[00:00] <jtravnick> ok so i installed alein but where is it is it a cli only?
[00:01] <Pelo> jtravnick, yes  I beleive so
[00:01] <jtravnick> oh great i bite at cli
[00:01] <Pelo> jtravnick, you are better off compiling from the source then converting from a rpm to a deb
[00:01] <sap> Hi, My freind is looking for a good (& simple) program that will Convert mov, .mpg, .mpeg, .ogm, .mp4, .vob . . . . .  etc. to .avi .   Any suggestions?
[00:02] <Smegzor> I can't change my wallpaper in gnome.  I suspect a bug, but does gnome log this sort of thing?  Where do I look to find out why I can't change my wallpaper?
[00:02] <Pelo> sap, go in the forum and do a search for  convertit ,  www.ubuntuforums.org
[00:02] <bigbear98> My solution is just to use the terminal
[00:02] <jtravnick> Pelo, have no idea how to do that plus the program didnt have a source
[00:02] <Pelo> Smegzor, what happens exactly,  descrive your steps and when it goes wrong
[00:02] <sap> Pelo, is convertit  a program?
[00:03] <Pelo> sap, yes
[00:03] <sap> Pelo, k
[00:03] <Smegzor> system/appearance click on a pic in the wallpaper tab, watch nothing change
[00:03] <Smegzor> double click, click furiously, still nothing :(
[00:03] <Pelo> sap, do a search in the forum there is a full how-to to install it , it's not in the repos
[00:04] <Pelo> Smegzor, ok , can you add a new pic ?
[00:04] <Smegzor> I'm about to try it in kde to see if kde can do it
[00:04] <Smegzor> 1 sec
[00:04] <bascule> ?
[00:04] <sap> Pelo, but its good eh?  i was thinkin of recommending him vlc player but not sure of its capabilities?
[00:04] <Pelo> Smegzor, you can do it in gnome , usualy,  your situation is unuual
[00:04] <Smegzor> yes I can add pics
[00:04] <jc> I just installed openoffice 2.4 from their site, I'm running a64, my question is why is openoffice not listed under synaptic, and if its not there how do I uninstall them if I ever want to go back to the supported openoffice version?
[00:04] <Pelo> sap, vlc will play all those file types,  but you asked about converting
[00:04] <Smegzor> still can't change the wallpaper :(
[00:05] <smithm> Has anyone had any degree of success with gnump3d and LIVE audio feeds?  I have done a few searches via google and the general suggestion seems to be no...
[00:05] <Smegzor> brb  trying stuff
[00:05] <Pelo> Smegzor, and can that pic be selected as a wall paper ?
[00:05] <bigbear98> Smegzor have you updated lately?
[00:05] <patryk996> holy crap
[00:05] <sap> Pelo, I thought we could convert also via vlc
[00:05] <Odd-rationale> jc: Did you intall a .deb?
[00:05] <Pelo> sap,  I don'T know about that, I don'T think so I beleive vlc is just a player,
[00:05] <jc> Odd-rationale, yes I installed a .deb
[00:06] <Pelo> patryk996, let me assure you crap is rarely holy, it is very much of this earth
[00:06] <sap> Pelo, k will look into it. thx
[00:06] <Odd-rationale> jc: Open synaptic and in the bottom left go to status. Then go to local/oboslete and see if it is there
[00:06] <Smegzor> yep  updated.  but I wanted to know if there was anything general I could look for.  Its possible that something in hardy is broken just for me.  Its working for others in ubuntu+1
[00:06] <Pelo> bascule, can we help you ?
[00:06] <patryk996> Pelo: holy epiphany ... ?
[00:06] <patryk996> heh
[00:06] <Pelo> Smegzor, if you are using hardy go and ask about yoru problem in #ubuntu+1
[00:07] <Smegzor> I did :P
[00:07] <puff> andash: I did apt-get update and then it installed without a security warning.
[00:07] <bascule> Pelo: I am here participating, I have no real issue
[00:07] <Smegzor> now I'm looking for gnome specific things
[00:07] <sixpence> Hey, just installed Ubuntu on a presario, for some reason Booting up takes for ever. It should take me straight to Gnome on boot-up, however, if i do CTRL+ALT+F1, it'll take me there in no time.
[00:07] <Guest716> What exactly would be required to return to a windows default installed operationg system from ubuntu
[00:07] <jc> Odd-rationale, nope only an entry for the debian-menus
[00:07] <Pelo> Smegzor, try this,  open a pic using the default viewer there is an option in tools or in windows , in one of the menus anyway that lets you use the pick as wallpaper,  see if that works
[00:08] <Smegzor> k
[00:08] <Pelo> Smegzor, the logs are in /var/log , you can check the out , the current ones don'T have anything appended to the names , start with system or sys I cna'T remember the exact name
[00:08] <jramsey> !imap
[00:08] <ubotu> IMAP and POP are protocols for fetching email. The officially-supported server in Ubuntu is Dovecot (packages "dovecot-imapd" for IMAP, and "dovecot-pop3d" for POP) - See also !MailServer for information on the SMTP protocol
[00:08] <Odd-rationale> jc: debian-menus? is that a package you installed manually?
[00:08] <Smegzor> that adds it to the list of pics in system/appearance but fails to put it on the desktop
[00:09] <Smegzor> the desktop wallpaper only changes when i boot up
[00:09] <XiXaQ> Gnutella is the same network as OpenWire uses?
[00:09] <Smegzor> thanks.  thats what I needed to know
[00:09] <Pelo> Smegzor, how about when you restart X ?
[00:09] <LegolasFaol> wich command should I use to put a file on-line throught shell (ftp protocol)
[00:09] <tarelerulz> Have any of you ever used dvd::rip?
[00:09] <jc> Odd-rationlae, sorry yes its one of several deb packages that you install when you install openoffice from their binaries
[00:09] <Smegzor> i'm still a bit new.  how do I do that in console?
[00:09]  * Pelo is so bored , he's actualy intalling games
[00:10] <MagoonD> what is the difference between compiz and gnome?
[00:10] <bobbob1016> How can I hide some mounted volumes from my desktop, but not all?  I saw "gconf-editor" then apps -> nautilus -> desktop, then deselect volumes, but I want some drives showing up, just not my network ones, any ideas?
[00:10] <Pelo> Smegzor, ctrl alt backspace
[00:10] <Smegzor> ah  of course!  brb
[00:10] <Creationist> How do I make sure Ubuntu is using the latest nVidia drivers (proprietary)?
[00:10] <Pelo> bobbob1016, volumes mounted to /media show on the desktop,  those moutned in /mnt don'T
[00:10] <Guest716> What exactly would be required to return to a windows default installed operationg system from ubuntu
[00:11] <bobbob1016> Pelo, Oh, ok.  Thanks.
[00:11] <jc> Odd-rational, the other odd thing is that all the packages are listed if if use dpkg -l to list them
[00:11] <gnumd_eeepc_8G> hello
[00:11] <LegolasFaol> wich command should I use to put a file on-line throught shell (ftp protocol)
[00:11] <Pelo> Guest716, check the windows website do a search , they have a page to tell you how to do that
[00:11] <sight>  I can't install kdelive, when I try ubuntu freeze
[00:11] <Pelo> hello gnumd_eeepc_8G
[00:11] <Guest716> ty pelo

[00:12] <gnumd_eeepc_8G> anyone use seahorse (GPG) ?
[00:12] <MagoonD> how can i disable compiz?
[00:12] <Creationist> How do I make sure Ubuntu is using the latest nVidia drivers (proprietary)?
[00:12] <Odd-rationale> jc: hmm. then maybe apt-get will be able to remove it. idk. sorry.
[00:12] <Pelo> MagoonD, menu > systm > prefs > appearance > last tab,  first option
[00:12] <bobbo85> Hi all, I'm looking for a way to bind a keyboard shortcut to "delete currently playing song" - up for using any audio player, any help?
[00:12] <Smegzor> brb  restarting x again.  i've selected another wallpaper..
[00:12] <Gekone> Night all.
[00:13] <MagoonD> pelo thx
[00:13] <jc> Odd-rational, nope sorry I tried with apt-get and it says the package is not installed :(
[00:13]  * Pelo hopes the easy qusitons just keep comming
[00:13] <Smegzor> yay!  I can have any wallpaper, so long as I restart x :/
[00:13] <Odd-rationale> jc: how did you install the deb?
[00:13] <Smegzor> time to check logs
[00:14] <Pelo> Smegzor, still a bug , check in launchpad to see if it is listed
[00:14] <wers> I want to get hardy's human gtk theme for my gutsy. how do I do it? :) (i dont want to switch to hardy yet)
[00:14] <icesword> !dpkg
[00:14] <ubotu> dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.
[00:14] <Smegzor> ok
[00:14] <sixpence> My ubuntu laptop has a REALLLY slow boot-up. After the grub screen it turns black and it will take 10 minutes to boot if I leave it, however if I press CTRL+ALT+F1, it'll resume booting and boot up smoothly. ANy way to rctify this?
[00:14] <Odd-rationale> jc: btw <tab> might help you autocomplete my nick. e.g. odd<tab>
[00:14] <Smegzor> heh  launchpad is down for maintenance
[00:15] <jc> Odd-rationale, went to the folder with all the debs and did sudo dpkg --force-architectrue *.deb
[00:15] <gnumd_eeepc_8G> does anyone use GNUPG (GPG) encryption?  Was going to try to use seahorse but having some issues
[00:16] <jc> Odd-rationale: Cool thanks for the <tab> I was wondering about that
[00:16] <Odd-rationale> jc: well I really don't know. sorry. stick around though, if dpkg lists it, the there should be a way...
[00:16] <Pelo> gnumd_eeepc_8G, you might have better luck looking for a gnupg channel , or for their website if they have one,  try google
[00:16] <gnumd_eeepc_8G> ok thank you pelo
[00:17] <jc> Odd-rationale: Thanks I'll keep poking around
[00:17] <icesword> ho
[00:17] <icesword> ho

[00:17] <bascule> 3 very short quick lines, that is why icesword
[00:17] <icesword> heheh
[00:17] <icesword> none
[00:18] <icesword> i see

