[12:00] <Siph0n> i get a msg saying fsck.ext3: bad magic number in superblock while trying to reopen /
[12:00] <Siph0n> then an e2fsck: iomanager magic bad!
[12:00] <rynofly> well i've tried 2 cds so far, i'll try another 1 ...or few
[12:00] <Comrade_Vladimir> uh _jason wanna go to ur channel so i can paste to u what happened
[12:00] <LjL> Siph0n: that's not good
[12:01] <nalioth> rynofly: verify the cd so you can be sure it is not the media
[12:01] <_jason> Comrade_Vladimir, paste in #flood
[12:01] <ubuntu_noob> -f install gave me the same error i got in package manager, i'll try sudo apt-get update and the other suggestion.
[12:01] <Siph0n> LjL: k, ne ideas how to fix?
[12:01] <rynofly> how do i verify?
[12:01] <rynofly> from the cd
[12:02] <LjL> Siph0n: no, i think you have a bad problem with your filesystem, and i'm not competent enough to try a solution.
[12:02] <xxvii> i got a directory on my desktop, it's locked, says i don't have permission to delete it.. it got there during a crapy installation of java
[12:02] <xxvii> anyone help?
[12:02] <Comrade_Vladimir> _ go there then plaese
[12:02] <Siph0n> xxvii : try sudo rm -R
[12:02] <Siph0n> ?
[12:02] <Comrade_Vladimir> _jason
[12:03] <xxvii> Siph0n, what's the -R ?
[12:03] <_jason> Comrade_Vladimir, i am in #flood
[12:03] <Siph0n> xxvii: i think it does directorys or sometin
[12:03] <Siph0n> im a newbie, but i remember usin that before i think :)
[12:03] <xxvii> Siph0n, nah, rmdir is for directories
[12:03] <LjL> it deletes files recursively
[12:03] <Siph0n> well did u even try my idea xxvii?
[12:03] <nalioth> ubuntu_noob: we'll get you fixed up
[12:03] <Agrajag> it's not -R, it's -r
[12:04] <xxvii> i'll try
[12:04] <LjL> xxvii: do try what he said; if it doesn't work, i think you just don't have the right permissions
[12:04] <LjL> Agrajag: it's both, "man rm"
[12:04] <Agrajag> oh, I guess it doesn't matter
[12:04] <Siph0n> anyone know how to fix filesystems? or is it most likely i gotta reformar?
[12:04] <ubuntu_noob> nalioth: heh.  thanks.  *watches archives dl*
[12:05] <xxvii> LjL, Siph0n, thank you guys! it worked.. i been stumped all day because of that damn directory
[12:05] <hyphenated> Siph0n: umount /mountpoint && fsck /mountpoint
[12:05] <xxvii> thanks guys
[12:05] <LjL> Agrajag: i don't know if either syntax is deprecated, other commands like "grep" or "cp" also have both -R and -r as synonyms
[12:05] <hyphenated> Siph0n: it's the root filesystem, boot up with a live cd
[12:06] <varsendagger> hey i want to install something that depends on QT 3 what do i need to install?
[12:06] <dooglus> nalioth: I've booted to the live CD.  I don't see 'qtparted', but then again, I'm not running KDE.  It's a ubuntu disk, not a kubuntu disk.  Will 'parted' work?
[12:06] <Siph0n> so i first boot up with a live cd, then just type in 'umount /mountpoint' and 'fsck /mountpoint' ?
[12:06] <Pugh> ok I installed w32codecs but when I try streaming video with mplayer they still wont play, I have to open mplayer and load the file from my tmp directory
[12:06] <Siph0n> im a little new :)
[12:06] <nalioth> dooglus: use synaptic to install it
[12:06] <LjL> nalioth: can synaptic install stuff when on the live cd?
[12:07] <nalioth> LjL: it can, yes
[12:07] <Pugh> any clue on how to get my mozilla plugin to work right
[12:07] <dooglus> nalioth: won't that need to install megs of QT and KDE stuff?
[12:07] <LjL> nalioth: cool, on a ram disk i assume?
[12:07] <ompaul> Siph0n, why do you think that the filesystems are "broken"?
[12:07] <dooglus> LjL: it can.  but it's very slow for me, so I use apt-get instead
[12:07] <xxvii> how to install a .tra.bz2 file?
[12:07] <xxvii> .tar.bz2  sorry
[12:08] <LjL> xxvii: a tar.bz2 is just an archive, like a .zip file
[12:08] <agnul> extract the file, install
[12:08] <Siph0n> ompaul: thats what someone just told me?
[12:08] <dooglus> xxvii: "tar xf <tarfile>"
[12:08] <xxvii> ok, thanks
[12:08] <LjL> xxvii: tar jxf file.tar.bz2
[12:08] <dooglus> LjL: you don't need the 'j' bit
[12:08] <AnonymousHive> <3 Ubuntu
[12:08] <nalioth> dooglus: it will not
[12:08] <nalioth> LjL: correct, on the ramdisk
[12:08] <Siph0n> ompaul: when i boot up it fails to mount the filesystem it says, and when i shutdown it also says umount filesystem
[12:08] <Pugh> no one else having any probs with mozilla-plugin?
[12:08] <dooglus> nalioth: what's the package called, and what repo. is it in?
[12:09] <nalioth> dooglus: it's called "qtparted"
[12:09] <LjL> universe
[12:09] <nalioth> and it should be immediately available in synaptic or apt-get
[12:09] <Stormx2> "public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 49A120FD1135D466
[12:09] <Stormx2> " <-- What should I do/
[12:09] <nalioth> LjL: really?
[12:09] <nalioth> my bad
[12:09] <dooglus> nalioth: in universe?
[12:09] <LjL> nalioth: yep
[12:09] <nalioth> ubuntu_noob: tell Stormx2 about gpgerr
[12:09] <Stormx2> oops that wasn't meant to linebreak >.>
[12:09] <dooglus> nalioth: that'll be why I can'tfind it then.
[12:09] <LjL> nalioth: parted itself is in main of course
[12:10] <nalioth> dooglus: enable universe and multiverse, reload your apt-get and get qtparted
[12:10] <dooglus> is qtparted a KDE app?
[12:10] <LjL> nalioth: gparted is also in main
[12:10] <LjL> dooglus: yes
[12:10] <locomorto> Any suggestions for a music tagger?
[12:10] <skapple> can someone please tell me how to enable repositories?
[12:10] <locomorto> !tell skapple about repos
[12:10] <LjL> dooglus: well actually, no
[12:10] <dooglus> is there anyreason to prefer qtparted to parted or gparted?
[12:11] <LjL> dooglus: it's just a QT app, it has a KDE dependency but it's "fake"
[12:11] <nalioth> dooglus: qt is a widget library that kde uses, like gtk is a widget library that gnome uses
[12:11] <Stormx2> nalioth: What do I replace *release* with in /var/lib/apt/lists/*Release*
[12:11] <LjL> dooglus: parted is a little hard to use, being a command line tool... qtparted and gparted are both frontends
[12:11] <nalioth> Stormx2: read what ubotu instructed pleaee
[12:11] <dooglus> LjL: i see.  so gparted would be the more 'ubuntu' way to do it?
[12:11] <Stormx2> nalioth: I just did.
[12:11] <ubuntu_noob> hmm.  well, i did the sudo apt-get -f install and sudo apt-get update and sudo aptitude dist-upgrade and those broke on the same file.  they always break on wvdial.  is there a good way to just remove and reinstall that one package?
[12:12] <nalioth> dooglus: no. gparted doesnt use ntfsprogs, but qtparted does
[12:12] <Stormx2> nalioth: It said to do "sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*Release*", but what do I replace *Release* with?
[12:12] <looksaus> I want to scale a pdf or ps with two a4 pages to one a3 ps with the same two a4 pages on it
[12:12] <Stormx2> nalioth: Wait... lol
[12:12] <LjL> dooglus: as opposed to the "kubuntu" way, yeah, suppose so. never used gparted though, and rarely used qtparted. if nalioth is familiar with qtparted, i suggest you just use that one, right now.
[12:12] <looksaus> I've been fiddling with pdfnup, psresize, psnup,... but the result just isn't right
[12:12] <shadeofgrey> whats a good prog to use for dvd watching if totem isnt an option?
[12:12] <skapple> can someone tell me how to enable repositories?
[12:12] <looksaus> any suggestions?
[12:12] <Stormx2> shadeofgrey: VLC?
[12:12] <dooglus> LjL: it's installing.  slowly...
[12:12] <nalioth> Stormx2: just copy and paste what it told you
[12:12] <shadeofgrey> storm:  the interface sucks tho
[12:13] <amonroy> is there a way to tell apt-get to download the unmet dependencies? I tried apt-get install apache2, and I get the following unmet dependencies: apache2-mpm-worker, apache2-mpm-prefork and apache2-mpm-prechild. Fine, but now I found that apache2-mpm-prefork has other unmet dependencies. Is there a way apt-get would just get all the dependencies automatically?
[12:13] <LjL> !tell skapple about repos
[12:13] <dooglus> "Setting up libqt3-mt..." (has been for a minute or two)
[12:13] <LjL> amonroy: i don't think there is a way
[12:13] <shadeofgrey> okay if totem-xine doesnt want to work and libdvdcss2 dorsnt want to work, what are my options?
[12:13] <shadeofgrey> gstreamer?
[12:13] <Elsan> HELP!! Firefox won't start since I installed mozilla-plugin-vlc and Sun Java: INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Could not get the plugin manager
[12:13] <Elsan> System error?:: Succs
[12:14] <LjL> amonroy: but it's not right that apache2 is giving you unmet deps, anyway
[12:14] <LjL> amonroy: it definitely shouldn't
[12:14] <Stormx2> nalioth: It didn't fix the error.....
[12:14] <amonroy> LjL, weird, I just installed the OS from scratch
[12:14] <nalioth> Stormx2: do it again and go have a coffee or watch some tv
[12:14] <slide> How would i start a 'second X server' ? Im trying to play quake3 and first off, if i quit quake my resolution doesnt change back to what i had, so i searched google and somone suggested running it in a second X like this 'X :1 -ac & ( DISPLAY=:1 quake3 )' which sounds great, but just running that doesnt work
[12:14] <nalioth> Stormx2: iow, give it a at least 10 minutes
[12:14] <amonroy> well, before that I got the repository list form ubuntuguide.org
[12:14] <rynofly> to all :)  -im trying my 3rd cd now...at the first prompt i typed "expert" and i am checking the integrity of the disk. the disks have no scratches on them so it hink it will be ok..but i have a feeling that its still not going to work
[12:15] <slide> do i need to sudo that?
[12:15] <amonroy> do you think that's where I screw it LjL?
[12:15] <LjL> amonroy: it's working without any deps problems for me. try "sudo apt-get -f install", then "sudo apt-get update", then "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[12:15] <skapple> what is the latest version of ubuntu?
[12:15] <Stormx2> nalioth: But, it did it in about 5 seconds?
[12:15] <trkorecky> 5.10
[12:15] <nalioth> amonroy: stop where you are .
[12:15] <Stormx2> skapple: (breezy)
[12:15] <skapple> is it better that hoary?
[12:15] <amonroy> ok, stopping nalioth :)
[12:15] <nalioth> ubotu: tell amonroy about sources
[12:15] <Comrade_Vladimir> it wont download again
[12:16] <LjL> nalioth: the whole apache2 stuff is in main, as far as i can see
[12:16] <blanky> you guys like gdm or kdm
[12:16] <dooglus> nalioth: qtparted is running. what do I do?
[12:16] <Stormx2> skapple: Yes.
[12:16] <nalioth> amonroy: get rid of the sources.list you got from ubuntuguide and use the one for your system (and hope you haven't botched up anything important)
[12:16] <nalioth> dooglus: resize what yo uwant to resize
[12:16] <LjL> nalioth: oh, i see
[12:16] <kreatine> how can i get apt-get to give me a list of say packages with a*
[12:16] <kreatine> ?
[12:16] <amonroy> ok, thanks for pointing that out nalioth, wil do now
[12:16] <nalioth> ubotu: tell amonroy about ubuntuguide
[12:16] <LjL> kreatine: of *installed* packages or *available* packages? and you mean packages starting with "a", anyway?
[12:17] <kreatine> available
[12:17] <LjL> kreatine: apt-cache search a | grep "^a"
[12:17] <trkorecky> Stormx2: How much better is 5.10?  I'm running 5.04 on my old computer, and it seems to run decent.  50,000x better than RH9 or FC4.
[12:17] <kreatine> oki, thanks
[12:17] <Stormx2> trkorecky: Never used 5.04
[12:17] <Stormx2> trkorecky: You can just run updates, mind ;-)
[12:17] <blanky> guys, what do you prefer, gdm or kdm
[12:17] <nalioth> trkorecky: if you are happy with hoary, stay with it
[12:18] <nalioth> blanky: gdm is fine
[12:18] <LjL> blanky: gdm, even though i'm using kdm as i'm using kde
[12:18] <blanky> nalioth and LjL: thanks
[12:18] <trkorecky> Stormx2: Will the update change everything?  I just ran it not too long ago (45 minutes max) and it didn't have a new kernel listed...
[12:18] <amonroy> should I reinstall from scrach nalioth? after getting the source list from ubuntuguide I tied apt-get upgrade
[12:18] <blanky> I just got back from school, left this pc on since yesterday night and it's not laggy at all, I just gotta love linux
[12:18] <amonroy> did I screw my system?
[12:18] <blanky> well, did you use a condom?
[12:19] <amonroy> :)
[12:19] <nalioth> amonroy: what did you upgrade from?
[12:19] <amonroy> I just did sudo apt-get update
[12:19] <purplefeltangel> can someone tell me how to get rid of the thing at the bottom of Evolution that displays the message just when you click on it?
[12:20] <trkorecky> I put my Ubuntu (5.04) computer into "Hibernate" mode, but it didn't wake up.  I had to do a hard shutdown.  How can I fix this?
[12:20] <kreatine> do a hard bootup :)
[12:20] <nalioth> trkorecky: you can't. it's a bug
[12:20] <LjL> trkorecky: hibernation is tricky, works randormly for me (sometimes does, sometimes doesn't)
[12:20] <ubuntu_noob> should i remove ubuntu-desktop completely and then try to reinstall it with apt?
[12:20] <rynofly> LgL: i used the check the integrity of cd option on the install menue of the cd and it says that something callec pcutils (bunch of numbers) failed the md5 checksum thiner
[12:21] <shadeofgrey> what do i need to play DVD's in gzine?
[12:21] <nalioth> ubuntu_noob: in a console, "
[12:21] <rynofly> Im checking my other cds
[12:21] <shadeofgrey> gxine rather
[12:21] <nalioth> ubuntu_noob: in a console, "apt-get -f dist-upgrade"
[12:21] <dooglus> nalioth: qtparted gave me an amusing error message.
[12:21] <varsendagger> nalioth, why is checkinstall a good thing to do?
[12:21] <amonroy> nalioth: I did apt-get update and also apt-get upgrade, but I think both failed
[12:21] <dooglus> nalioth: "Filesystem check failed!  Totally 1 cluster accounting mismatches."
[12:22] <dooglus> nalioth: was it written by a surfer dude?
[12:22] <ubuntu_noob> nalioth: aye, i did that, i'll try again though, just to make sure, and come back with the results.  :)
[12:22] <nalioth> dooglus: the next thing to do is "man ntfsresize" and see how to go about it
[12:22] <LjL> varsendagger: cause it lets you uninstall things as well
[12:22] <nalioth> ubuntu_noob: did you use the -f when you dist-upgraded?
[12:22] <LjL> varsendagger: and, more generally, the APT system will know about your self-compiled program, which is good
[12:22] <nalioth> ubotu: tell varsendagger about checkinstall
[12:23] <dooglus> nalioth: I think qtparted is telling me there's an error on the NTFS partition.  Should I perhaps use Windows to fix that first?
[12:24] <kreatine> does anyone know offhand what was the location for the samba config file?
[12:24] <purplefeltangel> can someone tell me how to get rid of the thing at the bottom of Evolution that displays the message just when you click on it?
[12:24] <ubuntu_noob> nalioth: yep yep.  typed it in just like you did.  it breaks on unpacking wvdial...  it doesn't seem to be downloading a new version, or removing the old one.
[12:24] <Stormx2> dooglus: try to cfdisk and re-write the table
[12:24] <nalioth> dooglus: yes, run ckdisk or scandisk or whatever it's called nowadays
[12:24] <dooglus> Stormx2: "cfdisk"?  is that a Windows or Linux command?
[12:25] <nalioth> ubuntu_noob: can you use a terminal well?
[12:25] <Stormx2> linux
[12:25] <amonroy> even after getting the official source list, I do apt-get install apache2 and I still get the same unmet dependencies: apache2-mpm-worker, apache2-mpm-prefork and apache2-mpm-prechild. Weird.
[12:25] <ubuntu_noob> nalioth: i think i can.  *grin*
[12:26] <trkorecky> Is there a default password for root?  I don't remember inputting one when I installed Ubuntu about an hour ago...?
[12:26] <se7en> can someone help me with nicotine? i cannot getit to connect.
[12:26] <dooglus> I notice that I have 8Mb of unallocated space on this disk.  Can I use it for a Linux partition?  It's annoying setting up ndiswrapper, wpasupplicant, WPA key, etc, etc each time I boot!
[12:26] <Stormx2> dooglus: run cfdisk /dev/hd* <replace * with the drive letter> Once in, do nothing but the "write" command
[12:26] <nalioth> ubuntu_noob: if you type "sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop" you may get what you seek, but you may also lose your gnome while it's working
[12:27] <nalioth> amonroy: type "sudo apt-get -f install"
[12:27] <Stormx2> dooglus: You can resize the partitions in parted
[12:27] <bimberi> ubotu tell trkorecky about root
[12:27] <foomanchew> anyone use Cacti here
[12:27] <amonroy> nalioth: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[12:27] <nalioth> Stormx2: not an ntfs partition
[12:27] <amonroy> I guess that's good nalioth :)
[12:28] <ubuntu_noob> nalioth: ah.  i see.  but, uh, we can get that pretty gui back right?  *hopeful smile*
[12:28] <nalioth> amonroy: ubuntu_noob yes, when the process is finished
[12:28] <dreaddolo> hi
[12:28] <nalioth> amonroy: are you any good with a terminal only?
[12:28] <fdr> hi... I need to write a LaTeX document and I'd like to find a text editor for gnome that is a bit more powerful than gedit... have you got any suggestions please?
[12:28] <ubuntu_noob> heh.  cool.  *breaks stuff*
[12:28] <purplefeltangel> can someone tell me how to get rid of the thing at the bottom of Evolution that displays the message just when you click on it?
[12:29] <Stormx2> nalioth: Good point.
[12:29] <dreaddolo> i need help to install ubuntu
[12:29] <amonroy> nalioth: I think I could be better, but I like the terminal only
[12:29] <purplefeltangel> dreaddolo whats the problem?
[12:30] <bimberi> purplefeltangel: View -> Message Preview ???
[12:30] <nalioth> amonroy: good. try "sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop" using your new sources.list (you may lose gnome during this, which is why i asked about your terminal skills)
[12:30] <trkorecky> So hibernation is a hit-and-miss situation?
[12:30] <purplefeltangel> bimberi: ah! thanks :D
[12:30] <x_or> Can anyone help me troubleshoot and figure out why firefox is not working, but on the same machine konqueror works fine?  I cannot see anything in /etc/resolv.conf that looks weird.  I don't have a proxy set.
[12:30] <nalioth> trkorecky: yes it is
[12:30] <bimberi> purplefeltangel: yw :)
[12:30] <dreaddolo> purplefeltangel... query?
[12:31] <trkorecky> nalioth: Do they plan to fix this anytime soon?
[12:31] <amonroy> nalioth: I go this: Reinstallation of ubuntu-desktop is not possible, it cannot be downloaded.
[12:31] <Absenth> is totem unable to play streaming audio?  (even after adding the various codecs and non-free format stuff)
[12:31] <Anon|Away> Absenth:
[12:31] <Anon|Away> Oops
[12:31] <dreaddolo> :(
[12:32] <amonroy> nalioth: all I want is to run apache, php, and drupal :-/
[12:32] <nalioth> trkorecky: my hibernation and suspend work well in breezy
[12:32] <Anon|Away> Absenth: Plays it for me. I just use "Open Location"
[12:32] <amonroy> I guess it was a big mistake to follow ubuntuguide instructions
[12:32] <nalioth> amonroy: as long as you have those non ubuntu packages installed, you will have lots of problems
[12:32] <Anon|Away> It won't open it by clicking on the URL, but if you copy the URL and paste it in the "Open Location" dialogue in the gui, it works for me
[12:32] <Absenth> Anon|Away,  I'm attempting to listen to a local radio station via the web.  I'm not sure I know what the address I need to connect to is.
[12:32] <Anon|Away> Oh.
[12:32] <dreaddolo> i have problem with hd sata
[12:32] <amonroy> nalioth: would you say it's easier to install again? (I can do that if needed and if it's faster()
[12:33] <nalioth> amonroy: if you have no data to lose, go ahead. just dont visit the ubuntuguide this time, come here instead
[12:33] <amonroy> I learned my lesson now nalioth :-)
[12:34] <dooglus> Stormx2: "cfdisk" looks like it fixed partition tables.  The error I saw was that the filesystem was corrupted, not the partition table.  Are you sure I want to run "cfdisk"?
[12:34] <dreaddolo> ufff
[12:35] <dooglus> Stormx2: here's the error: http://s89213869.onlinehome.us/qtparted.png
[12:35] <dreaddolo> i don't speak good english... someone can help me in pvt?
[12:35] <Epic|> command for uptime and system load and whatnot?
[12:35] <dooglus> dreaddolo: what you speak? spanish?
[12:36] <dreaddolo> dooglus
[12:36] <dreaddolo> italian

