[02:54] <zipzo> is there a better place to ask about printers? my printer worked great in windows and in ubuntu,, trash
[02:54] <morphish> Jimbo: then i guess you didnt do it 'sudo modprobe vfat' <-- that would load a vfat module, but since you don't know what i mean, likely you didn't do that, so all is good
[02:54] <Chris_> who isnt
[02:54] <Chris_> ?
[02:54] <morphish> Jimbo: only way to find out if it's all good is checking after the next booting
[02:54] <Jimbo> ok..will reboot
[02:54] <seamus7> Hello ... anyone on Edgy setting their desktop panel to some degree of transparency? If yes, do all of your panel applets' background take the panel transparency correctly? I'm trying to figure out if my problem is local or widespread.

[02:55] <Jimbo> morph thanx a lot for your time...and thanx to anyone else that has helped
[02:55] <chotchki> Kingsqueak: i ran a diff over the apache vs the cli php.ini and the only difference is the max memory... could that stop the loading of modules?
[02:55] <Jimbo> crossin fingers and rebooting
[02:55] <Chris_> hey, im running ubuntu right now, but the last time i made an iso cd, i used windows, what can i use to write cds in ubuntu?
[02:55] <zipzo> so ya...printer problems
[02:55] <morphish> zipzo: have you used it in linux before (ok)? and now in ubuntu it is crap? or is this your first time using linux?
[02:55] <chotchki> Chris_: cdrecord or k3b
[02:55] <Jimbo> i need to take a break reguardless of results...im toasted

[02:56] <tuckerm> Anyone know how to unistall another version of linux via sudo?
[02:56] <Chris_> really easy i see
[02:56] <Chris_> thanks
[02:56] <lastnode> tuckerm, you mean a kernel?
[02:56] <bimberi> Chris_: np :)
[02:56] <chotchki> Chris_: just depends what you're used to ;)
[02:56] <win2lin>  Greetings.  I can't get Gnomebaker to format a DVD nor copy a DVD.  The drive list is empty for the drive with the blank media.
[02:56] <morphish> tuckerm: another distro? just format that partition, making sure your ubuntu kernel is not amongst the partitions you format
[02:57] <zipzo> morphis: i have never tried printing in another version of linux
[02:57] <zipzo> why? do some printers just suck in ubuntu or something?
[02:57] <aranjedeath> yeah
[02:57] <aranjedeath> hl1450 does
[02:57] <tuckerm> how would i do that without a 98 disk? (friend in trouble lol)
[02:57] <zipzo> i have a canon s820
[02:57] <fusionxn1> Anyone used / using NTFS-3G
[02:58] <morphish> zipzo: http://www.linuxprinting.org/  should help you then
[02:58] <bimberi> zipzo: yes, some manufacturers don't support Linux very well at all.  Canon is one of those
[02:58] <digitalhav0c> sheik, Acer Aspire 5044WLMi
[02:58] <digitalhav0c> ?
[02:58] <aranjedeath> My brother hl1450 dont print very well. it doesnt support PS printing
[02:58] <at0m> any multitasking window speed improvements with KDE over Gnome?
[02:58] <digitalhav0c> i love gnome
[02:58] <[Relic] > gparted gives me a try booting with irqpoll any ideas?

[02:58] <sheik> digitalhav0c: Acer Aspire S100
[02:59] <seamus7> Anyone... can I do an Edgy reinstall via the Terminal or Synaptic or Web without having to burn any media?
[02:59] <morphish> zipzo: in ubuntu i actually got lucky and my HP officeJet prints and scans just as  bad as it does in windows now (refering to the scan results of photos), scanning didn't work in other distros as easily
[02:59] <saif> woohoo! finally got beryl+xgl on my ati 200m with fglrx 8.24 with dapper! :)
[02:59] <tuckerm> how would i format the partion without a 98 disk? (friend in trouble lol)
[02:59] <morphish> zipzo: saying if anything printing should be easiest here
[02:59] <bruenig> seamus7, a reinstall? as in you installed it and want to start fresh? If that is the case then no.
[02:59] <saif> any news on amd opening up the ati drivers?
[02:59] <morphish> saif: interesting, as i have that chipset in my lapto
[02:59] <[DFC] Eggman> tuckerm: a live cd might work for you
[02:59] <at0m> yeah live cd
[02:59] <saif> morphish, very annoying isn't it?
[02:59] <at0m> or a bootable win98 cd
[03:00] <morphish> saif: just that i have edgy and not yet bothered with the fglrx drivers, which are now up to 8.30.something
[03:00] <seamus7> bruenig: that's right.. I upgraded to Edgy but now want to do a fresh Edgy installation. I have Dapper LiveCD's.
[03:00] <Jimbo> morphish: It worked! Drive is still there. I think Ill eat dinner and worry bout the networking later or tommorrow
[03:00] <Jimbo> thanx again all
[03:00] <saif> morphish, the fglrx drivers dont work! :)
[03:00] <morphish> Jimbo: tip though
[03:00] <Jimbo> ?
[03:00] <saif> morphish, only 8.24 works
[03:00] <morphish> Jimbo: think linux, not distro
[03:00] <[Relic] > are your hplip? librarys so badly outdated as the repository ones were when I was looking for a decent driver??  :)
[03:00] <saif> morphish, for the ati 200m that is!
[03:00] <Jimbo> k
[03:00] <at0m> u can make win98 floppy boot disks as a cd boot
[03:00] <bruenig> seamus7, get the edgy cd is the only way to start fresh. You may reinstall dapper and then upgrade immediately but it would all just be so much easier burning edgy.
[03:00] <at0m> with nero
[03:00] <jamie427> can anyone help me i am new to linux and unbuntu
[03:00] <Jimbo> all loinux pretty much the same huhn
[03:00] <morphish> Jimbo: learn how it works in linux, and you can self yourself when the fancy gui tools fail you
[03:01] <seamus7> bruenig: ok thx
[03:01] <bruenig> !anyone | jamie427
[03:01] <ubotu> jamie427: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[03:01] <morphish> saif: i ran 8.28.8 last on my 200m (amd64 laptop)
[03:01] <Jimbo> yea..i got a helluva lot to learn re this os
[03:01] <jamie427> my sound worked on a previous install but now it doesnt
[03:01] <digitalhav0c> sheik, battery on laptop dying but search for madwifi drivers
[03:01] <Jimbo> nothin but windoz since 1998
[03:01] <morphish> Jimbo: google helps too if this channel is too busy
[03:01] <saif> morphish, and u got 3d rendering?
[03:01] <Jimbo> yea
[03:01] <morphish> saif: aye
[03:01] <Zaehlas> Hello all, I am working on building a new server (migrating from Microsloth), anyway, I want the server installation with a graphical interface, I am NOT a linux guru.   :S )
[03:02] <ftp4you> question: if ubunto on one computer
[03:02] <lastnode> fusionxn1, what osrta hardware?
[03:02] <ftp4you> woops
[03:02] <[DFC] Eggman> fusionxn1: what hardwhere?
[03:03] <[Relic] > anything other than gparted that will adjust partitions?
[03:03] <pianoboy3333> How do I delete entries in gconf-editor?
[03:03] <Zaehlas> woot!  that's what I need, then!
[03:03] <Zaehlas> Thank you, Bruenig
[03:03] <zunshine> at0m, I'm gonna give this a shot now. Thank you, I hope it worked. I'll come back and let you know. : )
[03:03] <morphish> saif: i used the ati installer in sourcemage last, but there amd64 is not so nice 32bit/64bit wise (Although i have made a spell for 32bit libs for it) so i had to move some stuff around, the installer puts libGL.so.2 and friends in /usr/X11R6 dirs when the lib and the drivers should be in the right /usr/lib/xorg dirs
[03:03] <bimberi> pianoboy3333: cfdisk (text based)
[03:03] <fusionxn1> X-FI, Logitech USB mic, zboard fang, not sure about g15 and NTFX
[03:03] <[DFC] Eggman> [Relic] : theres partition magic if you have windoes installed
[03:03] <fusionxn1> NTFS*
[03:03] <pianoboy3333> bimberi: wtf...?
[03:03] <ftp4you> if ubuntu has internet access on 1 computer and have installed many apps how could i burn packages to cd so i can install them on ubuntu which does not have access
[03:03] <ftp4you> is there a way
[03:04] <[Relic] > [DFC] Eggman, I don't have windows  :)
[03:04] <caveMan_> is it possible to restart X without closing all the programs I have running?
[03:04] <bimberi> pianoboy3333: sorry, that was for [Relic]
[03:04] <morphish> saif: in other words i went around the package manager of a distro and i got it working, just moved 32bit libs in its own place, left 64bit where ldd looked for them , added the location for the 32bit libs to ld.so.conf and voila got it all happy, but i might be better in doing it rather than explaining it
[03:04] <Chris_> hmm, caveman
[03:04] <bruenig> ftp4you, sudo apt-get -d install packages After you do that the package will be in /var/cache/apt/archives
[03:05] <[Relic] > going to switch the drive cables around and try gparted once more and if that don't work I will just have to hope my DVD backups are ok
[03:05] <fusionxn1> [DFC] Eggman & lastnode any ideas? I got a thread on it
[03:05] <bruenig> ftp4you, note that doing that will just download packages not install them
[03:05] <[Relic] > back later  :)  maybe  :)
[03:05] <morphish> caveMan_: you will depend on your DE restarting them as a session, which only works if you properly log out, restart, log in
[03:05] <lastnode> fusionxn1, if your graphics card adn net access work, you should install and then troubleshoot the rest.
[03:05] <lastnode> (at least that's my take on it)
[03:05] <ftp4you> aren't the files already on computer
[03:05] <fusionxn1> lastnode - yes ot netowkr and 7900gt yes
[03:05] <bimberi> pianoboy3333: right-click, Unset Key...   ??
[03:05] <morphish> xorg had a summer of code project for google that was going to be Xscreen for such times, but i don't know what happened with that :/ would be nice to have an xscreen
[03:05] <caveMan_> morphish, so they have to be restarted, I can't for example keep my irc connection
[03:06] <fusionxn1> lastnode - no point in then finding out that some hardware will neverwork
[03:06] <saif> morphish, i've talked to a lot of ppl who were suffering from this driver and this particular chipset, even the ati fglrx howto says it's not supported, y don't u write a howto or somethn, coz it seems a bit out my league to figure out, and i am sure a lot of ppl would appreciate it!
[03:06] <[DFC] Eggman> fusionxn1: well i have a logictec mouse (mx 518) and it worked
[03:06] <bruenig> ftp4you, if you installed them through the repos, the packages will be in that same directory
[03:06] <ftp4you> that command will just download them all in that dir like freebsd ports kind of
[03:06] <morphish> caveMan_: not if they are X apps, if you run irssi in a screen in a terminal it stays up, but all X apps die when the server dies
[03:06] <fusionxn1> DFC - My logitech USB Mic is found but cant get to work with skype etc
[03:06] <lastnode> fusionxn1, never say never ;-) people are writing drivers for new hardware everyday
[03:06] <ftp4you> i did it threw add remove programs
[03:07] <fusionxn1> lastnode - i found some G15 drivers :)
[03:07] <jessid> Hello. I have a Zire 72 and I havent beeen able to make it "visible" to ubuntu...some one can help me? Im tired of Windows....
[03:07] <lastnode> fusionxn1, for example, my native broadcom wireless didnt function under dapper, but under edgy it does :-)
[03:07] <morphish> saif: hm, now i am curious about installing it, and i have no idea why you say it is not supported, we are both talking about the Xpress 200m, right? last time i looked it said it is supported
[03:07] <Chris_> how do you restart X? i tried going alt+ctrl+ F1 and then sudo startx
[03:07] <[DFC] Eggman> fusionxn1: oh man mic, im out of it.
[03:07] <Chris_> it wouldnt work?
[03:07] <fusionxn1> lastnode - http://g15tools.sourceforge.net/
[03:07] <lastnode> jessid, have you tried googling?
[03:07] <fusionxn1> is that a driver
[03:07] <ftp4you> whats the dir of repo
[03:07] <Chris_> it said X already running
[03:07] <morphish> Chris_: /etc/init.d/?dm restart
[03:07] <fusionxn1> DFC - Why? lol
[03:07] <saif> morphish, hold on, i'll post the howto that i use
[03:07] <Chris_> ok thx
[03:08] <morphish> Chris_: or zap it with ctrl-alt-backspace
[03:08] <jessid> lastnode I have tried jpilot, jejeje
[03:08] <[DFC] Eggman> fusionxn1: i recoment install and then just mess around and keep windowsfor games
[03:08] <Chris_> ok
[03:08] <Chris_> thx
[03:08] <morphish> saif: eff the howto if it says something that is not matching the release notes ;)
[03:08] <[DFC] Eggman> fusionxn1: i read it as mouse mic and mouse are not even close
[03:08] <lastnode> jessid, i neither own a palm, or have ever used on extensively :\ sorry, your best bet is to keep asking in here
[03:08] <fusionxn1> DFC - I decided gaes anit no option with quad core and 8800 taking the pee in price
[03:08] <lastnode> i know wehave a few palm users
[03:08] <fusionxn1> games*
[03:09] <jessid> lastnode thanks
[03:09] <caveMan_> newbie question, when I suspend the program with ctrl+z how can I have it run in the backgroudn?
[03:09] <jessid> Some of you have ever made a PalmPilot "speak" with ubuntu??? Can some of you help me? /dev/pilot is not a device in my PC....
[03:09] <fusionxn1> is there a way to stop HDDs been turned off on restart / shutdown?
[03:10] <Telroth_Plushie|> caveMan_,
[03:10] <Telroth_Plushie|> not sure how to move it
[03:10] <[DFC] Eggman> maybe i should boot into ubuntu...
[03:10] <goofey_> caveMan_: type bg
[03:10] <fusionxn1> when ever i restart or something each on has to start up again
[03:10] <Poromenos> is there a package similar to mod_bandwidth for apache?
[03:10] <goofey_> caveMan_: fg will bring it to the foreground
[03:10] <Telroth_Plushie|> fusionxn1, you mean mount each one?
[03:10] <Chris_> thanks morph, that worked
[03:10] <bruenig> !info libapache2-mod-cband
[03:10] <ubotu> libapache2-mod-cband: An Apache 2 module for bandwidth limiting the webserver. In component universe, is optional. Version <IP_ADDRESS>-1 (edgy), package size 39 kB, installed size 184 kB
[03:10] <caveMan_> goofey_, and then I can safetly close that console and GUI program will continue running?
[03:10] <saif> morphish, i have suffered with this card since 8.18 with different workarounds, the relase notes on the ati website always said that it is supported, when it actually isn't,
[03:11] <Poromenos> mmm, thanks bruenig
[03:11] <fusionxn1> Telroth_Plushie| - everytime i restart each harddrive starts up again.. when in post screen.
[03:11] <goofey_> caveMan_: most cases, yes
[03:12] <fusionxn1> Telroth_Plushie| - hard to say when my bios/post detects my harddrives - when im running ubuntu it seems to start each on up again
[03:13] <Poromenos> bruenig: do you have experience with this module?
[03:13] <Telroth_Plushie|> fusionxn1, i can't help you, my HDDs spin down and back up to, but it's not a problem for me
[03:13] <fusionxn1> Telroth_Plushie| i got 3 hdds adds about 10secs onto boot time
[03:13] <bruenig> Poromenos, none whatsoever, I really have no idea what it does.  Can some of you help me to make Ubuntu speak with a palmPilot?  Thanks! I am tired of windows...I miss my Ubuntu, ;-)
[03:14] <edoardo> byebye everyone! : )
[03:15] <ftp4you> if i burn all the .deb files under /var/cache/apt/archives i then can copy them to same dir on other unbuntu system and used add remove programs and it won't need interent
[03:15] <mike-e> when is someone going to set up reliable repositories for packages like w32codecs?
[03:15] <morphish> saif: and i have had many release since 8.16.20 running, last one i ran was 8.28.8, but brb
[03:16] <miracel> hi, was trying to make my usb-stick bootable, but only received "./unix/syslinux: possibly unsafe /tmp permissions". do you have any ideas how to get around this?
[03:16] <bimberi> ftp4you: it will use those files rather than downloading them again yes
[03:16] <ftp4you> thanks
[03:16] <fusionxn1> i got 3 things wont work under linux, so i guess im best sticking with windows :( ??
[03:16] <Telroth_Plushie|> mike-e, ubuntu already has in their main repos
[03:16] <saif> morphish, :S what is ur computer? mine is a hp pavilion 5094 with amd64 ml-37! i guess u have some kind of lucky combination!
[03:16] <saif> (or u know what ur doing! hehe
[03:16] <bruenig> ftp4you, make sure you get them all, you may need some of the dependencies in there that may look unimportant
[03:17] <mike-e> so cipherfunk is no longer needed?
[03:17] <ftp4you> are there codecs for ubuntu like xvid/flac/rmvb/divx/etc..
[03:17] <[DFC] Eggman> fusionxn1: but would you need them in linux?
[03:17] <ftp4you> ok thanks
[03:17] <fusionxn1> [DFC] Eggman - X-FI :(, Zboard fang wouldlike but not really and 3rd is NTFS so i need this last 1 for sure
[03:18] <[DFC] Eggman> fusionxn1: i dont really see why you need the NTFS support, i never touch my windows partition when im in linux
[03:18] <fusionxn1> [DFC] Eggman - ubuntu will be my only os
[03:18] <Saulren> How do I gain Owner permissions? I can't do something because it says I am not the owner.

