[18:12] <pipelineaudio> ubotu: Im stuck, if I can at least undo the damage wicd and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=405990 did
[18:12] <sandaru1> XXer: hmm.. it should be enough i guess
[18:12] <achadwick> ankit: Applications > Add/Remove, search for "wine" in "all packages". Then check Wine Windows Emulator, and install it.
[18:12] <pipelineaudio> if I can get back my ethernet maybe a friend can log in and help me
[18:12] <riotkittie> b-_: launch it from a terminal. see what output you get when it crashes.
[18:12] <Moduliz0r__> ok, what is the lost+found folder for in my newly formatted drive?
[18:12] <VertexOfLife> marybuntu_: If you typed compiz --replace into alt+f2, no, you enabled it
[18:13] <achadwick> ankit: then follow instruction 6 at http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Installation:Ubuntu
[18:13] <Bronni> Ijoin #ubuntu.de
[18:13] <b-_> riotkittie: ok, doing it right now

[18:13] <soundray> bardyr: can you point me to any additional information? There is not /boot/config-* file for the debug kernel...
[18:13] <soundray> *no
[18:13] <qos> ikonia, where can i read the rules?
[18:13] <ankit> ok
[18:13] <zapakitul> morning
[18:13] <ikonia> qos check the topic
[18:13] <marybuntu> VertexOfLife: the last thing you told me to type was metacity --replace, so does that mean i disabled compiz?
[18:13] <achadwick> ankit: on the Installation:Ubuntu page, *do not* follow instructions 1-5. They are old.
[18:14] <VertexOfLife> marybuntu_: Yes
[18:14] <ankit> ok
[18:14] <diddy> corey, from the command line type sudo cp <filename>.nc /dev/fl0
[18:14] <pike_> ankit: basically the ie4linux script should setup everything for you. i dont know about the graphical stuff but after you run the script you will have a bin dir in your home so you can just 1) open terminal   2) and type  bin/ie6&   in terminal to run it
[18:14] <VertexOfLife> marybuntu_: When you want compiz to be re-enabled do the same thing and type comiz --replace
[18:14] <VertexOfLife> marybuntu_: compiz, sorry.
[18:14] <Moduliz0r__> do I need to keep the lost+found folders?
[18:14] <Snuxoll> Moduliz0r__: no
[18:14] <achadwick> Also, if the installer works, you get an "e" in a wine glass icon on your desktop :)
[18:14] <Moduliz0r__> awesome
[18:14] <ankit> ok
[18:14] <tritium> Moduliz0r__: don't delete system folders!
[18:14] <SatManUK> guys i have a question - i have a browser
[18:15] <marybuntu> VertexOfLife: oh, well, this is mom's computer, better leave well enough alone, she has enough trouble just logging on ... lol
[18:15] <Moduliz0r__> :|
[18:15] <tritium> Moduliz0r__: trying to break something?
[18:15] <Moduliz0r__> Well I just formatted a drive and I dont want the lost+found dir on it
[18:15] <VertexOfLife> marybuntu_: lol, I had to do the same with my parents
[18:15] <SatManUK> sorry for the enter - I have a file browser that refuses to close - its an application D0lphin
[18:15] <Snuxoll> tritium: lost+found isn't needed, if ext2/3 needs to use it the folder will be regenerated
[18:15] <ATupper> Greetings all, I have a problem with Gutsy.  I installed the proprietary ATI driver and now the computer almost completely refuses to boot to the login screen.  I've already reinstalled once, and I'd really like to not do that again, any ideas?
[18:15] <pcdoc963> ok i knew i would screw it up lol .... is there a way a linux user can disable the login prompt when you open the laptop door ... i have gdm set to autologin and the screensaver off ... i'm not a programer and i am 100% clueless about how *.sh scripts are written
[18:15] <b-_> riotkittie: A fatal error has ocurred and aMule has crashed. the backtrace says something about wxFatalSignalHandler in /usr/lib/libwx_baseu-2.8.so
[18:16] <cody> i need help with screen resolution problems.  im supposed to run at 1200x800 but it is in 1024x768 and everytime i try to change it it asks me if i want to keep new res but nothing changed.  its still 1024. plus my desktop effects don't work but im not too worried about that.
[18:16] <najsel> I've got some problem with my graphicscard, it's an ati radeon 9700pro, I'm using the propritiary driver "fglrx" and compiz and everything works lika a charm, BUT the problem is that my direct rendering doesn't work. Can anyone help me?
[18:16] <oj> !fixes
[18:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fixes - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[18:16] <tritium> Snuxoll: we should not be recommending the removal of _any_ system directories here.
[18:16] <marybuntu> VertexOfLife: ok, then, thanks, see yous all lata
[18:16] <VertexOfLife> marybuntu_: Bye
[18:16] <oj> !fixres
[18:16] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[18:16] <riotkittie> b-_: ah. that i have no clue about. sorry.
[18:16] <b-_> riotkittie: maybe reinstalling wxwidgets would do the trick?
[18:16] <b-_> ok, thanks anyway
[18:16] <pike_> ATupper: i know nothing about ati but if you just want to use vesa 1) alt-ctrl-f2  2) login  3) type:  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg   and select vesa as driver then enter for everything else as default 4) sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[18:16] <sandaru1> pcdoc963: so, gdm auto login didn't help?
[18:16] <Moduliz0r__> tritium: Nobody did, I asked
[18:17] <soundray> SatManUK: if you click the 'x' in the title bar, and it doesn't close, gnome should offer to force-quit it if you wait a few seconds
[18:17] <relapse> hi
[18:17] <pcdoc963> sandaru1: it isn't gdm its acpi
[18:17] <kenny> guys, why does my wireless card work under module .15 but not under .16??
[18:17] <Moduliz0r__> If I bugger up my system, I won't come on here and start OMFGLOLDISRGAI U R GAI'ing
[18:17] <ATupper> thanks pike!
[18:17] <pcdoc963> gdm is working great
[18:17] <riotkittie> ATupper: proprietary...  restricted? or the actual binary from ATI?
[18:17] <relapse> is there anyway to disable the framebuffer ubuntu boot screen? i would rather see the text of everything starting
[18:17] <qos> ikonia, where the hell are the rules? perhaps you shouldn't hide them that good ...
[18:18] <Snuxoll> relapse: You can hit esc during boot, or remove the splash and silent lines from grub.conf
[18:18] <SatManUK> soundray:  im using kde - and its not bringing up the not responding option either
[18:18] <soundray> relapse: 'gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst' and delete every occurrence of "quiet splash"
[18:18] <tritium> relapse: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst (defoptions line)
[18:18] <SatManUK> or i wouldn't be asking, i tried to find it in the kde process table but i can't find it
[18:18] <tritium> relapse: then, sudo update-grub
[18:18] <sandaru1> pcdoc963: no idea then :(
[18:18] <soundray> SatManUK: enter 'xkill' in konsole and click on the window
[18:18] <SatManUK> does Dxlphin use a different application name - like aMSN uses wish?
[18:18] <kenny> any ideas why my network card wont show up under wireless devices under .16 , but yes under .15?
[18:18] <pcdoc963> thanks sandaru1 :)
[18:18] <sandaru1> tritium: update-grub would restore the settings
[18:18] <tritium> relapse: don't edit every occurrnce...
[18:18] <_polto_> pls, do someone have an idea about what script rewrite my /etc/network/interfaces during boot on LiveDVD ?
[18:19] <Moduliz0r__> how do I make /serve writable by user lee?

[18:19] <SatManUK> that is nice :P

[18:22] <Asterix> I recently got a widescreen LCD and have my desktop set to 1680x1050.  I also run WoW in this resolution but when I quit WoW my desktop mysteriously gets set to 1280x1024 and I have to change it.  Any idea why this would be happening?
[18:22] <najsel> I've got some problem with my graphicscard, it's an ati radeon 9700pro, I'm using the propritiary driver "fglrx" and compiz works like a charm, BUT the problem is that my direct rendering doesn't work. Can anyone help me?
[18:22] <crdlb> najsel: Xgl disables direct rendering, so you can't use both compiz and 3d games at the same time with fglrx
[18:22] <KenSentMe> I try to get my Via audiodevice working on Ubuntu, In Xubuntu under Mixer only the default card is listed, not the via card. However, lsmod and lspci give this output http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44523/ indicating that the card is recognised. How can i get it to work?
[18:22] <Andycass1> how to I make it so that my app wants my eth1:1 ip, not eth1 ip
[18:22] <najsel> crdlb: How to do?
[18:23] <crdlb> to do what?
[18:23] <ikonia> Andycass1: routing
[18:23] <Andycass1> I know I should use route command, but with what synopsis
[18:23] <ikonia> Andycass1: you have to set a route to a destination to use a specific ip
[18:23] <maxagaz> kinroad: that's what I need but I don't get the grub-install stuff
[18:23] <SatManUK> what is Mozilla Gecko
[18:23] <Andycass1> But i want to direct the whole net to this ip
[18:24] <Snuxoll> SatManUK: Firefox's rendering engine
[18:24] <SatManUK> is that what ie is based on anybody know? wine is installing it atm.
[18:24] <ikonia> Andycass1: so set a default route
[18:24] <neverblue> anyone liking Swiftfox ?
[18:24] <ikonia> neverblue: not really,
[18:24] <Snuxoll> SatManUK: No, wine is installing a mozilla control for apps that embed IE in them
[18:24] <musashi> anyone know a good app for transcoding .avi to a lower resolution for playing on a psp?
[18:24] <neverblue> ikonia, any issues, you have found ?
[18:24] <ikonia> neverblue: no issues
[18:24] <Moduliz0r__> how do I make my mounted drive at /serve writable?
[18:24] <sleek> ubuntu has no longer pissed me off.
[18:24] <ikonia> sleek: no need for that language
[18:24] <neverblue> ikonia, no difference in speed ?
[18:25] <maxagaz> how to install grub on a usb harddrive ?
[18:25] <ikonia> neverblue: no
[18:25] <kinroad> maxagaz: if you are using windows then download the windows version of syslinux and use it to make the usb hard drive boot the ubuntu installer
[18:25] <ikonia> maxagaz: grub shell
[18:25] <neverblue> ikonia, then why do you not like it ?
[18:25] <ikonia> !grub | maxagaz
[18:25] <ubotu> maxagaz: 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
[18:25] <ikonia> neverblue: I see no purpose to it, and find the "optimisations" pointless
[18:25] <Andycass1> ikonia: how do i set default route?
[18:25] <ikonia> Andycass1: man route
[18:25] <colchaodemola> Is there a way to change firefox interface language to PT-BR while change the whole system to ptbr ?  I tried to insstall quick switch locale addon but the interface is still in english
[18:25] <ikonia> Andycass1: or use the network admin gui
[18:26] <qos> ikonia, if someone asks again: you can find the rules here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines . i propose to write down the link :D
[18:26] <ikonia> qos: that link is in the topic
[18:26] <ikonia> qos: as I told you
[18:26] <neverblue> qos, write?
[18:26] <neverblue> hehe
[18:26] <najsel> crdlb: If I disable compiz, does my direct rendering work then?
[18:26] <qos> ikonia, it is not
[18:26] <SK> oki have tried wat it said, but it php doesn't work still
[18:26] <crdlb> najsel: if you disable Xgl, yes
[18:27] <ikonia> qos: it is - got to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRCResourcePage in the topic which links to it
[18:27] <crdlb> without which compiz won't work (on fglrx)
[18:27] <Asterix> I recently got a widescreen LCD and have my desktop set to 1680x1050.  I also run WoW in this resolution but when I quit WoW my desktop mysteriously gets set to 1280x1024 and I have to change it.  Any idea why this would be happening?

