw my previous entries, but i have bene trying to get ndiswrapper installed becasue i have the drivers sitting on my desktop, however i keep having to install package after package. what eneds up happening is i need to get packages for dependancies, but they end up already being installed (i have no idea why this happens)
[03:30] <fsckr> what have you done as far as that?
[03:30] <|thunder> cohete; mine too, lucky i guess. pci makes it better
[03:30] <Xenguy> kingcobra: dpkg -L packagename |grep bin
[03:30] <Doffo> sebas_ : If it was an Amiga, where only Startup-sequence mattered, then that isnt a problem to me lol.
[03:30] <ryan> anyone know how to install xorg 6.8 on ubuntu 6.06?   I have an ATI Mobility Radeon 7500
[03:30] <Xenguy> kingcobra: will zero in on the bin file to run
[03:31] <dariens> fsckr: I haven't done anything... yet. do I choose the "install with drivers update cd"?
[03:31] <jemmille> can anyone pm me that has experience with xorg.conf
[03:31] <Pelo> jemmille,  what is your issue ?
[03:31] <errorlevel> Pelo: Well...  I've seen those, but what I'm saying is, Update Manager can't.  When I click the Upgrade button to upgrade to Feisty, I get an error message saying that Update Manager can't download the release notes.
[03:31] <jemmille> my taskbar is "stuck" in the middle of my desktop
[03:31] <fsckr> so dariens you are trying to boot from cd?
[03:31] <Pelo> errorlevel,  ah sorry I missunerstoold
[03:31] <dariens> fsckr: yes, so I can install 7.0.4
[03:32] <Pelo> jemmille, and what makes you think this has anything to do with xorg.conf ?
[03:32] <fsckr> and when you boot into cd are you in console or do you have a desktop?
[03:32] <errorlevel> Pelo: Yeah...  Nobody seems to know about the problem though.  I might just install to a new partition and say screw upgrading.
[03:32] <kingcobra> Xenguy, /usr/bin
[03:32] <kingcobra> /usr/bin/prozgui
[03:32] <Pelo> errorlevel,  you'll have an easier tiime
[03:32] <Xenguy> kingcobra: so you can run it from the command-line to test, and then if it works create a desktop launcher
[03:33] <jemmille> it might not
[03:33] <dariens> fsckr: I have the first menu, it's in a higher res (vesa?) and I'm given my typical boot cd options... but after choosing any one,then it craps out with errors
[03:33] <cohete> walkintome: what packages specifically are already installed?
[03:33] <errorlevel> Pelo: I just don't want to exert all the effort tracking down the files I need for the msttcorefarts and the multi-media stuff that Ubuntu can't package.
[03:33] <cgood> how do I get firefox to save a download to a desktop folder which is a smb://host/share URL?
[03:33] <walkintome> cohete: well apparently everyhting except build-essentials
[03:33] <kingcobra> Xenguy, ok thanks
[03:33] <Pelo> jemmille,  try this,   right click the taskbar and add new ,  move it to the top of your screeen , does that work ?
[03:33] <jemmille> my res is 1280x1020 but the taskbar seems to be stuck in a 800x600 box
[03:33] <fsckr> oh so you are crapping out before you even get into a desktop
[03:33] <dariens> fsckr: yes
[03:34] <cgood> I created the folder with Places->Connect to Server, I can create/delete files from the folder, but firefox us unable to locate the path to save here
[03:34] <cohete> walkintome: and when you try to install build-essentials it fails?
[03:34] <fsckr> what makes you think it's xorg errors?  having an nvidia you should have np ;)
[03:34] <Xenguy> kingcobra: have fun
[03:34] <walkintome> cohete: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17628/
[03:34] <_`XeOn_> i got this output from xorg.conf FATAL: error running install command for nvidia
[03:34] <cgood> does  anyone here have a network?
[03:34] <jemmille> i can move it to the top, but it is still "shrunk"
[03:34] <walkintome> cohete: this is what happens when i try to install ndiswrapper
[03:34] <Pelo> errorlevel,   the multimedia codecs not get installed as needed semi automaticaly,  and you can make a scritp with aptget and all the apps you need to install in one go
[03:34] <dariens> fsckr:... one sec, I've give more info..
[03:34] <walkintome> cohete:  and when io try to install buildessentials i get stuck in a maze of packages that i need to install
[03:34] <sebas_> something cool I heard a couple of days ago: instead of doing "mkdir /home/ab; mkdir /home/ab/cd; mkdir /home/ab/cd/ef", you can do "mkdir -p /home/ab/cd/ef"
[03:35] <Pelo> jemmille,  can you put up a screenshot so I knwo what you are taking about ?
[03:35] <jemmille> yeah, hold on a sec
[03:35] <_`XeOn_> (EE) nvidia(0): failed to load the nvidia kernel module
[03:35] <_`XeOn_> how to fix
[03:35] <_`XeOn_> ?
[03:35] <Pelo> jemmille,  if you are registerd on this network you can dcc it to me
[03:35] <cohete> walkintome: it looks like you didn't run ./configure?
[03:35] <cgood> I can do this with Mandriva, but I have been using ubuntu and prefer it, but if it is not possible to save to  network share, it will be most unuseful to me
[03:36] <walkintome> cohete: ./configure hasnt dont anything. i get an error
[03:36] <kingcobra> Xenguy, ive got in menu now but it doesnt have icon
[03:36] <jemmille> i'm new to irc, i'll give you a web address if that's ok
[03:36] <walkintome> cohete: ive also clean installed feisty twice already with the same result
[03:36] <Pelo> walkintome,  that is normal  read the error and instal the package you need then run ./configure again
[03:36] <cohete> walkintome: you probably won't be able to "make" until you "./configure"
[03:36] <Pelo> jemmille,  that 's ok
[03:36] <ZeroZiat> gonnaeatthat: You there?
[03:37] <Doffo> Thanks for all the Ubuntu community does.  You all make a hell of a difference and keep up the good work. So far everyone I have shown Ubuntu to are impressed.
[03:37] <_`XeOn_> cmon help plz
[03:37] <Pelo> Doffo,  we're jsut helpers here we can't take anycredit
[03:37] <walkintome> cohete:how do i install a apackage that cannot be installed wihtout the dependies...but i apparently already have the dependancies?