[00:20] <jaffarkelshac> has anyone upgraded to Hardy yet?
[00:20] <jaffarkelshac> and how stable is it
[00:20] <bastid_raZor> jaffarkelshac; all kinds of people have in #ubuntu+1
[00:21] <Serway> I am running hardy, and 100% of everything is working perfectly for me now, on a Lenovo T60
[00:21] <Pici> Serway: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Hardy/8.04 support/discussion.
[00:21] <Pici> er, jaffarkelshac ^
[00:22] <jaffarkelshac> Pici yees
[00:22] <jramsey> anyone setup squirrelmail? the config test fails -- can't find the imap server on port 143; but courier imap is installed; any ideas?
[00:23] <jaffarkelshac> is anyone using amilo 1705
[00:23] <st1650> My NFS doesn't start, can anyone help me trouble shoot ?
[00:24] <DMJC> hi
[00:24] <DMJC> I can't get my rt61pci wireless network driver working
[00:24] <DMJC> can anyone help?
[00:25] <tyranis> I get an error saying desktop effects could not be enabled when I try to enable desktop effects
[00:25] <jaffarkelshac> how do i find out the drivers installed for my devices
[00:25] <bascule> lsmod
[00:25] <jaffarkelshac> cool
[00:26] <bascule> tyranis: you probably have ati or nvidia? It needs the binary drivers if so
[00:26] <tyranis> bascule: I am using the opensource ati driver
[00:27] <bascule> that is why then, I am pretty sure you need the ATI ones
[00:28] <sixpence> Hey, I am having slow boot times, it should boot straight to X11, but after the grub screen it hangs for 5 minutes. However, if I press CTRL+ALT+F1 during the waiting time, booting up continues as it should. Any ideas?
[00:29] <Flannel> sixpence: Are you using DHCP?
[00:29] <Stupendoussteve> Any idea what to do to enable visual effects? Getting "The composite extension is not available" and no dice, using proprietary ati drivers
[00:29] <sixpence> Flannel: Well, it's for a wifi card, yes. I changed time timeout to 5 seconds instead, no difference in boot-up time.
[00:29] <Flannel> sixpence: I'd suggest installing bootchart, and then taking a look at whats using all that time
[00:30] <sixpence> Flannel: Sounds good.
[00:30] <MagoonD> does anyone know what emerald is, is it a part of compiz?
[00:30] <bascule> emerald does/did the window decorations, it is something that was folded together in compiz-fusion
[00:31] <MagoonD> ok thanks bascule
[00:31] <sixpence> Flannel: What's the command for bootchart?
[00:31] <fux0rz> ubuntu pwns
[00:31] <artenius> !javascript
[00:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about javascript - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:31] <bascule> fux0rz: you are preaching to the converted ...
[00:31] <jaffarkelshac> does anyone have problem where their lcd brightness cant be lowered
[00:32] <Flannel> sixpence: Once you install it, it does it's thing automagically, I believe.
[00:32] <fux0rz> hehe
[00:32] <xjkx> is there a group thing on apt-get just as fedora has ?
[00:32] <Flannel> xjkx: group?
[00:32] <sixpence> Flannel: Cool.
[00:32] <MagoonD> i cant find any nice themes for compiz
[00:32] <MagoonD> what is beryl and how do I switch to it
[00:33] <bastid_raZor> MagoonD; compiz is beryl
[00:33] <MagoonD> lol really
[00:33] <bastid_raZor> MagoonD; have you tried any emerald themes?
[00:33] <frank23> MagoonD: beryl was a fork of compiz but now they form only one project: compix-fusion
[00:33] <MagoonD> no i havent where can i get emerald themes
[00:33] <kisori> I can't get my laptop speakers to turn off when using my headphones
[00:34] <kisori> there is no seperate volume control in the volume control
[00:34] <frank23> kisori: in the sound mixer look if there is a switch for that
[00:34] <bastid_raZor> MagoonD; install emerald and go from there
[00:34] <artenius> anyone know specifically what package to install to enable javascript in firefox on gutsy?
[00:34] <kisori> frank23, the problem is there is no switch
[00:34] <MagoonD> bastid_raZor, i already installed emerald but how do I run/open it up?
[00:34] <fux0rz> java?
[00:35] <kisori> only PCM & master
[00:35] <DMJC> my wireless is broken
[00:35] <frank23> kisori: I don't know then... ;-
[00:35] <DMJC> and it WAS working in an older ubuntu
[00:35] <kisori> ok
[00:35] <fux0rz> i think i installed icedtea to get java working
[00:35] <werdz> hey, random question, but does anybody know of anyone who's ever ported IcedTea to SPARC?
[00:35] <ronandi> !themes
[00:35] <ubotu> Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy
[00:35] <DMJC> where are the ubuntu kernels
[00:35] <DMJC> and headers
[00:36] <DMJC> I want to try a newer kernel
[00:36] <bastid_raZor> MagoonD; in system>preferences do you have emerald theme manager?
[00:36] <MagoonD> yes
[00:36] <MagoonD> thanks you bastid_raZor
[00:37] <sixpence> Flannel: So i'm taking a look at my chart how do I break this down?
[00:38] <bastid_raZor> MagoonD; once you figure out which theme you want to use .. alt + f2 and type emerald --replace .. that will tell compiz to use the emerald theme
[00:38] <Flannel> sixpence: Uh, its a timeline at the bottom of what process is doing what (and at what time) with disk/CPU stuff at the top (usage percentages)
[00:38] <MagoonD> ok thanks bastid_raZor
[00:38] <frank23> DMJC: why? compiling a new kernel is more trouble than it's worth unless you absolutely need a specific feature
[00:38] <Flannel> sixpence: Assuming it takes a long time at some point, it should be somewhat obvious as to what the holdup is
[00:39] <sixpence> Flannel: Oh yes. The thing that takes like 85% of the time is something called s01readahead and beneath it is readahead-list
[00:39] <jaffarkelshac> i had 2 instance of ubuntu installed and i deleted the other partition but there are 2 swap partitions left now, how do i know which one i am using so i can delete the used one
[00:39] <Flannel> sixpence: the s01 are just link warts for the init stuff.  readahead is the thing.  No idea what that does.
[00:39] <fux0rz> i dont understand the different themes on gnome-look, which is right for me?
[00:39] <sixpence> Flannel: And then there are all these k-applications at the bottom. Like kthreadd and khelper and knodmrgd
[00:40] <bastid_raZor> MagoonD; and #compiz-fusion has more experienced people with compiz to help.
[00:40] <MagoonD> ok  thanks
[00:40] <i1> plz help... i lost the nvidia settings editing cthe Xconf...after i replaced it..but still it's in low graphic mode...i cant come back...first time ti detected automatically at installation..how to fix?
[00:40] <ripper666> hi everyone!!!!!
[00:40] <chris____> anyone know why when i write a document in OpenOffice with “these speechmarks” in it, and export to PDF, they aren't displayed in the PDF?
[00:41] <ari_stress> morning
[00:41] <ripper666> im havin truble with azureus. it crashes on start up givin me errors
[00:41] <jaffarkelshac> my laptop brightness is stuck any assistance?
[00:42] <ripper666> i have log file if anyone needs it to help me out
[00:42] <ripper666> i am using gutsy amd64bit i think that may be the prob;lem
[00:42] <Flannel> sixpence: the K things are also just warts.  So that'd be threadd and helper and nodmrgd, etc.
[00:42] <ripper666> sun java is pissin me off
[00:42] <asm-> im running an ubuntu iso with virtualbox on windows.. when i select boot from disk it just hangs for a while.. is this not gonna work should I just install it?
[00:42] <xjkx> Flannel, yea, they group packages, l dont remember a group now, but its like a list of packages inside a name, you do yum install groupX and it installs all the group has
[00:42] <devo__> How do I zip up a folder?
[00:42] <bastid_raZor> ripper666;  ktorrent or deluge or transmission (in my opinion) are far better than azureus
[00:43] <xjkx> Flannel, nothing like that on ubuntu right ?
[00:43] <Pici> xjkx: metapackages? yes, we have many of them.
[00:43] <Flannel> xjkx: Thats handled by metapackages in apt- and yeah, we have them.
[00:43]  * Geowany is away: cagar > banho > comer
[00:43] <TrIXx> #debian
[00:43] <xjkx> hows that
[00:43] <Flannel> !away > Geowany[away]
[00:43] <frank23> bastid_raZor: ripper666: agreed
[00:43] <ripper666> bastid_raZor: is ktorrent in resportories
[00:43] <bazhang> asm-: sounds like a vbox or windows question
[00:43] <xjkx> apt-get what to see the groups ?
[00:43] <yowshi> anyone know how to import stuff from outlook express 5?
[00:43] <fux0rz> what type of themes can i install from gnome look?
[00:44] <cafuego> devo__: zip -r folder.zip folder
[00:44] <bastid_raZor> ripper666; yes it is a KDE app but that doesn't bother me.. yes ktorrent is the package name
[00:44] <asm-> bazhang: i selected 'boot from disk' in the Ubuntu menu after VB ran the iso.
[00:44] <ripper666> bastid_raZor: will it work with gnome
[00:45] <frank23> ripper666: there is an option in ktorrent to defeat ISP throttling that worked for me
[00:45] <bastid_raZor> ripper666;  yes, i am using it now
[00:45] <pinchmesh> anyone have an idea about how to set up a remote usb dac on my stereo with ubuntu??
[00:45] <bazhang> asm-: still sounds like a vbox issue; why not try the livecd and see how that fares--burn the iso to cd and then check it out
[00:45] <xjkx> Pici, Flannel i am not familiarized with this term, but can i list some names, and use them to install lots of software that is inside that "name", like a group  ? How ?
[00:45] <ripper666> kool
[00:45] <frank23> ripper666: protocol encryption
[00:45] <Flannel> xjkx: metapackages are just regular packages.  What are you looking for exactly?  And, is there a reason you're not using Synaptic to search/browse?
[00:45] <Pici> xjkx: For example, the ubuntu-desktop metapackage depends on all the components of an Ubuntu Desktop and pulls those packages in via dependenceis.
[00:47] <swilky> hey every one
[00:47] <Rods_Tiger> I'm getting fed up with being told off for using Ubuntu - each time I start the computer, this loud blaring sound chopped into about three segments issues from the speakers, ignoring the volume control and waking the house up.
[00:47] <xjkx> Flannel, i am a fedora user, seeing whats there on ubuntu and whats not, because i am maybe going for ubuntu. Pici yea, but ubuntu-desktop (and the others -desktop) is the only example, if not, they are very few anyway, am i right ?
[00:47] <swilky> what would be the best dhcp to install for a cluster computer with diskless clients to it has to support pxe?
[00:48] <Pici> xjkx: There aren't that many, but there are a few.  education-astronomy for example pulls in all astronomy related applications
[00:48] <Flannel> xjkx: no, theres actually a whole bunch.  But, I'd still use synaptic (System > Admin > Synaptic Package Manager) to browse instead of CLI stuff, especially if you're just looking for *whatever*
[00:48] <xjkx> thanks guys
[00:50] <Rods_Tiger> The other thing I'm not keen on is having to enter all my details all over again, each time I use Ubuntu, from having to tell it to set the mouse left-handed each time, then set up the wireless all over again each time, and so on
[00:50] <pinchmesh> anyone have a usb soundcard???
[00:52] <Rods_Tiger> Isn't there any way I can get Ubuntu to at least remember some of the repetitive things I keep having to type each time?
[00:53] <bazhang> Rods_Tiger: of course Ubuntu allows for these things; what cant you figure out?
[00:53] <tigerstein> hy all
[00:54] <Pici> Rods_Tiger: Are you running off the LiveCD? or have you done an install?
[00:54] <Rods_Tiger> I can't figure out why it forgets that I'm left handed, forgets all the details of the wireless setup, etc
[00:54] <Rods_Tiger> yes, it's the Live CD
[00:54] <Rods_Tiger> the install won't work
[00:54] <bazhang> Rods_Tiger: you need to install; the live cd is just that; when you reboot all the previous session info is lost
[00:54] <tigerstein> both of my /-s superblock have died (jfs), but I can mount it, how can I repair it?
[00:55] <Rods_Tiger> well the install won't work - I've spent about two days trying, and it doesn't. It gives me the option of totally wiping the hard drive and using it all, or nothing. There's no option to share or split the disk space
[00:56] <bazhang> Rods_Tiger: what version of Ubuntu is this? you better get a more recent version that can do all those things
[00:56] <Rods_Tiger> so I can't keep the 'session info' somewhere?
[00:57] <Rods_Tiger> this is 7.10 - which version do I need?
[00:57] <Stepa1> Recently to my Main Menu>Applications>Other the following three items were added
[00:57] <Johnes> How I install Windows media player in UBUNTU?
[00:57] <Stepa1> "Input Actions", Keyboard and keyboard layout, how can i fully remove these
[00:57] <bazhang> 7.10 allows to dual boot in the installer Rods_Tiger; you need to look a bit more carefully
[00:58] <Rods_Tiger> I've spent two whole days wasted on this - I think I know how carefully I've looked thank you
[00:58] <bazhang> Johnes: why would you want to do that?
[00:58] <Rods_Tiger> there simply is no option to dual boot
[00:58] <Johnes> To listen a soccer match! =D
[00:58] <Rods_Tiger> it lets me use the whole disk drive, and that's it
[00:58] <bazhang> Rods_Tiger: well you are stating something I know not to be the case; I have set up dozens of dual boots with that very same disk
[00:58] <Johnes> I am from Brazil
[00:58] <Lainy> I used to be able to use backspace in GNOME terminal (with screen)> I'm using x terminal emulator now and I cannot use backspace. How do I enable it? Thanks.
[00:59] <Rods_Tiger> well that's ridiculous - I know what I can see - there's no option
[00:59] <Stepa1> Recently to my Main Menu> Applications> Other 3 item "Input Options" "Keyboard" and "Keyboard Layout"  I would like to know how I can fully remove these.  By that I mean find the source and delete it not just hide it from the menu cause i know how to do that
[00:59] <Rods_Tiger> I'll start up the install yet again and prove it
[01:00] <LadyNikon> woah
[01:00] <Splatter20> rods_tiger: I seem to remember the option your looking for is called something like "manual"
[01:00] <bastid_raZor> Stepa1; right click applications and edit menus.. you'll be able to uncheck them and they will not show up anymore
[01:00] <LadyNikon> I just logged into fluxbox and it was mixed with gnome O.o
[01:00] <buzzby> Rods_Tiger: What system is currently on your computer? How much free disk space do you have?
[01:00] <frank23> Rods_Tiger: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall   it's right there!
[01:01] <Rods_Tiger> I'm not sure how much disk space there is but there was over 70% free space on a 40GB drive
[01:01] <Rods_Tiger> now that is different
[01:01] <Stepa1> bastid_raZor: but as I said, i would like to remove them from my computer.  I dont want those items filling up extra space. i want to remove from computer, not just menu
[01:01] <sdke> can someone help me out wiht my install? (7.10 is not detecting my hd)
[01:01] <stevendemorez> if anyone can troubleshoot my wifi issues please help;  I have the proper madwifi drivers and patches for my hardware, I can connect to my network, yet am unable to connect to the internet, my dns name is correct and matches with the other four computers on the network and they all connect to the web without a hitch, also connecting to a public wifi hotspot I still get no access to the web
[01:02] <bastid_raZor> Stepa1; i'm unsure if that is a good idea.. you'll have to get other advice.
[01:02] <goob> using ndiswrapper to install a radeon driver (c2_43154.inf).  console keeps telling me that it is an invalid driver once complete - also it is not seeing the .sys and .xml files it needs.  am i pointing it at the right file to start with?
[01:02] <bmharsha> Can I use partitions having FAT32 and NTFS file systems for read and write purpose in Ubuntu?
[01:02] <Stepa1> bastid_raZor: okay, but would you happen to know the directory of the menu items, i forgot it
[01:02] <Rods_Tiger> yes, that page departs from reality - there's no 'resize' button or option at all
[01:02] <Flannel> bmharsha: yes, but not for the install itself.
[01:03] <Rods_Tiger> the first option is 'Guided - use entire disk'
[01:03] <Rods_Tiger> then
[01:04] <Rods_Tiger> then if you click on the next one down, 'guided use largest continuous free space' it chucks you back at 'guided use whole disk' again
[01:04] <goob> using ndiswrapper to install a radeon driver (c2_43154.inf).  console keeps telling me that it is an invalid driver once complete - also it is not seeing the .sys and .xml files it needs.  am i pointing it at the right file to start with?
[01:04] <bmharsha> How can I start a private chat with the person with who replied to my message? I am using Pidgin 2.4.0
[01:04] <Stupendoussteve> goob, radeon as in graphics card?
[01:05] <goob> yes graphics
[01:05] <Stupendoussteve> goob, ndiswrapper is for wifi cards
[01:05] <Rods_Tiger> then there's 'manual', which is no use as it can't change the size of any partition, only delete them
[01:05] <Flannel> Rods_Tiger: do you have any contiguous free disk space?
[01:05] <goob> oh
[01:05] <goob> only wireless huh?
[01:05] <soldats> bmharsha: /msg nick message
[01:05] <Rods_Tiger> I did - probably not at the moment though
[01:05] <goob> any way to get a good graphics driver going?
[01:05] <Stepa1> I was wondering if someone could help me do this with my computer because i think i am having a similar problem
[01:05] <Stepa1> http://ge.ubuntuforums.com/showpost.php?s=6f776b97dcae1b0810a5124c17a91087&p=4224969&postcount=4
[01:06] <Stupendoussteve> goob, yes. Install the restricted drivers manager
[01:06] <Stupendoussteve> just type restricted in the add/remove
[01:06] <goob> any way to get a winXP graphics driver going on ubuntu?
[01:06] <Stupendoussteve> No
[01:06] <erUSUL> goob: ndiswrapper only works with network drivers
[01:06] <werdz> goob: there's fglrx (proprietory ATI driver) - the very latest version (8.3) actually is quite good. then there's also open-source radeon (proabbly what you're using by default)
[01:06] <Rods_Tiger> to be honest, I'd be fine running off the Live CD if it could save the settings somewhere - isn't this possible?
[01:06] <erUSUL> !ati | goob
[01:06] <ubotu> goob: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:06] <goob> nothing shows up in restricted drivers manager for graphics
[01:06] <buzzby> Rods_Tiger:  Try defragmenting the hd.
[01:06] <werdz> goob: exactly what card is it?
[01:07] <goob> radeon 7500 fire gl mobility
[01:07] <Rods_Tiger> I've defragmented over and over and over - about a day and most of the night
[01:07] <bazhang> Rods_Tiger: run it off a usb key or defrag the disk in ##windows
[01:07] <goob> i can't get accelerated graphics at the moment but i have seen it done on this same system
[01:07] <werdz> goobL odd, something that old should be handled by restricted manager :/ In any case, the binary ATI/AMD driver should work for you
[01:07] <Flyerfye> okay guys
[01:07] <Rods_Tiger> you can run it off a USB key? I've got one of those - a 64MB one, but it has some space on it
[01:07] <goob> thinkpad T30
[01:08] <bazhang> Rods_Tiger: not that tiny of a usb key
[01:08] <Rods_Tiger> how big are the settings then?
[01:08] <goob> so i should find info on that at the ubuntu birary driver howto page?
[01:08] <DG19075> Rods_Tiger, at least a 1 GB USB dive
[01:08] <Flyerfye> So Im using Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbons and when I leave on my computer long enough it seems to always have the connection fail at some point or another, its like it suddenly tries to reconnect but it cant so it says it detects no networks, any ideas?
[01:09] <Rods_Tiger> 1GB just to tell it to remember I'm left handed and what my wireless setting are each time?
[01:09] <barslow> hi, I'm having a problem with my EXT2 formatted extra IDE harddrive
[01:09] <Stepa1> Can anyone help me remove files from my menu that were still left behind (after a wine uninstall of programs). The link i provided (last post) says what you should do, but i dont understand, can anyone lead me through it. http://ge.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?p=4224969#post4224969
[01:09] <bazhang> www.pendrivelinux.com Rods_Tiger take a read
[01:09] <barslow> when downloading to it i get an error saying that the disk is full
[01:09] <soldats> Flyerfye: it may be the hibernate or suspend which disconnects wireless, but doesnt resolve the sddress correctly
[01:09] <barslow> when there is like 250 gigs left
[01:10] <Rods_Tiger> surely it must be possible to save that information across usages?
[01:10] <DG19075> Rods_tiger: The 1 GB will holsd the entire system plus space for files and settings
[01:10] <Svenstaro> Stepa1 just right click your menu and choose edit, then untick what you want to hide
[01:10] <Rods_Tiger> but the entire system is already on a CD
[01:10] <Stepa1> Svenstaro: The files were left behind after an uninstall, i do not want to hide them, i want to remove them
[01:10] <bazhang> 1GB usb keys are about $5 dollars now?
[01:11] <Flyerfye> but the screensaver doesnt come on r anything, the wireless network just cuts out

