[00:00] <larson999> adelie42, a multimedia keyboard?
[00:00] <IndyGunFreak> ajhtiredwolf: so ar you trying to ovewrite fedora?.
[00:00] <BronxAngel> WGGMk: yes i can do it for myself but no the other pcs. it hits the router but ends there
[00:00] <GERD_MD> ok.. thanks for nada
[00:00] <singlesun> danbhfive, lol alright i will do some searching.. thanks
[00:00] <erUSUL> Taylor: try to boot X either with "startx" or "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start"
[00:00] <adelie42> Dr_willis: ok, fine. I want F3 to open gnome-terminal
[00:00] <DASPRiD> WGGMk, if u use ext3: there are also 5% of your disk reserved for root only
[00:00] <xomp> in totem I get a green video screen with the progress bar going along as normal. With Mplayer I get "Cannot use codec" or something of the sorts.
[00:00] <EsxPro> Taylor, you want to run wine in text mode?
[00:00] <ajhtiredwolf> IndyGunFreak: yep yep that is correct
[00:00] <DASPRiD> (or was it 1 %)
[00:00] <WGGMk> ajhtiredwolf: i see, if you boot from the LiveCD it has a program called gparted with it.. which allows you to manipulate your partitions as you'd like. Its located System > Administration > Partition Tools (I think, or GParted)
[00:00] <Taylor> No, I want my normal Ubuntu back. >.<
[00:00] <danbhfive> !wireless > singlesun see the pm, and see if that gets ya started
[00:00] <IndyGunFreak> ajhtiredwolf: are you using the live CD, or hte alternate install CD?
[00:01] <Dr_willis> adelie42,  gnome has its own keyboard bindings feature. No idea if it can run arbitary apps on f keys however.
[00:01] <vboxer> anyone here got PAM authentication to work with VirtualBox VRDP?
[00:01] <Vadi> How can I check if the ndiswrapper module is loaded? For some reason, it's not recognizing my wireless card anymore when I insert it (properly at least).
[00:01] <gilles_> quelqu'un parle t il francais?
[00:01] <Gidean> when I boot up my comp sits ar Running local boot scripts (etc/rc.local) until I hit enter...any advice?

[00:02] <WGGMk> DASPRiD: Flannel: so my system is perfectly fine setup with this LVM, this truly is no hidden space/partition that im not seeing? or some mysterious reason I would be missing space?? (im a bit paranoid sometimes lol)
[00:02] <adelie42> Dr_willis: hmm...
[00:02] <johnficca> how do I apply a patch to some source code before I compile?
[00:02] <Taylor> erUSUL: I'll go try those, hopefully I'll have better luck. >.< Thanks.

[00:02] <rsom> Hi, sorry but, I would like to know if anyone knew a way to format a fat32 ipod to HFS+ without using wine for itunes. I use linux mint (4.0 I think? newist version).
[00:03] <edico> hello
[00:03] <Dr_willis> adelie42,  i alwyas  have a terminal icon on the panel. and a few terminals open. :) so F3 launching a new terminal woulb not be handy for me
[00:03] <BronxAngel> DNS handles translation of hostname to ip?
[00:03] <EsxPro> Taylor, did you change usplash?
[00:03] <tdoggette> I installed Hardy Alpha 3 with update-manager -d. Will the automatic updates get me up to Alpha 4 and beyond, all the way to production?
[00:04] <WGGMk> BronxAngel: thats exactly what a DNS does
[00:04] <danbhfive> tdoggette: yes, if it doesnt trash your system first
[00:04] <Flannel> tdoggette: yes.  And hardy support is in #ubuntu+1
[00:04] <Dr_willis> tdoggette,  they should  :) and its #Ubuntu+1 for that
[00:04] <adelie42> Dr_willis: I got the icon too, but it would just be nice to have terminal control from the keyboard, aside from alt-tab to something already open, or Ctrl-Alt-F#
[00:04] <edico> debian has an official forum?

[00:04] <Flannel> WGGMk: No, there isnt.  I know usually theres something like 5% or so setup for filesystem record keeping and stuff.  That could be it.  But no, I don't see anything abnormal.  The LVM partition takes up the rest of the space.  Oh.  I suppose you might have free LVM space.  What does the second to the last line of sudo vgdisplay show?
[00:04] <BronxAngel> WGGMk: so it could be that my stupid router is looking for my hostnames based on the dns it gets from my cable modem?
[00:05] <danbhfive> adelie42: System > Preferences > Keyboard Shorcuts    you will find what you are looking for there
[00:05] <Dr_willis> adelie42,  im faster at alt-tabing then reaching to hit f3, which may or may not be used in other apps..  :) so  good luck
[00:05] <Gamer> Ikiona, may I PM you?
[00:05] <tdoggette> Oh, wow, guys. I'm sorry.

[00:05] <Gamer> I have a serious problem
[00:05] <Dr_willis> Gamer,  its best just to state the problem.
[00:05] <WGGMk> Flannel: 0 / 0
[00:05] <Gamer> could anyone help me with this damn hard problem?
[00:05] <Flannel> tdoggette: Its no big deal.  People are overreacting.  Once youhave hardy, you have hardy.  The alpha number only matters for the ISOs themselves.  AFter that, you're riding on the repository
[00:06] <Gamer> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/11665
[00:06] <Gamer> thats my problem
[00:06] <adelie42> danbhfive: how do I create a new action?
[00:06] <Dr_willis> Gamer,  perhaps summerize it a bit?
[00:06] <Flannel> WGGMk: then yeah, you're full.  The 5GB is about 5%, so I imagine thats whats causing it
[00:06] <WGGMk> BronxAngel: thats a good question, and you maybe have reached my limits.. are these newly installed machines? forgive me if you answered this already

[00:07] <WGGMk> BronxAngel: less then 24 hours new?
[00:07] <danbhfive> adelie42: I don't know
[00:07] <Dr_willis> Gamer,  you have searched the bug reports/forums for others with similer issues?   The Kernel developers dont hangin here much from what ive seen.
[00:07] <adelie42> danbhfive: there sure are a lot of options to not have the ability to add any...
[00:07] <Gamer> I've searched a lot

[00:08] <BronxAngel> how is that relevent?
[00:08] <Gamer> couldnt they fix it already

[00:09] <PriceChild> DRebellion, its turned on per channel. not in here though
[00:09] <WGGMk> BronxAngel: can you give me some more detail on your LAN setup
[00:09] <DRebellion> belorix: 1) don't change your nick 2) wireless support is improving all the time so i _strongly_ recommend you upgrade to gutsy
[00:09] <Slart> Gamer: =)
[00:09] <DRebellion> PriceChild: thats just an annoying and pointless imho
[00:09] <Gamer> pfffff, I am clueless
[00:09] <belorix> i would but i cannot get onto teh internet to get updates
[00:09] <Slart> Gamer: perhaps you should try the latest hardy...
[00:09] <Gamer> hardy?
[00:09] <PriceChild> Slart, please don't suggest that
[00:09] <PriceChild> Gamer, please don't do that
[00:10] <DRebellion> belorix: download the gutsy iso and do a clean install then
[00:10] <WGGMk> ajhtiredwolf: Im not sure I can help you would if gparted is crashing.. you can  use fdisk which is command line driven but i would recommend you not use that unless you know what partitions are what..
[00:10] <Gamer> what's it?

[00:10] <belorix> ok
[00:10] <Gamer> well
[00:10] <Gamer> that takes some time
[00:10] <BronxAngel> i have a WRTP54G 3 pcs connected to it
[00:10] <larson999> oh boy.  64bit was soooo bugy, i decided to upgrade gutsy to hardy :)
[00:10] <larson999> i'm a moron!
[00:10] <Slart> PriceChild: why not? if the hardy live cd works then we'll know it's something in the current ubuntu distro..
[00:11] <adelie42> danbhfive: it also doesn't like me using F3, but whatever... compromized. thanks for the help
[00:11] <xomp> Totem can't play .ogg files (or any file for that matter). Mplayer was installed and it too cannot play .ogg files (or any file for that matter). Can someone please help me? Please?
[00:11] <ajhtiredwol1> WGGMk: Well as long as I know which partition that fedora is on then i should just be able to isntall on that one... the weird thing is though .. I see the NTFS file systems but i dont see the LVM systems when it brings up the partition menu
[00:11] <Lokii-> Gamer anything worth doing is gonna take time :)
[00:11] <BronxAngel> WGGMk: the WRTP54G is the router and i have 3 pcs connected to it. 2 of which have static ips..i just thought of something. bbr
[00:11] <Gamer> yeah, I'll built a new network card in this pc
[00:11] <Gamer> then
[00:11] <larson999> i hit the thrift store lotto: a ebookman and internet radio all for $20
[00:11] <Gamer> takes too much damn time
[00:12] <Gamer> I have some more network cards here