[12:36] <dreaddolo> argh
[12:36] <dreaddolo> thanks!
[12:36] <dreaddolo> ^_^
[12:36] <dooglus> :)
[12:38] <dreaddolo> ufff
[12:38] <se7en> how do i enable rhythymbox to play mp3s?
[12:38] <dreaddolo> on #ubuntu-it
[12:38] <dreaddolo> all the users
[12:39] <dreaddolo> are sleeping
[12:39] <dreaddolo> -.-'
[12:39] <bimberi> ubotu tell se7en about mp3
[12:39] <dooglus> yes, I noticed that.
[12:39] <dooglus> so what's the problem?
[12:39] <dreaddolo> damn
[12:39] <ubuntu_noob> nalioth: well, i tried the command (sudo apt-get [...etc ]  ) and i got the same result.  the archive was bad, and apt seemed to break just reading it for removal.  *shrug*  i did fix it, but what i did was manually copy the broken package from the cd again.  that did the trick, it seems.  thanks for your help though.
[12:40] <LasseL> what is the best way to upgrade from an ati to a nvidia gfx card? will X hang when I try to boot with my new card in and I run the naitive drivers or will it fall back to mesa?
[12:40] <dreaddolo> dooglus... i try to install ubuntu 5.04
[12:40] <xxvii> hey, anyone familiar with bittorrent? i can't seem to get my downloads to start
[12:41] <MagicFab> LasseL: You can try using the generic vesa driver in-between
[12:41] <nalioth> ubuntu_noob: we must do what we must do
[12:41] <dooglus> dreaddolo: why 5.04?  5.04 is 7 months old.  5.10 is new.
[12:41] <andril> hello all - again
[12:41] <MagicFab> LasseL: d'u know how to change it in the xorg.conf file ?
[12:41] <dreaddolo> but i can't because the install don't see my sata.......
[12:41] <dreaddolo> ...hd
[12:41] <LasseL> MagicFab, just change driver from ati to vesa?
[12:41] <andril> does anyone know how to check the local ip of my Ubuntu PC?
[12:41] <dooglus> andril: ifconfig
[12:42] <dooglus> dreaddolo: ok
[12:42] <ubuntu_noob> andril: in a terminal type ifconfig
[12:42] <MagicFab> LasseL: yes. Reboot, check it's OK. Turn off, swithc cards, check it's ok. Only then install the nvidia stuff
[12:42] <Comrade_Vladimir> aughhh hahah im back!!!
[12:42] <andril> dooglus: thanks
[12:42] <andril> ubuntu_noob: thanks
[12:43] <MagicFab> LasseL: always backup your original /etc/X11/xorg.conf , eh :)
[12:43] <Pablo> can someone please tell me what to use as a tftp server in ubuntu
[12:43] <dreaddolo> O_o
[12:43] <LasseL> MagicFab, yeah, I think I'll just slap in the card and see if it does the fallback, if not I still have vi and a prompt
[12:44] <MagicFab> Pablo: check synaptic, there's a very simple/generic one
[12:44] <MagicFab> LasseL: CTRL-ALT-F1 is your friend
[12:44] <Pablo> ok
[12:44] <dreaddolo> dooglus...can you help me?
[12:44] <LasseL> indeed
[12:44] <andril> dooglus: which sould i use for static ip?
[12:44] <LasseL> MagicFab, thanks
[12:45] <MagicFab> np
[12:45] <CookedGryphon> help, when connecting to a network drive, how do i set the domain?
[12:45] <LasseL> !backports
[12:45] <ubotu> Add "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-backports main universe multiverse restricted" to /etc/apt/sources.list.  More info @ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports.
[12:45] <MagicFab> Pablo: the package is... tftpd !
[12:45] <andril> ubuntu_noob: which is the Subnet & Gateway?
[12:46] <MagicFab> CookedGryphon: which version ? 5.10 ? if so, in the menu Places > Connect to server > Windows Share you should have a field for the domaine
[12:46] <MagicFab> (domain)
[12:47] <mac0sxus3r12> guys could someone tell what's up with my synaptic?
[12:47] <ubuntu_noob> andril:  hmm. there's another way to look at your information, graphically.
[12:47] <CookedGryphon> MagicFab I do that and then when i restart the field is reset, when i set it it works for that session, but its a bit of a faff
[12:47] <ubuntu_noob> andril: if you want to try that way
[12:47] <mac0sxus3r12> when I try to install something it says that it needs to remove the rest of my apps! :)
[12:47] <CookedGryphon> MagicFab: is there any way to set it from the command prompt so i can automount it at boot?
[12:47] <ubuntu_noob> andril:  system>admin>networking
[12:48] <CookedGryphon> when the domain is set i can mount the drive from the command line
[12:48] <MagicFab> CookedGryphon: search synaptic for "smb"... let me see
[12:48] <Sanne> oh
[12:49] <CookedGryphon> MagicFab: i have smbfs n everything installed, i can mount the drive, i just need to set the domain, but it resets to a blank field every time i restart the computer so i have to set it again, then it works
[12:49] <MagicFab> CookedGryphon: there's a CLI for samba, smbclient is the package
[12:49] <CookedGryphon> Magicfab, i use that, just can't set the domain
[12:49] <MagicFab> CookedGryphon: can't help much more
[12:50] <CookedGryphon> actually i use smbmount, but its the same thing int it?
[12:50] <dooglus> andril: use the system->admin->network program to ask for a static ip.
[12:50] <andril> ubuntu_noob: thanks much
[12:50] <dooglus> dreaddolo: I don't understand.  5.04 doesn't like your SATA hd?  maybe 5.10 will like it.
[12:50] <dooglus> I'm rebooting to Windows...  back soon.
[12:50] <swim> anyone know if there is anything I can use to extract swf files?
[12:51] <dreaddolo> dooglus...i don't try with 5.10
[12:51] <mac0sxus3r12> anyone good with synaptic?
[12:51] <dreaddolo> O_o
[12:51] <dreaddolo> my english is very bad
[12:51] <dreaddolo> sorry
[12:52] <MagicFab> mac0sxus3r12: what r u trying to install ?
[12:52] <mac0sxus3r12> when I try to install vlc it says that it needs to remove the rest of my apps!
[12:52] <mac0sxus3r12> I wonder why?
[12:52] <MagicFab> CookedGryphon: check Google for ubuntu+samba+automount
[12:53] <mac0sxus3r12> MagicFab: any ideas?
[12:53] <nalioth> mac0sxus3r12: are you using ONLY official ubuntu repositories and pkgs?
[12:53] <MagicFab> mac0sxus3r12: what is "the rest of my apps" ? how many ?
[12:53] <mac0sxus3r12> MagicFab: alot! apt, gcc, gcc-base, etc..
[12:54] <mac0sxus3r12> MagicFab: I am using only official repos.
[12:54] <MagicFab> mac0sxus3r12: that's usually because you're installing a version whose dependencies conflict with the ones from an "official" version.
[12:54] <MagicFab> can you paste your /etc/apt/sources.lst to pastebin ?
[12:54] <nalioth> mac0sxus3r12: how are you trying to install it?
[12:55] <mac0sxus3r12> nalioth: i searched for it in synaptic
[12:55] <mac0sxus3r12> nalioth: and then checked it to be installed
[12:55] <jabbahut> fellas.... I changed my sources.list from HOARY to BREEZY... did update then upgrade... I know this dosen't change me to BREEZY... but does it upgrade my apps to BREEZY level?
[12:55] <mac0sxus3r12> MagicFab: sorry I am not in ubuntu now
[12:56] <mac0sxus3r12> I'll be back. thanks for help nalioth, MagicFab:
[12:57] <MagicFab> jabbahut: did u follow https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade ?
[12:59] <jabbahut> MagicFab: I'm not trying to upgrade to BREEZY... Just trying to get apps upgrade...
[12:59] <epistax> Hey there, after installing GCC and libc through the synaptic package manager, gcc cannot find any header files (stdio, etc).  What gives?
[12:59] <xxiii> hey i need help with synaptic
[01:00] <Marlun> If I want for example the latest version of xchat, theres no way to get it through package manager?
[01:00] <nthwaver> O experienced ones, does Apache need root access to run?  I'm trying to learn to install it, but keep getting "permission denied" errors
[01:00] <ispiked> how can I make it so when I double click a song to open it in xmms, it enqueues it instead of deleting my playlist? :(
[01:00] <MagicFab> nthwaver: at least for setup and initial config, I'd say yes
[01:01] <nthwaver> ok, thanks.  I worried I lost the root password until I found it's disabled by default
[01:01] <nthwaver> I will go and set that up.  much appreciation.
[01:02] <epl> ispiked: change the command being run from "xmms" to "xmms -e"
[01:03] <ispiked> epl: it just lists the programs, not the commands.
[01:03] <MagicFab> epl: I worship u
[01:03] <epl> ispiked: wait a min, i'll try to describe it a bit better :)
[01:03] <ispiked> epl: I know I can add a new command and all...
[01:04] <ispiked> epl: isn't there a place (file) I could edit to make it just use "xmms -e"?
[01:04] <ispiked> because I want to do it for all music files.
[01:04] <epistax> Where are the C headers normally kept?
[01:04] <j3di`> does remote desktop run on a specific port? can i set this?
[01:05] <MagicFab> epistax: what r u trying to do ?
[01:05] <nalioth> j3di`: 5900 is the default and yes you can set it to whatever you like
[01:05] <epistax> magicFab: compile a basic hello world.  I have the gcc and libc packages installed but it cannot find the headers.  I don't know if there's a 3rd package I need for the basic headers.
[01:06] <MagicFab> j3di`: the port is 5900 I believe
[01:06] <bimberi> epistax: install "build-essential"
[01:06] <Llewxam> i need some help with ndiswrapper
[01:07] <slide> wtf, when i run quake3 and connect to a ra3 server i get this, Version mismatch C-999.-999-999/S1.76
[01:07] <epistax> bimberi: thanks
[01:07] <bimberi> epistax: np :)
[01:07] <j3di`> can i customize how remote desktop works
[01:07] <Llewxam> out of the blue it stopped recognizing the wireless card
[01:07] <j3di`> i want it to NOT pipe the background to the remote desktop client
[01:08] <epl> ispiked: well, I'm not so good with nautilus but when you are in the properties dialog for a mp3 file, you can click on add in the "open with" tab. in the dialog window that opens you can open "use a custom command" and just type in any command you want, ie "xmms -e". that should change it for all .mp3 files
[01:08] <MagicFab> j3di`: somewhere in this thread they mention a way to change the default port: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=26815
[01:08] <epl> ispiked: you will have to do the same for all other media filetypes that you want opened in xmms i guess
[01:08] <ispiked> epl: yeah, I was thinking if I could edit the file...
[01:09] <DjKritical> Does anyone know what the executable path to eggdrop is by default when installed by repository?
[01:09] <epl> ispiked: I guess you could, I have no idea where though
[01:09] <MagicFab> DjKritical: use "which eggdrop" from command line
[01:09] <epistax> bimberi: erm that didn't seem to work, I still get such insightful messages as "stdio: No such file or directory"
[01:10] <DjKritical> MagicFab, Thanks!
[01:10] <j3di`> what remote desktop server is running?
[01:10] <j3di`> by default
[01:12] <bimberi> epistax: hm, is libc6-dev installed?
[01:13] <epistax> bimberi: yep
[01:13] <brownie17> can anyone tell my what the use of the "login photo" option is in System --> Preferences?
[01:13] <navarone> DjKritical > if I cannot find a executable after instaling I load synaptic click the status button on bottom left and click installed...this will list all installed progs...find the one you want and look at properties and "files installed". Should point you in the right place
[01:13] <epistax> bimberi: /usr/include seems just fine..
[01:14] <brownie17> i thought the next version of ubuntu was going to be called grazing guppy or something, not dapper drake!?
[01:14] <bimberi> epistax: ...and has stdio.h ?
[01:14] <navarone> guppies graze?
[01:14] <epistax> bimberi: yep
[01:14] <n0dl>   Does anyone know a good web based email that doesnt rely on javascript?
[01:14] <n0dl> one that works on the links text based browser?
[01:15] <bimberi> epistax: then i'm struggling to know what the problem is :/
[01:15] <MagicFab> n0dl: have u tried squirrel ? just hinting.
[01:16] <n0dl> MagicFab: Is squirrel a web based email or a browser?
[01:16] <DjKritical> navarone, thankyou, that's some good advice =)
[01:16] <epistax> bimberi: uhg ok I just figure it out.  It's what I just happened to test.  <stdio> and <iostream.h>.  <stdio> is wrong because apparently I need the extension.  Thought they did away with that.
[01:16] <epistax> bimberi: and iostream.h just doesn't exist :P
[01:17] <navarone> desperate times call for desperate measures Dj...that and whatever wotrks
[01:17] <amonroy> can I install/uninstall packages using apt-get just like using Synaptic?
[01:17] <MagicFab> n0dl: webbased email
[01:17] <MagicFab> amonroy: yes
[01:17] <amonroy> I am trying to figure out if I can live without GUI
[01:18] <MagicFab> amonroy: oh oh, yes you can... :)
[01:18] <n0dl> MagicFab: it says here that you have to download sometrhing? or are you takling about the virtual log in thingie?
[01:18] <CarlFK> what is the difference between python2.4-subversion and python2.4-svn  ?
[01:19] <n0dl> MagicFab: sorry to ask but how exactily do i use this?
[01:19] <amonroy> cool MagicFab
[01:19] <bimberi> epistax: aha, a contents search on http://packages.ubuntu.com might help you install missing includes :)
[01:20] <n0dl> Magic: the website and its documentation is kinda all over the palce
[01:20] <_jason> amonroy, do you use lynx?
[01:20] <nthwaver> back again.  I'm still confused about apache - does the version in Synaptic have a GUI?  Would I need to download one seperately if I want one?
[01:20] <amonroy> _jason: yes, but actually the ubuntu machine will be used mostly as a drupal site
[01:20] <brownie17> navarone, i wasn't sure about the grazing part. but do badgers breeze?
[01:21] <MagicFab> n0dl: you can always use "man" from command line to see info on any command
[01:21] <MagicFab> n0dl: I found this on google about apt-get : http://www.psychocats.net/linux/installingsoftware.php
[01:21] <_jason> amonroy, maybe you can help me... I am a newbie with lynx.  When I go to http://www.google.com I get a "malformed request" error.  Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?
[01:21] <sethk> _jason, neither
[01:21] <MagicFab> I wanted to share this free online magazine I found about - very easy read, although not very "pro-free"
[01:21] <MagicFab> http://www.tuxmagazine.com/
[01:22] <_jason> sethk, so it happens to everyone and there is nothing I can do?
[01:22] <amonroy> try wget http://www.google.com and see if you get the same
[01:22] <pld3> hey
[01:22] <MagicFab> It's 100% electronic
[01:22] <navarone> brownie17>possibly after eating baked beans
[01:22] <epl> ispiked: look in $HOME/.local/share/applications/
[01:22] <pld3> how do i burn isos in k3b?
[01:22] <n0dl> wait squirrel mail comes with ubuntU?
[01:22] <Toma-> !wireless
[01:22] <ubotu> extra, extra, read all about it, wireless is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCards
[01:22] <apokryphos> pld3: Tools menu
[01:22] <j3di`> how can you tell what ubuntu version you have?
[01:23] <apokryphos> j3di`: cat /etc/issue
[01:23] <_jason> amonroy, downloads fine with wget
[01:23] <MagicFab> n0dl: yes, there's a package
[01:23] <tritium> j3di`: lsb_release -a
[01:23] <_jason> amonroy, it goes to the page but it displays that error (it's like a 404 but not a 404 I think)
[01:23] <concept10> anyone prefer opera over firefox?
[01:23] <ispiked> ah, yes. default.list is what I want, I think.
[01:23] <bluefox83> concept10, i doubt it ;p
[01:24] <apokryphos> concept10: yes
[01:24] <blanky> enlightenment is weird
[01:24] <fmasi> hi i use MPlayer under ubuntu but wen i put a dvd in the computer after the menu it keeps restarting the mouvi what should i do to fix it ? Whith Toten its ok
[01:24] <amonroy> _jason: interesting, it might be something you need to configure in lynx
[01:24] <apokryphos> concept10: I can't bring myself to use firefox any of these days, knowing that opera and konqueror are out there :)
[01:24] <_jason> amonroy, so for you it works fine?
[01:24] <concept10> I think Opera is good, but I am used to the extensions. Im kind tired of CPU spikes in firefox 1.5 rc3
[01:24] <navarone> every search i do on gnutella comes back with porn or other file with my searrch term tacked onto the file name...very annoying
[01:24] <_jason> amonroy, 400 is the error, I just saw it
[01:24] <amonroy> i haven't tried, i am actually reinstalling ubuntu right now
[01:25] <_jason> amonroy, ah ok thanks
[01:25] <_jason> can anyone who uses lynx tell me if they can access http://www.google.com without any problems?
[01:25] <concept10> apokryphos, I like the web developer plugin in firefox, its realy helpfull

