[06:42] <piju> need help here, about atheros
[06:42] <xhhux> atheros
[06:42] <gcarrillo> billy: i would find out who the maintainer is for the project that produced your driver
[06:43] <xhhux> ?
[06:43] <billy> mm..
[06:43] <gcarrillo> billy: then check their bug logs and see if anybody else sees the same prob
[06:43] <billy> im looking thru synaptic to find something better
[06:44] <gcarrillo> billy: so the key is to know exactly what chipset your NIC is using
[06:44] <billy> yep
[06:44] <billy> bcm4311
[06:44] <gcarrillo> k, good
[06:44] <wols_> billy: lspci
[06:44] <Zoiks> hey, in deluge... is there anyway to save currently in process torrents, format the computer and get it to easily pick it back up again
[06:44] <billy> one sec
[06:45] <billy> just lspci by itself?
[06:45] <bazhang> Zoiks: likely no
[06:45] <gcarrillo> lspci | grep -i network
[06:45] <Zoiks> damn
[06:45] <gcarrillo> itll just tell you what you already know
[06:46] <Zoiks> so there is no way to get it to save torrents... because i didnt save them.. just opened them
[06:46] <billy> lmao yeah
[06:46] <gcarrillo> hehe
[06:46] <julle> i've been trying to mount my ext3 hdd, in fstab i wrote "/dev/sdb1 /media/hda4   ext3    defaults     0        2" it that wrong?

[06:47] <raoman> im having problem installing kubuntu 6.10. (currently my system has winXP and ubuntu feisty running) - can anyone help?
[06:48] <bazhang> billy: you used the ndiswrapper or the fwcutter method for that card
[06:48] <Frijolie> gcarrillo: i'm looking in gparted at my particular partitions and they don't have any mount points
[06:48] <billy> fwcutter
[06:48] <billy> bazhang
[06:48] <ere4si> julle: looks ok :)
[06:48] <billy> ndiswrapper didn't work at all
[06:48] <Frijolie> gcarillo: it says /sda2 (used to be my "/")  and /sda3 (used to be my /home the mount points are blank
[06:48] <Frijolie> er gcarrillo
[06:48] <Zoiks> bazhang: nah... I want to format my computer.. but I have torrents half way through
[06:49] <gcarrillo> Frijolie: hmm
[06:49] <ere4si> julle, does the /media.hda4 file exist?
[06:49] <billy> bazhang: can you help me out some?
[06:49] <ere4si> */media/hda4
[06:50] <bazhang> billy: well the latest updates killed my video, so I had to reinstall the drivers--sounds like you may have to fiddle with yours
[06:50] <TrustNoOne> how do you change your desktop text color for your icons and for screenlets with text on them?
[06:50] <billy> bazhang: im talkin about with the wireless
[06:50] <billy> bazhang: oh i get what ur sayin.. what should i do? i have no idea....
[06:50] <bazhang> billy yeah I see; the latest updates seem to have affected alot of different things; wifi, video etc
[06:51] <squarebracket> what's a good ftp server?
[06:51] <yaro> Hello, it is me again. I am actually representing a friend of mine with a support problem.
[06:51] <billy> which ones do i mess with?
[06:51] <gcarrillo> Frijolie: ive gotta go...but here's some suggestions:  google a little bit on data recovery, particulary for the filesystem type you're using (i.e. ext3 or whatever) and learn about fdisk, fsck by reading man pages
[06:51] <gcarrillo> you may figure out how to save the data
[06:52] <billy> bazhang: what could i possibly do? maybe blacklist a couple drivers?
[06:52] <gcarrillo> you're problem may be either a corrupted filesystem or a corrupted partition table
[06:52] <gcarrillo> s/you're/your
[06:52] <Frogzoo> gcarrillo: but in all likelihood, if fsck can't fix it, you're screwed
[06:52] <yaro> My friend just installed Ubuntu 7.10. Not just ten minutes ago, and though Ubuntu loads up, he is reporting that its not loading anything beyond the Ubuntu 'wait' icon, and I am assuming, the orange screen. Any ideas what his problem could be?
[06:53] <Frogzoo> yaro: boot in recovery mode, and see where it halts
[06:53] <Frijolie> gcarrillo: well thanks for helping me this far...
[06:53] <gcarrillo> Frogzoo: yup, in which case you learn to make backups more consistently ;)
[06:53] <TrustNoOne> how do you change your desktop text color for your icons and for screenlets with text on them?
[06:53] <piju> need help here, about atheros
[06:53] <piju> how to install atheros driver using ndiswrapper ?
[06:53] <gcarrillo> Frijolie: np, good luck ;)
[06:54] <yaro> piju: Go into the terminal: sudo ndiswrapper -i /full/path/to/atheros/plugin
[06:56] <piju> yaro; then ?
[06:57] <yaro> piju: That should be all of it, I think. I'm not totally familiar with ndis.
[06:57] <bazhang> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx billy you seen this?
[06:57] <piju> u are not familiar?
[06:58] <yaro> piju: I may have misread, I might be thinking of nspluginswrapper. Do forgive me if I am wrong.
[06:58] <billy> bazhang
[06:59] <yaro> Frogzoo: Strange thing. My friend can't seem to get into the GRUB menu when hitting ESC during the countdown.
[06:59] <billy> yeah ive seen that
[06:59] <TrustNoOne> how to get IPBlock to startup with the OS? i found autostart option but it doesnt seem to work, when i start IPblock manually it says disabled
[07:00] <justinmiller87> Hello. Can anyone help me with a server issue?
[07:00] <billy> !ask|justinmiller87
[07:00] <ubotu> justinmiller87: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[07:00] <justinmiller87> I'm attempting to access /var/www through FileZilla on a server I just setup. I am running proftpd, and created a shortcut to /var/www using ln -s. I can see the shortcut in FileZilla, but when I try to go into it I get Failed to retrieve directory listing.
[07:00] <_Oz_> Ubuntu friends, I'm stymied by something.
[07:01] <_Oz_> I want to watch realplayer videos.  I downloaded realplayer 10 for linux from real.com.  I get a .bin file.  How do I install that?
[07:01] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> _Oz_, ./xxx.bin
[07:02] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> xxx.bin = the file name
[07:02] <TrustNoOne> _Oz_, go into terminal, go into the directory of the bin file and type ./filename.bin (where filename is the name of the bin file)
[07:02] <justinmiller87> Oz, your best bet is to use the version in Feisty. I used this guide as a way to get all mulitmedia setup. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=661833
[07:02] <TrustNoOne> or do what TUXG said
[07:02] <Werdna> ew, real player
[07:02] <Dritzen> To use ./filename.bin , would you have to chmod +x the bin first?
[07:02] <Em3raldMcSquizzy> Potentially quick question:  I have 7.10 64-bit, AMD Phenom, ATI HD3850 vidcard, proprietary driver, and it's all good ... except flickering in movies and 3d gaming.  Where might I find solutions to the flickering?
[07:03] <_Oz_> trustnoone and [Hardy]TuTUXG, thanks.  however, here's the result: sudo: ./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin: command not found
[07:03] <XiXaQ> justinmiller87, did you remember to make sure Apache has read access to the files?
[07:03] <justinmiller87> I did a chmod 777
[07:03] <TrustNoOne> _Oz_, you shouldnt use sudo unless its necessary
[07:03] <ti12> Hello
[07:03] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> _Oz_, cd to that dir and i dont think u need sudo
[07:03] <yaro> _Oz_: You'll probably have to make sure the bin is executable. You can do that in BASH or right there in GNOME (Assuming this is regular Ubuntu, here.)
[07:04] <_Oz_> ah
[07:04] <justinmiller87> for the user who should have access and technically, since I enabled root, I should be able to access everything, but I can't get out of root's home folder.
[07:04] <Dritzen> _Oz_:   chmod +x RealPlayer10GOLD.bin ; ./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin
[07:04] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> _Oz_, and chmod a+x xxx.bin first
[07:04] <_Oz_> yes, I see.  Right-clicked, "allow t be executable"
[07:04] <ti12> where are at file sharing rooms?
[07:05] <_Oz_> thank you, yaro, Dritzen, [Hardy]TuTUXG, and TrustNoOne.
[07:05] <egc> \X/
[07:05] <ti12> anyone please tell me the file sharing rooms?
[07:05] <billy> how do i remove files from the /lib directory?
[07:05] <yaro> _Oz_: Let me give you a hint for future reference.
[07:05] <Dritzen> billy:  Why do you want to do that?
[07:05] <yaro> billy: Why would you wanna do that?
[07:06] <XiXaQ> justinmiller87, what matters, is who you're logged in as. For server questions, you have #ubuntu-server, btw. It's not so high-traffic.
[07:06] <ti12> im looking for X86 Mac. anyone know where to search for it?
[07:06] <Dritzen> That sounds like a harsh lesson, about to be learned the hard way :)
[07:06] <billy> because there's a bunch of files in there interfereing with my wireless card
[07:06] <justinmiller87> I know. I tried there first.
[07:06] <justinmiller87> Through PuTTY, I'm logged in as root and can access everything.
[07:06] <egc> rm -rf /lib
[07:06] <egc> j/k!
[07:06] <_Oz_> yaro: go ahead
[07:06] <billy> lmao.. i was about to do it egc
[07:06] <justinmiller87> Through FileZilla, I'm logged in as root and can't leave /root.
[07:06] <ti12> hello
[07:06] <Dritzen> Billy:  Are you sure?  Library files don't really cause issues unless you're dealing with the wrong version of the library, etc
[07:07] <egc> :D
[07:07] <ti12> hey
[07:07] <XiXaQ> ti12, hmm... You come to Ubuntu to ask where to steal another OS?
[07:07] <TrustNoOne> how do you change your desktop text color for your icons and for screenlets with text on them?
[07:07] <billy> they're update files.. and they werent there when my wireless was working, but now they're there and its not working
[07:07] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> lol
[07:07] <TrustNoOne> how to get IPBlock to startup with the OS? i found autostart option but it doesnt seem to work, when i start IPblock manually it says disabled
[07:07] <billy> they are all bcm43xx_...... files
[07:07] <yaro> _Oz_: When you're poking around your files for future refernce, and you wanna see if something is executable, type 'ls' and you'll see a color-coded listing of directory listings. Executable thingies are usually colored green.
[07:07] <ti12> im looking for  x86 Leopard, where should i look?
[07:07] <XiXaQ> ti12, www.apple.com
[07:07] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> lol
[07:08] <_Oz_> great tip, yaro
[07:08] <naxaa> hi..
[07:08] <billy> how do you delete files in /lib?
[07:08] <yaro> _Oz_: If you see that something that *should* be green isn't, it probably needs that chmod like you did there.
[07:08] <_Oz_> I've noticed that color-coding but didn't know what it meant
