[12:01] <Muzik83> ah touche
[12:01] <thekidrio> but not all kernel panics cause core dumps
[12:01] <ompaul> hossasaur, you don't need to - you need your data
[12:01] <FatherTyme> Does anyone have a netboot image for Dapper with the bnx2 drivers?
[12:01] <LMNT_OX> whats a good partition prog for ubuntu, DVD player, IRC client (Graphical preffered), a good DL site for Progs. and, site to learn how to operate through the terminal, please reply in PM.... Thanks :)
[12:01] <adaptr> Absenth: true.. close enough, *in wintendo terms*.. it's still miseducation
[12:01] <thekidrio> haha
[12:01] <thekidrio> wintendo
[12:01] <hossasaur> ompaul: i'm worried that the sda2 partition will fill
[12:01] <thekidrio> love that
 the kernel gets afraid of ghosts <-LOL
[12:01] <justin4thirty> I tried Feisty, but I manage to break that every five minutes.
[12:01] <new_fan> hi all ;-)
[12:02] <hossasaur> ompaul: sda1 is larger than sda2's free space
[12:02] <thekidrio> hehe slv
[12:02] <thekidrio> i do only use windows for games
[12:02] <ompaul> hossasaur, so then only do data - see eariler message
[12:02] <Absenth> Who was asking about WPA?  Take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo
[12:02] <thekidrio> so it is like a wintendo
[12:02] <hossasaur> Absenth: i was, thanks
[12:02] <PwcrLinux> I wondered if the LTS system require would be same? mines is 2 Ghz, 768 MB and 40 GB/16 MB cache HD.
[12:02] <adaptr> PwcrLinux: dapper is dapper, there is no difference
[12:03] <adaptr> PwcrLinux: use for what ?
[12:03] <PwcrLinux> lappy
[12:03] <adaptr> 2 real GHzes ?
[12:03] <Absenth> I found a document that discussed installing Ubuntu 5.10 with an encrypted / /home and swap partition.  What are the chances the same procedure is likely to work on 6.10?
[12:03] <SilentM> Hrm
[12:03] <SaveFerris> Hey, how do i set my USB headset as the default audio device?
[12:03] <adaptr> Absenth: 100%, basically.. it'll only have gottten better, not worse...
[12:03] <SilentM> I have a set of speakers and a USB headset
[12:03] <PwcrLinux> yes, 2 Ghz
[12:03] <PwcrLinux> hang up ops..
[12:03] <SilentM> When I set the audio settings to USB Headset everything works fine
[12:03] <Absenth> adaptr: perfect,  I suspected as much, but some times packages change, are removed, or replaced.
[12:04] <PwcrLinux> up-on
[12:04] <SilentM> Except some programs (namely firefox + flash) play on my speakers instead
[12:04] <adaptr> Absenth: well, as long as the method used is the same, I don';t see why it would be any different
[12:04] <SilentM> How would I fix that?
[12:04] <adaptr> PwcrLinux: be aware of the vaio issues... there's a wiki about it I think, or google, lots of info on vaio's
[12:04] <stiz> i google WPA and ubuntu and I get a 100 different answers, isnt there just a config file or something i can download with a gui to put my WPA key in?
[12:04] <Absenth> adaptr: I'm going to give it a shot on my notebook tonight.
[12:05] <Hallage> Hey, guys. My /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse) and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/edgy-universe.list (dist parse) files, for Synaptic, seem to be malfunctioning. I cant actually USE Synaptic to download anything. Both cite a malformed line on line 2 as the issue when I run Synaptic. Any ideas? Can this be fixed with someone just sending me the files?
[12:05] <Absenth> stiz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo
[12:05] <PS_> hi all, is this a good place to get help with xorg config of the ati driver in Edgy?
[12:05] <PwcrLinux> adaptr: yes, breezy work prefectly, but the LTS?
[12:05] <adaptr> Absenth: unless you use STR a lot, I would just scramble swap on shutdown
[12:05] <hak0> unop: thanks , will start build soon i hope
[12:05] <adaptr> PwcrLinux: oh, well - why would you want to ?
[12:05] <adaptr> Absenth: an encrypted swap would be a serious performance hit on a laptop
[12:05] <linxeh> isnt the LTS the same as Breezy ?
[12:06] <Absenth> adaptr: mostly screwing around with it.  with 1gb of ram it may not be quite as bad, but point taken.
[12:06] <PwcrLinux> not same, the different version
[12:06] <ompaul> !lts
[12:06] <linuxnewbie756> i have /home/matt/Data/1, and when i mount something there, i can't write to it, i have tried chmod and chown, but i don't know if i have done them correctl
[12:06] <ubotu> LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.
[12:06] <linuxnewbie756> y
[12:06] <adaptr> linxeh: no
[12:06] <adaptr> linuxnewbie756: mount them as who ? root ?
[12:07] <hossasaur> ompaul: for future reference, where is a good place to mount the fat32 partition that contains all of my music/videos/docs?
[12:07] <linxeh> ok my bad

[12:07] <daviey> Anybody here having problems with evolution and IMAP accounts, receiving attachments??
[12:07] <Absenth> stiz: did that document cover what you're looking for?
[12:07] <ompaul> hossasaur, not having one is best
[12:07] <adaptr> linuxnewbie756: the first time you create a new partition, you need to sudo chmod 777 /mount/point, or only root will have access
[12:07] <linuxnewbie756> well, i am using truecrypt, and i have to use sudo to get it to work, so it is root, and if i look at the folder properties after its mounted, its owned by root
[12:07] <hossasaur> ompaul: i use both windows and linux, i'd like to be able to share that media
[12:07] <linxeh> sorry, I meant Dapper and LTS ?
[12:07] <adaptr> hossasaur: the place really does. not. matter. in the slightest
[12:07] <PwcrLinux> LTS 6.06 and Dapper 6.10
[12:07] <ompaul> hossasaur, however if you must, then I would call it  /media/fat
[12:07] <adaptr> linxeh: dapper is an LTS version
[12:08] <adaptr> PwcrLinux: whuh ?
[12:08] <stiz> Absenth: thanks that looks like what i need
[12:08] <linuxnewbie756> adaptr, i just tried that, it didn't work
[12:08] <daviey> hossasaur, /mount/fat32  (or something that sounds good to you, ie winxp)
[12:08] <ompaul> hossasaur, stop procrastinating move 100% now is your chance ;-
[12:08] <Api984> has anyone tryed to install a modem on ubutu
[12:08] <linuxnewbie756> sudo chmod 777 /home/matt/Data/1
[12:08] <adaptr> linuxnewbie756: well, I've never used truecrypt, so I really couldn't say

[12:08] <hossasaur> ompaul: will that permanently mount the partition there?
[12:08] <adaptr> linuxnewbie756: is there data on it already ?
[12:08] <hossasaur> daviey: thanks
[12:08] <daviey> hossasaur, no, in order to do it perm' you need to edit /etc/fstab
[12:09] <Absenth> stiz: just an FYI to improve your googlefoo...  I searched:   wpa +ubuntu      and then looked for the one that was linked off of ubuntu.com  :)

[12:11] <ompaul> hossasaur, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions  might help refresh memory and bring you up to date on how we do things today - very little compiling
[12:11] <Absenth> lisapc: It should be MOSTLY standard, however, there are some Grub changes Vista requires that XP or 2000 did not.

[12:15] <cc2k> apt-get install phpmyadmin?

[12:21] <adaptr> Absenth: I had no idea it was fully stable yet... from your question I deduced that reiser4 would need to be finished before inclusion ?

[12:23] <amx> anyone managed to run feisty herd4 using VirtualBox?
[12:23] <Absenth> adaptr: a quick search of the oracle makes it look as if Reiser4 is released.  but not merged into the mainline linux kernel.
[12:23] <mdious> cya everyone
[12:23] <Absenth> adaptr: *shrug* i guess it doesn't really matter :)
[12:23] <adaptr> hossasaur: do that with both drives - if it's only one drive, then of course your performance will be less than 50%

[12:24] <adaptr> Absenth: oh, i see.. well, I understand that there were serious stability issues with early releases
[12:24] <cc2k> adaptr: so liek this right?  cp -a /phpmyadmin /var/www/ <-- like that?
[12:25] <cc2k> and yes i did read ^^:)
[12:25] <adaptr> linuxnewbie756: it would make sense - in more ways than one - to disallow changing the ownership and/or permissions of an encrypted drive after it has been created, save through the interface specifically defined for truecrypt
[12:25] <adaptr> cc2k: cp -a /soure/dir /dest/dir, add a / at the end to make sure it takes the dest as a dir
[12:25] <linuxnewbie756> um, i haven't found an interface in truecrypt, asfar as i can tell, its only terminal based adaptr
[12:26] <adaptr> cc2k: that makes a perfect copy of everything in the source dir
[12:26] <cc2k> k ty adaptr
[12:26] <adaptr> linuxnewbie756: as I said before, never used it, no idea, sorry
[12:26] <bruenig> cheesedude, ...
[12:27] <linuxnewbie756> adaptr, there is one for windows, a gui that is, so wouldn't it make sense that there would be for linux?
[12:27] <cc2k> k ty adaptr it workt ^^:)
[12:27] <Hallage> daviey:All kind working, thanks [for now - until I find what caused it] . THanks
[12:28] <daviey> Hallage, good 'o
[12:28] <linxeh> linuxnewbie756: there is no gui provided by the creators of the tool. use kgpg or whatever
[12:28] <xdx> hi, how can i correct this : libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x5b ?
[12:28] <linxeh> linuxnewbie756: or write a gui :)
[12:28] <hossasaur> adaptr: 1800mb/sec cached reads, 24mb/sec buffered disk reads
[12:28] <linuxnewbie756> linxeh, kgpg??? what is it and where can i get it?
[12:29] <linxeh> linuxnewbie756: it encrypts files and emails and such. kde gnu privacy guard (an open implementation of PGP)
[12:29] <linxeh> linuxnewbie756: it doesnt do filesystems though
[12:29] <adaptr> hossasaur: that is verra slow
[12:29] <Kresjah> Are there any specific reasons for a make failing, due to not finding an include file in a location specified to search for include files... _even_ if the include file actually is in that very path?
[12:29] <hossasaur> adaptr: i know, what's up with that
[12:30] <adaptr> hossasaur: but since it's SATA, you won't have much luck determining the settings with hdparm... try it anyway: hdparm /dev/whatever
[12:30] <adaptr> and also get the specs out of the drive: hdparm -i /dev/whatever
[12:30] <clotarn> hello
[12:30] <thingy> hossasaur, instead of hdparm use sdparam <-- for sata disks!
[12:30] <Explosif> what program can i use to recieve and play podcasts?
[12:30] <thingy> sdparm*
[12:31] <bruenig> Explosif, rhythmbox
[12:31] <clotarn> is some one good for grub help
[12:31] <hossasaur> thingy: it's not finding sdparam as a command

[12:35] <clotarn> sorry guys, my english is not so good, i just wonder how to get grub as i format my dual boot
[12:36] <Jordan_U> Savant2k6: Depends on what kernel you are using, most likely you just want -generic

[12:36] <daviey> clotarn, back up your existing grub?
[12:36] <clotarn> and i lost grub I do not know how having it back
[12:36] <Kresjah> daviey, keep in mind that I'm a newbie :p
[12:36] <clotarn> too late, lool dav
[12:37] <Kresjah> Basically, the ubuntu mesa packages does not include the mach64 kernel modules for security reasons, so I need to get them somehow, and there seems no other way than to build it myself

[12:38] <clotarn> thanks, I'll have a look there ok
[12:39] <Jordan_U> savant_: glxinfo | rendering
[12:39] <daviey> Kresjah, try sudo ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-xxx /usr/src/linux    (hit tab after headers to complete)

