[12:01] <maluk> hi im a noobie and im trying to get my conexant modem working in 64bit dapper. Can someone help me?
[12:01] <jjohn> hi all
[12:01] <nn> skavenge: I'd pop in my smart card and just type in my username i wanted and if it was the first time since i inserted the card, it'd ask my pin #, else it'd log me right in
[12:01] <Moocasso> micahcowan:  Okay, I think I lied, I can't get my MX1000 working at all now :P  I'll work on getting that working first I guess
[12:01] <micahcowan> phaedrus: afaict, what they actually want to be sure you can do is make connections on the internet. If you can make connections /to/ other machines from the one you're at, you should be golden.
[12:02] <fr500> johnny_: did you select ssh? remove the folder name it doesnt care
[12:02] <goatmale> how do i uninstall something in terminal?
[12:02] <stabby-> Hey someone running ubuntu could do me a favor and run:::: apt-cache show xorg-driver-fglrx      and after that tell me the version it displays
[12:02] <johnny_> yes fr500
[12:02] <skavenge> goatmale: sudo apt-get remove packagename
[12:02] <goatmale> thanks
[12:02] <shamrock_uk> @charlesjacobs - can you give us your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file please?
[12:02] <goatmale> apt get uninstall was my guess
[12:02] <goatmale> I was wrong..
[12:03] <charlesJacobs> shamrock_uk: yeah give me a second to upload it. is there a specific part you want to see?
[12:03] <johnny_> alright i got it fr500
[12:03] <fr500> johnny_: worked?
[12:03] <johnny_> yea
[12:03] <shamrock_uk> @charles - you can just paste it as a private message if its easier
[12:03] <fr500> johnny_: ok, magic words?

[12:04] <CappO> can anyone please help me with ndiswrapper, i have installed it via synaptic, loaded the windows driver, but when i try to do modprobe ndiswrapper, i get operation not permitted, what must i do now ?
[12:04] <shamrock_uk> and yes, have a look under Section "Module" and see if 'glx' is commented out or not
[12:04] <fr500> CappO: run it with sudo
[12:04] <skavenge> CappO: try sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[12:04] <Leonox> hi
[12:05] <skavenge> CappO: and enter your user password when it asks
[12:05] <shamrock_uk> @Bensr20:   sudo apt-get install alien       then do     sudo alien xxxxx.rpm   to install it automagically
[12:05] <CappO> tried that guys, working in a root terminal
[12:05] <Bensr20> thanks
[12:05] <Flannel> Bensr20: are you sure you can only find an rpm of the package?
[12:05] <fr500> Cappo no way
[12:05] <goatmale> can some one who uses wine PM me?
[12:05] <skavenge> you dont want to be installing rpm
[12:05] <shamrock_uk> @Ben - no worries, but be aware that it's not ideal, look for .debs if possible

[12:06] <CappO> i'll close this terminal and retry
[12:06] <Mnabil> !xgl
[12:06] <Flannel> Bensr20: you don't need a rpm of limewire, it's in the repositories

[12:06] <stabby-> Hey someone running ubuntu could do me a favor and run:::: apt-cache show xorg-driver-fglrx      and after that tell me the version it displays
[12:06] <gatekeeper> jjohn: have you got libdvdread3 installed?
[12:06] <Flannel> !tel Bensr20 about limewire
[12:06] <ubotu> I know nothing about tel Bensr20 about limewire - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:06] <gnomefreak> Flannel: no it isnt
[12:06] <shamrock_uk> charles, don't post here please :) either PM or use pastbin if that's ok
[12:06] <skavenge> Bensr20: you need a limewire .deb, which they have
[12:06] <goatmale> can some one who uses WINE private message me?
[12:06] <tuxtux> !fgl
[12:06] <ubotu> I know nothing about fgl - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:06] <gnomefreak> Flannel: its a shell script though
[12:06] <skavenge> Flannel: uh since when is it in the repos?
[12:06] <skavenge> !info limewire
[12:06] <tuxtux> !fglrx
[12:06] <ubotu> Package limewire does not exist in dapper
[12:06] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:06] <gnomefreak> !limewire
[12:06] <goatmale> use
[12:06] <ubotu> limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install !java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider !FrostWire as an alternative.
[12:07] <Flannel> eh, sorry, been a long day.
[12:07] <shamrock_uk> @slew  Ctrl+Alt+F1    then log in.   then   sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop    then  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:07] <goatmale>  Use  Frostwire
[12:07] <goatmale> its a lime wire clone
[12:07] <CappO> it says FATAL: error inserting ndiswrapper (path) operation not permitted
[12:07] <skavenge> Bensr20: frostwire is the same thing and free, and has an ubuntu .deb right on www.frostwire.org
[12:07] <stabby-> Hey someone running ubuntu could do me a favor and run:::: apt-cache show xorg-driver-fglrx      and after that tell me the version it displays
[12:07] <goatmale> and it installs nicely with automatix
[12:07] <micahcowan> phaedrus44, did you see my answer?
[12:07] <Bensr20> ok thanks everyone I will try frostwire
[12:07] <gnomefreak> skavenge: only problem with that is its build for dos lol
[12:07] <Mnabil> !java
[12:07] <ubotu> java is an object oriented programming language. To install a java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java For the runtime Sun Java install sun-java5-jre from the Multiverse repository
[12:07] <Leonox> I need some help with xmodmap, I have a laptop with us keyboard, but I speak spanish so I need the dead_diaeresis, I'm trying something like this xmodmap -e 'keysym u = u U dead_diaeresis' and I have the windows key and the Alt_L like AltGr, but it doesn't work :(
[12:08] <skavenge> gnomefreak: hah is it? i had no idea .. thats java for you
[12:08] <CappO> fr500, what am i doing wrong ?
[12:08] <slew> shamrock_uk: thanks
[12:08] <pygi> lilo: poke?

