[03:02] <Loomy11> I go to the site and I don't know whitch one to get can someone help me please?
[03:02] <Jack_Sparrow> wweasel: I would make a second ext partition, copy my /home folder to it and reinstall
[03:02] <wweasel> could I just copy it to my FAT32 partition?
[03:02] <joeljkp> i need libopenal.so.0; should i install libopenal0, or libopenal0a?
[03:02] <Jack_Sparrow> sure
[03:02] <Loomy11> sorry for my message making so many posts not sure why that happened
[03:02] <Jack_Sparrow> but that can have problems...
[03:03] <wweasel> Jack: why?
[03:03] <Jack_Sparrow> file length restrictions and such... but do it any way you want..
[03:04] <wweasel> argh. So there's no way of recovering my file system? Even though I suspect that it is intact?
[03:04] <Jack_Sparrow> wweasel:  Just my choice to use a spare ext3
[03:04] <Mikasuliel> for the 3rd and final time: can someone point me to someone/somewhere where i can receive help with this nautilus background error?
[03:04] <Jack_Sparrow> wweasel:  it could be recovered.. with enough time and effort.. If you had the knowledge..
[03:05] <skavenge> Mikasuliel: google for an answer or you can pay for help through ubuntu's website, i dont know where else to look
[03:05] <salah> I have a disk partition with all my stuff inside, has the label /, can I still make a partition inside it?
[03:06] <joeljkp> anyone? libopenal0 or libopenal0a?
[03:06] <Killeroid> Mikasuliel: will ya calm down,most of the peope here are volunteers and so ust ask politely
[03:06] <Killeroid> *just
[03:07] <Loomy11> is it okay for me to repost my question?
[03:07] <wweasel> Jack_Sparrow: Could you point me in the right direction if I wanted to try to see if it can be recovered?
[03:07] <Patrick_> ...
[03:07] <Mikasuliel> Killeroid: i have been trying to ask nicely, but ive asked 3 times over the span of  a half hour/45 minutes, and ive been ignored each time when people after me have asked for help
[03:07] <Patrick_> XGL is pissing me off like no other
[03:07] <Patrick_> this is bull shit

[03:08] <Ignite_> Patrick_, its alpha software.. it will be buggy..
[03:08] <Patrick_> it seems like its more trouble then good...
[03:08] <Patrick_> yes but this is outragious
[03:08] <Loomy11> When I try to install my Nvidia drivers I get this message:

[03:08] <Loomy11> I go to the site and I don't know whitch one to get can someone help me please?
[03:08] <skavenge> if people are not replying it most likely means no one knows the answer .. they are not just ignoring
[03:08] <david_> is there a program to copy dvd's?
[03:08] <wweasel> Mikasuliel: Probably no one knows the answer for you
[03:08] <hackel> Outrageous!  Patrick_ you should sue the developers!  Oh wait, that's YOU.
[03:08] <Ignite_> Patrick_, its not supposed to work properly... its not finished..
[03:08] <skavenge> Loomy11: what does java have to do with nvidia drivers?
[03:08] <Patrick_> I've spent....atleast 100+ hours getting it to work ignite_
[03:08] <Jack_Sparrow> wweasel: You are asking how high is up?   With yourcurrent level of knowledge you are better off reinstalling
[03:08] <Patrick_> hackel? wtf?
[03:08] <tanlaan> ok i have a problem, what piece of software would i use to run a shell script periodically?
[03:09] <zaudragon> hmmm, where should I ask about parted?
[03:09] <Loomy11> skavenge: i dont have any idea but it gives me that response every time i try.
[03:09] <Ignite_> Patrick_, well, you can't complain really, its alpha software, expect it to act like alpha software
[03:09] <hackel> Patrick_:  You have no one to blame for the software not working the way you want but YOURSELF.  Go get off your ass and fix it.
[03:09] <Patrick_> ignite_ well, I think it screwed up my video card drivers.
[03:09] <Mikasuliel> wweasel: ok, thats fine i understand that, then it would be nice if they could point me in a direction that would help me, and i already have googled it
[03:09] <Patrick_> hackel, I don't have time for assholes
[03:09] <skavenge> Loomy11: wish i could help but that ones got me baffled, i dont see how the two are connected
[03:09] <wweasel> !language
[03:09] <ubotu> Please watch your langage and keep this channel family friendly.
[03:09] <Patrick_> ...
[03:09] <Ignite_> Patrick_, its a completely different X server and its alpha software.. of course it did -_-
[03:09] <Patrick_> lol
[03:10] <hackel> Patrick_:  No but you have time to waste 100+ hours on something silly like that?    Just wait until it's done before playing with it and getting upset.
[03:10] <Patrick_> ignite_ fglrxinfo says "Unable to open display :0"
[03:10] <Patrick_> hackel, please spare me
[03:10] <adamant1988> hackel, when your car doesn't work the way you want, I get the feeling you take it to someone else to fix it after spending a hefty amount of time complaining.
[03:10] <joeljkp> anyone? libopenal0 or libopenal0a?
[03:11] <tanlaan> what would i use to run a shell script periodically?
[03:11] <Patrick_> ignite_ isant it supposed to use display :1?
[03:11] <david_> is there software that can copy a dvd?
[03:11] <hackel> adamant1988:  Exactly, I don't try to assemble a half-working prototype car when I know nothing about it and get upset that it doesn't work.
[03:11] <wweasel> Jack_Sparrow: I just don't want to give up and restart from scratch.  I am still able to see everything in my linux partition. I have booted it successfully a couple times since using GParted. Splashy still works until it encounters the error. I'd like to undrstand: what is broken? Why can't it detect the partition if a Live CD and the windows software can?
[03:11] <rpedro> joeljkp: do a 'dpkg -S <files_name>' ,it should give you the package with the file you want
[03:11] <Jack_Sparrow> david yes, and it can shrink it like the windows prog
[03:11] <Ignite_> Patrick_, i don't know, i've never used it, i've used AIGLX and thats as close as it gets, that was just for playing around, i wouldn't use it full time, not yet
[03:11] <adamant1988> hackel,  I bet you would when everyone else around is talking about how cool it is and doing it.
[03:11] <hawkaloogie> I just updated to Dapper and now I can't run k3b as anything but root. I also can't run gnomebaker at all, it says it has a GThread error (only one can be started at at time). How can I fix one or the other?
[03:12] <Jack_Sparrow> wweasel:  then use live and reinstall grub
[03:12] <Patrick_> ignite_ hmm...
[03:12] <Ignite_> hawkaloogie, try running k3bsetup as root
[03:12] <joeljkp> rpedro: they both have the same file
[03:12] <Jack_Sparrow> wweasel:  that cant hurt
[03:12] <joeljkp> rpedro: and the same description
[03:12] <wweasel> Jack_Sparrow: You think that might help?
[03:12] <tanlaan> what would i use to run a shell script periodically?
[03:12] <Patrick_> Does anyone know how to fix such an error? with fglrxinfo, it says "Unable to open display :0"
[03:12] <hackel> adamant1988:  Especially not if the car maker GAVE me the spare prototype parts for free.
[03:12] <rpedro> joeljkp: then get the one with the most recent version number
[03:13] <wweasel> Jack_Sparrow: I had to do that once, after I reinstalled Windows yesterday and it rewrote my MBR. Grub was restored successfully, and I opened up Ubuntu once. Shut it down, went out, came back, now this.
[03:13] <DarkMageZ> hackel, are you guys talking about xgl & compiz by any chance?
[03:13] <joeljkp> rpedro: openal0: 0.2005080600-2.1build2, openal0a: 1:0.0.8-1ubuntu1
[03:13] <hackel> DarkMageZ:  No, we're talking about cars. :)
[03:14] <DarkMageZ> hackel, oh, but before that :P
[03:14] <Jack_Sparrow> wweasel:  I'm done with this...
[03:14] <rpedro> joeljkp: get the ubuntu version, don't know where you got that other one
[03:14] <wweasel> Jack_Sparrow: Sorry to bother you.
[03:14] <wastrel> ubunto
[03:14] <adamant1988> DarkMageZ, yes, we were talking about XGL/compiz
[03:14] <lenrek> What yours preferred application for irc client?
[03:14] <Jack_Sparrow> wweasel:  You keep remembering things you did...
[03:14] <hackel> DarkMageZ:  yes, that's the general topic.
[03:14] <wastrel> xchat
[03:14] <joeljkp> rpedro: http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/libs/libopenal0, http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/libs/libopenal0a
[03:14] <wweasel> Jack_Sparrow: No, I don't. I know exactly what I did.
[03:14] <joeljkp> rpedro: they're both in dapper
[03:14] <tanlaan> what might i use to run a shell script periodically?
[03:15] <pianoboy3333> wo0t! GAME STARTING IN #ubuntu-trivia!!!!!
[03:15] <Jack_Sparrow> wweasel:  Even when I asked what all lead up to the problem you NEVER mentioned you reinstalled Windows..
[03:15] <wastrel> tanlaan:  cron -  check  man crontab  and crontab -e
[03:15] <adamant1988> wweasel, I know this is off topic... do you or did you do graphical art?
[03:15] <DarkMageZ> Patrick_, xgl is in #ubuntu-xgl :P
[03:15] <wweasel> adamant1988: I have no idea what you're talking about.
[03:15] <adamant1988> nevermind then :)
[03:16] <tanlaan> wastrel: what?
[03:16] <DarkMageZ> Patrick_, it is really nice once you get it working. keep at it if you have the time
[03:16] <wweasel> Jack_Sparrow: I'm sorry I didn't mention it earlier. But it didn't seem relevant. I have been in Ubuntu since I reinstalled windows.
[03:16] <wweasel> Jack_Sparrow: And since I restored grub earlier today
[03:16] <wweasel> !grub
[03:16] <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
[03:16] <wweasel> Jack_Sparrow: (which was after installing windows)
[03:16] <wastrel> tanlaan:  cron is the program to use for scheduling periodic execution of commands
[03:16] <dakine> i am on the verge of instling ubuntu and need to know if/how i can import firefox bookmarks
[03:16] <Patrick_> darkmagez, I am aware of how awesome it is.... it also makes productivity even easier. I got AIGLX working, but it was slowish and alot of people told me that XGL will run much faster
[03:17] <wweasel> Jack_Sparrow: And obviously the partitioning was before reinstalling windows.
[03:17] <wastrel> !cron
[03:17] <ubotu> cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. There is a decent howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm
[03:17] <Patrick_> darkmagez, that channel..bah, nobody answers me...
[03:17] <tanlaan> wastrel: ok thankyou
[03:17] <wweasel> dakine: yes, you can import your entire firefox profile
[03:17] <DarkMageZ> Patrick_, yeah, that channel depends on the time of day and stuff.
[03:18] <tanlaan> wastrel: are there any programs that work like crontab except have a gui?
[03:18] <wastrel> tanlaan:  i dunno, i just use cron :]
[03:18] <dakine> ok tkz, is ther a graphical file manager ( i hate to say it but like windoze explore) so i can see what is in which directories? last question, i promise
[03:19] <wweasel> Jack_Sparrow: To be honest, I have no clue what caused the change in between the time Ubuntu booted up nicely (after all of that) and now, when it bitches about not having a partition. I am sorry I didn't recount the entire story, and if that wasted any of your time.
[03:19] <Killeroid> dakine: yes
[03:19] <tanlaan> wastrel: haha well are there any help files for cron?
[03:19] <Killeroid> nautilus
[03:19] <wastrel> tanlaan:  man crontab, man cron.  also that link ubotu sent
[03:19] <skavenge> does dvdrip do shrinking as well or do i need to install something else?
[03:19] <Killeroid> dakine: yes,ubuntu has a graphical file manager
[03:20] <dakine> i didnt see it on the live disc
[03:20] <dakine> what is it called
[03:20] <Killeroid> dakine: its called nautilus
[03:20] <Killeroid> !nautilus
[03:20] <ubotu> I know nothing about nautilus

[03:37] <socket7> dgh1973, uh. It doesnt. It's a removable drive. I'm trying to make my laptop find it when i've installed the drive after boot, and I'm also trying to find out how to remove it without the system locking up completely.
[03:38] <Jack_Sparrow> abc123:  do you want my help?
[03:38] <socket7> dgh1973,  I'm trying to use ./idectl 1 rescan to get it to find the drive
[03:38] <socket7> but it says /dev/hdc is not found
[03:38] <dgh1973> socket7: ahh I see... what kind of drive is it, usb?
[03:38] <milla> what other editor can i use? im using vi /boot/grub/menu.lst
[03:38] <socket7> hot swap bay
[03:38] <milla> and i cannot write
[03:38] <milla> :(
[03:38] <dgh1973> milla: nano is a good one
[03:39] <tomlikestorock> vi is also good
[03:39] <Jack_Sparrow> abc123: go to term, type sudo nautilus, browse to boot/grub, double click grub.lst you should be able to edit and save it
[03:39] <milla> 8(
[03:39] <socket7> idectl errors out with /dev/hdc cannot be found, and theres no /dev/hdc when i ls /dev
[03:39] <boelloesch> is there a a really easy way to install a mp3-player at ubuntu?

