[20:25] <ssn> turbo_: i want gnome to not argue with me
[20:25] <pen> HardDisk, I did, I tried btnx but it's not what I want
[20:25] <HardDisk> hmm
[20:25] <pen> HardDisk, using udev rules only fix the event but can't make it hotplug
[20:25] <turbo_> set it in fstab...
[20:25] <pen> Jack_Sparrow, oh
[20:25] <ssn> but there is no way to correct the mount point in gnome, because i can only do that when its mounted
[20:25] <ssn> turbo_: ok
[20:25] <Jack_Sparrow> pen thanks
[20:25] <pen> Flare183, thx for reminding the second time
[20:25] <Buyydee> Hey, is there a backup programme that can produce backups of all partitions (including windows etc) and has a boot function in case my system won't start?
[20:26] <Flare183> pen: no problem
[20:26] <pen> Flare183, do you then know the answer?
[20:26] <turbo_> or...do a restart, and mount it correctly...
[20:26] <turbo_> if it isn't mounted at boot it should be clean at boot...
[20:26] <lch> I want to automatically run a script whenever the network interface changes its IP address, where can I do that?
[20:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Buyydee there are many ways to backup your system... most would require you boot to a second os or a live cd
[20:26] <stodan> have you any idea what might cause huge delay (30-60 secs before grub menu and 5 mins after menu, but before "Starting up...") while booting from external harddrive (usb 250gb)
[20:26]  * Flare183 doesn't know the question (hehe)
[20:26] <pen> Flare183, evdev will unload if it can't found a device then I don't knwo how  to load that manually to make mouse work
[20:27] <Jack_Sparrow> ssn Are you in ubuntu now
[20:27] <pen> HardDisk, do you know how to load such module?
[20:27] <turbo_> stodan: make sure your boot priority is set properly
[20:27] <ssn> Jack_Sparrow: yes
[20:27] <turbo_> stodan: sorry didn't read the question
[20:27] <Jack_Sparrow> stodan It often helps to remove "splash" from your grub boot command line
[20:28] <Buyydee> Jack_Sparrow: OK, I just wondered if there is one which can do incremental ones running in the background, so I have to do nothing manually ^^. I have a proper backup programme by O&O, so I'm going to use that one. Thanks anyway
[20:28] <HardDisk> pen, apparently btnx is the way to go with hardy
[20:28] <stodan> i might add that when i installed fresh system it worked ok
[20:28] <HardDisk> pen, http://www.ollisalonen.com/btnx/
[20:28] <stodan> but then i moved my old system onto it
[20:28] <Jack_Sparrow> ssn just so we have some info on how your system is setup I will give you a long command to paste into a terminal...
[20:28] <Jack_Sparrow> ssn sudo apt-get install pastebinit  && cp /etc/fstab ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && sudo fdisk -l >> ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && lsb_release -a >> ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && cat /home/$USER/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt | pastebinit  (Provide Pastebin link in channel)
[20:29] <julian2495322> how can you make banshee automatically add new music to your library
[20:29] <Bracki> Why do I have to press the ^and ~ keys twice to get the actual symbol in a terminal?
[20:29] <pen> HardDisk, but I can't make each button have individual event so I can assign it to compiz
[20:29] <justme> Bracki,
[20:29] <justme> you dont have eliminate dead keys
[20:29] <justme> as Keyboard layout
[20:29] <justme> ;)
[20:29] <Bracki> ah ok thanks
[20:29] <justme> if you take eliminate dead keys this will fix this
[20:30] <HardDisk> pen, xbindkeys
[20:30] <esteth> Should I use ndiswrapper instead of madwifi, since madwifi appears to either have died, or fallen off the internet?

[20:33] <nDuff> Is there a mechanism to rebuild ubuntu packages w/o stripping or optimization above -O1?
[20:33] <atb2008> how do i go about getting that? lol

[20:34] <ksbalaji> hoens: you were telling something about changing fstab. What do you mean by changing? I have a similar problem.  I want to shift my /home and /usr folder to another partition in the same drive
[20:34]  * nDuff is trying to track down as issue in libvirt, and even with the debug packages from ddebs.ubuntu.com it's not easy going due to the optimization level. the optimization level
[20:34] <ksbalaji> Hi! Am I on the ubuntu channel? I get no msgs for 10 minutes now !
[20:34] <wols_> more info needed
[20:34] <Starnestommy> ksbalaji: you are
[20:34] <atb2008> yeah... thats the other thing... its wireless doesnt show up at all....
[20:34] <bringatowel> atb2008, sudo apt-get install envyng-core
[20:34] <atb2008> ty
[20:34] <bringatowel> atb2008, sure give it a try, you might want to install envyng-gtk as well
[20:34] <atb2008> uh
[20:34] <wols_> nDuff: yes but you have to do with every package you need in this way manually
[20:35] <featherstrong> no ip is being assigned even when network manager connects to a network
[20:35] <stodan> ok, another approach: if i have 2 disks, one with that huge delay on grub loading and one which works fine (same disks, and almost the same partition layout (at least / and /boot)), what configs i should try to compare? (same kernel versions also)
[20:35] <atb2008> error couldnt find package envyng-core
[20:35] <wols_> bringatowel: how does envy help with wlan?
[20:35] <atb2008> lol
[20:35] <LogiTech> PLEASE some1 tell me which 1 is better "Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 2.1GHz" or "Intel Core 2 Duo T7250 2GHZ" Thank you !!
[20:35] <atb2008> nowwhat?
[20:35] <atb2008> rofl
[20:35] <bringatowel> wols_, it doesnt "atb2008> I just installed ubuntu 8.04 x64 on my laptop... which uses nvidia geforce go 7150m and i can't seem to find a driver for that card..."
[20:35] <nDuff> wols_, that's no fun; I was hoping that if I did an "apt-get source", there'd be an easy way to modify the relevant parameters and build a new package.
[20:35] <wols_> stodan: menu.lst the timeout
[20:35] <ASULutzy> LogiTech: Higher clock speed is always better right :) Though L2 cache matters too
[20:35] <dede441> the first one ... LogiTech
[20:35] <wols_> nDuff: yes but you still have to manually apt-get source, edit and build it
[20:36] <nDuff> wols_, the current upstream code works fine; I'm specifically interested in debugging the ubuntu package as patched.
[20:36] <atb2008> any ideas bringatowel if it cant find the package?
[20:36] <HardDisk> stodan, fsck the drives unmounted, and double check it
[20:36] <HardDisk> stodan, also see if they are both ext3 or one is ext2 (which will be slightly slower)
[20:36] <wols_> atb2008: nvidia-glx-new or such. the normal nvidia drivers
[20:36] <wols_> !nvidia | atb2008
[20:36] <nDuff> wols_, ahh, yeah. I'm not exceptionally familiar w/ debian's packaging, but as long as there's a little documentation re which switches need to be flipped pre-rebuild, that shouldn't be so bad.
[20:36] <wols_> HardDisk: ext2 is FASTER than ext2
[20:36] <bringatowel> atb2008, go to System -> Admin -> Software Sources and enable "Universe" (and proprietary drivers too if you want)
[20:36] <wols_> HardDisk: ext2 is faster than ext3 that is
[20:37] <HardDisk> wols_, check your info.  You sure about that?
[20:37] <ksbalaji> Sorry to repeat. I got disconnected. = How to set a new mount point on /etc/fstab for system folders in another partition? can I copy a folder from filesystem partition and use the same name? i.e.: /usr and /home pl?
[20:37] <ASULutzy> HardDisk: ext3 > ext2 though. With ext2 you have to run fsck after every single improper shutdown. To heck with that ;)
[20:37] <wols_> HardDisk: yes I am sure: ext3 is ext2+journallng. the journaling isn't free...
[20:38] <wols_> ksbalaji: yes. use cp -a  tho
[20:38] <Jack_Sparrow> ksbalaji I have a link that can help with that.. one sec
[20:38] <wols_> ksbalaji: and only copy when the source filesystem is mounted read only
[20:38] <featherstrong> is there anyone who can help?
[20:38] <stodan> HardDisk, both drives are brand new, /boot is 512mb, everything ext3, after Starting up... message it works like a charm, it broke, when i cp -a / /target from my old drive (preserving fstab and menu.lst)
[20:38] <nDuff> blerg; switched to libvirt0-dbg, and apparently it's still compiled above -O1
[20:38] <HardDisk> journaling makes it faster btw
[20:38] <bringatowel> !ask | featherstrong
[20:38] <wols_> featherstrong: I told you: more info or no help
[20:38] <HardDisk> wols_, ext3's journaling optimizes hard drive head motion
[20:39] <esteth> HardDisk, Incorrect, afaik. Journalling decreases performance, but increases safety
[20:39] <wols_> HardDisk: you're funny. but please stop talking to me when you#re OT
[20:39] <pen> how do I load module like evdev in session after login?
[20:39] <Jack_Sparrow> ksbalaji Here are the basics  http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome
[20:39] <HardDisk> wols_, try to be a bit more polite.
[20:39] <the_eraser> anyone into files?
[20:40] <Odeesi> hi everyone
[20:40] <wols_> HardDisk: try to have a semblance of a clue
[20:40] <KyleK> hi
[20:40] <[T]ank> anyone else here using blueman with ubuntu 7.10?
[20:40] <HardDisk> wols_, I won't argue with you, I've already seen your attitude here in the past, and I don't take to arrogant trolls. I'm done thank you.
[20:41] <Odeesi> may I just ask a small question?
[20:41] <LogiTech> 2. question =) which1 is better  " Intel GMA X3100 " or " nVIDIA GeForce Go 8600M GT" ??????? Thank you again =)
[20:41] <ssn> Jack_Sparrow: ?
[20:41] <wols_> LogiTech: #hardware
[20:41] <justme> LogiTech, OFC NVIDIA!
[20:41] <ssn> in ubuntu 8.04, i used the properities dialog of a partition to set the mount point. unfortunatly, i gave it a / at the beginning, now the disk does not mount because it doesnt like /. how do i get rid of this?
[20:41] <justme> Intel Chipsets are slow
[20:41] <justme> ;)
[20:41] <Jack_Sparrow> Guys... lets keep it friendly
[20:41] <ASULutzy> LogiTech: The Intel card is onboard. Meaning it's going to be not as powerful as teh Nvidia. The Nvidia is better but will drain batteries a touch more
[20:41] <the_eraser> Odeesi: they want you to just ask and dont ask to ask :)
[20:41] <Odeesi> alrighty ;)
[20:41] <Odeesi> well, I am running a rootserver with Ubuntu Dapper Drake... unfortunately, I now need software for it that requires Gutsy Gibbon... so, as I don't want to reinstall everything, is there any chance to upgrade to gutsy as edgy is no longer supported?
[20:42] <wols_> !dapper
[20:42] <featherstrong> sorry .... ok im a newbie ... did a fresh install of hardy a few days ago ... previously I could roam wireless networks ... now while I seem to be able to connect to a network I find that I am not assigned an ip in that network and so i cannot get to the internet ... now i can only use a wired connection
[20:42] <wols_> Odeesi: just upgrade to current LTS hardy
[20:42] <HardDisk> LogiTech, they are both good chipsets, it all depends on how much extra you want to pay for the nvidia and/or if you want it for extreme gaming for example.
[20:42] <wols_> !ot
[20:42] <sparky01> anyone else having "low graphics mode" problem with Nvidia 8800 GT
[20:42] <wols_> sparky01: what driver?
[20:42] <atb2008> hey, how do i add the universe repository in ubuntu 8.04?
[20:42] <wols_> !universe | atb2008
[20:42] <sparky01> wols_, 1 second
[20:42] <ASULutzy> LogiTech: The intel card will work for all 2d stuff, and you'll be able to use compiz too. But if you plan on playing lots of 3d games, you'll need the Nvidia
[20:43] <wols_> !ot | ASULutzy
[20:43] <Odeesi> wols_: well, unfortunately hardy is not an option for me as you cannot install plesk for example
[20:43] <HardDisk> LogiTech, the X3100 for example will play a lot of games without a glitch, but don't expect heavy intensive FPS games like fear or crysis to play on full gfx :)
[20:43] <sparky01> wols_, the new nvidia one from the repos
[20:43] <wols_> sparky01: that one should work just fine. check your logs
[20:43] <sparky01> wols_, how do i find the version again?
[20:43] <HardDisk> LogiTech, the x3100 plays fifa08 smoothly for example, and UT2004 so it all depends on your personal needs.
[20:43] <wols_> dpkg -l |grep nvidia
[20:43] <Jenn_> is there any way i can do something like this on startup ; sudo mount --bind "/media/windows/Documents and Settings/jenn/My Documents/My Pictures" "/home/jenn/Pictures"
[20:43] <wols_> HardDisk: #hardware
[20:44] <ASULutzy> wols_: The guy was asking for laptop help, presumably because he wanted to install ubuntu to it. That's hardly off topic.
[20:44] <sparky01> wols_, i keeps unconfiguring my X setup and putting me into low grapics mode
[20:44] <bastid_raZor>
[20:44] <ksbalaji> thanks friends!