[12:08] <fr500> CappO: not sure, it has to work that way
[12:08] <maluk> hi im a noobie and im trying to get my conexant modem working in 64bit dapper. Can someone help me?
[12:08] <cedric_> someone have an asus a6t  laptop ?
[12:08] <gnomefreak> skavenge: the page tells you if you get this error " bleh" use dos2nix or whatever that tool os called
[12:08] <Moocasso> Okay, very quick question.  Is there something in Linux similar to autoexec.bat in Windows?
[12:09] <skavenge> gnomefreak: wierd, never had an issue with it personally
[12:09] <cedric_> what is autoexec.bat ?
[12:09] <goatmale> Can anyone who uses wine message
[12:09] <Mnabil> !FrostWire
[12:09] <ubotu> frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.  For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[12:09] <goatmale> me
[12:09] <Enverex> Are there any massive changes from Dapper to Edgy?
[12:09] <gnomefreak> cedric_: a windows file
[12:09] <Moocasso> automatically runs commands when you start the computer
[12:09] <shamrock_uk> it's a batch file that used to run dos commands back in the old days on startup
[12:09] <cedric_> what does it do ?
[12:09] <skavenge> Enverex: we'll know when edgy comes out
[12:09] <Enverex> goatmale, What do you need?
[12:09] <jjohn> gatekeeper did you get my reply
[12:09] <gnomefreak> Enverex: other than things breaking no
[12:09] <Leonox> xmodmap help...
[12:09] <Moocasso> I found a command that lets my mouse work fine, I want it to run every time I start the computer 'cause I"m lazy :P
[12:09] <micahcowan> Moocasso: something that automatically runs? sure. There is a system of what are known as "rc-scripts" (rc=runcommand).
[12:10] <gatekeeper> jjohn: no what was it?
[12:10] <cedric_> you can use rc files
[12:10] <micahcowan> Moocasso: but if it's related to your mouse, you probably actually want to put it in a script that automatically starts when X does.
[12:10] <micahcowan> !x
[12:10] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type this in a console: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  -  To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[12:10] <wildman> hello
[12:10] <Leonox> help with xmodmap
[12:10] <cedric_> Moocasso : use rc file or your specific austart file (kde/go=nome)
[12:10] <jackson> I just updated me nvidia-glx drivers and now my glx is broken! glxinfo returns "Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0"." on a few lines. /var/log/Xorg.0.log: http://pastebin.com/754398 /etc/X11/xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/754426
[12:10] <micahcowan> Moocasso: what's the command.
[12:10] <wildman> where can I change the icon for a given MIME type?
[12:10] <Moocasso> xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 10 11 6 7"
[12:11] <tritium> jackson: a few others have been reporting that
[12:11] <goatmale> can anyone who uses WINE mind helping me with something simple?
[12:11] <cedric_> so I have acpi issues on a asus A6T laptop (amd64) ... someone know good link ?
[12:11] <jjohn> Gatekeeper I not sure about the file you named I did a gui install then aded the updates after the dvd would not play but still no go
[12:11] <Enverex> goatmale, What do you need?
[12:11] <micahcowan> You want that in your x file, definitely. It wouldn't work in an init-rc file: it has to run in an X session.
[12:11] <fr500> goatmale: ask and hope
[12:11] <goatmale> I messed up my cfg
[12:11] <johnny_> fr500, one last question
[12:11] <goatmale> and I need to copy someoes
[12:11] <fr500> johnny_: just ask
[12:11] <FunnyLookinHat> Anyone here that uses Akamaru?  I got it work just have a few config questions...
[12:12] <johnny_> where does the shared folder get saved?
[12:12] <johnny_> is it in mnt/?
[12:12] <fr500> goatmale: isn it easier to restore to default
[12:12] <Moocasso> Okay...any advice for how I go about putting it in my x file?  :)  Just open X in a text editor or something?
[12:12] <Enverex> goatmale, The new versions of WINE don't use config files, so you need to update anyway
[12:12] <johnny_> or where?
[12:12] <fr500> johnny_: no, where you paste it
[12:12] <goatmale> I messed it up
[12:12] <cedric_> FunnyLookinHat : i use it
[12:12] <jackson> tritium: do you know how to fix it?
[12:12] <goatmale> and I reinstalled it
[12:12] <johnny_> well its on my desktop
[12:12] <cedric_> but go to #amarok
[12:12] <tritium> jackson: not yet.
[12:12] <micahcowan> Moocasso: Easiest way, is probably to add it to a new file in your home directory, name it .xsession
[12:12] <johnny_> but when i cd to Desktop i dont see it on the command line
[12:12] <Moocasso> Okay, perfect :)
[12:12] <micahcowan> Then restart your X server (or start it up, if you're doing it with startx).
[12:12] <FunnyLookinHat> cedric_, How do I add/remove icons to my launch bar?  And how can I set it to start when I load up X automatically?  (Adding it to .Xsession froze X)
[12:13] <MehAdult> How do I set up NTP?
[12:13] <johnny_> oh i'm dumb
[12:13] <cedric_> are you udsing gnome or kde ?
[12:13] <johnny_> i'm ssh'd
[12:13] <MehAdult> !ntp
[12:13] <ubotu> I know nothing about ntp - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:13] <johnny_> lol
[12:13] <skavenge> what is amakaru anyway?
[12:13] <MehAdult> :|
[12:13] <micahcowan> FunnyLookinHat: add a & after the command?
[12:13] <johnny_> thanks for your help again fr500
[12:13] <johnny_> i could kiss you
[12:13] <micahcowan> in your .Xsession
[12:13] <johnny_> later
[12:13] <FunnyLookinHat> skarface, OS X launcher bar for AIGLX/XGL
[12:13] <skavenge> ah okay
[12:13] <goatmale> Enverex can you check your pms?
[12:14] <FunnyLookinHat> micahcowan, ooh yea forgot about &.  but still lost about how to add/remove icons...  : (
[12:14] <wildman> MehAdult, right click on the clock applet
[12:14] <wildman> MehAdult, Set time&date (enter password)
[12:14] <Enverex> goatmale, You're not registered so you're not really sending any
[12:14] <goatmale> meh.
[12:14] <indigoblu> has anybody used gnome-vfs (mounting remote SSH) with Rythmbox on Dapper... ???
[12:14] <goatmale> how do I update WINE?
[12:14] <wildman> MehAdult, check the 'sync time with Internet servers', select server, accept, dun
[12:14] <Enverex> goatmale, Follow the instructions on this page to get the latest version - http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb
[12:14] <goatmale> I did apt get
[12:14] <Enverex> You have to add a custom repo
[12:14] <micahcowan> FunnyLookinHat: usually you can right-click 'em... you're talking about the gnome-panel?
[12:14] <tsume> non-registered pm's > /dev/null
[12:14] <wildman> MehAdult, if NTP is not installed, you'll be asked to install it
[12:14] <TheUni> i installed ubuntu then windows (backwards.. i know). If i reinstall GRUB from the ubuntu boot cd, will it detect my windows partition and allow me to boot to it?
[12:14] <goatmale> repo?
[12:14] <fr500> goatmale apt-get remove --purge wine
[12:15] <jjohn> msg/ gatekeeper   hello
[12:15] <FunnyLookinHat> micahcowan, no, talking about akamaru panel.  right clicking apparently launches as well   :-/
[12:15] <Leonox> xmodmap help
[12:15] <Enverex> goatmale, Just do what that page says
[12:15] <fr500> indigoblu: it should work just fine
[12:15] <profoX`> TheUni: normally it will, and if it doesn't, you can add the necessary information yourself to menu.lst
[12:15] <wildman> TheUni, maybe not, but fixing Grub to boot Windows shouldn't be hard...
[12:15] <shamrock_uk> @TheUni - yes, if you alter the contents of /boot/grub/menu.1st to include your WinXP install
[12:15] <MehAdult> wildman: I don't have a clock applet
[12:15] <Leonox> I need some help with xmodmap, I have a laptop with us keyboard, but I speak spanish so I need the dead_diaeresis, I'm trying something like this xmodmap -e 'keysym u = u U dead_diaeresis' and I have the windows key and the Alt_L like AltGr, but it doesn't work
[12:15] <MehAdult> wildman: I'm in E17 not Gnome or KDE
[12:15] <wildman> MehAdult, oh
[12:15] <wildman> dunno then :)
[12:15] <goatmale> i unistalled it fr500
[12:15] <wildman> sorry MehAdult
[12:15] <goatmale> now what?
[12:16] <fr500> goatmale:  with purge?
[12:16] <TheUni> shamrock_uk: it's Vista :\ From what i understand the booting is different. think it will still pick it up?
[12:16] <goatmale> yes
[12:16] <Leonox> :(
[12:16] <shamrock_uk> Ah, haven't a clue. But good luck ;)
[12:16] <profoX`> TheUni: I think normally it will find windows automatically, if it doesn't, please let me know ;) it's not hard to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst anyway, I can help you with that if you give me the contents of "sudo fdisk -l"
[12:16] <imme> anyone here who know about xmodmap command, what it does?
[12:16] <goatmale> no sudo apt-get install wine?
[12:16] <imme> And/OR about the Shft+backspace bug?
[12:16] <Enverex> goatmale, If you're talking to me, put my name before what you say
[12:16] <fr500> indigoblu: works fine
[12:16] <goatmale> fr500: now sudo apt-get install wine?
[12:16] <indigoblu> fr500, well I have gstreamer plugins and Mp3 works fine, but playback works in Totem and not Rythmbox
[12:16] <fr500> here
[12:16] <profoX`> TheUni: yes i think it doesnt matter, because you generally use chainloader +1
[12:16] <wildman> where can I change the icon for a given MIME type?
[12:17] <Enverex> The version of WINE in Synaptic/Apt-Get is OLD, DO NOT USE IT
[12:17] <Leonox> wel xmodmap modifies the keyboard mapping
[12:17] <Enverex> It's like half a year old
[12:17] <imme> Leonox: okay.
[12:17] <profoX`> TheUni: but i have no experience with vista.. (because vista sucks and it messed up my test pc :))
[12:17] <indigoblu> fr500, do I need any additional gnomevfs or gstreamer packages?
[12:17] <micahcowan> FunnyLookinHat: meant to look like OSX, I guess?
[12:17] <TheUni> k, reinsstalling grub i guess
[12:17] <TheUni> profoX`: heh.. i'm a repair tech. Just running vista to test it so i can fix it when i start to get calls  :)
[12:18] <Leonox> I allredy have a problem with xmodmap
[12:18] <TheUni> not 1 crash in 2 weeks though, btw
[12:18] <indigoblu> fr500, restarted and it works great...  It's not by choice
[12:18] <micahcowan> http://people.freedesktop.org/~krh/akamaru.git/
[12:18] <Leonox> I need some help with xmodmap, I have a laptop with us keyboard, but I speak spanish so I need the dead_diaeresis, I'm trying something like this xmodmap -e 'keysym u = u U dead_diaeresis' and I have the windows key and the Alt_L like AltGr, but it doesn't work
[12:18] <TheUni> i've beta tested the last 3 or 4 windows OS's, just to get a feel for them before they come out so i can fix em
[12:18] <Enverex> Weird, why doesn't Mplayer have an icon or a theme in Ubuntu...
[12:19] <goatmale> still didnt work :(
[12:19] <FunnyLookinHat> micahcowan, i see that, can't see how to add tho
[12:19] <Moocasso> Okay, so I tried putting "xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 10 11 6 7"" in a .xsession file, and x wouldn't open up anymore
[12:19] <Enverex> goatmale, How did it "not work"? What "didn't work"?
[12:19] <profoX`> TheUni: no crash in 2 weeks? sounds like it's getting better.. beta 2 ?
[12:19] <goatmale> i am still getting errors with wine
[12:19] <shamrock_uk> @Enverex, have you install gmplayer? mplayer on its own isn't integrated with gnome
[12:19] <TheUni> profoX`: yup. And Office 2007 B2. Connecting to an exchange server and syncing my smartphone
[12:19] <profoX`> TheUni: do you have to solve linux problems sometimes ? lol
[12:19] <Enverex> shamrock_uk, I have the basic GUI, I'll check
[12:20] <TheUni> profoX`: not once. lol
[12:20] <profoX`> TheUni: :'(
[12:20] <goatmale> how do I register my nick>
[12:20] <micahcowan> FunnyLookinHat: probably gconftool-2, also? Might look at the other values in existence to see what they should look like...
[12:20] <shamrock_uk> if its a gui, it's not just mplayer :)
[12:20] <profoX`> TheUni: you like windows vista ?
[12:20] <Enverex> goatmale, Type "wine --version" in the console please and  paste the output here
[12:20] <TheUni> profoX`: but i'm running it for the same reason. Want to know as many os's as possible
[12:20] <profoX`> goatmale: /msg nickserv register password
[12:20] <goatmale> Wine 0.9.17
[12:20] <shamrock_uk> can you just add it with the menu editor?
[12:20] <FunnyLookinHat> micahcowan, ahh, i figured out how to add... but the remove doens't seem to work, haha. oh well I'll keep messing with it
[12:20] <Leonox> I need some help with xmodmap, I have a laptop with us keyboard, but I speak spanish so I need the dead_diaeresis, I'm trying something like this xmodmap -e 'keysym u = u U dead_diaeresis' and I have the windows key and the Alt_L like AltGr, but it doesn't work
[12:20] <fivre> if I kill apt-get via ctrl+z, how can I unlock /var/lib/dpkg/ ?
[12:21] <micahcowan> Moocasso: What does .xsession-errors say in it?
[12:21] <imme> fivre: you don't kill with Ctrl+z
[12:21] <Enverex> goatmale, If you don't have anything important installed in Wine, run this - "rm -r ~/.wine && wineprefixcreate"
[12:21] <fivre> so I see
[12:21] <shamrock_uk> @fivre - you haven't killed it, simply stopped it and sent it to the background.  issue   fg 1 to get it back
[12:21] <Leonox> :(
[12:21] <skavenge> fivre: ctrl+z is suspend
[12:21] <TheUni> profoX`: it's nothing to write home about. no major changes i can see. IE7 is decent, but still IE. i've ended up using firefox as default again. Only major change is the security system. It has a screen kinda like ubuntu every time you need to do something root-like. A nice change, but will be confusing for home users
[12:21] <profoX`> TheUni: just out of interest, because i haven't run windows in a while.. do you think vista is better than let's say, ubuntu ? and if yes, in what ways?
[12:21] <fivre> ah
[12:21] <fivre> ok
[12:21] <skavenge> !offtopic
[12:21] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[12:22] <Moocasso> er...is it too late for me to check that or is there a file somewhere for that?
[12:22] <goatmale> enverex can you see my PMs?
[12:22] <Enverex> goatmale, Yeah, sorry
[12:22] <Enverex> goatmale, If you don't have anything important installed in Wine, run this - "rm -r ~/.wine && wineprefixcreate" <
[12:22] <Leonox> I need some help with xmodmap, I have a laptop with us keyboard, but I speak spanish so I need the dead_diaeresis, I'm trying something like this xmodmap -e 'keysym u = u U dead_diaeresis' and I have the windows key and the Alt_L like AltGr, but it doesn't work
[12:22] <Moocasso> oh, found it
[12:22] <profoX`> TheUni: i know for a fact that everything new in vista is just ripped from os x, linux and even *bsd :) but i don't care, if they can make it work good..
[12:23] <TheUni> profoX`: that's not fair. Apples to Oranges. and you'd have to give me context. For me, connecting to an exchange server and syncing a smartphone are so complicated in ubuntu that they're not worth doing
[12:23] <david__> im trying to help my wife with creating a resume, does anyone know where i can download a template for openoffice?
[12:23] <Leonox> :( i'm getting mad...
[12:23] <TheUni> but for everyday use, i prefer linux.
[12:23] <Moocasso> just copy and paste micahcowan?
[12:23] <haary> I just read USN-308-1 (shadow vulnerability). Is debian also affected?
[12:23] <micahcowan> Moocasso: oh, but if you're running X now, it might not be for that session anymore.
[12:23] <Moocasso> oh, k
[12:23] <ringard> repost from last night... i'm having the same problems as detailed here (but on 6.06 SERVER edition): http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-4031.html <----- 2nd post: It has sat there for over an hour with the blue screen, a gray bar at the bottom, and one black rectangle in the far low left corner.
[12:23] <micahcowan> When it stopped working, did you remove that line and come back in?
[12:23] <Moocasso> yeah, I deleted the .xsession file and restarted
[12:23] <profoX`> TheUni: thats why i said, in what ways.. windows can be better for certain things, ubuntu for other things
[12:23] <david__> Ive loooked and all i find is links to other thinbgs
[12:23] <Zaff> Does anyone know of a wireless pci card that works well in 6.06 and is easy to set up?
[12:24] <lophyte> Zaff: I have a Ralink-based card that works excellently
[12:24] <goatmale> enverex?
[12:24] <shamrock_uk> @Zaff - anything with an atheros chipset works good
[12:24] <gizmo_the_great1> all of a sudden when I run glxgears it causes gnome to log me out. Any ideas?
[12:24] <Moocasso> I found a site that suggested a .bashrc would be useful in situations sorta similar to this, is there a reason that wouldn't work?
[12:25] <Enverex> goatmale, 1 sec
[12:25] <TheUni> profoX`: in general, it's more decent than i thought it would be. seems like the final version may actually be ok, even if it's not much different than xp. any particular question?
[12:25] <micahcowan> Moocasso: okay... I'm very surprised that it didn't work in the .xsession file. Try two things: change "xmodmap" in your .xsession command to "/usr/X11R6/bin/xmodmap", and if it fails again, make a copy of the .xsession-errors file before you come back up.
[12:25] <marcelino> where is the best place to store a shell script you have written to automate a task--in your home directory or under bin?
[12:25] <Moocasso> Okay, back in a few :)
[12:25] <micahcowan> Moocasso: .bashrc shouldn't be what you want: it runs whenever a shell does. Not all shells run in X, and X programs themselves don't run in shells (typically).
[12:26] <profoX`> TheUni: no, i tried to install it on a test pc, but it messed up my partitions without even starting the installation.. that was beta 2
[12:26] <shamrock_uk> I'd say your home directory, greater chance of you not deleting it between reinstalls
[12:26] <TheUni> hah.. yikes
[12:26] <profoX`> TheUni: guess i'll try it on another pc sometime
[12:26] <marcelino> thx
[12:26] <TheUni> home my other partition is still ok
[12:26] <TheUni> haven't tried to boot back to linux
[12:26] <TheUni> *hope
[12:26] <Leonox> micahcowan: could you help me with a problem that i have with xmodmap?
[12:26] <VR_> i just installed "console-terminus" and "xfonts-terminus" - i wanna use terminus in .Xdefaults for rxvt, but it isn't working. do i need to rebuild the font cache or something?
[12:27] <Rondom> marcelino: I put it in /usr/local/bin if I want it to be in the path and the scrpt can be used at any location. if it only converts the image in the a specific directory i put it in the dir somwhere in home
[12:27] <TheUni> profoX`: you be here for a minute? i'm gonna reinstall grub and come back here in ubuntu, might need help getting back to windows
[12:27] <Rondom> marcelino: this doens't answer your question, it's just the way I do it
[12:27] <marcelino> rondom thanks for the info
[12:27] <skavenge> VR_: you running kde, gnome?
[12:27] <micahcowan> Leonox: I'll be happy to try. :)
[12:28] <ubuntu_> Hi everybody, I have a probleml
[12:28] <profoX`> TheUni: yes i'll be here, you can also pm me if i don't respond, or just call my name
[12:28] <VR_> skavenge: gnome
[12:28] <TheUni> k
[12:28] <marcelino> rondom usr/local/bin sounds like a good idea because i don't like the idea of cluttering up my home directory
[12:28] <TheUni> bbiam
[12:28] <Zaff> k, after all of the searching i've done at this (i've been looking for about a week now), i know that the ralink and atheros chipsets are good
[12:28] <skavenge> VR_: why not just change it in 'system', 'preferred applications' then?
[12:28] <Zaff> but i cant tell which card will work the best
[12:28] <derekS> my courier-imap installation isn't working!
[12:28] <derekS> heh
[12:29] <ubuntu_> I installed windows after Ubuntu, then had to install grub
[12:29] <imme> micahcowan: I think Leonox fell asleep... :S :D
[12:29] <Rondom> marcelino: not you home-dir
[12:29] <VR_> skavenge: i'm trying to change the font for rxvt-unicode. i need to edit the .Xdefaults file to do that. i installed those two packages to get the terminus font, but it's not showing up in xfontsel
[12:29] <micahcowan> :)
[12:29] <goatmale> enverex
[12:29] <Leonox> micahcowan: well, I have a laptop with us keyboard...
[12:30] <goatmale> what do I do now?
[12:30] <Enverex> goatmale, well Wine should work now
[12:30] <goatmale> I think
[12:30] <goatmale> XD thanks
[12:30] <Rondom> marcelino: if I have a script that only works for a specific directory (usually a sub-direcotry in home) I put it in there, but not in ~/
[12:30] <skavenge> VR_: ah sorry, from the first question it sounded as if you were trying to replace rxvt with another terminal, my fault
[12:30] <ubuntu_> grub seems installed, however when I select the kernel to start, it gaves an error
[12:31] <Leonox> micahcowan: but I speak spanish, so I need characters like dead_tilde and dead_diaeresis
[12:31] <Enverex> goatmale, configuration is done with winecfg now
[12:31] <Zaff> theres no garentee that if a card works in breezy that it will work in dapper, right?
[12:31] <Corporal_Dirge> What does it mean when /media/ shows this:
[12:31] <Corporal_Dirge> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  567416697 2008-10-06 02:54 ,t??r???.?j@

