[12:00] <tonyyarusso> cwillu: I don't see anything in there.
[12:00] <debugger> where can I get the  oprofile-modules0.9 package that is listed at http://packages.ubuntu.com/breezy/devel/oprofile-common/ ?
[12:00] <tonyyarusso> cwillu: Bah, didn't read first.
[12:01] <cwillu> tonyyarusso:  do a man sudoers
[12:01] <tonyyarusso> cwillu: So how would one go about adding that then?

[12:02] <CaptainMorgan> !ubotu hdd
[12:02] <ubotu> CaptainMorgan: Not a clue. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[12:02] <SpComb> CaptainMorgan: formated it?
[12:02] <SpComb> you need a valid fs to mount....
[12:02] <CaptainMorgan> SpComb, no!... ah.. fs...
[12:02] <CaptainMorgan> hmm
[12:02] <SpComb> heh
[12:02] <CaptainMorgan> got stuff I need to restore..
[12:02] <SpComb> mount works on filesystems ;)

[12:03] <SpComb> not on physical disks
[12:03] <SpComb> well, you need a partition on it
[12:03] <CaptainMorgan> so i can't access it through Linux?
[12:03] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell nuke about msg the bot
[12:03] <SpComb> depends, NTFS?
[12:03] <CaptainMorgan> got one on there..
[12:03] <Kurt> why do Democrats hate Jews?
[12:03] <CaptainMorgan> I believe it may have been NTFS
[12:03] <CaptainMorgan> yes
[12:03] <cwillu> kurt, that's a good way to get kicked
[12:03] <gnomefreak> Kurt: go to a different channel with that topic
[12:03] <SpComb> CaptainMorgan: then it should really work...
[12:03] <Kurt> gnomefreak: all I want is an answer
[12:03] <CaptainMorgan> but I was stupid three years ago... so it may be fat adn it was a win sys
[12:04] <SpComb> hmm, what ide bus master/slave?
[12:04] <nuke> gnomefreak i will pm ubotu next time :)
[12:04] <gnomefreak> cwillu: he has been banned the other day for same topic
[12:04] <jjs01h> oh. i see. the 1600x1200 vs 1920x1280 limitation is with xorg... this page suggests applying a patch and recompiling it. sounds like a pain :\
[12:04] <cwillu> lol
[12:04] <cwillu> thought he seemed familiar :)
[12:04] <SpComb> CaptainMorgan: what IDE bus do you have it on? Master or slave?
[12:04] <gnomefreak> Kurt: not here now please go to another channel with that question
[12:04] <djm62> what an idiot
[12:04] <mel_> hello
[12:04] <CaptainMorgan> should be master
[12:04] <Celestianpower> Okay, done
[12:04] <cwillu> I'm pretty sure he's the reason I knew it was a kickable offense :)
[12:04] <SpComb> primary or secondary?
[12:04] <gnomefreak> he was banned from offtopic and here same day
[12:04] <tim_> i am trying to setup sofware raid 0 on a few drives, is there any utilities other than mdadm that might be a little easier to use
[12:04] <CaptainMorgan> primary SpComb
[12:05] <Kurt> gnomefreak: an answer is all I request
[12:05] <CaptainMorgan> yes
[12:05] <jjs01h> is there a package i can apt-get that will provide support of this intel 915 graphics card? its currently set up as an 815, etc
[12:05] <Celestianpower> Reset the router and rebooted
[12:05] <SpComb> CaptainMorgan: try fdisk -l /dev/hda
[12:05] <gnomefreak> !ops
[12:05] <ubotu> Help! lilo, fabbione, lamont, Keybuk, jdub, mdz, Amaranth, tritium, ajmitch, crimsun, ogra, CarlK, Seveas, Burgundavia, apokryphos, thoreauputic, nalioth, Madpilot, ompaul, rob or Hobbsee
[12:05] <jcuk> :'(, Ubuntu, installed fine, started x (fine) log in, mouse loads, brown background... nothing else loads up?
[12:05] <SpComb> it'll list the partitions
[12:05] <nickrud> Kurt, go away, please
[12:05] <nalioth> gnomefreak: yes?
[12:05] <rob> ?
[12:05] <gnomefreak> kurt is at it again
[12:05] <cafuego> naliorth: kurt would like a ban
[12:05] <risitas28> hi  all
[12:05] <gnomefreak> with the democrat and jew thing
[12:05] <cwillu> lol
[12:05] <Celestianpower> SpComb and gnomefreak: I reset the router and rebooted
[12:05] <CaptainMorgan> SpComb, fdisk -l /dev/hda lists nothing..
[12:05] <cwillu> I like the reason :)
[12:05] <SpComb> huh?
[12:06] <nalioth> i aim to please
[12:06] <cafuego> and everyone knows it's because of the gelatine anyway
[12:06] <CaptainMorgan> i need to find correct syntax.. one sec
[12:06] <gnomefreak> thanks :)
[12:06] <ruzgar> i want to instaal another linux system to my harddisk but my harddisk is one parttion how can i divide my harddisk without damaging my old linux system
[12:06] <SpComb> ugh... is it a IDE disk?
[12:06] <SpComb> it's not in the normal users path either
[12:06] <CaptainMorgan> i think it was like hda1 sda0
[12:06] <SpComb> oh
[12:06] <SpComb> dunno the device
[12:06] <CaptainMorgan> lemme check
[12:06] <HymnToLife> ruzgar> you can't
[12:06] <SpComb> fdisk -l will show you the partitions, so you can identify them
[12:06] <gnomefreak> Celestianpower: is it all good?
[12:06] <Celestianpower> gnomefreak: Is what all good?
[12:06] <Celestianpower> Synaptic still doesn't work
[12:06] <gnomefreak> Celestianpower: is it working now
[12:06] <gnomefreak> :(
[12:07] <cwillu> so, what do you suppose the odds are that 'set completion-ignore-case on' would be included in the default bashrc for ubuntu?
[12:07] <SpComb> looking up names
[12:07] <Celestianpower> gnomefreak: Yes :(
[12:07] <gnomefreak> Celestianpower: same error?
[12:07] <Steve^> Is there actually a way to get wmv files running in a web browser (Opera or even just Firefox) within Ubuntu? Or should I stop looking?
[12:07] <ruzgar> HymnToLife must i format whole harddisk ?
[12:07] <HymnToLife> ruzgar> if you have only one partition yes
[12:07] <Celestianpower> gnomefreak: Yuhuh
[12:07] <SpComb> ruzgar: etx2/3 should be resizeable
[12:07] <tim_> are there any software raid programs other than mdadm?
[12:07] <HymnToLife> dn't forget to create more than one next time ;)
[12:07] <meushi> I have a big issue with Breezy, my ethernet card is not receiving any frame with 2.6.12-9... if I try dhcp, it sends ok, DHCP answers, the breezy box doesn't receive (or drops)... it is a VT6102 rel 78, which should work (with low perfs)
[12:07] <jcuk> Can anyone help me?, I installed Ubuntu linux from cd, (i386), Setup to run 1280x1024, gnome starts, login screen appears. I login with my username and password, login screen disapears im leftwith brown background and my mouse (which moves fine). But nothing else
[12:07] <kwame> My situation is this, in xorg.conf it tells me that it should be using 1400x1050, but i'm only getting 1024x768
[12:07] <nickrud> Steve^, install totem-xine & the w32codecs, works for most people
[12:07] <CaptainMorgan> SpComb, yes.. sda - got the partitions but the external hdd is not being read
[12:08] <ruzgar> SpComb how can i resize
[12:08] <ardchoille> ddonky: Thanks again :)  Samba works great and she is now happy :)
[12:08] <SpComb> ruzgar: not the faintest clue. gparted?
[12:08] <HymnToLife> SpComb> rally ? how ?
[12:08] <Steve^> nickrud, are the w32codecs in synaptic?
[12:08] <SpComb> not sure which tool it is that does it
[12:08] <nickrud> !w32codecs
[12:08] <ubotu> rumour has it, w32codecs is a compilation of binary win32 A/V codecs for many popular proprietary formats not currently supported by free implementations under linux. See http://tinyurl.com/e4a5s to install
[12:08] <HymnToLife> gparted doesn't work for this
[12:08] <Celestianpower> gnomefreak: So I'm doomed to a life of no Synaptic?
[12:08] <SpComb> but it's possible... I've been told
[12:08] <Urthmover> automatix seems to be helpful too
[12:08] <Celestianpower> :'(
[12:08] <nickrud> Steve^, see ubotu above
[12:08] <gnomefreak> Celestianpower: no updates no nothing
[12:08] <cwillu> Celestianpower:  whats the problems?
[12:08] <Seveas> Urthmover, automatix is a virus
[12:08] <HymnToLife> SpComb> I've learn not to believe everything I'm told
[12:08] <Urthmover> whoops
[12:08] <gnomefreak> Urthmover: please dont use it
[12:08] <SpComb> Celestianpower: ugh, if it's giving IO errors I haven't a clue
[12:08] <Urthmover> lol
[12:09] <SpComb> HymnToLife: from someone I would believe
[12:09] <Seveas> !tell Urthmover about automatix
[12:09] <nickrud> !automatix
[12:09] <ubotu> [automatix]  unsafe, it overwrites configuration files, and does things like "echo -e 'ynYn'" that are considered risky. Please do not use it. There are alternative applications, but it's often best to read the documentation.
[12:09] <Urthmover> ok so lets say that I've seen it executed sometime before
[12:09] <jjs01h> ruzgar: i resized my ntfs partition from within the install itself. i chose manually partition. then i changed the size field and applied the changes. no damage
[12:09] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell Urthmover about easyubuntu
[12:09] <nickrud> darn, late again
[12:09] <gnomefreak> :)
[12:09] <Celestianpower> gnomefreak: Wonderful :'(
[12:09] <ardchoille> easyubuntu is much better
[12:09] <Seveas> easyubuntu is not much better
[12:09] <Seveas> a little
[12:09] <Seveas> good enough to not be considered a virus
[12:09] <gnomefreak> Celestianpower: i think you need Seveas on your case lol
[12:10] <ruzgar> jjs01h you resized which program ?
[12:10] <mumbles> dammit thought u where talking about me NickGarvey
[12:10] <mumbles> erm NickGarvey
[12:10] <mumbles> nickrud
[12:10] <DoTheRodeo> how do you unrar .rar?
[12:10] <jjs01h> ruzgar: i used partman.. its the program used by the installer
[12:10] <Celestianpower> Seveas: Can I have you on my case?
[12:10] <SpComb> HymnToLife: in fact, quite a few people have told me about it
[12:10] <jcuk> Are there any known problems with ubuntu linux and Uli M1689 chipset?
[12:10] <cwillu> it's either saying something about easyubuntu or ubuntu that there's a package called 'easyubuntu'
[12:10] <DoTheRodeo> or you have to download rar to unrar this?
[12:10] <nickrud> mumbles, I'll find another means :)
[12:10] <cwillu> and I think it's saying more about easy than ubuntu
[12:10] <Urthmover> ok so I guess I'm gonna rebuild
[12:10] <gnomefreak> Celestianpower: if you go back into /etc/resolv.conf is what you put in there still there?
[12:10] <Urthmover> sheesh
[12:10] <Celestianpower> gnomefreak: Yes
[12:10] <NickGarvey> mumbles: wait what?
[12:10] <CaptainMorgan> what would an extern hdd read in through usb be located under? it's not listed under either hda or sda..
[12:11] <gnomefreak> hmmmmmm
[12:11] <Urthmover> what does the automatix do?
[12:11] <Seveas> cwillu, the easyubuntu package is not from Ubuntu
[12:11] <Urthmover> virus-wise
[12:11] <NickGarvey> mumbles: need something?
[12:11] <Seveas> Urthmover, mainly f*ck up your system
[12:11] <cwillu> seveas, that's the point :p
[12:11] <ruzgar> Celestianpower is that the ubuntu's installer ?
[12:11] <g3nocide> wow, is there any chance someone can help me wit hthis. after reconfiguring x using dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg like 10 times, xwindows starting up still gives me a blank monitor with blinking power led. can anyone gimme a hand with this (and yes, i went through the howto someone pasted earlier as well)
[12:11] <Celestianpower> ruzgar: No, synaptic
[12:11] <Urthmover> who;s ....moia?    no way...I'm talkiing on here for a friend ;-)
[12:11] <jjs01h> ruzgar: first i resized it. ten i aborted the installation and booted back into windows to make sure it was all right. then i installed in the empty space i created
[12:11] <gnomefreak> it easier to install those items by hand than using either of the packages (scripts)
[12:11] <SpComb> HymnToLife: http://ext2resize.sourceforge.net/ ? Might be old, but it's possible
[12:11] <ardchoille> Urthmover: autoamtix doesn't do anything that you can't do yourself. It's always best to learn to do things yourself because you learn the system that way.
[12:11] <nalioth> Urthmover: do your friend a favor and don't use automatix
[12:11] <NegativeSpace> How can I found out where an application is installed?
[12:12] <cwillu> g3nocide:  you're in the world of /etc/X11/xorg.conf;
[12:12] <Celestianpower> Seveas: So can you? ;)
[12:12] <jcuk> Does Xorg have agpgart support for the ULi M1689 Chipset?
[12:12] <Urthmover> ok   I'll tell him that ;-)
[12:12] <HymnToLife> SpComb> ok didn't know about that
[12:12] <DoTheRodeo> how do you unrar .rar?
[12:12] <DoTheRodeo> or you have to download rar to unrar this?
[12:12] <Urthmover> anything else....maybe RTFM?
[12:12] <Urthmover> I can tell him that too
[12:12] <Urthmover> :-)
[12:12] <Seveas> Celestianpower, didn't see your problem
[12:12] <cwillu> Celestianpower:  just start reexplaining whats going on
[12:12] <gnomefreak> dns issues
[12:12] <Celestianpower> Okay
[12:12] <g3nocide> cwillu: and? I've used xorg loads of time before, i used to run slackware, and i never had this kind of problem with it.
[12:12] <djm62> NegativeSpace: it is distributed across the disk.  to find where a program is use "which programname" (i.e. "which firefox")
[12:12] <Celestianpower> Right
[12:12] <Seveas> check dhcp
[12:12] <nickrud> NegativeSpace, dpkg -L <packagename> ; usefull appends: | grep bin | grep etc
[12:12] <nalioth> Urthmover: the wiki.ubuntu.com has loads of good info on how to pimp your ubuntu
[12:13] <NegativeSpace> Thanks guys.
[12:13] <Urthmover> thanks bud
[12:13] <Celestianpower> Synaptic doesn't work - it comes up with various errors and apt-get update just times out
[12:13] <Urthmover> I'll check it out
[12:13] <jcuk> jus gimme a shout when someones available to help lol
[12:13] <gnomefreak> jcuk: what is the issue?
[12:13] <cwillu> so have you started playing around with the conf file?  if I had to guess (which I do), I'd guess that ubuntu's detected the monitor supporting a higher res than it actually does;  does it work if you force it to only 800x600x16?
[12:13] <Celestianpower> Synaptic never worked
[12:13] <SpComb> CaptainMorgan: http://librenix.com/?inode=4523 possibly?
[12:13] <SpComb> http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=linux+external+USB+HD+howto&btnG=Search
[12:13] <g3nocide> cwillu: i'll try it
[12:13] <SpComb> dunno
[12:13] <cwillu> Celestianpower:  can you browse on that machine?
[12:14] <Celestianpower> cwillu: Yees - I'm talking to you now on it
[12:14] <Urthmover> so is getting a recent ISO and doing a install from LiveCD the fastest way?  or can I do it over ftp somehow?
[12:14] <ubuntux>  I would like to know where GNOME stores its configuration files
[12:14] <Celestianpower> And Firefox works
[12:14] <cwillu> got a paste of your sources.list?
[12:14] <mumbles> one of these days im going to need help on getting my intrgated intel wirelss card working with lidbwrapper
[12:14] <Seveas> ubuntux, ~/.gnome2 ~/.gconf
[12:14] <nickrud> Celestianpower, put your /etc/apt/sources.list in paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[12:14] <jcuk> gnomefreak: I just finished installing ubuntu (32-bit), i login with my username and pwd, it logs in then goes to a brown background and mouse (res 1280x1024) nvidia 6800 card
[12:14] <nalioth> Urthmover: the latest stable breezy install cd would probably be quickest
[12:14] <jcuk> gnomefreak : nothing happens after this
[12:14] <Urthmover> yeah I'll do that then
[12:14] <Urthmover> thanks
[12:15] <gnomefreak> jcuk: what were you looking for to happen?
[12:15] <kwame> How do I install a .deb package?
[12:15] <SpComb> these distro channels are so active they are hard to follow :/
[12:15] <mumbles> jcuk - you installed the nvida drivers ?
[12:15] <Celestianpower> cwillu and nickrud: It's there already
[12:15] <Celestianpower> Ummm
[12:15] <gnomefreak> kwame: sudo dpkg -i file.deb
[12:15] <jcuk> gnomefreak : expected gnome to load up
[12:15] <HymnToLife> !tell kwame about deb
[12:15] <cwillu> SpComb:   I routinely curse the lack of threading :)
[12:15] <nalioth> ubotu: tell kwame about deb
[12:15] <nickrud> Celestianpower, I missed it
[12:15] <cwillu> Celestianpower:  whats the link?
[12:15] <LuisBG> I'm missing the nvidia-glx package in my apt-cache, where is it?
[12:15] <gnomefreak> nickrud:  its under my name today
[12:15] <nickrud> cwillu, threading!
[12:15] <gnomefreak> i gave him my breezy list
[12:15] <jcuk> mumbles : i havent had a chance yet, arent the nv drivers already integrated in ubuntu?
[12:15] <gnomefreak> well some of it
[12:15] <DoTheRodeo> how do you unrar .rar?
[12:15] <DoTheRodeo> or you have to download rar to unrar this?
[12:16] <cwillu> nickrud:  i.e., "show me everything this guy said in the last 30 minutes"
[12:16] <Celestianpower> cwillu and nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9978
[12:16] <mumbles> jcuk dunno but it sounds like your having the same provblems that i had
[12:16] <cwillu> "and follow everything he continues to say"
[12:16] <gnomefreak> jcuk: on the brown screen do you see icons or words along the top?
[12:16] <nalioth> DoTheRodeo: use apt-get to install unrar-nonfree
[12:16] <nickrud> cwillu, I'm too lazy to grep the logs, and thanks Celestianpower
[12:16] <ddonky> ardchoille - that's all that matters, SHE is happy. :)
[12:16] <jcuk> gnomefreak : nothing, just brown and a mouse
[12:16] <CaptainMorgan> SpComb, thankis.. it's weird because nautilus says it there's and won't mount.. yet fdisk doesn't list it
[12:16] <CaptainMorgan> ..
[12:16] <paeppi> SpComb: Yeah, it takes me so long to read everything that I forgot all about my question that I wanted to state here :D
[12:16] <cwillu> Celestianpower:  from a terminal, can you ping archive.ubuntu.com?