[03:38] <_`XeOn_> (EE) nvidia(0): failed to load the nvidia kernel module [how do i fix this??]
[03:38] <walkintome> crimsun: is that antoher package?
[03:38] <jemmille> www.jemmille.com/images/taskbar.png
[03:38] <cohete> walkintome: if you show us the output of ./configure we might be able to help you better
[03:38] <ballmenace> Q: If I get into the "classic" terminal from gnome with ctrl+alt+F1-F5. How do I get back into gnome ?

[03:38] <walkintome> cohete: i badly want to get linux up and running but im almost in tears becasue of my frustration...its getting the better of me
[03:38] <gonnaeatthat> sorry had to put away dishes real fast
[03:38] <ZeroZiat> No worries.

[03:39] <dariens> fsckr: k... so it doesn't boot into desktop, it comes up with "Failed to start the X server.  It is likely that it is not set up correctly. WOuld you  like to view the X server output to diagnose the problem?"
[03:39] <efleming969> join #crux
[03:39] <_`XeOn_> cohete is nvidia-glx-new
[03:39] <walkintome> cohete: ive been trying to get internet (havent been able to do anythign else) for two days already
[03:39] <Pelo> jemmille,  damn that,s a busy desktop

[03:39] <jemmille> Pelo, i like busy
[03:39] <soleblaze> does anyone know of a way to setup an encrypted /tmp partition using crypttab? (having it pull a key from /dev/urandom at boot, and then formating it in ext3)
[03:39] <redt0nia> bbl ty :)
[03:39] <cohete> walkintome: but i can't help you unless i have all the information
[03:39] <fsckr> dariens, and when you press yes to see output?
[03:39] <cgood> would it be considered flooding for each of you just to politely answer that you do not know how ?
[03:39] <parithon> Why do I get the following error when I try to boot off the install cd? Can't open device <pci@f2000000/@d/mac-io@7/ata-4@1f000/disk@0:0>
[03:39] <walkintome> cohete: i will go follow the installation steps and write down the ./configure error
[03:40] <walkintome> cohete: be back soon
[03:40] <redt0nia> i have the 704 cd in my hot lil hands :)
[03:40] <_`XeOn_> cohete but it seems to be the configuration of xorg.conf
[03:40] <Pelo> jemmille,  ok I think I've seen sometinga bout this in the forum  do you have an nvidia video card by anychance ?
[03:40] <jemmille> Pelo, but of course!
[03:40] <inigknot> there anyone that can help someone completely noob ta linux that can help me?
[03:40] <gonnaeatthat> ZeroZiat: you in pm?
[03:40] <cohete> _`XeOn_: have you posted your xorg.conf on a pastbin site?
[03:40] <_`XeOn_> i cant
[03:40] <jemmille> Pelo, i was pretty sure that was the issue
[03:40] <_`XeOn_> im in command ine
[03:40] <Pelo> jemmille, thought so  unfortunately I didn't read the solution because that wasnT, what I was looking for
[03:40] <aMMgYrP> Hello all, I've got an issue with Fiesty Server 64 detecting my hardware SATA RAID5 (2x80gb+1x160gb). During install it still treats the drives as individual drives any ideas?
[03:40] <ZeroZiat> gonnaeatthat: Yeah.
[03:41] <dariens> fsckr: it contians basic log info... but it gets upset about (WW) VESA: no matching device section for instance (BUS ID PCI:2:0:0:0) found (EE) VESA(0): cannot read v_bios (EE) screens found, but none have a usable configuration.
[03:41] <cohete> _`XeOn_: save your current xorg.conf, replace it with the backup, and then restart
[03:41] <jemmille> Pelo, this card is giving me all kinds of trouble, GeForce FX 5700 Ultra if that helps
[03:41] <cohete> _`XeOn_: i.e. return to the previous configuration so we can find out what your current configuration is
[03:42] <cohete> _`XeOn_: let me know if you need specific command help
[03:42] <_`XeOn_> cohete how do i backup?
[03:42] <jemmille> Pelo, the newest NVIDIA drivers "work" but you see the result
[03:42] <Pelo> jemmille,   in  gnome the taskbars are called gnome-panel,   I'm searching the forum for a thread,  I sugeest you do the same
[03:42] <jeff2> how can I disable the screensaver completely? it activates when I close my laptop lid, even though I have "Activate screensaver when computer is idle" unchecked in System -> Preferences -> Screensaver
[03:42] <jemmille> Pelo if I use 800x600 everything looks fine, just HUGE
[03:42] <fsckr> it seems to me that its not finding your vid card
[03:42] <cohete> _`XeOn_: hold on a sec
[03:42] <|thunder> Who was it that told me about ontv ?
[03:43] <dariens> hm.... (it's a brand new PC... MSI board)
[03:43] <fsckr> have you installed anything else on it?
[03:43] <fsckr> do you have another vid card by any chance? to rule out bad card
[03:44] <aMMgYrP> ... it also detects them as SCSI drives...
[03:44] <Pelo> jemmille, there was someting about disabling twinview that might help but I can'T find it atm ,  it was a line to add in xorg.conf
[03:44] <morphius_> I followed this tutorial to set up vnc with resumable sessions: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=259448. Now I get the following error in my syslog when I try to connect:
[03:44] <cohete> _`XeOn_: at the command line, enter "ls /etc/X11/"
[03:44] <morphius_>  warning: can't get client address: Transport endpoint is not connected
[03:44] <cohete> _`XeOn_: there should be a file like xorg.conf_backup
[03:44] <morphius_>  Internal error: memory corruption detected
[03:44] <_`XeOn_> ok
[03:44] <morphius_>  Abnormal termination of greeter for display don.local:1, code 1, signal 0
[03:44] <cgood> surely someone here has used ubuntu and firefox to save a download to a network smb share? I'm not finding any menu selections that assist in configuring this, should I abandone gnome and use KDE? smb4k works fine
[03:44] <cohete> _`XeOn_: let me know what that file is and i can walk you through from there if you need it
[03:45] <_`XeOn_> ok
[03:45] <_`XeOn_> brb
[03:45] <jemmille> Pelo, i think i might be able to fix it, my main display is listed but then there is another CRT1 at 800x600
[03:45] <d_ariens> fsckr: (sorry, got booted) so, what do you recommend?
[03:45] <Thuggernaut> yo ubuntu peeps
[03:46] <Thuggernaut> are the feisty repositories down for you all?
[03:46] <cgood> possibly no one here uses gnome, this explains why I cannot seem to explain my issue in a manner that is understood
[03:46] <jemmille> Pelo but shit, now i'm using the nv driver 'cause of all the problems with the NVIDIA
[03:46] <fsckr> d_ariens, do you by any chance have another vid card to rule out a bad card?
[03:46] <fsckr> have you installed anything else on there using that same card?
[03:46] <d_ariens> I have an onboard card
[03:46] <d_ariens> just windows XP /w drivers that came with the card
[03:47] <Pelo> jemmille,   see the solution on this thread it might apply to yourproblem as well   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20/+bug/108775