[01:11] <barslow> I'm having a problem with my EXT2 formatted extra IDE harddrive, when downloading to it i get an error saying that the disk is full and there is plenty of space left on it
[01:11] <Svenstaro> Stepa1, well then right click them in the menu and choose remove :)
[01:11] <Stepa1> Svenstaro: right, but will that make sure that all the files are removed from the system?
[01:12] <kindofabuzz> hello my naughty monkeys
[01:12] <Svenstaro> Stepa1, nope it wont, uninstall something and completely remove everything it installed, type "sudo ap-get remove --purge PACKAGENAME"
[01:12] <soldats> Flyerfye: it may also be your router or modem
[01:12] <Rods_Tiger> flannel - yes, that looks useful - thanks
[01:12] <Svenstaro> Stepa1, tho you can be sure that the menu entry is the only thing left
[01:12] <goob> ok next queston - is there a generic driver for a second monitor?
[01:12] <Flyerfye> well its happened from 3 different locations: friends house, school and another school
[01:13] <Flyerfye> and home as well
[01:13] <goob> screens and graphics asks me to specify driver location
[01:13] <Stepa1> Svenstaro: unfortunatly i think these came from uninstalling programs with Wine and thats how they got left behind
[01:13] <barslow>  I'm having a problem with my EXT2 formatted extra IDE harddrive, when downloading to it i get an error saying that the disk is full when  there is plenty of space left on it
[01:13] <goob> hanns-g HW191-D 1440x900 lcd
[01:13] <frank23> barslow: do you have write permission for the folder?
[01:14] <barslow> yes
[01:14] <Svenstaro>  Stepa1, ah, now youre talking :) Yes uninstalling wine programs can be a hassle. You should dive into your ~/.wine/drive_c and physicially remove the files, sadly
[01:14] <Flyerfye> soldats: well its happened from 3 different locations: friends house, school and another school and even at home
[01:14] <DG19075> Stepa1: the command should be:sudo apt-get remove --purge PACKAGENAME
[01:14] <swilky> dose any one know a TFTP server that understands the TSIZE option
[01:15] <Splatter20> stepa1: The programs you name are, I think, KDE preference things. They appeared on my computer as well, and yes I think it was something to do with Wine. But I don't think you can remove the program itself (all three entries run kcmshell with a different option, check them out) if you use any kde stuff
[01:15] <barslow> frank23: i cant figure out whats wrong with it
[01:15] <frank23> barslow: I don't know...
[01:16] <Flyerfye> gtg bye
[01:16] <AlexHoover> Hmm, I have an issue. I have a Dell Dimension 4700. When I try to boot from the DVD drive (F12 -> Onboard or USB CD-ROM drive), it gives some error. I have the DVD in the DVD drive, not the CD drive.
[01:16] <Stepa1> Splatter20: im not really sure if i use KDE stuff (not really sure that it means)  the only thing i do recall is when i use Kooka it says KDE Scanning
[01:16] <kindofabuzz> what's the command to pick alternatives?
[01:16] <AlexHoover> In the BIOS Setup, it finds the DVD drive just fine. Why is the onboard or usb cd drive option not picking up my DVD drive?
[01:16] <soldats> Flyerfye: strange, im sure its set to dhcp, i wonder if its resolving correctly
[01:16] <mouseboyx> is there a package to record all network traffic and display bandwidth usage??
[01:17] <bazhang> AlexHoover: how about setting it in the bios or using the cd drive
[01:17] <Svenstaro> mouseboyx, iptraf

[01:19] <Splatter20> stepa1: Just searched, the program is in the package "kdelibs". I really doubt that you could remove that without breaking something, but if you want to try it in Synaptic, and then look at the list of other packages it will have to remove. Be cautious, I wouldn't worry myself, just remove the menu entrys (Preferences->Main Menu). There is a bug about a similar problem here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/k3b/+bug/14

[01:24] <Splatter20> stepa1: The guy found some files in their home directory that he wanted to delete, but only root could delete them as root was the "owner" (Right click->Preferences->Permissions). He changed this (presumably by running "sudo chown yourusername:yourusername  .config/menus/applications.menu" ) and then he could delete them. Wine usually only puts things in .wine though, so be careful :)

[01:32] <D|sToRt|oN> bazhang well im makeing a screen shot atm it is my question :p
[01:32] <soldats> bobishh: you would need to share those recursively
[01:33] <soldats> bobishh: what command did you use to share them
[01:33] <bazhang> spork969: using iTunes; you can ask in ##apple about that
[01:33] <bobishh> no command, just changed smb.conf
[01:34] <spork969> bazhang, im running ubuntu, itunes won't install on ubuntu
[01:34] <soldats> bobishh: can you pastebin your smb.conf
[01:34] <soldats> !paste > bobishh
[01:35] <bazhang> spork969: then either wait for a linux port of iTunes or find some other way; currently that is the only one

