[12:48] <ignignokt00> ah
[12:48] <ReK_> this is what im trying to fix
[12:48] <ReK_> need kernel source to compile madwifi
[12:48] <Zaibot> Amaranth: "Ethernet controller: athros communications inc. ar5212802.11abg NIC"
[12:49] <tapas> Zaibot: i'm not amarant, but thanks
[12:49] <alberto> hi
[12:49] <tapas> Zaibot: that looks like a cable ethernet controller though
[12:49] <ReK_> Zaibot: madwifi.org
[12:49] <tapas> Zaibot: not like wireles
[12:49] <ReK_> it says 802.11abg ...
[12:49] <alberto> can I upgrade to gutsy changing sources and apt-get dist-ugrade ?
[12:49] <Zaibot> 802.11abg should be our wireless
[12:49] <tapas> oh right
[12:49] <ReK_> lol
[12:50] <alberto> can I?
[12:50] <Zaibot> so it does exist, but for some reason ubuntu doesn't accept it or something
[12:50] <ReK_> Zaibot: madwifi
[12:50] <xor11u> Hi, I have question about "HP Scanjet 3800 Scanner" support on linux, can I use this scanner on linux?
[12:51] <arash> I have three hardware "speakers", one is a speaker set and I have two headphones, though only one seems too be active/working? Anyone know how to fix it?
[12:51] <ReK_> madwifi is the atheros linux driver
[12:51] <arash> xor11u - tried with http://hplip.sourceforge.net/ ?
[12:51] <Chads> I'll be buggered if I can get ndiswrapper to work. its like reading bloody greek on the help site
[12:51] <Zaibot> ReK_: I'll download it
[12:51] <ReK_> dont
[12:51] <ReK_> it should be included in ubuntu
[12:51] <ReK_> hang on
[12:52] <alberto> what is the best way to upgrading to gutsy?
[12:52] <mik9dt> test
[12:52] <arash> alberto - with the GUI?
[12:52] <ReK_> Zaibot: http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/Distro/Ubuntu
[12:52] <alberto> changing feisty with gutsy in apt/sources and apt-get dist-upgrade?
[12:52] <alberto> arash: what gui?
[12:53] <fbettag> morning
[12:53] <F00BaR`> hi
[12:53] <defrysk> alberto, /j #ubuntu+1
[12:53] <arash> alberto - are you using Dappper Drake and want to Go to Gutsy? thats the order if im not mistaken...
[12:53] <tapas> i wonder whether there's a package list somewhere for guty
[12:53] <tapas> where i can see what versions of software are in there
[12:53] <fbettag> anyone can explain why ubuntu 7.04 server cd comes with wireless-tools/wpasupplicant/ppp*/laptop-detect?
[12:53] <alberto> no, I am using feisty
[12:53] <Zaibot> i tried updating linux-restricted-modules but it failed so I might have lost the driver that way
[12:53] <arash> wait, what comes berween feisty and Dapper?
[12:53] <ignignokt00> edgy
[12:54] <F00BaR`> ^^^^
[12:54] <arash> sorry, mixed gutsy and edgy up....
[12:54] <Myrtti> fbettag: I can think of many good reasons, but I'm not sure they're the official ones
[12:54] <fbettag> Myrtti: Well i cannot think of any good reason for putting wireless/laptop stuff on a server..
[12:55] <tapas> fbettag: except for when you want t oserver wireless network?
[12:55] <Myrtti> laptops are quiet, that could be why someone might use a laptop as a server
[12:55] <Myrtti> and if you don't want to pull meters of cat-6 around your apartment, wifi is nice
[12:55] <fbettag> so whats that gotta do with a SERVER :)
[12:55] <arash> !sound
[12:55] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[12:56] <ignignokt00> wifi != notebook computers
[12:56] <Myrtti> ignignokt00: yes?
[12:56] <tibbe> is there a command line tool for searching for packages?
[12:56] <tapas> a server is a computer that provides services
[12:56] <Myrtti> ^
[12:56] <fbettag> tibbe: apt-cache search
[12:56] <tapas> can be a noetbook, too.. cn happen over wirelessm, too
[12:56] <ignignokt00> that's my point
[12:56] <Zaibot> ReK_: is there any way to download linux-restricted-modules when im on xp? the madwifi.com download didnt work
[12:56] <Zaibot> ReK_: or download madwifi drivers somewhere else
[12:57] <ziroday> Zaibot: yes from packages.ubuntu.com
[12:57] <fbettag> well but why doesn't it simply ask me if want all that crap? (in case i don't)
[12:57] <tibbe> fbettag: thanks
[12:57] <Ayabara> Qsvn needs libapr0 to build, but that package is obsolete and replaced by libapr1. When I build I get "/usr/bin/ld: warning: libapr-0.so.0, needed by /home/anr/Desktop/tmp/trunk/build/bin/libsvnqt-qt4.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)"
[12:57] <ReK_> Zaibot: did you install ubuntu from the desktop cd img?
[12:57] <tapas> Zaibot: yes, point your browser to the repo and download the packages
[12:57] <tapas> Zaibot: then use dpkg to install them
[12:57] <Ayabara> anyone know how I can work around this?
[12:57] <fbettag> i just want a minimal system
[12:57] <fbettag> :s
[12:57] <ignignokt00> uninstall them :)
[12:57] <fbettag> then it comes with like all of the system will be removed
[12:58] <Zaibot> ReK_: I installed it from a CD that I downloaded from the website
[12:58] <fbettag> but i'll give it a hit, if it fucks up it's one more reason to *not* take debian-based systems =)
[12:58] <Myrtti> something other than ubuntu-minimal?
[12:58] <farcl0ud> hello
[12:58] <Myrtti> fbettag: please mind your language, there are minors present
[12:58] <ReK_> Zaibot: did you change any of the options on the download, or just hit the download button
[12:58] <fbettag> Myrtti: oh sorry
[12:59] <tapas> minors should learn the complete language, too ;)
[12:59] <fbettag> s/f*/wrecks/
[12:59] <thedonvaughn> fbettag, if u want a server run minimal install.. why not just run debian?
[12:59] <Ayabara> anyone know? can I install the obsolete libapr0 package on my system, or patch the sources to it looks for libapr1 instead?
[12:59] <Myrtti> Ayabara: make a symlink?
[12:59] <fbettag> thedonvaughn: debian is the biggest evil on earth =) that's why i switched to gentoo one day ;) but since i don't want to waste ages getting my xen-servers up i'd thought to give ubuntu a try =)
[01:00] <dxdemetriou> what is the command to reload libraries that there are but not working?
[01:00] <Zaibot> ReK_: It has worked fine so far and I've used it for at least a month so it shouldn't be a faulty download. And no, I didn't change anything. I'm downloading madwifi now
[01:00] <Commander-Ape> is there away to activate surround sound
[01:00] <ReK_> Zaibot: then you already have linux-restricted-modules-common, and you just need the tools pkg listed on that page. then go to the madwifi homepage and look for the newbie docs
[01:00] <arash> fbettag , maybe Vista will make it in minutes ;)
[01:00] <dxdemetriou> !libraries
[01:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about libraries - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:00] <eXistenz> where can I download fglrx 8.28 for ubuntu?
[01:00] <ReK_> Zaibot: wait, your wireless worked fine and now it doesnt?
[01:00] <fbettag> arash: i found my love with freebsd ;) but it doesn't run as dom0 yet ;)
[01:01] <farcl0ud> I like feisty fawn lol
[01:01] <ignignokt00> you wink that much in real life?
[01:01] <ignignokt00> i mean, damn :)
[01:01] <Zaibot> ReK_: yes, i tried updating linux.restricted-modules and there was some error when i did it, and when i restarted my computer it didnt find the wifi properly
[01:01] <Zaibot> ReK_: I didnt change any settings
[01:01] <melchior7> i need more ram
[01:01] <farcl0ud> lol, ignig
[01:02] <melchior7> 512 is a bit low for ubuntu
[01:02] <ReK_> Zaibot: that's why then. linux-restricted-modules contains madwifi, which was installed and working without you knowing it. updating it broke it. try rolling it back
[01:02] <farcl0ud> 266mhz 512MB on my laptop...
[01:02] <arash> melchior7 - I think Xubuntu  might work, but a better solution might be some store that sells RAM
[01:02] <SFX-Bladerunner> what Nvidia drivers do I have to install? cuz I installed the ones ubuntu already put on but somehow I cant set my resolution above 1024x768 at 57hz ?
[01:02] <melchior7> xfce isn't really that much faster than ubuntu
[01:02] <wietz0r> ReK_: Couldn't he just do "apt-get install madwifi-source module-assistant && m-a prepare && m-a a-i madwifi ?
[01:03] <melchior7> gnome i mean
[01:03] <SFX-Bladerunner> I have a Geforce 7600gs 512mb
[01:03] <Zaibot> ReK_: how do i roll it back?
[01:03] <jrib> F00BaR`: please join #ubuntu-ops for a test
[01:03] <melchior7> is there any way, from command line, to tell what busspeed my ram is?

[01:03] <ReK_> wietz0r: no clue lol. im pretty new to linux myself, i just know madwifi well cause ive been trying to get it working for months
[01:03] <ReK_> Zaibot: no idea, ask someone else, but that's what you need to do to fix it, im pretty sure
[01:04] <Commander-Ape> SFX-Bladerunner: you need to change /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:04] <SFX-Bladerunner> lol, so much options..

[01:04] <ignignokt00> godtvisken: you have to give them money for some kind of advanced membership to do that
[01:04] <ignignokt00> i think
[01:05] <SFX-Bladerunner> hmm
[01:05] <OmegaCenti> Can't... find.. anything definitive on tty terminals configuration, defaults, resolutions
[01:05] <Chadders> anyone got experience with ndiswrapper
[01:05] <Chadders> or perhaps installing linux drivers
[01:05] <SFX-Bladerunner> anyway, I also wanted to install pidgin, but the install guide on some website said I needed to remove gaim first from apps, but when I unceck it it says I need to use the synaptic thingy but then it says I need to remove ubuntu desktop cuz gaim is a part of it
[01:06] <cupps> Can someone help me connect wirelessly?
[01:06] <ReK_> cupps: what wireless card do you have?
[01:07] <cupps> BCM4306, and I've used ndiswrapper and got the driver set up for it.
[01:07] <cupps> But I can't connect to my wireless network.
[01:07] <Commander-Ape> SFX-Bladerunner: get pidgin from getdeb.net
[01:07] <ReK_> are the drivers working? see if you can do a scan
[01:07] <SFX-Bladerunner> hmm I really need to get irc working on ubuntu lol, im on windows atm =)
[01:07] <cupps> How do I do that (still new to ubuntu)?
[01:08] <Commander-Ape> SFX-Bladerunner: and remove gaim by System - > Admin -> Synaptic
[01:08] <Chadders> I have the same problem. Cant get ndiswrapper to work.
[01:08] <SFX-Bladerunner> I tried synaptic it tells me it has to remove ubuntu desktop too
[01:08] <Chadders> read the tuts. am lost.
[01:08] <SFX-Bladerunner> but somehow I have a feeling thats not a good idea
[01:08] <SFX-Bladerunner> (says desktop is dependent on gaim)
[01:09] <cupps> How can I tell if the drivers for my wireless card re working properly?
[01:09] <Chadders> bloody hard work this ubuntu
[01:09] <ReK_> cupps: wlanconfig ath0 list scan
[01:09] <Myrtti> SFX-Bladerunner: ubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage
[01:09] <ReK_> cupps: wait, sorry, that wont work
[01:10] <nonewmsgs> damnsmalllinux
[01:10] <ReK_> cupps: you want "iwlist ath0 scan"
[01:10] <Myrtti> SFX-Bladerunner: removing it shouldn't break up anything for a while
[01:10] <SFX-Bladerunner> so it is no problem to remove it Myrtti?
[01:10] <Myrtti> SFX-Bladerunner: some might arise when you're upgrading, but that's not that big an issue
[01:10] <Kimar> sonnect
[01:10] <mik9dt> for easy irc on ubuntutu, install "xchat-gnome irc chat"
[01:10] <rausb0> how can i pass module parameters for modules in initramfs?
[01:10] <Chadders> anyone good enough to walk me through this ndiswrapper or wireless config
[01:11] <SFX-Bladerunner> hmmm
[01:11] <cupps> ReK_: It says "Interface doesn't support scanning."
[01:11] <cupps> ReK_: My wireless card shows up under ndiswrapper and iwconfig, but not ifconfig. If that helps.
[01:11] <rausb0> cupps: you must do "ifconfig ath0 up" before scanning
[01:12] <ReK_> cupps: type iwconfig, do you see anything about ath0?
[01:12] <cupps> My wireless card is listed as eth1
[01:12] <rausb0> cupps: wait a sec, do you use a native linux driver or ndiswrapper?
[01:12] <farcl0ud> mine too cupps
[01:13] <cupps> ndiswrapper
[01:13] <ReK_> erm?
[01:13] <ahmed_> hi
[01:13] <ReK_> eth1 != wireless...
[01:13] <rausb0> cupps: then i don't know. i don't use ndiswrapper at all.
[01:13] <ahmed_> iam a new user for ubuntu
[01:13] <farcl0ud> I was trying to log into some wireless networks... all of them except one had password security
[01:13] <ahmed_> and i need a help
[01:13] <aliask> I run a multi-monitor setup. Is there any way for ubuntu to fake a single monitor resolution to a program? Games do not play well with two screens.
[01:13] <cupps> Well, having installed my driver with ndiswrapper... how do I get it to actually work? :P
[01:13] <ReK_> cupps: i dont know ndiswrapper either, but try scanning on eth1 instead of ath0
[01:14] <farcl0ud> ndiswrapper?
[01:14] <godtvisken> My wireless is listed as eth2
[01:14] <ahmed_> how can setup wine on ubuntu
[01:14] <farcl0ud> mine is eth1
[01:14] <ReK_> and do iwconfig eth1 up cupps

