[07:00] <willys_fueguino> kyja: try with oem user and the passwd you used in the install
[07:00] <sethk> kyja, so don't you have a user name and password?  the user name and password of the new user you created?
[07:00] <kyja> instll scratch
[07:00] <MrWoo> mindmedic, yea, i'm trying to avoid that, i'd really just prefert to get my wireless card working
[07:00] <sethk> kyja, you have the password you set, and the user name for which you set the password
[07:00] <kyja> right installer only asks to make password. not a user
[07:01] <squee> is it a problem if i have to disable apic to boot?
[07:01] <MrWoo> mind medic, i have the windows drivers for the card with me on a cd, somebody told me something about like an ndiwrapper or something
[07:01] <sethk> kyja, oh, that sounds like a bug.  Someone said the user name is oem
[07:01] <MrWoo> mindmedic, could i use that
[07:01] <Warbo> Could it possibly be a password for root?
[07:01] <sethk> kyja, so try oem, with the password you set
[07:01] <kyja> oh !!
[07:01] <kyja> oem I will try
[07:01] <mindmedic> MrWoo: do that first and then enjoy updating via network...
[07:01] <kyja> thx alot
[07:01] <MrWoo> mindmedic, how do i do that
[07:01] <mindmedic> MrWoo: some cards work using ndiswrapper
[07:01] <richiefrich> kyja try  root  too
[07:01] <the_empty> shrift, thanks- I nabbed the .deb rather than adding the repo
[07:01] <kyja> k
[07:01] <sethk> Warbo, in breezy the expert install has you set the root password and a password for a user.  Not sure about 6.06 alternate, haven't done an install that way.
[07:01] <willys_fueguino> kyja:  the default user name in the instalation is oem
[07:01] <mindmedic> which chipset have you got?
[07:02] <richiefrich> willys_fueguino thats qute dumb.. imo
[07:02] <kyja> =]  you saved my hair guys.
[07:02] <Warbo> sethk: I upgraded a Breezy to a Dapper, and installed a Dapper using desktop CD, so I don't know either
[07:02] <willys_fueguino> richiefrich: what thing??
[07:02] <MrWoo> mindmedic, let me see if i can find out
[07:02] <sethk> willys_fueguino, I'm looking up how you use the ACM device
[07:02] <soheil> hi room
[07:03] <richiefrich> willys_fueguinothe default user name in the instalation is oem  <-- that u should be allowed to make your own
[07:03] <sethk> Warbo, ok.  If kyja tried oem, and it worked, I guess the name is oem   :)
[07:03] <richiefrich> why set a default
[07:03] <shrift> the_empty: sure.
[07:03] <sethk> thanks willys_fueguino for the user name
[07:03] <soheil> any1 here has done and GUI staff using ubuntu?
[07:03] <sethk> richiefrich, I agree, a default user name is bizarre.
[07:03] <sethk> richiefrich, but apparently that's what it does, so ...
[07:03] <richiefrich> sethk no dumb
[07:03] <kyja> I will tell you in a few minutes. ok =]  I tried running installer again and is still installing.
[07:03] <willys_fueguino> richiefrich: in the alternate cd when you install in the oem mode thats the user wich installs the ubuntu..
[07:03] <mindmedic> MrWoo: if your card is not recognized already, find out what card it is and google for it... i made sure my cards work before i bought them, so I don't know anything about ndiswrapper, wlan-ng, etc.
[07:04] <shrift> waspius: ok try this: sudo apt-get install x-window-system-dev then run the ./configure again.
[07:04] <soheil> any1 here has done and GUI staff using ubuntu?
[07:04] <trappist> soheil: what?
[07:04] <tmccrary> I need to reinstall cups completely, with stock config files and everything. How do I do this? I've tried apt-get --reinstall install cupsys and dpkg-reconfigure cupsys but it won't nuke everything
[07:04] <soheil> how ro do GUI program using ubuntu?
[07:04] <waspius> shrift: couldnt find package
[07:04] <Warbo> An OEM system asks for username and password after it has been installed, so the computer can be sold preinstalled and the user sets it up themselves. However, if tweaks are needed by the vendor then having an oem user seems sensible
[07:04] <soheil> how ro do GUI program using ubuntu?
[07:04] <MrWoo> mindmedic, well ubuntu actually sees the card, i went into hardware manager and it sees the card there, it knows its a belkin 45G
[07:04] <MrWoo> *54g
[07:04] <willys_fueguino> richiefrich: and when you first boot lets you make the users but if xserver fails you can't make the users
[07:04] <tuxtux> bye bye
[07:04] <soheil> how ro do GUI program using ubuntu?
[07:04] <trappist> soheil: please stop repeating yourself.
[07:04] <Warbo> soheil: You want to program a GUI?
[07:04] <richiefrich> willys_fueguino so u must then go del him and then make a new one once u boot.. that seems so logical to me ..  *sarcasm*
[07:05] <mindmedic> i think that card works out of the box...
[07:05] <soheil> a program that uses GUI
[07:05] <mindmedic> can you connect to wlans using the network manager?
[07:05] <sethk> Warbo, someone is going to install ubuntu and not tell the person buying the computer how to log in?
[07:05] <soheil> like windows, menus,..
[07:05] <Warbo> soheil: Check out Glade and Gazpacho
[07:05] <sethk> Warbo, that's useless, because without the password, having the user name is worthless
[07:05] <the_empty> soheil ask your real question don't dance around it
[07:05] <kyja> I this laptop I have running bcm4306 but it only works with 11M. but thats ok for now.
[07:05] <Warbo> soheil: Or even Gambas
[07:05] <tmccrary> is it even possible in ubuntu?
[07:05] <MrWoo> mindmedic, thats the thing i can't do, when i go into my network manager, it shows my eth0 interface and my IEE1384, but not my wireless
[07:06] <shrift> waspius: how is that working?
[07:06] <kyja> did you try iwconfig
[07:06] <sethk> soheil, there are several different packages.  the primary underlying libraries are gtk++ and qt.
[07:06] <Warbo> sethk: No, I mean that after the computer is set up and installed, the person takes it home, turns it on and then is asked for their password
[07:06] <sethk> soheil, gnome is built on gtk++, and kde is built on qt
[07:06] <Warbo> (well, username, password, details, etc.)
[07:06] <mindmedic> well are there any wlans around for you to connect...
[07:06] <willys_fueguino> richiefrich: it's oem@ubuntu $ sudo oem-config-prepare then reboot and automaticly erases that user and lets you create your user but thats only if the xserver works fine
[07:06] <MrWoo> yea
[07:06] <sethk> Warbo, they are asked for the user name and password, not just the password
[07:06] <waspius> shrift: it says no couldnt find package
[07:06] <kyja> woot
[07:06] <gnomefreak> tmccrary: sudo apt-get remove --pruge
[07:06] <MrWoo> i'm using the WLAN right now, my computer is set up to dual boot and i'm on my XP
[07:06] <gnomefreak> oops
[07:06] <shrift> hmmmm
[07:07] <gnomefreak> sudo apt-get remove --purge
[07:07] <the_empty> tmccrary, try apt-get --purge cupsys;
[07:07] <sethk> gnomefreak, pruge?
[07:07] <sethk> :)
[07:07] <mindmedic> have you left-clicked on the network-manager icon or right-clicked
[07:07] <gnomefreak> :)
[07:07] <mindmedic> that was my error once :)
[07:07] <the_empty> err with the remove in it, sorry
[07:07] <MrWoo> mindmedic, left clicked i guess
[07:07] <MrWoo> mindmedic, i mean i got in there
[07:08] <Warbo> sethk: Yes, but DURING the install only the password is asked for, since the OEM vendor is not going to be using the computer, the user is. But in case they need to alter the setup (drivers, etc) then a default user "oem" is made, and to keep the system secure it asks the vendor for a password. Then the customer never sees that account
[07:08] <shrift> waspius: try libx11-dev
[07:08] <MrWoo> mindmedic, will something different happen if i right click
[07:08] <mindmedic> well, one thing i dont like about the network manager applet is the huge difference of a left or right click.
[07:08] <kyja> =]  makes sence indeed. we would be our own oem
[07:08] <willys_fueguino> sethk: you saw the pastebin??
[07:08] <kyja> thats cool
[07:08] <squee> is it a bad thing if i have to turn off apic to boot while installing ubuntu?
[07:08] <sethk> Warbo, I still say, since you have to give the password to someone, there is no advantage in giving only the password rather than the user name and password
[07:09] <lnx^_> hiya
[07:09] <MrWoo> mindmedic, so i should right click on the applet when starting it?
[07:09] <lnx^_> how do I convert .3gp -> .avi?
[07:09] <sethk> willys_fueguino, yes, I'm looking up how to use it.  You need to install a package; I'm trying to find which one.
[07:09] <shrift> waspius: did that work?
[07:09] <mindmedic> MrWoo: look in the wiki for your card... if there are problems with it i'm sure its the best place to get them solved... left-click shows available networks
[07:09] <selinuxium> Hi all, I am trying to configure xdmcp but now the login via xdmcp has disappeared... Any ideas?
[07:09] <Warbo> lnx^: There is a QT tool for that I think on kdeapps.org (I think that is the right address)
[07:09] <soheil> :((abudhabichess requiers IE
[07:09] <willys_fueguino> sethk: I'll be eternaly grateful
[07:09] <MrWoo> mindmedic, i can't click on the card period
[07:09] <siratik000> Help, how do I figure out if someone is "calling" the phone line my modem is on?
[07:10] <sethk> willys_fueguino, I'm looking, but I can't promise I'll find it.  I have breezy here but not dapper.
[07:10] <Warbo> siratik000: Pick it up?
[07:10] <lnx^> Warbo: works in gnome too?
[07:10] <park_canada> can u tell me how to change my computer name ?
[07:10] <Warbo> lnx^: Yes, but obviously uses a QT theme
[07:10] <lnx^> and it's kde-apps.org AFAIK
[07:10] <mindmedic> if your laptop has a hardware on/off switch make sure it is enabled too...
[07:10] <park_canada> if u did im sorry i missed it..
[07:10] <mindmedic> what do you mean by click on the card?
[07:10] <Warbo> park_canada: "sudo hostname"
[07:10] <shrift> waspius: and try xserver-xorg-core xserver-xorg-dev        you're using dapper right?
[07:10] <MrWoo> mindmedic, i'm on a desktop
[07:10] <mindmedic> i am talking about the networkmanager icon in the system tray
[07:10] <siratik000> Warbo: How do i know when to pick it u if i don't know if its ringing?
[07:11] <siratik000> And worse yet, I have to figure this out from the command line
[07:11] <shrift> waspius: also xorg-dev
[07:11] <park_canada> roy@roy-desktop:~$ sudo hostname neta
[07:11] <park_canada> roy@roy-desktop:~$ sudo hostname
[07:11] <park_canada> sudo: unable to lookup neta via gethostbyname()
[07:11] <MrWoo> mindmedic, when i go click on the network manager icon to start it up, i go in, and there is not choice for my wireless card
[07:11] <waspius> shrift: the same error shows up
[07:11] <shrift> waspius: ok try xorg-dev too
[07:11] <willys_fueguino> richiefrich: You used the alternate cd even once??
[07:12] <shrift> waspius: andyou are using dapper right?
[07:12] <lnx^> Warbo: can it convert both FROM 3gp and TO 3gp?
[07:12] <richiefrich> willys_fueguino no i just find ikt odd
[07:12] <richiefrich> it*
[07:12] <jdt> hi
[07:12] <mindmedic> better set your card up then and make sure "iwconfig" shows wireless extensions for your card
[07:12] <MrWoo> whats iwconfig
[07:12] <Warbo> lnx^: I can't remember. I think it was mainly to, but could also do from. I forget what it was called ("3gpwiz" or something)
[07:12] <Apeiron> could someone give me the .ko kernel module from dazuko for ubuntu or help me to compile my own? thx in advance for help :)
[07:12] <MrWoo> yea i don't think my card is set up
[07:13] <shrift> waspius: so you have xorg-dev installed now? and you are using dapper, right?
[07:13] <Daniel0> hey, i installed the things on this page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=226298 for testing, but i can't figure out how to remove it again. can somebody help me?