[01:38] <demonspork> does wine run on the ppc version of ubuntu
[01:39] <D|sToRt|oN> well windows cant really read a Linux partition or file system ...
[01:39] <Zoiks> is there anyway to mount a drive read only?
[01:39] <frank23> demonspork: no. windows binaries are x86
[01:39] <mad_max02> D|sToRt|oN, then how do you share files to windows computers ??
[01:39] <D|sToRt|oN> well you will use the network
[01:40] <Stupendoussteve> D|sToRt|oN, gpasswd -a USER vboxuser?
[01:40] <demonspork> frank23, is there a good way to emulate windows binaries in a ppc environment?
[01:40] <Stupendoussteve> sudo gpasswd that is
[01:40] <bastid_raZor> mad_max02;   http://www.fs-driver.org/ this the driver you need for windows to use ext2/3
[01:40] <cogumel0> which file system and mount point should a partition used only for saving data have ?
[01:40] <D|sToRt|oN> ext3
[01:40] <mad_max02> D|sToRt|oN, thats the answer similar to that crap "use google"
[01:40] <cogumel0> D|sToRt|oN, what about mount point ?
[01:41] <frank23> demonspork: I have no idea.... performance would probably be terrible even if you could
[01:41] <tyler_d> where are gnome loading errors recorded?
[01:41] <mad_max02> bastid_raZor, dude I just wanna share folder on ubuntu to another windows machine in network
[01:42] <cogumel0> which mount point should a partition used for data only have ?
[01:42] <Stupendoussteve> mad_max02, System>Administration>Shared Folders
[01:42] <bastid_raZor> mad_max02; you could use winscp from windows.. it is one of the easy ways out.
[01:42] <tyler_d> you can mount it really anywhere you like
[01:42] <mad_max02> Stupendoussteve, that didnt help me. I tried that but I cant find any shares on network from windows machine
[01:42] <Stepa1> Can anyone help with this problem i've been having.  When i switch between windows the screen turns black(only inside the window (main menu and title bar still show)).  I have to minimize everything (or show desktop) and then only maximize the one windows i want.  To switch again, show desktop and open the one i want.  Its a pain
[01:42] <tyler_d> cogumel0: typically I would say somewhere in /media/***foldername****
[01:43] <cogumel0> thx tyler_d
[01:43] <mad_max02> bastid_raZor, or maybe I can buy external hdd with network interface and use it with no problems
[01:43] <bastid_raZor> mad_max02; true.
[01:43] <tyler_d> cogumel0: np man, as well depending on the content go ext3 or ntfs... take into consideration raid etc
[01:43] <mrpoundsign> hmm, is there a way to look at the apt-get upgrade log? It appears as though my request-tracker database was eaten by my mysqld upgrade
[01:44] <mrpoundsign> I want to figure out which version I upgraded from, so I can then figure out what I need to do.
[01:44] <frank23> mrpoundsign: look in /var/log/dpkg.log
[01:44] <tyler_d> Stepa1: compiz? fusion? what version are you on? what video card?
[01:44] <Stupendoussteve> mad_max02, did you share through smb?
[01:44] <bastid_raZor> mrpoundsign; /var/log/ will have an apport.log aptitude log and some other that will help dpkg.log
[01:44] <Stepa1> tyler_d: one sec
[01:44] <mad_max02> okay now I'm back to the beginning: Is there anyone that shares folders to windows machines over network ???
[01:44] <tyler_d> ps... anyone tell me where gnome load errors are stored?
[01:44] <mad_max02> Stupendoussteve, dont think so
[01:45] <tyler_d> ps... anyone tell me where gnome load errors are stored?
[01:45] <tyler_d> mad_max02: yes
[01:45] <barnaby> Hello. I'm trying to delete some files on an external hdd, using rm -r but I get an error saying it can't stat files that it can plainly see. I'm stumped
[01:45] <ce_CE_> #bandung
[01:45] <Dr_willis> barnaby,  if the filesystem is currupted - ive seen that befor
[01:45] <tyler_d> barnaby: rm -rf
[01:45] <tyler_d> barnaby: f being forced
[01:45] <mad_max02> tyler_d, how did you set up share on ubuntu and how do you access it in windows ???
[01:45] <TaRDy> my ubuntu just reset itself (kinda like a ctrl alt backspace)
[01:45] <tyler_d> barnaby: as sudo
[01:46] <jetscreamer> !source
[01:46] <ubotu> You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html
[01:46] <jetscreamer> !deb-src
[01:46] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about deb-src - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[01:46] <barnaby> thx i'll try rm -rf
[01:46] <Chris|> how do i start ssh services in ubuntu?
[01:46] <Stepa1> tyler_d: latest version gusty and video card i'm not sure one is connected to my mother board one is in my mother board, i use the once thats connected to it
[01:46] <frank23> barnaby: be carefull with that ;-)
[01:46] <charliko> Yes  I found the change default OS write up.  but I cannot get the new menu.lst saved.
[01:46] <jetscreamer> the package is openssh if you don't have it installed
[01:46] <barnaby> ok franks I will
[01:46] <barnaby> *frank*
[01:46] <charliko> any help with this?
[01:46] <tyler_d> mad_max02: modify your /etc/hostname to state the name on the network
[01:46] <jetscreamer> as root(sudo) charliko
[01:46] <bastid_raZor> Chris|; install openssh
[01:47] <tyler_d> mad_max02: make a note... do not put a period in your name, or anywhere in this file
[01:47] <charliko> so I need more than admin privileges
[01:47] <bastid_raZor> !ssh > Chris|
[01:47] <jetscreamer> charliko: you need to do something similar to sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[01:47] <mad_max02> tyler_d, I got a name there
[01:47] <ChameleonDave> Hey, how can I make Ubuntu accept root logins?
[01:47] <jetscreamer> charliko: or use some front end
[01:47] <mad_max02> tyler_d, one word
[01:47] <mad_max02> tyler_d, whats next ??
[01:48] <tyler_d> mad_max02: then you should have the ability to simply right click the file and select share....
[01:48] <yowshi> is anyone able to help me import outlook express .dbx files? i've been perusing the ubuntu forum but what i have been finding there hasnt been working
[01:48] <bobishh> soldats:oh, i got it, just had to chmod -R =)
[01:48] <Guevara> ue?
[01:48] <Guevara> que porra de canal é esse?
[01:48] <jetscreamer> ChameleonDave: it's bad to tell you to do sudo su then change pw.. so i won't tell you
[01:48] <joho22> i am a new ubuntu user and im trying to install a game using wine, but im kinda lost at what i have to do, any ideas?
[01:48] <Guevara> caralho
[01:48] <jetscreamer> !br
[01:48] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado.
[01:48] <mad_max02> tyler_d, and how do you access that share ???
[01:48] <bazhang> Guevara: portuguese?
[01:48] <tyler_d> mad_max02: windows network support is samba
[01:48] <Guevara> valeu
[01:48] <barnaby> I have another... I have 2 hds in this computer, wiped em both with gparted before i installed gutsy. It asked me which one to install to, now it doesn't see #2.
[01:48] <bastid_raZor> joho22; #winehq will be better suited for your issues
[01:48] <tyler_d> mad_max02: to access it from the windows machine type \\computername\sharename
[01:48] <mad_max02> tyler_d, and how do you access that share from windows ??
[01:48] <barnaby> Can I add a line in fstab?
[01:49] <mad_max02> tyler_d, I'll try right away
[01:49] <joho22> ok, thanks
[01:49] <tyler_d> mad_max02: enter your username (the one for ubuntu) and snap
[01:49] <soldats> bobishh: can you give me the link
[01:49] <jetscreamer> barnaby: you need to partion it and create fs's then edit fstab
[01:49] <zenwryly> anyone know of a good tool for viewing log files via the web?
[01:49] <jetscreamer> err partition
[01:49] <barnaby> thanks jets
[01:49] <tyler_d> zenwryly: to what extent?
[01:49] <tyler_d> zenwryly: you might want to check out splunk
[01:49] <zenwryly> tyler_d: mostly just to view them and page back and forth
[01:49] <zenwryly> tyler_d: ok
[01:49] <barnaby> but if i can't see it... fire gparted up again?
[01:50] <tyler_d> zenwryly: thats pretty in depth though
[01:50] <Chris|> thank you bastid_raZor
[01:50] <tyler_d> ps... anyone tell me where gnome load errors are stored?
[01:50] <ChameleonDave> jetscreamer: Are you sure that works?  I already have a root password, but that doesn make Ubuntu allow an actual login into a desktop environment
[01:50] <zenwryly> tyler_d: oh, didn't know :)
[01:50] <bastid_raZor> Chris|; glad i could help
[01:50] <Chris|> :)
[01:50] <bobishh> soldats: you want to see my smb.conf ?
[01:51] <soldats> tyler_d: if its an xorg error its in /var/log/xorg.0.log
[01:51] <soldats> bobishh: yea
[01:51] <zenwryly> tyler_d: any other ideas?
[01:51] <sayap_ikarus> kno
[01:51] <Stepa1> tyler_d: I am using the latest version (gusty) but i dont know which video card i am using.  I have two. One is in mother board, the other is connected to it.  I am using the one that is connected to it
[01:51] <tyler_d> soldats: ty mang
[01:52] <tyler_d> I would suggest just ssh with tail
[01:52] <mad_max02> tyler_d, nope. Not working. I type \\hostname\Shared\  and it cant access
[01:52] <soldats> tyler_d: basic error  are in virtual terminal1 and xorg errors are in /var/log/xorg.0.log
[01:52] <tyler_d> zenwryly: quick simple and clean
[01:52] <mad_max02> any other idea ?
[01:52] <sayap_ikarus> j
[01:52] <Dr_willis> mad_max02,  try \\ip#\sharename   in case the hostname cant be resoloved?
[01:53] <sayap_ikarus> abdie
[01:53] <tyler_d> Stepa1: video card is important.. you may want to try dissabling the pluggins etc
[01:53] <tyler_d> Stepa1: system-preferences-appearance
[01:53] <zenwryly> tyler_d: yeah, that keeps me happy, but not my boss :)
[01:53] <barnaby> rm -rf did not work removing directory. tanj.
[01:53] <bazhang> sayap_ikarus: this is the ubuntu support channel; do you have a question?
[01:54] <diazepam> barnably - use sudo
[01:54] <tyler_d> zenwryly: you will be a star if he/she is complex like that :)
[01:54] <fuhreal> What wpa_supplicant driver does the ipw2100 use? ipw or wext?
[01:54] <mrpoundsign> yeargh. ok, so in dpkg.log it has the upgrade messages, but it doesn't have what version it upgraded 'from'... just the new version.
[01:54] <barnaby> sudo'd away. file still there.
[01:54] <Chris|> bastid_raZor would you mind helping me more?
[01:54] <mad_max02> Dr_willis, nope still nothing
[01:54] <Stepa1> tyler: since i have 2 video cards connected to one mother board could that be the cause of the black screen when switching between windows?
[01:54] <barnaby> damn file is sneering at me
[01:55] <Dr_willis> mad_max02,  im not even sure of your original problem. :) There is the samba-doc package with books on samba.  Its possible its some trivial thing you overlooked.
[01:55] <bastid_raZor> Chris|; ask away. if i don't know someone else will have the answer
[01:55] <barnaby> file actually said "Is that all you got? sudo?', etc
[01:55] <Stepa1> tyler_d: since i have 2 video cards connected to one mother board could that be the cause of the black screen when switching between windows?
[01:55] <Dr_willis> mad_max02,  i tend to use the sshfuse type tools now a days.
[01:56] <Chris|> well, i want to let a friend ssh into my comp, but dont i have to set a user name and such for him to login it by?
[01:57] <mad_max02> Dr_willis, well I right clicked on folder and Share Folder, gave it name, selected Windows (SMB) and thats it. I have a name in /etc/hostname but theres no way I can access that share from windows computer. I cant even see it
[01:57] <wimpies> chris|, you can allow him to work under your user
[01:57] <barnaby> it's a music file, a reggae group called Aswad. Think they might have juju'd the drive.
[01:57] <anthony> Chris|: yes, you would need an account for any user.
[01:57] <bastid_raZor> Chris|; man adduser will help you out quiet a bit
[01:57] <anthony> wimpies: You make my head hurt...the security implications of that are pretty icky, don't you think?
[01:58] <tyler_d> mad_max02: can you ping from windows? what ports are open? do you have a firewall?
[01:58] <Chris|> ah ok
[01:58] <wimpies> depends on how much you trust your friend :)
[01:58] <Chris|> i trust him a bit
[01:58] <Dr_willis> mad_max02,  i always just manually install the samba package. its HIGHLY likely it needs to be installed. i NEVER use that gui-user-method. It never seems to work.
[01:58] <Chris|> but i'm not stupid lol
[01:58] <Chris|> brb
[01:58] <yowshi> is anyone able to help me import outlook express .dbx files? i've been perusing the ubuntu forum but what i have been finding there hasnt been working
[01:58] <mad_max02> tyler_d, I can ping it from windows.
[01:58] <tyler_d> mad_max02: I agree with Dr_willis on that note... manually install the samba packages
[01:59] <Dr_willis> mad_max02,  good luck. :) i also tend to manually edit the smb.conf file to enable home shares by default. and of course give the users a samba password with 'sudo smbpasswd -a username'
[01:59] <Prefix> anyone able to identify this cable and tell me what its for? http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/8379/wtfcabelxx9.gif
[01:59] <jetscreamer> ChameleonDave: that's different, edit gdm.conf or use the login manager config in the login screen (if it's there in ubuntu)
[01:59] <Ultumix0014> I need some OpenOffice help
[01:59] <Stepa1> tyler_d: since i have 2 video cards connected to one mother board could that be the cause of the black screen when switching between windows?
[01:59] <mad_max02> Dr_willis, so basically I'll just stick to using flash drive for now.
[01:59] <sayap_ikarus> bcsdyf
[01:59] <Ultumix0014> I'm trying to print some labels
[01:59] <Ultumix0014> and there is no template for them
[01:59] <n3kr0n> someone know about Qt4?
[01:59] <jetscreamer> you need latex and a cray to print labels
[01:59] <bastid_raZor> Prefix; that is an svideo to rca.. i think
[01:59] <bazhang> sayap_ikarus: please stop
[01:59] <tyler_d> Stepa1: doesn't sound like it no... I used to get errors like that when using an ati with compiz enabled...
[02:00] <Ultumix0014> I tried setting it up manually
[02:00] <Ultumix0014> that didn't work
[02:00] <mrpoundsign> so is there a command to downgrade an upgraded package? My fancy new mysql package killed my rt database.
[02:00] <Ultumix0014> So does anyone know much about printing labels in OpenOffice
[02:00] <tyler_d> Stepa1: I would suggest figuring out what video card you have
[02:00] <tyler_d> Stepa1: and attempt finding the right driver
[02:00] <jetscreamer> Prefix: that is svideo out  to hd inputs
[02:01] <SeaPhor> I have an on-going problem, and so far no one has been able to help me, I'm having to live at my INLAW's home and they have wireless, I have a rtl8185 PCI wireless card, and a linksys wusb54gsc, cannot get either to work, the home net is using wpa2 psk, tkip... please help
[02:01] <jetscreamer> rgb or so
[02:01] <Stepa1> tyler_d: you know what, that reminds me of something i saw when i first installed ubuntu, one sec
[02:01] <jetscreamer> !info wpasupplicant
[02:01] <alarmo> Guys, does anyone have any Idea how can get my LCD brightness down (notebook) ? I'm being blinded by the screen right now... and my battery screams :)
[02:01] <jetscreamer> gah
[02:01] <jetscreamer> !wpasupplicant
[02:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wpasupplicant - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[02:02] <jetscreamer> install it, configure it
[02:02] <Stepa1> tyler_d: yes, if i go to administration, there is a restricted drivers thing.  my video card is listed there
[02:02] <Stepa1> tyler_d: NVIDIA
[02:02] <barnaby> alarmo> seems to me ther's an app in synaptic to control screen resolution ( and maybe brightness)
[02:02] <swilky> dcan some one help me?
[02:02] <jetscreamer> Stepa1: lspci |grep -i vga
[02:02] <swilky> i have my tftp server up and running
[02:03] <swilky> but when ever i transfer something it says Transfer timed out
[02:03] <wuxia> how do I get sound to work under ubuntu?
[02:03] <wuxia> is there some auto detection tool I can run?
[02:03] <swilky> lshw
[02:04] <swilky> in the cli
[02:04] <swilky> and see if ubutu has picked it up
[02:04] <Stepa1> tyler_d: i dont know if this will help, but someone made me run a command and i got 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV44 [GeForce 6200 TurboCache(TM)] (rev a1)
[02:04] <SeaPhor> I am very new to linux, if anyone has the patience to tell me how. is it sudo apt-get !wpasupplicant ?
[02:04] <swilky> apt-get install
[02:05] <tyler_d> Stepa1: yup yup
[02:05] <tyler_d> Stepa1: you have a geforce 6200
[02:06] <Stepa1> tyler_d: from what i am getting, since the video card is listed in Restricted Drivers, does that mean that Ubuntu will not work well with it?
[02:06] <SeaPhor> wbc@wbc-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install !wpasupplicant
[02:06] <SeaPhor> bash: !wpasupplicant: event not found
[02:06] <tyler_d> Stepa1: I would then suggest, and I'm sure I will be corrected if I'm wrong, but the nvidea driver
[02:07] <tyler_d> Stepa1: I would try a different driver... you could attempt the default xgl driver
[02:07] <alarmo> AH! Found the entry on proc....
[02:07] <alarmo> bye guys..
[02:07] <tyler_d> Stepa1: I brb
[02:07] <Stepa1> tyler_d: how would i try that driver?
[02:07] <bazhang> SeaPhor: that is sudo apt-get install wpasupplicant no ! in front of it
[02:07] <Chris|> how do you restart sshd services?
[02:07] <Stepa1> tyler_d: okay
[02:07] <Chris|> or even start them..
[02:07] <SeaPhor> Nvidia's website has a host of linux native drivers
[02:07] <diazepam> chris /etc/init.d/sshd start
[02:07] <Boohbah> Chris|: sudo /etc/init.d/sshd restart

