[03:05] <psykidellic> Hello, I want to compile Sedna XML database from source and it requires GCC 3.3. It dosnt work with GCC 4.1. So I installed GCC 3.3. Do I need to install g++ 3.3 also? what is the most easiest way to change the compiler flags so that the makefile uses the correct version i.e. 3.3 for GCC and all related tools?
[03:05] <Megaqwerty> gnomefreak: "Cleaning up.../usr/bin/checkinstall: line 299: [: too many arguments"
[03:05] <macd> psykidellic, use the EXPORT=gcc operative.
[03:05] <jrib> eck: apt-cache policy package_name    may help but it is not the answer to your question
[03:05] <eck> psykidellic: you only need g++ if the app is written in C++
[03:05] <timfrost> eck: apt-cache policy package
[03:05] <Megaqwerty> gnomefreak: or is it?
[03:05] <cwoodall> hellcattrav: u can go to System->Preferences-Preferred Applications
[03:06] <gnomefreak> Megaqwerty: what are you trying to use it on?
[03:06] <psykidellic> eck, Yes. It has C++ code
[03:06] <dimeotane> evolocus: it may have something to do with needing to do a chkdsk in windows first before you are allowed to partition a NTFS... for the reason of keeping your data safe... that happened to me once
[03:06] <eck> and you _should_ be able to just set $CC to your gcc version, and if the make file isn't retarded it will work
[03:06] <gnomefreak> Megaqwerty: not all packages can use checkinstall
[03:06] <Megaqwerty> gnomefreak: the new version of gaim 2.0.0 Beta6
[03:06] <Comrade-Sergei> how can you format a ide hdd from a terminal?
[03:06] <psykidellic> eck, its a mix of C++ and C
[03:06] <doojin> Does anybody know how to specify the screen resolution of usplash?
[03:06] <eck> timfrost, jrib: thanks
[03:06] <cwoodall> hellcattrav: u can go to System->Preferences-Preferred Applications
[03:06] <macd> eck, when is the last time you saw a non-retarded makefile ;)
[03:06] <eck> macd: good question :-)
[03:06] <richw> I have a Rt2500 based wireless card and my wireless is running on channel 12. How do i configure the wirless reigion in the drivers so it can find my wireless network?
[03:06] <gnomefreak> Megaqwerty: gaim almost always errors with checkinstall
[03:06] <cwoodall> hellcattrav: sry (accident)
[03:06] <gnomefreak> Megaqwerty: if you are just installing it use make install
[03:07] <cwoodall> hellcattrav: ya do that and then change it their
[03:07] <eck> well, if it is written in C++ and uses stdlib or whatever they call it, you need G++
[03:07] <Strom_C> macd: maybe I'm just an idiot, but I can't find any init scripts that seem to autoconfigure X
[03:07] <Megaqwerty> gnomefreak: won't that conflict if I try to install it later from the repository?
[03:07] <efrancolaporte> alright it's updating firefox with whoever gave me that url witrh the script :-)
[03:07] <macd> Strom_C, one second, I'll locate it for you.
[03:07] <gnomefreak> Megaqwerty: if you need a deb that learn how to package :) or wait a few weeks and i might have a deb for it but im extremly busy with firefox and thunderbird
[03:07] <psykidellic> eck, thanks. I will install g++ 3.3 also and try
[03:08] <Strom_C> macd: thanks :)
[03:08] <gireesh> I have a problem with a new install of Feisty Fawn Herd 4
[03:08] <gnomefreak> Megaqwerty: yes depends on the version number
[03:08] <gireesh> is it ok to talk about it here?
[03:08] <geeksauce> how can i set a key bind that will lock my screen?
[03:08] <efrancolaporte> WOHOO IT WORKED :-)
[03:08] <Megaqwerty> gnomefreak: that's what I was asking. I wanted to know how to package.
[03:08] <Proghead> Ok searched a bit and I can't mount cd an dvd that I put in each of my drive and I seem to get the message : the drive is appear confused when I search in the terminal. I had get this error when booting too but it worked with irqpoll, I had read that once you booted with irqpoll you had to modify a file or something so maybe it's because of that it isn't working. Anybody have a clue?
[03:08] <efrancolaporte> thanks guys
[03:08] <evolocus> dimeotane, how did you solve your problem?
[03:08] <A1Mega> Windows forced me to use Ubuntu. Windooze locked and would not start. I loaded Ubuntu and presto. It's like I have a whole new computer.

[03:13] <soundray> Comrade-Sergei: find out the device name with 'sudo fdisk -l'
[03:13] <macd> Strom_C, I cant find it, mainly b/c its within the squshfs file (cant remember howto mount that :( )  ask in #ubuntu-devel
[03:13] <Thuggernaut> yo guys
[03:13] <Adydas> Boris_: gdesklets
[03:13] <Thuggernaut> i need advice
[03:13] <Strom_C> macd: thanks :)
[03:13] <Thuggernaut> are ATI's drivers really that bad?
[03:13] <Wuilliam> Boris_: HI, try beryl, use google
[03:14] <Thuggernaut> cause i want to get an ATI card for my rig
[03:14] <dominik> boris: beryl... www.beryl-project.com
[03:14] <Boris_> ok
[03:14] <dominik> might be .org
[03:14] <knoppi1> AlexLatchford: hey are you here
[03:14] <macd> Thuggernaut, they are not bad, but I dont think they are to par driverwise with Nvidia atm.
[03:14] <Adydas> Boris_: id better reccomend gdesklets

[03:14] <macd> personally I dont like either nvidia/ati b/c they taint ye kernel!
[03:14] <Thuggernaut> macd: how much do you think they will improve in the near future?
[03:14] <dml> Boris_: beryl ;).
[03:14] <megafauna> Hi, what is the ubuntu equivilent of kwrite?
[03:14] <Comrade-Sergei> chrissgee?
[03:14] <Frogzoo> Thuggernaut: ATI's attitude to FOSS is less than desirable. that said, for me, 3d, suspend, low power setting, glx screensavers all work fine
[03:15] <marten_71> hello everyone i have been trying to install vlc to see dvd but it dont work i have done wht they said in the faq
[03:15] <dominik> megafauna, gedit?
[03:15] <macd> Thuggernaut, since neither nvidia or ati have opened thier spec to linux developers, I cant say for sure.
[03:15] <Thuggernaut> what about beryl/compiz?
[03:15] <soundray> Comrade-Sergei: then partition with 'sudo cfdisk /dev/hdc'
[03:15] <Frogzoo> Thuggernaut: however the performance of the fglrx driver is like 50% of what you get under windows
[03:15] <Thuggernaut> is ATI good for the compositing managers?
[03:15] <macd> Thuggernaut, beryl and compiz thrill wear off after a few days ;)
[03:15] <Thuggernaut> ah ok
[03:15] <Wuilliam> :( i dont what happened. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6795/ (inj spanish)
[03:15] <Thuggernaut> so i should stick with nvidia?
[03:15] <megafauna> dominik  Thanks!
[03:15] <chrissgee> I have a broadcom 4311 wireless card that I can't get kubuntu to recognize. Are there any commands I can run to detect it?
[03:16] <dimeotane> chrissgee: you must be on a dell laptop?
[03:16] <chrissgee> yessir!
[03:16] <Comrade-Sergei> lol
[03:16] <dimeotane> see my post on ubuntu forums

[03:17] <Thuggernaut> ok thanks frogzoo, macd
[03:17] <soundray> Comrade-Sergei: 'mke2fs -j /dev/hdc1'
[03:17] <Thuggernaut> one more question
[03:17] <dimeotane> macd:  for the 4311 dell mini wireless card?
[03:17] <dominik> megafauna, i dont use it very often, bit it recognizes php, html and this things, doesnt it?
[03:17] <marten_71> anyone that can help me so i can see dvd on my ubuntu
[03:17] <soundray> Comrade-Sergei: sudo of course
[03:17] <Thuggernaut> would a 6200 be good enough for most basic functions on a low-end rig?
[03:17] <macd> dimeotane, any broadcom 43xx card.
[03:17] <linuxnewbie756> where is the folder that stores the .desktop things? i have an item in my menu alacarte won't stop from appearing
[03:17] <dimeotane> I had to blacklist the bcm 43xx
[03:17] <Varanger> Does anyone here have a ATI card??
[03:17] <Comrade-Sergei> oh
[03:17] <Frogzoo> soundray: you can just do mkfs.ext3 -T largefiles just btw
[03:18] <macd> dimeotane, did you use fwclutter?
[03:18] <dominik> Varanger: i have one
[03:18] <josh_> CFSWorks: can you point me in the right direction to fix my problem?
[03:18] <DoctorDoog> I can't find the page on ubuntu.com that has the less-common iso files, like the minimal CD
[03:18] <DoctorDoog> tried using the search
[03:18] <dimeotane>  macd: nope.. ndiswrapper is less work IMHO
[03:18] <Comrade-Sergei> soundray i actually forgot the sudo and it wasnt working, as i usually do a sudo su
[03:18] <chrissgee> My card isn't even showing up in NETWORKING after my KDE upgrade. How can I get it to show up? Won't I need to do that first?
[03:19] <dimeotane> although if it would make my card have monitor mode.. that could be worth it... fun ufn
[03:19] <kevCast> Someone, anyone, tell me why Tux hates me?
[03:19] <soundray> Comrade-Sergei: please don't. Use sudo -i instead
[03:19] <Frogzoo> Thuggernaut: sure, for basic desktop you don't need 3d - wine will work fine for older games too
[03:19] <soundray> Comrade-Sergei: and see what Frogzoo said
[03:19] <DoctorDoog> you're contributing to global warming, kevCast
[03:19] <ttyfscker> anyone here know of a good app for CPU benchmarking on newer model hardware?
[03:19] <soundray> Thanks Frogzoo
[03:19] <macd> dimeotane, well since the kernel has the bcm43xx driver now ndiswrapper is a level of abstraction that just complicates things
[03:19] <Comrade-Sergei> soundray whats the difference?