[07:14] <willys_fueguino> *to use it
[07:14] <mindmedic> MrWoo: when you type iwconfig in a console it shows which network interface has wireless extensions
[07:14] <MrWoo> awesome, thanks i'll try that out, be back in a bit
[07:14] <CheetahMk2> Is there any way to get Xorg 7.1 working on Dapper? Any repos or anything like that for a .deb package

[07:22] <baskew> =]
[07:23] <ArisTos> hello
[07:23] <waspius> shrift: should i uninstall the packages i installed?previously?
[07:23] <drezha> thought it installed as deafult when you installed ubuntu
[07:23] <trygvea1> windows has overwritten it
[07:23] <shrift> waspius: also try xlibs-dev    No leave all the packages installed, they will not hurt anything.
[07:24] <ArisTos> fresh ubuntu installed on notebook. The problem is the console fonts looks bad with subpixel smoothing... any advice?
[07:24] <lookt> CheetahMk2: Eth1 has wireless extension
[07:25] <CheetahMk2> Hm.. that's odd. Oh well, I guess run with that.
[07:25] <Orasis1> Windows on a 3d cube?, .. :)) wow, a pure eyecandy window manager..
[07:25] <CheetahMk2> You know that networking thingie in the upper right corner?
[07:25] <CheetahMk2> double click it. In that box, type Eth0, then click the configure button
[07:25] <siratik000> I need to figure out what number my modem is dialing from HOW to do this!!@$~, I don't have any regular phones (all 6 pin modular jacks). Is there a way to call an ANI number from a modem and record the result from ubuntu-server?
[07:25] <CheetahMk2> er.. Eth1
[07:25] <lookt> CheetahMk2: its connected, but firefox doesnt connect
[07:26] <shrift> waspius: I have to go for a while. Good luck while I am gone.
[07:26] <CheetahMk2> click on 'support'
[07:26] <waspius> shrift: thank you very much|!!!!
[07:26] <CheetahMk2> does it list an IP or anything?
[07:26] <lookt> no
[07:26] <CheetahMk2> Does your wireless access point have a password (WEP, WPA)
[07:26] <lookt> is it a DCHP problem?
[07:27] <CheetahMk2> Maybe
[07:27] <CheetahMk2> but first tell me if your AP has a password/security or not
[07:27] <lookt> No
[07:27] <CheetahMk2> ok, then click the 'configure' button.
[07:27] <CheetahMk2> you'll have to type in your admin password
[07:28] <CheetahMk2> You should see 'wireless connection' 'ethernet connection' and maybe 'modem connection'.
[07:28] <CheetahMk2> What does it say on 'Wireless connection'?
[07:29] <lookt> im on different pc, brb

[07:30] <GoDawgs> CheetahMk2:  thank you.... ok... let me give it a shot
[07:30] <CheetahMk2> wait... I forgot about my question : p

[07:32] <BeBraw> thanks for help fellas
[07:32] <TheGateKeeper_> xyr|x: did you try Ctrl + Alt + F7 ?
[07:32] <JackMacOKC> xyr|x: in the console, run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' first to make sure your xsession is properly configured
[07:32] <GoDawgs> CheetahMk2:  Nothing happend when I ran the command
[07:32] <eyequeue> BeBraw, a symlink?  ln -s foo.sh bar
[07:32] <xyr|x> ctrl alt f7 is blank
[07:33] <xyr|x> jackmacokc : i try that..
[07:33] <GoDawgs> JackMacOKC:  where does one put software?
[07:33] <TheGateKeeper_> xyr|x: worth a try :-)
[07:33] <CheetahMk2> GoDawgs: nothing would happen, you just set permissions on the file
[07:33] <siratik000> How do I foudn out if my modem is installed ?
[07:33] <CheetahMk2> Not all files can be 'run' by default
[07:33] <GoDawgs> CheetahMk2:  To do what?
[07:33] <JackMacOKC> GoDawgs: usually in /usr/local
[07:33] <CheetahMk2> now you type the name of the script, and it *can* run now
[07:33] <erUSUL> !modem > siratik000
[07:33] <GoDawgs> JackMacOKC:  ok...

[07:34] <GoDawgs> JackMacOKC:  It says I dont' have permissions to move it to that folder
[07:35] <siratik000> I told it to look for the modem at ttys0 but i'm not sure if thats where the modem is at
[07:35] <JackMacOKC> GoDawgs: what are you installing?
[07:35] <eyequeue> GoDawgs, $HOME/bin/ is for non-global
[07:35] <siratik000> no its a real modem
[07:35] <lookt> CheetahMk2: it says eth1 is active - which is the wireless extension
[07:35] <GoDawgs> JackMacOKC:  I'm trying to install CrossOver office.
[07:35] <xyr|x> jackmacokc : i've ran that cmd.. will now reboot
[07:35] <GoDawgs> eyequeue:  non-global what?
[07:35] <eyequeue> GoDawgs, /usr/local/bin/ is for global (requiring root)
[07:35] <eyequeue> GoDawgs, apps
[07:35] <GoDawgs> eyequeue:  oh...
[07:35] <CheetahMk2> lookt: ok, now go into the configuration for that one... 'Properties', I think
[07:35] <GoDawgs> then how does one drag and drop a program from one folder to the next?
[07:35] <CheetahMk2> Make sure DHCP is checked
[07:35] <siratik000> So how do I find out if ubuntu can see my modem and use it?
[07:35] <erUSUL> siratik000: sudo echo "ATZ" > /dev/ttyS0
[07:35] <manmadha> how to put the startup task in ubuntu(song) like windows???
[07:36] <JackMacOKC> GoDawgs: yes as he said, if its just for you put it in $HOME somewhere
[07:36] <eyequeue> GoDawgs, so, if you want it global, sudo mv foo /usr/local/bin
[07:36] <lookt> it is
[07:36] <wasauce> anyone here at linuxworld in SF? or does anyone know if there is a linuxworld room?
[07:36] <CheetahMk2> And enter in the SSID of the AP you want
[07:36] <siratik000> erUSUL: nada back
[07:36] <eyequeue> GoDawgs, so, if you want it per-user, mv foo bin/
[07:36] <GoDawgs> JackMacOKC:  ok
[07:36] <GoDawgs> eyequeue:  I only have one user... myself!
[07:36] <erUSUL> siratik000: look at the leds of your modem
[07:36] <lookt> i put lookwire
[07:36] <siratik000> its an internal - non winmodem
[07:36] <gorski> how do i restore the grub menu when i install windows after ubuntu?
[07:37] <siratik000> No lights
[07:37] <JackMacOKC> gorski: grub-install
[07:37] <manmadha> how to put the startup task in ubuntu(song) like windows???
[07:37] <lookt> cause that is the name of my router
[07:37] <CheetahMk2> lookt: that should be about it. If your AP had WPA, you'd need to get something called network-manager
[07:37] <GoDawgs> JackMacOKC:  ok, so I have it in my folder... now how do I actually install the bugger?
[07:37] <erUSUL> siratik000: then it should be on ttyS2 or ttyS3. look in dmesg (dmesg | less)
[07:37] <CheetahMk2> lookt: if you ever want a snazzier (but a bit unstable) interface, sudo apt-get instlal network-manager
[07:37] <JackMacOKC> GoDawgs: probably ./foo.sh
[07:37] <CheetahMk2> that has AP scanning and such, but kicks you off a lot
[07:38] <gorski> i suppose i will not have any grub menu when i install windows?
[07:38] <JackMacOKC> i dont use crossover office so i dont know
[07:38] <eyequeue> !grub
[07:38] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[07:38] <manmadha> how to put startup task in ubuntu?
[07:38] <eyequeue> manmadha, man update-rc.d
[07:38] <GoDawgs> JackMacOKC:  ok....
[07:38] <xyr|x> jack : i still cnt boot into the GUI logon
[07:38] <GoDawgs> eyequeue:  do you know how to install CrossOver office?
[07:38] <siratik000> Oh god, its like acronym soup
[07:38] <JackMacOKC> xyr|x: still blank?
[07:38] <manmadha> eyequeue, thank u
[07:38] <lookt> CheetahMk2: when i did "iwconfig" it says missed beacon: 25
[07:39] <eyequeue> GoDawgs, not sure what it is
[07:39] <JackMacOKC> brb
[07:39] <eyequeue> manmadha, no problem
[07:39] <GoDawgs> eyequeue:  the program?   it allows one to run windows apps...
[07:39] <siratik000> erUSUL: How do I read this dmesg | less?
[07:39] <varsendaggr> hey how do i uninstall openoffice2?
[07:39] <xyr|x> jack : not blank.. it automatically went using console.. using tty1
[07:39] <eyequeue> GoDawgs, eww, no desire for that, sorry
[07:39] <GoDawgs> eyequeue:  I don't have the desire either... but it's a necessity at this point.
[07:39] <JackMacOKC> xyr|x: hmm..let me think for a sec
[07:40] <erUSUL> siratik000: type in a terminal the command as is ' dmesg | less' less aloows you to view it one screen at time using the space bar
[07:40] <gorski> how do i restore the grub menu when i install windows after ubuntu?
[07:40] <eyequeue> GoDawgs, don't they have "wine" or something for that?  sudo apt-get install wine
[07:40] <gorski> i suppose i will not have any grub menu when i install windows?
[07:40] <siratik000> what am I looking for here?
[07:40] <eyequeue> !grub > gorski
[07:40] <GoDawgs> eyequeue:  yeah they do... but I don't think it runs illustrator
[07:40] <xyr|x> jack: i can run startx flawlessly..
[07:40] <BeBraw> how can i make programs to automatically execute on startup? i have these gdesklet and checkgmail programs that i would like to open automatically
[07:41] <varsendaggr> GoDawgs, Inkscape is prettty good
[07:41] <gorski> thank you
[07:41] <erUSUL> siratik000: which of the serial lines is the modem bind to there are a few ttySn
[07:41] <BeBraw> GoDawgs: another alternative is xara lx
[07:41] <T`ch> how does ubuntu autocomplete options for a program?
[07:41] <T`ch> like apt-get [tab] [tab]
[07:41] <BeBraw> GoDawgs: perhaps even dtpblender if you are familiar with blender
[07:41] <T`ch> it fills with possible options...
[07:41] <varsendaggr> BeBraw, system administaration services
[07:42] <GoDawgs> varsendaggr:  BeBraw:  thank you.... I'll try that in the future... but right now I'm on a deadline.... haven't got time to learn a new prog
[07:42] <GoDawgs> BeBraw:  no, i'm not unfortunately
[07:42] <siratik000> [42949376.770000]  serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
[07:42] <varsendaggr> BeBraw, Dtpblender also comes hightly reccomended by me.
[07:42] <JackMacOKC> xyr|x: have you made sure gnome is installed? i know it sounds silly, but just thinking out loud... maybe try an apt-cache policy gdm
[07:42] <varsendaggr> BeBraw, it will be cool when they come out witht the traceer
[07:43] <BeBraw> varsendaggr: yup
[07:43] <lookt> CheetahMk2: when i did "iwconfig" it says missed beacon: 25
[07:43] <erUSUL> siratik000: those are the normal serial connectors in the back of the computer
[07:43] <xyr|x> JackMacOKC : gnome works fine before the crash
[07:44] <JackMacOKC> xyr|x: so if you startx it works fine, its just starting automatically?
[07:44] <manmadha> how to find the ip & mac address of the computers with in our network??
[07:44] <treitter> has anyone set up rsync for serving?
[07:44] <xyr|x> JackMacOKC : nope.. manually
[07:44] <JackMacOKC> xyr|x: ok, but it does start fine when done manually, right
[07:44] <xyr|x> JackMacOKC : gdm is not installed.. it went missing
[07:44] <JackMacOKC> sudo apt-get install gdm
[07:44] <TheGateKeeper_> manmadha: ifconfig
[07:45] <xyr|x> JackMacOKC : startx works fine..
[07:45] <JackMacOKC> xyr|x: sudo apt-get install gdm and reboot and see how it goes
[07:45] <treitter> the example rsyncd.conf says "don't use /var/run/rsync.pid for your pid file if you're running it from the init script", but it doesn't say why not
[07:46] <xyr|x> JackMacOKC : aight.. downloading right now..
[07:46] <xyr|x> JackMacOKC : gdm is the GUI boot logom?
[07:46] <JackMacOKC> xyr|x yes
[07:46] <Infecto> hello i`v got problem with ubuntu and grub reinstalation, i install first ubuntu then windows and i`v got prolem with grub, when i`m try to reinstall it from rescue mode it fail
[07:46] <manmadha> TheGateKeeper_, no i want how to trace the ip& mac of the other systems.....?
[07:47] <JackMacOKC> xyr|x: well, its the gnome desktop manager
[07:47] <GoDawgs> so I take it one can not install an SH file in Ubuntu?
[07:47] <CheetahMk2> lookt: It seems I have run into a problem that requires my attention, I think someone else can help from here. Again, try apt-get install network-manager
[07:47] <JackMacOKC> xyr|x: i'm no expert, but i do know its 'needed'
[07:47] <JackMacOKC> GoDawgs: sure you can
[07:47] <GoDawgs> is that right?
[07:47] <erUSUL> GoDawgs: sh file.sh does not work?
[07:47] <Infecto> and when i`m trry to do it manualy it says that file stage1 not read correctly
[07:47] <xyr|x> JackMacOKC : sounds logical to me
[07:47] <GoDawgs> JackMacOKC:  erUSUL let me try that... i just tried install sh foo.sh
[07:47] <GoDawgs> that didn't work for me
[07:48] <TheGateKeeper_> manmadha: traceroute??
[07:48] <xyr|x> JackMacOKC : i used redhat-based system before.. i notice that ubuntu inittab defaults at runlevel 2(multiuser).. redhat multiuser is at runlevel 5
[07:48] <manmadha> TheGateKeeper_, ya
[07:48] <siratik000> How to remove modem in hylafax
[07:48] <Gun_Smoke> I can't seem to get wine to run.. I checked over at #winehq And they have no clue.
[07:48] <JackMacOKC> GoDawgs: with an sh script, you can usually 'chmod +x script.sh' then './script.sh' to execute it
[07:48] <xyr|x> JackMacOKC : if i change it to 5.. is there any effect? the comment said 2-5 is multiuser..
[07:48] <GoDawgs> erUSUL:  That worked!  Thank you!!!!
[07:48] <erUSUL> GoDawgs: no problem
[07:48] <Gun_Smoke> Any known problems with wine 0.9.19 and 6.06 or something I'm missing?

