[19:42] <poningru> Gre2: then just upgrade
[19:42] <tacone> then upgrade
[19:42] <Gre2> Installed it about 5 minutes before I got on here
[19:42] <skullr> Brownster, let me see
[19:42] <Brownster> skullr, but i was trying to find the easier way of doing this
[19:42] <crdlb> ChromeTiger_: join #compiz-fusion
[19:43] <cassiopea> Hey. I have two installations of linux on my machine, but every time I boot into ubuntu and then into my other linux installation, the system time is two hours late. Where can I set ubuntu to consider the system clock as the local time?
[19:43] <poningru> !upgrade | Gre2
[19:43] <ubotu> Gre2: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[19:43] <ramza3_> is there a hard drive you would stay away from.  Eg., maxtor or western digital?  Also, can linux suppor the 300-500 GB drives?
[19:43] <mular> anyone know why totem won't play dvds but VLC player does?
[19:43] <skullr> Brownster, thansks any way
[19:43] <ChromeTiger_> k
[19:43] <tacone> you should see some notice about a new distribution available in synaptic.
[19:43] <tony_math> ChromeTiger_: The cube has to  be enabled in compiz-manager. System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Effects Settings.
[19:43] <poningru> ramza3_: yes it will support all those drives
[19:43] <BjoeHrn> Hey
[19:43] <ChromeTiger_> tony_math:  it is
[19:43] <Synx_hm> How can i remove an old RAID-0?  The text install cd wont let me del the old md0 or add a new one, ive whipped out the partition table a number of times
[19:43] <ramza3_> poningru, you like maxtor or WD?
[19:43] <Brownster> skullr, i think there is an easier way
[19:43] <poningru> mular: it has libdvdcss built in iirc
[19:43] <Gre2> sudo !upgrade?
[19:43] <tacone> ChromeTiger_: how many desktops do you have ?
[19:44] <skullr> Brownster, i'll see this one
[19:44] <BjoeHrn> When I use the fglrx driver I can activate the desktop effects. Can anyone help me to activate the effects?
[19:44] <tacone> you need 4 to see the cube.
[19:44] <Brownster> skullr, ok
[19:44] <poningru> ramza3_: wd if new, maxtor if the drive is made before 2000
[19:44] <poningru> Gre2: go to that website it tells you how to upgrade
[19:44] <fabr> Anyone who knows some C language and can help me with a tiny problem?
[19:44] <poningru> !dvd | mular
[19:44] <ubotu> mular: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[19:44] <docgnome> fabr: I'll try.
[19:44] <skullr> Brownster, i tried this
[19:45] <skullr> Brownster, that didn't work for me
[19:45] <fabr> docgnome: Okay, let's get in #helpmec, since I'm not identified ^.^
[19:45] <poningru> mular: that should hep you play dvds in totem
[19:45] <Gre2> Doing it now
[19:45] <piotruntu> hello guys
[19:45] <yubwyub> what do i press to see the cube ?
[19:45] <Jordan_U_> mular, totem is not great for DVD's, I would go with VLC / gxine /mplayer
[19:45] <tacone> Gre2: great !
[19:45] <Gre2> *crosses fingers*
[19:46] <fabr> yubwyub: ctrl+alt+mouse tilt
[19:46] <Jordan_U_> !ccsm | yubwyub
[19:46] <ubotu> yubwyub: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion
[19:46] <tacone> yubwyub: ctr+alt + drag drop
[19:46] <Brownster> skullr, r u mounting root, proc and dev before chrooting?
[19:46] <tony_math> ChromeTiger_: is "Rotate Cube" also checked in compiz-manager as well?
[19:46] <sYn_0n3> sup fellow ubuntuers
[19:46] <yubwyub> fabr "mouse tilt" ?
[19:46] <Gre2> So, once 7.10 is installed, how do I go about resolving the black screen problem with my video card?
[19:46] <piotruntu> When I try to play flash movies Firefox crashes after a while. I got the adobe flash thingy.
[19:46] <poningru> Gre2: black screen problem?
[19:46] <fabr> yubwyub: yeah, like click and drag.
[19:46] <Gre2> I've tried getting nvidia drivers, but I haven't had much luck
[19:46] <fabr> docgnome: /poke
[19:46] <poningru> Gre2: whats the problem?
[19:47] <tacone> yubwyub: ctrl+alt+ left mouse button pressed and move the mouse
[19:47] <skullr> Brownster, how do i unmount chroot??
[19:47] <docgnome> fabr: sorry. was afk for a second
[19:47] <fabr> docgnome: Okay, let's get in #helpmec, since I'm not identified ^.^
[19:47] <yubwyub> thanks tacone
[19:47] <Brownster> skullr, u dont, type exit
[19:47] <tacone> yubwyub: works ?
[19:47] <Gre2> Yea, I am using a brand new GeForce 8400GS, but so far, I can't get it to work.  When I updated the drivers it just loads to the black screen and stops
[19:47] <Jordan_U_> skullr, "exit"
[19:47] <Gre2> I see nothing, I can do nothing
[19:47] <Gre2> When I took out the video card and hooked the monitor into the onboard POS one, it ran fine
[19:47] <tacone> Gre2: which videocard you have ?
[19:47] <Brownster> skullr, mount in this order, root, then proc then dev then chroot
[19:47] <sethk> Gre2, try using the "nv" driver
[19:47] <windego40> hello all
[19:48] <mular> does 30min dvd rip times seem "average"? using k9copy
[19:48] <Gre2> GeForce 8400GS, and I will have to try that Seth
[19:48] <tacone> Gre2:
[19:48] <yubwyub> yep it works :-)
[19:48] <sethk> Gre2, that's an open source driver that supports nvidia but does only 2d.  that will tell us whether it is, or isn't the driver
[19:48] <Brownster> skullr i take it grub worked ok then it got hosed?
[19:48] <tacone> Gre2: try restricted drivers section
[19:48] <windego40> i was wondering if anyone could help me getting ubuntu 7.10 boot from my usb drive
[19:48] <poningru> mular: what do you mean rip?
[19:48] <Gre2> Tacone: Restricted Drivers?
[19:48] <tacone> yubwyub: nice !
[19:48] <sethk> Gre2, I have a new machine at work with an 8600, and I had to use the driver from nvidia's web site to get 3d, but that's rare.
[19:48] <tacone> System>administration->restr..
[19:49] <gandhii> Is there a gui program for handling par2 and/or p7zip?
[19:49] <piotruntu> When i use firefox, i always get no response when im at a site that uses flash (youtube). i have adobe flash installed but people said downloading it through firefox is what gives it the problem, how do i fix all of this?
[19:49] <makuseru> hi, when i try to run a program called dguitar i get this error, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48476/ what does it mean, how can i fix it?
[19:49] <poningru> mular: dude keep it in the channel
[19:49] <sethk> piotruntu, actually, that's backwards.  downloading it through firefox is what usually makes it work.
[19:50] <poningru> mular: how big is the dvd? double layered?
[19:50] <RoDoX> piotruntu: the same problem here...
[19:50] <piotruntu> hmmm
[19:50] <poningru> !7z
[19:50] <ubotu> Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression
[19:50] <mular> not a double layer cd
[19:50] <piotruntu> i tried getting it througth teh mozilla plugin page and I got a link to the adobe page downlaod instrall and then crash
[19:51] <tacone> !wmv
[19:51] <poningru> mular: does it show up as 9gigs or 4.7?
[19:51] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[19:51] <mular> well the dvd that I am ripping is double layer, but I am shrinking it to 4.7
[19:51] <BjoeHrn> Use anyone fglrx and the desktop effects?
[19:51] <Gre2> "Your Hardware does not need any restricted drivers"
[19:51] <Gre2> Does it matter if I am running off the CD right now?
[19:51] <Gre2> See, here's my main problem:  I install 7.04 off my CD, reboot, and it locks up unless I load with a safe graphics mode, which is from the cd.
[19:51] <gandhii> ubotu: yea.. but not rar's..  or par's for that matter
[19:51] <poningru> piotruntu: what are you trying to do?
[19:51] <poningru> !rar
[19:51] <ubotu> rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[19:51] <piotruntu> fix the plugin for flash I guess
[19:51] <tacone> Gre2: it's because you don't have the card plugged in I guess
[19:51] <Gre2> See, here's my main problem:  I install 7.04 off my CD, reboot, and it locks up unless I load with a safe graphics mode, which is from the cd.
[19:51] <gandhii> thanks
[19:51] <piotruntu> because it makes firefox unresposive when I try to go on youtube and sucj
[19:51] <sethk> Gre2, if it says "does not need restricted", then either the repo nvidia driver doesn't have support for your card, or it's misidentifying your card.  I think the nv driver may be what you need.
[19:51] <Gre2> And I have the card plugged in.
[19:52] <shamas> can somebody help me with screenlets manager?
[19:52] <cleaton> Gre2, use the safe graphics while you upgrade to 7.10
[19:52] <Gre2> Thanks Seth.  Do you think 7.10 will see my card
[19:52] <tacone> Gre2: sigh
[19:52] <RoDoX> pitruntu: i did it as well, and then I uninstalled FF. Once i already had automatix2, it got the MPlayer for firerox and the flash plugin but it still didnt work
[19:52] <Gre2> Tacone: I know.  approaching the 14 hour mark.
[19:52] <tacone> Gre2: i guess 7.10 improved support
[19:52] <sethk> Gre2, yes, since it finds my 8600, I believe it will find your 8400
[19:52] <shamas> I'm getting an error: unable to connect or launch daemon, some values may be displayed incorrectly
[19:52] <Jummy> Please enter the installation path of the Mozilla, Netscape,or Opera browser, but when i type /usr/lib/mozilla he says it's an invalid path oO
[19:52] <Jordan_U> !automatix | RoDoX
[19:52] <ubotu> RoDoX: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe »
[19:52] <sethk> Gre2, obviously, each new version supports newer cards
[19:52] <RoDoX> although ppl in here says that automatix2 is not recommended...
[19:52] <poningru> Jummy: what are you trying to do
[19:53] <atlef> !automatix | RoDoX
[19:53] <tacone> Gre2: anyway 7.10 is worth an upgrade routine :-)
[19:53] <Gre2> I hope so.  I was getting rather mad and with my old XP computer, I went through 4 mice in the 3 years I've had it.  Didn't want to lose one on the first day of Linux.
[19:53] <sethk> RoDoX, a lot of people have reported that automatix borked their machine.
[19:53] <^^barbi^^> hey
[19:53] <Dr_willis> automatix is highly NOT recommended. :)
[19:53] <RoDoX> Jordan_U: yeah man, I got it and i read the article.. ;-)
[19:53] <Jummy> i wannt to install flash plugin because i got no sound in videos @ firefox
[19:53] <piotruntu> Rodox: u also have problem ?
[19:53] <RoDoX> piotruntu: yeah
[19:53] <Dr_willis> Jummy,  installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras package yet?
[19:53] <piotruntu> u tried the adobe plugin right ?
[19:54]  * Dr_willis wonders if the flash 'bug' has been fixed yet?
[19:54] <Jummy> Dr_willis: nope
[19:54] <Dr_willis> Jummy,  its a must get. :) intalls java and a lot of other bits you will proberly want also.
[19:54] <Jummy> i don't know anything about this package
[19:54] <Dr_willis> !info ubuntu-restricted-extras
[19:54] <tacone> Dr_willis: i have no problems with sound in flash with 7.10
[19:54] <Jummy> !info ubuntu-restricted-extras
[19:54] <cleaton> !upgrade
[19:54] <RoDoX> i also realized that FF is too "heavy" on my machine...The browser consumes up to 76MB of ram with 2 tabs opened up...is that normal?
[19:54] <tacone> but I had with 7.04
[19:54] <Jummy> tacone: me to :D
[19:54] <piotruntu> Is it possible to try Gnash in Feisty ?
[19:54] <Dr_willis> tacone,  im referng to the md5 issue that showed up last week.
[19:54] <ubotu> ubuntu-restricted-extras: Commonly used restricted packages. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 10 (gutsy), package size 3 kB, installed size 32 kB
[19:54] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[19:55] <tacone> RoDoX: yes :-(
[19:55] <RoDoX> tacone: what about FF3 'gran paradiso'?
[19:55] <RoDoX> have they (mozilla) fixed it? =P
[19:55] <piotruntu> Is Gnash avaliable for Fesity Users ?
[19:55] <tacone> RoDoX: i don't know, but I don't think they're going to work on it. FF works fine on newer computers
[19:55] <Jordan_U> RoDoX, It's much better, get the Beta though ( Gran paradiso was the alpha )
[19:56] <sethk> RoDoX, "normal" has no accepted definition.  There are other browsers available that are lighter weight, but I find that so many sites rely on heavy features that it's best to not fight the trend.
[19:56] <tacone> RoDoX: try to disabled fast forward-rewind
[19:56] <soldats> !gnash
[19:56] <ubotu> An open source flash replacement.  It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/
[19:56] <Jasnation> hi, I am following this howto- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=18106  -and have made the changes to xorg.conf. however, when I login, either the x server or GNOME crashes/restarts, and I am back at the login window. if I chose failsafe gnome as the session, I can login and see the desktop, but I can't really do anything because its failsafe gnome.
[19:56] <Jasnation> any suggestions?
[19:56] <piotruntu> how do i completely remove firefox and all the addons that came with it. When i install firefox again I dont want it to have adobe flash already installed on it, i want to install that separately
[19:56] <Gre2> Great
[19:56] <Gre2> Now I'm getting errors trying to upgrade
[19:56] <Gre2> I'll copy and paste

