[12:01] <mezziah> if the default filesystem on fedora is not ext3, someone may correct me
[12:01] <citiskyline_> mezziah, how would I geet the partition_device?
[12:01] <Ayarcy> joe4444: Do you have a backup of the Edgy version of the menu.lst file (like you did for /etc/fstab)?  That'd be an easy way to tell.
[12:01] <Bassetts> does anyone know how I can remove the hidden partition on my HDD that is not in fstab from Places>Computer
[12:01] <LinAsH> mezziah, it is
[12:01] <mezziah> citiskyline_: if i know.. you can try /dev/hda1/2/3,..
[12:02] <citiskyline_> ok
[12:02] <joe4444> Ayarcy: no, i didn't back up that file :(  would (sd1,0) be a valid option?
[12:02] <erUSUL> citiskyline_: it depends :) if you are triying to access an ubuntu partition fstype is ext3 (vfat is for fat32 and ntfs for winXP) partition_device is in feisty something like /dev/sda3 or the like
[12:03] <tck> Bassetts, what does mount say, anything showing?
[12:03] <Ayarcy> joe4444: Here's what I suggest.  Listen closely, then reboot.
[12:03] <joe4444> Ayarcy: i think the install of Edgy was smooth b/c i didn't install the IDE hard drive until after installing Edgy
[12:03] <joe4444> k
[12:03] <Bassetts> tck, it is not mounted, it has no mount point, it shows up in Places>Computer as unmounted and if i try and open it i have to enter my pass
[12:03] <Ayarcy> joe4444: When you get the failure, type "e".  That'll let you edit the grub commands you're using to boot.
[12:04] <Ta1> Anybody know how to setup a game controller in Wine?
[12:04] <tck> Bassetts, what type of partition is it, ext3? ntfs? was it mounted before?
[12:04] <Ayarcy> joe4444: The first one is probably the "(hd1,0)" line.  Use "e" again to edit that line.
[12:04] <tobias> Hi.
[12:04] <Bassetts> tck, it is ntfs
[12:04] <Ayarcy> joe4444: Then you can backspace over parts of the line and tab-complete the possible correct answers.
[12:04] <tck> Bassetts, you want to delete it altogether?
[12:04] <Bassetts> tck, since install it has had no mount point as i do not want it to show
[12:04] <Bassetts> tck, no it is my recovery partition
[12:05] <tobias> My user can't acess the partition sda03/ hence the user root only has the rights to it. What should I do?
[12:05] <Ayarcy> joe4444: You should be able to tab-complete for both numbers.  There should be only a small number of combinations to try.
[12:05] <tobias> sda3*
[12:05] <tck> Bassetts, thought so, dell or ibm have that
[12:05] <Ayarcy> joe4444: And if one fails, you can always use the "e" commands again to try something else.
[12:05] <joe4444> Ayarcy: so if i change that line from (hd1,0) to (hd,0) then try tab-complete on "d" it should give me valid choices?
[12:05] <Bassetts> tck, its a lenovo laptop
[12:05] <booyah> ./server <IP_ADDRESS>  OR!  ./server irc.talkingirc.net./server <IP_ADDRESS>  OR!  ./server irc.talkingirc.net./server <IP_ADDRESS>  OR!  ./server irc.talkingirc.net./server <IP_ADDRESS>  OR!  ./server irc.talkingirc.net
[12:05] <booyah> ./server <IP_ADDRESS>  OR!  ./server irc.talkingirc.net./server <IP_ADDRESS>  OR!  ./server irc.talkingirc.net./server <IP_ADDRESS>  OR!  ./server irc.talkingirc.net./server <IP_ADDRESS>  OR!  ./server irc.talkingirc.net
[12:05] <Ayarcy> joe4444: When you get the right line, remember it and come back.
[12:06] <LinAsH> tobias, what is the fs type?
[12:06] <Ayarcy> joe4444: Not quite.
[12:06] <joe4444> Ayarcy: what about (sd1,0) instead of (hd1,0) ?  seems like maybe it's looking at the IDE hdd instead of the SATA hdd
[12:06] <tobias> LinAsH: how do I check that?
[12:06] <Ayarcy> joe4444: I think you have to delete the rest.  So tabbing on "(hd" will give the first numbers.
[12:06] <joe4444> i'll see what i can come up with
[12:06] <Ayarcy> joe4444: I'm not sure there are any "(sd" lines that are valid.
[12:06] <joe4444> thanks
[12:07] <Ayarcy> joe4444: But you can try it.
[12:07] <joe4444> i'll be back... hopefully sooner than later
[12:07] <charleseddy> all:  here to help :D
[12:07] <Ayarcy> joe4444: I say try that.  Hopefully you boot okay and can come back in for the permanent fix.
[12:07] <LinAsH> tobias, it's in /etc/fstab post it on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[12:08] <tck> well Bassetts im not sure, i know you can prob. go into the config editor somehow and do it that way
[12:09] <tck> Bassetts, or even disable the protection for it in the BIOS and just have ubuntu on it
[12:09] <Bassetts> tck, i have looked cant find it
[12:09] <Bassetts> tck, disbale protection? I want to keep the partition
[12:09] <madhatter349> hey
[12:09] <tck> Bassetts, ok ok
[12:09] <tck> Bassetts, give me min, i'll try looking :)
[12:09] <madhatter349> what program should i use for my ipod in linux
[12:10] <BigToe7000> amarok
[12:10] <Bassetts> tck, thanks
[12:10] <tck> mad_goldfis1, gtkpod
[12:10] <PriceChild> !ipod | madhatter349
[12:10] <ubotu> madhatter349: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto See !rockbox for information on liberating your iPod
[12:10] <LinAsH> madhatter349, rhythmbox or amarok work fine
[12:10] <madhatter349> thanks
[12:10] <madhatter349> what about gtkpod
[12:11] <wimpies> anybody here that knows how to verify an mp3 file without playing it ?
[12:12] <tck> Bassetts, Applications -> System Tools -> Configuration Editor -> apps -> nautilus -> desktop and unchecked "volumes_visible"
[12:12] <Gerrit> wimpies: I use mpg321 output to /dev/null
[12:12] <Gerrit> wimpies: mpg321 -s file.mp3 >/dev/null IIRC
[12:12] <wimpies> gerrit : what do you get when you have problems ?
[12:13] <TheVault> What is Wine-Doors?
[12:13] <Ayarcy> joe4444: Good news or bad news?
[12:13] <joe4444> Ayarcy: (hd0,0) worked :)
[12:13] <mezziah> TheVault: it's some frontend for wine.. it installs some applications automatically
[12:13] <Gerrit> wimpies: Error messages, I suppose.
[12:13] <Gerrit> I don't know really.
[12:13] <mezziah> like internet explorer, steam, world of warcraft,..
[12:13] <TheVault> mezziah: Is it worth downloading and using?
[12:13] <wimpies> ok should try this then thx
[12:13] <Gerrit> wimpies: If it can be played but the sound is not correct, then hearing it should be the only way.
[12:13] <Mike_F> Hello: has anyone got Ubuntu running on a Itanium 64 system?
[12:14] <mezziah> TheVault: well i tested it but didnt get everything working
[12:14] <Ayarcy> joe4444: Okay, so at this point you have to do that every boot.  Are you in the Fiesty now (and not the Live CD)?
[12:14] <joe4444> Ayarcy: any idea why the Feisty install would use hd0 per my choice but then configure grub to boot hd1?
[12:14] <mezziah> TheVault: you can take a look on it though
[12:14] <wimpies> well sound is ok but it seems the song just terminates
[12:14] <Bassetts> tck, does that not remove the icon for any removeable media?
[12:14] <TheVault> mezziah: Yeah I watched a video on it and i'm like this looks alot like wine but with a GUI
[12:15] <Ayarcy> joe4444: No, I'm not sure why it does that.  I had a Dapper Server do that to me a week ago.  I just know how to fix it.  :-)
[12:15] <joe4444> Ayarcy: yeah real Feisty not live cd... i just edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to make it permanent?
[12:15] <Bassetts> tck, the volume is still in Places>Computer
[12:15] <Ayarcy> joe4444: Not quite.  That won't persist across kernel upgrades.
[12:15] <tck> well yes, but you can always create a new icon launcher for dvd  etc.. on desktop
[12:15] <tck> right click on desktop etc..
[12:15] <mezziah> TheVault: yes, at present it's nothing more than a gui for wine, it's just a 0.1pre.. i didn't expect much and well, it worked as expected
[12:15] <Ayarcy> joe4444: Open the file in an editor.  I assume it has "(hd1,0)" all over it?
[12:15] <crater> hi
[12:16] <TheVault> mezziah: Oh I see. Thanks for the help, I'll keep tabs on this program though :D
[12:16] <jrib> tck: ext3 doesn't keep track of creation time
[12:16] <crater> is this a helproom about ubuntu??
[12:16] <joe4444> Ayarcy: yeah... # groot=(hd1,0)     ...and the 3 menu options
[12:16] <mezziah> crater: yes, it is
[12:16] <ChrisNor> ok
[12:16] <jrib> crater: yep! just ask your question
[12:16] <ChrisNor> hi
[12:17] <TheVault> crater: Yuppers, been helped alotta times here with my questions :D
[12:17] <wlfR> LinAsH, vill I be able to update the album art to kind of scan?
[12:17] <crater> fantastic folk
[12:17] <tck> jrib, so when running a command to find files older than 7 days
[12:17] <tck> it doesn't work at all?
[12:17] <tck> or does it use modify/access time
[12:17] <Ayarcy> joe4444: Right, that's the trick.  You need to change that line (that looks like a comment), not the stuff below.
[12:17] <jrib> tck: it uses what you tell it to :)
[12:17] <LinAsH> wlfR, not in Rhythmbox, amarok can do it though
[12:18] <Ayarcy> joe4444: Then you run (as root) update-grub and look at the file again.
[12:18] <jrib> tck: http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/ctime_atime_mtime.html
[12:18] <tck> jrib, but for arguments sake, i create a file today and i want to change it so it was created 7 days ago
[12:18] <tck> is it possible?
[12:18] <wlfR> LinAsH, what are you using because I didn't work for me with amarok either
[12:18] <wlfR> and i couldn't copy cd's with amarok
[12:18] <Ayarcy> joe4444: That file is auto-generated by update-grub based on the line "# groot="
[12:18] <jrib> tck: you can't change the creation time because that information isn't stored
[12:19] <tck> jrib, i read that, but i thought some clever people in here might know a trick ;)
[12:19] <Ayarcy> joe4444: Well, based on other lines too, but that's the one we're talking about.  :-)
[12:19] <LinAsH> wlfR, well I just don't care very much about cover, since I usually not looking at it when listening ;)
[12:20] <joe4444> Ayarcy: i see, got it updated now... so for future reference, i can avoid this problem as long as there is only 1 hdd during installation?
[12:20] <tck> jrib, so i guess using the find command with +mtime +7 uses ctime attributes on wether its 7 days old :/
[12:20] <ihateusernames> hi
[12:20] <tck> jrib, shit i meant +mtime +mtime
[12:20] <jrib> tck: well that checks the last time it was modified
[12:20] <tck> ok
[12:20] <crater> is there some help in spanish?
[12:20] <Ayarcy> joe4444: Not necessarily (and you aren't done yet).  I had one hd, but I partitioned it weird.  Mine defaulted to "(hd0,0)" but I needed "(hd0,2)"
[12:20] <jrib> crater: /join #ubuntu-es
[12:20] <TaJMoX> !sp | crater
[12:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sp - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:20] <crater> about ubuntu i mean
[12:21] <TaJMoX> !es
[12:21] <ubotu> Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[12:21] <wlfR> LinAsH, that's true but it's nice when I'm gonna use it as a music station!
[12:21] <bronze-> Why can't I sit on teamspeak and listen to XMMS at the same time! "Sound card blocked"
[12:21] <wlfR> and rythmbox has "party mode"
[12:21] <joe4444> Ayarcy: ok, but as long as i don't do any manual partitioning it shouldn't cause any issues?
[12:21] <TheVault> Another quick question. Is there a manager or something so you can change the default icon that comes with Ubuntu. That orange logo that when you click, you get a menu. Yes, I already went to the usual location or where its suppose to be and replace it but that don't work or is not working.
[12:22] <LinAsH> wlfR, I think amarok automatically use the cover.jpg file inside an album folder
[12:22] <Ayarcy> joe4444: The last step is to install grub into the mbr using the new config.  Use "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" (or whatever device you boot from).
[12:22] <wlfR> no it's folder.jpg? but I don't want to download them myself :P
[12:22] <bronze-> Why can't I sit on teamspeak and listen to XMMS at the same time! "Sound card blocked"
[12:22] <ihateusernames> when i insert a CD in my drive, it reads it, but 2 min later, it doesnt recognize, No media in drive, and i need to restart for it to read again, are there any known problems for this?
[12:22] <crater> thank you folk
[12:22] <crater> i found it
[12:22] <Ayarcy> joe4444: I think that's true, yes.  But I can't confirm it, really.  Just seems that way.
[12:22] <feathers> Hey guys, what do I need to install in order to have the db command?
[12:22] <crater> wwoowwwwwwwwww
[12:22] <feathers> I need to create a db file
[12:22] <crater> thanks and bye
[12:23] <Ayarcy> joe4444: And then you might want to reboot to try it out.
[12:23] <tck> ihateusernames, check cd for errors (also try burning disk at slower speed) do other cd's have this issue
[12:23] <jellington> Hi Everyone, I used synaptic to install the jdk and netbeans but I can't seem to figure out where the class path is set? does anyone know where I should dump extra classes so that I can develop with them with ubuntu installed this way?
[12:23] <ihateusernames> yea, i tried 2 CDs
[12:23] <lo4fer> i have a proprietary cable modem/wireless router from my isp that only assigns 5 ips through DHCP: <IP_ADDRESS> through <IP_ADDRESS> is there any way that 1) I can reconfigure it to assign more IPs (I've searched high and low in the menus but can't find any such option, so I'm thinking not) and 2) assuming that I cannot, is it possible for me to assign a machine a static ip outside the DHCP range, for example <IP_ADDRESS>, and have it be a
[12:23] <ihateusernames> the CD's are burned on the same drive just in Windows
[12:23] <tck> ihateusernames, theres an option when you boot with ubuntu cd to check for defects
[12:23] <Ayarcy> joe4444: If that doesn't work, maybe your BIOS is set to try to boot from the IDE drive, so you might need to do "sudo grub-install /dev/hda" or whatever that device is.