[07:49] <pawsilver> hi there

[07:51] <JackMacOKC> pawsilver: which package?
[07:52] <xyr|x> JackMacOKC : aight.. np.. last question.. gdm should be installed by default if using ubuntu desktop ISO right?

[07:55] <xyr|x> JackMacOKC : it crash when i use "alt+tab" to check my synaptic process
[07:55] <mandaponium> i upgraded to 6.06 and after a couple of reboots it's told me that the file system's bad

[07:55] <JackMacOKC> xyr|x: joke...if you have that kind of luck with the game, i dont want to be near you for the season :)
[07:56] <mandaponium> it asked me for the root password, and i'm now in the console but i don't know what to do next
[07:56] <mandaponium> anyone any ideas?
[07:56] <JackMacOKC> mandaponium: what did you upgrade from, hoary?
[07:56] <mandaponium> badger i think
[07:57] <xyr|x> JackMacOKC : i'm getting hooked with this apt-get/synaptic via package repos.. doesnt have to find rpm no more ;)
[07:57] <JackMacOKC> mandaponium: did you dist-upgrade
[07:57] <y0ss1_77> how do i installl a binary
[07:57] <mandaponium> i used the upgrade manager thingy
[07:57] <JackMacOKC> xyr|x: yeah, i like apt. its a Good Thing.
[07:57] <mandaponium> but it didn't complete
[07:57] <xyr|x> y0ss1_77 : what binary?
[07:57] <jorgg> What is the name of the mail program in linux? The program where i can send messages to other uses with the command: mail
[07:57] <mandaponium> so i ran apt-get dist-upgade
[07:57] <y0ss1_77> realplayer
[07:58] <y0ss1_77> i know its -i file but what command
[07:58] <michael003> jorgg: I think it's mailx
[07:58] <jrib> !realplayer > y0ss1_77
[07:58] <JackMacOKC> mandaponium: i feel your pain. the ugprade process is less than perfect. i had to redo my system as a result as well
[07:58] <slicslak> what's the diff between apt-get and aptitude?
[07:58] <JackMacOKC> jorgg: sendmail?
[07:58] <jorgg> michael003: okay
[07:58] <Crooper> does anyone know how to get evolution to retrieve webmail...in particular yahoo?
[07:58] <jorgg> JackMacOKC: ok.. take a look at the suggestions
[07:58] <mumbles-laptop> anyone know if i can change the startup when you loginto ssh ?
[07:58] <xyr|x> slicslak : aptitude is apt-get gui i suppose..just like synaptic
[07:59] <manopulus> Crooper, yahoo have pop3
[07:59] <mandaponium> if i redo the system does that involve losing data?
[07:59] <djcabz> whoa!!  this place gets mad busy...
[07:59] <Crooper> i don't think so...they won't give it up if they do
[07:59] <xyr|x> mandaponium : yup.. better backup to otherpartition first
[08:00] <manopulus> Crooper, i have mail at yahoo.co.uk
[08:00] <manopulus> Crooper, beleive :) i use it :) was in evolution, now sylpheed
[08:00] <JackMacOKC> mandaponium: if you have your /home partition on its own partition you can save most everything
[08:00] <xyr|x> JackMacOKC : grep: /etc/X11/default-display-manager: No such file or directory
[08:00] <TomaszD> how do I change my shell back to /bin/bash? I have dash now
[08:00] <mandaponium> JackMacOKC, how do i check that?
[08:00] <JackMacOKC> mandaponium: if you don't - this is a good lesson to always keep your /home partition seperate :(
[08:00] <Crooper> hmmm... i'll try harder then
[08:01] <xyr|x> invoke-rc.d: initscript gdm, action "reload" failed.
[08:01] <Crooper> thnx manopulus

[08:01] <JackMacOKC> mandaponium: 'df -h' is a good way to see your partitions
[08:02] <JackMacOKC> xyr|x: couldnt hurt
[08:02] <xyr|x> JackMacOKC : rebbot.. in a sec brb
[08:02] <GoDawgs> JackMacOKC:  now that the program is installed, how do I put an icon in my apps menu for it?
[08:02] <eyequeue> "very unsafe"
[08:03] <TomaszD> djcabz, doesn't work, I've done something like this earlier: update-alternatives --install /bin/sh sh /bin/dash 1
[08:03] <mandaponium> ok, it seems that /dev/hda1 is the only partition :(
[08:03] <jorgg> michael003: mailx was right! thanks! :)
[08:03] <JackMacOKC> GoDawgs: look for the alacart menu editor
[08:03] <michael003> jorgg: Pleasure
[08:03] <GoDawgs> jac
[08:03] <GoDawgs> JackMacOKC:  ok...
[08:03] <mandaponium> is it possible to force a home partition now and move stuff into it?
[08:03] <JackMacOKC> GoDawgs: should be in one of the existing menus
[08:03] <alek> hello
[08:04] <JackMacOKC> mandaponium: no, but you can always recover from a live disc
[08:04] <mandaponium> or should i attempt to start proftpd and backup stuff across the network?
[08:04] <SNippL> so already noticed the bittorrent tracker is shutting down, when u r shutting down ur dapper?
[08:04] <mandaponium> well i do have a live disc - i think... it's the one i installed from at first
[08:04] <JackMacOKC> mandaponium: i would use a live disc and backup over the network, thats probably the easiest, then when you redo your system do some googling on partition setup for linux
[08:04] <GoDawgs> JackMacOKC:  ok let me look
[08:04] <manmadha> can any one tell how to install gmail drive in ubuntu?
[08:05] <djcabz> TomaszD:  hmmm, first things first, lets make sure the bash binary is there...  ls -al /bin/bash
[08:05] <mandaponium> thanks JackMacOKC
[08:05] <JackMacOKC> sure thing

[08:05] <mandaponium> should i get some beer?
[08:05] <JackMacOKC> might be a good idea
[08:05] <Gun_Smoke> manmadha:  Is that like the firefox extention?
[08:06] <xyr|x> JackMacOKC : yeah.. thanx dude! now back using GUI logon

[08:06] <JackMacOKC> xyr|x: sweet! glad a dummy could help
[08:06] <xyr|x> JackMacOKC : still wondering whres my gdm went during the crash
[08:06] <GoDawgs> JackMacOKC:  I see it in the Alacarte but I don't see it in my apps dropdown
[08:06] <Gun_Smoke> manmadha:  Ah... I think I'll look into it myself.
[08:06] <manmadha> eyequeue, i read them but i can not modify (fstab)....
[08:06] <djcabz> TomaszD:  what happens if you simply type /bin/bash ?
[08:06] <JackMacOKC> xyr|x: who knows, but like i said..sounded silly...but sometimes the silly solution is the right one
[08:07] <GoDawgs> JackMacOKC:  nevermind, I figured it out
[08:07] <GoDawgs> JackMacOKC:  thanks though :)
[08:07] <JackMacOKC> GoDawgs: you'll need to create a new entry to the binary you installed, using the alacarte
[08:07] <xyr|x> JackMacOKC : ;)

[08:09] <Warbo> tmorton: I had to compile it myself after filing a bug in the stable version :(
[08:09] <TomaszD> I had this problem today with another workstation djcabz

[08:09] <method|> are broadcomm wireless cards automatically recognized by ubuntu or do I have to d/l drivers and setup?
[08:09] <djcabz> TomaszD:  you really should be able to simply type  /bin/bash   and be in the bash shell.
[08:09] <JackMacOKC> method|: depends on the model
[08:10] <siratik000> wow djcabz - my real name is ThomasD
[08:10] <TomaszD> djcabz, I know, I wouldn't be here if it was that easy to fix :)
[08:10] <chrisbudden14> Warbo, and JackMacOKC how are the backup features of them?  are they press a button and they pull the data off?

[08:10] <JackMacOKC> chrisbudden14: no, i dont have that type of external drive. its simply an external drive. in order to do backups you have to use rsync or oether
[08:11] <Warbo> !backup
[08:11] <ubotu> There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi
[08:11] <nahoj> hi everyone. I have a problem with my laptop-screen-resolution. model: acer travelmate 4072wlmi, graphic chipset i915GM. when i run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and i choose to "auto detect monitor" the screen goes black and kicks me out of X, unable to finish the configuration. I have tried to do the same thing without having X running but that didn't give any results. I was then able to finish the configuration though.
[08:11] <nahoj> but the resulotion is still 1024x768.
[08:11] <JackMacOKC> method| what model is it
[08:11] <chrisbudden14> oh cool thanks JackMacOKC  Warbo and ubotu
[08:11] <tmorton> Warbo, bug in inkscape or in autopackage?
[08:12] <djcabz> TomaszD:  I think we've run up to the limit of my knowledge on this topic then...  however, I did notice that your /bin/bash binary was a different size versus mine, yet, the version numbering is the same?
[08:12] <TomaszD> djcabz, I've screwed the other workstation up to the point of the terminal crashing upon start and having no sh interpreter. I had to reinstall that one completely, I don't want to screw this one up
[08:12] <POVaddct> nahoj: apt-get install 915resolution
[08:12] <Warbo> tmorton: Inkscape
[08:12] <mandaponium> nahoj - is the TM screen capable of 1280?
[08:12] <tmorton> ah
[08:12] <mandaponium> mine isn't
[08:12] <mandaponium> although mine's the 855GM
[08:12] <TomaszD> djcabz, ok thanks anyway, will try to get this fixed
[08:12] <nahoj> mandaponium, yes
[08:12] <nahoj> POVaddct, checking that one out
[08:12] <Warbo> tmorton: If using gradients in masks the object would disappear after saving. I lost loads of work because of that :( but it's fixed now
[08:12] <djcabz> TomaszD:  keep asking someone here may know more...
[08:13] <TomaszD> ok
[08:13] <nahoj> POVaddct, nice, something was installed anyway.. should i just restart X?
[08:13] <mandaponium> hmmm, one of the deleted inodes has zero dtime
[08:14] <POVaddct> nahoj: yes, restart X
[08:14] <siratik000> Can anyone help my find my modem/setup hylafax: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20685
[08:14] <JackMacOKC> TomaszD: whats your /etc/shells file look like

[08:15] <POVaddct> nahoj: no problem
[08:16] <POVaddct> nahoj: 915resolution patches the video bios (which does by default not contain the native display resolution)
[08:16] <siratik000> I have a question: How do I find out if I have a modem (er.. that ubuntu recognizes that I have a modem). And how do I see its status and its serial locations (no its not a winmodem)?
[08:16] <nahoj> POVaddct, very nice to know in the future! =)
[08:17] <cpete> im looking to make the leap into ubuntu later this week, how easy is the setup for raid + dual monitor?
[08:17] <djcabz> I think it is a link issue...  but if running /bin/bash doesn't get you into bash, I'm at a loss.
[08:17] <POVaddct> nahoj: nearly all notebooks with intel shared memory gfx and non-standard resolutions have this problem
[08:17] <JackMacOKC> TomaszD: have you tried changing your shell with the chsh command? you might man chsh
[08:17] <Warbo> siratik000: It should be /dev/ttys0 if it is detected. Try using that in gnome-ppp or something and see if you get a dial tone
[08:17] <siratik000> Warbo: on server
[08:18] <Warbo> siratik000: Ah. Maybe use wvdial to dial then (gnome-ppp is just a GUI for wvdial anyway)
[08:18] <djcabz> JackMacOKC:  what does this command do, update-alternatives --install /bin/sh sh /bin/dash 1  (which is what s/he ran prior to asking here)
[08:18] <TomaszD> JackMacOKC, it shows that the one I'm using is /bin/bash, so it isn't really helping

I installed ubuntu 6.06 x86 and when it finally loads into the OS all I get is a series of colored vertical bars. I thought it might be a resolution issue so I loaded the live CD with various low resolutions with the same issue. I have tried dissabling my SLi and I still have the same issue. Any suggestions?

