[22:41] <usr13> Ackdar_:   Well, if you have the wep key set and the essid set properly and the IP address in the correct range, it will work.
[22:41] <orion-uk> have u tried manual config?
[22:41] <rbs-tito> riotkittie: Linkpot.net is better :)

[22:42] <Ackdar_> but... there could be an IP clash between enet and wifi
[22:42] <usr13> Ackdar_: Ackdar_  Paste the results of   iwconfig   on pastebin.ca  and we'll have a look.
[22:42] <usr13> or go to private channel.
[22:43] <rbs-tito> X-Forte: Are you familiar with ndiswrapper?
[22:43] <X-Forte> no rbs-tito
[22:43] <nintendo64> I downloaded Xchat and I extracted it to some file, but I can't find the file to open xchat
[22:43] <X-Forte> why rbs-tito ?
[22:43] <dissection> What is wmaster0, and how do I get rid of it?
[22:44] <Ackdar_> http://www.rafb.net/p/yPnZ0t60.html
[22:44] <SinCosTan> How do I force removal of a package in Synaptic without removing the dependencies as well?
[22:44] <rbs-tito> X-Forte: It is a program that lets you install the wireless drivers for windows on linux. Do you know which broadcom chipset you have?
[22:44] <Ackdar_> good thing I already posted that earlier
[22:44] <slava_> i have a 'breezy badger' install and apt-get doesn't work
[22:44] <X-Forte> yes
[22:44] <slava_> were the pacakges removed from distribution sites?
[22:44] <X-Forte> i know
[22:44] <slava_> Err http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com breezy/main Packages
[22:44] <slava_>   404 Not Found
[22:45] <X-Forte> Broadcom BCM4318
[22:45] <X-Forte> :)
[22:45] <EminX> Hi to all
[22:45] <mycroftiv> nintendo64: you should use the ubuntu repositories to install software, ubuntu has premade packages of xchat that can be installed on your system automatically, you can use the synaptic package manager for a good graphical tool to install what you need
[22:45] <X-Forte> that is the chipset
[22:45] <Ackdar_> slava_, did you use sudo apt-get install <pkg>?
[22:45] <nintendo64> ok..
[22:45] <nintendo64> O.o
[22:45] <X-Forte> and the drivers in ubuntu
[22:45] <X-Forte> are
[22:45] <slava_> Ackdar_, yeah, that doesn't work, and apt-get update reports 404's for package indices
[22:45] <X-Forte> Broadcom 43xx
[22:45] <masmota> nintendo64:  go to administration and click on synaptic.. then search for xchat
[22:45] <X-Forte> but
[22:45] <X-Forte> is a problem
[22:45] <X-Forte> in loading
[22:45] <EminX> was there a # channel for compiz
[22:45] <usr13> Ackdar_: ESSID:off/any
[22:45] <X-Forte> when
[22:46] <X-Forte> i start the laptop
[22:46] <X-Forte> is that problem in ubuntu
[22:46] <MrNintendo> i guess nobody can help me =[
[22:46] <rbs-tito> X-Forte: OK, first thing to do is press alt + f2 and into the run box type "gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist"
[22:46] <X-Forte> the drivers can-t load
[22:46] <usr13> Ackdar_: You do not have a fully supported wireless nic.
[22:46] <Ackdar_> hrm
[22:46] <slava_> looks like breezy-badger packages have disappeared off the face of the earth
[22:46] <Ackdar_> I knew that
[22:46] <X-Forte> i try in safe mode
[22:46] <Ackdar_> so I installed the bcm43xx firmware
[22:46] <X-Forte> and the same
[22:46] <usr13> Ackdar_: You will need to get a fully supported wireless NIC or turn off encription on the router.
[22:46] <X-Forte> luck
[22:46] <X-Forte> Ackdar_
[22:46] <theaceoffire> Anyone know of a program for Ubuntu that can manage total upload/download speed?

[22:47] <X-Forte> i'm in windows
[22:47] <slava_> this sucks
[22:47] <X-Forte> if i restart
[22:47] <SinCosTan> How do I (temporarily) remove a package without removing all of the dependent packages as well in Synaptic?
[22:47] <slava_> so i have to upgrade to 7.10 if i want to apt-get ncurses-dev??
[22:47] <X-Forte> i don't have connection
[22:47] <X-Forte> in ubuntu
[22:47] <X-Forte> i have wireless connection
[22:47] <slava_> ubuntu is so buggy and crappy i've been afraid of upgrading for the last two years
[22:47] <X-Forte> rbs-tito
[22:47] <X-Forte> what i can do
[22:47] <X-Forte> the new version
[22:48] <slava_> i just need to apt-get install ncurses-dev on breezybadger
[22:48] <jsschmid> it always fails when trying to mount the installation files from the usb stick during the actual installation

[22:48] <usr13> Ackdar_: Just looked at  http://www.rafb.net/p/yPnZ0t60.html  and it appears that you do not have wep key set and you do not have essid set.  Furthermore, you will not be able to use encription unless you get a fully supported wireless NIC.  And as far as I know, that is not a fully supported NIC.
[22:48] <jsschmid> it says ńo such device' ... any ideas
[22:48] <jsschmid> ?
[22:49] <rbs-tito> X-Forte: The problem is that the linux drivers are rubbish. That guide will show you how to blacklist and remove the linux drivers and instead get the Windows drivers working on linux
[22:49] <AncientRelic> I just got a 750Gb drive and am formatting it with GPartEd as ext3, but it seems to eat 35Gb off the top of the drive when I do. Is that normal?

