[11:23] <pielgrzym> hello fellow Ubuntu-ers :)
[11:23] <pielgrzym> I'm using Kubuntu
[11:23] <pielgrzym> and have a small question regarding repositories
[11:23] <nothlit> theres #kubuntu btw
[11:23] <pielgrzym> is there any difference to use offical edgy-updates repo
[11:24] <pielgrzym> and in use of polish edgy repo?
[11:24] <rausb0> !enter | pielgrzym
[11:24] <ubotu> pielgrzym: Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[11:24] <nothlit> you mean security.ubuntu.com?
[11:24] <pielgrzym> archive.ubuntu.com
[11:24] <pielgrzym> and pl.archive.ubuntu.com :)
[11:24] <nothlit> Your local mirror may be faster
[11:25] <mtyhome> hi
[11:25] <pielgrzym> I had problems with update from pl. one, so changed it to international and suddenly I can upgrade half of kde ;)
[11:25] <nothlit> but might not be as up to date
[11:25] <pielgrzym> well, it's not faster, so I'd better use the international one, right?
[11:25] <nothlit> LC_ALL=C sudo aptitude update ?
[11:26] <tonyyarusso> !hi | mtyhome
[11:26] <ubotu> mtyhome: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[11:26] <mtyhome> how long is the default timeout for ssh -f tunnel sessions?
[11:30] <hc> hi everyone. can i send a message from my machine over the network to another machine
[11:30] <huibert> hc: you are doing this right now :-)
[11:30] <hc> i meant using the terminal
[11:31] <huibert> hc: do you mean like irc in an xterm?
[11:31] <hc> like Windows NT used the netsend command, does Ubuntu have something similar
[11:31] <huibert> hc: are more like email?
[11:31] <huibert> *or
[11:32] <cherubiel> hc: man smbclient
[11:32] <huibert> hc: there is an netsend package, wich will let you send windows like popups with samba
[11:32] <rausb0> hc: smbclient -M ...
[11:32] <ph8> how do i check the mail for my local user on a vanilla ubuntu system?
[11:32] <ph8> back in the day on my RH systems i used 'mail' but it doesn't exist - is there a default or do i need to install mail?
[11:32] <hc> thx guys
[11:34] <tonyyarusso> ph8: you can install it
[11:35] <ph8> cheers tony
[11:35] <hc> How do i use the smbclient command with -M
[11:36] <rausb0> hc: read the manpage
[11:36] <Raven> how can I administer the firewall in Ubuntu via a gui
[11:37] <lowell> firestarter has a gui
[11:37] <tonyyarusso> Raven: Firestarter is a nice simple firewall GUI
[11:37] <Raven> cheers lads
[11:37] <tomix> has anyone tried to upgrade xvncviewer?
[11:38] <lowell> from/to ?
[11:38] <tomix> the viewer is at 3.3 i need 3.889
[11:38] <quappa> i've built and installed newer gaim (2.0.0beta5) via checkinstall. Now aptitude suggests me to "upgrade" my gaim to 2.0.0+beta3. how can this be resolved?
[11:40] <lowell> could always ignore it
[11:40] <lowell> hehe
[11:41] <huibert> hc: like this: "cat mymessage.txt | smbclient -M NET_BIOS_NAME"
[11:42] <quappa> all other package tools report broken "ubuntu-desktop" and "nautilus-sendto" because of this gaim controversy.
[11:42] <huibert> !checkinstall
[11:42] <ubotu> checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall  -  Please: Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page. - DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!
[11:43] <hc> Huibert : I tried that but to no avail
[11:43] <hc> can the net bios name also be an ip address if i dont know the netbios name
[11:44] <huibert> hc: I don't know. how does it fail? what error message?
[11:45] <hc> Huibert : XP doesnt have the winpopup function built in so i guess thats why
[11:45] <hc> apperently according to the manuals u need winpopup running on the other machines
[11:45] <quappa> huibert, checkinstall works ok, but newer gaim doesn't "replace" the older. at least it seems not to do.