[08:21] <KamModMatt> rsk: how would I do that exactly?
[08:21] <Warbo> siratik000: I think it is all controlled by something in /etc, if I remember right

[08:23] <mvhenten> I think it is quite silly to have a sticky note with a euro sign in it after having euro as a currency for over 6 years now!

[08:49] <michael003> pau1: You need to install the MP3 plugin for gstreamer. It's one of the gstreamer0.10-plugins packages
[08:49] <heeeelp> argument well i cant exactly rip it out and look at it....is there a console command that pulls it up?
[08:49] <siratik000> I've tried apt-cache search ghostscript | grep ghostscript and no straight result came up
[08:49] <holycow> does anyone know or have recommendations for SCSI raid cards that have default support in debian/ubuntu systems?
[08:49] <argument> heeeelp, why can't you?
[08:49] <siratik000> apt-get install ? , what ? = ghostscript ?
[08:50] <argument> heeeelp, have you ever opened your computer case before?
[08:50] <lillpelle> siratik000: gs instead
[08:50] <holycow> !raid
[08:50] <ubotu> Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[08:50] <siratik000>  lillpelle: thanks
[08:50] <plastic> waspius, its full when there is something and its empty when not..
[08:50] <argument> heeeelp, and if so how do you know that it has DMA support :P
[08:50] <sans> kde base directory? anyone knows?
[08:50] <argument> heeeelp, maybe the DMA support that it's trying to load is corrupt, or maybe your hardware is corrupt
[08:50] <heeeelp> argument, yes-  I just built it- I have it open right now, but i can't see it lol :P  and yes, I know it has dma support because when I enable it I am able to operate my system smoothly again :)
[08:50] <TheGateKeeper> xyr|x: http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=15196  repo for ntfs-3g --> deb http://flomertens.keo.in/ubuntu/ dapper main
[08:51] <argument> heeeelp, ok so when you do linux=nodma what happens
[08:51] <heeeelp> argument, however I can't find the source of this problem
[08:51] <heeeelp> it disables the dma.
[08:51] <bruenig> what is the printer command? I am trying to print a pdf and adobe only gives me a print to file, which I assume is postscript or a printer command but I don't know what the printer command is? I assume something /bin/something or /usr/bin/something
[08:51] <waspius> plastic: yea great tell me something i dont know...!!!
[08:51] <argument> heeeelp, i know that
[08:51] <Orasis1> Hrmm.. how can i use RAR's?

[08:51] <waspius> plastic: the problem is it only shows one status
[08:51] <heeeelp> it boots fine when I do that
[08:51] <waspius> plastic: according to the i con i choose
[08:51] <plastic> waspius, yep
[08:51] <heeeelp> but then it runs like shit
[08:52] <xyr|x> TheGateKeeper : tq ;)
[08:52] <heeeelp> and then I do the hdparm
[08:52] <heeeelp> and its fine again
[08:52] <holycow> is ubuntuforums.org related to ubuntu.com?
[08:52] <plastic> waspius, and your piont is?
[08:52] <plastic> holycow, you bet..
[08:52] <waspius> plastic: that when i put something in it it is supposed to change and show full..not show it is empty
[08:52] <bruenig> how do your print a pdf
[08:52] <bruenig> you*
[08:52] <TheGateKeeper> xyr|x: you new to linux?
[08:53] <xyr|x> TheGateKeeper : new to debian-like system.. new to linux desktop computing
[08:54] <plastic> wasauce, oh..that's the problem.. i think a little trick with Themes should work.. try to choose other one..
[08:54] <dell500> how do you format a USB-SATA drive?
[08:54] <bruenig> I guess I will just go with postscript until I can find out otherwise
[08:54] <TheGateKeeper> xyr|x: put some usefull links together here: http://za1012001.googlepages.com/home what distro have you used previously?
[08:54] <xyr|x> TheGateKeeper : previous n currently,i used redhat.. for servers.. not for personalcomputing
[08:55] <dell500> !format

[08:55] <pebblestone> hi, which is the best way to keep ssh session alive? TCPKeepAlive or ClientAliveInterval?
[08:55] <heeeelp> yeah, I disable the DMA to boot or it hangs, and then I have to re-enable it later-  how do I track down the source of this?  IT's a Western Digital 80GB Hd....WD800 I bleieve
[08:55] <plastic> waspius, oh..that's the problem.. i think a little trick with Themes should work.. try to choose other one..
[08:55] <roxlu> whats the newest flash player plugin for firefox for ubuntu?
[08:55] <argument> heeeelp, google

[08:56] <Leng> How can I install ubuntu without setting a hostname and having it get its hostname via dhcp?

[08:56] <nemesis_> hi there
[08:56] <dell500> what's the correct syntax for formatting a USB SATA drive that's 300gb? 'sudo mkdosfs -c /dev/sdc1' ??
[08:56] <nemesis_> anybody here?
[08:56] <pebblestone> anybody pls answer my question? (;
[08:56] <xyr|x> TheGateKeeper : updates made easy ;) dependencies made easier ;)
[08:56] <heeeelp> lol good point argument, I almost forgot this was a support chan  lol!
[08:57] <plastic> waspius, i heard that there is problems for transperent things with nvidia or ati video cards.. what is yours?
[08:57] <waspius> ati
[08:57] <waspius> plastic: ati
[08:57] <TheGateKeeper> xyr|x: true cool :-) having a little fling with sourcemage myself at the moment on my test box
[08:57] <nemesis_> i have some problem with xgl compiz
[08:57] <Orasis1> nemesis_: Why do you want a 3D cube as your desktop? :D
[08:58] <nemesis_> is this the good channel?
[08:58] <Orasis1> Im just curious, how is that effective
[08:58] <plastic> waspius, try to google it.. i dont realy remember about that...
[08:58] <Herbal> Nemesis, join #ubuntu-xgl
[08:58] <nemesis_> thx herbal
[08:58] <jeff303> if Firefox randomly quits, is there somewhere I can see an error log?
[08:58] <waspius> plastic: ok thanx
[08:58] <xyr|x> TheGateKeeper : after using ubuntu.. i'll definitely will try debian-ized servers at my office..
[08:59] <NickGarvey> xyr|x: :)
[08:59] <plastic> waspius, no prob..
[08:59] <heeeelp> hi, can someone help me find the root of a DMA issue?  I have to put in linux ide=nodma to fix the "mounting root filesystem" hang, and then I have to use sudo hdparm -d1 /dev/hda after the boot to re-enable it or my os is extremely slow!  Can someone please help me fix this?  I'm a linux newb-  so PLEASE PLEASE explain in a way I can understand.  I've used xp my whole life.
[08:59] <argument> heeeelp, please don't repeat
[08:59] <argument> heeeelp, you're probably *much* better off using the forums for that issue
[09:00] <xyr|x> TheGateKeeper : most of my servers ran on redhat EL/centos ..tired of up2date/yum
[09:00] <heeeelp> Oh, I was seeing if someone else would remotely attempt to give tech support.
[09:00] <plastic> heeeelp, ubuntu.com and search..
[09:00] <TheGateKeeper> xyr|x: don't which one is the best, ubuntu seem to be making muterings about getting into that market
[09:00] <heeeelp> plastic:  been there, done that- they dont have any documentation on this.
[09:00] <argument> heeeelp, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/ <-- forums and bulletin boards and wiki's are often better resources for support
[09:00] <Orasis1> heeeelp: You should be careful, it's not too wise to invite strangers into your machines :P
[09:00] <heeeelp> seen it-  tried it
[09:00] <argument> heeeelp, as in it might take longer to get the answer but a lot of devs DO read the forums and don't care about IRC
[09:01] <plastic> heeeelp, they have docimentation on DMA
[09:01] <Yamaraj> Is i810 DRI working in Edgy?
[09:01] <heeeelp> they have it on DMA but they dont have it on my support problem
[09:01] <argument> heeeelp, so post your support problem on the forums! geez!
[09:01] <heeeelp> if they did...I wouldn't be in here lol!
[09:01] <heeeelp> argument I did
[09:01] <xyr|x> TheGateKeeper : it's all linux in general.. but the xtra fudgie wudgie that matters ;P
[09:01] <argument> heeeelp, ok, well then basically the most you can do is wait
[09:01] <argument> heeeelp, wait a few hours then try your question in here again
[09:02] <argument> heeeelp, wait a day or so then check the forum
[09:02] <heeeelp> It would seem so, by the sound of the "official ubuntu support channel"
[09:02] <TheGateKeeper> xyr|x: to true :-)
[09:03] <argument> heeeelp, support == help for people with systems that are working fairly normally. your question sounds like it needs a dev to solve it. either that or you haven't read enough about configuring DMA... one of the two
[09:03] <facugaich> I'm about to erase my Win partition and clean install over, in the same harddrive there's the ubuntu partition... any advice before I begin?
[09:03] <argument> heeeelp, *and* either way, developers tend to hang on the forums more so than IRC
[09:03] <argument> heeeelp, official support channel != official channel where the devs hang out
[09:04] <heeeelp> Argument, its a gui based os.  I shouldn't need to know that stuff lol;  and yes, I've heard your schpeel.
[09:04] <santa99> ls
[09:04] <NemesisUK> heeeelp, have you thought of using hdparm.conf to re-enable the drives dma?
[09:04] <santa99> hi guys
[09:04] <heeeelp> thanks anyway.
[09:04] <heeeelp> nemesis, no-  Im a linux newb lol
[09:04] <argument> heeeelp, no, don't confuse windows with linux
[09:04] <NemesisUK> do a search on hdparm.conf :)
[09:04] <argument> heeeelp, the attitude of "i shouldn't need to know this" is part of the issue
[09:05] <argument> heeeelp, in linux your attitude should be "i must know and understand this in and out"
[09:05] <Tarcio> hello,
[09:05] <heeeelp> nemesis, will do.  You've been infinitely more helpful in your two lines of correspondence then the last 30 minutes of responses I've gotten :)
[09:05] <NemesisUK> heeeelp, enable the service and you can enable dma for devices at boot
[09:05] <eyequeue> and i never considered linux to be a "gui based os"
[09:05] <santa99> anyboday here knows some tutorials for example network programs
[09:06] <Tarcio> the gcc is not work in ubuntu 6.06 server64
[09:06] <manmadha> santa99, ya
[09:06] <Tarcio> somebody help me?
[09:06] <rsk> Tarcio: how does it not work?
[09:06] <argument> heeeelp, except i already told you that waht you needed to do was learn more about DMA, and though NemesisUK gave you a quick idea you could have found that data on your own
[09:06] <eyequeue> !doesn't work
[09:06] <ubotu> Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.
[09:06] <rsk> Tarcio: what gcc ? do gcc -v
[09:06] <Tarcio> gcc -o out out.c
[09:06] <Tarcio> OK
[09:06] <Tarcio> wait a minute
[09:07] <hid3> Evening everyone. How can I echo coloured text in bash?

