[04:42] <ompaul> [nrx] , what does that program do - some of use do not ever run that other thing
[04:42] <stefg> [nrx] : google for cdemu
[04:42] <[nrx] > ompaul: in windows, it creates virtual drives on the system.. it allows you to 'mount' iso's etc and have them treated as cdrom drives
[04:42] <[nrx] > stefg: thanks
[04:43] <marlun> ubuntu tells me a song is 8min and windows tells me it's 3...hmmm
[04:43] <ompaul> [nrx] , he meant qemu :) and I will now give you two command lines and you can work out how to use them
[04:43] <[nrx] > lol ok
[04:43] <prana> erUSUL, ubotu says there are some compatibility issues with webmin but ia m using it without any problem if you interested  you can try

[04:44] <ompaul> [nrx] , for creating a "virtual drive first do this" qemu-img create Something.img 256M ( where the 256 is part of your ram)
[04:44] <stefg> marlun: that's prolly a VBR encoded song
[04:44] <[nrx] > ompaul: k
[04:44] <dwxreaper> how do I list what starts up on boot with ubuntu

[04:45] <marlun> stefg, don't know what that is :/
[04:45] <erUSUL> prana: i'm only concerned about recomending software that it's not supported.
[04:45] <vibhor> Hi, I have installed Ubuntu 7.04 along with some packages i need on one of the nodes of my cluster, i want to copy the same configurations to the rest of the nodes. Please help me out on what to do?
[04:45] <lerio_> ompaul, now i can see the loaded drivers and etc but is there any way i can also see boot splash?
[04:45] <ompaul> [nrx] , then qemu -cdrom /path/file.iso -hda ./Something.img -m 256m -boot d   << the d is there   {hda is disk one and real location}and there are lots of funky things yiou can do
[04:45] <dwxreaper> how do I tell what services will start?
[04:45] <vootele> hello there
[04:46] <vootele> seeking for hel
[04:46] <vootele> help
[04:46] <ompaul> lerio, not with the ubuntu splash
[04:46] <Lyv> does anybody know where to find a deb for gridwars?
[04:46] <lerio_> ompaul, ya i see but no boot splash
[04:46] <GNine> my acpi reports a -267 degrees operating temp.  i need a command line to fix that. i know its wrong because am not in pluto (as in the 9th planet)
[04:46] <vootele> how to get bluetooth pairing working
[04:46] <Lyv> found, in case anybodyis interested: http://www.getdeb.net/app.php?name=GridWars+2
[04:47] <stefg> marlun: variable bit rate. mp3 is proprietary, so i think your linux player only looks at the bitrate at the beginning of the song and extrapolates the length. windows might have a different approach and knows how to calculate lengths on varaible bitrate files
[04:47] <dwxreaper> how do I tell what services will start?
[04:47] <ompaul> lerio_, I told you how to disable it, you have some funny monitor where it is not showing from what you said eariler
[04:47] <ompaul> lerio_, have a look at your possible settings for grub
[04:48] <Wipster> whats a decent visual IDE program for linux, I guess for C++ no idea whats commonly used to make programs for gnome... any suggestions?
[04:48] <GNine> !python
[04:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about python - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[04:48] <GNine> blah
[04:49] <lerio_> ompaul, can i set my boot resolution to lower? and how
[04:49] <ompaul> lerio_, I never had to so I imagine it is a grub setting
[04:49] <ompaul> lerio_, I guess you got to explore now :) I got you from nothing to something it is all I can do
[04:50] <GNine> boot resolution?   ha
[04:50] <autodidakt> hi, i have nvidia drivers installed on faisty 64 bit. everything works fine but because auf inputlag i'd like to deaktivate vsync. i guess there has to be someting in xorg.conf ?
[04:50] <[nrx] > ompaul: thanks :)
[04:50] <ompaul> [nrx] , np
[04:50] <dwxreaper> how do I list what services will start with ubuntu?

[04:51] <Kresjah> Hey! I need some help here, if anyone can spare some time. Please take into account that I'm rather fresh to linux.  I'm trying to get my GL working on my old Ati Mobility M1 card. I am currently trying to configure xf86-video-ati-6.7.192, but I get the following error:
[04:51] <ompaul> lerio_, I told ay, I actually don't know how, if you find out tell me and I will show you where to document it
[04:52] <Chris82> hi there :) I have a little problem installing ubuntu
[04:52] <Wipster> I guess Anjuta looks prety good....
[04:52] <lerio_> ompaul, ok tnx very much
[04:52] <Kresjah> Requested 'xorg-server >= 1.3' but version of xorg-server is 1.2.0
[04:52] <Chris82> I downloaded ubuntu 7.04 i386 cd image and do the graphical install
[04:52] <oscuro> Hi everybody, I can't see .wmv videos on ubuntu, they're imposible to view coz of they appear, or very slow, or like pieces, only the audio works fine I think. I installed all the codecs from automatix, so I don't know what to do, thanks for any help.
[04:52] <Kresjah> Pretty obvious that my xorg-server is out of date, but I have no idea where to go from here to get it further
[04:52] <Chris82> and I'd like to know where I can choose in which partition Grub/Lilo or whatever ubuntu installs is installed
[04:52] <stefg> !automatix | oscuro
[04:52] <ubotu> oscuro: Automatix2 is a block of code which attempts to install some software.  When it fails and breaks systems, we don't provide support for it.  A creditable analysis from a debian/ubuntu developer is here - http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html (Additional information: /msg ubotu worksforme)
[04:53] <Chris82> if I use the default setup options it will be installed in MBR I fear and the Vista bootloaded will be destroeyed
[04:53] <svg> Hi - I somehow got my gconf data messed up - A couple of days ago I experimentec with the files beneath <home>/.gconf/, and I only noticed the mess when logging out and back in today - AFAIS the goog config is in .gconf/%gconf.xml but gconf now uses .gconf/<subdirs>/%gconf.xml
[04:53] <GNine> muahahah
[04:53] <GNine> it will
[04:54] <GNine> but fear not.. ubuntu plays well with windows in dual boot setups
[04:54] <neil_feisty> !gutsy
[04:54] <ubotu> Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1
[04:54] <Chris82> well ;) I know better
[04:54] <dwxreaper> stefg: i read that, I just want a command that says what will start
[04:54] <Chris82> I just did the setup and ubuntu killed the partition table
[04:54] <Chris82> so I had to boot from the Vista DVD to repair it and boot into Vista again
[04:54] <bentlegen> does anyone know how to install mysql4 via apt-get *without* installing mysql5?
[04:54] <Chris82> I don't want to use Grub I will use the Vista bootloader to boot ubuntu
[04:54] <peeps_work> strange, i just tried to select some text from gnome terminal to copy, and ALL of my open gnome terminal windows disappeared
[04:54] <dwxreaper> like going to services in windows, sorting on started or whatever, there is nothing that simple?
[04:55] <GNine> well.. that also depends on your install method.. i did a live cd and then i killed windows later.. all me
[04:55] <Chris82> but I don't find an option in the setup where I can modify any bootloader options... I can't even select the packages that are being installed
[04:55] <vibhor>  @ ubotu is there any way to clone an ubunutu installation so as to copy onto the each machine in a cluster?
[04:55] <stefg> dwxreaper: this is not windows.... get educated
[04:55] <monstar-1> can someone tell me whats the name in Italy for greencard? Thanks a lot
[04:55] <Chris82> I am doing a live cd setup as well
[04:55] <voLtaGe`> how to uninstall utorrent?? :(
[04:55] <dwxreaper> stefg: lol don't be an idiot
[04:55] <lnx_> i use mono to write and compile c# code , and every time i open new project i need to check "open on external" console , i can set mono to check it by default ?
[04:56] <dwxreaper> stefg: you justify linux's shortcomings by saying get educated?
[04:56] <autodidakt> *push* :)  i have nvidia drivers installed on faisty 64 bit. everything works fine but because auf inputlag i'd like to deaktivate vsync. i guess there has to be someting in xorg.conf ?
[04:56] <dwxreaper> nice one
[04:56] <Chris82> hmmm is there a good community forum maybe? this chat is not of much help ;)
[04:56] <peeps_work> dwxreaper, there is System-> Preferences -> Sessions, which shows which apps to load once you are in gnome.  that's not really services though
[04:56] <stefg> dwxreaper: serious.... THIS IS NOT WINDOWS!!! understand run levels and upstart, then you'll know why your putting a stupid question
[04:56] <Chris82> /server irc.oftc.net
[04:56] <dwxreaper> stefg: yes you are saying there is no command that will just say that, I don't care what starts on what event
[04:57] <dug_> take it easy stefg
[04:57] <Chris82> lol doesn't seem to work here this command
[04:57] <dwxreaper> there should be one command, if not it's a failure, and not easy to use

