[07:35] <ubotu> apache is, like, totally, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ApacheMySQLPHP
[07:35] <arrick> FLSimpsonKPT, ^^
[07:35] <FLSimpsonKPT> arrick:ty
[07:36] <scifi> eobanb: pressed enable but nothing seemed to happen
[07:36] <arrick> FLSimpsonKPT, also typ 'man apache2' in terminal and it will help quite a bit
[07:36] <kingspawn> v3rmap: and man 2 <whatever> to access the pages for kernel calls etc
[07:36] <eobanb> scifi, did you pick a mount point for it?
[07:36] <saik0> Can anybody tell me whats wrong with this gst pipleline? filesrc location=foo.wma ! ffdec_wma2 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! alsasink
[07:36] <FLSimpsonKPT> arrick: i need help extacting files to it
[07:36] <FLSimpsonKPT> arrick: trying to install php-fusion
[07:36] <saik0> i get "gstffmpegdec.c(1276): gst_ffmpegdec_chain (): /pipeline0/ffdec_wmav20"
[07:37] <necromancer> Hello folks! can someone please tell me how to disable "close tab" buttons in Gnome? I am hitting them accidentally everywhere :(
[07:37] <arrick> checkout the wiki page, it should help out
[07:37] <scifi> eobanb: how? :P
[07:37] <nathanael> Is Qemu available for Ubuntu?
[07:37] <eobanb> nathanael, sure
[07:37] <necromancer> Especially in Epiphany and Gedit
[07:37] <Tomcat_> nathanael: Yes, even packaged.
[07:37] <FLSimpsonKPT> arrick: kk
[07:37] <nathanael> ooh - nice
[07:37] <marek_> how to get apache to autostart upon boot?
[07:37] <Tomcat_> !package qemu
[07:37] <ubotu> Did you get hit by a windmill? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Tomcat_
[07:37] <arrick> either that or you;ll have to wait until IdleOne gets done moving, or duelboot comes on
[07:37] <Tomcat_> Or however that works.
[07:37] <arrick> tomcat
[07:38] <bjorn_> How do I log in as root in Ubuntu?
[07:38] <arrick> Tomcat_, !info qemu
[07:38] <arrick> !root
[07:38] <ubotu> [root]  Direct logging as the root user is disabled in Ubuntu. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
[07:38] <nathanael> !package wxvlc
[07:38] <ubotu> I give up. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, nathanael
[07:38] <tombo_> I have a new instal of Ubuntu.  Had trouble with display which was fixed by adding a new user, but I am unable to open any system or administration progs. Can anyone help?
[07:38] <eobanb> scifi, do you see under the partitions tab for the disk in question, where it says Access Path
[07:38] <bjorn_> But I need to log in as root to use alien, it tells me
[07:38] <kingspawn> bjorn_: do "sudo" in front
[07:38] <arrick> nathanael, try !info wxvlc
[07:38] <marvinalone> i'm setting up a single signon/roaming profile solution right now for a small number of machines, and i'm not sure whether i should use mysql or ldap for it ... any hints?
[07:38] <Tomcat_> !info qemu
[07:38] <ubotu> qemu: (fast processor emulator), section universe/misc, is optional. Version: 0.7.0-4ubuntu1 (breezy), Packaged size: 1783 kB, Installed size: 5332 kB
[07:38] <kingspawn> bjorn_: like sudo alien <whatever>
[07:38] <Tomcat_> Ah. :)
[07:39] <eobanb> scifi, you can hit Change and choose a directory where the disk will be mounted; that's where you'll be able to browse the disk, but navigating to that folder
[07:39] <scifi> eoband: yeh it says none at the mo...i go into change, so i can just choose desktop or filesystem?
[07:39] <scifi> k thx
[07:39] <eobanb> scifi, i like to choose a path like /media/windows or something
[07:39] <scifi> ok
[07:39] <EnsignRedshirt> bjorn_: ...and enter *your* password when it asks.
[07:39] <dxdemetriou> hi
[07:39] <marek_> anyone know how to get apache to autostart upon system boot?
[07:39] <eobanb> scifi, you don't want to use your desktop as a mount point
[07:39] <scifi> lol :D
[07:39] <Tomcat_> marek_: Install the package, that will make it autostart.
[07:40] <bjorn_> i get this:
[07:40] <bjorn_> something with line 499
[07:40] <bjorn_> i cant copy t
[07:40] <bjorn_> it
[07:40] <dxdemetriou> can you tell me the command that makes a copy all directories and subdir., and the command that can changes user and permissions for dir/subdirs?
[07:40] <necromancer> anyone knows how to disable "close tab" button in epiphany and gedit? gnome channel is dead :(
[07:41] <EnsignRedshirt> dxdemetriou: The cp command has a -r option.
[07:41] <kingspawn> dxdemetriou: cp -R copies recursively
[07:41] <Tomcat_> dxdemetriou: I think "cp -a" will work. :o
[07:41] <scifi> eobanb: ok created the mount point, try to access it put it says i dont have the necessary permissions to access it
[07:41] <Tomcat_> dxdemetriou: chmod -R and chown -R are for the perms
[07:42] <FLSimpsonKPT> how do i extract files in the terminal?
[07:42] <alon> is there a difference between installing ubuntu, then kde, and removing gnome. to downloading kubuntu from the start?
[07:42] <doofy> how do i install wine on dapper drake?
[07:42] <eobanb> scifi, if you made the directory as root, you'll have to browse it as root, or you can change permissions on it.
[07:42] <dxdemetriou> Tomcat_: this can work with all dirs/subdirs?
[07:42] <nathanael> kubuntu has a lot of kubuntu-tweaks
[07:42] <kingspawn> FLSimpsonKPT: if its a .tgz or tar.gz yuo go tar zxvf file
[07:42] <eobanb> doofy, sudo apt-get install wine
[07:42] <marek_> tomcat_, do you know anything about config'ing mysql?
[07:42] <nathanael> That are not present in KDE-Core
[07:42] <simon> FLSimpsoKPT: if it is a .tgz: tar xzf file.tgz
[07:42] <FLSimpsonKPT> kingspawn:its a zip
[07:43] <kingspawn> FLSimpsonKPT: unzip then
[07:43] <doofy> eobanb: do I need to have a certain repository?
[07:43] <alon> is there a difference between installing ubuntu, then kde, and removing gnome. to downloading kubuntu from the start?
[07:43] <bjorn_> kingspawn?
[07:43] <eobanb> doofy, if you're already running dapper, then the repositories will be set to dapper's, and wine is in dapper's repo
[07:43] <FLSimpsonKPT> kingspawn: i cant it doesnt give me the write permissions to the folder
[07:43] <eobanb> doofy, so basically, no
[07:43] <bjorn_> i get this:
[07:43] <simon> alon: nope
[07:43] <doofy> eobanb: Its not finding it in there
[07:43] <bjorn_> bjorn@ubuntu:~$ sudo alien mozctlinstaller.rpm
[07:43] <bjorn_> Error executing "LANG=C rpm -qp --queryformat %{SUMMARY} mozctlinstaller.rpm": at /usr/share/perl5/Alien/Package.pm line 449.
[07:43] <Tomcat_> marek_: Sure, just ask away. I'm sure there are lots of people in here who know about MySQL.
[07:43] <Tomcat_> dxdemetriou: Yes.
[07:44] <FLSimpsonKPT> kingspawn: its for my webserver
[07:44] <doofy> eobanb: Package wine is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[07:44] <doofy> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[07:44] <doofy> is only available from another source
[07:44] <doofy> E: Package wine has no installation candidate
[07:44] <alon> simon how much time would it take to download kde?
[07:44] <dxdemetriou> Thanks for the help :)
[07:44] <eobanb> oh, sorry, doofy, it's in universe
[07:44] <nathanael> Is there a hotkey combo for switching between tabs in terminal and/or firefox?
[07:44] <tombo_> Can any one tell me how to administer ubuntu in a terminal.  I need to log in as root and create a new root acount
[07:44] <eobanb> doofy, just open Synaptic and add Universe
[07:44] <EnsignRedshirt> doofy: You can use the official wine repository, by adding this so sources.list: deb  http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt/ binary/
[07:44] <nathanael> open terminal, then "sudo su"
[07:44] <kingspawn> FLSimpsonKPT: eh? sudo infront then
[07:44] <FLSimpsonKPT> tombo_: there is no root account in ubuntu
[07:44] <marek_> anyone know how to start/stop & config mysql that is installed through pkg mgr
[07:44] <eobanb> EnsignRedshirt, i dont think that's a good idea..
[07:44] <FLSimpsonKPT> tombo_: it is just sudo
[07:45] <nathanael> If ou use "sudo su", followed by the root password, you maintain root privs
[07:45] <_harm> when is dapper coming out?
[07:45] <Sionide> FLSimpsonKPT, sudo su  means you get a root@ prompt actually..
[07:45] <doofy> eobanb: I already have universe, but I don't think it's in there. I'll try the wine repository
[07:45] <nathanael> Thank you
[07:45] <Sionide> _harm, june 1st last time i checked
[07:45] <eobanb> doofy, it is in fact in universe.
[07:45] <bjorn_> kingspawn?
[07:45] <eobanb> http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/otherosfs/wine
[07:45] <KriS|work> Hi, anybody have a solution for this problem when using transcode? http://pastebin.ca/49431
[07:46] <FLSimpsonKPT> thats odd
[07:46] <FLSimpsonKPT> lol
[07:46] <kingspawn> bjorn_: well, have you got rpm installed?
[07:46] <scifi> eobanb: ok i can browse it within the disks manager :)
[07:46] <tombo_> FLSi, i cannot do any admin from the account I am in and the original account has no display.
[07:46] <doofy> eobanb: thats interesting. I'm not able to get it even with universe enabled
[07:46] <scifi> thats sweet
[07:46] <pirroH> does anyboyd remember the name of the graphical tool to dist-upgrade breezy?
[07:46] <eobanb> doofy, you can try wine's own repository, but don't blame me if something breaks
[07:46] <EnsignRedshirt> doofy: Did you update after changing the repositories?
[07:47] <bjorn_> eh i dont know, i think so
[07:47] <bjorn_> how can i check?
[07:47] <Ox0000> How can I specify the size of a ramdisk?
[07:47] <pirroH> IIRC, it is a package in backports
[07:47] <kingspawn> bjorn_: just type rpm
[07:47] <doofy> EnsignRedshirt: yes
[07:47] <eobanb> scifi, that's because the disks manager runs as root
[07:47] <Dr_Willis> tombo_,  you are saying your iniitally made account cant get to X but a different user account can?
[07:47] <doofy> eobanb: I'm not seeing it even when adding wine's repository
[07:47] <bjorn_> yes i have
[07:47] <scifi> eobanb: but nautalius doesnt?
[07:47] <kingspawn> bjorn_: then i have no idea, never used alien
[07:47] <eobanb> scifi, if you (for example) run an instance of nautilus as root (e.g. 'sudo nautilus') then you would be able to browse it, but you're better off just setting the permissions appropriately
[07:47] <bjorn_> oh ok, np
[07:48] <tombo_> Dr-Willis- yes, thats right
[07:48] <eobanb> doofy, you're remembering to run sudo apt-get update right?
[07:48] <nathanael> Is there a hotkey combo for switching between tabs in terminal and/or firefox?/exit
[07:48] <doofy> eobanb: yes
[07:48] <Dr_Willis> tombo_,  delete that users .gnome* or .kde* config dirs to reset them all back to default.. Or try another window manager.
[07:48] <scifi> eobanb: it doenst allow me to change permissions
[07:48] <Dr_Willis> tombo_,  ive seen some odd issues happen when the gnome settings get messed up.
[07:49] <eobanb> scifi, you have to change them as root..
[07:49] <EnsignRedshirt> doofy: I'm running breezy, and I see version 0.0.20050725-0ubuntu1 (from breezy) and version 0.9.11~winehq1.1 (from the sourceforge repository)
[07:49] <marek_> anyone know good name of mysql gui?
[07:49] <bjorn_> kingspawn, do you know any other way to convert rpm
[07:49] <tombo_> Dr-Willis, From the account I am in I cannot do any admin or atleast I do not know how
[07:50] <kingspawn> bjorn_: whats in the rpm youre installing? it probably exists in deb-format or in the repos
[07:50] <doofy> EnsignRedshirt: I think synaptic was reading my sources.list weird, i just added binary universe by hand and I think I may be able to see it now. 1 second
[07:50] <FLSimpsonKPT> kingspawn: that doesnt work
[07:50] <EnsignRedshirt> bjorn_: Just curious (and sorry if I missed this), what is the rpm package?
[07:50] <FLSimpsonKPT> kingspawn: i tried it
[07:50] <bjorn_> eh, its supposed to be cedega
[07:50] <Dr_Willis> tombo_,  login to the console with that original user. use the shell and mv (or delete) the .gnome* dirs (whatever they are called) also there may be some other .gconf or related dirs
[07:50] <kingspawn> FLSimpsonKPT: what doesnt work? :)
[07:50] <doofy> EnsignRedshirt: nope, would you mind posting your sources.list?
[07:50] <Dr_Willis> cedega has debs
[07:50] <FLSimpsonKPT> kingspawn: infront
[07:50] <FLSimpsonKPT> kingspawn: im confused now
[07:50] <Dr_Willis> or use the tar.gz versions
[07:51] <kingspawn> FLSimpsonKPT: i dont even know what you're asking now
[07:51] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> Question: Ok, one thing is bugging me. The directory windows...they open in a new window everytime...how do I make that stop
[07:51] <kingspawn> FLSimpsonKPT: so im confused too
[07:51] <eobanb> scifi, try sudo chmod 644 /mount/point (or whatever your mount point is)
[07:51] <FLSimpsonKPT> kingspawn: i need to extract a zip file to a  folder in my filesystem
[07:51] <eobanb> UbuntuNoob|Scott, set nautilus to be in browser mode
[07:51] <Dr_Willis> UbuntuNoob|Scott,  you mean you want to change from 'spatial to navigionational' mode :P
[07:51] <TheAsp> How can I tell if beagle is using xattr or storing all its stuff in the sqllite db?