[07:08] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> ti12, cough "osx86 maybe" cough
[07:08] <ti12> Xixaq, any file sharing rooms?
[07:08] <egc> billy: use the package manager to uninstall stuff
[07:08] <billy> anyone?
[07:08] <billy> i don't know what packages theyre in tho...
[07:08] <justinmiller87> til2, go to Dalnet. We don't share here.
[07:09] <yaro> billy: I strongly recommend that you do a package removal through apt-get or Synaptic, and not go rming stuff from your /lib. Stuff breaks too easily that way.
[07:09] <zgrep> billy: dpkg -S /lib/<file>
[07:09] <student> Is there any way to see who's in a certain GROUP? (command+opt)
[07:09] <Ububegin> what kinda of folders are usually placed inside the /opt directory
[07:09] <XiXaQ> ti12, I don't know what a file sharing room is. There are lots of p2p software packages in Ubuntu. Nobody here will help you steal and crack proprietary software.
[07:10] <ka2> !piracy
[07:10] <ubotu> piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o
[07:10] <zgrep> Ububegin: the opt directory is empty by default
[07:10] <Dritzen> Ububegin:  Those are optional folders for things that are installed outside of usual means
[07:10] <egc> student: sudo vi /etc/group
[07:10] <student> egc, lol
[07:10] <Dritzen> ububegin:  you could put just about anything in there but sometimes programs will install into it if you install them manually
[07:10] <student> egc: thank you
[07:10] <billy> the package for all those files wasn't found.....
[07:11] <egc> np
[07:11] <soldats> student: "groups <user>" in terminal
[07:11] <Ububegin> Dritzen: cos i thought of installing all my software into it
[07:11] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Ububegin, some 3rd party apps will be installed into that dir
[07:11] <yaro> billy: Exactly what sort of thingsa re you removing that would interfere with your networking?
[07:11] <student> soldats, i want to know whos in the group. i could use id to see groups someone's in, thanks anyway
[07:11] <egc> yeah soldats' way is better
[07:11] <student> soldats, and that /etc/group is fine
[07:11] <billy> bcm43xx_initval*.fw
[07:11] <billy> theres like 20 of them
[07:11] <liquid1033> moin
[07:11] <squarebracket> what's the command to make a symbolic link?
[07:11] <billy> also microcode and something else yaro
[07:12] <liquid1033> ln -s
[07:12] <squarebracket> thanks :)
[07:12] <liquid1033> ln -s /path/to/file linkname
[07:12] <Dritzen> squarebracket:  ln -s /destination nameofsymlink
[07:12] <liquid1033> :)
[07:12] <Dritzen> doh, beaten
[07:12] <squarebracket> hehe
[07:13] <billy> and i cant open synaptic for some reason.. nothing else is runngin at all either
[07:13] <zgrep> billy try running it from a terminal
[07:13] <billy> how do you do that?
[07:13] <zgrep> billy: there might be some error you don't see in the UI
[07:13] <yaro> billy: Run it from a terminal and see what messages you recieve.
[07:13] <billy> run what?
[07:13] <billy> and how?
[07:13] <yaro> billy: gksudo synaptic
[07:13] <billy> k
[07:13] <zgrep> billy: you know how to open a terminal?
[07:14] <billy> error message : unable to get exclusive lock
[07:14] <billy> yes i know how to open a terminall..
[07:14] <zgrep> billy: sounds like it's open already
[07:14] <Dritzen> I have SUPER-T set to open the terminal, I wish Gnome would set that as a default keyboard shortcut
[07:14] <yaro> billy: Are you running the update manager or add/remove programs?
[07:14] <billy> nope
[07:15] <yaro> billy: type killall synaptic
[07:15] <Dritzen> I wonder if   ps aux | grep apt-get    would show if it's running
[07:15] <billy> no process killed...
[07:15] <up_the_irons> how do i get NetworkManager to add a couple domains to the "search" line of /etc/resolv.conf ? (i'm using gutsy)
[07:15] <bazhang> probably doing a update search in the background try again in a few
[07:15] <zgrep> billy: killall dpkg
[07:15] <zgrep> billy: killall apt-get
[07:16] <up_the_irons> 0
[07:16] <up_the_irons> 0
[07:16] <up_the_irons> 0
[07:16] <up_the_irons> 0
[07:16] <up_the_irons> 2
[07:16] <FloodBot2> up_the_irons: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:16] <up_the_irons> 0
[07:16] <bazhang> up_the_irons: stop please
[07:16] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> lol
[07:16] <billy> nothing was killed zgrep,
[07:16] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> that was quick reaction
[07:16] <up_the_irons> sorry, slipped
[07:16] <billy> how can i uninstall the updates?
[07:16] <billy> thats whats causing all these troubles...
[07:17] <Dritzen> There's a copy of previous versions of programs in /var/cache somewhere, isn't there?  I'm going to take a look, it's been a while
[07:17] <bazhang> billy this is gutsy?
[07:17] <billy> yep
[07:17] <billy> and its bein completely retarded...
[07:17] <Dritzen> The directory /var/cache/apt/archives  keeps a copy of previously installed deb files
[07:17] <Frogzoo> Dritzen: it's a cache only, but /var/cache/apt/
[07:18] <bazhang> billy in the terminal type ifconfig
[07:18] <Dritzen> It's an option for installing a previous version if that's what he needs, just throwing the idea out there
[07:18] <billy> k.. let it reboot.. i restarted it just in case..
[07:18] <yaro> billy: That might clear out whatever was blockign Synaptic
[07:18] <billy> ill be back in a few.. this whole stuff is stressin me i need a stogie
[07:21] <MeRLiNX420> I'm haveing problems with a D-Link WUA-1340 USB adaptor can anyone help me?
[07:21] <Dritzen> Just a quick question but does anyone have a suggestion for my X config file to force 60hz at all resolutions?  Ubuntu is picking odd ones for some reason, like 58hz for 1024x768 and 57 for 1280x800
[07:21] <ti12> can someone come chat one on one to teach me about irc filesharing
[07:22] <rara_jelek_> gueeeeee
[07:22] <bazhang> ti12: not here
[07:22] <yaro> ti12: You're going to have to ask somewhere else.
[07:22] <ti12> where
[07:22] <ti12> ??
[07:22] <yaro> ti12: Don't know. Not the place to ask.
[07:22] <bazhang> !ot | ti12
[07:22] <ubotu> ti12: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[07:22] <liquid1033> got anyone cpufreqd with an asus p5n32-e sli plus and intel dual core e6750 running?
[07:22] <ti12> ok, i got yah
[07:22] <ti12> ;)
[07:23] <ArthurArchnix> Well, I was playing around with my icons themes, and I changed theme.index of the currently in use icon theme, at which point x crash, and wouldn't restart. Rescue mode didn't work. reconfiguring xorg didn't work. In short, it was borked.
[07:23] <ti12> ubuntu rocks.  but im a noob. any good books that will teach me or websites?
[07:23] <bazhang> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg Dritzen you might do it with this though not sure how safe that is
[07:24] <Dritzen> ti12: A ton of sites, what are you interested in?
[07:24] <billy> k back
[07:24] <yaro> ArthurArchnix: Try deleting your .gconf ad .cgonf2 files.
[07:24] <bazhang> !training | ti12
[07:24] <ubotu> ti12: A desktop course manual for Ubuntu 7.10 can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Training
[07:24] <billy> does synaptic log what packages you installed when you installed them?
[07:24]  * yaro is very good at typing tonight.
[07:24] <haymaker> ok, i screwed up my account, and so i created another and deleted mine, moved my home directory somewhere else, and tried to recreate it, but it doesn't get created
[07:24] <yaro> billy: Yes.
[07:24] <ti12> Dritzen, i wish to VB XP, but i cant install the Video card driver
[07:24] <billy> ill just uninstall all the updates =)
[07:24] <bazhang> billy not a wise choice
[07:25] <ere4si> TrustNoOne, found a howto for changing icon text color - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=89197
[07:25] <Dritzen> You want to what?
[07:25] <yaro> billy: You'd be uninstalling entire packages, not just updates.
[07:25] <TrustNoOne> ere4si, thx
[07:25] <ere4si> k
[07:25] <billy> then what should i do?
[07:25] <justinmiller87> Got it figured out. I had my ln -s backwards.
[07:25] <ArthurArchnix> That was last night. I'm reinstalling now. My question is, I've got some free space on another partition, once I get it installed and updated, how do I do a complete copy (image) of my ubuntu partition to the spare partition? (That's a good idea yaro, but unfortunately, I'm already 15 minutes into the reinstall. I knew it would take me 3 hours to reinstall update and get everything back the way I wanted, I didn't know how lo
[07:25] <bazhang> billy open the terminal and type ifconfig
[07:25] <genbuntu> Hi, How do i return back to normal state after issuing 'sudo -i' ?
[07:25] <ti12> I want to install XP pro on virtualbox, but i cant install the Video card
[07:26] <billy> k
[07:26] <billy> done
[07:26] <bazhang> ti12 no need for that
[07:26] <Dritzen> Ah, I'd just go on ubuntuforums.org and search around for virtualbox , I haven't used it personally
[07:26] <haymaker> how can i manually create an account on my machine without using this thing from system>administration?
[07:26] <billy> bazhang: now what?
[07:26] <ti12> no?
[07:26] <Dritzen> Virtualbox won't run things in 3D anyway, right?
[07:26] <bazhang> ti12 nay; no dx10 in vbox
[07:26] <zgrep> ArthurArchnix: Ist the free partition at least the size of the original one?
[07:27] <billy> bazhang: how can i undo all the updates?
[07:27] <bazhang> billy does that show the listing for your wireless card? something like wlan0
[07:27] <ti12> i actually heard of a few projects that is supposed to run Direct3d, but i dont know how to install
[07:27] <Dritzen> genbuntu:  type exit
[07:27] <billy> yeah
[07:27] <bazhang> billy then type iwconfig
[07:27] <genbuntu> Ah! thanks Dritzen
[07:28] <Dritzen> ti12:  If you're just looking to run games, you could try out Wine
[07:28] <billy> bazhang: no wireless extensions on lo and eth0, there's nothing else
[07:28] <yaro> ti12: I suggest Googling for that. I don't think what you are asking is in the scope of the channel.
[07:28] <bazhang> billy try sudo ifup wlan0
[07:28] <billy> says ignoring uknown interface
[07:28] <billy> now what?
[07:29] <yaro> billy: Sounds like amissing driver?
[07:29] <yaro> a missing*
[07:29] <billy> the driver is there tho.. something is interfering with it..
[07:29] <fraroco> HELLO. I have a NetMD player How do I use it in ubuntu?
[07:29] <bazhang> billy you may have to go through the steps you originally did to get that card going from the link I gave you
[07:29] <ti12> ok, please pardon my ignorance, im really new to all this!!!