[04:57] <Shaba2> Hello folk. I am temporarlily running xubuntu on a laptop until my desktop gets fixed. Is there a way I can see how much battery life I have left on this laptop?
[04:57] <dwxreaper> gnine: sometimes, i'm a network engineer
[04:57] <airstrike> we're here to help, not to cure your frustration
[04:58] <lalali> hi. in doubt whether to use ubuntu 6 or 7. ubuntu web page download options say 6 is LTS, but 7 is only supported until 2008. Does this mean version 7 will not get package updates after 2008?
[04:58] <dwxreaper> all I know is I keep seeing places where windows is better, and you guys get all pissy when I ask how to do something windows is better at
[04:58] <dug_> dwxreaper: ls /etc/init.d shows startup scripts and programs
[04:58] <Chris82> full ack @dwxreaper
[04:58] <GNine> ok.. networks dont have a OS system tag on it.. so dont call failures on code you dont know jack about
[04:58] <Chris82> that's why no one is using Linux ;)
[04:58] <yaser> suddenly Evolution doesnt refresh messages any more, any idea?
[04:59] <dwxreaper> dug: yes I was wondering if I could just list the scripts in that dir, and that's what started
[04:59] <jimcooncat> Chris82: Why not use vista's bootloader?
[04:59] <airstrike> there surely are places where windows is doing better
[04:59] <airstrike> but there are -lots- of things that linux does better
[04:59] <Chris82> jimcooncat: I want to
[04:59] <gordonjcp> dwxreaper: if you look in /etc/init.d/ you should get an idea of what it's going to try and start
[04:59] <airstrike> and i think you forgot the fact that linux is free
[04:59] <Chris82> but ubuntu doesn't allow me to install the OS without installing its bootloaded to the MBR
[04:59] <tiddi> what is the best thing to use to extract .rar files?
[04:59] <mc44> lalali: you probably want to use the latest version, unless you don't want to upgrade regularly
[04:59] <Chris82> there are 0 options to configure anything
[04:59] <airstrike> Chris82, windows would do the same
[04:59] <tiddi> archive manager says it does not support it
[04:59] <airstrike> Chris82, you can use grub to restore it
[04:59] <Chris82> all I can do is select the install partition and username, that's like a Windows setup lol
[04:59] <vibhor> anyone has idea on cloning ubuntu installations? please help I am fairly new to linux ......
[04:59] <Chris82> I expected a little more :p
[05:00] <eNtRoPiA> people
[05:00] <jimcooncat> Chris82: sure it will, I do that on my installs
[05:00] <eNtRoPiA> any one can help me with  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37689/
[05:00] <yaser> tiddi, sudo apt-get install rar
[05:00] <dwxreaper> gordon: so look in there, to get an idea, then based on events some might not start, so once booted, check the process list?
[05:00] <lalali> mc44, I do want to keep my system up-to-date, and I'd prefer not to have to reinstall the OS every 6 months.
[05:00] <Chris82> well grub shows an entry "Windows Vista"
[05:00] <tiddi> tnx yaser
[05:00] <gordonjcp> Chris82: use the advanced install C
[05:00] <Chris82> but when I select it the PC just reboots
[05:00] <doug_> whn i do ./configure iget this configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[05:00] <doug_> See `config.log' for more details.
[05:00] <gordonjcp> Chris82: CD, even
[05:00] <airstrike> lalali, you won't be reinstalling it, just upgrading
[05:00] <Chris82> how can I run the advanced install?
[05:00] <mc44> lalali: you don't have to reinstall, you can just upgrade
[05:00] <gordonjcp> Chris82: get the alternatives CD
[05:00] <yaser> tiddi, yw
[05:00] <autodidakt> *push* :)  i have nvidia drivers installed on faisty 64 bit. everything works fine but because auf inputlag i'd like to deaktivate vsync. i guess there has to be someting in xorg.conf ?
[05:00] <gladiatr> greetings.  I have a quick question: how do I disable TCP and IP checksum offloading?
[05:00] <Chris82> alright thanks :)
[05:00] <Chris82> downloading the advanced DVD then
[05:00] <mc44> lalali: LTS only gets security updates
[05:01] <dug_> vibhor: you can use a program like dd to copy a whole hard drive to another one, or else google for 'remastering ubuntu cd' to essentially create a cd based on your own installation
[05:01] <Chris82> CD I mean
[05:01] <gordonjcp> Chris82: I'll warn you now, if you don't like complex texty command-line stuff, you won't like this
[05:01] <doug_> can someone run me through the install of pidgin 2.2.0
[05:01] <airstrike> sudo apt-get install pidgin
[05:01] <vibhor> thanks for the help dug_
[05:01] <mc44> Chris82: there are lots of guides for dual booting with vista around
[05:01] <lalali> mc44, airstrike : upgrade from a CD? LTS then for using ubuntu on a server os better choice, but version 7 for desktop, right ?
[05:01] <lalali> *is
[05:01] <dug_> doug_: if you haven't already, install the 'build-essential' package.  if you have that, you may also need the linux-headers for your kernel version
[05:01] <mc44> Chris82: windows doesn't play nice with the MBR, not linux :P
[05:01] <Chris82> gordonjcp: I don't like Linux anyway and will stick to Vista, I just want to test some things on Linux and need a customized install
[05:02] <Chris82> no standard Windows-like install
[05:02] <yaser> is there already published the exact date of Ubuntu Gutsy final release?
[05:02] <airstrike> lalali, i don't really have any experience with ubuntu on servers (nor do i think it is known as the ideal option for linux distros running on servers), but LTS would definitely be better
[05:02] <jimcooncat> Chris82: you should probably run it in vmware or similar then
[05:02] <mc44> lalali: yes, for a desktop you probably want the latest version
[05:02] <Chris82> can I burn a cd with the live cd so I don't need to boot back to Vista just to get the alternate CD ?
[05:02] <Chris82> no I can't run 3D Apps with Wine in vmware unfortunately
[05:02] <airstrike> Chris82, good luck with incompatibility with old software.. and finding a crack for vista if you haven't purchased your copy
[05:03] <airstrike> or stealthy automatic updates
[05:03] <Chris82> I have purchased it
[05:03] <lalali> mc44, airstrike Right on! Thanks a lot guys. :-)
[05:03] <GNine> echo -n "65:60:50:55:50:45" > /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/trip_points

[05:03] <Chris82> I don't use illegal software :p
[05:03] <airstrike> or running on 400mb ram when idle
[05:03] <dgjones> yaser, i'd guess its 18th October, thats when a number of ubuntu groups seem to be having release parties
[05:03] <GNine> heh
[05:03] <yaser> dgjones, ok tnaks
[05:03] <Chris82> actually Vista uses 3,5 GB Ram when idle
[05:03] <Chris82> because it caches all my appz :p
[05:03] <autodidakt> *push* :)  i have nvidia drivers installed on faisty 64 bit. everything works fine but because auf inputlag i'd like to deaktivate vsync. i guess there has to be someting in xorg.conf ?
[05:03] <airstrike> that's so not efficient
[05:03] <oscuro> so, any help about how can I play .wmv vids alright, they all look slow in here.
[05:04] <Chris82> well then show me how your computer opens Photoshop in 4 seconds
[05:04] <airstrike> oscuro, do you have your video card drivers installed correctly?
[05:04] <bentlegen> does anyone know how to install mysql4 via apt-get *without* installing mysql5?
[05:04] <Chris82> or a program that can do similar things on Linux
[05:04] <stefg> autodidakt: sudo nvidia-settings
[05:04] <airstrike> it usually doesn't take much more than 5 seconds to open photoshop on vista
[05:04] <airstrike> and i just counted 3~4 for gimp
[05:04] <Chris82> yeah because it preloads the files most commonly used in ram
[05:04] <Chris82> on xp it takes 30 seconds to load photoshop on my PC
[05:05] <airstrike> vista -does not- cache all the programs up to 3.5gb ram
[05:05] <mc44> this channel is not for discussing the relative merits of windows
[05:05] <autodidakt> stefg: yap and then? ^^

[05:05] <Chris82> sorry ;) ok back to topic
[05:05] <oscuro> I have an ugly computer, and has video, sound etc integrated to the main board.
[05:05] <GNine> 3.5 gigs of ram?  yah right
[05:05] <Chris82> can I burn a cd with the live cd?
[05:05] <airstrike> yes you can
[05:05] <weltall> make a ram disk and you are done :P
[05:05] <Kresjah> Anyone who can help me work my GL out?
[05:05] <Chris82> GNine: I have 4 if that is the question
[05:05] <GNine> i doubt you actually have all that ram
[05:05] <Chris82> airstrike: ok good :) then I don't need to boot back
[05:06] <airstrike> oh, i thought you meant if you could burn a copy of the live c
[05:06] <airstrike> d
[05:06] <autodidakt> stefg: hm pls tell me where to find vsync in the gui
[05:06] <rediz_> how do u start ndiswrapper from terminal
[05:06] <mc44> rediz_: you want to set it up? or you've already done that?
[05:06] <Chris82> nah I am using the live cd right now and I want to burn the alternate one so I can use an advanced setup
[05:06] <Chris82> with lots of text :D
[05:06] <airstrike> i don't know if you could burn something on the live cd, but i'd doubt it.. it should be using plenty of ram/resources as it is and i don't think it loads up any burners
[05:06] <GNine> ok.. so you do.. why do you need a virtual memory then.. pretty sure something is cache to disk
[05:06] <Kresjah> Basically, in order to get any further on my venture towards GL, I supposedly need xorg-server 1.3, but I have no clue where to get it
[05:06] <Chris82> well I will see in a few mins
[05:07] <rediz_> mc44 i've used package manager to install. not shur if ive setup
[05:07] <stefg> autodidakt: X server XVideo-settings -> sync to Vblank
[05:07] <mc44> rediz_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[05:08] <Chris82> ok so the alternate cd downloaded fine using the live cd, now I try to burn it
[05:08] <autodidakt> stefg: sync to Vblack = vsync?
[05:08] <NET||abuse> arrrrrgggggg!!!! I moused over an mp3 on my desktop to delete it,, as i did, the mouse over preview started playing, the file is gone from my desktop, but it keeps playing the file?? How can i stop that playback???
[05:08] <GNine> funny
[05:08] <stefg> autodidakt: or do you mean the vsync of your display?
[05:09] <autodidakt> stefg: hm vertical sync as it is defined in windows ^
[05:09] <GNine> u could kill the process.. or to be blunt , kill the xserver
[05:09] <GNine> :-P
[05:09] <NET||abuse> GNine, yeh, dunno what the process is to ps aux it....

