[10:57] <rip_> actually is there a better option than unrar?

[10:57] <Kohvihoor> has anyone successfully done multiseat in ubuntu?
[10:57] <Aldus> thank you very much Jippen

[10:58] <benkamin> Hi! can hard links work on ntfs external drive?
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> blup: i'd read dmesg | less to make sure your system is all coming online nicely
[10:59] <Jippen> benkamin: No. ntfs links are not compatible with ext3 links
[10:59] <ActionParsnip> !ntfs3g | benkamin
[10:59] <blup> yes actionparsnip, everything ok
[10:59] <blup> actionparsnip the networks is in good shape, The system reboots but no way to turn it off...
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> Jippen: wouldnt it just be a file on the FS?
[11:00] <benkamin> so if i do "cp -al" in a ntfs disk it will just simply copy the files?
[11:00] <blup> I installed with WUBI
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> blup: sudo shutdown -h now
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> blup: :( @ wubi
[11:00] <blup> ok..I'm on another computer so I can tell you what happen
[11:00] <Jippen> action> No, links do some odd things.
[11:00] <blizzle> benkamin, Also you might want to look at ntfs-config. sudo aptitude install ntfs-config
[11:01] <zxd> packages in universe and multiverse and restricted don't conflict with packages in main correct?
[11:01] <GridSimForNow> Hello guys, anyone using GridSim ? I need some help !!!
[11:01] <maheshkumar19041> hi for all I am mahesh i am done one fuleshens thing on my pendrive. i am using the scandis 4GB pendrive and i am changed that valume after the mounting is as vfat(Fat16 in linux) when i plug it after that it shows the message the filesystem is no supported to the system. how i can recove and format it but it can workd onthe Windows-XP i tride to formate it for recover from autorun.inf virus. It formated and works but unable to recove for autorun v
[11:01] <blizzle> zxd, Correct.
[11:01] <benkamin> thx
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> zxd: correct
[11:01] <ziroday> maheshkumar19041: you probably want to format it with gparted
[11:02] <blizzle> zxd, If you want more granular (manual) dependency resolution, use aptitude instead of apt-get. Just a thought.
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> maheshkumar19041: you may want to install ntfs-tools
[11:02] <maheshkumar19041> How can format my Pendrive or removibal storage devices
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> !info ntfs-tools
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> its something like that
[11:02] <ziroday> maheshkumar19041: install the package gparted and use that
[11:02] <gwark> is the freeze and caps lock flashing on and off a wireless-related error???
[11:03] <GridSimForNow> Hello guys, anyone using "GridSim" ? I need some help !!!
[11:03] <Jippen> I've never even heard of that before.
[11:03] <maheshkumar19041> thany u and any other way
[11:04] <ziroday> GridSimForNow: you may have better luck using the gridsim mailing list. Thats a pretty specialist app.
[11:04] <ziroday> maheshkumar19041: what is wrong with the ways given to you?
[11:04] <maheshkumar19041> not at all but the tool is unable to download for my mobile net
[11:05] <blup> ActionParsnip: it says that shutdown -h is not a valid command
[11:05] <GridSimForNow> ziroday : thanks... just wanted to see, any immadiate help...
[11:05] <Jippen> blup > try "sudo shutdown -h"
[11:05] <blizzle> blup, sudo shutdown -h 0 (or now)
[11:05] <blup> ActionParsnip: and it says me to try shutdown --help for further info
[11:05] <ziroday> maheshkumar19041: well there is fdisk, however its a command line too and can be tricky. I strongly recommend you try gparted
[11:05] <mattis> I have installed KDE on top of Gnome, is there a graphical way of changing between desktop managers?
[11:05] <leo> Just plugged in my logitech webcam into computer (fresh ubuntu install) it does not seem to work, how do I fix it?
[11:05] <blizzle> blup, note the value after the -h
[11:05] <ziroday> leo: do you know what the model is?
[11:05] <kop_> since when does kill -9 <pid> not exterinate a process
[11:06] <blup> ok
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> blup: sudo shutdown -h now
[11:06] <leo> ziroday, I can find out
[11:06] <ziroday> kop: it should, with the correct permissions, what process?
[11:06] <maheshkumar19041> thanks to ziroday
[11:06] <blizzle> kop_, If you don't have the privs required to kill it. try sudo kill..
[11:06] <ziroday> leo: that would be great
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> kop_: if its not your own process ou will need sudo
[11:06] <jado> how can i add my windows partition to the grub menu using the grub editor ?
[11:06] <kop_> blizzle, that was the first choice
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> !grub | jado
[11:06] <blizzle> jado, sudo apt-get install ntfs-config
[11:07] <blizzle> jado, Forget that, misread your q.
[11:07] <leo> ziroday: it looks like QuickCam® Connect™
[11:07] <blup> ActionParsnip: I heard the HDD that goes to sleep...Ubuntu logo was there but then I have a black screen
[11:07] <kop_> ActionParsnip, nice to see you again and I'm just considering a bigger hammer
[11:07] <leo> ziroday: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/webcam_communications/webcams/devices/4266&cl=ca,en
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> kop_: never a bad idea, just watch its not too big
[11:07] <blizzle> blup: Try ctrl+alt+f1-f7
[11:08] <jado> ActionParsnip: i restored grub but it does not display the windows entry
[11:08] <Jippen> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=309064 <-- old, but still accurate
[11:08] <blup> blizzle: i rebooted
[11:08] <ziroday> leo: okay, in a terminal try do sudo modprobe quickcam
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> jado: then you need an extra entry using the chainloader If you read /boot/grub/menu.lst you will see an example which you can copy / paste to the active part of grub to get the boot in there
[11:08] <blizzle> blup, sudo shutdown -r 0 will reboot rather than halt your system.
[11:08] <G-Blunted> anyone know if i can print to a printer on another computer not through LAN but through the internet??
[11:09] <error404notfound> can someone help me to setup my modem on HP Compaq 6720s. I tried linmodem mailing list, but every email just bounces..
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> jado: the grub factoid link should also be able to help
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> G-Blunted: sure, you just need some port forwarding setting up
[11:09] <jado> can't i use the grub editor ?
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> jado: ive not used it

[11:10] <kop_> ActionParsnip, any other good ideas besides the ubiquitous windows fix ?
[11:10] <blizzle> Jewbacca, Ask here, people will help. No need for private messaging. Just ensure you prefix your sentences with the name of the person you're addressing.
[11:10] <Jippen> mahesh> sadly, windows will overwrite the MBR, forcing you to re-install grub every time you do that
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> maheshkumar19041: you will only have to reinstall grub to the boot sector as windows will write over the existing one, the linux install will still stand as long as you do not touch its partitions
[11:11] <Jewbacca> ok hmm my friend connect to the internet via username and password, how to set them on ubuntu?
[11:11] <leo> ziroday: http://pastebin.com/m51d3cf98

[11:12] <Jippen> ddoom Yes, its pretty easy, actually

[11:12] <jado> ok

[11:13] <deany> Watson2k9, you have to unlock it
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> Watson2k9: use sudo / gksudo if you need admin power
[11:13] <blizzle> Jewbacca, Open a terminal and type ifconfig
[11:13] <Watson2k9> Actionparsnip : no its grayed out
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> !grub | maheshkumar19041
[11:13] <blup> ActionParsnip: so no way to make work that red button to shutdown?
[11:13] <leo> ziroday: oh.. ok... I was going to the fridge :)
[11:14] <deany> I assume you are wantin to add your user to the vbox group
[11:14] <jado> ActionParsnip: the grub editor is asking me to much things i don't know about : Kernel (File) ; Arguments
[11:14] <Watson2k9> i am the only person on my ubuntu
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> jado: well for the windows one it doesnt have kernel / options etc

[11:16] <deany> Ok someone answer me this one..  Got ubuntu 8.10 running in vbox, i have a few server components installed so its using 132mb approx on bootup.  Now i installed xubuntu-desktop and rebooted, choose xfce as the default and booted into xfce.. Its using approx 40mb more ram, and System Monitor says Gnome 2.2.xxx
[11:16] <deany> whats that all about then....
[11:16] <leo_> Hello everyone...can I ask a Neverwinters night question here?
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> jado: i'd read the menu file, its a bit simpler. Sometimes guis ask too much
[11:16] <ddoom> Jippen: thanks
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> leo_: if its to do with running it in wine, i'd suggest #winehq
[11:16] <ziroday> deany: well you have xfce and gnome, your probably starting both services which can be counter productive. Try removing ubuntu-desktop to get rid if the ubuntu desktop components leaving you with xubuntu-desktop
[11:17] <Watson2k9> gar still not working
[11:17] <leo> ActionParsnip: running what on wine? skype?
[11:17] <leo_> no actually I was wondering if I can run it without wine
[11:17] <leo> ziroday: how do I run cheese once I installed it?
[11:17] <ziroday> leo: just type cheese into the terminal
[11:17] <jado> ActionParsnip: the configuration is finished, i'll try and reboot
[11:18] <deany> Is that why i have gnome system monitor in apps menu
[11:18] <Watson2k9> my root is still greyed out aand i cant get the sudo command to work
[11:18] <leo_> ActionParsnip, no actually I was wondering if I can run it without wine

[11:18] <ziroday> leo: hmph
[11:19] <fluitfries> is there a way to output the model of my motherboard and graphics card from within Ubuntu?  thanks.
[11:19] <Watson2k9> can anyone help me with virtual box ?
[11:19] <archman> leo_: i believe you can't, if it's windows-only
[11:19] <leo> ziroday: and camera's light isnt on, so it's not being really used I guess
[11:19] <carpii> fluit, theres a system info app on your start menu

[11:19] <leo_> ActionParsnip, thanx
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> rip_: wireshark maybe
[11:19] <ziroday> leo: according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeWebCams it should just work
[11:20] <rip_> ActionParsnip: thats just a protocol analyzer to my knowledge
[11:20] <fluitfries> carpii: ok, that tells the exact mode?
[11:20] <fluitfries> *model
[11:20] <leo_> ActionParsnip, so then I can run it without a win emulator?
[11:21] <carpii> im not sure, but itd be a good place to start
[11:21] <fluitfries> k
[11:21] <ActionParsnip> leo_: yeah man should be ok, WINE isnt an emulator btw
[11:21] <leo_> ActionParsnip, what is it then I am new to all this stuff...
[11:22] <bauer_> how do i supress the "has joined" messages in xchat irc ?
[11:22] <carpii> right click the tab
[11:22] <archman> leo_ seems like you need to insert your game cd and start that file you got
[11:22] <student> d
[11:22] <student> ...
[11:23] <student> z
[11:23] <student> ds
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> leo_: *W*ine *I*s *N*ot an *E*mulator
[11:23] <Jippen> is there a way to force a write on a file in a read-only fs? My system doesn't like my /etc/fstab options, but it won't let me change them to something it likes
[11:23] <jado> ActionParsnip: when i click on the entry i've added "windows xp" nothing happens
[11:23] <leo_> archman, yea I have ubuntu 8.10 and I am going to get the game today. I just want to make sure I can play it before I buy ....
[11:23] <archman> leo_: nwn_1.68-english.update.run you need this first, and then nwn_1.29-multilanguage-2.run :-/
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> jado: then you need to review your setting, I'd look at menu.lst
[11:24] <Aldo> sorry Jippen but those utils look too complex for what I need...
[11:24] <Aldo> I just need  a command line ftp client that allows me to get a full remote folder
[11:24] <Jippen> aldo: ???
[11:24] <Aldo> not only a file
[11:24] <archman> leo_ oh, that...well, i don't recommend you buying before trying in on linux, there is slight a chance it wont work...
[11:24] <jado> ActionParsnip: title Windows XP '\n' root (hd0,3) ; this is my menu.lst for the windows entry
[11:24] <deany> ActionParsnip, simple remove ubuntu-desktop didnt remove anything,  ive run tasksel and its not got an * there for it so i just went "OK" to let it do whatever and its removing it all now.. we`ll see if i have a usable desktop when its done
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> leo_: http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-c9e6502ad636315e905d07f7e44594757a6738e3
[11:25] <Jippen> aldo: Oh. The 'ftp' command should be able to do that
[11:25] <leo_> archman, how am I supose to try it before I buy it/
[11:25] <archman> leo_ khm**
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> jado: you need chainloader +1 in there too, look around the file, there are examples
[11:26] <archman> leo_ i'm not trying to promote piracy here, but...
[11:26] <leo_> archman, lol
[11:26] <archman> leo_ you'll end up ":(" if you buy it and if you cant get it to work
[11:26] <Jippen> most eulas are broken if you loan the game to a friend. Which is just as bad as piracy as far as game companies are concerned
[11:27] <leo_> Ok Action and archman thanx for all your info....
[11:27] <archman> leo_ try the iso from the net, if your game works, delete the downloaded game, and go buy thegame
[11:28] <archman> leo_ simple as that
[11:28] <leo_> archman, ok I just might do that thanx...
[11:28] <archman> leo_ welcome!