[19:56] <Muse> what do i install to get multiple codecs for videos and mp3s, since they are not working right now
[19:57] <Gre2> Lost con again
[19:57] <RoDoX> tacone: fast forward-rewind?
[19:57] <utty> anyone know a key gen for hsfmodem to enable full speed
[19:57] <Gre2> Update manager is locked
[19:57] <tacone> RoDoX: firefox memorize past pages
[19:57] <Dr_willis> piotruntu,  if you installed flash system wide. You need to remove flash system wide. Removing firefox wont remove the other packages
[19:57] <tacone> you can disable that
[19:57] <loko_loko> hola a tod@s
[19:57] <loko_loko> que cuentan?
[19:57] <tacone> also it seems they are working on the memory issue http://www.google.com/search?q=firefox+reduce+memory+usage&btnG=Search
[19:57] <piotruntu> Dr Willis: whatd o u mena by wide ?
[19:57] <danil> i get gibberish all over the screen when i try to run a ncurses (which is emulating termcap) program, after which i can't use the terminal anymore because all the chaacters are wrong. what's wrong?
[19:57] <Jummy> but how to install a .deb package?
[19:58] <Dr_willis> piotruntu,  if you used the flash deb packages.. you just isntalled it for everyobne
[19:58] <RoDoX> tacone: but that happens only when the machine gets turned off accidentally...then it memorize the last pages you visited...right

[19:58] <tdoggette> Is there a way to add thumbnail support to Firefox's file selection, either by modifying or replacing gtkfilechooser?
[19:58] <tacone> RoDoX: no, rodox
[19:58] <Muse> can somebody tell me. i remember a package to install that gets alot of codecs... what was the name
[19:58] <Dr_willis> !w32codecs
[19:58] <ubotu> The Win32 codecs are available from the Medibuntu repositories (see « /msg ubotu medibuntu »), and for releases prior to Gutsy, also at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[19:58] <Tyczek|PC> I don't know how to install that radeon hd ;/
[19:58] <tacone> RoDoX: it keeps in mind the last 3-4-5 pages you visited in order to let you go back more fast (with the back button)
[19:59] <piotruntu> how do i completely get rid of adobe flash ?
[19:59] <tdoggette> Muse, w32codecs
[19:59] <Dr_willis> piotruntu,  use the package manager - if thats how you installed it.
[19:59] <Muse> tdoggette: how to get them.. also i remember another package name
[19:59] <tacone> RoDoX: also watchout for the extensions you use, some have some serious memory leak http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions
[19:59] <Jummy> Dr_willis: i downloaded the .deb file but i dont know how to install im a ubuntu noob
[19:59] <Dr_willis> Jummy,  what .deb ?
[19:59] <RoDoX> tacone: you know, i realized that even minimized, the 'firefox-bin' keeps screwing up my memory eating it so much...
[20:00] <Jummy> Dr_willis: ubuntu-restricted-extras_10_sparc.deb
[20:00] <Gre2> grr
[20:00] <piotruntu> Dr Willis: I installed it in through firefox!
[20:00] <Dr_willis> Jummy,  normally one does not download individual .deb files - you use the package manager. and let IT install the stuff.  You are wasteing your dime downloading that .deb manually
[20:00] <cleaton> Gre2, what are you doing now?
[20:00] <Brownster> Jasnation, when it crashes does the message mention using failsafe screen
[20:00] <tdoggette> Muse, sudo apt-get install w32codecs
[20:00] <electro_> has anyone gotten wpa to work with gibbon?
[20:00] <Gre2> Lost connection in the middle of a DL, now my update manager says "Software Index is broken - Run Synaptic"  click to run Synaptic - "Another Synaptic is running, wait for it to finish"
[20:01] <poningru> Jummy: you are running it in spark?
[20:01] <othinspear> hi can some one help me im trying to get audacity to work on ubuntu but im not getting any sound cooming out alll my other programs have sound and  iv try the obvious
[20:01] <Dr_willis> piotruntu,  i have no idea then.  If it just installeed fotr that user. its proberly in the .firefox/.mozilla  dir.
[20:01] <poningru> er sparc?
[20:01] <tdoggette> Muse, google ubuntu codecs
[20:01] <tacone> RoDoX: firefox is heavy. that's widely-accepted truth. you can only try to get things a little better. like http://howto.helpero.com/howto/Reduce-Firefox-Memory-Usage_4.html
[20:01] <kbrooks> gandhii: i'm not sure if any program supports both, but http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Flinux.softpedia.com%2Fget%2FSystem%2FArchiving%2FPAR2GUI-23741.shtml&ei=tINlR6msCoHWgQK4x_n-Dg&usg=AFQjCNEWjlwoLclad8XL2vmwmKz7Z8liiQ&sig2=NP2E_FZy8wwBaEyQ7RgHVg could work for par2 and the archive manager supports it when you install the corresponding package

[20:02] <Brownster> electro_, no ones gonna admit to that
[20:02] <ryantmer> Long question: I have an old laptop (Twinhead Slimnote VX) which I put Kubuntu 6.06 LTS on. Worked fine, but no sound, and considering I want to use it as a jukebox, no good. So I installed 7.10, sound works now, but the touchpad doesn't work anymore! Anybody have any idea what the difference is between 6.06 and 7.10 in this respect, and any way to fix it?
[20:02] <othinspear> i would like to know if i can turn ubuntu into ubuntu studion without reinstalling the whole system
[20:02] <electro_> lol
[20:02] <cleaton> electro_, wpa just works for me
[20:02] <sethk> kthakore, ok ...
[20:02] <kthakore> sethk, I swithced it back and no more problem apparently dbus was been started at wrong time in boot queque
[20:03] <sethk> othinspear, I believe so, but I haven't done that specific transformation.
[20:03] <Brownster> electro_, mine works ok, ive got an edimax card rt2500 driver
[20:03] <Dr_willis> othinspear,  check the ubuntu-studio homepage/wiki/faq - proberly they have some repos you add. and a meta-pacakge you can install
[20:03] <kthakore> DShepherd, awesome enjoy
[20:03] <cleaton> electro_, i don't have to do anything special i have a intel chipset wireless
[20:03] <electro_> i have wpa installed but when i connect to my access point it continusouly prompts me for the passphrase

[20:03] <sethk> electro_, that usually means the handshake is failing.  Trying using a hex key instead of a pass phrase.
[20:03] <kthakore> DShepherd, np hey do u know how to get videos of veoh
[20:04] <kthakore> DShepherd, or atleast the flv
[20:04] <electro_> wpa will take hex?
[20:04] <DShepherd> kthakore, veoh?
[20:04] <RoDoX> tacone: thanks for the links. i'm gonna take a look at them right now...but i really think that mozilla should study this case a lot in order to make FF to become 'hungryless'...and the only addon im using is the mcafee site advisor...nothing that much heavy...5MB
[20:04] <adamski84> how do i get my games to run in full screen mode with wine?
[20:04] <kthakore> DShepherd, its like youtube but better
[20:04] <DShepherd> kthakore, oh, no
[20:04] <sethk> electro_, Yes, although I can't tell you the mechanics for it.
[20:04] <Greg> cleaton?
[20:04] <tonyyarusso> utty: While I wish they made the source available and free of charge, that doesn't make it okay to pirate the software, so unfortunately you'll just have to cough up the $19.99 and be glad it at least works.
[20:05] <Greg> I got booted
[20:05] <electro_> ok thanks, ill try that
[20:05] <othinspear> ok im trying to figure out why audacity will not work  gi is there but iv got no sound
[20:05] <Brownster> electro_, what card is it?
[20:05] <scragar> anyone experienced this before? Rightclicking on my DVD drive and clicking Eject causes the message: "Unable to mount media. There is probably no media in the drive". And I am clicking Eject and not mount.
[20:05] <crush_groove> bbl
[20:05] <electro_> its a notebook and its the dell wireless 1500
[20:05] <Jordan_U> RoDoX, You should honestly try FF3b1,
[20:05] <cleaton> Greg, priv msg
[20:05] <wems> is it possible to run ubuntu and windows xp on one machine and use the same file space?
[20:05] <electro_> the card that has N
[20:05] <sethk> Greg, does that mean you were able to start your machine, or you were ejected from the channel?   :)
[20:05] <wems> so i dont have to have 2 partitions
[20:05] <scragar> wems: not really
[20:05] <mular> adamski84: I believe when I installed wine it was default in full screen.. but if you do winecfg in a terminal and hit graphical there are all sorts of things you can set
[20:06] <electro_> oh does 7.10 have support for wireless N?
[20:06] <sethk> wems, you can run from CD, but that's not really what you asked.
[20:06] <wems> no its not, but is what i asked possible? :)
[20:06] <wems> like lets say im in windows and i install a program, i basically want to be able to use that program in linux/also windows
[20:06] <RoDoX> although its still in beta version i would like to...but only if you'd tell me that this scenario changes with this new version...
[20:06] <othinspear> like the same hard drive yea
[20:06] <wems> something like that?
[20:06] <wems> ya
[20:06] <adamski84> what games arew you ruuning mular?
[20:06] <wems> so is that possible?
[20:07] <wems> or how do i do that?
[20:07] <sethk> wems, no, that's not possible.
[20:07] <brylie> Is there a way to use OpenID or LDAP to allow users to login to an Ubuntu PC? Also, is there a way to limit a user's daily access to, say, 3 hours or so?
[20:07] <mular> well I tried starcraft and that runs but very slow for some reason.. searched on the net for ages and couldn't find anything to help it.. I loaded up warcraft 3 and that runs flawlessly go figure
[20:07] <scragar> wems: files yes, executables not unless you use something like wine to force compatability, and then the drive is different and will cause problems
[20:07] <tacone> i am also looking for games that run fine in wine
[20:07] <othinspear> from what i know no its not but im not shure
[20:07] <tacone> any title ?
[20:07] <mular> I tried to install something newer Call of duty 4 / gears of war but I couldn't get directx working right
[20:07] <kthakore> has anyone gotten portal to run on wine
[20:07] <othinspear> linux has better software anyway  just find a program to do it that was  made for your distro
[20:08] <cleaton> tacone, warcraft 3
[20:08] <electro_> can anyone confirm battlefield 2142 working on 7.10?
[20:08] <cleaton> tacone, check the winehq
[20:08] <tacone> cleaton: something more action oriented ? :-)
[20:08] <sethk> mular, we have COD version 2 working in linux at work.  Haven't tried 4
[20:08] <tacone> cleaton: ok
[20:08] <poningru> brylie: yes
[20:08] <othinspear> so can anyone pint me toward an audacity chat room
[20:08] <poningru> just search for user quota online
[20:08] <poningru> and search for ldap authentication ubuntu
[20:08] <scragar> kthakore: not personaly, but I know it can be done
[20:08] <mular> sethk, thats awesome.. I wonder why 3d movies run good but 2d <starcraft> does not lol
[20:08] <shawnrgr> Is it possible to user the gnome-sound-recorder to record sound playing through my speakers?
[20:08] <cleaton> tacone, http://appdb.winehq.org/
[20:08] <sethk> mular, that I can't even guess about.
[20:09] <kbrooks> gandhii: are you there? are you satisfied with my answer?
[20:09] <Brownster> shawnrgr, why?
[20:09] <brylie> ok, thanks poningru
[20:09] <cleaton> tacone, steam works, with cs hl2, portal etc
[20:09] <gandhii> yea,  thanks alot
[20:09] <poningru> brylie: thats more of a sys-admin thing and not really very easily explainable
[20:09] <kthakore> scragar, I know I check wine db but I keep getting a dx8 need by portal
[20:09] <mular> sethk, have you figured out how to use a iso file as opposed to using the cd with wine? I have a nice big harddrive with all my cds backed up but then the game whines about cd not in drive so I had to download a no cd crack
[20:09] <kthakore> cleaton, portal keep asking me for directx 8
[20:09] <Brownster> shawnrgr, u could with a mike but why would u want to?
[20:10] <shawnrgr> Brownster, i want to get a song from a youtube video
[20:10] <brylie> poningru, would LDAP or OpenID be a better candidate for local login while allowing remote folder access?
[20:10] <brylie> poningru, would LDAP or OpenID be a better candidate for local login while allowing remote folder access?
[20:10] <shawnrgr> Brownster, but don't want to rip video then audio, then encode, then burn lol
[20:10] <sethk> mular, I'll ask one of the gamers at work about that tomorrow.  Look for me here in the afternoon (New York City time)
[20:10] <Brownster> shawnrgr, i see, :)
[20:10] <DShepherd> where can i upload big files? (other than rapid share
[20:10] <mular> ok will do thanks sethk :)
[20:10] <shawnrgr> Brownster, could you help me accomplish this?
[20:11] <scragar> kthakore: ask in the steam forums, I know they help linux users get their games running normaly(if you got portal in orangebox anyway)
[20:11] <poningru> brylie: ldap
[20:11] <piotruntu> Hey is there any program that will make your LCD display look better/sharper ?
[20:11] <poningru> openid isnt meant to be an authentication system really
[20:11] <Jasnation> hi, I am following this howto- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=18106  -and have made the changes to xorg.conf. however, when I login, either the x server or GNOME crashes/restarts, and I am back at the login window. if I chose failsafe gnome as the session, I can login and see the desktop, but I can't really do anything because its failsafe gnome.
[20:11] <Jasnation> any suggestions?
[20:11] <brylie> OK, thank you poningru