[07:51] <tombo_> Dr-Willis  Can you tlell me how to log in  to original account from the new one?
[07:51] <FLSimpsonKPT> kingspawn: i cannot install it using acrhive manager
[07:51] <Dr_Willis> navigational = browser mode.
[07:52] <eobanb> right
[07:52] <marek_> anyone know good mysql GUI?
[07:52] <FLSimpsonKPT> kingspawn: it says i dont have the right permisisons
[07:52] <eobanb> spatial nautilus sucks :D
[07:52] <kingspawn> FLSimpsonKPT: and sudo unzip file.zip doesnt work?
[07:52] <Dr_Willis> tombo_,  use alt-ctrl-f1 and go to the console and login. :P
[07:52] <shreevatsa> UbuntuNoob|Scott: Stop using Nautilus, use "ls" instead ;)
[07:52] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> nto sure what nautilus is
[07:52] <FLSimpsonKPT> kingspawn: oh didnt try that
[07:52] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> ok
[07:52] <FLSimpsonKPT> kingspawn: i am a linux noob
[07:52] <kingspawn> shreevatsa: well said.
[07:52] <kingspawn> FLSimpsonKPT: no problem, i just got confused
[07:52] <Dr_Willis> tombo_,  or try the gdm login menus and the 'failsafe' login/session item.
[07:52] <shreevatsa> UbuntuNoob|Scott: The directory windows.. the program they open in is called Nautilus. (Roughly the equivalent of "Windows Explorer")
[07:52] <eobanb> UbuntuNoob|Scott, nautlius is the file manager
[07:53] <EnsignRedshirt> doofy: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12324
[07:53] <beta_m> firewall under ubuntu? where do i start looking....
[07:53] <doofy> EnsignRedshirt: thank you.
[07:53] <eobanb> beta_m, if you're coming from windows, you may think a firewall is more necessary than it really is; however if you still want the peace of mind you might try firestarter
[07:53] <marek_> anyone know good mysql GUI?
[07:54] <eobanb> besides phpmyadmin?
[07:54] <necromancer> marek_: nothing beats phpmyadmin
[07:54] <eobanb> well, i dont know about that..
[07:54] <eobanb> :D
[07:54] <marek_> i mean actual linux app
[07:54] <EnsignRedshirt> doofy: No problem.  I think it is basically a "stock" sources.list, exept for the sourceforge wine repository at the end.
[07:54] <EnsignRedshirt> *except
[07:54] <marek_> i understand phpmyadmin for remote admin of mysql
[07:54] <doofy> EnsignRedshirt: would it matter if im running x86_64?
[07:54] <marek_> something like CocoaSQL for mac?
[07:55] <eobanb> marek_, there's one called DBDesigner
[07:55] <tombo_> Dr-Willis, am logged in at the terminal, but I do not know names of programs or commandes to use, Grateful for any assistance
[07:55] <eobanb> marek_, yeah i like cocoamysql
[07:55] <EnsignRedshirt> doofy: I don't know, but my guess is yes.
[07:55] <necromancer> marek_: nothing as good as cocoamysql
[07:55] <slavik> frozen bubble = teh ownz0rz
[07:55] <scifi> eobanb: i take it im typing this command in terminal, when i type it in and press enter, it asks for my password, but doesnt allow me to type it :P
[07:55] <doofy> EnsignRedshirt: that could be my problem
[07:55] <kingspawn> scifi: its just invisible
[07:55] <kingspawn> scifi: you're typing, but you just dont see it
[07:56] <eobanb> ^--what kingspawn said
[07:56] <scifi> kingspawn: ok had a feeling that might be it thx
[07:56] <Phex> i've one more question how i can resize the screnn in ubuntu? (from 1152x768 to 1024x768)
[07:56] <Dr_Willis> !fixres
[07:56] <ubotu> hmm... fixres is Please read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[07:56] <FLSimpsonKPT> kingspawn: how can i extract it to /var/www ??
[07:56] <MHobbit> System -> Prefs -> Screen Resolution
[07:56] <eobanb> Phex, in the System > Preferences > Screen Resolution
[07:56] <Dr_Willis> kingspawn,   :)
[07:57] <EnsignRedshirt> doofy: Probably :(
[07:57] <marek_> with default install of mysql (from synaptic), what is default username + pass & port?
[07:57] <Phex> ok thanks
[07:57] <Dr_Willis> !mysql
[07:57] <ubotu> Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP, one of the standard internet server installations. Installing LAMP in Ubuntu is fairly straightforward. More info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ApacheMySQLPHP
[07:57] <tript>  I'm trying to compile pekwm on my new ubuntu install, but make won't set the $(MAKE)...suggestions?
[07:57] <slavik> frozen bubble = teh ownz0rz
[07:58] <eobanb> marek_, i think you have to create a user first
[07:58] <kingspawn> FLSimpsonKPT: something like unzip file.zip -d /var/www maybe
[07:58] <doofy> What is the multiverse?
[07:58] <scifi> eobanb: ran the command but still cant change permissions
[07:58] <eobanb> doofy, multiverse is a wider array of packages that contain either non-free software or other software not supported by ubuntu, but available from its official repositories
[07:58] <kingspawn> FLSimpsonKPT: remember sudo..
[07:58] <TU2> What is the latest stable version of ubuntu?
[07:59] <doofy> eobanb: would you reccomend using it?
[07:59] <eobanb> doofy, for example, java JRE is in multiverse
[07:59] <eobanb> doofy, sure, if it has something that you need in it.
[07:59] <FLSimpsonKPT> kingspawn: k
[07:59] <doofy> eobanb: okay that makes sense
[07:59] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> Nice! http://linuxhelp.blogspot.com/2006/04/linux-distributions-birds-eye-view.html
[07:59] <tript> anyone? plz help
[07:59] <slavik> TU2: breezy badger
[07:59] <[PoVal] Dutchy> ahh much <3 for the fixres link, saves me some time finding it, was one of the issues i still had here :)
[07:59] <slavik> IMO, breezy badger should've come with the badger flash videos :D
[08:00] <FLSimpsonKPT> kingspawn: yep that did it
[08:00] <kingspawn> FLSimpsonKPT: great
[08:00] <eobanb> slavik, but flash is non-free :)
[08:00] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> anyone see that linux map?
[08:00] <slavik> eobanb: the videos are ... and they are fun :D
[08:00] <bjorn_> wat is synaptic?
[08:00] <eobanb> UbuntuNoob|Scott, personally i think that's kind of a silly chart
[08:00] <slavik> !synaptic
[08:00] <ubotu> rumour has it, synaptic is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SynapticHowto
[08:01] <kingspawn> UbuntuNoob|Scott: thats pretty cool
[08:01] <eobanb> UbuntuNoob|Scott, fedora core came from red hat, not the other way around
[08:01] <slavik> fedora core claims to not be red hat :P
[08:01] <eobanb> slavik, that doesnt mean it didnt come from red hat..
[08:01] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> well, thats true, but since they dropped it, and brought it back... that migh tbe why it shows that way
[08:01] <slavik> jon posted some linux desperation logos on his blog
[08:01] <slavik> eobanb: I never said anything from that
[08:02] <kingspawn> eobanb: haha, yeah, i was just thinking about that
[08:02] <kingspawn> eobanb: looks a bit fishy
[08:02] <doofy> eobanb: does apt look for a specific package to meet your architecture? For example if it does, can i make it use the 32 bit (assuming that tehre is no 64 bit and thats why i can not find it)
[08:02] <CarlFK> what is the URL of the dapper cd that isn't daily? (flight I think?)
[08:02] <kingspawn> slavik: dont you just love the way he uses the term "reverse engineering" in every sentence?
[08:02] <TU2> is there anyway way to get the exact kernel + patches that ubuntu uses so i can add a few patches to it myself?
[08:02] <Phex> sorry one more problem i can't open a RPM file ubuntu says: archiytype not supported
[08:02] <Phex> v
[08:02] <Jhair> TU2: yes with apt-get source
[08:02] <EnsignRedshirt> Hmmm, did someone say "badger"?  http://www.jibjab.com/Oddities/OddityRedir.aspx?full=1&oddid=74
[08:03] <TU2> Jhair, whats the name of the package i am looking for?
[08:03] <eobanb> the chart seems kind of inconsistent too...i mean they have nUbuntu and Knoppix STD under "Security Related distributions" and not under Debian, even though that's where they came from
[08:03] <eobanb> and for some reason they put SELinux on there (not a distro)
[08:03] <slavik> linux is said to come fromminix, which it didn't
[08:04] <shreevatsa> yeah, and what's the diference between "Small Linux Distributions" and "Minimalist distributions"?
[08:04] <slavik> linux is written from scratch ... but inspired and influenced by minix
[08:04] <TU2> shreevatsa, a few hundred megabytes.
[08:04] <nathanael> #fedora requires me to register my nick! One more strike against them..it's too bad really.
[08:04] <schtinky> ffmpeg says /dev/video0 isn't there, but it is. I don't get it. --  http://pastebin.com/661502
[08:04] <eobanb> small is like around 50 to 100 MB
[08:04] <shreevatsa> And there is nothing fundamentally different between the ones on the left and the right...
[08:04] <eobanb> minimalist is stuff you'd run on a router on 4 MB of flash
[08:04] <slavik> eobanb: or 10MB?
[08:04] <tombo_> Can any one tell me how to edit a user account from terminal?
[08:04] <slavik> or even 400KB?
[08:05] <eobanb> slavik, kernel doesnt fit in 400K
[08:05] <Phex> need help what must i do to open RPM formats which not supported?
[08:05] <shreevatsa> TU2: Ok, but why are they so far apart? The should be related somehow :)
[08:05] <slavik> eobanb: original MINIX?
[08:05] <nathanael> usermod
[08:05] <Jhair> TU2: I don't know which kernel do you have installed. But for example there exists the following package: linux-source-2.6.15 - Linux kernel source for version 2.6.15 with Ubuntu patches
[08:05] <TU2> erm?
[08:05] <slavik> Jhair: those are for badger
[08:06] <doofy> eobanb: I just downloaded the i386 .deb from the wine repositories and im going to try and force-architecture the install
[08:06] <TU2> you can download later versions of the kernel as prebuilt packages?
[08:06] <slavik> TU2: do "uname -r" in terminal
[08:06] <doofy> eobanb: it seemed to have worked fine
[08:06] <slavik> TU2: yes
[08:06] <TU2> Ooo.
[08:06] <TU2> sweet
[08:06] <Phex> oh no i'll need help!!!
[08:06] <slavik> TU2: do "mark all upgrades" in synaptic
[08:07] <TU2> ok
[08:07] <Jhair> slavik: uh? apt-cache policy linux-source-2.6.15 says it is available for dapper
[08:07] <slavik> 12-10 is latest for breezy
[08:07] <poikol> anybody has installed canon LBP3200 ?
[08:07] <nathanael> Has anyone here successfully gotten XGL running?
[08:07] <TU2> well balls to that.
[08:07] <slavik> Jhair: what did I say?
[08:07] <tript>  I'm trying to compile pekwm on my new ubuntu install, but make won't set the $(MAKE)...suggestions?
[08:07] <Tomcat_> nathanael: Sure. :o
[08:07] <tombo_> Can any on tell me how to edit a user account to do admin fro a terminal? please.
[08:08] <simon> tombo_: man visudo
[08:09] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> looking for a system log file for errors installing software...where would I look?
[08:09] <arrick> anyone, I downloaded a file that looks like this, noip-duc-linux.tar.tar, is it double tared?
[08:09] <TU2> does the ubuntu source linux package come ready to be built?
[08:09] <TU2> (ie with a working .config)
[08:09] <simon> arrick: only one way to find out :)
[08:09] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> Errors were encountered while processing:
[08:09] <UbuntuNoob|Scott>  skype_<IP_ADDRESS>-2_i386.deb
[08:09] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> where do i see those errors?
[08:09] <kingspawn> UbuntuNoob|Scott: in /var/log
[08:10] <marek_> necromancer, mysql-query-browser is pretty much a good tool
[08:10] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> thanks
[08:10] <EnsignRedshirt> UbuntuNoob|Scott: You could try dpkg.log in /var/log
[08:10] <marek_> necromancer, check it out in synaptic pkg mgr
[08:10] <Prak> does anyone know how to set up internet connection with a cable connected to a router?
[08:10] <roryy> arrick: 'tar tf noip-duc-linux.tar' will list the contents of the tar file
[08:10] <Rdde> Hey, how can i make my samba server only comunicate trew my gbit network card? <IP_ADDRESS> ? is there some interface option?
[08:10] <patrick24601> Prak: That is what I have - just plug and play
[08:11] <Phex> hello is alien default installet in ubuntu????????????????
[08:11] <nathanael> Do you have to have XGL to get "true" transparency (ie not a terminal window that just fills with the wallpaper, instead of the window under it)?
[08:11] <arrick> and what will extract it?
[08:11] <Prak> patrick24601: ok...mine doesn't plug and play
[08:11] <kingspawn> Phex: one ? is usually enough to mark your sentence as a question
[08:11] <Phex> sorry
[08:11] <kingspawn> Phex: i believe the answer is "no"
[08:11] <FLSimpsonKPT> how can i chmod files, folders in sudo?
[08:11] <FLSimpsonKPT> its for my webserver
[08:12] <kingspawn> FLSimpsonKPT: chmod -R does stuff recursively
[08:12] <roryy> arrick:   tar xf noip-duc-linux.tar
[08:12] <patrick24601> Prak: computer is plugged into router?
[08:12] <eobanb> nathanael, that's correct
[08:12] <roryy> arrick: um, tar.tar
[08:12] <EnsignRedshirt> Phex: No, but you can easily get it.
