[02:42] <kahrytan> Anyone else feel like tackling my printer challnge?
[02:42] <sFEARs> sounds like you'd need a script brunner
[02:42] <sFEARs> i'm not sure where to go next kahrytan
[02:43] <kahrytan> Anyone else feel like tackling my printer challenge? HPLIP/Cups doesnt print but marks job as completed
[02:43] <brunner> sFEARs: indeed. and in order to write one, I need to figure out where the default printer setting is stored. any ideas where to go for that?
[02:43] <sFEARs> not yet
[02:44] <Eno_> does anyone know why my wine takes a few minutes to start? even winecfg does
[02:44] <Eno_> in gutsy
[02:44] <sFEARs> most prefs are stored in /home/user folder.. mabey there's a printer folder in there somewhere
[02:44] <sFEARs> sorry.. /home/user_name
[02:44] <sFEARs> make sure view hidden files is selected
[02:45] <Eno_> i also upgraded to the one in winehq.org, but its also slow
[02:45] <Lore1> Anyone know if you can setup right click to drag + drop files?
[02:46] <Lore1> or how to turn off image thumbnails for icons on the desktop.
[02:46] <bazhang> Lore1: as in kde?
[02:46] <prappl93> I need some help
[02:46] <Lore1> i'm using gnome 2.2 atm
[02:46] <sFEARs> don't we all prappl93
[02:46] <no0tic> Lore1, setup the mouse for lefties
[02:47] <Bucketface> uh, is anyone able to help, or confirm their inability to help?
[02:47] <Lore1> I like being able to right click files and dragging them and on drop having a option menu pop up for copy item / move item + other scripts
[02:47] <sFEARs> i was thinking that no0tic
[02:47] <prappl93> I am trying to install Ubuntu 7.10, it gets to about 52%, and then crashes because 1 file is corrupted... and I cannot boot to my other OS that I had on, help!
[02:47] <prappl93> I am using a LiveCD
[02:47] <psykidellic> Hi. "find directory/ -name *.xml | xargs cat | grep text" to look for files containing some text. Any simpler version?
[02:47] <mks> ubuntu is for winners
[02:47] <bazhang> that is available in kde/kubuntu Lore1 not sure how to do that in gnome however
[02:48] <Bucketface> prappl93, I think your partitions got messed up
[02:48] <sFEARs> you could open your mouse and solder a jumper wire from the left to right mouse button...
[02:48] <Lore1> true
[02:48] <no0tic> psykidellic, it searches for xml files that contain the word "text"
[02:48] <prappl93> Bucketface, I was trying to over-write all partitions, and it messed up the Grub loader for Kubuntu
[02:48] <psykidellic> no0tic, yeah i know. I was thinking there would be a more easy way instead of 2 pipes!
[02:49] <sFEARs> prappl93, sudo fdisk -l will list your current partitions
[02:49] <no0tic> psykidellic, try grep text *.xml in directory/
[02:49] <airtonix> who has : gutsy, an ati 9600 rv350 card and bigdesktop
[02:49] <prappl93> sFEARS, now what
[02:50] <sFEARs> what are you trying to do?
[02:50] <no0tic> psykidellic, only if they are in that dir (even subdirs I think)
[02:50] <prappl93> I am installing Ubuntu, and it gets about half done and it crashes because a file on the disc is messed up, and it is too late to go back to my other version of Linux because it overwrote too much of it and will not load
[02:51] <airtonix> prappl93: then you need to burn it again
[02:51] <sFEARs> yeah
[02:51] <sFEARs> not much you can do at this point
[02:51] <prappl93> airtonix: it is impossible seeing as I am using a LiveCD right now and cannot boot to the main
[02:51] <Lore1> actually you know the LiveCD creates a ramdisk and runs from that.
[02:52] <sFEARs> you can burn off the liveCD can't you?
[02:52] <airtonix> prappl93: use another computer, and in future use the test disc upon boot before proceeding with install
[02:52] <airtonix> no
[02:52] <Jack_Sparrow> prappl93: dont mean to interrupt..
[02:52] <sFEARs> ohh.. crappy
[02:52] <airtonix> not without a whole lot of stuffing around
[02:52] <IndyGunFreak> !cups
[02:52] <ubotu> Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[02:52] <Lore1> i think it'd be possible to download a new iso to the ramdisk and burn it onto the live cd wouldn't it?
[02:52] <airtonix> yes
[02:53] <sFEARs> i thought liveCD had full functionality
[02:53] <Jack_Sparrow> prappl93: did your formatting include deleting partitions that were on the drive ahead of ubuntu.. and the drive letter designation changed.. you may have only lost grub
[02:53] <chuckf> Lore1, with lots of ram, yes
[02:53] <airtonix> you thought wrong
[02:53] <sFEARs> it happens
[02:53] <airtonix> its how we learn..all good
[02:53] <jack`> how do i change the active window in knoppix default irc
[02:54] <Lore1> I've done it once but then my machine also sports 4gb of ram.
[02:54] <Lore1> you get it all running condoulo?
[02:54] <prappl93> Who's idea was it to try the iso thing?
[02:54] <Condoulo> Lore1- Nope. Not yet.
[02:54] <jack`> > I've done it once but then my machine also sports 4gb of ram.
[02:54] <jack`> 21:54 -!- Condoulo<EMAIL_ADDRESS>has joined #ubuntu
[02:55] <jack`> woops
[02:55] <sFEARs> Condoulo, try creating another user and logging in and try to print.. you can see if the issue is local to your user
[02:55] <Jack_Sparrow> prappl93: did you do the self test on the cd before trying to install it to your hard drive?
[02:55] <airtonix> if you had a second cd drive that burns then you could apt-get isntall brasero or sumfing
[02:55] <prappl93> Jack_Sparrow... obviously not
[02:55] <Condoulo> sFEARs- Wha. o-O
[02:55] <Silmeria> you can test it before you install o.O
[02:55] <sFEARs> log in as a different user
[02:55] <sFEARs> and try to print.. see if you get the same error
[02:56] <Jack_Sparrow> prappl93: No so obvious. it could be a different problem

[02:56] <Condoulo> I'm trying to fix GRUB, not print. o-O
[02:56] <Lore1> condoulo was working on getting his grub working, think it was someone else that had the print problem
[02:56] <airtonix> prappl93: can you put a burner in the machine your live botting on?
[02:56] <prappl93> Airtonix: laptop
[02:56] <sFEARs> ohhh yeah.. my bad
[02:56] <prappl93> Could I read the iso file without it being on a disc?
[02:57] <sFEARs> did that grub how to list how to figure out the physical location of the hard drive??
[02:57] <jack`> my grub is broken too, because my old master drive died and the grub config needs edited i think?
[02:57] <airtonix> prappl93: got any usb drives? thunb drive? mayube download a small linux live and boot from usb then use laptop burner there?
[02:57] <prappl93> Can you read the iso file to install it without it on a CD?
[02:57] <Silmeria> you can test it before you install o.O?
[02:57] <Silmeria> whoops
[02:58] <jack`> how do i edit grub to not care about the old 40gb being there
[02:58] <sFEARs> Automagic Kernels List check out that part... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto?highlight=%28gru%29
[02:58] <Silmeria> all i need is a '/' partition and a '/home' partition for ubuntu manual install, right?
[02:58] <eliasz> hey guys, just wondering why my spell checking in OOffice on 7.10 isn't working out of the box?
[02:58] <eliasz> do i need a lib?
[02:58] <sFEARs> Silmeria.. you also need a /swap
[02:59] <airtonix> Silmeria: when isntalling I put my system on / to a 8gb-10gb partition the n I put my /home to a partition of the rest of the drive space
[02:59] <airtonix> yeah and I usually put the sawp partition as the first partition
[02:59] <airtonix> eliasz: sudo apt-cache search open-office
[02:59] <Condoulo> I made an Entry in grub for windows XP, put in the hard drive root, and partition. o-o Still XP won't boot, and GRUB won't show a list.
[02:59] <Silmeria> so
[02:59] <Silmeria> i need
[02:59] <airtonix> eliasz: or other some such package name
[03:00] <Silmeria> three partitions?
[03:00] <Silmeria> or does '/home' count as '/'?
[03:00] <airtonix> Silmeria: ideally
[03:00] <Silmeria> @_@
[03:00] <Silmeria> i used to know this stuff ><
[03:00] <airtonix> Silmeria: then you can fresh install over / partition with nerw veriosn and keep all your home files
[03:00] <Silmeria> ah ok... isnt there a max size u need to make swap?
[03:00] <Silmeria> like any bigger would be stupid?
[03:00] <airtonix> Silmeria: which prevent you from having to setup everything again
[03:01] <eliasz> airtonix, that give tones of results....any suggestions to narrow the search
[03:01] <airtonix> Silmeria: yes there is a limit for diminshing returns
[03:01] <airtonix> eliasz: it was a suggestion
[03:01] <Silmeria> what was that limit again...
[03:01] <airtonix> eliasz: I suggest you search through it
[03:01] <Silmeria> >.>
[03:01] <Silmeria> isnt it like... over 2 gb is useless
[03:01] <Silmeria> or something..
[03:01] <Silmeria> or maybe thats '/'.... GAH
[03:01] <airtonix> Silmeria: my assumption is that anything mor than double your real ram is too much
[03:01] <eliasz> ok, airtonix thanks :D
[03:02] <Silmeria> ah ok so 2gb it is
[03:02] <Silmeria> 2g swap and how much would be logical for '/'? i know to just put whatevers left in /home?
[03:02] <airtonix> eliasz: the https://help.ubuntu.community site is good
[03:02] <sFEARs> more than 2 gigs of swap proally doesn't do much.. large swap helps mostly with recovering from hibernation
[03:02] <Silmeria> aaahhhh...
[03:02] <airtonix> yeah I only have mine set at around 1gb....im not even sure if that s good
[03:02] <jack`> FloodBot1, that doesnt sound like a good name
[03:02] <airtonix> and I have 1gb of ram
[03:03] <Silmeria> airtonix, your swap or '/'?
[03:03] <airtonix> swap
[03:03] <Silmeria> i also have 1g ram
[03:03] <Silmeria> for now
[03:03] <regeya> by all means, jack`, carry on a conversation with the bot ;->
[03:03] <eliasz> hmmm, the myspell package for en-gb is already there...bah, ill run it through google docs after i finish. No time now to fix. Ill take a sollutions if anyone has one :)
[03:03] <Silmeria> Lol
[03:03] <regeya> anyone here have an everex laptop?  just curious to see what y'all think of 'em.
[03:04] <Silmeria> airtonix, how big is your '/' and '/home', or is asking that redundant?