[01:16] <Ucool> I have a rar file that has no password but when I try to open it, it asks for one??
[01:16] <rausb0> cupps: iwlist eth1 scan
[01:16] <farcl0ud> it must have a password then
[01:16] <farcl0ud> heh
[01:16] <Ucool> I know it doesnt
[01:16] <jrib> Ucool: how do you know?
[01:16] <Ucool> I made it
[01:17] <pixelation> Hey how does one go about setting the resolution to 1440x900?
[01:17] <jrib> Ucool: does it ask for a password on windows?
[01:17] <Ucool> prob not
[01:17] <jrib> Ucool: "probably not" doesn't really mean much

[01:19] <Ausicaemia> Same deal in firefox.
[01:19] <pixelation> farcl0oud: is there any type of config file I can edit?
[01:19] <farcl0ud> then maybe your driver is bad or your hardware doesn't support it, pix

[01:28] <jrib> mateo: you need to add the feisty-updates repo.  You know how to do that or want a little more detail?
[01:28] <farcl0ud> maybe it's the headphone jack that is bad
[01:29] <Veinor> hmm? how do I do that myrtti?
[01:29] <Veinor> headphone jack works in windows
[01:29] <farcl0ud> hmm

[01:29] <farcl0ud> heh
[01:29] <mateo> jrib, tell me the url

[01:39] <OmegaCenti> What is the most common name for the things located on ctl alt f1-6? I am searching for guides and need the most common name.
[01:40] <battlesquid> how can i install oracle in ubuntu feisty?
[01:40] <jrib> OmegaCenti: virtual terminal?  tty?
[01:40] <OmegaCenti> jrib: virtual terminal? why is it called virtual?
[01:40] <Veinor> Because it's not an actual terminal.
[01:40] <OmegaCenti> what is an actual terminal
[01:41] <Pici> OmegaCenti: Probably because terminals used to refer to physical machines connected to mainframes.
[01:41] <mne> hikenboot, i would like to resize a ramdisk (/dev/ramN) during runtime. The ramsize utility does not seem to work, any hints ?
[01:41] <OmegaCenti> Pici: oh, thanks.
[01:41] <Myrtti> a dumb screen that connects to a far away central computer
[01:41] <mne> hikenboot, i would like to resize a ramdisk (/dev/ramN) during runtime. The ramsize utility does not seem to work, any hints ?
[01:41] <OmegaCenti> Pici: that actually explains a lot
[01:41] <OmegaCenti> So which should I use for naming them. Virtual terminals or ttys?
[01:41] <Veinor> either; they show up in 'ps' and the like as tty
[01:41] <Veinor> like tty1, tty2, tty3
[01:41] <OmegaCenti> Veinor: so searching for guides?
[01:42] <tuliox> i need to build something, how do i install everything needed to compile so i will never have problems?

[01:42] <Veinor> search for virtual terminals and then for tty
[01:42] <JiffaJaffa> tuliox, sudo apt-get install build-essential