[09:07] <eyequeue> argument, don't waste breath on those who don't want help and just want to complain, you'll live longer
[09:07] <santa99> manmadha,  could you tell me the pages you know
[09:07] <ToHellWithGA> I'm having trouble printing.  When I do a "test" page, the legible lines are "POST / HTTP/1.1\nContent-Length: 259\nContent-Type: application/ipp\nHost: <IP_ADDRESS>\nUser-Agent: CUPS/1.2.2\nExpect: 100-continue"

[09:07] <ToHellWithGA> !tell tarcio about pastebin
[09:09] <dell500> can someone please help me with a formatting/partition table problem i'm having with my USB SATA (300gb)?
[09:09] <xyr|x> TheGateKeeper : after installing ntfs-3g.. any adjustments need to be made to enable full read / write xs to my other ptions?
[09:09] <JackMacOKC> whats the problem dell500
[09:09] <NemesisUK> argument, some ppl just need to be given a prode in the right direction or sometimes a good hard shove :)
[09:09] <Jack_Sparrow> xyr|x: Do you really intend to write to NTFS...
[09:10] <dell500> JackMacOKC, well i've used fdisk to make the partition table... i then use fdisk -l to see if it worked, and it didn't, but my main problem is formatting with mkdosfs but doesn't work
[09:10] <xyr|x> TheGateKeeper : just testing.. :)
[09:10] <TheGateKeeper> xyr|x: sorry never used it, so I can't comment :-(
[09:10] <santa99> manmadha, still here ?
[09:10] <derekS> does anyone have mutt + smtp setup? how are you guys doin int
[09:10] <xyr|x> TheGateKeeper : could use xtra GB's.. then can queue more torrents at my win movies partition :)
[09:11] <Warbo> Is Configuration Editor available in System Tools by default, or does it need to be enabled in Alacarte?
[09:11] <manmadha> santa99, u want the links for networking?
[09:11] <Amaranth> Warbo: that second one
[09:11] <Warbo> Amaranth: Ah, thknks
[09:11] <Warbo> *thanks
[09:11] <santa99> manmadha, yeah that would be very kind of you
[09:11] <sharperguy> how comes i cant get a better resolution than 1024x768?
[09:12] <shrift> waspius: you had any luck yet?
[09:12] <JackMacOKC> dell500, are you trying to format the drive in fat32?
[09:12] <cheesy1> heh dumb question but where are my kernel headers installed ?
[09:12] <TheGateKeeper> xyr|x: you will have the movie gestapo after you :-)
[09:12] <dell500> JackMacOKC, ya
[09:12] <h4ch3r> some use direqtcafe in ltsp-4.2:???
[09:12] <Jack_Sparrow> sharperguy: what drivers did you install on what type of video card?
[09:12] <eyequeue> cheesy1, /usr/src
[09:12] <tximas_> hi
[09:12] <tximas_> i am installing ubuntu 6.06 on my emac but when start the Xserver i dont see enything
[09:12] <xyr|x> TheGateKeeper : :D hehe.. i have only 20 GBs for ubuntu
[09:12] <sharperguy> nvidia, i have configured xorg so that 1024x768 is not even available and it still only gives me that option
[09:13] <heeeelp> NemesisUK:  I have been using the hdparm command to enable it (DMA) manually on bootup...was that what you were referring to?
[09:13] <Jack_Sparrow> sharperguy: when you type in terminal glxgears -printfps what do you get..
[09:13] <TheGateKeeper> xyr|x: bought a HDD caddy system 80Gb for windows, 200Gb for Kubuntu
[09:13] <JackMacOKC> dell500, have you looked at this http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man8/mkfs.vfat.8.html
[09:14] <cheesy1> eyequeue, yeah thats what i figured. install scripts says it can't find them when i point it to /usr/src/linux-headers (which is a symlink to /usr/src/linux-header-2.15.26 )
[09:14] <sharperguy> umm, wrong syntax
[09:14] <dell500> JackMacOKC, mkfs.vfat is the same as mkdosfs...
[09:14] <tximas_> i press control+alt++ or - but dont change
[09:14] <tomasz27> where do I get XGL?
[09:14] <NemesisUK> heeeelp, you can set hdparm to start at boot and setup dma on your drives using hdparm.conf you'll find it in /etc. you then set hdparm to start at boot
[09:14] <xyr|x> TheGateKeeper : haha..mine is reversed.. 240GB win.. 20GB ubuntu
[09:14] <JackMacOKC> dell500, oh yeah my bad..you said you were using mkdosfs
[09:14] <dell500> JackMacOKC, ya
[09:14] <JackMacOKC> dell500, is it giving you an error?
[09:14] <Jack_Sparrow> sharperguy: Did you install the drivers as per the help wiki here or some other way off nvidia website or automatix or easyubuntu

[09:17] <shaantanu> hey guys what shud I go for GnomeBaker or k3b
[09:17] <sharperguy> automatix
[09:17] <eyequeue> shaantanu, ubuntu or kubuntu?
[09:17] <sharperguy> i dont think its an issue however
[09:17] <NickGarvey> shaantanu: gnomebaker if you use gnome, k3b if you use kde
[09:17] <shrift> shaantanu what do you mean exactly?
[09:17] <Jack_Sparrow> sharperguy: I kinda already knew..
[09:17] <nemesis_> hi, can anybody help me with xgl and compiz?
[09:17] <NickGarvey> !xgl
[09:17] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[09:17] <shaantanu> ubuntu ....
[09:17] <sharperguy> ?
[09:17] <Jack_Sparrow> sharperguy: just had to admit your shame...
[09:17] <shrift> shaantanu: are you asking which program you should use?
[09:17] <sharperguy> ??
[09:17] <eyequeue> shaantanu, gnomebaker will use your gnome libs, without pulling in all the kde libs
[09:18] <shaantanu> does it really mater ... k3b will work fine on ubuntu as well
[09:18] <sharperguy> ???
[09:18] <shaantanu> ok
[09:18] <shaantanu> whats the default thats installed wid ubuntu
[09:18] <Jack_Sparrow> !nvidia > sharperguy
[09:18] <eyequeue> shaantanu, but k3b will add bloat to your system
[09:18] <shrift> shaantanu: it does really matter to some people. You need to ask a specific question.
[09:18] <bruce89> k3b looks wrong in gnome
[09:18] <shaantanu> hmm
[09:18] <shrift> shaantanu: there is no default in ubuntu. We have built in burning, it comes with gnome. Some people prefer a program though, so they get one.
[09:19] <sharperguy> I dont think it's a driver issue
[09:19] <heeeelp> damn.  none of this documentation is for newbs.  It's like a soap opera- you can never really get into it because the story started two weeks before you found the channel.
[09:19] <shaantanu> ok ... thanx
[09:19] <NickGarvey> shaantanu: I would do gnomebaker, less dependancys
[09:19] <ymlu> gtk apps look good in kde
[09:19] <dell500> JackMacOKC, any ideas?
[09:19] <Jack_Sparrow> sharperguy: what do you get for glxgears?

[09:19] <eyequeue> jujimufu, man update-rc.d, you have a syntax error
[09:19] <sharperguy> i am using xgl but not compiz
[09:20] <jikanter> Where is a good tutorial on dual booting with grub on the MBR?
[09:20] <dell500> JackMacOKC, that might be what's wrong... hmmmm
[09:20] <NickGarvey> sharperguy: I don't think.. you can do that...
[09:20] <waspius> shrift: yep it all worked fine thanx allot!!!can uremind me which packages i downloaded so i can use them if i need them in the future?
[09:20] <sharperguy> but i dont think thats an issue either

[09:20] <TheGateKeeper> heeeelp: this what you are looking for? ---> Windows to Ubuntu Transition Guide:http://www.pcmech.com/show/os/917/
[09:20] <jujimufu> eyequeue: I just copy-pasted this command from an ubuntu help thread: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/i915Driver
[09:20] <Jack_Sparrow> sharperguy: and what nvidi card is it... my Nvidia 6600 pci-e gives 6000 +
[09:20] <JackMacOKC> dell500, well lets start there so pastebin it and we'll look at it
[09:20] <heeeelp> jikanter:  install your second boot first, ubuntu second, it will setup grub automatically, then look up how to edit the grub list file.
[09:20] <eyequeue> jujimufu, man update-rc.d, the thread has a syntax error, in that case
[09:20] <dell500> JackMacOKC, k, one sec
[09:20] <jikanter> cool heeeelp
[09:20] <shrift> waspius: well there is really no reason to uninstall. But I think that the ones we ended up needing were kdebase-dev and xorg-dev. but I'm not 100% sure.
[09:21] <jikanter> thanks

