[12:04] <linduxed> if i want the command 'xmodmap -e "settings here"' and 'xset r 66' to be run as soon as i get into X, how do i do that?
[12:04] <ziroday> th1: try .18 first

[12:05] <perlmonkey> does anyone use audacity? im having a problem with a recording, i have a mic plugged into my speakers but its not recording any sound
[12:05] <perlmonkey> i'm using alsa default on output and input in preferences, and running ubuntu hardy with a C-media IC8738 soundcard
[12:05] <eights> linduxed: system - preferences - sessions
[12:06] <linduxed> eights: but that doesnt apply to gdm rigth?
[12:06] <linduxed> *right
[12:06] <Kartagis> what's the least partition size for ext3?
[12:06] <cept> i am using xbuntu and i have an odd behavior.  Every time i insert a new media (usb jump drive /cdrom) 3 windows open.  where are the settings to adjust this behavior
[12:07] <eights> linduxed: right, sorry i miss read your question, your wanting to start as soon as x starts?
[12:07] <linduxed> eights: yeah
[12:07] <Slart> Kartagis: I'm sure you can make an 100MB ext3 partition if you want to.. or you want to make it smaller?
[12:08] <Kartagis> Slart, let me put it this way, what's the fs I can make a 1mb partition?
[12:09] <th1> ziroday, thanks, it seems to have fixed the problem with the titlebars
[12:09] <syntax\> vmplayer occasionally freezes what could b d cause?
[12:09] <Slart> Kartagis: ouch.. I have no idea how big the overhead is for the different fs-types.. try fat16 or fat32
[12:10] <energY> I am using ubuntu 8.10. Should there be a dist-upgrade now?
[12:10] <Zach_Beauvais> Sorry, one more question... Are there any major obstacles that would make me choose 32bit over 64bit?
[12:10] <Slart> Kartagis: just out of curiosity... what are you going to use a 1MB partition for?
[12:10] <th1> Zach_Beauvais, in newest version of ubuntu I haven't seen any yet.. but before it was a hassle with some browser plugins and especially windows codecs
[12:10] <eights> linduxed: try in your xinit should be /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
[12:10] <ttestt> hello
[12:10] <Slart> Zach_Beauvais: not really.. some proprietary software is only available as 32 bit.. for example my banks firefox plugin for the little security box
[12:11] <Zach_Beauvais> th1: thanks...
[12:11] <Kartagis> Slart, backup for my configuration files
[12:11] <Zach_Beauvais> Slart:  yes... bank's sites seem often to fight with the user ;)
[12:11] <ttestt> look :))  cool keychain :))  ubuntu-keychain http://slil.ru/26540092
[12:12] <Slart> Kartagis: hmm.. you, of course, do what you want with your computer... but I wouldn't mess with such small partitions.. I would make it at least 50 MB or so
[12:12] <linduxed> eights: hmmm, but that wont apply to gdm i think
[12:12] <th1> ttestt, wtf is that a russian cracker site or something??
[12:12] <tommi> Hi everyone! What would you say is the best way to get support for the new microsoft office format to openoffice? Is it possible? I mean not just for the word processor, but for the whole thing (xlsx, and so on)
[12:12] <ttestt> th1: no. file chare server
[12:12] <Kartagis> Slart, what fs would you recommend then?
[12:13] <eights> linduxed: that should execute your commands as soon as the x server is started (beforge gdm/kdm ,etc)
[12:13] <ttestt> th1: there are 250kb file - 3gp video
[12:13] <Slart> Kartagis: then I would use.. ext2 or ext3
[12:13] <th1> ttestt, yes but is it safe to open...
[12:13] <ttestt> th1: ops. there _is_
[12:13] <sleepy_cat> hi
[12:14] <EgYPaRaDoX> My keyboard works fine during grub boot menu...but when intrepid loads it malfunctions...
[12:14] <ttestt> th1: i have uploaded this file
[12:14] <Ryan_Delaney> Slart: Under what circumstances would one prefer ext2 to ext3?
[12:14] <deany> ext2 or fat32,   no journal, less overhead
[12:14] <ziroday> ttestt: chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:14] <ttestt> ziroday: not chat :( look ubuntu-kaychain :)  handmade :)
[12:14] <deany> test for yourself,  format it to each wtih gparted, and see how much is in use after formatting
[12:15] <sleepy_cat> hi ziroday
[12:15] <Slart> Ryan_Delaney: I'm not really sure.. I've never really looked into how much space the log actually uses..
[12:15] <linduxed> eights: will try then
[12:15] <th1> ttestt, ok now I see it ;)
[12:16] <Slart> Ryan_Delaney: but the answer would be "when the space the log uses actually starts to be noticable"
[12:16] <eights> linduxed: in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc you should be able to just put your whole commands 'xmodmap -e "settings here"' | 'xset r 66' or seperate them one per line
[12:16] <EgYPaRaDoX> im using an external keyboard other than my laptop..
[12:17] <EgYPaRaDoX> laptop's*
[12:17] <ttestt> th1: or i can find and get such thing in a shop?
[12:18] <eights> EgYPaRaDoX: this may or may not help but i've had similar issue with my mouse and laptop try your function keys
[12:18] <EgYPaRaDoX> what about the function keys?
[12:19] <eights> you know how there are options for external monitor, mouse, keyboar, brightness, etc
[12:19] <EgYPaRaDoX> oh yea i know those...
[12:19] <EgYPaRaDoX> Fn+key...
[12:19] <eights> right, see if there is one for the keyboard/mouse
[12:19] <EgYPaRaDoX> there isnt...
[12:19] <th1> ttestt, it's probably programmable with a bitmap from a PC
[12:19] <eights> k, then its gotta be your xserver config
[12:20] <eights> has it ever worked with the external keyboard?
[12:20] <EgYPaRaDoX> yeah i guess so..
[12:20] <EgYPaRaDoX> actually..sometimes it works..
[12:20] <EgYPaRaDoX> sometimes it doesnt...
[12:20] <eights> lol
[12:20] <EgYPaRaDoX> very weird...
[12:20] <th1> ttestt, www.tradevv.com/chinasuppliers/jade2007

[12:21] <milardovich> Hi guys
[12:22] <th1> ttestt, or even this one in Colour! http://www.netpcdirect.co.uk/lcd-photo-ket-ring.php
[12:22] <milardovich> is there a way to open .ai files in ubuntu?
[12:22] <eights> EgYPaRaDoX: well thats why i think its something with the xserver config, cuz normaly it should work while booting and grub select, but if it doesn't work when your xserver and window mangers start its a problem with yoru config
[12:22] <alexy92> hey guys, im fairly new to installing ubuntu on my computer, i have 3 hdds in the computer and one of them is blank, the blank one is the one i want to install ubuntu onto
[12:22] <th1> milardovich, yes see www.medibuntu.org
[12:22] <eights> EgYPaRaDoX: let me see what i can find, one sec
[12:22] <milardovich> th1: seeing
[12:22] <EgYPaRaDoX> so i should check /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[12:22] <alexy92> when i install ubuntu, it doesnt boot into grub and goes straight to the vista bootscreen
[12:22] <ttestt> th1: :)) no. it's a picture there.
[12:22] <ttestt> th1: thanx a lot
[12:23] <eights> EgYPaRaDoX: yea that would be the first place i would start
[12:23] <alexy92> when using a guided full install, does it automatically install the bootloader as well?
[12:23] <Sub101> alexy92: yes it should install grub
[12:23] <Sub101> alexy92: if it hasnt you can boot into the live cd
[12:23] <eights> EgYPaRaDoX: usb keyboard?
[12:23] <alexy92> ohk
[12:24] <th1> milardovich, sorry I thought it was a different file. ai file is Adobe Illustrator vector graphics..
[12:24] <EgYPaRaDoX> its ummm a ps2 with a converter from ps2 to usb..
[12:24] <Sub101> alexy92: from there there are a few simple steps to add grub
[12:24] <th1> milardovich, try renaming the file from file.ai to file.pdf and see if it will open!
[12:24] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[12:24] <alexy92> ive booted into the live cd several times but have been unable to acess the ubuntu install
[12:24] <EgYPaRaDoX> the file is so small..
[12:24] <alexy92> sorry from where?
[12:25] <milardovich> th1: okay
[12:25] <nnull> i recently got a ATI HD 4350, which is a HD card, and ever since ive had problems with sound, do i need a HD soundcard for HD sound? i don't even have a DVD player let alone a BLURAY so.. don't think i even need HD sound? -- help pls

[12:25] <Sub101> On the page there is are quick steps to install grub.
[12:25] <MatBoy> is there a way to see what kind of scsi targets you have ?
[12:26] <four> ciao a tutti
[12:27] <milardovich> I'll give a chance to inkscape :-), thanks th1 ;)
[12:27] <EgYPaRaDoX> can compiz cause this?
[12:27] <oCean_> MatBoy: try "cat /proc/scsi/scsi"
[12:28] <eights> EgYPaRaDoX: possibly. what does 'lsusb' print?
[12:28] <eights> EgYPaRaDoX: does it show the ps2/usb converter or the keyboard?
[12:28] <MatBoy> oCean_: good one
[12:29] <snarkster> im so totally stumped as to what the problems is.. Fresh install but get error 15 file not found. followed the howto fix grub to the letter. still error 15. If i had hair Id be pulling it out.
[12:29] <EgYPaRaDoX> it shows wireles..
[12:29] <howtoo> somebody know if there's some deb package for monodevelop 2.0 with the integrated debugger?
[12:29] <EgYPaRaDoX> the rest are linux foundation...
[12:29] <MatBoy> oCean_: nope :(
[12:29] <EgYPaRaDoX> root hub..
[12:29] <MatBoy> oCean_: I mean on the iscsi server
[12:29] <eights> EgYPaRaDoX: hmm. so its not reconizing either? weird
[12:29] <snarkster> anyone good with grub issues?
[12:30] <Sub101> snarkster: what was your problem?
[12:30] <snarkster> Sub101: Fresh install but get error 15 file not found. followed the howto fix grub to the letter. still error 15.
[12:30] <aLeSD> hi ... when the mlocate database file is regenerated ?
[12:31] <alexy92> ohk thankyou very much sub101
[12:31] <savvas> ikonia: still there? do you have an iso of feisty available somewhere?
[12:31] <snarkster> Sub101 what other information do you need?
[12:32] <oCean_> MatBoy: ah, sorry. Not sure about that
[12:32] <ActionParsnip> !grub | snarkster
[12:32] <Sub101> snarkster: is this a single boot or dual boot?
[12:32] <ActionParsnip> snarkster: error 15 afaict means it can't find your kernel
[12:32] <snarkster> Right, but I cant figure out why not. :)
[12:33] <snarkster> hd1,0
[12:33] <snarkster> the menu list says that..
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> snarkster: i'd boot to live cd and make sure the files that your menu.lst references are there
[12:33] <snarkster> Im in a live cd right now
[12:33] <IndyGunFreak> savvas: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/feisty/     , but why are you installing 7.04?
[12:33] <savvas> IndyGunFreak: just testing something, don't worry :)
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> snarkster: do you have 2 physical disks in the system?
[12:33] <Sub101> snarkster: i agree with ActionParsnip. Check everything is where it should be
[12:34] <savvas> IndyGunFreak: thanks btw!
[12:34] <snarkster> yes 1 sata 1 ide
[12:34] <IndyGunFreak> np
[12:34] <snarkster> could the sata be interfering
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> snarkster: sata has an ide, but thats by the by
[12:34] <Slart> savvas: still messing with the 7.04 to 7.10 update?
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> snarkster: could be worth a test, try disconnecting the none bootable drive
[12:35] <savvas> Slart: ikonia mentioned that upgrade works, I want to test it before filing a bug report about it, just want to test it here as well :)
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> snarkster: you only have to remove power, power down the pc first
[12:35] <snarkster> but that would surely change gurb then right? sata is hd0
[12:35] <snarkster> grub even
[12:35] <Slart> savvas: ah, ok
[12:35] <IndyGunFreak> savvas: not really sure why it'd be a bug, 7.04 is past its EOL, so support has ended
[12:35] <Fulk> Hi, I'm using Gutsy Gibbon (7.10) and I'm trying to renew a certificate with GoDaddy but it's preventing me saying the CSR includes a possible comprimised key.  Now I have upgraded the ssl-cert package by doing apt-get install ssl-cert and it's at version "1.0.14-0ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>".  I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong?
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> snarkster: if you can verify that is absolutely the case then you are ok, you could try setting it to 0,0 just to test, you can always change it back in live cd
[12:36] <Slart> !gutsy
[12:36] <snarkster> true dat
[12:36] <snarkster> ok brb
[12:36] <ActionParsnip> snarkster: i'd read the grub factoid links as it may help you to identify the disks
[12:36] <Plz> Can someone here please tell me how much 8bit is? Should be around 65000?
[12:36] <Plz> or so?
[12:36] <Plz> 55000?
[12:36] <Fulk> 65535
[12:36] <ActionParsnip> Plz: can you rephrase please?
[12:37] <Sub101> plz: how much what?
[12:37] <Plz> What you mean?
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> Plz: if you want the maxint that an  8bit buffer can hold, its what Fulk said
[12:37] <useruseruseruser> i installed english ubuntu, now i want korean. how to apply the change?
[12:37] <savvas> IndyGunFreak: the bug I'm filing about is because someone complains that they can't upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10, and there should be a notification with a link in the update-manager about this kind of stuff when someone eventually connects to the internet and attempts to update their release (for future releases and EoL that is)
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> !locale | useruseruseruser
[12:37] <useruseruseruser> i used to do it by language settings but i can't select korean that way
[12:37] <Slart> Plz: 8 bits are 8 bits.. can be mapped to integers from 0 to 255
[12:37] <Plz> I have a dc hub running and I got told I need to use another port because it was above 8bit. I had port 76000.
[12:37] <slobad23> i can see my windows network but i cannot see any of the shared folders... am i missing something?
[12:37] <jrib> useruseruseruser: enable the language in system -> administration -> language support first.  Then at the login screen, click on "options" and choose korean for your language
[12:38] <IndyGunFreak> savvas: thats not really a bug though....
[12:38] <Plz> so I wonder how much is 8bit...or more likely, what is the biggest portnumber I can use.
[12:38] <useruseruseruser> jrib, i'm saying i can't see korean there
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> slobad23: are you sure they are shared?
[12:38] <Slart> Plz: two bytes or 16 bits can be mapped to integers between 0 and 65535
[12:38] <EgYPaRaDoX> is there another application that displays usb info other than lsusb?
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> Plz: you arent making any sense. If you rephrase the question using sompler terms we may understand better
[12:38] <slobad23> ActionParsnip, they are available to any windows machine. do i need samba installed on the server?
[12:38] <jrib> useruseruseruser: you can't see korean where exactly?  I don't have "language settings"
[12:38] <Plz> Slart: Ty.
[12:39] <Fulk> Tnyone? I've also recrated my key file, but to no avail :-(
[12:39] <useruseruseruser> jrib, language support under administration
[12:39] <DarkKnight> hey i have problems with flash...can anyone help
[12:39] <eights> EgYPaRaDoX: you could check your dmesg, 'dmesg |more'
[12:39] <Fulk> Anyone even :-)
[12:39] <jrib> useruseruseruser: what version of ubuntu?
[12:39] <ActionParsnip> slobad23: nope, thats only if you wish to share linux folders, try opening your file browser and typing: smb://<servername>/<foldersharename>
[12:39] <savvas> IndyGunFreak: it's a bug as a wishlist if you think of it as a granny that doesn't know how to get further help :)
[12:39] <ActionParsnip> slobad23: obviously replacing names as needed