[03:39] <socket7> so I've been trying to create a /dev/hdc to make idectl work.
[03:39] <miguelsr> Killeroid hey i download the driver but it doesnt works
[03:39] <dgh1973> what model laptop socket7?
[03:39] <dr_willis> ick running nautilus as root,   :)

[03:40] <ShadowLurker> need help
[03:40] <ShadowLurker> i tried to install AIM
[03:40] <socket7> i have friends who have the same model as mine and have gotten it to work

[03:40] <abc123> i dont have a clue
[03:40] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[03:40] <abc123> wtf is term
[03:40] <abc123> there is no term
[03:40] <ShadowLurker> and it says to type, usr/local/bin/aim in the command line, i tried that and it said it was an invalid command
[03:41] <abc123> there is nothign what u said
[03:41] <abc123> ever
[03:41] <dgh1973> socket7: if you power down, insert cdrom and boot up it should automatically create the device for you (i guess it isn't) but ejecting it live is a bad idea in general... hot bays on laptops are treated as ide in most cases I think
[03:41] <Jack_Sparrow> abc123:  go to applications, accessories and term
[03:41] <abc123> im confused
[03:41] <abc123> terminal?

[03:44] <benplaut> Jack_Sparrow, i'm thinking rogue update...
[03:44] <abc123> which i dont care about
[03:44] <benplaut> it's pretty f*ed up over here
[03:44] <abc123> as i need to delete viruses from my slave hard driver
[03:44] <abc123> hdd
[03:44] <abc123> hard drive^
[03:44] <eric__> Wonder if I could solicit some help with a Sony Vaio and a USB hard drive.
[03:44] <abc123> which is becoming a chore for this unstable peiece of shit they call an opertating system
[03:44] <socket7> I just need to know why MAKEDEV wont make an /dev/hdc for me :(
[03:45] <Jack_Sparrow> abc123: go to terminal, type sudo nautilus, browse to boot/grub, double click grub.lst you should be able to edit and save it
[03:45] <eric__> Ubuntu installer kept failing so I installed PCLINUX (for now) on the USB drive.  Put LILO on the MBR of the USB  drive...
[03:45] <Jack_Sparrow> abc123: saying it didnt work is NOT helpful, where did it not work
[03:45] <abc123> i typed the sudo nautilus then thats it
[03:45] <abc123> cause i dint think they are supposed to have commas
[03:45] <ShadowLurker> CAN SOMEONE HELP ME?
[03:46] <stpere> ShadowLurker, please don't shout
[03:46] <eric__> ..but the VAIO won't boot off of it.  Can't set the BIOS to look at the USB drive and it's my work machine, so I don't dare mess with the main drive by adding GRUB or LILO to its MBR.
[03:46] <abc123> i done that it sent me to the master hard drive which ive said
[03:46] <Jack_Sparrow> abc123: go back to XP, you two were made for each other if you cant follow SIMPLE instructions
[03:46] <dagrump_> my ears!!!
[03:46] <abc123> i cant go back to xp
[03:46] <eric__> ..so I'm thinking I need to make a boot disk.
[03:46] <skon> hello
[03:46] <Jack_Sparrow> abc123:  did nautilus open
[03:46] <abc123> i need to fix it hence the reason im using shitty linux which doesnt work for humans
[03:46] <eric__> Then I thought maybe I could use my UBUNTU live CD to point to the kernel on the HD I have.
[03:46] <dagrump_> made my i's hurt
[03:46] <eric__> Is there a way to do that?
[03:46] <Killeroid> ShadowLurker: whats your problem?
[03:46] <abc123> dno wat that word mean
[03:47] <abc123> but two icons came up
[03:47] <abc123> desktop
[03:47] <skon> is there a quick way i can check what port a programme is using ( eg synergy )?
[03:47] <abc123> and some other small file
[03:47] <abc123> which dint look too usefull
[03:47] <stpere> skon, ask ;-)
[03:47] <Jack_Sparrow> abc so you are in nautilus... press the up arrow until you see boot folder
[03:47] <skon> i did but it would not tell me
[03:47] <dgh1973> socket7: did you mean Fujitsu P1510D?
[03:47] <eric__> Maybe someone has a better/slicker solution than this one?
[03:47] <Tom7e> anyone have a link for setting up 5.1 surround sound?
[03:48] <wastrel> skon:  netstat -a | grep synergy    maybe
[03:48] <abc123> no root poped up
[03:48] <abc123> nothing about that funy word
[03:48] <Jack_Sparrow> abc123:  double click on boot folder then double click on grub folder and double click on menu.lst
[03:48] <ShadowLurker> Killeroid: go to #UbuntuPalace please
[03:48] <abc123> which isnt english

[03:51] <Tom7e> is the sound card configured in xorg.conf or somewhere else?
[03:51] <wastrel> tomlikestorock:  so this is your wireless nic?  is it working with the internet, but not LAN?

[03:51] <bcron> Im wondering if anyone can help me with an odd problem.  I can boot from my cdrom but it's damaged and it stops right after the kernel is loaded.  I have a usb cdrom I can load ubuntu with but I can't boot from it
[03:52] <bcron> can I boot from the floppy to get the usb cdrom working?
[03:52] <Jack_Sparrow> abc close it all down and start over.
[03:52] <abc123> yeah found it alot easier to get it from a diff location
[03:52] <wastrel> tomlikestorock:  first thing to check is whether you're connected to the wireless network you think you're connected to... use iwconfig  and look at the essid.
[03:52] <abc123> as that command prompt wernt working in my favour
[03:52] <Tom7e> HiP_P: cheers?

[04:06] <t94xr> anyone know any good tuts on the firewall?
[04:06] <dgh1973> abc123: ok if it's your primary slave ide drive with ntfs filesystem try this in a terminal as root (no quotes) - "mkdir -p /mnt/windows && mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 /mnt/windows"
[04:06] <tonyyarusso> coucho: Ah, okay.  You can do it on the command line with gnupg I believe..there's a page on the wiki with instructions.  One sec.
[04:06] <coucho> k
[04:06] <nomasteryoda> dgh1973, but he can'
[04:06] <jme> !firewall
[04:07] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed with iptables (in the command line), firestarter (gui, can also setup connection sharing) or shorewall (web interface)
[04:07] <nomasteryoda> not write to it if it is ntfs
[04:07] <gnomefreak> wastrel: did you need something?
[04:07] <abc123> cheers dgh1973 quite the clever person
[04:07] <abc123> unlike some
[04:07] <dgh1973> nomasteryoda: ntfs write is stable now
[04:07] <wastrel> gnomefreak:  user was misbehaving but seems to not be a troll, just a jackass
[04:07] <tanlaan> anyone know how to mount the gmailfs?
[04:07] <halitus87> !ntfs
[04:07] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[04:07] <nomasteryoda> dgh1973, er, ok
[04:07] <nomasteryoda> not for my data
[04:07] <dgh1973> abc123: did that work?
[04:07] <coucho> ntfs write stable? nice!
[04:07] <dagrump_> gotasa go nite all
[04:07] <gnomefreak> coucho: no
[04:07] <Jack_Sparrow> coucho NO
[04:07] <abc123> nah
[04:07] <abc123> permision denined
[04:08] <tich> how do you change the theme of root protected applications? when i run synaptic it always reverts to whatever theme it had on install.
[04:08] <nomasteryoda> Jack_Sparrow, gnomefreak thanks
 nomasteryoda: ntfs write is stable now <- what is that then?
[04:08] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[04:08] <nomasteryoda> unstable it is coucho
[04:08] <coucho> ah
[04:08] <nomasteryoda> very... lose data you will
[04:08] <dr_willis> tich,  root protected? they use roots default theme im guessing.. run the theme tool as root.
[04:08] <coucho> mmk
[04:08] <tanlaan> does anyone know how to mount gmailfs?
[04:08] <Jack_Sparrow> coucho: Dont believe everything you read..
[04:08] <nomasteryoda> coucho, download the ultimatebootcd
[04:08] <nomasteryoda> you will have tools to do what you need
[04:08] <coucho> why?
[04:08] <dgh1973> abc123: ok... try it like this then "sudo mkdir -p /mnt/windows && mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 /mnt/windows"
[04:08] <dr_willis> tanlaan,  check the gmailfs docs/homepage yet?
[04:09] <nomasteryoda> if you want to remove windows spyware, viruses, etc.. you need a windows os
[04:09] <Jack_Sparrow> coucho... Example... Coucho is Gay...
[04:09] <coucho> i can decrypt that message with ultimatebootcd?
[04:09] <dgh1973> abc123: or like this if you want to be paranoid and have read only access  "sudo mkdir -p /mnt/windows && mount -o ro -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 /mnt/windows"
[04:09] <tanlaan> dr_willis: yes i just cant get my system to mount...do you know how?
[04:09] <nomasteryoda> lol
[04:09] <abc123> only root can do that
[04:09] <tonyyarusso> coucho: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto#head-b54d61303895f1d048333715a2a372923aad22a8
[04:09] <coucho> thanks
[04:09] <abc123> only root can do that
[04:09] <abc123> only root can do that
[04:09] <abc123> sorry i dno if everything is sending
[04:09] <dr_willis> abc123,  do you mean to say that only root can do that? :P
[04:09] <tanlaan> dr_willis: like i dont understand how to mount anything
[04:10] <gnomefreak> tomlikestorock: are you done abusing the but?
[04:10] <abc123> lol
[04:10] <gnomefreak> s/but/bot
[04:10] <dr_willis> tanlaan,  mount command. :P and lots of options. worth reading/learning about.
[04:10] <skavenge> sudo gives you root privliges, wow
[04:10] <dr_willis> !mount
[04:10] <ubotu> Disks store lots of data. Partitioning: try gparted or qtparted  - Formatting: see the manpage for mkfs  - Mounting: system -> administration -> disks
[04:10] <Jack_Sparrow> tanlaan: DO you want to have drives mounted and on desktop with every boot?
[04:10] <dashriKe> hmm, on your average IDE cable, does it matter which end goes into which piece of hardware?
[04:10] <gnomefreak> abc123: please dont repeat stuff like you are
[04:10] <Jack_Sparrow> dashriKe: dosent matter
[04:10] <dashriKe> k
[04:10] <dgh1973> abc123: just type sudo before the command and type your login password
[04:10] <Jack_Sparrow> dashriKe:  jumper selectable.. most systems
[04:11] <dashriKe> I knew the out-of-hand rule that the lone end goes in the mobo, but I didn't know if that was absolute
[04:11] <HiP_P> hmmmm "No volume control GStraner pluins and/or devices found."
[04:11] <tanlaan> well what i want to do is to have the gmailfs mounted so i can just drag and drop things into it and have it in my gmail account
[04:11] <Jack_Sparrow> ah... diferent problem..
[04:12] <HiP_P> *GStreamer
[04:12] <GullyFoyle> dr_willis: but your mp3s aren't cd quality
[04:12] <GullyFoyle> oops mistell
[04:12] <abc123> it doesnt give me the option to put my pass word in
[04:12] <dr_willis> GullyFoyle,  given the womans choice of music... i dont think it matters. :P
[04:12] <Jack_Sparrow> dgh1973: Enjoy... :)
[04:12] <GullyFoyle> dr_willis: good one
[04:12] <dgh1973> abc123: it won't if you have already run sudo in the past, what 5 minutes or so
[04:12] <dr_willis> plus i cant tell the diff either.
[04:13] <abc123> crazy
[04:13] <abc123> lol
[04:13] <tomlikestorock> what are the programs that entail nic access to network resources?
[04:13] <abc123> k cheers for helping me
[04:13] <Blacko> Anyone mind helping me?  I'm trying to install my network (again >.>)  And It gives me a "driver present" but not a "hardware present" when I do a - sudo ndiswrapper -l
[04:13] <tomlikestorock> iptables, etc?
[04:13] <abc123> did u read the convo with me and jack
[04:13] <abc123> he was blaming his too fast for his own good skim reading on me
[04:13] <dgh1973> abc123: sorry no, too much traffic here
[04:14] <dgh1973> I'd be glad to have a private chat with you and try and walk you through the details
[04:14] <abc123> cool
[04:14] <Jack_Sparrow> dgh1973: good get him the F out of here...
[04:14] <skavenge> thats insane the whole time he had valuable advice you were too impatient to follow
[04:14] <coucho> uhm ok gpg --decrypt says that there's not valid gpg data found
[04:14] <abc123> i love u jack
[04:15] <abc123> i love ur huge brain