[20:46] <ghaleb> hello people, I have a big problem, I'm using Hardy, it acts very slowly because everything returns to the HD the system load indicator is full, I don't know what to do
[20:46] <jester7> does anyone have any idea whether there are plans to update the hardy ISO image to fix the SSH vulnerability?
[20:46] <sparky01> wols_,  it wouldnt boot right. keeps going to low graphics mode and then it shows like half the screen.  so I booted into recovery mode and did a repair X
[20:46] <sparky01> wols_, so my xorg.conf is default now
[20:46] <HardDisk> jester7, 8.04.1
[20:47] <HardDisk> jester7, but you can easily fix that with an apt-get update upgrade
[20:47] <HardDisk> jester7, and you can create your own custom ISO if you want.
[20:47] <sparky01> wols_, should I use nvidia-xconfig
[20:47] <jester7> HardDisk: yeah, i realize, but sometimes i use the liveCD for the ssh client
[20:47] <apuci> hi
[20:47] <ghaleb> people. please the hard disk is never stops

[20:55] <mmartinn> Is there any way to tell Ubuntu to swap even *less* than it is swapping now? I've turned down vm.swapiness to zero, and I have a whole gigabyte of RAM free still, but the kernel is swapping stuff out of RAM so it can buffer more...
[20:55] <mzanfardino> nm, worked it out
[20:55] <Invade1> In the console, when I execute q3 from the /Quake3/ directory, then it works perfect. However, when I execute q3 from the root of my filesystem, it says that it cannot find the game packages (pk3-files)... How can that be?

