[01:31] <Shafto> kenthomson, I only ever ran feisty, using external repos to get the nvidia drivers, never used the ones in ubuntu repos
[01:32] <HymnToLife> !caps | kenthomson
[01:32] <ubotu> kenthomson: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[01:32] <[Flux] > the 0.20.0
[01:32] <[Flux] > or whatever it is
[01:32] <kenthomson> HymnToLife: no ones seems to be doing it and go ahead and do !attitude while you are at it
[01:32] <ajmorris_> kenthomson, what is wrong with your x
[01:32] <kenthomson> ajmorris_: My X SERVER Fails: "Error API the nvidia kernel module has the version 1.0-9755 but this X module has the version 1.0-9631. Make sure that the same version exist in both". My system is unbootalbe and X Can't start. i haven't added anything via 3rd part repos. PLease help me get A GUI BACK
[01:33] <Smygis> Dremth, w00t? Beryl and the vesa or nv driver, impossible! Did you mark the resulutions with [Space] ?
[01:33] <ajmorris_> kenthomson, in ur xorg.conf file have you changed your driver from from nv to nvidia?
[01:33] <QS_E> is there anyone that can give me a hand with awk?
[01:33] <gmanic> i'm trying to get asterisk with asterisk-chan-capi to work, but if i put load=>chan_capi in the modules.conf asterisk bails out with: (asterisk-log) loader.c: /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/chan_capi.so: undefined symbol: ast_pickup_ext; bug is filed, but no response so far; any ideas?
[01:33] <kust0m> QS_E: such as?
[01:33] <asgoo> when downloading an o/s image, do i wanta  package install, or a minimal install? or should i stick with a live cd?
[01:33] <Dremth> smygis, err.... i was supposed to mark it with space? i was just hitting enter......
[01:33] <huwr> Anyone got any experience with running Ubuntu under Parallels?
[01:33] <ajmorris_> [Flux]  from feisty repos? or the ones from beryl-project.org
[01:34] <Smygis> Dremth, :D
[01:34] <Dremth> smygis, :D that would be a problem i guess
[01:34] <kenthomson> ajmorris_: i installed the nvidia-glx package via checking-on at the Restricted Drivers Manager, and that wizard automatically changed nv to nvidia for me, i ain't done anything manually
[01:34] <Shafto> asgoo, Well it depends, livecd is probably the easiest for most, unless your on notebook
[01:34] <QS_E> I am trying to access script defined variables in awk, The script defined the MO DA and YR variables and then I wanted to run awk to use these variables as patterns to scan for
[01:34] <QS_E> so
[01:34] <QS_E> awk ' $3 ~ /${MO}/ && $4 ~ /${DA}/ && $5 ~ /${YR}/ {print $0}' $FILE;
[01:34] <sacater> doom3 goooood
[01:34] <dchky> try apt-get update linux-restricted-modules-`uname -a` kenthomson
[01:34] <[Flux] > from beryl-project.org
[01:34] <sacater> sorry
[01:34] <sacater> wrong channel
[01:34] <kenthomson> dchky: ok
[01:34] <[Flux] > the ones from fiesty repos wouldnt work for me
[01:34] <Dremth> smygis, well, im gonna try now
[01:34] <ajmorris_> kenthomson, what error messages do you get from trying to start x from a shell, via the startx command
[01:35] <kenthomson> dchky: the update command takes no arguments
[01:35] <asgoo> Shafto: yeh im on a laptop, i installed ubuntu with a live cd though. what is the difference between a package install and a minimal install?
[01:35] <QS_E> the variables are defined further up in the same function as the month year and day entered by the user
[01:35] <skk> Hi, I installed feisty a few days ago and am having problems with an App that requires me to export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 to run it. However, after exporting it, the app compalains that it cannot load libc.so.6 and even ls fails as it cannot load librt.so.1 . Both files do exist however so where is the problem?
[01:35] <[Flux] > i gotta install extras to get snow
[01:35] <[Flux] > found what i needed :)
[01:35] <dchky> hmmm. I've had that same problem a bunch of times after updates.
[01:35] <kenthomson> ajmorris_: y X SERVER Fails: "Error API the nvidia kernel module has the version 1.0-9755 but this X module has the version 1.0-9631. Make sure that the same version exist in both".
[01:35] <ajmorris_> [Flux]  :)
[01:35] <kust0m> QS_E: eh..not real swift with awk..but what if you put them in single quotes? '$1' for example?
[01:35] <Shafto> asgoo, Minimal will just install a cli, packages is probably just additional packages you might require
[01:35] <Dremth> smygis, pwnage. it works now :)
[01:36] <Smygis> :)
[01:36] <Dremth> smygis, thanks again!
[01:36] <[Flux] > gah ubuntu really wants to upgrade beryl
[01:36] <[Flux] > lol
[01:36] <[Flux] > the update notice wont go away lol
[01:36] <poje> It's angry at you [Flux]
[01:37] <kenthomson> i am STUCK, can anyone HELP?
[01:37] <[Flux] > yes lol
[01:37] <QS_E> no that still refuses to accept the values
[01:37] <sebo> hey...one little question. do i need xgl for using compiz/beryl?
[01:38] <Dremth> i have one more question: is there a way to, maybe, remove the Places menus bar, and/or make the applications menu bar have no text, just the icon?
[01:38] <dchky> It's not a trivial problem kenthomson - when it has happened to me I ended up removing nvidia-glx updating the kernel modules and then sticking nvidia-glx back in there.
[01:38] <Jammeri> sebo, nope
[01:38] <imagine> sebo: no can also use aiglx
[01:38] <kenthomson> dchky: i did it no use
[01:38] <QS_E> thanks anyway kust0m
[01:38] <kenthomson> Dremth: right click on the menu bar and "remove from panel". than on a blank space in gnome-panel right click--> Add to panel and selecy the other menu icon
[01:38] <dchky> Sorry, it's one of those things that I figure out when it happens, I don't quite remember the steps I went through.
[01:39] <kenthomson> sebo: feisty?
[01:39] <sebo> I have an ati-card and fglrx-driver. but I can't use the composite-extension.
[01:39] <sebo> yes, feisty.
[01:39] <rverrips> Dremth - Pretty simple ... Right click on Panel, Select "Add Panel" and add the "Main Menu" item.  This is a Menu Icon which has the Place within it ...
[01:39] <kenthomson> sebo: i can't help you
[01:39] <imagine> what ati card?
[01:39] <sebo> kenthomson: ok,thx =(
[01:39] <sebo> imagine: ati mobility x700
[01:39] <Dremth> ah, i see
[01:39] <Dremth> cool. thanks
[01:40] <dchky> Wait, I ended up downloading the nvidia driver from their website.
[01:40] <kenthomson> can anyone YYHELP me?
[01:40] <kenthomson> dchky: that's really bad
[01:40] <_Chap_> sebo just got my ati working with the fglrx
[01:40] <dchky> Only problem is you need to recompile it each time the kernel is updated.
[01:40] <rverrips> Sebo - are you using the Ubuntu driver or did you download one from ATI?
[01:40] <_Chap_> widescreen laptop
[01:40] <kenthomson> dchky: tha;s why i called it very bad
[01:40] <to0om> hi all
[01:40] <sebo> _chap_: oh. what is your secret? =)
[01:41] <kenthomson> ++
[01:41] <giggsey> Does the ubuntu install have a partitioner, and is it recommended that I resize my current NTFS partition
[01:41] <kenthomson>  |
[01:41] <dchky> You're right, it'd be much better if it just worked, though the nvidia driver is fairly easy to get going.
[01:41] <_Chap_> sebo ill tell u anythin u wanna know - i got it from ubuntu - not ati
[01:41] <dchky> giggsey: - how big is your hard drive now? how much free space do you have?
[01:41] <kenthomson> giggsey: it has a partition editor System>Administration>Gparted
[01:41] <sebo> rverrips: I think the ubuntu driver. I got it from the restricted-manager
[01:41] <giggsey> dchky, I have a 40GB HDD, with 17GB free, but I'm going to use 10 for ubuntu
[01:41] <rverrips> Giggsey - It's call GParted (similar to Partition Magic) - If you have the spare space, rather don't resize NTFS - If not, make sure you have a backup and run defrag before and after
[01:41] <[Flux] > yay its snowing!
[01:41] <kenthomson> giggsey: it is not recommended to resize NTFS partition by using any partition program, but you can take the gamble if you wish, i didn't have a problem
[01:41] <nonewmsgs> with gpart you have to run it from command line not the menu though (otherwise it will give you a nonroot error)
[01:42] <rverrips> Sebo - Which version of Ubuntu?
[01:42] <nonewmsgs> i think all partition managers are like that
[01:42] <kenthomson> nonewmsgs: thats absolute crap
[01:42] <to0om> a question: given that i have a notebook with an intel core 2 duo processor, can i use the amd64 version of ubuntu then? or does it only work with i386?
[01:42] <USMarine> to0om yes
[01:42] <sebo> rverrips: feisty
[01:42] <giggsey> kenthomson, don't really want to risk my data though
[01:42] <nonewmsgs> t kenthomson i just encountered that 5 seconds ago
[01:42] <giggsey> If it was a fresh drive, I wouldn't hesistate
[01:42] <rverrips> Did you get Feisty as release version of during beta / upgrade?
[01:42] <to0om> USMarine: yes to what? :)
[01:42] <kenthomson> nonewmsgs: i have done it 1000s of times and never got a non-root error
[01:42] <alduntu> # vmware
[01:42] <USMarine> can i use the amd64 version of ubuntu then?
[01:42] <sebo> rverrips: release version
[01:43] <alduntu> login vmware
[01:43] <kenthomson> nonewmsgs: by if you get one do "gksudo gparted"
[01:43] <[Flux] > its funny to be typing and trying to see through the snow
[01:43] <_Chap_> the rest was cake - i had to add         Option  "Composite" "0" (is that ur issue)?
[01:43] <[Flux] > i let it go over windows lol
[01:43] <sebo> _Chap_: I got that also, in the xorg.conf. I don't know where the problem is =(
[01:43] <nonewmsgs> kenthomson i need to remember that i always forget command
[01:43] <to0om> USMarine: so the amd64 version is compatible with every 64 bit processor made by amd AND intel, right?
[01:44] <_Chap_> sebo - so ur working from the same docs - ATI/bin
[01:44] <imagine> shouldnt the x700 also work with the free radeon driver?
[01:44] <USMarine> to0om seems logical
[01:44] <kenthomson> can annyyyoooonnnneeeEE help me get my X SERVER BACK ;'-(
[01:44] <imagine> at least the desktop version does
[01:44] <_Chap_> sebo and its widesrn?
[01:45] <sebo> _Chap_: its widescreen, yes. that ATI/bin thingy..dunno =( my linux eperience is now 4 days old =(
[01:45] <rverrips> Sedo - Strange?  During beta and stuff with Feisty there was an option for "restricted drivers installation" but release version ships with open-source drivers ... in your /etc/xorg.conf, what is the value "driver" under the "Device" section?
[01:45] <_Chap_> sebo ok - go to the help.ubuntu community site
[01:45] <sebo> imagine: I think radeon should work too, but in a wiki, I have read, that there could be some problems
[01:45] <_Chap_> search for ati binary
[01:45] <kenthomson> i-ii-iii-iiii-iiiii-iiiiii-iiiiiiii-iiiiiiii-iiiiiiii-iiiiiiiiii. No-one is going to help me get X back? :(
[01:45] <dchky> I wonder what elvis would do.
[01:46] <_Chap_> theres a few little things along the  way
[01:46] <imagine> there are some problems with videos iirc
[01:46] <_Chap_> Kent wassup ?
[01:46] <dchky> kenthomson: nvidia.com - download and install, it'll save you pulling your hair out every damn time they do an update.
[01:46] <_Chap_> Ive been in a nd out of X all day
[01:46] <sebo> rverrips: "fglrx"
[01:46] <kenthomson> dchky: thats unpractical because kernel updates would mean reinstallation of driver everytime
[01:47] <kenthomson> _Chap_: My X SERVER Fails: "Error API the nvidia kernel module has the version 1.0-9755 but this X module has the version 1.0-9631. Make sure that the same version exist in both". My system is unbootalbe and X Can't start. i haven't added anything via 3rd part repos. PLease help me get A GUI BACK
[01:47] <kust0m> kenthomson: and being a spaz is completely practical.
[01:47] <sebo> _Chap_: I will check out, thx
[01:47] <kenthomson> kust0m: when one is at wit's end pragmatism gives way to eccentricity :(
[01:47] <kust0m> you could try the other person's suggestion if you're at your "wit's end"
[01:48] <kust0m> just a thought.
[01:48] <_Chap_> sebo https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[01:48] <dchky> kenthomson: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf search for Driver "nvidia" and replace the nvidia with "nv"
[01:48] <dchky> restart X and it'll work
[01:48] <kenthomson> dchky: i want a NVIDIA driver in my X
[01:48] <imagine> i had compiz running with a radeon 9600pro and the free driver
[01:48] <nonewmsgs> nvidia and nv are both nvidia drivers
[01:48] <imagine> but cant help u with the fglrx driver
[01:48] <_Chap_> just go step - by step and get it from ubuntu (not ATI) thats what worked for me - or if that bombs go through it all over w/ atis
[01:48] <nonewmsgs> kenthomson nvidia is just the open source driver
[01:48] <kenthomson> nonewmsgs: HA HA HA
[01:49] <beanie> nv = opensource (not from nvidia) nvidia=closed source from nvidia
[01:49] <beanie> stfu nonewmsgs
[01:49] <_Chap_> KenT - i will step up if ur ready
[01:49] <moDumass> hey all, my clock is way out of wack, and even when i set it, it stays out of wack
[01:49] <kenthomson> _Chap_: the stage is all yours my friend
[01:49] <nonewmsgs> beanie: my bad
[01:49] <_Chap_> in the name of all the brave nerds who helped me
[01:49] <dchky> He said he wanted X working, sorry, didn't specify nvidia until a little later.
[01:49] <ce_penggoda> _chap
[01:49] <sebo> _Chap_: is fglrx the ubuntu-driver?
[01:50] <imagine> fglrx == proprietary driver from amd (former ati)
[01:50] <kenthomson> beanie: could you repeat that last statement in bold and caps, please?
[01:50] <moDumass> ok, dont worry i closed it and re opened it and it seems fine now
[01:50] <herbaliser> is there a linux tool to fix errors on an ntfs partition?
[01:50] <Horscht> !compiz
[01:50] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[01:50] <herbaliser> besides ntfsfix
[01:50] <kenthomson> !ntfs-3gg
[01:50] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ntfs-3gg - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:50] <sebo> imagine: oh..so I got the wrong one? damn.
[01:50] <kenthomson> !ntfs-3g
[01:50] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[01:51] <Dicey> quick question - How big is the Edgy Kubuntu desktop. I have 2.5 gigs left on root.
[01:51] <imagine> herbaliser: i only know the ntfsprogs package
[01:51] <imagine> sebo: i dont know what u got :)
[01:51] <herbaliser> already tryed that one
[01:51] <clojster> hi, what happenned to the openoffice quickstart applet in Feisty? How can I get it to work again?
[01:51] <kenthomson> herbaliser: i don't know if this one fixes errors or even works properly but it is there
[01:51] <rverrips> fglrx is the open-source driver for ATI - That has some issues with Composite - http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Installation_Guide is a guide for it - the default driver is ati and that works without glitches, but performance (particularly 3D) is really bad.  Hope that helps
[01:51] <alduntu> hello
[01:52] <alduntu> i havent permission for windows XP Home Edition-0. vmdk, how i can give permiss, thanks
[01:52] <alduntu> some body can help me?
[01:52] <DjViper> alduntu: huh?
[01:52] <kust0m> alduntu: what?
[01:52] <trpr> Dicey: it took 1gig in downloads and used up 200mb more than dapper by the time it was complete.