[01:48] <Ausicaemia> jrib: I've done about 12 searches and haven't found anything.
[01:53] <soho> somebody here, who have a deb of bless hexeditor?
[01:55] <jrib> Ausicaemia: ugh I wish people on the forums would press "search" instead of starting new topic, now I have to wade through hundreds of threads with the same exact issue and find the one with the solution explained... Can you try this in a terminal first:  azureuous /path/to/torrent    does that work?
[01:55] <OmegaCenti> How many here understand the lnux virtual terminal? If you do, by any chance could you point me in the right direction as to how to configure it properly? Guides are much appreciated
[01:55] <OmegaCenti> I am searching, and not finding much
[01:55] <Pici> !cli | OmegaCenti
[01:55] <ubotu> OmegaCenti: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[01:56] <Ausicaemia> jrib: I know what you mean, I've been doing the same thing haha. At least you know what you're looking for.
[01:56] <OmegaCenti> Pici: read it
[01:56] <jrib> Ausicaemia: I can explain to you the solution, it will be faster.  But check that that command works first, so we can make sure it's the same issue.
[01:56] <babo> Man, I'm so pissed off with ubuntu right now ...
[01:57] <user1_> why
[01:57] <supremesonic> babo why?
[01:58] <Ausicaemia> jrid: No it doesn't work.
[01:59] <fred> If I can download linux drivers for my wlan from realtek will they work with ubuntu 7.10 feisty?
[01:59] <babo> supremesonic user_1, I managed to compleletly write off my networking capability by simply switching networks on the GNOME widget ... I've been trying to get my ethernet interface to work for 3 days now ( 2 ubuntu forum posts, 3 IRC calls for help, 1 day debugging on my own ) ... :-(
[01:59] <jrib> Ausicaemia: then it must be a different issue than what I knew about
[01:59] <babo> an OS shouldn't be that tempremental ...
[01:59] <NET||abuse> hmm, having terrible stability issues with democracyplayer
[02:00] <supremesonic> babo, is it wifi or wired?
[02:00] <babo> supremesonic: wifi
[02:00] <Ausicaemia> jrib, Well basically, the files are associated with azureus but when double clicked they don't get imported.
[02:00] <babo> I can't update my server now
[02:00] <Ausicaemia> Same happens from firefox, and command line path specification.
[02:01] <jrib> Ausicaemia: I just tried here and azureus core dumps on me if I give it the path to a torrent
[02:01] <supremesonic> babo, I don't know much about wifi, but I can try help anyways :) have it found your hotspot or maybe others hotspot?
[02:01] <babo> this sucks. ubuntu is pissing me off .. I even booted from a live cd and the interface still won't work. The same computer dual-booted to windows works fine though .... Sometimes I wonder whether all this linux hassle is worth it ...
[02:02] <supremesonic> babo, it is :)
[02:02] <NET||abuse> babo, remember, it's freedom
[02:03] <jrib> Ausicaemia: did you give the absolute path to azureus?
[02:03] <NET||abuse> babo, to quote some anoying american fellah,,, "the price of freedom is eternal vigialnce"
[02:03] <Ausicaemia> Yeah.
[02:03] <supremesonic> babo, somethings are hard in linux at the first. However when you get used to it, it is lot better. My friend is saying "windows is the best" and he hates linux, however he just bought a proram. and when its about to start its just disappears with no reason. And nobody can help him.
[02:03] <NET||abuse> umm, vigilance even.. hah,,
[02:03] <Ausicaemia> jrib, I even renamed it to something simple.
[02:03] <jrib> Ausicaemia: hmm, it works here when I do: azureus /home/jrib/torrents/foo.torrent     but not if I do: azureus foo.torrent
[02:04] <babo> supremesonic, I've been using linux full time in work now for 3+ years ...
[02:04] <babo> I also run linux servers ...
[02:04] <Ausicaemia> Yeah thats exactly what i did
[02:04] <NET||abuse> so anyone else having issues with democracy player? 0.9.2 i think, the feisty deb version
[02:04] <supremesonic> babo, then I don't think I can help you, im still pretty new, sorry :)
[02:04] <babo> NET||abuse, freedom for what ? to waste my time with an overly tempremental system ?
[02:04] <NET||abuse> babo, just cause you run servers doesn't mean you know didly :)
[02:05] <NET||abuse> babo, i run 7 or 8 servers at the moment,, all linux, and i donn't know crap!!!
[02:05] <user1_> is the wifi device in kernel dmesg?
[02:05] <jrib> Ausicaemia: what out do you get in the terminal?  Does azureus give any gui notification that a file was passed?
[02:05] <Ausicaemia> jrib, azureus /home/brendan/Desktop/torrent.torrent
[02:05] <NET||abuse> babo, that's the beauty of linux :)
[02:05] <Ausicaemia> Nothing to indicate that a file was passed.
[02:05] <NET||abuse> babo, at least there are resolutions to these problems
[02:05] <NET||abuse> babo, try getting a program bug worked out in windows when your not the devloper... hah!
[02:05] <babo> NET||abuse, right. It's not just me though. This is my fourth irc post, and I've had two ubuntuforums post. I'm used to dealing with linux 'issues' but this one takes the biscuit. And nobody knows how to help ...
[02:06] <NET||abuse> babo, azureus ralted issue?
[02:06] <Ausicaemia> Just spits out a bunch of "Loading Azureus.." boot message type things, and a java command argument setting memory limits.
[02:06] <fred> Ndiswrapper help anybody?
[02:06] <fred> #
[02:06] <Ausicaemia> Nothing else about paths.
[02:06] <babo> NET||abuse, no - ubuntu related issue ...
[02:06] <babo> wifi
[02:06] <NET||abuse> babo, sorry, explain to me one more time, i've had the ocasional issue with azureus and it is usually to do with the java install
[02:06] <NET||abuse> ubuntu related?
[02:07] <jrib> Ausicaemia: what version of ubuntu?
[02:07] <NET||abuse> babo, ahh, ok, what is the issue exactly? i missed it.
[02:07] <fred> I just cant get ndiswrapper to work in ubuntu.
[02:07] <fred> after reading every helpto i can find
[02:07] <user1_> i setup wifi in 30 seconds in windows
[02:07] <Ausicaemia> 7.04 Feisty.
[02:07] <user1_> :)
[02:08] <NET||abuse> user1_, i didn't have to setup wifi on linux,, it just worked
[02:08] <ignignokt00> k, someone please help with power management, my monitor turns off after 10 or 20 minutes, even though everything in screensaver/power management is set so it never turns off, and i commented out the DPMS line in xorg.conf
[02:09] <ignignokt00> i checked my bios, and there's no power management related to the monitor, nor does the monitor itself have any power management built in
[02:09] <ignignokt00> *phew*
[02:09] <user1_> NET||abuse, that's because you have no password for your network
[02:09] <NET||abuse> user1_, no i do,, i just had it in my keychain already :)
[02:09] <babo> NET||abuse, yeah, it just worked for me too until I tried to plug into the wireless network at the local supermarket ...
[02:09] <NET||abuse> ?? what happened then?
[02:10] <babo> Could not find information on interface eth1:avahi in /proc/net/dev
[02:10] <babo> NET||abuse, ^^
[02:10] <user1_> i setup my wifi easily too, but not in linux
[02:10] <fred> anyone good enough to help me setup my wifi?
[02:10] <NET||abuse> .... emm, ok,, so you wifi card stopped working one day when you tried to connect to a network somewhere else?
[02:10] <fred> walk me through it?
[02:11] <NET||abuse> fred, what chipset? is it internal, pcmcia or usb wifi?
[02:11] <user1_> how about you read a manual
[02:11] <user1_> which walk you through?
[02:11] <fred> pci realtek 8185 chipset internal.
[02:11] <NET||abuse> user1_, shutup windows hoar
[02:11] <ignignokt00> manuals can be hard to follow for noobs buddy
[02:11] <NET||abuse> I know it's spelled whore, but you don't deserve correct diction
[02:11] <strag> Hello.
[02:11] <ignignokt00> that's "hoar" as in "hoary"
[02:12] <ignignokt00> badum-psh
[02:12] <jrib> NET||abuse: be nice please
[02:12] <NET||abuse> jrib, :) ok,, will do, i just want to welcome in a these newbs rather than give them an icy reception
[02:12] <fred> I've tried the ubuntu help websites but until i grasp linux its like reading greek.
[02:12] <NET||abuse> fred, ok, so re my question..
[02:13] <NET||abuse> fred, what is your wifi type?
[02:13] <fred> it is a realtek 8185 chipset, pci card internal.
[02:13] <user1_> ubuntu is already newbie's distribution
[02:13] <mateo> Hi
[02:13] <NET||abuse> realtek,,, ooh, havn't dealt with em..
[02:13] <ignignokt00> user1: you aren't helpful, stop
[02:13] <mateo> how can I get alsa 1.0.14 with feisty ???
[02:13] <NET||abuse> jrib, see this user1_ fellah giving ubuntu grief!!
[02:13] <ajmorris_> user1_, actually it is for beginners and advanced
[02:13] <NET||abuse> user1_, go use gentoo then you snob
[02:14] <fred> On realteks site it does have linux drivers but havent a clue what to do with them either.
[02:14] <jrib> please keep the discussion support-related only
[02:14] <jrib> !offtopic
[02:14] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[02:14] <fred> i'm trying to use ndiswrapper with the windows driver.
[02:14] <NET||abuse> :) well i'm not sure about realtek, but if there are drivers for linux, they should be available through the restricted modules in your debs
[02:14] <user1_> i use whatever i want
[02:14] <fred> see your talking greek again. havent a clue what that means
[02:14] <user1_> that includes kubuntu, debian, windows, netbsd
[02:15] <NET||abuse> fred, don't use ndiswrapper unless the linux driver really doesn't work.
[02:15] <NET||abuse> fraco, ndis is just a bit of a hack, and will make your life feel dirty for mixing ms drivers with nice clean modular linux ones! :)
[02:15] <fred> I dont have a clue how to get the drivers onto the machine NET
[02:15] <user1_> ndiswrapper guarantee it to work?
[02:15] <fraco> ?
[02:15] <fred> just a load of files to me.
[02:16] <NET||abuse> fred, ok,, one sec.. have you done any updates to your packages in synaptics?
[02:16] <fred> Well I cant get on the internet so no.
[02:16] <ignignokt00> k, someone please help with power management, my monitor turns off after 10 or 20 minutes, even though everything in screensaver/power management is set so it never turns off, and i commented out the DPMS line in xorg.conf
[02:16] <NET||abuse> fred, ok,, to get this working start by plugging into a hardwire for this machine (laptop i''m guessing_
[02:17] <ignignokt00> i checked my bios, and there's no power management related to the monitor, nor does the monitor itself have any power management built in
[02:17] <ajmorris_> fred, which kernel are you using?
[02:17] <NET||abuse> fred, linux lives on the net, so connections are essential, if you want to get some more packages to help with an install , you need the internet ...
[02:17] <fred> I dont have a cable long enough for that. Using the laptop to talk to you. running xp. transfering files using usb stick
[02:18] <ignignokt00> fred: you cannot keep an up-to-date machine without the internet, as net abuse said
[02:18] <user1_> fred, is your device detected by kernel?
[02:18] <fred> yeah I see it when I type lshw
[02:18] <NET||abuse> user1_, evidently he has the device id with lshw.. see
[02:19] <NET||abuse> fred, what he will need to check is lsmod to see if the realtek driver is there
[02:19] <dotdashandy> Another question from me if I may. I've just done a 5.10 install. Is it possible to upgrade to 7.04 from my install CD rather than online?
[02:19] <NET||abuse> fred, if so, then your wifi is probably working,
[02:19] <ignignokt00> dotdashandy: no.
[02:19] <ajmorris_> fred, you're not using Gutsy are you?
[02:19] <fred> and now for some reason my son just turned the computer off and it hangs on boot now. ohhh it gets better...lol
[02:19] <NET||abuse> fred, what you need is network-manager for gnome.. it's the only way to work effectively with wireless
[02:20] <dotdashandy> ignignokt00: Well that certainly sucks. That means my alt install cd is pretty much wasted.
[02:20] <ignignokt00> dotdashandy:  on the bright side, cd-r's cost about 20 cents apiece :)
[02:20] <NET||abuse> ignignokt00, sucks about the screen thing
[02:20] <snipex> i got a problem with my mouse... it randomly stops responding and i have to unplug cable and then put it back in...
[02:20] <ignignokt00> NET, yes it does, any advice? :\
[02:20] <dotdashandy> ignignokt00: But download limit is much more expensive.
[02:20] <snipex> i suspect it is my mouse's problem, but it could also be ubuntu's fault
[02:21] <ignignokt00> dotdashandy: that's true, if it's really too much to bear, you can order a feisty cd for free with shipit
[02:21] <ignignokt00> mine came in about 2 weeks
[02:21] <NET||abuse> ignignokt00, trying to remember how i stopped my machine from doing that.. it would interfere with my beryl/compiz session when it went into lock screen..
[02:21] <dotdashandy> ignignokt00: I already did, but the machine is far too old for the Live CDs to function, hence why I need the text installer. 7.04 didn't work anyway
[02:21] <ignignokt00> dotdashandy: you can order alt cd's from shipit, can't you?
[02:21] <fred> kernel panic panic not syncing that mean anything?
[02:22] <F00BaR`> he
[02:22] <dotdashandy> ignignokt00: No. I don't understand why it's needed to combine the install and live CDs
[02:22] <F00BaR`> can u see me
[02:22] <F00BaR`> anyone
[02:22] <ignignokt00> NET: come to think of it, i haven't checked my beryl settings at all
[02:22] <Hobbsee> F00BaR`: yes
[02:22] <ignignokt00> dotdashandy:  i thought you could use the regular cd to install without x anyway
[02:23] <dotdashandy> ignignokt00: I couldn't get it to work, on 6.06, 7.04, along with Fedora 6 and 7. So if there's a way, I've wasted 12 hours trying to find it and didn't, and had to resort to the 5.10 install cd
[02:23] <bentob0x> what's the IRC channel for all DNS/Nameservers/Zone files etc
[02:23] <fred> is it possible to repair ubuntu?
[02:23] <ignignokt00> dotdashandy: what didn't work about it?
[02:24] <gordonjcp> fred: depends how you've broken it
[02:24] <ignignokt00> dotdashandy: what are the specs on the comp you're trying to install to?
[02:24] <gordonjcp> fred: kernel panics are pretty rare, equivalent (roughly) to a BSOD in windows
[02:24] <fred> i just tried the recovery console and it hung saying sync failure
[02:24] <fred> in kernel or something
[02:24] <user1_> kubuntu failed to install on my desktop
[02:25] <dotdashandy> ignignokt00: They'd all hang in certain places, and Fedora especially wouldn't get past "running /sbin/loader", Ubuntu would hang at loading OHCI, sometimes Ethernet (on the newer ones), and at strange places. Specs are Celeron 500MHz 256MB RAM, an IBM iSeries laptop.
[02:25] <ignignokt00> ah, that is slow, but alt cds should work ok with 256mb ram
[02:25] <ignignokt00> i don't know any more i wish i had more expertise, sorry
[02:25] <dotdashandy> ignignokt00: My thoughts exactly. I can put up with the slowness (I ran PPC Ubuntu on a 250MHz Powerbook), I just couldn't for the life of me get them to boot properly
[02:27] <ignignokt00> NET||abuse: still around?
[02:27] <ali1234> dotdashandy: you can install 7.04 in text mode
[02:27] <BienTienDOng> hello
[02:27] <dotdashandy> ali1234: I know, the option is there.
[02:27] <NET||abuse> ignignokt00, yeh, sorry, just in priv chat
[02:27] <BienTienDOng> co ai ko
[02:28] <NET||abuse> oh, fred left.. :)
[02:28] <ignignokt00> no prob
[02:28] <dotdashandy> ali1234: The real trick is trying to get it to boot IN to text mode. No matter what I tried, the statements that I use to get 5.10 running didn't work
[02:28] <NET||abuse> ignignokt00, so anyway.. how did i solve the black screen issue :)
[02:28] <NET||abuse> hmm
[02:28] <ignignokt00> haha yeah, i scoured beryl-manager and didn't find anything
[02:28] <ignignokt00> i'll pop into #ubuntu-effects for a sec
[02:28] <rendo> Everytime my computer crashes or reboots, my x configuration fails and I gotta re-run the nvidia driver to set it all back up again.  Does anyone know why it happens?
[02:29] <ali1234> dotdashandy: well assuming you dont mind waiting a looong time, just use the gnome services applet thingy to disable gdm service. then it will only boot up to text mode from that point...
[02:29] <dotdashandy> ali1234: Waiting a long time isn't an option anymore. I've got to pass the right statements in order to get into the text mode first anyway, before all this
[02:30] <BienTienDOng> License Information
[02:30] <ali1234> dotdashandy: then boot into single user mode / recovery mode and delete /etc/init.d/gdm
[02:30] <dotdashandy> ali1234: because I can't boot past bash right now, it all fails and drops me to an emergency terminal, or it hangs and then I have to hard reboot
[02:31] <dotdashandy> ali1234: Is it possible to start a text install from single user mode?
[02:31] <ali1234> dont know. i only know the pxe method
[02:31] <dotdashandy> ali1234: This machine is too old for pxe, I tried that a few hours back
[02:32] <ali1234> use a grub floppy
[02:32] <dotdashandy> ali1234: Laptop has no floppy drive.
[02:32] <ali1234> gah
[02:33] <Bassetts>  I have a  Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express, how can I get a higher resolution than 1024x768 as adding custom resolutions to xorg.conf does not work
[02:33] <dotdashandy> ali1234: and it can't boot from USB volumes, so that rules out my USB floppy and any usb key
[02:33] <rem> cd ?
[02:33] <hikenboot> mne, sorry no hints never used it
[02:33] <Crack92> hi everybody
[02:34] <ignignokt00> #ubuntu-effects is pretty dead
[02:34] <ignignokt00> NET||abuse: think of anything
[02:34] <ali1234> dotdashandy: remove the HD and install pxe capable grub on it
[02:34] <rem> external cd drive through printer port ...
[02:34] <rem> ?
[02:34] <ignignokt00> ?
[02:34] <Crack92> how i can see if nvidia drivers are activated?
[02:34] <rem>  remove HD seems like a good option 2 ..
[02:34] <NET||abuse> ignignokt00, ubuntu-effects is kinda dead while beryl/compiz reorganize into compiz-fusion
[02:34] <rem> did that with a laptop that had no fd or cd ..
[02:34] <dotdashandy> ali1234: The only way I could do that was through my dad's laptop which would be impossible seeing as I would like this machine to take with me tomorrow.
[02:35] <ignignokt00> NET||abuse: ah that would make sense
[02:35] <dotdashandy> ali1234: I might just stick with 5.10 and the OpenOffice it comes with, or just scrap it and go to Windows 2000 and Office until I can get something sorted out
[02:35] <NET||abuse> ignignokt00, I've had a look through my screen saver setting s and things and not found an answer just yet though :( also just trying to finish a wifi discussion in priv chat just now.. i'll be a few minutes
[02:36] <ignignokt00> on a sidenote, i'm using xgl and in my "exit" window, i only get "log off," "lock," "switch user," and "hibernate" and there are no "restart" or "shutdown" buttons like there are in gnome
[02:36] <ali1234> dotdashandy: actually you shouldnt need to remove the HD to install pxe capable grub if you already have 5.10 installed
[02:36] <ignignokt00> know how to enable "restart" and "shutdown" in xgl?
[02:37] <dotdashandy> ali1234: Well 5.10 is on there, and i'm 83% through the Configuration right now
[02:37] <ali1234> for that matter, the grub that comes with ubuntu might have network support compiled in
[02:37] <dotdashandy> ali1234: the only problem is my ethernet wasn't detected
[02:37] <a5benwillis> Should I be afraid to click the "Upgrade to Fiesty' button in Update Manager? I dont want to loose anything on my Edgy install.....
[02:38] <Crack92> there is any command to type to see if nvidia drivers are installed? scuse me for my bad english....
[02:39] <hawk> Crack92: cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version  will tell if the kernel part is loaded at least
[02:39] <twosouls82> cat /proc/drivers/agp or something alike Crack92, I am not on Linux now
[02:39] <Bassetts>  I have a  Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express, how can I get a higher resolution than 1024x768 as adding custom resolutions to xorg.conf does not work
[02:39] <delcoyote> hi all have an easy question what is the name of the chilod of a process? is it child? or kid? ??