[00:12] <Dekkharyn> Hi guys, I've been looking around the support forum and wiki all day, I've been trying to find a bootable floppy that will then load ubuntu from usb, I've got Ubuntu installed to USB just as the support stuff says, but can't make the floppy - tried this, http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/Boot_Floppies - found via google, but fails when it boots
[00:12] <danbhfive> adelie42: well, there is an option to open a terminal
[00:13] <Dekkharyn> does anyone have a resource handy, like a ubuntu floppy usb-bootstrapper image?
[00:13] <DRebellion> !grub | Dekkharyn
[00:13] <ubotu> Dekkharyn: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[00:13] <adelie42> danbhfive: yeah, I found it
[00:13] <danbhfive> adelie42: maybe you can just write a bash script for the other things
[00:13] <Dekkharyn> DRebellion: So if I make a GRUB floppy it'll let me boot off USB?
[00:13] <adelie42> danbhfive: got that already ;)
[00:13] <DRebellion> Dekkharyn: i think...
[00:13] <WGGMk> BronxAngel: i need to restart my system, i shall return
[00:14] <larson999> i hope this is better.  my wife is PO'd because i upgrade her machine from 32bit feisty to 64bit gutsy.  she was so happy with feisty compared to vista.  hope i don't make her go back :(
[00:14] <Dekkharyn> DRebellion: BIOS doesn't support direct boot from usb, which is why I need something to do that, I'll check it out
[00:14] <Slart> PriceChild: shesh.. did you even read what the problem was? current ubuntu doesn't work.. the 3c59x module has had bugs... might still be some left.. why not just boot a hardy live cd? what's so bad about it? it's not like the computer is usable as it is
[00:14] <PriceChild> Slart, because hardy is not ready for end users.
[00:14] <PriceChild> Slart, you will just cause more problems.
[00:15] <Dekkharyn> thanks DRebellion
[00:15] <adelie42> Dekkharyn: openbios supports it, if that is an option in this case. I know award / phoenix bios generally doesn't support it
[00:15] <maybeway36> Maybe use feisty backprots then
[00:16] <xomp> Totem can't play .ogg files (or any file for that matter). Mplayer was installed and it too cannot play .ogg files (or any file for that matter). Can someone please help me? Please?
[00:16] <adelie42> xomp: do you have other media decoders installed... like gstreamer or the such?
[00:16] <spoon> xomp: try vlc
[00:17] <xomp> adelie42, not that I know of. This is stock Gutsy install with the exception that I downloaded Mplayer from Synaptic. I've not changed/added anything else.
[00:17] <IndyGunFreak> rsom: why are you trying to format your IPOD?
[00:17] <Slart> Gamer: well.. good luck getting that network card working.. I'm off to bed
[00:17] <Gamer> thanks
[00:17] <Gamer> good night
[00:17] <Pelo> IndyGunFreak, know anything about weird cups setup ?
[00:17] <Gamer> I'll be off soon too
[00:17] <Gamer> oh and
[00:17] <Gamer> I'll replace it
[00:17] <IndyGunFreak> Pelo: not a thing, i don't own a printer...lol
[00:17] <Gamer> I think
[00:17] <rsom> So that it can be read on a ibook g4
[00:17] <Gamer> this is no go
[00:18] <b4l74z4r> what is the difference between gksu and gksudo?
[00:18]  * Pelo crosses IndyGunFreak 's name off the 1337 list
[00:18] <IndyGunFreak> Pelo: lol.
[00:18] <Pelo> b4l74z4r, same thing
[00:18] <DRebellion> b4l74z4r: i think they are the same
[00:18] <b4l74z4r> ok
[00:18] <IndyGunFreak> rsom: oh ok.. id ont' know, iv'e got my IPods working between Linux and XP fine, but Linux aned Mac, i don't know.
[00:18] <DRebellion> b4l74z4r: gksudo is a link to /usr/bin/gksu
[00:19] <rsom> I just don't want to use wine for itunes. It never works and crashes.
[00:19] <rsom> But I'll try it
[00:19] <rsom> Thank you
[00:19] <IndyGunFreak> rsom: so don't use wine..., use amarok, or gtkpod, or whatever
[00:19] <b4l74z4r> could gksu be more reliable in some cases since it's not a link?
[00:19] <rsom> I couldn't find a formatting option in amarok
[00:19] <rsom> but I haven't tried gtkpod
[00:19] <IndyGunFreak> rsom: oh ok.. maybe gtkpod?.. i don't know.
[00:20] <rsom> ok I'll try that then
[00:20] <rsom> thanks
[00:20] <knopper67> b4l74z4r: it doesn't really make any difference
[00:20] <b4l74z4r> ok
[00:21]  * Pelo is gonna try to get help in #debian, hopefully he'll get out of there alive
[00:22] <b4l74z4r> what is the difference between running nautilus in gksudo mode as opposed to sudo mode?
[00:22] <maybeway36> gksudo mode uses root's config files instead of breaking your own
[00:22] <maybeway36> i had that expierence with kdesudo back when it was broken :(
[00:22] <HipHopFan85> hey
[00:22] <b4l74z4r> so gksudo should always be used for graphical purposes?
[00:23] <IndyGunFreak> b4l74z4r: pretty much
[00:23] <Taylor> erUSUL: Okay, that didn't work. I got: "xinit: Connection reset by peer (errno 104): unable to connect to X server" and "xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error"
[00:23] <b4l74z4r> ok
[00:23] <HipHopFan85> who can help me with this?:D
[00:23] <Dekkharyn> DRebellion: Sorry dude, I'm looking at the ubuntu guide for grub, it doesn't say anything about usb? Maybe you just have to specify the right drive name or somethign?
[00:23] <IndyGunFreak> HipHopFan85: what is *this*
[00:23] <maybeway36> HipHopFan85: with what?
[00:23] <HipHopFan85> kernel: losing some ticks chanking if CPU frequency changed
[00:23] <HipHopFan85> then complete freeze of system
[00:24] <quittt> hello
[00:24] <ajhtiredwol1> WGGMk: Ok I got it to work this time and it looks like sdb7 is the current boot partition and the sedb8 is where the fedora install is
[00:24] <HipHopFan85> i found that in my /var/log/messages
[00:24] <Dekkharyn> DRebellion: that is to say there's nothing blatantly obvious going "this is how to make it boot from usb"
[00:24] <quittt> which is the best eMule clone for Ubuntu:
[00:24] <quittt> ?
[00:24] <WGGMk> ajhtiredwol1: glad to hear everything is working for ya
[00:24] <EsxPro> quittt, mldonkey.?
[00:25] <BronxAngel> should my router be listed under resolve.conf?
[00:25] <knopper67> quittt: try amule, it's in the repositories.
[00:25] <ajhtiredwol1> WGGMk: so here is my quesiton then, how do I tell it to install the boot loader on sdb7 and overwrite the current grub boot loader and then tell it to install ubuntu on the sdb8?

[00:25] <quittt> knopper67, I've tried it, but it don't connect to the most of servers
[00:25] <quittt> doesn't*
[00:25] <HipHopFan85> who can help me with Ubuntu problem??:D
[00:25] <knopper67> quitt: ah, alright, what about frostwire?
[00:26] <BronxAngel> WGGMk: should my router be listed under resolv.conf?
[00:26] <WGGMk> ajhtiredwol1: i would imagine you need to setup a custom partition to do that, which really im not good at doing.. but you would use manual install
[00:26] <onexused> HipHopFan85: Don't ask to ask, just ask is the general rule.
[00:26] <HipHopFan85> BronxAngel only if its going to be your DNS server
[00:26] <HipHopFan85> :D
[00:26] <ajhtiredwol1> WGGMk: do you know of someone in here who is good at taht?
[00:26] <EsxPro> Taylor, you goyt any error message after a stratx?
[00:26] <DRebellion> Dekkharyn: maybe you can do something from the "grub prompt"
[00:26] <WGGMk> BronxAngel: i would think not. its not serving DNS is it?
[00:26] <EsxPro> startx*
[00:26] <BagelMaster> Does anyone have any experience with MADWIFI?
[00:26] <WGGMk> ajhtiredwol1: best to just ask in chat mate
[00:27] <DRebellion> !anyone | BagelMaster
[00:27] <ubotu> BagelMaster: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[00:27] <ajhtiredwol1> WGGMk: thanks anyway
[00:27] <DRebellion> BagelMaster: you still here ay?
[00:27] <Taylor> EsxPro: Yeah, I think it was those ones above. ...or it was the "Fatal server error: no screens found"
[00:27] <BagelMaster> DRebellion, yup
[00:27] <DRebellion> BagelMaster: heh
[00:27] <BagelMaster> Madwifi looks like the best option
[00:27] <HipHopFan85> anyone ever had this problem? Kernel: Losing some ticks checking to see if CPU frequency changed

[00:28] <HipHopFan85> BronxAngel: What is it that you have problems with?
[00:28] <jrib> !ubotu > onexused (read the private message from ubotu)
[00:28] <Dekkharyn> still, I think I'll try it again
[00:28] <Dekkharyn> thanks!
[00:28] <b4l74z4r> jrib: is it a secret feature, cause i discovered it by chance
[00:28] <WGGMk> BronxAngel: how is your LAN setup.. is it Modem >> Server >> Router >> PC's?
[00:28] <onexused> jrib: thanks
[00:28] <bluefoxx> ok, so my wifi card works fine in linux automatically but theres a lack of tools for detecting wireless networks in range of it to connect to, as far as i can tell
[00:28] <DRebellion> Dekkharyn: dive in!
[00:29] <BronxAngel> HipHopFan85: pcs behind same router can only ping by ip. not host name
[00:29] <lordleemo> bluefox try wicd
[00:29] <EsxPro> Taylor, for me it come from xorg.conf
[00:29] <xomp> wow, guess what? VLC can't play an .ogg file either... I've installed player after player here and none of them seem to be capable of playing a simple .ogg file. If this is to be expected from a base install of Gutsy then I feel badly for the linux community and it's ability to retain new users.....
[00:29] <jrib> b4l74z4r: not really a secret feature, no.  You can configure the keyboard shortcut in system -> preferences -> keyboard shortcuts
[00:29] <b4l74z4r> ok
[00:29] <BronxAngel> WGGMk: cable modem --> router --> 2 pcs
[00:29] <Taylor> EsxPro: What comes from xorg.conf?
[00:29] <nemilar> xomp: did you install the ogg codecs? ;)
[00:29] <bluefoxx> also, it seems that if i mess around with network configurations it crashes and refuses to connect unless i reboot[im on my shoddy wired connection right now]
[00:29] <jrib> xomp: gutsy can play .ogg ootb.  Try /etc/skel/Examples/Experience ubuntu.ogg
[00:29] <HipHopFan85> do you maybe need to set your router as default gataway?
[00:29] <bluefoxx> anyone have any thoughts
[00:29] <bluefoxx> ?
[00:30] <WGGMk> BronxAngel: then your server's resolv.conf does not need to be changed, nor does your PC's resolv.conf because everything is going to be using your ISP's DNS to resolve externally
[00:30] <EsxPro> Taylor, try this sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org
[00:30] <xomp> jrib, nemilar I get a green screen with Totem, Blue screen with VLC, and an error message with Mplayer.
[00:30] <|DuReX|> is there a website where i can see supported Tapestreamers & SCSI Controllers ?
[00:30] <WGGMk> HipHopFan85: BronxAngel: his router should pass this info to the PC's if its serving DHCP
[00:30] <xomp> nemilar, where would these codecs be?
[00:30] <nemilar> xomp: What's the error message?  And, did you install the codecs?
[00:30] <danbhfive> bluefoxx: ive had the same problem.  Getting a good signal was the fix for me
[00:31] <knopper67> xorp: what is the error mplayer gives you?
[00:31] <jrib> xomp: ogg is a container format, so you are probably missing the codec it uses.  In any case, try the file I suggested to see if that works first
[00:31] <Kevin`> |DuReX| most manufacturers will specifically say it's supported, as it's a server component
[00:31] <xomp> nemilar, could not open codec in Mplayer
[00:31] <Taylor> EsxPro: Tried that, actually, to no avail. It couldn't find it, or something along those lines.
[00:31] <Kevin`> (also, most are supported)
[00:31] <BagelMaster> Where can I find bin86 in order to setup madwifi?
[00:31] <HipHopFan85> WGGMk: I agree but how is his server set up..thats what confuses me
[00:31] <HipHopFan85> :D
[00:31] <mikebot> Is there a way to add a folder to my main menu so that I can browse through the subfolders and so on?
[00:31] <BronxAngel> HipHopFan85: WGGMk: the router serves .100 - .149 for dhcp but all my pcs are .10 - .99. could this be the issue?
[00:31] <bluefoxx> danbhfive: well it refuses to connect period, even though my main connection is a wired ethernet one
[00:31] <DRebellion> xomp: hrm that file works ootb for me with only mplayer installed :/
[00:31] <EsxPro> Taylor, ati gc?
[00:31] <DRebellion> BagelMaster: sudo apt-get install bin86
[00:32] <knopper67> xomp: did you install any additional codecs after you installed gutsy?
[00:32] <Taylor> EsxPro: I tried "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start", too, and it just gave: [ OK ]
[00:32] <jrib> mikebot: you can edit the menu, just right click on the ubuntu icon and "edit menu".  You can't really do what you asked though afaik
[00:32] <BagelMaster> DRebellion: I get
[00:32] <Taylor> EsxPro: Integrated video card; 945GM Family, Intel
[00:32] <danbhfive> bluefoxx: even the wired doesnt work?
[00:32] <xomp> knopper67, I've installed 0 codecs. I've simply grabbed Mplayer & VLC from Synaptic today as suggested.
[00:32] <WGGMk> BronxAngel: HipHopFan85: if your router is serving DHCP to the PC's and the Server, then it is not a LAN issue.. if your router is just an ACCESS POINT for the PC's to get to the server which is serving DHCP then the problem lye's on your server's DNS records
[00:32] <HipHopFan85> BronxAngel: It means your PC's are not being given by DHCP server.Are you sure they are not set to static?
[00:32] <bluefoxx> lordleemo: wicd: package does not ecist
[00:32] <mikebot> jrib: When I did that I couldn't figure out how to add a folder
[00:33] <BagelMaster> DRebellion: I get "Reading package lists... DONE"  "Reading state information... DONE" and "E: Couldn't find package bin86"
[00:33] <bluefoxx> danbhfive: nope, if i reconfigure it at all it drops the connection alltogether
[00:33] <xomp> knopper67, I've been told continually that .ogg is a natively supported container ootb, but I'm experiencing different :/
[00:33] <jrib> mikebot: "new menu"
[00:33] <toresn> how do i make xlsfonts recognize the fonts i've installed... i've downloaded a font and put it in my ~/.fonts ... it's recognised by i.e. openoffice
[00:33] <DRebellion> BagelMaster: i have bin86 in my repos
[00:33] <najzlijiji> where can i find boot log?
[00:33] <HipHopFan85> WGGmk: Set them static and they wont be in DHCP range.Is your internet working on those machine?
[00:33] <ConstyXIV> can you have ubuntu cleanly unmount your removable drives on standby?
[00:33] <toresn> *recognized
[00:33] <mikebot> jrib: RIght, but like, I want to be able to add a folder that has a bunch of stuff, and then browse through that stuff from the main menu.
[00:33] <BagelMaster> DRebellion:  So were could I get it?
[00:34] <awmcclain> Hey all... can I use apt instead of dpkg to install a debian package I built myself?
[00:34] <WGGMk> HipHopFan85 wrong person
[00:34] <xomp> jrib, when trying to open that file in VLC I get: Unable to open '/etc/skel/Examples/Experience'
[00:34] <xomp> Unable to open 'ubuntu.ogg'
[00:34] <lordleemo> bluefox get it from sourceforge google wicd
[00:34] <jrib> mikebot: yes, I don't think you can do that.  You can just add stuff one by one
[00:34] <jrib> xomp: you need to escape the space
[00:34] <DRebellion> BagelMaster: check, system -> administration -> software sources
[00:34] <bluefoxx> lordleemo: ok, will try that, ty
[00:34] <knopper67> xomp: it's in /usr/share/example-content/
[00:34] <mikebot> jrib: And you can't add subfolders and stuff either.
[00:34] <WGGMk> BronxAngel: does your server have 2 ethernet adapters? 1 coming in from modem and 1 going out to router? or do you just have the server attached to the router?
[00:34] <DRebellion> BagelMaster: its in the main repository
[00:35] <danbhfive> bluefoxx: i dunno then, id suggest to at least make sure you are updated
[00:35] <mikebot> jrib: Basically I want it like in Windows start menu when you add a folder you can expand the sub-folders and so on.
[00:35] <ajhtiredwol1> Is the root file the boot partition?
[00:35] <danand_> awmcclain - think you can do - but you have to create a local repository - why not just use dpkg??
[00:35] <BagelMaster> Drebellion: I am not connected to the internet on that computer... I am talking to you from a Mac
[00:35] <xomp> knopper67, that file also plays but nothing but a blue screen in the player. The progress bar goes along merrily.