[05:09] <rediz_> mc44 thnxz
[05:10] <Chris82> mc44: Thanks for that link... reading it
[05:10] <GNine> my acpi reports a -267 degrees operating temp.  i need a command line to fix that. i know its wrong because am not in pluto (as in the 9th planet)
[05:11] <GNine> access code now.. do it
[05:11] <airstrike> haha
[05:11] <stefg> GNine: superconducting wires! Hey, there's some opportunity to overclock, i guess! :-)
[05:11] <airstrike> Chris82, just make sure you're adding the right (hdX,Y) according to your drivers/partitions
[05:11] <mc44> genii: thats unpossible!
[05:11] <GNine> very funny..  :-/
[05:12] <Chris82> hmmm isn't it possible to use widescreen resolutions in ubuntu?
[05:12] <genii> Actually i think -267 would be +6 K
[05:12] <mc44> yes, its -273.15
[05:12] <Chris82> it uses 1280x1024 automatically and I can't set it to 1680x1050
[05:12] <Pici> !fixres > Chris82 (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[05:12] <airstrike> yes it is
[05:12] <genii> mc44: But still unpossible for cpu temp
[05:12] <airstrike> you're running the live cd, i believe not everything is working as smoothly as they would in a full install
[05:12] <mc44> genii: I dunno, even with water cooling? :P
[05:12] <airstrike> i'm running 1680x1050 right now
[05:13] <GNine> those were centigrade degrees.. either way .. one kelvin is not a workable solution for anything
[05:13] <nox-Hand> Is there a way to improve audio quality in linux?
[05:13] <airstrike> install the apropriate sound card drivers?
[05:13] <un_dave> anyone know how to get an irc server window to display in gaim ?
[05:13] <un_dave> i need to enter an irc server command
[05:13] <genii> GNine: Definitely not good, either way
[05:14] <Pici> un_dave: you could try using /quote
[05:14] <GNine> the deal is .. acpi is wrong.. that, is the issue at hand
[05:14] <un_dave> Pici: where would i enter it ?
[05:14] <airstrike> Chris82, make sure you read the #comments in menu.lst, there are some tips in there (such as 'default N'/savedefault for making one of the entries the default one when booting)
[05:14] <Pici> un_dave: Right where you type what you are typing now.
[05:15] <GNine> was thinking maybe kernel upgrade but ... F*** that.. problem is acpi module
[05:15] <GNine> i need codes
[05:15] <GNine> now
[05:15] <GNine> do it
[05:16] <afs> hi! I am developing kernel-related stuff, and I wonder why some linux include files are not put in /usr/include/linux but in /usr/src/linux/include/. Anyone got a clue?
[05:16] <un_dave> Pici: lol. that just crashed gaim
[05:16] <Kresjah> Is there anyone out there who can tell me where/how to get my xorg-server upgraded from 1.2.0 to 1.3=<
[05:16] <Kresjah> ?`
[05:16] <mc44> afs: you could try asking in #ubuntu-kernel if no one here knows
[05:17] <genii> GNine: Is this by chance an MSI motehrboard? Google shows me something about MSI bios fix for bad cpu temp reading
[05:17] <DjViper> I doubt anyone here knows the answer to that afs
[05:17] <GNine> negative
[05:17] <afs> I'll check there, thanks a lot for the pointer
[05:17] <genii> GNine: OK
[05:17] <GNine> throw me that link .. i might get infected by something from there
[05:17] <npnufn> how can I disable access to removable media from the shell.
[05:18] <npnufn> for gnome it is gnome-volume-properties, but for what is for shell.
[05:18] <Ignite> afs, the ones in /usr/src/linux/include are from the Linux source tarball, the ones in /usr/include are the installed headers.
[05:18] <GNine> i mean .. in a good way.  like i need codes , you know.. now
[05:18] <GNine> heh
[05:18] <NSFrag> is anyone in here familiar with installing ubuntu via debootstrap
[05:19] <GNine> and i got some major lag goin on here too.. not good
[05:19] <afs> Ignite: the package linux-headers-2.6.20-16-generic (matches my kernel) has this file...
[05:20] <orkid1> Hi, I'm trying to set up a serial mouse on gutsy. However, I can't even get anything from cat /dev/ttyS0 or 1 when I move the mouse. starting gpm also doesn't give me the mouse. I have a PS/2 but no mouse on it, just a serial mouse.
[05:20] <afs> .. but in the wrong location i'd think
[05:20] <Ignite> afs, which file?
[05:20] <afs> compiler.h
[05:20] <NSFrag> orkid1: lol why dont you get a normal mouse :P
[05:20] <NSFrag> orkid1: its not like theyre expensive
[05:20] <GNine> usb is the shiznits
[05:20] <orkid1> NSFrag: b/c this isn't my computer, it's old, and I don't have an extra one.
[05:21] <npnufn> how can I disable automounting of removable media from the shell?
[05:21] <Ignite> afs, I suspect the source contains additional headers for kernel development, is that what you're doing?
[05:21] <orkid1> orkid1: and I have used serial mice before, and they work. It also works in Win98 fine (dual boot).
[05:21] <orkid1> (woops, i'm talking to myself)
[05:21] <afs> Ignite: I guess. I need it for compiling qemu
[05:22] <afs> and other machines (running debian) seem to have this file in /usr/include/linux/
[05:22] <NSFrag> is anyone here familiar with installing ubuntu via debootstrap
[05:22] <Ignite> afs, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`. If that doesn't work, you could always try VirtualBox. <3 VirtualBox (see: http://www.virtualbox.org).
[05:22] <ibilic> how do I search man pages?
[05:23] <afs> Ignite: virtualbox is not an option, i'm doing research on argos which is a patched qemu....
[05:23] <orkid1> ibilic: man -k
[05:23] <orkid1> ibilic: man man
[05:23] <Ignite> afs, ah, okay. Try installing apt-file, then you can do an apt-file search <filename>. That will tell you what package(s) contain that file.
[05:23] <orkid1> NSFrag: I guess not.
[05:24] <GNine> whats funny is that acpi doesnt do the crazy fan/temp reading all the time.. sometimes i just do a reboot and everything is fine..  i call it the acpi hiccup syndrome
[05:24] <ibilic> I want to search the man page for mount for "vfat"
[05:24] <GNine> i need code now dammit
[05:24] <NSFrag> orkid1: yeah this is why i dislike #ubuntu, all the smart people are in #debian
[05:24] <sybariten> NSFrag: sounds like a good idea!
[05:25] <orkid1> NSFrag: they won't tell you how to use it? Did you read the manpage? Usually they're good.
[05:25] <Grungebunny> umm.. if your running ubuntu you are running debian
[05:26] <NSFrag> orkid1: its not a matter of using it, its a matter of running into critical errors such as the system message sender not starting
[05:26] <Agrajag> no, if you're running ubuntu, you're runing ubuntu
[05:26] <genii> GNine: Can you pastebin results of command: sensors       also, do you have a kernel option line for grub of noacpi or acpi=off or similar
[05:26] <NSFrag> #debian was like shrug ask in #ubuntu
[05:26] <NSFrag> lol
[05:26] <PriitM> Hi! With what could I uncompress .bin file?
[05:26] <Myrtti> PriitM: you don't
[05:27] <Myrtti> PriitM: by the looks of it, I'd guess it's a binary package that you're just supposed to run
[05:27] <PriitM> Myrtti, it's cd image with .bin extension
[05:27] <mc44> you can just mount it then

[05:28] <PriitM> thanks
[05:28] <genii> orkid1: Change in /etc/X11/xorg.conf the device the mouse is susing
[05:28] <NSFrag> orkid1: no i have, and i know what im doing is *supposed* to work
[05:29] <genii> *using
[05:29] <NSFrag> orkid1: see when gutsy failed with dpkg errors i kindof expected that, its a beta
[05:29] <NSFrag> but feisty should have worked
[05:29] <orkid1> genii: I tried. But I can't even get output from 'cat /dev/ttyS0'
[05:29] <NSFrag> \
[05:29] <npnufn> ok then what is hald-addon-usb-csr?
[05:29] <orkid1> genii: starting gpm in console doesn't give me mouse either.
[05:29] <orkid1> NSFrag: What's your problem exactly?
[05:30] <Inxs> how to check hard disk for bad sectors?
[05:30] <genii> orkid1: May be another serial port besides 3f8, eg: 2f8 3e8 etc. Likely set in bios

[05:33] <ubotu> Inxs: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually.

[05:33] <mc44> gnomefreak: yeah, I meant apt-cache policy. I have aliases which means I forget which is which :)
[05:33] <Ignite> afs, if you install apt-build then install qemu with that, it will build it from source. Thus it will be forced to install the correct package.
[05:33] <orkid1> genii: I'll try that. I tried both ports, 1 and 2, no go. i'll try switching addresses. what i would like to find is a way to diable the psaux on the motherboard. i fear it has something to do with it.

[05:36] <Ignite> afs, you can uninstall the Ubuntu version of qemu afterwards. And you will have everything install to build qemu. Unless of course the file that is missing is required by argos and not qemu.