[12:23] <joe4444> Ayarcy: this doesn't seem right...
[12:23] <tck> let it run - see what happens
[12:24] <Ayarcy> joe4444: What doesn't?
[12:24] <Iradigalesc> anyone have a Lexmark P4350 working in Ubuntu?
[12:24] <joe4444> http://rafb.net/p/H0Yz9G39.html
[12:24] <tck> ihateusernames, yeah Ayarcy has a good point there
[12:25] <ihateusernames> hold on, I dont need to boot fromt he CD
[12:25] <joe4444> Ayarcy: when i switched from (hd1,0) to (hd0,0) it worked b/c feisty was installed to my SATA drive, so that must mean the SATA drive is hd0 and the IDE drive is hd1, right?  now this tells me the opposite
[12:25] <tck> Iradigalesc, Lexmark doesn't make a driver for the P4350 - try http://linuxprinting.org/
[12:25] <Keanu> Hello? Can someone give me support please? ^^
[12:25] <ihateusernames> Linux is already installed
[12:25] <mon^rch> am wondering if anyone can help me get "vkeybd" working properly... for some reason it doesn't output sound. any ideas?
[12:25] <ihateusernames> just normal CD's with songs and files wont read
[12:25] <Keanu> Can I go into PM with someone please?
[12:25] <BrianG> anyone know why Quod Libet won't run? i get an error "ImportError: No module named formats/oggvorbis"
[12:25] <Ayarcy> joe4444: What tells you the opposite?
[12:25] <tck> ihateusernames, ahh have no idea mate
[12:26] <LinAsH> Keanu, just ask your question here
[12:26] <Keanu> Ah okay.
[12:26] <joe4444> Ayarcy: that paste is the output from sudo grub-install /dev/sda
[12:26] <Keanu> Well, iv just installed Linux ubuntu server
[12:26] <Keanu> And my friend gave me a lil code to type in
[12:26] <jrib> !enter | Keanu
[12:26] <ubotu> Keanu: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[12:26] <Keanu> Sorry
[12:26] <Ayarcy> joe4444: Oh, I see.
[12:27] <blackest> does anyone know how to configure make so it picks up the includes for the current kernel
[12:27] <Keanu> I just installed linux ubuntu server, and my friend gave me a lil code to type in. To like.. Create a gui?... But iv forgotten the code to type in. Can anyone tell me it?
[12:27] <mon^rch> Keanu: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[12:27] <jrib> Keanu: do you want a full GNOME desktop?
[12:27] <Keanu> Thank you! <3
[12:28] <Keanu> Thats the code! <3
[12:28] <tck> Keanu startx
[12:28] <Keanu> Thank you very much.
[12:28] <Ayarcy> joe4444: Hmm..  You're right that it doesn't seem to make sense.  If it were me, I'd install grub to both drives with the current config and try rebooting.  Maybe we're just missing something.
[12:28] <Iradigalesc> is it very difficult to configure apache and allow access to everyone from the Internet?
[12:28] <TheVault> I wanna be able to change the start menu icon, the default orange one. Iv done what everyone has currently said and go to the /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/ and replace the distributor-logo.png with the image I want and then refresh the panel. I did that. Then I was told to go where the themes are and go into the current theme Im currently use and find it in there. Iv tried everything but it won't let me change the start menu icon
[12:28] <TheVault> and I really want to change it to complete my theme
[12:28] <Keanu> :3 Thank you all!
[12:29] <joe4444> Ayarcy: i think i'll just disable the IDE drive in my BIOS and try to install Feisty on the SATA drive again... then hopefully i can just enable the IDE and it will work right away like it did when i first added it
[12:29] <LinAsH> Iradigalesc, it's the default behavior
[12:29] <tck> TheVault, right click on start menu icon and click edit
[12:29] <tck> may work
[12:29] <CNTRLX> Hello
[12:29] <TheVault> tck: I'll be able to change the orange icon from there?
[12:29] <mon^rch> am wondering if anyone can help me get "vkeybd" working properly... for some reason it doesn't output sound. any ideas?
[12:29] <tck> TheVault, not sure, at least eliminate that option
[12:29] <Ayarcy> joe4444: Your call, of course.  But IMO you're very close to having it working.
[12:29] <Keanu> Thanks agian
[12:29] <Keanu> Bye all!
[12:30] <TheVault> tck: Lol thats funny
[12:30] <robdeman> oh man
[12:30] <robdeman> my Fiesty installation is falling apart
[12:30] <Iradigalesc> LinAsH: And at which page I need to go to access it?
[12:30] <TheVault> tck: Nope nothing under there
[12:30] <LinAsH> Iradigalesc, the web repository is /var/www
[12:30] <robdeman> first for some random reason my soundcard stopped being detected.. this caused Gnome to crash after loggin in... now my MySql server is dead...
[12:30] <tck> TheVault, are you sure it can be changed?
[12:31] <CNTRLX> when burning a debian cd with k3b that is 890mb do i burn it with TAO?
[12:31] <robdeman> I haven't had any similar problems ever so far with Edgy or Fedora Core 6
[12:31] <snake> what can i use to convert avi to mpeg
[12:31] <tck> TheVault, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2841579
[12:31] <TheVault> tck: Yes, Iv seen many many many screenshots and people have it changed. Like some people have the Mac OS X look going on, so I see the blue apple. Iv seen some people with the Windows Vista Theme(which I'm almost complete with doing) and they have the Windows Vista orb there
[12:32] <joe4444> Ayarcy: probably, but since it only takes 15 minutes or so i'd rather start with a fresh install that works the first time... if you don't see me again, then it worked as expected this time :)
[12:32] <joe4444> thanks again
[12:32] <Iradigalesc> LinAsH: Yes, at /var/www I store the files and I access to http://localhost to see them. But if I go to an other computer on the Internet, I can't access to the files of my computer
[12:32] <TheVault> tck: Yup, iv been to that one as well and nothing works
[12:32] <tck> TheVault, install M$ :P
[12:32] <Ayarcy> joe4444: Glad to help.
[12:32] <LinAsH> Iradigalesc, it's a router issue, not apache configuration
[12:32] <TheVault> tck: M$?
[12:33] <calc> Iradigalesc: two things to do, make sure if you are behind a NAT router to port forward for http
[12:33] <tck> microsoft - just a little joke
[12:33] <[GuS] > Hi people, i have one problem... i use apache2 with suexec, and then installed mailman and seems does not work with suexec, cause is not on default suexec docroot.. how i could solve this?
[12:33] <calc> Iradigalesc: second thing is to make sure that your isp doesn't block inbound http traffic
[12:33] <calc> Iradigalesc: many do
[12:33] <LinAsH> Iradigalesc, you may need services like dyndns or no-ip.org to redirect a domain name to your machine
[12:33] <snake> anyone knows what can i use to convert avi to mpeg ???????????
[12:33] <lbawinowns> Hello guys, can someone forward a  minor complaint, if I drag and drop a folder to the recycle bin. can't you just place the file/folder in the recycle bin instead of deleteing it
[12:33] <TheVault> tck: Oh. I already do, have it on Dual boot. I'm just making things the nice vista look with the power of Beryl at my finger tips

[12:34] <EnsignRedshirt> Hola, mundo!  I want to add an external hard drive to fstab, so it always mounts at /media/usbhd.  Here is what I think I should do: (1) use blkid to get the uuid; (2) create the mount point /media/usbhd; (3) add the entry to fstab (basically by copying an existing example and changing the appropriate data).  Will this work?
[12:34] <Iradigalesc> OK, thanks!
[12:35] <lbawinowns> snake - check this site out http://vixy.net/, warning that I've never ever used it, no idea if it is good or malicious... Some guys said it was good though
[12:35] <madgoldfish> snake: ffmpeg if you're happy with command line. I think the mplayer package has some convertors in it too IIRC

[12:40] <sorsis> mezziah: ty
[12:40] <lbawinowns> lol srry, it DOES work
[12:40] <joetheodd> Is there a easy to use POP3 / SMTP server on the repositories?
[12:40] <LinAsH> CNTRLX, but is it really 890 mB? pretty big...
[12:40] <lbawinowns> i just always had mixed up backspace with space ...
[12:40] <david_> can anyone tell me a good "mac like" dock for ubuntu? ive tried some but had no luck

[12:41] <mezziah> david_: well, you can try gdesklets
[12:41] <PriceChild> david_, "mac like"? describe what you want it to do for the people here who haven't used a mac
[12:41] <mezziah> david_: theres a cool one
[12:41] <david_> does it work with beryl?
[12:41] <LinAsH> CNTRLX, you burn it on a dvd?
[12:41] <madgoldfish> david_: Tried Engage?

[12:41] <mezziah> don't know, never used it in combination with beryl.. just try it
[12:41] <david_> look like a mac dock thats  it
[12:41] <EnsignRedshirt> jrib: Thanks--just wanted a sanity check.
[12:41] <DR0P> Ubuntu sucks!   It is a program that lets you run a windows program in linux.  If you have a windows program, say coolprog.exe, you can run it with the command "wine coolprog.exe".  (but not all programs will actually work).
[12:45] <unagi> ty redshirt
[12:45] <magnetron> madhatter349: did you buy the music from the iTunes store?
[12:46] <unagi> so you cant run say a windows game with wine?
[12:46] <madhatter349> no
[12:46] <lbawinowns> EnsignRedshirt explained it excellently
[12:46] <mezziah> unagi you can try some games but don't expect them to work
[12:46] <magnetron> unagi: some games, see appdb.winehq.org
[12:46] <lbawinowns> unagi - Yea you can, some of them

[12:47] <unagi> i mean its not a big deal

[01:00] <sorsis> unagi: to change that key
[01:00] <mezziah> umm
[01:00] <boubbin> i have corrupted files on my system and i would like to remove them, how to do this, when my system tells me it cant remove them ?
[01:00] <rich__> noway-,  what kind amedia player u use
[01:00] <unagi> ah there it is
[01:00] <unagi> thank u
[01:00] <lbawinowns> frank__  tried that first message that ubotu wrote when i typed !fat ?
[01:00] <frank__> yes
[01:00] <noway-> rich__, rythim box, but I have tried under different players also
[01:00] <frank__> i assume the partition is broken
[01:01] <frank__> or the mft because in dmesg stands something like superblock is broken
[01:01] <noway-> rich__, ever since my nephew hit some keys, the sound has been horrible.  Like its set to head phones or something.

[01:05] <Xsylotte> jrib: does R support amd64 ?
[01:06] <jrib> Xsylotte: yes
[01:06] <Xsylotte> hmm
[01:06] <Xsylotte> why i can't see amd64 packages :(
[01:06] <noway-> rich__, thanks, I will keep looking
[01:06] <jrib> !info r-base
[01:06] <ubotu> r-base: GNU R statistical computing language and environment. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.4.1-1 (feisty), package size 23 kB, installed size 56 kB
[01:06] <Jordan_U_> VERTiG0, If you want to go to a channel that is less crowded, that is what #ubuntu-classroom is for, it's better to ask in a channel where more people can see your question and help.
[01:06] <jrib> !universe > Xsylotte (see the private message from ubotu)
[01:06] <VERTiG0> but isn't this channel for help?
[01:07] <shiftplusone> Hey, can someone tell me how to check if something is running? (in a script)
[01:08] <mezziah> Jordan_U: are there more channels like that? like for smalltalk?
[01:08] <unagi> is there a way to get linux to automatically play a dvd when u double click the icon?
[01:08] <avb> vb
[01:08] <eX|Joe> anyone wanna answer my question?
[01:08] <eX|Joe> you get super cool points if you do
[01:08] <noway-> rich__, I found it!  I had to right click on the volume control, and change the PCM volume.
[01:08] <avb> hi all
[01:08] <blue|palm> !apt-crash
[01:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about apt-crash - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:08] <blue|palm> !apt-fix
[01:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about apt-fix - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:08] <avb> guys, may anybody knows why pidgin is still 2.0 while 2.0.2 is already out?
[01:09] <blue|palm> avb, ubuntu repositories always delayed
[01:09] <blue|palm> avb, go to www.getdeb.net
[01:09] <eX|Joe> avb, its for stability purposes
[01:09] <eX|Joe> i suggest you keep the version you have until it is updated
[01:09] <blue|palm> eX|Joe, with all due respect, that argument is void :D the upgrade to pidgin fixes stability issues, why is it not included then?
[01:09] <znoG> hey
[01:09] <EnsignRedshirt> Is there a wiki page that explains Ubuntu's update policy? If not, there should be.  Seems like everyone eventually asks that question.
[01:10] <znoG> anyone know how to load keyboard layouts into Ubuntu?
[01:10] <avb> blue|palm: is this deb works fine with a plugins from gutsy repo?
[01:10] <unagi> !mouse themes
[01:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mouse themes - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:10] <jrib> EnsignRedshirt: !timebasedreleases
[01:10] <psilocyde> is this ubuntu help channel
[01:10] <TaJMoX> unagi - try http://www.gnome-look.org
[01:10] <psilocyde> ?
[01:10] <blue|palm> avb, hmm only update if you reaaaallly need to (which you prob dont)
[01:10] <jrib> psilocyde: yes, welcome
[01:10] <blue|palm> avb, try it and see
[01:10] <psilocyde> cool
[01:10] <znoG> when I go to regional settings, it doesn't list any keyboard layouts for other languages
[01:10] <unagi> ty
[01:10] <blue|palm> !apt
[01:10] <ubotu> APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[01:10] <eX|Joe> blue|palm, I understand your argument, but you just proved mine :D
[01:11] <avb> eX|Joe: :) any new release is better then 2.0. 2.0 is killing me :)
[01:11] <unagi> i love the linux community everyone is so helpful
[01:11] <blue|palm> eX|Joe, lol
[01:11] <psilocyde> im getting an error when trying to do updates
[01:11] <EnsignRedshirt> !timebasedreleases > EnsignRedshirt
[01:11] <blue|palm> avb, then go to www.getdeb.net
[01:11] <modconfig> just a little annoyance: why is it that when you start the computer and begin to log in, the first key pressed (even after clicking inside the login box) turns off num lock, and doesn't display the key pressed? it happens with ubuntu 7.04 and kubuntu 7.04? is there a fix?