[03:20] <[DFC] Eggman> fusionxn1: no sound seems like it would be pretty bad,
[03:20] <fusionxn1> [DFC] Eggman - on board only
[03:20] <tom47> Saulren and porecede chown with sudo as you will need that level of authority to do it
[03:20] <saif> caveMan_,  u can
[03:21] <gubuntu> how do i force install using -mcpan?
[03:21] <gubuntu> perl -MCPAN -e 'force install Mail::SpamAssassin'   Does not work
[03:21] <[DFC] Eggman> fusionxn1: well i was looking around and x-fi drivers are exprected to come out Q2 in 2007
[03:21] <Saulren> so if I:  chown user:group filename    that gives me owner permissions on all levels?
[03:21] <fusionxn1> [DFC] Eggman - yes
[03:21] <Saulren> basically i need owner permissions on /usr/local
[03:22] <Saulren> my user is currently ubuntu still
[03:22] <fusionxn1> [DFC] Eggman - im worried about my harddrives the most
[03:22] <Saulren> so what would i type exactly?
[03:22] <Kingsqueak> gubuntu: why not just apt-get install spamassassin ?
[03:22] <ftp4you> love this os i can almost get rid of microsoft!
[03:22] <gubuntu> for more compliacted reasons theni would like to go into
[03:22] <ftp4you> need to learn how to do couple more things
[03:23] <[DFC] Eggman> fusionxn1: why are you worried about them? you can back up your data before you try to install
[03:23] <Kingsqueak> gubuntu: k, what's the error it's giving you with cpan?
[03:23] <fusionxn1> [DFC] Eggman - 300GB?? Lol
[03:23] <pastlives> Does anyone here know if the latest release of Ubuntu for AMD64 has the necessary drivers for the Broadcom 802.11g wireless adapter?? If no, any way I can find out??
[03:23] <Saulren> so:  chown ubuntu:ubuntu /user/local   ?
[03:24] <gubuntu> make test had returned bad status, won't install without force
[03:24] <five_laptop> whats a good app for encoding a .vob to anything else?  mencode?
[03:24] <Kingsqueak> gubuntu: you are probably missing a dependency
[03:24] <ftp4you> how is ubuntu on winmodems
[03:24] <ftp4you> i used freebsd a lot and never had luck
[03:25] <alva> hi

[03:33] <edoardo> hi everyone! i just installed edgy. i'm tryin' to mount a couple of nfs partition, but it's been totally slow. prolly cause the portmap service and such ain't runnin' how do is start'em? how do i tell'em to start at boot? thanks!
[03:34] <bruenig> alva, anything in a config file that has a # in front of it is not read. Those #'s were in front of the extra repositories, so that command removed them, if you didn't get the first explanation
[03:34] <alva> bruenig, after that downloads, do I need to update sources again?

[03:35] <edoardo> well who cares : D
[03:35] <bruenig> alva, if you want it back to the way it was, (don't know why you would, this gives you far more packages to select from), you could do sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.old /etc/apt/sources.list

[03:40] <alva> bruenig, it seems multiverse is there, so why cant it install java?
[03:40] <bruenig> alva, do sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list, when it opens on the second and third line the ones that say "deb[-src]  http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper main restricted" , add the word multiverse to the end of the lines, save and then do sudo apt-get update

[03:41] <edoardo> got portmap

[03:43] <alva> bruenig, I thik I need a proper sources :P
[03:43] <edoardo> that's what i thought, but i restarted and they didn't mount... though i didn't have portmap then : D maybe now they will : D
[03:43] <bruenig> alva, if you would add "multiverse" to the end of the second and third line, it would work

[03:47] <win2lin> I am having trouble mounting CD ROMS (VERY unreliable) in Edgy and I can't create CDs at all.
[03:47] <Kingsqueak> gyop: they need to be compiled