[03:04] <sFEARs> cheers to that airtonix
[03:04] <jack`> i would like to carry on a conversation with someone who knows how to fix my grub, since my old master drive died

[03:07] <T70K5> www.dslreports.com
[03:07] <airtonix> craine: wget a remote file and monitor it with jnettop
[03:07] <destiney> change: there's a gcc - the complete reference, check amazon or where ever
[03:07] <Lore1> I was just noticing last night that i had to disconnect all but the sata drive to prevent the installer from formatting all devices at the end of setup regardless of manual override.
[03:07] <change> destiney, thanks
[03:07] <airtonix> Lore1: sorry no idea
[03:08] <hal9k2010> hello all
[03:08] <phrantik> hi'
[03:08] <craine> airtonix: jnettop
[03:08] <Silmeria> this prolly isnt the place but how can i install XP when the install tells me "setup cant detect any hard disks on your system"
[03:08] <airtonix> !jnettop | craine
[03:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about jnettop - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[03:08] <kidbuntu> help please.. i'm getting anoyed with this eog error in my terminal.. couldnt fix it with -f install and dpkg --config
[03:08] <sFEARs> i would say you can't Silmeria
[03:09] <kidbuntu> E: eog: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[03:09] <airtonix> jnettop - View hosts/ports taking up the most network traffic
[03:09] <Lore1> if your bios isn't detecting the hard disk devices you can't silmeria
[03:09] <sFEARs> i wonder why it can't detect a hard drive
[03:09] <Silmeria> i google`d and it said
[03:09] <Silmeria> something about SATA drivers
[03:09] <Silmeria> so i tried tinyXP
[03:09] <Silmeria> rev 05
[03:09] <airtonix> craine: its bascially top for netowork instead of cpu
[03:09] <Silmeria> wiht the sata drivers
[03:10] <airtonix> craine: or try ntop
[03:10] <Silmeria> nvm, about ubuntu, is 7.10 much differnet than 7.04?
[03:10] <craine> airtonix: thanks so i'll just go apt-get install ntop
[03:10] <Silmeria> i dont want to change since i KNOW 7.04 works...
[03:10] <airtonix> craine: or there is a bandwidthd for usage over time
[03:10] <airtonix> craine: you might need multiverse repos
[03:11] <Lore1> the upgrade tool doesn't seem to work properly for migration from 7.04 to 7.10. I'm getting a fetch error
[03:11] <airtonix> http://jnettop.kubs.info/wiki/
[03:11] <jarrod_> whats the cmd for making a symlink?
[03:11] <Silmeria> im scared of 7.10 from all the people in here :< i think ill just go with 7.04
[03:11] <sFEARs> Lorel.. have you done all the upgrade first.. you can't always just jump into distro upgrade
[03:12] <airtonix> Silmeria: you have better luck getting bigdesktop going at least
[03:12] <Silmeria> airtonix,  have no clue what that means
[03:12] <robdig> jarrod_: ln -s name-of-symlink path-to-target
[03:12] <destiney> Silmeria: I got a newer dell at my work, and tons of stuff got "fixed" when I upgraded to 7.10.. missing drivers, got compiz working with my ati, sound is stereo not mono anymore.  got one little gdm bug to resolve still but that's worth it to me
[03:12] <kidbuntu> E: eog: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[03:12] <kidbuntu> E: eog: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[03:12] <kidbuntu> help please.. i'm getting anoyed with this eog error in my terminal.. couldnt fix it with -f install and dpkg --config
[03:12] <craine> airtonix: what is a multiverse repos
[03:13] <robdig> kidbuntu: what are you installing?
[03:13] <Silmeria> 7.04 worked with my crappy HP
[03:13] <Silmeria> so im pretty sure it will work with this VAIO
[03:13] <Silmeria> someone said there is a test thing you can do before install?
[03:13] <Silmeria> is this to check combatibility?
[03:13] <sFEARs> there're proally not much hardware wise you can buy in the U.S.A. that won't work with major distros of linux
[03:13] <kidbuntu> robdig: actually i forgot already.. i can still install other application and other updates.. but after the installation there is always a last message that just i posted
[03:13] <Silmeria> heh i agree they are good at that
[03:14] <Silmeria> so what about this '/' '/home' thing
[03:14] <r00tintheb0x> TEH INTERNETS! OMF!
[03:14] <robdig> kidbuntu: so this is the last thing you see after apt-get?
[03:14] <Silmeria> how big should each be :<
[03:15] <robdig> kidbuntu: sb apt-get install
[03:15] <kidbuntu> robdig: yes. whether i use the terminal or the gui itself
[03:15] <asdf> hi, got a problem when i start the computer .. got error message; Failed starting the Operating System
[03:15] <kidbuntu> robdig: whats the "sb"?
[03:15] <sFEARs> what did you do diffferent that caused that error asdf?
[03:15] <Lore1> /home is where the user profiles are stored similar to the Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop on windows xp silmeria
[03:15] <robdig> kidbuntu: should be
[03:16] <kidbuntu> ok
[03:16] <kidbuntu> robdig: yes.. even with apt get install
[03:16] <Silmeria> yay thank you :> so /home doesnt need to be THAT big
[03:16] <kidbuntu> even with sudo apt-get -f install
[03:16] <Silmeria> / needs to be bigger
[03:16] <asdf> nothing , just when i started the computer the message came
[03:16] <kidbuntu> robdig: the error message keeps on popping up
[03:16] <saurdo> how come I can't figure out my root password?
[03:16] <Silmeria> so / is like the C drive then... duh...
[03:16]  * Silmeria fail
[03:17] <jacob> anybody here uses BMP player?
[03:17] <Lore1> Silmeria: well linux is a bit different from windows in that all hard drives follow a directory structure tree starting from /
[03:17] <Silmeria> yea i remember some of it i just wasnt making the connection, thanks
[03:17] <saurdo> is there a default ubuntu root password?
[03:17] <robdig> kidbuntu: hmm, don't know if it will help, but let me look at something
[03:17] <kidbuntu> robdig: and i frequently get the message failed to initialize HAL i have to restart the computer 1 or twice and get a luck to run the ubuntu correctly and connect to the internet
[03:17] <jacob> i'm having problems importing all my music in a folder with BMP
[03:17] <phrantik> same as user password

[03:17] <CochiseIRL> saurdo, your root password is you user pasword
[03:18] <mrpockets> I've got my sound working, but it doesnt play from an Internet site
[03:18] <kidbuntu> robdig: i'll paste the whole thing
[03:18] <saurdo> That doesn't seem to be working
[03:18] <Lore1> mrpockets: what kind of plugin are you trying to use to play the song?
[03:18] <Silmeria> Lore1, so i can set aside like 3gig for /home or would that be rediculously huge?
[03:18] <naelr> silmeria my home is 100 gigs
[03:18] <Silmeria> o.O
[03:18] <Silmeria> nice lol
[03:18] <Silmeria> thats about my whole hd >>
[03:18] <kahrytan> all it does it print same classified page over and over and over again
[03:19] <mrpockets> Youtube.
[03:19] <kidbuntu> robdig: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45965/
[03:19] <sFEARs> kahrytan.. have you tried logging in as a different user?
[03:19] <Silmeria> so /home gets more use than /?
[03:19] <naelr> home is where you store all your files... root can be like 10-20 gigs that should be more then enough if that is what your looking for
[03:19] <fortify> hey all i went to places connect to network then ftp. now everytime i reboot my comptuer it mounts itsself on my desktop. how do i remove this?
[03:19] <CochiseIRL> Silmeria, if /home is a different partition remember all your music etc will be stored in the home partiton, so 3gigs wouldnt be much for it then.
[03:19] <airtonix> saurdo: you only have aroot password (which is your user password) if you are the first uesr ....otehr sie you have to be added to the sudo list
[03:19] <Lore1> the way i've got mine setup is 10gb for root and then I mount a data partition in /media
[03:19] <Silmeria> ill just be doing stuff like mysql, php more web stuff blah blah
[03:19] <naelr> Silmeria yea your files will probably take up more room then the installed software
[03:19] <CochiseIRL> Silmeria, use around 10gigs for / and the rest for /home
[03:19] <mrpockets> lorel Im using Youtube
[03:19] <T70K5> Can I ask a question? What does a swap partition do exactly? Is it similar to the Page File in Windows?
[03:19] <naelr> Silmeria: go for 20 gigs
[03:19] <nightdragon> TITTIES! I LOVE EM! WOOT!
[03:20] <CochiseIRL> T70K5, yup
[03:20] <Nwallins|home> what multi-head gfx card have the best ubuntu support?
[03:20]  * Silmeria confused
[03:20] <airtonix> Silmeria: home is the same as windows document & settings folder
[03:20] <Lore1> so the sound won't play when you use your flash player?
[03:20] <regeya> !offtopic
[03:20] <kidbuntu> nightdragon: yeah yeah.. everyone does
[03:20] <T70K5> and the maximum you should allocate is 2x the MB/GB of ram you have, correct?
[03:20] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[03:20] <MrPockets> right
[03:20] <robdig> kidbuntu: yuck, HAL is the hardware abstraction layer...i know it exists but i don't know anything about it
[03:20] <MrPockets> lorel correct
[03:20] <Silmeria> wut this is about ubuntu :(
[03:20] <T70K5> and it is mount point / ?
[03:20] <sethk> T70K5, there is no longer any relationship between swap and physical memory
[03:20] <regeya> HAL, open the pod bay doors.
[03:20] <airtonix> Silmeria: so if you put the /home folder on a antoher physical drive or partition....all the user accounts you make will go under that folder...protected of course
[03:21] <T70K5> explain it to me plz
[03:21] <sethk> T70K5, in many cases you don't need any swap at all.
[03:21] <Lore1> mrpockets: how do you have your sound setup atm, are you using OSS or ALSA?
[03:21] <robdig> kidbuntu: on the other hand eog is eye of gnome, you might try uninstalling eog...sudo apt-get remove eog or something
[03:21] <kidbuntu> robdig: ok... then how about with the eog error thing
[03:21] <MrPockets> alsa
[03:21] <Silmeria> ok then ill do 15g for both. that work?
[03:21] <regeya> eye of gnome...way more intuitive a name than anything the kompetition can throw at it
[03:21] <kidbuntu> robdig: ok.. didnt know it was eye of gnome
[03:21] <airtonix> Silmeria: I wouldn't
[03:21] <sethk> T70K5, and the idea that swap is somehow limited by a ratio to main memory is 30 years old and 15 years outdated
[03:21] <Silmeria> airtonix, =o
[03:21] <airtonix> Silmeria: like I said before
[03:21] <kidbuntu> robdig: let me try to uninstall
[03:21] <airtonix> Silmeria: 10g for '/' , 1g for swap, rest of space for /home
[03:21] <T70K5> ok, I misinterpreted what I read earlier and was thinking something else
[03:22] <sethk> T70K5, today, memory is cheap and disk is cheap.  Make enough swap so you never need to worry about running out of memory
[03:22] <joules> hey
[03:22] <joules> im  trying to use my bluetooth dongle
[03:22] <joules> so i connect it and the bluetooth icon comes up it finds cellphone and all the stuff but when i try to connect it gives me that---> "obex://[00:13:17:87:22:c8]" is not a valid location
[03:22] <fortify> anyone got time to answer my question plz?
[03:22] <sethk> T70K5, perhaps not, people still quote that "twice as much as memory" idea.
[03:22] <sFEARs> fortify?
[03:22] <Lore1> mrpockets: you might try checking this thread out --http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=516706
[03:22] <airtonix> sethk: show me a cheap motherboard that supports 10gb of ram
[03:22] <T70K5> ok
[03:22] <regeya> !ask | fortify
[03:22] <Silmeria> airtonix, thanks. i think ill do that.
[03:22] <ubotu> fortify: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:22] <UstasW> Hi
[03:22] <UstasW> tell me
[03:22] <sethk> airtonix, I don't need to.  What I'm saying is that the limitation of main memory size does _not_ limit swap
[03:23] <sethk> airtonix, there is a new technique called switched memory
[03:23] <airtonix> sethk:L stupid challnege I know but you need to explain why we don't need a swap
[03:23] <regeya> what the heck is up with these floodbots
[03:23] <sethk> airtonix, I didn't say that.  I said that in many cases you may not need swap
[03:23] <kidbuntu> robdig: why is it there is also a message somewhat written in latin?
[03:23] <airtonix> sethk: like server?
[03:23] <threeseas> Does installing a localhost (for dev and experimentation) on a desktop slow down connecting to the internet as you would on the desktop without the LAMP?
[03:23] <joules> .... anyone familiar with bluetooth?
[03:23] <fortify> i did already
[03:23] <Nwallins|home> what multihead gfx card has the best linux support?
[03:23] <sethk> airtonix, sure, that's one.  Generally depends on what you run, how many people are typically logged in, processes running, etc., etc.
[03:24] <airtonix> threeseas: you question doesn't make sencse. since your mahine is alrady localhost being anetowrk device
[03:24] <CochiseIRL> joules, whats up?
[03:24] <regeya> fortify: since I'm far too lazy to check on that, then no, I don't have time to help.
[03:24] <airtonix> Nwallins|home: not ati
[03:24] <sethk> airtonix, there is a new technology called switched memory which will eliminate the memory on motherboard limitation
[03:24] <axisys> !restrict
[03:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about restrict - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[03:24] <axisys> !restricted
[03:24] <linux88> Ok. So I am trying to install xchat form source and it is asking for glib 2.3.0 but gutsy comes with 2.0-0. why such a later version and how do i install the latests version. sence glib is a dependency for many things.