[01:11] <avb> msn always crashing
[01:11] <psilocyde> i get "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. "
[01:11] <avb> :(
[01:11] <eX|Joe> avb, thats why.  its microsoft.
[01:11] <tck> avb, amsn?
[01:11] <jrib> psilocyde: did you try running 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'?
[01:11] <avb> 2-4 times a day
[01:11] <eX|Joe> avb, use tck's recommendation
[01:11] <TaJMoX> psilocyde : run that command in a terminal, preceding with sudo.   if that doesnt work go into synaptic, click filters, and find broken packages and repair them
[01:11] <psilocyde> i dont know how sorry
[01:11] <EnsignRedshirt> jrib: That short blurb doesn't really explain the no-updates policy.
[01:11] <eX|Joe> i need help with grub.  I'm doing a dual boot windows xp / ubuntu.  I installed XP first, followed by Ubuntu.  XP is on SATA (hd0) and XP is on IDE (hd1).  When I start grub to xp it does "Starting Up" and stays there...  Does not ever truely boot.
[01:11] <blue|palm> how do you unlock apt after it has crashed?
[01:12] <znoG> anyone know how to load keyboard layouts (for other languages) into Ubuntu?
[01:12] <eX|Joe> blue|palm restart?
[01:12] <psilocyde> ok
[01:12] <some_dude> hi
[01:12] <some_dude> how do I install java ?
[01:12] <jrib> EnsignRedshirt: the last link should, or were you referring to that?
[01:12] <avb> eX|Joe: :) I know, but nothing to do with this
[01:12] <TaJMoX> psilocyde : Accessories -> Terminal     then enter this command: sudo dpkg --configure -a
[01:12] <jrib> !java > some_dude (see the private message from ubotu)
[01:12] <blue|palm> eX|Joe, there is a fix...

[01:12] <eX|Joe> DiamondsOfH, I did
[01:12] <Xsylotte> and too tired tonight.
[01:13] <unagi> is there a better dock than kiba?
[01:13] <mikessilo> !ask
[01:13] <TaJMoX> unagi - I use gdesklets and love it
[01:13] <unagi> is it buggy?
[01:13] <bur[n] er_> unagi: awn
[01:13] <blue|palm> !aptfix
[01:13] <ubotu> If Adept crashed on you and your database is locked, try this in konsole:  sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a

[01:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about awn - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:13] <some_dude> ok, now I dumped the java folder into /usr, do I need to remove it ?

[01:13] <ubotu> gDesklets provides an advanced architecture for desktop applets -- tiny displays sitting on your desktop in a symbiotic relationship of eye candy and usefulness. Homepage is http://gdesklets.gnomedesktop.org/
[01:13] <jrib> EnsignRedshirt: see !sru too
[01:13] <TaJMoX> unagi - its not buggy and it doesn't stay on top of all programs like kiba does
[01:14] <VERTiG0> oh jesus hell.  it was a bad network cable all along.
[01:14] <Jordan_U__> unagi, Avant-window-navigator is nice
[01:14] <jrib> some_dude: yes, that is not the right way
[01:14] <modconfig> does anyone else have that issue with the num lock going off when a key is pressed when trying to log in?
[01:14] <unagi> !avant-window-navigator
[01:14] <mikessilo> need to talk to someone about a controller error
[01:14] <unagi> i guess imt rying to get it as smooth and as close to osx dock as possible
[01:14] <jrib> mikessilo: ask your question to the channel
[01:14] <mikessilo> i dont know how to word it
[01:14] <some_dude> how do i remove it ?
[01:14] <Xsylotte> jrib: tomorrow maybe...nn.
[01:14] <Xsylotte> and thx
[01:15] <TaJMoX> unage - try apt-cache search avant   in a terminal
[01:15] <noodles12> if i'm installing ubuntu and putting / and /home on different partitions. how big should / be?
[01:15] <bur[n] er_> unagi: http://awn.wetpaint.com/page/Ubuntu+Feisty+Repository?t=anon
[01:15] <Jordan_U__> TaJMoX, I don't think it's in the repos :(
[01:15] <mikessilo> we cant get ubuntu to install be of the error i2o:1op0 could not load controller
[01:15] <N0xTrUm> hello
[01:15] <TaJMoX> unagi - or apt-cache search gdesklets
[01:15] <modconfig> noodles12, i recommend 2 gig
[01:15] <TaJMoX> ah
[01:15] <LinAsH> noodles12, about 10-12 GB
[01:15] <EnsignRedshirt> jrib: OK, I took a closer look at the links in the timebasedreleases blurb, but they really don't make clear (from the point of view of a basic user) that a given release will not get updated versions of software.
[01:15] <mikessilo> the controller is a pci scsi raid controller
[01:15] <modconfig> noodles12, at least 2 gig that is
[01:16] <mikessilo> 4 hard drives in a raid 5 config
[01:16] <jrib> EnsignRedshirt: did you catch my last comment about !sru?
[01:16] <noodles12> thanks guys. i was planning on doing 10 gb. but wasnt' sure if that would be enough.
[01:16] <EnsignRedshirt> jrib: Getting there...
[01:16] <EnsignRedshirt> !sru > EnsignRedshirt
[01:16] <rich__> noodles12,  10 is good but 20 is beter
[01:16] <jrib> EnsignRedshirt: you can just do:  /msg ubotu sru
[01:16] <boubbin> jrib do you know why i cant delete these couple files from my system, even when im on root ? example file: ?--------- 18037 root        0 1970-01-01 11:13 fi.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_feisty_universe_i18n_Translation-fi
[01:17] <TaJMoX> noodles12 : /home is where your application's configuration files and your personal documents are stored.    also probably your video and music etc
[01:17] <LinAsH> noodles12, it depends if you're planning to install kde+gnome+ all big games ;)
[01:17] <TaJMoX> noodles12 : if you have over 100GB then use 40GB or more.   this is the only writable place for your documents and personal files
[01:17] <jrib> boubbin: no, but try running fsck... if they are on the same partition as /, do 'sudo touch /forcefsck' and reboot
[01:17] <noodles12> rich__: i'd do 20 but i don't think i have enough room. i only have 80gb.  i was gonna go 20 for windows, 5 for documents, 5 for fat32, 10 for ubuntu, and the rest for /home
[01:17] <rich__> boubbin,  gksudo nautilus
[01:17] <EnsignRedshirt> jrib: Ah, so that's what ubotu meant by "please use a private message..."
[01:17] <CNTRLX> im installing debian for xfce and keeping ubuntu for gnome
[01:17] <boubbin> rich__ what is that ?
[01:17] <jrib> CNTRLX: ubuntu has xfce as well
[01:18] <TaJMoX> noodles12 my /home is currently using 80% of my entire partition
[01:18] <CNTRLX> yes
[01:18] <rich__> so u will have permissons on files
[01:18] <rich__> folders and what not
[01:18] <rich__> i told u that like 30 min ago
[01:18] <mikessilo> slash cry
[01:18] <boubbin> rich__ no, i cant do anything to those files.
[01:18] <psilocyde> im getting a new error now
[01:18] <psilocyde> W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://security.ubuntu.com edgy-security/universe Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_edgy-security_universe_binary-i386_Packages)

[01:19] <jrib> mikessilo: if no one here can help you at the moment, you may want to try the forums and/or mailing list since your question is a bit rare
[01:19] <rich__> boubbin,  type gksudo nautilus in terminal then a file broswer will pop up then go to dir there and u can do whatever
[01:19] <jrib> !support > mikessilo (see the private message from ubotu)
[01:19] <noodles12> do i really need a swap file? i have 2gb of RAM and have never seen it used?
[01:19] <unagi> apparently the menu bar requires a different theme tweak?
[01:19] <jrib> noodles12: yes if you want to hibernate
[01:19] <psilocyde> please excuse my ignorance, i will do that thank you
[01:19] <rich__> noodles12,  yes
[01:20] <TaJMoX> psilocyde : you can ignore that error, or edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file and remove the duplicate entry
[01:20] <rich__> noodles12,  swap  will be very small
[01:20] <Vall-k> hi!
[01:20] <TaJMoX> noodles12 make 512mb swap
[01:20] <unagi> sigh
[01:20] <Vall-k> please, somone can help me?
[01:20] <boubbin> jrib well there was a lighting strom that caused electricity "stop" for an hour last week and i needed to start my pc again. it did fcsk and it "died with status 1" or something like that and after that startup i havent been able to use those files (and apt-get)
[01:20] <unagi> sometimes i feel im too stupid for this linux stuff
[01:20] <LinAsH> noodles12, you need it if you plan tu use the suspend function
[01:20] <EnsignRedshirt> jrib: OK, the sru pages are better.
[01:20] <CNTRLX> haha same
[01:21] <noodles12> LinAsH: will 512mb be enough to suspend and hibernate?
[01:21] <negen> Hello it seems to me that even when i select to do a full install overwriting the old partitions it remembers some of the hardware settings of the old install is there a way to completly start fresh as if i am installing on a new hardisk
[01:21] <jrib> boubbin: well that seems to mean that errors were corrected.  But I would run it again and see if anything new shows up
[01:21] <boubbin> ok
[01:21] <LinAsH> noodles12, hibernate is to dd and suspend is to ram
[01:21] <TaJMoX> noodles12 it depends on how much programs are running.   hibernate puts everything that is in RAM into swap.   rarely you will be even using 512MB of ram
[01:22] <unagi> anyone know what to do with mouse themes?
[01:22] <TaJMoX> unagi - install like you would an icon set.   drag the tar.gz file onto the themes window
[01:22] <negen> i use about 315mb ram right now
[01:22] <unagi> ty
[01:22] <psilocyde> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26187/
[01:23] <psilocyde> i think i did that right
[01:23] <CNTRLX> me to negen
[01:23] <TaJMoX> unagi - dont try to use the pointer set as your icon set...it will be in your icons set list in the theme picker, dont pick it.   choose mouse pointer from settings
[01:23] <VERTiG0> I'm updating the packages from Synaptic right now and I have the single file progress being shown.... EVERY SINGLE one is showing "status: failed" ...  thoughts?
[01:23] <negen> whats up?
[01:23] <rich__> negen,  waddup
[01:23] <unagi> i just dled a new set and its not in the window
[01:23] <noodles12> TaJMoX: ok thanks. here ig o installing.. c u!
[01:23] <unagi> and dragging it there doesnt work
[01:24] <Jordan_U> VERTiG0, Are you connected to the internet?
[01:24] <unagi> is there a dir i need to put it in?
[01:24] <psilocyde> can i get any help with my problem
[01:24] <VERTiG0> yes Jordan_U, apparently
[01:24] <VERTiG0> at the top its showing "downloading file 8 of 40"
[01:24] <Vall-k> I have a HTML form, with a input type "file", but when i send the value to the PAGE.PHP (method POST) doesn't works... but if the input is type "text" works ok... can you help me please?? (sorry for my "english" :P)
[01:24] <TaJMoX> unagi - drag the tar.gz onto the themes chooser
[01:24] <VERTiG0> now its on "10 of 42"
[01:24] <filthpig> hi
[01:24] <TaJMoX> unagi then if it installed successfully - you can delete the tar.gz
[01:24] <unagi> under mouse preferences?
[01:25] <Jordan_U> VERTiG0, But that may just mean that the first 9 failed because they couldn't connect
[01:25] <TaJMoX> unagi - in Themes
[01:25] <LinAsH> Vall-k, /join ##php
[01:25] <VERTiG0> even the most recent ones have failed
[01:25] <TaJMoX> unagi - it might work in mouse prefs in pointers
[01:25] <VERTiG0> they are all failing
[01:25] <Jordan_U> VERTiG0, Try pinging google.com or going somewhere with fireox
[01:25] <Jordan_U> *firefox
[01:25] <unagi> its not working either way
[01:25] <unagi> i tried it in mouse prefs and emerald
[01:25] <Vall-k> LinAsH... i can't... show "Overflow" :S
[01:25] <negen> the very frist time i installed ubuntu on this system it was new system and 5.10 was the hot topic but since then i have done a fresh install for each full upgrade and never had to reinput as must data as i did during the frist install it remember the moniters name and things like that I think there must be a way to completly wipe my drive befor i do a full install isnt there?
[01:25] <VERTiG0> hm
[01:25] <TaJMoX> unagi - extract the tar.gz and move the folder to ~/.icons
[01:26] <filthpig> I've been doing some rescue work on my friend's hdd using ntfs-3g to copy some files from one physical drive to another (both ntfs), but when I try to open the copied folder from windows, I get some error
[01:26] <VERTiG0> firefox is saying "Looking up www.google.com..." as if it isn't connected at all.
[01:26] <VERTiG0> weird...
[01:26] <HungryCakes> I'm having trouble with Ubuntu and torrenting, after a certain period of time, all connections to the internet in the house stop.  This only happens when I torrent on the Ubuntu box, every other computer torrents fine.  I tried launchpad, but noone seems to be able to give me any kind of fix.  I'm using Ktorrent, my ISP is Verizon FIOS, and I have an Actiontec MI-424-WR router (came with the FIOS setup).
[01:26] <VERTiG0> and i can't get to any webpage at all normally with firefox
[01:26] <TaJMoX> hungrycakes : try limiting the connections used in your torrent client's settings
[01:26] <VERTiG0> Jordan_U, should i cancel the synaptic update and perhaps reboot or something?
[01:27] <LinAsH> HungryCakes, I had the same problem with ktorrent
[01:27] <Vall-k> pleeeeaseee!! :'(
[01:27] <TaJMoX> hungrycakes : windows has a limit on connections - ubuntu doesnt
[01:27] <rich__> TaJMoX,  what torrent clinet do u prefer?