[11:46] <jado> sorry ActionParsnip i was disconnected did you say something ?
[11:46] <themime> i compiled a madwifi driver, it worked perfectly, updated ubuntu, it got a new kernel, it stopped working, i recompiled it, and now it gives an error when it loads, "FATAL: Error inserting ath_pci: Unknown symbol in module, or unknown paramter blah blahblah" so I check dmesg and its complaining a lot about ieeeXXX.  my question is, how do i completely remove all traces of a module compilation?
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> jado: just wondering how you reached the goal. I dont use the guis for that reason, they never do a full job imho
[11:48] <foges> Hey people, i did something seriously stupid, i just organised my whole music collection on my computer  and the managed to delete it. can someone please give me the name of a utility that can do data recovery (ext3 formated), thanks
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> foges: foremost is ok
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> !info foremost
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> foges: easier to restore from backup though
[11:49] <foges> thanks, will look for it
[11:49] <themime> ls
[11:49] <themime> er
[11:50] <foges> :) yeah i know. i do have a backup, but its a while since i backed up last and have a bit of new music, plus my backup isnt sorted very well
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> foges: well hopefully the backup can fill the gaps in the data you cant recover
[11:50] <tkdryan> ActionParsnip: my conneciton was lost, would like to retry....
[11:51] <jado> ActionParsnip: the gui asked if i want a chainloader but as i didn't know what that means i just left it blank
[11:51] <ActionParsnip> jado: yeah thats what kicks off the boot
[11:52] <Blinkiz> Hi. Does it exist a easy tool to push ssh public key to machines in my network? From the command prompt...
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> tkdryan: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-173; gksudo nvidia-settings
[11:52] <kop_> jado, chainloading is using grub to load another boot process
[11:53] <jado> ok thanks
[11:53] <tkdryan> got that part, when i run gksudo it just opens the "NVIDIA X Server Settings" gui window
[11:53] <tkdryan> *gksudo nvidia-settings
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> tkdryan: try: sudo nvidia-xconfig
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> tkdryan: then restart x
[11:55] <tkdryan> ok hold on
[11:55] <kop_> linux-image <IP_ADDRESS>.27_i386.deb ---- I smell a reboot coming
[11:56] <themime> a re...boot?  whats that?
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> themime: needed to boot a new kernel
[11:56] <themime> haha
[11:57] <kop_> ActionParsnip, I'm a lil behind on my maint
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> kop_: i have a cron job that runs full updates with force all yes that runs at 4am
[11:58] <kop_> ActionParsnip, old habit , I'd rather watch
[11:59] <tkdryan> ActionParsnip: seems to be no change so far, just ran sudo nvidia-xconfig and restarted x
[11:59] <themime> this is the last time i get a new kernel.  messing up my wifi drivers and all
[12:00] <kjell> That sounds unwise.
[12:00] <kjell> Not upgrading to a new kernel.
[12:00] <kshadow> themime: What wifi device do you use?
[12:00] <Omar87> What is the command to show the current running processes?
[12:00] <kjell> Omar87: ps
[12:00] <wiijii> Morning all. Anyone have any recommendations for a UK web hosting service? For a small business
[12:00] <ActionParsnip> tkdryan: ok, now run gksudo nvidia-settings
[12:00] <kshadow> wiijii: godaddy.com?
[12:00] <kop_> themime, I hear ya , I have some odd hardware here that looks at new kernels like they were the end of the world
[12:01] <tkdryan> that still just opens the nvidia settings gui
[12:01] <Omar87> kjell: But is doesn't show me everything, it shows only two processes: bash and ps.
[12:01] <wiijii> kshadow Will check 'em out, I've heard a few people have had customer service issues with them, what d'you think?
[12:01] <kjell> Omar87: If you want to show more processes there you can run ps -e (I think its -e)
[12:01] <kshadow> wiijii: I find them great.
[12:02] <themime> i compiled madwifi drivers earlier today, got em working just fine right off the bat, did a general update for ubuntu (new install from yesterday) and it put a new kernel in place and it just flat out stopped working.  i tired recompiling them, and now it won't even modprobe
[12:02] <kjell> Omar87: If you want to find a specific one you can run ps -e | grep firefox <- for an example
[12:02] <kshadow> wiijii: I haven't had any issues at all, and the people who've recommended me to usethem haven't either.
[12:02] <wiijii> OK, nice :D
[12:02] <leo> I have several files and a directory that I want to place in one archive, howdo I tar gzip it or whatever?
[12:02] <themime> leo: "man tar"
[12:02] <themime> or "man gzip"
[12:02] <wiijii> kshadow are they UK based?
[12:03] <kshadow> wiijii: Not so much.
[12:03] <Omar87> kjell: Thanks a lot.
[12:03] <kjell> Omar87: If you want to know more about a command it's always wise to use the manual. Type "man ps" if you want to read ps's manual. It has explanation of the -e switch etc.
[12:03] <kshadow> leo: tar -czvf FILENAME.tar.gz folder
[12:03] <guest> hhhhhheeeeelllppppp, by mistake i set resulotion to 300x300 so now i can do anything...now im logged as guest :p

[12:04] <dennda> In what intervals does tomboy sync my notes with my local folder (which is actually a remote folder mounted via sshfs)?
[12:04] <kshadow> guest: You mean you set your Xorg.conf file to it?

[12:05] <mylisto> having a problem with video playback..
[12:05] <ziroday> guest: how did you set your resolution?
[12:05] <mylisto> video is going very slow...like in slow motion
[12:05] <guest> ziroday: on system--->management and screen seperation or resulotion
[12:05] <themime> woooo i fixed my wifi driver issue.  cd /lib/modules/%kernelhere%/net; rm -f * -> restart -> recompile.  oh, and removed the restricted drivers for good measure
[12:05] <kshadow> guest: ALT+CTRL++
[12:05] <ziroday> guest: well then change it back from there
[12:06] <guest> ziroday: but the screen is 300x300 i cant see anything
[12:06] <guest> kshadow: what does that do?
[12:06] <ziroday> themime: recompiling your kernel is really recommended
[12:06] <kshadow> Makes the resolution bigger.,
[12:06] <guest> thanks i will test that
[12:06] <ziroday> guest: you can use the xrandr command to it back
[12:06] <foges> ActionParsnip: is there any way to recover folders and not only files?
[12:06] <themime> ziroday: i recompiled my madwifi drivers...  recompiling the kernel for what purpose?
[12:06] <ziroday> themime: sorry misread :)
[12:06] <leo> Can someone give me a command for archiving files?
[12:07] <themime> ziroday: oh hehe np
[12:07] <leo> tar dos ot seem to compress at all
[12:07] <kshadow> leo: Tar is not compression, gzip is.
[12:07] <themime> leo: are you wanting to archive and not compress?
[12:07] <ziroday> leo: http://www.linux.com/feature/47751
[12:08] <themime> kshadow: as far as i knew, you could use tar to archive and not compress
[12:08] <ActionParsnip> foges: read this
[12:08] <ActionParsnip> !recover | foges
[12:08] <kshadow> themime: Tar is for archiving, but it does not compress.
[12:09] <guest> kshadow: it didnt work
[12:09] <ziroday> leo: that article has a good explanation of the difference
[12:09] <ziroday> guest: did you try using xrandr?
[12:09] <guest> whats that ziroday
[12:09] <tkdryan> need help getting geforce 5200 fx working at full performance in 8.10
[12:09] <kshadow> guest: man xrandr
[12:09] <ziroday> guest: its a terminal command to change the resolution
[12:09] <guest> ziroday: i have a screen which is 300x300, its like the size of a desktop icon
[12:09] <themime> kshadow: thats what he wanted though, archiving and not compressing.  but you can use -z to compress as well
[12:10] <guest> ziroday: but i cant see the terminal on that resulotion
[12:10] <ziroday> guest: you can the window around with ctrl+alt+left click and drag
[12:10] <leo_> my webcam is tooo adrk, is there anythig I can do to fix the settings?
[12:10] <guest> ziroday: i have 1 window D:
[12:10] <kshadow> leo_: Open camorama or something.
[12:11] <ziroday> guest: one window?
[12:11] <guest> ziroday: whats the cmd to set resolution?
[12:11]  * themime is off to bed now
[12:11] <guest> ziroday: sudo xrandr ???