[04:15] <abc123> that doesnt function properly
[04:15] <tomlikestorock> why was I kicked?
[04:15] <tonyyarusso> Has anyone gotten gmailfs to work successfully lately?  I tried it once and had some trouble.
[04:15] <dgh1973> what IRC client are you using abc123?
[04:15] <ardchoille> I use Ubuntu with the xfce desktop and someone is logged into the computer and has their screensaver running. Is it possible for me to log into VT1 and start the xfce desktop on VT8?
[04:15] <abc123> msn

[04:16] <dgh1973> ok, did you get some kind of pop up conversation window with me saying "hello?"?
[04:16] <HiP_P> not a good idea to put email in a public chat room
[04:16] <abc123> nope
[04:16] <Jack_Sparrow> abc123:  Ask everyone here, you just DONT listen..
[04:16] <abc123> would of clicked it
[04:16] <abc123> no u jump the gun
[04:16] <t94xr> Dear John - CC: the world
[04:16] <abc123> how come im getting along with dgh?
[04:17] <ardchoille> HiP_P: pffft, it's hotmail.. M$ sells those email addresses to spammer anyway
[04:17] <tonyyarusso> ardchoille: Ctrl-Alt-F1 should get you to VT1, not sure what the command would be though, maybe startxfce or some such thing, and then just check the man to specify VT8.
[04:17] <skavenge> no YOU dont listen people could teach monkey's the three commands he was trying to have you do
[04:17] <wastrel> Jack_Sparrow:  leave it alone, he won't.
[04:17] <pete6> Hi I'm having trouble changing my resolution, it's set on 1600x1200 and i'm trying to change to 1280x1024 and set it as default and it doesn't stay after i hit apply
[04:17] <dgh1973> oh well, at least i tried
[04:17] <HiP_P> true

[04:17] <HiP_P> some people just cant be helped
[04:18] <nomasteryoda> lol
[04:18] <wastrel> pete6:  i'd just remove the 1600x1200  from /etc/X11/xorg.conf  (backup the original first)
[04:18] <gnomefreak> guys get back to support
[04:18] <skavenge> that whole ordeal was getting severly old, sheesh
[04:18] <Jack_Sparrow> thanks
[04:18] <pete6> wastrel: alright, give me a second
[04:18] <Jack_Sparrow> Anyone have a question..
[04:18] <tomlikestorock> wastrel: other than iptables and iwconfig, are there any other utilities I should be checking for this issue?
[04:18] <dgh1973> pete6: you can try getting down and dirty with your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
[04:18] <HiP_P> yup me
[04:18] <xarq> hmm
[04:18] <wastrel> tomlikestorock:  i dunno - check /etc/network/interfaces  and turn off auto on the interface you're not moving maybe
[04:19] <wastrel> er using
[04:19] <wastrel> s/moving/using/
[04:19] <abc123__> hi im back
[04:19] <dgh1973> tomlikestorock: System>Administration>Networking
[04:20] <HiP_P> cant fix the sound, i keep getting "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found."
[04:20] <dgh1973> tomlikestorock: near the bottom of the window is the "Default Gateway Device" dropdown, that set to your wireless card?
[04:20] <abc123__> dgh is there like a remote asstiance u could do for me?
[04:20] <pete6> wastrel: which 1600x1200? there are multiple entries under subsection "display"
[04:20] <Smeggy> can anyone at all help me as to why my network never starts at boot?
[04:20] <wastrel> pete6:  yeah delete all of them if you don't want to use that resolution
[04:20] <tomlikestorock> dgh1973: if I'm using network-manager, should I be messing with these settings?
[04:21] <tomlikestorock> dgh: they're not going to conflict, are they?
[04:21] <boelloesch> once again: is there an easy way to listen to mp3 at ubuntu?
[04:21] <pete6> wastrel: can i delete all the resolutions i'm not going to use? (dumb question :P )

[04:22] <ubotu> automatix is a script that automates installation of some items and has been reported to break your system while doing that, please see http://help.ubuntu.com and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserDocumentation instead.
[04:22] <tomlikestorock> wastrel: heh, interesting

[04:22] <benplaut> what happened to the neutral entries?!
[04:22] <tomlikestorock> same thing, basically
[04:22] <wastrel> dunno
[04:23] <tomlikestorock> isn't pretty much everything use at my own rish?
[04:23] <tomlikestorock> er, risk?
[04:23] <tomlikestorock> rm -rf
[04:23] <Smeggy> can anyone at all help me as to why my network never starts at boot? ... it's set to auto in /etc/network/interfaces... so i'm at a loss as to why it won't work.. anyone?
[04:23] <tomlikestorock> use at my own risk
[04:23] <tomlikestorock> ;)
[04:23] <dgh1973> abc123__: you have AIM or jabber?
[04:23] <abc123__> nah lol
[04:23] <abc123__> yahoo and msn
[04:24] <abc123__> u could use my ip addy
[04:24] <abc123__> to contact me couldnt u?
[04:24] <gnomefreak> dgh1973: and abc123__ join #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:24] <skavenge> it means in here people are not gonna troubleshoot anything involved in the two, hence your own risk .. they both have thier own channels anyway
[04:24] <pete6> wastrel: i am unable to save the xorg.conf in the same location
[04:24] <abc123__> on gnome meeting
[04:24] <dgh1973> Smeggy: auto means dhcp, try this "sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/networking /etc/rc2.d"
[04:24] <dgh1973> gnomefreak: thanks
[04:24] <gnomefreak> dgh1973: yw
[04:24] <wastrel> pete6:  ah yes you need to have superuser priviliges to edit the file.  save it in your homedir and you can copy it over with sudo
[04:25] <benplaut> Seveas, are you awake?
[04:25] <tanlaan> how do you move files in terminal?
[04:25] <xarq> mv
[04:25] <gnomefreak> tanlaan: cp or mv
[04:25] <skavenge> tanlaan: mv
[04:25] <gnomefreak> benplaut: more than likely not
[04:25] <tanlaan> thankyou
[04:25] <benplaut> damn
[04:25] <wastrel> tanlaan:  be careful, mv or cp will silently overwrite existing files.
[04:25] <tanlaan> ok will remember
[04:25] <wastrel> tanlaan:  and there's no undo.   use  -i  to be safe
[04:25] <tanlaan> k
[04:26] <abc123__> DGH1973 say if i give u my ip addy?
[04:26] <benplaut> gnomefreak, whatever happened to the agreement of easyubuntu and automatix haveing the same 'user at your own risk' factoid?
[04:26] <xarq> tanlaan: mv also moves dirs
[04:26] <gnomefreak> tanlaan: good advice use cp to copy file to wher eyou want it if it works than get rid of the org.
[04:26] <gnomefreak> benplaut: they should
[04:26] <pete6> wastrel: what is sudo?
[04:26] <Smeggy> dgh1973, did that.. rebooted.. still doing the same
[04:26] <benplaut> ..they don't
[04:26] <boelloesch> tomlikestorock --- im newbee
[04:26] <gnomefreak> benplaut: i see it give me a few
[04:27] <benplaut> thank you
[04:27] <wastrel> pete6:  sudo gives root privilidges to the command you call with it.
[04:27] <wastrel> !sudo
[04:27] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[04:27] <abc123__> i wrote sudo still dint work
[04:27] <HiP_P> oh your in the uk abc123
[04:27] <dgh1973> Smeggy: my bad Smeggy, you'll have to do something like "sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/networking /etc/rc2.d/S50networking"
[04:27] <abc123__> yeah
[04:27] <abc123__> is taht a problem?
[04:28] <HiP_P> just saying

[04:29] <abc123__> i dont think i can receieve pm
[04:29] <abc123__> i think my ubuntu is a dodgy one i swear
[04:30] <HiP_P> ok one more time then
[04:30] <skavenge> you have to be registered on freenode to recieve pms
[04:30] <Tom7e> what is wrong when I type 'make' and it says command not found... i have gcc installed...
[04:30] <dgh1973> its <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:30] <gnomefreak> abc123__: stop using enter so much try to put more on one line
[04:30] <gnomefreak> Tom7e: install build-essential

[04:31] <gnomefreak> HiP_P: what is?
[04:31] <jme> Is there a guide anywhere to the stuff that the Ubuntu installation does?
[04:31] <gnomefreak> !enter
[04:31] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[04:31] <Tom7e> gnomefreak: thanks
[04:31] <pete6> jramsey, i took out resolutions that i couldn't use from my xorg.conf because i couldn't change the resolution
[04:31] <HiP_P> nevermind
[04:31] <abc123__> aslong as some one tell me hwo to use a wireless lan card
[04:31] <wastrel> pete6:   sudo cp file1 file2   this will move file1 to the location of file2.   for example  sudo cp xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:31] <abc123__> as im using a wired pci port now
[04:31] <abc123__> ne one kniow?
[04:31] <dgh1973> jme: yeah, it's called dpkg -l
[04:31] <jme> For instance, like what it does when it sets up my grub configuration, and how I can re-run that?
[04:32] <varsendaggr> xgl is the coolest thing ever!!!!
[04:32] <dgh1973> varsendaggr: yeah, wish it worked with nvidia glx though
[04:32] <dashriKe> I wonder if my RAM is hotswappable
[04:33] <skavenge> ...
[04:33] <abc123__> sorry i use the enter key loads when im using msn messenger, its become a major habbit as ive been using it for the last 3 years lol
[04:33] <dgh1973> dashriKe: I'll bet your CPU is
[04:33] <Jack_Sparrow> dgh1973:  but he needs to be really fast
[04:33] <abc123__> is ne one good at networking in here?
[04:34] <jramsey> abc123__, ask ur question
[04:34] <dgh1973> I can hold my own
[04:34] <abc123__> im using a wired pci ethernet card at the moment... but my drivers are working now unbelievable which wasnt working on XP, but im still using the wired port so does ne one know how to use the wireless one instead?
[04:35] <pete6> if i want to use sudo to copy a file from my desktop, would i just put desktop/xorg.conf ?
[04:35] <pete6> because i can't write into my home folder
[04:35] <varsendaggr> dgh1973, how do you mean?
[04:35] <dgh1973> abc123__: yeah, in gnome go to System panel at top then Administration then Networking
[04:35] <jramsey> abc123__, you mean you're still wired/cabled to the enet port on your wireless router/base station??
[04:35] <Jack_Sparrow> pete6: would you like another way?
[04:36] <pete6> jack_sparrow if there is a another way, yes :)
[04:36] <varsendaggr> i'm getting 3Mb/s