[01:27] <TaJMoX> rich__ i use deluge
[01:27] <LinAsH> HungryCakes, I use rtorrent now
[01:27] <vox754> !please
[01:27] <ubotu> Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience
[01:27] <rich__> TaJMoX,  man i get slow speed on all torrent clients and i set em up properly
[01:28] <HungryCakes> TaJMoX, I've limited connections
[01:28] <fxfitz> Does anyone know how to set up apache to authenticate MythWeb??
[01:28] <LinAsH> HungryCakes, try to desactivate UPnP
[01:28] <HungryCakes> LinAsH, I've tried rtorrent, but it doesn't seem to work for my torrents, plus the lack of a GUI and RSS torrents doesn't help
[01:28] <Jordan_U> VERTiG0, Try reconnecting with System -> Administration -> Networking or run: sudo ifconfig eth0 && sudo dhclient eth0
[01:29] <HungryCakes> LinAsH, I'm port forwarding, no UPnP
[01:29] <negen> is there a way to burn a dvd iso with out it reading it after it is burned as a dvd-r
[01:29] <LinAsH> HungryCakes, Azureus is fine if you've got lot of ram
[01:29] <rich__> TaJMoX,  think u can help me setting up deluge
[01:29] <unagi> search for files likes to lock up my pc
[01:29] <HungryCakes> LinAsH, I tried Azureus too, same problem
[01:29] <rockets> I'm not getting any sound, except when the system beep plays. i.e. if I hold down tab a a terminal, I'll hear my MP3s playing
[01:30] <Jordan_U> negen, What do you mean, what do you want it to read it as?
[01:30] <dfgas> ok, i have an usb audio that work on ubuntu, how do i get it to default to use that
[01:30] <rockets> dfgas, alsaconf list
[01:30] <negen> just as if it was a store bought dvd
[01:30] <rockets> alsaconf set-default-card cardname
[01:31] <LinAsH> HungryCakes, deluge-torrent? ;)
[01:31] <dfgas> rockets: no such file
[01:31] <negen> it seems that i have to change to /dev/media/cdrom0 if i want smplayer to play  my freinds wedding movie  but if i play  a store bought dvd it will play from /dev/dvd
[01:31] <HungryCakes> LinAsH, never tried that one, would a change in client help?
[01:32] <LinAsH> well for me it helps
[01:32] <rockets> dfgas, sorry asoundconf is the command
[01:32] <HungryCakes> LinAsH, I'll try deluge-torrent then, thanks
[01:33] <dfgas> rcoket all i have is default
[01:33] <dfgas> rocket
[01:33] <deaden> negen: ln -sf /dev/media/cdrom0 /dev/dvd
[01:34] <dfgas> rockets: us there something i have to do to get alsa to see usbudio, i know it works on alsa cause i made xmms use that card
[01:34] <rockets> dfgas, idk, mine just works after i use that command
[01:34] <rockets> my usb headset
[01:34] <dfgas> hmmm
[01:34] <dfgas> rockets: do you have that and a normal sound card?
[01:34] <VERTiG0> okay, my internet just stopped working again on my ubuntu machine.
[01:35] <VERTiG0> just totally randomly.
[01:35] <rockets> dfgas, yes
[01:35] <rich__> LinAsH,  is there a site to set up deluge?
[01:35] <Jordan_U> VERTiG0, Did you try the suggestion I gave you
[01:35] <Jordan_U> ?
[01:35] <Terzo> when i try to apply twin view in nvidia-settings, it tells me "Failed to set MetaMode (1) 'CRT-0: 1024x768 @1024x768 +0+0, DFP-0: 1440x900 @1440x900 +1024+0' (Mode 2464x900, id: 50) on X screen 0
[01:35] <Terzo> Would you like to remove this MetaMode?"  What does that mean?
[01:36] <LinAsH> rich__, via apt-get install deluge-torrent
[01:36] <VERTiG0> Jordan_U i just typed all that stuff into the terminal
[01:36] <aoeuhtns-> so I just backed up my harddrive using dd, anybody know the best way to verify it worked correctly?
[01:36] <VERTiG0> and its doing its thing now
[01:36] <rich__> LinAsH,  it is already installed i wnat to configure connections is there a site to match my speed to make max settings?
[01:37] <aoeuhtns-> I tried md5sum but over 300GB of data I can understand that an error might slip in (they didn't match...)
[01:37] <VERTiG0> Jordan_U, its done, and reports back with no DHCPOFFERS received...
[01:37] <Jordan_U> aoeuhtns-, If you have a lot of time to spare and and want to be really sure md5 it
[01:37] <VERTiG0> yet it shows up as connected in my routers' firmware status.
[01:37] <LinAsH> rich__, the best upload limit is about half your max upload speed
[01:38] <Jordan_U> VERTiG0, Does your router have DHCP enabled?
[01:38] <VERTiG0> yessir
[01:38] <rich__> LinAsH,  should i have mroe than one port open and if not how many
[01:38] <VERTiG0> all of my windows machines are setup to use it
[01:38] <VERTiG0> and of course, the router does
[01:38] <VERTiG0> but Jordan_U it's odd, because i switched ethernet cables when it wasn't working before, and on a whim it just worked
[01:38] <VERTiG0> everything worked
[01:39] <VERTiG0> now, 15 minutes later, it doesn't work anymore
[01:39] <VERTiG0> just randomly.
[01:39] <fuzzyhair> Under my system my "about gnome" is missing. How can I get it back?
[01:39] <Jordan_U> VERTiG0, And your wired interface is eth0?
[01:39] <VERTiG0> as soon as i started to update the synaptic package list it conked out
[01:39] <VERTiG0> yessir, eth0.
[01:39] <negen> strange that smplayer works but mplayer dosnt
[01:39] <LinAsH> rich__, default are fine I suppose, just configure your router to forward to the correct ports
[01:40] <unagi> lol i dont get installing custom pointers
[01:40] <Jordan_U> VERTiG0, And this card / computer worked fine with another OS?
[01:40] <VERTiG0> worked perfectly with windows
[01:40] <VERTiG0> absolutely everything wokred
[01:40] <VERTiG0> hell, it was working fine with ubuntu just 10 minutes ago!  hehe
[01:41] <Nwallins|home> I have liblame0, lame, liblame-devel, and ffmpeg installed, but ffmpeg still can't encode mp3s.  anyone know how to enable mp3 encoding / output ?
[01:41] <boubbin> jrib atleast i can run apt again, so fsck kind of fixed it :P
[01:41] <boubbin> thanks.
[01:41] <LinAsH> Nwallins|home, try with mencoder
[01:41] <negen> I was forced to buy windows the other day my sister needs a computer i am building for her ahhh spent all nite puking becouse i felt so horible that i had to be the one to buy it
[01:42] <Jordan_U> VERTiG0, I'm running out of ideas so just to cover all bases, the ethernet cable isn't loose or anything and you can see the appropriate lights blinking?
[01:43] <Terrasqu1> negen: you got issues, alright
[01:43] <Nwallins|home> LinAsH: hmm.. is there no way to do it with ffmpeg?
[01:43] <tovella> veritgo: i had a similar problem with my ex's kid's machine.
[01:43] <negen> thank god I had some holy water left from when i visted sto nino
[01:43] <Flawless_> Shouldn't it be possible to use multiple ALSA programs simultaneously in newer ubuntus? I have feisty, and a single app blocks the whole soundcard
[01:44] <TaJMoX> unagi - you should have a directory with an index.theme file.   put that directory in ~/.icons
[01:44] <eXeCuT3> i can't save files in iso-8859-8 with gedit... (The document contains one or more characters that cannot be encoded using the specified character coding), is there any other text-editor that can ?
[01:44] <eXeCuT3> (it says it even if the files is empty)
[01:44] <Jordan_U> Flawless_, Are you sure that that app isn't using OSS ?
[01:44] <unagi> then?
[01:44] <Flawless_> Flawless_: it's mplayer and xmms (or mplayer and mplayer)
[01:44] <Flawless_> Flawless_: so yes, 100%
[01:44] <TaJMoX> unagi - then go into the mouse preferences and see if it's listed there
[01:44] <tovella> VERTiG0: i had a similar problem with my ex's kid's machine.
[01:45] <Flawless_> Jordan_U: I'm tired. I'm answering myself for no reason ;)
[01:45] <LinAsH> Nwallins|home, ffmpeg -acodec mp3 works fine for me
[01:45] <Flawless_> Jordan_U: also, of course xmms was set the wrong way :(
[01:45] <unagi> its not
[01:45] <Flawless_> Jordan_U: but there's no way to enable dmixing on oss?
[01:45] <Flawless_> Jordan_U: wow, it works :)
[01:45] <Jordan_U> Flawless_, Are you using ALSA?
[01:45] <TaJMoX> unagi - try a different custom pointer
[01:45] <eX|Joe> Ok guys, I need serious help here...  I installed WinXP on drive (hda1), I followed by installing Ubuntu (sda), I am trying to add Windows XP to grub.  My Menu.1st is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26182/ .
[01:46] <VERTiG0> Jordan_U, everything seems fine
[01:46] <BloodyTux> hey anyone use pidgin?
[01:46] <Jordan_U> Flawless_, I'm just that good ;)
[01:46] <tovella> VERTiG0: i switched to a different model of network card (and put it in a different slot).  it's been working well for the past 8 months.
[01:46] <TaJMoX> unagi - find one that works and compare the files heirarchy with the one that doesnt work
[01:46] <BloodyTux> nvm
[01:46] <VERTiG0> tovella, i don't have that option - it's an old laptop :)
[01:46] <Flawless_> Jordan_U: ;)
[01:47] <Flawless_> Jordan_U: but on a serious note, alsa only supports dmix for, well, alsa? Even though it really provides oss?
[01:47] <VERTiG0> basically what I'm trying to do is get this thing connected to the internet with a wired connection so i an get ndiswrapper from Synaptic, and then use that to get the drivers for my Linksys WPC54G cardbus wifi card to work
[01:47] <tovella> VERTiG0: there's was old too.  they'd spilled juice on it.  pccard slot available?
[01:47] <VERTiG0> yes, pccard slot is available, but i want that for my wifi card.
[01:47] <Jordan_U> Flawless_, You can emulate OSS through ALSA using aoss
[01:47] <tovella> VERTiG0: understandable.
[01:48] <crimsun> Flawless_: that's correct.  oss emulation cannot be dmixed, because dmix is an alsa-lib plugin, and oss emulation bypasses alsa-lib completely.
[01:48] <VERTiG0> see the thing is, tovella, this wired connection was working perfectly fine not 20 minutes ago, completely out of nowhere
[01:48] <eX|Joe> Ok guys, I need serious help here...  I installed WinXP on drive (hda1), I followed by installing Ubuntu (sda), I am trying to add Windows XP to grub.  My Menu.1st is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26182/ .
[01:48] <VERTiG0> i'll reboot my router, see if that does anything.
[01:48] <Nwallins|home> LinAsH: I am upgrading to feisty as we speak.  using 6.10 currently.  maybe that will fix
[01:48] <LinAsH> Nwallins|home, well, it seams you have to recompil first: http://po-ru.com/diary/fixing-ffmpeg-on-ubuntu-edgy/
[01:48] <Flawless_> crimsun: ok
[01:48] <GUARDiAN|nb> hi
[01:49] <Jordan_U> !hi | GUARDiAN|nb
[01:49] <ubotu> GUARDiAN|nb: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[01:49] <GUARDiAN|nb> i have a problem with video playback in mythtv and/or totem: the red and blue channels are swapped
[01:49] <Flawless_> crimsun: then I just need to solve that the crossfader plugin refuses to buffer less than 1-2 seconds(!) of audio in xmms, which forces me to use its built-in oss output code, if I want crossfading to work
[01:49] <Nwallins|home> LinAsH: ok, thanks
[01:49] <Flawless_> crimsun: that is just... I can't win :P
[01:49] <GUARDiAN|nb> i'm running fglrx on feisty, btw
[01:49] <tovella> when i opened up their machine, i found corrosion all along  the slot that held the network card.  i cleaned & dried it, but after replacing the card, it still had the same problem, until i used a different slot.
[01:49] <Flawless_> crimsun: hmm.. maybe through aoss...
[01:49] <eX|Joe> Ok guys, I need serious help here...  I installed WinXP on drive (hda1), I followed by installing Ubuntu (sda), I am trying to add Windows XP to grub.  My Menu.1st is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26182/ .
[01:49] <VERTiG0> well now
[01:50] <Jadder> Hello, everybody, I am practicing linux, in vi I want to know how I going to the last line of a file?
[01:50] <Jordan_U> Flawless_, To use xmms with aoss just install aoss and run: aoss xmms
[01:50] <LinAsH> Nwallins|home, first you may try the medibuntu version of ffmpeg: http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com
[01:50] <eX|Joe> how do you practice linux?
[01:51] <Flawless_> Jordan_U: just did :)
[01:51] <Flawless_> Jordan_U: there's still a quite long buffer, but it's better
[01:51] <rockets> Should I remove ubuntu's ALSA driver package before compiling the latest one?
[01:51] <crimsun> rockets: no, just make install-modules, not make install
[01:51] <LinAsH> eX|Joe, just make it run
[01:51] <tovella> eX|Joe: it looks like Windows XP is already in your menu.lst
[01:51] <crimsun> rockets: the former doesn't clobber our infrastructure unlike the latter
[01:52] <Flawless_> Jordan_U, crimsun: thank you, it's rocking!
[01:52] <Xristina24> hi i have a big problem installing ati catalyst driver
[01:52] <eX|Joe> LinAsH, tovella, its not running tho.  It says "Starting Up" and just stays there... Never booting
[01:52] <Nwallins|home> LinAsH: oh cool, I'd rather stick with packages -- thanks!
[01:52] <Jordan_U> Jadder, "G"
[01:52] <Xristina24> can you help???
[01:53] <LinAsH> eX|Joe, was thinking that installing grub on your other drive and changing the boot order in bios might works
[01:53] <tovella> eX|Joe: your windows installation should have been detected when you installed ubuntu.  do you have another menu.lst (a backup)?