[07:29] <billy> bazhang?
[07:29] <bazhang> !wine | ti12
[07:29] <ubotu> ti12: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.
[07:30] <billy> bazhang: i did everything i did before to get the card going and its still not working..
[07:30] <ti12> But what happens when wine tells me its missing a dll file?
[07:31] <xTheGoat121x> I've got an odd situation with my sound.  I have most sounds (Pidgin, system sounds) but when I go to play music or a game, I'm informed that there's no sound device available.
[07:31] <TrustNoOne> ere4si, thx for the link, it changed my text color for my icons but i have some screenlets that have white text and i cant seem to change those either... is that a screenlet feature?
[07:32] <ere4si> TrustNoOne, Can't you right click to config a screenlet?
[07:32] <ghost> anyone want to help me build Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup?
[07:32] <TrustNoOne> ere4si, yes but i dont see a color option for the txt
[07:33] <ere4si> TrustNoOne, I don't use screenlets - but I'll have a quick search :)
[07:33] <puff> ghost: Wtf?
[07:33] <bazhang> billy you might also try uninstalling those drivers and reinstalling them; no broadcom card here or I could walk you through it
[07:33] <ghost> puff
[07:33] <genbuntu> My pc (on lan) starts having 'high ping' whenever another pc starts using the wireless connection (everything on home network). Does anyone know whats going on?
[07:33] <ghost> why wtf?
[07:33] <TrustNoOne> ere4si, thx, its the WaterMark v0.27 screenlet by Mathieu Villegas
[07:33] <bazhang> ghost not really the channel for that
[07:33] <billy> i just did that and its still not working... bahhh
[07:34] <TrustNoOne> ere4si, in options for the screenlet there is place to change font but i dont see one for color
[07:34] <ghost> what is
[07:34] <bazhang> ti12 what game
[07:34] <ghost> this is a question about build errors in ubuntu
[07:34] <ti12> Ages of Empire 3
[07:34] <yaro> ghost: What are your build errors?
[07:35] <bazhang> ghost try #ubuntu-offtopic or explain yourself more clearly
[07:35] <billy> how can i delete files in the lib/firmware directory?
[07:35] <ArthurArchnix> zgrep, yup
[07:35] <billy> ill just reinstall ubuntu if it crashes
[07:35] <Dritzen> ti2:  http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=2441
[07:35] <bazhang> ti12 this is the legitimate game? if it is not, then that would be the source of your problem most likely
[07:35] <Dritzen> ti2:  http://appdb.winehq.org  is a database of games/applications that you can run in Wine.  it shows whether they will work and if they do work, what steps you need to take
[07:36] <ghost> ok, I am having build errors trying to build a piece of software. I am redownloading source right now, I will pastebin the output of make
[07:36] <zgrep> ArthurArchnix: I'm ususally runnit it like that : dd if=/dev/<sourcePartition> of=/dev/<targetPartition bs=8192
[07:36] <icesword> ghost, what are you working on?
[07:36] <zgrep> ArthurArchnix: this will make a 1:1 image... you can then directly mount it.
[07:37] <Dritzen> ti2:  I doubt Age of Empires 3 will run well in Wine, based on that page I linked to you
[07:37] <ghost> give me second I will post the output
[07:37] <ArthurArchnix> what are the bs=8192 options at the end zgrep?
[07:37] <ere4si> TrustNoOne, seems that is an option some screenlet makers put in and some don't - with a bit of messing around you should be able to add that in the file for it
[07:37] <zgrep> ArthurArchnix: 8K Blocksize.
[07:37] <bazhang> block size correct?
[07:37] <TrustNoOne> ere4si, ya so basically i have to create a theme for it
[07:37] <lunks> How to view all available wireless networks on a fresh ubuntu?
[07:37] <lunks> I don't know if wireless is working or not :>
[07:38] <bazhang> lunks via the nm-applet
[07:38] <billy> lunks: what kinda wireless card you got?
[07:38] <Asphaltkiller> hi @ll
[07:38] <ti12> yah.  is it possible to run Mac Leopard OS x 10.5.2 in virtualbox?
[07:38] <lunks> But I really don't want to wait untill I need it.
[07:38] <ArthurArchnix> zgrep: Ok, thanks. Can I also taz.bz the backup?
[07:38] <lunks> hmm bazhang: how?
[07:38] <bazhang> ti12 you have been warned about that before please take that elsewhere
[07:38] <ti12> oh, ok
[07:38] <ere4si> TrustNoOne, no - there is a source file you add a line to so the text color can be changed - if you have one that can have the color changed open the file and see how
[07:39] <ArthurArchnix> zgrep: Because I have a data partition and would like to keep a copy on there, that way, I've got two bootable systems and a clean backup I can unzip and copy back over.
[07:39] <zgrep> ArthurArchnix: sure.. you can for example dd if=/dev/<source> | gzip -c > myImage.gz
[07:39] <ere4si> TrustNoOne, it's like the config file for it
[07:39] <bazhang> lunks what card for wifi
[07:39] <Asphaltkiller> @ti12 vmware dosn´t support leopart at this moment ....
[07:39] <Patrick5> I'm trying to integrate ldap with NSS.  I'm able to enumerate LDAP accounts using "getent passwd" - but currently "finger" and "id" return no such user, and (as root) I can't su to them.  Any ideas ?
[07:39] <TrustNoOne> ere4si, oh its this watermark screenlet http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=71960&forumpage=4
[07:39] <lunks> billy, bazhang, its listed as bcm43xx
[07:39] <zgrep> ArthurArchnix: you won't need tar - it's a single file...
[07:39] <ghost> this is my make output where I believe the error starts
[07:39] <ghost> http://pastebin.com/d43c2fcbd
[07:39] <billy> lunks: ur screwed lol
[07:39] <zgrep> ArthurArchnix: Or did you mean tar all the files instead of the image...
[07:40] <TrustNoOne> ere4si, its just 1 screenlet but has many watermarks for it, i will take a look at the config and python script for it
[07:40] <lunks> haha tnx billy
[07:40] <billy> broadcom cards are satan to linux...
[07:40] <billy> im having so much trouble with mine
[07:40] <yaro> ghost: Looks like you need to install additional development libraries.
[07:40] <billy> lunks: i had it working fine, until i installed the updates.. duh duh duh.... lol
[07:40] <ArthurArchnix> zgrep: no no, you had it right. I want to compress an image so that it takes up less space on my data partiion.
[07:40] <beautifulsnow> Funny. everyone over at the windows channel is talking about linux for a while
[07:40] <zgrep> ArthurArchnix: that would be via mounting that partition somewhere and then cd <mountpoint>; tar cpzf <filenameOutsideOfMountpoint>
[07:40] <ghost> Thanks Yaro I will look into that
[07:40] <ere4si> TrustNoOne, that is how I get gdesklets how I want them - and screenlets work in a similar way
[07:40] <lunks> I'm planning on go to Hardy as it's 2.6.24 kernel and hope to work, billy
[07:40] <_Oz_> is there a way to make realplayer launch automatically when you click on a realplayer file in firefox?
[07:40] <bazhang> lunks have you just set up this box? never had wireless yet? you can /msg ubotu broadcom  this is the link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx
[07:40] <yaro> ghost: Try going into Synaptic and look for libpng-dev or something tlike the same.
[07:41] <billy> lunks: huh?
[07:41] <lunks> billy, 8.04 tls, new version of ubuntu
[07:41] <zgrep> ArthurArchnix: then use the dd with the gzip piped... if you have a quick machine: BZip2 has a better ratio but it's slower...
[07:41] <Dritzen> It's coming out in April
[07:41] <lunks> Coming on April. ;P
[07:41] <billy> lunks: does it have support for the bcm43xx?
[07:41] <lunks> I hope it has! x)
[07:41] <yaro> ghost: You're welcome.
[07:42] <zgrep> ArthurArchnix: I usually put a buffer in between to see the throughput: dd if=/dev/.... | buffer -S 1M | gzip -c > myarchive.img.gz
[07:42] <Dritzen> billy: It's got a newer kernel and a lot of new features, so it might
[07:42] <billy> lunks: me too.. im sick of this bcm stuff
[07:42] <yaro> billy: 2.6.24 kernel does have a larger support base for WAN.
[07:42] <ghost> i hate installing libs because there is always like several versions available
[07:42] <ArthurArchnix> zgrep I gotta right this down...yeah, it's a duo core,  but this one here: dd if=/dev/<source> | bzip2 -c > myImage.gz creates my image, but I don't see where it gets piped to?
[07:42] <ghost> i ususally just get the one that looks like its the latest
[07:42] <lunks> billy, as soon as I find a cd-rw i'll try it =)
[07:43] <billy> =)
[07:43] <yaro> ghost: That's normally good practice.
[07:43] <billy> definately
[07:43] <billy> but with the drama i've been going thru with ubuntu.... i might just reinstall XP.....
[07:43] <lunks> billy, what's the matter?
[07:43] <Dritzen> billy and lunks:  Hardy Heron Alpha 4 is out, you could try the live cd and see if it works for you
[07:43] <zgrep> ArthurArchnix: the pipe is the | ... that means dd reads the data from the disk and the data is then sent to the next program which is gzip... this passing on of information is what I refer to as piping
[07:43] <ghost> its saying that libpng-12-dev is a vertual package
[07:44] <billy> im really sick of the bcm43xx issues
[07:44] <ghost> that means I already have it installed basically correct?
[07:44] <lunks> Dritzen, I'm downloading daily build
[07:44] <Dritzen> lunks: you're adventurous :)  good luck
[07:44] <lunks> billy, do you hang around here often?
[07:44] <yaro> ghost: Not sure. Is the little box next to it filled in green?
[07:44] <bazhang> err its Hardy alpha 5 and this should be discussed in #ubuntu+1 ;]
[07:44] <billy> lunks: lately? every day lol
[07:44] <ghost> yaro I am using apt not synaptic
[07:44] <lunks> Dritzen, I just have plenty of time =)
[07:44] <lunks> billy, if it works, I'll let you know =)
[07:44] <ghost> but I would assume that means there is a package installed fulfilling that link
[07:45] <billy> thanks lunks
[07:45] <billy> if im not in here just drop me an email
[07:45] <billy><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[07:45] <ArthurArchnix> So it reads /dev/sda1 for example, sends it to gzip to create an archnive, but then leaves it on the partition that called the command? That's what I'm asking, could I add something like | mv myimage.gz /dev/sda3/backup
[07:45] <yaro> ghost: Okay, so just an easy way to see if its installed is to just sudo apt-get install libpng1.2-dev and see if it says anything about it "already being the latest version."
[07:45] <Dritzen> ArthurArchnix,  After the > filename  just put in >/dev/sda3/backup/filename instead
[07:46] <ArthurArchnix> zgrep ^ because I don't really have room for images on my ubuntu partitions. They're 3.5 GB each. My data is pretty big though. Ahh.. simplicity itself!
[07:46] <`mIRC`> hi..
[07:46] <Dritzen> hey mIRC
[07:46] <`mIRC`> i install 2 OS...1..is windows ... 2..is Ubuntu
[07:46] <ghost> thats what I did
[07:46] <zgrep> ArthurArchnix: do you want to store your image on the partition sda3?
[07:46] <ghost> and it said 'this is a virtual package that referes to some other package
[07:46] <ghost> i assume the other package is installed
[07:46] <`mIRC`> my prob. is it shows GRUB error
[07:46] <yaro> ghost: What was the package.
[07:46] <ghost> perhaps its not the correct version
[07:47] <billy> omg.. is there any way to reinstall ubuntu without wiping my files?
[07:47] <bazhang> `mIRC`: what error please be specific
[07:47] <`mIRC`> GRUB loaing stage1.5 read error
[07:47] <ghost> ge libpng12-0-dev is a virtual package provided by:
[07:47] <ghost>   libpng12-dev 1.2.15~beta5-2ubuntu0.1
[07:47] <ghost> You should explicitly select one to ins
[07:47] <`mIRC`> bazhang" GRUB loaing stage1.5 read error
[07:47] <bazhang> billy do you have a seperate /home?
[07:47] <`mIRC`> bazhang" GRUB loading stage1.5 read error
[07:47] <ghost> billy, copy your /home/ folder to somewhere
[07:47] <ghost> like an external hard drive
[07:47] <yaro> ghost: Try sudo apt-get install libpng12-dev 1.2.15~beta5-2ubuntu0.1
[07:47] <billy> i don't have an external hd
[07:48] <lunks> But how to know if wireless is working or not, anyway?
[07:48] <billy> lspci
[07:48] <lunks> I have installed that cutter stuff =P
[07:48] <billy> L, but lowercase
[07:48] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> !botsnack
[07:48] <lunks> It's listed
[07:48] <ubotu> Yum! Err, I mean, APT!
[07:48] <bazhang> lunks did you read the link I gave you?
[07:48] <billy> then it should be working
[07:48] <Dritzen> lunks: iwconfig works for listing wireless network card info too
[07:48] <lunks> bazhang, yeah
[07:48] <bazhang> lunks ifconfig then iwconfig
[07:48] <ArthurArchnix> Thanks Dritzen, and zgrep: Yeah. It's like this , I've got a somewhat complicated partitioning scheme, but I should be able to adapt those commands you gave. Except I would like to use bzip instead of gzip... is that all it is.. say bzip in place of gzip?
[07:48] <`mIRC`> ...can anybody help me??
[07:48] <`mIRC`> i got  GRUB loading stage1.5 read error
[07:48] <lunks> I just want to find some wi-fi nearby and check if it works
[07:49] <yaro> ghost: The other problem I might see could be with your #include statement, perhaps getting the file wrong. Like I program a lot with SDL, and to use it I have to #include "SDL/SDL.h"
[07:49] <bazhang> lunks to test it sudo dhclient wlan0/cardnamehere without ethernet attached of course
[07:49] <zgrep> ArthurArchnix: If there is a filesystem on your /dev/sda3 partition then I would advise you mount that somewhere and store the compressed image inside the fielsystem like mkdir /mnt/tmp; dd if=/dev/<source> | buffer -S 1M | gzip -c > /mnt/tmp/mycompressedImage.img.gz
[07:49] <lunks> If my notebook detects a network, will ubuntu warn me?
[07:49] <billy> i think im just gonna majorly shrink the XP partition on my comp and install ubuntu on another one..
[07:49] <piju_> anybody know how to install driver for atheros chipset on gutsy amd64 ?
[07:49] <billy> well im goin to bed guys
[07:49] <lunks> bazhang, it's because I don't have wireless around afaik
[07:49] <billy> g'night
[07:49] <yaro> 'mIRC: I suggest you launch your LiveCD
[07:49] <lunks> g'night =)
[07:49] <bazhang> cya
[07:50] <yaro> 'mIRC: From there, you can reinstall GRUB on your MBR which should clear up your errors.
[07:50] <bazhang> lunks well that would be the way to test it
[07:50] <lunks> Would Ubuntu warn me on wireless available?
[07:50] <ghost> says it can't find the package 1.2~
[07:50] <zgrep> ArthurArchnix: bzip in place of gzip will do .. but you should really try with the buffer to see how quick it is... you might wait very long if you use bzip2...
[07:50] <piju_> anybody know how to install driver for atheros chipset on gutsy amd64 ?
[07:50] <madsporkmurderer> I am trying to install ubuntu 7.10 (64bit edition) on my new machine but it hangs during the instalation process at the starting the partitioner stage; it gets to 50% (where it is apparently scanning disks) and just stops
[07:50] <bazhang> lunks you can look in the network manager applet
[07:50] <yaro> ghost: Try going into synaptic and searching for libpng.
[07:50] <finn_> how can I install ubuntu to an SD card that's in an USB reader?
[07:50] <finn_> I have an alternative cd with 7.04 on it
[07:50] <yaro> finn_: Check out Pen Driv eLinux.
[07:50] <bazhang> madsporkmurderer: what cpu how much ram
[07:51] <yaro> finn_: Google it.
[07:51] <`mIRC`> yaro, how to clear MBR ?
[07:51] <ghost> yaro yeah that might be easyers

