[08:02] <t35t0r> how do i make a udev rule for multiple DIRECT-ACCESS USB or Firewire drives?
[08:02] <sk8az> can anyone help...  i tried all posts in forum... but i can't still get skype to work... i tried everything... an anyone help me in any way?
[08:02] <Rug> I have a nice custom bash prompt setup in my .bashrc but it doesn't seem to work.  what might I be doing wrong?  (Manually I can make it work by typing: (eg) PS1="custom bash here"
[08:03] <multimidia> takanakara, devoce
[08:03] <multimidia> pau em two
[08:03] <senjin> I instaled opendchub with synaptic and then i cant find the prog on the menu and i dont know were it is instalet and i wonder how do i start the prog?
[08:03] <multimidia> pikas no cess
[08:03] <harisund> Rug you might want to add it to your .bash_profile too.
[08:03] <NoUse> sk8az have you read the wiki howto?
[08:04] <sk8az> i think so
[08:04] <Rug> ahh, thanks
[08:04] <NoUse> !tell sk8az about skype
[08:04] <sk8az> it has something to do with the file
[08:04] <NoUse> sk8az something to do with the file.... could you be more specific?
[08:04] <harisund> Rug, if that doesn't work too, ensure you are logging into bash. Sometimes you might be logging into .sh and hence PS1 wouldn't response.
[08:04] <sk8az> i downloaded the file
[08:04] <Rug> nah it is bash
[08:05] <Rug> I already made sure of that
[08:05] <sk8az> i tried easyubuntu also, no mater what i did, everything exept skype worked
[08:05] <senjin> how do i start a prog that isent on the menu?
[08:05] <harisund> Rug: Ok Then I am guessing adding it to .bash_profile should work ..
[08:05] <saik0> senjin, Are sure thats a GUI prog?
[08:05] <Elazar> Anyone know why dragging-and-dropping in gftp doesn't seem to take? Is that not a feature?
[08:06] <t35t0r> do usb/firewire devices just work in ubuntu ?
[08:06] <Rug> I have to log-out for changes to take effect?
[08:06] <t35t0r> someone zip me up the entire /etc/udev rules and gimme
[08:06] <harisund> Rug I am guessing so
[08:06] <saik0> Elazar, you can use ftp through nautilus
[08:06] <Rug> bummer...  thanks for the tip
[08:06] <senjin> i first instaled the source then i found it in synatec and no i dont know if it is gui. i dont actualy got a to big grasp of gui either
[08:06] <Elazar> saik0: Thanks, I'll look into that then.
[08:07] <NoUse> sk8az can you provide any error mesages? anything that would give us a clue as to the nature of the problem? "Doesn't work" doesn't tell us much
[08:07] <eneried> hello
[08:08] <MonsieurBon> I'm trying to install gimp from source. the configure script gave this error: checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool
[08:08] <MonsieurBon> what do I do?
[08:08] <Rug> Enigma is great music to hack away at code to...
[08:08] <harisund> Rug could you get it to work?
[08:08] <AnsiC> after make
[08:08] <AnsiC> make install install_root=/home/user/new_root
[08:08] <AnsiC> is correct?
[08:08] <Rug> I can't logout.  =(   I've got 3 different projects on the go
[08:09] <saik0> senjin, open up a terminal and do 'man opendchub'
[08:09] <harisund> Rug, you could do ". .bash_profile" And you might change your prompt.
[08:09] <saik0> !tell senjin about cli
[08:09] <eneried> could you help me? i'v just installled ubuntu, and now i want to auntomount my fat32 partitions at boot time, but i want to have full access to them, ubuntu by default let them hidden from me T_T
[08:09] <Jimmey__> !cli
[08:09] <ubotu> CLI means Command Line Interface, aka the terminal or console. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BasicCommands or http://www.linuxcommand.org/ or http://www.tuxfiles.org
[08:09] <harisund> Rug, or you could ssh into your local box (ssh localhost) and see if you get the prompt you want.
[08:10] <saik0> !tell Jimmey__ about fishing
[08:10] <t35t0r> this is the stupidest thing ever ...i can't find any articles online to figure out how to setup udev to automount any direct-access usb or firewire device!!!
[08:10] <Rug> Har, I love that idea!
[08:10] <ice> did flash 8 come out for linux yet ?
[08:10] <ice> I need it
[08:10] <harisund> Rug, yeah... or you could use screen instead :)
[08:11] <saik0> ice, Macromedia )back when they were still Macromedia) said there will be no flash 8 for linux
[08:11] <ice> are you serious
[08:11] <Rug> no it isn't working....
[08:11] <ice> thats not cool
[08:11] <johnrork> HAHA!!!  Problem solved!
[08:11] <saik0> ice, Yes, they are "skipping" support for flash 8 and will be supporting flash 9
[08:11] <t35t0r> everywhere i look it always needs a SYSFS{model} ..well i don't know what model a user is going to come by with and stick into the machine ..i need a UNIVERSAL udev rule for all usb/firewire devices
[08:11] <NoUse> johnrork w00t
[08:11] <lucky_> bro~~~
[08:12] <saik0> ice, Flash 9 for win went into beta a couple days ago, so hopefuly it wont be long
[08:12] <eneried> hello?
[08:12] <rane_> why can't i login as root?
[08:12] <lucky_> this ubutu is someting gggggggggggoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood
[08:12] <lucky_> :D
[08:12] <rane_> !root
[08:12] <ubotu> Direct login as the root user is disabled in Ubuntu. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
[08:13] <eneried> please help me to configure my /etc/fstab file...
[08:13] <harisund> rane_ There is specifically no root account. All administrative activities are performed using the sudo command
[08:13] <sk8az> while installing skype i get :
[08:13] <sk8az>   Package libqt3-mt is not installed.
[08:13] <sk8az>   Package libqt3c102-mt is not installed.
[08:13] <sk8az>   , what should i do?
[08:13] <saik0> lucky_, we appreciate the sentiment, but this is a support channel.

[08:14] <takedown> Hi there, guys im updated from breezy to dapper and i have a problem with fglrx. Ok, i installed it via apt-get module was loading, but when i try to login with kdm i dont have 3d accelerate,but module is load. And if i run kde via startx all fine. Can anyone help me?
[08:14] <eneried> it seems nobody can read me
[08:15] <saik0> !tell takedown about dapper
[08:15] <sk8az> Seveas: how can i install those packedges?
[08:15] <Rug> eneried: can you be more specific about your problem?
[08:16] <khaladan> does Canonical have long-term viability? if they go away what happens to Ubuntu?
[08:16] <kronoz> well if they go away ubuntu dies ultimatley
[08:16] <khaladan> If I want to, can I recompile some packages, like apache, under ubuntu?
[08:16] <kronoz> but they don't seem to be going anywhere
[08:16] <eneried> Rug, i'm trying to automount  fat32 partitions, but i want full access, only rot can read tghem and cannot write :(
[08:16] <tonyyarusso> khaladan: The plan is to have Ubuntu be self-sufficient.  I don't know if it's there yet, but it should be soon.
[08:16] <kronoz> khaladan, yes, just install make, gcc et al
[08:17] <khaladan> and it won't mess up the package database or anything?
[08:17] <eneried> Rug, i'm trying to edit the fstab file, somebody does it before, but now i can't remember how :">
[08:17] <saik0> khaladan, you can download the source packages and recompile and install them
[08:17] <tonyyarusso> kronoz: You can get them all at once with the build-essential metapackage, btw.
[08:17] <kingspawn> eneried: mount it with options udask=0000 and fmask=0111
[08:17] <myleftfoot> hi, by default is gdm compiled with --enable-secureremote in ubuntu?
[08:18] <kingspawn> s/udask/umask
[08:18] <kingspawn> s/umask/dmask  <-- geez
[08:18] <eneried> thanks kingspawn, i'll try
[08:18] <kingspawn> Seveas: puh, needed
[08:19] <roy_> how can i get mo3 support in linux
[08:19] <kingspawn> !restrictedformats
[08:19] <ubotu> from memory, restrictedformats is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats Most of the formats listed here can be replaced by !FreeFormats
[08:19] <roy_> i am new to it
[08:19] <kingspawn> roy_: ^^^^

[08:20] <roy_> can anyone help me please
[08:20] <scifi> trying out gaim for the 1st time
[08:20] <Seveas> Rug, heh
[08:20] <kingspawn> roy_: read the link that ubotu just provided