[12:40] <IndyGunFreak> savvas: bug and wishlist are quite different
[12:40] <useruseruseruser> jrib, why?
[12:40] <jrib> useruseruseruser: so I can try to help you?
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> nnull: any soundcard will do it
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> nnull: just getthe drivers sorted for your soundcard
[12:40] <nnull> ActionParsnip, oh ok, do i need to do extra cables or something?
[12:40] <ubuntu> how can i connect my tv card?
[12:40] <DarkKnight> i have problems with flash...can anyone help me
[12:40] <nnull> ActionParsnip, i have latest soundcard drivers
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> nnull: after a boot, try reading: dmesg | less
[12:40] <savvas> IndyGunFreak: they're both filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug though - I'll ask for it to be included in wishlist
[12:40] <jrib> DarkKnight: best to just ask the channel your question.  If someone knows the answer, they will try to help you
[12:41] <slobad23> ActionParsnip, need to try and find the url navigation bar in nautilus :D
[12:41] <Slart> nnull: not really sure what HD sound is.. I think you can decode most fancy sound streams (DTS, DD, AC3 etc) with a normal computer
[12:41] <DarkKnight> jrib;; which channel did you mean
[12:41] <savvas> IndyGunFreak: I just want to see if this case stands though, that's why I need the feisty iso image :)
[12:41] <ActionParsnip> slobad23: click to the right of the stupid graphical folder theing, it will turn to text
[12:41] <useruseruseruser> jrib, i'll try installing locales, localeconf instead ty anyway
[12:41] <damo> i have a tv tuner card in my pc i used it with windows, now i am wondering if i can use it with ubuntu?
[12:42] <nnull> Slart,  afaik HD sound is sound from blueray-HD movies
[12:42] <Slart> damo: best answer... "perhaps" =/
[12:42] <slobad23> it just shows me an empty window saying "windows shares on <server>"
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> nnull: just make sure your system can play sounds in general then make sure your video software knows to use the correct device
[12:42] <eights> EgYPaRaDoX: 'dmesg | grep nameOfKeyboard' might be more helpful and quicker at least
[12:42] <slobad23> ActionParsnip, if i could navigate to this using the terminal, it would be better :)
[12:42] <nnull> ActionParsnip, the system could play sounds fine before i got the videocard
[12:42] <useruseruseruser> oh... don't have those... i don't know
[12:42] <FloodBot2> !netsplit
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> nnull: maybe you have an irq conflict

[12:43] <damo> is there a way i can setup a tv tuner card in my pc using ubuntu?
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> nnull: check in bios to let the OS assign irqs
[12:43] <Slart> nnull: from wikipedia.. "For audio, BD-ROM players are required to support Dolby Digital, DTS, and linear PCM. Players may optionally support Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, as well as lossless formats Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio."
[12:43] <Sub101> damo: id suggest using mythbuntu
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> damo: is it usb or pci?
[12:43] <damo> pci
[12:44] <useruseruseruser> wtf... i used to do it through language support... used to download automatically.. now i can't even see korean
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> damo: run lspci, one line will identify your tv card, you mayl need to install drivers before using mythtv / tvtime / whatever app you want
[12:44] <useruseruseruser> used to be automatic in gnome
[12:44] <useruseruseruser> ... i dunno
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> damo: websearch for the output you get on your tv card and your on your ay
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> *way
[12:45] <slobad23> ActionParsnip, i take it i need to mount the thing first do i? or should i just be able to browse it through the network?
[12:45] <eights> EgYPaRaDoX: does it list a device path? (ie /dev/usb0, or soemthing)?
[12:45] <nnull> ActionParsnip, if i goto System > Prefs > Sound and do the sound tests they all make noise, but playing saying flash in firefox i get nothing?
[12:45] <damo> ActionParsni: ok cheers
[12:45] <damo> ActionParsnip: okay looking now:)
[12:45] <ActionParsnip> slobad23: no, you can browse it like this
[12:45] <alexy92> hey guys just a quick question, if i have a blank hdd and is labeled as disk 2 in computer management in vista, is that likely to change number when configuring grub?
[12:45] <useruseruseruser> no one's helping me....
[12:45] <DarkKnight> there's a site on which i have my subject notes put in flash format... i am not able to view it though i believe that flash is installed...can anyone help me
[12:45] <useruseruseruser> oh
[12:46] <slobad23> ActionParsnip, do i need to mount it if i am hoping to browse the windows shares through the CLI?
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> nnull: there are a billion guides to that, websearch for 'no sound in flash ubuntu' without the 's
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> slobad23: then you will need to mount with smbmount

[12:48] <useruseruseruser> ActionParsnip, i don't think so...
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> damo: Brooktree Corporation Bt878
[12:48] <benc1> I've installed something from source using
[12:48] <benc1> make
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> !brooktree
[12:48] <benc1> sorry:
[12:48] <Slart> DarkKnight: and what happens when you try to watch these flash movies? you get a grey rectangle? something else?
[12:48] <benc1> ./configure
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> !bt878
[12:48] <benc1> make
[12:48] <FloodBot1> benc1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:48] <benc1> make install
[12:48] <Slart> !enter | benc1
[12:48] <jrib> useruseruseruser: apt-get update may have been run in the background
[12:48] <useruseruseruser> jrib, ok... tyvm
[12:48] <damo> thanks
[12:49] <benc1> I'm building from source http://paste.ubuntu.com/104830/
[12:49] <DarkKnight> Slart; yes i get a grey circle turning round and below it...the word Loading....but even after a few hours i find the same thing
[12:49] <useruseruseruser> awesome...
[12:49] <benc1> what do I need to do to completly uninstall it and what to upgrade it if there is a new source release?
[12:49] <damo> now ActionParsnip am i looking for the driver for Brooktree Corporation Bt878?
[12:50] <bobbyd> Hi, since I upgraded to Intrepid I can't connect to my work VPN any more using Network Manager, I get "LCP terminated by peer (\M-9To^@<M-Mt^@^@^BM-3)" in the syslog when I try to connect. Can anyone help? Also, the settings for my VPN were wiped on upgrading.
[12:50] <jrib> benc1: what are you building from source?
[12:50] <Slart> DarkKnight: oh.. then the flash thingy is probably working.. is this on a public site somewhere? do you have an url?
[12:50] <bobbyd> damo: is that a pencam thing?
[12:50] <benc1> jrib: ejabberd. does it matter? are there differences?
[12:50] <jrib> benc1: yes
[12:50] <alexy92> ?
[12:50] <useruseruseruser> it's quite incredible considering i know close to nothing about configuring and sh1t.... wow
[12:50] <benc1> jrib: can you please explain why?
[12:50] <DarkKnight> Slart; its   campusexpress.co.in     you have to login after registering
[12:50] <benc1> jrib:  I thoguht that make should take care of everything
[12:51] <damo> bobbyd: i have no idea what your talkin about
[12:51] <q_> DarkKnight, do you have AMD64 verdion or regular one?
[12:51] <bobbyd> damo: what's the driver for?
[12:51] <q_> version :)
[12:51] <Slart> DarkKnight: you're not runnnig some other plugin.. flashblock or noscript?
[12:51] <jrib> benc1: because there is no canonical way to remove software after installing it like that.  Some authors provide a 'make uninstall' rule, but many don't.  In that case you just need to rm the files yourself.  What are you building?
[12:51] <DarkKnight> q_; amd64
[12:51] <damo> a video card
[12:51] <damo> to watch tv
[12:51] <damo> ;p
[12:51] <bobbyd> I thought the bt878 was a webcam driver and that it was already in the default install
[12:52] <benc1> jrib:  ejabberd http://www.process-one.net/en/ejabberd/downloads/
[12:52] <bobbyd> have you tried "sudo modprobe bt878" ?
[12:52] <jrib> benc1: ejabberd is in the repositories
[12:52] <DarkKnight> Slart; flashblock isnt installed....whats the other..i dont know
[12:52] <EgYPaRaDoX> eight:there is no path..
[12:52] <damo> ok
[12:52] <benc1> jrib: I know but I needed a newer version
[12:53] <damo> i dont have a webcam:P
[12:53] <EgYPaRaDoX> eights: there is no path..
[12:53] <benc1> jrib: I also needed to patch the source
[12:53] <Slart> DarkKnight: I think that spinning circle is done in flash.. ie the flash thingy is working.. and it's trying to load something
[12:53] <ianh99> damo: do you have a /dev/dvb device ?
[12:53] <shavin> is anybody familiar with graphics requirements of games like 'need for speed-carbon'?
[12:53] <damo> im new to linux i dunno
[12:53] <jrib> benc1: remember that newer doesn't usually mean better.  In any case, check out checkinstall.  If you don't really need newer, but just want to patch the source, then learn how to patch the source of the package in the repositories
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> !appdb | shavin
[12:53] <DarkKnight> Slart; i have seen the notes on XP systems...dont know how i can get it in hardy
[12:53] <Slart> shavin: running it in wine?
[12:54] <jrib> !checkinstall > benc1
[12:54] <jrib> !source > >
[12:54] <jrib> :/
[12:54] <Slart> DarkKnight: but other sites work ok? such as youtube?
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> shavin: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=4071
[12:54] <shavin> I would try to. Actually my young nephew is crying for it :) and i dont know the first thing about these games
[12:54] <ianh99> damo: try 'ls /dev/dvb' in a terminal and see if there is anything there
[12:54] <jrib> !source > benc1
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> shavin: it gets a garbage rating
[12:54] <q_> DarkKnight try this     http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-Adobe-Flash-Player-64-bit-on-Ubuntu-8-10-98076.shtml
[12:54] <DarkKnight> Slart; ya
[12:55] <shavin> is 256 mb nvidia graphics card decent enough for most games?
[12:55] <nnull> ActionParsnip, ... its the same in windows and ubuntu, flash sound along with all sound worked before i installed the videocard.
[12:56] <alexy92> sorry to be a bother but just a quick question, if i have a blank hdd and is labeled as disk 2 in computer management in vista, is that likely to change number when configuring grub?
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> shavin: depends on the rest of your system and the game itself, there is no yes / no answer
[12:56] <shavin> or do i have to go for more expensive ones? over here in india a 256 mb nvidia costs around 2200/- INR
[12:56] <al3x-admin> Hi all. I have a prob with my nvidia 8600 GTS. I installed nvidia-180-modaliases and the I opened jockey-kde. I installed the last drivers (180) and rebooted, and X complains that the screen and the mouse/keyboard aren't configured/detected and wont start X. I ran nvidia-xconfig but wont help. What can I do?
[12:56] <Slart> shavin: here's some info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Need_for_Speed_Carbon
[12:56] <nnull> ActionParsnip, and this video card has some sort of sound capabilites on it
[12:56] <shavin> I have a thinkcentre with 256 mb ram and intel
[12:56] <nnull> for HD sound or something
[12:56] <damo> ianh99: damo@damo:~$ ls /dev/dvb
[12:56] <damo> adapter0
[12:56] <Slart> DarkKnight: then I don't think it's your flash install that's messing things up.. might be something else
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> nnull: i'd check the hcl, it may give clues
[12:57] <ErnieDuglas> How well does new VMware player run ??? I read our guide about it, and it seems simple simple simple! Can it run M$-Office inside of a VM session (I got 2gig RAM new new computer)
[12:57] <CryptIce7> Many modern Linux distros use Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR).  Is there a way to disable this?  (on ubuntu)
[12:57] <Slart> DarkKnight: perhaps they used some "internet explorer"-only technology on the site.. or relies on something else that is only available on windows
[12:57] <stpere_> anyone else have issues with apt??
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> al3x-admin: boot to recovery mode for your kernel and repair the xserver
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> !anyone | stpere_
[12:57] <DarkKnight> Slart; yes i knew that...but i didnt know what to do with it....anyways q_ has suggested me something...which i am looking into
[12:57] <nomingzi> i have an USB external harddisk is formatted with NTFS, and I wish to format it to EXT3, please advise how can I can do that.
[12:57] <stpere_> I get a bug in update-manager/synaptic..
[12:57] <jrib> stpere_: pastebin it
[12:57] <ErnieDuglas> nomingzi >> you could use gParted Live CD
[12:58] <stpere_> ok
[12:58] <al3x-admin> ActionParsnip: Yes, I did that. Actually I'm on "that" pc at the moment. I'm able to start X but I'm not able to turn on direct rendering
[12:58] <hateball> nomingzi: you could also install gparted and use it in Ubuntu... without having to reboot on a live cd
[12:58] <Garp> Question: My ubuntu machine crashed (for the second time) that time / filesystem was unreadable. After an fsck.ext3, I had a look at /var/log/messages: the last part of the log is just garbage (not even letters, but random 8bits of what it looks like). Where should I look for the problem ? Thanks.
[12:58] <ianh99> damo: OK that's probably means you card has been detected and loaded OK. Do you know if it's a DVB-S (Satellite card) or DVD-T (Terrestrial) or DVB-C (Cable) ?
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> al3x-admin: did you sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings; gksudo nvidia-settings
[12:59] <ErnieDuglas> gParted can be used either way.. I have used the LiveCD to recover systems though (boot sector)
[12:59] <Slart> DarkKnight: ok, hope you find a way
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> Garp: check ram for errors too, its an option in grub menu
[12:59] <DarkKnight> Slart; ya thank you
[12:59] <useruseruseruser> i had vista 300 bucks but it was too heavy for my cheap computer so i had to change to ubuntu
[12:59] <Slart> nomingzi: use gparted, remove the ntfs partition, add an ext3 partition..
[12:59] <damo> ianh99: i cable card.
[12:59] <useruseruseruser> damn... so much money 300 bucks
[12:59] <Garp> ActionParsnip: I ran a memtest for about 10mn without any problem... How long should I run it to be more sure ?
[13:00] <stpere_> jrib: hmm, it seems ok now :-\
[13:00] <ErnieDuglas> hateball: hey if I fire up VMware player loading XP up, do you think it will run new M$Office2007 ????
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> Garp: til it finishes 1 full check
[13:00] <useruseruseruser> it's incredible for my newbie brain so much work got into linux so much expert thinking
[13:00] <useruseruseruser> incredible
[13:00] <Garp> ActionParsnip: OK, thanks.
[13:00] <stpere_> it was telling me that there was too many package description, and it wasn't supported with that version of apt
[13:00] <useruseruseruser> i'm newbie and used linux for years
[13:00] <al3x-admin> ActionParsnip: Yes, and it tells me that appears that I'm not using the NVidia driver, so I have to run "nvidia-xconfig" as root. But if I run it, and reboot, it wont startX because no screen/mouse/keyboard is detected/configured
[13:00] <useruseruseruser> damn... still newbie
[13:00] <useruseruseruser> maybe my brain is bad
[13:01] <stpere_> after the third apt-get update, it's gone
[13:01] <useruseruseruser> ubuntu is so fast and smooth..... mmm good
[13:01] <useruseruseruser> 안녕하세요
[13:02] <useruseruseruser> ok... i'm finished... good...
[13:02] <useruseruseruser> wow... this is incredibly awesome
[13:02] <stpere_> ah, it does it again :)
[13:02] <Tiefenrausch> ;D
[13:03] <ActionParsnip> al3x-admin: what nvidia card do yu have?
[13:03] <al3x-admin> an 8600 GTS
[13:03] <ianh99> damo: Try http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Testing_your_DVB_device in order to scan for cable channels and see if you can view some TV stations
[13:03] <ianh99> damo: You will need to find and initial scan file depending on your cable supplier
[13:04] <ErnieDuglas> Anyone in here use VMWare on Ubuntu???????????
[13:04] <damo> ianh99: i get this error: cannot open capture device /dev/video
[13:04] <al3x-admin> ActionParsnip: an 8600 GTS (I have kernel 2.6.27-11, x64, kde 4.2 rc1)
[13:04] <stpere_> jrib: ok, it doesn't appear everytime
[13:04] <stpere_> the error message ended with "please report"
[13:04] <damo> ianh99  ohh its not cable as in pay tv....its just normal tv
[13:04] <stpere_> so I will :)
[13:04] <ianh99> damo: when running what app.
[13:05] <damo> tvtime
[13:05] <threedee> on hardy I had sound. with intrepid, its gone. how to get it back?
[13:05] <useruseruseruser> ubuntu means automatic?
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> al3x-admin: uninstall whatever drivers you have installed
[13:06] <useruseruseruser> i like ubuntu philosophy
[13:06] <useruseruseruser> automatic
[13:06] <al3x-admin> ActionParsnip: Ok, and what then?
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> al3x-admin: your card is supported by: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-177 nvidia-settings
[13:06] <useruseruseruser> not enterprise like windows
[13:06] <useruseruseruser> enterprise implies expensive computer
[13:06] <useruseruseruser> expansive
[13:06] <al3x-admin> ActionParsnip: Ok, I'll try that. BRB
[13:06] <useruseruseruser> what's mean expensive? expansive? confusing
[13:07] <Kartagis> how do i uninstall a program i installed through wine?
[13:07] <threedee> expensive means lots of money, expansive means very wide (I think)
[13:07] <useruseruseruser> what is the difference between expensive and expansive in meaning?
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> useruseruseruser: www.dictionary.com
[13:07] <ianh99> normal TV as in through an aeriel (antenna) on the roof ?
[13:07] <stpere_> Kartagis: Application > Wine > Uninstall wine software ?
[13:08] <threedee> in case no-one saw my question - on hardy I had sound. with intrepid, its gone. how to get it back?
[13:08] <quibbler> Kartagis, wine>uninstall wine software
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> Kartagis: or run: uninstaller from terminal
[13:08] <ErnieDuglas> threedee have you the corect device selected?
[13:08] <Kartagis> stpere_, no, not wine, the application
[13:08] <damo> ianh99:  i have followed the website and i have found my card using dmesg | grep Bt    ....
[13:08] <stpere_> Kartagis: try it, it won't uninstall wine itself
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> Kartagis: yes, uninstaller brings up the wine app uninstaller to remove the apps you have installed in wine
[13:09] <ErnieDuglas> you use volume control applet added to bar from the Right-click menu, correct?
[13:09] <stpere_> but ask you which application to uninstall
[13:09] <threedee> Ernie: the device for playback is set to automatic
[13:09] <ErnieDuglas> threedee manually set it to your card
[13:09] <damo> ianh99: should i go ahead ewith what the website says/
[13:09] <ErnieDuglas> maybe it says Crystal CSS audio or such
[13:09] <threedee> Ernie: I do and try the test
[13:10] <Kartagis> thanks
[13:10] <threedee> Ernie: I get an error message which starts "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 !"
[13:10] <ianh99> damo: yes. It sounds like the card is OK, you just need to configure channel frequencies etc. Test it with mplayer or something simple first
[13:11] <damo> ok cool:)
[13:11] <ErnieDuglas> threedee: interesting! Start with that. Google the error msg
[13:12] <Ward1983> how come only ubuntu is able to install grub NOT on the first harddrive?
[13:12] <Ward1983> debian fails at it
[13:12] <threedee> ian: if by mplayer, you mean movie player ... that just hangs
[13:12] <threedee> ... when trying to play an mp3
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> Ward1983: thatd be a pain if you only had one disk wouldnt it ;)
[13:13] <Ward1983> ActionParsnip, huh?
[13:13] <Ward1983> ActionParsnip, aaah lol bad joke
[13:13] <leohartx> does anyone here play battleforwesnoth
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> Ward1983: ive not used mother debian but all the other distros ive used were fine
[13:13] <leohartx>  does anyone here play battleforwesnoth ?
[13:13] <Ward1983> ActionParsnip, but debian cannot do it :s i want to use debian because ubuntu dropped xen support, and i cannot :s
[13:13] <ErnieDuglas> threedee: Im sorry my best answer is for you to google the error, but, that is what I would do in your situation
[13:14] <Ward1983> ActionParsnip, ah ok then its just debian that sucks :(
[13:14] <Jack_Sparrow> leohartx, offtopic
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> Ward1983: grub is grub, use your ubuntu cds to write grub
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> Ward1983: log a bug
[13:14] <Ward1983> ActionParsnip, same result, i tried updating grub from ubuntu
[13:14] <Slart> Does anyone know of a sound driver for the internal speaker? ie to make it possible to play a wav-file using the internal speaker?
[13:14] <ErnieDuglas> threedee: I've never had a sound card error with that though in Ubuntu, yet, though, & I've booted 20+ machines since Ubuntu6.06
[13:14] <Ward1983> ActionParsnip, nah i wasted too much time allready
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> Slart: i think you can select the audio device with aplay -l
[13:15] <Slart> ActionParsnip: yes, but there is no alsa device for the internal speaker.. or is there?
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> Slart: have a look, there may be
[13:16] <ErnieDuglas> Slart: I have a Compaq with internal speaker that worked on first-boot-right-from-Live-CD
[13:16] <Slart> ActionParsnip: nope.. there isn't.. just checked
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> hmm
[13:16] <ErnieDuglas> Slart: I use it to tune in NPR morstly now
[13:16] <Slart> ErnieDuglas: so you can play regular sounds from it? not just beeps?
[13:17] <ErnieDuglas> Slart: correct
[13:17] <Jack_Sparrow> ErnieDuglas, PC spealer is not the same as internal laptop speakers etc
[13:17] <Slart> ErnieDuglas: sounds neat.. perhaps they have it connected to the soundcard internally
[13:18] <ErnieDuglas> Jack_Sparrow: very true. & it's anyones guess how Compaq hookt it in there. It's probaby just a speaker connected direct to a sound card that sits on the mobo
[13:18] <Jack_Sparrow> correct
[13:18] <ErnieDuglas> I was ultra shockt though when Ubuntu used it right-off-the-bat.  :)
[13:19] <ErnieDuglas> that box hast to use 7.04 or previous though the Compiz core does not like Intel graphics cards
[13:19] <DarkKnight> q_; it isn't working
[13:20] <ErnieDuglas> I hope they fix newest core to work on the old machines at even at generic VGA 800x600 or such
[13:20] <ErnieDuglas> just nix the FX just make it boox X normal.
[13:20] <jojogood> hello
[13:21] <jojogood> ??
[13:22] <quibbler> jojogood, welcome
[13:23] <ErnieDuglas> alright I gota split
[13:23] <ErnieDuglas> good luck all!
[13:23] <q_> DarkKnight,  work with youtube?
[13:24] <ahmed_> good luck for u :)