[22:51] <pablo> hello
[22:51] <tuna> thanks
[22:51] <usr13> Ackdar_: Then you will need to trun of wep on the router, because you will not be able to set wep on that card.
[22:51] <bluefox83> MrNintendo, use the raw drive's formatting software to format it to something, then try again
[22:51] <astx813> I can no longer switch virtual desktops using CTRL-ALT-arrow, and I don't even know where to begin troubleshooting this one.  Anyone run into this before?

[22:51] <rbs-tito> X-Forte: I don't think Windows drivers are preinstalled in any version
[22:51] <masmota> astx813:  yea but a reboot solved it :/
[22:52] <usr13> Ackdar_: You're just going to have to dig up another wireless card somewhere.

[22:52] <MrNintendo> windows*
[22:52] <bluefox83> MrNintendo, the drive should have come with a cd
[22:52] <masmota> astx813:  in my case it was the compiz window switcher

[23:00] <bluefox83> i've purchased two seagate HD's and one western digital, they all came with format cd's and i'm surprised yours didn't
[23:00] <bob3000> i type in sudo root
[23:00] <astx813> masmota, how would you word this one?  Compiz was configured for 4 desktops, but when compiz was off, the computer was set to only 1.
[23:00] <theaceoffire> Hi, I need to control my upload and my download speeds for the whole computer... O.O JUST like bobgill... anyone know of an application that we could use to control the speeds?
[23:00] <Jimmey> bobgill, try using the router's controls at http://<IP_ADDRESS>
[23:00] <MrNintendo> mines 2 hitachis and 1 maxtor
[23:00] <bob3000> and then the password
[23:00] <theaceoffire> O.o nifty
[23:00] <ompaul> bob3000, no you don't need to be root and that is not a command
[23:00] <aixguru1> Anyone had issues with 7.10 on a laptop with the grub-installer?  When I go in and try to manually fix it, seems stage1 is corrupt after the install.
[23:00] <usr13> jsschmid: lsusb
[23:00] <gigirock> hi nightubuntuuser ! What is the way to back to default appareance ?
[23:00] <bob3000> it says authentication failure
[23:00] <rbs-tito> bob3000: Ah, Ubuntu has root disabled by default
[23:00] <bob3000> oh
[23:00] <bob3000> lol
[23:00] <astx813> So I had to kill compiz, set the number of desktops in the normal mode, then reenable compiz and now it works
[23:00] <rbs-tito> !sudo | bob3000
[23:00] <ubotu> bob3000: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[23:00] <jsschmid> usr13: so if i wont see anything, for what reason would that be
[23:00] <MrNintendo> fyi bluefox83 its not a portable hdd its a internal drive
[23:00] <rbs-tito> bob3000: Just run sudo command
[23:00] <bob3000> well i am trying to do that
[23:00] <masmota> astx813:  not sure what ur asking?
[23:01] <MrNintendo> i got 2 portable hdd's that came with formating discs
[23:01] <tuna> using the init script priorities that exist in bum, what is the priority that gets started first? 99 or 00?
[23:01] <Jen> hmm, just configuring shorewall for the first time. The manpages says to use $FW, but i've found more than one 'how-to' that just uses fw. What should I be using?
[23:01] <SvanteLinux> can someone assist me on workspace issues? I can no longer drag and drop windows between workspaces and I have only one desktop "active" down to the left, whats up with this?
[23:01] <bob3000> let me start at the beginnnig
[23:01] <rbs-tito> bob3000: You can run sudo su if you want a root shell
[23:01] <MrNintendo> and fyi i dont want to format the drives
[23:01] <bluefox83> MrNintendo, i've never delt with external drives before...
[23:01] <usr13> jsschmid: lsusb    should show you the device.  If not, you are missing kernel module, may need to issue command:  modprobe usb_storage
[23:01] <jsschmid> shouldnt the kernel of the actual ubuntu version have support for usb-masstorrage
[23:01] <MrNintendo> ok
[23:01] <bob3000> heres what happened:...
[23:01] <ConstyXIV> is there any program that'll do an audio-only rip of a DVD?
[23:01] <usr13> jsschmid: Yes, it should
[23:01] <bobgill> Jimmey: I cannot find an option in the router config for it
[23:01] <jsschmid> usr13: ok, will try that and be back, thanks!
[23:01] <MrNintendo> i installed 7.04 before with no problem but i cannot install 7.10 =\
[23:01] <theaceoffire> trying to cap my computers internet access speed to be more considerate. If no one knows of any ideas, does anyone have some search tearms I can look for?
[23:01] <ibookG4> masmota: I can't do ifconfig because I'm during boot CD installation
[23:02] <Jeffrey> how come i cant go higher on my resolution im stuck at 1024x768
[23:02] <usr13> jsschmid:  If you do not you see in the output of   fdisk -l  /dev/sd*   or lsusb    You're not going to be able to mount it.
[23:02] <MrNintendo> lol
[23:02] <bob3000> everything was fine and I had access to all the programs user 'system' 'administrtor'...
[23:02] <masmota> ibookg4:  you should still be able to start a terminal and do sudo ifconfig eth0 down
[23:02] <bluefox83> theaceoffire, bandwidth throttling
[23:02] <theaceoffire> Thanks.
[23:02] <bob3000> then, I created some new users...
[23:02] <bob3000> then I changed my password...
[23:02] <bob3000> when I logged back in after restarting....
[23:03] <xEmblem> uhh
[23:03] <bob3000> I no longer have access to most of the programs under system - administration
[23:03] <ibookG4> masmota, I've the problem without internet connection
[23:03] <xEmblem> is it possible to install upgrades with qemu?
[23:03] <rbs-tito> bob3000: Can you access te users and groups program?