[11:45] <huibert> hc: yes, it does, but it is disabled by default (this is a _very_ good_ thing)
[11:46] <hc> how can i enable it again /
[11:46] <huibert> quappa: I was just wonderung what checkinstall actually does :-)
[11:46] <huibert> hc: I think you need to enable a "messenger" service. Maybe allow something in the firewall.
[11:47] <huibert> hc: it's a windows problem, I'm not really an expert with MS stuff, sorry
[11:47] <hc> ok kewl. will check it out. Thx for the info,
[11:47] <hc> Are u more into linux?
[11:47] <sladen> huibert: linpopup
[11:48] <sladen> ph8: apt-get install mail   or   less /var/spool/mail/$USER
[11:48] <huibert> hc: have linux as sole pc since 1997....
[11:49] <ph8> cheers sladen
[11:49] <rausb0> huibert: same here
[11:49] <ph8> new question though
[11:49] <ph8> a mail i sent using sendmail was returned to me
[11:49] <ph8> in /var/spool/mail/myuser i've got the headers saying it was returned
[11:49] <huibert> hc: well, not quiet, I've only stopped using windows for gaming around 4 years ago :-)
[11:49] <hc> Thats good, Well i'm trying to Learn it now but what a hassle
[11:49] <ph8> are the contents of the message stored anywhere?
[11:50] <hc> Me, still stuck on the Dark side here
[11:50] <SoftIce> where can I run an insmod on boot before it reads /etc/init.d ?
[11:50] <huibert> hc: hassle? For me "working" with wondows (at work) is a real hassle
[11:50] <SoftIce> I cant use modprobe, I have to modprobe a device then insmod right after that, a path to a module
[11:50] <huibert> *windows
[11:51] <hc> Thats why i say it belongs on the Dark side (Windows)
[11:51] <huibert> SoftIce: afaik the module mist be pressent in the init.rd file, to be accessed before init, but I'm not sure
[11:51] <huibert> SoftIce: can't you compile the module into the kernel (not being a module anymore)?
[11:52] <pohpoh> this just in, you can divide by zero
[11:52] <pohpoh> nullity is to thank
[11:54] <huibert> pohpoh: Chuck Norris has been doing this for years :-) But, we're getting offtopic
[11:55] <pohpoh> http://www.bbc.co.uk/berkshire/content/articles/2006/12/06/divide_zero_feature.shtml
[11:55] <concept10> I just formatted a new ext3 partition on my system.  How do I find the UUID to mount it?
[11:55] <cyphase> are we going to get browser-embedded PDF reading
[11:55] <cyphase> by default i mean
[11:58] <rausb0> concept10: tune2fs -l /dev/<your_new_ext3_partition>
[11:58] <Paddy_EIRE> hi guys
[11:59] <burepe> anyone know a dictionary reader for epwing format, like edict
[11:59] <burepe> ?
[12:01] <concept10> rausb0, thanks alot
[12:04] <justin_> Hi, does anyone know what (II) and (WW) stand for in Xorg.0 logs?
[12:05] <joga> hi, I just installed ubuntu on a laptop yesterday and after using it for some time fine, after shutting it down and rebooting gdm isn't started anymore, and I just get a tty1 login
[12:05] <rausb0> justin_: (II) is informational, (WW) is warning
[12:05] <joga> it worked perfectly just before I rebooted
[12:05] <nisse> Hello. why ubuntu does not use fish as a default shell.
[12:05] <nisse> ?
[12:05] <rausb0> justin_: i think there is a explanation at the beginning of the log file
[12:06] <justin_> rausb0: Ok thanks, and (EE) "Error" right?
[12:06] <rausb0> justin_: yes, (EE) is error
[12:06] <Spee_Der> Good morning folks.... ..
[12:06] <justin_> It says "EE" cannot open security policy, is that normal?