[12:41] <savant_> Jordan_U: ah! it seemed to have worked. strange thing is, the tutorial said i should see some nvidia logo after hitting ctrl+alt+backspace. and i didn't
[12:41] <cc2k> adaptr:  http://imagebin.org/7317   that shoudnt be like that  ^^
[12:41] <hossasaur> adaptr: how do i fix the speed problem?
[12:42] <linxeh> is there an ardour2 package somewhere for ubuntu ?
[12:42] <Jordan_U> savant_: That can be turned on or off, it should be on by default but just because it isn't displaying doesn't mean it isn't working
[12:42] <cypherdelic> Ha! I DO know, why Microsoft make a mircale of their source. Not because of they want to make money, but just because of their source is embarassing poor :)poor
[12:42] <Kresjah> daviey: Ok, done. Should I try to make again?
[12:43] <savant_> Jordan_U: i see. now i just need something to test it with. nice one
[12:43] <daviey> Kresjah, yeah
[12:43] <cypherdelic> if some functionality is given by a bad performing code, they dont care, because noone will ever see it
[12:43] <cypherdelic> so vista needs 1gib ram
[12:44] <daviey> Kresjah, are you following any guides?  I suggest making a deb package rather than actually installing
[12:44] <cc2k> :P
[12:44] <cypherdelic> i dont know why...
[12:44] <Kresjah> daviey: Nope, still the same story
[12:44] <Stuttergart> does anyone know what something like "@MKINSTALLDIRS@" means in a make file?
[12:44] <Jordan_U> cypherdelic: #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:44] <savant_> Jordan_U:  i still have the feeling that the desktop is still slower than in the MS System i wouldn't mention here... ^
[12:44] <Stuttergart> the significance of the "@" symbol
[12:44] <cypherdelic> it seems not to need it, if i watch memory usage of open source OSes that look nicer
[12:44] <Kresjah> daviey: I'm following the guide from www.mesa3d.org on compiling. Also, I have no idea on how to make .deb packages
[12:44] <armadill0> Hey does anyone know where I can find some good docs on how to implement live webcasts with linux, I'd like to record/ stream simultaneously.  Thanks!
[12:45] <linxeh> cypherdelic: actually a lot of the MS source isnt that bad
[12:45] <krgn_> hi
[12:45] <biteme> anyone here up for some brainpicking?
[12:45] <cc2k> http://imagebin.org/7317   that shoudnt be like that  ^^    i deleted all the files and folders in /var/www/    and shoudnt delete phpmyadmin,  now i copy paste it from /etc/phpmyadmin/ to  /var/www/   and it looks like that picture if i access it
[12:45] <cypherdelic> linxeh, but it isnt that good, either :)
[12:45] <linxeh> cypherdelic: no, but nor is most open source code
[12:45] <dyrne> armadill0: not really a good scalable solution maybe but i often just use vlc to stream. all in the gui if you want
[12:46] <cypherdelic> so if something wrong with open source, i go on irc
[12:46] <jahid> how can i see available users of my system?
[12:46] <david> why, when i dist-upgrade my Edgy installation, does it want to remove upstart and add sysvinit?
[12:46] <linxeh> cypherdelic: if something goes wrong on windows I phone MS and they will often send someone out
[12:46] <cypherdelic> what do i have to do with windows "send problem"?
[12:46] <dyrne> jahid: users currently logged in or all users with accounts?
[12:46] <dabide> need help (total linux newbie): i installed ubuntu server, but changed the network card afterwards and now i dont get the ip for the server over dhpc, what should i do?#
[12:46] <cypherdelic> lol i would never call microsoft
[12:46] <Kresjah> daviey: Would it be helpful if I pastebin the make log?
[12:46] <asdf> does nasm on x86_64 give output for 32 or 64bit?
[12:46] <jahid> all users with account and group
[12:46] <cypherdelic> i even did used it not legally
[12:46] <daviey> Kresjah, yeah, try it
[12:47] <linxeh> cypherdelic: well, we have a large support contract with Microsoft, Sun, HP and Redhat
[12:47] <Jordan_U> david: You should not use dist-upgrade to upgrade from dapper to Edgy
[12:47] <dyrne> jahid: dunno i usually just cat /etc/passwd
[12:47] <armadill0> dyrne ok coolness I'll check it out
[12:47] <cypherdelic> linxeh,  of course, money holding companys will arrive good support
[12:47] <cc2k> http://imagebin.org/7317   that shoudnt be like that  ^^    i deleted all the files and folders in /var/www/    and shoudnt delete phpmyadmin,  now i copy paste it from /etc/phpmyadmin/ to  /var/www/   and it looks like that picture if i access it<-- any1? plz ^^
[12:47] <ompaul> linxeh, cypherdelic, nothing to do with the fact that this is offtopic, and in fact the hidden calls made by their software, but if "approved OEM software makes those calls then it does not get called approved" has nothing to do with it, the fact that they have a policy of embrace and extent and break has nothing to do with it, sorry it is offtopic can we leave it there thanks.
[12:47] <cypherdelic> but if i, for person use, got a bug
[12:47] <daviey> linxeh, how many pages to this 'large contract' ;)
[12:47] <dyrne> armadill0: videolan has a website with howtos
[12:48] <david> Jordan_U: this is a fresh edgy install
[12:48] <linxeh> ompaul: sure, no worries. I simply said that MS code was really no worse than most open source code, but ok
[12:48] <jahid> how can i delete a user of my system?
[12:49] <david> Jordan_U: that wants to use sysv
[12:49] <linxeh> ompaul: and plenty of open projects "embrace and extend", but that's allowed
[12:49] <cypherdelic> jahid open /etc/passwd and delte the line of that user
[12:49] <jahid> ok
[12:49] <cypherdelic> then, if it is a human user
[12:49] <cypherdelic> delete the /home/user
[12:49] <Ranbee_> file:///home/iceni60/.irssi
[12:50] <Ranbee_> sorry
[12:50] <Jordan_U> david: Strange, what does it try to do if you run: sudo apt-get -f install
[12:50] <dyrne> jahid: deluser or edit the passwd file. there is a gui tool in ubuntu but i dont know gnome very well
[12:50] <switchy> hi, I installed a new gdm log in screen, but it doesn't match my moniter's optimal screen resolution, is there a way for me to scale it accordingly?
[12:50] <cc2k> any1 wanne help my phpmyadmin problem plz? ^^:)
[12:50] <david> Jordan_U: nothing
[12:50] <dyrne> jahid: youd just remove the whole line the user is in in passwd. if you just want to change groups and access you can sudo gedit /etc/group
[12:50] <daviey> cc2k, what is the prob; i told you what to do
[12:51] <Kresjah> daviey: http://rafb.net/YkLyWP44.html   <---- The make with errors. I've made one change to the configs, and that is adding two extra include paths to search for the files in (one of which is that linux-headers path). This has helped a lot, as I had probably 3 times or more errors searching for missing files earlier.
[12:51] <cc2k> u did?
[12:51] <david> Jordan_U: i'm using the ubuntu.mirrors.tds.net servers--could those be making it funky?
[12:51] <cc2k> u mean cp -a dir dir ?
[12:51] <daviey> cc2k, sudo apt-get remove phpmyadmin && sudo apt-get install php-myadmin
[12:51] <cc2k> last part is with the -?
[12:51] <daviey> cc2k, sorry ignore the '-' in the second part
[12:52] <cc2k> then i did that already :P
[12:52] <cc2k> but it didnt show up in the www folder
[12:52] <cc2k> then i copy it to the www folder and now its not working like it should ^^
[12:52] <Jordan_U> david: Shouldn't but try with the default servers and see if anything different happens.

[12:53] <iturk> hi there guys i am getting no scan results with my wireless tools! The board its working! in which place could be the problem ?
[12:53] <cc2k> dabide join the club, only kknow windows ^^:)
[12:54] <bryan986> Hello, I am trying to use my public ip to access my ubuntu server behind the same router as me, I want to use it like a local ip address so that I can test it as if someone was trying to connect from the internet, how would I get this to work? (It works from another network but not on the same one as the server)
[12:54] <Jordan_U> iturk: Is your wireless card supported?
[12:54] <riddlebox> how long is dapper supported for?
[12:54] <cc2k> bryan proxy problem maybe? i have the same problem..
[12:55] <iturk> Jordan_U: yes
[12:55] <dyrne> dabide: sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces   or you can do through the gui
[12:55] <Quintin> bryan986: that may or may not work depending on your router.  if it's a storebought router, there's not much you can do to make it work.  You can just use the local IP and it should be what anyone connecting from the net would get.
[12:55] <dabide> dyrne: how do i start the gui in ubuntu server?
[12:55] <dyrne> dabide: you could also just sudo gedit /etc/iftab   and switch the device names for the mac addresses
[12:56] <iturk> Jordan_U: i also install the latests wireless tools 2.8 version so it should work
[12:56] <dyrne> dabide: sorry sudo nano
[12:56] <Quintin> dabide: by default I don't think there is a GUI in ubuntu server ..
[12:56] <dabide> Quintin: thought so :)
[12:56] <Quintin> dabide: Are you using a supported card?  is it listed in lspci or dmesg ?
[12:57] <Quintin> iturk: are you using supported chipset?
[12:57] <stiz> im looking at the ubuntu guide for WPA and /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf does not exsist, and wpa supplicant is installed
[12:57] <Quintin> Oh, this is important.
[12:57] <iturk> Quintin: yes a really linux friendly one
[12:57] <bryan986> Quintin: yes I know I would get the same thing, but I would like to be able to test out that things such as a domain is working
[12:57] <dyrne> dabide: thought you just added another nic
[12:57] <Quintin> Does anyone here know ubuntuforums.org admin ???
[12:57] <cc2k> david: u saw what i wrote about the phpmyadmin?

[12:57] <Sergo> hello
[12:57] <Sergo> it is possible to empy reclye bin from console ?-)
[12:58] <dabide> dyrne: no, i changed the card (ethernet) - removed the old one, and plugged the new one in, but made no further steps on the server
[12:58] <Quintin> bryan986: Shouldn't be any reason to need to test that, just make sure your dns is configured properly
[12:58] <Quintin> Sergo: there are '.Trash' directories around.. find them
[12:58] <Jordan_U> Quintin: Why?
[12:58] <Quintin> dabide: lspci , dmesg

[01:05] <savant_> doh. is there no flash player for amd64 / firefox available?
[01:05] <Quintin> savant_: 64bit is usually more trouble than it's worth..
[01:05] <Blais1> Hi there,
[01:05] <lufi1> savant_: nope, you can thank adobe for that.
[01:05] <rmd_> lufi1: the implication here is that vinboy is very clever and has corrected your terminology.
[01:05] <cc2k> any1 here know how to fix my phpmyadmin window,   i deleted from the  /var/www/ folder and  then i did apt-get remove and install,  but it didnt came back in the www folder so i did a cp -a /etc/phpmyadmin/ /var/www/    but that didnt work http://imagebin.org/7317  i can use some help, as im a ubuntu n00b ^^
[01:06] <lufi1> rmd_: i'm very amused.
[01:06] <Blais1> How do I change my refresh rate without reconfiguring X?
[01:06] <Jordan_U> savant_: Nope, not for windows or Linux, you can get the 32 bit version to work though
[01:06] <dabide> Quintin: yes the ethernet card shows up in lspci, etc/network/interfaces has it set to dhpc - how  can i check if its got an ip? (by now i checked in the router status)
[01:06] <Quintin> Jordan_U: I click a link on that page.. and it happens again.  I am very unhappy. :(
[01:06] <vinboy> sorry guys
[01:06] <rmd_> lufi1: as is everyone else, i assure you.
[01:06] <Quintin> dabide: ifconfig
[01:06] <savant_> Jordan_U:  okeez, will try the 32bit then. thx :)