[23:03] <bob3000> how can i get that back- somehow i lost my privies
[23:03] <bob3000> rbs-tito: no its one of the programs I cant access
[23:04] <ConstyXIV> is there any program that'll do an audio-only rip of a DVD?
[23:04] <rbs-tito> bob3000: Can you run sudo passwd ?
[23:04] <etherael> where is the garbage bin located on the actual disk? I have an itinerant directory refusing to budge I will need to rm -rf with sudo
[23:04] <bob3000> rbs-tito: how?
[23:04] <bluefox83> i noticed earlier that i lost my access to write to my trash folder...i had to mess with privileges
[23:04] <EminX> which is the best media player for ubuntu, and how can I install it
[23:04] <rbs-tito> etherael: Something like .trash, it is in the home folder
[23:04] <sunilonln> if i have only ubuntu installed at the moment and want to switch to dual-boot with xp, is there any way of doing so without having to completely wipe ubuntu first?
[23:05] <rbs-tito> bob3000: Type sudo passwd
[23:05] <masmota> ibookg4:  maybe i misunderstood the question.. your hanging at 82% when it tries to contact a mirror right?
[23:05] <bob3000> ok now what?
[23:05] <gigirock> how to change desktop icons size ?
[23:05] <lysdexic1> does anybody know how i'd get the location of any mount of a dev, for example if /dev/mmcblk0 was mounted on /media/disk, i could run a command, pass it /dev/mmcblk0 and it'd return me /media/disk?
[23:05] <Jeffrey> how come i cant go higher on my resolution im stuck at 1024x768
[23:05] <ibookG4> masmota, yes right, but I'm installing ubuntu 7.10 from CD
[23:05] <Jimmey> sunilonln, it depends on the HDD setup, but you maybe can boot into a liveCD, resize the ubuntu partition, install XP in the empty space, then re-install GRUB afterward.
[23:05] <bob3000> rbs-tito: okay now what?
[23:06] <usr13> lysdexic1: mount
[23:06] <aixguru1> Sunilonin:   If you installed XP, then booted back up with a CD, and manually reinstall your bootloader, that would work.  You would need to have the partitions setup already though.  Probably using something like partition magic or similar
[23:06] <Jimmey> lysdexic1, mount ?
[23:06] <rbs-tito> bob3000: You should hae had the option to change the root password. Then type "su root" and the password, yo should be able to alter priveleges
[23:06] <Frogzoo> theaceoffire: maybe..:  http://wlug.org.nz/TrafficShaping
[23:06] <sunilonln> Jimmey, aixguru1: thanks
[23:06] <w4ett> sunilonln:  xp needs to be installed first..then Ununtu
[23:06] <Jimmey> lysdexic1, mount | grep /dev/XXXX
[23:06] <masmota> ibookg4:  ok when the cd is booted, before clicking install go to accessories > terminal and run "sudo ifconfig eth0 down" .. that should stop it from contacting the mirrors
[23:06] <lysdexic1> jimmey, usr13: i'd like to use it in a bash script, is there a more elegant way than grepping a mount output?
[23:06] <Jeffrey> help me pa favor
[23:06] <usr13> lysdexic1: Issue command:  mount  |grep /dev/xxx
[23:06] <bob3000> rbs-tito: after i typed in sudo passwd it went a line down - should i now type in the new pass?
[23:06] <masmota> ibookg4:  you may have to do eth1 too if you have more than 1 nic
[23:07] <xEmblem> is it possible to install upgrades with qemu?
[23:07] <Jimmey> sunilonln, XP doesn't need to be installed first, but it does need to be onthe first drive.
[23:07] <Jeffrey> ay me deus
[23:07] <sunilonln> Jimmey: i've only got one drive, so i think i'm fine there
[23:07] <Jeffrey> ajudem pa favor
[23:07] <ibookG4> masmota, thank you for suggests, I understood
[23:07] <Jeffrey> !list server
[23:07] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about list server - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[23:08] <eriks> Hey all! I have a problem with the fglrx driver and compiz.. All works fine but the video playback is not at all watchable. With no compiz video playback works flawlessley.. Any general advice?
[23:08] <masmota> np
[23:08] <lysdexic1> usr13: i'd then have to use cut to get just where it's mounted i suppose?  might become awkward if there are spaces in the mount
[23:08] <usr13> Jimmey: sunilonln   Correction:  First partition  of drive
[23:08] <Jimmey> sunilonln, then you need to boot the liveCD, resize the Ubuntu partition, then install XP in the empty space. After XP is installed and working, use the liveCD again, and sort GRUB
[23:08] <sunilonln> Jimmey: it looks like i can shrink my ubuntu partition with gparted, create a fat partition in that empty space, run the windows installer to that partition, and then restore grub
[23:08] <MtJB> is it true dell has dumped ubuntu in the uk, as the inquirer is reporting?
[23:08] <Jimmey> usr13: ?
[23:08] <usr13> lysdexic1: Not understanding your question.  Please rephrase.
[23:09] <Jeffrey> ay meu deus ajudem fida putas
[23:09] <Jimmey> sunilonln, sure - But NTFS may be better...
[23:09] <sunilonln> ok
[23:09] <sunilonln> sounds good
[23:09] <usr13> Jimmey: sunilonln   Correction:  MS Windows must be installed on the first partition   of the  drive
[23:09] <Jimmey> sunilonln, just resize the partition, XP can install in the emtpy space
[23:10] <ibookG4> masmota: just for only my curiosity..... I've had that error without launch commad ifconfig..bla..bla during installation.... at 82% I've done pppoeconf and I'm connecting to the internet hoping that mirror refresh with internet UP
[23:10] <Jimmey> usr13, it doesn't - It needs to be on the first drive of the computer, partitions don't come into it then
[23:10] <Jeffrey> help me !