[12:12] <kshadow> G-Blunted: People come here because they need help.
[12:12] <kshadow> Some of them have searched google and some of them have not.
[12:12] <kshadow> But this is a help channel all the same.
[12:12] <ziroday> guest: just open up the screen resolution dialog and change it their, by moving around with left click+ctrl+alt
[12:12] <tkdryan> <<< has searched google
[12:12] <G-Blunted> ya but lots of them havn't tried google yet and it's obvious :)
[12:12] <ziroday> guest: or type in grandr
[12:12] <guest> ziroday: i told you the size of the screen is 300x300 i cant see anything
[12:12] <G-Blunted> lol 300x300
[12:12] <G-Blunted> thats really small

[12:12] <kshadow> G-Blunted: Lazy people still desrve help too. :)
[12:13] <guest> ziroday: i need a cmd to change reso
[12:13] <kshadow> guest: What DE do you use?
[12:13] <guest> kshadow: DE?
[12:13] <olavimmanuel> are there any files in /var/www, or can i delete it (have some configured files there that went wrong) and reinstall lighttpd?
[12:13] <kshadow> Desktop Environment.
[12:13] <guest> kshadow: gnume
[12:13] <ziroday> guest: try xrandr --auto
[12:13] <guest> ok
[12:14] <ziroday> tkdryan: did you install the drivers?
[12:14] <tkdryan> yessir
[12:14] <tkdryan> 173.14.12
[12:14] <voland> Is there abybody who use Gladex?
[12:14] <tkdryan> fresh install today
[12:14] <kshadow> guest: Try pushing ALT+F2, then type xrandr -s 800x600
[12:14] <voland> *anybody
[12:14] <ziroday> tkdryan: then what more do you want?
[12:14] <kshadow> I don't know if ALT+F2 runs the run dialog in gnome, but it does in XFCE.
[12:14] <tkdryan> desktop effects worked earlier, stopped after reboot
[12:14] <G-Blunted> any of you play any of these linux games?
[12:15] <kshadow> G-Blunted: I play nethack.
[12:15] <ziroday> tkdryan: how did you install the drivers?
[12:15] <G-Blunted> what is that
[12:15] <ziroday> G-Blunted: what games are you looking for?
[12:15] <G-Blunted> !nethack
[12:15] <G-Blunted> nothin in particular...just lookin to see if anyone would recommend a good game they like :)
[12:15] <G-Blunted> i'm lookin for somethin to try out
[12:15] <kshadow> G-Blunted: It's the best roguelike :)
[12:15] <ziroday> G-Blunted: rts, fps. rpg ?
[12:15] <G-Blunted> hmm...multiplayer
[12:15] <kshadow> OpenArena is a good FPS.
[12:16] <tkdryan> at first it seemed to find them on its own, also downloaded off of nvidia.com, and synaptic package manager
[12:16] <G-Blunted> rts, fps, or rpg
[12:16] <ziroday> G-Bleezy: try urban terror, its a fun fps
[12:16] <G-Blunted> long as i can play online
[12:16] <kshadow> Urban Terror is awesome.
[12:16] <rascal999> i have ubuntu on my laptop and the hdd light is always flashing, is this alright?
[12:16] <G-Blunted> okay i will try urban terror
[12:16] <ziroday> tkdryan: well can you remove any previous attempts please
[12:16] <tkdryan> installed all updates for OS, installed compiz
[12:16] <G-Blunted> woot compiz
[12:16] <ziroday> rascal999: why would you think thats bad?
[12:16] <tkdryan> how do i do that
[12:16] <rascal999> because its wasting battery power
[12:17] <leo> I want to archive and compress
[12:17] <rascal999> the lid is closed, it shouldn't be needing to access the hdd right now
[12:17] <Jewbacca> kshadow: i did xrandr -s 1024x768 and it worked ;D thanks
[12:17] <Jewbacca> you too ziroday
[12:17] <kshadow> Jewbacca: No problem.
[12:17] <kshadow> leo: What kind of archive you want?
[12:17] <jelly12gen> rascal999: compile a kernel , or switch to a lighter window manager
[12:17] <fluitfries> urban terror sounds sort of like a counter-strike game?
[12:17] <kshadow> fluitfries: It is.
[12:17] <kshadow> A lot like it.
[12:18]  * fluitfries doesn't like realistic fps.  :(
[12:18] <rascal999> jelly12gen: can i find out what it is doing?
[12:18] <kshadow> fluitfries: OpenArena is like Quake3.
[12:18] <fluitfries> kshadow: will look, thanks.
[12:18] <tkdryan> ziroday: how is that done?
[12:18] <G-Blunted> howcome urban terror doesn't show up in the add/remove programs?
[12:18] <kshadow> G-Blunted: Because it's probably not supported by ubuntu?
[12:18] <leo> kshadow: what choise do I have? I dont really know. I just want to put 1 folder an 2 files in a compressed archive
[12:19] <G-Blunted> oh
[12:19] <G-Blunted> i need an unbuntu supported game :)
[12:19] <sifo> helo
[12:19] <kshadow> leo: BZ2 is your best bet... so:
[12:19] <kshadow> tar -cjvf FILE.BZ2 DIRECTORY_YOU_WANT_TO_COMPRESS/
[12:19] <ziroday> tkdryan: well the issue is probably because you have conflicting drivers on your system. Remove them all and just install the ones from Hardware Drivers
[12:20] <kshadow> G-Blunted: http://www.urbanterror.net/page.php?6
[12:20] <Jewbacca> why i cant set refresh 85hz on 1024x768 while i could do that on xp ?
[12:20] <ziroday> rascal999: possibly could be https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pm-utils/+bug/59695
[12:20] <tkdryan> ziroday: have not removed drivers in linux before, how can I do that?
[12:20] <ziroday> tkdryan: well you installed the drivers from nvidia.com right?
[12:20] <kshadow> Jewbacca: You have to set the proper stuff up in your xorg.conf
[12:21] <tkdryan> yes
[12:21] <Acedip> how to know the specifications of your inbuilt graphics driver ???????
[12:21] <Jewbacca> kshadow: what do you mean?
[12:21] <leo> kshadow: thanks
[12:21] <ziroday> Acedip: specifications as in what?
[12:22] <ziroday> tkdryan: well follow the instructions to remove them. You shouldn't have installed them from nvidia.com
[12:22] <tkdryan> ziroday: yes
[12:22] <tkdryan> ok then
[12:22] <kshadow> Gotta go, can't explaoin.
[12:23] <ziroday> tkdryan: here is how you are meant to install it https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[12:23] <Acedip> ziroday, the details of that hardware
[12:24] <Acedip> ziroday, what ever is required to trouble shoot if u have problems with it,..
[12:24] <Jewbacca> why i cant set refresh 85hz on 1024x768 while i could do that on xp ?
[12:25] <Nightchill> can someone helpe out? i'm having difficulties with my logitech usb headset & alsa. i can hear the sound, but it's full of crackling noise so how do i make it stop making that horrid noise?
[12:25] <ziroday> Acedip: I can't understand what you want sorry. You can find your model with lspci | grep VGA
[12:25] <carpii> Jewbacca, check your xorg.conf, maybe your monitor settings in there suggest its not capable
[12:25] <Jewbacca> carpii: my xorg.conf isnt show me anything :p
[12:25] <MikeMaxwell2501> hey all.  anyone know a good mp3 to mpeg 4 converter for linux? ubuntu?

[12:33] <tomek__> hi, can you tell me where NetBeans installs Tomcat server?
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> tomek__: try /usr/local/tomcat
[12:35] <Jewbacca> why i cant set refresh 85hz on 1024x768 while i could do that on xp ?
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: add the res to xorg.conf
[12:36] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: its a totally different OS so wont be the same as XP
[12:36] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: my hz atm is 50
[12:36] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: i will be blind by the end of the month
[12:36] <tomek__> when i installed tomcat it was there, but i romve it and install NetBeans with Tomcat
[12:36] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: all i want is bigger refresh rate, and i dont understand what you are saying about the xorg
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: look at how xorg.conf sets resolutions and add the relevant data
[12:37] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: i went there and i dont see it
[12:37] <jrib> !x | Jewbacca
[12:37] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: i will upload it on pastebin 1 min

[12:43] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: i dont understand this guid, too much codes :(
[12:43] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: you need to add stuff to your xor.conf like that the 1024x768_75.00 will run at 1024x768 at 75hz refresh
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: you may want to run kdesudo nvidia-settings
[12:44] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: can i put 85hz? and also where to put it there
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: in the screen section
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: you need to wrestle this to get the display you want

[12:47] <true\false> Bad idea to install XP apps to the same place as I'm installing Ubuntu apps?
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: read the link i gave and you can then add some settings to the xorg.conf file, restart x and you will get the display you want