[00:35] <b4l74z4r> i tried to create a launcher for the filebrowser by putting gksudo in front of natilus in the command line but nothing happens when i click this launcher
[00:36] <jrib> mikebot: yes, I don't think you can do that
[00:36] <BronxAngel> WGGMk: HipHopFan85: i have forced both computers to use a static ip outside of the router's dhcp range. the router has it's own lan ip <IP_ADDRESS> but the cable modem connected to the router has an ip of 64.4.xx.xxi call the ubuntu server a server but it is not serving anything now. i want to turn it into a file server
[00:36] <mohbana> is there a good audio player with a big seek bar beside rhythmbox
[00:36] <EsxPro> try this Taylor sudo aptitude install xorg-driver-fglrx
[00:36] <mikebot> jrib: Dang, OK, thanks.
[00:36] <bluefoxx> danbhfive: its an brandnew installation i just did today, everyuthing is updated, but i want to get the wifi working for a faster connection before i update
[00:36] <knopper67> xorp: if it's a blue sceen, then it's probably a video driver issue or something.
[00:36] <xomp> knopper67, xorp? hehe
[00:36] <Taylor> Alright, thanks EsxPro. I'll be back. >.<
[00:36] <knopper67> oh sorry...lol
[00:36] <mohbana> alot of people having issues with nvidia cards, this quiet a big issue
[00:36] <jrib> b4l74z4r: you really shouldn't need such a thing, but pastebin what you did
[00:37] <xomp> knopper67, lol np ;) I actually got a chuckle out of that.
[00:37] <bluefoxx> danbhfive: i only get 30kb/s on my "broadband" connection
[00:37] <DRebellion> mohbana: complain and they might go open source
[00:37] <knopper67> xomp: what video card do you have?
[00:37] <Jack_Sparrow> EsxPro: What card did he have in that?
[00:37] <mohbana> DRebellion, you think so?
[00:37] <danbhfive> bluefoxx: yeah, but what if an update fixes the problem?

[00:38] <atcla> how to use console on ubundu ?

[00:39] <xomp> knopper67, I'm assuming so, I'm capable of running compiz fusion with full effects
[00:39] <kenan> Can someone please send me the link where I can download the deb version of OO?
[00:39] <nemilar> kenan: OO.o is in repos
[00:39] <WGGMk> HipHopFan85: sorry forgot to copy your name in there.. i told him to power cycle everything
[00:39] <kenan> nemilar: i want to download from the website
[00:39] <knopper67> xomp: try disabling compiz fusion and play the ogg file again, see how that works
[00:39] <EsxPro> Jack_Sparrow, intel 945m exactely
[00:39] <bluefoxx> lordleemo: ok, i found the wicd thing, but why isnt it in the repos?
[00:39] <HipHopFan85> WGGMk: i think /etc/rc.d/named restart
[00:39] <devils-haven> Can any one help me setup my resolution to 1360x768?
[00:39] <HipHopFan85> WGGMk: would be better..
[00:39] <HipHopFan85> :D
[00:39] <danbhfive> bluefoxx: I forget, have you tried iwconfig?
[00:39] <xomp> knopper67, ok
[00:40] <Jack_Sparrow> EsxPro: I didnt think the fglrx would work on intel.. thought it was ati only
[00:40] <HipHopFan85> WGGMk: I still dont understand what he is trying to do :]
[00:40] <WGGMk> HipHopFan85: i would agree if it was only 1 system, but he said he's having problems on all systems

[00:40] <WGGMk> HipHopFan85: im not sure either.. if he can ping with ip and not hostname, 9 times out of 10 its DNS
[00:41] <HipHopFan85> WGGMk: Works of all systems :D ipconfig /flushdns on other machine
[00:41] <HipHopFan85> WGGmk: Does the server even have a name?:D
[00:41] <WGGMk> HipHopFan85: but still he router would pass all DHCP info to the server
[00:41] <knopper67> xomp: any luck yet?
[00:41] <WGGMk> hiphopfan85: it should lol
[00:41] <mkquist> hey all, anyone any thoughts, install ubuntu alternate, comp powers down fine, use xubuntu install cd and wont power all the way down, like actually turn off...
[00:41] <lordleemo> bluefox on the  sourceforge website it shows how to install in ubuntu
[00:41] <xomp> knopper67, nope, same thing after disabling compiz
[00:41] <bluefoxx> danbhfive: not yet, im still farely new to netowrking period, only time i used wifi b4 was on my laptop[s]and those ran windows[urrg, thats what destroyed my system today]
[00:41] <AngryElf> is a SQUASHFS error while trying to boot the live CD basically a screwed up liveCD?
[00:42] <HipHopFan85> WGGMk: Helpdesk support learns you a thing or two.. dont trust people :D
[00:42] <najzlijiji> can somebody help me
[00:42] <HipHopFan85> WGGMk: Can you help me with something?
[00:42] <najzlijiji> i need to enable 5 in 1 card reader
[00:42] <mkquist> najzlijiji: as your question
[00:42] <mkquist> najzlijiji: ask*
[00:42] <WGGMk> HipHopFan85: I can try, shoot
[00:42] <bluefoxx> lordleemo: yea, i see that now, thanks =3
[00:42] <HipHopFan85> najzliliji: Sta treba?:D
[00:42] <root_> Hey all, how do I stop my console from blanking
[00:42] <root_> its like xset or somehting
[00:42] <Jack_Sparrow> najzlijiji: If it is one of the built in card readers (especially laptop) not many drivers are available
[00:42] <Davey24> hi, does anyone know what the differences are between the dell version of 7.10 shipping on the m1330 is and the version you download from the ubuntu website?
[00:42] <mkquist> najzlijiji: mine just works, what are u using? gutsy?
[00:43] <jrib> root_: are you root right now?
[00:43] <najzlijiji> but on the boot time it says cannot enable port 8  maybe the USB cable is bad?
[00:43] <satoris> I've an issue in compiz ... it's the mouse
[00:43] <knopper67> xomp: weird... as for the codec issue ogg is the container format for the actual encoded video. the file you were trying to play before was probably encoded in mpeg but inside and ogg file
[00:43] <satoris> sometime it got just crazy
[00:43] <root_> jrib:  no, this is a joke to get people to tell me DONT IRC AS ROOT
[00:43] <wolfman2323> hi.. i was trying to run this cmd in the shell " sudo synce-serial-start" but it wont start..
[00:43] <WGGMk> Davey24: I would guess its customized to your hardware
[00:43] <knopper67> an*
[00:43] <HipHopFan85> WGGMk: I put the new Ubuntu cd and it runs fine for few minutes then it freezes.Like totally freez I have to restart it
[00:43] <mo0n_sniper> :))
[00:43] <mo0n_sniper> @root_
[00:43] <xomp> knopper67, funny thing is, I'm not sure if you're familiar with Istanbul, but when you're finished recording a desktop session you are prompted to save the file, in that box you are able to "preview" the screen recording and the video plays a treat in that but not in a standalone player like Mplayer or VLC lol
[00:43] <jrib> root_: hilarious... anyway, what do you mean by "blanking"?
[00:43] <Jack_Sparrow> jrib: I got a great alsa script from crimsun ,, have ost of it converted to a module already
[00:43] <WGGMk> HipHopFan85: define new? Hardy? or Gutsy?
[00:43] <root_> jrib:  the screen "blanks" like a screensaver
[00:44] <satoris> can someone help me out? this is unespected... mostly when I play FPS games LoL
[00:44] <root_> I used to know the command to stop it
[00:44] <root_> butr i have forogtten
[00:44] <Davey24> Does anyone know where do download the Dell version then?
[00:44] <HipHopFan85> WGGMk: Ubuntu 7.10
[00:44] <jrib> root_: well 'man xset' has "noblank" at the top, but I have no idea if that does what you want
[00:44] <mo0n_sniper> root_ anyway why running irc as root is stupid?
[00:44] <bod_> and pointless
[00:44] <WGGMk> HipHopFan85: so it only freeze's during the LiveCD? you running a laptop or old hardware?
[00:44] <Jack_Sparrow> satoris: Ask in #Compiz... they can help tweak things.. but best to turn compiz off for best performance
[00:44] <knopper67> xomp, do you have any  issues with music files as well?
[00:45] <mkquist> najzlijiji: sry cant respond in there apparently right now, but i have a card reading installed and ubuntu just sees it
[00:45] <wolfman2323> is it possible to sync imate to ubuntu
[00:45] <satoris> I know
[00:45] <HipHopFan85> WGGMk: I have the same problem with OpenSUSE it runs fine for few minutes then it freezes
[00:45] <knopper67> xomp: *ogg files*
[00:45] <xomp> knopper67, I've not tried any audio files, but system sounds play fine.
[00:45] <satoris> but it's not about compiz ...
[00:45] <satoris> something is wrong qith the mouse
[00:45] <HipHopFan85> WGGMk: Desktop AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 2.0 Ghz
[00:45] <satoris> it moves alone sometimes
[00:45] <bod_> satoris, what is your problem?
[00:45] <mo0n_sniper> it's possesed
[00:45] <najzlijiji> ok and front side USB reader (hub) is not working also
[00:45] <Jack_Sparrow> satoris: Does it happen with compiz off
[00:45] <knopper67> xomp, so, i'm guessing its a video driver issue, but thats only have the story
[00:45] <WGGMk> HipHopFan85: you running x86 build or amd64?
[00:46] <najzlijiji> i think it hase something to do with hardver seting for those pins on motherboard
[00:46] <HipHopFan85> WGGMk: onboard graphics card, 512 RAM
[00:46] <knopper67> half*
[00:46] <satoris> well, I start compiz session by default
[00:46] <najzlijiji> or something
[00:46] <xomp> knopper67, yeah, I wouldn't be surprised.
[00:46] <satoris> so it's with compiz
[00:46] <satoris> so
[00:46] <HipHopFan85> WGGMk: 64bit AMD and Intel computers
[00:46] <gmcastil> what's the standard locale for US users? ISO-8859-1?
[00:46] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, compiz dioesnt controll the mouse, but i suppose i might be the problem
[00:46] <satoris> sometimes it moves alone
[00:46] <satoris> the mouse
[00:46] <knopper67> xomp: you can keep asking anyone else here, i'll be back in 15 - 20 mins. good luck
[00:46] <bod_> satoris, how many mous's have ou got connected to your machine?
[00:46] <satoris> just one
[00:46] <xomp> thanks for the help knopper67 :)
[00:47] <chero> hola alguien me puede ayudar?
[00:47] <bod_> satoris, is it infared or rollerball
[00:47] <satoris> and it's a Desktop machine
[00:47] <Jack_Sparrow> bod_: I had some odd issues with compiz and fps games and my mouse..
[00:47] <satoris> rollerball, PS/2
[00:47] <WGGMk> HipHopFan85: i think it might be a hardware issue, if its happening on different builds and different distro's.. did you try searching online for similar problems with similar hardware? i really wouldnt no where to start troubleshooting it
[00:47] <HipHopFan85> WGGMk: When I did memory test I got three entries in red
[00:47] <Kama> grrrr!
[00:47] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, really? cool, like what?
[00:47] <satoris> I've just look into the forums
[00:47] <Jack_Sparrow> satoris: logitec trackball here as well...
[00:47] <satoris> and there are no replies xD
[00:47] <chero> tengo un problema con mi impresoara
[00:47] <Kama> ok, I just canned my 64bit installation and went to a 32 bit ubuntu
[00:47] <HipHopFan85> WGGMk: Yes I did.. :(
[00:47] <satoris> no... this is a generic.. Genius
[00:47] <HipHopFan85> Kama why?
[00:47] <Kama> how can I get flash to work?
[00:47] <HipHopFan85> on which processor?:D
[00:47] <Jack_Sparrow> satoris: Please be patient here and in COmpiz
[00:47] <jim-^> flashplugin-nonfree
[00:47] <bod_> satoris, ok, its not a prb with the mouse i dont think, but try cleaning the roller  bars inside the mouse
[00:48] <WGGMk> HipHopFan85: possibly corrupt memory sticks... you could try pulling all your RAM out and booting to the LiveCD with 1 Stick at a time in.. to test your RAM
[00:48] <Jack_Sparrow> !flashissues
[00:48] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. Fixes have landed in -proposed for testing, but most most users are advised to wait until packages are approved and released in -updates.
[00:48] <satoris> what do you meen?
[00:48] <satoris> mean*

