[16:14] <|Dede|> shall I use WEP /try WEP (that's so unsecure :( )
[16:14] <zelrikriando> maybe 1/8
[16:14] <ubuntu__> ^_^
[16:14] <razor-x11> lol =)
[16:14] <bazhang> Jd0gg: how much drive space we talking? a few GB?
[16:14] <soundray> zelrikriando: so your granddad was 100%? Or your great-grandma?
[16:14] <razor-x11> Terrible thing is to lie to your self ;)
[16:15] <zelrikriando> soundray: no neither of them
[16:15] <razor-x11> Use WPA not WEP or WPA2
[16:15] <keiserr> so 1/4 geek :p you have any idea where "/dists/gutsy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz" gets extracted? (or how to bypass the md5sums ubuntu setup tries to do?
[16:15] <Jd0gg> nah... it's a 160gb hd and i think the max the motherboard will see is 80 or 120 i can't remember to be quite honest with you.
[16:15] <zelrikriando> soundray: I had to get "geek implants"
[16:15] <razor-x11> keiserr
[16:15] <|Dede|> razor, my router can only do "WPA/WP2"
[16:15] <razor-x11> reburn the disk
[16:15] <|Dede|> I dont know why
[16:15] <|Dede|> but it doesnt let me do only "WPA"
[16:15] <razor-x11> Well, set only a passphase, not all the WPA2 options
[16:16] <keiserr> razor-x11, its been my 7th attempt at reburning that dist
[16:16] <keiserr> *disk
[16:16] <Jd0gg> bazhang, and that's where Dynamic Disc Overlay comes into play, it loads before the OS and "unlocks" the extra space for the operating system to see.
[16:16] <razor-x11> Ohhh, Maybe a dodgy cd/dvd drive?
[16:16] <bazhang> Jd0gg: really sounds like hardware but perhaps some of the brilliant folks here can chip in
[16:16] <amenado> keiserr-> do you have any other linux distro installed on your pc?
[16:16] <soundray> zelrikriando: like this guy?: http://www.wired.com/gadgets/mods/news/2006/06/71087
[16:16] <lopin> command1 > /dev/null 2> %1 &
[16:16] <keiserr> plus the md5 hash of the iso downloaded matches that of the one at http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/MD5SUMS
[16:16] <zelrikriando> keiserr: you need at least a 1/2 geek to answer that
[16:16] <lopin> YEAH!
[16:16] <lopin> I'm out guys!
[16:17] <bazhang> cya lopin
[16:17] <keiserr> amenado, : i have a FreeBSD box and an osx box
[16:17] <Ornedan> lopin: It worked, thanks
[16:17] <razor-x11> Byee =) lopin
[16:17] <Jd0gg> bazhang, i agree the hard ware is posing an added 'obstacle' to overcome in order to install.
[16:17] <keiserr> amenado,  used to have ubuntu on my laptop until the laptop died some weeks ago
[16:17] <amenado> keiserr-> those dont use grub as boot loader do they? if they can, you can put a copy of the livecd on  hard disk and boot from it
[16:17] <razor-x11> Is it the texted based installer or GUI interface?
[16:18] <bazhang> keiserr: how about burning another linux iso and eliminate media as a source of error, like dsl or puppy linux then try booting from that
[16:18] <keiserr> amenado, : the FreeBSD do use Grub (atleast i tweaked it a bit), and all the ways, the ubuntu CD itself does have grub in it
[16:18] <razor-x11> Yeah it dose
[16:18] <azuki> which terminal command can be used to delete a directory which contains files and other directories
[16:18] <azuki> ?
[16:18] <razor-x11> rm -F
[16:18] <keiserr> bazhang, : that would be worth a try
[16:18] <soundray> azuki: rm -r
[16:19] <razor-x11> or rmdir -F
[16:19] <bazhang> keiserr: once you do that then you can know if it is media or corrupted iso file
[16:20] <amenado> keiserr-> oh i just remembered, freebsd uses a different partition type, so am not sure if livecd can boot of it, if it was ext3 or ext2 you could try to boot of a hard disk..
[16:20] <soundray> razor-x11: neither rm nor rmdir has a -F option
[16:20] <azuki> soundray: thnx
[16:20] <keiserr> bazhang: okie, but explain to me the logic behind a matching hash, but corrupted file?
[16:20] <amenado> oh shoot, have to leave
[16:20] <razor-x11> Ohh i stand corrected.
[16:20] <razor-x11> -f not -F dam, typo's
[16:21] <keiserr> amenado: it can, because of grub
[16:22] <soundray> razor-x11: even then you're still off: 'mkdir test ; rm -f test' gives: rm: cannot remove `test': Is a directory
[16:22] <keiserr> rm -rf
[16:22] <soundray> keiserr: the f is superfluous
[16:22] <nickrud> so is -r , just rmdir
[16:23] <AtomicSpark> hey guys, quick question. i'm on a laptop and i set my power options to set display at 100% while on battery and unchecked dim display on idle. my screen still dims when AC is unpluged and after awhile if i turn it back up. any ideas?
[16:23] <soundray> nickrud: if you use rm, you have to use -r if it's a directory
[16:23] <nickrud> soundray only if there's something in there, your test case has none
[16:23] <eliseu> You'll never be the man your mother was!
[16:23] <keiserr> hmm rm -rf drename works just fine
[16:24] <nickrud> soundray speaking of rmdir , not rm . I wasn't very clear in my last
[16:24] <Adry> I've installed Openoffice 2.4.When I open it, the Menu has a strange font (shapes, circles. etc), truly unreadable. How can I fix it?
[16:24] <AtomicSpark> you manually upgraded openoffice?
[16:25] <razor-x11> rm is only for files not dir's.
[16:25] <AtomicSpark> razor-x11: rm can be used on directories :P
[16:25] <soundray> razor-x11: rm works on directories just fine (with -r)
[16:25] <AtomicSpark> i've never used rmdir lol
[16:26] <zel> rm -R removes recursively (the directory and all files and subdirectories)
[16:26] <soundray> zel: so does rm -r
[16:26] <mariobro> !dual-boot
[16:26] <unop__> -r is -R and vice-versa :)

[16:26] <razor-x11> Ok, enuff off the rm and rmdir lol
[16:27] <zel> lol
[16:28] <stoog> anyone do ubuntu installs for a slicehost slice?
[16:28] <razor-x11> shame you can't vote here on which is better "rm" or "rmdir" lol
[16:28] <keiserr> rm is better than rmdir
[16:28] <keiserr> :p
[16:28] <keiserr> hahahaha
[16:28] <razor-x11> lol
[16:28] <keiserr> :p that's my opinion and oyu can't do anything to changei t :p
[16:28] <unop__> razor-x11, you can't compare the two because they do different things :)
[16:28] <razor-x11> rm -r / :P lol

[16:32] <AtomicSpark> cola: you can remove your task bar(?) and make a new panel then set it to a larger size and set it to not expand allt he way. i'm not sure what the options are called but they're in properties. you'll figure it out.

[16:36] <mariobro> Ok, I have windows xp and I'm wanting to dual-boot.  I have a question about the partition screen after you click install on the livecd.  Is the percent how much you're shrinking the old partition, or how much you're giving the new one?
[16:36] <Cahan> thanks LjL
[16:36] <soundray> ryanzec: so there was only a single line from the --list command?
[16:36] <Adys> mariobro:  how much you give the new one
[16:37] <mariobro> ok, so 30 % would be fiven to the new one for ubuntu instead of shrinking it to 30 %
[16:37] <soundray> mariobro: give it 50%, then it won't matter ;)
[16:37] <mariobro> lol
[16:37] <Adys> lol
[16:37] <zel> :)
[16:37] <ryanzec> soundray: update-alternatives --list java return the same thing "No alternatives for java."
[16:37] <mariobro> i've been using ubuntu through vmware, but now i want the graphics
[16:37] <soundray> mariobro: seriously, I think the percentage is what will be left after the shrinking
[16:38] <sparr_> I am trying to use my pc with my hdtv.  I can get 1024x768 ad 1280x768 to work, but not 136*x768 (tried 1360, 1366, etc).  Any advice?

[16:38] <Mr_Sonoma> any one got a suggestion on a cups/windows problem? I can see my printer on my linux box with my wifes windows laptop, I have added the printer into her laptop (installed driver) and obviously since i can browse my kubuntu machine SAMBA is working.....but what i dont get is why when i send the test print it shows as sent on windows, and shows in the jobs page of the cups interface but never actually prints out of the printer....suggestions
[16:38] <Mr_Sonoma> on what i've missed?
[16:38] <mariobro> soundray:  I think that's what I've read online, but I was confused
[16:39] <Jabroni5> <-- solved problem!! Ubuntu rules! -- had trouble removing dead "connect to server..." links on Ubuntu desktop -- realized that only way to "unmount volume" was in "right-click" menu which my ubuntu-i386 emulator had remapped to a different key combo -- PEACE!

[16:44] <mariobro> I'm still new to Ubuntu and linux, how many gb should I give ubuntu?  So far I've only used 6 on VMware.
[16:44] <soundray> bullgard4: I don't think there is one. iproute-doc contains a /usr/share/doc/iproute-doc/rtstat.txt
[16:44] <mariobro> 20 gb?
[16:44] <esteth> mariobro: What size is your hard drive?
[16:44] <mariobro> 140
[16:44] <bastid_raZor> mariobro; i'd suggest atleast 10.. but 20 would be better
[16:44] <mariobro> ok
[16:44] <zippytech> is there a way to have a remote desktop viewer for any user that logs into a machine
[16:44] <mariobro> thanks
[16:45] <bastid_raZor> mariobro; or if you want to use more that is even better than that
[16:45] <esteth> about 20 should do then, if you're planning on keeping most of your data on your other drive
[16:45] <mariobro> for now I am
[16:45] <zippytech> without having to login and setup the remote desktop for each users
[16:45] <maek> OMG best guide ever http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=557491 ... now I can have the genie effects I wanted
[16:45] <mariobro> later i'll probably get rid of windows completly
[16:46] <maek> mariobro, have Windows in a virtual box VM just in case
[16:46] <Scunizi> mariobro, you should set up 3 partitions.. / which is root=10-12gigs  /swap=1gig max    /home the rest of it for data storage
[16:46] <Jabroni5> g*d i luv reason
[16:46] <bastid_raZor> mariobro; i have 10 for / but i have my /home seperate.. / should be 10 or better for dist upgrades..
[16:46] <bullgard4> soundray: I am going to install iproute-doc and have a look. --  Thank you very much.
[16:46] <mariobro> ok
[16:47] <mariobro> thanks guys
[16:47] <bastid_raZor> mariobro; Scunizi's advice is more accurate..
[16:48] <mariobro> why keep the partitions separate?
[16:48] <zel> mariobro: having a separate partition for /home isn't completely necessary, but it can be convinient because if you ever have to reinstall, you still have everything in /home as long as you don't wipe that partition
[16:48] <esteth> The only real reason is to keep data between OS wipes
[16:48] <Vadi> How can I tell what video card is being used on my computer? (If I have several of them)
[16:48] <unop__> mariobro, to prevent processes from filing up the hard disk
[16:48] <soundray> mariobro: it makes upgrades easier
[16:48] <bastid_raZor> mariobro; in case you need to reinstall /home will be unaffected.. / is where system files are.
[16:48] <nickrud> bastid_raZor that's big enough, I use 12 and haven't got much above 8 with lots installed
[16:49] <keiserr> trying my installation with a new DVD drive...
[16:49] <keiserr> :p am almost sure it will fail
[16:49] <esteth> Vadi: check the device in /etc/X11/xorg.conf against running lspci at a terminal
[16:49] <Scunizi> mariobro, swap is always seprate.. /home is good to separate for upgrades and reinstalls because your data will be intact
[16:49] <mariobro> ok, how can i set this up using the livecd?
[16:49] <soundray> keiserr: that's right, psych yourself up for it ;)
[16:50] <Vadi> esteth: hm, lspci isn't reporting my graphics card at all there :/
[16:50] <bastid_raZor> nickrud; sadly if/when i ever have to reinstall i'm going to make / 20G .. 10G now and i have issues doing dist-upgrades
[16:50] <keiserr> okie the disk check is taking longer... but still at 0%
[16:50] <JonasD> Hi! When I try java web start (javaws), I get this error:

[16:50] <JonasD> How can I fix it?
[16:50] <unop__> esteth, other 'real' reasons are different file system blocksizes, defragmentation, preventing processes from filing up the harddrive, security and mount point options, etc -- there are plenty more i can't remember now
[16:50] <nickrud> bastid_raZor hm, that's sad. You must have bunches ;)

[16:51] <esophagus> ?
[16:51] <Scunizi> bastid_raZor, maybe you need to clean out remaining .deb files and log files that have accumulated
[16:52] <Vadi> esophagus: not me... I hope ff3 can fix that though.
[16:52] <bastid_raZor> Scunizi; you mean like an apt-get autoremove?
[16:52] <christophoros> guys am new to ubuntu so i downloaded some drivers for kaffeine .. i have the drivers opened now with ARK program how i install them to kaffeine?
[16:53] <Scunizi> bastid_raZor, yes for the debs.. logs are different..

