[05:56] <adub> brendanM have you been able to get totem work
[05:56] <adub> with xvid
[05:57] <BrendanM> I never use totem. I'm running Xubuntu which ships with gxine, but I immediately installed VLC and haven't looked back
[05:57] <nothlit> linuxnewbie756, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/K9Copy ... right on the dvd::rip page "Note: Another, and perhaps easier, solution for DVD ripping in Linux is K9Copy."
[05:57] <BrendanM> Is totem a GNOME app?
[05:57] <linuxnewbie756> i tried k9copy, but it wouldn't work right
[05:57] <stefg> totem is the gnome-frontend to either gstreamer or libxine
[05:58] <BrendanM> it's probably a codec issue then
[05:58] <adub> brendanM most definitely a codec issue but i cant put my finger on it
[05:58] <adub> vlc does it play everything
[05:59] <BrendanM> Just about. I've personally never encountered a format VLC couldn't deal with
[05:59] <adub> brendanM cool thanks for the heads up
[05:59] <adub> i was going to go with mplayer again but wanted to try something different
[05:59] <joshua__>  hey folks, I'm unable to install ubuntu all of a sudden. I've used this exact cd in the past to install edgy no problems. But now every time I try to install the installer gets stuck on grun-install... help?
[05:59] <adub> brendanM how can i make vlc my default player
[06:00] <BrendanM> In gnome? I'm not sure
[06:00] <BrendanM> There's probably a setting in the file-manager somewhere
[06:01] <BrendanM> Try that: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1929051
[06:02] <BrendanM> Also, the only major drawback to VLC is that it doesn't have built-in browser plugin, but if you use firefox, you can get around that pretty easily by using the MediaPlayerConnectivity extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/446/

[06:03] <BrendanM> Oh wow, I didn't know about that VLC plugin
[06:03] <BrendanM> nice
[06:03] <supersword> Ok I fo apologise for my stupidness, but I am newish to Linux, so I installed Ubuntu, but at the O/S selection thingy, I want windows xp to be the default (I am on a family computer). Is this possible? Thanks for any help.
[06:03] <joshua__> .... anyone???
[06:03] <nothlit> actually there is a beta one for opera too or something
[06:03] <joshua__>  hey folks, I'm unable to install ubuntu all of a sudden. I've used this exact cd in the past to install edgy no problems. But now every time I try to install the installer gets stuck on grub-install... help?

[06:05] <adub> how can i make it default player though in ubuntu
[06:05] <nothlit> right click on an .avi file, property tab, and Open With, select an app
[06:06] <nothlit> do it for every file extension you want to associate it with
[06:06] <adub> right i did that but does it remember the last app opened with

[06:06] <nothlit> t
[06:06] <nothlit> whatever its set to
[06:06] <adub> see when i double click a movie file totem still opens
[06:06] <supersword> awesome. Thank you nothlit. I appreciate it dude ;)
[06:06] <nothlit> its probably a different file extension

[06:11] <werner62> hi
[06:11] <BrendanM> Anyone here good with VPN / Network Manager?
[06:11] <AlexC_> BrendanM: just ast the question.
[06:12] <nacer> i have found a good tools one times
[06:12] <xtknight> is there a way to turn off debug in vmware6?  sort of ruins it
[06:12] <nacer> wait i seach it
[06:12] <nwf_> what u guys recomend fluxbox or blackbox
[06:12] <whileimhere> Hi. I want to take my CD collection and put it on my computer as an archive. Will OGG be sufficient in quality to enable me to convert it back to CD without much of a loss in quality? How about when needed to convert to MP3?
[06:12] <xtknight> i know i should use vmware 5 release but vmware 5 does not compile properly on my kernel
[06:12] <BrendanM> I can't open a VPN connecting using network manager, and I get some very odd errors: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=336375
[06:13] <BrendanM> I get a "libnotify-Message: Unable to get session bus:"
[06:13] <BrendanM> anyone know what a session bus is?
[06:14] <LjL> whileimhere: converting to Vorbis and then to MP3 from the Vorbis will certainly lose you more quality that you'd possibly accept to lose. converting to Vorbis and then back to PCM will lose quality depending on how compressed you set the Vorbis files to be... but, of course, there will *always* be some loss of quality. use FLAC if you want lossless compression
[06:14] <BrendanM> I also get:
[06:14] <BrendanM> ** (nm-applet:4747): CRITICAL **: dbus_g_proxy_connect_signal: assertion `DBUS_IS_G_PROXY (proxy)' failed
[06:14] <nacer> BrendanM, http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php/OpenVPN-Admin
[06:14] <BrendanM> thanks nacer, but it's not actually my own network I'm trying to connect to
[06:14] <BrendanM> I have to connect to my university's network which uses a windows PPTP VPN system
[06:14] <nothlit> nwf_, definitely fluxbox
[06:15] <nacer> BrendanM, okay
[06:15] <BrendanM> if it were my own network, I'd gladly use OpenVPN
[06:15] <whileimhere> LjL: If I use Flac what is the file size difference there?
[06:15] <nacer> i dont even try to coonect to windows vpn
[06:15] <BrendanM> *sigh* I wish I had that luxury
[06:16] <LjL> whileimhere: remarkable. FLAC will probably reduce your files to half their size or so, while Ogg and MP3 will typically reduce it to a tenth or so, with commonly used compression ratios
[06:16] <nwf_> nothlit: do u have that installed ?
[06:16] <keithg> Hello fellows, once done upgrading or reinstalling... how would you restore an accounts access to its /home folder?
[06:16] <BrendanM> There seem to be only two Windows VPN options for Linux, PTPPConfig (which is broken by Edgy) and Network Manager, which doesn't really work for me
[06:16] <JUNK1> HI ALL
[06:16] <BrendanM> hi Junk
[06:16] <phiqtion> guys, how can i install a downloaded theme?
[06:16] <LjL> keithg: try chown -R username:username /home/username
[06:17] <keithg> LjL, Thank you very much.
[06:17] <AlexC_> phiqtion: drag and drop it onto the theme window,
[06:17] <whileimhere> LjL: is there a Ogg setting that might render a better quality than default on Sound juicer? When I would convert from OGG to MP3 it would be to take it on the ipod which doesnt do ogg yet
[06:17] <AlexC_> phiqtion: System->prefs->themes
[06:17] <hydrox> AlexC_, Damn, beat me to answering :P
[06:17] <phiqtion> AlexC_: it says invalid format
[06:17] <n2diy> keithg: you lost your user account?
[06:17] <AlexC_> phiqtion: extract it,
[06:17] <AlexC_> it may contain other archives,
[06:17] <phiqtion> AlexC_: in .tar it also says invalid
[06:17] <keithg> n2diy, Nope, I have /home on a seperate partition, and I just upgraded to edgy.
[06:17] <AlexC_> phiqtion: extract them, you may have to manaully copy the files into ~/.themes
[06:18] <n2diy> keithg: ok, but now you can't access /home?
[06:18] <phiqtion> AlexC_: i'll try that, thanks
[06:18] <keithg> n2diy, Now I can't access my users /home folder, I'm using the command n2diy gave me.

[06:28] <feniks> gksudo from where?
[06:28] <BULLE> JUNK1: there are nice howtos on the ubuntu help site, for most supported chips
[06:28] <feniks> i dont have it, nor apt-get knows it
[06:28] <LjL> feniks: ...from a terminal? how else do you run applications as root, anyway?
[06:28] <feniks> LjL: by 'su' of course
[06:28] <coNP> JUNK1: what is the exact problem you have?
[06:28] <PriceChild> !sudo|feniks
[06:29] <ubotu> feniks: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[06:29] <PriceChild> we don't use su by default ;)
[06:29] <feniks> i know sudo, and all other normal linuxes dont block root from displaying to non-root screen
[06:29] <LjL> feniks: ... by su? "of course"? what kind of Ubuntu installation do you have? su shouldn't even work normally
[06:29] <coNP> we don't let su do what sudo has to do :)
[06:29] <feniks> LjL: kubuntu actually
[06:29] <LjL> feniks: then you want kdesu instead of gksudo
[06:29] <iocaste> ubotu: tell me about startup
[06:29] <nothlit> JUNK1, are you talking about Ubuntu CE or ichthux ubunu? also ubuntu ce uses bash scripts to install, and isn't similar to the ubuntu installation from what i know
[06:30] <mnoir> feniks: ubuntu is designed to be a little safer and one of the things is the use of sudo instead of a real root account
[06:30] <JUNK1> sorry im new