[01:07] <dyrne> lufi1: the first link
[01:07] <lufi1> dyrne: thanks
[01:07] <Blais1> dyrne: It doesn't give me the full range that I have in xorg.conf
[01:07] <dyrne> Blais1: eh?
[01:07] <dyrne> Blais1: only the lower rates showing up as options?
[01:08] <Blais1> dyrne: I want 1680x1050@60, this isn't available
[01:08] <Blais1> the lower rez's also
[01:08] <gaussian88> dabide: I just jumped and I don't know the beginning of your conversation, but you can always check your IP of your interfaced by typing: ifconfig in your terminal window (Accessories --> Terminal)
[01:08] <gaussian88> dabide: I just jumped in ......
[01:08] <Quintin> Blais1: are you sure your monitor supports that?
[01:08] <iturk> Quintin: by the way i am using kernel 2.6.19 so wireless extensions its WE-19 so wireless-tools should work fine
[01:08] <Blais1> yes
[01:08] <Blais1> I forced it to 1680x1050@75 and it doesn't look good
[01:09] <Blais1> I've very fuzzy text
[01:09] <dyrne> Blais1: gogole for a online modline calculator
[01:09] <Blais1> ok
[01:09] <dyrne> Blais1: youll have to edit xorg or do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:10] <shadowhywind> anyone have any idea why when i try to use my wireless my my computer slows down to a halt
[01:10] <Blais1> no probs
[01:10] <christopher> I setup a print server but the test page spits out single lines of gibberish per page. I've setup that printer locally on linux before, but for some reason the printer isn't working this time..
[01:10] <Quintin> iturk: I'm lost if you don't get anything from above..  sudo su and then iwlist scanning should show something
[01:11] <Jordan_U_> savant_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava
[01:11] <jahid> is there any light weight ftp server, i will just use in LAN, so i don't need that much security or complexity
[01:11] <juano__> christopher: mmm, this happens remotely or on the server as well ?
[01:11] <megafauna> Hi I seem to have killed all sound coming out of my box, I believe that I turnt off (or on) Service Settings --> Audio Settings Management. How do I turn it back on pls?
[01:11] <christopher> juano__, well I'm sending the test page remotly, via the webpage admin interface
[01:12] <christopher> juano, dunno if that counts as remotely or not
[01:12] <Jordan_U_> savant_: Sorry my wireless is flakey, I hope that link got to you.
[01:12] <juano__> christopher: sounds like a printer issue more than soft config, though have you tried it with windows or something ? , same results ?
[01:12] <iturk> Quintin: after i install wireless-tools i dont have iwconfig working but iwlist its installed .. isnt it strange ?
[01:13] <gaussian88> jahid: Use gftp
[01:13] <christopher> juano__, I'm 99.9% sure the printer is fine.
[01:13] <dabide> when i modify etc/network/interfaces and want to save it with "save interfaces" i get "e212: cant open file for writing" - whats the right command to save this in vim?
[01:13] <gaussian88> jahid: simple, but not too too light
[01:13] <iturk> Quintin: this doing make and make install of wilress-tools 28
[01:13] <Jordan_U_> megafauna: in a terminal run alsamixer
[01:13] <juano__> christopher: hehe good, well we know its a soft configuration
[01:13] <Quintin> dabide: you're not root.
[01:13] <Quintin> dabide: :w ~/tmpfile
[01:14] <Quintin> dabide: then copy it later
[01:14] <juano__> christopher: is this printer shared with samba ? or how are you sharing the printer ?
[01:14] <Quintin> iturk: building from source makes it a lot harder to give support
[01:14] <lightup> Is it possible to disable the graphics card in my AGP slot and run from my onboard graphics without removing the card?
[01:14] <megafauna> Jordan_U trying now:)
[01:14] <Hasrat_USA> I typed man in the terminal and it brought up some text. but how can i now go back to the normal terminal and quit man?
[01:14] <christopher> juana__, I haven't install samba yet, I'm jus trying to get the test page to print fisrt
[01:14] <bruenig> q
[01:14] <Quintin> lightup: Probably.  Look at the BIOS for your computer, not here. (!)
[01:14] <bruenig> Hasrat_USA, q
[01:14] <Hasrat_USA> damn!
[01:14] <Quintin> Hasrat_USA: q
[01:14] <jahid> gaussian88, i tried to install gftp through my synaptic package manager
[01:14] <Hasrat_USA> thanks it was so easy and quick and my ignorance is to blame
[01:14] <jahid> but, i just get clients, but no server
[01:15] <lightup> Quintin: ok thanks, I thought it was something you did in the OS
[01:15] <juano__> christopher: ah ok , so your printing through the server
[01:15] <christopher> juano__, I haven't installed cups raster or the gimp drivers, I don't know if they come standard or not
[01:15] <juano__> christopher: on the machine that the printer is connected to
[01:15] <iturk> Quintin: from apt the version its 19 and my driver in the kernel its prepared to work with 21 but when i try to compile 21 i get 'C' stange errors
[01:15] <gaussian88> jahid: ohhh  I thought you wanted a client.  I'm not too familiar w/ ftp servers
[01:15] <megafauna> Jordan_U  It is on and the bars are empty (Amarok is playing)
[01:15] <gaussian88> jahid: sorry
[01:15] <Hasrat_USA> there are 966 people in this room omg!
[01:15] <jahid> gaussian88, its alright
[01:15] <bruenig> I have 965
[01:15] <megafauna> Jordan_U_  It is on and the bars are empty (Amarok is playing)
[01:15] <ubuntunewbie> hi, I'm new to ubuntu. I installed network-manager but my wireless connection isn't showing up in network manager. Can someone please help me?
[01:15] <Quintin> iturk: I can't support compiling stuff from source.  use the .debs
[01:15] <gaussian88> 964.   liers!
[01:16] <iturk> Quintin: so i deceide to use the latest source 28 which didnt gave any errors in compiling
[01:16] <juano__> christopher: it could be helpful to look up in synaptic those GIMP drivers
[01:16] <Quintin> ubuntunewbie: what chipset?
[01:16] <megafauna> Jordan_U_  What does this mean?
[01:16] <juano__> christopher: if you need them, that is
[01:16] <gaussian88> it's like a trading floor
[01:16] <Jordan_U> megafauna: You have the volume turned down
[01:16] <ubuntunewbie> Quintin ipw2200
[01:16] <kurbacik> anybody know how to configure PPTP in Ubuntu?
[01:16] <christopher> juano__, I found a driver and it's supposed to work 100%. (a ppd file)
[01:16] <kurbacik> what is needed?
[01:17] <Quintin> ubuntunewbie: and what does going to google and typing 'ipw2200 ubuntu' tell you?
[01:17] <juano__> christopher: and its installed ?
[01:17] <Jordan_U> megafauna: Use the right / left arrow keys to choose a channel and up and down keys to raise and lower the volume
[01:17] <megafauna> Jordan_U_  k
[01:17] <Plecebo> if my laptop is having trouble with display on the live cd what boot params shoudl i use? i tried vga=771 and i still get the boot up sound with no display
[01:17] <christopher> juano__, yeah pretty sure.
[01:17] <christopher> juano__, not 100% sure.
[01:17] <Plecebo> i can switch to a terminal ctrl+alt+f1
[01:17] <ubuntunewbie> Quintin, I looked at ubuntu guide and it said that if I want to use WPA, all I need is to install network-manager
[01:17] <juano__> christopher: ok, do you know the package name in synaptic ?
[01:18] <Jordan_U> Plecebo: Yes
[01:18] <seravitae> is there a channel for specific help with x server?
[01:18] <Hasrat_USA> okay folks here's another terrific problem: after an otherwise nice installation of ubuntu on my desktop (AMD 64 dual core 3000+ with 1024 MBs of dual-channel DDR2 ram and 160GB HDD) I experienced a rather anoying feature : my usb mouse (Logitech optical wheel mouse) stalls after some time. Unplugging the USB chord and re-plugging it instantly solves the problem. but again after a very few minutes it occurs again
[01:18] <bruenig> seravitae, this will do for the most part
[01:18] <christopher> juano__, cups web interface says this  "HP DeskJet 940C Foomatic/hpijs (recommended)"
[01:18] <Plecebo> Jordan_U, yes what?
[01:18] <juano__> christopher: you might wanna try a sudo apt-get install $drivername  , to check and be sure its installed properly
[01:18] <megafauna> Jordan_U_  hmm, still trying
[01:18] <seravitae> doubt it but ill try
[01:19] <juano__> christopher: ok, its detecting your printer fine
[01:19] <Jordan_U> Plecebo: You can switch to a terminal with ctrl + alt + F1
[01:19] <juano__> christopher: mm seems so though, is that the proper model ?
[01:19] <seravitae> bruneig - i just deleted nvidia-settings.rc, reset my xconfig to standard twinview because for some reason my X screen was 1280x1024 but my resolution was 1024x768 (i did *not* change this)
[01:19] <seravitae> so for some reason my entire display was scrolling.
[01:19] <elias__> where can i get libartsc0?
[01:19] <seravitae> now i'm back on standard twinview and im still vertically scrolling.
[01:19] <Jordan_U> megafauna: Use the m key to mute / unmute a channel
[01:19] <Plecebo> Jordan_U, oh i know, i was saying that i could do that... but how do i get some GUI goin? what can i do at the live cd to get that working?
[01:19] <seravitae> what the f** caused this and how do i stop it
[01:19] <christopher> juano__, up exactly the same as what's on the printer
[01:19] <megafauna> Jordan_U_  k /trying the mute
[01:19] <juano__> christopher: goo then
[01:19] <juano__> christopher: good*
[01:20] <juano__> christopher: mm maybe some settings at printing time
[01:20] <megafauna> Jordan_U_  :-DDDDDDDD

[01:26] <Jordan_U> !alien | Comrade-Sergei_
[01:26] <ubotu> Comrade-Sergei_: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)