[02:10] <bobishh> oh, one more question, don't you know how to configure v4l2 driver? i'm using laptop with webcam, and i'm not satisfied with resolution of pix taken by cheese
[02:11] <SeaPhor> i dont know how, i'm new here
[02:11] <nickrud> SeaPhor you would open the link above in a browser, then copy the stuff you want to show onto the page and submit. Then put the url you get back here
[02:11] <ralph> I just upgraded from 6.10 to 7.10 via 7.04.
[02:11] <ralph> Could someone please help get me out of the corner I am in.
[02:11] <ralph> I upgraded using the 7.04 and 7.10 disks.  Now I seem
[02:11] <ralph> to have 4 versions of ubuntu, one is 6.10, one is 7.04,
[02:11] <ralph> one is 7.10 and I didn't check what the 4th one is
[02:11] <ralph> but it is one of the above.
[02:11] <FloodBot1> ralph: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:11] <ralph> I only wanted one version (7.10).
[02:12] <nickrud> SeanTater and the stuff you showed us says you already have wpasupplicant, at the latest version available in ubuntu
[02:12] <nickrud> sorry SeanTater SeaPhor the above was for you
[02:12] <SeaPhor> i know, but still doesn't work
[02:13] <bobishh> ralph, you don't want to see them in grub menu?
[02:13] <ryan__> I need some help installing a bin file
[02:13] <nerdygirl_ellie> Hello all.
[02:13] <ryan__> hello
[02:13] <barnaby> hello nerdy
[02:13] <bazhang> there is a gui for wpasupplicant called wpagui? interesting
[02:13] <nickrud> ralph you have several kernels available most likely, but most likely you have 7.10. boot the 7.10 kernel and type   lsb_release -a to see
[02:14] <mrpoundsign> can anyone help? It appears as though upgrading my mysql server killed my request-tracker database. (Incorrect information in file: './rtdb/Users.frm', as well as a bunch of other .frm files)
[02:14]  * nickrud is most likely not very intelligible tonight
[02:14] <tyler_d> the users .dmrc file is being ignored.. ensure that the file has 644 permissions and is writeable only by the owner... same with $HOME?? anyone?
[02:14] <mrpoundsign> I think I upgraded from 5.0.38 to 5.0.45
[02:14] <nerdygirl_ellie> is it possible to dual boot the x32 and x64 versions of ubuntu?  If so, is there a basic outline of the install process?
[02:14] <skone> can anyone help with this:
[02:14] <skone> [Thu Mar 27 21:02:34 2008] [warn] The ScriptAlias directive in /etc/apache2/conf.d/nagios.conf at line 9 will probably never match because it overlaps an earlier ScriptAlias.
[02:14] <mrpoundsign> but I can't seem to find a notable difference in the innodb settings between the versios. The my.cnf is identical.
[02:14] <fuhreal> Anyone here use networkmanager?
[02:14] <bobishh> ralph, ?
[02:15] <Stepa1> tyler_d: just as a side note i have onther video card in my hands ADDA i dont know if that will be a better replacement for the Nvida, but can you tell me how to install xgl driver
[02:15] <d91w> I need to download a bin file so I can flash my nokia n800
[02:15] <nickrud> tyler_d sudo chown  <usrname>:<usrname>  /home/<usrname>/.dmrc   && chmod 644 /home/<usrname>/.dmrc
[02:15] <tyler_d> Stepa1: no no no
[02:15] <nerdygirl_ellie> skone:   You have two scriptalias  entries that duplicate each other.  If nagios works, you can ign0re it.
[02:15] <tyler_d> nickrud: already verified that
[02:15] <tyler_d> nickrud: what about $HOME
[02:15] <nickrud> nerdygirl_ellie yes you can. Install the one you don't want to control grub first
[02:16] <skone> nerdy: I am unable to authenticate to the web interface.  I'm thinking this may be causing it
[02:16] <nickrud> tyler_d   chown it to the username . Other possibility is that /home isn't getting mounted at boot
[02:16] <tyler_d>  Stepa1: other drivers can be installed through system-administration-hardware drivers
[02:16] <tyler_d>  Stepa1: or through system-administration-appearance
[02:16] <barnaby> Thx for the help folks. i go to wrestle with this sneery non-removeable file.
[02:17] <nerdygirl_ellie> nickrud: is there a way to reinstall grub in the x32 environment?
[02:17] <nickrud> nerdygirl_ellie and don't use a common /boot partition, since the kernel names are the same for 32bit and 64bit
[02:17] <tyler_d> nickrud: if /home isn't mounted at boot? my /home isn't on a seperate partition though?
[02:17] <Stepa1> tyler_d: do you mean preferences cause i dont see those in the admin
[02:18] <nickrud> nerdygirl_ellie you already have the 32bit installed?  Then once you've installed 64bit, boot into 32bit and run  sudo update-grub && sudo grub-install /dev/<bootdrive>
[02:18] <tyler_d> Stepa1:system-administration-hardware drivers
[02:18] <nerdygirl_ellie> next question..  How do I resize an ext3 partition?  (yes I made a backup, lol.)