[08:12] <patrick24601> prak: Router is plugged into cmodem?
[08:12] <necromancer> marek_: I've tried it, too many bugs and crashes every other second :)
[08:12] <Prak> patrick24601: yes
[08:12] <nathanael> I have tried every major Linux distro, and I keep coming back to Ubuntu! :p
[08:12] <eobanb> nathanael, actually, more correctly, you just need a compositor
[08:12] <FLSimpsonKPT> kingspawn: i have SSH could you do it for me?
[08:12] <Prak> router is connected to adsl modem
[08:12] <marek_> oh gosh
[08:12] <marek_> that sucks
[08:12] <nathanael> Compviz?
[08:12] <FLSimpsonKPT> kingspawn: im rather confused
[08:12] <marek_> can i connect w/ cocoasql from my mac?
[08:12] <eobanb> nathanael, you can actually do true transparency without XGL, just with xcompmgr or another compositing manager
[08:12] <Prak> patrick24601: router is connected to adsl modem
[08:13] <patrick24601> DSL!
[08:13] <eobanb> nathanael, it's crude though
[08:13] <kingspawn> FLSimpsonKPT: im one of the good guys, so i probably could, but its usually not a good idea to invite people into your computer to do admin-stuff
[08:13] <patrick24601> Is there a router manual
[08:13] <kingspawn> FLSimpsonKPT: what exactly do you want to change?
[08:13] <eobanb> nathanael, and often slow
[08:13] <Prak> yes
[08:13] <FLSimpsonKPT> kingspawn: i have an apache server i want to get going
[08:13] <arrick> ok, it just tared once
[08:13] <FLSimpsonKPT> kingspawn: im trying to install php-fusion to it
[08:13] <kingspawn> FLSimpsonKPT: heh, it wan be tiresome
[08:13] <kingspawn> s/wan/can
[08:14] <patrick24601> I had that once a long time ago - the instructions were in the router manual
[08:14] <patrick24601> It is very DSL modem dependent
[08:14] <nathanael> Any Second Life fans in here?
[08:14] <kingspawn> FLSimpsonKPT: and now you need to chmod some files?
[08:15] <FLSimpsonKPT> kingspawn: yep in order for the install to work right
[08:15] <kingspawn> FLSimpsonKPT: okay, what permissions do you need to set?
[08:15] <nathanael> SL on Linux would rock
[08:15] <jmoncayo> had sombody use amule??
[08:15] <Prak> patrick24601: what kinds of stuff should i look for in the manual?
[08:15] <FLSimpsonKPT> kingspawn: did u get that other dialog box open yet?
[08:16] <nathanael> Recommended P2P client for Ubuntu?
[08:16] <kingspawn> FLSimpsonKPT: say what?
[08:16] <eobanb> nathanael, like gnutella?
[08:16] <nathanael> yes
[08:16] <eobanb> nathanael, SL probably runs on wine
[08:16] <jmoncayo> is it gui?
[08:16] <patrick24601> The router has to authenticate (userid/password) to the DSL modem
[08:16] <eobanb> nathanael, perhaps gtk-gnutella...i've also tried limewire, which works decently
[08:17] <jmoncayo> is limewire for linux?
[08:17] <nathanael> Does acquisition have a port to Linux?
[08:17] <eobanb> yes.
[08:17] <eobanb> nathanael, no.
[08:17] <Prak> patrick24601: does windows authenticate (userid/password) to the DSL modem automatically?
[08:17] <jmoncayo> eobanb, what about giFT
[08:17] <eobanb> jmoncayo, yes
[08:17] <FLSimpsonKPT> Kingspawn: http://www.doteasy.com/ToolsLibrary/tutorial/phpfusion.cfm
[08:17] <FLSimpsonKPT> kingspawn: thats what im trying to do
[08:18] <jmoncayo> eobanb, which one should i use or is the best of the three giFT amule limewire
[08:18] <nathanael> I successfully set up configured and joined to a domain my first corporate Linux server yesterday!! (I'm p-u-m-p-e-d)
[08:18] <jmoncayo> eobanb, or is there other better thwn those?
[08:18] <eobanb> honestly i dont know; limewire is a slight hassle to install but it works quite well
[08:18] <eobanb> jmoncayo, i'd try them and see what you think
[08:18] <kingspawn> FLSimpsonKPT: well, "sudo chmod -R 777 fusion_admin/db_backups" and all the other dirs should do you nicely
[08:18] <nathanael> What about eDonkey?
[08:18] <FLSimpsonKPT> kingspawn: k
[08:19] <arrick> anyone PANIC ATTACK, why when I typed 'sudo aptitude install build-essential" is it removing stuff?
[08:19] <FLSimpsonKPT> kingspawn: what about getting the mysql admin set up
[08:19] <arrick> its removing gnome for some reason?
[08:19] <eobanb> i'm not an authoritative source on this because i do my p2p on mac os x with transmission and cabos
[08:19] <FLSimpsonKPT> kingspawn: i dont know how to do that i have it thou
[08:19] <jmoncayo> eobanb, i am installing amule hope is good
[08:19] <kingspawn> FLSimpsonKPT: no idea
[08:19] <kingspawn> arrick: now aint that special
[08:20] <eobanb> arrick, dont know, i dont use aptitude
[08:20] <kingspawn> arrick: haha, what exactly is it saying that it is removing?
[08:20] <arrick> yeah I am panicing badly, I just got the server setup
[08:20] <kingspawn> arrick: and why not just apt-get?
[08:20] <Almindor> hi peeps
[08:20] <arrick> everything with the name gnome
[08:20] <Almindor> drapper with compiz is nice :)
[08:20] <kingspawn> arrick: score :)
[08:20] <EnsignRedshirt> arrick: I guess it figures if your a developer, you don't need no fancy-pants desktop.
[08:20] <EnsignRedshirt> *your'e
[08:20] <EnsignRedshirt> *you're
[08:20] <nathanael> Is there a way to search the repositories from the command-line?
[08:20] <EnsignRedshirt> jeez
[08:20] <arrick> kingspawn, easier to remove packages if you install with aptitude
[08:20] <kingspawn> nathanael: apt-cache search <whatever>
[08:21] <eobanb> nathanael, yes, edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:21] <nathanael> thanks
[08:21] <eobanb> nathanael, oh, sorry, misread
[08:21] <NickGarvey> if I install something by source, how do I delete it?
[08:21] <nathanael> s'ok
[08:21] <kingspawn> arrick: hm, well, i've no idea, never used aptitude
[08:21] <eobanb> why would it be easier to remove packages with aptitude
[08:22] <eobanb> installing with aptitude is just installing with apt-get
[08:22] <tonyyarusso> NickGarvey: If you used 'make install' and still have the source, 'make uninstall', if you use checkinstall then you remove it like any other package.
[08:22] <wezzer> so, how close is dapper drake's release?-)
[08:22] <tonyyarusso> eobanb: But it keeps track of things smarter so it can remove metapackages.
[08:22] <eobanb> wezzer, about a month off
[08:22] <wezzer> okay
[08:23] <arrick> kingspawn, and now th stupid pastebin is messing up, wont send, just resets
[08:23] <kingspawn> arrick: calm the panic, it'll all be good :)
[08:23] <arrick> i hope so
[08:24] <lulu1> hi how can i disable framebuffering ? thanks
[08:24] <eobanb> lulu1, ...?
[08:25] <eobanb> lulu1, can you be more specific
[08:25] <rambo3> buy xorg or buy kernel
[08:25] <lulu1> well i've install easyubuntu and it has activated the framebuffer mode
[08:25] <winston> I had a weird thing happen to my user interface-- I tried plugging in a monitor in the slot hoping to have dual screen like osx does automatically with powerbooks (im using a 1999 pb ) and it didnt work at all, it boot on the monitor but I couldnt see anything on my laptop screen and then my task back started appearing in the middle of the screen when I rebooted, I rebooted again, checked the menus, but found nothing usefull, I deleted
[08:25] <winston> the task bar (the one on the bootom and now its gone even after a reboot, does anyone know a quick fix for this, and how to get two screens on there if at all possible!?
[08:26] <Kyynara_> is there a way for me to be able to get libcurl 7.15.1 for breezy, it's meant for dapper
[08:26] <eobanb> lulu1, i dont touch easyubuntu and crap like it with a ten-foot pole
[08:26] <sontek> Hey, I did apt-get install monodevelop and I was playing with it and it crashed, and now it wont open and it says "Please reinstall" in console.. But when I apt-get remove && apt-get install it doesn't fix it
[08:26] <Marineboy> g'morning
[08:26] <NickGarvey> tonyyarusso: thank you very much
[08:26] <eobanb> winston, newsflash, ubuntu != mac os x
[08:26] <kingspawn> sontek: try apt-get --purge remove
[08:26] <lulu1> Well the thing is the system boot with framebuffer ON and i want to set it OFF ... like with a default install .... any tips ?

[08:28] <NickGarvey> arrick: apt-get install make?
[08:28] <bjorn_> or is that wrong?
[08:28] <winston> eoband not news to me... why doesnt it support two monitors? and why does it screw up the task bar positioning?
[08:29] <arrick> NickGarvey, I did the aptitude install build-essential, shouldnt that install make as well?
[08:29] <NickGarvey> winston: google it
[08:29] <NickGarvey> arrick: yes..
[08:29] <bjorn_> rambo3?
[08:29] <arrick> NickGarvey, what do I have to do to egt it working?
[08:29] <rambo3> ok you need full path to your cd like wine "/media/cdrom0/ " to exec the game
[08:29] <NickGarvey> arrick: "which make"
[08:29] <Kyynara_> is there a way for me to be able to get libcurl 7.15.1 for breezy? It's meant for dapper and the version available for breezy is 7.14.x
[08:29] <bjorn_> ok ill try
[08:30] <arrick> NickGarvey, I am using the no-ip client and it says to make, then make install, to put everything in the right directory

[09:07] <Shamaho> x
[09:07] <scifi> rambo3: sorry how do i list files?
[09:07] <mac> arrick: cat /etc/resolv.conf
[09:08] <BBHoss> sounds like dns
[09:08] <arrick> I cant get the repos to update afte ri did the install of build-essential and it uninstalled gnome
[09:08] <mac> your dns servers are not correct, most likley
[09:08] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> im in /home/sdv
[09:08] <Iikori> can some1 help me to install PC card to ubuntu msg me
[09:08] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> and do an ls - I see desktop and downloads
[09:08] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> thats it
[09:08] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> and I cant cd to either of them
[09:08] <rambo3> scifi:  cd /etc/X11/  && ls -l |grep xorg
[09:08] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> should i be able to?
[09:09] <kingspawn> arrick: has the comp still got an ip? does your /etc/resolv.conf look right?
[09:09] <Davey> How best to determine where my HD space is allocated so I can delete crap? :)
[09:09] <kingspawn> UbuntuNoob|Scott: remember Case Sensitive
[09:09] <EnsignRedshirt> arrick: Good luck, time for me to go.
[09:09] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> tried that
[09:09] <kingspawn> UbuntuNoob|Scott: cd Desktop, not cd desktop
[09:09] <clem_yeats> ok, I've found out.. sendmail is simply listening on port 25.. no authorization required.
[09:09] <bjorn_> how come there shows an icon on my desktop when i put a cd in my laptop
[09:09] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> ok
[09:09] <arrick> kingspawn/ mac:$ cat /etc/resolv.conf # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)#     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
[09:09] <bjorn_> and whats useful about that
[09:09] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> so why do I do it WO a / this time
[09:09] <mac> If that is all, you have no dns servers installed
[09:09] <mac> Enter your network configuration tool, and set up some
[09:10] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> to get to directories i have to do /tmp
[09:10] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> but to get to desktop i dont use /
[09:10] <simon> UbuntuNoob|Scott: when you start with a / you go to the top directory
[09:10] <arrick> I use my isp dns
[09:10] <simon> UbuntuNoob|Scott: try cd / and then ls
[09:10] <hollowman8904> in windows, how do i change my login name after i have already logged into a share?  i logged in once and want to change users, but i dont know how
[09:10] <kingspawn> UbuntuNoob|Scott: a / is sort of a delimiter. / means "the root of your disk" - so tmp is located just one level up from /, ie /tmp
[09:10] <arrick> kingspawn, mac, what next
[09:10] <arrick> ?
[09:10] <simon> UbuntuNoob|Scott: you could also, for instance do cd /home/sdv/Desktop
[09:10] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> oh
[09:10] <mac> arrick: did you setup dns servers?
[09:10] <kingspawn> arrick: whats this resolvconf and glibc resolver? never used it
[09:10] <arrick> nope
[09:10] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> so if im in home, and I want to go to tmp, i use /
[09:10] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> to say "back out"
[09:10] <mac> Do so, then
[09:10] <arrick> mac
[09:11] <simon> UbuntuNoob|Scott: exactly
[09:11] <arrick> how
[09:11] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> rgr
[09:11] <kingspawn> UbuntuNoob|Scott: yes, you use / to indicate you are going to the root (/) and from there into tmp
[09:11] <mac> I don't use ubuntu.. go to the settings, and network settings.. somewhere, in there, You can setup dns servers
[09:11] <xbox_sky> http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v32/Skynet/?action=view&current=mdesk.jpg         My Linux destkop  ^_^
[09:11] <arrick> mac, how?
[09:11] <rambo3> xbox_sky, you can post that in ubuntu forums
[09:11] <xbox_sky> aight
[09:12] <scifi> rambo3: ok i typed in sudo cp xorg.conf.backup and it said missing destination file
[09:12] <arrick> mac kingspawn brb
[09:12] <mac> arrick: *I do not have ubuntu installed*, so I dont know how to enter your network settings. RTFM, please..
[09:12] <mac> *sigh*
[09:12] <harobed> hi, there are screencast to introduce Ubuntu ?