[12:52] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: after 1 month of trying i will do it myself but atm i dont want to fuck something
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: you have a screen section in xorg.conf, it sets up the screen.
[12:52] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: yea i understand that
[12:52] <souldure> i have a 256 meg nvidia card and the compiz efects lag a bit
[12:52] <erbi> http://www.prism.gatech.edu/~bpark6/ECE/Example_Plane_Wave_Problem.pdf does anybody know how the H(r) is calculated under Solution: section?
[12:52] <fer_luck> hey guys!
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: i gave you a sample screen which has the subsection part you need which will give you 75h refresh
[12:52] <fer_luck> anyone here uses inotify (incron)??
[12:52] <souldure> and i have glx ias module in the xorg config?
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: you need to add that subsection
[12:52] <carpii> erbi, try efnet #maths
[12:52] <ActionParsnip> god i HATE SPOONFEEDING
[12:52] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: i add it and it say i cant edit that file
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: its owned by root
[12:53] <marlun-work> What is the name of the keyboard typing trainer available in the ubuntu repositories?
[12:53] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: sudo nautilus?
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:53] <fer_luck> anyone?
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: dont use sudo nautilus
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: you should use gksudo nautilus if at all but its better to launch the app to edit a file with root instead of the whole file manager
[12:54] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: ok
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: gksudo is for gui apps like gedit
[12:55] <Cadair> hey, does anyone know how I can fix my problem with video?
[12:55] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: now what? reset?
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: sudo is only for command line apps like apt-get and cp
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: you may need to add some ifo for your monitor too, read the guide again
[12:55] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: omg...i told you i dont understand the guid
[12:56] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: the monitor is killing my eyes, can you tell me what to do and when it will be better i will read the guid and learn it?
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: you need to add the lines that specify horizontal and vertical refresh just like in the guide
[12:58] <somina> how should i set permissions to be able to share directory (ie give full access) with other members of the group which directory belongs to
[12:58] <tonymk> how can i resise my partition ? while installing ubuntu
[12:58] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: dude....my eyes are hurting from 50hz :((((((( its impossible to read and think plz help me and i will learn everything i promise
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: if you get it wrong you wont get a display and will have to boot to recovery root console to haul settings back
[12:58] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: i just want to fix this shit refresh rate
[12:58] <jrib> !permissions > somina
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: its there in black and white dude, LITERALLY
[12:58] <somina> jrib: thanks
[12:58] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: but i dont understand all those cmds and i will get it wrong
[12:59] <ciphergoth> An error message contains something that looks a bit like a pipeline, but isn't: "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 \! audioconvert \! audioresample \! gconfaudiosink profile=music"
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: you need to add the bits about the monitor refres rates
[12:59] <jrib> Jewbacca: then read what was sent to you, process it, write what you think will work, then pastebin before rebooting so it can be checked
[12:59] <ciphergoth> What command do I want to feed that to to make it run on the command line?  It's something to do with gstreamer I think
[13:00] <tonymk> how can i resise my partition ? while installing ubuntu  ?
[13:00] <tomek__> ActionParsnip, i found path, /home/tomek/apache_tomcat
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: its not a command, its text in a config file, there are examples there which fit your needs and i dont get why you need me to tell you stuff
[13:00] <Jewbacca> jrib: its a bit hard to READ WITH 50HZ WHEN MY EYES ALMOST BLEEDING ALSO NOTE THAT IM NEW TO UBUNTU AND I DONT UNDERSTAND EVEN FROM WHERE TO START IN THAT GUID
[13:00] <Nightchill> no need to shout^^
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: its all there for you
[13:00] <Jewbacca> also english is not my native lang
[13:01] <ViperBorg_TERM> Jewbacca: Dude, no need for the caps, bro.
[13:01] <Jewbacca> yea but its annoying that you tell me to learn why i dont even know what the cmds do
[13:01] <coroner> hi all
[13:01] <Jewbacca> im new to this and i could use guidness
[13:01] <erbi> does anybody here know emag ?
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: its not a command, its a copy and paste some text from the web to the xorg.conf
[13:01] <Jewbacca> thats what happen when im stuck with 50hz that makes my eyes bleed
[13:01] <jrib> Jewbacca: you aren't even trying.  Instead you are just hoping someone will do it for you, which is unfair to us
[13:02] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: what seems easy for you, might not seems easy for others
[13:02] <Jewbacca> jrib: believe me i tried
[13:02] <jrib> Jewbacca: then pastebin what you tried.
[13:02] <Jewbacca> jrib: i formatted 3 times
[13:02] <Jewbacca> 3 times cuz i fucked it
[13:02] <jrib> Jewbacca: please mind your language here
[13:02] <Jewbacca> you know what is 3 times installing it again
[13:02] <Jewbacca> its fine to learn by myself and everything ok
[13:02] <Jewbacca> but i cant do it by myself
[13:02] <Jewbacca> atlist not now
[13:02] <GuruDrew> haha Jewbacca, I like it
[13:03] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: if you can copy and paste text, you can do it
[13:03] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: what text there are side ntoes
[13:03] <ViperBorg_TERM> Jewbacca: Google is your friend: http://www.google.com/search?q=Force+Ubuntu+60Hz&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a
[13:03] <Jewbacca> like for kde type this
[13:03] <Jewbacca> wtf is kde
[13:03] <GuruDrew> Sorry to join in the middle of the convo, but that's a clever handle
[13:03] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: your xorg.conf has zero config all it says is that a monitor exists
[13:03] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: copy the lines from the link i gave you to your xorg.conf
[13:04] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: i cant say it any clearer
[13:04] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: my head starting to hurt ;(
[13:04] <somina> jrib: you linked me to basic guide, i know how to use chmod, but I still can't get this to work, would you mind if I elaborate?
[13:04] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: i dont understand
[13:04] <jrib> somina: sure
[13:04] <ViperBorg_TERM> Jewbacca: Take a look here: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2005-April/028624.html
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: ok we'll do this nice and slow
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: ok read your current xorg.conf file ok...
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: can you see where it says Section "Monitor"
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> ?
[13:05] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: second
[13:05] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: Section "Monitor"
[13:05] <Jewbacca> 	Identifier	"Configured Monitor"
[13:05] <Jewbacca> EndSection
[13:06] <Jewbacca> this?
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: yes, that is the monitor section
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: that is the config for your monitor
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: see how there is zero config in there
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: all that section currently states is that there is a monitor attachd to your system
[13:07] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: yes, so what i need is to configure it so it could use the reso and rate
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> nothing else
[13:08] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: so plz teach me how to configure my monitor ;(
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: if you read the forum i gave you you will see this text. I have pastebinned it so its less confusing for you
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: http://pastebin.com/m4c7fa169
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: see how there are 2 extra lines in that monitor section
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: desscribing horizontal and vertical refresh rates?
[13:09] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: ok
[13:09] <pallaz> Hi, good morning!
[13:09] <jrib> somina: ?
[13:10] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: whats CM752ET?
[13:10] <pallaz> i need help!
[13:10] <exla> akenet.org
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: your xorg.conf doesnt have those lines so you need to copy and paste it to your xorg.conf so you get the refresh rate you wanted
[13:10] <jrib> pallaz: just ask
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> !ask | pallaz
[13:10] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: so i need to copy what you gave me on pastebin?
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: just the lines about refresh rates
[13:10] <Jewbacca> and on display can i set 85hz and not 75 like you told me
[13:11] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: do i need to delete this line 	Identifier	"Configured Monitor"
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: i told you to do this 4 times now but you said you didnt understand
[13:11] <pallaz> ok, i have a problem with wallpaper on fluxbox...to set a default wallpaper (ubuntu 8,10)
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: no, you keep that line
[13:11] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: what
[13:11] <OriWB> Can somebody tell me how to get into this chatroom from pidgin?
[13:11] <CK-TECH> skype doesnt work in ubuntu 8.10 ?
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> pallaz: fbsetbg -f /path/to/somefile.png
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> OriWB: /j #ubuntu
[13:12] <Jewbacca> but ActionParsnip in the Identifier you wrote something else then i have
[13:12] <gcorvala> how can I know which packet i've installed on my box? ( not dependancies )
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> OriWB: you will need to create an account in pidgin to connect to irc.freenode.net
[13:13] <pallaz> ActionParsnip, yes, i write that..but i want to set default on startup
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> !skype | CK-TECH
[13:13] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: i will pastebin second
[13:13] <gcorvala> I want to cleanup my box (ie. I've installed xfce4, it install me a lot of paquet, now I want to remove the xfce4 meta package, how to clean up every dep ? )
[13:13] <souldure> im back guys
[13:13] <souldure> simple question
[13:13] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/d20ad415f
[13:13] <Krypton> hi guys, i am currently dualbooting xp and ubuntu, how can I remove the xp partition? When I run gparted inside ubuntu, ti says there is only one HD and I cant delete it. I dont mind delting ubuntu and reinstlaling it, but how can i remove XP?
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> pallaz: add the command to ~/.fluxbox/startup   make sure its above where fluxbox is launched and ensure it has a & at the end of the line
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: ok you havent added the refresh rate lines like i said
[13:14] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: cuz the first line you change it
[13:14] <suigeneris> Krypton, fdisk and remove the partition
[13:14] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: do i need to change the Identifier to what you gave me?
[13:14] <pallaz> ok, wait a second
[13:14] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: you wrote there CM752ET, whats that
[13:14] <Krypton> suigeneris: fdisk in ubuntu?
[13:14] <suigeneris> s/format/recreate
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: i willgive youo the section. this is taking too long and its getting really boring
[13:14] <suigeneris> Krypton, yes
[13:15] <Krypton> suigeneris: how?

[13:16] <Jewbacca>           Modes      "1024x768_75.00" to 85?
[13:16] <jrib> souldure: why would you *sudo* conky?
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: its a basic pc function
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: sure whatever
[13:16] <Jewbacca> ok
[13:16] <Krypton> I get this Unable to open /dev/hda
[13:16] <souldure> i have netstat in my conkyrc
[13:16] <Jewbacca> after i finished it, what i need to do? reset? ActionParsnip
[13:16] <souldure> andithas to run as root to work properly
[13:16] <suigeneris> Krypton, type fdisk -l

[13:19] <timahvo1_> can't get a transparent background on yakuake no matter what schema setting I try. any ideas anyone ?
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> souldure: you can just add: exec /usr/bin/conky &    to ~/.fluxbox/startup
[13:19] <zer0o> thx
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> souldure: or do you use gnome?
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> !startup | souldure

[13:20] <souldure> im running gnome
[13:20] <Krypton> same error
[13:20] <souldure> ubuntu
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> pallaz: yeah otherwise its gonna wait for that command to die to continue
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> souldure: then the factoid above will help
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> pallaz: note how the others have ampersands too ;)