[23:10] <lysdexic1> usr13: i need to return where a device is mounted in a bash script, mount | grep blah returns "/dev/mmcblk0 on /media/Memory card type", i'd then have to use 'cut' to get just /media/Memory card i assume?
[23:10] <bawlz> Ubuntu refuses to boot from the cd, it says "CD read error." When I try to run the Ubuntu in windows with autoplay, it says loading and then does nothing... Any Suggestions?
[23:10] <vontux> does anyone in here regularly share files with a friend's computer? if so what method do you use?
[23:10] <theaceoffire> Frogzoo, thanks for the tip, I am going to check out wlug as an option...
[23:10] <Mookie> can someone help me find out why ccsm wont work? or maybe at least how to get gl desktop to start oin startup
[23:10] <abe> vontux,  i use ssh/scp
[23:10] <bob3000> rbs-tito: im just getting authentication failure
[23:11] <usr13> lysdexic1: Oh. I see....
[23:11] <masmota> ibookg4:  the problem happened to me as well - it happens when your internet connection is only *partly* configured
[23:11] <vontux> abe: I'll look into those
[23:11] <sunilonln> Jimmey: do i have to resize the partition from livecd, or can i just do it in gparted from my current ubuntu install?
[23:11] <axjv> Does anyone know of any stable drivers for a 945GM besides i810? (intel isn't too stable)
[23:11] <abe> !scp
[23:11] <ubotu> SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/
[23:11] <bawlz> Ubuntu refuses to boot from the cd, it says "CD read error." When I try to run the Ubuntu in windows with autoplay, it says loading and then does nothing... Any Suggestions?
[23:11] <Jimmey> sunilonln, from the liveCD - you can't resize a currently mounted partition, and you can't unmount your / partition.
[23:11] <sunilonln> axjv: i've used both i810 and intel and they're stable for me
[23:11] <ibookG4> masmota: do you have ibook too?
[23:11] <vontux> abe: and you do this over the internet, not over a local network?
[23:11] <sunilonln> Jimmey: ah, that makes sense
[23:11] <sunilonln> thanks
[23:12] <abe> vontux, both
[23:12] <demon_spork> bawlz, you may have to redownload the ISO, it is probably corrupt
[23:12] <masmota> ibookg4:  no but the wireless on my laptop kept setting DHCP up, but not setting up the gateway.   so at 82%  every mirror would "time out"
[23:12] <Jimmey> sunilonln, you're welcome
[23:12] <axjv> sunilonln: With intel, the laptop screen doesn't blank when I shut the lid. With i810, I've had some issues with games that worked fine in intel.
[23:12] <usr13> lysdexic1: Not sure, would have to experiment with it abit.
[23:12] <macsim> anybody knows if it's possible to have ubuntu with 2 languages ? one user in french and an other in english for exemple
[23:13] <lysdexic1> usr13: that was pretty much my thinking, was just wondering if there was a quick way. thanks
[23:13] <vontux> abe: so do you basically give your friend your computer's password and have them log into it using an ssh session, and then let they use scp to copy files to their computer?
[23:13] <demon_spork> macsim, I believe so
[23:13] <ibookG4> masmota: ok I'll try this night
[23:13] <masmota> ibookg4: ok, good luck!
[23:14] <macsim> demon_spork, where can I specify the user locale ? I mean without using the terminal
[23:14] <aixguru1> I am getting a "Executing 'grub-install (hd0)' failed.   This is a fatal error message"  From the installer on 7.10.
[23:14] <Jimmey> vontux, you can create a user account for your friend on your computer that they can log into remotely
[23:14] <abe> vontux, yes, but i make them an account, so he only can put files in his folders and then you can use nautilus ssh://ip and you are in
[23:14] <Jimmey> vontux, the designate a directory that you can both read from/write to
[23:14] <demon_spork> masim, Just a sec, I am looking for it
[23:14] <RedB14> anyone hava a solution of this problem : "no volume control gstremer plugins and/or devices found" ?
[23:14] <macsim> demon_spork, thanks
[23:15] <vontux> Jimmey, abe: thank you greatly I shall try this out tonight, my friend uses windows, I forgot does windows have an ssh utility?
[23:15] <abe> !scp
[23:15] <ubotu> SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/
[23:15] <vontux> abe: thank you :)
[23:16] <abe> vontux, for larger files you can use rsync, have a more complex sintax but it supporte resume
[23:16] <propagandhi> howdy. I'm running gutsy and can connect to port 25 from localhost and from the internet but not the local network......
[23:16] <theneb> Hi all, how can I reconfigure X to how my screen was detected on install in 7.10? Using the GUI configurator has just messed things up
[23:16] <propagandhi> there are no iptables rules in place except for port 80 redirection to 3128
[23:16] <vontux> abe: thx
[23:17] <abe> theneb, did you try sudo apt-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[23:17] <demon_spork> macsim, I am not sure there is a GUI, I thought I had seen it, but I guess not.  Sorry to dissappoint :(
[23:17] <Jimmey> abe, theneb, I think it's sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[23:17] <axjv> Can anyone help me? The "blank screen when lid is closed" doesn't work with the intel driver.
[23:17] <abe> jimjam, yeah that :)
[23:17] <theneb> abe: will try now
[23:18] <abe> theneb, is like Jimmey says
[23:18] <propagandhi> anybody with some ideas for me?
[23:18] <jimjam> abe: What?
[23:18] <astx813> The Show Desktop plugin doesn't have a tab to assign the hotkey.  So how do you do it?