[09:12] <harobed> It's for ubuntu manifestation stand
[09:12] <void^> Iikori: please explain what normal linux is.
[09:12] <Iikori> dunno :D
[09:13] <Bergcube> Iikori~  Chances are everyone in here will answer "Ubuntu".....
[09:13] <kingspawn> Iikori: like everything else in life, it depends on what you want to do with it
[09:13] <scifi> rambo3:ok it accpeted the command, now try startx again?
[09:13] <rambo3> yes
[09:14] <Bergcube> Iikori~  It's like asking fundamentalistic catholics if the pope is a nice dude.
[09:14] <bjorn_> I have installed a game using wine, where did it install?
[09:14] <rambo3> if you are a root i would start gdm and if not startx works ok
[09:14] <Iikori> what is command to change language english
[09:15] <scifi> rambo3: get same fatal 10 error doing startx
[09:15] <rambo3> !tell scifi about fixres
[09:15] <saik0> Iikori, Ubuntu is a GNU/Linux Distribution. Linux is just the kernel, ubuntu packages many, many things with it
[09:15] <scifi> rambo3: does mention for help view log at /var/etc..
[09:15] <Iikori> ok
[09:15] <Iikori> what is command to change language english
[09:15] <bjorn_> I have installed a game using wine, where did it install?
[09:16] <stpere> bjorn_, look in ~/.c_drive
[09:16] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> is there a Wine channel?
[09:16] <stpere> bjorn_,  ~ being your home directory
[09:16] <scifi> rambo3: yes thats the page where i was working from that caused all this
[09:16] <arrick> ok im back
[09:17] <scifi> rambo3: it got me into the x-server configuration, and i probly messed things up in there
[09:17] <saik0> UbuntuNoob|Scott, #wine
[09:17] <rambo3> scifi  ok you would have to do cat /var/log/xorg |grep (EE) <- just exemple i dont know the file name you would have to list it. anyway try fixres again and choose vesa as you graphic driver
[09:17] <saik0> UbuntuNoob|Scott, sorry, #winehq
[09:18] <arrick> kingspawn, Im back
[09:18] <kingspawn> arrick: okay
[09:18] <arrick> I booted to ubuntu so I can ssh in
[09:18] <scifi> rambo3: so try this autodetect script first?
[09:18] <kingspawn> arrick: well, eh, what was the problem? no dns? do you know your dns servers? can you have it get a dhcp-ip?
[09:18] <arrick> btu I still need help with the dns stuff, cant remember the other guys name now though
[09:19] <arrick> kingspawn, I have it set to static ip cause its a webserver
[09:19] <rambo3> yeah skip that
[09:19] <kingspawn> arrick: well, then you have to set the dns static in resolv.conf too
[09:19] <rambo3> just use vesa its like "safe driver"
[09:19] <rambo3> or nv
[09:19] <arrick> ok, can you walk me through it?
[09:20] <scifi> i used nv before
[09:20] <UbuntuNewbie> hello everyone
[09:20] <bjorn_> is there a way to install directx8 in ubuntu?
[09:20] <kingspawn> arrick: well, if you have your dns server you just add "nameserver <ip>" to resolv.conf
[09:20] <scifi> rambo3: try sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf 1st?
[09:21] <rambo3> sudo vi  /etc/X11/xorg.conf  , i never used nor use nano
[09:21] <lkz> Hey, is there a tty tool which will list all my hardware? cpu freq, amount of memory, etc ?
[09:21] <arrick> kingspawn, why does it tell me my changes will be over written
[09:22] <kingspawn> arrick: well, i have no idea never, seen that stuff before. just add it and see what happens
[09:22] <kingspawn> arrick: is that warning all there is in your resolv.conf?
[09:22] <arrick> kingspawn, yse
[09:22] <simon> lkz: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[09:22] <arrick> yes
[09:22] <kingspawn> arrick: then just delete it and add your nameserver-line(s)
[09:23] <arrick> and how do I determin the nameserver line?
[09:23] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> you know, the guys in #winehq are no help.
[09:23] <void^> if you use dhcp, just run dhclient or dhcpcd on your interface and it'll fix it.
[09:23] <rambo3> sicif in vi you press " i " for editing and "shift+: " and then "wq + enter" for wite and quit
[09:23] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> they told me to go elseware and get ubuntu help
[09:23] <kingspawn> arrick: now thats the question. are you in an ubuntu box with working networking now? if so, just check /etc/resolv.conf

[09:30] <simonpca> bonjour! | hi!
[09:30] <bjorn_> theinternet, i have installed guildwars using wine, but it still asks for directx
[09:31] <jmoncayo> what is wine for?
[09:31] <theinternet> Bjorn: Strange. If you go to their website, they may have more information.
[09:31] <marsh> void^: thanks mate - i'll get on it.
[09:31] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> jmoncayo,  to install windows based software
[09:31] <slavik> !wine
[09:31] <Iikori> how I can change user on console to root
[09:31] <bjorn_> theinternet, guildwars wasnt made for linux, does that matter
[09:31] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> jmoncayo, its a windows api emulator
[09:31] <jmoncayo> UbuntuNoob|Scott, is it good?
[09:31] <arrick> ok now its installine
[09:31] <theinternet> Bjorn: No. Wine is made to run windows apps.
[09:32] <arrick> thanks kingspawn
[09:32] <bjorn_> ok :) thx
[09:32] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> jmoncayo, I don't know, this is my first time using Linux
[09:32] <kingspawn> arrick: nice
[09:32] <highvoltage> UbuntuNoob|Scott: it's a windows api re-write, not an emulator!
[09:32] <jmoncayo> oki
[09:32] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> highvoltage, sorry...
[09:32] <highvoltage> UbuntuNoob|Scott: np :)
[09:32] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> highvoltage, all the same to me...it just makes sh*t work! :)
[09:32] <jmoncayo> can you run win games if you install wine, have somebody done it , did it work
[09:32] <highvoltage> :)
[09:33] <jafar00> a lot of games that dont run on wine run with cedega. I use cedega to play Anarchy Online
[09:33] <arrick> kingspawn, now that I know about that, on the rare ocassions that the server needs rebooted i will keep a text file to set it with
[09:34] <hollowman8904> how do i configure proftpd
[09:34] <theinternet> Eh, Cedega costs money though.
[09:34] <fiveiron> not the cvs
[09:34] <kingspawn> arrick: i'd reboot it a couple of times now during setup to check if it gets changed
[09:34] <jmoncayo> jafar00, can you run the lord of the rings with that?
[09:34] <jafar00> theinternet: Yes, but worth it. Just dont renew the subscription until you really need a newer version
[09:34] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> jmoncayo, yes, some of them...thats why i need it for World of Warcraft and Steam (HL) based games.
[09:35] <arrick> nah its working right now, and I dont reboot unless I absolutely have to
[09:35] <jmoncayo> ok,
[09:35] <jerry_> i have a question anyone ever load windows through wine?
[09:35] <theinternet> Eh, I have windows on a dual boot. I figure it would probably be best just to leave games in Windows and everything else in Linux.
[09:35] <kingspawn> arrick: lets hope you wont regret it later.
[09:35] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> jerry_, nope - but im going to try vmware to load it.
[09:36] <jafar00> jerry_: No. But I run windows through vmware. Costly but I needed it for forex trading work
[09:36] <UbuntuNewbie> yes its best to be in dual boot
[09:36] <jmoncayo> think so
[09:36] <jerry_> well xp wont dual boot
[09:36] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> dualboot sucks
[09:36] <jerry_> tried that already
[09:36] <theinternet> Yes it will.
[09:36] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> jerry_, yes it will
[09:36] <simon> hollowman8904: try man proftpd
[09:36] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> problem with dual boot is just that, you have to reboot to get to the other OS
[09:36] <dino_> grub loader??
[09:36] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> VMware lets you run both at the same time
[09:36] <Iikori> how I can change normal user to root on console
[09:37] <jerry_> yea useing grub
[09:37] <Iikori> some1 please answer me
[09:37] <volley> Ok so I got this jerkoff roomate who likes to unplug me from the networkand every time he does I cant get back online untill I reboot. so is there any way to get reconnected without rebooting?
[09:37] <bjorn_> what happens if i download directx on microsoft and use it with wine?
[09:37] <Iikori> what is command to that
[09:37] <jafar00> bjorn_: It probably wont work
[09:37] <simon> volley: try dhcpd (I'm not sure of spelling)
[09:37] <bjorn_> why not?
[09:37] <UbuntuNewbie> doesn't VMware requires a lot of RAM and fast CPU
[09:37] <Iikori> how I can change normal user to root on console
[09:37] <bjorn_> ikori use su
[09:37] <Xenguy> Iikori: sudo -i
[09:37] <jerry_> depends on its version but my wines good to dxc or atleast compatible with it
[09:37] <jpatrick> sudo -s
[09:38] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> UbuntuNewbie, not sure...but I have it anyway :)
[09:38] <jerry_> dx9c
[09:38] <jafar00> UbuntuNewbie: I have an AMD 2200+ and 1gb and I just give windoze 256mb and it runs just like native
[09:38] <jmoncayo> jerry_, it works fine in dual mode with win xp
[09:38] <volley> dhcpd in the terminal
[09:38] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> HELP with installing Wine please - anyone know how to do this?
[09:38] <Iikori> 'unable to lookup ....via gethostbyname'
[09:38] <Iikori> what that mean
[09:38] <Iikori> s
[09:38] <jerry_> will try it again but microsoft is messing around again reason i switchto linux
[09:39] <jerry_> last week had to reformat like 6 times kept getting a virus from there data base
[09:39] <UbuntuNewbie> so far i configure my computers to do WinXP, FC5, Debian and Ubuntu
[09:39] <UbuntuNewbie> had the hardest time installing FC5
[09:39] <jerry_> anyway it eventually locked up my key now i have to call microsoft to get it athurized every time
[09:39] <jmoncayo> jerry_, you first need to install win and then linux, otherwise you need to reinstall grub and cofigure it yourself
[09:39] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> I think I am going to bail on Ubuntu and get SuSe
[09:39] <jerry_> so will probably go with 98 se or me
[09:39] <jmoncayo> UbuntuNoob|Scott, can you do sudo apt-get install wine?
[09:39] <slizardo> hello!
[09:40] <jerry_> or just swap drives around
[09:40] <jerry_> yes you can sudo apt get wine
[09:40] <slizardo> what is the best p2p software for ubuntu gnu/linux distribution ?
[09:40] <jerry_> or just go through the synaptic program
[09:40] <Iikori> 'unable to lookup ....via gethostbyname'
[09:40] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> jmoncayo, pakage not available.
[09:40] <jmoncayo> just wondering what is the problem for UbuntuNoob|Scott
[09:40] <Iikori> wha't taht means
[09:41] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> jmoncayo, i have Wine, just not sure its stinalled right
[09:41] <slavik> slizardo: why do you need p2p?
[09:41] <bjorn_> why cant i connect to a tracker using bittorrent, i could when i had windows
[09:41] <jmoncayo> UbuntuNoob|Scott,  you need to uncoment  some lines in the /etc/apt/sources.list and then apt-get update
[09:41] <jerry_> bring up a terminal and type winefile
[09:41] <slavik> UbuntuNoob|Scott: did you add the wine repo?
[09:41] <jmoncayo> UbuntuNoob|Scott, its better if you do it with apt-get
[09:41] <dino_> automatix?
[09:41] <jerry_> if wines installed right it will open a wine window that you can use to add win apps
[09:41] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> whats the command to view that list
[09:42] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> repo?
[09:42] <UbuntuNoob|Scott> I dont know
[09:42] <slizardo> to download some independet movies...
[09:42] <LinuxNoob|Scott> that makes more sense
[09:42] <arrick> yeah
[09:42] <LinuxNoob|Scott> lol
[09:42] <jmoncayo> UbuntuNoob|Scott,  sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:42] <arrick> kingspawn, yeah, I dont think i will, might reboot after the installs though
[09:42] <LinuxNoob|Scott> that worked jmoncayo
[09:43] <slavik> or sudo nano
[09:43] <fr1nk> can someone please help me with the ltmodem issue? i've found several pages about installing it on acer travelmate - i dont know how applicable that would be in my case though.
[09:43] <jmoncayo> yes it does, you need more repos
[09:43] <bjorn_> why cant i connect to a peer using bittorrent, i could when i had windows
[09:43] <simon> slizard: what protocol? BT/DC?
[09:44] <jmoncayo> you get more stuff doin that
[09:44] <UbuntuNewbie> has anyone used wireless connection on Ubuntu
[09:44] <slizardo> dc better.
[09:44] <jmoncayo> i have
[09:44] <jmoncayo> UbuntuNewbie, i am wireless right now
[09:44] <simon> bjorn_: have you configured your client correctly? ports and shit
[09:44] <simon> slizardo: try valknut
[09:44] <bjorn_> eh i dont need to i think, im directly into the modem
[09:44] <UbuntuNewbie> do i have to buy a specific wireless card
[09:44] <slizardo> ok, perfect. i will see it.
[09:44] <simonpca> simon: hmmm... nice name :D
[09:45] <LinuxNoob|Scott> jmoncayo, i cant edit that file
[09:45] <simon> simonpca: :)
[09:45] <LinuxNoob|Scott> read only
[09:45] <bjorn_> i only get 0.45kb/s
[09:45] <_-AnTHo-_> hey quick question, is there any way to change the name of my mounted filesystems instead of hda1, or hdc2 to anything else?
[09:45] <jmoncayo> LinuxNoob|Scott, try sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:45] <Iikori> how I can login with root
[09:45] <simon> bjorn_: try limiting your upload to about 80% of your maximum upload
[09:45] <LinuxNoob|Scott> jmoncayo, i did
[09:46] <jmoncayo> LinuxNoob|Scott, yes you can do that you need to enter your user pass
[09:46] <bjorn_> it isnt uploading anything :s
[09:46] <jmoncayo> LinuxNoob|Scott, can you get root?