[06:37] <LjL> sugun: 5.04 is not a supported version. get a more recent version
[06:37] <LjL> Ubotu, tell sugun about mp3 | sugun, see the private message from Ubotu
[06:37] <BlueLaguna> mnoir: I've setup pureftpd to use unix authentication, and I'm able to login, but not a user I've setup.  I figured I can login because I'm in the admin group maybe.
[06:38] <BlueLaguna> mnoir: using the pureftpd in apt
[06:38] <fgeller> mnoir: there's no one in that channel
[06:38] <sugun> thanks Ljl
[06:38] <mnoir> BlueLaguna: you mean log in to transfer - shouldn't need to be part of a group on the ftp server.
[06:38] <mnoir> fgeller: that happens sometimes..
[06:38] <BlueLaguna> hmm
[06:38] <NaPsTeR> how can i extract a file to a folder when the folder ses i dont have permission?
[06:38] <LjL> mnoir, fgeller: i'm pretty sure the channel that was meant was #ubuntu-xgl rather than #ubuntu-glx
[06:39] <cantchoos> Hi, I just installed edgy eft onto a Dell XPS M140 and whenever I close the screen and open it again the screen remains blank and I have to reboot completely to get control.
[06:39] <cantchoos> Is there a remedy to this?
[06:39] <LjL> Ubotu, tell NaPsTeR about sudo | NaPsTeR, see the private message from Ubotu
[06:39] <mnoir> fgeller: sorry - see LjL's msg!
[06:39] <fgeller> if it helps at all, i had everything, or rather nvidia-glx, install and it was working before I did a update && dist-upgrade yeesterday
[06:39] <sc0tty> hello
[06:39] <NaPsTeR> i know about sudo
[06:39] <fgeller> LjL: k
[06:40] <NaPsTeR> but i dont know the commands 2 extract something somewhere else
[06:40] <LjL> NaPsTeR: well, if you don't have permissions for a directory, you'll need to write to it as root. which means you'll have to use sudo
[06:40] <sc0tty> I'm having a weird bug with nautilus (2.14.3) on ubuntu 6.06 i386 . nautilus won't show the letter r in my files (and folders)
[06:40] <mnoir> NaPsTeR: which extract?
[06:40] <NaPsTeR> i know
[06:40] <LjL> NaPsTeR: and i have no means of knowing them, either, since i don't even know what sort of thing you're trying to extract
[06:40] <NaPsTeR> but i dont know how...i was doin it in the gui
[06:40] <mnoir> all extracts have the capability of extracting to a target
[06:41] <LjL> NaPsTeR: where are you trying to extract to, anyway? if you don't have access to a particular directory, there's probably a good reason why you don't
[06:41] <mnoir> NaPsTeR: you may wanyt to try at the commandline first
[06:41] <NaPsTeR> im trying to extract an aMSN plugin to the /usr/share/amsn/plugins
[06:41] <yosyp> Hey, how can I make some programs run before I start X, etc. ?
[06:41] <LjL> Ubotu, tell yosyp about boot | yosyp, see the private message from Ubotu
[06:41] <yosyp> Because I need to run 915 resolution before X is started, what file do I put this into?
[06:41] <t3rror_> what are the appropriate programs to run if i need to back up dvd's?
[06:42] <mnoir> yosyp: exactly when do you want it to run?
[06:42] <k010> is there a list with all the lastest install done on the system?
[06:42] <LjL> k010: /var/log/dpkg.log
[06:42] <k010> LjL, cheers
[06:42] <yosyp> this guy put it in his /etc/init.d/boot.local but he is on SUSE
[06:43] <yosyp> is there an equivalent?
[06:43] <LjL> yosyp, have you seen the message from ubotu?
[06:43] <yosyp> yeah
[06:43] <yosyp> /etc/rc.local i'm checking
[06:43] <johan__> hello, how can i have my boot in text mode instead of default ubuntu image with progress
[06:44] <LjL> yosyp: well the only possibly problem with rc.local is that i'm not sure it'll be executed before X is started, given Edgy's new asynchronous init system
[06:44] <yosyp> ouch
[06:44] <LjL> johan__: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove "splash" and "quiet"
[06:44] <BULLE> i need c++ compilation support, i just click on Applications->Add/Remove to get gui package tool, but searching for gcc, g++, gpp i come up with 0 hits, whats the c++ packages called in ubuntu ?
[06:44] <niemiec> cze
[06:44] <johan__> cant you just do esc or F2 like other OS
[06:45] <LjL> yosyp: i should try that anyway. failing that, i guess you'd have to resort to creating your own script... or, well, just hack an existing one that you know is executed before starting X ;)
[06:45] <niemiec> you stjupit
[06:45] <adub> how do i use gnome-themes  where do i look at these themes etc ??
[06:45] <LjL> niemiec: ?
[06:45] <coNP> BULLE: you can install them using synaptic (System / Administration / Synapric)
[06:45] <noobian> hi all
[06:45] <yosyp> k
[06:45] <mnoir> LjL: there is a set of std scripts for the edges of gdm - perhaps that is the correct place
[06:45] <niemiec> you dog
[06:45] <BULLE> coNP: so you have two gui package management tools, that show different packages ?
[06:45] <LjL> johan__: i think so. alt+f2 or something. you still won't have much kernel text, though
[06:45] <noobian> wich file conatins the autostarted programs in gnome?
[06:45] <niemiec> stjupit stjupit
[06:46] <coNP> BULLE: at least two :), in fact
[06:46] <johan__> thanks
[06:46] <sc0tty> adub, you can find plenty of themes on art.gnome.org
[06:46] <NaPsTeR> how do u use the mv command?
[06:46] <BULLE> coNP: oh, very confusing
[06:46] <LjL> NaPsTeR: mv source destination
[06:46] <LjL> Ubotu, tell NaPsTeR about cli | NaPsTeR, see the private message from Ubotu
[06:46] <mnoir> NaPsTeR: mv oldloc newloc
[06:46] <BULLE> coNP: and a runlevel editor that shows hardcoded stuff and not actual installed stuff
[06:46] <coNP> BULLE: add/remove programs provide only a collection of programs; however, the other _real_ package managers show all packages that are available based on the repositories you enabled
[06:46] <johan__> and if i have a process that hangs for too loong how can i edit the waiting time
[06:46] <sc0tty> adub: to switch themes or customize them you can go to the menu System>Preferences>Themes
[06:46] <adub> sc0tty i have themes now i installed the extra themes i was wanting to be able to look at them
[06:46] <coNP> BULLE: what do you mean by this runlevel editor?
[06:46] <adub> sc0tty thanks
[06:46] <mnoir> NaPsTeR: man mv for more
[06:47] <johan__> say it is waiting 60sec for network connection and would like to change the default
[06:47] <compsman> wine: cannot find '/media/ghostfire/Warcraft III/Frozen Throne.exe' and its realy there tho why it do that
[06:47] <BULLE> coNP: System->Administration->Services
[06:47] <BlueLaguna> Hmm, it seems that setting the shell to /bin/false prevents ftp login.
[06:47] <niu> i can't use the usplash
[06:47] <coNP> BULLE: yes, I found that not very useful
[06:47] <BlueLaguna> But what can I set it to to allow ftp login, but prevent ssh login?
[06:47] <mnoir> BlueLaguna: really?
[06:48] <BULLE> coNP: i installed openssh but it turns out that Services thin never shows it, it just shows a set of things, irrespectively of if those things are installed or not
[06:48] <lnX\>
[06:48] <lnX\> hello, some that me of a hand to connect my ubuntu to Internet through swich
[06:48] <coNP> BULLE: yes, that is my problem with it, as well
[06:48] <BlueLaguna> mnoir: yes.  It worked with the default shell
[06:49] <misnix> !es
[06:49] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendrn mas ayuda.
[06:49] <compsman> hey any one can tell me why wine: cannot find '/media/ghostfire/Warcraft III/Frozen Throne.exe' but its realy there tho?
[06:49] <BULLE> compsman: spaces in filenames ?
[06:49] <BULLE> compsman: its just a wild guess though
[06:49] <mnoir> BlueLaguna: some to this problem i am not seeing - ya gotta be able to allow ftp and not allow ssh
[06:49] <compsman> its a ntfs drive to..
[06:49] <misnix> espaol?
[06:50] <erisco> is there a way to run a recursive chmod on ONLY files? Not directories.
[06:50] <mnoir> !es | misnix
[06:50] <ubotu> misnix: Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendrn mas ayuda.
[06:50] <BULLE> erisco: use find
[06:50] <phiqtion> what's the best website to download themes from?
[06:50] <mnoir> erisco: you might need to use find with the exec parameter
[06:50] <misnix> mnoir, I thought it means was espanol
[06:50] <misnix> s/means/was/
[06:50] <niu> why?
[06:50] <compsman>  wine "/media/ghostf/Warcraft III/Frozen Throne.exe"
[06:50] <compsman> Warning: could not find DOS drive for current working directory '/home/music', starting in the Windows directory. wine: cannot find '/media/ghostf/Warcraft III/Frozen Throne.exe'
[06:50] <BlueLaguna> mnoir: umm, what were you trying to say?
[06:50] <carine_> Hello, can anybody help me with usb external hdd permission problems?
[06:51] <erisco> BULLE, mnoir, could you give me an example?
[06:51] <mnoir> blue - your goal is to allow a user an ftp only account and that has to be possible
[06:51] <frank_b> how do I switch from using totem-xine mozilla plugin to the mplayer plugin?
[06:51] <BULLE> erisco: the manpage for find will give you all the info you need
[06:51] <phiqtion> what's the best website to download themes from?
[06:51] <BULLE> erisco: the one thing that might be tricky is that you might need to escape the final ;  eg, turn it into \;
[06:52] <mnoir> erisco: find <whatever> -exec "command {};"   the {} is replaced by each found item
[06:52] <Agent_137> lol ban
[06:52] <mnoir> erisco: that syntax is approximate :)
[06:52] <erisco> sounds very risky..
[06:52] <Aldoliel> compsman, wine uses windows style file structures, it creates a "virtual" drive C:\ in the .wine directory in your home directory
[06:52] <BULLE> erisco: not any riskier then leting any other command work recursively down your filetree
[06:53] <d-s-d> hi
[06:53] <compsman> ohhhh
[06:53] <erisco> BULLE, just on one directory though
[06:53] <compsman> i need add the drive..:P
[06:53] <niu> my laptop can't look the usplash image
[06:53] <mike-e> where can i get mplayer for ubuntu?
[06:53] <compsman> in winecfg
[06:53] <d-s-d> Obviously, on ubuntu the ~/.xinirc-Script is not evaluated when an Xsession is started...
[06:53] <spyke01> LjL my sources.list matches the one from that site, in that error is<PHONE_NUMBER>7EE263 the GPG key? I tried adding it like so: sudo apt-key add -<PHONE_NUMBER>7EE263  but that didnt work
[06:53] <carine_> Can someone help with usb drive permission problem please?
[06:53] <adub> im trying to install themes from art.ubuntu.org but it keeps saying invalid file format
[06:53] <[BTF] Chm0d> hey guys can i ask a silly question?  how do i unstall a program if i installed it via ./configure
[06:53] <mnoir> erisco: you do it  first with an exec like ls then when you like the things it finds, you replace with the real command you want.  Recursion is like the force - use it wisely...  :)
[06:53] <Przemcio78> .seen Jesus Christ
[06:53] <Aldoliel> Something like that, took me a while to realise how it worked too
[06:54] <frank_b> how do I switch from using totem-xine mozilla plugin to the mplayer plugin?
[06:54] <Goat_Spirit> Hi everyone!
[06:54] <LjL> [BTF] Chm0d: "make uninstall" from the installation directory, if that's supported.
[06:54] <BULLE> [BTF] Chm0d: you will have to do ./uninstall
[06:54] <d-s-d> what other initialization-scripts can I use to execute custom commands when an Xsession begins?
[06:54] <[BTF] Chm0d> ok ty
[06:54] <BULLE> [BTF] Chm0d: or as LjL said, try "make uninstall" but that requires you to have the source at hand, and uninstall is not always a supported option
[06:54] <adub> what file format do themes have to be in to install them
[06:55] <noobian> wich file conatins the list of autostarted programs in gnome?
[06:55] <mnoir> erisco: also, often -depth is a good parm for find - it starts from the bottom up in whatever file tree you are operating
[06:55] <pauliukas> Hey guys.
[06:55] <LjL> BULLE: for that matter, i never heard of "./uninstall" before
[06:55] <erisco> mnoir, I think I'll just do this manually. Last thing I need is something bad to happen
[06:55] <[BTF] Chm0d> another question when I uninstall it and try to reinstall it does the program install with default options?  It doesn't cache what i previously did to it or anything does it?
[06:56] <mnoir> erisco: caution is always a good thing - sometime when you have the time, try find for stuff and get comfort with it - it is worth knowing
[06:56] <LjL> spyke01: ah wait, i'm afraid the source-o-matic page has changed and doesn't talk about that anymore. still, in the lists generated by sources-o-matic, there should be comments at the beginning explaining what to do - or see see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SecureApt (
[06:56] <[BTF] Chm0d> i installed ksmoothdocker and chose parabolic smoothing and it crashes im trying to reinstall it to have the defaults again
[06:56] <mnoir> erisco: another approach is to pipe the results of find into a file and use global edits to make a script that does what you want
[06:56] <pauliukas> I'm running Ubuntu Server on PowerPC. I already compiled the kernel and installed it. I've used http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu_p2. Now, I don't find a grub menu file. How do I make the system use the new kernel?
[06:57] <erisco> mnoir, well I could write a script, yes
[06:57] <LjL> or
[06:57] <erisco> mnoir, actually that is a really great idea :)
[06:57] <[BTF] Chm0d> pauliukas: you reboot you should have a choice of which kernel to use
[06:57] <LjL> !checkinstall
[06:57] <ubotu> checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!
[06:57] <LjL> for that matter
[06:57] <d-s-d> Does anybody know how I can execute custom commands when an Xsession is started?
[06:57] <mnoir> erisco: there, find would merely save you the need to type every file name :)
[06:57] <pauliukas> [BTF] Chm0d, It's a headless server. I need to somehow make it use it from config files.
[06:57] <d-s-d> it seems that .xinitrc is not evaluated at startup....
[06:57] <nothlit> !grub | pauliukas
[06:57] <ubotu> pauliukas: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[06:57] <mnoir> erisco: which is the lion's share of the task  (thanks rioghal)
[06:57] <[BTF] Chm0d> OH
[06:57] <d-s-d> neither is .Xsession
[06:57] <zehtagebart> hi
[06:58] <pauliukas> I'm not sure if PPC version even uses grub... And I wanted to find out if there were some PPC geeks here.
[06:58] <niu> i can't see the image from usplash!
[06:58] <pauliukas> If I 'locate grub', it only brings back docs and no folders nor configs!
[06:59] <adaptr> pauliukas: grub config is in /boot/grub
[06:59] <[BTF] Chm0d> grr ok ive done a make uninstall
[06:59] <pauliukas> adaptr, Nope, doesn't exist.
[06:59] <[BTF] Chm0d> but when i reinstall it all the changes that I previously made are still there
[06:59] <[BTF] Chm0d> any ideas?
[07:00] <adaptr> pauliukas: then you probably don't have it...
[07:00] <LjL> [BTF] Chm0d: changes?
[07:00] <pauliukas> adaptr, So how do I specify the kernel on the PPC version?
[07:00] <[BTF] Chm0d> ok i installed ksmoothdocker
[07:00] <adaptr> pauliukas: oh.. PPC.. sorry :(
[07:00] <[BTF] Chm0d> i made a mistake by choosing parabolic smoothing
[07:00] <adaptr> !ppc
[07:00] <ubotu> ppc is PowerPC.  Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers, and now a fully supported Ubuntu architecture.
[07:01] <[BTF] Chm0d> when i launch ksmoothdocker it crashes
[07:01] <adaptr> gee, thanks
[07:01] <mnoir> pauliukas: doesnt PPC use yaboot?
[07:01] <LjL> [BTF] Chm0d: that'll be in the config file...
[07:01] <[BTF] Chm0d> so i cannot change the settings
[07:01] <pauliukas> mnoir, Sounds familiar... But I'm unsure.
[07:01] <[BTF] Chm0d> there is no /.ksmoothdocker in my dir
[07:01] <pauliukas> Would it have some config files?
[07:01] <LjL> [BTF] Chm0d: check ~/.kde/share/apps
[07:02] <mnoir> pauliukas: well i dunno PPC but google might be yer friend - there is usually little PPC discussion here :)
[07:02] <LjL> [BTF] Chm0d: or run "strace -e trace=file ksmoothdocker" to find out where the config file is
[07:02] <[BTF] Chm0d> k
[07:02] <pauliukas> mnoir, I'm searching the Ubuntu forums as we speak.
[07:02] <pauliukas> It helped me a lot before, but I can't seem to find anything now.
[07:02] <ubu> apt-get source doesn't work with wesnoth why?
[07:02] <spyke01> LjL i checked that page and also the top section from source-o-matic, it doesnt give the gpg key for wine, makes it look like theres not one, winehq doesnt give a key
[07:02] <ubu> i'm in dapper
[07:02] <niu> why i'cant use the usplash for edgy?
[07:02] <pauliukas> It mainly consists of threads "How do I compile my kernel on PPC?", the someone replies "Why would you ever do that!", and that's it.
[07:02] <dotcom> hi 2 all