[12:31] <imme> is hardwar-issues off-topic as well ?
[12:31] <gizmo_the_great1> all of a sudden when I run glxgears it causes gnome to log me out. Any ideas?
[12:31] <marcelino> how does mepis compare to ubuntu..
[12:31] <Enverex> Corporal_Dirge, That you borked it, heh
[12:31] <Corporal_Dirge> Plus a lot more
[12:32] <skavenge> VR_: fyi its alot easier to change the font in gnome-terminal, and it has most the capabilities as rxvt .. (backgrounds, transparency, etc)
[12:32] <Leonox> micahcowan: I was trying to do sometihnig like xmodmap -e 'keysym u = u U dead_diaeresis'
[12:32] <VR_> skavenge: i don't like gnome-terminal
[12:32] <VR_> :)
[12:33] <Leonox> micahcowan: and then I wanted to use the windows key like AltGr but it doesn't work :(
[12:33] <imme> How do I get to tty1, 2, 3 , 4 ,5 or 6? From gnome?
[12:33] <skavenge> imme: ctrl + alt + f1, f2 ,f3 whatever
[12:33] <skavenge> alt + ctrl + f7 to get back
[12:33] <imme> skavenge: Besides those, 'cause those won't work... :(
[12:34] <skavenge> i dont think you do then
[12:34] <imme> Hmmm that's a pain up the watch-my-language.
[12:34] <sto_> How can I save a .txt file in a terminator?
[12:35] <Rondom> sto_: nano if you want a gui
[12:35] <Bergcube> My WLAN card supports the 802.11a/b/g standards and speeds.  So does my access point.  How / where can I check the connection speed?
[12:35] <Rondom> sto_: echo 'bla' >> textfile and cat textfile if you want to do it without a gui
[12:36] <Rondom> Bergcube: type iwconfig
[12:36] <zukalk> does anyone know how to give the mic input a REAL boost? that damn Mic Boost (+20dB) won't help, or barely will
[12:36] <Rondom> Bergcube: in a terminal. are you using ubuntu or kubuntu?
[12:36] <Bergcube> Rondom~  Ah, perfect.  That it the nail straight on the head.
[12:36] <ProN00b> recently i am having problems with sound
[12:37] <micahcowan> Leonox: I'm not completely sure that's what you want. I'm no expert with xmodmap, but doesn't that remap the "u" key to add a diareses to it?
[12:37] <Bergcube> Rondom~  Ubuntu.  Tried Kubuntu earlier but ended up with gnome in the end.
[12:37] <ProN00b> when it plays in one program and i start playing from another program the other program is really quiet
[12:37] <imme> zukalk: clean your mic a bit... :P
[12:37] <Leonox> micahcowan:?
[12:37] <zukalk> imme: it's brand new!
[12:37] <zukalk> imme: bought it today
[12:37] <Rondom> Bergcube: don't know a gui-tool for gnome, maybe with edgy.....
[12:37] <imme> zukalk: ah okay... Then you don't...
[12:38] <Rondom> Bergcube: there is one for kde, but I doubt anyone wants to install all those libs, because of the fact that he wants to see his connection speed
[12:38] <Bergcube> Rondom~  Don't need a GUI tool.  Not going to look at it that often.
[12:38] <Moocasso> Okay micahcowan, after much stupidity on my own part, I finally managed to copy the .xsession-errors file, and the last line of it says "/home/fnar/.xsession: line 1: /usr/X11R6/bin/xmodmap: No such file or directory"
[12:38] <Rondom> Bergcube: same for me
[12:39] <micahcowan> Moocasso: type "which xmodmap" into a terminal and tell me what it says.
[12:39] <Moocasso>  /usr/bin/xmodmap
[12:39] <Moocasso> try that instead?
[12:39] <micahcowan> Doh! I actually broke it more.
[12:40] <Moocasso> LOL
[12:40] <micahcowan> Yeah.
[12:40] <Moocasso> Thanks for trying, back in a few :)
[12:40] <Bergcube> Rondom~  In the terminal / GUI "war" my view is to use the GUI where that is fastest or easiest, use the terminal where that is...
[12:41] <Rondom> Bergcube: same for me. if you know how to use the terminal you can work more efficiently. sme goes for the gui, of course :roll:
[12:42] <karl> anyone have an idea why apps might not be using my .asoundrc file when i open them?
[12:42] <Bergcube> :-)
[12:42] <valehru> Anyone know of a reason why my keyboard will only allow lowercase 'q' to appear when I have CAPS on and press Shift + 'Q'.  Its the same problem with 2 keyboards....??
[12:42] <corran> any thoughts on how to fix manpages that have a number of bad characters?
[12:42] <valehru> Its a DELL USB Multimedia keyboard im using
[12:43] <Kyral> corran: file a bug :P
[12:43] <Zaff> have you tried it with a ps/2 keyboard?
[12:43] <corran> Kyral: ok then...
[12:43] <Moocasso> Okay micahcowan, NO errors I can see in the file now...
[12:43] <Xenguy> corran: that is most likely a terminal problem/issue
[12:43] <ProN00b> i am having problems with my sound, it seems that only one app can have sound concurrently
[12:43] <valehru> Yes...one was a PS2 and the other was USB....The exact same problem
[12:44] <valehru> Both keyboards work on a windows machine
[12:44] <micahcowan> Does X start up?
[12:44] <karl> anyone have an idea why apps might not be using my .asoundrc file when i open them?
[12:44] <valehru> yes
[12:44] <Moocasso> no
[12:44] <Moocasso> :P
[12:44] <corran> Xenguy: yeah, but why ($TERM = xterm)
[12:44] <Moocasso> if you meant me...
[12:44] <micahcowan> But that command works in a terminal?
[12:44] <Moocasso> yep
[12:44] <fiznut> whoa, gaim is weird for IRC
[12:44] <fiznut> used to mIRC
[12:44] <corran> Xenguy: and it happens on terms from the console to xterm, rxvt, Eterm...
[12:45] <Xenguy> corran: I have no idea - I get that sometimes myself, e.g. with aterm or rxvt, so I just use gnome-terminal instead ;-)
[12:45] <imme> What's the difference between xterm and gnome-terminal?
[12:45] <Master_Kale> I have a question regarding Automatix; any takers?
[12:45] <corran> Xenguy: IIRC, it happened there too.
[12:45] <Zaff> anyone want to recommend a specific 802.11g wireless pci card?  all of this hunting around for one on the net is getting old
[12:45] <Xenguy> corran: oh, I wouldn't have expected it on a virtual console
[12:45] <corran> Xenguy: can you check your ssh_config manpage
[12:45] <Xenguy> corran: for what?
[12:45] <marcelino> any benefits of Mepis over Ubuntu?
[12:45] <corran> for bogus characters
[12:46] <Moocasso> any more ideas?  Lol
[12:46] <skavenge> marcelino: ask in #mepis
[12:46] <gizmo_the_great1> why is automatix not being developed for Dapper?
[12:46] <corran> Xenguy: that is one of the ones I am haveing problems with, so I would love to know that this is (or is not) specific to me.
[12:46] <goatmale> eneverex
[12:46] <marcelino> thanks skavenge
[12:46] <goatmale> HALP PLX
[12:46] <skavenge> gizmo_the_great1: because it does as much harm as good? works flawlessy on some systems and completely destroys others
[12:47] <Xenguy> corran: gnome-terminal displays it fine (my $TERM is 'xterm' also)
[12:47] <micahcowan> Moocasso: what is the command again, and how are you testing starting X?
[12:47] <gizmo_the_great1> skavenge, i did not realise that. it worked quite well the bits I used it for in Breezy.
[12:47] <Enverex> goatmale, sorry, forgot to rereg
[12:47] <gizmo_the_great1> all of a sudden when I run glxgears it causes gnome to log me out. Any ideas?
[12:47] <skavenge> gizmo_the_great1: ppl are using it in dapper as well anyway
[12:48] <Moocasso>  /usr/bin/xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 10 11 6 7" and I"m using ctrl+alt+backspace to restart
[12:48] <maluk> i need help getting my modem to work in 64bit dapper. Can someone help me?
[12:48] <micahcowan> Moocasso: how are you examining .xsession-errors after a failed start?
[12:48] <Moocasso> using gedit
[12:49] <Moocasso> it fails to start so I go into the failsafe, do cp .xsession-errors x.errors, and I open it up with gedit afterwards
[12:49] <TobyK> I have a desktop computer that used to run Ubuntu exclusively. I've added a Serial ATA drive with windows already installed on it. It boots when the windows disk is the only one connected, but throws me a generic "disk error" when I try to boot through GRUB with the entry I added for it. Any ideas?
[12:49] <micahcowan> In another X session? At that point, you'll probably be looking at the wrong .xsession-errors. :-(
[12:50] <Moocasso> even if I go into the failsafe terminal and copy the file?
[12:50] <micahcowan> Moocasso: iirc, failsafe is still an X session, isn't it? You get a window with an X session?
[12:51] <Moocasso> well, it gives me the usual Ubuntu background with a terminal in the bottom right corner of the screen
[12:51] <gean> does any1 know, where the list of all installed packages is stored ?!
[12:52] <gean> [i need to REMOVE the old breezy and reinstall in Dapper, but will loose the list of ``needed'' pack's]
[12:52] <sorush20> !rpm2cpio
[12:52] <ubotu> I know nothing about rpm2cpio - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:53] <micahcowan> Moocasso: okay. Hm.... try it again (with the command in .xsession), but this time, don't log in on the graphical screen after it fails.
[12:53] <Moocasso> how do I get to a terminal then?
[12:54] <micahcowan> Moocasso: instead, hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 to go log into a real terminal, and copy your .xsession-errors file. hit Ctrl-Alt-F7 to get back to the graphical login (you should write that one down).
[12:54] <corran> gean: dpkg --get-selections
[12:54] <Moocasso> k
[12:54] <tuxtux> reboot
[12:54] <Moocasso> back in a few :)
[12:54] <redblades> Wow. I installed Xmms-alarm lastnight and it was so cool.
[12:54] <redblades> I got to wake up to my favourite song.
[12:55] <jonass> when booting kernel 2.6.15-26 (updated with autoupdate) my xgz/ compiz desktop is not working. but booting -23 it is
[12:55] <corran> gean: and /var/lib/aptitude/pkgstates
[12:55] <corran> gean: did you catch that?
[12:56] <corran> gean: you can restore it with dpkg --set-selections
[12:56] <jonass> when booting kernel 2.6.15-26 (updated with autoupdate) my xgz/ compiz desktop is not working. but booting -23 it is
[12:58] <Moocasso> still no errors in .xsession-errors, the file still seems to have no error message, says "/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default: Registering your session with wtmp and utmp/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default: running: /usr/bin/sessreg -a -w /var/log/wtmp -u /var/run/utmp -x "/var/lib/gdm/:0.Xservers" -h "" -l ":0" "fnar" /etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup..."
[12:59] <CappO> how can i upgrade from hoary to dapper , do i have to do a clean install or. ?
[01:00] <khoda> first time linux user here, have some problems installing - can someone help?
[01:00] <Moocasso> any ideas micahcowan?  :)
[01:00] <holycow> khoda, just ask
[01:00] <sloucher> what happened khoda? ask away
[01:01] <fiznut> I have an NTFS storage slave drive I want to access, but Ubuntu doesn't seem to want to read it. Anything I can do?
[01:01] <jareth_> CappO first update to breezy
[01:02] <khoda> installed it from server cd i burned. did "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" it went through and downloaded to 100%, then unpacked for awhile then the screen went black. I rebooted and it takes me to an ubuntu login screen. i login then it takes me to a splash logo for ubuntu and hangs there. the logo also looks messed up(like it doesnt have my gfx driver)
[01:02] <dj_baggio> fiznut: install ntfsprogs
[01:02] <micahcowan> Moocasso: okay, with the command in your .xsession file, run startx -- :1 from a terminal.
[01:02] <fiznut> dj_baggio: Ah! simple :) Thanks bro
[01:02] <CappO> jareth_, can i do this via internet or do i have to download the iso and then do the fresh install ?
[01:03] <jareth_> CappO via internet will be fine
[01:03] <jareth_> CappO 1st change all "hoary" in /etc/apt/sources.list to "breezy"
[01:04] <jareth_> CappO then run sudo apt-get update
[01:04] <CappO> ok, do you know if wireless is better supported in that version ?
[01:04] <jareth_> CappO then run sudo apt-get upgrade
[01:04] <micahcowan> Moocasso: make sure and flag my name at the start of your response, so I see it if I'm in a different channel.
[01:04] <khoda> someone told me to run this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg   - what does that do?
[01:04] <jareth_> CappO from breezy you can update to happer
[01:04] <jareth_> CappO dunno, have no wifi myself
[01:05] <CappO> ok gonna update then, be back later, thanx
[01:05] <jareth_> CappO take care!
[01:05] <sloucher> khoda: it reconfigures the xserver - sounds like a good idea
[01:05] <khoda> what does that mean? (just trying to learn as i do this)
[01:05] <Moocasso> micahcowan:  Okay, I tried that, starts up a new x session, no errors as far as I can tell
[01:06] <sloucher> khoda - it sets up the gui interface
[01:06] <khoda> sloucher - so i have to run that eveyr time i do something like apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[01:06] <redblades> No
[01:07] <sloucher> khoda: no - only when it's not working which should be never once it's set up
[01:07] <khoda> its asking for
[01:07] <khoda> "PLease enter the video card's bus identifier"
[01:07] <micahcowan> Moocasso: ??? and that's with the command in .xsession?
[01:07] <khoda> what's that?
[01:07] <redblades> khoda, you install xorg once, and then it works from then on, except if you try to install 3rd party binary drivers
[01:07] <gean> HELP PLEASE: i finally have the ubuntu-6.06-alternate-i386 (burned from iso). How can i upgrade from breezy (5.10) after UPGRADE CRASH (no x, no internet recognition) ?!
[01:07] <Moocasso> micahcowan: was it supposed to open a new x session?
[01:07] <micahcowan> Moocasso: yes, if it works. I was expecting it to fail.
[01:08] <sloucher> khoda: most of the time accept the default and just hit return
[01:08] <Moocasso> Lol
[01:08] <Moocasso> Sorry to disappoint :P
[01:08] <redblades> In which case, it gets messy sometimes, and you just tpye "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[01:08] <holycow> gean, easiest thing to do is to save your files from /home and just reinstall.
[01:08] <micahcowan> Moocasso: it had the command in the .xsession file?
[01:09] <Moocasso> yep
[01:09] <khoda> now it asks for how much memory (in kB to be used by vid card
[01:09] <Moocasso> wait...it's gone now...
[01:09] <Moocasso> let me try it again O.o
[01:09] <khoda> leave it blank?
[01:09] <micahcowan> Oh! That's right... startx won't use .xsession. Put the command in .xinitrc
[01:09] <redblades> Just go with the default.
[01:09] <micahcowan> And then do startx
[01:09] <Moocasso> no, it was there, nevermind :P
[01:09] <Moocasso> Okay
[01:09] <sloucher> khoda: hit return if you don't know
[01:10] <nemlah> Hello all i am having troouble with my tvcard
[01:10] <sloucher> khoda: you can always redo it
[01:10] <nemlah> can someone help me find and solve the problem?
[01:10] <khoda> sloucher thanks
[01:11] <Rikkimaru> How can I figure out what sound card I have (laptop)?
[01:11] <Enverex> nemlah, What's the problem?
[01:11] <Enverex> Rikkimaru, run lspci and look for what it may be
[01:11] <khoda> does it matter what "server modules are loaded by default?"
[01:11] <Moocasso> micahcowan:  just to confirm, it says not authorized to run, I used sudo last time, should I?
[01:11] <gean> holycow : /home/dan is not enough, lots of computer algebra  systems with ugly (non-deb) installation are somewhere ``in the darkness''; by the way : say reinstall is the only choice, where is the list of my already installed Ubuntu-packages ?!
[01:11] <Sanne> Rikkimaru: and lspci -vv gives even more info
[01:11] <sysdoc> Rikkimaru, easiest way is to visit the manufactures web site
[01:12] <sloucher> Khoda: your killing me - if you don't know hit return
[01:12] <micahcowan> Moocasso: no.
[01:12] <Moocasso> k, am I doing somethign wrong then?
[01:12] <khoda> sloucher: I'm a newb, sorry <3
[01:12] <Rikkimaru> Alright, I found the chipset, where can I get the drivers for an Intel audio chipset?
[01:12] <micahcowan> not sure. Hang on a bit.
[01:12] <khoda> sloucher: if i dont ask, ill never know. but i'll keep hitting enter for your benefit :D
[01:12] <Moocasso> k :)
[01:12] <holycow> gean, what does this mean -->  lots of computer algebra  systems with ugly (non-deb) installation are somewhere
[01:12] <Enverex> Where can I change how long the sudo password is saved for?
[01:13] <holycow> gean, its not the only choice, just the easiest
[01:13] <gean> holycow : for instance SAGE, depending on pari, Singular, GAP, but also maple, magma, math, matlab, ...
[01:13] <holycow> gean, so you can't reinstall those?
[01:13] <nemlah> I can't get it to work.. i have read through lots of forums
[01:13] <khoda> how do i get back into gnome after i do the reconfig?
[01:14] <nemlah> but can't find the solution
[01:14] <sloucher> khoda: you can read up on this stuff easy enough http://wiki.x.org/wiki/ - but i suspect for now you just want an interface
[01:14] <gean> holycow : pari installs through synaptic , say, but many others have own rules to get on the HD
[01:14] <nemlah> the card is not recognized
[01:14] <holycow> gean, you didn't convert from rpm - deb?  okay
[01:15] <holycow> gean, how much do you know about networking? all you would need is to get your network card up and connected
[01:15] <holycow> you can reinstall everything from there
[01:15] <khoda> Should I install drivers for my vidcard before going back to the interface?
[01:16] <sloucher> khoda: the drivers should be there already. Or at least some basic drivers will be there already. I guess reconfig didn't work?
[01:16] <khoda> i'm not sure. im in console, how do i got back and test it
[01:16] <husky> http://de.fon.com/
[01:16] <gean> holycow : i can reinstall, but this is a big job, maple has for instance no easy install (have to rewrite code, rename needed lib's , etc), magma is also depending on ``very special libs'', i know it as i moved from knoppix to debian, and later from debian to ubuntu...
[01:16] <nemlah> lspci -v
[01:16] <nemlah> show the card
[01:16] <nemlah> shows
[01:16] <nemlah> when i start xtv i get two black screens
[01:17] <nemlah> and i have to go to another console and kill it
[01:17] <holycow> gean, *nod* i getcha
[01:17] <husky> http://en.fon.com/
[01:17] <khoda> sloucher: how do i get back to gnome?
[01:17] <sloucher> khoda: ctrl alt f7 might work - killing and restarting gdm would be better - for a newbie reboot
[01:17] <holycow> gean, well i guess the first thing we can do is comment out all the other repos in your sources.list and just add your cdrom as a repo
[01:18] <khoda> what's gdm?
[01:18] <holycow> gean, then you should be about to sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[01:18] <gean> holycow: well, i try to survive...
[01:18] <markedwards> hello all, can anyone tell me the default permissions of /etc/ssl/private on Dapper?
[01:18] <sloucher> khoda gnome display manager - there's a lot to know doing it that way though like the commands ps and kill
[01:18] <`DaGuy> Any suggestions on getting MSN mail (HoTmail) to work w/ Evolution Mail?
[01:19] <khoda> sloucher: still hangs. should i try to do the reconfig again?
[01:20] <TobyK> Have a problem dual-booting... Had Ubuntu installed first on an IDE drive a while back, now I need Windows to play a game. Removed the IDE drive (Windows refused to install while it was plugged in), and installed it to a SATA drive. Got it booted working and updated. Plugged the other drives back in, and added an entry for it in GRUB. When I tried to boot to it, I got a generic "Disk Error. Press any key to restart" message.
[01:20] <TobyK> I can't boot to windows any more when that's the only HDD plugged in either.
[01:20] <sloucher> khoda: hard to tell what to do from here - reconfig has a chance to work. I think trying the install might be better to tell you becuase this should be configure for you easily.
[01:21] <`DaGuy> !email
[01:21] <ubotu> I know nothing about email - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:21] <khoda> sloucher: do you mean reinstall ubuntu?
[01:21] <astaroth> I installed a lot of packages from automatix now, got some "couldnt get index file bla bla bla" on some packages, is that normal? everything installed correctly and works. also when it finished I updated some lib file that couldnt get authorised. Did this happend to me only or?
[01:21] <holycow> what is apt setup command again?
[01:21] <holycow> i thought it was apt-setup
[01:21] <sloucher> khoda: yeah, start over
[01:21] <khoda> kk
[01:21] <khoda> sloucher: whats the first command(s) i should run when i install?
[01:22] <astaroth> khoda, are you doing a server install?
[01:22] <khoda> astaroth: yes, its the only kind i'm aware of.
[01:22] <astaroth> ok
[01:22] <khoda> :)
[01:22] <astaroth> I had to do that too
[01:22] <khoda> do what?
[01:22] <astaroth> Cuz the live cd didnt work with my hardware
[01:22] <astaroth> do a server install
[01:22] <micahcowan> Moocasso, what's the exact message?
[01:22] <khoda> astaroth: i actually used livecd first by accident. i want it on my harddrive.
[01:23] <sloucher> khoda: you try the live cd?
[01:23] <markedwards> anyone willing to just check a file perm for me?
[01:23] <khoda> sloucher: i did it by accident. i got into the desktop and it was all messed up (gfx and stuff). couldnt click a thing
[01:23] <Moocasso> you mean when I try to start up with the command in .xsession?
[01:23] <astaroth> well, just make sure your /etc/apt/sources.list points to dapper, then do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. thats all I did
[01:23] <Bergcube> markedwards~  on your computer?  From here?
[01:23] <Sanne> TobyK: did you check your BIOS settings for the bott device? Just a guess...
[01:23] <gean> holycow : i tried it after that apt-cdrom -m add, think i have to try it again, my problems are : no x, no internet connection: maybe i have to insure the correct install of the x-based tool for installation... only chance i see: live cd, get a small partition, install there ubuntu, copy computer algebra system dir tree from the old breezy and then get rid of it ! Thanks for the help ! I'm moving to the other computer at the other end of the
[01:23] <gean> faculty !
[01:23] <markedwards> Bergcube: no, just want to know the permissions of /etc/ssl/private/ on a default install
[01:24] <sloucher> khoda: that don't sound promising - the server cd works too though like astaroth says
[01:24] <markedwards> I hade to do g+r on mine, and I want to know if that is default
[01:24] <Bergcube> markedwards~  ok, I'll peek.  BRB.
[01:24] <nauski> hmmh
[01:24] <khoda> sloucher: im reinstalling, lets see what i get
[01:24] <markedwards> Bergcube: thanks!
[01:24] <Moocasso> micahcowan?  Do you mean when I'm starting up with the command in .xsession?
[01:24] <holycow> gean, well backup all your data first anyway
[01:25] <astaroth> Again: (Since I am starting to get paranoid if I am the only one): I installed a lot of packages from automatix now, got some "couldnt get index file bla bla bla" on some packages, is that normal? everything installed correctly and works. also when it finished I updated some lib file that couldnt get authorised. Did this happend to me only or?
[01:25] <Madpilot> markedwards, looks like it's owned by root, and perms are 700 - read/write/exec only by owner
[01:25] <Bergcube> markedwards~  700
[01:25] <holycow> !automatix
[01:25] <ubotu> Automatix is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. For help with and discussion of automatix please join #automatix.
[01:25] <Madpilot> astaroth, this is why automatix is NOT recommended... it does strange stuff to people's Ubuntu installs...
[01:25] <markedwards> wacky, mine were rwx--x---
[01:25] <markedwards> thanks
[01:25] <holycow> astaroth, you should be paranoid.  i would recommend not using something as stupid as automatix
[01:26] <micahcowan> Moocasso: where it says you don't have authorization, or whatnot, yeah. That's when you run startx, yes?
[01:26] <nauski> can anyone help me getting sounds to work, Im using a Terratec card with optical output
[01:26] <Bergcube> markedwards~  NP!
[01:26] <Moocasso> Oh
[01:26] <dcomsa> hey, does anyone here has edgy installed?
[01:26] <holycow> astaroth, try easyubuntu, it doesn't bypass the package manager
[01:26] <Moocasso> xauth:  creating new authority file /home/fnar/.serverauth.8680X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting.xinit:  Server error.Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console
[01:26] <astaroth> holycow, god. I thought it was good, I just came back to ubuntu from arch linux..dont tell me I have to do it from the start again
[01:26] <Davek23x> has anyone else had a problem with java?
[01:27] <holycow> astaroth, basically think of it this way: the retard that created automatix doesn't have a clue adn should be shot for creating such a thing and convincing people to use it
[01:27] <Rondo> Can one mount a cue/bin in ubuntu with fstab?
[01:27] <dcomsa> Davek23x: what king of problem?
[01:27] <holycow> astaroth, well you are the one that didn't research automatix and its problems ... right?
[01:27] <astaroth> holycow, I sure didnt
[01:27] <skavenge> well he got it half right, runs like glass on some machines and completely destroys others, its a 50/50 shot
[01:27] <Davek23x> well nothing runs
[01:28] <astaroth> Is it bad to use the repo from recommended at psychocats as well? I better ask before I do a reinstall
[01:28] <TobyK> Sanne: Eh? Ubuntu still boots fine, I only get the "Disk Error" when I try to boot windows.
[01:28] <Davek23x> i tried java -jar program.jar and then i get an error main.class not found or something
[01:28] <holycow> astaroth, recommended psychocats? whats that?
[01:28] <dcomsa> Davek23x: try running java -version, and see what you get
[01:28] <astaroth> holycow, I mean the repos thats recommended at psychocats homepage
[01:28] <Skunky26> hi
[01:28] <Sanne> astaroth: while it may seem to be a lot of work at first, it is really beneficial if you do installing those programs by hand. There are lots of tutorials for that on the ubuntu wiki. You'll learn a lot :)
[01:28] <holycow> !psychocat
[01:28] <Madpilot> astaroth, URL of that?
[01:28] <ubotu> I know nothing about psychocat - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:29] <Skunky26> someone speak spanish????
[01:29] <Davek23x> java version "1.4.2"
[01:29] <Davek23x> gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.1.0 (Ubuntu 4.1.0-1ubuntu8)
[01:29] <Madpilot> !es
[01:29] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[01:29] <skavenge> Skunky26: #unbuntu-es
[01:29] <skavenge> ubuntu even
[01:29] <Skunky26> thanks
[01:29] <Madpilot> astaroth, use https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories for repo information
[01:29] <holycow> astaroth, never heard of it, basically if you use any software off of the internet you need to research the source to find out if its trustworthy ... i don't know about who or what psychocat
[01:29] <astaroth> Sanne, I know how to install the stuff. But automatix sounded like a great tool. spare sp,e to,e
[01:29] <holycow> is
[01:29] <dcomsa> Davek23x: have some problems with the default JVM installed on ubuntu
[01:29] <dcomsa> just install sun's jvm
[01:30] <astaroth> holycow, http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/sources.php
[01:30] <astaroth> check it out
[01:30] <Sanne> TobyK: yeah, I just thought that maybe when the windows disk is the only one plugged in, it still might be needed to set it up as a boot device in the BIOS... but this may be nonsense, it's just a wild guess.
[01:30] <Davek23x> ahh cool i was starting to worry all my favourite apps are java (which is why I am finally free of MS)
[01:30] <nauski> err wtf, I disabled the crappy onboard audiochip from bios. and lspci still says that the multimedia audio controller is c-media plahplah
[01:30] <sysdoc> Sanne, I got a question for ya, can I pm ya?
[01:30] <Sanne> astaroth: ok, I see and understand. Still, I wouldn't recommend it.
[01:31] <skavenge> i use the blackdown java works for me
[01:31] <dcomsa> Davek23x: the package in synaptic is sun-java5-jdk
[01:31] <holycow> astaroth, those all look like ubuntu repos, therefore i would say they are fine
[01:31] <Madpilot> astaroth, that doesn't look too crackish - still, https://help.ubuntu.com/community is the official Ubuntu wiki, it's the best source of info
[01:31] <Desh> Hi, what kernel version would be best for an AMD64 running 32bit UBuntu.
[01:31] <Sanne> sysdoc: hey, how're ya? pm is fine.
[01:31] <sysdoc> coO
[01:31] <dcomsa> i think you need to have multiverse repos enabled
[01:31] <astaroth> Thanks guys, I will reinstall now and come back. See you
[01:31] <Moocasso> micahcowan:  any more ideas?
[01:32] <Davek23x> Edulix: Couldn't find package sun-java5-jdk
[01:32] <Madpilot> blasted automoronix claims another install... :|
[01:32] <Davek23x> hrmm
[01:32] <Davek23x> ecolon
[01:32] <Davek23x> damned shortcuts
[01:32] <Skunky26> someone can tell me how install ubuntu???
[01:32] <Sanne> sysdoc: where's your pm? ;P
[01:32] <dcomsa> Davek23x: you'll need to enable backports, universe and multivers repos
[01:32] <Davek23x> Skunky26 make cd and boot using it
[01:33] <micahcowan> Moocasso: yeah, sorry, was researching some...
[01:33] <nauski> can _anyone_ help?
[01:33] <dcomsa> Davek23x: i don't remember which one has it :)
[01:33] <khoda> okay i just reinstalled. whats the first thing i need to do?
[01:33] <Moocasso> micahcowan: no problem :)  Just wanted to amke sure you got the message, hehe
[01:33] <skavenge> !info sun-java5-sdk
[01:33] <ubotu> Package sun-java5-sdk does not exist in dapper

