[11:59] <KrisWood> ok I found the config file :)
[11:59] <KrisWood> thanks
[11:59] <kevinz> oskude: i think they are all ok. i am using thinkpad. and i tried to use external speaker and buildin speaker

[11:59] <IRCMonkeyx> is there any chance when i am on xp, to to see drive E(which has ubuntu)?
[11:59] <kuzmaster> any help?
[12:00] <apikoros> IRCMonkeyx, sec
[12:00] <oskude> juhuu, i gotta go,
[12:00] <IRCMonkeyx> apikoros: ok friend
[12:00] <apikoros> KrisWood drop the '#' to uncomment it, and change ~ to /home/somedirectory
[12:00] <kuzmaster> can anyone help me with my problem
[12:00] <apikoros> (not neccessarily 'home', just using it as an example)
[12:01] <njan> apikoros, he figured out how NTFS worked and wrote his own driver for it to add NTFS support to DOS.
[12:01] <kuzmaster> anyone at all?
[12:01] <Knome> !ask
[12:01] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:01] <apikoros> kuzmaster, what is it?
[12:01] <kuzmaster> ok ,ill explain again
[12:01] <apikoros> KrisWood, save the file, then you need to restart proftpd, something like "sudo /etc/init.d/proftpd restart"
[12:01] <KrisWood> apikoros I don't understand what you mean, i already set the user's home directory to the appropriate directory on the web server, but I don't see anything about individual users in this ftp config file
[12:02] <apikoros> KrisWood, "~" expands to the specific user's home directory, so if my username is "someuser", and my home directory is "/home/someuser", and you set DefaultRoot to ~, i will be locked in /home/someuser, which to me will appear as /
[12:02] <boha_> how can i add a system tray applet to the panel in gnome?
[12:03] <kuzmaster> apikoros, when i configure my wireless card to be done by dhcp, firefox comes out with an error straight away, but when i cofigure it witha static ip address, it just keeps loading that pages
[12:03] <Shere`Khan> if i put the .iso on a CD it is bootable ?
[12:03] <kuzmaster> apikoros, or searching for it or somthing
[12:03] <kuzmaster> Shere`Khan, depends
[12:03] <apikoros> IRCMonkeyx, what file system type is your root partition? you can type "mount" with no arguments in linux to find out.
[12:03] <kuzmaster> Shere`Khan, did you download it from the ubuntu/kubuntu website?
[12:03] <Shere`Khan> yes
[12:03] <Shere`Khan> ubuntu server
[12:04] <kuzmaster> Shere`Khan, then yes, it should be bootable
[12:04] <Shere`Khan> i burn it like it is ?
[12:04] <bertu> hey
[12:04] <apikoros> KrisWood, does that make sense?
[12:04] <zcat[1] > kuzmaster: does either configuration actually work?
[12:04] <KrisWood> apikoros I do not have my web server configured to let users use their home directories as web accessable directories, i am the only user that uses the web server portion of it so I use /var/www/ and the client's files are stored in a sub directory of that
[12:04] <kuzmaster> no
[12:04] <IRCMonkeyx> apikoros: in ubuntu drive e  is ext3, my drive c is ntfs, and now chancing drive d to fat32 now
[12:05] <neuron_> hey
[12:05] <kuzmaster> im on kubuntu now, and i have read/write access to my ubuntu drive
[12:05] <neuron_> i got a problem with firefox
[12:05] <neuron_> i installed the flash plugin
[12:05] <KrisWood> I need some co workers to be able to access and upload to that directory, but not be able to navigate throughout the rest of the filesystem
[12:05] <bertu> about 3 days ago i swiched to ubuntu from xp and i backed up my music...and the music player says that i dont have a decoder to play...what can i do?
[12:05] <neuron_> but i1m having problems with some sites
[12:05] <zcat[1] > kuzmaster: ok.. static case, you have an IP address, firefox sends an address lookup and waits forever for a reply, but you have no connection. DHCP case you have no ip address assigned, firefox fails immediately because there's no way to send a DNS request
[12:05] <boha_> how can i add a system tray applet to the panel in gnome?
[12:05] <kuzmaster> !mp3
[12:05] <apikoros> IRCMonkeyx, you need http://www.fs-driver.org/index.html
[12:05] <KrisWood> since the home directories are not web accessable they won't do at all

[12:06] <apikoros> IRCMonkeyx, read the FAQ there
[12:06] <zcat[1] > make sense?
[12:06] <IRCMonkeyx> apikoros: ok, thanx
[12:06] <neuron_> but for example http://www.g4tv.com isnt showing the way it should
[12:06] <kuzmaster> zcat[1] , kinda
[12:06] <apikoros> KrisWood, check private msg
[12:06] <kuzmaster> zcat[1] , ummm, 4get wat i was about 2 say

[12:06] <KrisWood> ok
[12:07] <intelmanx86> is there anyway to use two pppoe connections on one dsl modem
[12:07] <kevinz> i am trying to solve sound problem, ubuntu has sound but not nice, and lspci does not show sound card, is anything wrong?

[12:07] <intelmanx86> is there anyway to use two pppoe connections on one dsl modem
[12:08] <kuzmaster> zcat[1] , do you want to see my config 4 my card 4 kubuntu?
[12:08] <KrisWood> apikoros I responded
[12:08] <intelmanx86> ?
[12:08] <avis> i've often wondered if i could connect to my router both wirelessly and wired.
[12:08] <apikoros> kriswood, i didn't see anything, strange
[12:08] <KrisWood> apikoros it says that private messages are currently blocked
[12:08] <zcat[1] > kuzmaster: err... no really :)
[12:08] <apikoros> KrisWood, just join #kriswood temporarily
[12:08] <KrisWood> ah ok I hadn't identified
[12:09] <kuzmaster> zcat[1] , ok then, so wat do i do then?
[12:09] <apikoros> yeah

[12:09] <kuzmaster> zcat[1] , i think i used the same settings
[12:10] <zcat[1] > doubleckeck the AP name.. or just set it to ANY
[12:10] <avis> zcat is there anyway to connect that way -- wirelessly specifiying a gateway and dns server and netmask ?
[12:10] <boha_> how can i add a system tray applet to the panel in gnome?
[12:10] <sobersabre> hi guys, there's a website declaring misc. local ubuntu teams.
[12:10] <kuzmaster> when i config it, in the drop down menu for the essid, it has a name there?
[12:11] <sobersabre> what is their role ? are they anyhow affiliated with Canonical or Ubuntu in the official sense ?
[12:11] <yaniv_abir> can anyone help me connect to my home windows network? it worked a few days ago but now Ubuntu just doesn't see it (win xp does)
[12:11] <maddox> Can anyone explain why XGL runs fine when my laptop had 512MB RAM but upgrading it to 2GB (still paired memory, same speed etc) means that XGL runs like a dog and is jerky all the time?
[12:11] <zcat[1] > avis: ?? didn't understand the question. Once you have an AP and channel, the rest works like any other network interface, you have an IP and stuff.. you can dhcp it or set it statically.
[12:12] <yaniv_abir> maddox: maybe you have a problem with your memory sticks?
[12:12] <avis> zcat so by command line i specify a channel ranging from 1-11 ?
[12:12] <zcat[1] > if you have an IP set manually but no wireless connection it's like having a static IP on eth0 and having the cable unplugged.
[12:12] <maddox> yaniv_abir: Possibly, but they're brand new and good quality
[12:13] <zcat[1] > avis: it'll scan them all until it finds an AP
[12:13] <yaniv_abir> maddox: use memtest on boot up through grub to test them.
[12:13] <avis> zcat i have often tried to connect wirelessly using the standard out of the box "networking" in gnome-desktop but it never seems to connect.
[12:13] <maddox> yaniv_abir: Okay, i'll be back in 3 days when memtest has finished then :P
[12:13] <Gasten> Some knows how you switch the default encoding (UTF8) to something else?
[12:13] <avis> zcat should i try dhcp first ?
[12:14] <zcat[1] > if you have a dhcp server, yeah..
[12:14] <yaniv_abir> gasten: which client are you using?
[12:14] <avis> well my AP and my WEP key are dhcp but can be assigned static on wired lan

[12:15] <Gasten> yaniv_abir: If it were about the irc-client, I wouldnt ask here. I men in ubuntu.
[12:15] <avis> zcat my dad bought a wireless lan printer shared on my windows workstastion and his two windows machines
[12:16] <avis> the thought of neighbors printing notes to us is scary :)
[12:16] <yaniv_abir> can anyone help me with my window network? it disappeared - nothing is shown under windows network, and manual location doesn't work, in win it works fine...
[12:16] <zcat[1] > I should set up wep just so I know how it works :)
[12:17] <Kn10> hey all. I have a question, I would like to install Ubuntu. I currently have 2 partitions existing (one being my XP parition which is fat32, and an empty fat32 parition which i would like to format and install Ubuntu on. I have previously had Mandrake on this PC and I use the mandrake bootloader. If i install Ubuntu do you forsee any issues with the preexisting bootloader that Mandrake installed (i think its Grub)?
[12:17] <Shere`Khan> i have 4 lines of adsl .. can i put them all in one server ?? and manage them with ubuntu server ?
[12:17] <Lynoure> zcat[1] : why not wpa?
[12:17] <Lynoure> zcat[1] : (ok, why bot both?)
[12:17] <yaniv_abir> Gasten: what do you want to change the encoding for? file system?
[12:17] <avis> zcat want to work together ?  there is a network-manager-gnome that supports WPA that i might like in the future.
[12:18] <yaniv_abir> Kn10: Ubuntu's install should recognise your mandrake installation
[12:18] <zcat[1] > brb going to config the laptop..
[12:18] <boha_> how can i add a system tray applet to the panel in gnome?
[12:18] <Gasten> yaniv_abir: The who OS! Some programs cant set the encoding, so they take the default thing.
[12:19] <yaniv_abir> Gasten: just a sec
[12:19] <Tomcat__> Kn10: You can't install Ubuntu on Fat32 afaik.
[12:19] <Gasten> yaniv_abir: And I am from sweden, and uses wierd characters lika !
[12:19] <Kn10> yaniv_abir, I have removed mandrake (currently just a FAT32 drive)
[12:19] <campfire> yaniv_abir: I can see my windowsnetwork, what i think is the solution: system> administration> shared folders , i believe i got a option to install a package which i think fix the problem
[12:19] <rixxon> any easy way to find all installed non-application packages which nolonger has any reverse dependencies on the system?
[12:19] <Tomcat__> rixxon: Install debfoster and run it as root.
[12:20] <Kn10> Tomcat_, I know that which is why i said "format and install" (meaning format to ext#)
[12:20] <Kn10> or something
[12:20] <rixxon> Tomcat__: thank you
[12:20] <Tomcat__> Kn10: Oh, overread that, sorry. :)
[12:20] <oskude> who ever i was helping, sorry had to leave in hurry
[12:20] <Kn10> iits cool, i probably should have said "reformat"
[12:20] <IRCMonkeyx> apikoros: thank you very much i solved my problem. may i ask you one more question about kernel?
[12:20] <Kn10> Tomcat, any idea on my question?
[12:21] <Tomcat__> Kn10: Do you still use Mandrake?
[12:21] <Kn10> nope, want to replace it with Ubuntu
[12:21] <Tomcat__> Kn10: Then I don't foresee any problems. But that's not a guarantee :)
[12:21] <Kn10> mandrake is no longer on the system, the ex mandrake drive is formatted to Fat32 (i was using just windows for a while)
[12:21] <yaniv_abir> campfire: tried that, still doesn't work...
[12:22] <Kn10> but the Grub bootloader (which mandrake originally installed) remains
[12:22] <Tomcat__> IRCMonkeyx: Just ask :o
[12:22] <Tomcat__> Kn10: I'm pretty sure Ubuntu will install its own bootloader.
[12:22] <Kn10> and overright the one Mandrake put in?
[12:22] <Tomcat__> Kn10: Probably, yes.
[12:22] <nodie> hi
[12:22] <nodie> I've installed Ubuntu 6.06
[12:23] <Kn10> ok, thanks
[12:23] <Tomcat__> Kn10: That's why I asked if you were still using Mandrake... that *might* pose problems.
[12:23] <yaniv_abir> Kn10: ubuntu will reinstall grub, but it'll detect window (or it should)
[12:23] <nodie> and I can't access my printer
[12:23] <nodie> there is no /dev/usb/lp0
[12:23] <Kn10> yaniv_abir, great, thanks for the help uys
[12:23] <zcat[1] > hmmmm wep is too hard.
[12:23] <Kn10> *guys
[12:23] <nodie> is this an error?
[12:23] <Tomcat__> Kn10: As yaniv_abir said, it will detect Windows, but not another distribution... I doubt it.
[12:23] <IRCMonkeyx> Tomcat_: i am trying to install my modem since two days. There is a code , it says put it into kernel, i dont know how to put into kernel?
[12:23] <nodie> I've read that many people has the same problem
[12:23] <Kn10> thanks
[12:23] <zcat[1] > !wep
[12:23] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[12:24] <Tomcat__> IRCMonkeyx: It really depends on what *exactly* it says.
[12:24] <yaniv_abir> Tomacat_: He doesn't have another distribution installed, and anyway I think it should detect other linux installs anyway.
[12:24] <Tomcat__> yaniv_abir: Yeah that's why it will be okay... but I'm not sure if Ubuntu will find other distros... mh.
[12:25] <apikoros> hey everyone, what's a good vnc server that can be easily configured to run as a daemon (i.e. has it's own /etc/init.d script)
[12:25] <Hit3k> grrr
[12:25] <apikoros> yaniv_abir, are you fruitful or knightly?
[12:25] <Tomcat__> apikoros: vino? :)
[12:25] <apikoros> Tomcat__, thanks
[12:26] <IRCMonkeyx> Tomcat_: i asked in forum too, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1222958&postcount=4   this is the link ,could you look at it?
[12:26] <Tomcat__> apikoros: Really depends on what you want to do exactly.

