[06:46] <mrebola> what its grong with my xfc?
[06:46] <steve_> hi, i am having a probelm with my system update.  it looks like it is something to do with a kernel image update that it wants to do.
[06:46] <pchilds> OK this is a restricted format thing?
[06:47] <ortega10> pchilds: m4p is just mp4/aac audio, you can play that with totem or rhythmbox or whatever, if you install the appropriate gstreamer plugins
[06:47] <steve_> i have posted at: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10791/
[06:47] <Dasnipa`> costaspapa, is your problem not being able to access the files in a certain folder right? where is this folder located
[06:47] <steve_> i wonder if i have to delete some of these other kernel images...
[06:47] <ortega10> pchilds: open up synaptic, search for gstreamer plugins, then install them all, and voila
[06:47] <mrebola> hi, somebody know an espanish chanel of ubuntu?

[06:48] <kristjans> How can I fix the issue that sometimes when Ubuntu is booted up, the USB devices are not working?
[06:48] <ortega10> pchilds: if you bought them in the itunes store, they most likely have drm
[06:48] <sakobatoneko> anyone know how

[06:49] <ortega10> pchilds: drm are those stupid restrictions on media files, like you can play them only in some computers, and/or a certain number of times, and/or only in certain players, etc
[06:49] <pchilds> Yes most of them I did purchase. I already have the gstreamer plugins on my system so that must be the issue
[06:49] <Pollywog> does the "-" character have some special function in bash?
[06:49] <Pollywog> bash shell

[06:49] <quirin> chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': Permission denied
[06:49] <erUSUL> asad2005: iirc you have to configure procmail to make postfix deliver the mail to your home dir and then point your mail client to the mail dir/file
[06:49] <quirin> what can i do?
[06:49] <guest101> HEY YOU! SALE! Ubuntu 6.10 ONLY FOR $99! SALE! Only $99 and you`ll lose much time configuring it!
[06:49] <Flannel> quirin: You shouldn't be running as root
[06:49] <chalmer> Tomcat_ :  when i click" windows network" / home/soyo comp/shared music . it displays tha folders w/ MP3's in it but when i click some  folders w/ .WMA's in it it will show them but other folders it will say this"The folder contents could not be displayed."Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of "Transistor"
[06:49] <ortega10> pchilds: let me find you the utility that kills the drm in apple mp4 files
[06:50] <quirin> without root it's : ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ chroot /mnt/hda7
[06:50] <quirin> chroot: cannot change root directory to /mnt/hda7: Operation not permitted
[06:50] <Tomcat_> chalmer: That's a security permissions problem, not a problem of supporting WMAs I think.
[06:50] <chalmer> Tomcat_ ok ty

[06:50] <ortega10> pchilds: wow jon lech johansen (dvd jon) did it again  :)

[06:50] <costaspapa> dasnipa  I try to install vmserver and i choose all the default.. but ii get an error
[06:51] <Tomcat_> chalmer: Check if the user has the correct permissions on Windows.
[06:51] <ortega10> pchilds: he found a way of circumventing the drm without even re-encoding the file
[06:51] <ep2011> (Before installing ubuntu)

[06:53] <zerogt86> I tried to set up my nvidia soundstorm, but it will not compile the nivdia drivers. ive given up on the nvidia drivers, but now the intel8x0 driver does not give me any sound (it used to before i tried the nvidia drivers). any idea how to get it working?
[06:54] <Pollywog> I think you have to mount the partition
[06:54] <quirin> i already did so
[06:54] <Pollywog> k
[06:54] <Pollywog> the mount command says it is mounted?
[06:54] <quirin> but i cant get into home
[06:54] <quirin> he always says permission denied
[06:55] <quirin> or something
[06:55] <quirin> i can see my home folder in nautilus
[06:55] <Pollywog> I think perhaps you mounted it with incorrect permissions
[06:55] <steve_> so, i think my kernel upgrade problem is due to my /boot partition being too full.  is there a command to check which kernel is being used so that i can safely remove the old versions?
[06:55] <chalmer> Tomcat_: when i click a song its displays this message "Totem could not play 'smb://daddys/Music (E)/2Pac/2Pac Live/01 Live Medley- California Love-So Many Tears.wma'.You do not have a decoder installed to handle this file.

[06:56] <quirin> i messed up with the rights of home because i wanted to create a second account
[06:56] <BigLebowski> Then you'll need to install w32codecs

[06:57] <Dumahen> how can i get back my ubuntu ? it has some problem after update plzz help me
[06:57] <BigLebowski> Pollywog, i assume it is, i have no idea. couldn't care less either way really.
[06:57] <Pollywog> quirin: have you tried chmod -R /home/username ?
[06:57] <ortega10> BigLebowski: no need for proprietary illegal win32codecs, which aren't allowed in any country not just the usa
[06:57] <quirin> yes, i think so
[06:57] <BigLebowski> ortega10. well, sorry, i didnt know wma was supported, i never use wma
[06:58] <Flannel> quirin, Pollywog, you don't want to recursively chmod your homedir
[06:58] <BigLebowski> ortega10, define illegal.
[06:58] <Pollywog> quirin: have you tried chown username.username -R /home/username ?
[06:58] <bayziders> I am in the ubuntu live cd and i deleted my windows partition so it is now unalocated space. but it will now let me add that space to my ubuntu partition. So how do I add it to my ubuntu partition?
[06:58] <ortega10> BigLebowski: what's forbidden by the law?  :)
[06:58] <BigLebowski> ortega10: Who's law? microsofts?
[06:58] <Pollywog> Flannel: yes I made a mistake
[06:58] <Pollywog> quirin: have you tried chown username.username -R /home/username ?

[06:58] <quirin> iam not sure
[06:58] <Pollywog> quirin: have you tried chown -R username.username /home/username ?
[06:58] <quirin> sorry
[06:58] <BigLebowski> ortega10: 'You used wma on linux, we're suing you' would NEVER hold up in court, atleast in the UK.
[06:59] <ortega10> BigLebowski: reverse-engineered media codecs may violate patents in countries that have them (eg usa), but they don't violate copyright laws
[06:59] <BigLebowski> And how does a codec come under copyright law? patent maybe.
[06:59] <quirin> the problem is that i cant access my home folder any longer
[06:59] <Poul^Laptop> what was the command again to shutdown all GUI, to be able to run nvidia driver install
[06:59] <Pollywog> oic
[06:59] <foutrelis> Poul^Laptop: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[06:59] <BigLebowski> ortega10: Then how is the free codec less illegal, it'd have to be reverse engineered to find out how the codec works
[06:59] <sakobatoneko> the account that im using doesnt have sudo how can activate it
[06:59] <hasahotrod> poul^laptop:  "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop"
[07:00] <Daem> For some reason, the Nvidia Xserver settings is not saving the resolution for the next time I login, can anyone point me in the right direction?
[07:00] <sakobatoneko> can someone help me
[07:00] <bayziders> can some one help me?
[07:00] <erUSUL> BigLebowski: but 'You distributed patented algorithms that decompress wma and you didn't pay us any royalties will hold up in court'
[07:00] <BigLebowski> sakobatoneko, add the username/group to the sudoers file.
[07:00] <foutrelis> Sakarias: By editing /etc/sudoers I think.
[07:00] <hasahotrod> does anyone know how to make gnome-power-manager use acpi instead of apm?
[07:00] <odat> can anyone help me get the java firefox plugin working
[07:00] <BigLebowski> erUSUL, if it was bundled with ubuntu, maybe, but thats a different story

[07:01] <shadowhywind> hay all just installed nvidia for the 20th time, and it actraulyl is semi-working.. it takes 15-20 mins for KDE to start.. any ideas?

[07:01] <foutrelis> shadowhywind: Do you use the ones provided at nvidia.com?
[07:01] <shadowhywind> its a nvidia problem.. if i change xorg back to nv everything works fine
[07:02] <BigLebowski> Plenty of chinese device manufacturers seem to get away with it fine.
[07:02] <shadowhywind> foutrelis yes
[07:02] <msgmikeh> Hi, I am getting gibberish trying to install U 6.10. The CD boots up, I get to the orange background, with would looks like bad pixels all over the screen. Any one have any ideas?
[07:02] <shadowhywind> along with the ones in the repo's and the ones from the envy script
[07:02] <shadowhywind> all do the same thing
[07:02] <msgmikeh> with what rather.. not would
[07:02] <BigLebowski> I'd personally just convert to flac, but as with dvd and swf, i need nonfree stuff aswell.
[07:02] <bayziders> not a single one of you knows what is wrong O_O
[07:02] <shadowhywind> if i connect an external monitor up, everything works peftect, expect of course the laptop monitor just turns off
[07:02] <Pollywog> msgmikeh: have you tried the alternate install CD?
[07:02] <FireCat> jrib: Thanks, that worked beautifully, now I can run a chooser on another vt and don't need a kvm switch :)
[07:02] <BigLebowski> bayziders, whats up?
[07:03] <eilker> where is kept *.deb files ? in etc/apt ?
[07:03] <foutrelis> shadowhywind: I suggest you removed those drivers and use only the ones provided by nvidia.com
[07:03] <jrib> FireCat: great
[07:03] <Pollywog> eilker: /var/cache/apt/archive
[07:03] <IndyGunFreak> msgmikeh: i agree with Pollywog try the altnerate install cd
[07:03] <shadowhywind> the ones from nvidia.com do the same issues
[07:03] <bayziders> I'm in my ubuntu live cd. I deleted my windows partition and now I want to add that to my ubuntu partition but it wont let me. So how do i do it

[07:04] <IndyGunFreak> rEvolution27: usr/share/pixmaps i think
[07:04] <Pollywog> eilker: /var/cache/apt/archives
[07:04] <msgmikeh> Pollywog: Okay, thank you, what alternate install CD? Sorry, I'm just a linux noob. :)
[07:04] <shadowhywind> k thanks anyways
[07:04] <Pollywog> I forgot the "s"
[07:04] <IndyGunFreak> !alternate | msg
[07:04] <ubotu> msg: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.
[07:04] <bayziders> so Biglwbowski do you know whats wrong?
[07:04] <Pollywog> msgmikeh: where you downloaded your iso you will also find the alternate CD iso
[07:04] <BigLebowski> bayziders, what is the problem?
[07:05] <bayziders> it wont let me add unallowcated space to existing partition.
[07:05] <BigLebowski> then i'm not sure
[07:05] <rEvolution27> are any of the gnome icons vector icons?
[07:05] <BigLebowski> brb
[07:05] <msgmikeh> Gotcha. Will, Is there instructions on the expert model install?
[07:05] <Pollywog> bayziders: you try qtparted?
[07:05] <IndyGunFreak> msgmikeh: its easy
[07:05] <bayziders> im in the ubuntu live cd
[07:05] <IndyGunFreak> just follow the instructions
[07:06] <msgmikeh> ok, I'll try it. :)
[07:06] <Daem> For some reason, the Nvidia Xserver settings is not saving the resolution for the next time I login, can anyone point me in the right direction?
[07:06] <theBrave> Hello, When I use Xgl, the fonts are twice as big, any ideas to fix that ?
[07:07] <Pollywog> bayziders: find QTparted on the CD or gparted if it is Gnome based
[07:07] <bayziders> okay then what
[07:07] <Pollywog> if it is not there use a Knoppix CD.
[07:07] <Pollywog> that should allow you to allowcate the space
[07:07] <Pollywog> allocate
[07:08] <bayziders> why can't I just do it from the live cd install thing
[07:08] <Pollywog> it is a graphical partitioning utility
[07:08] <msgmikeh> http://qtparted.sourceforge.net/
[07:08] <Pollywog> bayziders: I think you can I am just not certain
[07:08] <witless> is it possible to set the AI difficulty of xboard/gnuchess?  preferably to "brain-damaged"?
[07:08] <bayziders> its downloading qt parted
[07:09] <IndyGunFreak> witless: lol
[07:09] <rEvolution27> pixmaps doesn't have what I want, i'm looking for the icons that gnome uses, like the folder icon and hard drive icon
[07:09] <Pollywog> bayziders: no you don't need to downlaod it I think it is available from the Live cd
[07:09] <IndyGunFreak> rEvolution27: you'll have to change that another way, can't remember how.
[07:09] <IndyGunFreak> within your theme i think
[07:09] <Pollywog> is it KDE?
[07:10] <rEvolution27> i don't wanna change em, I just want to find the images themselves
[07:10] <bayziders> no its gnome