[20:15] <kbrooks> DShepherd, box.net
[20:15] <ompaul> karolos, what is the command you are using?
[20:15] <kbrooks> DShepherd, anything else you want?
[20:15] <comicinker> where can I find ubuntu packages? (excluding the repos)
[20:15] <MGalaxy> How can I set a .iso file as a repository?
[20:15] <karolos> ompaul, "ps -A | grep name" and simple "fg"
[20:15] <Brownster> shawnrgr, u still there?
[20:15] <shawnrgr> Yes
[20:16] <Flare183> comicinker:> getdeb.net
[20:16] <kbrooks> DShepherd, i mean, is that one site enough, or do you want more?
[20:16] <rico> hey, I have an iPod, but when I right-click on it's icon on my desktop I see "Unmount volume" instead of "Eject"
[20:16] <DShepherd> kbrooks, not right now. well money works :D
[20:16] <Flare183> rico:> same thing
[20:16] <DShepherd> kbrooks, that's ok. let me check out this one first. if I need more then i will let you know
[20:16] <shawnrgr> Brownster, yes i'm here. my nick isn't registered, can you still msg me?
[20:16] <brylie> comicinker, some projects release .deb files for Ubuntu.
[20:16] <Myrtti> rico: yyyyees?
[20:16] <comicinker> brylie: not anjuta
[20:16] <ompaul> comicinker,  http://archive.ubuntu.com/pool
[20:16] <Flare183> rico:> just umount it and then unplug it
[20:16] <Brownster> shawnrgr, ill try now
[20:16] <DShepherd> kbrooks, is there anyone that i dont need to login to?
[20:16] <ompaul> karolos, no what command are you chasing
[20:17] <DShepherd> kbrooks, or signup.
[20:17] <kbrooks> DShepherd, hmmm.
[20:17] <brylie> comicinker, is anjuta a specific project?
[20:17] <karolos> ompaul, what do you mean?
[20:17] <comicinker> Flare183: thanks. sorry to say they don't have anjuta 2.2.3
[20:17] <ompaul> karolos, what command are you trying to find - the clue must be in there
[20:17] <shawnrgr> Brownster, hold on one sec

[20:18] <comicinker> brylie: it's a IDE, and the version in the ubuntu repos has a bug
[20:18] <karolos> ompaul, i'm trying to  find john that program
[20:18] <Ericl80427> Java doesn't seem to work on Firefox, even after downloading JRE, can anyone help me?
[20:18] <john> you are?
[20:18] <Vanden> Hi does anyone know if the live environment on the live CD for x86 and x86_64 are the same ? I'm asking because wireless worked on the live [x86_64] CD but not after install.
[20:18] <dogfishguzzler> Do torrents pose any security risk to linux? Should I scan torrents before using them?
[20:18] <shawn34> Brownster, ok, i switched to my registered nick
[20:18] <DShepherd> kbrooks, ah, ok thanks
[20:18] <moi> hi
[20:18] <brylie> comicinker, perhaps try the forum for Anjuta. What type of IDE is it?there might be an alternative.
[20:19] <ompaul> karolos, I still have not got the answer I thought i was asking for, so what exactly is the command line you were running that you put an & after
[20:19] <[IoD]JoeBlack> Hi, i just moved much files from hdb1 to hda6 via ssh, well, "ls -la" now gives just one folder on hda6 :-( There should be plenty folders. Suprisingly, "df -h" gives 99% used for hda6 - where are my folders?
[20:19] <karolos> ompaul, oh ok i did "./john --restore &"
[20:20] <comicinker> brylie: in the IRC they said: try to find a package. or compile. but I already tried to compile with no good results
[20:20] <kbrooks> MGalaxy, mount it, and put the path to the repo from the cd in /etc/apt/sources.list

[20:20] <Dr_willis> Ericl80427,  how did you install java?

[20:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about anjuta - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[20:21] <Jordan_U> Ericl80427, You need the Firefox plugin as well
[20:21] <ompaul> karolos, strange my thoughts are that it should have worked - as in come to the foreground  you are in the same terminal I take it
[20:21] <Dr_willis> Ericl80427,  you may want to install the 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' package. It should get java installed and goind
[20:21] <Ericl80427> I used the Synaptic Package Manager
[20:21] <karolos> ompaul, hm? my mistake ... i exited the terminal and logged back again(through ssh)
[20:21] <comicinker> brylie: its a c/c++ enviroment for gnome
[20:21] <Ericl80427> I will try it
[20:21] <shawn34> Brownster, are you still there, you should be able to msg me now
[20:21] <Dr_willis> !find plugin
[20:21] <ubotu> Found: abiword-plugins, abiword-plugins-gnome, compiz-fusion-plugins-extra, compiz-fusion-plugins-main, gnumeric-plugins-extra (and 342 others)
[20:21] <ompaul> karolos, you need to run screen for that
[20:22] <xtknight> how does color management work in ubuntu?  where do i set the ICC profile for my display?
[20:22] <Brownster> shawn34, just sent you a msg
[20:22] <Jordan_U> Ericl80427, Install sun-java6-plugin
[20:22] <brylie> comicinker, would a python IDE such as Boa Constructor help?
[20:22] <ompaul> karolos, screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen
[20:22] <Ericl80427> Ok will do
[20:22] <kbrooks> MGalaxy, do you know how to mount? by the way, if you insert a cd, a dialog box should show
[20:22] <brylie> Python
[20:22] <MGalaxy> kbrooks: how? u mean something like this: deb /home/mgalaxy/myDVD.iso ?
[20:22] <kbrooks> MGalaxy, no
[20:23] <Jordan_U> xtknight, There is a possibly helpful instruction on how to set the color profile @ wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBook
[20:23] <shawn34> Brownster, is your nick registered?
[20:23] <MGalaxy> kbrooks: deb /media/cdrom2 ?
[20:23] <brylie> comicinker, Eclipse has C++ extension
[20:23] <Brownster> shawn34, anyway take a look at jack, no i haven't is that the problem?
[20:23] <kbrooks> MGalaxy, you need to make the CD look like a directory
[20:23] <rico_> hey, I have an iPod, but when I right-click on it's icon on my desktop I see "Unmount volume" instead of "Eject."
[20:24] <Vanden> rico they mean the same
[20:24] <hottis> rico_: and the problem was?
[20:24] <comicinker> brylie: Eclipse rocks, I know...
[20:24] <rico_> this is a problem to me because "unmount" will merely umount the volume (iPod will be stuck at the "Do not disconnect" screen), unless I "eject" (using /bin/eject) it myself
[20:24] <Brownster> shawn34, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToQjackCtlConnections
[20:24] <rico_> is there a way to change this?
[20:24] <brylie> Try Boa Constructor / Python?
[20:24] <karolos> ompaul, any easier way
[20:24] <xtknight> Jordan_U, thanks.  i was wondering how to get image viewer apps like Eye of GNOME (eog, which claims to support ICC) to convert images to my profile for proper viewing.  i dont know how to tell Eye of GNOME which profile to use, and xicc, which is supposed to set the X-wide profile for a display,  doesn't seem to do anything
[20:24] <Azrae2> lol hey im in!
[20:25] <rico_> hottis: this is a problem to me because "unmount" will merely umount the volume (iPod will be stuck at the "Do not disconnect" screen), unless I "eject" (using /bin/eject) it myself

[20:29] <eTranquility> Hi, can anyone help me with installing fonts in gnome? I've tried to copy them into fonts:///, but it tells me the files already exist and ask whether I want to replace, skip, etc. I know they don't already exist, I've just downloaded them. Did I miss something?
[20:29] <ghostknife> rico_: Dr_willis : when I use dpkg it tells me that the whatever is in use, because I'm installing something through synaptic p.m. Can i have it ignore this, as I only want info on this package file
[20:29] <Dr_willis> ghostknife,  close all other package manager tools...
[20:29] <Dr_willis> install one thing at a time.. using one tool at a time

[20:30] <rottie_> cedega is much easier to implement then wine
[20:30] <ghostknife> Dr_willis: I figure that, but they are busy. So I wanted to know if I could force it to ignore the database. Does it really need to use it?
[20:30] <cleaton> but cedega isn't free

[20:33] <altu59> I am running jeos inside vmware
[20:33] <altu59> I have installed rails

[20:33] <tuna> Is there any easy way to recursively mass rename all files in a folder to lowercase?
[20:33] <brylie> lifeforms, are you choosing to install 6.06 because it is LTS?
[20:33] <rico_> wine has debs? ok
[20:34] <Vanden> Hi does anyone know if the live environment on the live CD for x86 and x86_64 are the same ? I'm asking because wireless worked on the live [x86_64] CD but not after install.
[20:34] <altu59> or access apache on port 80
[20:34] <rico_> let me check then :)
[20:34] <altu59> is there something I have to configure? iptables?
[20:34] <lifeforms> brylie: yes, that is correct
[20:35] <lifeforms> I like to be conservative
[20:35] <brylie> lifeforms, it might be a repo error/timeout.
[20:35] <spyder> i need some help entering commands in the terminal it keeps telling me permission denied without asking for a password?
[20:35] <lifeforms> brylie: the machine is configured without networking (well, it has network but no defaultroute).. do you think this could be the problem?
[20:35] <Flare183> !root | spyder
[20:35] <ubotu> spyder: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[20:35] <adamski84> what is the best web browser for ubuntu?
[20:35] <eTranquility> Can anyone help me with installing fonts in gnome? I've tried to copy them into fonts:///, but it tells me the files already exist in the folder and asks whether I want to replace, skip, etc. I know they don't already exist, I've just downloaded them. Did I miss something?
[20:35] <Flare183> !sudo | spyder
[20:35] <ubotu> spyder: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[20:36] <Nvrnight> I have installed Ubuntu on a separate machine and I can't seem to connect to the internet with it, I am using a Linksys router, anyone know where I can find the help for this?
[20:36] <spyder> ok thanks
[20:36] <brylie> lifeforms, try gNewSense, it uses 6.06 files on a mirrored repository.
[20:36] <lifeforms> brylie: the last line in Alt-F4 console is "Setting up ubuntu-standard (0.120)
[20:36] <wols> Nvrnight: how is that ubuntu machine connected?
[20:36] <brylie> lifeforms, what is your host OS?
[20:36] <Nvrnight> into the router
[20:36] <lifeforms> brylie: Also Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, however the 64bit version (guest = 32bit)
[20:36] <mudore> sorry, I can'f find the correct model of sound card, to the "/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base" :( (inspiron 1521)
[20:37] <brylie> lifeforms, might QEmu be a solution to try?
[20:37] <spyder> is there a command or application to tell me how hot my system is right now?
[20:37] <lifeforms> brylie: I hope not :> I'm working on a "production" server..
[20:37] <wols> spyder: lm-sensors or mbmon
[20:37] <mudore> How can Can I get the correct model of my sound card?
[20:37] <wols> Nvrnight: not to where but HOW
[20:37] <lifeforms> hmm, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=216686 seems to be describing the same problem!
[20:38] <Nvrnight> through ethernet, cat5 cable
[20:38] <tacone> lifeforms: ready-appliances of ubuntu 6.06 server exists
[20:39] <mudore> any lead?
[20:39] <brylie> spyder, gdesklets has a temperature app
[20:39] <brylie> spyder, ktemperature
[20:39] <wols> brylie: where does it get its info?
[20:39] <NET||abuse> hmm, anyone know how i can copy a DVD film to i dunno, divx
[20:39] <wols> Nvrnight: what network card?
[20:39] <brylie> wols, I just did a synaptic search for 'temperature'
[20:39] <RoDoX> tacone: ...lthough for some reason it keeps using the same amount of memory when minimized, as if it was maximized >/
[20:40] <wols> NET||abuse: k9copy
[20:40] <tacone> RoDoX: you can set that behaviour on about:config
[20:40] <FluxD> !xen
[20:40] <ubotu> XEN is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. Information on installing it for Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen
[20:40] <wols> brylie: those apps only show the temp that lm.sensors collects
[20:40] <Nvrnight> there's only one network card installed, it's not built into the motherboard, it's using a slot on the machine
[20:40] <NET||abuse> wols, ok,, will that deal with ripping the protection?
[20:41] <eTranquility> Can anyone help me with installing fonts in gnome? I've tried to copy them into fonts:///, but it tells me the files already exist in the folder and asks whether I want to replace, skip, etc. I know they don't already exist, I've just downloaded them. Did I miss something?
[20:41] <lifeforms> tacone: maybe I'll try that one... thanks
[20:41] <wols> NET||abuse: I don't know. it should, otherwise it's pretty useless
[20:41] <NET||abuse> :) jus tried gnomebaker and it failed
[20:41] <brylie> XEN sounds cool, I installed it but setting up guest OSs is VERY manual it seems.
[20:41] <NET||abuse> or else i had a broken blank ;)
[20:41] <sethk> allbert, the rule here is we do not abet copyright infringement ...
[20:41] <tacone> rodox: http://www.solo-technology.com/blog/2005/12/23/quick-firefox-tweak-free-mem/
[20:41] <brylie> Is there a way to limit an user account's daily login time? Some people are abusing their access to public computer terminals.
[20:42] <sethk> s/allbert/all/
[20:42] <Tyczek|PC> Allright potentially... I installed Ati binary X.Org driver. Should I only reset system after it or should I run any commands, edit xorg?
[20:42] <sethk> brylie, look into quotas.
[20:42] <unique> is ubuntu the linux that has 3d?
[20:42] <sethk> unique, all linux has 3d
[20:42] <brylie> sethk, disk quotas?
[20:42] <Dr_willis> life is 3d
[20:42] <Dr_willis> :)
[20:43] <sethk> brylie, that might work; not much you can do without disk access.  Network quotas.  You might have to punt a bit to get what you want, but I think it's possible
[20:43] <hottis> unique: you should first define what you mean by 3d
[20:43] <brylie> sethk, I would like to implement disk quotas too.. with http access so that users can access their files remotely.
[20:43] <spyder> anybody know how to fix problems with acpi?
[20:43] <unique> is ubuntu the linux that has 3d?
[20:43] <sethk> brylie, disk quotas are supported.
[20:44] <brylie> ! disk quota
[20:44] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about disk quota - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[20:44] <casdio> hi
[20:44] <tacone> unique: you are talking about cube, flames, woobbyness and stuff ?
[20:44] <brylie> ! quota