[02:42] <mrigns> PG: no, only english please
[02:42] <PG> ok
[02:42] <Crack92> hawk: thanks
[02:42] <Dabian> I thought this channel was international?
[02:42] <PG> thanks
[02:42] <PG> ive installed byzanz and i cant see that in my application tab
[02:42] <PG> what can i do
[02:42] <khaled> basically I've got a toshiba r100
[02:42] <Cromag> Dabian: it was for PG.
[02:43] <Dabian> Where is the international channel?
[02:43] <ignignokt00> the topic doesn't say this is EN only, does it?
[02:43] <PriceChild> Dabian, there is a channel for each language... what language do you want?
[02:43] <khaled> and while I can see the wireless
[02:43] <PriceChild> Dabian, (or country)
[02:43] <ignignokt00> ah, ok
[02:43] <magnetron> Dabian: this channel is international, in english.
[02:43] <Dabian> PriceChild : Why is there a #ubuntu-de and not a #ubuntu-en?  It doesn't seem fair that you can only speak english in the international channel.
[02:44] <Dabian> magnetron : Thats silly, like the #ubuntu-de is international in german.
[02:44] <Dabian> oh never mind
[02:44] <PriceChild> Dabian, because the largest amount of users are english...
[02:44] <Dabian> I am not up for debates.

[02:44] <^aleta^> Hi all, I'm trying to remove a printer with the Printing Gnome dialog but it does not work. How can I manually remove the printer?
[02:44] <Dabian> PriceChild : Guess why? :-P
[02:44] <vrkhans> can any one help me
[02:44] <magnetron> Dabian: #ubuntu-de IS international in german
[02:44] <PriceChild> Dabian, because an english speaking person started ubuntu, and spread it to their english speaking friends first
[02:44] <frantek> i've a kdm/nfs problem: i've a nfs mount (mounted by fstab) where the user homes (and other data) are located. when a user logs off (kde) the nfs mount is unmounted too. i do not know why. i've many systems some dapper some edgy. only the edgy - only the edgy clients show this ... how can i prevent the nfs mount from being dismounted - i'm absolutely clueless :(
[02:44] <vrkhans> my sound card is not detected
[02:45] <vrkhans> and not working
[02:45] <khaled> so  for some reason I see lo and eth0:avahi but not eth0 which also shows
[02:45] <vrkhans>  i dont know what to do
[02:45] <khaled> the available wireless connections
[02:45] <mwe> !sound | vrkhans
[02:45] <ubotu> vrkhans: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[02:45] <mateo> Hi
[02:45] <Dabian> PriceChild : Thats one explanation.
[02:45] <mateo> Im using a Intel ICH8 SoundCard
[02:45] <mateo> but it doesn't work with ubuntu feisty fawn
[02:45] <mateo> is there anything I can do ?
[02:46] <PriceChild> !doesnt work | mateo
[02:46] <ubotu> mateo: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.
[02:46] <Pici> <3 that factoid
[02:46] <mateo> doesn't sound
[02:46] <mateo> alsamixer seems to recognize it
[02:46] <Dabian> PriceChild : Another explanation is that only people who either speak english, or has an active channel of their own language, gets help?
[02:46] <mateo> and the programs seems to play sound
[02:46] <PriceChild> mateo, are you sure you have the right soundcard selected as default?
[02:46] <mateo> but it actually doesn't sound
[02:46] <PriceChild> mateo, "/msg ubotu sound" for more help
[02:46] <mwe> turn up the volumes and make sure they're unmuted
[02:47] <PriceChild> Dabian, all languages have active channels
[02:47] <PriceChild> Dabian, afaik
[02:47] <mwe> especially master and pcm probably
[02:47] <kbrooks> Dabian, are you questioning the op's authority?
[02:47] <Dabian> kbrooks : Not yet :)
[02:47] <PriceChild> kbrooks, leave it out
[02:48] <kbrooks> PriceChild, all right.
[02:48] <khaled> anyone have a good trouble shooting page for wireless cards on laptops. the pages on the wiki haven't really been all that fruitful
[02:48] <Dabian> kbrooks : Leave what out?
[02:48] <mwe> PriceChild: well active is a strong word for some of them ;)
[02:48] <Pirate_Hunter> what is swap memory used for? why have it?
[02:49] <kbrooks> Dabian, PriceChild said that, not me.
[02:49] <mwe> Pirate_Hunter: because if RAM fills up it will be used
[02:49] <Dabian> Pirate_Hunter : Big question.  If you have RAM enough, you can do without it, but generally swap is a good thing to have.
[02:49] <mwe> Pirate_Hunter: it's like extra memory
[02:49] <Pici> !offtopic
[02:49] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[02:49] <Pirate_Hunter> mwe: so it acts like a support ram and how much should be its size
[02:49] <mwe> Pirate_Hunter: depends on how much ram you have
[02:49] <ignignokt00> what's the ratio of ram:swap you should generally have?
[02:49] <PriceChild> Pirate_Hunter, if you run out of ram/swap.... linux kills random processes evily... you don't want to run out.
[02:50] <mwe> Pirate_Hunter: and your user patterns
[02:50] <kbrooks> PriceChild, didn't know that.
[02:50] <Pirate_Hunter> mwe: my swap is 1Gb is that ok than? why that big i dont know but heck i thought it was a good idea
[02:51] <mwe> Pirate_Hunter: depends on how much ram you have
[02:51] <Pirate_Hunter> mwe: kl got that
[02:51] <mwe> Pirate_Hunter: and how many programs you plan to run at the same time and the type of the programs to name a few
[02:51] <kbrooks> sorry to be extremely picky, but linux doesn't kill random processes when memory runs out. if memory runs out, then the programs get a error message and exit.
[02:51] <mwe> Pirate_Hunter: how much ram you have?
[02:52] <Pirate_Hunter> mwe: swap is very good but why the heck didnt microsoft still this and implemented it into windows
[02:52] <ignignokt00> they did
[02:52] <mwe> Pirate_Hunter: 1GB is probably plenty in any case
[02:52] <ignignokt00> it's called a page file
[02:52] <mwe> Pirate_Hunter: they did
[02:52] <kbrooks> Pirate_Hunter, they DID.
[02:52] <ignignokt00> instead of using a separate partition, they use a file on the windows partition
[02:52] <kbrooks> Pirate_Hunter, what gives you the impression they didn't?
[02:52] <mwe> PriceChild: they call it paging I believe, though.
[02:53] <ceil420> if i run something from terminal, then hit ctrl+z to do something else with that same terminal, how do i get back to the original program?
[02:53] <kbrooks> ignignokt00, i'll just ask why....
[02:53] <Pirate_Hunter> mwe & kbrooks: when? Damn MS cant they  come with something original
[02:53] <a5benwillis> Should I be afraid to click the "Upgrade to Fiesty' button in Update Manager? I dont want to loose anything on my Edgy install.....
[02:53] <^aleta^> Does anyone know the username/password I can use to add a new printer via cup's htttp interface? My user name does not work...
[02:53] <PriceChild> a5benwillis, if it ain't broke don't fix it
[02:53] <burnerx> ceil420: jobs to show what you hide in the background
[02:53] <mwe> Pirate_Hunter: heh. well the idea is about as old as the invention of RAM itself
[02:53] <ceil420> i found out about the ctrl+z thing from vim (shite text editor imo, but at least i learned one thing from it), and that program told me how to get back, but i forgot how :x
[02:53] <kbrooks> Pirate_Hunter, they can't just slap swap on another partition.
[02:53] <ignignokt00> kbrooks: what?
[02:53] <burnerx> ceil420: fg # to bring it back
[02:53] <PriceChild> a5benwillis, no point in upgrading if its all working fine
[02:53] <ceil420> burnerx, ah that's it, thanks
[02:54] <kbrooks> Pirate_Hunter, they have to adapt to backwards compatibility.
[02:54] <a5benwillis> PriceChild: True, But FF has some nice wireless features. I can wait I suppose :-)
[02:54] <kbrooks> Pirate_Hunter, and that means putting the swap on the main windows  partition.
[02:54] <marvin> hi
[02:54] <Pirate_Hunter> seriously why is everyone upgrading im still using Drapper? is there a rason to upgrade OS
[02:54] <mwe> Pirate_Hunter: you still haven't told me the size of your RAM but I think 1GB of swap is probably plenty in any case
[02:55] <Pirate_Hunter> kbrooks: so thats how they do it I see, no wonder i didnt notice it
[02:55] <ziroday> Pirate_Hunter: new features
[02:55] <Pirate_Hunter> mwe: 512 on this pc but my other is 224
[02:55] <kbrooks> Pirate_Hunter, it is "better" than removing files and resizing.
[02:55] <a5benwillis> Pirate_Hunter: New driver support as well
[02:55] <kbrooks> Pirate_Hunter, but the solution is much worser than a dedicated swap partition.
[02:56] <ignignokt00> worse*
[02:56] <Pirate_Hunter> hmmm linux lovers saying good things about Ms, i never thought I would be reading this
[02:56] <ignignokt00> :)
[02:56] <ignignokt00> who said that?
[02:56] <kbrooks> ignignokt00, me
[02:56] <kbrooks> ignignokt00, i'm just weighing in.
[02:56] <kbrooks> ignignokt00, and no need to correct me ;-)
[02:57] <ignignokt00> kbrooks, haha, i know i'm stupid
[02:57] <mwe> Pirate_Hunter: 1GB is probably fine
[02:57] <Pirate_Hunter> for the next Pc im making swap 2Gb to make up for 224 ram which is poor but heck i dont plan in upgrading it anytime soon
[02:57] <ignignokt00> now where's #grammarnazis...
[02:57] <mwe> Pirate_Hunter: you could probably do with less but if you have enough space go for 1GB I'd say
[02:57] <brainiac> With what prog would I be able to mount iso files into a virtual cd drive?
[02:57] <kbrooks> Pirate_Hunter, by "dedicated swap partition", i don't mean FAT32 with the pagefile slapped on it, which BTW is horribly inefficient
[02:57] <ziroday> !virtualbox | brainiac
[02:57] <ubotu> brainiac: VirtualBox is open-source virtualization software for x86, with a proprietary "enterprise" version sporting additional features. Packages for Ubuntu are provided by the makers at http://www.virtualbox.org/ - Setup details at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/VirtualBox
[02:57] <ignignokt00> brainiac: don't use a program, use terminal
[02:58] <mwe> Pirate_Hunter: I see
[02:58] <Pirate_Hunter> mwe: yeha I have plenty of HD space on this pc and the other
[02:58] <andypandy> hi
[02:58] <|Xabbu> Hello, I try to set up Feisty with a console resolution of 1280x1024 (for tty[1-6] ). While installing this already worked, but now I can only use vga-values ob 0F00 to 0F07 instead of 795 or 0x31B. Somehow I think, that there is no framebuffer loaded... Can anyone help me?
[02:58] <brainiac> Will I find VirtualBox in the standard repositories?
[02:58] <Pirate_Hunter> kbrooks: hmm FAT32 how cool it was when it came out
[02:58] <ignignokt00> brainiac, that's not what you want
[02:59] <brainiac> How would I do that in the terminal?
[02:59] <kbrooks> Pirate_Hunter, only because it utilized the increased space
[02:59] <ignignokt00> brainiac, sudo mkdir /media/loop
[02:59] <mwe> Pirate_Hunter: I doubt it will ever use 2GB, though
[02:59] <andypandy> if i want to use the "dd" coomand to see my disk layout whats the command line please
[02:59] <Shyde> brainiac: you can just use mount, e.g. sudo mount -o loop isofile.iso mountpath/
[02:59] <ignignokt00> then sudo mount -o loop /path/to/image.iso /media/loop
[02:59] <brainiac> Thx folks, I'll try that...
[02:59] <Pirate_Hunter> mwe: i know but its just to be sure especially since Ill be using linux on it and will be touching VMware
[03:00] <mwe> Pirate_Hunter: oh
[03:00] <mwe> Pirate_Hunter: I doubt vmware will run with so little ram
[03:00] <kbrooks> Pirate_Hunter, in general, it is much better to create a _swap partition_ on any OS than to create a swap file over a existing filesystem. but shucks for the OSes that don't have dedicated swap partitions... </rant>
[03:00] <Pirate_Hunter> kbrooks: see i learn new things everyday :-)
[03:00] <m1r> Q: how to make my presentation start imidiately on desktop start, b4 gnome starts ?
[03:00] <Pirate_Hunter> mwe: wont the swap make up for that?
[03:00] <burnerx> how do i check the runlevels in ubuntu ?
[03:00] <mwe> Pirate_Hunter: if it will performance will such bad
[03:01] <mwe> Pirate_Hunter: suck even
[03:01] <kbrooks> Pirate_Hunter, yes, but it will be slower
[03:01] <burnerx> or edit the runlevels
[03:01] <kbrooks> Pirate_Hunter, vmware uses multiple ways to make the virtualization go "fast", so to speak.
[03:01] <Pirate_Hunter> kbrooks & mwe: damn I see I guess will have to fork up for more ram than... I was hoping to use that PC as my testing area for linux
[03:01] <|Xabbu> burnerx: you can edit the file /etc/inittab
[03:02] <mwe> Pirate_Hunter: a disk acting like RAM is _slow_. only idle things should be swapped
[03:02] <Pirate_Hunter> mwe: np
[03:02] <tuliox> !kpat
[03:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kpat - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:02] <burnerx> thanks |Xabbu
[03:02] <tuliox> how do i install solitary to ubuntu?
[03:02] <tuliox> ops, i meant golf card game
[03:03] <mwe> Pirate_Hunter: if you plan to be running vmware I'm afraid you need more RAM
[03:03] <burnerx> |Xabbu: i dont have the inittab file
[03:03] <kbrooks> Pirate_Hunter, with each purchase of RAM, you're helping the prices decrease.
[03:03] <ignignokt00> when you think about it, ram's pretty cheap as it is
[03:03] <Pirate_Hunter> kbrooks: :-) lol nice way to look at it rofl
[03:03] <kbrooks> Pirate_Hunter, so, don't be too stingy - RAM is expensive for a reason.
[03:03] <mwe> Pirate_Hunter: other things could run fine, though. internet and what not
[03:03] <ignignokt00> lol or not
[03:04] <ali1234> i run vmware on this machine with 256mb ram and it's fine
[03:04] <Pirate_Hunter> mwe: yeha true but heck I was hoping to use it as a testing area because I cnat be bothered messing my normal pc
[03:04] <xerox_5555> hellp
[03:04] <xerox_5555> hello
[03:04] <|Xabbu> burnerx: what Version of Ubuntu do you use?
[03:04] <ignignokt00> xerox, just ask
[03:04] <burnerx> |Xabbu: 7.04
[03:05] <|Xabbu> Can anyone help me to set up tty[1-6]  with a higher resolution?