[01:53] <eX|Joe> i do
[01:53] <ProN00b> how do i change brightness of my screen ? (screen interface is at minimum, i need something to config it on X or the nvidia driver)
[01:53] <Pirate_Hunter> Can ubuntu give me acces to my windows partitions so it makes life easier to move files around instead of ahving to boot all the times
[01:54] <eX|Joe> LinAsH, are you asking if I can install grub on {(hda1)WinXP}?
[01:54] <tovella> eX|Joe: can you put it in pastbin?
[01:54] <LinAsH> eX|Joe, well on the mbr of hda
[01:54] <Pirate_Hunter> 8989
[01:55] <julio_> Cool app.
[01:55] <eX|Joe> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26196/
[01:55] <eX|Joe> LinAsH, I'd rather keep that as my very last resort.
[01:55] <Pirate_Hunter> Can ubuntu give me access to my windows partitions so it makes life easier to move files around instead of having to boot all the times into windows
[01:56] <Jordan_U> !ntfs-3g | Pirate_Hunter
[01:56] <ubotu> Pirate_Hunter: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[01:56] <Pirate_Hunter> Jordan_U: tanx will check it out
[01:56] <Jordan_U> Pirate_Hunter, np
[01:56] <eX|Joe> Jordan_U, same questions over and over eh?
[01:56] <Gerrit> Goodnight
[01:57] <Jordan_U> eX|Joe, That's what ubotu is for :)
[01:57] <eX|Joe> they need a !omgrubforxp for my question...
[01:57] <jrib> Kandi3DRAKAN: please don't do that
[01:57] <eX|Joe> brb in one sec
[01:58] <Jordan_U> !grub > eX|Joe
[01:58] <Kandi3DRAKAN> sorry not used to new Mirc
[01:58] <tovella> eX|Joe: based on what i see in your menu.lst, it appears that when you installed ubuntu, you overwrote the windows partition, instead of letting ubuntu make a separate partition.
[01:58] <Kandi3DRAKAN> did
[01:58] <Kandi3DRAKAN> DMZ fu)*) that up
[01:58] <zeeeee> will the emacs-snapshot package be updated to support xft fonts anytime soon?
[01:59] <zeeeee> (i'm on dapper if that makes any difference)
[01:59] <Jordan_U> zeeeee, Maybe try backports?
[02:00] <tovella> zeeeee: there must be an emacs channel where you could get a more definitive answer to that question.
[02:00] <zeeeee> Jordan_U: are you implying that it's available in the emacs-snapshot for feisty or something?
[02:00] <nickrud> zeeeee, no one here will know :)  The one in feisty is dec 2006.  You'd probably be luckier asking in #debian, emacs snapshot comes directly from there
[02:01] <Jordan_U> zeeeee, It might be, I am just saying that it may be something to check
[02:01] <zeeeee> ok
[02:01] <Nwallins|home> zeeeee: don't mention ubuntu if you ask in #debian... just ask about the package and any known plans
[02:02] <ProN00b> how do i change brightness of my screen ? (screen interface is at minimum, i need something to config it on X or the nvidia driver)
[02:02] <Nwallins|home> X config has a gamma control
[02:02] <fxfitz> How do I load a module for apache??
[02:02] <zeeeee> Nwallins|home: is it a touchy subject :)
[02:02] <Nwallins|home> zeeeee: you betcha
[02:03] <Zack> Hi I need to know how to Mount my Ipod...
[02:03] <zeeeee> Nwallins|home: wow, really? i was just kidding
[02:03] <Jordan_U> ProN00b, System -> Prefs -> Power Management
[02:03] <nickrud> ProN00b, you'd change the gamma. There's a simple python thing on the net, gammapage, that can use to test and it shows you how to set it up permanently
[02:03] <tovella> Nwallins|home: is Nwallins for New Orleans?
[02:03] <Nwallins|home> tovella: yup
[02:03] <EnsignRedshirt> zeeeee: You were kidding, but Nwallins|home wasn't :)
[02:03] <LinAsH> fxfitz, ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/module.conf /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/
[02:03] <zeeeee> do they see ubuntu as leeching off their efforts
[02:03] <ProN00b> Jordan_U, nope, theres nothing there
[02:03] <Nwallins|home> tovella: my adopted home :)
[02:03] <Jordan_U> Zack, If it is FAT 32 then it should just mount automatically
[02:03] <zeeeee> and stealing their userbase
[02:03] <Nwallins|home> zeeeee: they are not interested in supporting ubuntu users
[02:03] <zeeeee> oh
[02:04] <Nwallins|home> zeeeee: they see it as a waste (literally) of time
[02:04] <fxfitz> LinAsH, Thank you
[02:04] <Jordan_U> ProN00b, Strange, there is for me
[02:04] <tovella> Nwallins|home: i thought perhaps that meant you made it BACK home, after katrina.
[02:04] <Nwallins|home> no, I live in Atlanta now.  home from work :)
[02:04] <Zack> Jordan: Well Ubuntu Recognizes it but Amarok says it needs a Mount/Unmount Command
[02:04] <nickrud> #debian has always been a rough place, ubuntu is just another target ;)
[02:04] <nomic> i'm installing xubuntu and it's asking me if i want to set up LVM is this something i should do?
[02:04] <nomic> logical volume management
[02:04] <Nwallins|home> nomic: no
[02:05] <nomic> nwallins .. why not?
[02:05] <Nwallins|home> nomic: not unless you're sure you want to
[02:05] <ProN00b> Jordan_U, i can only set screen to turn off after a specified time
[02:05] <ProN00b> Jordan_U, you are propably on a notebook
[02:05] <Nwallins|home> nomic: it's a big hassle unless you know exactly what you're doing
[02:05] <LinAsH> nomic, no, it's if you've raid or something
[02:05] <nomic> right
[02:05] <nomic> thanks
[02:05] <Jordan_U> ProN00b, Yes, I am, If you aren't shouldn't that control be on the monitor itself?
[02:06] <Jordan_U> Zack, OK, make a mount point for it, like: sudo mkdir /media/ipod
[02:06] <ProN00b> Jordan_U, as i said, it is, but i can't get it low enough, it still hurts my eyes at lowest level
[02:06] <tovella> Nwallins|home: funny, my experience in the Atl is where i got the notion that people pronounce new orleans nwallins...  i spent a year in the Atl, before i could understand my new boss.
[02:06] <Zack> Jordan: Ok lemme try that.
[02:06] <ProN00b> and at highest its like i am looking into gods face
[02:06] <Nwallins|home> tovella: that is funny, because I never heard it pronounced like my nick until i got there
[02:06] <Ta1> Anyone know how to open ports?  I'm trying to run BF2142 and I tried a port checker online and the ports are not open even though I allowed them in my router.. AFAIK I don't have a firewall running on Ubuntu.. I tried directly through the cablemodem as well so it is either ubuntu or comcast..
[02:06] <Jordan_U> ProN00b, You changed the contrast also?
[02:07] <Nwallins|home> tovella: it was always "N'awlins", which is totally inaccurate, from a local perspective
[02:07] <rockets> How do I use prevu to build something from source?
[02:07] <tovella> Nwallins|home: even with today
[02:07] <tovella> Nwallins|home: even with today's economic conditions, i'm glad to be back in New York.
[02:07] <nickrud> ProN00b, you can try xgamma -gamma 0.9 ; if it's still too bright, try a lower number
[02:07] <ProN00b> xgamma doesn't work
[02:07] <Zack> Jordan: It didnt work
[02:07] <ProN00b> a bright white is still a bright white
[02:07] <Nwallins|home> tovella: i love the Big Apple -- most of my friends from NO ended up there
[02:07] <ProN00b> i need brightness, not gamma
[02:08] <Jordan_U> Zack, Then figure out the device name for your ipod by running: mount
[02:08] <Nwallins|home> post-Katrina
[02:08] <jrib> rockets: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu you might want to try #ubuntu-motu for packaging questions
[02:08] <Zack> Amarok Has an example "Mount%d"
[02:08] <rockets> thanks
[02:08] <Jordan_U> Zack, That is not the command to put into Amerok, that is just the first step to mounting something
[02:08] <Zack> Jordan:well i need Amerok, But i dont understand it
[02:08] <tovella> Nwallins|home: we're still praying & working (activism) for you all.
[02:09] <unagi> ok i dont get it.....every tutorial that tells me to do the command make or make install i get the same error
[02:09] <unagi> any reason why?
[02:09] <Nwallins|home> tovella: my heart is still fond, but I've moved on
[02:09] <nickrud> unagi, something about no gcc or the like?
[02:09] <IndyGunFreak> unagi: well, whats the error.
[02:09] <Jordan_U> Zack, I don't use Amarok so I don't know if it wants something different, I was just going to give you the normal *nix command for mounting your ipod
[02:09] <Sepero> unagi: because compiling sucks
[02:09] <Ta1> Whats the easiest way in Ubuntu to find out what ports are open?
[02:10] <Zack> Hum.
[02:10] <Nwallins|home> tovella: if there were technology work there, I'd certainly consider going back
[02:10] <nickrud> Ta1, sudo netstat -tlp
[02:10] <IndyGunFreak> Compiling is awesome if you're good at it and don't get stuck in dependency hell.
[02:10] <unagi> svn checkout http://avant-window-navigator.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ avant-window-navigator
[02:10] <unagi> wait
[02:10] <unagi> lol
[02:10] <unagi> make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop.
[02:10] <unagi> unagi@mrunagi-laptop:~/installs/avant-window-navigator$ make
[02:10] <unagi> make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
[02:10] <unagi> unagi@mrunagi-laptop:~/installs/avant-window-navigator$
[02:10] <Nwallins|home> tovella: but career opportunities suck, unless you're in construction or gov't
[02:10] <Nwallins|home> at this point
[02:10] <Jordan_U> !paste | unagi
[02:10] <ProN00b> how do i change brightness (NOT gamma) of my screen ? (screen interface is at minimum, i need something to config it on X or the nvidia driver)
[02:10] <ubotu> unagi: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[02:10] <Sepero> IndyGunFreak: If awsome means, it fails, breaks alot, and wastes a lot of time. I agree 100%
[02:10] <Ta1> nickrud: how do you open other ports?
[02:10] <Nwallins|home> ProN00b: with your monitor controls
[02:10] <IndyGunFreak> Sepero: it doesn't fail alot..
[02:11] <ProN00b> Nwallins|home, already at minimum
[02:11] <unagi> any ideas?
[02:11] <IndyGunFreak> if you do your job, compiling is guaranteed to work
[02:11] <IndyGunFreak> Music_Shuffle: long time no see..
[02:11] <tovella> Nwallins|home: keep your ear to the ground...  as more rebuilding gets done, the tech opportunities will come.
[02:11] <Music_Shuffle> Indeed :D
[02:11] <IndyGunFreak> where've yo ubeen?
[02:12] <nickrud> Ta1, ah, by ports open I read ports (with apps behind them) listening: You're talking about opening up your firewall?
[02:12] <Jordan_U> unagi, This may be easier, note that I do not know the quality of this repository though: http://awn.wetpaint.com/page/Ubuntu+Feisty+Repository?t=anon
[02:12] <Nwallins|home> tovella: there are little gigs here and there, but nothing to depend on, at this point.
[02:12] <Sepero> unagi: I've been using Linux 5+ yrs, and I say compiling sucks.
[02:12] <tovella> Nwallins|home: understandable.
[02:12] <Ta1> nickrud: Yes, if there is a firewall installed by default.. I assume so
[02:12] <jmg> hey all
[02:13] <Jordan_U> !hi | jmg
[02:13] <ubotu> jmg: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[02:13] <shorto> hey all, i'm now to linux and i have got a little problem with video playing, when i go full screen (in any player) i get "squares" and it's very annoying to watch. Any ideas?
[02:13] <jmg> i cant make my nomad jukebox zen detect in feisty
[02:13] <Nwallins|home> tovella: every time I visit NYC, it seems I end up at BB King's for some NO band, and there is a big NO reunion :)
[02:13] <jmg> people say it opens under dapper
[02:13] <Jester45> there is a firewall wall installed on ubuntu by default but it doesnt block anything by defualt
[02:13] <brk3> anyone here installed glest?
[02:13] <nickrud> Ta1, no, no firewall by default.
[02:13] <Nwallins|home> iptables?
[02:13] <VERTiG0> If I want to get ndiswrapper from synaptic, do i want ndiswrapper-common or ndiswrapper-utils-1.9?
[02:13] <brk3> use firestarter for a firewall :)
[02:14] <Zack> How do i Create a folder in my File Directory
[02:14] <Sergo> linspire
[02:14] <Nwallins|home> VERTiG0: typically *-common packages get installed automatically as needed
[02:14] <brk3> Zack: mkdir nameoffolder
[02:14] <brk3> anyone play the game glest at all?
[02:14] <Jordan_U> VERTiG0, I doubt that you want to use ndiswrapper for your ethernet card though, if that is still what you are trying to get working...
[02:15] <Ta1> I need specific ports open for Battlefield 2142 .. my router isn't blocking so it has to be a firewall
[02:15] <VERTiG0> well Jordan_U
[02:15] <VERTiG0> oddly enough
[02:15] <VERTiG0> the port i was using on my router won't work for a connection with this laptop
[02:15] <nickrud> Ta1, sudo iptables -L will list any firewall rules that are defined
[02:15] <VERTiG0> but it works fine with my networked printer.
[02:15] <brk3> Ta1: install firestarter and it easy to open the ports from there
[02:15] <VERTiG0> so i just switched ports, problem solved.
[02:15] <VERTiG0> now the project is getting my Linksys WPC54G v1 wifi card to work :)
[02:16] <Zack> Why do i not have Permission to create a Directory?
[02:16] <VERTiG0> the guides i've found suggest using ndiswrapper and using the windows drivers for the card.
[02:16] <unagi> wow after all that i dunno how to start awn
[02:16] <Zack> nvm
[02:16] <cafuego> VERTiG0: Is that a bcm4306?
[02:16] <brk3> Zack: you need to use sudo: sudo mkdir nameofdirectory
[02:16] <Ta1> brk3: does firestarter block everything by default?  I tried installing that and NOTHING would work.. web, gaim, nada
[02:16] <Jordan_U> VERTiG0, Is that broadcom?