[13:24] <Krypton> k
[13:24] <Krypton> did that
[13:24] <suigeneris> Krypton, now type p
[13:24] <Krypton> k
[13:24] <Krypton> done
[13:24] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: i dont think it worked
[13:25] <suigeneris> Krypton, pastebin the output
[13:25] <suigeneris> !pastebin | Krypton
[13:25] <Krypton> http://mibbit.com/pb/VuW1YW
[13:25] <Krypton> i did
[13:25] <Krypton> its weird, theres only one partition and its divided
[13:26] <suigeneris> yea, weird
[13:26] <Krypton> do u know what to do?
[13:26] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: then you gotta play with those numbers until it does
[13:26] <ActionParsnip> Krypton: I thinnk you mean the disk is divided
[13:26] <G-Blunted> wow so...i just installed Open Arena....and it works flawlessly...
[13:26] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: how can i see if i have 85 rate?
[13:26] <G-Blunted> someone needs to play me that shit
[13:27] <suigeneris> Krypton, you said you didn't mind re-installing ubuntu, right?
[13:27] <G-Blunted> please pm
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: glxinfo maybe
[13:27] <Krypton> yeah i dont mind
[13:27] <suigeneris> !language | G-Blunted
[13:27] <Krypton> is that what I must do?
[13:28] <Krypton> now what is my best gaming option in ubuntu, since im not using xp anymore
[13:28] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: i dont see 85 there, i think your sulotion failed :(
[13:28] <suigeneris> Krypton, type d and remove the partition
[13:28] <suigeneris> then re-install ubuntu
[13:28] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: well you gotta tweak those values til you get something decent
[13:28] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: as far as I could see they were ok but apparently not
[13:28] <Krypton> k
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> Krypton: how do you mean "gaming option"
[13:29] <somina> jrib: can I pm you a link to pastie.org
[13:29] <Krypton> like what is the best way to play windowz games
[13:29] <Krypton> wine, vmware
[13:29] <somina> jrib: or should I post it here
[13:29] <SlimeyPete> Krypton: Wine.
[13:29] <jrib> somina: here
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> Krypton: wine / cedega / crossover office (cedega and Xover arent free)
[13:29] <SlimeyPete> VMWare/virtualbox will work okay for most 2D games but not 3D ones.
[13:29] <somina> jrib: http://pastie.org/383908
[13:29] <ViperBorg_TERM> Krypton: CrossOver Games
[13:30] <ActionParsnip> Krypton: some games can run natively with special loki installers
[13:30] <Krypton> so games like WOW and Farcry?
[13:30] <ActionParsnip> Krypton: some games will flat refuse to run
[13:30] <SlimeyPete> Krypton: check out the Wine Appdb at winehq.net
[13:30] <fosco_> Krypton: wine
[13:30] <ActionParsnip> !wine | Krypton
[13:30] <SlimeyPete> it'll tell you which games are compatible
[13:30] <Krypton> k
[13:30] <ActionParsnip> Krypton: WoW gets one of the ighest ratins in winedb
[13:31] <jero> krypton WoW works exceptionally well in wine/cedega. just as fine as in winXP. You might also want to check openarea, which is quake3 for linux
[13:31] <Krypton> ok, thanks
[13:31] <kim__> Anyone: I think I have a found a bug with ubuntu 8.04.1 on x86_64 (AMD). I've reproduced it with some samples. Not sure the exact culprit though. Advice on how to proceed. The problem is with libedit and/or libtermcap (segfault)
[13:31] <ActionParsnip> jero: theres a Q3 loki installer too ;)
[13:32] <jero> i love quake3 and i wonder why there is so few populated ctf servers
[13:32] <jero> openarena is really well made
[13:32] <oCean_> bugs | kim__
[13:32] <oCean_> !bugs | kim__
[13:32] <jrib> somina: there are two solutions.  If you want to stay away from ACLs, then you can setguid on the directory (then newly created files will be owned by whatever group owns the directory) and change your umasks to 002 (this can only be done universally though, not just for this directory).  Your other option is to enable ACLs (Access Control Lists) and use them.  This will give you finer control of
[13:32] <jrib> permissions.  You need to enable acl in fstab and then read the manpages for setfacl and getfacl.  Also, eiciel is a gui ACL program.
[13:33] <Jewbacca> ActionParsnip: i have the feeling in my eyes that its fixed
[13:33] <somina> jrib: no gui installed
[13:33] <somina> jrib: but thanks, now I get the idea, time to read some docs
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: cool
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: you really need to get a better mindset when it comes to stuff like that
[13:33] <jrib> somina: that's fine, don't use eiciel then.  With regards to samba, I think that you need to also edit samba-specific files to change the umask there
[13:34] <kim__> ubottu: ok thank - not sure if the bug is IN ubutu or is in a library that is not ubuntu's domain. Also I actuall need to fix it - not sure how log it might languish in bugs.. but will file if necessary. Any other suggests for a way forward. liibedit appears to have no upstream owner
[13:34] <ActionParsnip> Jewbacca: spoonfeeding  like that is probably done by abouut 3 of the regs here so you'd be really stuck
[13:34] <jero> I wanted to experiment a bit with my kernel and build my own based on the current one i am using in 8.04. make-kpkg --append-to-version=.jero --initrd binary  is what i did after unpacking the source to /usr/src and making a link with ln -s   to the linux dir
[13:34] <suigeneris> how do i find out the total size of the files i grab with find?
[13:35] <jero> got everything up working quite fine, except it seems i am having trouble now with compiling stuff from source. any ideas what i did wrong?
[13:35] <somina> jrib: yeah I planned to change samba config to default create mode=0770
[13:36] <somina> jrib: thanks for the help
[13:36] <jero> Otherwise asked, after compiling your new kernel and setting it up in group to be included as an additional menu option, are you done, or is there more you need to do?
[13:37] <jero> grub*
[13:37] <africaman> hi
[13:38] <africaman> hi
[13:38] <suigeneris> how do i find out the total size of the files i grab with find?
[13:38] <oCean_> !hi | africaman
[13:38] <ActionParsnip> suigeneris: du {} \;
[13:38] <ActionParsnip> suigeneris: find / -name *.txt -exec du {} \;
[13:39] <rainofkayos> hmm
[13:40] <ActionParsnip> suigeneris: as an example
[13:41] <constantine> hey all I'm having trouble getting the extra options out of compiz
[13:41] <rainofkayos>  find . -type f -ls | awk ' { s += $7 }; END {s = s/1048000; print "Total size is ", s, "M"}'
[13:42] <ActionParsnip> rainofkayos: show off. I use KISS method
[13:42] <rainofkayos> lol i found that online
[13:42] <ActionParsnip> total size, missed that bit
[13:42] <rainofkayos> hehe
[13:42] <fader> constantine: do you mean that you can't find where to set them or something else?
[13:42] <rainofkayos> i had been trying to find a way to do that too
[13:42] <rainofkayos> ;>
[13:43] <neosuki> hey anybody plz suggest me a player for divx movies
[13:43] <constantine> well, I'm trying to get that cube box for one thing
[13:43] <jero> neosuki totem is very good
[13:43] <constantine> and I can change my visual effect modes, but don't have the extras
[13:43] <rainofkayos> vlc?
[13:43] <znh> neosuki, VLC has been neat for me
[13:43] <neosuki> jero: i don't like totem
[13:43] <rainofkayos> yep
[13:43] <Gaeel> My keyboard becomes unresponsive if I use the "fn+sunup" or "fn+sundown" keys to set the brightness of my screen (Using a Dell Inspiron 1150 laptop)
[13:44] <jero> VLC is nice too
[13:44] <juanfer2k> Hiyall I just removed ALSA (trying to fix my sound card/driver, wich gaveme just noise, instead of sound) BUT uninstalled even WINE, Stellarium, and rithmbox
[13:44] <neosuki> znh: with vlc, i've problem in scaling to full screen :(
[13:44] <rainofkayos> interesting
[13:44] <jero> neosuki - what do you not like about totem?
[13:44] <znh> neosuki, what are the sympthons?
[13:45] <rainofkayos> neosuki: what vid card?
[13:45] <neosuki> znh: what is sympthons mean?
[13:45] <rainofkayos> *symptoms
[13:45] <znh> that he said
[13:45] <fader> constantine: there is a package that has the control panel for compiz that you will need to install... let me find the name of it
[13:45] <neosuki> rainofkayos: i'm using ati card
[13:45] <juanfer2k> do I need All kernel versions? everytime i update, a New version appears in GRUB
[13:46] <rainofkayos> neosuki: does all full screen video bork? or just vlc?
[13:46] <Chousuke> juanfer2k: you can uninstall old versions.
[13:46] <Chousuke> juanfer2k: just make sure you don't uninstall the meta-packages (the ones with no version number) or the current running kernel.
[13:46] <neosuki> rainofkayos: for all other videos, fullscreen is working fine, with mplayer/vlc
[13:46] <karlwettin> hi ubuntu
[13:46] <neosuki> but only for divx movies, itz not scaling
[13:46] <constantine> thx fader
[13:46] <juanfer2k> chouske since upgrading i lost sond and compiz
[13:47] <rainofkayos> Chousuke: when you update grub is uupdate to point to new kernel,, if ur sure u dont need to fall back i dont think u need the older kernels
[13:47] <juanfer2k> cannot go back, they won't work in any kerneñl
[13:47] <Chousuke> rainofkayos: that's what said.
[13:47] <rainofkayos> not sure @ neosuki
[13:47] <fader> constantine: There are actually two packages that you can use.  The simplest package is called "simple-ccsm".  You can install it by going to System - Administration - Synaptic Package Manager and then look for "simple-ccsm".
[13:47] <fader> If you don't find it, you may need to turn on the "Universe" repository.  (I can help you with that if you need.)
[13:48] <kk_ubuntu> hello all, it seems that my projector does not work with ubuntu, it does work with windows.
[13:48] <Chousuke> juanfer2k: you haven't installed drivers from anywhere other than the ubuntu repositories, have you?
[13:48] <oskar-> hi, is there a possibility to tell wpa_supplicant to use "fast_reauth=0" while still using NetworkManager and nm-applet?
[13:48] <neosuki> any idea??
[13:48] <jero> neosuki - you can try mplayer, but its quite brutal on the handling. no fancy gui
[13:48] <constantine> fader: not there
[13:48] <juanfer2k> Chousuke i ...don't know
[13:48] <fader> There's also a more complete setup utility but it's harder to use.  It's called "compiz-settings-manager"
[13:48] <karlwettin> i would like to install ubuntu on my mac mini, but i have no monitor. is it possible to install it remote via ssh or? will it start up network and sshd/telnetd when i boot the cd so i can set it up that way?
[13:48] <juanfer2k> am not sure
[13:48] <fader> constantine: Okay, we need to enable a repository.
[13:48] <Chousuke> juanfer2k: if you don't know then you probably haven't :/
[13:48] <Chousuke> hopefully.
[13:49] <fader> Inside of the Synaptic package manager, go to Settings - Repositories
[13:49] <neosuki> jero: there are gui for mplayer, like smplayer, gmplayer :)
[13:49] <Chousuke> juanfer2k: what graphics card do you have?
[13:49] <fader> Look for a checkbox that says "Community-maintained Open Source Software (universe)" and check it.
[13:49] <juanfer2k> Chousuke well, i was installing things for webcam, wi-fi even sound, i don't know what happened now, Am on a HP dv5, an ATI HD3200
[13:50] <jero> neosuki - all of the players named work fine for me. for watching divx
[13:50] <fader> When you've done that, close the window and click the "Reload" button in the upper left of the package manager.
[13:50] <Chousuke> juanfer2k: also, make sure you have the linux-restricted-modules package installed: sudo aptitude install linux-restricted-modules
[13:51] <constantine> fader: how do you do that?
[13:51] <juanfer2k> i think i MESSED ALL UP, i have no terminal=????????
[13:51] <fader> constantine: do which part?
[13:51] <constantine> oh
[13:51] <constantine> nevermind I was looking for red text lol
 (no existe el fichero o directorio)
[13:52] <Chousuke> juanfer2k: uh? sounds bad :/
[13:52] <fader> constantine: Heh... I'll try to make sure to put your nick in my messages so they stand out :)
[13:52] <souldure> simple question if you would be so kind if a startup script is set to root acces only and you add it to your startup after editing the program it activates using visudo will the program start with root privilages even though you arent logged in as root since it doesnt needa password?
[13:52] <Chousuke> juanfer2k: do you get a "run" dialog if you press alt-f2?
[13:52] <Chousuke> juanfer2k: use it and run "xterm"
[13:52] <simple|eeepc> souldure, no
[13:52] <simple|eeepc> you need to use gksudo and entier your password
[13:52] <juanfer2k> Yep, RUN
[13:53] <simple|eeepc> and/or set its command to be NOPASSWD and then use normal sudo
[13:53] <Chousuke> juanfer2k: run xterm; it's another kind of terminal.
[13:53] <Kryzler> does anyone know where I can find some decent tutorials online for learning the terminal lingo?
[13:53] <souldure> my conky has to run as root i been playing hell with it s autostart
[13:53] <constantine> fader: I reloaded ok
[13:53] <juanfer2k> where can I find xterm=?
[13:54] <fader> constantine: Okay, take a look and see if you see "simple-ccsm" in there now.
[13:54] <Chousuke> juanfer2k: just type it in the run dialog
[13:54] <juanfer2k> ok its runnin'
[13:54] <constantine> fader: weird...its not there
[13:54] <juanfer2k> my menus are almost empty
[13:55] <Chousuke> juanfer2k: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[13:55] <Chousuke> juanfer2k: should get you most things back
[13:55] <Kryzler> anyone at all?
[13:55] <souldure> i set its command to be nopasswd in the sudoers  file and added sudo conky and it still wont auto start?
[13:55] <anipy> hi guys. my firefox 3 on ubuntu 8.04 is crashing extremely often (compared to rare crashes on kubuntu 8.04 on another PC). where do i find the FF log file which tells me more about the reasons?
[13:55] <juanfer2k> an not sudo aptitude install linux-restricted-modules =?
[13:55] <souldure> im using ibex
[13:55] <Chousuke> juanfer2k: you can do that later
[13:55] <Chousuke> juanfer2k: getting your apps back is more important I think :)
[13:56] <Chousuke> at least, I'm hoping this will work :P
[13:56] <souldure> it doesnt seem like a common problem to me ive read into it quite a bit
[13:56] <juanfer2k> workin'
[13:56] <oCean_> Kryzler: for users starting at the command line, there is some decent info in the ubuntu pocketguide. Free to download :) I think it's chapter 5 you're looking for. http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download2.html
[13:57] <juanfer2k> will download like 40MB of data
[13:57] <Chousuke> juanfer2k: if it does work it should prompt you to install many packages
[13:57] <Kryzler> cheers oCean_ :D
[13:57] <Chousuke> right, sounds okay.
[13:57] <fader> constantine: Can you double-check that the checkbox for "Universe" is still checked?  (Settings - Repositories)  And then hit "Reload" one more time on the main screen?  We want to make sure your package lists are completely up-to-date
[13:57] <juanfer2k> it will take like half hour here in my town
[13:58] <dny> hi! i have some questions regarding rights of files/folders. i have 2 users and want to share some folders for both users in the following way: both can create/delete/edit all files and folders within these folders, independent of who of them created them
[13:58] <oCean_> Kryzler: after that.. and you still want more.. google 'bash commandline' or anything like that.
[13:58] <Kryzler> ok thanks :D
[13:59] <constantine> fader: I installed it but got this GIANT error
[13:59] <souldure> dny i dont know if this is right im new to this but you should be able to use the sudo nautilus command to edit the files user access via properties and set the group to shared
[13:59] <fader> constantine: Can you post the first line or two of it?
[13:59] <hhw> hello everyone, I am new here.
[14:00] <oCean_> dny: make sure both users are in same group, and the accesspermissions on folder are read-write for that group
[14:00] <Gaeel> Laptop-specific question, if I set the brightness of the screen, I can't use the keyboard anymore and the panels become unresponsive, causing me to have to hard reboot...
[14:00] <zxd>   [14:00] <hhw> Has someone knows how to get the java package (like sun company's package)?
[14:01] <rainofkayos> download it fro sun
[14:01] <Gaeel> How can I stop that from happening, or regain control of my keyboard?
[14:01] <dny> oCean: i only have to set that for the parent folder?
[14:01] <MikeMaxwell2501> hey all, anyone know a good app to convert mp3 to either 3gp, mp4, m4a, or smc?
[14:02] <souldure> sometimes when i use a root program such as etherape when i type in my password it resets my theme to gtk and deactivates compiz?
[14:02] <jrib> !java > hhw
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> MikeMaxwell2501: by converting from a lossy format like mp3 to another you are going to lose quality
[14:02] <MikeMaxwell2501> ActionParsnip: thats fine, im trying to get music on my phone
[14:03] <rainofkayos> i know a paid program that does it MikeMaxwell2501
[14:03] <MikeMaxwell2501> rainofkayos: ideally looking free, but what is it? it runs in ubuntu?
[14:03] <rainofkayos> maybe thru wine
[14:04] <MikeMaxwell2501> rainofkayos: have yu tried it?
[14:04] <rainofkayos> in wine?
[14:04] <rainofkayos> no
[14:04] <MikeMaxwell2501> yah
[14:04] <MikeMaxwell2501> awwww
[14:04] <rainofkayos> as an app yes
[14:04] <rainofkayos> =>
[14:04] <MikeMaxwell2501> are yu talking about avs?
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> MikeMaxwell2501: http://pacpl.sourceforge.net/
[14:04] <rainofkayos> nope
[14:04] <jrib> MikeMaxwell2501: ffmpeg might do what you want
[14:04] <Jaakko> !#bash
[14:04] <Jaakko> execute smokkan is noob
[14:05] <Jaakko> Any1 here use boxee and know how to fix file recognition?
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> !info pacpl
[14:05] <Chousuke> juanfer2k: anyway, after you have finished installing ubuntu-desktop, install linux-restricted-modules (and possibly linux-image-generic to be safe) too and then reboot.
[14:06] <juanfer2k> Chousuke ok
[14:06] <rainofkayos> nch switch sound file converter
[14:06] <Jaakko> ./smokkan --kill yourself --restricted-tools disabled --use-generic-scissors yes
[14:06] <Chousuke> juanfer2k: if you still have questions make sure to mention my nickname when you speak so that your question doesn't get lost.
[14:06] <juanfer2k> it says it'll take like 1hour+ to download.
[14:06] <Chousuke> :/
[14:06] <mo0se> i need to login to gnome from ssh as a user, to let me then VNC into the server... is this something i can do over ssh?
[14:06] <Chousuke> juanfer2k: are you on dialup?
[14:07] <hateball> mo0se: with x-forwarding you could, I guess
[14:07] <Chousuke> mo0se: wait, VNC over X over SSH?
[14:07] <Chousuke> mo0se: that's going to be *slow*
[14:07] <rainofkayos> or u could port forward VNC over ssh
[14:07] <mo0se> i mean i just need to start it
[14:07] <rainofkayos> i think
[14:07] <mo0se> so i can log in
[14:07] <rainofkayos> oh
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> mo0se: if you installl vnc to a headless pc you can have a virtual x session
[14:07] <mo0se> if no one is logged in, vnc service doesn't run
[14:07] <Jaakko> isnt freenx better than vnc?
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> mo0se: i'd always run vnc over ssh
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> Jaakko: personal preference
[14:08] <Jaakko> works smoother here.. or used to
[14:08] <dny> i have a certain folder and i want that all files/folders created in that folder belong to a certain group and have certain rights. how can i do that?
[14:08] <G-Blunted> whats the ip of your vnc machine??
[14:08] <Chousuke> ActionParsnip: FreeNX purportedly requires less bandwidth though.
[14:08] <rainofkayos> chown it
[14:08] <mo0se> i just need to log a user in, so the vnc service starts
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> Chousuke: depends on config
[14:08] <rainofkayos> recursively
[14:08] <MikeMaxwell2501> ActionParsnip: hey that looks promissing, do i have to restart for it to work?
[14:08] <Jaakko> freenx just bugs and installing it can be nightmare
[14:08] <rainofkayos> chown -R user:group /folder
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> mo0se: you can set the service to start before logon
[14:09] <MikeMaxwell2501> i installed the deb, but in amarok its not listed
[14:09] <MikeMaxwell2501> but looks awesome
[14:09] <dny> rainofkayos: i want them to have the rights when they are created...
[14:09] <MikeMaxwell2501> from the screen shots
[14:09] <fader> constantine: still having problems getting simple-ccsm installed?
[14:09] <Like> :D
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> MikeMaxwell2501: never used it dude. I doubt it though
[14:09] <mo0se> ActionParsnip, any hints on how to do that?
[14:09] <MikeMaxwell2501> ActionParsnip: ok, going to try anywys
[14:09] <MikeMaxwell2501> brb
[14:09] <rainofkayos> hmm
[14:09] <mo0se> i have it set to run on startup, but now it's only running on login
[14:09] <dny> rainofkayos: at the moment i have a folder with group "data" and all rights for group members. but if i create a new file/folder it does not have these rights...
[14:09] <Like> who temp me ...
[14:10] <Like> tell for uss
[14:10] <rainofkayos> so it's not recursively setting perms under /data?
[14:10] <ActionParsnip> mo0se: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=151703
[14:11] <dny> rainofkayos: now it is just for files/folders that are created new