[03:05] <Pirate_Hunter> ali1234: 256 ram and it runs nicely huh? how? kk but the other pc has 224 thats way below standards
[03:05] <PG> wich desktop recorder is the best one???????????
[03:06] <ziroday> !best | PG
[03:06] <ubotu> PG: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[03:06] <kulka_> hi
[03:06] <kulka_> all
[03:06] <pike_> xange: gkdu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst add something like vga=0x317 to the end of the kernel line.  you can google for vga= values
[03:06] <mrigns> PG: recordmydesktop is my favourite
[03:06] <kulka_> how connect nokia n70 to ubuntu 7.04
[03:06] <kulka_> ?
[03:06] <ignignokt00> ziroday: warning: rockbox gets old after a while... having to boot every time you want to start listening rather than sleep/resume is annoying... just fyi :)
[03:06] <Stormx2> PG: You only need one question mark. A good start is recordMyDesktop. If you don't like it, try another one.
[03:06] <pike_> xange: er.. gksu gedit i mean
[03:06] <Pirate_Hunter> kulka_: I would liek to find that out as well the CD installation through wine is a nightmare
[03:07] <ignignokt00> ziroday: however, if i was dying to have an open source firmware to play .ogg's or something, it works
[03:07] <xerox_5555> >> /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom  >> paste pls
[03:07] <OmegaCenti_> No system beep. Any ideas?
[03:07] <PG> who can i get record my desktop
[03:07] <ali1234> Pirate_Hunter: well this machine has shared graphics so it has only 224mb too
[03:07] <Stormx2> PG: How*. Google it.
[03:07] <|Xabbu> pike_: I tried that with vga=795 and vga=0x31B but I can only choose between the values 0F00 to 0F07. And those values do not affact anything.
[03:07] <tinin> please, how do i change the resolution during boot? i've got a old monitor. Where's the file with the parameters?
[03:08] <roadfish> I did "apt-get install eclipse-jdt" and got the message "eclipse-jdt set to manual installed.". So what does this "... set to manual installed." message mean?
[03:08] <ziroday> ignignokt00: its either rockbox or converting all my music from .wma
[03:08] <xerox_5555> im not the change login screen config
[03:08] <PG> i knew that your say that^^^hehehehhe
[03:08] <ignignokt00> ziroday: .wma?  and i though .mp3 was bad.. :\\
[03:08] <Pirate_Hunter> ali1234: same as the other and works well with vmware nice, I was hoping to test Me/200 on that pc using vmware
[03:08] <variant> PG: istanbull is a great desktop recorder.. supports sound to
[03:08] <PG> thanks i look
[03:08] <Stormx2> ignignokt00: WMA actually has a better compression algorithm than MP3.
[03:08] <ali1234> Pirate_Hunter: by nicely i mean windows takes no more than 1.5x the amount of time to load up as it would if installed natively
[03:08] <PG> i have istanbul but how it records
[03:08] <ziroday> ignignokt00: i was ignorant at the time of ripping :(
[03:09] <PG> and where i can see thath records thing
[03:09] <ignignokt00> i heard that
[03:09] <Stormx2> PG: You might be better off asking in #ubuntu-de ?
[03:09] <variant> PG: start it and press the button on the panel
[03:09] <ignignokt00> stormx2:  now that i have the space i'd rather go flac myself :)
[03:09] <variant> PG: and when you stop the video it asks you to put a file name to save the file
[03:09] <PG> ok thanks a lot
[03:09] <Stormx2> ignignokt00: FLAC only works if it's already in lossless. I rip most of my music into FLAC.
[03:09] <PG> your great
[03:09] <magnetron> Stormx2: compare ogg vorbis
[03:09] <ignignokt00> stormx2: same.  however, we're OT
[03:10] <Pirate_Hunter> ali1234: as long as it works, i dont care much for windows anymore, i am closer to stopping using it for good, just wished certain apps worked in ubuntu i.e. my CD for my N70 and a few other things
[03:10] <Stormx2> magnetron: I don't know much about the ogg vorbis, seeing as I only have one album in it :)
[03:10] <magnetron> please join #ubuntu-offtopic we need some more nice ppl like you
[03:10] <Kprofthreat> Can I get someone's help to make a launcher for Sauerbraten's start script?
[03:10] <ali1234> Pirate_Hunter: nokia? i think there's a suite to sync it on linux...
[03:10] <ignignokt00> if my ipod could play ogg with the apple firmware, i'd convert everything in a second
[03:10] <PG> and what does it means record in 3d (question for istanbuk)
[03:10] <Pirate_Hunter> magnetron: lol thats so persuasive
[03:11] <Stormx2> ignignokt00: You'd be transcoding and lose quality. #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:11] <mrigns> PG: it's to record compostiting for example
[03:11] <PG> ah beryl
[03:11] <Pirate_Hunter> ali1234: hmm didnt know that I found the Mac OSX version but not pc suite for linux
[03:11] <Kprofthreat> I'm guessing that's a "no, screw you"
[03:11] <ali1234> Pirate_Hunter: well thats cos it is not official from nokia
[03:11] <dotdashandy> Hey guys, thanks for ALL your help throughout my 14 hour ordeal getting ubuntu on this laptop, it's running 5.10 nice and smoothly and i've got access to OpenOffice Writer, so mission accomplished. Thanks so much to everyone for being understanding while I bitched and moaned about things not working
[03:12] <Pirate_Hunter> ali1234: ;-) will look for it

[03:13] <Pirate_Hunter> ali1234: thanx will look now for it
[03:13] <dotdashandy> magnetron: Yeah, it's all that I could get on here. It's not accessing the net, and all I want is to have a battery-powered writing machine, so yeah I am
[03:13] <magnetron> dotdashandy: why not 6.06
[03:13] <tekryan> Hi. I recently installed Ubuntu and have a Linksys Wireless Adapter WUSB54GSC. I talked with Cisco/Linksys tech support and they stated there was no way to use this adapter on the box. Is this true and if not what can I do?
[03:13] <oxxa> What usualy creates the admin group? i installed using debootstrap and i don't seem to have it

[03:16] <tekryan> I just checked that site and I don't quite understand, it says it "works out of box" ?
[03:16] <tekryan> What is that supposed to mean
[03:16] <magnetron> dotdashandy: there is "alternate" cd:s since 6.06 that just install ubuntu. no livecd.
[03:16] <prodigel> Hi. I want to install my webcam. Anybody  dealt with this issue till now?
[03:16] <Hazarath> Quick question, apps are crashing in Fiesty... where is the system log located? o.o;;;
[03:16] <magnetron> tekryan: it probably works then
[03:16] <super-6-1> tekryan you have a wireless card?
[03:17] <dotdashandy> magnetron: I tried the alternate for 7.04, didn't work. The installer CDs for Fedora 3 and 6 didn't work either, and they're text based. I just have a really picky laptop :P
[03:17] <tekryan> Yes @ super-6-1
[03:17] <ali1234> Hazarath: /var/log/messages
[03:17] <magnetron>   dotdashandy: nice that it works now though
[03:17] <super-6-1> tekryan: ok whats the chipset?

[03:18] <SpiderMonkey> hi, i've a problem: when trying to boot from the ubuntu CD I just burned, my floppy drive goes mental for a little while, then I get dumped into a command prompt

[03:18] <super-6-1> do this go into manually input everything in to the network config
[03:19] <delcoyote> kill -9 (PID)
[03:19] <super-6-1> and restart
[03:19] <paolo_> Hi. how can i pipe a string to a process with a precise pid?
[03:19] <prodigel> Nobody knows about webcams in linux ??
[03:19] <dff> i dont have tehe PID
[03:19] <tekryan> And that should work with wep wireless networks?
[03:19] <dff> delcoyote the PID keeps changin
[03:19] <super-6-1> yes thats how mine works
[03:19] <SpiderMonkey> prodigel: id have to reboot to tell you
[03:19] <super-6-1> try that and come back
[03:20] <SpiderMonkey> ive booted this CD successfully on another computer, so it mustve burned correctlu
[03:20] <delcoyote> not sure then dff
[03:20] <prodigel> SpiderMonkey: Do that. Might help
[03:20] <delcoyote> gottago
[03:20] <tekryan> Ok super-6-1. I will try that.  Thanks
[03:20] <dff> yea neither am i
[03:20] <james_> how do i install kde in ubuntu
[03:20] <super-6-1> ok
[03:20] <delcoyote> ask away someone will answer your question dff
[03:20] <SpiderMonkey> hmm
[03:20] <Hazarath> ali1234, thanks, but, I fail to see anything in it about 'ktorrent'. Left the system running with it up, came back, it was dead. x.x
[03:20] <pike_> james_: it is a long and tedious process
[03:20] <super-6-1> ok can some one tell me where the picture file is on linux?
[03:21] <ali1234> Hazarath: well, every single app crash doesnt get logged to the syslog
[03:21] <pike_> james_: ready? sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[03:21] <james_> yes
[03:22] <super-6-1> any one know where the screensave for pictures where do i put my pictures in to get it to work
[03:22] <Hazarath> ali1234, so... what would I do to locate and see why? Then again, I DID tell the system to update when I left too, maybe it required to terminate the app so as to update a package it uses? o.o
[03:23] <OldPink> Hi All. :)
[03:23] <Hazarath> super-6-1, what are ya talkin' 'bout? o.O
[03:23] <ali1234> super-6-1: you can pick any folder you want in the screensaver settings
[03:23] <james_> pike seems it is working fine
[03:23] <Hazarath> super-6-1, oh, nevermind.
[03:23] <ali1234> Hazarath: no, you dont have to terminate apps to update. there is probably no log of the crash anywhere on your system
[03:24] <james_> pike it is 27 percent
[03:24] <james_> pike what do i do after it is finished
[03:24] <super-6-1> Hazarath, im the screensaver theres a  option to have ur pictures as a screensaver where do i put my pictures for that?
[03:25] <Hazarath> ali1234, not ME, but, maybe something else terminated it whilst the update was running, I donno.
[03:25] <Hazarath> super-6-1, I.. donno, I don't see a settings thingy. o.O
[03:25] <super-6-1> ok whats version of linux are you running?
[03:25] <ali1234> Hazarath: have you checked the obvious: file finished downloading, out of disk space etc?
[03:26] <ali1234> super-6-1: sorry, there is no option for it in the dumbed down gnome screensaver settings
[03:26] <Hazarath> ali1234, lesse... no, 40% done, and 100+GB free, that's not it, heh.
[03:26] <super-6-1> well can you tell me where the picture file is in linux?
[03:26] <ali1234> super-6-1: just looking
[03:26] <super-6-1> ok
[03:27] <ali1234> Hazarath: well, it's kde... did you see the kde crash manager window?
[03:27] <Hazarath> ali1234, no, when I returned, there was nothing up.
[03:28] <OmegaCenti_> Someone is telling me I should put an Xdefaults file inside of my home folder. is this safe?
[03:28] <OmegaCenti_> !Xdefaults
[03:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xdefaults - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:28] <jrib> OmegaCenti_: it's safe.. why do you need it?
[03:28] <OmegaCenti_> jrib: to install something like xvrt
[03:28] <lllllll> Anyone use Wallpapoz? I've installed it as per the instructions but now I want to know how to *run* it (new to ubuntu)
[03:29] <prodigel> Come on guys? Web cam? WEB CAM?
[03:29] <prodigel> It's getting obsessive
[03:29] <jrib> !webcam > prodigel (see the private message from ubotu)
[03:29] <jrib> OmegaCenti_: do you really mean "xvrt"?  not "rxvt"?
[03:29] <grimboy> I have a usb external hard disk. I right clicked it, went to the Volume tab and changed mount point to /media/media/ (a directory I had created) in the hope that it would always be mounted at that point when plugged in. After rebooting it is not mounted at all.
[03:29] <grimboy> Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?
[03:29] <OmegaCenti_> jrib: probably. for displaying nethack with decgraphics
[03:30] <Hazarath> super-6-1, I think there's an advanced thing you can do, you can, in essence, switch your desktop from X to... I don't recall what, but, anywho, it gives you preferences and everything for screen-savers, heck, it even gives you a lot more.
[03:31] <jrib> OmegaCenti_: don't know about that.  But 'rxvt' is packaged in the repositories.  Yes, you can configure it using ~/.Xdefaults (see the man page for rxvt or google for a sample .Xdefaults or .Xresources).  Do you know about APT?
[03:31] <OmegaCenti_> jrib: yes
[03:31] <jrib> OmegaCenti_: k, you should be able to install rxvt through APT as long as you have enabled universe then
[03:31] <Hazarath> My first attempt at help, and he leaves. x.x
[03:32] <jrib> Hazarath: don't be discouraged, there are plenty of others you can help :)
[03:32] <Rienzilla> Hey all
[03:32] <Hazarath> jrib, thanks, but, donno if I can help that many anywho, lol

