[07:42] <ttotally> i need to set up dhcp but have to download it first. anyone know where there are docs about how to set  up cable with ubuntu .. by hand so to speak
[07:42] <ttotally> Orakio, how to go about it?
[07:42] <bazhang> ttotally: you mean cable modem internet? or ethernet?
[07:43] <Laughed> if I use Ubuntu lLTS will I be missing anything and can I upgrade
[07:43] <Geoffrey2> if I'm reading this right, AC_CHECK_LIB checks for a particular function inside a header file?
[07:43] <Darkmystere> Amaranth, Huh?
[07:43] <ttotally> i think it's ethernet
[07:43] <Amaranth> Darkmystere: If you're using fglrx you've already lost, if you're using ati it barely supports that thing at all
[07:44] <bazhang> Laughed: if you use 6.0.6 or 8.0.4--the latter is alpha 5 right now but if you use 6.0.6 there is a one-step direct upgrade path
[07:44] <Laughed> good thank you again baz, this has been really frustrating
[07:44] <ttotally> well, ... it's a cable modem with a cord to my box's ethernet port
[07:44] <bazhang> ttotally: well just plug it in, it should be recognized
[07:44] <Laughed> i must have 6 or 7 Ubunut cds on my desk
[07:45] <Darkmystere> Amaranth, lol well its working pretty well for me and dont go all !worksforme on meh :p  every thing  works for me really it works better then the older fglrx just need to get hibernate work cant i like hibernate to ram?
[07:45] <ttotally> bazhang, i did but it's not ...
[07:45] <ttotally> i didn't set up networking during the install
[07:45] <bazhang> ttotally: hot plug or when you started up with it plugged in; you will need to go into the network setting to set it up if not
[07:46] <ttotally> bazhang, booted with it. where are the network settings in ubuntu?
[07:46] <smacky> i figure it out it was this change your preferred email client in "Preferred
[07:46] <smacky> Applications" to Thunderbird!

[07:58] <Laughed> should I go with gutsy or dapper drake
[07:58] <prashant_> r u getting me
[07:58] <bazhang> prashant_: use the command cp unless you want to move it mv
[07:58] <ttotally> that box isn't up right now, but i'll go find it in a minute ..... sounds straightforward, just didn't know where to look for it
[07:58] <prashant_> kkkkkkk
[07:59] <bazhang> Laughed: gutsy would be better choice depending on your hardware and ram--how much ram what cpu
[07:59] <prashant_> bazhang
[07:59] <prashant_> how to install deb file

[08:00] <bazhang> Laughed: then gutsy for sure--though you can run 32 or 64 bit on that
[08:00] <prashant_> bazhang r u getting me

[08:11] <mademelaugh> not a bug
[08:11] <bazhang> g1 those are one of the big weaknesses in Linux; some can get it going and some cannot; I have yet to do it but some report success--what model and make laptop?
[08:11] <g1> dang
[08:11] <mademelaugh> but a problem
[08:11] <g1> toshiba satellite m45

[08:14] <neeto> How do I open a port using the command line?
[08:14] <mademelaugh> mavi-, no,i mean,it is a problem for linux to hibernate,just wait someone to work out it
[08:15] <g1> thanks bazhang
[08:15] <bazhang> http://tuxmobil.org/toshiba.html g1 here is more info if you wish
[08:15] <_GeNomiCGirLz21_> ce_libra
[08:15] <mavi-> mademelaugh: no, its a specific, actual bug that hinders me =)
[08:15] <Laughed> bazhang is there kudos or rep I can give you some where?
[08:15] <mavi-> but yeah, linux had problems with hibernate some 5-6 years ago
[08:16] <mavi-> didnt thought it would come back now tho
[08:16] <mademelaugh> mavi-, for me,i just think linux cannot hibernate
[08:16] <mavi-> it can
[08:16] <mavi-> oh, for you
[08:16] <mavi-> i was kinda shocked as it worked perfectly in the previous three ubuntu releases
[08:17] <mavi-> silly thing to break
[08:17] <bazhang> Laughed:  just go to http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ and add new ideas you have for ubuntu ;]
[08:17] <Laughed> during install, if I press crrl alt f4 it brings me to the log screen
[08:17] <Laughed> how do i get back
[08:17] <mavi-> Laughed: ctrl-alt-F7
[08:18] <Laughed> that didnt work
[08:19] <mavi-> try f6 then
[08:19] <mavi-> your graphical terminal is on one of them
[08:19] <mademelaugh> use tab to hit back
[08:19] <mademelaugh> i think it is
[08:20] <mademelaugh> ...
[08:20] <Laughed> nope, I used ctrl alt and all f's nothing, tab nothing, induhvidual f's cause an input in the cmd line
[08:20] <Laughed> and i think I broke the install
[08:21] <bazhang> Laughed: is this the minimal install? you need to add ubuntu-desktop or what not you know
[08:21] <Laughed> aactually ctrl alt f6 brings me to a blank screen
[08:22] <Taggnostr> hello
[08:22] <Laughed> nice, sorry guys, babe in the woods here
[08:22] <Taggnostr> I have a folder and konquer says that its size is 15208663 bytes or 14.5 MB (actually they should be MiB), I tried with du -b and it says 15196758, du -h says 16M (instead than 14.5) and du -H says 17M (instead than 15.2), is this normal?
[08:22] <bazhang> Laughed: minimal?
[08:22] <Laughed> yep
[08:22] <bazhang> then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop Laughed
[08:23] <TrustNoOne> in wine hq, it says latest steam should work with it, but i cant get it to startup after install (and yes i open iexplore in wine before instal)
[08:24] <Taggnostr> does someone know why du returns that values?
[08:24] <bazhang> TrustNoOne: did you configwine or wineconfig (forgot the command) first?
[08:25] <TrustNoOne> bazhang, no i did "wine iexplore "url"" to open iexplore, then i go "wine start steaminstall.msi"
[08:25] <bazhang> Taggnostr: running out of hard drive space? is this really crucial?
[08:25] <bazhang> TrustNoOne: you need to config wine the first time you run it iirc
[08:26] <TrustNoOne> bazhang, i have installed apps with wine before, its not the first time i run it
[08:26] <Taggnostr> I'm just writing an article about binary and decimal prefixes and I'd like to understand how ubuntu use them
[08:26] <bazhang> Taggnostr: that sounds more like a generic linux question
[08:26] <Taggnostr> I tried to ask on #linux but they dind't answer me
[08:27] <Taggnostr> didn't*
[08:28] <bazhang> Taggnostr: sorry I have no clue ;]
[08:28] <Taggnostr> I can't figure out how du can return that values :\
[08:29] <Taggnostr> and I don't think that du is broken, though I can't find why
[08:29] <Taggnostr> do you know some other tools that let me check the size of a file or something similar?
[08:30] <Taggnostr> I also used dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=1MB count=10 and it use the prefix in the right way
[08:34] <DaftPunk> ive never seen it this dead in here before
[08:34] <xeer> im on a live cd right now,  7.10 and im trying to get this installed on my fakeraid. problem i'm having is that dmraid does not recognize my drives as a raid. i want to retrieve the raid meta info manually but fdisk (-u -l /dev/sda) says it can't open the device. the partition manage reads it fine though. what could be wrong?

[08:39] <fabri> sorry, how?
[08:39] <DaftPunk> dang where is ubotu
[08:40] <fabri> sorry, what do you mean by !sound
[08:40] <fabri> DaftPunk what do you mean by that?
[08:41] <DaftPunk> fabri, there is a bot, its called ubotu and it is supposed to put out links for sound issues with that command, but its not in the channel for some reason
[08:42] <Pip> Is it normal that some gif pictures are not shown well in IE 7 running on ubuntu ,with sawtooth edge ?
[08:42] <bazhang> Pip: this is in wine?

[08:42] <fabri> i have a toshiba satellite
[08:42] <fabri> and they dont provide any support for linux

[08:43] <Pip> bazhang, Yes
[08:43] <fabri> i got he master in 00 and cant change that

[08:48] <pppZero> bazhang, in the gui, no, it is setup correctly though, `ifup eth0` brings the interface up with its proper IP/routes/etc (ie, its not getting a dhcp lease)

[09:15] <dgjones> shane_, i don't know the answer, but i've seen a few people asking that question in the last few days, so there's probably a few answers later on through the day
[09:15] <cpk1> shane_: maybe its the jack sense in alsa? no clue really
[09:15] <recluse2> I'vegot an A45-S130. Thats a weird problem

[09:17] <shane_> hey laughed what is you are doing?
[09:17] <Laughed_> hey, its still stuck at 6% on a minimal Ubuntu install
[09:17] <dgjones> shane_, just searched on launchpad, maybe this will help https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/42381, different machine, but suggests using alsamixer and finding the headphoen jack sense control
[09:18] <Laughed_> Ive been having problems all day
[09:18] <shane_> have you had ubuntu installed b4?
[09:18] <Laughed_> oops
[09:18] <bullgard4> English help wanted. What does 'wrap' mean in the following sentence of 'man top': "2a. DESCRIPTIONS of Fields;  a: PID -- Process Id; The task’s unique process ID, which periodically wraps, though never restarting at zero."?
[09:18] <Laughed_> it just started going again
[09:18] <prince_jammys> Laughed_: is your computer a dell dimension?
[09:19] <Laughed_> lol. no, its not
[09:19] <prince_jammys> Laughed_: ok just checking :)
[09:19] <shane_> laughed_ how big is your free partition?
[09:19] <prince_jammys> actually, the minimal cd would work on one of those too
[09:19] <Laughed_> shane: I have had ubuntu installed a year ago, but with the problems with ATI drivers I deleted it
[09:19] <Laughed_> Im trying to jump back on
[09:20] <Laughed_> 40gb
[09:20] <smax> I'm tring run firefox in chroot using dchroot but It say that can't open display 0.0
[09:20] <shane_> so it runs through the install untill 6% and restarts right?
[09:20] <prince_jammys> Laughed_: also have you been burning these CDs at slow speed (4x)?  it can make a difference
[09:21] <Laughed_> it just kicked back into install mode a minute ago
[09:21] <Laughed_> earlier it stopped at 6% and 85%
[09:21] <Laughed_> so we'll see
[09:21] <Laughed_> i have prince
[09:21] <Laughed_> I have like 6-7 copies of ubunut
[09:22] <prince_jammys> ha
[09:22] <Laughed_> on my desk at the moment
[09:22] <prince_jammys> i know what that's like