[12:07] <huibert> !fish
[12:07] <ubotu> fish: a friendly interactive shell. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.21.12-1 (edgy), package size 631 kB, installed size 2560 kB
[12:07] <rausb0> justin_: i have that too. no problem so far.
[12:07] <justin_> Okie then
[12:08] <gundee> apt-index-watcher is getting on my nerves. every 5 seconds choking around 50% of my processor. disabled it for now. what is that thing good for anyways?
[12:08] <joga> when I try running sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart when in console, I get * Starting GNOME Display Manager...  [fail] , but when in recovery mode it starts the graphical login
[12:09] <Spee_Der> gundee: Can't you set the timer for that to say perhaps every four hours or something ?
[12:10] <huibert> justin_: I think it aybe that BASH like shells have been around for about 30 years, and may people know their way around in it.
[12:10] <huibert> justin_: that way, newbees can ask veterans questions about stuff veterans know :-)
[12:11] <tundejeg> hello
[12:11] <tundejeg> everybody
[12:11] <tundejeg> pls
[12:12] <tundejeg> can some one bear me out
[12:12] <huibert> !ask > tundejeg
[12:12] <tundejeg> of a problem
[12:12] <tundejeg> i tried
[12:12] <tundejeg> to login
[12:12] <justin_> Just ask your question
[12:12] <tundejeg> as a root
[12:12] <gundee> Spee_Der, i see no way i can adjust that. i guess i'll just keep it disabled for now.
[12:12] <tundejeg> with su -
[12:12] <tamer> Hi people! I think my ubuntu version somehow is damaged.... I neeed help!!!
[12:12] <huibert> !sudo
[12:12] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[12:12] <tundejeg> but when i enterd the password
[12:12] <Spee_Der> gundee: Ok, just a thought....
[12:12] <tundejeg> i got this error no shell
[12:12] <nisse> Oh my... Here are plenty of dumb ppl
[12:12] <tundejeg> how do i resolve it
[12:12] <huibert> tundejeg: you should not use "su -" in ubuntu, thats what sudo is for
[12:13] <owh> tamer: In what way is it damaged?
[12:13] <Spee_Der> tamer: How so ?
[12:13] <tundejeg> i tried sudo
[12:13] <tundejeg> too
[12:13] <nisse> gah..
[12:13] <tundejeg> it was telling me the same thing
[12:13] <tundejeg> no shell
[12:13] <huibert> tundejeg: qould you please write one sentence at the time, not 7 chunks of text?
[12:13] <huibert> *could
[12:13] <tundejeg> k
[12:14] <huibert> tundejeg: what was the precise error message, after "sudo su "
[12:15] <huibert> tundejeg: ooohhhh, I got an Idea, try "sudo su" not "sudo su -" (watch the minus sign)
[12:15] <owh> huibert: WTF are you trying to do?
[12:15] <eloquence_> w
[12:15] <tundejeg> it requested for password of which i wrote the password and i got the message "sorry try again"
[12:15] <eloquence_> mew
[12:15] <Darst> .
[12:16] <owh> huibert: Are you attempting to get a root-shell?
[12:16] <Darst> Strrange got  a msg saying I had to be nickserv registered but appears i have voice - can someone please confirm... aye ?
[12:16] <tundejeg> yes OWH
[12:16] <owh> eloquence_: Did you run kbsetup first?
[12:16] <owh> tundejeg: sudo bash
[12:17] <mneptok> Darst: you need to be registered and identified to send private messages
[12:17] <cappicrd> Hi
[12:17] <Darst> thx mneptok
[12:17] <owh> eloquence_: Are you the system administrator or a user on this machine?
[12:17] <eloquence_> well
[12:17] <eloquence_> i am the only user
[12:18] <eloquence_> and as far as i know it doesn't let me login as root
[12:18] <huibert> tundejeg: with sudo you have to enter _your_ password, not the root password.