[13:28] <surjeet> i want to know how to the install third party software
[13:28] <Pici> damo: Nothing. Its 'sed' syntax to mean that I mispelled redirection in my first message.
[13:28] <hischild> damo, it means you should substitute the first part for the second part. Some use to to edit their spelling mistakes.
[13:29] <zimbres> hi, Why the man page for tar gives two v's in the option to extract a *.tar.gz file? ex "tar -xvvzf file"
[13:29] <Jack_Sparrow> surjeet, It is much safer to stay within the supported repos.
[13:29] <hischild> zimbres, to give you some more info on what it is extracting.
[13:29] <Pici> surjeet: But out of curiosity, what sort of 3rd party software are you speaking of?
[13:29] <damo> ohh ok
[13:29] <damo> what do i do niow Pici?
[13:30] <Pici> damo: echo "bttv" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules      is the proper version of the command that was giving you the error.

[13:41] <Michael_Knight> Hello. I've read there is upstart init daemon in Ubuntu insteand of classic Sys V init daemon. There are a lot of excellent features in upstart. Is it stable? Are there any problems with it in Ubuntu bug list?
[13:41] <hischild> !lamp > surjeet
[13:41] <hischild> surjeet, ActionParnsnip and I have both given you instructions on how to do it. Ubottu has send the instructions in a PM to you. Please follow that advice.
[13:41] <eights> surjeet: here are complete instructions: http://ubuntuexperiment.wordpress.com/2008/11/10/installing-apache-php-mysql/
[13:41] <hornet141> hi all
[13:41] <Looop> amkahal you can do it through terminal this a linux edition of that driver
[13:42] <Jack_Sparrow> surjeet, /join #apache2 or #php for more detailed instructions
[13:42] <amkahal> looop: how do this, sry but im a newbie
[13:42] <Looop> what i meant there is a linux driver // have you tried install super tux?
[13:42] <ohgs> Anyone know if there is a Intrepid .deb anywhere for gnome-format?
[13:43] <Looop> it same princip
[13:43] <hischild> !info gnome-format
[13:43] <Stormx2> eights, just link to the ubuntu wiki page :/ like ubottu did
[13:43] <amkahal> is there a driver called "super tux"???
[13:43] <eights> Stormx2: lol, i just figured he kept asking and asking and asking for the same thing so there was detailed instructions on how to have it up and running in less  than 2 mins ;)
[13:43] <amkahal> Looop: can i pm u??
[13:44] <Looop> no no it's a game but the installation of super tux is the same princip // yes you can
[13:44] <ohgs> hischild: I know its not in repos and I had troble compiling it but this is a must-have package really
[13:44] <hischild> ohgs, why?
[13:44] <Stormx2> oh207_, doesn't look like there is one. What trouble are you having compiling?
[13:44] <Stormx2> ohgs, sorry.
[13:44] <ohgs> Its the package that makes GNOME a viable desktop solution for many
[13:45] <Stormx2> ohgs, what issue are you having compiling?
[13:45] <ohgs> I can't believe its took so long for simple removeable disc formatting to arrice on the free desktop
[13:45] <Pici> ohgs: You should be able to use gparted to format removable drives.
[13:46] <Looop> choose this one 945GM 	Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller
[13:46] <Looop> sorry wrong place post
[13:46] <Stormx2> ohgs, don't complain here about what is and isn't in ubuntu.
[13:46] <ohgs> Pici: I know all about gparted, (c)fdisk and mkfs.* but they're NOT what I and many others have been waiting for. gnome-format is
[13:46] <Stormx2> ohgs, so go compile a deb if you love it so much.
[13:47] <ohgs> Stormx2: No need for the tone
[13:47] <Stormx2> ohgs, no need for you to whine to a support channel. Go make a blueprint for inclusion in Jaunty or something. You're complaints do nothing here.
[13:47] <Stormx2> Your* :/
[13:47] <damo> im trying to install my video card, my pc says its here but i cannot veiw tv...damo@damo:~$ cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/test_capture.mpg