[04:41] <Jack_Sparrow> pete6: Glad to help, amazing that was too much for another user to understand
[04:42] <dgh1973> lonegeek: ahh sorry, not much experience here with ATI
[04:42] <dgh1973> lonegeek: they have always been notorious for sub par linux support
[04:42] <wastrel> lonegeek:  follow the ati howto on the wiki

[04:51] <TanteMartha> please take me from the ban-list soon
[04:51] <Frederick> folks isnt netbeans in apt/
[04:51] <gnomefreak> Frederick: apt-cache search java
[04:51] <nomasteryoda> ubotu, that stinks!!
[04:51] <gnomefreak> TanteMartha: why do you plan on doing something you shouldnt?
[04:51] <ubotu> I know nothing about that stinks!!
[04:52] <lonegeek> I edit my xorg.conf file   ctrl alt backspace  and the file is still the same... i did this all as root
[04:52] <Jack_Sparrow> lonegeek:  Wuld you like another way?
[04:52] <Frederick> gnomefreak, I think it isnt present
[04:52] <lonegeek> Jack_Sparrow: sure?
[04:53] <Jack_Sparrow> follow my instructions for pete6
[04:53] <Jack_Sparrow> pete6: click on applications,accessories and go into a terminal
[04:53] <gnomefreak> if it is there (im not sure) but it would be under multiverse repo
[04:53] <Jack_Sparrow> pete6:  from there type sudo nautilus and you should see root file manager at the top of the new window
[04:53] <Frederick> I have it enabled
[04:53] <Jack_Sparrow> pete6: from there click the up arrow until it turns grey
[04:53] <TanteMartha> gnomefreak - tere is something wrong
[04:53] <gnomefreak> Jack_Sparrow: use gksudo please
[04:53] <Jack_Sparrow> pete double click etc double click X11
[04:53] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[04:54] <gnomefreak> TanteMartha: what might that be?
[04:54] <ardchoille> Jack_Sparrow: shouldn't it be gksudo nautilus --no-desktop ?
[04:54] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[04:54] <Frederick> folks why is eclipse SO slow on my machine in ubuntu? it was fine in gentoo and is fine with windows
[04:54] <lonegeek> Jack_Sparrow: im doing sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and pasting data in...
[04:55] <lonegeek> and that doesnt work.....
[04:55] <s1gnal> Im running Ubuntu 6.06 64-bit and I have samba-common and smbclient installed, I tried to execute /etc/init.d/samba restart and it does not exist?
[04:55] <lonegeek> Why should i used gksudo instead of sudo ...i dont understand the difference
[04:56] <Jack_Sparrow> lonegeek: what if you double click your xorg.conf
[04:56] <gnomefreak> lonegeek: gksudo is used for gui/gtk apps
[04:56] <lonegeek> from nautalis....?
[04:56] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[04:56] <TanteMartha> gnomefreak --- i c - you are kinda elephant - never forgets!
[04:56] <TanteMartha> lol
[04:56] <gnomefreak> lonegeek: using sudo for gui apps is not a good idea it can mess up permissions
[04:56] <lonegeek> well i dont know how to do that as root...well i see how you did it....
[04:57] <Frederick> does anyone here uss netbeans?
[04:57] <lonegeek> I will try gksudo on xorg.conf
[04:57] <Jack_Sparrow> lonegeek:  from term gksudo nautilus
[04:57] <Jack_Sparrow> lonegeek:  click on up arrow until it turns grey
[04:58] <pete6> if i am getting choppy display on my monitor, does that mean my onboard video is not sufficient or something is wrong with my display setup?
[04:59] <Jack_Sparrow> ardchoille: No idea what he edited in that file.. :)
[04:59] <jighead> I keep getting segfaults on the postinstall process for libgtk2.0-bin and it's driving me nuts, I just can't get this package fixed
[04:59] <jighead> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16979
[04:59] <lonegeek> ardchoille: im pasting backup...well previous xorg.conf file from when it worked correctly
[04:59] <Jack_Sparrow> pete6: system dosent support your selection
[04:59] <sybariten> ok, i have a /mnt dir with a couple of prepared mount points for different harddrives ... i've added a new one now, and i can not write to it as a user. The dirs under /mnt are owned by root. is this generally a problem ?
[04:59] <ardchoille> Jack_Sparrow: doesn't matter, nautilus manages the desktop and typing gksudo nautilus will have root nautilus taking over his user desktop. He needs to type: gksudo nautilus --no-desktop
[05:00] <sybariten> or do i need to add some options to the mount command? lets just forget about fstabs and so for the moment, wanna do it by hand first
[05:00] <pete6> Jack_Sparrow, which selection? is 1280x1024 not supported?
[05:00] <Jack_Sparrow> ardchoille:  we have had this discussion...  yes gksudo is correct
[05:00] <lonegeek> brb...... ctrl alt backspace will use new xorg.conf file..? or should i reboot?
[05:00] <ardchoille> Jack_Sparrow: I am talking about the "--no-desktop" option to nautilus
[05:01] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[05:02] <salah> can I get the window titles to be transparent?
[05:02] <nomasteryoda> sure... i used some crystal theme
[05:02] <HiP_P> no cant for the life of me work this one out "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found."
[05:02] <nomasteryoda> hmmm, what was it called
[05:03] <Jack_Sparrow> pete6: go to your backup and re-edit it
[05:03] <pete6> i am
[05:04] <Frederick> is netbeans avaliable in ubuntu?
[05:04] <Tmob> anyone using ubuntu on their laptop?
[05:04] <Jack_Sparrow> ard, that --no-desktop option gives me an error
[05:04] <HiP_P> all the cards are listed when cat /proc/asound/cards
[05:04] <pete6> what is the highest support resolution? 1024x768?
[05:04] <Tmob> my suspend/resume doesn't resume the X properly
[05:04] <Tmob> seems to hang up
[05:04] <Tmob> anyone know how to fix hits?
[05:04] <Tmob> this*
[05:04] <tonyyarusso> Tmob: Thinkpad T43
[05:04] <Jack_Sparrow> pete6: I dont know what your hardware will support
[05:04] <sybariten> should i be able to just do "sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/harddisk" with an ext3 partition, and be able to use it ?
[05:04] <jme> Lnux supports any ol' resolution
[05:05] <salah> nomasteryoda, any ideas how?
[05:05] <pete6> oh i thought you meant supported by ubuntu, my monitor supports up to 1280x1024, but it's still choppy
[05:05] <HiP_P> any clues anyone?
[05:05] <wastrel> pete6:  maybe use a lower color depth
[05:05] <Tmob> tonyyarusso, i'm on Dell D410
[05:05] <Jack_Sparrow> pete6 then you nned to back it down..
[05:05] <Tmob> tonyyarusso, intel 915 chipset
[05:06] <ardchoille> Jack_Sparrow: the error you get is because you used gksudo
[05:06] <LTjake> i'm trying to get VMware in fullscreen mode and i'm getting this message: "Unable to find an appropriate host video mode." anyone seen that before?
[05:06] <Jack_Sparrow> I just cut and pasted what was suggested..
[05:06] <lonegeek> Hey......file isnt saving....or what............is it because im selecting previous kernal...because when i installed kde...idk but its all messed up now
[05:07] <pete6> wastrel: how do i change the color depth?
[05:07] <steve__> Does anyone know, off-hand, what config file I can use to set the screensaver from the command line? (gnome-screensaver) The preview of the currently-selected screensaver in the prefs dialog freezes this machine.
[05:07] <tanlaan> i have a shell script that doesnt want to be executed on startup, how can i make it?
[05:08] <Frederick> tanlaan, does it have the right permissions?
[05:08] <tanlaan> it should
[05:08] <tanlaan> its just that normally you have to cd to the files folder
[05:08] <__mikem> HEy, I know this is a little off topic, but I was wondering, if I can ping a domain name but when I try to access the website I get timeout errors, and the site is typically a low traffic website, would it be safe to assume that a DOS attack might be afoot?
[05:08] <Frederick> tanlaan, does it HAVE or should have?
[05:08] <tanlaan> then execute it with ./Startmux
[05:08] <wastrel> pete6:  it might be useful to find the monitor specs , hsync vsync resolution and color depth, in the manufacturers documentation or a hardware database.
[05:08] <wastrel> pete6:  you can comment out depth settings in your xorg.conf
[05:09] <lonegeek> I did "install" kubuntu-desktop... can i remove all packages it installed?
[05:09] <__mikem> lonegeek, for what ever reason when I try that, it insists on removing the whole thing
[05:09] <Alethes> How do I fix the ".mp3 is not a supported filetype." error in amarok when trying to update id3 tags from musicbrainz?
[05:10] <lonegeek> _mikem: ? when  i do it ...it only removes kubuntu-desktop itself which is 40kb.....but all the packages where...140 mb....
[05:10] <tanlaan> what permissions does it need??
[05:10] <__mikem> lonegeek, thats weird, I have never had any luck with it in any event
[05:10] <Frederick> tanlaan, maybe 755 not sure about what do you want to do
[05:10] <milla> hey

[05:13] <Jack_Sparrow> milla:  go to the links above
[05:13] <pete6> wastrel: after i editted the color depths in the xorg.conf i can't get past the log in screen :/
[05:13] <milla> i also read that page
[05:13] <milla> im kinda new at this
[05:13] <skavenge> if you want mp3 playback the restricted formats page is what you want
[05:13] <milla> im switching form windows and i need some help
[05:13] <wastrel> pete6:  what did you do?
[05:13] <lonegeek> How can i completely remove "kubuntu-desktop"  ?
[05:13] <milla> i dont understand the restricted format page
[05:14] <pete6> i took out the 24 and 16 color depths
[05:14] <Jack_Sparrow> pete6:  what depth did you leave in?
[05:14] <pete6> 8
[05:14] <Jack_Sparrow> 8 x 1024x768..
[05:14] <malv> anyone know if there is a substantial slowdown when using LVM?
[05:14] <milla> tells me to install k3b-mad and stuff and i dont know where to get them
[05:15] <milla> i want mp3 playback
[05:15] <pete6> yes that is what i tried to run Jack_Sparrow
[05:15] <milla> please, help me.... 8(
[05:15] <milla> ?
[05:15] <milla> haha
[05:15] <Jack_Sparrow> pete6:  I dont think anything supports that
[05:15] <skavenge> milla; are you running gnome or kde?
[05:15] <milla> gnome
[05:16] <Jack_Sparrow> milla: you need to read that again.. it is exactly what you need
[05:16] <milla> but... yeah i,ve read it, i dnt understand
[05:16] <Jack_Sparrow> ardchoille: are you here..?
[05:16] <skavenge> milla open a terminal and type 'sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly'
[05:16] <milla> im new at linux thing
[05:16] <pete6> Jack_Sparrow, how do can i fix the damage i've done? :((((
[05:16] <skavenge> without the 's
[05:16] <ardchoille> Jack_Sparrow: yes
[05:17] <Jack_Sparrow> ardchoille: What is the best way to get root nautilus, gksudo nautilus --no-desktop dosent work
[05:17] <Jack_Sparrow> ardchoille: Would just like to try to unify what we tell people..
[05:17] <milla> it says it couldnt find the package gstreamer0.10
[05:18] <ardchoille> Jack_Sparrow: I have been using sudo nautilus --no-desktop --browser for over a year without any problems. gksudo seems to not allow you to use a command followed by switches.
[05:18] <Jack_Sparrow> mnilla did you enable the other repos
[05:18] <tanlaan> anyone know how to get a shell script to run on startup? ive tried to use the session program, and put the script as a command to be executed. but that didnt work
[05:18] <skavenge> milla; did you put the -plugins-ugly on there too?
[05:18] <milla> yeah
[05:18] <tanlaan> anyone know how to get a shell script to run on startup? ive tried to use the session program, and put the script as a command to be executed. but that didnt work
[05:18] <Jack_Sparrow> ardchoille:   agreed...
[05:18] <skavenge> milla; do you have universe and multiverse enabled in the repositories?
[05:19] <milla> ? i dont know....
[05:19] <Mikasuliel> hey guys, i found out what was wrong with Nautilus Backgrounds, you can only have a background when your in Icon View, it doesnt let you have it in List View
[05:19] <ardchoille> Jack_Sparrow: sounds to me like gksudo needs to be fixed, but that's just my opinion
[05:19] <milla> what are universe and repositories
[05:19] <_joe> hello
[05:19] <_joe> how can i arbitrarily disable services and daemons from running on startup?
[05:19] <_joe> for instance, i don't need cups or hp printing, b/c i have no printer
[05:20] <_joe> nor bittorrent or rsync
[05:20] <tanlaan> anyone know how to get a shell script to run on startup? ive tried to use the session program, and put the script as a command to be executed. but that didnt work
[05:20] <skavenge> milla; open the synaptic package manager, click on 'settings', then 'repositories'
[05:21] <burepe2> I converted some ogg files to mp3 with sound converter and a bunch of them are 18 min and 20 min when they should be 3 or 4. Does this happen alot?
[05:21] <milla> mmmm..... :'( i want mp3 playback....
[05:21] <skavenge> milla; the unchecked ones that have 'universe' qand 'multiverse' in thier name you need to check
[05:21] <HiP_P> bah still getting http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16981
[05:22] <skavenge> once the repositories are added it will find the gstreamer file
[05:22] <Jack_Sparrow> milla:  you are getting good advice, just listen carefully..
[05:22] <Jack_Sparrow> milla:  you are getting good advice, just listen carefully..
[05:22] <tanlaan> does anyone know of a place i can go for shell script help?