[03:19] <Thuggernaut> ok thanks frogzoo
[03:19] <Comrade-Sergei> soundray irs already doing yours
[03:19] <soundray> Comrade-Sergei: 'sudo su' gives you a mixed set of environment variables.
[03:20] <macd> dimeotane, of course thats just MY opinion.
[03:20] <Adydas> chrissgee: do you have kubuntu?
[03:20] <slv> can anyone tell me how functional Ubuntu is on a g4 laptop? will it detect everything alright?
[03:20] <chrissgee> yeah, they sent me here
[03:20] <dimeotane> macd:now that I have my new laptop working for a month.. maybe I'll play around with the bcm 43xx driver again
[03:20] <kevCast> DoctorDoog: Don't make me feel more guilty. The problem I'm having is so simple it makes me want to bash my face into a penguin. I downloaded the tar.gz of a theme, and the Ubuntu theme installer refuses to indentify it.
[03:20] <Adydas> who? go to #kubuntu
[03:20] <soundray> Comrade-Sergei: e.g. in 'sudo su', you might think that $HOME is /root, but it could still be /home/user
[03:20] <chrissgee> again, they sent me here
[03:20] <dimeotane> you know that impulsive technolust.. .that just wants it all working *now*..... =)
[03:20] <Comrade-Sergei> soundray now to mount it
[03:21] <chrissgee> I'm lost, hate to be the newb, sorry
[03:21] <macd> kevCast, that happens when the theme packager tars it improperly, or includes multiple subdirectories within it, you have to manually copy the theme or repackage it yourself.
[03:21] <fryfrog> can anyone explain "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXvMCNVIDIA" when the file /usr/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA.so.1 exists?

[03:33] <timfrost> Comrade-Sergei: you did 'mkfs.ext2 /dev/hdc' instead of
[03:33] <dominik> kevCast, or click ctrl+h in nautilus
[03:33] <timfrost> mkfs.ext2 /dev/hdc1.
[03:33] <Frogzoo> Comrade-Sergei: how far did you get?
[03:33] <macd> nonewmsgs, its be said that the nvidia drivers are easier to deal with.,

[03:35] <macd> chrissgee, did you goto the link I posted for you earlier?
[03:35] <Frogzoo> Comrade-Sergei:  have you created the partition?
[03:35] <Comrade-Sergei> Frogzoo and i appriciate it im just irritated when people just leave me hanging thats not the first time hes done that to me
[03:35] <Comrade-Sergei> yes Frogzoo
[03:35] <macd> Comrade-Sergei, everyone is a volunteer.
[03:35] <chrissgee> yeah, but it looks like that assumes the card is being detected
[03:36] <Frogzoo> Comrade-Sergei: so where is it?
[03:36] <verbose> chrissgee: is the interface listed in the output of ifconfig ?
[03:36] <timfrost> Comrade-Sergei: understood.  The mistake you made was to format the *disk* (/dev/hdc) rather than the partition (/dev/hdc1).
[03:36] <chrissgee> nope
[03:36] <verbose> how about iwconfig
[03:36] <chrissgee> nope
[03:36] <hellcattrav> does open office have adobe acrobat support, and how do i upgrade to the latest version of OO.o

[03:37] <royel> Comrade-Sergei: he's not paid to do this, an I seen a few of your replies, to me they looked like you were being a bit unappreciative, IMO.
[03:37] <chrissgee> yes
[03:37] <Comrade-Sergei> Frogzoo i believe so, can we do it all again?
[03:37] <Frogzoo> Comrade-Sergei: hope there was nothing on the disk you need

[03:37] <h4lfl1ng> i have an intel ac'97 audio card and my sound doesn't want to work, any suggestions?
[03:37] <macd> kevCast, well you need to ask the theme maintainer, were not themers.
[03:37] <bruenig> hellcattrav, it hasn't been packaged. oo releases in rpms, ubuntu uses debs. It takes time to repackage rpms, is there anything from the new version that you need
[03:38] <ozzloy> what do i need to apt-get for cross compiling to sparc?
[03:38] <Frogzoo> Comrade-Sergei: so what's the purpose of this disk?
[03:38] <bruenig> hellcattrav, you can compile the tar.gz
[03:38] <Thuggernaut> yo guys, does anyone have a ralink rt-61 based wireless card?
[03:38] <macd> ozzloy, the standard gcc compiler souite then use crosscompiling flags.
[03:38] <Comrade-Sergei> Frogzoo it was my laptops hdd till i got a new one, so i put it in as a hdd for more space
[03:38] <zpertee> how can I install asterisk from the comand line?
[03:38] <verbose> hellcattrav: also you can get the rpm and install it that way
[03:38] <kevCast> macd: Alright. I'll figure it out. mac, do you know anything about why the MTP support won't work with Amarok for me?
[03:39] <bruenig> zpertee, sudo apt-get install asterisk
[03:39] <ozzloy> macd: i tried gcc -march=sparc, and it says "sparc"'s a bad value
[03:39] <Frogzoo> Comrade-Sergei: first thing, 'sudo gparted' - create partition(s) and select ext3
[03:39] <verbose> hellcattrav: you just have to install rpm, or convert the rpm to a deb with alien if you want a middle man
[03:39] <bruenig> gksudo gparted
[03:39] <bruenig> aliening oo is probably not a good idea
[03:39] <Comrade-Sergei> Frogzpp thank god a gparted guy
[03:40] <verbose> bruenig: it's probably not a good idea to tell him to install from source
[03:40] <Comrade-Sergei> Frogzoo it says command not found
[03:40] <bruenig> verbose, better than alien
[03:40] <bruenig> oo is really big, a lot of room for problems there
[03:40] <verbose> bruenig: i think alien has a better chance of working
[03:40] <hellcattrav> my friend and i were trying to compare functionality OO.o writer  with mircosoft word
[03:40] <ecdcentre> anyone using irssi?
[03:40] <macd> ozzloy, then gcc for ubuntu isnt built with cross compiling support for sparc, youll need to build gcc from source.
[03:40] <Frogzoo> Comrade-Sergei: sudo gparted
[03:40] <bruenig> tar.gz has a 100% chance of working if you do it
[03:40] <Frogzoo> Comrade-Sergei: gksudo gparted
[03:40] <macd> alien really should not ever be used, its asking for a mess.
[03:41] <verbose> bruenig: hah! there's tons of error waiting to happen to a noob compiling from source
[03:41] <Comrade-Sergei> Frogzoo still a bad command
[03:41] <zpertee> what is window manager?
[03:41] <Omni> Ok guys, I disabled my raid array, and installed windows on one hard drive, and ubuntu on the other, but when I select ubuntu from the boot menu, it says it cant use the selected partition, any clues as to what I messed up?
[03:41] <Frogzoo> Comrade-Sergei: sudo apt-get install gparted
[03:41] <verbose> missing dependencies, different locations for libs and headers
[03:41] <bruenig> verbose, but those are user errors, thinks which can be remedied appropriately. With alien, the entire thing is out of your hands
[03:41] <PiNE> has anyone heard of the game Magnant it looks cool but i can find a deb anywhere.  it is based on the stratagus engine.
[03:41] <verbose> it's a pain in the ass, especially with big programs
[03:41] <bruenig> you alien it and pray
[03:41] <ozzloy> macd: could you lead me to doing that?
[03:41] <Comrade-Sergei> Frogzoo lol
[03:41] <verbose> my first suggestion was rpm
[03:41] <macd> ozzloy, I dont have that kind of time.
[03:41] <verbose> bruenig: and if alien works, great, why spend a couple of hours compiling
[03:41] <bruenig> verbose, not really, especially considering the fact that oo is already installed, so dependencies are likely to be met already