[01:34] <dcomsa> anyone with edgy here?
[01:34] <sysdoc> Sanne, see pm
[01:34] <dcomsa> i wanna check on a bug
[01:34] <Madpilot> khoda, that depends what you want to do - but starting by enabling the multimedia stuff is a good way to begin: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[01:34] <Madpilot> dcomsa, #ubuntu+1 for Edgy
[01:34] <dcomsa> thanx
[01:35] <phaedrus44> how do i copy text from console?
[01:35] <Sanne> sysdoc: yep
[01:35] <cedric_> khoda Madpilot : use easyubuntu
[01:35] <cedric_> is the first thing to do
[01:36] <micahcowan> phaedrus: typically, you select it with the mouse, and then middle-click somewhere to paste it. Is it /real/ console or X-terminal?
[01:36] <Davek23x> no hits searching synaptic for *java*5*
[01:36] <Konstable> I have a "Broken" ubuntu-desktop package and I can't get it to re-install
[01:36] <cedric_> sudo dpkg-reconfigure ubuntu-desktop
[01:36] <khoda> i dont have a gui installed or anything
[01:36] <nauski> okay the sound is working but how do I get it to work with the optical output?
[01:36] <phaedrus44> micahcowan:  it is eterm..
[01:36] <cedric_> oh it's a server ?
[01:36] <Davek23x> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[01:37] <phaedrus44> and i have only 2 button mouse
[01:37] <khoda> cedric_: yea.
[01:37] <cedric_> yo you probably d'ont need restricted format
[01:37] <khoda> cedric_: am i right in assuming the only differnece between a server and livecd is that a server is on you harddrive
[01:37] <Konstable> cedric_: It says that it's not installed.  I think I removed it successfully already, but it won't get itself back.
[01:37] <nauski> I guess you guys arent big fans of music
[01:38] <cedric_> khoda : you are wrong
[01:38] <tuliomgui> someone can help installing the nvidia driver??
[01:38] <FurryNemesis> ooh, it worked.....
[01:38] <FurryNemesis> what card?
[01:38] <cedric_> reinstall using theso easy 6.06
[01:38] <verix> hey, there wouldn't happen to be a program for Linux that allows you to write in Asian characters, would there?
[01:39] <Davek23x> tuliomgui - what card?
[01:39] <micahcowan> if chording is enabled, then you can select text, and press /both/ mouse buttons somewhere to paste.
[01:39] <nauski> omfg, 5 questions and not a single even remotely helpful answer
[01:39] <mjr> verix, yes
[01:39] <micahcowan> phaedrus: ^^
[01:39] <verix> what's it called?
[01:39] <nauski> is there an ubuntu help channel?
[01:39] <khoda> I installed ubuntu for the first time today (first time at linux) and it messed up first time. i just reinstalled - what's the first thing i should do
[01:39] <tuliomgui> Davek23x, mx440
[01:39] <verix> khoda: what's it doing?
[01:39] <mjr> verix, scim is the canonical system for weird inputs, I think :)
[01:39] <Davek23x> you have to edit a file called xorg.conf
[01:39] <nauski> CAN ANYONE HELP ME GETTING THE OPTICAL OUTPUT TO WORK?
[01:39] <Davek23x> look for a how to on the net
[01:39] <FurryNemesis> you need the nvidia-glx-legacy packages from synaptic
[01:39] <tuliomgui> can you helo me please??
[01:39] <verix> mjr: canonical system?
[01:39] <mjr> verix, apt-cache search scim for relevant packages
[01:39] <paul__> quick question: it is normal for window redraws and resizes on the desktop to be noticably slower than in Windows, even with the NVidia drivers installed?
[01:39] <phaedrus44> micahcowan:  i guess chording is not enabled...how do i?
[01:40] <verix> ahh, thank you!
[01:40] <khoda> the first time i installed i did "sudo apt-get install ubunto-desktop" but the gui was all messed up. it hung on the splash logo after i logged in
[01:40] <khoda> this time i want to make sure i'm doing it right.
[01:40] <tuliomgui> Davek23x, can you please help me
[01:40] <mjr> verix, canonical as in usual, recommended, etc
[01:40] <micahcowan> you'll have to change your xorg.conf file...  Again, you'll need (Ctrl-Alt-F7) to get back to your desktop.
[01:42] <Davek23x> so you are installing from the console not from within the GUI
[01:42] <FurryNemesis> reboot x
[01:42] <verix> oh crap, I can't remember-- what's the command to plug in commands you want when Gnome starts up?
[01:42] <tuliomgui> yes
[01:42] <Moocasso> Okay
[01:42] <verix> or at least to configure that part
[01:42] <tuliomgui> should i try from the GUI?
[01:43] <ghost3> gui, didnt know daper had a text mode
[01:43] <Davek23x> and the GUI is shut down completely
[01:43] <Davek23x> no
[01:43] <Davek23x> wont work
[01:43] <tuliomgui> yes
[01:43] <tuliomgui> thats true
[01:43] <khoda> what's the difference between "desktop" and "server" ?
[01:43] <ghost3> serer install appache
[01:43] <Davek23x> and you ran sudo /etc/init.d/gdk stop
[01:43] <ghost3> server
[01:43] <mjr> verix, if you're looking to start scim, just install scim-gtk2-immodule instead, IIRC it should do it for Gnome
[01:43] <verix> it's smahh
[01:43] <verix> alright, thanks
[01:43] <tuliomgui> before running the nvidia installer?
[01:43] <Moocasso> fatal server errorver is already active for display 0