[01:32] <_jason> amonroy, http://tux.oclug.on.ca/pipermail/oclug/2004-May/038971.html that's probably the same problem I'm having
[01:33] <amonroy> wow, seems more complex than I thought
[01:34] <amonroy> does anyone know where can I find a short explanation of what universe, multiverse  and aptitude are? the http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/faqguide-all.html assumes you know what they are
[01:35] <blanky> sudo is a program right? like, debian must do apt-get install sudo to have it?
[01:36] <blanky> is sudo native to the kernel? or is it a program
[01:36] <apokryphos> nalioth: argh, how can that happen
[01:36] <new2linux> Hi every one...I just installed ubuntu on my system unfortunately I forgot the passwd for root. could any one please tell me if there is any way on changing the passwd for root without having to reinstall the hole system from scratch.?
[01:36] <bluefox83> blanky, man sudo, see what it tell syou
[01:36] <bluefox83> *tells you
[01:37] <ubuntu_noob> new2linux:  i think you just use sudo to do anything requiring root privaleges
[01:37] <blanky> er, all I'd like to know is if it's a program that you download (i know its already in ubuntu)
[01:37] <_jason> amonroy, mutliverse and universe are extra repos with more programs, aptitude is a program to manage packages (like synaptic but cli)
[01:37] <bluefox83> blanky, try apt-cache search sudo and find out, if it's in apt then it's a program :)
[01:38] <bimberi> blanky: yes it is
[01:40] <new2linux> ubuntu_noob: I tried sudo, but asked me for a passwd, which I do not remember...any other help please?
[01:40] <LjL> sudo asks for *your own* password
[01:40] <ubuntu_noob> new2linux: did you try your password when you did sudo?
[01:41] <pld3> how do i burn isos in k3b?
[01:41] <apokryphos> pld3: I already told you -- use the Tools menu
[01:41] <apokryphos> pld3: Tools -> Burn CD Image or whatever
[01:41] <pld3> burn dvd image is what I see
[01:41] <pld3> is that what I need?
[01:41] <pld3> its ubuntu's iso
[01:41] <apokryphos> pld3: did you get the CD or the DVD iso?
[01:42] <bobski> anyone have experience installing ubuntu on laptops?
[01:42] <corporal> hi, does anybody know how to change the default save mode in gedit from utf-8 to iso-8859-1?
[01:43] <ubuntu_noob> bobski: i just did an install on a laptop, though that would hardly qualify me as experienced.  :)
[01:43] <bobski> i have tried several times on my ibm thinkpad - keeps locking up entering gnome
[01:43] <PauloEE> Hi, I'm with a problem. gcc 4.0 is installed in my system but for some reason gcc is not in the path, that is, when I type gcc I get an error telling me that the command is not found.
[01:43] <bobski> boots to gdm ok
[01:43] <bobski> then just locks up
[01:43] <XTR-II> Oh hi, does Ubuntu have ipbs?
[01:44] <ubuntu_noob> bobski: hmm.  that's probably beyond me.  ;/  i bet someone in here can help though.  (they seem to know everything!)
[01:44] <new2linux> ubuntu_noob: thank you that works...it seems we have a lot to learn about this program , it is my first time to use....thanks a lot;)
[01:44] <ubuntu_noob> new2linux: you and i both
[01:44] <ubuntu_noob> new2linux: :)
[01:45] <bobski> ubuntu_noob: cheers mate :)
[01:45] <pld3> apokryphos, I got the cd ISO
[01:45] <apokryphos> pld3: then burn a CD image
[01:45] <Knorrie_> DreamEater: you eat dreams ?!
[01:46] <corporal> can anybody tell about gedit?
[01:47] <ogami1972> hell all
[01:47] <ogami1972> hello that is
[01:47] <synackuator> why does my "runlevel" show as N 2, when in theory i should be running at 5 since X is up
[01:47] <synackuator> ?
[01:47] <crimsun> no. Ubuntu doesn't play runlevel games.
[01:47] <crimsun> 2-5 are identical.
[01:47] <synackuator> no?
[01:48] <synackuator> so i can't set a custom default runlevel without screwing w/ my init stuff?
[01:48] <ogami1972> i installed a new soundcard, but i am told the "device is busy"- any advice?
[01:48] <synackuator> such as not having X come up when I boot?
[01:48] <crimsun> synackuator: don't mess with runlevels at all in Debian-based systems. It's simply not the way we do things.
[01:49] <crimsun> synackuator: there are a variety of ways to not start gdm on boot. Search the wiki and/or the bot.
[01:49] <navarone> hmm...what do i install for serpentine and gnomebaker to burn mp3s?
[01:50] <crimsun> navarone: gstreamer0.8-mad
[01:50] <navarone> that's it?
[01:50] <MagicFab> Hello - Anyone know of other pacakges similar to Istanbul - http://swik.net/istanbul and vnc2swf ?
[01:51] <pld3> i dont have the option to burn cd image