[03:48] <fsckr> < dad duties
[03:48] <jemmille> Pelo, get back with you, I'm reading it
[03:49] <d_ariens> fsckr: thanks
[03:49] <cgood> jemmille: upgrade to 7.04 and use the System-> Administration-> Restricted Drivers

[03:50] <walkintome> cohete: sourceforge
[03:51] <cohete> walkintome: i only see ndiswrapper-1.42....

[03:51] <Frogzoo> cgood: samba is so well established in the foss world, you probly haven't heard of foss either
[03:51] <usser> weee
[03:51] <walkintome> cohete: i tried this using 1.8 and 1.42
[03:51] <SurfnKid> oops
[03:51] <walkintome> cohete: someone told me 1.8 was a better release, but i used 1.42 becasue ti was newer
[03:52] <jemmille> Pelo, adding the "TwinView" option fixed it
[03:52] <jemmille> Pelo, thanks
[03:52] <Pelo> jemmille,   great ,
[03:52] <jemmille> Pelo, now i can work on cleaning up the desktop :-)

[03:52] <cgood> Frogzoo: thanks.. I just needed to know if my typing was leaving my network you are the 1st response to about 30 questions, killermach would never ignore someone for so long, maybe he'll show up and help soon
[03:53] <Pelo> jemmille,   throw out the monitor and get a new one , it's easier
[03:53] <usser> bah lost a desktop hows that?
[03:53] <cohete> walkintome: i dunno about that, it's two years old
[03:53] <keenen> hey
[03:53] <jemmille> Pelo I'm broke!
[03:53] <cohete> walkintome: of course i'm no expert on ndiswrapper
[03:53] <GMWeezel> I can play MPEG1 video files but for some reason, a thumbnail is not generated for them.
[03:53] <Pelo> Vulcan40,  it happens often,  what were you doing before you lost it ?
[03:53] <jemmille> Pelo and it's a nice monitor, just small
[03:53] <walkintome> cohete: does that means theres a newer version of ndiswrapper that may wokr?
[03:53] <usser> damn it it seems all problems are solving like "hey your hardware sucks buy new card/monitor/etc"
[03:53] <Vulcan40> I don't know but it has happend twice once with 6.10 and now with 7.4
[03:54] <bruenig> s/\.4/\.04/
[03:54] <Pelo> Vulcan40,  so you are in terminal mode right now ?
[03:54] <Frogzoo> cgood: oh noes, I've been trolled :)
[03:54] <cohete> walkintome: apparently 1.42 is the newer version
[03:54] <Vulcan40> no not now
[03:54] <cohete> walkintome: but let's try to fix this config error
[03:54] <walkintome> cohete: i hate to give up, but linux might not be for me just yet
[03:54] <Vulcan40> I just booted up
[03:54] <Pelo> Vulcan40,  you have your desktop working ?  try looking in the forum for a solution then
[03:54] <hurt> whats linux?
[03:54] <hurt> !linux
[03:54] <ubotu> Linux is the kernel (core) of the Ubuntu operating system. Many operating systems use Linux as kernel. For more information on Linux in general, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux
[03:55] <cohete> walkintome: :-(
[03:55] <llol> this Ubuntu release sure is creeping up on windows
[03:55] <llol> :0)
[03:55] <cohete> walkintome: i'm happy to help you try to get this to work if you want to stick with it, but its up to you
[03:55] <Doffo> walkintome : I just kept linux on a lan card until its easier on wireless :)
[03:55] <Pelo> hurt,  linux is heaven and windows is purgatory
[03:55] <Vulcan40> I got it back when I went into windows and then back to Ubuntu
[03:55] <Doffo> loll: agreed ;)
[03:55] <aMMgYrP> any help here would be greatly appreciated...
[03:55] <walkintome> cohete: i have no way of using anyhting but wireless for my internet
[03:55] <bruenig> ubuntu is getting a bit bloated
[03:55] <walkintome> cohete: and i know once my internet is setup it will be a lot easier
[03:55] <theturtlemoves> 4-18, 4-19
[03:55] <usser> bruenig: u said it