[12:26] <Tomcat__> !kernel
[12:26] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux'). You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild

[12:27] <IRCMonkeyx> Tomcat_: thanx
[12:28] <yaniv_abir> apikoros: do I know you?
[12:28] <Tomcat__> IRCMonkeyx: I'm just not sure where you can get to the screen shown in the forum posting...
[12:28] <yaniv_abir> can anyone help me connect to my windows network? I have dapper
[12:29] <apikoros> yaniv_abir, no, just punning on your name, never mind
[12:29] <Tomcat__> IRCMonkeyx: I *think* where it says "modifying the source", you do "make config"
[12:29] <apikoros> make xconfig for a nicer interface
[12:30] <Tomcat__> IRCMonkeyx: Yeah... use xconfig or menuconfig... don't use make config :)
[12:30] <IRCMonkeyx> Tomcat_: it is for globespan modem, i am getting crayz, since two days i cant install  a modem driver , this is my first linux experiment. I will try xconfig :)
[12:30] <apikoros> yaniv_abir, what's yr windows network? file/printer sharing or just shared internet?
[12:30] <Tomcat__> IRCMonkeyx: http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/tutorials/kernel-pkg/config-kernel-pkg.html.en <--- You'll see the screen in 4.3 when you do "make menuconfig"... there you can find the settings the README told you.
[12:30] <boha_> how can i add a system tray applet to the panel in gnome?
[12:30] <kuzmaster> zcat[1] , earlier you said somthing about the right channel
[12:31] <apikoros> boha, right click anywhere on the panel
[12:31] <kuzmaster> zcat[1] , what did you mean by that?
[12:31] <Tomcat__> IRCMonkeyx: I doubt you'll succeed though... building your own kernel is quite difficult. It's probably better to ask other people how they got it to work...
[12:31] <Tomcat__> IRCMonkeyx: Most hardware problems can't be fixed by recompiling anyway, because the Ubuntu kernel is already built pretty well (contains anything).
[12:32] <IRCMonkeyx> Tomcat_ : i have no one around to ask :( , the only way to make it myself
[12:32] <moshe> good morning
[12:32] <apikoros> Tomcat_, contains anything != built pretty well ;)
[12:32] <moshe> did the latest updates screw up anyone else's screen fonts?
[12:32] <moshe> all my fonts got much smaller except in firefox
[12:32] <apikoros> moshe, check your dpi settings in xorg.conf
[12:32] <moshe> when I enlarge all my fonts, everything gets back to normal, but then firefox's fonts go huge
[12:33] <apikoros> moshe, i had a similar problem, firefox doesn't really obey xorg.conf dpi settings
[12:33] <apikoros> you have to change them to match
[12:33] <scheuri> moshe: you can adjust the fonts in firefox seperatly...
[12:33] <Tomcat__> IRCMonkeyx: There's ubuntuforums....
[12:33] <moshe> what caused this change?
[12:33] <apikoros> moshe, dunno. you can do what scheuri suggests, but it will cause fuckups when websites specify a particular pixel size
[12:34] <IRCMonkeyx> Tomcat_: i asked there in two different forum, noone answered until yet, i opened two threads
[12:34] <moshe> where am I looking for the dpi settings in xorg.conf?
[12:34] <apikoros> moshe: http://www.mozilla.org/unix/dpi.html
[12:35] <Tomcat__> IRCMonkeyx: Well... I'd probably buy a new modem and sell the old one in that case... unfortunately some things just don't work easily. Or you find somebody who will help you locally to get through the compile thing.
[12:35] <apikoros> moshe, it's actually /etc/X11/Xresources , my mistake
[12:35] <yaniv_abir> apikoros: my network is file/printer sharing
[12:35] <apikoros> yaniv_abir, did you install samba?
[12:35] <yaniv_abir> apikoros:I did
[12:36] <moshe> Xresources is a directory
[12:36] <yaniv_abir> apikoros: and anyway, it worked out of the box, until it just disappeared one day
[12:36] <IRCMonkeyx> Tomcat_: first i will try to do myself, if i cant, i will exchange my modem someone's else :D
[12:36] <moshe> I just set my UI font to Sans 12, and now Firefox's fonts are ridiculous
[12:37] <apikoros> hm, read up on this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba
[12:37] <apikoros> moshe, UI font != font dpi
[12:37] <moshe> I have my default font set at 16, but changing the UI font didn't change the font rendering in Firefox like it did the Firefox UI font.
[12:37] <moshe> apikoros, I know that.
[12:37] <yaniv_abir> apikoros: maybe I should try to uninstall samba? (I think) it was only installed when I tried to setup a shared folder within ubuntu
[12:37] <Tomcat__> IRCMonkeyx: Good. :)
[12:37] <MushroomN> hi all, i have a HP nx6120 Laptop that i think isn't displaying 1400x1050 res. I have downloaded the 810 drivers that are from http://www.fairlite.demon.co.uk/intel.html but how do i install it?
[12:37] <moshe> I'd just like everything to go back to the way it was last night :)
[12:37] <IRCMonkeyx> :)
[12:37] <Tomcat__> MushroomN: The 810 drivers are already installed with Ubuntu.
[12:37] <apikoros> moshe, read the link, it'll help
[12:38] <moshe> Firefox's display resolution is 96 dpi
[12:38] <kevinz> hello, i guess ubuntu choose a wrong soundcard driver for me. where can i change it?
[12:38] <Tomcat__> kevinz: System => Prefs => Sound (bottom)
[12:38] <Tomcat__> kevinz: Eh... sorry, misread that.
[12:39] <Tomcat__> kevinz: How did you find out it uses the wrong driver? That shouldn't happen usually... :o
[12:39] <MushroomN> ok, if they are installed why do i not get the option to set it to 1400x1050 in the screen resolution?
[12:39] <apikoros> moshe, set it to zero and it'll match X
[12:39] <moshe> really?
[12:39] <apikoros> moshe, in theory ;)
[12:39] <Tomcat__> MushroomN: Where do you check that?
[12:40] <moshe> I just set it to the system setting, and now the preferences looks normal, but the firefox main window isn't.
[12:40] <apikoros> moshe, in the page i sent you, read the paragraph starting "If none of the above or variations thereof work, as a last resort, you can use the brute force"
[12:40] <MushroomN> system/preferences/screen resolution
[12:40] <Tomcat__> MushroomN: If you use the "Screen Res" thingy, that's no use... you need to change the Xorg config manually.
[12:40] <kevinz> Tomcat__: thank you for replying. I am using laptop and i check some wiki and see the suggested driver is AC97 but the one in used is ICH6
[12:40] <kristian> Can anyone help me with my graphic card? ati, tried to make it work in 2 weeks now, but no.. it just won't change from the mesa driver.
[12:40] <moshe> ok
[12:40] <moshe> now Firefox is normal
[12:40] <HBuzacott> MushroomN, do you know your screens vertical refresh and horizontal sync?
[12:40] <moshe> thanks, apikoros
[12:40] <Tomcat__> MushroomN: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, there you can choose the res for the config.
[12:40] <apikoros> moshe, :)
[12:40] <moshe> interesting screen name, btw
[12:41] <apikoros> moshe, you israeli?
[12:41] <moshe> no, but I am Jewish
[12:41] <moshe> and I know what your screen name means
[12:41] <apikoros> ah
[12:41] <Tomcat__> kevinz: And sound does not work?
[12:41] <yaniv_abir> apikoros: where are you from?
[12:41] <IRCMonkeyx> apikoros: are you greek:)
[12:41] <apikoros> israel originally, vancouver for the past four years and for another three weeks
[12:41] <MushroomN> don't know the vertical refresh sorry.. have tried teh dpkg thing and still looks blury
[12:41] <apikoros> IRCMonkeyx, no
[12:41] <HBuzacott> Guys, can you guys move that to #off-topic
[12:42] <apikoros> HBuzacott, sorry, you're right
[12:42] <kevinz> Tomcat__: sound is working, that's weird, because the music or whatever, even the login sound, is not nice. and i can't find soundcard information from lspci or dmesg
[12:42] <yaniv_abir> apikoros: oh. and I thought you might be from my neighborhood...
[12:42] <IRCMonkeyx> i am originally arab from Lebanon
[12:42] <Tomcat__> kristian: Did you check the Wiki page on ATI cards?
[12:42] <nano-whatever> Hello people, does anybody has the audio problem in MPlayer trying to play a .mov file?
[12:43] <Tomcat__> kevinz: I highly doubt it's a wrong driver problem (Ubuntu loads drivers using the unique card IDs), rather a config problem...
[12:43] <IRCMonkeyx> best regards to israellian friends
[12:43] <moshe> My brother lives in Israel.  I was there last month for his wedding
[12:43] <HBuzacott> IRCMonkeyx, move it to #off-topic
[12:43] <apikoros> IRCMonkeyx, moshe, yaniv_abir, we should take it to #off-topic
[12:43] <yaniv_abir> best regards to our Lebanese friends too...
[12:43] <moshe> apikoros, nah.
[12:43] <moshe> I have to get ready for work shortly
[12:43] <HBuzacott> nano-whatever, do you have anymore info?
[12:43] <moshe> thanks for all your help, though
[12:44] <apikoros> k, regards to all. np, moshe.
[12:44] <yaniv_abir> sorry
[12:44] <kevinz> Tomcat__: oh. so why can't i see my soundcard in lspci , and what can i do now?
[12:44] <Tomcat__> kevinz: Well, you could describe what's wrong with the sound....
[12:44] <yaniv_abir> so no one know how I can "reset" all shares and home network related settings to default so I can connect to my windows network again?
[12:45] <apikoros> yaniv, you can try apt-get remove --purge samba
[12:45] <Tomcat__> kevinz: I don't know why you can't see it in lspci... I can. :)
[12:45] <apikoros> and then apt-get install samba
[12:45] <monomaniacpat> has anyone used a gamepad before? I want to change some analogue trigger to normal digital buttons
[12:45] <HBuzacott> yaniv_abir, you want to do a total reinstall, removing conif file?
[12:45] <HBuzacott> file*
[12:46] <yaniv_abir> HBuzacott: that would be nice
[12:46] <yaniv_abir> just to get it right - samba handles accessing windows shares?
[12:46] <phibxr> is there any software in the repositories capable of viewing a slide show with ken burns-like effects?
[12:46] <apikoros> yaniv_abir, do what i said, then, assuming the package name is actually samba
[12:46] <HBuzacott> yaniv_abir, do as apikoros says and sudo apt-get remove --purge samba && apt-get install samba
[12:46] <monomaniacpat> oooh! looks at the ubuntuforums makeover!!!!
[12:46] <kevinz> Tomcat_: oh i am sorry, i find it now. well the sound is kind of smother, if i use this word right.
[12:47] <HBuzacott> make that: sudo apt-get install samba
[12:47] <kevinz> Tomcat__: oh i am sorry, i find it now. well the sound is kind of smother, if i use this word right.
[12:47] <yaniv_abir> apikoros: sababa, I'll try it
[12:47] <HBuzacott> yaniv_abir, yep, SAMBA handles MS Windows shares
[12:47] <Tomcat__> kevinz: Well, don't really know about that... but it really sounds like a config problem. Maybe ask the forums, or wait if somebody here knows.
[12:47] <apikoros> yaniv_abir, wait one sec
[12:48] <panzar> i'm not allowed to start "gdm". it says "it's not the default window manager"
[12:48] <panzar> any ideas?
[12:48] <kevinz> Tomcat__: oh so there is config for sound right?
[12:48] <panzar> it was a kubuntu installation from the start.
[12:48] <apikoros> yaniv, "sudo apt-get remove --purge samba smbclient samba-common"
[12:48] <yaniv_abir> apikoros: do I need to reboot?
[12:48] <apikoros> yaniv, then "sudo apt-get install samba smbclient samba-common"
[12:48] <Tomcat__> kevinz: There is a config for almost anything...
[12:48] <apikoros> yaniv_abir, no, this isn't windows :P
[12:49] <apikoros> yaniv_abir, but you might have to do something like sudo /etc/init.d/smbd restart
[12:49] <kevinz> Tomcat__: oh yeah... so may i have a clue about the config part?.. i was searching for the problem blindly..
[12:49] <yaniv_abir> apikoros: well, years of using it have made it a reflex to reboot...
[12:50] <timalot> can you make a filter for the little update-notifier in the notification area so it doesnt tell u about certain packages u dont want?
[12:50] <hmrocha> hello
[12:50] <panzar> * Not starting GNOME Display Manager (gdm); it is not the default display manager.
[12:50] <kristian> Tomcat_: Yes..
[12:50] <apikoros> timalot, i think there's some config for that for apt, let me see
[12:50] <Tomcat__> kevinz: Well there's the esd config... alsa config... and so on. No idea what exactly you want, because I have no idea what's the problem.
[12:50] <hmrocha> i get a warning of packages that cannot be authenticated when using apt-get, i always say "y" but where can i get the key for this packages?
[12:50] <zcat[1] > !vnc
[12:50] <apikoros> timalot, i'm not on an ubuntu machine atm so it makes it hard to look
[12:50] <ubotu> vnc is a way of doing remote desktop.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !freenx.
[12:51] <jrib> hmrocha: use 'apt-cache policy package_name' to check what repository it is coming from.  What does it say?
[12:51] <peterretief> if i want to install a kde oprion do i just start with kde base?
[12:51] <Tomcat__> kristian: Yes what? I can't find what you're replying to, sorry. :)
[12:51] <zcat[1] >  system > preferences > remote desktop  exists by default and claims to enable vnc. But doesn't seem to start anything?
[12:51] <zcat[1] > anyone know?
[12:52] <timalot> apikoros... ok ill ive a little look... i thought some one might know
[12:52] <hmrocha> jrib: 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com dapper/universe Packages
[12:52] <jrib> peterretief: just use apt to install whatever kde program you want, it will take care of the depenencies it needs
[12:52] <jrib> !easysource > hmrocha
[12:52] <kristian> Tomcat_: I have read the wiki page;)
[12:52] <filo> i want install skype in my kubuntu 6.06 dapper and with the repository not work there are a metod for install???
[12:52] <HBuzacott> panzar, is kdm installed?
[12:52] <kevinz> Tomcat__: i see. this problem just can't be described but i cannot enjoy music either.. thank you very much.
[12:52] <jrib> hmrocha: create a sources.list with that repository at the page ubotu sent you and it should give you the gpg key
[12:52] <peterretief> jrib: ah ok, even give me the kde option on startup
[12:53] <sobersabre> is there a developers channel for ubuntu ?
[12:53] <zcat[1] > why does ubuntu package a really nice and potentially useful GUI tool that doesn't actually do a fscking thing?
[12:53] <jrib> peterretief: yeah, if you want kde, just install kubuntu-desktop.  Then you can choose it at the G/KDM login screen
[12:53] <sobersabre> zcat[1] : what do you mean ?
[12:53] <jrib> sobersabre: #ubuntu-dev
[12:53] <zcat[1] >  system > preferences > remote desktop  exists by default and claims to enable vnc. But doesn't seem to start anything?
[12:53] <peterretief> jrib: ah kubuntu desktop
[12:53] <hmrocha> jrib: thanks, i'll try that
[12:54] <peterretief> jrib: thanks
[12:54] <matth-w> Is there a good xmms plugin, easy to install, etc for x-chat that anyone could help me out with?
[12:54] <zcat[1] > no server is running, no ports get opened.. what's the point of having it if it doesn't do anything?
[12:54] <kristian> Tomcat_: You mean this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI, right?
[12:54] <jrib> zcat[1] : it presents me with a few options to check here
[12:55] <j-linux> Is there a keyboard shortcut or feature of GNOME on Ubuntu that would cause M-RET to stop working in emacs (running in GNOME terminal)?  I'm trying to get M-RET to work for html-helper-mode.
[12:55] <dibblego> is there a document that explains how to set up your own local package repository?
[12:55] <sobersabre> zcat[1] : remote desktop requires vnc package.
[12:55] <zcat[1] > jrib: yep. Then you close it and NOTHING happens.
[12:55] <sobersabre> do you have it installed ?
[12:55] <yaniv_abir> apikoros:still doesn't work... :(  maybe I'll reboot just to feel better...:)
[12:56] <sobersabre> yaniv_abir: what's your problem ?
[12:56] <zcat[1] > shouldn't they have made vino depend on a vnc server or something, since apparently it does actually need one?
[12:56] <yaniv_abir> sobersabre: windows network totally disappeared, though it still works in win xp
[12:56] <jrib> zcat[1] : it runs 'vino-server' here.  'ps -e | grep vino' give you anything?
[12:57] <zcat[1] > yes, it runs vino server here. What does vino server do?
[12:57] <jrib> zcat[1] : lets you connect from another computer
[12:57] <zcat[1] > sorry, no.. doesn't run anything here I mean
[12:58] <jrib> zcat[1] : is vino installed?  I believe it should be by default, but maybe something happened
[12:58] <zcat[1] > jrib: not here it doesn't.. hang on while I apt-get install --reinstall vino
[12:58] <kristian> Oh, Im talking with Tomcat__ :P You mean this page, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI, right?
[12:58] <sobersabre> zcat[1] : you should be careful in what you're saying over the internet P)
[12:58] <sobersabre> zcat[1] : it allows other local users to see YOUR CURRENT SESSION.
[12:58] <sobersabre> ok ?
[12:59] <zcat[1] > that's what I want. Here it runs the configuration dialog. Nothing else.
[12:59] <zcat[1] > No server. No open ports. No vnc server or any sort.
[01:00] <zcat[1] > I'll try reinstalling vino
[01:00] <matth-w> Is there a good xmms plugin, easy to install, etc for x-chat that anyone could help me out with?
[01:01] <sobersabre> zcat[1] : you are still not listening
[01:01] <sobersabre> it doesn't open and it shouldn't open any TCP ports.
[01:01] <zcat[1] > same problem.. vino<tab><tab> only shows vino-preferences. There is no vino-anythingelse isntalled by the vino package here.
[01:01] <sobersabre> it uses UNIX domain sockets.
[01:02] <jrib> zcat[1] : that's normal
[01:02] <orbin> matth-w: perhaps you should ask in #xchat
[01:02] <jaggz-> how the hell do I get java working in firefox under ubuntu... my friends?  :)
[01:02] <kristian> When I do "dmesg | grep fglrx" I can see a error: "[17179608.748000]  [fglrx:firegl_unlock]  *ERROR* Process 4607 using kernel contex" Anyone know what this means?
[01:02] <jrib> zcat[1] : dpkg -L vino
[01:02] <matth-w> orbin I've been trying
[01:02] <spatieman> SUN ?? :)
[01:02] <thunderbir1> I have hibernating problem
[01:02] <thunderbir1> can anyone help
[01:02] <zcat[1] > so how do local users conenct? vncviewer localhost:0 as suggested also fails.
[01:02] <oskude> !ask
[01:02] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:02] <jaggz-> I swear I've installed this thing a million times
[01:02] <thunderbir1> I think it is a bug but nothing like that is reported
[01:02] <thefish> apparently ubuntu can set up a certified lamp server with a single command. Google is full of this claim, but does anyone have any idea what this magic command is?
[01:03] <sobersabre> zcat[1] : , when you call vncviewer localhost:0, it should popup a little window "sombody iz trying to mess with your desktops, allow or declien ?"|
[01:03] <sobersabre> only after you allow, it runs.
[01:03] <monomaniacpat> has anyone here used an analogue joystick in ubuntu before?
[01:03] <sobersabre> thefish: yes
[01:03] <zcat[1] > also why's it called "Remote" desktop if it doesn't allow anyone but localhost to use it?
[01:04] <jrib> zcat[1] : it does allow other to use it
[01:04] <sobersabre> zcat[1] : this is second question.
[01:04] <sobersabre> :)
[01:04] <jaggz-> I've never used a vnc server under linux.. only server in windows and clients in windows/linux
[01:04] <oskude> thefish, sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 php5-mysql (or similar)
[01:04] <orbin> matth-w: or just google it: http://www.google.com.au/search?q=xchat+xmms  ... hits 1 and 3 look ok
[01:04] <jrib> !lamp > thefish
[01:04] <zcat[1] > sigh. How do I open up vnc accsee to this desktop for the rest of my lan?
[01:04] <sobersabre> zcat, you run vncpasswd, give a passord.
[01:04] <matth-w> orbin, I'm on the xchat script list, and I've been trying to get say xmms.control and the link is gone
[01:04] <sobersabre> then you run vncserver
[01:05] <zcat[1] > doen.
[01:05] <sugoruyo> hi all
[01:05] <matth-w> Then I try another, and it doesn't work either
[01:05] <zcat[1] > doen. It starts a new virtual server. Not this desktop. Black X with no desktop manager.
[01:05] <sugoruyo> i've a friend whose sources.list has been erased (?!)
[01:05] <zcat[1] > blank rather
[01:05] <sobersabre> then you can connect, if you have the VNC ports open, and no other network barriers
[01:05] <sugoruyo> is there a sample available somewhere?
[01:05] <zcat[1] > port 5900 and up?
[01:05] <sobersabre> zcat[1] : this is on purpose: vnc is often used over a modem connection.
[01:05] <zcat[1] > I opened 5900-5920
[01:06] <erUSUL> sugoruyo: source-o-matic
[01:06] <jrib> !easysource > sugoruyo
[01:06] <sobersabre> zcat[1] : you need to config .vnc/ folder, there's some file named xstartup
[01:06] <zcat[1] > Sorry. I want to have remote control of THIS desktop from my laptop. Cna this be done at all?
[01:06] <sobersabre> zcat[1] : man vncserver.
[01:06] <erUSUL> !vnc
[01:07] <ubotu> vnc is a way of doing remote desktop.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !freenx.
[01:07] <jrib> zcat[1] : that's what should happen after you use vino-preferences, all I do is allow it and then connect to my computer.  I get the current session
[01:07] <sugoruyo> thx
[01:07] <sobersabre> zcat[1] : the vnc runs on the same desktop as locally in windows, because windows doesn't allow 2 same users connected twice graphically.
[01:07] <sobersabre> linux allows it.
[01:07] <zcat[1] > here vion-preferences does absoultely NOTHING. No server. No ports opened (unix or network).   NOT   ONE   THING.
[01:08] <njan> sobersabre zcat[1] : the vnc runs on the same desktop as locally in windows, because windows doesn't allow 2 same users connected twice graphically. <= yes it does.
[01:08] <njan> sobersabre, the desktop versions don't.
[01:08] <zcat[1] > I've seen it done. In ubuntu.
[01:08] <zcat[1] > I know it's possible.