[01:54] <bimberi> pld3: you don't need k3b, right-click on the iso file in nautils and select 'write to disc'

[02:00] <Jared> okay...kewl i am eleven years old and i love computers....lots of experience with windows which got its tail wooped by  ubuntu when i got to my dads house tommorow i'm staying up all night to install ubuntu...and i have 5 of the ubuntu cds coming my way.....by the way does it cost for shipping on those cds

[02:00] <crimsun> navarone: np
[02:00] <PauloEE> i can't get my gcc work :-(
[02:01] <crimsun> blunted: in a Terminal, lsmod|grep ^snd_ca0106
[02:01] <crimsun> PauloEE: have you installed the 'build-essential' package?
[02:01] <blunted> what did that do?
[02:01] <crimsun> blunted: I need to know the output
[02:01] <blunted> there wasn't one
[02:01] <Angelfish> hey all, whats a good way to benchmark my fps, and are there any rpms to install for the ati open gl support?
[02:02] <Jared> Does anyone know if it costs for shipping on the cds from ubuntu the ones off the site?
[02:02] <corporal> go to irc.gnome.org#gedit
[02:02] <blunted> blunted@blunted:~$ lsmod|grep ^snd_ca0106
[02:02] <blunted> blunted@blunted:~$
[02:02] <smo> corporal: somewhere in xchat's File menu is a server list .. in that, look for 'gimpnet'.  follow the dialog and connect, then once it's stopped scrolling 'stuff', type '/join #gedit' where you're typing right now
[02:02] <blunted> ^ thats what it did
[02:02] <Knorrie> Jared: no
[02:02] <Kasatka> Jared: The shipping is free
[02:03] <Jared> okay...good so no money required....THANKYOU
[02:03] <corporal> thanks smo
[02:03] <crimsun> blunted: sudo modprobe snd_ca0106
[02:03] <Jared> i was supprised to find completely free cds on there...thanks
[02:03] <PauloEE> crimsun, yes, it is installed.
[02:03] <crimsun> PauloEE: what's the error? Use paste.ubuntulinux.nl
[02:03] <Knorrie> Jared: tell the world about ubuntu :))
[02:03] <blunted> FATAL: Module snd_ca0106 not found.
[02:03] <blunted> FATAL: Error running install command for snd_ca0106
[02:03] <crimsun> blunted: ...you must not be using a standard Ubuntu kernel.
[02:04] <blunted> dude i so just installed it
[02:04] <navarone> blunted> did you disable onboard sound if it is present on mainboard?
[02:04] <PauloEE> crismsun: when I type gcc i get command not found.
[02:04] <blunted> i didnt disable anything
[02:04] <crimsun> blunted: but which did you install, Warty or Hoary?
[02:04] <blunted> i pressed enter to install the default installiation
[02:04] <blunted> erm
[02:04] <Jared> i already am planning to give my friend a copy and my dad is gonna dual boot his computer with it and i iplan to give lots of other ppl some live cds
[02:04] <blunted> hoary
[02:04] <Kasatka> Anyone: I was trying to install ubuntu, but i failed to get the iso to burn right. so i have the directory but when i attempt to use 'loadlin vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img' it can't find the image. Any ideas?
[02:04] <Jared> they come with live cds right?
[02:04] <ogami1972> has anyone ever installed a new soundcard on an existing sys?
[02:05] <crimsun> blunted: Hoary doesn't have it by default. You need to compile the driver. I'm sending you instructions to generate the "ca0106" driver.
[02:05] <crimsun> !tell blunted about alsa-source
[02:05] <crimsun> PauloEE: sudo apt-get --reinstall install build-essential
[02:05] <APACHE^_^> bimberi, I don"t reproducer mp3 in my machine Ubuntu SO
[02:05] <APACHE^_^> help me
[02:05] <navarone> i'm using sb live as well and it works perfect...in breezy anyway
[02:06] <APACHE^_^> There were no decoders found to handle the stream, you might need to install the corresponding plugins ?
[02:06] <APACHE^_^> decoders ?
[02:06] <APACHE^_^> download from ?
[02:06] <crimsun> navarone: the sb live is a very different beast from the sb live 24-bit/7.1
[02:06] <crimsun> APACHE^_^: enable the universe repository, then install the 'gstreamer0.8-mad' package
[02:06] <navarone> I have sb live 24bit 7.1
[02:06] <PauloEE> crimsun, thanks. it worked, quite strange.
[02:06] <crimsun> navarone: you're also using Breezy.
[02:07] <navarone> lol
[02:07] <navarone> that is true
[02:07] <Kasatka> Anyone: I was trying to install ubuntu, but i failed to get the iso to burn right. so i have the directory but when i attempt to use 'loadlin vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img' it can't find the image. Any ideas?
[02:08] <APACHE^_^> crabstic, yes breezy
[02:08] <APACHE^_^> jeronimo@ubuntu:~$ gstreamer0.8-mad

[02:08] <nalioth> Kasatka: verify your iso image before you burn it, and burn it sloooooowly
[02:08] <nalioth> APACHE^_^: please read the /topic. pasting is strongly discouraged in here
[02:08] <crimsun> APACHE^_^: no, install it using Synaptic
[02:09] <Kasatka> nalioth: Firstly, How do i check the iso? and second, my computer i'm trying to install it on so it might just be that the bios won't boot from cd
[02:09] <blunted> it sure is doing alot of stuff
[02:09] <blunted> i hope it works
[02:09] <blunted> prolly wont tho
[02:09] <blunted> i have shitty luck
[02:09] <blunted> !winmacfstab
[02:09] <ubotu> blunted: I haven't a clue
[02:09] <nalioth> ubuntu_: tell Kasatka about verify
[02:10] <blunted> blah

[02:11] <ubuntu_> thx
[02:11] <ubuntu_> but i don't specialy need help i'm just testing the dapper
[02:12] <ubuntu_> ;)
[02:12] <blunted> !fstab
[02:12] <ubotu> fstab is, like, /etc/fstab is a real pain for new users. The fstab file lists all drives and partitions but can be easily configured automatically with the winmac_fstab file found here http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/files/winmac_fstab  See <partitions>.
[02:12] <Knorrie> Jimbob_: yes, a live cd and an install cd
[02:12] <benplaut> anyone here make/know anything about gtk themes?