[03:56] <theturtlemoves> oops, sorry, wrong window
[03:56] <cgood> Frogzoo: no. I meant no harm :) just cannot seem to figure out or google up an answer to something that seems that more than 1/2 the people here would already be doing
[03:56] <cohete> walkintome: okay do you currently have 1.42 on that machine or only 1.8?
[03:56] <adamowitz> This is not a codec issue, but it affects every single movie file I play with vlc, totem, mplayer (all I've tried thus far) on my MBP running feisty.  We're talking large and small movies, .mov, .qt, .mpg, .avi, you name it... everything.  Everything at http://www.blender.org/features-gallery/movies/
[03:56] <meatwad_> can some one help someone who's completely noob with linux please?
[03:56] <adamowitz> What's going on here?
[03:56] <walkintome> cohete: i just need some food before we were to start...i would realyl apprecaite the help

[03:57] <adamowitz> video distortion.
[03:57] <cohete> walkintome: that would be great
[03:57] <GMWeezel> I have the codecs to play MPEG1 video and it plays fine however, no thumbnail is generated for my MPEG1 videos. How can I fix this?
[03:57] <cgood> I can install kubuntu and use smb4k it's just odd that there would be no way in gnome to save to a smb share from firefox
[03:57] <xray15> Who uses Xchat?
[03:57] <walkintome> cohete: my sn is the same as on here except the o in into is a zero

[04:00] <Vulcan40> I have to say that after fighting with Ubuntu for a couple of weeks now that I love it and am starting to hate windows
[04:00] <walkintome> cohete: time for eats. hope to talk to you soon
[04:00] <SDFH> wow is all i got to say about the latest ubuntu
[04:00] <llol> yup
[04:00] <rainwalker> Vulcan40: all the cool people use it  :P
[04:00] <usser> Vulcan40: it rocks man =)
[04:00] <llol> same here
[04:00] <chump> Vulcan40: LOL
[04:00] <SDFH> i have not used ubuntu for a bit
[04:00] <walkintome> I WANT LINUX TO WORK TOO
[04:00] <SDFH> and i amazed how far it has come
[04:00] <bruenig> SDFH, yeah me too, wow, why would they go backwards
[04:00] <meatwad_> well my main question is,, how the ta install stuff? (gpu drivers, java, flash etc, necessary programs) im new to the whole terminal thing,, used to DOS :-\
[04:00] <llol> Ubuntu is beginning to have a better grip on Microsofts NECK
[04:00] <SDFH> so proud to be part of the linux
[04:00] <SDFH> crowd since 96
[04:01] <Vulcan40> I wish I could spin the cube but as of yet have not got it working
[04:01] <xray15> Me like 3d cube thingy ^_^
[04:01] <SDFH> amazing the progress with ubuntu
[04:01] <llol> pretty easy setup folks
[04:01] <usser> meatwad_: sudo apt-get install whatever  =)
[04:01] <meatwad_> lol i do know how to spin my cube desktop thing tho :-P
[04:01] <llol> just depends on ur video card being install
[04:01] <rainwalker> meatwad_: Most stuff will either be in Synaptic (the package manager), a .deb file, or a .tar/tar.gz archive
[04:01] <llol> im on BERYl
[04:02] <usser> meatwad_: but u can use synaptic or adept manager
[04:02] <xray15> what happins if i type in "sudo apt-get install virus"
[04:02] <bruenig> rainwalker, seeing as debs are built from the tar.gz, I would say everything can be found in them
[04:02] <Vulcan40> why does it depend on the video card if you are not using those drivers
[04:02] <xray15> what happins if i type in "sudo apt-get install virus"
[04:02] <joe7d6> hi all. i have searched everywhere but couldn't find anything so i ask here. I rarely used firefox but the 'keyboard cant type' issue with flash is really annoying. I have to off/on focus with mouse clicks in order for firefox to accept inputs from keyboard. so what's the problem? :-|
[04:02] <meatwad_> kk, so dl the "program to be installed" and go into tha terminal and type "sudo apt-get" "name of dl'd file"??
[04:02] <bruenig> !info virus
[04:02] <ubotu> Package virus does not exist in feisty
[04:02] <usser>  Couldn't find package virus
[04:02] <xray15> lol
[04:02] <bruenig> xray15, you get, package does not exist
[04:02] <usser> damn it
[04:02] <rainwalker> brueing: true, I hadn't thought of that
[04:03] <hurt> init 1
[04:03] <llol> the proper drivers work better
[04:03] <cgood> Frogzoo: do you have any smb mounts? do you have to do it in the fstab or with a script? is there a gnome GUI?
[04:03] <llol> compared the system ones
[04:03] <bruenig> unless of course the sites go down, like vcdimager
[04:03] <xray15> Ubuntu looks like mac if you set it up right
[04:03] <Frogzoo> cgood: smb4k works for me..
[04:03] <llol> ehh
[04:03] <bruenig> anyone know where I can get vcdimager source
[04:03] <llol> MAcs are like the metrosexuals tool of preference
[04:03] <llol> :-D
[04:03] <llol> lol
[04:04] <chump> meatwad_: synaptic pakage manager can install package for u
[04:04] <meatwad_> sooo,, how would i got about installing gpu drivers for an nvidia 6800gs?