[08:20] <Seveas> com4, known bug
[08:20] <Seveas> just wait for a fix
[08:20] <com4> Seveas: ok, thanks
[08:20] <saik0> !tell scifi about offtopic
[08:20] <eneried> kingspawn what's dmask?
[08:21] <kingspawn> eneried: mask applied to directories
[08:21] <roy_> ok thanks
[08:21] <eneried> ;)
[08:23] <eneried> kingspawn, what does umask=0000 and fmask=0111 means? it works :)
[08:23] <Jimmey__> saik0, I'm sorry
[08:24] <MM2> I wonder if MD5 sums are right for flight 6 i386 install packages? I got different MD5 hash.
[08:25] <kingspawn> eneried: they set permissions. the numbers are in octal
[08:25] <eneried> kingspawn, is it not better to say umask=0777?
[08:25] <gozz> will rhythmbox play shoutcast streams? i add the location to the .pls file but i cant get any of them to play?
[08:25] <Rug> What would it take to get sshd installed by default on Ubuntu?  I have a spare kidney that I'd be willing to part with (slightly pickled though) if ti helps.
[08:25] <eneried> kingspawn, but i don't understand what zeros means :(
[08:26] <_jason> Rug: why?
[08:26] <jimcooncat> Rug, I believe they wouldn't, no open ports policy
[08:26] <Rug> _jason: It's just my biggest (and only) pet-peeve about Ubuntu
[08:27] <Falc> Hi. I want to change my recently installed Ubuntu system so that X does not start at the beginning.
[08:27] <gozz> they play in totem on debian but totem wont work on ubuntu
[08:27] <_jason> Rug: but it only takes one command, not everyone wants to use ssh
[08:27] <Falc> I'd like it so that I have to start it manually- I do not want it uninstalled.
[08:27] <jimcooncat> Rug, hopefully they'll come through and make it easy to roll your own distro
[08:27] <HymnToLife> gozz> it does, you just need the right GStreamer plugins
[08:27] <Rug> hehe yes I know it's easy.
[08:27] <Jimmey__> Falc, try downloading BUM, maybe to can stop X from starting that way
[08:28] <kingspawn> eneried: 0000 means "everyone gets permissions"
[08:28] <gozz> i got the ones from apt-get
[08:28] <eneried> kingspawn, thanks ;)
[08:28] <Falc> Isn't there a configuration file or anything?
[08:28] <solan> hi, how do I update from Hoary to Breezy?
[08:28] <polpak> !upgrade
[08:28] <ubotu> Upgrading to Ubuntu 5.10 breezy -> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade. Upgrading to Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades .
[08:28] <Jimmey__> Falc, probably, I just don't know of it
[08:28] <solan> thx;)
[08:28] <Falc> Ahh, okay.
[08:28] <polpak> Falc, just uninstall or disable gdm
[08:29] <roy_> where do i type this sudo apt-get install  gstreamer0.8-mad for mpe format
[08:29] <HymnToLife> in a terminal
[08:29] <eneried> kingspawn, i set it in that way, but now i can't rename or modify files :(
[08:29] <_jason> roy_: applications > accessories > terminal
[08:29] <HymnToLife> aAlt+F2 > gnome-terminal
[08:29] <eneried> i canc opy and see
[08:29] <saik0> !tell Falc about wiki UbuntuBootupHowto
[08:29] <kingspawn> eneried: did you set umask or dmask?
[08:30] <roy_> oh i see thanks guys
[08:30] <eneried> i set "umask=0000,fmask=0000,dmask=0000"
[08:30] <Falc> How do I disable gdm?
[08:30] <kingspawn> eneried: dont set umask. and you can use fmask=000,dmask=000 (the forth digit isnt needed anymore)
[08:31] <_jason> Falc: system > administration > services, or man update-rc.d
[08:31] <roy_> it says it couldnt find the package
[08:31] <eneried> kingspawn, ok, i'll go and see :)
[08:31] <_jason> roy_: did you enable universe?

[08:39] <_jason> Falc: is this the user you created during install and is this an expert install?
[08:39] <eneried> kingspawn, i'm looking my fat32 partition, there are a desktop.ini file, that's hidden on wondows, but here is visible, and there's an image that is readonly but here not, can i use the fat32 settings?
[08:40] <Falc> This is an expert install.
[08:40] <kingspawn> eneried: i would imagine so
[08:40] <DBO> NikosGr, it means free publicity along the lines of "what the heck does dapper drake mean?"
[08:40] <acetech> anyone know why I cannot get my flash drive out of read only mode...?  I have tried mounting with umask=0000, tried chown and chmod
[08:40] <_jason> Falc: so you have a root password and can su to root?
[08:40] <definity> how come my ubuntu has gone all laggy when i first installed it it was quite fast now i installed kde for about 3 months and slowly its been getting worse and worse, any ideas on how to speed it up
[08:40] <saik0> !tell NikosGr about wiki DevelopmentCodeNames
[08:41] <eneried> kingspawn, but you don't know how
[08:41] <kingspawn> eneried: wasn't that what we just talked about with dmask and fmask?
[08:41] <Elazar> Using Synaptic to do a complete removal of gPHPEdit doesn't seem to have gotten rid of the option I get to open it in the menu that appears when I right-click on a file. Any ideas on how I can do that?
[08:41] <Bog_> I'm using the livecd, is it possible to use a usb key to save all my session information?
[08:41] <NikosGr> DBO: ?
[08:41] <Falc> _jason: Yep. Sure can/.
[08:41] <NikosGr> i didnt got that
[08:41] <_jason> ubotu: tell Falc about expert
[08:41] <DBO> NikosGr, it was a bad joke, ignore me
[08:42] <Bog_> so when I reboot the docs on my desktop are still there, and settings are preserved
[08:42] <NikosGr> :)
[08:42] <eneried> kingspawn, ah, sorry :(
[08:42] <scifi> hey guys, just installed gparted, but when i right -click on a partition the resize option is unavailable

[08:43] <ubotu> hmm... w32codecs is a compilation of binary win32 A/V codecs for many popular proprietary formats not currently supported by free implementations under linux. See http://tinyurl.com/e4a5s to install
[08:43] <_jason> mjschultz: mplayer with w32codecs I believe works
[08:43] <Elazar> I tried reinstalling it and doing a complete removal again to make sure that something odd didn't happen when I originally completely removed it, but the menu option is still there.
[08:43] <NoUse> mjschultz try mozilla-mplayer
[08:43] <_jason> ubotu: tell mjschultz about mplayer

[09:06] <_jason> sk8az: ha thought you were someone else, ignore me
[09:06] <Beru> BearKnuckle : try glxgears -iacknowledgethatthistoolisnotabenchmark

[09:11] <saik0> !tell ConfidentiaL, about nfs
[09:11] <eggzeck> err, unforcer: that was meant for another channel! Don't do that, it deletes all backup files in current dir
[09:11] <zelevw> ConfidentiaL: system, administration, shared folders
[09:12] <saik0> !tell ConfidentiaL about nfs
[09:12] <PuMpErNiCkLe> cpltnt303: Do you want the complete Ubuntu desktop + application set, or just a minimal Gnome install?
[09:12] <unforcer> eggzeck: yeah I know that :D

[09:12] <GazzaK> Hi folks, does anyone know a plt file viewer for ubuntu?  I have a need to open a documentname.plt file (plt is a plot file - a cad drawing)
[09:12] <cpltnt303> Pumper YEAH the full ....
[09:12] <NoUse> scifi yeah wine's mirror gets slow sometimes
[09:12] <unforcer> eggzeck: there are lots of n00bs here :D
[09:12] <unforcer> so please no "rm -rf / with sudo"
[09:12] <scifi> 42k now :)
[09:13] <PuMpErNiCkLe> cpltnt303: the command to do that is 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop'
[09:13] <eggzeck> unforcer: yeah, :)
[09:13] <nikos_> hi again
[09:13] <scifi> down to 84b/s now lol
[09:13] <nikos_> iam having major problems
[09:13] <nikos_> root@dell:/home/nikos/easyubuntu# gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:13] <nikos_> cannot open display: (null)
[09:13] <Dre> how do i install java on ubuntu?
[09:13] <cpltnt303> PuMpErNiCkLe u mean i dont need to download it ?
[09:13] <revAndrew> is there a way to change the name of a mounted hard drive on the desktop from the default "hda1" to another name such as "media"?
[09:13] <kingspawn> nikos_: nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:13] <Jowi> crimsun: hmm, looks like i need rep-gtk libglade wrapper. can't find any such thing in the repos.
[09:14] <cpltnt303> PuMpErNiCkLe just go into the terminal and input the command ?
[09:14] <PuMpErNiCkLe> cpltnt303: That command downloads everythign pre-packaged from the repository and installs it automatically.  Convenient, simple, safe. :)
[09:14] <scifi> revAndrew: not easily, i tried symlinks and a ntfsprogs, both had problems :P
[09:14] <nikos_> kingspawn: nano works but what happend to edit
[09:14] <nikos_> and what this cnnot find dipaly error iam getting?
[09:14] <cpltnt303> im maybe new to linux BUT DAMN thats awsume Q!@(*&!#@!

[09:16] <cpltnt303> PuMpErNiCkLe it says ubunto is already in full mode...
[09:16] <PuMpErNiCkLe> cpltnt303: Most 'desktop' linux distributions have a feature like that.  Ubuntu has apt-get, RedHat has Yum, Arch has Pacman, I forget what SuSe has but it's very similar.
[09:16] <Dre> thanks
[09:16] <nikos_> E: Malformed line 10 in source list /home/nikos/easyubuntu/conf/sources.list (URI)
[09:16] <nikos_> E: The list of sources could not be read.

[09:16] <nikos_> Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem.
[09:16] <cpltnt303> PuMpErNiCkLe thanks ... any hows ... it says i already have it ...