[07:52] <yaro> ghost: Yes, usually Synaptic will take the guesswork out of a package install.
[07:52] <ghost> cool synaptic took care of it
[07:52] <`mIRC`> yaro, Thanks

[07:53] <TrustNoOne> I have my disc split in half, i have ubuntu on the second half of the disc, and the first half of the disc (is unpartitioned space) and i booted to livecd and tried to use gparted to make ubuntu take up the entire disc, but since its on the second half of the disc it wont take up the space on the beginning of the disc. how can i change the start and end blocks of my partition?

[07:54] <ghost> hey is there a command to have make do a simulation to find out all the other stuff i will need to install?
[07:54] <ghost> I know you can do it with emerge
[07:54] <piju_> bazhang; yes
[07:54] <ere4si> TrustNoOne, did you end up with a white background behind your icon text?
[07:54] <yaro> ghost: Not sure. I tend to just do a ./configure, and that will usually tell me what is missing.
[07:54] <ghost> ah
[07:54] <ghost> good call
[07:54] <TrustNoOne> ere4si, no it was black or whatever color i wanted it to be
[07:55] <ghost> that didn't work
[07:55] <bazhang> piju_: the full number please
[07:55] <ghost> guess this source package don't have that
[07:55] <TrustNoOne> ere4si, oh background behind the txt? there was no background color... the text was wahtever color i wanted it to be
[07:55] <yaro> ghost: You'll have to tough out make error to figure it out. You installed the new package?
[07:55] <maximada> everytime i try to add/remove a program it says the list of applications is not available even though its showing any ideas?
[07:56] <MoonDuck> Hey. Is there some nice GUI interface to work with cryptsetup? I created the container file with dd and all, but i want my users to be able to write and read data from it (and mount/unlock) nicely..
[07:56] <ere4si> TrustNoOne, I can get colored text but there is a whiteb/ground behind mine - no level of transparency works :(
[07:56] <ghost> yes and i make and it passed that point but ran into another missing lib it looks like
[07:56]  * bluefoxx is away: lost in jis thoughts...or my music and memories{ahh, the memories indeed}
[07:56] <ghost> so i wanted to find out if i could have it report everything its going to want
[07:56] <bazhang> maximada: what package? try apt-cache search packagename from the terminal
[07:56] <yaro> ghost: Gimme another pastebin, I'll keep helping you for the next few minutes. Should go to bed.
[07:56] <madsporkmurderer> Is there any way to skip the partitioner stage of installation as I have already formatted the disk anyway ( and I want ot leave it as 1 partition)
[07:56] <ghost> na its ok I think i can make it from here
[07:56] <TrustNoOne> ere4si, oh, it worked for me, i just used the sample script that he used and it worked fine
[07:56] <yaro> ghost: Very well.
[07:57] <ghost> any .h will equate to a missing lib i assume
[07:57] <ere4si> k
[07:57] <ghost> and for that matter i need to start writing a essay anyway
[07:57] <yaro> ghost: You'd be right.
[07:57] <TrustNoOne> ere4si, make sure alpha is 0 (zero) and frame_text i put as 1
[07:57] <yaro> ghost: The wierdest case I had was installing SDL_draw, had to sudo cp the .h manually after compiling the development libs because it neglected to put it there.
[07:57] <MDKSIGN> How do I get Wine?
[07:57] <yaro> ghost: Anyway, best of luck to you!
[07:58] <maximada> im new to ubuntu so what is the terminal?
[07:58] <yaro> MDKSIGN: sudo apt-get install wine
[07:58] <MDKSIGN> command line interface cli
[07:58] <TrustNoOne> maximada, terminal is command line interface sort of like msdos in windows
[07:58] <ghost> yaro yikes
[07:58] <ere4si> TrustNoOne, yep - it's like that - even swapped the order the lines in the file appear
[07:58] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> !terminal
[07:58] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[07:58] <ghost> this is why I love .deb
[07:58] <Patrick5> How can I disable the Gnome screensaver by default for all users using VNC sessions ?
[07:58] <yaro> maximada: Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal
[07:58] <maximada> how do i access it?
[07:58] <TrustNoOne> ere4si, i have no idea why it has a background color to the icons then unless its part of your theme package or the setting of another program
[07:59] <yaro> I go bed now. Good luck to all you Ubuntu-fanatics.
[07:59] <MDKSIGN> Does photoshop, illustrator etc work well on wine?
[07:59] <maximada> what exactly should i be typing in the terminal?
[07:59] <ere4si> TrustNoOne, there wasn't a b/ground there before... - reading more on it
[07:59] <bazhang> maximada alt f2 terminal
[07:59] <TrustNoOne> maximada, go to Applications > Accessories > Terminal, or you can press alt+F2 to bring up run application and type in terminal
[08:00] <TrustNoOne> ere4si, so if you delete the gtk file then the background goes away?
[08:00] <maximada> im there i just need to know what to type
[08:00] <ere4si> TrustNoOne, yep
[08:00] <maximada> i cant add/remove anything
[08:00] <bazhang> apt-cache search packagename maximada
[08:00] <MDKSIGN> Do the latest Adobe packages work fine in wine?
[08:00] <TrustNoOne> ere4si, how odd, i get no background color with that script
[08:00] <CarlFK> what is the apt command to search for a file name?  driver-test is what I am looking for
[08:00] <bazhang> MDKSIGN: cs3?
[08:00] <TrustNoOne> maximada, it is command line, you can do anything you want in terminal
[08:00] <MDKSIGN> bazhang: yeah
[08:01] <TrustNoOne> maximada, to add/remove programs go to Applications > Add/Remove
[08:01] <bazhang> MDKSIGN: you can check the wine appdb but I think it is no
[08:01] <ere4si> TrustNoOne, the alpha value being one says that the b/ground should be transparent...
[08:01] <zgrep> CarlFK: you mean you like to know what the package of a file on your system is?
[08:01] <MDKSIGN> bazhang: How do I do that?
[08:01] <TrustNoOne> ere4si, yeah it should... i havn't played with the transparency, i kept as the sample script the author used and i didnt get a b/g color
[08:02] <maximada> in add/remove i get an error when ticking a box
[08:02] <TrustNoOne> maximada, care to share the error?
[08:02] <zgrep> CarlFK: That would be dpkg -S <filename> then
[08:02] <CarlFK> zgrep: maybe :) - want to know if that file is in a package in any of the repos in my soruces.list (I have a bunch of debian-media stuff
[08:02] <maximada> it says the list of apps is unavailable
[08:02] <bazhang> http://appdb.winehq.org/ MDKSIGN
[08:03] <bazhang> maximada: do you have all the repositories enabled in synaptic package manager (the first four iirc)
[08:03] <TrustNoOne> maximada, in terminal do "sudo apt-get update" and then when you go back to add/remove, go into settings and make sure all the repositories are checked and reload
[08:03] <icesword> bazhang, can i use corel draw via wine on linux
[08:03] <zgrep> CarlFK: that command I gave about is only to check which of the installed packages contains the file...
[08:03] <bazhang> icesword: search their appdb

[09:38] <Micheru> hey, how would i get a command to run at startup? i know i have to create some sort of script, but thats it
[09:39] <simplexio> Micheru: /etc/rc.local
[09:39] <fx|RabBit> morning guys! i need someone to help me with a mdadm/raid5/lvm2 issue, please;
[09:39] <Micheru> simplexio: i think i tried that, it didn't work if i did :/
[09:40] <simplexio> Micheru: doublecheck that /etc/init.d/rc.local is run
[09:41] <fx|RabBit> i spanned a raid 5 with 3x 500G with mdadm, then i applied lvm2. after that i copied about 500G from a 4th disk and then i also added that disk to the raid volume, by mdadm --grow...
[09:41] <Micheru> simplexio: how would i do that?
[09:42] <fx|RabBit> after that the raid volume was reconstructed, took about 10 hours, worked just fine. but when i restartet the pc i had to manually mdadm --assemble /dev/md0, can someone tell me what went wrong pls?
[09:42] <simplexio> Micheru: not 100% sure but i think should be  in /etc/rcS.d in ubuntu
[09:42] <DaveEngland> hello there! can anybody tell me, how can i add a program, so that will start on startup ?
[09:43] <fx|RabBit> DaveEngland: either you add it do rc.S  or to gnome autostart
[09:43] <DaveEngland> fx|RabBit,  and how can i add it to gnome autostart?
[09:44] <Squawk> DaveEngland, what exactly is the program?
[09:44] <DaveEngland> Squawk,  Cairo-clock :D

[09:44] <skyion> e quiet a few users logging in via bash, for security reasons I would like to implement password history to prevent the user from setting the password to a password used before when it expires every 30 days
[09:44] <fx|RabBit> start gnome control center by typing gnome-control-center to your console
[09:44] <skyion> is there a way to do this is linux
[09:44] <fx|RabBit> then click on sessions

[09:45] <ArthurArchnix> Dear lord.. what is hapening... I just reinstalled. Then updated, then rebooted and it was a catastrophic failure. Didn't get past starting up. When I loaded a live cd and took at look at the disk, my fstab had been written over with gibberish, and my grub folder was missing.
[09:45] <Squawk> DaveEngland, have a look at "system/session". you can start desktop applications everytime by adding them there
[09:45] <ArthurArchnix> Is it possible a rootkit could do this kind of damage?
[09:45] <DaveEngland> Squawk,  ok tnx!
[09:46] <Squawk> ArthurArchnix, doubtful, more likely you just need to re-install grub
[09:46] <Kafke> hi zusammen
[09:46] <faileas> hmm
[09:46] <Squawk> skyion, there is, but I cant rememer (sorry not to be more useful)
[09:47] <Micheru> i remember for something else somone made an a scripty to put in init.d that was a python program though
[09:47] <Micheru> *made a script
[09:47] <skyion> thanks Squawk aslong as it is possible it means I can continue looking for it.

[09:50] <Cromag> mount ?
[09:51] <Squawk> ices, you can mount an iso on the hard disk using mount and the loop device
[09:51] <icesword> fx|RabBit, not really.that is "grub for dos"
[09:51] <fx|RabBit> in that case im sorry to say that i still dont get what you wanna do...?
[09:51] <Squawk> icesword, mount -o loop -t iso9660 filename.iso /mnt/iso
[09:52] <fx|RabBit> ah kk
[09:52] <novato_br> how can I restore the xorg configuration ?
[09:52] <Micheru> fx|RabBit: i think he want to install from an iso instead of burning it
[09:52] <icesword> you know that,use windows' boot.ini,add c:\grldr=grub for ubuntu"
[09:52] <novato_br> i don't remember how is the line command
[09:52] <Micheru> dunno though...
[09:52] <icesword> but really don't know how to write "menu.lst"
[09:53] <Squawk> icesword, why dont you follow the normal install, using a cd?
[09:53] <novato_br> icesword: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:53] <novato_br> i'm desesperated
[09:53] <novato_br> how can I restore the xorg configuration ?
[09:53] <novato_br> plz
[09:53] <novato_br> i'm on shell
[09:54] <novato_br> i cant view on google
[09:54] <fx|RabBit> novato_br: you mean to setup defaults?
[09:54] <Squawk> novato_br, do you have a backup of it?
[09:54] <icesword> Squawk, no,sorry,i want more technology
[09:54] <novato_br> yeah, fx|RabBit
[09:54] <novato_br> no, Squawk
[09:54] <novato_br> i've installed one new card
[09:54] <fx|RabBit> humm no backup no google...
[09:54] <novato_br> i need to restore the values
[09:54] <Squawk> you can google easy enough, use lynx
[09:55] <novato_br> i dont remember how is the line command
[09:55] <novato_br> i know that is easy
[09:55] <novato_br> dpkg-reconfigure xxxxxxx
[09:55] <novato_br> i don't remember
[09:55] <novato_br> help me
[09:55] <Squawk> novato_br, I have no clue how to restore a conf file to defaults im afraid
[09:55] <Squawk> man dpkg-reconfigure
[09:56] <novato_br> i hate the manual, Squawk
[09:56] <novato_br> that is so confuse
[09:56] <Squawk> novato_br, well if im gonna find the solution id have ot use it, and id rather you than me ;)
[09:56] <novato_br> that is for programmer
[09:56] <Squawk> novato_br, no its not, its for understanding the command
[09:56] <novato_br> humm, i will try again
[09:57] <fx|RabBit> novato_br: dpkg --reconfigure <appname> is for use when you changed a config and then want to apply the changes, but not to set to defaluts
[09:57] <icesword> Squawk, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows,can you give a hand to have a look at this
[09:58] <fx|RabBit> novato_br: hang tight buddy im googling a default conf for you that you can wget...
[09:58] <neeto> For some reason, my right and left arrow keys are mapped to muhenkan and henkan, which are part of the japanese keyboard layout. This is strange since my keyboard layout is set to "us" in xorg.conf, and I can see the big american flag on my toolbar, indicating that I do indeed have the us layout loaded.
[09:58] <Squawk> icesword, thats a stub, its not written yet. And I have no clue how to install from windows
[09:59] <novato_br> thx, fx|RabBit
[09:59] <novato_br> i will try
[09:59] <icesword> Squawk, ok,you know linux is just part by part,so if we give the right parts together ,linux will boot
[10:00] <Squawk> icesword, I know linux well enough, I have no clue about installing any flavour of linux from windows, and im leaving in 10 minutes so I dont have the time to figure it out
[10:00] <fx|RabBit> novato_br: found one with cyrillic fonts, want that? gg
[10:01] <icesword> Squawk, nope
[10:01] <Micheru> i make rc.local in /etc/init.d to run on startup, it doesnt appear to be doing this currently

[10:03] <Aghachi> ya
[10:03] <simplexio> Micheru: what command you try to run on startup
[10:03] <Aghachi> is it becuase my C: drive is external?
[10:03] <simplexio> Aghachi: usb?
[10:04] <Aghachi> yes
[10:04] <Micheru> well its a bit long to not copy and paste but basically i am startig x11vnc with several paramaters
[10:04] <Aghachi> i want to format my d and e drive and make it one partion
[10:04] <Micheru> and since i am on a differnt machine i casn't do that hehe
[10:04] <novato_br> i made a mess up, here

[10:04] <Aghachi> i duno how my usb became the c drive lol
[10:04] <novato_br> my linux blow up
[10:04] <novato_br> i will cry
[10:05] <novato_br> i  made: "dpkg-reconfigure -a xorg"
[10:05] <novato_br> it is wrong
[10:05] <Micheru> Aghachi: haha i got that to my wd external is c its stipid

[10:06] <simplexio> Micheru: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/x11vnc
[10:07] <simplexio> Micheru: that one uses little different way to start x11vnc
[10:07] <Squawk> novato_br, is dpkg-reconfigure even a command. Isnt it dpkg --reconfigure?
[10:07] <Aghachi> lol so what do i do

[10:07] <Squawk> novato_br, I cant check cos im booted into gentoo atm
[10:07] <Piet44> someone knows sources for sources.list for install postgresql-server >?
[10:07] <novato_br> hum, Squawk
[10:08] <novato_br> here now i'm reconfigurating all the system
[10:08] <fx|RabBit> novar
[10:08] <fx|RabBit> novato_br: wait a sec man XD
[10:08] <Aghachi> is it doing nothing at teh menu cuz my c is ecternal.. do i have to get a experimental ver or somthing?
[10:09] <Micheru> simplexio: well, i have no idea how i would insert it into that gibberish (to me anyway) :)
[10:09] <novato_br> okay, fx|RabBit
[10:10] <Squawk> novato_br, understand what you are doing before you type commands...
[10:10] <novato_br> nothing
[10:10] <simplexio> Micheru: yeah. it looks like that, but that says that you need insert that line into Xsession file, not rc.local
[10:11] <novato_br> i've typed dpkg-reconfigure -a xorg
[10:11] <novato_br> now it's reconfigurating all the system
[10:11] <Aghachi> when i load the cd in windows it shows splash screen then nothing
[10:11] <Aghachi> is the cd cupoted or somthing/.
[10:11] <fx|RabBit> gosh....
[10:12] <novato_br> i don't have any idea of what i'm doing
[10:12] <Micheru> simplexio: hmm but where, i havn't messed with this before, no idea what i am doing hehe
[10:12] <fx|RabBit> novato_br: wget this file and unnzip it, you ought to find a default conf in there: ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/xorg/current/src/xserver/xorg-server-X11R7.2-1.2.0.tar.gz
[10:12] <novato_br> i didnt see befor
[10:12] <flowOver> Aghachi: you can boot your system on the cd
[10:12] <flowOver> do that
[10:13] <novato_br> thx, fx|RabBit
[10:13] <fx|RabBit> np m8:)
[10:13] <Aghachi> flow u mean isntall it on the cd
[10:16] <Micheru> the thing is when i manually run /etc/init.d/rc.local start it works fine, but it doesn't appear to be running at startup
[10:16] <fx|RabBit> novato_br:  maybe this could also be what you have been looking for: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