[13:47] <mib_7itolf> Hi all quick question. How can I make ubuntu query for a dhcp address manually if it has not found one on boot and I corrected the problem?
[13:48] <Stormx2> damo, do a dmesg and have a look for the card, see if it's been detected and where the device is.
[13:48] <Pici> ohgs: The tool looks very new, thus the reason why its not in the repos.
[13:48] <damo> ok
[13:49] <egami> is there a history of "leave a message" messages on screensaver? after accidentally clicking and making it disappear.. is there any way to retrieve it?
[13:49] <damo> Stormx2: can u have a look for me please? here the results are: http://pastebin.com/m73cfdaad
[13:49] <ikonia> mib_7itolf: if you set the card to dhcp, it will request an ip on boot
[13:50] <Favorit> hi there.
[13:50] <Stormx2> damo, one moment
[13:50] <mib_7itolf> yes I know but what is the command to make it check for an address
[13:50] <Favorit> guys, anyone got nvidia gtx260 working with hw acceleration drivers in Xorg?
[13:50] <damo> thankx
[13:50] <ikonia> mib_7itolf: it will do it for you
[13:50] <ikonia> mib_7itolf: dhclient will request an address for you
[13:50] <Favorit> I have 2 of those in sli mode, every single driver that comes with the distro says it can't find any devices
[13:51] <Jack_Sparrow> Favorit, sli not supported
[13:51] <ikonia> Favorit: sli doesn't work properly
[13:51] <Stormx2> damo, try /dev/bttv0?
[13:51] <Favorit> ikonia: well, screw sli :) it should recognize at least 1 video card, right?
[13:51] <ikonia> Favorit: not in sli mode
[13:51] <ikonia> Favorit: if the two cards are joined it won't see any
[13:51] <egami> anyone?
[13:51] <Favorit> ikonia: so with the interconnect cables ... oh crap
[13:51] <egami> is there a history of "leave a message" messages on screensaver? after accidentally clicking and making it disappear.. is there any way to retrieve it?
[13:51] <egami> ???
[13:52] <Stormx2> !repeat | egami
[13:52] <Favorit> that's not nice :(
[13:52] <ikonia> egami: not sure what your saying
[13:52] <egami> ikonia, when i lock my screen. there is the option for ppl to leave me a message right?
[13:52] <ikonia> egami: the leave a message box appears when you try to wake up the screensaver
[13:52] <ikonia> egami: yes
[13:52] <damo> Stormx2: what do u mean exacly?
[13:52] <Stormx2> ikonia, when the desktop is locked it allows people to leave messages. when its resumed, the messages are displayed
[13:52] <egami> ikonia, yes. but after it is clicked.. is there a way to see it again? like.. somewhere in the log files?
[13:52] <ikonia> Stormx2: I know that
[13:52] <Jack_Sparrow> egami, Please dont use three lines to get attention.  It isnt needed and may get the wrong type of attention from the ops
[13:53] <ikonia> egami: see what, the message, or the box that says leave a message ?
[13:53] <Stormx2> ikonia, he's asking where those messages are stored
[13:53] <Stormx2> damo,  cat /dev/bttv0 > /tmp/test_capture.mpg
[13:53] <ikonia> Stormx2: it's ram based isn't it ?
[13:53] <Stormx2> ikonia, i've no idea
[13:53] <egami> Stormx2, ikonia ... not stored anywhere?
[13:53] <ikonia> egami: I think it's held in ram
[13:53] <Guest80113> hi
[13:53] <damo> Stormx2: damo@damo:~$ cat /dev/bttv0 > /tmp/test_capture.mpg
[13:53] <damo> cat: /dev/bttv0: No such file or directory
[13:54] <ikonia> damo: 1.) your device file isn't there 2.) you can't cat a file like that and pipe it to an mpeg
[13:54] <egami> Stormx2, ikonia ... hmm that sucks.
[13:54] <damo> ikonia: im trying to watch tv...
[13:55] <Stormx2> damo: Is the device analogue, digital, or a combo?
[13:55] <ikonia> damo: that doesn't change what I said
[13:55] <ikonia> egami: errrr no
[13:55] <damo> analogue
[13:55] <Stormx2> damo, your first port of call should be tvtime
[13:55] <damo> Stormx2: yep it doesnt work
[13:56] <Stormx2> damo, "doesn't work"?
[13:56] <damo> cannot caputure device/dev/video0

[14:00] <ahab> General question: How does one completely remove a program after it has been installed from source?  Specific: pokerth 0.6.3
[14:01] <ikonia> ahab: you need to manually remove the files
[14:01] <ahab> how do i find the foles to remove?
[14:01] <ikonia> ahab: ubuntu has no idea what has been installed or where, so you need to do it manually,
[14:01] <ikonia> ahab:  you should know - you built it
[14:01] <Stormx2> damo: Do you have a /dev/dvb directory?
[14:02] <Pici> ahab: The makefile may have an uninstall or remove target. i.e: sudo make uninstall, if it doesnt, then you are back to doing it manually.
[14:02] <damo> Stormx2: how do i check>
[14:02] <Winston_> Hello
[14:02] <ahab> thanks!
[14:02] <dA_ShArP> Hi all, any one have any idea which driver does ubuntu use to run this webcam "Logitech, Inc. QuickCam IM/Connect"
[14:02] <Stormx2> damo: Open a file manager and look in /dev? :/
[14:02] <dA_ShArP> ubottu, webcam
[14:02] <damo> yes i have it Stromx2
[14:03] <ganesh1> ikonia:i have  xserver-xorg-video-sis instaled but how to know if it is the one which is on http://ncc-1701a.homelinux.net/~linux-sis/index.php?page=Downloads

[14:03] <william> hi, where can I find instructions on doing a network install of ubuntu server edition

[14:03] <Hrbrm> What problems may I come up with if I use old ubuntu 7.10 version
[14:03] <loabivaa> is there a mpg/avi to mp4 converter for ubuntu?
[14:03] <Stormx2> damo: What files are in it?
[14:03] <ikonia> ganesh1: you can either let xorg auto detect it, or manually force it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[14:04] <ikonia> Hrbrm: outdated software, no poor support etc etc
[14:04] <Jack_Sparrow> Hrbrm, Not a problem
[14:04] <Pici> william: Start here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Server%20and%20network%20installations
[14:04] <Hrbrm> ikonia, why can't I install uptodate software?
[14:04] <damo> Stormx2:  demux0 dvr0  frontend0  net0
[14:04] <Stormx2> Right. So it's got at least the digital part of your card
[14:04] <Pici> !latest | Hrbrm
[14:04] <ganesh1> ikonia: how do i do forcefully? by adding driver sis?
[14:05] <damo> ok
[14:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Hrbrm, Sorry.. misread.. that is too old.. I agree with ikonia
[14:05] <ikonia> Hrbrm: because 7.10 is coming to the end of it's life so updated won't appear for it
[14:05] <Stormx2> damo: Could you pastebin; ls -l /dev | grep video
[14:05] <damo> yea
[14:05] <ikonia> ganesh1: thats pretty much the way, yes
[14:05] <damo> nothing Stormx2
[14:05] <damo> i get no responce
[14:05] <Stormx2> Bah
[14:05] <Pici> Hrbrm, ikonia, Jack_Sparrow: 7.10 is still a supported release however.
[14:05] <Stormx2> Okay
[14:05] <ganesh1> ikonia: thanx
[14:06] <Stormx2> damo, hang on, gonna go thru your dmesg output a bit more
[14:06] <Hrbrm> Pici, when does ther support stop?
[14:06] <aurax> yo all
[14:06] <damo> okay Stormx2:)
[14:06] <Pici> Hrbrm: April 09 iirc.
[14:06] <Hrbrm> Pici, this year?
[14:07] <Pici> Hrbrm: April 2009, yes. (Not sure which date, probably around the Jaunty release though)
[14:07] <al3x-admin> ActionParsnip: Hi! I'm the one with the 8600 GTS... I did everything you told me. Uninstall everything... reboot... reboot.... install nvidia 177.82... reboot... after the reboot X wont detect screen/keyboard/mouse so I have to use the generic xorg.conf (the menu that shows up when X cant start).... If I try nvidia-xconfig and reboot, X wont detect screen/kb/mouse.... Any ideas ?
[14:07] <Stormx2> damo: As far as I can tell it's not picking up the analogue portion of the card, which is quite possible.
[14:07] <Pici> Hrbrm: Non LTS releases are supported for 18 months from the date of release.
[14:07] <damo> Stormx2: ok im not %100 sure if its analogue how can we tell?
[14:08] <Stormx2> damo, what country do you live in?
[14:08] <Pici> Hrbrm: Version numbers indicate the month and year of release. So 7.10 is October 2007
[14:08] <damo> Australia
[14:08] <Stormx2> Right
[14:08] <Stormx2> Uhg, I'm not familiar with the TV setup there.
[14:08] <Stormx2> In the UK, we have a free-to-air terrestrial DVB service called Freeview
[14:08] <al3x-admin> Hi! I'm the one with the 8600 GTS... I did everything you told me.

If I try nvidia-xconfig and reboot, X wont detect screen/kb/mouse.... Any ideas ?
[14:09] <Stormx2> We also have 5 old analogue channels, also free to air

[14:09] <ViperMax> Hi All, Is the any way that I can boot my server from CD device, while I am logged in as root. CD device name is /dev/scd0
[14:09] <damo> Stormx2: we have free to air as well and that what i wanna setup
[14:09] <Stormx2> damo, how many channels are you hoping to pick up?
[14:09] <damo> 7
[14:09] <jerr> Hello; anyone runnining nvidia 180.22?
[14:10] <Hrbrm> Pici, and LTS releases?
[14:10] <Jack_Sparrow> !lts
[14:10] <Pici> Hrbrm: 3 years for the desktop, 5 for the server.
[14:10] <loabivaa> is there a mpg/avi to mp4 converter for ubuntu?
[14:10] <Hrbrm> and how often LTS comes out?
[14:10] <al3x-admin> loabivaa: Yes, ffmpeg
[14:10] <Stormx2> damo: Well, the card is DVB only. I just checked. It only supports digital (DVB)
[14:11] <jerr> I just installed 180.22 and now my screen reso is terribly small, anyone have this issue?
[14:11] <Pici> Hrbrm: every 2 years or so
[14:11] <aurax> is there a better replacement for sound recorder?
[14:11] <Hrbrm> ok, thanks
[14:11] <Stormx2> damo, I'd try using a program like me-tv or kaffeine to watch telly.
[14:11] <Stormx2> damo, you don't get analogue channels on the card. The decoder/tuner doesn't support it.
[14:12] <damo> Stormx2: ahh ok
[14:12] <damo> Stormx2: so what do i do?
[14:12] <Stormx2> damo, I'd try using a program like me-tv or kaffeine to watch telly.
[14:15] <damo> ok Stormx2: I get this error when using me-tv:    Failed to tune to transponder at 226500000
[14:15] <nomingzi> On Terminal window, to logon as root, is it true that I use this command:  sudo su
[14:15] <Jack_Sparrow> nomingzi, no
[14:15] <Jack_Sparrow> nomingzi, sudo -i    is a better choice
[14:16] <Stormx2> damo, ignore it for now
[14:16] <nomingzi> but i can see the prompt start with root@computername:/home/myname
[14:16] <damo> Stormx2 ok
[14:17] <ViperMax> Is the any way that I can boot my server from CD device, while I am logged in as root. CD device name is /dev/scd0  -- I mean any command that either it boot directly to CD or comes to console level that I can choose CD device
[14:17] <nomingzi> Jack_Sparrow:  i still confuse
[14:17] <Jack_Sparrow> nomingzi, Perhaps you should say why you want to be root
[14:18] <Pici> nomingzi: sudo -i properly sets up the environment variables of the root shell that you are starting. sudo su does not.
[14:19] <nomingzi> Pici:  what about this command?  can you please explain a bit for me?  sudo -s -H
[14:20] <Pici> nomingzi: The sudo manpage explains it better than I can.
[14:20] <deany> brasero is a real piece of junk
[14:20] <Favorit> ikonia: hmm, and native NVidia drivers, the ones that are to download from nvidia.com, do those see the videocards with those cables inbetween? I don't need SLi, i just need hardware acceleration of one card under linux without having to pull those SLi cables out :)
[14:21] <ArtVandalae> Is http://ubuntuforums.org/ inaccessible for anyone else?
[14:21] <bstahl> does anyone know how to make it so that ubuntu does not freeze up when trying to go to lock the computer. or to the screensaver?
[14:21] <ArtVandalae> The funny thing is, the error page looks like something IIS would hang out :)
[14:21] <Favorit> ArtVandalae: Ubuntuforums has been down the whole day for me today
[14:21] <damo> Stormx2: can u help me anymore?
[14:21] <Stormx2> damo, sure, what's the problem?
[14:22] <Pici> ArtVandalae, Favorit: The forums are having technical difficulties, its not just you.
[14:22] <damo> my tv tuner car still wont work.
[14:22] <damo> card