[09:19] <nikos_> ah +1
[09:20] <Keytwo> ciao a tutti
[09:20] <i3dmaster> how to config shortcuts in KDE?
[09:21] <cpltnt303> PuMpErNiCkLe btw i'm working with an old laptop is ubunto easy install would work smother ?
[09:21] <NoUse> i3dmaster when you drag a file, when you releae the file you get the option to make a link
[09:21] <scifi> NoUse: ok it downloaded and i assume installed
[09:21] <Keytwo> hey guys is there someone who have problem with gam_server?
[09:21] <NoUse> scifi cool
[09:22] <i3dmaster> NoUse, not for that, I want to config some shortcuts for launch apps
[09:22] <noppo> people, where can i change my Desktop manager from GNOME to fluxbox?
[09:22] <scifi> NoUse: now just looking for the CS howto
[09:22] <PuMpErNiCkLe> cpltnt303: Possibly easyubuntu could help.  There are some options you can set to optimize performance, too, and there's also Xubuntu, which is based on Xfce instead of Gnome, which makes it more lightweight.
[09:22] <NoUse> i3dmaster right-click -> create link to application
[09:23] <cpltnt303> PuMpErNiCkLe thanks
[09:23] <Profichilla> noppo: sudo apt-get install fluxbox and then just select it on login.
[09:23] <PuMpErNiCkLe> cpltnt303: np :)
[09:23] <noppo> ok, thx, gonna try
[09:24] <loststar4545> is a nvidia 5500 good enough to run ubuntu
[09:24] <i3dmaster> NoUse, well that is really not what I want. I thought there was a place to config keyboard shortcuts..
[09:24] <PuMpErNiCkLe> loststar4545: Definitely.
[09:25] <PuMpErNiCkLe> i3dmaster: like in System -> preferences -> keyboard shortcuts ?
[09:25] <noppo> didn't help
[09:25] <Keytwo> May I pose a question?
[09:25] <noppo> there was no menu to select the Window manager
[09:25] <i3dmaster> PuMpErNiC, let me take a look there
[09:25] <PuMpErNiCkLe> Keytwo: You already did.  You may, however, ask another. :)
[09:25] <NoUse> i3dmaster settings -> Accessibility
[09:26] <Keytwo> sure I do ^^: is there someone else (over me) who have problems with gam_server (gamin)?
[09:27] <Omeg> Hi all. My updater says that it is "Analysing" my system. Since I'm not running UK English as my Ubuntu language, shouldn't it be saying "Analyzing"?
[09:27] <jeff303> is there a quick way to find out the full path called by a command?  ex: I have multiple JREs installed and I want to know which is getting called by doing just "javac"?
[09:27] <Keytwo> It spreads out about 33% of my CPU time... -.-"
[09:27] <Keytwo> jeff303: which <command>
[09:28] <jeff303> Keytwo: I'd like to know in general, but in this specific case, javac
[09:28] <jeff303> Keytwo: since I have many "javac"s installed - sun, GCJ, etc.
[09:28] <noppo> jeff303, which javac
[09:28] <i3dmaster> NoUse, PuMpErNiC, sorry don't see those. Im using 3.5.2 and not familiar with it (was just off from gnome)
[09:28] <noppo> obviously
[09:28] <jeff303> noppo: that's what I'm trying to figure out
[09:28] <cpltnt303> I need Internet Explorer 6 Based browser in order to run a certain web site that dont work with Firefox ,What other options do i have for linux ?
[09:28] <Keytwo> try "ps aux" you'll have a complete list of tasks with the arguments passed
[09:28] <jeff303> noppo: I can always do javac -version or something but that doesn't answer my question in general
[09:29] <noppo> jeff303, type 'which javac' at the terminal
[09:29] <trainer> is there a keyboard shortcut for switching between workspaces?
[09:29] <jeff303> noppo: ooh ok
[09:29] <jeff303> noppo: perfect, thank you
[09:29] <noppo> jeff303, thank Keytwo
[09:29] <go1dfish> are the repositories dead?
[09:29] <cpltnt303> I need Internet Explorer 6 Based browser in order to run a certain web site that dont work with Firefox ,What other options do i have for linux ?
[09:29] <revAndrew> ubuntu is a debian derivitive, right? so if I want to install a program I download the debian version?
[09:30] <jeff303> Keytwo: thanks
[09:30] <damotor> hi
[09:30] <Keytwo> np ^^
[09:30] <noppo> :)
[09:30] <go1dfish> revAndrew: if there is no debian specific version that is generally your best bet
[09:30] <jeff303> cpltnt303: there is a way to install IE6 using Wine, I've done it before
[09:30] <go1dfish> err ubuntu* specific
[09:30] <NoUse> i3dmaster in the KMenu, there is a settings option
[09:30] <jeff303> cpltnt303: don't remember the specifics, though, sorry
[09:30] <jeff303> cpltnt303: I'm sure you can google it
[09:30] <damotor> do u know about a program to find coincidences between two images?
[09:30] <cpltnt303> what i s Wine ?
[09:30] <i3dmaster> ok, found it. Its under Regional & Accessibility -> Keyboard shortcuts
[09:30] <i3dmaster> thanks for help
[09:30] <patrick_king> how do i ssh in to my sql
[09:31] <noppo> could somebody PLEASE tell me how to change my Desktop manager - i would like to use fluxbox instead of GNOME
[09:31] <NoUse> !wine
[09:31] <scifi> NoUse: do i just type "wine" in terminal to run it for the first time?
[09:31] <noppo> !x
[09:31] <ubotu> I heard x is a portable, network-transparent window system.
[09:31] <noppo> !fluxbox
[09:31] <ubotu> hmm... fluxbox is a lightweight window manager.  Installation instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fluxbox.  More information at http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net
[09:31] <NoUse> scifi wine file.exe
[09:31] <Keytwo> patrick_king: ssh in your remote host then mysql
[09:31] <jeff303> cpltnt303: look at the first few hits for   "internet explorer" ubuntu    on google
[09:32] <loststar4545> how does fluxbox compare to gnome
[09:32] <patrick_king> i dont think i have ssh open how do i do this
[09:32] <noppo> loststar4545, that's what I'm trying to figure out by experimenting
[09:32] <jeff303> patrick_king: ssh username@server
[09:32] <jeff303> patrick_king: from the command line
[09:33] <loststar4545> i tried gnome and kde so far i prefer gnome
[09:33] <noppo> loststar4545, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fluxbox
[09:33] <runge> _jason, the ipod-fix-page worked very nicely. thanks very much!
[09:33] <_jason> runge: great
[09:33] <mzinz> I used to use Gnome exclusively, then I made the switch to KDE.  Do I still need Gnome installed? Is there a way to remove it, along with *most* of the gnome programs?
[09:33] <loststar4545> what do you guys use
[09:34] <_jason> anyone happen to know how to make openoffice writer update text so that it has 2 spaces after a period if it only has 1 now?
[09:34] <go1dfish> is anyone else having trouble updating?
[09:34] <noppo> loststar4545, the page says that fluxbox requires less RAM, but has less features than GNOME or KDE
[09:34] <PuMpErNiCkLe> _jason: search and replace ". " with ".  "
[09:34] <noppo> loststar4545, at the moment i'm using gnome, just because it was the default window manager for ubuntu
[09:34] <jeff303> PuMpErNiCkLe: lol
[09:34] <_jason> PuMpErNiCkLe: hehe yes thanks
[09:35] <PuMpErNiCkLe> np :)

[09:37] <runge> _jason, uhm.. ignore me while I go and beat my self
[09:38] <scifi> NoUse: did u do this transgaming activex control part, or just use the default activex that comes with firefox ?

[09:49] <scifi> NoUse: cant navigate to "/.wine/drive_c/Program Files" in terminal, can navigate to /.wine/drive_c/ but then it says cant find Program files directory ^^
[09:49] <NoUse> scifi you need to escape the space: cd Program\ Files
[09:50] <scifi> NoUse: i tried an * in the back and that worked :)
[09:50] <bkeating> is LVM volumes like.. "JOBOD config?"
[09:50] <bkeating> er.. *are* LVM volumes
[09:50] <immolo> jouellette, well you are wasting 9.6Gb but ram is being wasted somewhere
[09:50] <Jimmey__> Guys and Gals, I've followed the guide at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WindowsXPPrinter, but am still unable to send print jobs ( sucessfully ) to my HP Deskjet 810c
[09:50] <Jimmey__> Any ideas?
[09:51] <scifi> back = gap*
[09:51] <jouellette> yeah... I have tomcat and Eclipse running and it seems like java is using about 1.5 gb for it
[09:51] <immolo> ah java that explains all
[09:51] <jeff303> scifi: if you're trying to run a command from your terminal just use tab for all those messy wine autocompletions
[09:51] <jouellette> but it still doesn't explain why xorg is using so much
[09:51] <jeff303> scifi: makes it a breeze to navigate lovely Windows spaced directories  :-)
[09:52] <Hurin> Hello
[09:52] <immolo> jouellette, tryed running top?
[09:52] <jimcooncat> Jimmey__, are you sure XP has printer shared?
[09:52] <NoUse> jouellette does X use that much when it first starts, or does it grow?
[09:52] <jouellette> it grows...
[09:52] <immolo> see how much memory it is reallly using
[09:52] <jouellette> NoUse, you think it's a leak
[09:52] <scifi> jeff303: not sure what u mean but thx
[09:53] <jouellette> TOP says 2.5g
[09:53] <immolo> scifi, if you press the tab button it autocompletes the word
[09:53] <NoUse> jouellette possibly, I'd report it the xorg people, they would know if its a bug or not
[09:53] <Zoohouse> humm..
[09:54] <NoUse> jouellette there is a #xorg channel here
[09:55] <jeff303> scifi: just try pressing tab after you're typed part of the path, and if there is a unique completion, it will get filled in for you
[09:55] <jose> hello there can any one point me to a good page about wireless networking??
[09:55] <Hurin> I have the question about ethernet connection, if it's ok?
[09:56] <Jimmey__> jimcooncat, I'm sure, in the control panel, printers are shared..
[09:56] <jeff303> scifi: if there is more than one unique completion, pressing tab repeatedly will show you a list of all the possibilities
[09:56] <scifi> kewl thanks