[18:27] <crdlb> bubuq: click the "N users" button
[18:27] <qos> ikonia, u mean: there is another link in the topic which leads to the correct link?
[18:27] <crdlb> if you want a permanent list, then use another client
[18:27] <kinroad> maxagaz: ok then the grub shell will work fine
[18:27] <najsel> crdlb: how do I do that the easiest way?
[18:27] <ikonia> qos: please stop arguing, if you read the links in the topic you get to the rules
[18:27] <qos> ikonia, i didn't know that it would be that easy
[18:28] <bubuq> crdlb: where is this button?
[18:28] <maxagaz> kinroad: what to do when it's launched ?
[18:28] <crdlb> bubuq: bottom left
[18:28] <crdlb> bubuq: it says "1251 users" right now
[18:28] <bubuq> crdlb: do you mean that there are 1251 users here? ;-O
[18:28] <Myrtti> he does
[18:29] <Moduliz0r__> Mine doesnt tell me how many
[18:29] <bubuq> omfg.
[18:29] <Myrtti> Irssi: #ubuntu: Total of 1251 nicks
[18:29] <nanonyme> says 1250 for me
[18:29] <Moduliz0r__> oh im not using irssi
[18:29] <ikonia> bubuq: cut down on the naughty prhases
[18:29] <bubuq> what if all of them would say something
[18:29] <ikonia> bubuq: everyone knows what omfg means and its uncalled for
[18:29] <Moduliz0r__> What if that f stood for fudge?
[18:29] <Moduliz0r__> oh ma fudging gawd
[18:29] <neverblue> but you said it too ikonia :)
[18:30] <Myrtti> but but but
[18:30] <bubuq> ikonia: it's good that everybody knows that.  I like to be understood.
[18:30] <Moduliz0r__> omfc - oh my fudged cake!
[18:30] <nanonyme> Myrtti, why do we have a different user count?
[18:30] <tritium> Moduliz0r__: enough
[18:30] <Myrtti> *sigh*
[18:30] <ikonia> bubuq: good, so you understand its inappropriate
[18:30] <Moduliz0r__> but
[18:30] <Moduliz0r__> i have nothing better to do
[18:30] <bubuq> ikonia: no, why?
[18:30] <tritium> Moduliz0r__: find something, then.
[18:30] <Myrtti> Moduliz0r__: you might pretty soon
[18:30] <Moduliz0r__> um
[18:30] <ikonia> bubuq: because there is no need for bad language
[18:30] <crdlb> nanonyme: because it changes when people leave ...
[18:30] <mad> I was thinking of use the server addition of ubuntu and had a couple questions about what was included and used, are python and ssh available and what is used to transfer files to the apache server?
[18:30] <SK> ?$+ ikonia? i have php5 installed but i dont see anything on my site..
[18:31] <Moduliz0r__> why are you going to haxx0r me to give me some fixx0ring to do?
[18:31] <qos> ikonia, i just want to add: when you are so fussy with the rules, don't hide them that good. paste them directly in the topic or stop wasting my time
[18:31] <nanonyme> crdlb, hmm, just remembered something...
[18:31] <colchaodemola> Is there a way to change firefox interface language to PT-BR while change the whole system to ptbr ?  I tried to insstall quick switch locale addon but the interface is still in english
[18:31] <tritium> qos: the Code of Conduct is published
[18:31] <crdlb> najsel: mkdir -p ~/.config/xserver-xgl/; touch ~/.config/xserver-xgl/disable
[18:31] <nanonyme> crdlb, i forgot i had ignored joins and parts :P
[18:31] <ankit> ya i installed wine emulator and after that what can i do
[18:31] <ikonia> qos: I asked you to read the topic - for the rules, they are not hidden
[18:31] <bubuq> but there was no bad language.
[18:31] <Andycass1> ikonia: I used "route add default eth1:1", still nothing
[18:31] <Myrtti> AAAANNNDD we shall move on
[18:32] <Moduliz0r__> Anyone know where I can get a 5 or 8 port Gigabit switch?
[18:32] <maxagaz> kinroad: well actually,the computer I'm going to install linux on has just vista... so, I can run the install of linux just by running syslinux, and just having the two files initrd.gz & linux on my usb hard drive, right ?
[18:32] <ikonia> Andycass1: thats not an ip address
[18:32] <crdlb> najsel: and remove that file (~/.config/xserver-xgl/disable) to re-enable it
[18:32] <ikonia> Andycass1: route uses ip addresses AND the -i interface flag
[18:32] <ikonia> SK: sorry I missed your question
[18:32] <pcdoc963> griping about the rules is for the grade school playground
[18:32] <SK> ?$+ ikonia? i have php5 installed but i dont see anything on my site..
[18:32] <SK> i restarted apache2 and it is anabled
[18:32] <SK> *enabled
[18:32] <ikonia> SK: ok - have you got a site written in php
[18:32] <SK> yes
[18:32] <Myrtti> there are rules, you're welcome to adhere to them, if you do not, then you will end up in troubles. IRC is not a democracy, so the rules aren't an issue to be discussed over - not on this channel anyway.
[18:32] <ikonia> SK: can you share it with us ?
[18:32] <Andycass1> hmm so it should be "route add default <IP_ADDRESS> -i eth1:1" ?
[18:32] <gordonjcp> 18:29 < ikonia> bubuq: everyone knows what omfg means and its uncalled for
[18:33] <gordonjcp> ikonia: that's a bit of an assumption to make
[18:33] <SK> http://theagentalliance.ath.cx
[18:33] <tritium> gordonjcp: just drop it
[18:33] <ikonia> gordonjcp: yes, but its still uncalled for. Lets move on
[18:33] <SK> atm it says page cannot be displayed
[18:33] <neverblue> SK, which page?
[18:33] <gordonjcp> ikonia: it's a meaningless string of four characters
[18:33] <Moduliz0r__> cake
[18:33] <SK> index.html
[18:33] <ikonia> SK: thats because either a.) apache is not running b.) dns is not pointing to a correct apache server host
[18:33] <najsel> crdlb: thats very complicated for me that is just a noob. I must now what i'm doing. :D
[18:33] <SK> the dns works
[18:33] <nanonyme> Myrtti, well, rules *are* an issue to be discussed over. just not an issue to be argued publicly about :)
[18:34] <neverblue> SK that cannot display PHP
[18:34] <SK> as the TeamSpeak server works on it
[18:34] <neverblue> SK as its an .html file
[18:34] <ikonia> SK: haveyou configured apache to listen on the correct ip addres
[18:34] <Myrtti> nanonyme: as I said, not on this channel
[18:34] <bubuq> gordonjcp: this is just an assumption.  I may mean something entirely different.  English is not my first language.
[18:34] <SK> um
[18:34] <gordonjcp> SK: I'm guessing your virtual host isn't configured correctly, if it's not showing what you expect
[18:34] <crdlb> najsel: all that command does is create the file ~/.config/xserver-xgl/disable
[18:34] <nanonyme> i can see nothing wrong with eg sending a question to an op
[18:34] <neverblue> SK where is the location to the php page YOU are trying to view
[18:34] <molajoku> any one know of a way to listen to a specific port ? i just want to test connectivity
[18:34] <gordonjcp> bubuq: that's true for a lot of people here
[18:34] <SK> 1 sec
[18:34] <nanonyme> well, yeah
[18:34] <gordonjcp> bubuq: it's only marginally my first language, tbh
[18:34] <crdlb> najsel: ~/ represents your home directory
[18:34] <macogw> is it necessary that "restricted-manager --check" run in the session startup for the already-installed restricted drivers to work, or does that just look for updates?
[18:34] <jsschmid1> can I AVOID SCAN of the DISK when I mounted ext3 in WinXP and hybernating?
[18:35] <SK> http://theagentalliance.ath.cx/roulette.php
[18:35] <gordonjcp> jsschmid1: unmount before hibernating?
[18:35] <najsel> crdlb: ok? and if i remove it the xgl will work again
[18:35] <SK> or phpinfo.php
[18:35] <bubuq> gordonjcp: which means that we can't say "everybody knows that"
[18:35] <gordonjcp> SK: that works, but the content-type is wrong
[18:35] <ikonia> SK: apache is not listening
[18:35] <valder> .
[18:35] <crdlb> najsel: after logging out, yes
[18:35] <gordonjcp> bubuq: I could say some very rude words in here that I doubt anyone else would understand
[18:35] <pcdoc963> throw the ati card in a drawer and use an nvidia untill ati gets their act together and fixes all the driver issues
[18:35] <ikonia> gordonjcp: are you getting a server response ?
[18:35] <SK> how do i get it to listen ?
[18:35] <gordonjcp> ikonia: yup
[18:35] <ikonia> SK: you need to configure apache
[18:35] <jsschmid1> gordonjcp: I mean something automatic, or just advice linux not to scan because anyhow the FS is consistent
[18:35] <ikonia> gordonjcp: I'm getting a dead response.
[18:35] <jsschmid1> gordonjcp: ...most likely
[18:36] <gordonjcp> ikonia: I'm getting a php page served as plain text
[18:36] <KenSentMe> I try to get my Via audiodevice working on Ubuntu, In Xubuntu under Mixer only the default card is listed, not the via card. However, lsmod and lspci give this output http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44523/ indicating that the card is recognised. How can i get it to work?
[18:36] <neverblue> SK I see nothing in the file
[18:36] <bubuq> gordonjcp: exactly my point.  I said something neutral, but some people got offended.
[18:36] <ikonia> gordonjcp: very different responses
[18:36] <soundray> jsschmid1: you don't know if it's consistent if Windows hibernated on it
[18:36] <gordonjcp> ikonia: it seems to be empty though
[18:36] <jakil_> je veu monté un disk il m afiche ( hal-storage-fixed-monte refused uid 1000 )
[18:36] <gordonjcp> bizarre
[18:36] <SK> ?$+ neverblue? thats my point lol#
[18:36] <kinroad> maxagaz: copy the linux and initrg.gz files to the usb hard drive, run syslinux F: (use usb drive letter) to make it bootable
[18:36] <najsel> crdlb: so I must remove that file everytime I want to use compiz?
[18:36] <soundray> !fr | jakil_
[18:36] <ubotu> jakil_: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[18:36] <neverblue> SK, permissions perhaps ?
[18:36] <crdlb> najsel: yes
[18:36] <jsschmid1> soundray: right ... so I would have to automatically unmount before entering hybernation
[18:36] <gordonjcp> SK: epic fail, try again with the configuration
[18:36] <ikonia> gordonjcp: I wonder if his dns has not propgated as I'm getting dead 404
[18:36] <neverblue> SK or you just created a blank file...
[18:36] <jsschmid1> soundray: will think about this
[18:36] <SK> where is the config file ?
[18:37] <bubuq> omfg == Official Meeting Facilities Guide, btw
[18:37] <gordonjcp> ikonia: what ip addy are you getting for theagentalliance.ath.cx ?
[18:37] <SK> <?
[18:37] <SK> phpinfo()
[18:37] <SK> ?>
[18:37] <jsschmid1> soundray: gordonjcp: thank
[18:37] <maxagaz> kinroad: ok, thanks a lot :D
[18:37] <Myrtti> bubuq: just drop it, or if you want to discuss it further, there are other venues we could pursue
[18:37] <gordonjcp> ikonia: ath.cx is dyndns, their DNS TTL is in the order of a few seconds
[18:37] <tritium> bubuq: for the last time, drop it
[18:37] <ikonia> gordonjcp: <IP_ADDRESS>
[18:37] <DigitalNinja> How do I turn of fsck on boot? I think it's in fstab
[18:37] <gordonjcp> ikonia: yup
[18:37] <najsel> crdlb: but isn't there some other way I can easily switch between xorg and xgl?
[18:37] <gordonjcp> that's what I get
[18:38] <ikonia> gordonjcp: odd that I'm getting 404
[18:38] <bubuq> Myrtti: what venue would you like to pursue?
[18:38] <neverblue> SK have you tried asking in #php or #apache?
[18:38] <SK> no
[18:38] <SK>
[18:38] <crdlb> najsel: well, while in Xgl, you can start games with "DISPLAY=:0 game_goes_here" which will run the game on X
[18:38] <neverblue> SK u may want to
[18:38] <crdlb> which is running underneath of Xgl
[18:38] <SK> which php or apahce ?
[18:38] <Myrtti> bubuq: I'd rather not pursue it any further
[18:38] <SK> *apache
[18:38] <gordonjcp> ikonia:
[18:38] <gordonjcp> Resolving theagentalliance.ath.cx... <IP_ADDRESS>
[18:38] <gordonjcp> Connecting to theagentalliance.ath.cx|<IP_ADDRESS>|:80... connected.
[18:38] <gordonjcp> HTTP request sent, awaiting response... No data received.
[18:38] <Myrtti> bubuq: just drop it
[18:38] <jsschmid1> I have problems with make with a wifi driver (RAW for PACKETINJEKTIION)
[18:38] <neverblue> SK which are you having the issue with ?
[18:38] <gordonjcp> ikonia: that, over and over and over
[18:38] <Myrtti> gordonjcp: you should know better!
[18:38] <crdlb> najsel: but that doesn't work perfectly
[18:38] <macogw> pcdoc963: they released specs and theyve released AIGLX-capable binaries
[18:39] <macogw> pcdoc963: they just havent made it into ubuntu yet
[18:39] <ikonia> gordonjcp: ahhh what tool are you using it
[18:39] <SK> well PHP doesn't work, but you suggested that my apache may be wrongly configured
[18:39] <gordonjcp> ikonia: that was wget
[18:39] <macogw> pcdoc963: regarding ati, that is
[18:39] <najsel> ok..
[18:39] <ikonia> gordonjcp: that explains it, his virtual host isn't setup
[18:39] <ikonia> SK: you need to setup your host
[18:39] <neverblue> SK I didnt suggest that, no
[18:39] <bubuq> Myrtti: in this case I would appreciate being directed to the official policies.
[18:39] <SK> someone did tho
[18:39] <ikonia> bubuq: check the topic
[18:39] <pike_> DigitalNinja: see /etc/init.d/ i think its checkroot.sh  if so then a sudo update-rc.d -f checkroot.sh remove will work
[18:39] <SK> how would i setup my virtual host ?
[18:39] <gordonjcp> ikonia: shouldn't it fall through to the default page?
[18:39] <bubuq> I did.  Nothing there.
[18:40] <neverblue> SK when you just toss out statements, which arent directed to a specific users, it makes it difficult to understand, at times
[18:40] <ikonia> gordonjcp: not if he's not setup a default site
[18:40] <gordonjcp> hmm true
[18:40] <ehc> I ran  sudo apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-python2.4 and have both installed. Where are the configuration files if I want to install mod_python for django following directions from http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/modpython/
[18:40] <ikonia> bubuq: then you didn't read - there are 3 links in there
[18:40] <DigitalNinja> pike_ : I think we are talking about two different things
[18:40] <pcdoc963> one venue i would love to pursue is without going to school to learn programing is how to disable the login prompt when i open the door on my laptop ... sorry this isn't apache .... atm i'm wishing it was :(
[18:40] <bubuq> there are four links. Which one is right?
[18:40] <jsschmid1> where can I PASTE to?
[18:40] <gordonjcp> ehc: you'd create a virtual host in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
[18:40] <ikonia> bubuq: they all contain different parts
[18:41] <gordonjcp> ehc: or rather /etc/apache2/sites-available and then symlink to sites-enabled
[18:41] <pike_> !paste | jsschmid1
[18:41] <ubotu> jsschmid1: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[18:41] <najsel> crdlb: but if I use the resticted driver for my ati-card, can I unselect it everytime I want to run a game in the propritiary driver meny?
[18:41] <bubuq> ikonia: I suppose "code of conduct" is right?
[18:41] <SK> ?$+ ikonia? how would io setup my host ?
[18:42] <ikonia> bubuq: thats a general ubuntu guide, not specific to ird
[18:42] <najsel> crdlb: restart x offcourse before I'm running the game
[18:42] <ikonia> !apache >sk
[18:42] <Krylen> hey, anyone know where I might find some acpid developers?
[18:42] <ikonia> SK: check the pm from ubotu
[18:42] <ikonia> Krylen: in the kernel ?
[18:42] <SK> [6:42pm] <ubotu> Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)
[18:42] <crdlb> najsel: if you turn off the restricted driver, you'll be using the default driver, which supports compiz on regular X, but it isn't great for gaming
[18:42] <SK> lol
[18:42] <ikonia> !apache
[18:42] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[18:42] <Krylen> ikonia: naw, the daemon itself: https://sourceforge.net/projects/acpid/
[18:43] <Adriaan_> Hey, couple of days ago I asked how to convert an mpeg or avi (windows videos in general) to .ogg
[18:43] <ikonia> Krylen: ah
[18:43] <Adriaan_> but my internet broke suddenly
[18:43] <Adriaan_> so, can anyone explain it again?
[18:43] <SK> !apache >sk
[18:43] <ikonia> Krylen: no contact information on sourceforge ?
[18:43] <bubuq> ikonia: there is nothing more specific then.
[18:43] <ikonia> bubuq: there is some info around
[18:43] <soundray> Adriaan_: ogg is just a container format. You probably want Ogg Theora if you favour a free format
[18:43] <najsel> crdlb: Ok, so if i just deactivate xgl, the fglrx will still work
[18:43] <Krylen> ikonia: I've got some crazy bug on an older version and despite finding where it's comming from in the code I'm still baffled as to wh it's happening
[18:43] <bubuq> ikonia: well, that's not good enough.  I would like to see _official_ page of this specific channel.
[18:44] <crdlb> najsel: yes, fglrx is your video driver
[18:44] <Krylen> ikonia: I may have to email, I was hoping they'd have a channel, but no such luck :P
[18:44] <Berkov> how is Bercov?
[18:44] <ikonia> bubuq: I don't have time to re-read all the links for you
[18:44] <jsschmid1> I have a PROBLEM with the MAKE of a WIRELESS DRIVER, I think it's a problem with directories, see make output: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44526/
[18:44] <bubuq> ikonia: I have another version: there is nothing in these links to support your claim.
[18:45] <macogw> does the restricted-driver --check HAVE to run at session startup in order for restricted drivers to keep working, or is that *just* to update them?  i see no reason why mine would need to be updated when they currently work perfectly
[18:45] <Adriaan_> soundray: I guess,.. I just wanted to convert my videos so I don't get the troubles with nonfree codecs
[18:45] <green__> how would i install the libburn package from svn?
[18:45] <ikonia> bubuq: I don't make any claim
[18:45] <macogw> green__: first youd need to have subversion and build-essential installed
[18:45] <Krylen> ikonia: I can see you are swamped, thanks anyway!
[18:45] <soundray> Adriaan_: mencoder will probably work for you. Maybe transcode or ffmpeg as well. Be aware that you will end up with compression artifacts from both codecs.
[18:45] <Andycass1> Sigh, Im still lost with the route command...
[18:45] <bubuq> ikonia: you dared to reprimand me, citing rules, which don't exist!
[18:45] <tritium> bubuq: you're spamming the channel.  Please stop.
[18:45] <pcdoc963> jsschmid1: if your wireless device is not native use ndiswrapper .... theres a great ubuntu how-to on the wiki
[18:46] <tomce> my laptop has a light to illuminate they keyboard - but i don't know how to set it p with ubuntu
[18:46] <YeTr2> bubuq, youa re acting like troll right this second, please stop.
[18:46] <YeTr2> ikonia: jsut drop it
[18:46] <green__> macogw: ok then?
[18:46] <Enselic_> What could be the reason Xnest :1 -ac & does not work when I have it in a script, but when I run it manually?
[18:46] <bubuq> tritium: having a conversation in CHAT means spamming?!
[18:46] <macogw> green__: you have those installed?
[18:46] <musashi> anyone know a good app for transcoding .avi to a lower resolution for playing on a psp? i have vlc but it doesn't seem to do that.
[18:46] <green__> yes
[18:46] <ikonia> YeTr2: its already delt with
[18:46] <tritium> bubuq: you're far off topic, and ranting on and on, so _yes_
[18:46] <najsel> crdlb: Ok, i'm making that file with mkdir -p ~/.config/xserver-xgl/; touch ~/.config/xserver-xgl/disable and the i have to use remove mkdir -p ~/.config/xserver-xgl/; touch ~/.config/xserver-xgl/disable everytime I want to use compiz?
[18:46] <Andycass1> The "route add default <IP_ADDRESS> eth1:1" Doesnt do anything
[18:46] <Enselic_> musashi: I think that's a FFmpeg FAQ
[18:47] <Enselic_> musashi: sudo apt-get install ffmpeg and read the FAQ on their site
[18:47] <ikonia> Andycass1: I TOLD you 3 times now, -i for interfaces, read the man page
[18:47] <macogw> green__: the program's website should tell you how to checkout the source.  it'll be "svn co" (co or checkout...either works) then the url to the source
[18:47] <musashi> Enselic_: cool thanks
[18:47] <Myrtti> bubuq: read your private messages, please
[18:47] <bubuq> tritium: I am sorry about that, but I was insulted. How shall I deal with that now?
[18:47] <green__> it does
[18:47] <Adriaan_> soundray: I heard VLC can also convert to ogg theora, how should I do this?
[18:47] <tritium> bubuq: drop it
[18:47] <Myrtti> thank you
[18:47] <Andycass1> -i tells me "invalid option --i"
[18:47] <crdlb> najsel: once the file is created, use "rm ~/.config/xserver-xgl/disable" to remove, and "touch ~/.config/xserver-xgl/disable" to recreate it
[18:48] <mike3_> holy moly!
[18:48] <macogw> green__: once you get the source, cd into it, and if there's a file called "configure" run "./configure" if there's not, run "./autogen.sh" first, then ./configure then "make" then "make install"
[18:48] <CyberAgeVoodoo> Hello, Need help with GDM - It will not allow me to run Login Window... it says It's not running
[18:48] <mike3_> Bannana cream pie!
[18:48] <Enselic_> Adriaan_: I would recomend FFmpeg for any media converting task
[18:48] <ikonia> Andycass1: you don't need to put an interface if you only have one ip address on that subnet
[18:48] <mike3_> Can linux run in a cake?
[18:48] <ikonia> mike3_: ?
[18:48] <Enselic_> mike3_: Linux runs everywhere
[18:48] <Enselic_> including cakes
[18:48] <tenex> NetBSD can run on a toaster
[18:48] <macogw> mike3_: does the cake have any hardware baked inside it?
[18:48] <green__> macogw: thanks i'll try that
[18:48] <fondor1> yes. yes it can
[18:48] <mike3_> Enselic_, Really? Even strawberry?
[18:48] <YeTr2> mike3_: there ahve been toasters and bread boxes, don't see why you can't build one in a cake.
[18:48] <najsel> crdlb: ok!
[18:48] <ikonia> !offtopic >mike3_
[18:48] <Andycass1> I have two ips on that subnet
[18:48] <fondor1> oh yeah, works great in my raspberry-filled
[18:48] <Enselic_> mike3_: oh strawberry? sorry, not ported yet
[18:49] <macogw> might smell after a while..
[18:49] <fondor1> I imagine strawberry would work too
[18:49] <CyberAgeVoodoo> anyone?
[18:49] <Enselic_> no way strawberry would work
[18:49] <Adriaan_> Enselic_: FFmpeg? ok, I'll google it right away
[18:49] <Andycass1> and without interface it tells me "No such interface" :/
[18:49] <Enselic_> banana is the most stable yet I've heard
[18:49] <mike3_> hahah
[18:49] <Andycass1> sorry "no such device"
[18:49] <tenex> Linux has ended-up being quite portable, but NetBSD is the reigning random hardware support champion
[18:49] <mike3_> I'm just cracking jokes..
[18:49] <ikonia> Andycass1: I apologise you don't need the -i
[18:50] <CyberAgeVoodoo> need a little help
[18:50] <jsschmid1> pcdoc963: thanks, but currently I use the ipw3945, which is working great, but I need packet injection to play around with WEP key finding (for scientific purpose)
[18:50] <Enselic_> !ask | CyberAgeVoodoo
[18:50] <ubotu> CyberAgeVoodoo: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[18:50] <jsschmid1> I have a PROBLEM with the MAKE of a WIRELESS DRIVER, I think it's a problem with directories, see make output: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44526/
[18:50] <private_guy> Hi there all :)
[18:50] <sleek> I have a program I started and opened a port on 8100 ... is there anything I need to do to allow another computer to connect?
[18:50] <Andycass1> I'd just want this thing to get working... With or without -i its still not working
[18:50] <Enselic_> sleek: not on a default install afaik
[18:51] <ikonia> Andycass1: show me the command your using again
[18:51] <private_guy> I have low space on my LINUX Ubuntu and I'm going to use a program to extend the space but the only problem is, is that it will mess up the gurb boot menu, So what can i do?
[18:51] <pcdoc963> no idea then jsschmid1 i run a 100% wired network
[18:51] <YeTr2> sleek: make sure iptables isn't running and if this is an internet server behind a router, make sure port forwarding is enabled.
[18:51] <CyberAgeVoodoo> trying to get GDM (Login Window) to work, but it says It's not running. ... accusing "KDM, or some other manager to be running it
[18:51] <lucio123> hallo to everybody
[18:51] <Enselic_> jsschmid1: the makefile in the specified directory does not have rules for making 'modules'
[18:51] <jsschmid1> pcdoc963: which is good no one will break in ;-)
[18:51] <Andycass1> route add default <IP_ADDRESS> eth1:1
[18:51] <pcdoc963> yep ")