[16:56] <esteth> christophoros: You should also be able to download the codecs from the packages. try typing "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" at a terminal
[16:56] <Frogger626> Will removing a partition from a hard drive with two partitions delete the first (undeleted) partition?
[16:56] <christophoros> sec
[16:56] <bazhang> christophoros: just listen to esteth
[16:56] <Scunizi> Frogger626, it's your choice
[16:56] <Frogger626> ???
[16:56] <keiserr> okie okie tell me something
[16:57] <Scunizi> Frogger626, when removing partitions you make the choice as to which one you delete
[16:57] <Frogger626> I want to remove one partition (to install ubuntu on) and leave the other intact
[16:57] <Frogger626> I can do that, right?
[16:57] <Scunizi> Frogger626, sure.. is windows on the other partition?
[16:57] <Frogger626> However did you guess?
[16:58] <Frogger626> And I can delete partitions in Ubuntu using the Partition editer
[16:58] <Scunizi> Frogger626, dual boot is pretty common.. I do it.
[16:58] <Scunizi> Frogger626, yes
[16:58] <esophagus> you may want to keep that partition at a very small size
[16:58] <keiserr> if ( md5sum (the_iso_i_downloaded ) == THE_MD5SUM_of_the_iso_online) { it is supposed to mean iso isn't corrupted /*right???*/ }
[16:58] <esophagus> in case someday you can't get internet working and reliable windows is the only way to get your linux box working
[16:58] <esophagus> haha
[16:58] <esteth> Frogger626: You can only delete partitions you are not currently using using the partition editor
[16:58] <Xorothal> keiserr: yes
[16:59] <Frogger626> And 'buntu will recognize the unpartitioned space and install to it, leaving the first undeleted partiton intact, right?
[16:59] <bazhang> windows = reliable??
[16:59] <christophoros> esteth downloading it now
[16:59] <soundray> Frogger626: again, you will get to choose
[16:59] <christophoros> ill be able to play dvds right ?:o
[16:59] <esophagus> well
[16:59] <Frogger626> Schweet
[16:59] <RayBan> D4X rewrites URL ie: http://www.myfile.com/files/theone.tar.gz become http://www.myfile.com//files/theone.tar.gz
[16:59] <esophagus> reliable in the sense that if your internet connection works
[16:59] <Xorothal> bazhang: windows == reliable. with a "==" not a "="
[16:59] <esophagus> you can use it to boot up quickly to figure out how to fix linux
[17:00] <keiserr> Xorothal: then its the seventh disk i am burning and all are failing at retrieiving the same exact file! am soon gonna be having a lot of ubuntu 7.10 sever CD lying around, and i am soon going to be short on blank CDs
[17:00] <LjL> !test
[17:00] <Ubotwo> Failed.
[17:00] <Frogger626> Thanks guys
[17:00] <esophagus> very useful when you have no xserver, no knowledge, and no access to forums
[17:00] <bazhang> christophoros: you need to get libdvdcss2 from www.medibuntu.org the instructions are on the site
[17:00] <bazhang> Xorothal: ;]
[17:00] <Xorothal> keiserr: maybe your drive is brokened
[17:00] <exxonn> i need some help ..im new to ubuntu
[17:00] <Scunizi> Frogger626, yep. as long as you tell it to.. partitiions in linux are referred differently.. drive 1, partition 1 is sda1... drive 2 partition 1 is sdb1,  drive 1, partition 2 is sda2..
[17:00] <christophoros> thx alot
[17:00] <Mudassar> I HAVE A PROBLEM
[17:00] <Mudassar> plz solve
[17:00] <xFlipx> lol
[17:00] <xFlipx> morning

[17:00] <magnetron> keiserr: make sure to burn your CD at a slow speed, otherwise it will be corrupted
[17:00] <bazhang> caps Mudassar
[17:01] <bastid_raZor> problem solved. done
[17:01] <xFlipx> TADA
[17:01]  * bastid_raZor bows
[17:01] <keiserr> Xorothal: i tried with 3 different drives, thel ast drive was a NEW drive which i have never used... usedi t today (as in just openned form the box)
[17:01] <Xorothal> hmm
[17:01] <Mudassar> in ubuntu when I use Mozilla browser and see movies on youtube ..
[17:01] <keiserr> magnetron: burnt at 8x (that's the minimum of my drive in my machine
[17:01] <Creationist> Is there any way to have Firefox report itself as IE to a website?
[17:01] <Xorothal> have you tried the broen discs in different computers?
[17:01] <bazhang> keiserr: have you tried downloading another iso to test out?
[17:01] <exxonn> im new to ubuntu .. can someone help me install a bittorrent client
[17:02] <emperorcezar> I'm trying to remember the name of an xwindows programs that let you set the x and y position of the screen output?
[17:02] <keiserr> Xorothal: The disk works fine on THIS machine
[17:02] <bastid_raZor> Creationist; yes, search for the add on agent switcher
[17:02] <soundray> Creationist: yes, there are extensions for that
[17:02] <Xorothal> Creationist: there is an extension, but I forget its name
[17:02] <bazhang> Creationist: yes: user agent switcher
[17:02] <Creationist> Okay, I figured there would be an extension, but had no idea what to even search for :)  Thank you.
[17:02] <magnetron> keiserr: i wouldn't burn it faster than 4x
[17:02] <bastid_raZor> i must have fast hands.. i beat you all
[17:02] <Mudassar> Mozilla hanges in Ubuntu "sometimes" while I click on video link in YouTube.
[17:02] <Mudassar> this is a bug
[17:02] <Xorothal> keiserr: you mean it boots up, and works perfectly on one machine but not another?
[17:02]  * soundray pats bastid_raZor: well done
[17:03] <Mudassar> any pack for that ?
[17:03] <keiserr> bazhang: with my current internet speed, i'll take me more than 1 day to fetch a new iso, and i need to develop my univ project before the end of friday.. and i am already late on schedule thanks for my self over estimation
[17:03] <lordleemo> Creationist: user agent switcher https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=user+agent&cat=all
[17:03] <bazhang> Mudassar: no problems here
[17:03] <Mudassar> it happens sometime
[17:03] <Mudassar> it hanges
[17:03] <Creationist> lordleemo: Found it :) Thanks
[17:03] <bastid_raZor> soundray; but lordleemo seems to have outdone me with his linkage.. :\
[17:03] <magnetron> exxonn: there's a bittorrent client bundled with ubuntu. if you want another one, try transmission. install it with Applications > add/remove
[17:03] <Xorothal> keiserr: ?
[17:03] <bazhang> keiserr: then dsl or puppy linux which are around 30-40 MB
[17:03] <Cyborg> hello ppl
[17:04] <Cyborg> hi bod_
[17:04] <marlun> Is there a dictionary in ubuntu that I can reach from the terminal? I would like to be able to do "dict word" and get an explanation of the word.
[17:04] <Jabroni5> ...mumble mumble...googlebot...mumble...search engine cloaking
[17:04] <Cyborg> i've done it :)
[17:04] <keiserr> magnetron: 4x doesn't seem to exist on my machine, Xorothal : it boots properly on both machine, but on one machine, it can't read the tree "/dists/gutsy/main/binary-i386/"
[17:04] <Cyborg> i read and read and read and i just mount my ntfs partition :)
[17:04] <Creationist> Hmm...is there an extension to make firefox report me as using Windows? lol  Apparently this site only works for Windows computers (which is doubtful from a technical point of view).
[17:04] <kantlivelon1> hey all.. can some kernel guru help me out?
[17:04] <Mudassar> this behaviour of Mozilla in Youtube in ubuntu is very much irritating
[17:04] <exxonn> magnetron: i dont think i have the bundled bittorrent client .. whats it called again?
[17:04] <magnetron> !ask | kantlivelon1
[17:04] <Ubotwo> kantlivelon1: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[17:04] <esophagus> scim
[17:04] <Xorothal> keiserr: then it's your machine that's broken
[17:05] <kantlivelon1> ok..
[17:05] <Mudassar> it's either problem in Youtube development or Ubuntu
[17:05] <Cyborg> i wana install flash player for konqueror
[17:05] <magnetron> exxonn: just doubleclick your .torrent file
[17:05] <Cyborg> some help
[17:05] <bazhang> kantlivelon1: this is not really a kernel support channel what is your question
[17:05] <Cyborg> ;)
[17:05] <keiserr> Xorothal : explain .. i can't make sense of that
[17:05] <Mudassar> it doesn't happen in windows
[17:05] <exxonn> ok lemme try
[17:05] <Cyborg> i wana install flash player for konqueror some help ?
[17:05] <Xorothal> keiserr: the problem is not with the disc, but with the machine
[17:05] <bazhang> Mudassar: likley your setup not youtube or ubuntu; it works fine here
[17:05] <xFlipx> Mudass - no problems here
[17:06] <kantlivelon1> i actually use gentoo. but i have a specially made ubuntu livecd for car computers. my problem is.. on the ubuntu cd my touchscreen works. but on gentoo kernel its not.. i have the same kernel options set(so i think).. can someone help me pick thru and figure out what im missing?
[17:06] <Mudassar> keep changing videos in youtube...
[17:06] <keiserr> is it possible to load installation files via http? (i have a web server running on this machine)
[17:06] <Mudassar> it will hang once in 10 tries
[17:06] <bazhang> Mudassar: up your firefox cache
[17:06] <Mudassar> how ?
[17:07] <kantlivelon1> heh
[17:07] <bazhang> keiserr: how about the minimal iso? it is only 9MB
[17:07] <xFlipx> mudass: look for the options
[17:07] <Xorothal> keiserr: possibly, or you could use samba and smbmount onto the directory
[17:07] <keiserr> that would be cool
[17:07] <kantlivelon1> as i figured.. no one
[17:07] <bazhang> keiserr: then you can net install the rest as you wish
[17:07] <Siefgred> salut
[17:07] <keiserr> hmm any link as to how i make a remote samba installation?
[17:08] <bazhang> xFlipx: tab completion is your friend
[17:08] <Jabroni5> i think it's the "car computers" build that scared them off kant
[17:08] <Xorothal> keiserr: on a windows box
[17:08] <keiserr> Xorothal: i don't have windows
[17:09] <Andycasss> chown -R --dereference www-data:www-data wwwroot gives me "-R --dereference requires either -H or -L" Which one should i use?
[17:09] <keiserr> ahh got you..
[17:09] <Mudassar> how can I increase the cache of mozilla ?
[17:09] <Xorothal> keiserr: what did you think I meant?
[17:09] <keiserr> you want me to share a folder which has the iso mounteR?
[17:09] <Xorothal> keiserr: yes
[17:09] <bazhang> kantlivelon1: this is a gentoo kernel problem?
[17:09] <nickrud> kantlivelon1 you expected to find someone using touchscreens (and knowing the kernel internals of it) on one quick question? ;p
[17:09] <keiserr> *mounted
[17:09] <keiserr> okie shall try
[17:09] <keiserr> but how do i boot form that when i am remote on a machine that has nothing instaled?
[17:10] <Xorothal> keiserr: but bear in mind what I'm saying is an educated guess at most
[17:10] <Xorothal> keiserr: are you getting a gui/terminal?
[17:10] <kantlivelon1> bazhang: nickrud: dont see why a kernel issue would be related to gentoo.. using vanilla
[17:10] <keiserr> Xorothal, : i am on macosx right now
[17:10] <bazhang> kantlivelon1: but the ubuntu works and gentoo is the problem, correct?
[17:11] <kantlivelon1> bazhang: yeah but everything is matching.. xorg version, xorg.conf, udev rules.. kernel config is the only thing i can point to
[17:11] <Mudassar> problem still persists
[17:11] <bazhang> Mudassar: under preferences
[17:11] <cE_SorE> as
[17:11] <Mudassar> then?
[17:11] <meoblast001> how do i change the screen resolution for PS3 Ubuntu without the screen going blue?
[17:11] <cE_SorE> asdasda
[17:12] <Andycasss> chown -R --dereference www-data:www-data wwwroot gives me "-R --dereference requires either -H or -L" Which one should i use?
[17:12] <Mudassar> there is no way to increase the cache size in mozilla
[17:13] <bazhang> Mudassar: you need to restart firefox and clear your history and cache this is not a ubuntu problem
[17:13] <Mudassar> I have done it many times
[17:13] <Xorothal> keiserr:  is the machine which mac os x is installed on the one that gives you errors?
[17:13] <Mudassar> but problem happens
[17:14] <meoblast001> i have a big problem...... the screensize on my PS3 Ubuntu is smaller than the minimum size of synaptic...... i think thats a problem.... could someone help me?
[17:14] <bazhang> Mudassar: again there is a way to increase the cache you need to look for it; also not an ubuntu problem so offtopic here
[17:14] <soundray> Mudassar: then I'd suggest you start with a completely new firefox configuration. Stop firefox and run 'mv ~/.mozilla ~/mozillaconfig-backup'
[17:15] <dkZ> hi
[17:15] <dkZ> err:module:import_dll Library WMVCore.DLL -> how I can install this library for wine ¿?
[17:15] <Condoulo> hey, I have a question, which may not relate to Ubuntu entirely, but just GTK apps in general. Why can't I use alt codes like I can't in Windows? Is there an alternative?
[17:15] <Jabroni5> screen rez bugs happen a lot to me on Parallels/Mac Ubuntu system Meo -- i'm guessing it's not u....
[17:16] <soundray> Condoulo: Shift-Ctrl-U-code
[17:16] <dkZ> err:module:import_dll Library WMVCore.DLL -> how can I install this library for wine?
[17:16] <keiserr> xorothak :p i wasn't registerred yet :p
[17:17] <Condoulo> soundray- would the codes be the same as regular alt codes, or are they different.
[17:17] <bastid_raZor> any lucky person using AWN? if so which repo are you using for it? i have 2 seperate ones to pick from.
[17:17] <bazhang> bastid_raZor: the ppa ones?
[17:17] <soundray> Condoulo: they are Unicode. I don't know whether that is what you're used to or not
[17:17] <soundray> Condoulo: run gucharmap to look up the code for your character
[17:17] <Condoulo> soundray, oh. I'm not sure what alt codes in Windows are.
[17:18] <azexian> anyone else experienced the white box problem on ut2004?
[17:18] <sayers> Is there any sever software for selling web hosting that is OSS?
[17:18] <Condoulo> soundray- I'm not actually in Ubuntu at the moment. I just knew that the question I had related to GTK apps as a whole, so thats why I asked in here.
[17:18] <bastid_raZor> bazhang; are those the ones you are using? i 'thought' those borked the preferecnes of AWN.. the other set i have are tuxfamily.org/syzgy42 .. i am currently using those but now i get 404 error when updating
[17:18] <Scunizi> azexian, nope but you may want to turn off effects to run ut
[17:19] <bastid_raZor> bazhang; i do have the ppa ones but i have them commented out..
[17:19] <bazhang> bastid_raZor: I think the ppa ones are the preferred variety; awn comes in the ubuntu repos starting next release ;]
[17:19] <Immersion> Hello everyone. I am a Mac user making the switch! I was wondering if anyone could assist me with setting up right-click my Macbook?
[17:19] <taranto> Team Speak users?
[17:19] <azexian> Scunizi: no, I think it's just a problem as I changed from 32bit to 64bit without reinstalling, although someone was in here the other day with the same problem, perhaps I might try a patch... how about getting my key out the game, can anyone advice?
[17:19] <taranto> Team Speak users? PVT
[17:19] <esteth> taranto: I use teamspeak on ubuntu
[17:19] <sayers> Immersion, I've seen it work a lot better in the new 8.04 version
[17:19] <bullgard4> soundray: /usr/share/doc/iproute-doc/rtstat.txt headlines: "RTACCT Utility". What does 'RTACCT' stand for? route account?
[17:20] <Immersion> Sayers, I am using the 8.04 version. :)
[17:20] <bazhang> Immersion: by right click you mean with a one-button mouse?
[17:20] <soundray> bullgard4: I haven't got the slightest. Sorry.
[17:20] <bastid_raZor> bazhang; nice.. that makes me want to do a package backup and reinstall.. speaking of being in the repo's of hardy will those override the current packages i have for AWN?
[17:20] <taranto> esteth,  man. you can help me?
[17:20] <azexian> anyone know how I might get my key out of my ut2004 install?
[17:20] <Immersion> bazhang, I mean with my Macbook's trackpad. Trying to set up the 2 finger tap.
[17:20] <bazhang> Immersion: then that would be #ubuntu+1 thanks
[17:20] <bullgard4> soundray: ok. Thank you.
[17:20] <esteth> !ask | taranto
[17:20] <ubotu> taranto: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[17:20] <Ubotwo> taranto: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[17:21] <taranto> aff
[17:21] <bazhang> bastid_raZor: not sure about that; best to remove before you do the Hardy ones if you are going to upgrade to #ubuntu+1 in a couple of weeks
[17:21] <Scunizi> azexian, backup the entire directory and look for a hidden directory  /.ut2004
[17:21] <bazhang> wow double bot attack
[17:22] <Jabroni5> ouch
[17:22] <azexian> Scunizi: do you mean ~/.ut2004 ?
[17:22] <meoblast001> does anyone know how to add new screen resolutions?
[17:22] <Jabroni5> 800x600-16 was recommended as default for my system
[17:22] <Scunizi> azexian, yes.. and any standard visable directories.. you should be able to just copy them back
[17:22] <bazhang> meoblast001: gui or cli?
[17:23] <soundray> meoblast001: you can pick from a list as you go  through the xorg.conf wizard 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
[17:23] <meoblast001> bazhang: Gnome
[17:23] <sfleury> dooglus: thanks for your help, the file copy was working
[17:23] <azexian> Scunizi: ok, just moved my ~/.ut2004 dir, gonna go and test to see if it was just bad cache or something...
[17:23] <bastid_raZor> bazhang; okay.. i do plan on upgrading probably next month after a few more bugs are worked out.. anything else that might need removed before a hardy upgrade? i've pondered doing the !clone option then formatting / and starting over.
[17:23] <meoblast001> soundray: yes but whenever i add more than the defaults..... it causes my VCR's default blue to come up as soon as GDM appears
[17:23] <nownot> when i try to install uvc drivers i get error: 'struct input_dev' nas no member name 'dev', can someone pls help me with this
[17:23] <bazhang> meoblast001: sorry: shiny clicky interface or terminal in Gnome?
[17:24] <esteth> bastid_raZor: drivers installed via envy must be removed before a distribution upgrade
[17:24] <meoblast001> bazhang: shiny clicky interface..... lol GUI...
[17:24] <bazhang> bastid_raZor: not that I know of; but I am not the expert and we should talk about this in #ubuntu+1 ;]
[17:24] <bastid_raZor> esteth; envy.. you have got to be kidding.. who would touch envy or automatix.. bleh
[17:25] <esteth> bastid_raZor: I had to before the 8800 series drivers were around, unfortunately. But just as a warning in case
[17:25] <meoblast001> how do you reconfigure xorg?
[17:25] <sfleury> dooglus: Now, i try to exlude a directory looping with a 'for a in *'
[17:25] <soundray> meoblast001: I just told you
[17:25] <nownot> when i try to install uvc drivers i get error: 'struct input_dev' nas no member name 'dev', can someone pls help me with this
[17:25] <esteth> meoblast001: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