[10:02] <DBO> what is the problem?
[10:02] <obscurite> Is perl/CPAN broken on breezy? I can't install perl modules properly as root or via sudo with perl -MCPAN -e

[10:03] <heero> :O
[10:04] <Zoohouse> Qucik question, I have ubuntu on sda and I want to install winxp on sdb. Prior to wanting to install win xp on sdb I had fedora on sda and ubuntu on sdb. Now when I pop in the winxp cd it says that there is no hard drives intalled on my computer... The same computer i am typing from.. What might it be? Does sdb need to be fat32 so that winxp would pick it up?
[10:04] <judah> disregard which is already disregarded.. dist-upgrade installed things without error. please move along.
[10:04] <jeff303> Zoohouse: I believe Windows insists on installing itself on the first partition
[10:04] <Jimmey__> Zoohouse, XP always wants to be on the first drive of your computer
[10:05] <parpic2002> hi
[10:05] <obscurite> nevermind, figure it out.
[10:05] <scifi> NoUse: steam installing now :O *crosses fingers*
[10:05] <Zoohouse> jeff303, Jimmey__ so I have to install winxp first? I tried to do it first but it wouldn't pick up the drives
[10:05] <sys8794> Zoohouse however if you wipe (fdsik and format) sdb and then your xp should see that section and install to it (in theory it should)
[10:05] <harisund> nikos_ I was just wondering about your question.
[10:05] <DBO> Zoohouse, SATA drives?
[10:05] <jeff303> Zoohouse: it's easist if you install Windows XP first on a clean drive (before any other partitions)
[10:05] <harisund> nikos_ What is /run ls supposed to be doing anyway?
[10:06] <harisund> You should have a script named ls for that, right?
[10:06] <Zoohouse> DBO, right, I have 2 SATA drives
[10:06] <DBO> Zoohouse, do you have the floppy disk your mobo came with?  You need that for windows to detect them
[10:06] <|lostbyte|> What gui tool you guys use to do wifi networking ?
[10:06] <Zoohouse> DBO, motherboard?
[10:07] <harisund> |lostbyte| I use the command line .. sorry :(
[10:07] <bungle> how do i install xfce
[10:07] <DBO> Zoohouse, yeah, its a big green (usually) thing with all the fancy doodads on it, usually comes with a driver disk for the SATA drives (floppy)
[10:07] <bungle> !xfce
[10:07] <ubotu> well, xfce is a lightweight Desktop Environment that uses GTK. to install, "sudo apt-get install xfce4" or "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop". http://www.xfce.org/
[10:07] <|lostbyte|> harisund: Ok ! i like the command line too.. =_
[10:08] <Zoohouse> DBO, ah ok, never heard someone call the M.B by mobo lol
[10:08] <Zoohouse> ok let me go check brb
[10:08] <DBO> really?
[10:08] <harisund> bungle for xfce, you can install a meta package "xubuntu-desktop", either through command line or through synaptic.
[10:08] <|lostbyte|> harisund: Q. How to set an essid for your card ?
[10:08] <immolo> iwconfig <iface> essid <insert essid here>
[10:09] <harisund> |lostbyte|, Assuming your wireless card is wlan0, I use the following command "sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode managed essid NameEssid key 12...."
[10:09] <harisund> |lostbyte| and then to get a IP address, I use "sudo dhclient wlan0" and that generally works for me.
[10:09] <|lostbyte|> immolo: harisund Hold on ! :S i was told by #wireless that that command is used to connect to the essid specified ? are you sure...
[10:10] <Zoohouse> DBO, can't find it in the box, let me check the site.
[10:10] <_jim_> im having problems with synaptic
[10:10] <harisund> |lostbyte| Yes, why do you ask? Was there a problem trying that out?
[10:10] <DBO> Zoohouse, what mobo?
[10:11] <immolo> |lostbyte|, not unless my linux box is so clever it can do things by itself
[10:11] <|lostbyte|> harisund: huh ? no, but my question was how i could set an essid for my card !
[10:11] <_jim_> i finally made it working , but when installing something i get this error every time : E: locales: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 4
[10:11] <CraiZE> hey, how can i convert my video files to the PSP format?
[10:11] <harisund> The command that immolo suggested. iwcofig <interface_name> essid <essid_name>
[10:11] <_jim_> what should i do ?
[10:11] <immolo> CraiZE, cvs ffmpeg
[10:11] <CraiZE> ah
[10:11] <|lostbyte|> immolo: My card does'nt have an essid as i found out through iwconfig.
[10:11] <CraiZE> immolo, you got a link
[10:12] <CraiZE> for me to get cvs ffmpeg?
[10:12] <harisund> |lostbyte| You will have to associate your card with a wireless access point. The command for that is the one that immolo gave.
[10:12] <immolo> CraiZE, not for the cvs on ubuntu but I know the windows version has been ported back to unix which gives better quailty
[10:12] <Oetmet> I have a Core Duo processor and I've read i got to download a kernel with SMP support
[10:13] <CraiZE> immolo, well i just want to convert it
[10:13] <CraiZE> you said cvs ffmpeg
[10:13] <Oetmet> can i download the regular kernel and enable SMP on it ?
[10:13] <CraiZE> but i cant do much with that info
[10:13] <CraiZE> :S
[10:13] <Oetmet> <IP_ADDRESS>
[10:13] <Oetmet> or do i have to download an special kernel
[10:13] <immolo> use cvs and download, configure/make
[10:13] <immolo> easy :P
[10:13] <CraiZE> oh my
[10:13] <CraiZE> can you link me
[10:14] <CraiZE> to the ffmpeg CVS ?
[10:14] <|lostbyte|> harisund: This is going over my head, Wait.. so your saying to get an essid for me(wlan0), i have to connect to the Access point.
[10:14] <immolo> use google
[10:14] <harisund> |lostbyte| ok let me walk you through this one.
[10:14] <CraiZE> k
[10:14] <_jim_> hey guys , please , can you help me when you can ?
[10:14] <gean> bye all ! may the spirit of ubuntu be with u !
[10:14] <_jim_> cya
[10:14] <|lostbyte|> harisund: :) ..
[10:14] <Zoohouse> DBO, can't find it on the asus site...
[10:15] <harisund> |lostbyte| You have a wireless router right? It creates a wireless network, with a name that you specify. That name is the essid.
[10:15] <DBO> Zoohouse, well, i promise it came with a floppy disk, they all do.  Ive never seen a SATA mobo that didnt
[10:15] <Zoohouse> I used gparted to make sdb fat32.. thought that would help
[10:15] <harisund> |lostbyte| The router acts as a access point, meaning other computers "access" the internet by connecting to the router.
[10:15] <DBO> Zoohouse, its not even picking up the drives right?
[10:15] <jeff303> Zoohouse: I think that what Linux calls /dev/hda1 needs to be FAT or NTFS
[10:15] <harisund> |lostbyte| So for your computer to wireless connect to the internet, you have to tell it what network it should connect to, right?
[10:16] <jeff303> Zoohouse: otherwise the dumb Microsoft installer will think there is nowhere to install Windows
[10:16] <DBO> jeff303, so long as the windows isntaller can pick up the drives, it can edit the partions regardless of their current state of formatting
[10:16] <DBO> (it might destroy the data, but it can do it)
[10:16] <|lostbyte|> harisund: yes.. ok
[10:16] <|lostbyte|> ok
[10:17] <harisund> |lostbyte| Your router might be the access point for a network called "lostbyte" .. your neighbour might have a wireless router that generates the network "neighbour"
[10:17] <Zoohouse> jeff303, oh?
[10:17] <|lostbyte|> harisund: k
[10:17] <harisund> |lostbyte| and so on..if you want to see a list of wireless networks that your wireless card can pick up, execute the command "iwlist wlan0 scan | grep ESSID"
[10:17] <Zoohouse> DBO, not picking any up. It tells me to try turning them on
[10:17] <harisund> |lostbyte| that command will list out all the networks that your wireless card can see (which are generally the networks around your house...)
[10:18] <|lostbyte|> harisund: k
[10:18] <DBO> Zoohouse, yeah, you need that floppy disk.  It will say RAID drivers or something of that sort
[10:18] <harisund> |lostbyte| Now you need to tell your wireless card what network to connect to. In other words, you need to tell it what "access point" to connect to. right?
[10:18] <Zoohouse> ill look agin
[10:18] <|lostbyte|> harisund: yes..
[10:18] <DBO> Zoohouse, when windows installer is just starting it will ask you to press F6 at some point, you do that, then later down the road it will ask for that floppy
[10:18] <harisund> |lostbyte| That is, if you remember the ESSID. So you first tell it the name of the essid.
[10:18] <|lostbyte|> harisund: ok
[10:19] <harisund> |lostbyte| the syntax for that is "iwconfig wlan0 essid lostbyte"
[10:19] <harisund> "iwconfig" calls the wireless- configuration program. wlan0 is the "code-word" for your wireless card (it could be different.) essid is the command for it, and lostbyte is the name of the network it should join.
[10:19] <|lostbyte|> harisund: got it.. and if another pc scans what will it display as my name ?
[10:20] <Stormchaser> 'lo... Where can I find Drapper repository (want to upgrade my ubuntu)
[10:20] <kbrooks> How do I find out my CD drive speed?
[10:20] <harisund> You mean if somebody else is trying to access your wireless?
[10:20] <|lostbyte|> harisund: so the router is in adhoc mode and i am in managed..
[10:20] <Stormchaser> kbrooks: o.O
[10:20] <guerra> anyone programs in fortran therE?
[10:20] <Zoohouse> DBO, doesn't ask me for a floppy...
[10:20] <kbrooks> Stormchaser: ?
[10:20] <Zoohouse> unless i didn't see it
[10:21] <harisund> lostbyte: I am not sure what adhoc mode is, but generally wireless routers are not in ad hoc mode (atleast not by default) .. I think you have to make sure the router is also in managed mode only.
[10:21] <Stormchaser> kbrooks: Um... That should be written on the CD itself...
[10:21] <DBO> Zoohouse, at the VERY beginning there will be a part where at the bottom it will say "press F6 if you need to install additional drivers" or something to that effect
[10:21] <kbrooks> Stormchaser: "CD drive speed"
[10:21] <DBO> you press F6 then, and then it will ask you for a floppy about 10 minutes later
[10:22] <ccc_> Stormchaser: just change 'breezy' to 'dapper' (not drapper :) ) in your /etc/apt/sources.list and run apt-get update and then apt-get dist-upgrade
[10:22] <kbrooks> Stormchaser: on the cd? i havent heard of such a CD that shows that
[10:22] <harisund> |lostbyte| but yes, by executing "iwconfig wlan0 mode managed" you ask your wireless card to be in managed mode.
[10:22] <Zoohouse> DBO, i might have overlooked that
[10:22] <|lostbyte|> harisund: ok ! i understand now..
[10:22] <|lostbyte|> harisund: Is it easy to set the pc to adhoc mode ?
[10:22] <Oetmet> I have a core duo processor... and have read i have to download a SMP enabled kernel.. is this the same than downloading the regular kernel and enabling SMP support?
[10:22] <Oetmet> o
[10:22] <Oetmet> or i just have to apt-get the smp kernel
[10:23] <kbrooks> Oetmet: apt-get it
[10:23] <harisund> |lostbyte| I think so, but I don't know the command for that. If you want your wireless router to broadcast IP address, and you are using it to connect to the internet, you need managed mode.
[10:23] <Oetmet> kbrooks: ok but once i download it, it will boot as the default kernel?
[10:23] <Oetmet> or what?
[10:23] <_jim_> hey guys , i cant run some tools like synaptic by Gnome
[10:23] <moparfan90> hello. does anyone know if theres a channel for openbox?
[10:23] <|lostbyte|> harisund: Alright.. ok..
[10:23] <_jason> _jim_: what happens when you try?
[10:23] <kbrooks> Oetmet: it will show as a entry in grub
[10:23] <harisund> |lostbyte| I think ad hoc mode is more of a device-device connection, kind of temporary, stuff like blue tooth etc .. typically for multiplayer gaming (atleast that['s what wikipedia says)
[10:23] <_jim_> it aint running
[10:23] <_jim_> nothing happens
[10:23] <kbrooks> Oetmet: apt-get will install it for you
[10:24] <_jim_> its like it trying to load it
[10:24] <_jason> _jim_: what does 'sudo echo hi' do in a terminal?
[10:24] <|lostbyte|> harisund: Makes sence now..
[10:24] <Oetmet> linux-686-smp is ok for Core Duo's ?
[10:24] <|lostbyte|> harisund: thanks so much..
[10:24] <_jim_> it does nothing
[10:24] <_jim_> run as root ?
[10:24] <Oetmet> it says PIV, when I thought Core Duos are like PVII
[10:24] <Oetmet> heh
[10:24] <harisund> |lostbyte| Of course, it doesn't end there. Once you have set your wireless card parameters, you will need to instruct the wireless card to ask the router for an IP address.
[10:24] <_jason> _jim_: paste the output as 'groups' please
[10:24] <harisund> |lostbyte| which is done using the "sudo dhclient wlan0" command. Get it?
[10:24] <_jason> _jim_: s/as/of
[10:25] <|lostbyte|> harisund: What if i am not using dhcp..
[10:25] <_jim_> jason sorry im not getting u
[10:25] <_jason> _jim_: type 'groups', it is a command.  Then copy and paste the output so we can see it
[10:25] <harisund> |lostbyte| Hmm.... How are you connecting to your router?
[10:25] <_jim_> ok , by root ?
[10:25] <_jason> _jim_: no, no root
[10:25] <_jim_> jimoupas@10:~$ groups
[10:25] <_jim_> jimoupas adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev lpadmin scanner
[10:26] <|lostbyte|> harisund: oh.. ok ok.. got you.. but if i keep a static ip for my router..
[10:26] <_jason> _jim_: is this the first user created during install?
[10:26] <sambagirl> did seveas quit ubuntu? like bob2?
[10:26] <mwe> no admin there
[10:26] <_jim_> yes
[10:26] <|lostbyte|> harisund: then i dont have to do the dhclient.
[10:26] <_jason> _jim_: did you do an expert install?
[10:26] <harisund> |lostbyte| What exactly do you mean "static IP for my router"?
[10:26] <_jim_> yes
[10:26] <sambagirl> sirkillalot you played ET yes?
[10:26] <_jason> ubotu: tell _jim_ about expert
[10:26] <harisund> |lostbyte| With wireless the general practice is dhcp only. If you want your machine to have a static IP, you set that in the router/
[10:26] <Seveas> sambagirl, no
[10:27] <|lostbyte|> harisund: If i turn off dhcp on my router.. that is..
[10:27] <sambagirl> ohh hello seveas
[10:27] <|lostbyte|> harisund: ok
[10:27] <Seveas> sambagirl, I'm just very busy with bugs
[10:27] <harisund> |lostbyte| If you turn off the DHCP in your router.. hmmm.. I am not sure if it would work.. you could try .. never tried that before.
[10:27] <_jim_> _jason run this as root ?
[10:27] <Oetmet> Anyone using a Core Duo processor on Linux?
[10:27] <_jason> _jim_: yes
[10:27] <sambagirl> well you better get some bug spray and go to hospital fast for protection and i would avoid those types of associations too ;).
[10:28] <_jim_> _jason god bless you man!
[10:28] <jason> thanks?
[10:29] <sambagirl> is seveas a programmer for ubuntu?
[10:29] <MM2> I hate this: dapper installer installed a system with no user accounts. I rebootet to maintenache-mode and added password to root and an account. But things are wrong...
[10:29] <sambagirl> is there anything really really super exciting coming up for the next release of Ubuntu?
[10:29] <Seveas> sambagirl, not really, I write occasional patches and have made a few packages
[10:30] <Zoohouse> DBO,  VIA VT8237 SATA RAID 64-bit driver v4.30C (WHQL). Thats it?
[10:30] <jason> can you do a remote conection between a windows and  inux machine?
[10:30] <_jim_> _jason , i tried to install something by synaptic but im getting this error : E: locales: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 4
[10:30] <kbrooks> sambagirl: seveas doesnt really code
[10:30] <kbrooks> Seveas: few? don't you mean many?
[10:30] <sambagirl> well who is the leader for Ubuntu?
[10:30] <kbrooks> leader?
[10:30] <kingspawn> hey, anyone know of a program that probes my videocard's clockcycles and outputs them to me?
[10:31] <_jason> _jim_: what are you trying to install? does that happen with other things?
[10:31] <kbrooks> sambagirl: well, if you want our SABDFL:
[10:31] <kbrooks> !sabdfl