[09:23] <booster_> hey guys how can i take owners on gusty. i want to set it up to were i can copy and paste in folder
[09:24] <flowOver> gksu nautilus
[09:24] <shane_> i just installed Ultimate edition Gnome 1.7 today ... took about 3 tries.... lost ability to boot vista first time... was cutting the install short evrytime..so i started from scratch and put vista on first with a 60GB partition and ubuntu with the remainder of my internal and it worked fine on the very first install
[09:24] <Laughed_> 83%... holding breath
[09:25] <shane_> lol
[09:25] <booster_> shane_, im also running ultimate 1.7
[09:25] <flowOver> why would you even keep vista after what microsoft did to 1000's of early updaters?
[09:26] <bluecake> in apache, how to config it to load file.bmp? currently, broswer ask me to save the file
[09:26]  * Laughed_ face turns blue, collapses and bangs head on keyboard/desk
[09:26] <flowOver> they rolled out a brief update to get ready for sp1 and it broke over a quarter install configurations where they bsod'd at startup and recovery wouldn't help
[09:26] <Laughed_> nice
[09:26] <Laughed_> 91%
[09:26] <flowOver> how can you trust microsoft to be competent after such a fiasco
[09:26] <shane_> i've been using the live cd for a while... and the reason i keep both is just so i can support the good ol programs i grew to love and just can't be ported properly with linux,.
[09:26] <booster_> can any one tell me how to set up my system to run as root all the time ??
[09:26] <stitches> who said they were competent?
[09:26] <flowOver> vista is worse then me.  at least me didn't need an update to break completely
[09:26] <{w}izard> morning all
[09:27] <prince_jammys> !noroot | stitches
[09:27] <prince_jammys> stitches: wrong nick
[09:27] <Hadeshorn> anyone good with 802.11x??
[09:27] <{w}izard> i have a problem in gutsy amd64 after installation, some one can help me?
[09:28] <shane_> hows it going laughed?
[09:28] <Hadeshorn> wizard, go back to 32 bit.. thats what i did and everything is peachy!
[09:28] <rrm> guys i get this :  FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found.  when doing modprobe
[09:28] <rrm> how can i fix that
[09:28] <Laughed_> its sleeping on 97%
[09:28] <Laughed_> But im hopeful this is the furthest Ive gotten
[09:28] <prince_jammys> yeah it looks like you're set
[09:28] <shane_> lol..hopefully it'll work
[09:29] <Laughed_> wow
[09:29] <shane_> got it?
[09:30] <Laughed_> yeah
[09:30] <shane_> haha..awesome
[09:30] <prince_jammys> applause
[09:30] <Shnoodle> bluecake: edit mime.types
[09:30] <Laughed_> now, do i need to load "Build LTSP chroot"
[09:30] <bluecake> Shnoodle, i did, image/bmp bmp, no work
[09:30] <Laughed_> lol, this has got to be like my tenth try I am exited
[09:32] <Laughed_> question: dop i need to install "Ltsp chroot, grub boot loader and or the lilo boot loader
[09:32] <Laughed_> or all 3
[09:32] <prince_jammys> grub is the usual
[09:32] <Laughed_> so its one over the others
[09:32] <shane_> i still can't seem to figure this audio bug out yet...:(
[09:32] <prince_jammys> you don't need lilo, as far as i know
[09:33] <Laughed_> shane: i need you to figure it out cause I know Ill have that problem later=)
[09:33] <booster_> how can i copy a folder into lets say the games folder ???
[09:33] <prince_jammys> booster_: on a terminal, you mean?
[09:33] <shane_> lol...kind of computer you running laughed?
[09:33] <booster_> either way
[09:34] <Laughed_> self built
[09:34] <Laughed_> its a couple years old
[09:34] <shane_> k..should be alot better than mine though... satellite
[09:34] <Laughed_> asus 8n premium, amd64 3700, ati x850, 1.4ram
[09:34] <booster_> prince_jammys, im trying to copy a music file in to the game folder but it wont let me copy and paste
[09:34] <Hadeshorn> Anyone familar with 802.1xx?
[09:35] <prince_jammys> booster_: because you don't have permissions?
[09:35] <richardus> if i want to copy files from one user acct to another with sudo cp, other then chmod/chown -R is there a better/smarter way of changing the ownership of the files
[09:35] <prince_jammys> booster_: you can run the filebrowser as root with::   gksudo nautilus
[09:35] <Laughed_> what about you shane: Whats your beast pushing
[09:35] <booster_> ok ill try that
[09:36] <shane_> ok new issue i just discovered.... while using a live cd i could access my seagate external harddrive now that i installed the contents cannot be viewed...
[09:36] <mimrian> how do i open a folder in the terminal whits are named whit more than 1 word
[09:37] <prince_jammys> mimrian: cd "dir with spaces"   use quotes
[09:37] <Laughed_> nice, shane. Thats what I hated my first time using Ubuntu
[09:37] <prince_jammys> better yet, rename it so it doesn't have spaces. will save you hassle in the future
[09:37] <mimrian> thanks
[09:37] <Laughed_> things like that were constantly happening
[09:38] <prince_jammys> !filenames | mimrian
[09:38] <prince_jammys> huh, that used to be there
[09:39] <prince_jammys> maybe because it's not ubotu
[09:40] <broken> What might have enabled a <Super>Button1 bind for taking a screenshot and saving it on desktop.. So far the only major things installed have been compizfusion, and I've looked all over in ccsm for a binding there.
[09:40] <mimrian> so how does filenames work than
[09:41] <shane_> laughed Intel core 2 duo toshiba satellite 1gb ram 160 gb internal .. 250 external seagate.  ..poor thing ... came with vista home premium slow as can be out of the box so i figured ubuntu would be a good alternative
[09:41] <Laughed_> if nobody here isnt wathcing jericho you should be
[09:41] <prince_jammys> mimrian: when you are using the command line, spaces are used to separate parameters. so when your filename contains spaces, the shell doesn't know.
[09:41] <prince_jammys> mimrian: it's a very good idea to use underscores instead my_folder
[09:41] <jesse> !whois Laughed_
[09:41] <mimrian> okey
[09:41] <jesse> whoops
[09:42]  * jesse was trying to find out where Laughed_ lived to know if Jericho was in in aus
[09:42] <prince_jammys> mimrian: if you're not careful, the results can be really bad: rm my file  deletes TWO files if they exist ("my" and "file")
[09:42] <Laughed_> Im not sure if its showing in aus
[09:42] <Laughed_> but its on cbs here in the states
[09:42] <jesse> bagh
[09:43] <booster_> prince_jammys, thanks ....it worked like a charm
[09:43] <Laughed_> OMG, i just got  an installation complete
[09:43] <AlexC> Hey guys, Ive been trying to set up my computer on ubuntu, having a problem i can't find any leads on online, was wondering if anyone could help, basically i have a 3-screen setup, two monitors plugged into a geforce 7 and one into a geforce 6, and i just cannot get two working for the life of me, let alone all three!
[09:44] <prince_jammys> booster_: good. use gksu to run GUI (graphical apps) as root, and sudo to run command-line apps as root
[09:44] <AlexC> (i'm a complete newb btw, but have the restricted drivers)
[09:44] <dgjones> !dualhead | AlexC, This might help,
[09:45] <AlexC> ill take a look, thanks, haven't seen this site yet
[09:45] <g1> hey when i try to set the visual effects for my desktop it says "The composite extension is not available" any ideas why?
[09:48] <g1> hey when i try to set the visual effects for my desktop it says "The composite extension is not available" any ideas why?
[09:48] <magnetron> g1: Maybe the gl extension is not available? jokes aside, there seem to be a problem with your graphics driver
[09:49] <magnetron> g1: what graphics card do you have?
[09:49] <jim_p> hi! today after apt-get update & upgrade, i noticed that some packages where kept back for some reason. Shall i be worried?
[09:49] <g1> ati radeon xpress
[09:50] <broken> if the driver's set and working, there's an option in /etc/X11/xorg.conf at the bottom, Composite "0" or similar, can change it to 1 and restart x
[09:50] <magnetron> g1: what happens if you run the system > Administration > Restricted driver manager?
[09:50] <broken> Take care of any driver problems first, that could be it
[09:51] <g1> It says the ATI driver is in use
[09:51] <magnetron> g1: sad to say, the drivers from ATI are bad
[09:52] <g1> any other suggestions?
[09:52] <magnetron> g1: and there are no good to replace them yet
[09:52] <g1> so no chance i would be able to use a 3d desktop
[09:52] <heroxbd> Is there a complete ubuntu ipv6 mirror list?
[09:52] <magnetron> g1: maybe, ask the channel. i don't know
[09:53] <prince_jammys> !ati
[09:53] <prince_jammys> did you look at that?
[09:53] <prince_jammys> i think you did earlier
[09:53] <dgjones> g1, Its probably worth looking at this website https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/Xgl/simple
[09:54] <g1> well i think i have the latest driver
[09:54] <g1> but its the ATI one
[09:54] <magnetron> g1: what dgjones said
[09:54] <fabri> hi, i just followed the soundtroubleshooting but couldnt get my audio card to sound
[09:54] <g1> thanks jones im taking a look right now
[09:54] <dgjones> g1, I've found with my ati radeon that I had to "sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl"  and restart X to get desktop effects to run
[09:54] <Trashlord> Someone name a package of a music converter, which allows me to also choose samplerate in the convertion, please.