[20:44] <Brownster> unique, the latest version of ubuntu does have the 3d desk effects by default
[20:44] <casdio> i don't have sound on my asus, can you hel me?
[20:45] <unique> Brownster: is that with gnome or what?
[20:45] <n-iCe> Hi how do I install gmake
[20:45] <Brownster> unique, ubuntu has the gnome desktop by default but...
[20:45] <spyder> sudo echo? not working?
[20:45] <johnsky> I have an issue upgrading to Ubuntu 7.10. I have allocated a partition at the beginning of my hard drive specifically for /boot. Problem is, when upgrading, it needs to add a few things to /boot and I didn't plan ahead. Short of repartitioning that entire area of my hard drive, is there anything I can do? What files in /boot are necessary, and what can be eliminated?
[20:45] <lifeforms> hmm, now that VM doesn't come up at boot at all anymore.. probably looking at a VMware issue rather than an Ubuntu issue
[20:45] <Brownster> unique, nothing stops u installing all the kde desktop if you want and switch between them..
[20:46] <MGalaxy> kbrooks: it didnt work, error message: "E: Malformed line 46 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (URI parse)"
[20:46] <Brownster> unique, or, if u want just kde u can download kbuntu
[20:46] <sinthetek> a day or two ago i upgraded to gutsy and it seems to have re-implemented uuid (despite having broken fstab with it when i upgraded to edgy)
[20:46] <Condoulo> So Ubuntu is getting a Visual refresh in 8.04, right?
[20:46] <unique> Brownster: i just want that 3d stuff that i have seen...
[20:46] <Brownster> unique, its a choice not  compromise :)
[20:46] <spyder>  /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/trip_points: Permission denied...can someone tell me what im doing wrong?
[20:46] <Brownster> unique, lol, it looks good :)
[20:46] <sinthetek> not sure if the fstab specifically is related, but now it seems gutsy cannot mount/fsck my /home for some reason
[20:46] <cleaton> Condoulo, yes
[20:47] <sethk> spyder, try using sudo.  Also, that's really bad practice, you should be using sysctl
[20:47] <Brownster> unique, what r u using at the moment?
[20:47] <n-iCe> Hi how do I install gmake
[20:47] <Condoulo> cleaton- any ideas onto what those would be yet? Or is that still in the planning
[20:47] <unique> xp
[20:47] <wols> spyder: you tried to asccess it with a user that didn't have sufficient priviledges for that file
[20:47] <spyder> sethk: what is sysctl?
[20:47] <sinthetek> for some reason it says /home is already mounted eventhough it doesn't appear in /proc/mounts and such
[20:47] <Brownster> unique, never used linux before?
[20:47] <spyder> wols: im the only user?
[20:47] <sethk> spyder, a program for setting, displaying, and modifying kernel configuration
[20:47] <unique> Brownster: i have..
[20:47] <cleaton> Condoulo, still planing, if you are interested in joining the discussion go to #ubuntu-art
[20:47] <n-iCe> How is the package name?
[20:47] <wi1> hi! how do i find out if my current sata drive is sata I oder II?
[20:47] <Condoulo> cleaton- Ok. :)
[20:47] <eTranquility> Can anyone help me with installing fonts in gnome? I've tried to copy them into fonts:///, but it tells me the files already exist in the folder and asks whether I want to replace, skip, etc. I know they don't already exist, I've just downloaded them. Did I miss something?
[20:47] <wols> spyder: you never are on a unix system
[20:48] <cleaton> Condoulo, sorry #ubuntu-artwork
[20:48] <wols> heck not even on a windows system
[20:48] <Brownster> eTranquility, are they true type?
[20:48] <spyder> sethk: how do i get that and would it help me turn acpi off its malfunctioning
[20:48] <eTranquility> Brownster: yes.
[20:48] <wols> wi1: sataII does not exist. it's only marketing speak
[20:48] <rico_> hey guys. how do I go about placing my /home into a new partition?
[20:48] <sinthetek> i tried changing the uuids back to the regular device names in fstab and rebooted by that didn't help
[20:48] <fabr_> Hello, anyone with some knowledge in C that can help me out? Thanks.
[20:49] <sethk> spyder, it's already there (it's a command line utility).  Using it protects you from changes, such as the fact that the information you are talking about is system wide and is being migrated from /proc to /sys.
[20:49] <spyder> wols: ok im new to linux/unix im use to windows where if theres one user its the admin
[20:49] <Jack_Sparrow> rico_: I have a link for that.. one sec
[20:49] <unique> Brownster: can ubuntu be installed from a floppy tho?
[20:49] <wols> fabr_: ##C
[20:49] <Brownster> eTranquility, im on a diff box (slackware at the mo) look in the path /usr/share/fonts/truetype or similar, just put them there
[20:49] <sethk> spyder, I can't say, though, weather it will fix your problem, you'll have to try it.
[20:49] <casdio> I have an Asus and Ubuntu 7.10. But i don't have sound... =/ Can you help me please?
[20:49] <wols> spyder: there are a lot more users in windows too. never just the admin
[20:49] <Brownster> eTranquility, did this and gimp / openoffice found them fine
[20:49] <wi1> wols: ok how do i find out if it is 150 oder 300?
[20:49] <rico_> Jack_Sparrow, I found a guide @ ubuntu-unleashed.blogspot.com, if that's also the ilnk you're referring to, hehe
[20:50] <robdig> brylie: i found a link that may have info that will help, but i'm not familiar with either package https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/edubuntu-devel/2006-June/001490.html
[20:50] <Brownster> unique, no
[20:50] <eTranquility> Brownster: I'm not sure how to do this since I'm not root.
[20:50] <Jack_Sparrow> rico_: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome
[20:50] <wols> wi1:  read the manuals for your controller and your harddisk. no matter that no harddisk on the market right now reaches even 100MB(s
[20:50] <rico_> sweet. thank you. :)
[20:50] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[20:50] <spyder> sethk: could you walk me through cause I just got lost...lol
[20:50] <wols> wi1: so it doing 150 is just as pointless as it doing 300
[20:51] <rico_> Jack_Sparrow, wouldn't modifying my partition table mess up my GRUB menu?
[20:51] <brylie> Isn't Sabayon a Gentoo based GNU/Linux distro?
[20:51] <Brownster> eTranquility, verify the path i just gave you then use, are the fonts zipped or archived, can u see the .ttf file extension?
[20:51] <eTranquility> Brownster: And if it helps, I'm trying to install fonts for Inkscape. It's fine if Inkscape is the only application that sees them but I don't know how to do that either.
[20:51] <RoDoX> tacone: it doesnt work. awkward
[20:51] <wi1> wols:  there are no manuals, i gotta find out from the device manager or something
[20:51] <rico_> I mean, if my GRUB refers to an OS /dev/sdb5 (for example), that number can change if I repartition
[20:51] <eTranquility> Brownster: I've unzipped them.
[20:51] <wols> wi1: there always are maunals, even when there only exist on the inerweb
[20:51] <Jack_Sparrow> rico_: YEs, if you do not already have an extra partition.  it WILL mess up all uuids
[20:51] <NET||abuse> hmm, my drive door won't open, i've tried right click and eject
[20:52] <NET||abuse> and just clicking the hardware eject button,, what's blocking it/
[20:52] <Brownster> eTranquility, then use command 'sudo cp filename.ttf /path/to/truetypefonts/
[20:52] <wols> NET||abuse: something's using that drive still
[20:52] <Jack_Sparrow> rico_: That is one of the reasons I try to always reconmmend people add a spare partition when they setup their systems
[20:52] <wi1> wols: ok nevermind
[20:52] <ogre> what do i type in terminal to update sources after editing sources.list?
[20:52] <brylie> OK, I'll check those packages, thanks robdig!
[20:52] <brobostigo1> ogre: sudo apt-get update
[20:52] <eTranquility> Brownster: Thanks, can I do this for a whole folder? ie, if I have a folder of fonts to copy over?
[20:53] <RoDoX> tacone: you know what? im gonna try out the new version and see if the problem continues..
[20:53] <rico_> Jack_Sparrow, oh those too. shouldn't the part where I modify fstab to use the new UUIDs be in the guide? :b
[20:53] <johnsky> NET||Abuse, tap on the door when it's trying to open, sometimes the motor gets stuck
[20:53] <robdig> brylie: no prob, interesting question/application
[20:53] <Jack_Sparrow> rico_: I think that guide might predate the use of uuid's
[20:53] <dn4> the new adobe flash 9 sucks
[20:53] <Brownster> eTranquility, yes but u need to get the command right
[20:54] <dn4> they messed up flash
[20:54] <Sihing> This is going to be hard to explain... but every now and then my ubuntu OS makes this "bum dah bum" sounds like something opened... it's very soft, and it raises in pitch, then other times it does the reverse, as if something had closed
[20:54] <Sihing> any idea what that is?
[20:54] <Brownster> eTranquility, r u familiar with the idea of absolute and relative paths?
[20:54] <eromero> hi fellows, is there a way to disable ipv6 in a fesh install of Ubuntu Server 7.10
[20:54] <NET||abuse> johnsky: nope, not doing the trick
[20:54] <brylie> Yes, I have pretty much the same circumstance as the poster sf that thread. I wish for a unified login and HD/Time quotas and for the users to be able to access their files remotely.
[20:54] <Brownster> unique, why do u need floppy cant your bios boot cdrom?

[20:55] <NET||abuse> ok, really having drive open issue here? is there a way to find what might still be using the drive?
[20:56] <Sihing> casdio: you can also try booting with what's called a "super grub" disk
[20:56] <NET||abuse> there's a blank disk in it at the moment.
[20:56] <x-man> i'm going to try and manually partition drives first i suppose

[20:58] <pablin30> how to install xfi driver in ubuntu 64 7.10

[20:58] <Sihing> casdio: it's like a bootable media that allows you to use grub to boot
[20:58] <unravel> eTranquility: use the -R flag with cp, will copy recursively.., including directories
[20:58] <eTranquility> Brownster: Thanks, knew that, just didn't know what it was called...
[20:58] <x-man> hmm... when in fdisk.. i can't create a primary disk size over 4500mb?