[10:31] <ubotu> sabdfl is probably Mark Shuttleworth, cosmonaut and founder of Canonical and Ubuntu
[10:31] <Seveas> kbrooks, one package so far which is in ubuntu, and some pathces landed in Ubuntu too
[10:31] <_jim_> _jason yeah with everything im trying to install
[10:31] <harisund> That's interesting, we have both a _jason and a jason. Anyway, jason from which machine are you trying to connect to which machine?
[10:31] <_jim_> i cant even update my ubuntu
[10:32] <sambagirl> well i received a box of cd's for different platforms and it had to be from the leader of Ubuntu. I wonder how they can afford to send from Europa this box of 20 cd's atleast? i did give out to my friends them tho.
[10:32] <_jason> _jim_: taking a shot in the dark: dpkg-reconfigure locales
[10:32] <kbrooks> sambagirl: it was not from him alone
[10:32] <sambagirl> ahh ok
[10:32] <_jim_> as root ?
[10:32] <kbrooks> sambagirl: it was from canonical
[10:32] <sambagirl>  a covenant
[10:32] <mDot> sambagirl and its shipped out of south america
[10:32] <sambagirl> wow
[10:32] <kbrooks> mDot: incorrect
[10:32] <_jim_> yes...
[10:33] <kbrooks> mDot: south america
[10:33] <scifi> NoUse: u here m8?
[10:33] <mDot> and if you order 1 or 100 is cost the company the same
[10:33] <kbrooks> er
[10:33] <kbrooks> mDot: south africa
[10:33] <_jim_> _jason /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: locales is broken or not fully installed
[10:33] <sambagirl> this is so much more thrilling then anything that windows does.
[10:33] <mDot> kbrooks must be time for my nap =P
[10:33] <_jim_> :*-(
[10:33] <ziut> siemka!
[10:33] <sambagirl> there needs to be some commercials on the media to make it even more popular. imagine if there were 10 million users in this channel right now asking for support :D.
[10:34] <mDot> sambagirl scary though
[10:34] <jimcooncat> sambagirl, hopefully there'd be another channel
[10:34] <_jim_> is there a way to fix locales ?
[10:34] <ziut> sorry #ubuntu.pl not #ubuntu
[10:35] <_jason> _jim_: not sure what to suggest, sorry
[10:35] <gnomefreak> _jim_, sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales i think is the command
[10:35] <sambagirl> who ever organized the whole ubuntu structure is very international in thinking...global.
[10:35] <gnomefreak> or use the language menu option
[10:36] <_jim_> same problem ...... it saying its broken
[10:36] <harisund> sambagirl, indeed.. I wonder whether any poll has been conducted to find out the localities of Ubuntu users ... and find out whethere there is a concentration in any particular country.
[10:36] <scifi> when i start steam, the login box appears, i can see the boxes but there is no words on anything, anyone else have the same problem ?
[10:36] <sambagirl> is there a plan for a big ubuntu users party or conference or like what they do for Amiga computer? something humungous? something in maybe the french riviera or Rio or Maui?
[10:37] <jimcooncat> where was the last one, Toronto?
[10:37] <OffHand> harisund, there are
[10:37] <jimcooncat> I like your venues better
[10:37] <harisund> OffHand yeah I would expect that ..
[10:37] <Zoohouse> DBO, still there?
[10:37] <OffHand> I can confirm it
[10:38] <OffHand> it's somewhere on the forums
[10:38] <sambagirl> well harisund i think that all users should make an effort to make local user groups and this is how you can learn this otherwise the only other way i can think if there is a web counter that stores the ip for dowloads from the website and maintining the distribution regions you could get close in determining that.
[10:39] <harisund> OffHand, on the forums, ah yes ! most likely .. sambagirl, that's true.. you will need a counter .. and perhaps some mechanism to count only unique IP addresses...
[10:39] <sambagirl> now i am curious to know if there is any report by any major corporations as to whether they are using ubuntu in testing for deploykents in their various operations?
[10:40] <d3v> hello, I've got a little problem with the Live CD with the error "[!!]  Enter preinstalled session" when it is booting up and the CD check said "./casper/filesystem.cloop file failed to MD5 checksum" does anybody know how I could solve this? I have burnt a second downloaded iso and the exact same happened
[10:40] <gnomefreak> sambagirl, your best bet is to ask in #ubuntu-offtopic this is a support channel
[10:40] <sambagirl> well i am sure that the website is already maintining raw data on downloads etc..
[10:40] <kbrooks> sambagirl: please
[10:40] <kgrimm_> how do i disable gdm/xdm so a server is not wasting resources?
[10:40] <sambagirl> they dont talk abbout anytthing interesting in there.
[10:40] <sambagirl> ok
[10:40] <sambagirl> ok
[10:40] <kbrooks> sambagirl: not a excuse
[10:41] <OffHand> d3v, did you do a md5sum on the iso?
[10:41] <kbrooks> sambagirl: START a topic
[10:41] <_jim_> please , anyone knows how i can fix my locales ? it says its broken
[10:41] <mnemnonic> I need to count files that are in all subtrees of a directory, has anyone an idea how to do that? (console)
[10:41] <d3v> i did a md5 check thing on the one i downloaded (from ubuntu) and it came up correct
[10:41] <ljl> mnemnonic: find | wc -l
[10:41] <simonpca> ++
[10:42] <OffHand> how fast did you burn it d3v?
[10:42] <ljl> mnemnonic: you might want to refine that to avoid counting directories, and stuff like that (man find)
[10:42] <scifi> anyone know how to install tahoma.tff font for steam in ubuntu ?
[10:42] <d3v> first time very fast 2nd i took advice on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=123440 and did it at x8
[10:42] <mnemnonic> ljl: Aren't there blank lines in the output?
[10:43] <harisund> nalioth: exactly ..
[10:43] <OffHand> hmmm
[10:43] <ljl> mnemnonic: no, 'find' is supposed to just output a newline-separated list of files/directories, no blanks
[10:43] <mnemnonic> ljl: Ok, thx
[10:44] <nalioth> harisund: hmm?
[10:44] <fid> is there a way to configure the grub boot loader to default to windows?
[10:44] <harisund> nalioth: wrong window. I meant to type that in the offtopic channel, regarding the process-quitting in Windows.
[10:44] <gnomefreak> !grub
[10:44] <ubotu> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/GrubHowto or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows or troubleshooting grub: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Troubleshooting
[10:44] <ljl> mnemnonic: the way to make it avoid counting directories too would be "find -type f | wc -l"
[10:45] <nicolito> hello, can anyone help me?? When I plug a NTFS formatted USB disk it is write protected, and I cannot save anything on it (nor change the propierties)
[10:45] <ljl> nicolito: you can not and should not save to ntfs from linux
[10:45] <_jason> nicolito: linux can't safely write to ntfs
[10:45] <mathieu> correction: there are no _free_ drivers that can safely write ntfs
[10:45] <nicolito> ljl, _jason... why?????
[10:46] <_jason> nicolito: microsoft doesn't disclose the specifications for ntfs so people can't write in support for it
[10:46] <Hattori> i'm experiencing this problem after the apt-get update/upgrade... how to solve please? http://pastebin.com/683195
[10:46] <Hattori> followed https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ApacheMySQLPHP but still got same problem
[10:46] <ljl> nicolito: because write support is extremely flaky (basically, there is none) --- i think the reason for that is mostly lack of open specifications
[10:46] <nicolito> _jason, so no way to use this USB DISK???
[10:46] <_jason> nicolito: format it as something else
[10:46] <mnemnonic> ljl: Counting directories is ok for my particular problem ... trying to figure out how many inodes I need to copy lot's of files from a cd ;)
[10:47] <_jason> nicolito: fat is good since both widnows and linux can write to it
[10:47] <mathieu> but fat itself is crap
[10:47] <ljl> _jason: yeah, unfortunately it's bad for a few other reasons
[10:47] <nicolito> _jason ok, thanks very much for your help
[10:47] <nicolito> thanks very much LJL
[10:47] <mcmillen> anyone know of a good way to make GNOME not look like KDE after logging in to KDE once? i seem to be stuck with KDE's blue highlights, even though i'm using the ubuntu "Human" theme in GNOME (this is on Dapper Beta)
[10:48] <_jason> ljl: yeah for transfering docs on a usb disk i think it's the best option though
[10:48] <IncipitFinis> whats up all
[10:48] <ljl> _jason: agreed - unfortunately
[10:49] <IncipitFinis> Ok, this is really noobish, but how do I get a p2p program running on ubuntu?
[10:49] <_jason> !p2p
[10:49] <ubotu> p2p is probably https://wiki.ubuntu.com/P2PHowTo
[10:49] <ljl> _jason: ext2 might also be an option... there is more than one ext2 driver for Windows, some with write support... would be interesting to investigate how robust they are
[10:49] <IncipitFinis> oic
[10:49] <IncipitFinis> thanks
[10:49] <scifi> anyone know how to install tahoma.ttf font for steam in ubuntu ?
[10:49] <zyth> be a real man and use HPFS.
[10:49] <zyth> os/2 4 ever!
[10:49] <zyth> :P
[10:50] <HymnToLife> ljl> Ext2Fsd works pretty wel for read/write
[10:50] <_jason> ljl: they seem to work well, if you are allowed to install the driver on the windows computers you use that is :)
[10:50] <IncipitFinis> what about wine?
[10:50] <IncipitFinis> how do I install wine, I mean lol
[10:50] <bluefoxicy2> Hey guys I'm trying to merge an SQLDump into a new MySQL 4.1 install on Breezy, did nothing but install, ideas?
[10:51] <ljl> _jason: yes, of course... if what we're talking about is a standard USB key that one uses to load stuff to/from other people's computers, then FAT is definitely the only real option
[10:51] <bluefoxicy2> (too lazy to google)
[10:51] <bluefoxicy2> is this gonna be more than 1 command
[10:51] <mathieu> bluefoxicy2: IT DON'T WORK!!!111 HELP MEE!!11!!
[10:52] <bluefoxicy2> mathieu, I'm asking questions, not answering, try me later
[10:52] <mathieu> i hope that's irony
[10:52] <Mactel>  :)
[10:53] <Mactel> :D
[10:53] <kingspawn> oh, that was just precious
[10:53] <kingspawn> fantastic
[10:54] <mzinz> I used to use Gnome exclusively, then I made the switch to KDE.  Do I still need Gnome installed? Is there a way to remove it, along with *most* of the gnome programs?
[10:55] <ljl> mzinz: you could remove libgnome, that would sweep almost everything away
[10:55] <HymnToLife> mzinz> try removing a "core" GNOME app like Evolution or Nautilus
[10:55] <IncipitFinis> can you install kde from gnome?
[10:55] <linux_drive> hi ............
[10:55] <ljl> IncipitFinis: of course
[10:55] <mzinz> ljl: would it remove the actual gnome desktop *and* the applications?
[10:55] <Mactel> mzinz: In terminal, type sudo apt-get remove libgnome. :)
[10:55] <_jim_> please , anyone knows how i can fix my locales ? it says its broken
[10:56] <zyth> IncipitFinis, sure
[10:56] <mwe> mzinz: sudo apt-get --purge remove libgnome32 libgnome2-common
[10:56] <ljl> mzinz: it would remove everything that depends on the gnome libraries... so yes, mostly
[10:56] <ljl> mzinz: might leave some GTK-only apps, like perhaps the GIMP, but those are not really Gnome apps anyway and you might want to keep them
[10:56] <mzinz> ljl: thats what i was hoping
[10:57] <mwe> mzinz: that works, I did it. then remove the rest if anything is left in aptitude
[10:57] <mzinz> mwe: thank u
[10:57] <DaSkreec1> can I hold a package in Ubuntu?
[10:57] <DaSkreec1> Or rather in apt?
[10:57] <ljl> mzinz: after that, you could do a "dpkg -l | grep ii | grep gnome" too check if any libraries are left installed
[10:57] <relbs> anyone know how to prevent gnome-cups-icon from starting up with a gnome login session?
[10:57] <odyssey12386> hello
[10:57] <moparfan90> does anyone here use openbox?
[10:58] <Zoohouse> jeff303, I can't find the drivers for sata :(
[10:58] <mwe> Daskreec1: yes. I'm not that familiar with synaptic but in aptitude it's straight forward
[10:58] <Daskreec1> mwe: Ah. ok So it's client based?
[10:58] <Zoohouse> jeff303, you think it is the lack of driver the problem?
[10:59] <scifi> anyone know how to install tahoma.ttf font for steam in ubuntu ?
[10:59] <fiendskull9> scifi, lol. yeah man, hold on
[10:59] <kgrimm_> how do i disable gdm/xdm at startup so a server is not wasting resources?
[11:00] <mzuverink> If I want to go back from dapper to breezy, can I not format the drive that contains only /home and format the the other drive that contains / and not have issues in Breezy?
[11:00] <vr_> how do i force apt-get to say "yes" without my interaction?
[11:00] <_jason> kgrimm_: system > administration > services, or man update-rc.d
[11:00] <fiendskull9> scifi, dont use easy-ubuntu, or automatix, they install it in a werid folder wine doesnt reconize
[11:00] <Pluk> kgrimm_, sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove
[11:00] <ljl> vr_: "apt-get -y"
[11:00] <mathieu> kgrimm_: remove gdm and xdm?
[11:00] <vr_> ljl: thanks
[11:00] <ljl> vr_: or the verbose version of the same option, "apt-get --assume-yes"
[11:01] <vr_> ljl: great. how about incorporating a password? is it anything like sudo apt-get -p password ?
[11:01] <mwe> kgrimm_: or use rcconf
[11:01] <scifi> fiendskull9: ive not tried easy-ubuntu or automatix. i gathered ive got to download the core fonts and install them, but im not sure exactly which files i need and HOW to install them
[11:01] <ljl> vr_: note that, in some situations that apt-get considers particularly sensitive, that option will simply make apt-get abort
[11:01] <vr_> i see
[11:01] <ljl> vr_: a password for what?
[11:02] <vr_> ljl: for sudo operations
[11:02] <kgrimm_> thanks
[11:02] <fiendskull9> scifi, are you nickserved?
[11:02] <mzuverink> _jason: That Open Office problem with the buttons disappearing returned again in my Dapper install, it returned right after i installed Kubuntu-desktop.
[11:02] <ljl> vr_: can't think of a way right now, but anyway, i *would not* do anything like that
[11:03] <_jason> mzuverink: maybe you can check to see if it has been reported as a bug, and you might want to report it yourself if you can recreate it
[11:03] <ljl> vr_: what is it that you're trying to accomplish? perhaps it can be "taken sideways"
[11:03] <fiendskull9> scifi, look for my dialog window in your bottom bar of xchat
[11:03] <scifi> fiendskull9: if u mean is my nick registered then no :P
[11:03] <_jim_> fiendskull9 i need some help to install fonts too :)
[11:03] <scifi> fiendskull9: im using gaim and yes i replied as "andyt"
[11:03] <vr_> ljl: im trying to make this huge "alias" for bash that installs everything for me. kind of like a script.
[11:03] <vr_> for a fresh install
[11:03] <vr_> i wanted to make it unattended.
[11:04] <fiendskull9> _jim_, and scifi - join #skachat real quick.....
[11:04] <mzuverink> _jason: it has hapened twice now with a kubuntu install, plus all the window notification buttons on my bottom panel get a odd baby blue tint to them as well
[11:04] <momo3> http://israel.275mb.com/index2.php  <- - -
[11:04] <blindx> heyyy can someone help me set up a wired network connection? i tried both DHCP and Static, but I'm not getting anything.
[11:04] <ljl> vr_: well, can't you write a script, and then run the *whole* script from sudo? you'd only have to type the password once, at the beginning, and then go away and drink coffee
[11:05] <vr_> ljl: yes, you're right. i got it now, thank you
[11:05] <teo> hi there! :)
[11:07] <ljl> vr_: now, i suppose you could make that script suid root, too, so that you'd have to type no password at all... but that's a *huge* security issue
[11:08] <vr_> true
[11:08] <vr_> i'll leave it as is
[11:09] <ingwe> hi
[11:10] <ubuntu> #kielce
[11:10] <Sodium> is there any progress on macromedia developing shockwave for us?
[11:11] <mwe> I don't think so

