[03:40] <yowwww> anyone help with an ubuntu thin client issue? i promise it will be fun :)
[03:40] <darthanubis> flux?
[03:40] <connor_> ok
[03:40] <connor_> yowwww: i want fun, whats the problem
[03:40] <yowwww> good stuff connor_
[03:41] <darthanubis> I would not advise using fluxbuntu
[03:41] <eraldo> anirudh0_: in filezilla i can look at one directory on one side and at the same time have a look at another on the other side... this way I can easily move a file from one dir to another
[03:41] <fdhdh> Bodsda: okay, i hope it works on a vanilla ubuntu install with no dependencies
[03:41] <connor_> yowwww: wheres teh fun at?
[03:41] <alan_m> darthanubis, its final, just not "officially" supported.
[03:41] <yowwww> im setting up a thin client system, got the server installed, trying to connect to it
[03:41] <darthanubis> better off using ubuntu with fluxbox installed from a alt. cd
[03:41] <Bodsda> fdhdh, the dependencies are included in aptoncd
[03:41] <anirudh0_> eraldo: nautilus does'nt have it yet
[03:41] <connor_> hmm
[03:41] <yowwww> first time setting up a thin client
[03:41] <connor_> i dunnolol
[03:41] <yowwww> awesome, i feel better now ;)
[03:41] <eraldo> anirudh0: is there one that does have it ?
[03:41] <darthanubis> alan_m, took long enough
[03:41] <connor_> that has what
[03:41] <connor_> eraldo: whats the problem
[03:42] <anirudh0_> eraldo: search for "midnight commander" in synaptic..konqueror in kde has it
[03:42] <alan_m> darthanubis, what are you referring to?
[03:43] <jonas22> how can i redirect (incoming and outgoing) traffic to <IP_ADDRESS>:1234 to <IP_ADDRESS>:1234? i'm using Shorewall. Need this because i have a daemon that only listens on <IP_ADDRESS> and i want to access from LAN. No configuration possible for the daemon.
[03:43] <anirudh0_> eraldo: also look at pcmanfm..no split view..but tab support
[03:43] <Bodsda> alan_m, it is most nights ;~)
[03:44] <zm634> Ok, after i install dmraid to use a raid setup on my 8.04 install, i reboot into some (initramfs) shell.  I've noticed there'sno /etc/fstab in this, and i think it may be because now that i'm using dmraid, it's picking up the single hard drive i use to boot from as something else
[03:44] <anirudh0_> is there any use of raid on a single hd?
[03:44] <Bodsda> no
[03:44] <Flannel> anirudh0_: No
[03:44] <zm634> well, technically it's a spanning raid with one disk
[03:45] <eraldo> anirudh0: what I am looking for is twin view... but no command line browser... rather a desktop filebrowser with twinview
[03:45] <pupustory> wow;
[03:45] <anirudh0_> eraldo: konqueor and dolphin do it in kde..you can use those from gnome as well
[03:46] <yowwww> eraldo - emelfm2
[03:46] <anirudh0_> yowwww: thats ancient
[03:46] <eraldo> connor_: I most of the time start 2 nautilus windows... and drag one file from the first window to the other window...
[03:46] <yowwww> anirudh0_ - it was updated not long ago
[03:46] <nenen> lalala
[03:46] <anirudh0_> eraldo: i dunno why nautilus does'nt have tab and split view support
[03:46] <nenen> cause nautilus is sux
[03:46] <yowwww> anirudh0_ - nautilus does have tabs in the latest svn
[03:47] <anirudh0_> eraldo: its a good file manager otherwise
[03:47] <bazhang_> !br | nenen
[03:47] <anirudh0_> yowwww: great!
[03:47] <mjburling> I need some help connecting to a wireless network on my eeepc
[03:47] <yowwww> yep, long overdue, but awesome nonetheless
[03:47] <anirudh0_> yowwww: and split views?
[03:47] <fdhdh> aptoncd doesnt do what i want
[03:47] <eraldo> connor_: now that I use filezilla for remote machines... I wondered if there is a way to get nautilus do that... but anirudh0_ already told me that it can not...
[03:47] <yowwww> no anirudh0_ , one step at a time, lol
[03:47] <yowwww> maybe it will be added before its final
[03:47] <anirudh0_> :)\
[03:47] <fdhdh> i dont think it lets me choose what package to install, it only works on ones ive already installed
[03:47] <bazhang_> mjburling, /join #eeepc also see their wiki at www.eeeuser.com
[03:47]  * anirudh0_ leaves for breakfast
[03:48] <eraldo> anirudh0_: i know it is... but always having multiple nautilus windows open annoys me
[03:48] <alan_m> breakfast? wow anirud...your up early :D
[03:48] <alan_m> meh, too late
[03:49] <mjburling> I'm in #eeepc and I've got help to get the modules installed correctly, I just don't know how to finally get in touch with a wireless network.
[03:50] <Bodsda> fdhdh, decide what apps you want and there dependencies (if needed) then go to an internet amchine and create the cd then take them back
[03:50] <bazhang_> mjburling, open a terminal and type ifconfig
[03:50] <mjburling> How do I actually test and see if everything is working correctly and finally connect to a network?
[03:50] <mjburling> I don't see my wireless adapter :(
[03:51] <yowwww> mjburling - try iwconfig -scanning
[03:51] <yowwww> see if it lists your access point
[03:51] <bazhang_> mjburling, then the module may not be properly loaded
[03:51] <mjburling> Everything is set and ready to go (i think) in /lib
[03:51] <mjburling> So frustrated.
[03:52] <jonas22> how can i redirect (incoming and outgoing) traffic to <IP_ADDRESS>:1234 to <IP_ADDRESS>:1234? i'm using Shorewall. Need this because i have a daemon that only listens on <IP_ADDRESS> and i want to access from LAN. No configuration possible for the daemon.
[03:53] <Izinucs> I just installed (on my 3rd machine) Hardy. and it won't boot. no errors during install. booting shows GRUB Loading stage1.5 and stays there. 1 harddrive in machine (sata) 1gig+ ram and stage1.5 is in /boot/grub. Any assistance?
[03:54] <KlrSpz> anyone successful at getting the mic working on a dell d620 laptop?
[03:54] <KlrSpz> i had found the LaptopTestingTeam results, and their input doesn't seem to work
[03:54] <Izinucs> I can't even get my external mic to work on a desktop when it worked on 7.10
[03:55] <KlrSpz> it always forces my capture vol to 0
[03:55] <cary_jebus> how do you install KDE themes?
[03:55] <yowwww> Izinucs - have you looked at the menu.lst to see if it seems correct?
[03:55] <cary_jebus> how do you install KDE themes?
[03:55] <yowwww> cary_jebus - isnt in the control panel or something?
[03:55] <yowwww> been sooooooooo long since i used kde
[03:55] <cary_jebus> weres that
[03:55] <cary_jebus> :P
[03:55] <exoplasm> can anyone tell me what packages i need for virtualbox?
[03:55] <Izinucs> yowwww it matches my other machine.. so with that referance.. yes.
[03:55] <will00> is there a keytouch like program for ir remotes?
[03:56] <tinin> keytouch ?
[03:56] <yowwww> Izinucs - does it use the UID of the HD?
[03:56] <yowwww> under settings in the main menu cary_jebus ? or system or something along those lines
[03:56] <yowwww> should open the control panel
[03:56] <Izinucs> yowwww: I'll check but I've gotta boot the live cd.. by the way I've tried the live and alternate.
[03:56] <JohnPhys>  Is there any way to use the kernel ntfs (read only) driver to mount ntfs partitions, without using ntfs-3g/fuse?  I ask because I would like to do so to rescue ntfs partitions that ntfs-3g cannot mount, but both /sbin/mount.ntfs and /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g point to /bin/ntfs-3g, and I cannot seem to find a command that will let me mount using the kernel driver.  Was this feature completely removed?  Thank you for your time and
[03:56] <Bodsda> cary_jebus, you may have more luck in #kubuntu
[03:56] <tinin> kanyremote will00?
[03:56] <reya276> what is the current kernel for hardy 8.04? the update was 2.6.24-18-generic
[03:56] <will00> ok
[03:57] <yowwww> Izinucs - neither of them boot after the install?
[03:57] <JohnPhys> reya276: it was -17 before the update
[03:57] <crimsun> reya276: -19.33
[03:57] <crimsun> reya276: (in hardy-proposed)
[03:57] <Mr_Milenko> stupid question... anyone know how to automount NTFS drives
[03:57] <Mr_Milenko> lol
[03:57] <Izinucs> yowwww: nope.. and the drive is brand spanking new..
[03:57] <tinin> !ntfs3g
[03:57] <yowwww> size cary_jebus ?
[03:57] <Mr_Milenko> thankyou tinin
[03:57] <yowwww> errr Izinucs
[03:57] <tinin> np
[03:58] <Mr_Milenko> man i havent used linux in ages..
[03:58] <reya276> crimsun: well I did all the updates and yesterday it was 2.6.24-18-generic and now is <IP_ADDRESS>-generic and my system is acting weird
[03:58] <Jordan_U> JohnPhys, What error are you getting when you try to mount with ntfs-3g? Have you tried mounting read only?
[03:58] <Izinucs> yowwww: that's my response too.. been on ubuntu since Breezy Badger.. this one stumps me.
[03:58] <Mr_Milenko> last i used this was when reading NTFS was considered bad..
[03:58] <Mr_Milenko> lol
[03:58] <Bodsda> !lol
[03:58] <yowwww> Izinucs go to pm?
[03:58] <Izinucs> k
[03:59] <tinin> now it is even better than in winblows Mr_Milenko
[03:59] <reya276> crimsun: How can I make sure I'm using 2.6.24-18 because I compiled some drivers for this update
[03:59] <will00> tinin, that works great for cell phones, but im using an actual remote control
[03:59] <Jordan_U> reya276, uname -r
[03:59] <tinin> but you should use ext3 to avoid fragmentation Mr_Milenko
[03:59] <Mr_Milenko> i dualboot
[04:00] <Mr_Milenko> all of my media is on an NTFS partition
[04:00] <JohnPhys> Jordan_U: it was a lot of buffer i/o errors, couldn't determine the number of somethings (clusters maybe?)  I don't have the drive available now (it was a friends), but another friend was able to access it using a debian disk and the kernel ntfs driver, so I'm wondering how to od it from a livecd.  I did not try mounting it read only, though that is a good idea.
[04:00] <Mr_Milenko> Got to access my music :)
[04:00] <exoplasm> !virtualbox
[04:00] <reya276> Jordan_U: 2.6.24-16-generic
[04:00] <Bodsda> !msgthebot | exoplasm
[04:00] <tinin> no idea then, will00, but I'm interested in that too. I read Mythtv or other media centers have support for that
[04:00] <Takeshi> hey, i need to update my bios on an acer aspire 5315 notebook. acer haven't provided a tool to flash it from anything except windows or DOS
[04:01] <Mr_Milenko> You guys have made it quite easy to migrate from windows, and I thankyou.
[04:01] <will00> tinin, they do, and i know lirc supports my remote/reciever but i cant seem to get it to work
[04:01] <Takeshi> could i do it under WINE or would i be better using something like the UBCD to start freeDOS
[04:01] <Bodsda> your welcome Mr_Bad_News
[04:01] <Bodsda> Mr_Milenko,
[04:02] <jonas22> how can i redirect (incoming and outgoing) traffic to <IP_ADDRESS>:1234 to <IP_ADDRESS>:1234? i'm using Shorewall. Need this because i have a daemon that only listens on <IP_ADDRESS> and i want to access from LAN. No configuration possible for the daemon.
[04:02] <Takeshi> and if i'm using the UBCD and some sort of DOS, how do i access the bios flashing utility? just put it in a directory on the HDD?
[04:02] <Jordan_U> JohnPhys, I think it's much more likely that the important difference was read only vs RW rather than ntfs-3g vs old kernel driver, but you should be able to apt-get remove fuse from the liveCD and mount -t ntfs and I think it will use the kernel driver
[04:03] <exoplasm> jonas22: if it only listens on <IP_ADDRESS> i dont know how you could trick it into listening elsewhere with firewall configs...
[04:04] <root> \nick Billybeans
[04:04] <root> hi
[04:04] <poooop> hi
[04:04] <JohnPhys> Jordan_U: I'm not so sure about that, as I think mount -t ntfs just uses mount.ntfs, which points to /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g, which uses the fuse stuff.  You may be right on the rw vs. ro though, it's a good point.  Still, I'd like to be able to use the kernel driver if needed (the ntfs module is still shipped, so it's *there*, but I can't find a command to use it!)
[04:04] <poooop> hi
[04:04] <poooop> can anyoner see me?
[04:04] <Bodsda> yes
[04:04] <Leefmc> Question: I am trying to create a new partition for /home from root, and GParted's options are all greyed out. I am digging through docs, but they haven't mentioned anything relevant yet, anyone have any idea?
[04:04] <Takeshi> sure, i see you
[04:04] <poooop> hi
[04:05] <Takeshi> sup?
[04:05] <Flannel> Leefmc: you'll need a liveCD, as you can't edit mounted partitions
[04:05] <karl> any help? new to linux and ubuntu, how to download bit torrents?
[04:05] <JohnPhys> Leefmc: You have to umount the drive you want to create the partition on
[04:05] <poooop> how do i get Zelda for the ubuntu?
[04:05] <Leefmc> Flannel, Ah suck haha, all this again :D. So i guess im sort of hosed, oh well, i'll wait till i need to reinstall
[04:05] <tinin> Zelda the game?
[04:05] <Mr_Milenko> Depends... a Zelda Clone or.. are you trying to emulate a rom?
[04:05] <Leefmc> JohnPhys, Can you unmount a partition your using?
[04:05] <poooop> yes
[04:06] <Jordan_U> poooop, Which version?
[04:06] <tinin> ubuntugames.org
[04:06] <poooop> i want zelda the game,, im stuck in 1989
[04:06] <poooop> for life
[04:06] <Mr_Milenko> O_o
[04:06] <Leefmc> :D
[04:06] <Mr_Milenko> uh..
[04:06]  * Leefmc quotes that
[04:06] <mohamed_> how to install minibuntu on HDD ?
[04:06] <exoplasm> i would recommend the tv series but i think that was the 90s...
[04:06] <Leefmc> Although i would be 3 years old at that time, none the less its funny. :)