[12:18] <owh> eloquence_: So, you setup the machine?
[12:18] <eloquence_> i ran kbsetup yes
[12:18] <eloquence_> yea
[12:18] <owh> eloquence_: So, did it find all the applications?
[12:18] <Darst> gotta a question now - to start, i apologise, am a newbie to *nix - first install but have go this far... (including getting my ati drivers working on my 40"lcd)... can someone suggest why i might be having X reboot itself each time i try to play media files (have tried both xvid and mp3 so far through VLC and Movie player - same response both times)
[12:18] <eloquence_> yea
[12:18] <owh> eloquence_: Did you run kbsetup as root, because if you did, it might have borked things.
[12:19] <eloquence_> there si a choice at the top to use some "group" ?
[12:19] <Kenas> hi
[12:19] <Kenas> how can i install unrar program ?
[12:19] <eloquence_> n
[12:19] <cappicrd> out of interest
[12:19] <chx> how could I tell apt that I have installed a package which replaces another? I have xserver-xorg-video-i810-modesetting instead of xserver-xorg-video-i810 and automatic updating is problematic.
[12:19] <eloquence_> well to get into kbsetup it asks u for root password
[12:19] <owh> eloquence_: Hmm.
[12:19] <eloquence_> wtf is a burning group?
[12:20] <owh> eloquence_: That's the group with permissions to burn a disc.
[12:20] <eloquence_> but where do i create the group
[12:20] <owh> Kenas: Launch Synaptic, search for unrar, install it.
[12:20] <eloquence_> cuz "burning" doesn't exist
[12:20] <owh> eloquence_: No, you shouldn't need to burn it.
[12:20] <owh> Duh
[12:20] <eloquence_> so i just entered my username as the name of the group and it accepted it
[12:20] <owh> eloquence_: You shouldn't need to create it.
[12:21] <eloquence_> i should go to the system settings > users & group smaybe?
[12:21] <BlackHawk> hi
[12:21] <owh> eloquence_: That should be fine from memory. k3b seems a little twitchy about permissions. I've not recently installed it. Last time I did I was running Debian Testing, these days I'm running Ubuntu Edgy.
[12:21] <ermak> I installed grub on MBR, after this WinXP  failed to load and I have recovered it, but it has overwritten MBR, how can I start up ubuntu now?
[12:21] <owh> ermak: From the bootcd.
[12:22] <eloquence_> oh
[12:22] <ermak> owh: i have livecd, and what step do i need to perform?
[12:22] <eloquence_> well is there another more efficient program for burning cd's/dvd's including ido's?
[12:22] <ermak> may be usefull link?
[12:22] <eloquence_> something not too big in size that is
[12:22] <owh> ermak: Boot from it, then read the help.
[12:23] <Darst> owh - have you experienced or heard of the sort of reboot problem i am experiencing before ?
[12:23] <owh> eloquence_: You mean iso?
[12:23] <eloquence_> lol yea
[12:23] <eloquence_> me and my fat fingers hahaha
[12:23] <Darst> owh - actually - will wait unti lyou are done with the other guys - got your hands full atm
[12:23] <Kenas> awh after that ?? i have installed unrar-free !! and now ??
[12:23] <Kenas> how can i unrar ??
[12:23] <owh> eloquence_: In Ubuntu you can burn those from within Nautilus, I'd be surprised if you cannot do that under Kubuntu.
[12:23] <Jaak_> is there anyone having problems using opensource ati drivers (used for beryl) and wow?
[12:24] <eloquence_> hmm
[12:24] <eloquence_> nautilus
[12:24] <owh> Kenas: I suspect there isn't a gui, so open up a terminal, then type man unrar.
[12:24] <EdLin> Jaak_: I don't think that works
[12:24] <eloquence_> so i should just install nautilus from adept?