[01:13] <nao> hi, I'm on dapper drake, and everytime I try to run VLC I can load it, but the second I load a video, the player shuts down
[01:13] <nao> any ideas?
[01:14] <oskude> nao, run it from from terminal, then it should output some error messages that could help
[01:14] <jrib> nao: do you get any useful terminal output if you run 'vlc' in a terminal and make it crash?
[01:14] <jrib> oskude: good idea :P

[01:21] <Xappe> Daveyboy: do you have make installed? (or build-essential, apt-get install build-essential)
[01:21] <beazely> Daveyboy: easy on the repetition buddy, and do as xappe says and install build-essential
[01:21] <Daveyboy> Xappe, how do i test for make installed?
[01:21] <orbin> kristian: so something like apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx?
[01:22] <kristian> yes
[01:22] <KenSentMe> Daveyboy: just do sudo apt-get install build-essential
[01:22] <Daveyboy> okay
[01:22] <zcat[1] > Awesome!! It works as long as I'm not using compiz!! Cool. Now, do I file this as a bug against vino or compiz?
[01:23] <oskude> zcat[1] , is compiz even beta ?
[01:23] <kristian> I also did a slovenian guide, i got from hatred. I can give you a link, http://www.ubuntu.si/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=instaliranje_gonilikov_za_ati-jeve_karticei, if you don't see the page, search for ati-jeve and enter the link under.
[01:23] <orbin> kristian: run this in a terminal: grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf | tail -1
[01:24] <kristian> Driver "fglrx"
[01:24] <nao> xine also wouldn't load any of my files without additional codecs, I would like to keep using VLC because the lan streaming is very nice, and I'm used to it, if anyone else has any ideas, I would appreciate it
[01:24] <boha_> how can i add a system tray applet to the panel in gnome?
[01:25] <boha_> i click the right mouse button on panel the add
[01:25] <boha_> then add*
[01:25] <boha_> what next?
[01:25] <zcat[1] > that should work
[01:25] <jrib> boha_: it's labelled "notification area"
[01:26] <Jimmy704> ubuntu, kubunto, edu- and xubuntu... What shall i choose (as ubuntu-newbie)? So couse this is the ubuntu-room everyone here is for (default-) ubuntu, isnt it?
[01:26] <orbin> kristian: have you rebooted yet
[01:26] <kristian> orbin, yes it's a looong time since I did that guide
[01:26] <oskude> Jimmy704, default, if your pc has atleast 128mb ram
[01:26] <tuxta_> I compiled gvidcap into a .deb for Ubuntu Dapper, but have since misplaced the package. Rather that go through the process again, does anyone know of a suitable .deb package of gvidcap for dapper?
[01:27] <tuxta_> oskude:  isn't the recommended minimum 256 for dapper ?
[01:27] <oskude> tuxta_, well, works with 128mb here
[01:27] <zcat[1] > damn gdesklets keep using 100% CPU for no apparent reason..
[01:27] <tuxta_> fair nuff then
[01:27] <TMS> how does one change default charset to 8859-15? dpkg-reconfigure locales worked pre-Dapper and in Debian
[01:28] <Jimmy704> oskude: thanks. (so no problem with my 512mb)
[01:28] <oskude> Jimmy704, definetly not :)
[01:28] <paoloVN> i have this problem :mount -o loop guest_base.img /xenfs/mnt
[01:28] <paoloVN> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17407
[01:28] <Jimmy704> :)
[01:28] <tuxta_> gdesklets is wasted eye candy ... use XGL instead :)
[01:28] <kuzmaster> hello all
[01:28] <oskude> Jimmy704, btw, what ever you install, you can actually have them all, its just what as default on the cd
[01:28] <zcat[1] > I have both.. XGL doesn't give me the weather
[01:29] <tuxta_> zcat[1] :  heh, true
[01:30] <oskude> Jimmy704, kubuntu uses kde instead of gnome as default, xubuntu uses xfce4 instead gnome as default. edu... dunno what it uses, but has programms installed (as default) that are ment for schools and such... (AFAIK)
[01:30] <Jimmy704> oskude: well, i have to choose (cause of my 64kb internet connection *g*). btw, i already know knoppix (kde), do you?
[01:30] <oskude> Jimmy704, but in the end its all the same, and you can install them from default ubuntu with "sudo apt-get install kubuntu xubuntu" etc...
[01:31] <kuzmaster> in ubuntu 6.06, i can only open one application before i have to restart the machine, the rest just say their loading, then just stop and nothing else comes up
[01:31] <orbin> kristian: try the forum.  i recall seing a troubleshooting thread on the mesa issue there
[01:31] <kuzmaster> any help?
[01:31] <oskude> Jimmy704, yup know knoppix, but i missike kde :/
[01:31] <orbin> kuzmaster: what did you do? :)
[01:31] <kuzmaster> ummm, nothing i think
[01:31] <SonicChao> kuzmaster: What apps?
[01:31] <SonicChao> kuzmaster: Any recent software downloads/installs?
[01:31] <kuzmaster> terminal, firefox, calcualtor, evulation
[01:31] <kristian> orbin: Ok, I see if I can find it
[01:32] <kuzmaster> no, cos my wireless card wont work
[01:32] <nao> up above someone mention removing .vlc/, how do i do that?
[01:32] <oskude> kuzmaster, can you get terminal ? try starting programs from there and see if you get any error messages
[01:32] <zcat[1] > nao: mv .vlc .vlc-orig
[01:32] <kuzmaster> i can only start terminal if its the first app i open
[01:32] <SonicChao> kuzmaster: To start a program from terminal, just type it's name.
[01:32] <Jimmy704> oskude: :) so ubuntu is in my download-list! I make a rest. Bye!
[01:32] <ALDI> beezly: It's me again, the one who wanted to install oracle instantclient on a sparc ubunt machine. I just got an idea: would it help to install the oracle xe database?
[01:32] <kuzmaster> but when i closed terminal, no apps would open after that
[01:33] <oskude> Jimmy704, bb, have fun :)
[01:33] <SonicChao> kuzmaster: Open apps, from the TERMINAL.
[01:33] <SonicChao> kuzmaster: Do so by typing there name, just give it a try, k?
[01:33] <kuzmaster> ok
[01:33] <oskude> kuzmaster, open terminal, type "firefox" in it (without "") and press enter...
[01:33] <SonicChao> kuzmaster: O, make sure to spell them right
[01:33] <kuzmaster> ok
[01:34] <SMG|CH_> SonicChao how do u pronounce your nick cus i keep thinking sonic cow
[01:34] <kuzmaster> ill try that after i get more help for wireless
[01:34] <kuzmaster> dose ubuntu support d-link cards out of the box?
[01:34] <SonicChao> SMG|CH_: Lol...if you played Sonic Adventure you'd know, it's pronounced "Ciao"
[01:34] <SMG|CH_> hehe
[01:34] <SMG|CH_> I was thinkin like chaos but somehow it became sonic cow
[01:35] <oskude> kuzmaster, depends which chip it has
[01:35] <kuzmaster> it appears as a device
[01:35] <zcat[1] > chow?
[01:35] <nao> when programs are installed, what is the directory that they are installed to?
[01:35] <kuzmaster> it appears as ra0
[01:35] <SonicChao> zcat[1] : Yup
[01:35] <KenSentMe> nao: that depends
[01:35] <oskude> kuzmaster, i never use wireless, but do you find your card with "lspci" (command for terminal)
[01:36] <KenSentMe> nao: what program are you looking for?
[01:36] <kuzmaster> ummmm, maybe
[01:36] <kuzmaster> im not in it yet
[01:36] <zcat[1] > just occuren to me instead of having a <IP_ADDRESS> rule for each port I want open, I should just open 1-65535 to localhost.
[01:36] <kuzmaster> im in dual boot
[01:36] <nao> kensentme: I'm looking for my VLC folder.
[01:36] <SonicChao> SMG|CH_: Hehe....first question I ever got about my name :D
[01:36] <oskude> nao, binarys are normally in /usr/bin (and thats inn your PATH variable, so you dont need the path to execute them)
[01:36] <SMG|CH_> lol
[01:36] <zcat[1] > I think I can trust myself :)
[01:36] <kuzmaster> im trying to get vmware player
[01:37] <laozi> Does anyone here use mutt?  If so, why does it seem like Ubuntu doesn't create the default .muttrc file?
[01:37] <orbin> nao: there isn't "one folder for every app" like windows
[01:37] <SonicChao> kuzmaster: Can you talk to us on another computer?
[01:37] <kuzmaster> dont think so
[01:37] <kuzmaster> ill try
[01:37] <SonicChao> kuzmaster: Okay, if you can't just tell us
[01:37] <KenSentMe> nao: if you do 'locate vlc' you'll see that it's in /usr/share and /usr/lib
[01:37] <kuzmaster> i can, but the computer will be in another room
[01:38] <SonicChao> kuzmaster: If you can't close IRC, and come back with a similar (same) name, I will still be here
[01:38] <kristian> orbin, you have the link to the fglrx issue in forum?
[01:38] <orbin> laozi: perhaps you have to start it first to create one?
[01:39] <Carmen-> How do i install fluxbox to Ubuntu?
[01:39] <Carmen-> is it even possible
[01:39] <KenSentMe> !fluxbox
[01:39] <ubotu> fluxbox is a lightweight and responsive window manager for GNU/Linux. For how to set it up and more information see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fluxbox
[01:39] <SonicChao> Carmen-: sudo apt-get install fluxbox
[01:39] <SonicChao> Carmen-: first make sure that Mutiverse and Universe repos are on
[01:39] <_StarScream> hi guys, got an ibook g3 800 running dapper with an airport 802.11b card. I'm using  network-manager and the gnome-network-manager plugin. Its working well for ethernet connections, but not wireless.
[01:39] <Carmen-> from what apt source?
[01:39] <_StarScream> iwlist eth1 scan gives lots of wlans
[01:39] <SonicChao> !repos
[01:40] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[01:40] <KenSentMe> Carmen-: check the ubotu link
[01:40] <SonicChao> Carmen-: Follow the links
[01:40] <_StarScream> but none of them show up in network manager
[01:40] <_StarScream> is there anything special i have to do ?
[01:40] <laozi> orbin, nah, I started it...
[01:40] <orbin> kristian: this is the one i saw: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=143283&highlight=ati+mesa
[01:40] <SonicChao> KenSentMe: Thanks, I didn't know there was a !fluxbox Ubuntu link. :D
[01:40] <Carmen-> what the fuc
[01:40] <SonicChao> Carmen-: Be nice
[01:40] <KenSentMe> SonicChao: me neither, but i guessed it
[01:40] <Carmen-> i didnt want documentation howto add sources
[01:40] <SonicChao> Carmen-: Swaring get's you no where
[01:41] <Carmen-> i wan THE sources
[01:41] <oskude> _StarScream, make sure your wireles chip is supported by linux/ubuntu
[01:41] <kristian> orbin, thanks:)
[01:41] <_StarScream> oskude: did you read my comment about iwlist ?
[01:41] <SonicChao> Carmen-: Stop being rude, an op *may* greet you out the door
[01:41] <Carmen-> and Repositories are in stargate
[01:42] <oskude> _StarScream, well, i never used wireless, so dunno what iwlist does... have you searched wiki and forum ?
[01:42] <KenSentMe> Carmen-: then read what SonicChao wrote, you need multiverse and universe. And please check the wiki link for fluxbox
[01:42] <Carmen-> my god that is for beginners
[01:42] <Carmen-> "managing Repositories"
[01:42] <_StarScream> oskude: iwlist is the command line network scanning tool. i have checked the forums and the wiki to see if people are having a similar problem but i haven't turned up anything useful so far
[01:42] <kenas> !repos
[01:42] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[01:43] <Carmen-> i need the addresses
[01:43] <SonicChao> Carmen-: If you can't figure it out, YOU ARE a beginner.
[01:43] <Carmen-> not managin
[01:43] <SonicChao> Carmen-: Just read it!
[01:43] <fernando_> wenas
[01:43] <Carmen-> i need to read 2 lines
[01:43] <_StarScream> have not yet asked on the mailing list
[01:43] <kuzmaster> SonicChao, i can get on another computer, just installing the client now
[01:43] <Carmen-> the apt source lines
[01:43] <kuzmaster> brb
[01:43] <Carmen-> not 1030523lines
[01:43] <Carmen-> about things i know
[01:44] <Carmen-> "hi heres how you manage your sources BUT we are not giving you any sources"