[04:06] <Mr_Milenko> SMBSS!!!
[04:06] <Mr_Milenko> Zelda on fridays
[04:07] <Mr_Milenko> lol
[04:07] <FloodBot1> Mr_Milenko: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:07] <tom_> Is there a linux alternative to Remote Desktop? Yes I know about VNC, but I'd like support for audio and local devices (thumbdrives/etc). Plus I'd like to be able to stream video. I *could* just use XP but I just got my wife to warm up to Ubuntu and I don't want to take a step backwards...
[04:07] <Mr_Milenko> what the hell im not flooding
[04:07] <reya276> Jordan_U: none of the updates that I did yesterday and today and there, the kernel update is non-existent and I know for a fact that I had done two of there kernel updates one was 2.6.24-17 and the other <IP_ADDRESS> but now the only ones present are 2.6.24-16 and <IP_ADDRESS> which is very odd
[04:07] <exoplasm> tom_: Check out FreeNX and NoMachine NX
[04:07] <Leefmc> Mr_Milenko, yes, you are. ;P
[04:07] <Mr_Milenko> not on purpose :P
[04:07] <Takeshi> did anyone answer my question earlier about flashing my bios?
[04:08] <tom_> exoplasm: reading now...thanks :-)
[04:08] <Mr_Milenko> what make and model of your PC Takeshi?
[04:08] <JohnPhys> Leefmc: No, you can't umount a partition you're running ubuntu from.
[04:08] <Jordan_U> tom_, ssh -X will do the audio redirection ( in hardy and newer with pulseaudio sound server enabled ) though not the local devices
[04:08] <Mr_Milenko> who made it, what kind of board etc
[04:08] <Takeshi> mr_milenko: acer aspire 5315
[04:08] <Leefmc> JohnPhys, Ah, didnt think so. Oh well im hosed hehe. Not insanely important i spose :)
[04:08] <tom_> Jordan_U: I'm trying to run virtual desktops from some free Windows XP embedded machines I got from work
[04:08] <Takeshi> need the update because my cpu fan doesn't spin once the OS starts :-/
[04:09] <Mr_Milenko> laptop?
[04:09] <Leefmc> Mr_Milenko, Me? Yes, with no/bad CD Drive
[04:09] <Takeshi> Mr_milenko: yeah
[04:09] <Leefmc> n/m :D
[04:09] <Mr_Milenko> floppy drive?
[04:09] <ubuntu> hi
[04:09] <reya276> Jordan_U: could Startup manager have cause this, I clicked on "Restore Defaults"
[04:09] <tinin> tom_ you could launch graphical apps with: ssh -X user@your.ip:port(22 by default)
[04:09] <JohnPhys> Leefmc: You can certainly unmount *other* partitions, just not the one that / is on.  You can change/shrink them from a livecd though, since that won't have mounted your partitions.
[04:09] <Jordan_U> tom_, I think the only thing likely to do what you want easily would be NX
[04:09] <fred_> anybody tried the lil asus subnotebook with the solid state disk?
[04:09] <Mr_Milenko> Takeshi: ftp://ftp.work.acer-euro.com/notebook/aspire_5315/vista/Bios/v1.21.zip
[04:09] <JohnPhys> Jordan_U: Any ideas on where to hunt for the way ot use the kernel ntfs driver?
[04:10] <Mr_Milenko> Googles your friend homie :P
[04:10] <tom_> Jordan_U: thanks.  So FreeNX is the free version of NoMachineNX?
[04:10] <exoplasm> Mr_Milenko: i think the issue is you cant install it from linux
[04:10] <Jordan_U> tom_, Yes
[04:10] <lynoox> I am having some trouble with mdadm / RAID.   It's my favorite price :-) I'll check it out..thanks for the heads up!
[04:10] <Mr_Milenko> RE-Flash the bios
[04:10] <Mr_Milenko> ;)
[04:10] <Leefmc> JohnPhys, Yea, but i can't use livecd (though some weird alternative may be possible via network.. but network is a pain heh). I'm fine for now. At the moment, all i can install ubuntu by is using the mini-iso, so next time i install ubuntu i'll be sure to setup a /home (i think it lets me.. i can't recall)
[04:10] <exoplasm> tom_: there is a free as in beer official version of NX, FreeNX is open source clone that i dont think is updated yet for hardy
[04:10] <khajavi> HELP: I want to join irc.gnome.org, via pidgin, any one could help me?
[04:10] <bullgard4> [Epiphany] What file stores the bookmarks?
[04:11] <Takeshi> mr_milenko: i can't flash the bios, and there's newer boises than 1.21
[04:11] <Leefmc> khajavi, Sure, whats the problem?
[04:11] <Mr_Milenko> oi..
[04:11] <JohnPhys> Leefmc: Alrighty.  Yes, it does let you set up a separate home partition.
[04:11] <Jordan_U> tom_, I am not sure what features it has and it was a pain to setup last time I tried but it's seems likely the most 'comprehensive' service available right now
[04:11] <Mr_Milenko> dude you make a bootlfoppy
[04:11] <Takeshi> mr=_milenko:well, actually, i haven't tried to flash the bios, that's what i was asking
[04:11] <tom_> Jordan_U: Which one? FreeNX?
[04:11] <Mr_Milenko> using DOS
[04:11] <fred_> @ khajavi:: i had problems with pidgin, too... concerning irc, i really prefer a conventional client
[04:11] <Mr_Milenko> download the archive, open the CL50121-Dos folder
[04:11] <Mr_Milenko> put that on a bootable dos floppy
[04:12] <Mr_Milenko> boot from the floppy
[04:12] <Takeshi> mr_milenko: i asked whether i could use the windows bios update tool through wine
[04:12] <Jordan_U> tom_, I really don't know what the practical differences are if any between the two
[04:12] <Mr_Milenko> trust me dude.. this is alot easier
[04:12] <Mr_Milenko> lol
[04:12] <exoplasm> tom_: http://www.nomachine.com/download-package.php?Prod_Id=5
[04:12] <Mr_Milenko> sorry..
[04:12] <exoplasm> tom_: it's super easy to setup
[04:12] <Takeshi> still don't have a floppy drive, dude
[04:12] <tom_> exoplasm: is nomachine free?
[04:12] <exoplasm> tom_: just make sure to install openssh
[04:12] <Mr_Milenko> you just said you had one..
[04:12] <khajavi> fred_: what do you suggest me?
[04:12] <exoplasm> tom_: that is the free version (not open source)
[04:12] <reya276> Jordan_U: is it possible to force the system to re-download the updates?
[04:12] <Leefmc> khajavi, I agree with fred_ , XChat is nice, and Gnome-XChat is decent. But if you want to, simply go to manage accounts, make a new irc account, give it the url's, etc
[04:12] <fred_> i'm using Gnome-XChat right now
[04:12] <Leefmc> khajavi, Were you having specific problems? Pidgin not connecting, etc
[04:13] <reya276> is it possible to force the system to re-download the updates?
[04:13] <fred_> feeling good in here
[04:13] <tom_> exoplasm: as long as I don't have to pay :-p. Having a wife saps your money
[04:13] <tom_> thanks for the help everyone!
[04:13] <Takeshi> what? no i didn't?
[04:13] <Mr_Milenko> I mis-read what you said my apologies
[04:13] <Leefmc> khajavi, Imo, Depending on your needs, XChat is best. XChat offers much more, since Gnome-XChat seems to be a stripped down version of XChat
[04:13] <Jalathan> Takeshi: i'd reccommend getting a base copy of MSDOS (or a clone) working so that it can boot a CD
[04:13] <Mr_Milenko> he doesnt have a cdrom either
[04:14] <willwh> irssi is the best IRC client, hands down :)
[04:14] <Jalathan> oh
[04:14] <khajavi> but I like pidgin :-D
[04:14] <Jalathan> hrm
[04:14] <Jalathan> USB boot support?
[04:14] <Mr_Milenko> what you could do though.. is open gparted
[04:14] <Takeshi> that's what i was thinking with the ultimate boot cd
[04:14] <Leefmc> willwh, No python scripting support, == no Leefmc :D
[04:14] <alan_m> to whomever that helped me with my .dmrc issues, thank you! it worked!
[04:14] <Takeshi> it comes with freeDOS
[04:14] <exoplasm> Takeshi: make a bootable usb stick with dos on it! :D
[04:14] <willwh> Leefmc: every plugin/script for irssi is written in perl :P
[04:14] <khajavi> thanks for all I check them soon
[04:14] <Leefmc> willwh, I know ;)
[04:14] <Mr_Milenko> hold on.. do you have a CDRom?
[04:15] <reya276> How can I force my system to re-download all the updates for the past two days?
[04:15] <bullgard4> [Epiphany] What file stores the bookmarks?
[04:15] <Leefmc> khajavi, As i asked before then, what are you having problems with? Simply making an irc acount? Or are you having actual connection issues
[04:15] <Jalathan> Takeshi: all you need to have is command.com and a few other files...
[04:15] <Leefmc> khajavi, (If you answered and i did not see, sorry. Please reply directly to me so it gets flagged)
[04:15] <fred_> @khajavi ... stay safe, i'm off to zzzzZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZ good night everyone
[04:15] <Takeshi> how easy is it to make a bootable usb stick with windows on it, and how big a stick would i need? would 128mb do?
[04:16] <willwh> Takeshi: why would you want to do that? :(
[04:16] <khajavi> Leefmc: I insert irc.gnome.org in server and my nick name but it didnt connect to irc
[04:16] <alan_m> !windows | Takeshi
[04:16] <Jalathan> Takeshi: why are you wanting to update your bios anyways?
[04:16] <Mr_Milenko> Takeshi: you can make a bootable DOS USB pen
[04:16] <Mr_Milenko> Jalathan, he said his fan stops on booting of the Operating System
[04:16] <exoplasm> hmm i've installed virtualbox (nonfree) but i dont see it in any menus... do i need to do something for it to show up?
[04:17] <Jalathan> *sigh* i need to find a way to split the connects/disconnects and the chat...
[04:17] <Leefmc> khajavi, You selected IRC protocol too i assume. Did you get connection errors? Did it "tell" you anything?
[04:17] <Jalathan> good reason though
[04:17] <Mr_Milenko> Thanks for the help guys, I'm off to configure my system
[04:17] <Leefmc> khajavi, One reason i don't like pidgin for IRC, is it sort of hides IRC. Perhaps thats your issue?
[04:17] <Bodsda> hey guys, is it possible to have twin channel view in xchat? so i can see the chat in two channels simultaineously?
[04:18] <bullgard4> Bodsda: Why don't you open two instances of Xchat?
[04:18] <khajavi> Leefmc: ok, I will install alternate IRC software
[04:18] <Bodsda> bullgard1, cause i dont want to
[04:19] <reya276> Can anyone please help, I need to make sure kernel <IP_ADDRESS> loads and not 2.6.24-16
[04:19] <tommy_> how can I tell what partition Ubuntu is using for swap file?
[04:19] <Jalathan> Takeshi: this might be of help: http://www.nenie.org/misc/flashbootcd.html
[04:19] <Leefmc> khajavi, Give Gnome-XChat a try, but i found its features too limited. If you know you want more, go ahead with XChat or irssi
[04:19] <Leefmc> khajavi, many like irssi
[04:19] <tommy_> i changed partition that I want Hardy to use for swap.  How do I tell Hardy to use the new partition?
[04:19] <khajavi> Leefmc: thanks alot
[04:20] <tommy_> !swap
[04:20] <Takeshi> jalathan: there's some kind of bug, because the machine was built for Vista (and its a "budget" model, with very liuttle support for anything a "casual" user wouldn't do) so when the OS starts, something to do with APCI, my CPU fan stops spinning
[04:20] <Leefmc> khajavi, np, nice to be able to help some haha. Considering all the help i've recieved here as of late (my first ubuntu install)
[04:20] <Jordan_U> Johnny_5, I don't have any ntfs partitions to test it with but it seems that even if I rename /bin/ntfs-3g to /bin/ntfs-3g-bak mount still gets far enough to get errors like "NTFS-fs error (device sda2): ntfs_fill_super(): Not an NTFS volume." so I think it is using the kernel driver somehow ( though that is just a guess )
[04:20] <reya276> On my Kern.log it says that 2.6.24-18 was install but only 2.6.24-16 is on the /boot/grub/menu.lst file
[04:21] <connor_> hello everyone
[04:21] <khajavi> tommy_: swapon (is a command promt)
[04:21] <xNinja> hello
[04:21] <khajavi> tommy_: see 'man swapon'
[04:21] <xNinja> how i can mount nfs from network in BusyBox v0.61.pre
[04:21] <tommy_> khajavi, lot of work
[04:21] <will00> what does it mean when irw returns a connection refused?
[04:21] <Takeshi> actually, i think w3hen i put regular ubuntu (32-bit) on, it ran fine, its just since i put the amd64 version of ubuntustudio on i've had this problem
[04:22] <JohnPhys> Jordan_U: Thanks for looking.  Every time I use mount -t ntfs it mounts as a type fuseblk
[04:22] <tommy_> khajavi, sdc3 is my new swap partition I want Hardy to use.  WHat command I use?
[04:22] <khajavi> tommy_: swapon -a
[04:23] <tommy_> swapon -a will find scd3 on itself?
[04:23] <tommy_> by itself
[04:23] <C0_24_SMG_MAU> server matrix.dal.net
[04:23] <khajavi> tommy_: yes I thinl
[04:23] <tommy_> khajavi, you think? lol
[04:23] <Jalathan> Takeshi: i went back and looked at your chat history.  hrm...
[04:23] <tommy_> khajavi, you are new like me I see :)
[04:23] <khajavi> tommy_: :-D
[04:23] <tommy_> !swapon
[04:24] <ubnt> hello world
[04:24] <khajavi> tommy_: you can swap on your swap partition from gparted
[04:24] <iuri> hi there
[04:24] <khajavi> tommy_: sudo apt-get install gparted
[04:24] <tommy_> khajavi, that doesnt help
[04:24] <tommy_> khajavi, I already used gparted to create 2 partitions for Hardy
[04:24] <kingbilly> khajavi, can tommy_ edit fstab to make it work?
[04:24] <difeta> I have converted some videos to mp4. How can I put them on my ipod?
[04:25] <ubnt> just asking what happens to http://packages.ubuntu.com server why i cant access
[04:25] <tommy_> kingbilly, how can I know if Hardy is using scd3 as its swap partition?
[04:25] <iuri> how to set up openvppn on ubuntu. I ran sudo apt-get install openvpn . it installs properly but there no applet to manage it
[04:25] <xenos> what are thse "linux-headers.foobar" ?? anyone?
[04:25] <tommy_> whats the command to see what partition Hardy is using for swap?