[09:46] <simon> bjorn_: are you connected to the tracker?
[09:46] <LinuxNoob|Scott> yeah

[09:47] <jmoncayo> LinuxNoob|Scott, just uncoment the repos and then apt-get update thats all
[09:47] <bjorn_> the speed keeps growing really slowly
[09:47] <bjorn_> it's 6kb/s now
[09:47] <jmoncayo> you get a lot of stuff
[09:47] <LinuxNoob|Scott> jmoncayo, how do i close this file and save it
[09:47] <Matic`Makovec> bjorn_, get better mirrors
[09:47] <kingspawn> Iikori: by lord. root is turned off. do "sudo passwd root" to set a pass and enable it.,
 :wq <enter>
[09:47] <Matic`Makovec> or get better internet connection :)
[09:47] <bjorn_> how do you mean?
[09:48] <simon> bjorn_: does the torrent have a good seed/leech ratio?
[09:48] <bjorn_> with windows i could download the same file with 90kb/s
[09:48] <k31th> Anyone know of any software you can use to make music in linux
[09:48] <jmoncayo> UbuntuNewbie, you should buy one that has native linux drivers
[09:48] <simon> bjorn_: maybe now all seeds are gone
[09:48] <bjorn_> wait ill open it in azureus to see
[09:48] <LinuxNoob|Scott> jmoncayo, LOL wow its been a while...I had a couple months of experience with debian about a year ago
[09:48] <LinuxNoob|Scott> jmoncayo, i remember that command
[09:48] <LinuxNoob|Scott> ok its done
[09:48] <Iikori> 'unable to lookup laptop via gethostbyname()'
[09:48] <Iikori> whines like that
[09:48] <bjorn_> oh, ill check on torrentspy simon

[09:49] <jmoncayo> oki now you can get more software
[09:49] <turbowaffle> Is there a way to force a package removal without uninstalling the dependant packages? I tried to upgrade to libreadline5 and now it says libreadline5 is broken, but libreadline4 is installed. If I try to remove either, it wants to uninstall a crapload of dependant programs
[09:49] <bjorn_> 63 seeders
[09:49] <sammo> ubuntu keeps freezing on me, any ideas where to look at?
[09:49] <kingspawn> arrick: working now

[09:49] <ubuntu> dgf
[09:50] <fr1nk> can someone please help me with the ltmodem issue? i've found several pages about installing it on acer travelmate - i dont know how applicable that would be in my case though.
[09:50] <_-AnTHo-_> hey guys, i've got a really quick question, is there any way to change the name of my mounted filesystems instead of hda1, or hdc2 to anything
[09:50] <simon> bjorn_: does az say NAT OK?
[09:50] <Iikori> kingspawn it whines like this when trying it 'unable to lookup laptop via gethostbyname()'
[09:50] <sammo> i think that you can change it in the fstab but i may be wrong
[09:50] <bjorn_> yes
[09:50] <kingspawn> Iikori: hm. did you change the name of your machine?
[09:51] <Iikori> nno
[09:51] <Iikori> I think
[09:51] <_-AnTHo-_> sammo: really? i was just in fstab.. hold on lemmie check
[09:51] <LinuxNoob|Scott> jmoncayo, http://pastebin.com/661990
[09:51] <scifi> anyone know how to reinstall x-server, cus mine seems to be completely buggared
[09:51] <LinuxNoob|Scott> thats my error
[09:51] <simon> bjorn_: then all should be in order, just give it some time :)
[09:51] <bjorn_> hmm ok
[09:51] <bjorn_> ty
[09:52] <sammo> you can put -L or label i think. I am pretty new to ubuntu but this is what I remember from doing it, I would ask someone else tho
[09:52] <ubuntu> can i browse a ntfs filesystem on a Windows xp pc while running Ububtu from a live cd ?
[09:52] <sethk> ubuntu, sure
[09:53] <kingspawn> Iikori: what does your /etc/hosts say?
[09:53] <scifi> anyone?
[09:53] <_-AnTHo-_> haha ok, well anyone else know how i can rename mounted file systems from say hda1 to say Windows Partiton
[09:53] <sammo> ubuntu keeps freezing on me randomly. Anyone know any error logs or anything that I may look at?
[09:53] <ubuntu> how? im completely new to linux
[09:53] <Iikori> can't do that
[09:53] <bjorn_> do you need a firewall in ubuntu?
[09:53] <Iikori> permission denied
[09:53] <mwe> bjorn_: if you are running any services you need to restrict
[09:53] <LinuxNoob|Scott> jmoncayo, did you look at that link?
[09:54] <kingspawn> Iikori: well, reboot into recovery mode, and check it out
[09:54] <mwe> bjorn_: by default nothing is listening on any ports I think
[09:54] <Iikori> recovery mode?
[09:54] <bjorn_> can you explain what restrict is? i'm dutch, so i don't understand :p
[09:55] <kingspawn> Iikori: in your grub you have a choice thats recovery mode
[09:55] <mwe> bjorn_: like if you have a web server and want to disallow certain ips to connect or whatever
[09:55] <sethk> sammo, /var/log/messages, to start with, and do ls -ltr /var/log and see what's changed most recently
[09:55] <Stormx2> bjorn_: For example, if you are running a server, but only want it to be accessable from <IP_ADDRESS>, or whatever
[09:55] <jmoncayo> LinuxNoob|Scott, sorry dude i gotta go bbl to help you out
[09:55] <sammo> thx
[09:55] <bjorn_> oh no, i only use it for msn and internet, do i need a firewall?
[09:55] <bjorn_> to be safe
[09:55] <scifi> kingspawn: any ideas on reinstalling x server?
[09:55] <Iikori> so how I can change that
[09:56] <Stormx2> bjorn_: No.
[09:56] <sethk> Bjoern-Erik, no
[09:56] <bjorn_> and what about a virusscanner? is that necessary
[09:56] <sethk> sorry, bjorn_, no
[09:56] <Misnix> bjorn_, inperken
[09:56] <mwe> bjorn_: no. nothing is accepting incoming traffic, so
[09:56] <Iikori> kingspawn just say easy way to format computer with ubuntu
[09:56] <sethk> bjorn_, there are only about three linux viruses around
[09:56] <LinuxNoob|Scott> jmoncayo-away, cya
[09:56] <bjorn_> oh :p and spyware?
[09:57] <kingspawn> Iikori: insert your cd and install
[09:57] <mwe> bjorn_: also users are not superusers by default in linux so malware doesn't tend to spread system wide
[09:57] <UbuntuNewbie> how do i install the latest firefox globally
[09:57] <kingspawn> scifi: no, sorry, i dont use x much
[09:57] <UbuntuNewbie> latest version of firefox*
[09:57] <bjorn_> ok :)
[09:57] <Iikori> kingspawn you mean ubuntu cd
[09:57] <scifi> mwe: any ideas on reinstalling x server?
[09:57] <mwe> bjorn_: not that I've had any yet
[09:57] <kingspawn> Iikori: i'll let you guess
[09:57] <bjorn_> my last question, do you need to defrag ubuntu
[09:57] <bjorn_> time to time
[09:57] <mwe> scifi: explain
[09:58] <UbuntuNewbie> or do i wait for latest ubuntu firefox package
[09:58] <mwe> bjorn_: I don't know any program that does it
[09:58] <scifi> mwe: after trying out the resolution/refesh rate fixes and chnging some setting in x server cofiguration after restarting x server is now disabled
[09:58] <bjorn_> oh, so it doesnt need to :p thanks
[09:58] <mwe> bjorn_: it doesn't seem to be a big problem
[09:59] <greenwom> how do I make a fat32 second hard drive read/write and how do I make is so I can wright to it without sudo
[09:59] <obscurite> I'm trying to rsync host:/home/USER to my local directory /home/USER, but rsync is creating a dir /home/USER/USER -- any way to tell rsync not to create the root dir you're copying?
[09:59] <mwe> bjorn_: all file system suffer from fragmentation though
[09:59] <bjorn_> oh ok :)
[09:59] <walden> heya. how do i decompress a tar.bz file?
[09:59] <shreevatsa> obscurite: put a slash at the end

[09:59] <kingspawn> walden: tar xvfj file
[09:59] <biovore> tar -xvzf file.tar.bz
[09:59] <obscurite> shreevatsa - if it's that easy I will do a jig.
[09:59] <walden> kingspawn: ok
[10:00] <shreevatsa> obscurite: how about rsync "host:/home/user /home" ?
[10:00] <Iikori> kingspawn can't find tha install file at CD
[10:00] <scifi> mwe: yes tried reloading it with a command rambo3 gave me, but doesnt seem to have worked
[10:00] <kingspawn> Iikori: eh, what are you trying to find?
[10:00] <Iikori> that install thing to unistall ubuntu
[10:00] <greenwom> how do I make a fat32 second hard drive read/write and how do I make is so I can wright to it without root
[10:00] <mwe> scifi: I didn't see that command. what was it?
[10:00] <Engla> hello. Is there something I can do to make the ttys support bold and underlined fonts? That would be great and more beautiful
[10:00] <obscurite> shreevatsa - you were correct, a / did the trick. *dance*
[10:00] <fr1nk> biovore: which command should i use to split tar files into volumes? -L ?

[10:07] <scifi> now anyone know a refresh rate fix that doesnt mess up x server ? :x
[10:07] <mwe> I think he left before he got that. hmm he'll probably be back
[10:07] <Iikori> please can some1 say me easyway to unistall ubuntu
[10:07] <roger_> eiiii oala
[10:07] <volley> I sure hope so I dowant to have to reinstall again
[10:07] <theinternet> BTW, I'm still have errors with Swf. Now it won't even display the swf files.
[10:07] <walden> volley: maybe update a couple of times, sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[10:07] <obscurite> Iikori, just put in the CD and follow the prompts. It's easy :)
[10:08] <bliss1__> posted a  doc in a pastebin from my kernel log can someone take a look and let me know if i should make some corrections. http://pastebin.ca/49443
[10:08] <Engla> kingspawn: okay, I found out. It's horriby difficult and no fun. Do you know if the ubuntu kernel has the proper stuff compiled in?
[10:08] <walden> obscurite: he wants to un-install ubuntu
[10:08] <obscurite> walden - oh my bad.
[10:08] <walden> hehe
[10:08] <obscurite> walden - who would want to do that??? ;)
[10:08] <volley> The following packages have been kept back:
[10:08] <volley>   update-manager
[10:08] <volley> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
[10:08] <mwe> volley: I recommend using archive.ubuntu.com instead of ca.archive.ubuntu.com though. that will redirect you to a good mirror
[10:08] <volley> thats not good is it?
[10:08] <bliss1__> kingspawn: hi hows it going
[10:09] <theinternet> Yeah, who would? I love this os.
[10:09] <tombo_> Can someone tell me how to edit a user account to do admin from the terminal.  I have no gui on original user account.
[10:09] <kingspawn> Engla: hehe,it can be fun if you get it to work :) no idea if its compiled in, but it might, since its big and has lots of stuff
[10:09] <mwe> volley: what did you type?
[10:09] <kingspawn> bliss1__: hey
[10:09] <walden> volley: that's fine. did you update first, and then try upgrade?
[10:09] <volley> yes and                  got like a bunch of stuff
[10:09] <walden> i am upgrading like after 10-12 days and it wants to download 125M of upgrades
[10:09] <walden> volley: cool. so must be fine then.
[10:09] <volley> so its all good
[10:09] <Engla> kingspawn: I'm quite pessimistic.. It says this about menuconfig for ATI cards: "Go into the Code Maturity Level menu, and enable the prompt for development and/or incomplete drivers"
[10:09] <walden> now try opening Synaptic
[10:09] <mwe> volley: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade probably
[10:10] <walden> and see what errors you ger
[10:10] <kingspawn> Engla: hm, might be outdated
[10:10] <Younix> Yo.
[10:10] <kingspawn> Engla: its worth a shot
[10:10] <bliss1__> kingspawn: if you have a sec can you take a look at  http://pastebin.ca/49443
[10:10] <Younix> I have a question. Okay, on shipit.ubuntu.com, is there anyway to view the information on the CDs you requested. Such as phone number, address, ect?
[10:11] <walden> you want to change that?
[10:11] <walden> i believe you cant.
[10:11] <Younix> :(
[10:11] <volley> gnome seems very resource hungry
[10:11] <merlin_> gnome is resource hungry by nature
[10:11] <walden> just ask for a new set :) with your latest address
[10:11] <walden> use xfce4. it works well.
[10:11] <scifi> mwe:now that im booted in ubuntu with x server im looking at the xorg.conf file and the only difference i can see (as well as the default refresh rates being different) is that id had chnged the monitor name from "generic device" to Hansol 720E
[10:11] <mwe> volley: or fluxbox
[10:12] <kingspawn> bliss1__: hm, what gives you this message?
[10:12] <walden> though i am using gnome atm
[10:12] <volley> nwe: what is fluxbox?
[10:12] <walden> it is a window manager.
[10:12] <bliss1__> kingspawn: park of my kernel log anything to worrey about
[10:12] <bliss1__> part
[10:12] <mwe> scifi: yes. what's the problem?
[10:13] <mwe> volley: fluxbox is a cool light weight window manager
[10:13] <scifi> mwe: im assuming that name change is what caused the problem with x server
[10:13] <sethk> scifi, that's going to change the list of available resolutions
[10:13] <ReneSDK> evening guys i have a problem. Eventhough i have enabled all the repositories in the Synaptec package manager i cant seem to find/install the packages that is supposed to be on the Universe/mulitverse repositories in Dapper Drake 6.06. What could be the problem?
[10:13] <kingspawn> bliss1__: hm, wouldnt think so, if it hasnt affected anything you need. looks like some sort of obscure error thats got something to do with power management
[10:13] <scifi> sethk: i see but why did it give me that option in the 1st place
[10:13] <bliss1__> kingspawn: like my labtop will not reboot?