[02:18] <ralph>  5
[02:18] <ralph>  6
[02:18] <nickrud> tyler_d then I'd need more info, based on what you've said about home and dmrc

[02:18] <ralph> 11
[02:18] <Stepa1> tyler_d: i do not see that
[02:18] <nerdygirl_ellie> nickrud: yes, I've had x32 installed for a couple of years.  thanks
[02:18] <skone> nerdygirl_ellie: any other ideas?
[02:18] <phire42> Ralph are you trying to be kicked out?
[02:19] <nerdygirl_ellie> tyler_d: no, 700
[02:19] <nordland-iv> hey, if I have a .tar.gz file and it has a folder that says "GAME" and a file that says BLAH.sh how do I install it?
[02:19] <Hamled> is there an irc channel for linuxwireless.org ?
[02:19] <tyler_d> nerdygirl_ellie: ty
[02:19] <bobishh> ralph, what do you want to do with those kernels? do you want to remove it from boot menu?
[02:19] <nerdygirl_ellie> nordland-iv: first check and see if it is in the repositories.  Then, failing that, expand it with file-roller and double-click the .sh file.
[02:20] <nerdygirl_ellie> nordland-iv: is it second life?
[02:20] <tyler_d> Stepa1: try system-preferences-apearance

[02:22] <SeaPhor> i have 2 network icons in toolbar, one is my wired, which runs all over the house-but works fine, and the othe rhas a warning symbol in it, and a signal-strength bar next to it half full, the rtl8185 shows in lshw -C network
[02:22] <nerdygirl_ellie> Jazzhead09: you can install ubuntu inside xp with qubi, a part of the heron beta
[02:22] <Animortis> Does anyone have any experience setting up Gutsy as a print server to windows pcs over a home network?
[02:23] <thiemster> nerdygirl_ellie: isn't it wubi?
[02:23] <damo22> Animortis: sounds like a pain to set up
[02:23] <nerdygirl_ellie> thiemster: yes, that's it.

[02:23] <Animortis> damo22: It's been so far. I finally have Windows finding the printer, but the add printer program crashes every time it connects to it.
[02:23] <thiemster> Animortis: use samba i think
[02:24] <mrpoundsign> please can someone help me downgrade from mysql-server 5.0.45 to 5.0.38?
[02:24] <nerdygirl_ellie> mrpoundsign: I can help.
[02:25] <mrpoundsign> nerdygirl_ellie: sweet. my innodb tables are hosed. I need to back out so I can back them up and then upgrade again and restore them. It's just one database.
[02:26] <nerdygirl_ellie> mrpoundsign:  open synaptic, search for mysql-server go to package -> force-version
[02:26] <Animortis> I have no problems with setting up the server for file sharing or even finding the printer. It just crashes the Windows client for some reason.
[02:26] <mrpoundsign> strange thing is, I download the mysql-common .38 and the my.cnf is identical.
[02:27] <mrpoundsign> nerdygirl_ellie: heh heh... I am running server edition.
[02:27] <nerdygirl_ellie> mrpoundsign: did you run the check table* commands.  * - I think that's what it is called.
[02:27] <ronandi> my sound just stopped...wtf?
[02:27] <mrpoundsign> nerdygirl_ellie: yes. and that's where it finds the errors.
[02:27] <vlambert> Hello
[02:28] <thiemster> vlambert: hi
[02:28] <vlambert> I am having a problem booting ubuntu 7.10
[02:28] <thiemster> thiemster: what happens?
[02:28] <bashologist> I have a samba server setup on linux and I access it with my mac leopard and some filenames show up strange like "GGKECE~C". What's going on?
[02:28] <thiemster> vlambert: what happens?
[02:28] <bobishh> Is there some panel applet 4 evolution ?
[02:28] <Jack_Sparrow> ronandi, Report no sound or any errors after you run this command: speaker-test -c2 -Ddefault -t wav -l1
[02:28] <vlambert> it was working all fine but then, tonight, it the loading stops and i get the message : ALERT /dev/disk/by-uuid/(uuid) does not exist
[02:28] <vlambert> and i get droped to a shell
[02:29] <vlambert> the only thing i could relate that to is plugging and un plugging a usb printer and an ipod
[02:29] <vlambert> it is the second time that happens ot me
[02:29] <nerdygirl_ellie> mrpoundsign: I _think_ dselect can let you select packages by version from the cli, but that is a stab in the dark.
[02:29] <thiemster> vlambert: just a sec. i'll look online for a solution cause i've never heard of the problem before
[02:30] <vlambert> thimester: thanks
[02:30] <nerdygirl_ellie> vlambert: in your grub boot menu, try another kernel.
[02:30] <talcite> hey guys. Does anyone know where I can find a guide about using / notation in IP ranges?
[02:30] <talcite> ie. <IP_ADDRESS>/24
[02:30] <vlambert> nerdygirl: how do I choose another kernel ?
[02:30] <ronandi> Jack_Sparrow: I dont hear anything. Here is the error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61304/
[02:30] <nerdygirl_ellie> vlambert: I had that probblem right after installing HH, and the kernel image didn't have a ide driver.
[02:30] <mrpoundsign> nerdygirl_ellie: yeah, was just going through that. I have remote X11, wondering if I can get synaptic working remotely...
[02:30] <nerdygirl_ellie> talcite: I can help.
[02:31] <Boohbah> talcite: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIDR
[02:31] <talcite> CIDR! that was it!
[02:31] <nerdygirl_ellie> talcite: do you understand the <IP_ADDRESS> notation?
[02:31] <talcite> thanks!
[02:31] <talcite> nerdygirl_ellie: kinda, not really
[02:31] <Boohbah> classless inter-domain routing
[02:31] <nerdygirl_ellie> mkay..
[02:31] <thiemster> vlambert: sorry, I have no clue. Good luck
[02:31] <Jack_Sparrow> ronandi, Did you install version 16 of the alsa driver?
[02:31] <vlambert> thiemester: thx anyway
[02:32] <nerdygirl_ellie> talcite: in x.x.x.x/y notation, the number of ip's = 2^(32-y)
[02:32] <thiemster> vlambert: in your boot menu, you could try pressing the escape key and then doing safe boot ( i think that's what it's called)
[02:32] <thiemster> vlambert: but I doubt that would do anything
[02:32] <Jack_Sparrow> ronandi, version 15 works better with our mixer...    Fixing sound.. download this: http://hg.alsa-project.org/alsa/raw-file/tip/alsa-info.sh  #and run the script as Normal User... with this command: bash ./alsa-info.sh  ... then go to http://en.pastebin.ca/906336 and answer those questions ..  then  /join #Alsa and provide them with your question and a link to the uploaded file.

[02:32] <nerdygirl_ellie> talcite: i.e.  /24 = 2^(32-24) = 256 Ip's.  2 of those are not usable, because they are the broadcast and network addresses.
[02:32] <vlambert> thiemester: tried that but it didn't work
[02:33] <charles__> what is the package name for ghc, the glasgow haskell compiler?  I searched 'glasgow' and 'ghc' in the package manager
[02:33] <ronandi> kk
[02:33] <ronandi> brb
[02:33] <thiemster> vlambert: maybe you could try booting using the Super Grub Disk CD (google it)
[02:33] <voiici> why must kernel modules be rebuild after every kernel-update?
[02:33] <kitche> charles__: try looking for haskell
[02:34] <fgbfg> !Nautilus-CD-Burner
[02:34] <nerdygirl_ellie> vlambert: on the press any key to enter boot menu, press a key.  Then press down arrow to go to the next older kernel, probably down-arrowing twice.
[02:34] <charles__> kitche, I did that as well, the only thing that pulled up was a text editor called 'scribes'
[02:34] <vlambert> thiemste: thx, ill give it a try
[02:35] <thiemster> vlambert: ok, but i bet what nerdygirl_ellie said will work better. I've only been using linux since about christmas
[02:35] <nerdygirl_ellie> charles__: haskell is in the community repositories, I think, one sec.
[02:35] <thiemster> vlambert: and i don't know all of the intricate details. When my system wouldn't boot right, I just reinstalled Linux instead of trying to find the problem
[02:35] <kitche> charles__: I checked but it seems ubotu is not working right now which is what I use to check packages
[02:36] <Boohbah> http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[02:36] <charles__> kitche, normally I can just type a command at the line and it will tell me it is missing and which package provides it; I tried typing 'ghci' and 'ghc' and got nothing
[02:36] <nerdygirl_ellie> charles__: you have to enable the universe repository, and it's in there.
[02:36] <mrpoundsign> nerdygirl_ellie: <crosses fingers> downgrading now.
[02:36] <maxwell888> I am using GutsyGibbon 64bit.  occasionally my mouse gets stuck and I have to reboot in order to regain use of my mouse.  is there any way to not reboot?

[02:37] <Bsims> how do I tell xchat not to be a prat and overlap my timestamp with the user names
[02:37] <nerdygirl_ellie> charles__: open synaptic, settings->repositories, check the "universe" repositories, then search for haskell.

[02:38] <bookmark> sorry haha, yeah i had a question: what happens if you password protect your bios boot but then there is a malfunction or you forget the password?
[02:38] <charles__> nerdygirl_ellie, ahh, apt-get install ghc6 is working

[02:39] <soldats> Firefox: if you ever need to see the distro you run in ubuntu do the command in terminal "lsb_release"
[02:39] <charles__> nerdygirl_ellie, I wonder why that didn't show up when I searched ghc
[02:39] <keith> fgbfg: when i have an iso in ubuntu, i can just right click on it and there is an option to burn

[02:45] <josh_> i dont have any keybinding tabs in compiz ? why???
[02:45] <nerdygirl_ellie> SeaPhor: take a step back, start from the beginning.
[02:45] <nerdygirl_ellie> SeaPhor: sudo iwlist scan
[02:45] <Jack_Sparrow> josh_, they are on a different page.. I had the same issue
[02:45] <nerdygirl_ellie> SeaPhor: can it see any wireless networks?
[02:45] <SeaPhor> I have an on-going problem, and so far no one has been able to help me, I'm having to live at my INLAW's home and they have wireless, I have a rtl8185 PCI wireless card, and a linksys wusb54gsc, cannot get either to work, the home net is using wpa2 psk, tkip... please help
[02:46] <josh_> what do you mean "different page"
[02:46] <SeaPhor> i have 2 network icons in toolbar, one is my wired, which runs all over the house-but works fine, and the othe rhas a warning symbol in it, and a signal-strength bar next to it half full, the rtl8185 shows in lshw -C network
[02:46] <nerdygirl_ellie> SeaPhor: has your wireless ever worked, anywhere, in linux?
[02:46] <Jack_Sparrow> josh_, general options.. actions..commands
[02:46] <IndyGunFreak> SeaPhor: whats the chipset on the rtl?.. open a temrinal and type "lspci"
[02:46] <SeaPhor> rtl8185
[02:46] <soldats> Bsims: i believe you can state how long a nick can be in some confis for xchat, firstly id suggest looking at the xchat hopepage and look for documentation. see if you can find nick-max-length or something like that, i havent used it in a long while but i know it can be done. maybe set it for 8 or 9 characters
[02:46] <spork969> VLC refuses to play DVDs, i just click play then choose disk. it worked on my old machine, but now it won't? im going to be gone for a while, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
[02:47] <mrpoundsign> nerdygirl_ellie: well, that didn't help. crappers.
[02:47] <nerdygirl_ellie> IndyGunFreak: he has it enabled with the ndiswrapper driver, and it looks like it can see wireless networks, but not connect wpa.
[02:47] <Bsims> Hrm Ok soldats I generaly prefer irssi though
[02:47] <IndyGunFreak> nerdygirl_ellie: oh ok..
[02:47] <SeaPhor> nerdygirl, no wireless has not
[02:47] <IndyGunFreak> well he needs to read up on wpa_supplicant
[02:47] <nerdygirl_ellie> mrpoundsign: I didn't think it would, you have to fix the busted tables.
[02:47] <nerdygirl_ellie> mrpoundsign: mysql.org has some good resources.... Sorry I can't help more.
[02:48] <nerdygirl_ellie> SeaPhor:
[02:48] <soldats> Bsims: well ok irssi is a llot easier both homepages have description on how to configure it. irssi is fairly easy but just check there and come back if you cant find it
[02:48] <nerdygirl_ellie> SeaPhor: That's okay.  if you run sudo iwlist scan, does it show any wireless networks?
[02:48] <SeaPhor> iwlist scan =no scan results
[02:48] <mrpoundsign> nerdygirl_ellie: indeed. But everything I have found had to do with setting changes to my.cnf that I never did... and the my.cnf in the mysql-common 5.0.38 is exactly the same. repair table throws up the same error.
[02:48] <josh_> not there i have general option then commands but that's something different
[02:48]  * Bsims grins not that big of a deal, but was annoying