[07:23] <Pollywog> bayziders: you need to have it enabled in your kernel but the stock kernels have that enabled
[07:23] <Lynoure> Dumahen: sorry, I don't do beryl stuff
[07:23] <Pollywog> in Debian, alsaconf is part of the alsa-utils package but the Ubuntu package does not have it
[07:24] <bayziders> hold on

[07:24] <house_> i have the java firefox plugins installed but firefox isn't seeing them
[07:24] <Dumahen> Lynoure : i want to uninstall last installed pacages

[07:25] <Lynoure> !ati | Leo
[07:25] <ubotu> Leo: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto

[07:26] <Pollywog> sudo that
[07:26] <ep2011> defragging*
[07:26] <Lynoure> Dumahen: I told you, I do not help with beryl related stuff...
[07:26] <Pollywog> sudo apt-get remove <packagename>
[07:26] <Leo> thanks, will do
[07:26] <Dumahen> but it is not about berly
[07:27] <Dumahen> it is about ubuntu updates
[07:27] <Lynoure> Dumahen: Pollywog's command works if you know the package names and do not mind the packages being completely gone.
[07:27] <Pollywog> Dumahen: sudo apt-get remove <packagename>
[07:27] <nall> are there torrents of the install cds?
[07:27] <msgmikeh> Does U 6.10 support hard drives on controller cards?

[07:32] <Poul^Laptop> pollywog- i dnt have the libc6-dev installed, thats the one=?
[07:32] <steve_> i believe so.  my main reason to update is that not being able to update the kernel seems to break synaptic
[07:32] <Pollywog> I just use 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx' and that gets everything I need
[07:32] <ep2011> Can someone please look at my disk defragmener output picture and tell me if I should defrag again? http://img460.imageshack.us/img460/1969/fraggm9.png
[07:32] <xtknight> Poul^Laptop: current nvidia drivers do not work with feisty
[07:32] <Poul^Laptop> xtknight ok

[07:33] <Pollywog> iceonnet: : you installed Nvidia packages?
[07:33] <mohamed> it does not work
[07:34] <Poul^Laptop> xtknight, so basicly i cant get byrel to work with the new kernel.
[07:34] <lagartero> hello I have problems with the sound card, Help me!!!
[07:34] <iceonnet> Pollywog: nope.. ATI
[07:34] <xtknight> Poul^Laptop: that's correct
[07:34] <xtknight> Poul^Laptop: not until nvidia releases a fixed driver for kernel 2.6.20
[07:34] <Pollywog> oh I don't know about ATI
[07:34] <Poul^Laptop> well, i have had it working with 2.6.20-(theone before 11)  xtknight

[07:35] <iceonnet> Pollywog: ok
[07:35] <mohamed> hello can someone help me
[07:35] <xtknight> Poul^Laptop: well all i know is that it doesn't work with <IP_ADDRESS>.  i assumed this was more or less the same problem
[07:35] <dhaval> ok, so i did a sudo apt-get install compiz
[07:35] <bayziders> !fstab
[07:35] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[07:35] <dhaval> now how do i use compiz?
[07:35] <`nicola> guys I have this problem with grub http://pastebin.ca/399074
[07:36] <bayziders> dhaval : Go to #ubuntu-effects, they will be able to help you.
[07:36] <mohamed> ok i will try that website
[07:36] <Poul^Laptop> hmm, xtknight, let me reboot and i will check which one it was. its something 2.6.20
[07:36] <Thorny> The last batch of software updates were marked "not authorized".  What's up?
[07:36] <xtknight> uname -r ..
[07:36] <dhaval> bayziders: thanks!]
[07:36] <bayziders> np
[07:37] <Pollywog> Thorny were those errors about not having a gnupg key?
[07:37] <sorush20> my grub is messed up
[07:37] <sorush20> any idea how to fix it?
[07:37] <bayziders> How do I mount a partition?
[07:37] <sorush20> I keep getting error 15 file not found..
[07:38] <Thorny> Not sure.  Just a warning about how I could compromise my system by installing them.
[07:38] <megabunny> bayziders use mount
[07:38] <steve_> Lynoure: ok, i mv'd the other versions of all the files out to a backup dir and i'll see if the apt-get -f  works now. thanks!
[07:38] <greig__> whats the command to login as root please?

[07:38] <Lynoure> steve_: eek, you moved the files?
[07:38] <whta> is filezilla the recommended FTP client?
[07:38] <jrib> !root | greig__
[07:38] <ubotu> greig__: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.

[07:39] <`nicola> is anyone available for some help with grub ? http://pastebin.ca/399074
[07:39] <mohamed> i think i screwed up my fstab tile
[07:39] <mohamed> file
[07:39] <Pollywog> whta: I don't know, I like gftp
[07:39] <theBrave> is i normal that I dont have a /etc/modprobe.conf
[07:39] <PedroS> greig: in ubuntu you must add the user root.    sudo passwd root
[07:39] <PedroS> greig: then you can login using the   su  command
[07:39] <chris_> whta, Filezilla, is very good would definatly recommend it

[07:40] <steve_> Lynoure: ah...well, the -28 kernel update seems to be working.  so does this mean my package system will be out of sync?
[07:40] <whta> i used filezilla on windows. just wondering if that's what the linux crowd prefers as well.
[07:40] <bwlang> <`nicola: i think you're looking for the chainload +1 command...
[07:41] <thcmonkey> i can't change my res to 1680x1050 anyone know why?
[07:41] <`nicola> thanks bwlang I'll investigate for this chainload stuff
[07:41] <Lynoure> steve_: yes, it will think you have those kernel packages installed and might hickup if you try to remove them. But probably no major effect from it being this way

[07:41] <ubotu> mohamed: 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 (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)

[07:42] <steve_> Lynoure: ok, well, it looks like it finished and wants a reboot.  thanks for your help.. here goes!
[07:42] <thcmonkey> robokop: like it matters?
[07:42] <Pollywog> spamming is when you try to sell widgets
[07:42] <PedroS> greig__: so... for default you cannot login with root in ubuntu
[07:42] <mohamed> just want to load my partition and all the tutorials are quick
[07:43] <thcmonkey> Pollywog: what?
[07:43] <nexousNET> If I install ubuntu-server edition, can I still use BlueFish with it?
[07:43] <Pollywog> PedroS: what about sudo su ?
[07:43] <lonran> hi everybody
[07:43] <robokop> bwlang: well it is for my brothers old pc for me a bit of cli programs wouldn't be a prob but my brother is used to whindhows

[07:43] <ephemeral> hello, may i get some help regarding Beryl n Ubuntu?
[07:44] <PedroS> greig__:  to execute something with root permissions you must do something like  sudo command
[07:44] <greig__> Pedros- i need the command to log in as root( looking thro the link u send) then i have no idea how to install this driver, oh its alllll over my head lol
[07:44] <jazzi> !worksforme
[07:44] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[07:44] <chris_> #ubuntu-effects
[07:44] <bwlang> robokop: sorry - don't know of anything... but you can run synaptic from window managers other than gnome...

[07:44] <ephemeral> thcmonkey: thanks
[07:44] <chris_> I got told ubuntu effects or sommit
[07:44] <whta> why is filezilla not listed in synaptic?
[07:45] <robokop> bwlang: i know that but it is way to heavy for a 200Mhz 114Mb ram pc :S
[07:45] <Pollywog> won't 'sudo su' log someone in as root?
[07:45] <lonran> when i open the gnome-theme-manager i get the error: /usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/metacity-1/metacity-theme-1.xml': No such file or directory and can't change the gtk theme, any idea?
[07:45] <thcmonkey> Pollywog: su
[07:45] <greig__> Pollywog, yes that worked
[07:45] <thcmonkey> is all you need
[07:45] <PedroS> Pollywog: yes that works
[07:45] <bwlang> robokop: i think your only other option is aptitude then...
[07:45] <Pollywog> just be careful when you do it
[07:45] <thcmonkey> lol
[07:45] <greig__> now i have to smash my head off my monitor trying to get web cam drivers installed oh oh