[03:24] <robdig> kidbuntu: i think that is spanish, looks like it might be related to eog...but then again...
[03:24] <sethk> airtonix, right now, though, it's only used in the high end server market and it's very expensive.
[03:24] <Lore1> Nwallins|home i'm not sure what you mean by multihead, but i believe Nvidia has better driver support atm in linux than ati. I could be wrong though.
[03:25] <Silmeria> i was only asking cause im going to make a new volume for it in xp and install it on that
[03:25] <sethk> airtonix, it's essence is that it talks to memory over an expandable bus.
[03:25] <airtonix> sethk: as per usual
[03:25] <fortify> i opened up a ftp connection VIA (places, connect to service,) and now eveytime i reboot it auto mounts a link to that connection on my desktop.. how do i stop that?
[03:25] <joules> CochiseIRL: ok so i plug the bluetooth dongle in and see my cellphone but when i hit connect it says something like
[03:25] <Silmeria> well, make it unallocated but w/e
[03:25] <airtonix> sethk: oooo nice...dedicated channel
[03:25] <sethk> airtonix, right, but the technology comes down in cost and will eventually make it to the desktop
[03:25] <kidbuntu> robdig: sorry.. yes it was spanish
[03:25] <sFEARs> edit your /etc/fstab file fortify
[03:25] <fortify> ty
[03:25] <regeya> wheee!  apparently dma is enabled on this box, but dang if this isn't running dog slow
[03:25] <kidbuntu> robdig: got it fixed..
[03:25] <sFEARs> yup
[03:25] <jack`> i can't save my changes to devices.map in /grub because i dont have access to the filesystem, even though i'm running pico as root
[03:25] <sFEARs> make sure you use root access
[03:25] <airtonix> sethk: so this would speed up the stuff that used to happen over the intterupt lines?
[03:25] <sethk> airtonix, yes.  the one I studied created a bus similar to PCI express in concept, but much higher in performance.
[03:26] <Ma1> what is the command to check the rendering
[03:26] <sethk> airtonix, yes, exactly.
[03:26] <joules> CochiseIRL: "obex://[00:1a:db:09:54:d1]" is not a valid location.
[03:26] <robdig> kidbuntu: great...hope someone can help you with hal...
[03:26] <airtonix> very nice
[03:26] <regeya> fortify:  I think all you have to do is toss the item into the trash that's on your desktop.
[03:26] <abcent> Hi Guys/Ladies, I've installed Ubuntu 7.10 on my sons (winXP machine), i let ubuntu create partition... Problem is i don't appear to have rights to install anything .... saying something about i386 bla bla ... is there a fix for this.... i'm also a linux newbee
[03:26] <jack`> what do i have to chmod or whatever to get access to devices.map
[03:26] <kidbuntu> robdig: could it be a hardware defect?
[03:26] <threeseas> airtonix: I don't know, its just that my system seems a bit slower with internet flow than it did before I set up a localhost LAMP
[03:26] <sFEARs> if it's in fstab it will remount when he reboots
[03:26] <airtonix> threeseas: what did you sintall exactly
[03:26] <sethk> abcent, start the package manager this way:    sudo synaptic
[03:26] <robdig> kidbuntu: i really don't know...suppose it is possible
[03:26] <Silmeria> sigh... i wish i could have XP and ubuntu, not vista and ubuntu -_-
[03:26] <sethk> abcent, that will give the package manager admin privileges

[03:27]  * regeya is using a hand-me-down...should check to see what the bus speed is on the builtin controller...
[03:27] <Lore1> abcent: to install stuff in ubuntu you often need to use a command called sudo which gives you superuser permissions temporarily, the password is typically set during installation.

[03:27] <regeya> fortify!
[03:27] <CochiseIRL> joules, i think it looks like your phone or pc dont support obex probably your pc so open synaptic and search for obex and there should be an obex bluetooth utility in there i've seen it before
[03:27] <robdig> kidbuntu: on the network, it works sometimes and not others?
[03:27] <regeya> fortify: why do you want to do away with the entries for root and swap partitions???
[03:28] <Silmeria> time to go. thanks for the help airtonix
[03:28] <airtonix> Silmeria: np
[03:28] <threeseas> airtonix: apache, mysql and php along with apps like phpmyadmin, but set up for localhost only