[14:22] <Vanter> Hi all. I just tried upgrading a server from gutsy to hardy, and in the middle of dist-upgrade /var became read-only. When I rebooted, I discovered that my root disk which used to be /dev/hdb now suddenly is /dev/sda, and the dist which used to be /dev/sda is nowhere to be found. Any ideas?
[14:22] <SpriteSODA> hi guys
[14:22] <bstahl> hey
[14:22] <ikonia> Favorit: the irony is that earlier drivers did "support" sli - in that worked as you want, but sli technology was very early
[14:23] <DarkKnight> can anyone help me with my flash
[14:23] <edi_99> Hi guys, what software do you use if you want to mount ie a video dvd? is it even possible?ž
[14:23] <Jack_Sparrow> Vanter, Are you mixing ide and sata.  that can cause issues
[14:23] <Favorit> ikonia: it's a bit weird, cuz 1.0-8174 had SLi support. and that was almost 4 years ago :)
[14:23] <SpriteSODA> i've got an irc bot built in mIRC. how can i run it on a linux server i have?
[14:23] <ikonia> Favorit: as I said, the old ones did
[14:23] <Vanter> Jack_Sparrow: Yes, I am. The root disk is a 12gb ide disk.
[14:23] <damo> SpriteSODA: u cant use a eggdrop
[14:23] <Favorit> SpriteSODA: not without hassle
[14:23] <Vanter> Jack_Sparrow: I haven't had any problems before though :(
[14:23] <Favorit> ikonia: ah, they ripped it out.. bastards.
[14:24] <damo> SpriteSODA: we use eggdrops on linux
[14:24] <DarkKnight> ikonia; can you help me regarding flash
[14:24] <SpriteSODA> eggdrop?
[14:24] <SpriteSODA> i'll google it
[14:24] <bert1> i'm downloading steam/counterstrike1.6 right now thru wine and i need to get verdanna arial and tahoma truetype fonts, where can i get these free?
[14:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Vanter, You can google up mixing ide sata and see all sorts of issues..  Something best to avoid
[14:24] <ikonia> DarkKnight: what is the problem
[14:24] <Vanter> Jack_Sparrow: Any suggestions to how i can rename the ide disk back to what it used to be?
[14:25] <DarkKnight> i have my course notes on a particular website...i installed flash for my amd64.. though i am able to see youtube videos i am unable to view my course notes which is in flash
[14:25] <Jack_Sparrow> bert1, msttfonts package I believe
[14:26] <SpriteSODA> ohh i see, but eggdrop is a complete bot. i've got my own bots that i need to use, any idea how to do it?
[14:26] <Pici> SpriteSODA: The only way to run mIRC would be inside Wine.
[14:26] <Pici> !wine > SpriteSODA
[14:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Vanter, I dont have any good answers which is why I suggested you do some reading.  pulling the sata will let the ide go back, but that will cause you other issues with your setup
[14:27] <Stormx2> damo: Define "won't work"
[14:27] <abjurian> Hello all
[14:27] <Vanter> Jack_Sparrow: Alright, thanks for helping.
[14:27] <Zehava> I have static coming from my PC speakers, even when everything is muted in the mixer from within ubuntu.  any reason why or something I can do to fix it?
[14:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Vanter, np, Wish I had a simple answer
[14:28] <achilles> hello, it's urgent, I need to access my windows server via Remote Desktop from my ubuntu desktop
[14:28] <achilles> plase
[14:28] <Stormx2> Zehava, do you get static when you have something playing?
[14:28] <SpriteSODA> yeah i thought i'll do it with wine, but my problem is that the server doesnt have a gui or anything
[14:28] <ikonia> achilles: use the remote desktop application
[14:28] <SpriteSODA> only a console access by SSH
[14:28] <abjurian> once i boot from usb device using 8.10 what option do I choose to save my preferences?
[14:28] <Stormx2> achadwick, run vinagre?
[14:28] <Zehava> Stormx2 the media player will play over the static, but the static is still there in the back ground
[14:28] <Stormx2> Hum
[14:28] <aboSamoor> Hi, I am using 2.6.27-10 on intrepid. I have a problem in wireless which iwl3945. It all the time get get authenticated and deauthenticated which result in very low throughput any idea
[14:28] <jpcooper> hello
[14:28] <achilles> ikonia, it refuses
[14:28] <damo> Stormx2: i told u before i get a error
[14:29] <Stormx2> Zehava, when does the static start?
[14:29] <ikonia> achilles: define refuses ?
[14:29] <damo>  ok Stormx2: I get this error when using me-tv:    Failed to tune to transponder at 226500000
[14:29] <achilles> ikonia,  but it's viewing another windows pcs
[14:29] <Stormx2> damo, and I told you to ignore if. That isn't a fatal error, I get that one too
[14:29] <DarkKnight> ikonia; any idea as of what could be done...i could access these notes though XP systems...but through hardy i haven't been able to
[14:29] <achadwick> Stormx2: as it happens, yes. Erm... why?
[14:29] <damo> ohh ok
[14:29] <Zehava> Stormx2 I hadn't really tried listening from boot to see exactly when it starts.  Should I try that and come back and let ya know?
[14:29] <achilles> ikonia, no, I can access from my windows machine , but from ubuntu it doesn't
[14:29] <ikonia> DarkKnight: how did you install flash
[14:29] <damo> Stormx2: so my question is how can i set my tv up now?
[14:29] <Stormx2> achadwick, my apologies. tab complete
[14:29] <jpcooper> I couple of days ago, I did an update, and Gnome suddenly stopped working. When starting, I was confronted with an error stating that some power manager wasn't installed properly, and all I had was that, the mouse-cursor and a black background. I added a new user and everything worked perfectly. Could anyone tell me how to restore my old user?
[14:30] <ikonia> achilles: is the windows machine blocking it, what remote desktop application are you using
[14:30] <Stormx2> achilles: if you could give us the exact error, that'd be useful
[14:30] <achilles> ikonia, windows remote desktop
[14:30] <DarkKnight> i downloaded it from the website for amd64 and installed it as per this site  http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-Adobe-Flash-Player-64-bit-on-Ubuntu-8-10-98076.shtml
[14:30] <ikonia> achilles: no, what ubuntu application ar eyou using
[14:30] <Stormx2> achilles, windows remote desktop doesn't run on ubuntu.
[14:30] <achilles> Stormx2, R
[14:30] <Stormx2> Use vinagre or something.
[14:31] <Stormx2> achilles, VOWEL!
[14:31] <achilles> Stormx2, ikonia I have ubuntu and I need to access my windows server , I usually access via remote desktop access
[14:31] <Stormx2> damo: Well what happens after it gives you the error?
[14:31] <achilles> Stormx2, sorry by mistake
[14:31] <abjurian> I booted 8.10 from usb key but it won't save my setting when I restart am I missing something? I used the admin create usb and it boots fine just won't save anything.
[14:31] <SpriteSODA> is there a way to convert the scripts designed for mIRC to work on a linux irc client?
[14:31] <ikonia> achilles: how are you trying to connect from your ubuntu machine
[14:31] <bert1> i used "aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras" to install msttfonts but..uhh.. where are they now? haha
[14:31] <fblade1987> Hi can anyone help me with graphics drivers, I used the restricted drivers and now my dual screen config will not work, and also the log in screen i partly pushed off screen? does anyone know how i can it back to normal but still use ati drivers?
[14:31] <ikonia> achilles: what application on your ubuntu machine are you using
[14:31] <Stormx2> achilles, ah ha. And why can't you now? "It refuses" is pretty generic. Do you mean "Connection Refused"?
[14:32] <achilles> ikonia, Application > Internet > Remote Desktop Viewer
[14:32] <aboSamoor> guys, please can you help me ? It is really very low bandwidth about 2Kbps
[14:32] <synthe_ciser> Hi there, I have a problem with my Ubuntu Intrepid... Whenever I look a video or something like that my PC freeze after a few minutes. I have to reboot with the Power-Button then. what can I do?
[14:32] <achilles> Connection to host "xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5900" was closed.
[14:32] <damo> Stormx2: first of all it wont open it says failed to open
[14:32] <ikonia> achilles: what is the windows machine running, 2003 server ?
[14:32] <Jack_Sparrow> synthe_ciser, Is this a laptop?
[14:33] <fblade1987> adoSamoor what's your problem?
[14:33] <Stormx2> damo, could you get me the full output? :/
[14:33] <achilles> ikonia, yes exactly
[14:33] <synthe_ciser> Jack_Sparrow, Nope Desktop PC
[14:33] <ikonia> achilles: is your windows box connected now ?
[14:33] <damo> Stormx2: yea
[14:33] <ikonia> achilles: sorry, is your windows client, connected to the windows server at the same time as te linux client ?
[14:33] <Jack_Sparrow> synthe_ciser, It just helps people to know ...  I dont have an answer
[14:33] <achilles> ikonia, yes it is, my windows desktop can connect
[14:33] <abjurian> I booted 8.10 from usb key but it won't save my setting when I restart am I missing something? I used the admin create usb and it boots fine just won't save anything.
[14:34] <synthe_ciser> Jack_Sparrow, :/
[14:34] <ikonia> achilles: dissconnect your windows client, and try, isn't there a limit of how many connections can be made unless your running remote client licenses or terminal server
[14:34] <Stormx2> achilles: 5900 is a VNC port, not an RDP port, I think :/
[14:34] <aboSamoor> fblade1987:  I am using 2.6.27-10 on intrepid. I have a problem in wireless which iwl3945. It all the time get get authenticated and deauthenticated which result in very low throughput any idea
[14:34] <damo> there are no usable channel in the channel.conf.  Stormx2
[14:34] <deany> rdp is 3389, vnc 5900
[14:34] <Stormx2> thanks, deany
[14:35] <Stormx2> damo, eek.
[14:35] <achilles> Stormx2, ikonia maybe the remote desktop viewer by ubuntu assumes VNC , not windows RDP
[14:35] <deany> freenx is what i`d use if i wanted to do such things
[14:35] <DarkKnight> ikonia; i downloaded it from the website for amd64 and installed it as per this site  http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-Adobe-Flash-Player-64-bit-on-Ubuntu-8-10-98076.shtml
[14:35] <rbrunhuber> I'm getting a lot of size mismatch erros when using synaptic with a proxy. Any clues?
[14:35] <fblade1987> adosamor: you using the genric drivers that came with ubuntu or ndwrapper version
[14:35] <fblade1987> ndiswrapper*
[14:35] <ikonia> DarkKnight: thats still a beta product - so not suppoted
[14:35] <deany> the client can handle various protocols
[14:35] <ikonia> DarkKnight: all you needed to do was use the package "flashplugin-nonfree"
[14:35] <Zehava> Stormx2 The static sounds start durring boot, before x has even started.  The progress bar was only about 1 quarter the way across when it started.
[14:36] <abjurian> Hello I am stuck could some one please help I booted 8.10 from usb key but it won't save my setting when I restart am I missing something? I used the admin create usb and it boots fine just won't save anything.
[14:36] <fblade1987> also can anyone help out with my problem
[14:36] <ikonia> achilles: try installing the rdesktop client
[14:36] <Sertse> what wrong with the forums the last couple of days
[14:36] <Stormx2> achilles, Try using gnome-rdp
[14:36] <aboSamoor> fblade1987: I was using the supported drivers and then I switched to the latest drivers from linux wireless website without use
[14:36] <DarkKnight> ikonia; i had that before and i faced the same problem...then i used the instruction from that site and the problem remained the same
[14:36] <achilles> okay thanks, I will try
[14:37] <ikonia> DarkKnight: the site you want to see may not work, it's that simple
[14:37] <fblade1987> was it the same with supported drivers? or did it work then?
[14:37] <Stormx2> Zehava: I've no idea what the problem could be :/
[14:37] <DarkKnight> ikonia; there's no way of downloading it also...so i just can't see it
[14:37] <Zehava> Stormx2 Alright, thanks
[14:37] <ikonia> DarkKnight: what ?
[14:38] <synthe_ciser> anybody have an idea....?
[14:38] <ikonia> DarkKnight: downloading what ?
[14:38] <aar> Hi, after my last upgrade from openoffice 2 to 3.01, the theusaurus dictionaries have stopped working (the entry is greyed out in the menu). Is there a known way of fixing this?
[14:38] <DarkKnight> ikonia; the course notes are not downloadable and so i can't see it anymore then
[14:38] <Trapline91> Ok, so i installed a fresh version of 8.10 of Ubuntu and everything went fine I was able to install my hardware drivers for my Nvidia Geforce card but then after I downloaded all  the updates and installed and then restarted the computer my destkop effects stopped working...any ideas on how i could fix this problem please.
[14:38] <ikonia> aar: there is no open office 3 package - so what you've done is not supported
[14:38] <ikonia> DarkKnight: maybe they are not compatible with the linux version of flash
[14:39] <DarkKnight> ikonia; okk.. thank you anyways..
[14:39] <aar> ikonia, there is, in the multiverse repository.
[14:39] <aar> ikonia, I'm not asking for official support MS-style. I'm just asking whether someone knows how to fix this.
[14:40] <ikonia> aar: I dont see it in multiverse on 8.10
[14:41] <Jonty> How do I get my (wireless) network to login during boot and not after the GUI has loaded?
[14:41] <damo> Stormx2: any ideas?
[14:41] <ikonia> Jonty: hardcode it in /etc/network/interfaces
[14:41] <Jack_Sparrow> !irc
[14:42] <achilles> ikonia, Stormx2 thank you very much, gnome-rdp connects to the server, but it doesn't permit me to login, saying You are not a member of Remote Access Group
[14:42] <Stormx2> damo: None. I assume you selected the correct transmitter when it gave you a list, yeah?
[14:42] <Jonty> ikonia: where can I find what format to write that stuff in?
[14:42] <Jack_Sparrow> aar, You can look up the oo channel and ask in there
[14:42] <ikonia> Jonty: take a look at the file
[14:42] <ikonia> Jack_Sparrow: am I missing open office 3 in the multiverse repo - I can't see it
[14:42] <Stormx2> achilles, that's on the Windows side. Can't help you there
[14:42] <Jack_Sparrow> one sec
[14:42] <achilles> ikonia, Stormx2 but it's weird the same username and password can access from the windows machine
[14:42] <adam7> ikonia: I don't see it either
[14:42] <damo> Stormx2: i thought i did
[14:42] <achilles> Stormx2, aha, thank you very much
[14:42] <Stormx2> damo: I'd double check
[14:43] <ikonia> ara: open office 3 doesn't appear to be in the multiverse repo as you suggest, so I'm not sure where you are getting it from
[14:43] <abjurian> Hello I am stuck could some one please help I booted 8.10 from usb key but it won't save my setting when I restart am I missing something? I used the admin create usb and it boots fine just won't save anything.
[14:43] <adam7> ikonia: and isn't multiverse for legal-problem software?
[14:43] <ikonia> adam7: quite
[14:43] <Jonty> ikonia: it's only got some stuff about lo, no informative comments or anything
[14:43] <adam7> so it wouldn't even be in there to being with :/
[14:44] <ikonia> Jonty: check https://help.ubuntu.com in the community docs
[14:44] <Jonty> ikonia: ok
[14:44] <wolv3> Buenos Dias