[11:12] <kevor> Hi, what repository do i need to add to get mplayer?
[11:13] <mwe> universe
[11:13] <FunnyLookinHat> Has anyone here used Ubuntu with a bluetooth mouse?
[11:13] <_jason> kevor: multiverse
[11:13] <OffHand> lol
[11:13] <mwe> oh yes
[11:13] <_jason> ubotu: tell kevor about mplayer
[11:13] <mwe> multiverse ...
[11:13] <kevor> i got those commented out repossies enabled, but still no mplayer
[11:13] <_jason> mwe: although why multiverse and not universe, I have no clue
[11:13] <_jason> kevor: you need to actually add multiverse, it's not in the comments
[11:14] <_jason> ubotu: tell kevor about sources
[11:14] <kevor> oooh, ok :D
[11:14] <gnomefreak> sounds like he has backports enabled
[11:14] <kevor> _jason: what line do i need to add multithingy to?
[11:14] <_jason> kevor: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list and I can tell you
[11:14] <_jason> !pastebin
[11:14] <ubotu> somebody said pastebin was http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/, a site for pasting long texts so you don't disrupt the channel - or install webboard in Gnome: http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1269
[11:15] <mcmillen> any idea why, after upgrading to dapper beta, that a bittorrent tracker is started at bootup?
[11:15] <gnomefreak> kevor, on the lines that start with the word deb and end with the word universe put a space after universe and add the word multiverse
[11:15] <_jason> mcmillen: #ubuntu+1 please for dapper
[11:15] <dracflamloc> hello
[11:15] <kevor> gnomefreak: also lines that end on restricted?
[11:16] <dracflamloc> where are samba shares mounted in ubuntu when i use the "connect to server" item int he places menu
[11:16] <gnomefreak> kevor, the lines that end with universe
[11:16] <kevor> ok sorry, did that, let's try
[11:16] <kevor> Works, /me hugs gnomefreak
[11:16] <kevor> thank you for you quick and powerful help :P
[11:17] <gnomefreak> anytime ;)
[11:17] <alpha-one> hi all, i have a problem with my starting (login) screen. when i start gnome a black window appears (called login or screen manager or something like that) and prompts me for a user and a pw which is noch my regular one
[11:17] <kevor> gnomefreak: can't install it because it deps on some files, do you know what that is about?
[11:17] <Eduardo_> Boa tarde
[11:18] <gnomefreak> kevor, sudo apt-get update
[11:18] <Eduardo_> Algum do Brasil?
[11:18] <_jason> !br
[11:18] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br (/j #ubuntu-br) para ajuda em portugues. Obrigada.
[11:18] <kevor> did that
[11:18] <dracflamloc> does anyone know where samba shares are mounted ubuntu?
[11:18] <_jason> kevor: what does it say is missing?
[11:19] <kevor> yes it says the follow packages have unmet deps: mpalyer-568. depends: libfaad2-0 libflame0 libxvidcore4
[11:19] <gnomefreak> kevor, paste full error on pastebin if you can
[11:19] <_jason> !info libfaad2-0
[11:19] <ubotu> libfaad2-0: (freeware Advanced Audio Decoder - runtime files), section multiverse/libs, is optional. Version: 2.0.0+cvs20040908+mp4v2+bmp-0ubuntu2 (breezy), Packaged size: 193 kB, Installed size: 544 kB
[11:19] <gnomefreak> kevor, sudo aptitude install mplayer-586
[11:19] <gnomefreak> kevor, if your using 586 arch
[11:19] <gnomefreak> libfaad is needed oh yeah i guess it would be
[11:19] <alpha-one> can anyone help me with my login problem ?
[11:20] <_jason> kevor: sources.list > pastebin :)
[11:20] <kevor> gnomefreak: did exactly this: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install mplayer-586 (p4 here, so that's the good one)
[11:20] <kevor> yes _jason :)
[11:20] <kevor> url of pastebin? :$