[23:18] <Jimmey> Jimjam, I think he meant me. Sorry
[23:18] <drx0drx0>  is copying files from ext3 to a Windows XP Pro share using smb://<ip> via Network Servers reliable?
[23:18] <macsim> demon_spork, no problem, my problem is special lol (life is hard) I have a german friend how lives in france, and he want to know if he can uses ubuntu in german for him, french for his son, and english for his wife ;)
[23:18] <aixguru1> does anyone know where grub.conf is supposed to be generated at during installation?  the grub installer is failing from the installation script.
[23:18] <abe> yes, sorry :)
[23:19] <macsim> demon_spork, I know it's possible with the locale in term but no idea if there is a easy way
[23:19] <guest> whats the image thats booted up at the beging to add to my grub menu

[23:20] <etherael> anybody worked with bluetooth pan devices under ubuntu?

[23:20] <NightKnight> Greetings, My question is: I have 2 HDs, (Dual Boot). I need to Format Windows, but I was wondering if that would erase the GRUB files?
[23:20] <Jimmey> NightKnight, how do you mean

[23:21] <etherael> NightKnight: Format windows? Do you mean erase the partition windows is on?
[23:21] <etherael> NightKnight: Or reinstall windows?
[23:21] <vontux> NightKnight: nope, unless you reinstall another windows, which will erase grub from the mbr, but not from the /boot directory
[23:21] <NightKnight> Jimmey, Eherael. Not at all, I have 2 Separate HDs. I am going to re roll from WIN64 to WIN32.
[23:21] <Prez> hello
[23:22] <demon_spork> NightKnight, it would erase the grub code in the MBR if you reinstall Windows
[23:22] <etherael> So you're going to reinstall a different version of windows, yes?
[23:22] <NightKnight> Demon_Spork: Any way to solve that Issue?
[23:22] <erUSUL> ubotu tell NightKnight about grub | NightKnight see priv msg from ubotu
[23:22] <demon_spork> NightKnight, but you can boot from the Ubuntu LiveCD after installing windows and then resetup GRUB.