[07:46] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about remove - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:46] <PedroS> greig__: what is the link you're talking about?
[07:47] <Lynoure> nexousNET: you can just install another OS over it and let it format the whole disk
[07:47] <Pollywog> jsudo apt-get install build-essential
[07:47] <Pollywog> jazzi: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[07:47] <greig__> it was just the info on root access, ive got that worrking
[07:47] <nexousNET> Lynoure: I'm going to install ubuntu server edition over it, Will server-edition remove EVERYTHING?
[07:47] <captainron> i'm having issues getting the network connection going on my recent ubuntu server setup, dns works and pppoe doesn't help, anybody had same prob before?
[07:47] <PedroS> greig__: do you need some help instaling that driver?
[07:47] <Pollywog> greig__: make sure you add the user to the video and audio groups
[07:47] <Lynoure> nexousNET: if you tell it to repartition and format the whole disk, yeah
[07:47] <nexousNET> Lynoure: okay thanks.
[07:48] <greig__> i need help help and more help lol
[07:48] <Pollywog> and maybe webcam group as well
[07:48] <jazzi> Pollywog:  Thanks :)
[07:48] <delmar> anyone here know their way around Postfix? I've found a solution to a problem I am having, but im not understanding the implementation too well.
[07:48] <nexousNET> Also, Ubuntu Server Edition, can I still run 'sudo nano' to edit files and even have Bluefish?
[07:48] <tman_ubuntu> i need help
[07:49] <jazzi> is there any package installer except synaptic ? which one ubuntu support?
[07:49] <tman_ubuntu> lost my desktop.  please help
[07:49] <greig__> is there such a thing as remote assistance or similar with linux
[07:49] <briguyd> tman_ubuntu, what do you mean?
[07:49] <Pollywog> jazzi there are several
[07:50] <steve_> Lynoure: so the -28 kernel booted and launched my mythtv, so that's all working and good
[07:50] <tman_ubuntu> was changing my themes, then i got messages about gnome-panel erroring out.
[07:50] <Lynoure> steve_: That's good
[07:50] <chris_> I have backup of files in my wine program files, how do i move them to my desktop to allow them to be burnt?
[07:50] <jazzi> Pollywog:  tell me Some which one Ubuntu support?
[07:50] <steve_> Lynoure: the package manager can launch now too, but want's to install the -27 kernel
[07:50] <PedroS> greig__: what is the name of that driver? so you have some tutorial or something else to install it?
[07:50] <tman_ubuntu> did search on internet, said to delete the .gconf file to return to default.
[07:51] <Lynoure> steve_: wants to means what kind of text?
[07:51] <Pollywog> I am not sure if one other than apt is officially supported but ppl use apt, synaptic, and aptitude
[07:51] <tman_ubuntu> did that except that there's no more icons on desktop and lost right-click functionality.
[07:51] <greig__> Pedros__ driver is called sn9c101
[07:51] <Lynoure> steve_: you possibly have something depending on it
[07:51] <nexousNET> Can I have wireless with my Server Edition, and have it only Localhost? For a dev server?
[07:52] <briguyd> tman_ubuntu, did you restart your desktop manager after deleting the file?
[07:52] <Pollywog> and there is a new one called automatix but it is still experimental I think
[07:52] <riad> hello
[07:52] <robokop> Pollywog: don't forget adept for kde
[07:52] <Pollywog> I have used automatix a few times
[07:52] <tman_ubuntu> no.  logged out and back in but it didn't help.  how do i restart desktop manager?
[07:52] <LjL> !automatix | Pollywog
[07:52] <ubotu> Pollywog: automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[07:52] <briguyd> tman_ubuntu, try doing control-alt-backspace
[07:52] <PedroS> greig__: I'm googling a bit to see if I can find something...
[07:52] <kompressor> Hey ive this problem im setting up a serial laplink and im getting a tcflush failed error because of a bad file descriptor what is this and how to fix this?
[07:52] <jancor> TEST MY SELF
[07:52] <Pollywog> LjL thanks
[07:53] <riad> does any one kow any thing about a BadGC parameter error?
[07:53] <jancor> he het werkt
[07:53] <chris_> I have backup of files in my wine program files, how do i move them to my desktop to allow them to be burnt?
[07:53] <steve_> Lynoure: ok.  i didn't touch the -27 files in the /boot partition (that was the kernel i was running)  but maybe it is a patch or something to the -27
[07:53] <greig__> Pedros__ I have found this... http://www.linux-projects.org/modules/sections/index.php?op=viewarticle&artid=6
[07:53] <jazzi> Pollywog:  but Ubuntu not support it .. i think.
[07:53] <steve_> Lynoure: i'll find the exact test of the update notice...
[07:53] <tman_ubuntu> briguyd, is there a commandline I can try first?
[07:53] <Pollywog> yeah don't use automatix yet
[07:53] <briguyd> tman_ubuntu, why?
[07:53] <LjL> no, don't use it at all.
[07:53] <greig__> Pedros__ but as i say, i only installed ubuntu a few hours ago, im struggling aot
[07:53] <Pollywog> I have only used it a few times
[07:53] <IndyGunFreak> Pollywog: are you trying to get flogged?
[07:53] <tman_ubuntu> well i don't want to lose this chat session.
[07:53] <Lynoure> steve_: if it is long, remember pastebin
[07:54] <briguyd> tman_ubuntu, oh, i dont know
[07:54] <devtrash> Is there a simple way to upgrade from 6.06 to 6.10?
[07:54] <mage___> !timezone
[07:54] <briguyd> tman_ubuntu, you can save the text of the chat, then do it
[07:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about timezone - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:54] <jazzi> LjL:  is any other Ubuntu support ? except Synaptic.. i aint understand synaptic as well. so looking for another one
[07:54] <riad> hmm no one knows any about a BadGc parameter  error?
[07:54] <Pollywog> I mostly stick with apt-get
[07:55] <mage___> how am I supposed to set my timezone correctly?
[07:55] <bwlang> riad: try google
[07:55] <chris_> Well, how would i navigate .wine folder, in my explorer?
[07:55] <riad> I did
[07:55] <PedroS> greig__: this driver is for a webcam, right? what is the model of the webcam?
[07:55] <riad> got nothing
[07:55] <AnxiousCo> hello, I have a hard drive that I'm tryting to install on my new ubuntu machine that is from my old computer. It is only data (music, documents, video, etc), no OS or programs installed to it. I tried just putting it in my machine to see if ubuntu would just detect it and have it be usable, but it does not--how do I make it work?
[07:55] <bwlang> mage: right click on the clock adjust date and time
[07:55] <LjL> jazzi... the installation system is APT. it's standard. then there are frontends, and you can use the one you prefer: Synaptic, Add/Remove Programs, Adept, apt-get, aptitude...
[07:55] <tman_ubuntu> well here goes.  i'll see u in a minute if it doesn't work.
[07:55] <greig__> Pedros: webcam is a Trust spacecam 120
[07:56] <chris_> How would i navigate .wine folder, in my explorer?
[07:56] <mage___> heh im currently remote but i guess i'll have to do that when i get home
[07:56] <Pollywog> PedroS: does it work without too much trouble?
[07:56] <killermach> I need spanish chars from my keyboard when I create a doc in openoffice, googling hasn't produced anything, how do I do this?
[07:56] <Pollywog> the spacecam
[07:56] <Apreche> Is anyone here an expert on acpi and laptops and such? I'm trying to get the brightness buttons on my laptop to work.
[07:57] <jazzi> LjL:  if am looking a programe like for eg. trix or vlc player or whatever then how can i search ? like "sudo apt-get install trix" this is the right command?
[07:57] <TheVault> Apreche: You should have a blue FN button your keyboard
[07:57] <Pollywog> killermach: maybe #ubuntu-es  ?
[07:57] <chris_> How would i navigate .wine folder, in my explorer?
[07:57] <LjL> jazzi: type "apt-cache search trix" to search
[07:57] <Apreche> jazzi: you can search by doing apt-cache search searchstring
[07:57] <eXcAliBuR> Apreche: make sure to have all drivers installed and tools for ur model aswell
[07:57] <TheVault> Apreche: do you have a fn button on your keyboard?
[07:57] <briguyd> chris_, you have to show hidden folders
[07:57] <ep2011> Do I need to defrag again before installing ubuntu? http://img460.imageshack.us/img460/1969/fraggm9.png
[07:57] <LjL> !packages | jazzi
[07:57] <ubotu> jazzi: You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search <keywords>", the "apt:/" URL in KDE, or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways!
[07:57] <bwlang> killermach: depends on how many... if you need just a few you could use the insert special character menu in oo... otherwise you need to reconfigure your keyboard i think.
[07:57] <AnxiousCo> can I do this with my hard drive or will it need formatted?
[07:57] <PedroS> Pollywog: I am not sure, but I think he just needs to compile the driver to get it working
[07:57] <Apreche> yes, I have the Fn button, and I have collected a lot of information about what is going on
[07:57] <AnxiousCo> excuse me, reformatted
[07:57] <riad> well, This BadGc (nvalid parameter) is a known error, that's what I gathered so far, but there's no fix for it?
[07:57] <chris_> briguyd, I thought it would be that, how do i do that?
[07:58] <jazzi> !apt > jazzi
[07:58] <AnxiousCo> !harddrive
[07:58] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[07:58] <Hansel> ep2011 - if you want to split a windows partition then yes... otherwise you dont need to defrag for linux.
[07:58] <AnxiousCo> !diskmounter
[07:58] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - See also !fuse
[07:58] <killermach> Pollywog: maybe.. except I'm doing the research for someone and I don't speak spanish
[07:58] <TheVault> Apreche: hold the fn button and find the buttons that look like a sun or something like that and your brightness should go up or down
[07:58] <Pollywog> PedroS: oh I thought you were saying that spacecam works for you
[07:58] <ep2011> Hansel - I already did defrag, and Yes I am splitting the partition, so I should defrag again?
[07:58] <Pollywog> killermach: oic
[07:58] <Apreche> thevault: I'm not that dumb. Trust me, it doesn't work
[07:58] <chris_> How do i allow myself to see hidden folders in home directory?
[07:58] <jazzi> LjL:  thanks man alot :) will look after that packages.. after Updates complete :)
[07:59] <Pollywog> chris ls-la
[07:59] <Pollywog> ls -la
[07:59] <Hansel> ep2011 - yes... it is always a good idea to defrag before splitting partitions
[07:59] <jazzi> !packages > jazzi
[07:59] <chris_> ls -la?
[07:59] <TheVault> Apreche: Thats weird cause I just did it on my laptop and it worked and i did not have to do configurations....you got all drivers installed?
[07:59] <ep2011> Hansel: I know that, but more than once is good?
[07:59] <Hansel> chris_ - from command line you ls -la... from nautilus push CTRL H I believe
[07:59] <Pollywog> yes if you are using the command line
[07:59] <Hansel> ep2011  -  yes...  :)
[07:59] <PedroS> Pollywog: nop, I'm just trying to help a new ubuntu user :)
[07:59] <Apreche> TheVault: Yes. Trust me, I've been using Linux for 6 years. This is a kernel-level ACPI problem.
[07:59] <tman_ubuntu> briguyd, duh.  i checked my xsession-error log and it showed an error with nautilus.  It was nautilus that need restarting.  i'll log out and back in and make sure it restarts on it's on now.
[08:00] <ep2011> Thank you Hansel.
[08:00] <Hansel> np
[08:00] <TheVault> Apreche: Alright then ya know what your doing. Iv been using Linux now for 3 weeks
[08:00] <briguyd> tman_ubuntu, cool
[08:00] <Pollywog> oh yes on Nautilus it is ctrl-H
[08:00] <Apreche> TheVault: lol
[08:00] <Pollywog> just learned that one myself
[08:00] <tman_ubuntu> i'll let u know what happens.
[08:00] <TheVault> Apreche: And three weeks without using Windows may I add :)
[08:00] <briguyd> chris_, in your file browser, hit control-H
[08:00] <TheVault> Apreche: Trying to make a full month without using Windows
[08:00] <AnxiousCo> "sudo fdisk -l" is this all I have to do to have have it detect the new HD?
[08:00] <ep2011> Hansel: If after this defrag all the freespace is together, then I should install?
[08:01] <killermach> bwlang: they want to translate their website
[08:01] <Hansel> I have been using Linux for about 10 years.  I have been completely Windows-free at home (at work I have to use it) for about 6 months now.
[08:01] <Lamego> AnxiousCo, that is to check if the disk was detected, not to detect it
[08:01] <Hansel> ep2011 - yup.
[08:01] <steve_> Lynoure: i guess i dont mind if it puts it back to fulfull a dependancy, as long as it doesn't take out the -28 kernel and start the problem again
[08:01] <TheVault> Hansel: Congrats :)
[08:01] <AnxiousCo> hmm, how do I detect it?
[08:01] <ep2011> Thanks.
[08:01] <Apreche> So, does anyone here know how acpi stuff works?
[08:01] <Lamego> it should be "detected" by the kernel during the system boot
[08:01] <Hansel> AnxiousCo,  - do you want to mount the new drive every time you boot?
[08:01] <greig__> does linux have some kind or remote access built into it to allow someone to access and control my pc?
[08:02] <Lamego> do you see it listed on fdisk ?
[08:02] <Hansel> AnxiousCo, if so then you need to make an /etc/fstab entry.
[08:02] <TheVault> I myself finally, after weeks of playing around on the LIVE CD, I got my WIFI to work with my broadcom chipset
[08:02] <Lamego> Hansel, he is not sure the disk is available yet
[08:02] <ICQnumber> hi ppl, where can i find any examples how to use streamripper?
[08:02] <AnxiousCo> I want the drive to just be readable, all it is is music and video files and school files
[08:02] <soundray> greig__: not Linux per se, but ubuntu does.
[08:02] <AnxiousCo> so do I want it to read it every boot time?
[08:02] <steve_> but i guess the best solution woudl be to find out if something needs -27 and maybe get rid of that prog
[08:02] <ICQnumber> i just have tried kstreamripper, but it was not working for me
[08:02] <greig__> sorry yes i ment ubuntu
[08:02] <bwlang> killermach: well.. probably they'll want to change their keyboard then. system->prefs->keyboard
[08:03] <Lamego> AnxiousCo, google :) ?
[08:03] <soundray> greig__: it's configured through System-Preferences-Remote Desktop
[08:03] <Hansel> AnxiousCo, try to mount /dev/hda1, hda2, etc... to /mnt/testdrive          mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/pleasework        if you want you can pass a -t ntfs if it is a Windows drive...
[08:03] <Lamego> ops, i meant ICQnumber
[08:03] <TheVault> I got a question. Is anyone elses wireless a bit slow when using wireless?
[08:03] <AnxiousCo> this is what my sudo fdisk -l says, tell me if it should be working please
[08:03] <Hansel> TheVault - that might be a bit vague to answer... "a bit slow" is difficult to gauge.
[08:03] <AnxiousCo> "/dev/hda1   *           1        4678    37576003+  83  Linux
[08:03] <AnxiousCo> "/dev/hda2            4679        4865     1502077+   5  Extended
[08:04] <TheVault> Hansel: hmmm you got a good point on that
[08:04] <Lamego> AnxiousCo, you you have a single disk with 2 partitions
[08:04] <oopsy> hey
[08:04] <AnxiousCo> "/dev/hda5            4679        4865     1502046   82  Linux swap / Solaris
[08:04] <AnxiousCo> thats it
[08:04] <TheVault> Hansel: Like for downloads, its really slow here in ubuntu for downloading, but on windows its fast
[08:04] <oopsy> did anyone installed the native linux drivers for Ralink here?
[08:04] <eXcAliBuR> i need some help getting apache-ant on my Ubuntu Server
[08:04] <Pollywog> oopsy: yes
[08:04] <oopsy> Pollywog
[08:05] <Pollywog> rt2500 is what I use
[08:05] <oopsy> you needed qtX something right?
[08:05] <oopsy> just like mine!!  I run things as sudo, it prompts for a password, the password is correct but if fails to run the command any thoughts?
[08:05] <AnxiousCo> so is that bad? it is not detecting the second HD only the master?
[08:05] <AnxiousCo> and the master has two partitions?
[08:05] <Pollywog> I used a howto on the ubuntu site
[08:05] <ep2011> Hansel: Since you were so helpful, for a newbie with Ubuntu, only playing around a little with it, would 7 Gb for / and 15 for /home and 1 for /swap be good?
[08:06] <greig__> i know this isnt the safest way to sort a issue i have out, but would anyone want to remote access my comp to install a web cam for me? Thats the only way i'll get this i think lol
[08:06] <Dumahen> !nvidia
[08:06] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[08:06] <Lamego> ep2011, /home depends on the data you expect to have :)
[08:06] <zafod77> Where is the config file for groups? I think I may have mucked up and messed up the admin line so I can't run sudo
[08:06] <Hansel> ep2011 - if you are brand new to Linux I recommend 15 gigs and just let it partition for you... it does a good job of "guessing" appropriate sizes.
[08:06] <PedroS> greig: i am trying to talk to you in private
[08:06] <Lamego> 7 GB / is ok for a regular system install
[08:06] <TheVault> greig_: That sounds better than reading lol
[08:06] <Hansel> ep2011 - I just recommend that you keep an external drive as well for all of your music and files in case you have to reinstall (most new linux users prefer a reinstall than diagnosing and fixing)
[08:06] <greig__> oh i didnt get the messages sorry
[08:06] <AnxiousCo> so what should I search for keyword wise to find out how to make the second HD work?
[08:07] <ep2011> Hansel: Not brand new, I have it on my powerbook, just new to using it more than once in awile, im installing it on my main computer
[08:07] <Lynoure> steve_: well, depending on what depends on it, you could prolly remove both
[08:07] <TheVault> Whats better, Xchat or Gaim?
[08:07] <Hansel> AnxiousCo, it could be hdb1, hdc1, etc... although hdc is usually cd drives
[08:07] <Lynoure> steve_: I mean, also the thing that depends on it.
[08:07] <AlexC_> TheVault: they do differnt things really, xChat is not better for MSN or AIM for example
[08:07] <ep2011> Lamego: The problem with how much I need for /home is I don't know how often I am going to end up using it, If I can get my wireless working, Ill need a lot, if not, I probally wont need much
[08:07] <PirateHead> Lmego: 7GB ought to be fine for a normal system install.
[08:07] <tailsfan92> barry
[08:07] <lynucs> hey, guys, maybe anyone can help me.. as soon as my processor is swithcing from 800MHZ to 1600MHZ and vice versa, my ubuntu hngs for 3 secs! what might i do?? that happened with every kernel except 2.6.15 which came with dapper.. now i'm using edgy.
[08:07] <AlexC_> TheVault: but for IRC, I would say xChat
[08:07] <PirateHead> Lamego: you probably weren't asking. Sorry. =D
[08:08] <soundray> ep2011: your partitioning plan sounds fine to me
[08:08] <AnxiousCo> how do I see if it is reading the drive then? is there a file exporer?
[08:08] <kitsuneofdoom>
[08:08] <PirateHead> AnxiousCo: nautilus?
[08:08] <MisterN> lynucs: disable frequency switching?
[08:08] <Hansel> TheVault - agreed... IRC = XChat... IMing = gAIM.
[08:08] <Hansel> those are my preferred apps.
[08:08] <Lamego> :P
[08:08] <ep2011> Okay, Thank you soundray
[08:08] <lynucs> MisterN, that isn't what i wanted to hear :D
[08:08] <soundray> AnxiousCo: if fdisk doesn't see your drive, no file manager will
[08:08] <TheVault> Hansel: Alrighty, but I'm on IRC right now(duh lol) using Gaim and its sweet
[08:08] <PirateHead> TheVault: neither! ChatZilla is the best by far in my experience.
[08:08] <MisterN> lynucs: is this a laptop?
[08:08] <lynucs> yes
[08:09] <Atraeyu> Anyone know how to make gaim automatically join #ubuntu on startup?
[08:09] <TheVault> PirateHead: LOVE chatzilla
[08:09] <MisterN> lynucs: yeah then this would suck :)
[08:09] <AnxiousCo> so fdisk is not seeing the drive?
[08:09] <TheVault> But thats when your using the browser though
[08:09] <tailsfan92> I have a problem
[08:09] <AnxiousCo> hmm, what should I look up "how to mount second hard drive?"
[08:09] <CheshireViking> TheVault, I 'd agree about xchat for irc, but i prefer Kopete for msn - gaim & aMSN don't work with my webcam
[08:09] <Hansel> TheVault - different strokes for different folks.  Whatever is clever... don't use apps based on others opinions.  :)  You will end up ping ponging back and forth between emacs and vi if you listen to other opinions all day.
[08:09] <tailsfan92> I have a problem
[08:09] <tailsfan92> eed time to figurwe it out
[08:09] <TheVault> Hansel: Yup, your right. But I find Gaim better than the windows trillian
[08:10] <mrebola> the esp ubuntu chanel what is excuse me?
[08:10] <PirateHead> AnxiousCo: did you just put a new hard drive into your box, or what?
[08:10] <AnxiousCo> yes
[08:10] <AlexC_> mrebola: #ubuntu-es ?
[08:10] <TheVault> Hansel: But like ya said, different programs for differ people :P
[08:10] <ep2011> !spanish
[08:10] <ubotu> Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[08:10] <mrebola> thankz alexC
[08:10] <mrebola> !spanish
[08:11] <AnxiousCo> was I incorrect in doing so? I cannot find how to do it in the forums
[08:11] <soundray> AnxiousCo: have you set the jumpers on the new drive to configure it as slave?
[08:11] <guthos> fala povo
[08:11] <TheVault> Heres another problem that I'm kinda having. When I type, sometimes my thumbs hit the touchpad causing the text to jump somewhere else or mess me up on typing, anyway to fix this?
[08:11] <AlexC_> TheVault: cut off you're thumb
[08:12] <AnxiousCo> yes, it was a slave in my first machine
[08:12] <AlexC_> TheVault: or download the latest patch to shorten you're thumb
[08:12] <TheVault> AlexC_: I could
[08:12] <Cryptid> i want to record every thing that is happening on the desktop (i am trying to make a video tutorial) please tell me which software will help me do this
[08:12] <TheVault> AlexC_: Your the funny one today lol
[08:12] <Hansel> TheVault - I recommend you set aside a full weekend and just test EVERY app you can get your hands on.  I found a bunch of cool stuff... Griffith for managing my video collection, I figured out OpenVPN one day, tinkered with Cinelerra... there are tons out there  :)
[08:12] <AlexC_> TheVault: lol, well there is not much you can do really
[08:13] <soundray> TheVault: have a look at tpconfig and gsynaptics
[08:13] <ep2011> Hansel, do you have experience with helping me get my Linksys WUSB54Gv2 working once ubuntu is installed?
[08:13] <soundray> TheVault: you can disable the touchpad when it's not in use
[08:13] <kheaslett> Hi you guys.  I'm having the error 17 message from grub after installing 6.06.  I know what the error message means but I'm not sure on how to fix it.  I think it's within the bios
[08:13] <TheVault> soundray: Will those programs help?
[08:13] <AnxiousCo> so what could it be? should I set up the second HD as master (unplug the first master) and just run linux live to see if it reads?
[08:13] <Cryptid> I need a desktop recording software!!!
[08:13] <Hansel> ep2011 - sure... we might even be able to flash it with OpenWRT (a Linux-based firmware) lol
[08:13] <AlexC_> Cryptid: then wait more than 5 mins
[08:13] <AlexC_> soundray: wouldn't that get very annoying? Having to disable and enable it every time you wanted to use it ??
[08:14] <ep2011> Hansel - only problem is that is wouldn't it not work on windows then?
[08:14] <ep2011> Hansel - I'm dual booting
[08:14] <TheVault> soundray: YAY, That Gsynaptics looks to be my answer :)
[08:14] <Hansel> ep2011 - nah... its just the operating system that the router uses... it will work with any OS  :)
[08:14] <soundray> AlexC_: you clearly have no idea how annoying a touchpad can be if you keep hitting it accidentally ;)
[08:14] <Hansel> I use my OpenWRT Linksys for my work computer which runs Windows and my home computers which are all Linux and FreeBSD.
[08:15] <danieleboyo> hi im having some dual boot trouble...my other os is perfoming at sub par
[08:15] <TheVault> soundray: Yes indeed. Thanks for the find :)
[08:15] <Apreche> Nobody knows how to get laptop brightness buttons to work if the kernel eats the ACPI signal?
[08:15] <kheaslett> Can someone help me with GRUB error 17?
[08:15] <Poul^Laptop> xtknight, around?
[08:15] <ep2011> Hansel - how easy is it to do?
[08:15] <soundray> TheVault: hope your tp is compatible with it
[08:15] <AlexC_> soundray: I don't own a laptop so I can't say really. but having to manually disable and enable it would surely be more annoying?
[08:15] <TheVault> soundray: tp?
[08:15] <AlexC_> touchpad
[08:15] <Hansel> ep2011 - very easy.  :)  Assuming your router is supported...
[08:15] <tailsfan92> hey
[08:15] <AnxiousCo>  b) to have the drive mounted at boot, you'll have to add it to /etc/fstab
[08:15] <AlexC_> tailsfan92: hey
[08:15] <TheVault> AlexC_: Thanks
[08:15] <AnxiousCo> what does that mean?
[08:15] <tailsfan92>  Mesa won't work, version of Ubuntu, the specific error
[08:15] <soundray> AlexC_: I don't think so. You could even assign a toggling hotkey
[08:15] <tailsfan92> I have GLX problems
[08:15] <Poul^Laptop> xtknight - i fixed it now. Got beryl running with lates kernel. Using the nvidia drivers within the apt-getinstall.
[08:16] <ep2011> Hansel - Is there a page to check if it is? like a list of supported routers?
[08:16] <AlexC_> AnxiousCo: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
[08:16] <Hansel> kheaslett, you might want to try #grub
[08:16] <TheVault> soundray: Well my touchpad is a Synaptics Touchpad, so it should work right?
[08:16] <AlexC_> !mount | AnxiousCo
[08:16] <Hansel> ep2011 - yup...
[08:16] <ubotu> AnxiousCo: Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[08:16] <kheaslett> oh sorry thanks though
[08:16] <ep2011> Hansel - Can you link me?
[08:16] <AnxiousCo> I dont think that's what I need to do, is it?
[08:16] <xtknight> Poul^Laptop: ahh hrmm.  i did forget that feisty had a fix for that in the repositories
[08:16] <Hansel> http://wiki.openwrt.org/TableOfHardware?action=show&redirect=toh
[08:16] <soundray> AnxiousCo: if fdisk doesn't see your drive, you have a hardware problem to solve first.
[08:16] <tailsfan92> are you listening to me
[08:16] <greig_> oops, hit the off button
[08:16] <xtknight> Poul^Laptop: congrats on figuring it out though
[08:16] <AnxiousCo> hmm
[08:16] <AnxiousCo> how do I know if fdisk is showing it?
[08:16] <Poul^Laptop> xtknight :)
[08:17] <Cryptid> AlexC_: will u please help me now ?
[08:17] <AnxiousCo> is this because the drive was used in a windows machine?
[08:17] <soundray> tailsfan92: we're waiting for a description of your problem. Be precise, and say what you've tried so far.
[08:17] <AlexC_> tailsfan92: excuse me? =) How do you expect us to help if all you say is "I have GLX Problems"
[08:17] <tailsfan92> sorry
[08:17] <soundray> AnxiousCo: no
[08:17] <xtknight> Poul^Laptop: sounds like feisty might be for you after all.  i haven't been too ambitious today to tell you the truth so i was sorta hoping you'd just give up and go back to edgy :P
[08:17] <AlexC_> Cryptid: with what?
[08:17] <AnxiousCo> because that would mean I'd have to reformat it.... The main reason I want to use it is because of the data on it
[08:17] <Poul^Laptop> xtknight - its just about getting the xorg config configured right, els its realy hard to get it working
[08:17] <AnxiousCo> hmm
[08:17] <tailsfan92> I try an app like blender, and it gives me that error message
[08:17] <danieleboyo> im having some dual boot problems, my second os is performing really subpar
[08:17] <Hansel> Cryptid, I recommend xvidcap.. http://xvidcap.sourceforge.net/
[08:17] <Poul^Laptop> xtknight, i will take it as a compliment :PPP
[08:18] <AnxiousCo> and it's none of these? /dev/hda1   *           1        4678    37576003+  83  Linux
[08:18] <AnxiousCo> /dev/hda2            4679        4865     1502077+   5  Extended
[08:18] <AnxiousCo> /dev/hda5            4679        4865     1502046   82  Linux swap / Solaris
[08:18] <tailsfan92> u talking to me?
[08:18] <ep2011> Hansel - It isn't supported :\
[08:18] <Cryptid> Hansel: will that record everythig that is happening on the screen ?
[08:18] <Hansel> Cryptid - sure will.
[08:18] <AlexC_> tailsfan92: normally if someone is talking to you, they prefix it with you're name.
[08:18] <soundray> AnxiousCo: do not paste stuff like that in here. It's considered spamming/flooding.
[08:18] <tailsfan92> AlexG okay
[08:18] <Cryptid> Hansel: thanx will check it out
[08:18] <tailsfan92> I'm new
[08:19] <ep2011> Hansel - Any other ideas since it isn't supported?
[08:19] <TheVault> soundray: So ya think I should download and install gsynaptics then?
[08:19] <Poul^Laptop> xtknight, funny tho. I am not sure, but almost positive that i was able to run ~1400x900  with 60hz before, but it wont let me sellect 60hz now :PP
[08:19] <danieleboyo> im having some dual boot problems, my second os is performing really subpar
[08:19] <soundray> TheVault: yeah, why not?
[08:19] <Poul^Laptop> but guess i will survive that my beryl working
[08:19] <AnxiousCo> but i am trying to find out what my problem is... it was data
[08:19] <TheVault> soundray: alrighty, I'm going for it
[08:19] <Hansel> ep2011 - nah.  Just use the default firmware  :)
[08:19] <TheVault> soundray: Thanks again :)
[08:20] <greig_> still with me?
[08:20] <Hansel> greig?
[08:20] <_`XeOn_> hello how do i give r/w permition to a folder that is created by root?
[08:20] <greig_> oops that was ment as a private message
[08:20] <PirateHead> AnxiousCo: if you are pasting 3 or more lines of text, you ought to use paste.ubuntu-nl.org -- I think you were okay pasting what you pasted there, but some users will object.
[08:20] <AlexC_> _`XeOn_: what folder?
[08:21] <_`XeOn_> is not a folder is a document
[08:21] <Hansel> _`XeOn_, sudo chmod 777 /the/spot/file
[08:21] <_`XeOn_> in /usr/bin/
[08:21] <AlexC_> _`XeOn_: why say folder then :P
[08:21] <Poul^Laptop> Anyone got solution or alternativ application for speeking with friends over ventrilo, without having to use those windows emulations
[08:21] <Hansel> XeOn - that will give full access to everybody... bad idea but will get things done  :)
[08:21] <eck> _`XeOn_: do not chmod that directory
[08:21] <x386> hello *
[08:21] <PirateHead> _`XeOn_: you can use sudo to access it , and/or chmod it to your user.
[08:21] <eck> that is a very bad idea
[08:21] <PirateHead> Hello, x386
[08:21] <soundray> AnxiousCo: what you pasted means that fdisk sees one drive, no more.
[08:21] <AlexC_> _`XeOn_: but like eck said - do not chmod /usr/bin
[08:22] <PirateHead> _`XeOn_: /usr/bin is a bad choice for chmod. =D
[08:22] <Hansel> /usr/bin/$file  <--- chmod that where $file is the file you want.
[08:22] <soundray> AnxiousCo: check your BIOS setup to see if that registers the drive. Also, answer my question about jumpers. Use my nick to prefix the answer.
[08:22] <x386> anybody has suggestion for CD/DVD cataloguing sw which runs OK on 6.10 and has archive browsing support?
[08:22] <_`XeOn_> the thing is my config file for eggdrop is in /usr/bin/eggdrop.conf
[08:22] <AlexC_> _`XeOn_: actually ... why is a document in /usr/bin?? would a document normally be in you're home folder
[08:22] <greig_> ahh i was chatting to someone and i cant find them now about installing my cam.
[08:22] <eck> _`XeOn_: that is the wrong place for a config file, it should be in /etc
[08:22] <PirateHead> _`XeOn_: Just use "gksudo gedit /usr/bin/eggdrop.conf"
[08:22] <AnxiousCo> soundray: the newly added harddrive was already set up as slave on the windows machine... so it is set as slave
[08:22] <Hansel> XeOn - you can cp it to /home/user/eggdrop/eggdrop.conf  and then when you invoke eggdrop just pass it the switch to use your /home directory conf
[08:22] <greig_> linux takes a lot to get everything set up huh
[08:23] <AlexC_> _`XeOn_: then to edit it, in terminal do gksudo gedit /usr/bin/eggdrop.cof ... doh PirateHead beat me!
[08:23] <soundray> AnxiousCo: okay, have you checked the BIOS or bootup messages?
[08:23] <AlexC_> greig_: I take it you've never installed Windows! =D
[08:23] <PirateHead> AlexC_: a winrar is me.
[08:23] <Hansel> greig_, it can... especially if you want things to be like how your Windows box was.  If you are willing to accept that it wont act exactly like Windows and you try different things or even just get used to the default it is very quick  :)
[08:23] <eck> _`XeOn_: maybe you should read the man page for 'hier'
[08:23] <AlexC_> PirateHead: lol you're a winrar?
[08:23] <AnxiousCo> soundray: typically the boot up messages occur before my monitor even flips on... what should I be looking for in my BIOS?
[08:23] <_`XeOn_> yes but how do i make eggdrop.sh find the new location for .conf
[08:24] <greig_> AlexC__: windows is all done for u, thats my downfall lol
[08:24] <AlexC_> _`XeOn_: keep the config file where it is for now - but just edit it
[08:24] <Hansel> greig_, if you want to get the base OS installed, configure all of your apps, install and configure beryl, etc it can take a solid day...
[08:24] <soundray> AnxiousCo: something that lists your IDE drives
[08:24] <PirateHead> AlexC_: it's a mutation of "A winner is you!", a famous japanese to english pseudo-translation.
[08:24] <AlexC_> greig_: exactly my point - you don't know how much work you have to do to a fresh Windows install ... it's much more work than Linux
[08:24] <eck> _`XeOn_: is this a script that you are trying to run as a user, and the config does not have o+r permissions?
[08:24] <_`XeOn_> yes
[08:24] <_`XeOn_> eck, thats correct
[08:25] <AnxiousCo> so if it does not list the second IDE drive, it is a hardware failure or something else erroneous relating to the drive?
[08:25] <snaidis> Hi
[08:25] <eck> then you need to move the script to a location readable by regular users,not open up some part of your filesystem to reading by everyone
[08:25] <x386> anybody has suggestion for CD/DVD cataloging SW which runs OK on 6.10 and has archive browsing support?
[08:25] <eck> try ~/.eggdrop.conf or something like that
[08:25] <AlexC_> PirateHead: oh right :P I love how things get 'lost in translation'
[08:25] <snaidis> Having little problems with Envy
[08:25] <eck> the program ashould have documentation for how to do that
[08:25] <AnxiousCo> soundray: so if it does not list the second IDE drive, it is a hardware failure or something else erroneous relating to the drive?
[08:25] <hateyla> i want to make a shorcut for a app on desktop how can i create a shortcut? on terminal when i type " trix" App opened but i want to create shortcut on desktop?
[08:25] <AlexC_> hateyla: right click -> Create Launcher
[08:25] <Hansel> hateyla - depends on your window manager... are you using gnome?
[08:25] <greig_> I just wish i could figure out how to install a driver for my web cam and i'd be happy lol
[08:25] <snaidis> every time i'm restarting the computer the resolusion changes
[08:26] <_`XeOn_> let me see
[08:26] <ochosi> hi, i have a question about wine. i compiled the latest alsa-driver from source and now i get an error whenever i start a game (e.g. error8815 generic...). any idea how to fix that?
[08:26] <hateyla> Hansel:  ya i m using GNOME
[08:26] <ochosi> oh, and of course i don't have any sound in the games
[08:26] <Hansel> ochosi - go to www.winehq.org and see if for that application/game they have info on that error.
[08:26] <hateyla> AlexC: right Click ? where on terminal lol ?
[08:26] <soundray> AnxiousCo: hardware failure, BIOS incompatibility, wrong jumper setting, loose cable...
[08:26] <PirateHead> greig_: web cam drivers are notoriously shaky. I hope you get lucky. :-)
[08:26] <AlexC_> hateyla: in the command put the name of the program - eg, "firefox" no quotes
[08:26] <AlexC_> hateyla: nono - on the desktop
[08:26] <CheshireViking> greig_, which webcam do you have?
[08:26] <Hansel> hateyla, then yes, as was previously stated then right click on your desktop in a blank area and choose Create launcher
[08:26] <ochosi> Hansel been there, done that, got the t-shirt :)
[08:26] <soundray> AnxiousCo: possibly even a wrong cable
[08:27] <greig_> cheshireviking:Trust spacecam 120
[08:27] <_`XeOn_> eck, if my eggdrop.sh is in /usr/bin/ how do i make it find the config file in /home/user/
[08:27] <soundray> ubotu, please tell greig_ about webcam
[08:27] <Andeh> Hello
[08:27] <AnxiousCo> soundray: ok thanks. Are there two different settings for Master jumper? (master with no other hard drives, and a master that allows a slave?)
[08:27] <greig_> PirtateHead: as i have no idea about ubuntu.linux, then i have no chance lol
[08:27] <hateyla> Hansel: there is tab Command what i typed there?
[08:27] <Hansel> XeOn - eggdrop --help        it should give you a list of possible parameters to pass... maybe eggdrop -c /home/user/eggdrop.conf
[08:27] <AlexC_> _`XeOn_: you're best of not moving the config file. But just edit it with "gksudo gedit /usr/bin/eggdrop.conf"