[20:58] <atb2008> ok, on my hp laptop... ubuntu doesnt seem to see my atheros ar5007 wireless card at all... works fin in windows.... but...
[20:58] <uffo> how i can force to install software,
[20:58] <enaner>  QUESTION: whats your favorrite thing on UBUNTU? im running out of fun things to do
[20:59] <HardDisk> enaner, #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:59] <ASULutzy> enaner: If you have a decent graphics card, install some games. (Or even if you have a bad graphics card you can probably run Wesnoth, sudo apt-get install wesnoth, or google it and compile it from source)
[20:59] <Jack_Sparrow> enaner Please /join #ubuntu-offtopic for discussing fun things to do
[20:59] <ASULutzy> Or join #ot ;)
[20:59] <simplyubuntu> can anyone help me? my ipod doesn't show up in banshee
[20:59] <atb2008> nobody on the wireless card?
[20:59] <atb2008> lol
[20:59] <HardDisk> simplyubuntu, are you using the new version 1.0?
[20:59] <shelbyscates> my scp is broken :(
[20:59] <simplyubuntu> HardDisk of banshee?
[21:00] <simplyubuntu> nope 0.13.2
[21:00] <HardDisk> atb2008, you may need to use the madwifi/ath5 drivers check the website
[21:00] <simplyubuntu> (if you're asking abt banshee)
[21:00] <HardDisk> atb2008, or ndiswrapper if that works.
[21:00] <ajopaul> hi, may be offtopic, am on a windows network with ubuntu, how do i find out whats, the ip of Active Directory
[21:01] <ASULutzy> Jack_Sparrow: why did you mention that alien was the devil earlier? Is it really that big of a deal if someone needs to convert a .rpm to a .deb?
[21:01] <simplyubuntu> HardDisk?
[21:01] <Jack_Sparrow> !alien
[21:01] <uffo> DOES anyone knows how i can force to install any application and how i can make MPlayer to run like portable app without install
[21:01] <HardDisk> ASULutzy, most of the time you don't need alien, only use it if you REALLY know what you're doing
[21:01] <HardDisk> simplyubuntu, does it work with other apps?
[21:01] <Jack_Sparrow> ASULutzy It can work, it can trash your system..  compiling it yourself is a way better choice
[21:01] <bimp> anyone know why scp always denies permission for me?
[21:02] <simplyubuntu> HardDisk yup rhythmbox
[21:02] <ASULutzy> HardDisk, Jack_Sparrow: Right, I agree. I just thought there was something fundamentally bad about alien that I didn't know about, I don't know that I've ever actually used it for anything, I'd usually just compile from source
[21:02] <HardDisk> simplyubuntu, maybe the easiest solution is to remove the .banshee folder in home and try again?
[21:02] <simplyubuntu> ASULutzy sorry to interrupt but I know that feeling too :)
[21:02] <Jack_Sparrow> ASULutzy I had a link that told about it.. sticking things in the wrong places etc... messing things up..
[21:02] <simplyubuntu> HardDisk I'll try
[21:02] <simplyubuntu> should back it up though :)
[21:03] <bimp> :'(
[21:04] <burrito> :\
[21:04] <simplyubuntu> HardDisk no such folder :)
[21:04] <HardDisk> ajopaul, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryHowto
[21:04] <HardDisk> simplyubuntu, check in .config or in .gnome2
[21:04] <jsubl2> will kubuntu slide up vista and make room ok.  is that safe
[21:04] <HardDisk> I don't use banshee
[21:05] <bumbl3b33> if you find a you can break the passwords for vnc and rdp then they become a trojan right ?
[21:05] <bumbl3b33> which is something good..
[21:05] <ASULutzy> bumbl3b33: Sure I guess. But the same could be said for ssh, does that make it a trojan?
[21:06] <Jack_Sparrow> bumbl3b33 How is this ubuntu support related?
[21:06] <nom_s> what do the curly braces in menuconfig mean? ie. {M} vv [M]
[21:06] <bumbl3b33> ssh is more difficult to crack
[21:06] <uffo> do anyone knows how i can force to install any application and how i can make MPlayer to run like portable app without install
[21:06] <simplyubuntu> HardDisk it doesn't look like a config folder
[21:06] <bumbl3b33> unless u try phyton
[21:06] <simplyubuntu> just some album covers and a plugin folder
[21:07] <ASULutzy> bumbl3b33: How do you figure? a bad password is a bad password. I guess you could use key pairs for ssh, but I assumed that there's a way to do that for VNC as well
[21:07] <HardDisk> uffo, make it portable for what?
[21:07] <Owner_> anyone know why my wireless won't connect?
[21:07] <Owner_> on ubuntu
[21:07] <pawpaw> Hello:  How do I keep VMware server from starting at boot?  Do I do something with /etc/init.d/vmware ?
[21:07] <Owner_> do i ned to dl a driver?
[21:07] <uffo> i mean i extract mplayer to ubuntu desktop and run like in windows i drop movie to exe and it runs
[21:07] <ajopaul> HardDisk, thn, but the how to doesn't mention how to find the ad address,
[21:08] <bumbl3b33> aulutzy whats key pairs?
[21:08] <HardDisk> uffo, get mplayer for windows and put it on a USB pendrive, then for linux install puppy linux or DSL and install the apps you want on it
[21:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Owner_ You might check in supported hardware to see how others have or have not got your hardware type to work
[21:08] <HardDisk> ajopaul, sorry then, I don't work with active directories myself.
[21:08] <uffo> you mean with wine
[21:08] <Owner_> where?
[21:08] <bumbl3b33> i thought it was more secure ssh encrypted and strong authentication..
[21:08] <bumbl3b33> as the old unix guys say
[21:08] <HardDisk> uffo, no
[21:09] <Starnestommy> Owner_: it depends on which wireless card you have
[21:09] <ajopaul> HardDisk, thnx anywas, :)
[21:09] <uffo> but i want linux version(ubuntu) mplayer binary
[21:09] <ASULutzy> bumbl3b33: You can VNC over ssh https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH
[21:09] <Owner_> ok
[21:09] <Jack_Sparrow> !hardware
[21:09] <HardDisk> uffo, and do what with it?
[21:10] <uffo> use it to play movies like in window i did
[21:10] <wasabi> making an ubuntu bootable install cd:  following https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/boot-usb-files.html
[21:10] <bumbl3b33> first time i heard that thx
[21:10] <wasabi> Where do I drop the .iso file?
[21:10] <wasabi> And what component in the initrd.gz is reponsible for finding the iso?
[21:10] <HardDisk> uffo, so apt-get install it, I dont see the purpose of what it is you want.
[21:10] <bumbl3b33> i use currently win ..
[21:10] <HardDisk> uffo, if you want a binary, go to the mplayer site if there isn't one, compile one yourself.
[21:10] <Dhraakellian> I'm having some package management troubles.  Some history first, before the pastebin link: I had completely run out of space on my boot partition, so I went to uninstall the oldest two of the four kernel versions I had installed.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/19709/
[21:10] <bumbl3b33> thats why im not familiar with ubuntu yet
[21:11] <Owner_> ubottu: thank you :)
[21:11] <Owner_> lol..
[21:11] <uffo> i am no expert of compiling, i even removed gcc stuff, i need only binary soft
[21:11] <ASULutzy> I wish ubottu was wittier, I mean he's so socially awkward...
[21:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Owner_ Ubottu is a bot that we trigger to save lots of typing
[21:11] <bumbl3b33> but the next os is gonna be this one
[21:11] <Dhraakellian> it looks like the linux-ubuntu-modules- package wasn't uninstalled when I uninstalled the linux-image- package
[21:11] <HardDisk> ASULutzy, he's more socially adept than a lot of IRC users.
[21:12] <Dhraakellian> HardDisk: damning with faint praise
[21:12] <HardDisk> :)
[21:12] <JC_Denton_> trying to run update-manager and an error is returned: ImportError: /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2: symbol png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8, version PNG12_0 not defined in file libpng12.so.0 with link time reference
[21:12] <thehurley> hello, has anyone every had problems with fonts in 8.04 where some of the character is not visible, but running your mouse over the character corrects it?
[21:12] <pen> how do I load module like evdev in session after login?
[21:13] <HardDisk> pen, man modprobe
[21:13] <HardDisk> thehurley, maybe a refresh issue?
[21:13] <erUSUL> pen: at boot time /etc/modules
[21:13] <bumbl3b33> setting up a remote ircd is really difficult to set up ...
[21:13] <Dhraakellian> I tried downloading the linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic package from the 7.10 mirrors and then installing it again, but I can't do that without aptitude (or just regular apt-get) unsuccessfully trying to first uninstall the linux-ubuntu-modules- package
[21:13] <pen> erUSUL, I don't need boot time I just need to load after login
[21:14] <Dhraakellian> anyone know I can get around this?
[21:14] <uffo> at least how i can force software to install, example i need force install winbind library
[21:14] <bumbl3b33> i had spent alot of time but only ended up with local host
[21:14] <thehurley> HardDisk do you know how i change the refresh?  Could this be the the screen refresh?
[21:14] <pen> HardDisk, modprobe? after login? evdev works?
[21:14] <jester7> if i mount a share using the "Connect to Server" gui, where would I find that share via the command line?
[21:14] <Dhraakellian> I would just ignore the issue, were it not blocking every package management action that want to do
[21:15] <pen> HardDisk, no, I think you were just kidding. modprove add removes modules from linux kernel. I dont' want that
[21:16] <pen> how do I load module like evdev in session after login?
[21:16] <bumbl3b33> is tubes .. tubes ..
[21:16] <pen> Load evdev after login
[21:16] <HardDisk> thehurley, if its a nvidia card you'd do it via nvidia-settings you may need to sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings first
[21:16] <pen> so the mouse would work again
[21:16] <pen> without restarting x
[21:16] <HardDisk> pen, I wasn't kidding, but you're better to follow erSul's method
[21:17] <bumbl3b33> its not possible to play win games on ubuntu is it ?
[21:17] <uffo> can someone tell me how i can force software to install, example i need force install winbind library currently - i am in root account
[21:17]  * Dhraakellian wonders if some direct dpkg commands would help or not
[21:17] <pen> HardDisk, after login? you sure?
[21:17] <bumbl3b33> video games
[21:17] <HardDisk> pen, add to /etc/modprobe.d/
[21:17] <erUSUL> !games | bumbl3b33
[21:17] <nikolam> Hi boys and girls, How do I use UDF DVD+-RW disks formatted with UDF file system? :)
[21:17] <thehurley> HardDisk its an ATI card.  I'm using the opensource driver
[21:17] <fadi> HIIIIIIIII ALLL
[21:17] <pen> HardDisk, that wouldn't do anything to my mouse
[21:17] <HardDisk> thehurley, sorry, haven't used ATI in years.
[21:17] <pen> HardDisk, I would still have to restart x to take effect
[21:17] <erUSUL> bumbl3b33: dying like a lemming on urban terror a few minutes ago ;P
[21:18] <HardDisk> pen, why?
[21:18] <pen> HardDisk, I want to make evdev hotplug, that's the only way I think it would manually work
[21:18] <hiptobecubic> i'm having a problem with grub not choosing a valid video mode. i'm not sure how to change the settings
[21:18] <pen> HardDisk, it's about loading unloading module from linux kernel
[21:18] <HardDisk> pen, modprobing doesn't require restarting x
[21:18] <hiptobecubic> after i choose a kernal to boot, it tells me taht i have to pick a video mode
[21:18] <mancmatt> i'm bulding a pc specifically for ubuntu, i want to get a graphics card that's most compatible (yet still supports dual head and good resolutions), is there a list anywhere i could look at?
[21:18] <bumbl3b33> whats tha  dying like a lemming ?
[21:18] <pen> HardDisk, it doesn't make it detect mouse again
[21:18] <JC_Denton_> trying to run update-manager and an error is returned: ImportError: /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2: symbol png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8, version PNG12_0 not defined in file libpng12.so.0 with link time reference
[21:18] <erUSUL> !hardware | mancmatt
[21:18] <bumbl3b33> i mean new games the latest ones...
[21:19] <bumbl3b33> not quake or unreal
[21:19] <bumbl3b33> nor wolfenstein
[21:19] <pen> HardDisk, in the system log, the xorg can unload evdev if it can't detect the mouse, then I think why can't I load the evdev by my own, but modprobe is not one of the choices I think
[21:19] <hiptobecubic> wolfenstein rules
[21:19] <bumbl3b33> something like crysis
[21:19] <Dhraakellian> "sudo dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic_2.6.22-14.52_i386.deb" appears to have worked and allowed me to remove the linux-ubuntu-modules- package
[21:19] <Dhraakellian> thanks for putting up with me thinking out loud
[21:19] <pawpaw> How do I keep VMware server from starting at boot?  Do I do something with /etc/init.d/vmware ?
[21:19] <bumbl3b33> or maybe company of heroes
[21:19] <jihedamine> hi
[21:20] <HardDisk> bumbl3b33, :/
[21:20] <Jack_Sparrow> bumbl3b33 I would politely ask you /join #ubuntu-offtopic since you are not running ubuntu and your questions are not support related
[21:20] <jihedamine> i'd like to hide failure messages displayed in console when booting
[21:20] <bumbl3b33> dont worry ..
[21:20] <mancmatt> thanks erUSUL
[21:20] <bumbl3b33> im learning here
[21:20] <erUSUL> mancmatt: no problem
[21:20] <uffo>  how i can force software to install, example: i need force install winbind library currently
[21:20] <bumbl3b33> there is more people here
[21:20] <dannyishere> hi there
[21:20] <bumbl3b33> 1400 odd
[21:21] <ASULutzy> bumbl3b33: When he said politely I think he meant go there before you get kicked (:
[21:21] <Jack_Sparrow> !ot > bumbl3b33
[21:21] <bumbl3b33> ok bye bye
[21:21] <nom_s> what do the curly braces in menuconfig mean? ie. {M} vv [M]
[21:21] <dannyishere> can anybody here help me with problems regarding gnome-settings-daemon? :)
[21:21] <[T]ank> having some issues with dependencies and could use some help: here is my output and such: http://pastebin.ca/1046361
[21:21] <HardDisk> Jack_Sparrow, I wonder about your patience sometimes :)
[21:21] <Kamus_H_Zwisch> what rule I use on iptables to redirect all my traffic to squid?
[21:21] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[21:21] <fadi> HEEEEEEEY
[21:22] <fadi> Any body can help me here !!!!?
[21:22] <pen> HardDisk, he is not patient obviously
[21:22] <fadi> Any body can help me here !!!!?
[21:22] <omposter> I have two computers: One running arch, one running ubuntu 8.04. My arch box just uses ifconfig and dhcpcd to grab IPs from my router. The ubuntu box has some weird networking mess. Ubuntu box needs to be rebooted several times before it can grab an IP. Any ideas on what I should look for?
[21:22] <fadi> Any body can help me here !!!!?
[21:22] <nano> fadi: what is ur problem
[21:22] <omposter> fadi: stop spamming
[21:22] <pen> how do I start evdev after login?
[21:22] <HardDisk> pen, I actually meant he is :)
[21:22] <OoN_Bo1> ~O) coffee time :)
[21:22] <fadi> howe can i install a cruzer sandisk (diskonkey)
[21:22] <fadi> ?
[21:22] <fadi> howe can i install a cruzer sandisk (diskonkey)
[21:22] <fadi> ?
[21:22] <JC_Denton_> how do you get update manager to run?
[21:22] <fadi> for ubuntu!!!
[21:22] <Jack_Sparrow> pen If you care to discuss it you are free to /join #Ubuntu-ops
[21:22] <HardDisk> JC_Denton_, sudo update-manager
[21:23] <nano> omposter, maybe you need to reduce the MTU size setting on your routher
[21:23] <hfsplus> JC_Denton_, open a terminal and run sudo update-manager
[21:23] <pen> Jack_Sparrow, ops??
[21:23] <fadi> howe can i install a cruzer sandisk (diskonkey) for ubuntu ?!!?!
[21:23] <omposter> nano: how is that even supposed to help? :-\
[21:23] <JC_Denton_> harddisk, hfsplus when its returning ImportError: /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2: symbol png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8, version PNG12_0 not defined in file libpng12.so.0 with link time reference
[21:23] <HardDisk> pen, end the subject :)
[21:23] <ASULutzy> fadi: Did you try plugging it in?
[21:23] <HardDisk> JC_Denton_, let me check that sec
[21:23] <Jack_Sparrow> pen You implied I was not patient with him..  I did not mute or kick him..
[21:24] <fadi> ASUlutzy yes !!
[21:24] <pen> Jack_Sparrow, how do I start evdev from terminal?
[21:24] <pawpaw> -=quick n00b question=-
[21:24] <fadi> its not working !
[21:24] <hiptobecubic> fadi: try throwing it in the trash and going outside for a bit.
[21:24] <pawpaw> How do I keep VMware server from starting at boot?
[21:24] <uffo>  how i can force software to install, example i need force install winbind library currently - that ubuntu software system is so hard and messy to install compared to windows - how i can force to install manually iffline packages
[21:24] <nano> omposter, with my ubuntu, i can only access the router; however, i cannot have my requests forwarded beyond the router if the mtu size setting on the router is not < 1400
[21:24] <nano> try it!
[21:24] <jihedamine> i'm booting ubuntu without usplash and i don't want to see failure messages on every boot, quiet mode isn't enough, how to do please ?
[21:24] <pen> Jack_Sparrow, actually, well, I didn't mean anything just kidding
[21:24] <nano> uffo: are you using apt-get
[21:24] <fadi> hiptobecubic  hahaha
[21:24] <omposter> the setting is at 1500, which should be safe...
[21:24] <hiptobecubic> fadi, :D
[21:24] <Jack_Sparrow> pen np.. sarcasm is lost on irc
[21:25] <pawpaw> how could MTU have anything to do with DHCP, when DHCP packets will be FAR smaller than MTU?
[21:25] <uffo> i want only visual usage and NB: i use root account
[21:25] <fadi> so any body can help me !
[21:25] <ASULutzy> fadi: Ok, so if it's plugged in, it should automount it. Type sudo fdisk -l in a terminal and use pastebin for the output
[21:25] <omposter> I have no idea, ask nano
[21:25] <Boohbah_> Jack_Sparrow: that is why we have emoticons. ;-)
[21:25] <uffo> commands are hard to me
[21:25] <KyleK> pawpaw: what part of vmware server? theres i think a kernel module and like the daemon, which should just be something in /etc/init.d
[21:25] <pen> Boohbah_, O_o
[21:25] <pawpaw> not saying MTU couldn't be the problem, just not likely
 i will try!
[21:25] <HardDisk> sorry but I have to take a break, bbiab
[21:26] <pawpaw> kylek: just don't use it every time I use the machine so I wanted to shut it off unless I need to run it to save resources.... So maybe the dameon?
[21:26] <yesudeep> Noooo!  HardDisks should never take breaks.  :P
[21:26] <HardDisk> :)
[21:26] <tomoyuki28jp> Everytime after booting my hardy, the brightness set back to the max.  Is there anyway to set the default brightness??  It is pretty annoying :(
[21:26] <pen> :|
[21:26] <nano> pawpaw, well u have heard of win XP SP3 crashing routers haven't you....its not uncommon for routers to be buggy
 no it view the details of my HD
[21:27] <pawpaw> nano: seems unlikely
[21:27] <danc3> danc3: err
[21:27] <pawpaw> DHCP is a pretty standard thing
[21:27] <ASULutzy> fadi: You just need to mount the drive. It's really not that hard. Just give us the output of sudo fdisk -l so we can tell you how to mount it
[21:27] <dottie> How can I install ubuntu8.04 using a floppy disk over the Internet (installs using files from the web)?
[21:27] <nano> pawpaw, well they don't call it problem solving for nothing
[21:27] <pawpaw> and i've never seen any machines crash a router, without someone trying to do just that
[21:27] <ASULutzy> fadi: basically you're going to do sudo mkdir /media/usbdisk and then do sudo mount /dev/sdX1 /media/usbdisk
[21:28] <yesudeep> pawpaw: It's UPnP that might be causing router's to reboot.
[21:28] <yesudeep> routers*
[21:28] <randomguy> Help, i need to connect to the internet. I have the wn311b pci adapter from netgear and i hvae the windows driver. How do i make it compatable for uibuntu????
[21:28] <ompaul> !install | dottie here is a list of how you can install stuff
[21:28] <omposter`> sorry, missed whatever you guys said
[21:28] <Pie-rate> is there any way to share a printer from a windows box so that i won't need a driver on the linux box i want to print from?
[21:28] <wols_> !wlan | randomguy
[21:28] <wols_> randomguy: you need ndiswrapper
[21:28] <uffo>  how i can force software to install, example i need force install winbind library
[21:28] <pawpaw> yeah, but you should start with the most likely cause.... if all other machines work OK, and then the *nix box doesn't and has to be rebooted to get an address.... seems to me the *nix box would be where to start
[21:28] <KyleK> pawpaw: update-rc.d vmware-server(dunno exactly) remove <-- maybe?
[21:29] <pawpaw> nano: no offense, just saying
[21:29] <wols_> Pie-rate: no
[21:29] <jughead> what;s a program for checking hard drive integrity?
[21:29] <randomguy> wols_:  ya how do i get that
[21:29] <wols_> jughead: smartmontools
[21:29] <wols_> randomguy: like anything else you want to install in ubuntu
[21:29] <sykopomp`> pawpaw: Both the ones I'm testing are linux boxes.
[21:29] <pawpaw> kylek: yeah, that stops it from ever coming up though I think
[21:29] <KyleK> well you can just /etc/init.d/vmware-server start when you want it
[21:29] <sykopomp`> pawpaw: One is Ubuntu, which is the one with the issue, and the other is Arch.
[21:29] <nano> pawpaw, none taken, thnx
[21:29] <uffo> UBUNTU is quite terror - how i can force software to install, example i need force install winbind library
[21:29] <pawpaw> sykpomp: so you have to reboot the router, or the linux box?
[21:29] <JC_Denton_> guess no one here can help me... off to the forums it is
[21:29] <yesudeep> uffo: What error do you see?
[21:29] <sykopomp`> pawpaw: the linux box.
[21:30] <tomoyuki28jp> Everytime after booting my hardy, the brightness set back to the max.  Is there anyway to set the default brightness??  It is pretty annoying :(
[21:30] <randomguy> wols_: how, i cant connect to internet...
[21:30] <wols_> uffo: what error does apt show you?
[21:30] <sykopomp`> pawpaw: well, the ubuntu box
[21:30] <yesudeep> JC_Denton_: Ask your question?
[21:30] <joaopinto> uffo, are you getting some error installing it ? How are you installing it ?
[21:30] <wols_> randomguy: if you can't connect to the internet you must be only exist in my imagination here
[21:30] <JC_Denton_> yesudeep trying to run update-manager and an error is returned: ImportError: /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2: symbol png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8, version PNG12_0 not defined in file libpng12.so.0 with link time reference
[21:30] <KyleK> pawpaw: well how do you want to control the service then?
[21:30] <pawpaw> sykopomp: I would say maybe you could check the scope on the router, see if it is depleted... lease times... etc... that's only thing I could think of off hand on the router.  What type or router?
[21:30] <randomguy> wols_: i am using diffrent computer
[21:31] <pawpaw> Kylek: just don't want it to start at boot, and then if I want to use it manually start it
[21:31] <wols_> randomguy: but you ARE on the internet and can get anything you need
[21:31] <randomguy> Starnestommy: Hey you there
[21:31] <Starnestommy> randomguy: yeah
[21:31] <randomguy> wols_: ok, so what do i need to get??
[21:31] <KyleK> pawpaw: if you dont trust update-rc.d to just remove the links, which is what it should do
[21:31] <wols_> randomguy: scroll up. I told you already
[21:31] <randomguy> Starnestommy:  well i need wireless help
[21:31] <KyleK> then rm /etc/rc.?d/???vmware-server
[21:31] <sykopomp`> does anyone here at least know where I should start?
[21:32] <randomguy> wols_:  from where do i get ndis wrapper
[21:32] <pawpaw> Kylek: so after that I should still be able to just do a /etc/init.d/vmware start to get it going manually?
[21:32] <KyleK> yea
[21:32] <wols_> randomguy: from the ubuntu repos
[21:32] <sykopomp`> somewhere, something is screwing up. It's not exactly obvious what that is when you use ubanto
[21:32] <uffo> i need install winbind library with force
[21:32] <randomguy> wols_: ok, but right now i am on windows
[21:32] <pawpaw> Kylek: I'll try that, thanks
[21:32] <wols_> randomguy: so? windows can't download files?
[21:33] <wols_> omposter: /etc/network/interfaces. and you most importan of all should tell us more about the network setup. btw: there is no "mess"
[21:33] <amikrop> Hello. How can I convert an mp4 to an mp3?
[21:33] <wols_> amikrop: mp4=video  mp3=audio