[02:17] <liberti> hola
[02:17] <shorto> can anyone tell em how do i leave the "X" so i can install drivers?
[02:17] <VERTiG0> not 100% sure...
[02:17] <brk3> Ta1: no shouldnt do, I just installed it there today and everything still works..
[02:17] <liberti> si alguien me entiende
[02:17] <cafuego> VERTiG0: run 'lspci' with the card inserted.
[02:17] <nickrud> unagi, if you installed that deb someone referred you to, dpkg -L <nameofdeb> | grep bin should show what you need to run
[02:17] <liberti> por favor
[02:17] <liberti> necesito
[02:17] <liberti> ayuda
[02:17] <VERTiG0> apparently it is broadcom...
[02:17] <Nwallins|home> liberti: #ubuntu-es   maybe?\
[02:17] <VERTiG0> not sure of the exact chipset
[02:17] <brk3> Ta1: have installed any other firewall packages that may be interfering?
[02:17] <cafuego> VERTiG0: ok. You don't need windows drivers at all.
[02:17] <IndyGunFreak> !sp
[02:17] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sp - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:17] <cafuego> VERTiG0: http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/dists/feisty-cafuego/bcm43xx/
[02:17] <liberti> tengo un problema con xmame
[02:17] <VERTiG0> really cafuego
[02:17] <IndyGunFreak> !es
[02:17] <ubotu> Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[02:17] <brk3> are there any channels for ubuntu gaming, im having trouble with getting glest to run
[02:17] <liberti> y esque solo se me ve en pantalla miniatura
[02:17] <Ta1> not that I know of.. I did the default install and haven't added any other firewalls
[02:17] <leonel> liberti: /j #ubuntu-es
[02:17] <liberti> pq??
[02:17] <cafuego> VERTiG0: Remove ndiswrapper, install the bcm43xx-firmware packag. Reboot, enjoy.
[02:18] <liberti> asias
[02:18] <VERTiG0> Broadcom 4306C0 chipset?
[02:18] <Jordan_U> VERTiG0, Any braodcom card
[02:18] <IndyGunFreak> VERTiG0: should be easy
[02:18] <brk3> Ta1: are you 100% sure you have port forwarding set up on your router properly
[02:18] <VERTiG0> glorious.
[02:18] <VERTiG0> thanks guys, i appreciate it.
[02:18] <VERTiG0> will try it.
[02:18] <cafuego> VERTiG0: I use it here on my pc laptop and g4 ibook; works dandy with network manager
[02:18] <Jordan_U> VERTiG0, The package is "bcm43xx-fwcutter"
[02:18] <tovella> Zack: you should be able to create a directory within your home directory, but to create one outside of that, you will have to use "sudo".  it's a security thing with all unix, linux, & bsd based operating systems.
[02:18] <smoopuppy2> how do I add to the ubuntu wiki
[02:19] <Ta1> brk3: yes, and I tried it without the router any.. straight from the pc to the cablemodem
[02:19] <smoopuppy2> i found an easy way to setup an evdo card in ubuntu
[02:19] <IndyGunFreak> smoopuppy2: if you have to ask, maybe you shoudn't be adding. :)
[02:19] <Jordan_U> smoopuppy2, You need to create an account and log in to edit
[02:19] <cafuego> Jordan_U: The one in ubuntu yes, mine isn't (and i *know* my firmware works)
[02:19] <nickrud> smoopuppy2, go to launchpad.net, get yourself an account, then login to the wiki and edit away
[02:19] <smoopuppy2> fyi kppp works great as a evdo client
[02:19] <VERTiG0> okay so what exactly do i need to get from that page, cafuego?  i'm new to installing things within linux.
[02:19] <Jordan_U> cafuego, ?
[02:19] <cafuego> VERTiG0: bcm43xx-firmware_1.3-1ubuntu2_all.deb
[02:19] <brk3> Ta1: and battlefield is it cant connect?
[02:20] <IndyGunFreak> nickrud: does anyone maintain the wiki, to make sure its accurate?
[02:20] <tovella> Zack: are you attempting to create a directory from the command line, or from within the gui?
[02:20] <cafuego> VERTiG0: Just double-click that after downloading.
[02:20] <Zack> OK I have created the Folder but how do i save a File into the folder? When i click save it says I do not have permission
[02:20] <VERTiG0> alriiiiight.
[02:20] <VERTiG0> then reboot, plug the card in, and it should work out of the box?
[02:20] <dardack> someone recommend i come on here for some help with my wireless connection, when someone has a minute
[02:20] <cafuego> Jordan_U: the fwcutter requires you to grab a firmware, and not all listed firmware files work with all cards.
[02:20] <Jordan_U> cafuego, I prefer the bcm43xx-fwcutter as it will automatically update your firmware when new firmware is available
[02:20] <Ta1> brk3: bf2142 requires like 20 different ports open.. and no it says there is no internet connection.. it works fine on my PC
[02:20] <IndyGunFreak> !wireless | dardack
[02:20] <nickrud> IndyGunFreak, some. I used to spend a lot of time on it, and will soon have some time. You're welcome to join in
[02:20] <ubotu> dardack: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[02:20] <eazyass> how do i determine which serial port i have something plugged into?
[02:20] <Ta1> on winblows that is..
[02:20] <cafuego> Jordan_U: And for the 4306, mine works, as I have two.
[02:21] <IndyGunFreak> nickrud: i may one of thesedays
[02:21] <dardack> ubotu: i've read all the help docs and even posted to forum still no help
[02:21] <cafuego> Jordan_U: Oh, it does it automatically now?
[02:21] <nickrud> IndyGunFreak, CategoryCleanup <--
[02:21] <Jordan_U> cafuego, Yes
[02:21] <unagi_> anyone here run awn?
[02:21] <Jordan_U> cafuego, As of Feisty
[02:21] <cafuego> Ha
[02:21] <brk3> Ta1: hm im afraid im not sure what the problem is so, ubuntu definatly doesnt block ports by default. are you running it on wine? maybe its just not very well supported..
[02:21] <Zack> K I have created the Folder but how do i save a File into the folder? When i click save it says I do not have permission
[02:21] <dardack> indygunfreak: thanks for link already read it, still no help
[02:21] <tovella> dardack: ask your question - ubotu is a "bot" - automated responses.
[02:22] <Ta1> no running on cedega and it is one of the fully supported games
[02:22] <shorto> Zack, did you chmod the folder?
[02:22] <brk3> Ta1: maybe you could try asking on the cedega support forums
[02:22] <Zack> Shorto: noo, How to?
[02:22] <Jordan_U> cafuego, And since it downloads the drivers and extracts them it is legal, while your way is technically not ( broadcom refuses to allow distribution of their firmware ) so it is the only way that Ubuntu can do it
[02:22] <Ta1> Speaking of WINE though.. anybody know why a gamepad would not work right in wine?  it works except it acts like it is always being pressed up....
[02:23] <Ta1> brk3: cedega forums aren't very useful..
[02:23] <cafuego> Jordan_U: Yeah, I know mine violates the licensing, just don't much care.
[02:23] <dardack> tovella, i see, um well every so often i get dropped for like 45 to 2 minutes and than comes back up, annoying when playing games, downloading, listen to music, etc.  i have pings going to my router and google. com and can show you what happens there when it happens, also my link signal during this time doubles, once comes back it goes back to normal, um and none of the logs in /var/log are changed when it occurs
[02:23] <cafuego> Jordan_U: I see forcing epople to use windows with your product as a far worse issue.
[02:24] <Jordan_U> cafuego, I have no problem with it :) But it just can't be an "official" solution :)
[02:24] <shorto> anyone 1337 enough to tell em how to kill the X window? :D
[02:24] <cafuego> Jordan_U: oh, sure <heh>
[02:24] <unagi_> anyone here run awn?
[02:24] <tovella> dardack: so this isn't an issue with getting it working, it's more a question of reliability?
[02:24] <dardack> tovella: yes, and its not regular intervals
[02:24] <Jordan_U> shorto, Do you mean an X window or all of X entirely?
[02:25] <Nwallins|home> Jordan_U: I think he wants to drop out of X to a terminal interface
[02:25] <Zack> How do i use "chmod" to create a File?
[02:25] <dardack> tovella: and i can't tell if it's only when i'm acutally doing something online, i've left the pings going when i'm away and when i scroll up as far as the terminal lets me i don't see any of the issue
[02:25] <nickrud> Zack, you use touch to create a file
[02:25] <shorto> Jordan_U, i belive entirely cuz i need to install geforce drivers :D
[02:25] <Nwallins|home> i've wondered the same thing, gdm seems to only shut down if you exit X
[02:25] <GoldeNArX> hey guys. i've got a uli5283 pci sata / raid controller.  standard drivers that come with ubuntu do recognize the sata controller but not the raid part.  drivers are available but for other distros fedora3, suse9, redhat9.  are any of those drivers going to work for me
[02:25] <unagi_> !awn
[02:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about awn - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:25] <cafuego> shorto: Can't you just use the Ubuntu packaged ones?
[02:25] <unagi_> !avant window manager
[02:26] <Zack> Nickrud: um, Explain on how to do that. In the terminal in a certain folder.
[02:26] <nickrud> Nwallins|home, ctl-alt-backspace, anywhen. Best done at the gdm login screen
[02:26] <unagi_> !avant-window-manager
[02:26] <nickrud> Zack, touch /path/to/file
[02:26] <Nwallins|home> nickrud: ah, yes -- now i remember -- thanks!
[02:26] <Zack> ok
[02:26] <shorto> cafuego, hmm if i knew that they existed earlyer i wouldt have asked :D are they awalible via apt-get?
[02:26] <Nwallins|home> shorto: try ctrl-alt-bkspc
[02:26] <cafuego> shorto: Yup, linux-restricted-modules and nvidia-glx
[02:26] <Jordan_U> shorto, Yes, also from System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager
[02:27] <Nwallins|home> nickrud: i like the old school login to terminal, then startx to load X
[02:27] <cafuego> shorto: install those, run 'sudo nvidia-glx-config enable', logout, hit ctrl-alt-backspace, login.
[02:27] <shorto> thank you
[02:27] <nickrud> Nwallins|home, I prefer use gdm to skip the login myself. Only person on this machine
[02:27] <tovella> dardack: an intermittent problem with wi-fi connectivity (or any intermittent problem, for that matter) is always the most difficult to troubleshoot.  it's possible that there are unresolved issues with the particular hardware you're using. which wi-fi device, & model of PC are we talking about?
[02:28] <andre_pereira> ZzZzZz
[02:28] <pha|con> dardack: just out of curiosity are you using a linksys wrtg54 router?  mine would drop randomly and i put a linux-based firmware on it and it cleared the problem up
[02:28] <dardack> tovella: the best buy brand pci wireless g, uses Arethos chipset   AR5005G 802.11abg NIC,
[02:29] <dardack> um
[02:29] <Nwallins|home> dardack: my wifi card or router would bomb out if I used bittorrent with default parameters -- forget what the fix was
[02:29] <dardack> pha|con: yes i am
[02:29] <dardack> i think the G one
[02:29] <shorto> Jordan_U,  with this linux-restricted-module do i need to install a specific version? i get a whole bunch of results :)
[02:29] <Zack> OK I got it to make a file but i cant edit it so i can put the code in that i need in it.
[02:29] <dardack> pha|con: never happned in windows tho
[02:29] <IndyGunFreak> those poor linksys wireless routers.
[02:29] <Jordan_U> shorto, Just get -generic and it will keep you up-to-date automatically
[02:29] <pha|con> dardack: sounds like what mine was doing.  dropped all wireless connections....windows linux and psp
[02:30] <shorto> thank you
[02:30] <hatter> what is the equivalent of dvdshrink for linux ?
[02:30] <IndyGunFreak> hatter: acidrip is good
[02:30] <dardack> pha|con: i'm saying it never happened in windows tho
[02:30] <pha|con> dardack: hmmm...if it's just specific to linux then flashing a new firmware on the router probably won't help
[02:30] <Jordan_U> shorto, Or just use System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager and make it one step :)
[02:30] <hatter> IndyGunFreak, thx
[02:30] <IndyGunFreak> hatter: there's others, but i like acidrip most.. ::dvdrip:: is ok to.
[02:31] <dardack> i am using the restricted driver, should i try ndiswrapper?
[02:31] <tovella> dardack: have a look this site: http://nosrednaekim.wordpress.com/tag/linux/kubuntu/
[02:31] <LinAsH> hatter, DVD95
[02:31] <IndyGunFreak> LinAsH: never tried that one.
[02:31] <VERTiG0> cafuego, are you still around?
[02:32] <tovella> dardack: there's a part that says, "Atheros support is broken for the AR5005G in Ubuntu."
[02:32] <LinAsH> hatter, also k9copy
[02:32] <shorto> thank you all for your help now it's reboot time :D
[02:32] <Zack> How can i do this plz
[02:33] <dardack> tovella: see i've read things like that and couldn't tell if that was to even get it to work, or like my problems.  Is there a place that walks me through uninstalling the built in Arethos drivers, i've gotten ndiswrapper to work on my laptop for my belkin, but i tried here and it gave me erros, mainly i think because i haven't figured out how to remove the arethos restricted drivers
[02:33] <WhoNeedszzz> Hi all, ever since I switched to Athalon 64 X2, my monitor won't display the terminal (ctrl+alt+F1), how do I fix this?
[02:33] <Zack> How can i save a file in my File System!!
[02:33] <Zack> ?
[02:33] <VERTiG0> Jordan_U or cafuego?  you guys there?
[02:33] <IndyGunFreak> Zack: is it a file youre downloading?
[02:34] <Jordan_U> VERTiG0, I am
[02:34] <VERTiG0> ah.
[02:34] <Zack> No i am trying to make a Mount command for my ipod
[02:34] <VERTiG0> well i've installed cafuego's stuff, and rebooted
[02:34] <IndyGunFreak> ok.
[02:34] <VERTiG0> and put in my wifi network SSID and wep key and stuff...
[02:34] <VERTiG0> yet no dice.
[02:34] <IndyGunFreak> so what file do you need to save for that?
[02:34] <brk3> anyone know of a greasemonkey script that lets you download from myspace..?