[00:51] <Kama> it is near impossible to explain, but easy to see
[00:51] <satoris> It's a issue with compiz... as I've googled
[00:51] <Zikiti> hello all, I tried to install the microsoft fonts and never completed the installation because of internet restrictions where I am. Nonetheless I tried to uninstall it and can't because it fails on the post install script. Is there a way to force the uninstallation by bypassing that script?
[00:51] <bod_> satoris, ok,. now check your connection at the back of the computer
[00:51] <Jack_Sparrow> bod_: One of the problems I had, was the cursor would just suddenly slide to the bottom of the screen
[00:51] <satoris> ok, what do I have to look specifically?
[00:51] <WGGMk> HipHopFan85: *shrug* may not be utilizing the memory blocks like Ubuntu or maybe too stupid to realize there is a problem
[00:51] <bod_> Jack_Sparrow, ive had that, usually because of shiny mousemats, but i use infared ones,.,. cause im posh!!!   lol
[00:52] <bod_> satoris, just unplug the mouse then plug it back in

[00:52] <bod_> !flashissues
[00:52] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. Fixes have landed in -proposed for testing, but most most users are advised to wait until packages are approved and released in -updates.
[00:52] <Pelo> bod_, the installer is broken, go to the adobe website and get the tar.gz file

[01:04] <satoris> well, I discovered that right now
[01:04] <satoris> :D
[01:04] <kubitz> gmcastil I don't know about Ubuntu but I think UTF-8 is more widely supported generally - a lot more supported

[01:04] <bod_> PriceChild, ace!
[01:05] <edju> Pelo, That did it!  Setup started like a charm.  Thanks again.
[01:05] <Kama> how can I get this program to stop telling me when people enter or leave the room?_
[01:05] <bod_> satoris, did you disable compiz?
[01:05] <Pelo> edju, you are welcome
[01:05] <najzlijiji> is there anyone here who can help me with enabling front USB ports?
[01:05] <fleishman> Greetings, I am having trouble finding the package "compizconfig-settings-manager" in Synaptic.  It lists several compiz packages, all of which i have installed, but the settings manager is not listed as an option to install.  i have an Nvidia 8600GTS which i have the drives installed for.  how do i get compizconfig-settings-manager so that i can utilize the 3d effects?
[01:05] <satoris> yes, that problem is no longer
[01:05] <bod_> yay
[01:05] <bod_> cool
[01:05] <PriceChild> Pelo, I don't even know what I'll be having for breakfast tomorrow.
[01:05] <Pelo> goodhabit,  check what is available in add-remove
[01:05] <bod_> PriceChild, Kellogs Crunchy Nut KornFlakes?
[01:05] <satoris> so it's a compiz one. I'll check it out there. Thank you.... Bye!
[01:05] <bod_> bye
[01:05] <bluefoxx> najzlijiji: you there? you wanted to enable front USB ports on your computer correct? well in my expirence as long as the cable is pluged into the motherboard inside and the extra USB is enabled in the BIOS [eg option: enable legacy USB] then ubuntu should utilize them
[01:06] <gmcastil> kubitz: ok, thats what it looked like, but for some reason i thought that utf had some problems
[01:06] <borncrazy> hi
[01:06] <kubitz> goodhabit I'm just going to check but i would say DVD Shrink will probably work on Wine
[01:06] <Pelo> satoris, if this was about the title bars disapearing when you turn on the effects you just need to enable metacity or emerald to work with compiz
[01:06] <borncrazy> how, do i "install" this iptable script? http://www.hermann-uwe.de/files/fw_laptop
[01:06] <najzlijiji> i know that but it works like charm in W$ and in 7.10 it's just dead

[01:07] <orbisvicis> anyone have any clue about mounting ftp -> folder -> nfs   ?
[01:08] <cosmodad> borncrazy: you need to run it after the boot process has nearly finished, e.g., by adding a call into /etc/rc.local. However, if you don't know what this is about, better use something like firestarter.
[01:08] <devils-haven>  missing operand after
[01:08] <Kama> ok, total noob here.  What shold I do to watch youtube videos?  install wine?  play with flash?
[01:08] <bluefoxx> najzlijiji: try lsusb , i think that should list them, as far as i know all my devices have been plug nd play in linux so far except for a joystick and MS serial mouse
[01:08] <Dr_willis> orbisvicis,  theres those fuse-ftp filesystem tools. for mounting a ftp server as a local dir.  But i dont knowhow well it plays with nfs
[01:08] <bod_> fleishman, you need the correct repo's go into /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment all the lines beginning with deb
[01:08] <Pelo> Kama,  install flash but the installer is curretnly broken, just go to the adobe website and get the tar.gz file
[01:08] <BagelMaster> Is anyone familiar with madwifi, enough so that you could aid me in installing it?  I'm new to linux, and the language on the madwifi site is confusing for me :|
[01:09] <fleishman> bod_-thanks, i'll give it a try

[01:09] <cosmodad> borncrazy: and if this is a single user system only, I doubt you find it much more useful than firestarter.

[01:09] <bod_> devils-haven, post your exact command
[01:10] <Pelo> Kama, a tar is an archive,   extract it to your desktop , there shold be a read me or install file in it , read that
[01:10] <danand> kama tar.gz is a compressed archive - bit like a zip file in windows
[01:10] <devils-haven> sudo chmod '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'
[01:10] <borncrazy> im using kubuntu
[01:10] <devils-haven> tried witohught the caps, and withought the file name
[01:10] <najzlijiji> but neither of them doesnt have ID (all 0000:0000)
[01:10] <kubitz> goodhabit I usually refer to http://www.doom9.net/ for DVD help most of those things seem to work with wine nowadays
[01:10] <bod_> sudo chmod 775 /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:10] <cosmodad> borncrazy: again, be aware you are starting something you don't have a clue about how it works.
[01:10] <Pelo> devils-haven, why are you tring to change the permissions to your xorg.conf file ?
[01:10] <borncrazy> cosmodad, thats my problem, not yours. right?
[01:10] <am3itch> how recompile mysql with --old-passwords (without breaking the apt-get inst version)

[01:10] <bod_> devils-haven, sudo chmod 775 /etc/X11/xorg.conf     /// or 755 or 777
[01:11] <fleishman> bod_:  i looked in that directory in File Browser and it is empty
[01:11] <cosmodad> borncrazy: absolutely. And it'll likely not be your last.
[01:11] <Pelo> devils-haven,  just open the file with gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:11] <bod_> fleishman, if that file is empty then you should have 0 packages in Synaptic
[01:11] <Pelo> devils-haven, that means edit it as root,  never ever ever change the permissions of files in your comfig
[01:11] <orbisvicis> i succesfully mount the ftp, but the nfs complains that the ftp dir doesnt exist .... which it really kind of doesnt b/c the dir is controlled by the mount process
[01:11] <orbisvicis> any way to get around that
[01:11] <devils-haven> how do i do that?
[01:12] <devils-haven> i am nob
[01:12] <devils-haven> noob
[01:12] <Pelo> devils-haven,  just open the file with gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:12] <borncrazy> so how do i make it work?

[01:16] <najzlijiji> anybody?
[01:16] <Zikiti> even with the purge command the package insists onrunning that postinstall script. Is there a way to remove a package manually?
[01:16] <Pelo> najzlijiji, patience ,we need to load the link
[01:17] <bod_> fleishman, your file should look something like this : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54563/
[01:17] <Kama> ok pelo, now how do I get these ***entered *** left the room to stop coming up?
[01:17] <Pelo> najzlijiji, did you change the cable ?
[01:17] <najzlijiji> no

[01:17] <Pelo> Kama, xchat ?  right click the channel tab ( bottom ) select hide join/part
[01:17] <danand> Zikiti - take a look at trying to remove the package with dpkg
[01:17] <Kama> i am using pidgin
[01:18] <Kama> just re-installed ubuntu 30 min ago
[01:18] <Pelo> Kama, I don't know then
[01:18] <Kama> Noooooooo!
[01:18] <Zikiti> dpkg/apt-get/synaptics they all run that postinstall script
[01:18] <bod_> haha
[01:18] <Pelo> Kama, ask in #pidgin
[01:18] <PriceChild> Kama, there is a plugin to hide those
[01:18] <BagelMaster> "ifconfig ath0 down" "ifconfig wifi0 down" What does those do?
[01:18] <PriceChild> Kama, ctrl+u, or tools > plugins
[01:18] <danand> Zikiti - either that or force a reinstall of the package with apt - then try to remove again
[01:18] <fleishman> bod_:got it
[01:18] <Starnestommy> BagelMaster: those turn off network interfaces
[01:19] <devils-haven> sorry i messed up the editing, what was the first word before gedit?
[01:19] <PriceChild> Kama, then enable irc helper i think
[01:19] <Kama> uh. i think ctrl u did it
[01:19] <bod_> fleishman, you didnt just copy mine over to yours did you?
[01:19] <danand> devils-haven - gksu
[01:19] <BagelMaster> Starnestommy: do I have to specify the network interface?
[01:19] <Zikiti> all force install/uninstall options don't work. I am asking if there's a way to manually remove and installed package? And manually remove it from the apt database?
[01:19] <BagelMaster> Sarnestommy: If so, how do I do that
[01:19] <Cruller> So, what am I missing? I'm trying to get my microphone to work and I keep hitting a brick wall.
[01:19] <Pelo> devils-haven, gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf remember that linux is case sensitive and it,s X one one , not X L L
[01:19] <PriceChild> Kama, oh wait no, there's one below
[01:19] <Starnestommy> BagelMaster: ifconfig name down
[01:19] <PriceChild> Kama, join/part hiding
[01:20] <devils-haven> what x?
[01:20] <PriceChild> Kama, you may need to restart pidgin for it to take effect, unsure
[01:20] <bod_> devils-haven, and its a big X not a little x