[01:31] <geemy> dont know
[01:31] <krasher> hey why security.ubuntu.com repository is so slow today?
[01:31] <nikin> Wrasher: everyone is downloading i think :D
[01:32] <Jordan_U> Comrade-Sergei_: That isn't an RPM
[01:32] <Comrade-Sergei_> Jordan_U yes it is a tar.z
[01:33] <Jordan_U> Comrade-Sergei_: tar.gz is not RPM
[01:33] <Jordan_U> Comrade-Sergei_: Just open it with login window preferences
[01:33] <Comrade-Sergei_> Jordan_U yes i know cant you use alien for that
[01:33] <Jordan_U> Comrade-Sergei_: No.
[01:34] <Jordan_U> Comrade-Sergei_: Nor would you need to
[01:34] <rmd_> krasher: look in the options somewhere... under something like "applications"
[01:34] <dalani> Is it "apt-get install package"(.deb)???
[01:34] <dabide> again (my pc keeps crashing..) my misery: i installed ubuntu server 6.10, but physically changed the network card after the installation, before everything worked fine and i could connet via ssh to the server, but afer the change of the nic the server doesnt get an ip-adress from the router, lspci shows it, ifconfig tells that he ip is <IP_ADDRESS> - i tried in etc/network/interfaces to set it from dhpc to: "iface eth0 inet static     adress 192
[01:34] <Jordan_U> Comrade-Sergei_: It is already in the format you need it to be
[01:34] <Comrade-Sergei_> Jordan_U how would you do it then
[01:34] <Comrade-Sergei_> i run ubuntu
[01:34] <Jordan_U> Comrade-Sergei_: Just open it with login window preferences
[01:34] <Comrade-Sergei_> how?
[01:34] <dalani> to install a single package.deb
[01:35] <dalani> Is it "apt-get install package"(.deb)???
[01:35] <bigtoyota479> anyone had problems with nForce 3 chipsets and sata HD's on install??
[01:35] <Jordan_U> Comrade-Sergei_: System -> Administration -> Login Window then click the Add button
[01:35] <Comrade-Sergei_> wait i know nm
[01:35] <shatrat> dalani, dpkg -i file.deb, but are you sure you cant find it in a repo somewhre?
[01:35] <Comrade-Sergei_> im a noob apparently
[01:36] <Ian-C> Howdy all!  I'm using Edgy on an x86 with a Rage128 video card.  I selected a screen saver that crashes X each and every time (though thankfully the machine stays up and the Cron jobs run - the reason I put the machine together).  How can I completely turn off the screen saver, or at least change it to one that doesn't crash.  I can't change it via the control panel aplet because that immediately invokes the crash
[01:36] <dalani> Shatrai no I downloaded the app
[01:36] <dougb> i have a problem, i did "sudo chmod -x /usr/sbin/dhcbd"  and "sudo chmod -x /usr/sbin/NetworkManager " to stop networkmanager from running, but now I want it back.  I've already tried doing chmod -X to both of them, but it still did not work.  any other ideas?
[01:36] <dyrne> dabide: the ip of your nic is <IP_ADDRESS>?
[01:36] <kk_> hi
[01:36] <krel> dougb: have you tried +x
[01:37] <shatrat> dalani, I realize, but if you could find whatever youre trying to install in a repository, either main or universe or multiverse, tahts a better solution.  If the .deb is the only source you can find, use dpkg -i to install it
[01:37] <dabide> dyrne: thats whats under "inet addr:" in ifconfig
[01:37] <jstarcher> os[Linux 2.6.17-10-386 i686]  distro[Debian testing/unstable]  cpu[1 x AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 150    @ 2.82GHz]  mem[Physical : 2026MB, 68.7% free]  disk[Total : 291.76GB, 78.60% Free]  video[nVidia Corporation GeForce 7800 GTX]  sound[]
[01:37] <Jordan_U> Ian-C: You need to edit some .desktop files, let me find a link to a thread that might help.
[01:37] <dalani> shatrat I downloaded a commercial package demo version
[01:37] <dyrne> dabide: are you sure thats not the loopback   lo device?
[01:37] <shatrat> dalani, I see, well dpkg is the way to go to install a .deb
[01:37] <dabide> dyrne: youre right, it is
[01:37] <dyrne> dabide: heh
[01:38] <dalani> shatrat thanks
[01:38] <dabide> so what am i doing wrong? :(
[01:39] <dyrne> dabide: what do you get if you type sudo ifconfig eth0 up; sudo dhclient eth0
[01:39] <Jordan_U> Ian-C: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=198809 Read through the instructions, you don't need to install xscreensaver since all you want to do is disable a screensaver
[01:39] <Ian-C> Jordan_U:  Thanks.  I knew I had to edit something, and Googled myself blue trying to find which files.
[01:40] <Naik0> Jordan_U: i think i know the problem, i checked /var/log/Xorg.0.log and it says something about /dev/wacom error
[01:40] <dyrne> dabide: should aquire an ipaddress
[01:40] <dyrne> dabide: assuming the router or whatever is accepting dhcp req
[01:40] <dabide> dyrne: ficonfig eth0 up: error, no such device
[01:41] <dabide> dyrne: i dint make any changes to the server after i changed the nic
[01:42] <dyrne> dabide: what is your configuration? like isp --> router --> computer ?
[01:43] <dabide> dyrne: its not a router problem, i just checked on my windows pc, the dhpc adress assigning works
[01:43] <dougb> if my question was answered, i missed it because my computer froze
[01:43] <dyrne> dabide: cat /etc/iftab or ifconfig -a  what is your device name? eth1?
[01:43] <Jordan_U> Ian-C: By the way, you should send a bug report about that screensaver
[01:44] <dabide> ha.. "eth3"
[01:44] <dyrne> dabide: is that the only nic on the computer youre using?

[01:45] <au_>  if [[ $num -eq ${nej[$a] }] ] ; then echo "ahoj"; fi - why it doesn't work?