[03:51] <timfrost> ed_: just checked http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and it isn't there yet.  You may get better help on channel #ubuntu+1 for feisty
[03:51] <slv> iamUnique: the way i do it in here is ask then idle
[03:51] <tofoo> can anyone please help me
[03:51] <slv> eventually someone will answer my question
[03:51] <Comrade-Sergei> Frogzoo, verbose can i just have the whole thing
[03:51] <Chicory> No, no --
[03:51] <slv> if not, just repost it
[03:51] <slv> like this
[03:51] <slv> can anyone tell me how functional Ubuntu is on a g4 laptop? will it detect everything alright?
[03:51] <awilcox> Chicory: on what kind of partition?  normally fsck can do it
[03:51] <Chicory> It seems to think that the volume is corrupted.
[03:51] <Comrade-Sergei> Frogzoo this is fat32
[03:51] <Chicory> ntfs.
[03:52] <IamUnique> ive asked the same question for 3 days ina row and still no help or answer
[03:52] <Anon80118> How do i make a folder in terminal
[03:52] <Comrade-Sergei> Frogzoo, verbose can i just have the whole thing, to make it f00l proof?
[03:52] <bruenig> Anon80118, mkdir
[03:52] <verbose> Comrade-Sergei: sudo echo "UUID=9c06dd21-20fb-4e9a-812e-c3dcbe63ecb5 /work           ext3    defaults,noatime        0       2" >> /etc/fstab
[03:52] <Anon80118> thnx
[03:52] <Comrade-Sergei> thank you
[03:52] <verbose> Comrade-Sergei: that should be it
[03:52] <verbose> np
[03:52] <Chicory> Can I just uninstall ntfs-3g to get fsck to do it?
[03:52] <macd> IamUnique, b/c ubuntu doesnt support virtual pc 2007.
[03:52] <verbose> Chicory: did you fsck that drive?
[03:53] <Frogzoo> IamUnique: noone answers cos noone knows - how did you bork your machine?
[03:53] <Comrade-Sergei> verbose it says permission denied should i sudo -i it?
[03:53] <thedcm> bruenig: ! hows life
[03:53] <bruenig> ubotu, tell thedcm about bot
[03:53] <Anon80118> What do i do with wine when it gives me an error that says it cant open /dev/snd/seq
[03:53] <Chicory> Not to spam, verbose, but "fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006)
[03:53] <Chicory> fsck: fsck.ntfs-3g: not found
[03:53] <Chicory> fsck: Error 2 while executing fsck.ntfs-3g for /dev/sda1"
[03:53] <macd> Frogzoo, hes running ubuntu is MS Virtual PC 2007, I say he should contact support from MS. ;)
[03:53] <tofoo> im trying to write a program in xemacs, but for some reason, it says that 'If' was not declared in this scope when i try to make a conditional statement, why is that?
[03:53] <Frogzoo> Comrade-Sergei: you'd do best to read that wiki url
[03:53] <verbose> Chicory: unmount it
[03:53] <ryanakca> I just bought a new comp. It has windows XP. I have linux installed on this comp. I want to somehow get linux onto the new comp, and get the XP onto this one, so that I can sell it. How would I do that? IDE vs SATA HD...
[03:53] <Comrade-Sergei> omg
[03:53] <verbose> you shouldn't fsck mounted partitions anyway
[03:54] <Comrade-Sergei> why cant it just MOUNT!!!
[03:54] <macd> ryanakca, use ghost to image the drives.
[03:54] <Chicory> verbose: I tried that.
[03:54] <royel> IamUnique: it's not even that ubuntu supports or not, your asking for help with a product that is well beyond the scope of help that is provided in this channel.
[03:54] <zpertee> ubuntu is horrid everything that I need to install is marked as installable
[03:54] <Thuggernaut> why should you not fsck mounted partitions?
[03:54] <ryanakca> macd: hmm... thanks :D
[03:54] <Chicory> verbose: In fact it IS still umounted.
[03:54] <verbose> Comrade-Sergei: it shouldn't matter
[03:54] <IamUnique> im just asking cause other people might of experinced the same problem and they might know the answer, u know...
[03:54] <Frogzoo> Comrade-Sergei: read the wiki page from ubotu ^^
[03:54] <aflack> !pastebin
[03:54] <awilcox> ryanakca: do they have the same basic drivers?  otherwise ghosting will be problematic
[03:54] <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)
[03:54] <bruenig> zpertee, explain your problem a bit better
[03:54] <Comrade-Sergei> verbose what wiki?
[03:54] <Anon80118> What do i do with wine when it gives me an error that says it cant open /dev/snd/seq? i tried making seq but it's not supposed to be a directory
[03:54] <macd> IamUnique, did you try the google yet ;P
[03:54] <Omni> I'm working on dual booting ubuntu and vista, I wish I could make it just ubuntu, but cedega sucks harder than paris hilton
[03:55] <darranx> what's up everyone!!!!
[03:55] <royel> IamUnique: try searching the ubuntu forums or googling, you might have more luck that way.. sorry :)
[03:55] <dimeotane> macd: why ghost and not dd or partimage?
[03:55] <darranx> UBUNTU OWNS!!!!
[03:55] <macd> !patience > Anon80118
[03:55] <ryanakca> awilcox: well... NVidia vs ATI... IDE vs SATA... but Windows XP should have both drivers in it by default
[03:55] <st3v3dnd> Frogzoo: I read through the forums, but the people's problems there are stemming from firewire issues. Everyone with USB says that it automounts, or is at least detected. My ipod doesn't even seem to be known anywhere in /dev when I plug it in
[03:55] <verbose> Comrade-Sergei: what wiki? what does that mean
[03:55] <macd> dimeotane, might be a bit hard to dd on a windows box.
[03:55] <Anon80118> sorry, i just wanted to rephrase my question a bit
[03:55] <aflack> Okay
[03:55] <aflack> I put the bottom of the .dump in pastebin
[03:55] <macd> dimeotane, not to mention ghost is alot more friendly.
[03:55] <aflack> It's the sigkill crap.
[03:56] <ryanakca> macd: have a link to a free ghost app?
[03:56] <Comrade-Sergei> omg sorry to be rude verbose but isnt there just a simple "mount /dev/hdc command for this?
[03:56] <Ardnit1> would someone PLEASE help me install this shell script?
[03:56] <macd> ryanakca, ghost4linux is free.
[03:56] <macd> err ghost4unix
[03:56] <bruenig> Ardnit1, you don't install shell scripts, you just run them
[03:56] <aflack> Frogzoo; You and someone else told me yesterday to pastebin the firefox.dump, it's a rather large file..
[03:56] <Omni> just a random question guys. Does Ubuntu optimize dual core, or is it single core optimized?
[03:56] <Ardnit1> double click or type a command somewhere?
[03:56] <zpertee> bruenig: when I type sudo apt-get install kdesktop it lists the dependencies for the application and next to each one it says "but it is not installable" never seen anything like it
[03:56] <aflack> So I pasted the part where it has the error.
[03:56] <ryanakca> macd: and... I.. just burn it to the CD... and then I can ghost the Windows install... and then... what do I do? boot from the CD to copy the windows image to the new HD?
[03:56] <dockane_> hi all.. just installed from an ubuntu 6.06 alternate (former breezy installation, formated the partition with /) but grub keeps hanging with error 21 - no such partition. the boot hd is sda1, SCSI hd attached to an adaptec2940 UW. did i miss somthin for the scsi hd?
[03:56] <bruenig> zpertee, you didn't by chance use automatix did you
[03:56] <macd> ryanakca, ideally you would stick your windows disk in your linux machine, ghost it, redeploy it and then deploy your linux ghost image back to your empty windows drive.
[03:57] <verbose> Comrade-Sergei: you can just mount it but it won't hold up across reboots
[03:57] <ryanakca> macd: kk... thanks
[03:57] <verbose> adding that line to fstab makes it mount at boot
[03:57] <kitche> Omni: both depends what you install and such
[03:57] <Comrade-Sergei> verbose ok can i pm you?
[03:57] <aflack> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6805/
[03:57] <IamUnique> which wmware program is for virtual destops?
[03:57] <aflack> Can anyone tell me how to fix that?
[03:57] <ryanakca> macd: is there a way I can do it from a bootable CD?
[03:57] <verbose> Comrade-Sergei: sure
[03:57] <zpertee> bruenig: pretty sure not.  All I've done so far is stick the installation cd in and follow the instructions.  now i just need an easy way to add packages
[03:57] <timfrost> zpertee: what happens with 'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop' ?
[03:58] <macd> ryanakca, you could google for a rescue cd with ghost on it.
[03:58] <tofoo> im trying to write a program in xemacs, but for some reason, it says that 'If' was not declared in this scope when i try to make a conditional statement, why is that?
[03:58] <awilcox> timfrost: it installs KDE.
[03:58] <awilcox> !kubuntu | timfrost
[03:58] <ubotu> timfrost: Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE
[03:58] <bruenig> !repeat | tofoo, that is really not an ubuntu question anyways
[03:58] <ubotu> tofoo, that is really not an ubuntu question anyways: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly, if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[03:58] <lllol> im having an issue with grub
[03:58] <royel> !vmware | IamUnique
[03:58] <ubotu> IamUnique: VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. For VMWare Server, instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware
[03:59] <zpertee> bruenig: it couldn't find that package
[03:59] <ryanakca> macd: ghost4unix is a boot cd, thanks :D
[03:59] <macd> ryanakca, sweet deal.
[03:59] <timfrost> awilcox: I know.  isn't that what zpertee wants?
[03:59] <lllol> windows aparently MBR' the hardrive in which ubuntu is on unfortunately i only have the 6.06 lts and i had upgraded to 610 i booted live with 6.06 and reinstalled the grub and the system locks on boot up
[03:59] <lllol> any ideas?
[04:00] <ubrian> i cant figure out how to get to a directory to do make and make config or whatever im suppose to do
[04:00] <zpertee> bruenig: sorry didnt' mean to post to you
[04:00] <bruenig> k
[04:00] <lllol> is the grub version diff for 6.10?
[04:01] <ElephantHunter> I'm running XUbuntu in Microsoft Virtual PC for work and I'm having trouble with the graphic display. For some reason the display is really long and choppy when I start up, but barely readable. When I try pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 there are random colours and I can not access the terminal. I end up having to use Gnome Terminal for interfacing with the shell. Does anybody know what my display problem could be?
[04:01] <Ardnit1> how do i run a shell script... double clicking dont work and i dont know any of the commands yet
[04:01] <IamUnique> 10x
[04:01] <Frogzoo> !grub
[04:01] <zpertee> what is the difference between ubuntu desktop and ubuntu server?
[04:01] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[04:01] <jrib> Ardnit1: sh /path/to/shell/script
[04:01] <Thuggernaut> !fsck
[04:01] <ubotu> fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot
[04:01] <Frogzoo> zpertee: no gui on server install
[04:01] <bruenig> Ardnit1, make sure you chmod +x it
[04:01] <macd> ElephantHunter, that is because Virutal PC uses the vesa video device, your problem can not be solved.
[04:02] <zpertee> Frogzoo: do I still have access to all the same packages?
[04:02] <Ardnit1> chmod?
[04:02] <ElephantHunter> macd: Ah. Is there an alternative virtual machine that I can use?
[04:02] <Ardnit1> im sorry. i just installed last night and know NOTHING
[04:02] <bruenig> Ardnit1, where is this shell script located
[04:02] <jrib> Ardnit1: what shell script are you trying to run?
[04:02] <Ardnit1> on my desktop
[04:02] <Frogzoo> zpertee: you still have access to the same repos
[04:02] <bruenig> Ardnit1, and what is it called
[04:02] <Ardnit1> crossover office demo
[04:02] <timfrost> zpertee: ubuntu-server is a base that is intended for web/FTP/mail servers, and doesn't have a graphical interface.
[04:03] <Ardnit1> crossover STANDARD demo
[04:03] <macd> ElephantHunter, no virtual machines support direct video card access all is EMU.
[04:03] <zpertee> Frogzoo: so if i'm going to need to install a gui anyhow I might as well use the desktop version?
[04:03] <ed_> timfrost - nvu is not in feisty 64 universe repo
[04:03] <Paddy_EIRE> anyone know what plugins are responsible for streaming radio? specifically listening to BBC Radio One using the windows media player option
[04:03] <bruenig> Ardnit1, that is the name of it "crossover STANDARD demo" capitalization and everything?
[04:03] <bruenig> and spacing
[04:03] <macd> ElephantHunter, unless you have something like Xen enterprise with a spare video card to dedicate to your VM, also your CPU would have to support hardware virtualization
[04:03] <cor1> Ubuntu loads fine then when it hits the login screen the sound keeps playing and when i login i get a black screen
[04:04] <Ardnit1> no. the caps was me highlighting my correction. hold a sec and i will give you he full name
[04:04] <ed_> thanks tim, just found your note, ttfn