[01:52] <trpr> Dicey: i just got done with it
[01:52] <alduntu> when i like mount one virtual machine with vm toldme this i havent permission for windows XP Home Edition-0. vmdk, how i can give permiss, thanks
[01:53] <herbaliser> kenthomson ntfs-3g is for mounting doesn't fix errors.  and the ntfsfix util doesn't work
[01:53] <DjViper> alduntu: log into winxp as administrator
[01:53] <Dicey> okay, thanks.
[01:53] <dchky> I thought ntfsfix only marked the partition as needing a check the next time you booted in to windows?
[01:53] <DjViper> alduntu: but im not 100% sure you CAN run vmware from home edition
[01:53] <sebo> ok, thank you guys. I will read the wikis =) ciao

[02:03] <clojster> anyone here using openoffice quickstarter applet?
[02:03] <cwillu_> ah, the sounds of a new release :p
[02:03] <cwillu_> clojster, yep
[02:03] <jburd> I'm trying to get my resolution to be higher than 1024x768 for an Intel 865G graphics card.  How does one go about doing that?
[02:03] <clojster> cwillu_: is it working for you in Feisty?
[02:03] <[Flux] > my brother in law just spent 3k on a new computer thats running vista
[02:04] <[Flux] > and my desktop > his
[02:04] <[Flux] > i cant wait to rub it in lo
[02:04] <cwillu_> clojster, tricky to answer :p, one sec
[02:04] <Pelo> jburb  you need to edit your xorg.conf file and add the extra res manualy,  you may also have to change the hor sync if you are using a CRT , well I did anyway
[02:04] <cwillu_> clojster, switched to kde about a month ago, had some difficulty there, but the native one worked fine while I was still running gnome in the feisty test builds
[02:04] <dchky> jburd: System -> Preferences -> Screen resolution - or edit your xorg.conf file.
[02:05] <ozzyparrot> ahh i just got my samsung  laser printer working  yay
[02:05] <Pelo> jburd,   gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:05] <clojster> cwillu_: I can't get it to work...
[02:05] <jburd> dchky, Screen Resolution only has 1024x768 at max.
[02:05] <ozzyparrot> anyone operate dual monitor
[02:05] <jburd> Pelo, ok.
[02:05] <cwillu_> clojster, what in particular are you running into?
[02:05] <sebo> huch
[02:06] <cwillu_> ozzyparrot, yep
[02:06] <clojster> cwillu_: no errors... just the applet doesn't appear in systray
[02:06] <[Flux] > now if i could get poker2d to work lol
[02:06] <jburd> Do I add "1280x1024" to all lines containing:  		Modes		"1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"  ?
[02:06] <jburd>  @ Pelo
[02:06] <cwillu_> clojster, are you using the quickstarter build into openoffice, or are you using a different package you installed?
[02:06] <dchky> Generally yes jburd, should work.
[02:06] <cwillu_> jburd, probably
[02:06] <_Chap_> kenT (if ur here) - http://friendlypenguin.wordpress.com/2007/04/22/feisty-and-nvidia/
[02:06] <Pelo> jburd,  yes,  follow the same syntax carefully

[02:11] <zero_> hey there
[02:11] <Pelo> frank_b,  check the forum this has never happend to me, but I have a fair idea that you will need to reinstall
[02:11] <mewt> because im having some performance probs, i tried adesklets but they suck pretty much and im looking for alternatives
[02:11] <_Chap_> sebo u did the aticonf stuff?
[02:11] <frank_b> Pelo, ok, thanks. I've tried reinstalling, yet same thing happens
[02:11] <_Chap_> sebo u did the aticonfig -- ..
[02:12] <aeonix> can i ask a really really stupid question?
[02:12] <dchky> how stupid is it?
[02:12] <sebo> _Chap_: no, didn't restart. and I didn't did aticonfig, I think.
[02:12] <ozzyparrot> lol
[02:12] <_Chap_> thats pretty much all that happens here anyway
[02:12] <cwillu_> dchky, really really stupid, he already said :p
[02:12] <aeonix> lol well how do i install a .rpm?
[02:12] <cwillu_> aoirthoir, just ask
[02:12] <cwillu_> bah
[02:12] <cwillu_> aeonix, just ask
[02:12] <karim> hey guys..
[02:12] <dchky> rpm -Uvh file.rpm
[02:13] <mewt> aeonix, what distro are you on ?
[02:13] <Pelo> frank_,  I'm thinking you have a media problem  damage sector or something,  repartitionning that partition from scratch, and reformatting it before reinstalling, and do it in several steps, ei reboot between removing the part and making a new one , and formating it
[02:13] <karim> i need help creating a channel for my new loco team...cam someone help
[02:13] <_Chap_> sebo - so u just got it  and thats it - are u at that page - do it according to their recipe..