[12:24] <owh> eloquence_: Well, I suspect that Kubuntu will use Konqeror. (SP)
[12:24] <eloquence_> or kde has its equivalent?
[12:24] <Jaak_> EdLine, need normal drivers suppose then?
[12:24] <owh> eloquence_: No.
[12:24] <eloquence_> k
[12:24] <owh> eloquence_: Yup
[12:24] <kippi> hey
[12:25] <EdLin> Jaak_: the closed-source drivers are unfortunately neccesary AFAIK
[12:25] <eloquence_> i had thought that kubuntu was "cooler" than ubuntu cuz of all the little programs it has
[12:25] <kippi> Could someone help me with a coldfusion on my ubuntu server?
[12:25] <eloquence_> but it seems ubuntu is way mor eefficient :(
[12:25] <owh> eloquence_: I suspect that the file manager within Kubuntu will do it. Browse to the iso file, right click on it and see what it says.
[12:25] <Jaak_> EdLin, thanks
[12:25] <EdLin> eloquence_: the most commonly used software in KDE for burning CDs is k3b. It's excellent, but no shell integration as far as I know.
[12:25] <Cubed> sup
[12:25] <eloquence_> u need to heat the cold fusion up kippi?
[12:25] <dstanek> all entries in my sources.lst are for drapper - is it safe to add an entry for edgy?
[12:25] <owh> eloquence_: Well, Kubuntu is based on KDE, Ubuntu is based on Gnome.
[12:25] <Cubed> anyone here wanna help a linux/ubuntu noob
[12:25] <kippi> hehe, need to find the .bin for it
[12:26] <EdLin> I use k3b even though otherwise I run GNOME
[12:26] <huibert> dstanek: no, uise backports to get edgy packages in dapper
[12:26] <huibert> !backports
[12:26] <ubotu> If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[12:26] <avalon> Anyone here know about COBOL?
[12:26] <Cubed> i need figure out how to install ndis... heard that before?
[12:26] <owh> dstanek: No, because the side effect will be that you update your whole machine.
[12:26] <owh> dstanek: Do what huibert suggests.
[12:26] <huibert> dstanek: but not all packages are backported
[12:26] <EdLin> Cubed: you can apt-get it, I think its in Universe or Multiverse
[12:26] <owh> Darst: How can I help?
[12:27] <TuxRacers> hello, i've got a problem when  rebooting.. it freezes on "will now reboot"
[12:27] <Cubed> edlin
[12:27] <eloquence_> owh... could the fact that the .iso is on a removable disk have an effect?
[12:27] <cyphase> how do you get a directory tree on the terminal?
[12:27] <Cubed> i read on the forums apt-get is a network feature
[12:27] <owh> eloquence_: Depends on how it's mounted.
[12:27] <avalon> No COBOLer's eh/
[12:27] <EdLin> actually, its in main
[12:27] <Cubed> i'm tring to set up my network
[12:27] <eloquence_> thru usb
[12:27] <eloquence_> its an IDE hard drive
[12:27] <owh> eloquence_: Can you alter the mounted removable disk, or do you only have read-only permissions?
[12:27] <Kenas> owh no manual of unrar found
[12:27] <eloquence_> i can browse it easily
[12:28] <eloquence_> thru konqueror
[12:28] <huibert> avalon: no, sorry, I'm not _that_old :-)
[12:28] <EdLin> avalon: Ubuntu is user-friendly. ;-) Since there is a COBOL compiler in Debian's repositories there's probably one in Universe.
[12:28] <dstanek> thanks huibert and owh - trying this now
[12:28] <owh> Kenas: Type apropos unrar
[12:28] <Cubed> edlin, how do i use apt-get if i don't have an internet connection?
[12:28] <EdLin> Cubed: then you've got a problem.
[12:28] <eloquence_> seems i cant write to it
[12:28] <dstanek> owh: look like the one i want is not
[12:29] <EdLin> Cubed: do you have another computer with a network connection?