[04:04] <cor1>  HELP!!!!      Ubuntu loads fine then when it hits the login screen the sound keeps playing and when i login i get a black screen     HELP!!!!
[04:04] <Ardnit1> exactly as it appears on the file
[04:04] <zpertee> are networkless ubuntu installs possible?
[04:05] <royel> !restricted | Paddy_EIRE

[04:05] <bruenig> Ardnit1, open a terminal (applications>accessories>terminal) and do "cd Desktop && chmod +x install-crossover-standard-demo-6.0.0.sh && sudo ./install-crossover-standard-demo-6.0.0.sh"
[04:05] <timfrost> zpertee: you have a choice of desktop (Kubuntu=KDE, Ubuntu=GNOME, Xubuntu=XFCE).
[04:05] <Briman4031> I'm sure you guys get this all the time but can someone help me with my wireless card?  I'm a super newb, I've been using an ubuntu book and it's not helping much
[04:05] <Farnaby> I have an odd problem with evolution and the clock applet
[04:05] <Byan> zpertee: why wouldn't they be?
[04:05] <earthen> Briman4031, what wireless card do you have
[04:05] <Farnaby> briman4031 what wifi card, what version etc
[04:05] <ElephantHunter> macd: I've seen threads in the Ubuntu forum where people claim to be running Ubuntu in a virtual machine with no display problems.
[04:06] <zpertee> timfrost: what is the difference between the different ubuntu family flavors?
[04:06] <macd> ElephantHunter, they just dont complain about slow video.
[04:06] <cor1> HELP!!!!      Ubuntu loads fine then when it hits the login screen the sound keeps playing and when i login i get a black screen     HELP!!!!
[04:06] <bruenig> zpertee, the desktop environment
[04:06] <Briman4031> It's a Dynex 802.11g from Best Buy, the lights are blinking and I'm assuming it's using an atheros chipset because it's recognized, but I can't connect using it
[04:06] <Ardnit1> ????
[04:06] <Ardnit1> The '/home/tim' directory does not belong to you.
[04:06] <Ardnit1> Point $HOME to your home directory and try again.
[04:06] <ElephantHunter> macd: Oh. I'm not complaining about slow video. The display is not working correctly.
[04:06] <earthen> corl do you have a ati card?
[04:06] <cor1> how i tell
[04:06] <timfrost> zpertee: the difference is the desktop - Gnome/KDE/XFCE
[04:06] <hkn> can someone help me install 6.06LTS LAMP server on a poweredge 6400, its hanging on partman
[04:07] <Farnaby> briman, edgy, dapper, what version?
[04:07] <seamus7> Hi all ... I'm trying to create a NTFS partition using Gparted on an external storage USB hard drive but the NTFS option is grayed out... what am I missing?
[04:07] <macd> ElephantHunter, I thought you said it was choppy?
[04:07] <bruenig> Ardnit1, do you really need this, I mean I hate to ask but...
[04:07] <cor1> the only card i have is for the monitor and the network which works fine on the other computer i have
[04:07] <bruenig> Ardnit1, was that the error?
[04:07] <Briman4031> 6.06
[04:07] <kelsin>  zerdith: you can also into the others from one by installing the ubuntu-desktop kubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop
[04:07] <zpertee> timfrost: thanks for all your help.  I really appreciate it.
[04:07] <earthen> cor1, check you hard ware listing or at boot time you mite see a ati logo
[04:07] <zpertee> bruenig:  thanks for all your help.  I really appreciate it.
[04:07] <cor1> ok hold on let me chack
[04:07] <earthen> cor1, what system are you installing it on
[04:07] <zerdith> thanks for the tip
[04:08] <Ardnit1> well. i have no idea if i absolutely need it or not... i am trying to burn a few dvds and i cant get linux to do it so i was just going to use the programs i have been using
[04:08] <bruenig> Ardnit1, are the dvd's isos?
[04:08] <Briman4031> 6.06 is that dapper or edgy?
[04:08] <timfrost> Ardnit1: have you changed the UID number for your account? (What does 'ls -ld /home/tim' report?
[04:09] <ElephantHunter> macd: I suppose choppy was not the correct word. More accurately, my display has vertical lines running through all the graphics clear across the screen and the screen size is oblong.
[04:09] <bruenig> timfrost, my guess is that since I told him to do sudo, it realized that the user trying to install (root) doesn't own home
[04:09] <Ardnit1> drwxr-xr-x 25 tim tim 4096 2007-02-20 16:41 /home/tim
[04:09] <Farnaby> Here is abriman, dapper
[04:09] <Farnaby> wait a second
[04:09] <earthen> cor1, is it a laptop or desktop
[04:09] <Farnaby> Briman: 6.06 is dapper
[04:09] <con-man>   ,mm,,mawow
[04:09] <Ardnit1> bruenig, i am trying to rip dvds i just bought and copy them
[04:09] <cor1> desktop
[04:09] <Farnaby> there we go
[04:09] <macd> ElephantHunter, Id try to use 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' to reconfigure the xserver, choose the vesa video device and set your resolution accordingly
[04:09] <bruenig> Ardnit1, just copy or rip them into avi files, something like dvdshrink?
[04:10] <dimeotane> Ardnit1: of course purely for backups
[04:10] <ElephantHunter> macd: Okay. I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the advice :)
[04:10] <dimeotane> k9 copy is good
[04:10] <Ardnit1> of course <whistles softly>
[04:10] <Mixx> ok i have to ask what seems to be a really stupid question.  I'm trying to execute a file but I'm getting "No such file or directory".  I have ownership, it's executable and readable.  Any ideas what noob mistake i'm making?
[04:10] <cor1> no ati logo
[04:10] <Farnaby> So I have my odd evolution question: I switched palm pilots recently and it worked fine. Now the tasks in the clock applet won't hide once completed. They get marked as done but stay there
[04:10] <Omni> When trying to boot ubuntu after installing, I get this "Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition" any suggestions guys?
[04:10] <dimeotane> make sure your turn on the 'keep menu' option though
[04:10] <bruenig> Ardnit1, if you are just looking to copy, there is k9copy which would probably be easiest to install, I kind of like xdvdshrink but isn't in the repos
[04:10] <Briman4031> thanks... okay I'm using dapper, with a dynex wgnbc 802.11g card.  Both lights are blinking on it, and it's recognized by ubuntu, but it doesn't connect.  i think it might be an issue with the WP
[04:10] <Farnaby> Mixx, typo?
[04:11] <Pelo> Omni,  did you make a mount point first ?
[04:11] <Briman4031> WPA
[04:11] <earthen> cor1, there are some bug with some ati cars where it it will start with the tv out port as the main port
[04:11] <royel> Mixx: explain a bit more, what command are you issuing?
[04:11] <Ardnit1> i got k9copy from the add/remove
[04:11] <n0name> hi, is there any command that outputs the version of ubuntu that im currently running?
[04:11] <Ardnit1> it says i dont have a burner
[04:11] <Mixx> Omni - your order of hard drives may have changed (just happened to me) create a GRUB boot disk and follow the instructions on GRUB wiki
[04:11] <seamus7> Edgy is recognizing my external USB hard drives but Gparted isn't allowing me to create a new partition in NTFS format ... why?
[04:11] <cor1> ok how i fix
[04:11] <bruenig> n0name, lsb_release -a
[04:11] <Farnaby> Briman, possibly, I think people have gotten dynex cards to work in edgy for sure
[04:11] <timfrost> Mixx: try './script' if it is in the current directory (which isn't automatically in your path)
[04:11] <rp3> is there a quickpar for X?
[04:11] <n0name> bruenig: thnx
[04:11] <Omni> Pelo, it did it automated, so should I manually partition it, and not be lazy?
[04:11] <bruenig> Ardnit1, you probably need to go into the preferences and change the dvd burner
[04:11] <earthen> cor1, we have to know what video card you have
[04:11] <Mixx> royel - I am in ~/folding trying to execute ./FAH504-Linux.exe which autocompletes
[04:11] <Pelo> Omni,  mount it manualy to make sure it can be mounted first
[04:12] <cor1> ok let me take the case off ill be back in like 10 secs
[04:12] <Omni> Pelo - how? I'm a noob
[04:12] <Briman4031> thanks, I might have to try edgy
[04:12] <Mixx> royel & Farnaby so I know it's not a typo..
[04:12] <Anon80118> how do I fix the error "open /dev/snd/seq failed: no such file or directory" ?
[04:12] <Pelo> Omni,  sudo mount  /hda/watherver  mountpoint
[04:12] <Farnaby> MIxx, I typoed a few times on my new server so I always ask that first ;)
[04:12] <earthen> cor1, if it's not a ati card then i'm not sure i can help :(
[04:13] <royel> Mixx: are you in console or a file manager?
[04:13] <Omni> Pelo - should I do this with the live disc? because nothing involving ubuntu works
[04:13] <hkn> anyone here familiar with hardware raid and ubuntu 6.06 server?
[04:13] <Mixx> royel - i am in console