[04:04] <llol> 64bit?
[04:04] <llol> or 32
[04:04] <meatwad_> 64bit version installed,, amd 3700+
[04:04] <bruenig> !enter
[04:04] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[04:04] <parithon> Why do I get the following error when I try to boot off the install cd? Can't open device <pci@f2000000/@d/mac-io@7/ata-4@1f000/disk@0:0>
[04:04] <bruenig> 64 bit, never fun
[04:05] <newGuy> How do I install wine on ubuntu? I can't seem to find the right package with adept manager.
[04:05] <hd420> feisty fawn is br0ken at present
[04:05] <eck> newGuy: i believe the package name is just wine
[04:05] <Vulcan40> I read on a page somewhere that my ATI 1300 was not compatible with Beryl is there any truth to that?
[04:05] <newGuy> (all I find is libwine which is some sort of dummy package)
[04:05] <newGuy> It isn't showing up in the list.
[04:05] <llol> k cool  u know how how have administrative capabities to move files around?
[04:05] <meatwad_> lol,, well should i install tha 32 bit version?
[04:05] <llol> no
[04:05] <usser> newGuy: do u have amd64 cpu?
[04:05] <newGuy> yes
[04:05] <rainwalker> newGuy: http://www.winehq.com/site/download-deb
[04:05] <bruenig> MetaBot, you should
[04:05] <bruenig> meatwad_, ^
[04:05] <llol> meat wad
[04:06] <usser> newGuy: then u have to install linux32 package and download 32 bit version of wine
[04:06] <llol> no diff if its amd 64 bit
[04:06] <llol> or p4
[04:06] <llol> same thing
[04:06] <Mercury> Grrr, how lovely.  GnomeBaker fails hard on filenames/directory names with = in the filename/directory name.
[04:06] <Vulcan40> 64 is not ready for primetime
[04:06] <d_ariens> hey guys... I was trying to run feisty fawn's install on an AMD Athlon 64 using the x86 architecture ISO... i was getting xorg errors complaining that it couldnt find my PCI express nvidia GeForce 7600.... would that be why?  <blushes>
[04:07] <xray15> I wish windows vista goes dead :P
[04:07] <Vulcan40> tried it but a lot of apps are not 64
[04:07] <usser> newGuy: get wine from here
[04:07] <Vulcan40> went back to 32
[04:07] <usser> newGuy: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/pool/main/w/wine/wine_0.9.35~winehq0~ubuntu~7.04-1_i386.deb
[04:07] <llol> you there meatwad_?
[04:07] <xray15> If vista dies then unbuntu can get to the top ^_^
[04:07] <llol> ur right about that
[04:07] <hurt> vista wont die
[04:07] <usser> newGuy: then after u installed linux32 packages navigate to where u downloaded wine
[04:07] <xray15> My school admin hates vista :P
[04:07] <m1r_> my lampp install got broken
[04:07] <llol> Vista ended up being like the little perk that was Me
[04:07] <xray15> and sosme teachers
[04:07] <Vulcan40> If enough people get fed up with gates then Ubuntu will rule
[04:08] <llol> over win98
[04:08] <chump> xray15: i hope that vista will stay alive .. i'm studiing in network management and i need job for later lol
[04:08] <hurt> thing is
[04:08] <meatwad_> yeah im here llol,, havent used irc in years,, there like a wisper cmd/option?
[04:08] <hurt> microsft makes people upgrade
[04:08] <hurt> so vista will be around
[04:08] <Fylk> Hey guys, any reason VLC should crash when I using compiz?
[04:08] <llol> ME got helped by Windows 2000 were as the vista is a perk up on winxp

[04:10] <GionnyBoss> tiger: gaim is good, but if you want good webcam support, use amsn
[04:10] <tiger> Gaim just turns off as soon as it loads.