[01:46] <micahcowan> Moocasso: it shouldn't be trying display 0 if you had the -- :1 bit after startx?
[01:46] <khoda> I'm sure someone has to.
[01:47] <Moocasso> yep
[01:47] <Moocasso> startx --:1
[01:47] <tuliomgui> Davek23x, man, my interface went down
[01:47] <tuliomgui> auhauhauhauhauha
[01:47] <khoda> I just installed the server. How do I get into a GUI?
[01:47] <micahcowan> Oh! make sure there's a space between -- and :
[01:47] <khoda> (Firs ttime user)
[01:47] <tuliomgui> was that supposed to happen?
[01:47] <ghost3> yes, someone has to, but look at them, to many questions and not enough people with the answers
[01:47] <polpak> khoda: what gui do you want?
[01:47] <Davek23x> khoda /etc/init.d/gdm start lol
[01:47] <khoda> what's the most widely used?
[01:47] <polpak> khoda: and why did you choose server?
[01:47] <Moocasso> oh, k
[01:47] <polpak> khoda: gnome is the default for ubuntu
[01:48] <khoda> polpak: I want to learn about network administration
[01:48] <ghost3> or kde
[01:48] <khoda> PacketScan: okay so how do i get into gnome
[01:48] <khoda> errr
[01:48] <khoda> polpak:
[01:48] <khoda> how do i get into gnome
[01:48] <tuliomgui> Davek23x, by stopping the gdm and runnig the installer, will it work?
[01:48] <Konstable> What's the fastest way to remove Ubuntu from my harddrive and reclaim my partitions.
[01:48] <Davek23x> if its installed try startx
[01:48] <ghost3> format
[01:48] <Davek23x> ok noob question how do you run a bin file?
[01:48] <polpak> khoda: is this a production system? or is it just you using it?
[01:49] <khoda> polpak: its just my personal system
[01:49] <Moocasso> micahcowan: says some stuff about "refcount is 2, should be 1, fixing..." then goes back to a terminal
[01:49] <dcomsa> Davek23x: sh thefile.bin
[01:49] <polpak> khoda: do you have the "desktop" install cd?
[01:49] <Davek23x> ez money
[01:49] <polpak> khoda: I don't think you actually want the server install
[01:49] <polpak> khoda: if you don't it's fine
[01:49] <khoda> polpak: why?
[01:49] <z0r1> How do I change nm-applet's master keychain password?
[01:49] <khoda> polpak: what's the difference?
[01:50] <polpak> khoda: the server installs less
[01:50] <polpak> khoda: like no gui =p
[01:50] <z0r1> I accidently set it to the same as my 64 character WPA password .. so I have to type my WPA password everytime nm-applet tries to get on the net ...
[01:50] <khoda> polpak: won't i learn more this way? :D
[01:50] <tuliomgui> hey Davek23x, same problem
[01:50] <z0r1> Does anyone know how to change the nm-applet password?
[01:50] <polpak> khoda: not nessicaraly
[01:50] <polpak> khoda: have you used linux before?
[01:50] <tuliomgui> it says i have to exit my X server before continue
[01:50] <Davek23x> wow man you couldnt have downloaded and installed all the files that quickly
[01:50] <khoda> polpak: nope
[01:50] <PacketScan> z0r1, passwd
[01:50] <Davek23x> ok hey
[01:50] <Davek23x> right now
[01:50] <polpak> khoda: just do the standard ubuntu desktop install for starters then
[01:50] <z0r1> passwd will change nm-applet's password?
[01:50] <Davek23x> konsole
[01:51] <ghost3> can someone help me with a simple install prob with daper
[01:51] <tuliomgui> i just stopped the gdm and tried to run the installer
[01:51] <polpak> khoda: you can use everything the server has, but you'll also have a gui/browser, etc.
[01:51] <tuliomgui> yeah
[01:51] <polpak> khoda: so it'll be usable as a desktop system
[01:51] <tuliomgui> console
[01:51] <Davek23x> type ps -ux
[01:51] <khoda> polpak: okay will do ... but i was under the impression that just boots off of the cd, doesnt install to harddrive. is that wrong?
[01:51] <tuliomgui> a lot of things listed
[01:52] <z0r1> Anyone know how to change nm-applet's master password?

[01:52] <PacketScan> z0r1, passwd
[01:52] <ghost3> thanks
[01:52] <Davek23x> ok the numbers to the right of your name
[01:52] <z0r1> passwd doesn't work
[01:52] <polpak> khoda: once it boots off the cd there is a icon on the desktop to install to the hard disk
[01:52] <Davek23x> are process ID's
[01:52] <PacketScan> z0r1, passwd <username>
[01:52] <z0r1> it just want to change "UNIX password"
[01:52] <khoda> polpak: will it give me the option of getting rid of the server install
[01:52] <Davek23x> to end a process use kill -9 process ID
[01:52] <tuliomgui> PID
[01:52] <z0r1> PacketScan I'm talking about the master password for nm-applet's keychain for WPA passwords
[01:52] <PacketScan> right. applets don't store their own passwords.
[01:53] <z0r1> you are talking about changing a user passwords
[01:53] <polpak> khoda: is the server install the only thing on the box right now?
[01:53] <ghost3> i had it installed beofre, i formated my system and wne to reinstall it again, the installer on the desktop hangs for long time, i ran a check cd in grub and it all checks out fine. help
[01:53] <khoda> polpak: nope, windows too
[01:53] <tuliomgui> so a have to kill the x server and then try to isntall?
[01:53] <Davek23x> so when you end your session and it says x is still running try killing it that way
[01:53] <aqau_inter_fly> Hello everyone
[01:53] <tuliomgui> ok
[01:53] <ghost3> i downloaded a fresh iso and tried it, same thing
[01:53] <Davek23x> any seconds on that
[01:53] <tuliomgui> ill be right back
[01:53] <Davek23x> ??
[01:53] <polpak> khoda: well then you'll want to go through the manual partition process, and reformat the current ubuntu install, then install the desktop install on that partition
[01:54] <z0r1> PacketScan my password for my user is about 10 characters long .. the password to access my wifi keys is about 64 characters ... passwd doesn't change the password for nm-applet's keychain

[01:56] <Ropechoborra> Some cool game for ubuntu ?? =)
[01:56] <valehru> how can I change the colour of the brown splash screen in gnome?
[01:56] <holycow> ghost3, its fine, if ya got games ya need sure
[01:56] <Blazeix> Cool games are nexuiz and sauerbraten - both FPS
[01:56] <Blazeix> Both are free
[01:56] <dcomsa> aqau_inter_fly: just ask the question and hopefully someone will answer
[01:57] <khoda> polpak: im getting into desktop right now. the graphics look messed up
[01:57] <aqau_inter_fly> dcomsa: already did...but i can again
[01:57] <paul__> 2nd try: it is normal for window redraws and resizes on the desktop to be noticably slower than in Windows, even with the NVidia drivers installed?
[01:57] <PSC1315_willnich> my USB is under /dev/bus/usb/001/ is that normaly? should it not under /dev/usb/  be?
[01:57] <khoda> polpak: like sketchy and stuff
[01:57] <Ropechoborra> valehru Sistem > Admin > Start Up Window
[01:57] <ghost3> now, only one, i was going to "thanks holycow" use the partioner on the cd like i did last time
[01:57] <holycow> guys, why doesn't apt-setup work in ubuntu?
[01:57] <eric__> I have what I hope is an easy question.
[01:57] <FurryNemesis> hmm
[01:57] <polpak> khoda: is it booting, or is it in the desktop?
[01:57] <valehru> Ropechoborra, Start Up Window?  dont have that one
[01:57] <eric__> I'm trying to install Turboprint in ubuntu.
[01:57] <holycow> ghost3, heh
[01:58] <eric__> The installer keeps quitting with the error 'need to be in root user mode'.
[01:58] <Ropechoborra> valehru MMM Mine is in spanish.. so the translation wont be the same.. but something like that...
[01:58] <khoda> polpak: right now its hanging on the ubuntu splash logo with a maroon background. i think its the image before you see the desktop. it might still be loading
[01:58] <Madpilot> valehru, System->Admin->Login Window
[01:58] <eric__> How do I do that in ubuntu?
[01:58] <Ropechoborra> valehru i guess its in the bottom...
[01:58] <ghost3> holycow ghostrecon and starcraft cant live with out it :)
[01:58] <aqau_inter_fly> eric__: is the installer in terminal?
[01:58] <khoda> polpak: i can move the mouse around, but the image is just staying there... hanging
[01:58] <Madpilot> eric__, sticking sudo in front doesn't help?
[01:58] <polpak> khoda: it may take a while
[01:58] <khoda> polpak: noted
[01:58] <polpak> khoda: the live cd is a bit sluggish
[01:58] <eric__> aqau_inter_fly: I've tried it in terminal and in the gui.
[01:59] <polpak> khoda: the actual desktop is not
[01:59] <khoda> polpak: someone should work on that! ;)
[01:59] <shiv> Is there any weather application that works on dapper?
[01:59] <holycow> !apt-setup
[01:59] <FurryNemesis> ghost3: you're not trying to install Ubuntu on an NTFS partition, are you?
[01:59] <ubotu> I know nothing about apt-setup - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:59] <aqau_inter_fly> eric__: if you are in terminal, you can put "sudo" before the command to make it fun in root user mode
[01:59] <dcomsa> shiv: check gDesklets
[01:59] <Madpilot> shiv, there's a little Gnome applet that shows weather, and gDesklets has one too
[01:59] <holycow> guys, and anyone run sudo apt-setup on their dapper system and tell me if apt-setup exists ?
[01:59] <eric__> Funny thing - - I navigate to the unpacked directory for Turboprint, I can LS and see the setup, but I say "setup" and it says command not found.
[01:59] <Blazeix> shiv:If you use firefox, consider getting the forcastfox extension
[01:59] <ghost3> no, wont even get that far, hangs while loading the lang. for me to pick
[01:59] <valehru> Ropechoborra, thats for the login screen....Im talking about the brown windowt that appears stating whats starting up as you boot into gnome
[02:00] <valehru> splash screen
[02:00] <shiv> dcomsa: I tried those none of the desklets work also iweather which is hard to find now. None of them work any more
[02:00] <holycow> !splash
[02:00] <ubotu> To change the Gnome splash screen, open the gconf-editor and change the key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash-image.
[02:00] <Ropechoborra> valehru the grub one?
[02:00] <FurryNemesis> ok
[02:00] <ghost3> FurryNemesis: not sure what to do now
[02:00] <holycow> bootsplash i think  you mean
[02:00] <khoda> polpak: still hanging on that logo...
[02:00] <cedric_> !bcm43xx
[02:00] <Madpilot> valehru, see the line ubotu just posted
[02:00] <holycow> !bootsplash
[02:00] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs with Broadcom Specifics at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Dapper
[02:00] <valehru> no
[02:00] <ubotu> I know nothing about bootsplash - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[02:00] <valehru> not grub..
[02:00] <Ropechoborra> valehru nono.. i know.. the splash window... yes.. that is the pleace.. i changed it today =)
[02:00] <paul__> holycow - I get bash: apt-setup: command not found
[02:00] <aqau_inter_fly> eric__: or, you can type "sudo -i" as a command itself and then it will ask for your password and when you type it and hit enter, then you will permanetely be in root user mode until you close terminal
[02:01] <holycow> valehru, if its the gnome splash, just change the key noted by ubotu
[02:01] <holycow> paul__, thanks dude, so its gone
[02:01] <holycow> thats idiotic
[02:01] <holycow> appreciate the confirmation
[02:01] <aqau_inter_fly> eric__: if there is a # next to your name then you are in root mode, if there is a $, then you are not
[02:01] <khoda> polpak: i have an AMD 64 dual core, that's not a problem, right
[02:01] <Ropechoborra> valehru but... there.. is an option that talks about the splash image.. see carefully its there
[02:01] <ghost3> FurryNemesis: im doing just what i did before but it hangs, i even burned the new iso at a slower speed
[02:01] <khoda> polpak: i downloaded the AMD64 version
[02:02] <Ropechoborra> Is the kernel 686 the bestone for a Celeron 2GHz ??
[02:02] <polpak> khoda: well afaik it works ok, but somethings are a little trikier
[02:02] <dcomsa> valehru: see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=11478
[02:02] <khoda> polpak: its still hanging.. :\
[02:02] <aqau_inter_fly> Okay, I need a little help...how do I permanetely set up a wireless network?
[02:02] <ghost3> FurryNemesis: not sure if there is a text mode and if so no ideal how to install from there, thats why i dont use slackwear :P
[02:02] <FurryNemesis> ok
[02:03] <FurryNemesis> see the private note I sent you?