[05:56] <nhansen1> hello. I just recently partitioned and installed Ubuntu via Wubi on my laptop. I now want to get rid of windwos completely, and kind of want to install fresh from the Live CD. thing is: the cdrom on my laptop doesnt work. I have a USB drive, though. I've read many articles on how to do it, but they all vary, and I am not sure it's what I want (I'm a bit confused with it)
[05:57] <Orange_Tea> I installed vmware server and i try run it by terminal 'vmware' nothing happen it just say http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37705/
[05:57] <nhansen1> anyway whats the easiest way to format everything and install ubuntu fresh without a cd rom?
[05:57] <fermatstheorem> afterlife: not sure dude/dudette. check with msn help pages
[05:57] <chal> fermatstheorem: x86 would that be i386 and 64 do you mean 64 bit
[05:57] <thinkingman> Morning everyone, I'm having trouble getting DVD playback to work in Feisty, tried totem and vlc and neither seem to be able to decode the stream, checked in multiverse and it looks like I should have everything to decode DVDs but still no luck, anyone have any ideas?
[05:57] <nhansen1> or maybe I could just delete windows and tell linux to use the rest of the disk? I'm a bit iffy about the whole wubi thing, though
[05:57] <afterlife> ok thanks
[05:57] <fermatstheorem> chal:x86_64 or am_64
[05:57] <fermatstheorem> chal: same
[05:58] <fermatstheorem> thinkingman: !dvd
[05:58] <fermatstheorem> !dvd
[05:58] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[05:58] <fermatstheorem> !dvd > thinkingman
[05:58] <nhansen1> should I just go for the installation on a USB drive (can I even install it from there onto my laptop?) or do another alternative?
[05:58] <chal> whats  x86_64 or am_64 mean please
[05:59] <chal> fermatstheroem: so its not i386
[05:59] <fermatstheorem> chal: 64 bit architecture
[05:59] <SlimeyPete> chal: 64-bit processors
[06:00] <fermatstheorem> chal: you can install i386/32 bit OS, but wthats the point in buying shiny new core2duo ;-)
[06:00] <chal> i think the imac duo 2 core i have is 32 bit
[06:00] <z9999> Can anyone tell me how to undo the updates just applied that broke my system?
[06:00] <r00tintheb0x> iiiii have the powerrrrr
[06:00] <fermatstheorem> chat: core2 duo is 64 bit
[06:00] <fermatstheorem> r00tintheb0x: no, ops have the power
[06:00] <aguitel> anyone work with ati radeon  IGP 330M/340M/350M ?
[06:00] <r00tintheb0x> well, not an IRC op.
[06:00] <r00tintheb0x> But a snort op does.
[06:01] <r00tintheb0x> ;)
[06:01] <Orange_Tea> I installed vmware server and i try run it by terminal 'vmware' nothing happen it just say http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37705/
[06:02] <r00tintheb0x> Orange_Tea, all you have to do is install libpng
[06:02] <HotdogWater> Orange_Tea: run sudo apt-get install libpng12-0 libpng12-dev
[06:02] <gonzaloaf> hi, is it possible to install ubuntu 7.04 in a p1 133Mhz with 160M of RAM?
[06:02] <nhansen1> How should I go about installing Ubuntu without a CDROM drive? I have WINXP and Ubuntu currently, and mainly just want to get rid of windows, but I installed linux with Wubi, so I'm not sure if I should just do a nice fresh install, or what. Anyone know?
[06:03] <tarelerulz> I have been use utorrent for windows and  Now I am use deluge for ubuntu .  Is there something about utorrent that makes it download and share better that is not found in say Deluge ?
[06:03] <dromer> gonzaloaf: sure, but you better not use gnome or kde
[06:03] <fermatstheorem> gonzaloaf: from which museum did you steal that!? ;-) yes you can
[06:03] <SlimeyPete> gonzaloaf: yes, if you use alternate CD
[06:03] <dromer> gonzaloaf: make it a server or run something like blackbox as wm
[06:03] <HotdogWater> nhansen: try googling for a network install with ubuntu
[06:03] <fermatstheorem> gonzaloaf: donot install gnome/kde install fluxbox/blackbox
[06:03] <nhansen1> network install, ok awesome
[06:04] <gonzaloaf> fermatstheorem, maybe xfce
[06:04] <fermatstheorem> gonzaloaf: yup. but donot install gnome apps
[06:04] <gonzaloaf> is it necessary to use the alternate cd?
[06:04] <dromer> gonzaloaf: xfce is too bloathed for that machine
[06:04] <fermatstheorem> gonzaloaf: xubuntu
[06:04] <Orange_Tea> HotdogWater, 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[06:04] <thinkingman> fermatstheorem: still no luck with the links from ubotu
[06:04] <HotdogWater> gonzaloaf: stay away from xfce on that box
[06:04] <dromer> HotdogWater: hehe
[06:04] <gonzaloaf> HotdogWater, why?
[06:04] <belgarath_> jrib...  thx for your advise......  I created a script and launched it from /etc/rc.local...  works great!!! :D
[06:04] <dromer> gonzaloaf: that pc can't be a full desktop-system, really
[06:05] <HotdogWater> Orange_Tea: try libpng3
[06:05] <fermatstheorem> gonzaloaf: dedicated firewall..
[06:05] <HotdogWater> gonzaloaf: 133mhz and 16mb of ram? It would be pushing it with xfce. try *box
[06:05] <sdadds272> I have a problem regarding the nvidia glx drivers. I tried installing them by downloading the driver from nvidia's official website. but it didn't work. So someone told me i shoul just install the nvidia drivers from the synaptic package manager, which i did.
[06:05] <Orange_Tea> HotdogWater installing.
[06:05] <fermatstheorem> gonzaloaf: or you can hone your leet terminal skills by not instlling X
[06:06] <sdadds272> After i enabled the driver, it told me to restart the x-server, which i also did. problem is now that it doesn't restart/doesn't go back to the desktop
[06:06] <moofoo> hello, is there a backport of openoffice 2.3 for feisty somewhere?
[06:06] <thinkingman> fermatstheorem: even with libdvdcss2 installed neither totem or vlc can read any dvd...
[06:06] <sdadds272> I've had this problem for ages, can't figure whats the problem
[06:06] <qleq4> does anyone know how to make a digital camera work with feisty fawn? I have connected my Canon, turned it on, and lsusb shows nothing!
[06:07] <fermatstheorem> qleq4: dmesg|tail?
[06:07] <HotdogWater> qleq4: try restarting X. it's an odd fix for me when ubuntu wont detect usb devices. ctrl+alt+backspace. save your work first
[06:07] <Orange_Tea> HotdogWater installed can
[06:07] <qleq4> fermatstheorem: nothing is printed in logs
[06:07] <Inxs> are there any programs for ntfs partition check's for bad sectors
[06:07] <HotdogWater> Orange_Tea: did it work?
[06:07] <Orange_Tea> HotdogWater installed can't open it ?
[06:07] <fermatstheorem> qleq4: camera on? ;-)
[06:07] <qleq4> HotdogWater: are you kidding? :)

[06:09] <lina_> or emerald theme manager
[06:09] <lina_> hi
[06:09] <dromer> gonzaloaf: 160 mb is nice .. but still, xfce needs a bit more cpu/ram to run smoothly, really, try some other minimal wm
[06:09] <Inxs> I'm booted from CD. Can i check my ntfs partitions for bad sector or how to do whole hdd check?
[06:09] <HotdogWater> Orange_Tea: libcairo2 libcairo2-dev
[06:09] <qleq4> grunty: I've tried all my ports.. nothing happens
[06:09] <grunty> lina_ emerald theme manager is part of beryl/compiz

[06:10] <lina_> grunty: ok, how do I stop it from starting when I log in? i always have to close the window

[06:10] <gonzaloaf> dromer, why do I have to use the alternate cd?
[06:10] <callas> interest

[06:10] <grunty> lina_, system->prefrences->session

[06:10] <Orange_Tea> HotdogWater is already newest verisiion
[06:10] <fermatstheorem> Inxs:ntfs is not implemented outo fbox
[06:10] <gonzaloaf> USMarine, LVM?
[06:11] <grunty> qleq4, just a thought:)
[06:11] <USMarine> you can only use LVMs with the alternate
[06:11] <dromer> gonzaloaf: because it doesn't have the graficall installer (from the ubuntu wm)
[06:11] <lina_> I looked there. there is only compiz, emerald --replace, network manager, power manager and volume manager
[06:11] <HotdogWater> Orange_Tea: libcairomm-1.0-1 libcairomm-1.0-dev
[06:11] <gonzaloaf> dromer, ohh ok
[06:11] <dromer> gonzaloaf: it's too heavy for your cpu
[06:11] <lina_> grunty: removing emerald --replace just makes my theme change when i log back in
[06:11] <BernieMac> Anyone know why my audio files suddenly quit working in the Listen player?
[06:11] <fermatstheorem> qleq4: sorry, unless we have a peek at your system there isnothing we can do, if the log shows nothing..strange
[06:11] <rabiddachshund> I don't understand how to install programs without the package manager or a .deb
[06:11] <lina_> grunty: but the program still starts
[06:11] <rabiddachshund> Does it matter where the file is saved?
[06:12] <Orange_Tea> HotdogWater downloading ...
[06:12] <grunty> lina_, hmm
[06:12] <USMarine> rabiddachshund no
[06:12] <lina_> grunty: sorry, i don't really know what i'm doing here..

[06:13] <rabiddachshund> If I saved the tar.bz2 to the desktop and followed the instructions, does it matter if I delete the folder that it unpacked to my desktop?

[06:18] <variant> lina_: try removing your .gnome2 files or something.. there is probably a session file somewhere that has a emerald-theme-manager entry in it

[06:21] <Orange_Tea> Hotdogwater but wait
[06:21] <nathan__> variant: it requires math to see the amount free..
[06:21] <fermatstheorem> sandy: install the tapioca client dev package from synaptic
[06:21] <rafaelscj> hello all
[06:21] <Orange_Tea> Hotdogwater all i did was go in terminal and go to proxosi@proxosi-desktop:/usr/bin$ sudo vmware
[06:22] <variant> nathan__: it shows your free ram, used ram, total ram,
[06:22] <Orange_Tea> and it opens vmware
[06:22] <Orange_Tea> Hotdogwater and it opens vmware
[06:22] <HotdogWater> orange_tea: that's odd.
[06:22] <variant> nathan__: see the heading titled "free" under that is a number, that is your free ram
[06:22] <rafaelscj> how do I to format a MP4?
 in synaptic i am not getting tapioca package at all
[06:22] <Orange_Tea> Hotdogwater is that how i open vmware from proxosi@proxosi-desktop:/usr/bin$ sudo vmware
[06:22] <grunty> lina_, when you installed compiz did you create your own script to start it?
[06:22] <fermatstheorem> ubuntu has joined #ubuntu! the world is going to implode in a puff of smoke
[06:22] <HotdogWater> orange_tea im going to look for a second, you shouldnt have to open something like vmware with root privs
 i tried there first then i download it from the net
[06:22] <Orange_Tea> Hotdogwater http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37707/
[06:23] <fermatstheorem> sandy:google for tapioca dev packaqge
[06:23] <nathan__> variant: I don't want free ram only, I want total ram on the system, in gb
[06:23] <lina_> grunty: i didn't install compiz. i have heard the name but i had nothing to do with it
[06:23] <fermatstheorem> sandy: the main package is different from teh dev package
[06:23] <fermatstheorem> sandy: search specifically for the dev package
[06:23] <grunty> lina_, so you dont use a 3d desktop?
[06:23] <CoasterMaster> is there a frontend for truecrypt?
[06:23] <prospero91> Let's play 'I dare you'

[06:23] <fermatstheorem> prospero91: truth or dare!
[06:23] <lina_> grunty: but i dindn't install it, i got it from my friend
[06:24] <prospero91> I dare you to type chmod -R 777 * from the root directory
[06:24] <grunty> lina_, ahh right but its still installed
[06:24] <brunner> I can't get visual basic to compile anything in ubuntu
[06:24] <HotdogWater> orange_tea: you don't need to append the $ to directory names
[06:24] <fermatstheorem> brunner: you are kiddin right?
[06:24] <brunner> fermatstheorem: yeah, sorry
[06:24] <Orange_Tea> Hotdogwater So how would i open the vmware correctly
[06:24] <fermatstheorem> brunner: :-p
[06:25] <HotdogWater> orange_tea: i'm looking it up
[06:25] <lina_> grunty: i have no idea, all I know is that i have a 3d cube and windows that wobble. if i remove emerald --replace from that session thing then my theme is different when i log in but the "emerald theme manager" window still starts
[06:25] <r00tintheb0x> prospero91, why would you say something like that?
[06:25] <grunty> lina_, do you know how to use the terminal?
[06:25] <thinkingman> fermatstheorem: if I use vlc to directly open the .vob files from the dvd, I get audio and video playback, but it's garbled..?
[06:25] <lina_> grunty: :( yes
[06:25] <prospero91> Just for kicks I guess.
[06:25] <HotdogWater> orange_tea: but if you wanted to open it with root privileges, then you would just use either sudo vmware or sudo ./usr/bin/vmware
[06:25] <lina_> grunty: i have been shown it anyway
[06:25] <grunty> lina_, ls /usr/share/xsessions/