[14:44] <aboSamoor> thanks very much it seems none has idea why iwl3945 has very low throughput  and detect very signals in week manner!
[14:44] <ikonia> nomingzi: your account
[14:45] <Lou_> Is there a console command to list all the executable applications installed?
[14:45] <ikonia> Lou_: dpkg -l shows all packages
[14:45] <DJones> ara: Did you install open office 3 from a PPA, if you've added the OO3 PPA to your sources list, that would explain why you've got it in multiverse
[14:45] <Jack_Sparrow> ikonia, I see the parts to oo not a open-office package 2 0r 3
[14:45] <Trapline91> Anyone know why the desktop effects in Ubuntu 8.10 don't work after I installed the updates? I have a Geforce 6200 and the restricted drivers are installed
[14:45] <RajaA731> hi there, i got wine-1.1.4 from a friend. i tried to install it, by first type the command './configure'. i can see some processing in the terminal, but it end up with 'configure: error: no suitable flex found. Please install the 'flex' package.'  Can anyone please tell me what to do
[14:46] <bert1> general question - is there any simple-ish way i can watch my school's online lectures on ubuntu? mplayer plugin won't play them and dual-booting to vista is annoying (but my only option). can i run wmp thru wine or something? any suggestions??
[14:46] <ikonia> RajaA731: ask your frirnd for help
[14:46] <Jack_Sparrow> RajaA731, /join #winehq
[14:46] <ikonia> RajaA731: if he's giving you wine source code he should know how to help
[14:46] <Lou_> ikonia, many thanks!
[14:47] <adam7> bert1: what format are said lectures in?
[14:47] <Jack_Sparrow> Trapline91, /join #nvidia   They may be able to help..  FYI  I am in there as well
[14:47] <Trapline91> thanks
[14:47] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[14:48] <bert1> adam7 -i'm not really sure. the file ends in .asx and streams under wmp10 when i run vista. does that answer the question?
[14:48] <adam7> bert1: some sort of Windows-format stream
[14:48] <adam7> bert1: have you tried VLC?
[14:49] <RajaA731> ikonia: infact my friends got it in a dvd which come with Chips. he himself he doesn't know how to use ubuntu.
[14:49] <ikonia> RajaA731: use the version thats in the repo then
[14:49] <bert1> adam7 - i'm not entirely sure how to open a url stream in vlc... i'll give it a go
[14:49] <ikonia> RajaA731: if you don't know what your doing - use the version that the ubuntu developers have taken the time to package for you
[14:50] <adam7> bert1: from a quick google search it appears VLC can play asx streams but I have never tried
[14:50] <thiebaude> !w32codecs
[14:50] <Stev3_v4|> ciao a tutti
[14:50] <adam7> bert1: looks like file -> open network or something like that
[14:50] <adam7> !it | Stev3_v4|
[14:50] <bert1> adam7 - ok i did that. unfortunately there is no sound and i can't play at fast speed and i can't pause or do really anything.. but that is definitely a start
[14:50] <Stev3_v4|> !it
[14:51] <Stev3_v4|> ?
[14:51] <kienerii> bert1: try to change the audio layer
[14:51] <adam7> bert1: it's a stream, so you can't pause or fast forward -- that's a limitation of the file format, not VLC
[14:51] <adam7> bert1: however, you can download the stream for listening later
[14:51] <adam7> bert1: http://uneasysilence.com/archive/2005/09/4216/
[14:52] <joseliki> hi people
[14:52] <shomon> hi, I'm trying to connect to a vpn with networkmanager, but it won't connect. How do I debug and find out where the error is?
[14:52] <kienerii> bert1: you need the libavcodec
[14:52] <kienerii> bert1: then try to open it with xine
[14:52] <adam7> kienerii: I think if you are using VLC you don't need those
[14:53] <bert1> can i get libavcodec via synaptic?
[14:53] <Fuzzy> guys how to root in GUI?
[14:53] <adam7> bert1: http://www.gromkov.com/faq/capture/record_streaming_video.html (scroll down to the method #2 section) tells how to record a stream with VLC (it shows in Windows, but the process is similar in Ubuntu)
[14:53] <kienerii> Fuzzy: start the software in you terminal
[14:53] <kitche> adam7: VLC does not play everything you still need the codecs to be on the safe side
[14:53] <baytes> Fuzzy: terminal, sudo programToStart
[14:53] <kienerii> Fuzzy: sudo firefox eg
[14:54] <adam7> !gksudo
[14:54] <shomon> it just says "vpn connection failed" how do I find out why?
[14:54] <adam7> kitche: VLC will play almost anything you run into
[14:54] <kek> I'm getting this message mailed to me from Anacron: "/etc/init.d/sysklogd: 154: cannot open /dev/console: Permission denied". Is it familiar to anyone and how can it be solved? I'm running intrepid on a OpenVZ slice.
[14:55] <kienerii> bert1: i think the stream itself is wmv
[14:55] <kienerii> asx includes the meta data, or not?
[14:55] <Enissa1> Hi all, i'm experiencing trouble under ubuntu 8.10, while working i got a black secreen, ctrl+alt+F7 gives nothing, restarting gdm neither..... any idea please?
[14:55] <kitche> adam7: no even the VLC developers say it doesn't do that anymore
[14:55] <slobad23> i am trying to use mount -t cifs //[server] but it wont work unless i give it //[server]/[folder] - is there no way i can browse the root directory? currently it tells me "mounting the dfs root for a particular server no implemented yet"
[14:55] <bert1> adam7, kienerii - thanks a lot. i'll keep working at this
[14:55] <w0ng> what were u doin "while working"
[14:55] <ikonia> kek: look at the permissions on /dev/console
[14:56] <wolv3> Anyone know why the Ubuntu 8.10 intrepid Inbex don't work after I installed the drivers? I have a XFX 7900 GT/GTO and the restricted drivers 1.73 are installed i got black screen
[14:56] <sachael> can someone recommend me a good calendar app, something like sunbird but not so ridiculously slow
[14:56] <baytes> bert1: make sure audio is enabled and output type is set to alsa (or your correct audio module)
[14:56] <kienerii> bert1: mmm try to open the asx file with a text editor and try to play the direct link with xine
[14:56] <kek> ikonia: They're set to rw------- and I don't have permission to change them (Operation not permitted)
[14:56] <Fuzzy> kienerii, no i mean how to be superuser on whole desktop? is that possible?
[14:57] <adam7> Fuzzy: it is, but why?
[14:57] <Fuzzy> adam7, my friend is interested not me.. how to pls
[14:57] <kienerii> Fuzzy: start your desktop with sudo *g*
[14:57] <jrib> Fuzzy: explain to him that it is not a good idea
[14:58] <Fuzzy> jrib, why it is not good idea?
[14:58] <jrib> Fuzzy: in fact, it's a very bad idea
[14:58] <adam7> Fuzzy: I can tell you but I'll also tell you it's a terrible idea
[14:58] <Fuzzy> jrib, ok, why?
[14:58] <slobad23> you should only be logged in as super user RARELY
[14:58] <adam7> Fuzzy: root has access to EVERYTHING
[14:58] <slobad23> you do not need to be able to break your machine all the time
[14:58] <adam7> Fuzzy: makes it very easy to screw up the computer
[14:59] <adam7> Fuzzy: plus, anyone who exploits a security flaw in an application (for instance, Firefox) can destroy everything on you hard drive
[14:59] <thiebaude> Fuzzy: yup
[14:59] <slobad23> i dont know about you, but when it asks me for a password, or i forget sudo in the front to allow myself to do it, it makes me think twic about what i am actually doing... stoped some major screw ups :)
[14:59] <Fuzzy> allright guys thank you
[14:59] <Fuzzy> a bunch
[14:59] <slobad23> and you should not be logging into IRC as root :P
[14:59] <Fuzzy> i'll tell him...
[15:00] <adam7> Fuzzy: if your friend really wants to put his system in that much trouble, System -> Admin -> Login Window has the setting
[15:00] <adam7> I'll let you find it in there :)
[15:01] <slobad23> can i mount a server name directly in samba, or does it NEED a share folder? ie //[server]/[share] rather than just //[server]

[15:05] <zmanning> mezquitale: its obviously gained inteligence. destroy it.
[15:05] <bert1> alright. i've got the .wmv url and i opened it in xine. still no sound - does that mean i need the libavcodec library?
[15:05] <ygor> does anyone know the name of the tool that allow us to install .iso files on usb drivers? that can be installed on 8.04 hardy heron?
[15:05] <Jack_Sparrow> mezquitale, If it is a laptop, one suspect is overheating
[15:05] <fosco_> ygor: unetbootin
[15:05] <bob9999> ok...the error is: GPG error, couldn't access keyring, no such file or directory
[15:05] <Fuzzy> adam7, ty a bounch
[15:05] <adam7> bert1: no -- it's probably playing, check the volume controls
[15:05] <Fuzzy> allright bb
[15:05] <Jack_Sparrow> ygor, iso2usb script
[15:06] <ygor> fosco_: is that on synaptic?
[15:06] <slobad23> ygor, you can download the fedora usb creator (available on both windows ad linux)
[15:06] <Jack_Sparrow> ygor, Make an iso on usb bootable http://jak-linux.org/tmp/iso2usb.sh
[15:06] <Ward1983> ubuntu server 8.04 has xen support right? (as in a apt-getable xen kernel)
[15:06] <kienerii> bert1: did you install the win32codecs?
[15:06] <fosco_> ygor: no
[15:06] <JBzh> I'm looking for vasuntu documentation (Voiceone, Asterisk and Skype on Ubuntu) but can't find it on the vasuntu website nor with google. Does someone use it and know a place where I can find this doc ?
[15:06] <Jack_Sparrow> bob9999, sudo apt-get install pastebinit  && pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list    (Provide Pastebin link in channel)
[15:07] <bert1> adam7 - you're right. my sound is screwy. ok, so to play this stuff my process is basically open the lecture, get the .asx url, open that with gedit, get the .wmv url, then open that with xine and i'm golden. got it. thanks a lot kienerii, adam7. biiiig help
[15:07] <ygor> fosco_: but are we talking about the tool that cames with the 8.10 ?
[15:07] <mezquitale> Jack_Sparrow, I can troubleshoot hardware, im on a desktop, there are no messages with dmesg, other thing I can think about is a power surge
[15:07] <onemb> hi all
[15:07] <fosco_> ygor: i do not, are you?
[15:08] <ygor> fosco_: i mean, i used before the 8.10, but acciddentaly i downloaded the 8.04, and does not include this tool for usb drivers ...
[15:08] <Zehava> In the ifconfig, is the bcast:IP considered the 'default gateway'?
[15:08] <Jack_Sparrow> mezquitale, Did it come back up ?
[15:08] <mezquitale> this is the second time my desktop turns itself on its own though, very weird, the fan is fine, what other logs could i check?
[15:08] <dfsfd> hi
[15:08] <fosco_> ygor: its name is usb-creator, but i think it is not available for hardy
[15:08] <slobad23> what model is your pc mezquitale
[15:08] <bob9999> ok done - pastebin is cool :)
[15:08] <mezquitale> Jack_Sparrow, yes i turned it on just fine, its workign ok now, i was just wondering if there were any logs created
[15:08] <bob9999> http://pastebin.com/f5818c36a
[15:09] <mezquitale> slobad23, custom box athlon x2 processor