[02:13] <aeonix> ummm i dont know i am on ubuntu 7.4
[02:13] <tld2> I need to backup a huge folder (about 100G).  Obviously this won't fit on one DVD.  Is there a good way to back it up to multiple DVDs?  Preferrably using standard ISO9660-format, so it could be read on other OSes?
[02:13] <Pelo> karim,   #help
[02:13] <tld2> (it's my digital photo archive)
[02:13] <cwillu_> aeonix, you really want to try to find a deb of it instead if you can, but the package 'alien' can sometimes make rpm's install, other times, it just breaks everything
[02:13] <dchky> aeonix: rpm's don't usually work out of the box in ubuntu.
[02:13] <_Chap_> sebo ok - so next comes the aticonfig
[02:13] <karim> #help
[02:13] <_Chap_> sebo wait - first depmod -a
[02:13] <mewt> aeonix, you cant actually install rpms on ubuntu, better search for a .deb if u can
[02:14] <aeonix> ok thanks
[02:14] <sebo> _Chap_: did that.
[02:14] <mewt> aeonix, else you can try alien as already said
[02:14] <sebo> _Chap_: ok, now aticonfig
[02:14] <frank_b> Pelo. that's what I think also, something wrong in the disk. thanks for your suggestion. I'll try it
[02:14] <sogen> Ysangkok: how i conver that pfd to svg?
[02:14] <JdGordon_> how do I get a acpi module going in feisty? my computer doesnt finish shutting down and I tihnk its because acpi_sbs isnt loaded

[02:15] <mewt> chili555, yep i did that
 no
[02:15] <Therese> Hello, anyone who can help me with my installation of Ubuntu desktop

[02:15] <sebo>  Nothing to do, terminating.
[02:15] <dchky> I tried to put hot naked tribal chicks in my suitcase, airport security didn't like the idea.
[02:15] <_Chap_> sebo - ur root?
[02:15] <JdGordon_> sebo: which card?
[02:15] <mewt> Therese, what is your problem ?
[02:15] <Pelo> Therese,  do you have anything specific you need help with ?
[02:15] <chili555> mewt then u can alien .deb, all others need not apply
[02:16] <_Chap_> sudo ; or sudo -s
[02:16] <mewt> lol
[02:16] <sebo> _Chap_: yes, I'm root
[02:16] <sogen> how i can conver with pstoedit ?
[02:16] <Therese> When installing it first loaded or something and then, now all that is is a black screen saying "[ 1671.315928 ]  Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 29907"
[02:16] <sebo> JdGordon_: ati mobility x700
[02:16] <Therese> I got tons of those messages
[02:17] <mewt> Therese, you probably have a damaged install cd
[02:17] <_Chap_> sebo - so it bombs on the initial or the overlay
[02:17] <sebo> Warning: Option 'VideoOverlay' doesn't affect running session. / Warning: Option 'OpenGLOverlay' doesn't affect running session.
[02:17] <mewt> Therese, tried checking it with the check cd option when the menu appears ?
[02:17] <Glenn`> How can I set the right charset for screen? When I run irssi in screen (and other clients, etc. BitchX), I can't see "" and so on. I have tried recode_out_default_charset, but it dosen't work. It work when I run only irssi, but not irssi in screen. Any tip?
[02:17] <Therese> mewt no
[02:17] <raphael_> is it possible to automatically login as a user without having to type login/pass?
[02:17] <Therese> I only pressed enter for install/star
[02:17] <mewt> Therese, try it, it will probably confirm that you have a badly burnt/damanged cd
[02:17] <b_e_n_z> raphael, yes
[02:17] <mewt> Therese, only option would be to reburn the image you downloaded to cd
[02:18] <JdGordon_> sebo: is that one really old? you might have the same problem as me... the fglrx version you need doesnt work with the 2.6.20 kernel...
[02:18] <raphael_> b_e_n_z: how?
[02:18] <Pelo> Glenn`,  you need utf-8  but how to do it in irssi I don't knwo you'd hve to ask in their channel
[02:18] <seraphim> raphael: system -> administration -> login
[02:18] <dchky> raphael_: System - Administration - Login Window
[02:18] <Therese> mewt: Thanks I'll try ti
[02:18] <b_e_n_z> raphael, Administration->Login Window
[02:18] <Therese> it
[02:18] <Glenn`> Pelo: It's not any problems with irssi, it's screen
[02:18] <dchky> Security tab - enable automatic login
[02:18] <Glenn`> or the terminal
[02:18] <crockodie-brb-> can someone help me?
[02:18] <sebo> JdGordon_: na, not really old, I think. my notebook is now 15months old.
[02:18] <coz_> anyone here see any advantages or disadvantages to using the lowlatency kernel in feisty

[02:28] <Esteth> hello. i'm using a script which starts a new X in another DISPLAY (without XGL) with a wine'd game window in it in order to bypass the "XGL means no direct rendering" thing. however, when i launch this script, i switch to the DISPLAY it started in, and while my terminal behaves as if the game is running, i get the grey screen with an X cursor. any ideas?
[02:28] <Shin_Gouki> @nikin_away lets asume the isntall crashed
[02:29] <Pelo> crockodie-brb-,  we can read smallcase
[02:29] <crockodie-brb-> ok
[02:29] <kust0m> crockodie-brb-: put it in..and reboot. make sure the bios is set to boot from a cd.
[02:29] <Shin_Gouki> @nikin_away is there a way to resume the install , afterwards?
[02:29] <_Chap_> zero - this is the way to get the higher res. dont be stubbirn it took me 2 min - working in tty w/o any graphics
[02:29] <Jowi> crockodie-brb-, do you get a boot menu? at what stage doesn't it boot?
[02:29] <Pelo> crockodie-brb-,  how far do you get when you try to boot the live cd ?  do you get as far as the boot menu or does it not boot at all ?
[02:29] <crockodie-brb-> i already did setting my BIOS to first boot my CD ROm
[02:29] <crockodie-brb-> but still no change
[02:29] <sebo> _Chap_: o, I think I quit it. I did every step, I got direct rendering, fglrx, but without effect. =(
[02:29] <nikin> Shin Gouk i dont think.. but i am not sure
[02:30] <kust0m> crockodie-brb-: what happens when you try to book?
[02:30] <_Chap_> sebo :( - took me 2 days
[02:30] <kust0m> boot*
[02:30] <Shin_Gouki> ok thx i check disk.. then i'll be back here ;)
[02:30] <dchky> crockodie-brb-: you either have a problem with the CD itself, or your drive isn't reading the disc properly.
[02:30] <crockodie-brb-> its just still going to boot windows
[02:30] <sebo> _Chap_: it's my fourth day I'm trying to handle that problem =)
[02:30] <kust0m> crockodie-brb-: how did you burn the cd?
[02:30] <_Chap_> sebo - when u have energy - maybe look for the ATI ver. and dbl chk u dont need somethin older (legacy)
[02:30] <Pelo> crockodie-brb-,  when you made the cd  did you just copy the .iso file to the cd or did you "burn an image"
[02:31] <crockodie-brb-> i use NERO 7.0
[02:31] <Pelo> crockodie-brb-,  when you made the cd  did you just copy the .iso file to the cd or did you "burn an image"
[02:31] <crockodie-brb-> no
[02:31] <crockodie-brb-> i extract it
[02:31] <kust0m> crockodie-brb-: don't do that.
[02:31] <ConfidentiaL_> When I installed ubuntu, just some of my partitions were mounted automatically. Now, when I mount my windows C disk, I can only access it from root. What do I need to do to make it available to all?
[02:31] <_Chap_> ubuntu=no.sleep
[02:31] <kust0m> crockodie-brb-: it's an iso for a reason. it won't boot if you extract it.
[02:31] <crockodie-brb-> so what will i do ?
[02:31] <gringol> C' QUALCHE ITALIANO?
[02:31] <crockodie-brb-> i burn it  2times
[02:31] <sebo> _Chap_: I tried also the ati driver, but there I have no direct rendering. I tried 3 wikis =(
[02:31] <herbaliser> Confindential change you vfsta file and use ntfs-3g
[02:32] <ompaul> !it
[02:32] <ubotu> Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[02:32] <Jowi> !it | gringol
[02:32] <ubotu> gringol: please see above
[02:32] <kust0m> crockodie-brb-: you have to use the "burn image" dilly
[02:32] <dchky> /dev/sda2    /sda2    ntfs      auto,gid=0,umask=0002    0    0 <-- in fstab
[02:32] <dchky> something like that anyway
[02:32] <crockodie-brb-> the .iso FILE ?
[02:32] <kust0m> crockodie-brb-: in nero 6 it was under the "recorder" menu at the top and it said "burn image"
[02:32] <crockodie-brb-> aw