[17:26] <sivel_> hello all
[17:26] <soundray> meoblast001: if the standard resolutions aren't suitable, then you have to generate a modeline. That can be tricky

[17:30] <bazhang> dosnubbie: what does sudo dhclient eth0 return?
[17:30] <dooglus> sfleury: hi
[17:30] <chuckf> chloetwo, as soon as the producer of the game makes a port to Linux
[17:30] <soundray> sivel_: have you tried something like     echo '-q -l 100' | sudo tee /etc/default/powernowd    then restarting powernowd?
[17:30] <chuckf> Or the Wine team gets it working
[17:30] <soundray> sivel_: oops, correction:

[17:31] <lusius> i have a problem with connecting my azureus, it says i have a nat problem, and im behind some kind of wicked router
[17:31] <soundray> sivel_: have you tried something like     echo OPTIONS='-q -l 100' | sudo tee /etc/default/powernowd    then restarting powernowd?
[17:31] <sivel_> no, i will try that now
[17:31] <bazhang> lusius: can you adjust the router?
[17:31] <proOve> I need help with my touchpad on my laptop! I cant tap-click..
[17:31] <dooglus> lusius: there's #azureus where they answer that question hundreds of times a day.  they love it.

[17:31] <bod_> lusius, firewall? correct ports open?
[17:31] <sfleury> dooglus: I want to loop on subdirectories of /home/vmail/user1 but exclude INBOX from my loop

[17:32] <Nps> Hiyas all. My partner has just installed Kubuntu on her PC. It worked fine for a few days then when booting would just stop and load Busybox. We dont see any error messages and without booting in recovery mode cant boot Kubuntu at all. Could anyone offer any advice? :)

[17:32] <sivel_> yes its at 100 percent usage, but stuck at 50 perc power
[17:32] <bod_> lusius, not my forte im afraid, but i believe there is a command that can tell you,. ask the channel or do wot bazhang  says ;~)

[17:35] <azexian> Scunizi: that didn't fix it I'm afraid, it's when I fire things, I just get this white box instead (this is ut2004 for anyone else) not quite sure about what to do..
[17:35] <dosnubbie> bazhang: The network is fine and known good.
[17:35] <Andycasss> chown -R --dereference www-data:www-data wwwroot gives me "-R --dereference requires either -H or -L" Which one should i use?
[17:35] <lusius> bazhang, how?
[17:36] <sfleury> dooglus: yep thanks ;)
[17:36] <soundray> sivel_: working?
[17:36] <bazhang> lusius: sudo apt-get install transmission
[17:36] <Scunizi> azexian, there is a ut irc channel but I've forgotten what it is.
[17:36] <dosnubbie> bazhang: The network adapter works in XP and the LiveCD for Ubuntu
[17:36] <sivel_> how can i tell from ssh? if it works?
[17:36] <Phoenix83> hi
[17:36] <lusius> bazhang, okay Å^^ tnx
[17:36] <azexian> Scunizi: I did try and find one, I tried #ut2004 #ut2k4 #ut and none of them had anyone in it
[17:36] <bazhang> dosnubbie: you tried the livecd when
[17:36] <dooglus> Andycasss: "man chown" should help clear that up
[17:37] <Scunizi> azexian, have you looked on www.ubuntuforums.org
[17:37] <azexian> Scunizi: /me looks embarased
[17:37] <soundray> sivel_: your CPU frequency should be at 100% if the intervention has worked

[17:37] <dooglus> other than ubuntu-desktop and its dependencies, what does the ubuntu installer install?  can I find a list somewhere?
[17:37] <dosnubbie> bazhang: when you told me to do the dhclient I was in the liveCD...I had to reboot

[17:38] <cached> it's vpn i'm trying to figure out what to write for ipsec id and ipsec secret
[17:38] <cached> i have a username and password
[17:38] <bazhang> dosnubbie: it worked then in the livecd? the sudo dhclient eth0?
[17:38] <Phoenix83> anyone got a clue on how to get nvidia drivers on the live 7.10 cd?
[17:39] <dosnubbie> bazhang: The network card worked in LiveCD. It link'd and all(lights blinked). On the install I've been using for months though...
[17:39] <bazhang> Phoenix83: you want to remaster the livecd? why not just use the alternate cd which let you install them at the end
[17:39] <soundray> sivel_: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep MHz
[17:39] <dosnubbie> bazhang: The network card's lights don't even turn on
[17:39] <Phoenix83> bazhang, I can't even boot the live version
[17:40] <bazhang> dosnubbie: apart from the blinky lights, did the connection work? like going to yahoo, google etc
[17:40] <Phoenix83> seems strange though, why make a live cd which doesn't include the n1 or 2 main vcard distri's?
[17:40] <soundray> Phoenix83: tried Safe Graphics mode?
[17:40] <sivel_> nope, still at half. i also have cpufreqd installed
[17:40] <soundray> Phoenix83: ever heard of non-free software?
[17:40] <dosnubbie> bazhang: yes everything worked.
[17:40] <heppie> schaut euch DAS mal an: http://sexy-lena.com/?uid=331228
[17:40] <bazhang> Phoenix83: thus my suggestion of the alt cd; it works when the livecd chokes
[17:40] <Phoenix83> soundray, duh
[17:40] <ulo> can I change the calendar applet (top-right) use my google calendar instead of evolution?