[15:09] <mrwoody> Hi *. When I mount an external hdd, on my desktop it shows something like 259.5 GB Media. Is there anyway that I can change its name
[15:09] <Jack_Sparrow> bob9999, Are you running on a netbook?  With remix?
[15:09] <dabd> I'm trying to add a keybinding for dmenu with gconf-editor but I always get an error 'Failed to execute child process'
[15:09] <slobad23> mezquitale, the reason i ask is with acers, i have had issue with the power pins coming loose and the thing shutting down on its own
[15:10] <ygor> fosco_: ah ok. so can i install the unetbooting on hardy right?
[15:10] <bob9999> netbook but with stock ubuntu & fluxbox
[15:10] <Enissa1> Hi all, i'm experiencing trouble under ubuntu 8.10, while working i got a black secreen, ctrl+alt+F7 gives nothing, restarting gdm neither..... any idea please?
[15:10] <chad_> Heyy,,, is there a way to transfer files from windows to ubuntu without logging into the ubuntu distro? (All on the same HDD)
[15:10] <fosco_> ygor: yes, it is an external app, not from ubuntu
[15:10] <n8tuser> mrwoody-> yes you may, you have to fiddle with udev rules   man udev
[15:10] <jef_newbuntu> im really new to linux, its my first try and im little bit affraid :P Can someone answer to very few basic questions i have plz ?
[15:10] <ygor> Jack_Sparrow: so how can i use this iso2usb?
[15:11] <n8tuser> jef_newbuntu-> what are you afraid of?
[15:11] <dave_V> #kubuntu
[15:11] <ygor> fosco_: ok, im gonna check it out..thanx mate
[15:11] <slobad23> !ask | jef_newbuntu
[15:11] <Jack_Sparrow> ygor, read the script... it is plain text
[15:11] <jef_newbuntu> loll
[15:11] <jef_newbuntu> right
[15:11] <jef_newbuntu> ok
[15:11] <ygor> Jack_Sparrow: ok
[15:11] <mrwoody> n8tuser: there are no frontends for that?
[15:11] <Jack_Sparrow> !enter > jef_newbuntu
[15:11] <differentreality> hi, i am using ubuntu 8.04 and I have probably messed up my network manager seriously because I can only connect through ethernet.  in iwconfig i have the interface wlan0 I can manually set the essid and it even associates with the access point.  But I still cannot access the internet (but I'm sure is everything ok with the wireless network).  So what should I do to either make the network manager work properly again or in some way connect to the
[15:11] <differentreality> internet wirelessly ? thanks a lot
[15:11] <n8tuser> Enissa1-> do you get a console with ctrl+alt+F1 ?
[15:11] <mrwoody> n8tuser: I was able to set it up so that it mounts where I want it to be
[15:11] <bob9999> anyone got any thoughts?
[15:12] <Enissa1> n8tuser: yes
[15:12] <Jack_Sparrow> bob9999, there is a channel for netbook-remix  I just dont remember what it is
[15:12] <bob9999> i'm not running netbook-remix
[15:12] <n8tuser> mrwoody-> no frontends that am aware of yet
[15:12] <bob9999> im running stock ubuntu
[15:12] <Jack_Sparrow> bob9999, Then you ought to pull that out of  your sources list
[15:12] <bob9999> well
[15:13] <ygor> slobad23: oh, i can use the fedora usb creator? is there a link there ? :P
[15:13] <mrwoody> n8tuser: ok.. thanks. Also is there a way not to open nautilus for each partition each time that I connect the hdd?
[15:13] <bob9999> stock ubuntu with a custom kernel :)
[15:13] <n8tuser> Enissa1-> can you log on to a console? and do some checking? like your X.log files
[15:13] <Jack_Sparrow> bob9999, What country's reps are you using
[15:13] <bob9999> cyprus by the looks of things
[15:13] <Weili> Hi, i got a problem when trying to compile the miktex package manager: i already untared the directory and changed into it by using cd, and then typed ./configure, just as the tutorial said: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MiktexPackageManager but i get this message: "no such file or directory"
[15:13] <ne2k__> n8tuser: not quite. you get a virtual terminal
[15:14] <n8tuser> mrwoody-> i dont think they have refined events yet to allow easy usage of end users, am struggling enuff with just using the basics of events
[15:14] <Jack_Sparrow> bob9999, We dont support custom kernels... but that isnt your problem.. try a different country.  pull the remix off your list and try update again
[15:14] <n8tuser> ne2k__-> what do you mean?
[15:14] <bob9999> but it's security.ubuntu.com that's failing
[15:14] <Jack_Sparrow> Weili, did you cd to the directory where the package is?
[15:14] <ne2k__> n8tuser: you don't get "a console" if you press ctrl-alt-f1 from X Windows. you get a virtual terminal.
[15:15] <ne2k__> n8tuser: there is only one console
[15:15] <Weili> yes i think so... all the files of miktex is in the folder miktex-2.7.3135, and i typed cd /home/weili/Desktop/miktex-2.7.3135
[15:15] <n8tuser> ne2k__-> are you sure? you dont get X with ctrl+alt+F1 , those are consoles yes?
[15:15] <Black0leander> hi, my mom has a computer that doesn't have an ethernet card and connects to a cable modem with usb.  If she installs the latest ubuntu will she have to do anything special to get it working?
[15:15] <ne2k__> n8tuser: no, they are virtual terminals
[15:15] <jef_newbuntu> iv just installed ubuntu 8.10 when i was in WinXp with Wubi.exe  Now im booting in ubuntu. First i was wondering what means the different session offered to loggin (eg. Xscript, GNOME, etc)
[15:16] <shomon> hi, I'm trying to connect to a vpn with networkmanager, but I get "vpn connection error". I've been to the troubleshooting section at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VPNClient
[15:16] <Weili> the folder is on the desktop, and i installed build-essential and libcurl4-openssl-dev (i found no 4 in synaptic) too
[15:16] <n8tuser> ne2k__-> okay, where is the only console you speak of?
[15:16] <shomon> all I need really is the location of the logs
[15:16] <shomon> if anyone knows, thanks
[15:16] <slobad23> jef_newbuntu, gnome is the window manager. you cna choose to install enlightenment, kde, fluxbox - and have all these available to you as window managers later
[15:16] <Enissa1> n8tuser: How, tell what to do...
[15:17] <VioletsPie> How dangerous is it to mount internal media in Ubuntu ( i have multiple partitions and two OS )
[15:17] <Pretto> shomon, try /var/log/syslog
[15:17] <shomon> cheers Pretto !
[15:17] <kienerii_> Black0leander: it should not be a problem
[15:17] <Adam_> !scripts | Adam_
[15:17] <Black0leander> ok
[15:17] <Black0leander> thanks
[15:17] <ne2k__> n8tuser: well, it's essentially there too. it's a bit difficult to explain (probably because I don't understand it fully myself).
[15:17] <n8tuser> Enissa1-> you can log on and poke around your log files?
[15:17] <fosco_> VioletsPie: no danger
[15:17] <Jack_Sparrow> jef_newbuntu, Did you do a normal install now that you have finished with the wubi test drive
[15:18] <n8tuser> ne2k__-> i do believe those at ctrl+alt+f1 are the consoles, look at the tty definitions in /etc/event.d  for those tty
[15:18] <kienerii_> Black0leander: just try ifconfig usb0 oder usb1
[15:18] <VioletsPie> what's the ubuntu equivalent of winrar?
[15:18] <Jack_Sparrow> !rar
[15:19] <VioletsPie> thanks
[15:19] <Weili> Jack_Sparrow: yes i think so... all the files of miktex are in the folder Xmiktex-2.7.3135" on the desktop, and i typed cd /home/weili/Desktop/miktex-2.7.3135
[15:19] <VioletsPie> !info unrar-free
[15:19] <Weili> ops of course i meant "miktex-2.7.3135"
[15:19] <mandarin> bonjour la room
[15:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Weili, if you type ls at that point do you see the files?
[15:20] <Jack_Sparrow> !hi
[15:20] <Black0leander> kienerii_, the modem drivers will be loaded?
[15:20] <Weili> Jack_Sparrow: yes
[15:20] <n8tuser> Enissa1-> perhaps you can also try ctrl+alt+F8 or F9 to see somehow the X server moved there?
[15:20] <ygor> does anyone know the page to download ubuntu 8.10 daily image?
[15:20] <jef_newbuntu> Jack_Sparrow: I though it was one, how different would it be?
[15:20] <shomon> that ubottu is friendly. I wonder what it looks like in person :)
[15:20] <Adam_> whats the default extension for a plain text file in ubuntu?
[15:21] <Jack_Sparrow> Weili, then I have no answer, check with the page where you downloaded the source/software
[15:21] <mrwoody> how to change the default file association in nautilus?
[15:21] <Jack_Sparrow> jef_newbuntu, Huge difference
[15:21] <Weili> Jack_Sparrow: ok, thanks anyway
[15:21] <Jack_Sparrow> !wubi
[15:21] <ygor> !daily image
[15:22] <Jack_Sparrow> jef_newbuntu, I wont use, nor recommend it to anyone
[15:22] <ygor> !daily build
[15:22] <Marfi> so if i found a flaw with ubuntu...who would i talk to?
[15:22] <Jack_Sparrow> !bug
[15:23] <Zach_Beauvais> hiya... just got ubuntu 8.1 installed and running on a latest-model iMac (using 64 bit)... anyone know how to make the wireless work?
[15:23] <ne2k__> Adam_: you should dispense with your notions of file extensions
[15:23] <Marfi> Jack_Sparrow, its not really a bug, but more of a glitch that affects many versions of ubuntu
[15:23] <Jack_Sparrow> Marfi, Same difference
[15:23] <Enissa1> n8tuser: here's my logs when it happens http://pastebin.com/d14fac0e3
[15:23] <n8tuser> Enissa1-> perhaps you can also try ctrl+alt+F8 or F9 to see somehow the X server moved there? <--
[15:23] <mrwoody> how to change the default file association in nautilus?
[15:24] <Black0leander> does wubi get rid of windows like a regular install?
[15:24] <Enissa1> n8tuser: that gives nothing
[15:24] <Adam_> ne2k__: really? I've been trying to find an extension for forever on this thing
[15:24] <Marfi> Jack_Sparrow, it allows you to get a root account on any locked down version of ubuntu. i really don't want to put that on the web. =)
[15:24] <rbrunhuber>  I'm getting a lot of size mismatch erros when using synaptic/apt(itude) with a proxy. Any clues?
[15:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Black0leander, no, and the regular install does not get rid of windows unless you tell it to do so
[15:24] <ne2k__> Adam_: extensions are a product of the evil MS
[15:25] <Adam_> !extensions
[15:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Marfi, /join #Ubuntu-ops if you care to explain it
[15:25] <Black0leander> i meant does it have a stage where you can partition and get rid of windows like the regular install
[15:25] <Marfi> Jack_Sparrow, kk, ty
[15:25] <Adam_> ne2k__: enlighten me oh ne2k!
[15:25] <ActionParsnip1> Adam_: the file command is used to identify the file, the extension is fairly pointless
[15:25] <n8tuser> Enissa1-> you can try restarting gdm?  sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart or   killall gdmbinary
[15:25] <nda> I like windows and there's NOTHING you can do about it :P
[15:25] <jef_newbuntu> Jack_Sparrow: ok, then i tried installing ubuntu on another partition following using a ubuntu 8.10 iso file and following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux but in terminal it tells me that operation is not permitted
[15:26] <Zach_Beauvais> Anyone know anything about running on iMac? much of my hardware doesn't seem supported (including wireless ;( )
[15:26] <Enissa1> n8tuser: i did it and i got just a black empty screen
[15:26] <ActionParsnip1> nda: correct, have a cookie
[15:26] <unr3a1> hey alll
[15:26] <Jack_Sparrow> !install
[15:26] <knut> where can i find a manual for makeing ubuntu bootable from usb drive???
[15:26] <knut> a working maual
[15:26] <nda> Yeah, Ubuntu sucks for hardware support. Try a different distribution instead.
[15:26] <ActionParsnip1> !usb | knut
[15:26] <jef_newbuntu> i see
[15:27] <nicobi24> hello
[15:27] <unr3a1> could anyone tell me why firefox opens up basically in full screen mode?  here is a screenie:  http://preview.tinyurl.com/8e2s6e
[15:27] <n8tuser> Enissa1-> try to wait long enuff? and i dont know if ctrl+alt+f8 or f9 or f10 will show the X display again
[15:27] <Adam_> nda: not to rain on your troll, but everything on my t43 worked on install with ubuntu, i had to install drivers for hours on vista
[15:27] <qqx> my firefox is starting without a top bar
[15:27] <Dre4m> Hi guys, I am very new to linux and ubuntu infact about 36 hours old. Basically . . . I have 1 HARD DRIVE running WINDOWS and 1 HARD DRIVE running UBUNTU, the FIRST HARD DRIVE WITH WINDOWS ON has a "D" Partition in which all my files are stored eg music video documents etc etc. I am trying to access this patition through UBUNTU . . I think I can see the drive volume name called LOCAL FILES when im in "COMPUTER" inside ubuntu but when i click on it it wants me
[15:27] <fosco_> unr3a1: press F1 twice
[15:27] <fosco_> unr3a1: press F11 twice
[15:27] <nicobi24> i have installed ubuntu as my first linux experience..  i like it except no sounds'
[15:28] <nda> adam: that doesn't mean anything
[15:28] <nda> It are fact that Ubuntu hardware support lacks
[15:28] <Adam_> nda: it meant everything to me
[15:28] <cropalato> histo, i am with a problem. I use "LANG" variable to change the language of a app, but if i don't close this app and want to open another copy of the same app i can not open with my original language. how can i fix it?
[15:28] <nicobi24> i have been googling this for a week now.
[15:28] <slobad23> nda,  you must be joking :)
[15:28] <nda> I tried it on my Laptop, and Wifi never worked
[15:28] <nda> I followed the internet-advice, didnt work either
[15:28] <ygor> hey Guys..does any1 know why theres a live daily build for the 8.04 and theres no daily build for 8.10 ?
[15:28] <jrib> nda: true or not, this channel is for support, not rants.  Please move your conversation elsewhere.  If you want help getting stuff to work, then ask that question.
[15:28] <Zach_Beauvais> what's the terminal command for running an app?
[15:29] <Dre4m> (15:27:40) Dre4m: Hi guys, I am very new to linux and ubuntu infact about 36 hours old. Basically . . . I have 1 HARD DRIVE running WINDOWS and 1 HARD DRIVE running UBUNTU, the FIRST HARD DRIVE WITH WINDOWS ON has a "D" Partition in which all my files are stored eg music video documents etc etc. I am trying to access this patition through UBUNTU . . I think I can see the drive volume name called LOCAL FILES when im in "COMPUTER" inside ubuntu but when i click
[15:29] <slobad23> nda, if you judged linux distros by their wireless support, you wont get on very well with any of them
[15:29] <jrib> Zach_Beauvais: you just put the command
[15:29] <unr3a1> fosco_: I have been pressing F11 twice, but why does firefox open up that way in the first place?
[15:29] <melch> Zach_Beauvais: what app?
[15:29] <fosco_> Zach_Beauvais: the name of the app
[15:29] <damo> how can i configure my tv turner card?
[15:29] <n8tuser> just an fyi...  I got hold of a Windows 7 beta,  installed it on same machine that I have this gutsy running,  and whoala  7 cannot detect my tulip ethernet nics nor my TI acx111 wireless. so in comparison, Seven suks.. hehehe
[15:29] <cropalato> xapp, firefox
[15:29] <Lou__> Is there anyway to get someone to fix this bug:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/281622   It affects openoffice, skype, midnight commander gnome, nautilius and many other programs, including the bug reporting module. Or if the problem is something I have done, I would like to know it. Thanks.
[15:29] <nda> Alright, I need advice
[15:29] <Zach_Beauvais> ndiswrapper
[15:29] <qqx> my firefox is starting without a top bar could anyone help?
[15:29] <nda> How the fsck do I get Wifi to work on the Acer Aspire One?
[15:29] <jef_newbuntu> can I use a DVD to burn a linux installing booting CD iso file without any different manipulation needed?
[15:30] <fosco_> qqx: press F11 twice
[15:30] <Pici> jef_newbuntu: Yes. But remember to burn at the slowest speed.
[15:30] <qqx> thanks , hope that works
[15:30] <qqx> worked
[15:30] <n8tuser> Pici-> but would that become a bootable dvd ? or perhaps i mis-understood what the guy said?
[15:31] <isiah> I am dual-booting fedora and ubuntu, is there a way to share ubuntu's programs with fedora that way I can avoid downloading the same binaries twice?
[15:31] <unr3a1> fosco_: I have been pressing F11 twice, but firefox always opens that way.  is this a setting that i can modify?
[15:31] <tna> Ignorant fools, always with the ban-hammer :(
[15:31] <tna> You cannot ever ban trolls from the interwebs
[15:31] <Pici> n8tuser: erm, maybe I misunderstood the question.
[15:31] <n8tuser> isiah-> nope,  it uses different libraries
[15:31] <fosco_> unr3a1: sorry, i don't know what the problem is
[15:32] <Jack_Sparrow> At least he knows he is a troll
[15:32] <slobad23> what would his mother say - tut tut
[15:32] <n8tuser> Pici -> let me pose the question, would burning the livecd iso into a dvd make the resultant dvd bootable as if it was a livecd ?
[15:32] <damo> how can i configure my tv turner card?
[15:32] <sachael> does anyone know where the gtk stock icons are located?
[15:33] <tna> Can't an honest man have some conversation here :(
[15:33] <fosco_> sachael: /usr/share/icons
[15:33] <slobad23> welcome tna, please feel free to join in the ubuntu discussion :)
[15:33] <Pici> n8tuser: Yes.
[15:33] <isiah> n8tuser: thank you
[15:34] <tna> I have been told to shut up, not by words though. Weak people are afraid to use words :(
[15:34] <n8tuser> Pici -> okay, good info to know, i have not tried them yet
[15:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Sorry people, a little housekeeping
[15:34] <Pici> tna: This is a support channel, please keep your comments on-topic here.
[15:34] <n8tuser> isiah-> you're welcome, besides, hd are very inexpensive now adays..
[15:34] <slobad23> busy Jack_Sparrow ? :)
[15:35] <Pici> !traffic
[15:35] <Pici> Sorry for the mess :)
[15:35] <isiah> n8tuser: I know it just seems so wasteful. I been able to get some of my shell scripts to share.
[15:35] <MOUD> Hey all
[15:36] <n8tuser> isiah-> the problem is where the modules or libraries are different so if the app is expecting one way and they appear in different dir, then it will now work, and plus the libs its compiled againts maybe different versions
[15:37] <enzo_5> i'm trying to find the mod_headers for apache2.2, do you in which package i can find that ?
[15:37] <yves_> quit
[15:37] <rbrunhuber> enzo_5: try packages.ubuntu.com
[15:37] <Jack_Sparrow> slobad23, Better now..thanks
[15:38] <enzo_5> ok rbrunhuber
[15:38] <isiah> n8tuser: I was kinda of hoping that I could just hack around that.

[15:42] <ActionParsnip1> Zach_Beauvais: thats how linux sees your device, you may see it as a netgear pci adapter but thats just a plastic shell, you are driving the chip inside
[15:42] <Zach_Beauvais> gotcha...

[15:45] <ActionParsnip1> Zach_Beauvais: is it pci or usb?
[15:45] <newbie> you should really be ashamed of yourselves :(
[15:45] <Zach_Beauvais> internal...
[15:45] <racerx> n8tuser: my /home is also encrypted
[15:45] <jef_newbuntu> i will redownload iso file since it seems that hashes checksum doesnt match and i will try the no CD procedure
[15:45] <kiru> can i restart /dev/dsp?
[15:45] <n8tuser> racerx -> interesting quetion, how is your /home mounted now? ie how is the enc/decrypt  activated?
[15:45] <ActionParsnip1> mrwoody: right click file -> open with, select app and click remember this association
[15:45] <racerx> basically everything is encrypted except the /boot
[15:45] <Zach_Beauvais> btw, I'm a linux noob, I'm afraid...
[15:45] <ikonia> Zach_Beauvais: everyone is new at some point, don't worry
[15:45] <ActionParsnip1> Zach_Beauvais: if its a laptop make sure the device is enabled at the switch
[15:46] <jef_newbuntu> does wibu will allow me to do installation?