[03:33] <ibm_> Hello word
[03:33] <tekryan> Do you need ndiswrapper for all wireless adapters?
[03:33] <ali1234> Hazarath: if you really want to know why it crashed, run it in gdb from the terminal
[03:33] <magnetron> Rienzilla: use networkmanager?
[03:33] <ibm_>
[03:33] <Rienzilla> no networkmanager severely screws up my network config
[03:34] <ibm_>

[03:34] <ceil420> what's shortkeys do?
[03:34] <ibm_> thanks
[03:34] <Hazarath> ali1234, explain please?
[03:35] <ali1234> Hazarath: first sudo apt-get install gdb
[03:35] <ceil420> can metacity themes use .xpm images in the draw_ops, or just .png? (or if there's a better channel for this question? :x)
[03:35] <ali1234> Hazarath: then at the console: gdb ktorrent torrentfile.torrent
[03:35] <ali1234> Hazarath: then at the prompt type "run"
[03:35] <jrib> Hazarath: looks fine, note that you want the 'rxvt-unicode' package for urxvt
[03:35] <dff> Where do i find some CHROOT tutorials?
[03:36] <jrib> !chroot > dff (see the private message from ubotu)
[03:36] <OmegaCenti_> jrib: you mean OmegaCenti_?
[03:36] <Hazarath> o.o;;;
[03:36] <jrib> OmegaCenti_: yes... I do.  Sorry Hazarath
[03:36] <Hazarath> No worries, jrib
[03:36] <OmegaCenti_> jrib: alright well I have rxvt-unicode installed
[03:36] <ali1234> Hazarath: then wait for it to crash, and it will tell you why
[03:37] <tealson> can I somehow configure acrobat-reader so that i am capable of printing with it? i have a kyocera fs1000+ but I dont know which device I have to use to print
[03:38] <jrib> OmegaCenti_: see this bug report though and update your file: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rxvt-unicode/+bug/65102
[03:39] <Hazarath> ali1234, guess all I gotta do now is wait.
[03:39] <ceil420> can metacity themes use .xpm images in the draw_ops, or just .png? (or if there's a better channel for this question? :x)
[03:39] <LiMaLiEd> Hi All!
[03:40] <OmegaCenti_> jrib: uh... it seems to be going over my head.. anyway to get DECgraphics to work in console or in the terminal used by default in gnome?
[03:40] <wietz0r> Thanks it works :)
[03:40] <jscinoz> Is there a decent linux alternative to the windows program ShortKeys?
[03:40] <bkudria> i have a dapper install i want to upgrade to feisty, but no upgrade option appears in the update manager.  what could be wrong?
[03:40] <Hazarath> ali1234, Er... it said the program 'Ended normally.' However, I just opened the app from my systray... it's still running normally. o.O
[03:40] <jrib> OmegaCenti_: just change URxvt to urxvt in lowercase
[03:40] <ceil420> jscinoz, what's shortkeys?
[03:40] <OmegaCenti_> jrib: uh huh...
[03:41] <F00BaR`> ty
[03:41] <jscinoz> Its a short macros program, basically you type two or three characters and it replaces them with a much longer string (eg i'd type ".ub" and it might replace it with "yay ubuntu")
[03:41] <sumigamer> guys this is a serious problem......when i launch the terminal, only the file, view, edit and other tabs show up. the user name and that other stuff doesnt show up....its completely blank, and i cant type anything in it. whats the matter??
[03:41] <ali1234> Hazarath: it must have detected it was alread running and just handed the url over to the alread running instance
[03:41] <jscinoz> it doesnt use copy and paste, it unputs it directly
[03:42] <ceil420> jscinoz, oh, that's not what i was thinking :x i don't know, sorry
[03:42] <jscinoz> Sumigamer, are you using beryl/compiz?
[03:42] <Vlet> I turned on vnc just before I left home, and set a pass (with no 'ask for confirmation'), and now that I'm trying to log in, it's giving me an authentication error... does the version of vnc that comes packed with ubuntu use a different protocol than the standard vnc client?
[03:42] <Hazarath> ali1234, Ok, I'm just gonna smile and nod to that, and hope it's ok. >.>

[03:42] <younghacker> ouch
[03:42] <jscinoz> tthanks bkudria
[03:42] <ali1234> Hazarath: sure it wasnt running the whole time, but in the tray?
[03:42] <jscinoz> sumigamer, do your other windows have decorations? eg titlebar etc
[03:42] <Hazarath> ali1234, No, because it was at like, 40% when I went to bed.
[03:43] <bkudria> jscinoz: it may be a bit hard to get running, i didn't document it very well.  email me if you have any questions!

[03:44] <lllllll> Thanks
[03:44] <Pirate_Hunter> in ubuntu whats the driver for usb - im being instructed to look for  /dev/ttyACM0, is that right?
[03:45] <sumigamer> jscinoz, with the quotes??
[03:45] <Dave_K> Stormx2, ^^ thanks of course, I know the channel. But they can't help me out.
[03:45] <ali1234> Pirate_Hunter: usb what?
[03:45] <jscinoz> not all of them it should look like this:          Option        "AddARGBVisuals"         "True"
[03:45] <ali1234> Pirate_Hunter: replug the device and type "dmesg" in terminal and it should tell you what new devices were created in /dev (if any)

[03:45] <enriko> hi. have a problem with feisty and a logitech quickcam connect. gspca module is up but i can connect to it using ekiga or camorama

[03:46] <Hazarath> I love Feisty, btw... i got the 'desktop effects' on, heh. Oh, how's Feisty with wireless? Is it easier to configure?
[03:46] <Pirate_Hunter> ali1234: ive downloaded kmobiletools and im trying to set i up to pick my fone from USB
[03:46] <enriko> saw different posts about it, but all were about compiling the gspca module
[03:46] <enriko> that i have
[03:46] <magnetron> Hazarath: it's easier
[03:46] <ali1234> Hazarath: if you have a supported card it is very easy
[03:46] <ali1234> Pirate_Hunter: okay. so plug in your phone then type "dmesg" and see what it says
[03:47] <Pirate_Hunter> ali1234: I dont get any of it and its just too long

[03:48] <OldPink> jl007: Open a terminal, and type sudo aptitude install wine
[03:48] <jscinoz> Bkudria i downloaded your program but it doesnt do anything upon running it
[03:49] <sumigamer> jscinoz, i dont get it in what way do i add that option thing.....there are only two columns
[03:49] <bkudria> jscinoz: it requires quite a bit of configuration
[03:49] <bkudria> jscinoz: i can walk you through it, if you want
[03:49] <jscinoz> bkudria, yes please
[03:49] <bkudria> jscinoz: may i PM you, then?

[03:50] <jl007> hi all, where you live?
[03:50] <jscinoz> make a new line inside that section

[03:51] <jscinoz> with ctrl alt bksp
[03:51] <mycelph> How do you change the grub settings???
[03:51] <jscinoz> If that doesnt work then i cant help you further, just google "Beryl no window decorations"
[03:51] <jscinoz> without the quotes
[03:52] <ali1234> Pirate_Hunter: did you unplug a usb drive to plug in the phone?
[03:52] <andypandy> please can the term "/./dev/static/dev" mean (this my ext3 10.3 gig partition)
[03:52] <Vlet> Is there any way to get a remove ubuntu system to start sshd if it's not running?
[03:53] <Pirate_Hunter> ali1234: yeah i dont know how to unplug the safe way so i just took it out
[03:53] <xenon> sdfsdf
[03:53] <pontino> uh
[03:53] <xenon> oop, sorry
[03:53] <ali1234> Pirate_Hunter: for future ref. right click the icon then "eject"
[03:53] <ali1234> Pirate_Hunter: but it looks like your phone wasnt detected
[03:53] <Pirate_Hunter> ali1234: lol thats all i had to do man need to get the hang of this
[03:53] <ali1234> Pirate_Hunter: if it's very new, it may still work
[03:54] <Pirate_Hunter> ali1234: i know PC suite does that in XP but in linux i was hoping kmobiletools would do it but it wants the device port
[03:54] <andypandy> can a "static" dev be partitioned?
[03:54] <ali1234> Pirate_Hunter: can you pastebin the output from "lsusb" while the phone is plugged?
[03:55] <Pirate_Hunter> ali1234: kk
[03:56] <ndee> I'm using the nvidia-glx driver from the official feisty repo. Can I now just upgrade to the latest nvidia driver from their homepage? or would that result in a conflict?

[03:57] <incorrect> i've set up my dns server to cover my local network,  what i would like to be able to do is make sure the dhcp server assigns ip addresses based on the hostname of the machine

[03:57] <ackbahr> Hi there! Does anyone know where I could find a list of linuy compatible USB numpads for laptops?
[03:57] <ceil420> can metacity themes use .xpm images in the draw_ops, or just .png?
[03:58] <ZeroA4> ackbahr, USB numpads that uses stardard USB hid driver must all work
[03:59] <sgruber> i need help
[03:59] <ali1234> Pirate_Hunter: according to that you only have a joystick connected
[03:59] <ackbahr> ZeroA4: Thanks a lot
[03:59] <Hazarath> sgruber, just ask ya question.
[03:59] <sgruber> i fixed my resolution, sort of, but now i can't get into gnome
[03:59] <ZeroA4> ackbahr, :)
[03:59] <Pirate_Hunter> ali1234: nah the phone is connected but not picking up which is weird
[03:59] <osxdude|laptop> logging is on...
[03:59] <sgruber> i needed to run 1280x800
[03:59] <Hazarath> sgruber, does your screen support that?
[04:00] <sgruber> Hazarath: yep
[04:00] <Hazarath> sgruber, what's up, then?
[04:00] <ZeroA4> ceil420, some icons are xpm so a guess you can use xpm for themes
[04:00] <pike_> sgruber: the login screen is up?
[04:00] <Pirate_Hunter> ali1234: it picked up now
[04:00] <sgruber> yeah the login screen works, though its scrunched into the center
[04:01] <Pirate_Hunter> ali1234: Bus 003 Device 005: ID 0421:043a Nokia Mobile Phones
[04:01] <sgruber> but i log in and my monitor says "out of range"
[04:01] <Hazarath> sgruber, are you on a CRT, or an LCD?
[04:01] <leeyee> linuxverilog
[04:01] <osxdude|laptop> Hazarath: Hes probably  on an LCD. Newer LCDs do that.
[04:01] <sgruber> hazarath: lcd
[04:02] <Hazarath> sgruber, I find my 'adjust' button to be quite handy when my screen goes crazy.

[04:03] <ali1234> Pirate_Hunter: anything new at the end of dmesg now it's picked up?