[03:38] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:38] <usser> qah661,  yes in fact there are guides on the net that allow u to run ubuntu from usb dongle
[03:38] <chuckf> qah661, however data read/writes will be slower
[03:38] <qah661> Yes my laptop can boot from USB within the BIOS.
[03:38] <CochiseIRL> joules, have you tried moto4lin
[03:38] <CochiseIRL> qah661, yes you can
[03:38] <command0-182> Is there a way I can control where alien puts converted .deb files.
[03:38] <qah661> Okay, thats cool. This is my first time ever using Linux!
[03:39] <abcent> bazhang: will GRUB appear if external drive is disconnected? .... asking because i was also considering this option
[03:39] <bazhang> qah661: welcome! :}
[03:39] <sFEARs> there's proally a setting in the prefs comand0-182
[03:39] <bazhang> abcent: depends where you install it
[03:39] <elvys_> I've downloaded several packages for Autopackages, but I don't know how can use it
[03:39] <DShepherd> !dualboot | qah661
[03:39] <ubotu> qah661: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot
[03:39] <abcent> bazhang: relating to qah661 question
[03:39] <qah661> Can you install Microsoft Internet Explorer on Linux by any chance?
[03:39] <offipso> I'm trying to configure dhcpd.conf but I get an error that one of my subnets isn't declared. I don't want to run a DHCP server on this subnet, however. How can I satisfy dhcpd so that it runs on one subnet but not both?
[03:40] <pteague> tony1> http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html
[03:40] <chuckf> abcent, if you install grub to your main drive, you may have a problem booting if the external drive is not attached
[03:40] <command0-182> Is there a way I can control where alien puts converted .deb files?
[03:40] <elvys_> somebody could help me
[03:40] <SudoKing> heh, qah661, yes, but why would you want to?
[03:40] <DShepherd> elvys, what's that name of the autopackage your trying to install?
[03:40] <Taggard> Hey, I've just installed Ubuntu and I'm trying to play a film and it is always tinted blue
[03:40] <SudoKing> hi taggard
[03:40] <abcent> chuckf: that clear it's up for me
[03:40] <Taggard> Does anyone know why?
[03:40] <Taggard> SudoKing: Hey
[03:40] <Taggard> SudoKing: I ditched OS X
[03:40] <abcent> chuckf: thank you
[03:40] <qah661> Well, I don't like Firefox like I do IE. So this is possible?
[03:40] <Lore1> mrpockets: you might try http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=44&catid=184&threadid=1175007&highlight_key=y&keyword1=no%20sound#4209759
[03:41] <offipso> Taggard: If you use VLC, you can go to "options / extended gui" and try hitting "reset." That might fix some tint problem, or you can change the tint there. Probably a more serious solution though
[03:41] <sethk> qah661, no
[03:41] <offipso> qah661: it is possible, but with many many headaches
[03:41] <sethk> qah661, if you really like internet explorer, you'll have to surf from windows
[03:41] <offipso> qah661: you have to emulate it using a program such as wine
[03:41] <sethk> qah661, unless you want to run it under an emulator
[03:41] <Lore1> mrpockets: there appears to be a sound problem in 7.10 with flash with some sound cards. Downgrading to flashplayer 7 may fix sound but version 7 has a synchronization problem with audio.
[03:41] <Taggard> offipso: I'm using the default media player
[03:42] <qah661> Also, what programming languages can you use to delvelop software using Linux?
[03:42] <offipso> taggard: I don't think you can change options in the player then, it's probably called Totem, which I think is the default. There is probably a way to change video settings with some tool, but I don't know
[03:42] <MrPockets> hmm
[03:42] <MrPockets> blast!
[03:42] <qah661> I mean, for linux
[03:42] <SudoKing> qah661, any
[03:42] <Taggard> offipso: What player do you recommend?
[03:42] <Taggard> offipso: VLC?
[03:42] <DShepherd> qah661, http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page -- that might help
[03:42] <offipso> Taggard: VLC, definitely
[03:42] <sethk> qah661, all of them
[03:42] <SudoKing> :P
[03:42] <Taggard> offipso: In the repos?
[03:43] <sethk> qah661, c++, java, perl, python, ruby, haskell, ocaml, to name a few
[03:43] <offipso> Taggard: IT is, though I also enabled all repositories in synaptic
[03:43] <Lore1> mrpockets: you can check out the above link, that's the problem thread on adobe's website about no sound in flashplayer 9.
[03:43] <offipso> Taggard: Also you'll have a bit of trouble getting dvds to play, but it is done with a few steps
[03:43] <qah661> How about C#
[03:43] <sethk> qah661, lisp, scheme
[03:43] <tomd> Taggard, you get blue tint on other media players/platform with the same video, or is this for all videos
[03:43] <sethk> qah661, yes, you can use C#.  See the "mono" package
[03:43] <Lore1> LISP is fun to learn, all those parenthesis :)
[03:43] <Taggard> tomd: All videos with one media player, i'm trying VLC now though
[03:43] <sethk> qah661, it implements C# libraries and infrastructure for linux
[03:43] <offipso> again, anyone have experience with dhcpd? I'm trying to not have it run on all subnets like it wants to
 Dolda Connect :: 1.0
[03:44] <qah661> Okay, thanks guys. Bye
[03:44] <joules> CochiseIRL: oh that was better
[03:44] <elvys__> DShepherd Dolda Connect :: 1.0
[03:44] <joules> CochiseIRL: it still cant connect but at least it made my cell blink
[03:44] <sethk> offipso, you can limit it using the dhcpd configuration in /etc
[03:44] <elvys__> Dshepherd: Dolda Connect 1.0
[03:45] <Lore1> i was talking with someone earlier about the migration tool having fetch errors, seems the problems the same after downloading all updates and attempting to upgrade.
[03:45] <offipso> sethk, that's what I'm editing now, but can't find any help on this problem. I have to decalre the subnet, but it's a subnet on the interface connected to the internet
[03:45] <DShepherd> elvys_, stop spamming me
[03:45] <CochiseIRL> joules, there is also an app called gnome phone manager, im still trying to get my own se k610i working in ubuntu properly, bluetooth support is a joke in
[03:45] <DShepherd> elvys_, i read what said
[03:45] <djcabz> how should I fix this? Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":1.0" ?  ATI x300 video...
[03:45] <sethk> offipso, let me look at the doc.  I've done it, but it was a while ago...
[03:45] <joules> yah
[03:45] <offipso> sethk k, thanks.. I'm still trying too
[03:45] <elvys__> OK, I'm sorry
[03:45] <tony1> pteague: thanks - y, it says it's HW, but the driver is broken in 2.6.10 and later ...
[03:46] <SudoKing> Where can I find a list of bug reports?
[03:46] <tomd> Taggard, totem->edit->preferences->display->hue .. just change the hue
[03:46] <Taggard> tomd: It works fine with VLC
[03:46] <jrib> SudoKing: bugs.ubuntu.com
[03:46] <Taggard> tomd: but its really laggy
[03:46] <tomd> Taggard, but you're bloating your system
[03:46] <Taggard> tomd: Like the framerate is low
[03:46] <DShepherd> elvys_, have you download the file doldaconnect.package?
[03:46] <SudoKing> thanks jrib
[03:46] <DShepherd> downloaed*
[03:46] <tomd> Taggard, try changing the hue in totem
[03:46] <sethk> offipso, you have already included a subnet declaration for the part you want it to serve?
[03:46] <Taggard> tomd: Okay
[03:46] <tomd> Taggard, is the frame rate slow in totem
[03:46]  * Evanlec likes to bloat his system
[03:47] <offipso> vlc isn't bloat
[03:47] <tomd> Taggard, that could be a video driver issue
[03:47] <pteague> tony1> good to hear - i might have to look it up then
[03:47] <elvys__> DShepherd: Yes, I have
[03:47] <sethk> offipso, because the way it is supposed to work, it _only_ serves the subnets you declare.
[03:47] <offipso> sethk I am, and trying to find some options that make some sort of sense.. so something like subnet (external interface IP)
[03:47] <offipso> sethk Hm, it says though that for each interface I need to decalre a subnet
[03:47] <sethk> offipso, I can paste a working example if that will help you
[03:47] <offipso> e.g., one sec, Il'l find the message
[03:47] <sethk> offipso, only if you want that interface served by dhcpd
[03:47] <DShepherd> elvys_, ok, right-click the file, choose properties. Go to the permissions tab and select Execute...
[03:47] <sethk> offipso, if you don't want it served, leave it out.
[03:48] <SudoKing> jrib: Is there one for *Kubuntu*?
[03:48] <offipso> sethk I think you're mistaken, as I don't declare it, and it says in syslog "No subnet declaration for eth0 (someip). Please write a subnet declaration for the network segment to which eth0 is attached"
[03:48] <jrib> SudoKing: same
[03:48] <offipso> sethk eth0 or anything it's connected to is not mentioned at all
[03:48] <sethk> offipso, that's a harmless message
[03:48] <jrib> SudoKing: kubuntu is ubuntu
[03:48] <Taggard> tomd: No
[03:48] <sethk> offipso, it is assuming that you may have done that by accident
[03:48] <Taggard> tomd: Well, I got the hue right for some things but then its wrong for others
[03:48] <richdy> I am running on Gutsy.  Is there any way I can get an older mysql package?  I need to run off of 4.1, but I only see 5.0 in synaptic
[03:48] <offipso> sethk So how do I explicitly tell it not to use eth0?
[03:49] <DShepherd> elvys_, now double click on doldaconnect.package and select run. you should be ok from there
[03:49] <tomd> Taggard, thats lousy
[03:49] <offipso> sethk Also, old redhat docs online say, "You must include a subnet declaration for every subnet in your network. If you do not, the DHCP server will fail to start."
[03:49] <sethk> offipso, you don't.  You simply leave that subnet out of the configuration file.
[03:49] <mociyl> offipso: look at /etc/default/dhcp ... INTERFACES="eth1"
[03:49] <tomd> Taggard, as far as slow frame rate with vlc goes, what video driver are you using in vlc
[03:49] <DShepherd> elvys_, let me know if that works for you
[03:49] <sethk> offipso, I know that's not true, I have it running here on a machine with multiple interfaces.
[03:49] <Rian-Davide> Hey can anyone point me to where I can download the broadcom drivers I need to use with ndiswrapper?
[03:49] <tomd> Taggard, output plugin, that is
[03:49] <sethk> offipso, I suppose you can add a subnet declaration that tells it to use no addresses.
[03:49] <offipso> sethk Ok, I'll look at that file, hang on..
[03:49] <Taggard> tomd: In preferences?
[03:49] <elvys__> but I don't have Autopackage Aplication
[03:50] <tomd> Taggard, you'll have to find it yourself.. id assume its in preferences
[03:50] <offipso> sethk Did try that too, though that said the IP range wasn't in the subnet..got all confused
[03:50] <DShepherd> elvys_, have you downloaded doldaconnect.package?
[03:50] <Rian-Davide> anyone know where to find broadcom drivers for ndiswrapper?
[03:50] <underdawg> what's a dummy url to phpmyadmin www.lala.com/phpmyadmin?
[03:50] <tomd> Taggard, and what video driver are you using for X, are you using hardware accel, what video card are you using etc information and I can probably help
[03:50] <Taggard> tomd: Video card ATI X1600
[03:50] <elvys__> DShepherd: I don'r have autopackage aplicattion
[03:51] <Taggard> tomd: Video driver for X is [I think] ATI
[03:51] <DShepherd> elvys_,ok but have you downloaded the doldaconnect.package file?
[03:51] <Taggard> tomd: I don't know if I'm using accel
[03:51] <tomd> Taggard, most important info is the output plugn in vlc
[03:51] <Taggard> tomd: flgrx
[03:51] <Taggard> tomd: For X
[03:51] <elvys__> Yes, I've downloaded that
[03:52] <joules> CochiseIRL: aight thanks for your help dude
[03:52] <offipso> sethk You know, I think that /etc/defaults/dhcp interfaces= helped.. Let's see if it serves me an IP
[03:52] <Taggard> tomd: I'm in VLC > Prefs > Video > Output Modules > Video Output Module and it is just "default"
[03:52] <DShepherd> elvys_, that;s all you need
[03:52] <elvys__> DShepherd: Yes, I have
[03:52] <DShepherd> elvys_, now follow my instructions and you should be fine
[03:52] <sethk> offipso, that makes sense.
[03:52] <offipso> sethk Was that in the docs and I just missed it?
[03:52] <Taggard> tomd: I changed VLC to "X Video Output" and it works great
[03:52] <elvys__> ok, I'll do it
[03:52] <sethk> offipso, I'm trying to remember.
[03:52] <mociyl> offipso: i found a webpage that mentioned it in reference to something else
[03:53] <tomd> woo hoo
[03:53] <DShepherd> elvys_, its called autopackage because it does magic!
[03:53] <offipso> mociyl: O yea? I didn't know anything about /etc/defaults/*
[03:53] <DShepherd> http://autopackage.org/faq.html?PHPSESSID=e76e5f14761b10026c4e2d628e9a2a34#1_1 -- for more info read that link elvys_
[03:53] <DShepherd> elvys_, by the way, aren't you supposed to be dead?
[03:53] <mociyl> offipso: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EasyWirelessToWiredConnectionSharing here's the somewhat relevant page, if you are interested
[03:53] <sethk> offipso, the docs appear to be wrong.  it doesn't appear in the FILES section, and it most certainly should
[03:54] <elvys__> ok, I found Autopackage software installer to do it
[03:54] <Taggard> tomd: The only thing is videos see to get really pixelated when they are larger or smaller than the regular size which didnt happen in OS X
[03:54] <offipso> mociyl Definitely, thanks. I'm still tryign to get it to send me DNS info, but it serves a good IP and a good gateway ip!!
[03:54] <offipso> thanks for the help, sethk
[03:54] <mikebot> I'm trying to format a flash drive (vfat), how can I do this?
[03:54] <gavin__> Anybody: how do i speed up my downloads over gprs
[03:54] <DShepherd> elvys_, ok, suit yourself
[03:54] <tomd> Taggard, try using the open gl driver
[03:54] <Adriana> out of curiosity can you enable the backspace button to work as the back button in your web browser and if so how o.o
[03:54] <Taggard> tomd: For X?
[03:54] <tomd> Taggard, for vlc
[03:54] <Taggard> tomd: Ah, yes
[03:55] <elvys__> DShepherd: Thank you anyway
[03:55] <tomd> Taggard, I know mplayer better.. i am just applying my knowledge from that
[03:55] <DShepherd> elvys_, sure.
[03:55] <Taggard> tomd: This also happens in totem btw
[03:55] <tomd> Taggard, you might need to tweak the soundcard up and stuff..
[03:55] <djcabz> where would I modify     'DISPLAY=:0 glxinfo'    What config file is that in?
[03:55] <tomd> Taggard, look up ubuntu <your vid card> on google to see ift heres a tutorial for tweaking it or something
[03:55] <tomd> s/sound/vid/
[03:55] <Adriana> pleas for the love of all things good is there a way to make the backspace button the back button for web browsers?
[03:56] <Taggard> tomd: I'm using an iMac too (random info)
[03:56] <tomd> Taggard, crazy
[03:56] <Evanlec> an imac, oh my
[03:56]  * tomd had gentoo on an ibook, but it got jacked
[03:56] <mikebot> I'm trying to format a flash drive (vfat), how can I do this? (In GParted the device is locked...)
[03:56] <gnutron> Adriana - not that i know of, alt-left-arrow works.
[03:56] <sethk> offipso, actually, the docs aren't exactly wrong.  It uses /etc/default/interfaces because the startup script reads it, not dhcpd itself
[03:56] <sethk> offipso, see /etc/init.d/dhcp
[03:56] <Taggard> tomd: OpenGL worked, thanks
[03:56] <tomd> np
[03:56] <Taggard> I forgot why I liked Ubuntu
[03:56] <Taggard> Everyone is so friendly
[03:57] <bazhang> so true

[03:57] <Adriana> bah backspace would be so much easier o.o
[03:57] <sethk> Taggard, I hate everybody
[03:57] <offipso> Taggard, Wait until we become old and burned out linux users, when we criticize new users to the OS and claim that we were never like that when we started
[03:57] <offipso> IN MY DAY, We had to compile our kernel OURSELVES and we were HAPPY about it
[03:57] <Taggard> I used to be quite good at this lunix stuff
[03:57] <Taggard> Until I got a Mac :(
[03:57] <DShepherd> Adriana, i used <Alt>+left key for back and <Alt>+right arrow key for forward. that doesnt solve you problem though
[03:58] <sethk> offipso, I used to walk 20 miles in a blizzard to compile my kernel.
[03:58] <Evanlec> lol
[03:58] <bazhang> both ways
[03:58] <Palomides> uphill
[03:58] <offipso> sethk Damn. That's hxc

[03:58] <Taggard> tomd: So, how do I change my default video player to VLC?