[04:26]  * Jalathan has the 3050, so understands some of the lack of ACPI support for ACER laptops...
[04:26] <dfox1> tommy: does 'free' show swap in use?
[04:27] <bluewook> On first install, how do I configre it to automatically boot up XP in GRUB loader instead of Ubuntu?
[04:27] <kingbilly> tommy, cat /etc/fstab
[04:27] <Takeshi> i tried asking in #debian, but they wouldn't take me seriously, (i was gonna go back to debian, just out of curiosity, cos its been a while, but the cpu fan stopped whern the installer started, so it kept overheating and dying, mid-install)
[04:27] <dfox1> tommy: try 'swapon' and the partition that you reserved for swap. (or swapon -a)
[04:27] <tommy_> khajavi, stop trolling dude. please dont waste my time. if u dont know, just dont give any advice
[04:27] <tommy_> dfox1, what do u mean?
[04:27] <JohnPhys> tommy_: He's not trolling, though the advice might not be the most descriptive.
[04:28] <Flannel> bluewook: a few ways, you can either move it to the to (above ##begin debian automagic kernel list, not just up with the kernels) or add "savedefault" after the entry in your menu.lst and change the "default" to "saved" (near the top of the config)
[04:28] <dabud> i've got a problem with the ntfs-config program    it tells me i don't have permission to open a hard drive that it originally let me open  and it has switched names of the hard drive on me
[04:28] <tommy_> JohnPhys, well his advice stinks lol
[04:28] <bluewook> Flannel: English? =P
[04:28] <will00> does anyone know why irw would return a connection error?
[04:28] <tommy_> dfox1, free says, "Swap:            0          0          0"
[04:28] <kingbilly> tommy_, the command I sent you will answer your question on being able to tell what ubuntu is currently using for swap
[04:29] <tommy_> kingbilly, what command> sorry I missed it
[04:29] <GogDaen> how can i do run 3D graphix in my VIA Technologies, Inc. S3 Unichrome Pro VGA Adapter???
[04:29] <dfox1> tommy: you don't have your swap enabled. Did you make a separate partition beforehand for swap?
[04:29] <kingbilly> tommy_, cat /etc/fstab
[04:29] <ubnt> i want to download the complete ubuntu 8.04 cd's not just the first one any help pls
[04:29] <tommy_> !pastebin
[04:29] <Flannel> bluewook: alt-f2, gksu "gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" then up at the top, change "default 0" to "default saved" and then scroll all the way down to the bottom, and right after "chainloader +1" make a new line, type "savedefault"
[04:29] <Takeshi> GogDaen: with dificulty. try installing DRIconf
[04:29] <tommy_> kingbilly, http://paste.ubuntu.com/17795/
[04:30] <askvictor> how many bytes after the start of the hard disk does the first partition start?
[04:30] <bluewook> Flannel: When GRUB loader asks me to pick an OS to boot?
[04:30] <tommy_> kingbilly, can u please look at my output and tell me?
[04:30] <GogDaen> Takeshi: have you a tutorial?
[04:30] <kingbilly> tommy_, dfox1 raised a good point,
[04:30] <tommy_> what point?
[04:30] <Flannel> bluewook: No, this'll be something you'll edit once you get into Ubuntu.  Then after that, you'll want to choose XP once, and after that, it will be the default
[04:30] <tommy_> dfox1, yes I did
[04:31] <bluewook> Ok cool, thanks :)
[04:31] <kingbilly> tommy_, currently, ubuntu is not using a seperate partition for swap
[04:31] <iuri> does anyone use openvpn around here??
[04:31] <tommy_> dfox1, I made a seperate partiion, told gparted to use as linux swap.  Then I restored an old Hardy backup.  And im runnning hardy now, but it doesnt seem to be using my swap partition. what can I do?
[04:31] <dfox1> tommy: you have /dev/sdc7 set as your swap partition. Do (sudo) # swapon /dev/hdc7) see what happens
[04:31] <Takeshi> GogDaen: no, but i can pretty much talk you through running those....although it's not a great chip for 3d, it's the onboard in all my desktop machines
[04:31] <c9s> hi , how do i specify target path for rar to extract ?
[04:31] <c9s> hi all , how do i specify target path for rar to extract ?
[04:31] <dfox1> and your entry in fstab really shouldn't be commented out.
[04:31] <tommy_> kingbilly, do I need a swap partition then? Because im running Hardy
[04:32] <pokerfacepenguin> I just bought a deluo usb gps device.  Does anyone have one of these working?
[04:32] <jedimind> what is /dev/sda1 normally ?
[04:32] <tommy_> dfox1, how come Hardy is running fine if its not using any swap partition?
[04:32] <jedimind> its a mount, but not sure what device (how do i check)
[04:32] <Flannel> tommy_: Because you dont need a swap partition
[04:32] <morphir_> pokerfacepenguin: yes, depends on what make/modell you have
[04:32] <tommy_> Flannel, what????????????? :P
[04:32] <Flannel> tommy_: Swap is not required
[04:32] <tommy_> Flannel, really? I didnt know that
[04:33] <bullgard4> [Epiphany] What file stores the bookmarks?
[04:33] <dfox1> tommy: it'll run OK depending on how much RAM you have and what apps you use. But at some point you really should have the swap on
[04:33] <askvictor> tommy_: you only need swap if you run out of RAM
[04:33] <pokerfacepenguin> morphir_: deluo gps universal
[04:33] <Takeshi> tommy_:a swap partition is virtual memory, the equivalent of windows "pagefile.sys"
[04:33] <Flannel> tommy_: If you've got enough RAM, sure.  If you run out of RAM... things start going poorly
[04:33] <tommy_> askvictor, what happens if I run out of my 1GB RAM and dont have a swap partition?
[04:33] <askvictor> tommy_: try it :)
[04:33] <morphir_> pokerfacepenguin: google for "deluo linux"
[04:33] <tommy_> Flannel, what happens if no swap partition and Hardy runs out of RAM? Does Hardy freeze?
[04:33] <kingbilly> tommy_, which partition did you want to use again
[04:34] <tommy_> kingbilly, sdc3
[04:34] <jedimind> how do i find out what a specific mount is (/dev/sda1 for example) - what drive it is ?
[04:34] <dfox1> tommy: what will probably happen is apps will randomly quit due to an out of memory killer process.
[04:34] <askvictor> tommy_: hardy prolly won't freeze, but applications might. You won't be able to start new apps
[04:34] <pokerfacepenguin> morphir_: I have been googling all nite, and i see some have it running.   No luck yet.  I'll try linux instead of ubuntu or debian real quick
[04:34] <tommy_> askvictor, i have 1GB RAM!  what could I be running before it ran out of RAM?
[04:34] <kingbilly> tommy_, can you paste the output of " sudo fdisk -l
[04:34] <askvictor> tommy_: firefox :)
[04:34] <Flannel> tommy_: No, you just start chugging along, and some programs might close.
[04:35] <cmX> I am trying to install ubuntu on a AMD 4000 with 2GB of ram and a 7800GT, all i see at the top left corner is a blinking cursor. It loads the disc fine but when i click on live cd or install it just shows a blinking cursor
[04:35] <tommy_> kingbilly, http://paste.ubuntu.com/17798/
[04:35] <dfox1> tommy: for instance. there was this time an aquaintance (back in the very early days of linux) didn't have a swap parrtition and only had a couple of megs of RAM. he told me that closing emacs took 45 minutes
[04:35] <tommy_> Flannel, ok thanks
[04:35] <morphir_> pokerfacepenguin: from what I understand there is support for your gps
[04:35] <tommy_> askvictor, behave, dont tease me :)
[04:36] <tommy_> Flannel, I will use gparted and remove the 800MB swap partition then :)
[04:36] <jedimind> why is it when i run fsck it says that running it might cause serious problems with mounted drives (then lists my primary drive) ?
[04:36] <tommy_> Flannel, is personal data written and stored on the swap partition?
[04:36] <jedimind> WARNING!!!  Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause SEVERE filesystem damage.
[04:36] <askvictor> tommy_: really depends on what you're doing. Go to system->admin->system monitor->resources to see how much you're using, or the processes tab to see individual processes usage. Firefox is using 210Mb on mine atm
[04:36] <Flannel> jedimind: Because you shouldn't fsck a mounted drive.  If you want to fsck it, sudo touch /forcefsck then reboot
[04:36] <morphir_> pokerfacepenguin: is it usb or bluetooth?
[04:36] <nouMenon> I just downloaded a tar.gz file and I need help opening it. I looked up some guides, and they all say to use the command tar -xzvf filename.tar.gz then cd to the directory and type ./configure, but once I try to configure it tells me "no such file or directory" even though I CD'd to the correct directory
[04:37] <pokerfacepenguin> morphir_: i know some folks have got it going.  I have already modprobed pl2303...is usb
[04:37] <jedimind> Flannel: okay but why is my primary drive mounted ?
[04:37] <dfox1> tommy: why not enable it? Take the comment # out of the fstab, save it, when you remount after boot it should find it and automaticallly add it
[04:37] <Flannel> jedimind: Probably because Linux is on it?
[04:37] <morphir_> pokerfacepenguin: then do lsusb
[04:37] <pokerfacepenguin> morphir_: i am just not sure how to troubleshoot furthur..i know that it is recognized as ttyUSB0
[04:37] <tommy_> askvictor, im running Firefox, xchat, terminal and it says 240MB RAM used, and 760 MB FREE
[04:37] <Flannel> tommy_: Nothing is stored long term on the swap partition, but temporarily, sure, it could be.
[04:37] <jedimind> okay ... im a little confused; ubuntu setup the partitions, it made my drives the way they should be by default - i didnt touch anything started from a clean slate... and now i cant fsck without potential massive data corruption ?
[04:38] <khajavi> HELP: any one now how can i boot ISO from Grub? (the target system doesnt have any cdrom)
[04:38] <cmX> Can anyone help me with the blinking cursor in the top left corner?
[04:38] <pokerfacepenguin> morphir_: i have yet to have gpsdrive recognize it
[04:38] <tommy_> Flannel, it doesnt seem i need it anyway. I have over 700MB FREE RAM
[04:38] <Flannel> jedimind: What are you confused about?  Why do you think your primary drive shouldn't be mounted?
[04:38] <askvictor> jedimind: no system can reliably check a mounted partition
[04:38] <tommy_> memory used, 21%
[04:38] <noxix> i cant find flash for mozilla in the synaptic manager. is there another good way to install it?
[04:38] <tommy_> ok now I know, ill remove the silly swap partition lol
[04:38] <jedimind> so i cant run fsck on a drive that has fsck installed on it ?
[04:39] <kingbilly> dfox1, he should edit fstab to use his desired partition, correct?
[04:39] <tommy_> thank you everyone for your help
[04:39] <tommy_> bye
[04:39] <francisco> the game OpenArena comes from quake III 1.32 source?
[04:39] <tenX> noxix: there should be a browser plugin afaik
[04:39] <Flannel> jedimind: you cant run fsck on a drive that is in use.
[04:39] <johninlex> hello all
[04:39] <nouMenon> Can someone please help me open my tar.gz file? The commands from the guides are not working properly.
[04:39] <tommy_> francisco, we can play games on Hardy???
[04:39] <johninlex> like always I need some help, My wife can not use Ubuntu, and she would like for me to reinstall windows, with linux staying the same
[04:39] <dfox1> kingbilly: yep
[04:39] <JohnPhys> noxix:  apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[04:39] <askvictor> jedimind: you can reboot into recovery mode, remount the partition read-only, then fsck
[04:39] <Flannel> jedimind: Like I said, sudo touch /forcefsck and then next time you boot, everything will be fscked
[04:39] <tenX> nouMenon: tar -zxf bia**.tgz
[04:39] <legend2440> nouMenon: what program is it?
[04:39] <askvictor> jedimind: or do what Flannel said
[04:39] <nouMenon> legend2440 it's the sitemap generator for Google
[04:39] <francisco> but openarena looks diferent betwen it and q3
[04:40] <jedimind> i see, problem being i cant seem to boot this laptop consistently. which is why i need to run fsck but there's no guarantee it'll ever boot again if i reboot it heh
[04:40] <askvictor> nouMenon: can't you just open them in the file browser?
[04:40] <nouMenon> tenX is that the word for word command I should use? I already opened the tar.gz i just can't configure and make it
[04:40] <iuri> please help!! does anyone use openvpn around here??
[04:40] <morphir_> pokerfacepenguin: http://www.jasonlebrun.info/blog/research/2005/11/getting-deluo-gps-receiver-to-work-in.html
[04:40] <khajavi> again: HELP: any one now how can i boot ISO from Grub? (the target system doesnt have any cdrom) ?
[04:40] <nouMenon> askvictor what do you mean open them in the file browser? it's a program.
[04:40] <eraldo> nautilus needs paneview!
[04:40] <Flannel> jedimind: well, fsck will run before much else is done, before any of the linux files are accessed.. more or less.  Your other option is a liveCD
[04:41] <pokerfacepenguin> morphir_: i have tried that one and it isn't working for me.
[04:41] <MACscr1> im playing around with ubuntu for the first time and im just running it in VirtualBox. I can't though seem to figure out how to get the resolution above 800x600. I know im only assigning 64mb of video memory, but I should still be able to go higher than that
[04:41] <jedimind> Flannel: yeah live cd might be a good option
[04:41] <askvictor> nouMenon: tar.gz is like a zip file. You first need to extract the files.
[04:41] <jedimind> im gonna reboot and see if it works - wish me luck
[04:41] <nouMenon> askvictor: I extracted the files but now I can't do anything with them
[04:41] <tenX> nouMenon: okay thought you were in trouble extracting the archives content. usually you should stick to the INSTALL or README supplied. generally a "make" and "make install" should do your job
[04:41] <pokerfacepenguin> morphir_: the only thing is i was using gpsdrive, no xgps package and havent configured one ...yet :)
[04:41] <Flannel> !install | khajavi
[04:42] <Flannel> khajavi: That page (first link) has a number of methods for installation without a CD drive
[04:42] <morphir_> pokerfacepenguin: are you recieveing any gps signals?
[04:42] <DarkAudit> The Hauppauge WinTV 950 stick isn't linux-ready yet, so any suggestions for a USB TV tuner and app so I can watch my local stations in HD with an OTA antenna?
[04:42] <nouMenon> tenX: the readme doesn't tell you how to install it and there is no install guide in there. I tried the make command but I can't ./config it
[04:42] <holyguyver> Can someone tell me how I may record the audio output from my soundcard?
[04:42] <noxix> johninlex, i get the following error E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[04:42] <noxix> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[04:42] <pokerfacepenguin> morphir_: when i cat the /dev/ttyUSB0 port it gives me back characters that are not readable...as if it is binary
[04:43] <mocha> Is anyone able to use XM Radio online?  I'm unable to hear any sound.
[04:43] <khajavi> Flannel: thank and thanks for all
[04:43] <tenX> nouMenon: is ther sth like a configure script at all?
[04:43] <rolln1up> sup all
[04:43] <askvictor> nouMenon: what _is_ in the targz file?
[04:43] <DarkAudit> mocha: how are you accessing XM?
[04:43] <mocha> DarkAudit: Via Firefox
[04:43] <morphir_> pokerfacepenguin: why would you cat those?
[04:44] <Tstantonfsu> can someone help me install beryl?
[04:44] <rolln1up> whats the best html editor
[04:44] <pokerfacepenguin> morphir_: to see if there were any NMEA data coming in
[04:44] <Starnestommy> Tstantonfsu: beryl has been replaced by compiz-fusion
[04:44] <nouMenon> askvictor: some .py files and some .txt files and some .xml files
[04:44] <Tstantonfsu> oh alright :o
[04:44] <tenX> nouMenon: compiling sources you often need to install fitting kernel headers/source.
[04:44] <rolln1up> just playing with an ubuntu and apache and wanting a handy html
[04:44] <Tstantonfsu> was wondering why i couldnt find out how to do it
[04:44] <nouMenon> tenX: there might be, there's a file setup.py I will try that
[04:45] <cary_jebus> I always thought installing new programs in linux was hard
[04:45] <pokerfacepenguin> morphir_: i admit i dont have much experience troubleshooting usb under linux
[04:45] <DarkAudit> mocha: XM seems to be having issues with their online services. Some players work, others don't. I tried the MCE XM app in XP and Vista, but neither worked. Sometimes you have to just let it sit and wait for it to finally connect
[04:45] <cary_jebus> :P
[04:45] <DaddyO> !vnc
[04:45] <DarkAudit> !ATSC
[04:45] <nouMenon> tenX: how would i do that?
[04:45] <nouMenon> setup.py did nothing
[04:46] <DarkAudit> !hdtv
[04:46] <DarkAudit> sigh
[04:46] <mocha> DarkAudit: I have no problems using XP and XM, only with Ubuntu, which leads me to believe it's a plugin issue.  I'm also unable to watch YouTube videos.
[04:46] <askvictor> nouMenon: are you running it from a terminal or from the desktop?
[04:46] <morphir_> pokerfacepenguin: you could try to modprobe pl2303
[04:46] <morphir_> pokerfacepenguin: then do: ls -alh /dev/ttyUSB*
[04:46] <nouMenon> askvictor: I'm running it from within the folder that was created when I unzipped it
[04:46] <cary_jebus> is there a widget manager for ubuntu
[04:46] <DarkAudit> mocha: you have the flash package installed for firefox?
[04:47] <pokerfacepenguin> morphir_: have modprobed ...let me try the ls command
[04:47] <cary_jebus> is there a widget manager for ubuntu???
[04:47] <cvn-ubuntu> hi where do i download MPEG-1 decoder for avi file?
[04:47] <mocha> DarkAudit: Yes, I have flashplugin-nonfree package installed.
[04:47] <fp2007> ok guys, fixed grub and stuff, got back into my distro w/o resintalling, YAY, now, one more problem, whenever I choose to open a terminal in XFCE (xubuntu-desktop), it crashes to server (x-server) with an error 11, fatal crash, any ideas?
[04:47] <tenX> nouMenon: at first this was only a guess. if you're not hitting any error msgs and cant even compile this might not be the right way. but if you need those things you cant install them via aptitude/apt-get
[04:47] <nouMenon> tenX: then how do I  install them?
[04:48] <Starnestommy> !avi | cvn-ubuntu
[04:48] <askvictor> nouMenon: what app is it?
[04:48] <pokerfacepenguin> morphir_: hmmm, it tells me that root and dialout are given rights to USB0.....wonder if it is picking up my modem (which i do not use) somehow...it is internal, and not usb
[04:48] <DarkAudit> mocha: flash on Hardy sometimes refuses to load on a fage... I have to refresh 3 or 4 times to get the flash content to display properly
[04:48] <DarkAudit> page*
[04:49] <nouMenon> askvictor: it's called Sitemap Generator, it's a webmaster tool for Google in order to submit your web-site to Google
[04:49] <tenX> nouMenon: still not sure if you're really in need of them. what have you tried and what is your output? installing what work via aptitude search headers and finally aptitude install "stuff aptitude search brought up"
[04:49] <morphir_> pokerfacepenguin: that is good
[04:49] <cary_jebus> is there a widget manager for ubuntu???
[04:49] <cary_jebus> >_<
[04:49] <Starnestommy> cary_jebus: for what kind of widgets?
[04:49] <morphir_> pokerfacepenguin: it means that you have the rights to dial out
[04:49] <mocha> DarkAudit: I've noticed that as well. Adobe must hate linux/unix or something.
[04:49] <Starnestommy> cary_jebus: gdesklets and screenlets exist
[04:49] <fp2007> any ideas guys? uhm, should I reinstall Xorg, X11? I just removed (completely) xubuntu-desktop, including xfce etc, reinstalled and still bringing up a terminal in X crashes my x-server
[04:49] <DarkAudit> cary_jebus: you mean like screenlets?
[04:50] <pokerfacepenguin> morphir_: but it is a gps device...not a modem...why those permissions/
[04:50] <pokerfacepenguin> ?
[04:50] <nouMenon> tenX: I unzipped the file then CD'd to it's directory and typed ./config and i got the message bash: ./config: No such file or directory
[04:50] <Starnestommy> nouMenon: try ./condifure
[04:50] <balleyne> I'm trying to use my laptop with a projector. My laptop is widescreen, so when I get the projector running, part of the screen is cut off. How can I adjust the X display to fit the size of the projector rather than the size of my laptop screen?
[04:50] <cary_jebus> I never used ether I just installed linux 4 hours ago
[04:50] <morphir_> pokerfacepenguin: no wait, you need to have permissions
[04:50] <cary_jebus> :P
[04:50] <Starnestommy> nouMenon: er, ./configure
[04:50] <askvictor> nouMemon: read the doc carefully: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/docs/en/sitemap-generator.html
[04:50] <holyguyver> Well, can anyone help me out?
[04:50] <nouMenon> starnestommy: I did, same message
[04:50] <holyguyver> I asked Does anyone know how I can record the audio output of my soundcard?
[04:51] <tenX> nouMenon: read the files supplied with the package. there might not even be a config(ure) script
[04:51] <morphir_> pokerfacepenguin: adduser <username> dialout
[04:51] <dfox1> nouMenon: is 'config' made executable (-rwxr-xr-x)?
[04:51] <st1100pilot> cary-jebus: Use Screenlets. It is at least as good as the stuff in Vista
[04:51] <nouMenon> dfox1: I don't even know what that means
[04:51] <askvictor> holyguyver: like a loopback?
[04:51] <DarkAudit> any word on whether x-fi drivers will be available by this fall?
[04:51] <dfox1> nouMenon: what does 'config' have in it? is it  a shell script?
[04:51] <pokerfacepenguin> morphir_: already a member
[04:51] <balleyne> holyguyver: I think you need to make sure your sound card supports that, i.e. is full duplex... don't quote me on that though
[04:52] <dfox1> nouMenon: might do: $ chmod +x config
[04:52] <morphir_> pokerfacepenguin: chmod a+rw /dev/usb/tts/0
[04:52] <st1100pilot> carey_jebus: type "sudo apt-get install screenlets" into the terminal
[04:52] <nouMenon> askvictor: it says I have to load it on my web server, does that mean it won't run on my computer?
[04:52] <morphir_> pokerfacepenguin: then start gpsdrive
[04:52] <pokerfacepenguin> morphir_: it is listed as ttyUSB0 in /dev   ...are you sure about that chmod command?
[04:52] <Takeshi> anyone here in east-central Scontland and fancy bringing me a USB flash drive...i don't have one on me, and anyone who could lend me one is asleep, as it's almost 5am
[04:53] <morphir_> pokerfacepenguin: yes
[04:53] <Takeshi> Scotland*
[04:53] <askvictor> nouMenon: it needs to run on your web server
[04:53] <khajavi> HELP: when i join to IRC(with my password) it report me: (10:05:50 PM) NickServ: (notice) This nickname is registered. Please choose a different nickname, or identify via /msg NickServ identify <password>.
[04:53] <holyguyver> askvictor & balleyne yes I am sure my soundcard supports it, all I want to do is know a terminal cammand or else a program that can record my soundcard's output.
[04:54] <morphir_> pokerfacepenguin: now make sure the gps is recieving signals
[04:54] <DarkAudit> khajavi: and do you remember your nickserv password?
[04:54] <Takeshi> holyguyver: audacity will do that
[04:54] <morphir_> pokerfacepenguin: then start gpsdrive
[04:54] <Tstantonfsu> is there a way to get the leopard docking thing on ubuntu?
[04:54] <djaqua> anyone know of a simple gui cd burner that won't break my kde 4.1 beta 1?
[04:54] <nouMenon> askvictor: I don't know how to do that, should I just try something else?
[04:54] <pokerfacepenguin> morphir_: trouble with the command...trying variations
[04:54] <Takeshi> holyguyver: or mhgwaveedit, if you need JACK connectivity
[04:55] <DarkAudit> djaqua: I always used k3b
[04:55] <askvictor> nouMenon: probably, or talk to you web-hosting company
[04:55] <Takeshi> mhwaveedit, sorry
[04:55] <morphir_> Tstantonfsu: sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator
[04:55] <holyguyver> takeshi, well how do I do it in audacity?
[04:55] <nouMenon> askvictor: ok, thanks
[04:55] <Tstantonfsu> thats all i ahve 2 do? o.o
[04:56] <Takeshi> holyguyver: i can't remember how you set the record source, an di'm not sure if i have a coipy in arm's reach....gimme a sec
[04:56] <djaqua> k3b wants to install the kdebase metapackage
[04:56] <morphir_> pokerfacepenguin: try something like /dev/usbdev1.1_ep00
[04:56] <Flannel> djaqua: Thats correct
[04:57] <pokerfacepenguin> morphir_: already chmoded /dev/ttyUSB0
[04:57] <slushpuppy\> Hello, I am having problems copying files to another computer, on the network using samba.  I am having a probem booting the hardy heron alternative install iso on usb stick. I get to  the part where it tries to read the "cdrom" and fails, even after I've mounted it
[04:57] <st1100pilot> slushpuppy\: What Os's are you using?