[21:00] <Brownster> eTranquility, like this: 'sudo cp /path to fonts/folder/* /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ ' will copy all the files in the folder to the truetype folder but will not recurse into lower dirs, use the -r option for this
[21:00] <lwizardl> besides devede whats another application to convert xvid to dvd?
[21:00] <Jaszbo> Hold on I have to see which screen saver

[21:04] <TTilus> looks like i have this http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-581541.html clean gutsy + nvidia-glx and nautilus dies and i can not login
[21:04] <achandrashekar> wols: sure...lemme get on pastebin and do that.. one sec
[21:04] <wols> x-man: gparted
[21:04] <TTilus> any ideas
[21:04] <pablin30> what this slab or slub
[21:04] <pablin30> newbie in ubuntu
[21:05] <H4v1s> anyone have ideas if Gutsy works with Radeon X1650... cause if I use fglrx driver it just freezes
[21:05] <casdio> wols:  Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller
[21:05] <wols> H4v1s: it's vesa or fglrx
[21:05]  * lukewarm looks into the distance
[21:05] <wols> casdio: snd-hda-intel it is
[21:05] <x-man> gtg bbl
[21:05] <wols> casdio: not realtek at all
[21:05] <H4v1s> wols: now I'm running vesa...
[21:05] <achandrashekar> wols: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48484/
[21:06] <achandrashekar> wols: thanks in advance
[21:06] <hhbcdxh> I run gutsy on 1650
[21:06] <ChromeTiger_> in ubunut 7.10 how do i turn on multiverse and universe repositories,  or how to i know if i have them already turned on ?
[21:06] <H4v1s> wols: y
[21:06] <casdio> noob
[21:06] <casdio> :S
[21:06] <wols> achandrashekar: you haven't kernel headers installed
[21:06] <hhbcdxh> works fine
[21:06] <H4v1s> hhbcdxh, y
[21:06] <Jack_Sparrow> ChromeTiger_: easiest is synaptic
[21:06] <casdio> wols:  i have no sound here, can you heklp me?
[21:06] <H4v1s> hhbcdxh: not rly;)  I use vesa driver
[21:06] <jgoo> how do I revert back to the 'default' detected and set driver settings for my card? after installing it must have been using this 'default' driver for my 9200, and since I just want to see if it will support TV out, I want to try that (The nvidia is much louder!!)
[21:06] <Jack_Sparrow> ChromeTiger_: or manually edit your sources.list
[21:06] <wols> !sound
[21:06] <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
[21:06] <steelxenon> omg spam
[21:06] <hhbcdxh> with default ago restricted driver
[21:07] <casdio> wols:  thanks
[21:07] <hhbcdxh> ati
[21:07] <H4v1s> so witch driver should I use with x1650?
[21:07] <jgoo> hhbcdxh: TV out?
[21:07] <achandrashekar> wols: past the typical apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` is there anything else further??
[21:07] <ChromeTiger_> jack_sparrow: in synaptic it just asks for   apt location there is no  check box like in earlier versions
[21:07] <robert___> is there anything similair to emerald that will work on an intel card?
[21:07] <achandrashekar> wols: because I performed that step already.
[21:07] <wols> achandrashekar: custom kernel or ubuntu kernel?
[21:08] <eromero> any ideas why a box can ping the outside world but not do apt-get install lynx ? nor ssh to any other box? ping seems to work fine it's a ubuntu server 7.10
[21:08] <achandrashekar> wols: 2.6.22-14-generic
[21:08] <shawn34> I'm unable to install firefox extensions with firefox <IP_ADDRESS> and ubuntu gusty, the signer window comes up, countdown ends and I click install. it disappears and nothing ever gets installed. any ideas?
[21:08] <achandrashekar> wols: ubuntu
[21:08] <Jack_Sparrow> ChromeTiger_: you can just select everything in synaptic  ... remember to update.. the package lists
[21:08] <wols> achandrashekar: then I wouldn't knoe. you can check the configure.log and the other configure* files
[21:08] <wols> achandrashekar: but then you need to need to know some C
[21:09] <wols> ChromeTiger_: are you a LS scene refugee?
[21:09] <cyphase> Does anyone have any recommendations for a good, Linux-compatible audio device priced at around $100?
[21:09] <achandrashekar> wols: I see...yeah..its a vmare to madwifi issue that doesnt work..the forums suggest a compile...so I tried it...lemme hunt arond a bit...thanks for the help.
[21:09] <wols> cyphase: SBLive 5.1. costs 10-20$
[21:09] <erisco> my logout/quit button is broken in gnome
[21:09] <erisco> it locks up the system
[21:10] <rpedro> hello
[21:10] <wols> achandrashekar: how does vmware play into this?
[21:10] <robert___> is there anything similair to emerald that will work on an intel card?
[21:10] <ChromeTiger_> wols:  LS
[21:10] <erisco> the only way I can shutdown is by doing sudo halt... and I can only logout by restarting gdm
[21:10] <erisco> help :s
[21:10] <wols> ChromeTiger_: deserter :P
[21:10] <cyphase> wols: sorry, i wasn't clear
[21:10] <MrObvious> Hello.
[21:10] <ChromeTiger_> lol  i still use LS on Vista
[21:10] <cyphase> wols: i meant an MP3 player type device :)
[21:11] <Pelo> erisco, check in menu > system > admin > users make sure your user has permission to logout
[21:11] <rpedro> I'm having trouble with 2d display speed on gutsy, with a nvidia card. Anyone know anything about this? it's only like this since I dist-upgraded from feisty.
[21:11] <wols> cyphase: #hardware. anything that will show up as a mass storage device is fine
[21:11] <MrObvious> Can someone tell me what I need to do to make a bunch of files I have a bootable CD?
[21:11] <Pelo> rpedro, try reinstalling the driver
[21:11] <wols> rpedro: maybe disable compiz
[21:11] <robert___> is there anything similair to emerald that will work on an intel card?
[21:11] <cyphase> wols: i know
[21:11] <Pelo> MrObvious,  did you try to make one already ?
[21:12] <cleaton> erisco, hm i had the same thing! :O but now it works again, i don't know what was wrong with it...
[21:12] <Pelo> robert___, metacity
[21:12] <erisco> cleaton, it occasionally decides to work for me
[21:12] <steelxenon> 1265 users, holy
[21:12] <Donka> can someone plz tell me how to turn DMA off on my dvd burner in linux
[21:12] <DShepherd> how do i use mencoder to convert a quicktime file to avi?
[21:12] <Firehazrd> can someone please direct me on how to enable mod_rewrite for apache2?
[21:12] <erisco> Pelo, there is no particular option for logging out... I cannot shut down through gnome either
[21:12] <Pelo> steelxenon, far from holy, more lke hellish
[21:12] <stroyan> robert__:  I am using emerald on intel 945GM graphics.
[21:12] <wols> Donka: with hdparm
[21:12] <steelxenon> lol
[21:12] <erisco> Pelo, it occasionally works though
[21:12] <steelxenon> question after question
[21:13] <cleaton> erisco, it always worked for me, just that it took like a minute or two to load sometimes.... and the stystem was locked during that time
[21:13] <Donka> ok
[21:13] <erisco> cleaton, really now
[21:13] <steelxenon> you guys better simmer maybe you'll get an answer
[21:13] <lukewarm> steelxenon 1266 now
[21:13] <omar> ikkdftky
[21:13] <rpedro> Pelo: I have tried both nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-new, and I checked a diff with a backup of xorg.conf I made before the dist-upgrade, and the file is exactly the same. I don't use compiz usually, but I ran it before and it worked fine.
[21:13] <cleaton> erisco, now it works instant, i don't know what i did to fix it
[21:13] <Pelo> erisco, I sometimes get a delay shuting down if I have some process still in the process of starting , like when I reboot rright after rebooting, if you get me
[21:13] <steelxenon> biggest irc room I ever saw
[21:13] <ChromeTiger_> can someone point me to a good tutorial for fully turning on   all repositories in Synaptic ?
[21:13] <robert___> stroyan: can you geive me a quick guide on how to get it?
[21:13] <omar> pussy
[21:14] <Donka> Wols: I have 2 cdroms Im not sure what to type in for the label
[21:14] <Pelo> rpedro, I can only suggest you attemps the binarie driver from the nvidia website
[21:14] <wols> Donka: not label. device names
[21:14] <steelxenon> hey omg
[21:14] <wols> Donka: /dev/hdc or such
[21:14] <steelxenon> When I start ubuntu I hear drums, what do I do?
[21:14] <Jaszbo> Jack, you in here still?
[21:14] <noobie1000> Hi! I'm new to Linux in general; please Windows is good but why Linux?
[21:14] <cleaton> erisco, ok well instant wasn't the case ... but it's faster then before atleast. but i think it's still faster to open a terminal and do sudo poweroff
[21:14] <Pelo> steelxenon,  get your ears checked
[21:14] <steelxenon> xD
[21:14] <Jack_Sparrow> yes but busy..
[21:14] <Pelo> steelxenon,  seriously ,  menu > system > prefs > sounds
[21:14] <MrObvious> Pelo: Yes. I had a UIF which I'm trying to wine MagicISO to make an ISO but it's a pain.
[21:14] <noobie1000> Hi!
[21:15] <Jaszbo> Oh ok.
[21:15] <wraund> !language | omar
[21:15] <ubotu> omar: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[21:15] <lukewarm> ChromeTiger_ : simply man sources.list will give you a good guide and the repos you need
[21:15] <steelxenon> im just acting like a noob
[21:15] <Donka> wols: hrmm how do i figure out the device name for it?
[21:15] <NET||abuse> hmm, what /dev/ file should my laptop drive be under?
[21:15] <stroyan> robert_:  Install gutsy.  Use the System -> Preferences -> visual appearance menu to set "Visual effects".
[21:15] <Jaszbo> Linux is free and just as powerful or more powerful than windows.
[21:15] <wraund> NET||abuse: depends on the HDD to motherboard connection type
[21:15] <wols> Donka: dmesg, the bootup messages for example
[21:15] <steelxenon> I love linux and gnome
[21:15] <noobie1000> Jaszbo: Wow
[21:15] <ericl80427> My ubuntu for some reason won't boot, or is having problems.
[21:15] <NET||abuse> wraund, just realised i could see the link to it with ls -l on /media/
[21:15] <wols> noobie1000: sdX or hdX, some of those
[21:16] <ompaul> ericl80427, have you installed it?
[21:16] <Pelo> MrObvious,  did you try making one with gnomebaker,  it should only be a matter of getting the right kind of files on he cd,  with dos you needed a sys.com file or something like that to make it bootable
[21:16] <wraund> NET||abuse: lol
[21:16] <lifeforms> @responders: I 'solved' the LTS-in-VMware hangage by going into the busybox shell and killing the parent process of the [aptitude] zombie... then re-did the "software installation" step.. then it continued without problem
[21:16] <Jaszbo> Truly. I use both windows and Linux, N00b, and Linux is by far more fun.
[21:16] <stroyan> robert___: your nick is awfully close to robert_  ;-)
[21:16] <ericl80427> yes,
[21:16] <cleaton> noobie1000, it can also be a question of values
[21:16] <ompaul> ericl80427, did it every boot since it was installed?
[21:16] <MrObvious> Pelo: I'll try it. I extracted the files already but it's a pain. *sigh* I'll try gnomebaker and report back. I'll just make the ISO boot using qEMU to test to save making coasters.
[21:16] <robert_> stroyan, you JUST NOW noticed? :P
[21:16] <docgnome> noobie1000: It's free as in beer and, probably, more importantly, free as in freedom
[21:16] <ericl80427> i went to turn on my graphics card so i can use Desktop Effects and when i restarted its not booting
[21:16] <Jaszbo> Yes...Linux is a much more powerful operating system because of the freedom involved.
[21:17] <ericl80427> yes it has
[21:17] <erisco> cleaton, Pelo, ah ha... after I waited long enough the menu finally came up
[21:17] <ericl80427> It's just a black screen
[21:17] <erisco> cleaton, Pelo, it is a ridiculous amount of time though
[21:17] <Pelo> erisco, just do a little check of the apps you have running , you might just need to get rid of one
[21:17] <ompaul> ericl80427,  start a live CD - copy from it its /etc/X11/xorg.conf to the hard drive - do you know how to do this?
[21:17] <robert___> stroyan: i still dont have much in the wa of emerald
[21:18] <NET||abuse> ok, i cannot get my drive door open, does anyone know how to use an open command on the console?
[21:18] <Math^> anyone know how to fix gutsy's bug with vga=791 ?
[21:18]  * Pelo is hating java again atm
[21:18] <Math^> I get a black screen
[21:18] <ericl80427> well i have a live cd thats how i installed should i boot from that?
[21:18] <Jaszbo> I know this might be a little cliche, but I believe Jesus would use linux because of the principle behind it. That's it for my soap box.
[21:18] <ompaul> !bootoptions | Math^
[21:18] <ubotu> Math^: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
[21:18] <Math^> ompaul
[21:18] <ompaul> ericl80427, it would be useful then come back here
[21:18] <Flare183> Jaszbox:> i agree
[21:18] <Math^> its not working, becouse of some bug
[21:19] <Jaszbo> Oh thank you flarebox
[21:19] <ericl80427> ok, this is a different computer i can just have them both running
[21:19] <Donka> k got it , thx wols
[21:19] <NET||abuse> Flare183, i disagree,, he would probably use openBSD
[21:19] <Jaszbo> Flare
[21:19] <NET||abuse> freebsd,, or whatever it's called
[21:19] <ompaul> Math^, and will suggest you look at that page and implement the options as it suggests there
[21:19] <Jaszbo> Oh well, I mean something offered for free, niot necessarily Linux.
[21:19] <Math^> ompaul: ok
[21:19] <x-man> and i'm back.. got off because i was afraid the processor was going to overheat... wol: i used gparted to partition the hardrive.. clicked "install". got to the 'prepare partitions' part and it still does nothing...
[21:19]  * Flare183 looks away in disgust
[21:19] <NET||abuse> anyway,, i can't open my drive, i've a blank dvd stuck in there..
[21:19] <Jaszbo> I think Linux or OpenBSD stand for something windows does not.
[21:19] <NET||abuse> can some one helpe me ? :)
[21:20] <x-man> wols: i find this odd because i've never had problems installing on this machine before
[21:20] <stroyan> robert___: If you have the compizconfig-settings-manager package installed you can run ccsm to set many appearance options.
[21:20] <NET||abuse> Jaszbo, well there's no argument that they both stand for some things that ms does not, though not neccessarily the same things
[21:20] <Pelo> NET||abuse,  unfold a paperclip, look for a little hole jsut below the cd tray,  push the paperclip in very straight
[21:20] <x-man> maybe suse has something which prevents ubuntu from overwriting it ;)
[21:20] <NET||abuse> Pelo, nads.
[21:20]  * Flare183 wishes that someone who create a compiz config manager for kde
[21:20] <Pelo> nads ?
[21:21] <x-man> Pelo: gonads probably
[21:21] <Pelo> Flare183, you can run the compiz manager on kde , you'll just need a few extra libs
[21:21] <lockd> x-man: i saw that before, but I think it was fedora having something that a later fedora wouldn't touch
[21:21] <jgoo> GAH! I just got back to ATI driver, and my LCD looks burned... like the image is half onto the left... the resolution is back though
[21:21] <gogzme1> Can someone tell me how to figure out what speed my network card is running at?
[21:21] <lockd> x-man: so I doubt it's Ubuntu specific
[21:21] <Pelo> x-man,  it still sounds suspicious
[21:21] <jgoo> how do I get X configured, or re-auto-detected as it were?
[21:21] <jgoo> I see a shadow on the left, and the top of the screen is brighter....
[21:21] <Flare183> Pelo:> i know but my ccsm is buggy the icons for the buttons are missing
[21:22] <jgoo> is this dangerous for the LCD?
[21:22] <Pelo> gogzme1,  do you know the model ? look it up on line,  they are usualy 100 mbps these days
[21:22] <jgoo> L192WS
[21:22] <sethk> x-man, I think you can have confidence that suse isn't responsible.
[21:22] <x-man> sethk: think you're right
[21:22] <robert___> stroyan how do i get it its not showing up in synaptec and im sudo ap-getting it and its nto working
[21:22] <jgoo> is there a way to 'auto re-run' x.conf setu?
[21:22] <x-man> going to restart since i've already wrote the filesystem..
[21:22] <jgoo> *setup
[21:22] <sethk> x-man, not very helpful to say what it _isn't_, I know, if you can't say what it is
[21:23] <x-man> don't know if that will help
[21:23] <x-man> brb
[21:23] <sethk> x-man, k
[21:23] <Pelo> jgoo, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[21:23] <jgoo> thanks Pelo
[21:23] <backslash> hello
[21:23] <ZeeO> hey guys has some one got adobe CS3 apps to work under ubuntu
[21:23] <lukewarm> hello \
[21:23] <ZeeO> wine only can do cs2 from what i have seen
[21:23] <backslash> lol nice
[21:23] <backslash> ;)
[21:23] <backslash> how can i let a program start at a specific time ? e.g.  as alarm clock in the morning
[21:24] <jgoo> I have an ATI 9200 - should I select 'at1' from this list?
[21:24] <Pelo> ZeeO, ask in #winehq
[21:24] <gogzme1> Pelo: Right, and I know it is a 100/10 card, and I get nearly 80mbps file transfer speeds between my file server and the same box when loaded into windows, but I am getting far less (and it takes a ton longer to move files) when I am in Gutsy
[21:24] <soldats> backslash, cronjobs
[21:24] <jgoo> Pelo: ? it gives me a longish list of drivers to choose from, for ATI there seems to be 'at1'
[21:24] <backslash> okay?..
[21:24] <Pelo> jgoo, try it , if it doesn't work , do it again and use the vesa driver
[21:24] <stroyan> robert___: it is in the universe repository.  Look at the "Settings"->"repositories" menu item.
[21:24] <Math^> ompaul: Ive looked on that page, but I already did it that way with vga=xxx, but it still gives me a black screen
[21:24] <davro> man crontab
[21:24] <backslash> soldats, where is the cron file ?
[21:24] <backslash> okay ^^
[21:24] <backslash> crontab
[21:24] <Math^> ompaul: and I know this is a bug, becouse it was no prob with feisty
[21:25] <ikonia> Math^: that doesn't mean it is a bug
[21:25] <Math^> ompaul: so, I only need to know how to fix
[21:25] <Math^> launchpad says its a bug :/
[21:25] <ikonia> Math^: ok, so what does launpad say to fix it
[21:25] <ompaul> Math^, and does it offer a solution?
[21:25] <ompaul> Math^, show me the bug please
[21:25] <Math^> something i already tried, but doesnt work
[21:25] <ikonia> Math^: so if the official developer assigned to it has not got a fix working, how do you expect us
[21:25] <Math^> ok hold on
[21:26] <backslash> # m h  dom mon dow | what does this all mean ?
[21:26] <backslash> dom mon dow
[21:26] <Math^> ikonia: im just asking, maybe there are more solutions
[21:26] <Jaszbo> anyway, I turn off my screensaver, and It is a conflict between compiz-fusion and the screen saver. How do I tweak my screen saver so it won't freeze up my machine.
[21:26] <backslash> and so i have to write the # (comment?)
[21:26] <Pelo> backslash,  minutes , hours ....
[21:26] <gogzme1> What is roaming mode in the network settings?
[21:26] <backslash> dom mon dow
[21:26] <backslash> and # ?
[21:26] <Pelo> backslash, you don't put a # in the lines you write yourself
[21:26] <ikonia> Math^: not if it's not in the bug
[21:26] <backslash> okay
[21:27] <backslash> its just comment right ?
[21:27] <jgoo> bloody hell it asks about keyboard layouts and other things... hrm
[21:27] <Pelo> backslash, # is to comment out the line, in this case it is uses to give you the basic structures
[21:27] <ericl80427> It doesnt boot with the cd.
[21:27] <backslash> ok :P wasnt thinking damn
[21:27] <backslash> and what about dom mon dow ?
[21:27] <Pelo> jgoo, leave those as is
[21:28] <Pelo> jgoo, when you don'T know the answer for sure , just leave the default answer or ignore
[21:28] <jgoo> OK. what the heck
[21:28] <jgoo> I just went into terminal on F1... came back, and the display is fine.
[21:28] <Pelo> backslash, days of mont and mon, day of week
[21:28] <rico_> anyone know compiz's syntax for window matching? :)
[21:28] <Pelo> jgoo, restarting x is usualy the right way to do it ,  crtl _ alt _ backspace
[21:28] <backslash> day of week ?
[21:28] <jgoo> Pelo: hrm - what does that sound like? I ctrl-alt-f1, and back, and screen is ok.... \o/ and all, but I am still scared....