[02:49] <Bsims> never tried konversation

[02:49] <nerdygirl_ellie> SeaPhor: ok, that means your wireless nic isn't working.
[02:49] <IndyGunFreak> Bsims: it sucks.
[02:49] <josh_> sorry not there
[02:50] <soldats> Bsims: well lok into those sites and let me know, there are configs you can set for each
[02:50] <Bsims> Yeah that was my opinion eons ago when I tried it
[02:50] <Jack_Sparrow> josh_, /join #Compiz
[02:50] <nerdygirl_ellie> SeaPhor: let's check ndiswrapper next.  'lsmod | grep ndis'  is it in there?
[02:50] <Jack_Sparrow> josh_, are you running hardy?
[02:51] <josh_> no
[02:51] <SeaPhor> no
[02:51] <b0xxy> no
[02:51] <nerdygirl_ellie> seaphor:  Ok, let's try loading it.  'modprobe ndiswrapper'
[02:51] <Jack_Sparrow> josh_, what does lsb_release -a show
[02:52] <nerdygirl_ellie> SeaPhor: did that throw any errors?
[02:52] <SeaPhor> no
[02:52] <josh_> (lenny(debian))
[02:53] <Jack_Sparrow> josh_, Please /join #Debian
[02:53] <fish2shoes> hello!
[02:53] <nerdygirl_ellie> SeaPhor:  good.  now run 'lsmod | grep ndis' and see if it is in there.
[02:53] <nerdygirl_ellie> hiya fish2shoes
[02:53] <Jack_Sparrow> josh_, No Debian and Ubuntu are NOT the same.
[02:53] <fish2shoes> hi!
[02:54] <josh_> are you sure?
[02:54] <soldats> hello fish2shoes
[02:54] <vnieto> Hi all
[02:54] <Maxdamantus> Ubuntu is derrived from Debian.
[02:54] <thiemster> josh_: they aren't the same.
[02:54] <nerdygirl_ellie> SeaPhor: if it is, then the next step is to  'sudo ndiswrapper -l' and see what (if any) wireless drivers it says are loaded.
[02:54] <Jack_Sparrow> !debian
[02:54] <Maxdamantus> But it works in quite similar ways.
[02:54] <ubotu> Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu!
[02:54] <vnieto> someone have isntall a ateros wireless card sucessfully?
[02:54] <SeaPhor> nerdygirl_ellie: no not there
[02:55] <nerdygirl_ellie> SeaPhor: interesting.  try again?  'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper'
[02:55] <Maxdamantus> Ape is to Man, as Debian is to Ubuntu.
[02:55] <Jack_Sparrow> !ot > Maxdamantus
[02:55] <nerdygirl_ellie> Maxdamantus: not really, more of homo erectus to homo sapiens.  Most of the dna is the same.
[02:55] <SeaPhor> nothing
[02:55] <Bsims> don't be dissing the Debian its been around forever for a reason
[02:56] <Maxdamantus> I was describing the relationship between Debian and Ubuntu.
[02:56] <vnieto> someone have install a atheros wireless card sucessfully over X64?
[02:56] <Jack_Sparrow> !ot
[02:56] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[02:56] <nerdygirl_ellie> SeaPhor: can you type dmesg and see if any errors are at the end?
[02:56] <SeaPhor> usbcore               161584  8 ndiswrapper,usbhid,xpad,usb_storage,libusual,uhci_hcd,ehci_hcd
[02:56] <josh_> i heard ubuntu is  wayyyy less stable then debian
[02:56] <nerdygirl_ellie> josh_: misstatement.
[02:57] <nerdygirl_ellie> SeaPhor: ok, it's in there, that's good.
[02:57] <SeaPhor> cmd not found
[02:57] <bobishh> i just saw NWWL and i'm shocked! naked woman wrestling league? WOW!
[02:57] <soldats> josh_: no ubuntu is by far the stabelest
[02:57] <nerdygirl_ellie> SeaPhor: you get command not found when you run sudo ndiswrapper -l ?
[02:57] <SeaPhor> sorry, thought looking for rtl8185
[02:57] <fr500> josh_: define stability
[02:57] <fr500> it's all subjective
[02:57] <SeaPhor> no, 'demsg'
[02:58] <vnieto> some body can helpme with a at5007 over ubuntu 64X?
[02:58] <Jack_Sparrow> fr500, Please dont feed the troll, he is gone
[02:58] <fr500> ok
[02:58] <Maxdamantus> SeaPhor, dmesg.
[02:58] <cameo357> Hello all, am totally newbie with any linux and need help with installing java
[02:58] <nerdygirl_ellie> SeaPhor: ok,  good.  now try 'sudo ndiswrapper -l'  ... what does it say?
[02:58] <mneptok> cameo357: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin
[02:58] <SeaPhor> got errors on dmesg
[02:58] <vnieto> some body can helpme with a at5007 over ubuntu 64X?
[02:59] <nerdygirl_ellie> cameo357: Hi!
[02:59] <cameo357> can't get it to work sudo where do i type it
[02:59] <mneptok> cameo357: in a temrinal
[02:59] <rryan> josh_: If you want stability, go with slackware linux. Ubuntu cannot hold a candle to it in the stability area. That's mostly because ubuntu packages modern versions of applications, whereas Slackware packages stable versions of applications. Modern and stable are opposites. Software takes time to make stable.

[03:03] <ghaarnok> evening
[03:03] <fr500> vnieto: to start, you should elaborate, what is an at5007?
[03:03] <nerdygirl_ellie> mrpoundsign: would you be willing to let me ssh into your server?  I may be able to help.
[03:03] <mrpoundsign> nerdygirl_ellie: fraid not :)
[03:03] <mneptok> nerdygirl_ellie: such offers are not good policy. please refrain.
[03:03] <vnieto> the at5007 is a atheros wireless card
[03:03] <SeaPhor> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61307/
[03:04] <fr500> vnieto: maybe madwifi would work
[03:04] <vnieto> madwifi don't work for 64
[03:04] <mneptok> vnieto: then install i386
[03:04] <Drod> any dvd player displays "closed captions" that appear on TV
[03:04] <mneptok> vnieto: MadWifi *is* Atheros on Linux. if they don;t support your platform/chipset, it's game over.
[03:04] <Drod> any dvd player displays "closed captions" that appear on TV?
[03:05] <mneptok> !repeat > Drod
[03:05] <fr500> vnieto: and what about ndiswrapper
[03:05] <nerdygirl_ellie> mrpoundsign: understood.  If I were you, I would stop mysql, copy the /var/lib/mysql files somewhere else, and then copy your tables back in one at a time until you get to the one that doesn't work.   Then that one table you can plod around with and you know you'll have a minimally broken version as a backup to fall back to if you really broke it.
[03:05] <vnieto> FR500: I have install ndiswrapper, work fine for a time, and later and now "see" the access point , but don't connect
[03:05] <fux0rz> u5q4rtj[
[03:06] <ghaarnok> i am new to ubuntu and may i say i'm quite impressed thus far
[03:06] <Drod> mneptok, I am new here, did you mean to give me an answer?
[03:06] <nerdygirl_ellie> SeaPhor: Good, that means your ndiswrapper is installed and working.  Now run 'sudo iwlist scan' and see if it finds any networks.
[03:06] <TheViLliN> whats the best way to access another machine across a network.  I know vnc,  possibly telnet.  but I'm checking other options out.  mostly just need a command prompt.  Any suggestions?
[03:06] <mrpoundsign> nerdygirl_ellie: yeah, I can get a list of busted tables. I think it's all the innodb ones rt created.
[03:06] <Drod> mneptok, sorry for repeating, I forgot the question mark! LOL
[03:07] <nerdygirl_ellie> Drod:  The "closed captions" are called subtitles, and several dvd applications support them.
[03:07] <soldats> or iwconfig and see if it says anything
[03:07] <fr500> vnieto: 64 bit windows drivers?
[03:07] <mneptok> Drod: i meant to tell you to stop repeating, which i did. :)
[03:07] <ryan__> Can any one help me with Desklets/screenlets?
[03:07] <SeaPhor> no scan results
[03:07] <Drod> nerdygirl_ellie, thanks, but why is that on tv I can hit CC and they appear, but they do not appear as sutbitles on mplayer or VLC?
[03:07] <vnieto> fr500: I use winxp 64 drivers
[03:07] <nerdygirl_ellie> SeaPhor: does your laptop have a switch that disables the radio?
[03:08] <SeaPhor> desktop
[03:08] <SeaPhor> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61308/
[03:08] <dsync> Ubuntu is based of debian, right?
[03:08] <Drod> mneptok..thanks...I meant to include the question mark only...sorry
[03:08] <fr500> vnieto: http://www.ubuntu-es.org/index.php?q=node/77521 spanish though
[03:08] <calugor> /usr/bin/gdm
[03:08] <calugor> there is none
[03:09] <Noratetsu> is ubuntu based of debian?
[03:09] <subsume> Let's say I removed myself from /etc/passwd for my own fun
[03:09] <nerdygirl_ellie> Drod: It's complex.  Closed captions are transmitted in band with a television signal, and are intended to allow hearing impaired users to enjoy tv.  Subtitles are embedded in a DVD in a different way and have a lot more capabilities.  If I remember correctly, VLC has an option for subtitles.
[03:09] <Jack_Sparrow> dsync, debian derivative.. yes.. but very diiferent at the same time...
[03:09] <calugor> do you know why KDE is slow ?
[03:09] <Jack_Sparrow> !debian
[03:09] <ubotu> Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu!
[03:09] <calugor> and consumes too much ram!
[03:09] <vnieto> fr500Let me try again
[03:09] <subsume> Let's say I removed myself from /etc/passwd for my own fun and I need to add myself back in. what to do?
[03:10] <vnieto> but this is 5006 driver, not 5007
[03:10] <wuxia> I want to use /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeMono.ttf
[03:10] <wuxia> I want to use /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeMono.ttf for my font for xterm/rxvt via 'rxvt -fn' ... how do I do that?
[03:10] <Drod> nerdygirl_ellie, thanks...I thought there should be a difference, on VLC and other players even in Windows, they accept subtitles but for the DVD I am playing there is none available....arent the closed captions somewhere on the DVD? only a tv has a decoder?
[03:11] <nerdygirl_ellie> SeaPhor: the lshw just shows you that you can configure the interface.  If you can't scan for networks, it isn't working.  You can try another version of ndiswrapper, but it may just not work for you.
[03:11] <mrpoundsign> Drod: on a DVD they are typically called subtitles.
[03:11] <nerdygirl_ellie> Drod: no.  Closed captions can only be embedded in an analog signal.  If your DVD doesn't have subtitles, they just aren't there.
[03:12] <nerdygirl_ellie> Drod: A lot of my old black and white dvd's don't  have any subtitles.
[03:12] <mneptok> nerdygirl_ellie: Totem will display subtitles with a .txt extensions in the same dir as the movie and with the same named prefix
[03:12] <nerdygirl_ellie> Drod: but they were only $1, so I'm not complaining.
[03:13] <Drod> nerdygirl_ellie: thanks, I learnt something today.....I am just trying to wash some english detective shows and the accent is tough for me...
[03:13] <SeaPhor> nerdygirl_ellie, ok,,, i even put in 'wpa_passphrase linksys_SES_30119 83da16hb19634721'
[03:13] <nerdygirl_ellie> Drod: LOL..  Is it Inspector cruseau(sp).. wait, he is french, nevermind.
[03:13] <Drod> nerdygril_ellie, I guess that if I have an analog converter connected to the laptop and get the TV signal in, I would be able to get the closed captios...
[03:13] <Drod> nerdygirl_ellie...very close, Detective Lynley
[03:15] <Drod> nerdygirl_ellie...thanks...back to guess the words ...hopefully I can learn fast...
[03:15] <SeaPhor> I can see the meter bar showing signal strength,,, has to be seeing something??
[03:15] <ronandi> Jack_Sparrow: I just reboot my computer, and the sound works now.. thx tho
[03:15] <nerdygirl_ellie> SeaPhor: nope, not going to happen.  if it can't scan, then something is broken in communication with the wireless nic.    Some people have had success trying newer versions of ndiswrapper, but that means compiling from source, and very quickly moves out of the realm of irc-ability.
[03:15] <nerdygirl_ellie> SeaPhor: one sec...
[03:16] <nerdygirl_ellie> SeaPhor: if you run iwconfig, what interfaces does it list?
[03:16] <nerdygirl_ellie> SeaPhor: l0, eth0, and....?
[03:16] <_2> hmmm what package provides iwconfig ?
[03:17] <nerdygirl_ellie> 0_o