[02:34] <_Chap_> wow ati is really beatin ppl  up
[02:34] <kust0m> heh. java. *cringe*
[02:34] <zeroda1> can anyone help me fix my resolution problems with my ati radeon 9200 which cant get above 1024x800
[02:34] <Shin_Gouki> @nikin u have an idea what to do when the cd check is ok?
[02:34] <MetaMorfoziS> what is that package that automatically sets up an ip and shares the internet via my second ethernet card if a client connects?
[02:34] <_Chap_> i think by 7 u shouldnt have to wrestle just to get video ?! what gives with the back office
[02:34] <Shin_Gouki> @nikin the pc is internetcapable, can i boot with the xubuntu cd and isntall via net?
[02:35] <kust0m> _Chap_: i had 0 problems. 2 clicks and it worked.
[02:35] <_Chap_> kust0m  -  more recent hw or same older ati?
[02:35] <kust0m> Nvidia 6600 PCI-e
[02:35] <Esteth> how would i log into two sessions at once on two different DISPLAYs?
[02:36] <_Chap_> zero - i think ur 3 min from a fix ...https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[02:36] <kust0m> same with my laptop though, with a radeon 9550
[02:36] <kp_> I'm having trouble with shutting down and switching users while using ATIs proprietary driver, is there a way to solve this ?
[02:36] <finalbeta> if I created accounts for mysql, tmp servers etc. Those should point to bin/false right? So they wont allow remote logons? But doing this wont break the services?
[02:37] <kust0m> finalbeta: they don't need physical logins. it's more for permissions.
[02:37] <tuskernini> Ysangkok: do you know if wengophone is also just OSS? i have trouble using the soundcard and wengophone?
[02:37] <pieter_> JOIN #beryl
[02:38] <nikin> Shin_Gouki: hmm not realy... but i had the same problem about 30% and it was cd error
[02:38] <pieter_> hey guys, question: how do i join the beryl irc?
[02:38] <rubydo> Quick one: Cube effects in Ubuntu - can you zoom out to see the entire cube?
[02:38] <dchky> you would type /join #beryl
[02:39] <pieter_> thanks dchky!
[02:39] <_Chap_> ok silly (too big) ? I gotta give this laptp back to my client - 704 is up and running - what else shld I go over /install ? (did updates)
[02:39] <dchky> no probs.
[02:39] <Jammeri> rubydo, you can atleast change the zoom in options
[02:39] <coredata> Hi
[02:39] <kust0m> rubydo: i think you can with beryl. i didn't see many options with compiz..but i didn't look real hard.
[02:39] <finalbeta> kust0m: why does this exist then? news:x:9:9:news:/var/spool/news:/bin/sh << From /etc/passwd in ubuntu, why does news need /bin/sh if it's not a user?
[02:39] <coredata> private
[02:40] <Ysangkok> tuskernini: no, i don't know
[02:40] <_Chap_> theres really not much to harden or polish up for reg. home user in 7.04 ?!
[02:40] <rubydo> jammeri: Basically, I just enabled it and when I switch workspaces it looks flashy, but that's it - how would I go about seeing anything more impressive?
[02:40] <ThomasPorter> As root, is there a way that I can see what is on my users terminals?
[02:40] <ConfidentiaL> how do i remount the partitions in fstab?
[02:40] <tuskernini> Ysangkok: thanks
[02:40] <Jammeri> rubydo, actually dunno about compiz... but Beryl would give you much more impressive features :P
[02:40] <kp__> I'm having trouble with shutting down and switching users while using ATIs proprietary driver, is there a way to solve this ?
[02:40] <kust0m> finalbeta: i don't know, honestly. it's set to nologin on my bsd machine and /bin/sh on my ubuntu box.
[02:41] <AdrenaliN198306> Hi, just a simple question, im trying to run tail -f at startup to echo /var/log/messages to /dev/tty12 however the script hangs, I beleive this is due to the fact you normally run tail in the foreground and ctrl c to close, Can someone please tell me how to run it in a scipt?
[02:41] <_Chap_> kp - theres always the same driver from the ubuntu side ...
[02:41] <kp__> ??
[02:41] <kust0m> AdrenaliN198306: what if you background the process by adding a & at the end?
[02:41] <rubydo> jammeri: so the built-in features are compiz, not beryl - OK, well I've learnt something anyway
[02:41] <_Chap_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[02:42] <rubydo> Actually, the compiz stuff is pretty cool considering it's built in to feisty...
[02:42] <finalbeta> kust0m: does this mean ubuntu allows remote logon for news account? possible security issue?
[02:42] <_Chap_> u can get the ati ver. or the ubuntu ??
[02:42] <AdrenaliN198306> Thanks that works
[02:42] <kp__> _Chap_: i know how to install it
[02:43] <AdrenaliN198306> Also, does anyone know where I can find a driver for an ATI mobility radeon 7500 that works with ubuntu?
[02:43] <kp__> _Chap_: and it works in xsystem, but when i do a shutdown it freezes
[02:43] <_Chap_> kp - so u walked thru both  ?
[02:43] <nikin> about the terminal you can see it with cat but then he will not see
[02:43] <kust0m> finalbeta: got me. i guess it would theoretically be possible for it to login..
[02:43] <Ysangkok> ConfidentiaL: "umount -a" and then "mount -a"
[02:43] <kp__> _Chap_: i used ubuntus tool.
[02:43] <kust0m> finalbeta: i would just try changing the shell to /bin/flase and see what breaks.
[02:44] <Ysangkok> ThomasPorter: the commando "who" should tell you
[02:44] <kp__> _Chap_: it also freezes if im not removing splashscreen from the boot, and im guessing the problem is the same.
[02:44] <_Chap_> kp .\and u added composite 0 to the .conf
[02:44] <poje> Okay, so what determines which icon is up in the top right for logout/shutdown?
[02:44] <poje> I don't like the little door
[02:44] <kust0m> finalbeta: just so you realize i'm not afraid to break my linux boxen.
[02:44] <crockodie-brb-> guys
[02:45] <crockodie-brb-> i have a question
[02:45] <_Chap_> kp sounds so fam. like i saw this over and over for the last 2 days
[02:45] <kust0m> crockodie-brb-: speak. heh.
[02:45] <_Chap_> its an option in xserv.conf
[02:45] <crockodie-brb-> burn image doesnt detect the download file
[02:45] <finalbeta> kust0m: nor am I. But this is a box I only have SSH access 2. So I rather not push it.
[02:45] <mewt> set to all files
[02:45] <kp__> composite is 0
[02:45] <mewt> and then you can see it
[02:45] <crockodie-brb-> ok
[02:45] <poje> _Chap_: was that directed at me?
[02:45] <kust0m> finalbeta: i have one i'm shelled into at home. let me shange it and reboot..we'll see what blows up. :)
[02:46] <crockodie-brb-> is there a a set for writing speed?
[02:46] <_Chap_> poje sorry  at kp re:ati video
[02:46] <poje> _Chap_: just checking
[02:46] <kust0m> finalbeta: are you running a news server or anything?
[02:46] <crockodie-brb-> is there a safe settings for writing speed
[02:48] <finalbeta> no, not at all. Actually, it's a debian server at the remote location which had several bin/bash entries for service accounts. And I was wondering if that was OK. so I checked my own /etc/passwd, ubuntu and saw the news account etc. I can test it myself for ubuntu. but I need a fool proof way to make sure I don't break the remote debian box anyway.
[02:48] <tom__> hi, anyone have an intel 950 gfx?
[02:48] <crockodie-brb-> me
[02:48] <Jowi> tom__, 945GM here
[02:48] <finalbeta> I'll find someone who really knows how it all works. i'm just guessing on the little I know.
[02:48] <pieter_> guys, how do i get the menubar to reappear in Xchat?
[02:48] <tom__> Jowi: have you tried any games, like ut2004? i dont expect beauty lol, but do any run?
[02:49] <finalbeta> ( I was setting up the remote debian server to only allow access to a single account using keys)
[02:49] <ConfidentiaL> where can I find the setting for the fesktop effects?
[02:49] <kust0m> finalbeta: i'm gonna say it's pretty safe..especially if nothing is using that shell. i just changed it on mine and rebooted..nothing blew up.
[02:49] <pieter_> confidential, do you use beryl?
[02:49] <kust0m> i have a debian box too..lemme look on it
[02:49] <Jowi> tom__, I haven't tried any commercial games. most 3d games work fine (tremulous.net as a good example)
[02:49] <sc0tch> anyone familar with using wifi-radar and an atheros card? I run wifi-radar and it lists networks, but there is no 'CONNEC' button!
[02:50] <tom__> Jowi: great, thanks 4 the help
 I use the one's included with newest ubuntu distro
[02:50] <finalbeta> kust0m: "y if nothing is using that shell" , how do I define that? I mean no users log in to the account, it are accounts for running servers. started using sudo sometimes. Those would need a shell right?
[02:50] <rubydo> Anyone understand grub well? I have no problems with it, just want to understand how the bios knows to call it...
[02:51] <kust0m> finalbeta: i don't think..but i don't know if you would need the shell when running them using sudo
[02:51] <Lamego> rubydo, the BIOS reads sector 0 from head 0 on disk 0, thats the MBR where lilo is usually installed
[02:51] <crockodie-brb-> ok guys i just finish
[02:51] <crockodie-brb-> BURNING  i try now
[02:51] <pieter_> confidential, the desktop effects in feisty do not work properly on my computer, but you should try to install beryl, which has the nice desktop effects also but also many more options
[02:51] <Lamego> rubydo, but that question is not lilo specific, thats how any PC boots :)
[02:52] <Lamego> i mean, grub
[02:53] <rubydo> Lamego: Thanks - just found http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-bootload.html so am reading through...
[02:53] <rubydo> Lamego: I was confued because the grub configuration files are in Ubuntu, but when grub loads, ubuntu isn't running yet
[02:53] <rubydo> Lamego: probably pretty noob of me!
[02:54] <jimcooncat> I have six older Ubuntu systems I want to do fresh installs of Fiesty. Are there tools to be able to simply share customizations of changes I do in /etc files?
[02:54] <Lamego> rubydo, grub save  where the file is stored, and read its contents from disk (if i am not mistaken)
[02:55] <Lamego> jimcooncat, hum ? you mean, you want to have a shared config ?
[02:55] <Lamego> you can't share the entire /etc
[02:55] <Lamego> because it has things like, hostname :P
[02:55] <Lamego> or network coonfig
[02:55] <jimcooncat> Lamego, not really, I just want to write once and copy, some kind of tracking system
[02:55] <kust0m> finalbeta: well..i made a test user and changed the shell to false. i can still run commands as that user with sudo: SLUG:~# sudo -u sudotest whoami -> sudotest
[02:56] <Lamego> jimcooncat, you mean a customized install ?
[02:56] <jimcooncat> I really wish I knew how to custom package my own apps and make a repository
[02:56] <finalbeta> kust0m: ohw, wow, didn't think that would be possible, will test myself. thanks
[02:56] <jimcooncat> like openssh-server, specify blowfish encryption for all the machines I maintain
[02:56] <kust0m> finalbeta: np
[02:57] <Lamego> jimcooncat, you could easly implement that with a script
[02:57] <Lamego> that you could run after install
[02:57] <Lamego> on all your systems
[02:57] <beni> I need Some RegExp help: I my text is: "Appname 2.3.4\nBla bla Appname 2 blabla\n". I'm doing /Appname [0-9.] +/ but it catches also "Appname 2" and not only "Appname 2.3.4"
[02:57] <Lamego> or you can use something like, http://clonezilla.sourceforge.net/
[02:58] <blckcts> Anyone that knows how to enable Theater mode on tvout?
[02:58] <jimcooncat> Lamego, that's probably what I'll have to do, I was hoping to find something to help me
[02:58] <hope> what do you use for Ubuntu PLF for 7.04 ?
[02:58] <jimcooncat> thanks, Lamego I'll check that out
[02:58] <jrib> beni: so you want to match the '.' too?
[02:58] <quantumcheese> beni:  the . interferes with the [0-9]
[02:58] <quantumcheese> doesn't match punctuation
[02:58] <Lamego> beni, this is not a regexp help channel, but it should be /Appname [0-9\.] +/
[02:58] <munroe_> \.
[02:58] <quantumcheese> right, \.
[02:58] <beni> thanks i'll give it a try
[02:59] <jrib> I don't think that's the issue

[03:01] <ubuntu__> i can only see eth0 when i run Network Settings.
[03:01] <Shafto> shawn34, You must use the OSS setting inside winecfg,
[03:01] <shawn34> Shafto, i have that selected
[03:01] <shawn34> i think
[03:01] <squee> Is anyone else having troubles with dvd playback in feisty?
[03:01] <shawn34> let me double check
[03:02] <shawn34> Shafto, should i run winecfg as root?
[03:02] <poje> Okay, that was, shall we say, UNFUN
[03:02] <squee> shawn34, no
[03:02] <lesshaste> hi.. can anyone see why http://www.cs.bris.ac.uk/~clifford/test2.ai seems to load in inkscape but look like a blank document?