[21:29] <ArthurArchnix> hi, I've got an .avi file that I want to burn to a dvd so that it's playable in dvd players. I basically want to create a dvd from video files. Just popped in to get some personal recommendations, software you've used or heard was good for this sort of thing. Or really bad.
[21:29] <backslash> Pelo, what about DOW ? can u give a example... wanna just let it do once
[21:29] <brophat> gentlemen, I want to install ubuntu on two hd disks but on live cd it gives me the option to install it on the entire disk of either one, but not both
[21:29] <DShepherd> how do i use mencoder to convert a quicktime file to avi?
[21:29] <Nvrnight> Can anyone give me some instructions on how to get on the internet through a wired connection on a linksys router?

[21:30] <ikonia> ArthurArchnix: mencoder is fine for re-encoding
[21:30] <Byr0n> hey
[21:30] <Krumar> brophat, did you do the manual partitioning?
[21:30] <brophat> Krumar no
[21:30] <Pelo> white_eagle,  try removing your ~/.xchat folder and unintalling all xchat packages,  ( use synaptic,  completely uninstall) ,  then restart and sintall again
[21:30] <brophat> Krumar in manual partitioning is that where I can run cfdisk?
[21:30] <ArthurArchnix> ikonia: so mencoder then something just like baker to put the vob files on the disc then is how'd you do it?
[21:30] <Pelo> backslash,  day of week ,   1= sunday , 2 = monday , etc
[21:31] <Krumar> brophat, if you select the manual partition you get the option to use the disks how ever you like, i have mine set up to run root off my raptor and home on my large drive
[21:31] <backslash> Pelo, 1 is sunday ?
[21:31] <white_eagle> Pelo: my system starts slowly, can I instead log off and then log in again without restarting?
[21:31] <backslash> Pelo, so 7 is saturday ?
[21:31] <ikonia> ArthurArchnix: not quite, you may want to look at acidrip as a front end
[21:31] <Pelo> backslash, man cron , or man contab to be sure
[21:31] <timandjulz> I am trying to get my desktop configured.  I have a laptop with 1024x768 LCD and an external 1680x1050.  I am trying to have each monitor use its full resolution.
[21:31] <timandjulz> Whenever I get the monitors working, it tries to run both monitors at the same resolution.  Is there a way to get the desktop to support different resolution monitors?
[21:31] <brophat> Krumar ok seem like manual is what I want thanks. Hey can I run cfdisk from there?
[21:31] <tony_math> Jummy: If you are sure you have the right .deb file and want to install it, use the command "dpkg --install <debfile>.deb"
[21:32] <Pelo> white_eagle, I was suggesting a restart to make sure there are no related processes still running but it is not abslutely neccessary
[21:32] <brophat> Krumar I guess what I am asking is will it format my hd from manual?
[21:32]  * DzDK hils
[21:32] <white_eagle> backslash: if you didn't knew the 7th day of the week is saturday and the first is sunday, NOT monday
[21:32] <Krumar> brophat, yes
[21:32] <ArthurArchnix> ikonia: Yeah... just came across it after searching repos for mencoder.

[21:34] <sethk> amitprakash, I'm looking for something complicated, but as brownster pointed out, /dev/sda5 is (hd0,4), not (hd0,5)

[21:35] <timandjulz> Is xwindows capable of having two monitors running in different resolutions?
[21:35] <tacone> backslash: armarok let you do that by options :-)
[21:35] <sethk> amitprakash, you mean it was already (hd0,4) when it failed?
[21:35] <marnanel> Mba7eth: certificate?
[21:35] <amitprakash> sethk, Brownster: as i said theres a problem with kernel accessing some driver using the DISK by UUID method
[21:35] <amitprakash> sethk, yes
[21:35] <SpookyET> How's my setup: http://aycu31.webshots.com/image/36830/2000072377155680415_rs.jpg

[21:36] <Mba7eth> marnanel: YES exams .... like ccna, msce
[21:36] <backslash> just once
[21:36] <amitprakash> sethk, ubuntu after a long wait kicks me a weird kind of console
[21:36] <Tyczek|PC> i installed ATi binary from repo... then in terminal sudo ati-config -f -initial and now i have black screen

[21:36] <tacone> backslash: open it and set it
[21:36] <gucci> hi experts
[21:36] <mluser-home> is there a gentoo /etc/portage/package.mask equivalent in ubuntu?
[21:36] <sethk> amitprakash, ok, I'm puzzled, though, because on Friday I did exactly that, removed the label and used "root=/dev/sda5", and had no problems.
[21:36] <backslash> what ?
[21:36] <eromero> is there a way to rename the network interfaces (i want eth1 to be eth0 and viceversa)
[21:36] <joerlend> does software exist that can show how much power your pc is consuming at a given time?
[21:36] <Brownster> amitprakash, sethk the uuid not too familiar with but wonder whether its changed and /etc/fstab needs modifying?
[21:36] <ArthurArchnix> ikonia: I've started doing ... something. We'll see if it works out. Thanks for the tips.
[21:36] <backslash> Pelo, what ? at ? i read its man...

[21:37] <marnanel> timandjulz: yes, it is
[21:37] <Jack_Sparrow> amitprakash: changing any partition will change all uuid's on that drive
[21:37] <sethk> Brownster, I think this is earlier in the process and /etc/fstab hasn't yet been consulted
[21:37] <bliss_> which of these is the easy to use  irssi, epic4, scrollz, sirc, ircii
[21:37] <marnanel> timandjulz: (xinerama)
[21:37] <Krumar> gucci, what's your problem
[21:37] <ikonia> ArthurArchnix: weclome
[21:37] <sethk> Brownster, however, you may be correct, and it's easy to fix, so ...

[21:37] <Krumar> crinkelite, just go ahead and ask your question
[21:37] <backslash> okay. ;)
[21:37] <sethk> crinkelite, yes, but we have a rule, you only get one question   :)
[21:37] <amitprakash> sethk, i dunno
[21:38] <ericl80427> Pelo
[21:38] <Krumar> gucci, what about the grub loader
[21:38] <amitprakash> sethk, i will reboot and check
[21:38] <kal228> i need some help with imwheel, xorg.cong, and my intellimouse explorer 3.0