[04:13] <Pelo> Omni,  are you on the live cd now ?
[04:13] <Omni> I will be if I need to be
[04:13] <Mixx> omni - check this out: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Creating-a-GRUB-boot-floppy  I had to do this to fix my grub menu.lst
[04:14] <mic50k> Frogzoo: otherwise it won't work
[04:14] <Pelo> Omni,  I am just trying to figure out where / what you are at
[04:14] <Farnaby> Corl, sounds like you have the wrong driver, but if you don't know what you have we are kinda up a creek
[04:14] <Spartacus> Hey
[04:14] <Pelo> Omni,  what is the ... adress or the partition you are trying to mount ?
[04:14] <royel> Mixx: are you sure it's an .exe file?
[04:14] <Thuggernaut> ok i'm out peace guys
[04:14] <Spartacus> How do I get a computer without an OS to run the set-up?
[04:14] <Farnaby> and to reask my question:
[04:14] <Farnaby> So I have my odd evolution question: I switched palm pilots recently and it worked fine. Now the tasks in the clock applet won't hide once completed. They get marked as done but stay there
[04:15] <Farnaby> and yes, they are marked to hide in evolution and do
[04:15] <Mixx> royel - yeah - well, it's executable anyway, straight from the folding web site
[04:15] <leafw> how can I find out which kernel modules are loaded?
[04:15] <Omni> thanks Mixx  - Pelo - I dont know right now
[04:15] <mic50k> lsmod
[04:15] <phate> I'm have this problem where  when Close the lid on my portable and then later reopen it, X is killed.
[04:15] <verbose> leafw: lsmod
[04:15] <Pelo> Spartacus,  if you mean the bios you don'T need to have an OS on it,  just keep hitting  "del" while booting
[04:15] <leafw> thanks
[04:15] <Mixx> Omni - the trick is to figure out what your root is
[04:15] <Pelo> Omni,  what are you trying to mount ?
[04:15] <Mixx> omni use the find command detailed in that manual
[04:15] <Spartacus> Well, I mean to set-up Ubuntu
[04:15] <Farnaby> phate do you have to restart the comp or can you just restart x?
[04:15] <cor1> AGP-VGA S/n eeh138636
[04:16] <Spartacus> If I don't use a boot disk, like I was when trying to instal Windows, it gets stuck on Verifying DMI pool data
[04:16] <Hasrat_USA> which one is better? ext3 or reiserFS?
[04:16] <lazrpark93> Hey, when is the new version of ubuntu coming out?
[04:16] <royel> Mixx: ls -l ~/folding an pastebin me the output
[04:16] <mackinac> april
[04:16] <seamus7> I dual boot Edgy and WXP ... I just attached 2 USB hard drives and want to repartition one to use NTFS but GParted isn't allowing me to access that option .... any idea why?
[04:16] <mic50k> ok bye, peace and oh, LOVE YOU man
[04:16] <lazrpark93> Such a long wait
[04:16] <leafw> Hasrat_USA : ext3 is easy to recover from, and very write-safe.
[04:16] <rp3> is there a quickpar for X?
[04:17] <Farnaby> I prefer ext3
[04:17] <hexidigital> lazrpark93:  only 2 months
[04:17] <cor1>  AGP-VGA S/n eeh138636
[04:17] <hexidigital> lazrpark93:  could be longer :)
[04:17] <Pelo> seamus7,  ubu doesn'T support ntfs,  just make room for the partition and then format it using xp
[04:17] <Hasrat_USA> but you can't run degragment on ext3, whereas in reiserFS you can
[04:17] <dimeotane> Farnaby: ctrl alt backspace
[04:17] <leafw> Hasrat_USA : as far as I can tell, I never needed to defrag a drive
[04:17] <dimeotane> that will restart x
[04:17] <leafw> Hasrat_USA : that belongs to Windows users
[04:18] <Farnaby> dimeotane, I was asking phate, I know how to do it ;)
[04:18] <earthen> cor1, ok i don't know hat that is
[04:18] <Mixx> royel http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6807/
[04:18] <seamus7> Pelo: the mystery is that Gparted allowed me to partition my laptop HD into two partition with one in NTFS ... Gparted does NTFS ... but now that option is grayed out ... hmmmmm.
[04:18] <cor1> Pine building brighter ideas
[04:18] <lazrpark93> hexidigital: yeah true, 6.10 is really sweet though anyway I'm never going to use anything else
[04:18] <royel> Mixx: try this: bash ./FAH504-Linux.exe
[04:18] <Pelo> Hasrat_USA,   there was an article on digg an hour ago detailing differences between linux file sistem
[04:18] <hexidigital> lazrpark93:  heh, that's what i said about dapper
[04:18] <earthen> cor1, anyway I'll give you a link to a page that showed me how to get mine working
[04:18] <dimeotane> k ... thought u were stuck
[04:18] <Hasrat_USA> welll someone named 'waz' was telling me to partition my drives with reiserFS and i was like 'wtf?' but i didn't tell him anything though. the author of the FS is a murderer i heard!
[04:18] <lovloss> how come i suddenly dont have mp3 support?
[04:19] <earthen> cor1, http://www.chenqi.org/blog/archives/2006/10/some_tips_of_ma_1.html
[04:19] <Hasrat_USA> oh thank god you have the link?
[04:19] <lazrpark93> hexidigital: dapper is like synaptic right?
[04:19] <Omni> Pelo - /dev/sda: SCSI3
[04:19] <Pelo> seamus7,  it can "identify" nfts but it will not format it
[04:19] <Farnaby> dimeotane, nah, I am here with a minor irritation regarding evolution and the clock applet
[04:19] <hexidigital> lazrpark93:  no, dapper was the release before edgy
[04:19] <Mixx> royel says cannot execute binary file.... waaaiitt, I am on a 64 bit machine and this is a 32 bit binary..
[04:19] <cor1> PV-SO4A-br V4.1 wo5/03 XP-3800- 32mb sdram AGP-VGA\
[04:19] <Pelo> Omni,  and what mount point have you made for it ?
[04:19] <earthen> cor1, look at the second tip
[04:19] <Mixx> royel any way to run 32 bit binary on 64?
[04:19] <phate> Farnaby, it just X. rest of the machine is fine. Close lid, reopen I see my desktop for 2 seconds and then black screen then I'm dropped back to the GDM,
[04:19] <leafw> Hasrat_USA : being on trial doesn't make you a murder, at least not outside the USA.
[04:19] <lovloss> Just yesterday i was playing mp3s. then today it acts like there is no support for that
[04:19] <lazrpark93> hexidigital: oh I totally confused what those names were then lol
[04:19] <Farnaby> phate, does restarting x work?
[04:20] <royel> Mixx: ah.. sec
[04:20] <lazrpark93> hexidigital: good to know
[04:20] <lovloss> ansd then amarok locks up
[04:20] <cor1> im not on a ferrari 4000 laptop
[04:20] <seamus7> Pelo: oh I bet you're right ... I thought I had used Gparted to actually format in NTFS but perhaps I just set it aside and let the WXP isntallation actually do it. ok thx
[04:20] <phate> Farnaby: yes but everything I was working on is now gone
[04:20] <royel> Mixx: read this: http://forum.folding-community.org/viewtopic.php?t=17223
[04:20] <Hasrat_USA> ballmer repeats threats against linux!!
[04:20] <lazrpark93> who's ballmer?
[04:20] <earthen> cor1, no thats mine, but the solution is for a ati car but it may work for you
[04:20] <Slaj_R> Question... When trying to download an episode of a podcast, Firefox says "Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete."
[04:21] <seamus7> Pelo: I wonder if an Ubuntu Live Cd with Gparted would format the partition in NTFS ... maybe that's how I did it.
[04:21] <Slaj_R> This only just started happening since my last login.
[04:21] <Pelo> seamus7,  I doubt it
[04:21] <Hasrat_USA> hmm alright i'm going for ext3 then. thanks :)
[04:21] <Farnaby> phate, whats the laptop?
[04:21] <cor1> i dont have a ATI card
[04:21] <cor1> its AGP
[04:21] <Farnaby> seamus: I would think that it would...
[04:21] <cor1> VGA
[04:22] <Hasrat_USA> i believe you were talking abuot this link leafw http://kevin.hatfieldfamilysite.com/?p=104
[04:22] <Pelo> seamus7,  I think that if ubuntu was able to format ntfs we would have read/write access to ntfs out of the box, and we don't
[04:22] <phate> Farnaby: Dell Latitude C600
[04:22] <hexidigital> cor1:  ATI is a brand, not a `type`
[04:22] <earthen> cor1, AGP is the port that it is plug into
[04:22] <Pelo> Omni,  are you still there ?
[04:22] <Farnaby> Phate: this seems pertinent: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=305435&highlight=laptop+close+lid
[04:22] <earthen> cor1, did you build your desktop
[04:22] <Mixx> royel - brief glimps looks like exactly what i'm running into - i've tried both the 64 bit and 32 bit versions.  I'll read more to find out how to fix it.  thanks vm for your help
[04:23] <royel> Mixx: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs    this appears to be your answer
[04:23] <Farnaby> earthen: I would guess that he didn't
[04:23] <Mixx> royel - ok i'll check that out!
[04:23] <lazrpark93> What do you guys think of using 3D desktops in ubuntu?
[04:23] <earthen> Faithful, yeah i would guess that also :-/
[04:23] <xai> Can I specify a UUID on in /boot/grub/menu.lst for a root=xyz line ?