[01:28] <Tann> My keyboard is having issues. It won't work in KDE, but it will work in GNOME. ans this problem only started a few minutest ago
[01:28] <fleishman> bod: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54565/
[01:29] <Pelo> Tann, check your keyboard connector
[01:29] <fleishman> bod: that is my restored backup-before i did anything
[01:29] <Tann> Pelo: The keyboard works in GNOME though
[01:29] <danand> Tann - is your keyboard powered by battery?
[01:29] <Tann> Pelo: It is definately no the keyboard
[01:29] <lilg111111> i need help with sound in ubuntu
[01:29] <bod_> fleishman, now post the one you edited
[01:29] <fleishman> bod:k, just a sec
[01:29] <Pelo> Tann,  consider that your connector may have moved or that the cable may be damages
[01:29] <Tann> bod_: no
[01:29] <cosmodad> Tann: is it not working at all, or are just some keys or so malfunctioning?
[01:29] <Pelo> Tann, I don't have a clue then
[01:30] <bod_> Tann, ???
[01:30] <Tann> Pelo: I have tried and retried several times
[01:30] <Pelo> Tann, usb ?
[01:30] <cosmodad> Tann: in the latter case, check the layout setting in KDE.
[01:30] <Tann> cosmodad: It doesn't work at all in KDE
[01:30] <Tann> Pelo: PS/2
[01:30] <kubitz> Zofo you can download things by http from the repositories - then you could get in onto the laptop
[01:31] <cosmodad> Tann: eek.
[01:31] <Pelo> Tann, did you try to change the keyboard settings in kde ? you might have accicentaly removed it or someting
[01:31] <fleishman> bod: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54568/
[01:31] <kubitz> I'm guessing the issue is you can't get the laptop to access the net to get the driver to access the net?
[01:31]  * Pelo doens't care for kde anyway , he can't realy see the problem
[01:31] <cosmodad> Tann: check KDE keyboard settings anyway.
[01:31] <Tann> Pelo: no. It was working one minute, and then i went to get something and when I came back it didn't work
[01:31] <Zofo> i need the driver but i cant find a good way to get it to intall
[01:31] <Pelo> Tann,  I assume you tried to reboot ?
[01:32] <Tann> Pelo: yes, several times
[01:32] <danand> Tann - have you had a look in your log files for any errors - you can do that with mouse :)
[01:32] <Cruller> Anyone have any experience using microphones with Ubuntu?
[01:32] <Pelo> Tann, does it work in recovery mode ?

[01:33] <Tann> Pelo: let me see. Just a minute
[01:33] <Kama> i am having some problems with the azureus installer
[01:33] <kyle__> how do i go about resizing icons on my desktop with out using the stretch icon thing when you rightclick?
[01:33] <Pelo> Cruller,  open a terminal and type  alsamixer check that the captuer periferal settings aer not muted and that the levels are up
[01:33] <Cruller> Tried that, everything is enabled and maxed out, nothing gets recorded.
[01:33] <Kama> I go to add/remove, select it then get a pop up that states list of applications is not available.  I get the option to cancel or reload
[01:34] <Kama> and it just keeps going around in a circle
[01:34] <Zofo> where can i download restricted drivers from
[01:34] <bod_> fleishman, copy this one and see if it works : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54570/
[01:34] <Cruller> I get feedback from the mic. (ie. if I blow on it, I can hear the hissing from the speakers)
[01:34] <bruenig> Kama, sudo apt-get update
[01:34] <Kama> I do that then ahen i click it again, i get ehe same pop up
[01:34] <kubitz> Zofo the issue is discussed here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=627738

[01:34] <Cruller> But nothing seems to get recorded in Sound Recorder atleast.
[01:35] <bruenig> kathy, I imagine rhythmbox musicfile
[01:35] <kathy> bruenig, I'm launching it from the file manager.
[01:35] <Cruller> And what capture should I use? I have friggin three to choose from =S can they all be turned on without any negative effects?
[01:35]  * bruenig thinks my solution is better than Pelo's
[01:35] <kathy> bruenig, open with
[01:35] <bruenig> kathy, I am not familiar enough with nautilus to say
[01:35] <Kama> I have no backport option
[01:35] <kathy> This is enlightenment
[01:35]  * Pelo thinks bruenigs solution does not enable the extra repos
[01:36]  * bod_ thinks you should edit sources.list and uncomment all lines that begin with eb
[01:36] <Kama> Ohh! something is happening
[01:36] <bod_> deb
[01:36] <fleishman> bod: fantastic!  it's listed now
[01:36] <kubitz> Zofo http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#b43andb43legacy appears to be a suitable way to get them
[01:36] <bod_> fleishman, groovy,.,. dunno wot you did to break it,.,.lol
[01:36] <fleishman> bod: now do i need to install all of the compiz packages to get everything working?
[01:36] <Pelo> bod_, we are dealing with a noob,  manualy editing important files is not a good idea
[01:37] <bod_> Pelo, fair point
[01:37] <Kama> Oh Ya Baby Pela comes through again!
[01:37]  * Pelo wins
[01:37] <Kama> If he was a president he would be called Aberham PELAkin
[01:37] <bod_> fleishman, tbh you should get an update alert in a few mins,.,. but yes you could do
[01:37] <Cruller> And what about input sources? Can they all be selected to mic? Should only the 'correct' one be mic as some 'guides' I've found suggest?
[01:37] <Pelo> bruenig,  do you know how to Setup a spooldirectory without printfilter. Serialport baudrate must be 9600.
[01:37] <bruenig> Pelo, no clue
[01:37]  * bod_ thinks Pelo should let someone else win for a change,.,.lol
[01:37] <niuq> hi, how can i test if my video card it's supporting 3d?
[01:37]  * Pelo points out to Kama  that his nick is PelO not PelA