[04:05] <mneisen> Hi, after solving my troubles with my boot partition (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman/+bug/122563 and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=484030) I still have a problem with unresolved dependencies when upgrading the kernel (see http://pastebin.ubuntu-nl.org/27769/). Anybody know how to fix this?
[04:05] <sgruber> y
[04:06] <sgruber> anybody else have any ideas
[04:06] <ali1234> Pirate_Hunter: okay see that last line about cdc-acm? that means it is probably working
[04:06] <GhostFreeman> Where does Ubuntu keep all of its theme icons?
[04:06] <GhostFreeman> namely the ones for Human
[04:06] <Whitor> How do I get the Windows Key to work in Ubuntu? on a laptop
[04:07] <Pirate_Hunter> ali1234: but whats the pat for the device so i can put it on ktools?
[04:07] <Hazarath> Aand... that would of normally been amusing, but... my ThinkPad internal PS/2 pointer went, and pretty much stayed, in 'heywire' mode, for lack of better terms; it was like, someone would move the courser in random directions, and click the left button randomly as well. o.O;;;;
[04:07] <stefg> !shortcuts
[04:07] <ubotu> Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts (Gnome) or "Input Actions" in KControl (KDE). If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try keytouch - http://keytouch.sourceforge.net
[04:07] <^la> hello, it was announced, that openvz is integrated into 7.04 release. do you know how to install it ?
[04:07] <ali1234> Pirate_Hunter: well have a look in /dev
[04:08] <sumigamer> guys when i restarted x it says that fatal error, no screens found. i now have to work through command prompt....help!!
[04:08] <ali1234> Pirate_Hunter: ls /dev/*ACM*
[04:08] <stefg> GhostFreeman: /usr/share/icons is containing the system wide icon themes
[04:08] <Pici> GhostFreeman: /usr/share/icons/
[04:08] <Pirate_Hunter> ali1234: i am what am i supposed to see there are so many files
[04:08] <GhostFreeman> thank you
[04:08] <Pirate_Hunter> ali1234: trhanx
[04:08] <troopperi> sumigamer: have you install beryl, compiz, or set your xorg.conf file
[04:09] <ali1234> Pirate_Hunter: now that it is actually detected, the default will probably work
[04:09] <xtyn>  i have a broken laptop and i need the data from the hdd, what do i do?
[04:09] <Whitor> stefg: its not a multimedia key... Its not that I don't know how to assign it to actions... its that the OS doesn't recognize it at all
[04:09] <sumigamer> yeah, well i have beryl, and i also edited my xorg.conf because my terminal wasnt working properly.
[04:09] <Pirate_Hunter> ali1234: u mean /dev/mobile
[04:10] <J_t_M> Hi guys, I'm trying to work out which version of the Ubuntu server disk I need to install on a Sun Fire 120 and 240. Can anyone suggest which one it is I need? Thanks
[04:10] <stefg> Whitor: It's often referred to as <Super-L> or <Super-R>
[04:10] <ali1234> Pirate_Hunter: no, /dev/ttyACM0
[04:10] <jacktheripper> there aer so many version sof ubunto, im leaing towarsd the muslim edition, praise to him, what are the differences?
[04:10] <osxdude|laptop> xtyn: take out the hdd
[04:10] <xtyn> ok

[04:11] <younghacker> wow it seems as if my universe is enabled are those messages to enable the universe in order to apt-get certain programs just a recurring message
[04:11] <jacktheripper> where is the muslim edition channel?
[04:11] <Agip> dev/hda has been mounted xx times, check forced <-- what does that mean?
[04:11] <J_t_M> Agip - it's just preventitive... don't worry about it
[04:11] <osxdude|laptop> xtyn: of the old laptop, of course
[04:11] <xtyn> :)
[04:11] <xtyn> of course
[04:11] <Agip> ohh ok
[04:11] <xtyn> but what do i do?
[04:11] <m1r> i was wondering how can i make a presentation startup before gnome desktop loads to be able to lock screen with it, for example , right after usplash and b4 gnome desktop starts showing taskbars and icons?
[04:11] <stefg> Whitor: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/use-the-windows-key-for-the-start-menu-in-ubuntu-linux/
[04:12] <xtyn> i don't have a cable for it
[04:12] <troopperi> sumigamer: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:12] <Pirate_Hunter> does anyone know what would be nokia text encoding
[04:12] <toryl__> jacktheripper: #ubuntume on freenode
[04:12] <sumigamer> trooperi, how much data will it download,
[04:12] <jacktheripper> toryl__, no one is in there
[04:12] <jacktheripper> at all
[04:12] <troopperi> sumigamer: none
[04:13] <sumigamer> trooperi, will i lose beryl??
[04:13] <Agip> and how can I disable the boot options? I don't want to be choosing the system every time I start the pc
[04:13] <xtyn> osxdude|laptop: what do i do with the hdd?
[04:13] <troopperi> sumigamer: you should have configure your xorg.conf file that you should have start your x
[04:13] <jacktheripper> praise allah
[04:13] <jacktheripper> must find support
[04:13] <sumigamer> trooperi, i didnt get what you said
[04:13] <ali1234> xtyn: put it in another laptop and boot it. if it wont boot, use a livecd. then copy the files to a usb drive or a network share
[04:14] <troopperi> sumigamer: nvidia, ati?
[04:14] <J_t_M> Agip - edit /boot/grub.conf (it may not be exactly that file but it will be called grub.conf) and change the timer to 0
[04:14] <toryl__> jacktheripper: if you have a a question you can ask it here or in #linuxhelp and someone will probably help you.
[04:14] <xtyn> ouch
[04:14] <J_t_M> Agip - or 1 perhaps
[04:14] <sumigamer> troopperi, intel
[04:14] <xtyn> osxdude|laptop: difficult
[04:14] <xtyn> :)
[04:14] <sumigamer> and i didnt make any changes in the file for installing beryl
[04:14] <troopperi> sumigamer: ...wait.. i get some information of that
[04:14] <xtyn> osxdude|laptop: isn't there a special cable or something?
[04:14] <Agip> J_T_M: ok I'll try it
[04:15] <J_t_M> Good luck Agip :)
[04:15] <stefg> J_t_M, Agip : That's dangerous
[04:15] <Hazarath> Oh, how good is Intel based video cards on Feisty?
[04:15] <aer> alowww
[04:15] <projectstartrek> exit
[04:15] <aer> alow
[04:16] <stefg> Agip: rather edit menu.lst to 'default saved' and a svedefault statement after the maion entries
[04:16] <Pici> aer: ?
[04:16] <stefg> savedefault, that is
[04:16] <ali1234> xtyn: the alternative is a 2.5" external usb caddy or an adapter to connect it to a desktop pc
[04:16] <bronze> Do anyone know how to get a terminal as my desktop background, except for the devilspie script. It doesn't work for me.
[04:16] <xtyn> osxdude|laptop: ok, thx
[04:17] <Vlet> bronze: check out 'tilde'
[04:17] <bronze> Vlet, tilda
[04:17] <Vlet> ahh yah
[04:17] <m1r> i was wondering how can i make a presentation startup before gnome desktop loads to be able to lock screen with it, for example , right after usplash and b4 gnome desktop starts showing taskbars and icons?
[04:17] <stefg> bronze: Ugh, that would be tricky to work with. you could try tilda and sett it to fullscreen
[04:17] <Hazarath> I guess I'll check for myself. o.o
[04:17] <Agip> stefg: why
[04:17] <sumigamer> trooperi, you got something??
[04:18] <stefg> Agip: if timeout 0 for grub you have no way of recovering the system in the event of a failed kernel update, or other boot trouble
[04:19] <Agip> stefg: and were is  menu.lst located?
[04:19] <Agip> stefg: and were is  menu.lst located?
[04:20] <Agip> stefg: ops sorry for the 2 lines
[04:20] <sebrock> Portmap is trying to start twice on my boot... how can I fix this?
[04:20] <stefg_> Agip: /boot/grub/menu.lst ... read it twice and careful, it's well commented
[04:20] <projectstartrek> /boot
[04:20] <jacktheripper> sebrock, chmod -x /etc/rc*.d/*port*
[04:21] <troopperi> sumigamer: im searching
[04:21] <Agip> stefg: ok thanks
[04:21] <sumigamer> troopperi, maybe i should just use the command that you gave]
[04:21] <triple_> heres a question
[04:22] <triple_> how do i get xchat to go to a default server at startup
[04:22] <jacktheripper> triple_, /j #xchat
[04:22] <troopperi> sumigamer: use this sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[04:22] <sebrock> jacktheripper, is that not changing ownership?
[04:23] <troopperi> sumigamer: and answer yes if its ask something
[04:23] <jacktheripper> sebrock, man chmod
[04:23] <sumigamer>   after i run the command will it do the rest automatically??
[04:23] <troopperi> sumigamer: yes..
[04:23] <sebrock> ok... em is there no way of taking it away from some bootlist instead?
[04:23] <sebrock> jacktheripper ^^
[04:24] <jacktheripper> sebrock, probably
[04:24] <sumigamer>  troopperi, thanks for helping a newbie like me. i will boot into ubunut and try it out now
[04:24] <jacktheripper> i gave you the linux way...gotta figure out the ubunto way
[04:24] <sebrock> jacktheripper, could you lead me to this instead
[04:24] <troopperi> sumigamer: ok
[04:24] <alesan> hi, how can I print from gimp? there is no print button or menu
[04:25] <sebrock> jacktheripper what is crw-rw--- when using chmod
[04:25] <sebrock> never understod that
[04:25] <Hazarath> Hey, is there a program available to restore files from a Windoze 'Settings and File Transfer' thingy?
[04:25] <Projectstartrek> alesan: save the image and print it through image viewer
[04:25] <Quicktabb> hi
[04:25] <m1r> help needed with program startup
[04:26] <alesan> Projectstartrek, that's not a real solution
[04:26] <robin_says_hi_> can anyone confirm out of the box support for SATA hard drives in feisty?
[04:26] <alesan> it seems I have to install "gimp-print"
[04:26] <SlimeyPete> robin_says_hi_: I can (though it probably depends on your motherboard chipset)
[04:26] <jacktheripper> robin_says_hi_, you mean the linux kernel?
[04:26] <stefg> robin_says_hi_: tht's not a question of sata, but of your mobos chipset
[04:27] <Hazarath> robin_says_hi_, I can.
[04:27] <bronze> Vlet, stefg, when using tilda I get error "GtK-critical"
[04:27] <Hazarath> robin_says_hi_, just look for 'ntfs-3g config' in the distros.
[04:28] <Hazarath> robin_says_hi_, And, disregard that.
[04:28] <Hazarath> robin_says_hi_, unless you got ntfs on it. o.o
[04:28] <robin_says_hi_> so i might as well give it a try then still have an old ide just in case :)
[04:28] <Hazarath> robin_says_hi_, it works off the bat.
[04:28] <stefg> bronze: so press F12 and see if you get a tilda window, click right and edit the preferences
[04:28] <robin_says_hi_> no im planing on purchasing a new sata drive
[04:29] <Ayabara> anyone using krusader? is there a way I can make it look more gnome-ish? like changing the fonts to be brown instead of blue?
[04:29] <SlimeyPete> robin_says_hi_: I'd suggest googling to see if your mobo's SATA chipset is supported by uuuntu, but in general Ubuntu plays nicely with SATA
[04:29] <bronze> stefg, What is editing the preferences going to help? I don't know what's causing the problem.
[04:30] <jacktheripper> can i install a vanilla kernel from kernel.org onto my ubunto machine
[04:30] <SlimeyPete> jacktheripper: yes.
[04:30] <jacktheripper> SlimeyPete, is there a howto
[04:30] <robin_says_hi_> @ all: thanks for the feedback
[04:30] <Hazarath> robin_says_hi_, No worries.
[04:30] <jacktheripper> SlimeyPete, for all the ubunto specific things i need to worry about
[04:30] <jacktheripper> i know how to build kernels
[04:31] <SlimeyPete> jacktheripper: just google for a kernel installation howto. The process is the same on Ubuntu as it is on any other linux distro.
[04:31] <troy_> Linux newbie needs help, I'm trying to make realplayer my default for watching videos on the internet, I have it installed but I'm not sure how to make it a plugin for mozilla
[04:31] <stefg> bronze: can be conflicting settings with being on top, or below. whatever, first configure it properly and see if the error persists
[04:31] <jacktheripper> SlimeyPete, have you done it yourself?
[04:31] <mariocesar_bo> Hi all, anyone can recommend a Image Manager like Picasa ( of course i don't want Picasa for Linux, :-) )
[04:31] <Pici> mariocesar_bo: Theres fspot
[04:31] <stefg> !info f-spot
[04:31] <ubotu> f-spot: personal photo management application. In component main, is optional. Version 0.3.5-0ubuntu2 (feisty), package size 1397 kB, installed size 7212 kB
[04:31] <SlimeyPete> jacktheripper: yeah... a while ago, though. It worked OK. I had to install gcc nd libc6-dev first though IIRC.
[04:31] <bronze> stefg, but what is "properlyl"? Should I edit the settings the way I want instead of the way I NEED?
[04:32] <mariocesar_bo> yea, but i am looking for other alternative. f-spot copy all my pictures on a folder. I don't want that
[04:32] <diego10> hola?
[04:32] <Pici> !es | diego10
[04:32] <ubotu> diego10: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[04:32] <stefg> bronze: the way you need it. the default setting might just not fit with your situation
[04:32] <diego10> pero este canal de que es?
[04:33] <stefg> !es
[04:33] <jacktheripper> SlimeyPete, what is evms and bootsplash
[04:33] <ikonia> enterprise volume manager, and bootsplash is the boot up splash screen
[04:34] <jacktheripper> like the starship enterprise?
[04:34] <troy_> does anyone know how to make realplayer the plugin for mozilla
[04:34] <ikonia> no
[04:34] <Pici> diego10: escribe /j #ubuntu-es or /j #ubuntu-pt
[04:34] <stefg> bronze: BTW i get that message, too. seems harmless, and if you add tilda to your gnome session you'll never see it
[04:34] <sebrock> does anyone know why portmap is trying to start twice at boot on my system?
[04:35] <sebrock> or how I can fix this
[04:35] <ikonia> portmapper on its own and perhaps being called by something like nfs
[04:36] <bronze> stefg, so can you help me to configure tilda so that it shows as a transparent console fullscreen on desktop 3?
[04:36] <ikonia> tilda is a key

[04:36] <jacktheripper> SlimeyPete, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild  wow....that is nothing like compiling a kernel on a normal distro
[04:37] <pike_> jacktheripper: i hate that page
[04:37] <mrfeetio> whats a normal tempature for a notebook pc?
[04:37] <dr_willis> mrfeetio,  you mean for the CPU on a notebook?