[21:34] <pawpaw> sweet I should click on that lisa porno immediately!
[21:34] <randomguy> wols_: ok, i got it , now how do i compile
[21:34] <pawpaw> w00t!
[21:34] <wols_> randomguy: why compile?
[21:34] <pawpaw> that asdflkjasdf;ljasldfj;la   d00d seems trustworthy!!11one
[21:35] <pawpaw> hah
[21:35] <wols_> pawpaw: stop that
[21:35] <ASULutzy> I clicked it :)
[21:35] <amikrop> wols_: Yes, I know. I want just to keep the audio.
[21:35] <dottie> How can I install ubuntu8.04 using a floppy disk over the Internet (installs using files from the web)? (the installation wiki page doesnt really help)
[21:35] <randomguy> wols_: How do i install it, it is a tar
[21:35] <spiritsmoke> ASULutxy .......... I did It
[21:35] <randomguy> wols_: i unpack then what
[21:35] <wols_> amikrop: Section "Screen"
[21:35] <spiritsmoke> My code window is hummiing
[21:36] <spiritsmoke> :)
[21:36] <wols_> randomguy: ubuntu doesn't ship tar files
[21:36] <pawpaw> sykopomp: does it work if you just "ifdown eth" and then "ifup eth" ?
[21:36] <KyleK> heh
[21:36] <wols_> !info ndiswrapper
[21:36] <randomguy> wols_: cd to dir then do i  ' sudo ./coompile
[21:36] <ASULutzy> spiritsmoke: cool!
[21:36] <randomguy> wols_: wait let me retype
[21:36] <wols_> randomguy: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=ndiswrapper&searchon=names&suite=hardy&section=all
[21:36] <wols_> randomguy: NO
[21:36] <KyleK> dottie: i dont think floppy install is possible any more, what do you have against cds?
[21:37] <uffo> Looks like best solution is to run MPlayer with wine, it is one mplayer.exe with all libraries all-in-one - installing software manually in ubuntu is horror
[21:37] <amikrop> wols_: What?!
[21:37] <spiritsmoke> ASULutzy.... I'll post what I did to the PM window I opened in case anybody else ever asks
[21:37] <yesudeep> JC_Denton_: When did this start to happen?
[21:37] <Boohbah_> uffo: that sounds like a bad idea
[21:37] <erUSUL> !install | dottie
[21:37] <KyleK> uffo: haha
[21:37] <wols_> randomguy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper?highlight=(WifiDocs%2FDriver)
[21:37] <pawpaw> sykopomp: sometimes if you are on a switch that is running a spanning -tree calculation it can take a few seconds, or up to over a minute depending on the size of your network when the port comes up.  Different machines act differently about bring interfaces online.
[21:38] <KyleK> uffo: next you'll tell me you run vlc in wine as well
[21:38] <wols_> amikrop: http://gimpel.gi.funpic.de/wiki/index.php?title=Howto:convert_aac/mp4_to_wav/mp3/ogg_on_Linux
[21:38] <ASULutzy> spiritsmoke: Glad to hear it worked out for you!
[21:38] <dannyishere> hey, I got a problem with gnome-settings-daemon. can someone take a look on what the terminal throws out when typing in "gnome-settings-daemon"? I don't get it.
[21:38] <matteo__> ciao
[21:38] <iGama> Hy
[21:38] <wols_> dannyishere: how about YOU tell us what it says for you?
[21:38] <uffo> but where then i can find mplayer ubuntu binary that has all libraries included
[21:38] <dottie> KyleK, nothing, just dont have a CD drive lol
[21:38] <Boohbah_> !it | matteo__
[21:38] <iGama> did the lates nvidia-glx-new-envy update in proposed give problems to anyone?
[21:38] <KyleK> oh
[21:39] <dannyishere> ** (gnome-settings-daemon:6312): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.gnome.SettingsDaemon
[21:39] <dannyishere> ** (gnome-settings-daemon:6312): WARNING **: Could not acquire name
[21:39] <dottie> And erUSUL, nothing there has anything about using ONLY FLOPPYS
[21:39] <KyleK> old laptop?
[21:39] <erUSUL> dottie: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#head-ca8e337bdfab6bfa1d064371898775fe1e9e22fd
[21:39] <pawpaw> sykopomp: so I would let it boot all the way, wait a few minutes and then try ifdown then ifup.   I'm not really into this stuff
[21:40] <KyleK> ah fun stuff
[21:41] <Boohbah_> uffo: why don't you compile it?
[21:41] <noelferreira> where can i find information to connect my Qtek 9100 to ubuntu? i don't need syncrhonization i only need that it recognizes my memory card.
[21:41] <HardDisk> uffo, you were told what to do, please stop repeating when you already have your answers.
[21:41] <KyleK> dottie: got another linux box there? you could try pxe booting the server
[21:41] <uffo> ok i have mplayer .deb file but first thing shows library not satisfied
[21:41] <randomguy> wols_: ok, i installed it... well now what.. btw i was geting it from source forge before
[21:41] <wols_> wlan | randomguy
[21:41] <wols_> randomguy: READ
[21:41] <erUSUL> uffo: install it from repositories
[21:41] <HardDisk> uffo, please read what I wrote above.
[21:41] <wols_> !wlan | randomguy
[21:41] <KyleK> dottie: someones probably linked a page that mentions "nfs root"
[21:42] <wild_osca1> aah...this channel's useless
[21:42] <KyleK> yup
[21:42] <pawpaw> k bye
[21:42] <tonyyarusso> !lirc
[21:42] <tonyyarusso> oh well
[21:42] <erUSUL> wild_osca1: /part
[21:42] <wols_> wild_osca1: your "questions" are even more useless
[21:42] <uffo> i can do it manually because laptop has broken wifi card and no lan
[21:42] <Boohbah_> uffo: why are you trying to use some random mplayer deb?
[21:42] <HardDisk> uffo, I told you if you want a stand alone binary you have to compile it yourself or check the mplayer website, ubuntu will have debs you cant run it standalone, debs are for installing.
[21:42] <wols_> wild_osca1: http://workaround.org/moin/GettingHelpOnIrc
[21:42] <HardDisk> I will not repeat myself again, you choose to ignore me, that's your choice.
[21:43] <DBO> why does gnome-open launch firefox when i feed it a torrent file, yet when i double click it in nautilus i get transmission?
[21:43] <uffo> debs wants libraryes and i cannot use repo and i am not expert to compile anything
[21:43] <HardDisk> uffo, learn.
[21:43] <wols_> uffo: use apt-zip then
[21:43] <ompaul> !components | uffo
[21:44] <wols_> uffo: not having a network connection is no excuse whatsoever: right now you have a network connection
[21:44] <bella> good evening I have a question a bout telinit 1
[21:44] <erUSUL> !ask
[21:44] <HardDisk> No offence uffo but I helped you as much as I can.
[21:45] <Starnestommy> bella: what about it?
[21:45] <paco_> hellou
[21:45] <candan> hi
[21:46] <marcules> hi^^
[21:46] <candan> how can i setup kaffeine-sc-plugin?
[21:46] <bella> telinit 1 can get into it but I can't navigate for instance it will cd desktop but doesnt cd further and give no such file same if I try other folders like file sytem
[21:46] <uffo> but it is my big computer that has net, but i  download them now, it helped to remove depencesies thaks. but last thing how i can force to install some deb with package installer
[21:47] <wols_> uffo: for the LAST time: apt-zip
[21:47] <matt444> help!  my postgresql daemon fails to start at bootup.  HOWEVER, i can start it up manually with no problem.
[21:47] <wols_> matt444: what does the log say?
[21:47] <HardDisk> wols_, I can't tell if he's legit
[21:47] <matt444> wols_:  which!
[21:48] <wols_> matt444: syslog probably
[21:48] <uffo> you mean i write this in console or where - i have only skills to control gui software and desktop
[21:48] <wols_> HardDisk: he's just lazy and wants something on a silver platter. nothing out of the ordinary
[21:48] <wols_> uffo: first you google it to check what it IS and how to use ti
[21:48] <HardDisk> uffo, may I suggest a few books to read?
[21:48] <candan> hey how can i install kaffeine-sc-plugin?
[21:48] <matt444> wols_:  word "postgre" doesn't appear in /var/log/syslog
[21:49] <wols_> matt444: check the times instead
[21:49] <wols_> or follow from kernel bootup
[21:49] <matt444> ?
[21:49] <HardDisk> uffo, anything in life that is new to you, one must learn to research and read.
[21:49] <matt444> i don't know what you mean
[21:49] <HardDisk> uffo, good luck.
[21:50] <mfe> i have an easy question
[21:50] <noelferreira> where can i find information to connect my Qtek 9100 to ubuntu? i don't need syncrhonization i only need that it recognizes my memory card.
[21:51] <randomguy> Starnestommy: Help! this is mnewton... ok i need to install a pci adapter... what should i do
[21:51] <mfe> when you install a .bin file using terminal...how do you uninstall it?
[21:51] <HardDisk> noelferreira, try wammu
[21:51] <uffo> gdebi-gtk should have option to force install, ok i try my other ways to manually copy stuff in system - i use root login so i can delete stuff manually from ubuntu system and add bye
[21:51] <ompaul> uffo, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=50310  that should help
[21:51] <Starnestommy> mfe: it depends on the .bin file
[21:51] <BeBoBli> There seems to be a lot of depth to Linux. Despite this there are people here who are easily able to help some questions that seem extremely hard to even understand for me. I don't like to think I am so 'illiterate' with computers that I wouldn't understand them but it is true. How and where should I educate myself further?
[21:51] <HardDisk> noelferreira, does it have bluetooth?
[21:51] <mfe> real player
[21:51] <noelferreira> HardDisk, thanks i will
[21:51] <Starnestommy> randomguy: what kind of pci adapter?
[21:51] <Boohbah_> BeBoBli: use gentoo
[21:51] <HardDisk> noelferreira, if it has bluetooth check out blueman
[21:51] <mfe> i didn't use sudo
[21:51] <noelferreira> yes but my laptotop don't
[21:51] <randomguy> Starnestommy: netgear wn311b
[21:51] <mfe> if that makes a difference
[21:52] <HardDisk> noelferreira, ah..well get a bluetooth dongle, it will make things much easier
[21:52] <BeBoBli> Boohbah_, I get that answer sometimes. It really does educate you or does it give you a trial and error course?
[21:52] <mfe> only local user
[21:52] <wols_> randomguy: what wlan chip (see lspci)
[21:52] <HardDisk> noelferreira, and it will show up in nautilus
[21:52] <DRebellion> BeBoBli, use linux as much as possible. Read wikipedia. Be curious about everything. Experiment with your system.
[21:52] <HardDisk> noelferreira, I have used a few qteks in my time
[21:52] <randomguy> wols_: it doesnt detect it
[21:52] <matt444> help!  my postgresql daemon fails to start at bootup.  HOWEVER, i can start it up manually with no problem.  What LOG am I supposed to find the problem?
[21:52] <wols_> randomguy: is this a pci or usb device?
[21:52] <HardDisk> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ http://www.howtoforge.com/howtos/linux/ubuntu http://www.ubuntuhq.com/ http://www.ubuntux.org/ http://www.osalt.com/  http://tombuntu.com/ http://www.ubufied.com/ http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com/ http://ubuntuos.com/ http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/
[21:52] <HardDisk> BeBoBli, !ubuntulinks
[21:52] <BeBoBli> I think I will run Gentoo inside vmware
[21:52] <Boohbah_> BeBoBli: it gives you the tools to learn
[21:52] <HardDisk> check out these sites as well
[21:52] <randomguy> wols_: ya it is pci
[21:52] <BeBoBli> Ah good
[21:52] <mfe> starnestommy: did you get all that?
[21:52] <Boohbah_> BeBoBli: VM gentoo is a good idea
[21:53] <wols_> randomguy: the lspci detexts it or you have installed it wrongly.
[21:53] <noelferreira> HardDisk, can i put a internal bluettooth card in my laptop?
[21:53] <HardDisk> noelferreira, if you know how.
[21:53] <BeBoBli> Then I gotta make some space
[21:53] <Starnestommy> mfe: I don't know if that .bin has a method of uninstallation
[21:53] <BeBoBli> I wish to help forward Ubuntu with knowledge so that I may help those that are interested in the OS but do not have such knowledge
[21:53] <mfe> Starnestommy was afraid of that
[21:53] <noelferreira> i think i do :) HardDisk i just don't know wichh one should i buy
[21:53] <wols_> randomguy: pastbein the lspci -n output
[21:53] <HardDisk> BeBoBli, I gave you those sites, check them out and learn :)
[21:54] <BeBoBli> Thanks HardDisk will do
[21:54] <HardDisk> noelferreira, well that's not my concern now, I'm sure you can find out yourself.
[21:54] <randomguy> Starnestommy: I am trying to install the netgear wn311b pci adapter, help me
[21:54] <Starnestommy> randomguy: I don't think that model's listed on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsNetgear so I'm not sure how to get it working or if it can work
[21:54] <noelferreira> HardDisk, lol
[21:54] <ASULutzy> BeBoBli: Just use it for a while and you'll become pretty proficient at most things if you have an inquisitive personality. I've only been using Ubuntu since Gutsy, and I'd say I help out a decent amount in this channel when I can. Practice makes perfect
[21:54] <wols_> randomguy: answer me
[21:54] <mfe> Starnestommy: oh well, it's not like its taking up a whole lot of space...thanks
[21:55] <atb2008> so heres a fun one.... how do i install my atheros 5007 wireless card if i cant access madwifi.org....