[01:46] <dyrne> dabide: sudo nano /etc/iftab  remove the other lines and assign the current eth3 mac address to eth0, you dont need to but it will avoid confusion.
[01:46] <dyrne> dabide: or just go ahead and sudo ifconfig eth3 up; sudo dhclient eth3
[01:47] <Ian-C> Jordan_U:  From what I've read, the fact that several of the 3D screen savers crash X is fairly well known - do you think they really need the Bug Report?
[01:47] <Mazz> would anyone be able to help with VGA ---> Composite using an nvidia card? all i get is a black screen
[01:48] <greg_> hi
[01:48] <Jordan_U> Ian-C: I don't know *shrug* use your own judgement
[01:48] <bogdan> fete ? :P
[01:48] <dyrne> dabide: then do sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces and add the lines auto eth0 and the next line iface eth0 inet dhcp
[01:49] <greg_> how do i open gparted?
[01:49] <Jordan_U> Mazz: Do you have the Beta nvidia drivers installed?
[01:49] <Get_A_Fi1> good day all. would this be the place to ask for help adding a second video card, P4 and Ubuntu 6.06 ?
[01:49] <Jordan_U> greg_: On the LiveCD?
[01:49] <macrin> hi all,
[01:49] <Mazz> do not know Jordan
[01:49] <bogdan> hi
[01:49] <Mazz> would that make a difference?
[01:49] <dabide> dyrne: thx alot, its now working
[01:49] <dyrne> dabide: np
[01:49] <macrin> i have problem with frequency on nvidia ubuntu 6.10
[01:49] <greg_> no from installed ubuntu
[01:49] <Jordan_U> Mazz: Yes
[01:49] <Mazz> how can i tell?
[01:50] <dabide> bye
[01:50] <Mazz> it works fine with a normal monitor and stuff
[01:50] <Mazz> just doesnt on the tv
[01:50] <macrin> maybe there is somebdoy that can help me resolve this problem
[01:50] <Mazz> the little "composite" icon at the top is moving around
[01:50] <jmalone68> Hello all.  Any LTSP experts in the building
[01:50] <Mazz> but a black screen
[01:50] <BHSPitLappy> Hi all.
[01:50] <Jordan_U> Mazz: Are you trying to install Beryl /compiz?
[01:51] <Mazz> Nope
[01:51] <jmalone68> I need help with auto login on Linux Terminal Server under Ubuntu
[01:51] <Jordan_U> Mazz: Oh, sorry, I misunderstood when you said composit, I was thinking composited Window manager :)
[01:51] <BHSPitLappy> I'm seeking a way to be able to use this laptop so that I can connect to a Wifi network, and then connect an ethernet (crossover, maybe?) cable between it and another computer, thus giving that computer internet access.
[01:52] <Mazz> ah nono :)
[01:52] <BHSPitLappy> Any suggestions for getting this done, software-wise?
[01:52] <Mazz> using vga --> composite for hdtv
[01:52] <Mazz> im thinking it might be the refresh rate
[01:52] <sebrock> does anyone know how to change the volume keys on my keyboard to the same volume as the one in the upper right corner?
[01:53] <dougb> network-manager isn't running for me
[01:53] <ulysses> Hello everybody
[01:53] <ulysses> I'm jsut curious
[01:53] <ulysses> What OS does everybody here use?
[01:54] <betatux> msdos
[01:54] <Jordan_U> ulysses: I think most probably use Ubuntu ;)
[01:54] <DARKGuy> Windows 3.1
[01:54] <ulysses> If you're gonna use DOS, use FreeDOS
[01:54] <Jordan_U> MS bob
[01:54] <DARKGuy> haha
[01:54] <jmalone68> Trying like mad to get Ubuntu to do what I want!
[01:54] <betatux> Atari
[01:54] <ulysses> but seriously, I'm jsut trying to be a moron
[01:54] <DARKGuy> AmigaOS (?)
[01:54] <th1> can anyone help me how to change the default browser in KDE with Ubuntu/edgy?
[01:55] <bruenig> th1, what are you trying to change it to
[01:55] <th1> firefox from konquerir, bruenig
[01:55] <Doug52392> hello
[01:55] <bruenig> th1, sudo update-alternatives --set x-www-browser /usr/bin/firefox
[01:55] <greg_> ulysses, :O
[01:55] <blackduck3> Hello
[01:55] <bruenig> !hi | blackduck3
[01:55] <ubotu> blackduck3: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[01:55] <DARKGuy> Okaaaaay what the hell? my right screen just got a right shift and I had to scroll it back to the left, o_O!
[01:57] <Doug52392> I got a question about Ubuntu
[01:57] <th1> bruenig thanks, that worked! ..
[01:57] <bruenig> yes I figured it would
[01:57] <th1> but some people in #kde said it should be in KControl under Components, but it wasn't there
[01:57] <bruenig> !justask | Doug52392
[01:57] <ubotu> Doug52392: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:57] <Dame> Ive inserted new PCI sound card (my previous one was on-board) and now I have sound randomly. Sometimes when I boot I have sound on the on-board card and sometimes on the new PCI card. I want to have sound on both of them every time. What I need to do?
[01:57] <mahound> hey
[01:57] <Sergo> who know an good video player
[01:57] <bruenig> totem
[01:57] <DARKGuy> Sergo: Totem, VLC
[01:58] <bruenig> !media players
[01:58] <Doug52392> How do I install Ubuntu with Windows XP all ready installed and dual-boot between the 2 operating systems?
[01:58] <DARKGuy> Mplayer too
[01:58] <ubotu> Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Banshee, Beep Media Player, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine  -  See also !codecs
[01:58] <th1> sergo depends what you want to play and what you have if it is amd64 or i386
[01:58] <Sergo> totem cannot play .wma
[01:58] <mahound> i'm having trouble installing gentoo in an lg laptop with a sata hd
[01:58] <DARKGuy> !wma
[01:58] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[01:58] <mahound> *ubuntu, sorry
[01:58] <th1> Sergo, but it can if you install w32-codcs
[01:58] <Sergo> i386
[01:58] <redguy> Dame: disable you onboard sound card in your BIOS?
[01:58] <sebrock> ?? where is the keyboard mapping located?
[01:58] <bruenig> Doug52392, go through the installer on the ubuntu live cd and let it partition for you. It will set up the dual boot and after everything is installed, you will be able to choose when you boot which OS
[01:58] <mahound> "ata1: port reset"
[01:58] <Poromenos1> why do I get a  "cannot find encoder MPEG AAC Audio" error when i try to encode with ffmpeg?
[01:59] <Dame> redguy, I cant get sound on both of them?
[01:59] <anevelos> Hi room
[01:59] <bruenig> !hi | anevelos
[01:59] <ubotu> anevelos: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[01:59] <Doug52392> so it does not reformat the hard drive, just resizes the current partition?
[01:59] <anevelos> All of a sudden I am not able to download updates
[01:59] <shatrat> Dame, there may be a way to do that, but I dont know it and it would be unusual, Youd have to do some reading
[01:59] <redguy> Dame: you didn't say you wanted sound on both of them
[01:59] <bruenig> Doug52392, right if you pick the second option that says it will resize
[01:59] <SilentDis> hello
[02:00] <redguy> Dame: sure you can
[02:00] <lordkeiden> has anyone had a bad experience with HP tech chat? I am conference calling with a rep from executive support on monday about their web support, and would like other cases besides my own. If you have the email of the chat history they usually send after the chat, that is best.
[02:00] <_siegfried_> I have a new ubuntu installation and I want to print an open office document. I have added my printer but nothing happens when I print from open office.
[02:00] <th1> Doug52392, as long as you don't have converted your XP disk to a "Dynamic Disk" then you can resize the XP partition with the ubuntu installer
[02:00] <anevelos> I must have done something
[02:00] <shatrat> Doug52392, it resizes the NTFS partition, and then creates and formats 2 partitions on the empty space
[02:00] <bruenig> !offtopic | lordkeiden
[02:00] <ubotu> lordkeiden: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[02:00] <DJNOVA2006> has anyonde tired out herd4? Im downloading it now
[02:00] <Dame> redguy, I said i want that but ok. How I get sound on both?
[02:00] <LjL> tired out? as in, stress testing?
[02:00] <shatrat> DJNOVA2006, try #ubuntu+1
[02:00] <DJNOVA2006> any testing?
[02:01] <anevelos> I get an window on the toolbar that says Starting Administration Application
[02:01] <anevelos> but the window closes
[02:01] <Doug52392> does it automaticly set the dual boot up?
[02:01] <redguy> Dame: hmm that's not very easy as far as i know
[02:01] <bruenig> anevelos, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[02:01] <Dame> !sound
[02:01] <anevelos> bueno
[02:01] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[02:01] <bruenig> Doug52392, essentially yes, just check the right option
[02:01] <blackduck3> I am running ubuntu on a PowerBook G4. i want to know how to boot from disk i am trying to put Dreamlinux
[02:01] <x-5t4t1c> here goes: I have two HD's one had 1 partition with winxp, 2nd had 6 partitions 1 ntfs, 1 swap, 1 root (ubuntu) and some empty ones, i lost access to my 2nd drive and have bad superblocks, but formatted and installed ubuntu on the 1st one. any ideas?
[02:02] <shatrat> Doug52392, and remember to defrag first, and back up just in case
[02:02] <th1> bruenig, regarding that answer you gave me before.. how to set default browser.. where could I have found that out, without asking?
[02:02] <Doug52392> ok, thanks.
[02:02] <bruenig> th1, don't know, someone told me in here is how I found out
[02:02] <th1> heh ok, thanks :)
[02:03] <Get_A_Fi1> hello
[02:03] <anevelos> bruenig: I tried that in a terminal but got an error
[02:03] <bruenig> anevelos, well paste the error, if it is long use pastebin
[02:03] <bruenig> !pastebin
[02:03] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[02:03] <anevelos> unable to lookup vaio-laptop via gethostbyname()
[02:03] <redguy> Dame: www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/ lofiversion/index.php/t48385.html might help you
[02:04] <DJNOVA2006> my screen res has only one option in 6.10, i only get 640*480 how can i increase it? Is there a driver out there? Its just a standard graphics card built into the motherboard
[02:04] <SilentDis> while I know many of you DON'T have this bit of hardware... I'd appreciate it if someone could look over the work I did on the Ximeta Netdrive Wiki, for installing in Ubuntu 6.10.  Please tell me if there's glaring problems: http://code.ximeta.com/trac-ndas/wiki/Ubuntu6.10
[02:04] <bruenig> anevelos, odd error, never seen that before. Sounds like a local problem
[02:04] <x-5t4t1c> any one know a good program i can run on linux for data recovery? i cannot access partitions on a drive (bad superblocks)
[02:04] <redguy> darn /me has to remember not to tell people that thigs are not easy
[02:04] <anevelos> ok thanks
[02:05] <redguy> x-5t4t1c: giving us the filesystem type might hel helping you
[02:05] <Flamekebab> I know it's not entirely ubuntu related, but how would I go about adding a command to Firefox to open links intended for Windows? (in this case, the link is xfire:get_game_rig)
[02:05] <x-5t4t1c> it's the whole drive, ext2, ext3, ntfs
[02:06] <Naik0> hey my gdm couldnt write to my authority file, so i cant login to any session
[02:06] <Naik0> how do i fix this?
[02:06] <DARKGuy> DJNOVA2006: try running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver", following the instructions there will help you to choose other resolutions (it will be best to do it out of X, inside a tty terminal)
[02:06] <x-5t4t1c> not the whole drive, sorry, i have access to a swap partition on there
[02:06] <bruenig> Naik0, can you get to tty and delete it
[02:06] <DARKGuy> DJNOVA2006: erm, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:06] <shatrat> Flamekebab, well, to do that youd have to be running xfire
[02:06] <Poromenos1> anevelos: it's probably that ubuntu doesn't do wins resolution
[02:06] <SilentDis> x-5t4t1c, I think what he was looking for was a pastebin output of this command:  sudo fdisk -l /dev/drive (where drive is hdb or whereever it's located)
[02:06] <sebrock> please anyone help me with this
[02:06] <Naik0> bruenig: is it .Xauthority i should delete?
[02:07] <bruenig> Naik0, sounds like it
[02:07] <Flamekebab> shatrat, I know and I have it running under Wine
[02:07] <Flamekebab> it seems to work surprisingly well
[02:07] <Poromenos1> anevelos: try this: http://www.poromenos.org/node/53
[02:07] <sebrock> My multimediakeys for volume is changing the wrong volume, how do I change this???
[02:07] <Poromenos1> why do I get a  "cannot find encoder MPEG AAC Audio" error when i try to encode with ffmpeg?
[02:07] <shatrat> Flamekebab, there is an xfire plugin for gaim that works well, and you dont have to bother with wine
[02:07] <bruenig> Naik0, sometimes .Xauthority gets owned by root when you open graphical applications with sudo
[02:07] <Flamekebab> I know there is, but still, I'm trying to get it working with browser integration
[02:08] <x-5t4t1c> ok, how do i post that much info?
[02:08] <Flamekebab> and GAIM doesn't really cut it
[02:08] <Flamekebab> it's not IMPORTANT, sure, but it's a bit of a challenge
[02:08] <bruenig> !caps
[02:08] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[02:08] <rmd_> i want to define a custom thunar action to convert .flv to .mpg using ffmpeg.. but i can't quite figure out how to get it to work.  how to i make the output file have a different extention?
[02:08] <redguy> x-5t4t1c: the only reasonable thing that comes to my mind is dd
[02:08] <x-5t4t1c> what id dd?
[02:08] <SilentDis> !dd | x-5t4t1c
[02:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:08] <x-5t4t1c> what is dd i mean, i ran the fdisk item, and it gave 6 partitions for hdb
[02:08] <SilentDis> !info dd | x-5t4t1c
[02:08] <DARKGuy> That's contradictory, ubotu itself shouts when telling people to not to shout =P
[02:08] <bruenig> x-5t4t1c, do man dd
[02:08] <ubotu> x-5t4t1c: Package dd does not exist in edgy, edgy-seveas
[02:09] <shatrat> Flamekebab, I dont know how to do it exactly, but I think what you need to do is change the way that firefox handles xfire: links, but I dont know if theres a way to make linux firefox communicate with xfire in wine.  good luck
[02:09] <Naik0> how do i kill all x things
[02:09] <sparr> Naik0: including X?
[02:09] <Naik0> yepps
[02:09] <Naik0> something with 3
[02:09] <sparr> ctrl alt backspace
[02:09] <DJNOVA2006> Thanks DARKGUY, im going to ask what seems like a stupid question, how do i leave X to get to the terminal? Im a noob
[02:09] <x-5t4t1c> thank you, I'll try that dd
[02:09] <blackduck3> I want to install dreamlinux. i use a powerbook  g4. how do i boot it from cd ?
[02:09] <Naik0> sparr: no not that way
[02:09] <Naik0> inet 3 or something
[02:09] <sparr> init 3
[02:09] <Naik0> ok
[02:09] <bruenig> blackduck3, put the dreamlinux cd in
[02:09] <sparr> i dont know if that works in ubuntu...
[02:09] <DARKGuy> DJNOVA2006: Welcome ^^ that's easy, control + alt + F1 through F6 IIRC
[02:10] <Frogzoo> DJNOVA2006: ctrl alt f1-f6
[02:10] <SilentDis> Naik0, I run gnome... I use sudo killall gdm.  that'll leave you empty for all x stuff.  if you want to just restart X, it's ctrl-alt-backspace
[02:10] <blackduck3> Then ?
[02:10] <bruenig> blackduck3, it should boot
[02:10] <anevelos> Thanks all for the help and attention...adios
[02:10] <Flamekebab> cheers anyway, shatrat
[02:10] <redguy> DJNOVA2006: after that alt-f7 to get back to X
[02:10] <blackduck3> I done that nothing happens
[02:10] <sebrock> how do I change the default volume in alsamixer????
[02:10] <sparr> redbox: or alt-f8, if you have two X running
[02:10] <shatrat> blackduck3, reboot, i should boot from CD, if it doesnt you might need to hit F12 or something for a boot menu, or change the boot order in the bios, it will depend on your pc
[02:10] <bruenig> blackduck3, perhaps bad file or bad burn or maybe your computer and its hardware is not supported
[02:10] <blackduck3> do I need to write in a command?
[02:10] <sparr> sebrock: alsactl store 0
[02:11] <sebrock> spar, what does that do exactly? the zero?
[02:11] <DARKGuy> Actually, how can I run two X windows separately (so I can kill :0 and leave :1 running, or something like that) but allowing the mouse to navigage between the two ?
[02:11] <sparr> sebrock: first sound card
[02:11] <sebrock> sparr ^^
[02:11] <DARKGuy> *navigate
[02:11] <shiv> hi
[02:11] <sebrock> sparr, I only have one, thats not the problem. It's already set, but its a 5.1 card and the wrong volume is changed
[02:11] <Jackz> I'm using a 7800GT and whenever I go to boot any form of Ubuntu I get artifacts.  I've tried 6.06, 6.10, and even the text-only install of 6.10, which was a disaster.  The artifacts are bearable at first, but as time progresses they RAPIDLY get worse, and after only a few clicks the computer freezes. Any explainations?
[02:12] <redguy> DARKGuy: hmm x2x perhaps?
[02:12] <DARKGuy> redguy: x2x? never heard of it :p
[02:12] <blackduck3> Thanks
[02:12] <Naik0> gaah its not working!
[02:12] <DARKGuy> !x2x
[02:12] <ubotu> x2x: Link two X displays together, simulating a multiheaded display. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.27.svn.20060501-1 (edgy), package size 20 kB, installed size 76 kB
[02:12] <DARKGuy> Oh :o
[02:12] <DJNOVA2006> Thanks guys for your help im off to try it out.
[02:12] <sparr> DARKGuy: just the mouse?  that should work just by having two screens
[02:12] <DARKGuy> sparr: yeah, I have dual display set up, but sometimes I want to kill the primary monitor and leave the second running, but if I kill :0, :0.1 is linked to it so :/
[02:12] <sparr> sebrock: you lost me.  you already did alsactl store 0?
[02:12] <SilentDis> Jackz, i had a very similar problem on my machine.  it turned out to be really bad settings in my bios.  I do remember disabling FastWrite in BIOS went a long way to fixing it.
[02:13] <Naik0> why cant i login, it says gdm couldnt write to my authority file?
[02:13] <sparr> DARKGuy: ahh.  ok then, run two whole copies of X on :0 and :1 and use x2x
[02:13] <Jackz> SilentDis: So just disabling FastWrite in my Bios might fix it?
[02:13] <dimeotane> Anyone have recommendations for how to backup my system before I resize my partition?  There's so many methods out there:  tar, dar, partimage, dd, and others... I want something easy to restore and reliable... any suggestions?
[02:13] <bruenig> Naik0, it will involve I am pretty sure deleting some .directories, I am not sure which exactly. starting with .Xauthority I would think
[02:13] <DARKGuy> sparr: yeah, that's what I'm gonna do now that I know that x2x exists, thanks sparr and redguy :) gotta run!
[02:13] <atomiku`irssi> What is a good text editor with syntax highlighting n stuff?
[02:13] <fr500> is there a way to install ubuntu with lvm with the live cd installer
[02:14] <Naik0> bruenig: i did that..
[02:14] <sparr> dimeotane: doesnt help now... but next time, partition your system so that you dont lose anything when you reinstall
[02:14] <bruenig> atomiku`irssi, gedit
[02:14] <DARKGuy> atomiku`irssi: I like Kate :P
[02:14] <atomiku`irssi> gedit eh?
[02:14] <atomiku`irssi> never knew it had syntax highlighting
[02:14] <atomiku`irssi> one sec
[02:14] <bruenig> atomiku`irssi, saved with the right file extensions it does
[02:14] <Hasrat_USA> i accidentally typed modprobe -i | grep mouse and hit enter. what kinds of problems can it give it to me and how can i get modprobe back to its original configuration?
[02:14] <atomiku`irssi> Oh.
[02:14] <sebrock> sparr, I only have 1 soundcard and it is set. But when I enter alsamixer there is a lot of different volume controllers. So when I use the multimediakey for volume on my keyboard the wrong volume gets altered. This was the case with the volume changer on the upper right corner as well before, but that was easy fixed by right-clicking and changing it in prefs.
[02:15] <dimeotane> sparr: how do you do that?   I've got a 30g partition that I want to resize... what should I do to make a backup?
[02:15] <Jackz> SilentDis: So just disabling FastWrite in my Bios might fix it?
[02:15] <redguy> dimeotane: this is just too easy: cp -a <path> ?
[02:15] <dimeotane> Just incase i screw up my ubuntu system
[02:15] <atomiku`irssi> Ill give kate a look as well
[02:15] <Naik0> bruenig: i did delete .Xauthority
[02:15] <Naik0> still not working
[02:15] <sparr> sebrock: find out what is catching your keyboard events
[02:15] <bruenig> Naik0, well what is next, does anyone know, is it .gnome
[02:15] <SilentDis> Jackz, as I said, that's what got me stability back.  I can't remember all the options I changed though, it was a while ago.  sorry
[02:15] <redguy> darn
[02:15] <sebrock> sparr, w8 I might have found a solution
[02:15] <sparr> dimeotane: you shouldnt resize :-p
[02:15] <redguy> cp -a <old_path> <new_path>
[02:16] <Naik0> bruenig: delete .gnome directory?
[02:16] <Jackz> Alright, I'll try just the FastWrite to begin with.  If that doesn't work, I'll be back!
[02:16] <atomiku`irssi> okay
[02:16] <atomiku`irssi> ill try kate
[02:16] <atomiku`irssi> thanks
[02:16] <Naik0> maybe i can remove and install gdm again
[02:16] <bruenig> Naik0, I have never had this problem, I have seen others solve it by deleting some .directories. I don't know which, maybe somebody else does.
[02:16] <dimeotane> redguy: cp is better than : tar, dar, rsync ... any reason why?
[02:17] <sparr> atomiku`irssi: kate is by far the best gui editor ive found for linux for general purpose editing.  it isnt the best at any one thing but it does a lot of things well.  also, it uses embeddable KDE controls for the editor, the browser, the terminal, etc...  so its easy to extend
[02:17] <dimeotane> sparr:  what do you suggest I should do if I'm runninng out of room, instead of resizing?
[02:17] <sebrock> sparr, ok so the straight question is how do I change which of the volumes in alsamixer is set to default. By that everything will work out
[02:17] <sparr> dimeotane: what is the partition for?
[02:17] <dimeotane> ubuntu
[02:17] <sparr> dimeotane: your root?
[02:17] <dimeotane> yup
[02:17] <sparr> dimeotane: move /home to its own new partition
[02:17] <redguy> dimeotane: well, it's on every reasonable rescue cd......... and even in most initrds :-)
[02:17] <Naik0> bruenig: do you think it will work if i remove gdm and install it again?
[02:18] <bruenig> Naik0, no
[02:18] <sparr> sebrock: i dont think alsamixer has anything to do with your problem
[02:18] <Naik0> ok
[02:18] <dimeotane> sparr: didn't know that was possible!  cool..
[02:18] <bruenig> the config file will still be there, maybe if you purge it could work, but still not certain there either
[02:18] <Frogzoo> atomiku`irssi: emacs does everything
[02:18] <Hasrat_USA> can anyone please answer this question: i accidentally typed modprobe -i | grep mouse and hit enter. what kinds of problems can it give it to me and how can i get modprobe back to its original configuration?
[02:18] <Naik0> maybe delete .gnome*
[02:18] <GMWeezel> Is there a theme manager for Ubunutu to remember my panel positions, transparency, background, icon set, window style, etc.?
[02:18] <sparr> dimeotane: make a new partition.  close everything but one shell, copy your home to the new partition.  edit fstab to mount the new partition as /home.  move the old contents of /home out of the way.  mount the new /home.  enjoy
[02:18] <atomiku`irssi> Frogzoo: I'll try emacs as well, thanks :)
[02:18] <redguy> emacs can do emacs...
[02:19] <dimeotane> thx guys for all the great suggestions... the ubuntu support community is always so inspiring
[02:19] <spookyx> well  i have to say,  i like ubuntu  i have been running freebsd for many years,  switched to ubuntu because i needed flash and newer java for some development work i am doing  :D
[02:19] <sparr> dimeotane: any folder can be mounted from its own partition.  /home is the first choice, and the best, because its the one you most want to preserve if/when you reinstall the OS
[02:19] <shatrat> GMWeezel, Im not sure what you mean, it should remember all that stuff automatically between log ins
[02:19] <Frogzoo> !gnome-art | GMWeezel
[02:19] <ubotu> gmweezel: gnome-art: install GNOME themes from art.gnome.org. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2-3 (edgy), package size 26 kB, installed size 200 kB
[02:19] <sparr> dimeotane: /boot on its own partition is nice if you do weird multi-OS things.  /opt on its own partition was popular back when a lot of software installed there, not so much any more
[02:19] <sebrock> sparr, it would be one way of solving it. By simply changing which volume that gets altered as default. This is the exact thing I had to change for the graphical volume meter to work aswell, after install it was set to center and then I choose front and everything is fine... so I want to do the same thing with alsa
[02:20] <GMWeezel> shatrat: So I can save my settings for different looks; e.g. say one month I want a blue them or a red one; I dont want to have to manually change all my settings again.