[05:27] <Verithrax> I'm planning on instalilng WIndoze again on this box. I know the damn thing is going to mess my MBR, does anyone know what the easiest way to clean the mess up afterwards and install a proper dual boot is?

[05:28] <Jack_Sparrow> no sorry
[05:28] <h4v0k> np
[05:28] <skavenge> milla; 'settings' should be on the top of the synaptic window next to 'help'
[05:28] <milla> ok im in repositories
[05:28] <HiP_P> why is everyone writing visual basic these days
[05:28] <Jack_Sparrow> google realbasic, it is supposed to be free and will take vb source
[05:28] <_joe> tanlaan: i think if you search it for "startup" you'll find the page
[05:28] <Jeffe> I have a smb, rhythmbox, windows networking questions can anyone help?
[05:28] <milla> i write on Vb
[05:28] <_joe> tanlaan: but...if you shell script doesn't work to begin with, you're going to have trouble

[05:29] <KooL> windows xp boot sequence died on me; reformating seems to be the only way i can fix it, so im using ubuntu to save my files, what does "Unable to mount the selected volume" mean?
[05:29] <tanlaan> _joe: no it works
[05:29] <skavenge> milla; okay the ones listed that say 'universe' or 'multiverse' in the description you need to check and save
[05:29] <_joe> tanlaan: ah, ok
[05:29] <HiP_P> subpos
[05:29] <tanlaan> _joe: its just im tired of haveing to open terminal and starting it up manually
[05:29] <h4v0k> i think it means the file system is unable to be used in linux format
[05:29] <noclip> Hi, everyone! Can anyone help me get my USB wireless adapter to work? Here is what I've done so far: http://pastebin.ca/76772 (Thanks in advance!)

[05:30] <tanlaan> _joe: where is the wiki?
[05:30] <HiP_P> just i guess i dont like it because it looks messy