[08:28] <snaidis> Anyone?
[08:28] <Hansel> hateyla - in the command you type the program name... like for example if you want gimp then type gimp there. :)
[08:28] <CheshireViking> greig_, maybe this website will help you - http://www.linux.com/howtos/Webcam-HOWTO/devices.shtml it lists a couple of Trust webcams
[08:28] <snaidis> I installed Envy
[08:28] <msgmikeh> should I use ext3 or ext2?
[08:28] <Hansel> I prefer ext3
[08:28] <hateyla> Hansel: i m new user i dont know much about commands.. i just know i have GNOME.
[08:28] <soundray> AnxiousCo: yes, some drives do have two different settings (slave present/no slave), but they are becoming rare
[08:28] <void^> msgmikeh: use ext3
[08:28] <Hansel> hateyla - what program do you want an icon for on your desktop?
[08:28] <greig_> I shall read all those links, thank you all!
[08:28] <snaidis> And set the resoultion to 1024X1028
[08:28] <B|nTaRa> how i wanna set proxy conenction for my xubuntu ?
[08:28] <robokop> msgmikeh: ext3 is ext2 + journalling so ext3
[08:28] <B|nTaRa> !network
[08:28] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[08:28] <eck> _`XeOn_: i think you should have installed it to your home directory
[08:28] <snaidis> but it always changes after restart to 1024X768
[08:28] <Sam__> how well does wine actually work?
[08:29] <eck> _`XeOn_: did you compile it yourself?
[08:29] <Sam__> is it slow
[08:29] <hateyla> Hansel : App name is " trix "
[08:29] <Hansel> hateyla - then type that in the commandline.
[08:29] <PirateHead> hateyla: getting used to entering commands at the terminal will be very beneficial when you run into problems with Linux. Don't be afraid to try things out.
[08:29] <snaidis> anyone?
[08:29] <AlexC_> !anyone | snaidis
[08:29] <ubotu> snaidis: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[08:29] <robokop> my xubuntu hasn't found my soundcard
[08:29] <Hansel> snaidis, edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and set the default resolution to whatever you want.  (need to do this as root - ie; sudo)
[08:29] <hateyla> Piratedhead: thanks for advice :) ya i want to used too with terminal :)
[08:30] <soundray> AnxiousCo: if you have an extra cable, try connecting your drive to the second IDE channel. This tends to be better for throughput, anyway. You may have to disconnect your CDROM unfortunately.
[08:30] <B|nTaRa> !install
[08:30] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[08:30] <eck> _`XeOn_: also, i just looked at the documentation, and there is an option to specify where your configuration file is
[08:30] <eck> it is -m
[08:30] <robokop> my xubuntu hasn't found my soundcard, what could i do to fix that
[08:30] <CheshireViking> greig_, I just remembered, I ended up using an app/script called "Easycam" to get my webcam working - I think it's included in Synaptic if that helps
[08:30] <Dreamxtreme2> buy a new card
[08:30] <hateyla> !automatix > hateyla
[08:30] <AlexC_> B|nTaRa: please next time message the bot you're self instead of flooding the bot with random bot commands, do !install < B|nTaRa instead please
[08:30] <kaiden> Anyone know of a faster apt-get mirror for ubuntu updates? ubuntu.com barely touches 5k/s for me :(
[08:31] <Andeh> How do i compile stuff on ubuntu? the make command doesnt work
[08:31] <AlexC_> B|nTaRa: woops I mean !install > B|nTaRa
[08:31] <kaiden> i've tried both the us one and the ca one
[08:31] <B|nTaRa> AlexC_, thank you
[08:31] <eck> Andeh: you need to install build-essential
[08:31] <AlexC_> Andeh: sudo apt-get install build-essentials
[08:31] <Hansel> kaiden - google for ubuntu repository.. there are tons.
[08:31] <Andeh> Thanks
[08:31] <cyber_cop> hi channel
[08:31] <AlexC_> morning internet,
[08:31] <_`XeOn_> eck, i downloaded the eggdrop in .deb cuz my computer is not compiling dunno why
[08:31] <Hansel> Andeh - you need to install a compiler.  Google for ubuntu C compiler
[08:31] <soundray> AnxiousCo: in any case, I hope you can get it going. I'm logging off now, but do ask the channel again if you can't.
[08:31] <kaiden> Hansel, was just worried that some of them may not be up to date
[08:32] <Hansel> Andeh - but once you get that installed its a matter of         ./configure && make && make install
[08:32] <eck> _`XeOn_: you probbaly did it wrong :-P
[08:32] <Andeh> It says i have it
[08:32] <Andeh> but when i use make it says make command not found...?
[08:32] <eck> _`XeOn_: anyway, try using the -m option
[08:32] <AlexC_> Andeh: sudo apt-get install build-essentials
[08:32] <greig_> CheshireViking : I actually have installed easycam2 but when i load the app it says no device found
[08:32] <Hansel> Andeh - install gcc
[08:32] <thcmonkey> how is feisty any different to edgy?
[08:32] <Andeh> It says i already have build essentials!
[08:32] <ep2011> Err, Disk Defrager just froze 3 times in a row...
[08:32] <Andeh> ok never mind
[08:33] <_`XeOn_> eck, i tryed diferent compile and nothing but some programs compile right away
[08:33] <eck> make is provided by the make package, _not_ by gcc
[08:33] <AlexC_> thcmonkey: latest software, loads of back end changes, easier to use, much easier to install codecs, wireless and ATI/nVidia drivers, for more Feisty talk go in #ubuntu+1
[08:33] <AnxiousCo> !players
[08:33] <ubotu> Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Banshee, Beep Media Player, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine  -  See also !codecs
[08:33] <AlexC_> _`XeOn_: you could install Blootbot - another IRC bot,
[08:33] <eck> _`XeOn_: did you get an error in the ./configure part?
[08:33] <Hansel> I prefer VLC... for all videos and sound files.
[08:33] <PirateHead> thcmonkey: There are many differences, You can find more information on the Ubuntu wiki, or ask in #ubuntu+1 about something in particular and see if anybody has details.
[08:33] <CheshireViking> greig_, rite, i can't remember whether i had to do anything else to get mine working, mine is a creative nx webcam