[21:38] <Pelo> backslash, 0 min, 7 th hour, 16 th day, of the 12 th mont
[21:38] <Pelo> ericl80427,  what ?
[21:38] <Jack_Sparrow> amitprakash: edit your fstab to reflect the correct uid's
[21:38] <sethk> amitprakash, check it.  You should be able to get at it even from a console.
[21:38] <wols> cdeszaq: it connects to the nearest AP it finds
[21:38] <gucci> i installed lilo but i need some changes in lilo conf
[21:38] <amitprakash> Jack_Sparrow: how do i find the uuid
[21:38] <charlesg3> anyone familiar with setting up wmii? For some reason when I choose it as the session, it still just loads kde
[21:38] <ericl80427> there was a problem booting ubuntu, so i booted using the live cd, now my informaton is all gone.
[21:38] <crinkelite> i wanna know if you can move the couser in the terminal around the page so you can copy stuff out of it
[21:38] <Krumar> gucci, what kind of changes?
[21:38] <sethk> Jack_Sparrow, I always use /dev and take the UIDs out, but that's probably because I'm a dinosaur  :)
[21:38] <backslash> tacone, omg this is great ^^
[21:38] <backslash>     Actually, thanks to the magic of DCOP you can easily do this. Simply set an alarm in your favorite calendar program and tell it to run the following command:
[21:38] <backslash> %`kde-config --prefix`/bin/dcop --user USERNAME amarok player play
[21:38] <marnanel> Mba7eth: there is, apparently. search google for "ubuntu certification".
[21:38] <gucci> grub loader is ok
[21:38] <white_eagle> how to install KDE in ubuntu?
[21:38] <Jack_Sparrow> amitprakash: sudo vol_id -u /dev/sda7
[21:38] <sethk> crinkelite, yes
[21:38] <backslash> tacone, ^^ thanks for the tip
[21:38] <cdeszaq> wols: But what does that mean for eth0?
[21:38] <Brownster> sethk, im with you on that , lol
[21:38] <backslash> Pelo, thanks you too
[21:38] <Krumar> crinkelite, you can highlight and copy from terminal
[21:38] <Pelo> ericl80427,  are you in the live cd now &?
[21:39] <crinkelite> good how
[21:39] <sethk> crinkelite, do you mean a console, or a terminal in gnome?
[21:39] <backslash> gonna test how it works :P
[21:39] <backslash> bye
[21:39] <ericl80427> and everthing i had, i dont want to reinstall everything all over again,and i only have so muh room on my hard drive
[21:39] <crinkelite> yep
[21:39] <amitprakash> Jack_Sparrow, sethk, Brownster: thanks a lot.. will try to fix this :)
[21:39] <ericl80427> no im on a difference computer
[21:39] <Jack_Sparrow> sethk: Same here
[21:39] <gucci> as i read in forums i must make lilo.conf
[21:39] <Pelo> ericl80427, boot the live cd on that comp again
[21:39] <rottie_> crinkelite: what do you mean how? you just move  your mouse
[21:39] <wols> cdeszaq: that is uses dhcp to get a lease whenevre it has none
[21:39] <timandjulz> Tyczek|PC: What I did was install ati drivers from ati's website.  Then used the command line: aticonfig --initial
[21:39] <sethk> gucci, you need grub OR lilo, not both
[21:39] <ericl80427> ok.
[21:39] <timandjulz> But had to install from ati website
[21:39] <crinkelite> sorry, without mouse
[21:39] <ericl80427> then what
[21:39] <Krumar> gucci, do you need to have both grub and lilo?
[21:39]  * marnanel wants to switch to dvorak. I have gone to System > Preferences > Keyboard and selected "U.S. English Dvorak" as the default under the Layout tab, and pressed the Close button. Nothing happened. What should I do now?
[21:39] <gucci> i rebooted but still grub loader starts not lilo
[21:39] <Mba7eth> marnanel: Thanks .... I just wanted to know your opinion ..... is it good or I shall go with red hat certificate !
[21:39] <sethk> gucci, run the lilo utility.  However, why use lilo?
[21:39] <Tyczek|PC> timandjulz, But you did generate package or 1 option?
[21:39] <Pelo> ericl80427,  you won't see your data in the live cd 's /home folder,  your data is in the /home folder of the ubuntu partiton of the hdd,
[21:40] <gucci> i want lilo loader
[21:40] <marnanel> Mba7eth: I have no idea. I am not a manager and will never be.
[21:40] <ericl80427> yeah.
[21:40] <cdeszaq> wols: so that is different than setting the configuration to "Automatic(DHCP)" ?
[21:40] <Pelo> !enter | EVERYONE IN THIS CHANNEL
[21:40] <ubotu> EVERYONE IN THIS CHANNEL: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[21:40] <Krumar> gucci, i believe that is because grub is installed to the master boot record, so the computer starts it first
[21:40] <sethk> gucci, that's a difference between grub and lilo.   with grub you just change the configuration file.  With lilo you have to run the "lilo" program after changing the configuration file
[21:40] <Mba7eth> marnanel: What your not planning to grow up at all ?
[21:40] <gucci> lilo is more googlooking
[21:40] <timandjulz> Tyczek|PC: I followed the instructions on the ati website.  As long as I used the command line app I was able to make it work.  There was no package generation required.
[21:40] <ericl80427> but if i only use the home cd, then how can i get to my partitions home foder?
[21:40] <marnanel> Mba7eth: There is more to maturity than amassing power.
[21:40] <ericl80427> folder*
[21:40] <sethk> gucci, although, to be correct, you have to run "lilo" to install lilo over grub, and you have to run "grubinstall" to install grub over lilo
[21:40] <ericl80427> if i use only home cd to boot..
[21:41] <Tyczek|PC> timandjulz, ok i'll try
[21:41] <Pelo> ericl80427,  your hdd should get mounte to the desktop
[21:41] <sethk> gucci, anyway, if your lilo.conf is in the default location, just run lilo at the command line and it will overwrite the MBR
[21:41] <Tyczek|PC> timandjulz, I was installing it by envy but 3d acceleration was crashing and movies too
[21:41] <timandjulz> marnanel:  Thanks, I will check out xinerama.  :-)
[21:41] <gucci> howto run lilo
[21:41] <gucci> command?
[21:41] <Krumar> gucci, open a terminal and type sudo lilo
[21:41] <Pelo> gucci, install it from the repos
[21:42] <Mba7eth> marnanel: Hey this is a men future ... not just power
[21:42] <sethk> gucci, simple, you type     lilo      (as root, or    sudo lilo    as normal user
[21:42] <gucci> installed bud
[21:42] <timandjulz> Tyczek|PC: I'm not a gamer and not playing movies so can't speak to 3d accel working.  Good luck though.
[21:42] <Jack_Sparrow> gucci: we all use grub... this is not the place to get lilo help..

[21:42] <Tyczek|PC> timandjulz, allright, I'll try, thanks xD
[21:42] <gucci> when sudo lilo it says Fatal: Cannot open: /etc/lilo.conf
[21:42] <Brownster> Sloppyunderfoot, ask away
[21:42] <Sloppyunderfoot> Thanks
[21:43] <lukewarm> Sloppyunderfoot: its hard to know the answer without knowing the question first
[21:43] <Krumar> gucci, is lilo.conf in /etc?
[21:43] <crinkelite> anyone know how to copy and paste output from the terminal without using a mouse?
[21:43] <gucci> jack u sure this is not the place?
[21:43] <learninglinux> hey everybody, does anyone have experience with shorewall and/or iptables/netfilter?  i'm trying to set up shorewall, and need ipt_recent, but when i type "shorewall show capabilities" all of the netfilter modules come up as "not available"
[21:43] <Sloppyunderfoot> Just not sure exactly where to tell suse to install ubunto to.
[21:43] <ader10> are there any "fun" commands besides banner, cowsay, apt-get moo and aptitude moo -v?
[21:43] <Pelo> Sloppyunderfoot, just intall ubuntu with the live cd, grub will see suse during the install and will make a boot menu with both os on it
[21:43] <marnanel> crinkelite: it is possible using screen, if you have a few hours to learn how to use screen
[21:43] <Sloppyunderfoot> I don't want to mess up the bootloader.
[21:44] <marnanel> ader10: sl is awesome :)
[21:44] <Krumar> gucci, i think grub is more popular around here
[21:44] <crinkelite> where do i start?
[21:44] <gaten> is there anyway to permanently disable join/part messages in xchat?
[21:44] <Pelo> Sloppyunderfoot, how many hdd on this comp ? just make an empty partition for ubuntu to isntall on
[21:44] <Pelo> gaten, rigth click the channe tab
[21:44] <Krumar> crinkelite, you could do "man screen" to start
[21:44] <gucci> ok man i will use grub lol wont insist
[21:44] <gaten> Pelo: that only works until you close xchat
[21:45] <OldPink> What's the best way to implement an "Update and Shutdown" option in Ubuntu? (currently using http://www.topicalmatt.com/14-12-2007/howto-update-and-shutdown-in-ubuntu )
[21:45] <Krumar> gucci, why is it you want to use lilo?
[21:45] <Pelo> gaten, ask in #xchat
[21:45] <crinkelite> Kumar: man screen?
[21:45] <Brownster> Sloppyunderfoot, if you want to leave the suse bootloader in tact u can install ubuntu and then grub to the install partition NOT the mbr, then manueally edit the grub.conf of suse to chain load the ubuntu set p
[21:45] <gucci> more knowlege to wait
[21:45] <ader10> marnanel: haha, sl is funny
[21:45] <Jack_Sparrow> gucci: people here know lots of things, but we are a support room for ubuntu which every version has used grub.
[21:45] <ader10> marnanel: any others?
[21:45] <gucci> anyway krumar
[21:45] <Krumar> crinkelite, that will give you the manual page to screen, the man pages are a great place to start learning
[21:45] <Krumar> gucci,  what?
[21:45] <ChromeTiger_> has anyone got call of duty 4 running on ubuntu ?
[21:46] <Brownster> Sloppyunderfoot, has te advantage that both distros can update grub independently without messing up the other
[21:46] <crinkelite> krumar: just google man screen
[21:46] <crinkelite> ?
[21:46] <marnanel> ader10: probably :) search around in aptitude. Can't think of any off the top of my head
[21:46] <gucci> i will use grub i forgotten lilo from now
[21:46] <marnanel> crinkelite: no, type "man screen" at a terminal prompt