[07:03] <carine_> does anybody know how change usb drive permissions? Solutions on the message boards have been unsuccesful. I've been on this for nearly 2 hrs. please help :(
[07:03] <adaptr> carine_: you have to change the mount options
[07:04] <adaptr> assuming it's a FAT32 drive
[07:04] <abo> carine_, or try to make sure you have rw permission on the directory where the drive is mounted
[07:04] <adaptr> if it's ext3, you change the permissions while it's mounted
[07:04] <LjL> spyke01: could be... still that error is not fatal, you can install it anyway (actually, i have that and another couple of repositories without a key listed - i just have to choose "Yes" one more time when packages get upgraded)
[07:04] <[BTF] Chm0d> LjL: ty thats where it was.  I am use to gnome just switched to kde last night
[07:04] <[BTF] Chm0d> much appreciated
[07:04] <carine_> Adaptr: I tried to change the mount options with fstab all it does it adopting a new mount point when I remount the drive
[07:04] <ubu> is there a ubuntu-dev channel?
[07:04] <carine_> I also did chown and sudo nautilus
[07:05] <pauliukas> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=214138&highlight=powerpc+kernel+compile
[07:05] <pauliukas> Hmm... That guy recommend just linking the files?
[07:05] <spyke01> ok thanks, i thought it might be stopping my sources update(i added more repositories and wanted to make sure i could access those files), thanks LjL
[07:05] <LjL> spyke01: can't swear it won't - i just use apt-get manually for updates
[07:06] <adaptr> carine_: there are ways to fix the mount point I think... you'l have to dive into HAL/DBUS/UDEV
[07:06] <NkZ> Greetings Guys! I wanted to know, is there a Decent MP3 player for Ubuntu? (I know that It's not a supported format) Something like Winamp Windozer but for Linux?
[07:06] <mnoir> pauliukas: hv you read the whole thread - it is an argument i think :)
[07:06] <LjL> Ubotu, tell NkZ about players | NkZ, see the private message from Ubotu
[07:07] <LjL> NkZ: i suppose the one that looks most like winamp is xmms (or beep media player)
[07:07] <LjL> NkZ: also, just about all players will play MP3 once you have the support installed
[07:07] <LjL> Ubotu, tell NkZ about mp3 | NkZ, see the private message from Ubotu
[07:07] <carine_> adaptr: I didn't know about this method. having a look now, i haven't done this before
[07:07] <RichiH> what happened 15 minutes ago?
[07:07] <LjL> NkZ: so you could just use the default Rhythmbox if you don't mind it
[07:08] <adaptr> carine_: well, if you want your drive to always show upat the same mount point you'll have to do some diggin to fix it, either in fstab or in the automount process
[07:08] <pauliukas> Gosh, I won't risk it.
[07:08] <Bruco16> hi :~)  anyone knows if there is an equalizer app for sound?
[07:08] <NkZ> Roger that! Does Rythmbox demand Codec downloads? (BTW that bot owns)
[07:08] <pauliukas> If something goes wrong, I don't feel like having to mount the HDD on another system.
[07:08] <pauliukas> No need all that trouble.
[07:09] <carine_> adaptr: thanks... I'll try fstab again + the method you recomended. I'll be back
[07:10] <LjL> NkZ: yes, i don't think you'll find many programs that will play mp3 by default without downloading anything else. xmms will i think, though.
[07:10] <LjL> NkZ: if you follow the restricted formats page, i think that'll enable mp3 support for most players
[07:10] <NkZ> Roger that. Many thanks. I will google up those Codecs.
[07:10] <adub> how do i change my default ubuntu text like my icon text my window text etc
[07:10] <juano__> LjL: xmms and you need libmp3g
[07:11] <adub> i want my text to be green
[07:11] <adub> lol
[07:11] <LjL> NkZ: what's there to google? it should all be in the restricted formats page from the bot
[07:11] <adub> green on black
[07:12] <NkZ> Roger that. :-) (Was distracted because I am also doing some research for study) he he he he
[07:12] <DrNickRiviera> i want to upgrade from dapper to edgy, is it advisable to do that using apt-get dist-upgrade or am i better of wiping root entirely and reinstalling the os?
[07:12] <LjL> Ubotu, tell DrNickRiviera about upgrade | DrNickRiviera, see the private message from Ubotu
[07:12] <LjL> DrNickRiviera: opinions will vary
[07:13] <mnoir> adub: for the terminal look at the edit menu for profiles
[07:13] <DrNickRiviera> LjL: thx, had already looked at that page
[07:14] <DrNickRiviera> am just a bit unsure about doing it without a reinstall, as i did an upgrade on a fedora box a few years ago and it broke the entire system which took me ages to get back to normal
[07:14] <adub> mnoir not jsut the terminal i mean everythign
[07:14] <NkZ> LjL The page does not mention codecs for Rythmbox
[07:14] <adub> i know how to do the terminal
[07:14] <LjL> DrNickRiviera, if something like that happens, a later reinstall is always a possibility
[07:15] <DrNickRiviera> yeah, that's a valid point
[07:15] <LjL> NkZ, third paragraph, "Install the following packages to play most proprietary formats using the Totem and Rhythmbox applications, both of which are included in Ubuntu by default"
[07:15] <NkZ> He he he he. Thanks. :-)
[07:16] <DrNickRiviera> just starting to wonder whether a reinstall wouldn't be a good idea to clean the system up a bit anyway
[07:16] <adaptr> adub: so you want to change the theme ? then do so
[07:16] <mnoir> adub: i think you will need to explore System -> Preferences a bit and hope that the apps you run honor those settings.  then come back and tell me how you did it :)
[07:16] <omarkj> Evening, I'm wondering if anybody knows where Ubuntu Edgy stores the firmware file for the ipw2200 driver, I'm unable to find any file ending with .fw.
[07:17] <adaptr> omarkj: they'll be in /lib
[07:17] <omarkj> adaptr: Ah, thanks, found it.
[07:17] <adaptr> omarkj: /lib/firmware/kernel-version to be exact
[07:20] <bluefox83> DrNickRiviera, to clean out all your old packages and such, just do sudo apt-get autoclean
[07:21] <croatoan> need some help with ATI drivers....
[07:21] <croatoan> when running fglrxinfo it still shows i am using MESA drivers
[07:21] <croatoan> followed the wiki guide for installation
[07:21] <bluefox83> think all the ati driver folks are still hung over from last night..
[07:21] <mnoir> omarkj: the command that is valuable for that kind of puzzle is locate
[07:21] <shivv> hi
[07:21] <croatoan> lol
[07:21] <adub> is there gkrellm themes that can be apt-get installed in
[07:22] <omarkj> mnoir: Yes, I did run it, updated the database first, but I must have written in a typo or something.
[07:23] <LjL> an "apt-cache search gkrellm theme" seems to suggest not
[07:23] <mnoir> omarkj: k - just wanted to let you know  (thanks rioghal)
[07:23] <croatoan> anyone in here that can help with ATI driver installation?
[07:23] <omarkj> mnoir: My bad, I should have tried a bit harder before running for help though, and I admit it. : )
[07:23] <stefg> !ati | croatoan
[07:23] <ubotu> croatoan: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:24] <mnoir> omarkj: naa - at least you tried sumpin.  btw - i found it the easy way - locate *.fw
[07:24] <adub> right i cant find anything either LjL
[07:24] <bluefox83> what the hell is fxlrxinfo?
[07:24] <croatoan> stefg: i've installed the drivers already
[07:24] <croatoan> but when i run fglrxinfo it says i'm still running the Mesa drivers
[07:25] <bluefox83> !nvidia
[07:25] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:25] <kitche> bluefox83: fglrxinfo is ati tool like glxinfo
[07:27] <johan__> at step 'network interfaces...' the boot stops for 60sec how can i change this
[07:28] <unclemike> ? how do i do a live upgrade from 6.06 to 6.10
[07:29] <LjL> Ubotu, tell unclemike about upgrade | unclemike, see the private message from Ubotu
[07:29] <johan__> how do you change the 60sec waiting time for 'conf network interfaces' at boot time
[07:30] <bcardarella> If I define a VirtualHost in Apache to be at another port (i.e. :8080) does Apache open this port for me or do I have to open the port myself?
[07:31] <omarkj> bcardarella: If port 8080 is blocked by a firewall you'll have to unblock it.
[07:31] <juako> hola
[07:31] <mnoir> bcardarella: apache will listen if you define the listen port correctly
[07:31] <juako> hello
[07:31] <bluefox83> what do you install in place of mesa drivers? i know i have atleast one game that wont work with mesa stuff installed..
[07:31] <juako> I CAN install glx in ubuntu
[07:31] <bcardarella> Okay, thanks. I just found the firewall guide on help.ubuntu.com ... I'll give it a shot
[07:32] <juako> have got a script to installation ?
[07:32] <mnoir> bcardarella: oh - I see - you will need to take care of the port properly in the firewall though
[07:32] <juako> I see script to debian in sonique
[07:32] <bcardarella> mnoir: thanks :)
[07:33] <mnoir> np
[07:33] <juako> in http://sonique54.free.fr/xgl/xgl.htm
[07:33] <croatoan> i get really poor frames with the MESA drivers
[07:33] <adaptr> croatoan: *everybody* does... it's software
[07:33] <croatoan> adaptr: so installing the ATI drivers for OpenGL is the right thing to do:?
[07:33] <adaptr> croatoan: I would say yes
[07:33] <mnoir> bcardarella: btw the #apache channel is pretty good but they hate the debian configuration setup so be wary if you go there  (thanks rioghal)
[07:34] <adaptr> mnoir: completely untrue
[07:34] <Subhuman> adaptr, they do.
[07:34] <croatoan> adaptr: well i installed them, but fglrxinfo is still telling me that i'm using the mesa drivers???
[07:34] <mnoir> adaptr: every time debian is mentioned they pull a very critical comment out of their bot
[07:34] <adaptr> we don't "hate" the debian setup, it's just unnecessarily complicated
[07:34] <adaptr> mnoir: then change the bot, it's public
[07:34] <bcardarella> mnoir: I know that my apache setup is okay, I just need to unblock that port... unfortunately the Ubuntu help guide on the firewall doesn't seem to informative
[07:35] <omarkj> juako: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager
[07:35] <unclemike> LjL, thanks for the upgrade info...is there away to get faster download speeds from this distro..in the package management..or unbunto just have low bandwidth
[07:35] <junk1> bulle i owe ya an apolige i didnt meen to be rude
[07:35] <mnoir> adaptr: i think it is much easier to administer and understand and i know it relies on "modern" techniques such as "include" but there you go...
[07:35] <juako> thank you omarkj
[07:35] <adaptr> croatoan: you need 3 things to get hardware OpenGL : 1. kernel video driver 2. Xorg video driver 3. hardware OpenGL driver for Xorg
[07:35] <mike-e> why can't I play movies that are hosted on a samba server?
[07:35] <spyke01> hey guys im having a problem with my 2 usual graphical games: planeshift and ut2004; planeshift causes x to restart and ut gives this error: Couldn't set video mode: Couldn't find matching GLX visual; the only change i have made has been installing the lastest alsa from source
[07:36] <adaptr> croatoan: you're missing one or more
[07:36] <LjL> Ubotu, tell unclemike about mirrors | unclemike, see the private message from Ubotu
[07:36] <croatoan> adaptr: i'm missing the OpenGL driver for Xorg
[07:36] <Tomasso> guys was installing kde using , when my computer got frozen
[07:36] <adaptr> mnoir: I actually agree, as of the versions packaged with Ubuntu, the apache setup is quite logical
[07:36] <bluefox83> is there anything i can install in place of the mesa libs? i think some of the stuff i have installed (like beryl) might need some of it
[07:36] <Tonren> Hey guys, I have my boot parameters set to "quiet splash", but as soon as my boot process gets to "Reading files needed to boot," the splash disappears and the screen goes blank, then I see a few more boot notices before GDM turns on.
[07:36] <Tomasso> now some packages seem to be broken
[07:36] <adaptr> croatoan: then you haven't got fglrx, no ?
[07:36] <Tomasso> i do fix packages and it doesnt work
[07:36] <Tomasso> what should i do?
[07:36] <mnoir> adaptr:  (thanks rioghal)
[07:36] <Tonren> Anyone know how to stop that from killing the splash?
[07:37] <croatoan> adaptr: well now i look and I see that I actually DO have that driver
[07:37] <croatoan> i followed the wiki guide to instal
[07:37] <omarkj> bcardarella: You're probably just using iptables to block the port, I have no idea if Ubuntu blocks some ports by default but the way to open 8080 TCP traffic to anyone via iptables is by writing iptables -p tcp -sport 8080 -j ACCEPT
[07:37] <croatoan> *intsall
[07:37] <adaptr> unclemike: such nonsense... an OS doesn't have "downlaod speeds"
[07:37] <croatoan> install ftw
[07:37] <Tonren> mnoir: ... did you just make a Japanese "shi" katakana?
[07:37] <adaptr> croatoan: glxinfo | grep direct
[07:37] <mike-e> why can't I play movies that are hosted on a samba server?
[07:37] <johan__> anyone managed to change the 60sec waiting time during boot at 'config network interfaces'
[07:37] <croatoan> direct rendering = no
[07:38] <mnoir> Tonren: yes but i am just using it as an elite  (thanks rioghal)  :)  (thanks rioghal)
[07:38] <adaptr> mike-e: because you need to mount the samba shares somewhere to get full access
[07:38] <croatoan> OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
[07:38] <unclemike> adaptr, i know...its the download speed from the repo's..thats slow
[07:38] <Tonren> mnoir: I don't get it.  An elite what?
[07:38] <adaptr> croatoan: did you configure opengl ?
[07:38] <croatoan> adaptr: what's the command?
[07:38] <mike-e> adaptr : so using the gnomevfs to connect to the share won't do it?
[07:38] <adaptr> unclemike: the repo's ? I'm almost certain you mean the package mirrors
[07:38] <omarkj> mike-e: You can, I've never been able to do it with the Google VFS thing (that is if you mount it via "Places", you have to manually mount it; mount -o username=username,password=password //location/of/share /mount/point
[07:38] <hou5ton> I'm trying to play streaming audio ... MPlayer starts to buffer, gets about 1/4 the way through, and then stops and will do no more. RealPlayer will 100% buffer, but then plays it in about 1 second blurbs, chopped all to pieces, no matter how I set the preferences.  ???
[07:38] <mnoir> Tonren: sorry - my autoreplace is overactive - s-m-i-l-e-y
[07:38] <unclemike> adaptr, yes
[07:39] <adaptr> mike-e: that would be no, then - you need to actually *mount* them under your filesystem
[07:39] <Tonren> mnoir: Oh, 'cause it looks like two eyes and a smirk.  Weird.
[07:39] <mike-e> ok thanks
[07:39] <adaptr> unclemike: well, what do you find slow ? my ADSL is 600KB/sec, and my NL mirrors will certainly go that fast
[07:39] <Zaggynl> How do I make a DVD out of  VIDEO_TS folder?
[07:39] <mnoir> Tonren: yeah - sortof :)
[07:39] <omarkj> mike-e: And remember to unmount it if you put your computer on standby, if you don't Nautulus will lock-up when you return from standby.
[07:39] <omarkj> Nautilus, sorry.
[07:39] <croatoan> adaptr: what is the command to configure OpenGL?
[07:39] <vanberge> can anybody tell me if gallery remote is runnable on ubuntu linux?
[07:40] <kitche> unclemike: us.archive.ubuntu.com has been slow for couple of days now
[07:40] <adaptr> croatoan: not sure, but the wiki should certainly have it
[07:40] <junk1> installed froze at 81% i dont no if it finished or not what should i do
[07:40] <adaptr> vanberge: that would depend on your *client* having Java, no ?
[07:40] <mnoir> Tonren: i have forgotten my Japanese (I lived there once upon a time)  I do not think I want to be typing 'shi' much - bad luck?
[07:40] <croatoan> adaptr: well it said to run aticonfig which i did
[07:40] <Tron_> anyone know why windows set to be transparent would appear to have a black backround? i've got direct rendering and all that supported with my graphics drivers
[07:40] <bcardarella> Okay, I'm getting stuck. Where should I go in my server config to have it listen on port 8080?
[07:40] <juako> Im a problem to visit my page
[07:40] <adaptr> croatoan: and what did that tell you ?
[07:40] <adaptr> bcardarella: what server ?
[07:41] <Tonren> mnoir: I don't know Japanese too much myself.  I'm sure the Katakana "shi" is pretty harmless, though.
[07:41] <bcardarella> Ubuntu Edgy Eft
[07:41] <juako> im browse the web from my AP fon