[23:25] <NightKnight> Ah! Thanks, I hadn't seen the Ubotu Message. :-) Thanks guys!
[23:25] <demon_spork> NightKnight, yes, and then just simply google "ubuntu recovering grub" and follow the instructions in the first result

[23:29] <Shapeshifter> Lishious: you're trying to reinstall grub?

[23:34] <Lishious> mandriva linux didnt reconize ubunto so i have to add manually but i dont know the settings
[23:34] <me8myself> !audio
[23:34] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[23:34] <x_> please..
[23:34] <jj420> no its not checked
[23:34] <Shapeshifter> Lishious: I see. Well the mandriva people could help you as well. anyway, are you in a console?
[23:34] <Jeffrey> jj420, what is your idle time set as ?
[23:35] <kakoonia> someone here is fromiliour with xhotkeys?
[23:35] <x_> its not the sound, the picture
[23:35] <shoot^> guys- i need to use a restricted driver for my wireless (i need to be able to enable the wireless to be able to connect to the internet). When i try to enable it in the Restricted Drivers manager, it refuses to enable (tick the box, click enable, and box remains "unticked"). How can i fix this?
[23:35] <Jeffrey> jj420, do you have your options set to never in power management ?
[23:35] <jj420> yes
[23:35] <Lishious> console? sorry im a complete noob at this im on a desktop:S?

[23:35] <jj420> 2 hours
[23:35] <jj420> and it happens every 10 mins
[23:36] <Jeffrey> jj420, try enabling the screen saver
[23:36] <Shapeshifter> Lishious: start a terminal.
[23:36] <Lishious> k, done
[23:36] <Jeffrey> jj420, and leave the idle time at 2 hours
[23:36] <Jeffrey> see if that fixes it
[23:37] <Shapeshifter> Lishious: su to root, I don't know how to do that in mandriva, I guess you know
[23:37] <jj420> is there a command i can type maybe the gui isnt setting the settings right?
[23:37] <Shapeshifter> Lishious: just be a root user in that terminal ;)
[23:37] <Lishious> yeah i no sudo,, kay done
[23:37] <kst-> is there a way to protect evolution via password?
[23:37] <Jeffrey> jj420, that would be the case if you x'd out and when you re-enter your settings were not saved
[23:38] <Shapeshifter> Lishious: run these commands:
[23:38] <jj420> ok
[23:38] <vontux> thx to all who assisted me
[23:38] <Shapeshifter> Lishious: 1. command: "grub" , then 2. "find /boot/grub/stage1" and tell me the output
[23:39] <javaJake> Lemme put this all in one message:  I'm trying to help someone with a PPC LiveCD. Since I don't know what he's seeing (since I've never used Gutsy PPC version), I don't know what to tell him to do.