[10:18] <MDKSIGN> Is it better to have VirtualBox with windows in to run windows apps or Wine?
[10:19] <fx|RabBit> i spanned a raid 5 with 3x 500G with mdadm, then i applied lvm2. after that i copied about 500G from a 4th disk and then i also added that disk to the raid volume, by mdadm --grow...
[10:19] <fx|RabBit> after that the raid volume was reconstructed, took about 10 hours, worked just fine. but when i restartet the pc i had to manually mdadm --assemble /dev/md0, can someone tell me what went wrong pls?
[10:20] <luckyshot> hey guys i was just playing around with some grub settings basically i have windows on my internal hard drive and xubuntu on an sd card so, what i was trying to do is when the sd card is not inserted it will automatically load into windows with out a grub menu but whent he sd card is loaded, then it will automatically load into xubuntu
[10:20] <luckyshot> for some reason when i remove the sd card and boot up it gives me a grub 21 error
[10:20] <luckyshot> http://pastebin.ca/921801
[10:20] <luckyshot> thats what i tried
[10:20] <ganu> how to install oracle 10g r2 on ubuntu 7.10??http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=437691   in this its explained for 7.04..will it work for 7.10?
[10:20] <simplexio> MDKSIGN: depends.. i have used wine only run civ4, and VirtualBox to run dev-enviroment
[10:21] <luckyshot> anyone?
[10:21] <naxa> MDKSIGN, it depends. try the app. with wine and if it works OK then it is the better. if it's not working then you can use it with virtualbox. if even virtualbox fail, then i don't know what to do but this is rare.
[10:21] <simplexio> MDKSIGN: but if you want use VBox to run normal programs i would recommend VBox, not sure how 3d stuff works in Vbox
[10:23] <fx|RabBit> simplexio: no 3d support in virtualbox afaik
[10:24] <naxa> how can i set a default ip address in ubuntu without using X at all? i want it to be set by the init process...
[10:24] <madmaxmad> ifconfig
[10:24] <madmaxmad> if you dont know how to use ifconfig type man ifconfig
[10:25] <Squawk> madmaxmad, that wont set up a "default ip address", just assign one for now
[10:25] <KenSentMe> How do i enable the dutch spellchecking on an English system?
[10:25] <Squawk> naxa, one sec
[10:25] <naxa> Squawk, thanks :)
[10:26] <naxa> madmaxmad, thank you for your effort too
[10:27] <naxa> Squawk, i rename myself to naxaa
[10:27] <Squawk> naxa, edit /etc/network/interfaces, under eth0 you need "address ipaddress, netmask netmask, gateway, ipaddress", 3 separate lines set to what you want
[10:27] <Squawk> no comma after gateway
[10:27] <naxaa> Squawk, thank you
[10:27] <Micheru> ok i tried adding the command to the start of that script, it started but xserver failed, when i try it at the end the command does not run :/
[10:28] <AlexStacey> Installation went without a hitch. Everything found. Wondefull! Thanks people =]
[10:29] <Micheru> the script being /etc/gdm/Xsession and the command being the x11vnc start command
[10:29] <naxaa> Squawk, by "gateway ipaddress" did you mean the ip address of the gateway or "gateway ip address first then the ip address of the local computer again"?
[10:30] <Squawk> naxaa, I mean type "gateway number.number.number.number"
[10:30] <naxaa> Oh i see :D ok
[10:30] <naxaa> Squawk, oh, ok, thanks:) By the way in "address ipaddress" address is the word "address" then?
[10:33] <Squawk> naxaa, in each of those three cases, the first word is the word, the second is the actual ip address, so for example "address <IP_ADDRESS>, netmask <IP_ADDRESS>, gateway <IP_ADDRESS>"
[10:33] <naxaa> Squawk, thank you, examples are my best friends :)

[11:09] <simplexio> gaynor: system-preferences-appearance
[11:10] <hischild> gaynor, if you change your resolution it will change the font size.
[11:10] <hischild> SIN_AS, go into console and type glxgears. Does that show up for you?
[11:10] <gaynor> Do I have to reboot for resolution changes to work?
[11:10] <juzzzzzy> gaynor: no
[11:10] <gaynor> I changed them but nothing happened
[11:10] <juzzzzzy> resolution can be changed on the fly
[11:10] <juzzzzzy> did you hit apply?
[11:10] <gaynor> I thinkn so
[11:10] <SIN_AS> hischild, yes,work

[11:14] <SIN_AS> hischild, but i want fire skils or somethink like that
[11:14] <schwadri> is there a place where i can find a list of different object file formats for ubuntu?
[11:14] <gaynor> The screen resolution showed me a good size text and asked if I wanted to keep the changes and I clicked for it to keep but it didn;t
[11:15] <hischild> SIN_AS, i need to know what does and what does not work. In order for me to find that out, i need you to do a few things. Hitting that key combination is one of them, as it tells me whether it is installed like it should
[11:15] <ThreeFingerPete> I get this error.. how do i configure it? google isnt helping me "Package linux-image-386 is not configured yet."
[11:16] <thoreauputic> ThreeFingerPete: try running  " sudo apt-get -f install"
[11:17] <ThreeFingerPete> thoreauputic: i get the same error from that
[11:17] <Ziroda1> ThreeFingerPete: try sudo dpkg --configure -a
[11:17] <brambo> anyone know how to get the get called Rigs of Rods working in Ubuntu, i tryed with Wine but that dont work there is a linux version i cant get to work
[11:17] <brambo> game*
[11:18] <thoreauputic> ThreeFingerPete: check   dpkg -l linux* and see if you actually have a 386 linux kernel in there :)
[11:18] <SIN_AS> hischild, i did like that http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-Compiz-Fusion-on-Ubuntu-58113.shtml
[11:18] <pajamian> brambo: where is the website for it?
[11:18] <brambo> pajamian: there is 2 one sec ill get it
[11:18] <SIN_AS> hischild, and only cube works perfect
[11:19] <ThreeFingerPete> thoreauputic: i seem to have it. i cannot even install a 686. its dependancy errors for every kernel
[11:19] <brambo> pajamian: http://repository.rigsofrods.com/
[11:20] <pajamian> brambo: I'll have a quick look, one min.
[11:20] <hischild> SIN_AS, compiz is installed by default on ubuntu. The only things required to get it to work is the restricted driver.
[11:20] <legend2440> brambo:http://wiki.rigsofrods.com/index.php?title=Installation_Guide#Ubuntu.2FDebian
[11:20] <Joelio> I'm having trouble getting vmware player working in Heron amd64... I think the vmware player install needs patching as it's erroring when trying to create the modules.. anyone have a fix?
[11:20] <LoLLo> i've a .rpm file ( installation of acrobat reader ) .... i've noticed that if i keep the folder inside the file and go to the .bin file, the program runs !!!! i mustn't follow a procedure for the installation  ? ? ? ?

[11:20] <gaynor> and that is NOT what I want
[11:20] <smaila> how can i see whitch packets that are awailibel from xterm "apt-get" ?
[11:20] <Ziroda1> Joelio: 8.10 in #ubuntu+1 please
[11:20] <SIN_AS> hischild, wobbly plubin works perfect,and cube
[11:20] <thoreauputic> ThreeFingerPete: did you try  sudo dpkg --configure -a  as Ziroda1 suggested ?
[11:21] <SIN_AS> hischild, what shall i do?
[11:21] <ThreeFingerPete> thoreauputic: i tried that yes. it gives me the all pervasive error about dependancies
[11:21] <thoreauputic> Ziroda1: 8.04 actually :)
[11:21] <pajamian> brambo: did you try the directions here: http://wiki.rigsofrods.com/index.php?title=Installation_Guide#Ubuntu.2FDebian
[11:21] <Ziroda1> thoreauputic: jumping ahead of myself again :)
[11:21] <hischild> SIN_AS, what version of ubuntu are you running?
[11:21] <Nitroray> Guys: I have this problem; When I press the [X] Somewhere, like in Pidgin, it should minimalise to the Panel, but it doesn't, it closes my Pidgin :( Or Evolution Mail.... What to do know? Somebody know the answer??
[11:21] <SIN_AS> hischild, 7.04
[11:21] <thoreauputic> ThreeFingerPete: try   sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-386
[11:22] <brambo> pajamian: im reading through that now
[11:22] <pajamian> brambo: ok, brb.
[11:22] <thoreauputic> ThreeFingerPete: is your /etc/apt/sources.list correct?
[11:22] <LoLLo> i've a .rpm file ( installation of acrobat reader ) .... i've noticed that if i keep the folder inside the file and go to the .bin file, the program runs !!!! i mustn't follow a procedure for the installation  ? ? ? ?
[11:22] <ThreeFingerPete> thoreauputic: i appreciate all the effort you are applying to my hard head. i will try that too
[11:22] <brambo> pajamian: sorry i dont type so well sometimes
[11:22] <Ziroda1> ThreeFingerPete: that bigger issue is probably caused by a failed installation or upgrade, can you actually get to the gnome desktop?
[11:22] <hischild> SIN_AS, and the reason why you're not using 7,10 is ...
[11:23] <ThreeFingerPete> Ziroda1: I am at the desktop, yes. and yes, i realized i had a problem when i was offered a partial update only.
[11:23] <ganu>  sudo for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 S ; do ln -s /etc/rc$i.d /etc/rc.d/rc$i.d ; done is there anything wrong in this command?
[11:23] <Nitroray> Guys: I have this problem; When I press the [X] Somewhere, like in Pidgin, it should minimalise to the Panel, but it doesn't, it closes my Pidgin :( Or Evolution Mail.... What to do now? Somebody know the answer??
[11:23] <SIN_AS> hischild, most important reason is drivers radeon 9550 video card
[11:24] <brambo> pajamian: private message me when you return i might not catch what u say here as im trying to read that link
[11:24] <Juzzzzy> hischild: I'm baaack, success in creating partition/mounting but i'm stuck in fstab with mounting it, i've got /dev/sdb1 /video ext3 defaults 0 ... is this correct?
[11:24] <SIN_AS> hischild, there are drivers only 7.04 version
[11:25] <hischild> SIN_AS, as far as i know drivers are not restricted to a specific version. The only thing i can think of is that compiz refuses to show it because your graphics card cannot handle it.
[11:25] <brambo> forgive a ubuntu noob but how do i bring up my soures list i foret the code for terminal to do it?
[11:25] <hischild> Juzzzzy, at first sight that seems correct
[11:25] <Juzzzzy> sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[11:25] <Juzzzzy> hischild: it mounts but i cannot write to it
[11:26] <Juzzzzy> no permissions
[11:26] <hischild> Juzzzzy, then you'll have to add the rw options to it
[11:26] <unamed> hello friends
[11:26] <ganu> sudo for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 S ; do ln -s /etc/rc$i.d /etc/rc.d/rc$i.d ; done                           is there anything wrong in this command?
[11:26] <unamed> how are you all?
[11:26] <unamed> i'm on the moon
[11:26] <Werdna> ganu: maybe you need sudo ln -s instead of sudo for the whole blob
[11:26] <Ziroda1> unamed: #ubuntu-offtopic please, this is a support channel
[11:27] <unamed> Ziroda1, you right, sorry

[11:28] <ThreeFingerPete> Ziroda1: whats my best course of action?
[11:28] <Werdna> ganu: I mean for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 S ; do sudo ln -s /etc/rc$i.d /etc/rc.d/rc$i.d ; done
[11:28] <Nitroray> Guys How can I use .EXE files?

[11:28] <LoLLo> guys i'm not able to install an rpm file of acrobat reader SIGH
[11:28] <Ziroda1> ThreeFingerPete: unfortunatly the only way I can think of (and mainly use) is a reinstall, or you can try the repair option on the ubuntu disk
[11:28] <Nitroray> now this error: When I press the [X] Somewhere, like in Pidgin, it should minimalise to the Panel, but it doesn't, it closes my Pidgin :( Or Evolution Mail.... What to do now? Somebody know the answer??
[11:29] <ganu> Werdna: ya... it worked.. thanx..
[11:29] <Ziroda1> LoLLo: you can install .rpm files with alien
[11:29] <legend2440> Lollo: ubuntu uses .deb packages not rpm

[11:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about widescreen - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[11:34] <Nitroray> :|
[11:35] <legend2440> ok, but i've used it with no problems
[11:35] <hischild> Nitroray, what's up with widescreen?
[11:35] <Juzzzzy> he wants dual monitors :P
[11:35] <hischild> legend2440, it installs software and drivers in ways that can severely break your system
[11:35] <reikalusikka> How do I see if I use KDE?
[11:35] <pajamian> brambo: a command like this should suffice: sudo echo "deb http://apt.rigsofrods.com/ /" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
[11:35] <hischild> ooh
[11:35] <Ntafoulis> It didnt give me an answer:P  anyone knows if i can extend my monitor or just clone it with a tv using ubuntu?