[03:20] <Dam778> Hello I am new to ubuntu and was just wondering if there is any way to speed it up...I am using a pentium II 400 mhz with 380mbs of ram.
[03:21] <_2> nerdygirl_ellie thank you.
[03:21] <Dam778> My motherboard does not accept any more ram...
[03:21] <nerdygirl_ellie> Dam778: Hi! Welcome to ubuntu.  Xubuntu is a "light" version of ubuntu with the xfce window manager, and will help some.
[03:22] <_2> Dam778 also not running un-needed services helps.
[03:22] <Dam778> Thank you ellie.
[03:22] <SeaPhor> did you see the iwlist?
[03:22] <nerdygirl_ellie> Dam778: what do you want to use it for?
[03:22] <soldats> dan_: you may optionally use a different window manager such as twm, dwm, fluxbox, enlightenment, fvwm or others to reduce the clutter on slower systems
[03:23] <Dam778> Internet word proccessing and some photo editing.
[03:23] <Dam778> very minor photo editing as I am limited by speed.
[03:23] <vniet1> Vnieto
[03:24] <soldats> Dam778: id suggest running fluxbox or enlightenment as they both are very fast and will run whatever you want
[03:24] <vniet1> thank for the help
[03:24] <nerdygirl_ellie> Dam778: abiword is a lighter word processor than openoffice, and Opera is lighter than firefox.  Gimp is the photo editing ap, and it will be slow.
[03:24] <vniet1> reale help me
[03:24] <_2> Dam778 yeah fluxbox/blackbox  or even kde if you trim the fat...
[03:24] <thedefender> is the compiz icon in the gutsy repos?
[03:24] <SeaPhor> nerdygirl_ellie: did you see the iwconfig?
[03:24] <Dam778> whats fluxbox and enlightenment?
[03:25] <nerdygirl_ellie> SeaPhor: I did see it, but I don't see any way I can help.  iwlist has always worked for my wireless nic's, so it is outside of my experience.
[03:25] <_2> Dam778 window managers       like gnome.
[03:25] <Dam778> OK thanks
[03:25] <nonewmsgs> da778 xubuntu will definitely speed things up, but i would really recomend a faster linux like puppy and damn small linux.   they are both wonderful
[03:25] <soldats> Dam778: google them the homepages will show up, they are bloth very lightweight window managewrs that use very little memory and CPU, so your computer should be pretty quick
[03:25] <Dam778> Do I have to reinstall everything?
[03:26] <soldats> Dam778: if you use enlightewnment or fluxbox no
[03:26] <_2> Dam778 no.   just add what you want.
[03:26] <bullgard4> [GNOME] English help wanted. What is the English name of the 'alsa-utils' service in System > Preferences > Services ?
[03:26] <Dam778> Ok
[03:26] <nonewmsgs> dam778 also epiphany-browser is excellant and very light
[03:26] <nonewmsgs> dam778 sudo-apt get install xubuntu-desktop
[03:26] <nerdygirl_ellie> Dam778: They are window managers, the "engines" that let you move windows around on the screen.  for a person that is new to linux, the variety of options are overwhelming.  It isn't like windows, there are thousands of options you can try.  If I were me, I would stick with what you have now for at least a week or two so you can get used to the basics.  Then we can work through speeding it up some
[03:27] <soldats> Dam778: if you wish its a very small learning curver bbut will hel p you out a lot
[03:27] <_2> nonewmsgs move dash --->
[03:27] <SeaPhor> nerdygirl_ellie: well i want to thank you for trying, i'm new to all this and haven't been getting much help, but you have at least tried, and I am grateful

[03:30] <bullgard4> _2: It does not depend.
[03:30] <crdlb> _2: because it currently uses firefox's rendering engine

[03:44] <rouwenpi> at-cache search will give me the same answers right ?
[03:44] <rouwenpi> apt
[03:44] <encryptz> rouwenpi: sure
[03:45] <_2> Intro5pect   sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf      find the "Section" that defines your vidio card and on the line "Driver <something>"  change the something to "vesa"  save exit and try it.
[03:45] <rouwenpi> must be something else

[03:46] <JDSBlueDevl> ok, I think I found where the sound problem is.  movie-to-dvd is saying it's playing sound at >100% to compensate for frames.  Is there a way to slow both down?
[03:46] <Intro5pect> thanks for the suggestion _2
[03:46] <phire42> Stupid quick question, the command for deleting a file
[03:46] <rouwenpi> unlink
[03:46] <rouwenpi> oups
[03:46] <rouwenpi> lol not php here
[03:47] <rouwenpi> maybe rm
[03:47] <rouwenpi> http://rouwenpi.pastebin.com/m6a8776bd no one for this one ?
[03:47] <_2> Intro5pect alternatively you can use the package manager to reconfigure the package thus    "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg"    and answer all questions correctly.
[03:48] <seamus7> phire42: rm

[03:53] <_2> howto make an xorg safety net, for the "i have to have a GUI" type.    while you have a working gui... 'cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/'    then if something hoses the config file in etc "startx" will still get you a working GUI.   i might also sujest changing the driver to "vesa" in the ~/xorg.conf file.

[03:54] <bullgard4> [GNOME] English help wanted. What is the English name of the 'alsa-utils' service in System > Preferences > Services ?
[03:54] <pjotr> http://mightylegends.zapto.org/dvd/dvdauthor_howto.php
[03:56] <Mecubus> NFS prob. When I export a directory that is mounted on the server, the client and the server doesn't see files/dirs in that directory. Ex. /export/ is exported. /export/mount (/dev/hdc1). I can create a dir called "1" on both the server and the client in /export/mount without complaining about duplicates. This only happens when the folder is mounted.
[03:56] <seamus7> bullgard4: that's in System / Admin / Services / 'Audio settings management' (alsa-utils)

[03:59] <_2> hmmm i have 80g 20g and 13g drives   i'm trying to decide how to put them to use.   i'm thinking 13g for the system (bloat i know) and 80g for /usr/local/ with 20g /$HOME/     but that doesn't leave a backup...    maybe use the 20g for system and 13g for backup ?

[04:00] <SAIDias> can someone help me and take a look at a shell script.  I need some scripting help 101.  http://pastebin.com/m1ce76228    I am trying todo a if statement inside of a case statement.  does this look corrent?
[04:00] <vee_> is it not possible to run nautilus over SSH... i get this message (gksudo:13212): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
[04:00] <brock>  my update manager says im missing dependeencies  and software index is broken
[04:00] <JDSBlueDevl> pjotr: is transcode better than videotrans?
[04:00] <brock> how do i solve this
[04:00] <phire42> _2. I removed an older version of ndiswrapper and installed a newer version and it allowed me to "make" it.
[04:00] <encryptz> SAIDias: #bash would probably be of better help
[04:00] <Hirvinen_> vee_: did you remember to give ssh the option -X ?
[04:01] <vee_> no
[04:01] <vee_> I dont know how to do that Hirvinen_
[04:01] <encryptz> brock: sudo apt-get install -f
[04:01] <Hirvinen_> vee_: ssh -X user@target
[04:01] <pjotr> JDSBlueDevl: don't know, never used videotrans, but those instructions have worked
[04:01] <vee_> lemme give it a try... thanx... brb
[04:01] <bullgard4> seamus7: Yes, I made a mistake. You are correct: It is in System > Admin > Services. --  Thank you very much for your help.
[04:02] <_2> SAIDias i'm looking at the portion of script you posted,  but; what exactly is it erroring ?
[04:02] <cameo351> when you do sudo apt-get install do you do that before you download a package or ?
[04:02] <Hirvinen_> vee_: See man ssh for more options. e.g. -C (compression) might be useful when using graphical applications over a slow link.
[04:02] <brock> encryptz   it says  E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[04:03] <vee_> Hirvinen_ I get the same error
[04:03] <encryptz> brock: so, did you run dpkg --configure -a
[04:03] <encryptz> ?
[04:03] <vee_> Hirvinen_ the server is right next to me... hehehe
[04:03] <brock> encryptz    do i  just type that in terminal
[04:03] <brock> ?
[04:03] <encryptz> yes

[04:06] <brock>     but then it stops there
[04:06] <Hirvinen_> vee_: or gksu nautilus?
[04:06] <incugus> ive been trying to get the subtitles to show correctly in VLC , but they dont. the appear randomly. some lines appear some done
[04:06] <_2> LadyNikon xfe - lightweight file manager for X11
[04:06] <incugus> *dont
[04:07] <vee_> Hirvinen_  if I type $ nautilus     it tells me to see the manual
[04:07] <Johnson> anyone switched the mapping of cntrl and cap lock and found it to be better
[04:07] <Ttech> erm
[04:07] <Ttech> why was there someone who mesages me "feredahock> ##Linux , #Archlinux & #ubuntu : friendly atmosphere. Nice chatters and ops required."
[04:07] <Hirvinen_> vee_: Doesn't it give any reason for that?
[04:07] <_2> LadyNikon i kinda like  xfm - X file and application manager
[04:07] <vee_> Hirvinen_  when I use $ gksu nautilus I get: (gksu:13300): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
[04:07] <LadyNikon> Ttech: its spam. pay no attention..

[04:08] <Ttech> LadyNikon, good to know
[04:08] <encryptz> brock: did you install this deb file manually, or from the repos?
[04:08] <ZeZu> can you mount a windows software raid volume with LVM ?

[04:08] <Ttech> tritium, err
[04:08] <ZeZu> this is windows managed volume, not one from some half accell. chipset on board
[04:09] <Intro5pect> hey  _2   I fixed it!  not with your exact suggestion but you set me on the right path
[04:09] <_2> LadyNikon when looking for light weight alternatives in the package manager, look for things that are for X rather than for some DE/WM
[04:09] <Intro5pect> if anyone else has dual cards and has the same problem heres a possible solution you can give them...
[04:09] <LadyNikon> _2: i just looked under file manager in synaptic
[04:09] <Hirvinen_> vee_: weird

[04:10] <vee_> Hirvinen_ I am using my terminal app on my osx box to SSH over to my ubuntu 7.10 box
[04:10] <Unxuxu> Is it possible to "move" my existing/installed windows xp partition to a virtualbox?
[04:10] <vee_> Hirvinen_ i have no problem logging in and controlling the ubuntu machine
[04:10] <Intro5pect> use lspci to determine the 2 ports you have cards on, then edit xorg.conf, and find out which bus is chosen, and switch it to whichever other one you see in lspci
[04:10] <_2> LadyNikon hehhe   sudo apt-get install gentoo    :)))

[04:13] <Unxuxu> mneptok: tsc... tsc...

[04:14] <Hirvinen_> vee_: An installation package for X11, which they call their version, can be found on your OS X install dvd in a folder called developer tools or something like that, or from Apple's website.
[04:15] <Hirvinen_> vee_: Yes.
[04:15] <_2> Unxuxu as to whether that perfect copy will run an a different world... i'm with mneptok