[17:41] <bazhang> tag teaming rather
[17:41] <blinded_> touchpad problem. My problem is beyond the xorg.conf it seems. Everything works ok BUT not the tapping. I can sidescroll and so on. I tried to revert to the old config but tap-click wont work anymore! Strangely it does work in the login screen but not after Ive logged in ..
[17:41] <bazhang> Phoenix83: aye
[17:41] <Seveas> bazhang, hmm.... yeah... I might need coffee
[17:41] <bazhang> Seveas: haha could be
[17:41] <Seveas> got any? :)
[17:41] <Phoenix83> bazhang, is that alt cd still newb material, caus this is like my first install
[17:41] <Laurenceb_> ok, I've installed java
[17:41] <Laurenceb_> but no applets working in firefox
[17:41] <Laurenceb_> any ideas?
[17:42] <ulo> blinded_: did you look in System | Preferences | Mouse -> Touchpad?  There is a checkbox there for tap clicking
[17:42] <Seveas> Laurenceb_, what exactly did you install?
[17:42]  * soundray pours Seveas a strong steaming brew
[17:42] <Laurenceb_> sun-java6-jre
[17:42] <soundray> Seveas: Sun Java on amd64
[17:42] <Laurenceb_> using package manager
[17:42] <blinded_> ulo: it is checked but does not change anything
[17:42] <ulo> ok
[17:42] <bazhang> Phoenix83: it is an installer only cd that uses text; you have to tab and enter to get through it--quite easy realy just no livecd environment
[17:42] <Seveas> Laurenceb_, you need sun-java6-plugin as well, if I'm not mistaken
[17:42] <style23> I'm running the intel driver on my intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03), but glxinfo returns the following error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61886/plain/

[17:44] <DeathKiNG242> Oops
[17:44] <bazhang> Phoenix83: there will be an option to get the drivers at the end; though you can boot in safe mode and then do it that way as well; lets get you up and running with ubuntu first then worry about that later ;]
[17:44] <blinded_> It seems that my tap-problem i connected to my user. Maybe I should create a new user .. but I want to fix this!

[17:45] <bazhang> Phoenix83: not really and please watch the language

[17:45] <Laurenceb_> any ideas?
[17:45] <Phoenix83> just because I use the word "hell" in a phrase?
[17:45] <Laurenceb_> sun-java6-plugin even

[17:45] <marx2k> bazhang: any app

[17:45] <Survivorman> Laurenceb_, sun-java6-plugin
[17:45] <Jezz> how do i set up a VPN with Ubuntu?
[17:45] <bazhang> aye Phoenix83 not welcome here
[17:45] <Seveas> DirtyMonkey, plesk isn't in ubuntu and it's non-free. Ask the makers for support
[17:46] <Laurenceb_> its not there
[17:46] <Phoenix83> guess youguys got long toes ;-)
[17:46] <soundray> Phoenix83: just stick to the etiquette in this channel please
[17:46] <Laurenceb_> thats what I tried
[17:46] <hewhocutsdown> Have a question regarding the Drobo device from Data Robotics. It's a RAID device of sorts that connects via USB and acts as a single hard drive.
[17:46] <bazhang> marx2k: give me an example then ;]
[17:46] <DirtyMonkey> sorry
[17:46] <Scunizi> Phoenix83, you have everyone on here from 10yr olds up.. family language please
[17:46] <Mr_Sonoma> No joy on the printer issue =( Prints sent from vista machine to the printer seem to stall in CUPS. they show in the jobs screen and stop there....
[17:46] <Phoenix83> wow, chill, I will ;-)
[17:46] <hewhocutsdown> Have posed the question in the Ubuntu Forums already, but there is nothing there applicable to my situation, no response to my thread
[17:46] <DirtyMonkey> trying to install it on ubuntu and i cant afford their support
[17:46] <DeathKiNG242> Can somebody answer my question..
[17:46] <marx2k> bazhang: i have KLibido and Nicotine running. Neither throttle their own upload speeds. I would like a program that can throttle the upload speeds of those apps (or any app)
[17:46] <Seveas> DirtyMonkey, then find something else. We do not support it.
[17:46] <Survivorman> Laurenceb_, you may need to enable repositories in system -> administration -> software sources
[17:46] <Phoenix83> anywayz, thanks for the info
[17:47] <Phoenix83> cheers
[17:47] <Laurenceb_> "Package sun-java6-plugin is not available, but is referred to by another package"
[17:47] <Seveas> marx2k, trickle
[17:47] <hewhocutsdown> The device loads automatically, mounts to /media/Jrobo under gutsy. On upgrade to Hardy Heron using the upgrade manager, the device no longer loads or mounts
[17:47] <marx2k> Seveas: thanks
[17:47] <DirtyMonkey> alright I apologise thanks anyhow
[17:47] <bazhang> marx2k: not sure what those are but I can guess; some like transmission can do it fine
[17:47] <hewhocutsdown> My other USB hard drive (a mere 80GB, powered by USB) loads up fine, shows as an 80GB volume.
[17:48] <hewhocutsdown> What kinds of things should I be looking at in this situation?
[17:48] <bazhang> #ubuntu+1 please hewhocutsdown
[17:48] <hewhocutsdown> different channel is that?
[17:48] <Seveas> hewhocutsdown, the output of dmesg and lsusb --- and #ubuntu+1 indeed

[17:48] <Stevi1> Hi, I wondered if anyone would be able to help me, I have trawled the web in search of an answer to my really slow wireless speeds (not IP6 as I have changed these settings) My wired downloads at 700Kbps, my wireless prior to Ubuntu was at least 400-500Kbps but since the Ubuntu install today it is now max at 70Kbps, any ideas? I am currently at a loss. Nothing has changed apart from XP to Ubuntu.
[17:48] <Laurenceb_> yes, both
[17:48] <hewhocutsdown> gotcha, thank you
[17:48] <omar> Guys how can I change my IP address?
[17:48] <hewhocutsdown> my apologies
[17:49] <sivel_> got it fixd, cool and quiet tech was enabled in my bios, thanks
[17:50] <sailaway85> I'm totally knocked off my feet with Ubuntu. Its like I've entered a world. Better GNU, better graphics, faster faster faster.... wow... Catch 22  I have to actually learn something instead of buying or patching Billy crocksystem.
[17:50] <Laurenceb_> sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin gives Package sun-java6-plugin is not available, but is referred to by another package

[17:51] <Iolaus> Hey all, I'm attempting to install Ubuntu 8.04 and the installation hangs (or at least I stop getting any display) unless I use safe graphics mode.  My video is Intel 965.  Does anyone have a suggestion or at least a way to show the commands being executed during install (instead of the progress graphic) to see if I can maybe catch the problem?
[17:51] <omar> Guys how can I change my IP address?
[17:51] <marx2k> Hm, trickle seems to be a command-line speed throttling app that launches programs as a wrapper. Does anyone know of an app that will throttle already-running apps? Possibly with an ncurses-based display?
[17:51] <Seveas> !repeat | omar
[17:51] <ubotu> omar: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[17:51] <marx2k> !throttle
[17:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about throttle - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[17:51] <Survivorman> Laurenceb_, keep watch during the installation, after downloading, you'll have to accept the TOS for java at some point and hit ok at a blue screen
[17:52] <Seveas> omar, klick on the networkmanager applet, then on manual config
[17:52] <Laurenceb_> sure, done so
[17:52] <Aeroraptor> What's a good virtualization application for ubuntu? virtualbox and qemu are getting old...

[17:52] <Jezz> thanks, but gaming vpn
[17:52] <Survivorman> Laurenceb_, I'm hoping the plugin gets installed there.
[17:52] <marx2k> Aeroraptor: getting old?
[17:52] <Jezz> is that diffirent than a normal VPN?
[17:52] <iositd> marx2k, look at wondershaper. It can shape traffic as a whole
[17:52] <Jezz> lol guess not
[17:52] <soundray> Jezz: no
[17:52] <Jezz> ok good :)
[17:52] <Aeroraptor> marx2k- eh, well, qemu is a pain and virtualbox is iffy
[17:53] <Seveas> Aeroraptor, vmware is decent though ubuntu is focusing on KVM with virt-manager
[17:53] <omar> Seveas: And then?
[17:53] <soundray> Aeroraptor: try vmware if you don't mind hoarderware
[17:53] <loser> brb im switching to xchat instead o pidgin
[17:53] <levander> Anybody know how to get rid of that orange background color that pops up for just a second whenever you log into or out of Ubuntu?

[17:53] <levander> odder: Your a big help.
[17:53] <Aeroraptor> virt-manager? is that apt-getable?
[17:54] <marx2k> Aeroraptor: VBox works fine for me. But you can always go with VMWare

[17:54] <Survivorman> you can change that in the settings for login or maybe during change background... there are options to change default colors there.

[17:57] <Laurenceb_> groo
[17:58] <Laurenceb_> doesnt sound easy
[17:58] <soundray> Laurenceb_: alternatively, install the 32bit firefox

[17:58] <ubotu> Laurenceb_: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava
[17:58] <gligorhoria_> how can u bind 2 keys in 1 in emacs?
[17:58] <Laurenceb_> ok
[17:58] <keiserr> hi, is there any tutorial about network booting an ubuntu install?
[17:58] <Laurenceb_> I have flash working
[17:59] <Survivorman> Laurenceb_, is the java plugin in your firefox plugin folder?
[17:59] <levander> I need a program that will tell me what color something is on a specific pixel on the screen.  I know Ubuntu's got one.  Anyone remember the name?
[17:59] <Survivorman> I always have to manually link mine
[17:59] <Laurenceb_> where is that folder?
[17:59] <keiserr> i.e install feftches install files from an smb share somewhere?
[17:59] <Survivorman> /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
[18:00] <Laurenceb_> so what should I do?
[18:00] <Byan> I am going to reinstall ubuntu this weekend.. is there a way to perserve the package list I currently have?
[18:00] <Byan> maybe I'd rather just start from scratch
[18:00] <Survivorman> Laurenceb_, in terminal, cd /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
[18:00] <soundray> Laurenceb_: I think the 32bit firefox method (see ubotu link) is the most straightforward one
[18:00] <Survivorman> Laurenceb_, then ls
[18:00] <Laurenceb_> I'll try Survivormans method first
[18:00] <Xorothal> who was it who had the problem with ubuntu server edition and I was suggesting smbmount? (I had a kernel panic and forgot your name)
[18:01] <Survivorman> soundray, he installed 32bit and it's still not working
[18:01] <bazhang> Xorothal: that was keiserr
[18:01] <RoAkSoAx> join #ubuntu-irc
[18:01] <Xorothal> that's it
[18:01] <soundray> Survivorman: oh, missed that bit, sorry Laurenceb_
[18:01] <Laurenceb_> ok, I'm in there
[18:01] <Xorothal> thx
[18:01] <Byan> anyway
[18:01] <Laurenceb_> oh hang on
[18:01] <lusius_> suggestion of a good game for linux ? :) im gonna go gamer tonight
[18:01] <lusius_> ^^
[18:01] <Laurenceb_> I have 32 bit and 64 bit firefox
[18:01] <Laurenceb_> :P
[18:01] <Survivorman> soundray, I think he has a problem I sometimes have with the plugin not showing up
[18:02] <Laurenceb_> I'm in the folder of r64bit firefox atm
[18:02] <bazhang> lusius_: frozen bubble but offtopic here
[18:02] <Svenstaro> lusius, what type of game?
[18:02] <lusius_> bazhang, genre?
[18:02] <Laurenceb_> should I swap to the 32 bit firefox folder?
[18:02] <soundray> !games | lusius_
[18:02] <ubotu> lusius_: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php

[18:03] <Svenstaro> lusius_ you totally have to play nexuiz and alien arena
[18:03] <tobmaif> botbanner
[18:03] <soundray> Survivorman: I want to log off soon. Will you continue with Laurenceb_?
[18:04] <lusius> Svenstaro, nezuiz was okay. but since im a gamer in quakeworld, (/nQuake), i want something to ease of the stress
[18:04] <Svenstaro> lusius, tried scorched 3d?
[18:05] <lusius> Svenstaro, nope?
[18:05] <Svenstaro> lusius, then go ahead, it will ease your stress :)

[18:05] <lusius> Svenstaro, ^^ okay
[18:05] <pff> can someone help me to fix my grub settings? so i can boot both xp and ubuntu?:S
[18:06] <bazhang> !grub| pff
[18:06] <ubotu> pff: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[18:06] <helen_> halen_hashemzadeh

[18:06] <bazhang> english please helen_
[18:06] <Adys> which application handles the drawing of menus in gnome?
[18:07] <Adys> (not the main menu, just the application menus)
[18:07] <Svenstaro> Adys, you mean metacity or gtk?
[18:07] <Adys> gtk probably then
[18:07] <Adys> metacity only does borders afaik
[18:07] <Svenstaro> Adys, metacity is your window manager, so yeah, visually it only does borders
[18:08] <Adys> using compiz as WM atm
[18:08] <Adys> the menus have been broken in latest HH update and trying to find out which is responsible :)
 suggestion of a good game for linux ? :) im gonna go gamer tonight   --- try gnometris, legions of linux gamers already satisfaed by its rich graphics and unique gameplay
[18:08] <tyler_d> anyone vpn savy?