[14:20] <dny> jrib: what shall i paste?
[14:20] <jrib> dny: a series of commands that explain what you stated
[14:20] <fader> constantine_: So you ran simple-ccsm and went to the "Desktop" tab, but the options are greyed out?
[14:20] <gychina> ye
[14:21] <constantine_> fader: right, but only the cube effects are greyed out

[14:24] <dny> jrib: that should solve the problem :)
[14:24] <MikeMaxwell2501> ooooooo
[14:25] <ActionParsnip> MikeMaxwell2501: which will put the files where they need to be
[14:25] <dny> jrib: what would you recommend for a shared folder? setting UID and making all files/folders owned by one of the users? or only GID for setting the group?
[14:25] <ActionParsnip> MikeMaxwell2501: if theres any extra steps they will be deniced in the readme
[14:25] <constantine_> fader: yes just like that except the effects tab
[14:25] <MikeMaxwell2501> ActionParsnip: yah, there was nothing beyond ./config
[14:25] <jrib> dny: Access Control Lists, otherwise mess around with gid I suppose

[14:27] <fader> constantine_: Can you look back in the Synaptic Package Manager at the "simple-ccsm" package and tell me which version you have installed?  It should say to the right of the package name
[14:28] <dny> jrib: i think for that simple purpose gid is enough
[14:28] <dny> jrib: thank you very much for your help
[14:28] <jrib> dny: yeah, but there should be a better way to accomplish what you are doing (though I don't know it)