[03:58] <sethk> tomd, now, that's torture  :)
[03:59] <Palomides> you had to watch out for the ravenous ice-wolves too

[04:07] <mikebot> scguy318: Is vfat the same as fat16?
[04:07] <levander> mikebot: no, it's the same as fat32
[04:07] <MrPockets> why cant i save to my sources.list
[04:07] <zkn> Greetings, anyone knows how to get normal looking fonts in opera in ubuntu? QT fonts look ok in general (in kcontrol) for example, but while running opera in gnome, fonts look choppy and ugly
[04:08] <levander> mikebot: fat32 added long filenames (and a few other things) to fat16
[04:08] <mikebot> Hrm...when it's mounted and I right click > properties, it says vfat, but in Gparted it says fat16..
[04:08] <levander> mikebot: maybe, i'm wrong, lemme check wikipedia
[04:08] <Leonord> hey, i'm using ubunty 7.10 server in vmware and i have the problem with the framebuffer as reported here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3826742 . I did the sugested things but it worked just one time, after a reboot the problem is back and i can't do anything to fix it. any ideas what might had gone wrong?
[04:08] <linux88> WOW Ubuntu REALLY needs to upgrade some packages. Cant compile one da** thing!
[04:09] <IdleOne> linux88: install build-essential
[04:09] <IdleOne> linux88: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[04:09] <IdleOne> then try your compile but look for packages first using synaptic or apt-cache search
[04:10] <linux88> idleone what is build essential contain?
[04:10] <levander> mikebot: I know fat32 was designed to be "backwards-compatible" with fat16, so I don't think it's a big deal.  There's a lot to the wikipedia page if you wanna check it yourself: Disable
[04:10] <IdleOne> linux88: everything you need to compile
[04:10] <mikebot> levander: Which do I want to format it to then?
[04:10] <scguy318> MrPockets: you need to edit it as root
[04:10] <levander> mikebot: I can't use copy and paste right now, just search "vfat" on wikipedia if you wanna see it.
[04:10] <linux88> idleone ok thanks
[04:10] <linux88> idleone i already have build-essential
[04:11] <IdleOne> linux88: what error tyou getting?
[04:11] <levander> mikebot: why not format it ext3?
[04:11] <elvys__> does Ubuntu come with Samba pre-configured, I mean, is It necessary?
[04:11] <Cazz> hey
[04:11] <Cazz> how do i enable the user list for xchat
[04:11] <mikebot> levander: I wasn't sure if I could...would it work on a windows machine too?
[04:11] <linux88> idleone for GTK+ and glib i need a newer version for both, and ubuntu dont got them
[04:12] <levander> elvys__: Ubuntu does not come with samba preconfigured.  You have to tell samba what you want to make available via the network with it.
[04:12] <linux88> and whats is fakeroot?
[04:12] <IdleOne> Cazz: you need to click and drag it open it is on the right side
[04:12] <levander> mikebot: I think I heard the ext3 driver for Windows has gotten pretty good.  I'd check that out.
[04:12] <Cazz> hm
[04:12] <MrPockets> woot
[04:12] <Cazz> there is a scroll bar
[04:12] <MrPockets> i got it!
[04:12] <Cazz> but no nicklist
[04:12] <Taggard> Does anyone know how to get the New Apple wired keyboard's volume and music control/brightness keysto work
[04:13] <mikebot> levander: The thing is, I'm trying to put OperaTor on it so that I can use it on windows machines at school... so I want something that doesn't require any drivers or whatnot
[04:13] <Peddy> is anybody here running gutsy and compiz?
[04:13] <Cazz> anyone know how to enable nicklist in xchat??
[04:13] <Cazz> hmm
[04:13] <IdleOne> Cazz: just to the immediate left of the scroll bar there is a separator bar that should change to a two ended arrow
[04:14] <IdleOne> click it
[04:14] <levander> mikebot: Isn't the Linux NTFS driver supposed to have gotten better with the Gutsy release?  I thought I saw that in the Gutsy release notes.
[04:14] <Peddy> is anybody here running gutsy and compiz?
[04:14] <mikebot> levander: Heh, no idea.
[04:14] <levander> mikebot: Or, just look and see if there's a fat32 or vfat option in gparted.
[04:14] <Cazz> nope
[04:14] <Cazz> nothing
[04:14] <DShepherd> Peddy, I am sure people here are
[04:14] <linux88> peddy i am
[04:14] <Cazz> when i installed xchat
[04:14] <BenjyStone> Cazz: Ctrl-F7
[04:14] <levander> mikebot: fat16 will work, but i think you lose long filenames that way
[04:14] <MarkP> Hi I need some help with installing, I want to have a windows and ubuntu. I got the partition made with partion magic but it says there is not base defined could somebody help in private
[04:14] <levander> mikebot: I think fat16 will work.
[04:14] <Cazz> i didnt install xchat-systray
[04:14] <elvys__> Levander: Ok, I did say it because Simply mepis allows me to see another computer with MS Windows, and this it's not necessary
[04:14] <cubedsi> peddy: i am
[04:14] <IdleOne> BenjyStone: nice trick
[04:14] <Cazz> maybe that?
[04:15] <linux88> markp install windows then ubuntu
[04:15] <Peddy> linux88: when you click on the exit button (in gnome) is the transition smooth or not?
[04:15] <linux88> markp ubuntu takes care of everyhting
[04:15] <BenjyStone> IdleOne - Thanks!
[04:15] <Peddy> linux88: to black
[04:15] <genii> bleh, partition "magic"
[04:15] <mikebot> levander: There is both, but it came as 16... would it matter which I do?
[04:15] <levander> elvys__: I don't know what Simply mepis is.
[04:15] <IdleOne> Cazz: nope has nothing to do with it but like BenjyStone said ctrl-F7 works
[04:15] <MarkP> I got windows installed and am now in installing ubuntu
[04:15] <linux88> peddy im not sure what u mean
[04:15] <Cazz> not for me
[04:15] <MarkP> made 2 partition as required
[04:15] <pacman> hey idleone...can you help me?
[04:15] <Nutubuntu> levander, it's another distro
[04:15] <Cazz> i think xchat might be messed up
[04:15] <Cazz> is there a reinstall?
[04:15] <linux88> markp ubuntu will make the partiton for you
[04:15] <IdleOne> Cazz: you installed xchat-gnome?
[04:15] <linux88> markp with gparted
[04:15] <elvys__> Levander: It is a linux distribution
[04:15] <Cazz> yes
[04:16] <IdleOne> ahhhh
[04:16] <BenjyStone> Cazz: from the view menu, can you click on User List?
[04:16] <IdleOne> Cazz: remove that and install xchat-common
[04:16] <MarkP> linux88 do you have a site for that
[04:16] <Peddy> linux88: like my screen flickers when the brightness fades (when I click on the shutdown button), instead of going smoothly.
[04:16] <Cazz> kk
[04:16] <pacman> I downloaded a game, and burned it to disk...the instructions with the game say it requires Linux kernel version 2.2.X
[04:16] <linux88> Markp, first step is to install Windows. THen put ubuntu in.im sure there is but i dont got one this second
[04:16] <pacman> but when I try and install per the instructions it says: This installation doesn't support glibc-2.1 on Linux / x86
[04:16] <IdleOne> Cazz: also try what BenjyStone is saying
[04:16] <levander> elvys__: seeing another Windows computer just requires the samba client, which don't have to be configured.  Windows computers seeing the linux box, that requires the samba server, which does have to be configured.
[04:17] <sainzeo> does anyone know how, through a bash script, one could check whether or not a certain package is installed?
[04:17] <lgc> j /#ubuntu-offtopic
[04:17] <linux88> peddy hmm, never heard of that, i know on my power management i had to change a few things becuase when i discnnected power to my laptop the screen would go blank
[04:17] <levander> sainzeo: dunno through a bash script, but you know about 'dpkg -l'?
[04:17] <Peddy> ahh
[04:17] <IdleOne> sainzeo: apt-cache policy package.name
[04:17] <linux88> peddy but the comp was still on
[04:17] <Peddy> linux88: so it goes smoothly for you? rather than flickering?
[04:17] <genii> pacman: kernel 2.2 is very old. We are at now kernel 2.6 series
[04:17] <linux88> peddy ya
[04:17] <sainzeo> IdleOne: do you know the returned codes if it is found or isn't?
[04:18] <Peddy> linux88: ok thanks
[04:18] <pacman> I'm using Kubuntu 7.04
[04:18] <dapimp532> What is the netstat command to see what programs are running with open ports and what port they are on
[04:18] <IdleOne> sainzeo: it will say Installed : version number
[04:18] <sainzeo> IdleOne: thanks dude - one other question, how do you check if a user is running the script as root?
[04:18] <ant-> dapimp532, netstat -pl will tell you what apps are listening
[04:19] <pacman> or am I doing something wrong?
[04:19] <dapimp532> thanks
[04:19] <MarkP> what does mountpoint mean
[04:19] <genii> pacman: It is unlikely anything writen for a kernel of the 2.2.X series will work when you try to make/compile it for kernel 2.6.X series
[04:20] <psykidellic> Hi. All are my files are created with group id 501 which i see no mention in /etc/group. Whats going on?
[04:20] <pacman> so what do you suggest I do?
[04:20] <genii> pacman: Find a later edition which works with 2.6 series of kernels
[04:20] <Nutubuntu> MarkP, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_(computing)
[04:20] <MarkP> hmmz
[04:21] <Peddy> does anyone here know how to stop the screen brightness from darkening when I press the quit button?

[04:23] <blackfox> ubuntu can use nero ?
[04:23] <andresj> hello everybody. which is the most lightweight window manager/session available for (K)Ubuntu (aptget-able)? I am currentyl using KDE but sometimes I need to use as little resources as I can in order to play some games...
[04:24] <bazhang> Peddy: I believe that is the default--why would you want to change it when you are quitting?
[04:24] <pteague> blackfox> should be able to... wine or virtualize windows...  but why?
[04:24] <Nutubuntu> andresj, try waimea
[04:24] <scguy318> pteague: in fact there's a version of Nero for Linux, but bleh
[04:24] <blackfox> becouse i wan burn cd sometime

[04:31] <superman> Clay_The_Arc,  one sec
[04:31] <kill_u> hi all
[04:32] <Jeffimix> Silmeria: you will probably want to look into Ndiswrapper
[04:32] <linux88> Maverick
[04:32] <Silmeria> ScottyTucson, you have to do quite a bit of stuff with ndiswrapper, thats all i remember. i got it to work, but the HP has a motherboard issue and eventually the wireless card disappears
[04:32] <Maverick> yes
[04:32] <superman> Clay_The_Arc,  please click http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283070
[04:32] <Silmeria> has an issue*
[04:32] <Peddy> anybody here know how to stop the gnome shutdown dialogue from blacking out the screen?
[04:32] <Jeffimix> Silmeria: there is a Linux broadcom driver, I could never get it to work with mine, but Ndiswrapper... worked somewhat, it uses the windows driver
[04:32] <linux88> Maverick what is it that you are wanting to do. In short version
[04:32] <ScottyTucson> Delete, I have no idea
[04:32] <Silmeria> Jeffimix, i got mine working, but im using a new laptop now. its .... actually one sec im not even sure >>

[04:34] <NIMBY> Hi I just used Gparted to copy the 12gb partition I had on a drive to a seperate 300gb drive, I left 8gb free at the end and formatted it as linux swap, I am trying to edit grub to boot from the 300gb now instead of the previous drive, how do I find out which drive is hd0,0 etc ?
[04:34] <Peddy> anybody here know how to stop the gnome shutdown dialogue from blacking out the screen? I will buy someone who can help me a nice cold beer :)
[04:35] <Jeffimix> Silmeria: it might work, but it will take some fudging around with, it won't be painless to say the least, and it indeed might not work at all
[04:35] <gavin__> Maverrick : I am using Feisty Fawn. Is Gutsy Gibbon better ?
[04:35] <ScottyTucson> Delete, ok...let me take a look at this
[04:35] <NIMBY> btw the 12gb is where linux is running from now
[04:35] <ScottyTucson> Delete, Thanks for your assistance
[04:35] <delete> ScottyTucson, no problem
[04:35] <ScottyTucson> Delete, do you work in the computer field here in Tucson?
[04:35] <Jeffimix> Linux has lackluster driver support for wireless, it's its biggest weakness...
[04:36] <delete> ScottyTucson, no but my secret passion is computers.
[04:36] <Silmeria> Jeffimix, i think my actual card is named something else though
[04:36] <Silmeria> Jeffimix, like atheros or something else
[04:36] <bazhang> Jeffimix: I beg to differ
[04:36] <Clay_The_Arc> superman
[04:36] <Clay_The_Arc> you see PMs?
[04:36] <ScottyTucson> Delete, I would be interested in talking computers with you offline sometime. I find this public forum here difficult to have good discussion - and I am always interested in meeting like minded people in my home town
[04:37] <NIMBY> sorry pressed wrong button
[04:37] <linux88> Maverick when you say you are pinging and they are up, are you talking about the apps running on a port?
[04:37] <delete> NIMBY, try to run the command fdisk and see what drive its on
[04:37] <zbo> How do I find out the number of times I've logged in (lately or as far back as the computer can remember)?  Is there a command for this?
[04:37] <Maverick> linux88: I mean that i can see the IPs alive while pinging them through nmap
[04:37] <Jeffimix> bazhang: well I suppose there are arguments either way, lets not fight though...
[04:38] <linux88> Maverick The problem I have, is that ubuntu (gusty) configures all my LAN applications (Games, Messengers, etc.) to use my ppp0 address, and not my eth0 address?
[04:38] <NIMBY> delete fdisk ? is that that a windows option ?
[04:38] <delete> ScottyTucson, cool, i should let you know that i have always been self taught and im still in a huge learning process but lack of money also hinders that as well
[04:38] <Silmeria> is there a list of wireless cards that work with ubuntu anywhere?
[04:38] <bazhang> Jeffimix: not wanting to fight :} do you an issue with wireless?
[04:38] <Clay_The_Arc> any1 here help me on a PPP problem with ubuntu 7.10?
[04:38] <ScottyTucson> Delete, is there a way I can contact you (different medium?)
[04:38] <delete> NIMBY, in the terminal on your linux box run fdisk and it should show you what drives are there and which one is hdd0
[04:39] <Maverick> linux88: yes it does, http://www.file-post.com/view_image.php?id=570
[04:39] <NIMBY> delete , now I see same as fdisk older windows :)
[04:39] <delete> ScottyTucson<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[04:39] <khaled_> Is there a way to use the internal mic of Dell D830 using 7.10?