[12:16] <gnomefreak> jcuk: did you just install it today?
[12:16] <jcuk> gnomefreak : less than 15mins ago
[12:17] <gnomefreak> jcuk: what version?>
[12:17] <g3nocide> cwillu: i tried to force it to 800x600, and it still wont fire x properly (as in display it). any chance someone else here also has a SyncMaster 750s and would paste their horiz sync and vertical refresh rates from their xorg.conf ???
[12:17] <mnemnonic> @DoTheRodeo: You should download rar
[12:17] <Celestianpower> cwillu: Yes
[12:17] <jcuk> gnomefreak : latest, just downloaded it
[12:17] <nickrud> Celestianpower, those look just fine, how about pasting an an error from apt-get
[12:17] <elad`> I have imwheel installed and working, but I want two of my buttons to do different things than they do by default (backspace and enter/return instead of back and forward). Help?
[12:17] <jcuk> hold on
[12:17] <gnomefreak> latest is what version
[12:17] <cwillu> g3nocide:  I've got a 550s :/
[12:17] <jcuk> 5.10
[12:17] <gnomefreak> ok good
[12:17] <SpComb> CaptainMorgan: what does fdisk say?
[12:17] <g3nocide> cwillu: lol
[12:17] <g3nocide> close but no cigar
[12:17] <lsuactiafner>  g3nocide : look on the back of your monitor/screen
[12:18] <cwillu> can you browse the url in firefox?
[12:18] <lsuactiafner> g3nocide : refresh rates should be written there
[12:18] <ardchoille> ddonky: indeed
[12:18] <g3nocide> lsuactiafner: i did, nothing there
[12:18] <CaptainMorgan> SpComb, fdisk only lists internal drives
[12:18] <nickrud> dang, this channel is moving like last year :)
[12:18] <jcuk> gnomefreak : had the exact same problem when trying to run x server after installing fedora core 4
[12:18] <gnomefreak> jcuk: hit ctrl+alt+f2 and sign in and type sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop  if that doesnt work let us know
[12:18] <CaptainMorgan> not exteranl
[12:18] <Celestianpower> nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9980
[12:18] <gnomefreak> jcuk: wait dont do that
[12:18] <jcuk> gnomefreak : doesent work anyway
[12:18] <nickrud> Celestianpower, do sudo apt-get update, try again
[12:18] <CaptainMorgan> SpComb, err.. lists partitions already on and doesn't list the external
[12:18] <linx> hey, is this right command for mounting smb shares?? mount -t smbfs //servername/sharename /mountdirectory -o username=mywindowsusername,password=mywindowspassword
[12:18] <gnomefreak> jcuk: have you tried to configure xserver yet?
[12:18] <jcuk> gnomefreak : cant get access to a shell
[12:19] <SpComb> CaptainMorgan: ugh, not a clue anymore
[12:19] <nickrud> Celestianpower, sorry, I'll read deeper
[12:19] <gnomefreak> jcuk: ctrl+alt+f2
[12:19] <jcuk> gnomefreak : nothing happens.
[12:19] <Celestianpower> nickrud: That's what I did - that's the result
[12:19] <SpComb> I would have thought that a hard drive was a hard drive...
[12:19] <gnomefreak> jcuk: thats bad
[12:19] <ddonky> linx - looks ok, but i use -t cifs
[12:19] <nickrud> Celestianpower, your resolving sucks Could not connect to archive.ubuntu.com:80 (<IP_ADDRESS>)
[12:19] <linx> ddonky, instead of?
[12:19] <Celestianpower> cwillu: Yes, it browses in FF
[12:19] <jcuk> gnomefreak : Its something to with xorg and agpgart support for my chipset
[12:19] <cwillu> heh
[12:19] <cwillu> he's right
[12:20] <ddonky> linx - t smbfs
[12:20] <linx> ah i see
[12:20] <linx> thx
[12:20] <CaptainMorgan> np, thanks anyways SpComb .. i think I may have to use win to get it to work.. I remember getting a restoration software in which I was once able to view the contents of the disk but at the point I was still unable to do anything with.. like it was malfunctioning..
[12:20] <cwillu> that's an interesting ip address :)
[12:20] <jcuk> gnomefreak : also it couldent detect my onboard ethernet
[12:20] <gnomefreak> jcuk: but it will still recogonize your card
[12:20] <cwillu> do you have a proxy set?
[12:20] <Celestianpower> cwillu: No idea
[12:20] <gnomefreak> ubuntu and nvidia work very very well together
[12:20] <jcuk> gnomefreak : must do, its running 1280x1024 res
[12:20] <ddonky> linx - also, i usually put the password stuff before the destination dir. that's just the way i learned it though
[12:21] <elad`> xmodmap help anyone?
[12:21] <gnomefreak> jcuk: you cant get a terminal im not sure what to say
[12:21] <jcuk> gnomefreak : so ive heard, since i cant get debian to detect ethernet i cant install it, fedora core 4 wont load x properly (same thing as ubuntu), only thing that seems to work is knoppix live cd
[12:21] <gnomefreak> jcuk: you should still beable to get a tty
[12:22] <Celestianpower> cwillu: Synaptic worked on another person's internet connection if that helps
[12:22] <cwillu> ya, if you can browse you should be fine
[12:22] <g3nocide> ok, i'll try something else. is there any ubuntu howto for installing the 8178 nvidia drivers??? maybe doing that and then doing the nvidia-xconfig will fix my problem
[12:22] <jcuk> gnomefreak : something to do with my usb keyboard?
[12:22] <cwillu> but obviously your not
[12:22] <cwillu> somewhere, apt-get is getting the wrong ip address for that host
[12:23] <nickrud> Celestianpower, do you have an /etc/apt.conf file?
[12:23] <linx> ddonky, ok
[12:23] <linx> CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22
[12:23] <g3nocide> cwillu: any chance there's a resource available (like a howto) for installing the 8178 nvidia drivers ???
[12:23] <ubuntux> how to get php-gtk from apt-get?
[12:23] <anto9us> g3nocide, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[12:23] <Celestianpower> nickrud: No
[12:24] <cwillu> Celestianpower:  I've got an ugly hack, that'd be interesting to see if it worked
[12:24] <Celestianpower> cwillu: Okay
[12:24] <ddonky> linx - try -t smbfs
[12:24] <anto9us> linx, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[12:24] <nickrud> Celestianpower, <delete> watches cwillu
[12:24] <cwillu> replace archive.ubuntu.com with <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:24] <linx> ddonky, i tried that, didnt't work
[12:24] <Celestianpower> cwillu: Where?
[12:24] <cwillu> and security.ubuntu.com with <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:24] <cwillu> in sources.list
[12:24] <linx> anto9us, thx
[12:24] <DoTheRodeo> where source.list located?
[12:24] <cwillu> (back it up first)
[12:25] <cwillu>  /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:25] <DoTheRodeo> ic
[12:25] <nickrud> Celestianpower, save your /etc/apt/sources.list, and put those numbers in
[12:25] <gnomefreak> DoTheRodeo: /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:25] <SpComb> the hosts file!
[12:25] <SpComb> /etc/host :P
[12:25] <SpComb> +s
[12:25] <jjs01h> what repos do i need to upgrade to dapper? how can i get the bot to tell me?
[12:25] <nickrud> cwillu, sorry, I'm kinda excited, never tried that :)
[12:25] <jcuk> gnomefreak : got a shell now, done it at the graphical login screen
[12:25] <cwillu> :)
[12:25] <nickrud> !dapper
[12:25] <ubotu> The pre-release name for next release of Ubuntu, actual name 6.04. Due 20th April. It is Development Software as such it _May_Break_! > /join #ubuntu+1 < Channel for IRC - Use http://tinyurl.com/rtgxo easy update
[12:25] <cwillu> might screw with the gpg, I'm not sure
[12:26] <nickrud> jjs01h, see ubotu just above
[12:26] <cwillu> but it'd be interesting to see if it gets that far at least
[12:26] <linx> anto9us, thx that manual was needed!
[12:26] <cwillu> irc:  the dns of the future :)
[12:26] <linx> ;)
[12:26] <jjs01h> nickrud: thanks
[12:26] <anto9us> linx, yes, it's a good one :)
[12:26] <linx> its a bookmark!
[12:26] <rixth> What are Dell laptops like with Ubuntu? Generally good or bad?
[12:26] <Goldfisch> I did some reading up on apt-zip. It looks except for one thing. It doesn't handle the apt-get update step. It appears you have to "go online" to update your private cache database of apt packages before you can build the script. How do you handle that from a closed network?
[12:27] <jjs01h> rixth: i just bought an inspiron 6000. using it right now. everything is working
[12:27] <rixth> jjs01h, thats the exact one I am looking at.
[12:27] <Urthmover> I bet latitudes run fine
[12:27] <jjs01h> rixth: just  make sure you get the intel wifi card, etc. nothing proprietary / dell
[12:27] <Celestianpower> cwillu: Okay, done
[12:27] <cwillu> k
[12:27] <jjs01h> rixth: although the bluetooth works too
[12:27] <cwillu> sudo apt-get update
[12:27] <Goldfisch> rixth: I restored an Insprion 7500 (5 years old) with new disk drives and RAM and Ubuntu. Works like a charm.
[12:27] <anto9us> rixth, I had a successful install of hoary on an inspiron 9100
[12:27] <jcuk> er one more thing, ubuntu didnt ask me to specify a root password on install, is there a default or something?
[12:28] <rixth> jcuk, Ubuntu does not have a root password
[12:28] <nickrud> Goldfisch, I'm not sure, but copying /var/lib/apt/lists to a mirror of a production machine?
[12:28] <rixth> !tell jcuk about su
[12:28] <ompaul> !root
[12:28] <ubotu> By default, the root password is locked in Ubuntu. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
[12:28] <Celestianpower> cwillu: Oooh - ugly!
[12:28] <Celestianpower> I'll pastebin
[12:28] <cwillu> sweet
[12:28] <ompaul> rixth, okay
[12:28] <cwillu> different is good :)
[12:28] <Goldfisch> nickrud: I was hoping it was something like that. I was scanning the APT howto, and it didn't seem to talk to that level.
[12:29] <Celestianpower> cwillu: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9981
[12:29] <nickrud> Goldfisch, that's where the lists of available packages are kept after an apt-get update
[12:29] <g3nocide> anto9us: ok, i checked out that link, thng is, i dont have a working xwindows session, so how else can i 'unrestrict' the nvidia drivers without xwindows ???
[12:29] <cwillu> okay
[12:29] <mumbles> can anyone point me in the right directions for the ubntu libwrapper stuff ?
[12:29] <cwillu> 404's are good
[12:29] <cwillu> probably using vhosts
[12:29] <Celestianpower> cwillu: Oh good
[12:29] <LuisBG> how do I update the kernel in ubuntu? tried yesterday and gave a disaster
[12:29] <nickrud> Goldfisch, but, I'm almost sure, you'll run into 'issues'.
[12:30] <ompaul> LuisBG, please define update kernel please
[12:30] <rixth> Hmm. For $200 more than the Inspiron 6000, you ca go dual core. Does ubuntu play nice with dual core?
[12:30] <anto9us> g3nocide, download linux drivers from nvidia website
[12:30] <mumbles> rixth i know it installes onan acer aspire 3610
[12:30] <Celestianpower> cwillu: So I do what now?
[12:30] <elad`> ".*"
[12:30] <elad`>  None, Up, Alt_L|Left
[12:30] <elad`>  None, Down, Alt_L|Right
[12:30] <nickrud> rixth, I've even heard, that using an smp kernel helps on dual core. That's rumor
[12:30] <cwillu> Celestianpower:  can you paste me /etc/resolv.conf
[12:30] <elad`> With this format, how do I signify Enter/Return and Backspace?
[12:30] <cwillu> and the output of 'set'?
[12:31] <rixth> Hmm.
[12:31] <kwame> Ok, almost there
[12:31] <Celestianpower> cwillu: "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" - resolve.conf
[12:31] <Goldfisch> nickrud: The only way to this is to test it. My laptop is pretty disposable. I will wipe it, and then install it cleanly with Ubuntu and no network connection. Then I will use my desktop as the Internet machine. Only way to to work this system.
[12:31] <kwame> I think I'm getting 1400x1050 but does not fill the screen
[12:31] <kwame> any idea why?
[12:31] <cwillu> that's it?
[12:31] <Celestianpower> cwillu: Set? Just type set in the command line?
[12:31] <zenbum> FWIW, ubuntu runs great on my dual-Athlon system
[12:31] <cwillu> yes (lower case)
[12:31] <elad`> Can anybody read me?
[12:32] <mumbles> i guess no one wants to play with my idea :p
[12:32] <mumbles> goes to exhast his google skills
[12:32] <gnomefreak> elad`: yes
[12:32] <ddonky> elad - 5 by 5
[12:32] <Celestianpower> cwillu: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9982 ,-- set
[12:32] <kristopher> I am having troubles with sudo, when I run it and enter the password, it does not run with root priveleges, what is going on?
[12:32] <Celestianpower> *,--
[12:32] <Celestianpower> *<--
[12:32] <nickrud> Goldfisch, I would be interested in how it goes. (Maybe it'll matter to me before I forget the context :)\
[12:33] <elad`> Well, can't anybody help me? I'm trying to edit .imwheelrc.
[12:33] <vladuz976> what exactly is a content management system like mambo? is it something like wordpress?
[12:34] <ddonky> elad - try asking better questions, just based on what you told me i'd say open a text editor
[12:34] <judgen> Is there any app for linux that is similar to BeOS Spicykeys?
[12:34] <cwillu> Celestianpower:  brb, just going to do a bit of research
[12:34] <nickrud> elad`, I can help with the editing, but not with what goes in it (never used imwheel)
[12:34] <Celestianpower> cwillu: Okay
[12:34] <Goldfisch> nickrud: I can't start this now, because I have be somewhere in half-an-hour. But after that I will start working on it. I can spend this weekend "perfecting it".
[12:34] <ompaul> vladuz976, it is more than that, your heading in the right direction
[12:34] <elad`> ddonky,  With this format, how do I signify Enter/Return and Backspace?
[12:34] <vladuz976> ompaul: like what exactly?
[12:34] <cwillu> Celestianpower:   what does 'host archive.ubuntu.com' give you??
[12:34] <glick> excuse me is there a way to remotely install linux onto a machine?
[12:34] <nickrud> Goldfisch, I nearly always have this channel open, it's amusing. Ping me
[12:35] <jcuk> gnomefreak : what do i do after running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:35] <nickrud> Goldfisch, plus, I get all kinds of tips for later
[12:35] <Goldfisch> nickrud: This is all to support putting a linux server in production. I have sold management on using mediawiki as a knowledge base tool, and I'm convincing them that it best runs on a linux system (where it was developed). I plan to order an x86 rack server as my platform.
[12:35] <jcuk> ive went through it but when i start x it still sits with mouse and unable to get a shell
[12:35] <httpdss> glick: yes ... lots .. first that comes to my mind ... ssh
[12:35] <elad`> I got Return nailed down, but what goes in instead of Backspace?
[12:35] <ompaul> vladuz976, it is a db driven web site, aimed at building training courses
[12:35] <ddonky> elad - what program are you editing with, nano?
[12:35] <ompaul> vladuz976, not content management more course management
[12:36] <glick> httpdss, how will you use ssh to install linux on a blank machine?
[12:36] <tushkee> How come Ubuntu is free of charge? Who pays for the expenses? Everything from Canonical?
[12:36] <kristopher> I am having troubles with sudo, when I run it and enter the password, it does not run with root priveleges, what is going on?
[12:36] <nickrud> Goldfisch, no offence, but <whoosh> over my head. I'm just a lowly single machine user
[12:36] <Goldfisch> nickrud: And then finally (drum roll, please)....ubuntu is my distro of choice.
[12:36] <elad`> ddonky, what does it matter?
[12:36] <Celestianpower> cwillu: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9983
[12:36] <nickrud> Goldfisch, you got the drumroll (/usr/share/sound/question.wav :)
[12:37] <mumbles> has anyone got any idea how to get wireless lan working on a laptop running ubntu
[12:37] <elad`> ddonky, I want to know what .imwheelrc should contain for a certain button on my mouse to produce the effect of clicking on "backspace" on the keyboard. I've done it before, so I know it's possible.
[12:37] <httpdss> glick: mmm, ssh the machine and work over a chrooted environment ...
[12:37] <Goldfisch> mumbles: I have installed network-manager.
[12:38] <glick> httpdss, thats assuming the machine hass ssh server
[12:38] <glick> im talking about a *blank* machine
[12:38] <nickrud> kristopher, are you entering your personal password?
[12:38] <ddonky> elad - I don't know
[12:38] <LuisBG> ompaul, just installed breezy in a powerbook and want to update to the latest posible kernel to get the patches of cpu temp, fan speed, and all the goodies, how can I do it?
[12:38] <kristopher> nickrud, I am using my personal password and it fails without error
[12:38] <judgen> Is there a way to convert the signals outputed through xev to do functions
[12:38] <httpdss> glick: there are live dists which have the server installed and active ..
[12:39] <elad`> Another question - how do I make sure the fucking PC Speaker isn't set off by random programs? I want to turn it off completely.
[12:39] <Celestianpower> cwillu: What do you make of it?
[12:39] <blekos> alloha guys
[12:39] <cwillu> Celestianpower:   I think it's an issue between apt and your cablemodem/router
[12:39] <blekos> anybody using dapper drake?
[12:40] <elad`> By the way, turns out the answer to my previous question was "BackSpace" (case sensitive)
[12:40] <Celestianpower> cwillu: Oh - is it fixable?
[12:40] <cwillu> do you have a home router or is it just straight to a cable modem?
[12:40] <gnomefreak> elad`: please watch your language
[12:40] <mnemnonic> @elad: open the case and pull the plug ...  "Is it here?? Is it here??"