[03:48] <wweasel> !apache

[03:53] <alva> Flannel, why is it faulty?
[03:53] <wweasel> Saulren: np :)
[03:53] <alva> Flannel, can you pleases create a NEW fresh paste for me with a proper sources.list ?
[03:53] <oht> tom47: i assumed so, but is there a way to enable that functionality with the ubuntu build?
[03:53] <gyop> wweasel hmm this means i can not use?
[03:53] <wilkin> when i do uname -r, i get my kernel version, but when I go into /usr/src and ls -l, i get 0 items
[03:53] <Kingsqueak> gyop: why not use gaim?
[03:53] <tom47> oht check out that reference above
[03:53] <wweasel> gyop: It would be like the back-end for a client. Behind the scenes. Do you need some help finding a client? I know that was one of the biggest pains for me when I switched to Ubuntu
[03:53] <oht> i compiled Rc1 myself, and everything worked fine, but the 'software update manager' kept insisting that the ubuntu pre8 build was more recent :P
[03:54] <Kingsqueak> gyop: you have to compile lmme and if yer new you may not be able to get that done
[03:54] <oht> tom: thz
[03:54] <alva> does anyone here at al have a WORKING sources list?
[03:54] <oht> *thx
[03:54] <wilkin> i'm trying to install cisco client
[03:54] <wilkin> vpn
[03:54] <dhunter> wilkin: you dont have source?
[03:54] <wweasel> Kingsqueak:  Beyond that, I think LMME is simply a backend engine, not an actual client
[03:54] <Flannel> alva: That's a correct sources.list, the AU mirror is down, o rbeing updated, or whatnot.  it's NOT a sources.list error
[03:54] <RegalEagle> What's the command to restart X?
[03:54] <Kingsqueak> wweasel: ah, heh, then that would make it hard to use
[03:54] <ftp4you> anyone here ever modified a ubuntu install cd so that you could add packages in so on install they would be there
[03:54] <alva> Flannel, can you give me one without AU?
[03:54] <wweasel> gyop: Have you tried Gaim? It's by far the most popular MSN client in linux.
[03:54] <Xenguy> Kingsqueak: he wants to use a webcam with it
[03:54] <wilkin> i've tried installing source but says that i have current
[03:55] <Flannel> alva: just go through and change all the urls, remove the au.
[03:55] <Kingsqueak> doesn't gaim do video now?
[03:55] <tuckerm> How can i get my drivers make
[03:55] <Flannel> ftp4you: you want a custom lvieCD (desktop) or Alternate CD?
[03:55] <tuckerm> back*
[03:55] <Xenguy> Kingsqueak: dunno, I would never use msn ;-)
[03:55] <gyop> wweasel:  thank you for explanation
[03:55] <NewcomerXb> I have Winblows XP on my internal HD, and after changing motherboards it hasnt functioned right. Id love to reinstall it,, but all i have is a burnt copy of the WINXP install. How can i extract the activation code? :/
[03:55] <dhunter> wilkin: what command did you use?
[03:55] <ftp4you> both would be nice
[03:55] <ftp4you> is there a program that can help
[03:55] <wilkin>  sudo apt-get install linux-source
[03:55] <alva> Flannel, ok!  removed all the .au
[03:56] <Flannel> NewcomerXb: believe it's in the registry somewhere, you might try googling around for it
[03:56] <gyop> Kingsqueak:  also thank you for helping..
[03:56] <ftp4you> i've done it with freebsd and windowsxp
[03:56] <gyop> wweasel: i want to use my webcam.. but gaim is not allow to
[03:56] <alva> Flannel, should the line with multiverse work now?
[03:56] <Flannel> ftp4you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization
[03:56] <NewcomerXb> but i cant log into windows o look at the registry... i hope i can do that from linux
[03:56] <wweasel> gyop: np. Essentially, the thing with Linux's MSN clients is that there is plenty of choice. There are 5 or so to choose between. None of them are exactly the same as Live Messenger in Windows, but they do pretty well.
[03:56] <ftp4you> they have a program that kinda helps
[03:56] <RegalEagle> What's the command to restart X?
[03:56] <wweasel> gyop: There is a gaim fork to allow webcams. I'll look up what it's called
[03:56] <ftp4you> thanks flannel
[03:56] <gyop> Hmm
[03:56] <wweasel> gyop: In terms of protocol implementation, the most advanced is aMSN.
[03:56] <tom47> startx
[03:56] <bimberi> RegalEagle: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart
[03:57] <gyop> wweasel:  i tried aMSN
[03:57] <Xenguy> RegalEagle: Ctr-Alt-Bkspc, or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[03:57] <wweasel> gyop: You just need to get over the fact that the client itself is pretty ugly if you use aMSN
[03:57] <Kingsqueak> gyop: the gaim fork isn't working yet fully
[03:57] <wweasel> Kingsqueak: Is it functional?
[03:58] <gyop> wweasel:  i installed aMSN, but i cant run. When i start it, it always stuck!!!!
[03:58] <Kingsqueak> wweasel: was only yahoo and receive only, not broadcast
[03:58] <tom47> oht its fun once you get wet lol
[03:58] <wweasel> Kingsqueak: urk.
[03:58] <wweasel> gyop: That's odd. You installed it from the repos?
[03:58] <jessid> Hello, some of you can help me, please to connect a Palm with ubuntu?
[03:59] <wilkin> any ideas?
[03:59] <oht> ;)
[03:59] <gyop> repos?
[03:59] <wweasel> gyop: apt-get or Synaptic
[03:59] <gyop> yeap
[03:59] <Kingsqueak> jessid: apt-cache search pilot | grep Palm | sort
[03:59] <LjL> Ubotu, please tell gyop about repos
[03:59] <gyop> to apt-get
[03:59] <ftp4you> anyone know if you can use vmware to run winxp to access winmodem for faxing dial up etc
[04:00] <gyop> i use apt-get to install
[04:00] <Kingsqueak> jessid: likely gnome-pilot or kpilot
[04:00] <ruewan> howdy peoples
[04:00] <ftp4you> probably no right do to ubuntu not reading hardware
[04:00] <wweasel> gyop: try running it from a terminal. open up a terminal and type in "amsn" - does it give you an error message?
[04:00] <tom47> jessid this may help ... http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Palm_sync_dapper
[04:00] <jessid> Kingsqueak man, that does not work
[04:00] <Kingsqueak> jessid: you didn't see a list of apps?
[04:00] <ruewan> has anyone here gotten Azureus to work
[04:00] <printk> ftp4you: i'd assume  no
[04:01] <Telroth_Plushie|> ruewan, yes
[04:01] <Kingsqueak> jessid: try  apt-cache search gnome-pilot
[04:01] <ruewan> mine keeps saying file not found when i click on a file
[04:01] <Kingsqueak> jessid: you may need to fix something before you can install this
[04:01] <Flannel> wilkin: linux-source is the vanilla (non ubuntu) source, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile will get you the current source
[04:01] <gyop> wweasel: it doesnt give any error but when i enter my password and press log-in. It's STUCK =o\ and i tried many times.
[04:01] <ftp4you> right now i use tinyxp with ubuntu running with vmware
[04:01] <jessid> Kingsqueak yes, I see the list, what I mean is that I havent been able to make the palm "talk" to ubuntu, yet
[04:02] <Kingsqueak> jessid: oh, sorry
[04:02] <wilkin> thanks Flannel, this is just starting to frustrate the heck out of me
[04:02] <Kingsqueak> jessid: o.k. so you are what, in gnome?
[04:02] <jessid> Kingsqueak ;-)
[04:02] <wweasel> gyop...hmmm..
[04:02] <jessid> Kingsqueak yes in gnome
[04:02] <jessid> i have tried kpilo and jpilot
[04:02] <Kingsqueak> jessid: when you run gnome-pilot, can it detect it at all?
[04:02] <Kingsqueak> or the others
[04:02] <wweasel> gyop: what do you mean by stuck? the program crashes? can't log in?
[04:03] <jessid> Kingsqueak nop! does not detects it...
[04:03] <ruewan> my azurues keeps saying that the file can't be found and when i browse all of the files a greyed out
[04:03] <Rug> Howdy all, I have just upgraded to Edgy, and now most of my KDE apps crash (amarok,krusader, konqueror).  I have tried to install kubuntu-desktop, but that gives me an error stating that the package is broken (xorg needs to be installed but it won't).  Suggestions (other then a nuke + reinstall?
[04:03] <Kingsqueak> jessid: try what tom47 said root@freebiemob:~# apt-cache search pilot | grep Palm
[04:03] <Kingsqueak> derp
[04:03] <Kingsqueak> sorry, bad paste buffer
[04:04] <Kingsqueak> root@freebiemob:~# apt-cache search pilot | grep Palm
[04:04] <tom47> jessid http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Palm_sync_dapper
[04:04] <Kingsqueak> damned paste
[04:04] <Kingsqueak> thnx
[04:04] <tom47> nw
[04:04] <jessid> tom47 I am in it,,,thanks!
[04:04] <Kingsqueak> man I *hate* pasting on a two-button laptop
[04:04] <wweasel> Kingsqueak: Hitting both buttons emulates a middle button
[04:05] <Rug> Kingsqueak: Ctrl+C still works
[04:05] <Kingsqueak> yeah but you have to do it fast
[04:05] <gyop> wweasel: when i press Log-In button. it freeze. There are a world. its doing fade-in and fade-out. and then There are a window within whitescreen.. when you want to close, you have you use force.
[04:05] <MicroMause> Hello
[04:05] <Kingsqueak> Rug: I always forget which is which x v c
[04:05] <Kingsqueak> Rug: not a windows guy ;-)
[04:05] <Rug> C = Copy   X = Cut   X = Paste
[04:05] <MicroMause> Is there anyway to format my HD via the live CD?
[04:05] <Flannel> V paste, he means
[04:05] <MicroMause> (First time user)
[04:05] <gyop> you have to use force*
[04:05] <Rug> ack, sorry
[04:06] <Rug> yes, V=paste.
[04:06] <Kingsqueak> that doesn't seem to work to terms
[04:06] <Rug> Kingsqueak: DOS taught me that, not Win
[04:06] <Flannel> Kingsqueak: cmd prompts you need to use the mouse. and other funky stuff
[04:06] <lemur> I like to use shift+del and shift+ins
[04:06] <lemur> it makes a lot more sense to me
[04:06] <Flannel> MicroMause: yes, the installer has a partitioner, and I'm not sure if Gparted is installed or not, but if it is, that's another way
[04:06] <Rug> Ctrl + INS for copy, Shift + INS for paste
[04:06] <Laibsch> Anybody has an idea how to fix the mess that I am after my edgy upgrade?  Further info at the support request I opened: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+ticket/2451
[04:07] <Kingsqueak> ahh shift-del and ins works in terms, thnx
[04:07] <Laibsch> s/I am/I am in/
[04:07] <Kingsqueak> now to remember that
[04:07] <wweasel> gyop: I'm not sure how to help you with that. You can try #amsn
[04:07] <xerophyte> how can i burn bin file to dvd ??
[04:07] <NewcomerXb> :< I read that to reinstall WindowsXP ill need to call in for a new activation key. I can already hear them asking me tons of questions and selling me garbage
[04:07] <wweasel> gyop: I think that's your best bet
[04:07] <MicroMause> Thanks... one last question... is there some sort of check disk type app on the live CD? (Never used Linux before)
[04:07] <NewcomerXb> microsoft should nuke itself
[04:07] <Rug> MicroMause: fsck
[04:07] <gyop> =o)) thank you for everthing wweasel =o)) thank you for your concern =o)
[04:08] <MicroMause> Thankie =)
[04:08] <NewcomerXb> fsck is the way to go
[04:08] <ruewan> hey
[04:08] <NewcomerXb> :)
[04:08] <|rt|> NewcomerXb: actually ms should be able to tell that your HD serial number hasn't changed and just issue you another key without too many questions
[04:08] <MicroMause> Windows installer crashes on me =(
[04:08] <NewcomerXb> but if you fsck a mounted disk, dont agree to move around bits and stuff
[04:08] <MicroMause> And I have no idea why
[04:08] <Rug> MicroMause: ALWAYS unmount before you fsck
[04:08] <NewcomerXb> [rt]  I see. Hmm.
[04:08] <wweasel> gyop: Np :) For webcams, aMSN is definitely your best bet, perhaps your only bet to my knowledge
[04:08] <MicroMause> Oh?
[04:08] <MicroMause> I'm on the LiveCD now
[04:08] <ruewan> i am fed up with microsoft i want to start a rebellion
[04:08] <Rug> wweasel: doesn't kopete work?
[04:09] <NewcomerXb> They should die
[04:09] <MicroMause> I'm fed up too
[04:09] <MicroMause> But... I need apps that run on it
[04:09] <wweasel> Rug: Kopete does webcams?
[04:09] <NewcomerXb> and this IS the rebellion komrades
[04:09] <Rug> wweasel: yupp
[04:09] <Xenguy> xerophyte: command-line or GUI?  ;-)
[04:09] <xerophyte> Xenguy, eitherway i got bin and cue file
[04:09] <gyop> Thank you again.. I'll install and i try it again now =o))
[04:09] <xerophyte> need to burn it
[04:09] <wweasel> oh. So gyop, you can also check out Kopete. Definitely check it out actually
[04:09] <|rt|> anyone know why an AuthUser
[04:09] <NewcomerXb> believe me micromause, other than games you should be okay
[04:09] <|rt|> er
[04:09] <gyop> Kopete hmm
[04:09] <NewcomerXb> you can even emulate many windows apps. Just not all games
[04:09] <|rt|> damn enter key...lets try that question again
[04:09] <NewcomerXb> thanks ***rug!
[04:09] <MicroMause> Well, work stuff too... you'll hate me... .NET =D
[04:10] <Xenguy> xerophyte: k3b is the GUI app I use...
[04:10] <NewcomerXb> ah thats okay, i understand .net
[04:10] <Rug> hehe
[04:10] <|rt|> anyone know why an AuthUserFile directive with Apache would be ignored?
[04:10] <xerophyte> Xenguy, i use gnome
[04:10] <Xenguy> xerophyte: so do I
[04:10] <mogul> Hello... I've just migrated from Fedora to Ubuntu.  Most things are going very well, but I've been unable to get my Thunderbird profile recognized.  I moved it into .mozilla-thunderbird, edited profiles.ini to change the directory name, and started it, only to have Thunderbird ignore it.  Any ideas?
[04:10] <NewcomerXb> Okay so, does anyone know if the activation key is all i'll need, or will i need the disk's serial? Because... i just have a burned copy here
[04:10] <Xenguy> xerophyte: command line to burn ISO images is:  growisofs -Z /dev/cdrom=____.iso
[04:10] <Kingsqueak> nautilus does a fair job of CD burning now actually
[04:10] <NewcomerXb> for WINXP that is
[04:11] <gyop> wweasel:  kopete looks great and it supports webcam
[04:11] <ruewan> i figure if i can get enough people i know to install ubuntu it would spread like a virus and eventually microsoft would fall
[04:11] <dhunter> |rt| module not loaded?
[04:11] <ruewan> unfortunately i can't get azureus to work
[04:11] <printk> NewcomerXb: we will not help you in installing an illegal copy of Windows.  Please stick to topic
[04:11] <Trainstroker> when i try to format something gparted a window of the drive pops up and i get an error. im guessing it dosnt need to popup
[04:11] <NewcomerXb> ruewan, im telling everyone i know
[04:11] <MicroMause> It's funny... xchat is free on linux, but shareware on Windows? lol
[04:11] <|rt|> dhunter: isn't that part of the core?
[04:11] <gyop> wweasel: And its huge!
[04:11] <|rt|> dhunter: if not which module would I need
[04:11] <printk> NewcomerXb: go try #windows
[04:11] <NewcomerXb> okay okay
[04:11] <Xenguy> xerophyte: FWIW you can extract from .bin/.cue with vcdxrip
[04:11] <[Relic] > fresh install now to get nvidia glx working  :)
[04:11] <eobanb> MicroMause, there are free builds for windows.
[04:11] <Kingsqueak> MicroMause: if you don't say that, people probably wouldn't use it heh
[04:11] <|rt|> dhunter: I'm not seeing any errors in the logs about a missing module
[04:11] <eobanb> MicroMause, silverex.fino
[04:11] <eobanb> info*
[04:12] <Kragnerac> Hello, I am trying to upgrade ubuntu-desktop to edgy from dapper, but it says it cannot, since xorg cannot be installed.
[04:12] <Xenguy> xerophyte: e.g.: vcdxrip -vp -b ____.bin
[04:12] <NewcomerXb> well as far as linux goes, can i reinstall ubuntu without losing stuff on my data partition?
[04:12] <dhunter> |rt| look in /etc/apache/mods_available
[04:12] <printk> NewcomerXb: sure, just don't touch that data partion and you should be set
[04:12] <NewcomerXb> because i miffed on the installation some.
[04:12] <NewcomerXb> okay :)
[04:12] <wweasel> gyop:  beacuse that's not only kopete, you also need a bunch of KDE libraries
[04:12] <dhunter> |rt| or look in /etc/apache2/mods_available
[04:12] <mike-e> what's the best way to get time to synchronize automatically with ntp?
[04:13] <eobanb> mike-e, open the date and time thing and just enable it
[04:13] <Kingsqueak> mike-e: gnome will set that up for you, there's a tool right in one of the menus
[04:13] <gyop> wweasel: hmm oke =o))
[04:13] <mike-e> i'm using xfce
[04:13] <TheoMurpse> I have just installed Edgy, and I'm trying to get Wireless working. I have a Linksys WRT54G with WEP(TKIP). How can I configure this? I go to my wireless settings and set ESSID correctly, and set the Network Password to the WEP password. However, it won't connect. What is the matter?
[04:13] <MicroMause> So I run this fsck thing from the terminal?
[04:13] <mike-e> i'm looking for either chron or an initd script
[04:13] <mike-e> cron
[04:13] <NewcomerXb> Right.
[04:13] <|rt|> dhunter: yeah i looked in mods-enabled and mods-available
[04:14] <NewcomerXb> Okay another question. How do you get codecs or Totem so it'll play all the things its supposed to?
[04:14] <NewcomerXb> *for totem
[04:14] <MicroMause> What parameter do I use to get help? =) (thanks btw)
[04:14] <Kingsqueak> mike-e: go to Applications on the launcher, -> System -> time and date
[04:14] <|rt|> dhunter: the only auth mods that aren't enabled are ldap, digest, dbm, and anon
[04:14] <wilkin> Flannel, I'm still having some problems with this...I'm just learning how to get around in linux and don't know the first thing about compiling kernels...is just a lost cause?
[04:15] <phpwner> how do i give rwx to /usr/home/FOOBAR to user FOOBAR
[04:15] <dhunter> |rt|  ok dont know
[04:15] <|rt|> dhunter: I guess I should look up what each of those do to see if any are applicable
[04:15] <eobanb> !tell NewcomerXb about restricted
[04:15] <NewcomerXb> erm
[04:15] <ruewan> i got it to work