[07:41] <adaptr> bcardarella: no... what *server* *program*
[07:41] <vanberge> adaptr, well... i would think  so but i cannot seem to install it.  i've even tried to run the package with the java vm built in
[07:41] <bcardarella> Adaptr: Apache2

[07:41] <niu> help for usplash
[07:41] <unclemike> ok...im use to geting like 150 to 180 kbps..on my dsl..with mandriva or fc6
[07:41] <adaptr> vanberge: you can't *install* it ? that's.. odd, to say the least - it's included in the default install
[07:42] <tonyyarusso> !usplash | niu
[07:42] <ubotu> niu: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork
[07:42] <bcardarella> But I think that the firewall is also blocking the port? I'm not certain
[07:42] <vanberge> gallery remote??
[07:42] <croatoan> adaptr: not sure
[07:42] <vanberge> adaptr, ?
[07:42] <mike-e> 7172: tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnosuchshare (You specified an invalid share name)
[07:42] <bluefox83> when i try to remove libgl1-mesa-glx it tries to remove nearly everything i have installed that uses opengl (amarok, beryl, emerald, xorg-xserver...)
[07:42] <junk1> 81% install then froze i turned on laptop an i got grub error 17
[07:42] <unclemike> right now im get about 32 to 50 kbps..or 3000 to 5000 bps
[07:42] <junk1> now what?
[07:42] <adaptr> bcardarella: change the Listen port to 8080 in ports.conf
[07:42] <bluefox83> how do i get around that?
[07:42] <kitche> unclemike: OSes have nothing to do with speed it's either ipv6 doing it or the mirror your using
[07:42] <adaptr> bluefox83: install a hardware-0opengl renderer first
[07:42] <omarkj> bcardarella: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/examples.html here you can see how to correctly configure your virtualhost to listen on another port then the default one specified in httpd.conf
[07:43] <croatoan> adaptr: I think that for some reason Ubuntu is still using the original fglrx instead of the ATI version, if that makes sense
[07:43] <gpled> lost my sound.  think it is because under System-->Preferences-->sound, it keeps ignoring the input and picking the wrong sound card
[07:43] <gpled> any ideas how to fix this?
[07:43] <bluefox83> adaptr, such as? i already installed the nvidia package for edgy...
[07:43] <kitche> croatoan: there is only one fglrx which is ATI's
[07:43] <croatoan> adaptr: i followed the wiki verbatum
[07:43] <adaptr> croatoan: none whatsoever - fglrx == ati == ati only
[07:43] <mnoir> bcardarella: watch out - it is different in 6.06 and 6.10 - another config file was added to /etc/apache2 for ports
[07:43] <mnoir> another=a separate

[07:44] <Dr_Willis_Laptop> juako,  care to rephrase that?

[07:44] <bcardarella> mnoir: really? I seem to have ports.conf
[07:44] <mnoir> bcardarella:
[07:44] <adaptr> sjeez when wilol people learn ? :)
[07:44] <mnoir> bcardarella: good - that is where the line belongs!
[07:44] <junk1> help pls
[07:44] <gpled> what is the name of the config file the holds system sound settings?
[07:44] <bluefox83> adapter...did that a long time ago..guess it couldn't hurt to try again..
[07:44] <mnoir> bcardarella: you are running 6.06??
[07:44] <Tron_> anyone know why windows set to be transparent would appear to have a black backround? i've got direct rendering and all that supported with my graphics drivers
[07:44] <juako> im testing gtk-gnutella AMULE
[07:45] <omarkj> mnoir: Still, that'll affect all virtualhosts currently running, right ?
[07:45] <bcardarella> Excellent, that worked. Thanks guys!
[07:45] <juako> azureus
[07:45] <omarkj> It would be vise to simply create a new virtualhost; <Virtulahost *:8080>

[07:45] <vanberge> what's the default java package in ubuntu?   or shoudl i be using sun java

[07:46] <jannu1> i got error like that

[07:47] <adaptr> mike-e: "share structure" ?
[07:47] <mike-e> yah
[07:47] <mnoir> omarkj: remember - the listen just get apache to notice the paclets - the vhost defs say what to do with them
[07:47] <mike-e> like //SERVERNAME/WHATEVER
[07:47] <yosyp> when i take a screen shot it shows the whole screen
[07:47] <yosyp> but on the monitor it's all off center