[23:40] <demon_spork> How do I run firefox on 2 different X sessions?  whenever I have it opened on one X session, and then try to open it on another it just says "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. to open a new window, you must first close the existing firefox process, or restart your system."
[23:40] <javaJake> !flood | Lishious
[23:40] <ubotu> Lishious: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[23:40] <NineTails> sup?
[23:40] <Prez> Shapeshifter: that solution rocked, I can work now, thanks
[23:40] <Shapeshifter> Lishious: nice, next time, please use a pastebin ;) anyway: do you have an idea in which order you installed those two linux distros on your harddrive?
[23:41] <ArthurArchnix> Yes! Bruce89 in the forums showed me how to disable all the "who's coming / who's going nonsense".
[23:41] <Shapeshifter> Prez: yeah, it looks shitty though ^^ I hope they'll fix that soon....
[23:41] <x_> buhuuuu
[23:41] <ArthurArchnix> In pidgeon's main window, >tools >plugins >join/part plugin
[23:41] <Lishious> yeah so far this is what i have going and sorry for th eflood im new to irc as well,,, i insatlled rsit Winxp,Yoper,Ubunto,And finshing mandriva i just need to finsh config grub
[23:41] <ArthurArchnix> Much cleaner and easier to read.
[23:41] <javaJake> ArthurArchnix, I use XChat - much better client. ;)
[23:42] <Lishious> first winxp...*
[23:42] <javaJake> Lishious, quite an array of OSs! :)
[23:42] <MajorPayne> Ohh! irssi is the only IRC client that counts.
[23:42] <javaJake> MajorPayne, GUI rocks, though. :D
[23:42] <degreseven> does anyone else have major stability issues with firefox? i t freezes for several seconds for me almost every time i open a new tab, and it completely crashes at least a couple times a day.
[23:42] <Lishious> haha well i have ubunto because its deb atleast i think!
[23:42] <Shapeshifter> Lishious: Ok, what text editor have you installed?
[23:42] <Evanlec> wth is Yoper
[23:42] <Ashex> Telnet > irssi
[23:42] <MajorPayne> javaJake: It doesn't work with screen.
[23:43] <Ashex> it's way hardcore
[23:43] <javaJake> MajorPayne, hahahaha
[23:43] <Shapeshifter> Lishious: or which one, kde or gnome?
[23:43] <Ashex> you can show off by having to respond to the server pings manually
[23:43] <Ashex> otherwise you get disconnected
[23:43] <Lishious> k
[23:43] <Evanlec> lol ashex
[23:43] <Jeffrey> how come i am restricted to 1024x768 resolution
[23:43] <Lishious> knotes, there all k somthing
[23:43] <Shapeshifter> Lishious: no I mean, _which one have you installed?_
[23:43] <NineTails> out of interest
[23:43] <MajorPayne> javaJake: irssi+screen is the way to go.  You only need putty on any computer you are on to access your irc client, without disconnecting.
[23:44] <javaJake> MajorPayne, mhmm
[23:44] <Lishious> kde i dont have any gnome stuff
[23:44] <MajorPayne> javaJake: putty for Windows computers that is.  Any ssh client will do.
[23:44] <Shapeshifter> Lishious: ok, run this: knote /boot/grub/menu.lst
[23:44] <javaJake> MajorPayne, or Xming (which comes with putty) and you can remotely command an XChat window...
[23:44] <Evanlec> i like irssi but havent figured screen out yet
[23:44] <javaJake> MajorPayne, ;0
[23:44] <javaJake> MajorPayne, ;)
[23:44] <MajorPayne> javaJake: Yea, but then you have a huge GUI to worry about.
[23:44] <MajorPayne> javaJake: irssi is much more efficent.
[23:44] <javaJake> irssi is probably better, but it reminds me of vi. *brrr*
[23:45] <Shapeshifter> Lishious: A file should open having some entries at the bottom
[23:45] <javaJake> Exactly! So is vim - it's efficient, but terribly hard to learn
[23:45]  * Evanlec likes vim
[23:45] <MajorPayne> javaJake: Ahh.  Yea.  Irssi isn't that difficult to learn.
[23:45] <javaJake> So, no one else has installed Ubuntu PPC on an iMac G4, then? :P
[23:46] <Lishious> knote ommand wasnt found so i cahnged it 2 kwrite,,, and theterminal has a bunch of stuff but the kwrite box has nothing written
[23:46] <dudewithtwoheads> hi ubunty community, i have quick question, i
[23:47] <Shapeshifter> Lishious: Ok, please go to the mandriva channel and tell them they should help you add an entry in grub, tell them that you found (hd0,4) and (hd0,6) being the locations of your distros. And, is it the latest ubuntu gutsy?
[23:47] <yoramdavid> hello
[23:47] <Lishious> Shapeshifter: Cant you find out the root by going to /boot/( then the image u boot) its ubunto 7.10
[23:48] <Evanlec> u can also type lsb_release
[23:48] <Lishious> the #mandriva is dead btw they have no one talking:P,
[23:48] <Evanlec> ops, thats not right
[23:49] <kst-> is there something for linux that lets you prompt for a password before you can start an application?
[23:49] <Evanlec> kst-, yea its called file permissions
[23:49] <Comrade-Sergei> how do i make it so x loads normally and i dont have to type "startx" in a command to use it?

[23:49] <neamalternativu> hi ubunty community, i have quick question, would there be any problems instaling ubuntu from usb flash.. or i just have to change default boot in bios ?
[23:50] <Shapeshifter> Lishious: I don't know where mandriva has it's grub menu.lst. You need to find that one, then paste this at the end of the list: http://pastebin.org/7276 read the comment at the beginning, and don't paste it ^^
[23:50] <druggist> trying to install a piece of hardware

[23:50] <druggist> how do i get it to link the driver to the hardware?

[23:50] <ubotu> yoramdavid: By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about  registering your Freenode nick can be found at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration
[23:50] <yoramdavid> thanks