[06:25] <nathan__> nbkr: wow thanks, I have to try to decode that but it works great!
[06:25] <HotdogWater> orange_tea: and with regular privileges either vmware or ./usr/bin/vmware
[06:25] <a4ndr3c> hi
[06:26] <lina_> grunty: lina@lina-desktop:~$ ls /usr/share/xsessions/
[06:26] <lina_> fluxbox.desktop  gnome.desktop
[06:26] <fermatstheorem> thinkingman: chekc the preferences (the advanced mode) and find out if there is somethign mssing
[06:26] <z9999> Anyone able to help restore the wireless after applying updates?
[06:26] <grunty> lina_, or just go to /usr/share/xsessions/ within the file browser
[06:26] <fermatstheorem> thinkingman:i use vlc exclusively for dvd,and it works
[06:26] <prospero91> ok, sorry. Thought it would be an interesting discussion topic -- ways to break the computer
[06:26] <a4ndr3c> mplayer rulez!!
[06:26] <Orange_Tea> Hotdogwater when i close the terminal it close vmwar
[06:27] <BernieMac> prospero91, maybe it would have been in the offtopic forum...
[06:27] <fermatstheorem> prospero91: people get banned for doint such stuff here, control freaks they are
[06:27] <HotdogWater> orange_tea: that's because it's running through the terminal
[06:27] <thinkingman> fermatstheorem: I'm not seeing anything missing, but I'm not sure what to look for
[06:27] <Pici> prospero91: This is not constructive.  People here are looking for support.
[06:27] <nathan__> nbkr: when I try doing this to assign it to a variable I get errors: outp=(echo "scale=4; `cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemTotal | sed 's/MemTotal://g' | sed 's/kB//g' | sed 's/ //g'`/(1024*1024)" | bc)
  there are not getting installed it is saying dependency is not satisfiable
[06:27] <HotdogWater> orange_tea: any program you open with the terminal will do that
[06:27] <thinkingman> however, and correct me if I'm wrong, if I can see/hear dvd playback (even if garbled) I'm assuming libdvdcss is installed and configured properly
[06:27] <grunty> lina_, hmm try  gedit  /usr/share/xsessions/fluxbox.desktop
[06:27] <fermatstheorem> sandy: which dep
[06:27] <Orange_Tea> Hotdogwater  so i have to leave the terminal open
[06:27] <HotdogWater> orange_tea: yep
 dont know
[06:28] <grunty> and see what the Exec= line says
[06:28] <grunty> lina_ ^
[06:28] <fermatstheorem> sandy: they probably list down the dependcy..
[06:28] <lina_> grunty: it says Exec=/usr/bin/startfluxbox
[06:28] <fermatstheorem> thinkingman: possible
[06:28] <sandy> http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/libdevel/libqttapioca-dev <fermatstheorem>
[06:28] <fermatstheorem> sandy: when you tried installing it, what error msg did it give
[06:28] <thinkingman> fermatstheorem: PROGRESS!
[06:28] <anks> I am using fiesty on my acer aspire 5100 laptop with amd64 turino processor , my OS crashes after 1-2 hour of usages and report me that I cannot mount or unmount any volume because they are read only, after that I cannot use any program, save anything or even create folders (not even with sudo)
[06:28] <fermatstheorem> thinkingman: way to go!
[06:28] <Orange_Tea> Hotdogwater there this guy saying he solve it but i want see your opinion should i try it out?
[06:28] <a4ndr3c> acer sucks
[06:29] <HotdogWater> orange_tea: sure what's he saying
[06:29] <fermatstheorem> a4ndr3c: me->macbook pro :-p
[06:29] <sandy> dependency is not satisfiable <fermatstheorem>

[06:29] <grunty> lina_, what about gedit /usr/bin/startfluxbox
[06:29] <fermatstheorem> fermatstheorem: which file/package is needed..it throws an error msg when you try to install it
[06:29] <a4ndr3c> fermatstheorem: oh yeah mac rulez and asus too
[06:29] <thinkingman> fermatstheorem: I'm not too familiar with vlc, but I enabled stream/save in the advanced options of DVD playback and I've got clear video/audio
[06:30] <fermatstheorem> sandy: did you try installnig via synaptic
[06:30] <lina_> grunty: I have to go, will be back later. thanks for the help so far!

[06:30] <thinkingman> fermatstheorem: I take it totem for dvd playback is probably not a good idea?
[06:30] <[nrx] > not a lot.. just stopped watching a dvd and saw this thing blinking heh
 i tried but there are no package of that
[06:30] <fermatstheorem> thinkingman: totem is decent
[06:30] <a4ndr3c> totem sucks!!!!

[06:31] <nbkr> anks, Are you sure there is no harddisk problem?

[06:31] <No1Viking> Guys... I need to connect to a Windows PC remotely from a ubuntu box, any ideas of software to use on both PCs?
[06:31] <[nrx] > ;D
[06:31] <a4ndr3c> lol
[06:31] <[nrx] > No1Viking: try a VNC
[06:31] <nbkr> No1Viking, VNC
[06:31] <[nrx] > !vnc
[06:31] <No1Viking> Is VNC free?
[06:31] <ubotu> VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX
[06:31] <CoasterMaster> No1Viking, are you looking for just a command line interface or a full X system?  SSH if you just need command line, VNC otherwise
[06:31] <anks> nbkr, hard disk work fine with other os like centos or fedora, i checked usink fsck and it was fine
[06:31] <[nrx] > No1Viking: ye
[06:31] <fermatstheorem> [nrx] :while i sip my latte with my macbok pro :-p
[06:31] <Pici> No1Viking: vnc and rdp both work to connect to windows computers, you can also use samba to share files.
[06:32] <[nrx] > fermatstheorem: slippers, cardigan and blanket? :P
[06:32] <BernieMac> Anyone know why my audio files suddenly quit working in the Listen player?
[06:32] <lullis> Hello, all. I need some help to figure out what I need to change in my audio settings.
[06:32] <No1Viking> OK, VNC it is. Thanks guys!!

[06:32] <BMT> how do  i cancel a process  ?
[06:33] <Pici> !kill | BMT
[06:33] <ubotu> BMT: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).   But I can't record anything using "Sound Recorder".
[06:33] <[nrx] > fermatstheorem: that's because it's a mac
[06:33] <[nrx] > ;x
[06:33] <fermatstheorem> [nrx] : now now
[06:33] <lullis> ALso, I made a test call using skype, and it was successful.
[06:33] <BMT> is the kill command the one that i have to know the pid number ?
[06:33] <Pici> BMT: If its a graphical process, you can use xkill, otherwise you need to use a combination of kill and psaux
[06:33] <fermatstheorem> [nrx] : the fox said the grapes are sour
[06:33] <a4ndr3c> anks: I have problems with feisty faw.... im downgrade to edgy few days ago

[06:34] <anks> a4ndr3c, really, should I consider it seriously?
[06:34] <Pici> No1Viking: To my knowledge, yes.

[06:34] <vivabenfica> hi all
[06:35] <Kilroo> What would (anyone who cares to answer) you consider to be the most likely reason to use FreeNX over VNC+SSH?
[06:35] <afs> tkd: are you trying to use 'su' as the username to log in with?
[06:35] <tkd> fermatstherorem trying to install java plugin for mozilla and am following the instructions,

[06:35] <uptownben> Hi All. Can anyone point me to a doc on setting up a "printer" for sending faxes to a HYLAFAX server?
[06:35] <[nrx] > fermatstheorem: Myrtti is :)
[06:35] <tkd> afs i am following these instructions.... http://www.java.com/en/download/help/5000010500.xml#selfextracting
[06:35] <BMT> Pici, thanks
[06:35] <fermatstheorem> [nrx] : wow! maybe i should hang out more often here
[06:36] <afs> tkd: you can use 'sudo -s
[06:36] <nbkr> Kilroo, FreeNX is considered to be faster because of a better compression.
[06:36] <uptownben> Does ubuntu come with that ability built in?
[06:36] <afs> ... 'sudo -s' instead of 'su'
[06:36] <[nrx] > im gonna nip to the shawps for some ph00d.
[06:36] <Myrtti> huh?
[06:36] <[nrx] > get me. all l33t.
[06:36] <fermatstheorem> Myrtti: well, hulloh! courtesy [nrx]
[06:36] <variant> fermatstheorem: there are probably a few girls here. who cares?
[06:36] <[nrx] > back in a bit :)
[06:36] <Myrtti> _o/
[06:36] <vivabenfica> anyone know of a reliable desktop backup solution ?
[06:36] <a4ndr3c> girls here???!!!???
[06:36] <fermatstheorem> [nrx] : awrigh daawg
[06:36] <anks> a4ndr3c, Is there a way i can find what happpened by seeing logs, because nothing particular is shown by dmesg
[06:37] <tkd> afs whats the -s
[06:37] <fermatstheorem> vivabenfica: rsych
[06:37] <fermatstheorem> variant: who cares!! thats denial man!
[06:37] <ruggrat> Wow, of course the first topic I'll see upon joining this channel is "omg where's the ladies at?"
[06:37] <variant> ruggrat: lol
[06:37] <afs> tkd: 'su' is the 'original' way of becoming root. it has been replaced in ubuntu by 'sudo' which you can use in front of any command to execute it as root
[06:37] <fermatstheorem> Myrtti: i gues you are of the geeky types/ regular ones ? ig et scared by regular women
[06:38] <a4ndr3c> anks: do really check every thing in dmesg? maybe something missing
[06:38] <tkd>  afs ahh ok thanks that makes sense to me
[06:38] <fermatstheorem> tkd, afs: sudo was there way befre ubuntu
[06:38] <afs> and if you use 'sudo -s' you get an interctive shell as the root-user, in effect behaving the same as the classical 'su'
[06:38] <afs> fermatstheorem: i know
[06:38] <fermatstheorem> tkd, afs: they have disabled root user by defaul
[06:38] <a4ndr3c> anks: do me a favor, when u reboot your computer, check if are any network manager errors
[06:38] <Rick__> hi
[06:38] <tkd> thanks a ton
[06:39] <vivabenfica> fermatstheorem: i was hoping to back up to an external disk, hopefully using an app with a gui
[06:39] <fermatstheorem> tkd: i suggest you use only sudo to prevent any irrepairable damage to your genetila
[06:39] <tkd> gonna try this now
[06:39] <anks> a4ndr3c, please will you consider looking at my dmesg report
[06:39] <fermatstheorem> lia