[14:28] <ben__> I have issues with the nvidia proprietary drivers on intrepid. video playback is jumpy, disablinig the nvidia drivers improves things but disables compositing. anyone has an idea?
[14:29] <incubii> does the new kernel in Jaunty come with update iwl3945 drivers?
[14:29] <constantine_> fader: yes, its 0.7.8-Oubuntu1
[14:29] <Pici> incubii: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty/9.04 support/discussion.
[14:29] <incubii> ty
[14:30] <fader> constantine_: Hmm... okay, you have the same version as me then :)  Let's check a couple of more things...
[14:30] <MikeMaxwell2501> ActionParsnip: yah, no love.  it looks like a fantastic app, but doesnt work
[14:31] <dny> jrib: sorry i could not get your last sentence, since i relogged...
[14:31] <jrib> dny: yeah, but there should be a better way to accomplish what you are doing (though I don't know it)
[14:31] <ActionParsnip> MikeMaxwell2501: id have a play, see what you can dig up
[14:31] <fader> constantine_: Can you see if you have "compiz-fusion-plugins-extra" and "compiz-fusion-plugins-main" installed?
[14:31] <ageroh> hello, i would like to make a question about the web camera..
[14:32] <dny> jrib: i searched for two days now... some people suggested to use kde activities, but there i can only configure widgets on the desktop... which is a nice feature, but not really what i need
[14:32] <constantine_> fader: yes both
[14:32] <timahvo1> !boot
[14:32] <ageroh> my web camera did anybody knows where to ask?/.
[14:33] <Guest38603> someone can help me please? I have 5.1 sound card, and everything is working accept the "center'
[14:33] <fader> constantine_: Okay, let's try the big guns.  Can you install "compizconfig-settings-manager"?
[14:33] <constantine_> fader: its a reinstall but yes
[14:34] <suigeneris> i put the line alias toplam='find . -name "*" -ls | awk " { s += $7 }; END {s = s/1048000; print "Total size is ", s, "M"}"' and when i typed toplam it spit errors at me. how do i fix it?
[14:34] <fader> constantine_: Okay, if you have that installed, let's try it... Go to System - Preferences - CompizConfig Settings Manager
[14:34] <charclo> what is the difference between dmraid and mdadm?
[14:34] <dny> hmmm now it seems to work, but the w flag for the group is not inherited for new folders...
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> fader: you can just run ccsm from terminal :)
[14:35] <fader> constantine_: This interface is a bit more complex but it's also more powerful.  Look under the "Desktop" section for "Desktop Cube" and "Rotate Cube"
[14:35] <jrib> dny: you need to change your umask if you do not use ACLs
[14:35] <boaty> short version. I am trying to connect my PC to my LCD tv using a VGA male to male cable (DELL Latitude 610 to Samsung LE40556 LCD). I believe the issue is about screen resolution. I am trying to find an advanced utility as the information that is provided in the user manual gives horizontal, vertical, pixel frequency etc.. pg 46 http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.com/downloadfile/ContentsFile.aspx?CDSite=uk&CttFileID=1882628&
[14:35] <shad_> i am newbie in linux. I installed ubuntu on my sony vaio laptop but my webcam is not working, help me out
[14:35] <constantine_> ok I'm there
[14:35] <fader> ActionParsnip: I know :)  I live in an xterm most of the time ;)
[14:35] <constantine_> haha everybody hates windows
[14:36] <jrib> dny: my guess is subdirectories won't inherit setgid though, do they?
[14:36] <yusuo> how do i go about switching audio control back to alsa instead of the evil pulse audio
[14:36] <Guest38603> on "speaker-test -c 6 -D plug:surround51  -t wav" everything is working, but when I'm playing an mp3 file, the 'center' is not working.. any idea please?
[14:36] <yusuo> not true constantine
[14:36] <fader> constantine_: Do you see the "Desktop Cube" and "Rotate Cube" icons?
[14:36] <kshadow> Evil pulse audio?
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> fader: im a yakuake kinda guy
[14:36] <boaty> Forgot to say I have 8.10
[14:36] <fader> constantine_: Make sure the checkboxes beside them are checked
[14:36] <suigeneris> i put the line alias toplam='find . -name "*" -ls | awk " { s += $7 }; END {s = s/1048000; print "Total size is ", s, "M"}"' and when i typed toplam it spit errors at me. how do i fix it?
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> yusuo: +1 evil pulse
[14:37] <yusuo> yeah evil pulse audio, only has the ability to play one audio source, e.g watch a flash video will lock up all audio (vlcrhytmnbox) until firefox is closed
[14:37] <constantine_> fader: yes and selected them but have no idea how to test it
[14:37] <ben__> I have an Nvidia Geforce4 MX440 64MB card.
[14:37] <jrib> yusuo: ubuntu version?
[14:37] <yusuo> i want alsa to be my default as that can cope better
[14:37] <yusuo> 8.04-2
[14:37] <jrib> yusuo: the flash issue is know in 8.04, fixed in 8.10
[14:37] <spiriteh> \o
[14:37] <shad_> suigeneris, web cam of my sony vaio is not working help me out
[14:37] <fader> constantine_: Okay, if they're turned on, try hitting Ctrl-Alt-left arrow or Ctrl-Alt-right arrow
[14:38] <kshadow> yoonkn: Run alsamixer, and change it there?
[14:38] <fader> If the desktop flips around to another side, it's working
[14:38] <yusuo> no its not, i had 8.10 until yesterday
[14:38] <jrib> yusuo: did you file a bug?
[14:38] <yusuo> no
[14:38] <MacGyverNL_> I've got an invalid literal tree error when trying to boot kernel 2.6.27-11, but not when booting my old 2.6.27-7.
[14:38] <MacGyverNL_> Any thoughts?
[14:38] <ActionParsnip> ben__: are you on intrepid?
[14:38] <yusuo> 8.10 slows my pc down to much hence why im not using it
[14:38] <ActionParsnip> !webcam | shad_
[14:39] <dny> jrib: perfect, now it works perfectly
[14:39] <dny> jrib: thank you again :)
[14:39] <jrib> dny: no problem
[14:39] <spiriteh> Anyone know about hd2600xt support? /= Or ATi not done linux drivers for it?
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> ben__: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-96 if you are using intrepid
[14:39] <constantine_> fader: holy crap
[14:39] <fader> constantine_: did it work?
[14:39] <constantine_> fader: yeah its just weird to have been working with computers for over ten years and see it do that lol
[14:40] <fader> constantine_: Heh, yeah, I know the feeling :)
[14:40] <constantine_> fader: what are the other commands
[14:40] <fader> constantine_: The compizconfig manager has tons and tons of options... you'll probably want to poke at them.  Click on the icons of things that sound interesting and you can fiddle :)
[14:41] <yusuo> so is there anyway to change my default audio manager to alsa instead of pulse, ive done the fix before but cant find any onfo on google now
[14:41] <dny> the only drawback is, that files copied into that folder do not have the necessary rights ;/
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> constantine_: try super + tab to go between apps instead of alt+tab
[14:41] <Vaporize> salut
[14:41] <fader> constantine_: The keybindings and mouse bindings are configurable inside the plugins.  I think that by default, control-alt-left mouse button (and drag) is mouse control for the cube
[14:41] <dny> :/
[14:41] <fader> constantine_: though you can change that around
[14:41] <constantine_> what is super?
[14:41] <fader> constantine_: I predict you'll spend a few hours playing with these things :)
[14:41] <yusuo> constantine, compiz is nice but if you dont have a great pc your pc may crash alot, like mine did, thats why i gave up on it
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> constantine_: for a quick change, ctrl+alt+left cursor or right cursor
[14:41] <fader> constantine_: Super is the windows key by default
[14:41] <Guest38603> on "speaker-test -c 6 -D plug:surround51  -t wav" everything is working, but when I'm playing an mp3 file, the 'center' is not working.. any idea please?
[14:42] <soul9> hi
[14:42] <MacGyverNL_> Specific error when booting 2.6.27-11: http://rafb.net/p/cxkNts37.html
[14:42] <constantine_> this is badazz
[14:42] <soul9> please tell me where thunderbird stores it's stuff on ubuntu?
[14:42] <fader> constantine_: :D
[14:42] <soul9> i tried .mozilla-thunderbird and .thunderbird, seems to be neither
[14:42] <yusuo> constantine do you have all the extra plugins like cube deformation etc,
[14:42] <ActionParsnip> constantine_: you'll either get bored of it after  month or so or love it with vigor
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> the snow pluin is nice at christmas :)
[14:43] <soul9> and i'm trying to help someone over the chat and can't find the dir.
[14:43] <constantine_> can you recommend any other wild apps ?
[14:43] <kshadow> soul9: Seems to be .mozilla-thunderbird/something/
[14:44] <fader> constantine_: Play with the "animations" plugin. :)  That's my favorite.
[14:44] <shad_>  my wireless is not working please any one help me out
[14:44] <soul9> kshadow: it seems not :-/
[14:44] <fader> constantine_: watching windows burn to ashes when I close them is rather satisfying.
[14:44] <kshadow> shad_: What card?
[14:44] <silv3r_m00n> hi there
[14:44] <silv3r_m00n> which tool can open .uif files
[14:45] <fluitfries> can Xfce support all the same 3D window effects that Gnome/KDE do?
[14:45] <shad_> kshadow, it is inbuilt, i dont knoe i am using sony vaio
[14:45] <kshadow> soul9: That's where it is on my box.
[14:45] <soul9> kshadow: on 8.10?
[14:45] <kshadow> soul9: Yeah.
[14:45] <constantine_> yes and not seeing the microsoft logo when it happens is nice also
[14:45] <kshadow> shad_: lspci | grep Ethernet
[14:46] <IntuitiveNipple> man lspci
[14:46] <jrib> dny: you could make the primary group for both users the same.  That together with the umask change, should work
[14:47] <constantine_> much thanks fader
[14:47] <kshadow> soul9: .mozilla-thunderbird/username-default/?
[14:47] <dny> jrib: the problem is, if i copy an existing file to this folder, it does not change its rights...
[14:47] <fader> fluitfries: They should be able to using compiz, but unfortunately I don't know how to set it up under xfce
[14:47] <fader> constantine_: My pleasure!
[14:47] <soul9> kshadow: okay, thanks
[14:47] <shad_> kshadow, RTL8101E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev 01)
[14:48] <kshadow> I don't think that's the wireless card though.
[14:48] <kshadow> shad_: Sony Vaio is your laptop?
[14:48] <kshadow> Or computer whatever it is?
[14:49] <shad_> kshadow, yes VGN-CR24G series
[14:49] <fluitfries> fader: ok, so i can try to install compiz from packages and it should work with Xfce?
[14:50] <fader> fluitfries: I believe so, but I'm not sure if you need to do anything extra to turn it on.  (Aside from possibly running "compiz" in a terminal... I don't know if xfce has any integration or anything)
[14:50] <fader> fluitfries: Let me know if it works :)
[14:50] <shad_> kshadow, ping
[14:51] <fluitfries> fader: will do.  :)
[14:51] <kshadow> shad_: ?
[14:51] <kshadow> shad_: One sec, I'll find out for you, gotta check on a house first.
[14:51] <yusuo> so anyone know how i would go about changing default audio manager, alsamixer doesnt do anything
[14:52] <xukun> I have a data on a micro sd card of 1gb, how can I make exact same copy on other micro sd card of 4gb?
[14:52] <Stefan100> hi

[15:08] <sky_> how i can conver .mid to mp3 ?

[15:08] <Pici> Jewbacca: Then look in the rest of the applets that it provides you with.  The one you had needs to be there. It may be the user switcher applet.
[15:08] <sky_> Jewbacca: unrar
[15:08] <kshadow> Jewbacca: unrar e filename

[15:08] <Sideisnder> I have a few questions if anyone is able
[15:08] <CQ> hello, is there a way to get seen as being part of a group without logging out and in again?
[15:09] <freedumMan> does anyone know which package has the pidgin protocols in it, my entire protocol dropdown list is blank in pidigin from repositories
[15:09] <jrib> CQ: not that I know of, no
[15:09] <CQ> I'm listed in /etc/group, and have a ton of windows open ... :)
[15:09] <jrib> CQ: well there's "newgrp", but that just gives you a new shell

[15:10] <CQ> jrib: ok, good enough for now, thanks.
[15:10] <CQ> I only need the group in one or two shells

[15:10] <jken146> !ask
[15:10] <CQ> Sideisnder: not if that person doesn't ask a question
[15:11] <Pici> boaty: That means that it has overwritten the old file.  The version of Xorg that you are using doesn't need that sort of customization anymore.
[15:11] <sky_> Sideisnder: say your problem