[07:47] <mike-e> no i'm trying to mount it right now

[07:50] <samuel> sup all
[07:50] <yosyp> My resolution is set, but the thing is off center
[07:50] <croatoan> Why is Ubuntu telling me that I am using Mesa OpenGL drivers when I have installed the ATI Drivers?
[07:50] <mike-e> hou5ton : you're trying to stream from some server or you're trying to broadcast?
[07:51] <samuel> anyone know of a program I can use to draw desktop icons in enlightenment?
[07:51] <yosyp> samuel: idesk
[07:51] <mike-e> samu: gimp
[07:51] <hou5ton> mike-e:   listen to an interview
[07:51] <jerp> the bot's 'anyone' complaint is anal
[07:51] <Dr_Willis_Laptop> croatoan,  you may of not edited the xorg.conf go use the fglrx drivers, and you may need to reboot/restart X
[07:51] <Lynoure> It's the "anyone" day!
[07:51] <mike-e> hou5ton : use xmms?
[07:51] <samuel> yosyp: thats it! i couldnt remember the name, thanks!
[07:51] <hou5ton> mike-e:   no ... i'm downloading it now though
[07:51] <christopher_l> how can I customize the size of gnome terminal? Is there any settings file?
[07:51] <mnoir> yosyp: have you been manually messing with yer xorg.conf?
[07:51] <croatoan> Dr_Willis_Laptop: I rebooted, but i did not edit the xorg.conf....what needs to be changed?
[07:52] <yosyp> mnoir:  yes
[07:52] <Tron_> im having a hard time getting transparent windows to work, when i set them transparent the backround just turns black ... can anyone help me fix this?
[07:52] <croatoan> i can paste if u need me to
[07:52] <Lynoure> jerp: I disagree, many people repeat that "anyone used foobar" many times over without result if they are not prompted to ask their actual question.
[07:52] <yosyp> mnoir:  the auto conf scripts put me back to 1024x768, where I need 1440x900. I already have 915resolution and it's working
[07:52] <yosyp> mnoir:  but when X is started, the whole thing is moved up and tot he right
[07:52] <omarkj> I'm having some odd problems regarding Avahi, I'm using the most up to date ipw2200 driver and firmware but I'm unable to detect any daap shares at home using the wireless connection, but I am able to detect them when I'm wired up. Avahi-daemon is running and it seems to be working (I do detect my localhost daap share) and I'm able to telnet onto the daap port on the foreign server. Googling aroud shows that a few people are having the same problem but no so
[07:53] <mnoir> yosyp: there are hardware timing valuse in there.  you may want to restore your conf and apply the changes you need again, carefully - i suspect you changed a numbr that you didn't want to
[07:53] <Lynoure> yosyp: you could try   xvidtune
[07:53] <yosyp> mnoir:  any specific values?
[07:53] <bluefox83> how the hell do you get around in aptitude? i need to go backwards in the selections, and can't seem to get it to work
[07:53] <omarkj> Oh, the foreign server is a Debian server running mt-daap, it does show up in iTunes.
[07:53] <mike-e> so anyways when mounting a windows share so i can play movies off of the server what's the syntax supposed to be for the samba share name?
[07:53] <Tonren> Hey all, I'm gonna do a fresh install because I'm getting a lot of weird shit happening.  My install is about a year old.  Any things I might forget to backup?
[07:53] <mnoir> yosyp: if you march thru the resolutions (alt/ctl/+/-) does it get better?
[07:53] <Dr_Willis_Laptop> croatoan,  that !ati wiki pages gives the details basicially you change the Driver "ati" line to  Driver "fglrx"
[07:53] <Lynoure> yosyp: maybe look at  man xvidtune  for details
[07:53] <mike-e> bluefox: just use apt-get ?
[07:54] <jerp> lynoure,  I think that would bring up the repeating problem actually
[07:54] <Lynoure> jerp: using xvidtune?
[07:54] <yosyp> mnoir: let me try
[07:54] <bluefox83> mike-e, using aptitude because it supposedly gives more answers to why it wants to remove things
[07:54] <mnoir> yosyp: vals depend on hardware - i do not mess with those directly as i am afraid of blowing up my monitor
[07:54] <jerp> Lynoure, sure, will do
[07:55] <yosyp> mnoir: ctrl/alt/- or + don't do anything
[07:55] <Fuzzy76> Anyone that can help me with Eclipse on Kubuntu 6.10 64bit? It won't start. :-/ "!MESSAGE NLS missing message: initializer_error in: org.eclipse.core.internal.runtime.messages" in ~/workspace/.metadata/.log
[07:56] <mnoir> yosyp: hmm - you  have multiple res lines in your file?
[07:56] <idefix> is printing in linux only enabled with additional charge?
[07:56] <Lynoure> mnoir: What's your opinion about recommending xvidtune to yosep? It has been like a charm for me in that kind of situations, but that was way back in Debian. Does Ubuntu have some other tool for that?
[07:56] <bluefox83> idefix, huh?
[07:56] <Shaezsche> for some reason myl aptop boots much faster when i am running on battery mode. also, cpu clocking doesnt work properly if im plugged in. any ideas?
[07:57] <mnoir> Lynoure: it is a possible cure but he didn't have the problem b4 he started changing stuff.  i dunno waht other issues vidtune might introduce
[07:57] <yosyp> mnoir:  I disabled DDC in my config and set HorizSenc/VertRefresh/DisplaySize/Modeline manually
[07:57] <Shaezsche> also "irqpoll" speeds up boot too
[07:57] <Lynoure> idefix: What do you mean?
[07:57] <yosyp> Lynoure:  yeah when I freshly installed ubuntu is was at 1280xsomething, stretched
[07:57] <Dr_Willis_Laptop> idefix,  i print all the time. :) no charge. CUPS is gpl
[07:58] <Lynoure> idefix: If you have a printer that is supported, of course you can use it as long as you keep it in ink/toner
[07:58] <idefix> Lynoure, I get "ministrative tasks have been disabled for security reasons. Please use Menu System > Administration > Printing."
[07:58] <Dr_Willis_Laptop> idefix,  now SOME drivers may not be out for free with cups at this time.
[07:58] <idefix> what is cups?
[07:58] <mnoir> yosyp: well - you can try Lynoure's solution and fall back if you do not get where you want to go :)
[07:58] <tonyyarusso> !cups
[07:58] <ubotu> Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[07:58] <lotusleaf> Do I need to install ntp-server in order to have ntpd running? It would only be for keeping one system up to date. (I don't want to use ntpdate) The Ubuntu Wiki says all you need to install is ntp-simple but that's not true, ntpd doesn't run (but it exists) and the .conf file mentioned doesn't exist.
[07:59] <yosyp> xvditune seems like... a huge program :D
[07:59] <mnoir> lotusleaf: if you machine is goung to serve time to others, you need the server
[08:00] <lotusleaf> mnoir: it is not
[08:00] <Lynoure> yosyp: officially it is a small tool, see it's description: "xvidtune is a small tool that was part of xbase-clients" :)
[08:00] <yosyp> Lynoure: hah, should i just press auto and let it... try?
[08:00] <Lynoure> yosyp: But you do not really need to keep it around after using it.
[08:00] <mnoir> lotusleaf: it is only going to set itself, using some other server - then you need not install the server - only the client
[08:00] <lotusleaf> mnoir: the wiki mentions you only ned ntp-simple, but it doesn't start nor is the mentioned config file present
[08:00] <Tonren> I'm finally gonna reformat and wipe Windows.  I hope I don't forget t obackup anything important...
[08:01] <lotusleaf> mnoir: but the client does not function as far as I've seen
[08:01] <lotusleaf> mnoir: it's only ntpdate as usual
[08:01] <yosyp> ...? =[
[08:01] <lotusleaf> mnoir: and ntpd isn't activated
[08:01] <junk1> some one help the install freezez at 81% i tryd it twice
[08:01] <mike-e> junk: redownload the iso and burn it to a new cd
[08:02] <idefix> how many of you have Edgy Eft installed already?
[08:02] <junk1> no burner
[08:02] <mnoir> lotusleaf: ntpd serves time to others.  ntpdate is used to request time and set your time
[08:02] <mike-e> junk: order a few cds online and wait a few months then =P
[08:02] <lotusleaf> idefix: already? don't you mean fawn already? :)
[08:02] <kitche> lotusleaf: well ntpdate is the client you can use ntpd also to set time it's the daemon version of ntpdate
[08:02] <whileimhere> Is it possible to view an encrypted wmv on linux without mediaplayer?
[08:02] <Lynoure> yosyp: usually I fiddle with the left-right-down-up and shorter-taller instead
[08:02] <lotusleaf> mnoir: true, but if you read up on ntpdate it's not as accurate as using ntpd
[08:02] <idefix> lotusleaf: is printing in breezy badger possible?
[08:02] <Dr_Willis_Laptop> whileimhere,  not that i know of.. it may depend on the encryption
[08:02] <junk1> mike i need an os in the laptop i need something to run
[08:03] <lotusleaf> idefix: I don't see why it wouldn't be
[08:03] <whileimhere> okay I didnt think so
[08:03] <Lynoure> yosyp: and in very small steps.
[08:03] <christopher_l> how do I change startup size of applications?
[08:03] <mike-e> junk: is it dirty?
[08:03] <lotusleaf> kitche: I think I'll isntall ntp-server because ntpdate doesn't cut it, thanks
[08:03] <Dr_Willis_Laptop> whileimhere,  all the encrpted wmv's ive seen are the kind you err... 'dont' want to let others know you are watching.
[08:03] <Dr_Willis_Laptop> :P
[08:03] <yosyp> k i'll try
[08:03] <junk1> no its new got it yesterday
[08:03] <lotusleaf> mnoir: thanks I'll install ntp-server
[08:03] <mnoir> lotusleaf: mmmkay
[08:03] <junk1> clean as a whistel
[08:03] <machok> Hullo. May I ask a few newbee questions?
[08:03] <Lynoure> yosyp: and do read the man for xvidtune too, if you have not.
[08:04] <lotusleaf> mnoir: if you read up on ntpdate and the difference between the fuction of it and ntpd you'll notice a big difference in accuracy
[08:04] <mnoir> !ask | machok
[08:04] <ubotu> machok: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:04] <junk1> an the cheak cd didnt say any thing bad about it so i no its ok
[08:04] <kitche> lotusleaf: : well it seems like ntpd is in ntpdate ntp-simple doesnt even show yup in my packages that have ntpd
[08:04] <Dr_Willis_Laptop> whileimhere,  ive seen a huge # of malware/crudware riding alongside encrypted wmv's you can download.. i avoide all wmvs now a days.
[08:04] <Lynoure> machok: you just did. :)
[08:04] <mike-e> junk there's nothing you can do except go to a friends house, download the iso and reburn it, did you run the cd verifying thing upon installation?
[08:04] <jintxo> hey guys, if I have a package that claims that "pre-installation script returned error exit status 10", is there somehwere I can see the log for the preinst script?
[08:04] <Dave-Ubuntu> hi, i was in yesterday asking how to mount NTFS drives - well i failed miserably! no no big deal - I now have 2 drives sitting in here doing nothing! in simple terms or a FAQ how do i 1st prepare the drives for EDGY and then make them mount etc when i reboot. fdisk -l shows them listed and ready - but one has NTFS data on and the other was part of a RAID - now split
[08:04] <lotusleaf> kitche: interesting
[08:04] <machok> Well... I suppose its simple. I'm using NVidia chipset and graphics
[08:04] <machok> Using latest ubuntu (Edgy)
[08:04] <lotusleaf> kitche: I think ntpd showed up when I installed ntp
[08:05] <junk1> i did its fine
[08:05] <machok> and... i cant find neither of my harddisks
[08:05] <mike-e> dave: find the right syntax for /etc/fstab, and add them there
[08:05] <idefix> when printing a test page on my HP710C it simply doens't work :(
[08:05] <OiPenguin> Keen Newbie. I've tried Ubuntu previoulsy, but failed to get online due an obsure USB-wireless. How can I determine if my card is supported and what do I do if it isn't?
[08:05] <Zaggynl> k3b isn't reaching 16x speed with dvd burning :(
[08:05] <Zaggynl> http://www.pastebin.ca/315615 <= hdparm output
[08:05] <kitche> machok: did you install edgy yet?
[08:05] <ysiulec> Welcome All :-)
[08:05] <machok> No, I'm using the live CD
[08:05] <Dave-Ubuntu> mike: bare in mind i'm a noob! i need simple plain destructions - i mean instructions :P
[08:06] <Lynoure> Dave-Ubuntu: If you want to use them with Edgy only, do you need to have the NTFS? If not, you can use for example fdisk to repartition
[08:06] <machok> Will it make a difference if I install it on my hard drive?
[08:06] <ysiulec> Anymore speak in Polish?
[08:06] <Lynoure> !pl | ysiulec
[08:06] <ubotu> ysiulec: Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl
[08:06] <Dave-Ubuntu> Lynoure: right - how do i use fdisk!
[08:06] <mike-e> Dave321: start by making a mounting point, i.e. where you want the drives to be present..like /home/you/Desktop/drive1 /home/you/Desktop/drive2
[08:06] <mike-e> err Dave-Ubuntu
[08:06] <rohan> why is the feisty herd 2 release not announced yet, though the cd images are out ?
[08:06] <ysiulec> Dziki ubotu
[08:06] <mike-e> Dave-Ubuntu you don't need fdisk
[08:07] <Lynoure> Dave-Ubuntu: see man fdisk about that. if you have problems, or do not understand the man, I can help you more
[08:07] <junk1> mike? i got knoppix 5 but i dont no enough to install it that an i need my wireless card to work you got any info on that i no its not ununtu
[08:07] <Dave-Ubuntu> mike-e:  ok - what do i need and where is there some simple instructions
[08:07] <kitche> rohan: it's been annouced
[08:07] <yosyp> Lynoure: I went Left-Apple is it gives me Sorry you have requested a modeline. This is not possible, or not supported by your hardware configuration...
[08:07] <yosyp> wtf?
[08:07] <rohan> kitche: oh ? was it announced on the devel-announce list ?
[08:07] <mike-e> Dave-Ubuntu : man fstab ; man mount
[08:07] <kitche> rohan: look at #ubuntu+1
[08:07] <rohan> even distro watch has not listed its announce
[08:08] <Dave-Ubuntu> :-s
[08:08] <idefix> I better switch back to windows
[08:08] <rohan> ah ok kitche
[08:08] <Lynoure> yosyp: hmm, lcd or crt?
[08:08] <junk1> mike did you see what i wrote?
[08:08] <mike-e> junk1: does the knoppix cd at least start an installation? that will help you determine if it's a hardware problem or a media problem
[08:09] <machok> I'im using live CD of the latest Ubuntu and I cant find my harddisks - NTSF and FAT32 partitions. They are neither in /dev, nor in /user, not anywhere. Do I have to install Ubuntu on my hard drive to see my harddisks and install my drivers? (Because without VGA and chipset it really s**s :) )
[08:09] <yosyp> lcd, but in the x.org i said it's a "MonitorLayout" "CRT"
[08:09] <Tonren> machok: Are they in /media?
[08:09] <Lynoure> idefix: But you have set up the printer already?
[08:09] <Zaggynl> Can anyone help me with low DVD burning speeds in k3b?
[08:09] <machok> No, they are not there
[08:09] <mike-e> machok: you need to mount them
[08:09] <machok> there are hda1... etc, but I cant open it
[08:09] <idefix> Lynoure yes except the Location, it's empty
[08:09] <machok> It tells me "Cant open..."
[08:09] <Zaggynl> Someone of the 992 peeps in here gotta know :P
[08:10] <yosyp> brb gonna remove that
[08:10] <machok> mike-e, ok, HOW do I mount them without using the console?
[08:10] <kitche> machok: so you can't do sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /media/hda1?
[08:10] <mike-e> macogw: mkdir ~/winblows ; mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 ~/winblows should do it
[08:10] <bluefox83> so i figured out why my stuff kept wanting to remove itself...i forgot to do an apt-get upgrade first..
[08:10] <machok> kitche, in English please :)
[08:10] <mike-e> or something relatively close to that
[08:11] <kitche> machok: that is english
[08:11] <machok> I didn't understand a word.. :)
[08:11] <idefix> Lynoure?
[08:11] <mike-e> machok: are you afraid of using your operating system?
[08:11] <Arigato> how do you get the extra buttons on a mouse to work?
[08:11] <Lynoure> Dave-Ubuntu: Let me backtrack a bit. Did you need to keep the existing data or not?
[08:11] <phiqtion> What is beryl?
[08:11] <Dave-Ubuntu> ah man adding drives was simpler in winblows days! lol - disk management - partition, format and bang - there you go - is there a gui prog for adding drives in Linux ?
[08:11] <machok> mike-e, ok, if I write in the console "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /media/hda1" will I be able to see my harddisks in the Live version?
[08:12] <Lynoure> Dave-Ubuntu: If not, mike-e might disagree, but I think it is easiest to go for new ext3 filesystems if you'll only use the disks with Ubuntu
[08:12] <phiqtion> !beryl
[08:12] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-xgl
[08:12] <rohan> Dave-Ubuntu: no
[08:12] <Tonren> Hey guys, is it really worth it to compile a kernel for your arch?
[08:12] <rohan> Tonren: no
[08:12] <Dave-Ubuntu> rohan: cheers for the heads up
[08:12] <kitche> Dave-Ubuntu: yes pretty much System > then you should have a disk management
[08:12] <mike-e> machok: is your ntfs drive /dev/hda?
[08:12] <Lynoure> idefix: I cannot remember off-hand whether that means location as in /dev or as in ip... or queue
[08:12] <Tron_> im having a hard time getting transparent windows to work, when i set them transparent the backround just turns black ... can anyone help me fix this?
[08:12] <rohan> Dave-Ubuntu: but most of the time, just installing the required package is more than enough
[08:12] <linuxnewbie756> anyone use dvdrip regulary?
[08:12] <machok> mike-e yes, it is
[08:12] <rohan> and there IS a gui for installing packages, Dave-Ubuntu
[08:12] <Tonren> rohan: Howcome?
[08:12] <adub> how can i change my weather to be the right thing in fahrenheit on gkrellm
[08:12] <kitche> Tron_: what are you using?
[08:13] <Tron_> Eterm
[08:13] <Tron_> and gnome
[08:13] <aasdsa> hey ppl
[08:13] <Tron_> with the ati drivers
[08:13] <Tron_> rendering is enabled
[08:13] <rohan> Tonren: optimizations over pc architecture like i686 p4 etc are not human noticeable.
[08:13] <Dave-Ubuntu> Lynoure: problem is I am a noob big style - i bit the bullet yesterday and installed ubuntu - removing xp -
[08:13] <mike-e> machok: that should work fine
[08:13] <junk1> haha
[08:13] <Zaggynl> Can anyone help me with low DVD burning speeds in k3b?
[08:13] <rohan> Dave-Ubuntu: err.. why did you remove xp :/
[08:13] <aasdsa> im new to ubuntu can someone help me
[08:13] <junk1> sorry dave i had to
[08:14] <machok> mike-e, OK, do I have to do this every time I want to access my partition?
[08:14] <Dave-Ubuntu> rohan: cos I have another system running xp - this is my old one - and I wanted to "play" lol
[08:14] <idefix> how many manufacturers refuse to provide technical information to Linux developers?
[08:14] <kitche> Tron_: don't think gnome support transparency alone
[08:14] <Tonren> rohan: Well, the default kernel seems to be i386.  I have an AMD Turion 64, but I'm using the 32-bit CD because nothing works yet in 64bit.  It wouldn't be worth it for me?
[08:14] <Dave-Ubuntu> junk1:  no probs :P
[08:14] <rohan> Dave-Ubuntu: lol ok
[08:14] <mike-e> machok: if you don't plan on installing the os then yes
[08:14] <junk1> cograt dave play away lol
[08:14] <Tron_> huh?
[08:14] <linuxnewbie756> rohan, i will tell you why he removed xp, it sucks!
[08:14] <sarcevic> hi
[08:14] <Tron_> well i think thats what im using at least
[08:14] <Tron_> i tried fluxbox also
[08:15] <sarcevic> i've some problems with samba
[08:15] <elysium444> I have ubuntu 6.10 install and I want to install windows, how can I do this?
[08:15] <rohan> Tonren: ah no, 32bit to 64bit will surely make a huge difference
[08:15] <Tron_> the window wont go transparent though
[08:15] <rohan> linuxnewbie756: for you, sure ;)
[08:15] <Tron_> just black backround
[08:15] <linuxnewbie756> lol
[08:15] <Zaggynl> Can anyone help me with low DVD burning speeds in k3b?
[08:15] <machok> mike-e, OK, I'll install Edgy and I'll see :) 10x and have a nice day
[08:15] <mike-e> you too
[08:15] <kitche> !transparency|Tron_