[18:51] <ikonia> Andycass1: ok try this
[18:51] <mike3_> sweet!
[18:51] <CyberAgeVoodoo> how do I reset it to use GDM
[18:52] <private_guy> I have low space on my LINUX Ubuntu and I'm going to use a program to extend the space but the only problem is, is that it will mess up the gurb boot menu, So what can i do?
[18:52] <ikonia> Andycass1: route add default <IP_ADDRESS> dev eth1:1
[18:52] <Dr_willis> CyberAgeVoodoo,  sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[18:52] <CyberAgeVoodoo> thank you
[18:52] <najsel> crdlb: But when I'm using that command in the terminal I'm getting the answer like "can't touch "/home/najsel/.config/xserver-xgl/disable".
[18:52] <jsschmid1> Enselic_: I read that, but I am not experienced enough to fix that issue, can you help?
[18:52] <Enselic_> !patience | private_guy
[18:52] <ubotu> private_guy: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[18:52] <private_guy> Sorry
[18:53] <Enselic_> jsschmid1: you should be ok if you just follow drivers installation instructions
[18:53] <YeTr2> private_guy: use lvm next time?
[18:53] <ikonia> Andycass1: I'm not sure how virtual interfaces are handled with route, more so when they are on the same subnet as the physical card's address
[18:53] <private_guy> YeTr2: lvm?
[18:53] <Andycass1> Hmm, it doesnt want to accept it, gives me list of synopses...
[18:53] <SK> ikonia, i setup the virtual host
[18:53] <X3N> When compiling should the build-essential tools know the right location to install files to ? or is the user expected to add the correct --prefix ?
[18:53] <CyberAgeVoodoo> Dr_willis: i got this error invoke-rc.d: initscript gdm, action "reload" failed.
[18:54] <ikonia> Andycass1: try dropping the :1
[18:54] <pcdoc963> looks like apache volunteers not ubuntu  .... i just want to turn off the login prompt when i open my laptop door not code a website lol
[18:54] <ankit> guys i am not able to installed internet explorer
[18:54] <YeTr2> private_guy: logical volume management. it allows for shrink/grow of "partitions" on the fly.
[18:54] <Sturm> hi
[18:54] <green__> macogw: it keeps telling me no such file or directory
[18:54] <lucio123> some body knows why my supernintendo emulator zsnes doesn't open? should I do something in particular?
[18:54] <cody> can anyone help me on fixing this  http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2004/2020709789_f3bd81b523.jpg?v=0
[18:54] <scales> hey all i am having some issues playing mpeg and quicktime files with totem mplayer.  i was wondering how i enable vlc to work with firefox and have it replace totem
[18:54] <macogw> green__: are you inside the directory where the source is?
[18:54] <Andycass1> Still same
[18:54] <YeTr2> lucio123: try running it from a terminal window and see if there are any errors being produced.
[18:54] <private_guy> YeTr2: Yeah but if i use those programs, it messes up the Ubuntu Booting Menu, it wont work giving me an Error 17
[18:54] <jsschmid1> Enselic_:  is there a specific standard file (name) with contains install instructions?
[18:54] <CyberAgeVoodoo> well ... i'll go for a reboot. hopefully that fixes it
[18:54] <ikonia> Andycass1: drop the dev and eth1/eth1:1
[18:54] <ikonia> Andycass1: just assign via IP
[18:54] <macogw> green__: and can you do "ls" and see if autogen.sh is there?
[18:55] <Enselic_> jsschmid1: the instructions should come wiht the driver package
[18:55] <crdlb> najsel: you need to run "mkdir -p ~/.config/xserver-xgl" *once* to create that folder
[18:55] <macogw> green__: theres likely also a readme
[18:55] <Enselic_> jsschmid1: if you use a package from Ubuntu, look in /usr/share/doc/
[18:55] <green__> macogw: yes i got the source, then ls then cd into libburn
[18:55] <ikonia> Andycass1: or try route add -net <IP_ADDRESS> 192.168.x.x
[18:55] <YeTr2> private_guy: why would you need to resize your /boot anyways?
[18:55] <crdlb> after that, you only need to run the touch part
[18:55] <Andycass1> ikonia: gives me "SIOCADDRT - No such device"
[18:55] <lucio123> yetr2, what command I give to run it from the terminal?
[18:55] <YeTr2> lucio123: you have a terminal window open?
[18:55] <ikonia> Andycass1: show me ifconfig eth0
[18:56] <private_guy> YeTr2: Full Space, i made the size 2 GB by mistake :(.. and now I cant login unless i login with Root to access ubuntu
[18:56] <SK> ikoniaL i setup the virtual host but its still showing same as before, and i did restart apache
[18:56] <green__> macogw: then i ls again and tried to cd into any other colored lisyting
[18:56] <lucio123> yetr2 , yes it is open
[18:56] <YeTr2> lucio123: `zsnes`
[18:56] <cody> can anyone help me on fixing this http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2004/2020709789_f3bd81b523.jpg?v=0
[18:56] <macogw> green__: what files were in there?
[18:56] <ankit> guys how can i  installed internet  explorer on linex
[18:56] <macogw> green__: any green-highlighted ones?
[18:56] <macogw> ankit: IEs4Lin (google it)
[18:57] <green__> macogw: the colored ones?
[18:57] <bullgard4> I cannot blacklist the 8139cp module because it gets loaded from the initramfs at boot. How can I create a new initramfs *without* loading the 8139cp module?
[18:57] <macogw> green__: well purple is for directories.  anything green?
[18:57] <YeTr2> private_guy: you should have just let ubuntu handle the partitioning. /boot is rarely larger than 150MB(Redhat thing). usually it's smaller around 50MB
[18:57] <pcdoc963> ankit: buy and install crossover office
[18:57] <ankit> ya i installed ies4linex but after that i can't know what can i do
[18:58] <private_guy> YeTr2: Yeah but I have another 6 GB Free which i want to addon to the Ubuntu drive, but if i do, it messes up the Boot Menu
[18:58] <green__> macogw: theres cdrskin, doc, libburn, libcevap and test
[18:58] <najsel> crdlb: I've done that once, but then when i'm running the touch command I can't touch it
[18:58] <lucio123> yetr2 I wrote 'zsnes' in the terminal window and I didn't get any error
[18:58] <jsschmid1> Enselic_: it is not a package of Ubuntu and there, as far as I can see, no instructions on how to compile the driver.
[18:58] <macogw> green__: ok and what's inside libbburn
[18:58] <Andycass1> ikonia: inet addr:<IP_ADDRESS> Bcast: <IP_ADDRESS> Mask: <IP_ADDRESS>
[18:59] <cody> can anyone help me on fixing this http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2004/2020709789_f3bd81b523.jpg?v=0
[18:59] <macogw> ankit: umm i think it's in ~/bin
[18:59] <Enselic_> jsschmid1: there sure are compiling instructions somewhere
[18:59] <Enselic_> jsschmid1: maybe on the site
[18:59] <ikonia> Andycass1: that worked ?
[18:59] <jsschmid1> Enselic_: ok, just found it... I didn't expect it to be a text file but it is ... called INSTALL
[18:59] <MaxBrains> Should I just wait for the documentation on Kubuntu 7.10? My upgrade failed.
[18:59] <Enselic_> jsschmid1: that distributes the drivers I mean
[18:59] <Andycass1> Nah..
[18:59] <Jack_Sparrow> !fixres > cody
[18:59] <Enselic_> jsschmid1: right, note that as good as all ALLCAPS files are text files on Linux
[18:59] <jsschmid1> Enselic_: now I know for future tries
[18:59] <ikonia> Andycass1: didn't think so
[18:59] <macogw> ankit: open a terminal, "cd bin" then "ls" to see what's there, and "./ie6" for a file called ie6 (change what's after the ./ for different ones)
[18:59] <ikonia> Andycass1: I was about to be shocked if it did
[19:00] <private_guy> YeTr2: Yeah but I have another 6 GB Free which i want to addon to the Ubuntu drive, but if i do, it messes up the Boot Menu
[19:00] <Asterix> I recently got a widescreen LCD and have my desktop set to 1680x1050.  I also run WoW in this resolution but when I quit WoW my desktop mysteriously gets set to 1280x1024 and I have to change it.  Any idea why this would be happening?
[19:00] <SK> ok wats the command to uninstall something ?
[19:00] <green__> macogw: those are the only ones listed that are purple
[19:00] <ikonia> SK: use synaptic the package manager
[19:00] <jsschmid1> Enselic_: good thanks a lot, I think I will be fine now... thanks again and keep up your good work!
[19:00] <jsschmid1> Enselic_: cu!
[19:00] <Enselic_> jsschmid1: :)
[19:00] <SK> sudo apt...
[19:00] <Jack_Sparrow> private_guy: MAke the 6gig partition and use it for /home or for var/cache/apt/archives
[19:00] <Enselic_> SK: sudo apt-get remove
[19:01] <SK> ok
[19:01] <scales> any advice on playing back quicktime files?
[19:01] <Enselic_> SK: man apt-get to find out
[19:01] <Dr_willis> Asterix,   thats more of a wine issue, its not resetting the display properly.
[19:01] <Enselic_> scales: have you tried simply doubleclicking them?
[19:01] <crashoverdrive> ciao a tutti
[19:01] <private_guy> Jack_Sparrow: Yeah but ubuntu is on the other logical drive :(
[19:01] <Jack_Sparrow> private_guy: Shouldn't matter
[19:01] <scales> Enselic_: yeah i have, i try to play a quicktime file in firefox and it plays, but stops and stalls etc
[19:01] <crashoverdrive> ci sono Italiani???????
[19:02] <scales> i have also had issues playing mpeg files
[19:02] <Jack_Sparrow> !it
[19:02] <ubotu> Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[19:02] <scales> that are not embedded
[19:02] <private_guy> Jack_Sparrow: Well if you could tell me how to Repair the linux boot menu like MBR Fix on windows, that would be very helpful
[19:02] <Asterix> Dr_willis: thanks
[19:02] <Enselic_> scales: ok, playing them in browsers is a different matter
[19:02] <crashoverdrive> grazie
[19:02] <macogw> green__: not purple.  green means executable
[19:02] <macogw> anyway i have to leave now
[19:02] <macogw> class is over
[19:02] <macogw> bye
[19:03] <green__> macogw: bootstrap
[19:03] <Jack_Sparrow> private_guy: There are a few things to consider...  I dont have much time, but if you add a logical after the ubuntu partition it will not affect the boot
[19:03] <private_guy> Jack_Sparrow: Forget about all i have said, i just want to know how to repair the gurb ubuntu booting menu
[19:03] <scales> Enselic_: so would vlc do a better job?  how do i tell firefox to use it?
[19:03] <Jack_Sparrow> !grub
[19:03] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[19:04] <Jack_Sparrow> private_guy: That explains it better than I can in here
[19:04] <arnath> hi, i have set up pure-ftpd server with anonymous access on a computer meant for some easy distributing of certain files in a LAN environment
[19:05] <arnath> but the anonymous people can not create directories, how can i set it so they can?
[19:05] <Karnage> how would i disable a usb device, without unplugging it?
[19:05] <Enselic_> arnath: have you read the documentation of the server?
[19:05] <private_guy> Dam.. I might just format the whole thing lol
[19:05] <gsuveg> re
[19:05] <Jack_Sparrow> private_guy: That really isnt necessary
[19:06] <arnath> Enselic_: i've been googling a lot and was initially following a guide for a debian system with this server, but i have yet to find anyone refer to this
[19:06] <pike_> arnath: there is a gui for pureftpd i think its called pureadmin might make setting up config file a little easier. never used it myself
[19:06] <arnath> pike_: o thanks, will look into that
[19:06] <Enselic_> arnath: well if this is possbile it surely is documented somewhere
[19:06] <gsuveg> if i plugin my headset, the internal sound is work too
[19:06] <YeTr2> arnath: because allowing anon-ftp uploads is generally a really really really really really bad idea.
[19:06] <arnath> Enselic_: that's one of my questions, i don't know if it is possible at all
[19:06] <gsuveg> anybody have an idea ?
[19:06] <wanderley> hi
[19:06] <arnath> YeTr2: it's on a closed LAN and i trust everyone there ;)
[19:06] <Enselic_> arnath: and if it's not posible I know that vsftpd can be configured to let anons create dirs
[19:07] <YeTr2> arnath: it's still a really really really bad idea
[19:07] <Enselic_> arnath: anon_create_dir=YES   is the option, or similar
[19:07] <wanderley> how I install the ubuntu 7.10 using the iso?
[19:07] <wanderley> I have the iso of ubuntu 7.10
[19:07] <arnath> YeTr2: why exactly? they have no execute rights or anything, just read/Write
[19:07] <arnath> Enselic_: ah will have a look
[19:07] <wanderley> desktop 7.10
[19:07] <green__> macogw: ok i cd into libburn the second time it showed up into ls and now i have in green libdax_msgs_to_xyz_msgs.sh
[19:07] <Enselic_> !iso | wanderley
[19:07] <ubotu> wanderley: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[19:07] <Jack_Sparrow> private_guy: run this and then paste it to the pastebin and someone will be able to help you better..  sudo fdisk -l > ~/Desktop/Partition.Layout.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T).txt
[19:07] <YeTr2> arnath: you would be suprised at how much touble can becaused with write permissions
[19:08] <Enselic_> wanderley: nm that bot. Anyway you need to burn the .iso onto a CD, then reboot with the CD in the computer
[19:08] <arnath> YeTr2: the only other option is to make 1 user who can do the exact same thing and give everyone that user, so might as well do it with anonymous ay?
[19:08] <pike_> wanderley: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation  might be  a good starting place for various options
[19:08] <Enselic_> wanderley: you might need to configure BIOS to try to boot from the CD before it tries the HD
[19:08] <wanderley> yeah
[19:08] <rohan> in a given directory, how do i find recursively find all the files that do not belong to any package ? find | xargs dpkg -S | grep "not found" is giving false positives
[19:08] <wanderley> I mounted iso and I used the apt-cdrom
[19:08] <YeTr2> arnath: since you are on a lan, I would think about doing NFS/SMB instead.
[19:08] <wanderley> but when I try to update with update-manager it try download the files
[19:09] <joey_> my sound skips when i play a mp3 why ? and it makes me cpu 100% in used
[19:09] <Karnage> is there a way to disable a usb device, i have its device ID
[19:09] <Evanlec> whats easiest to setup a quick ftp server for myself when im away? proftpd, vsftp, or pure-ftp?
[19:09] <marko-_-> i wanna compile someting but i get this output http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44529/ but i have openssl on my machine... anyway any suggestions ?:s
[19:09] <arnath> YeTr2: it's a one-time setup
[19:09] <rohan> marko-_-: sudo aptitude install openssl-dev
[19:10] <marko-_-> thanks
[19:10] <marko-_-> and for other stuff ?
[19:10] <najsel> the direct rendering works really fine now thanks!
[19:10] <rohan> marko-_-: just remember whenever you want to compile anything from source on debian based systems, you need to install pkg foo and corressponding package foo-dev or foo-devel
[19:10] <Enselic_> marko-_-: apt-cache search for the right package (it sohould end in -dev)
[19:10] <green__> macogw:?
[19:10] <pablo__> hi
[19:10] <Enselic_> pablo__: Hi!!
[19:11] <marko-_-> rohan, well the thing is i don't compile much and i didn't understand nothing what you said right now
[19:11] <YeTr2> arnath: you say anon-write, I see goatse in your future.
[19:11] <rohan> marko-_-: well, what are you trying to compile ?
[19:11] <marko-_-> it's a secret :P
[19:11] <arnath> YeTr2: goatse?
[19:11] <lucio123> no one knows what I should do to run ZSNES (supernintendo emulator)?
[19:11] <vetruven> hello
[19:11] <rohan> marko-_-: well then figure out the dependencies and install the devel packages yourself ..
[19:11] <pablo__> do you guys know if it's possible through DHCP to request a block? say you have a network like <IP_ADDRESS>/16 and you want to reserve a block like <IP_ADDRESS>/24 for a different DHCP server to manage
[19:11] <marko-_-> rohan but if i tell you that everyone will flame me probably
[19:12] <Enselic_> lucio123: sudo apt-get install zsnes
[19:12] <vetruven> Hi can anyone help me with X?
[19:12] <Karnage> any ideas why i get significantly worse battery life in gutsy than feisty, i've already tried powertop and didnt help miuch
[19:13] <lucio123> enselic_ Thank you I try immediately
[19:13] <ccunarro> this is the only distribution i installed that works fine with wireless
[19:13] <pike_> vetruven: ?
[19:13] <Enselic_> vetruven: just ask please
[19:13] <Evanlec> Enselic_, no insallation candidate
[19:13] <soundray> I would like to run a kernel with CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEBUG enabled. Do I have to compile it, or is there an easier way?
[19:13] <desertc> Why does Ubuntu love to mute ALSA?
[19:14] <Enselic_> Evanlec: ?
[19:14] <Evanlec> Enselic_, for apt-get install zsnes
[19:14] <monstertje> Hey... im having trouble to get compiz-fusion working correctly on my ubuntu gutsy system...
[19:14] <monstertje> GTK Generally slows down when compiz-fusion is enabled without XGL
[19:14] <monstertje> and GTK Slows down with either compiz-fusion enabled or disabled without XGL
[19:14] <monstertje> im running an ATI Radeon X1650Pro 512MB vid card, AMD Athlon 64 3000+ (754) with 2.5GB memory... can anyone assist?
[19:14] <Enselic_> Evanlec: have you enabled all repos?
[19:14] <vetruven> i tried to install Nvidia legacy driver through envy - and X keep freezing after a minute or so of working
[19:14] <vetruven> any idias?
[19:15] <Evanlec> Enselic_, i believe so ya
[19:15] <Micc> I'm having an error while upgrading to 7.10. Can someone take a look, seems like a simple file not found problem. http://www.pastebin.ca/773730
[19:15] <Enselic_> Evanlec: weird, cause I can install it
[19:15] <Evanlec> Enselic_, is it cuz im on 64bit?
[19:15] <Enselic_> Evanlec: might very well be so, yes
[19:15] <FoSsiL> what is linux's commandline for dir?
[19:15] <tomd> hi, I've noticed my hard drive is very slow on ubuntu gutsy. I also noticed that my hdd's device name is /dev/sda but it is not a scsi drive. Is scsi emulation supposed to be faster? When I do hdparm /dev/sda, it does not print using_dma=1. Can you use dma while using scsi emulation? Thanks for any help in advance... I wanna convert some files.. its not going very fast this way
[19:15] <Marfi> FoSsiL, ls
[19:16] <FoSsiL> thnx
[19:16] <gerald> hi. i have trouble with german umlauts, anyone into encoding/locale stuff?
[19:16] <Enselic_> gerald: what does echo $LANG give you?
[19:17] <YeTr2> tomd: the /dev/ entries have been known to change from kernel version to kernel version
[19:17] <Evanlec> soundray, see here for compiling kernel:  ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=311158
[19:17] <lucio123> enselic_ I did it and the program is installed but when I click on the icon the square of the program opens just for 2 seconds and than it disappears......why?
[19:17] <Enselic_> lucio123: what program?
[19:18] <lucio123> zsnes
[19:18] <tomd> YeTr2: i had the impression that sda was for a scsi drive and hda was for an ide drive? am I mistaken? are you saying that it makes no difference whether my drive is called hda or sda?
[19:18] <YeTr2> tomd: none what so ever.
[19:18] <Enselic_> lucio123: does it say anything if you try to start it from a terminal?
[19:18] <Enselic_> like debug output
[19:18] <Micc> Can someone help me with this upgrade error? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44532/
[19:18] <Karnage> anyone else have power problems with gutsy on a laptop?
[19:19] <lucio123> enselic_ just one moment and I try from the terminal
[19:19] <tomd> :-/ do you know why it doesn't tell me I'm using dma when I do sudo hdparm /dev/sda? Anyone else here have an ide drive named sda on gutsy have hdparm behave in this way?
[19:19] <vetruven> how do i stop x?
[19:19] <Micc> ctrl-alt-backspace
[19:19] <Enselic_> lucio123: btw your IRC client probably has auto completion so you can write my name with Ens<TAB>
[19:19] <musashi> okay, checking out ffmpeg but it's a bit "complex" for me. Is there a simple tool that i can say open an .avi or other format video and say bang - transcode this to this size?
[19:19] <Enselic_> vetruven: I usually do   sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[19:19] <vetruven> not restart - stop
[19:19] <vetruven> thnx
[19:20] <Enselic_> musashi: not that I know of unfrotunetly
[19:20] <Karnage> anyone else have decreased battery life with gutsy?
[19:20] <vetruven> do you know of any other oautomated scripts like envy for video drivers?
[19:20] <lucio123> Enselic_, (Thank you) I don't use the IRC program a lot....
[19:20] <tomd> i am concerned because it takes close to twenty minutes for me to convert mp3's to wav to burn a cd
[19:21] <musashi> Enselic_: okay, thanks. i was hoping vlc or k9copy would. k9copy probably would have from the original but now i just have an avi that is too big.
[19:21] <Enselic_> Karnage: spamming the same question over and over is a good way to reduce battery life ;)
[19:21] <BizNiz> does anyone have gutsy on a toshiba satellite a135-s7404 in here ?
[19:21] <asathoor> hi
[19:22] <pike_> tomd: using what buring app?
[19:22] <idefix> can you install in windows safe mode?
[19:22] <pike_> tomd: nm
[19:22] <tomd> serpentine, or brasero
[19:23] <tomd> i was using that burn script.. i think if i do an individual file it doesn't change
[19:23] <dp6ai> anyone know why my keyboard might have stopped working. it was fine yesterday but now the keys qweruiop dont work
[19:23] <Andycass1> Could someone help me out with route command? Im trying to make my eth1:1 interface to be the default host (<IP_ADDRESS>), rather than the eth1 interface (<IP_ADDRESS>)
[19:23] <nox-Hand> How would I easily share same keyboard+mouse between 2-3 computers that are set up side by side by sending over network?
[19:23] <tomd> how long does it usually take anyone here to burn a cd on their gutsy box.. specifically the file conversion time, not the actually burning
[19:23] <lucio123> Enselic_, I get the following msg "unable to poll /dev/input/event6. make sure you have read permissions to it.... (what do you think?)
[19:23] <I3ooI3oo> sfire thanks I got it to work now
[19:24] <I3ooI3oo> sfire couldn't get the gnome-ppp to work but wvdial does
[19:24] <dp6ai> without those keys working i cant login