[04:58] <Flannel> djaqua: Hmmm, you might try asking in #kubuntu, I'm not sure how that's working currently.
[04:58] <st1100pilot> On all your machines?
[04:58] <Takeshi> holyguyver: nope, sorry. i have it on my laptop, but if you've been here a while, you'll have seen that i can't really have that on for long, due to sill ACPI/bios dificulties. if nobody else can help you, try asking in #audacity, #ubuntustudio, or aks me again in a couple of hours
[04:58] <askvictor> almostdvs: keep
[04:58] <jahnkeanater> it there a program that converts music to mp3
[04:58] <pokerfacepenguin> morphir_:a lot of ttys and ptys
[04:58] <djaqua> oh yea, sorry i thought i was there :)

[04:58] <morphir_> pokerfacepenguin: wait... lol sorry... ls -a /dev/usb*
[04:58] <almostdvs> askvictor: does it do automatic backups?  say once a week?
[04:58] <jedimind> whats an app i can use to check my ram ?
[04:59] <jahnkeanater> i want a program that will turn all my music into mp3 format
[04:59] <Flannel> jedimind: memtest
[04:59] <jonny1-26> et
[04:59] <st1100pilot> slushpuppy\: Gotcha. Sorry, can't help with VM stuff. Maybe somebody else in here can. If anything, use the Ubuntu forums.
[04:59] <morphir_> pokerfacepenguin: just give me one of them
[04:59] <pokerfacepenguin> gives me 16 entries
[04:59] <askvictor> almostdvs: dunno; haven't used it myself, but looks nice. Most backup tools will do that tho
[04:59] <slushpuppy\> Thanks anyway st1100pilot.
[04:59] <morphir_> pokerfacepenguin: give me one of them
[04:59] <pokerfacepenguin> morphir_: /dev/usbdev1.7_ep00
[04:59] <Takeshi> slushpuppy: what VM software are you using?
[05:00] <mikejoconnor> I'm having trouble finding a mirror for edgy eft, any suggestions?
[05:00] <morphir_> pokerfacepenguin: chmod a+rw /dev/usbdev1.1_ep00
[05:00] <jahnkeanater> can i make a python program that converts all my music into mp3 and deletes doubles
[05:00] <frances> hello...im a newbie here..
[05:00] <askvictor> almostdvs: yeah, looks like it does
[05:00] <jahnkeanater> or could some 1 make it for me
[05:00] <Tstantonfsu> after i put sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator in hte terminal what do i do for the leapord docking thing? :x
[05:00] <AndreusI> Hi guys, I'm having repetetive issues with booting.
[05:00] <Flannel> mikejoconnor: Edgy is no longer supported, you should upgrade.  http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
[05:00] <morphir_> pokerfacepenguin: if that is the port you connected the gps to
[05:00] <jimdandy> jahnkeanater: only you can answer that
[05:00] <frances> and a new on ubuntu too..:)
[05:00] <SeaPhor> where do i ask questions about ubuntu server?
[05:00] <jahnkeanater> i don know mutch python
[05:01] <Flannel> SeaPhor: here, or #ubuntu-server
[05:01] <mikejoconnor> Flannel: Thanks, that's what I was afraid of
[05:01] <frances> can somebody help me here...
[05:01] <AndreusI> #ubuntu-server
[05:01] <Takeshi> slushpuppy\:which end are you doing the transfer from?
[05:01] <Starnestommy> SeaPhor: this channel or #ubuntu-server
[05:01] <Starnestommy> frances: with what>
[05:01] <Starnestommy> *?
[05:01] <slushpuppy\> Takeshi: I am doing the transfer from the ubuntu end.
[05:01] <jahnkeanater> is there a program that can convert music files
[05:01] <jahnkeanater> fo ubuntu
[05:01] <fredmv> I have a `picky' question regarding fonts in Xfce4.
[05:01] <askvictor> almostdvs: I assume by easy you mean not involving the command line? Coz personally I'd use something like rsync or rdiff-backup started by a cron job.
[05:01] <pokerfacepenguin> morphir_: how would I have known that?  am I changing permissions willy nilly here?
[05:01] <cary_jebus> OMFG
[05:01] <Tstantonfsu> i installed avant-window-navigator or what ever its called through the terminal now what do i do to use it?
[05:01] <Takeshi> slushpuppy: grabbing files from a share on the VM, or copying to a share?
[05:01] <morphir_> hehe
[05:02] <Flannel> mikejoconnor: 18 months.  Has been unsupported for over a month now.  But that repo will work in the meantime (of course, it wont change day to day)
[05:02] <cary_jebus> were the hell can I download screenlets
[05:02] <jimdandy> jahnkeanter: you could look into ruby also. basically you need to pass your files to a conversion tool, lame is good and will allow you to create proper id3 tag info also
[05:02] <Takeshi> slushpuppy\: grabbing files from a share on the VM, or copying to a share?
[05:02] <st1100pilot> carey_jebus: type "sudo apt-get install screenlets" into the terminal
[05:02] <AndreusI> So guys, something has happened to my copy of ubuntu server, and now to my copy of ubuntu server with the ubuntu desktop modules loaded using apt-get that renders the system completely unable to boot, even in recovery mode.
[05:02] <slushpuppy\> Takeshi: copying files, from ubuntu, to a shared folder.
[05:02] <fredmv> Basically, ever since I upgraded to Hardy/Xubuntu, the fonts in some apps (notable in the terminal and on audacious) look a little blurry.  I tried messing with the anti-aliasing settings but to no avail... ?
[05:02] <mikejoconnor> Flannel: thanks for the help
[05:02] <jahnkeanater> thanks i will try those
[05:03] <frances> anybody here?.....",
[05:03] <dfox1> no
[05:03] <Takeshi> slushpuppy\:maybe try sharing the folder in ubuntu, then grabbing them the other way?
[05:03] <Tstantonfsu> i installed avant-window-navigator or what ever its called through the terminal now what do i do to use it?
[05:03] <Flannel> mikejoconnor: Also, once you've upgraded to Feisty, you may consider going to Gutsy at that time, since Feisty will only be supported for another four months
[05:03] <pokerfacepenguin> morphir_: I appreciate your valiant effort...i believe i need to research this more
[05:03] <slushpuppy\> Hmm, Takeshi, do you have a tutorial?
[05:03] <AndreusI> It repeatedly produces "exception Emask" errors on ata2.00
[05:03] <jedimind> Flannel: im guessing memtest doesnt come prepackaged?
[05:03] <mikejoconnor> what's the latest lts release?
[05:03] <askvictor> frances: ask again (a lot's happened since your first try :)
[05:03] <mikejoconnor> gusty?
[05:03] <Starnestommy> mikejoconnor: 8.04
[05:03] <Starnestommy> mikejoconnor: aka Hardy Heron
[05:03] <Flannel> jedimind: Its on all CDs, as well as should be in your GRUB menu already.
[05:04]  * mikejoconnor nods
[05:04] <dmb> AndreusI: i acually had the same issue
[05:04] <fredmv> Anyone have any clue why fonts are blurry on Xfce4/Xubuntu?
[05:04] <Takeshi> slushpuppy\: um....no, i don't tend to document my adventures in filesharing....or anything else i do....once it works, i usually just forget how i did it.
[05:04] <Flannel> jedimind: It'll be the last entry in your grub menu, and it should be somewhere near the bottom on all Ubuntu CDs
[05:04] <jimdandy> Can anyone help me with a usb boot of the hardy alternate cd?
[05:04] <dmb> turns out my hard drive was dead
[05:04] <legend2440> jahnkeanater: sounconverter in synaptic is pretty good. it has a GUI and can convert a whole folder of files
[05:04] <jedimind> Flannel: is there anything i can run while ubuntu is running?
[05:04] <askvictor> fredmv: you using the right resolution?
[05:04] <dmb> AndreusI: do you use encryption?
[05:04] <pokerfacepenguin> morphir_: how do i undo the chmod to reset remove the world permissions on that file?
[05:04] <will00> is there anything like irkick for gnome?
[05:04] <slushpuppy\> It's alright Takeshi, I found one, thanks Takeshi, st1100pilot
[05:04] <legend2440> jahnkeanater: soundconverter in synaptic is pretty good. it has a GUI and can convert a whole folder of files
[05:04] <AndreusI> dmb: No, the machine is new, and for some reason it went away after a while after the installation of ubuntu server
[05:04] <Flannel> jedimind: No idea.  But there are obvious problems with that (since Linux would be using some of the RAM, etc)
[05:05] <AndreusI> But it came back when I apt-get'd the modules for ubuntu desktop
[05:05] <dmb> don't know then
[05:05] <st1100pilot> slushpuppy\: NP
[05:05] <pokerfacepenguin> morphir_: -rw?
[05:05] <AndreusI> It's sitting over the other side of the room repeating the same error message ad infinitum.
[05:05] <balleyne> can anyone help me with using a projector on my laptop?
[05:05] <jedimind> Flannel: how do i get into grub on boot? just hit esc ?
[05:05] <Raspberry> what's the DKMS build system?
[05:05] <pokerfacepenguin> morphir_: got it...thanks
[05:05] <Flannel> jedimind: right after POST, yeah.  When it says "press escape to view your GRUB menu"
[05:06] <jedimind> ok brb again wish me luck
[05:06] <Takeshi> speaking of virtualisation....anyone heard any news about anyone getting 3d acceleration working in a windows VM under ubuntu?
[05:06] <Flannel> jedimind: There is "memtester" which will test it in Linux, but not all of it
[05:06] <will00> is there a way to mask gnome application so they show up in a program like irkick
[05:06] <AndreusI> I thought at first it might be an issue with my memory since I mistook its error message for a memory address, so I ran a full memtest.
[05:06] <almostdvs> if i want my windows partition to do backups, should i set that up before i install ubuntu?
[05:06] <edwardk_> is gnome able to change wallpapers like in kde with its slideshow mode
[05:06] <Takeshi> i read about a program that could do it a couple of years ago, but it only worked on certain multi-core CPUs
[05:06] <jimdandy> brb
[05:06] <frances> ive installed ubuntu inside my windows...
[05:06] <fredmv> askvictor,  yeah, I don't think it's a resolution issue.   It seems to be an effect of the anti-aliasing/sub-pixel rendering in Xfce.      I just hate how it looks, altered the settings, and it didn't change anything.
[05:07] <slushpuppy\> Hi again, silly question, I don't see "Shared folders" under system -> administration :S.
[05:07] <frances> how can I view my windows files inside my ubuntu?...
[05:07] <permanewb> I'm running 7.10. In KDE, in system settings, clicking the administrator mode button does not take me into administrator mode, and I am not prompted for a password. Do you know what that can be about?
[05:07] <tenX> frances: mount the drive?
[05:07] <Starnestommy> frances: ntfs-3g
[05:07] <morphir_> pokerfacepenguin: you should have access to the device now, yes?
[05:07] <darth> sounds like frances is running windows under emulation
[05:08] <darth> so mounting the drive is not possible
[05:08] <tenX> Starnestommy: that works automatically nowadays afaik
[05:08] <slushpuppy\> frances: we are having the same problem :P
[05:08] <Railer> Hey what's the footprint of ubuntu installed?
[05:08] <askvictor> almostdvs: should be seperate really...
[05:08] <tenX> darth: emulation?
[05:08] <Starnestommy> Railer: about 2 GB?
[05:08] <pokerfacepenguin> morphir_: it didn't recognize in gpsdrive, so i removed what we just did to make it look like the rest of the permissons in those directories
[05:08] <Railer> thanks!
[05:08] <darth> yes tenX
[05:08] <frances> No, ive installed my ubuntu inside my windows, so ubuntu is my secondary OS...
[05:08] <darth> frances> ive installed ubuntu inside my windows..
[05:09] <bullgard4> [Epiphany] What file stores the bookmarks?
[05:09] <tenX> darth: what kind?
[05:09] <tenX> darth: i must have missed it
[05:09] <darth> qemu, vmware whatever .)
[05:09] <pokerfacepenguin> morphir_: i found this... http://myy.helia.fi/~karte/haicom_hi-204e_usb_gps_on_linux.html which may be similiar...i am going to compile xgps since it seems alot of people use it
[05:09] <darth> well anyway.... make a share in your windows frances
[05:09] <Starnestommy> bullgard4: try ~/.gnome2/epiphany/bookmarks.rdf
[05:09] <darth> and then mount that share in your ubuntu
[05:09] <tenX> darth: okay, so file sharing should be realized via any kind of networking
[05:09] <darth> yup :)
[05:09] <tenX> :)
[05:10] <frances> well how do I mount my windows files?...
[05:10] <darth> :)
[05:10] <darth> with samba frances
[05:10] <tenX> frances: we are still not sure about you're setup.. so it depends
[05:10] <tenX> or scp
[05:10] <darth> yay
[05:11] <tenX> scp all the way ;)
[05:11] <darth> any kind of networking file sharing thing
[05:11] <darth> even ftp :)
[05:11] <darth> or http :)
[05:11] <darth> yay tenx scp ftw
[05:11] <FloodBot1> darth: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:11] <darth> hahahah sorry floodbot, i know i do that
[05:11] <tenX> darth: i dont talk to spammers :D
[05:11] <darth> lol beaten by a bot :)
[05:11] <frances> this is my situation....I have 2 partition....C: and D: Ive installed my ubuntu inside my windows under c: I can mount my D: but I cant view my C:, it changed into a file system..
[05:12] <BlueLaguna> Will Ubuntu update the firefox debs when version 3 is officially released?
[05:12] <Starnestommy> BlueLaguna: it most likely will
[05:12] <darth> BlueLaguna, yeah they will
[05:12] <tenX> BlueLaguna: yes in case a stable release is out
[05:12] <BlueLaguna> Alright
[05:12] <BlueLaguna> Thanks
[05:12] <darth> btw i am new to ubuntu, i really love it
[05:12] <mikejoconnor> what is the equivilent of http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ for security updates, or is it just included in the http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ repo ?
[05:12] <tenX> frances: your partition turned into a file system? :D sounds like a challenge
[05:13] <Starnestommy> mikejoconnor: there are no security updates
[05:13] <AndreusI> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=472056 <--- I have a problem identical to this person.
[05:13] <frances> what I just know is that I can view my windows file under mnt folder in my filesytem but my windows file is not there
[05:13] <mikejoconnor> Starnestommy: thanks
[05:13] <AndreusI> The system refuses to boot at all, just repeatedly continues throwing those error messages until I reboot it.
[05:13] <AndreusI> It seems this is a widespread issue and not related to the drive.
[05:13] <tenX> frances: your windows file? :D
[05:13] <bullgard1> Starnestommy: Yes, that's it! Thank you very much for your help.
[05:13] <almostdvs> when i install ubuntu, I'm pretty sure i will be w/o internet until i set up my broadcom b43 card following http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=738216  can i install something to my usb key so that i can achieve this without an internet connection?