[04:40] <eylisian> random question for the ether, anyone know if/when Ubuntu might port Cobbler for apt use?
[04:40] <linux88> Maverick give me a sec, im wathcing the Long Beach State vs. Washington right now
[04:40] <NIMBY> delete it gives me a usage prompt, Im very new to linux so might need a bit of extra guidance
[04:40] <delete> khaled_, does it recognize the mic or is it the kind inside of the monitor
[04:40] <Maverick> linux88: ok
[04:41] <delete> NIMBY, open terminal, type "fdisk" and it will show you the HDD's that are being used
[04:41] <NIMBY> delete used sudo fdisk -l and that listed all the drive info
[04:41] <IdleOne> Clay_The_Arc: try asking a more specific question
[04:41] <NIMBY> delete had to be in sudo otherwise it didnt do anything :)
[04:41] <delete> NIMBY, sorry yea i was brain farting
[04:41] <Clay_The_Arc> does any1 know how to tell if my ppp0 connection is connecting
[04:41] <khaled_> There is a bug in 7.10 is that it does not recognize the sound on Dell Latitude D830. There were a few solutions to that bug .. but none of them solves the issue with the internal built-in mic. I was wondering if anyone here was able to solve that issue

[04:43] <eylisian> khaled_, if you cannot find an answer here try the Dell Ubuntu forum pages thingie. It was helpful w/ some Vostro desktop issues I was having. Pretty current too.

[04:51] <NIMBY> delete thing is I have sda1-4 and it is booting from 2nd partition so I guess thats sda2, but the menu.lst file refers to hd0,3 for linux and hd0,0 for vista, Im also guessing I need to change it to hd1,0 to get it to boot from the 2nd drive
[04:52] <Seak> can anyone help me install a wifi driver for my laptop i have gusty and its a athero wifi

[04:52] <Nyle> hi

[04:52] <Nyle> nimby - not in my back yard?
[04:52] <delete> NIMBY, so in your case is vista
[04:53] <Seak> nonewmsgs thnx

[04:56] <nonewmsgs> seak whatever channel you want mate

[04:57] <patrickneville> hey i have a wireless computer that the internet keeps shuting down, and i was wondering if there is a command or something to restart the network manager instead of restarting the computer
[04:57] <delete> NIMBY, sorry yea that is the one its grub.conf in fedora sorry for the mix up
[04:58] <Rian-Davide> hey all where can I find broadcom drivers for ndiswrapper?
[04:58] <NIMBY> delete so if I set linux to hd1,0 that (in theory) should make it boot from the 2nd drive and partition 1
[05:00] <Jeffimix> /connect irc.amigaworld.net
[05:00] <delete> NIMBY, hd1 should still be the first disk but normally hdb1 is the second disk
[05:00] <Rian-Davide> anyone there?
[05:00] <delete> NIMBY, look carefully at the fdisk
[05:01] <sethk> (hd1,0) is grub syntax.  grub is 0 based, so (hd1) is typically  /dev/hdb
[05:01] <Rian-Davide> no one there eh
[05:01] <Maverick> help plz..http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/wired-network-problem-in-ubuntu-gusty-602611/
[05:01] <sethk> however, there is a file in /boot/grub called device.map that is used to translate hd0, 1, 2, etc. to hda, hbd, sda, whatever
[05:01] <delete> yea i know i need to know what is booting
[05:02] <NIMBY> delete the menu.lst file has hd0,0 for vista and hd0,3 for linux, and they are all on the same physical drive, I have clone it to a 2nd physical drive which I assume will be treated as hd1
[05:02] <sethk> NIMBY, only if the second drive is mapped to hd1 in /boot/grub/device.map
[05:03] <sethk> NIMBY, if that drive was not in the machine at install time, you'll have to add the drive to device.map
[05:03] <Rian-Davide> where do you find broadcom drivers anyone know?
[05:03] <[chr0n0s]> Rian-Davide, google for ndiswrapper
[05:03] <NIMBY> sda2 is where linux currently is and sdb1 is where I want to boot from (sata so sd not hd)
[05:04] <delete> Rian-Davide, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=185174
[05:04] <sethk> NIMBY, ok, youll find a line in device.map:   (hd0)   /dev/sda                  if it's not already there, add a line:     (hd1)   /dev/sdb
[05:05] <terrorxs> so is it bad to force a hard reboot with linux? aka, I logged out of a new installation(graphics drivers), and now I am just staring at black.
[05:05] <patrickneville> hey i have a wireless computer that the internet keeps shuting down, and i was wondering if there is a command or something to restart the network manager instead of restarting the computer
[05:05] <sethk> NIMBY, the partitions are simply 0, 1, 2, 3 for 1, 2, 3, 4, respectively
[05:05] <NIMBY> sethk the drive was in place when I installed but I have since used gparted to remove the 2 ntfs partitions that were on it and replace them with ext3 ones
[05:05] <zhopoyeb> Hello all, I'm trying to connect remotely to a Windows box, What exactly can i do to log on to it? what needs to be install on the windows box or disabled so i can shh or something into it?
[05:06] <sethk> NIMBY, that doesn't usually matter.  If the drive was there, the required line is probably already in device.map.  You should look at it anyway, to make sure the it thinks (hd1) is what you want it to think (hd1) is
[05:06] <delete> zhopoyeb, you need vncviewer
[05:06] <sethk> NIMBY, awkward syntax, but I think you know what I mean
[05:06] <xargon> hey anyone know how i can get java stuff working in firefox?
[05:06] <delete> xargon, look for the plugin you may need to install manually
[05:06] <sethk> NIMBY, I hope you know what I mean, anyway  :)
[05:07] <NIMBY> sethk well thats answered my question --- (hd0)	/dev/sda
[05:07] <NIMBY> (hd1)	/dev/sdb :)
[05:07] <xargon> delete, kk
[05:07] <sethk> NIMBY, good.  It never hurts to check, if it's wrong you get weird behavior and almost nobody knows about device.map so they won't tell you to check it.
[05:07] <NIMBY> I'm going to try setting it to hd1,0 and cross my fingers
[05:08] <xargon> delete, would installing java-common in the synaptic package manager do it?
[05:08] <patrickneville> when i try sudo ifconfig wlan0 up i get this error : SIOCSIFFLAGS : input/output error
[05:08] <NIMBY> thanks sethk and delete for your help hopefully I will be back very soon, if it doesnt work straight off I will edit it on boot up
[05:08] <patrickneville> any ideas?
[05:08] <zhopoyeb> delete thanks for the tip
[05:08] <delete> xargon, maybe usually when java doesnt work firefox will tell you to install missing plusing
[05:08] <pacman> damn, I'm hella lost
[05:09] <xargon> delete, it tells me but then it says gotta manual install, thats where i haev no clue what to do heh
[05:09] <NIMBY> brb
[05:09] <mrpockets> is the use of my PCI TV tuner going to be pretty much abandoned with Ubuntu?
[05:09] <delete> xargon, youll have to download a tar.gz and install it yourself
[05:09] <theflyingfool> what do i need to get a virtual machine running
[05:10] <prappl93> I need help
[05:10] <xargon> delete, alright
[05:10] <prappl93> I cannot install any programs from the add/remove list!
[05:10] <tators> how do I change users in bash
[05:11] <DG19075> xargon, you could also try sudo apt-get install java
[05:11] <patrickneville> any ideas on why my logout screen does not show?
[05:11] <NIMBY> well its seems to have worked, is there any way to check?
[05:11] <delete> xargon, you should have to click a link to the download page to downlad it, it will have instructions on how to do it but you "NEED" to follow it closely
[05:11] <MTecknology> does mail-notification require evolution to be running?

[05:13] <regeya> theflyingfool: vmware?  qemu?

[05:14] <regeya> qemu will run xp fairly fast if you have the kqemu extension...see ubotu's link there
[05:14] <_nix_> Sisco: fluxbuntu should do
[05:14] <regeya> damn, not quite tuesday yet here.  give it 45min.
[05:14] <theflyingfool> is xen or qemu better?
[05:14] <Sisco> _nix_ link?
[05:14] <_nix_> Sisco: www.fluxbuntu.org
[05:15] <_nix_> Sisco: FYI its rather minimal.. don't hate me afterwords
[05:15] <regeya> theflyingfool: I don't mean to sound condescending, but I think you'd be the better judge of that.  You know your requirements...not us.
[05:15] <Coosh> When I go to install Ubuntu using normal or safe graphics, I see the splash loading screen then when it normally would load x its black.. any ideas what it might be? (im using a nvidia 6600gt if that helps?)
[05:15] <Sisco> can I install/run it from the usb 2.0 flash drive?
[05:15] <theflyingfool> regeya, i guess the question i should be asking then is what are the major differnences
[05:15] <regeya> I mean, if I came barging in wanting to know what the best sound card is...
[05:15] <regeya> theflyingfool: what's the best sound card?
[05:15] <theflyingfool> its one of the xfis
[05:16] <delete> Sisco, if your motherboard supports it
[05:16] <_nix_> Sisco: yes.. for installation from the drive itself, you'll need the alternate install disc
[05:16] <arghh2d2> #bash is a bunch of high holy showboats that stroke their ego on knowing something no one else knows, why have a channel on the subject if you're just going to sit around flaunting your hoarde of knowledge.
[05:16] <regeya> lol
[05:16] <NIMBY> how can I enable the swap disk feature now ?
[05:16] <_nix_> Sisco: delete is right, your mb should support booting from the usb drive
[05:16] <mrpockets_> so I'm desperatly trying to get my TV tuner to work..
[05:17] <_nix_> NIMBY: you made a swap partition when installing ubuntu?
[05:17] <regeya> theflyingfool:  http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/  http://www.vmware.com/  http://www.xensource.com/  that ought to be a good start.