[05:30] <KooL> what do you mean saved anything?
[05:30] <KooL> right now im booting from my cd drive
[05:30] <KooL> and i cant seem to access my hdd
[05:30] <Jack_Sparrow> KooL: your XP files
[05:30] <Jack_Sparrow> ah
[05:30] <KooL> what happens is, i go through the boot screen of my mobo
[05:30] <KooL> the splash
[05:31] <KooL> and then it asks to start windows normally
[05:31] <KooL> and it reboots
[05:31] <Jack_Sparrow> KooL: have you tried system , admin , disks..
[05:31] <KooL> i was tweaking my cpu earlier, do you think a cmos restart would work?
[05:31] <HiP_P> right iam off to bed ill ask in here tomorrow about the card problem
[05:31] <milla> i cant find anything that sez universe or multiverse
[05:31] <Jack_Sparrow> KooL:  I would set it back to default before getting to far into this
[05:32] <KooL> jack, i went through admin
[05:32] <KooL> and it says
[05:32] <KooL> you do not have permission
[05:32] <milla> jack?
[05:33] <milla> i cant find anything that sez universe or multiverse
[05:33] <Jack_Sparrow> kool1 when did it say that... did disk manager open
[05:33] <skavenge> milla; there are a bunch that have a line in the description that says 'community maintained: (universe)' and (multiverse), you need to check those
[05:33] <KooL> yeah
[05:33] <milla> yeah
[05:33] <KooL> disks manager opens and i see my hard drives
[05:33] <KooL> when i try to go to browse
[05:33] <KooL> it doesnt work
[05:33] <Jack_Sparrow> KooL: and click on partitions
[05:33] <milla> i went thu search and chosen to search in the description field
[05:33] <milla> nothing saz universe or multiverse
[05:33] <Fatal`> damnit, jack
[05:33] <Fatal`> you're here all day?
[05:33] <_joe> tanlaan: wiki.ubuntu.com
[05:34] <Jeffe> can anyone help me with a rhythmbox smb issue?  If so PM me please
[05:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Yea, mother in law in hospital, trying to keep my mind busy
[05:34] <PMantis> Can anyone tell me if LVM needs MD ?
[05:34] <Fatal`> hehe, i bitched out on ubuntu for a while
[05:34] <Jack_Sparrow> fata, glad to see you and sorry for off topic
[05:34] <tanlaan> _joe: it says nothing about scripts :(
[05:34] <Fatal`> there's got to be a reason for my random freezing
[05:34] <Fatal`> that's the only thing turning me off from ubuntu
[05:34] <skavenge> milla; this is under 'settings', and 'repositories', not in the package manager itself
[05:34] <Fatal`> that, and the extra buttons on the mice dont work!
[05:35] <Fatal`> tis a bitch for browsing
[05:35] <Fatal`> :P
[05:35] <tanlaan> _joe: and it says that if you dont find what your adding in your menues that you shouldnt add it
[05:35] <_joe> tanlaan: ah
[05:35] <KooL> jack
[05:35] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[05:35] <_joe> tanlaan: well, i'm kinda new to ubuntu myself, so i don't know what else to tell you
[05:35] <KooL> i can change the access path
[05:35] <KooL> i think
[05:35] <skavenge> milla; above the search button theres 'Help', and next to that 'Settings' thats what you want
[05:35] <KooL> would that be the problem?
[05:35] <tanlaan> _joe: ok ill ask other ppl :D
[05:35] <KooL> when i click on that, i can see my folders
[05:35] <Jack_Sparrow> KooL:  are you in partitions
[05:35] <KooL> yeah
[05:36] <KooL> it says partion 1
[05:36] <tanlaan> hey does anyone know if scripts are aloud to be put into sessionstartup?
[05:36] <rpedro> Fatal`: you using binary drivers for your gfx card?
[05:36] <Jack_Sparrow> KooL:  find the partition with the files you are trying to save...
[05:36] <pete6> i'm still getting a wipe effect on my monitor, is my onboard video not enough or are some settings not optimized?
[05:36] <KooL> well theres only one right now
[05:37] <Gareth1> hm, has anyone been getting a "error: C compiler cannot create executables" when trying to compile the latest wine source (with build essential and build-dep for wine installed)?
[05:37] <Jack_Sparrow> kool click on it and click on accessible
[05:37] <Gareth1> that is, for amd64
[05:37] <rpedro> Fatal`: I had a few freezes before because of the ati binary drivers, added an option to xorg.conf , now it works fine
[05:37] <Nameeater> Verithrax, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_restore_GRUB_menu_after_Windows_installation
[05:37] <KooL> status says accessible
[05:37] <Jack_Sparrow> KooL:  you should now be able to read it
[05:37] <tanlaan> hey does anyone know if scripts are aloud to be put into sessionstartup?
[05:38] <milla> yeah
[05:38] <milla> jow i have multiverse and universe
[05:38] <Nameeater> Verithrax: you will probably need to have a partition already setup for windows to use
[05:38] <milla> its downloading r8 now
[05:38] <KooL> still doesnt work
[05:38] <Verithrax> I do, in fact.
[05:38] <KooL> =(
[05:38] <milla> 8)
[05:38] <KooL> it was accessible by default
[05:38] <skavenge> milla; so you found the plugin then? gstreamer ugly?
[05:38] <Verithrax> Windows just killed itself for no reason once I installed Linux on this box.
[05:39] <Gareth1> lack of self confidence, probably
[05:39] <milla> i have gstreamer0.8-lame
[05:39] <agamotto> Verithrax:  Most of us could come up with a nasty and funny comment on that one...
[05:39] <milla> i have gstreamer0.8-mad
[05:39] <Verithrax> Yes, Windows is probably the first OS that can be described as 'emo'.
[05:39] <skavenge> milla; are you on dapper 6.06 or breezy 5.10?
[05:39] <milla> breezy 5.10
[05:39] <Nameeater> Verithrax: is it still there on the harddrive?
[05:39] <agamotto> Verithrax:  However, since this is a help channel, go to the wiki.ubuntu.com, and search for 'restoring windows mbr'
[05:40] <tanlaan> does anyone know if scripts are aloud to be put into sessionstartup?
[05:40] <agamotto> That is usually the problem
[05:40] <Jack_Sparrow> Verithrax: do you want to fix your XP?
[05:40] <milla> the next week ill have drapper
[05:40] <pete6> i'm still getting a wipe effect on my monitor, is my onboard video not enough or are some settings not optimized?
[05:40] <Verithrax> ANYWAY, I'm off to actually do it. Wish me luck. Or say I'm betraying the movement, whatever floats your boat.
[05:40] <milla> it's downloading on the other pc right now
[05:40] <Jack_Sparrow> pete6:  keep after it..
[05:40] <milla> so slow, man, you wouldnt imagine
[05:40] <skavenge> milla; you need gstreamer0.8-mad in breezy, search for that one
[05:40] <milla> i have gstreamer0.8-mad
[05:40] <pete6> the refresh rate, resolution, and color depths are all at what my hardware supports, what other settings are there Jack_Sparrow?
[05:40] <MOWVI> windows will be fine, it's Genuine Disadvantage calls Microsoft daily
[05:41] <_joe> milla: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[05:41] <milla> 5.10
[05:41] <skavenge> milla; that should be all you need for mp3 playback
[05:41] <milla> ok
[05:41] <Jack_Sparrow> pete6:  I would start very low and work up
[05:41] <milla> let's see if it works
[05:41] <_joe> milla: ah. if you gstreamer0.8-mad it should work
[05:41] <tanlaan> does anyone know if scripts are aloud to be put into sessionstartup?
[05:41] <MOWVI> mad by itself doesn't work, you need the whole thing
[05:42] <milla> it doesnt
[05:42] <skavenge> according to the wiki thats all you need
[05:42] <milla> im using totem movie player and
[05:42] <Diablita> Hola, Estoy En Busca De Nuevos Amigos . . .
[05:42] <MOWVI> the weaki is wrong
[05:42] <milla> and it doesnt work
[05:42] <milla> diablita, anda al mercado a buscar amigos....
[05:42] <MOWVI> milla: search at packages.ubuntu.com for mp3, and get something called, I forget
[05:42] <skavenge> MOWVI: do you know what is needed offhand? trying to get mp3 playback for milla ...
[05:42] <pete6> Jack_Sparrow, i just worked my way up from 640x480 with resolution, and i doubt that color depth would cause a wiping effect, what do i change to edit the refresh rate in xorg.conf ?
[05:42] <Jack_Sparrow> skavenge:  wasnt there one more step not in the reps
[05:43] <agamotto> Diablita:  En Ingles, por favor o mueve #ubuntu_es
[05:43] <milla> hola diablita
[05:43] <Vaske_Car> Is there any tutorial how to install Ubuntu from the internet? I have Laptop that does not have CD drive...
[05:43] <Vaske_Car> It has Floppy
[05:43] <skavenge> Jack_Sparrow: not on the restricted formats page, no, says just install gstreamer0.8-mad for playback
[05:43] <Jack_Sparrow> pete6:  do you have your backup xorg handy.. start with that
[05:43] <Jack_Sparrow> !restricted
[05:43] <ubotu> For lots of multimedia issues this page has the useful information you want: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  see also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - Please use free formats: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[05:43] <milla> i have installed gstreamer0.8-mad and still no mp3 playback
[05:43] <tanlaan> does anyone know if scripts are aloud to be put into sessionstartup?
[05:44] <_joe> milla: what software are you using for mp3 playback?
[05:44] <milla> totem
[05:44] <_joe> milla: ah. have you tried rhythmbox?
[05:44] <_joe> milla: just to test
[05:44] <Jack_Sparrow> skavenge:  w32codecs
[05:44] <agamotto> milla:  I think you still need the w32codecs
[05:44] <skavenge> aha!
[05:44] <_joe> incorrect
[05:44] <_joe> i had mp3 playback just fine on 5.10 without w32codecs
[05:44] <agamotto> joe:  Really, cool?
[05:44] <_joe> yeppers :)
[05:44] <liam> hey, what file do fonts go in?
[05:44] <Jack_Sparrow> joe.. most need it
[05:45] <_joe> Jack_Sparrow: interesting. what do you mean by "most". most files or most people?
[05:45] <Jack_Sparrow> liam~./fonts
[05:45] <liam> thanks
[05:45] <tanlaan> does anyone know if scripts are aloud to be put into sessionstartup?
[05:45] <skavenge> milla; paste these lines in terminal: wget -c http://www.debian-multimedia.org/pool/main/w/w32codecs/w32codecs_20060611-0.0_i386.deb
[05:45] <Jack_Sparrow> joe.. most systems/users need w32codcs to run mp3
[05:45] <MOWVI> nevermind, the package for mp3 I found is only for 6.06
[05:45] <skavenge> milla; then run : sudo dpkg -i w32codecs_20060611-0.0_i386.deb
[05:45] <skavenge>     *
[05:45] <_joe> Jack_Sparrow: so some systems, like mine, are just freak accidents that somehow don't?
[05:46] <Jack_Sparrow> _joe:  consider yourself lucky
[05:46] <JethroDawnfine> talking about mp3 playback, is it a big deal to exchange Rhythmbox for Amarok when you're using Gnome? I really prefer Amarok, but it would install lots of KDE stuff on my computer... does it worth?
[05:46] <_joe> Jack_Sparrow: hehe
[05:46] <agamotto> I found Totem to be useless
[05:46] <feross> hey I need to change the default keymap. I use dvorak so on install I chose dvorak but the login window is now dvorak. I need to change it so that the default is qwerty. tried dpkg-reconfigure console-data but that didn't help. Looked around for a howto but no use. THe login window options changed it but then it goes back to dvorak after a reboot.
[05:46] <MOWVI> mp3 playback package that works: gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3
[05:46] <ic56> tanlaan: in unix systems, scripts can go anywhere binaries go.  So the answer is yes.
[05:46] <skavenge> MOW; breezy doesnt use 0.10
[05:47] <MOWVI> I know, but I'm just saying, for some reason mp3 playback is failing on the mad package, even on dapper
[05:47] <tanlaan> well then i have no idea why its not working
[05:47] <milla> paste these lines in terminal: wget -c http://www.debian-multimedia.org/pool/main/w/w32codecs/w32codecs_20060611-0.0_i386.deb
[05:47] <milla> yeah
[05:47] <milla> i have pasted it on terminal
[05:47] <MOWVI> try automatrix milla
[05:47] <skavenge> MOWVI: dapper doesnt use mad it uses gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
[05:47] <milla> it gives me an error
[05:47] <skavenge> milla; what error
[05:47] <Jack_Sparrow> !automatix
[05:47] <ubotu> Automatix is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. For help with and discussion of automatix please join #automatix.
[05:47] <milla> 404 you know what it means haha
[05:48] <MOWVI> yeah, that, it doesn't work skavenge
[05:48] <milla> http error 404
[05:48] <skavenge> MOWVI: im running dapper thats how i got my mp3 playback, with the ugly package
[05:48] <Jack_Sparrow> skavenge: why not have her follow the wiki
[05:48] <MOWVI> that's what I did when I was using 5.10, automatrix for everything, had no serious problems, stuff just worked, as it should
[05:48] <skavenge> Jack_Sparrow: she says the w32codecs site is giving her a 404 ..
[05:48] <MOWVI> skavenge: it didn't work for me for some reason
[05:48] <ic56> tanlaan: where exactly are you putting the script?
[05:49] <milla> ?
[05:49] <milla> 404 it means not found
[05:49] <MOWVI> they say automatrix has flaws, but as big of a flaw as packages that should work don't work?
[05:49] <milla> im so sad....
[05:49] <_joe> milla: have you tried rhythmbox?
[05:49] <tanlaan> ok its a script to run a program i have, like i have to cd to the folder to run it *in terminal*
[05:49] <milla> and sleepy
[05:49] <milla> yeah
[05:49] <milla> it doesnt work wither
[05:49] <milla> either
[05:49] <_joe> it doesn't work? what error do you get?
[05:49] <tanlaan> and in session i just go to sessionstartup and add that script to startup
[05:50] <skavenge> milla; i havent used it but suspposedly automatix will install all that for you .. i dont know what to say if the site for w32codecs is down
[05:50] <ic56> tanlaan: in terminal, there is no need to cd to the script's location.
[05:50] <milla> it says this file is not an audio stram
[05:50] <ic56> tanlaan: I'm not a GUI person, I cannot answer that part of your question.
[05:50] <skavenge> milla; try that paste again anyhow the site isnt down i just checked
[05:51] <Jack_Sparrow> milla:  you are doing those lines one at a time right?
[05:51] <tanlaan> what do you mean there is no reason?
[05:51] <_joe> milla: that is strange. you are quite positive you have "gstreamer0.8-mad" installed?
[05:51] <tanlaan> how am i supposed to run the script if im not in its location?
[05:51] <milla> yeah
[05:51] <milla> should i reboot
[05:51] <_joe> milla: no, no need to reboot
[05:51] <milla> ive updated my kernel too
[05:51] <ic56> tanlaan: by specifying its location on the command line.
[05:51] <ic56> tanlaan.  Give me the specifics and I'll give you an example.
[05:52] <milla> i dont wanna drink again in my life
[05:52] <skavenge> milla; you still may need w32codecs, and that wget command i pasted is the way to get it, the site is up i didnt get a 404
[05:52] <_joe> milla: you restarted your audio player program after you installed gstreamer0.8-mad?
[05:52] <milla> it gave me ubuntu
[05:52] <noi5emaker> Q: i have a dual boot Powerbook ,(OSX and Dapper) but after upgrading , i cant get to Dapper. What happened to yaboot????
[05:52] <milla> wait for me
[05:52] <milla> im going to reboot the machine
[05:52] <milla> and grab a glass of vodka
[05:52] <tanlaan> how would i type it?
[05:52] <_joe> milla: there's no need to reboot, but do so if you like :)
[05:52] <ic56> tanlaan:  Give me the specifics and I'll give you an example.
[05:52] <tanlaan> ok
[05:52] <_joe> heh, vodka. i actually had a shot of the stuff about 20 minutes ago
[05:53] <tanlaan> /home/tanlaan/mux2.4/game
[05:53] <tanlaan> game is the folder that Startmux is located
[05:53] <dagrump_> like a bad penny, im back!
[05:53] <wastrel> i'm going to set up my printer
[05:53] <icebreeze> hmmmm for some reason when i go to run glxgears my system hardlocks
[05:54] <ic56> tanlaan: what is your current directory in the Terminal?  Use "pwd" to find out.
[05:54] <tanlaan> /home/tanlaan
[05:55] <ic56> tanlaan: ok.  You can execute the script in the following equivalent alternate ways (pick whichever is least typing):  /home/tanlaan/mux2.4/game/Startmux
[05:55] <ic56> tanlaan: ~/mux2.4/game
[05:55] <icebreeze> can someone help me figure out why exactly my system hardlocks when i try to run glxgears? I have a savage video card.   I've looked on the forums and i can't seem to find anything similar to my problem.  this is a fresh install.
[05:55] <wenko> http://www.qdb.us/60934
[05:55] <MOWVI> some awesome person really needs to make and host a package that will call up all multimedia packages
[05:56] <Jack_Sparrow>   ~  tilde is to the left of the number one
[05:56] <ic56> tanlaan: oops, that should have been: ~/mux2.4/game/Startmux
[05:56] <MOWVI> I mean at least, better yet would be to include it on the disk, but that's not happening
[05:56] <ic56> tanlaan: mux2.4/game/Startmux
[05:56] <ic56> tanlaan: bash mux2.4/game/Startmux
[05:56] <Jack_Sparrow> MOWVI:  you run into the gnu problem
[05:56] <tanlaan> its not working
[05:56] <ic56> tanlaan: that covers the general possibilities.  You can try permutations thereof too
[05:56] <noi5emaker> nalioth: hey. i have a question for you. How can i fix a broken yaboot, when i dont get a menu at login?
[05:57] <skavenge> a whole other deal is having people enabling repos .. i wish we could have them all on out of the box but thats not going to happen either
[05:57] <ic56> tanlaan: define "not working".  What is the error message?
[05:57] <Jack_Sparrow> noi sorry not many Mac people around
[05:57] <wastrel> it isn't difficult to enable a repository
[05:57] <tanlaan> i tried it in multiple ways and it said no such file or directory
[05:57] <skavenge> wastrel: to brand new users it can be challenging
[05:58] <skavenge> the problem is the wiki and that say 'for mp3 do this', well thats all well and good but you need the repos on first, alot of people miss that step i think
[05:58] <Jack_Sparrow> skavenge: and it gives up a purpose in life
[05:58] <pete6> Jack_Sparrow, do you know what i mean by a wiping effect? like how if i open or move a window it wipes from top to bottom
[05:58] <MOWVI> Jack_Sparrow: other distros already do this
[05:58] <skavenge> Jack_Sparrow: hah
[05:58] <ic56> tanlaan: either you are mistyping the name, or you are incorrect about the names of the script.
[05:58] <tanlaan> /home/tanlaan/mux2.4/game
[05:58] <tanlaan> thats the directory im in
[05:58] <tanlaan> like
[05:58] <Jack_Sparrow> pete6:  yes I know the wiping effect
[05:58] <tanlaan> to start the script normally
[05:59] <MOWVI> although in truth it would be best for ubuntu to remain "clean" from pesterings, so it's better the way it is
[05:59] <noi5emaker> nalioth: Its ok, its me...nicholaspaul:)
[05:59] <pete6> is it possible that my onboard video isn't enough or is incompatible with ubuntu?
[05:59] <ic56> tanlaan: and the name of the script?  Try: "ls mux2.f/game"  Is Startmux in there?
[05:59] <ic56> tanlaan: and the name of the script?  Ooops -->Try: "ls mux2.4/game"  Is Startmux in there?
[05:59] <Jack_Sparrow> pete6:  It was running some resolutions that worked correct?
[06:00] <pete6> yes
[06:00] <adam-tropics_> Anyone have the cpu frequency applet working on a celeron M ? It works but left click opions gone!
[06:00] <Jack_Sparrow> pete6:  So restore your backup xorg...