[11:36] <brambo> pajamian: good cuz my sources list dont seem to come up, but now it does and its empty hm...
[11:36] <hischild> Nitroray, may i ask what you are looking for then?
[11:37] <Nitroray> Hischild - I can't set Graphics to Extra.
[11:37] <reikalusikka> How do I see if I use KDE?
[11:37] <pajamian> brambo: you did use >> and not >, right?
[11:37] <brambo> pajamian: forgive me could u type the sources code again?
[11:37] <LoLLo> uhm okz thx .... can u suggest me a good cleaner ( of the useless folder etc ) file ?
[11:37] <hischild> Nitroray, can you set them to custom? does it give you an error message? have you enabled restricted drivers?
[11:37] <pajamian> brambo: a command like this should suffice: sudo echo "deb http://apt.rigsofrods.com/ /" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
[11:38] <Nitroray> Hischild - Im a n00by on ubunutu, born with Microsoft :'( What you mean Custom ?
[11:38] <Nitroray> *ubuntu
[11:38] <hischild> Nitroray, there usually also is an option custom where you can select the graphics options.
[11:39] <brambo> pajamian: the echo deb apt rigs of rods.com u sent dont seem to do anything
[11:39] <pajamian> brambo: it is just the first step
[11:39] <Juzzzzy> hischild: so what permissions do i need to set when mounting this ext3 partition?
[11:39] <Nitroray> Hischild - Brb sorry
[11:39] <pajamian> brambo: do: cat /etc/apt/sources.list and make sure that line is at the end.
[11:39] <brambo> pajamian: would u mind typing that to me in private message? the chat goes so quick
[11:40] <hischild> Juzzzzy, if it doesn't moun it properly, set it with rw permissions (idk the exact command for that)
[11:40] <brambo> deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu gutsy main   is at the end
[11:40] <pajamian> brambo: are you registered with nickserv?
[11:41] <pajamian> brambo: you can't pm in freenode unless you are registered.
[11:41] <brambo> pajamian: im not sure, probably not but i have used private messages before
[11:41] <hischild> brambo, have you used private messages on THIS server before?
[11:41] <brambo> yeah
[11:41] <gaynor> Hischild, I think this programme has the minuscule default text setting set in concrete and unable to be changeed
[11:41] <brambo> but i never registered..
[11:41] <brambo> how would that happen?
[11:41] <KbuntuStudio> :-D hello!!!
[11:41] <pajamian> brambo: it won't work unless you register.
[11:42] <brambo> how do i register?
[11:42] <pajamian> !register | brambo
[11:42] <ubotu> brambo: By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick <nickname> » to select your nickname.
[11:42] <Johnny_5> hello KbuntuStudio
[11:42] <brambo> just type and send,   !register |  here?
[11:42] <gaynor> I hate this programme before I even get used to it simply bescause I can;t read a damned thing in the screens and menues
[11:43] <pajamian> brambo: no, read the message that ubotu just gave you.
[11:43] <Keith3> damm
[11:43] <Keith_Mc-Kay> noone has that
[11:43] <Keith_Mc-Kay> hello
[11:43] <Ziroda1> Keith_Mc-Kay: hi
[11:43] <giggsey> I have two NIC's in my ubuntu box, one plugged into a 192.168.* subnet, the other into a 10.0.* subnet. I'm trying to redirect internet traffic from the 10.0.* subnet through the linux server into 192.168.*. There is a proxy server running on <IP_ADDRESS> which the gutsy box will need to browse via. Any good guides/software for this?
[11:44] <Keith_Mc-Kay> I love ubuntu, but i have one little question?
[11:44] <Johnny_5> hey Keith_Mc-Kay
[11:44] <LoLLo> where can i put some folders which are necessary for the running of some programs ( linke Lexmark, skype etc etc ) that currently i've in the desktop ... ? in /share ? ? ?
[11:44] <Nitroray> Hischild - Where to find the option Custom ?
[11:44] <Johnny_5> shoot
[11:45] <Keith_Mc-Kay> I rebooted today, and the system booted to the login, at least I have hear the login sound, but ive lost my screen
[11:45] <MoLE_> giggsey, you might be better off using a specialist distro for this, such as smoothwall or ipcop.
[11:45] <hischild> Nitroray, under the rest of the options under system --> preferences --> appearance
[11:45] <Keith_Mc-Kay> im using a laptop as i cheap way of running a server.
[11:45] <dooglus> Keith_Mc-Kay: did you forget to turn the monitor on?
[11:45] <Keith_Mc-Kay> Funny hear har. mate
[11:45] <Ziroda1> Keith_Mc-Kay: thats not good, is your monitor cables plugged in?
[11:45] <Johnny_5> Keith_Mc-Kay: did u mess with the screen resolutions any?
[11:45] <ultrav1olet> Is it possible to upgrade Ubuntu alpha version to a stable release?
[11:45] <Keith_Mc-Kay> the moniter is connected to the laptop, i dont want to use the laptop screen
[11:45] <KbuntuStudio> When ever I try to enable windows effects, I get a message that says: "The composite extension is not available"
[11:46] <giggsey> MoLE_: well, do you know of any software based systems? Because it also needs to run apache/mysql within the 10.* subnet
[11:46] <brambo> [Brambo] is already registered...gotta try another name i think
[11:46] <ultrav1olet> How many packages will be updated in this process?
[11:46] <pajamian> Keith_Mc-Kay: some laptops have a key combination that you press to toggle between the external monitor port and the built-in display.
[11:46] <brambo> if im not registered how did i private message before?
[11:46] <legend2440> is EasyUbuntu recommended? Safe to use? I understand Automatix is not recommended
[11:46] <hischild> brambo, you can probably still receive pm's
[11:46] <Johnny_5> Keith_Mc-Kay: does the picture still show up on the laptop screen?
[11:46] <Ziroda1> legend2440: what packages do you need from easyubuntu
[11:46] <Keith_Mc-Kay> before now i got low screen mode, 800-600
[11:46] <brambo> hischild: i sent and receieved ones
[11:46] <hischild> legend2440, any version of ubuntu is safe and easy to use.
[11:47] <Keith_Mc-Kay> i was able to up the res,
[11:47] <MoLE_> giggsey, maybe SME server is more what you want...
[11:47] <Nitroray> Hischild - under System --> Preferences --> Appearance Preferences --> Visual Effects --> Extra, it says: Desktop Effects Could Not Be Enabled !
[11:47] <KbuntuStudio> When ever I try to enable windows effects, I get a message that says: "The composite extension is not available"
[11:47] <Keith_Mc-Kay> i need to know how to get to get it all back
[11:47] <hischild> Nitroray, aaah now we get somewhere ... 1. did you enable restricted drivers? 2. do you have an ati card?
[11:47] <Keith_Mc-Kay> im running root mode, on startup
[11:47] <Nitroray> 1. No, not that I know, 2. There was a way to check this in Terminal, how ?
[11:47] <Johnny_5> Keith_Mc-Kay: so u don't see anything on either screen then??
[11:47] <Nitroray> Hischild ?
[11:48] <Keith_Mc-Kay> i havent started x yet
[11:48] <pajamian> Nitroray: lspci
[11:48] <Keith_Mc-Kay> nop. all blank
[11:48] <KbuntuStudio> When ever I try to enable windows effects, I get a message that says: "The composite extension is not available"
[11:48] <booster_> for ati and nvidia cards there is a package called envy...it has all those drivers for you to install
[11:48] <croppa> a friend has closed all the panels on his ubuntu desktop.....How do I get them back?
[11:48] <hischild> Nitroray, one thing at a time :-) system --> adminstration --> restricted drivers
[11:48] <Nitroray> Pajamian, there was a better way, like lspci Nvidia or something
[11:48] <Nitroray> ok hischild
[11:48] <hischild> !nvidia > hischild
[11:48] <Keith_Mc-Kay> when i reboot in safe mode, i get the shell start up, where i can login to shell
[11:48] <pajamian> Nitroray: not sure, I usually just use lspci.
[11:49] <pajamian> Nitroray: easy enough to find out, though
[11:49] <KbuntuStudio> When ever I try to enable windows effects, I get a message that says: "The composite extension is not available"
[11:49] <Johnny_5> Keith_Mc-Kay: so i take it ur in the comand line...next time sign in as ur user. 4 some reason root won't use the graphical
[11:49] <LoLLo> where can i put some folders which are necessary for the running of some programs ( linke Lexmark, skype etc etc ) that currently i've in the desktop ... ? in /share ? ? ?
[11:49] <hischild> pajamian, i wasn't going to make it overly complicated. When he tries to enable his drivers he should see wether he has an ati or nvidia card :-)
[11:49] <Nitroray> Hischild - They are all enabled
[11:49] <giggsey> MoLE_: is there a website I can visit for information about running this on a Ubuntu Server?
[11:49] <Nitroray> Hischild - 2 are not in use.
[11:50] <Keith_Mc-Kay> if i let it go into graphical then i cant see nothing
[11:50] <hischild> not in use?
[11:50] <Nitroray> Hischild - But enabled
[11:50] <KbuntuStudio> Hello?:-( I've been sitting here for 10 minutes......... When ever I try to enable windows effects, I get a message that says: "The composite extension is not available"
[11:50] <Johnny_5> ah...
[11:50] <ganu> whre can i get the complete guide to install oracle on ubuntu 7.10??which release of oracle suits ubuntu 7.10 best?
[11:50] <Nitroray> Hischild - Yes not in use (red icon ipo green) but enabled
[11:50] <Juzzzzy> KbuntuStudio: be patient, help is coming
[11:50] <KbuntuStudio> ok
[11:50] <MoLE_> giggsey, it's actually a completely different distro.  www.smeserver.org
[11:50] <Ziroda1> KbuntuStudio: do you haave the packages for compiz installed?
[11:50] <KbuntuStudio> yes
[11:51] <Juzzzzy> KbuntuStudio: there are only a few real ubuntu gurus in here and they're very busy ;)
[11:51] <hischild> Nitroray, okay. Now there probably is a line that says either ati or nvidia. Which one do you see?
[11:51] <tam> how can one check how much they are transferring out a virtual interface?
[11:51] <Nitroray> Hischild - NViDIA
[11:51] <KbuntuStudio> Ziroda1:Yes I did.
[11:51] <Ziroda1> KbuntuStudio: in a terminal can you type compiz --replace and tell me what happens please
[11:51] <hischild> KbuntuStudio, you're missing probably a package, and google helped me out on that one.
[11:51] <KbuntuStudio> ok
[11:51] <pajamian> Nitroray: there could be other nvidia components, what's the entire line (to make sure it's actually the graphics card).
[11:52] <Keith_Mc-Kay> ive rebooted my other box, the one with the problem, and ive loggod in before the session login
[11:52] <Keith_Mc-Kay> i tried startx in the shell, and it says there are no usable modes
[11:52] <KbuntuStudio> I got this: chris@ubuntustudiosystem:~$ compiz --replace
[11:52] <KbuntuStudio> Checking for Xgl: not present.
[11:52] <KbuntuStudio> No whitelisted driver found
[11:52] <KbuntuStudio> aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity
[11:52] <hischild> pajamian, good point ... though i was going to assume it was his gfx otherwise he'd say more then just this line :-)
[11:52] <ganu> whre can i get the complete guide to install oracle on ubuntu 7.10??which release of oracle suits ubuntu 7.10 best?
[11:52] <Nitroray> Pajamian - NVIDIA Accelrated graphics driver (legacy card)
[11:53] <pajamian> Nitroray: that's the graphics card alright.
[11:53] <Nitroray> Pajamian - Its in Use and green icon'd
[11:53] <Ziroda1> KbuntuStudio: have you run the restriced drivers manager?
[11:53] <Nitroray> Pajamian - What to do now ?
[11:53] <KbuntuStudio> Ziroda1: How?
[11:53] <hischild> pajamian, if i'm correct he's missing xserver-xgl
[11:53] <ultrav1olet> Is it possible to upgrade the latest Ubuntu alpha version to a new stable release? How many packages will be updated in this process?
[11:53] <Ziroda1> KbuntuStudio: System > Administration > Restricted Drivers Manager
[11:53] <giggsey> MoLE_: well, I don't really want to reinstall the server. I'm looking for something software based.
[11:54] <pajamian> Nitroray: I'm not sure, I was just helping to id which card you have, I wasn't following the whole thing.
[11:54] <ricardoromao> Hello people, i have a problem with my ubuntu 7.10 on Asus motherboard. The ubuntu boots ok, but when I use a litle, they freeze and blinking the Caps Lock and Scrool Lock lights, someone knows what this mean ? TKS
[11:54] <KbuntuStudio> Zirdoa1: Yes I have
[11:54] <Nitroray> Pajamian - Still Thanks, now I need Hischild again :P
[11:54] <legend2440> KbuntuStudio: I had same problem. I had to add line to xorg.conf under Section "Extensions" that says Option	    "Composite" "Enable"
[11:54] <hischild> hehe :-) we all help together
[11:55] <KbuntuStudio> \ok
[11:55] <[CroX]> I have just installed Ubuntu on a laptop and now it doesn't show any network interfaces, so I can't connect anywhere, nor any gfx cards so I'm stuck at a 800x600 resolution. Could someone please help me figure this out?
[11:55] <Ziroda1> KbuntuStudio: try follow legend2440 advice, i also need your graphics card information and what version of ubuntu you are using
[11:55] <MoLE_> giggsey, in that case my best suggestion would be to look at debian admin guides.  There's a site for it, but I can't recall it off the top of my head.
[11:55] <hischild> Nitroray, if i'm correct in my thinking, you're missing a package called xserver-xgl. So go ahead, open up a console and type " sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl " hit enter and tell me if it installs it or if it says it already is installed