[01:44] <SonicChao> Carmen-: I wish there was a Wiki Link for managing "A New User In Denial"
[01:44] <KenSentMe> Carmen-: we want to help you, but that doesn't mean you can sit back and relax so we do those things for you, it's already said that you need universe and multiverse
[01:44] <oskude> _StarScream, if you knew what module the chip needs, you could look in lsmod if its loaded...
[01:44] <laozi> Why do the most obnoxious people get the most help?
[01:44] <Carmen-> deb http://fi.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy main universe
[01:44] <Carmen-> that?
[01:44] <jrib> Carmen-: on the page you were linked to: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine#head-e1a24b1b2037f68b5a95f54388582b58ea4c9bd0
[01:44] <Carmen-> THANK YOU
[01:44] <SonicChao> laozi: What's you're problem?
[01:44] <SonicChao> laozi: I can try to help
[01:45] <oskude> _StarScream, but i saw someone (the other day) talking about airport cards...
[01:45] <Carmen-> and i take it as a very bad insult to give me noobie links
[01:45] <laozi> SonicChao, You can eat your boogers for all I care, I was just making an observation about the whole "squeaky wheel" paradigm.
[01:45] <Carmen-> like "how you manage ur sources WITH OUR GNOME SYSTEM"
[01:45] <Knome> @lart Carmen-
[01:45] <jrib> Carmen-: those aren't noobie links.  As you saw it had the information you needed, and remember people here are just trying to help you
[01:46] <Carmen-> ew stop lookin ;_;
[01:46] <rob> be greatful that people are giving you free help
[01:46] <kuzmaster> hello all
[01:46] <rob> don't complain about it
[01:46] <Carmen-> im grateful to jrib
[01:46] <kuzmaster> im now on another computer
[01:46] <SonicChao> Carmen-: How 'bout you just go pay for Conanical's commercial help? They obviously won't make mistakes.
[01:47] <KenSentMe> Carmen-: when you are not a noobie as you said, then you should have already seen the links to a fluxbox wiki
[01:47] <iamelite> Could anyone tell me a good Linux Program for Recording/editing Audio and video files. IE: if i wanted to insert frames and replace sound clips in a an Audio Video Interlace.
[01:47] <SonicChao> Carmen-: Because if you can't read a wiki, Canonical should be able to help, right?
[01:47] <Carmen-> wiki has too much text
[01:47] <skybox> hi... i'm pissed linux can't handle dual layer break, so I'm FORCED to dual boot with windows, is it possible to do it and have my ubuntu still up running without formating the entire hdd?
[01:47] <Carmen-> its like *BLAAH* *BLAAH*
[01:47] <jrib> iamelite: try kino
[01:47] <rob> !easyubuntu
[01:47] <ubotu> EasyUbuntu is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. For help with and discussion of easyubuntu please join #easyubuntu.
[01:47] <SonicChao> Carmen-: I know, the text is more important than the problem.
[01:47] <oskude> skybox, whats dual layer break ?
[01:47] <Nameeater> sounds a bit like you
[01:47] <iamelite> Kino
[01:47] <iamelite> ok
[01:47] <Carmen-> i dont wanna read any extra
[01:47] <Carmen-> just the thing i want
[01:48] <Carmen-> nothing more
[01:48] <laozi> skybox, yes
[01:48] <skybox> it's where the dvd reads the 2nd layer of a dual layer, dvd9
[01:48] <rob> Carmen-, see what ubotu just said
[01:48] <Carmen-> nothing about the fancy cool windows like gnome system
[01:48] <skybox> laozi, really? how!??!
[01:48] <skybox> like I said, WITHOUT killing my current linux setup - ubuntu
[01:48] <laozi> Carmen, YES.
[01:48] <SonicChao> Carmen-: For windows-like systems, see KDE.   Because you're going to need a couple had to find magical items, a voodoo priest, and two virgins pure as snow.
[01:50] <rob> KenSentMe, don't abuse that
[01:50] <KenSentMe> rob: it's no abuse, i don't think he should be in this channel anymore
[01:50] <skybox> laozi......... what the ???
[01:51] <rob> KenSentMe, why?
[01:51] <rob> I'm watching
[01:51] <KenSentMe> rob: lol, you are an op, didn't know that
[01:51] <skybox> laozi, so I take it it's not possible then
[01:51] <Gasten> Free idea: a way to drag your windows/applications down to a workstation and put hem there. That woul be cool.
[01:51] <laozi> skybox, Sorry, just trying to amuse myself while I wake up here.  *yawn*  No idea regarding your question.
[01:51] <Hobbsee> KenSentMe:?
[01:51] <gnomefreak> ?
[01:51] <skybox> oh ok
[01:51] <KenSentMe> rob: i think swearing and wont stop spamming is a good reason to let him leave the channel
[01:51] <skybox> hi... i'm pissed linux can't handle dual layer break, so I'm FORCED to dual boot with windows, is it possible to do it and have my ubuntu still up running without formating the entire hdd?
[01:52] <kuzmaster> SonicChao, im now in ubuntu, ive ran lspci and i think i found ym wireless card, it says somthing like RaLink device
[01:52] <kuzmaster> my**
[01:52] <Seveas> KenSentMe, please leave those decisions to the operators kthxbye
[01:52] <KenSentMe> Hobbsee, gnomefreak sorry, didn't know rob was an op
[01:52] <skybox> I mean... instead of installing windows first and then linux as  dual boot up, can I use ubuntu (the one i'm on now) and install windows?
[01:52] <SonicChao> kuzmaster: You can run programs from terminal, right?
[01:52] <kuzmaster> ill try
[01:52] <laozi> skybox, Although, I bet two virgins white as snow could wake me up right now if you know what I mean.
[01:52] <Carmen-> what other cool desktop managers is there?
[01:52] <guillem101> skybox, don't know what you are talking about... but it looks like vmware would help you on your purposes
[01:52] <Carmen-> than fluxbox
[01:52] <Carmen-> i want something light
[01:52] <SonicChao> Carmen-: XFCE.
[01:52] <oskude> kuzmaster, have you read these (if they apply) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=ralink&titlesearch=Titles
[01:53] <Flannel> skybox: you can.   XFCE is light but still powerful... and the new Tunar file manager is quite nice
[01:53] <KenSentMe> How can i see who are the ops on this channel?
[01:53] <Carmen-> trying to update ubuntu to newer version
[01:53] <SonicChao> Carmen-: If you sware at me one more time.....
[01:53] <Carmen-> resaulted
[01:53] <Carmen-> in shit place
[01:53] <kuzmaster> SonicChao, yeah i just ran firefox from terminal
[01:53] <orbin> how do i switch my gtk engine?
[01:53] <Seveas> KenSentMe, /cs access #ubuntu list
[01:54] <timalot> i have a package that comes up in dpkg -l as having a status of "rH" , dpkg -r --force-all wont remove it, how do i remove it?
[01:54] <SonicChao> kuzmaster: You said when you run multiple programs, it doesn't work, correct?
[01:54] <SonicChao> kuzmaster: Try running another program in terminal.
[01:54] <kuzmaster> i said that, ill try now
[01:54] <kuzmaster> brb
[01:54] <Mariws> where do i find IPcop ?? is free?? and some documentation pls
[01:54] <Seveas> timalot, you've put it on hold, that's why it's on rH - try purging it (dpkg -p)
[01:55] <skybox> Flannel. like I said, my current setup is: ubuntu, and I'm FORCED to dual boot with windows, i'm just wondering if I can install windows now on this system as well, aka running it along with my linux setup
[01:55] <Flannel> skybox: well, here's the page about restoring your grub.  As for what partition numbers you need to install windows on etc, I dont have a link.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[01:55] <Flannel> skybox: yeah, you just have to give it the partition numbers it wants, and then reinstall grub.
[01:56] <skybox> and it won't erase/format/overwrite my hdd?
[01:56] <KenSentMe> Seveas: thanx, but that command doesn't work /cs
[01:56] <Seveas> KenSentMe, /msg chanserv
[01:56] <Seveas> instead of /cs
[01:56] <kuzmaster> SonicChao, i cant run miltiple apps
[01:56] <kubuntu_> hola
[01:56] <Flannel> skybox: it'll install on the partitions you tell it to.  Youll want to free up some space in the right places) for windows.  I dont have that knowledge though.  Google would definately though.
[01:56] <kuzmaster> SonicChao, even from terminal
[01:57] <SonicChao> kuzmaster: Dang, I don't know what to tell you...
[01:57] <KenSentMe> Seveas: ok, dankje
[01:57] <SonicChao> kuzmaster: Ask the question again, and see if anyone picks it up
[01:57] <kubuntu_> need help about openGL
[01:57] <kuzmaster> ok
[01:57] <KenSentMe> kuzmaster: what is the problem?
[01:57] <oskude> kuzmaster, did you try like "firefox &" and then press enter and you should have prompt again...
[01:58] <kuzmaster> no
[01:58] <skybox> Flannnel, ok, but from what I gather this is a guide for someone who installed windows first??? I'm currently on ubuntu and I wish to install windows - dual boot
[01:58] <kuzmaster> ill try now
[01:58] <kuzmaster> brb
[01:58] <kubuntu_> someone here can give me help?
[01:58] <SonicChao> kubuntu_: Please state the whole problem.....we don't like to ask 20 questions.
[01:58] <kubuntu_> eheheh ok
[01:59] <RShadow> how can I add a user to a group via the command line?
[01:59] <kuzmaster> back
[01:59] <Seveas> RShadow, sudo adduser username groupname
[01:59] <Flannel> skybox: no.  That's a guide on how to reinstall grub, after windows hoses it.
[01:59] <kuzmaster> and no, that dosnt work either
[01:59] <iamelite> Starting up sound recorder, it gives me "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings." Where can i fix this?
[01:59] <avalost> Anyone know how I can edit a pdf file?
[01:59] <RShadow> Seveas, and that works even if the user already exists?
[01:59] <timalot> Seveas, thanx i manged to get rid off it
[01:59] <Seveas> avalost, on windows with acrobat
[01:59] <Seveas> RShadow, yes
[01:59] <RShadow> Seveas, Thanks
[01:59] <Flannel> skybox: this is the page for installing ubuntu after windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot, but that's not what you want.
[01:59] <avalost> Seveas: i don't have windows
[02:00] <Seveas> RShadow, 'adduser user group' adds user to group, won't create new user or group
[02:00] <skybox> aha
[02:00] <Seveas> avalost, then yell at adobe for not making acrobat for linux
[02:00] <SonicChao> Seveas: Neither do I....and I was waiting for this question for a while, Is there another way?
[02:00] <Seveas> or try your luck with wine/cedega
[02:00] <avalost> seveas I have acroread, isn't that adobe?
[02:00] <SonicChao> Seveas: lol, Japanese smiley face. :D
[02:00] <kubuntu_> i've installed GL screensavers..i can't understand why i can view the test and not the entire screensaver when i clic on "apply"
[02:00] <skybox> Flannel, and then use GRUB to install windows, right?
[02:00] <Seveas> avalost, that's adobe acrobat *reader*
[02:01] <m0gsi> Hey all how do you get a address bar in the file manager?
[02:01] <Seveas> which cannot edit
[02:01] <avalost> ahh
[02:01] <Flannel> skybox: basically, you'll resize your ubuntu partitions to leave space for windows, (in the right places, windows is fickle) and then install, and then re-install grub (as windows installs its own bootloader) to allow you to switch.
[02:01] <KenSentMe> avalost: you can edit a pdf page with gimp, but then it's not pdf anymore
[02:01] <kubuntu_> i've installed the most recent drivers
[02:01] <skybox> aha
[02:01] <Flannel> skybox: no.  grub choses which OS you boot to.
[02:01] <Flannel> skybox: you use a windows CD to install windows
[02:01] <kuzmaster> and also, when i do "iwconfig ra0 essid ANY" , it just appears to do nothing, but the cursor is then on the next line, and nothing before it
[02:01] <guillem101> m0gsi, CONTROL+L
[02:01] <skybox> thanks for your help Flannel, I'm gonna do some reading before I proceed :)
[02:01] <skybox> yaeh
[02:02] <kubuntu_> any idea?
[02:02] <m0gsi> wow guillem101 thanks
[02:02] <kuzmaster> any ideas for me?
[02:02] <guillem101> m0gsi, perhaps you are asking for not-spatial mode...