[02:20] <sparr> sebrock: why do you think alsamixer is involved with your multimedia keys?
[02:20] <shatrat> GMWeezel, you could back up the settings files
[02:20] <GMWeezel> frogzoo: I need to manage profiles for custom settings.
[02:20] <sparr> Frogzoo: i wonder why kde isnt in the base install  :-p
[02:20] <GMWeezel> frogzoo: Not download new ones; e.g. automatically remember my background, icon set and window styles.
[02:20] <sebrock> sparr, honestly... that WOULD solve it
[02:21] <sparr> sebrock: what do you mean by 'default' in alsamixer anyways?
[02:21] <sebrock> forgett the multimediakeys, they >work< just for the wrong volume
[02:21] <Frogzoo> GMWeezel: system -> prefs -> theme
[02:21] <sparr> sebrock: when you press the mmkeys, some program gets run to change the volume.  i doubt that program is related to alsamixer at all.
[02:22] <GMWeezel> frogzoo: The background though.
[02:22] <GMWeezel> frogzoo: granted I'm probably just being lazy but...
[02:22] <Jackz> Ack. I couldn't find it. >.<
[02:22] <crimsun> sebrock: unless you use feisty (with the new hotkey configuration), you'd need to expose the correct control via alsa.
[02:22] <fr500> is there a way to install ubuntu with lvm with the live cd installer
[02:22] <Frogzoo> GMWeezel: gnome-art
[02:22] <shatrat> GMWeezel, i believe if you back up your .gnome folder and then restore it later it should revert all settings, or you could probably just back up certain files but I havent check what files save what settings
[02:22] <GMWeezel> frogzoo: also, that wont save panel placement, transparency or the background
[02:22] <sebrock> sparr, I have a 5.1 card, when pressing the keys the first meter gets changed which I dont have any output for anyway. So I need it to be for "Front Speakers"
[02:22] <Flannel> fr500: no, you need the alternate CD
[02:22] <crimsun> sebrock: in other words, we need more information. What's the lspci -nv output, and what's the cat /proc/asound/modules output?
[02:22] <sparr> sebrock: why are you talking about alsamixer?  you need to be working with the program linked to your mm keys
[02:23] <whonicca> i use imgburn via wine, how do i find the icon it uses on windows so i can assign the same icon to it under linux
[02:23] <Jackz> Anyone have a definate answer as to why when booting Ubuntu, even without it installed, I have artifacts, that within clicks become much worse, and freeze my computer?
[02:23] <Sergo> is the codec w32codecs required for playing .wmv ?
[02:23] <megafauna> Hi, my mp3 collection sounds really poor, should I be using a different decoder?
[02:23] <sparr> Sergo: not neccessarily, but usually.
[02:23] <crimsun> Sergo: for certain versions of wmv, yes.
[02:23] <bruenig> !quicktime | megafauna
[02:23] <spookyx> Jackz  bad video card or driver?

[02:23] <Frogzoo> GMWeezel: sys -> prefs -> session to save layout
[02:23] <bobofett> GMWeezel I think I know what you are saying and sounds like the best thing for you is to learn how to create new themes and styles and create some just the way you like it...save them and then you can swtich to them just like any other theme.
[02:23] <sebrock> sparr, that would works aswell, but the easy way would be to do the same thing with alsamixer as with the graphical volume changer, I know that this is implemented in 1.0.14
[02:24] <Sergo> i cannot play wmv, cannt install w32codecs, don't know what to do :(
[02:24] <crimsun> sebrock: eh, we made no such change in 1.0.14...
[02:24] <bruenig> Sergo, you can't install w32codecs?
[02:24] <megafauna> Thanks Uboto! U beautiful inamimate and inincarnate guru!
[02:24] <ninn> test
[02:24] <Frogzoo> @ninn
[02:24] <Jackz> Spookyx: It works fine with Windows
[02:24] <sebrock> see this crimsun: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=506741
[02:24] <Jackz> I can play graphics intensive games fine, but windows man..
[02:25] <Sergo> nope... the terminal says that sudo cannot return an valid version for it
[02:25] <sparr> sebrock: i think youre confused.  alsamixer has *NOTHING* to do with whatever is between your mmkeys and your volumes
[02:25] <Jackz> err Ubuntu, Man, it owns me
[02:25] <Sergo> something of this
[02:25] <GMWeezel> Thanks all; might end up writing something myself since there doesn't seem to be a one-app solution to remember panel placement, background and theme.
[02:25] <sebrock> sparr this goes for you as well: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=506741
[02:25] <sebrock> that is exaclty my problem
[02:25] <crimsun> sebrock: no, I know Tobin's work
[02:25] <spookyx> Jackz driver might not,  i had that problem with an nvidia card.  i loaded the nvidia drivers,  worked fine then
[02:25] <mark_> anyone know how to convert from an img file to an iso?
[02:25] <sparr> sebrock: that guy is confused too
[02:25] <Api984> this ubuntu is great
[02:25] <Jackz> Well
[02:25] <bruenig> Sergo, wget http://debian.nsu.ru/debian-marillat/pool/main/w/w32codecs/w32codecs_20050412-0.0_i386.deb sudo dpkg -i w32codecs_20050412-0.0_i386.deb
[02:25] <Jackz> Well
[02:25] <Api984> all my hardware works
[02:25] <bruenig> Sergo, do one and then the other
[02:25] <sparr> sebrock: alsamixer has nothing to do with your problem.  alsamixer is just ONE program that can adjust alsa mixers (not to be confused with alsamixer)
[02:26] <sebrock> sparr, well he solved it with 1.0.14rc1 anyways :D
[02:26] <Jackz> I don't have the ability to load them before it craps out
[02:26] <crimsun> sebrock: that work does not, at all, touch hotkey assignment
[02:26] <Sergo> ok
[02:26] <Api984> Xine LIB...
[02:26] <Api984> it has all codecs in...
[02:26] <sebrock> crimsun? did you read the post? He SOLVED it...
[02:26] <Illnor> stupid newbie question: i'm dual booting xp and ubuntu, whats the most efficient way to play all of the mp3s from my other hard drives?
[02:26] <megafauna> bruenig Thanks, I will check it out.