[04:18] <alva> mike-e, ok
[04:18] <alva> mike-e, can you look at my current sources?
[04:18] <tahiry> hi. does anyone have a torrent url for edgy 6.10 DVD?
[04:18] <Rug> Kragnerac: I am haveing the same problem

[04:20] <TheReconHunter> Hey, I noticed a consistant crash in edgy, that i thought i should bring to light. In my case, if you try pasting text from openoffice to gaim, openoffice crashes
[04:20] <at0m> whats do most ppl use for bittorrent client in linux? azurus isnt well made IMO
[04:20] <Toran> is it possible to have composite 3d effects and 3d acceleration in games?
[04:20] <RegalEagle> "gdm is not the default display manager" How do I fix that?

[04:22] <at0m> interesting. thanks
[04:22] <mike-e> i just screen -S torrents btdownloadcurses /torrentdirectory and let it roll
[04:22] <Jimbo> what is the command to reset Samba username an password so i can access the linux machine from windows. I can already see it I just cant access files on it yet.

[04:25] <Phlosten> !seveas
[04:25] <ubotu> Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages. More info (and mirrors) on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[04:25] <Kingsqueak> just download them from mplayer-hq and install them in /usr/local/lib/win32/
[04:25] <mike-e> EchoBinary : install mplayer or http://www.debian-multimedia.org/pool/main/w/w32codecs/w32codecs_20061022-0.0_i386.deb
[04:26] <birdman> I need a little easy advice - I have 3 drives in my box, / is mounted on hda, I also have hde and hdg and would like to mount them so I can store my photos and mp3s on them, what's the best way to do that?
[04:26] <Phlosten> EchoBinary: ^
[04:26] <mike-e> seveas repositories are slow and unreliable
[04:26] <EchoBinary> cool

[04:26] <tahiry> phlosten: cool
[04:26] <patri1> hi!
[04:27] <holycow> birdman, create folders in /media, mount then via fstab and create shortcuts to the drives on your desktop or something
[04:27] <Jimbo> what is the command to share a drive on the network. Samba is already installed and password set
[04:27] <Jimbo> i need to be able to access hdb1 on the network
[04:28] <birdman> thanks, I've been digging through the fstab options without much success.  my drives keep mounting with root as owner
[04:28] <bimberi> Jimbo: System -> Administration -> Shared Folders (if you have gui) - otherwise /mgs ubotu samba

[04:28] <bimberi> Jimbo: yw :)
[04:29] <eobanb> patri1, good question...have you tried running it from a terminal to see if there is any error output?
[04:29] <jokoon> Hello :)
[04:29] <eobanb> welcome, jokoon
[04:29] <patri1> shows no error! have removed it from the system and installed again, but the prob remains!
[04:30] <TehUni> i'm installing a beta version of k3b, but i dont want it in the default dir, i'd like to install it in /opt. how can i do that?
[04:30] <Kingsqueak> TehUni: the ./configure script should have an option for that
[04:30] <at0m> irc://irc.freenode.net/#winehq  ... anyone with firefox 2.0 try clicking that... see if it says its not supported
[04:30] <Kingsqueak> TehUni: sometimes make DESTDIR=/path   works too but it depends on the Makefile
[04:30] <TehUni> Kingsqueak: how do i check?
[04:30] <nangisan> Hey all
[04:31] <MicroMause> Hello again
[04:31] <Kingsqueak> TehUni: ./configure --help
[04:31] <Kingsqueak> TehUni: shows all the options
[04:31] <Toran> is it possible to have composite 3d effects and 3d acceleration in games?
[04:31] <jokoon> I already ckecked ubotu for a problem related to grub : this time it is not grub that is not in my MBR, but it is windows that is not in my menu.lst. I'm looking for a tutorial at best :)
[04:31] <TehUni> mmm, good to know. thanks.
[04:31] <MicroMause> Is there an app to test your ram?
[04:31] <Kingsqueak> TehUni: likely --prefix=/path
[04:31] <nangisan> Has anyone on here installed VMWare workstation on Ubuntu 6.10?
[04:31] <Kingsqueak> TehUni: so it would be   ./configure --with-prefix=/wherever
[04:31] <TehUni> nangisan: i've got vmware server... close.
[04:32] <nangisan> Does it work in the same principal as workstation?
[04:32] <TehUni> Kingsqueak: awesome, thanks
[04:32] <TehUni> nangisan: yup. but free.
[04:32] <RegalEagle> Ive got VMware Server on WindowsXP :/
[04:32] <nangisan> TehUni: Did you have any problems installing it?
[04:32] <Kingsqueak> vmplayer won't 'play' an installed instance from a drive right?
[04:32] <TehUni> nangisan: nope.
[04:33] <RegalEagle> Running Ubuntu on it
[04:33] <gyop> Hello..
[04:33] <nangisan> Is there any easy way to install VMWare server? Or do i have to compile it?
[04:33] <gyop> has Kopete loging? can anyone know?
[04:33] <Pelo> hello gyop
[04:34] <TehUni> nangisan: nah, just download from vmware.com
[04:34] <nangisan> and then use the scripts?
[04:34] <TehUni> you have to compile a module to match your kernel, but it takes care of that for you.
[04:34] <tom47> !vmserver
[04:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about vmserver - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:34] <RegalEagle> !vmware
[04:34] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository. Instructions to install VMWare Server can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingVMWare
[04:34] <nangisan> TehUni: K. I'll try it and get back to you!
[04:35] <birdman> what kind of options do I need in fstab to mount my extra drives and have full access to them?  here's what I have now defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=000
[04:35] <Gorlith> is there a way to get tvout to work with an ati card?