[02:02] <RShadow> Is it at all possible to install something without installing the depends? I've looked at the man pages for apt-get and I just can't seem to figure this out.  I need to install mailman without installing apache.
[02:02] <iamelite> When Starting up Gnome sound recorder I get the message "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings." Where are the multimedia settings, i do know my soundcard is set to promary in sys-pref- sounds.
[02:02] <kuzmaster> what should i see that command to?
[02:03] <m0gsi> guillem no this is fine :P
[02:03] <Flannel> RShadow: why are you doing that?
[02:03] <RShadow> Flannel, becuase I already have apache installed, but I compiled it from source
[02:04] <KenSentMe> RShadow: maybe the best way is to also comile mailman from source then
[02:04] <guillem101> m0gsi, note that Ctrl+L is also available at file-selection-dialogs
[02:04] <kubuntu_> i've installed GL screensavers..i can't understand why i can view the test and not the entire screensaver when i clic on "apply"
[02:04] <guillem101> m0gsi, for gnome apps, I mean, of course
[02:04] <kuzmaster> anyone?
[02:04] <SonicChao> kubuntu_: Do you have an OpenGL Graphics Card? (best guess)
[02:04] <RShadow> KenSentMe, ya I'm attempting that as well, the problem is I'm not sure what I need for the uid and gid.. postfix or mailman or what not..and the install docs don't make it very clear
[02:05] <kubuntu_> i've an integrated sis
[02:05] <skybox> Flannel wow
[02:05] <skybox> Flannel, http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Linux+Win9x+Grub-HOWTO/index.html WOW nice guide
[02:05] <skybox> that will explain EVRYTHING I need to know :)
[02:05] <Flannel> skybox: there you go ;)
[02:05] <skybox> ^_^
[02:05] <KenSentMe> RShadow: isn't there a mailman channel where you could ask? At least i wouldn't know what to do
[02:06] <RShadow> KenSentMe, sure.. I'll give it a try.
[02:06] <kubuntu_> SonicChao: i've an integrated sis..with debian in the past i was able to view 3d animations screensaver so..i suppose yes, i've opengl card :)
[02:07] <kuzmaster> what is iwconfig ra0 essid ANYsopposed to do
[02:08] <kuzmaster> is it supposed to output anything, cos ive had it running for a long time and it just appears to do nothing
[02:08] <oskude> kuzmaster, maybe "man iwconfig"
[02:08] <kuzmaster> ok, what would that do?
[02:08] <oskude> kuzmaster, never use iwconfig, but looks like it just edits the config file with that command
[02:08] <kuzmaster> ok....
[02:09] <oskude> kuzmaster, man iwconfig shows the manual page of iwconfig
[02:09] <SonicChao> kubuntu_: Okay, just checking...it was my best guess
[02:09] <kuzmaster> ive tried using the gui, but that hassnt worked for me
[02:10] <kubuntu_> SonicChao: sis drivers, gl screensavers..i can see the preview but not the "test"..blank screen..
[02:11] <oskude> kubuntu_, is that kde ?
[02:11] <kubuntu_> yes
[02:11] <manuparra> somebody know if may be possible use Xgl with ATI radeon
[02:12] <oskude> kubuntu_, maybe you have then better luck in #kubuntu
[02:12] <arthog> Hello! Does anybody know how to change the default media player to kaffeine when using gnome?
[02:12] <manuparra> i cant use 3d accel
[02:12] <kubuntu_> oskude: i was searching the chan in this moment :)
[02:12] <KenSentMe> arthog: if you have a media file, right click on it, choose open with and select the default application
[02:13] <KenSentMe> arthog: sorry, you first have to open the properties and then select open with
[02:14] <arthog> KenSentMe: I've done that, thanks. My problem is that I would like to use my keyboard's special buttons to start specific programs but I can't change the media player from system-default programs
[02:16] <tomohawk> Is anyone free to help me out with a boot loader problem at the moment?
[02:16] <kuzmaster> im just gonna give up and try using vmware
[02:16] <_StarScream> tomohawk: i'll try
[02:16] <oskude> we are all _free_ thats why we are here ;)
[02:16] <arthog> Tomohawk: What's wrong with it?
[02:16] <_StarScream> tomohawk: but it depends on hte problem
[02:17] <tomohawk> I installed Dapper onto my AMD64 onto an IDE hdd, with XP on a SATA drive, installed fine, Dapper boots fine, but XP hangs with just a flashing cursor about 3 lines down the screen
[02:18] <tomohawk> so I just tried installing lilo (yes, i usualyl manage to do the worst thing possible)
[02:18] <tomohawk> and i just got "ERROR: install-mbr failed! Your system may not be bootable."
[02:19] <arthog> Tomohawk: Has it ever worked?
[02:19] <Scognito> hi
[02:20] <tomohawk> As dual-boot, no. I am figuring that if I cant get it working I'll unplug the IDE drive, and restore the windows MBR off the windows cd, then backup properly (yes, I'm bad and didn'tback up before installing)
[02:20] <Scognito> 'm being crazy... i don't get 3d acceleration with both matrox nor nvidia card
[02:20] <Scognito> all the work is done by cpu, not gpu
[02:20] <Scognito> glxgear gave me 99% cpu usage
[02:20] <wickedpuppy> Scognito: so when you do glxinfo | grep direct you get no ?
[02:20] <Scognito> it tell me it is enagled
[02:21] <Scognito> direct rendering: Yes
[02:21] <Scognito> i'll post my xorg.conf
[02:21] <wickedpuppy> eh not here pls
[02:22] <Scognito> http://www.pastebin.it/index.php?id=1682
[02:22] <manuparra> Scognito?
[02:22] <oskude> tomohawk, well, dualboot aint easy if you dont know about partitions and mbr (you know, windows can only boot from one device)
[02:22] <manuparra> you graphics card?
[02:22] <Scognito> manuparra?
[02:22] <Scognito> ah sorry
[02:22] <arthog> tomohawk: would be my solution too. I've never worked with SATA drives, though so maybe someone can help you better.
[02:22] <Scognito> i'm trying with nvidia with binary driver
[02:22] <Scognito> geforce 4 mx
[02:22] <oskude> tomohawk, eeh, ment PC can only boot from one devie
[02:22] <manuparra> nvidia, may be works better than aTI
[02:23] <manuparra> what is you info in: glxinfo ?
[02:23] <dmitri> hello. i have a package in dapper (ltmodem...) which the packet manager cannot install or remove. it hence prevents installation of any other packages. can you give me some advice please
[02:23] <arthog> Anybody know anything about changing default media player?
[02:23] <tomohawk> Thanks for the advice anyway
[02:24] <tomohawk> I just tried running sudo liloconfig again, and this time got no errors, but it looks like it has been using stuff from the previous run
[02:24] <ccooke> dmitri: there is no "ltmodem" package in dapper
[02:24] <Toge> hello
[02:24] <oskude> tomohawk, fyi: ubuntu uses grub as default...
[02:24] <dmitri> ccooke:ltmodem-2.6.8-1-686
[02:24] <dmitri> Half open sourced driver for Lucent(r) Linmodems
[02:25] <tomohawk> Yeah, grub wouldn't boot to XP
[02:25] <Scognito> manuparra, http://www.pastebin.it/index.php?id=1683
[02:25] <wickedpuppy> Scognito: is it me or you have two "Device" sections ?
[02:25] <Scognito> this is the info
[02:25] <oskude> tomohawk, works here :/
[02:25] <Scognito> wickedpuppy, yes, i'm also using tv out
[02:25] <manuparra> anybody know how to select some packages, not using default install?
[02:25] <tomohawk> oskude, is yours an IDE+SATA arrangement?
[02:25] <Scognito> but i had problem even without using it
[02:25] <ccooke> dmitri: the linux-restricted-modules packages provide ltmodem drivers already
[02:25] <oskude> tomohawk, no, just one hdd
[02:25] <ccooke> dmitri: there is no ltmodem package in dapper.
[02:25] <tomohawk> ah
[02:26] <manuparra> Scognito, its ok!
[02:26] <SonicChao> Hi, I need a GMail Notifier for Ubuntu...does anyone know of one?
[02:26] <tomohawk> I can boot to linux fine with grub, but if i choose the Windows XP option it goes straight to a flashing cursor and just hangs