[03:03] <squee> lesshaste, the ai support in inkscape is terrible last i knew
[03:03] <Shafto> shawn34, No
[03:03] <lesshaste> squee: ok... can you see it?
[03:03] <squee> lesshaste, I didn't download it yet, let me check it
[03:03] <shawn34> and Driver Emulation because when i ran the game first time terminal output said to enable it
[03:04] <Shafto> shawn34, Now make sure nothing else is using audio, and you'll have sound
[03:04] <lesshaste> squee: thx..it's only small
[03:04] <sasq> Audacious broke with the latest upgrade... I cant live without my music, argh.
[03:05] <shawn34> Shafto, should i set DirectSound>Hardware Acceleration to "Emulate"?
[03:05] <squee> lesshaste, hold on for a sec, it might be a missing plugin
[03:05] <lesshaste> squee: ok thanks.
[03:05] <quantumcheese> I have bcm43xx_fwcutter but my wireless still doesn't detect networks, any suggestions?
[03:06] <squee> quantumcheese, you have to acutally use firmware cutter to export the firmware, and then a driver has to load it
[03:06] <seomraspraoi> hello how can i check what version of ubuntu this pc is using?
[03:07] <herbaliser> unamr -r
[03:07] <noozz> how do i set NTLDR as my default bootloader again? GRUB won't work - just gives me bootloops! :/
[03:07] <herbaliser> uname -r
[03:07] <seomraspraoi> thats my kernel..
[03:08] <squee> lesshaste, no luck.  I'm not sure but you could check with xaralx, that might have ai support by now, i haven't used it in a while thoguh
[03:08] <lesshaste> squee: so you get a blank page too?
[03:08] <herbaliser> cat /etc/issue
[03:08] <squee> noozz, put in a windows repair cd and go into the recovery console.  I haven't done it in a while but i think it is fixmbr or checkmbr or something like that
[03:08] <squee> lesshaste, yes
[03:09] <lesshaste> squee: thanks.. I'll report it to them
[03:09] <squee> lesshaste, cool
[03:09] <squee> lesshaste, good luck
[03:09] <noozz> its fixmbr and fixboot - tried them both - no change

[03:10] <herbaliser> cat /etc/lsb-release
[03:10] <BlackAnthrax> squee: i was wanting to do that, where can i find it?
[03:10] <herbaliser> should tell you your version
[03:11] <quantumcheese> squee: how do I export/install the firmware?
[03:11] <squee> BlackAnthrax, pidgin.im, search around there.

[03:19] <larryone> my system hangs every time I put in a dvd. this is in syslog:  hda_codec: Unknown model for ALC883, trying auto-probe from BIOS...
[03:19] <larryone>  is this a problem with th drive?? the soundcard??

[03:21] <SlimeyPete> robinlinth: what processor?
[03:21] <Kazol> I have trouble installing a wifi card. I get this error msg:
[03:22] <Kazol> ndiswrapper -m
[03:22] <Kazol> modprobe config already contains alias directive
[03:22] <robinlinth> SlimeyPete, AMD Athlon XP 2800+
[03:22] <larryone> `sam`, video playback from files is fine - the sound is perfect, so I know the sound card works. it's a matter of any dvd I try to play...
[03:22] <nflava1> i hear bitchx is good
[03:22] <kludge> pieter, xchat or irssi, depending how much time you have.
[03:22] <squee> larryone, it shouldn't have a thing to do with the bios as far as i'm concerned
[03:22] <nflava1> but i dont know how to install it yet lol
[03:22] <zdravko> ah ok
[03:22] <SlimeyPete> robinlinth: that's i686. Don't worry about the smp kernel - it won't break anything.
[03:22] <robinlinth> SlimeyPete, but why's it in?
[03:22] <squee> larryone, "[ 1847.552000]  hda_intel: azx_get_response timeout, switching to polling mode...
[03:22] <squee> " < this comes out of dmesg when i try to play dvds
[03:22] <robinlinth> SlimeyPete, won't i386 be faster?
[03:22] <robinlinth> or i686
[03:22] <SlimeyPete> robinlinth: which version of ubuntu are you running? The latest versions use smp by default.
[03:22] <pieter_> kludge, i use xchat now, but somehow the menu bar disappeared.. how can i make it reappear? (i'm a real noob :)
[03:22] <robinlinth> SlimeyPete, Feisty.
[03:23] <Kazol> has anyone here used ndiswrapper?
[03:23] <SlimeyPete> robinlinth: i686 will be a bit faster than i386.
[03:23] <robinlinth> SlimeyPete, Do I need SMP?
[03:23] <zdravko> how do I set Bulgarian language in LaTeX under Kile?
[03:23] <SlimeyPete> robinlinth: you don't need it, but it won't make any difference - an smp kernel on a non-smp system will simply not use the smp features.
[03:23] <kludge> pieter, no idea, when xchat started going a bit buggy on me after a couple months i switched to irssi but it is challenging
[03:23] <robinlinth> SlimeyPete, ah, okay..
[03:23] <Kazol> has anyone here ever used or configured ndiswrapper for wifi cards??
[03:23] <pieter_> ok kludge
[03:23] <larryone> `sam`, is there any other package I can use for this??
[03:23] <robinlinth> SlimeyPete, but the SMP version of the game -DID- run..
[03:24] <squee> To figure out if you are running with both cores working, type "cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i processor" in a terminal.  One line means 1 cpu, 2 means both are working
[03:24] <pieter_> does anyone know how to update the driver for my nvidia card?
[03:24] <`sam`> larryone, i don't know that much about it, or why it wouldn't work with dvd's, i just know from trying to get my soundcard working about different ones using the hda_codec
[03:24] <robinlinth> SlimeyPete, why did it?
[03:24] <orbin> Kazol: yes.
[03:24] <SlimeyPete> robinlinth: yeah, it will do... smp won't break anything, as I say. I'm not even sure why there's an smp version of the game - that's unusual.
[03:24] <robinlinth> alright.
[03:25] <robinlinth> SlimeyPete, thanks for your help. See ya :)
[03:25] <larryone> `sam`, thanks anyway....  know where /i can find mo0re info??
[03:25] <SlimeyPete> robinlinth: the smp kernel is just a standard kernel with smp features enabled, but on a non-smp system it'll function exactly like a non-smp kernel.

[03:39] <squee> jmoro, unless you removed splash from grub, it should be working
[03:39] <berent> what feisty done was it had no hd* devices
[03:39] <crockodie-brb-> can anyone help me if i try to install ubuntu it turns me to Enter Administrator Privilages user "Root" or use sudo <commands> what is this
[03:39] <berent> It had only sd* devices like sda1 sda2 etc and this led to few anxious moments
[03:39] <ElllisD> !root
[03:40] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[03:40] <jmoro> well it saids i have no usable image when i shutdown so i don't get why it is not working either.  i will keep searching for a solution but so far i have had no luck
[03:40] <Mishaal> #ubuntu-arab
[03:40] <squee> LupinZX, I never had to look at the log, it only happend when i was running beryl to me.  You could try disabling acpi and see if that works.  It might be giving problems after it tries to turn on your fans.  Though I'm really not certain on what could be causing this
[03:40] <flaxseed> Does Desktop Ubuntu support Ultra workstations?
[03:40] <Gnea> LupinZX: there are some things you should probably check over... these are debian-specific, but you should be able to migrate what it says over to your situation (do yourself a favor and do NOT ask in #debian for ubuntu help, they won't do it on principle, and if you fake it, you will be hated for eternity).. http://www.perron.ch/cms/index.php?page=xe3 and http://home.subnet.at/~max/comp-05_hp-omnibook-xe3.shtml

[03:44] <mc44> Mishaal: yes, the ati drivers suck, but do work to some extent
[03:44] <crockodie-brb-> everytime i boot into ubuntu install.. its always turn me to a PROMPT COFIGURATION SOMETHING
[03:44] <ElllisD> Mishaal: all you ever need is envy- search the forums
[03:44] <Gnea> flaxseed: man, i only see the ultra40 up there
[03:44] <flaxseed> Gentoo works.
[03:44] <ElllisD> just learned something- never knew that about ati
[03:44] <flaxseed> Ultra 60s are old machines. They're no longer supported.
[03:45] <squee> crockodie-brb-, can you give the exact error it gives you?
[03:45] <Mishaal> i guess nvidia does not support well either :) squee

[03:45] <david__> hi to install beryl and xgl i've being told to create a file called xgl.desktop, how can i create it?
[03:46] <fish79> upgrade to fiesty fawn worth the trouble?

[03:46] <herbaliser> apt-get install beryl
[03:46] <herbaliser> apt-get install beryl-manager
[03:46] <pieter_> orbin: thanks!
[03:46] <Linux_Galore> Just a question regarding Feisty, have the devs still disabled all the xvid and aac support in the libs so if you want to use a Video iPOD you have to manually recompile about a things
[03:46] <squee> sc0tch, Is this a computer you could upgrade to feisty? because then you can use the restricted driver tool and it would installl it automatically
[03:46] <ElllisD> crockodie-brb-: you gotta put the command sudo before any command you want to do following to get the command to go thru
[03:47] <orbin> pieter_: sure
[03:47] <crockodie-brb-> yah i tried putting it
[03:47] <squee> Mishaal, Intel isn't nearly as fast as nvidia cards.  I highly recommend you go for nvidia
[03:47] <crockodie-brb-> but nothing happens
[03:47] <Linux_Galore> s/a things/a dozen things/
[03:47] <Esteth> if i replace my ATI graphics card with an nvidia 8800 card, will i be able to use beryl and have direct rendering/hardware acceleration?
[03:47] <mc44> Linux_Galore: no you just need to install the right codecs
[03:47] <j2daosh> whats up all... i'm having a problem. I have ubuntu setup on a vmware machine but it doesn't have internet connection... where do i need to go to resetup my internet? (it doesn't show up in the networking settings in the system tab)
[03:47] <lolman> Esteth, if you remove ATI's drivers then install nvidia's, yes
[03:48] <ElllisD> you shouldnt get stuck at a prompt after installing unless you installed a server or something went wrong
[03:48] <squee> Esteth, yes

[03:48] <sc0tch> Squee, possible but would prefer not to, (have some issues with other software in feisty) (I have both edgy & feisty installed on notebook)
[03:48] <thinkmonkeys> is the /tmp folder cleansed on shutdown by default?
[03:48] <Linux_Galore> mc44: codecs are not the issue here, the problem Im finding are all the libs that work with video tools have had aac and xvid disabled in edgy, is this fixed in feisty