[04:36] <birdman> ext3
[04:36] <Lathiat> birdman: you dont give those options to ext3
[04:36] <Lathiat> birdman: you change ownership on the files to be correct
[04:36] <nangisan> K. let my try and i'll get back to everyone ;)
[04:36] <Lathiat> just mount it with defaults and use chmod/chown to se tthem right
[04:36] <valehru> Hey guys, I've been trying to install my wifi card for ages.  ndiswrapper says its installed, the light in the wifi is on, however there is no eth1 in the network-manager.
[04:36] <seth1248> Is anyone else haveing the problem that nautilus crashes after clicking on video file after upgrade to edgy?
[04:36] <birdman> use chmod/chown on the directory I mount them to?
[04:37] <Lathiat> birdman: yes
[04:37] <nangisan> 100 megs nice
[04:37] <birdman> ok, so I'd need to chmod 777?
[04:37] <valehru> bugger - ndiswrapper is now saying bcmwl5  invalid driver!
[04:37] <RegalEagle> What's the command to open a terminal outside of X?
[04:38] <RegalEagle> It's a key combination I know
[04:38] <TehUni> ctrl+alt+f1
[04:38] <RegalEagle> ah
[04:38] <RegalEagle> ok
[04:38] <TehUni> to f6
[04:38] <phpnuborn> anyone here use vmplayer with ubuntu on a windows-xp system?
[04:38] <RegalEagle> yes
[04:38] <RegalEagle> Im running it now >_>
[04:38] <RegalEagle> Though mine is misbehaving right now, not XPs fault though
[04:39] <mister_roboto> phpnuborn: yes i do sometimes
[04:39] <RegalEagle> Ok so Im trying to remove kdm
[04:39] <RegalEagle> but it wont die
[04:39] <RegalEagle> How to kill?
[04:39] <RegalEagle> the Kubuntu splash screen comes up but it doesnt stop
[04:39] <Kingsqueak> RegalEagle: /etc/init.d/kdm stop
[04:39] <RegalEagle> I cant get a terminal to come up
[04:39] <RegalEagle> Im on the splash screen
[04:39] <Kingsqueak> ah, yeah that's a pain
[04:40] <Kingsqueak> can you ssh into the system?
[04:40] <RegalEagle> No
[04:40] <RegalEagle> VMware server
[04:40] <Kingsqueak> yeah , doesn't that give it an IP of its own?
[04:40] <RegalEagle> I can kill the virt machine but that wont accomplish anything
[04:40] <RegalEagle> idk
[04:40] <Kingsqueak> ah
[04:40] <RegalEagle> I cant SSH anyways
[04:40] <phpnuborn> http://canned-os.blogspot.com/2006/10/grandmas-lamp-its-easy-enough-for.html   <<-- i'm running this vapp..  it has apache and samba.. i'm trying to connect my windows to the stuff in the vmplayer..
[04:40] <RegalEagle> I'll just kill it and retry
[04:40] <Kingsqueak> RegalEagle: basically if you reboot that if there is a 'rescue' mode, you could disable the init script for kdm
[04:41] <nangisan> I just spent days trying to get my second monitor working in Ubuntu. Tried so many alterations with the xorg.conf file with no result.... Turns out theres one line that i had to change "nv" to "nvidia". What a bitch.
[04:41] <RegalEagle> ok
[04:41] <RegalEagle> How would I do that?
[04:41] <Kingsqueak> RegalEagle: if the GRUB menu shows up when that virt machine starts, pick the kernel that is safe mode or rescue mode
[04:41] <phpnuborn> i can't even surf with FF in vmplayer.. help please
[04:41] <Kingsqueak> RegalEagle: I'm just not sure if those virt images work like that or not
[04:42] <Kingsqueak> I've only ever used VMWare Workstation which is different
[04:42] <RegalEagle> They do
[04:42] <Kingsqueak> k
[04:42] <caveMan_> is it possible to attach a console to some GUI program while it's already running?
[04:42] <Kingsqueak> when you go into safe mode, just edit the script in /etc/init.d/kdm
[04:42] <_whynot_> is there a terminal command for changing school resolution?
[04:42] <Kingsqueak> RegalEagle: the dirty/quick fix is to make the first line simply 'exit 0'
[04:43] <tom47> jl;kj
[04:43] <mister_roboto> caveMan_: no
[04:43] <_whynot_> *for changing screen resolution ...?
[04:43] <Kingsqueak> RegalEagle: then when you fix it, remove that line, the proper way to disable kdm is to use 'update-rc.d -f kdm remove'
[04:44] <RegalEagle> Kingsqueak query?
[04:44] <seth1248> Why do I get a seg fault when running gxine?
[04:44] <Kingsqueak> your nick has to be registered
[04:44] <seth1248> Anyone?
[04:44] <RegalEagle> it is
[04:44] <nangisan> It's asking me if i want networking for my vmware build. should i say yes?
[04:45] <Kingsqueak> seth1248: try running it from a terminal and see if there are errors
[04:45] <jokoon> Can I set tabs in grub ?
[04:45] <seth1248> Kingssqueak: that's all I get when running it from a terminal: Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[04:45] <nangisan> nevermind i just (yes)'d away
[04:46] <indref> Hello! Could somone help me with permissions.
[04:46] <phpnuborn> can anyone tell me how to make my ubuntu surf the net?
[04:46] <nangisan> phpnuborn: you'll have to be a little more percise.
[04:47] <Pelo> phpnuborn,   are you connected ?
[04:47] <indref> I'd like to simply read a folder and it's files, but they are locked out.
[04:47] <indref> Any help?
[04:47] <laynor> hi, I've upgraded to edgy, the wrong way (changing the sources.list files -_-'') and now I have some problems with ion3 and fonts. I tried to do it the right way but it says it cannot calculate the upgrade. what should I do?
[04:47] <Flannel> indref: which folder?
[04:47] <Pelo> indref,  what folder ?
[04:47] <indref> Flannel, /home/shayde/.gaim
[04:47] <Flannel> indref: and your username?
[04:47] <jokoon> I can't find any direct X options in ubuntu, where are they ?
[04:47] <phpnuborn> i load vmplayer with ubuntu on the virtual image.. i type in  www.dnsstuff.com ir can't connect..  using firefox...
[04:47] <indref> Is 'indref'
[04:48] <shutup> 'lo #ubuntu
[04:48] <Flannel> indref: and, why are you reading someone elses files?
[04:48] <indref> Flannel, Because I can?
[04:48] <phpnuborn> *i can't
[04:48] <Pelo> phpnuborn,  can you surf just using ff directly whitout loading vmplayer ?
[04:48] <funkyHat> This is really annoying...
[04:48] <Flannel> indref: obviously you can't.  Since they're probably only set to be read by their owner
[04:48] <Pelo> indref,  actualy you can'T which is hte point
[04:49] <nangisan> Alrighty I ran into a little problem during the install of VMWare server
[04:49] <indref> Flannel, Well, I'm the superuser, so everything is mine :D
[04:49] <stevej> How difficult would it be to set up a classroom full of macines to update off of the teachers machine, that is, only the teachers machine downloads from the internet, the others download .debs from the teacher.
[04:49] <wheelswitch> how long should badblocks -n take on a 320 gig disk? roughly speaking.
[04:49] <phpnuborn> no..  vmplayer is a virtual machine from vmware
[04:49] <nangisan> it says "Unable to find any instance of the super-user inetd or xinetd
[04:49] <funkyHat> When I first log in my touchpad doesn't do the stuff it should (double tap to drag, right edge scroll...)
[04:49] <nangisan> it wasnts me to install them?..
[04:49] <indref> Flannel, Yet sudo cd doesn't work.
[04:49] <Pelo> phpnuborn,  are you running ubuntu inside vmware ?
[04:49] <funkyHat> But I somehow managed to get it to work last time, I just don't know how :(
[04:49] <sizzam> nangisan: i ran into that too.   if you do 'sudo apt-get install xinetd' and then try the vmware-server installer again, it should work
[04:50] <phpnuborn> inside vmplayer.. so sort of yes to your question..
[04:50] <Pelo> phpnuborn, what kind of connection ?
[04:50] <hikenboot> hello all can anyone point me to an example of maping a directory to a windows share thru samba client?
[04:50] <indref> Flannel, Pelo Could I change the permissions using sudo chwn?
[04:50] <phpnuborn> vmplayer is a freebie from vmware
[04:50] <Pelo> indref,  it's not your folder so forget it
[04:50] <nangisan> sizzam: thanks i'll give it a try right now
[04:50] <Flannel> indref: correct.  sudo ls would, or if you want to open a shell sudo -i
[04:50] <Pelo> indref,  or ask permssion from the owner of the folder
[04:50] <mister_roboto> phpnuborn: actually, you can get vmware server for free now.
[04:51] <indref> Pelo, Well, he's been evicted, so that is not possible.
[04:51] <pxlmdk> ubuntu is the best thing ever in the universe on earth.
[04:51] <Flannel> indref: you don't want to chown or chmod, just use sudo to open cat or whatnot
[04:51] <phpnuborn> any that helps me how?
[04:51] <Pelo> phpnuborn, what kind of connection ?
[04:51] <indref> Flannel, sudo cd doesn't work..
[04:51] <Acu> greetings: I would like to open a book with extension  .pdb I know for windows we use isilo - what should I use in Debian or Ubuntu to open pdb files
[04:51] <mister_roboto> phpnuborn: doesn't help in the least other than you might wanna check it out some time. pelo is asking you an important question
[04:51] <Flannel> indref: correct.  Why do you need to cd though?  just give a path to the file.  sudo cat /home/whatever/.gaim/whatever
[04:52] <stevej> Acu, if I remember right, that's a Palm Database.
[04:52] <phpnuborn> my windows-xp-pro-sp2.. regular comcast cable IP address on my windows..
[04:52] <indref> Flannel, I don't know what is in /.gaim
[04:52] <bimberi> indref: cd is a bash shell internal, not a program so won't work with sudo
[04:52] <Acu> stevej: most probably
[04:52] <Pelo> phpnuborn,   dsl ? cable ? dailup ?
[04:52] <indref> Flannel, What is 'cat'
[04:52] <Flannel> indref: then sudo ls /home/whatever/.gaim  or just sudo -i
[04:52] <indref> bimberi, It's a what?
[04:53] <mister_roboto> phpnuborn: did you try doing a simple bridge connection for the eth card inside ubuntu?
[04:53] <indref> Flannel, Idea..
[04:53] <phpnuborn> the vmplayer with samba loaded/running has a VMnet1 and VMnet8  virtual ethernet nic cards...
[04:53] <mister_roboto> phpnuborn: sorry, i meant through vmplayer
[04:53] <bimberi> indref: it's a command built into the shell itself, not a separate executable.  There is no /usr/bin/cd .
[04:53] <indref> bimberi, Right.
[04:53] <bimberi> (or the like)
[04:54] <mister_roboto> phpnuborn: just set up one of the virtual nics using a bridged connection to your computer pc
[04:54] <nangisan> sizzam: nice i'm past that point now, thanks
[04:54] <indref> Flannel, Well, that worked.
[04:54] <sizzam> nangisan: cool, you're welcome
[04:54] <phpnuborn> bridge connection?   i basically know what a bridge is.. not how to use it
[04:54] <Gorlith> sorry i know i asked before, but is there a way to get tv out working with an ATI card
[04:55] <nangisan> lol it's asking me for a serial?
[04:55] <Pelo> G'night folks
[04:55] <sharms_> phpnuborn: its an option when you create your vmware install
[04:55] <mister_roboto> phpnuborn: i can't remember the exact syntax since i'm not in vmware now. it's one of the eth types you can choose.  use bridging
[04:55] <mister_roboto> phpnuborn: just connects straight to your computer's nic
[04:55] <lilywhiteman> okay ikm on ubuntu's live cd, reinstalling the thing
[04:56] <lilywhiteman> By default it says it wants to put GRUB on hd0
[04:56] <Daylighter> if I install KDE on ubuntu, can I choose between KDE and Gnome?
[04:56] <Flannel> Daylighter: yep
[04:56] <indref> Flannel, Thanks for the help, you hit the nail on the head.
[04:56] <lilywhiteman> since im running off an external HD, should i change that to sd0?
[04:56] <Daylighter> that's what I thought
[04:56] <phpnuborn> connect doesn't tell me anything..   i need..   click this.. click that.. look for this type instructions...
[04:56] <nangisan> sizzam: do you remember it asking your for a serial?
[04:56] <lilywhiteman> seeing as the partitions are sda1,2,3 anyway
[04:56] <Daylighter> I remember using peanut-linux and switching between environments
[04:56] <Flannel> Daylighter: install kubuntu-desktop, then you'll change via "session" at GDM/KDM (at login)
[04:56] <sizzam> nangisan: yes, you have to go register and get one.  it's free
[04:56] <nangisan> k
[04:57] <Daylighter> kubuntu-desktop?
[04:57] <sizzam> nangisan: just give them a junk email address
[04:57] <Flannel> Daylighter: yeah, that'll install the Kubuntu desktop package (with kde, much like ubuntu-desktop installs the gnome flavor)
[04:57] <Daylighter> oh
[04:57] <Daylighter> I just want to play with KDE, because I havent in a few version numbers
[04:58] <Daylighter> I left linux a while ago and am just now coming back
[04:58] <lilywhiteman> will my grub boot drive be sd0 instead of hd0 since im using an external?
[04:58] <skinnison> Is a SoundBlaster AudioPCI 128D equivalent to ES1370 or ES1371?
[04:58] <lilywhiteman> or should i leave it
[04:58] <Flannel> lilywhiteman: it depends on what your BIOS sees it as
[04:58] <electric_donkey> =/ Sooooo I have a dapper laptop sharing its internet connection with another box via firestarter. Is there any easy way to get ALL ports forwarded to the other box (with a few exceptions)?
[04:59] <lilywhiteman> oh dear. it lists it as a hard disk
[04:59] <fusionxn1> Anyone using NTFS-3G
[04:59] <lilywhiteman> so i suppose hd then?
[04:59] <fusionxn1> or used it
[04:59] <tom47> lilywhiteman if it works leave it alone
[04:59] <lilywhiteman> okay lets see then...
[05:00] <Flannel> lilywhiteman: to grub, everything is hd
[05:00] <lilywhiteman> ah
[05:00] <fusionxn1> Anyone using NTFS-3G or ever used it?
[05:00] <Gorlith> whats the best way to get WoW to work in Ubuntu? is there a link someone could shoot my way?
[05:00] <zach634> Gorlith: wine?
[05:00] <Flannel> Gorlith: theres a howto on the forums, or, there is if it's possible
[05:00] <gr33npho4nix> hey has anybody else not been able to see wireless networks with intel cards in edgy
[05:00] <tom47> fusionxn1 no ... just noted it was beta and not stable
[05:01] <lilywhiteman> why does the installer fail to create an ext3 filesystem of partition 1 every time? :(
[05:01] <fusionxn1> ntfs-3g is ment to be very stable
[05:01] <gr33npho4nix> they work when added by hand, but don't show up otherwise
[05:01] <fusionxn1> i wanted to know if anyoen used it if its any good
[05:01] <Scunizi> I need grub help. Blew up my sda1 partition w/XP but still able to boot to ubuntu on sdb3... at least until I reinstall xp. Suggestions on repairing grub?
[05:02] <Flannel> !grub | Scunizi
[05:02] <ubotu> Scunizi: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[05:02] <zach634> Gorlith: to be honest though...  don't play WoW on ubuntu, or any OS for that matter :P
[05:02] <Gorlith> i tried with wine and wasnt able to get it running, but i'll do some more looking later
[05:02] <Scunizi> Thanks
[05:02] <fusionxn1> Apparently wine is best for WoW
[05:02] <czedlitz> i play wow on ubuntu
[05:02] <skinnison> I am having problems getting sound out of a SoundBlaster AudioPCI 128D on Edgy Ubuntu.  It is getting registered as ES1371.
[05:02] <skinnison> Any suggestions?
[05:03] <zach634> skinnison: did it work in dapper?
[05:03] <lilywhiteman> "The ext3 file system creation in partition #1 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) failed."  Yet, i thought I set that one up pretty well. I have the partitions set up as they need to be. 15 gigs for root, 1 gig for swap, and 90 gigs ext2 data space
[05:03] <skinnison> zach634: It has never worked. 5.10 or 6.06
[05:03] <zach634> skinnison: well, I don't really have a solution, I was just curious.
[05:04] <skinnison> zach634:  Thanks anyways.
[05:04] <zach634> :P
[05:04] <fusionxn1> Anyone using NTFS-3G or ever used it?
[05:06] <hikenboot> fusionxn1, I have used it on knoppix 5.0.1 to reset admin passwords on windows servers
[05:06] <vader> fusionxn1, nope
[05:06] <fusionxn1> Any good?
[05:06] <stevej> Skinnison, It may be detecting the card correctly, Creative bought at least a chipset line frrom Ensoniq a long time ago, you may want to try debugging on the assumption that Edgy got the architecture correct.
[05:06] <lilywhiteman> Um, if my /home was originally on partition 3, and i reinstall linux in partition 1, will that mean anything in /home will get overwritten?
[05:06] <lilywhiteman> such as all my data :P
[05:06] <omV0> i got a new graphic card.. how do i make ubuntu auto-reconfigure the display settings?
[05:07] <lilywhiteman> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh   i think
[05:07] <hikenboot> lilywhiteman, no it wont overwrite the partition if you dont tell it to
[05:07] <omV0> i know with SuSE i used command "sax2"
[05:07] <fusionxn1> hikenboot - is it stable?
[05:07] <slew> hi, whats a good program to capture sound with?
[05:07] <stevej>  lilywhiteman, back up the data anyway though.
[05:07] <lilywhiteman> hikenboot bt wont it have trouble accessing suff under the "martin/" folder that used to be my login?
[05:08] <lilywhiteman> i did, just ebing careful
[05:08] <hikenboot> seems to work great at least that feature of knoppix 5.0.1 but other things are quirky on knoppix i have found like chroot and remastering crashing and such
[05:08] <tom47> lilywhiteman i always have an extra partition that i backup my /home to before doing any partition work
[05:08] <fusionxn1> hikenboot - can u create and delete files without it or feeling like it will remove any?
[05:08] <lilywhiteman> oh thats a good idea, a new partition
[05:08] <skinnison> From the postings I have found, there was an older problem with digital output to SB cards on Linux.  Is that still true?
[05:08] <tom47> lilywhiteman on a separate hard disk if possible
[05:08] <fusionxn1> hikenboot - im worried
[05:09] <lilywhiteman> well its all on dvds anyway
[05:09] <hikenboot> if you install your home directory into a different partion it wont overwrite it be carefull to not automatically configure hard drive partitoning scheme because it will overwrite the entire drive...better yet make a backup
[05:09] <crimsun> skinnison: without more details & context, that's impossible to answer.
[05:09] <lilywhiteman> i never automatically configure anyway =)
[05:09] <fusionxn1> hikenboot - 300gb :( cant
[05:09] <hikenboot> fusuionxn1 they recommend having a backup for readwrite mode
[05:10] <fusionxn1> hikenboot - is fat any slower
[05:10] <skinnison> crimsum:  What details would you need?   Be sure to have installed
[05:11] <edgy__> the nvidia driver for your running kernel.
[05:11] <edgy__> Though uname -a shows 2.6.17-10-386 and I have installed linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-10-386
[05:11] <hikenboot> yes its slower and im not sure fat32 will address 300gb partition if im not mistaken
[05:11] <fusionxn1> hikenboot - whats that
[05:11] <lilywhiteman> thought so. i just jumped to that conclusion but i wanted to be sure
[05:12] <lilywhiteman> does making the swap partition bigger have any effect on performance?
[05:12] <hikenboot> fusionxn1 sorry for the confusion I was talking to the other guy about partitons
[05:12] <tom47> lilywhiteman rule of thum 1.5x RAM
[05:12] <hikenboot> what you trying to do fusionxn1
[05:12] <fusionxn1> hikenboot - ok np :) What would you recommend
[05:12] <lilywhiteman> ah thank you... woah in that case ill need a good bit
[05:13] <fusionxn1> I want to use NTFS on ubuntu safely with read and write
[05:13] <slew> hi, whats a good program to capture sound with? like to record with a microphone or line-in device?
[05:13] <skelter>  i just got kiba-dock installed, and when i start it i see something appear but it quickly drops to jsut below the screen. i asked in #ubuntu-xgl but that channel is not so well populated
[05:13] <skinnison> crimsun: That's an awful lot of information for an IRC post?  What is the best way to summarize it?
[05:13] <vader> slew, I use audacity
[05:13] <hikenboot> if you want stable the most stable thing i have found believe it or not is pclinuxos second stability wise is ubuntu but not sure pclinuxos supports  ntfs-3g
[05:13] <crimsun> skinnison: pastebin
[05:13] <crimsun> (see topic)
[05:14] <slew> vader, thanks i'll give it a shot
[05:14] <hikenboot> fusionxn1 read write is still experimental