[08:15] <rohan> Zaggynl: what is the problem /
[08:15] <Tonren> rohan: Well, that's the thing... I'm going to be runing 32bit Ubuntu, period.  It's just running on a 64bit processor.Will it speed things up, or screw them up?
[08:16] <adub> how can i change my weather to be the right thing in fahrenheit on gkrellm
[08:16] <Lynoure> Dave-Ubuntu: then I think fdisk or some other partitioning tool is the way to go if you do not need the data from those drives. But it makes no sense to try to follow instructions from 5 people or so simultaneously...
[08:16] <Dave-Ubuntu> the problem as I say is that I have 2 40gb drives sitting there pretty and I want to prep, format and use them in linux as strage drives - also to share to the xp system - but sussing out how to do the mounting, prepping etc is way beyond me at the mo - i need some sort of step by step guide
[08:16] <Tron_> thankyou kitche
[08:16] <rohan> Tonren: it will run fast, no screw up. but you will not be utilizing the full power of your processor
[08:16] <Zaggynl> rohan, my burner supports up to 16x burning speed with DVDs, I never came farther then 4x tops or ~2.3 stable speed
[08:16] <idefix> if you parallel port device is not on the list http://www.torque.net/linux-pp.html then you cannot use it?
[08:16] <elysium444> I have ubuntu 6.10 install and I want to install windows, how can I do this?
[08:16] <rohan> Zaggynl: maybe the media does not support high speed ?
[08:16] <oxigen> is there any schedule for releases? when will be next ready?
[08:16] <mike-e> Dave-Ubuntu: if you don't care about the data on the drives then install qtparted and fix them up
[08:16] <yosyp> Lynoure: I removed the CRT line, xvidtune still isn't happy
[08:16] <Zaggynl> rohan, I'm very sure it does
[08:16] <Tonren> rohan: Yeah, but if I install 64bit ubuntu, I won't be utilizing the full power of any application in existence, particularly flash!
[08:17] <kitche> !release|oxigen
[08:17] <Dave-Ubuntu> ok - lets have a look at qtparted!
[08:17] <ubotu> oxigen: Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases
[08:17] <mike-e> Dave-Ubuntu: i was under the impression you wanted to keep the data on the drives
[08:17] <Dave-Ubuntu> ty!
[08:17] <rohan> Tonren: lol, true :)
[08:17] <oxigen> kitche thanks!
[08:17] <rohan> Zaggynl: and in k3b the drive is configured to burn at the right speed ?
[08:17] <vishah> hello, Is it possible to use vi key-bindings in gnome applications
[08:17] <sarcevic> I have 2 subnet divided by a router, i have a server on one of this subnet and I wanna access to the server from an host of the other subnet...
[08:17] <mike-e> Dave-Ubuntu: after you get them formatted to ext3 you're going to need to add some references to them in /etc/fstab to get them mount upon your next boot
[08:17] <rohan> in settings, check devices, Zaggynl
[08:17] <Tonren> rohan: Know any good walkthroghs/tutorials/FAQs for kernel compilation?  I've never done it before.
[08:17] <sarcevic> i install samba and i setup the smb.conf file
[08:17] <rohan> Tonren: and you have no reason to do it now
[08:17] <Lynoure> yosyp: I guess it did not help you then, if it does not let you tune anything
[08:17] <Tonren> rohan: Howcome?
[08:17] <Zaggynl> rohan, I can't, but last time I checked it said something about 48x cd burning speed
[08:17] <idefix> rohan?
[08:18] <riotkittie> !kernel
[08:18] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[08:18] <rohan> Tonren: the generic kernels are just fine
[08:18] <Dave-Ubuntu> mike-e : i did orignally - but NTFS-3g was reporting that the drive had errors - so now biting the bullet again
[08:18] <sarcevic> but i can't view anything
[08:18] <rohan> idefix: yes ?
[08:18] <Tonren> rohan: I thought you said it'd be  aperformance boost from 32bit to 64bit.
[08:18] <sarcevic> is there anybody that can help me?
[08:18] <adub> how can i change my weather to be the right thing in fahrenheit on gkrellm
[08:18] <Zaggynl> rohan, it's set at auto, and it started with 'writing speed: 22713 KB/S (16.40x)'
[08:18] <idefix> rohan is that your real name or just nick?
[08:18] <kitche> Tonren: x86_64 isn't even 64 bit and nothing really uses x86_64 right now anyways
[08:18] <rohan> Tonren: yes, but not only for the kernel. if you use the whole system 64bit
[08:18] <Tonren> rohan: Oh.
[08:18] <yosyp> Lynoure: anything else? I mean the monitor says that it's on 1440x900 and no errors on the Xlog, but it's all shifted, and on the bottom there's this dark red bar that covers up about 1/5th of the screen
[08:18] <Tonren> rohan: Fair enough
[08:18] <elysium444> I have ubuntu 6.10 install and I want to install windows, how can I do this?
[08:19] <junk1> brb
[08:19] <rohan> idefix: it is my real name
[08:19] <linuxnewbie756> i have 5 vob files i want to turn into a dvd, how can i do that?
[08:19] <rohan> idefix: which device do you have, which is not listed on that site ?
[08:19] <riotkittie> elysium444: you want to set up a dual boot?
[08:19] <Lynoure> yosyp: dark red? not black?
[08:19] <Tonren> rohan: I have another tangential question fo ryou.  I'm backing up my music onto a USB 2.0 pocket hard drive, and it's taking between 1 and 3 seconds per song.  I feel like that's REALLY slow for USB 2.0.  Is it?
[08:19] <idefix> a HP 710C
[08:19] <yosyp> Lynoure: nope
[08:19] <Tonren> rohan: The songs are MP3 or OGG, about 4 - 8 MB each.  Shouldn't it be going faster?
[08:19] <linuxnewbie756> nah, thats about right
[08:19] <Lynoure> yosyp: That does not sound like anything I know.
[08:19] <Feldegast> elysium444 you can set up a dual boot.....
[08:19] <Tonren> rohan: I'm transferring them using rsync -rvz.
[08:19] <knight> hi how can i edit set?
[08:19] <yosyp> Lynoure: it also isn't on the login screen, only when logged in
[08:20] <Tonren> linuxnewbie756: Was that addressed to me?
[08:20] <kitche> Tonren: rsync is slow anyways
[08:20] <rohan> Tonren: no .. i think it is correct. i just used to copy paste, and it took ~3 seconds per song
[08:20] <riotkittie> or do you want a virtual win install or what?
[08:20] <linuxnewbie756> yes sir
[08:20] <adub> can someone help me in setting up gkrellm weather
[08:20] <Tonren> Huh, fair enough.
[08:20] <rohan> on a usb2 pendrive and a usb2 port, Tonren
[08:20] <Tonren> rohan: Same here.  Well, looks like I'll be here all day...
[08:20] <knight> hi how can i edit set
[08:20] <rohan> Tonren: large song collection, eh? :)
[08:20] <idefix> rohan the HP 710C is not on the list
[08:20] <Tonren> rohan: I think it's about 15GB.
[08:20] <elysium444> I want to set up a dual boot
[08:20] <knight> !set
[08:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about set - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:20] <Tonren> rohan: I've seen bigger, hee
[08:20] <Tonren> *hehe
[08:21] <rohan> Tonren: whoa ! how big is the pen drive ?
[08:21] <Tonren> rohan: 60GB!
[08:21] <Tonren> rohan: It's not a pen drive, it's an actual portable HD
[08:21] <Feldegast> elysium444 if you want in depth help pm me
[08:21] <yosyp> !widescreen | yosyp
[08:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about widescreen - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:21] <riotkittie> elysium444: do you have free space or a partition for windows set aside. ..  and more importantly, do you have a Live CD ?
[08:21] <Tonren> rohan: It's a Western Digital Passport.
[08:21] <yosyp> !915resolution | yosyp