[18:09] <chloetwo> i'd say gears of war - 8/10 and gnometris 9/10
[18:09] <ib> Where is my modules.conf file? I need to add some alsa modules.
[18:11] <bhsx> does anyone know if you need to install a SMP kernel or anything for core 2 duo support?  is there anything i need to do to be sure i'm using both cores?  (i'm not new to linux, but to dual core:)
[18:11] <ib> Where can I find the modules.conf file?
[18:12] <bazhang> bhsx: which are you using now?
[18:12] <fantum13> bhsx: I'm pretty sure the kernel is SMP by default, but to check, use uname -a
[18:13] <bhsx> i'm on hardy, but i'm sure they wouldn't have changed that
[18:13] <bhsx> yeah, it's SMP
[18:13] <hischild> will i be able to install a CLI box only from the desktop cd?
[18:13] <bazhang> bhsx: you need generic and #ubuntu+1  thanks
[18:14] <bhsx> bazhang: i'm in ubuntu+1, but noone seems to know an answer, so i checked here   thanks
[18:14] <bazhang> hischild: why not get the minimal iso install (only 9MB) and try that
[18:14] <bazhang> bhsx: that is the right channel for hardy not here; generic is what you want though
[18:14] <tobmaif> botbanner
[18:14] <bazhang> tobmaif: please stop
[18:15] <tobmaif> bazhang: Not understood: please stop
[18:15] <Jabroni5> SMP it is then, ty biz
[18:15] <christophoros> bazhang? any idea how i can use my bluetooth on my pc? which program shall i use?

[18:16] <christophoros> ty again;p
[18:16] <hischild> ok so ... will i be able to install a CLI system only from a desktop cd?
[18:17] <bazhang> hischild no idea; likely not the minimal install is cli only though--you add what you want including gnome or whatever ;]
[18:17] <hischild> bazhang: that's what i'm looking for. I just can't find the minimal cd
[18:17] <bazhang> hischild: just a sec
[18:17] <hischild> bazhang: i should add that due to a headache i'm most likely just missing it
[18:18] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD hischild
[18:18] <hischild> bazhang: you're my savior as usual
[18:18] <bazhang> hischild: haha no worries ;]

[18:20] <kbrooks> Why might Ubuntu not be able to detect my laptop battery?
[18:20] <hischild> kbrooks: define "not be able to detect"
[18:20] <hischild> kbrooks: what does acpi give you?
[18:20] <CoasterMaster> Is there a good personal CVS program for Ubuntu?
[18:21] <bokey> !svn | CoasterMaster
[18:21] <ubotu> CoasterMaster: svn is Subversion: an open-source revision control system, which aims to be a compelling replacement for CVS. See http://subversion.tigris.org/
[18:21] <tylerflick> what's CVS?
[18:21] <bazhang> CoasterMaster: cvs? is that like svn?
[18:21] <bokey> !git | CoasterMaster
[18:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about git - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[18:21] <bokey> :s
[18:21] <kbrooks> The GUI shows, on the top panel, the usual "plug" icon, not the battery icon. Running that tellls me "Battery 1: charging, 7%"
[18:21] <kbrooks> hischild, ^
[18:21] <Ashfire908> what's the difference in k3b between "Normal Copy" and "Clone Copy"?
[18:21] <bazhang> no git? ubotu...
[18:21] <bokey> CoasterMaster: you can use a lot of them.. cvs, svn, git loads..
[18:22] <christophoros> bazhang any help about file sharing throught bluetooth ?
[18:22] <bokey> bazhang: yeah.. heh
[18:22] <hischild> kbrooks: that's because you have plugged your power cord in.
[18:22] <bazhang> ;]
[18:22] <bokey> !info git

[18:22] <bokey> bazhang: there ya go
[18:22] <aubade> Is it possible to always have Metacity show window geometry instead of nonpixel or is gnome-terminal actually doing that and Metacity is hopeless in that sense? ;\
[18:22] <hischild> kbrooks: or can you be more specific?
[18:22] <bazhang> info works again! yay thanks bokey
[18:22] <bokey> bazhang: =)
[18:23] <bokey> aubade: i think it's the terminal doing that.. not sure though
[18:24] <kbrooks> hischild, usually, the battery icon is shown ... ummm, with a smaller version of the plug superimposed if i plug it in, also the preferences only have one tab, AC power
[18:24] <style23> I'm running the intel driver on my intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03), but glxinfo returns the following error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61886/plain/

[18:25] <kbrooks> ToddEDM, yes...
[18:25] <ToddEDM> ok
[18:25] <kbrooks> ToddEDM, the command is given for you to connect to yourself

[18:25] <kbrooks> chuckf, it's unnecessary
[18:25] <chuckf> so you will have to connect via the ip adress
[18:26] <Ashfire908> ToddEDM, find the ip of the computer you want to connect to and replace the hostname.local with the ip.
[18:26] <kbrooks> ToddEDM, you need to find the ip address - right click on the 2 tiny computers in the top panel and select ummm
[18:26] <christophoros> bazhang when i go to System → Preferences → Appearance → Desktop Effects  i cant change them

[18:27] <ToddEDM> i can just access my router, yes?
[18:27] <bazhang> christophoros: then you need to install the 3d drivers for your card; which card is it
[18:27] <Triona> Good afternoon. Trying to figure out how to hot plug an IDE device, haven't had to do so in quite some time, and the last time I did it was pre-udev.
[18:27] <christophoros> it says "desktop effects could not be enabled"
[18:27] <ToddEDM> the IP  that i need is the one the router assignes?
[18:27] <Ashfire908> ToddEDM, run the command "ifconfig". the interface eth0 should have the right ip.
[18:27] <christophoros> it was enabled like 3 hours ago then i restarted and it does not work
[18:27] <iositd> Triona, does your mobo support hotplugging?
[18:28] <Triona> Iositd: yes.
[18:28] <ToddEDM> ipconfig.. on the kids PC?
[18:28] <kbrooks> ToddEDM, open up a terminal, type ifconfig, your IP is in "inet addr: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
[18:28] <ToddEDM> duh... nm dont answer that
[18:28] <bazhang> christophoros: which card what drivers and how installed
[18:28] <kbrooks> ToddEDM, ifconfig
[18:28] <ToddEDM> if
[18:28] <ToddEDM> ok
[18:28] <christophoros> how i see if they are instaled?
[18:28] <ToddEDM> hold on im gonna head downstairs to the basement
[18:28] <Triona> the last time I did it, I was able to use hdparm to rescan the bus, but it doesn't want to do so without any device nodes there.

[18:35] <b0ha> hello i have some problems with my laptop. When i close lid down it freezes
[18:35] <chuckf> is there a reason you're not going for 7.10?

[18:37] <Frogger626> that I am so confused over
[18:37] <chuckf> if you have a blank cd
[18:37] <b0ha> nickrud, suspend, hibernate works, but still a lot times freeze
[18:37] <Goodgame> chuckf, I don't wanna laste a blank cd
[18:37] <nickrud> b0ha you mean suspend freezes often?
[18:37] <christophoros> bazhang ty alot
[18:37] <jaffarkelshac> the only think i witch to windows for now is veoh, is there no work around
[18:38] <Goodgame> epecially because it's not for me, and 8.04 is going out in 3 weeks
[18:38] <b0ha> nickrud, suspend and also closing the lid
[18:38] <Frogger626> If someone would PM me, that would be simply wonderful
[18:38] <Frogger626> Windows won't start

[18:38] <christophoros> guys anyone care to tell me how i check for restricted drivers?
[18:38] <nickrud> b0ha I don't have any real fixes for suspend, it really depends on your hardware and isn't complete for all types. You can disable the suspend action on lid close with system->prefs->screensaver , power management button
[18:38] <Aoshi_1> guys
[18:39] <Frogger626> C:, the drive with windows, is intact. Filesystem, WINDOWS, everything.
[18:39] <Aoshi_1> whats betther? installing ubuntu 7.0.4 or installing ubuntu 8beta
[18:39] <Aoshi_1> ?
[18:39] <steven> Is there an "apt-get" command I can use to update Xorg from 6.10 to 7.10.... My laptop screen works fine with Ubuntu 7.10, but I get "No screens found" with Ubuntu 6.10.
[18:39] <iositd> Frogger626, try to make it on a single long line, and your problem at the start please :-)
[18:39] <chuckf> Aoshi_1, are you needing a stable system?
[18:39] <nickrud> steven you would have to upgrade the whoe system, going to 7.04 then to 7.10
[18:40] <nickrud> *whole
[18:40] <nickrud> christophoros which one?
[18:40] <ib> I need to run a long command to get mplayer to work, is there any way I can assign it to a script so that when I right click the file I want to play, "open with mplayerscript" will be an option?
[18:40] <bokey> steven, can u use command line?
[18:40] <Aoshi_1> yes chuckf, I need a stable desktop system for my sister but a system who can be upgraded easy to the 8 stable
[18:40] <christophoros> nickrud for grafic card
[18:40] <steven> nickrud, so I cannot just update the Video portion of the O/S... i NEED to use Ubuntu 6.10
[18:40] <jcp> where could i find information about compiling my own custom kernel with ubuntu
[18:40] <steven> bokey, Yes I am at the command line now
[18:40] <arquebus> I have a nvidia 8800gtx and ubuntu live wont start, anyone know why?
[18:40] <Aoshi_1> whast easyer upgradint the 8beta to the 8 stable or upgrading 7.0.4 to the 8 stable?
[18:40] <bokey> steven, ok.. good $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg;
[18:40] <nickrud> steven no, X is too tightly tied to each release. Why do you need 6.10?
[18:40] <jaffarkelshac> the only think i witch to windows for now is veoh, is there no work around
[18:40] <b4l74z4r> what's the command for locating a given file with the terminal?
[18:41] <bokey> steven, follow the prompt.. pretty self-explanatory
[18:41] <Frogger626> OK, sorry. Like I said, Windows won't start, C: (which has WINDOWS on it) is intact, and whenever I go to turn on w/o the Ubuntu disk in, it tries to load GRUB and fails with "Error 21"
[18:41] <chuckf> the beta will update as things go along
[18:41] <Jabroni5> arq, try installing 7.04
[18:41] <iositd> b4l74z4r, you already said it: locate.
[18:41] <comicinker> ib: use nautilus script extension
[18:41] <nickrud> christophoros which video card?    lspci | grep -i vga    in a terminal will tell you exactly
[18:41] <chuckf> I've been running it here on two machines and have been happy

[18:41] <b4l74z4r> iositd, i used "locate wine.cfg" and it didn't return anything even though i know i have the file somewhere