[09:21] <heeeelp> you want ubuntu on hda or it'll schitz out all the time
[09:21] <sharperguy> gforce4 mx 440
[09:21] <shrift> waspius: so you ca just leave all of those packages on your system, they will not hurt anything.
[09:21] <waspius> shrift: ok np..it just if i reinstall at some point kubuntu not to do everything from scratch
[09:22] <dell500> JackMacOKC, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20692
[09:22] <Jack_Sparrow> sharperguy: Good luck, I'd double check your driver....
[09:22] <cpete> is there a minimum suggested graphics card requirement for XGL to run smoothly?
[09:22] <waspius> shrift: the problem is though that although i installed crystal it is not transparent..and i cannot find how to change it plus my trash always shows that it is empty even though it is not
[09:23] <harisund> How do I add cpufrequency scaling applet to my Xubuntu panel/
[09:23] <JackMacOKC> dell500, which drive are we talking about? and is it an ipod?
[09:23] <ymlu> harisund: top
[09:23] <harisund> ymlu what to/
[09:23] <harisund> top?
[09:24] <brl4n> when you install a new package does is it automatically supposed to get added to the program listing?
[09:24] <ymlu> harisund: open terminal and top
[09:24] <shrift> waspius: yeah, those sound like problems to ask the developer of the theme your using. Also, I don't use KDE, sorry I have no idea.
[09:24] <brl4n> i'm trying to get network-manager-gnome to show up so I can configure WPA support
[09:24] <dell500> JackMacOKC, that's why i was like hmmmm, cause the ipod is sdc2 .... but in fdisk it says it's a 300gb sata
[09:24] <harisund> ymlu oh no, that is not what I want. What I am looking for is a way to find out at what speed my processor is running.
[09:25] <waspius> shrift: no problem u helped me lots anyway..i just need to find how to setup my firewall now and i am done i think
[09:25] <JackMacOKC> dell500, try a 'df -h' and see if it shows up there
[09:25] <dell500> JackMacOKC, nope...
[09:25] <harisund> ymlu my processor supports scaling. It can switch between 800 Mhz and 1600 Mhz. In Windows the AMD power monitor shows me that my processor runs at 800 Mhz, except when there is a sudden increase in the usage of CPU when it gets scaled to 1600 Mhz. Is Xubuntu capable of that?
[09:25] <facugaich> Windows' installer doesn't recognize the FAT32 partition I created with Gparted as valid. help?
[09:25] <ymlu> harisund: in top u see: Cpu(s):  5.0% us  1.7% sy,  0.0% ni, 81.2% id,  0.0% wa,  0.0% hi,  0.7% si
[09:25] <jeff303> does anyone else have the problem where Firefox seems to stop accepting keyboard input on forms and the address/search boxes, etc?
[09:26] <JackMacOKC> dell500, did you create a mount point for it yet?
[09:26] <harisund> ymlu top only shows me what percentage of my cpu is being used. that's not quite the same as what speed it is running on.
[09:26] <dell500> JackMacOKC, ya, /media/usb-sata
[09:26] <ymlu> harisund: right
[09:26] <shrift> !firewall
[09:26] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed with iptables (in the command line), firestarter (gui, can also setup connection sharing) or shorewall (web interface)
[09:26] <harisund> ymlu utilization is one thing, processor frequency is another. I want the latter, not former ... in Gnome there was a nice applet that showed me the frequency. Looks like Xubuntu doesn't have one.
[09:26] <ymlu> harisund: i need such cpu too
[09:27] <shrift> waspius: type "!firewall" in the IRC chat here.
[09:27] <waspius> shrift: ok thanx
[09:27] <harisund> ymlu well, I am using Turion64 but 32 bit kernel. The processor scaling is primarily for battery saving.
[09:27] <waspius> !firewall
[09:27] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed with iptables (in the command line), firestarter (gui, can also setup connection sharing) or shorewall (web interface)
[09:27] <shrift> waspius: np.
[09:28] <JackMacOKC> dell500, try a sfdisk -l /dev/sdc
[09:28] <waspius> shrift: yes but i do not have iptables installed
[09:28] <shrift> waspius: sorry, I should have told you to type: /msg !firewall. They don't like us typing info questions right in the chat. My bad.
[09:28] <NemesisUK> heeeelp, this is what you want http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-16360.html
[09:28] <waspius> ok np
[09:29] <JackMacOKC> dell500, it might not be /dev/sdc, might try sdb or sdd
[09:29] <eyequeue> waspius, you don't?
[09:29] <dell500> JackMacOKC, says no partitions found... which i think is true because it's a new drive
[09:29] <eyequeue> !info iptables
[09:29] <ubotu> iptables: Linux kernel 2.4+ iptables administration tools. In component main, is standard. Version 1.3.3-2ubuntu4 (dapper), package size 309 kB, installed size 972 kB
[09:29] <eyequeue> waspius, it is standard
[09:29] <JackMacOKC> dell500, oh my bad..its brand new. duh
[09:30] <waspius> eyequeue: no..i think it is not..cause i tried before to find it but nothing..but wait..
[09:30] <dell500> JackMacOKC, ya, and sda and sdb are both sata drives in the comp on a raid array
[09:30] <cpete> is anyone running XGL with dual monitor? im looking for a new graphics card but I have a few limitations such as AGP 8x, 1 slot, and dual dvi
[09:30] <xyr|x> TheGateKeeper : i'm writing to my ntfs... any known hazards?
[09:30] <waspius> eyequeue: ok i have it
[09:31] <waspius> eyequeue: but i installed guarddog
[09:31] <tuxtux> ciao
[09:31] <eyequeue> waspius, i don't do kde, sorry
[09:31] <dell500> JackMacOKC, Disk /dev/sdc doesn't contain a valid partition table
[09:32] <eyequeue> waspius, but it looks like that is a frontend
[09:32] <waspius> eyequeue: np
[09:32] <waspius> eyequeue: what is a frontend?
[09:32] <TheGateKeeper> xyr|x: used to be well dodgy, and could trash your system, what I gave you is still in beta, but Xandos are using it, and claim to be one of the few linux distro that read / write to ntfs out of the box
[09:32] <heeeelp> i.e windows, gnome
[09:32] <Skippy> hey everyone
[09:32] <TheGateKeeper> xyr|x: time will tell :-)
[09:32] <heeeelp> waspius^
[09:32] <JackMacOKC> dell500, so when you sudo fdisk /dev/sdc it wont let you create any partitions?
[09:32] <eyequeue> waspius, but it looks like guarddog is a frontend to iptables
[09:33] <dell500> JackMacOKC, I mean it does, it goes into the prompt and stuff, then i write it, and it doesn't do anything to the drive...
[09:33] <waspius> heeeelp: ??
[09:33] <JackMacOKC> hmm
[09:33] <Skippy> i just changed my resolution from 1024x768 to 1280x800
[09:33] <Skippy> but my fonts seems funny
[09:33] <Skippy> does anyone know why
[09:33] <shrift> waspius: he is saying that guarddog is a program that simply creates a nice interface for you to view what the iptables are doing.
[09:34] <dell500> JackMacOKC, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20693 this is the fdisk output at the beginning
[09:34] <JackMacOKC> dell500, you hit n to create a new partition, then w to write the partition table and its not writing it? thats weird
[09:34] <waspius> shrift: oh ok..thanx for the clarification.
[09:34] <waspius> but still dont know how exactly to configure it
[09:34] <xyr|x> gtg.. thanx guys! be back when problem comes. . . .
[09:35] <gabone> hello
[09:35] <dell500> JackMacOKC, you wanna see the process i just did with fdisk to get an idea?
[09:35] <JackMacOKC> dell500, well you're running this under sudo right?
[09:35] <shrift> waspius: you are using kde right? maybe you can find better help on the kde irc channels.
[09:35] <JackMacOKC> dell500, yeah you are...crap
[09:35] <dell500> JackMacOKC, yes
[09:36] <waspius> shrift: ok i will try thanx
[09:36] <dell500> JackMacOKC, what's wrong with that?
[09:36] <shrift> waspius: good luck!
[09:36] <waspius> shrift: thanx allot
[09:36] <JackMacOKC> dell500, no thats what you want..i'm just stumped.
[09:36] <sharperguy> chicken niggets
[09:36] <shrift> waspius: maybe youc an get more help in #ubuntu-classroom too.
[09:36] <dell500> JackMacOKC, check that pastebin again cause it went without any errors or anything
[09:36] <waspius> shrift: i will check that out also..thanx
[09:36] <dell500> JackMacOKC, it worked that time, now there is a correct partition in there of /dev/sdc1
[09:37] <JackMacOKC> dell500, yeah the output looks ok...so it worked that time? what did you do different?
[09:37] <dell500> JackMacOKC, mkdosfs is working!!!!
[09:37] <dell500> JackMacOKC, i switched from my front usb to the back usb.... wierd
[09:38] <JackMacOKC> dell500, that is weird, but common. the front usb ports on computers are usually not suplied the same power as the back
[09:38] <brl4n> i'm trying to get network-manager-gnome to show up so I can configure WPA support.  I installed it but how do I add the applet or whatever so I can actually use it.  There doesn't seem to be any documentation that explains how to get it running
[09:38] <dell500> JackMacOKC, really? cause of the voltage difference or whatever it is cause it's not accually connected to the mobo directly or something
[09:38] <michael003> brl4n: Run nm-applet
[09:39] <JackMacOKC> dell500, yes its usually connected with a connector rather than straight to the mobo, we have problems with kb/mouse all the time for the same reason
[09:39] <Skippy> does anyone know how to fix the quality of the fonts after changing resolution
[09:39] <brl4n> michael003:ok.  seems odd that it doesn't just add it automatically
[09:39] <sonicvanajr> Hi, I have a video card that is supported by the kernel, but I want to input via the component cables, not by the rf/cable adapter, does anyone know of a program that can do this ?
[09:40] <JackMacOKC> dell500, glad you got it working. sorry i'm such a dummy. we're all learning here
[09:40] <dell500> JackMacOKC, no way, you helped a lot. that's all i really needed to was someone to go through it with me :)
[09:40] <Ych> sonicvanajr: i don't think computers are capable of accepting HD (component) inputs at all....
[09:41] <Lord_Shimfs> hi
[09:41] <JackMacOKC> dell500, no problem. glad i could help
[09:41] <sonicvanajr> Ych, I used the wrong term. I just mean the normal red, yellow, white jacks
[09:41] <Lord_Shimfs> i have a little problem, i cant get my broadcom wireless card to work with my ubuntu os (im new to linux)
[09:41] <Ych> composite that would be
[09:41] <Jowi> !broadcom
[09:41] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[09:41] <sonicvanajr> Ych, thats the one !. Can I get input from that ?
[09:41] <dell500> JackMacOKC, I'll keep you in the loop to let you know what goes on with this though, I'm guessing a 300gb drive will tkae a while to format, so I'm gonna go to downtown to get some stuff done, peace and thanks a lot
[09:41] <Ych> sonicvanajr: so, you want to input a signal into your comp?
[09:42] <waspius> shrift: hey maybe you can help me with this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20697 i get it when i try to make in configuration
[09:42] <sonicvanajr> Yeah, from an xbox
[09:42] <JackMacOKC> dell500, nah, should take no time at all..maybe a few minutes at the most
[09:42] <Ych> sonicvanajr: I knot its possible by hardware, i used to do it on windows, but i assume you know that
[09:42] <sonicvanajr> Hehe yeah
[09:42] <JackMacOKC> dell500, i formated 1TB on my system just last weekend and it only took a few minutes
[09:42] <brl4n> Lord_Shimfs:join the club.  it took me a while to figure out just what to do.  you gotta learn 10 things just to get it to work
[09:42] <Soulfly> Hi. i have problems with special swedish letters in licq. when I type them I get an error-message saying "Error encoding to UTF-16 form" and message sent is clipped. i've tried "LANG=xxx licq" in various forms. im running xgl. Anyone that can help?
[09:42] <dell500> JackMacOKC, alright, i'll stay around to see what happens then... wow, 1TB? shizzle
[09:42] <Ych> sonicvanajr: haven't tried it on linux yet, but i figure there should be some info on VIVO for linux on the net
[09:42] <Ych> !vivo
[09:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about vivo - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:42] <Lord_Shimfs> i know the wireless documentation, but my friend who is good at linux tells me that broadcom wireless is hard to get to work
[09:43] <Ych> too bad
[09:43] <sonicvanajr> Ych, thanks
[09:43] <Ych> well i can't help you there, sorry
[09:43] <Ych> np
[09:43] <JackMacOKC> Ych you're better getting a capture card then using vivo
[09:43] <Ych> really?
[09:43] <JackMacOKC> imo
[09:43] <Ych> i have a capture card myself, but i've also used vivo before
[09:43] <elesouef> Hi all, someone can help me with sending files to a cell phone via bluetooth using dapper ?
[09:43] <JackMacOKC> the capture cards are better suited to, well, capturing :)
[09:44] <Ych> well ok, but tell that to sonicvanajr
[09:44] <Ych> :D
[09:44] <JackMacOKC> plus the driver support is there for a lot of capture cards already..i had no problems getting my leadtek working under breezy
[09:44] <Ych> hmmm, that reminds me though, i need to try to set up my capture card sometime....
[09:44] <Ych> yeah i got a leadtek too, i might do that today...
[09:44] <Ych> !capture
[09:44] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about capture - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:45] <Ych> !tv card
[09:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tv card - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:45] <JackMacOKC> mines a 2000 deluxe, and it works great in linux
[09:45] <Ych> arrgh
[09:45] <Juftus> Lord_Shimfs: Got wireless working on my laptop which has Broadcom 4318. Wasn't that bad, though I haven't edited the startup scripts yet so anytime I wanto to use wireless, I have to run 2 commands manually.
[09:45] <Ych> how'd you do it?
[09:45] <Ych> any specific program?
[09:45] <DanHowell> good evening friends
[09:45] <JackMacOKC> Ych, just chedked the forums..theres lots of people who have set it up..its no thing at all
[09:45] <Ych> ok ill google around

[09:45] <Skippy> does anyone know how to fix the fonts after changing resolution
[09:45] <Ych> ooops
[09:46] <gepatino> does anyone knows how to upload the firmware to an epson stylus?
[09:46] <gepatino> I need to print w/o cups, lp, etc?
[09:46] <DanHowell> which is the file with "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" in it?
[09:46] <JackMacOKC> gepatino: probably done over usb
[09:46] <POVaddct> DanHowell: /etc/resolv.conf
[09:47] <JackMacOKC> gepatino: and probably a utility only exists for windows would be my guess
[09:47] <JackMacOKC> gapatino: which stylus?
[09:47] <gepatino> JackMacOKC: stylus c67
[09:48] <gepatino> JackMacOKC: it works ok using cups, but i need to print directly to the port
[09:48] <DanHowell> should resolv.conf have "nameserver <my router IP>" in it?
[09:48] <gepatino> JackMacOKC: and i was told that you need to upload the firmware first
[09:48] <shrift> waspius: out of curiosity, isn't there a package in the repo that you can use for kopete?
[09:48] <JackMacOKC> gepatino: i used to have a c62 that worked just fine in breezy. why do you need to direct print?
[09:49] <POVaddct> DanHowell: depends on whether your router does dns forwarding or not
[09:49] <robert_> is there a default CN=, DN= for a freshly-instaleld OpenLDAP server?
[09:49] <waspius> shrift: do u mean adept the update manager?yes but it does not find any updates
[09:49] <shrift> waspius: sorry, I think that is another question for the Developers.
[09:49] <robert_> installed*
[09:49] <JackMacOKC> gepatino: if you're trying to print direct pcl, that might require a firmware update for sure. i doubt you'll be able to do that in linux though. i imagine that epson has a utility thats windows only to update that
[09:49] <gepatino> JackMacOKC: it for a special app runing on a livecd, and its easier to open the port and write, that detecting the printer.... configurie cups, etc
[09:49] <gepatino> JackMacOKC: i need it to be totally automatic
[09:49] <shrift> waspius: no... the package. do this "sudo apt-get install kopete"
[09:50] <JackMacOKC> robert_: i dont know, but i wouldnt think so
[09:50] <shrift> waspius: or do you mean by that that youa re looking for a later version that is on the repositories?
[09:50] <LeeJunFan> anyone have any ideas how I can setup a time quote per user per day for our library? I need something that will allow a user to be able to use a workstation X minutes then notify them a couple minutes before they get logged off.
[09:50] <LeeJunFan> s/quote/quota
[09:51] <waspius> shrift: i have done that but it says i have the latest version..although i found one which is later
[09:51] <waspius> shrift: dont you know what the problem might be here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20697
[09:52] <CyDrive> can someone help me for some reason only on this computer my internet is running really slow and in some cases not allowing me to connect to servers. My apt-get function dosent work at all neither does trying to install programs through synaptic package manager
[09:53] <shrift> waspius: you found one later... wehre did you find it? On the internet? Because what the package manager is saying is thatyou have the latest version that has been packaged for your Kubuntu release version. So in other words, the version packaged for kubuntu is what you have, However, out in the world somewhere, the people that write the kopete software are still working and realeasing new versions. That new version has not been imported to Kubuntu yet,
[09:53] <shrift> however.
[09:53] <waspius> shrift: i found it on the kopete webpage
[09:54] <shrift> waspius: yes, then that is a version of the software that has not yet been packaged for Kubuntu.
[09:54] <Lane> I am in need of medical err...computer assistance: when I use p0f I recieve this error:[-]  ERROR: pcap_open_live failed: socket: Operation not permitted
[09:54] <waspius> shrift: ok but how can i install it?
[09:54] <Lane> Is that a firewall deal?
[09:54] <waspius> shrift: by compiling it!so all i need is to solve the problem right?
[09:55] <shrift> waspius: you do not need to compile it fortunately. On their site they have a binary all prepared for Ubuntu Dapper. Use this link to get it: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/kopete/kopete_0.12-beta1-dapper-1_i386.deb
[09:55] <alex-weej> anyone managed to get flashplayer plugin working in epiphany in ubuntu edgy?
[09:55] <waspius> shrift: thanx..i dont understand though why i get these problems when trying to compile..what can be the fault to all this?
[09:55] <shrift> waspius: hmmm looks like that is the same version as is on Ubuntu.