[02:16] <Nepws> hi i have a directory of .vob files. can someone help point me in the dirrection to create the other needed files for a dvd?
[02:16] <nalioth> Nepws: get 'dvdauthor'
[02:17] <Nepws> nalioth, got that but not real sure what to do from that point.. it keeps expecting a ifo
[02:17] <Hobbsee> !tell kaiji about mount
[02:17] <nalioth> Nepws: it's all i know in the repos, perhaps searching sourceforge.net or freshmeat.net
[02:17] <ogami1972> ok- new question- can i run one soundcard for linux and another for my windows partition?
[02:18] <Nepws> will do
[02:18] <kaiji> thats a cool thing!  i didnt know you could use that "!tell" command
[02:18] <bluefox83> ogami1972, uh..yeah O.o
[02:19] <MagicFab> Hello, anyone knows of other "desktop session recorders" like Istanbul or vnc2swf ?
[02:19] <ogami1972> i have since found that ubuntu doesn't paly nice with m-audio cards...after being told m-audio cards worked great with linux
[02:19] <ogami1972> but i need it for windows!
[02:20] <bluefox83> ogami1972, try a soundblaster soundcard, works great in linux and windows
[02:20] <ogami1972> that's what i just pulled out
[02:20] <bobski> hi again :)
[02:20] <ogami1972> sb does not support true multi tracking, which i need in windows
[02:21] <bluefox83> wtf is multitracking?
[02:21] <bobski> anyone know of an issue with ubuntu and ubm thinkpads or laptops in general?
[02:21] <ogami1972> i don't want to leave ubuntu, but i love linux, and other distros allegedly work
[02:21] <ogami1972> multi-track recording
[02:21] <Angelfish> whatelse do i need to do besides install the fglrx package?
[02:21] <bobski> my install of ubuntu locks up when entering gnome everytime :(
[02:21] <bluefox83> not sure i get what you are talking about ogami1972
[02:22] <Angelfish> ogami1972, which other distros?
[02:22] <ogami1972> i produce audio in windows, use linux for the daily tasks
[02:22] <XRange> bobsk: it's installed here on R32
[02:22] <bluefox83> you might try debian ^_^
[02:22] <ogami1972> audigy is an ok card, but no good for recording
[02:22] <bobski> XRange: any tricks you had to use?
[02:23] <XRange> no
[02:23] <kaiji> Hobbsee, thanks but im looking for network mounts trough samba. i had printing and everything set up and a few days passed with out me do anyting to the network and now i cant see the window boxes
[02:23] <bluefox83> ogami1972, you a dj?
[02:23] <ogami1972> i say allegedly- the forums believe it is an alsa bug pertaining to the ice1712 chipset
[02:23] <bobski> hmmmm
[02:23] <ogami1972> no, more noise than dance
[02:23] <bobski> this is an old t20
[02:23] <bluefox83> heavy metal ?
[02:23] <ogami1972> alsamixer sees the device, but apps say the device is busy
[02:23] <bobski> probably buggy bios causing it
[02:24] <ogami1972> no, think brian eno in a REALLY bad mood
[02:24] <bluefox83> ogami1972, try shutting down the audio server and restarting it
[02:24] <ogami1972> pardon my ignorance, but how?
[02:24] <bluefox83> kill the pid
[02:25] <bluefox83> use ps x
[02:25] <bluefox83> find the audio server in the list, and kill -9 it's pid
[02:25] <ogami1972> code?
[02:25] <trkorecky_> Is fragmentation a problem in Linux?
[02:25] <ogami1972> not if you use ext2
[02:25] <ogami1972> or 3
[02:25] <bluefox83> trkorecky, not really
[02:26] <trkorecky_> So that's just a Windows problem then, eh?
[02:26] <bluefox83> if you mean, does it slow linux does to a crawl until it dies a horrible death like it does windows..rejoice..the answer is no
[02:26] <bluefox83> *down
[02:26] <raingrove> trkorecky, yes it is a problem if u dont have enough freespace
[02:26] <SumoJim_>  /msg nickserv link <SumoJim> <sumojim78>
[02:26] <swistak> hmmm quick question, on standard installation, is it possible to turn on writing on ntfs ?
[02:26] <raingrove> trkorecky, and be careful, reiserfs cannot be defragmented
[02:27] <trkorecky_> raingrove: I'm using ext3
[02:27] <nalioth> trkorecky_: it is not a problem at all with linux filesystems
[02:27] <swistak> or do i have to recompile kernel ?
[02:27] <bluefox83> swistak, yes, modprobe NTFS
[02:27] <bluefox83> er, modprobe btfs
[02:27] <bluefox83> aerpihuq rfglagh
[02:27] <raingrove> trkorecky, files will be not fragmented as long as u have freespace
[02:27] <bluefox83> my typing is killing me tonight
[02:27] <nalioth> swistak: only if you want to have a former-ntfs sized empty partition
[02:27] <bluefox83> modprobe ntfs
[02:28] <trkorecky_> raingrove: I've got the standard Ubuntu installation (5.04) that's currently upgrading to 5.10 via Synaptic Package Manager.  It's installed on a 4GB drive
[02:28] <bluefox83> swistak, if the ubuntu kernel is anything like the debian kernel binaries, all you should have to do is modprobe ntfs
[02:28] <raingrove> trkorecky, dont worry friend. i never had to defragment my drive
[02:28] <nalioth> bluefox83: writing to ntfs can cause partition destruction
[02:28] <Angelfish> how do i switch to using the ATI FGLRX driver from using the mesa driver?
[02:28] <swistak> bluefox83:  i did that, still it says it's read-only
[02:29] <nalioth> swistak: writing to ntfs can cause ntfs partition destruction
[02:29] <trkorecky_> raingrove: I'm a hardcore Linux-beginner.  How does one find out how much space is left on a drive?
[02:29] <bluefox83> swistak, check access permissions
[02:29] <luisito> hello hello
[02:29] <raingrove> trkorecky, df
[02:29] <swistak> nalioth: thnx, i know that
[02:29] <bimberi> trkorecky: df -h
[02:29] <bluefox83> nalioth, not really, the latest ntfs module includes decent write functionality
[02:29] <luisito> is there a command to know cpuid?
[02:29] <swistak> i guess i'll have to convert one partition to fat32
[02:30] <nalioth> bluefox83: is the latest ntfs module in hoary?
[02:30] <trkorecky_> raingrove, bimberi: Thanks
[02:30] <luisito> or software?
[02:30] <bluefox83> nalioth, as i am a debian user, and not a ubuntu user..i can only say...it's in the latest 2.6 kernels
[02:30] <hab> hi !
[02:30] <ogami1972> well, i killed esd, but i still get told the device is busy
[02:30] <nalioth> bluefox83: ah. ok.
[02:30] <hab> what is the equivalent of deamon tool on linux ?
[02:31] <raingrove> hab/mount
[02:31] <ptlo> there's a package (mono-utils) missing a functionality, so I'd like to report a bug - where should I enter the bug report, into some bugtracking system (and which?), mail to ubuntu-users (as said in Bugs: field in package description) or mail to package maintainers? the package is imported from debian, it seems
[02:31] <nalioth> bluefox83: the chance of destruction is still too high to recomend for general use
[02:31] <bluefox83> hab, you can mounbt iso's directly in linux..no special tools needed
[02:31] <bluefox83> nalioth, i never recommended it..
[02:32] <ptlo> oh nvm, it looks like i should report it in malone
[02:32] <blunted> hey my sound doesn't work
[02:32] <blunted> still
[02:33] <swistak> okey it's 3 AM
[02:33] <blunted> after crimsun told me to type some long stuff
[02:33] <bluefox83> blunted, what do you want us to do about it?
[02:33] <swistak> i guess i pass for today
[02:33] <blunted> help me pls
[02:33] <swistak> sya guys
[02:33] <blunted> i dont know how to fix it. i have a creative soundblaster live 24bit

[02:33] <blunted> yes
[02:33] <hab> ok tank
[02:33] <blunted> its hooked up
[02:33] <navarone> blunted> this may seem likea  stupid suggestion...but did you check if the mixer volumes were muted...?

[03:03] <sethmahoney> hybrid: Why don't you just install java with automatix?
[03:03] <ubuntu_noob> johnny: *nod*  sounds cool.  know if there's any hope for some of the silly mmorpgs out there?
[03:03] <JayLv99> hybrid - get a new girlfriend who doesn't care about java

[03:34] <ecobuntu> crimsun: is there a program similar to alsaconf?
[03:34] <crimsun> cralost: does aplay work?

[03:34] <cralost> crimsun, no
[03:34] <aaronf0> if you install mplayer can you watch wmvs?
[03:34] <crimsun> ecobuntu: in many cases udev+hotplug handle it

[03:34] <ecobuntu> crimsun: it does for me
[03:35] <paxmaster> how could I apt-get a file just to download (not to install)
[03:35] <_jason> aaronf0, you need w32codecs as well
[03:35] <crimsun> ecobuntu: yes, I use Dapper.
[03:35] <aaronf0> how do you pretend install something?
[03:35] <cralost> there is not /dev/dsp
[03:35] <ecobuntu> crimsun: flight 1 isn't too different from breezy yet, eh?
[03:35] <aaronf0> the equivelant of an emerge -pv mplayer?
[03:35] <pld3> intelikey, may I shoot you a private msg pls?
[03:35] <crimsun> ecobuntu: not really.
[03:35] <redondos> paxmaster: -d
[03:35] <Xcerca_> redondos where can i get mplayer ?
[03:35] <watnu> yawnz
[03:35] <intelikey> yes
[03:35] <pld3> I dont think you understand what I need
[03:35] <crimsun> aaronf0: apt-get -s install [...]
[03:35] <aaronf0> ok
[03:35] <pld3> thanks bud.
[03:36] <aaronf0> crimsun: what is mplayer called on ubuntu?
[03:36] <redondos> Xcerca_: universe repository, I believe.
[03:36] <redondos> !repositories
[03:36] <ubotu> well, repositories is How to add repositories:  http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto See !sources for example sources.list
[03:36] <paxmaster> thx redondos will try that
[03:36] <aaronf0> next time i will voncer my friends to irc before linux... :-(
[03:36] <redondos> aaronf0: mplayer is mplayer.
[03:36] <aaronf0> *convert
[03:36] <cralost> crimsun, there is not the /dev/dsp file and i cant play
[03:37] <aaronf0> hrm, he says its getting not founds
[03:37] <redondos> paxmaster: np.
[03:37] <crimsun> aaronf0: mplayer-$arch

[03:37] <aaronf0> do you need to update the mirror thing after a new install?
[03:37] <aaronf0> apd-get update?
[03:37] <crimsun> generally, no
[03:37] <aaronf0> *apt-get
[03:37] <pld3> intelikey, i messaged you, no reply though
[03:37] <neoplasticity> guess not....
[03:37] <crimsun> you need to update if you add or remove repositories, though
[03:37] <redondos> aaronf0: you do after adding a repository. and you probably will do that after an install.
[03:38] <benkong2> if I plug in my linksys wpc54G card and then do an lspci it shows in the output. does that mean it will work for wireless?
[03:38] <aaronf0> redondos: i meant after a fresh install on harddrive
[03:38] <ubuntu_noob> crimsun: thanks for your help again.  i know i asked you ages ago about gestreamer, but i just got it all working now.  thanks.
[03:38] <redondos> benkong2: no it doesn't.
[03:38] <crimsun> benkong2: generally, yes.
[03:38] <intelikey> pld3 "hey" is not much to reply to.
[03:38] <crimsun> ubuntu_noob: np
[03:38] <redondos> haha sorry crimsun
[03:38] <benkong2> whoa!!! talk about conflicting views
[03:38] <redondos> but it doesn't mean it'll work...
[03:38] <cralost> crimsun, i must reboot the machine?
[03:38] <Xcerca_> do you NEED backports ?
[03:38] <pld3> heh
[03:38] <Xcerca_> or is that really just an options....
[03:38] <redondos> aaronf0: well, you probably will update the database anyway, so it's not a bad idea.
[03:38] <n0dl> does anyone know any email that is text-only browser frinedly?
[03:39] <crimsun> Xcerca_: it's best to avoid backports, but they're certainly an option.
[03:39] <benkong2> crimsun; redondos; where can I go for info?
[03:39] <Xcerca_> thx
[03:39] <redondos> n0dl: like mutt?
[03:39] <n0dl> i mean web-based email that doesnt use java?
[03:39] <crimsun> benkong2: google.
[03:39] <n0dl> mutt?
[03:39] <benkong2> k
[03:39] <redondos> benkong2: exactly.
[03:39] <watnu> pine?
[03:39] <crimsun> cralost: no
[03:39] <Xcerca_> n0dl    you always ask some weird freakin questions....   :)
[03:39] <cralost> ok
[03:39] <redondos> benkong2: you can probably run it using ndiswrapper, but maybe there's a native driver for your chipset.
[03:39] <ecobuntu> crimsun: is there a website where the projected dapper releases are listed
[03:39] <crimsun> cralost: tail -2 /proc/asound/oss/sndstat
[03:40] <crimsun> ecobuntu: come again?
[03:40] <redondos> benkong2: find out what chipset it uses (!google cardname+chipset) then google for chipset+linux
[03:40] <watnu> yawnz
[03:40] <cralost> crimsun, 0: SigmaTel STAC9750,51
[03:40] <redondos> n0dl: no, mutt is a console mail client.
[03:40] <pld3> okay
[03:40] <crimsun> cralost: sec.
[03:40] <ecobuntu> crimsun: is there a website that shows a 'roadmap' for the dapper releases (i.e. flight 1 flight 2 flight 3...RC1 RC2....Official Dapper release)
[03:40] <pld3> for example can someone go to: http://www.wwe.com/content/media/video/494698/1025178/1231106/25lpfexclusive
[03:40] <watnu> !mutt
[03:40] <ubotu> watnu: What?
[03:41] <pld3> im getting an error when trying to watch a video on line (windows media player)
[03:41] <pld3> what do I install to fix that?
[03:41] <watnu> ok
[03:41] <redondos> n0dl: (/me is guessing that when you said java you meant javascript) web-based e-mail services without AJAX? hrm... www.hotpop.com, www.softhome.net. they suck, but no javascript there.
[03:41] <redondos> pld3: w32codecs

[03:42] <ubotu> from memory, w32codecs is binary only codecs that some call evil., and they're available from http://giannaros.org/public/breezydebs/
[03:42] <foampeac1> redondos: will pray
[03:42] <pld3> is there a way to install from apt-get?
[03:42] <paxmaster> i have a very intersting question, please hear me out, is there a way to see split file
[03:42] <sethmahoney> pld3: No, but you can use automatix
[03:43] <redondos> pld3: apt-get install w32codecs
[03:43] <paxmaster> the content
[03:43] <redondos> paxmaster: what?
[03:43] <pld3> Package w32codecs is not available
[03:43] <foampeac1> linux could have so much more. people shoudl just pour it all into ubuntu
[03:43] <crimsun> ecobuntu: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseSchedule
[03:43] <crimsun> cralost: I'm checking something.