[06:02] <ic56> tanlaan: try ls -lb  Are there any wierd characters in the filename?
[06:02] <jfields> hello all
[06:02] <lufis> :-[
[06:02] <Jack_Sparrow> pete6:  you are welcome.. goodnight
[06:03] <lufis> can someone explain restricted modules to me?
[06:03] <tanlaan> no
[06:03] <ic56> tanlaan: yes that should work too but not any differently than any of the other methods I gave you.  If they didn't work, this won't either.
[06:03] <Jack_Sparrow> lufis:  things you need to play copyrighted formats
[06:03] <lufis> Jack_Sparrow: In the kernel?
[06:03] <ic56> tanlaan: paste the one line of ouptut for that file in channel here for me to see.
[06:03] <Jack_Sparrow> !restricted

[06:03] <tomlobato> Hello! is there some trick to get ubuntu accessing DVD like HDs, using DVD-RAM feature?
[06:04] <cwillu> how do I configure proxy_http to only allow access to a particular domain (not a reverse proxy though, clients will be treating it as their regular proxy)
[06:04] <Jack_Sparrow> lufis: read up there then ask questions
[06:04] <tanlaan> blah
[06:04] <tanlaan> forget this
[06:04] <tanlaan> i give up
[06:04] <tanlaan> lol
[06:04] <cwillu> oops, definately the wrong channel
[06:04] <ic56> tanlaan: ok
[06:04] <tanlaan> bye
[06:04] <lufis> I'm not asking about multimedia, I know what restricted formats are
[06:04] <Jack_Sparrow> lufis: one and the same
[06:04] <lufis> I'm talking about restricted modules which are installed with the kernel
[06:05] <Jack_Sparrow> lufis:  better questions make for better answers
[06:05] <lufis> Jack_Sparrow: How fucking clear could I possibly get?
[06:07] <tomlobato> Can ubuntu use DVD-RAM feature??
[06:07] <tomlobato> How?
[06:07] <icebreeze> sight i feel so much like a noob again not being able to get this savage card to work with opengl without hardlocking my system.  I've ran gentoo for so long and now a distro that is supposed to set everything up for you is giving me problems lol.....
[06:07] <icebreeze> *sigh
[06:07] <tomlobato> cause Im trying without success
[06:08] <user1> hey channel
[06:08] <cwillu> hey user1
[06:09] <user1> I am tring to instal a kernel from the linux wacom project
[06:09] <tanlaan> i figured out what was wrong with my shell script!
[06:10] <user1> were would I find the patches to make it a Ubuntu kernel
[06:10] <ic56> tanlaan: yes? share!
[06:10] <csk> hi all. i am trying to get my partitions to mount in ubuntu. i got my windows partition to mount, but i have another partion (vfat) that states "unable to mount the selected volume". i went to /etc/fstab and added "/dev/hda5 /media/Share vfat unmask=0000 0 0 " after creating the share folder. its still the same. can anyone please help
[06:10] <MOWVI> in the repositories, what is the newest nvidia driver that will work on a Vanta LT?
[06:11] <MOWVI> or is there any at all that will?
[06:11] <tanlaan> it tries to find mux.config
[06:11] <tanlaan> /home/tanlaan/mux2.4/game/Startmux: line 7: mux.config: No such file or directory
[06:11] <user1> or are they not avaliable ?
[06:11] <ic56> csk: point your browser to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Page down to "Instructions", and read till the next blank line.  Follow the instructions to save and run the file.  It will setup your /etc/fstab and mountpoints in /media so you can see your NTFS filesystems in Places> Computer.
[06:11] <ic56> csk: The script will ask you if you want to enable NTFS write.  Answer no.  If you already tried unsuccessfully to add your Windows filesystems to /etc/fstab , add a -b flag to the script invocation.  I authored this version, so I can help if anything goes wrong.
[06:12] <ic56> tanlaan: that's a different error message from before.  What were you doing wrong before?
[06:12] <tanlaan> most likely i typed something wrong
[06:13] <ic56> tanlaan: good.  now you understand.
[06:13] <tanlaan> but that means i would need to change the shell script
[06:13] <tanlaan> so that it knows which directory to look for...right?
[06:13] <Jack_Sparrow> csk... /dev/sda4 /media/sda4 vfat rw,user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 0 0  is how I have my fstab
[06:14] <ic56> tanlaan: no it doesn't.  What this error message is saying is that you need to supply a configuration file
[06:14] <tanlaan> say i know which is in the folder i normally cd to
[06:14] <tanlaan> which means it looks for it in the directory i am in
[06:14] <tanlaan> so i need to change it so it looks in a different directory
[06:15] <ic56> tanlaan: the config file must be called mux.config but it doesn't tell you where to put it or what should be in the file.  This is normal.  It means it's time to read the documentation :-)
[06:15] <Consty> NVU vs Bluefish, anyone know which is better?
[06:15] <jfields> i'm looking for a good laptop that works without much problem in linux..... i was lookin at one of the acer's on newegg... and the ones from cyberpower...
[06:15] <arapehl> Hey, has anyone ever gotten IE to work on Linux? As a web developer it's kinda important for me to be able to test my work in IE as well as FF.
[06:15] <Jack_Sparrow> jfields: my dells work fine and my hp work fine
[06:16] <bimberi> arapehl: yes, using wine
[06:16] <MOWVI> I would say NVU
[06:16] <bimberi> !wine
[06:16] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[06:16] <Consty> MOWVI: Think so?  Just curious
[06:16] <tanlaan> no no no
[06:16] <arapehl> bimberi: thanks!
[06:16] <skavenge> everything on my dell laptop ran out of box with ubuntu except the wireless nic but its broadcom so thats expected
[06:16] <bimberi> arapehl: frankscorner.org has good info for getting things like IE running
[06:16] <MOWVI> Consty: Yes but just my opinion
[06:16] <jfields> i also need to know about wireless... anyone use the new 11n under linux yet?
[06:16] <bimberi> arapehl: np :)
[06:16] <tanlaan> mux.config is in /home/tanlaan/mux2.4/game/
[06:17] <jfields> skavenge, ok... so what wireless are good.. i heard something of atheros??
[06:17] <ic56> tanlaan: did you install it to that location or did you just unpack it there?  Installing is the process of configuring a piece of software with information about the locations of config files, executables, etc.
[06:18] <tanlaan> i already configured the file
[06:18] <csk> ic56 - i have run the script and it states /dev/hda1 - already in /etc/fstab (same for hda5) should i delete that code from fstab?
[06:18] <tanlaan> blah
[06:19] <skavenge> jfields: dunno there i would do some web research on what is nativley supported in linux if you really want no headaches .. most (like mine) can use the windows driver and a program called ndiswrapper to work anyway though
[06:19] <tanlaan> the script is made to only be unpacked
[06:19] <tanlaan> and it is looking in the place it is to look for other files
[06:19] <skavenge> i just had to tinker a little
[06:19] <agamotto> Here is a good one for sound experts:  How is it that sound can work for movies played within a web page, but not work within Mplayer, etc...?
[06:19] <tanlaan> which means i need to change the script to look in a specific directory instead of the directory it is in
[06:20] <Toma-> agamotto: mplayer might be using a different sound system
[06:20] <ic56> tanlaan: if you don't understand the script, post in pastebin.  I'll take a quick look and venture an opinion as to what you've done wrong.
[06:20] <jfields> cool
[06:20] <Toma-> agamotto: what browser, what plugin and what sound system do you have selected in mplayer?
[06:20] <ic56> csk: run the script with the -b flag -- it will backup your /etc/fstab and re-generate it, making a pretty decent attempt at getting it right.
[06:21] <tanlaan> http://pastebin.ca/76811
[06:21] <tanlaan> thats the script
[06:21] <tanlaan> on line 7 you will see what im talking about
[06:21] <ic56> csk: it'll save you a lot of work, if you're a newbie
[06:21] <agamotto> Hmmm... Firefox 1.5, the Mplayer plugins for the browser, and I not sure how to find the sound server with KDE
[06:22] <Toma-> agamotto: ahh. open up mplayer
[06:22] <agamotto> Toma-:  Ok, done
[06:23] <Toma-> agamotto: right click the movie screen and select Preferences. go over to the Audio tab and see the driver its using
[06:23] <ikken> how can I search for text inside a document. I want to find a certain phrase in a certain document, but I'm not sure what the document is, only the phrase - how do I search for the phrase throughout the entire system?
[06:23] <csk> ic56 - thanks that seems to have worked will reboot and see
[06:23] <agamotto> oss is the one highlighted
[06:23] <_joe> anyone know how to disable daemons/services from starting on startup?
[06:24] <Toma-> agamotto: try selecting alsa or arts
[06:24] <Toma-> agamotto: and then give it a go
[06:24] <wastrel> ikken:  grep -lr "search phrase" files
[06:24] <ikken> ok
[06:24] <ikken> thanks
[06:24] <ic56> csk: this is a poorly written script.  Makes a lot of assumptions.  One of them is that mux.config is in your current directory when you invoke the script.  So, if you cwd is /home/tanlaan, then mux.config must be tehre too.  If mux.config is in mux2.4.... wherever it was that you unpacked the sw, then it's easiest if you cd to that location and execute the script like so: ./<script name>
[06:24] <wastrel> ikken:  where files are the files you want to search
[06:25] <hektik> whats the differnce between compiz-quinn and compiz-aglx o_O
[06:25] <^catalyst> hrmm, is there a wine support channel ?
[06:25] <tanlaan> thats what ive been saying!
[06:25] <wastrel> hektik:  maybe ask on #ubuntu-xgl
[06:25] <tanlaan> lol
[06:25] <hektik> wastrel: ahh, such a channel exists
[06:26] <tanlaan> as i said i would need to change the script to look in a specific directory instead of assuming that its being executed from that directory
[06:26] <ic56> tanlaan: there's more problems.  It never defines the variable $PIDFILE .  You need define it before invoking the script
[06:26] <agamotto> Toma-:  Ok, I just did that, and tried to play a clip from my hd... no sound
[06:26] <Tmob> my suspend/resume doesn't resume the X properly... it hangs up after it powers on.. anyone nkow how to fix this? i'm usnig it on a Dell d410 lapto
[06:26] <agamotto> Go figure
[06:27] <tanlaan> why would i need to
[06:27] <tanlaan> it seems to work
[06:27] <Toma-> agamotto: dont quote me on this, but it might need a restart (Mplayer that is)
[06:27] <agamotto> Ahhh, ok
[06:27] <tanlaan> like if its already running it gives me the right error
[06:27] <ic56> tanlaan: yeah, you can get by without it.  Oh, wait, it's probably being defined inside mux.config  the latter in fact becomes part of your script.
[06:28] <tanlaan> most likely
[06:28] <ic56> tanlaan: ok. so you're cool?  all done?
[06:28] <tanlaan> umm i guess
[06:28] <tanlaan> i basically have to do a lot of changing directories
[06:29] <ic56> tanlaan: eh?  Why?
[06:29] <tanlaan> so i can use the script on startup
[06:30] <tanlaan> otherwise i cant use it]
[06:30] <ic56> tanlaan: oh, you must mean for finding mux.config  ok.  Do you speak Bash or is it foreign to you?
[06:30] <ikken> where is thunderbird mail stored?
[06:30] <tanlaan> kinda foreign but im good
[06:30] <tanlaan> bbs dinner
[06:30] <ic56> I'll fix it in paste bin for you. hang on
[06:30] <agamotto> Toma-:  Hmmm, still no go
[06:31] <Toma-> agamotto: im sorry, im kinda busy atm, might wanna ask again and see if someone else can help. basically, its your driver that you need tweaking in mplayer, or even the Kde sounds system in control centre