[10:13] <UbuntuNewbie> i just notice my trash can icon on my desktop is not displaying the correct icon
[10:14] <UbuntuNewbie> noticed*
[10:14] <volley> mwe: is fluxbox like a taly different shell?
[10:14] <scifi> im gonna try and run the auto-detect script again and see if it works
[10:14] <sethk> scifi, sounds like it didn't identify the monitor, and defaulted to a generic monitor
[10:14] <kingspawn> bliss1__: heh, well, thats not unlikely :)
[10:14] <walden> volley: yeah. you enable the menus in fluxbox by pressing the right mouse button. it is different, but cool.
[10:14] <scifi> sethk: right that wud explain the 60hz refresh rate, but it did choose the right resolution
[10:15] <mwe> volley: shell?
[10:15] <scifi> all i wanna do is chnge the refresh rate
[10:15] <sethk> scifi, dumb luck, to some degree
[10:15] <mwe> volley: it's a different window manager.
[10:15] <obscurite> are there any utilities you can use to set up an xorg.conf graphically?
[10:15] <bolrod> 'sort' of graphiclly
[10:15] <bolrod> yes
[10:15] <Morrowyn> xorgconfig?
[10:15] <bolrod> it exists?!
[10:15] <bolrod> wow
[10:16] <obscurite> bolrod - what were you referring to?
[10:16] <bolrod> dpkg-reconfigure
[10:16] <Xaero_Vincent> Thanks! I was able to fix it in recovery mode. :-)
[10:16] <bliss1__> kingspawn: well i have two debian os's both with kernel 2.6 had to disable USB legacy in BIOS so my labtop could use keypad in one of the os's and since then reboot has become a thing of the past
[10:16] <mwe> Xaero_Vincent: good
[10:16] <obscurite> aww, no ubuntu packages for xorgconfig
[10:16] <mwe> Xaero_Vincent: did you add your user back to the admin group?
[10:16] <pepsi^^> ubuntu doesn't have xorgconfig or xorgcfg by default
[10:16] <obscurite> Morrowyn, bolrod, i'll take a look thanks
[10:17] <Morrowyn> gl
[10:17] <jafar00> little help with compiling needed
[10:17] <pepsi^^> you can use sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:17] <bolrod> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg works fine
[10:17] <volley> and will it install easy on ubuntu
[10:17] <tonyyarusso> Any way to check differences between metapackages?  I want to know what's in edubuntu-desktop that isn't in {u,ku,xu}buntu-desktop.
[10:17] <Xaero_Vincent> yea... and su and sudo.. gksudo.. etc. are working again
[10:17] <volley> fluxbox that is
[10:17] <Morrowyn> i always do my xorg thourgh vi
[10:17] <mwe> Xaero_Vincent: yeah. good
[10:17] <pepsi^^> is a easy way for adjust the settings
[10:17] <merlin_> anyone here has had any lock getting laptop s-video to work?....ati radeon mobility 9600
[10:17] <crimsun> tonyyarusso: check their depends
[10:17] <Morrowyn> but thats just a matter of taste though
[10:17] <beta_m> if i absolutely need to run a windows application, what do i use... i keep hearing about wine, is that the package i need?
[10:17] <tonyyarusso> crimsun: Any simple way to narrow that down, or do I just have to sit and read through the whole thing?
[10:18] <eobanb> beta_m, yes.
[10:18] <jafar00> i have installed build-essential and autoconf and automake but ./configure returns checking for wx-config... no
[10:18] <jafar00> configure: error:
[10:18] <jafar00>         Please check that wx-config is in path, etc...
[10:18] <beta_m> eobanb: thanks
[10:18] <jafar00> how do I get wxconfig
[10:18] <tonyyarusso> crimsun: Like, show depends of edu.., grep -v u...
[10:18] <obscurite> Morrowyn, something that could help me configure an external monitor would ROCK
[10:18] <jafar00> its not installed
[10:18] <maxi1993> hello
[10:18] <mwe> merlin_: yeah. it was my old laptop though. I had to add something to xorg.conf but I don't remember what
[10:18] <crimsun> tonyyarusso: do it recursively. Have fun.
[10:18] <Morrowyn> like 2 monitors?
[10:18] <obscurite> Morrowyn, especially if it knew how to set up various types of multi-monitor setups
[10:19] <obscurite> Morrowyn - One monitor would be cool, but if it knew how to configure dual display that would be amazing
[10:19] <tonyyarusso> crimsun: Recursive metapackage depends checking by hand?  Icky.
[10:19] <merlin_> mwe: cuz i have the ati drivers install and i even have that control panel....but i get no output
[10:19] <maxi1993> does can anybody tell me how i can transform a dvdmovie into a .avi file with ubuntu please
[10:19] <jafar00> maxi1993 use k3b
[10:19] <walden> !dvd::rip
[10:19] <Morrowyn> you can use xinerama, although that doesnt support opengl on both screens, just your main, or if you have an nvidia card, then you are lucky
[10:19] <mwe> merlin_: you have to edit xorg.conf. google is my best advice. that's how I figured it out
[10:19] <Morrowyn> and you can have opengl on both screens
[10:20] <jafar00> !compiling
[10:20] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilingSoftware
[10:20] <jafar00> hehe
[10:20] <merlin_> mwe: thank you
[10:20] <obscurite> Morrowyn - have a lappy with an intel 915GM
[10:20] <maxi1993> i would like to shrink the size of the dvd from around 4 GB to 700 mb, is that possible with K3B?
[10:20] <walden> not in k3b.
[10:21] <mjr> maxi1993, dvdrip
[10:21] <walden> !dvdrip
[10:21] <Morrowyn> ok, then xinerama it is, it isnt that hard though
[10:21] <ubotu> walden: Did you get hit by a windmill? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[10:21] <walden> nope. not there was well.
[10:21] <walden> !dvd:rip

[10:22] <MrZaius> talented writer, but he's never going to maintain this thing

[10:22] <Morrowyn> http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Xinerama-HOWTO/index.html this one is nice
[10:22] <Morrowyn> obscurite,
[10:22] <MrZaius> will future updates ever overwrite my /boot/grub/menu.lst?
[10:22] <maxi1993> ty :)
[10:22] <obscurite> Morrowyn - Thanks, looking.
[10:22] <Morrowyn> you night wanna do it manually though
[10:22] <bliss1__> nickrud: HI Happy Easter--i hope
[10:22] <MrZaius> I've got it set with kopt=, but want to know whether or not that'll be permanent
[10:22] <DBO> MrZaius, no
[10:22] <kingspawn> MrZaius: theoretically no. back it up to be sure.
[10:23] <MrZaius> cool
[10:23] <MrZaius> so, on a related note
[10:23] <MrZaius> how does grub get updated when the kernel gets updated, and will it default to the newest version?
[10:23] <jafar00> can anyone tell me what provides wx-config?
[10:23] <gnomefreak> MrZaius: apt updates grub for you and yes it _should_ list new kernel
[10:23] <crimsun> MrZaius: update-grub is called after /boot/grub/menu.lst is adjusted. And yes, it defaults to the newest one.
[10:24] <bliss1__> MrZaius: update-grub
[10:24] <emsko> Hi, I'm about to install Ubuntu on one of my comps, (I want only linux on it), and am wondering what the difference between "erase entire disk: ide1 master..." and "erase entire disk and use lvm: ide1 master..." is
[10:24] <MrZaius> cool.  good enough for me, then
[10:24] <crimsun> jafar00: packages.ubuntu.com
[10:25] <obscurite> Anyone have kompose running with gnome? When I run it it seems to hang and spit out lots of msgs about pixmaps. I thought I was missing dependencies but nothing I installed helped.
[10:25] <walden> lvm allows you to dynamically resize partitions on your disk... while in fixed partioning, you are stuck with the partitions you make during install.
[10:25] <emsko> walden: so if I just plan on having ubuntu on the comp, I don't need lvm?
[10:25] <javierasex> www.visualmaster.net/sex/webcam.exe el mejor porno gratis solo 2 dias total discrecion... veame soy tu opcion
[10:26] <jafar00> lol
[10:26] <walden> emsko: no need. just create a big enough /home and allow ubuntu to take care of the rest with a / partition
[10:26] <wvelez> hehe...
[10:26] <emsko> cool, thanks bro
[10:27] <beta_m> how do i edit the boot up menu?
[10:27] <walden> which menu?
[10:27] <bur[n] er> beta_m: /boot/grub/menu.lst for the grub bootloader
[10:27] <beta_m> grub or whatever
[10:27] <beta_m> ok, thanks
[10:27] <walden> ah.
[10:29] <walden> is there some software that allows you to track planetary object movements... and star charts based on where i am?
[10:29] <kingspawn> i am getting a beer.
[10:29] <DBO> bur[n] er, no it will not unless it is compiled for linux and marked executable
[10:29] <Morrowyn> stellarium?
[10:29] <kingspawn> walden: best question ever.
[10:29] <kingspawn> :)
[10:29] <obscurite> If I have a /dev/md0 (RAID-1) with two disks, each with a mirrored / partition and it's own swap partition, if I pull out one drive and reboot, should it always be able to boot off the other drive, or do I need to somehow prep it?
[10:29] <walden> i dunno. will check.
[10:29] <walden> i will checkthat about after my update gets over :) still about 20 mins left
[10:29] <Morrowyn> kstars (for kde users)
[10:30] <walden> yeah, i have tthe kde libs installed. will get both then
[10:30] <DBO> obscurite, the idea is that you should be able to smash one of the drives with a sledge hammer and still boot... but that doesnt always work out...
[10:30] <CokeNCode> why is that that cntrl + alt + backspace doesn't get rid of hte x server with ubuntu, all it does is log me out, how do i get shut down x server ?
[10:31] <obscurite> DBO - I found that it only worked with one drive (I guess the non-boot drive). If I pulled the drive it was booting from, no luck.
[10:31] <Doomhammer> can anyone give me a link to a xinerama howto that is more up-to-date than the one in the wiki ?
[10:31] <DBO> obscurite, you may have to have made a BIOS change for your boot drive...
[10:31] <obscurite> DBO - hmm, didn't try that
[10:31] <Centaur5> Could anybody tell me how I can get into a vterm because Ctrl + Alt + F* keys no longer do.
[10:31] <Doomhammer> !xinerama
[10:31] <ubotu> xinerama is probably https://wiki.ubuntu.com/?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=xinerama&titlesearch=Titles Hopefully, one of these works for you, and feedback is welcome
[10:32] <latrek> hi there
[10:33] <latrek> I just installed ubuntu
[10:33] <latrek> for the first time
[10:33] <mwe> congrats
[10:33] <walden> nice :)
[10:33] <latrek> and x server just crashed on me
[10:33] <olive> bad
[10:33] <walden> not nice.
[10:33] <latrek> not sure what to do
[10:33] <Scar_Freewill> my totem player just crashes (disapers) when i add click the + button when there is already music in the list
[10:33] <latrek> what do you think I should do?
[10:33] <kingspawn> Scar_Freewill: never use totem. thats my rule of tuhmb.
[10:34] <kingspawn> thumb, even.
[10:34] <mwe> latrek: when did it crash?
[10:34] <walden> update-rc.d -f remove gdm
[10:34] <mwe> latrek: I mean when you tried starting it or what?
[10:34] <bliss1__> DBO: is this  kernel log its only four or five lines anything of concern http://pastebin.ca/49443
[10:34] <latrek> after I did apt-get  upgrade
[10:34] <bolrod> did you install dapper or breezy?
[10:34] <mwe> latrek: oh. it worked before that?
[10:34] <latrek> no
[10:34] <latrek> I installed 5.10
[10:34] <jafar00> !mplex
[10:34] <ubotu> Some people juggle geese.  Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, jafar00

[10:35] <mwe> jafar00: please /msg the bot
[10:36] <Scar_Freewill> lol
[10:36] <latrek> I edited my sources.list file
[10:36] <jafar00> sorry :)
[10:36] <bolrod> latrek: what did you edit?
[10:36] <DBO> bliss1__, well, something is wrong with ACPI it seems, but if everything is working... I wouldnt worry... though if that is your WHOLE kernel log, klogd seems to be dumping on you
[10:36] <mabus06> his sources.list file
[10:36] <mwe> latrek: can you log in at the command line? I guess so
[10:36] <mike13> i've got problem getting my soundcard to work
[10:36] <mike13> can anyone help ??
[10:36] <latrek> the last 2 lines to include multiverse
[10:36] <latrek> and ...
[10:37] <bliss1__> DBO; installed ubuntu  on hda2in december deleted windos same time  sarge on hda2  -cannot reboot
[10:37] <mwe> mike13: crimsun is our sound expert. don't know if he's around though
[10:37] <bolrod> latrek: you worked with linux before?
[10:37] <DBO> ahhh
[10:37] <latrek> yeah I can log in at the command line
[10:37] <bliss1__> DBO: ubuntu on hda1
[10:38] <emsko> do and of you know of a itunes-type program that links up with and allows you to manage music on an ipod?
[10:38] <mwe> latrek: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg might at least get it to run
[10:38] <latrek> I've had little exp. in linux
[10:38] <twidget> I've created a vfat partition to share my files between Windows and Ubuntu. As I understand it, /home can't be placed there, but I still should be able to save any files I want there, correct?
[10:38] <bolrod> latrek: dpkg --get-selections | grep restricted
[10:38] <bolrod> what does that show
[10:38] <DBO> bliss1__, I understand your issue now...  i dont know an answer off the top of my head, but it seems there is an error within ACPI which is causing your issue
[10:38] <mike13> mwe> ok thanks
[10:38] <latrek> I also have a nvidia card if that means anything
[10:38] <walden> twidget: yup. a fat32 partition to share data between your windows partition and normal user
[10:38] <bolrod> yes... I know
[10:38] <obscurite> DBO - after I remove a drive, and reboot, the drive needs to be re-added to /dev/md0 - know how I can make that happen automagically?