[05:14] <zach634> !pastebin > skinnison
[05:14] <vader> slew, np
[05:14] <fusionxn1> hikenboot - i know but i was told ntfx-3g was stable
[05:14] <tom47> !grub > tom47
[05:14] <lilywhiteman> woah, resizing takes forever
[05:14] <Daylighter> the first version of linux I used was Peanut linux. I had an old 100mhz AMD machine I needed to find a use for. I got on the internet and browsed and everything. It was nice. So now I'm in love with linux!
[05:15] <zach634> !life > zach634
[05:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about life - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:15] <hikenboot> well I would make frequent backups still is my opinion i have used it to reset admin passwords on boxes that needed data taken off them  but never really used them in production afterwards
[05:15] <fusionxn1> hikenboot - 300gig i cant backup
[05:15] <RegalEagle> When installing Ubuntu, on the Configuring xserver-xorg, when it says keep only resolutions you're going to use. Does that mean * the ones I want or * the ones I DONT want?
[05:15] <lilywhiteman> 300 gigs are tough to backup alright lol
[05:15] <fusionxn1> ya lol
[05:16] <Zirjoker> how do i make wget get all the files to the same directory??
[05:16] <Flannel> RegalEagle: the ones you want
[05:16] <lilywhiteman> i would take the drive out and put a new one in :D
[05:16] <zach634> how much of that do you really NEED to back up?
[05:16] <lilywhiteman> and just call that backup
[05:16] <lilywhiteman> then switch later
[05:16] <RegalEagle> So I put a * by the ones I want?
[05:16] <RegalEagle> Flannel: * the ones I want?
[05:16] <hikenboot> fusionxn1 get a second drive
[05:17] <fusionxn1> i got 2 totalling 300gb
[05:17] <fusionxn1> 3rd is 320 for os
[05:17] <lilywhiteman> hmm
[05:17] <Flannel> RegalEagle: believe so, yes.
[05:17] <lilywhiteman> can you burn data dvds?
[05:17] <RegalEagle> ok >_>
[05:17] <fusionxn1> only thing stopping me from linux
[05:17] <Zirjoker> how do i make wget get all the files to the same directory??
[05:17] <lilywhiteman> well linux is highly unlikely to eat files.
[05:17] <lilywhiteman> how about getting an external as i did. thats a nice way ^_^
[05:18] <lilywhiteman> and cheap
[05:18] <zach634> or ya know, each gmail account comes with 2gb of space...
[05:18] <zach634> wink wink
[05:18] <Flannel> !backup
[05:18] <ubotu> There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi
[05:18] <specialbuddy> is there a way to set up beryl on kubuntu?
[05:18] <Flannel> specialbuddy: ask in #beryl
[05:18] <fusionxn1> what 2 satas external?
[05:19] <lilywhiteman> oyvey, how long does it take to resize this partition >.<
[05:19] <lilywhiteman> oh its done c.c
[05:19] <sysdoc> specialbuddy, of course see the forum there are howto's for Beryl
[05:19] <bluebird> hello
[05:19] <skinnison> crimsun:  http://skinnison.pastebin.com/823865
[05:20] <lilywhiteman> is there a program on linux that lets you create a disk image of your own setup?
[05:20] <crimsun> skinnison: I won't be able to look for another hour or so; busy
[05:20] <Keyseir> Is it possible to install .net through wine?
[05:20] <hikenboot> fusionxn1 get a 750 gb hard drive and a sata controller and use it for backup backups are a good idea anyways ...there your best friend ..trust me
[05:21] <fusionxn1> hikenboot - i would but a lot of money
[05:21] <skinnison> crimsun:  Whenever you get a chance, I appreciate it.
[05:21] <Keyseir> ubotu, please tell fusionxn1 about getting a job.
[05:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about getting a job. - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:21] <lilywhiteman> ouch keyseir
[05:21] <hikenboot> figure it this way how much is your 300gb of data worth to you?
[05:21] <Keyseir> I couldn't resist =(
[05:21] <lilywhiteman> uboto knows nothing of jobs
[05:22] <tom47> steve will be delighted
[05:22] <fusionxn1> Haha not funny, its a lot of money - i have more priorites
[05:22] <lilywhiteman> im happy with my 150 gig external ^_^
[05:23] <lilywhiteman> i dont need all those gigs. I can be very efficient
[05:23] <lilywhiteman> which i think i mispelled
[05:23] <tom47> ubotu please tell Keyseir about running up flags to see who salutes
[05:23] <Keyseir> Hm, seagate barracuda 750 GB for 380$ on newegg
[05:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about running up flags to see who salutes - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:23] <fusionxn1> i dont live in US
[05:23] <electric_donkey> waiting for BLACK FRIDAY for my 750 GB
[05:23] <fusionxn1> Im in UK and we got high VAT also
[05:23] <omV0> server-xorg keeps giving me an error "xserver-xorg postinst warning: not updating /etc/X11/X; file has been customized" how do i override? i never customized that file...
[05:24] <lilywhiteman> 380$ is my monthly paycheck
[05:24] <dagonsio> chile
[05:24] <lilywhiteman> my life sucks. lol
[05:24] <zach634> i shall give 50 points to whoever can tell me if there's a way to use ssh to turn off numlock on a keyboard connected to the remote computer
[05:24] <Maurox> chile ?
[05:24] <dagonsio> chile!
[05:24] <lilywhiteman> mmm. chile. sounds good.
[05:24] <Maurox> viva chile ?
[05:24] <dagonsio> jeje
[05:25] <dagonsio> viva chile!
[05:25] <lilywhiteman> viva linix'ution
[05:25] <Crankymonky> viva che guevara!
[05:25] <Keyseir> Is it possible to install .net through wine?
[05:25] <lilywhiteman> viva... viva
[05:25] <zach634> viva las vegas!
[05:25] <lilywhiteman> i doubt it keyseir, microsoft would hate that so probably no
[05:25] <lilywhiteman> you know, whatever bill gates wants goes.  Little bash question .. I'm building this new box for my dad. He's got dial up and I can not test that from here at my house. I would like to write a simple bash script he can run to make XP the default if the dial up doesn't work on here. I thought about sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst .. but he still has to edit the default # .. can I make this update that default # by simple running the script?
[05:26] <caveMan_> would I risk data loss if I was to write on NTFS partitions from linux? or is the driver mature enough
[05:26] <Maurox> viva el monstruo :P
[05:27] <zach634> retiredcomet: make two menu.lst 's and have the script copy the right one to boot/grub
[05:27] <RetiredComet> zach634: good idea .. and simple too .. thank much ..
[05:27] <zach634> np
[05:27] <tom47> caveman afaik ntfs writing is in beta only and NOT recommended for production situations
[05:27] <[Relic] > any way to make a large batch of apt-gets run?  just installed fresh but need to get back to all the utils and stuff I had before the nvidia madness  :)
[05:28] <zach634> Relic: apt get will get all packages seperated by spaces
[05:28] <zach634> but you'd have to specify them all
[05:29] <[Relic] > wsa hoping I could pull of some sort of shell script so I could simply do search and replace for the list I made  :)
[05:29] <edgy__> Hi, Isn't it a bit strange that nvidia-glx in edgy is compiled for version <IP_ADDRESS> where edgy kernel is not 2.6.17-10
[05:29] <mikedoty> I can't get the Switch user function to work ... it has worked previously.  When I try to switch user, it teasingly offers me my other profile, but when I double click it, screen goes black again, then just comes back and tells me to enter my password to log back into my primary profile
[05:29] <mikedoty> Any ideas?
[05:29] <zach634> Relic: probably a way to do it, but I dont know
[05:29] <lilywhiteman> can i change around which partitions i want to be named sd1,sd2 and such?
[05:30] <tom47> no
[05:30] <lilywhiteman> o.o
[05:30] <bradley> when i wake my screen from black it asks for a password it's off in the screensaver area. where else should i look to turn it off?
[05:30] <lilywhiteman> ... why not?
[05:30] <tom47> but you can mount them on meaningfully named places
[05:30] <zach634> Relic: but in the time it would take you to make a shell script, you could probably just copy them over by hand...  unless the list happens to be long
[05:31] <lilywhiteman> I see
[05:31] <daylighter> ooh
[05:31] <mister_roboto> mikedoty: sounds like you're getting an error on the login for the other profile
[05:31] <mister_roboto> mikedoty: anything in the xorg log?
[05:31] <[Relic] > zach634: 1330  :)
[05:31] <lilywhiteman> so now my root is going to be partition 3, which is at the begninning of the disk. thats... odd
[05:31] <mister_roboto> mikedoty: or messages?
[05:31] <lilywhiteman> i take it linux wont be bothered by this too much?
[05:31] <tom47> not in the slightest
[05:31] <lilywhiteman> okay, lol. just names i guess
[05:32] <zach634> Relic:  ouch...   add 7 more to that list and it shall be awesome
[05:32] <mikedoty> Oh you know
[05:32] <lilywhiteman> okay i made a neat backup partition (yay)
[05:32] <mikedoty> Maybe it's because I have set 32bpp to default color depth and it doesn't like that
[05:32] <caveMan_> "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is the day they start
[05:32] <caveMan_> making vacuum-cleaners." :)
[05:32] <mister_roboto> mikedoty: /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[05:32] <mikedoty> I had just assumed it would work.  I'll check the logs to make sure though
[05:32] <tom47> heheheheh
[05:32] <sysdoc> caveMan_, lol
[05:32] <lilywhiteman> how fun
[05:32] <mister_roboto> mikedoty: and /var/log/messages
[05:32] <tom47> caveman if thw world didn't suck you would never keep your feet on the grund
[05:33] <zach634> grund
[05:33] <zach634> i like!
[05:33] <lilywhiteman> how come it wont let me copy files from one to the other? i dont have permissions :<
[05:33] <Maurox> caveMan_: bott manager dosnt sox :P
[05:33] <Maurox> boot**
[05:33] <blinky> hey guys
[05:34] <zach634> lilywhiteman: when in doubt, sudo and chmod
[05:34] <lilywhiteman> how can i sudo so that i can drag them over graphically? any way?
[05:34] <Flannel> zach634, lilywhiteman, no.  chmod is the best way to screw up your system. (well, second to chown)
[05:34] <lilywhiteman> id like to use this gui since its up
[05:34] <Flannel> lilywhiteman: gksudo nautilus, just be careful.
[05:34] <blinky> my friend helped me set up beryl the other day, but he made my session aiglx, how can i change it back to glx? I get lots of bugs and etc in aiglx and apparently this fixed it for him
[05:34] <tom47> very very careful
[05:35] <lilywhiteman> gksudo nautilus? that gives me full access?
[05:35] <zach634> aww, i like chmod
[05:35] <zach634> it solves all my problems!
[05:35] <Flannel> zach634: go ahead and break your system, don't break other peoples.
[05:35] <Flannel> lilywhiteman: yes
[05:35] <zach634> bah
[05:35] <lilywhiteman> okay. I can see how that might be dangerous
[05:35] <lilywhiteman> but ill only use it to copy files. how do i turn it off when im done
[05:35] <blinky> xgl not glx**
[05:35] <Flannel> lilywhiteman: just close the nautilus window
[05:36] <mikedoty> Ok, yeah, it's definitely the 32bpp attempt, it just fails.  Back to 16, it's ok.  I'll have to check those logs for fun though
[05:37] <lilywhiteman> it says "volume monitering will not work" :(
[05:37] <hikenboot> anyone know how wine developement is going ...does it support most apps now? or crossover?
[05:38] <lilywhiteman> (nautilus:17375): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Failed to open session DBUS connection: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
[05:38] <lilywhiteman> Volume monitoring will not work.
[05:39] <Shaezsche> why do so many programs in ubuntu keep a file history in their menus?
[05:39] <tom47> lilywhiteman what i do usually is to create a folder/directory in the new partition and then change the ownership of that so i can readily copy stuff to it
[05:39] <Shaezsche> and there are no options not to?
[05:40] <lilywhiteman> okay... how shall i go about this
[05:40] <lilywhiteman> do i need to mess with it in the terminal?
[05:40] <tom47> sudo mkdir /media/thepartitionconcerned/mydata
[05:41] <Linuturk> I'm trying to mount my external drive as read and write. it is a fat32 drive. When I plug it straight in, it mounts, and I can usually read and write files, but there is a .trash directory on there I a) can't delete and b) can't stop it from making. I need help
[05:41] <tom47> suduo chown myusername /media/thepartitionconcerned/mydata
[05:41] <edgy__> Hi, If I $set -o noclobber how can I unset this variable again?
[05:42] <lilywhiteman> but what should i put under 'myusername' when im using live cd?
[05:42] <[Relic] > how do I get the list of what is currently installed?
[05:42] <edgy__> [Relic] : dpkg -l
[05:42] <Shaezsche> how do i clear the history in the default image viewer?????
[05:42] <Flannel> lilywhiteman: don't.  You'll screw up your system.
[05:42] <Flannel> tom47: please, stop recommending chown
[05:42] <lilywhiteman> oy....
[05:42] <cdavis> When I do a mysql command line query with -e, is there a way to tell mysql to NOT report back the column names?
[05:42] <tom47> Flannel oh?
[05:43] <Flannel> lilywhiteman: gksudo nautilus will work, or sudo mv/sudo cp, or whatnot.
[05:43] <AsheD> ok, why does my computer 'launch HTTP Cache Cleaner' every 15 minutes?
[05:43] <Flannel> tom47: oh, you're doing a new folder.  nevermind.
[05:44] <[Relic] > if something is installed and you try to apt-get it will it ignore the attempt?
[05:44] <lilywhiteman> oh! it worked, nm
[05:44] <Flannel> RetiredComet: how is it installed?
[05:44] <bimberi> [Relic] : if the version is up to date yes
[05:44] <lilywhiteman> ohhh i like this gksudo
[05:44] <tom47> Flannel phew i'm glad that was ok coz i use it a fair bit
[05:44] <Shaezsche> what is the default image viewer in ubuntu?
[05:44] <lilywhiteman> i can see how it can be deadly ho
[05:44] <[Relic] > back later got a ton to install  :)
[05:44] <bimberi> Shaezsche: gthumb
[05:45] <Shaezsche> biberi how do i dlete the history menu?
[05:45] <lilywhiteman> so, this should finally work
[05:45] <bimberi> Shaezsche: idk sorry.  perhaps it stored within ~/.gthumb or something
[05:46] <Shaezsche> its not gthumb
[05:46] <Shaezsche> its EYE of GNOME
[05:46] <bimberi> Shaezsche: yes it is too, apologies
[05:47] <Shaezsche> bimberi its ridiculus i cannot get rid of the history
[05:47] <bimberi> Shaezsche: just keep a set of 4 non-controversial images handy ;)
[05:48] <boozey> what ftp server can i use for ubuntu that i just install and it reads by linux users accounts and gives each linux user ftp access to there home folder?
[05:48] <Shaezsche> bimberi thats not good enough, this is enough to make me switch back to windows
[05:49] <Flannel> Shaezsche: Which history menu?
[05:50] <bimberi> Eye of Gnome's
[05:50] <lilywhiteman> You know whats an awesome linux game? Armagettron ^o^ I wuv it.
[05:50] <Flannel> what is Eye of Gnome?
[05:50] <roycebarber> ~~~ Super Complex Question: Ubuntu or Fedora? Let the Battle Begin!!!!!!!!! ~~~
[05:50] <lilywhiteman> *waiting for copying files and is board*
[05:50] <lilywhiteman> ubuntu
[05:51] <bimberi> Flannel: default Ubuntu image viewer
[05:51] <hFTW> hi, i got my /boot removed, what are my options?
[05:51] <bimberi> !offtopic | roycebarber
[05:51] <ubotu> roycebarber: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[05:51] <lilywhiteman> as in your root?
[05:51] <hFTW> yea
[05:51] <lilywhiteman> well you probably didnt lose data then, just the files for the program
[05:52] <hFTW> ok thats good
[05:52] <lilywhiteman> i would simply reinstall to that partition
[05:52] <Gorlith> i dont think i got a responce before, has anyone gotten tv/video out to work with an ati card?
[05:52] <hFTW> and would that save my data lilywhiteman
[05:52] <verma> is there a way to reset my KDE wallet password?
[05:52] <lilywhiteman> The guys here told me its a good idea to backup just in case, but i dont think there's much risk if your data's on its own partition
[05:52] <Flannel> verma: probably.  ask in #kubuntu
[05:53] <lilywhiteman> however, if you just have one big partition... i dunno, what do you think guys?
[05:53] <Falcongrinder> ahh, help
[05:53] <Flannel> hFTW: reinstall, you'll mount, but not reformat your home partition
[05:53] <verma> Flannel: I did :) .. people aren't paying attention
[05:53] <acan> hoola tengo un problen  con xgl  mis bordes de pantalla saltan
[05:53] <lilywhiteman> right, just dont auto-install it, that auto-erasses
[05:53] <hFTW> Flannel, sorry i'm a begginer
[05:53] <hFTW> not sure how
[05:53] <Halpo> what mpeg decoder does the movie player use? as per XviD decoding?
[05:54] <lilywhiteman> Im with you hFTW, only linuxed for 2 weeks now
[05:54] <hFTW> cool lilywhiteman
[05:54] <Gorlith> also i have 2 partitions, one with /root etc... and one with /home in it. my hd is 80gb, how big should the /root partition be, and if i resize it will i lose settings and programs?
[05:54] <Falcongrinder> i added the flash 7 player to firefox and now when I try to start up firefox it doesnt
[05:54] <RetiredComet> (09:44:31 PM) Flannel: RetiredComet: how is it installed? .. the modem?
[05:54] <hFTW> ok, so my setup is a 30g windows, and 30g linux, i havent rebooted YET
[05:54] <Syco54645> did dapper get rid of the install cd and live cd as a different thing?  are they one cd now?
[05:54] <Halpo> Syco54645: yes
[05:54] <lilywhiteman> right now im reinstalling. Im having issues with it because o fmy setup, so im redoing all partitions except the one with my data
[05:55] <Flannel> RetiredComet: er... mustve been a bad nickcomplete.
[05:55] <lilywhiteman> but now i think it wasnt installing because i didnt unmount the drives first c.c
[05:55] <Madpilot> bimberi, Flannel - EoG is the old viewer - from Breezy - I thought Dapper  & Edgy used gThumb?
[05:55] <RetiredComet> Flannel: lol ..  The alternate is a text-mode installer but only available as an ISO
[05:56] <hFTW> rm /boot is all that happened
[05:56] <bimberi> Madpilot: seems to be EoG here (Dapper)
[05:56] <Falcongrinder> anyone have problems with macromedia flash 7?
[05:56] <lilywhiteman> that cant be good hftw o.o
[05:56] <Linuturk> any of you drive experts want to try your hands at this? http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1755579#post1755579 << last post by me
[05:57] <bunnu> ne one knows how to install tftp server on ubunt
[05:57] <Madpilot> bimberi, odd - but then, I'd switched to gThumb back in Hoary, so no longer have a default system
[05:57] <Halpo> Syco54645: he is probably just loading the cd in, thinking it is installing the OS, then when he reboots it unloads the live part, so he thinks it deletes the installed OS that he never really installed
[05:57] <Syco54645> bimberi: well he is confused by mountpoints, and i cant exactly go over there and fix it for him
[05:57] <Flannel> hFTW: just /boot?  hmm.  you... first off, shouldn't have been runnign as root ;)  second... hmm.  You might try removing the kernel, reinstalling, then reinstalling grub.  You might be able to salvage that way.
[05:57] <Syco54645> Halpo: that is what i said, but he is arguing with me that it did install.  i asked him if it took more than 10 minutes to install and he says he has a really fast computer
[05:57] <lilywhiteman> lol
[05:58] <hFTW> Flannel, can i use some1 else's boot folder
[05:58] <Linuturk> Falcongrinder, I had a good amount of problems with flash 7, but flash 9 beta is out, and it worked beautifully on Dapper and Edgy for me
[05:58] <Falcongrinder> can anyone lend a quick hand?
[05:58] <tom47> hFTW if you have unbacked up data in /home back it up now before anything is what i would be doing
[05:58] <tonyyarusso> If there's anybody with Flash 9 installed, I'm looking for a volunteer to try a site that won't work for me with 7 and let me know what it says if it works on 9.
[05:58] <Linuturk> tonyyarusso, shoot, I got 9