[18:42] <arquebus> Jabroni, I downloaded it a month or two ago, is that 7.04?
[18:42] <iositd> b4l74z4r, try sudo updatedb first then
[18:42] <bokey> steven, open /etc/X11/xorg.conf in your editor with root priviledge
[18:42] <b4l74z4r> ok
[18:42] <nickrud> christophoros that chip doesn't have a restricted driver, the one that comes native with ubuntu is the best available
[18:42] <steven> bokey, there, now what?
[18:42] <christophoros> nickrud so why i cant enable the visual effects?
[18:42] <Jabroni5> i can get a link arq, but 7.04 solved my gui glitch install problems, then updated to 7.1
[18:42] <bokey> steven, go to the line where it says 'Screen ....'
[18:42] <Frogger626> Obotu, that's not the problem. I tried to install Ubuntu on a thumb drive. It didn't work (maybe) and when I try to boot off the HD (thumb drive, CD out) it STILL tries to load GRUB! How do I fix that?
[18:43] <steven> bokey, "Default Screen", "Intel Corporation Intel Default Card", "Generic Monitor", "24"
[18:43] <Aoshi_1> chuckf what do you think?
[18:43] <iositd> Frogger626, i made ubotu issue that line. It does however, hold the answer to your problem.
[18:43] <tobmaif> botbanner
[18:43] <nickrud> christophoros because it has a bug, and is blacklisted. See http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/Hardware/Blacklist for the reason, and a way to override the blacklisting
[18:43] <arquebus> Jabroni, oh I see, dl the older one, ok thx for your help
[18:43] <foug> Any Opera users here?
[18:43] <steven> bokey, I have 6 SubSection "Display"
[18:44] <Frogger626> I didn't see a way to remove GRUB from the MBR... Didn't look hard enough, iositd?
[18:44] <chuckf> Aoshi_1, personally at this point I would go for the beta
[18:44] <Jabroni5> ya, that's all i was saying...gl arq
[18:44] <bokey> steven, that's good
[18:44] <kciuq> I use a soundblaster X-Fi card, and i cant find any decent drivers for it, anyone know where i might find one?
[18:44] <bokey> steven, was going to ask you that =)
[18:44] <Aoshi_1> chuckf why?
[18:44] <steven> bokey, range in depths: 1,4,8,15,16,24
[18:44] <timo> any know if ubuntu can mute like vista (mute each application independently)
[18:44] <nickrud> timo not yet
[18:45] <chuckf> Aoshi_1, because it is pretty much ready and I would be surprised if there's any major issue at this point
[18:45] <maek> timo that functionality is going to be in Hardy Heron
[18:45] <ib> comicinker: How do I access the nautilus script extension menu?
[18:45] <foug> Any Opera users here?
[18:45] <bokey> steven, and 'modes'?
[18:45] <Jabroni5> what is "mute" feature?
[18:45] <iositd> Frogger626, just removing grub? that means a reinstall of the MBR from windows. Boot from a windows xp cd, go into recovery terminal and issue fixmbr. Then reboot and you're done.
[18:45] <steven> bokey, they all have the same modes: 1280x800, 1024x768, 800x600, 640x480......... I don't think any of those are WideScreen tho?
[18:45] <iositd> steven, 1280x800 is widescreen
[18:45] <freewilly> yes xfi, oss4 segfaults..
[18:45] <comicinker> Frogger626: you want to remove remove grub?  try the fixmbr command on the windows start cd
[18:45] <Jabroni5> 16:9 is wide
[18:45] <bokey> steven, i use widescreen.. that's fine :)
[18:45] <chuckf> Aoshi_1, how close physically are you and your sister?
[18:45] <nickrud> ib you need to drop a script in ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts , then it'll show up in the context menu.
[18:45] <Leva> ðÒÉ×ÅÔ ×ÓÅÍ!!!
[18:45] <Frogger626> iositd: It is possible to dual-boot w/out the XP CD?
[18:45] <maek> foug Flash doesn't work in Opera so Opera is useless
[18:46] <iositd> Frogger626, yes, if you create a /boot on your main HDD
[18:46] <chuckf> Aoshi_1, if something happened to the machine, would she be down for long without you around?
[18:46] <steven> bokey, hmm.... That's I wanted to just update the video portion of this OS.. because I was running Ubuntu 7.10 prior and it was perfect
[18:46] <Frogger626> 'Cuz the dude who made this POS gave me an illegal copy
[18:46] <nickrud> maek didn't opera release a beta that does work?
[18:46] <foug> maek: well, i got it working in an earlier version of Opera. All I did was copy libflashplayer.so to the plugins folder, but that doesn't work anymore
[18:46] <steven> bokey, because of dependencies at my current job I need to run Ubuntu 6.10
[18:46] <bokey> steven, sounds like driver issue
[18:46] <iositd> Frogger626, it doesn't matter what version it is. You can boot of them and fix your MBR with it just fine.
[18:46] <christophoros> nickrud how i can use this command in terminal? "SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz-manager"
[18:46] <comicinker> ib: did you restart nautilus
[18:46] <comicinker> ?
[18:46] <bokey> steven,are you selecting the right driver dude?
[18:46] <ib> comicinker: Thanks
[18:46] <nickrud> christophoros  type it directly in the terminal, without the   "  .
[18:46] <muhaha007> hi folks, does anybody know, where the pythoncard samples launcher is located in ubuntu 7.10 ? (python 2.5)
[18:47] <maek> not sure nickrud
[18:47] <steven> bokey, do you think if I install Ubuntu 7.10 again, copy this X file, reinstall 6.10 and then overwrite it, it will work?
[18:47] <comicinker> ib: don't forget to chmod +x your skript?
[18:47] <timo> maek: i feel blesst
[18:47] <Jabroni5> in 7.10, muhahah, just go to synaptic manager, in system menu
[18:48] <bokey> steven, well you don't have to reinstall 6.10.. this isn't major issue imho.. what card do you use?
[18:48] <Monobi2> Is 5 GB enough space for an ubuntu installation ?
[18:48] <Jabroni5> system:adminstration:synaptic package manager
[18:48] <timo> maek:whens it commin out
[18:48] <kqrl> i am right now on a kubuntu livecd, and mount complains about mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member', i know that has something to do with my fedora, but i really need to mount, so how? :P
[18:48] <bokey> steven, video card i.e.
[18:48] <maek> !hardy | timo
[18:48] <ubotu> timo: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu
[18:48] <nickrud> Monobi2 for a toy test one, yes. You won't be able to save much, or install a lot, but it will function fine
[18:48] <Monobi2> nickrud: gah, ok.
[18:48] <steven> bokey, the video card is just an Integrated Graphics Card
[18:48] <garotosopa> How can I tell if a package has been installed manually or automatically as a dependency?
[18:48] <timo> thank you
[18:49] <christophoros> nickrud i done what the page says but it doesnt seem i can enable my grafics now:/
[18:49] <timo> #join #ubuntu+1
[18:49] <daroou> hello, how do you prevent the ubuntu (hardy heron) installer from installing grub to the mbr? I would like the boot record to be installed only on sdb not sda
[18:49] <nickrud> Monobi2 if you can give it 15gb, you'll be in a very usable config
[18:49] <steven> bokey, I have to look up this serial number to see the exact thing.... its nothing special
[18:49] <bokey> steven, so it's intel board with onboard graphics i'd assume?
[18:49] <steven> bokey, yes
[18:49] <Jabroni5> visit hardy heron #ubuntu+1 channel daroou
[18:49] <nickrud> christophoros if that command worked, you'd have the effects running immediately. I've seen some 965's work, and others not. Don't know why.
[18:49] <IndyGunFreak> steven: no sound?
[18:49] <steven> bokey, I am re-trying the dkpg-reconfigure xserver-xorg now.... the default X server driver chosen is: "i810"
[18:50] <bokey> steven, right... you are using i810 driver i think..
[18:50] <daroou> Jabroni5, ok
[18:50] <IndyGunFreak> oh nevermind
[18:50] <bokey> steven, that won't work :)
[18:50] <weeman13221> hey folks im having a bit of a problem with security anywhere i can go or anyone who can help me with this
[18:50] <christophoros> nickrud so i cant use any effects now ?
[18:50] <steven> IndyGunFreak, No sound either, lol, but I don't need it
[18:50] <fantum13> weeman13221: What sort of security?
[18:50] <IndyGunFreak> steven: lol, the intelHDA devices, some are a pain
[18:50] <owen1> how to check if i have a package from the terminal?
[18:50] <IndyGunFreak> nickrud: the voice of experience w/ intel motherobards..lol
[18:50] <tobmaif> botbanner
[18:50] <steven> bokey, Then what do I pick? lol
[18:51] <nickrud> christophoros maybe when hardy comes out, you should ask for info about it in #ubuntu+1 (only a couple weeks away)
[18:51] <bokey> steven, what comes up when you do lspci?
[18:51] <bokey> !paste | steven
[18:51] <ubotu> steven: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic)
[18:51] <nickrud> christophoros I meant ask for info in #ubuntu+1 now, that is. That sentence didn't quite say that :)
[18:51] <steven> IndyGunFreak, its all good.. just using for Work... I have 7.10 on my T60P, running great !
[18:51] <christophoros> nickrud when i do that command i get some error too
[18:51] <kqrl> i am right now on a kubuntu livecd, and mount complains about mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member', i know that has something to do with my fedora, but i really need to mount, so how? :P
[18:51] <owen1> how to check if a package exist from the terminal?
[18:51] <nickrud> christophoros put the error on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[18:52] <christophoros> ah ok
[18:52] <christophoros> sec
[18:52] <IndyGunFreak> steven: well, if its any consolation, the IntelHDA issue, and even my Intel Graphics, work great under hardy
[18:52] <weeman13221> well i logged on and a window came up saying something i believe it was like something along the lines of someone may be trying to control my computer etc and now i cant like right click on the desktop
[18:52] <weeman13221> and i dont see things on my desktop
[18:52] <nickrud> christophoros saw it
[18:52] <nickrud> christophoros you can get more info on #compiz-fusion as well
[18:52] <steven> bokey, well.. how am I going to copy that, its on the laptop next to me
[18:52] <bod_> weeman13221, restart nautilus, if that doesnt work, reinstall it -- id shut down first incase anyone is remotely using ur comp
[18:53] <weeman13221> bod_ little further detail as to how to do all that, noobish
[18:53] <bokey> steven, just paste the output of 'lspci | grep VGA' and paste it here
[18:54] <steven> IndyGunFreak, nice
[18:54] <bod_> weeman13221, ok -- in a terminal type      sudo apt-get purge nautilus && sudo apt-get install nautilus"
[18:54] <bod_> without quotes
[18:54] <steven> bokey, 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Unknown device 2a02 (rev Oc)
[18:55] <iositd> bod_, apt-get install --reinstall might be more safe?
[18:55] <bod_> iositd, maybe, but i find removing all instances and starting fresh is more reliable, but yes a reinstall is safer then a purge & install