[09:56] <fabri> i meant, i cant get the effects
[09:56] <prince_jammys> Trashlord: it's not a GUI app though
[09:56] <prince_jammys> but it's good
[09:56] <Trashlord> I know
[09:56] <Trashlord> doesn't matter
[09:56] <prince_jammys> oh ok
[09:56]  * Trashlord doesn't need GUI
[09:56] <Trashlord> ;p
[09:56] <g1> broken  can you give me the exact command to type in the terminal sorry im new to this
[09:56] <prince_jammys> then you're set
[09:56] <Trashlord> figured it's about time I'll start using more command line apps
[09:57] <broken> hit ALT+F2... then sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:57] <magnetron> broken: gksudo
[09:57] <fabri> hey broken, is that to get the ati radeon working?
[09:58] <Trashlord> what's the switch to show the manual for ffmpeg?
[09:58] <prince_jammys> have him back it up first
[09:58] <broken> its what i had to do, with drivers and whatnot working fine
[09:58] <prince_jammys> Trashlord: man ffmpeg
[09:58] <Trashlord> ah
[09:58] <Trashlord> thanks
[09:58] <fabri> so how is it?
[09:58] <fabri> what do i need to edit on the xorg.conf
[09:58] <fabri> ?
[09:58] <prince_jammys> Trashlord: and maybe a bit of google, depending on how complex your operation is
[09:59] <broken> Option "Composite" "0"
[09:59] <broken> change the 0 to 1
[09:59] <broken> probably one of the last lines

[10:20] <vallhalla81> unknown command
[10:20] <pushax> can anyone recommend a utility to add and remove modules from the kernel?
[10:21] <Laughed_> works for me
[10:22] <vallhalla81> i am using pidgin does that make a difernce?
[10:22] <Laughed_> no it doesnt give me two secs
[10:22] <vallhalla81> ok thank you
[10:22] <sally_> anyone have this problem with evolution? ¨Summary and folder mismatch, even after a sync¨
[10:23] <Laughed_> okay, lets just try it again heres the cmd (command): /ns register "yourpasswordhere"        delete the quotes
[10:24] <erUSUL> sally_: i have seen it but usually a restart (of evo) is enough
[10:24] <sally_> erUSUL: not enough for me.. and none of the fixes online seem to fix it either
[10:24] <pushax> how do I run module-init-tools ?  is it cli or gui?
[10:25] <vallhalla81> nope
[10:25] <Laughed_> maybe it is pidgin but in honesty it really shouldnt be
[10:25] <fx|RabBi1> can someone point me the way to a good wifi howto for centrino pls?
[10:25] <Laughed_> not sure what to tell you
[10:25] <erUSUL> sally_: :S
[10:25] <pushax> kububtu people are more friendlier than ububtu people...
[10:25] <vallhalla81> should i try another irc client you think?
[10:26] <Laughed_> Im using trillian but again it shouldnt be the client, your registering with this irc server
[10:26] <vallhalla81> ye
[10:26] <sally_> hmmm
[10:27] <sally_> there doesn´t seem to be an easy way to import mail from evolution into thunderbird either
[10:27] <Laughed_> is ubuntu and ati a lost cause
[10:28] <erUSUL> sally_: evo uses mbox format and thunderbird can import it afaik
[10:28] <graveson> hi all, i have a problem booting my system, grub loads and my pc resets-continuous cycle. if however i boot off a ubuntu cd and specify that it boots off a hard drive..then i have n problem...any ideas
[10:28] <flowOver> Laughed_: not lost, just not pertinent
[10:28] <erUSUL> sally_: have you tried compacting the mail folders (Crtl +E in evolution) ?
[10:28] <shane_> hey i'm back ....got my external working ... i shared the drive in vista and came back to ubuntu and it works again
[10:28] <icesword> graveson, there must ve something wrong with your menu.lst

[10:32] <sally_> Laughed_: won work at all or just bad framerate?
[10:33] <Yoha> Bonjour

[10:40] <Solmaze> How do I remove a damaged sun java installation?
[10:41] <Solmaze> I can't seem to get it installed properly, while the other crap is still there.
[10:41] <icesword> sudo apt-get remove it

[10:41] <Solmaze> I'd need to figure out what its called then-.
[10:42] <Solmaze> I dont know what the package is called.
[10:42] <Trashlord> most likely "java"

[10:57] <tyguaike> hello
[11:03] <linkster> hi, got a prob while installing ubuntu.i need to chose partitions to format and  it doesnt find my hard drive :o).
[11:03] <tyguaike> setup scim for cn
[11:04] <linkster> any ideas what could be the prob ?
[11:04] <waylandbill> linkster: I assume you already have partitions on the drive?
[11:05] <tyguaike> hello
[11:05] <linkster> waylandbill: yes, 2.
[11:05] <tyguaike> setup scim for cn ?
[11:05] <ere4si> linkster, is it raid?
[11:06] <icesword> tyguaike, what you want
[11:06] <linkster> i dont think so, it's a regular hard drive.
[11:06] <ere4si> k
[11:07] <waylandbill> linkster: are the partitions ones that are supported? ext2, ntfs, etc?
[11:08] <linkster> waylandbill: yeah, barely formated 'em to ntfs, but it doesnt find any of them.
[11:08] <Piet44> i cant install tomcat5 on jeos it says package not found?
[11:09] <linkster> formated em with a windows cd, cause i was planning to install xp, but finaly decided to go unix
[11:09] <phoenix24> how can I list cvs TAGS ?
[11:09] <phoenix24> how can I list CVS TAGS ?
[11:11] <waylandbill> linkster: are you still planning on installing xp?
[11:11] <icesword> hehe
[11:11] <linkster> nope :p
[11:11] <userjim> sysinfo:prefs
[11:12] <waylandbill> linkster: if you prefer then, tell the installer to use the entire drive and it will handle the rest.
[11:12] <linkster> waylandbill: that's the problem, it doesnt find any hard disk at all.
[11:13] <linkster> i could do a snapshot, but im not sure how
[11:13] <waylandbill> linkster: that's what I figured when you said it couldn't find the partitions is that it didn't even find the drive.
[11:13] <simion314> if i deleted my task bar can i add it again? i have problems with awn, it worked fine but after a reboot is not appearing, i can set the preferences but i do not see it. Maybe because i deleted the task bar
[11:13] <waylandbill> linkster: is this an IDE or a SATA drive? Does it show up in the bios?
[11:14] <ere4si> !panel
[11:14] <Ziroday> simion314: if you delete the taskbar it will not affect AWN
[11:14] <linkster> waylandbill: ide
[11:15] <icesword> linkster, do you use the ubuntu installcd to install
[11:15] <linkster> that's right
[11:15] <kes0> !panel
[11:15] <kes0> ops
[11:16] <icesword> it is strange
[11:16] <linkster> prolly my drive is just screwed up and i need to get a new one. still, that wouldnt explain why im here now, on a screwed hard drive, and the system doesnt find it
[11:16] <waylandbill> linkster: if you are running the LiveCD, that runs without a hard drive. RAM is used instead.
[11:17] <linkster> i see
[11:17] <sean_> does anybody know where can i find information about setting up an Atheros Communications, Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)

[11:28] <tmoney_> sorry my buddy said that u can help
[11:28] <sander_m> Hello, I have a question: Does intel wireless ipw3945 work when running the live CD? Or does it only work on an installed Ubuntu (7.10)?
[11:28] <murlidhar> somebody help me setup gift file sharing
[11:29] <Light-> my wireless worked off the liveCD, and its intel, but i dont know the model number
[11:29] <sander_m> Light-: Are you on that system now? Can you run `lspci` in the commandline?
[11:30] <deformation> my wireless worked too, its intel2200
[11:30] <Light-> I think. I noticed it was enabled in the "Restricted Drivers" section after I installed
[11:30] <Light-> That PC is actually in windows atm, i'll check teh device manager
[11:30] <tmoney_> my wireless is dead it worked for 2 days then died so i had to get a linksys g card
[11:30] <sander_m> Thanks
[11:31] <Light-> yep, its an Intel 3945ABG
[11:31] <tmoney_> but it works lik ones a month for lik 20secs
[11:31] <sander_m> Light-: You're sure it worked off the Live CD?
[11:31] <Light-> like I said, I only noticed it was working after I had installed and booted into linux
[11:32] <sander_m> Okay, thanks :-)
[11:32] <Light-> anyone know anything about my RAID question?
[11:32] <tmoney_> how u get volume contral
[11:32] <sander_m> Light-: I know RAID. What was your question?
[11:33] <Light-> click the little speaker icon
[11:33] <Light-> [00:27:44] <Light-> Hi, I have a RAID-0 and a RAID-5 partition created under ubuntu linux. If I was to install another distro, would it pick them up alright and Just Work or will there be issues?
[11:33] <tmoney_> i dont get one
[11:33] <Light-> do you hear a login sound when you log in?
[11:33] <tmoney_> i have volume but cant control it
[11:33] <sander_m> Light-: Yes, another distro will pick them up. If it's kernel has mdadm support (most do)
[11:34] <Light-> Ok, I just read somewhere that of the incorrect driver is loaded then it could nuke your array
[11:34] <Light-> *if
[11:34] <tmoney_> i dont get sound on the splash screen
[11:34] <sander_m> light-: You're using software mdadm RAID, right?
[11:34] <Light-> yep
[11:35] <Light-> Tmoney: see the date in the top right?
[11:35] <tmoney_> yes i got date
[11:35] <Light-> click the speaker next to it and drag the slider... if its greyed out then theres probably a problem with your sound drivers
[11:35] <tmoney_> i dont have the little speacker thingy
[11:36] <icesword> !sound
[11:36] <Light-> has your computer produced any sound at all through the speakers since you installed ubuntu

[11:44] <waylandbill> tmoney_: see the restricted formats link above for getting flash.
[11:44] <tmoney_> um it gets slower and slower
[11:45] <Light-> because you fill it up with more and more programs?
[11:45] <icesword> tmoney_, what os
[11:45] <Ziroday> tmoney_: well, the more services you install/start the slower it will get
[11:45] <icesword> ubuntu?
[11:45] <flaccid> hey whats that command to reinstall grub?
[11:45] <devron6> tmoney - if it is getting slower then try to find out what is causing it, windows vs linux,  linux would be way easier on your cpu
[11:45] <icesword> disable some service you don't need
[11:45] <devron6> flaccid - there are a few
[11:46] <devron6> flaccid - easy or hard?
[11:46] <tmoney_> i just have linux on it

[11:46] <Ziroday> Light-: you can check in launchpad or ask in #ubuntu-bugs
[11:46] <devron6> flaccid?
[11:46] <Light-> ah, ok
[11:47] <flaccid> easy
[11:47] <flaccid> just reinstall grub because windows over wrote mbr. the wiki page is too much detail for my user