[21:56] <HardDisk> BeBoBli, that is my trigger.

[21:59] <jughead> what's the easiest way to fix grub error 21?  Can I use a live CD (like Ubuntu) and just reinstall GRUB without messing with the data on the root and home partitions?
[21:59] <lukehasnoname> Am I only allowed to have one internet connection open at a time? When I plugged in my wired LAN, it killed my wireless
[22:00] <HardDisk> lukehasnoname, obviously.
[22:00] <Lzr> Can anyone tell me why disabling ACPI allowed me to install Ubuntu? Just trying to learn here :) I'd of never of thought of it on my own if I didn't Google it.
[22:00] <HardDisk> !acpi | Lzr
[22:00] <daemon3> Already have libflashsupport installed.
[22:00] <HardDisk> hmm
[22:01] <HardDisk> Lzr, wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/ACPI
[22:01] <bella> ok I want to use telinit to install a driver but for some reason I can navigate through my system
[22:01] <daemon3> Already have libflashsupport installed, HardDisk
[22:01] <lukehasnoname> HardDisk: I didn't know a computer can only be on one network at a time
[22:01] <HardDisk> daemon3, I read you yes, you may want to try flash 10, it is still beta, but pretty stable
[22:01] <jpastore> Hi I need some help with my wireless...I upgraded to 8.04 and lost wireless suppport. so I contacted dell for some help...got someone in the linux dept to rma my wireless card and when I boot from the live cd it works fine...booting back into my normal install no love...please help...I tried installing network manager
[22:01] <killux> hey what do you guys this is the best dock for ubuntu?
[22:02] <HardDisk> lukehasnoname, you can do multiple if you have the right hardware.
[22:02] <Fudged_that_up> can anyone help me remove 'userful multistation' app using shell (mistaken install)
[22:02] <HardDisk> lukehasnoname, atheros chipsets are very unique for example.
[22:02] <randomguy> wols_: are you there?
[22:02] <pzn> when will ubuntu 7 security packages be discontinued? I need to plan an 8.04lts upgrade in the next monts and need to know when 7 will be discontinued...
[22:02] <HardDisk> killux, most people use AWN, personally I don't use docks I use Gnome-Do
[22:02] <HardDisk> !gnome-do
[22:02] <HardDisk> !!
[22:02] <lukehasnoname> well I mean, I have a wired connection and a wireless. Those are separate chips, right? Why can't I be on two nets?
[22:02] <SpookyET> is there a colour aptitude/apt-get/dpkg, etc? I find the output unreadable compared to pacman and ebuild
[22:03] <killux> HardDisk: I tried AWN too, i didn't really like it that much
[22:03] <mnem0> jpastore: you might need to reinstall you kernel modules... try running "sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-ubuntu-modules-`uname -r`
[22:03] <mnem0> "
[22:03] <HardDisk> killux, skip docks and try Gnome-Do
[22:03] <HardDisk> :)
[22:03] <mnem0> jpastore: possible without the "--reinstall" in case you dont even have the package
[22:03] <_Ben> jpastore - i had a wired lan card fail today. I just pulled it out and plugged it into a different pci slot. worked as soon as i strarted up again. can you try that without voiding your pc's warranty?
[22:03] <jpastore> mnem0: k let me try that...does it require a reboot?
[22:03] <mnemo> jpastore: yes
[22:04] <randomguy> wols_: it is requiring me to connect to internet via hardline, not an option... here is what i read; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM43xx_(all,_ndiswrapper/firmware)?highlight=(WifiDocs%2FDevice)
[22:04] <killux> HardDisk: is it just a launcher?
[22:04] <Lzr> HardDisk: Thanks. I'm fairly certain it's enabled in my BIOS, so I'm still a little lost.
[22:04] <jpastore> mnemo k

[22:06] <elektronik123> 1:1 oh no
[22:06] <daemon3> Why does flash 10 beta require so many dependencies?
[22:06] <killux> does it always have that bar in the middle of the screen?
[22:06] <HardDisk> killux, no
[22:06] <daemon3> Many of which I already have?
[22:06] <doddi> randomguy, what version of ubuntu u using?
[22:07] <killux> HardDisk: ok ill try it out
[22:07] <randomguy> doddi: hardy heron
[22:07] <HardDisk> killux, you trigger it with super+space
[22:07] <HardDisk> or any hotkey
[22:07] <HardDisk> ok I'm out, see ya
[22:07] <doddi> i have just put it on my lappy with same wifi and works straight away - but did not work in any previous versions
[22:08] <sensae> I have two drives that are making my BIOS throw a fit when they're both plugged in - The system is fine when only one's plugged in
[22:08] <randomguy> 8-)you whats up
[22:08] <kantor> why is that in newer gnome versions (from 2.16 up) are removed some mime, icon types, like the C, python, C++ source icons, or html , torrent icons ? (they are displayed like plain text files)
[22:09] <randomguy> !shouy
[22:09] <randomguy> !shout
[22:09] <Fudged_that_up> can anyone help me remove 'userful multistation' app using shell (mistaken install)
[22:09] <randomguy> !wlan