[05:14] <st1100pilot> People. Firefox 3 is SO much better than Firefox 2. If you haven't upgraded, do so.
[05:15] <tenX> st1100pilot: why is that exactly?
[05:15] <central> where can i find the grafic driver
[05:15] <frances> yes....I cant view my windows file....
[05:15] <almostdvs> it's the fastest browser out now..
[05:15] <tenX> central: under your seat
[05:15] <Flannel> !nvidia | tenX
[05:15] <central> thx
[05:15] <ImThatNerd> I have a Sony PS2 eyetoy and also a Logitech USB microphone. I installed some stuff and my Sony PS2 eyetoy is recognized and shows video with some installed applications like XAWTV. I plugged in my USB mic and went to sound recorder and there was no sound. I went to System, Preferences, and then Sound and was kind of lost to as what to select. I went to http://stickam.com/ which is a webcam site and Adobe flash player seems to not recogniz
[05:15] <ImThatNerd> e my webcam or microphone. I was curious what I should do for it to recognize them and to get my microphone working, thanks.
[05:16] <daemon3> What's the media player called in Ubuntu?  The one that isn't so popular at playing movies?  I think I accidentally uninstalled it.
[05:16] <khajavi> central: via synaptic package manager install nvdia-XXX
[05:16] <tenX> who is ubottu?
[05:16] <Flannel> daemon3: reinstall the ubuntu-desktop metapackage
[05:16] <tenX> some fake ubuntu installation?
[05:16] <almostdvs> daemon3:  just use vlc
[05:16] <daemon3> Flannel: I did.
[05:16] <DarkAudit> daemon3: totem?
[05:16] <Flannel> daemon3: then you have whatever came default
[05:16] <darth> daemon3.... gnome-player ?
[05:16] <daemon3> DarkAudit: Totem is a movie player.  It might be waht almostdvs said.
[05:16] <frances> how can I view my windows file?..........
[05:16] <Flannel> !ntfs | frances
[05:17] <daemon3> Ah, no.  I know it's kind of like Amarok.
[05:17] <frances> thnks.....
[05:17] <DarkAudit> daemon3: Totem is called simply "Movie Player" in the applications menu :p :)
[05:17] <almostdvs> you have to listen to what frances is saying...
[05:17] <darth> install gnome-mplayer
[05:17] <slushpuppy\> Hi, how do I connect to a shared folder, created by ubuntu, from XP
[05:17] <central> ok thx i will try that hop it will work
[05:17] <ImThatNerd> Can anyone help me with my question above? :)
[05:17] <tenX> frances: you need to learn to specify your issues. if your partition is mounted as you mentioned earlier on you only need applications capable of opening your files
[05:17] <Flannel> !samba | slushpuppy\
[05:17] <daemon3> Maybe it was VLC
[05:17] <almostdvs> he has an ubuntu installed inside windows (wubi?) and he needs to access a file that is in windows
[05:18] <askvictor> almostdvs: you might be lucky and it might work straight out of the box. http://blog.gunbladeiv.com/2008/05/hardy-heron-b43-broadcom-driver-setup.html otherwise download b43-fwcutter.deb and dpkg -i it after tje install
[05:18] <DarkAudit> daemon3: kind of like Amarok could be rhythmbox
[05:18] <frances> im checking what ubottu said.....
[05:18] <daemon3> YES! Thank you.
[05:18] <daemon3> :)
[05:18] <slushpuppy\> almostdvs: I made a folder, shared, in ubuntu. Now I want to access it from XP
[05:18] <darth> that "ubuntu inside windows" sounds like either vmware or some other virtualisation
[05:18] <slushpuppy\> Yeah, i am using a VM
[05:18] <Flannel> daemon3: wubi is neither
[05:18] <darth> and then mounting wont do, then he/she needs file sharing over network
[05:18] <Flannel> darth, wubi is neither
[05:19] <DarkAudit> daemon3: I plugged in my ipod and that's what started up
[05:19] <daemon3> I just couldn't think of the nam.e  I know the application, but I couldn't think of the name.  Sort of like that operating system that gets on everyone's nerves.
[05:19] <almostdvs> askvictor: where can i find the b43...  deb?
[05:19] <askvictor> almostdvs: should be in the normal repositories
[05:19] <darth> wubbi is ubuntu on fat/ntfs ?
[05:19] <almostdvs> lol...  link??
[05:19] <darth> !wubbi
[05:19] <askvictor> almostdvs: packages.ubuntu.com ?
[05:20] <almostdvs> ty
[05:20] <Jangari> google earth runs terribly on my system, anyone know any diagnostics for my graphic/video card that could identify the problem? or does google earth just run crap on linux altogether?
[05:20] <ashish> please tell me best IDE for html and CSS in my private message
[05:20] <Flannel> darth: wubi is, yeah.  just NTFS, as fat can't hold files big enough
[05:20] <DarkAudit> harumph... downloading Portal via Steam in WINE, and it hijacked my sound :p
[05:20] <darth> jangari: glxinfo