[11:52] <tmoney_> my lappy is dieing lol
[11:52] <icesword> try c:\grldr=load ubuntu
[11:52] <flaccid> ta
[11:53] <ygorabreu_br_spa> actually im writing a guide.. :P but i dont want to go and try for myself the only-ubiquity code
[11:53] <midianoche> hola a todos
[11:54] <friend> Quit
[11:56] <bentob0x> is it worth having an antivirus on Ubuntu?
[11:56] <devron6> ...
[11:56] <bentob0x> yes I know but still
[11:56] <icesword> if you like,noone will prevent you
[11:56] <hischild> bentob0x, in my opinion no
[11:56] <Tm_T> bentob0x: well, they does scan windows viruses IIRC
[11:56] <friend> antivirus against what?
[11:56] <Tm_T> friend: me
[11:57] <bentob0x> anything could happen via Wine?
[11:57] <bentob0x> for instance?
[11:57] <Stephmw> bazhang: ended up going for the Dell+Ubuntu, in case you remember ;)
[11:57] <icesword> virus need priveliges,right
[11:57] <tmoney_> who put this on a DELL LATITUDE
[11:57] <ygorabreu_br_spa> No..but would fuck up ur wine partition
[11:57] <jtravnick> bentob0x, only reson i use one is to check any files i am sent that i might send on to windows users
[11:57] <hischild> bentob0x, the worst that can happen on ubuntu is a thief comes in and throws a bucket of water on your box ...
[11:57] <bentob0x> or a rootkit
[11:58] <devron6> hischild: actually there is a lot of things that can happen
[11:58] <Tm_T> ygorabreu_br_spa: no f words here ;)
[11:58] <icesword> hehe,backdoors
[11:58] <devron6> There is so much software involved with linux and a lot of holes
[11:58] <ygorabreu_br_spa> [Tm_T]: hmm sry :S
[11:58] <tmoney_> LOL I KNOW
[11:58] <hischild> devron6, i meant in terms of  viruses
[11:59] <devron6> Linux may be very stable and better preformance on a well built system but if you are not more careful you can make windows look like a bullet proof vest
[11:59] <friend> Revolution, Faith
[12:00] <bazhang> Stephmw: nice call!
[12:00] <bazhang> ygorabreu_br_spa: language please
[12:00] <legend2440> !antivirus
[12:00] <ygorabreu_br_spa> [bazhang]: woot?
[12:00] <bentob0x> nice legend2440, thx
[12:00] <tmoney_> i have it on a 2004 dell latitude with every thing stock and it just has linux and it  is so slow
[12:00] <bentob0x> I should've done that before asking ...
[12:00] <bentob0x> :)
[12:00] <Stephmw> bazhang: couple of things I'm tweaking now: hooking up the webcam to lock the desktop, semi-autologin with GDM and selective AP-mode for the wifi
[12:01] <bazhang> devron6: do you have an actual support question
[12:01] <bazhang> ygorabreu_br_spa: oh sorry Tm_T said it already
[12:01] <devron6> dazhang? what makes you think I am here for support lol
[12:01] <tmoney_> lol
[12:01] <bazhang> devron6: then take it to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[12:01] <icesword> 咯咯
[12:01] <icesword> lol
[12:02] <devron6> tmoney_: Do you have Ubuntu installed on your dell if so what version are you running?
[12:02] <devron6> bazhang: I am here to help people who need help
[12:02] <devron6> I have that right
[12:02] <bazhang> Stephmw: sounds nice ;]
[12:02] <bazhang> devron6: then spare us the running commentary please
[12:03] <icesword> abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
[12:03] <devron6> bazhang: someone asked a question and I gave an anserw get over it
[12:03] <tmoney_> i would lik to kno how to watch you tube on this OS
[12:03] <Stephmw> now, I've googled for this, but is there a way of getting GDM to autologin a given user, but *still* ask for a password?
[12:03] <bazhang> tmoney_: you need to install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[12:03] <icesword> ok
[12:03] <zoidberg_> hey guys...is there a program like flash mx ot make 2-3 flash animations on  ubuntu?
[12:04] <icesword> this day is over,good night then bye
[12:04] <bazhang> Stephmw: check users and groups
[12:05] <DASPRiD> iter :)
[12:05] <DASPRiD> rsync will soon be done
[12:05] <GwaiLo> Hi All, doing a ls -lash on a file... I get the following:   0 -rwxrwx--- 1 root plugdev 347M 2008-02-24 13:56 blahblah
[12:05] <GwaiLo> What does the 0 at the start represent? the file isn't reading properly and I think it should. It is an NTFS volume
[12:05] <DASPRiD> was only copying with 6 mb/s :(
[12:05] <GwaiLo> (the file was written under win32 originally)
[12:05] <devron6> tmoney_: open synaptic package manager, do a search for firefox, install firefox, then do another search for flash, and you should see a plugin for firefox install that and you can now watch you tube videos
[12:06] <Stephmw> bazhang: what am I looking for? (there's nothing there gdm-related that I can see)
[12:06] <archman> hello guys, i corrupted my grub loader with qgrubeditor, i want to install grub all over again, i'm in live cd now
[12:06] <Light-> I just go to a site that uses flash and FF prompts me to install it
[12:06] <zoidberg_> hey guys...is there a program like flash mx ot make 2-3 flash animations on  ubuntu?
[12:07] <zoidberg_> hey guys...is there a program like flash mx to make 2-D flash animations on  ubuntu?
[12:07] <Light-> zoid: doubt it, linux doesnt even have a decent flash playe
[12:07] <Light-> +r
[12:07] <archman> how do i do that?
[12:07] <tmoney_> ok then
[12:07] <devron6> archman: do you have just linux installed
[12:07] <devron6> or windows as wall
[12:07] <devron6> well*
[12:07] <DASPRiD> zoidberg_, you may want to use wine
[12:08] <archman> i have ubuntu and windows; i can boot xp, but can't boot ubuntu
[12:08] <devron6> Okay, are they both on the same hard drive?
[12:08] <archman> devron: i have ubuntu and windows; i can boot xp, but can't boot ubuntu
[12:08] <waylandbill> zoidberg_: there is a 'flash for linux' project that aims to do that.
[12:08] <archman> i'm on live now
[12:08] <archman> devron6: yes
[12:09] <devron6> archman: open up terminal
[12:09] <archman> ok
[12:09] <zoidberg_> waylandbill, can you make 2-d animations with that ?
[12:09] <devron6> type e2label /dev/hda1 if it says device not found type sda1
[12:09] <devron6> what is the return
[12:09] <Stephmw> bazhang: just for laughs, I tried the normal autologin... alas doesn't ask for a password
[12:10] <waylandbill> zoidberg_: I assume so as it makes flash animations. see their project page: http://f4l.sourceforge.net/
[12:10] <archman> devron6: for hda1 not found, for sda1 bad magic number
[12:10] <devron6> okay type sda2
[12:10] <waylandbill> zoidberg_: I've never used it personally though
[12:11] <BigAdmin> maybe try hd0
[12:11] <archman> devron6: just does writeline (c# thing)
[12:11] <devron6> okay archman do this
[12:11] <devron6> fdisk /dev/sda
[12:11] <archman> sda2?
[12:11] <devron6> once in there press p 'print'
[12:11] <devron6> no just /dev/sda
[12:12] <devron6> 'fdisk /dev/sda' then 'p' for print
[12:12] <archman> done
[12:12] <devron6> what was the output
[12:12] <archman> should i paste you on the pastebin?
[12:12] <devron6> yes
[12:13] <archman> devron6: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58477/
[12:13] <bazhang> Stephmw: just a sec let me check something
[12:14] <devron6> okay archman: one moment