[10:38] <bolrod> what does the command show?
[10:39] <DBO> obscurite, use hardware raid?
[10:39] <walden> twidget: you can copy from fat32 to /home and vice versa
[10:39] <twidget> cool beans
[10:39] <obscurite> DBO - i'll take that to mean you can't do that ;)
[10:39] <twidget> now if I could just fix my NVida driver :/
[10:39] <DBO> obscurite, I could write a script to do it, but I wont recommend using it or even give it to you because its a dumb and dangerous idea
[10:39] <captine> anyone know how to install ubuntu 64bit 5.10 on turion without using "noapic" and "nolapic" copmmand?  my installation freezes without those?
[10:39] <walden> hehe. i have a laptop. no nvidia or ati thinggummies in this.. safe.
[10:39] <obscurite> DBO - makes sense
[10:40] <bolrod> latrek: ?
[10:40] <Scar_Freewill> what is the latest version of wine already compiled 4 us
[10:40] <slavik> 0.9.11
[10:40] <slavik> I think
[10:40] <slavik> or 12
[10:40] <bliss1__> DBO: ok thanks I will post the whole kernel in a pastebin --had to disable USB legacy in BIOS so i can use keypad in sarge
[10:40] <latrek> ok I'll try to dpkg xserver
[10:40] <emsko> do and of you know of a itunes-type program that links up with and allows you to manage music on an ipod?
[10:40] <bolrod> no
[10:41] <bolrod> you don't
[10:41] <thechitowncubs> hey i want to put an old computer to use, what things could I have it do on my home network heh :)
[10:41] <Scar_Freewill> slavik: thx
[10:41] <bolrod> what does   dpkg --get-selections | grep restricted
[10:41] <bolrod> output
[10:41] <Scar_Freewill> tel me try..
[10:41] <Scar_Freewill> !wine
[10:41] <bliss1__> DBO: two kernels both 2.6 ubuntu and sarge
[10:41] <eobanb> thechitowncubs, you could do a lot of things, depending on how old it is
[10:41] <Scar_Freewill> dam
[10:41] <DBshOwer> bliss1__, I remember your issue
[10:41] <slavik> Scar_Freewill: you have to add the wine repo ...
[10:41] <__mikem> what in gods name is going on here
[10:41] <thechitowncubs> eobanb, 333mhz pentium 2 8gb hd 128mb of ram
[10:41] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell Scar_Freewill -about wine
[10:41] <DBshOwer> bliss1__, I just dont know a fix right now, give me time to try to either recreate it or figure out what is wrong
[10:42] <slavik> afaik, wine compiles are very up to date
[10:42] <thechitowncubs> I just want some ideas, I'm bored and I've got time to kill... what could I set up?
[10:42] <bliss1__> DBshOwer: no probs thanks
[10:42] <eobanb> thechitowncubs, you could set up a server of some kind, like a web server, or you could set up a firewall..
[10:42] <Scar_Freewill> slavik: i have and i am downloading it atm, but it ceeps getting disconected while i am dling it
[10:42] <Doomhammer> i hit ctrl+alt+backspace, but kdm doesn't appear to be restarting... why?
[10:42] <eobanb> thechitowncubs, you could also have it run some sort of grid computing app like folding@home
[10:43] <bolrod> latrek: you need help?..
[10:43] <darkf0x> hey all
[10:43] <thechitowncubs> eobanb, good idea, i was thinking about that
[10:43] <tombo_> Hi guys. can some one tell me how to edit priveliges of user accounts  from the terminal
[10:43] <Doomhammer> the process "kdm" is still running according to ps -A, but it's not showing up
[10:43] <mwe> tombo_: what do you wanna do specifically?
[10:43] <bolrod> you can edit /etc/group by hand
[10:43] <eobanb> thechitowncubs, if you found a bigger hard drive, you could make it into a media server (for music)
[10:44] <bolrod> otherwise useradd
[10:44] <darkf0x> does anyone know anout a good rss feed reader that will stay on (fox example) on the right side of the desktop??
[10:44] <bolrod> usermod
[10:44] <mwe> no don't do that please
[10:44] <bolrod> userdel
[10:44] <obscurite> DBO - if I have two identical boxes each with two drives, can I take a RAID1 drive from box 1, drop it in box 2, and build a system off it? or is that insane?
[10:44] <mwe> you should always use vigr
[10:44] <bolrod> no?
[10:44] <mwe> not edit /etc/group by hand
[10:44] <mwe> use vigr
[10:44] <walden> bbs. if lucky
[10:44] <thechitowncubs> eobanb, that might be a possibility, I have a 320gb hard drive with all my music, movies, etc and that would be easier to have it on a server like that
[10:44] <thechitowncubs> sounds good
[10:44] <thechitowncubs> thanks for the ideas
[10:44] <Doomhammer> can someone help me... why doesn't KDM restart by itself after a ctrl+alt+backspace ?
[10:45] <bolrod> mwe: whats the problem with editing /etc/group by hand?
[10:45] <__mikem> What would be a better choice, to take a windows machine and a live cd or my windows machine and my linux notebook
[10:45] <Doomhammer> plus, it's still not doing anything after i did a /etc/init.d/kdm restart
[10:45] <mwe> bolrod: it doesn't prevent you from typos. vigr does
[10:45] <obscurite> __mikem, what do you need windows for?
[10:45] <__mikem> I am going on a trip in two days where I will need access to both a linux machine and a windows machine
[10:45] <bolrod> owh
[10:45] <mwe> bolrod: it wont let you save unless the syntax is correct
[10:45] <tombo_> mwe I hve just installed ubuntu. Had problems with display and craeted a new account which fixed display, but I cannot makea ny system changes from new account
[10:45] <martyn_> hi all
[10:45] <Doomhammer> tombo: you need to use the command "sudo"
[10:46] <__mikem> IN my case its a competition for programmers, and they may require me to use a windows machine
[10:46] <Doomhammer> tombo: for more information, type "man sudo" at a terminal
[10:46] <mwe> tombo_: you need to add the user to the admin group
[10:46] <bolrod>  /etc/group  isn't that difficult ...  :)   but erh.. is it catastrophic if you save with bad syntax?
[10:46] <eobanb> no problem, thechitowncubs .  if you need any help, just come back and ask
[10:46] <__mikem> obscurite did you get that
[10:46] <mwe> tombo_: login as the first user and sudo adduser newusername admin
[10:46] <obscurite> __mikem - no way to call ahead?
[10:46] <martyn_> i am tring to copile new grf drivers how to i check if i am using gcc and not gcc4
[10:46] <ca38aspear> _mikem will you have internet acsses if you do take the linux box and use vnc
[10:46] <martyn_> i am tring to copile new grf drivers how to i check if i am using gcc 3.4 and not gcc4
[10:47] <mwe> martyn_: gcc --version
[10:47] <Doomhammer> martyn: gcc --version ?
[10:47] <mike13> anyone else for a problem with a sound card ??
[10:47] <__mikem> Because, currently, my linux box is a notebook, and it is behind a firewall, and I don't feel like setting up vnc
[10:47] <darkf0x> i've see rss feed readers on ms machines that like stay on the desktop... but does anyone if i can get the same thing on my ubuntu box??
[10:47] <martyn_> thx
[10:47] <mwe> mike13: you need to be more specific. did you try anything at all?
[10:47] <whatsisnamezor> greetings
[10:47] <obscurite> __mikem - ideally you could run vmware if you had to run windows
[10:48] <whatsisnamezor> hey can anyone with a dell laptop and a multimeter help me out for a second
[10:48] <mike13> i read the documentation
[10:48] <__mikem> I don't have any spare license keys for windows
[10:48] <__mikem> I do have a couple of vm ware licenses, but they are for windows machines
[10:48] <whatsisnamezor> __mikem any chance your laptop is a dell
[10:48] <mike13> i disabled the onboard soundcard
[10:48] <__mikem> um, no its a compaq
[10:48] <latrek> after reconfiguring x server how do I start it up?
[10:48] <__mikem> presario 900
[10:48] <whatsisnamezor> also, if you have spare licenses for vmware, i'm sure you could call vmware and swap
[10:49] <darkf0x> lattrek: startx
[10:49] <latrek> ok
[10:49] <mwe> latrek: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start or startx
[10:49] <obscurite> __mikem - yeah try to swap for linux
[10:49] <mike13> desinstalled then reinstalled alsa
[10:49] <__mikem> its the weekend, and I believe where I am, their tech support is closed for the day
[10:49] <tombo_> mwe. It says the user******* is already a member of 'admin'
[10:49] <obscurite> __mikem - oh well sounds like you'll be taking both ;)
[10:50] <__mikem> thanks
[10:50] <mwe> tombo_: yes. and sudo doesn't work?
[10:50] <whatsisnamezor> anyone here have a dell laptop
[10:50] <__mikem> Now the trick is to clear that manuver with my father
[10:50] <captine> anyone know how to install ubuntu 64bit 5.10 on turion without using "noapic" and "nolapic" copmmand?  my installation freezes without those?
[10:50] <ca38aspear> mwe do you have the sudo passwd
[10:50] <__mikem> mwe check your sudoers file
[10:50] <obscurite> __mikem - if he cares about you having a career then i'm sure he'll agree
[10:50] <__mikem> maybe
[10:51] <mwe> sudo works fine for me
[10:51] <mwe> I was commenting on tombo_'s problem
[10:51] <ca38aspear> my bad
[10:51] <__mikem> oh, then tell tombo_ to pastebin the output of less /etc/sudoers
[10:51] <MrRio> Is ubuntu participating in SoC this year?
[10:52] <__mikem> that should tell us exactly what the problem is
[10:52] <eobanb> MrRio, i believe they are
[10:52] <mwe> __mikem: but he can't unless he can sudo. he wont have permission
[10:52] <tombo_> mwe, how do you mean 'sudo doesn't work.  It seems to be working but I do not know how to use it
[10:52] <__mikem> does the su command work for him
[10:52] <mirak> hi
[10:52] <simonpca> i have a question about Wvdial
[10:52] <ryan> does any1 know of a widget that shows the ip's connected to your computer?
[10:52] <mwe> tombo_: type sudo whatever you need to do as root
[10:52] <__mikem> um tombo_ sudo (name of command) [args]
[10:52] <simonpca> when I try to dial, i got somethied like "no carrier"
[10:52] <fiendskull9> ryan, you measn the internal ips?
[10:52] <mirak> I can't enable TV out of ati 9600 with fireglcontrol
[10:52] <simonpca> what can it be?
[10:53] <mirak> I remember having it working already, but it doesn't anymore
[10:53] <mwe> tombo_: I'm not sure I understand what your problem is
[10:53] <__mikem> tombo_ after you do that it will prompt you for YOUR password
[10:53] <ryan> no external ip's
[10:53] <__mikem> make sure you type YOUR password and not your root password
[10:53] <__mikem> then it should work
[10:53] <fiendskull9> ryan, like, what is your external IP? or what external ips are transferring data
[10:54] <ryan> fiendskull9, the external ip's that are transferring data
[10:54] <fiendskull9> ryan, hmmm. hold on
[10:55] <disasm> i'm setting up amd64 breezy with mdadm software raid, i have 4 320 gig sata hd's in the computer, each partition 10M boot, 1G swap 10G / rest /var i did software raid, and joined the drives, and its currently doing resync on the last drive. do i need to wait for the drives to resync before continuing the install? Just asking because I didn't wait originally, and it failed part way through, so I figured I'd let it finish syncing (been almost
[10:55] <tombo_> I mwe, mikem; want to creat an account so that I can make changes to the system.  at the moment I have a terminal and several useless accounts.  I am now su as root!
[10:55] <Zarephath> if [ -d ~/myscripts ]  ; then
[10:55] <Zarephath>     PATH=~/myscripts:"${PATH}"
[10:55] <Zarephath> fi
[10:55] <Zarephath> Should this not work to add the directory to my path?
[10:55] <__mikem> tombo_  it sounds like you want to log in as root
[10:55] <fiendskull9> ryan, i dont know of a widgetm but you can type "netstat" in terminal. and itll show all your current connections. but no guarentee itll give the others IP, most of the time itll give the hostname. for example, im not geting freenodes ip, im getting herbert.freenode.n
[10:56] <__mikem> you need to enable your root account first
[10:56] <ryan> fiendskull9, that's quite alright, thanks for your help
[10:56] <fiendskull9> ryan, word
[10:56] <mwe> tombo_: you need to make sure those users are in the admin group. it seems you did that. now paste /etc/sudoers to pastebin.com
[10:56] <scifi> lol after about 3 hours of arsing about, finally solved refresh rate problem lol
[10:56] <MisterN> n8
[10:56] <bliss1__> DBshOwer: there is a full kernel log here if you need it http://pastebin.ca/49447
[10:57] <__mikem> mwe it sounds like he just wants an account with administrative access, I am not sure how the contents of his sudoers file is going to help us
[10:57] <mwe> Zarephath: you need to export PATH
[10:57] <mirak> how can fireglcontrol from ATI can change /etc/X11/xorg.conf without beeing root ?
[10:57] <mwe> Zarephath: export PATH=${PATH}: ...
[10:58] <Zarephath> mwe: It should work this way too?
[10:58] <mwe> __mikem: it will show if the admin group is set up to allow sudo
[10:58] <Zarephath> Ahhh...it is just checking but not adding it to PATH?
[10:58] <__mikem> oh ok
[10:58] <mwe> Zarephath: you need the export keyword
[10:58] <tombo_> mikem;  I am now logged in as root.  Is there any way I can creat an account with full priveledges.  What do you mean paste /etc sudoers to pastbin.com?....The machine is not on the net
[10:58] <Zarephath> Ok
[10:58] <scifi> when i log out of ubuntu, it then takes me to the non-qui terminal screen, can i get from there to the boot-up list so i can choose to bootup in windows?