[06:40] <fermatstheorem> abadtooth:u sure,,strange sutff
[06:40] <fermatstheorem> stuff
[06:40] <afs> tkd: basically you should learn to do as much as possible under your regular account, and only use sudo in front of specific commands that require root-privileges
[06:40] <a4ndr3c> vivabenfica: oh benfiquista? n dizes nada?
[06:40] <abadtooth> fermatstheorem:  yes :(
[06:40] <kalani> fermatstheorem: it works :D. Thanks

[06:43] <USMarine> ali4728 that's proly not onboard
[06:43] <a4ndr3c> vivabenfica, i use a external disk for backups, do u mean backup your linux machine?
[06:43] <WilliamB> ali4728, so it's built into the motherboard?
[06:43] <nbkr> abadtooth, Check the keyboard settings. There is something called "Repetition" with two scrollbars next to them
[06:43] <vivabenfica> a4ndr3c: yes
[06:44] <ali4728> WilliamB: so you mean it is a constraint bec. of MB?
[06:44] <abadtooth> nbkr: Okay, thanks let me check that...
[06:44] <vivabenfica> a4ndr3c: what software do you use?
[06:44] <nanonyme> gnomefreak, ban evasion?
[06:44] <Rick__> vivabenfica, nope
[06:44] <vivabenfica> Rick__: beyond me
[06:44] <abadtooth> nbkr:  THANK YOU!!!!
[06:45] <nbkr> abadtooth, No problem - you're welcome :-)

[06:45] <a4ndr3c> vivabenfica, sorry , define backup (in your situation) please
[06:46] <a4ndr3c> vivabenfica, u want to backup .confs and stuff?
[06:46] <WilliamB> ali4728, I mean that if the video card is built into the motherboard and not an actual PCI-Express/AGP/PCI card installed on the computer, then the video card will "steal" part of your main memory for it's own uses

[06:47] <amjad> hello i have a question, can i do voice chat with ubuntu 7.1
[06:47] <amjad> on yahoo messenger??
[06:47] <fermat> CarlF1: clamav is available in ubuntu, but not in live cd
[06:47] <fermat> i was nice and helping folks, and i get banned :-(
[06:48] <Seveas> fermat, avoiding bans will only make sure the bans won't be removed.
[06:48] <CarlF1> fermat: will it scan a fs and look at all the .exe like things?
[06:48] <vivabenfica> CarlF1 clamav is kind of a pain to use. avg has a free antivirus scanner but it isn't open source
[06:48] <fermat> CarlF1: clamav? yup it does
[06:48] <nbkr> amjad, I'don't think Yahoo MSG is able to do voice chat.
[06:49] <CarlF1> friends win laptops is 'weird' so I figure a virsu scan is not a bad idea
[06:49] <r00tintheb0x> nbkr, gyache is able to do yahoo voice chat.
[06:49] <michaelramm> YM does do voice
[06:49] <a4ndr3c> vivabenfica, humm ok ,in ~ there is a lot of config files of the programs that are instaled, i give u a link that helps u
[06:49] <amjad> yes it does on windows
[06:49] <ali4728> WilliamB: 800/4000 MB would go to video card? Can ubuntu desktop see more 4 GB ? does it have a limit like $MS XP?
[06:49] <CarlF1> one flavor of 'weird' is norton AV "turned itself off"
[06:49] <fermat> amjad: unfortunately , folks in yahoo aren't willig to help us linux users
[06:50] <r00tintheb0x> ali4728,  what do you mean by a limit?
[06:50] <Naitse> hi! there is a way to install ubuntu on a pendrive to make it portable BUT that it keep the changes?
[06:50] <amjad> so there is no application that does that in linux??
[06:50] <vivabenfica> CarlF1 this is windows stuff, but try tuneup
[06:50] <vivabenfica> amjad: google it
[06:50] <WilliamB> ali4728, possibly...check your BIOS to see if it's taking a percentage of RAM or is set to "auto"... as for a limitation on total RAM, I doubt that ubuntu has one...ask others
[06:50] <amjad> there is ekiga, but never tried it
[06:50] <CarlF1> vivabenfica: thanks.  url?
[06:50] <amjad> may be i will try it
[06:51] <UbuntuGuy> Hi -- looking for help with DLINK wireless PCI card on feisty.  I start up feisty fine, but DHCP gets no response from the wireless router.  I manually do ifdown and ifup and DHCP gets a valid IP no prob.  What could be stopping it from working during startup?

[06:52] <fermat> themaster369: pray state your problem
[06:53] <themaster369> trying to mount a dvd rom drive so i can boot from dvd from virtual box
[06:53] <[nrx] > la
[06:53] <rafaelscj> !mkfs
[06:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mkfs - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:53] <r00tintheb0x> ali4728, thats a lot of ram for a video card to steal.. .800mb?

[06:53] <rafaelscj> how do I to format a pendrive/mp4?
[06:53] <CarlF1> themaster369: you probably don't need to mount it
[06:53] <themaster369> when i browse within ubuntu
[06:53] <Dr_willis> ali4728,  check your bios settings. ive seen machines that have the onboardvideo/ram be selectable.
[06:54] <vivabenfica> a4ndr3c: ??
[06:54] <CarlF1> themaster369: but if you can't browse it, it probably doesn't have errors
[06:54] <ali4728> r00tintheb0x: thats what I thought but no one seems to use near 4GB ram for a desktop...
[06:54] <CarlF1> er..?!
[06:54] <themaster369> theres a dvd with ISO in there
[06:54] <CarlF1> themaster369: but if you can't browse it, it probably has errors
[06:54] <themaster369> i cant open it or explore it

[06:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mkreiserfs - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:55] <themaster369> it keeps saying unable to mount media

[06:55] <ubotu> rafaelscj: reiserfs is a journalling file system, in benchmarks it outperforms many others on I/O operations, but they take notoriously long to mount.
[06:55] <uptownben> I can't seem to figure out how to setup ubuntu to to print to a hylafax server
[06:55] <ali4728> Dr_willis: ram shows 4gb, r u guessing?
[06:55] <nbkr> ali4728, Sometimes there are problems with 32bit systems that have 4GB ram.
[06:55] <r00tintheb0x> ali4728, you have 4x1G of ram?
[06:55] <themaster369> any ideas anyone?
[06:56] <ali4728> r00tintheb0x: correct
[06:56] <r00tintheb0x> ali what does the ram read @ when you only leave 1G in it?
[06:56] <Dr_willis> ali4728,  im thinking nbkr  is on the right track.. you are loseing .8gb of ram. thats a little.. odd.
[06:56] <genii> uptownben: The hylafax server taking PS input?
[06:57] <ali4728> r00tintheb0x: 1gb
[06:57] <r00tintheb0x> ali4728, what is the make and model of your mother board and memory?
[06:57] <ali4728> Dr_willis: thats what I thought
[06:57] <r00tintheb0x> ALI, when you leave a gig in it... it reads it as a gig?
[06:58] <nbkr> ali4728, It's an addressing problem. Ever tried to install a 64bit OS?
[06:59] <Dr_willis> ali4728,  see if you can track down a 64bit disrto/live cd. see if it shows all the ram.
[06:59] <ali4728> r00tintheb0x: MB: ASUS M2NPV-VM
[06:59] <r00tintheb0x> and...
[06:59] <r00tintheb0x> ALI, when you leave a gig in it... it reads it as a gig?
[06:59] <home_> Hello I am running kubuntu on my machine with xp pro, how do i edit grub so the xp is the default boot?
[07:00] <r00tintheb0x> or 20% less than whats in it...
[07:00] <ali4728> r00tintheb0x: not axactlt 1024 mb
[07:00] <Dr_willis> home_,  its a text file. :) you  use 'sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst'
[07:00] <r00tintheb0x> okay ali so with 1GB of ram the onboard uses none?
[07:00] <r00tintheb0x> What kind of ram do you have ali
[07:00] <genii> uptownben: At any rate you may need package hylafax-client
[07:01] <Dr_willis> home_,  set the 'default' to be the one you want. or uncomment the 'windows' example entry to make windows #1 on the grub list
[07:01] <sandy> what is the best cd or dvd writhing software
[07:01] <ali4728> r00tintheb0x: right
[07:01] <Intangir> how do i scroll up in a screen window?
[07:01] <Pici> !burner | sandy
[07:01] <ubotu> sandy: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus cd burner (Gnome), gtoaster, xcdroast, cdrecord (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[07:01] <Dr_willis> home_,  note that grub starts counting at 0, not 1, so if windows is the 8th entry on your menu, you would set the default to be 7
[07:01] <uptownben> genii: I believe so, I have a completely seperate machine set up as my HylaFax server, I can send faxes with no problem from my windows clients and I wanted to do the same from my ubuntu workstation.
[07:01] <r00tintheb0x> ali are you booted up with 1 or 4 gb right now?
[07:02] <uptownben> genii: I installed hylafax-client on my ubuntu workstation already.
[07:02] <home_> Dr_willis: What is the command to type in terminal?
[07:02] <Dr_willis> home_,  its a text file. :) you  use 'sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst'
[07:02] <home_> dr_willis: tks:)
[07:02] <Dr_willis> or use some other editor then nano
[07:02] <Andeh> Hi. Yesterday I made a joke that I'll never get to doing my homework unless someone kicks me from #ubuntu-offtopic, so someone kicked me.
[07:02] <Andeh> Would an operator please unban me now?
[07:02] <Andeh> lol
[07:02] <ali4728> r00tintheb0x: I am on $MS right now