[12:21] <gemidjy> Jack_Sparrow: thanks
[12:21] <Jack_Sparrow> change user name to you
[12:21] <bazhang> Stephmw: under system administration login window do you see the autologin setting? is that what you are looking for?
[12:21] <thewizkid> anybody able to give me a hint why depmod fails on a clean ubuntu-server install with latest updates?
[12:22] <Stephmw> bazhang: I see that, and it works fine: for my user it logs it in automatically. What I want is to have that functionality, but still have a password request.
[12:22] <bazhang> krept`: what adapter--what chipset do you have; built in or usb dongle
[12:22] <Stephmw> bazhang: I just don't want to have to enter my username everytime I login ;)
[12:22] <jtravnick> why would gnutella seem to take forever to connect?
[12:22] <SeanTater> Is there a reason all these packages are empty? http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-357/pool/
[12:22] <krept`> it's a pci linksys card
[12:23] <krept`> i have the driver cd not sure if it will work on linux though
[12:23] <thewizkid> i try to install iscsi-target on this ubuntu-server, has anybody ever been able to do that? it is not able via modules-assistant and trying to install latest iscsi-target via svn fails due to depmod segfault
[12:23] <Jack_Sparrow> krept`, look into ndiswrapper
[12:23] <bazhang> Stephmw: so auto login but still prompt for password when?
[12:23] <thewizkid>  /able/doable/
[12:23] <DASPRiD> shred: /dev/sde: pass 1/26 (random) <-- this will take a while *G*
[12:23] <Stephmw> bazhang: right!
[12:23] <bazhang> krept`: are you at that machine now?
[12:23] <hyper_ch> exit
[12:23] <krept`> linksys wireless-b pci adapter
[12:24] <krept`> well i'm on my laptop
[12:24] <Jack_Sparrow> bazhang, Good morning
[12:24] <bazhang> Stephmw: sorry that was a question ;]
[12:24] <krept`> but the ubuntu machine is right in front of me, with no internet :)
[12:24] <bazhang> good morning Jack_Sparrow!
[12:24] <Stephmw> bazhang: hehe, so, yes, autologin+password
[12:24] <cdealer> good morning all.  Why cups doesnt start at boot? All my ubuntu boxes are having this problem ... im using ubuntu 7.10
[12:24] <Stephmw> bazhang: I've got the fingerprint scanner working... hence the idea
[12:24] <bazhang> Stephmw: that seems contradictory ;]
[12:24] <bazhang> oh I see ;]
[12:25] <Stephmw> bazhang: not quite... I want the user to be autoselected, but some security to still apply
[12:25] <Stephmw> bazhang: having GDM remember the last user would work just as well
[12:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Stephmw, Do you have the scanner actually checking the print or just scanning an image with xsane
[12:25] <Stephmw> Jack_Sparrow: I have the ThinkFinger pam module running
[12:25] <Stephmw> Jack_Sparrow: so the actual print
[12:25] <devron6> cdealer: one moment let me take a look
[12:26] <krept`> bazhang, the driver disk only has exe files
[12:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Stephmw, great.. was there any tutorial for it.. and which scanner are you using
[12:26] <Ein_> it's not working
[12:26] <bazhang> Stephmw: then you should go to http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ this site and add that--I think you are ahead of the curve if I read your intentions correctly ;]
[12:26] <Jack_Sparrow> !doesntwork
[12:26] <Stephmw> Jack_Sparrow: there's a ubuntu tutorial for it and I'm using the builtin scanner in my Dell XPS 1330
[12:27] <Ein_> bash: /home/user/Desktop/Jacks-Notes/Partition.Layout.03-05-2008-15:22:30.txt: No such file or directory
[12:27] <archman_> devron6: it's not working
[12:27] <bazhang> krept`: can you get a live cd on that machine or is ubuntu already installed on it
[12:27] <Stephmw> Jack_Sparrow: I'll dig up the link, one sec
[12:27] <archman_> devron6: can't boot xp anymore
[12:27] <cdealer> devron6, the service is already in /etc/rc2.d with link to init.d and all executable, and no problem with the config or folder permission, I can start the service manualy but doesnt start at boot...
[12:27] <Slart> How can I select which soundcard flash uses to play sound?
[12:27] <Stephmw> Jack_Sparrow: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ThinkFinger
[12:27] <devron6> cdealer: what is your output of /var/log/cups/errorlog
[12:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Ein_, sudo fdisk -l > ~/Desktop/Partition.Layout.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T).txt                  use shift to paste into terminal
[12:27] <Slart> !flash
[12:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Stephmw, thanks...
[12:27] <devron6> archman: you are booted into the system correct
[12:27] <krept`> i can put a live cd in
[12:27] <archman_> devron6: it's like it stops on grub>
[12:28] <krept`> the device shows up in lspci
[12:28] <devron6> archman: what version of windows are you running
[12:28] <devron6> archman: can you also give me the output of your /etc/grub.conf
[12:28] <bazhang> krept`: could you tell me the exact name in lspci?
[12:28] <Stephmw> bazhang: haha, I'd missed this bit: "I still need to type my login. I want to only swipe my finger. A: Indeed, it would be cool. This is a feature currently not supported by Thinkfinger but it might be available in future releases."
[12:28] <krept`> sure
[12:29] <krept`> 02:04:0 Ethernet controller: Linksys, A Division of Cisco... WMP11v4 802.11b PCI card
[12:29] <bazhang> Stephmw: thus the need to add your idea to the !brainstorm site ;]
[12:29] <krept`> Sybsystem: Linksys Unknown device 0020
[12:29]  * Stephmw is in process of doing so
[12:29] <Ein_> ok... after I did this (sudo fdisk -l > ~/Desktop/Partition.Layout.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T).txt) what should I do?
[12:29] <bazhang> krept`: that seems like an ethernet device; is there no name for the wireless one? what does ifconfig say in the terminal
[12:30] <Jack_Sparrow> Ein_, look at your desktop and look for a new file
[12:30] <archman> devron6: sorry my connection failed; you said something?
[12:30] <Jack_Sparrow> !who | Ein_
[12:30] <Ein_> I sow it
[12:30] <devron6> arhcman: what version of windows are you running? also can you give me the output of /etc/grub.conf
[12:30] <gemidjy> Jack_Sparrow: that command is pre-historic
[12:30] <Jack_Sparrow> Ein_, Open it and see if you see all your partitions
[12:30] <archman> devron6: xp sp2
[12:30] <Ein_> I see them all
[12:30] <krept`> well i have two entries in ifconifg
[12:31] <krept`> one is eth0
[12:31] <Jack_Sparrow> gemidjy, thanks for your opinion
[12:31] <cdealer> devron6, this is the only error I got... when starting manualy it doesnt generate any errorlog... E [05/Mar/2008:08:21:40 -0300] DNSServiceRegister failed with error -65537
[12:31] <krept`> and the other is ethoavah
[12:31] <krept`> then lo which is local loopback
[12:31] <devron6> cdealer: hmm
[12:31] <archman> devron6: /etc/grub.conf does not exist on my machine
[12:31] <devron6> that is wierd
[12:31] <Stephmw> bazhang: I've been beaten to it... by a looooong margin
[12:31] <Stephmw> bazhang: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/2/
[12:32] <netsrot> hi, how do I get swedish chars to work in terminal outside X?
[12:32] <bob__> Hi, i've got a minor question, when i install ubuntu on a system using the alternate disk, at a certain moment it displays "Select and install applications", but i can't really select anything, it just installs the whole bunch
[12:32] <bob__> would be gret if i was able to choose
[12:32] <bazhang> krept`: it may be that it is identifying your network wireless card as an ethernet card--the eth0avah entry it would seem
[12:32] <devron6> archman: one moment
[12:32] <archman> devron6: gutsy
[12:32] <cdealer> devron6, its happen with all my ubuntu boxes .... only with cups...
[12:32] <devron6> archman: what version of windows are you running
 I sow the txt file
[12:32] <archman> devron6: xp sp2
[12:33] <krept`> i see
[12:33] <bazhang> netsrot: you have the language support installed for swedish language?
[12:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Ein_, in the text file.. do you see the partitions you were trying to find
[12:33] <bob__> does anyone have an answer for me?
[12:33] <devron6> archman: give me the output of /boot/grub/menu.lst
[12:33] <netsrot> bazhang: I don't know, how do I check? I don't use gnome or kde btw.
 yes
[12:33] <bazhang> krept`: any info on the box that the computer came in or the specs on what that card is? (ie the exact name)?
[12:33] <devron6> cdealer: are you running desktop or server
[12:34] <Jack_Sparrow> bob__, Perhaps the server or minimal install cds would work better for you
[12:34] <krept`> i built the computer myself
[12:34] <bazhang> netsrot: what do you use for a package manager?
[12:34] <krept`> and i have the driver cd for the card
[12:34] <netsrot> bazhang: synaptic
 I saw them all
[12:34] <archman> devron6: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58481/
[12:34] <bazhang> netsrot: could you please go into synaptic and search for swedish
[12:34] <bob__> Jack_Sparrow: where can i find those? i only know how to get the live and alternate disks
[12:34] <krept`> but it's windows only
[12:34] <krept`> i can open up the pdf manual
[12:34] <Jack_Sparrow> !minimal
[12:35] <netsrot> bazhang: I'm working on it.
[12:35] <cdealer> devron6, desktop install ...
[12:35] <bob__> thanks ubot5
[12:35] <netsrot> bazhang: nope
[12:35] <bazhang> krept`: well you can try to use ndiswrapper but it would be better to use the native linux (if there any) drivers
[12:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Ein_, please refine your question.
[12:35] <devron6> cdealer: okay one moment ill get back to you let me help archman real fast because i was helping him first it will only be another moment
[12:36] <Jack_Sparrow> devron6, nice work on his grub by the way
[12:36] <bazhang> netsrot: then you need to install it--for system wide, open office or whatever you need
[12:36] <devron6> jack: as i told him before he reboots he will have to come back into irc and i will tell him how to boot back into windows
[12:36] <Ein_> I mean I saw all partitions in txt file but what should I do next?
[12:36] <bazhang> krept`: if you checked the pdf that would be great
[12:36] <Jack_Sparrow> devron6, Yep, saw that, easy to fix from there
 I mean I saw all partitions in txt file but what should I do next?
[12:37] <netsrot> bazhang: I want all programs to keep talking english while supporting swedish characters to be typed.
[12:37] <devron6> jack: sorry i am confused then were you being sarcastic when you said nice work with his grub
[12:37] <archman> devron6: ?
[12:37] <Jack_Sparrow> Ein_, What are you trying to do.. with the partitions.  you said you could not see them.. so are you just trying to mount htem
[12:37] <devron6> archman: now for the final step do this
[12:38] <netsrot> bazhang: should I install language-pack-sv and language-pack-sv-base?
[12:38] <krept`> yeah i got it open, any specific information you need?
[12:38] <Jack_Sparrow> devron6, No, I was serious..  not sarcastic.. just saying good work..
 yes I want to mount them
[12:38] <archman> devron6: im on live still!!
[12:38] <devron6> archman: come down buddy :)
[12:38] <archman> devron6: ok
[12:38] <bazhang> netsrot: sounds like a plan ;]
[12:38] <archman> devron6: sorry
[12:38] <devron6> archman: when you booted into grub and you tried to boot of linux what happened?
[12:39] <Jack_Sparrow> !mount
[12:39] <archman> devron6: it just stopped on   grub>
[12:39] <devron6> okay did you see an option for windows
[12:39] <devron6> when you press esc
[12:39] <netsrot> bazhang: and then just reboot and it works?
[12:39] <archman> devron6: didn't try; should i?
[12:40] <devron6> yes lets see if you can atleast get into windows then we will work on fixing your grub to get into linux
[12:40] <devron6> jack: thanks man thought you were being sarcastic at first
[12:40] <devron6> my mistake
[12:40] <Jack_Sparrow> devron6, Sarcasm is wasted in text.. :)
[12:41] <archman> devron6: after when i broke grub i installed some boot loader from hiren's boot cd; will that be a problem?
[12:41] <archman> devron6: though it disappeared now...
[12:41] <Jack_Sparrow> devron6, I am seldom here at this hour of the am...  nice to see others helping
[12:41] <devron6> archman: after I told you what to do to fix grub you installed something of hirens?
[12:41] <devron6> off*
[12:41] <archman> devron6: now it automatically enters grub
[12:42] <devron6> okay good
[12:42] <devron6> when you see the count down 2.... 1....
[12:42] <archman> devron6: NO, before all that
[12:42] <devron6> press esc
[12:42] <bazhang> netsrot: well then you need to go into system preferences keyboard and add swedish as a layout to your kb
[12:42] <devron6> archman: then it should not be a problem
[12:42] <devron6> when you see grub press esc
[12:42] <devron6> and try selecting windows tell me what happends
[12:42] <archman> devron6: ok, seeya, thanks !