[22:09] <Fudged_that_up> hi
[22:09] <laughtear> d
[22:10] <jpastore> mnemo, is there any reason I should use apt-get vs synaptic?
[22:10] <doddi> randomguy, previously i had to mess about with ndiswrapper but it was a long time ago - no more info sorry
[22:10] <mnemo> jpastore: nah any of them is fine
[22:10] <tremby> can anyone think of a way to have something follow the cursor around? reason i ask is that i'm playing a game in wine and the pointer isn't visible.
[22:10] <randomguy> Any expertise on getting the windows drivers to work on ubuntu hardy for the pci adapter from netgear wn311b
[22:11] <wols_> randomguy: you currently ARE connected to the internet and can get ANYTHING you need
[22:11] <jpastore> mnemo...I removed some older versions and reinstalled the one you told me to..rebooted and not my video is borked
[22:11] <teethdood> how do I move a window whose top portion cannot be grabbed?
[22:12] <teethdood> it used to be holding down Alt to grab any area of window, then move mouse
[22:12] <doddi> teethdood, alt+space
[22:12] <wheeler> i need help with making the b43-fwcutter
[22:12] <wheeler> i do the make command and i get a shitload of errors
[22:13] <doddi> teethdood, better is alt+f7
[22:13] <teethdood> doddi: it doesn't do it. Alt+space just presents me with a menu
[22:13] <bay199> hiiii
[22:13] <bay199> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[22:13] <bay199> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[22:13] <doddi> teethdood, in the menu use the cursor to choose move
[22:13] <jpastore> mnemo, so now I have networking but my video got screwed up and I'm stuck at 800x600
[22:13] <doddi> teethdood, then arrow keys to move window
[22:13] <jpastore> mnemo how did that happen?
[22:14] <randomguy> wols_: I dont know what to download. sry i am a noob... I cant see any pripartory update and i know i have a generic kernal, i cant install the updates that i dont know i need?
[22:14] <joaopinto> bay199, open a terminal and run: sudo dpkg --configure -a
[22:14] <teethdood> doddi: thanks that worked, for other windows. My FF windows is just messed up I guess
[22:14] <sensae> Two drives not liking each other? Any hint?
[22:14] <Uplink> any GOOD DVD player?
[22:14] <IndyGunFreak> Uplink: i like VLC

[22:14] <wols_> randomguy: by READING
[22:14] <ubunubi> Hi all!
[22:14] <Fudged_that_up> how do i use aptitude in shell to remove package?
[22:14] <Uplink> they both dont work for me
[22:14] <wols_> Fudged_that_up: man aptitude
[22:14] <tore> aptitude remove package
[22:15] <SpookyET> Why does apt suggest x86_64 packages for the kernel when I'm on i386?
[22:15] <joaopinto> Fudged_that_up, man aptitude
[22:15] <chamuscas> can somebody indicate me a good iso reader please ?
[22:15] <Fudged_that_up> how do I know the name of the package?
[22:15] <sidewalk> howdy
[22:15] <IndyGunFreak> Uplink: why do they not work?.. VLC is probably the most popular and works fine
[22:15] <wols_> !dvd | Uplink
[22:15] <Fudged_that_up> ta
[22:15] <Uplink> Fudged_that_up, how do u know what your going to remove?
[22:15] <randomguy> wols_: what do read??? WHAT? and WHERE? Am i even reading what you are??? Are we on the same page
[22:15] <joaopinto> chamuscas, linux can natively access to isos
[22:15] <djouallah> sorry guy, is it norma that from yesterday my torrent are no more updated, i am stucking at 90 %
[22:15] <joaopinto> !iso | chamuscas
[22:15] <wols_> randomguy: for the fscking THIRD time:
[22:15] <wols_> !wlan | randomguy
[22:15] <Fudged_that_up> i screwed up my lappy with userful multiverse and now in recovery
[22:16] <daemon3> When I try to install flash, it asks for the installation path of firefox or opera.  Where would firefox be? /usr/lib/mozilla?  That doesn't work.
[22:16] <Fudged_that_up> I feel if i remove it it will solve my problems
[22:16] <chamuscas> joaopinto, tks
[22:16] <chamuscas> ubottu, tks
[22:16] <ubunubi> [Question] Is there a way for me to see the X,Y position of my cursor easily?
[22:16] <sidewalk> i tried printing a PDF in cups, with Staroffice...
[22:16] <IndyGunFreak> Fudged_that_up: remove what?
[22:16] <Fudged_that_up> userfuls multiverse
[22:16] <ubunubi> I need X,Y coords to setup window placement in compuz
[22:16] <teethdood> my FF3 is hosed :( cannot grab the top bar
[22:16] <mnemo> jpastore: maybe you could try reinstalling the kernel with "sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-generic"
[22:16] <sidewalk> i printed 4 1mb images, and they became 39mb together
[22:17] <wols_> teethdood: is there a top bar at all? is a window manager running?
[22:17] <ubunubi> Teethdood: alt+left click the window and drag it down
[22:17] <doddi> teethdood, FF3?
[22:17] <sidewalk> what did i do wrong? how could 4 1mb images become 39mb?
[22:17] <joaopinto> sidewalk, the output print size is dependent on the output format, not on the input images
[22:17] <wols_> sidewalk: nothing. compression
[22:17] <zcat[1]> Interesting thought.. if I move /etc/rcS.d/checkroot.sh to /etc/rc0.d/S65checkroot.sh, can I make the routine fsck every twenty reboots happen when I shut down (and don't care about waiting), rather than when I boot up?
[22:17] <joaopinto> i mean, not only
[22:17] <teethdood> everything else works as normal. so a window manager (compiz+emerald) is running
[22:17] <syntaxblack> allo evreh bodeh............... any VJ's here?
[22:17] <teethdood> everything except FF3
[22:17] <sidewalk> so how do i compress it?
[22:18] <wheeler> anyone know why i can't be able to make b43-fwcutter-011 ?
[22:18] <wols_> sidewalk: you don't. in the pdf it is. and output res is also having an effect
[22:18] <wheeler> it just give shitload of errors
[22:18] <Miesco> Okay im trying to get pulseaudio to run and I get: E: alsa-util.c: Error opening PCM device hw:0: Device or resource busy
 this givin me 5 chois

[22:18] <Miesco> But nothing is using the sound card
[22:18] <Fudged_that_up> thinks I have solved it
[22:18] <doddi> wheeler, what is the error?
[22:18] <wheeler> there's hundreds of htem..
[22:18] <wols_> Miesco: something else already has it open
[22:18] <sidewalk> wols: whaddya mean?
[22:18] <wheeler> it spamms the screen..
[22:19] <teethdood> I think I'm going to wipe my homedir's mozilla directory and let it reset, see what happens
[22:19] <ubunubi> Anyone know of an application/plugin that will display my mouses x,y coordinates next to my cursor?
[22:19] <RAdams> How can I find out what kind of touchpad this laptop has? I think it's an ALPS