[19:24] <tomd>  is that very slow?
[19:24] <Enselic_> lucio123: what does   ls -l /dev/input/event6   give you?
[19:24] <Iradigalesc> hello! Which is the best form to install Ubuntu in a laptop without a CD driver? Is it possible?
[19:25] <YeTr2> Iradigalesc: you can try thumddrive
[19:25] <pike_> Andycass1: example: 1) route add -net <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS> dev whatever  2) route add default gw <IP_ADDRESS>   <-- sorta
[19:25] <monstertje> you could try installing it with thumddrive or ... PXE
[19:25] <dp6ai> any ideas on this keyboard issue? or which channel would be best?
[19:25] <merovingian> hi guys, how do i password protect a folder on Ubuntu?
[19:25] <lucio123> Enselic_, this: crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 70 2007-11-14 16:46 /dev/input/event6
[19:25] <BizNiz> has anyone had troubles with a toshiba satellite a135-s7404 and gutsy other than sound ?
[19:25] <Iradigalesc> YeTr2: Where can I obtain more information?
[19:26] <YeTr2> Iradigalesc: not sure.
[19:26] <u7us> hello, I'm trying to decide if Ubuntu server is right for my task. I don't need (or want) all the stuff that comes with most distributions. I really just want a network stack, sshd, vim, and a compiler. How hard is it to get a minimal Ubuntu server install without X, LAMP, etc....?
[19:26] <YeTr2> Andycass1: what are you trying to do anyways?
[19:26] <Enselic_> lucio123: hmm   well you could run zsnes as root but taht is dangerous
[19:26] <marko-_-> Checking for SAP/R3 (librfc/saprfc.h) ...
[19:26] <marko-_->                                       ... NOT found, module sapr3 disabled
[19:26] <Enselic_> lucio123: ON YOUR OWN RISK:   sudo zsnes
[19:26] <marko-_-> does someone know how to install this ?
[19:26] <pike_> tomd: mine with my regular old drive is 172MB in 3.52 seconds= 48.88 MB/sec
[19:26] <pike_> tomd: cache read is 602MB/sec
[19:26] <gordonjcp> Enselic_: it's not especially dangerous
[19:26] <Evanlec> pike_, cdrom or hd?
[19:26] <pike_> hd
[19:26] <Enselic_> gordonjcp: if zsnes is buggy it is
[19:27] <lucio123> Enselic_, no problem still doesn't work.....
[19:27] <jannen> I got desktop effect cant be enabled-msg. I try to set it at normal, have nvidia driver. Please can someone help me fix this? :)
[19:27] <soundray> Thanks Evanlec, I was hoping to be able to avoid compiling the entire kernel just to enable one debug flag...
[19:27] <pike_> well nm lol cdrom problem
[19:27] <vetruven> any idias why my computer freezes after nvidia drivers instal??
[19:27] <slatka_gv> aaaaa
[19:27] <Enselic_> lucio123: what does it say now?
[19:27] <slatka_gv> pozzzzzzzzzzzz
[19:27] <slatka_gv> svima
[19:27] <gordonjcp> Enselic_: no, if zsnes contains intentionally malicious code it is