[05:20] <loner269> just a little f.y.i for who ever works on ubuntu the updater went from 7.4 ce to 7.10 took forever dont know if it cleaned up but do know it didnt restart i had to
[05:20] <danny> hello

[05:21] <almostdvs> i can just double click a .deb in ubuntu and it will do what it's supposed to, right?
[05:21] <loner269> ok by by
[05:21] <darth> almostdvs, yes it will
[05:21] <Jangari> okay darth, what should i be looking for?
[05:21] <todoski> hello friends
[05:21] <darth> it'll pop out a box and let you choose to install the .deb
[05:21] <Jordan_U> almostdvs, If you are trying to get broadcom card working just go to System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers

[05:22] <darth> or it should be anyway... if its not go search for an updated xorg.conf for your saystem
[05:22] <danny> !hp printers
[05:22] <Tstantonfsu> how do i get avant-window-navigator to start up when i start my computer?
[05:22] <almostdvs> Jordan_U: yes, i will not have an internet conection until i get wireless working
[05:22] <DarkAudit> I've been away from linux for a couple of years... i remember the .RPM dependency death spiral. Is it still much of an issue with random .debs one may d/l off the internet?
[05:23] <danny> !hp
[05:23] <Jangari> an updated xorg.conf, eh?
[05:23] <danny> !printers
[05:23] <slushpuppy\> Hm, how would I check my file sharing network path, on ubuntu :P?
[05:23] <darth> no DarkAudit: debs take care of deps
[05:23] <darth> if you want total control over deps look into slackware instead
[05:23] <tenX> slushpuppy\: what does file sharing mean to you?
[05:23] <Flannel> DarkAudit: You shouldn't use random debs from the internet.  Because chances are they're compiled for different versions of everything you have.
[05:23] <danny> !nvidia
[05:23] <Tstantonfsu> how do i get avant window navigator to start up when i start my computer?
[05:23] <almostdvs> Jordan_U: And i believe my broadcom b43 is different from a normal broadcom wireless card that ubuntu recognizes
[05:24] <slushpuppy\> tenX: Sharing files :P, I created 1, now I dunno what path to put inside windows XP
[05:24] <DarkAudit> Flannel: I just add the necessary extra repos and avoid updating stuff from there I don't absolutely have to :)
[05:24] <Jordan_U> almostdvs, What does Ubuntu suggest when you use System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers?
[05:24] <tenX> slushpuppy\: so that would mean smb/cfs sharing?
[05:24] <frances> I'll just post my concern to the forums......Sigh......", thanks for the help..
[05:24] <slushpuppy\> yeah i am using samba tenX
[05:24] <tenX> slushpuppy\: thats what windows shares are about
[05:25] <Flannel> DarkAudit: Assuming the repos are for your version of Ubuntu, yeah.  Otherwise just download the debs manually.
[05:25] <Tstantonfsu> how do i get avant window navigator to start up when i start my computer?
[05:25] <tenX> slushpuppy\: okay so what do you exactly want to achieve?
[05:25] <almostdvs> Jordan_U: iono i'm in windows right now, but i will be  installing a new hdd in my lappy tomorrow so...  yeag
[05:25] <Flannel> DarkAudit: Or rather, not otherwise, but as an alternative to adding them to your sources.list
[05:25]  * DarkAudit was shocked that the scanner on his HP C4280 worked right away
[05:25] <DarkAudit> Flannel: only extra repos for now are WINE HQ nad Medibuntu
[05:25] <almostdvs> Jordan_U: my ubuntu has wireless because i did http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=738216  back in the day
[05:26] <davidmccabe> Is it safe to copy /etc/passwd, /etc/group, and /etc/shadow from an old system to a fresh install?
[05:26] <Flannel> DarkAudit: Sounds good
[05:26] <whs> where is the daily image?
[05:26] <davidmccabe> Also, is there a list of other files I'm likely to want to copy over?
[05:26] <frances> or.... who can help me here?...someone I can private message?...:)
[05:26] <whs> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ seems to be 403
[05:26] <DarkAudit> Flannel: I can even raid in WoW via WINE and not take a significant performance hit
[05:26] <AndreusI> So what does this actually mean? ata2.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0
[05:27] <tenX> slushpuppy\: mount -t smbfs -o username=X -o umask=0022 //ip/share /mnt/mounting_point
[05:27] <Flannel> DarkAudit: yeah, in some instances, WoW works better in wine than windows.
[05:27] <tenX> slushpuppy\: or use smbclient
[05:27] <askvictor> almostdvs: why don't you try booting off the livecd and seeing if your wifi works?
[05:27] <DarkAudit> And on that not, my guildmates want to do a timed ZA run in the morning... g'nite :)
[05:27] <DarkAudit> note*

[05:31] <trask> darth: know that feeling, when i installed the 7.10 i was almost positive it was gonna last a month and i would swap back to slackware. Now its 4 months ago and ubuntu is my 2nd favorite seriously posing for leading posision
[05:31] <Jangari> right, i give up, how do i update xorg.conf?
[05:32] <whs> legend2440# thank you'

[05:35] <slushpuppy\> Sharing folders is a hell alot easier than getting shared folders on VirtualBox to work >.>
[05:36] <luddite> on the new hardy update my wifi stopped working. i have a laptop with madwifi (patched). I cant find any forum posts about it.
[05:36] <acu> guys - I want to buy a smarphone which runs linux or which synchronizes well with Ubuntu or Debian - anyone can give me some hints ?
[05:36]  * alan_m peeks in
[05:36] <askvictor> why would both beagled and trackerd be running?
[05:36] <darth> trask: i am a winxp as workstation and freebsd as anything-else guy
[05:36] <Jordan_U> almostdvs, Here is the .deb you need in case you don't have the link: http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/pool/hardy-cafuego/broadcom/b43-firmware_1.0-0cafuego0_all.deb
[05:37] <luddite> even when i manually modprobe wlan it still doesnt appear in the netwoerk manager
[05:37] <almostdvs> thank you, i was just casually looking
[05:37] <Jangari> there's a range of nokias that run a scaled-down version of ubuntu on the market
[05:37] <darth> ..... but ubuntu is a love-affair, everything is so goddamn smooth on this OS
[05:37] <Jangari> acu
[05:37] <AndreusI> OK guys
[05:38] <AndreusI> I managed to boot in recovery mode without the error, selected "fix broken packages" and "attempt to fix X server", completely both, and that got me to the password screen.
[05:38] <dgross18> hey
[05:38] <AndreusI> Don't know exactly what happened to fix the problem, but I'm assuming that the downloaded packages had something to do with it.
[05:38] <acu> Jangari - thanks - I am going to google now again - it is so tough - I found that Google initiated an open source OS - android - for phones - but no info is out
[05:39] <darth> the only thing i am missing in ubuntu is a decent handbook
[05:39] <balleyne> I'm having trouble with my screen getting cut off when I hookup my Ubuntu Thinkpad up to a projector - can anyone help me?
[05:40] <trask> darth: lol what is my biggest problem with it. its too smooth, i had to swap to fluxbox just to get it to be atleast a little challenging. Atleast on slackware you can spend your are forces to learn new stuff all the time.
[05:40] <darth> ...and a section callled "this is how you recompile your kernel (without breaking stuff)"
[05:40] <trask> ok that needed a trimming that last msg
[05:40] <darth> trask: lol i had to get used to that too
[05:40] <amrik> Hi where can I get a changelog for the new hardy kernel -19?
[05:40] <BonezAU> i'm using Ubuntu hardy and ndiswrapper with a dlink usb wireless device. on every 2nd reboot my wireless does not work. can anyone help??
[05:40] <darth> so i just imagine ubuntu as a better windows
[05:40] <darth> a much better windows
[05:40] <askvictor> balleyne: are there keys/key combos on your laptop that change the screen output?
[05:40] <darth> "dont forget you dont need to su in a terminal"
[05:41] <darth> trask: i would have installed freebsd and fluxbox on this laptop and spent countless hours getting things to work if i hadnt gone the ubuntu-way
[05:41] <tommy_> how do I turn off swap?
[05:41] <darth> it is awesome!
[05:41] <askvictor> darth: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
[05:41] <balleyne> askvictor: yeah, I have the Fn+F7 button (LCD) set to run i810rotate, which has got the toggle working. It's just that a little portion of the screen gets cut off on the right side, on the external (projector), which is a pain for presentations :S
[05:41] <Technoviking> BonezAU: What does dmesg say about your wireless card when it fails
[05:41] <alan_m> tommy_, you asked that question earlier and were answered, did you forget?
[05:41] <darth> but very very UN-challenging
[05:42] <luddite> BonezAU : you have to add your modprobe commands to startup
[05:42] <alan_m> tommy_, swapoff
[05:42] <tommy_> alan_m, i just deleted the swap partition.  and rebooted. Is swap off?
[05:42] <darth> yes tommy_
[05:42] <BonezAU> luddite, what modprobe commands would they be? i used ndisgtk to configure the windows driver. i'm a bit new at this
[05:42] <alan_m> tommy_, yeah it is if you did that.
[05:42] <tommy_> alan_m, swapoff doesnt do anything
[05:42] <luddite> is it ndiswrapper?
[05:42] <tommy_> darth, ok
[05:42] <askvictor> balleyne: does the projector have an autoadjust type button?
[05:43] <askvictor> balleyne: or you could try xvidtune
[05:43] <darth> i have a kernel-module loading question... where do i put that i want my computer to load a module on boot?
[05:43] <tommy_> darth, Hardy doesnt have a swap partion anymore as I deleted the whole partition.  So it is smart enough to realise that and turn swap off?
[05:43] <askvictor> darth: /etc/modules
[05:43] <luddite> BonezAU: sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[05:44] <darth> tommy: you could make a swap-file if you wanted to
[05:44] <BonezAU> luddite, oh of course, thank you I will try that
[05:44] <tommy_> darth, I dont need one
[05:44] <darth> i ran this 1GB laptop without swap for a week no problem
[05:44] <luddite> BonezAU: no probs
[05:44] <askvictor> tommy_: restart?
[05:44] <tommy_> askvictor, i rebooted after I deleted the swap partition., and hardy seems to be running
[05:45] <balleyne> askvictor: ok, might check out xvidtune, it seems to be working now... but I don't trust it, lol
[05:45] <trask> darth: i see windows as something very different. if your a heavy gamer thers little option. if your a lucky homeuser that doesnt game or have a weird homebanking ubuntu is currently what is recommendable.
[05:45] <tommy_> the swap partition doesnt exist anymore, so im wondering if Hardy is still trying to look at the partition where it used to be??
[05:45] <darth> thnks askvictor
[05:45] <darth> ohhhh
[05:45] <darth> then nano /etc/fstab tommy
[05:45] <askvictor> tommy_: it should be fine, but you could also look in /etc/fstab and delete the line which has swap as the third thing
[05:45] <darth> and see if it still has the swap-mount
[05:46] <frances> i need help.... for details please click here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5133027#post5133027