[07:03] <Rick__> hi all.. i have got my sound driver installed and edited the modprobe file but, no sound output from any app
[07:03] <themaster369> does anyone know about unable to mount errors for dvd drives ?
[07:03] <ali4728> r00tintheb0x: 3.2 as well
[07:03] <r00tintheb0x> ok ali4728 hold up
[07:03] <Dr_willis> themaster369,  try mounting it manually yet?  got any specific error messages?
[07:04] <r00tintheb0x> so 3.2G would mean your video card is sucking up 800MB of RAM?
[07:04] <r00tintheb0x> no...
[07:04] <themaster369> yes. when i try and access the dvd drive it says unable to mount media
[07:05] <themaster369> then after it says theres probably no media in the drive
[07:05] <ali4728> r00tintheb0x: maybe thats right
[07:05] <themaster369> and there is media..i took the dvd out and put in my windows dvd drive and say contents
[07:05] <uptownben> Does this mean that I will not be able to print directly from my apps? It looks like it's a 2 step process on *nix.
[07:06] <r00tintheb0x> ali4728, is all the ram the same?
[07:06] <uptownben> first print to a PS file , then send the PS file to the Hylafax server view gfax or something else.. is this correct?
[07:06] <themaster369> i think ubuntu has not mounted my dvd drive or i accidently unmounted it
[07:06] <r00tintheb0x> and ali4728, is it all DDR2 800 ?
[07:06] <ali4728> r00tintheb0x: same make 4x1gb
[07:06] <themaster369> is there a fast way of checking?
[07:07] <themaster369> dr willis any ideas?
[07:07] <disinterested> well i finally got read and write permissions on my slave hd
[07:08] <neverblue> morning
[07:08] <degrit> I know this is a silly question but - I downloaded an app installer in .bin format, how do I run it ? doubleclicking or typing its name in console won't launch it
[07:08] <r00tintheb0x> ali4728, when you boot it up with one gig... how much does the video card allocate?
[07:08] <neverblue> degrit, what program is the .bin ?
[07:08] <genii> uptownben: I'm not sure if the client allows prining direct from apps as a print driver.
[07:08] <Myrtti> ./installer.bin BUT read the README first
[07:08] <degrit> "Planet Shift"
[07:08] <themaster369> please can someone help...im so close to getting this thing working
[07:09] <neverblue> then consult the README <-- its called that for a reason :)
[07:09] <degrit> says in the manual "follow your distro's specs to install"
[07:09] <neverblue> !anyone | themaster369
[07:09] <ubotu> themaster369: 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?
[07:09] <degrit> it's only a .bin, no readme files
[07:09] <r00tintheb0x> themaster369, whats the problem... i'll help.
[07:09] <neverblue> degrit, check where you downloaded it
[07:09] <r00tintheb0x> ali4728, i think you need a kernel w/large mem support
[07:09] <degrit> that's where it says to follow my distro's specs
[07:09] <degrit> P:
[07:09] <themaster369> oh jeez..lol ive said 3 times...what does ! anyone mean anyway?
[07:09] <Dr_willis> degrit,  normally ya chmod +x whatever.bin, ./whatever.bin
[07:09] <genii> uptownben: At one time I used hylafax, but have since switched to mgetty-sendfax
[07:09] <Dr_willis> degrit,  or 'bash whatever.bin'
[07:09] <themaster369> im trying to sort out a dvd rom problem

[07:11] <mikebot> Does anyone here know how to install snort?
[07:11] <Dr_willis> themaster369,  if its like vmware - you need to set the virtualbox machine settings to access the actual physical drive., You are running Ubuntu Under virtualbox under windows? or linux? or what?
[07:12] <r00tintheb0x>  virtual box?

[07:12] <r00tintheb0x> ali4728, what you need to do is reboot into linux, and paste me the output from "dmesg"
[07:12] <Dr_willis> mikebot,  dont expect an icon or entry in the menus.

[07:15] <r00tintheb0x> ok themaster369 do you have virtualbox installed on ubuntu?
[07:15] <mikebot> sudo: updateb: command not found
[07:15] <mikebot> ah

[07:16] <mikebot> Dr_willis: Didn't at all... I used to use Peerguardian on windows, and I'm trying to find something kinda like that.
[07:16] <r00tintheb0x> ok open up a terminal
[07:16] <BMT> afs, thanks..i will try that
[07:16] <genii> bluefox83: #ubuntu-effects
[07:16] <dwxreaper> how to I set permissions for a directory it's subdirectories and files at once?
[07:16] <themaster369> terminal open
[07:16] <afs> BMT: in my experience that program eats everything. including iso-images containing an avi file and such
[07:16] <Dr_willis> mikebot,  peerguardian is not like 'snort'  if i rember right. Peerguardian is an anti-spam/ad/whatever  proxy
[07:17] <Dr_willis> mikebot,  i thought 'privoxy' was the linux  port of peerguardian
[07:17] <r00tintheb0x> themaster369, type "lshw |grep CD"
[07:17] <Dr_willis> mikebot,  i may be confused however. :) been ages since i used peerguardian

[07:17] <r00tintheb0x> TheMafia, do you see your cdrom there?
[07:17] <mikebot> I'll look at privoxy, thanks.
[07:17] <dwxreaper> how to I set permissions for a directory it's subdirectories and files at once?
[07:17] <themaster369> ok its says WARNING: you should run this program as super-user
[07:18] <preaction> dwxreaper, chmod -R
[07:18] <r00tintheb0x> okay, then do this.
[07:18] <r00tintheb0x> "sudo -i"
[07:18] <r00tintheb0x> then "lshw |grep CD"
[07:18] <themaster369> done
[07:18] <Dr_willis> mikebot,  snort is proberly NOT what you are looking for then. Check out 'Tor' and 'privoxy' for web surfing anonimity. :)

[07:19] <themaster369> it prompted for password then nothing came up
[07:20] <hoster> http://castlehost.0lx.net/index.php

[07:28] <ljharval> home_, there s a directory in root i think called grub its in there
[07:28] <home_> help
[07:28] <genii> home_: There is an entry of around 5 lines in /boot/grub/menu.lst which chainloads XP/Windows. Move those lines above the first linux entry.
[07:29] <themaster369> rootinthebox any ideas?
[07:29] <Ongaku> its a taz.bz2 file...how do you install it? I got it off teh zsnes website
[07:29] <r00tintheb0x> master
[07:29] <Dr_willis> genii,  theres an example entry abobve all them that you can just uncomment also.
[07:29] <home_> i feel stupid i am so not geek
[07:29] <atlfalcons866> will i see a speed difference if i use xfs over jfs
[07:29] <disinterested> dstadulis: ru useing gparted?:
[07:29] <genii> Dr_willis: Ah, good :)
[07:29] <dstadulis> disinterested: Yes
[07:29] <ljharval> genii, you can change the number that boots first so you dont mave anything around
[07:29] <r00tintheb0x> themaster369, what was the output of "sudo lshw |grep CD"?
[07:30] <dwxreaper> i did a autoclean, then remove, then uninstall, then install. before the package installed ok
[07:30] <disinterested> u can unmount it there and partition it
[07:30] <Dr_willis> home_,  the line -------> default         0
[07:30] <genii> ljharval: The "savedefault" thing i find doesn't work
[07:30] <dstadulis> disinterested: I am trying to follow this tutorial: http://xubuntublog.wordpress.com/2007/07/03/xubuntu-feisty-now-from-usb-drive/  and It recoommends you use thunar to keep your drive from remounting
[07:30] <hyphenated> home_: you need to edit /boot/grub/menu.list
[07:30] <home_> ok i typed in konsole 'sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst'
[07:30] <dwxreaper> now it does not work right, I can run the software from the command line, but when I installed it from the package the first time
[07:30] <Dr_willis> home_,  selects what default entry to boot. edit that 0 to be the # of the windows entry.
[07:30] <themaster369> it did something then came back to root
[07:30] <dwxreaper> it pushed many arguments and it's what I needed
[07:30] <genii> Dr_willis: Tells you how much attention i pay to the commented lines there nowadays... ;)
[07:30] <dstadulis> disinterested: and I did follow the steps it suggested
[07:30] <shaquille> anyone know how to make unrar extract multiple archives at once that are in the same directory? i tried unrar x *.rar but it doesn't work
[07:30] <Dr_willis> genii,  i always uncomment them so i got windows at 0 position,. and it wont move about. :)
[07:31] <Dr_willis> genii,  makes setting the default easier.
[07:31] <disinterested> it took me several times to get read and write on mine
[07:31] <Ongaku> this is weird...how u do this? it says I can't open it
[07:31] <rambo3> shaquille: just the first
[07:31] <themaster369> i got the next line
[07:31] <home_> ok i got something pulled up here says menu.lst
[07:31] <hyphenated> home_: ok, good. now find the line that says 'default 1'
[07:31] <themaster369> almost as if nothing happened
[07:31] <hyphenated> or default 0
[07:31] <themaster369> does that mean my DVD is missing?
[07:31] <r00tintheb0x> themaster369, does it look something like this? http://pastebin.ca/raw/700904
[07:31] <uptownben> Does anyone fax from ubuntu?
[07:32] <home_> there is one without a # that says default 0
[07:32] <shaquille> rambo3: what do you mean?
[07:32] <hyphenated> home_: the # means it's a comment
[07:32] <dstadulis> disinterested: so I unmount it, then I refresh my devices to check to see if it is unmounted and it is mounted again :(
[07:32] <hyphenated> home_: none without a comment?
[07:32] <Ongaku> im a total newb to this...just started using this last week...so I don't know how to install a file with out doing apt-get insall
[07:32] <themaster369> nope
[07:32] <Ongaku> install*
[07:32] <themaster369> nothing comes up at all
[07:32] <themaster369> its just blank!!!
[07:32] <disinterested> why ru refreshing?
[07:33] <hyphenated> home_: mine says "default         1", you should make yours say "default         saved"
[07:33] <home_> one line says default 0 and the other line without a # says timeout 10
[07:33] <rambo3> shaquille: unrar e file1.rar
[07:33] <r00tintheb0x> okay themaster369 hold up
[07:33] <dstadulis> disinterested: to check to see if it is unmounted, should I not do that?
[07:33] <themaster369> sure
[07:33] <themaster369> why do people put! then someones name?
[07:33] <disinterested> do u get a disk icon on ur desktop when its mounted?
[07:34] <B_166-ER-X>  #beauce
[07:34] <B_166-ER-X>  #beaucesry
[07:34] <B_166-ER-X> grrr
[07:34] <Ongaku> The filename "zsnes151src.tar.bz2" indicates that this file is of type "tar archive (bzip-compressed)". The contents of the file indicate that the file is of type "plain text document". If you open this file, the file might present a security risk to your system. wtf that mean lol
[07:34] <B_166-ER-X> Sorry
[07:34] <B_166-ER-X> my err.
[07:34] <r00tintheb0x> themaster369, do you get anything back from this command?? "grep cdrom /etc/fstab"
[07:34] <dstadulis> disinterested: The reason I was refreshing is because when I unmount it I get a popup of a directory called disk-1 and a lost&found directory inside
[07:34] <genii> themaster369: When you see !something | a-name       people are telling the bot to spit up some info it knows about and direct it to a specific user
[07:35] <giany911> i need a little bit of help .. how can i convert some .ogg's  and make an audio cd?
[07:35] <disinterested> in gparted when u unm,ount the drive it should stay unmounted
[07:35] <themaster369> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37709/
[07:35] <avds> who and why decided to make 'admin' a restricted name in gutsy?
[07:35] <themaster369> heres my output
[07:35] <avds> it's really annoying
[07:35] <themaster369> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/37709/
[07:35] <dstadulis> disinterested: I think maybe because it is a usb thumbdrive it is trying to remount it automatically.
[07:35] <giany911> i need a little bit of help .. how can i convert some .ogg's  and make an audio cd?
[07:35] <shaquille> hmm. that didn't work. each archive is different, they're not numbered archives
[07:36] <ozozo> hi
[07:36] <Ongaku> do i do that cd thinger and ./configure it? the tar.bz2 file?
[07:36] <avds> as most people use admin in servers for, well, administrator accounts
[07:36] <themaster369> hi ozozo
[07:36] <disinterested> try doing it without refreshing and see if u can complete the operation
[07:36] <rambo3> giany911: use k3b
[07:36] <dstadulis> giany911: soundconverter
[07:36] <avds> where should I complain in regard "who and why decided to make 'admin' a restricted name in gutsy?"
[07:37] <giany911> thx
[07:37] <rambo3> avds: #null
[07:37] <home_> how do i saave now using 'sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst'
[07:37] <themaster369> rootinthebox ill be back in 20mins i pasted results here
[07:37] <frostburn> avds, you can't use adduser to make an admin account?
[07:37] <LjL> avds: in #ubuntu+1, since that's the Gusty channel. but aside from that... i don't know about this issue, but "admin" has always been the name of a *group* in Ubuntu. better avoid creating, say, users with the name "admin"
[07:37] <genii> avds: Try #ubuntu+1
[07:37] <dstadulis> disinterested: ok so this is what I tried: refresh, unmount, delete partition, create new partition, get an error message: "/dev/sdf2 is mounted; will not make a filesystem here!"
[07:38] <erUSUL> home_: Crtl + O and then Crtl + X
[07:38] <Ongaku> ah someone help me :( how the crap do i install zsnes?