[02:28] <ccooke> dmitri: if it fails, please put the output in a pastebin

[02:28] <Scognito> void^, because i get 99% cpu usage
[02:29] <void^> Scognito: this may come as a surprise, but applications like 3dmark on windows take 100% cpu time..
[02:29] <Scognito> 3dmark ok :)
[02:29] <Scognito> btw i get only 731 frames
[02:29] <Scognito> with glxgears

[02:52] <[GuS] > i want to upload tcl8.5/tk8.5 packages to KUbuntu repositories... where i could get the account in REVU ?
[02:52] <dmitri> ccooke: how do i 'select all' in vi?
[02:53] <gnomefreak> !revu
[02:53] <ubotu> REVU is a web-based tool to give people who have worked on Ubuntu packages a chance to "put their packages out there" for other people to look at and comment on in a structured manner. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/REVU
[02:53] <ccooke> dmitri: you can't, really
[02:53] <gnomefreak> [GuS] : ^^^^
[02:53] <orbin> gnomefreak: what are the engines then?  e.g. http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=41345
[02:53] <holzmodem> someone using an ati 9700m with the newest fglrx driver?
[02:53] <manuparra> Could i select packages using alternate install ubuntu?
[02:53] <orbin> gnomefreak: it links to a deb file
[02:53] <[GuS] > hi gnomefreak
[02:53] <[GuS] > thanks
[02:53] <ccooke> dmitri: if you use: 'sudo gedit /path/to/file', you'll be able to select it all easily
[02:53] <gnomefreak> yw
[02:53] <dmitri> ccooke: i would upload the file, but the pastebin asks for screenshots, jpegs, pngs only
[02:53] <dmitri> ccooke: ok..thanks
[02:53] <ccooke> dmitri: yeah, I thought it allowed small uploads
[02:53] <manuparra> Could i select packages using alternate install ubuntu?
[02:54] <manuparra> iso
[02:55] <gnomefreak> orbin: other than following the instructions you got me stumped on that
[02:57] <gnomefreak> manuparra: i dont think there is a such installer
[02:57] <gnomefreak> in ubuntu
[02:58] <gnomefreak> manuparra: oem is the closest you will get to picking your own packages and i dont think it allows you to
[02:59] <dmitri> ccooke: ok! here we go http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17417

[03:00] <definity> /etc/kismetcan some one tell me how to install kernal souces so i can get my wireless card working
[03:00] <funkmaster> go 2 the package and check its prpoerties
[03:00] <jam1> Hmm, will Ununtu recognize my Samsung AHT-N120 PCI ADSL modem or am I out-of-luck once again?
[03:00] <whitehorseNtiger> What do I do here?  remove them?
[03:00] <whitehorseNtiger> E: clvm: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 3
[03:00] <whitehorseNtiger> E: redhat-cluster-suite: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
[03:00] <whitehorseNtiger> E: system-config-cluster: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
[03:00] <gnomefreak> sime[] : packages.ubuntu.com or synaptic or apt-cache policy packagename
[03:00] <sime[] > funkmaster, its a driver in the kernel
[03:01] <funkmaster> sime: euw hmmm u should be able to check it out when u do the menuconfig, but i'm sure there is a smarter and faster way, but i don't know it
[03:01] <sime[] > bah, already found it, didn't look at /var/log/messages closely enough
[03:01] <funkmaster> hehe oki :D
[03:02] <definity> DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN GET KERNAL SOUCES?
[03:02] <definity> whoops
[03:02] <funkmaster> definity: checked in synaptic yet?
[03:02] <ccooke> dmitri: Right. Basically,  that package was designed for (I presume) an older version of Debian. Most of the things it assumes are there don't exist any more in the kernel.
[03:02] <ccooke> dmitri: it's failing because it doesn't know what to do.
[03:02] <ccooke> dmitri: however, since it doesn't do anything you need to care about... just remove that file.
[03:03] <gnomefreak> definity: open synaptic and search for linux-source or kernel-source
[03:03] <funkmaster> definity: u need the ones for ur kernel uname -r
[03:03] <ccooke> dmitri: sudo rm /path/to/file.postrm
[03:03] <POVaddct> definity: it's kernel (not kernal). get them at www.kernel.org or one of its mirrors
[03:03] <ccooke> dmitri: then, try 'sudo dpkg --purge ltmodem' again
[03:03] <Seboo> in your ass
[03:03] <jam1> Errrrrr, any chance that Ununtu 6.06 will recognize my Samsung AHT-N120 PCI ADSL modem?
[03:03] <gnomefreak> kernel-sources are rarely ever needed
[03:03] <dmitri> ccooke: ok..i give it a whirl..thanks..and the other ltmodem files also?
[03:03] <Seboo> none Jam1
[03:03] <ccooke> dmitri: other ltmodem files?
[03:03] <ccooke> dmitri: oh, don't touch those
[03:03] <dmitri> ccooke: ok..ta
[03:04] <ccooke> dmitri: once the postrm script is gone, they'll be removed automatically by dpkg when you uninstall it
[03:04] <skybox> i'm a bit tired so excuse my typing, but i'm about to install windows (dual boot) on my current linux setup, and i'm reading this guide, i'm suppose to create a new partition and when I run parted it says /dev/hda, how do I creat a new partition for linux?

[03:08] <vikash> .chm files
[03:08] <gnomefreak> skybox: <hint> install windows first<hint>
[03:08] <cntb> .chm are windows help files
[03:08] <orbin> Sha_ubuntu: places > computer > double-click on floppy drive? then right-click > unmount when finished?
[03:08] <jrib> vikash: xchm can read them

[03:09] <vikash> thanx buddy
[03:09] <jrib> vikash: yes, once you enable universe.  Do you know how?
[03:09] <ccooke> dmitri: First thing - let's be sure you have all the modules you need
[03:09] <vikash> ya
[03:09] <vikash> i already did
[03:09] <Rope> errpast-wc yes
[03:09] <ccooke> dmitri: what processor does your computer have?
[03:09] <cntb> intelmanx86: hosts.deny used by NFS unix native filesharing
[03:09] <jrib> vikash: k, should be waiting for you then :)
[03:09] <Jack_Sparrow> skybox: WIndows will install in the unpartitioned space but it is finnicky about wanting to be in the first partition.  HAve you backed up your existing install?
[03:09] <ccooke> dmitri: is it an AMD or Intel or something else chip?
[03:09] <intelmanx86> cntb, used by more that just nfs
[03:10] <definity> once i got the kernel sources what do i do with then to get my wireless card working any ideas?
[03:10] <ccooke> dmitri: (speed doesn't really matter, just the make)
[03:10] <softnet_> hi all
[03:10] <skybox> gnomefreak, what would be the point of doing that? I want to KEEP my exsisting system without OVERWriting anything
[03:10] <Sha_ubuntu> orbin, it doesnt show in place menu,, usb drive come up automatically ,, but not floppy
[03:10] <intelmanx86> cntb, do you know the correct usage(syntax) for it?
[03:10] <gnomefreak> skybox: it makes it alot easier in the end to boot both
[03:10] <dmitri> ccooke: Intel...device manager says unknown - but i think its intel
[03:10] <cntb> wait will get you a link
[03:10] <orbin> Sha_ubuntu: not in menu.  click on places > computer
[03:10] <skybox> gnomefreak ,yeah maybe, but I hate to set up my linux one more time :(
[03:10] <cntb> !nfs
[03:10] <ubotu> nfs is the network file system. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NFSClientHowTo and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NFSServerHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[03:11] <gnomefreak> skybox: installing ubuntu first xp will over-write the MBR and kill grub <end> only windows will boot
[03:11] <cntb> try this
[03:11] <skybox> Jack_Sparrow will windows install on my primary (only) partition 120GB, 50GB free teh rest is ubuntu!??!
[03:11] <ccooke> dmitri: right. they please install the "linux-686" package. That makes sure you have up-to-date kernel, restricted modules etc.
[03:11] <gnomefreak> !grub > skybox
[03:11] <Rope> how can i install ubuntu without running the live cd ??
[03:11] <intelmanx86> cntb, and? you know?