[05:47] <askvictor> frances: you want to get rid of windows?
[05:47] <tommy_> askvictor, http://pastebin.com/m2a810777  <-- which lines do I delete?
[05:48] <tommy_> askvictor, do I delete everything under, "# /dev/sdc7" ?

[05:48] <ashish> where can i find dictionary for linux
[05:48] <darth> trask.....
[05:48] <Starnestommy> ashish: what kind of dictionary?
[05:48] <tommy_> askvictor, so I delete this whole line, "UUID=2bc77aa5-6727-4f44-bedc-fd05b6d9d07d none            swap    sw              0       0" ?
[05:48] <ashish> oxford dictionary
[05:48] <askvictor> tommy_: just delete line 8 (and 7 if you want; doesn't really matter as it's a comment, but lets keep things clean :)
[05:48] <ashish> english dictionary
[05:48] <askvictor> tommy_: yep
[05:49] <Starnestommy> ashish: you could use dict
[05:49] <Starnestommy> ashish: although that's terminal-based
[05:49] <darth> yes tommy: things under sdc7 would be it
[05:49] <luddite> my wlan0 will not appear. any help?
[05:49] <ashish> oh
[05:49] <askvictor> tommy_: don't delete the last line (/dev/scd0)
[05:49] <tommy_> askvictor, is this right now? http://pastebin.com/m57455e2d
[05:50] <BonezAU> what is the best way to add 'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper' to my startup scripts?
[05:50] <askvictor> tommy_: yep; you can also delete line 7 as it's a comment refering to what you just deleted
[05:50] <frances> @askvictor: yes I want to get rid of windows..
[05:50] <tommy_> askvictor, leave it like this now?  http://pastebin.com/m6ec7046
[05:50] <askvictor> frances: that might be tricky if you've installed inside a  windows partition
[05:50] <almostdvs> ashish: do you have gnome do?
[05:51] <askvictor> tommy_: yep thats good
[05:51] <amenado> what am I doing wrong  with vncviewer ipaddr:5901 and I dont get the xterm window compared to if I use the browser  ipaddr:5801  then I get the window
[05:51] <tommy_> askvictor, :-)
[05:51] <ashish> ya
[05:51] <ashish> i have gnome
[05:51] <Jordan_U> BonezAU, add 'ndiswrapper' to /etc/modules
[05:51] <tommy_> askvictor, so now hardy wont try to find or use any swap partition or swap file?
[05:51] <darth> BonezAU, in /etc/modules
[05:51] <BonezAU> cheers mate
[05:52] <askvictor> frances: the easy way: copy everything from windows onto an external hard disk; install ubuntu onto the internal hard disk, and copy back what you need.
[05:52] <darth> soooo i think you would just add "ndiswrapper" to the file BonezAU
[05:52] <askvictor> tommy_: thats right
[05:52] <tommy_> askvictor, ok cheers big ears :-)

[05:54] <alan_m> !language | darth
[05:54] <luddite> thats alot of $$ darth
[05:54] <tenX> darth: so your complaint is? stuff being too fast?
[05:54] <darth> :)
[05:54] <the_shark> cool thanks
[05:55] <almostdvs> hallelujah joyful joyful, my new external hdd is already fat32!!!  :)
[05:55] <darth> nah not complaining just pondering
[05:55] <darth> luddite, not really, ram is dirt-cheap now
[05:55] <the_shark> someone told me there was a site with intructions for dvd.to explains how to get dvd to run.
[05:55] <tenX> darth: pondering? about what? downgrading?
[05:55] <darth> nooooooooo
[05:56] <askvictor> darth: with that rig I'd use a virtual machine setup
[05:56] <darth> why i haven't been using ubuntu waaay sooner
[05:56] <DarkAudit> if I want to adjust screensaver settings for each individual module, I have to ditch gnome-screensaver?
[05:56] <Starnestommy> !dvd | the_shark, was it this?
[05:56] <tenX> darth: what have u been using before?
[05:56] <darth> this is me talking to friends who use ubuntu "wah wah but i want to play my games, i NEEEEED microsoft"....
[05:56] <darth> tenx: winxp
[05:56] <Jordan_U> darth, If you are looking for a fun thing to do try this: burn a knoppix DVD, boot from said DVD with the 'toram' kernel parameter, eject the DVD.... then keep using the live system as it exists only in RAM :)

[05:57] <luddite> sortudo_78 http://www.ubuntugeek.com/atheros-ar5007-wireless-with-madwifi-on-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron.html
[05:57] <amenado> sortudo_78-> ethernet or wifi?
[05:58] <darth> tenx: i've been dodging the upgrade from winxp since i dont care for vista at all...
 I tryed Ubuntu for desktop and server too, bolth does not work
[05:58] <tenX> darth: i stick to basic graphic realization like fluxbox ;p or even bash only
[05:58] <luddite> i have the 4315 version of that laptop
[05:58] <amenado> sortudo_78-> what does not work?
[05:58] <darth> i love fluxbox, it was my first gui in bsd
[05:58] <luddite> you need to install the madwifi drivers
[05:58] <luddite> sortud0_78 ^
[05:58] <Jordan_U> tenX, X is a great way to keep your shells organized isn't it :)
[05:58] <tenX> darth: what bsd flavor?
[05:58] <darth> tenx: free free free
[05:58] <tenX> Jordan_U: X?
[05:59] <darth> i used to work at a place where khp was emplyed too
[05:59] <tenX> darth: open open open :p
[05:59] <Jordan_U> tenX, X11, Xorg
[05:59] <sortudo_78> amenado: bolth i trued ( ethernet rtl8139 and atheros ?????? something) does not worktoo
[05:59] <darth> phk is a kernel-developer on freebsd, made a lot of cool stuff
[05:59] <amenado> sortudo_78-> are you using dhcp or static ip addressing?
[06:00] <tenX> Jordan_U: okay thats fine :) we were exchanging about wms though
[06:00] <zero88> Does anyone in here have any degree in Information Systems????
[06:00] <sortudo_78> i using dhcp
[06:00] <Sergiu> hello
[06:00] <zero88> hi
[06:00] <sortudo_78> i ahve a dualboot windows work fine
[06:00] <darth> tenX, i like the bsd-license
[06:00] <darth> tenX: you use openbsd?
[06:01] <Sergiu> anyone know, what is more lightweight to CPU resources , ubuntu hardy or ubuntu gutsy?
[06:01] <tenX> darth: i am not too familiar with all of that license stuff i have to admit
[06:01] <Punyhuman> Hi, I have a HP d530s desktop PC, it's a few years old. I want to update the BIOS, but HP only supplies windows executables. Can anyone help?
[06:01] <Sergiu> i think that hardy needs more cpu requirements ..
[06:01] <amenado> sortudo_78-> are you booted to ubuntu now? can you paste your  sudo ifconfig -a; route -n ; cat /etc/resolv.conf
[06:01] <tenX> darth: i used to - got one of my 6 home systems running openbsd
[06:01] <Jordan_U> Sergiu, I would guess Hardy, FF3 is certainly much leaner
[06:01] <sortudo_78> ]i think that thise problem is a level under the hardware driver !!!
[06:02] <darth> home systems rule!
[06:02] <Sergiu> Jordan_U, i think with 1GB memory ubuntu will work much faster:):)
[06:02] <darth> paying electrical bills suck
[06:03] <sortudo_78> i shure it is not a hardware problem, but i could be a level unedre driver problem, may be becose my processor is an amd turion 64?
[06:03] <darth> i have 4 computers running freebsd at home ;)
[06:03] <radius_> ubuntu is nice wit 4 gigs
[06:03] <radius_> :)
[06:03] <Sergiu> :rofl:
[06:03] <tenX> darth: i'd like to play around with openbsd a lot more but i lack the time :/
[06:03] <darth> tenx: you should try freebsd
[06:03] <Sergiu> with 4 Gigs and vista is nice..
[06:03] <tenX> darth: for what?
[06:03] <darth> its much easier to work with than openbsd
[06:03] <radius_> vista = ghey
[06:03] <darth> for anything
[06:03] <jussi01> !ot
[06:03] <darth> but mostly servers
[06:04] <darth> it has pf now... i use freebsd as firewall
[06:04] <sortudo_78> debian had configured my ethernet and my wireless !!!
[06:04] <tenX> darth: i dont want to use that kind of system for a desktop system or anything. i'd like to use openbsd for routing issues
[06:04] <amenado> sortudo_78-> are you booted to ubuntu now? can you paste your  sudo ifconfig -a; route -n ; cat /etc/resolv.conf <-- can you do this, if not, good luck
[06:04] <solrize> is there a 32 bit installable compatibility package so i can run 32 bit firefox?
[06:04] <Jordan_U> solrize, What for?
[06:05] <Starnestommy> solrize: I think it might be ia32-libs
[06:05] <tenX> darth: routing/firewalling/content inspection
[06:05] <solrize> i have a 64 bit hardy install and want to run a 32 bit package
[06:05] <Jordan_U> !flash64 | solrize
[06:05] <solrize> nothing to do with flash, i want to run firefox 3.0 rc2
[06:06] <sortudo_78> amenado i just tryed to install server versio of cd, i cuold make a quiky install of desktop versio to send thise for you, could you wait a fill minutes?
[06:06] <tenX> why would anyone run release candidates?
[06:06] <ashish> how to extarct xampp
[06:06] <SuperLag> wow
[06:06] <ashish> where to install this
[06:06] <SuperLag> the main mirror is molasses
[06:06] <sortudo_78> ok, i will intall desktop version
[06:06] <amenado> sortudo_78-> you can leave the server installed, just paste the info i requested
[06:06] <Punyhuman> Hi, I have a HP d530s desktop PC, it's a few years old. I want to update the BIOS, but HP only supplies windows executables. Can anyone help?
[06:07] <askvictor> tenX: coz they're really close to the final thing? To help with testing?
[06:07] <Starnestommy> tenX: someone has to test them in order to fix bugs before the final release, and some people like trying new features but don't care about stability
[06:07] <sortudo_78> amendo, server does not come with graphics gnome ore xserver :(
[06:07] <amenado> sortudo_78-> well i dont want to wait, you can try your luck later.. btw, you can try to use the command line
[06:07] <tenX> askvictor: okay thats fine. i was referring to "normal" users
[06:07] <sortudo_78> in a fill minute i will send it for you, could you wait?
[06:07] <tenX> Starnestommy: of course :/
[06:08] <edwardk_> is gnome able to display/set wallpaper in a slideshow style?
[06:08] <tenX> edwardk_: gnome can slideshow your a$$
[06:08] <DarkAudit> gnomescreensaver is crippleware and nannyware "we don't want to let you configure this" is not an acceptable position
[06:09] <ashish> some one tell me on private chat how to install xampp and where to extract in
[06:09] <askvictor> tenX: the final release candidate 'becomes' the release version. That's why it's called the release candidate. RCs are stable.
[06:10] <redcuber> whenever I boot into ubuntu, I get a busybox shell. can anyone help?
[06:10] <jimdandy> hey i'm back.. still having prob.'s booting an iso on usb, can anyone help?
[06:10] <Starnestommy> redcuber: check the output of dmesg
[06:10] <Filled-Void>  need some help :(
[06:10] <redcuber> i tried that. the command doesnt work
[06:11] <edwardk_> i hae seeing just one wallpaper and would like it to autochange like i can in kde
[06:11] <Filled-Void> oops
[06:11] <sortudo_78> 8139too version 0.9.28 RTL at 0xa000 IRQ 16
[06:11] <tenX> askvictor: why is a rc not released as a stable version right away? it's used as a testing release shortly before being published
[06:11] <sortudo_78> 8139too version 0.9.28 RTL at 0xa000 IRQ 16
[06:11] <sortudo_78> it detected my card
[06:11] <nks_> Hello All, I would like to know if anyone would know of a good program to use with a Palm T|X on ubuntu 8.04 64bit?
[06:11] <Filled-Void> Was anew kernel update available? Cause after doing updates i have three kernels in menu.lst and i dont have sound or compiz which was working previously
[06:12] <Kira> Good day.
[06:12] <jimdandy> redcuber: are you using disk encryption?
[06:12] <Jordan_U> solrize, What happens when you try to run it, I thought that the ff3 tar.gz included both 32 and 64 bit compatibility
[06:12] <tenX> sortudo_78: not detecting 8139 would suck kinda
[06:13] <solrize> jordan_u it can't run firefox-bin
[06:13] <solrize> because it's 32 bit only
[06:13] <askvictor> tenX: well, it's the very last testing phase. If there are no major problems found, it becomes the release. If there are problems, then another RC is born. But to get out of beta and into RC it has to be stable.
[06:13] <sortudo_78> tenX: i agree, but why these cards works on debian and do not on ubuntu? may be driver version ?
[06:13] <solrize> i installed libs-32 and now it works
[06:13] <solrize> ia32-libs i mean
[06:13] <dolphin_noel> someone knows why ... the ubuntu it is allways asking me for acess the key ...?! in the wireless?!
[06:13] <jimdandy> !usbboot
[06:13] <tenX> askvictor: of course rc is not beta. but still its not stable :)
[06:14] <jimdandy> !usb
[06:14] <Kira> How do I give a name to my Ubuntu machine so that it appears in a Windows workgroup (with no domain)?
[06:14] <tenX> sortudo_78: 8139 is like a freaking bj, just basic
[06:14] <Mart> hi
[06:14] <DarkAudit> !xscreensaver
[06:15] <Mart> i have a question about ssh tunneling, is this a good place to ask it?
[06:15] <tenX> Mart: yes
[06:16] <darth> tenx: i just remembered, you could also look into freenas and m0n0wall
[06:16] <tenX> darth: for what again?
[06:16] <darth> if you want to try some kind of freeee bsd ;)
[06:16] <xodiak> Anybody able to help me get videos to play? Youtube within browser does not play. Stand-alone video using Movie Player and VLC media player does not play video
[06:17] <tenX> m0n0wall i know as a firewalling distro. never tired it though
[06:17] <tenX> brb
[06:17] <darth> freenas is a leightweight freebsd file server with http-interface
[06:17] <Mart> for some reason when i create a dynamic tunnel and then change firefox's socks config accordingly i can visit "what's my ip" sites and see expected result, but when i create a local tunnel (like: ssh -L 1080:myip.dk:80<EMAIL_ADDRESS>I get unexpected results (usually error pages or blank pages)
[06:17] <Filled-Void> COuld anyone tell me what to do if I lost both sound and compiz effects once i installed the kernel update for 2.6.24-18 . Im pretty new to Ubuntu so not sure on how to proceed. Or is a reinstall the way out?
[06:17] <Janice8954> G'day mates
[06:18] <darth> Filled-Void, what happens if you boot 17 or 16?
[06:18] <Janice8954> Does anyone know of a Audio editing/mixing/multi recorder other than Audacity that doesn't use jack?
[06:18] <Mart> ...after i create the local tunnel i attempt to brows to http://localhost:1080
[06:18] <darth> do you get sound and compiz back?
[06:18] <JuzzyD> Can anyone help witha  3d rendering issue. 64 bit Hardy Install with Radeon x800 pro
[06:18] <Filled-Void> darto be frank I never tried :x I assumed i would get the same thing. Ill try and check if that works. Thanks :)