[02:34] <IndyGunFreak> brk3: no don't think so.
[02:34] <Zack> A .fdi file that i need to create but it will not let me save it.
[02:35] <IndyGunFreak> Zack: why not?
[02:35] <WhoNeedszzz> Zack, why would you even want to connect your ipod to linux?
[02:35] <Zack> it says that Permission Is Denied
[02:35] <Jordan_U> VERTiG0, Can you pastebin the output of: sudo modprobe bcm43xx
[02:35] <Zack> To listen to my music why else?
[02:36] <VERTiG0> Jordan_U, sure, let me switch back to my wired connection.
[02:36] <hatter> LinAsH, IndyGunFreak , cool, i will check them out, thx
[02:36] <IndyGunFreak> Zack: if its a long script, save it to your desktop, and then open a terminal, and  type "gksudo nautilus".. and navigate to the folder in question, and move the file there.
[02:36] <WhoNeedszzz> Zach, you do know you can just play music from windows in linux
[02:36] <Nwallins|home> WhoNeedszzz: also, iPods are handy, if not great, portable HDs
[02:36] <ketrox> Zack i connect my ipod tolinux everyday and i never had problem
[02:36] <tovella> dardack: the easiest solution might be to exchange it for a card that's known to work well with linux.
[02:36] <IndyGunFreak> Zack: if its not a long script, you can close w/o saving, open a terminal, type gksudo gedit... create the script, then save it in the appropriate folder.
[02:36] <WhoNeedszzz> anyone know about my display problem?
[02:36] <hatter> and what about firewire capture from the camera ?
[02:36] <Zack> Ok now that i have your attention, I am using Amarok and it says i need a Mount command
[02:37] <dardack> out of curiousity there is no way to run itunes on linux correct?
[02:37] <dardack> tovella: i wish, gonna try ndiswrapper, works great on my belkin, just need to figure out how to remove the built in driver
[02:37] <VERTiG0> Jordan_U, it does nothing.
[02:37] <Music_Shuffle> dardack, not that I know of
[02:37] <IndyGunFreak> Zack: that i can't help you with, but i will say this, when I had trouble getting my Ipod to mount in Amarok, it mounted perfectly with Rhythmbox
[02:37] <VERTiG0> i enter my pass and then it comes back with nothing, just back to a blank prompt
[02:37] <Zack> I just dont understand it the example is "Eject%d"
[02:37] <SAM_theman> Hello guys
[02:37] <Music_Shuffle> Hello
[02:38] <tovella> dardack: i'm not saying you can't get it working, but one way to end lots of frustration is to only buy from vendors who are linux friendly.
[02:38] <Zack> I tried Rythmbox but it will not convert to Acc
[02:38] <Zack> ACC
[02:38] <WhoNeedszzz> Zack, Amarok is fine
[02:38] <WhoNeedszzz> I am using it right now
[02:38] <ketrox> zack use gtkpod
[02:38] <Jordan_U> VERTiG0, Try setting your wireless card to "roaming mode" and then try the network manager applet
[02:38] <Zack> What is your mount code?
[02:38] <IndyGunFreak> Amarok is the best, but i don't know the mount command for an Ipod.
[02:38] <tovella> dardack: if i had an atheros card, i could try some things to help you more.
[02:38] <dardack> tovella: i know, but i read that it worked for people right out, so i got it, maybe that was earlier versions or something
[02:38] <h1st0> exit
[02:39] <dardack> well i know i have to blacklist the bcmx, but also i need to remove ath_pci and ath_hal and i don't know how to do that
[02:39] <Zack> IndyGunFreak: could you please go into your preferences and take a look for me?
[02:39] <IndyGunFreak> Zack: do you get the ipod icon on your desktop?...
[02:39] <IndyGunFreak> yeha, hang on.
[02:39] <VERTiG0> Jordan_U, the network manager applet?
[02:39] <hatter> does anyone know how to change the default window opening position in gnome so it doesnt open new windows in the centre of the screen ?
[02:39] <Jordan_U> VERTiG0, top right corner of the screen
[02:39] <Zack> IndyGunFreak: Yes i do
[02:39] <VERTiG0> i have to use the network manager applet to change the wifi connection to roaming, don't i?
[02:40] <Jordan_U> VERTiG0, No, that is System -> Administration -> Networking
[02:40] <VERTiG0> Jordan_U, you're a genius.
[02:40] <VERTiG0> it works.
[02:40] <TiMoZi> hey
[02:40] <WhoNeedszzz> hehe Zach, I just plugged in my ipod and it works finr
[02:41] <WhoNeedszzz> fine*
[02:41] <VERTiG0> wait, nope.
[02:41] <WhoNeedszzz> Zack*
[02:41] <VERTiG0> i have a 100% connection now
[02:41] <VERTiG0> but no pages work...
[02:43] <TiMoZi> does anybody know how to give the shell a background image?
[02:43] <craigbass1976> VERTiG0, Hey.  I'm back
[02:43] <WhoNeedszzz> Zack, a box should pop up and ask wheter you want to handle it or not, just drop down the list and click apple ipod
[02:43] <Zack> Whoneedszzz: Sync music to it and listen to it
[02:43] <Zack> I did click apple ipod
[02:43] <VERTiG0> hey craigbass1976.  we've got wired working, now we're working on my wifi :)
[02:43] <tovella> VERTiG0: try this from a terminal window: "sudo dhclient wlan0"
[02:43] <WhoNeedszzz> Zack, ok just did
[02:43] <craigbass1976> VERTiG0, what was the wired problem?  Wireless huh?  Glutton for punishment
[02:43] <LinAsH> TiMoZi, just go to Edit/Current Profile/Effects
[02:43] <Zack> did it play?
[02:43] <WhoNeedszzz> Zack, does it show in your devices tab?
[02:43] <Jordan_U> VERTiG0, Can you ping your router?
[02:43] <WhoNeedszzz> yes it plays
[02:43] <VERTiG0> craigbass1976, turns out that a port on my router doesn't like to talk to the internet.  but it works fine with my networked printer.
[02:43] <Zack> WNZ: no it doesnt
[02:43] <VERTiG0> so i merely switched their ports.
[02:43] <WhoNeedszzz> hmmm
[02:43] <Zack> It says i need to connect it and i need a mount code
[02:43] <intelikey> howto, read the cmos clock(rtc) from linux ?
[02:43] <VERTiG0> Jordan_U, network is unreachable.
[02:43] <TiMoZi> LinAsH: thanks, i dont mean the terminal x ap
[02:43] <craigbass1976> VERTiG0, I remember wondering about that.
[02:43] <IceOnly> hello
[02:43] <VERTiG0> tovella, no such device.
[02:43] <TiMoZi> the command line, bash.
[02:43] <IndyGunFreak> Zack: it says its mounted at /media/IPOD
[02:43] <WhoNeedszzz> Zack, remove it and reconnect
[02:44] <IceOnly> i have a question, did anybody nows how i change the video source in ffserver.conf?
[02:44] <WhoNeedszzz> with Amarok open
[02:44] <TiMoZi> ive seen some consoles with it
[02:44] <tovella> VERTiG0: how about "ifconfig"?  what device is shown for the wi-fi, then?
[02:44] <intelikey> TiMoZi with what ?
[02:44] <TiMoZi> background image
[02:44] <VERTiG0> tovella, eth0, eth1, eth1:avah, and lo
[02:45] <TiMoZi> the shell... before X is run
[02:45] <intelikey> TiMoZi frame buffering
[02:45] <VERTiG0> okay i have been asked for my WEP key about 10 times in the past 5 minutes
[02:45] <WhoNeedszzz> Zack...
[02:45] <Zack> It still dont work
[02:45] <VERTiG0> yet i keep inputting it correctly
[02:45] <TiMoZi> intelikey: is that what it's called?
[02:45] <WhoNeedszzz> go to synaptic and make sure all of your files are updated
[02:45] <dardack> can anyone tell me how to either remove or blacklist ath_pci ath_hal?
[02:45] <Zack> ok
[02:45] <LinAsH> TiMoZi, but you will have to recompil your kernel for this I think
[02:45] <intelikey> that's what facilitates it.    usplash is what you are asking about TiMoZi
[02:46] <VERTiG0> okay uh
[02:46] <tovella> VERTiG0: no wi-fi, huh? is your wired connection still plugged in?
[02:46] <VERTiG0> it miraculously works now.
[02:46] <Jordan_U> VERTiG0, Seems like a pattern :)
[02:46] <VERTiG0> no kidding!
[02:46] <intelikey> !usplash > TiMoZi
[02:46] <IceOnly> can anybody help me?
[02:46] <Zack> i marked all upgrades and theres nothing to upgrade
[02:47] <tovella> IceOnly: only i might be able to help you, if you say what your problem is.
[02:47] <WhoNeedszzz> ok
[02:47] <Jordan_U> !anybody | IceOnly
[02:47] <ubotu> IceOnly: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[02:47] <Ktravaglini> I am now away - Grad practive - Left at 17:47:32
[02:47] <WhoNeedszzz> Zack, go to the devices tab in Amarok
[02:47] <IceOnly> i wont to stream my webcam with ffserver
[02:48] <IceOnly> put it will open /dev/video and not /dev/video1
[02:48] <Zack> ok
[02:48] <WhoNeedszzz> Zack, at the top under the menu bar, click connect
[02:48] <TiMoZi> intelikey: ok, thanks!
[02:48] <Zack> i did
[02:48] <intelikey> /dev/vidio should be a symlink to /dev/vidio?   you can change the symlink
[02:48] <Zack> it askes for a "Pre-connect command"
[02:49] <WhoNeedszzz> ok
[02:49] <WhoNeedszzz> i got it
[02:49] <tovella> IceOnly: make a symlink to it like this: sudo ln -s /dev/video1 /dev/video
[02:49] <IndyGunFreak> Zack: i just had that problem with my Ipod i can tell youhow i fixed it.
[02:49] <WhoNeedszzz> Zack, go to configure amarok
[02:49] <Zack> YES
[02:49] <IndyGunFreak> Zack: settings Menu/Configure Amarok.
[02:49] <IndyGunFreak> then click on Media Devices
[02:49] <WhoNeedszzz> heh
[02:49] <Zack> ok got it
[02:49] <WhoNeedszzz> same thing i was going to tell him
[02:49] <Zack> ok
[02:49] <IndyGunFreak> where it says Plugin, in the pulldown menu, choose apple ipod
[02:49] <IndyGunFreak> then apply/ok
[02:50] <IndyGunFreak> it should mount it for you
[02:50] <intelikey> so     anyone know how to read the (rtc) from linux ?
[02:50] <SAM_theman> Why the heck it takes so long to download a 5.9mb file on apt-get ??? I am on a 1.5mbs
[02:50] <Zack> lets see
[02:50] <brk3> IndyGunFreak: just in case someone asks that myspace question again :) http://myspacevalley.com
[02:50] <Jordan_U> SAM_theman, The mirror you are using is slow?
[02:50] <IndyGunFreak> brk3: ok.
[02:50] <SAM_theman> wow
[02:50] <Zack> dfkjlfjld, CRASH
[02:50] <IndyGunFreak> crash?
[02:50] <WhoNeedszzz> is there a prog in linux to put music on an ipod>?
[02:50] <Zack> crash handler came up
[02:50] <tovella> IndyGunFreak: i think hwclock does that.
[02:50] <pak33m> help! i cannot access System->Admin->Users and Groups, Network or Services
[02:51] <SAM_theman> WhoNeedszzz, nano video??
[02:51] <IndyGunFreak> WhoNeedszzz: yes, Amarok, Banshee, GTkpod, and a couple others i think
[02:51] <Jordan_U> pak33m, Do you have admin rights to use sudo?
[02:51] <intelikey> nobody ?
[02:51] <WhoNeedszzz> IndyGunFreak, Amarok will put music on?
[02:51] <Zack> It says "knotify" crashed
[02:51] <IndyGunFreak> WhoNeedszzz: yes.
[02:51] <WhoNeedszzz> IndyGunFreak, how?
[02:51] <pak33m> yes i have checked the /etc/groups file
[02:51] <IndyGunFreak> Zack: sorry, i don't use KDE, those terms are foriegn to me
[02:51] <WhoNeedszzz> lol
[02:51] <shorto> Jordan_U, tnx for those tips works fine now :)
[02:51] <WhoNeedszzz> IndyGunFreak, nvm
[02:51] <zaskhya> i dont understand how to install my printer pixma 1500 and 1700
[02:52] <Zack> I dont know what it is either!
[02:52] <Jordan_U> shorto, np
[02:52] <tovella> intelikey: i think hwclock does that.
[02:52] <zaskhya> pls help me
[02:52] <IndyGunFreak> Zack: well, KDE is the devil, as you're finding out..lol
[02:52] <Zack> HEY! i just closed it and reopended and it worked
[02:52] <IndyGunFreak> Zack: well, go figure.. good
[02:52] <Jordan_U> zaskhya, Is it listed in System -> Administration -> Printing ?
[02:52] <WhoNeedszzz> Zack, use xfce
[02:52] <Zack> lets see if it syncs
[02:52] <intelikey> tovella well i thought it did but if so it's wrong and i just set the clock in bios before boot
[02:53] <Zack> how do i get that?
[02:53] <WhoNeedszzz> Zack, xubuntu
[02:53] <IndyGunFreak> Zack: lol
[02:53] <shorto> now another question: i have a sound controller option on my keyboard, the bar seems to go up and down but nothing happens what could be the problem?
[02:53] <IndyGunFreak> sudo aptitude install xfce-desktop
[02:53] <intelikey> tovella is there no way to read the device dirrectly ?
[02:53] <Zack> joy
[02:53] <tovella> intelikey: there is, but i don't remember... let me check.
[02:53] <pak33m> intelikey: yes i have checked the /etc/groups file
[02:53] <IndyGunFreak> KDE just sucks, to slow, and to kiddy lookin.
[02:53] <Zack> isnt xubunt the light version of ubuntu
[02:53] <Zack> ?