[12:41] <blekos> i just wanted 2 know why dapper drake kernel does not have the usbserial module loaded...
[12:41] <nickrud> 's problem is

[12:42] <Celestianpower> cwillu: yes?
[12:42] <cwillu> elad`:   open the computer up and disconnect it :)
[12:42] <FlannelKing> oh, hah. right.  I knew that.  whew.  Scared me for a second.

[12:43] <Celestianpower> Yeah
[12:43] <cwillu> it should be the router configuration page, right?

[12:46] <ubotu> xen is, like, totally, a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. It can be found at http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/ .
[12:47] <Goldfisch> Sounds similar to vmware.

[12:47] <ubuntu29> intresete din lids
[12:48] <cwillu> Celestianpower:  okay, probably under network, connection status or modem status
[12:49] <Goldfisch> Well what do you know ---> http://xen.cosi.clarkson.edu/documentation/xen-tutorial.html
[12:49] <ddonky> ailsa_ - sorry, I'm not familiar with it. is it usb?

[12:50] <ailsa_> ddonky : with a pen and a mouse - both act similarly.  it's stopping my electric sheep from running :(
[12:50] <Goldfisch> You know, I prefer distro wars over CPU wars......
[12:50] <jcuk> Okay, i have a small problem, i cant get my network working, which is required to download the kernel source to compile a new kernel
[12:51] <freeze> have any program like nero?

[12:52] <ion_> freeze: what you mean normal cd??
[12:52] <nickrud> freeze, open a file manager window, type ctl-l , then type burn: there's a great place for data cd's

[12:52] <ion_> freeze:gnomebaker
[12:52] <freeze> oh shit i press ctrl l here and clean the screen
[12:52] <Xappe> freeze: k3b is a very good free alternative, you also have gnomebaker, graveman, nautilus cd-burner and if you really prefer Nero, NeroLINUX (costs money)
[12:52] <freeze> repeat it again
[12:53] <ubuntu29> wonder why the intel mac mini is not handled
[12:53] <tritium> language, please, freeze
[12:53] <ubuntu29> as far as i know no intel mac's will work with ubuntu 6
[12:53] <ion_> freeze:sudo apt-get install gnomebaker

[12:53] <freeze> ok
[12:54] <oatis> how come the Dapper install of the AMD64 version boots to the prompt? how do I properly install gnome?
[12:54] <ion_> freeze:gnomebaker is like Nero...
[12:54] <freeze> ok
[12:54] <LuisBG> why does the powerbook get so so hot when doing nothing in ubuntu? fans just go crazy as I've never seen 'em
[12:54] <freeze> i'm downloading now
[12:54] <zenbum> ubuntu29: not surprising.... lots of proprietary undocumented hardware
[12:54] <ion_> freeze:cool...
[12:54] <ubuntu29> oh bs