[05:58] <Flannel> hFTW: I'm not really sure how that all works.  Just don't turn off your computer, once you do, you won't be able to boot.
[05:58] <Halpo> speaking of bootloaders...I haven't seen your whole conversation, but how do you edit GRUBs menu?

[05:58] <Falcongrinder> liniturk, did firefox not load
[05:59] <Madpilot> Falcongrinder, Flash 7 has a number of known bugs on Linux
[05:59] <Flannel> rredd4: yeah, it'll prompt you for username and password.  Unless your ssh program uses your current uesrname, in which case you'll need to give it an option, if you have a different one there.
[05:59] <Rug> Howdy all, I have just upgraded to Edgy, and now most of my KDE apps crash (amarok,krusader, konqueror).  I have tried to install kubuntu-desktop, but that gives me an error stating that the package is broken (xorg needs to be installed but it won't).  Suggestions (other then a nuke + reinstall?
[05:59] <lilywhiteman> lol my history professor wants me to burn him ubuntu so he can try it
[05:59] <Rug> lilywhiteman: gotta love brownie points!
[05:59] <Linuturk> Falcongrinder, do what?
[05:59] <Syco54645> is there an install guide for ubuntu dapper that i can point him to?
[05:59] <ludovicus> hey all, i'm having issues with firefox... any body have a clue on how to fix firefox.. i'm using opera now
[05:59] <tonyyarusso> lilywhiteman: I set up one of the stands from the DIYMarketing wiki page in the physics building.  Might give that a shot
[06:00] <Falcongrinder> so if I uninstall flash 7 I should be able to load firefox??
[06:00] <lilywhiteman> cool :)
[06:00] <rredd4> Flannel  how do i know if my ssh my current username?
[06:00] <lilywhiteman> i get so many people who are like "its free? how is it free? how do they make money?"
[06:00] <rredd4> Flannel how can i check that ssh is installed?
[06:00] <lilywhiteman> and even "i thought windows came with pcs already"
[06:00] <Linuturk> Falcongrinder, well, if flash7 is crashing it, possibly. but you might have deeper issues
[06:00] <tonyyarusso> lilywhiteman: I have an explanatory page as well that you can set beside it.
[06:00] <Falcongrinder> i even tried reinstalling firefox through synaptic
[06:00] <Rug> tonyyarusso: it works for me
[06:00] <rredd4> Flannel synaptic?
[06:00] <Linuturk> tonyyarusso, it is taking a while to load on my slow connection
[06:01] <lilywhiteman> a huh? :)
[06:01] <Flannel> rredd4: what?  ssh ins't installed by default, you'll need to sudo apt-get install ssh to install the server
[06:01] <UKMatt> I'm trying to connect a digital camera to Ubuntu to transfer pictures, it worked before a reformat but hasn't since, can anyone think of a package that I may be missing and need installed for it to recognize?
[06:01] <Flannel> rredd4: or synaptic, sure.
[06:01] <rredd4> ok
[06:01] <tonyyarusso> Rug: Want to pm me the numbers?
[06:02] <Linuturk> heh, my camera is awesome with ubuntu. it puts it on an sd card, and my laptop has an sd reader built in that is plug and play ;p
[06:02] <Flannel> rredd4: ssh uses your normal user account login info.  So, like if you had a "tom" account on your server, and you were "bill" on your client computer, some ssh clients will assume you want to log in as "bill", you may need to override that