[04:27] <eleventyseven> hey gang - after using synaptic to update my kernel and godonlyknowswhatelse i am running out of space on /  do i have remove old packages manually?  is it because I have three kernels available?  ty

[04:36] <cmp1988> One of my favourite parts of Ubuntu is installing Deb packages manually
[04:36] <verbose> it's getting past the point where it wouldn't work if the card and drives weren't detected. so you know that's working at least
[04:36] <T0B1A5Funky> See, I would really like to be able to use Ubuntu, but the main thing I worry about is connecting to the internet, which I am unable to do
[04:36] <hkn> verbose, ok, will try that
[04:36] <eleventyseven> royel: that is the thing - autoclean.  let me try it again to make sure...  ubuntu is the shit though.  i love apt-get
[04:36] <paguilera> Hi.  I am wondering if someone can help me resolve an error message regarding ntlm_auth?
[04:37] <Farnaby> so are there any evolution gurus in here?
[04:37] <royel> eleventyseven: me too, apt-get makes me randy! :)
[04:37] <chris> Is there a directory where all programs that were installed are listed? like regedit for windows? i have a program that is corrupted and does now allow me to run the package manager and i can't uninstall it any way at all
[04:37] <Pelo> Farnaby,  what are you trying to do ?
[04:37] <eleventyseven> royel: that and one cd for the distro and i;m spent
[04:37] <royel> chris: what package?
[04:37] <linuxuser2907> i have a VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]  315PRO PCI/AGP VGA Display Adapter video card and every time i load ubuntu i get stuck at the login screen and it keeps playing the login sound over and over again and when i login i get a black screen
[04:37] <merc> fish -> retarded monkey -> humans
[04:37] <merc> there's evolution :P
[04:38] <T0B1A5Funky> Amen
[04:38] <Farnaby> Pelo: The tasks are showing as completed in evolution and hiding as I have marked. In the clock applet they are showing as completed but not hiding. This happaned after i upgraded my palm pilot to a new model
[04:38] <T0B1A5Funky> actually, "Ramen"
[04:38] <cmp1988> merc: Last time I checked, George Bush isn't related to me, probably not you either
[04:38] <hossasaur> hello, i am running ubuntu 6.10 on an hp dv2035us.  i have a built-in sound card with working drivers (snd-hda-intel) and all new versions of alsa components loaded.  i have a problem where i can't hear audio through my headphones.  when i plug in headphones, audio still plays through the laptop's internal speakers.  i've researched the problem and continue hitting dead ends.  any help would be greatly appreciated.
[04:38] <Farnaby> linuxuser2907| what version, edgy, dapper, fiesty?
[04:38] <Pelo> Farnaby,  I can't help but maybe someone else can , now that you have stated the problem
[04:38] <chris> royel: armagetronad, its that open source tron game, i installed the .package form of it and it somehow is corrupt
[04:39] <pontus91> I'm running edgy, how do I format my external from ntfs to fat32?
[04:39] <Pelo> #evolution
[04:39] <riasdxth> Hi, I have a drive and the type of FS is raid_member. It's not a raid member anymore, but it's the EXT3 filesystem. How can I change the type flag?
[04:39] <Farnaby> pelo: stated it a few times already ;)
[04:39] <TheDebugger> riasdxth: fdisk?
[04:39] <Pelo> Farnaby,  sorry
[04:39] <tsai> anyone ever converted video files avi to dvd from the command line?
[04:39] <Killeroid> chris: try "sudo apt-get remove armagetronad"
[04:39] <Farnaby> And #evolution is rather empty ;)(
[04:39] <cmp1988> Apt-Get: The command line cure all!
[04:40] <T0B1A5Funky> tsai: no, i have not but i know some program that might help you... i forget what it's called
[04:40] <Pelo> Farnaby,  yeah, I was chekcing it a few moments ago
[04:40] <tretle> i just installed edgy on my machine and tried to install my wireless driver through ndiswrapper except i had a error while trying to do so.
[04:40] <Farnaby> pelo: no worries. I just prefer to keep completed tasks around for a month or two but with the clock applet not hiding them... rather cluttered
[04:40] <pontus91> can some one please tell me how to format my external to fat32?
[04:40] <eleventyseven> hmm, re: apt-get autoclean i am getting unsweet messages about could not get lock.  well, i'll f with it more in the am i gues
[04:40] <hossasaur> this is not a hardware problem, as the sound/headphone switch works in vista 64
[04:40] <royel> chris: did you use Synaptic to install this?
[04:40] <hossasaur> and worked in xp
[04:40] <chris> royel: I've tried everything i can in the terminal, and it just says: E: The package armagetronad needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[04:40] <tretle> i got as far as seeing my driver in the ndiswrappers list as functional and hardware present
[04:40] <Farnaby> pelo: unusable cluttered actually.  Make sure that ntlm_auth >= 3.0.25 is in your path.
[04:42] <Farnaby> eleventyseven| at this rate you will fit right in the *nix community wherever you go
[04:42] <hkn> how do you run fdisk off the ubuntu live cd, its not there
[04:42] <royel> chris: I'll try locating something for you, in the meantime, did/have you searched there site for uninstall procedures?
[04:43] <tretle> can anyone at all help?
[04:43] <timfrost> pontus91: 'sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/hdd1'   (replace hdd1 with the correct partition - may be /dev/sda1 )
[04:43] <linuxuser2907> my soud isnt working
[04:43] <earthen> hkn if it is not there then you can install it even fron a live cd
[04:43] <eleventyseven> farnaby: well, i dabble well enough and i work w/ an unamed system based on freebsd.  but i'll take that as a compliment ;)
[04:43] <linuxuser2907> my sound card is preventing me from booting proper how can i fix this
[04:44] <chris> royel: I haven't, i'll go and check it out real quick
[04:44] <royel> eleventyseven: you should change your /nick to Id10T :)
[04:44] <crimsun> linuxuser2907: describe your problem more precisely and/or follow wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems
[04:44] <hkn> verbose, do you know if i have to format the scsi drives before i use the live cd?
[04:44] <T0B1A5Funky> Network problem here...I have edgy, compiled ndiswrapper successfully, loaded my windows driver to match the wireless card I have, set up all the settings in "Networking" to match what i had for windows (IP, Subnet, Gateway), everything is set the way it should, but any time i try to connect to the internet, or even ping something, it won't work... help!!!
[04:44] <hkn> earthen, its ok, i'm going to use a different live cd to format the drive
[04:44] <eleventyseven> royel: 10-4
[04:45] <linuxuser2907> ok when i have my speakers plugged in and i boot linux the sound on login keeps playing and it locks me up
[04:45] <verbose> hkn: you shouldn't have to, you should be able to at least fdisk and mke2fs them from the livecd
[04:45] <poningru> T0B1A5Funky: hmm
[04:45] <Farnaby> eleventyseven| anybody who can admit that they are being an idiot is a good start ;)
[04:45] <linuxuser2907> but when my speakers are unplugged it boots fine
[04:45] <poningru> T0B1A5Funky: what wifi card do you have?
[04:45] <poningru> as in what chipset?
[04:45] <hkn> verbose, the ubuntu live cd doesn't know what the command fdisk -l means:)
[04:45] <PORDO> what package do i need in order to run "make"?
[04:45] <T0B1A5Funky> Linksys wireless G card with Speed Booster
[04:45] <hkn> verbose, im going to use a different live cd to format the drive
[04:46] <T0B1A5Funky> the Driver i used was on the list for Ndiswrapper ... WMP54GS
[04:46] <rp3> i have a printer on a SUSE box that works localy and with XP boxes, but when I try to print from Ubuntu it doesn't work, but it does discover it (the printer) on the network?  Ideas?
[04:46] <poningru> T0B1A5Funky: hmm whats the chipset on that?
[04:46] <T0B1A5Funky> what do you mean as in chipset?
[04:46] <poningru> T0B1A5Funky: do an lspci -v
[04:46] <poningru> and search for your wifi card
[04:46] <poningru> and pastebin that section
[04:47] <phate> Farnaby: Thanks, that forum post fixed my issue. Apperently My system does not like X's Power Management :P
[04:47] <T0B1A5Funky> i'm not in ubuntu... otherwise i wouldn't be online
[04:47] <poningru> oh