[12:57] <freeze> ion_ i'm on gnomebaker
[12:57] <freeze> now i have to enter o iso folder, or i can put the iso folder just?
[12:58] <rixth> Nope, I am not going to get a dual core laptop. I do not need it and it will mkost likley jsut cause problems later down the track.
[12:58] <ion_> ion: well take the folder that you want to burn...click and drag into the box on the botton..
[12:58] <freeze> ?
[12:58] <Celestianpower> cwillu: It's getting ever so late here
[12:58] <lightstep> is there a GUI for init in ubuntu?
[12:58] <Celestianpower> dwWill you be around tomorrow morning?
[12:58] <ion_> freeze:you get it ?
[12:59] <cwillu> Celestianpower:   I still can't find their website
[12:59] <Volmarias> Hi, I've installed ubuntu, but the networking isn't working. How do I set up my machine to get its IP via DHCP?
[12:59] <freeze> yes
[12:59] <Celestianpower> cwillu: Oh
[12:59] <cwillu> Celestianpower:  if you can figure out your isp's dns server (which the router knows but doesn't want to tell you)
[12:59] <cwillu> Celestianpower:  you can add it to the resolv.conf file, and things will probably start working right
[12:59] <ailsa_> sussed it ! if leaving the mouse on the tablet stops he screensaver running - don't leave the mouse on the tablet ! genius !
[12:59] <Celestianpower> cwillu: http://www.addon-tech.com/
[12:59] <elad`> I set the preferences of Nautilus in a certain directory the way I like them, but whenever I move to another directory, the defaults are used. Help?
[12:59] <freeze> hi ion, are you brazillian?
[12:59] <Celestianpower> Is the website
[12:59] <Abecedarian> I have files needed to make a DVD Movie but am having trouble figuring out how to burn them onto an actual dvd so I can watch them on any video player.
[12:59] <ailsa_> night night all + thanks ddonky
[01:00] <lightstep> Volmarias, System>Administration>Networking>Ethernet>Properties>Configuration
[01:00] <zenbum> lightstep: what aspect of "init" do you want a gui for?
[01:00] <jjs01h> zenbum: i think he is refering to the bootsplash
[01:00] <freeze> ion_: are u brazillian?
[01:00] <lightstep> zenbum, i want to add another script
[01:00] <ion_> freeze: yeah but we can't talk in portuguese here....
[01:00] <Abecedarian> How would one go about doing this?  gnomebaker seems to require an image file rather than being able to use the .vob (etc) files in folders...
[01:00] <NickGarvey> !port
[01:00] <ubotu> NickGarvey: My cat's name is Mittens! Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[01:00] <jjs01h> zenbum: nvm
[01:00] <NickGarvey> I tried
[01:00] <freeze> yes, i know, but can we tal on msn?
[01:00] <Volmarias> lightstep: Ah, this brings us to another fun part. I do System -> Administration -> Networking, and I get the "working" mouse icon for 5 seconds, and then it's the pointer again and I'm back to square one. What gives?
[01:00] <Volmarias> I can't seem to do any sort of administration
[01:00] <elad`> How do I make list-view Nautilus's default?
[01:00] <cwillu> when you did that host archive.ubuntu.com thing, the warning on the last line is very likely the problem
[01:00] <zenbum> lightstep: you want to add a script to /etc/init.d?
[01:01] <freeze> cuz, sometimes i don't know how to write in english, what i need
[01:01] <freeze> lol
[01:01] <Misnix> 0000.
[01:01] <Celestianpower> cwillu: Right
[01:01] <lightstep> zenbum, no, i already put it there and tested it. i want to put it in /etc/rc?.d/
[01:01] <zenbum> lightstep: the package "bum" might be useful to you
[01:01] <ion_> ion: is fine msn...
[01:01] <Volmarias> lightstep: In fact, I think clicking on anything under administration does that.  Please speak to me accordingly.
[01:03] <Celestianpower> (in 9 or so hours time)
[01:03] <cwillu> that puts me at 3am my time :)
[01:03] <Abecedarian> mnemonic:  Okay, I
[01:03] <Celestianpower> cwillu: lol
[01:03] <cwillu> I'll probably be just getting home :)
[01:03] <elad`> How do I configure Nautilus?
[01:03] <Abecedarian> mnemonic:  Okay, I'll give it a shot.  Thanks!
[01:03] <Celestianpower> cwillu: No then ;)
[01:03] <Celestianpower> cwillu: Oh good
[01:03] <freeze> ion_: my msn is raphaelfariasmiranda at gmail dot com
[01:03] <elad`> I want to set list-view to the default in *all* directories.
[01:03] <lightstep> Volmarias, it's the console interface for the configuration. i'll go look for the magic word
[01:03] <Volmarias> thanks
[01:04] <Celestianpower> cwillu: So you'll be on then will you? Or going straight to bed?
[01:04] <cwillu> Celestianpower:  was there any data sheet your isp gave you that you used to configure it?
[01:04] <cwillu> lol
[01:04] <cwillu> I'll probably be around, 9 hours from now
[01:04] <Celestianpower> cwillu: lol - cool
[01:04] <Celestianpower> cwillu: Goodnight
[01:04] <cwillu> this is bugging me :)
[01:04] <Celestianpower> cwillu: :S
[01:04] <ion_> freeze: I got it...
[01:05] <vars_> hey i want to take my new graphics card for a spin how do i do that?
[01:05] <thewayofzen> Any dapper users having this problem in the last day or so  http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=811629#post811629
[01:05] <freeze> thanks to help me
[01:05] <ion_> freeze: anytime.....
[01:05] <edude05> hey everyone
[01:05] <zenbum> thewayofzen: yes i have that problem too
[01:05] <edude05> I need a little help getting my wifi adaptor to work....
[01:05] <thewayofzen> zenbum,  only in the last two days or so correct?
[01:06] <thewayofzen> zenbum,  it was working perfect before that i assume
[01:06] <edude05> I've done some googling but I can't find anything
[01:06] <mnemnonic> elad: edit -> preferences (not sure if i translated that properly ;)
[01:06] <freeze> ion_: do you add me on msn? now?
[01:06] <micahf> hey do youguys know of any open source tax software?
[01:06] <zenbum> thewayofzen: i hadn't tested it before.... but definitely broken now
[01:06] <thewayofzen> zenbum, i would assume its just part of the developement process and should eventually straighten out?
[01:06] <Abecedarian> mnemonic:  Am I supposed to just do "File > New Project > New Video DVD Project" and then drag the audio_ts and video_ts files down to the bottom?
[01:07] <ion_> freeze: no worries....
[01:07] <Gorrth> does someone know how to autostart powernowd in "ondemand" on boot ?
[01:07] <mikebot> last night i got easyubuntu, with the help of some members of this chat, and this morning, when i open synaptic, i get this error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9979
[01:07] <zenbum> thewayofzen: no, it's a new feature  ;)
[01:07] <freeze> ok i'm waiting
[01:07] <thewayofzen> zenbum,  AWESOME my favorite feature yet ;)
[01:07] <zenbum> lol
[01:07] <thewayofzen> at least i know im not alone.  hopefully some people will post to the thread so i can find out if i should file a bug report etc
[01:08] <mnemnonic> Abecedarian: I think so, but I never tried that so far
[01:08] <tonyyarusso> How to play a .rax music file from a friend?  (Is it even possible?  Maybe DRM restricted...)
[01:08] <tritium> don't forget that dapper questions are more appropriate for #ubuntu+1
[01:08] <nickrud> mikebot, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list, look for the line that has cdrom in it, and put a # at the beginning; then use synaptic to reload sources
[01:09] <Abecedarian> mnemonic:  I noticed that it by default has AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS, so if I try to drag what I have - all in lowercase - it lists both.  Should I just delete the upper-case defaults or actually rename the files I have and overwrite the defaults?
[01:09] <Volmarias> lightstep: Heck with it. I'll just reinstall.
[01:09] <mikebot> NickGarvey, it is blank
[01:09] <Volmarias> lightstep: Thanks for the help though
[01:10] <lightstep> Volmarias, before that, try running network-admin
[01:10] <Volmarias> lightstep: ok
[01:10] <Volmarias> lightstep: how
[01:10] <Alos> hi, little question, how to fix x windows system
[01:10] <nickrud> mikebot, that for me?
[01:10] <lightstep> Volmarias, from the shell or something
[01:10] <mikebot> nickrud, yes, osrry
[01:10] <Volmarias> oh, its a program
[01:10] <lightstep> Accessories>Terminal
[01:10] <lightstep> yes
[01:10] <zenbum> alos: use a mac
[01:10] <mikebot> nickrud, but it is: home/michael/'/etc/apt/sources
[01:10] <mnemnonic> Abecedarian: I would rename your files to uppercase ... as I mentioned, I have never tried that so far
[01:11] <lux_> hows the german ubuntu channel?
[01:11] <sud0n1m> Are there any drawbacks to using ubuntu as a server?
[01:11] <Alos> zenbum: nice answer but to $$$$$
[01:11] <nickrud> mikebot, no, your sources are in not in home at any way; /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:11] <mikebot> nickrud, i typed what you gave me and that's what it opened
[01:11] <Volmarias> lightstep: fantastic, it just wasn't configured or enabled
[01:12] <zenbum> Alos: what's wrong with your X?
[01:12] <Volmarias> lightstep: Great! networking works!
[01:12] <Volmarias> Now if you can just tell me how to enable the administration menus
[01:12] <nickrud> mikebot:     gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list   <--- cut and paste into a terminal
[01:12] <Volmarias> I think I'll be all set :)
[01:12] <sud0n1m> Is there an easy solution to move my installation from Debian Sarge to Ubuntu? I dont want to lose my databases
[01:12] <Abecedarian> mnemonic:  Hmm, okay.  I'll give it a go and leave IRC open to let you know if it works.
[01:12] <lightstep> Volmarias, still, not having the administration menu working is a big bug. maybe someone at ##gnome will know something about it
[01:12] <Abecedarian> mnemonic:  Time is more expensive that DVD-Rs these days!
[01:12] <nickrud> sud0n1m, look at preserving /var ; debian keeps most databases there by default
[01:12] <Alos> zenbum: did not start
[01:12] <mikebot> nickrud, i have been
[01:13] <mnemnonic> Abecedarian: Maybe www.k3b.org helps you more
[01:13] <mikebot> nickrud, i get this in terminal: (gedit:23799): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
[01:13] <mikebot> Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.
[01:13] <nickrud> mikebot, don't worry about those, those are transient errors
[01:13] <Volmarias> lightstep: Oh. I thought I just misconfigured something
[01:13] <mikebot> nickrud, and it opens the blank file '/home/michael/'/etc/apt/sources.list'
[01:13] <grout> what file do i gotta edit so i manualy set the ip address
[01:13] <Volmarias> lightstep: I'll ask there, thanks
[01:13] <blekos> any ideas how i can patch a module in the kernel?
[01:13] <nickrud> mikebot, type ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list, and paste the one line answer here
[01:14] <Stormx2> how do I burn an ISO in ubuntu?
[01:14] <zenbum> Alos: take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:14] <sud0n1m> nickrud: Should I be able to mount the database again in MySQL when I load up Ubuntu? I tar-ed the whole system based on instructions I found on the ubuntuforum site.
[01:14] <nickrud> Stormx2, right click the iso in the file manager, and select write to disk
[01:14] <mikebot> nickrud, -rw-r--r--  1 root root 1873 2006-03-02 09:46 /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:14] <mumbles> ok i cant get ndiswrapper to install with either apt-get install or the addaplications
[01:14] <nickrud> mikebot, then you are doing something wrong somewhere, because home is not in that line
[01:15] <sud0n1m> if I have an IA64 computer, should I use the AMD64 install cd?
[01:15] <mikebot> nickrud, i'm copying and pasting your lines
[01:15] <Jhair> sud0n1m: no
[01:15] <nickrud> mikebot, pm me
[01:15] <sud0n1m> Jhair: just use the i386 one?
[01:15] <sud0n1m> Jhair: Maybe I used the wrong acronym - I meant 64 bit intel chip - whatever it is called
[01:16] <Jhair> sud0n1m: as far as I know ubuntu doesn't support the IA64 architecture...
[01:16] <vars_> hey i am using fubuntu how can i change the screen resolution?
[01:16] <nickrud> sud0n1m, if you untar back into var, I would think so
[01:16] <sud0n1m> nickrud: cool - thanks for the help!
[01:16] <Jhair> sud0n1m: my apologies it does support it
[01:16] <Alos> zenbum:thanks, how is the minimum system for ubuntu??
[01:16] <mikebot> nnickdid youg et the pm?
[01:16] <nickrud> sud0n1m, don't take me as gospel on this, I'm reaching ozone here :)
[01:16] <Jhair> sud0n1m: e.g.: http://ie.releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-cdimage/ports/releases/breezy/release/ubuntu-5.10-install-ia64.iso
[01:17] <mikebot> nickrud, i pmed you
[01:17] <john__> Hi all. I cab't mount the floppy drive. I have "no filesystem type specified" .... any ideas?
[01:17] <nickrud> mikebot, no, I didn't. you may need to do /msg nickserv register <passwd> to get pm rights
[01:17] <grout> pm nickrud hey
[01:17] <lcore> Ubuntu dapper : Is it posiible to hold-back a package (mplayer) in synaptic so it doesn't get auto-upgraded?
[01:17] <zenbum> Alos: not sure what you mean.... you mean the minimum requirements?
[01:17] <mikebot> nickrud, i am registered, let me see if i'm logges in
[01:18] <grout> what file do i gotta edit so i manualy set the ip address
[01:18] <Hatfield> how to i update my applications list?
[01:18] <nickrud> grout, /etc/network/interfaces
[01:19] <cwillu> nickrud, btw, found the problem with that apt-get thingy;  the router they were using was returning slightly malformed data, just enough to confuse apt :)
[01:19] <Alos> zenbum: yes, my syetem its to old PI 64mb ram, 4gb hd
[01:19] <sud0n1m> For maximum compatibility should I use the i386 install rather than the IA64 install? I will be missing some packages going with IA64 right?
[01:19] <nickrud> cwillu, I'm glad I bowed out, I'd never have found that one
[01:20] <cwillu> still not done though;  the router doesn't seem to display the isp's dns anywhere :)
[01:20] <Hatfield> how to i update my applications list?
[01:20] <zenbum> Alos: that part should be okay.... the question is whether your graphics adapter is supported by X
[01:20] <cwillu> and the fix is to add the isp's dns directly to resolv.conf :)
[01:20] <cwillu> gah

[01:21] <zenbum> Alos: read through /var/log/Xorg.0.log and try to see what's going wrong

[01:22] <Alos> zenbum: ok,
[01:24] <Makura> Can someone explain to me the whole process of extracting tar.gz ?
[01:24] <nickrud> the topic should say, NEVER run ANYONES scripts that claim to set your ubuntu up!
[01:24] <rob> tar -zxf file.tar.gz
[01:25] <mnemnonic> Makura: Use File-Roller
[01:25] <grout> where is the file for setting up? sorry i missed it when u said it last
[01:25] <cwillu> nickrud;  unless its a deb?
[01:25] <Makura> mnemnonic: Where would I get ahold of that?  Through Synaptic?
[01:25] <rob> nickrud, it wasn't that
[01:25] <nickrud> cwillu, if it comes from ubuntu, ok
[01:25] <john__> Hi all. I have lost my floppy drive. "no filesystem type specified" ... any ideas anyone?
[01:25] <cwillu> backports?
[01:25] <cwillu> (although those are official)
[01:25] <cwillu> debian?
[01:25] <nickrud> rob, ? I may have misses something
[01:25] <mnemnonic> Makura: Yes ... but it should already be installed (normally)
[01:26] <rob> nickrud, that stuff in the topic wasn't some script
[01:26] <Makura> mnemnonic: Hm..
[01:26] <sud0n1m> is there a different availability of software depending on if you chose AMD64 or i386?
[01:26] <Makura> mnemnonic: I have it, heh
[01:26] <nickrud> rob, I mean as a warning, and a disclaimer of those <> scipts
[01:27] <rob> nickrud, as in auto*****?
[01:27] <cwillu> maybe a better rule would be "don't trust anything that claims to make ubuntu easier" :P
[01:27] <nickrud> rob, or it's near equiv
[01:27] <rob> yeah, did you see the ubuntu uncyclopedia artical?
[01:27] <nickrud> cwillu, yeah, so, back to the fun :)

[01:30] <heyjoe2> NegativeSpace: open terminal, type xkill
[01:30] <nickrud> rob, you're not saying, one of those scripts is there?