[03:11] <gnomefreak> skybox: read the pm for more info
[03:11] <vikash> can somebody remind me command to mount smbfs folder
[03:11] <jrib> Rope: use the alternate cd
[03:11] <Arbiter> Rope, download the -alternate cd
[03:11] <cntb> rope alternate CD is perfect and more flexible too
[03:11] <Arbiter> :D
[03:11] <vikash> to mount folder on other com
[03:11] <softnet_> i've got some kind of a circular-dependency error.How do i remove a package that is marked for installation?(i.e when i run apt-get install it tries to install it automatically)
[03:11] <vikash> so that i can watch movie after mounting them
[03:12] <cntb> vikash good idea
[03:12] <definity> once i got the kernel sources what do i do with then to get my wireless card working any ideas?
[03:12] <skybox> gnomefreak I have, and I wish to use linux as my current system without kililng it, that's why i'm reading this guide on how to use windows after linux   http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/manual/html_chapter/parted_2.html
[03:12] <Jack_Sparrow> skybox: You only have one partition? a single 120gig partition
[03:12] <Sha_ubuntu> in place I, my computer,, I see floppy,, error message unable to mount volume,, Error: given UDI is not a mountable volume
[03:12] <cntb> you mean using VLC
[03:12] <vikash> i did that in 5.10 but i forgot the commad
[03:12] <skybox> Sparrow, correct, well at least I assume that, when I type sudo parted, it only shows /dev/hdc
[03:12] <cntb> I will try that myself soon
[03:12] <vikash> it was comething like
[03:12] <intelmanx86> ??
[03:13] <cntb> VLC has client and server
[03:13] <Rope> Arbiter my problem is that the pc dont has enough ram to load the live cd.. can i install it from tex mode ?
[03:13] <gnomefreak> LoBoGoL: launchpad.net should let you put it in as a bug
[03:13] <orbin> Sha_ubuntu: is there a floppy inside the drive? :-/
[03:13] <dmitri> ccooke: ok...you should tell me how..i installed ubuntu and fully updated about 3 weeks ago...how do i check my version?
[03:13] <vikash> smbfs -? //computername/folder /location
[03:13] <Arbiter> Rope, yeah with the alternate cd
[03:13] <Arbiter> the -alternate cd ships the debian-installer
[03:13] <ccooke> dmitri: ah, right.
[03:13] <cntb> oh is that a samba server or win xp> vikash
[03:13] <Arbiter> which is in text-mode
[03:13] <Sha_ubuntu> orbin,  yess
[03:13] <vikash> winxp
[03:13] <Jack_Sparrow> skybox: what about your swap partition etc?
[03:13] <ccooke> dmitri: System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager
[03:14] <Rope> Arbiter thanks
[03:14] <LoBoGoL> gnomefreak: ok! thanks..
[03:14] <ccooke> dmitri: search for "linux-686"

[03:14] <Jack_Sparrow> skybox:  I see disaster looming trying to do all of this if you are that tired.
[03:14] <cntb> !automounter
[03:14] <ubotu> I know nothing about automounter
[03:14] <ccooke> dmitri: there's a guide to using it, too
[03:14] <skybox> Jack_Sparrow, yeah but I have no choice really, and I really wanna do it :)
[03:14] <Jack_Sparrow> !automatix
[03:14] <orbin> Sha_ubuntu: do you have a floppy entry in /etc/fstab?
[03:14] <ubotu> Automatix is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. For help with and discussion of automatix please join #automatix.
[03:14] <ccooke> dmitri: or if you're impatient, you can use the command line: 'sudo apt-get install linux-686'
[03:14] <Arbiter> Rope, if you have an x86 system here's the download link: http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/ubuntu-cdimage/6.06/ubuntu-6.06-alternate-i386.iso

[03:15] <cntb> vikash:  ?
[03:15] <vikash> ok
[03:15] <ccooke> dmitri: if it's just one processor, the -686

[03:17] <Sha_ubuntu> can I see this from a terninal,, dont seem to find it at the moment..
[03:17] <mrtwister> hi. installed dapper-server, but need also graphics, how to install standart ubuntu gnome desktop, xorg etc ?
[03:17] <intelmanx86> how would I use hosts.deny to deny access from a external network to port 139 but allow an internal network to access 139?
[03:17] <Deanodriver> i'm having a problem where whenever i press shift-backspace, X restarts?
[03:17] <Deanodriver> is there any way to switch that off? it's surprising how often i keep on hitting it
[03:17] <vikash> its not opening file directly in videolan
[03:17] <Jack_Sparrow> skybox: You Ubuntu install has 70 gigs of OS , programs and data.  For which you have no backup. And you need to modify partitions at a very low level? I know you WANT to do it. but there is a real danger of data loss or ending up with a usless Ubuntu.
[03:18] <intelmanx86> how would I use hosts.deny to deny access from a external network to port 139 but allow an internal network to access 139?
[03:18] <Sha_ubuntu> k found it,,
[03:18] <Rope> Jack_Sparrow could you pass me your mounting script?
[03:18] <dmitri> ccooke: should i restart now, or we do something else before?
[03:18] <Jack_Sparrow> sure
[03:18] <skybox> Jack_Sparrow yeah, but let's put it this way... if it fails, I have to format the entire hdd anyways, at least this way there MIGHT be a chance for me to keep my ilnux setup+boot with windows
[03:18] <Rope> Thanks