[11:20] <dracflamloc> hi
[11:20] <ebbhead> I need to change from utf-8 to sv_SE.iso8859-1 ..  dpkg-reconfigure locales is somewhat "broken" in dapper flight 6..  anyone know anything aobut this ?
[11:20] <mwe> _jason: I think mplayer is in multiverse because of the license though I'm not into the details
[11:20] <gnomefreak> kevor, than install libfaad   use instructions on !restricted  lets see errors first
[11:20] <_jim_> ebbhead im getting same error on 5.10
[11:21] <ebbhead> oK
[11:21] <gnomefreak> ebbhead, try #ubuntu+1 for dapper and filght 6 you shouldnt have installed
[11:21] <_jim_> it says its broken ..
[11:21] <ebbhead> gnomefreak .. OK . thanks. What do you mean about nog having installed flight 6 ?
[11:22] <mwe> _jason: but then again isn't it GPL'ed ?
[11:22] <kevor> gnomefreak, _jason  pastebinned it
[11:22] <gnomefreak> ebbhead, once its installed you run apt-get upgrade or do your updates and you are pushed to newest version of packages
[11:22] <gnomefreak> kevor, can you paste the link in here
[11:22] <_jason> mwe: yeah, my guess is they get support for some things by using stuff that isn't gpl'd
[11:22] <ebbhead> gnomefreak: .. yes, that's the GOOD part.
[11:22] <kevor> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12941
[11:23] <gnomefreak> ebbhead, so if your updated you can leave off the flight 6
[11:23] <mwe> _jason: maybe so
[11:23] <_jason> kevor: you missed some lines 41 and 42 on the pastebin
[11:23] <moparfan90> im trying to install a python file and i get a error saying /makefile cannot be found
[11:23] <selmanj> Question:  I'm having trouble installing Ubuntu onto my Pentium 4 hyperthreading system.  It will boot from cd, then it seems to freeze at the keyboard selection.  As far as I can tell, the keyboard and mouse both freeze after it boots.  If I try to pass the kernel option "acpi=off" or "acpi=ht", I get a kernel panic...  any ideas?
[11:23] <moparfan90> what should i do?
[11:23] <ebbhead> gnomefreak .. yes, well I'm updated, so I guess I'm not on flight 6 anymore. Anyway it's broken locales. I'll change channel now. Thanks !
[11:25] <kevor> ok :)
[11:26] <i3dmaster> how to rename the printers created in gnome-cups-manager?
[11:26] <kevor> _jason: retrying now, thanks
[11:26] <Edison> hi everyone
[11:26] <i3dmaster> they all named like Queue, Queue-1 and so forth...
[11:26] <kevor> _jason: it works now :)
[11:26] <kevor> gnomefreak: thanks for you trouble, again :P
[11:26] <gnomefreak> kevor, im here to help never trouble
[11:26] <mwe> i3dmaster: in kde you just right click it, can't you do the same in gnome?
[11:27] <Edison> i have a question how can i change file permissions??
[11:27] <mwe> Edison: chmod
[11:27] <gnomefreak> Edison, man chmod
[11:27] <Edison> ??
[11:27] <mwe> gnomefreak: copycat
[11:27] <gnomefreak> ;)
[11:27] <_jason> Edison: right click > properties > permissions, works too
[11:27] <i3dmaster> mwe, I can change, but the there is only a close button, after close, the name didn't get changed
[11:27] <Edison> thanks
[11:27] <kevor> Edison: chmod ugo+rwx (ugo= user group other) ( + means on you can also youse -) (rwx is read write execute)
[11:28] <poningru> dont bother with all of that
[11:28] <Edison> im learning how to use ubuntu lol
[11:28] <poningru> just learn the numbering system
[11:28] <kevor> poningru: that's hard for newbies :)
[11:28] <mwe> i3dmaster: I don't know. it sounds a bit broken then
[11:28] <poningru> no its not thats easier
[11:28] <poningru> well it was easier for me
[11:28] <Edison> but _jason i cant change filesystem permissions
[11:28] <i3dmaster> mwe, I think it is
[11:28] <Edison> that way
[11:28] <kevor> poningru: i'm dislectic.. so i'm scared of numbers ;)
[11:28] <poningru> hehe
[11:29] <_jason> Edison: you can only change permissions for files you own.  What file are you trying to change?
[11:29] <Edison> im trying to change a user file
[11:29] <mwe> Edison: file system perms?
[11:29] <Edison> yes
[11:29] <mwe> Edison: what's that?
[11:29] <i3dmaster> mwe, I was trying to see if anyone knows if the gnome-cups-manager reads any conf file so I can just edit the conf file and change the names instead of going to GUI
[11:29] <fiendskull9> !locales
[11:29] <ubotu> methinks locales is at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/LocaleConf
[11:30] <gnomefreak> Edison, chmod <parameters> <path/to/file>
[11:30] <produkt_> j/ #mepis
[11:30] <mwe> i3dmaster: Well I believe you can edit the cups conf files by hand
[11:30] <produkt_> oops
[11:30] <Mars^> Hi i need some help. I will ask here cause i am using ubuntu and i feel it is the right thing. I want to learn how to write apps. I will start with C. Schould i use special course for linux system, or these for windows will be good?
[11:30] <green__saotome> hi guys
[11:30] <kingspawn> Mars^: get one that is linux specific
[11:30] <Elazar> Using Synaptic to do a complete removal of gPHPEdit doesn't seem to have gotten rid of the option I get to open it in the menu that appears when I right-click on a file. Any ideas on how I can do that? I tried reinstalling it and doing a complete removal again to make sure that something odd didn't happen when I originally completely removed it, but the menu option is still there.
[11:31] <green__saotome> i'm still trying to switch over from the dark side, what can i use to handle my podcast subscriptions?
[11:31] <gnomefreak> Edison, if you want it to be read + writable for everyone it would look something like chmod a+x ~/file     if a file in your home dir
[11:31] <produkt_> the windows one should be okish for console apps shouldn't it?
[11:31] <mwe> Mars^: if the programs rely only on ansi c any book is good
[11:31] <i3dmaster> mwe, edited printers.conf but when I open gnome-cups-manager, it still using those old names
[11:31] <Edison> thats the one
[11:31] <Edison> thanks let me try
[11:31] <mwe> Mars^: if they explicitly use the win32 API they won't work in linux
[11:31] <mwe> i3dmaster: that sounds odd
[11:32] <i3dmaster> mwe, very
[11:32] <mwe> i3dmaster: does it update if you restart cupsys?
[11:32] <mwe> i3dmaster: sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart
[11:32] <i3dmaster> mwe, I can try
[11:32] <NickGarvey> Elazar: rebooting to get everything back to defaults?
[11:33] <Elazar> NickGarvey: *rae* Rebooting? Huh? I'm not running off a Live CD, if that's what you meant.
[11:33] <i3dmaster> mwe, no unfortunately
[11:33] <Elazar> NickGarvey: I have rebooted since I did the removal of gPHPEdit, though, and that hadn't had any effect.
[11:33] <mwe> i3dmaster: I don't think I can help then. maybe someone else ...
[11:34] <i3dmaster> mwe, haha.. you know what, I changed from the KDE printer manager.
[11:34] <i3dmaster> mwe, I think the gnome one is just broken