[19:27] <lucio123> Enselic_,  I will try later (my wife is calling me for diner)
[19:27] <Enselic_> gordonjcp: no, if zsnes is buggy it can also be dangerous
[19:27] <ccunarro> how do i list all channels?
[19:27] <Marfi> vetruven, still freezes?
[19:27] <Myrtti> ankit: how about just paying for it
[19:27] <vetruven> a lot

[19:29] <tomd> my buffered disk read is 38.07mb/sec
[19:29] <musashi> merovingian: you could change the permissions to be for just you. would that work or do you want it encrypted?
[19:29] <Enselic_> lucio123: bye
[19:29] <ankit> ok
[19:29] <merovingian> musashi: i think encrypted would be the idea, i want when someone tries to open the folder, they will be prompted for a password
[19:30] <spider_> how can i mount ntfs drives in ubuntu gatsy?
[19:30] <pike_> tomd: im using readahead  256 io supp 32bit dma  nothing fancy
[19:30] <ankit> today i am sucessful to installed ie6

[19:30] <ubotu> spider_: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE

[19:30] <John_R> for testing websites in IE
[19:30] <_a2e_dod`TyraeL^> seek war 6v6 1.3 nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
[19:30] <CBiLL> how does one prevent ubuntu logging you out when you close the laptop lid?