[02:03] <holycow> what device?
[02:03] <eric__> aqau_inter_fly: so I go to the turboprint directory and do sudo setup (setup is in green); it prompts me for a password, which I give, then it says "command not found".
[02:03] <FurryNemesis> you can get into windows, yes?>
[02:03] <mwe> aqau_inter_fly: hey
[02:03] <shiv> does anyone know how to install thesaurus in openoffice to look up the synonyms?

[02:04] <FurryNemesis> I'm using xchat too, I may have messed up
[02:04] <scotth> anyone here having problems with edgy and the kernel doing stupid things... such as accessing beyond the end of the device for apts stuff?

[02:05] <paul__> my laptop won't boot to USB which is anoying though; but it works fine on this desktop system
[02:05] <mwe> aqau_inter_fly: what happens?
[02:05] <eric__> Anybody: I'm trying to run a setup for turboprint.  The "setup" file is green in my terminal.  I type "setup" and I get 'command not found'.  What am I doing wrong?
[02:05] <tuliomgui> where is Dave23x?
[02:05] <FurryNemesis> burn to disc and then do a low-level format (it'll be under something called KillDisk) of the partition you want to install Ubuntu to
[02:05] <aqau_inter_fly> mwe: when i go type the stuff in in the networking tool, when i hit apply, my computer completely freezes and i have to pull the plug
[02:06] <polpak> khoda: that's unusual. how much ram do you have?
[02:06] <mwe> aqau_inter_fly: odd. sounds broken
[02:06] <khoda> polpak: 2 GB
[02:06] <aqau_inter_fly> mwe: however, when i reboot, the settings are still saved in there, but it doesn't work
[02:06] <scotth> dcomsa: ty
[02:06] <khoda> polpak: it could be the fact that i have dual screen hooked up. i'm going to take one out and reboot
[02:06] <mwe> aqau_inter_fly: if you nano /etc/network/interfaces, do you see anything about your card?
[02:06] <nathan> am i the only drunk one here
[02:07] <aqau_inter_fly> mwe: do you need to go into termin and type ifdown eth0 everytime
[02:07] <ghost3> will this disk let me make partions?
[02:07] <FurryNemesis> yep
[02:07] <ghost3> nice
[02:07] <mwe> aqau_inter_fly: nono you can make it work
[02:07] <FurryNemesis> and format them properly too, plus lots of other nifty stuff
[02:07] <mwe> aqau_inter_fly: you can make it permanent by hand if the gui is broken
[02:07] <ghost3> cool :)
[02:08] <mwe> aqau_inter_fly: can you paste the contents of /etc/network/interfaces ?
[02:08] <nathan> in pastebin yes
[02:08] <aqau_inter_fly> mwe: i remember editing the interfaces thing when i set up the driver
[02:08] <ghost3> i dont see an iso file? do they have one
[02:08] <aqau_inter_fly> mwe: and yes, it says: auto rausb0
[02:08] <FurryNemesis> should do

[02:08] <mwe> aqau_inter_fly: can you paste the file please?