[22:29] <snm> hi all. after playing aroound with fglrx-control, X crashed so badly, that a cold reboot was needed. since then after logging in, X crashes after around 10 seconds. i removed the fglrx-control package, but it didn't help. i even created a new xorg.conf file from scratch, but it didn't help neither.
[22:29] <doddi> chamuscas, remember everything is case sensitive in linux too
[22:30] <IndyGunFreak> doddi: good catch, i forgot to mention that
[22:30] <snm> is there another place, that could have been changed configuration?
[22:30] <chamuscas> IndyGunFreak, tanks a lot
[22:30] <chamuscas> doddi, also tank you
[22:30] <Uplink> i installed the libdvdcss2 and my DVD still isnt able to play
[22:30] <IndyGunFreak> yup, cd ~/Desktop, is not the same as cd ~/desktop
[22:30] <linuxkrn> hey all, using ldap directory for accounts, and for some reason all the gnome menus are missing things like "Add/Remove...", and under admin the Package Sources... Also when I try to select them via Main menu, the get deselected right after I click them.
[22:30] <IndyGunFreak> Uplink: what player are you trying to use?
[22:30] <Miesco> How do I find out whats using my soundcard?
[22:30] <Uplink> IndyGunFreak, movieplayer
[22:31] <IndyGunFreak> try vlc...
[22:31] <Uplink> roger
[22:31] <linkmaster03> How do I access my webcam settings and change the contrast, brightness, hue etc? I changed them somehow, and I can't change them back.
[22:31] <chamuscas> doddi, so just tell me one more thing, what difference does the quotes do
[22:31] <Uplink> IndyGunFreak, but the problem is that when i close the DVD tray of my dvd and the PC reads it movieplayer comes up :/
[22:31] <IndyGunFreak> chamuscas: if the path has spaces, you must use quotes.
[22:31] <doddi> quotes are used if a filename or directory has a space in it
[22:31] <IndyGunFreak> Uplink: well, close it then open VLC
[22:32] <chamuscas> IndyGunFreak, loooool tank you a lot
[22:32] <chamuscas> doddi, tank you very much
[22:32] <Uplink> OMG!!!! my pc is glitching all over the place
[22:33] <gatorade_fish> w00t!
[22:33] <Uplink> I just start playing the DVD and i start lagging and glitching all over the place including the movie... skipps so bad
[22:33] <linkmaster03> stop playing the DVD
[22:33] <gatorade_fish> what program are you using to play it?
[22:34] <Uplink> VLC
[22:34] <gatorade_fish> vlc does that sometimes
[22:34] <gatorade_fish> I use kaffeine
[22:34] <gatorade_fish> or gxine
[22:34] <Uplink> u kidding me? this is bs
[22:34] <Uplink> gxine? ok i'll try that
[22:34] <pwnt> as far as I know, VLC is one of the best, interesting...
[22:34] <pwnt> I bet it wasn't the vlc that causes that problem
[22:34] <Uplink> !gxine
[22:34] <gatorade_fish> vlc does it more if I have boinc running
[22:34] <Uplink> pwnt, it doesnt do that when i play music
[22:35] <pwnt> try another DVD? Maybe yours is badly injured or smthng. (Not sure)
[22:35] <doddi> vlc even handles hd - or so i thought
[22:35] <Uplink> pwnt, its new
[22:35] <pwnt> Uplink: you never know, even if its new.
[22:35] <Uplink> pwnt, plays perfect on my DVD player on the tv
[22:35] <pwnt> try as I suggested, try another dvd. if it still lags and glitch, then it's either vlc or your hardware setup.
[22:35] <gatorade_fish> I don't play physical DVDs. just ISOs
[22:36] <randomguy> Help with busy box... what do i doi?
[22:36] <mortal1> i use mplayer, vlc's playback controls are odd to me
[22:36] <Miesco> Is it possible to get rid of pulseaudio?
[22:36] <melophobic> hi
[22:36]  * gatorade_fish has always liked xine
[22:37] <iGama> Miesco,
[22:37] <IndyGunFreak> mortal1: really?.. i find VLC way way better than mplayer.. thank goodness for chioce
[22:37] <iGama> you can change your audio definios to use ALsa
[22:37] <iGama> System - Preferences - Sound , and choose alsa in all options
[22:38] <Uplink> gxine sucks
[22:38] <IndyGunFreak> Uplink: what version fo ubuntu are you using?
[22:38] <sakarben> Enter text here...turkce  bilen  yokmu
[22:38] <gatorade_fish> use xine-ui then
[22:38] <Uplink> IndyGunFreak, hardy
[22:38] <gatorade_fish> or kaffeine
[22:38] <IndyGunFreak> hmm.. and it skips that badly?
[22:38] <linkmaster03> stop playing the DVD
[22:38] <linkmaster03> How do I access my webcam settings and change the contrast, brightness, hue etc? I changed them somehow, and I can't change them back.
[22:39] <melophobic> i guys can anyone help in one thing?
[22:39] <IndyGunFreak> linkmaster03: that has been asked and answered...
[22:39] <linkmaster03> indy it hasnt been answered
[22:39] <IndyGunFreak> !webcam | linkmaster03 this is going to take a lot of work on your part, webcam support is very shaky
[22:39] <gatorade_fish> !webcam
[22:39] <mortal1> Indy, I just have trouble with the fast forward and back stuff.  Vlc's increments are wierd
[22:39] <netangel> Can someone help me with dmraid which don't manage to map my RAID 1 drives ? ( device-mapper: table: 254:0: mirror: Device lookup failure)
[22:39] <Starnestommy> melophobic: what do you need help with?
[22:39] <linuxkrn> does anyone know why with ldap users many of the "admin" functions are removed from the menus?  And how can I get them back?
[22:39] <linkmaster03> well i changed it somehow through some program
[22:39] <Uplink> lol
[22:39] <IndyGunFreak> mortal1: i guess... i've not had issues w/ VLC on any distro..
[22:40] <gatorade_fish> You could always compile vlc from source
[22:40] <Uplink> ...
[22:40] <melophobic> is it possible to share internet connection with a wireless pci smc 2802w v2?
[22:40] <IndyGunFreak> gatorade_fish: that won't fix his problem.
[22:40] <melophobic> :s
[22:40] <gatorade_fish> :(
[22:40] <Uplink> how can i boot windows without shutting off ubuntu?
[22:40] <wols_> melophobic: sure it is
[22:40] <IndyGunFreak> Uplink: buy another computer?
[22:40] <melophobic> ohhh cool
[22:40] <gatorade_fish> vmware
[22:41] <Uplink> IndyGunFreak, i cant from the same PC?
[22:41] <wols_> Uplink: a VM. but why'd you want to?
[22:41] <IndyGunFreak> Uplink: you'll have to install vmware...
[22:41] <melophobic> i alredy installed the ndiwrapper
[22:41] <Uplink> because windows can PLAY a freaking DVD with NO freaking problem
[22:41] <IndyGunFreak> but i've had mixed experiences w/ it..
[22:41] <wols_> Uplink: and you can't load the windows which is currently already on your disk if there is one. must be a new install
[22:41] <IndyGunFreak> so  good luck w/ that.
[22:41] <joaopinto> !language | Uplink
[22:41] <IndyGunFreak> Uplink: i don't know what to tell you, i watch DVD's all the time, w/o issue.
[22:41] <wols_> Uplink: that's what you think
[22:41] <gatorade_fish> I use vlc to play DVDs on windows
[22:42] <Uplink> no, i dont think... its the fact that ubuntu cant play MY dvd's
[22:42] <johnnypea> hello , I have all the texts in Firefox so small, how can I enlarge them ? (exclude zooming)
[22:42] <IndyGunFreak> gatorade_fish: i boot windows about 2-3x a month.. but I have VLC on my windos partition also.
[22:42] <wols_> melophobic: your ubuntu is already connected to the internet?
[22:42] <melophobic> yes via eth0
[22:42] <IndyGunFreak> Uplink: i suspect there's a user malfunction involved if you must know.
[22:42] <johnnypea> and actually in all the apps
[22:42] <Uplink> IndyGunFreak, then it sucks
[22:42] <gatorade_fish> I use windows only for the games I can't run under wine
[22:42] <IndyGunFreak> Uplink: ok, then go back to windows..
[22:42] <wols_> melophobic: the other PC does it already have a connection to your ubuntu box somehow? if not make one
[22:43] <johnnypea> !eth0
[22:43] <johnnypea> !etho
[22:43] <joaopinto> johnnypea, you can set your fonts to larget sizes, check the firefox preferences dialog
[22:43] <Uplink> lol
[22:43] <wols_> melophobic: then all you need is ipmasq. and dnsmasq can be helpful too
[22:43] <melophobic> yes but via ethernet i wanted via wlan
[22:43] <wols_> melophobic: then make one
[22:43] <melophobic> ok
[22:43] <Uplink> btw, why does my matrix screensaver glitches? like if it reloads the frames every movement...
[22:44] <melophobic> im using firestarter
[22:44] <IndyGunFreak> Uplink: your problem doesn't hold much weight with me, i've setup dvd support on numerous ubuntu boxes.. this makes me believe the screw up, is the guy pounding on the keys, not the OS.
[22:44] <melophobic> is that helpfull?
[22:44] <wols_> melophobic: what for?
[22:44] <melophobic> lol
[22:44] <mnewton> Starnestommy: Do you know about the busybox
[22:44] <wols_> melophobic: what do you use firestarter for?
[22:44] <melophobic> for sharing internet
[22:44] <gatorade_fish> Uplink, ... do you have desktop effects enabled?
[22:44] <melophobic> and to connect as well
[22:44] <wols_> melophobic: unneeded but your choice
[22:44] <johnnypea> joaopinto: that settings does not apply for the text in Firefox, I want to enlarge the text in all the apps
[22:44] <Uplink> gatorade_fish, i even have compiz and emerald
[22:44] <melophobic> ok
[22:44] <gatorade_fish> turn them off
[22:44] <gatorade_fish> that may fix it
[22:44] <Starnestommy> mnewton: busybox normally only loads up if something has changed in the system to cause it to be unable to load
[22:44] <wols_> !ask | mnewton
[22:44] <Uplink> gatorade_fish, nah... it did it even before i had those installed
[22:45] <gatorade_fish> :(
[22:45] <Uplink> :(
[22:45] <Odd-rationale> firestarter provides an easy way to set up a nat network... i like that :)
[22:45] <gatorade_fish> :( some more
[22:45] <Uplink> lol :((
[22:45] <Uplink> like if i was looking at the screen and blinking a lot
[22:46] <gatorade_fish> odd
[22:46] <Uplink> it doesnt lagg or glitch... just blinks a lot

[23:07] <wols_> someotherrandomg: somehow you broke your kernel most likely

[23:07] <Jack_Sparrow> someotherrandomg I am trying to eat lunch.. but tell the channel , what hardware you have and how you tried to install the driver on which release of ubuntu

[23:09] <Tal_Ormanda> If I am to uninstall Ubuntu 8 and fix the MBR for windows how can I get windows to pick up the other hard drive that ubuntu is on ?
[23:10] <wols_> was for jpastore
[23:10] <wols_> jpastore: don't load a DM. probably /etc/rc2.d/S99gdm
[23:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Tal_Ormanda If you uninstall it.. how can windows see it
[23:10] <wols_> Tal_Ormanda: pick it up for what?
[23:10] <madmn> could i use putty shh to get into the box from my laptop
[23:11] <Tal_Ormanda> Once I restore the MBR for windows the grub wont appear anymore. and I want windows to pick up the harddrive ubuntu is on so I can format it
[23:11] <JoshGr> hi all, im having some problems with network manager/nm-applet.  seemingly at random (ive noticed it tends to happen when i open my laptop after it was closed), it will change to "network disabled" and disconnect me from the internet.  if i right click and "enable networking", nothing changes except that the next time i look at it it is checked
[23:11] <jpastore> wols_ thanks let me see what I can find
[23:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Tal_Ormanda This has nothing to do with ubuntu. use a formatting / partitioning program in windows to do it
[23:12] <wols_> Tal_Ormanda: it already is pikcing it up. just use fdisk to create a partition or whatever windows uses for paritioning. this is not a ubuntu question
[23:12] <JoshGr> the only way to solve it has been ro fully reboot
[23:12] <lazyPower> I rebooted and lost my USB Mouse. My touchpad still works. I'm going to assume its due to a lack of a device entry in my xorg.conf file.  My touchpad still works.