[06:32] <agamotto> Ahhh, ok.  I will try a few things then
[06:32] <Toma-> sorry!
[06:32] <ic56> tanlaan: ok.  can you see the changed script?
[06:32] <tach00_> question, what directory has the desktop backgrounds?
[06:33] <ic56> tanlaan: 76835
[06:33] <mejobloggs> hey, can someone tell me where the howto is for installing nvidia drives, and configuring x ?
[06:33] <Jack_Sparrow> !nv
[06:33] <ubotu> I know nothing about nv
[06:33] <Jack_Sparrow> !nvidia
[06:33] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your monitor, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:33] <bimberi> ikken: try in ~/mozilla
[06:33] <mejobloggs> thanks
[06:33] <bimberi> ikken: oops, try in ~/.mozilla
[06:34] <ic56> tanlaan: just do this:  mv <wherever mux.config is currently>  ~/.muxrc
[06:34] <agamotto> Ok, this is going to sound ignorant, but where is the volume control kept in KDE?
[06:35] <ic56> tanlaan: then hmmm, do you want the script in your PATH?    Or are you happy invoking it from where it is?
[06:35] <Hobbsee> agamotto: alt+f2, kmix
[06:35] <agamotto> danke
[06:35] <adu> hi
[06:35] <tach00_> question, what directory has the desktop backgrounds?
[06:36] <MOWVI> o_O
[06:36] <adu> MOWVI: ?
[06:37] <Timir> Uhm, could anyone point me to a game chat on freenode?
[06:37] <ic56> tach00_: looking for you
[06:37] <tach00_> thanks ic56
[06:38] <ubuntuinstaller> hi. how do I recover Windows XP after a failure of the ubuntu installer?
[06:38] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntuinstaller: boot to a floppy or 98cd and fdisk /mbr
[06:38] <MOWVI> have a nice day or night, time for me to go
[06:39] <Jack_Sparrow> !mbr
[06:39] <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
[06:40] <mejobloggs> !nvidia
[06:40] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your monitor, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:41] <tanlaan> ok bak
[06:41] <mejobloggs> hi, im having problems following the BinaryDRiverHowTo
[06:41] <mejobloggs> for nvidia it says "sudo nvidia-glx-config enable"
[06:42] <mejobloggs> but when I do that, the terminal tells me......
[06:42] <ubuntuinstaller> Jack_Sparrow: I wish I had one... I'll try to find a way to perform fdisk /mbr. thanks
[06:43] <ic56> tach00_: sorry, I have that stuff disabled and can't find it now.  If you can figure out the name of the background image, you search for it.  Wait, are you sure this isn't the splash image loaded by grub?
[06:43] <mejobloggs> whats wrong with pastebin!! arggh
[06:43] <ic56> tanlaan: are you ok with the changed script in pastebin.ca/76835 ?
[06:44] <tach00_> no i was looking for some backgrounds that i have in my root dir, but cant seem to find the folder there in, i did a search for *.jpg but not sure thats the format
[06:44] <skavenge> ubuntuinstaller: bootdisk.com has some with fdisk on it, might wanna check that out
[06:44] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntuinstaller: any windows cd will do
[06:44] <mejobloggs> anyone have another pastebin link i can use?
[06:45] <mejobloggs> pastebin.com isnt working for me
[06:45] <wastrel> !pastebin
[06:45] <ubotu> 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 (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[06:45] <ubuntuinstaller> skavage: thanks!
[06:45] <skavenge> np
[06:45] <Jack_Sparrow> tach png maybe
[06:46] <mejobloggs> ok
[06:46] <tanlaan> idk if that would work
[06:46] <mejobloggs> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16984 <-- can you look at that please?
[06:46] <tach00_> thats what i thought too, but not, thats what all the icons and stuff are
[06:46] <mejobloggs> the BinaryHOwTo thing never mentions that
[06:47] <tach00_> almost has to be jpg jack
[06:47] <tanlaan> i say it should change to . /home/tanlaan/mux2.4/game/mux.config
[06:47] <mejobloggs> no one gonna help me? :(
[06:48] <ic56> tanlaan: ok.  Whatever feels cleanest to you.
[06:48] <tach00_> lol sounds easy to just do a search but there is a unbelieveable amount of pics on this machine lol
[06:48] <tanlaan> ok
[06:48] <ubuntuinstaller> I'll try a "rescue disk" I found and then bootdisk.com. bye. Do I need to post a bug report for the installer crash on partitioning or is it a known bug? I found few threads on your forums but apparently no answer
[06:48] <dli> mejobloggs, you didn't follow the nvidia howto
[06:48] <tanlaan> ill try both
[06:48] <mejobloggs> dli: i did!
[06:48] <mejobloggs> dli: why do you say that?
[06:49] <mejobloggs> dli: i am following this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[06:50] <mejobloggs> i installed nvidia-glx, and the linux-restricted-modulues where allready installed
[06:50] <tanlaan> brb im gonna try it out
[06:50] <dli> mejobloggs, nvidia-glx shouldn't modify xorg.conf
[06:50] <ubuntuinstaller> bb
[06:50] <mejobloggs> dli: well that is all i have done, nothing else
[06:51] <polishkoop> I'm using dapper drake 6.06 and I can't get my wireless card to work.  I successfully installed the windows drivers with ndiswrapper because there are no native drivers for my wifi card.  I also configured the card under eth1 <-- which is what it came up as.  I can't seem to connect to the internet with it though.  Anyone have any ideas
[06:51] <Xen> Does anyone know if there's a good VM app for linux that can run near native speeds?
[06:51] <mejobloggs> dli: can you tell me what to do next?
[06:52] <dli> mejobloggs, dpkg-reconfigure first, then, follow the binary howto again
[06:52] <Gareth1> Xen, Parallels Workstation (not free though)
[06:52] <mejobloggs> dli: exactly the same thing is going to happen, i did nothing wrong
[06:52] <Xen> Gareth1: yeah.. heard of parallels.. need something free ><
[06:53] <dli> polishkoop, which chipset?
[06:53] <mejobloggs> dli: what does dpkg -reconfigure do anyway?
[06:53] <polishkoop> dli: it's broadcom.
[06:53] <dli> polishkoop, broadcom 43xx? it's in kernel now
[06:53] <tach00_> question, what directory has the desktop backgrounds?
[06:54] <Gareth1> Xen, there was a comparison of virtualization software somewhere on wikipedia, let me see if I can dig it up
[06:54] <dli> polishkoop, no need to go ndiswrapper
[06:54] <lecaros> hi
[06:54] <polishkoop> dli: it is bcm4306.  that has native linux support now?
[06:54] <mejobloggs> hi
[06:54] <dli> polishkoop, yes, bcm43xx is supported natively
[06:55] <polishkoop> dli: nice, i gotta figure out how to get that working.  Thanks man
[06:55] <Gareth1> dli, the bcm43xx driver doesn't seem to support more than 802.11b speeds (ie 11 mbit)
[06:55] <mejobloggs> its not working :(
[06:55] <Xen> Gareth1: ah okay thx
[06:55] <dli> polishkoop, not sure about ubuntu kernel, but you can always get kernel source from kernel.org
[06:55] <tanlaan> my way didnt work
[06:55] <lecaros> someone has configured and usb dsl modem? the device is working, but pppoeconf can't configure it
[06:55] <tanlaan> im gonna try yours
[06:55] <dli> Gareth1, still better than ndiswrapper :(
[06:55] <ic56> tanlaan: why didn't your way work?!  it's no better or worse than mine
[06:55] <Gareth1> there's always the angry hatemail to broadcom
[06:56] <ic56> tanlaan: what exactly did you do?  Don't fly blind.
[06:56] <dli> Gareth1, is rt2x00 is still the best supported?
[06:56] <tanlaan> maybe because i put a space
[06:56] <skavenge> nothing wrong with ndiswrapper, at least it works
[06:56] <tanlaan> i put
[06:56] <bimberi> !broadcom
[06:56] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[06:57] <tanlaan> . /home/tanlaan/mux2.4/game/mud.config
[06:57] <efox> im doing an install on my desktop, how much space should i allocate for /boot ?
[06:57] <Gareth1> dli, not sure
[06:57] <free> hello
[06:57] <ic56> tanlaan: the syntax is correct.  but "mud.config" should be mu *x* .config
[06:57] <tanlaan> what?
[06:57] <dli> Gareth1, no point to be angry, sell the bcm card on ebay, get a rt2500/zd1211, even an intel ipw3945
[06:57] <tanlaan> why?
[06:58] <ic56> isn't that the correct filename? mux.config ?
[06:58] <Gareth1> dli, I've an intergrated broadcom 4318 in my acer unfortuantely
[06:58] <tanlaan> OOO
[06:58] <tanlaan> blah im dumb
[06:58] <tanlaan> lol
[06:58] <skavenge> broadcom's work fine with ndiswrapper, mine does
[06:58] <tanlaan> oops :D
[06:58] <Gareth1> I didn't really know anything about linux at all when I'd bought my laptop, I would have definitely gone for an intel chipset if I had
[06:58] <tanlaan> wait
[06:58] <tanlaan> nvm
[06:58] <ic56> tanlaan: if you can't type right, you should *always* cut and paste.
[06:58] <dli> Gareth1, then, people should check before ordering
[06:58] <tanlaan> here it is pasted
[06:58] <tanlaan> . /home/tanlaan/mux2.4/game/mux.config
[06:59] <t94xr> ic56: i can see that copy and paste every word in a sentence :P
[06:59] <dli> Gareth1, I heard intel is making a fully GPLed driver for its ipw3945
[06:59] <Gareth1> wow
[06:59] <polishkoop> dli: where should i look to find out how to get my wifi card workign with the linux drivers?
[06:59] <Gareth1> I think I'd kiss whoever sold me the laptop
[07:00] <tanlaan> maybe it shouldnt have a space?
[07:00] <lecaros> nobody? :(
[07:00] <tanlaan> like ./home/tanlaan/mux2.4/game/mux.config
[07:00] <dli> polishkoop, download kernel source from kernel.org , you can see yourself
[07:00] <ic56> tanlaan: no, the space is *required*.  The `.' is a verb, the /home/... is it's argument.
[07:00] <Gareth1> lecaros, unfortuantely not much experience with usb modems
[07:00] <efox> anyone ?
[07:00] <efox> my laptop has 128MB but i think that was too much for /boot
[07:00] <tanlaan> ok
[07:01] <Gareth1> what I do know is that they are a pain
[07:01] <joselecaros> !ping
[07:01] <ubotu> pong
[07:01] <dli> polishkoop, better, download a livecd which supports bcm43 :)
[07:01] <tanlaan> then why didnt it work :(
[07:01] <ardchoille> joselecaros: hahahaha
[07:01] <ardchoille> That's the first time I have seen the bot show a sense of humour
[07:01] <polishkoop> dli: i think i already have kernel-source for my kernel
[07:01] <Gareth1> efox, anywhere between 40-200 mb should be great
[07:01] <dli> polishkoop, this is a beta release livecd ( not for ubuntu!), http://linktrim.com/5c5
[07:01] <ic56> tanlaan: give me more than just "doesn't work".  Your wasting a lot of time with meaningless short answers.  You need to be giving explicit error messages, if you want to get effective help from people here.
[07:02] <skavenge> bcm43xx is in dapper, HAL thought thats what mine was and i had to blacklist the module to get the ndiswrapper driver to load
[07:02] <dli> tanlaan, right, " it doesn't work " doesn't bring in much help , be specific
[07:02] <tanlaan> no i meant like i set it up, and then tried to connect to my server *which the script starts* and it didnt allow connection
[07:02] <polishkoop> skavenge: if if they have the driver how come u were using ndiswrapper?
[07:02] <tanlaan> which means it didnt work
[07:03] <tanlaan> ill see what the error is
[07:03] <tanlaan> one sec
[07:03] <efox> Gareth1:  but thats such a large range...is there no way of narrowing it down. What would recommend ? My current config is 128mb...
[07:03] <efox> skavenge:  do you kno if the bcm43xx can go the full 54Mbs...i followed a howto, and it said i can only get 11Mbs
[07:04] <tanlaan> for some reason it didnt give me an error but didnt start it up