[12:56] <krept`> ok thanks bazhang
[12:56] <archman_> devron6: auth
[12:56] <bazhang> krept`: some have reported success that way--others have done the ndiswrapper trick
[12:57] <archman_> devron6: did you get request?
[12:57] <devron6> no
[12:57] <Jack_Sparrow> bazhang, I had exellent results with fwcutter on the bcm43xx
[12:57] <devron6> herm
[12:57] <archman_> devron: is it<EMAIL_ADDRESS> ?
[12:57] <mohbana> hey guys how do i list of all the running processes?
[12:58] <devron6> yes that is me
[12:58] <UbuntuJo1> ps ax
[12:58] <krept`> what is this ndiswrapper trick?
[12:58] <bazhang> netsrot: in the keyboard layout you have to define the trigger key that will switch between the layouts
[12:58] <neeto> What process runs cp?
[12:59] <mad_max02> where can I find americas army full game linux torrent ??
[12:59] <bazhang> !ndiswrapper
[12:59] <netsrot> bazhang: no
[12:59] <mohbana> ps ax | cat -n ... is some jumbled output, how do i count the number of processes runnign
[12:59] <bazhang> see above krept`
[12:59] <UbuntuJo1> cp is a file based command
[12:59] <krept`> ok
[13:00] <neeto> UbuntuJo1: I know, but I am copying a huge amount of files, and I wanted to try and nice the process to see if it would speed it up
[13:00] <bazhang> netsrot: you have not enabled the switch or cannot find it or what--not sure what your 'no' means here
[13:00] <netsrot> bazhang: I only have one layout that is swedish, how could I possibly switch layouts?
[13:00] <UbuntuJo1> ps ax | grep cp
[13:00] <pvh_sa|wrk> heya... i'm trying to install rmagic on gutsy which relies on libgd-graph-perl.... but libgd-graph-perl isn't in any of the repos i can find... its listed on packages.ubuntu.com though - i've done apt-get update, etc. any ideas?
[13:00] <krept`> it's using cisco not broadcom i think
[13:01] <bazhang> ah netsrot did you not say you wanted english as the default and then be able to switch to swedish?
[13:01] <IdleOne> pvh_sa|wrk, download from packages.ubuntu.com and use dpkg -i filename.deb to install
[13:01] <Ergo^> hmm... can i install ubuntu on a 433mhz celeron pc ? will it be workable ?
[13:01] <mohbana> hey guys how do i list of all the running processes?
[13:01] <netsrot> bazhang: I don't have swedish working, I want swedish =)
[13:01] <mohbana> and the total
[13:01] <bazhang> Ergo^: what ram
[13:01] <mohbana> ps ax | cat -n ... is some jumbled output, how do i count the number of processes runnign
[13:02] <IdleOne> Ergo^, how much ram?
[13:02] <Ergo^> bazhang : 128mb
[13:02] <Jack_Sparrow> Ergo^, You might want to try xubuntu or the minimal cd on something like that
[13:02] <IdleOne> Ergo^, yeah you should be ok. might be a little sluggish
[13:02] <netsrot> bazhang: I want swedish to work outside X, you know the terminal you get to when pressing ctrl+alt+F1
[13:02] <vallhalla81> Ergo^: may be kubuntu would be better?
[13:02] <bazhang> netsrot: then go into keyboard, enable the swedish layout, install the swedish language support and define a trigger in the same place that you set the keyboard layout
[13:02] <Hewus> Anyone know a program that logs the amount of traffic passing through a network interface over time?
[13:02] <Pici> mohbana: echo $(( $(ps aux | wc -l) - 1 ))
[13:03] <Ergo^> i have xubuntu on that but i dont like it very much ;]
[13:03] <bazhang> Ergo^: then that would be no--you might try fluxbuntu though
[13:03] <Pici> mohbana: All the extra stuff is there only because I don't know what the ps switch is to get rid of the column headers
[13:03] <mohbana> Pici, thanks
[13:04] <pvh_sa|wrk> IdleOne, thanks!
[13:04] <IdleOne> pvh_sa|wrk, np
[13:06] <Ergo^> thanks guys
[13:06] <Ergo^> im quite surprised how well ubuntu can replace windows along with wine...
[13:06] <Ergo^> tried using pure debian but installing nvidia drivers on 8800gts defeated me :(
[13:07] <quittt> is your navigator crashing when you use Flash, and then closes the windows with it?
[13:07] <quittt> it happens on SeaMonkey and Firefox
[13:07] <st_iron> I compiled 1.0.15 alsa driver, utils, lib and I don't have sound yet
[13:07] <HearMeNVIDIA> Hi, i just bought a 9600GT but Xorg fails. It says : Connection reset by peer.
[13:07] <st_iron> alsamixer said: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
[13:08] <HearMeNVIDIA> And, how can i Recreate xorg.conf ? i deleted it :/
[13:08] <bazhang> what drivers are you using HearMeNVIDIA
[13:08] <neeto> Is there a program to see what a process is doing in real time? and/or is there a way to see which files are being copied into a certain directory in real time?
[13:09] <zoidberg_> so is there really anything really new about Ubuntu 8.04?
[13:09] <quittt> HearMeNVIDIA: why have you done that?!?
[13:09] <zoidberg_> i didn't really see any new features
[13:09] <quittt> is there a new ubuntu?
[13:09] <HearMeNVIDIA> bazhang: default ubuntu nvidia drivers : 10xxx .
[13:09] <Pici> quittt: Every 6 months, next one is due in April
[13:09] <Ergo^> zoidberg_ : yes there some very nice updated packages like postgresql-8.3 , pylons, django and stuff
[13:09] <zoidberg_> quittt, they're working on it...i think the relase date is sometime in march or april
[13:09] <Jack_Sparrow> st_iron, Is that some sort of usb sound card or internal?
[13:10] <bazhang> Hardy discussion is in #ubuntu+1 ;]
[13:10] <zoidberg_> Ergo^, whats django?
[13:10] <quittt> nice
[13:10] <Ergo^> pyhon framework
[13:10] <pvh_sa|wrk> zoidberg_, pulseaudio, for one?
[13:10] <Pici> !hardy
[13:10] <quittt> I just don't understand why they don't put SeaMonkey in it
[13:10] <quittt> instead of Iceape
[13:10] <devron6> jack: grub just is not being nice for that poor guy
[13:11] <quittt> hardy?? hahaha
[13:11] <Jack_Sparrow> devron6, Something elase happened when he tried that hirens cd
[13:11] <quittt> duro
[13:11] <Jack_Sparrow> quittt, Please stop
[13:11] <devron6> jack: I agree I am having him reboot now hopfully this will fix the issue
[13:11] <devron6> jack: just had him try reinstall grub again a diff way
[13:12] <quittt> Jack_Sparrow: didn't get it
[13:12] <st_iron> Jack_Sparrow: internal intel hda sound
[13:12] <st_iron> Jack_Sparrow: in an asus f7f notebook
[13:13] <Jack_Sparrow> st_iron, The people over in /j #Alsa can help you get that going...  I am still waiting for coffee to wake me up
[13:13] <devron6> st_iron let me send you the directions for the sound
[13:13] <Jack_Sparrow> !intelhda
[13:14] <st_iron> devron6: let's start
[13:14] <devron6> actually ubot beet me to it
[13:14] <Jack_Sparrow> st_iron, remember when you compile the drive, it mutes all the channels.. you did check that right
[13:14] <devron6> beat*
[13:14] <st_iron> Jack_Sparrow: alsamixer doesn't work :O
[13:14] <bloupotlood> hi guys
[13:14] <st_iron> alsamixer said: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
[13:14] <Jack_Sparrow> ok
[13:14] <tortho> Anyone running VirtualBox under Hardy?
[13:15] <bloupotlood> ive got a problem, i recently got VMware, running ubuntu, i get the log on screen, prompting for a username and password?
[13:15] <bloupotlood> any ideas?
[13:15] <Jack_Sparrow> tortho, Wrong channel
[13:15] <devron6> st_iron did you download and compile the latest releases of alsa_driver, utils, firmware, libs
[13:15] <archman> devron6: nothing...; hangs on grub> ...
[13:15] <dgjones> tortho, the people in #ubuntu+1 might be, thats where the Hardy support is
[13:15] <hischild> bloupotlood, maybe log in?
[13:15] <st_iron> devron6: nope, 1.0.15
[13:15] <Ergo^> yesm enter your username and password there  -)
[13:15] <bloupotlood> with what username and password hischild?
[13:15] <tortho> dgjones: Thanks, I'll try that
[13:15] <Jack_Sparrow> st_iron, let me see if I have my notes on that..
[13:15] <hischild> bloupotlood, with the ones you created when you installed ubuntu
[13:16] <devron6> st_iron download and install the latest alsa-driver. lib and utils
[13:16] <bloupotlood> oh, right, lol, sorry i think im running it off the disc
[13:16] <bloupotlood> shoud probably install it first :(
[13:16] <bloupotlood> :)
[13:16] <Ergo^> btw. how does up upgrading to next versions work ? what is upgraded and what is not upgraded for various reasons ?
[13:16] <hischild> bloupotlood, when you run it of the live disc, it doesn't have a password :-)
[13:17] <Dex-Freudii> how do I fix uncontiguous files on a partition?
[13:17] <bloupotlood> mmm
[13:17] <bloupotlood> thats wierd
[13:17] <bloupotlood> so what could be the issue here, VMware?
[13:17] <Piet44> i got a fatal: module battery not found with ubuntu jeos 7.10 when i install jdk. someone knows how to fix? searched already on google but nothing found
[13:17] <st_iron> Jack_Sparrow: I think I have to set the default sound device
[13:17] <hischild> bloupotlood, did you have ubuntu installed before?
[13:17] <bloupotlood> nope
[13:17] <hischild> hmm ...
[13:17] <bloupotlood> im running it from XP
[13:17] <st_iron> Jack_Sparrow: I'm just wondering where can I do that
[13:17] <bloupotlood> using VMware
[13:17] <hischild> bloupotlood, i meant in vmware =)
[13:17] <bloupotlood> asking for a username and password...
[13:17] <seby> bye
[13:18] <bloupotlood> oh lol, no hischild
[13:18] <bloupotlood> hischild does Virtual PC run ubuntu?
[13:19] <hischild> bloupotlood, i've heard stories about it running, yet most people seem to be having a real hard time doing so ...
[13:19] <hischild> bloupotlood, in that case i would suggest virtualbox =)
[13:19] <bloupotlood> oh, dang i wonder what the deal is with the VMware username password buhg
[13:19] <bloupotlood> ah ok :)
[13:19] <Ergo^> can someone explain to me how upgrading ubuntu os looks like?
[13:20] <nickthorley> does anyone know of an ubuntu fan site where users post their good looking customised desktops in a gallery?
[13:20] <Jack_Sparrow> st_iron, Do one more thing  remove and reinstall libasound2  with synaptic
[13:20] <nickthorley> jack_sparrow: hi again
[13:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Hi
[13:21] <bazhang> bloupotlood: from windows xp?
[13:21] <youtux> hi, can someone help me to configure gnokii?
[13:21] <nickthorley> jack_sparrow: you should be paid as a support person the amount of time you spend helping in here - not that i'm complaining
[13:22] <hischild> bloupotlood, if you're talking to me, could you try to put my name in the sentence? ( type his and then hit tab) so that the messages light up on my end
[13:22] <Jack_Sparrow> nickthorley, Thanks..  I try
[13:22] <bazhang> bloupotlood: you really should ask in the ##windows channel for that
[13:22] <HearMeNVIDIA> Hey, can someone explain me how can I install a nvidia driver from nvidia.com [Manually] ?
[13:22] <hischild> bazhang, no, his live cd is asking for a password ... from ubuntu ... his host is xp
[13:22] <xukun> How can I backup my ntfs partion with dd?
[13:22] <bloupotlood> its wierd
[13:23] <Jack_Sparrow> HearMeNVIDIA, It is seldom necessary to do that... but see the link that follows
[13:23] <Jack_Sparrow> !nvidia
[13:23] <bloupotlood> i downloaded the vmware ubuntu version though, could be that perhaps
[13:23] <st_iron> Jack_Sparrow: ok
[13:23] <HearMeNVIDIA> Jack_Sparrow: I have a 9600gt and i really need it :)
[13:23] <HearMeNVIDIA> thanks for this link.