[03:29] <dmitri> ccooke: i can try again though
[03:29] <templtn> the box is running smoothly, mind you, i was just wondering why they werent upgraded by apt
[03:29] <PanicFo> i have a question.. is there no installation manual on the ubuntu.com website??
[03:29] <craigtmackenzie> 5.01 installs fine on parallels but as soon as upgraded to 6.06 from update manager, when in restarted it just said failed
[03:29] <ccooke> dmitri: ahhh!
[03:29] <ccooke> dmitri: wait a sec
[03:30] <ccooke> dmitri:according to your lspci, it seems to be an Intel one
[03:30] <Deanodriver> does anyone have any ideas?
[03:30] <Deanodriver> sorry, but it really annoys me with it resetting all the time
[03:30] <jmspeex> Does Dapper use rtlimits or something?
[03:30] <PanicFo> it seems very odd that a popular distro like ubuntu doesnt have a readily available installation manual somewhere
[03:31] <ccooke> dmitri: try 'sudo modprobe snd-intel8x0m'
[03:31] <KenSentMe> Deanodriver: here's how to turn off both shortcuts: http://linux.about.com/od/ubuntu_doc/a/ubudg10t19.htm
[03:31] <Jack_Sparrow> skybox: Start by closing down that window, and installing Gparted..
[03:31] <Deanodriver> thanks
[03:31] <jonah1980> hi, i've got amd64 ubuntu, is there any easy way to update certain packages that came with it - a lot are older than 32bit ubuntu, like scribus and treeline for example won't open files i made in ubuntu 32 on my old system!
[03:31] <Deanodriver> but i only need the one :)
[03:31] <craigtmackenzie> anyone installed on a mac via parallels
[03:31] <ccooke> dmitri: then see if the software detects a modem
[03:31] <KenSentMe> Deanodriver: then you can always use sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[03:31] <dmitri> ccooke: says it found new audio device!
[03:32] <Deanodriver> good point
[03:32] <Deanodriver> thanks a lot :)
[03:32] <ccooke> dmitri: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto#head-4be470bbae4b120bd5f6101c9aa218df7518b0c7
[03:32] <dmitri> ccooke: i remember i had this message last time, when i was going through the process - i guess its the mode's audio driver
[03:32] <T3hAubustou> hello, i've got a problem with a Compact Flash adapter on PCMCIA
[03:32] <Chetic> Totem sucks
[03:32] <ccooke> dmitri: try the URL I just gave you
[03:32] <KenSentMe> Deanodriver: no problem
[03:32] <definity> once i got the kernel sources how do i out the madwifi with it and compile it
[03:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Chetic: Nice way to enter the home of Ubuntu
[03:34] <craigtmackenzie> i'm trying to get an array of days (as strings) and associated AR results for that day, so far i have: http://pastie.caboo.se/3685
[03:34] <craigtmackenzie> oops wrong channel!
[03:34] <Deanodriver> thanks KenSentMe, i'll restart X and give it a shot
[03:34] <Chetic> Jack_Sparrow: Hey. I can't help it. It just doesn't play a single video file I have
[03:34] <Deanodriver> brb
[03:34] <jonah1980> Jack_Sparrow, surely if i've got a package installed there must be a way to force an update from the 32bit respository? can you advise me at all, you were a great help yesterday
[03:35] <Lobster> may the file is corupted
[03:35] <skybox> Jack_Sparrow I exectued it: sudo gparted and it said (it's still running) warning: unable to open /dev/hdc rad write - opened read only, error unable to open /dev/hdc unrecognised disk label
[03:35] <Jack_Sparrow> skybox: because you did NOT shut down that other window
[03:36] <jorenby> y iyot dha
[03:36] <skybox> okay, I'll do a kill on kconsole
[03:36] <dmitri> ccooke: ! looks like it works - amazing..thanks! i will test it properly later at home.
[03:36] <skybox> Jack_Sparrow same thing
[03:36] <jorenby> iyot ta buntagay
[03:37] <ccooke> dmitri: anything you used modprobe on, you should add to /etc/modules so it'll load on reboot
[03:37] <soccio> Hi
[03:37] <craigtmackenzie> anyone installed on a mac via parallels
[03:37] <soccio> Is there anybody who could help me with dmix and alsa?
[03:37] <dmitri> ccooke: you mean add that lines to modules?
[03:38] <Jack_Sparrow> skybox:  skybox I want you to go to system then administration and run Gnome Partition Editor not from a term or knosole
[03:38] <Deanodriver> hi KenSentMe, now it won't restart when I press Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, but it still does when I type in Shift-Backspace
[03:38] <ccooke> dmitri: just the names of modules
[03:38] <dmitri> ccooke: modprobe snd-intel8x0m
[03:39] <jonah1980> dudes? can anyone help me out?
[03:39] <Jack_Sparrow> skybox:  if you do NOT see it there, ... Add/Install it
[03:39] <skybox> Jack_Sparrow done, but i'm not sure if there was a warning or not, okay gparted is up and running
[03:39] <Jack_Sparrow> skyb what do you see for partitions
[03:39] <ccooke> dmitri: just the module name - you don't need the 'modprobe' bit
[03:40] <skybox> partition /dev/hda1 ext3 size 115GB used 64GB unused 51 flags boot,   dev/hda2 extended size 1.467mb,   /dev/hda5 linux-swap size 1.467mb
[03:40] <robertj> what do I need to do to get automake to look for m4 macros in  vi /usr/share/aclocal-1.9
[03:40] <skybox> Jack_Sparrowpartition /dev/hda1 ext3 size 115GB used 64GB unused 51 flags boot,   dev/hda2 extended size 1.467mb,   /dev/hda5 linux-swap size 1.467mb
[03:40] <dmitri> ccooke: ok. one more thing - can u recommend a good GUI for gpg? I am using GNOMEPGP - but it does not encrypt files
[03:41] <ccooke> dmitri: sorry, I only use command-line tools
[03:41] <Jack_Sparrow> skybox:  you may need to restart X if there was a warning.  You still have something open/running
[03:41] <dmitri> ccooke@ ok! btw - thanks a million for helping out - its great how you guys are at it - and for free!
[03:41] <ccooke> dmitri: try doing a search on 'gpg' in Synaptic (the package manager)
[03:41] <ccooke> dmitri: No worries.
[03:41] <skybox> according to process i'm cool, okay what's next jack_sparrow?
[03:42] <Deanodriver> don't worry, I got it working, thanks
[03:42] <Deanodriver> common XGL bug, apparently
[03:42] <Jack_Sparrow> skybox: You need to shrink your ext3
[03:43] <skybox> Jack_Sparrow, okay, let me guess if I shrink it over my free space, It will kill data? I currently have 51GB free, should I shrink my ext3 to 115 - 50 GB?
[03:43] <Staffan1> hallo
[03:43] <Jack_Sparrow> skybox: I would NOT cut it that close just go 40
[03:44] <Jack_Sparrow> skybox: you can fine tune later..  again, this is ill advised without a backup, please do not hold me responsible for the loss of your Ub install.
[03:45] <craigtmackenzie> anyone installed on a mac via parallels???
[03:45] <skybox> Jack_Sparrow no of course not
[03:45] <skybox> I will accept the outcome no matter what, you're not the one to blame
[03:46] <Jack_Sparrow> You will probably end up needing to run that from the livecd
[03:46] <skybox> Jack_sparrow, hmm, the resize/move butto is greyed, unclickable?
[03:47] <Jack_Sparrow> You cant unmount your Ubuntu partition
[03:47] <skybox> so, boot with live cd, console - gparted?
[03:47] <HBuzacott> Jack_Sparrow, unmount / ?
[03:47] <HBuzacott> Jack_Sparrow, if yes, then, no
[03:47] <skybox> also, how will gparted know what sectors/place of my hdd to free up space?
[03:48] <HBuzacott> Jack_Sparrow, that made no sense. You cannot unmount /
[03:48] <Jack_Sparrow> WHich is why he will boot to the livecd
[03:49] <HBuzacott> Jack_Sparrow, sorry I misread 'You cant unmount your Ubuntu partition' as 'Can you ...?
[03:49] <ghost_> Hi could  someone take a look at this please? some problem with building gems... dunno what im missing here have gcc and make etc..     http://rafb.net/paste/results/Ox5zAD76.html
[03:49] <Jack_Sparrow> HBuzacott: If you are running Gnome Partiton Editor and right click on a partition you have an option of UNMOUNT
[03:49] <bigjoe> ok I'm back
[03:50] <AgBullet> Hi everyone
[03:50] <aurelyano_18> how do i change the resolution from terminal ??????
[03:50] <bigjoe> anybody with similar problems about fan control ?
[03:50] <HBuzacott> Jack_Sparrow, but it is impossible. You CANNOT unmount the root. With a livecd the root is on the cd
[03:50] <HBuzacott> Jack_Sparrow, it is impossible to umount root
[03:50] <idefix> when is it going to be possible to select a whole row of checkboxes on a webpage simply by dragging a rectangle over it?
[03:51] <orbin> ghost_: why not just get it from apt?
[03:51] <AgBullet> I need some help about firefox...
[03:51] <Jack_Sparrow> HBuzacott: Please feel free to help skybox
[03:51] <whyami> will ubuntu to "talk to" and synchronize with Windows CE devices?
[03:51] <AgBullet> anyone???
[03:51] <HBuzacott> skybox, open the console/terminal
[03:51] <ghost_> umm well i'm working from home today... have almost identical setup on my dev machine here as at work and was just following the same steps that worked there...
[03:52] <orbin> ghost_: sorry.  my mistake.  might be on the wrong thing
[03:52] <HBuzacott> skybox, You want to unmount your / partition?
[03:52] <wsjunior> i have a ext3 data partition i would like to have it showed at the desktop. what do i have to do?
[03:52] <ghost_> wrong thing?
[03:52] <AgBullet> I can't open links from other programs
[03:52] <Jack_Sparrow> HBuzacott: he wants to shrink his ext3 Ubuntu partition
[03:52] <tjb891> ok, im trying o ifx sound in flashplayer, the wiki told me to put in sudo nano /etc/firefox/firefoxrc then to change  a line, after I cahnge the line though I don't know how to save it?
[03:53] <orbin> ghost_: i thought you wanted this:
[03:53] <orbin> !info gems
[03:53] <ubotu> gems: Shows a console session in several terminals. In repository universe, is optional. Version 1.1-3 (dapper), package size 25 kB, installed size 144 kB
[03:53] <HBuzacott> Jack_Sparrow, ahh. Quite a pickle
[03:53] <Jack_Sparrow> HBuzacott:  waiting for you to tell him
[03:53] <ghost_> no sorry i should have included the first three lines in the paste
[03:53] <wsjunior> i have a ext3 data partition i would like to have it showed at the desktop. what do i have to do?
[03:53] <Led_Zeppelin> Trying to set up vncserver, how do I set the default desktop for vnc in ubuntu? I want to use gnome, btw
[03:53] <orbin> ghost_: anyway, if i read it right, you're missing extconf.rb?
[03:53] <ghost_> im installing the ruby gem ferret which is a ruby port of lucene....
[03:53] <tjb891> do I use the text editor instead of the console?
[03:54] <aurelyano_18> how do i change the resolution from terminal ????????????
[03:54] <aurelyano_18> how do i change the resolution from terminal ????????????
[03:54] <orbin> tjb891: ctrl+x
[03:54] <orbin> tjb891: then press y iirc
[03:54] <ghost_> hmmm okay
[03:54] <tjb891> ok, thankyou
[03:54] <orbin> tjb891: but yes, you can use any editor you wish
[03:54] <tjb891> that would be easier thx
[03:54] <ghost_> not really sure what to do about that but its something to be getting on with... thanks
[03:54] <orbin> tjb891: e.g. gksudo 'gedit <file?'
[03:55] <orbin> whoops
[03:55] <orbin> gksudo 'gedit <file>'
[03:55] <HBuzacott> skybox, it is possible to resize your root but it is difficult. I am looking around for a nice tool for yo to use. gparted might be able to do it.
[03:55] <molnar> hi
[03:55] <HBuzacott> skybox, when I say difficult I mean excedingly difficult
[03:56] <orbin> aurelyano_18: change your modelines or reconfigure the xorg package then restart X?
[03:56] <skybox> Jack_Sparrow/HBuzacott, when I boot with my live cd, I should just type gparted at the prompt or ? since there's no gui, what's the command to shrink the partition and the correct file size for 40GB in terms of numbers, how will gparted know WHAT sectors to resize and not the entire partition meaning a loss of data? HBuzacott I see, well i'm not gonna give up just yet!
[03:56] <Led_Zeppelin> W: GPG error: http://mirror3.ubuntulinux.nl dapper-seveas Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 49A120FD1135D466
[03:56] <Led_Zeppelin> W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
[03:56] <Led_Zeppelin> how do I fix that?
[03:56] <Jack_Sparrow> HBuzacott: Running Gparted from the live cd or from the ultimate boot cd should work fine
[03:56] <Led_Zeppelin> i ran, apt-get update still does not fix it
[03:56] <gnomefreak> Led_Zeppelin: you need to get seveas key than
[03:56] <gnomefreak> !seveas
[03:56] <ubotu> Seveas has a semi-popular 3rd party repository for several packages. More info (and mirrors) on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[03:57] <aurelyano_18> how do i reconfigure xorg????
[03:57] <gnomefreak> Led_Zeppelin: go to the above site and follow the ho to get his key ^^
[03:57] <Jack_Sparrow> skybox:  Live cd should put you into Ubuntu GUI
[03:57] <HBuzacott> skybox, boot to GNOME, then open gparted (System > Admin > Disks)
[03:57] <skybox> ah
[03:57] <gnomefreak> aurelyano_18: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:57] <skybox> I'll start xchat from there and continue, thanks guy, rebooting now
[03:58] <skybox> thanks guys*
[03:58] <orbin> aurelyano_18: backup your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file first
[03:58] <Led_Zeppelin> gnomefreak: thanks, just took out that site from sources.list. don't think I need anything from there
[03:59] <tjb891> can anyone tell me how to us ethe text editor as root?
[03:59] <tjb891> *the
[03:59] <Jack_Sparrow> HBuzacott: Once heshrinks that he needs to create a 40 gig ntfs, then he needs to edit his old Ubuntu to look for itself on a different partition then he has to goinstall windows then he needs to repir grub bootloader
[03:59] <erUSUL> Led_Zeppelin: w32codecs...
[03:59] <Led_Zeppelin> erUSUL: hey you :-p
[03:59] <orbin> tjb891: gedit?  gksudo 'gedit <file>'
[03:59] <Led_Zeppelin> erUSUL: win32codecs ?
[04:00] <tjb891> ok thks
[04:00] <Jack_Sparrow> tjb891: sudo
[04:00] <orbin> tjb891: sudo if it's a console-mode editor
[04:00] <aurelyano_18> how do i restart xserver?
[04:00] <tjb891> ok
[04:00] <orbin> aurelyano_18: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[04:00] <Jack_Sparrow> ctrl-backspace
[04:00] <Jack_Sparrow> I think
[04:01] <orbin> ctrl+alt+bckspc  ... not guaranteed to bring you back in though iirc
[04:02] <Led_Zeppelin> how do you configure default desktop in vnc
[04:02] <Led_Zeppelin> anyone know?
[04:02] <erUSUL> Led_Zeppelin: is package you will need from seveas repo (to see wmv)
[04:02] <Led_Zeppelin> erUSUL: well, I can get them manually from mplayer right?
[04:02] <Jack_Sparrow> HBuzacot he may also need to move his etx3 up so ntfs is the first partition
[04:03] <jonah1980> http://pastebin.ca/81441 - can anyone help me get round this?
[04:04] <luis> alguem usa ubuntu dapper 64 bits??
[04:05] <wildman> jonah1980: X devel pkgs missing?
[04:06] <orbin> jonah1980: what are you doing?
[04:06] <skybox> Jack_Sparrow/HBuzacott, what should do again? I'm in ubuntu now (live)
[04:06] <wildman> orbin: I guess he's trying to compile an X app...
[04:06] <jonah1980> i'm trying to install a newer version of tellico on my 64bit dapper
[04:06] <jonah1980> did the configure step and got that error
[04:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Can you get to gparted
[04:06] <LjL> jonah1980: my guess: "sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg-dev"
[04:06] <HBuzacott> skybox, System >admin > disks
[04:06] <skybox> I'm there
[04:07] <RShadow> can somebody explain to me the apache setup in Ubuntu? I wanted 2.2 but there is no simple way to tell apt-get that I already have apache installed.. so I have went with 2.0 in the repos
[04:07] <idefix> when is it going to be possible to select a whole row of checkboxes on a webpage simply by dragging over them?
[04:07] <RShadow> the problem is now I don't know understand the layout.. what is with the sites-enabled sites-available stuff?
[04:07] <jonah1980> ok done that, trying it again
[04:07] <skybox> Jack_Sparrow/HBuzacott, I can my hdd and information, shouldn't there be some sort of option for shrinking?
[04:07] <Ng> idefix: at least not until someone asks for it I would imagine, but that's an issue for firefox
[04:07] <Jack_Sparrow> What all needs to be changed when he adds a partition below his Ubuntu install in order for it to work, just his /boot/grub/menu.lst  ?
[04:08] <jonah1980> checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!
[04:08] <gabrielhora> .
[04:08] <jonah1980> still get same message
[04:08] <idefix> Ng surely it happens often enough
[04:08] <Ng> RShadow: the idea is that the relevant configs for each site/virtualhost go in a file in /etc/sites-available/ and the ones that are symlinked to /etc/sites-enabled/ are loaded when apache starts
[04:08] <dmitr1> ccooke: hey there...sorry, upon booting up - truecrypt is not working - even though i rebuilt it as per http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=199367&highlight=truecrypt - it says "Failed to load TrueCrypt kernel module"
[04:08] <HBuzacott> skybox, sorry, you have to go into the terminal and type sudo gparted
[04:09] <Ng> idefix: I use tab&space when the situation arises. Either way, either file a wishlist bug in ubuntu or firefox's bug reporting system
[04:09] <HBuzacott> skybox, you may need to do a sudo apt-get install gparted
[04:09] <LjL> jonah1980: you could use auto-apt to see what exactly it is trying to find
[04:09] <RShadow> Ng, thats was I assumed, but upon a default install instead of getting the page I get a directory index with a folder for the "default" site.
[04:09] <skybox> HBuzactott, evrytime I do that, I get an error
[04:09] <HBuzacott> saying?
[04:09] <skybox> Unable to open /dev/hdc read-write (Read-only file system).  /dev/hdc has been opened read-only.
[04:09] <skybox> Error: Unable to open /dev/hdc - unrecognised disk label.
[04:10] <LjL> jonah1980: "sudo aptitude install auto-apt", then "sudo auto-apt update", and then in the program's directory, "auto-apt run ./configure"
[04:10] <ALDI> Is it possible to see the cpu load of the processes at the dash in ubuntu? Like the taskmanager in windows?
[04:10] <Tarantulafudge> how come tremulous isn't in the ubuntu repository
[04:10] <Ng> ALDI: "the dash"?
[04:10] <dmitr1> i guess ccooke is not online anymore - can someone else help me please
[04:10] <orbin> ALDI: add the system mon. applet?
[04:10] <LjL> jonah1980: but *don't* just blindly answer "yes" to every package it proposes to install, because that way you'll pollute your system with useless packages.
[04:10] <ALDI> Ng: the console
[04:10] <Ng> RShadow: strange. you don't have to use them if you don't want to, you can just edit the /etc/apache2/conf/ files directly
[04:10] <idefix> Ng hey cool solution tabtabspace thx
[04:10] <Ng> ALDI: top
[04:10] <LjL> jonah1980: just ignore all the packages it asks you to install, until you can pinpoint the one it's actually missing
[04:10] <skybox> HBuzactott, gparted is still running, but there 2 -3 errors in the console
[04:10] <ALDI> Ng: How do i do that?
[04:11] <HBuzacott> skybox, is the window up?
[04:11] <skybox> yes
[04:11] <Wilburt> anyone know how to get flux box up and running?
[04:11] <Ng> ALDI: if you're in a console, just run "top". if you're logged in to the desktop you can do System->Administration->System Monitor
[04:11] <Ng> ALDI: also there's a System Monitor panel applet
[04:11] <thenuke> Wilburt: apt-get install fluxbox ?
[04:11] <HBuzacott> skybox, can you edit the partition size?
[04:11] <skybox> yup
[04:11] <Wilburt> thenuke: i did that, sorta new to it, only installed ubuntu last night
[04:11] <RShadow> Ng, thats my plan.. sudo rm -rf /etc/apache2 and do my own the way the apache folks (and nearly everybody else) wants it done...
[04:11] <ALDI> Ng: thanx, top is what I was looking for!
[04:11] <orbin> Tarantulafudge: they didn't submit in time?
[04:12] <jonah1980> LjL, how will i know which one to answer yes to?
[04:12] <skybox> Resize /dev/hda1 , and I see a new window for a new sieze
[04:12] <Ng> RShadow: Ubuntu's config layout is inherited from Debian. It does actually make sense and is way more granular than the default plan of chucking everything in one huge file
[04:12] <RShadow> btw: is there a timeline for 2.2 in the repos? it is after all the suggested version from apache
[04:12] <RShadow> Ng, actualy the 2.2 layout is very logical..
[04:12] <skybox> HBuzactott, but what about the errors? also how will gparted KNOW what sectors to resize? how do I know it won't resize my system? will it only resize with the remainig free space?
[04:12] <Ng> RShadow: it'll probably be in Edgy, but it depends how quickly it's moving into debian
[04:12] <Foobal> Ng: ... and sucks majorly if you compare with Elektra :)
[04:13] <Jack_Sparrow> skybox: have faith on that point
[04:13] <LjL> jonah1980: just answer no to everything. when, eventually, the configure fails with that X error, take note of the *last* package that it proposed you to install. then tell me which package it was, and we'll see if it looks like the right one
[04:13] <thenuke> Wilburt: does it not then ask if you want to use gnome or fluxbox?