[19:30] <j0hn> hello, may I pls ask a question about conky and hddtemp
[19:30] <AutoMatriX> does somebody know how to use the button on the stylus of a Toshiba M200 tablet PC ???
[19:30] <Enselic_> CBiLL: System -> Preferences -> Power management
[19:30] <tomd> pike_ would you do me the favor of pasting me your hdparm output in a /msg?
[19:31] <YeTr2> ankit: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page
[19:31] <jannen> I got desktop effect cant be enabled-msg. I try to set it at normal, have nvidia driver. propietry driver is install but the damn setting reverted so I cant change it Please can someone help me fix this?
[19:31] <CBiLL> enalert : thanks Ill check this
[19:31] <merovingian> enselic_: because there are nosy people around and i am always logged in, so they can just browse n look at my personal files, bank accs etc
[19:31] <tomd> pike_ i think that my hdparm settings aren't totally the best ever, it only shows 4 fields, IO_SUPPORT, readonly, readahead, and geometry
[19:31] <merovingian> enselic_: password would be the BEST not permissions
[19:31] <tomd> in the past when i used this program I saw more fields
[19:31] <musashi> merovingian: i'm not sure about just single file encryption but you could set up an encrypted partition --> http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/08/17/7-steps-to-an-encrypted-partition-local-or-removable-disk/
[19:31] <Enselic_> merovingian: well if you have sensisitve data you should be looged in
[19:31] <_a2e_dod`TyraeL^> seek war 6v6 1.3 nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
[19:32] <musashi> merovingian: i did this on a portable hard drive. works great
[19:32] <j0hn> is ther a way to make conky show hddtemp in fahrenheit
[19:32] <tomd> pike_ are you on gutsy?
[19:32] <pike_> tomd: i dont know if i fooled with mine much as long as i have dma and io is 32bit yeah gutsy
[19:32] <merovingian> musashi: okay thanks but still not what i am looking for. like in Windows, you can right click, and click encrypt(after installing a third party software)
[19:32] <sparr_w> ever since my upgrade to gutsy, i cannot print.  i get no indication of failure on my end, but the printer never gets the job.  i have tried re-"installing" the printer, and it is visible on the network, but the test page does not print.  help?
[19:32] <musashi> j0hn: not sure the exact variable but usually putting an "f" at the end does fahrenheit
[19:33] <tomd> pike_ i think for some reason that scsi emulation is turned on for my drive and I don't really want that
[19:33] <CBiLL> Enselic_ : no option in there to disable logging you off
[19:33] <tomd> thanks a lot for your help
[19:33] <tomd> it is much appreciated
[19:33] <j0hn> I tried that but then it gave no output
[19:33] <CBiLL> did I overlook something?
[19:33] <soundray> sparr_w: look at the files in /var/log/cups -- there may be an error logged
[19:33] <Ubuntupwns> I'm getting errors trying to become root when i do sudo su i get "Must be setuid root"
[19:34] <Enselic_> CBiLL: What does it say under "When laptop lid is closed" ?
[19:34] <soundray> Ubuntupwns: the recommended way to get a root shell is sudo -i
[19:34] <musashi> merovingian: truecrypt might do that but i'm not sure
[19:34] <Ubuntupwns> soundray, hmmm but ive never had probs before
[19:34] <Enselic_> Ubuntupwns: just su
[19:34] <sparr_w> soundray: aside from the logs showing GMT instead of local time, they indicate everything working normally.  localhost - - [14/Nov/2007:19:31:35 +0000] "POST /printers/copy_ricoh_ps_3 HTTP/1.1"<PHONE_NUMBER> Print-Job successful-ok
[19:34] <akince1> merovingian: Here's what I would do--1) Create a special user for this (test for example) 2) Create your desired folder 3) Configure Samba on your local machine 4) Give ONLY the user test permission to the folder 5) Create a link to the folder using the "Connect to Server" option and every time you open it, make sure you have "Forget password immediately" when you open it. So long as you close it when yo uare done, that should do it I believe
[19:34] <merovingian> musashi: thanks!! :) will i check that app out! :)

[19:38] <Ubuntupwns> How do i reset the root password?
[19:38] <CBiLL> Enselic_ : nothing in there that I can see to disable log off when laptop lid is closed
[19:38] <JebJoya> BizNiz: I believe there are issues with the new voice chat, but you can find out more in #winehq
[19:38] <soundray> Ubuntupwns: you don't. If you have to fix sudo, boot into recovery mode.
[19:38] <akince1> ankit: You will find that not everything works. If you use the latest version of WINE (0.9.49) you can get Word and Excel to work correctly (haven't tried Powerpoint) but Outlook will not. Access has never worked
[19:39] <Ubuntupwns> soundray, what do i do then?

[19:41] <akince1> I recommend the DEB
[19:41] <soundray> Ubuntupwns: that's the cause of your trouble then.
[19:41] <Ubuntupwns> soundray, what can i do other than reinstall?
[19:41] <akince1> 2) Follow the instructions here to get the latest WINE:  http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb

[19:45] <lunartear> someone please help me figure out my problem
[19:45] <soundray> Ubuntupwns: here's the fix -- slightly involved, but probably worth it.
[19:45] <lunartear> I had to install perl manually to get rid of threads, now I get errors like: Can't locate Debconf/Db.pm in @INC     How can reinstall the debconf perl modules or fix that?

[19:49] <soundray> Ubuntupwns: okay, virtualbox should offer you an option to boot the guest system from the CD again, instead of the virtual disk.
[19:49] <rabidweezle> I would say fsck fsck and fsck again, just cause I'd be soo angry
[19:49] <rambo3> newuser, you need live cd

[19:51] <Ernst> Is bluetooth 2.0 EDR (fast transfer) not supported?
[19:51] <rambo3> newuser, sudo grub-install /dev/partition

[19:52] <BizNiz> akince1, well im trying to get the partioning thing better but im not sure if i should keep windows or not
[19:52] <j0hn> ok, i guess not :-(
[19:52] <soundray> Ubuntupwns: have a look at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44534/ -- it shows you what to do. Ask if something doesn't make sense
[19:52] <mcp_dk> ever since the laste update my PC is highly unstable and programs shuts down unexpectedly. I run 7.10. IS there any system log i can check to see why my programs shuts down?

[19:53] <j0hn> oh, ok thank you soundray

[19:57] <ganjistus> maybe alien?
[19:57] <Telstar> um no it is not a made up word

[19:57] <raintheory>  hey all, quick Rhythmbox question:   Is there a way to scan the library for dead entries?   I've renamed a bunch of files so i have tons of duplicate entries now.  half of which are dead..

[19:57] <Telstar> Swahili
[19:57] <The_Machine> when did Africa start being spelled with a K?
[19:57] <soundray> FoSsiL: it means "I can't install Debian"
[19:57] <BizNiz> is an ethic or humanist philosophy focusing on people's allegiances and  relations with each other. The word has its origin in the Bantu languages of  Southern Africa. Ubuntu is seen as a traditional African concept
[19:57] <The_Machine> soulrider_, :))
[19:58] <The_Machine> er, soulrider_ even
[19:58] <ganjistus> i think the Pleiadians hijacked deb Ian, and she came back to earth with a ubuntu linux in her hands
[19:58]  * The_Machine hits self
[19:58] <FoSsiL> so ubuntu was created in Africa?
[19:58] <The_Machine> FoSsiL, nah.
[19:58] <BizNiz> Fossil, LoL
[19:58] <Jimmytakeover> is it safe to upgrade to gutsy gibbon?

[19:59] <The_Machine> Jimmytakeover, you don't have an external disk you can back up to?
[19:59] <The_Machine> heck, back up to some free online storage
[19:59] <sylverfox> akince1:  after i activate the resticted deiver to have 3D, and reboot i get to failsafe
[20:00] <The_Machine> it isn't going to kill your filesystem..
[20:00] <The_Machine> (an upgrade)
[20:00] <Telstar> route add default gw <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:00] <The_Machine> so you don't have to back up your mp3s, etc.
[20:00] <minus198> What program is good to convert * videofiles to mp4 H.264? I want to play them on my iPod
[20:00] <CBiLL> how do you enable suspend-to-ram
[20:00] <The_Machine> your porn collection.
[20:00] <akince1> sylverfox: Are you trying to configure dual monitors?
[20:00] <sylverfox> akince1: no
[20:00] <Telstar> akince- I am. (sort of)
[20:00] <Ubuntupwns> soundray, im back
[20:00] <The_Machine> minus198, google it - there are free options all over
[20:00] <minus198> Telstar, "Sort of" xD
[20:00] <sylverfox> akince1: i just need 3D
[20:00] <Telstar> I just want to turn on the external monitor on my Dell Insprion
[20:00] <The_Machine> sylverfox, use the restricted drivers
[20:01] <Telstar> In winblows there is a management app
[20:01] <sylverfox> i do
[20:01] <Telstar> not sure how to do this in Ubuntu !
[20:01] <sylverfox> The_Machine: i do
[20:01] <sylverfox> The_Machine: but it doesn't work after reboot
[20:01] <zias> Telstar: "windblows" - on purpose?
[20:01] <Ernst> Gutsy has a bleutootstack supporting bluetooth 2.0, then why is bluetooth 2.0 EDR (fast transfer) not supported?
[20:01] <rambo3> newuser, sudo e2fsck -b32768 -B4096 /dev/(ubuntu parition hda1)
[20:02] <Telstar> zias- well i didn't type that by accident
[20:02] <Telstar> ;-P
[20:02] <zias> ha ok
[20:02] <sylverfox> akince1: i think there is a problem when loadin the modeules, this is whz i whould need a godd xorg.conf
[20:02] <ganjistus> yeah otherwise use edbuntu
[20:02] <Telstar> but seriously I need to turn on the ext monitor port
[20:02] <LaserLine> How do I change the notification daemon theme?
[20:02] <Telstar> never done this b4 !
[20:02] <ganjistus> i don't know
[20:03] <ganjistus> maybe on the sourcecode
[20:03] <akince1> sylverfox: I'll get my xorg.conf later and email you a copy if you want
[20:03] <ganjistus> and recompile it
[20:03] <sylverfox> akince1: sure, when?
[20:03] <Andycass1> Telstar: Does this route command stay after I reboot?
[20:03] <raintheory> sylverfox, i have that nVidia card on my laptop running gutsy
[20:03] <akince1> Telstar: Dual monitors on an FX5200 was only accomplished when I hand edited xorg.conf
[20:04] <sylverfox> raintheory: could you send me your xorg.conf?
[20:04] <akince1> sylverfox: I will be home around 6PM Eastern or so
[20:04] <tommax1083> hi all, anyone know a software for analyze asterisk net that can use with ubuntu?
[20:04] <The_Machine> sylverfox, here is mine:  http://www.nomorepasting.com/getpaste.php?pasteid=6640
[20:04] <raintheory> sylverfox, sure, iu have compiz running though...  is that ok?

[20:05] <nareshov> 01:35 :)
[20:05] <sylverfox> raintheory: how do i check that?
[20:05] <The_Machine> sylverfox, might want to talk in #nvidia :)
[20:05] <Jimmytakeover> akince1, lol, hung up still?
[20:06] <maxman> Hi. I'm having troubles with Metacity/Compiz-Fusion. The window borders, to be exact. When I booted my computer, the fonts of the window title was terribly big. Than I checked the font settings in 'Preferences' > 'Appearance' and the font is 9 points. 9 points would be just perfect but in fact it is way bigger. And the font seems to be unchangable. Han anyone help me to get the font smaller again, please?  Thanks, The_Machine
[20:07] <raintheory> sylverfox, check what?     -also just noticed while looking at my xorg.conf...   i've got a FXgo5100, not 5200
[20:07] <sylverfox> The_Machine: ok mazbe i will trz again, if i can't magane
[20:07] <Andycass1> Could someone help me out with route command? Im trying to make my eth1:1 interface to be the default host (<IP_ADDRESS>), rather than the eth1 interface (<IP_ADDRESS>)
[20:07] <sylverfox> raintheory: how do i check if i have compiy running?
[20:07] <ganjistus> i ask cohagen
[20:08] <zapakitul> back
[20:08] <Andycass1> The "route add default gw hostname interface" doesnt work, it only makes it able to go to routers site
[20:08] <Grexeo> is network mounting home directories safe?
[20:08] <_a2e_dod`TyraeL^> seek war 1.3 nowwwwwwwwwwwww skill low !!!!!!!!!!
[20:09] <raintheory> sylverfox, , system / preferences / appearance - visual effects tab..
[20:09] <Andycass1> If I try to ping, i get the IP and all, but it fails?
[20:09] <Sonjaaa> is there a way to install ubuntu dual boot from winxp, such that it will partition and take a chunk off a hard drive, without risk of damaging the data?
[20:09] <Andycass1> I can ping my LAN ips
[20:09] <raintheory> sylverfox, here is my xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44537/
[20:10] <Jimmytakeover> Sonjaaa, its easier if you create a primary partition from within windows using some disk partition tool and then use it during the ubuntu installation.
[20:10] <r00723r0> hi, my mplayer isn't dying
[20:11] <r00723r0> i am doing sudo killall -s9 mplayer
[20:11] <r00723r0> the process closes and reopens
[20:11] <Terrasqu1> well, that was a new one. Whats launching it?
[20:11] <sylverfox> thanks raintheory and The_Machine for the xorg.conf, no i try to gues what is the difference from mine
[20:11] <r00723r0> i have no clue
[20:11] <r00723r0> but it's eating up my processor
[20:11] <Sonjaaa> Jimmytakeover ok
[20:12] <raintheory> sylverfox, good luck.   ...   what are ytou having problems with anyway?
[20:12] <Sonjaaa> i'll use partitionmagic then
[20:13] <r00723r0> anyone know?
[20:13] <soundray> Sonjaaa: I don't agree with Jimmytakeover's advice
[20:14] <The_Machine> Sonjaaa, i disagree as well
[20:14] <shortjohn> i have a dsl connection but no router. do i have to install my modem? if not, how can i find out which is the correct device in /dev/* ? thanks
[20:14] <moparfan90> hello. does anyone know if there is a how to on compiz fusion with ubuntu 7.10?
[20:14] <mike3_> shortdon, you need to use ppp
[20:14] <soundray> Sonjaaa: it's best to let the Ubuntu installer do the partitioning for you. It's designed to create a dual-boot system automatically.
[20:14] <mike3_> shortdon, There is plenty of guides on how to install this.
[20:14] <sylverfox> raintheory: after enableing the restricted driver and rebooting i get to failsafe
[20:14] <Sonjaaa> ok
[20:14] <sethk> Sonjaaa, I disagree with the disagreements.  It's a bug in windows, but I have seen windows get borked by creating a partition entirely outside any partition used for windows.
[20:14] <Sonjaaa> i was told i can lose data
[20:15] <Sonjaaa> if i let ubuntu partition for me
[20:15] <The_Machine> always back up your data before you partition with anything.
[20:15] <sethk> Sonjaaa, yes, because of a windows bug, you can.
[20:15] <The_Machine> :)
[20:15] <void^> Sonjaaa: if you are more comfortable with partitionmagic you should definitely use it.
[20:15] <sethk> Sonjaaa, but it is quite rare.
[20:15] <caetano> hello
[20:15] <sethk> Sonjaaa, there is, on the other hand, absolutely nothing wrong with creating the partition in windows.
[20:15] <Sonjaaa> how many gigs should i give to my new U: drive :)
[20:15] <caetano> how can I create grub's menu.lst ?
[20:15] <Sonjaaa> for ubuntu
[20:16] <Sonjaaa> i'm only really going to use linux for a couple of programs that don't exist for windows
[20:16] <raintheory> sylverfox, hmm...
[20:16] <Sonjaaa> like GRAMPS
[20:16] <sethk> Sonjaaa, that's windows talk, wwe don't have things like :U  (god, how incredibly ugly, looks like (ughh) VMS
[20:16] <sethk> Sonjaaa, if you have tons of space, allow 10 gig.  If not allow about 6 gig.
[20:16] <Sonjaaa> drive letters predated windows though, in dos :)
[20:16] <Sonjaaa> okay
[20:16] <Sonjaaa> thanks
[20:16] <sethk> Sonjaaa, they predated DOS in VMS, and I've hated them for 30 years.   :)
[20:16] <bwlang> Sonjaaa: probably you'd be happier with vmware instead... then you don' t have to reboot to run linux
[20:17] <Sonjaaa> what's vmware? virtual?
[20:17] <Sonjaaa> like a linux emulator?
[20:17] <sethk> Sonjaaa, right, a program that emulates the hardware
[20:17] <Sonjaaa> sweet
[20:17] <sethk> Sonjaaa, it's not just for linux, it's general purpose
[20:17] <Sonjaaa> is that hard to set up?
[20:17] <Sonjaaa> is there an irc chan for that?
[20:17] <sethk> Sonjaaa, you can run windows in it, you can run linux in it, you can run BSD in it, etc.
[20:17] <bwlang> Sonjaaa: sort of, it's hardware paravirtualization... it doesn't emulate so much as it passes through.  it's fast (maybe a 10% drop in speed) www.vmware.com
[20:17] <lunartear> How do I install debconf? apt-get dies cause debconf isnt installed
[20:18] <sethk> Sonjaaa, I believe there is an IRC channel.  AFAIK it isn't difficult to set up, but I haven't worked with it in several months.
[20:18] <Sonjaaa> will it slow down my winxp too? or just my linux?
[20:18] <soundray> Sonjaaa: it won't slow down Windows
[20:18] <Sonjaaa> ok
[20:18] <lunartear> soundray? any ideas
[20:18] <ziyax> ok finally backport and volatile packages fixed prob oh
[20:18] <ziyax> cya
[20:18] <sylverfox> raintheory: hmmm.....   hmmmm.....
[20:19] <Sonjaaa> vmware it is then
[20:19] <soundray> lunartear: do you have a deb for debconf in /var/cache/apt/archives/ ?
[20:19] <Myrtti> btw, there's plenty of software for windows that supports gedcom-files, for genealogy
[20:19] <nn> I had porn dvd playback working in fiesty, but suddenly it is gone in gutsy, this makes me sad :(
[20:20] <Sonjaaa> Myrtti what's a really good free multilingual windows genealogy software?
[20:20] <lunartear> soundray yes
[20:20] <Myrtti> Sonjaaa: not necessarily multilingual, but let me see
[20:20] <nn> Anyone familiar with viewing copy protected dvds on gutsy? :)
[20:20] <Sonjaaa> i want it to be multilingual, so i can know the kinship term from one person to another person, in french, english, and whatever else is supported
[20:20] <soundray> lunartear: see if you can install it with 'sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/debconf*deb