[13:24] <nickthorley> i am happy with ubuntu on my laptop and would like to replace my f8 pc with an ubuntu one - does anyone see any problem with me installing ubuntu keeping the /home partition untouched which is ext3 filesystem and then mounting it in ubuntu - there shouldnt be any difference in the filesystems should there but could there be a difference in where ubuntu expects to find conf files
[13:24] <Dex-Freudii> how do I fix uncontiguous files on a partition?
[13:24] <bazhang> bloupotlood: that would be it then
[13:24] <Stephmw> bazhang: now starting to wonder if I can somehow get cryptoroot using the fingerprint scanner ;)
[13:25] <youtux> does anyone can help me to configure gnokii?
[13:25] <bazhang> Stephmw: sounds interesting; post back if you get it working ;]
[13:25] <bloupotlood> mmm
[13:25] <bloupotlood> so theres some sort of VMware user/password then
[13:25] <bloupotlood> great...
[13:26] <Jack_Sparrow> nickthorley, I would expect some issues trying that..
[13:27] <Stephmw> bloupotlood: iirc vmware needs to load kernel modules... would you prefer it ran as root?
[13:27] <bloupotlood> oh kk
[13:27] <bloupotlood> im trying Virtualbox
[13:27] <bloupotlood> looks pretty nifty
[13:27] <nickthorley> jack_sparrow: do you think i would be best letting it create a home partition on the / partition initially and then copy over my required files, maildata, xchat settings etc individually?
[13:28] <bazhang> bloupotlood: vmware versions of ubuntu are not the same as straight ubuntu--best to get the real thing for virtual pc ;]
[13:28] <bloupotlood> lol, k
[13:28] <Jack_Sparrow> nickthorley, I would create the default on /  then try to point home to your old partition, if that does not work well, point it back and copy over
[13:29] <bloupotlood> well it seems to be working fine on virtualbox, ta guys :)
[13:30] <Jack_Sparrow> nickthorley, Assume you know this but   http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome
[13:30] <DonkeyKong101> any1 know about getting printer sharing to work....the computer with the printer is running windows ( unfortunitley)
[13:31] <waylandbill> DonkeyKong101: you can set that up using System->Administration->Printing. Windows printers via SAMBA are supported.
[13:32] <bloupotlood> is VMware able to run a normal .iso of ubuntu?
[13:32] <bloupotlood> instead of a VMware version?
[13:32] <bazhang> yes bloupotlood
[13:32] <bloupotlood> oh sweet
[13:32] <nickthorley> jack_sparrow: thanks - did know most of it but some of the commands on ubuntu are new - slightly different on ubuntu.  Not that I am questioning you but what would be different from a home in f8 and a home in ubuntu - dont all the pieces of software use standard files and locations
[13:33] <DonkeyKong101> my network is pretty well setup i think...i can access all files on my windows computer...i added the printer (found it on the network) the problem i have is it only send about 100kb of the file...then nothing...it almost prints..teases me...then just doesnt
[13:33] <bloupotlood> nope, using VMware, normal ubuntu ISO, asking for a username password, wiiiierd
[13:33] <Jack_Sparrow> nickthorley, I would like to think they used all standard locations.. but .. I hate to assume..
[13:35] <Llewxam> can anyone tell me how i can format a new laptop with vista to install 7.10?
[13:35] <Jack_Sparrow> nickthorley, Perfect example might be .mozilla/plugins
[13:35] <bloupotlood> this is wierd indeed
[13:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Llewxam, Are you trying to dual boot or just wipe vista off
[13:36] <Llewxam> wipe it off
[13:36] <bloupotlood> running VMware, normal ubuntu ISO, username password on log on. lol, anyone got an idea?
[13:36] <Jack_Sparrow> bloupotlood, Are you sure you are seeing the ubuntu login screen and not a request from vmware?
[13:36] <Lartza517> Hmm... I cant connect to domains
[13:36] <bloupotlood> Jack yes man, its the login screen
[13:36] <Lartza517> i can play netgames
[13:37] <Lartza517> but cant use firefox
[13:37] <Jack_Sparrow> bloupotlood, than as suggested earlier try asking in WIndows
[13:37] <bloupotlood> kk
[13:37] <bloupotlood> just #windows?
[13:37] <Lartza517> i cant connect to domain addresses, but i can play netgames
[13:37] <Jack_Sparrow> bloupotlood, or vmware or vbox...
[13:38] <nickthorley> jack_sparrow: yes see your point - prob easier to let it create one and then move in anything i need in after
[13:38] <donusa_01> Hi Pitel
[13:38] <nickthorley> bloupotlood: could it be keyboard settings - like wrong country which is messing with the characters and hence you inputting the wrong password?
[13:38] <bloupotlood> k ta im asking there now
[13:39] <Jack_Sparrow> nickthorley, best to have the installer create one as default even if you dont use it, than need it and not have it
[13:39] <Viper111> hello thre
[13:40] <nickthorley> jack_Sparrow: yes think i will do that and then mount the old home and move everything into 1 folder and then set ubuntu to use the new partition with folder as home and then I can copy bits I need over for each prob
[13:40] <Lartza517> hypn0: other comps can connect to web
[13:40] <plamen> hi
[13:40] <Jack_Sparrow> nickthorley, I just see too many things that might cause you issues like permissions etc.  and it would be nice to have a working gui to try and straighten it out
[13:41] <nickthorley> jack_sparrow: does my last suggestion sound like a plan?
[13:42] <ConstyXIV> how secure is a SSH tunnel?
[13:42] <Jack_Sparrow> nickthorley, I would let ubuntu make /home on root...   try to use the page I gave you to set your old home as the new home and see if it works..
[13:42] <archman> devron6: nothing; should i reinstall? will i then be able to boot into xp?
[13:42] <Pici> ConstyXIV: As secure as anything else you do in SSH.
[13:43] <Jack_Sparrow> nickthorley, you can always create folder on root, wipe old /home and create new home from ubuntu default /homer on root and copyu stuff back
[13:43] <nickthorley> jack_sparrow: will do - plan to do it this weekend so will let you know - if I do that and an individual prog gives me probs I can always save out the bits I need (such as bookmarks in firefox) and then delete the directory and let it recreate it
[13:43] <Jack_Sparrow> correct
[13:44] <amortvigil> hey ive just installed ubuntu but im getting the error about missing a font path when starting x (i installed server edition) how can i fix this?
[13:44]  * Bosan brb hunting cewe dulu ahkkk
[13:44] <nickthorley> jack_sparrow: thanks - cant believe I am doing it really - been a total redhat/fedora fan for about 10 years and now going ubuntu
[13:44] <Llewxam> huh... now when i try running livecd i get an endless stream of i/o errors 0.o
[13:44] <DonkeyKong101> i tried to setup my printer again.....i can see it on my windows network...it just wont print anything....only a couple kbs get sent thru, then nothing?
[13:45] <alanhaggai> Llewxam, the I/O errors and the squashfs errors?
[13:45] <Llewxam> yep
[13:45] <Ergo^> if i have /home on separate partition is it better to reinstall ubuntu to 8.04 or rather rely on upgrading from network ?
[13:46] <Llewxam> those definitely would be it alanhaggai
[13:46] <alanhaggai> Llewxam, I too have the same problem with my other PC when trying to boot with the Live CD. Still have not found a solution to it.
[13:46] <Jack_Sparrow> nickthorley, we are here to help you over the rough spots
[13:46] <Llewxam> worked last night. i really wanna wipe vista off. >.<
[13:47] <devron6> jack: archman will be on shortly asking how to add xp to his grub menu can you help him out i have to go in a few moments
[13:47] <Bosan> back cwe lari samua....lolz
[13:47] <nickthorley> jack_sparrow: do you know any websites that have equivalent commands for people switching - like in fedora you do this and in ubuntu you do this etc
[13:47] <Jack_Sparrow> nickthorley, not really
[13:48] <Viper111> i need to setup my squid but am not sure i can do it myself so any can offer help
[13:48] <Jack_Sparrow> devron6, sure will keep an eye out
[13:48] <nickthorley> jack_sparrow: maybe that is my calling to note everything I struggle with and then write a conversion guide
[13:48] <devron6> jack: thx
[13:48] <incorrect> hello, i am having issues witht he nvidia driver,
[13:48] <Dante123> hi all.  My pc is SOMETIMES failing to boot up into Ubuntu.  When it does I turn it off and then back on again and then it almost always boots properly.  I turned off splash so I could see when it hangs.  The point where it hangs is when it says "Reading files needed to boot".  If I restart and then hit enter at grub menu....it will reboot without a hitch.  Any ideas?
[13:48] <Jack_Sparrow> nickthorley, Documentation always helps
[13:48] <incorrect> when X starts the panel goes into power saving mode
[13:48] <stanis_sh> hi all
[13:49] <stanis_sh> does anybody knows how to set up routes for vpn?
[13:50] <graspol> hello there
[13:50] <nickthorley> jack_sparrow: one prob I did have last night was flash - i got the do you want to install plugins thing in firefox and I said yes install flash and it did and then said would nee dto restart browser which I did but then it came back and still said I needed to install the same plugin - any ideas
[13:51] <Jack_Sparrow> Dante123, I would suspect problems on that drive..
[13:51] <amortvigil> how do i install the fonts needed for xorg?
[13:51] <Ergo^> nickthorley : , install flash-nonfree with synaptic - worked very well for me
[13:51] <Jack_Sparrow> nickthorley, Install manually, their auto installer has had issues
[13:52] <nickthorley> jack_sparrow: when you say manually you mean from the adobe site
[13:52] <Ergo^> nickthorley: : you can install flash with synaptic
[13:52] <Dante123> Jack_Sparrow hmmm....any suggestions for determining hd errors or fixing them
[13:52] <Jack_Sparrow> see ergo above
[13:52] <Jack_Sparrow> Dante123, fsck
[13:52] <Jack_Sparrow> brb, need to make nice with the wife
[13:52] <Dante123> type that from terminal
[13:53] <Dante123> right?
[13:53] <nickthorley> jack_sparrow: nice - is this a private nice or did you meal rice haha
[13:54] <Dante123> should I boot up a live cd then run fsck without having the drive mounted?
[13:54] <nickthorley> dante123: which partition is it that you have a problem with?
[13:54] <Dante123> did you read my original boot problem....might give some background
[13:55] <Dante123> nickthorley...the drive in question has windows and ubuntu on it (fairly new drive)
[13:55] <Llewxam> hmmm. k then how do i wipe off vista now?
[13:56] <Dante123> I get a "Reading files needed to boot".  If I restart and then hit enter at grub menu....it will reboot without a hitch.  Any ideas?
[13:56] <nickthorley> dante123: not had enough experience with ubuntu to comment on what it could be but I would fsck all filesystems and yes for root you will have to boot from the rescue cd
[13:56] <Dante123> I've read that running fsck on mounted partition can cause all kinds of problems
[13:57] <hischild> Dante123, thus boot from a rescue disc and then fsck?
[13:57] <nickthorley> yes it can do so best off rescue cd then all should be unmounted
[13:57] <Anubis_be> Does anyone knows a good WYSISYG html editor?