[04:47] <poningru> sigh hold on
[04:47] <poningru> I have to google it
[04:47] <poningru> hold on
[04:47] <T0B1A5Funky> but whenever i ran lspci i got a pciid of 14e4:4320
[04:47] <T0B1A5Funky> is that what you want?
[04:47] <timfrost> PORDO: build-essential gives the tools.  What are you trying to compile?
[04:47] <Farnaby> Phate: glad to have helped
[04:47] <grte> Does anyone know why, in elinks, linux frames would not work in a linux console?
[04:47] <poningru> T0B1A5Funky: the chipset is the actual hardware that the card is using
[04:48] <T0B1A5Funky> h/o, let me device manager
[04:48] <poningru> T0B1A5Funky: for example my asus card is actually running an broadcom 4318
[04:48] <poningru> T0B1A5Funky: in windows they hide it
[04:48] <T0B1A5Funky> oh damn
[04:48] <PORDO> timfrost brands' digital cash software.
[04:48] <T0B1A5Funky> yea, nothing in device manager
[04:49] <PORDO> timfrost http://www.cypherspace.org/credlib/source/
[04:49] <PORDO> installing now. :)
[04:49] <xai> I suppose that to boot with root=UUID=xxxxx in a menu.lst required some form if initrd so that UUID support can find the UUID ??
[04:49] <pontus91> can someone tell me how to format my drive to fat32 instead of ntfs?
[04:49] <poningru> T0B1A5Funky: lol
[04:49] <Pelo> pontus91,  use gparted
[04:49] <timfrost> PORDO: do you know what libraries it needs?  Because you will need to install the development packages associated with those libraries
[04:49] <elpargo> pontus91, gparted
[04:50] <pontus91> thx
[04:50] <cmp1988> gparted FTW
[04:50] <poningru> T0B1A5Funky: you use the broadcom chipset
[04:50] <poningru> T0B1A5Funky: you didnt have to do ndiswrapper
[04:50] <T0B1A5Funky> okay, what does that for me?
[04:50] <pontus91> then what? LOL
[04:50] <T0B1A5Funky> really?
[04:50] <poningru> T0B1A5Funky: just the firmware install was enough
[04:50] <T0B1A5Funky> :P
[04:50] <PORDO> timfrost i'll find out.
[04:50] <pontus91> I have it open
[04:50] <T0B1A5Funky> how would i do that though?
[04:50] <PORDO> this makes my mouth water: http://ntrg.cs.tcd.ie/mepeirce/Project/Pro/rep_prob_e_cash_paper.ps
[04:50] <Ryan45> hello
[04:50] <poningru> T0B1A5Funky: hold on let me get you the link
[04:50] <T0B1A5Funky> alright, thank you
[04:51] <Pelo> pontus91,  it will take 30 minutes to explain but only 5 minutes for you to figure out
[04:51] <stanford> I booted with a Ubuntu LiveCD and it detects my Ethernet card properly and I see it in lspci. How do I figure out which module it loaded? I see too many things in lsmod
[04:51] <Farnaby> pntus91, pelo is right.
[04:51] <poningru> T0B1A5Funky: just uninstall ndiswrapper completley and install http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/pool/edgy-cafuego/bcm43xx/bcm43xx-firmware_1.3-1ubuntu2_all.deb
[04:51] <pontus91> k
[04:51] <poningru> WTF
[04:52] <poningru> hope he got it
[04:52] <PhibreOptix> Hi guys, I need a little help with my Sansa m240
[04:52] <poningru> T0B1A5Funky: just uninstall ndiswrapper completley and install http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/pool/edgy-cafuego/bcm43xx/bcm43xx-firmware_1.3-1ubuntu2_all.deb
[04:52] <T0B1A5Funky> whoa, i'm back
[04:52] <poningru> if you missed that last one
[04:52] <T0B1A5Funky> and this will for sure work?
[04:52] <PhibreOptix> It was working fine until I put a directory on it to store my school stuff in, and now when I turn it on it just turns itself off
[04:52] <chris_> royel: Let me know if you've found something :)
[04:52] <cafuego_> Yes, my firmware rules. Obey!
[04:52] <timfrost> PORDO: I suggest that you make a package using checkinstall rather than ending with 'sudo makeinstall'
[04:52] <PhibreOptix> And when I plug it in it keeps turning itself off before it can be mounted
[04:53] <PhibreOptix> Any help?
[04:53] <timfrost> !checkinstall | PORDO
[04:53] <ubotu> PORDO: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!
[04:53] <poningru> T0B1A5Funky: if the model number you gave is correct then yes
[04:53] <Ryan45> Can anyone recommend a guide to dual booting ubuntu and vista if I have a preloaded version of vista on a new laptop?
[04:53] <T0B1A5Funky> alright
[04:53] <poningru> T0B1A5Funky: you should bow to cafuego too
[04:53] <toulouse> PhibreOptix: can you boot with a live cd or rescue cd?
[04:53] <varsendaggr> hey i want have some scripts that i want to run   but i want to create a GUI to run these...   how should i do this?
[04:53] <poningru> Gus: omg are you from tampa?
[04:53] <royel> chris_: did you delete the file you downloaded to install this program?
[04:53] <T0B1A5Funky> who's cafuego?
[04:53] <tim167> i moved something to trash accidently, where can i recover it ?
[04:53] <poningru> T0B1A5Funky: the guy that puts those packages together
[04:53] <T0B1A5Funky> o0o
[04:53] <T0B1A5Funky> alright
[04:53] <poningru> so all you have to do is double click on them
[04:53] <ctford> i notice that ubuntu doesn't package rubygems because it could mess with the apt-get packaging system. how likely am i to mess things up if i install and start using rubygems?
[04:54] <PhibreOptix> toulouse: It's an mp3 player, do I need a live cd to repair it or something?
[04:54] <hossasaur> well, coincidentally, after 12 hours of looking i think i just found the fix: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=265027
[04:54] <ElephantHunter> This may be a bug I need to file, but I'm not sure. When I was using Xubuntu the shortcut to Install no longer worked. I had to find the file for the shortcut and manually run the command in the shell.
[04:54] <Meheren> My friend wanted to buy a firewire webcam... I immediately said iSight, but it turns out windows doesn't reconize it, can anyone reccomend a good cam?
[04:54] <poningru> tim167: its in .Trash in your home directory
[04:54] <T0B1A5Funky> thank you so much poningru, i hope this works!
[04:54] <toulouse> PhibreOptix: oh, i thought it was a computer nvm, i dunno man
[04:54] <poningru> or there is a trash icon in the bottom right of your screen
[04:54] <toulouse> new batteries
[04:54] <poningru> just click on it
[04:54] <poningru> T0B1A5Funky: gl
[04:54] <toulouse> take that folder off maybe
[04:54] <PORDO> tim167 i've used checkinstall many times. thanks.
[04:54] <PhibreOptix> I can't take it off, because it wont mount >.<
[04:54] <Gus> Can someone PM me and help me with my Unbuntu problem?
[04:55] <toulouse> these guys know more than me
[04:55] <chris_> royel : yea, but i re-downloaded it just to try and reinstall, but after its reinstalled its still in its corrupt state :/
[04:55] <toulouse> ey guys, help phibre mount his mp3 playa
[04:55] <pontus91> it won't let me format, I get an error.
[04:55] <tim167> poningru PORDA: thanks! (i'm in fluxbox, so no trash icon...), what's checkinstall ?
[04:55] <Meheren> phibre, what's your problem?
[04:55] <tim167> PORDO^
[04:55] <Gus> "kernel panic : not syncing; VFS; Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0) "
[04:55] <Meheren> phibre, what kinda mp3 you got?
[04:56] <PhibreOptix> sansa m240
[04:56] <timfrost> PORDO: I think you need to add it (and fakeroot) as build-essential doesn't depend on either of them
[04:56] <PhibreOptix> I put a new folder on it to store my school stuff in, and now it won't mount, or boot up if I try to listen to music
[04:56] <PhibreOptix> It just goes to the logo screen, and then powers down
[04:56] <PORDO> sudo?
[04:56] <PORDO> is sudo not sufficient?
[04:57] <Meheren> PhibreOptix, so when you plug it into computer what happens?
[04:57] <Pelo> g'night folks
[04:57] <PORDO> http://ntrg.cs.tcd.ie/mepeirce/Project/Pro/rep_prob_e_cash_paper.ps <-- mouth waters
[04:57] <poningru> PORDO: sudo is more than sufficient
[04:57] <PORDO> oh..maybe _too_ sufficient?
[04:57] <PhibreOptix> It goes to the logo screen, then powers down, then starts up again and goes to the logo screen and powers down.....it's an infinite loop
[04:57] <PORDO> first it looks like i need libssl-dev
[04:57] <PhibreOptix> And it doesn't stay on long enough to be mounted
[04:57] <royel> chris_: which installer did you use?, the universal?
[04:58] <Meheren> PhibreOptix sounds like it's a problem with your player, not ubuntu
[04:58] <PhibreOptix> Right...is there any way I can force it to stay on?\
[04:58] <chris_> i used a program called autopackage: www.autopackage.org , for .package files