[01:41] <HymnToLife> grout> /etc/network/interfacs
[01:41] <grout> thanks
[01:41] <HymnToLife> grout> /etc/network/interfaces sorry
[01:41] <NickGarvey> woo bret no idea, I don't use a GUI
[01:41] <bret> oh what do you use
[01:42] <NickGarvey> command line
[01:42] <nickrud> rob, heh. That page could be fun ;)
[01:42] <elad`> Ever since I installed Ubuntu, when I'm running Ubuntu the clock's just fine, but when I go back to WinXP, it's two hours behind.
[01:42] <bret> thats neet
[01:42] <NickGarvey> takes some getting used too
[01:42] <NickGarvey> my laptop has many prolems with linux
[01:42] <bret> its safe
[01:42] <HymnToLife> NickGarvey> so how come you're here if you use only command line ?
[01:42] <NickGarvey> so I got an old computer, tossed it in a corner, and its now a server
[01:43] <MadPirateBippy> Ahoy.  Or should I go to another channel?
[01:43] <bret> irc is command line
[01:43] <HymnToLife> same here :)
[01:43] <NickGarvey> HymnToLife: I know some command line, and I used a gui for a chucnk of time
[01:43] <Tonga> Hi I changed the formating of my time in KDE and now when running apt-get I get a timestamp error saying I'm to far into the future
[01:43] <NickGarvey> MadPirateBippy: what do you mean kill?
[01:43] <MadPirateBippy> I have an aged G3, OneFish, that had OS9.1 on it that someone gave me to play with.
[01:44] <HymnToLife> Tonga> did you turn your computer into a time machine ?:F
[01:44] <HymnToLife> lol
[01:44] <MadPirateBippy> It took me about an hour to get it to play nice with the 5.10 disk, and I thought everything had gone well...
[01:44] <grout> what do i have to put in that file to set the ip?
[01:44] <bret> i love old operating systems i think they are our future
[01:44] <Volmarias> Hi, I'm trying to enable "Be able to get administrator priveleges" for the one and only user on my system (except root). I cannot use the Administration folders, so you'll have to tell me how to do things via console. I can do su. sudo fails always.
[01:44] <Tonga> HymnToLife: well the time is set correctly, besides it shows am instead of pm
[01:45] <MadPirateBippy> but whenever it gets past booting up, it starts being mean to the monitor, and now they aren't talking.
[01:45] <Volmarias> I've enabled the root account, and set its password
[01:45] <Volmarias> I've also been able to login by ctrl-alt-f1 and logging in as root
[01:45] <zenbum> brent: yes, CP/M was the peak of OS technology
[01:45] <Volmarias> so I KNOW I didn't botch the password
[01:45] <HymnToLife> well, that's cause you used sudo when your computes was showing i.e. 11 pm
[01:45] <NickGarvey> !sudo
[01:45] <ubotu> By default, the root password is locked in Ubuntu. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
[01:45] <bret> totally
[01:45] <NickGarvey> hmm mean to the monitor..
[01:45] <MadPirateBippy> I can't figure out how to get my OSX laptop to talk to OneFish, either- so I have a box here that I can't see what the hell is going on.
[01:45] <Tonga> But I can't change it to pm...
[01:45] <HymnToLife> now you try to us it while it's showing 11 am and it doesn't work, that's pretty normal
[01:45] <NickGarvey> I've never had a prob with the monitor..
[01:45] <Volmarias> ubotu: If you're speaking to me, the root password is set now.
[01:45] <ubotu> Volmarias: what are you talking about?
[01:45] <Volmarias> ubotu: I have a problem.
[01:45] <ubotu> I haven't a clue, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Volmarias
[01:46] <Volmarias> you're a bot :(
[01:46] <ardchoille> Volmarias: ubotu is a info bot
[01:46] <HymnToLife> !ubotu
[01:46] <ubotu> Yep, that's me! I'm a bot alright. Read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage to find out how to use me. Do NOT play with me in any channel except #debian-bots.
[01:46] <Volmarias> boo.
[01:46] <Volmarias> Anyway, does anyone have an idea how to help with this?
[01:46] <Volmarias> If nothing else, just tell me what to put in my "sudoers" file
[01:46] <HymnToLife> with what ?
[01:46] <Tonga> HymnToLife: also after doing a apt-get upgrade I can adjust my clock in KDE it says it can't star su
[01:46] <Tonga> heh
[01:46] <heyjoe2> hi can anyone help me: when i plug a usb device into the computer nothing happens
[01:46] <Tonga> Sounds like something broke :/
[01:46] <Volmarias> I have one account + root on my machine. The password for root has been set, and I can log into root. I CANNOT do sudo.
[01:47] <HymnToLife> nope it's normal
[01:47] <Volmarias> This means I can't do anything in the administrator folders
[01:47] <Tonga> The su error?
[01:47] <Volmarias> I CAN use se
[01:47] <Volmarias> su
[01:47] <HymnToLife> you should reset the sudo timestamp but I don't know how to do it
[01:47] <bret> ive noticed linux likes one driver at a time
[01:47] <Volmarias> I've done "users-admin" and under me I have "executing system administration tasks" checked
[01:47] <Tonga> HymnToLife: me either, im not a noob to linux, but i normally dont use sudo
[01:47] <Volmarias> I do NOT have "Be able to get administrator priveleges"
[01:47] <MadPirateBippy> The error I'm getting is an Out Of Frequency Range error on the monitor, then the monitor goes dead.
[01:47] <Volmarias> it does not display it
[01:48] <Tonga> HymnToLife: is there anyone experienced on this channel? :P
[01:48] <HymnToLife> I guess so lol
[01:48] <Tonga> Mad
[01:48] <Tonga> oops
[01:48] <MadPirateBippy> I've played around with SuSe and with Debian Unstable.
[01:48] <Volmarias> so no one has a clue?
[01:48] <john___> Can anyone tell me how to specify a filesystem for the floppy?
[01:48] <MadPirateBippy> I don't suck a$$, but I'm not great.
[01:48] <Tonga> MadPirateBippy: its a problem with your xorg.conf
[01:48] <HymnToLife> MadPirateBippy> looks like you're trying to use a resolution/refresh rate your monitor doesn't support
[01:48] <zenbum> MadPirateBippy: try a newer monitor if one is available
[01:49] <MadPirateBippy> Yeah, that's what I figured was going on, but how the heck do I fix it if I can't type anything into the computer?
[01:49] <Volmarias> anybody? bueller?
[01:49] <heyjoe2> hi can anyone help me: when i plug a usb device into the computer nothing happens?
[01:49] <MadPirateBippy> I can't get a new monitor- this one was free and came with the free boxen.
[01:49] <Tonga> hit alt+ctrl+f1
[01:49] <Tonga> do you get a console?
[01:49] <Volmarias> yes
[01:49] <cwillu> !ubotu
[01:49] <ubotu> Yep, that's me! I'm a bot alright. Read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage to find out how to use me. Do NOT play with me in any channel except #debian-bots.
[01:49] <Volmarias> I CAN log in as root
[01:49] <Tonga> im not talking to you :P
[01:49] <Volmarias> grr
[01:49] <Volmarias> sorry
[01:49] <grout> can someone tell me what i have to put in interfaces to set the ip?
[01:49] <Volmarias> oh well, I'll try the forums.
[01:49] <Volmarias> thanks for the help
[01:50] <MadPirateBippy> I have the monitor set up right now to give me a dual screen setup with my laptop, which is cool, but not what I really want.
[01:50] <HymnToLife> grout> are you using a gui (KDE or GNOME) ?
[01:51] <Installer36> Heyjoe2> have you tried mount
[01:51] <zenbum> MadPirateBippy: Ctrl-Opt-F1 should switch you to a text screen
[01:52] <bret> i love you guys nerds rule
[01:52] <NegativeSpace> I've installed JRE 1.5 but Firefox doesn't seem to think I have -- I tried Sun's installation guide to no avail... how can I get Firefox to see the JRE?
[01:52] <Toma-> bret, who said we were nerds?
[01:52] <heyjoe2> Installer36: I dont know how to do mount. im a beginner and not very good at the command line
[01:52] <bret> i was projecting again
[01:52] <Installer36> HeyJoe2 > me either but in the terminal try mount
[01:52] <Toma-> NegativeSpace, have you linked the java plugin .so to the new firefox1.5 directory?
[01:53] <grout> im using gnome
[01:53] <Cody`> Anyone know why ubuntu's pthread headers don't have PTHREAD_RECURSIVE_MUTEX_INITIALIZER_NP?
[01:53] <MadPirateBippy> zenbum: I'm setting it up now to try that
[01:53] <grout> any idea hymntolife?

[01:53] <NegativeSpace> Toma, I created a link to a *.so (I think?) file inside Firefox's plugins dir.
[01:53] <HymnToLife> grout> run gksudo network-admin
[01:54] <zenbum> MadPirateBippy: if you can't get a text screen then there's no hope  :)
[01:54] <Tonga> Damnit...
[01:54] <Toma-> NegativeSpace, brb
[01:54] <heyjoe2> installer36: i typed mount in the terminal and i got a bunch of text
[01:54] <MadPirateBippy> ZenBum, you are a genious and I luff you.
[01:54] <MadPirateBippy> Okay, I've got the text screen, now what do I do?
[01:54] <Tonga> Can someone help me with this timestamp error with sudo
[01:54] <NegativeSpace> Egad.
[01:54] <fade__> is here anybody using amd64?
[01:54] <heyjoe2> installer36: not quite sure what it means
[01:54] <Tonga> I can run tzconfig but not as a elevated user
[01:54] <fmasi> Toma- thx

[01:55] <Installer36> lsusb
[01:55] <Managu> fade__, I'm running Ubuntu on an AMD64, albeit the 32bit distribution
[01:55] <MadPirateBippy> Brett: I agree. Nerds rock.
[01:55] <zenbum> MadPirateBippy: you need to fix /etc/X11/xorg.conf to get X working.... but since I nothing about your monitor I can't advise you much there
[01:56] <HymnToLife> MadPirateBippy> try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:56] <fade__> managu, do you know, where can i get w32codecs for amd64?
[01:56] <mahangu> how can i change my hostname? hostname SET NAME doesn't work
[01:56] <MadPirateBippy> Do you remember when the Blue and White g3's first came out?
[01:56] <HymnToLife> it migh be a bit frightening though, stick with the defauts except for the resolution
[01:56] <MadPirateBippy> I have the monitor that goes with that.
[01:56] <misfit_toy> mahangu, /etc/hosts
[01:56] <mahangu> misfit_toy: thanks
[01:56] <misfit_toy> np
[01:56] <Managu> fade__: not a clue, sorry
[01:56] <Stormx2> Ack. Kororaa is rubbish >_<
[01:57] <fade__> ok
[01:57] <biker4444> anyone know what modules need to run or kernel options need ot be set to make ubuntu boot off my external usb hard drive?
[01:57] <Toma-> NegativeSpace, sorry, nature called. :D open up firefox and goto "about:plugins"
[01:57] <Toma-> biker4444, is it installed on the usb drive?
[01:57] <biker4444> yes
[01:57] <NegativeSpace> Toma Okay, done.
[01:57] <mahangu> exit
[01:57] <biker4444> used the autopartition option on install
[01:57] <mahangu> exit
[01:57] <NegativeSpace> Toma Nothing there.
[01:58] <Toma-> biker4444, well you need to boot from the usb drive..
[01:58] <Toma-> NegativeSpace, okie.
[01:58] <Toma-> NegativeSpace, whats the location of the new ff dir?
[01:58] <jcuk> Where is my linux kernel source kept on ubuntu?
[01:58] <Installer36> heyjoe2> was it listed under lsusb
[01:58] <heyjoe2> installer36: do u think ud be able to help me if i pastebin'd what i got
[01:58] <jcuk> i tried /usr/src/linux, not there
[01:58] <Toma-> jcuk, have you installed it?
[01:58] <jcuk> probably not, how do i do it?
[01:59] <Installer36> Did you try lsusb
[01:59] <biker4444> Toma>bios is all set, grub boot menu comes up, kernal begins loading, splash screen saying "loading modules" at the bottom comes up, then it return an error saying /dev/sda1 was not found
[01:59] <Toma-> jcuk, hummmm... are you rebuilding the kernel or just a module for it?
[01:59] <Stormx2> How do I check what graphics card I have?
[01:59] <jcuk> Toma- Im installing 2 patches
[01:59] <Installer36> heyjoe2 what are you plugging in
[01:59] <heyjoe2> Installer36: im pretty sure it didnt recognize it. cos i took it out and typed mount, and i got the exact same response
[01:59] <Makura> Where is the Gaim package located?
[01:59] <Toma-> jcuk, ok then
[01:59] <heyjoe2> installer36: usb 2 port
[01:59] <NegativeSpace> Toma Well I think that's part of the problem, I THINK it's /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox, but I don't know for sure, and I don't know how to check.
[02:00] <Installer36> Hardware?
[02:00] <Stormx2> :) please?
[02:00] <Toma-> NegativeSpace, how did you install it?
[02:00] <zenbum> MadPirateBippy: does your keyboard have a numeric keypad with a + key?.... if so, press Ctrl-Opt-F7 to change back to X screen, then press Ctrl-Opt-+ repeatedly... it might eventually sync up
[02:00] <Toma-> biker4444, sounds interesting... can you boot in recovery mode?
[02:00] <heyjoe2> installer36: a 128mb usb drive
[02:00] <biker4444> toma followed tutorial at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=80811

[02:03] <funtrac> hello, I have an nvidia Geforce 2 MX400 configured working properly, but I'm trying to set twinview without success, I've added Options to my device section inside xorg.conf but when I check /var/log/Xorg.log it says those options are not used, any ideas?I'm using driver nv because with driver nvidia it hangs, thanks in advance
[02:03] <Genfoo> How can I remove the old unused kernels and associated files?
[02:03] <MadPirateBippy> ZenBum: it didn't work.
[02:03] <Genfoo> I have like 500 kernels :-P
[02:03] <MadPirateBippy> As far as I could tell, nothing changed.
[02:03] <ion_> Gentoo: did you find answer???
[02:03] <biker4444> toma, boots but kernal possibly isnt loading right modules/right loading order for modules to recognize drive
[02:03] <jcuk> Toma- will i need to download the kernel source and then install it?
[02:03] <nickrud> Genfoo, aptitude purge <selected kernels>
[02:04] <Genfoo> :-)
[02:04] <jcuk> bah bugger it ill sort it 2moz, goin to bed, nn
[02:04] <Toma-> jcuk, no, run "sudo apt-get install kernel-source-2.6.12" iirc...
[02:04] <jcuk> oh
[02:04] <nickrud> Genfoo, it's all good, your grub will be updated :)
[02:04] <zenbum> MadPirateBippy: too bad, that would have been an easy fix.... well, for the time being you can use Ctrl-Opt-F1 through -F6 to switch between different text consoles
[02:04] <jcuk> nah cant, aint got lan drivers installed yet :P

[02:04] <MadPirateBippy> Ah, poo, I can't really do that.
[02:05] <Crackez> kernel-image
[02:05] <Toma-> jcuk, doh :/ you can find it at packages.ubuntu.com then
[02:05] <Genfoo> linux-kernel-'uname -r' ?
[02:05] <MadPirateBippy> I need to use OneFish for graphics work.
[02:05] <nickrud> Genfoo, linux-image-<something>
[02:05] <Genfoo> ok
[02:05] <Genfoo> thanks

[02:05] <jcuk> its okay toma, ive got the lan drivers here, cheers m8
[02:05] <bret> how do you log into gentoo
[02:05] <zenbum> MadPirateBippy: support for older macs is kind of spotty in the linux world
[02:05] <Toma-> jcuk, np :)
[02:06] <Toma-> biker4444, repeat steps 7-10?
[02:06] <nickrud> bret, by asking on #gentoo
[02:06] <MadPirateBippy> Yeah, and understandably so, but the box is running.
[02:06] <Genfoo> lmfao xD why is openoffice help uninstalled when I removed the kernel?
[02:06] <fade__> in what dir is keeping sources.lst?
[02:06] <bret> ok

[02:06] <MadPirateBippy> So, how do I use the command line and fiddle with the monitor settings?
[02:06] <nickrud> Genfoo, really?
[02:06] <bret> just curious
[02:06] <Genfoo> Makura, for gzipped tar archives its tar zxf <filename>
[02:06] <Genfoo> nickrud, rofl yeah
[02:07] <nickrud> Genfoo, show me the line :)
[02:07] <ion_> Gentoo: I did you get it I had to go away....
[02:07] <Makura> Genfoo: I thought there was 4 letters
[02:07] <Toma-> biker4444, sounds like a great idea youre going thru with :) You know, there are external HDD that you can buy with ubuntu pre-installed!