[15:46] <n8tuser> racerx -> do you follow what am asking ? how is the encryption/decryption done with your mounted /home?
[15:46] <ActionParsnip1> Zach_Beauvais: thats gotta suck for power if its uneeded
[15:46] <themoose> Hello, I need help installing a patch for a program called QLandkarte.
[15:47] <Zach_Beauvais> It's a desktop...
[15:47] <kiru> themoose is german ^^
[15:47] <racerx> n8tuser: when i start up my computer and login it automatically enable and decrypt me into my home directory
[15:47] <mrwoody> ActionParsnip1: the point is that a long list of application would show up. I want to modify the default one
[15:47] <Zach_Beauvais> power's never been an issue with desktops, has it?
[15:47] <MOUD_> kiru: it doesn't show the IP
[15:47] <n8tuser> racerx  can you post your /etc/fstab  just out of curiosity?
[15:47] <ActionParsnip1> mrwoody: yes you choose the desired app then theres a lil tick box to make it remember
[15:47] <RegressLess> Can someone help me set up a mp3 alarm notification? Tried Evolution Mail, Thunderbird with Lightning, and also Sunbird to no avail. Using Ubuntu 8.10
[15:47] <Max007> hi
[15:48] <themoose> No, I'm not german...
[15:48] <kiru> MOUD, you are right... it shows your own ip... sorry, i donno
[15:48] <ActionParsnip1> Zach_Beauvais: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Intel_iMac#WiFi%20/%20Airport
[15:48] <racerx> n8tuser: I created the encryption/decryption partition when I first tried to install the computer.
[15:48] <MOUD_> kiru: no, thanks for the info though :)
[15:48] <Max007> How do I install themes for compiz ? I enabled 3D Desktop and want to use some compiz themes
[15:48] <themoose> Anyway, I have a patch here, and I have no clue what to do with it.
[15:48] <slobad23> can i configure my wireless card to work from the terminal or do i need a GUI tool for this?
[15:48] <kiru> does anyone know how i could restart the sound
[15:48] <Padhu> my PidGin will not connect Google talk automatically. anybody help me
[15:48] <Zach_Beauvais> Yes... I've seen that... the Broadcom has been activated... but it didn't change anything
[15:48] <n8tuser> racerx  can you post your /etc/fstab  just out of curiosity? <-- can you post this ?
[15:48] <Zach_Beauvais> and it won't run my graphics driver...
[15:48] <mrwoody> ActionParsnip1: i don't see that box. Also, that wouldn't change the default one anyway
[15:48] <rbrunhuber> kiru: whats the problem being german?
[15:49] <fosco_> Max007: compiz can use metacity themes or emerald themes
[15:49] <kiru> rbrunhuber, i am german too :)
[15:49] <fosco_> Max007: find them at www.gnome-look.org
[15:49] <RegressLess> Can someone help me set up a mp3 alarm notification? Tried Evolution Mail, Thunderbird with Lightning, and also Sunbird to no avail. Using Ubuntu 8.10
[15:49] <Max007> fosco_: yeah I know but if I install some compiz themes in emerald themes manager it doesn't work
[15:50] <n8tuser> RegressLess >  what you wanted to do? once mp3 do what, you want to ?
[15:50] <ActionParsnip1> mrwoody: http://linuxtuts.blogspot.com/2008/02/how-to-change-file-type-associations-in.html
[15:50] <fosco_> Max007: make sure compiz is using emerald, use fusion-icon or execute emerald --replace
[15:50] <themoose> Look, all I need is someone to give me a command string and Ill be on my way.
[15:50] <ActionParsnip1> Max007: i'd head over to #compiz
[15:50] <Max007> fosco_: ok it works with emerald --replace
[15:50] <rbrunhuber> RegressLess: did you try the "alarm" package? There should be plenty of programms to do this.
[15:50] <Max007> fosco_: how do I set emerald as the default decorator ?
[15:51] <kiru> is /dev/dsp mounted somewhere?
[15:51] <fosco_> Max007: use fusion-icon
[15:51] <racerx> I wiped it out but I wanted to encrypted partitions but find that I have a problem when I try to upgrade to a new ubuntu distribution. I use the alternate install disk to create the encryption. It is too bad for me I don't have the fstab available.
[15:51] <ActionParsnip1> Max007: create a basic sript to run the command and add it to startup
[15:51] <VioletsPie> how do i upgrade an app?
[15:51] <mrwoody> ActionParsnip1: thanks.. that helps
[15:51] <Zach_Beauvais> ActionParsnip1: I found it... you need to restart after activating the Ibex-wrapped driver...
[15:51] <ActionParsnip1> !startup | Max007
[15:51] <ActionParsnip1> Zach_Beauvais: cool
[15:51] <RegressLess> n8tuser: trying to set up alarm notifications that won't be ignored accidentally, so I want to use one of my mp3's to get my attention, but every time I try to set up a custom sound it lets me (in all 3 applications) but it doesn't work. Audio works fine in all other applications.
[15:51] <themoose> Anyone? Anyone at all? How do you install a patch?
[15:51] <Zach_Beauvais> Ha Ha... I'm online, thanks ActionParsnip1
[15:51] <Max007> da826
[15:52] <ActionParsnip1> VioletsPie: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[15:52] <ActionParsnip1> Zach_Beauvais: sweet move duder
[15:52] <Max007> thank you
[15:52] <rbrunhuber> themoose: What do you mean with a patch?
[15:52] <Zach_Beauvais> heh... it won't activate my graphics driver tho... :(
[15:53] <n8tuser> RegressLess >I guess what am trying to understand is what mechanism you will use to trigger the event?
[15:53] <ActionParsnip1> Zach_Beauvais: its in that guide
[15:53] <themoose> rbrunhuber: I have a patch here for a program called "QLandkrarte", heres a link<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[15:53] <ActionParsnip1> Zach_Beauvais: why buy expensive mac mac hardware to put linux on?
[15:53] <Zach_Beauvais> It's just a bootcamp... not my main
[15:53] <themoose> rbrunhuber: And I have no clue how to use it.
[15:53] <ActionParsnip1> Zach_Beauvais: oic
[15:54] <MOUD_> Is it possible to add a RSS on the desktop?
[15:54] <Zach_Beauvais> I like the idea of open OS, and would like to support it, but I'm also a fan of OSX (and I'm very happy with the quality of software/hardware I get that way)
[15:54] <Dorobo18jp> anyone know of a Voip ..pc- phone program for linux no skype ?
[15:54] <baytes> MOUD_: screenlets
[15:54] <RegressLess> n8tuser: I'm not sure I understand you either :P. For instance, I now have Sunbird installed. I want to create an event with a custom alarm, which is one of my mp3's so that I don't forget to do something.
[15:54] <fosco_> Dorobo18jp: ekyga
[15:54] <slobad23> Dorobo18jp,  ekiga
[15:54] <baytes> MOUD_: gdesklets
[15:55] <MOUD_> baytes: thank, I'll take a look
[15:55] <baytes> MOUD_: i prefer screenlets
[15:55] <baytes> np
[15:55] <RegressLess> n8tuser: It lets me set it up, but the son just doesn't play
[15:55] <mrwoody> Hi *. When I mount an external hdd, on my desktop it shows something like 259.5 GB Media. Is there anyway that I can change its name
[15:55] <RegressLess> n8tuser: no error, just no sound
[15:55] <rbrunhuber> themoose: this will normally mean quite some work. you have to use the "patch" utility and compile the programm again.
[15:56] <n8tuser> RegressLess >would the trigger of the event able to call a script? perhaps do it that way?
[15:56] <Owner> hello, I cant seem to get internet connection sharing to work from an ibookg4 2 my ubuntu box. The connection is established, but no pages will load
[15:56] <ActionParsnip1> Dorobo18jp: wengophone maybe
[15:57] <themoose> rbrunhuber:Ok, so after I use "patch", I just have to remove the one I got from apt-get, download QLandkarte as an .tar.gz, and make it?
[15:57] <RegressLess> n8tuser: I am wondering why I have the same problem with all three programs I've tried. It seems there's something bigger I've missed.
[15:57] <MOUD_> baytes: I'm downloading both
[15:57] <rbrunhuber> themoose: you could do this or try to download the source of the apt-get package and try to apply the patch there.
[15:57] <Dorobo18jp> is there any free Voip software out there im in japan and the calls are very expensive
[15:58] <RegressLess> n8tuser: scripting is beyond me, I'd like to make it work the way it's supposed to work.
[15:58] <themoose> Ok, and how do I use the "patch" utlity?
[15:58] <ActionParsnip1> Owner: can you ping web pages by name and / or ip?
[15:58] <Owner> ActionParsnip1: no
[15:58] <themoose> rbrunhuber> Ok, and how do I use the "patch" utility?
[15:58] <baytes> MOUD_: yea, play around with the different "widgets" and see which you like better. also a google search for 'screenlets' or 'gdesklets' will result in additional "widgets"
[15:59] <ActionParsnip1> Owner: check the system using the shared connection, does it have a default gateway specified?
[15:59] <ne2k__> can ubuntu installed disk create a software raid with a nice GUI and install to it?
[15:59] <n8tuser> RegressLess -> oh well, i dont know how your setup is supposed to work,
[15:59] <baytes> MOUD_: i believe screenlets comes with a rss "widget" by default not sure about gdesklets though.
[15:59] <nesoi> hello, I just upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 and my network no longer works
[15:59] <ActionParsnip1> Owner: does it have dns servers specified in /etc/resolv.conf?
[15:59] <nesoi> what should I do?
[15:59] <ActionParsnip1> nesoi: run lspci to determine your network device and websearch
[15:59] <n8tuser> nesoi -> can you elaborate on your network layout? what is connected to what? what is acting a dhcp?
[16:00] <RegressLess> n8tuser: Tell me one that will work and I'll try it. That is the point of trying 3 different programs. Do you have a way to set up alarms on your computer?
[16:00] <Owner> ActionParsnip1: i'll check
[16:00] <Weejee> nesoi, we need more details to help
[16:00] <ActionParsnip1> !ics | Owner
[16:00] <Weejee> Did you maybe compile your own network drivers and did the kernel upgrade break them
[16:00] <n8tuser> RegressLess -> one is via cron, the other is via  syslogd,
[16:01] <nesoi> Weejee, thanks, it's an IBM T23 laptop and the wired ethernet controller is an intel 82801CAM (ICH3) pro/100 VE ethernet controller rev 42
[16:01] <RegressLess> n8tuser: can you set up reoccurring alarms with either of those?
[16:01] <nesoi> I also would like a wireless card in one of the cardbus slots to work but first things first
[16:01] <n8tuser> just an fyi, i got hold of Windows 7 beta, installed it on same machine as this gutsy am running, and it cannot detect my tulip based ethernet nor TI acx111 based wifi,  so theres a good comparison.. hehe
[16:01] <ActionParsnip1> nesoi: best way, one at a time
[16:02] <Weejee> Does ifconfig/networkmanager see the interface?
[16:02] <rbrunhuber> themoose: I won't guide you through this process. Because you should avoid the use of selfcompiled software "at any cost".
[16:02] <archman_> hello
[16:02] <baytes> n8tuser: becareful and dont run wmp
[16:02] <archman_> whats the daemon-tools alternative?
[16:02] <n8tuser> RegressLess -> yes, with cron, you can set your alarm every tick of a sec, to mins, to days to weeks,  with syslogd, its an event
[16:02] <nesoi> Weejee, how can I tell?
[16:02] <n8tuser> baytes -> what is wmp?
[16:02] <nesoi> when I try to set properties for eth0 it says no such device, but I'm not sure if the wired connection is eth0
[16:03] <baytes> n8tuser: windows media player, you heard about the beta corupting mp3's?
[16:03] <Weejee> nesoi, Try 'ifconfig' in a terminal
[16:03] <nesoi> it also shows eth1:avahi
[16:03] <dabd> is it possible to install apache 1.3 on ubuntu intrepid via synaptic?
[16:03] <baytes> n8tuser: google it ;)
[16:03] <Zach_Beauvais> anyone know how I found out what model my graphics card is?
[16:03] <n8tuser> baytes -> oh no, am not much of a windows user, so my comment about comparing a fresh install and detecting nic cards is just for comparison,
[16:03] <nesoi> Weejee, it shows eth1 and eth1:avahi
[16:04] <roger_> dabd, why that old of an apache
[16:04] <Weejee> n8tuser, try lspci
[16:04] <baytes> n8tuser: lol sorry, trolling seen the beta comment, my mistake
[16:04] <AJC_Z0> What's the package name for the GTK+ 2.x smooth *engine*? I can't find it using the Symantic package manager
[16:04] <nesoi> Weejee, and lo
[16:04] <n8tuser> Weejee -> i know my way around linux, im just commenting of my experience with trying out 7
[16:04] <Owner> ActionParsnip1: should the nameserver be set to the computer's ip that is sharing the connection, or to something else?
[16:05] <dabd> roger_: because I have to work with an old web application that only works with apache 1.3
[16:05] <ActionParsnip1> Owner: i'd use the ones that the connection sharing one has
[16:05] <ActionParsnip1> Owner: or 3rd party web based ones like <IP_ADDRESS>
[16:05] <weswh-> Are there any officially maintained VMs of 8.10? Rather than download the ISO, install it to a Virtual Machine etc...anything 'ready to go' with a standard install?
[16:06] <KrimZon> Zach_Beauvais: something like "lspci | grep VGA" in a terminal
[16:06] <n8tuser> Zach_Beauvais -> try   sudo lshw -C video
[16:06] <Weejee> nesoi, Most intel network controllers should be supported, so I think it is eth0. *:avahi are only for the avahi daemon and don't really do anything that could break the network
[16:06] <nesoi> there are two network icons in my system tray, one has a red minus sign. when I click on that after selecting eth1:avahi it says "could not find information in interface eth1:avahi in /proc/net/dev"
[16:06] <roger_> dabd, have you looked at apache website for an older version
[16:06] <Owner> ActionParsnip1: yeah, well that is already how it is set...hmmmm....
[16:06] <Zach_Beauvais> command not found...
[16:06] <RegressLess> n8tuser: with cron, can I use my mp3 as alarm sound as well as set up several per day with different titles, or should I try the other you mentioned? Sorry, I've wasted a lot of time so far and I'm trying to prevent any more.
[16:06] <archman_> what? kiso needs pidgin-data to install? what's the point??? what the heck?
[16:06] <dabd> roger_: I'm looking at it now but I thought going the easy way first
[16:06] <nesoi> the eth0 showed a sigsomething error but I can't get that back
[16:06] <roger_> dabd, you could find an older apache at lamp or xampp possible
[16:06] <nesoi> Weejee, did you see that?
[16:06] <nesoi> or anyone else?