[03:45] <BROKEN_LADDER> where is the file typo associations settings program in ubunt?!
[03:45] <redondos> foampeac1: hehe yeah, but there are other distributions as well, you know?
[03:45] <isaio> How do I tell ubuntu live (ppc edition) what resolution to boot at?
[03:45] <nerve> but i don't have that much room on my drive (temporary linux install)
[03:45] <_jason> BROKEN_LADDER, you can right click on a file and go to properties
[03:45] <foampeac1> redondos: ya but people need to focus on one for a while for the take over...then all other will follow
[03:45] <redondos> paxmaster: how did you split it?
[03:45] <intelikey> paxmaster i ya yia  you may have to put it back togather before you can extratc it.
[03:46] <redondos> foampeac1: I don't agree, but ok.
[03:46] <isaio> How do I tell ubuntu live (ppc edition) what resolution to boot at?
[03:46] <foampeac1> redondos: then what is the answer
[03:46] <xxvii> ok.. got torrent working.. can anyone help me with getting internet radio to work?
[03:46] <pld3> sethmahoney, may I msg you?
[03:46] <durt> answer to what foampeac1?
[03:46] <redondos> foampeac1: I don't know. There are discrepancies here. It is a well-discussed subject that you can read about on many, many articles/mailing lists.
[03:46] <redondos> xxvii: just use amaroK.
[03:47] <cralost> crimsun, it's a desktop computer, a celeron 1.7 MB, intel motherboard (i8x0), 512 MB RAM, packard bell (i-media model, a latinoamerican model) (i'm from chile)
[03:47] <xxvii> redondos, where can i get that? apt-get?
[03:47] <Orborde> Is there any way to disconnect, say, an Xfce session and resume it later on another machine, a la screen -r ?
[03:47] <sethmahoney> pld3: sure
[03:47] <redondos> xxvii: yes. it is an audio playing application.
[03:47] <paxmaster> is there a better way to split it
[03:47] <intelikey> isaio did you hit [F1]  for help at boot time ?
[03:47] <paxmaster> is *
[03:47] <Xcerca_> i have an AMD 64, and can't install the w32 codecs,  do i have any options ?
[03:47] <xxvii> redondos, thanks, i'll try it
[03:47] <redondos> np, xxvii
[03:47] <ecobuntu> ok so like every 2 weeks there will be a new cd image released
[03:48] <redondos> paxmaster: how did you split it in the first place?
[03:48] <Xcerca_> does anyone in here have an amd64 ?
[03:48] <redondos> Xcerca_: Don't really know crap about ubuntu on k8.
[03:48] <paxmaster> well first i made a tar file and then the split command
[03:48] <ecobuntu> what's k8?  a processor?
[03:48] <Xcerca_> thats ok,  i'll check the forums...
[03:48] <redondos> ecobuntu: new line of amd cpus
[03:48] <ecobuntu> ok
[03:49] <J_P> ecobuntu: yes is the amd 64 bits
[03:49] <cralost> crimsun, the support of this sound card is very  problematic (just since hoary i can play sound with multiple aplications)
[03:49] <ecobuntu> i want to get an amd after my laptop kicks the bucket
[03:49] <ecobuntu> i hear they're pretty sweet
[03:49] <BROKEN_LADDER> _jason how does right-clicking on properties help me to erase all the listings of different programs?

[03:49] <BROKEN_LADDER> _jason ahh..i see

[03:50] <vrub> hi
[03:50] <vrub> how do you edit the grub boot file ?
[03:50] <Xcerca_> thx guys
[03:50] <vrub> in console ?
[03:50] <redondos> paxmaster: concatenate it.
[03:51] <vrub> anyone know ? :(
[03:51] <Orborde> Xcerca_: There is a long answer as to why, but I doubt you care that much. In order to use w32codecs, you need to get a 32-bit environment. You can do this by either installing Ubuntu 32bit or searching wiki.ubuntu.com for "chroot" and setting up a 32bit chroot.
[03:51] <cralost> crimsun, http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/4847
[03:51] <redondos> vrub: there are many editors out there.
[03:51] <foampeac1> what is this? http://www.ubuntu.com/include/ubuntu-5.10-winfoss.jpg
[03:51] <simonvallore> Could someone help me with my pure ftpd
[03:51] <vrub> i mean what is the name of it redondos like i dont remember the name
[03:51] <foampeac1> anyone use the stumbleupon firefox extension?
[03:51] <Orborde> vrub: sudo gedit /etc/grub/menu.lst ?
[03:51] <intelikey> vrub 'sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst '   or something like that.
[03:51] <vrub> ty
[03:51] <redondos> vrub: if you don't feel comfortable using vim/emacs, then use nano. so: sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
[03:51] <Orborde> vrub: Or pico. Or emacs
[03:52] <redondos> paxmaster: did you manage to do it?
[03:52] <BROKEN_LADDER> ah hem
[03:52] <BROKEN_LADDER> nano
[03:52] <redondos> paxmaster: just `cat file1 file2 > resultingfile'
[03:52] <ecobuntu> crimsun: is the 2.6.15 kernel in dapper repositories?
[03:52] <crimsun> cralost: you can try installing build-essential, linux-headers-$(uname -r), and gcc-3.4. Then download alsa-driver 1.0.10 from http://www.alsa-project.org
[03:52] <crimsun> ecobuntu: yes
[03:52] <foampeac1> the firefox stumbleupon extension ROCKS
[03:52] <intelikey> pico is nano      or is it  nano is pico  ???????
[03:52] <ecobuntu> crimsun: how come i can apt-cache search it
[03:52] <redondos> Orborde: nano is pico's evolution. it's one or the other :)
[03:52] <ecobuntu> crimsun: i ment can't find it
[03:53] <intelikey> well one is a symlink to the other
[03:53] <crimsun> ecobuntu: ecobuntu apt-cache policy linux-image-2.6.15-3-686
[03:53] <Orborde> Is there any way to disconnect, say, an Xfce session and resume it later on another machine, a la screen -r ?
[03:53] <ecobuntu> crimsun: policy?
[03:53] <crimsun> ecobuntu: yes.
[03:53] <ecobuntu> crimsun: unable to locate

[03:54] <cralost> i'm gonna test

[03:54] <Xcerca_> Orborde are you using ubuntu 64 ?

[03:54] <kirk> can anyone give me a hand ?
[03:55] <kirk> im a ubuntu newb =\
[03:55] <_jason> kirk just ask
[03:55] <ecobuntu> kirk: whats your question
[03:55] <Orborde> Xcerca_: ?
[03:55] <simonvallore> kirk pm me maybe i can help
[03:55] <foampeac1> does the ubuntu live cd look like this? http://www.ubuntu.com/include/ubuntu-5.10-winfoss.jpg
[03:55] <ecobuntu> crimsun: do you see it if you run apt-cache search linux-image
[03:55] <crimsun> ecobuntu: yes
[03:55] <_jason> foampeac1, when you run it on windows
[03:55] <ecobuntu> crimsun: can you paste your /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:56] <crimsun> ecobuntu: it's a standard dapper sources.list
[03:56] <_jason> foampeac1, it let's you install some oss for windows
[03:56] <Orborde> Xcerca_: Sorry if I sounded like a jerk. The reason you can't use w32codecs in 64bit Ubuntu directly is that you're set up with 64bit libraries, which 32bit programs cannot link into.
[03:56] <ecobuntu> crimsun: well i don't have it in my repositories
[03:56] <kirk> well i just formatted....and installed ubuntu... i plan to install winblows as well for some necessary school apps........ I formatted my 80gb hard drive and made 2 10gb partitions ( win/lin ) .... i want to be able to access the remaining 60gb from both .... but havent the most remote clue how..
[03:56] <foampeac1> are ther screenshots of the livecd?
[03:56] <ecobuntu> crimsun: i just see 2.6.12
[03:57] <Xcerca_> thx,  i figured that....
[03:57] <Orborde> kirk: Set it up as a FAT32 filesystem.
[03:57] <crimsun> ecobuntu: do you even have dapper in your sources.list?
[03:57] <Xcerca_> if i installed totem-xine from synaptic,  how do i creatie a link to it ?
[03:57] <kirk> can i do that while after ubuntu is installed?
[03:57] <ecobuntu> crimsun: yup..i'm running flight 1 on a secondary partition
[03:57] <Xcerca_> n/m
[03:57] <redondos> kirk: create a VFAT (FAT32) partition on it. that way both OSes will be able to read/write to it.
[03:57] <Xcerca_> the command is just xine ...
[03:57] <_jason> foampeac1, do you just want to see what ubuntu looks like?
[03:57] <redondos> kirk: how? well, you should use QTParted.
[03:57] <RadSurfer> we have 16/32 bit thunking... I can just see us using 32/64 bit thunking techniques
[03:57] <crimsun> ecobuntu: do you have the main archive enabled?
[03:57] <Orborde> Xcerca_: I believe it simply overwrites totem with totem-xine.
[03:58] <crimsun> RadSurfer: thunking is not the appropriate term
[03:58] <crimsun> RadSurfer: we're working on biarch support for Dapper
[03:58] <kirk> ok.... mind if i pm you and get a wee bit of step-by-step ? :P
[03:58] <ecobuntu> crimsun: yeah
[03:58] <redondos> I don't have the time, sorry.
[03:58] <crimsun> ecobuntu: then you should see it with ''apt-cache policy linux-image-2.6.15-3-686''
[03:58] <ecobuntu> crimsun: ok..it's cause i had us.archive...not just archive
[03:58] <redondos> there are docs everywhere. maybe google a bit.
[03:58] <foampeac1> _jason: no i just wonder if it is much different then the install disc
[03:58] <diana> http://www.rafb.net/paste/results/lV2oPb27.html <--- This is my /etc/network/interfaces file... I have my /etc/network/interfaces setup to use eth0 first...then if that fails use ath0...But eth0 takes so long ot realize the cat5e isn't plugged in...it wastes a long time in my boot up process...Is there a way to make interfaces realize that the cable isn't plugged in faster? Can I put like a timer on the amount of time it can try and get eth0 t
[03:59] <Phuzion> Alright, something is up with my machine...
[03:59] <_jason> foampeac1, no it looks the same... at least in hoary it did.  I'd imagine it's the same story for breezy
[03:59] <RadSurfer> I'm sure we'll be hearing more about adapting 32 to 64
[03:59] <God> Okay so, I'm trying to install OpenGL
[03:59] <Phuzion> I try to log into it through PuTTY, and it "unexpectedly closes the connection"
[03:59] <God> and it says /bin/csh doesn't exist. It doesn't. Do I need it? If so, how do I get it?
[03:59] <ecobuntu> crimsun: i delete all the of the 'us' from my repositories and now i can see things...and i am getting updates when before i didn't
[03:59] <intelikey> kirk as if you didn't get enough ideas the cli option would be to use fdisk/cfdisk /dev/hd? to make a fat32 partition and use mkfs.vfat /dev/hd?# to format it.
[04:00] <Orborde> Phuzion: You have openssh set up on the machine, right?
[04:00] <MrFarts> what's the standard location for exported NFS volumes under linux ?
[04:00] <Phuzion> Orborde, I've been able to log into it for weeks.
[04:01] <Orborde> Phuzion: Well, hmm..that is odd. Changed any configs on the thing lately?
[04:01] <Phuzion> Not that I can think of...
[04:01] <Orborde> Phuzion: My usual overkill method is to fire up ethereal and watch what's actually going on over the network.
[04:01] <Orborde> Phuzion: Can you ping it?
[04:01] <redondos> Phuzion: restart the demon.
[04:01] <Phuzion> Pings fine.
[04:02] <Phuzion> Alright, what's the command for restarting openssh?
[04:02] <Phuzion> openssh -restart ?
[04:02] <redondos> /etc/init.d/ssh restart
[04:02] <Phuzion> Alright, thanks.
[04:02] <redondos> np.
[04:02] <intelikey> ssh or sshd ?
[04:02] <redondos> why is this system using OpenBSD sshd? darn!
[04:02] <ecobuntu> i wish i had a HP printer
[04:02] <redondos> here, it's just ssh.
[04:03] <God> Is anyone going to help God?
[04:03] <redondos> but who knows.. ubuntu is a little weird with the names
[04:03] <blanky> guys, you know how when you right click and do create new file > it says no templates instsalled yet? how can I install a template, so it says something like 'create new Xml file' or osmething
[04:03] <God> intelikey ssh works for me.
[04:03] <Orborde> Phuzion: sudo killall -HUP sshd might do it, too.
[04:03] <Phuzion> Hey, would restarting the machine work?
[04:03] <Phuzion> Because I don't have a monitor hooked to it right now...
[04:03] <Phuzion> And I don't wanna drag my huge ass CRT upstairs.
[04:04] <MrFarts> Phuzion, wuss :)
[04:04] <redondos> Phuzion: you could try that... if it's a matter of restarting the daemon, then yeah.
[04:04] <Phuzion> Alright

[04:05] <blanky> they dont answer me :(
[04:05] <blanky> intelikey: i dont mean OO templates...
[04:05] <blanky> :(
[04:05] <blanky> like, if you right click on your desktop, create new file
[04:05] <blanky> it only has empty file
[04:05] <redondos> I know what you mean.
[04:05] <redondos> I wouldn't use that feature, so no idea.
[04:05] <intelikey> i don't use gnome.....
[04:06] <Phuzion> MrFarts, I don't want to get my CRT out because it's sitting on top of a 6' tall shelf...
[04:06] <Phuzion> And it's a 19" CRT that weights nearly a ton.
[04:06] <MrFarts> Phuzion, weaking :)
[04:06] <blanky> Please help me :'(
[04:06] <MrFarts> weakling :)
[04:06] <blanky> I feel like...incomplete...I feel like cutting myself :'(
[04:06] <Phuzion> MrFarts:  I'm just lazy.