[02:08] <biker4444> toma, i like my 300gb nice i just bought :-D
[02:08] <Genfoo> oh crap nvm :-)
[02:08] <Genfoo> aptitude outsmarted me
[02:09] <Genfoo> it realized that openoffice help is pointless xP
[02:09] <MadPirateBippy> ZenBum: thanks so much for your help anyway, I really appriciate it. At least now I can get to the command line.
[02:09] <Toma-> im not saying get a new one ;) have you tried doing steps 7-10 again?
[02:09] <nickrud> Genfoo, ok, yes, replaced by something else
[02:09] <heyjoe2> hi can anyone help me: when i plug a usb device into the computer nothing happens
[02:09] <ddonky> heyjoe2 - what kind of reaction are you expecting?
[02:09] <nickrud> I did the same purge (exactly, as a coincidence) and didn't have any openoffice stuff) I do like aptitude :)
[02:10] <bk> does anyone know how to decrypt AAC music files?
[02:10] <dabaR> as in listen to them?
[02:10] <nickrud> !faac
[02:10] <ubotu> Not a clue. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, nickrud
[02:10] <heyjoe2> ddonky: for it to come up on my desktop and allow me to access saved fils
[02:10] <zenbum> bk: use a mac
[02:10] <nickrud> !aac
[02:10] <Toma-> !info faac
[02:10] <ubotu> well, aac is read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats for information about aac support
[02:10] <ubotu> faac: (an AAC audio encoder), section multiverse/sound, is optional. Version: 1.24clean-0ubuntu3 (breezy), Packaged size: 33 kB, Installed size: 92 kB
[02:10] <NegativeSpace> Toma You are God-like.
[02:10] <Genfoo> zenbum, not good advice ;-)
[02:10] <bk> Toma, that's what i'm reading, but i don't understand what it's saying.
[02:10] <Toma-> NegativeSpace, why? :/
[02:10] <ddonky> heyjoe2 - a flash drive? a camera? an ipod?
[02:11] <heyjoe2> ddonky: flash
[02:11] <NegativeSpace> Toma You got Firefox seeing JRE for me.
[02:11] <Toma-> ddonky, no, its superman!
[02:11] <ddonky> lol
[02:11] <CarlFK> is there an apt-get command to add universe to the existing line in sources.list?
[02:11] <ion_> sorry guys to ask the same question because I was away that's why....so what shall I do to get rid of from the old kernels..?
[02:11] <Toma-> NegativeSpace, haha :D you should have followed that tutorial a bit further
[02:11] <zenbum> CarlFK: vi /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:11] <erg0t_> hello fellow ubuntu users
[02:11] <erg0t_> :D
[02:11] <NegativeSpace> Toma What can I say -- I'm stupid.
[02:11] <ddonky> heyjoe2 - i've never used a flash drive, 'cept ipod shuffle
[02:11] <CarlFK> ion_: why do you want to get rid of them?
[02:11] <Toma-> NegativeSpace, teehehe :D
[02:11] <bk> is decrypting the same as encoding?
[02:11] <CarlFK> zenbum: swell... ;)
[02:11] <Toma-> ion_, just use synaptic
[02:12] <nickrud> CarlFK, no, if you have a standard /etc/apt/sources.list, add multiverse at the ends of line 19 & 20, make sure there's no # at the begining of the line
[02:12] <heyjoe2> ddonky: ok
[02:12] <ddonky> heyjoe2 - do any other usb devices work on the same ports?
[02:12] <CarlFK> nickrud: trying to script it
[02:12] <nickrud> CarlFK, and update (apt-get update, or reload in synaptic)
[02:12] <heyjoe2> ddonky: my mp3 player works on the port
[02:12] <heyjoe2> ddonky: and the mouse
[02:12] <ion_> CarlFK: I don't use them do I ?
[02:12] <basketcase3> Hi, could someone gelp me get my Winmodem up and running? I'm already past the scanModem stage, and I am pretty sure I have found my driver I need.
[02:12] <ddonky> heyjoe2 - ok, so the port is being seen....
[02:12] <Toma-> CarlFK, youll need to delve into the world of sed
[02:12] <erg0t_> soooooo... im triying to enable/use/figure out SMB networking in Ubuntu breezy badger
[02:13] <CarlFK> Toma-: thats why I was hoping for an apt-command ;)
[02:13] <erg0t_> not much success :(
[02:13] <Toma-> CarlFK, no apt will add universe :/
[02:13] <ddonky> heyjoe2 - can you mount it by hand? using teh command-line
[02:13] <heyjoe2> ddonky: i dont know how
[02:13] <CarlFK> ion_: messing with the kernels for no good reason is a bad place to start learning how to do things
[02:13] <zenbum> CarlFK: sed might be tool you want
[02:13] <erg0t_> ehm... anybody?
[02:13] <siggi> how can I see what version im using of kubuntu ? breezy or what...
[02:13] <CarlFK> ion_: so in this case, if you have to ask, you shouldn't be messing with it
[02:14] <nickrud> sed is overkill, unless you wanna give them the exact one-liner
[02:14] <basketcase3> Err....what was that all about?
[02:14] <erg0t_> um
[02:14] <ddonky> heyjoe2 - well, make a mountpount- 'sudo mkdir /mnt/flash' or whatever you want to name it
[02:14] <MadPirateBippy> Okay, I got something new
[02:14] <ion_> CarlFK: I know but what what can I do with the old ones when I get upgrade..???
[02:14] <CarlFK> ion_: they will be fine
[02:14] <nickrud> basketcase3, I've got a win modem that truly sucks, I'm blowing off steam.
[02:14] <MadPirateBippy> It says: can't read lib/modulespowerpc/kernel/drivers/video and then a whole bunch of files at the end.
[02:15] <NegativeSpace> How do I remove programs I've uninstalled from the Applications menu?
[02:15] <basketcase3> Oh. Ok. I was confused for a second.
[02:15] <MadPirateBippy> What's going on there, and how do I fix it?
[02:15] <Toma-> im out of here. time to pick up the new pc! woot :D
[02:15] <erg0t_> ok, thanks
[02:15] <erg0t_> bye
[02:15] <ion_> CarlFk: don't worry I have a old pc just to mess around...:)
[02:16] <heyjoe2> ddonky: ok i did that, what now
[02:16] <heyjoe2> ddonky: called it flash
[02:16] <ddonky> heyjoe2 - then mount it there. 'sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash'
[02:16] <siggi>  how can I see what version im using of kubuntu ? breezy or what ?? :)
[02:16] <heyjoe2> it says i must specify the filesystem type
[02:16] <CarlFK> ion_: then help me review http://dabodev.com/wiki/LiveCDDaboDemo ;)
[02:16] <heyjoe2> ddonky: it says i must specify the filesystem type
[02:16] <ddonky> ok, what filesystem is it?
[02:17] <CarlFK> ion_: the answer to your Q is: rm
[02:17] <heyjoe2> ddonky: i dont know?
[02:17] <ddonky> heyjoe2 - k, do you use it with windows?
[02:17] <CarlFK> ion_: kernels are just files, to remove them, use the rm command
[02:17] <nickrud> siggi, apt-cache policy kdelibs
[02:17] <Installer36> hayjoe2 did have the thumbdrive plugged in during boot up
[02:18] <examancer> quick question: how do you remove a server that I added through Places > Connect to Server ?
[02:18] <NegativeSpace> Has anyone here got jEdit installed -- if so, how?
[02:18] <LSZH> examancer: And how can I change the properties of such a server?
[02:18] <examancer> the server list is getting pretty long after using nautilus for all my ftp, and some of the servers i want to get out of there as it was just a one time use
[02:19] <siggi> nickrud: and how do I change to the unstable vesrion ?
[02:19] <Genfoo> what's the command for auto-reconfiguring GRUB based on installed kernels?
[02:19] <nickrud> Genfoo, update-grub
[02:19] <Genfoo> :-)
[02:19] <examancer> LSZH: i dunno. is that a rhetorical question? do you have the key? :P
[02:19] <ion_> CarlFk: cool man thanks....if I'm not mess arround I won't never be good...:)
[02:19] <LSZH> examancer: No, that's an additional question... ;)
[02:19] <Genfoo> nickrud, thanks -- that's awesome :D
[02:19] <examancer> heh... damn. thats what i thought. just hoping
[02:19] <nickrud> siggi, I'm not sure what you mean; but kubuntu will have updated libs in dapper (which is currently unstable)
[02:20] <LSZH> examancer: Can't you just unmount your FTP connections?
[02:20] <MadPirateBippy> Oh, hey, is the person with the date problem on their machine still here?
[02:20] <grout_> how do i get into the wireless tools?
[02:20] <examancer> LSZH: how? wheres the mount point even at? nautilus does it for me so i dunno
[02:20] <nickrud> siggi, s/libs/kde/
[02:20] <LSZH> examancer: Well, I cannot change the properties of an FTP connection, however, I can unmount it... right mouse click, unmount...
[02:21] <examancer> where can i right click on it? if i go to the places menu and right click, the ftp connection is opened
[02:21] <elad`> How do I watch .rm files?
[02:21] <examancer> if i do it from the nautilus window, right click just does nothing
[02:21] <LSZH> examancer: Oh, I had shourtcuts on the desktop...
[02:21] <emonkey> elad`, install realplyer
[02:22] <elad`> I can't find it in synaptic.
[02:22] <nickrud> elad`, http://RealplayerInstallHowto
[02:22] <examancer> LSZH: oh, i figured it out... if you change the sidebar in nautilus from Places to Tree or something else you can right click on it there
[02:22] <HymnToLife> !realplayer
[02:22] <ubotu> I heard realplayer is http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[02:22] <grout_> how do i get into the wireless tools?
[02:22] <ion_> CarlFK: well I have some problem with my USB ports as well, do you think you can help me ?
[02:22] <ddonky> elad - the synaptic version is realplayer 8 anyway, it is really old
[02:22] <gilianima> is ruby going to replace java ?
[02:22] <nickrud> same thing, really :)
[02:22] <examancer> LSZH: still no way to change the config though... guess you just have to unmount and remount with the new settings
[02:23] <Genfoo> ruby != java
[02:23] <elad`> Is it spyware-infested, like its windows counterpart?
[02:23] <CarlFK> ion_: let me try.... nope.  no clue what is wrong.
[02:23] <examancer> indeed it does not
[02:23] <Genfoo> elad`, spyware?
[02:23] <heyjoe2> ddonky: i use the flash drive with windows and mac and it works fine
[02:23] <Genfoo> :O!
[02:23] <nickrud> Genfoo, I was thinking, realplayer.
[02:23] <zenbum> in ubuntu is there a way of tracking testing or unstable, as in Debian?  or must one simply track dapper?
[02:23] <Genfoo> bah not this 1
[02:23] <do_me_nice> whats the command to become root user
[02:23] <Genfoo> su -
[02:23] <Genfoo> do_me_nice, use sudo though
[02:23] <Genfoo> !sudo
[02:23] <ubotu> By default, the root password is locked in Ubuntu. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
[02:23] <PhysicsGeek> hi there
[02:23] <nickrud> zenbum, it's not so simple with ubuntu, mixing is much less easy
[02:23] <elad`> Genfoo, yes, the realplayer version of WinXP has often be infested with spyware and nugware.
[02:24] <elad`> nag
[02:24] <PhysicsGeek> I'm a n00b here, so mind if i ask a dumb question
[02:24] <Genfoo> PhysicsGeek, what the the law of universal gravitation
[02:24] <RageMax> is it generally safe to move from breezy to dapper at this point?
[02:24] <PhysicsGeek> Gm1m2/r^2
[02:24] <Genfoo> :-P
[02:24] <Genfoo> :)
[02:24] <PhysicsGeek> happy? ;~)
[02:24] <Genfoo> :D!
[02:24] <ddonky> heyjoe2 - so it's file type is vfat, 'sudo mount /dev/sda /mnt/flash -t vfat'
[02:24] <Mystery47_Newbie> hello everybody!
[02:24] <zenbum> nickrud: i don't want to mix, i just want to track the equivalent of testing..... would that be dapper?
[02:24] <MadPirateBippy> Hehe, PhysicsGeek, I love your name.
[02:24] <Genfoo> ummm
[02:24] <nickrud> RageMax, if you have a spare partition, give dapper to that
[02:24] <RageMax> anyone?
[02:24] <Genfoo> snell's law?
[02:24] <ion_> CarlFK: when I plug my headphone with microphones it doesn't work...
[02:24] <PhysicsGeek> many "rdr" terms pop up in physics, madpirate
[02:24] <Genfoo> pfft
[02:24] <nickrud> zenbum, it's almost to the point of testing, give it a few more weeks
[02:24] <RageMax> nickrud: well, anything that will completely screw over my system ;)
[02:24] <MadPirateBippy> I'm a PhycisGeek fan :) A lot of my ex boyfriends are physics nerds.
[02:25] <ion_> I mean if I wanna skype for example...
[02:25] <examancer> PhysicsGeek: nice to see someone living up to there nick :P
[02:25] <RageMax> I can fix little things if they break
[02:25] <Makura> Is "make" a command?  An installation readme for a Gaim plugin tells me to run 'make', but terminal says "command not found"
[02:25] <CarlFK> ion_: usb headset?  no clue if there is support for that
[02:25] <do_me_nice> su - does not work...
[02:25] <Mystery47_Newbie> i have one little question......how i can make scripts.....what is file name? is it <name>.sh?
[02:25] <HymnToLife> my ex boyfriends are physics nerds. <= lol my gf is too :p
[02:25] <dabaR> Makura: sudo aptitude install build-essential
[02:25] <PhysicsGeek> well, okay, but I do have a question
[02:25] <Genfoo> Mystery47_Newbie, you don't even need a extention
[02:25] <nickrud> Makura, sudo aptitude install build-essential , that'll give you make
[02:25] <PhysicsGeek> there are *female* physics geeks?
[02:25] <Genfoo> Mystery47_Newbie, you write a text document
[02:25] <heyjoe2> ddonky:i typed that
[02:25] <Makura> dabaR, nickrud: Thanks
[02:25] <Genfoo> Mystery47_Newbie, then you save it
[02:26] <MadPirateBippy> Well, all the girl physics geeks here at SU are strait. So sad, go to a small college and all the hot chicks aren't into girls :(
[02:26] <HymnToLife> obviously
[02:26] <Genfoo> Mystery47_Newbie, then type as "sudo chmod a+x <filename>"
[02:26] <Mystery47_Newbie> oh...so if i put some command on file without extension....it works...?
[02:26] <MadPirateBippy> At my uni, 1/2 the CS majors are female.
[02:26] <Hobbsee> PhysicsGeek: sure :P
[02:26] <fnord123> I met some female nuclear physics geeks. wow they were arrogant
[02:26] <examancer> damn PhysicsGeek... when is this question comming? ;)
[02:26] <nickrud> MadPirateBippy, you lucky duyde
[02:26] <Genfoo> Mystery47_Newbie, mhmm this is not windoze :D
[02:26] <CarlFK> Mystery47_Newbie: doesn't matter what the name is
[02:26] <PhysicsGeek> so ive recently gotten ubuntu-- how do i partitiion my system to set up windows?
[02:26] <HymnToLife> female geeks are rare but if you search hard enough you can find them lol
[02:26] <dabaR> MadPirateBippy: lies.
[02:26] <MadPirateBippy> I'm a girl.
[02:26] <MadPirateBippy> LOL
[02:26] <grout_> how do i get into the wireless tools?
[02:26] <Genfoo> :o
[02:26] <Genfoo> grout_, what exactly do you mean
[02:26] <Genfoo> there is no unified system
[02:26] <nickrud> MadPirateBippy, my bad
[02:26] <Genfoo> sudo network-admin ? :o
[02:26] <Myrth> hi, which package includes dos2unix and unix2dos?
[02:26] <ion_> CarlFK: perhaps somebody else have the same problem.....than me
[02:26] <MadPirateBippy> No lies here. I was one of 6 girls at the ACM turney at LSU last semester.
[02:27] <Genfoo> :-D
[02:27] <grout_> when i ran gentoo update it said it was installing some wireless tools
[02:27] <grout_> thats what the name was
[02:27] <heyjoe2> ddonky: what should i do from here
[02:27] <Mystery47_Newbie> oh.....i just thinked that if i make so scripts to bigger commands...so it will be easier to do later...is it how it works?
[02:27] <Genfoo> iwconfig ?
[02:27] <CarlFK> ion_: usb headset?  probably want to post that on the forum
[02:27] <Genfoo> Mystery47_Newbie, ?
[02:27] <Genfoo> yeah
[02:27] <heyjoe2> ddonky: does it matter if the usb device has a name on the mac computer i use at uni and now we are trying to name it flash?
[02:27] <PhysicsGeek> anyone know a page I can look to for absolute newbies?
[02:27] <nickrud> ion_, or, watch for crimsun here, he knows sound well
[02:27] <Genfoo> umm grout_ we don't gentoo here
[02:27] <Genfoo> :-D
[02:27] <Hobbsee> PhysicsGeek: wiki.ubuntu.com
[02:27] <grout_> oops not gentoo
[02:28] <grout_> i meant ubuntu
[02:28] <MadPirateBippy> Hymn: Girlgeeks aren't hard to find. They just tend to mingle with non-geeks as well, and a lot of them dress preppy. At least here at SU.
[02:28] <ddonky> heyjoe2 - someone ealier recommended rebooting with it in the port. no we are naming the place we are mounting it flash, linux just calls it /dev/sda
[02:28] <PhysicsGeek> there doesnt seem to be much help there in partitiioning once my system is already 100% ubuntu
[02:28] <pinpoint> MadPirateBippy: preppy?
[02:28] <Genfoo> oh resize ext3?
[02:28] <Hobbsee> MadPirateBippy: can we relocate all talk of girls and uni to #ubuntu-offtopic please?
[02:28] <zenbum> MadPirateBippy: girl pirates are still a novelty though  :)
[02:28] <fade__> !gmp
[02:28] <ubotu> fade__: I don't know, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[02:28] <Genfoo> :P
[02:28] <CarlFK> how come this worked with the Hoary Live CD, doesn't work with dapper installed: apt-get install wxpython
[02:28] <heyjoe2> ddonky: so reboot the system and leave it in the port
[02:28] <Genfoo> :)
[02:28] <Dr_Fate> how can I determine my hostname?
[02:28] <HymnToLife> PhysicsGeek> you mean you only have ext3partitions ?
[02:28] <Mystery47_Newbie> bec i have this command how to mount windows partition disk.....and its quite long command....so maybe its better like windowspartition or something...
[02:28] <MadPirateBippy> Hobbsee: sure.
[02:28] <heyjoe2> heyjoe: ok ill try that
[02:28] <PhysicsGeek> ....?
[02:29] <Hobbsee> seeing as it's hardly on topic...
[02:29] <ddonky> heyjoe2 - thats what someone else recomennded,
[02:29] <Genfoo> Dr_Fate, cat /etc/hosts
[02:29] <PhysicsGeek> ext3partitions?
[02:29] <nickrud> CarlFK, the name may have changed, you can look for the equiv on http://packages.ubuntu.com
[02:29] <HymnToLife> PhysicsGeek> pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l
[02:29] <ion_> cool man....:).
[02:29] <BIDOO> !_!
[02:29] <ubotu> NO SPEAKE ENLISH! Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, BIDOO
[02:29] <Genfoo> lmfao
[02:29] <Mystery47_Newbie> can i put that script file anywhere i want.....like my own folder?
[02:29] <ddonky> are there two heyjoe's?
[02:29] <BIDOO> ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
[02:29] <BIDOO> so i was wondering
[02:29] <Genfoo> oww
[02:29] <CarlFK> nickrud: kinda - all I found was http://packages.ubuntu.com/hoary/python/wxpython2.5.3
[02:29] <PhysicsGeek> thanks, hymn
[02:29] <Genfoo> those 'm''s make my eyes hury
[02:29] <Genfoo> *hurt
[02:30] <HymnToLife> indeed
[02:30] <HymnToLife> such things should be outlawed
[02:30] <BIDOO> i think my local problem is that the bios does not load my sata drivers on the install computer.......................................................
[02:30] <BIDOO> any clues how to do such a thing?
[02:30] <nekostar> ~_~
[02:30] <nekostar> yesh
[02:30] <nekostar> the sata thing
[02:30] <nekostar> :/
[02:30] <pinpoint> it should with ubuntu during install
[02:30] <MadPirateBippy> Allright, how do I change my monitor refresh rate from the command line?
[02:30] <nekostar> when i installed windows i had to do third party drivers
[02:30] <pinpoint> atleast i thought
[02:31] <nekostar> so when i install ubuntu it freaks out
[02:31] <Installer36> ddonky > I thinkhe read your reply as thats what you wanted him to do
[02:31] <nekostar> um
[02:31] <Genfoo> mu
[02:31] <nekostar> it boots all the way to a blinking cursor
[02:31] <HymnToLife> MadPirateBippy> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver -sorg
[02:31] <nekostar> :/
[02:31] <NegativeSpace> Has anyone here got jEdit installed -- if so, how?
[02:31] <nickrud> CarlFK, I'm no python dude, but something has to be a replacement
[02:31] <Genfoo> sudo apt-get install jedit?
[02:31] <Genfoo> :o nvm
[02:31] <Genfoo> O-o
[02:32] <NegativeSpace> Heh.
[02:32] <BIDOO> ok
[02:32] <BIDOO> bot sucks on that one
[02:32] <tallmf> guys=how do I unmount a drive thru CLI?
[02:32] <Mystery47_Newbie> thanks for helping me.....big thanks genfoo and all others...=)
[02:32] <nickrud> CarlFK, try apt-cache search wxpython, one of those should be right
[02:32] <nekostar> no clues?
[02:32] <Genfoo> =D
[02:32] <MadPirateBippy> Hymn: I got the message
[02:32] <ddonky> Installer36 - yeah, I thiink you're right
[02:33] <MadPirateBippy> unknown option: s
[02:33] <nekostar> Seveas, you around??
[02:33] <Genfoo> tallmf, mount /dev/<device>
[02:33] <MadPirateBippy> hr, repeat, for all the letters in sorg
[02:33] <HymnToLife> hmm maybe I did a typo in the command
[02:33] <Genfoo> er
[02:33] <Grout58> anyone know when the next version of ubuntu will be released?
[02:33] <Genfoo> April 20
[02:33] <MadPirateBippy> and now I am lost.
[02:33] <Genfoo> Dapper :)
[02:33] <nickrud> Grout58, my birthday
[02:33] <tallmf> I want to UNmount though....
[02:33] <HymnToLife> it is : sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:33] <Genfoo> umount /media/<device>
[02:34] <HymnToLife> tallmf> sudo umount/whatever/device
[02:34] <Installer36> ddonky >I made the suggestion of rebooting....Shouldnt have?
[02:34] <NegativeSpace> April 20th is one day after my birthday.
[02:34] <Genfoo> sudo umount /media/<device>
[02:34] <NegativeSpace> Whoo.
[02:34] <Genfoo> :P
[02:34] <Coag> you think Xgl will be alpha by the time Dapper comes out?
[02:34] <ion_> see you later everyone.....
[02:34] <Genfoo> well, *technically* you can use dapper *right* *now*
[02:34] <nickrud> Coag, it's already alpha
[02:34] <siggi> is it possible to get glftpd avalible for adept in kubuntu ?? :)
[02:34] <Genfoo> but its still in testing stages
[02:34] <Coag> last I heard it wasn't even alpha yet
[02:34] <Genfoo> Coag, dapper?
[02:34] <Coag> Genfoo: Xgl
[02:34] <ddonky> Installer35 - seems reasonable to me, i'm not a real hacker, i'm barely qualified to offer advice here. :)
[02:34] <Genfoo> ohmg yeah
[02:34] <nickrud> Coag, it works, it has bugs, that's alpha by any def
[02:34] <Genfoo> xgl is super unstable
[02:35] <ddonky> opps, sorry I got yr name wrong
[02:35] <Coag> nickrud: true
[02:35] <Genfoo> xgl is highly experimental
[02:35] <ddonky> Installer36- seems reasonable to me, i'm not a real hacker, i'm barely qualified to offer advice here. :)
[02:35] <Coag> I know I run it on my other box
[02:35] <Genfoo> how did u get it to work?
[02:35] <Coag> easily?
[02:35] <MadPirateBippy> Hey, I'm uber lost here.
[02:35] <NegativeSpace> What's the Ubuntu equivalent to ctrl-alt-del ?
[02:35] <nickrud> !xgl
[02:35] <ubotu> XGL on Ubuntu: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/XglHowto - Join #ubuntu-xgl for all the XGL fun on Ubuntu systems. It works ONLY on dapper. Pretty videos on http://www.novell.com/linux/xglrelease/
[02:36] <Coag> I have nvidia
[02:36] <MadPirateBippy> It wants me to select a video card driver.
[02:36] <Genfoo> NegativeSpace, the same thing
[02:36] <Installer36> heyjoe2 did it work?
[02:36] <nickrud> nvidia, 5 minutes with that wiki page
[02:36] <MadPirateBippy> WTH? How do I find that out?
[02:36] <NegativeSpace> Genfoo Nothing happens.
[02:36] <Genfoo> well what are you trying to do?
[02:36] <MadPirateBippy> Is there one for macs?
[02:36] <nickrud> MadPirateBippy, lspci in another terminal, that should give you a clue
[02:37] <NegativeSpace> Genfoo Well nothing... yet.
[02:37] <Genfoo> NegativeSpace, umm just press the power button (don't hold it down)
[02:37] <Genfoo> I do that :S
[02:37] <MadPirateBippy> nick: over my head. Smaller words for the newb?
[02:37] <NegativeSpace> Genfoo Okay, cheers.
[02:37] <Genfoo> umm does it work?
[02:37] <NegativeSpace> Genfoo Heh, no.
[02:37] <we2by> what is the latest ubuntu verison?
[02:37] <Genfoo> breezy 5.10
[02:37] <nickrud> MadPirateBippy, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg ; if you have standard hardware it should fill that blank in for you
[02:37] <Coag> we2by: stable or sid?
[02:38] <Genfoo> upcoming release 6.04 on April 20
[02:38] <MadPirateBippy> What's Ispci?
[02:38] <Genfoo> Coag, assuming stable
[02:38] <we2by> stable
[02:38] <Coag> k
[02:38] <Genfoo> MadPirateBippy, lspci is ls for pci
[02:38] <Coag> MadPirateBippy: that's an L
[02:38] <nickrud> MadPirateBippy, lspci lists all the PCI hardware you have
[02:38] <Coag> not an I
[02:38] <MadPirateBippy> Okay. I'm still not tracking what pci is.
[02:38] <Genfoo> the card stuff in your computer :P
[02:38] <Genfoo> like video card, etc.
[02:39] <antonio_> hello
[02:39] <nickrud> MadPirateBippy, pci is most of the slots on the motherboard
[02:39] <HymnToLife> !tell antonio_ about hello
[02:39] <Genfoo> rofl wtF?
[02:39] <nickrud> !tell me about hello
[02:39] <Genfoo> !tell Genfoo about hello
[02:39] <nickrud> that's rude
[02:39] <MadPirateBippy> Oh, that hardware stuff that actually runs the code? It MATTERS?
[02:39] <MadPirateBippy> Damn.
[02:39] <Coag> Genfoo: most video cards are AGP or PCI E nowadays :P