[05:17] <NIMBY> _nix_ I have just used gparted to move my original install to another drive and I made and 8gb linuxswap on the end of it
[05:17] <somerville32> arghh2d2, Some of  them helped me
[05:18] <arghh2d2> kudos to #ubuntu ops for being so helpful, glad you got a life.
[05:18] <Coosh> Any have any idea's what the ubuntu installer might just come up blank after the splash screen where an X desktop would be expected?
[05:18] <regeya> maybe we lost something when it became easier to install linux than windows...there was a barrier of entry a decade ago, which stopped all management types and included only the techs.
[05:18] <weltschmerz> i can only use compwiz for one user at a time.  anyone know why that might be?
[05:18] <arghh2d2> somerville32 i'm sure they are extremely helpful if they wanna be
[05:18] <_nix_> NIMBY: whoa.. an 8GB swap!! well you'll have to issue the following command to enable it this session: sudo mkswap -v1 /dev/<device> && sudo swapon /dev/<device>
[05:18]  * regeya is ranting, please forgive
[05:19]  * regeya will go away now until the rant subsides
[05:19] <_nix_> NIMBY: you may have to edit your /etc/fstab enable that at boot time
[05:19]  * theflyingfool is a tech who is just starting out on nix, and is working on dial up at his parents house
[05:19] <NIMBY> _nix_ I have 4gb of ram, I have no idea what it would normally be :)
[05:20]  * Coosh feels like a moron, he can install slackware faster then I can ubuntu.. GRR
[05:20] <Jeffimix> mm I miss slackware sometimes
[05:20] <Jeffimix> ... not really
[05:21] <_nix_> NIMBY: with that much RAM at your disposle I don't think you'll ever need a swap partition under normal usage. but an equal swap should do equally well. 8GB IMHO is an overkill
[05:21] <airtonix> 8gb is wayyy too much
[05:21] <Coosh> heh 1GB would be more then enuf.. ;p
[05:21] <airtonix> you might actually see a reduction peformnace by using that much
[05:21] <airtonix> 8gb I mean
[05:22] <Seak> need help setting up wireless connection with my laptop im on gusty
[05:22] <airtonix> for systems that require it I thinkn there is a sweetspot in reltion to your real ram amount
[05:22] <NIMBY> _nix_ Im very new to linux and am used to windows needed huge amounts of virtual memory space
[05:22] <airtonix> windows and linux use virtual memory in different ways
[05:23] <_nix_> NIMBY: I guess you were Windows Vista or probably XP that grew a tad old.
[05:23] <airtonix> windows makes a file that increase fragmentation
[05:23] <_nix_> *using
[05:23] <airtonix> whereas linux will dedicate a partition to virtual memory, with a special filesystem
[05:23] <owen1> I am connected with a cable to my router, does it mean that I get a static ip?
[05:23] <IdleOne> omg 8GB of ram is more than my HD on my first ubuntu box lol
[05:23] <airtonix> owen1:  with a lan cable?
[05:24] <NIMBY> _nix_  I have used various flavours of ms for years but vista has made me want to change, it is such utter crap
[05:24] <Coosh> owen1, generally yes but since its still dhcp your isp can still change it on you..
[05:24] <Dr_willis> owen1,  the router may or may not be getting a static ip. Most likely its not static.
[05:24] <owen1> airtonix: yes. RJ45 i think
[05:24] <Dr_willis> owen1,  the PC may be getting the same ip from the routers dhcp service.   but its proberly not static either. You could set up a static ip for the pc.
[05:24] <_nix_> NIMBY: want to know more crap? google for "Windows Vista - A Cost Analysis". Nice document..
[05:24] <NIMBY> _nix_ I have the fastest computer I ever had with the most ram and fastest drives and yet with vista it was slower than xp
[05:24] <cretep> how come the automatic update thing doesn't offer Firefox 2?
[05:25] <owen1> Dr_willis: do i set it up in the router?
[05:25] <Maveric1> I am on a wired network using a PPPoE connection. The problem I have, is that ubuntu (gusty) configures all my LAN applications (Games, Messengers, etc.) to use my ppp0 address, and not my eth0 address. Hence, the other LAN boxes take a lot of time to show up. If I try doing a ping sweep with nmap, I can see them up.
[05:25] <_nix_> NIMBY: welcome to ubuntu XD
[05:25] <owen1> Dr_willis: is it the 'port forwarding' option?
[05:25] <_nix_> NIMBY: and linux
[05:25] <Coosh> anyone know why when running the installer of ubuntu I see the splash screen as normal but when I get to the X desktop it never appears its just a black screen?
[05:25] <NIMBY> _nix_ $400 for vista ultimate, and then we do the debugging for ms for nothing :-(
[05:25] <Dr_willis> owen1,  some routers have that feature. some dont. or you just set up the router to give out ips in one range, then set up any static ip pc's in a differnt range.
[05:26] <IdleOne> NIMBY: ubuntu is free and canonical pays for the shipping also :)
[05:26] <NIMBY> _nix_ vista networking was the thing that broke the camels back for me
[05:26] <owen1> Dr_willis: my router is netgear. i saw a section for port forwarding. is that what i need?
[05:26] <Dr_willis> owen1,  i have my router set where <IP_ADDRESS> and higher are dynamic. anything below that i can use for static ips  on my machines.
[05:26] <magic_ninja> how do you print fps on glx gears
[05:26] <magic_ninja> its like glxgears --printfps right
[05:26] <Dr_willis> owen1,  port forwarding is not related to the ip the pc's get.
[05:26] <NIMBY> _nix_ was quicker to burn data to dvd and run downstairs than transfer it
[05:27] <Dr_willis> magic_ninja,  some times it is.. and some times thats the default. :)
[05:27] <magic_ninja> ?
[05:27] <magic_ninja> how i do it
[05:27] <_nix_> NIMBY: I guess you left vista for good now. try not to think about it... eases the pain.
[05:27] <terrorxs> is there a way to redo the graphic options for x windows, i kinda broke it.
[05:27] <Dr_willis> magic_ninja,  try it without the options. I think its the default onubuntu
[05:27] <loop2012> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_avwGFsv60U (google android, crazy)
[05:27] <Coosh> so I assume no one has any advice for my problem? lol
[05:28] <owen1> Dr_willis: got it. what feature should i look for in my router to set it for static ip?
[05:28] <Dr_willis> owen1,  'dhcp'
[05:28] <delete> Coosh, did you search the ubuntu forums
[05:28] <NIMBY> _nix_ I will have to have dual boot for awhile, Bioshock wont work on linux I believe but I am going to have xp insted of vista
[05:28] <Dr_willis> owen1,  some routers can map a specific ip to mac address.. No idea if yous can or not. check its manual i guess. :0
[05:28] <delete> NIMBY, wine should support bioshock but im not sure
[05:29] <delete> NIMBY, try looking into it
[05:29] <Coosh> delete, oh yeah I found a few good tidbits for example trying xmodule=vesa on boot (as i suspect its a problem the video driver its loading).. but found nothing..
[05:29] <NIMBY> _nix_ and if I can get WoW to work here I should be on here 90% of the time anyway
[05:29] <Coosh> delete, well nothing that worked..
[05:29] <_nix_> NIMBY: what's WoW??
[05:29] <owen1> Dr_willis: Dr_willis i found this section - Wireless Card Access Setup
[05:30] <delete> Coosh, sorry i dont know too much about graphics cards
[05:30] <owen1> Dr_willis: it has 2 texboxes - device name and MAC address.
[05:30] <delete> _nix_, he probably mean world of warcraft
[05:30] <Maveric1> I am on a wired network using a PPPoE connection. The problem I have, is that ubuntu (gusty) configures all my LAN applications (Games, Messengers, etc.) to use my ppp0 address, and not my eth0 address. Hence, the other LAN boxes take a lot of time to show up. If I try doing a ping sweep with nmap, I can see them up. Can you help me please?
[05:30] <magic_ninja> !glxgears
[05:30] <ubotu> To display the FPS in glxgears, run 'glxgears -printfps' in a terminal.
[05:31] <magic_ninja> it doesn't work >.<
[05:31] <Coosh> delete, do you know if its possible to do a text based install of ubuntu?
[05:31] <owen1> Dr_willis: i found another section - Address Reservation
[05:31] <_nix_> delete: oh.. k NIMBY: if it's games that you want on linux, shelling out some buck to http://www.transgaming.com/ should get you going
[05:31] <delete> Coosh, yea you should have the option when you insert the disk to do command line install
[05:32] <mrpockets_> If i want to use TV time for a TV program, how to i configure it to use my PCI TV tuner?
[05:32] <Dr_willis> owen1,  it would be better if you checked your routers manual :)   it may even have online help in html format.
[05:32] <Coosh> delete, im using 7.10 I see Start or install, start or install in safe graphics, install with driver update cd, oem install, thats it for installs (theres check cd, memory test and boot from hd)
[05:33] <NIMBY> _nix_ I refuse to pay $5 extra just to play a few games, I have already purchased xp so will suffer dual boot until I no longer need to , but thanks for the info :)
[05:33] <NIMBY> _nix_ $ per month *
[05:33] <ID_EGO_> Im am having trouble with rsync preserving permissions
[05:33] <Coosh> NIMBY, Theres been some major improvments to directx 9 with wine so it might be worth it to check out that for your games..
[05:34] <skyline> like all of us.. some time ago.. ;]
[05:34] <Dr_willis> i saw some artical on installing directx9 with wine  today.
[05:34] <delete> Coosh, hmm i do recall it saying "CLI Install"
[05:34] <ID_EGO_> let me rephrase
[05:34] <delete> Coosh, if it says CLI thats command line
[05:34] <Dr_willis> http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/news/article.php?storyid=2334 Some info on Wine and directx