[11:55] <Ziroda1> [CroX]: try running the Restricted Drivers Manager
[11:55] <Keith_Mc-Kay> Johnny_5, you there buddy
[11:55] <[CroX]> Ziroda1: It's not in there either.
[11:56] <giggsey> Would something like squid do it?
[11:56] <KbuntuStudio> Zirdoa1: UbuntuStudio 7.10 Gusty Gibbon. Has a ATi Graphics Card.
[11:56] <Nitroray> Hischild - :D:D:D:D ITs installing and downloading :D:D:D
[11:56] <[CroX]> Ziroda1: Only Atheros HAL.
[11:56] <Johnny_5> Keith_Mc-Kay: yeah just tryin' 2 look something up
[11:56] <ulaas> hi!. how may i set rc.local run on boot by default on gutsy?
[11:56] <Keith_Mc-Kay> k
[11:56] <Ziroda1> [CroX]: does it say the card drivers have been installed?
[11:56] <Keith_Mc-Kay> im in maintenance mode
[11:56] <hischild> [CroX], do you happen to know if you have an atheros 5007 EG?
[11:56] <Nitroray> hischild - Its installed now, what to do noww ?
[11:56] <hischild> Nitroray, try it again :-)
[11:57] <hischild> Nitroray, the enabling of effects
[11:57] <Nitroray> hischild - It works like windows, I need to restart, or not?
[11:57] <Ziroda1> KbuntuStudio: what model?
[11:57] <hischild> Nitroray, nope, you don't have to restart
[11:57] <KbuntuStudio> umm........idk
[11:57] <Nitroray> Hischild - Is that normal in Ubuntu ?
[11:57] <hischild> Nitroray, not specific to ubuntu, more to unix in general.
[11:58] <[CroX]> hischild: No idea, it's a Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo.
[11:58] <hischild> Nitroray, if you want, feel fre to reboot, I'll be here waiting :-)
[11:58] <KbuntuStudio> Zidora1: i dont know
[11:58] <pajamian> Nitroray: there are some things you need to restart for in ubuntu, but nowhere near as much as for windows.
[11:58] <[CroX]> hischild: Let me check..
[11:58] <Nitroray> HIschild - It aint working now, I reboot ?
[11:58] <Nitroray> Hischild - Im rebooting, brb
[11:58] <croppa> a friend has closed all the panels on his ubuntu desktop..so that he now cannt click to launch a program...How do I get them back?
[11:58] <Ziroda1> KbuntuStudio: type "lspci | grep Graphics"
[11:59] <LoLLo> where can i put some folders which are necessary for the running of some programs ( linke Lexmark, skype etc etc ) that currently i've in the desktop ... ? in /share ? ? ?
[11:59] <[CroX]> The wired network wont work either. I tried running defining eth0/1 in the interfaces file but it said "No such device".
[11:59] <tapas> ok
[11:59] <tapas> openoffice is totally not working here
[11:59] <MoLE_> giggsey, http://www.debian-administration.org/
[11:59] <Shrugz> is there a way i can view all packages i have installed on my harddrive via my terminal?
[11:59] <tapas> no suitable windowing system found, exiting.
[12:00] <tapas> web search gives no clue
[12:00] <legend2440> KbuntuStudio: after you add "Composite" "Enable" to xorg.conf you need to reboot
[12:00] <tapas> presentation in 1 hour
[12:00] <tapas> i'm screwed
[12:00] <Ziroda1> tapas: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[12:00] <tapas> gutsy
[12:00] <hischild> legend2440, only gdm ;-) ctrl alt backspace
[12:01] <Ziroda1> t?apas: with gnome and metacity or gnome and compiz?  if compiz is it using emerald?
[12:01] <tapas> no compiz
[12:01] <legend2440> <hischild: yes you are correct sir
[12:02] <hischild> legend2440, dont you sir me :p i aint that old yet
[12:02] <KbuntuStudio> legend2440: How do i add "Composite" "Enable" to xorg.conf
[12:02] <Johnny_5> Keith_Mc-Kay: try  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/edubuntu-users/2006-November/000394.html
[12:02] <Keith_Mc-Kay> thankyou
[12:02] <Johnny_5> let me know how it goes
[12:02] <legend2440> hischild: couldn't remember the keystrokes to restart gdm lol
[12:03] <legend2440> i'm getting senile
[12:03] <hischild> legend2440, np :-) if you'd ask ubotu he'd say /etc/init.d/?dm restart :-)
[12:03] <Keith_Mc-Kay> ok, i need to pico the xorg.conf
[12:03] <Keith_Mc-Kay> not something ive done before :D
[12:03] <legend2440> ok thx
[12:03] <Shrugz> argg closed the channel by mistake but as i was asking is there a program or a commandline i can use to view all the installed packages on my system?
[12:03] <KbuntuStudio> legend2440: How do i add "Composite" "Enable" to xorg.conf
[12:04] <hischild> Shrugz, you can use synaptic?
[12:04] <Shrugz> hischild i was unaware synaptic let you view the installed packages
[12:04] <legend2440> KbuntuStudio sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg/xorg.conf
[12:04] <hischild> Shrugz, it does, they have the little filled square in front o fit
[12:04] <KbuntuStudio> :ok
[12:05] <[CroX]> hischild: SiS196, does that tell you anything? It's listed together with the info about the network card.
[12:05] <Shrugz> hischild i mean a program that can let me view all installed packages at once
[12:05] <KbuntuStudio> Legend2440: Now what?
[12:06] <hischild> [CroX], not really :(
[12:06] <hischild> hmm ... JW at my door ... back in a few hours
[12:06] <hischild> :P
[12:06] <legend2440> KbuntuStudio: section may be already in xorg.conf and you just need to change "Disable" to "Enable"
[12:06] <KbuntuStudio> nothing is in the file
[12:06] <reikalusikka> how do I load kde?
[12:06] <giggsey> Would it be possible to use squid proxy + iptables MoLE_? I need to make sure that the 192.168. subnet can't see anything within 10.*
[12:07] <Keith_Mc-Kay> Johnny_5, I not sure what I should be changing here.
[12:07] <tapas> i guess java is broken
[12:07] <Keith_Mc-Kay> plug and play, and failsafe moniter
[12:07] <Keith_Mc-Kay> im on that section
[12:07] <legend2440> KbuntuStudio: you have nothing in your xorg.conf file???
[12:08] <MoLE_> giggsey, you probably wouldn't even need to use squid. but you could certainly achieve this with some iptables magic.  Not sure about an easy GUI for this though..
[12:08] <KbuntuStudio> legend2440: Nothing is in the file/
[12:08] <giggsey> MoLE_: Could I do it via webmin?
[12:09] <LoLLo> can i create a link of the file system in the desktop ? ? ?
[12:09] <MoLE_> giggsey, is it a headless server??
[12:10] <giggsey> MoLE_: headless as in no monitor/keyboard/mouse/gui, yup
[12:10] <Johnny_5> Keith_Mc-Kay: r u still @ 800-600?
[12:10] <Keith_Mc-Kay> no idea
[12:11] <giggsey> Actually, iptables should be fine in theory. Just redirect all 10.* traffic on port 8080 to <IP_ADDRESS>:8080 and then block everything else going to 192.*
[12:11] <Keith_Mc-Kay> im on the laptop screen in a shell looking in etc//x11/
[12:12] <Keith_Mc-Kay> if i deleted what was there, would the system go back to dufaults
[12:13] <MoLE_> giggsey, I've no experience with webmin, but I've heard it's extremely powerful and flexible - it may do the job.
[12:14] <Keith_Mc-Kay> rebooted, i can see nothing on screen, moniter is pluged back in
[12:14] <giggsey> Okay, thanks MoLE_, I shall spend my afternoon looking into it
[12:14] <Keith_Mc-Kay> waiting and listening
[12:15] <Nitroray> Who was helping me again ?
[12:15] <Nitroray> with the graphics ?
[12:16] <hischild> [CroX], alright you still having bad luck with your lan?
[12:16] <hischild> (or wlan?)
[12:16] <Nitroray> HIschild :D
[12:16] <Nitroray> Hischild - It worked, a little
[12:16] <[CroX]> hischild: Yeah, I'm afraid so. :/
[12:16] <hischild> Nitroray, define a little
[12:16] <hischild> [CroX], hmm ... it has integrated wlan?
[12:16] <[CroX]> hischild: I thought I'd download Hardy and try upgrading with a CD, because someone said the network chip of my laptop isn't very compatible with 7.10.
[12:16] <fastfinger> Hmm, my screen flickers at boot up, like when the cable is disconnected in a television, any idea? works fine when booding through live cd/windows
[12:17] <[CroX]> hischild: Yes.
[12:17] <Johnny_5> Keith_Mc-Kay: i just sent u a pm
[12:17] <Nitroray> Hischild - I'm loosing my mouse sometimes, and the screen echo's on some places, so when I close some app, it will still keep a little bit of it, while its gone, understand me ?
[12:17] <Nitroray> HIschild - I lost my mouse again :(
[12:17] <hischild> Nitroray, yes i do. I've seen the same thing before.
[12:18] <hischild> Nitroray, you can try to ctrl alt f2 to go to a differnet terminal, and type "compiz --replace"
[12:18] <Nitroray> Hischild - Well. even on none graphics it keeps doing it.. Is it about the package I installed?
[12:18] <Nitroray> Hischild - Okaay
[12:18] <hischild> Nitroray, it's compiz who is sometimes slightly bugged
[12:18] <fastfinger> Also, I get a booting local script or something , says that about 3 times, screen flashes and says that, then when I am supposed to get a login screen I get that flickring thingy
[12:18] <simplexio> Nitroray: do you have wireless mouse ?
[12:18] <Nitroray> Hischild - ill do it, but I like the giggly windows, and all the zooming and the pan.
[12:19] <hischild> Nitroray, you'll keep those. The only thing compiz --replace does, is reload compiz again.
[12:19] <hischild> Nitroray, after you've typed that hit ctrl+alt+f7 to get back to here
[12:19] <Nitroray> Hischild - No the Icon is loosing, not the mouse, when I move the mouse, sometimes I see him
[12:19] <Nitroray> Hischild - I have a wired mouse
[12:19] <hischild> simplexio, he has a wired mouse (wrong nick)
[12:19] <fastfinger> I think a problem with xorg maybe? i have no idea what to do at all
[12:20] <Keith_Mc-Kay> I got low grapics mode back, im ok, least i can see the screen
[12:20] <Johnny_5> awesome
[12:20] <simplexio> Nitroray: check batteries. only time when i have  lose mouse is when batteries are allmoust out
[12:20] <Keith_Mc-Kay> 800x600 is all i can get..
[12:20] <hischild> simplexio, wired mouse != batteries?
[12:20] <Keith_Mc-Kay> i would have liked it to use a higher res
[12:20] <Johnny_5> it won't let u??
[12:21] <Keith_Mc-Kay> but ifs its going to create issues
[12:21] <Keith_Mc-Kay> well the moniter comes up unkown
[12:21] <Keith_Mc-Kay> its an LC22SFD
[12:21] <Johnny_5> do u use gnome?
[12:21] <simplexio> hischild: well, low on power
[12:21] <Keith_Mc-Kay> so if I leave it on generic
[12:21] <Keith_Mc-Kay> year I use gnome
[12:22] <Nitroray> Hischild? My mouse has still gone...
[12:22] <danand> fastfinger - that sounds to me like your monitor is being made to flicker etc by switching between resolutions etc at various stages of the boot process ....
[12:22] <Nitroray> Hischild - Reboot ?
[12:22] <ThreeFingerPete> i return! seemingly triumphant! thanks to all that helped! the two i can remember dont seem to be here, but let me tell you; you are all a great bunch of people!
[12:22] <dm_> hello every one, i am asking about the best brand of laptops that work perfectly with linux , espcailly Ubuntu 7.1
[12:22] <hischild> Nitroray, can do, but probably won't do much good
[12:22] <Nitroray> Hischild - What to do else ?
[12:22] <hischild> Nitroray, i'm thinking
[12:23] <Nitroray> Hischild - When I reboot, I will be able to get back here? I'll wait for what you think, Sorry for my bad english :$
[12:23] <hadi> hiii
[12:23] <Keith_Mc-Kay> its working now through the moniter not the laptop, thats what i want..
[12:24] <Keith_Mc-Kay> but its only 800x600
[12:24] <hischild> Nitroray, no problem, you're trying which is much more appreciated then trying to force answers
[12:24] <Keith_Mc-Kay> i can live with that. its setup for running servers.
[12:24] <Nitroray> Hischild - Above this chat it says: Be patient ;)
[12:24] <dm_> can any one answer me about the best brand of laptops  what work well with linux
[12:24] <Nitroray> dm_ ask the seller ??
[12:24] <hischild> Nitroray, yes it does. Most are unable to read that for some reason ;-)
[12:25] <Nitroray> like dm_ :P
[12:25] <ThreeFingerPete> dm_: i havent had any luck with acer
[12:25] <hischild> ThreeFingerPete, that isn't entirely true ... i'm running an acer 5520 fine now :-)
[12:25] <Johnny_5> i use enlightenment and don't have my other comp with me so bear with me...
[12:26] <ThreeFingerPete> hischild: really! i cannot get it to install. partition problems
[12:26] <dm_> and if i am living in a place where the sellers don't know what linux is !!
[12:26] <hischild> ThreeFingerPete, yeah ... it took a bit of trouble and custom compiling to get it all working, but it works flawlessly now
[12:26] <Nitroray> dm_ Erm.. ask them if they are dumb ?
[12:26] <danand> dm_ - check out dells new stuff - goto www.ubuntu.com - there is a link and some info on screen. Also check out www.linux-laptop.net
[12:27] <gpellis64> dm_: i think dell do a laptop with ubuntu installed
[12:27] <dm_> what i can do then other than asking people who use laptops and find the best one
[12:27] <ThreeFingerPete> hischild: i am tempted to pull the hdd and install on it. the machine has heat issues; which is why i retired it from xp duties
[12:27] <Nitroray> dm_: you can ask www.Google.com ??
[12:27] <pajamian> dm_: a good idea is to order a dell laptop with ubuntu pre-installed.