[02:40] <MadPirateBippy> Okay, I'm in a blue screen that's asking me to configure my xserver, and my usual trick of ctrl F8 to open a new window didn't work.
[02:40] <Coag> You make me feel high tech
[02:40] <Coag> I use PCI E
[02:40] <HymnToLife> NegativeSpace> that's rude.. male or female ?
[02:40] <heyjoe2> installer36: it didnt worik
[02:41] <MadPirateBippy> What do I do to get a new session running?
[02:41] <Genfoo> however, Coag
[02:41] <Mystery47_Newbie> when i have made those scripts.....how i can put it work......must i put those files in some folder.....?
[02:41] <Genfoo> I just got a new $250 PC
[02:41] <Genfoo> amazing deal
[02:41] <Coag> cheap dude, sounds like a good deal
[02:41] <Mystery47_Newbie> i just made that chmod thing...
[02:41] <NegativeSpace> HymnToLife Dude, does it really make a difference either way?
[02:41] <Genfoo> AMD Sempron (secterly 64-bit enabled >:) ) 2800+
[02:41] <HymnToLife> hmmno indeed lol
[02:41] <Coag> ahh that's what I've got
[02:41] <HymnToLife> Semprons stink
[02:41] <Genfoo> or wait nvm 3100+
[02:41] <heyjoe2> installer36: any idea where to go from heree
[02:41] <Genfoo> HymnToLife, no they don't
[02:41] <HymnToLife> they're even worse than Celerons
[02:41] <Coag> HymnToLifeL why?
[02:41] <Coag> whay
[02:41] <Genfoo> NO F***ING WAY
[02:42] <Coag> where are you getting these facts?
[02:42] <biloyp> anyone know of an app to convert asf files to amother video format
[02:42] <Genfoo> you seriously must be joking
[02:42] <Coag> anyways, this is wayyyy off topix methinks
[02:42] <HymnToLife> I had two
[02:42] <ddonky> Installer36, heyjoe2 - if he uses it in Mac maybe it's fs isn't being recofnized by ubuntu?
[02:42] <Genfoo> bah
[02:42] <Genfoo> 3100+ ?
[02:42] <Genfoo> or old ones
[02:42] <Genfoo> how old?
[02:42] <HymnToLife> almost shot myself when I did some benchs on it
[02:42] <Coag> I love my sempron
[02:42] <Genfoo> the old ones were terrible
[02:42] <Mystery47_Newbie> Genfoo.....that script thing.....where i must put those scripts that those work well?
[02:42] <Coag> of course before this I had a Duron
[02:42] <Genfoo> because they were repackaged athlons
[02:42] <HymnToLife> well those were almost two years ago
[02:42] <Genfoo> Mystery47_Newbie, ???
[02:42] <HymnToLife> so I guess it was the old ones :p
[02:42] <Genfoo> yeah
[02:43] <Genfoo> shitty athlons without cache
[02:43] <Genfoo> EEW
[02:43] <Coag> I think I have a 256k cache
[02:43] <Coag> on a 1.6 ghz proc
[02:43] <Genfoo> I have a athlon 32 2800+ laptop with 512Kb cache and it sucks
[02:43] <Mystery47_Newbie> i just made script.....but i just get this error: bash: command not found...
[02:43] <HymnToLife> my laptop is Celeron 2,8
[02:43] <HymnToLife> 128KK cacke XD
[02:43] <Genfoo> so I can't imagine a cacheless athlon
[02:43] <Genfoo> xD
[02:43] <zenbum> what's the best graphical irc client?  xchat-gnome sucks..... xchat-gtk is better
[02:43] <Mystery47_Newbie> .....so are my script in wrong place?
[02:43] <Genfoo> zenbum, mhmm
[02:43] <heyjoe2> ddonky: can u recommend anything
[02:43] <Genfoo> zenbum, I use xchat
[02:43] <Coag> zenbum: urk.sf.net
[02:43] <bigfoot1> !deb
[02:43] <ubotu> To install a .deb file: sudo dpkg -i filename.deb  (but note that the program you want might be installable using !apt from the !repos)
[02:44] <Coag> http://urk.sf.net
[02:44] <lampshade> xchat is pretty good.  I still like windows's mIRC best though.
[02:44] <heyjoe2> ddonky: do u think i should just take it into a computer store?
[02:44] <Genfoo> Mystery47_Newbie, no
[02:44] <MadPirateBippy> Hey guys, I'm really stuck here. I'm in a blue-config screen, how do I get another terminal/session open?
[02:44] <HymnToLife> lampshade> mIRC runs perfectly through WINE
[02:44] <Genfoo> HymnToLife, my sempron kicks serious arse
[02:44] <Mystery47_Newbie> so? how my computer see that script...?
[02:44] <Coag> HymnToLife: define perfectly?
[02:44] <Genfoo> HymnToLife, its much better than a pentium 4 even
[02:44] <Genfoo> I can safely say
[02:45] <HymnToLife> Coag> as well as it does on Windows :D
[02:45] <Coag> Script Editor is broken, /help is broken,
[02:45] <Genfoo> anyways,
[02:45] <Mystery47_Newbie> i just made script named mountfs.....mounting ntfs harddrive..
[02:45] <Coag> theres more
[02:45] <Genfoo> its a good deal :)
[02:45] <Coag> lucky Genfoo
[02:45] <zenbum> Coag: I knew someone would tell me about a cool client I'd never heard of....  thanks  :)
[02:45] <Coag> I'm about to pay more than that PSP
[02:45] <Installer36> Heyjoe2 are u using KDE or Gnome
[02:45] <ddonky> MadPirateBippy - alt+F2 will open another terminal, but i'm not real sure how to get back, maybe alt+F7
[02:45] <Coag> zenbum: I know the Devs :P
[02:45] <Coag> I'm supposed to push it
[02:45] <HymnToLife> Genfoo> I gave up on cheap CPUs since I bought my Celeron laptop