[02:09] <eric__> Do I have to address it differently?
[02:09] <ghost3> all i see is exe and zip torront files
[02:09] <wildman> eric__, that it is executable
[02:09] <mwe> eric__: it's executeable
[02:10] <mwe> eric__: ls -l will show it
[02:10] <FurryNemesis> http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/download.html
[02:10] <aqau_inter_fly> mwe: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18551
[02:10] <eric__> mwe: Just typing the word doesn't seem to work.
[02:10] <Alethes> it's either a real executable or a file with the wrong permissions, such a file copied via smb
[02:10] <FurryNemesis> you need the exe thingy, its self-extracting to ISO
[02:10] <eric__> mwe: I got it to go by using midnight commander.
[02:10] <mwe> eric__: type ./filename
[02:10] <ghost3> thanks for your help, you have yahoo?
[02:10] <eric__> mwe: oh.  Not very intuitive (said the mac user).  Thanks!
[02:11] <FurryNemesis> nope, just this
[02:11] <mwe> eric__: if you don't like it add . to your $PATH
[02:11] <ghost3> ok thanks again, goto go, you here offten?
[02:11] <FurryNemesis> ie xchat, which I'm still learning
[02:11] <wildman> eric__, that happens because "." (the current dir) is not on your PATH... otherwise you should be able to just type the name
[02:11] <FurryNemesis> sometimes
[02:11] <FurryNemesis> good luck
[02:11] <wildman> slow writer :P
[02:11] <ghost3> thanks :)
[02:11] <Dark_Knight_209> i'm having an issu with having two sound cards, one built in that doesn't work at all. And  a pci one. ubuntu seems to use my built in none functional one by default. is there a way to set the other device as the system default?
[02:12] <Dark_Knight_209> issue*
[02:12] <khoda> polpak: still hanging.
[02:12] <wildman> Dark_Knight_209, alias the modules differently
[02:12] <tuliomgui> can somebody help me installing my display card driver??
[02:12] <tuliomgui> please!
[02:12] <synthjet> hi.. anybody using or maybe could throw some insight on x macro recorder/player (like xnee) on Ubuntu? googling didnt help....
[02:12] <wildman> Dark_Knight_209, sound_slot_0 (or something like that) aliased to the 'working' sound card (to be default)
[02:13] <polpak> khoda: well you could use the alternate install cd.. It doesn't use a gui for the install
[02:13] <polpak> khoda: I had problems with the normal desktop installer myself (kept crashing after the partitioning stage)
[02:14] <aqau_inter_fly> mwe: did you get my message?
[02:14] <khoda> polpak: this is frustrating haha
[02:14] <nin----jaaa> anyone have links to a good python tutorial for complete python newbs
[02:14] <redblades> I might, give me a second
[02:15] <mwe> aqau_inter_fly: change static to dhcp in line 20 and remove lines 7,13,14,16,17,21,22,23,24 and 29
[02:15] <mwe> aqau_inter_fly: but make a backup first just in case
[02:15] <wildman> Dark_Knight_209, sorry for not being more specific, I remember very little about this 2 sound cards issue (and the OS wasn't ubuntu ;))
[02:16] <redblades> nin----jaaa, The Python site has many good tutorials.
[02:17] <mwe> aqau_inter_fly: and then paste /etc/network/do_wep as well. I don't know what that is supposed to do
[02:18] <aqau_inter_fly> mwe: okay, just give me a sec though
[02:18] <gean> PLEASE HELP me rebuild the x-support: i've upgraded from 5.10 Breezy to 6.06 Dapper, but something went wrong: ERROR MESS: (00) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" and then :_ FAILED to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libGLcore.so : ANY IDEA ?!
[02:18] <aqau_inter_fly> wme:  when you say you won't me to delete line 7, do you also want me to delete line 8, because it kind of goes with it
[02:19] <fr00d> Heyho..
[02:19] <FurryNemesis> gean
[02:19] <gean> FurryNemesis : yes..
[02:19] <synthjet> hi.. anybody using or maybe could throw some insight on x macro recorder/player (like xnee) on Ubuntu? I installed the rpm (as latest deb was missing) and "alien"-ed it, and got it installed.. but it gives probs and hangs up.. anybody had any success?
[02:19] <FurryNemesis> type in a console : dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg.conf
[02:19] <mwe> gean: yeah remove load glcore from the file after making a backup
[02:19] <Smeggy> does anyone know how to force a refresh rate on a CRT monitor... I have a 22" crt and it supports 100hz on every other operating system... Ubuntu only gets it to 85hz... The vert and horiz rates are correctly set.
[02:19] <fr00d> Does anybody know the error when system is halting when it says "Checking battery state..."? What's wrong there?
[02:20] <FurryNemesis> that will give you the option to re-set-up your xserver
[02:20] <dcomsa> fr00d: maybe you battery is dead :) (joke)
[02:21] <fr00d> dcomsa: I don't think so because there is no power cable inserted... ;)
[02:22] <dcomsa> fr00d: really now, perhaps you battery was depleted and needed to be recharged
[02:22] <FurryNemesis> gean, if you can
[02:22] <fr00d> /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/* gives also much information about my battery..
[02:22] <FurryNemesis> 't get into the command line
[02:22] <mwe> fr00d: a work around (not a fix) would be to disable acpi-support from the boot process
[02:23] <aqau_inter_fly> mwe: okay, if im using just a regular text editor instead of vi, is there anyway to save it?
[02:23] <mwe> aqau_inter_fly: not if you opened the file as a regular user
[02:24] <mwe> aqau_inter_fly: you should gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
[02:24] <fr00d> dcomsa: That's a strange battery check.. I'll have a try.
[02:24] <fr00d> thx
[02:24] <dcomsa> fr00d: you could check the power settings to see how the system is set to behave
[02:24] <aqau_inter_fly> mwe:  wait i just found my problem
[02:24] <FurryNemesis> gean, then boot to grub, select the ubuntu line and hit e, then select the line that ends with kernel and hit e, then add the word single to the end of that line. then boot
[02:24] <thetruth> what does it mean when I place _ _ under a word?  eg. _apparently_
[02:24] <dcomsa> maybe it's set to turn off when the battery is low
[02:24] <mwe> aqau_inter_fly: yes?
[02:24] <Nekow42> Hey, what package do I have to install to see japanese filenames correctly in Nautilus?
[02:24] <aqau_inter_fly> mwe: when i created the file do_wep, I was supposed to edit it with my essid, and wep key, but i didn't
[02:24] <gean> FurryNemesis : THANKS ! looks good, but: there is no xserver-xorg.conf, the root bash gives me some possible completions after xserver-xorg (very many) shall i try [dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ## ??]
[02:25] <FurryNemesis> gean, yep
[02:25] <aqau_inter_fly> i'll past it
[02:25] <FurryNemesis> try it there
[02:25] <mwe> aqau_inter_fly: don't use that
[02:25] <gean> FurryNemesis : Great, thanks, doin it ..
[02:25] <mwe> aqau_inter_fly: just do what I said and remove that line as well
[02:25] <aqau_inter_fly> mwe: what line?
[02:25] <mwe> aqau_inter_fly: the key and essid are set with the wireless-* options
[02:26] <mwe> aqau_inter_fly: 25
[02:26] <aqau_inter_fly> okay, do you want me to delete that file?
[02:26] <Nekow42> Foreign characters just show up as a ? in a black diamond...
[02:26] <mwe> aqau_inter_fly: change static to dhcp in line 20 and remove lines 7,13,14,16,17,21,22,23,24,25 and 29
[02:26] <synthjet> hi.. did anybody here use this package "xnee" on Unbuntu?
[02:26] <mwe> aqau_inter_fly: I feel convinced it will work that way
[02:26] <gean> FurryNemesis : ok, Ubuntu configuration menu opened ! i'll go the described way , thanks once more ! This was the rescue for my whole week end !
[02:27] <FurryNemesis> no prob, I had the same issue
[02:27] <FurryNemesis> good luck
[02:27] <aqau_inter_fly> mwe: okay
[02:27] <aqau_inter_fly> mwe: when i do the command vi etc/network/interfaces, it says file cannot be found
[02:27] <mwe> aqau_inter_fly: /etc not just etc
[02:28] <mwe> aqau_inter_fly: also use sudo
[02:28] <mwe> aqau_inter_fly: and make a backup
[02:28] <aqau_inter_fly> mwe: i used sudo -i when i openede terminal
[02:28] <aqau_inter_fly> mwe: did that too
[02:28] <mwe> aqau_inter_fly: ok then you don't need sudo again
[02:29] <Vilkacis> I think I installed 2 versions of mysql, or something. In any event, none of the documentation for MySQL is helping me because everytime I type mysql -u root, I am rejected. Even if I try a password with -p=password.
[02:29] <Vilkacis> ...this is probably completely unrelated to Ubuntu in general but I do not know where else to go. -_-
[02:29] <Tokeiito> labanaktis (good night)
[02:30] <Vilkacis> How do I REMOVE it and start over, maybe?
[02:30] <mcherm> Hello. I'm hoping someone can help me with wireless networking problems. My wireless connection worked correctly from when I first installed ubuntu, with no configuration needed. Then I must have made *some* change when visiting elsewhere and connecting to their network. Now I can't get it working here. What are the first steps for troubleshooting?
[02:30] <mwe> aqau_inter_fly: did you do anything manually to load the module for your wifi card just before I helped you last time?
[02:31] <aqau_inter_fly> mwe: i did a lot of stuff
[02:31] <mwe> aqau_inter_fly: including loading the driver?
[02:32] <aqau_inter_fly> mwe: yes
[02:33] <mwe> aqau_inter_fly: does rausb0 show if you type ifconfig -a?
[02:33] <aqau_inter_fly> mwe: hold on im going to finish editing this file (i know im taking forever
[02:33] <thetruth> how can I create a encrypted filsystem and hard drive?
[02:33] <mwe> ok
[02:34] <mwe> thetruth: I think there is a wiki explaining it on wiki.ubuntu.com
[02:34] <Vilkacis> Anyone have any expertise in MySQL?
[02:34] <mwe> Vilkacis: some
[02:34] <mwe> Vilkacis: well I wouldn't consider myself an expert but I've used it
[02:35] <Vilkacis> mwe: I think I broke it. I have been following the manuals but everytime I type the command they tell me to, the mysql commands get rejected.
[02:35] <aqau_inter_fly> mwe: yes it does show up
[02:35] <mwe> aqau_inter_fly: you should be good then
[02:35] <mwe> aqau_inter_fly: paste the new interfaces file so I can verify it
[02:35] <dcomsa> Vilkacis: try sudo mysql
[02:35] <Vilkacis> dcomsa: Thought of that. Same error. I was doing it all in su originally.
[02:36] <mwe> sudo mysql?
[02:36] <dcomsa> so, what's the error you're gettin
[02:36] <dcomsa> mwe: to login as root
[02:36] <mwe> mysqld doesn't care about root or not, only the password
[02:36] <Nekow42> In Nautilus, all foreign characters (like japanese,or even letters with an umlaut) show up as a ? in a diamond, and Opera's file browser refuses to show them all-together...
[02:36] <aqau_inter_fly> mwe: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18554
[02:37] <Vilkacis> ...wait, OK.. something I have done seems to have fixed.. something. I added 'MySQL Administrator' to the applications list (as well as the query browswer) and it's loaded in.
[02:37] <dcomsa> yeah, but by default, mysql grants root all the access
[02:37] <mwe> running mysql with sudo wont let you login without a correct pass
[02:37] <dcomsa> root doesn't need a pass (by default)
[02:37] <aqau_inter_fly> mwe: i found a problem
[02:38] <abo> is there a Graphical sql client for ubuntu?
[02:38] <mwe> aqau_inter_fly: what's eth2?
[02:38] <Vilkacis> OK, command-line still doesn't work like it should but the GUI APPEARS to be working. Let me try with this for a bit.
[02:38] <mwe> aqau_inter_fly: do you have 3 ethernet cards?
[02:38] <Vilkacis> abo: Apparently!
[02:38] <aqau_inter_fly> mwe: i dono why but there is an extra 105& after dhcp
[02:38] <dcomsa> abo: mysql query browser
[02:38] <aqau_inter_fly> mwe: I have no clue what eth2 is
[02:38] <abo> how do I get that?
[02:38] <nathan> phpmyadmin :D
[02:38] <abo> sudo apt-get install ??
[02:38] <Vilkacis> abo: I went to applications > add applications and searched for 'sql'
[02:39] <dcomsa> yes
[02:39] <aqau_inter_fly> mwe: the only things i've ever used are the rausb0 and eth0
[02:39] <nathan> apt-get install phpmyadmin, it is your friend
[02:40] <mwe> aqau_inter_fly: remove lines 8-11 then and the extra blank lines. and indent lines 15-17 with a tab
[02:40] <Nekow42> phpmyadmin is excellent, I've used webmin before too for MySQL, but it isn't MySQL specialized
[02:40] <mcherm> Hi. My wireless card used to work, but is now failing. I've tried bringing it down and up (using "sudo iwconfig") which doesn't help. I've looked at the output of ifconfig, iwconfig, and netstat but with my limited knowledge I cannot discern a problem. The symptom is that I'm apparently not getting assigned an IP via DHCP, nor can I ping my gateway. Suggestions anyone?
[02:40] <aqau_inter_fly> mwe: how do i exit a vi without saving
[02:41] <mwe> aqau_inter_fly: :q!
[02:41] <nathan> aqau_inter_fly, :q!
[02:41] <mwe> nathan: copycat :)
[02:41] <Nekow42> mcherm: Power-cycled your gateway?
[02:41] <nathan> mwahha :P
[02:41] <mcherm> aqua_inter_fly: esc q !
[02:41] <tuliomgui> can somebody tell me how do I enable 70Hz on my video refresh??
[02:41] <tuliomgui> it doesnt appear
[02:42] <tuliomgui> 70 or more
[02:42] <mwe> aqau_inter_fly: yeah you have to type esc first if it's in insert mode
[02:42] <tuliomgui> i cant stand this 60Hz rate
[02:42] <tuliomgui> im having headake
[02:42] <aqau_inter_fly> mwe: yeah i have a little knowledge of vi
[02:42] <nathan> there is a handy vi cheat sheet
[02:42] <mwe> aqau_inter_fly: nano is more friendly for quick edits if you're not used to vi
[02:42] <Nekow42> :q always worked for me, maybe I'm lazy leaving off the !
[02:43] <tuliomgui> please somebody help me
[02:43] <mwe> Nekow42: not if you changed something it wont let you quit then
[02:43] <nathan> Nekow42, that only works if no changes have been mae
[02:43] <nathan> d
[02:43] <Nekow42> lol, ok then
[02:43] <moonunit> is there a way to tell firefox to use the mplayer plugin as opposed to totem?
[02:44] <nathan> i highly recommend you print this out in colour: http://gigazine.net/img/2006/03/31/vi_vim_graphical_cheat_sheet/vi-vim-cheat-sheet.gif
[02:44] <mcherm> tuliomgui: I am *NOT* an expert... I'm here for help myself. But I once had success running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg", then accepting the default options for everything OTHER than the list of resolutions. I make NO guarantees this will work for anyone else.
[02:44] <aqau_inter_fly> mwe: shouldn't there also be a line about iface eth0 inet dhcp like auto eth0?
[02:44] <Nekow42> tuliomgui: You want to edit your x config file, which I suck at doing
[02:45] <kbrosnan> moonunit, you would need to remove the totem plugins
[02:45] <mwe> aqau_inter_fly: you don't want it to auto dhcp that as well. it will just hang for a while before continuing if it's not connected
[02:45] <moonunit> kbrosnan, i did, but firefox still trys to use totem
[02:45] <mwe> aqau_inter_fly: if you ever need it just type ifup eth0
[02:45] <moonunit> so i removed totem all toghter, but it still tries for it
[02:45] <kbrosnan> moonunit, type about:plugins in the address bar
[02:46] <aqau_inter_fly> mwe: okay
[02:46] <tuliomgui> is there any other way?
[02:46] <AndyCooll> moonunit: have you installed the mplayer plugin?
[02:46] <tuliomgui> i have insalled the driver but it doesnt allow me to do upgrade
[02:46] <moonunit> AndyCooll, yes
[02:46] <aqau_inter_fly> mwe: want me to post it again so you can check it?
[02:47] <Ropechoborra> How do i change the grub menu image??
[02:47] <moonunit> kbrosnan, there all yes
[02:47] <Xenguy> nathan: nice :-)
[02:47] <mwe> moonlite: you need to remove the symlink in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins and/or ~/.mozilla/plugins
[02:47] <Nekow42> tuliomgui: Yes, but it is largely dependant on your video card make/model
[02:47] <kbrosnan> moonunit, are the totem plugins still listed?
[02:47] <nathan> Ropechoborra, /boot/grub/menu.lst
[02:47] <moonunit> yeah
[02:47] <mwe> moonlite: or ~/.mozilla/firefox/plugins
[02:47] <Ropechoborra> nathan what do i do there?
[02:48] <moonunit> mwe, its moonunit
[02:48] <moonunit> :P
[02:48] <nathan> Ropechoborra, look around, and RTFM
[02:48] <z0r1> Is there a page with a list of wifi tools and other security related software for ubuntu?
[02:48] <mwe> moonunit: oh yes
[02:48] <mwe> damn nick completion :)
[02:48] <moonunit> kbrosnan, yes its still listed
[02:48] <Vilkacis> mwe: OK, I have run into a problem. I have created a user, and I am attempting to give that user all schema privledges for a certain schema. But when I hit 'apply changes', it says that it is a duplicate user.
[02:48] <aqau_inter_fly> mwe: okasy, i guess not...  im going to reboot to see if this works
[02:49] <mwe> Vilkacis: what are you using to do this?
[02:49] <yahn> can anyone help me out with a pear installation?  It created the .so that I need and I have my extension_dir pointed to the directory that file is in, but its still not being loaded.  Does anyone know what else I need to do?
[02:49] <Vilkacis> mwe: The MySQL Administrator.
[02:49] <__mikem> nathan, if you don't know how to answer a question DON'T harass the newbies, and never say RTFM, we are better than that in here
[02:49] <moonunit> mwe, so what do you suggest i do?
[02:49] <mwe> Vilkacis: oh I'm not to familiar with that. I always use grant ...
[02:50] <nathan> __mikem, unless someone asks a specific question, how else can you answer it....
[02:50] <moonunit> im sure theres a really easy terminal command that tell firefox not to use totem
[02:50] <moonunit> but i sure dont know it
[02:50] <Vilkacis> mwe: I do not know what grant is..
[02:50] <kbrosnan> no there is not
[02:50] <mwe> moonunit: remove the symlinks if they are present
[02:50] <mcherm> Trying again. Looking for help with wireless networking. My card used to work, but has stopped. It works in windows, so it's not hardware. I've tried everything I know (which isn't much) and I'm looking for suggestions of what to try next.
[02:50] <__mikem> He asked how to modify the boot splash screen, how much more specific do you want
[02:50] <moonunit> mwe, how?
[02:50] <mwe> Vilkacis: it's a mysql statement
[02:50] <nathan> __mikem, blah, ok
[02:50] <moonunit> mwe, if you can, #moonunit
[02:51] <piwi> hi there
[02:51] <viator> if your card used to work
[02:51] <Nekow42> Is it a font issue?
[02:51] <viator> did you upgrade the kernel
[02:51] <mwe> Vilkacis: if you login to mysql as root you can grant all privileges on foo.* to bar. however the gui should be able to do the same
[02:51] <kbrosnan> moonunit, type about:config in the address bar find plugin.expose_full_path and set it to true and go back to about:plugins
[02:51] <Broadcast> Hey
[02:51] <piwi> Look I was browsing youtube for videos when I had one running and opened another one in a tab in forefox. then the sound just ceased functionning. either on youtube or when playing a mp3 in kaffeine... whats going on?
[02:52] <mcherm> viator: I do not believe so. But I may have changed a config setting... I connected to someone else's network. I'm not sure what I changed (if anything).
[02:52] <Broadcast> Hey, i need help
[02:52] <Broadcast> serious help
[02:52] <kbrosnan> moonunit, it will give you the full path to the directory that the plugin is stored, be sure to re-set plugin.expose_full_path to false as it is a mild security risk
[02:52] <nathan> picket, maybe want to try a sound daemon, such as esd
[02:52] <piwi> Broadcast: just go for it baby
[02:52] <viator> the  latest update upgraded the kernel
[02:52] <viator> which may be the reason as well
[02:52] <nathan> piwi, maybe want to try a sound daemon, such as esd
[02:52] <mwe> gotta reboot, brb
[02:52] <Nekow42> piwi: That happens if a program tries to use alsa or oss at the same time as using the gnome sound server
[02:53] <shawarma> I'm trying to install a new system with debootstrap (only ssh access to the box)... I used to do the debootstrap and the base-config and that pretty much took care of everything. Now that base-config is empty in Dapper is there a similar way to do it?
[02:53] <piwi> nathan: could you give me more details?
[02:53] <viator> try when you boot choosing the old kernel from the list
[02:53] <piwi> Nekow42: what shall I do then?
[02:53] <Broadcast> ok, gaim crashes, cant install wine
[02:53] <khoda> Hi everyone. I'm having a problem. I put in the desktop cd and it gets to the orange logo with UBUNTU on it and a maroon background and it just stops. I think it's a gfx driver problem. Anyone know what I can do ? (first timer)
[02:53] <Broadcast> dont know how to install any package
[02:53] <Broadcast> wine gives me that
[02:53] <Broadcast> wine:
[02:53] <Broadcast>   Depends: libartsc0 (>=1.5.2-0) but 1.4.3-0ubuntu1 is to be installed
[02:53] <Broadcast>   Depends: libasound2 (>1.0.10) but 1.0.9-2 is to be installed
[02:53] <Broadcast>   Depends: libgcc1 (>=1:4.0.2) but 1:4.0.1-4ubuntu9 is to be installed
[02:53] <Broadcast>   Depends: libglib2.0-0 (>=2.10.0) but 2.8.3-0ubuntu1 is to be installed
[02:53] <nathan> piwi, flash support in linux sucks its a complete pain, hopefully someone has an aswer for this :)
[02:53] <Broadcast>   Depends: libstdc++6 (>=4.0.2-4) but 4.0.1-4ubuntu9 is to be installed
[02:53] <Broadcast>   Depends: libxml2 (>=2.6.24) but 2.6.21-0ubuntu1 is to be installed
[02:53] <piwi> Broadcast: gaim is crap. go to add/remove programs in applications and install kopete
[02:53] <Broadcast> and gaim just crashes as soon as i sign in
[02:53] <Broadcast> kopete
[02:53] <mcherm> viator: hmm... I don't have multiple kernel versions showing when I boot. I do have multiple copies of the SAME version showing (and I've never been sure why).
[02:53] <Nekow42> piwi: Are you getting no sound at all?
[02:53] <Broadcast> got it
[02:54] <piwi> Nekow42: no sound at all since then
[02:54] <__mikem> !paste
[02:54] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[02:54] <MenZa> !paste > Broadcast
[02:54] <MenZa> Damn you __mikem
[02:54] <nathan> Broadcast, apt name, like a multicast packet.. pastebin !paste
[02:54] <Broadcast> sorry :$
[02:54] <Nekow42> piwi: try "killall esd" and restart firefox
[02:54] <khoda> Hi everyone. I'm having a problem. I put in the desktop cd and it gets to the orange logo with UBUNTU on it and a maroon background and it just stops. I think it's a gfx driver problem. Anyone know what I can do ? (first timer). btw the logo looks really sketchy (bad gfx) and i never get to the desktop. it just hangs
[02:54] <piwi> Nekow42: esd is the sound daemon?
[02:55] <Nekow42> piwi: Yeah, it'll restart itself if it's needed again
[02:55] <__mikem> hehe beat you to it MenZa
[02:55] <nathan> piwi, if you run something like 'lsof |grep dsp' you will see what is locking the sound card
[02:55] <viator> when you say it wont work is it that  it wont connect
[02:55] <Nekow42> piwi: Also, if you're running KDE programs, you might want to stop them from using artsd
[02:55] <viator> is the harware seen by the system atleast
[02:56] <mcherm> viator: correct. If you know of particular tests to perform, I can certainly do that. For example: how would I know if "the hardware is seen by the system"?
[02:56] <dan> #lycitus
[02:56] <Nekow42> piwi: do a killall artsd while your at it
[02:56] <piwi> Nekow42: yeah im using quite a few kde progs... how do i prevent them from using artsd?
[02:56] <nathan> piwi, 'lsof |grep snd' sorry
[02:56] <Rikkimaru> I can't get any sound out of my laptop.  Could someone help me?
[02:56] <viator> do lspci crom the cli
[02:56] <viator> or
[02:56] <Nekow42> piwi: Just set them not to, it's different for every program
[02:57] <piwi> nathan: mixer_app 4907       piwi   35u      CHR      116,0                8400 /dev/snd/controlC0
[02:57] <piwi> Nekow42: okay, will that prevent them from playing any sound?
[02:57] <nathan> piwi, ok that won't lock it....
[02:57] <Nekow42> piwi: If there is a esd output plugin for any of them, switch to that
[02:57] <viator> or look under system >administration> networking
[02:57] <khoda> Hi everyone. I'm having a problem. I put in the desktop cd and it gets to the orange logo with UBUNTU on it and a maroon background and it just stops. I think it's a gfx driver problem. Anyone know what I can do ? (first timer). btw the logo looks really sketchy (bad gfx) and i never get to the desktop. it just hangs
[02:57] <piwi> nathan: but i already killed esd and artsd that might be why
[02:58] <piwi> Nekow42: ok thanks for the advice
[02:58] <Nekow42> piwi: If not, use the alsa or oss output
[02:58] <eduardo> hi
[02:58] <eduardo> Hey who are all u ppl
[02:58] <viator> from the gui
[02:58] <mcherm> Viator: Going with the GUI option for now, it shows my ethernet connection (which I'm using now) my wireless connection (not active, since I deactivated it to go online) and modem connection (not active 'cause I don't use it).
[02:58] <eduardo> are u real ppl
[02:58] <Rikkimaru> I can't get any sound out of my laptop.  Could someone help me?
[02:58] <nathan> piwi, did you restart firefox? pkill -9 firefox
[02:58] <eduardo> yes
[02:58] <mcherm> eduardo: yes.
[02:58] <Rikkimaru> nd
[02:58] <eduardo> i can
[02:59] <piwi> Nekow42, nathan: still nothing
[02:59] <piwi> nathan: ijust closed it and reopened it, its not enough?
[02:59] <nathan> piwi, something must still be using the device
[02:59] <jjohn> hello all
[03:00] <Nekow42> piwi: Do a killall on firefox too
[03:00] <eduardo> hello
[03:00] <jjohn> any one help me with vlc please
[03:00] <mcherm> viator: if I go to "properties" it correctly shows the ESSID... not sure how much that means.
[03:00] <nathan> Nekow42, sendning KILL will do that anyway :)
[03:00] <telliott> I have a question about networking.
[03:01] <piwi> Nekow42: firefox: no process killed
[03:01] <nathan> telliott, shoot
[03:01] <Broadcast> Hey, how do i mount ntfs on ubuntu
[03:01] <piwi> nathan: the question is what is using the device
[03:01] <Nekow42> piwi: killall firefox-bin too
[03:01] <viator> mine did too when it didnt work
[03:01] <eduardo> hello
[03:01] <gemidjy> where do I find the ISO with the codecs and stuff that is as additional CD for Dapper Drake?
[03:01] <nathan> piwi, did lsod only show mixer_pp
[03:01] <piwi> Nekow42: no process killed
[03:01] <mcherm> viator: hang on... maybe it's NOT the right ESSID.     I can access my Windows network with no trouble but on Windows XP, I can't figure out how to see my shared (fat32) on the Ubuntu machine.
[03:03] <mcherm> viator: wow... that was easy!
[03:03] <Nekow42> piwi: Then what is not getting sound?
[03:03] <eduardo> im not sure about all of this
[03:03] <piwi> eduardo: nope im using win xp pro :D
[03:03] <viator> lol
[03:03] <eduardo> really
[03:03] <viator> it was the essid
[03:03] <eduardo> kool
[03:03] <nathan> telliott, is it shared as a windows share or on a local hard drive
[03:03] <aqau_inter_fly> broadcast: i'm pretty sure taht you can't mount ntfs in ubuntu, you may have to convert your windows to FAT32
[03:03] <aqau_inter_fly> broadcast: but i'm not 100% sure
[03:03] <Cynical> I seem to be having a problem getting my intel drivers installed
[03:03] <piwi> Nekow42: kaffeine doesnt make any sound when trying a mp3, firefox on youtube is also mute
[03:03] <eduardo> piwi
[03:03] <mcherm> viator: I spent 3 hours on this yesterday, and somehow failed to realize that the essid was misspelled (it's almost the same at my house and my parent's).
[03:04] <nathan> Broadcast, NTFS can be mounted as readonly due to microshaft patents
[03:04] <aqau_inter_fly> mwe: are you still there?