[23:38] <Jack_Sparrow> gkelly which one for example
[23:38] <wols_> gkelly: apt-cache policy
[23:38] <ActionParsnip> woo: follow that page i pasted
[23:39] <gkelly> sudo apt-get install python-django
[23:39] <woo> ok, ta
[23:39] <wols_> NullNam1: chmod it to 750 or 755 again
[23:39] <Zeker> hello everybody, I have a brand-spankin new machine that I just installed ubuntu on (fresh install, no other OS'es in there).  I want to install XP as a secondary OS, but I know that it will not play nice with GRUB.  How can I install it without screwing up grub?
[23:39] <Jack_Sparrow> !info python-django
[23:39] <NullNam1> THanks wols_:
[23:39] <wols_> Zeker: can't. it always will screw up grub
[23:39] <wols_> !grub | Zeker
[23:40] <Jack_Sparrow> Zeker It will always mess with grub.. after all it is windows
[23:40] <ActionParsnip> Zeker: id reinstall xp and leave some free space, grub will sort itself out
[23:40] <ZeeStorm> it's not hard to put grub back on after windows is done installing
[23:40] <ActionParsnip> Zeker: if you arent up for that, install windows, then you'l have to reinstall grub again from live cd
[23:40] <ActionParsnip> !grub | ZeeStorm
[23:40] <ZeeStorm> :)
[23:41] <gkelly> Found it: sudo apt-cache showpkg python-django
[23:41] <Zeker> zeestorm, I had a hell of a time doing it last time, I acually had to use some supergrub floppy util and it didn't turn out exactly how I like it.  How do I restore grub like that?
[23:41] <ZeeStorm> check the link that ubottu shows
[23:41] <Jack_Sparrow> gkelly You also saw that you can do it in here right.
[23:41] <sofiankrt> nickrud: hey. sorry I left so abruptly that day. i actually killed all my processes!
[23:41] <ZeeStorm> you should be able to use a ubuntu disc live to reinstall it
[23:41] <gkelly> Jack_Sparrow : yup, thanks
[23:42] <Jack_Sparrow> np...
[23:42] <koshari> i agree with zeestorm
[23:42] <ZeeStorm> then you have to alter your grub config to have the windows partition.. but i'm sure that page ubottu shows has it all documented
[23:42] <chamuscas__> does anyone know a a good game to play in ubuntu ?
[23:43] <ezzieyguywuf> so besides the helpful packages that are included, whats the main difference between ubuntu and ubuntu studio?
[23:43] <mrec__> chamuscas__: typespeed, tetris maybe tuxracer :-)
[23:43] <ActionParsnip> ZeeStorm: if you install windows first, the chainloader entry will be added for you :)
[23:43] <NullNam1> chamuscas_: I like playing N64 games with an emulator.
[23:43] <Rabbitbunny> chamuscas__: xmoto
[23:43] <koshari> http://www.techtalkwiki.net/restore_grub_on_linux
[23:43] <jpastore> chamuscas_ crossover jus release a gaming edition of their system to allow you to play windows game under ubuntu
[23:43] <chamuscas__> mrec, i was asking something more ... interesting :p
[23:44] <chamuscas__> Rabbit tbunny, tanks for the tip
[23:44] <ZeeStorm> ActionParsnip: right, but the guy said he had linux already installed, but wanted windows to install windows side-by-side :)
[23:44] <ZeeStorm> durr
[23:44] <|thunder> jpastore; is it supposed to work better than regular croswsover ?
[23:44] <ZeeStorm> bad wording
[23:44] <Zeker> so how do I restore grub with the live cd?
[23:44] <Jack_Sparrow> !grub
[23:44] <ActionParsnip> http://mupen64.emulation64.com/down.htm = n64 emulator
[23:44] <chamuscas__> Rabbitbunny, do you know a online game?
[23:45] <ZeeStorm> Zeker: the url that ubottu just said
[23:45] <Zeker> yeah I'm reading it now
[23:45] <ActionParsnip> ZeeStorm: yeah, just telling you how its easier to do it the other way round, but reinstalling grub isnt too hard
[23:45] <Zeker> actually, another question.  anybody tried playing games on ubuntu using wine?
[23:45] <Jack_Sparrow> !appgb > Zeker
[23:45] <Jack_Sparrow> !appdb > Zeker
[23:45] <ActionParsnip> Zeker: very few
[23:46] <Jack_Sparrow> !games
[23:46] <ActionParsnip> Zeker: some new games run natively
[23:46] <Zeker> yeah I tried freedom fighters yesterday just for kicks.  It has a few glitches and no sound during gameplay, but it actually works.
[23:46] <Zeker> using wine though.
[23:47] <ZeeStorm> wow, it supports all of steam.. thats pretty sweet, lol
[23:47] <zaputr_> How can i restart mouse driver?
[23:48] <Zeker> I want to buy the organge box, the one that comes with portal, and try it on my new machine.    Is the file leaked?  Is it marked as to-be-freed-on-reboot? ...?
[23:48] <hisingh1> hi
[23:48] <koshari> zaputr_ sorry, sudo rmmod mousedriver, then sudo modprobe mousedriver
[23:49] <koshari> where mousedriver is the module name of oyur maouse driver
[23:49] <Jack_Sparrow> zaputr_ sudo modprobe -r psmouse ; sudo modprobe psmouse
[23:49] <Zeker> what about VM windows on ubuntu, anybody tried that?  would that run games?
[23:50] <ZeeStorm> vm windows on ubuntu? like vmplayer?
[23:50] <NullNam1> Zeker:  THere are a lot of games that have linux versions
[23:50] <Zeker> no, windows as a virtual machine
[23:50] <ActionParsnip> Zeker: not used vmware for games, I play open source games when i do
[23:50] <wastedfluid> there's a special version of WINE for gaming
[23:50] <AnonEMouse> Hello
[23:50] <ZeeStorm> vmware doesn't support graphics hardware accelebration
[23:50] <pukeko> can i install ubuntu on a sparcstation 5 ?
[23:50] <ZeeStorm> acceleration*
[23:50] <NullNam1> Try buying or downloading games that support linux (quake 3, gmes like that)
[23:50] <AnonEMouse> How do you copy permissions from one directory to another directory?
[23:50] <Zeker> awww... i want portal for ubuntu :(
[23:50] <ActionParsnip> ZeeStorm: id dual boot for games
[23:51] <Starnestommy> Zeker: I don't think any VMs have 3D acceletation
[23:51] <ezzieyguywuf> anonemose: you can change permissions with sudo chmod
[23:51] <Pici> How would I go about having aptitude install suggested packages? aptitude install --with-suggests --verbose package  doesnt seem to work
[23:51] <Starnestommy> Zeker: although wine can run some window programs without needing windows installed ina  vm
[23:51] <AnonEMouse> right
[23:51] <ZeeStorm> Zeker: steam works well on WINE (from the website listed above).. but portal and the like I'm not sure from orange box.. i'd def dual boot
[23:51] <Starnestommy> Zeker: *windows
[23:51] <Zeker> starnestommy, my friend has no problem playing windows games on his mac using parallels...
[23:51] <ActionParsnip> Zeker: you coulkd try cedega
[23:51] <AnonEMouse> But, I can't remember all of the number sequences all of the time.
[23:51] <ActionParsnip> !cedega | Zeker
[23:51] <AnonEMouse> So I have a directory that has the permission set I want
[23:51] <wastedfluid> ZeeStorm, There's a special version of WINE for games, called cedega.
[23:52] <wastedfluid> And you actually get comparable frame rates.
[23:52] <Zeker> hmm.
[23:52] <Jack_Sparrow> Pici It was my understanding the default for aptitude was to include them.. we had that discussion yesterday in ops
[23:52] <AnonEMouse> Is there a way to say "Take the permissions that this directory has and give it to that directory too?"
[23:52] <ZeeStorm> wastedfluid: didn't cedega used to be shareware/closed ?
[23:52] <Pici> Jack_Sparrow: It includes recommended packages by default, but not suggested
[23:52] <J1> hey guys i need some help with dvd stuff
[23:52] <ezzieyguywuf> you could copy the directy and rename it
[23:52] <J1> how do i play a DVD from a folder?
[23:52] <jonaskoelker> AnonEMouse: you could probably do something with `find -exec chmod ...'
[23:52] <wastedfluid> ZeeStorm, Well, you do have to pay for it I believe.  $5.
[23:52] <koshari> given cedega is a commercial app why wouldnt you just aquire a cheap windows licence?
[23:52] <Jack_Sparrow> Pici ah.. got it.. sorry..didnt read carefully
[23:52] <Rabbitbunny> AnonEMouse: iirc, chmod has a recursive switch.
[23:52] <ezzieyguywuf> cp [locations of orig directory] [location of new directory with new name]
[23:52] <wastedfluid> I think it's $5.. but $5 for macho unmatched linux gaming support?? hmmm
[23:52] <ZeeStorm> wastedfluid: dual boot for the win :)
[23:53] <wastedfluid> LOL @ Ze.
[23:53] <wastedfluid> Okay man :P
[23:53] <J1> how do i play a dvd out of a video_ts folder copied to the HD?
[23:53] <koshari> J1 vlc
[23:53] <ActionParsnip> koshari: i think you can pay very little to just get the app and not the subscription for support
[23:53] <AnonEMouse> I will give that  a try, thanks
[23:53] <jonaskoelker> AnonEMouse: exactly what is it you want to do? do you want to be recursive? do you want to also affect contained files?
[23:53] <ZeeStorm> wastedfluid: i don't leave my computer on all the time, so i boot up every time i get on.. and if i'm wanting to play games, it wouldn't be a bother to switch to windows
[23:54] <ezzieyguywuf> does anyone know what the difference is between ubuntu and ubuntu studio, other than the preinstalled apps
[23:54] <J1> koshari - but it only opens one file, not the whole dvd with menus and well.. the whole movie
[23:54] <Zeker> is there a version of windows (besides crappy vista) that takes advantage of 64bit systems?
[23:54] <J1> koshari - nvm i just figured it out lol
[23:54] <koshari> J1 dont opwn the vob open the other file
[23:54] <ActionParsnip> Zeker: xp 64bit, server 2003 64
[23:54] <J1> koshari - i jsut dragged the whole folder into vlc ^_^
[23:54] <darthmarth37> What arguments does one usually hand an Ubuntu kernel in the grub config file?
[23:54] <wastedfluid> VISTA 64 bit is not bad.   I have ran it for a week now.. granted I'm fully going back to linux - it's not that bad
[23:55] <ActionParsnip> wastedfluid: i found it a bit sluggish
[23:55] <keir> I was wondering if anyone could help my diagnose what is wrong with DBus on my machine?
[23:55] <talntid> i found it not sluggish at all
[23:55] <tobiastrundle> Can anybody reccomend a good irssi theme?
[23:55] <talntid> but I run 4gb ram, and a quad core
[23:55] <wastedfluid> Wow.  really?  I boot Vista in 4 seconds flat.. I find it extremely quick.
[23:55] <jabagawee> the heck?!
[23:55] <wastedfluid> I'm dual core, 4gb of ram
[23:55] <jabagawee> 4 sec flat?
[23:55] <darthmarth37> Seconds?
[23:55] <jabagawee> ...
[23:55] <wastedfluid> yep. 64 bit, amd 5400.. nothing special, I boot vista.. 64 bit, 4 seconds flat.  maybe 5.
[23:55] <darthmarth37> That's for resuming from sleep, right?
[23:56] <talntid> i doubt 4 seconds, but i'm sure it's not too flow
[23:56] <talntid> slow i mean
[23:56] <wastedfluid> No.  NOT from suspend.
[23:56] <jabagawee> i really doubt 4 sec
[23:56] <ezzieyguywuf> took me minutes to login to windows xp
[23:56] <mads-> Hi. My keyboard is acting strange. I need to press and hold "i" for 3 seconds before an "i" is typed - what is this and how do I change it?
[23:56] <jabagawee> including bios?
[23:56] <talntid> i have a q6600 @ 4ghz on water, with 4gb ram overclocked...
[23:56] <wastedfluid> No.. after posting.
[23:56] <ezzieyguywuf> i got a dual core as well. 2.17 ghz or w/e
[23:56] <wastedfluid> BIOS takes 2 seconds itself to run tests, etc.. after i see the boot loader, it is 4 second
[23:56] <wastedfluid> s*
[23:56] <xTheGoat121x> To boot into Vista in 4 seconds flat, whoever is using it isn't actually shutting it down.
[23:56] <jabagawee> yea...
[23:57] <jabagawee> 4 sec to a login prompt?
[23:57] <wastedfluid> OK.  I don't know what kind of hardware you have.  Literally, I have nothing special.
[23:57] <jabagawee> cuz it still has to load after you log in
[23:57] <ActionParsnip> wastedfluid: im on an AM2 Semp 3000, 1Gb DDR2, Onboard nvidia gfx, Vista score of 3.0
[23:57] <wastedfluid> my vista score is 5.4...
[23:57] <sensouci> hello is there any one who could help me to get a correct jack configuration for rosegarden ?
[23:57] <ActionParsnip> wastedfluid: fluxbuntu runs much slicker for me
[23:57] <talntid> yeah, i get a 5.9 score, and I don't get into vista in 4
[23:57] <talntid> probably closer to 6-7
[23:57] <wastedfluid> 6-7 after bios posts?
[23:57] <wastedfluid> or before?
[23:57] <wastedfluid> If you add in BIOS testing, It's an easy 6.. perhaps 7.\
[23:58] <talntid> after bios
[23:58] <wastedfluid> What kind of hds do you run?
[23:58] <ActionParsnip> wastedfluid: plus im only using 288Mb RAM and 1.5Gb of /
[23:58] <darthmarth37> Ummm... what kind of HDs are those?
[23:58] <talntid> 4 raptor 150gb's in raid 0
[23:58] <koshari> how do i add a panel in kde4?
[23:58] <ActionParsnip> wastedfluid: which is massively less than vista
[23:58] <wastedfluid> makes no sense.
[23:58] <sensouci> hello is there any one who could help me to get a correct jack configuration for rosegarden ?
[23:58] <talntid> u should take video, wastedfluid :)
[23:58] <wastedfluid> ActionParsnip,  no doubt brother.  I'm going back to linux.. ubuntu on the laptop, opensuse on this
[23:59] <darthmarth37> I'd like to see Vista come up in four seconds.  Post something.
[23:59] <jabagawee> yea, me too
[23:59] <wastedfluid> Sure thing.  I'll record BIOS postings too.
[23:59] <darthmarth37> Awesome.
[23:59] <Infinito_> I wouldn't even like to see vista
[23:59] <jabagawee> yay! :D
[23:59] <darthmarth37> Anyhoo, back to Ubuntu...
[23:59] <koshari> darthmarth37 you will never see any version of windows boot in under 10 secs w\ithout an efi bios
[23:59] <ActionParsnip> wastedfluid: a 6Gb install for essentally XP with a pretty gui and UAC. I cant forgive it
[23:59] <jabagawee> Infinito_: then dont watch it
[23:59] <Infinito_> I would like to see microsoft sinking for good
[23:59] <Infinito_> :p
[23:59] <wastedfluid> brb