[02:46] <Genfoo> HymnToLife, get a budget AMD
[02:46] <Coag> BIDOO: hoary?
[02:46] <NegativeSpace> I try to create a new Jave project in Eclipse and get "Wizard could not start ... unable to load class" errors. Any ideas why?
[02:46] <BIDOO> ubuntu is failing hard
[02:46] <BIDOO> yeah
[02:46] <Genfoo> you will not be regretful
[02:46] <BIDOO> Coagyeah
[02:46] <Coag> you sure it's ubuntu and not a user error?
[02:46] <BIDOO> yes.
[02:46] <HymnToLife> I'm horribly short on cash atm
[02:46] <HymnToLife> can't afford a new one
[02:46] <Genfoo> I don't like anything intel whatsoever anymore
[02:46] <Genfoo> HymnToLife, a $50 AMD?
[02:46] <heyjoe2> ddonky, Installer36: im using gnome
[02:46] <xanavim> nah, it's cheaper to buy multiple desktop PC's and use the laptop as a thin client
[02:46] <BIDOO> the kernel/drivers are not good enough for my sata drives
[02:46] <Coag> someone should crack the PSP and get linux running on it
[02:46] <Genfoo> HymnToLife, or less

[02:47] <heyjoe2> ddonky: the computer

[02:47] <BIDOO> sata drive plugs directly in
[02:47] <HymnToLife> my celeron is driving me nuts
[02:47] <BIDOO> i have to use third party drivers in windows too, ,,, , ,,, ,, ,,,
[02:47] <Genfoo> HymnToLife, I will never buy laptops again
[02:47] <xanavim> then you can just upgrade the motherboard/chip on the desktop pc's and save tons of cash
[02:47] <Coag> BIDOO: try dapper

[02:49] <Genfoo> cause turions use SO little power its ridiculous
[02:50] <nickrud> heyjoe2, you can, if you figure that stuff out, control exactly which usb device is mounted where, and when
[02:50] <SpookyET> hi
[02:50] <Coag> jonolson: someone needs to 'hack' the PSP to let linux be installed on it
[02:50] <Genfoo> wb, ubuntulog
[02:50] <Genfoo> er
[02:50] <Genfoo> ubuntu
[02:50] <Genfoo> :)
[02:50] <Genfoo> I hope linux will someday run on the PSP
[02:51] <we2by> how do I install Ubuntu via net install??
[02:51] <cold> hey ubuntu detects a printer on a usb and has a driver etc, but every time I try to print the printer isn't reacting
[02:51] <MadPirateBippy> Uhhhh...guys, I'm setting this stuff up, and I have to choose between a two and a three button mouse...and I have a puck moust.
[02:51] <starscalling> hey
[02:51] <MadPirateBippy> What do I do? Any suggestions?
[02:51] <starscalling> anyone got a upgrade link from breezy to dapper?
[02:51] <NegativeSpace> Okay I've downloaded the latest Java SDK: I try and compile a file in ScITE and it tells me: "sh: javac command not found"
[02:51] <NegativeSpace> SciTE*
[02:51] <starscalling> or can i just change sources or somethiung?
[02:51] <we2by> how do I install Ubuntu via net install??
[02:52] <starscalling> *something
[02:52] <nickrud> we2by, it's not really supported, but some people claim to have done it. google for debootstrap, netinstall, ubuntu, those type of things
[02:52] <gleesond> I have no idea where to start for this question... I have a usb device that is used for puting digital audio on to my MD player... I can see the device when I lsusb but I don't know how to get the audio stream to go to the dicice
[02:52] <Coag> starscalling: from experience
[02:52] <Coag> upgrading does not work, or didn't work for me
[02:52] <V4Vendetta> MadPirateBippy~ 3 button
[02:52] <Coag> I'd reccomend backing up the home drives, wiping and reinstalling dapper
[02:52] <SpookyET> How do you change the priority of a procedss?
[02:52] <gleesond> s/dicice/device
[02:52] <Genfoo> we2by, its not worth it
[02:53] <we2by> ok
[02:53] <nickrud> MadPirateBippy, puck moust?
[02:53] <polpak> SpookyET, man nice
[02:53] <starscalling> no ned to backup home folder

[02:53] <Coag> V4Vendetta: I have to ask, is it any good?
[02:53] <starscalling> of course i use seperate partitions >_>
[02:53] <Genfoo> -_-
[02:53] <V4Vendetta> Coag~ ?
[02:53] <SpookyET> i could have never guessed that in a million years
[02:53] <SpookyET> I love Monad.   Everything can be guessed.
[02:53] <Genfoo> lol
[02:54] <nickrud> guessed by those in the know
[02:54] <Coag> V4Vendetta: the movie :P
[02:54] <SpookyET> verb-noun
[02:54] <MadPirateBippy> puck mouse, sorry
[02:54] <SpookyET> get-process  is ps
[02:54] <V4Vendetta> Coag~ it's not out till next friday
[02:55] <nickrud> MadPirateBippy, if it's a two button, choose two button and 'emulate 3 button' (thats pressing both at the same time) if it's a mac, I have no clue
[02:55] <Coag> oh ok
[02:55] <NegativeSpace> Okay I've downloaded the latest Java SDK: I try and compile a file in SciTE and it tells me: "sh: javac command not found"
[02:55] <V4Vendetta> !java
[02:55] <ubotu> To install Java/Sun Java see Java on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats and also see !javadebs

[02:55] <we2by> what gcc version does ubuntu use?
[02:55] <Installer36> heyjoe2 same problem you have

[02:55] <Coag> we2by: none by default
[02:55] <johnno> hey guys i need some help
[02:55] <johnno> please
[02:55] <V4Vendetta> johnno~ ask the q
[02:56] <Coag> johnno: we can't help if you don't ask
[02:56] <nickrud> NegativeSpace, cd to the dir you downloaded the sdk to, then: sudo aptitude install java-package && make-jpkg <package downloaded && dpkg -i sun*deb
[02:56] <johnno> I try to join #remote-exploit and it says i need to be identified, I registered last night but i forgot my password
[02:56] <Coag> lol
[02:56] <johnno> i didn't register an email with it
[02:56] <Coag> what does that have to do with #ubuntu
[02:56] <MadPirateBippy> Okay, new screen, new question: what resolutions/video modes should I pick?
[02:56] <MadPirateBippy> How can I find out which one I need?
[02:56] <nickrud> NegativeSpace, I had that as a substitute in xchat, and screwed it up. correct line follows:
[02:56] <Coag> maddler: whichever you like best
[02:57] <johnno> well there are heaps of people in here and i thought you'd be nice enough to help
[02:57] <Coag> ask in #freenode or something
[02:57] <johnno> ok thankyou
[02:57] <SpookyET> what are priority numbers?
[02:57] <nickrud> sudo aptitude install java-package ; fakeroot make-jpkg <package you downloaded> ; sudo dpkg -i sun*deb
[02:57] <SpookyET> renice <number> -p <pid>
[02:57] <NegativeSpace> nickrud Thanks dude.
[02:58] <ddonky> MadPirateBippy - do you have the manual for the monitor? it will list all the modes and stuff
[02:58] <MadPirateBippy> Nope.
[02:58] <nickrud> NegativeSpace, it is freaking simple, some wise dudes made it so for us
[02:58] <heyjoe2> installer36: thanks
[02:58] <MadPirateBippy> I got an old monitor and computer for free, so I got jack.
[02:58] <MadPirateBippy> But, it's free, so I can't really gripe.
[02:59] <Installer36> heyjoe2 does that make any sense to you
[02:59] <NegativeSpace> nickrud I'm exceptionally stupid, so things that are freaking simple for me... aren't.
[02:59] <nickrud> NegativeSpace, after you do the dpkg -i , then sudo update-alternatives --config java , and select the sun one
[02:59] <Installer36> Me too
[02:59] <heyjoe2> installer36: just reading it now
[02:59] <V4Vendetta> java version "1.5.0_05"
[03:00] <V4Vendetta> works the best on ubuntu so far.
[03:00] <nickrud> MadPirateBippy, the best way to know is to google your monitor, and get the exact horizsync & vertrefresh
[03:00] <MadPirateBippy> nick: I'm having a hard time with that.
[03:00] <MadPirateBippy> I have a 17 inch Apple Studio Display
[03:00] <heyjoe2> installer36: im at a loss to understand it
[03:00] <nickrud> MadPirateBippy, I've had fair luck googling various numbers on the back
[03:00] <heyjoe2> installer36: anyway, gotta go to work
[03:00] <MadPirateBippy> which seems to be the name of a good dozen monitors, all of which are newer than mine.
[03:00] <heyjoe2> maybe later someone can help me?
[03:00] <Alos> hi again, in posible to have all the permissions on unbuntu
[03:00] <MadPirateBippy> I'll give that a go, thx
[03:01] <nickrud> MadPirateBippy, that's gotta be available on apple.com somewhere
[03:01] <Installer36> heyjoe 2> it is what ddonky was talking about
[03:01] <zoexii> hey, howdy, hellow... what is an easy way to create a .iso cd image file from an actual CD??   I cannot find options in k3b or gnomebaker.   Is there a simple command line?
[03:01] <V4Vendetta> since dapper is so close to coming out can i upgrade now?
[03:01] <Hobbsee> zoexii: in k3b, it's called an image
[03:01] <ddonky> Installer36 - did he get it to work
[03:01] <nickrud> NegativeSpace, probably more ignorant.  No but I gave him a addy to what you were talking about...step by step..with Mac
[03:04] <zoexii> Hobbsee, right, but I believe that it is the opposite of what I want to do.  I want to start with a CD and end with an image, not start with an image and end with a CD...
[03:04] <eletido> Ohm, its an option in your account settings
[03:04] <HymnToLife> Ohm> drop the caps please
[03:04] <Hobbsee> zoexii: as in, copy the cd, into an image file?
[03:04] <zoexii> Hobbsee, yes, that is exactly what I want to do.
[03:05] <eletido> Ohm, tools, account, modify one of your accounts or create a new one. then there is an option to open buddy icon.
[03:05] <jonolson> Ohm, Look in the "accounts" button, and click on the account and hit edit.  It's there ;)
[03:05] <Hobbsee> zoexii: i'm guessing you'll have to copy the cd to your hard drive, then burn to an image
[03:05] <moonlite> when playing games often find myself not being able to press all the buttons i want to simultaneously (ie go left, run and jump at the same time). Is this a problem with my keyboard or in software?
[03:05] <V4Vendetta> upgrading to dapper, *prays*
[03:05] <Ohm> I will try it
[03:05] <NegativeSpace> nickrud Well, either way, I may be testing your theory: what's fakeroot?
[03:05] <zoexii> Hobbsee, yeah, so I need to know how to copy it to my harddrive.
[03:05] <ddonky> Ohm - run gaim and then ctrl+A to open accounts, then click modify on each account, it's in there, the option to upload a pic
[03:06] <Hobbsee> zoexii: using konq/nautilus?
[03:06] <Hobbsee> zoexii: i havent found a quicker way than that, if it's a data cd
[03:07] <ruzgar> i have a fat32 partition i can write it with root user but i cant give write permission from gnome gui is there a command for that
[03:07] <zoexii> Hobbsee, Nautilus probably,  I don't want to simply copy the folders though, I want to create a .iso file... an exact duplicate
[03:07] <ruzgar> my part. name is hda3
[03:07] <esli_> alguem ae fala portugs???
[03:07] <V4Vendetta> !po
[03:07] <ubotu> V4Vendetta: What? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[03:07] <esli_> sou do brasil.. alguem a ???
[03:07] <mitch_> ops
[03:08] <Hobbsee> zoexii: what file type is on the cd now?  you'd create the ISO from the folders on your hard drive
[03:08] <nickrud> NegativeSpace, packages must be installed by root (who you are, temporarily, while you use sudo), and expect to be made by root
[03:08] <ruzgar> is there a guide for learning permisson
[03:08] <esli_> to saindo...
[03:08] <zoexii> Hobbsee, wow, right click in Nautilus... haha am I dumb.  That was way easier than I was expecting it to be....
[03:08] <nickrud> NegativeSpace, but, sometimes you need to fake out the package builders, so some developers made fakeroot, so it's easy for us casual users.
[03:09] <moonlite> esli_: #ubuntu-br?
[03:09] <NegativeSpace> nickrud Konsole didn't like that one bit, and said the command doesn't exist. Egad!
[03:09] <nickrud> NegativeSpace, in the particular case of java, the java install provided by sun writes directly to /etc, which is a bad thing.
[03:10] <Hobbsee> zoexii: hehe.  i dont use nautilus anyway, so i wouldnt konw
[03:10] <nickrud> NegativeSpace, fakeroot intercepts those writes, and <somehow, this is where the dev's made it easy>
[03:10] <nickrud> encapsulates them in the deb that make-jpkg creates.
[03:10] <nickrud> NegativeSpace, which you install with sudo
[03:14] <nickrud> NegativeSpace, which command ;)
[03:15] <Makura> Why is it that my first attempt at booting up Ubuntu always ends up with an error/kernel panic/freeze, but my second attempt always works?  I thought it was a coincidence at first, but now it's getting annoying.  The errors are always different too.
[03:15] <psusi> Makura, bad hardware?
[03:15] <NegativeSpace> nickrud It didn't like fakeroot, so I ignored that step. Everything carried on fine. I tried SciTE again and it still falls over when trying to compile. Boo.
[03:15] <Makura> psusi: How would I find out?