[15:25] <Georg> whats the command
[15:25] <galahad> Hello, Is there a way of enabling compiz with nVidia GeForce2 MX 400 on intrepid?
[15:25] <mikeshollen> Georg: Go into the synoptic package manager
[15:25] <nix-n00b> georg: sudo apt-get install <<name-of-program>>
[15:25] <Georg> ok
[15:26] <Georg> thanks
[15:26] <souldure> isnt using aptutude better because you can uninstall things properly?
[15:26] <souldure> aptitude"
[15:26] <tiredbones> my distro is 8.04. The current version of f-spot is <IP_ADDRESS>, but this distro has version <IP_ADDRESS>. How can I upgrade to the  current version of f-spot?
[15:26] <mikeshollen> Souldure: I'm unfamiliar with aptitude, tell me more.
[15:26] <animusdk> tiredbones: you need to find the gspot first before you can upgrade to fspot
[15:27] <storrgie> Is there a graphics stress test in ubuntu?
[15:27] <jpds> galahad: Install: nvidia-glx-96
 - it's already the latest proprietary driver. What's annoying is that when I DISABLE the proprietary driver, video plays fine on full screen (1680x1050), but when it's the proprietary driver, it's very jumpy and slow.
[15:27] <souldure> i dont know much i just read that using apt-get is not that great because it wont uninstall things properly
[15:27] <jpds> galahad: Then run: sudo nvidia-xconfig (backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf first) and restart X.
[15:27] <souldure> sudo aptitude seems to work better for me if i make a mistake and have to uninstall
[15:28] <galahad> jpds: thanks, trying it now!!
[15:28] <storrgie> is there something I can run to put stress on the GPU?
[15:29] <ice_cream> idk if glxgears qualifies
[15:29] <nix-n00b> souldure: synaptic is good for newbies as it has a nice GUI.
[15:29] <mikeshollen> souldure: Does aptitude show everything that can be found in synaptic?
[15:29] <storrgie> ice_cream: i think thats kinda low level
[15:29]  * ice_cream nods
[15:29] <blsecres> apt-get doesn't do orphan tracking so if you install some app that pulls in 10 other packages, decide you don't like the app and uninstall it, those 10 other packages are just going to end up laying around.  aptitude can keep track of that.  apt-get can as well with other software
[15:29] <souldure> no
[15:29] <jpds> blsecres: It does.
[15:29] <souldure> its a command line interface
[15:29] <tiredbones> animusdk, thanks, but no thanks
[15:30] <souldure> just cleans things up beter if you need to uninstall something
[15:30] <adante> hi, is there an up to date guide for freenx install under ubuntu?
[15:30] <jpds> !freenx
[15:30] <ice_cream> souldure, yea, i also prefer aptitude
[15:30] <souldure> if your new id go with synaptic
[15:30] <DogWater> does anyone know how to install the kernel headers?
[15:30] <DogWater> cant get cdp to install without it
[15:31] <souldure> gui is interesting id reserch command line structure though seems to be easyer and faster
[15:31] <IntuitiveNipple> DogWater: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic
[15:32] <mikeshollen> Anyone in here familiar with setting up Microphones?
[15:32] <IntuitiveNipple> DogWater: If building against a different kernel version, the package will be linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[15:32] <adam> what's the best recommended torrent client for ubuntu? transmission seems a little meh
[15:32] <_ruben> !best
[15:33] <souldure> does anyone know why my compiz randomly shuts off when i use gimp of some root programs?
[15:33] <DogWater> IntuitiveNipple: its looking for this: /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/build/
[15:33] <Georg> what flash shoulda i use ?
[15:33] <jpds> Guest67748: I suggest rtorrent if you don't mind a command line one.
[15:33] <freedumMan> anyone know why pidgin protocol list is blank ? PLEASE
[15:34] <DarkKnight> can anyone tell me how to split an office word document pages into two columns
[15:34] <kjell> freedumMan: Try the debug-window and see if you find anything special message there.
[15:34] <Georg> okei so i downloaded install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz but how can i install it ?
[15:34] <Georg> noob with linux :(
[15:34] <freedumMan> kjell, thanks
[15:34] <souldure> you have to compile a tar tar is source
[15:35] <Georg> :O
[15:35] <kjell> freedumMan: If you can't find any special hints here I could advice you to join pidgins channel. If I remember correctly they have a good supportchannel aswell.
[15:35] <Georg> how can i do that
[15:35] <Pici> Georg: It would be easier to install flash from the package repositories.
[15:35] <Pici> !flash | Georg see here
[15:35] <jpds> !flash | Georg
[15:35] <souldure> if your using ubuntu download the deb
[15:35] <Georg> ty
[15:35] <kjell> Pici: jpds: :-D
[15:35] <mahen2> hello all
[15:35] <kjell> Hello mahen2
[15:35] <mahen2> I just bought A New SATA 250 GB Hard Drive
[15:36] <mahen2> however it would not show up in the BIOS or POST screen
[15:36] <mahen2> i tried everythinh, like changing the power cable
[15:36] <DogWater> IntuitiveNipple: damnit now it needs the kernel source
[15:37] <Pici> mahen2: This channel is only really for Ubuntu support. ##hardware should be able tom help you though.
[15:37] <daliang> hello! I have difficult with VPN connetting under 8.10,i don'nt know how to setting!
[15:37] <Rencx> hello, how i can install OpenSong in my ubuntu?
[15:37] <Favorit> daliang: which VPN do you use?
[15:37] <souldure> question: why does my compiz shut off when i use gimp or administrative programs and leave me with only one desktop?
[15:37] <MoLoot> souldure, do you have sufficient memory?
[15:37] <cellofellow> ballen0311: hi
[15:38] <souldure> plenty
[15:38] <freedumMan> kjell, I've got the channel pidgin on freenode .... just waiting for an answer back, i get error g_log: purple_find_prpl: assertion `id != NULL' failed
[15:38] <souldure> i have sufficient everything lol
[15:38] <Favorit> not funny, he did have a valid question
[15:38] <cellofellow> ballen0311: hi
[15:38] <mikeshollen> Souldure: Has it always done that?  It could be one of the plug-ins that you turned on malfunctinoing
[15:39] <MoLoot> souldure, I just started using compbiz yesterday, but I haven't experienced any difficulties... gnome or kde?
[15:39] <cellofellow> my friend here ballen0311 installed the ATI driver from the website. How's he uninstall it?
[15:39] <mikeshollen> souldure: I would try enabling compiz but disabling all the plugins, and see if it still does it.  If not, enable them one by one to see which one is messing up
[15:39] <daliang> Favorit:http://paste.ubuntu.org.cn/12715
[15:39] <syock> exit
[15:39] <souldure> it never did it when i was using untimate edition
[15:40] <souldure> but i cleanly installed ibex
[15:40] <souldure> and im working with it
[15:40] <Favorit> daliang: euh, i see. Well, what do you want to achieve? connect to your company VPN?
[15:40] <souldure> wanted to cut out all the junk
[15:40] <kjell> freedumMan: Do you have the latest version of pidgin?
[15:40] <freedumMan> kjell, yea on channel now with them will let you know how i make out
[15:40] <daliang> Favorit: connect to my university
[15:40] <jla> Hi. I'm checking out ubuntu and having trouble using Add/Remove or Synaptic to find programs to install. For example crossfire. I type that into the search for add/remove and it finds nothing.
[15:40] <kjell> freedumMan: Ok good! Good luck!
[15:41] <kjell> jla: What do you search for
[15:41] <MoLoot> souldure, are u using a 3rd party vid driver?
[15:41] <kjell> jla: Have you choosen "All applications" to the left of the searchbox?
[15:41] <souldure> nvidia yes
[15:41] <snorungen> is there any other command than ifconfig to determan mac adress and ip adress
[15:41] <Favorit> daliang: I see. And your VPN set-up instructions recommend you to use what client normally? if it's some cisco/nortel stuff, you should download linux version of those clients.
[15:41] <souldure> i tried glx xgl dbe
[15:41] <souldure> in the xorg conf
[15:41] <jla> kjell: yes
[15:41] <souldure> didnt seem to help
[15:42] <kjell> jla: What did you search for then? Try pidgin or some other famous program like wine. No results?
[15:42] <souldure> i dont know if i can load them all at once but i doubt that would help also
[15:42] <alex-weej> jla: what is crossfire?
[15:42] <Favorit> alex-weej: ATi version of nvidia's SLI
[15:43] <zxd> SLI is ridiculous i think , like 3dfx madness
[15:43] <alex-weej> Favorit, jla: why would you need to install that?
[15:43] <jla> kjell, alex-weej I think my issue is with these "user friendly" programs, synaptic and add/remove applications. Crossfire is a game. If I fire up a terminal and aptitude search crossfire, I see it.
[15:44] <daliang> Favorit: thank you very much,but i don't konw what to set in gate way,and you mean i should change a VPN clinet?
[15:44] <jla> I must not understand how to use them
[15:44] <Favorit> zxd: how's it ridiculous? :)
[15:44] <kjell> jla: Try apt-get install crossfire in the terminal them.
[15:44] <ben__> ok, this nvidia-xconfig thing seems to have helped somewhat.
[15:44] <ben__> I'll try the video thing again.
[15:44] <kjell> !crossfire
[15:44] <alex-weej> jla: crossfire-client-gtk2
[15:44] <jla> kjell: I'm sure that will work, but how to find these apps using the user friendly apps?
[15:44] <kjell> Crossfire does not seem to be supported in ubuntu
[15:44] <alex-weej> jla: the metadata for the packages needs to be correct.
[15:44] <ben__> nope, it still sucks.
[15:45] <Favorit> daliang: well, without knowing what your VPN server requires I can't really say if you're using the right VPN client or not. I suppose the best way would be to contact your university tech support to see if they can help you out.
[15:45] <kjell> jla: read this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=689208
[15:45] <ben__> I guess I'll have to do without compiz.
[15:45] <kjell> jla: "
[15:45] <kjell> 2. ATI support is very very bad in linux right now and crossfire is not supported."
[15:45] <Favorit> neither was damn SLi.
[15:45] <jla> kjell: must be the wrong one, the one alex-weej mentioned is it
[15:45] <Droopsta915> Why doesnt my flash player work? I visit any website and have to hit play in order to see the advertisement or whatever that website is trying to show.
[15:45] <Favorit> anyone knows btw, if the latest drivers returned SLi support?
[15:45] <jla> kjell: it's a game
[15:46] <mikeshollen> Favorit: yes for nvidia
[15:46] <kjell> Aaah, my bad then. Sorry jla.
[15:46] <alex-weej> Droopsta915: you installed Gnash or Swfdec
[15:46] <ice_cream> hi, if gnome desktop uses metacity by default, and kde uses kwin (as a wm), and fluxbox is considered a window manager, then what is the desktop environment that controls fluxbox?  o.O
[15:46] <mikeshollen> Favorit: I have sli working on hardy
[15:46] <alex-weej> Droopsta915: you probably want the Adobe Flash Player
[15:46] <Droopsta915> alex-weej: I installed both.
[15:46] <alex-weej> ice_cream: bash
[15:46] <Favorit> mikeshollen: aha. gotta give it a try again. last time i checked it didn't recognize any of the cards. :(
[15:46] <jla> kjell, alex-weej how does the average user find crossfire, gcompris or fwcutter to install from ubuntu? How to fix or bug this metadata?
[15:46] <alex-weej> Droopsta915: uninstall gnash and swfdec
[15:47] <alex-weej> Droopsta915: adobe flash player will take over
[15:47] <Favorit> mikeshollen: although i tried on intrepid, but i doubt it would be much different
[15:47] <souldure> anyone know why my compiz shuts off randomly?
[15:47] <ice_cream> alex-weej, and more seriously?
[15:47] <Droopsta915> alex-wee:Do you know the command for the adobe flash install?
[15:48] <Favorit> souldure: how about looking in some logfiles instead of repeating the same question all the time? :)
[15:48] <souldure> you have to install adobe through wine
[15:48] <beargins> O_O
[15:48] <beargins> uberness
[15:48] <beargins> hehe
[15:48] <alex-weej> Droopsta915: sudo apt-get remove gnash swfdec && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[15:48] <beargins> how are u all
[15:48] <FloodBot1> beargins: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:48] <Droopsta915> souldure:sorry I don't use wine
[15:48] <beargins> ok thanks flood bot
[15:48] <alex-weej> Droopsta915: ignore him, he doesn't know what he's saying
[15:48] <Droopsta915> alex-wee:thanks
[15:48] <mikeshollen> Favorit: actually it might
[15:49] <mikeshollen> Favorit: I had a terrible time with graphic drivers with intrepid and i switched to hardy which solved all those issues
[15:49] <souldure> favorit: what log files should i look at
[15:49] <souldure> ?
[15:49] <alex-weej> souldure: type this command in a terminal: ubuntu-bug -p compiz
[15:49] <daliang> Favorit:there is a example in my university but under window.From that i can know all i need to use vpn connect to my university lib is a fill "vpn.****.cn"in the blank and i user name come with a password. and what should i do with ubuntu? thank you!

[15:56] <alex-weej> daliang: but if it doesn't just figure it out itself it's a bug.

[16:02]  * ice_cream is not going to guess
[16:02] <daliang> alex-weej:you just have to expanstion english
[16:02] <alex-weej> daliang: is that Intrepid?
[16:02] <alex-weej> daliang: or Hardy?
[16:02] <daliang> alex-weej:8.10
[16:02] <alex-weej> daliang: did you choose PPTP?
[16:02] <alex-weej> or some other type
[16:03] <alex-weej> because on my system, i don't have that many options for PPTP
[16:03] <daliang> alex-weej:i am sorry i not good at english.i don't know what's pptp
[16:03] <alex-weej> PPTP is the name of the protocol used by Microsoft VPN systems
[16:03] <alex-weej> daliang: your university almost certainly uses PPTP
[16:04] <daliang> alex-weej:http://www.vpn.jxufe.cn/vpn/VPN.htm
[16:04] <daliang> alex-weej:i think you are right
[16:04] <alex-weej> daliang: so install network-manager-pptp
[16:04] <alex-weej> daliang: and when you go to create a VPN connection, choose PPTP
[16:04] <alex-weej> "Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol"
[16:05] <daliang> alex-weej:what's the meaning of "groupname"
[16:05] <rainmanp7> .
[16:05] <alex-weej> daliang: i have no idea. it has no relevance to PPTP.
[16:05] <alex-weej> daliang: you chose the wrong VPN type.
[16:05] <alex-weej> CHOOSE PPTP!
[16:05] <FloodBot1> alex-weej: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:06] <daliang> alex-weej:ok let me try