[02:26] <sparr> sebrock: he says he solved it.  and has a patch.  and then he never posted again for 3 months.  i doubt he solved it, and i know he didnt solve it doing anything with alsamixer
[02:27] <crimsun> sebrock: I _know_ his work; I'm the alsa maintainer for Ubuntu.
[02:27] <Music_Shuffle> lol
[02:27] <sebrock> whos work?
[02:27] <Jackz> Is there any way to load the nvidia drivers before even installing Ubuntu?
[02:27] <dredhammer> can KVM be compiled in Edgy or is it only for Fiesty?
[02:27] <crimsun> sebrock: Tobin Davis's.
[02:27] <crimsun> sebrock: aka GrueMaster.
[02:28] <sebrock> so this line: EDIT: Fixed with alsa 1.0.14rc1 is pure BS from barcode_linux?
[02:28] <gaspipe1> hey people
[02:28] <sparr> sebrock: ill try to make this simple...  your sound driver for ALSA provides a number of "mixers", controls for adjusting various channels.  the program named "alsamixer" provides an ncurses GUI for accessing the ALSA mixers.  *SOME OTHER PROGRAM* is being run when you press your mm keys, and THAT program is accessing the wrong ALSA mixer, which has nothing to do with the program named alsamixer.
[02:28] <spookyx> Jackz,  from console maybe
[02:28] <bruenig> !hi | gaspipe1
[02:28] <ubotu> gaspipe1: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[02:28] <crimsun> sebrock: you're not understanding the problem.
[02:28] <crimsun> sebrock: the problem is that the original pin-out/in configuration was wrong. He fixed it. It has nothing to do with hotkey "assignment".
[02:28] <Naik0> im going crazy
[02:29] <sebrock> hmm ok
[02:29] <bruenig> Naik0, try sudo chown -R username:username ~
[02:29] <Doug52392> Hi, I am trying to install Ubuntu, but the installer keeps freezing after I select "resize IDE1 Master, partition 1 (hda1) and use freed space" and select 14gb to free up.
[02:29] <sparr> sebrock: i think that the edit in that thread is just saying that the default mixer was changed for his driver in a new version of alsa.  you could post a bug and be patient and hope the same happens for your driver.
[02:29] <holycow> Doug52392, your using the live cd aren't you?
[02:29] <Jackz> Agh, I don't know how to use the console that well, mang!
[02:29] <Music_Shuffle> Ok, every new window I try to open...vanishes. Ideas anyone?
[02:29] <Doug52392> yes
[02:29] <holycow> lol
[02:30] <holycow> Doug52392, its VERY buggy especially at that part.  download the alternate cd and use the text based d-i installer.
[02:30] <sebrock> the card is in no way new, it's a 24-bit onboard Soundblaster
[02:30] <crimsun> sebrock: we've _already_ fixed it in feisty. The changes are too invasive to backport to current edgy - a stable release - so I haven't done it.
[02:30] <holycow> it works very well, its a mature piece of code
[02:30] <bruenig> it is more difficult for a newb though to setup dual boot that way
[02:30] <savant_> hm... can i mount my old windows harddisk somehow, to copy over some things? (ntfs)
[02:30] <mark_> Music_Shuffle: If it were windows, I'd tell you to reboot!  (but I'd still try a restart.  had that once)
[02:30] <rmd_> i'm trying to setup a custom action that converts flv to mpeg using ffmpeg.. but i cant quite figure out how to configure the action to chnage the file extension to for the output file entry
[02:31] <Frogzoo> !ntfs | savant_
[02:31] <ubotu> savant_: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[02:31] <sparr> savant_: sudo mkdir /media/hdz9 && mount /dev/hdz9 /media/hdz9
[02:31] <sebrock> thing is this: if I run alsamixer and then press my mmkeys only the first leveler gets altered, and I want the fourth leveler to alter :D
[02:32] <crimsun> sebrock: and are you running current feisty? ;)
[02:32] <gaspipe1> i saw on digg that the new version of ubuntu is out....
[02:32] <gaspipe1> anyone try it yet?
[02:32] <crimsun> gaspipe1: you mean another milestone.
[02:32] <sparr> sebrock: alsamixer is showing you the state of the mixers.  some other program is actually changing them when you press the keys.  go figure out what that other program is, thats step 1.
[02:32] <savant_> thx, Frogzoo
[02:32] <atomiku`irssi> So I wanna write a basic application in C++. I wanna make it have a GUI. How would I do this? Maybe theres some GTK libraries I have to use or something?
[02:32] <sebrock> crimsun, and the little graphical meter shows up as well
[02:32] <Sergo> does anyone know if the RealPlayer10GOLD is freeware ?
[02:32] <crimsun> Sergo: for certain connotations of "free"
[02:32] <Doug52392> do I have to burn the alternate CD, or can I just stick it on a flash drive, because I burned Ubuntu on the last CD-R i had.
[02:32] <gaspipe1> errr... brb
[02:33] <Jackz> Anyone have a definate answer as to why when booting Ubuntu, even without it installed, I have artifacts, that within clicks become much worse, and freeze my computer?
[02:33] <crimsun> atomiku`irssi: wxwidgets2.6, ultimate++, etc.
[02:33] <holycow> atomiku`irssi, gtkmm yes, or you can use qt with the pretty darned nice kde dev ide
[02:33] <Toki> does anyone know where the button/icon for the gnome shutdown applet is, or what package it comes in
[02:33] <atomiku`irssi> Okay, thanks crimsun. I'll do some googling
[02:33] <sparr> Jackz: have you run memtest from the live cd?
[02:33] <Jackz> No?
[02:33] <sparr> do
[02:33] <bruenig> rmd_, rename s/.flv/.mpg/ file
[02:33] <atomiku`irssi> So I just assume its pretty straight foward? Like making buttons? supply the x/y coordinates to some makebutton function or something lol
[02:34] <sparr> sounds like bad ram
[02:34] <Jackz> >.<
[02:34] <Jackz> Better not be.
[02:34] <BalsamicChicken> hello
[02:34] <Jackz> But I'll be back with the results.
[02:34] <crimsun> atomiku`irssi: depends on the toolkit [and api]  you use.

[02:34] <BalsamicChicken> Hi, How do i use command line to cd to a folder whose name has spaces in them?
[02:34] <holycow> Naik0, easiest solution: reinstall
[02:35] <rmd_> BalsamicChicken: use the "\"
[02:35] <sparr> BalsamicChicken: "foo\ bar"
[02:35] <Naik0> holycow: reinstall ubuntu?!
[02:35] <rmd_> ex: "/Program\ Files"
[02:35] <BalsamicChicken> rmd_ sparr, thx alot guys
[02:35] <sparr> BalsamicChicken: without the quotes...  or just "foo bar" with actual quotes  :)
[02:35] <bleanna_unux> how can i customize ubuntu to install only the packages i want during setup? i don't want openoffice or the multimedia apps...
[02:35] <bruenig> rmd_, that should change the file extension
[02:35] <BalsamicChicken> sparr cool thx
[02:35] <holycow> Naik0, why not?  you can spend days googling the solution to that or you can reinstall in 15 minutes
[02:35] <sparr> bleanna_unux: dont use the gui setup
[02:35] <sparr> bleanna_unux: and probably dont use the Desktop CD at all

[02:41] <holycow> which part? the part where everything is in the repo or the part where everything is in the repo?
[02:41] <bruenig> the part of google how parts come together

[02:43] <LjL> BalsamicChicken: there are characters that you need to escape. space and ! are such characters
[02:43] <LjL> BalsamicChicken: they can be escaped by prefixing a \, that is "\ " and "\!"
[02:43] <holycow> nothing to understand i wasn't talking to you, scroll up to see atomiku`irssi comments, i'm too lazy to copy paste and the topic is too wide for me to bother when google is out there (in regard to atmoks comments that is)
[02:44] <zen> alright, what's the point of the backport repos?
[02:44] <bobofett> lol hahah I thought the same thing bruenig I was watching this one unfold a bit....hahaha...damn internet missundersandings.
[02:44] <zen> Cause I added them temporarily, and they had a bunch of updates....
[02:44] <LjL> !backports > zen    (zen, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:45] <LjL> zen: you added repos without knowing what the point of said repos is? ungood.
[02:45] <holycow> zen, ubuntu releases only get security patches, sometimes new software needs to be backproted because it is important enough
[02:45] <Flannel> zen: usually with backports you just download and manually install, instead of adding the full repository
[02:45] <zen> LjL, I added them on them on the advice of Ubuntuguide.org, and considering they came from Ubuntu, I considered it pretty safe...
[02:46] <LjL> zen: they're generally pretty safe.

[02:46] <ubotu> jonathan__: Package/file libmp3lame does not exist in edgy
[02:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about liblame0-dev - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:47] <crimsun> !liblame-dev
[02:47] <ubotu> liblame-dev: LAME Ain't an MP3 Encoder. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 3.96.1-2 (edgy), package size 201 kB, installed size 540 kB
[02:47] <jonathan__> ?
[02:47] <Quintin> zen: I should think you need them off.
[02:47] <CapaH> Question, I cannot seem to apt-get install winesetuptk --- is there some other package I should get in its place?
[02:47] <Comrade-Sergei> is it possible to easily change the splash screen?
[02:47] <jonathan__> audacity sais that it uses lame to encode in mpe
[02:47] <LjL> !usplash > Comrade-Sergei    (Comrade-Sergei, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:47] <LjL> Comrade-Sergei: i wouldn't say "easily" perhaps
[02:47] <jonathan__> and this is  audacity
[02:47] <crimsun> jonathan__: libmp3lame.so is specific to the liblame-dev package.
[02:47] <Quintin> jonathan__: anytime you do something like that.. you will lose quality, fyi
[02:47] <crimsun> (it's a symbolic link)
[02:47] <Comrade-Sergei> LjL is it like a menu option or a kernal crack?
[02:47] <jonathan__> what is the best way to convert it
[02:48] <LjL> hm, that might be why the bot doesn't get it...?
[02:48] <jonathan__> i tried soundkonverter i keep getting an error
[02:48] <Meshyf> Hey guys I'm following this guide http://www.debianadmin.com/enable-wpa-wireless-access-point-in-ubuntu-linux.html   and it says to comment everything out. What does that mean?
[02:48] <LjL> Comrade-Sergei, it is what the bot said it is
[02:48] <Comrade-Sergei> i see that now
[02:48] <atomiku`irssi> so... What gtkmm do I have to install?
[02:48] <atomiku`irssi> Ive got alot of options here....
[02:49] <jonathan__> is it worth the quality loss crimsun
[02:49] <BalsamicChicken> LjL thx for the tips on "\", I found out I could use tab, which was easier for a newbie like me lol
[02:49] <BalsamicChicken> thx everyone, g2g for now
[02:49] <LjL> jonathan__: imho, not. converting a lossy audio format into another lossy one, for storage, is never a good idea.
[02:50] <headphase> hello
[02:50] <jonathan__> i was goign to convert it to mp3 usin soundkonverter with it set to high quality
[02:51] <zen> now, a bit of advice...
[02:51] <jonathan__> was going to convert it to wave or ogg in audacity
[02:51] <LjL> jonathan__: and the question is, why? you lose quality, you get a bigger file, and mp3 is patented too
[02:51] <zen> should I use Adobe's flash off the site, or UbuntuGuide.org's flash player instructions?
[02:51] <jonathan__> what should i convert my music too
[02:51] <jonathan__> flac
[02:51] <LjL> !flash > zen    (zen, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:51] <Comrade-Sergei> LjL not worth it
[02:51] <zen> Alright...I should try asking ubotu next time before y'all...