[06:03] <lilywhiteman> sweet thanks
[06:03] <Flannel> Acu: probably a Palm format
[06:04] <ludovicus> so the present recommendation to fix firefox is to remove and rienstall?
[06:04] <hFTW> ludovicus, get swiftfox
[06:05] <lilywhiteman> okay. Mission backup: accomplished @.@ now to install if i can. oy
[06:05] <Acu> Flannel: yes it might be a Palm format, but how the heck I can open it in linux?
[06:05] <Flannel> KDan: you mean like /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so?
[06:05] <UKMatt> any ideas on camera connecting?
[06:06] <caveMan_> what NTFS driver is regarded as safer, captive ntfs or ntfs-3g?
[06:06] <ludovicus> swiftfox...
[06:06] <Flannel> Acu: no idea, look for a linux palm book reader (although, there are a few palm formats)
[06:06] <KDan> Flannel: I want to use the CLI
[06:06] <KDan> for a cron job
[06:07] <KDan> have the LAMP set of packages installed (from the 6.06 server install)
[06:07] <Flannel> KDan: you need to install php5-cli then
[06:07] <matthew_w> HELP!  udev won't allow my ubuntu to boot, I get invalid sysfs and stuff
[06:07] <ludovicus> wha'ts the repository for swiftfox
[06:07] <KDan> aha
[06:07] <KDan> apt-get php5-cli?
[06:07] <KDan> er
[06:07] <KDan> apt-get install
[06:07] <Flannel> KDan: sudo apt-get install php5-cli
[06:08] <KDan> sweet. thanks :-)
[06:08] <tom47> Flannel ru sure you are ok with that earlier suggestion with a separate folder?
[06:08] <Flannel> tom47: yeah, I just saw you chmodding something that looked like it was the HD mounted from a liveCD, then later read your earlier posts
[06:09] <wheelswitch> how long should badblocks -n take on a 320 gig disk? roughly speaking.
[06:09] <tom47> ah good coz i was a bit ummmm intimidated lol
[06:09] <ludovicus> halo... i messaged uboto '/msg uboto swiftfox' and i got nothing
[06:09] <ludovicus> anybody know a repository?
[06:09] <tom47> Flannel cool now
[06:10] <Flannel> ludovicus: ubotu, but he doesn't know anyhting about swiftfox.  Swiftfox doesn't have a repository.
[06:10] <lilywhiteman> if i choose to mount the backup partition as /home/backup/ will that work?
[06:10] <lilywhiteman> or should i just leave it blank and use it manually
[06:10] <ludovicus> apt-cache search swiftfox gives me nothing
[06:10] <Flannel> ludovicus: that's because it's not in a repository.
[06:11] <ludovicus> so how do i get it
[06:11] <lilywhiteman> if i dont hcoose a mount point for a backup patrition, can i still access it via media/ ?
[06:11] <ludovicus> is there a *.deb package or source out there?
[06:12] <lilywhiteman> what say you Tom47 ol pal? XD
[06:12] <Flannel> lilywhiteman: you'll have to mount it later
[06:12] <lilywhiteman> ah okay. i guess if its backup i may as well do it that way
[06:12] <Flannel> lilywhiteman: that'll guarentee it's not touched during install

[06:30] <daylighter> do you know what I mean by "detatched menus"
[06:31] <KDan> ok, nevermind, got it.
[06:31] <cfedde> for some reason C can't include linux/string.h
[06:32] <cef> anyone using inkscape? I can't seem to get printing working (on dapper). Printer works and I can print through other apps as well as the test page.
[06:33] <Gorlith> i have a small question, im using gaims irc right now, is there a good standalone irc client?
[06:33] <cfedde> for some reason C can't include linux/string.h. included from /usr/include/asm-i386/io.h
[06:33] <caveMan_> is it possible to have eye of gnome cycle through the images in the directory with mouse wheel?

[06:38] <daylighter> Can anyone help me? my gnome is borked after I installed/uninstalled KDE
[06:38] <printk> daylighter: we need more details... what specifically is wrong?
[06:38] <daylighter> ok
[06:38] <daylighter> well, you know how KDE has the menu bars of apps in the upper left hand corner of the screen?
[06:39] <daylighter> now gnome is doing that, but they're transparent and appear underneath the panel I have at the top of the screen
[06:39] <printk> move the one on top temp... right click on those panels you don't want and select "Remove panel"
[06:39] <printk> then move the one back and you should be set
[06:40] <printk> or maybe it's "Delete this panel"
[06:40] <daylighter> but
[06:41] <daylighter> they arent gnome panels
[06:41] <cef> bah. figured it. Inkscape's default print setup was set to 'lp' instead of '| lp' (ie: pipe to lp)
[06:41] <daylighter> do you want a screenshot?
[06:41] <daylighter> it's really weird

[06:44] <pod> +
[06:45] <daylighter> printk, do you want to see a screenshot?
[06:45] <cge> printk, Err, I'm pretty sure you need to do grub-install /dev/<your_hdisk> --root-directory=/path/to/root, right?
[06:45] <cge> printk, Otherwise it won't be able to find /boot and install stage2
[06:45] <printk> daylighter: sure
[06:46] <printk> cge: oh hrm, i never have used that before heh

[06:46] <printk> oh wait i'm behind firewall, can't dcc
[06:46] <Born_In_Xixax> wireshark shows a huge number of TCP ZeroWindow keepalive packets going to an IP that I don't recognize (it's not a DNS server)
[06:47] <cge> printk, Oh, I see. You meant using the livecd to boot into your normal system. You only need the --root-directory if your /boot is actually somewhere else. For example, if you booted into the LiveCD and then mounted root at /mnt/target.
[06:47] <printk> cge: ohhhhh ..... yah i see now.  I usually use chroot.  I should have specified that tho :)
[06:47] <printk> --root-directory is probably alot easier
[06:48] <daylighter> no dcc?

[06:51] <eobanb> Born_In_Xixax, it's an ubuntu apt mirror.
[06:51] <Falcongrinder> alright. I've got a real odd problem.  Neither firefox nor galeon will load. any ideas?

[06:52] <Crankymonky> try from the CLI
[06:52] <Born_In_Xixax> yes thanks, must be the update manager trying to poll the apt archives