[07:38] <ubotu> zsnes: Emulator of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (TM). In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1.420-2.1ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 513 kB, installed size 3232 kB (Only available for i386)
[07:38] <erUSUL> Ongaku: sudo apt-get remove zsnes
[07:38] <bobgill> I am getting this in aMSN: "The Snack library is needed in order to use this feature. A minimal version of 2.2.9 is necessary." for voice clips
[07:38] <Dr_willis> Ongaku,  sudo apt-get install zsnes
[07:38] <branstrom> The website for file-roller says it supports .sit
[07:38] <Ongaku> i tried that but it doesnt pop up in my applications
[07:38] <Dr_willis> Ongaku,  you are on the 32bit ubuntu? not 64?
[07:38] <Dr_willis> Ongaku,  when in doubt.. USE THE shell. :)
[07:38] <r00tintheb0x> themaster369, try "mount /media/cdrom0"
[07:38] <Ongaku> 32 bit
[07:38] <r00tintheb0x> have you tried that?
[07:39] <Dr_willis> Ongaku,  menus proberly dident get refreshed or somthing.
[07:39] <disinterested> i dont understand why it keeps mounting i guess u need someone with more experience with that
[07:39] <Ongaku> ah maybe
[07:39] <|Skull|> hey guys, I have an odd (to me) problem here... I have a XFX Geforce 6200, works fine when I have one monitor plugged into the vga port. But, when I plug in my tv as a 2nd monitor on the DVI port and boot up, all is fine, till the login screen, where It's blue with lines going through it.... any ida?
[07:39] <RichW> Hi, the passwd command is missing --stdin. yet redhat systems have it.. i need a way to add my password to ubuntu without having to type manually
[07:39] <avds> using 'administrator' is DULL and reminds me of windows
[07:40] <atlfalcons866> will i see a speed difference if i use xfs over jfs
[07:40] <avds> yet there needs to be an administrator role
[07:40] <Ongaku> still not there...
[07:40] <dstadulis> disinterested: I think it is something to do with it being a usb thumb drive. here is what the tutorial says: "As your partitions need to stay unmounted, I recommend you to turn of Volume ManagementTo do so, open Thunar, ...make sure Enable Volume Management is unchecked."
[07:41] <fav3> Any networking people available? I think I have a simple question
[07:41] <fav3> Hello All, I am having a networking problem in 7.04. I installed yesterday and was running fine however today when I try to connect to a website via Firefox, opera, or even IE6.

[07:44] <Kilroo> I seem to be missing stddef.h, stdarg.h, and several other files that things (Mesa in particular) want to include when I make them. So far everything it has been suggested to me that I might be missing that could cause this, I seem to have installed. Can anyone venture a possible solution?
[07:44] <[nrx] > Kilroo: you need to install the linux headers
[07:44] <fav3> but in my VM which is running now It's fine
[07:44] <Kr0ntab> Ongaku, it may not have a Gnome menu item...  you typically launch it from a terminal.  You can also create a launcher in your menu easily.
[07:44] <amimusa> for centrino (core duo) the architecture is i386, isn't it ?
[07:44] <uptownben> How can I print to a fax on ubuntu without having to print to a file first?

[07:46] <genii> fav3: There's the problem. No external nameservers
[07:46] <f0rked_> Hello, what is the difference between apt-get and aptitude?
[07:47] <|Skull|> r00tintheb0x what should I look for?
[07:47] <pandora--> noooo ATI drivers dont work in Xorg 7.2! quake!? :( :(
[07:47] <Kr0ntab> Ongaku, just type "zsnes"
[07:47] <r00tintheb0x> aptitude = apt-get + apt-cache
[07:47] <fav3> really? never even knew that file existed
[07:47] <Ongaku> oh ok
[07:47] <pandora--> damnit ATI...
[07:47] <stdin> !aptitude | f0rked_
[07:47] <ubotu> f0rked_: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT, like apt-get. However, aptitude can remember the dependencies installed with a package and remove them if you uninstall. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide
[07:47] <Ongaku> hahah thanks
[07:47] <fav3> how do I "fix" this
[07:47] <radu> is there a reason why Anjuta IDE has been rolled back to 1.2 version when upstream is 2.x ?
[07:47] <f0rked_> Alright, thanks
[07:47] <Ongaku> now how can i create a menu item for it?
[07:47] <r00tintheb0x> |Skull|, what are you hooking your video card into again? A TV?
[07:47] <Kilroo> [nrx] : According to Synaptic I have linux-headers-2.6.20-15, linux-headers-2.6.20-15-generic, linux-headers-2.6.20-16, linux-headers-2.6.20-16-generic, linux-headers-generic, and linux-libc-dev.
[07:48] <pandora--> anyone know how to get ATI drivers working in xorg 7.2?
[07:48] <frostburn> fav3, you don't need an external nameserver, as long as your router is working fine.  your vm might have a temporary nameserver list which is why it's still working
[07:48] <callas> yo
[07:48] <Kr0ntab> Ongaku, if you right click on your applications menu, you can edit menu's...  go to games... and add a new item, or launcher...  just give it a name... and the command of "zsnes"
[07:48] <|Skull|> rootvzla ya, vga goes to monitor, dvi goes to tv
[07:48] <Ongaku> ah ok thanks alot kr0ntab
[07:48] <fav3> Yeah I'm sure my router is fine other 3 PC's are all working
[07:48] <Kr0ntab> Ongaku, np..
[07:48] <Ongaku> :)
[07:48] <fav3> just my ubuntu gave up
[07:48] <Ongaku> off to play Lodoss tou Senki :) yay
[07:49] <|Skull|> r00tintheb0x actually, i got it to display a screen now... but it's turned off the dvi port... so i'll continue to screw around with it...
[07:49] <fav3> the funny thign is that even though I can't ping a web address, it doesn't let me connect to my router either
[07:49] <fav3> I should be able to manage my router regardless of DNS
[07:49] <frostburn> indeed
[07:49] <r00tintheb0x> ok |Skull| i've never done it... but basicaly your resolutions messed up. You'er going to have to play w/it to get it correct. This should help. http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/100.14.11/README/index.html
[07:49] <rootvzla> hi Skull
[07:49] <fav3> wonder if I can get to my router thru the VM
[07:50] <genii> frostburn: Might be the static settings for gw or so in /etc/network/interfaces
[07:50] <vancomycin> i was playing around with the desktop effects, just wobble and cube - now my menus all disappeared from bottom and top - how do i reboot w/o powering off?
[07:50] <shrimants> hello, im having a major problem with my graphics card and ubuntu feisty
[07:50] <[nrx] > Kilroo: what are you trying to install?
[07:50] <callas> investigating
[07:50] <Toptyg> hi all
[07:50] <frostburn> vancomycin, ctrl alt backspace, restarts x
[07:50] <astate> i'm using feisty...is there anyway I can install a single package (rails) for gutsy to get the latest version? (1.2.3-2)
[07:51] <brea> Is it possible to install a package from here (http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/sound/lame) using dpkg or something?
[07:51] <Toptyg> how to install Java for browser on ubuntu ?
[07:51] <Kilroo> [nrx] : Mesa 7.0.1
[07:51] <fav3> Is there a way to "reload" my NIC card?
[07:51] <shrimants> i installed ubuntu just fine, and after it was done updating (but before restarting) i compiled drivers from nvidia. now my grub lists both the .15 and .16 generic kernels, and as far as .16 is concerned, graphics wont boot and screen isnt recognized
[07:51] <dgjones> !java | Toptyg
[07:51] <fav3> That will probably wipe out my VM settings however
[07:52] <frostburn> fav3, /etc/init.d/networking restart might fix it
[07:52] <frostburn> sudo*
[07:52] <vancomycin> ok back thank you whoever told me that
[07:52] <fav3> I do that but I get errors
[07:52] <ubotu> Toptyg: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[07:52] <genii> fav3: There is also ifconfig ethX up/down
[07:53] <fav3> default nic card is "normally" eth0 right?
[07:53] <shrimants> anyone good with graphics drivers here?
[07:53] <Toptyg> thanks..
[07:53] <frostburn> yes
[07:53] <praet> fav3: yes
[07:53] <BMT> now vlc is not working every piece of software i install to try to watch video is not working
[07:53] <frostburn> ifup eth0 ifdown eth0 works as well, less typing
[07:53] <[nrx] > Kilroo: can you paste the actuall error into a pastebin?