[04:10] <Khaaaan> dammit... I never know how many a's I used last time I connected :-/
[04:10] <usser> rainwalker: that means your window manager isnt running/broken
[04:10] <GionnyBoss> tiger: http://www.justfuckinggoogleit.com/?q=amsn
[04:10] <litage> are the Ubuntu install CDs are also live CDs?
[04:10] <rainwalker> Fylk: funny, Beryl works perfectly for me haha
[04:11] <Vulcan40> is there an apt that mimicks media player because a lot of video sites use Mediaplayer
[04:11] <Fylk> Fun.
[04:11] <rainwalker> usser, what should I do? I'm talking on the forums about it right now too
[04:11] <usser> Vulcan40: mplayer-plugin
[04:11] <llol> i got ubuntu 7.04 running on RAiD0
[04:11] <craigbass1976> Is it possible to set up sendmail or postfix without setting up dns?  Can people still check it with email clients (thunderbird and such) using ip addresses in the server settings rather than hostnames (<IP_ADDRESS> rather than pop.mailtest.com)
[04:11] <Vulcan40> that will work eh
[04:11] <chump> tiger: got it ?
[04:11] <usser> Vulcan40: just search for mplayer there supposed to be mozilla-mplayer-plugin something
[04:11] <imbecile> what program changes shutdown screens?
[04:11] <usser> Vulcan40: dont remember the nam,e
[04:12] <bruenig> usser, it is mozilla-mplayer
[04:12] <usser> bruenig: yea =)
[04:12] <GionnyBoss> tiger: or you can install amsn directly from the repositories
[04:12] <usser> there we go
[04:12] <usser> rainwalker: i have no idea, i've never used all that fancies
[04:12] <tiger> I have Ubuntu 5.10
[04:12] <gat0rvean> what is a good IRC chat client that allows multiple server connections for Ubuntu? I'm using irssi right now...
[04:12] <usser> =)
[04:12] <GionnyBoss> tiger: try opening a terminal and write "sudo apt-get install amsn"
[04:12] <tiger> I had the old cd..
[04:12] <tiger> The new one won't work for me.
[04:12] <tiger> So I installed 5.10
[04:12] <tiger> -.-
[04:13] <kymc1985> Hey all. Just wondering something about the Ubuntu I got. Version 7.04 just downlaoded. Installed on my Inspiron 1501 laptop (Dell). Can't get wireless. The WiFi light will not come on. Tried the FN+F2 to enable, and nothing. Any ideas?
[04:13] <tiger> Hey guys
[04:13] <GionnyBoss> tiger: I don't know if 5.10 is supported yet... I guess that there will not be more updates for it. You should install a new version
[04:13] <tiger> I downloaded the Amsn
[04:13] <eck> gat0rvean: irssi allows multiple server connections...
[04:13] <bruenig> tiger, 5.10 is no longer supported
[04:13] <tiger> I need help installing the new version
[04:13] <llol> KYMC1985 make sure the wireless card is supported properly
[04:13] <llol> if not ull need NDswrapper
[04:14] <usser> \me
[04:14] <usser> dang
[04:14] <gat0rvean> eck, I know, but I'm not a big fan of the command line and all, I just came over from Windows and I'm looking for something on par (noob style) with mIRC
[04:14] <eck> gat0rvean: try xchat or xchat-gnome
[04:14] <usser> gat0rvean: did u try konversation?
[04:15] <rainwalker> usser, you used the wrong slash, it's supposed to be a forward one
[04:15] <gat0rvean> usser, I have not, can you use konversation on a gde desktop?
[04:15] <usser> awww there we go
[04:15] <usser> gat0rvean: sure
[04:15] <J^son> I need some help. I have 2 computers networked through a router; one with ubuntu and the other windows XP... My printer is connected to the ubuntu box and I have not been able to make it possible for the windows computer to print to that printer... I followed the instructions in the Ubuntu documentation... and Windows does "see" the printer but can,t access it... any ideas?
[04:16] <gat0rvean> usser, ok, I'll check it out
[04:16] <gat0rvean> eck, I'll try xchat as well
[04:16] <gat0rvean> ty both
[04:16] <usser> gat0rvean: when u install it its gonna pull some packages along with it, 50-100 megs of kde libs i think
[04:16] <newGuy> J^son: install ubuntu on the windows box.
[04:16] <newGuy> J^son: sorry, couldn't resist.
[04:16] <J^son> lol
[04:16] <craigbass1976> newGuy, I needed that... Long day
[04:16] <gat0rvean> usser, will they be pulled by default through synaptic, or do I need to specify?
[04:17] <parithon> thanks for no help... bye
[04:17] <newGuy> J^son: Hey, he said any ideas, he didn't say useful ones.
[04:17] <ShortWave> yo
[04:17] <usser> gat0rvean: yep default synaptic will do all the dirty work
[04:17] <ShortWave> is there a liveCD available for ubuntu?
[04:17] <newGuy> ShortWave: Yes
[04:17] <gat0rvean> usser, gotcha, thanks
[04:17] <usser> ShortWave: liveDVD
[04:17] <imbecile> what program changes shutdown screens?
[04:17] <J^son> newGuy: you do have a point
[04:17] <craigbass1976> J^son, are there any other samba shares that you CAN access from windows?
[04:17] <ShortWave> Ah
[04:17] <usser> ShortWave: oh and liveCD to
[04:17] <ShortWave> I have no DVD recorder
[04:17] <ubuntu> Sticky wicket alert:  I have multiple drives with multiple volumes on this computer.  When I install Ubuntu, it fails to recognize the existence of my BeOS volumes and zaps their boot manager.  If I install BeOS back in, it recognizes that there's a Linux volume and adds it to its boot menu, but there is no boot signature left for me to boot into Linux with.   I managed to still boot to...
[04:17] <ubuntu> ...Ubuntu using the CD, and can see the Linux drive volume...is there a way to restore Linux volume's boot signature?
[04:17] <newGuy> ShortWave: LiveCD too
[04:17] <usser> ShortWave: the regular cd is the live cd
[04:17] <ShortWave> usser: Where that be?
[04:18] <J^son> craigbass1976: I set up samba to enable file sharing
[04:18] <walkintome> cohete: im ready when you are
[04:18] <cohete> walkintome: walkint0me?
[04:18] <walkintome> yup
[04:18] <usser> ShortWave: well i386 is here
[04:18] <usser> http://ubuntu.csie.nctu.edu.tw/ubuntu-releases/feisty/ubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386.iso
[04:18] <craigbass1976> J^son, and you can access some files on Ubuntu box from windows?
[04:18] <SDFH> i remember using beos
[04:18] <cohete> walkintome: you aren't logged in?
[04:18] <craigbass1976> J^son, read and write?
[04:18] <usser> ShortWave: its the install cd too
[04:19] <walkintome> cohete: i am logged in
[04:19] <J^son> craigbass1976: let me try
[04:19] <newGuy> J^son: In my C++ class the professor last week asked what software integration is, and I said it's the art of getting one program to give another program useful information on what to do, and getting the second program to ignore the information and produce an error message. Right now you're discovering why I'm right and my professor is wrong.
[04:19] <tiger> Guys
[04:20] <ubuntu> Shorthand version of my question above...  How can I restore the boot signature of a drive, now that I've booted into Linux using the LiveCD?
[04:20] <tiger> I downloaded the new version
[04:20] <tiger> and burned it on CD
[04:20] <tatters> I got 1GB of ram and currently using 980MB is this normal s linux caching ram?
[04:20] <tiger> Now it doesn't work though..
[04:20] <J^son> newGuy: thanks
[04:20] <ShortWave> usser: So the install CD is a liveCD as well?
[04:20] <newGuy> ShortWave: Yes.
[04:20] <hidan> eh, i deleted my corrupted user profile folder: Lucifiel from "/home/user". However I can't find the deleted folder in "Trash". Any idea where it went to?
[04:20] <usser> ShortWave: yep
[04:20] <walkintome> cohete: can you find me...i am logged in under gaim on my aol screen name
[04:20] <J^son> craigbass1976: no.. I can't access files on the Ubuntu box...
[04:20] <ShortWave> usser: nifty
[04:21] <usser> ShortWave: indeed =)
[04:21] <ShortWave> newGuy: thanks
[04:21] <anonymeeee> i have a db9 connector hooked up to com1 and I'm trying to access my cisco router....
[04:21] <J^son> craigbass1976: the ubuntu box can access windows, though
[04:21] <newGuy> ShortWave: NP
[04:21] <craigbass1976> J^son, cool, so it's probably a general samba issue rather than the printer
[04:21] <ShortWave> Since I burned a CD, I hate wasting media
[04:21] <anonymeeee> anyone know how to make terminal talk to the com port?
[04:21] <meatwad_> so how would one go about installing nvidia drivers?
[04:21] <ShortWave> heh
[04:21] <calvin> I love u guys
[04:21] <ShortWave> back in a bit
[04:21] <usser> calvin: we love u too
[04:21] <tatters> Does linux try to keep physical Ram full for caching purpose or does it try to emty physical Ram?
[04:21] <cohete> meatwad_: using feisty?
[04:22] <craigbass1976> J^son, doesn't matter if ubuntu can see windows; in that sitation windows is the server and you need ubuntu to be the server.
[04:22] <eck> tatters: keeps it full
[04:22] <newGuy> anonymeeee: I suggest explaining to it that the com port didn't mean to hurt it's feelings and to give it a second chance because it still loves the terminal very much. Then maybe they'll start talking again.
[04:22] <chump> anonymeeee: i think they use hyper-terminal on windows ..
[04:22] <deliverance> Hey need some help...
[04:22] <cohete> meatwad_: system->administration->restricted drivers under feisty
[04:22] <boni> exit
[04:22] <deliverance> I have a travelmate.
[04:22] <anonymeeee> chump: is there some equivalent program on ubuntu?
[04:23] <eck> tatters: if you look at the output of free -m you will see that there is almost no "free" ram and lots of cache
[04:23] <deliverance> No sound since I got feisty?
[04:23] <chump> anonymeeee: i have no idea
[04:23] <anonymeeee> very funny newguy8-)
[04:23] <chump> anonymeeee: but i'll try to google it ;P
[04:23] <J^son> craigbass1976:  what do I do with samba now?
[04:23] <ruckerz> udev hook script can't generate initramfs when upgrading to fiesty,  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17717/ , is it safe to reboot?
[04:23] <cohete> walkintome: what's going on?
[04:23] <walkintome> i dont know
[04:23] <Pelo> anonymeeee,  what prog do you need an linux version of ?
[04:24] <craigbass1976> J^son, post your /etc/samba/smb.conf somewhere so I can see it
[04:24] <DVS01> is there a net install option for ubuntu?
[04:24] <walkintome> cohete: want to give me your name and see if i can message you
[04:24] <chump> anonymeeee: minicom
[04:24] <cohete> walkintome: i did
[04:24] <cohete> walkintome: johnswilmes
[04:24] <bruenig> !installing | DVS01 there is, mini.iso