[08:34] <cyber_cop> hi channel
[08:34] <hateyla> can i get all terminal cmds with description?
[08:34] <cyber_cop> my language Turkish
[08:34] <thcmonkey> cool cheers
[08:34] <Hansel> hateyla - man commandname
[08:34] <cyber_cop> help please
[08:34] <Andeh> Has anyone here ever used Xen virtual machine? I am currently compiling it from a source i downloaded
[08:34] <AlexC_> AnxiousCo: please private message the bot,
[08:34] <_`XeOn_> eck, is a tcl that needs to read config file
[08:34] <hateyla> i want to learn more about cmds and about used
[08:34] <jason_> hello all.. first time ubuntu user..  very rusty linux user
[08:34] <cyber_cop> install AMSN 0.9.2
[08:34] <AlexC_> cyber_cop: you've asked no question.
[08:34] <cyber_cop> problem
[08:34] <eck> hateyla: you want _all_ of them? man -k ".*"
[08:34] <PirateHead> hateyla: to get a detailed description of any command, run the command "man the-command". This includes "man man"
[08:34] <Andeh> Wow this compiling thing is fun
[08:34] <greig_> CheshireViking : im just looking up some info, my problem is once i get the drivers i still dont know how to install them, lol
[08:34] <AlexC_> PirateHead: man man? lol
[08:34] <Andeh> :-D
[08:35] <cyber_cop> AMSN pakgace intalled
[08:35] <_`XeOn_> eck, but since config is in root it cant be read so the bot doesnt start
[08:35] <PirateHead> hateyla: don't do what eck suggested. It's a pretty bad idea.
[08:35] <hateyla> Hansel: i said to you i m new :S i dont know the commands .. if i dont know the commands then how can i get info it through man :)
[08:35] <cyber_cop> console command please
[08:35] <AlexC_> PirateHead: sudo apt-get install sudo  E: package sudo not found
[08:35] <eck> _`XeOn_: copy it to your home directory and use the -m option
[08:35] <PirateHead> AlexC_: How will you ever get sudo installed???
[08:35] <Andeh> I am looking for a GAIM alternative with support for as many MSN features as possible, like webcam and audio.
[08:35] <Andeh> What's a good one to use?
[08:35] <eck> PirateHead: what is wrong with that?
[08:35] <AlexC_> PirateHead: :P
[08:35] <Poul^Laptop> wonder if i should try out all the crap with wine for running wow
[08:35] <_`XeOn_> eck what if i move eggdrop.sh to home folder?
[08:36] <cyber_cop> amsn-0.96-2.tcl84.x86.package install HELP
[08:36] <Poul^Laptop> guess thats the only way to do so
[08:36] <jason_> has anyone here installed Uplink the game?
[08:36] <cyber_cop> console command please
[08:36] <Hackmo> Andeh, check out amsn
[08:36] <PirateHead> eck: running man -k ".*" is a really big operation, and I'm sure it's not something that would be helpful to a newbie.
[08:36] <taigeR_`> I'll soon find out
[08:36] <cyber_cop> packgace from desktop
[08:36] <eck> _`XeOn_: sure, but you still need to know where it is looking for the config, it might be hardcoded into the shell script
[08:36] <Andeh> AMSN, does it support webcam?
[08:36] <AlexC_> yes
[08:36] <AlexC_> I think :P
[08:36] <Hackmo> Andeh, it's a bit slower than gaim tbh but it supports webcams and look a lot more like msn
[08:36] <Hackmo> yeah it does
[08:36] <Hackmo> definitely
[08:36] <Hackmo> I use it
[08:36] <eck> _`XeOn_: are you familiar with any shell scripting?
[08:36] <CheshireViking> greig_, ok, i'll leave you to it - good luck, i had problems with canorama freezing the computer
[08:36] <thcmonkey> do i need to download a dvd codec for ubuntu?
[08:37] <_`XeOn_> eck, it looks in the same directory where .sh is
[08:37] <MostKnown53> hey i have a question how is ubuntu compared with kubuntu
[08:37] <cyber_cop> support please
[08:37] <eck> _`XeOn_: yeah, then copying it to your home directory should be fine
[08:37] <PirateHead> Poul^Laptop: getting it working under Cedega is reportedly easier, and if you're a frequent linux gamer, you might want to check it out.
[08:37] <PirateHead> Poul^Laptop: It's a wine-like compatability layer designed totally for gaming.
[08:37] <AlexC_> MostKnown53: Ubuntu uses Gnome as it's Desktop Environment, Kubuntu uses KDe
[08:38] <Poul^Laptop> piratehead - ok, i am just not sure if i wanna use time on getting it to work.
[08:38] <MostKnown53> i know about the different gui but how are the communitys for both
[08:38] <ep2011> Err... HELP.. Windows isn't booting now, its stuck at the welcome screen after I defragged...
[08:38] <AlexC_> MostKnown53: personally I prefer Gnome for it's simplicity, others perfer KDE because you can customize it more. Some like tea some like coffee - try both and see what is best for you
[08:38] <buddha> isnt kubuntu kinda kde and gnome combined?
[08:38] <AlexC_> ep2011: this is Ubuntu support, not Windows
[08:38] <Andeh> lol
[08:38] <B|nTaRa> how i wanna set my connectio to use proxy instead of direct connect
[08:38] <AlexC_> buddha: Kubuntu is just Ubuntu without Gnome and with KDE instead,
[08:38] <ep2011> AlexC_: I know, but I was told to defrag again at this channel
[08:38] <Poul^Laptop> Speeking of Amsn, is kmess not decent aswell
[08:38] <Andeh> You must have used a bad defragger :D
[08:38] <Andeh> kmess?
[08:38] <Poul^Laptop> or dont it support webcams
[08:38] <PirateHead> MostKnown53: they both use the exact same package repository, so there is nothing you can do in one that you have no way of doing in the other. The only difference is the default package installation, with one coming from the Gnome camp (www.gnome.org) and the other from the K Desktop Environment.
[08:39] <AnxiousCo> " Ensure the relevant repositories are enabled. Click System  Administration  Synaptic Package Manager  Settings  Repositories and then click Add. Check the Community maintained (Universe) and Non-free (Multiverse) boxes. When you close the window, click Reload" When I open settings->respositories there are tabs. and the only "Add" button is in the third party tab... it does not give me an option as stated... What could I be doin
[08:39] <Poul^Laptop> kmess, msn chat application
[08:39] <Pir8> I installed Edgy on a T60 Lenovo, and I can't seem to get my NIC working? Any suggestions/pointesr ?
[08:39] <eck> buddha: it's kind of hard to run a desktop without gtk+ installed at all...
[08:39] <hateyla> when i rebooted my system there is something problem with FAT partitions in that Screen it shows No FSinfo .. this error comes with all fat partitions.. and after then its clears it self and start the machine
[08:39] <Andeh> kmess better than AMSN?
[08:39] <AlexC_> eck: not really,
[08:39] <PirateHead> MostKnown53: the communitites of Ubuntu and Kubuntu are closely intertwined, so thought there are differences, there is nothing in particular to report.
[08:39] <Poul^Laptop> dont know, havent tryed amsn
[08:39] <Andeh> Whats that other one, kotote or something?
[08:39] <AlexC_> Kopete
[08:39] <Poul^Laptop> But i love kmess, but havent tryed webcams with it
[08:39] <MostKnown53> well thanks that helped alot i like kde i just tought it i used kubuntu i would miss out on the community and other sutuff
[08:40] <Scottty> hello
[08:40] <AlexC_> hi
[08:40] <N3WB> Is it possible to get a PHP Script to restart a program lets say steam?
[08:40] <eck> no firefox and no gaim at the very least, plus i think most of the in-house tools written at canonical use gtk+
[08:40] <Poul^Laptop> general speeking, i havent got my webcam to work on this laptop
[08:40] <AnxiousCo> I am using 6.10 btw
[08:40] <Poul^Laptop> dont seam like the lspci find it
[08:40] <PirateHead> Hello Scottty.
[08:40] <AlexC_> MostKnown53: nope - they are both from the same great community =)
[08:40] <Andeh> Which is faster / less resource munching, GNOME or KDE?
[08:40] <xtknight> Andeh: gnome i'd say
[08:40] <Andeh> Ok
[08:40] <eck> Andeh: there is not much difference, despite what people will tell you
[08:40] <Scottty> I'm trying to install the latest nvidia driver, off nvidia's website, but I'm unable to stop the Xorg server, and I can only start the installation of Xorg is off
[08:40] <Andeh> But GNOME is less configurable
[08:40] <Scottty> sorry for jumping in like this
[08:40] <xtknight> yup
[08:40] <Andeh> AFAIK
[08:40] <Andeh> Ok
[08:40] <AlexC_> !nvidia | Scottty
[08:40] <ubotu> Scottty: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[08:41] <Andeh> I am going to get KDE then
[08:41] <MostKnown53> i love pretty
[08:41] <eck> gross
[08:41] <Andeh> How would i do that?
[08:41] <AlexC_> Scottty: jump straight in is fine =)
[08:41] <eck> sorry, couldn't help it :-)
[08:41] <wikityler> i've connected to my server via ssh, so i can edit the interfaces file with gedit, but how to i open the file with root permissions to edit it?
[08:41] <CheshireViking> Andeh, aMSN doesn't work with my Creative Webcam - i was getting an error message about it not supporting something so i changed to Kopete
[08:41] <Andeh> I have to install some KDE packages, and then change a reference in a file?
[08:41] <Scottty> ubotu: will you please tell me how to shut down Xorg completely, temporarly
[08:41] <PirateHead> Andeh: good luck. It's a neat environment,. To install it, type "sudo apt-get kubuntu-desktop" -- that's the easy way, anyhow.
[08:41] <AlexC_> !sudo | wikityler
[08:41] <ubotu> wikityler: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[08:41] <Hackmo> Scottty, I don't suppose you are from Dundee?
[08:41] <Andeh> Thanks a lot everybody!
[08:41] <PirateHead> Andeh: correction
[08:41] <AlexC_> Scottty: ubotu is a bot,
[08:41] <Scottty> Dundee? nope
[08:41] <Scottty> ah
[08:41] <Scottty> I see
[08:41] <AnxiousCo> anyone else have the same problem as me? this should be simple...
[08:41] <AlexC_> :P
[08:41] <Andeh> I was trying to remember the name, kopete
[08:42] <AnxiousCo> is the one under third party correct?
[08:42] <_`XeOn_> eck, i got both egg exec and config in home directory how to change permition?
[08:42] <PirateHead> Andeh: "sudo apt-get install kde-desktop" -- for got to put install in there. =D
[08:42] <Scottty> what file do I need to edit to disable auto Xorg start?
[08:42] <wikityler> alexc: how do i run gedit from this computer while sudoing a file over ssh then?
[08:42] <eck> _`XeOn_: chmod of course, you probably need to use sudo in front of it
[08:42] <Andeh> ok thanks
[08:42] <AnxiousCo> n/m found it
[08:42] <AnxiousCo> thanks
[08:42] <PirateHead> AnxiousCo: still trying to get your new HDD mounted?
[08:42] <eck> Scottty: you need to disable te run script
[08:42] <findeton> hi
[08:42] <AlexC_> wikityler: you can't. You have to do everything via terminal - so instead use nano. "sudo nano /path/to/file"
[08:42] <findeton> i'm on kubuntu
[08:42] <eck> Scottty: the easiest way is to install sysv-rc-conf
[08:43] <xtknight> PirateHead: kubuntu-desktop or kde-desktop?
[08:43] <Andeh> Around how long would a compile take?
[08:43] <msgmikeh> Random Thought, I used to use StarOffice back in the day of OS/2. :)
[08:43] <x386> Anybody has suggestion for CD/DVD cataloging SW which have archive browsing support?
[08:43] <Scottty> eck: how?
[08:43] <AlexC_> xtknight: kubuntu-desktop
[08:43] <_`XeOn_> eck, what is the complete string?
[08:43] <eck> Scottty: apt-get install sysv-rc-conf
[08:43] <PirateHead> xtknight: kubuntu-desktop, for sure. I keep mistyping!
[08:43] <hateyla>  when i rebooted my system there is something problem with FAT partitions in that Screen it shows No FSinfo found /dev/hda1 and other FATS.. this error comes with all fat partitions.. and after then its clears it self and start the machine.. how can i correct this?
[08:43] <findeton> i don't know why, but when i play a video the screen 'jumps' (there are frames that are lost)
[08:43] <Andeh> How long would it take to compile a big program?
[08:43] <xtknight> heheh ;)
[08:43] <eck> _`XeOn_: sudo chmod $USER:$USER ~/eggdrop.sh
[08:43] <xtknight> Andeh: such as?
[08:43] <AlexC_> Andeh: impossible to say.
[08:43] <PirateHead> Andeh: depending on your machine, it could take minutes or hours.
[08:43] <Andeh> XEN virtual desktop enviroment?
[08:43] <findeton> i don't know why, but when i play a video the screen 'jumps' (there are frames that are lost)
[08:43] <Ltar> this is a problem-- my period and comma keys don't resopond anymore--  I can't use greater than or less than either
[08:43] <findeton> :p
[08:43] <AlexC_> Andeh: what could be 46 days on one pc, could take 46 seconds on another
[08:43] <B|nTaRa> !yahoo > B|nTaRa
[08:44] <Pollywog> or days on Gentoo ;)
[08:44] <Andeh> Well i dont own the former :D
[08:44] <B|nTaRa> !yahoo | B|nTaRa
[08:44] <PirateHead> Andeh: it's likely to take awhile.
[08:44] <xtknight> main problem is, what is the definition of a "big" program..
[08:44] <_`XeOn_>  $USER:$USER is from:to
[08:44] <_`XeOn_> ?
[08:44] <B|nTaRa> !yahoo
[08:44] <eck> _`XeOn_: no, it is user:group
[08:44] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about yahoo - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:44] <Andeh> Would i be able to use sudo apt-get while compiling with "make"?
[08:44] <AlexC_> xtknight: one that is this <-----------------------> big
[08:44] <eck> _`XeOn_: when you type it in the shell will replace it with your user
[08:44] <AlexC_> Andeh: yers
[08:44] <eck> _`XeOn_: try running echo $USER
[08:44] <Andeh> Thanks again
[08:44] <B|nTaRa> !ym B|nTaRa