[09:57] <DanHowell> resolv.conf only has "nameserver <my router IP>" in it. My router has no DNS options that I can see. My browser is working DNS out properly, as is ping. Nothing else seems to be.
[09:58] <Lane> Does anyone know what this means? when I use p0f I recieve this error:[-]  ERROR: pcap_open_live failed: socket: Operation not permitted
[09:58] <NemesisUK> DanHowell, check out you host providers help pages for their dns server addresses
[09:59] <Ych> what is better to use, Xgl or AIGLX? considering i have dual monitors...
[09:59] <POVaddct> DanHowell: which is not working with dns for example?
[10:00] <shrift> waspius: this is the deal. In Ubuntu/Kubuntu etc, we have people that take software programs from other developers in the world, Like Gnome, Firefox, KDE, Kopete, and they compile them to work specifically on Ubuntu/Kubuntu. However, they only compile a certain version of it at a time. So we end up with a "stable" version of the software for Ubuntu. Meanwhile in the world people are still writing new software, but we cannot just introduce that into our S
[10:00] <shrift> table Ubuntu without causing problems. Therefore that new software doesn't get in until the next release of Ubuntu.
[10:00] <waspius> shrift: ok i understand..can u tell me what make and clean make have as a difference?
[10:01] <shadeofgrey> hey does anybody here know lots about smart phone cell phones?
[10:01] <EGLN|BF2|Miniman> helloo!
[10:01] <EGLN|BF2|Miniman> Anyone alive
[10:02] <shrift> waspius: ok and so then the trouble with compiling. when you try to compile something it calls all of these dependencies. Dependencies are other packages and libraries taht contain information taht your current package wants. When that dependency is not installed, your package complains when you try to compile it.
[10:02] <waspius> shrift: ok i get that
[10:02] <shrift> waspius: so the compiling process goes like this, the ./configure command checks your system to make sure it has all of the dependencies, and then the "make" command prepares the actual files for install
[10:03] <waspius> shrift: ok
[10:03] <omong_kosong> infobash
[10:03] <shrift> waspius: "make clean" removes the changes that "make" made to the files, in case you need to start over.
[10:03] <omong_kosong> !infobash
[10:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about infobash - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:03] <waspius> shrift: ok got it..thanx allot allot:)
[10:04] <shrift> waspius: after that, I reccomend using "checkinstall" to install the program, because this makes the file into a .deb instead of using "make install" because make install just puts the files on the system without using our package manager.
[10:04] <heeeelp> does anyone know how to set up hdparm.conf?
[10:05] <shrift> waspius: so what you should do when trying to compile something is go to the developer's website and look for a list of dependencies that you need to have installed.
[10:05] <bigb> i need help, my screen seems to freeze during a milisecond once per second(even in desktop), so i can't play games
[10:05] <NemesisUK> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-16360.html heeeelp
[10:05] <shrift> waspius: and keep in mind that when you are looking for those depencencies in the repositories, you need the -dev version of them.
[10:05] <waspius> shrift: ok..thanx...by the way checkinstall command is not found
[10:05] <heeeelp> NemesisUK, what were you referring to with the 'session' screen?!?
[10:06] <NemesisUK> heeeelp, doesnt matter would mean creating a script and the link i sent you is simpler
[10:07] <robert_> where is slapd.conf under 6.06?
[10:07] <bigb> i need help, my screen seems to freeze during a milisecond once per second(even in desktop), so i can't play games
[10:07] <heeeelp> k
[10:07] <shrift> waspius: sudo apt-get install checkinstall
[10:07] <looktj> finally
[10:07] <shrift> waspius: here is the info and dependencies you need for compiling kopete: http://kopete.kde.org/buildtips.php
[10:08] <looktj> i got my wireless to work on the internet
[10:08] <waspius> shrift: ok thanx..sorry for all this mess
[10:08] <shrift> waspius: no problem, there is a definite learning curve to compiling. I am glad to help. I remember being frustrated learning it all myself.
[10:08] <brl4n> i installed updates and now ubuntu won't boot
[10:10] <Toge> how can I convert avi(dvix/xvid) to DVD (.vob, .ifo)?
[10:10] <Toge> do you know some program?
[10:10] <rsk> mencoder
[10:11] <bobby> I am having a difficult with the Ubuntu Installer
[10:11] <Toge> does mencoder have GUI?
[10:11] <NemesisUK> Toge, k3b or mencoder
[10:11] <Stegozor> Hi everyone, I'm new to ubuntu and hav e some questions : my default mail application is Thunderbird, but when I right click on a file on my desktop and then choose to send it, only evolution is suggested, I can't choose TB. What should I do to get TB that way?
[10:11] <Toge> I cant convert with K3b, only record
[10:12] <zzaza> hi all
[10:12] <bobby> How can i fix the ubuntu installer erroring "non-ubuntu cd detected"?
[10:13] <NemesisUK> Toge, http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/Applications_GUI_Multimedia/AVI_to_DVD check that out
[10:14] <DanHowell> I am trying to edit /etc/resolv.conf as root, and it's insisting it's read only
[10:14] <Jowi> Stegozor: http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/cat-fileproc.php (see "send file as email attachment - Thunderbird" script). don't ask me how to install it. i don't have nautilus here :)
[10:14] <digital__> How do I install all of open office? I just installed XUbuntu and it didn't come with it.
[10:14] <rsk> digital__: with synaptic
[10:15] <digital__> rsk: yes with synaptic. Is there a package that installes all of open office
[10:15] <yonasb> how can I generate pdf file out of sgml file?
[10:15] <POVaddct> DanHowell: ls -l /etc/resolv.conf
[10:15] <digital__> rsk: Or do I have to select all of them
[10:15] <Stegozor> Jowi : thanks. I also would like to replace the default application to play music from Totem to VLC. Where & how can I do that?
[10:16] <Jowi> Stegozor: there should be a "default applications" setting in gnome somewhere. I also don't use gnome atm
[10:16] <compilerwriter> hello there.
[10:16] <bruce89> for xfce - sudo aptitude install openoffice.org-gtk
[10:16] <DanHowell> POV: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23 2006-08-13 23:52 /etc/resolv.conf
[10:16] <Noah0504> Good day to all.
[10:16] <POVaddct> DanHowell: then it is writable for root
[10:16] <bruce89> !info openoffice.org-gtk
[10:16] <ubotu> Package openofficeorg-gtk does not exist in dapper
[10:17] <NemesisUK> Stegozor, right click on the media file goto open with and select your app from there
[10:17] <Stegozor> yeah, there's a default applications setting, but only for terminal web and mail, nothing else. Somewhat strange, in windows such things are much easier
[10:17] <DanHowell> POV: so just gedit /etc/resolv.conf?
[10:17] <plastic> Noah0504, Or good night to someone.. ;-)
[10:17] <compilerwriter> I have a quick question.  I just installed Ubuntu on my PC   and love it, but am not sure if there is already a skype program installed or if I need to go get one?
[10:17] <POVaddct> DanHowell: if you are root, yes
[10:17] <Jowi> !skype
[10:17] <ubotu> To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Skype To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto
[10:17] <DanHowell> still read only.
[10:17] <hbi> hey i have a problem once i get from the kubuntu load screen no login screen appears only the kbuntu load screen how can i fix it?
[10:17] <NemesisUK> compilerwriter, do you have ekiga installed
[10:17] <digital__> Do I want the gtk version of open office or just the x version
[10:17] <Stegozor> NemesisUK : that's what I'm doing, but as Totem doesn't want to play mp3 files, I'd like to replace it with VLC on the top of the contextual menu
[10:18] <compilerwriter> I am not sure but will go look.
[10:18] <POVaddct> DanHowell: are you root on the shell from where you start gedit?
[10:18] <JackMacOKC> digital: gtk
[10:18] <Noah0504> plastic: I'll include both next time.
[10:18] <Noah0504> :)
[10:18] <bruce89> DanHowell, gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf
[10:18] <DanHowell> POV: yep, prompt is root@my-computer
[10:18] <digital__> JackMacOKC: OK
[10:18] <plastic> Noah0504, NICE :)
[10:18] <POVaddct> DanHowell: what is the output of: id
[10:18] <hbi> any1 got any ideas for me?
[10:18] <Stegozor> compilerwriter : give wengophone a try, it's open source (GPL).
[10:18] <Stegozor> from synaptic
[10:18] <ych> !xgl
[10:18] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[10:19] <DanHowell> POV: uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
[10:19] <POVaddct> DanHowell: hmm, then the file must be on a filesystem that is mounted read-only
[10:19] <NemesisUK> Stegozor, if it not in the list use properties-open with add and then add vlc to the list
[10:19] <DanHowell> ?
[10:19] <NemesisUK> *its
[10:20] <POVaddct> DanHowell: can you do this: cp /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf.BAK
[10:20] <Stegozor> NemesisUK : it was exactly what I was looking for, thank you :)
[10:21] <DanHowell> POV: yes, that worked
[10:21] <NemesisUK> Stegozor, np :)
[10:22] <disastorm> hi
[10:22] <hbi> hey i have a problem once i get from the kubuntu load screen no login screen appears only the kbuntu load screen how can i fix it?
[10:22] <DanHowell> POV: what's the next step?
[10:22] <POVaddct> DanHowell: can you use another editor? do you have mcedit?
[10:22] <disastorm> hi i installed the ubuntu ati drivers and they worked but then i installed ati drivers and i got only 150 fps on glxgears so i tried to reinstall the other drivers but im still getting 150 fps
[10:23] <NemesisUK> DanHowell, use nano -w /etc/resolv.conf
[10:23] <heeeelp> actually, NemesisUK I just realized that the nodma is required whether I'm mounting my hard drive OR my cdrom for a live boot.  Would that mean that the problem is more likely to be a motherboard/BIOS problem?????
[10:23] <Squisher> Hi, my dapper system now always stops at checking filesystems, jumps the text mode console and won't continue until I press CTRL-C... anyone know why?
[10:23] <POVaddct> NemesisUK: i wonder why gedit tell him it is read-only
[10:23] <NemesisUK> heeeelp, sounds like a bios issue or maybe the mobo, check for a newer bios
[10:24] <NemesisUK> POVaddct, it's strange for sure
[10:24] <disastorm> hi i installed the ubuntu ati drivers and they worked but then i installed ati drivers and i got only 150 fps on glxgears so i tried to reinstall the other drivers but im still getting 150 fps
[10:24] <jrib> how can I logout of gnome without using the menu entry in the panel?
[10:24] <heeeelp> NemesisUK:  I dont think the RS480 Bios is supported anymore, is it??  I've googled the shit out of it
[10:24] <DanHowell> POV: still not getting permission
[10:24] <NemesisUK> heeeelp, got a full mobo model name and number
[10:24] <DanHowell> bigger problem. looks like my entire filesystem is read only
[10:24] <heeeelp> brb
[10:25] <Lord_Shimfs> it makes me cry that i cant get my damn boardcom internal wlan card to work on ubuntu :(
[10:25] <POVaddct> DanHowell: if you just want to put in one line in the file, you can also use this: echo "namserver <IP_ADDRESS>" > /etc/resolv.conf
[10:25] <POVaddct> DanHowell: correction: echo "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" > /etc/resolv.conf
[10:25] <hbi> fuck ill have to reinstall
[10:25] <hbi> ooh sorry
[10:25] <hbi> swore