[05:34] <simion314> Hi, i have an error  when i compile a program monodevelop,  :/bin/sh: -o: not found, i do not know what i am missing, , more detailed output message here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45968/
[05:34] <delete> Coosh, im running Xubuntu so it may be different
[05:35] <ID_EGO_> i can not get rsync over ssh to preserve file and folder permissions, all the files and folders get the administrator account as the group and owner
[05:35] <phoenix__> hey all
[05:35] <ID_EGO_> i have read that you need to use root to preserve, but root login is disabled
[05:36] <EvilSHAME> anyone know how to watch videos via mplayer in cli?
[05:36] <Dr_willis> EvilSHAME,  odly enough. i can use 'mc' and it will do that automaticially when i select a video.. i have NO idea what keys controll the player however.
[05:36] <multidex> can i use the 'locate' command with a switch that will only give me executible files?
[05:36] <delete> ID_EGO_, you can login as root but it is almost frowned upon
[05:36] <IdleOne> Dr_willis: http://wine-review.blogspot.com/2007/11/directx-90c-on-linux-with-wine.html posted couple minutes ago in -offtopic
[05:36] <ID_EGO_> i know
[05:36] <Jimd1> I'm having some issues with sound on a new install of 7.10 on a laptop.  i just deleted an install of fedora 8 that had mp3 and movies/divx playing fine.  I had winxp on it for some time and it played sound fine.  What happens is that the computer starts and I hear the start up sound but 1/2 way through the start up sound the audio playback stops.  From that point on I get no sound.  I then installed amarok and the mp3 codes and when I p
[05:37] <ID_EGO_> delete_ is there a way around it?
[05:37] <pteague> xinerama or twinview using an nvidia card?
[05:37] <owen1_> Dr_willis: thanks, i think i have static ip now!
[05:37] <Coosh> EvilSHAME, mplayer videoname.avi   most of your features are 1-0 on your keyboard fast forward and reweind are up and down and left and right (one goes faster then the other)
[05:37] <pteague> also thinking of using xvmc
[05:37] <delete> ID_EGO_, what do you mean to disable the login of root?
[05:37] <NIMBY> Thanks everyone for your help, I will sort wine and WoW out later on, off to play with compwiz etc :)
[05:37] <ID_EGO_> like root is disabled and i am not going to enable it
[05:37] <terrorxs> i cant get into xwindows, i messed up the displays, i have two...how do I reset it to get back in?
[05:37] <ID_EGO_> our ssh server gets attacked 24/7
[05:38] <EvilSHAME> umm
[05:38] <EvilSHAME> it doesn't work
[05:38] <EvilSHAME> I get a shit load of errors
[05:39] <greylurk> g
[05:39] <Coosh> EvilSHAME, depends on what the errors are to tell ya further..
[05:39] <EvilSHAME> Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-VO) device.
[05:39] <Coosh> EvilSHAME, my best recommendation would be to start pluggin those errors your getting into google and see what the general consus is
[05:40] <EvilSHAME> haha dang, cause I'm kinda in cli
[05:40] <kkathman> windows pisses me off
[05:40] <EvilSHAME> so I hate using web browsers as I can't c/p
[05:40] <EvilSHAME> :)
[05:40] <multidex> how do i find where the executible file 'firefox' is?
[05:40] <ID_EGO_> basically i am typing: sudo rsync -e ssh -avz "file" administrator@host:/"folder"
[05:40] <Jimd1> anyone have any ideas on my sound problem?
[05:40] <Coosh> EvilSHAME, are you trying to play videos completely in command line as in you want to watch it on the console ?
[05:40] <harushimo> hey everyone
[05:40] <kkathman> why cant windows pick up a printer on my linux box!!!!
[05:40] <harushimo> I have a question for you
[05:41] <ID_EGO_> when it copys over all the folders and files are owned by administrator
[05:41] <harushimo> does anyone have a problem going to full screen mode when streaming video
[05:41] <multidex> Jimd1: you have alsa modules, all of them?
[05:41] <simion314> Hi, i have an error  when i compile a program monodevelop,  :/bin/sh: -o: not found, i do not know what i am missing, , more detailed output message here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45968/
[05:41] <multidex> i mean packages
[05:41] <delete> multidex, mostlikely its in /usr/share
[05:41] <ID_EGO_> its going to be a pain if i have to restore them because we have many users
[05:41] <harushimo> I'm having that problem
[05:42] <harushimo> anyone
[05:42] <EvilSHAME> meh
[05:42] <multidex> delete: thanks, i wish i could use locate or find to track down the executibles
[05:42] <EvilSHAME> thanks anyways
[05:42] <Jimd1> multidex:  no idea.  i just installed.  i have several other linux installs on desktops that didn't require that I install any extra also stuff.   what modules are you referring to?
[05:42] <Coosh> EvilSHAME, you need to add options to rsync
[05:42] <Jimd1> multidex:  alsa* stuff
[05:42] <multidex> Jimd1: use synaptic and search for 'ALSA'
[05:42] <harushimo> just curious, why streaming video doesn't work properly on linux
[05:43] <weltschmerz> anyone know why compiz only works for one user for me?
[05:43] <Seak> need help with drivers for my wireless insternet on my vaio i have gusty  on it with a atheros built in
[05:43] <Coosh> ID_EGO_,you need to add options to rsync, there is a swithc to perserve owner/perms what not.. do a man sync it will tell you in there
[05:43] <harushimo> why does that happen
[05:43] <Jimd1> that alone will result in a ton of hits in synaptic.  i doubt installing everything would be wise.
[05:43] <multidex> harushimo: do you have mplayer with gstreamer packages?
[05:43] <ID_EGO_> If I do: sudo rsync -e ssh -avz it should work
[05:43] <bullgard4> udevd is the 'event managing daemon'. What do the letters 'udevd' stand for?
[05:43] <harushimo> yeah but I can't full screen on some sites
[05:43] <harushimo> why is that
[05:44] <multidex> Jimd1: it will get you in the right direction I believe
[05:44] <ID_EGO_> -a contains all switched to preserve the permissions
[05:44] <mwilliam13> hello?  Anyone know of a decent place to find some very appealing and artistic backgrounds that are ubuntu centric?
[05:44] <Coosh> ID_EGO_, try doing it without tunnelling thru ssh to see if thats whats stopping it?

[05:45] <robert__> hey can anybody help me get some snow effect on my desktop...i don't know how to do it i have googled it and everything
[05:46] <Jimd1> multidex:  remember tho, it works under fedora 8 and the sound starts to play upon initialization of the gui and gnome.  it just terminates 1/2 way through the playback and never recovers.
[05:46] <ID_EGO_> Cooch, I have a local rsync script that works fine via snapshot backups
[05:46] <mwilliam13> thank you...  :)
[05:46] <ID_EGO_> i think it must be ssh
[05:46] <multidex> the executible file 'firefox' is not in /usr/share ...  why does it taunt me so?
[05:46] <ID_EGO_> btw, i am going from 1 machine to another
[05:47] <Jimd1> multidex:  is there a way to tell it to restart alsa at the command line?
[05:47] <ID_EGO_> i am working on a remote backup server
[05:47] <multidex> Jimd1: sounds like my ex ... just kidding
[05:47] <ID_EGO_> 1 question, do I need to have all the users on the destination machine for it to preserve?
[05:48] <harushimo> i'm about download amd64 version of ubuntu, this should work with my intel dual core duo right?
[05:48] <Dr_willis> harushimo,  yes.. but you may want to ask yourself. do you really need the 64bit?
[05:49] <harushimo> I would like to utlize my processor since I have it
[05:49] <Dr_willis> http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/11/26/32bit-vs-64bit-ubuntu-that-is-the-question/
[05:49] <multidex> Jimd1: what do you have set under System->Preferences->sound?
[05:49] <robert__> what's so bad about the 64 bit?
[05:49] <jacob_> someone please tell me what i'm doing wrong if anything is ok with these outputs let me know. http://pastebin.com/m42dba65c
[05:49] <harushimo> I agree I might not need it
[05:49] <zetheroo> I want to setup Ubuntu Server on a Thinkpad ... is there some good documentation and How-To's for this?
[05:49] <ID_EGO_> has anyone ever successfully created a remote backup server using ssh and rsync here?
[05:49] <Dr_willis> harushimo,   may want to check the url i just posted. :) personally ive never gained from 64bit.  the  Numbercrunching tasks i do. never seem to gain from it.
[05:50] <ID_EGO_> this seems more of a GUI disto based channel
[05:50] <jacob_> never mind i got it
[05:50] <zetheroo> I want to setup Ubuntu Server on a Thinkpad ... is there some good documentation and How-To's for this?
[05:50] <delete> Jimd1, if you need to restart alsa you need to navigate to the folder where it is installed and type alsa restart
[05:51] <calc> or just run /etc/init.d/alsa restart
[05:51] <calc> running commands in the directory without ./foo won't work unless . is in your path anyway
[05:52] <harushimo> Dr_willis: I just check it
[05:53] <delete> calc, yea i forgot about that
[05:53] <terrorxs> where do I find the xfree display settings, if I cannot get into xfree?
[05:54] <harushimo> Dr_willis: which version should I get
[05:54] <harushimo> of ubuntu now
[05:55] <Dr_willis> harushimo,  depends on what youa re going to do.. If just genreal desktop/websurfing/games/emulation - id say stick with 32 bit.
[05:55] <eylisian> ID_EGO_, BackupPC rawks it for rsync and ssh backups. Set up passwdless SSH for it.
[05:55] <delete> 64 bit seem pointless
[05:56] <sainzeo> hey everyone, i'm unable to enter a password into the authentication dialog using Terminal Server Client while running Compiz - any suggestions?
[05:56] <harushimo> Dr_willis: I do some scripting, I want to fool around with blender and other open source software
[05:56] <Rubin> is there a way to add other folders to the list on the left in the file browser?
[05:56] <zetheroo> is there a room for Ubuntu Server Edition?
[05:56] <Rubin> next to Documents, Music, Videos, etc
[05:56] <harushimo> if the 32 bit is good enough, I'll get it
[05:57] <Dr_willis> harushimo,  i doubt if you will gain much from 64 bits then.. blender MIGHT gain a little boost.
[05:57] <razorbuzz> Good morning all.  I've recently installed the Frontpage Extensions to my Apache2 configuration.  Is there a way to test whether or not they were installed correctly from my linux box?  I don't use, nor have access to, FrontPage, and the person using it to upload his site is less than tech-suavy so I need to verify before giving the connection info
[05:58] <bmwerks> is there a command i can use to delete something tht wont let me delete it? its not an essential file
[05:59] <harushimo> Dr_willis: ok
[05:59] <sn00zer> bmwerks: sudo rm <file>
[05:59] <Coosh> OMG FRIGIN RETARTED
[05:59] <bmwerks> thanks
[06:00] <ID_EGO_> eylisian, I can not use backup pc because it is GUI based
[06:00] <sabaccatus> Is anyone here well versed in compiling the 80211 subsystem?
[06:00] <Coosh> I pull out my vc and use hte onboard it works, however, with the vc in there it does not output to any display both are the same FRIGIN chipset.. both nvidia 6x series
[06:00] <stuart-> what's the package name for flash player again if i wanna install it thru apt?
[06:00] <ID_EGO_> I think i figured it out
[06:00] <ID_EGO_> Adding –rsync-path=’sudo /usr/local/bin/rsync’ after the -avz options fixes this and ownerships are transferred.
[06:01] <ID_EGO_> need to test it out, i hope i dont break something
[06:01] <Dr_willis> Coosh,  does your video card have 2 Monitor connectors? The other day i had a nvidia based machine that defaulted to one port..  Another machine defaulted to the other port.. :)
[06:01] <sn00zer> stuart: either flashplugin or flashplugin-nonfree, i forget which or if it matters
[06:02] <stuart-> sn00zer, alright. thanks
[06:02] <sn00zer> stuart: there's also a flashplayer-mozilla
[06:02] <ID_EGO_> does anyone know of a good program for ubuntu server that will help out with SSH script kiddies
[06:02] <marek`> anyone have a link to interfaces file that ships with ubuntu?
[06:02] <ID_EGO_> my server is attacked 24/7
[06:02] <marek`> mine seems to have been deleted
[06:03] <marek`> or not deleted
[06:03] <bmwerks> sn00zer: it says no such file or directory but i know its there i see it in the folder
[06:03] <sabaccatus> does anyone know anything about compiling the ieee80211 subsystem?
[06:03] <marek`> but it only contains audo lo
[06:04] <StoneNote> ID_EGO_, apt-get install denyhosts
[06:05] <sn00zer> bmwerks: if you try cd to it in a terminal and it doesn't show up with $ ls then its probably already gone, maybe it will go away in the gui if you restart x (ctrl+alt+backspace)?
[06:05] <wayne_> so dose any one know about sound
[06:06] <Dr_willis> !alsa | wayne_
[06:06] <ubotu> wayne_: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[06:07] <wayne_> tried that and my sound dose work some times
[06:08] <razorbuzz> Is there a way to test whether or not Frontpage Extensions were installed correctly?

[06:08] <sainzeo> hey everyone, i'm unable to enter a password into the authentication dialog using Terminal Server Client while running Compiz - any suggestions?

I was configuring multiple displays, and when I logged out to apply them, it crashed xwin, now it gives me a display error. how do I go back? ive been racking my brain for the last hour trying to get this fixed to no avail.
[06:09] <boss> How to edit orca screen reader for my local language
[06:09] <wayne_> just when i try to ajust my system volume it stops
[06:09] <pteague> razorbuzz> pay the $$ for frontpage & test it or say it is & wait to see if you get any clients calling & complaining about it?
[06:09] <Dr_willis> sainzeo,  ive seen that issue with other  programs.. i THINK ive seen where shift-click may do it.. I always disable compiz :)
[06:09] <sainzeo> Dr_willis: hmm, let me try that
[06:10] <Dr_willis> sainzeo,  some one in here mentioned a  key combo that worked - i think.. :P
[06:10] <sainzeo> Dr_willis: you were right! thanks for the easy fix!!!