[03:05] <aqau_inter_fly> did anyone see when MWE left
[03:06] <raskolnikov> i dont think i put enough when i partitioned the first time

[03:06] <ubotu> I last saw mwe<EMAIL_ADDRESS>13m 25s ago, quiting: "Leaving"

[03:06] <Cynical> I have tried that
[03:06] <Cynical> lemme try again
[03:06] <raskolnikov> how exactly Nekow42 ?
[03:06] <Jp2`> does anyone have an idea what could be doing this or a simple thing i have to do to fix it

[03:08] <aro-ron> evening all
[03:08] <eduardo> hi
[03:08] <Sgeo> How do I get Flash player 9?
[03:08] <Nekow42> telliott: Can you narrow it down a bit more?
[03:08] <aro-ron> I got a hardware question that has been bugging me, any of you feel up to it?
[03:08] <Nekow42> Sgeo: Step 1 is wait for Adobe to release it
[03:08] <abonilla> HI, anyone knows if there is a way to use Rythmbox or any app to download the songs from the Ipod to the PC?
[03:09] <Sgeo> grr
[03:09] <aqau_inter_fly> Sgeo: you should be able to get it from adobe website
[03:09] <abonilla> with the ID3 ;-)
[03:09] <aqau_inter_fly> Sgeo: if they released it for linux yet
[03:09] <Nekow42> abonilla: you want gtkpod
[03:09] <Cynical> the file is designed for suse... there are no others
[03:09] <aro-ron> I have a 1600 series compa presario laptop I want to put Ubuntu on, well Xubuntu anyways... but it seems the fan has stopped working
[03:09] <piwi> Nekow42: any ideas? I just dont want to reboot because I will never know what caused this bug
[03:09] <abonilla> Nekow42: does that also downloads the songs? Doesn't that only uploads them to the IPOD?
[03:10] <aro-ron> I saw on the fourums taht some people with compaqs had BIOS issues that caused the fan to stop working
[03:10] <Cynical> but suse is based on linux so it *should* still work without YAST
[03:10] <Nekow42> abonilla: It breaks the filename, but you can use it to cope them from the iPod with tags
[03:10] <nathan> abonilla, ipodder is your friend
[03:10] <piwi> aro-ron: my laptop has no fan at all inside and is fine for ubuntu xp pro and games
[03:10] <aro-ron> but the fant wont work in windows either right now
[03:10] <dash> can anybody suggest a winamp-esque media player that isn't xmms?
[03:10] <abonilla> nathan: thanks
[03:10] <gean> HELP PLEASE : How can i tell the mashine (after failed Ubuntu upgrade to 6.06 from 5.10) to properly redetect the (inter)net ?! i have just a console... (no x)! And the ubuntu-6.06-alter distribution
[03:10] <piwi> dash: kaffeine
[03:10] <Cynical> dash xmms
[03:10] <nathan> abonilla, ignore me, that was wrong  :)
[03:10] <aro-ron> piwi, this lappy has a AMD k6, it runs HOT

[03:10] <kansuu5345> Anyone got, DWL-G122 A1 work on Ubuntu Linux?
[03:10] <telliott> What do I need to do in Windows XP to see my shared drive?
[03:10] <Nekow42> piwi: What caused it is easy. artsd warring with esd, plus flash acting retarded
[03:10] <dash> Cynical :: nice one
[03:10] <piwi> aro-ron: sorry :(
[03:10] <abonilla> nathan: why?
[03:10] <aro-ron> piwi, sok
[03:11] <stuart> hay
[03:11] <Cynical> nothing wrong with xmms is there?
[03:11] <piwi> Nekow42: so ther is nothing i can du but reboot?
[03:11] <abonilla> nathan: wrong cause I can copy the mp3?
[03:11] <aro-ron> I just didnt know if it COULD possibly be the BIOS screwing with me, or what
[03:11] <aro-ron> I have a new fan on the way anyways
[03:11] <Nekow42> piwi: try log out/log in first
[03:11] <Cynical> my sound will never sork on this so I can't use these things anyway
[03:11] <nathan> abonilla, maybe try installing 'ipod' but im an iriver user so maybe not
[03:11] <dash> Cynical :: I just don't like it much
[03:11] <dash> perhaps it doesn't fit in with gnome well or something, but most of the menus etc are poorly made IMO
[03:11] <piwi> Nekow42: brb
[03:11] <Nekow42> piwi: Then if that fails, ctrl-alt-bksp
[03:12] <abonilla> I installed Ubuntu with Flight5, I'm only able to boot on the HD if I boot with the CD and then tell it to boot on the first HD. Any ideas?
[03:12] <Cynical> any other ideas nathan?
[03:12] <Nekow42> piwi: then full reboot
[03:12] <helpmemysql> i need some help with phpmyadmin, im me if you can help pls

[03:15] <reccan> How can I make a gmail web-browser window popup instead of evolution when I press a mailto: link?
[03:15] <piwi> Nekow42: yeah but its annoying, also video and sound are not synchronised while browsing youtube
[03:15] <nathan> Cynical, have you read the README in there? 'less README'
[03:15] <something_else> now changing permissions doesnt seem to make a difference
[03:16] <Cynical> yes
[03:16] <Nekow42> piwi: Never had that issue, but rest assured, it's flash being a little... unintelligent
[03:16] <nathan> Cynical, no clues?
[03:16] <Cynical> it tells me how to untar
[03:16] <Cynical> then tells me to use YAST
[03:16] <Cynical> nothing more
[03:17] <nathan> Cynical, im not familar with the contents of that directory im affraid
[03:17] <nathan> Cynical, 'less BUILD' ?
[03:17] <Cynical> there isn't a specific debian/ubuntu pkg for this driver
[03:18] <viator> to get gmail to popup you need a script
[03:18] <viator> or maybe theres an extension?
[03:18] <nathan> viator, apt-get install gmail-notify
[03:19] <reccan> Don't think so... but in Windows Gmail Notifier can set up the settings for you so you come to gmail when you press a link
[03:19] <piwi> Nekow42: well ok I guess there is nothing to do but wait for improvements
[03:19] <Nekow42> piwi: Bug adobe, lol
[03:19] <Cynical> omg
[03:19] <Cynical> I feel stupid
[03:19] <Cynical> it says how to build it
[03:19] <nathan> Cynical, never a good feeling :)
[03:20] <Cynical> too bad it also asks for an archaic version of xserver
[03:21] <thetruth> how can I create a encrypted filsystem and hard drive?
[03:21] <thetruth> anyone know?
[03:22] <Kyral> ArchLinux's Wiki has a nice tutorial
[03:22] <userundefine> There are several HOWTOs on the forums
[03:22] <userundefine> for encryption, thetruth

[03:24] <wheels3572> I believe

[03:25] <[Nige] > hi all, I want to set up a pxe boot menu, any ideas on how to do this?
[03:25] <holycow> there are no updates for ubuntu

[03:25] <thetruth> userundefine: :)
[03:25] <thetruth> userundefine: lucky guess ;)
[03:25] <l33t> Update Manager is supposed to find updates for any packages you have installed, correct?
[03:25] <holycow> if there are no security patches ... that is exactly what you want
[03:25] <holycow> patches mean vulnerabilities
[03:25] <something_else> why does this occur? chcon: can't apply partial context to unlabeled file
[03:25] <Nekow42> l33t: If today they found zero-day GTK vulnrability, tomorrow you'd se an update
[03:26] <l33t> Update Manager is supposed to find updates for any packages you have installed, correct?
[03:26] <nathan> [Nige] , tftpd and the boot files required, dhcp aswel ofcourse
[03:26] <Flav> there are updates!  when the next version ships :)

[03:26] <l33t> I know, but I would think there would be some updates for some of them atleast

[03:27] <l33t> no
[03:27] <Flav> does dapper have any kind of "automatically fetch and install security updates" support (even if it's just a commented-out crontab entry for root to update && upgrade)
[03:27] <holycow> jesus, there are no updates, just security patches
[03:27] <nathan> [Nige] , you need to specify 'filename' and 'next-server'
[03:28] <holycow> no security patches is a good thing

[03:28] <eugman> Is there a way to convert mpg to gif?
[03:28] <holycow> there are no package updates l33t
[03:28] <holycow> none
[03:28] <Samineru> question, often when my computer starts to get hot it autoshuts off can i set it to give me a warning and like a 30 second delay beforehand
[03:28] <l33t> why?
[03:28] <holycow> once ubuntu goes stable there are NO UPDATES until next release
[03:28] <holycow> because that is the way its done
[03:28] <Nekow42> l33t: Yes, the updates and security updates are done the same way
[03:28] <shiv> thanks all
[03:29] <Flav> eugman: i'd guess that convert from imagemagick could do that
[03:29] <l33t> Nekow42: so I am surprised there are no updates in days
[03:29] <nathan> [Nige] , something like pxe-inst/pxelinux.0 for filename which is relitive to your tftp root directory
[03:29] <jjohn> can any one help with dvd playbavk in VLC please??
[03:29] <l33t> Nekow42: in Fedora Core they had updates nearly every single day
[03:29] <mjr> eugman, at least you can dump the mpg into separate images with something like mplayer and then gather the images into a gif animation
[03:29] <eugman> Flav, Oh so imagick can handle image files and movie files?
[03:29] <redcard> l33t: So?
[03:29] <[Nige] > nathan, pardon?
[03:29] <Nekow42> l33t: l33t Fedora Core is a 5 disk distro...
[03:29] <holycow> l33t, then go use fedore
[03:30] <gean> spades : u're GREAT ! Thanks, i can maybe finally reinstall the broken x system from the net ! That's my rescue for the small world of my laptop ! Thanks !