[01:38] <bruenig> !anyone | Humble
[01:38] <Pelo> Humble, we need more details
[01:38]  * bod_ thinks bruenig is more correct then Pelo,.,. terminal ftw
[01:39] <ubotu> Humble: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[01:39] <zura_> if i want to add application
[01:39] <zura_> there are message like this
[01:39] <zura_> http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/breezy/Release.gpg: Temporary failure resolving 'archive.ubuntu.com'
[01:39] <Kama> thinks pelo is more than helpful
[01:39]  * Pelo thinks there is such athink as a learning curve , start slow then move on to the big things
[01:39] <bod_> !enter | zura_
[01:39] <ubotu> zura_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[01:39] <zura_> what this
[01:39] <kubitz> bruenig as anoob myself I think there are two cogent sides to that argument - but ultimately you have to type sometimes :)
[01:39] <bruenig> zura_, are you still using breezy?
[01:39] <atcla> how do i run application ??
[01:39]  * gmcastil agrees with pelo
[01:39] <yannick_lm> hi all
[01:39] <onexused> I'm trying to connect to an smb share using these instructions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently.  When I use the mount command for it, I'm told "mount error 20 = Not a directory" How do I fix this?
[01:39] <toresn> how do i make xlsfonts recognize the fonts i've installed... i've downloaded a font and put it in my ~/.fonts ... it's recognized by i.e. openoffice
[01:39]  * bod_ thinks Pelo is correct, but terminal has to be forced upon some ex-windows users
[01:40] <Pelo> atcla, you can run applications from the menu , or you can type the name of the app in the terminal
[01:40] <gmcastil> Pelo: i think thats why things seem so helter skelter in here - a lot of people that have never used unix before and want to do a lot of more advanced things
[01:40] <Zofo> kubitz: thats about as far as i got. i downloded them and put them on the cumputer but thats as far as i got. i hoped that there was a package that would be an easy install
[01:40] <zura_> sorry i am newbie
[01:40]  * bruenig thinks sudo apt-get update is a very good place to start as it is something which is easily understood and remembered
[01:40] <yannick_lm> When I maximized a window with XFCE, I lost the decorations at the bottom. Someone know how to fix that ?
[01:40]  * gmcastil really wishes that people would think about their questions instead of screaming "How do I xxx"
[01:40] <Kama> ok. how do i update my system?  ie first thing on a new install
[01:40] <mattgyver83> does anyone know of a good dvd authoring program available for linux?
[01:40]  * Pelo thinks all this telepathy is givng him a headache
[01:40] <cabroni_> how can I add a HP Laserjet 1000 series?
[01:40] <kubitz> Zofo sorry that was all I could find
[01:40]  * bod_ thinks bruenig is correct ONLY if apt-get is explained to the user first
[01:40] <gmcastil> Kama: have you read the documentation?
[01:41] <bruenig> Kama, for cmd in update upgrade; do sudo apt-get $option; done
[01:41] <gmcastil> bod_: of course...users's don't know what a terminal is
[01:41] <Pelo> Kama,  in the terminal type  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[01:41]  * bruenig thinks that answer is a bad one
[01:41] <Tann> Who ever told me to try to use recovery mode, it didn't work still
[01:41] <danand> kama - apt-get update then apt-get upgrade
[01:41] <Kama> documentation?  Hell no, that is what Pelo is for
[01:41] <bruenig> Kama, for cmd in update upgrade; do sudo apt-get $cmd; done
[01:41] <jaggz-> hola.  How do I control the speed/acceleration of multiple input (pointer) devices?
[01:41] <atcla> whats extension in linux of .exe file ?
[01:41] <bod_> gmcastil, do you mean ex-windows users? or all users?
[01:41] <Humble> Look, I've got a problem with partitions on my ubuntu install. I tried to install a windows/ubuntu dual boot situation using two seperate partitions and now Windows has gone ahead and deactivated the partition with Ubuntu on it. I need the files on my ubuntu partition and can't just whipe it and start again, so does anyone know a way in which I can just reactivate the partition with Ubuntu on it, even if it means deleting the Windows partition
[01:41] <Pelo> Kama, also , menu > system> admin > update manager
[01:41] <gmcastil> Kama: you've no idea how annoying it is when people don't do their own reading first
[01:41] <bruenig> Humble, fs-driver.org
[01:41] <bod_> atcla, there are no .exe files,. but files can be executable
[01:41] <kubitz> mattgyver83 i'm assuming http://www.dvdflick.net/download.php will work with wine?
[01:42] <bruenig> gmcastil, pelo is apparently unbothered so whatever
[01:42] <yu> hi
[01:42] <gmcastil> Humble: i'd try the liveCD with the safe option
[01:42] <atcla> bod_: i installed Counter strike server. how do i run it ??
[01:42] <tom2002> when coding in windows ... the windows.h header file is used ... when coding with ubuntu ... what do i put in its place ???
[01:42] <Kama> you have no idea how annoying it is to be an ubuntu noob and not have stuff just work properly
[01:42] <mattgyver83> ill look into it, thanks kubitz.
[01:42] <Kama> want to trade places?
[01:42] <Pelo> bruenig,  I jsut anser question as they come if I can
[01:42] <bruenig> if someone said that documentation was unnecessary because he could just bug someone in irc about it, I would think that is a bad thing to say but who am I
[01:42] <gmcastil> bruenig: i think that telling people to try google first and reading documentation is helping them - 90% of linux is learning where to find answers
[01:42] <bod_> atcla, i have played this game once or twice,. but setting up a server is beyond my knowledge,. explain how you would do it in windows,.,. i might be able to translate
[01:42] <Tann> Pelo: recovery mode didn't work
[01:43] <gmcastil> Pelo: i do too...but it's hard sometimes, when no one has thought out their questions or done any reading at all
[01:43] <danand> Humble - how do you mean - deactivated?
[01:43] <Humble> Gmcastll I can't use the live CD, that's the other problem. I installed Ubuntu using unetbootin and don't have any blank DVDs laying around. This fs-driver thing may just work though.
[01:43] <bod_> gmcastil, but being told to google it everytime you ask a question is so annoying
[01:43] <cabroni_> I have been aded as a new print, but it not respond
[01:43] <Pelo> Kama,  you'll get the hang of it evenutaly,  here aer a few resources to help you get started,   http://www.linuxcommand.org/index.php http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/
[01:43] <mohbana> does anyone use wxDownload Fast?
[01:43] <tom2002> how do i replace the windows.h header file ???
[01:43] <Kama> thanks bod
[01:43] <bod_> Kama, what did i do?
[01:43] <gmcastil> bod_: well, that doesn't happen if its clear that people have already been there
[01:43] <bruenig> !find windows.h
[01:43] <Kama> "but being told to google it everytime you ask a question is so"
[01:43] <ubotu> File windows.h found in ecos, irssi-dev, libcamel1.2-dev, libdirectfb-dev, libgmime-2.0-2-dev (and 10 others)
[01:43] <Zofo> kubitz: Well thanks for the help. this is the hardest linux problem i have had
[01:43] <Cruller> So for everyone else the mic thing in ubuntu 'just works'? Is there something I could be missing? Sound Recorder not working? Something?
[01:43] <cabroni_> is there a hp laserjet 1000 driver for linux?
[01:44] <tom2002> that would produce a windows program ..
[01:44] <bod_> gmcastil, but google is useless if the person using it cannot phrase the question correctly,. almost as useless as you telling them to google it
[01:44] <bruenig> Cruller, check in alsamixer if the volume is up
[01:44] <onexused> Cruller: What sound card?
[01:44] <gmcastil> bod_: i disagree
[01:44] <Pelo> Tann,  I'm stumped, are both kubuntu and ubuntu on the same hdd ?  try from ubuntu  sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop maybe it will restore files that might be missing
[01:44] <Kama> the thing is GM, I couldnt find jack about how to get flash to install.
[01:44] <bod_> Kama, oh,.,. no probs
[01:44] <n08l3J_> hello ubuntu people
[01:44] <bod_> gmcastil, for what reason?
[01:44] <Kama> so i came here
[01:44] <nancy> Hey, all - this is techgeek40 --- I'm helping my niece get up on Ubuntu -
[01:44] <n08l3J_> I am experiencing this weird problem
[01:44] <tom2002> using windows.h would produce a windows program that i would have to run with wine ... right ????
[01:44] <Kama> and while here i tossed out the last remaining questions
[01:44] <bruenig> !enter | nancy
[01:44] <Cruller> everything is maxed out, it's just the sound chip that comes in the motherboard, intel HDA
[01:44] <gmcastil> bod_: not to mention that there is also documentation prominently placed on the Ubuntu website in addition to the forums that address a lot of the problems that come up in here
[01:44] <ubotu> nancy: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[01:45] <n08l3J_> all of sudden my network-manager stops responding and disconnect my wireless
[01:45] <Tann> Pelo: I am running kde on ubuntu
[01:45] <gmcastil> bod_: look at some of these: "I am experiencing this wierd problem"
[01:45]  * Pelo is gonna go and buy some brain ( junk ) food
[01:45] <Pelo> Tann, same answer then
[01:45] <bod_> gmcastil, to a new user this can be very daunting,. talking to human beings in real-time is more usefull then 200 pages of gobbldy gook
[01:45] <Pelo> later folks
[01:45]  * gmcastil thinks Pelo needs beer
[01:45] <n08l3J_> any clues where to find what happen and how to correct this issue i am using ipw3945 driver on dell inspirpn 1505
[01:45] <DOOM_NX> hi
[01:45] <mohbana> does anyone use wxDownload Fast?
[01:46] <onexused> Cruller: I know the mic hasn't been gotten to work for some sound blaster cards.  I'd have to look about Intel HDA.
[01:46] <bruenig> n08l3J_, does the interface show up in iwconfig
[01:46] <DOOM_NX> what's the command/program to check the speed of ur hard drive?
[01:46] <Kama> not only 200 pages, but thousands of pages, referring to many distros.  It could be written in chineese for all it helped me
[01:46] <tom2002> would using the windows.h file produce a linux program ????
[01:46] <gmcastil> bod_: i agree with that...but a lot of the questions come from people that have never used linux before asking about how to configure an apache server or samba or some other thing
[01:46] <atcla> bod_: ok when u install there should be .exe file which contains server's set up. i need to find that file and run it, problem is i dunno which files are running or not, and how to run files on linux. what command should i use to open\run file