[02:54] <Jordan_U> IndyGunFreak, the package name is xubuntu-desktop
[02:54] <zaskhya> but the series of pixma 1500 and 1700 is not on list, its just have pixma 2000
[02:54] <IndyGunFreak> Zack: yeah, but hte GUI is 100% better than KDE.... it really doesn't matter what your hardware is.
[02:54] <WhoNeedszzz> xubuntu is ubuntu with xfce
[02:54] <IndyGunFreak> Jordan_U: thanks for the correction.
[02:54] <Jordan_U> IndyGunFreak, You must be a Debian User :)
[02:54] <WhoNeedszzz> hence the x
[02:54] <IndyGunFreak> Jordan_U: lol
[02:54] <Zack> why dont they use it on the Main ubuntu?
[02:54] <tovella> intelikey: The time shown is always in local time, even if you keep your Hardware Clock in Coordinated Universal Time.
[02:54] <IndyGunFreak> Jordan_U: what makes you say that?
[02:55] <WhoNeedszzz> Zack, who knows
[02:55] <Jordan_U> IndyGunFreak, I think that is the package name in debian :)
[02:55] <tovella> intelikey: it is hwclock.
[02:55] <Zack> jeez, well lets see if this worked
[02:55] <VERTiG0> Okay, I've got a totally stupid question.  my task bar at the bottom has somehow, with my stupidity, moved everything to the far right and has become really small.
[02:55] <IndyGunFreak> Jordan_U: it might be.. never really looked, but yes, i have debian on my laptop
[02:55] <intelikey> tovella so short answer is no.  no way to read it dirrectly,   k  thanks.
[02:55] <Zack> Whoneedszzz: I clicked Disconnect and it said the "unmount command failed"
[02:55] <WhoNeedszzz> ever since I switched to Athalon 64 X2, my monitor won't display the terminal (ctrl+alt+F1), how do I fix this?
[02:56] <WhoNeedszzz> use xfce
[02:56] <IndyGunFreak> Control alt delete
[02:56] <tovella> intelikey: it DOES read it directly, what it shows will be the localtime.
[02:56] <WhoNeedszzz> it will fix it
[02:56] <IndyGunFreak> Zack: right click the IPod icon on your desktop, choose unmount.. then just close amarok.
[02:56] <IndyGunFreak> that happens to me to.
[02:57] <WhoNeedszzz> IndyGunFreak, ctrl+alt+delete locks the computer
[02:57] <IndyGunFreak> WhoNeedszzz: really? ;)
[02:57] <IndyGunFreak> WhoNeedszzz: force of habit, its how i fixed everything under Windows.
[02:57] <WhoNeedszzz> lol
[02:57] <WhoNeedszzz> u mean WinBLOWS
[02:57] <WhoNeedszzz> ;)
[02:57] <Zack> IndyGunfreak: i thought about that but is there a way to fix it in Amarok?
[02:58] <WhoNeedszzz> Zack, just use xfce, all of your problems will be solved
[02:58] <IndyGunFreak> Zack: hmm, maybe, but not that i know of, as long as you unmount it, you can close amarok w/o issue.
[02:58] <lo4fer> i have my windows ntfs partition mounted and am able to browse it in nautilus. question is, eh, i guess a windows question but here goes: where is c:\ located in this windows partition (has xp operatin  system installed on it)?
[02:58] <alliecat> So if I have a question about LaTeX and I'm kind of a noob is there anyone here who can help me out at all or should I look up another channel?
[02:58] <IndyGunFreak> actually Zack reverse that..
[02:59] <IndyGunFreak> close amarok(make sure its not in system tray), then unmount the ipod.
[02:59] <Jordan_U> lo4fer, Your windows partition is "C:"
[02:59] <tritium> alliecat: it's offtopic for this channel, but you may /query me with questions
[02:59] <IndyGunFreak> you'll get a "safe to disconnect" notice.. at least I do in Gnome.
[02:59] <WhoNeedszzz> lo4fer, /medis/sda(or hda)2
[02:59] <Zack> ok, and whoneedszz: your talking to a noooooooobie i dont know what that is! i wanna learn this system tho
[02:59] <WhoNeedszzz> Zack, do the command IndyGunFreak gave you
[02:59] <alliecat> well, it's about texlive and texmaker in ubuntu feisty but still yeah, ok.
[03:00] <tritium> alliecat: then it's not so offtopic
[03:00] <Zack> Ok i got it
[03:00] <Zack> IT WORKS
[03:00] <lo4fer> thanks whoneeds, i just realized what a stupid question it is: that partition IS the c drive. the folder i wanted, which is a subdirectory of c:
[03:00] <IndyGunFreak> joy joy
[03:00] <Zack> Haleloua, however you spell that
[03:00] <lo4fer> is right there at top level (sorry accidentally hit enter there)
[03:00] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[03:00] <Zack> Gracias
[03:00] <Zack> Later
[03:01] <zaskhya> pls help me
[03:01] <Kinks> raor.
[03:01] <alliecat> God I'm going to sound stupid but I have no idea how to make texmaker find the packages in a directory.
[03:01] <alliecat> So I can't build a document.
[03:01] <lo4fer> here's another basic question: where's a suitable place for creating a folder to place some ubuntu .iso's to share on bittorrent?
[03:01] <Jordan_U> zaskhya, Ask your question, if anyone can help they will
[03:01] <lo4fer> or will bittorrent just create a folder when install it?
[03:02] <tritium> alliecat: ubuntu packages?
[03:02] <alliecat> they are latex packages
[03:02] <tritium> alliecat: installed through the repos, or installed by hand?
[03:02] <alliecat> http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/TeXLive_and_Texmaker <--- I used those directions to install texlive and texmaker on my system.
[03:03] <EADG> lo4fer: In your home dir... /home/lo4fer for ex.
[03:03] <zaskhya> i want to ask about printer instalation on ubuntu, i am newer
[03:03] <tritium> alliecat: you should have installed the ubuntu texlive package, and saved yourself a lot of hassle
[03:03] <alliecat> but texmaker kept looking for the files in the old windows directory from when I started my thesis in Windows.
[03:03] <alliecat> tritium: Actually I went ahead and did that after it was looking for the files in the Windows dir.
[03:03] <alliecat> i did an apt-get
[03:03] <Jordan_U> zaskhya, Go to System -> Administration -> Printing, then click on New Printer
[03:04] <zaskhya> my printer is pixma 1500 and 1700 is not on the list
[03:04] <alliecat> And now it's no longer looking in the Windows directory, but it just plain can't find the packages, which are there on the other texlive install.
[03:04] <BloodyTux> soooo
[03:04] <tritium> alliecat: sounds like you're including or inputing some .tex files with old windows path
[03:04] <BloodyTux> anyone use pidgin? is it good?
[03:05] <alliecat> tritium: It's not doing that anymore though, since I installed hte ubuntu texlive package.
[03:05] <IndyGunFreak> BloodyTux: pidgin rocks.. it kills kopete
[03:05] <tritium> alliecat: you installed those texlive package from the ubuntu repos, or from the directions you gave the URL to above?
[03:05] <tritium> alliecat: what's the "other texlive install" you mention above?
[03:05] <alliecat> First I used the ones from the above URL. Then to troubleshoot I tried just installing the package from the ubuntu repos
[03:05] <Jordan_U> zaskhya, You might try the drivers closest to your model
[03:05] <alliecat> And removing the other one.
[03:06] <IndyGunFreak> BloodyTux: but if you dont' want to compile it, just stick with Gaim till Gutsy is released with Pidgin, there's not that much difference
[03:06] <tritium> alliecat: which packages, in particular?
[03:06] <wes_1977> is there a package i can install that will allow me to select a window (terminal for example) and set it to an 800x600 (or other common) size?
[03:06] <K-Ryan> Hi guys
[03:06] <alliecat> I just did an apt-get texlive
[03:06] <tritium> wes_1977: many programs will take the --geometry option from the cli
[03:06] <K-Ryan> How can I terminate a process that needs root?
[03:07] <zaskhya> how about pixma 2000 is that the right driver?
[03:07] <wes_1977> what is the best quality screen recording application available for ubuntu? I'm trying to record high quality screencasts
[03:07] <LinAsH> wes_1977, what for? web development?
[03:07] <tritium> alliecat: yes, but what other LaTeX packages are you using?
[03:07] <lo4fer> drat. bittorrent looks to have been installed by default in feisty, i have now added the package bittorrent-gui. how do i run either of these confounded programs. tried bittorrent and bitttorrent-gui from command line.
[03:07] <alliecat> oh, well the one it can't find is the very first one referenced cite.sty
[03:07] <wes_1977> LinAsH :: for screen casts ... I only want to capture video in an 800x600 box on my 1400x900 desktop
[03:07] <alliecat> I don't even know where to begin in pointing it in the right direction to find it.
[03:07] <alliecat> The file is there.
[03:08] <wx> us
[03:08] <tritium> alliecat: the texlive package doesn't install _everything_.  You may need other packages to get what you need, such as cite
[03:08] <alliecat> I've written a considerable amount of my thesis and am having problems with actually viewing a .pdf of it which is somewhat impeding my progress on the whole matter XD
[03:09] <holycow> hi alliecat
[03:09] <alliecat> Yeah, but I do have the packages elsewhere. I kept the dir where all the packages were from the texlive iso I got from the URL I mentioned previously.
[03:09] <goldbond> hi, what should the mount point of the swap partition be?
[03:09] <alliecat> Hello holycow.
[03:09] <Jordan_U> alliecat, Ubuntu can open pdf files, or did it not render correctly?
[03:09] <LinAsH> goldbond, nowhere
[03:10] <alliecat> Oh no, that's not a problem at all -- I can't even build the sucker!
[03:10] <goldbond> thank
[03:10] <holycow> goldbond, just label it swap during install, goldbond you won't  be a ble to access it from your sysytem tho, only kernel has access to it
[03:10] <tritium> alliecat: use the ubuntu packages.  You could always install texlive-full to be on the safe side
[03:10] <alliecat> Because the latex packages are in the wrong place
[03:10] <niuq> hello where can i get some documentation for using gftp?
[03:10] <holycow> if i remember alliecat knows more than most of us about ubuntu/debian
[03:10] <alliecat> haha no
[03:10] <alliecat> you got the wrong kitty
[03:10] <tritium> niuq: all packages store documentation under /usr/share/doc/<packagename>
[03:10] <holycow> well hi anyway
[03:10] <holycow> hehe
[03:11] <holycow> what is the problem exactly? pdfs should at least try to open, do they render?
[03:11] <niuq> tritium: thank you man
[03:11] <holycow> have you tried multiple pdf clients?
[03:11] <alliecat> I'm a noob to this distro and to Linux in general, but have been using UNIX based systems for quite some time.
[03:11] <tritium> holycow: first he has to build them properly with LaTeX
[03:11] <alliecat> she ;)
[03:11] <alliecat> But yeah
[03:11] <tritium> alliecat: sorry ;)
[03:11] <alliecat> I am not building it correctly yet!
[03:11] <holycow> aha right
[03:11] <holycow> its a latex export then? oh right
[03:12] <alliecat> Using LaTeX for my thesis
[03:12] <tritium> holycow: not exactly, but sort of
[03:12] <craigbass1976> what is an evms.engine.log ?
[03:12] <alliecat> Because open office isn't really very good for it.
[03:12] <tritium> alliecat: good choice ;)
[03:12] <holycow> we are going to sponsor an extension for oo that will show where styles start and end
[03:12] <holycow> we have that problem too
[03:12] <roho> alliecat: are you female? <G>
[03:13] <alliecat> haha I shouldn't let that on. I've been on the internet long enough to know better
[03:13] <alliecat> I'm installing the texlive-full
[03:13] <tritium> roho: should konw better...
[03:13] <Stormx2> o.O
[03:13] <wes_1977> what is the best quality screen recording application available for ubuntu? I'm trying to record high quality screencasts
[03:13] <Zawk> after doing a Console Login, how can I go about getting the graphical login back? Whenever I restart the Ubuntu progress bar shows up and once it finishes it goes straight to the command line. I tried startx, which works, but I'd rather go straight to X :)
[03:14] <tritium> !best
[03:14] <ubotu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[03:14] <Stormx2> wes_1977: Check out recordMyDesktop, that can record lossless if need be.
[03:14] <tritium> Zawk: sudo telinit 2.  how did you disable graphical login?
[03:14] <Cristian29> exit
[03:14] <tritium> Zawk: did you chmod -x /etc/init.d/gdm?  If so, you'll need to chmod +x it now
[03:15] <alliecat> :o
[03:15] <craigbass1976> !evms
[03:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about evms - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:15] <santi> can anyone help me about intalling amsn ?
[03:15] <Zac1> Santi: all you need is Gaim
[03:15] <Zawk> tritium, I didn't disable it. I went to the login screen (KDE's) and hit Console Login so I could install some drivers w/o X running.
[03:15] <tritium> santi: it's in the repos.  sudo apt-get install amsn
[03:16] <Zac1> I actually found it easier to use than amsn.
[03:16] <tritium> Zawk: I see
[03:16] <roho> tritium: yeah, i do.  i was kidding.  i just admire that people still use latex
[03:16] <Zawk> tritium, after that it wouldn't go back to graphics. I'll try that chmod thing though.
[03:16] <santi> but i want the newest one
[03:16] <tritium> roho: it's still a standard in academia, and nothing produces mathematics as beautifully as TeX
[03:16] <SAM_theman> !firefox
[03:16] <ubotu> firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins
[03:17] <tritium> roho: it's also a standard in scientific and engineering journals, as well as other fields
[03:17] <roho> tritium: yeah, i remember reading that in the faq.  what is the front-end for latex?
[03:17] <santi> !amsn
[03:17] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about amsn - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:17] <alliecat> Yeah, I'm in the Genetics field.
[03:17] <tritium> roho: there is no standard front end.
[03:17] <akromyk> what is the equivalent of "tracert"
[03:17] <roho> roho: well how about just naming one?
[03:17] <roho> akromyk: traceroute
[03:17] <alliecat> Unfortunately nobody in my field has any idea how to use LaTeX at all and I have to put it into an editable .pdf file for them
[03:17] <akromyk> thanks
[03:18] <alliecat> so they can make changes for me
[03:18] <roho> heh