[18:56] <bokey> steven, try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/i915Driver#head-ae723fd1968b04edba50253d75138b29444e1a57 and see how it goes
[18:56] <weeman13221> bod_ ok did that anything from there
[18:56] <bod_> weeman13221, restart x (press ctrl+alt+backspace)
[18:56] <DirtyMonkey> whats the Ubuntu equivilent of: rpm -Uvh ./*
[18:57] <steven> bokey, thanks ill try now
[18:57] <bod_> Ubuntu isnt a language -- DirtyMonkey what does that command do?
[18:57] <Odd-rationale> which packages has the gnome screenshot utility?
[18:57] <bokey> steven: okie =)
[18:57] <orkun> help - i want to equalize things - ANYhow(maybe without using jack) - i have pulseaudio installed - i can play around with pretty much everything - but googling says wait for pulseaudio etc - this will make it possible systemwide
[18:58] <tobmaif> botbanner
[18:58] <\C-g> hi all. Got a bit of a problem with my Ubuntu machine. Booting has got as far as  "loading hardware drivers" then it's showing lots of errors. "exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0"
[18:58] <DirtyMonkey> i need to install all files contained in a folder at teh same time
[18:58] <\C-g> there are a few lines of errors then they repeat
[18:58] <DirtyMonkey> something about a key
[18:58] <bod_> DirtyMonkey, are all the files the same file type?
[18:58] <\C-g> any ideas what might be wrong? or what I need to show for it to be apparent what's wrong...
[18:59] <Studiosus> Is there any tool to create "snapshot" of installed packages in Ubuntu, so one can rollback to some snapshot?
[18:59] <DirtyMonkey> yes all .deb
[18:59] <\C-g> a little worried for my files :p
[18:59] <echelon_> hi
[18:59] <Frogger626> Erm, that guide you gave me makes no sense (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows).  So i opened the gconf editor and went to the setting /desktop/gnome/background and set the value "picture_filename" as "manditory" for some reason next time I booted up my background had switched back to the default back
[18:59] <DirtyMonkey> typo=key
[18:59] <orkun> Studiosus, i am pretty sure that sbackup does that
[18:59] <bod_> DirtyMonkey, why do u have a file filled with .debs?
[19:00] <orkun> Studiosus, it creates a list of all packages installed at least
[19:00] <spike-2008> /ouit
[19:00] <DirtyMonkey> thats the way it unpacked
[19:00] <orkun> Studiosus, and by default settings does not backup things like /usr - but you should google it
[19:00] <bod_> DirtyMonkey, what unpacked?
[19:00] <Frogger626> Hello?
[19:00] <bod_> hi
[19:00] <dotech> orkun, hey im working on a pulseaudio / alsa problem too
[19:00] <esther> hello
[19:00] <DirtyMonkey> the file i need to install
[19:00] <orkun> i do not have a problem :) just want to equalize things
[19:01] <orkun> even getting bass out would be enough
[19:01] <DirtyMonkey> apparently the fix is to run the command # rpm -Uvh  ./*
[19:01] <bod_> DirtyMonkey, what does the README say?
[19:01] <DirtyMonkey> it doesn't
[19:01] <esther> im new in this, were are you all from
[19:01] <InGunsWeTrust> the short story of my problem is "How do I make a gconf key not mandatory anymore"
[19:01] <Frogger626> How does the syntax work there?
[19:01] <binarical-app> I updated my 710 system to 804 (i followed a wiki where repos for hardy were added) i am happy that my system isnt broken :D However i am experianceing strangeness. on DE login there are multiple natulus windows flashed . otherwise the bar with "quit", "minimise" and "fullscreen" options are missing from all launched applications. "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" return as null. Per graphical update manager, a partial up
[19:01] <iositd> esther, we're from all around the globe, helping each other. Is there something i may help you with?
[19:01] <bod_> DirtyMonkey, i dont know how to install .debs but someone else might,.,. what are you tryin to install? package name?
[19:01] <DirtyMonkey> oh sorry bod_
[19:01] <DirtyMonkey> thing i misunder soon you
[19:02] <IndyGunFreak> DirtyMonkey: what are you trying to install?  most .deb files you double click them to install
[19:02] <DirtyMonkey> its plesk
[19:02] <DirtyMonkey> Trying to install a new key... mv: can't stat source
[19:02] <DirtyMonkey> /usr/local/psa/tmp/psa.key
[19:02] <DirtyMonkey> ERROR  while trying to install psa default key
[19:02] <IndyGunFreak> isn't that int he repositories?
[19:02] <esther> yes im a disaster i have probs in sending photos
[19:02] <bokey> DirtyMonkey: to install a debian package manaully, do $ sudo dpkg -i foo.deb;
[19:03] <Frogger626> How should I enter "grub> root (<tab>  #grub will complete the line or list your partitions" in Terminal?
[19:03] <iositd> esther, what do you mean with have probs in sending photos ?
[19:03] <DirtyMonkey> apparently the fix is to install all Plesk RPMs from 'base/' directory simultaneously with the  command
[19:03] <DirtyMonkey> like:
[19:03] <DirtyMonkey> # rpm -Uvh ./*
[19:03] <ToddEDM> how do i get Super user privleges
[19:03] <Frogger626> sudo?
[19:03] <DirtyMonkey> but that command doesnt seem to work
[19:03] <bod_> !sudo
[19:03] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.
[19:03] <IndyGunFreak> DirtyMonkey: are you using an RPM file?
[19:03] <InGunsWeTrust> How do I make a gconf-editor key not mandatory anymore
[19:03] <IndyGunFreak> or a .deb file
[19:03] <DirtyMonkey> no
[19:03] <IndyGunFreak> then what does RPM have to do w/ anything?
[19:04] <DirtyMonkey> i need to do the same thing with .deb files
[19:04] <DirtyMonkey> im confused
[19:04] <IndyGunFreak> DirtyMonkey: give me a link to where you downloaded the .deb file
[19:04] <bod_> !find plesk
[19:04] <ubotu> No packages matching 'plesk' could be found
[19:05] <DirtyMonkey> how do i install multiple .deb files at once
[19:05] <javier> dsefsd
[19:05] <malduin> Anyone running Unbuntu through Vmware Fusion on a Mac "leopard"
[19:05] <IndyGunFreak> DirtyMonkey: why would you want to do that?
[19:05] <DirtyMonkey> coz apparently thats the way to get over the 'key' issue
[19:05] <LoLeN> how can i copy and ovewrite any existing files?
[19:06] <esther> i try to attach photos to to my messages and they dont  arrive
[19:06] <LoLeN> with "cp"
[19:06] <bod_> LoLeN, mv
[19:06] <jbjohns> Is this a group who happens to use ubuntu, or is some of the people who do releases etc in?
[19:06] <iositd> jbjohns, it's a group who offers/needs support for ubuntu
[19:06] <bod_> LoLeN, you cant with cp only with mv   sudo mv /some/file /some/file2
[19:06] <bokey> DirtyMonkey: for i in `ls /some/dir/`; do sudo dpkg -i $i; done
[19:06] <christopher_> bod_ u get my last messages?
[19:07] <bokey> DirtyMonkey: that's the easiest way
[19:07] <bod_> christopher_, no, who r u?
[19:07] <christopher_> bod_ its weeman13221 btw
[19:07] <bod_> oh ok
[19:07] <esther> something i m doing is wrong
[19:07] <bod_> christopher_, whats up?
[19:07] <DirtyMonkey> I'll try that bokey
[19:07] <IndyGunFreak> esther: what are you trying to attatch photos in?
[19:07] <marowit> hi, I'm a bit low on disk space and I saw that /usr/src/linux-source* folder takes 2gb of space, so i was wondering whether is it safe to remove it?
[19:07] <christopher_> bod_ did all that stuff, but i still am not showing all my stuff on my desktop, in my desktop folder i have my files but they dont actually show up on the desktp
[19:07] <bokey> DirtyMonkey: okie! =)
[19:08] <bokey> marowit: yes it safe to remove it
[19:08] <christopher_> bod_ i still cant right click on the desktop to get like a little menu
[19:08] <Frogger626> Anyone, please, when I go to install grub on my HD (specifically setup (hd0)) it says that it cam
[19:08] <Frogger626> *can't mount the drive
[19:08] <esther> good question email chats with my brother
[19:08] <bod_> christopher_, but nautilus works yer? have you got compiz-fusion custom effects enabled?
[19:08] <jbjohns> I noticed that a lot of ubuntu scripts are written in perl.  Is that just coincidence, or is that a preferred language?
[19:08] <binarical-app> esther: perhaps the files are too large and are not being correctly uploaded
[19:08] <christopher_> bod_ i do have compiz fuzion custom effects
[19:09] <marowit> bokey, thanks
[19:09] <IndyGunFreak> Frogger626: are you still using Ubuntu on an exgternal disk
[19:09] <bokey> marowit: yw =)
[19:09] <orkun> hey there - anyway i can equalize things ANYhow?(without xmms and jackd preferrably).
[19:09] <bod_> christopher_, did you by any chance try to get 4 different wallpapers for each desktop?
[19:09] <christopher_> bod_ when i start up, no toolbars or wallpaper
[19:09] <Frogger626> IndyGunFreak: Boot-disk
[19:09] <DirtyMonkey> bokey
[19:09] <christopher_> bod_ no, but i was looking at that earlier
[19:09] <amen51> Hi, trying to install awn, complains about GDK, "Requested 'gdk-2.0 >= 2.12' but version of GDK is 2.10.11", what is gdk and how I can upgrade it, I'm using Feisty
[19:09] <bokey> yeah?
[19:09] <IndyGunFreak> boot disk?
[19:09] <DirtyMonkey> not quite sure ref. that command
[19:09] <Frogger626> IndyGunFreak: Yes
[19:09] <IndyGunFreak> Frogger626: weren't you trying to install ubuntu to an external USB drive yesterday
[19:10] <bod_> christopher_, imnot sure why you dont have bars and things, im afraid i have to go now, but the 4 wallpapers thing, breaks nautilus (just to warn you)
[19:10] <Frogger626> IndyGunFreak: Yes I was. I am not sure if that worked (boot priority had HD ahead of removables), but now I can't boot into Windows.
[19:10] <IndyGunFreak> ok.
[19:11] <Frogger626> IndyGunFreak: I am using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows , if that helps
[19:11] <IndyGunFreak> amen51: go here, it should have all the .deb files you need..  http://www.getdeb.net/app/Avant+Window+Navigator
[19:11] <esther> i try to do one or two every time,the files are small
[19:11] <IndyGunFreak> Frogger626: ok, lemme look.
[19:11] <amen51> thanks IndyGunFreak
[19:11] <binarical-app> esther: are you using a web based mail ?
[19:12] <IndyGunFreak> Frogger626: ok, first, i just want to understand what you've done, yesterday's conversation, well, ive slept since then
[19:12] <esther> yes
[19:12] <PyN00b> hi everyone i am a ubuntu newbie , installed compiz recently and now i m not able to play any videos.
[19:12] <IndyGunFreak> Frogger626: you tried to install ubuntu to an external drive, it stuck Grub on your internal(master) drive, and now you're getting grub errors, correct?
[19:12] <PyN00b> hi everyone i am a ubuntu newbie , installed compiz recently and now i m not able to play any videos.
[19:12] <IndyGunFreak> PyN00b: don't repeat something every 2sec