[05:12] <Meheren> Farnaby, that's exactly what i said... immediatly
[05:12] <Farnaby> meheren why not use USB?
[05:12] <z0rz> ANyone?
[05:12] <Meheren> Farnaby, he has no spare usb ports...
[05:12] <flamesrock> I'll try the -a option
[05:12] <Meheren> Farnaby, only has two... one for the keyboard and one for his speakers
[05:13] <Farnaby> meheren the only firewire webcam i know of is the iSight. I am google can point you towards another though. But a decent USB webcam and hub is not that pricey
[05:13] <hossasaur> macd: you helped me before, and i thank you.  i'm having troubles with sound today.  i have ubuntu 6.10 installed on an hp dv2035us laptop.  if i install alsa components, i get sound through my speakers, but not my headphones.  i followed someone else's idea http://ubuntuforums.org hel/showthread.php?t=265027 and attempted to patch alsa.  now the headphones work, and i can control the volume of them, but the internal speakers still play

[05:14] <macd> hossasaur, so both play audio now?
[05:14] <hossasaur> macd: yes

[05:16] <Farnaby> hossasaur| the master volume doesn't work on the speakers?
[05:16] <flamesrock> won't mount at all
[05:16] <flamesrock> it doesn't hang, but it doesn't mount either
[05:16] <macd> gotcha
[05:16] <hossasaur> macd: i don't have an option for external amp.  under the switches tab i have IEC958, EXTMIC, INTMIC

[05:16] <liquiddoom> Has anybody gotten lprof or an other ICC profile creator to work correctly?
[05:17] <Flannel> pavs: you might look at stuff like Xen or other things like that
[05:17] <pavs> ok flannel lemme see if i find anything
[05:17] <hossasaur> macd: no matter how i set those, i still have audio going through the speakers, and i still have audio going out the headphone jack.  i've tried combinations of plugging in the headphones/unplugging/changing switches, nothing works.
[05:17] <z0rz> I have a linux router setup up using IPTables.  eth0 has a public ip eth1 has a private 10.20.30.x.  Inside my network I have roomates, so I have another firewall between my computers and theres.  It's WAN port is 10.20.30.y and it's local ip (including DHCP assinged IPs) are 10.20.10.x - I have port forwarding on my 10.20.30.y router so that I can connect to the "remote web login" from my room mates computer.
[05:17] <Jerub> so no one knows about this bug with dash breaking shell scripts?
[05:17] <z0rz> err
[05:17] <z0rz> That ends with "Linksys Wifi Router - > Comp B" Did you get all of it?
[05:17] <macd> hossasaur, well you got me then ;)
[05:17] <z0rz> The problem is I want to connect to it from the outside eth0 .. from the internet.  But when I set up iptables to allow the traffic through it doesn't seem to get to 10.20.30.y .. but if I forward traffic to my room mates computer with iptables it works fine (such as VNC or something)  My question is: How do I need to configure iptables for my scenario? Comp A -> Internet -> IPTables Linux Box -> Linksys Wifi Router - > Comp B
[05:18] <Farnaby> hossasaur| have you mucked in the alsa config? This isn't something i have experienced before
[05:18] <hossasaur> Farnaby: where is alsa config?

[05:19] <pavs> thanks flannel
[05:19] <Farnaby> Hooray beer
[05:20] <macd> flamesrock, what if you remove the no_subtree_check and restart nfs-kernel-server then remount it.
[05:20] <Toran> OK, so the update-manager crashed while i was in the middle of an upgrade from edgy to feisty beta. It was mostly done installing packeges, though not quite. What should I do?
[05:20] <Toran> update-manager won't start, it complains about pygtk not being available.
[05:21] <pavs> another question. Is there any software like "Alexandria Book Collection Manager" for movies?  Without it segfaulting. Or k3b. Or openoffice. (even though it's not kde, it crashes too.)
[05:23] <hossasaur> Farnaby: ok, odd, i can control the speaker and headphone volume through pcm
[05:23] <Toran> I have a feeling that it would be better than that.
[05:23] <chris_> Anyone know where currently installed package information is kept? not Synaptic :P
[05:23] <Farnaby> hossasaur| all solved then?
[05:23] <flamesrock> macd: same thing, it won't list, and same as before with '-a'
[05:23] <hossasaur> macd, farnaby: i can control only the headphone volume through main
[05:24] <Toran> macd: the wiki warned me that using apt-get was dangerous and difficult. Will I have the apt-get problems I was warned of?
[05:24] <gavintlgold> hey guys... you know in some screenshots of linux there's that neat little sidebar that shows cpu, memory, network, the clock, etc?  But I had to muck with alsa a lot to even get my MIc to start working at all (never did finish that though)

[05:25] <Farnaby> toran: macd is right

[05:26] <Farnaby> d00by, whats the vidcard to begin with
[05:26] <d00by> nvidia 6600
[05:26] <macd> Toran, then you need to kill that, and how you do that is: 'ps ax | grep dpkg" then you get a PID (a number) then issue "sudo kill -9 pid"
[05:27] <Farnaby> kill dash nine!
[05:27] <macd> Toran, or, 'sudo killall dpkg'

[05:27] <Farnaby> d00by, I am impressed, you actually know
[05:27] <Farnaby> gimmie a few
[05:27] <d00by> farnaby, haha thanks

[05:27] <macd> yes.
[05:28] <d00by> farnaby, i built the comp myself, and i got sick of winblows so i took ym gaming rig and made it windows
[05:28] <Toran> heh
[05:28] <Toran> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[05:28] <d00by> farnaby, i mean ubuntu
[05:28] <Toran> that is what it says when I run it.
[05:28] <hossasaur> Farnaby: is it something i can change in system-admin-sound? i'm kind of unfamiliar with this
[05:29] <Meshezabeel> anyone know how I can get that ntfs mount to show on desktop again?
[05:29] <macd> Toran, run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' what does that say...
[05:29] <Farnaby> Hoss: not sure. my laptop is running windows (one has a dead screen and the other is works so i can't do what I want with THAT).
[05:30] <lestat> Hi all.
[05:30] <hossasaur> Farnaby: this runs vista.  i actually had the same exact problem in vista until i played around with drivers.  i actually had to go back to xp drivers to get it to work
[05:30] <lestat> I want to play embedded quicktime videos, like those on the apple site, with totem.
[05:30] <lestat> How do I achieve this?
[05:31] <Toran> macd: It start installing lots of packages that were downloaded early, I would assume by the manager
[05:31] <macd> Toran, let it run.

[05:31] <Toran> macd: when it finishes, will i have an upgraded system? or will I need to do more things to finalize it?
[05:31] <quackquack> can anyone help me? I add my user to a group.. now when ever I try to use sudo, it tells me im not in the sudoers file??????????/
[05:32] <lestat> gavintlgold: I don't but I really want to use one.
[05:32] <macd> Toran, when it finishes run this command 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'

[05:32] <lestat> quackquack: google "adding to sudoers"
[05:32] <Farnaby> hossasaur| whats the model?
[05:32] <hossasaur> Farnaby: is there a way to say....swap the output of speakers and headphones?
[05:32] <merc> gavintlgold: you talking the thing with all the graphs in it?
[05:32] <Farnaby> d00by: I am still looking, but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of info so to speak
[05:32] <gavintlgold> lestat: yeah, one of the things that made me like linux was the way the sidebars looked... no sidebars in ubuntu though...
[05:33] <gavintlgold> merc: yes
[05:33] <Farnaby> And why do I feel like I am doing community service?
[05:33] <hossasaur> macd: is there a way to swap output of speakers and headphones? i never even use the damn speakers
[05:33] <merc> gavintlgold: it's called gkrellm
[05:33] <Toran> macd: is my sources.list in a way such that it will upgrade to feisty? aside from upgrading via the graphical tool, I haven't edited the file.
[05:33] <hossasaur> Farnaby: hp dv2035us
[05:33] <d00by> farnaby, yeah thats why i resorted to xchat, lol google failed me
[05:33] <hossasaur> Farnaby: internal speakers
[05:33] <lestat> gavintlgold: don't you mean the thing on the left? I think he's talking about the thing on the right... which does look cool.
[05:33] <macd> Toran, the sources.list should have already been changed.
[05:33] <macd> Toran, if not let the dpkg finish and we'll move to that.
[05:33] <Toran> Calculating upgrade... Done
[05:33] <Toran> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[05:33] <Toran> it just finished and I just ran it.
[05:34] <gavintlgold> lestat: not the dock on the left
[05:34] <lestat> Oh? I want that thing. : )
[05:34] <Toran> The first two of the last three lines were its output.
[05:34] <gavintlgold> i tried kiba-dock with beryl, but it was too buggy for me
[05:34] <Mevunky> so

[05:34] <Mevunky> 6.10 booted and installed fine as always
[05:34] <Mevunky> but 7.04
[05:34] <chris_> is there a regedit type thing on linux? to remove traces of a program?
[05:34] <merc> gkrellm is more of a system monitor
[05:34] <Farnaby> hossasaur| edgey ubuntu?
[05:34] <Mevunky> something with the bootloader isnt happening
[05:34] <merc> not really a dock bar.
[05:35] <hossasaur> Farnaby: yessir.  i wouldn't even mind disabling the internal speakers.  i never use them