[02:52] <Meshyf> !comment
[02:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about comment - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:52] <jonathan__> what format should i convert it to then
[02:52] <LjL> jonathan__: if you feel you have to convert your lossily compressed files into something else, FLAC is probably the least of your evils.
[02:52] <headphase> I am having trouble getting my Intel 945 driver to work.  I have the code right in xorg and have tried 915resolution to no avail.  It seems like the resoultion is overriden when I boot up ubuntu.
[02:52] <LjL> jonathan__: who's saying you should convert them in the first place?
[02:52] <Meshyf> Hey guys I'm following this guide http://www.debianadmin.com/enable-wpa-wireless-access-point-in-ubuntu-linux.html   and it says to comment everything out. What does that mean?
[02:52] <cpk1> cant go wrong with flac
[02:52] <jonathan__> ok but i was doing that using a program but my audio files in windows ended up really big
[02:52] <holycow> headphase, did you make sure the correct resolution option is in your xorg.conf file?
[02:52] <jonathan__> ljl i have such a variety of formats i just want to uniform them into one format
[02:53] <cpk1> Meshyf: a line that starts with # is commented out
[02:53] <holycow> headphase, i've noticed on occasion 915 resolution doesn't modify xorg.conf properly
[02:53] <hossasaur> hey, why is it that when i type 'sudo gedit' at the terminal it just sits there and doesn't open gedit?
[02:53] <LjL> jonathan__: of course, FLAC is lossless -- that means files will be an order of magnitude bigger than MP3, WMA or Vorbis
[02:53] <Meshyf> cpk1: Thanks much :D
[02:53] <hossasaur> if i type gedit, it opens, if i type sudo gedit, it doens't
[02:53] <holycow> hossasaur, because you need to do gksudo gedit
[02:53] <jonathan__> so converting to flac is worth the size increase
[02:53] <LjL> jonathan__, rip them again. converting lossy->lossy is simply a stupid idea
[02:53] <LjL> jonathan__: i don't know if it's "worth" it. i know you won't lose quality
[02:53] <LjL> it's just like converting to PCM (i.e. WAV), but a bit smaller
[02:54] <jonathan__> couldnt i just convert them using soundkonverter to convert them to flac
[02:54] <hossasaur> holycow: it says authentication failed
[02:54] <headphase> holycow: I have tried booting up with both xorg modified and 915resolution modifed.
[02:54] <LjL> i don't know which formats soundkonverter supports. maybe.
[02:54] <atomiku`irssi> How do I install GTKMM?
[02:54] <holycow> hossasaur, ah thats something different.  i haven't ever heard of that
[02:54] <jonathan__> o
[02:54] <holycow> hossasaur, i won't be able to help :/
[02:55] <bobofett> The best thing to do jonathan_ is to get them again..rip them, download them whatever again in the format you want....but keep your player options wide too so you can play lots of different kinds of files then you don't have to worry about if some of mp3 or ogg or whatever.
[02:55] <bobofett> just my 2 cents.
[02:55] <jonathan__> it supports tons of formats flac being one of them
[02:55] <jonathan__> even itunes m4a format
[02:55] <imsocute> my beryl always crashes..i have ati 9250 series and i don't know where to find the fix....anybody?
[02:55] <jonathan__> ty ljl if i have any more questions ill be back
[02:56] <holycow> imsocute, wrong channel, try #ubuntu-beryl or #ubuntu
[02:56] <holycow> imsocute, beryl is very early and buggy piece of software
[02:56] <headphase> holycow: I have also tried setting to driver to i810 and vesa.
[02:56] <holycow> you should be expecting it to crash and of course it does
[02:56] <holycow> especially with ati video cards
[02:56] <imsocute> ohhh
[02:56] <Phrozen_One> how come sometimes I experience an "odd" menu list, such as you have to scroll through it to see everything listed in the menu, is it something related to gtk and redrawing of the menu?
[02:57] <holycow> headphase, how about this idea .... did you accidentally chmod your xorg.conf file to something other than ... what is it iagain ... root?
[02:57] <holycow> *hmm*
[02:57] <holycow> ah yeah root.root
[02:57] <headphase> holycow: I moded it in root
[02:57] <hossasaur> ok, when i'm testing my wpa_supplicant.conf, i get invalid cypher error messages
[02:58] <LjL> imsocute: it's so unstable and experimental that we have a separate channel for it and its friends, #ubuntu-effects
[02:58] <Toki> can anyone DCC me their  gnome-shutdowns from /usr/share/icons/gnome
[02:58] <holycow> headphase, i am guessing there is a permissions issue ... but i can't really help with that to be honest.  i don't feel like reasearching for you.  may i suggest a non answer ... reinstall?  it just might be faster than searching for a solution
[02:58] <headphase> holycow: I made a xorg_backup file as well
[02:59] <headphase> holycow: reinstall ubuntu?
[02:59] <dimeotane> headphase: you on a laptop?
[02:59] <headphase> dimeotane: yes, Intel Inspiron e1405
[02:59] <holycow> headphase, if its a permissions issue and your a noob its going to be hell tracking it down.  it just might be faster to reinstall yeah.
[02:59] <dimeotane> there's a i915 package that I recall needing to install when i put ubuntu edgy on my dell
[03:00] <headphase> dimeotane: I mean Dell
[03:00] <dimeotane> I think that gave me my full 1280 resolution
[03:00] <Spark> ubuntu seems not to be executing my .Xclients file
[03:00] <headphase> dimeotane: dri-Intel-3.4.3006-20051209.i386.rpm?
[03:00] <Spark> the permissions are 755
[03:01] <Spark> is there another name for this file in ubuntu? it seems to be completely ignored
[03:01] <dimeotane> sudo apt-get install 915resolution
[03:01] <Pelo> Spark,  can you expand on your problem ? what symptoms are you getting ?
[03:01] <headphase> dimeotane: ok, but I've done this 10 times before
[03:01] <dimeotane> youre using ubuntu right?
[03:01] <headphase> dimeotane: yes
[03:02] <headphase> dimeotane: dapper drake
[03:02] <dimeotane> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=326864&highlight=915resolution
[03:02] <Spark> Pelo: it's not being executed at all i think
[03:02] <Spark> no idea why
[03:02] <dimeotane> oh I'm on edgy.. I wonder if that's the difference?
[03:02] <Meshyf> !commands
[03:02] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[03:02] <Pelo> Spark,  you can try looking it up in the forum
[03:02] <Plecebo> why would i be able to log into x but switching to a terminal will not display anything but gibberish... is there a way i can get to a working terminal from the login prompt (ctrl + alt + f1 gives gibberish)
[03:02] <headphase> dimeotane: I've posted on there
[03:03] <headphase> holycow: could it be a bad iso file?
[03:03] <Pelo> Spark,  do you mean X isn't starting and you are not getting a GUI ?
[03:03] <holycow> headphase, sure
[03:03] <holycow> did you do a checksum on it?
[03:03] <Spark> Pelo: no it starts fine, it just doesn't execute ~/.Xclients
[03:04] <agnostic>  anyone using notebook HP 500 CM-350?
[03:04] <Spark> so my xset and xmodmap stuff doesn't happen
[03:04] <headphase> holycow: yes, it had a mismatch
[03:04] <holycow> time to download another methinks
[03:04] <dimeotane> theres a few more threads about this on ubuntuforums.org. ... search the 915resolution keyword
[03:04] <Toma-> Hehe. Automatix2 depends on an icon theme? :/
[03:04] <headphase> holycow: I can't find a good source to download
[03:04] <dimeotane> anyone use tuxcards?
[03:05] <Pelo> Toma-,  automatix installs restricted packages, themes shouldn'T realy matter
[03:05] <Toma-> Pelo: yeh i know. those bizarre packagers that made the deb made it depend on tango-icon-theme. weird!
[03:06] <dimeotane> I'm trying to find the icon for it... the .deb file doesn't install the package into the gnome menu...
[03:06] <Toma-> dimeotane: youll have to restart the gnome-panel...
[03:06] <shiv> I am using xchat-gnome and I am not able to open URLs from it. It says this "There was an error launching the default action command associated with this location."
[03:07] <Toki> can anyone point me in the direction of the gnome-shutdown icons?
[03:07] <Toma-> dimeotane: press Alt+F2 then run "killall gnome-panel"
[03:07] <holycow> shiv, may i recommend you remove that and just use xchat instead?
[03:07] <holycow> shiv, xchat now has a hierarchical view like xchat-gnome so there is no point in using it
[03:07] <holycow> and it actually works
[03:07] <shiv> holycow: Why? I like xchat-gnome some how
[03:07] <shiv> holycow: I see
[03:07] <holycow> shiv, because it doesn't work? :)
[03:08] <jonathan__> what other good audio converters r there
[03:08] <Spark> is anyone here succesfully using a .Xclients file?
[03:08] <jpoeta> anybody knows
[03:08] <jpoeta> HOW INSTALL GDM
[03:08] <LjL> !caps
[03:08] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[03:08] <shiv> holycow: I need to set autostart autojoin for channels, I can do that in xchat as well is that correct?
[03:08] <Spark> it's not the sort of thing that doesnt work
[03:08] <LjL> jpoeta: GDM is always installed by default on a normal Ubuntu
[03:08] <Pelo> jpoeta, http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/
[03:08] <Spark> it's only a script :)
[03:08] <Toma-> jpoeta: 'sudo apt-get install gdm'
[03:08] <jonathan__> ljl what other good audio converters r out there
[03:09] <Toma-> jonathan__: soundconverter works a treat
[03:09] <jpoeta> yes
[03:09] <holycow> shiv, of course.  xchat is a very old piece of software, xchat-gnome only appeared in the last year.
[03:09] <dimeotane> toma: so youre saying tuxcards should be installed from the .deb file into the menu?  I rebooted and it's not there...
[03:09] <jpoeta>  i know
[03:09] <Toma-> dimeotane: oh weird.
[03:09] <LjL> jonathan__, don't know, if i had to convert audio i'd probably just pipe a decoder into an encoder
[03:09] <Toki> can anyone tell me where the gnome startup script is, im trying to add beryl-manager to the startup
[03:09] <dimeotane> toma: you installed tuxcards?
[03:09] <Toma-> dimeotane: was it an ubuntu .deb file?
[03:09] <jonathan__> ya well its taking a really long time to decode the song its seems to be stuck at 14%
[03:10] <Toma-> dimeotane: no :) i dont run gnome either
[03:10] <dimeotane> toma: not ubuntu specfic
[03:10] <jpoeta> thanks
[03:10] <rio`> hi i installed ubuntu and try to get the nvidia driver from nvidia.com running
[03:10] <jpoeta> sorry
[03:10] <Pelo> Toma-,  a .deb file is a debian package,  they can be easily installed in ubuntu
[03:10] <rio`> but i always get "API mismatch"
[03:10] <jpoeta> but i dont skeak english very fluency
[03:10] <rio`> whats wrong?
[03:10] <Spark> sigh, i may just uninstall gdm and run startx
[03:10] <Spark> that works fine
[03:10] <Toma-> Pelo: thanks for the tip. sometimes debian packages dont respect the default .desktop locations in ubuntu.
[03:10] <jpoeta> anybody knows

[03:11] <Pelo> sorry
[03:11] <Toma-> dimeotane: try running "locate tuxcards | grep .desktop"
[03:12] <Toma-> thats assuming youve run 'updatedb' tho :)
[03:12] <dimeotane> sudo updatedb ?
[03:13] <Toma-> you bet
[03:13] <jpoeta> how i install a theme in gmd
[03:13] <jpoeta> ?
[03:13] <dimeotane> that locate command has been coming in handy lately
[03:14] <Toma-> it is quite quick
[03:14] <Toma-> jpoeta: run 'sudo gdmsetup'
[03:14] <dimeotane> why the  .desktop ?
[03:14] <unop> Toki,  gnome autostart or X autostart?
[03:15] <dimeotane> the icon is called tuxcards.xpm
[03:15] <jpoeta> apurate
[03:15] <Toki> gnome
[03:15] <Toma-> dimeotane: in all honesty, it might pay just to make a new one yourself
[03:15] <dimeotane> true
[03:15] <jpoeta> thaks
[03:15] <unop> Toki,  ~/.config/autostart -- and you need to create your entry in there -- create one in the GUI and follow it's template
[03:16] <Toki> thanks
[03:16] <dimeotane> still curious why you suggested the grep .desktop
[03:17] <Toma-> dimeotane: the deb file might have thrown the .desktop file into a different directory
[03:17] <Toma-> would have been a simple mv to get it fixed
[03:17] <dimeotane> .desktop files are where icons are located?
[03:17] <Toma-> that is assuming, that the packager actually included a .desktop file to begin with
[03:17] <unop> Toma-,  whats the name of the package you installed?
[03:17] <Toma-> .desktop files are the launchers
[03:17] <dimeotane> .local/share/applications/tuxcards.desktop
[03:17] <Toma-> unop: Nothing today :D