[01:46] <gmcastil> bod_: it's clear that the majority of the people in this channel haven't even bothered to read any of the documentation
[01:46] <danand> nancy - try to explain what your error is :)
[01:46] <Cruller> I ran in to a lot of guides with people seemingly having the same problems, but it was mostly just 'turn your mic settings on in alsamixer"
[01:47] <rainwalker> is PCRE in the repos?
[01:47] <gmcastil> Kama: I'm referring to Ubuntu specific documentation
[01:47] <Kama> does that mean you shouldnt help them gm?
[01:47] <nancy> dandand: need to register with the ubuntu server
[01:47] <bod_> gmcastil, but these users are generally used to a click and and  a wizard does everything,. but a huge wiki is worse then a step-by-step from a human in here
[01:47] <gmcastil> rainwalker: apt-cache search PCRE
[01:47] <n08l3J_> yes bruenig
[01:47] <onexused> Cruller: I'm having sound problems on a different linux OS and that's mostly what I get too, lol.
[01:47] <Kama> i am referring to ubuntu specific stuff too.  thousands of google pages
[01:47] <nancy> !register
[01:47] <ubotu> By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about  registering your Freenode nick can be found at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration
[01:47] <bod_> atcla, an application can be run by typing the name of the application nto a terminal
[01:47] <kubitz> gmcastil to be fair one of the first things most of us newbies need to do is configure Samba as we usually need to carry on sharing with windows.
[01:47] <n08l3J_> it is working fine and will work for couple hours
[01:47] <bruenig> n08l3J_, does it appear to be configured with the essid specified and such?
[01:47] <n08l3J_> yes
[01:48] <rainwalker> gmcastil: it listed a lot of things, how do I know what to install?
[01:48] <bruenig> n08l3J_, so try dhclient eth1
[01:48] <n08l3J_> bruenig: I am running it without any problem right now
[01:48] <bruenig> or whatever the interface is
[01:48] <bod_> kubitz, ntfs3g    lets you share files with windows partitions,.,. whyyou need samba (which i dont know about) is beyond me
[01:48] <bruenig> n08l3J_, so you are just complaining about gui failure or do you have a real problem?
[01:48] <n08l3J_> bruenig:
[01:48] <gmcastil> rainwalker: pastebin the output...why do you need PCRE?
[01:48] <n08l3J_> bruenig: no no
[01:48] <atcla> bod_: can u give me an example
[01:48] <bod_> atcla, in a terminal type        totem
[01:48] <rainwalker> gmcastil: I'm compiling a plugin for pidgin that says what you're listening to
[01:49] <bod_> rainwalker, cool
[01:49] <kubitz> bod_ alright that was bad example but you take my point people expect to carry on doing what they were doing with windows
[01:49] <n08l3J_> bruenig: It do something after that the system starts responding weirdly  by that i mean, i can not launch any new apsp, sometimes some app works some doesn;t
[01:49] <gmcastil> rainwalker: ah...yeah, that'd explain it...and yeah, that is kinda cool :)
[01:49] <FSWolf_> hi
[01:49] <runemaste644> I think i found a bug in the bug report tool...
[01:49] <gmcastil> rainwalker: pastebin your output, and i'll take a look at it
[01:49] <Cruller> letsee if it's sound recorder fucking up by installing skype =|
[01:49] <rainwalker> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54571/
[01:49] <kubitz> I have been lucky inasmuch as most of the manuals made sense and I haven't had a real issues so far
[01:49] <n08l3J_> bruenig: even when i try to run like find command through cli it just stays there hanged
[01:49] <bod_> kubitz, exactly, and a wiki is worse then a human,. this is what im trying to educate gmcasti with
[01:49] <FSWolf_> im having trouble setting up ubuntu 7.10 to run two monitors off a dual head ATI card can any one else?
[01:50] <FSWolf_> help*
[01:50] <gmcastil> rainwalker: is the configure script giving you an error?
[01:50] <mohbana> does anyone use wxDownload Fast?
[01:50] <Cruller> dual monitors are a pain in the ass
[01:50] <bruenig> n08l3J_, well stop running network-manager if you think that is the problem
[01:50] <rainwalker> bod_ and gmcastil: here's the page for that plugin http://code.google.com/p/musictracker/
[01:50] <bod_> !repeat | mohbana
[01:50] <ubotu> mohbana: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[01:50] <gmcastil> rainwalker: that's hot....
[01:50] <rainwalker> gmcastil: yes
[01:50] <gmcastil> rainwalker: what error is ./configure giving you?
[01:50] <bod_> rainwalker, i dont use pidgin but are you planning on writing something similiar for xchat?
[01:50] <tom2002> any ideas on how to fix my header file issue ?
[01:50] <rainwalker> "PCRE library is needed; please make sure you have the PCRE development files installed."
[01:50] <runemaste644> When i tried to run it it showed a weird screen with the X11 logo. I got back to my desktop, but i couldnt click and i had to ctrl alt backspace.
[01:50] <Cruller> I had a *nix guru mess around with xorg for maybe an hour before he got it working, and even then it was a lot less than perfect
[01:50] <n08l3J_> bruenig: How should i connect to wireless then ?
[01:51] <bruenig> n08l3J_, iwconfig and dhclient
[01:51] <rainwalker> bod_ I would if I knew anything about writing code
[01:51] <gmcastil> rainwalker: sudo apt-get install pcregrep
[01:51] <runemaste644> Now when i try to login to gnome, i get a tan screen and it does nothing
[01:51] <Frogzoo> Cruller: even nix gurus aren't x gurus
[01:51] <rainwalker> gmcastil: ok I saw that in synaptic but wasn't sure that's what I needed, thanks =)
[01:51] <bod_> rainwalker, how are you writing one for pidgin without knowing anything about code?
[01:51] <gmcastil> rainwalker: that last one is the dealio, i'd imagine - if it has any dependancies, it'l probably resolve automagically
[01:51] <mohbana> is there a site dedicated to forcing certain companies to open source there drivers?
[01:51] <gmcastil> rainwalker: yup, np
[01:51] <gmcastil> mohbana: forcing? hehe
[01:51] <rainwalker> bod_: I'm not writing it, I'm compiling what's already been written
[01:52] <FSWolf_> could some one please help me :(
[01:52] <runemaste644> i went into KDE and reported the bug i was going to report, but how do i fix Gnome?
[01:52] <bod_> rainwalker, ah,.,. my bad,.,. lol
[01:52] <cabroni_> how to configure this printer in ubuntu 7.10 !?!!! , it doesnt run , .FUCK!
[01:52] <gmcastil> mohbana: "You can't sell your product anymore - we won't allow it!"
[01:52] <gmcastil> cabroni_: noob
[01:52] <Dr_willis> !ohmy | cabroni_
[01:52] <ubotu> cabroni_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[01:52] <rainwalker> !language > cabroni_
[01:52] <gmcastil> mohbana: that company wouldn't be around very long :)
[01:52] <bod_> gmcastil, n00b bash once more and il complain on -ops
[01:52] <Dr_willis> Depends on the printer  to some degree also.
[01:52] <runemaste644> im going to be afk for a sec
[01:52] <Ex-Cyber> tom2002, Ubuntu doesn't really have an equivalent to windows.h
[01:52] <Cruller> or not, now I get some dependency problems trying to install skype x_X
[01:53] <Dr_willis> cabroni_,  whats the exact printer Kind/type?
[01:53] <Cruller> *sigh*
[01:53] <mohbana> gmcastil, ok how about asking them to release linux drivers
[01:53] <gmcastil> rainwalker: did configure pass through it?
[01:53] <gmcastil> mohbana: depends on the company
[01:53] <MixyPlixy> Would anyone be able to help me get my wacom tablet running smoothly?
[01:53] <Dr_willis> !wacom
[01:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wacom - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[01:53] <gmcastil> mohbana: typically, though, the open source community winds up cranking out there own drivers that are better than the companies anyway
[01:53] <bod_> !info wacom
[01:53] <cabroni_> HP Laserjet 1000 series
[01:53] <ubotu> Package wacom does not exist in gutsy
[01:53] <gmcastil> mohbana: intel, ATI, and nvidia are notable exceptions to that
[01:54] <MixyPlixy> :s
[01:54] <aconbere> I'm having a hard time getting sudo working with my users. I'm used to specifying a group that's able to run commands via sudo so in this case I've specified wheel
[01:54] <aconbere> %wheel          ALL=(All) ALL
[01:54]  * Pelo is back with yogourt coverd raisins
[01:54] <Dr_willis> cabroni_,  some of the hp all in ones, need the hpoj service running. Not sure on your exact model however. Most HP's are very well supported under Linux with CUPS.
[01:54] <aconbere> but my user in wheel isn't able to run any commands
[01:54] <astro76> aconbere: it's the admin group
[01:54] <gmcastil> mohbana: it's not usually that they need to release linux drivers - the trick is gettin them to place them under the GPL, which is harder to do
[01:54]  * bod_ thinks Pelo should share the love
[01:54] <aconbere> astro76: it shouldn't matter
[01:54]  * gmcastil has Newcastle
[01:54] <aconbere> astro76: it's just a group
[01:54] <kubitz> ironically the only issue I did have turned out to be a dead wifi adapter. I had always kept it as a spare  and it never occurred to be that it didn't work. So testing the hardware was the last thing I did - dummy that I was.
[01:55] <gmcastil> Pelo: Beer >>> yogurt covered anything
[01:55] <MixyPlixy> I can plug it in and everything works, except for hovering, and being able to configure buttons.
[01:55] <compwiz18> cabroni_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=200179
[01:55] <aconbere> astro76: so if I add a group to the group file, and add my users to the group, they should be able to run commands
[01:55] <cabroni_> cups are already run in my computer, but it not have GUI?
[01:55] <compwiz18> cabroni_: cups gui is found in system -> adminstration -> printers
[01:55] <Ex-Cyber> tom2002, windows.h is really a shortcut for a bunch of Windows libraries and constants; on a Linux system, each major library package has its own include file... for example if you are writing a GTK program, you do: #include <gtk/gtk.h>
[01:55] <atcla> bod_: haha i was like wtf is terminaL :DD now i cc its console :DD ok so i just type in the name and it runs
[01:55] <astro76> aconbere: agreed, but it's setup with admin by default in ubuntu
[01:55] <atcla> im gonna look for dat filke
[01:56] <Dr_willis> cabroni_,  i recall there being a nice gui in gnome to set up the printers. Check your system.settings menus?
[01:56] <bod_> atcla, if its an executable file then yes,.,.are you a recent convert?
[01:56] <cabroni_> i have been added this print, but it not print the sample page