[03:54] <PriceChild> !ohmy > Linux_Galore
[03:54] <squee> Linux_Galore, I use mp3, it does not have to be mp3
[03:54] <Bromics> Can someone help? I have been trying to figure out why my mouse isn't moving on Ubuntu 7.04 for 9hrs now but there is still no solution. I tried checking forums for help but there seem to be no related topics.
[03:54] <PriceChild> Linux_Galore, have you read the wiki entry on this?
[03:54] <j2daosh> course it could be because i'm running it on my DC
[03:54] <squee> Linux_Galore, er, doesn't have to be aac*
[03:54] <crockodie-brb-> cant install ubuntu i cant even go to this desktop https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=Initial-smaller.png
[03:54] <j2daosh> and my DC likes to gobble up all my ip's.... but it should still show the controller
[03:54] <netface> hi, I have two sound card, one onboard and one PCI live 5.1, Possible priority order in boot?
[03:54] <dxdemetriou> anybody have a problem with files that are +x to can't run on mounted partition? If I mount the partition manually it's ok, but not with the "mount partition" from icon
[03:55] <Enola_Gay> hi all
[03:55] <kekkkee> Is Xine a good codec pack?
[03:55] <Enola_Gay> How can I debug Xorg crashes? There seems to be no dbg package anymore.
[03:55] <kekkkee> Video player with good codecs
[03:55] <squee> kekkkee, yes, but i prefer gstreamer
[03:55] <kekkkee> squee: will I be able to play .avi and .wmv?
[03:55] <Linux_Galore> squee: trust, Ive just spent 3 hours getting ubuntu working with an ipod, ooh now I want to edit the tags, sorry disabled in all the libs compile from scratch
[03:55] <ElllisD> Bromics: try X -configure, then sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf & change the line that says /dev/mouse to /dev/input/mice
[03:55] <Vastlee> VLC!
[03:55] <D4N`> I'll soon find out
[03:55] <kekkkee> Vastlee: VLC doesn't work
[03:56] <Enola_Gay> squee: gstreamer can't use w32codecs, at least in Feisty and couldn't play wmv, wma and some quicktime movies
[03:56] <Vastlee> I wouldn't know, I've been using Ubuntu/Linux for a whole 8 minutes. LOL
[03:56] <Bromics> ElllisD, k
[03:56] <ElllisD> Vastlee: congratulations on your new freedom!
[03:56] <mc44> kekkkee: try xine or mplayer
[03:56] <sivel27> is anyine having problems creating a form in openoffice base wiard on feisty?
[03:56] <sivel27> wizard
[03:57] <j2daosh> whats the dist-upgrade command? apt-get dist-upgrade?
[03:57] <Vastlee> Speaking of which, is there a more appropriate channel for complete newbs to ask questions that will surely receive much laughter and reticule than this one or is this the place to be for such newb questions?
[03:57] <ElllisD> j2daosh: Y
[03:57] <squee> Linux_Galore, there are other programs for tag editing, but seriously, whine more. if ubuntu isn't good enough for you, dont go whine to people on the support channel, go back to gentoo.
[03:57] <mc44> Vastlee: there will be no laughter of ridicule
[03:57] <jrib> j2daosh: you want to upgrade from one version of ubuntu to another?
[03:57] <j2daosh> was that a why or a yes?
[03:57] <mc44> Vastlee: just ask
[03:57] <ElllisD> yes
[03:57] <Vastlee> Cool, thanks.
[03:57] <nazgjunk> i keep reposting ;_;
[03:57] <j2daosh> because im running breezy still....
[03:57] <j2daosh> so i want to upgrade it
[03:57] <jrib> !upgrade > j2daosh (see the private message from ubotu)
[03:57] <kekkkee> Does anyone have any idea of where I can get a xvid codec?
[03:57] <squee> j2daosh, I'd recommend doing a clean install... that is a large upgrade
[03:58] <IgorSobreira> how can i install the package with all the sources of my kernel? 2.16.20-15
[03:58] <ElllisD> j2daosh: theres a page on ubuntu on upgrading- it might want you to do more i dunno
[03:58] <Linux_Galore> mc44: aaah yeah, so if a newbie cant use your "newbie friendly distro" (total rubbish) then go use Windows
[03:58] <mc44> Linux_Galore: er what?
[03:58] <dxdemetriou> can I change the way that pmount works?
[03:58] <mc44> Linux_Galore: I didnt say that
[03:58] <koyo001> ok java problem
[03:58] <ElllisD> j2daosh: i agree w/ squee- the torrent's blazin
[03:58] <koyo001> can solve it
[03:58] <PriceChild> Linux_Galore, I suggest that you use what works best for you. If gentoo works perfectly for you then why use ubuntu?
[03:58] <koyo001> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18241/
[03:58] <netface> I have two sound card. Possible priority order in boot?
[03:58] <mc44> Linux_Galore: ipod support should be better, I dont disagree
[03:59] <j2daosh> well i got some time :)
[03:59] <Linux_Galore> mc44: a newbie will never get half the stuff to work in Ubuntu, because there is so much disabled in the libs (Im amazed how much is actually disabled) that it a barely functional rig for multi media
[03:59] <koyo001> has anyone had this problem
[03:59] <LupinZX> kekkke: try VLC Media Player, it plays nearly all video formats, including xvid
[03:59] <PriceChild> Linux_Galore, I disagree with that.
[03:59] <mc44> Linux_Galore: its not perfect, however, this isnt the forum to have a debate over that
[03:59] <Vastlee> I've recently deleted my windows and installed Ubuntu on an old box of mine, this one, which is going great so far.  However, I have another drive with about 250 gigs of data on it that was previously created when I was that windows user.  Now I'm trying to manipulate that data (delete/Move/ect) but it says I am not the owner so I can't.  I have my old login and password and all that but I'm not sure how to "take ownership" of the data
[03:59] <mc44> Linux_Galore: try #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:59] <kekkkee> LupinZX I tried, but VLC doesn't play any videos that I got :/
[03:59] <ElllisD> <-- has a terrible time w/ multimedia- hoping feistys gonna help
[03:59] <j2daosh> thanks all... buh bye now
[03:59] <ElllisD> l8r
[03:59] <squee> Linux_Galore, Look, you are complaining about ubuntu not working for you in your way.  I use easytag for tag editing.  It works just fine.  If you want it to work your way, go back to gentoo
[04:00] <oldude67> koyo001
[04:00] <LupinZX> kekkkee: hmm, odd. works fine for me
[04:00] <koyo001> old:
[04:00] <kekkkee> LupinZX: anything I could be missing?
[04:00] <gradin> anybody know how to disable acpi?
[04:00] <mc44> Vastlee: is it ntfs formatted?
[04:00] <Bromics> ElllisD, i did that but it's already /dev/input/mice
[04:00] <sivel27> has anyone had problems using openoffice on fiesty?
[04:00] <Vastlee> It is indeed mc44
[04:00] <squee> !acpi
[04:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about acpi - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:00] <kekkkee> LupinZX: Are there any codec packs for ubuntu/linux
[04:00] <Linux_Galore> squee: hah, very funny, one problem, easytag has also been cripples and need recompiling, yes Im doing it now
[04:00] <ElllisD> Bromics: have you restarted x yet?
[04:00] <mc44> Vastlee: ok, by default you cant write to it, however there are utilities which let you, called ntfs-3g
[04:00] <gradin> i tried adding noacpi to the boot command andd its still loding
[04:00] <LupinZX> kekkkee: I really don't kniw, I added the VLC repository to my list and it plays everything I have
[04:00] <mc44> !ntfs-3g | Vastlee
[04:00] <ubotu> Vastlee: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[04:01] <oldude67> have to add dependencies
[04:01] <kekkkee> ok
[04:01] <Bromics> ElllisD, but im using USB, and its written at protocol "ImPS/2"
[04:01] <ConfidentiaL> what is a good alternative program to SpeedFan(windows app) for ubuntu? Its a program which monitors thermal sensors and manages fan speeds inside the computer
[04:01] <kekkkee> Anyone know any codecpacks for linux?
[04:01] <squee> Linux_Galore, how is it "crippled"
[04:01] <Vastlee> Awesometastic.  I'll begin reading.  Thanks so much.

[04:01] <koyo001> oldude67 have to add dependencies
[04:01] <ElllisD> Bromics: try changing that to auto- where it says imps2
[04:01] <oldude67> ya i used synaptic...koyo
[04:02] <Bromics> ElllisD, include the - ?
[04:02] <nazgjunk> ok wtf
[04:02] <Linux_Galore> squee: MP4/AAC file support disabled
[04:02] <koyo001> how do i add dependencies??
[04:02] <MistaED> since when did ubuntu get annotate features without compiz/beryl? i just drew a squiggly red line somehow and i don't know how i did it or a way to clear it now :S
[04:02] <nazgjunk> i think i found out why flash doesn't make any sound anymore
[04:02] <ElllisD> Bromics: then restart x by ctrl-alt-backspace--- what? no ? in there
[04:02] <IgorSobreira> how can i install the package with all the sources of my kernel? 2.16.20-15
[04:02] <wceoscar> Mainly im a MSN user, since a while ive been using stuff like aMsn and gaim, but the main factor is theat they don't offer the type of flexibility and visuals that the windows version of Msn offers, Isnt there any other chat client that comes with this????
[04:02] <oldude67> well im a newbie...so better off asking someone else...id be a bad choice
[04:03] <nazgjunk> since amarok won't make any noise anymore either artsd is probably borked
[04:03] <nazgjunk> ... no
[04:03] <oldude67> took me a week
[04:03] <squee> Linux_Galore, then convert to mp3, it works just fine.  most people use mp3 instead

[04:03] <Linux_Galore> squee: its video
[04:03] <berent> when i click on restricted driver manager it says i have to install restricted drivers to view it . WHy?
[04:03] <oldude67> oops for installing

[04:04] <Pelo> !cups

[04:04] <squee> Linux_Galore, ahh, that I will agree is something that is still being worked on.  The support for video is not all that great.
[04:04] <berent> mc44 : i just want to open it
[04:04] <orbin> wceoscar: kopete?
[04:04] <mc44> berent: open what?
[04:04] <Linux_Galore> squee: yeah, tell me about it, I can play anything but i cant do anything with it
[04:04] <berent> mc44 : i just want to open restricted driver manager
[04:04] <mc44> berent: and what happens when you try?
[04:05] <nazgjunk> oh crap, it's still not working
[04:05] <nazgjunk> hey, i just installed the flash plugin from adobe.com to get sound working in flash movies (through firefox), it worked for one video, but now it's all silent
[04:05] <Linux_Galore> squee: also video transcoding is a nighmare, yep all disabled
[04:05] <nazgjunk> :D
[04:05] <berent> mc44 :it says -restricted-modules-2.6.20-15-386
[04:05] <berent> for this program to work.
[04:05] <squee> Linux_Galore, No... it's not.  I haven't had a problem converting video of any type in linux
[04:05] <mc44> berent: you are using the 386 kernel?
[04:05] <berent> mc44 yes
[04:05] <mc44> berent: why?
[04:05] <ryeth25> anybody here know how to change background color in the terminal?
[04:06] <ryeth25> i'm on ubuntu fiesty-gnome
[04:06] <berent> mc44 : because thats what i have
[04:06] <Linux_Galore> squee: well I have a generic script for transcoding, guess what distro is the only one that cant do it because hmm its been disabled in the libs
[04:06] <squee> Linux_Galore, ffmpeg, transcode, or mencoder can convert any type of video I've come across
[04:06] <mc44> berent: did the generic kernel not work?
[04:06] <squee> Linux_Galore, whine more, learn how to use the apps to convert them yourself
[04:06] <Bromics> ElllisD, i rebooted but didn't seem to work, is it possible to make ubuntu detect my mouse again?
[04:06] <Linux_Galore> squee: nope, ffmpeg has xvid and aac disabled so does mencoders back ends libs

[04:07] <orbin> ryeth25: as in gnome-terminal?
[04:07] <ElllisD> Bromics: the protocol's auto even?  do you have another usb port to try? does something else work in that usb slot? did you do X -configure cuz that always works for me
[04:07] <Angel-SL> hi, how do i automate DIFF files

[04:17] <RedFoxy> hi all!
[04:17] <Bromics> ElllisD, the logon screen u meant is the login where i just get loaded into xwindows?