[12:27] <Johnny_5> Keith_Mc-Kay: go to the folder after places (not applications) the name of which escapes me, go to the one on the top and scroll down the list u should see a selection the says screen resolution...click on that and u should be able to chang it from there. its safe...it'll try it out 4 u and ask if u want to keep it or go back to the last one
[12:28] <hischild> ThreeFingerPete, you probably already know that ubuntu is amazingly cool in cpu temp etc right? :P
[12:28] <dm_> yes, i googeled this topic and found that Dell is the best for me until now
[12:28] <ThreeFingerPete> hischild: my brother is getting a laptop of some sort tomorrow. if its an acer, any suggestions? he wants some 'buntu on it
[12:28] <dm_> but , the question is , does the hardware from Dell is better or that from Ibm or toshiba ,
[12:28] <ThreeFingerPete> hischild: it sure is cooler.
[12:29] <hischild> ThreeFingerPete, i think we can get it to work, if need be with some help from from folks around here
[12:29] <pajamian> dm_: dell isn't great hardware but they do sell with ubuntu pre-installed.
[12:29] <Nitroray> dm_: I preffer Toshiba, because they have the best cooling..
[12:29] <hischild> but no ... not a specific version i can recommend. I got a 5520 :-)
[12:29] <ThreeFingerPete> hischild: i am sure we can. folks around here are great!
[12:29] <hischild> ThreeFingerPete, we spend 10 hours getting my main box working :p
[12:29] <pajamian> dm_: I've also heard that toshiba makes the best laptops.
[12:30] <ThreeFingerPete> i'd like to try a ubuntu tablet
[12:30] <Nitroray> Hischild - Shall I try to reboot ?
[12:30] <hischild> Nitroray, if you want to reboot, you're always free to do so. I'm not moving any time soon (other then to grab food)
[12:30] <dm_> the question is, does toshiba laptops compatible , i mean most of the hardware, with ubuntu
[12:30] <Nitroray> Hischild - Okaaay
[12:31] <Tex-Twil> good afternoon
[12:31] <Nitroray> Hischild - Else I get back here for more help ? :$
[12:31] <pajamian> Ubuntu will go on just about anything, though.  I managed to install it on a macbook the other day, after I worked out that it doesn't like to have a seperate /boot partition.
[12:31] <Nitroray> good morning Tex-Twil
[12:31] <hischild> Nitroray, it's a support channel for a reason :-) when i'm not around, others are :-)
[12:31] <LemonNotGeoff> What is the hosts file variant for unbuntu?
[12:31] <hischild> Nitroray, besides, i've gota a lot to learn
[12:31] <Nitroray> Hischild - That's for sure :D
[12:31] <hischild> LemonNotGeoff, /etc/hosts
[12:31] <LemonNotGeoff> ok thx
[12:31] <Tex-Twil> How can I list the content of a .deb file ?
[12:32] <Da_Putzler> If I replace Nautilus with PcManFM, will it still load Nautilus in the background ???
[12:32] <Nitroray> Hischild - Well Ubuntu is my hobby. But my mums sais Windows works better, because its infiltret with the whole internet, pages like hyves.nl :( they discriminate Unix and Linux :@
[12:32] <danand> dm_ - best advice is to go into the shop with the live cd - pop it in, reboot, and see if ubuntu runs. if the seller is serious about helping a prospective buyer they will let you try it.
[12:33] <fastfinger> Hmm, I don't remember messing with my visuals, but any way to restore it to the way it was working?
[12:33] <pajamian> Tex-Twil: dpkg -c filename
[12:33] <Johnny_5> Keith_Mc-Kay: i hope i was @ least a little bit helpful...
[12:33] <Tex-Twil> Thanks pajamian
[12:33] <hischild> Nitroray, it's also my hobby. I'm goin to try the impossible somewhere later today (which is switching back to 7,10 ... yet keeping my current hardy install)
[12:33] <hischild> Nitroray, also, you can learn a lot faster by just diving into it :_)
[12:33] <hischild> :-)
[12:34] <LoLLo> can i create a link of the file system in the desktop ? ? ?
[12:34] <dm_> thanks danand
[12:34] <Da_Putzler> can I safely remove nautilus and stop it loading in the backround if I switch to PcMANfm
[12:34] <pajamian> LoLLo: can you elaborate, I'm not sure what you mean.
[12:35] <Keith_Mc-Kay> Johnny_5, thankyou mate, you got my screen back
[12:35] <dm_>  i think that this is what i will do, with whatever laptop i will buy either IBM , toshiba or dell
[12:35] <hischild> Da_Putzler, unrecommended since it's depended on by quite some programs as far as i know, but if you can tell them to use pcmanfm then in theory you could
[12:35] <dann> is there a recovery option on ubuntu? I think I removed 1 to many packages :D
[12:35] <brambo> pajamian: i can't seem to get back on my registered nick
[12:35] <danand> dm_ - np  - also check out that link i gave you earlier www.linux-laptop.net
[12:35] <Da_Putzler> thx hischild
[12:35] <Johnny_5> np
[12:35] <hischild> dann, what package did you remove?
[12:35] <Keith_Mc-Kay> now i know what all that does, im trying out other modes in failsafe
[12:35] <LoLLo> i need to go to the / folder from an icon of the desktop
[12:35] <pajamian> brambo: ok, did you paste what I asked into the pastebin?
[12:35] <dann> I removed gstreamer because it didnt play my vid files
[12:35] <Johnny_5> cool
[12:35] <brambo> yeah 1 sec
[12:35] <ThreeFingerPete> Nitroray: learn fastest by breaking things
[12:36] <Da_Putzler> vlc always worked better for movies/audo
[12:36] <dann> it said it needed to remove linked packages
[12:36] <brambo> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57687/
[12:36] <Johnny_5> well need 2 go 2 bed now
[12:36] <dann> Yeh, but VLC wont install either
[12:36] <Johnny_5> later all
[12:36] <pajamian> LoLLo: ln -s / ~/Desktop/filesystem
[12:36] <hischild> dann, okay. I agree that vlc does work better. Does it give you any errors?
[12:36] <pajamian> LoLLo: that should do it
[12:36] <Da_Putzler> dann: what's it say ?
[12:36] <Keith_Mc-Kay> Johnny_5, but im still stuck on 800x600
[12:36] <dann> checking it now
[12:36] <Keith_Mc-Kay> heh
[12:36] <dm_> so
[12:36] <anderson> hi
[12:36] <Johnny_5> heh
[12:36] <Keith_Mc-Kay> guess i cant run euae on it
[12:37] <Keith_Mc-Kay> thats why i wanted it higher
[12:37] <dann> when instaling vlc
[12:37] <dann> it says it conflicts with another package, check in synaptics
[12:38] <Da_Putzler> are you installing it through the add/remove proggy ?
[12:38] <dann> yes
[12:38] <pajamian> brambo: I see the problem, I think...
[12:38] <Da_Putzler> goto synaptic and make sure vlc isnt already on the system in some form
[12:38] <Da_Putzler> if it is, remove and re-install
[12:39] <brambo> pajamian: what is OSD ?
[12:39] <LoLLo> ok thx ! another thing .. where are ubuntu's icons ? in which folder ?
[12:39] <ce_inginkasih_de> da yang dari indonesia g???
[12:39] <hischild> brambo, OSD = onscreen display
[12:39] <ce_inginkasih_de> mau nanya niee
[12:39] <dann> nothing concerning vlc is installed in synap
[12:39] <Da_Putzler> ... /usr/share/pixmaps for icons
[12:40] <pajamian> brambo: do this: sudo su -c 'echo "deb http://apt.rigsofrods.com/ Packages" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rigsofrods.list'
[12:40] <LoLLo> yee thx !
[12:40] <hischild> dann, does it say with what package it is conflicting?
[12:40] <dann> nope
[12:40] <brambo> pajamian: ok done
[12:40] <Da_Putzler> dann: go here: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html
[12:40] <pajamian> brambo: sudo apt-get update
[12:41] <fastfinger> Anyone have any ideas regarding my problems? :<
[12:41] <pope> Soud will not play through the onboard speakers of my Toshiba Satellite Notebook, however with headphones plugged in, sound does work.  How can I enable both the headphone jack, and the notebooks speakres?
[12:41] <brambo> pajamian: E: Malformed line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rigsofrods.list (dist parse)
[12:41] <dookdook> sorry for the noob question: how do i find out where the binaries of the apt-get'd package i got are?
[12:41] <ce_inginkasih_de> haloo alll
[12:41] <ce_inginkasih_de> help me
[12:41] <dann> but I think it's best to reinstall or restore because I also get errors on startup
[12:41] <hischild> !anyone | ce_inginkasih_de
[12:41] <ubotu> ce_inginkasih_de: 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?
[12:41] <Da_Putzler> did u install anything weird ? or fiddle with something lately ?
[12:42] <LoLLo> is there a way to delete the white arrow of the link paja ? ?
[12:42] <pajamian> brambo: sorry, try this...
[12:42] <dann> I only deleted things
[12:42] <Nitroray> HIschild - Did not worked (rebooting I mean)
[12:42] <pajamian> brambo: do this: sudo su -c 'echo "deb http://apt.rigsofrods.com/ / Packages" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rigsofrods.list'
[12:42] <dann> gstreamer stuff
[12:42] <Da_Putzler> dann: what things ?
[12:42] <dann> but I think I deleted the wrong things
[12:42] <Da_Putzler> u tried installing gstreamer again and then installing vlc...
[12:42] <hischild> Nitroray, i was afraid of that ... i'm afraid i have to pass it on since i'm out of things :(
[12:42] <dann> Everything concerning gstreamer
[12:42] <dann> yeh, gstreamer gives even weirder errors
[12:43] <Nitroray> Hischild - Btw, what's the diffrence between the Xserver Client??, GNOME, and others ?
[12:43] <Da_Putzler> dann: yeh, sound like u need a fresh install... something's went wrong
[12:43] <hischild> Nitroray, one thing you could try is setting it to custom ..
[12:43] <Nitroray> only the look ?
[12:43] <Nitroray> Hischild - How ?
[12:43] <hischild> Nitroray, the basics on how they are build ...
[12:43] <brambo> pajamian: i did that, now its back to the desktop:~$
[12:43] <pajamian> LoLLo: not sure off the top of my head, that arrow shows that it's a symbolic link, and it's generally a good thing that it's there.
[12:43] <Nitroray> Hischild - How to set it custom ?
[12:43] <hischild> Nitroray, system -> preferences -> appearance -> there's that option of full or sth like that? there should be an option custom
[12:43] <pajamian> brambo: sudo apt-get update
[12:43] <legend2440> dookdook: /var/cache/apt/archives
[12:44] <Nitroray> Hischild - Thanks
[12:44] <Da_Putzler> dann: thing is, if you dont necessarily use something, you dont have to remove it completely unless it's a silly program or utility...
[12:44] <LoLLo> okz
[12:44] <hischild> brb ... switching pc's
[12:44] <brambo> pajamian: still Malformed line 1 in source list
[12:44] <dann> Hmmm ok
[12:44] <pajamian> brambo: one min...
[12:44] <dann> first time linux
[12:44] <dann> so itś all kinda new
[12:44] <dann> :D
[12:44] <hischild> bk
[12:44] <brambo> pajamian: np ty
[12:45] <Da_Putzler> tis kewl...  check out Ubuntu Tweak and BUM (Boot-up Manager) if u wanna tweak settings and make things faster tho...
[12:45] <dookdook> legend2440, theres nothing there besides an empty partial dir. and a lock file
[12:45] <dann> Ill check it out
[12:45] <dann> thanks for the help
[12:45] <LoLLo> paja another thing ... i've some folder which are necessary for the running of some programs ( like skype etc etc ) and currently them are in my desktop ... well , is there a specific folder that could contain them ? ( like usr/share but i'm not sure )
[12:46] <Da_Putzler> and if u wanna really speedup Firefox, type this in terminal: "MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1 firefox &"
[12:46] <netcrash> Hello with dapper drake , heartbeat-2 how can I know witch packages it will install ?
[12:47] <X-Seti> <- Keith_Mc-kay
[12:47] <legend2440> dookdook if you use synaptic or apt-get to download packages they go in /var/cache/apt/archives unless you did a apt-get clean
[12:47] <willis_> the package manager tool can give a lot of info on packages.
[12:47] <X-Seti> im on the server box now with the screenmode 800x600
[12:47] <pajamian> brambo: what do you get from: cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rigsofrods.list
[12:47] <khalood> hey , is there any simple or video tutorial for installing ubuntu with UNetBootin ???
[12:47] <khalood> I already have the iso downloaded
[12:47] <X-Seti> Johnny_5.
[12:47] <Marbug> I'm using gnome and all aplications from kde uses klauncher, so I'm getting the error: "cannot talk to klauncher", how to solve that problem ?
[12:48] <dookdook> legend2440, i've only done apt-get install and apt-get update...i'm also on an internet tablet if thats relevant
[12:48] <LoLLo> paja another thing ... i've some folder which are necessary for the running of some programs ( like skype etc etc ) and currently them are in my desktop ... well , is there a specific folder that could contain them ? ( like usr/share but i'm not sure )
[12:48] <brambo> pajamian: deb http://apt.rigsofrods.com/ / Packages
[12:48] <pajamian> LoLLo: I'm not aware that skype actually requires you to have certain folders on your desktop, I think it would be pretty dumb for any program to actually make that a requirement.
[12:48] <Nitroray> Hischild - HOw to ask others about my problem,???
[12:49] <willis_> pajamian,  ive not noticed that requirement either.
[12:49] <X-Seti> cool. i dont remember registering here.
[12:49] <khalood> any help please ???
[12:49] <hischild> folks of this almighty channel .... Nitroray has a mouse that dissapears for no reason in compiz ....
[12:49] <hischild> Nitroray, sth like that? :P