[04:24] <jlulian38> Mac: "Think Different" M$: "Think Expensive" Linux: "Think...Hard"
[04:24] <J^son> craigbass1976:  where can I post it for you?
[04:25] <Dane_> Is there a way to "fix" a bad boot signature on a Linux volume?  I can see it when I boot from the LiveCD, but don't know how to fix the boot sig.
[04:25] <bruenig> Xubuntu: Artifacts are cool, it is like dynamic wallpaper with lines that shoot everywhere
[04:25] <craigbass1976> J^son, rafb.net? There's an ubuntu pastebin somwhere too
[04:25] <imbecile> what program changes shutdown screens?
[04:25] <J^son> craigbass1976: ok
[04:26] <vecina> I just installed feisty! How do i make it automount stuff? My external HD and jumpdrives arent popping up
[04:26] <newGuy> Okay I "think" I set up wine now.... now what?
[04:26] <usser> newGuy: try it
[04:26] <usser> newGuy: run wine --version
[04:26] <newGuy> try what?
[04:26] <usser> newGuy: if it shows you output
[04:27] <usser> newGuy: run winecfg
[04:27] <tatters> -/+ buffers/cache:       used: 241     Free   768 <--- so that ooutput means I am using 241 mb of physical memory?
[04:27] <eck> tatters: yes
[04:27] <newGuy> It says /usr/bin/wine: not found
[04:27] <admin__> How do I get Java (JRE) installed on my computer so that Firefox2 can see the plugin?
[04:27] <tatters>  kthnx
[04:27] <usser> newGuy: ok
[04:27] <Episcopus> i have my power management settings set to never put my computer to sleep, but it shuts off anyway when i leave it for around a half hour or 40 minutes.  What else do i have to change so that i don't have to restart my computer everytime i come back to it?
[04:27] <admin__> How do I get Java (JRE) installed on my computer so that Firefox2 can see the plugin?
[04:28] <usser> newGuy: hm what did dpkg --force all -i wine.deb told u???
[04:28] <J^son> craigbass1976: posted on rafb.net
[04:28] <newGuy> got a pastebin?
[04:28] <ScreaminIke> when i turn on beryl, it somehow reads my "super" (windows?) key as depressed. which messes up, basically, my whole interaction with the interface. now... this might be a problem with something else... it est... it might be locked in using gdm, i just don't notice it because it's functionally impotent in GDM. regardless... i need some help troubleshooting.
[04:28] <admin__> How do I get Java (JRE) installed on my computer so that Firefox2 can see the plugin?
[04:28] <imbecile> what program changes shutdown screens? HELP!!!!! please I have asked a bunch of times
[04:28] <craigbass1976> J^son, I need the link
[04:28] <anonymeeee> chump, does that come with ubutu?
[04:28] <eck> imbecile: which shutdown screen? the usplash one?
[04:28] <admin__> How do I get Java (JRE) installed on my computer so that Firefox2 can see the plugin?
[04:28] <usser> heh depressed key?
[04:28] <Pelo> admin__,   synaptic   instsll sun-java-6 pluggin or something
[04:28] <usser> bahaha
[04:28] <craigbass1976> anonymeeee, no, I think chump is a windows app :)
[04:28] <J^son> craigbass1976: http://rafb.net/p/inNJfP60.html
[04:28] <aMMgYrP> Hello, can anyone help me with an installation problem?
[04:29] <chump> anonymeeee: you can install it with :: sudo apt-get install minicom
[04:29] <tatters> I think Vista also takes this approach now whereas xp and previous tried to free the memory rather than cache
[04:29] <admin__> the synatpic doesn't work with Firefox2
[04:29] <ScreaminIke> what is minicom?
[04:29] <GaiaX11> !java | admin__
[04:29] <newGuy> usser: This is what it gave me:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17719/
[04:29] <ubotu> admin__: 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
[04:29] <eck> tatters: no, windows xp caches it too, it just isnt' apparent from the system monitor or whatever windows uses
[04:29] <chump> Hyper-terminal for linux
[04:29] <ScreaminIke> gotcha.
[04:29] <eck> tatters: a lot of applications would be totally killed performance wise if there was no caching of files by the kernel
[04:29] <jordo23> Does anyone know any howto or links to setting up wordpress on Ubuntu?
[04:30] <chump> to connect trough ttys port to a cisco router
[04:30] <imbecile> eck,  no the one with the bar
[04:30] <eck> imbecile: the one when you boot up also, right?
[04:30] <usser> newGuy: hm what version of ubuntu u have, looks like 6.10??
[04:30] <anonymeeee> chump: E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[04:30] <imbecile> eck,  yep
[04:30] <newGuy> Edgy
[04:30] <eck> imbecile: that is usplash
[04:30] <usser> newGuy: oh im sorry
[04:30] <admin__> any other advice that didn't seem to work
[04:30] <usser> newGuy: dang it
[04:30] <chump> anonymeeee: http://useopensource.blogspot.com/2007/01/using-cisco-console-in-linux.html
[04:31] <usser> newGuy: the link i gave u was for feisty
[04:31] <stellaras> hi there
[04:31] <usser> newGuy: sorry again
[04:31] <usser> newGuy: deinstall it
[04:31] <razor__> I love you all, ubuntu developers o_o
[04:31] <newGuy> Okay so how do I do that?
[04:31] <stellaras> anyone tried CrossOver Linux Professional,is it worth ?
[04:31] <tatters> eck: Vissta builds a pprofile of habits and caches accordingly unlike previous,,does linux also cache  smart?
[04:31] <razor__> Linux has made my computer happy :D
[04:31] <usser> newGuy: sudo dpkg -r wine
[04:31] <admin__> I still have the problem
[04:31] <newGuy> done
[04:31] <chump> linux make my computer stressless !
[04:32] <newGuy> now what?
[04:32] <eck> tatters: no, the linux cache is a simple file cache. linux can also do prefetching (which is similar) but i'm not totally sure how that works, and it requires a user-space component
[04:32] <imbecile> eck,  not those screens.. I have uspalsh already.. the other one with the progress bar
[04:32] <usser> newGuy: good download this version of wine
[04:32] <craigbass1976> J^son, I'm curious what would happen if you changed line 94.  See what happens when you change it to security = share
[04:32] <usser> newGuy: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/pool/main/w/wine/wine_0.9.35~winehq0~ubuntu~6.10-3_i386.deb