[08:21] <knight> hi how can i edit set
[08:21] <elysium444> Feldegast:  I want to set up a dual boot but without removing ubuntu... how can i repair the bootloader after windows destroyes it
[08:21] <elysium444> ?
[08:21] <Peace_Islam> which version of ubuntu is nicer latest 6.10?
[08:21] <Zaggynl> Can anyone help me with low DVD burning speeds in k3b?
[08:22] <idefix> oh heck
[08:22] <rohan> Tonren: oh, great
[08:22] <TripleBla> Hey look!
[08:22] <TripleBla> http://www.cockeyed.com/inside/shaving/shaving7.jpg
[08:22] <TripleBla> a picture of you
[08:22] <rohan> idefix: sorry, i have no idea
[08:22] <Tonren> rohan: Yeah, it kicks butt.
[08:22] <riotkittie> elysium444: pop a Ubuntu live disc in after the win install  At the command line, "install grub"
[08:22] <linuxnewbie756> does anyone know how to use dvdrip?
[08:22] <elysium444> Feldegast: I want to know what to do after windows have destroyed the grub bootloader?
[08:22] <mnoir> !grub | elysium444 have you looked here
[08:22] <ubotu> elysium444 have you looked here: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[08:22] <Captain_Redbeard> Uh... I need a hand... how do I mount a device to allow users to write to it?
[08:23] <elysium444> thats all?
[08:23] <Feldegast> elysium444 riotkittie seams to know how :)
[08:23] <mnoir> elysium444: that link says what to do
[08:23] <elysium444> thanks
[08:23] <riotkittie> follow the link ubotu passed
[08:23] <mike-e> Captain_Redbeard: man chmod
[08:23] <pollywog> I thought Freenode was now OFTC
[08:23] <pollywog> I guess not
[08:23] <riotkittie> oftc?
[08:23] <mike-e> pollywog: no, it's not. same idea though.
[08:23] <mnoir> OFTC??
[08:23] <pollywog> oic
[08:24] <Dave-Ubuntu> qtparted gives me a core dump when starting with sudo lol - oh man
[08:24] <Zaggynl> Can anyone help me with low DVD burning speeds in k3b?
[08:24] <kitche> pollywog: well considered OFTC got made because everyone hated lilo there
[08:24] <mike-e> Dave-Ubuntu: use fdisk or csfdisk?
[08:24] <pollywog> lilo is the admin?
[08:24] <mike-e> was
[08:24] <Dave-Ubuntu> ok mike - on my way again lol
[08:24] <pollywog> oic
[08:24] <idefix> guess I'll have to write the HP710C driver myself
[08:24] <mnoir> Dave-Ubuntu: qtparted is graphical?  use gksudo to run it
[08:24] <idefix> anyone got a driver tutorial?
[08:24] <rohan> idefix: its a printer ?
[08:24] <idefix> yes
[08:25] <Dave-Ubuntu> ah ty mnoir
[08:25] <pollywog> I have a problem with the command 'gksudo file-roller'
[08:25] <mnoir> Dave-Ubuntu: no ty until it works :)
[08:25] <rohan> !printer | idefix
[08:25] <ubotu> idefix: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[08:25] <pollywog> I get an error that looks like an Xauthority problem
[08:25] <pollywog> is there a way around that?
[08:25] <mike-e> pollywog: is xorg configured properly?
[08:26] <Dave-Ubuntu> mnoir - i get Session management error: Authentication Rejected when seleceting the drive
[08:26] <mnoir> pollywog: is file roller a graphical program?
[08:26] <pollywog> mnoir yes it is
[08:26] <pollywog> and the advice to try again until it works sounds like Presidential advice ;)
[08:26] <bluefox83> how does nvidia-glx depend on libgl1-mesa-glx ?
[08:26] <riotkittie> stay the course.
[08:26] <riotkittie> heh
[08:27] <idefix> rohan it's not in the list :(
[08:27] <mnoir> Dave-Ubuntu: exact command?
[08:27] <rohan> idefix: :(
[08:27] <mike-e> yeah keep the political bullshit out
[08:27] <bluefox83> cus i just tried to remove that and it said it was removing just about everything i have installed..
[08:27] <mo> i can't get the nvidia driver 9746 to work. i deinstalled linux-restricted-modules and the nvidia-stuff. here's my xorg-log (http://phpfi.com/193406) and my xorg.conf (http://phpfi.com/193407). please help me.
[08:27] <phiqtion> how do i add a repository in Edgy? thx
[08:27] <Dave-Ubuntu> mnoir -= gksudo qtparted
[08:27] <pollywog> mike-e I assume xorg is properly configured since I did not mess with it
[08:27] <mike-e> phiqtion: sudo pico /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:27] <adub> how do you change the four letter station id in gkrellm
[08:27] <jerp> I lost my cursor when switching resolutions in the application in "System/Preferences"  anyone have a clue?
[08:27] <mnoir> Dave-Ubuntu: sec - i do not have it installed....
[08:27] <adub> i need the correct settings for temperature
[08:28] <Dave-Ubuntu> kk
[08:28] <pollywog> gksudo generally gives me the same error whenever I try to use it
[08:28] <bluefox83> jerp, try restarting X just to see if that helps..
[08:28] <pollywog> about not being able to open a terminal
[08:28] <jerp> oops, I used the word "anyone"  please disregard that foe paw
[08:28] <mike-e> Dave-Ubuntu: what's wrong with fdisk or cfdisk?
[08:28] <rohan> phiqtion: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories
[08:28] <pollywog> I found the only solution was to become root
[08:28] <jerp> blue, that's the ctrl+alt+bkspace, right?
[08:28] <calamari> hi
[08:28] <Zaggynl> Can anyone help me with low DVD burning speeds in k3b?
[08:29] <Gizmo_the_Great1> hi.  I can access this fine using a Windows XP laptop. However, my other laptop has Ubuntu on it, and I cannot access the MozillaProfiles folder using that. Any ideas?
[08:29] <coNP> Zaggynl: what is your problem?
[08:29] <Dave-Ubuntu> mike : bare in mind this is my first 24 hours on LINUX -
[08:29] <Zaggynl> coNP, I'm trying to burn DVDs at 16x, only get to ~2.3x
[08:30] <mnoir> Dave-Ubuntu: i dunno - it works on my 6.10 system
[08:30] <Zaggynl> heh
[08:30] <mnoir> mike-e: are you saying that qtparted is not supposed to work for him?
[08:30] <Zaggynl> that one never gets old does it :/
[08:30] <Dr_Willis> wowsers  - aint seen that in ages
[08:30] <mike-e> mnoir: no?
[08:31] <yosyp> anyone here witha  19" widescren>?
[08:31] <yosyp> ?
[08:31] <AngryElf> does anyone here use DVD::Rip?
[08:32] <mnoir> Dave-Ubuntu: i am stumped - looking for the answer - have you tried gparted as well?
[08:32] <Zaggynl> Can anyone help me with low DVD burning speeds in k3b?
[08:32] <Dave-Ubuntu> mnoir - no not yet! i think i have tried most things - i seem to be missing the point gere
[08:32] <pollywog> I installed kubuntu Edgy two days ago on a laptop and I have noticed that if I do not login within a few minutes of starting the machine, the screen goes blank and I can login except remotely
[08:32] <pollywog> from ssh
[08:33] <mnoir> Dave-Ubuntu: the point being ?
[08:33] <adub> can someone help me in changing gkrellms weather plugins 4 letter code
[08:33] <Zaggynl> holy botnet batman
[08:33] <pollywog> I installed kubuntu Edgy two days ago on a laptop and I have noticed that if I do not login within a few minutes of starting the machine, the screen goes blank and I can't login except remotely
[08:33] <Wipster> err
[08:33] <Dave-Ubuntu> mnoir - all I want to do is mount the drives, format them and use them!
[08:33] <pollywog> could the problem be kdm?
[08:33] <moonstone> Hi
[08:33] <rohan> gotta sleep .. bye all, gn
[08:33] <mnoir> Dave-Ubuntu: what guide have you been following
[08:34] <bluefox83> ok, why is nvidia-glx dependant on a mesa lib?
[08:34] <mike-e> Dave-Ubuntu: allow me to welcome you to the linux world by saying all of your problems can be solved by reading man pages and google
[08:34] <gleesond> anyone know how to make my ATI card not display a white washed image?
[08:34] <moonstone> Why Ardour fonts look weird in ubuntu edgy?
[08:34] <Dave-Ubuntu> mnoir - i havent - just whats been said in here - a guide would be good!
[08:34] <pollywog> mike-e not always
[08:34] <mike-e> pollywog: always.
[08:34] <mnoir> Dave-Ubuntu: sec
[08:34] <AngryElf> gleesond, return it for a refund
[08:34] <pollywog> no, if that were true we would not be here
[08:34] <adub> does anyone in here use gkrellm ??
[08:34] <Zaggynl> Can anyone help me with low DVD burning speeds in k3b?
[08:34] <Dave-Ubuntu> mike-e: Intending to bypass the manual by asking in here :P
[08:34] <pollywog> and you are implying that howtos are completely up to date
[08:35] <mike-e> pollywog: people come to irc for help because they're too lazy to take the initiative of finding out for themselves
[08:35] <mnoir> Dave-Ubuntu: brand new disk?
[08:35] <pollywog> mike-e: if you really believe that why are you here?
[08:35] <bluefox83> Zaggynl, dvd burning is usually kinda slow O.o
[08:35] <Feldegast> the ubuntu update of restricted modules wants to remove my nvidia-glx (96.29) package.....advice?
[08:35] <mike-e> pollywog: you're either part of the solution or part of the problem
[08:35] <etank> abid I use gkrellm
[08:35] <mike-e> and i am not here for help, i'm here to help =P
[08:35] <Zaggynl> bluefox83, yeah I guess, I don't seem the only one, it's even filed as a bug and there are many reports on the forum
[08:35] <pollywog> I have tried to find info on how to fix my problem with rt2500 on my own
[08:35] <pollywog> to no avail
[08:35] <elysium444> How many primary partition can be used on a hardisk and can a logic partition be converted in a primary one?
[08:36] <Dave-Ubuntu> mnoir - no - one has NTFS data - that can be lost and the other was part of a RAID - i wanna wipe the lot and just use them exclusively on UBUNTU as storage
[08:36] <gleesond> AngryElf: thats definatly an option but it worked fine for the last year now all of a sudden it started with the white washed crap
[08:36] <pollywog> I might be plain DUMB but I am not lazy
[08:36] <mike-e> elysium444: only one primary partition as a hard drive can only have master boot record
[08:36] <Feldegast> elysium444 4 primary or 3 primary and 1 extendard is the max
[08:36] <yazid> elysium444, four in all, not easily
[08:36] <pollywog> mike-e Yeah I knew you were helping
[08:36] <elysium444> thanks
[08:37] <pollywog> but most people won't help those who can just as easily help themselves
[08:37] <bluefox83> Zaggynl, any reports of a work-around? there's no reason to use mesa, and it actually breaks some shit!
[08:37] <mnoir> Dave-Ubuntu: oh - I see - now i understand mike-e's comments :)  i suggest you google 'ubuntu new disk'  there are a number of steps i think you need
[08:37] <elysium444> can the logical be converted ? I cant do it with gparted
[08:37] <Feldegast> the extendard can have multiple ligical partitions
[08:37] <Zaggynl> bluefox83, not that I know off
[08:37] <yazid> elysium444, you'd have to transfer the EXACT values describing the logical into one of the four primaries
[08:37] <mnoir> Dave-Ubuntu: snot hard, just takes a couple of steps
[08:37] <Dave-Ubuntu> cheers Mnoir
[08:37] <mnoir> Dave-Ubuntu: and seeing it in writing is valuable
[08:38] <kitche> Dave-Ubuntu: it's its brand new you might have to format it with the cd first that it cames with
[08:38] <mike-e> if you read it, and implement it, you're more likely to remember it permanently.
[08:38] <elysium444>  yazid: how can it be done with gparted?
[08:38] <yazid> there is something you could try, would not recommend it if there is valuable data anywhere
[08:38] <mnoir> mike-e: sorry - i now understand what you were saying to Dave-Ubuntu
[08:38] <Dave-Ubuntu> hopefully see you guys in a bit with 80gb more storage!
[08:38] <yazid> no idea about the parted way
[08:39] <pollywog> I have found that qtparted, though quite good, is not as good as PartitionMagic
[08:39] <pollywog> but maybe that's just me
[08:39] <elysium444> I think I have to umount all the patitions...
[08:39] <michael117> pollywog: Why is it not as good as PartitionMagic?
[08:40] <mnoir> elysium444: yes, if you want to change them
[08:40] <mike-e> cfdisk > *
[08:40] <pollywog> michael117: I could not move partitions with it and last month I just had to reinstall everything except for the XP partition
[08:40] <elysium444> pollywog: try Gparted
[08:40] <pollywog> I tried that first
[08:40] <pollywog> same thing
[08:40] <pollywog> same result
[08:41] <pollywog> maybe I am just dumb though
[08:41] <yazid> deleting the logical and then making a primary with the EXACT same sector values SHOULD work. no warranty!
[08:41] <pollywog> but the reinstall went well
[08:41] <WarLord> hello
[08:41] <michael117> pollywog: By moving partitions do you mean resizing or what exactly?
[08:41] <mnoir> yazid: that would be after a complete backup...
[08:41] <WarLord> someone will help me with ubuntu setuping ???
[08:42] <pollywog> I wanted to make one partition smaller and give the free space to another
[08:42] <WarLord> i deleted a partition
[08:42] <Azul> yazid, are you from malaysia?
[08:42] <yazid> mnoir, that is what i mean. IF it works well, there should be no data loss though
[08:42] <WarLord> and make a new partition.
[08:42] <yazid> Azul, nope germany
[08:42] <michael117> Warlord: What do you need help with?
[08:42] <WarLord> but it showing SWAP as only 30kb
[08:42] <mnoir> WarLord: do you have a question?
[08:42] <WarLord> and the "/" is 11 GB
[08:42] <pollywog> which I was always able to do witn PM
[08:42] <Azul> yazid, ok, thought you were someone else
[08:42] <WarLord> but i have created HDD8 as "7 GB"
[08:42] <michael117> WarLord: are you in the live CD now?
[08:42] <WarLord> and SWAP as "3GB"
[08:42] <WarLord> michael117
[08:42] <WarLord> yes i am into live CD
[08:43] <WarLord> can to tell me the way of setup ?
[08:43] <pollywog> with Parted I can only do it if the paritions in question are adjacent
[08:43] <WarLord> i am into my laptop
[08:43] <WarLord> setuping ubuntu in my pc
[08:43] <adub> does anyone use hydra here ??
[08:44] <WarLord> well
[08:44] <WarLord> i think i am done :D
[08:44] <WarLord> its setuping./
[08:44] <mnoir> WarLord: why swap=3 gig?
[08:44] <idefix> !printer
[08:44] <ubotu> Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[08:44] <WarLord> mnoir
[08:44] <pollywog> apparently there are some gui's for WPA but howto's said there were not
[08:44] <WarLord> i think swap make linux more faster
[08:44] <WarLord> isnt it ?
[08:44] <michael117> WarLord: You should be able to use GParted and delete both of the partitions you said you made. Make sure it shows a large block of unallocated space. Make the swap, then make the / root partition
[08:44] <Azul> so you would need cups in order to print
[08:44] <michael117> WarLord: No
[08:44] <Azul> make sure the cups look nice
[08:44] <WarLord> michael117 then ?
[08:45] <mnoir> WarLord: no and i think 3 gig is too much - not a problem but a waste
[08:45] <yazid> but with parted you can set up partitions which have numbering out of sync with their physical sequence. VERY confusing to some people
[08:45] <WarLord> mneptok
[08:45] <WarLord> mnoir
[08:45] <michael117> WarLord: Swap is like what the page file is in Windows. How much RAM is in your laptop?
[08:45] <WarLord> then what shoud i put ?
[08:45] <WarLord> michael117
[08:45] <WarLord> its 256
[08:45] <WarLord> SD
[08:45] <cruicent> Hi, could someone help me with permissions for a usb drive please?
[08:45] <Milosch> 1G would be a waste then
[08:45] <mnoir> WarLord: maybe 150% of main mem size
[08:45] <yazid> always recommended: 2GB nowadays
[08:46] <WarLord> well
[08:46] <loveelisha> hello
[08:46] <WarLord> 2GB is better maybe
[08:46] <Azul> cruicent, edit your /etc/fstab
[08:46] <mnoir> yazid: that is not the current opinion i read
[08:46] <WarLord> well i restarted
[08:46] <michael117> WarLord: By default, 600MB is usually allocated and I personally use 1 GB
[08:46] <knight> hi can any1 help me finding an electronics chat room?
[08:46] <doko> WarLord: more than 200% physical memory is waste
[08:46] <pollywog> knight Google is your friend
[08:46] <BearPerson> knight, there might be an ##electronics
[08:46] <yazid> the old rule of "double physical" has its root in VERY old unix workings. Which don't concern us since ages.
[08:46] <loveelisha> can warlord help me??
[08:46] <WarLord> loveelisha nop
[08:47] <Azul> i don't want to spare one whole gigabyte of my hard drive for swap space
[08:47] <WarLord> i am n00b
[08:47] <Tonren> What's the difference between XGL, AIGLX and FGLRX?  What's the difference between Beryl and Compiz?
[08:47] <dredhammer> is there a tag editor for video files like there is for mp3s?
[08:47] <Milosch> loveelisha: speak, what's the problem?
[08:47] <Azul> !noob | WarLord
[08:47] <ubotu> WarLord: Words like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period.
[08:47] <yazid> there IS ##electronics
[08:47] <WarLord> well
[08:47] <pollywog> jfgi?
[08:47] <pollywog> or oftc?