[08:44] <whta> is there any way to get filezilla from a repository?
[08:44] <findeton> i don't know why, but when i play a video the screen 'jumps' (there are frames that are lost)
[08:44] <findeton> !
[08:45] <xtknight> findeton: what codec?  xvid?
[08:45] <findeton> yes
[08:45] <findeton> it's xvid
[08:45] <Pollywog> btw why does fakeroot not work in Ubuntu as it does in Debian?  I need sudo in Ubuntu, plain fakeroot won't work
[08:45] <eck> _`XeOn_: you could also just use your username, i just don't know what it is
[08:45] <findeton> on vlc and kaffeine, for example
[08:45] <Scottty> sysv-rc-conf wasn't found :(
[08:45] <xtknight> i was just going to say if it was H.264 i could understand that, although any modern CPU should be able to do xvid without issues
[08:45] <cheeseboy> how do i make iso?
[08:45] <_`XeOn_> /home/sasser
[08:45] <whta> is there any way to get filezilla from a repository?
[08:45] <Ltar> this is a problem-- my period and comma keys don't respond anymore--  I can't use greater than or less than either
[08:45] <PirateHead> man ubotu
[08:46] <eck> Scottty: it is in universe
[08:46] <xtknight> !info filezilla | Scottty
[08:46] <PirateHead> I want the ubotu manual!
[08:46] <PirateHead> !bot > piratehead
[08:46] <ubotu> scottty: filezilla: Port of the famous Win32 graphical FTP client. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.0.0~beta2-2~edgy1 (edgy-backports), package size 659 kB, installed size 1716 kB
[08:46] <cheeseboy> how do i make bootable iso?
[08:46] <findeton> xtknight: and the thing is that i believe it's because i updated yesterday the vlc through synaptic
[08:46] <eck> _`XeOn_: anyway, the command i gave will work
[08:46] <AlexC_> whta: don't think so - just download the latest nightly build and go to the directory it is in and run the command "filezilla"
[08:46] <jim> Is there a quick utility/program that can test the 3D on my graphics card please?
[08:46] <xtknight> findeton: hrmm did you try a different video output device?
[08:46] <Pollywog> jim: nvidia?
[08:46] <Andeh> Would running windows XP in a virtual enviroment on ubuntu on a dual core be better than running it normally?
[08:46] <Andeh> Maybe ubuntu would make better use of the dual cores and thus improve performance?
[08:46] <cheeseboy> how do i make bootable iso?
[08:46] <kaiden> going to ask a silly question, used to you could kill the xserver via ctrl - alt - backspace, nowadays it just reruns it when you attempt to do that, is there a stopx command or anything along the lines to gracefully close X?
[08:47] <findeton> xtknight: i don't understant, a different video output device?
[08:47] <AlexC_> PirateHead: huh?! Filezilla is not in the repos,
[08:47] <xtknight> Andeh: i dont quite understand what you mean...
[08:47] <eck> Andeh: it will not make it perform better
[08:47] <cheeseboy> anyone?
[08:47] <jim> No, ATI Polly
[08:47] <cheeseboy> how do i make bootable iso?
[08:47] <Pollywog> oh
[08:47] <eck> Andeh: it will probably be slower
[08:47] <Andeh> ok thanks again