[10:58] <__mikem> Um, yes there is tombo_
[10:58] <__mikem> hold on
[10:59] <mwe> Zarephath: your syntax is correct other than that
[10:59] <disasm> tombo_: how many lines are in there?
[10:59] <Tedd> Hi, can someone help me with Gnomebaker? I'm trying to burn an audio CD and it tells me it doesn't have the plugin for it.
[10:59] <mirak> how can fireglcontrol from ATI can change /etc/X11/xorg.conf without beeing root ?
[10:59] <__mikem> you can use the useradd command
[10:59] <tombo_> disasm; how many lines where?
[11:00] <disasm> tombo_: /etc/sudoers
[11:00] <Zarephath> mwe: Will logging out and back in cause it to re-read the .bash_profile?
[11:00] <DBshOwer> yes
[11:00] <mwe> tombo_: you checked that your user is in the admin group, right?
[11:00] <__mikem> tombo_ look at the useradd command, if you want to know how to use it, type man useradd
[11:00] <Tedd> Hi, can someone help me with Gnomebaker? I'm trying to burn an audio CD and it tells me it doesn't have the plugin for it.
[11:00] <disasm> __mikem: why useradd? adduser is so much easier...
[11:01] <scifi> how do i get from non-gui terminal screen to boot up screen?
[11:01] <mwe> Zarephath: yeah. or source .bash_profile
[11:01] <fiendskull9> scifi, startx
[11:01] <disasm> scifi: try startx, should get an error of some sort if theres a problem, otherwise gui should start
[11:01] <__mikem> disasm, I never heard of that command, but based on the man pages it should work to
[11:01] <mwe> Zarephath: changes go to .bashrc normally though. that file should be sourced from .bash_profile
[11:02] <scifi> no that takes me back into ubuntu login screen. i want to get to boot-up list where i can choose to bootup in windows
[11:02] <sublime> Someone  know about the cdmon script ?
[11:02] <mwe> Zarephath: that way it will be sourced wheter it's login shell or not
[11:02] <disasm> __mikem: useradd is great for scripting, but for quickly creating a new user (especially if you don't know how to use useradd) adduser is much easier
[11:02] <martyn_> can any 1 hlp me big time please . i have been installing Nvidia grx driver like the guides that every 1 keeps telling mt to go to. i use them and try to comple the drivers. i have installed gcc3.4 and switched over to them to but every time i use the installer it tells me i need to used 3.4 when i have
[11:02] <crouchingMonkey> how can i find where the conky folder is located ?
[11:02] <Zarephath> mwe: I don't follow..what do you mean "sourced"?
[11:02] <Tedd> Hi, can someone help me with Gnomebaker? I'm trying to burn an audio CD and it tells me it doesn't have the plugin for it. I an't find anything like it in Synaptic.
[11:02] <mwe> Zarephath: read by bash
[11:02] <disasm> crouchingMonkey: you mean config? .conkyrc
[11:02] <__mikem> disasm tell that to the guy who wrote the Linux Bible 2006 Eddition
[11:03] <disasm> __mikem: lol ;-) never read it
[11:03] <__mikem> Well, I need to start somewhere
[11:03] <scifi> no that takes me back into ubuntu login screen. i want to get to boot-up list where i can choose to bootup in windows
[11:03] <Zarephath> mwe: So how do I tie it to .bashrc?
[11:03] <disasm> __mikem: adduser is debian specific so if the books not based on debian, it probably has no clue what adduser is
[11:03] <martyn_> can any 1 hlp me big time please . i have been installing Nvidia grx driver like the guides that every 1 keeps telling mt to go to. i use them and try to comple the drivers. i have installed gcc3.4 and switched over to them to but every time i use the installer it tells me i need to used 3.4 when i have
[11:03] <Tedd> can anybody help me? Please/
[11:04] <mwe> Zarephath: did you change the default .bash_profile?
[11:04] <eli> Hello everyone
[11:04] <disasm> Tedd: problem?
[11:04] <crouchingMonkey> disasm, is it supposed to be in the /home/ ?
[11:04] <Zarephath> mwe: Yes
[11:04] <mwe> Zarephath: ok
[11:04] <Tedd> disasm,  I'm trying to burn an audio CD and it tells me it doesn't have the plugin for it. I an't find anything like it in Synaptic.
[11:04] <slavik> diff outputs nothing if files are the same?
[11:04] <Zarephath> In ~/<myusername>
[11:04] <disasm> crouchingMonkey: /home/disasm/.conkyrc
[11:04] <__mikem> The book includes several distros on its "companion cd" including ubuntu, so I am not entirely sure about that
[11:04] <mwe> Zarephath: my .bash_profile has: if [ -f ~/.bashrc ] ; then; . ~/.bashrc; fi
[11:05] <disasm> Tedd: sorry, i use k3b (about the only kde app i like)
[11:05] <Tedd> Sigh. Thanks anyways.
[11:05] <mwe> Zarephath: that's the default I think. it does nothing but sourcing .bashrc
[11:05] <__mikem> disasm the only reason I don't use KDE is because I can't get it to run in screen resolutions abovr 1024x768,
[11:05] <Tedd> disasm, will K3b work with gnome
[11:05] <martyn_> any 1 here good with installing Nvidia drivers and dont point me to the guides i keep try and they dont work
[11:05] <disasm> Tedd: if you don't mind the extra libraries, sudo apt-get install k3b should do the trick
[11:05] <Zarephath> mwe: Gotcha..thanks
[11:05] <scifi> neone?
[11:05] <Tedd> Cool. Thanks,.
[11:06] <disasm> __mikem: i'm a fluxbox guy
[11:06] <slavik> diff outputs nothing if files are the same?
[11:06] <eli> I have a question about chown, in terminal I have to the following -> sudo chown -R user:**user_name** ~/.ecore
[11:06] <__mikem> oh, I coudl never really get into those alternate DEs
[11:06] <mwe> slavik: no
[11:06] <disasm> __mikem: i used ratpoison and pekwm for a while but they were just a hare to minimal
[11:06] <slavik> mwe: I run diff on 2 files and it doesn't output anything
[11:06] <__mikem> disasm ever use xfce
[11:06] <eli> and i get the error -> `user:john': invalid user
[11:06] <redguy> __mikem: hmm, but selecting resolutions is not a KDE thing, its a X.org setting
[11:06] <disasm> __mikem: yup for about a year or so
[11:07] <mwe> slavik: that should mean they're identical
[11:07] <eli> while using dapper
[11:07] <slavik> oh, ok
[11:07] <redguy> !tell eli about dapper
[11:07] <slavik> that's what I was asking :P
[11:07] <__mikem> redguy, I know thats what puzzled me about it, but I had no such problems while I was in gnome
[11:07] <__mikem> it was just weird
[11:07] <slavik> is there a way to time how long it takes a program to run?
[11:07] <eli> thanks redguy
[11:07] <crimsun> slavik: time
[11:07] <slavik> ty
[11:08] <redguy> slavik: time program
[11:08] <enr1x|MarcosBOX> good night from barcelona!
[11:08] <disasm> slavik: time|program
[11:08] <disasm> i'm late ;-)
[11:08] <enr1x|MarcosBOX> do you know how can i disable the signature checking when apt-getting things_
[11:08] <slavik> got it, ty
[11:08] <mwe> you should use | with time. just time foobar
[11:09] <obscurite> anyone here using dapper as their main OS?
[11:09] <__mikem> nope
[11:09] <mwe> obscurite: yes
[11:09] <__mikem> breezy stilll does the trick for me
[11:09] <e-sin> im interested to see dapper but not until RC1
[11:09] <simonpca> a+, je vais manger | bye, i'm gonna eat something
[11:09] <e-sin> broken != fun
[11:10] <__mikem> I rather not use beta software
[11:10] <obscurite> mwe - how's it going so far?
[11:10] <dbernar1> Ya, but a live CD should do great, e-sin
[11:10] <e-sin> i dont mind beta software, but not a beta OS
[11:10] <mwe> obscurite: pretty good. a few things are broken. I worked around it though
[11:10] <e-sin> just a little too much for me hehe
[11:10] <scifi> if i logout or restart from ubuntu x server it just takes to the terminal, how do i actually restart to get to bootup list?
[11:10] <dbernar1> e-sin: you never tried a live CD of dapper flight6, though.
[11:10] <obscurite> mwe - like what?
[11:10] <obscurite> mwe - and what are your favorite things that are new or improved?
[11:10] <e-sin> dbernar1, no, actually.  i always forget about those hehe
[11:10] <__mikem> Just out of curiousity, are they shiping pressed CDs for Kubuntu yet
[11:11] <dbernar1> scifi: like pressing escape to get the grub menu?
[11:11] <e-sin> dbernar1, think im out of cdrs anyway
[11:11] <dbernar1> __mikem: for dapper?
[11:11] <redguy> scifi: you mean how to reboot?
[11:11] <scifi> dbernar1:yes grub is the word i was looking for, so just press esc when in terminal?
[11:11] <mwe> obscurite: like danish locale not being supported. adept_updater is broken. kdm is broken. checkinstall is broken. using gdm instead and installed checkinstall with a patch myself and changed the locale to en_US
[11:11] <__mikem> yes
[11:12] <scifi> redguy: to get to grub and/or reboot
[11:12] <mwe> obscurite: it's not too bad all in all it works fine
[11:12] <mwe> obscurite: i don't have any problems right now
[11:12] <obscurite> mwe - anything better than 5.10?
[11:12] <redguy> scifi: to get to grub == to reboot in most cases
[11:12] <mirak> is ther a dapper channel ?
[11:12] <mwe> obscurite: well hotplug is gone. that's really great
[11:13] <redguy> scifi: there should be a reboot option somewhere
[11:13] <beefsprocket> mirak: #ubuntu+1
[11:13] <mwe> obscurite: newer versions of programs. overall feeling is about the same
[11:13] <redguy> mirak: see /topic
[11:13] <obscurite> mwe - cool, thanks for your thoughts
[11:13] <Tedd> disasm, I downloaded k3b, but it says Unsupported Format
[11:13] <dbernar1> scifi: ya, just press escape while bootinh.
[11:13] <disasm> Tedd: what format is it?
[11:13] <scifi> redguy: pressing esc in terminal isnt getting me to grub
[11:13] <Tedd> disasm, mp3
[11:14] <disasm> and is it saying the music is unsupported format or the cd is unsupported format?
[11:14] <dbernar1> Tedd: do you have mp3 support otherwise on the computer?
[11:14] <__mikem> ubotu tell Tedd about mp3
[11:14] <redguy> scifi: do you want to reboot from the terminal?
[11:14] <dbernar1> It should just burn, though, it does not need to encode...
[11:14] <scifi> redguy: i want to get to grub from the terminal
[11:14] <Tedd> __mikem, I have heard up down and sideways about mp3 thank you
[11:15] <Tedd> dbernar1, I have mp3 support with XMMS, which is the only thing I use.
[11:15] <__mikem> sorry, I was just trying to help, but if you don't have gstreamer installed, it really isn't going to work
[11:15] <slavik> when time gives te output, which one is the total time it took for the program to run?
[11:15] <redguy> scifi: from terminal as in "no GUI" ? or from terminal as in "a terminal app opened in Gnome or KDE" ?
[11:15] <scifi> redguy: as in no gui
[11:15] <mwe> slavik: all of them
[11:16] <redguy> scifi: #1 press ctrl-alt-del, #2 sudo reboot
[11:16] <disasm> scifi: type grub
[11:16] <mwe> slavik: real is the total
[11:16] <slavik> mwe: thanks
[11:16] <__mikem> what does ctrl alt del do in linux
[11:16] <dbernar1> Tedd: xmms has built-in support for mp3s, it is not system wide. I do not see why k3b would need mp3 support, since it does not need to play the song. Like disasm said, does it say unsupported for the cd, or the files?
[11:16] <Fenrir-> any ubuntu gurus here ?
[11:17] <Tedd> dbernar1, Unsupported format for the files.
[11:17] <slavik> __mikem: open gnome-session-manager or something
[11:17] <mwe> Fenrir-: just ask and you'll see :)
[11:17] <slavik> system monitor
[11:17] <disasm> Tedd: is lame installed?
[11:17] <erUSUL> dbernar1: to make music cd out of mp3 files directly
[11:17] <Fenrir-> i am trying to get ubuntu to notice my usb modem connection :;SSS
[11:17] <scifi> typed grub...looks like grub isnt what i wanted either :P
[11:17] <Tedd> disasm: sudo apt-get install lame?
[11:17] <redguy> Fenrir-: what kind of modem?
[11:17] <mwe> erUSUL: yeah k3b can do that, can't it?
[11:17] <dbernar1> scifi: reboot, press escape
[11:17] <redguy> scifi: what do you want to do then?
[11:17] <disasm> dbernar1: it has to convert from mp3 to wav to put it on a cd in audio format
[11:17] <Fenrir-> Prestige 623 series
[11:18] <mwe> erUSUL: if you install libk3b2-mp3 or something
[11:18] <scifi> i want the list of options which shows ubuntu, ubuntu recoverry mode and at the botton of the list windows xp
[11:18] <tobiassdfsdf> Hey, would someone mind telling me what the URL to the official Ubuntu repository is?
[11:18] <erUSUL> mwe: yes, that's what i said
[11:18] <disasm> Tedd: try it, i don't remember if it's on a restricted source though
[11:18] <Fenrir-> it is connected on this com and i need it to connect to the "ubuntu comp" with the usb thingie
[11:18] <redguy> scifi: reboot then
[11:18] <latrek> I'm having a lot of trouble configuring xserver
[11:18] <dbernar1> disasm: OK, good thinking. Ya, then he has to install some codecs. libmad0 IIRC.
[11:18] <redguy> Fenrir-: does it support linux?
[11:18] <latrek> I di the dpkg xserver
[11:18] <dbernar1> !find libmad