[21:48] <gucci> sudo apt-get autoremove lilo..lol
[21:48] <ericl80427> oh, i will try that
[21:48] <lockd> Pelo: and also I'd have to reinstall grub :)
[21:48] <Pelo> lockd,  I wasn'T around wwhen you did
[21:49] <Pelo> lockd, we're done now
[21:49] <jay> hi im trying to setup a dev environment on 7.10 using php5 apache2 mysql5... I need to get mod rewrite working for drupal... I tried enabling the rewrite module but it doesnt work... Does anyone know what i am missing?
[21:49] <lockd> Pelo: no, I switched because of the annoyance, not so with X
[21:49] <ericl80427> pelo, manager or editer..
[21:49] <ericl80427> ?
[21:49] <PriceChild> !doesn't work | jay
[21:49] <ubotu> jay: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.
[21:49] <Pelo> jay, you might get more help in ##linux for this
[21:49] <ericl80427> i have editer..
[21:49] <PriceChild> jay, I assume you just haven't enabled the module properly...
[21:50] <Pelo> ericl80427, editor, I just made a mistake,
[21:50] <PriceChild> jay, could you explain the steps you did to attempt to enable it?
[21:50] <soccer_hawk10> hey all.  i just installed 915resolution in ubuntu 7.10 and i've noticed that it freezes at time.  i'm running compiz-fusion.  any ideas?
[21:50] <cyphase> Does anyone have any recommendations for a good, Linux-compatible audio player priced at around $100-$150?
[21:50] <jay> PriceChild, I checked apache2ctl -M ti see if it works
[21:50] <Pelo> ericl80427, that will detect your hdds, you can see if they are still usable and ifyou stil have partitions on them, if they are not mounted those partiton should get mounted to the desktop
[21:50] <ericl80427> ok im in that now what exactly do i do
[21:50] <PriceChild> jay, pardon?
[21:50] <ericl80427> ok
[21:51] <Felin> Ah, if anyone has time, I'm having a bit of trouble getting my Linksys USB Wireless adapter to work, as a warning I'm still completely new at this sort of thing.
[21:51] <Sloppyunderfoot> Awesome, thanks much.  I thought it might but wanted to check "live".
[21:51] <Pelo> ericl80427,  if they don'T get mounted automaticaly you now have the /dev/... info to mount them manualy
[21:51] <KinPumpkinKing> cyphase, how come xmms isn't good for you? :p
[21:51] <PriceChild> Pelo, btw most will usually say come back here as apache is customised in packaging heavily
[21:51] <ompaul> KinPumpkinKing, no longer developed
[21:51] <Stargazers> Anyone? Any ideas?
[21:51] <Pelo> PriceChild, noted
[21:51] <KinPumpkinKing> ometra, what would you recommend? I only use xmms...
[21:51] <soccer_hawk10> hey.  does 915resolution not play nicely with compiz-fusion? can 915resolution be used with the intel drivers
[21:51] <KinPumpkinKing> ometra,  sorry
[21:51] <cyphase> KinPumpkinKing: because xmms isn't portable
[21:52] <Brownster> Felin, how far have you got
[21:52] <Creed> hijay, I was wondering what the best or most widely used FTP server for *nix is?
[21:52] <cyphase> ompaul: actually, a new version was just released a while ago
[21:52] <KinPumpkinKing> ompaul, what would you recommend, I only use xmms?...
[21:52] <Creed> err sorry hijay, stupid autocomplete
[21:52] <ericl80427> they are usable i would imagine, there is things on them..
[21:52] <jay> PriceChild, To enable it I went into webmin > apche > global config > modules -- and then enabled the rewrite module
[21:52] <Creed> Hi I was wondering what the best or most widely used FTP server for *nix is?
[21:52] <lockd> cyphase: xmms is portable in one sense
[21:52] <Felin> xD Nowhere, to be honest. I'm ashamed, but I couldn't get online, so I jumped bacl over to XP. I just finished setting up a dual-boot.
[21:52] <PriceChild> Creed, use sftp
[21:52] <learninglinux> does anyone have experience with iptables/netfilter modules, esp with shorewall?  i'm having a difficult time getting shorewall to recognize my netfilter modules
[21:52] <soccer_hawk10> hey. does 915resolution not play nicely with compiz-fusion? can 915resolution be used with the intel drivers
[21:52] <cyphase> lockd: how is that?
[21:52] <ericl80427> it would be so much easier if i could find away to log onto my account
[21:52] <PriceChild> jay, I've never used webmin... so how abouts we try the old fashioned way? :P
[21:52] <Pelo> soccer_hawk10, ask in #compiz-surion
[21:52] <ompaul> KinPumpkinKing, I use the default - rhythmbox  - and it works well
[21:53] <lockd> cyphase: portable as in it can be ported to other OSes
[21:53] <lockd> cyphase: not portable as in a portable device
[21:53] <cyphase> lockd: right
[21:53] <Pelo> ericl80427, do you have the ubuntu partition mo0unted on your hdd ?
[21:53] <Neodudeman> how do i stop a terminal command if I run it from a launcher, and there's no terminal to Ctrl-C into?
[21:53] <Pelo> ericl80427,  I mean your desktop ?
[21:53] <Creed> PriceChild, I want to use ftp, this is for a hosting service...I don't exactly want to give out a shell (jailed or not) account to anyone wanting to FTP to their sites.
[21:53] <cyphase> lockd: you know what i mean :)
[21:53] <brobostigo1> xmms is potable, it can be recompiled to work on any unix.
[21:53] <Brownster> Felin, hey no worries, first off whats the model
[21:53] <brobostigo1> portable
[21:53] <KinPumpkinKing> ometra, hmm.. I don't like it, though, but I guess that's my problem
[21:53] <ericl80427> um, i dont think so im kindof new to Ubuntu
[21:53] <jay> PriceChild, please advise on what to do the old fashioned way
[21:53] <Felin> WUSB54GC, i believe it uses a Ralink chipset.
[21:53] <PriceChild> jay, sudo a2enmod rewrite, then restart the apache service, and ensure your apache conf is allowing rewrite on whatever roots.
[21:54] <Pelo> ericl80427, no folder on the desktop with disk 1 or disk 2 as the label ?
[21:54] <ericl80427> yes
[21:54] <ericl80427> i see that now
[21:54] <PriceChild> Creed, an sftp account does not always imply an ssh account does it?
[21:54] <Pelo> ericl80427, check in those   look for /home , and in site that your own home folder,  you can back up your data from there and clean install ubuntu
[21:54] <jay> PriceChild, sudo a2enmod rewrite = This module is already enabled! and ive restarted the server already
[21:54] <proximox> anyone got a link to a page listing all the ubuntu derivative distros ?
[21:54] <soccer_hawk10> pelo, did you mean compiz-fusion?
[21:54] <Creed> PriceChild, I still prefer to use FTP...why secure it when its internal only?
[21:54] <Brownster> Felin, u in xp at the mo right? are u using encryption on your access point and if so wep or wpa?
[21:54] <Neodudeman> how do i stop a terminal process if I start it in a launcher, without a terminal?
[21:55] <PriceChild> Creed, on your head be it ;)
[21:55] <Felin> No encryption, and yes, I'm in XP right now.
[21:55] <ericl80427> so i found home, and in there is my account name
[21:55] <Pelo> soccer_hawk10, #compiz-fusion yeah,  sorry if I did a typo
[21:55] <PriceChild> jay, ok well that's good then.
[21:55] <Creed> PriceChild, if I ask for an apple, I would like an apple, not be referred to instead accept a pear.
[21:55] <badkitty> if I want to set up a web server is it better to set it up on my dekstop machine or on a virtualbox?
[21:55] <PriceChild> jay, why do you say it isn't working... that's what drupal is reporting?
[21:55] <PriceChild> Creed, if you ask how to enable the root account, i'm going to talk to you about sudo instead.
[21:55] <soccer_hawk10> pelo, they've been unhelpful so far.  they're ignoring my question.  i assume that means that they don't know the anser
[21:55] <soccer_hawk10> answer*
[21:55] <Pelo> ericl80427,  that is your own personnal /home folder , with all your data and settings in it, back that up and you can reinstall and get evveryting back that you had, exectp the apps themselves
[21:55] <ericl80427> how do i back up my information?
[21:55] <ericl80427> ok
[21:55] <jay> PriceChild, In drupal to enable clean urls using mod rewrite there is a clean url test. The clean url test wont work.
[21:55] <PriceChild> Creed, I don't want to give bad advice... and helping running an unsecure server is bad advice.
[21:55] <ericl80427> yes
[21:56] <ericl80427> but how do i back that up?
[21:56] <Pelo> soccer_hawk10, not every channel is as well attended as this one, you need to be patient or ask better questions
[21:56] <lockd> hence why ftp is hard with an F to set up
[21:56] <stroyan> soccer_hawk10:  It seems that xrandr does a better job than 915resolution on 7.10
[21:56] <Pelo> ericl80427, doyou have an extra hdd you could use ? or a usb flash drive ? or a second cd/dvd burner on that comp ?
[21:56] <ericl80427> flash drive i can use
[21:56] <soccer_hawk10> stroyan, will it help me fix my screen resolution troubles? so far the only way i can get the resolution i want is by using it
[21:57] <bab> I can get grub messages passed to the serial and kernel messages passed to the serial port but for some reason I can not get terminal messages passed to the serial port,  I cant even get  getty -L ttyS0 115200 vt100 to work !!!
[21:57] <Creed> PriceChild, I simply asked what the best FTP server was, a lot of companies use FTP and I want to use FTP, not SFTP. SFTP I'll use if I access the server from the outside world but its a classroom server behind several firewalls and no access to the web whatsoever. I'm not worried about students sniffing the network and getting passwords and such.
[21:57] <soccer_hawk10> stroyan, i've never even heard of xrandr before
[21:57] <PriceChild> jay, Could you pastebin your /etc/apache2/httpd.conf please?
[21:57] <Brownster> Felin, just checking how well its supported or not...
[21:57] <Pelo> ericl80427, then copy the whole /home/username folder to your usb flash drive, then , clean install ubuntu , and copy the content back to your /home/user folder
[21:57] <stroyan> soccer_hawk10:  It is very good with intel screen resolution.  Keith Packard, who works for intel has put much work into xrandr.
[21:57] <dn4> is there a way to get a .pdf file read to you?
[21:57] <badkitty> if I want to set up a web server is it better to set it up on my dekstop machine or on a virtualbox?
[21:57] <Felin> No rush, any help is appreciated. This channel seems rather chaotic.
[21:58] <soccer_hawk10> stroyan, do you have a link to a tutorial?
[21:58] <Pelo> ericl80427, it is also a good idea to make your /home folder on a seperate partition, that way you can reiinstal the os and not worry about your data
[21:58] <ericl80427> clean install as in double click the install icon?
[21:58] <bab> so can some one help me get the serial console working?
[21:58] <ericl80427> I could keep it on the flash drive no?
[21:58] <jay> PriceChild, Oddly its empty
[21:58] <soccer_hawk10> stroyan, will it work with compiz?
[21:58] <Pelo> Felin, just ask your quewstion periodicaly and hope for an answer
[21:58] <MrObvious> Pelo: Nope.
[21:59] <PriceChild> jay, try putting what i just pm'd you into it and save it.
[21:59] <PriceChild> jay, then restart the server
[21:59] <Felin> xD I figured, but I was planning on waiting for a bit before asking again, and hopefully suring a lull.
[21:59] <MrObvious> Pelo: I couldn't get it to boot in qEMU successfully.
[21:59] <Pelo> ericl80427, then you would need to have your flash drive plugged in everytime you boot that comp
[21:59] <ericl80427> for some reason its not not opening the drive..
[21:59] <bab> I can get grub messages passed to the serial and kernel messages passed to the serial port but for some reason I can not get terminal messages passed to the serial port,  I cant even get  getty -L ttyS0 115200 vt100 to work !!!
[21:59] <lockd> Felin: during a lull is bad, though
[21:59] <eromero> is there a way to rename the network interfaces (i want to swap eth0 and eth1)
[21:59] <ericl80427> or maye ill just wait a little bit longer
[21:59] <bab> ericl80427, what drive are you trying to open
[21:59] <Pelo> MrObvious, maybe you can find help on this in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org
[21:59] <Felin> Really? I imagine it would be better to give people time to rest.
[21:59] <ericl80427> my flas drive
[21:59] <ericl80427> flash
[22:00] <bab> ericl80427, and it is mounted?
[22:00] <stroyan> soccer_hawk10:  I don't have a simple tutorial pointer right off the top of my head.  It does work with compiz.  It is mentioned at http://intellinuxgraphics.org/dualhead.html.  But that is for dual displays.
[22:00] <bab> ericl80427, mount
[22:00] <lockd> does anyone know how to stop fullscreen apps using, say, Allegro from seizing all the keyboard?
[22:00] <ericl80427> you mean in the computer..?
[22:00] <MrObvious> Pelo: I've been searching there too.
[22:00] <Pelo> Felin, you'll wait forever, there is no rest for the wicked
[22:00] <MrObvious> Pelo: I'll figure it out.
[22:00] <Pelo> MrObvious,  that 's pretty much all I have
[22:00] <lockd> I would like to be able to press a keyboard shortcut and minimize it using, say, Windowmaker
[22:00] <ericl80427> i had used it before ad it worked, but that was before i had problems booting
[22:00] <bab> FloodBot1, hello
[22:01] <stroyan> soccer_hawk10:  Basically, run xrandr to see a list of supported resolutions.  Then run it again to set a resolution.  The setting is retained on X server restart.
[22:01] <white_eagle> how to install KDE instead of GNOME
[22:01] <Felin> Aaaah, you guys must really like helping people, though. But it's a bit of a better reception than most other distros I've seen. A lot of elitism.
[22:01] <Pelo> ericl80427, just plug it your usb flash drive now,  wait until it is mounted and then copy your /home fodler to it
[22:02] <bab> I cant get the serial port working for ttys0 after boot but I got it working for grub and kernel messages, can somewone help me get it working, I have been working on this all day
[22:02] <ericl80427> ok
[22:02] <Brownster> Felin, looks like your card does work, when u boot into ubuntu, go to the network manager tool, does it list a wireless device? u can also check from a terminal with the command 'iwlist' does it return the name of a device with wireless extensions
[22:02] <ericl80427> its been in there for like 5 minutes not doing anything

[22:02] <white_eagle> thanks ubotu
[22:02] <jay> PriceChild, I did that and the test page still doesnt work
[22:02] <Pelo> ericl80427, what's been where ?
[22:02] <Jack_Sparrow> white_eagle: apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[22:02] <lockd> Felin: but there is a lot of elitism if what you want to do is unsupported, though, remember that
[22:02] <ericl80427> the flash drive into the usb port
[22:02] <stroyan> soccer_hawk10:  I do have to rerun xrandr to get the --fbmm physical size setting back to where I want it after each X server restart.  That may be a "personal problem" with the 50" plasma I have a system connected to.
[22:02] <white_eagle> yes, got it from the bot
[22:02] <Pelo> ericl80427, check on your desktop you should be seeing an icon for it
[22:02] <white_eagle> !thanks bot
[22:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about thanks bot - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[22:02] <lockd> Felin: that's virtually everywhere
[22:03] <Ademan> (g)mplayer always seems to spit errors at me about mp3lib or something like that, is there a way to disable this? it has yet to affect its usefulness
[22:03] <soccer_hawk10> stroyan, sorry, my computer froze.  i'm currently looking at this thru my XP machine.  did you say things about xrandr that i've missed\
[22:03] <Felin> Ok, before I go to reboot, I have one more question, an odd one. Someone I know mentioned the ability to switch between OSs with the Page Up and Page Down keys. How would one manage this?
[22:03] <admin_> I just bought an SD card to play around with, I gotit mounted to my ubuntu laptop, changed the fs to FAT32 as I needed. Then after dissconnecting, using it, ubuntu will no longer mount it, if I try to mount it using the mount command it says bad superblock (the card still works, camera still stores photos and such on it)
[22:03] <PriceChild> jay, could you pastebin /etc/apache2/apache2.conf too please?
[22:03] <Brownster> Felin, also look at the output of  and make a note 'lshw -C network'
[22:03] <timandjulz> !gnome
[22:03] <ubotu> gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop.
[22:03] <stroyan> soccer_hawk10:  I don't have a simple tutorial pointer right off the top of my head.  It does work with compiz.  It is mentioned at http://intellinuxgraphics.org/dualhead.html.  But that is for dual displays.
[22:03] <Altrag> Hello! I am a new guy! I installed ubuntu a wile ago, and its great! but my windows partition stoped booting, not that I care too much, but I need to get some stuff, is there a CD recorder that can write files from my windows partition so I can back them up?
[22:04] <stroyan> soccer_hawk10:  Basically, run xrandr to see a list of supported resolutions.  Then run it again to set a resolution.  The setting is retained on X server restart.
[22:04] <stroyan> soccer_hawk10:  I do have to rerun xrandr to get the --fbmm physical size setting back to where I want it after each X server restart.  That may be a "personal problem" with the 50" plasma I have a system connected to.
[22:04] <Brownster> Felin, not from a normal install, possibly from within a virtual machine
[22:04] <timandjulz> Altrag: You can mount the partition with Windows on it and copy your files off.
[22:04] <soccer_hawk10> okay, i'll try it.  do i need to apt-get remove 915resolution first?
[22:04] <ericl80427> you know what, Pelo can i just reinstall it using the same partition?
[22:04] <ericl80427> it tust seems a whole not easier and less of a burden
[22:04] <Pelo> Altrag, just mount your windows partition to your deslktop and then you can use nautilus to copy your files, and gnomebaker to burn them
[22:05] <stroyan> soccer_hawk10:  I don't see any reason you would want to  apt-get remove 915resolution.  Just don't run it.
[22:05] <Altrag> Right, and how do I mount it?