[04:32] <eck> imbecile: usplash does have a progress bar
[04:32] <anonymeeee> chump: I had my updater going on...now it's installing
[04:32] <razor__> hehe
[04:32] <admin__> I still have the problem
[04:32] <tiger> Guys
[04:32] <eck> imbecile: usplash is what you see between when grub loads and you get to the gdm/kdm login screen
[04:33] <tiger> I downloaded Ubunutu the latest one
[04:33] <tiger> Now how do I burn it properly?
[04:33] <ScreaminIke> usser, i got excited reading that URL. then i realized... it was not about tasty beverage, but, rather, an API implementation
[04:33] <megafauna> tiger: r u in ubuntu now?
[04:33] <Tony_> tiger, got nero?
[04:33] <admin__> can you either help me or tell me where else to go?
[04:33] <craigbass1976> J^son, then you'd have to restart samba (maybe /etc/init.d/samba restart?)
[04:33] <tiger> I am in Ubunu
[04:33] <ScreaminIke> tiger, what os are you in?
[04:33] <usser> ScreaminIke: hehe =)
[04:33] <wastrel> !burn | tiger

[04:33] <rainwalker> I have such ignorant friends: "did u buy the opreating system and if u did what is it called"
[04:33] <GaiaX11> tiger: feisty?
[04:33] <tatters> double click iso with k3b and burn baby burn :)
[04:33] <J^son> craigbass1976: I'll give it a try
[04:33] <Tony_> tiger, k3b, burn image
[04:34] <ZaZ213> i get the error Failed to fetch file:/usr/pluto/deb-cache/./Packages.gz File not found when upgrading to 7.04 how can i fix this?
[04:34] <tiger> Do I just put all the files into the CD?
[04:34] <megafauna> if the file is on your desktop (or whatever directory it is in), navigate to it and right-click on it. Select make cd or something like that
[04:34] <Tony_> tiger, or gnomebaker
[04:34] <krazycure> Hey hey who wants to help a newb get vmware player working after screwing it up wayyy too many times
[04:34] <ScreaminIke> ... that's pretty random, rainwalker. i have no idea what your talking about.
[04:34] <tiger> Do I just put all the files into the cd?
[04:34] <megafauna> tiger: if the file is on your desktop (or whatever directory it is in), navigate to it and right-click on it. Select make cd or something like that
[04:34] <ScreaminIke> tiger. when you right click it, there is an option to burn it.
[04:34] <vecina> Why isnt feisty mounting anything but my cd?
[04:34] <GaiaX11> tiger: do you have the .iso there?
[04:34] <usser> ahhh vmware
[04:34] <newGuy> usser: Why do you help people so much? Is it your job or just for fun?
[04:34] <megafauna> tiger: it is an iso, i asume
[04:34] <eck> tatters: if you are interested the linux prefetch mechanism is called readahead
[04:34] <ScreaminIke> when i turn on beryl, it somehow reads my "super" (windows?) key as depressed. which messes up, basically, my whole interaction with the interface. now... this might be a problem with something else... it est... it might be locked in using gdm, i just don't notice it because it's functionally impotent in GDM. regardless... i need some help troubleshooting.
[04:35] <tiger> Wait I have the file on my windows
[04:35] <megafauna> newGuy: I HAVE NO LIFE! I AM EVEN UNEMPLOYED!