[04:37] <jacktheripper> wth kind of command is that to build a kernel
[04:37] <ShackJack> HI all - looking at putting Feisty on an Athlon 3400 vwith onboard Nvidia 6600... Anybody advise me of any pitfalls with regards to 64-bit processors and/or Nvida onboard graphics?
[04:37] <stefg> bronze: you just set it up to be 'not on top' and being the size of your desktop, open it on desktop 3 and save your gnome session and

[04:38] <mrfeetio> dr_willis"yeah
[04:38] <dr_willis> ShackJack,  theres no need to use the 64bit distrubition of ubuntu. Unless you have special needs.
[04:38] <Ze_M> i have deleted and readded a user but now says doesnt belong to passwd and i cant enter admin mode
[04:38] <mrfeetio> dr_willis: yeah
[04:38] <dr_willis> ShackJack,  shouldent have any issues.
[04:38] <Ze_M> how can i resolve this?
[04:38] <dr_willis> ShackJack,  with the normal 32bit version.
[04:38] <jacktheripper> make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --initrd --append-to-version=-some-string-here kernel-image kernel-headers
[04:38] <Ze_M> i have deleted and readded a user but now says doesnt belong to passwd and i cant enter admin mode,how can i resolve this?
[04:38] <ShackJack> dr_willis: But the 64 bit version has issues, you are saying?
[04:38] <zax1> any one know the irc channel for WAMP ?
[04:39] <dr_willis> ShackJack,  yes. it has several issues.
[04:39] <stefg> Ze_M: seems you are locked out. Boot to single mode (so you are root) and issue 'adduser <username> admin' to get it to the admin group
[04:39] <MitchM> I can not see the taskbar in KDE (Kubuntu) -- none of the items are found there.

[04:44] <stefg> mesut: man pidof
[04:45] <gyzmodo> where i can download modem driver for ZyXEL P-645?
[04:45] <mesut> stefg, ie application_name of gnome-terminal is "Terminal"
[04:45] <ShackJack> dr_willis: K - thanx, I figured it would - just looking for confimation... I trust it will be speedy enough...

[04:45] <AeroTwelve> Hey everyone. I have an Seagate External Hard drive that I'm trying to get working with Ubuntu. I can mount it and Ubuntu recognizes it fine, but it says it's only read only, even when I'm in root. Any help is appreciated.
[04:45] <stefg> mesut: ?? Don't get what you mean...
[04:45] <gyzmodo> dial-up?
[04:45] <Pici> mesut: xwininfo
[04:45] <pike_> AeroTwelve: its likely ntfs.
[04:46] <dr_willis> AeroTwelve,  let me guess.. its a NTFS partition. :)
[04:46] <pike_> !ntfs-3g | AeroTwelve
[04:46] <ubotu> AeroTwelve: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[04:46] <natbet> anyone know why network-manager-gnome won't connect to an unsecured wireless network? It just tries but never connects.
[04:46] <jacktheripper> natbet, maybe it is secured by mac addresses
[04:46] <AeroTwelve> Yep, that's right, it is in NTFS. Is writing to NTFS still experimental and prone to data loss?
[04:46] <stefg> natbet: because network manager is a pile of bugs /rant off
[04:46] <greg_g> join #linuxhelp
[04:46] <mesut> thanks Pici but i dont see application_name
[04:46] <Music_Shuffle> !ntfs | AeroTwelve
[04:46] <ubotu> AeroTwelve: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[04:46] <pike_> AeroTwelve: id confider reformating it fat32 though itll make it alot less painful to use in linux
[04:47] <greg_g> ignore that (obviously)
[04:47] <pike_> AeroTwelve: consider :)
[04:47] <ShackJack> natbet: Try restarting dbus (just a shot)... /etc/init.d/dbus restart
[04:47] <Pici> mesut: okay, one of the many things that xprop outputs is the application name
[04:47] <dr_willis> !ext2
[04:47] <ristiriita> !fuse
[04:47] <natbet> jacktheripper: nope, it's my router that has no security, if I tell it to connect manually it will, but not in roaming mode
[04:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ext2 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:47] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing using fuse here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[04:47] <dr_willis> !ext3
[04:47] <ubotu> ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org
[04:47] <jacktheripper> natbet, i dont know then
[04:47] <natbet> stefg: I agree, any other options for wpa networks?
[04:47] <jacktheripper> i avoid linux + wireless
[04:48] <akinax> Any Helpful tips if Flash has no sound?
[04:48] <mesut> Pici, yeah best way is xprop,but it is sometimes wrong, ie it cant say application_name for gnome-terminal
[04:48] <jacktheripper> akinax, add user to audio group
[04:48] <AeroTwelve> Alright, I'll probably go that route. Thanks, Pike.
[04:48] <Gnea> akinax: kill off any other sound apps
[04:48] <stefg> natbet: uninstall network manager and try to get wpa supplicant to work
[04:48] <dn4> Is there a reason why my ubuntu box is getting a huge circle over kentuky with this website: http://radar.weather.gov/ridge/Conus/full.php
[04:48] <natbet> ShackJack: I've tried that, it only helps if network manager won't find wireless networks, otherwise it just does the spinny circley thing and doesn't connect
[04:48] <akinax> jacktheripper: The Flash?
[04:48] <mesut> Pici, to be spesific,i was using "Terminal", but when i changed default locale,it seems application name of gnome_terminal is also changed :\
[04:49] <natbet> stefg: manually editing wpasupplicant.conf and adding it to /etc/networking/interfaces right?
[04:49] <akinax> Gnea: huh?
[04:49] <lllllll> Can somebody give me a brief explanation of what's in /dev/ ? I want to find my hard disk in there
[04:49] <Gnea> akinax: kill off any other sound apps.
[04:49] <stefg> natbet: along that lines.... (no specialist for that, still trusting to copper)
[04:49] <jacktheripper> dn4, that is what is on the web, its the server not the client
[04:49] <natbet> lllllll: it's the device folder
[04:49] <jacktheripper> thats the real data apparently
[04:49] <Gnea> akinax: flash is trying to access the sound device, which something else probably has a hold of
[04:50] <akinax> lllllll: It's the Device folder Anything which exists in the real world is in there
[04:50] <dn4> jacktheripper, :) interesting
[04:50] <lllllll> how would I find my hard disk in there?
[04:50] <natbet> stefg: yeah, that's how I used to do it in dapper, I had hoped that network manager would be better in feisty. copper?
[04:50] <akinax> Gnea: Should I do a lsof on something?
[04:50] <jacktheripper> dn4, apparently the radar there is on the fritz....
[04:50] <intangir> how can i install a ton of 32bit libs on a 64bit machine? for running 32bit apps?
[04:50] <akinax> lllllll: It will either be hd<something> or sd<something>
[04:50] <stefg> natbet: good'ole copper cable :-)
[04:50] <intangir> i need 32bit motif libs on a 64bit machine
[04:50] <jacktheripper> dn4, because it isnt raining outside :)
[04:50] <osxdude|laptop> lllllll: You cannot access it from there. You har disk should be either at "/" or "/media/"
[04:51] <Gnea> akinax: libasound
[04:51] <pike_> lllllll: dev just to look through it is a pain these days. theres alot of crap in there thanks to udev. sudo fdisk -l will tell you about hard drives
[04:51] <jacktheripper> intangir, install a 32-bit distro
[04:51] <natbet> stefg: I agree, I usually use that but sometimes you're in a coffee shop that only has wireless *sigh*
[04:51] <intangir> jacktheripper: i already have it as a 64bit distro
[04:51] <dn4> jacktheripper, wonder what causes that type of output hmm
[04:51] <jacktheripper> intangir, good luck then
[04:51] <jacktheripper> dn4, broken radar
[04:51] <Charles_Xavier> Hi, did anyone else upgrade the new nvidia glx today
[04:51] <jacktheripper> a plastic bag over the radar
[04:51] <jacktheripper> something
[04:52] <lllllll> I'm trying to copy my MBR, but I need to know whether its hda or sda. It looks like sda, but there are about 10 different labels like that
[04:52] <akinax> ahh I should mention this is gnash on 64bit Ubuntu
[04:52] <lllllll> Never mind, I think I've got it
[04:52] <jacktheripper> lllllll, get both of them.... and look at them with a hex editor and delete the one that isnt your mbr
[04:52] <dn4> jacktheripper, might need to call them up and ask
[04:52] <jacktheripper> lllllll, or type mount to figure out which is really your root
[04:52] <akinax> The easiest way is to look at grub
[04:52] <osxdude|laptop> MBP, you mean,lllllll
[04:53] <akinax> or type mount
[04:53] <Charles_Xavier> Hello, I have a Pentium 4 3.60ghz w/ HT (LGA 775) - In windows it showed the full 3.6ghz, but in ubuntu, it is underclocking it to 2.8ghz and forces my multiplier down to 14x, it was originally 18x - Any ideas??
[04:53] <lllllll> Yep. Whatever GRUB boots out of, anway
[04:53] <lllllll> Cheers
[04:53] <jacktheripper> Charles_Xavier, intel + microsoft are friends
[04:53] <Charles_Xavier> Yes, but that should not underclock my cpu
[04:53] <jacktheripper> intel has been bloating clock speeds for years
[04:53] <osxdude|laptop> Xavier: either windows is lying, or ubuntu is lying
[04:53] <Charles_Xavier> if I use ubuntu
[04:54] <Charles_Xavier> Windows is not lying lol
[04:54] <\x6e\x65\x72\x64> Charles_Xavier, do you have speedstep enabled?
[04:54] <jacktheripper> windows just reports it differently, you got taken for a fool!
[04:54] <Charles_Xavier> What is speedstep
[04:54] <snake> hi all
[04:54] <\x6e\x65\x72\x64> Charles_Xavier, try running something cpu intensive
[04:54] <\x6e\x65\x72\x64> and see if your clock returns to normal
[04:54] <stefg> Charles_Xavier: either an acpi issue, or the clever powernowd only clocks it up when needed
[04:54] <Charles_Xavier> Ive tried 2 windows versions, XP and 2000, and they both showed 3.6
[04:54] <Charles_Xavier> EVEN slackware showed 3.6
[04:54] <snake> i just resized the linux partition and now when i boot it says grub loading, please wait Error 22
[04:55] <Charles_Xavier> but only ubuntu is showing 2.8
[04:55] <Charles_Xavier> I do not know why

[04:55] <Charles_Xavier> no nothing offensive

[04:55] <jacktheripper> ubuntu is not slackware
[04:56] <Antoni> hi everybody
[04:56] <Charles_Xavier> yes, I know, but you said microsoft and intel are friends, but I'm replying that slackware showed 3.6, so its not a problem with linux itsself
[04:56] <jacktheripper> dn4, yeah...id have to guess these things happen daily momentarily
[04:56] <Charles_Xavier> I think a driver in ubuntu might be underclocking it
[04:56] <jacktheripper> Charles_Xavier, lol :) good call