[14:00] <bloupotlood> ill be doing it after N+, any tips? :)
[14:00] <Ergo^> well you want to use xhtml and css2 anyways ;P
[14:00] <Ergo^> so wysywig is not a good route, you will learn bad things from it

[14:01] <wigren> I need help mounting an SD card with Ubuntu 7.10 laptop
[14:02] <wigren> i've tried this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/AcerAspire5601AWLMi/HowTo#head-1d524a1bbe9634283a733cec4e3d1cf57684079a but.... nothing
[14:03] <Llewxam> and asking again: how can i wipe off vista with live cd?
[14:04] <wigren> i have an Averatec 6130HS-20
[14:04] <Pici> Llewxam: Run gparted from the live-cd, and reparition/reformat
[14:04] <Ergo^> Llewxam : when you run live cd and push install it will allow you to repartition
[14:04] <Pip> Llewxam, What you mean ?
[14:05] <Llewxam> what i want is to erase vista completely and leave ubuntu
[14:05] <Llewxam> thought about partition editor and using the format option on the vista partition
[14:06] <raiderxx> Jack_Sparrow, you there?
[14:06]  * Bosan ttwa dalam hati
[14:06] <Bosan> p puru so saki
[14:06] <Pici> !en | Bosan
[14:07] <dgjones> Llewxam, if you don't need to keep any partitions on the machine, you can just tell the installer to use the whole of the drive, which will erase Vista and create a new partition just for ubuntu
[14:07] <Llewxam> dgjones, k i'm gonna try that now.
[14:08] <dgjones> Llewxam, it might be an idea to set up a seperate partition for /home though rather than just letting the installer use the whole drive automatically
[14:08] <wigren> can anyone provide a tutorial that deals with recognizing SD cards? googling didnt help much
[14:08] <SlimG> How do I display info (home folder location etc.) regarding a user using CLI?

[14:19] <cjae> hi using ubuntu 7.10 and have changed gdm theme to one from gnome-look and it doesn't seem to have a spot where I can switch to another desktop environment, may I add this somehow?

[14:20] <Viper111> i tried to use it as proxy but its not working
[14:20] <Viper111> wat should i do next
[14:20] <raiderxx> Jack_Sparrow, I'm pretty sure I used envy, but since then I have installed a fresh copy of ubuntu.
[14:20] <Jack_Sparrow> cjae, If the gdm theme you added does not have options menu, it is not a simple task to add one in
[14:20] <Robson309> erUSUL: yes
[14:21] <erUSUL> raiderxx: aouch!! with a 8xxx series card you will need the drivers from nvidia.com or use envy (both options dangerous if you do not know what you a are doing) if you want 3d acceleration
[14:21] <cjae> Jack_Sparrow, ok do you have time for one more question ... related?
[14:21] <Jack_Sparrow> sure
[14:21] <raiderxx> erUSUL, AKA Im screwed?
[14:22] <alanhaggai> Hi. Which is a good video compression software in Ubuntu?
[14:22] <erUSUL> raiderxx: until next version of ubuntu (in April) or you use the (dangerous) options...
[14:22] <erUSUL> alanhaggai: avidemux? mencoder? ffmpeg?
[14:23] <alanhaggai> erUSUL, thank you. I will install them.
[14:23] <Jack_Sparrow> raiderxx, No, 8800 works, but needs the nvidia special drivers..  we spent a lot of time yesterday when you didnt say or admit you had used envy.
[14:23] <cjae> Jack_Sparrow, I also changed my background/wallpaper and from when I hit enter to when I get my desktop I still get that godawful brown before it loads my desktop, how may I get  rid of  this?
[14:24] <Jack_Sparrow> cjae, try to change it under system  admin ... login window ...
[14:24] <raiderxx> Jack_Sparrow, I thought I said I did.. But I formatted the HDD and reinstalled ubuntu.
[14:25] <Jack_Sparrow> raiderxx, I just got back to my desk, so tell me what brought up the suggestion of envy on your pc?
[14:26] <raiderxx> Jack_Sparrow, well, the first time I installed ubuntu, envy just sort of popped up and I was like, hey! This is how I get my drivers!
[14:26] <Jack_Sparrow> raiderxx, FYI, I fully agree with erUSUL
[14:26] <raiderxx> Jack_Sparrow, envy was already there
[14:27] <Jack_Sparrow> raiderxx, Envy was part of your ubuntu install..?
[14:27] <raiderxx> Jack_Sparrow, yes
[14:27] <cjae> Jack_Sparrow,  ok I clicked under tab of local under login window and selected black already but it still makes the ugly brown, what else can I change?
[14:27] <Jack_Sparrow> raiderxx, Where did you download the cd?
[14:28] <raiderxx> Jack_Sparrow, I don't remember offhand, it might be in my history on Vista.
[14:28] <archman> devron6: still there????
[14:28] <Pici> raiderxx: What version of Ubuntu did you download?
[14:28] <Jack_Sparrow> archman, He had to leave, but I told him I would help you with adding windows to your grub..ok?
[14:28] <raiderxx> Pici, how can I tell?
[14:28] <peace> anyone can talk with me in private about how to install nvidia drivers normally.. i have many questions and i cant tell everything in here
[14:29] <archman> Jack_Sparrow: all went well, i reinstalled gutsy, grub works flawless, everything is ok
[14:29] <Jack_Sparrow> archman, gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[14:30] <Jack_Sparrow> archman, Great, he asked me to look after you when you got back
[14:30] <erUSUL> peace: System>Admin>Restrictred drivers
[14:30] <bazhang> peace best to do it in channel for the edification of all ;]
[14:30] <archman> Jack_Sparrow: thank you both guys, everything's back again, say hi to devron
[14:31] <Pici> raiderxx: lsb_release -a on the command line
[14:31] <dBarton> How do I make controls in Ubuntu 7.10 to appear on the left side of the window, like in Mac OS X?
[14:31] <Jack_Sparrow> archman, Glad to hear it..   will let him know.. thanks
[14:31] <archman> Jack_Sparrow: btw, whats the difference between gksudo and sudo ?
[14:31] <raiderxx> Pici, I have 7.04
[14:31] <danand> raiderxx - installation of the driver from nvidia.com is not _that_ difficult - think you will need the kernel headers for your current kernel though - you may wanna do an sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`. if i remember rightly the install from nvidia uses an install script that must be run as root while X is not running. Sure the README will explain it a lot better than i have though. luck :)
[14:31] <Jack_Sparrow> dBarton, I like cairo-dock for the osx look...
[14:31] <peace> nvidia restricted drivers are old and with them fatal x error happens many many times... all i want is to install 169drivers from nvidia.com and its a mess with this thing..
[14:31] <dgjones> !gksudo | archman
[14:32] <Jack_Sparrow> archman, gksudo is for gui apps.. it is dangerour to use sudo for gui apps.. see the link that follows
[14:32] <Jack_Sparrow> !gksudo
[14:32] <dBarton> Jack_Sparrow: I don't want OS X look, I just want the controls on the left... I'm kinda a Mac user and it's hard to adjust. =)
[14:32] <Pici> raiderxx: If Envy came with your installation you'll have to find out where you got it from because we definitely don't support it.
[14:32] <raiderxx> Ok.
[14:32] <bazhang> uh oh envy
[14:32] <erUSUL> peace: 'sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)' install build-essential too. Then stop X 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop' and run the installer from a VT (terminal)
[14:32] <ubotu> archman: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)
[14:32] <archman> Jack_Sparrow: ok, thanks; another one: is it reliable to edit grub loader pic with qgrubeditor ?
[14:33] <raiderxx> Pici, then where do you suggest downloading a "clean" version of ubuntu?
[14:33] <cjae> Jack_Sparrow, did you catch that
[14:33] <Aranel> Hi, i bought a new Gigabyte P35C-DS3R , it works wonderful but I cant get sound from it :/
[14:33] <Jack_Sparrow> cjae, I am in the middle of a couple other questions, dont have time to help with your color selections..
[14:33] <danand> raiderxx - www.ubuntu.com
[14:33] <archman> so it's better to always use gksudo?
[14:34] <erUSUL> archman: gksudo is for graphical apps
[14:34] <Jack_Sparrow> archman, I always use gksudo gedit myself  or sudo nano  etc
[14:34] <peace> i did it yesterday..and its a big mess now in my pc erusul
[14:34] <komputes> archman: only for graphical apps
[14:34] <raiderxx> danand, hmm.. Thought I tried that.. lol. Ok.
[14:34] <raiderxx> Thank you everyone for your help.
[14:34] <cjae> Jack_Sparrow, got thought maybe was bug, thanks
[14:34] <archman> ok guys, thanks
[14:34] <komputes> archman: sudo for command line apps is fine
[14:35] <erUSUL> peace: well nobody says is trivial... did you let the installer configure your xorg.conf?
[14:35] <archman> great support, guys, you're the BEST !
[14:35] <Jack_Sparrow> we try
[14:35] <erUSUL> peace: the last time i did that the instaler left the xorg.conf on my home instead of overwritting /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[14:35] <archman> :-)
[14:36] <peace> i let it do everything it wanted to do... but after i instaled 169... the linux was not found neither graphical drivers, nor monitor drivers..and after i did it manually..it was resolution 800*600 and no 3d support( no game launches )
[14:36] <archman> ;-)
[14:36] <xGeek> wow I'm impressed...
[14:36] <xGeek> I got all of the compiz effects working with an integrated radeon 200m
[14:37] <xGeek> smoothly too... pretty neat.
[14:37] <peace> now i disabled restricted drivers..and now i want to uninstall all drivers with add/remove..and then to install it freshly? ( i doubt it will be ok.)
[14:37] <erUSUL> peace: boot into recovery mode and try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg'
[14:37] <Jack_Sparrow> Aranel, YOu may need to recompile your alsa drivers for that..  please use version 15 not 16  and you may need to remove and reinstall libasound2
[14:37] <archman> folks, i forgot to ask is it safe to use qgrubeditor? i want to change picture on loader?
[14:37] <bazhang> !brainstorm
[14:37] <Jack_Sparrow> !alsa

[14:38] <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
[14:38] <Aranel> thanks.