[19:13] <xif> "The following packages have been kept back:"
[19:13] <QuantumKenny> Hello:  Ubuntu Hardy 8.04   update manager removed firefox 3 when upgrading xulrunner 1.9   now it will wil reinstall giving the error message:  firefox-3.0:
[19:13] <QuantumKenny>  Depends: xulrunner-1.9 but it is not going to be installed
[19:13] <xif> why does apt do that?
[19:13] <binarical-app> esther: in the case of yahoo or gmail, it will take a while to upload the pictures and correctly attach them to your message, depending on your internet connection
[19:13] <xif> I don't want to "keep them back", but to upgrade them.
[19:13] <IndyGunFreak> Frogger626: ok, and now if you turn your PC on, you're getting a grub error or something,  is that correct?
[19:14] <binarical-app> hey xif
[19:14] <Frogger626> IndyGunFreak: Error 21, to be exact.
[19:14] <esther> so my problem is my pacience
[19:14] <IndyGunFreak> Frogger626: ok, do you have a XP boot disk?
[19:14] <jgoguen> QuantumKenny: join #ubuntu+1 for Hardy support
[19:14] <kciuq> I use a soundblaster X-Fi card, i can only find the 64bit version of the drivers, would be greatfull for any help
[19:15] <esther> good for you indy i can read too
[19:15] <IndyGunFreak> Frogger626: see, this all started cuz you tried some bastard install..lol, if youd' have done it like everyone else, you'd rpboably be fine
[19:15] <Frogger626> IndyGunFreak: The dude who made this POS gave me an illegal copy, so no, I don't have an XP boot disk
[19:15] <IndyGunFreak> esther: well, i didn't really ask, but great
[19:15] <weeman> ok having a bit of a problem with startup having certain graphics runnin
[19:15] <weeman> can anyone help?
[19:15] <IndyGunFreak> Frogger626: hmm, ok.
[19:15] <esther> ok
[19:15] <IndyGunFreak> Frogger626: ok, gimme a sec.
[19:16] <asheron2> i have installed ubuntu and ather that i installed vista, how can i fix grub to start xp and ubuntu again ?
[19:16] <IndyGunFreak> Frogger626: so are you on your Ubuntu install now, or on a Live CD?
[19:16] <binarical-app> esther: well you could try by doing somethin easy, like uploading and attaching a tiny text file. this way you can see if it is accepting file in general or if its refusing to cooperate with you
[19:16] <Frogger626> IndyGunFreak: Live CD.
[19:16] <binarical-app> "it"
[19:16] <Frogger626> Is it possible to make a boot disk from a sister computer, another XP?
[19:16] <binarical-app> :D
[19:16] <esther> it really dose nt matter but i thougt it was funny
[19:16] <IndyGunFreak> Frogger626: do you have a floppy disk handy by chance?
[19:17] <IndyGunFreak> and a working floppy drive>
[19:17] <weeman> got a bit of a problem, can i get any help
[19:17] <IndyGunFreak> esther: what was funny?
[19:17] <Frogger626> IndyGunFreak: No floppy drive in the computer. I do have un-connected's nearby, but I don't trust myself in the computer.
[19:18] <Triona> *sighs* I could have rebooted 20 times by now.
[19:18] <IndyGunFreak> Frogger626: hmm
[19:18] <IndyGunFreak> well, a boot disk will fix this in about 5sec
[19:18] <daroou> Frogger626, supergrub is a bootable cd that can restore windows mbr --> http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org/
[19:18] <refrax> I am running blackbox from a command line install of ubuntu, when I plug in my USB drive "dmesg" reports it was attached to sdb, but /dev/sdb doesn't exist?
[19:18] <Frogger626> IndyGunFreak: Not exactly an optimal situation, is it?
[19:18] <IndyGunFreak> daroou: unless he had 2 cd drives, thats a useless suggestion
[19:18] <IndyGunFreak> Frogger626: no..
[19:18] <esther> is it poss that because the photo are sent to me i cant re send
[19:18] <moregreen> Hey all..im back and synaptic works, but firefox does not work.  I get the following error message when running firefox from terminal: libxpt: bad magic header in input file; found 'segarden12Notati', expected 'XPCOM\nTypeLib\r\n\032'
[19:18] <moregreen> Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[19:19] <binarical-app> esther: is the file even attached?
[19:19] <IndyGunFreak> Frogger626: download a windows boot disk?
[19:19] <IndyGunFreak> oops
[19:20] <IndyGunFreak> my whole sentence didn't come out for some reason
[19:20] <yaselmane> Hi to all
[19:20] <IndyGunFreak> Frogger626: do you have a friend that maybe can loan you a windows boot disk, or let you use their computer to make one?
[19:20] <moregreen> dpkg: serious warning: files list file for package `gnome-games' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed.
[19:21] <yaselmane> i have a problem with my laptop
[19:21] <refrax> dmesg reports my USB drive being attached on SDB but /dev/sdb doesn't exist?
[19:21] <IndyGunFreak> Frogger626: ?
[19:21] <esther> good question i think so
[19:21] <yaselmane> the bright keys in the keyboard doesn't work in ubuntu
[19:21] <binarical-app> esther: can yo be sure please?
[19:21] <yaselmane> and i can't control it
[19:21] <yaselmane> need help
[19:22] <malduin> Anyone running Unbuntu under Vmware Fusion on a Mac?
[19:22] <Frogger626> IndyGunFreak: I am running off the live-CD, and I can't burn with the disk in. What to do...
[19:22] <refrax> can anyone help me here?
[19:22] <soundray> !anyone | malduin
[19:22] <ubotu> malduin: 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?
[19:22] <refrax> dmesg shows my USB drive attached to sdb but /dev/sdb doesn't exist, help please?
[19:22] <IndyGunFreak> Frogger626: i know that.
[19:22] <malduin> Ok
[19:22] <weeman> can anyone give any help with a prob im having, stuff that should be on my desktop isnt showing up and when i right click on my desktop the normal little menu doesnt come up, and when i start up, i have no screensaver or anything unless i go to the appearance control panel
[19:22] <_CShadowRun> Hey, i'm trying to figure out how to get more themes for ubuntu, but i'm really confused
[19:22] <yaselmane> any one help me
[19:22] <IndyGunFreak> Frogger626: what i'm thinking, if you could make a windows boot disk, on a USB drive(like say, a pen drive), boot it, and repair your mbr, that will get you back to windows
[19:22] <soundray> refrax: how did you determine that it doesn't exist?
[19:23] <_CShadowRun> I downloaded a bunch of themes from gnome-look but none of them seem to be installable (They arn't theme packages)
[19:23] <marowit> yaselmane, did you try to switch to tty1 and change the brightness and then back to desktop
[19:23] <amen51> IndyGunFreak: tried the deb package for AWN, seems to be an old version, is there some way to upgrade GDK to 2.12 under Fiesty, thanks
[19:23] <michael__> haha this is pretty wicked i got my windows version of mx fireworks pro to work through wine is there any downside to using wine on ubuntu ?
[19:23] <stefg> !themes | _CShadowRun
[19:23] <ubotu> _CShadowRun: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy
[19:23] <binarical-app> refrax: you proabaly should make a mount point for it
[19:23] <yaselmane> how i do it ??
[19:23] <IndyGunFreak> amen51: there probably is, but not that i'm aware of.
[19:23] <_CShadowRun> stefg -_-
[19:23] <Frogger626> IndyGunFreak: How would I go about doing that? Super Grub?
[19:23] <nomic> what channel can i go to to ask about linux programming issues
[19:23] <_CShadowRun> you clearly ignored what i said
[19:23] <malduin> I'm running Ubuntu under Vmware Fusion on a Mac. I installed the latest vmware tools. Works fine but I keep losing keyboard control. Trying to type in Ubuntu just results in error tones. Any ideas
[19:23] <nomic> anyone please
[19:23] <_CShadowRun> I already have a bunch of themes, i have no idea how to install them.
[19:23] <amen51> IndyGunFreak: thanks anyways
[19:23] <IndyGunFreak> well, supergrub could work.., but i was thinking more along the lines of an actual win98 boot disk.
[19:23] <soundray> yaselmane: brightness settings work very differently between different laptop models. Look for your specific model on tuxmobil.org and see whether/how others have solved the problem.
[19:24] <Frogger626> indygunfreak: win98? Really? Where can I get one of those?
[19:24] <troxor> _CShadowRun: open them with file roller
[19:24] <Frogger626> How do I unpack an .iso on a thumb drive?
[19:24] <_CShadowRun> file roller?
[19:24] <moregreen> Hey all..im back and synaptic works, but firefox does not work.  I get the following error message when running firefox from terminal: libxpt: bad magic header in input file; found 'segarden12Notati', expected 'XPCOM\nTypeLib\r\n\032'
[19:24] <moregreen> Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[19:24] <soundray> malduin: I've got gutsy in fusion -- had all kinds of input issues, but not that one.
[19:25] <esther> isorry its not attached,my son sent the photo to me,and i cant re sent
[19:25] <soundray> malduin: is there a Mac application that steals keyboard focus?
[19:25] <nomic> anyone know where i can go to ask about linux programming i need to ask about framebuffer and things like that
[19:25] <moregreen> after apt-get installing opera, where would it happen to go ?
[19:25] <tobmaif> botbanner
[19:25] <esther> funny  you inpertinence
[19:25] <malduin> soundray, do you have to click into the virtual and cltrl-command out back to Mac?
[19:25] <yaselmane> thanks man
[19:25] <troxor> _CShadowRun: I don't know what it's called in the menu, but if you do alt+f2 (or in terminal), and run `file-roller`
[19:25] <yaselmane> i will try it
[19:25] <IndyGunFreak> Frogger626: the question really, is how are you going to get it to work
[19:25] <troxor> _CShadowRun: you will see what exactly the theme applies to
[19:26] <Frogger626> IndyGunFreak: That's my question.
[19:26] <_CShadowRun> thats just the archive manager :x
[19:26] <_CShadowRun> i've already extracted the theme.
[19:26] <soundray> malduin: no, I can click in a Mac application to get out of Fusion
[19:26] <gibblets> hey
[19:26] <binarical-app> esther: im sorry but i cannot help you with your problem. i assume that the file would be attached to the incomming mail, however if it is not then the problem is on zour sons side and not zours
[19:26] <gibblets> how do i log in as root
[19:26] <nomic> sudo su gibblets
[19:26] <soundray> malduin: did you reboot the guest since you installed vmware-tools?
[19:26] <gibblets> running KDE 4.0 unbuntu
[19:27] <Frogger626> IndyGunFreak: I could try to get my thumb-drive install up, but I would have to restart. Try it?
[19:27] <troxor> _CShadowRun: yeah, archive manager.. what did it extract to?
[19:27] <stefg> _CShadowRun: there's 3 kinds of styles: window decorations (aka metacity themes) , gui-styles (aka gtk2-themes) and icon-sets (aka icon themes)
[19:27] <soundray> gibblets: you don't -- use sudo to have root privileges
[19:27] <IndyGunFreak> yes you would.
[19:27] <michael__> you cant log into the gui as root ( not that i know of anyway )
[19:27] <troxor> _CShadowRun: they should extract to ~/.themes
[19:27] <gibblets> the front menu
[19:27] <gibblets> GDM
[19:27] <yaselmane> i didn't find my laptop in it
[19:27] <malduin> soundray, Ok after installing updated vmware-tools Mine is working that way as well. Its seemless which is good. But after a few minutes I can no longer inpuut keyboard commands to Ubuntu when it has focus. Just get the mac beep tone.
[19:27] <_CShadowRun> yea this theme has gtk, metacity, openbox and xfwm folders in it
[19:27] <malduin> soundray, yes I have rebooted Ubuntu several times.
[19:27] <troxor> gibblets: root login is disabled by default- you can enable it by running `sudo gdmsetup`
[19:27] <stefg> !root
[19:27] <ubotu> Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[19:28] <gibblets> kk
[19:28] <IndyGunFreak> brb
[19:28] <malduin> soundray, doesn't fix it but relogging into Leopard seemed to correct it fror a short while
[19:28] <\C-g> my swap partition seems to be playing up, how do I check it? Can't use fsck but I want something like that I think
[19:28] <yaselmane> anyone ???
[19:28] <gibblets> is there anything else i need to do
[19:28] <soundray> malduin: pity -- I don't know what to suggest, except searching the VMware knowledge base and/or asking VMware for help. There's also a #vmware channel
[19:29] <yaselmane> ok thanks for nothing !!!!
[19:29] <rothchild> when I log out to gdm I get an error (when the login screen loads) saying 'authentication error' it just keeps reappearing when I hit ok, I have set myself to auto login so it works from cold boot but if I want to restart the xserver I can get back in to the system without restartng, I suspect it may be something to do with PAM but I dunno where to start looking
[19:29] <kuta> how can I check the version of my ubuntu?
[19:29] <malduin> soundray, yeah looking into those options now
[19:29] <binarical-app> yaselmane: can you tell me what the model number is on you laptop or its name a specific obvious "type" number
[19:29] <dooglus> kuta: lsb_release -a
[19:29] <stefg> \C-g: first read 'free -m' and see if swapspace  is used. if not yu can simply run sudo swapoff -a and reformat the swap
[19:29] <esther> so if i recive a photo, i dont understand why, but you are saying that i can re send, i imagine that it is because my son sends the photos,so i cant re mail????
[19:30] <echelon> i just did a fresh install of ubuntu on an hp pavilian dv8000, but now i just get a blank screen
[19:30] <binarical-app> esther: you may have to reattach the photo
[19:30] <cmj-php> anyone know why i get a blank screen on the install cd?
[19:30] <echelon> there is no indicator that it's loading or anything
[19:30] <\C-g> stefg: it's not in use, how do I reformat it?
[19:30] <nomic> cmj-php you can choose a non graphical install
[19:30] <soundray> esther: in your son's email, right-click the attachment and save it to the Desktop. From there, you can attach it to any new email that you send.
[19:31] <stefg> \C-g: sudo swapoff -a for starters, that turns off the swap
[19:31] <soundray> cmj-php: your graphics card isn't supported so well. Try the Safe Graphics boot option.
[19:31] <smith> hello
[19:31] <cmj-php> soundray: thanks will try that
[19:31] <smith> general question
[19:31] <nomic> yes cmj-php it is a safe graphics text mode
[19:31] <nomic> install
[19:31] <echelon> soundray, what about me?
[19:32] <moregreen> !
[19:32] <moregreen> !ask
[19:32] <ubotu> Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[19:32] <stefg> \C-g: the run sudo fdisk -l and find out the device name for your swap partition
[19:32] <soundray> echelon: what about you?
[19:32] <cmj-php> nomic: will that mean i need the alternate install cd?
[19:32] <moregreen> ooh i got it :)
[19:32] <nomic> anyone know where to go to ask about linux programming issues (chat channel)
[19:32] <moregreen> #programming
[19:32] <\C-g> stefg: device is /dev/sda2
[19:32] <moregreen> #code
[19:32] <weeman> can anyone help, my items in my desktop folder dont show up in my desktop, and when i right click on my desktop i dont get a little menu like normal, and when i first start up i dont have a wallpaper or anything untill i go into the appearance window
[19:32] <moregreen> maybe, i am not sure
[19:32] <nomic> no cmj-php on your ubuntu install cd there is an option to install with safe graphics mode
[19:32] <malduin> soundray, Wow. Just found the issue the vmware forums. Get this the Last.fm client was holding focus or something and preventing the keyboard from working within my Ubuntu virtual. I closed Last.fm and bingo keyboard input working again. thats crazy!
[19:32] <troxor> echelon: where does it go blank?
[19:32] <nomic> thankyou moregreen
[19:32] <echelon> troxor, when it boots
[19:32] <smith> im in a multimedia design major, we use mac os x but I cant afford a mac, should I use ubuntu 64-bit?
[19:33] <stefg> \C-g: mkswap /dev/sda2
[19:33] <soundray> cmj-php: the alternate (text-mode) install CD is your next option, but try Safe Graphics first
[19:33] <echelon> troxor, i don't see anything until i reach GDM
[19:33] <stefg> \C-g: sudo mkswap /dev/sda2 , rather
[19:33] <cmj-php> thanks... will try that now then
[19:33] <moregreen> nomic - just a guess
[19:33] <soundray> !yay | malduin
[19:33] <ubotu> malduin: Glad you made it! :-)
[19:33] <rothchild> http://pastebin.ca/972764 my /pam.d/gdm
[19:33] <esther> ok and thanks from now on i ll save in destop i hope it works
[19:33] <malduin> thats a strange one
[19:34] <troxor> echelon: do you have startup-manager?
[19:34] <echelon> troxor, startup-manager?
[19:34] <troxor> echelon: you can use that to disable the splash altogether
[19:34] <malduin> was going crazy trying to figure out how I broke it
[19:34] <malduin> heh
[19:34] <smith> how good is ubuntu 64-bit for multimedia apps, I use photoshop, terragen, 3ds max, flash cs3, etc.
[19:34] <echelon> i have to disable the splash?
[19:34] <Triona> Hmm. hotswap: opening IDE device failed: No such file or directory
[19:34] <\C-g> stefg: "/dev/sda2: No such file or directory" It had loads of trouble when booting, showed loads of errors related to /dev/sda2
[19:34] <troxor> echelon: er, startupmanager *
[19:34] <moregreen> Hey all... is KUBUNTU less stable than UBUNTU?
[19:34] <\C-g> stefg: it does show up in fdisk though
[19:34] <echelon> so the splash screen is the problem?
[19:34] <moregreen> :)
[19:35] <troxor> echelon: you don't have to, but you can try it to get at least some output
[19:35] <echelon> oh ok
[19:35] <troxor> echelon: sounds like usplash is at fault, yes...
[19:35] <smith> can I use parallels with ubuntu 64-bit and virtualize vista 64-bit?
[19:35] <stefg> \C-g: pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l and dmesg (see /topic for pastebin url)
[19:35] <echelon> well, i'm still doing system updates.. let's see if it works
[19:35] <binarical-app> moregreen: kde 4 is a little new, otherwise gnome and kde are a preferance issue
[19:35] <rothchild> moregreen dunno about stability but it's not as 'polished'
[19:35] <moregreen> thanks binarical-app
[19:35] <weeman> can anyone help, my items in my desktop folder dont show up in my desktop, and when i right click on my desktop i dont get a little menu like normal, and when i first start up i dont have a wallpaper or anything untill i go into the appearance window
[19:35] <IndyGunFreak> moregreen: do you prefer gold or crap?..lol
[19:36] <moregreen> I mean, i installed kubuntu... and ever since, its been freezing all the time
[19:36] <moregreen> i prefer SILVER, but yeah
[19:36] <troxor> smith: if your real processor is 64bit, and parallels runs on ubuntu, yes- you can try virtualbox if it doesn't
[19:36] <smith> ok thanks
[19:36] <IndyGunFreak> moregreen: well, KDE pretty much sucks in my opinion.. i've never had a good experience w/ it.. YMMV
[19:36] <smith> i have q9450