[04:06] <Phuzion> :)
[04:06] <MrFarts> Phuzion, 19" crt can't weigh more than 75 lbs or so
[04:07] <Phuzion> MrFarts:  It's on top of a 6' shelf.
[04:07] <Siph0n> so whose installed unreal tournament 2004 on ubuntu? :)
[04:07] <MrFarts> Phuzion, so get a chair :)
[04:07] <redondos> Siph0n: I have.
[04:07] <Phuzion> MrFarts:  Plus, If anything, I'd just disconnect the LCD that I'm using right now...
[04:07] <blanky> hey guys, is samba already installed on ubuntu? if so what's the name of the package?
[04:07] <MrFarts> Phuzion, that'll work too :)
[04:08] <MrFarts> can you recommend a good, cheap 19" lcd btw
[04:08] <Siph0n> rendondos: know of a website that gives instructions how to? :) i tryed on my lab computer and it doesnt work now :)
[04:08] <MrFarts> mostly for text
[04:08] <MrFarts> i don't do "gaming"
[04:08] <Phuzion> I dunno.
[04:08] <durt> ls
[04:08] <Phuzion> My mom bought this monitor...
[04:08] <durt> whoops
[04:09] <Phuzion> Oh, and the mahcine works now, thanks for the help.
[04:09] <paxmaster> redondos: I have 14 split file, it a pain in the butt to undo everythink to restore one single file
[04:09] <intelikey> !info samba
[04:09] <blanky> cafuego: are you present?
[04:09] <ubotu> samba: (a LanManager-like file and printer server for Unix), section net, is optional. Version: 3.0.14a-6ubuntu1 (breezy), Packaged size: 2332 kB, Installed size: 5928 kB
[04:10] <redondos> blanky: I don't know if it's by default, but try `sudo apt-get install samba'
[04:10] <redondos> Siph0n: I just did what the official site said. http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/linux/quake4/
[04:10] <blanky> redondos: thanks
[04:10] <redondos> np, blanky
[04:10] <Siph0n> redondos, awesoem thanx :)
[04:10] <blanky> redondos: this will allow me to connect to my windows network, correct?
[04:11] <redondos> Siph0n: yw.
[04:11] <polpak> Anyone have any experience installing grub onto a CD? I'd like to be able to leave the windows boot loader intact on this computer, but still have a linux install I can boot to from CD.
[04:11] <redondos> blanky: no this will allow your windows network to connect to your ubuntu machine.
[04:11] <redondos> paxmaster: what are you trying to say?
[04:11] <kirk> someone mind walking me through some partition help ? :P
[04:11] <blanky> redondos: ah okay, I thought it was the other way around.
[04:11] <Siph0n> redondos: that will work for UT2k4 also? cause it says quake 4?
[04:11] <MachineScrew> kirk, what do ya need
[04:11] <redondos> polpak: almost any liveCD lets you specify where to boot from. you could use ubuntu live
[04:11] <blanky> Guys, whats the best way to host a printer for a windows network
[04:12] <psychocat> woohoo for xchat 2.6.0
[04:12] <Phuzion> blanky:  Samba
[04:12] <redondos> blanky: you probably already have a driver for that. try `mount //server/share /mnt/location -t cifs'
[04:12] <redondos> blanky: that'd be samba+cups
[04:12] <paxmaster> is there a better solution to split file and extract one file instead doing the whole that thing to extract one file
[04:13] <polpak> redondos, I'm not sure I understand. I want to install Ubunto into another partition, but not install grub. Then use a CD to boot into that installation. I don't want to use a live CD.. (not enough ram to make it work well)
[04:13] <redondos> psychocat: already there? yay
[04:13] <redondos> paxmaster: I don't understand you, sorry.l
[04:13] <xxvii> hey, what's the command to close down the gnome sound program that starts when gnome starts?
[04:13] <kirk> nachine , check pm
[04:13] <ecobuntu> crimsun: my splashscreen is all f-ed up with the 2.6.15-686 kernel...has this bug been reported?
[04:13] <gleesond> can anyone tell me where the automount configuration files are?
[04:13] <kirk> *machine
[04:13] <paxmaster> ok
[04:13] <MachineScrew> kirk no pm yet
[04:14] <intelikey> redondos paxmaster is asking if there is a way to extract one file form a multi disk archive
[04:14] <ClayG> My dvd burner blinks when i burn using certain applications
[04:14] <redondos> polpak: I'm not suggesting that you boot the liveCD. Only use it for booting your ubuntu installation. I can't quite remember the command to do so, but pressing F1 when Grub appears you'll see some tips. It's something like `boot /dev/hdb1', for instance.
[04:14] <ClayG> to burner, has anyone else experienced this?
[04:15] <polpak> redondos, ok, thanks I'll take alook
[04:15] <redondos> gleesond: `sudo gedit /etc/fstab'
[04:15] <polpak> redondos, err a look rather
[04:15] <redondos> intelikey: ohh... what type of archive is it, paxmaster?
[04:15] <ClayG> redondos I came before the question was asked, was that a suggestion to get a computer that will not boot from the normal cd , to work?
[04:15] <gleesond> ok thanks.
[04:15] <redondos> ClayG: no clue.
[04:15] <ClayG> What did you mean by the words " Only use it for booting your ubuntu installation"
[04:15] <redondos> no, ClayG.
[04:16] <ClayG> WHy wouldnt he use the reg cd to boot?
[04:16] <redondos> it was a suggestion to boot an ubuntu installation without having to install LILO or GRUB.
[04:16] <ClayG> ah ok
[04:16] <ClayG> what is a fast burner for burning dvd iso's?
[04:16] <redondos> but there's a tool that boots from floppy and lets you boot a cd from there.
[04:16] <redondos> ClayG: k3b rocks.
[04:17] <redondos> or... gnomebaker.
[04:17] <ClayG> Using gnomebaker now, before i just right clicked and selected rigth to disk
[04:17] <ClayG> the write do disk worked but took almost half an hour, in windows it's about 8 minutes
[04:17] <ClayG> I'll have to try k3b nextr
[04:17] <redondos> heh
[04:18] <redondos> k3b is more powerful, but don't install it unless you already have some kde apps installed.
[04:18] <ClayG> I have kde installed
[04:18] <redondos> ok
[04:18] <redondos> good
[04:18] <trkorecky> Is there a way to increase boot time?  It's not to quick on this old machine
[04:18] <redondos> trkorecky: yup
[04:18] <redondos> trkorecky: it's called "New CPU" and "More RAM"
[04:18] <redondos> :)
[04:19] <trkorecky> redondos: Is that it?
[04:19] <MrFarts> trkorecky, increase boot time ? :)
[04:19] <_jason> increasing is easy I think
[04:19] <redondos> trkorecky: pretty much
[04:19] <ClayG> I think he means decrease or increase the speed
[04:19] <Varanger> hello
[04:19] <trkorecky> Yeah, decrease time, increase speed.
[04:19] <redondos> intelikey: haha
[04:19] <MrFarts> trkorecky, how often do you boot ?
[04:19] <trkorecky> Lack of sleep definately screws with a person
[04:19] <ClayG> dont sniff OC
[04:19] <Varanger> I have installed Breezy but I don't know how to install amule (sudo apt-get install amule)
[04:19] <redondos> trkorecky: don't reboot so often. waste resources, they came to the world to be used. (just kidding)
[04:19] <Varanger> is it included???
[04:20] <MrFarts> Varanger, it's in the multiverse repository airc
[04:20] <redondos> Varanger: have you already added some new repositories?
[04:20] <trkorecky> So, other than new hardware, there isn't a way?
[04:20] <Varanger> MrFarts: How can I add it ?
[04:20] <Varanger> redondos: I haven't installed any repository
[04:20] <MrFarts> sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:20] <redondos> trkorecky: well, you could stop some daemons from running... then configure your own minimalistic kernel. but that won't help much.
[04:20] <ClayG> someone give him a source file
[04:20] <redondos> Varanger: read:
[04:20] <MrFarts> add in "multiverse'
[04:20] <redondos> !repositories
[04:20] <ubotu> repositories is, like, totally, How to add repositories:  http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto See !sources for example sources.list
[04:21] <intelikey> trkorecky there isn't really much you can do to expedite the boot process,  but you should not need to boot more than one time per day at the very most.
[04:21] <trkorecky> Alright, guess it's alright then.  Thanks!
[04:21] <intelikey> this is not the micro-reboot os
[04:22] <ClayG> Yeah I need a stripped down version of ubuntu, i love how i hear about people using it on old p-90's but everytime i put it or any other distro on anything shy of a 500 it barely moves
[04:22] <ClayG> seems like XP runs faster , which is crazy
[04:22] <intelikey> redondos you know the repos info node gives sources also ?
[04:23] <redondos> It's good that developers and packagers come help, too. I saw crimsun tossing answers like mad a little earlier. That makes more people stay using ubuntu.
[04:23] <redondos> infralite: oh
[04:23] <redondos> didn't know that :|
[04:23] <intelikey> :)
[04:24] <intelikey> !repos
[04:24] <ubotu> extra, extra, read all about it, repos is http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/AddingRepositoriesHowto - Official sources.lists here http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/969 (Hoary) or http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/2325 (Breezy) see also !easysource
[04:24] <redondos> ClayG: that can't be true. install xubuntu instead, see if it helps. in any case, any open source desktop environment / window manager will run faster than winblows xp.
[04:24] <xxvii> can anyone tell me the name of the sound program that runs in the background of Gnome? i need to kill it
[04:24] <blanky> I installed php, where is it located
[04:24] <redondos> intelikey: thanks, will use it from now on :)
[04:25] <redondos> xxvii:  esd
[04:25] <crimsun> ecobuntu: yes, it's a known issue
[04:25] <xxvii> redondos: yup, thanks
[04:25] <ecobuntu> ok
[04:25] <xxvii> redondos: couldnt remember
[04:25] <ecobuntu> just don't want to file the same bug twicer
[04:25] <ClayG> I have xubuntu but I can't get it to work
[04:25] <intelikey> ClayG also not loading modules that there is no actual hardware helps on older boxes.    this one is a p1 133 mmx  :)
[04:25] <redondos> np, xx
[04:25] <ClayG> I mean the old computer the one i want to put it one wont read the cd on boot
[04:25] <ClayG> the other one, is my GF's and she has since went back to xp
[04:26] <ClayG> I need to get the program you were talking about that allows it to boot from floppy
[04:26] <intelikey> ClayG google loadlin
[04:26] <Phuzion> blanky:  php is loacted at /etc/php4 (or php5, if that's what you installed)
[04:26] <blanky> thanks
[04:26] <intelikey> or loadlin.exe
[04:27] <redondos> ClayG: that's right
[04:27] <harris> is there a good notepad type program out there?
[04:27] <pztak> i'm having trouble with recompiling the vanilla kernel
[04:28] <redondos> harris: try gedit and kate.
[04:28] <redondos> pztak: bummer
[04:28] <harris> thanks... redondos
[04:28] <xxvii> redondos: hey, i'm having trouble with every media player i've used.. none of them will play internet radio >.<
[04:28] <redondos> yw, harris
[04:28] <ClayG> yeah my mplayer sucks balls
[04:28] <redondos> xxvii: hrm, you probably don't have the necessary codecs.
[04:28] <pztak> i get a fatal error when i try to use it about ext3 module.. even though i put it as 'Y'
[04:28] <ClayG> so does totem, I want to slap totem
[04:29] <redondos> ClayG: don't talk dirty about mplayer with me reading >:(
[04:29] <ecobuntu> ClayG: what do you use?
[04:29] <intelikey> with loadlin you can boot a dos floppy  and load any kernel + initrd that the dos system can access.   thus by copying the cd kernel and initrd to the windows partition you could boot it even without cdrom drivers loaded.
[04:29] <ClayG> For what?
[04:29] <Varanger> redondos: Do I need the breezy-backports ??
[04:29] <redondos> no, Varanger.
[04:29] <xxvii> redondos: which ones are needed for streaming audio? i've downloaded ones to play DVDs, avis, wmvs.. files like that.. nothing specifically for streaming audio though
[04:29] <ClayG> I dont use anything, mplayer wont even work, wont work on webpages
[04:30] <ClayG> and totem never works
[04:30] <pppoe_dude> hi, what is the best filesystem to use on a usb thumb drive? ext2 and ext3 seem to constantly write to the drive
[04:30] <intelikey> ibb
[04:30] <ClayG> xine doesn't work either come to think of it, it will play a dvd but the video with be choppy
[04:30] <redondos> xxvii: depends on the codec they used to encode the feed. try installing libogg