[04:17] <pingved> thx
[04:17] <joeamined> Keyseir, the bug is fixed in that version
[04:18] <ElllisD> Bromics: its the one where you can choose gnome, kde, xfce, etc--- if you choose terminal login you get a command prompt login
[04:18] <Pelo> RedFoxy,  there is some info in here  http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty
[04:18] <Gasten> Hey... something pretty embaracing have happened and I need lots of help. My harddisk chrashed (I belive that it is both, actually...). What to do?
[04:18] <Magilla> anyone: is there a list of things to do/remove pre-distupgrade like last time? It soesn't seem to be on the upgrade guide...
[04:18] <RedFoxy> and i've a strange troubles with kaffeine, when i scan satellite to search channel... it don'f found all channels, but just 23...
[04:19] <mc44> Magilla: the upgrade tool should allow you to do it without problems
[04:19] <Pelo> Gasten, tell us what happens when you try to boot the computer ?
[04:19] <Gasten> It sais "File System Check failled"...
[04:19] <ElllisD> Magilla- i saw something on ubuntu.com like that- dunno where tho atm
[04:19] <mc44> Magilla: unless you have installed lots of rubbish from 3rd party repositories :p
[04:19] <pingved> Pelo: other users don't have this problem , only me ... it must be something with gnome-panel, i test to copy all .gnome config from the other user to my home folder., probably helps
[04:19] <ElllisD> !upgrade\
[04:19] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about upgrade\ - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:19] <Magilla> mc44: that would most likely be me ;)
[04:19] <ElllisD> !upgrade
[04:19] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[04:19] <Magilla> thanks
[04:20] <mc44> Magilla: either case, there have been hardly any upgrade problems compared to last time
[04:20] <Gasten> Pelo, and I get booted into the console as root with the message telling me where the log is, and that I should fix it myself...
[04:20] <Magilla> nice
[04:20] <Magilla> mc44: Thanks. Just thought I'd ask first...
[04:20] <tomek__> HI ALL
[04:20] <Gasten> Pelo, also, all my files is in there.
[04:20] <Magilla> better to set up a win than recover a failure *cough*
[04:20] <maan84> Hello, sometimes my sound disappears and i have to reboot to get it back, can I somehow restart sound server or something? thank you
[04:21] <RedFoxy> pelo: i don't found anything about bluetooth in that page
[04:21] <mc44> Magilla: :)
[04:21] <Pelo> Gasten,  did you just upgrade to feisty using he online upgrade method
[04:21] <dose> omfg
[04:21] <Bromics> ElllisD, i still cant seem to figure out where. you mean inside xwindows?
[04:21] <lowie82ph> w/c is a better bt client, deluge or transmission?
[04:21] <Gasten> Pelo, no, I've been messing around a vit with dd if=/dev/hda and feeding the output to lame....
[04:22] <ElllisD> Bromics: not sure what xwindows means in that context
[04:22] <ircNewBie> hello everybody
[04:22] <lowie82ph> w/c is a better bt client, deluge or transmission?
[04:22] <vox754> !repeat | lowie82ph
[04:22] <ubotu> lowie82ph: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[04:22] <vox754> !repeat > lowie82ph
[04:22] <Gasten> Pelo, I might have switched so that I recorded a bit from an mp3 file to the beginning of my filesystem...
[04:22] <Bromics> ElllisD, that selection is in GUI or command line format?
[04:22] <orbin> lowie82ph: why don't you try them?  most of these things are personal preference anyway.
[04:22] <ElllisD> Bromics: are you chatting on another pc by chance?
[04:22] <lowie82ph> !patience
[04:22] <ubotu> The people here are volunteers, your attitude may determine how fast you are helped.  Not everyone is available all the time, likewise not every answer is available instantly. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[04:22] <Pelo> Gasten,  I think you might have accidentaly removed the boot flag from your boot partiton,  boot the live cd  and use gparted to restore the boot to the right partition
[04:23] <ircNewBie> I have an all white screen when Im going to enable the Desktop effect of Feisty/
[04:23] <lowie82ph> sorry i'm just new here
[04:23] <asgoo> when i run sudo gedit xorg.conf , i get gedit but its blank. i know the file exists as everyone has it, and without it i wouldnt see any windows. what am i doing wrong?
[04:23] <Gasten> Pelo, will that erease my data?
[04:23] <ircNewBie> any one has an idea what is this?
[04:23] <ElllisD> Bromics: in order to do X -configure, we gotta get X to stop running, so there's no GUI for anything at the time X -configure goes at it
[04:23] <Gasten> Pelo, should I very much do a backup before I preceed?
[04:23] <Bromics> ElllisD, yea im on my desktop. and ubuntu is on my laptop
[04:23] <IndyGunFreak> ircNewBie: what type of video device, adn do you have the drivers for it installed?
[04:24] <Pelo> Gasten,  just restoring the boot flag will not erase your data,  you are not repartitionning,  in gparted just select the right partition right clicck and  under the flag option just check boot
[04:24] <ElllisD> Bromics: to do that, we log outta gnome, or kde or whatever & be looking at the screen where its asking for a username
[04:24] <ircNewBie> according to xorg.conf i am using the VESA driver for my video
[04:24] <Gasten> Pelo, ok..
[04:24] <Pelo> Gasten,  making a backup is never a bad idea , whatever the circumstance
[04:24] <Bromics> ElllisD, ok lets make it easier with a step by step. How do I logout?
[04:24] <IndyGunFreak> ircNewBie: i didnt' ask what xorg.conf said... what type of video hardware do you have
[04:24] <orbin> asgoo: you have to be in the right directory or use the absolute path.  and you should use gksudo with gui apps:  gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:24] <RedFoxy> I need help with bluetooth! i can estabilish the connection with my headset but i don'f hear anythig (and no one can hear me)
[04:24] <ElllisD> Bromics: gnome or kde
[04:24] <ElllisD> ?
[04:25] <farchent_> may i have someone to help me install psybnc on my ubuntu?
[04:25] <Bromics> gnome
[04:25] <farchent_> how to install psybnc??
[04:25] <Gasten> Pelo, I'll try it. I'll come bakc if I run into problems.
[04:25] <Pelo> farchent_,  look for it in synaptic
[04:25] <berent> i had installed oracle xe and there was an icon in applications but now not there after upgrading to feisty  why?
[04:25] <toxic_> In pine, how do I display all contents of the INBOX folder {pop.mail.com/pop/user=_user_}inbox ? It refuses to show any mails located in the inbox-folder
[04:25] <Pelo> Gasten,  best of luck
[04:25] <asgoo> orbin: thanks , stupid mistake on my part.
[04:25] <Bromics> ElllisD, gnome
[04:25] <orbin> asgoo: no worries.
[04:25] <ElllisD> Bromics: i think its in the rightmost of those menus there at the top of the screen- exit, or logout or something
[04:26] <LjL> farchent_, psybnc is not available in the repositories. why don't you try using one of the many other irc proxies that are available there? type (with universe enabled) "apt-cache search irc proxy" and "apt-cache search irc bounc"
[04:26] <Shafto> Bromics, Then system --> logout
[04:26] <ircNewBie> sorry.. Im using the onboard video of ASROCK K7VM3 with chipset number KM266Pro and VIA VT8235 for North and south bridge respectively
[04:26] <LjL> farchent_: or the equivalent operations in synaptic
[04:26] <IndyGunFreak> ircNewBie: ok, ATI OR NVIDIA
[04:26] <TECH_1> Soyo?
[04:26] <ircNewBie> VIA
[04:26] <IndyGunFreak> nevermind.
[04:26] <Pelo> LjL, do you know how to CLI install a printer ?
[04:26] <IndyGunFreak> my suggestion is to not enable desktop effects
[04:26] <ircNewBie> I donot have the AGP Video. I use the Onboard video graphics
[04:27] <IndyGunFreak> ircNewBie: i understand that perfectly
[04:27] <lowie82ph> w/c is a better bt client, deluge or transmission?
[04:27] <ircNewBie> i see.
[04:27] <Bromics> ElllisD, and i logged into failsafe terminal console
[04:27] <ircNewBie> Do my system is capable of enabling the Desktop effect?
[04:27] <Pelo> lowie82ph,  deluge is a newcommer but it is promissing,
[04:27] <ElllisD> sweet
[04:27] <ircNewBie> or the white screen is a BUG?
[04:27] <IndyGunFreak> ircNewBie: doesn't sound like it.
[04:28] <ElllisD> Bromics: now do sudo X -configure
[04:28] <ircNewBie> what do u mean doesnt sound like it?
[04:28] <IndyGunFreak> ircNewBie: are you using Ubuntu or Kubuntu
[04:28] <IndyGunFreak> i mean it doesn't sound like it.
[04:28] <ircNewBie> UBUNTU 7.04
[04:28] <ElllisD> Bromics: i forgot a step before too so im glad it took so long
[04:28] <ConfidentiaL> what is a good alternative program to SpeedFan(windows app) for ubuntu? Its a program which monitors thermal sensors and manages fan speeds inside the computer
[04:28] <IndyGunFreak> ircNewBie: click System/Admin/restricted drivers manager.. and see if you need to install any restricted drivers
[04:29] <Pelo> ConfidentiaL,  fancontrol ,   see here for instructions   http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty
[04:29] <LjL> !pm | farchent_
[04:29] <ubotu> farchent_: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude.
[04:29] <ircNewBie> it says i dont have a restricted driver
[04:29] <oldude67> i have a really stupid question....why is it that every distro has to have its own downloading method?
[04:29] <LjL> farchent_: no, because psybnx as i said is not available from the repositories
[04:29] <oldude67> why cant there just be one?
[04:29] <ircNewBie> I dont need a restricted driver rather
[04:29] <IndyGunFreak> ok
[04:29] <Bromics> ElllisD, im getting the same fatal error that the server is already active for display
[04:29] <ElllisD> oldude67: you talkin about installing stuff?
[04:30] <LjL> Pelo: no, always did it from the CUPS web/kde interface... though under ubuntu, the web interface is not available. the command you want is probably lpadmin, but that's about all i know
[04:30] <ElllisD> Bromics: ctrl-alt-f7
[04:30] <Pelo> LjL,  that's the  most I've been able to find out so far , thanks
[04:30] <GaiaX11> Can you access  www.frostwire.com ? I'd like to download frostwire but the page do not come out. Could anyone check if it is only me that cannot get there please?
[04:30] <ElllisD> Bromics: whats that show ya?
[04:31] <Shafto> GaiaX11, Nope i cant get there either, guess its down
[04:31] <Bromics> ElllisD, nothing appear nor any reaction.
[04:31] <oldude67> elllisd: ya why cant there just be one ...i know now the difference between rpm and deb...but newbies like me sometimes get lost
[04:31] <ircNewBie> thanks IndyGunFreak
[04:31] <ElllisD> oldude67: i wonder the same thing- it sux
[04:31] <Sikavica> Does anybody know why DejaVu Sans Condensed doesn't appear in feisty? I have the ttf-dejavu package installed. And what can I do to solve this.
[04:31] <ElllisD> Bromics: crap
[04:31] <ufoporn> Hi i have strang e problem. When i start ubuntu, type username and password, nothing happens. There is only orange screen and cursor. Can someone help me?
[04:32] <farchent_> so cant run something that is not in the repositories?
[04:32] <Bromics> ElllisD, Any idea what next? Should I reboot then go into terminals?
[04:32] <richaoj> what up room
[04:32] <ElllisD> Bromics: i dunno if itll be easier for you to do plan a or b
[04:32] <GaiaX11> Shafto: So how do download frostwire (.deb) to install in ubuntu?
[04:33] <Bromics> ElllisD, if we got time here, we'll start with a?
[04:33] <ircNewBie> does anyone here got same xperience i had that I got an all-white screen when enabling the desktop effect of UBUNTU?
[04:33] <farchent_> yeah...i got this problems too
[04:33] <ElllisD> Bromics: we could reboot & tell grub to not start x in the first place, or go into the desktop & kill x over & over like 20 times to kill it then try
[04:33] <Shafto> GaiaX11, If the frostwire site is down i dont know
[04:33] <ircNewBie> what did u do Farchent?
[04:33] <ircNewBie> have u resolved it?
[04:33] <farchent_> yupe
[04:33] <ElllisD> Bromics: wanna learn a bit o grub?
[04:34] <Bromics> ElllisD, i think we try the grub first
[04:34] <ircNewBie> what did u do?
[04:34] <farchent_> i try to remember the position of the desktop position
[04:34] <ElllisD> Bromics: k, brb- self- refresher first
[04:34] <ircNewBie> can i private message u farchent?
[04:34] <farchent_> and then hit enter to disabled it...hehehe
[04:34] <Bromics> ElllisD, ok :)
[04:34] <farchent_> yupe...sure
[04:34] <ircNewBie> hahahaha
[04:34] <richaoj> irc nurbie : sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[04:34] <jrib> ufoporn: what are you using now?
[04:35] <ufoporn> windows maschine
[04:35] <koyo001> i need help
[04:35] <ElllisD> Bromics: yours prolly asks you to press esc to enter the menu at the very start of the boot process right?
[04:35] <koyo001> can someone help with a sun java problem
[04:35] <ufoporn> i cant run ubuntu
[04:35] <toxic_> In pine, how do I display all contents of the INBOX folder {pop.mail.com/pop/user=_user_}inbox ? It refuses to show any mails located in the inbox folder
[04:35] <chemisus> where are source files for applications usually saved to? i downloaded gedit-dev package to attempt to write a plugin, but cant find the source files =P
[04:35] <ElllisD> Bromics: do that if so
[04:35] <jrib> ufoporn: ok, on you ubuntu machine, hit ctrl-alt-f1 and tell us what it says when you type 'ls -ld ~/.{X,ICE}authority'
[04:35] <jrib> koyo001: you need to tell us the problem
[04:36] <Bromics> ElllisD, yea it's ESC
[04:36] <aidan> With the top panel, I can't seem to move the "networking" icon.
[04:36] <ircNewBie> il try that
[04:36] <ircNewBie> thanks for the tip
[04:36] <ufoporn> jrib: but when, if ubuntu doesent start. on logging screen?
[04:36] <GaiaX11> Shafto: The problem is that I dont know if it is down or closed forever? If it is only down, so I can wait, but if it is closed that's a big problem :-(
[04:36] <jrib> ufoporn: after pressing ctrl-alt-f1
[04:36] <ElllisD> Bromics: so after esc press e then go to the second line & e again
[04:36] <jimcooncat> how do I find what packages I have installed, and compare them to the default install? or does apt maintain a log file?
[04:37] <ufoporn> jrib: i mean when schould i press it
[04:37] <orbin> chemisus: you could use dpkg -L gedit-dev to show what it installed.
[04:37] <jrib> ufoporn: oh, when you get to the login screen (don't try to login)
[04:37] <Reggie> qwk ? - is there a way to install BERYL using the included package manager
[04:37] <ufoporn> ok
[04:37] <chemisus> orbin, thanks for the tip, but i found them =)
[04:37] <crockodie-brb-> i cant really install ubuntu
[04:37] <Shafto> GaiaX11, They wont have closed it, theres nothing illegal about th actual program itself hence no like RIAA can close it down
[04:37] <ireverentReveren> Reggie apt-get install beryl
[04:37] <crockodie-brb-> im losing hope now
[04:37] <chemisus> orbin, will keep that in mind next time hehe
[04:38] <Bromics> ElllisD, ok did that, it shows me something like <b-92bd....blah......blah..... ro quiet splash
[04:38] <orbin> chemisus: s:) so what was your method?
[04:38] <chemisus> orbin, after asking the question, i remembered that header files go in include dir... so i just checked there
[04:38] <fiXXXerMet> I took and created a partition on /dev/sdc, formatted it as reiserfs, and rebooted.  After rebooting, the drive is showing as /dev/sda, and the other two got pushed back to sdb and sdc.
[04:38] <ElllisD> Bromics:  I gott remember how to get it to do runlevel 2- trial n error on my laptop so i dont tell ya wrong
[04:38] <orbin> aidan: is it locked?
[04:38] <GaiaX11> Shafto: So, I think I will wait until it comes up again :-)
[04:39] <herbaliser> anybody knows a good program to download from newsgroups?  Like grabit on windows or newsleecher
[04:39] <Bromics> ElllisD, ok take ur time :)