[20:22] <nn> soundray: :( any ideas on dvd playback? Itll play regular dvds but not uhh..adult ones
[20:22] <lunartear> i had to install perl manually to get rid of threads
[20:22] <raintheory> sylverfox, i think i had a similar problem with feisty...   don't remember how i fixed it though
[20:23] <Andycass1> Is there a way to play udp in mplayer?=
[20:23] <sylverfox> ufff, i had it once fixed, just adding some lines to xorg.conf; this is whaz i'm asking for that file
[20:23] <soundray> nn: no, sorry
[20:23] <nn> :(
[20:23] <sylverfox> raintheory: i try to see what i have done

[20:23] <PuppiesAtWork> How can I truncate a file to 0 bytes on the CLI?

[20:24] <nareshov> how do I get SCIM working with firefox/thunderbird ?
[20:24] <akince1> don't use that very much
[20:24] <theTrav> also I grabbed the 'blue swirl' logon screen, but it doesn't appear to be recognised by gutsy
[20:24] <theTrav> I had it working on fiesty
[20:24] <soundray> akince1: no, that's not it ( PuppiesAtWork )
[20:25] <akince1> soundray: Interesting. When I do that for a file that doesn't exist, I get a 0 byte file
[20:25] <noob69> hello everyone
[20:25] <nareshov> yo noob69
[20:25] <soundray> akince1: that's not what the question was about, though
[20:25] <akince1> It doesn't truncate though
[20:25] <akince1> exactly

[20:27] <hitman51> are you u guys experienced with ati graphics cards?
[20:27] <noob69> i have installed the odbc driver for win xp

[20:29] <moparfan90> hello. when i try to enable compiz in my 7.10 install it says i dont have composite extention installed. any ideas?
[20:29] <jaroz> i must use nvidia settings every time to change resolution
[20:29] <hitman51> installed my ati drivers but when i go to appearance > visual effects and click extra i get an error saying composite not available....what does that mean? and how do i fix it?
[20:29] <jaroz> thats kinda weird
[20:29] <soundray> lunartear: they are in the debconf package. You've got a classic catch 22. How did you get into this situation?
[20:30] <lunartear> soundray i told you
[20:30] <bakarat> hi, i have an openvpn server running (on linux), it uses a tap device, now if i wish to connect with my laptop to the openvpn, i'm having some trouble routing the traffic through the correct interface, sometimes everything gets routed through the openvpn, sometimes through the original connection, and unless i can manually direct it (like with ping), i can't seem to set the priority of the interfaces?
[20:30] <Terrasqu1> hitman51: that i can answer :) The ati drivers in gutsy (or the newest for that matter iirc) dont support compiz
[20:30] <lunartear> soundray i had to reinstall perl manually to get rid of threads
[20:30] <hitman51> so where can i get drivers that support compiz?
[20:31] <lunartear> soundray, how is it a catch 22 if the system installs it in a state without debconf in the first place
[20:31] <Terrasqu1> hitman51: or more precise, the fglrx drivers ATI have released. There are decent open source drivers for some of the ati cards iirc. Radeon series I think
[20:31] <soundray> lunartear: debconf is probably in the seed archive
[20:31] <adac2> hwat is wrong with my clock and date settings? I activated serveral time servers but I always get the wrong time...
[20:32] <lunartear> soundray: seed archive?
[20:32] <hitman51> where can i get them
[20:32] <hitman51> i have ati raedon express 200
[20:33] <soundray> lunartear: I have only rudimentary knowledge, but I think when you install, the first thing that goes onto your disk is a "seed" system that is unpacked from a .tar.gz
[20:33] <lunartear> soundray, well there's gotta be a way to install it
[20:33] <lunartear> :(
[20:33] <hitman51> umm Terrasqul u still there?
[20:34] <soundray> lunartear: anyway, what you should do is read man dpkg to find out how to unpack a package (sorry, I don't know how offhand) and put the components into place with cp
[20:34] <igor47> i have this other distro of linux installed on a laptop.  can i try installing ubuntu over it, or will all sorts of things get messed up?
[20:34] <soundray> lunartear: the components of debconf, I mean
[20:34] <kim_>  Hi I think I am having trouble with my pcmcia hardware.
[20:34] <kim_>   I have a Belkin F5D7010 I read the wiki and installed the drivers as described I also went to the NDISWRAPPER site and read the information on the hardware. I tried the suggested realtek driver but NDISWRAPPER says it can't detect the hardware under that driver
[20:34] <kim_>   I spoke with someone at the ndiswrapper channel who said I was likely haveing probs with my pcmcia hardware and suggested that I get the new utils prob is I don't know how to  install them
[20:34] <kim_>   can anyone help
[20:35] <jorgerosa> Hello all

[20:35] <squish102> is there a tool to make an install image of an existing ubuntu installation, to move it to a new computer?