[08:47] <hateyla> i want to install win32 codecs where i can find this codec?
[08:47] <findeton> xtknight: i don't understant, a different video output device? :P
[08:47] <Andeh> Because windows meant not for dual core doesnt use both optimally
[08:47] <jrib> kaiden: ctrl-alt-backspace kills it, then gdm starts it agiain, so stop gdm like so:  sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop
[08:47] <Pollywog> hateyla: w32codecs
[08:47] <AlexC_> xtknight: yeah I just saw that from when PirateHead did it ... but it's not in the repos (for me) and I have universe enabled ...
[08:47] <jrib> kaiden: I would log out first btw
[08:48] <kaiden> jrib: ah thanks ;)
[08:48] <eck> Andeh: does not windows ___ pro have smp support?
[08:48] <xtknight> AlexC_: need backports
[08:48] <CheshireViking> jim, what do you want to test? if its just whether it works, try typing glxgears into a terminal
[08:48] <kaiden> yup yuup
[08:48] <hateyla> Pollywog: ya i want this how can get this codec?
[08:48] <xtknight> findeton: umm...it's in the VLC options somewhere
[08:48] <Ltar> cheeseboy: try this http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=28948
[08:48] <AlexC_> xtknight: doh, thanks
[08:48] <Pollywog> but you need to get them from .... hang on
[08:48] <ep2011> cheeseboy: Search Imgburn on google. I am assuming you are using Windows
[08:48] <PirateHead> AlexC_: I do not know what the deal with tha tis.
[08:48] <AlexC_> PirateHead: I didn't have Backports turned on :P
[08:48] <cheeseboy> im on ubuntu
[08:48] <hateyla> Pollywog:  ok.
[08:48] <Ltar> cheeseboy: or do you mean--- how do you burn an iso to boot?
[08:48] <Ltar> cheeseboy: oh
[08:48] <findeton> xtknight: i'l search for that
[08:48] <MostKnown53> does ubuntu use rpms or what to install programs
[08:48] <cheeseboy> i want to make an iso
[08:49] <AlexC_> MostKnown53: .debs
[08:49] <eck> cheeseboy: you cannot make any iso bootable, the iso needs to have a bootloader on it
[08:49] <cheeseboy> not burn
[08:49] <jim> Cheers Viking, that works!!!!!
[08:49] <eck> cheeseboy: you need to use isolinux
[08:49] <Pollywog> medibuntu has the codecs
[08:49] <greig_> CheshireViking : im still fighting with this cam, on the install instructions it says... "First, download the sources. Then type make. It should produce nw802.o"..... where do i type make? sorry to bother u
[08:49] <PirateHead> MostKnown53: it uses the Debian GNU/Linux .deb installer. You can install .rpm packages using the experimental "alien" installer, howerver.
[08:49] <cheeseboy> eck i want to make iso from win 98 oem setup files
[08:49] <Andeh> My sound card input isnt getting anything. It works in windowsxp so i know the hardwares fine.
[08:49] <hateyla> Pollywog:  where i found this?
[08:50] <cheeseboy> is it possible?
[08:50] <Andeh> The microfone
[08:50] <MostKnown53> ok are .deb files easy to install
[08:50] <eck> cheeseboy: and you want it to boot linux, or what?
[08:50] <AlexC_> MostKnown53: should double click on them
[08:50] <xtknight> MostKnown53: sudo dpkg -i <asdf.deb>  in the console
[08:50] <AlexC_> s/should/just
[08:50] <PirateHead> MostKnown53: they are very easy to install. You can use apt-get, aptitude, or Synaptic, at your choice.
[08:50] <findeton> xtknight: i see x11, opengl, xvideo, imagearchive and opengl (glx) but on xvideo and x11 there are no options!
[08:50] <AlexC_> or just double click :P far easier
[08:50] <PirateHead> MostKnown53: Synaptic lets you find, download, in install .deb packages via a graphical menu.
[08:51] <cheeseboy> eck: i want to make iso out windows 98 installer files then boot win 98 installer iso in vmware