[04:39] <koyo001> here is the problem

[04:39] <Shafto> GaiaX11, Id wait a few hours and try again
[04:39] <asgoo> i have just been trying to boot from a gentoo live cd. i got this error message when trying to load x window system.  /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libGLcore.so is an undefined symbol. Failed to load "GLcore".   what does this mean and how can i solve this problem in feisty 7.04?
[04:39] <koyo001> in order to know my problem
[04:39] <ireverentReveren> Reggie beryl is a standard package
[04:40] <Reggie> ok will try with the cli on livecd - thx
[04:40] <fiXXXerMet> /dev/sdb1 is mounted as /, but /dev/sda1 should be mounted as /
[04:40] <zx80user> Feisty removed wordpress - can I ask why? - and how do I restore my blog to its former glory?
[04:40] <koyo001> i ve been struggling on this one for close to 2 days now
[04:40] <ireverentReveren> Reggie not sure it will work on the livecd
[04:40] <jimcooncat> herbaliser, I use Pan
[04:40] <koyo001> help
[04:41] <herbaliser> ok jimcooncat tnx
[04:41] <Reggie> i still have to clear space on XP partition before i can install ubuntu.
[04:41] <koyo001> sun java problem
[04:41] <Reggie> will try anyhow.
[04:41] <|Chapayev|> im setting up a fairly nice laptop for someone - so far i got 704 up and running, should i try to make the Kubuntu environment availbl
[04:41] <|Chapayev|> also? and any progs in partclr?
[04:41] <gradin> anybody know how i can disable suspend mode in feisty?
[04:41] <ireverentReveren> |Chapayev| you should have installed kubuntu if you wanted a nice laptop
[04:41] <gradin> or atleast disable acpi entierly?
[04:42] <aidan> orbin: There's no unlock option in right-click
[04:42] <herbaliser> jimcooncat does it support nzb files?
[04:42] <ireverentReveren> |Chapayev| amarok, dvd codecs, k3b + mp3 files, etc
[04:42] <GaiaX11> |Chapayev|: I'd stick to gnome and not kde
[04:42] <lsproc> gradin: --acpi=off on the kernel line IIRC
[04:42] <jimcooncat> herbaliser, sorry, I'm not deep into it
[04:42] <ireverentReveren> GaiaX11 he said "nice laptop" not "klunky unusable laptop"
[04:43] <crockodie-brb-> argh headache for this ubuntu
[04:43] <orbin> aidan: what options do you see?
[04:43] <brockoli> is there anyone on who could help me with my lirc install?
[04:43] <atlantis> i have ubuntu and beryl installed, but after i log on, i get a blank screen for about 3 minutes, and then everything works correctly, but i have this error message 'Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.' has anyone seed this before?
[04:44] <ElllisD> Bromics: dude i cant remember lets do plan b itll be quicker
[04:44] <|Chapayev|> wait - has the boat sailed - u can just get the KDE frontend after the fact - or is that less ideal (from a tech pov)?
[04:44] <Bromics> ElllisD, okies :)
[04:44] <GaiaX11> ireverentReveren: It is your opinion. I am not guilty if you do not know how to use gnome or dont like it. Kubuntu has too many things. So, I prefer gnome
[04:44] <ireverentReveren> |Chapayev| it is only less ideal in that you wasted all that harddrive space on gnome
[04:44] <Salamandre> Hey.
[04:45] <ElllisD> Bromics: so reboot & at the logon screen do ctrl-alt-backspace over & over
[04:45] <ireverentReveren> GaiaX11 I have yet to see a gnome install that didnt look like something from mac OS 7
[04:46] <ElllisD> Bromics: every time the screen tries to come back- as soon as you see the mouse thing there do it again till it stops coming back-
[04:46] <|Chapayev|> ok - thanx for the quick opinion poll = i certainly did not mean to touch anything off - and I heard good thoughts on both sides
[04:46] <ireverentReveren> GaiaX11 i could not stand to look at that for more than 5 minutes, let alone work at it
[04:46] <ElllisD> Bromics: something like 10 times i think- still trying on mine to see