[11:37] <tdn> gnomefreak, I really don't think that my problem is a bug in Ubuntu.
[11:37] <Elazar> Another question: is there a way to remove arrows on symbolic links? (i.e. when they're located on the desktop)
[11:38] <gnomefreak> tdn, im seeing it with more than just you people in dapper are having issue also and _jim_

[11:50] <FlameSphere> Is there an actual place I can suggest stuff
[11:50] <gimmulf_3> Hi, i just installed Ruby thru synaptic but when i type "ruby" in shell nothing happens :/ its just waiting and no error msg
[11:50] <fiendskull9> gimmulf_3, i have same prob
[11:50] <J_P> people, I have ubuntu 5.10, and I am using redir program and doing this : "redir --laddr=200.xxx.xxx.xxx --lport=9000 --caddr=<IP_ADDRESS> --cport=80  --debug", but this isn't working, but I test this comand in debian sarge and are working, version is equal (2.0). In ubuntu redir receive conection but cannot redirect it... Anyone have anyone idea ?
[11:50] <_jim_> sorry mate , what do u mena
[11:50] <gnomefreak> gimmulf_3, what are you expecting it to do?
[11:50] <_jim_> mean*
[11:50] <NoUse> FlameSphere report a bug of severity "wishlist"
[11:50] <gimmulf_3> gnomefreak: give me a prompt or something
[11:50] <fiendskull9> gnomefreak, it should pop up with an IDE, its for programming in ruby
[11:51] <_jim_> lol omg
[11:51] <brendan> anyone know how to set up /etc/network/interfaces to put both a static inet4 and inet6 address on eth0 ?
[11:51] <gnomefreak> localedef --help  this _jim_
[11:51] <gnomefreak> fiendskull9, well that would depend because ruby is just a lanuage no? you would have to install an ide or use a text editor?
[11:52] <gnomefreak> i thought rub file.ruby or whatever the .ext is would run a ruby app
[11:52] <gnomefreak> s/rub/ruby
[11:53] <gnomefreak> meaning the word ruby would be for interpreter
[11:53] <gnomefreak> brb _jim_ let me know if you see a way to run the --config
[11:53] <_jim_> k

[11:57] <brendan> anyone know how to set up /etc/network/interfaces to put both a static inet4 and inet6 address on eth0 ? ifup eth0 seems to ignore the inet6 stanza
[11:57] <_jason> thecrazymonk86: what does ``messing with my sound'' mean exactly?
[11:57] <_jim_> i dont see any conf commands
[11:57] <_jim_> should i pastebin u all this ?
[11:57] <gnomefreak> yes
[11:58] <thecrazymonk86> _jason: i was trying to get my sound to work in ut2004 and they had me move change somethings in esd.conf

[11:59] <Peps> My laptop blew it's motherboard and the thec said that after fixing it linux would not start, so I guess I lost the drive and have to re-install. This lap (NX8220)had some problems with the  X driver under breezy, so I am asking how safe it is to use Dapper Flight 6 and what does it mean RE the repositories
[11:59] <FlameSphere> Is there a program that can play WMA
[11:59] <eck> how can i prevent a module from loading?
[11:59] <thecrazymonk86> they made me run this command sudo ln -fs /usr/lib/libesd.so.0 /usr/lib/libesd.so.1
[11:59] <hyphenated> Peps: #ubuntu+1
[11:59] <FlameSphere> #suggest
[11:59] <FlameSphere> oops
[11:59] <_jason> thecrazymonk86: that shouldn't hurt anything