[08:51] <Andeh> My microphone isnt getting anything on ubuntu! It worked on windows, how do i fix this??
[08:51] <CheshireViking> greig_, i'm probably not the best person to ask about using the make command, i've rarely had to use it & I end up asking for help myself

[08:51] <xtknight> findeton: which video output is selected right now?
[08:51] <robinsjostrom> will the next version of ubuntu support more ATI cards?

[08:51] <hateyla> PiratedHead: if Synaptic aint find what am i looking for than?
[08:51] <greig_> CheshireViking : ok thanks anyway!

[08:51] <Pollywog> hateyla: http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/
[08:51] <findeton> xtknight: i don't know, i don't see that option/information there
[08:51] <Andeh> Cant anyone help??
[08:51] <PirateHead> hateyla: What is the problem? Synaptic can't find what you want?
[08:52] <robinsjostrom> AlexC_: so..... NVIDIA is better than ATI?
[08:52] <cyber_cop> support me. My private
[08:52] <findeton> xtknight: i'm yet searching that
[08:52] <eck> cheeseboy: you can't just put the files on a cd and make the cd bootable, you need a bootloader and a kernel on the cd at the very least
[08:52] <Andeh> HOW DO I GET MY MICROPHONE TO WORK?
[08:52] <AlexC_> robinsjostrom: for Linux support I would say so yes. Infact I am about to buy a nVidia to replace my ATI so I get better support
[08:52] <PirateHead> hateyla: You might need to enable an additional repository, or download an upstream package.

[08:56] <ubotu> aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT, like apt-get. However, aptitude can remember the dependencies installed with a package and remove them if you uninstall. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide
[08:57] <Andeh> ok, too late for that tho blueeagle

[08:57] <ubotu> cyber_cop: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude.
[08:57] <Ltar> eck: attempting to remap keyboard shortcuts via system-preferences-keyboard shortcuts
[08:57] <cyber_cop> ok PirateHead
[08:57] <eck> Ltar: i would just wipe out ~/.gconf and maybe ~/.gnome2 and hope it fixes your mistake. you will lose any configuration you did
[08:57] <TheVault> I'm not sure if you get question everyday but does linux come with a system restore kinda function like windows(oh god, he said windows)
[08:57] <fellacious> i want to audio chat with aim users... does ubuntu have any software to do that with?
[08:58] <eck> you could back them up and copy things over as needed
[08:58] <AnxiousCo> fdisk is finally reading my hard drive :) now for it to be visible and navigable do i mount it, correct?
[08:58] <TheVault> eck: So there is no system restore function kinda program?
[08:58] <Andeh> Whats the command for choosing the default Desktop Enviroment? The terminal just set mine to KDE and i wonder how to turn it back?
[08:58] <eck> TheVault: it's called tar :-)
[08:58] <thcmonkey> ubuntu got an app to write isos?
[08:58] <eck> (just kidding, of course)
[08:58] <CheshireViking> greig_, from memory, all i would do is right click on the file & extract it, then open a terminal, then cd to the directory that has just been created when the files were extracted and then type make in that directory - BUT - before you do that, maybe someone else can confirm it
[08:58] <TheVault> thcmonkey: yes
[08:58] <eck> there is no equivalent of system restore in windows
[08:58] <Andeh> thcmonkey: isolinux
[08:59] <TheVault> thecmonkey: try k3b
[08:59] <BlueEagle> thevault: System restoration is usually done manually in linux.
[08:59] <Ltar> eck: /gconf and /gnome are the shortcut maps? I presume?
[08:59] <eck> AnxiousCo: that is correct
[08:59] <TheVault> BlueEagle: Oh, that makes sense
[08:59] <thcmonkey> gonme baker writes them to though right?
[08:59] <eck> Ltar: ~/.gconf and ~/.gnome2 are where all your gnome settings are stored
[08:59] <thcmonkey> gnome*
[08:59] <greig_> CheshireViking: i have beeing a linux noobie lol
[08:59] <BlueEagle> thevault: Well figuring that linux runs on more platforms than windows does making a generic "rescue" is harder.
[08:59] <Andeh> How do i change my desktop environment back to GNOME after installing KDE?
[08:59] <TheVault> Oh, alrighty
[08:59] <AnxiousCo> ok thanks, does partition mean to divide into seperate drive letters or does it also mean to assign a drive a letter?
[08:59] <AnxiousCo> or is that windows only gibberish
[08:59] <BlueEagle> thevault: What exactly needs to be restored?