[20:38] <Paddy_EIRE> FoSsiL, still no

[20:38] <soundray> kim_: it's a hardware issue then. Probably best to get a USB wifi adapter
[20:38] <Jimmytakeover> what does that mean btw?
[20:38] <Jimmytakeover> use kde on gnu?
[20:38] <nox-Hand> Is there a guide to setting up Ubuntu optimally for older computers? =)
[20:39] <Paddy_EIRE> Jimmytakeover, he means kde apps in gnome
[20:39] <kim_> soundray it worked under windows
[20:39] <noob69> what command do you use to edit using gnome text editor to be able to save as su
[20:39] <Paddy_EIRE> !sudo | noob69
[20:39] <ubotu> noob69: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[20:40] <Jimmytakeover> yep, yep. in fact its safe to say my linux experience wouldnt be complete without a few useful kde apps like amaroK and kopete
[20:40] <soundray> kim_: okay, maybe it isn't then, but I can't really tell you where to begin if lspci doesn't list your PCMCIA bridge. Do feel free to ask the channel again, of course.
[20:40] <kim_> ok
[20:41] <yoshx> hello
[20:41] <Jimmytakeover> soundray, umm...regarding earlier, I was telling Sonjaaa to use a 3rd party windowz app for the reasons stated by sethk. I've never trusted ubuntu's installer/partitioner unless i've got a fresh disk exclusively for it
[20:41] <soundray> kim_: a generic hint is to go to http://www.tuxmobil.org and look for Linux installation reports on your specific model. Perhaps someone had the same problem and solved it.
[20:42] <zechs> I uninstalled and then installed compiz on my ubuntu 7.10, but it's still not working... how do I 'activate' the settings I've chosen?
[20:42] <kim_> Ok didnt try there yet
[20:42] <Whitor> hi... How can I see if I'm running XGL AIGLX or FGLRX ?
[20:42] <soundray> Jimmytakeover: my allegiance is quite the opposite. I've seen too many people crying their eyes out over botched Partition Magic results
[20:43] <jorgerosa> zechs,  sistem --> preferences --> Advanced Desktop...
[20:43] <sethk> Whitor, read the X log in /var/log
[20:43] <Whitor> sethk: there is a command ...
[20:43] <soundray> Jimmytakeover: I trust ubiquity's partitioning with no hesitation
[20:44] <Bribles> how does one get ls -la to list .hidden files first, then Capitalized files, then lowercase files?
[20:44] <zechs> jorgerosa of course I did that, but for example when I went to system --> prefs ---> appearance ---> visual effects, it wont let me use the "Extra" setting
[20:44] <sethk> Whitor, if you know the answer, why are you asking the question?  Also, there are multiple ways of determining the same information.
[20:44] <Terrasqu1> Jimmytakeover: I trust open source more than partition magic. PM have a nasty habit of royally fucking up things
[20:44] <zechs> I am pretty sure this laptop can handle compiz, since my older thinkpad R51 could handle beryl, and this is a thinkpad X61
[20:44] <chazco> Anyone able to help with http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=608760 ?
[20:44] <PuppiesAtWork> On the CLI, what is the difference between | and > ?
[20:45] <PuppiesAtWork> like, why do I do cat /dev/null > file.txt and not cat /dev/null | file.txt
[20:45] <noob69> so if i want to use gnome application Text Editor as a sudo user, what command usage do i type to run application text editor
[20:45] <sethk> PuppiesAtWork, because file.txt is not a command
[20:45] <Terrasqu1> PuppiesAtWork: | redirects from stdout to stdin, but > redirects stdout to a device / file
[20:45] <PuppiesAtWork> ah
[20:45] <Jimmytakeover> soundray, me cool, man, me cool :D its just that i understand how fdisk and grub works individually better than have it done through ubiquity. if i use another distro like gentoo, i am always able to easily fix mbr/bootloader gotchas.
[20:45] <jorgerosa> zechs, Ops, ok man. But plz check if 3D is avaiable, if not try restricted drivers
[20:46] <Jimmytakeover> but for some reason i've never got the expected results with ubuntu installer :\
[20:46] <sethk> PuppiesAtWork,   |   is a pipe.  it means route the standard output from the left side of  |  to the standard input of the right side of   |
[20:46] <PuppiesAtWork> i see
[20:46] <Terrasqu1> PuppiesAtWork: < redirects from device / file to stdin iirc :)
[20:46] <FoSsiL> do you guys use such program like "Fslint" and "KleanSweep" to clean out linux? so which one is good? i need something like "Ccleaner"
[20:46] <sethk> PuppiesAtWork, there is a syntax |&, supported by some shells, which means redirect both standard out and standard error, so it can be a bit confusing.
[20:47] <PuppiesAtWork> So then "cat file.txt" would be the same as "cat < file.txt" ?
[20:47] <Andycass1> how do i route eth1:1 ip to be default??
[20:47] <Terrasqu1> FoSsiL: rm -rf always seem to work fine for me
[20:47] <sethk> PuppiesAtWork, yes
[20:47] <cyris> hey everyone. how do i go about resetting a users gnome configuration? my user account can't seem to right click the desktop, i get no menu that drops down :/
[20:47] <jorgerosa> zechs, check if in "visual effects", "extra" and "custom" buttons are avayable, if not, you need drivers
[20:47] <cyris> also my wallpaper doesn't display
[20:47] <sethk> Andycass1, you use the route command to add a route, beginning with:   route add default ....
[20:48] <sethk> Andycass1, the man page for route has examples
[20:48] <Terrasqu1> cyris: most of the gnome config is hidden in ~/.gnome
[20:48] <JebJoya> hey, am currently installing ubuntu onto a friend's pc, just wondering if there's an easy way to set it up so software (mainly from add/remove) will be installed onto his second hard disk (can't install ubuntu onto it, GRUB + old bios issues)
[20:48] <cyris> Terrasqu1: K i'll try that out
[20:48] <winterelf> Hey, i just installed a fresh copy of ubuntu7.10, and i want to apply the compiz-manager, what packages should i install ?
[20:48] <ZiRo`> i cant start azureus
[20:48] <Andycass1> sethhk: Ive seen the man page, I got very confused
[20:48] <soundray> JebJoya: it's not exactly easy, but there is a way
[20:48] <FoSsiL> what does "rm -rf" do? do you have to provide a path to that? or it automatically searches for junk files?
[20:48] <Andycass1> Could you please give me an example synopsis
[20:48] <zechs> jorgerosa those buttons are there, but when i try selecting them after a bit it says "Desktop effects could not be enabled"--what kind of drivers would I be looking for?
[20:48] <ZiRo`> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/eclipse/swt/widgets/Display
[20:49] <ZiRo`> how do i "restart" java to free up that thread
[20:49] <cyris> Terrasqu1: Wait a sec, I've deleted that directory and restarted, still can't set wallpapers or even right click the desktop background :/
[20:49] <JebJoya> soundray: you got a link or search term?  couldn't find anything when i googled...
[20:49] <Terrasqu1> cyris: is the issue there if you make a new user too?
[20:49] <soundray> JebJoya: no, sorry. I can give you a coarse outline, though
[20:49] <jorgerosa> zechs, ok. it says that because you have no drivers... you are using Nvidia or ATI?
[20:49] <sethk> Andycass1, route add default gw ###.###.###.###     the ### are the IP of eth1:1
[20:49] <JebJoya> soundray: yeah, i'd be more than happy with that :)
[20:50] <cyris> Terrasqu1: Nope :/
[20:50] <sethk> Andycass1, I left out a piece, wait
[20:50] <markon> hi all
[20:50] <JebJoya> soundray: (so annoying about the bios issue though, kept getting a grub error 18 when it was installed on his new hdd)
[20:50] <winterelf> Hey, i just installed a fresh copy of ubuntu7.10, and i want to apply the compiz-manager, what packages should i install ?
[20:50] <Terrasqu1> cyris: btw, renaming is usually better than deleting :)
[20:50] <Andycass1> sethk: Ive tried that command, didnt do the trick. When i ping, it resolves host's name into ip. I can ping LAN ip's though
[20:50] <zechs> jorgerosa I'm not even sure, lspci returns "Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics"
[20:51] <spiderfire> hello
[20:51] <jorgerosa> zechs, ok, np. Lets do this...
[20:51] <sethk> Andycass1, route add default gw ###.###.###.###  eth1:1      where ###.###.###.### is the IP of the gateway, not eth1:1 (sorry about the initial incorrect answer)
[20:51] <cyris> Terrasqu1: probably right, tho it remakes those dirs if they don't exist
[20:51] <spiderfire> is my screen really running at 50hz?
[20:51] <soundray> JebJoya: best to operate from a live CD. Create an ext3 partition on the second hard disk. From the installed root, copy /usr/* over to the new partition. Then edit /etc/fstab so it mounts the new partition at boot.
[20:51] <markon> i recently changed from Ubuntu 7.04 (and was able to connect to printers via ip address direclty very easily)  to ubuntu 7.10 and cannot get printers to connect via ipaddress
[20:51] <markon> any suggestions?
[20:52] <Terrasqu1> cyris: Well.. If I was in your situation I would first check all the . files in the homedir, and nuke or rename everything that seems to be connected to gnome and similar. If that didnt help I would back up homedir data, and nuke the whole homedir
[20:52] <Andycass1> sethk, yes i got the right gateway and everything, but it still doesnt work
[20:52] <cyris> Terrasqu1: Ok i'll try that out
[20:52] <Jimmytakeover> FoSsiL, what do you mean junkfiles? cached packages?
[20:52] <JebJoya> soundray: can't do it with a livecd (won't run) but i can work it with the alternate cd... think i can manage that
[20:52] <Andycass1> sethk: I think its IP fault, the first one is non standard, they are both on same netmask
[20:52] <winterelf> hey all!! what packages should i install to start using the compiz-fusion effects on my desktop?
[20:53] <jorgerosa> zechs, Go to "System" --> "Admnistration" --> "Restricted Drivers Manager",  if is something there, please do "Apply"
[20:53] <sethk> Andycass1, yes, that's not allowed.  If IP sees the packet as belonging to the local network, the routing table is not consulted.
[20:53] <soundray> JebJoya: you can do it from the booted system as well -- just make sure there is a clean cut and you don't use the old /usr/ anymore once it's copied over.
[20:53] <cyris> Terrasqu1: brb
[20:53] <sethk> Andycass1, if it's the local network, why do you care which interface it uses?
[20:53] <JebJoya> yeah, gparted will deal with it ok won't it?  is everything installed to /usr/share then in general?
[20:53] <sylverfox> jorgerosa: that's not enough, i have done that, and till that i can't use the X server
 cached packages, brokenlinks, temps, dependence programs, etc
[20:54] <sethk> Andycass1, you can reverse the order of defining the interfaces, then the second one will be first and will be used for local packets.
[20:54] <markon> Hi Winterfelf,  i noticed on 7.04 i added compiz and other 3d effect and they worked great, i had to manually install a video driver on this old Dell 8100 im running it on, but it worked great,  for what ever reason, i can t get the preset of compiz to work on 7.10
[20:54] <jorgerosa> sylverfox, ok... let me search here...
[20:54] <spiderfire> is there a way to change my refresh rate higher then 50 hz?
[20:54] <sethk> spiderfire, of course
[20:54] <sylverfox> jorgerosa: as my xorg.conf changes from "nv" from "nvidia" after reboot, i get to Failsafe
[20:54] <Andycass1> sethk: I need the first one to be the non standard, thanks to this, I can watch IPTV
[20:54] <sethk> spiderfire, at 50hz I'd die of migrain in about two hours.
[20:54] <newbee> hello
[20:54] <markon> hi Spiderfire,  check to makesure you use the newest video card drivers (may need restricted ones)
[20:54] <Andycass1> The second one should give me access to the internet, but it doesnt
[20:54] <soundray> JebJoya: no, the majority of files in each package go somewhere under /usr -- to check whether this is true for an individual package, look at dpkg -L packagename
[20:55] <newbee> im noob on ubuntu and i need some hlep
[20:55] <zechs> jorgerosa I see only the message "Your hardware does not need any restricted drivers"
[20:55] <sylverfox> no matter that i have installed, the restricted driver
[20:55] <Andycass1> The same technique worked in xp..
[20:55] <zechs> jorgerosa and there's just a "close" button
[20:55] <sethk> Andycass1, I'm confused.  If the both have the same netmask, either interface can talk to the gateway.
[20:55] <newbee> hello, ?m noob on ubuntu and ? need some help
[20:55] <sethk> Andycass1, so as long as the default route is to the gateway ...
[20:55] <spiderfire> i dont think its possible to get this at a better refresh rate
[20:55] <soundray> newbee: feel free to ask, be precise, and keep it all on one line.
[20:55] <jorgerosa> zechs, ok. 1 sec
[20:55] <JebJoya> soundray: ah, ok, cool, but all in /usr then :)  I'll get this set up later this evening - thanks for the help soundray :) (almost went with the eBay style GREAT SERVICE A++++++++++ thing, but decided against it ;) )
[20:55] <newbee> anyone want to help my ubuntu ?nstall plz pm me
[20:56] <Berkov> how I can have root gate in freenode???
[20:56] <sethk> Andycass1, eth1:1 is a virtual interface (that is, it isn't a separate card) so, performance-wise, it makes no difference which interface is used to talk to the gateway.
[20:56] <markon> i recently changed from Ubuntu 7.04 (and was able to connect to printers via ip address direclty very easily)  to ubuntu 7.10 and cannot get printers to connect via ipaddress
[20:56] <markon> any suggestions?
[20:56] <soundray> JebJoya: yw
[20:56] <Andycass1> hm okay, so i should just switch em?
[20:57] <EJChris> hello word

[20:57] <Codenut_> my password to unlock the keyboard as my primary user is not my su password, what gives?
[20:57] <Andycass1> sethk: Oh my god, the weirdest thing happened, it just started working

[20:57] <soundray> FiyaHazard: no. Remind me what it is?

[20:58] <markon> Anyone know about TCP printing in Ubuntu 7.10 ?
[20:58] <tevfikt> Hey.
[20:58] <jorgerosa> sylverfox, sry i was with zechs. Can u say again plz?
[20:59] <FiyaHazard> soundray: Joost is an online tv project by the skype guys http://www.joost.com/ its designed for windows but ive heard of people making it work on ubuntu using wine, ive been trying but i cant get it to launch the install goes smooth.
[20:59] <newbee> i ve intalled ubuntu on my computer  and i ve finished all the process, however i can not boot ubuntu when i open my computer, even my windows has damaged by  ubuntu and i cant open my pc, now i ve managed to open my pc with ubuntu anyway, and im at installing process again. where should i be careful?
[20:59] <markon> winterelf  try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions#head-23187ff8609335c10dbb55c6cdc4c1f47fddcda0
[20:59] <sylverfox> jorgerosa: sure, so when the driver "nv" changes to "nvidia" in my xorg.conf, and after i reboot i get in Failsafe
[20:59] <tevfikt> on Ubuntu 7.10 gaim changed to Pidgin.. I have difficulties with file transfer on Pidgin.. Do you have any idea why this is it?
[20:59] <zechs> jorgerosa Ok I'll give that a try =)
[20:59] <jorgerosa> zechs, :)
[20:59] <sylverfox> jorgerosa: even i have the driver installed
[20:59] <Tomc> #ensiie
[21:00] <soundray> FiyaHazard: sorry, I'm no good with wine
[21:00] <jorgerosa> sylverfox, r u using restricted NVidia drivers?
[21:00] <newbee>  i ve intalled ubuntu on my computer  and i ve finished all the process, however i can not boot ubuntu when i open my computer, even my windows has damaged by  ubuntu and i cant open my pc, now i ve managed to open my pc with ubuntu anyway, and im at installing process again. where should i be careful?
[21:00]  * soundray drinks wine, that's all
[21:00] <sylverfox> jorgerosa: yes
[21:00] <jorgerosa> sylverfox, oOoOo, should work fine... let me see...
[21:00] <FiyaHazard> soundray: its ok :)
[21:01] <sylverfox> jorgerosa: my aim is to have 3D, nothing else
[21:01] <sylverfox> jorgerosa: if you have any other solution ok for me
[21:01] <Pezz_> newbee: accept the defaults for the grub bootloader installation, and all should be ok
[21:01] <jorgerosa> sylverfox, you only havent 3D that is? but you can access to desktop, right?
[21:01] <soundray> newbee: have you already started installing the second time?
[21:02] <sylverfox> no
[21:02] <newbee> pezz_ im sorry but im a noob and i dunno where to accept that :)
[21:02] <sylverfox> i get to failsafe
[21:02] <sylverfox> jorgerosa: i get to failsafe, and that generates me a temporary xorg.conf
[21:02] <markon> hey silverfox, that sound like what happened to me
[21:02] <sylverfox> markon: what did you do?
[21:03] <soundray> newbee: have you already started installing the second time?
[21:03] <newbee> soundray: not yet
[21:03] <Pezz_> newbee: at the latter stage of ubuntu installation, you will be asked some quations about how you want the bootloader 9grub) to be installed, amnd where. Just accept the defaults. It should detect your windows installation too.
[21:03] <newbee> soundray: i ve also dont know how to reply ::)
[21:03]  * genii sips a coffee
[21:03] <jorgerosa> sylverfox, ok.  You tried: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg   ?
[21:03] <Pezz_> (grub), no 9grub)
[21:03] <markon> honestly i ended up wiping and reinstalling ubuntu, and left it without compiz
[21:03] <markon> but you can boot into failsage set your video card to a vga generic card
[21:03] <soundray> newbee: let's see if we can rescue your first installation. Can you open a terminal (Applications-Accessories)
[21:04] <markon> then boot normally and set it back to the one that owkrd