[10:26] <hbi> 66?
[10:26] <disastorm> hi i installed the ubuntu ati drivers and they worked but then i installed ati drivers and i got only 150 fps on glxgears so i tried to reinstall the other drivers but im still getting 150 fps
[10:26] <Daishi> so i was editing kopt= in /boot/grub/menu.1st and then ran update-grub and it removed the changes
[10:26] <NemesisUK> disastorm, how fast was other 3d stuff tho
[10:27] <disastorm> i dunno i havnt run other 3d stuff but before i got 2000 or 3000 fps on glxgears
[10:27] <hbi> can anyone tellme how to fix the fact that my splash screen doesnt come up so i cnat login
[10:27] <NemesisUK> disastorm, did you run fgl_glxgears
[10:27] <Stegozor> how can I set Thunberbird to send files when I right click on them and then choose send to? What do you use, Evolution or something else for that?
[10:27] <disastorm> oh
[10:27] <disastorm> hold on let me try
[10:27] <DanHowell> permission to alter denied
[10:27] <disastorm> maybe thats what i ran before
[10:27] <Jowi> Stegozor: I just gave you a link a few minutes ago
[10:28] <disastorm> oh wait
[10:28] <cyfr> Hello PLEASE could someone tell me how to reset the alsamixer settings to default?   So before suffering more, I hoped that a softer way existed... :/
[10:28] <disastorm> i get a floating point exception
[10:28] <NemesisUK> disastorm, i'd uninstall fglrx drivers and reinstall em cause it shouldnt be doing that
[10:28] <Jowi> Stegozor: ah :)
[10:28] <Jowi> night all.
[10:28] <heeeelp> NemesisUK: RS480-M Rev: 1
[10:28] <disastorm> how do i do that
[10:29] <Stegozor> Right now I'm playing with gconf, and I think I'll end up with a big mistake soon
[10:29] <hbi> can anyone tellme how to fix the fact that my splash screen doesnt come up so i cnat login!!!!
[10:29] <egkamp> hello, I'm trying to install over a windows xp using the Live CD, but it is *slow*, taking over an hour to display the desktop, and clicking "Install" icon has taken over 20 minutes to open a window, which is still trying to fill the language selection...is there still a non-live installation CD? where to get the iso? any help is appreciated!
[10:29] <NemesisUK> heeeelp, what bios version do you have now? is it lover that 1.2c
[10:30] <NemesisUK> *lower
[10:30] <DanHowell> POV: root@Dan-Laptop:~# echo "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" > /etc/resolv.conf
[10:30] <DanHowell> bash: /etc/resolv.conf: Permission denied
[10:30] <Flannel> egkamp: the alternate CD
[10:30] <cyfr> Hello PLEASE could someone tell me how to reset the alsamixer settings to default?   The extra flexibility it allows stems from not using the liveCD instller
[10:31] <NemesisUK> disastorm, then use the drivers from ati, if you have any problems pm me :)
[10:31] <POVaddct> DanHowell: hmmm, i'm getting out of ideas
[10:32] <NemesisUK> DanHowell, try sudo nano -w /etc/resolv.conf
[10:32] <disastorm> after those 2 commands i follow the walkthrough for the ati drivers?
[10:32] <egkamp> flannel: am wget-ing it now :-) again, thanks!
[10:32] <NemesisUK> disastorm, yup
[10:32] <disastorm> ok
[10:32] <Stegozor> Another question : on synaptic, latest version of OPen Office is 2.0.2 but on the website 2.0.3. Same for Firefox, synaptic <IP_ADDRESS>, web 1.5.0
[10:32] <cyfr> Does nobody know how to reset the sound? I thouht it would be something simple
[10:32] <POVaddct> NemesisUK: if even shell redirection doesn't work, why should nano?
[10:32] <Stegozor> I mean <IP_ADDRESS>
[10:32] <iturk> hi there !! i am getting Cannot open device /dev/wacom No such file or directory when running the xserver ?? what can it be the problem ??
[10:33] <Lamego> Stegozor, ubuntu only applies security and other minor fixes after the release
[10:33] <NemesisUK> POVaddct, it's the sudo part im interested in seeing what it does for him in root
[10:33] <POVaddct> NemesisUK: ah okay
[10:33] <NemesisUK> POVaddct, out of interest and all
[10:34] <h4ch3r> some use the Ubuntu edgy eft 6.10 ?
[10:34] <Stegozor> Lamego : so to get latest versions I should directly download the packages myself?
[10:34] <cyfr> *cries*
[10:34] <Lamego> Steggy, yes, or hope they get into the ubuntu backports, and add the backports repository to your list
[10:34] <rkd> Stegozor: check out the ubuntu backports, i think this is what they're for
[10:34] <Flannel> h4ch3r: not yet.  Its still really unstable.  you can go to #ubuntu+1 for help and support, if you need it
[10:34] <h4ch3r> Flannel:
[10:34] <h4ch3r> thanks guy
[10:34] <DanHowell> POV: still getting Permission Denied messages, as root
[10:34] <h4ch3r> ;-)
[10:35] <NemesisUK> DanHowell, can you do ls -l /etc/resolv.conf again for us
[10:35] <NemesisUK> DanHowell, and post the output I missed it last time
[10:36] <cyfr> Hello PLEASE could someone tell me how to reset the alsamixer settings to default? My sound sounds like shit and I dont know what ive done because theres so many options!!
[10:36] <hbi> can anyone tellme how to fix the fact that my splash screen doesnt come up so i cnat login!!!!
[10:36] <looktj> Ctrl+F7?
[10:36] <Lamego> hbi, switch to the text console with CLTR-ALT-F1
[10:36] <doublehp> how can I upgrade to firefox 1.5 ?

[10:37] <hbi> Lamego,
[10:37] <cyfr> :(
[10:37] <treitter> does anyone know if/how sshd automatically handles rsync connections?
[10:37] <cyfr> Ah well back to windows xp :p
[10:37] <Flannel> doublehp: youre using breezy?
[10:37] <treitter> most importantly, how would I configure the rsync part of it?
[10:38] <h4ch3r> Flannel:
[10:38] <POVaddct> DanHowell: which version of ubuntu do you run?
[10:38] <Lamego> treitter, it does if you use the ssh command on the rsync options
[10:38] <cyfr> Seems sad that I have to go use xp... ubuntu support used to be amazing :(
[10:38] <NemesisUK> DanHowell, , you tried from your user accnt with sudo?
[10:38] <treitter> Lamego: you mean if I use user@host:/path/to/files syntax?
[10:38] <Lamego> treitter, it is the way around sshd does not support the rsync protocol, rsync does support using ssh
[10:38] <DanHowell> POV: just went over to 6.06
[10:38] <DanHowell> POV: yes, that too
[10:39] <Down_II> does anyone know how to get back into dapper after adjusting screen resolution in xorg i think and then dapper restarting and only going into text version
[10:39] <POVaddct> DanHowell: do you have a separate partition for /etc ?
[10:39] <DanHowell> POV: no.
[10:39] <waspius> shrift: thanx allot for everything good night
[10:40] <Lamego> Down_II, reconfigure your X Server with  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:40] <compengi> how to limit disc space per user
[10:40] <NemesisUK> DanHowell, can you delete the file with rm -rf and then create it again from scratch
[10:40] <shrift> waspius: np, hope you have happy compiling, bye!
[10:40] <cyfr> Hello PLEASE could someone tell me how to reset the alsamixer settings to default? My sound sounds like shit and I dont know what ive done because theres so many options!!
[10:40] <Lamego> compengi, sudo apt-get install quota && man quota
[10:41] <Lamego> cyfr, please do not repeat
[10:41] <compengi> Lamego, is it what i want?
[10:41] <cyfr> Someone please answer then :( its so simple and ive been trying days
[10:41] <DanHowell> POV: Operation not permitted, as root
[10:41] <Lamego> compengi, that installats quota support, you will need to read the manul to understand how to use it
[10:41] <Flannel> !tell cyfr about patience
[10:41] <iturk> i have the Wacom input driver installed in the xorg !! but when i do startx i get Xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/wacom No such file or directory !! What can it be the problem ??
[10:42] <POVaddct> DanHowell: Operation not permitted is not the same as Permission denied
[10:42] <Lamego> cyfr, because it is not so simple, there is no one answering, repeating will not get you better results
[10:42] <cyfr> I have no patience after days. I'd rather install windows where I know how to reset sound settings :|
[10:42] <rattboi> I have a non-ubuntu-specific question
[10:42] <DanHowell> POV: right
[10:42] <NemesisUK> DanHowell, has you hostname got messed up somehow, cause I had a similar prob with ubuntu when that happened to me
[10:43] <Flannel> Eh, cyfr.  That was more about 'no one knows at the moment, keep asking (although not every 5 minutes as you have been) and eventually you'll hit someone who knows the answer.  In the meantime, google, and check the forums (and maybe post in them)
[10:43] <coopster> cyfr, look in google, it is a simple question, and googling "alsamixer restore default" should do the trick.
[10:43] <mr> question, does ubuntu breezy badger come with ndiswrapper on it
[10:43] <POVaddct> DanHowell: lsattr /etc/resolv.conf
[10:43] <Flannel> mr: yes
[10:43] <rattboi> I want to set up a cross-compiler so I can compile x86 linux apps from ppc ubuntu
[10:43] <DanHowell> POV: ----i------------ /etc/resolv.conf
[10:43] <ych> how do i move around the cube in XGL by default?
[10:43] <Flannel> rattboi: gcc can do that
[10:43] <POVaddct> DanHowell: ha! some dumbass set it immutable
[10:44] <rattboi> Flannel: yeah, but there's no package, right?
[10:44] <POVaddct> DanHowell: chattr -i /etc/resolv.conf
[10:44] <mr> allright then how come ndiswrapper command is not found
[10:44] <Flannel> rattboi: package?
[10:44] <rattboi> so I'll have to compile my own x86-gcc or something?
[10:44] <Flannel> rattboi: no, use PPC gcc, and specify a target arch
[10:44] <Flannel> mr: it's in universe, if I remember correctly
[10:44] <mr> flannel: what does that mean
[10:45] <rattboi> Flannel: no, that can't be right
[10:45] <Flannel> ych: ctrl (or alt) click and drag the desktop.  #ubuntu-xgl for XGL support
[10:45] <rattboi> I mean, not if that arch isn't compiled into my version of gcc
[10:45] <Flannel> rattboi: why can't it?
[10:45] <gudalo> hi all
[10:45] <Flannel> !tell mr about repositories
[10:45] <treitter> Lamego: thanks!
[10:45] <Lamego> rattboi, you dont need an i386 compiler to generate i386 code
[10:45] <DanHowell> POV: ok, that worked
[10:46] <rattboi> Lamego: I know that
[10:46] <DanHowell> going to try something, back shortly
[10:46] <POVaddct> DanHowell: it should be writable now
[10:46] <mr> all i'm saying is when i type ndiswrapper -i filename.inf it tells me the command is not found
[10:46] <rattboi> but doing "apt-get install build-essential" won't let me build x86 stuff
[10:46] <Flannel> mr: right, you need to install ndiswrapper first
[10:46] <rattboi> I need x86 targetted binutils and gcc
[10:46] <adam> hello?
[10:46] <mr> flannel: why didn' you say so
[10:46] <adam> good I can speak.
[10:46] <DanHowell> I think that worked
[10:46] <Flannel> rattboi: build-essential contains gcc
[10:47] <rattboi> but the ppc version isn't targetted to x86