[06:20] <drash> hi all
[06:21] <paraita> hi everyone
[06:21] <Janice8954> I want to know the answer to that as well slim. I have an HTC S620 running Windows MObile 6.1
[06:21] <sortudo_78> slimjimflim: have you every seen kpilot?
[06:21] <slimjimflim> nope
[06:21] <gian__> i am new and i installed 5.10 ubuntu because i am courious

[06:21] <yell0w> @_@
[06:21] <sortudo_78> try that, very nice
[06:21] <yell0w> gian__: if you're curious, get 8.04
[06:21] <gian__> does anybody know the default root login password?
[06:21] <slimjimflim> gian_i'd try 7,x
[06:21] <slimjimflim> *7.x

[06:22] <slimjimflim> gian__ i'd try 7.x
[06:22] <gian__> ok ok ok i know there the new 8.04 but i wanted to see 5.10
[06:22] <JuzzyD> im pretty sure the fglrx drivers worked ok in fedora, I might just have to go back to that :/
[06:22] <Starnestommy> gian__: sudo -i
[06:22] <sortudo_78>   slimjimflim:   >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>           http://cvs.codeyard.net/kpilot/
[06:22] <sortudo_78> kpilot
[06:22] <Janice8954> So no one knows anything about Audacity
[06:22] <yell0w> JuzzyD: works ok for me since 6.06
[06:22] <Janice8954> That's a bit sad then?
[06:23] <the_shark> computers today fucking sucks
[06:23] <gian__> ok
[06:23] <donspaulding> if you had 30 servers, each with (5) 250GB drives, 12GB of ram and dual-proc xeons, what would you do with them?
[06:23] <JuzzyD> yell0w: Mine works fine for most things, but whenever it's required to do any 3d rendering, it kinda flickers
[06:23] <Janice8954> Watch your profanity please mate.
[06:23] <Diaper_Rash> dont bring up scott kazmir
[06:23] <Janice8954> I dont like it.
[06:23] <donspaulding> I'm looking for ideas  ;-)
[06:23] <scunizi> Janice8954, audacity doesn't work with pulse audio at the moment.
[06:23] <drash> Janice8954: just entered, didn't see your question .. Audacity problems ?
[06:23] <Shpook> Hello everyone. I was in here a few days ago trying to extract data off a damaged hdd. Well, I've found a way, but need help. Using dd, I was able to copy the hd to mine, but ended up copying the MBR from the bad hd and overwriting my MBR. Is there a way to copy the contents of the bad hd into a folder on my computer?  It did the same on windoze though.
[06:24] <Janice8954> SO I don't think it's the audio server really.
[06:24] <ben_underscore> hello, anyone with experience using "share folder" in nautilus?
[06:24] <Janice8954> Any idea how to configure Jack properly then?
[06:24] <scunizi> nope.. never used it.
[06:24] <JuzzyD> It says yes and it does render, but not constant
[06:24] <xodiak> Anybody able to help me get videos to play?
[06:25] <yell0w> JuzzyD: make sure the driver is ATI, not mesa
[06:25] <JuzzyD> Like I can run glxgears, but as I move my mouse across the screen the rendered image will dissapear and reappear at random
[06:25] <scunizi> !video | xodiak
[06:25] <Janice8954> hah, That's easy xodiak.you probably haven't the proper codecs
[06:25] <Filled-Void> darth, Thank you bud :)
[06:25] <sortudo_78> xodiak, just know that you need codec, but dont know how  :(
[06:25] <ben_underscore> i'm trying to share a folder and it installs samba etc but then says that i don't have permissions to do it ... perhaps i should run nautilus under gksudo?
[06:25] <Janice8954> Just get VLC player
[06:25] <Filled-Void> darth, Now a question why does my kernel 24-17 work but not the newer one?
[06:26] <sortudo_78> yes, vls is a good idea !!!!
[06:26] <xodiak> sortudo_78: thought I'd taken care of all that. but nada.
[06:26] <Jalathan> JuzzyD, do you have compiz/visual effects running?
[06:26] <HappyHater> can I access files on my local drive, from xp running in vmware?
[06:26] <Janice8954> That usually solves the problem, and it can be found in Synaptic
[06:26] <sortudo_78> vlc !!!!
[06:26] <Starnestommy> Filled-Void: because something broke in the new kernel or isn't compatible with it
[06:26] <Filled-Void> Starnestommy, Should I be removing it then?
[06:26] <tenX> HappyHater: in what setup?
[06:26] <Filled-Void> And should i still update my system using system updates?
[06:26] <randall> why does java run sluggish in ubuntu and is there a way to make it run better
[06:26] <Janice8954> So no one knows how to Configure Jack?
[06:26] <JuzzyD> I certainly do
[06:27] <Starnestommy> Filled-Void: the new kernel's problems may be fixed sometime in the near future
[06:27] <tenX> HappyHater: vmware supports shared access on windows machines but it has been known for many security issues
[06:27] <scunizi> HappyHater, yes.. but it's usually easier to use ubuntu to access xp in the vm to copy things across.
[06:27] <Janice8954> Juzzy: was that in response to my question?
[06:27] <putr1_16_cute> what happen?
[06:27] <Diaper_Rash> wta if i already downlaodeed it is it the same command
[06:27] <JuzzyD> no, to Jalathan's
[06:27] <darth> Filled-Void, thats a good question, which i can't answer
[06:27] <Janice8954> Ah, sorry then.
[06:27] <sortudo_78> happyhater: that i know, you cant :(
[06:27] <JuzzyD> Sorry :/
[06:27] <sortudo_78> 64%
[06:27] <Filled-Void> darth, Np :)
[06:27] <Janice8954> I am even in LAU and no one is chatting.
[06:27] <Shpook> !dd
[06:28] <ben_underscore> randall: install sun java
[06:28] <tenX> HappyHater: as far as i am concerned i'd always disable file sharing issues with the hosting machine and transfer files via any kind of networking service (ftp/scp/smb/cfs)
[06:28] <Diaper_Rash> hey
[06:28] <Janice8954> eww
[06:28] <Janice8954> Interesting Nick.
[06:28] <JuzzyD> Maybe I should file a bug report
[06:28] <HappyHater> only reason I'm even running xp is so I can media share with my xbox, haven't been able to do it any other way :/
[06:28] <slimjimflim> sortudo_78 should it just see the palm when i plug it in?
[06:28] <sortudo_78> JuzzyD: what do you need?
[06:28] <xodiak> video codec followup: do I basically  mark anything with "gstreamer" for installation?
[06:29] <JuzzyD> well my 3d rendering is acting up.
[06:29] <jussi01> Janice8954: jack as in the sound server?
[06:29] <Jalathan> JuzzyD, i found that under 8.04 with compiz running, anything running OpenGL flickers.  by turning it off, the flickering stopped.  however, i haven't taken the time to figure out what is wrong with the fglrx drivers, compiz, & OpenGL yet
[06:29] <Janice8954> Yes Jussi01
[06:29] <JuzzyD> ohhh, there we go, there's my answer sortudo_78
[06:29]  * Jalathan is using a Radeon XPress 1100
[06:29] <Diaper_Rash> and then cog of destiny, sands of time, battle preps, victory or death, (the value of life gaiden), light
[06:29] <kittykitty> lol this takes a long time to load on my ds
[06:29] <JuzzyD> thanks Jalathan, I'll give it a go

[06:30] <jussi01> !ot | Diaper_Rash
[06:30] <Janice8954> jussi01: I tried to run Ardour but it wouldn't work properly. It wouldn't allow me to have recrod and playback capability at the same time.
[06:30] <xenos> i keep getting the following message:

[06:30] <tritium> the_shark: watch the language, please
[06:30] <jussi01> Janice8954: Perhaps try asking in #ubuntustudio
[06:31] <Janice8954> Ah, cheers.
[06:31] <Janice8954> That's the chat I was trying to find.
[06:31] <Diaper_Rash> omg what
[06:31] <Tortollano1982> Hello.I am looking for a utility that will enable me to download multiple page threads in a convenient fashion.Is this possible?I dont want to click on every page.
[06:31] <Jalathan> JuzzyD, i'm not trying to advocate or anything right now, but the nvidia drivers do work correctly with Compiz, OpenGL, and 3D
[06:31] <the_shark> how can i tell if i have a shit dvd drive?
[06:32] <Jalathan> for at least the 6000 to early 7000 series
[06:32] <JuzzyD> Oh trust me, the next time I upgrade, ATI isn't getting a sniff of any of my hard earned green !
[06:32] <kittykitty> the_shark: if youtoss it out a window and it breaks
[06:33] <tenX> been nice talking to ya, i am out.
[06:33] <tenX> have a good night/weekend
[06:33] <sortudo_78> i am so sad with my network problem, i dont know if i am in the right place, i think to rite for some magazine, or something ele, there is any other place that i should try to get help about networking that does not work ?
[06:34] <JuzzyD> what's the quickest easiest way to flip between turning desktop effects off and on. If i run metacity --replace will it turn them off?
[06:34] <JuzzyD> And then kill it when finished?
[06:34] <nickrud> Jalathan that's normal with compiz, it doesn't play well with other gl stuff yet I hear
[06:35] <Filled-Void> Why would updates be listed in update manager and not be selectable?
[06:35] <fserve_> there is a way to use VN 896 with compiz?
[06:35] <nickrud> JuzzyD that's what I do, alt-f2 metacity --replace seems faster than clicking thru the prefs menu
[06:35] <Fatima> Hey People! How do I make a shellscript on my desktop, so I can drag files onto it? I tried, but the files get copied to the desktop.  Blender or the cube :( Why oh why!!!!?
[06:37] <Chrysalis> hey, ive been playing around with clamav, when running clamtk it says i dont have permission to updat signatures and when i run it as root it says i do but nothing happens, it still says my virus signature is of january or something
[06:37] <the_shark> Ubuntu Sucks
[06:37] <JuzzyD_> btw, disabling compiz worked a treat, blender now works fine and dandy
[06:37] <tritium> the_shark: next time it'll be a ban, so watch yourself
[06:37] <the_shark> well it dose suck just like this room
[06:38] <JuzzyD_> Good to see no one feeds the trolls :)