[08:47] <Azul> ##electronics aint what it used to be
[08:47] <Azul> it sucks now most of the time
[08:47] <loveelisha> I got banned from Azureus support room after I posted a url of a torrent site by mistake...
[08:48] <loveelisha> for the first time..
[08:48] <Arron_> Hello i need help
[08:48] <loveelisha>  :(
[08:48] <yazid> 2GB saves the day when you mean to type "dd bs=1M" and type "dd bs=1G" by accident ;)
[08:48] <Milosch> whoops
[08:48] <loveelisha> They banned me...
[08:48] <Arron_> when i login to ubuntu gnome-panel crashes
[08:48] <wick2o> hello
[08:48] <Arron_> and then when i close the bug report it crashes again can anyone help me
[08:48] <loveelisha> can u please unban me from there?
[08:48] <wick2o> anyone know any tricks to get ifplugd to work in dapper lts?
[08:48] <loveelisha> please!
[08:48] <cruicent> whats the command for finding out your hard drive partiotion things (hda1, hda2 etc)?
[08:48] <pollywog> well don't make the mistake of asking an Ubuntu question in #debian
[08:48] <Azul> loveelisha, talk to the ops
[08:48] <Lynoure> loveelisha: this is not Azureus anything
[08:48] <wick2o> cruicent: nano /etc/fstab
[08:49] <mnoir> pollywog: i imagine that is painful :)
[08:49] <pollywog> quite
[08:49] <Arron_> this is the bug report
[08:49] <Arron_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/1445/
[08:49] <loveelisha> in which room should I go?
[08:49] <yazid> does anybody here run an edgy/etch hybrid btw?
[08:49] <xiq> crucient: sudo fdisk -l /dev/hda ?
[08:49] <cruicent> thanks, I cant remember what 'name' my harddrive is though to put in it
[08:49] <Azul> besides, azureus ain't that hard, i don't see the need for a support channel
[08:49] <cruicent> ah yes, thanks
[08:49] <Lynoure> loveelisha: start with talking to the person who banned you.
[08:49] <Burgus> i have a problem with my ubuntu, when i turn on the pc is says something about init: rc2process ... killed my signal 11. when i type ps on a terminal i got several processes, can someone help me please ?
[08:49] <loveelisha> i can't access him..
[08:49] <loveelisha>  :(
[08:49] <Milosch> wtf is azureus (sp)
[08:50] <michael117> Milosch: BitTorrent client
[08:50] <Azul> cruicent, fdisk -l will tell you every partition in your box
[08:50] <wick2o> loveelisha: then there is nothing you can do
[08:50] <Azul> and usb drives too
[08:50] <yazid> Burgus, signal 11 is a program crashing hard
[08:50] <dredhammer> how do i edit the properties of a video file?
[08:50] <WarLord> hello
[08:50] <loveelisha> oh no...
[08:50] <wick2o> thats whats so great about running any service, you can ban whoever you want whenever you want
[08:50] <Spaghetti_Knife> Hi, I have a problem with my ftp and irc downloads.
[08:50] <Burgus> yazid: is that bad ?
[08:50] <Milosch> loveelisha: #linpeople is/might be the place to look for an admin, but not likely they can/will do anything
[08:50] <Spaghetti_Knife> They always start out strong only to taper down in bandwith to nothing.
[08:50] <WarLord> is here any ubuntu driver for Nokia 7610 cable ????
[08:50] <loveelisha> ok i will try
[08:50] <loveelisha> thanks anyway...
[08:50] <WarLord> or any win exe emulator ?
[08:50] <Arron_> i need help bad i cant get in to ubuntu properly
[08:51] <yazid> Burgus, something crashing during system load? no, it actually gives you a more defined and stable system
[08:51] <pollywog> loveelisha: how long ago did they ban you?  usually you get kicked the first time
[08:51] <wick2o> WarLord: wine
[08:51] <WarLord> copyring files....
[08:51] <WarLord> wine ?
[08:51] <loveelisha> more than 12 hrs...
[08:51] <WarLord> :o
[08:51] <michael117> WarLord: Yes, wine emulates the windows API
[08:51] <adon> Arron_: what is the problem?
[08:51] <mnoir> !wine | WarLord
[08:51] <ubotu> WarLord: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[08:51] <Azul> Arron_, how so?
[08:51] <WarLord> oh
[08:51] <michael117> WarLord: Wine Is Not an Emulator
[08:51] <Arron_> well when i login to ubuntu gnome-panel crashes
[08:52] <Arron_> then i get a bug report so i close that and it crashes again
[08:52] <michael117> WarLord: winehq.com
[08:52] <Arron_> so i cant get in to anything
[08:52] <loveelisha> they have permanently banned me..!
[08:52] <yazid> Arron, amd64 system?
[08:52] <WarLord> :D
[08:52] <Arron_> no
[08:52] <pollywog> loveelisha: if you have a dynamic IP, reconnect and go in with a diff nick and explain
[08:52] <ublender> hey, I just changed ram for my system, and now it won't login, isn't there a command to fix this? and if so, what is it?
[08:52] <Arron_> well i have an AMD64 CPU but im using the I386 distro
[08:52] <adon> Arron_: how about the safe gnome session
[08:52] <loveelisha> i have a static one...
[08:52] <pollywog> oh
[08:52] <Arron_> still crashes with safe gnome
[08:52] <Xera> how do i check my gtk version?
[08:53] <yazid> Arron, i had that recently (but only with amd64, with i386 ON SAME BOX it works)... esound got confused and hung the whole gnome-session process
[08:53] <dredhammer> how do i edit the properties of a video file?
[08:53] <Burgus> yazid: first time (when my pc starts) i saw this error was few days ago, when i saw it i reinstalled the whole system and now i didn't get that error when i turn on, now it is when i turn off
[08:53] <Arron_> well i was working fine until yesterday
[08:53] <michael117> WarLord: It's no where near perfect, but very impressive if you consider that the wine developers have created the ability to run a windows app from scratch
[08:53] <pollywog> loveelisha: do you also have a dialup account with your ISP?
[08:53] <Burgus> yazid: i don't know what should i say, i'm not so good in english
[08:53] <loveelisha> nopes
[08:53] <Arron_> i clicked on an iso and press extract files here and then it crashed :(
[08:53] <Azul> Arron_, what have you done?
[08:53] <rvalles> hi~
[08:53] <rvalles> block-vmdk.c:25:23: uuid/uuid.h: No such file or directory
[08:53] <Arron_> that ^
[08:53] <WarLord> oh
[08:53] <loveelisha>  :(
[08:53] <rvalles> which package has that include?
[08:53] <vakosel> hi ! i am new to the community and i want to ask if i should upgrade from 6.06 to 6.10?
[08:54] <Burgus> yazid: i was thinking that is any bad process running on it.
[08:54] <Azul> loveelisha, you're out of luck
[08:54] <Arron_> i dont see how extracting files can crash it though
[08:54] <pollywog> you could ask someone who knows you to talk to an admin for you
[08:54] <Burgus> yazid: because i got a lot when i type ps
[08:54] <Arron_> azul: would you like to see the crash log?
[08:54] <yazid> Arron, load safe xterm. start a window manager (gnome-wm &) and a second terminal. in that terminal, type "strace gnome-session". if in the lines where strace comes to a stop, it says anything about "16001", it's an esound problem
[08:54] <michael117> WarLord: Also, you might want to look into Crossover Office if you want to run MS Office
[08:54] <Azul> Arron_, i'm not a good reader of crash reports
[08:54] <Arron_> ok
[08:54] <loveelisha> don't say like that!
[08:55] <Jowi> rvalles, a simple search "apt-cache search uuid dev"
[08:55] <Arron_> well i can get on to ubuntu
[08:55] <Arron_> its just MY main login wont work
[08:55] <Arron_> just one user ID has the problem
[08:55] <rvalles> Jowi: ok
[08:55] <tomasso> why when i try to run a runnable file using ./ i get No such file or directory
[08:55] <jrib> !find uuid/uuid.h | rvalles, or use packages.ubuntu.com to search for the file
[08:55] <tomasso> ?
[08:55] <Arron_> but thats the one with all my main settings on
[08:55] <Burgus> yazid: do you have any ideas?
[08:55] <ubotu> File uuid/uuid.h found in uuid-dev
[08:55] <rvalles> ffed: uuid-dev apparently
[08:55] <yazid> Burgus, not at the moment no
[08:55] <Syntax_Error> lo
[08:55] <Azul> Arron_, backup your stuff and recreate the id maybe?
[08:55] <rvalles> but a bit confusing for it to be there and not where kvm documentation said. I guess it's kvm's wiki fault after all
[08:56] <Milosch> Syntax_Error: lo: command not found
[08:56] <Azul> Arron_, i still don't know what you did.. ^ ?
[08:56] <cruicent> in /etc/fstab, for a usb hard drive what would I need for the last setting, the numbers for dump and fsck?
[08:56] <Burgus> yazid: im afraid that if i'll turn off my pc... after few hours i cant get it on X
[08:56] <Arron_> AZUL: i did it yesterday all i did was right clicked on an ISO id just made then clicked Extract files here!
[08:57] <Syntax_Error> i am using edgym and my keyboard is now in us under x... how can i switch it back to fr ?
[08:57] <Burgus> yazid: it says that stupid error hehe, thanks anyway.
[08:57] <Arron_> and ive tried recreating the ID but it still crashes
[08:57] <cdburgess75> sound problems on my toshiba laptop in edgy
[08:57] <frost_> ey i have a question, it says on myspce that m,y java scro[t is put of date is there a way to update it with using the terminal?
[08:57] <adon> Arron_: what are the contents of your .gnome_private directory?
[08:57] <Azul> Arron_,  weird, it might crash that session only, not keep crashing
[08:57] <Arron_> one sec adon ill check
[08:58] <vakosel> how do i upgrade to 6.10?
[08:58] <Jowi> !upgrade vakosel
[08:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about upgrade vakosel - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:58] <Azul> !upgrade | vakosel
[08:58] <ubotu> vakosel: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[08:58] <Arron_> adon: were is the .gnome-private folder?
[08:58] <vakosel> thx!
[08:58] <adon> Arron_: in your home folder
[08:58] <Dr_Willis> va/j #knoppmyth
[08:58] <Dr_Willis> doh
[08:58] <yazid> <<old debianite/server admin who rather shuts up than give wrong advice about distro SPECIFIC stuff i don`t know well :)
[08:58] <Arron_> ok one sec
[08:59] <adon> aarron:gnome2_private
[08:59] <frost> ey i have a question, it says on myspce that my java script is put of date is there a way to update it with using the terminal?
[08:59] <Burgus> so, btw, when will be the next version of ubuntu ? i heard something about festy but i'm not sure.
[08:59] <xiq> cruicent: i'm not exactly sure what dump is, but i've never seen it as anything other than 0. fsck/pass is the order in which the drives should be checked for potential fscking on boot. 0 means to never fsck it (sensible for a drive that isn't automounted)
[08:59] <Jowi> !release
[08:59] <ubotu> Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases
[09:00] <thisheregiraffe> Burgus: there's a new release every ~6 months
[09:00] <Arron_> adon: theres nothing in my .gnome_private folder
[09:00] <Milosch> !jiggy
[09:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about jiggy - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:00] <yazid> cruicent, dump: again, ancient unix history
[09:00] <Arron_> adon: theres nothing in my .gnome_private folder
[09:00] <cruicent> which I havent got a clue about :)
[09:00] <adon> arron_:is there a .cache folder?
[09:01] <Arron> Ah sorry about that i closed it
[09:01] <Spaghetti_Knife> Are there any good filesharing apps besides frostwire? It's kinda screwing up on me.
[09:01] <xiq> cruicent: man fsck says the 'dump' field is only looked at by the dump(8) program. it's unlikely it is even on your system, so you don't need to worry about it. sounds like it could be an old backup system.
[09:01] <Arron> adon: as i was saying there isnt anything in .gnome-private
[09:02] <elyon> How do I make xorg.conf revert back to it's original (automatically detected) version?
[09:02] <michael117> I've been trying to burn an audio CD with either Serpentine or GnomeBaker and was able to a few days ago and whenever I would put a blank CD in the drive it would show up in Nautilus and work fine. Now though, both programs will start the burning process, convert the files, but then before actually burning it, they stop and give me errors. Also, the blank CD's no longer show up in Nautilus. Any solutions?
[09:02] <dope> is there a hotkey to paste from the clipboard when in the console?
[09:02] <yazid> dope, the middle mouse button
[09:02] <dope> anything else?
[09:02] <yazid> dope, oh, REAL console? sorr
[09:02] <yazid> y
[09:02] <xiq> dope: shift-insert
[09:02] <dope> kk thx buddies
[09:03] <cruicent> my / =0 1, /boot=0 2, /home=0 2, in my fstab so I was wondering what I should put for my external drive, I dont really understand what its doing
[09:03] <adon> Arron_: try deleting the contents of your /tmp folder
[09:03] <Arron> ok
[09:03] <Arron> be back in a sec
[09:03] <yazid> *console-deprived since I have the i810 X server running on a GMA 3000.... REALLY makes you unlearn the ALT-Fx reflex
[09:03] <dope> shift insert didn't work
[09:03] <yazid> CTRL+V
[09:03] <borisyeltsin> Hi, wpasupplicant won't update and won't uninstall, even a dpkg --force-all --remove wpasupplicant gives errors. How do I delete it?
[09:04] <dope> nope
[09:04] <Spaghetti_Knife> Are there any ftp clients for Ubuntu besides frostwire?
[09:04] <elyon> Is it even possible to make Ubuntu rescan my hardware and setup xorg.conf automatically?  I think I may have made changes that are causing problems...
[09:04] <oFF-beAt> can't play mp3s.. have installed gstreamer too
[09:04] <TtyS2> hi
[09:04] <BrendanM> hi
[09:05] <Spaghetti_Knife> Is there a program that can load mp3's to my 3rd generation ipod?
[09:05] <Rookie-1> elyon - this is what you looking for ? sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:05] <thisheregiraffe> Spaghetti_Knife: have you tried gtkpod?
[09:05] <JosefK> elyon: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[09:05] <Dr_Willis> Spaghetti_Knife,  frostwire is not a ftp client. its a P2P client.
[09:05] <xiq> cruicent: it probably isn't such a great idea to have a fstab entry for  removable drive anyway, since you can't really guarantee what device name it will get (unless you do some udev cleverness).
[09:05] <Arron> adon: it says i dont have permission to delete the files
[09:05] <elyon> Rookie-1: Well, that takes me through setting it up myself.  What I'm hoping for is a way for it to set it up automatically like it did when installing Ubuntu.
[09:05] <thisheregiraffe> Spaghetti_Knife: it's in the universe.  you can do aptitude install gtkpod
[09:05] <JosefK> elyon: run the one I just posted, it's automatic
[09:06] <JosefK> elyon: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[09:06] <thisheregiraffe> Spaghetti_Knife: it works with my ipod mini (which is.. ~1.5 years old)
[09:06] <cruicent> its always been /dev/sda1 when I was in fedora, its my only sata drive so I think I should be safe
[09:06] <oFF-beAt> gstreamer0.8-plugins        installed but still gives me error.. u dun have plugins needed installed.. HELP
[09:06] <aeromix> some good program for making slideshows?
[09:06] <riotkittie> !kernel
[09:06] <elyon> JosefK: Oh, thank you.  And will that remove any video drivers I've installed (I followed too many tutorials on setting up my video drivers)
[09:06] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[09:06] <thisheregiraffe> Spaghetti_Knife: also, as somebody else mentioned.. frostwire isn't an ftp app.  if you need a graphical ftp client, try gftp.
[09:06] <dredhammer> how do i edit the properties of a video file?
[09:06] <Azul> oFF-beAt, what's the file type?
[09:06] <oFF-beAt> .mp3
[09:06] <JosefK> elyon: no :) if you put it there, you have to clean up the mess you left on the filesystem ^^
[09:07] <gaspipe> hey people
[09:07] <vakosel> my version is 6.06 and i used :  gksu "update-manager -c"  says my system is up to date  and i was supposed to see the upgrade manager. how come?
[09:07] <xiq> cruicent: external usb drives also take up scsi names, so if an external usb drive grabbed sda, your sata drive might get bumped to sdb..
[09:07] <elyon> JosefK:  lol great... no clue what to look for
[09:07] <JosefK> elyon: but it _will_ remove them from your xorg configuration at least
[09:07] <gaspipe> i have a noob q's
[09:07] <TtyS2> what cli command do i have to use to restart ath0
[09:07] <thisheregiraffe> oFF-beAt: look for the gstreamer "bad" and/or "ugly" plugins if you haven't installed them
[09:07] <gaspipe> i'm dl ubuntu and never worked linux b4
[09:07] <coNP> TtyS2: sudo ifdown ath0 && sudo ifup ath0
[09:07] <cruicent> no I meant the external was sata, internal are all ide
[09:07] <oFF-beAt> Azul, i have gstreamer installed.. shudn;t this solve the problem.. but still gives me plugin not found eddor.. or some other error