[23:51] <Evanlec> kst-, right click on shortcut, hit properties, permissions tab
[23:51] <Shapeshifter> Lishious: hda means IDE drive, sda means SATA drive btw (or modern IDE controller) you should know which one you will need to use.
[23:51] <kst-> and then?
[23:51] <druggist> tyring to install network card.  i have the driver downloaded, how do i install it?
[23:51] <Evanlec> kst-, set it to what you'd like,
[23:51] <Lishious> alright shapeshifter the thing you sent me, thats the lateest relase of ubnunto right 7.10?
[23:52] <partialinfinity> Hey Evanlec, how'd the network stuff go last night?
[23:52] <Shapeshifter> Lishious: yes.
[23:52] <Comrade-Sergei> how do i make it so x loads normally and i dont have to type "startx" in a command to use it?
[23:52] <Shapeshifter> Lishious: replace the paths if you have an older kernel
[23:52] <Lishious> this may sound dumb but how do i find out my kernel version?
[23:52] <kakoonia> where can i find the bittorrent app launcher?
[23:52] <PriceChild> Lishious, uname -a
[23:52] <scorp123> Lishious: uname -a
[23:52] <Evanlec> partialinfinity, oh, i fixed it, not sure what was wrng, rebooted the router a few times, opened up some doors in between, messed with settings, somehow just started workin again
[23:52] <Lishious> kakoonia: get k torrent
[23:53] <Evanlec> kakoonia, i dont recommend ktorrent if ur running gnome, i would use deluge
[23:53] <neamalternativu> would there be problems installing ubuntu from usb pen drive or is the same like from cd ?
[23:53] <jj420> why do i get a blank screen every 10 mins when watching a movie
[23:53] <druggist> tyring to install network card.  i have the driver downloaded, how do i install it?
[23:53] <Evanlec> jj420, power management settings
[23:53] <partialinfinity> Evenlec, maybe it was your ISP messing with you
[23:53] <axjv> jj420: Is your screensaver set to 10 minutes?
[23:53] <jj420> i have the screen saver set to 2 hours and the power mangment set to never
[23:53] <axjv> Nevermind.
[23:54] <Prez> another one, I upgaded from 7.04, and most everything is right, except it does not load compiz and stuff automatically on login, I have to do this: compiz --replace -c emerald & to get it going, then it works fine.  Can I have the default desktop settings a new install would have had?
[23:54] <Shapeshifter> Lishious: I'm not sure. Is your ubuntu partition mounted?
[23:54] <kakoonia> lishious , Evanlec : when i started downloading a torrent file yesterday, it opened a bittorrent app window.
[23:54] <scorp123> jj420: check your movie player's preferences .... maybe you can change the settings for video rendering.
[23:54] <kakoonia> im on gutsy
[23:54] <Evanlec> partialinfinity, could be, its a small local one, i ping 130 to yahoo.com which is kinda slow imo
[23:54] <Shapeshifter> Prez: Add compiz --fusion to your session
[23:54] <Shapeshifter> Prez: (System/Preferences/Sessions)
[23:54] <partialinfinity> yeah, I'm 29ms to yahoo.com
[23:54] <Evanlec> kakoonia, yea thats the default bittorent client (which sucks)
[23:55] <Evanlec> partialinfinity, yea, something wrong there
[23:55] <Evanlec> partialinfinity, jesus, 250ms just now
[23:55] <jj420> there aint any settings for that in the prefernces and i does it when im not whatching movies also
[23:55] <kakoonia> Evanlec: thanks.. ill look for deluge
[23:56] <partialinfinity> IR Receivers - anyone have any experience with serial port IR receivers?
[23:56] <Prez> Shapeshifter: so the startup program should be compiz, it's checked and command line should be "compiz --fusion" ?
[23:56] <Shapeshifter> Prez: or better add " compiz --replace -c emerald" ^^
[23:56] <Lishious> Shapeshifter: Here i go im rebooting my system in ubunto hopefully it boots!
[23:56] <blue42> partioninfinity: a tiny bit... I use the ones from iguanalabs
[23:56] <druggist> tyring to install network card.  i have the driver downloaded, how do i install it?
[23:57] <Shapeshifter> Lishious: else, please use the ubuntu live cd
[23:57] <Prez> Shapeshifter: I had that, compiz was checked as startup with command line "compiz --replace -c emerald" and nothing, I had to run it manually
[23:57] <Comrade-Sergei> my x server wont start without me going to a recovery mode and doing a start x, is there something i need to edit?
[23:57] <Lishious> alright, i wil be back!
[23:57] <partialinfinity> Blue42, (hut hut) did you have any trouble getting yours to work?  I've tried following all the guides online and I got my receiver's LED to light ONCE but after a reboot it stopped working again
[23:57] <deadlylife> Is there a channel on this server or a seperate server for the Planeshift MMOPRG?
[23:58] <Shapeshifter> Prez: Mh, I had that too sometime ago. Now I don't even have to have it ticked. ^^ you could try reinstalling compiz (your configs will not get lost) or you can try and ask at #compiz-fusion
[23:58] <deadlylife> Or any Linux MMOPRGs.
[23:58] <Prez> Shapeshifter: will do, thanks again
[23:58] <mikebot> If I have an image file, and I want to print it out on 16 pages (not 16 copies, but so that it is very large), how can I do that?
[23:58] <blue42> partialinfinity: I assume you're using LIRC?
[23:58] <partialinfinity> yes
[23:58] <jj420> anyone have any ideas why i get a blank screen every 10 mins with my power management turned to never and screen saver set to 2 hours