[04:30] <xxvii> redondos: thanks
[04:31] <ClayG> xxvii, dont know if this will help but do you have gstreamer?
[04:31] <xxvii> ClayG: yup
[04:31] <redondos> pppoe_dude: hrm... most people just use vfat for their usb drives
[04:31] <pppoe_dude> redondos: i don't like vfat tho...
[04:32] <MrFarts> pppoe_dude, what's wrong with vfat ?
[04:32] <pppoe_dude> isnt that too microsoftish?
[04:32] <mtnbkr_> hello... Can user settings be saved to USB drive etc when running ubuntu LIVE on PPC?
[04:32] <MrFarts> pppoe_dude, i'd just use whatever works, honestly :)
[04:32] <Kibou> your usb thumb drive will like it though
[04:32] <redondos> pppoe_dude: then be happy and use ext2 :)
[04:32] <pppoe_dude> what about minix?
[04:32] <MrFarts> you don't need a sophisticated FS for a usb thumb drive
[04:32] <xxvii> what are some other xwindows? like gnome and kde.. what's the others? can't remember the names
[04:32] <pppoe_dude> MrFarts, i know, but i also dont like fat
[04:33] <MrFarts> pppoe_dude, i think you should use QNX filesystem
[04:33] <MrFarts> pppoe_dude, or perhaps System 7
[04:33] <MrFarts> system 7 is probably what you really want
[04:33] <redondos> xxvii: gnome and kde are desktop environments. another one is xfce.
[04:33] <Varanger> redondos: I followed the instructions but I don't find the checkboxes for multiverse, just universe... should I add it manually ??
[04:34] <xxvii> redondos: yea.. that's the one.. thanks again man. this is a refresher course for me.. havent used linux for a while, just reinstalled yesterday
[04:34] <redondos> xxvii: those desktop environments make use of window managers: metacity, kwin and xfwm, respectively. some others are enlightenment, fluxbox, ratpoison, iceWM, there are many more...
[04:34] <redondos> Varanger: yeah just add it. I haven't used synaptic for a while, but I guess you could just do that.
[04:35] <redondos> Varanger: oh, better yet. edit the one you see.
[04:35] <redondos> Varanger: When editing, you'll see a checkbox for Multiverse. Check it.
[04:35] <pppoe_dude> what about UFS?
[04:35] <pppoe_dude> no support on linux i guess... i just hate the probing every 10 seconds
[04:36] <Varanger> redondos: There is no checkbox for multiverse, just universe
[04:36] <Varanger> redondos: I'd better add it manually
[04:36] <xxvii> alright, i'm out.. i'm sure i'll be back with more questions.. thanks redondos
[04:36] <redondos> Varanger: all right.
[04:36] <redondos> xxvii: you're welcome. night.
[04:36] <ClayG> mine my dvd burner doesn't want to burn higher than 2x
[04:37] <crimsun> Varanger: sure there is in System> Administration> Synaptic> Settings> Repositories> Add> non-free
[04:37] <redondos> I'm out for a while. Later, guys.
[04:37] <crimsun> bye
[04:37] <redondos> bye, helping developer/packager :)
[04:40] <comradevik> is there some kind of screen recorder for linux
[04:41] <intelikey> screen shots ?
[04:41] <comradevik> no in video format
[04:41] <intelikey> oh.   idk
[04:41] <comradevik> there is istanbul
[04:41] <comradevik> but it wont work with blender
[04:42] <crimsun> Varanger: hi. Please don't message me in private, thanks.
[04:42] <comradevik> i'm trying to record a video of blender
[04:42] <Varanger> crimsun: Ok, I was about to tell you that the problem with ALSA was automatically fixed with Breezy
[04:43] <Varanger> crimsun: just that
[04:43] <crimsun> Varanger: great, thanks.
[04:45] <BadMackTuck> has anyone else noticed that sometimes pages with embedded media crash firefox?
[04:46] <BadMackTuck> is there a workaround for this?
[04:46] <Siph0n> BadMackTuck: i noticed that too
[04:46] <comradevik> BadMackTuck.. like myspace?
[04:46] <Siph0n> even with some plugins.... hopefully someone knows away around
[04:46] <BadMackTuck> oh god yes
[04:46] <Siph0n> yea myspace! :)
[04:46] <Siph0n> lol
[04:46] <comradevik> there will be a fix in the final release of the new firefox
[04:46] <BadMackTuck> at the risk of sounding like a total n00b, yeah myspace
[04:47] <BadMackTuck> thank you comrade, that was really quick
[04:47] <comradevik> i had to install mozilla on my friend's ubuntu because he was complaining his myspace was crashing :-D
[04:47] <BadMackTuck> wll, its not that important... yet
[04:47] <Siph0n> sweet k.... yeah im glad its not only me :)
[04:47] <comradevik> btw BadMackTuck try flock browser
[04:48] <comradevik> warks flowlessly .. and is jsut as firefox
[04:48] <Siph0n> Siph0n too :)
[04:48] <BadMackTuck> oh yeah ive heard a lot about that, havent tried it yet
[04:48] <mtnbkr_> hello... Can user settings be saved to USB drive when running ubuntu LIVE on PPC?
[04:48] <ClayG> lets see how k3b stacks up against gbaker
[04:48] <mtnbkr_> k3b is pretty slick.
[04:48] <ClayG> flashing light again, damn
[04:48] <ClayG> yeah both look decent but when i goto burn i the light flashes on and off, still burns but slowly
[04:49] <comradevik> mtnbaker.. why not use knoppix for liveCd sessions
[04:49] <comradevik> not to diss ubuntu but noppix liveCD works better
[04:49] <mtnbkr_> am installing unbunto on wife's PC and wanted to try it on my powerbook to get familiar with it.
[04:49] <synackuator> so does anyone know the purpose of using a nitro / vanilla kernel is?
[04:50] <mtnbkr_> yeah, I have used knoppix before  very nice indeed
[04:50] <jonathan_> hey
[04:50] <BadMackTuck> knoppix is cool, i always was partial to dyne:bolic though. not sure why
[04:51] <mtnbkr_> comradevik: I have been hearing so many good things about ubuntu lately I needed to look into it. :)
[04:51] <mtnbkr_> Surely I can't install gentoo Linux or FreeBSD on her laptop hehe
[04:51] <lgc> Hello all from Mexico! Could anyone give me some help regarding my wireless connection?
[04:51] <mtnbkr_> or maybe.....
[04:51] <pppoe_dude> how can I make sure that vfat formats on my usb disk properly? mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1 only takes 2 seconds and doesnt seem to do much writing
[04:52] <mtnbkr_> ppoe_dude: try mounting it. :)
[04:52] <comradevik> mtnbkr_ ubuntu is great .. its jsut that if u want to use a liveCd knoppix was designed to be one
[04:52] <intelikey> fsck.vfat /dev/sda1    maybe.
[04:52] <comradevik> ubuntu livecd is good to check out and test hardware
[04:53] <CarlFK> hoary box: what do I do to fix "svnlook: error: environment variable LANG is en_GB.UTF-8" ?
[04:53] <intelikey> pppoe_dude ^
[04:53] <lgc> Hello Anyone!
[04:53] <mtnbkr_> comradevik:  Well, when I went to get the ubuntu x86 for her, I noticed the ubuntu live CDs and thought WOW! Maybe this will be like Knoppix - with support for saving setting on USB thumb drive..  If not, that is cool, and I will go back to Knoppix
[04:53] <jsubl2> hello lgc
[04:54] <lgc> jsubl2, hello. finally!
[04:54] <jsubl2> so.. what is going on lgc
[04:54] <lgc> jsubl2, are you familiar with wireless links?
[04:55] <jsubl2> nope sorry lgc
[04:55] <pppoe_dude> intelikey k
[04:55] <comradevik> mtnbkr_ imho knoppix loads faster and stuff.. what i do tho is use the ubuntu live cd at school to log on and SSH to my comp and work from there :)
[04:55] <comradevik> works great
[04:55] <lgc> jsubl2, is there anyone you know here who happens to know the subject?
[04:55] <jsubl2> lgc  all communication in this house ends up wireless.. but i do not manage it the isp does
[04:56] <jsubl2> lgc did you try the wiki.ubuntu.com  sometime you get lucky and there is some good info there
[04:56] <lgc> jsubl2, but you have to use your own wireless client,
[04:56] <intelikey> !wireless
[04:56] <ubotu> extra, extra, read all about it, wireless is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCards
[04:56] <mtnbkr_> thanks comradevik... Got to run for now
[04:56] <jsubl2> lgc https://wiki.ubuntu.com/?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=wireless&titlesearch=Titles
[04:57] <redondos> jsubl2: your ISP configures you ubuntu system?
[04:57] <jsubl2> redondos, no they just provide the means for me to connect to the internet.. hardwired to his antennae on my roof
[04:57] <redondos> lgc: what do you want to know? perhaps I can help you
[04:58] <redondos> jsubl2: ...just what an ISP needs to do. great
[04:58] <lgc> jsubl, I'm trying to open that page now.
[04:58] <jsubl2> redondos, yeah it works real well.
[04:58] <comradevik> i contacted my ISP and they wre like "we don't support linux, bye"
[04:58] <intelikey> redondos very secure wireless of course....
[04:59] <Siph0n> can someone please look at my output in #flood to see whats wrong?
[04:59] <lgc> redondos, the problem is that after a while (sometimes a short, sometimes a long while) the wireless link from my laptop goes dead.
[04:59] <harris> is there an anti virus program for linux or do you not have to worry about getting virues?
[04:59] <foampeac1> comradevik: they will soon
[04:59] <foampeac1> insert coin > ubuntu
[04:59] <pppoe_dude> ok.... then thing is that I have 2 almost identical usb thumb drives, same brand, but one is 512 MB and the other is 1GB. They seem to behave quite differently when plugged in. both had ext2 fs, 512 one lights up a little bit, but the 1gb one lights up for 2 seconds and keeps doing the same lighting pattern every 20 seconds or so
[05:00] <redondos> intelikey: I'm sure, heh
[05:00] <jsubl2> harris worry about virus' if you are serving mail to windows clients
[05:00] <redondos> harris: no virus here.
[05:00] <redondos> lgc: does this happen with other wireless devices connected to your access point?
[05:00] <harris> meaning there not written for the linux kernal ?
[05:00] <intelikey> harris unless you run a server of some kind.   virii are a micro-reboot issue.
[05:01] <foampeac1> pppoe_dude: are you fixing pppoe?
[05:01] <BadMackTuck> is there a good vpn manager for ubuntu?
[05:01] <harris> i'm not running a server
[05:01] <pppoe_dude> foampeac1 fixing what?
[05:01] <lgc> redondos, the laptop is  the only wireless item around
[05:01] <redondos> foampeac1: he's the specialist here.
[05:01] <jsubl2> harris cool then you will probably not need virus checking or spyware checking
[05:01] <harris> how come no one writes virueses that effect linux?
[05:01] <redondos> lgc: I'd -as a prevention method- blame the access point for now, until it is proven contrary.
[05:02] <harris> cool jsubl2
[05:02] <jsubl2> harris, small percent of the market..
[05:02] <redondos> lgc: so go get a friend's laptop and see if it happens.
[05:02] <lgc> redondos, but how can I prove that?
[05:02] <intelikey> harris if you want to give it a shot feel free.
[05:02] <harris> lol,
[05:02] <redondos> lgc: ^ that way ^
[05:02] <foampeac1> pppoe_dude: maybe a gui config app?
[05:02] <lgc> redondos, thab
[05:03] <Madpilot> harris: the malware would have to know your pw to do real damage...
[05:03] <harris> ya I guess that's a good point jsubl2
[05:03] <harris> pw?
[05:03] <pppoe_dude> i mean, are these bad signs? whenever I do anything on the 1gb stick, it does the same activity light patter... the 512 one is more like a harddisk
[05:03] <redondos> lgc: in fact, if it really is that you could feel lucky, since it's the less-headaching problem
[05:03] <intelikey> and that wouldn't even be an issue if you apt-get remove sudo   lol
[05:03] <lgc> redondos, oops! thanks. I do get an IPW2200 fatal error at boot time. And it usually takes forever at the "configuring network interfaces" step.
[05:04] <Madpilot> harris: password
[05:04] <pppoe_dude> foampeac1: I acquired this nickname 3 years ago, when I wanted to fix my pppoe, now i have cable
[05:04] <Hentai^NT> harris it would need root access
[05:04] <harris> gottcha, i never thought about that
[05:04] <pawan> default breezy has modules like tpm ide_generic etc lying around. How do I remove them so that they don't start up? Also, how can I rtfm about what these modules actually do ?
[05:04] <foampeac1> http://distrowatch.com/
[05:04] <redondos> lgc: ah, well.. what error?
[05:04] <Hentai^NT> same thing on windows
[05:05] <Hentai^NT> but thats for offtopic
[05:05] <redondos> pppoe_dude: it must have taken you a lot of time for you to fix your DSL line if that nickname prevailed because you got used to it