[01:58] <astro76> aconbere: it should that's how the first user has sudo access
[01:58] <Dr_willis> if you are starting with linux.. gentoo was not a good place to begin. :)
[01:58] <cheesypieces> guys, every video on my computer doesn't play... it just shows a pink screen. any ides?
[01:58] <astro76> aconbere: and stupid question but you've used visudo to edit?
[01:58] <atcla> Dr_willis: yea :D but it happned
[01:58] <cheesypieces> *ideas
[01:58] <bod_> atcla,  im a 2 month ubuntu user,.,. its not that difficult ,.,. most answers can be found on the forums / google / or here,. so try and run your programme through the terminal,.,. what happens?
[01:58] <Pelo> cheesypieces, try turning off desktop effects
[01:58] <atcla> i was stuch with 96 pages on manual and no knowlegde at all
[01:58] <jbw4> guys, I have a strange problem. I just tried to install git vc via apt-get. The install failed, and when I re-ran it, it complained about missing /etc/inittab. I checked, and sure enough..../etc/inittab is not there. Now, I haven't used this file in ages...does Gutsy still use an /etc/inittab or does it place it elsewhere?
[01:58] <Dr_willis> Ubuntu has a staggering amount of forum/docs/guides/help :)
[01:59] <Dr_willis> of course you can always cheat and look at guides/docs for other disrtos for some parts.
[01:59] <atcla> bod_: i cant find what to run yet
[01:59] <bod_> atcla, lol,.,.ok,.,. il sit here twiddling my thumbs    *twiddles thumbs*
[01:59] <Dr_willis> atcla,  i often use the gentoo wiki pages for some  information
[01:59] <atcla> like when u install files, is there shortucts or any oither way to access them besides dir
[01:59] <rainwalker> gmcastil: it didn't work
[01:59] <aconbere> astro76: well I tried that after vim didn't work.
[01:59] <cheesypieces> pelo, i still have the same problem with effects turned off
[02:00] <bod_> atcla, yer, remember the name, and run from terminal
[02:00] <atcla> Dr_willis: i have print outs :D i even have linux shorten command list
[02:00] <aconbere> astro76: I read that note at the top, and promptly ignored it as quickly as I do the note at the top of crontab
[02:00] <aconbere> :P
[02:00] <astro76> aconbere: I'm not familiar with the consequences of not using visudo, but that could be your problem
[02:00] <Pelo> cheesypieces, go into synaptic,  search for gstreamer , install every single gstreamer0.10 package you see
[02:00] <aconbere> astro76: heh, that would be supremely bollocks :)
[02:00] <atcla> bod_: win and linux should have diff names of exe files, dont u think
[02:00] <jbw4> does ubuntu even use an inittab?
[02:00] <Flannel> aconbere: ALL is different than All
[02:00] <Flannel> jbw4: no
[02:01] <Pelo> jbw4, I think it's been phased out
[02:01] <jbw4> ah, I see.
[02:01] <rainwalker> gmcastil: should I just compile pcre myself?
[02:01] <jbw4> ok, thanks. I was scared
[02:01] <jbw4> ;)
[02:01] <Dr_willis> jbw4,  ubuntu is using the upstart system. Inittab is not used much by ubuntu I think
[02:01] <aconbere> Flannel: Thanks!
[02:01] <Pelo> Flannel, do you know how to Setup a spooldirectory without printfilter. Serialport baudrate must be 9600.
[02:01] <astro76> aconbere: it seems to be just syntax checking and edit locking... at the same time I don't see the sense purposefully not using it
[02:01] <Dr_willis> !upstart | jbw4
[02:01] <ubotu> jbw4: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.  For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/
[02:01] <aconbere> astro76: yeah visudo just locks and what not
[02:01] <Flannel> Pelo: No
[02:01]  * Pelo can never get any help in this channel
[02:02] <bod_> atcla, linux does not use .exe as a file extension, as you no every thing you do in gui, is just run in command line, where you cant see it,. so we set an appliaction to be execuatable, instead of giving it a .exe extension,.,. this solves are problems
[02:02] <Flannel> aconbere: You should *always* use visudo
[02:02] <aconbere> Flannel: why?
[02:02] <Flannel> aconbere: it saves you from making mistakes that'll render sudo useless.
[02:02] <Dr_willis> visudo error checks befor exiting. :)
[02:02] <astro76> aconbere: it's funny you are having unexplained issues and asking why ;)
[02:02] <bod_> atcla, thus being able to run anny applicatiion from terminal becomes a simple    programme     instead f   programme.exe
[02:02] <aconbere> astro76: clearly it's not smart enough to recognizee mispellings :)
[02:03] <atcla> bod_: yea u rite
[02:03] <Flannel> aconbere: Aliases are arbitrary.
[02:03] <aconbere> Flannel: sure
[02:03] <Dr_willis> theres no need for a .exe extension, when you have the executable  bit  to tag files as executable.
[02:03] <aragorn> I have a question about gnome xchat; i know this is a place for questions about ubuntu
[02:03] <aconbere> so I just don't see the point
[02:03]  * aconbere shrugs
[02:03] <Flannel> aconbere: Having a config that doesn't work is different than having syntax errors.
[02:03] <lordleemo> atcla does this help  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=266403
[02:03] <rainwalker> aragorn: normal xchat is better, in my opinion, but what's your question?
[02:03] <Dr_willis> You need the 'vijustdowhatirealymeansudo' editor.
[02:03] <aconbere> Flannel: undertsandably
[02:03] <gmcastil> Has anyone else had problems getting Openoffice to recognize an installed JRE?
[02:03] <bod_> atcla, and were proud of it,.,. theres alot of windows bashers about, so try not to compare things, unless you wanna start an argument
[02:04] <aconbere> Flannel: but frankly I'm not concerned about locking of sudoers, so I don't see why I should use visudo
[02:04] <aragorn> rainwalker: i have heard that before. how do you install normal xchat then?
[02:04] <bod_> atcla, but anyway, have you found that file yet???
[02:04] <Pelo> gmcastil, first time I 've heard of it , maybe in #openoffice.org
[02:04] <Flannel> aconbere: Its not a locking issue primarily.  Its a "dont save if you have syntax errors, because that'll make you unhappy" issue.
[02:04] <rainwalker> aragorn: I think you just install it with synaptic; install "xchat" instead of "xchat-gnome"
[02:05] <gmcastil> Pelo: "javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment"
[02:05] <aconbere> Flannel: which is nice and all, but I'm not sure that would ever make it to "always" for me :P
[02:05] <bod_> aragorn, from termnal type     sudo apt-get install xchat
[02:05] <aconbere> it's a convient tool, and I might think about using it in the future
[02:05] <atcla> bod_: i think i did
[02:05] <aconbere> it just doesn't seem to warrent the warning :P
[02:05] <Pelo> aconbere, go in  menu > applications > add remove,  search for xchat , install it , xchat-gnome will get removed
[02:05] <atcla> i type in "steam" file name
[02:05] <atcla> and i says bash "steam" bad command
[02:05] <jack-desktop> is there a reason why my compiz fusion cube only goes to 22 and not all the way to 32?
[02:05] <bod_> atcla, ok,.,. your not sounding very positive?
[02:05] <aragorn> bod_: sudo wont help me
[02:05] <aconbere> Pelo: wrong a
[02:05] <atcla> *it
[02:05] <bod_> aragorn, whats your prob?
[02:05] <Flannel> aconbere: If you want to screw up your system, go right ahead.  We won't stop you from being haphazard. But don't come here when you've broken something because you did something that we told you not to.
[02:06] <Pelo> aragorn, go in  menu > applications > add remove,  search for xchat , install it , xchat-gnome will get removed
[02:06] <gmcastil> Pelo: i'm pretty sure that i need to configure it inside OO, but it doesn't find it automatically - do you happen to know what particular lib/bin is used for the JRE?
[02:06] <bod_> atcla, you have not installed steam?
[02:06] <cheesypieces> pelo, i still have the same problem with the videos
[02:06] <aragorn> pelo: thanks
[02:06] <atcla> bod_: i did what it said
[02:06] <aconbere> Flannel: sounds good
[02:06] <Pelo> gmcastil, check in synaptic ,  just do a search for java
[02:06] <atcla> bod_: http://www.ehow.com/how_2003950_install-counter-strike-server-on-linux.html
[02:06] <bod_> atcla, what what said? post me the link to the how-to you are using
[02:06] <atcla> finished those steps now they say just run the server
[02:06] <belorix> Hi, I just installed gutsy and my wireless USB adapter isnt working
[02:06] <bod_> ty
[02:06] <cheesypieces> they were fine earlier, not sure whats gone wrong, but now all my videos have purple lines all over them
[02:07] <Pelo> !wifi | belorix start here
[02:07] <ubotu> belorix start here: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[02:07] <belorix> thank you Pelo
[02:07] <Pelo> cheesypieces, ddi you try something other then totem like vlc or xine or mplayer ?
[02:07] <cheesypieces> yes, same thing
[02:07] <bod_> atcla, have you registered with nickserv so you can PM me on here?
[02:07] <aragorn> pelo: there is no 'add remove'
[02:07] <atcla> yea
[02:07] <belorix> Pelo, how would i do that when i have no internet at all
[02:07] <Pelo> cheesypieces, did you mess around with any video settings ?
[02:08] <generalj__> anyone use checkinstall?
[02:08] <bod_> atcla, lets talk in PM then
[02:08] <Pelo> belorix,  you are on the internet right now aren't you  ?
[02:08] <belorix> yea
[02:08] <belorix> but that in another part of the house
[02:08] <Pelo> aragorn,  at the bottom of the application menu
[02:08] <cheesypieces> pelo, not that i remember. in fact i had just finished one (which was fine) and then went to another, which was purple. all purple after that
[02:08] <belorix> and i have a desktop not laptop
[02:08] <Dr_willis> long cable?
[02:09] <aragorn> pelo: cant find it
[02:09] <Pelo> belorix,  try this,  read up on the problem on the computer you are on now, or you can also try using a cable connection on your other comp while you slove the problem
[02:09] <Pelo> cheesypieces, no idea then
[02:09] <cheesypieces> ok pelo, thanks anyway
[02:09] <Pelo> aragorn,  are you using ubuntu , kubuntu or xubuntu ?
[02:09] <aragorn> pelo: ubuntu
[02:09] <Pelo> cheesypieces, borked video card maybe
[02:10] <Pelo> aragorn, open a terminal , type   sudo apt-get install xchat
[02:10] <aragorn> pelo: sudo will not help me
[02:10] <aragorn> i am not a 'sudo'
[02:10] <Flannel> aragorn: then you can't install regular xchat, ask your system administrator to do it for you
[02:11] <Pelo> aragorn, that is why you do not have a add remove in your application menu, you do not have permission to install applications,  you will need to ask the computer's admin
[02:11] <Dr_willis> Or get the xchat source and compile it just for yourself.
[02:11] <aragorn> ok
[02:11] <aragorn> in that case i have a question about gnome ;)
[02:11]  * Pelo feels dirty haveing tried to help someone who doesn't even have admin priviledges
[02:12] <Pelo> aragorn, just ask
[02:12] <wers> how do I get the lucida sans font?
[02:12] <Pelo> wers, I guess you can dl it online somewhere
[02:13] <Dr_willis> !msttcore
[02:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about msttcore - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[02:13] <Pelo> !fonts | wers
[02:13] <ubotu> wers: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer
[02:13] <Dr_willis> oops. Hmm.. thers a package that installs the ms fonts. Or you can install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package i think it grabs them also
[02:13] <mynyml> my mic isnt working with skype, any tips?
[02:13] <Pelo> mynyml, it is working elsewhere ?
[02:14] <aragorn> pelo: well, i disconnected from a channel and now every time i try to reconnect, i cant. uh...i think i accidentally checked 'reconnect on disconnect' or something, but i still dont understand why it wont let me connect
[02:14] <mynyml> Pelo: yeah; if i talk in it i can hear it on the speakers
[02:14] <aconbere> Flannel: I mean for me, I'm more worried about borking an vhost config, or a backup script, than I am with borking my sudoers file (given that I have key'd ssh to my root account)
[02:14] <aragorn> pelo: i rebooted it two or three times. and it still didnt work.
[02:14] <kenalex> hello
[02:15] <cheesypieces>  guys how do i restart my pc from within a terminal?
[02:15] <Pelo> mynyml, probably a skype issue then ,  try to see if you can'T find the way to specify the mic or the sound device in the skype config menues or smeonting
[02:15] <wers> I already have the msttcorefonts and ubuntu restricted packages installed but I still don't have lucida sans
[02:15] <Pelo> aragorn, you might have been banned from that chanel
[02:15] <cosmodad> cheesypieces: sudo reboot
[02:15] <cheesypieces> ok thanks cosmodad
[02:15] <mynyml> Pelo: i can choose the audio stream/card/something like that; tried them all, no difference
[02:15] <aragorn> no, i was only kicked temporarily
[02:16] <Pelo> wers, http://www.ubuntu-art.org/content/show.php/6%2C760+Fonts?content=9883
[02:16] <aragorn> pelo: the kick was not even for real. it was a joke
[02:16] <borncrazy> hi
[02:16] <kenalex> i want to burn a ubuntu to a disk but have no have no CDs but a couple of DVD+R disks. is it possible to burn a CD image  to a DVD disk.if yes how do i do it ?
[02:16] <Pelo> aragorn, you may still have been banned
[02:16] <edju> Trying to set up wifi, Atheros AR5007EG, with madwifi.  Failed at a modprobe.  Might someone check http://rafb.net/p/G1pFYV88.html?  Any hints, pointers, whatever?
[02:16] <aragorn> pelo: i will try to reconnect
[02:16] <gmcastil> Pelo: yeah, i have the JRE installed, openoffice just doesn't seem to recognize it
[02:16] <Pelo> kenalex,  I am told you can burn a cd,iso file to a dvd with no problem
[02:16] <wers> this is weird. Whenever I open I link from xchat, it's opened in konqueror. how do I make it firefox? :D
[02:16] <K_Nine> kenalex:  You can download the Ubuntu DVD.
[02:17] <Pelo> gmcastil, try asking in #openoffice.org
[02:17] <gmcastil> Pelo: i did...no one's home :)
[02:17] <cosmodad> wers: you probably need to change the default browser in your KDE/GNOME setting.
[02:17] <Pelo> wers, FF preferences  first tab I beleive
[02:17] <aragorn> pelo: i tried to reconnect again. and xchat went out, just like before
[02:17] <Pelo> gmcastil, did you check in the open office optiosn ?
[02:17] <Pelo> aragorn, I don't know
[02:18] <aragorn> ok
[02:18] <gmcastil> Pelo: yeah, under tools...it lets me add one, but I'm not sure what it's looking for - a lib? an executable?
[02:18] <Pelo> gmcastil, I would assume a lib
[02:18] <gmcastil> Pelo:  i'm pretty sure thta its just a configuration issue, but i don't know enough about the JRE to know what it wants
[02:18] <Aloha> _D: test
[02:18] <Aloha> _D test
[02:18] <wers> cosmodad and Pelo, my default browser is firefox but the links are opened in konqueror
[02:18] <gmcastil> Pelo: if i knew what file i was looking for, i could chase it down
[02:18] <Pelo> gmcastil, openoffice is part of the default install of ubuntu , it should be very stable and fully integrated
[02:19] <aragorn> pelo: perhaps you could remind me where to find the feature 'reconnect on disconnect' or something similar to that ?
[02:19] <aragorn> it may solve my problem
[02:19] <Pelo> wers, check in the xchat parameters then
[02:19] <Pelo> aragorn, try asking in #xchat
[02:19] <generalj__> hmmm is checkinstall the only program of it kind? it seems a little outdated..
[02:19] <belorix> with ndiswrapper do you have to donwload all 3?
[02:19] <wers> Pelo, it happens in abiword too
[02:19] <gmcastil> Pelo: uh...yeah, i know - but still, i have to tell it where to find the library it's looking for, and i don't know what its called
[02:20] <Pelo> wers, menu > system > prefs > default progs or sometring
[02:20] <K_Nine> wers: I am using Konversation and there is a place to change the default browser in the settings>Configure Konversation.
[02:20] <wers> Pelo, in the Preferred Applications dialog, firefox is already set
[02:20] <Pelo> gmcastil, /usr/lib/jvm/....
[02:21] <runemaste644> I think i found a bug in the bug report tool...
[02:21] <K_Nine> wers: This is the script it uses firefox '%u'
[02:21] <runemaste644> When i tried to run it it showed a weird screen with the X11 logo. I got back to my desktop, but i couldnt click and i had to ctrl alt backspace.
[02:21] <Pelo> wers, I don't know then,  did you get the lucinda font from the link I gave you ?
[02:21] <runemaste644> Now when i try to login to gnome, i get a tan screen and it does nothing
[02:21] <aragorn> does anyone know where i can find that feature that was something to do with reconnecting when disconnected ?
[02:21] <runemaste644> i went into KDE and reported the bug i was going to report, but how do i fix Gnome?
[02:21] <wers> Pelo, I'm downloading the fonts tarball now
[02:21] <wers> it's just that, I think, there are so many fonts included. hehe
[02:21] <Pelo> runemaste644, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[02:21] <K_Nine> aragorn:  Which chat program?
[02:21] <gmcastil> Pelo: it's looking for a specific file..do you know which one?
[02:21] <Vad1> Where are my printer settings stored?
[02:22] <aragorn> K_Nine: gnome xchat
[02:22] <wers> K_Nine, what do I do with that script?
[02:22] <runemaste644> i have to reinstall gnome??????
[02:22] <Pelo> gmcastil, no , I was assuming that once you got to the proper folder the selection screen would have narrowed it down for you
[02:22] <runemaste644> ill try to login to gnome again
[02:22] <Pelo> runemaste644, I 'M just guessing that you removed an important file
[02:23] <runemaste644> i didnt remove something
[02:23] <generalj__> so anyone use Autodeb ?
[02:23] <gmcastil> Pelo: it's not really clear what its looking for
[02:23] <K_Nine> That is the script that the Konversation Chat uses. I like Konversation because there are so many settings to use.
[02:23] <Pelo> gmcastil, which java do you have installed on your comp ?
[02:24] <Pelo> gmcastil, in mine it'S   /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-<IP_ADDRESS>/jre
[02:25] <K_Nine> wers: I just opened Gnu X-Chat and didn't see any setting for that. Try Konversation. There is a tutorial on settng it up. Seach Google for Ubuntu-Classroom.
[02:25] <runemaste644> k its fixed now
[02:25] <gmcastil> Pelo: i have the same thing installed on mine
[02:25] <gmcastil> Pelo: lemme see if that path works
[02:26] <Pelo> gmcastil, I mean that is what I see when  check in openoffice
[02:26] <bod_> hey guys,. if i have message logging on in xchat, does it make a file where i can read every single word its ever recorded?
[02:26] <runemaste644> Should i report this as a bug or is it just a temporary malfunction
[02:26] <Pelo> runemaste644, it's not a bug, you messed someting up
[02:26] <gmcastil> Pelo: when i try to give it that path in the config menu, it says that a JRE doesn't exist in that folder
[02:26] <gmcastil> Pelo: i wonder if i'm missing some other package here that i don't know about
[02:27] <Pelo> gmcastil, linux is case sensitive
[02:27] <runemaste644> and logging into kde, logging out, and logging into gnome fixed it.
[02:27] <Aggie288> i've been trying to make a usb flash boot to install ubuntu, but it doesn't work
[02:27] <Pelo> gmcastil, try up to the jre folderand the folder one level up
[02:27] <runemaste644> I doubt that KDE magically fixed it
[02:27] <gmcastil> pelo, yes, i'm aware its case sensitive :)
[02:28] <Pelo> gmcastil, just running through all the usual suspects here, do not bite my head off
[02:28] <gmcastil> Pelo: i wasnt
[02:28] <josspyker> bod_: hidden in your home dir
[02:28] <Pelo> gmcastil, I'm warning you, stop contradicting me
[02:28] <gmcastil> Pelo: I'm not!!!
[02:28] <gmcastil> hehe
[02:28] <bod_> josspyker, ok il have a look

[02:30] <cheesypieces> no, i'm on ubuntu
[02:30] <cheesypieces> although i have the kubuntu-desktop installed if thats what you mena
[02:30] <gmcastil> Pelo: i'm surprised that installing OO didn't install the jre at the same time

[02:31] <annienygma> yes, that's what I mean..