[12:29] <eloquence_> that probably why it was saying i have no permissions?
[12:29] <huibert> dstanek: what are you looking for?
[12:29] <owh> eloquence_: Yes.
[12:29] <EdLin> Cubed: never mind, you're here. ;)
[12:29] <dstanek> i want to install libjgoodies-forms-java so i can install freemind
[12:29] <cyphase> nvm, i got it. ls -R
[12:29] <owh> eloquence_: You should be able to change that by right clicking on the device and changing permissions.
[12:29] <Darst> owh: having  probs with X rebooting when trying to play media files - any ideas
[12:29] <EdLin> Cubed: try downloading the debs from packages.ubuntu.com
[12:29] <eloquence_> i noticed that with my ubuntu live cd... i could install a few programs in adept with it taking them from the cd ... like make and gcc and stuff
[12:29] <Cubed> there's gotta be some way to install ndis... i mean think about it, i need ndis to install network drivers :(
[12:29] <ibob63> I am using gnome schedule to run a rsync command. Can anyone tell me how to make the command run as su or sudo?
[12:29] <eloquence_> but kubuntu's adept doesn't seem to have the same relationship with it's cd
[12:29] <Cubed> how to i install the deb? i tried clicking on it in ubuntu, got an error
[12:30] <EdLin> !ndiswrapper
[12:30] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[12:30] <owh> Darst: You'll need to have a look in the logs to see what is going on. Start with /var/log/syslog, then look for the X log, in the same directory.
[12:30] <owh> Darst: Also, you can try to play the file from the command line and see what it says.
[12:30] <EdLin> Cubed: you'll need to have it and all its dependencies
[12:30] <dstanek> huibert: libjgoodies-forms-java so i can install freemind
[12:30] <Kenas> owh nothing apropriate
[12:30] <EdLin> Cubed: what was the error?
[12:30] <GigaClon> ibob63 just type sudo, then enter your password
[12:30] <Darst> what sort of cmd will i be using for this from cmdline?
[12:30] <Cubed> you lost me, i'm new to linux outside of the xbox
[12:30] <kyja__> can someone tell me how to get edgy to play middy files
[12:30] <owh> Kenas: One mo....
[12:30] <eloquence_> i tried right click and changing permissions
[12:31] <Cubed> i forget, i've been at it all day
[12:31] <eloquence_> wouldn't let me
[12:31] <Cubed> it was in red...
[12:31] <ibob63> GigaClon: but I need the cron job to run in the back ground without having to type a password each time
[12:31] <huibert> dstanek: I assume it is an Java Library (jar) then , you could try to install that from edgy, but you should only download the dpkg, and try to install with "dpkg -i package_name" , beware thought, it _might_ break your install, I'm not sure if I would do this
[12:31] <owh> Kenas: Can you open it inside the Archive Manager  (Applicaitons -> Accessories)
[12:31] <EdLin> Cubed: dependencies are other files you need to install at the same time as a particular deb. Usually apt-get takes care of this for you, but since you're downloading individual debs you'll need to do that by hand.
[12:32] <eloquence_> oh wait
[12:32] <uczen> FH
[12:32] <treedreamer> eloquence_: try "man chmod" or "man chown" :)
[12:32] <eloquence_> i tried again and its working
[12:32] <uczen> WYPIERDALAC
[12:32] <Cubed> let me get this straight................. if i have the deb package of ndiswrapper, then that should be all i need to install it? the sudo command thingy is funny to me
[12:32] <owh> treedreamer: No, this is an automounted usb drive.
[12:32] <dstanek> huibert: thanks - i'm gonna try to install it into my home directory first
[12:32] <eloquence_> sorry treed... i am addicted to point clicking
[12:32] <uczen> MAI NAME IST DZIK
[12:32] <owh> eloquence_: How big is the .iso?
[12:32] <huibert> dstanek: if that works, it sound slike a good idea, "may the source be with you"
[12:33] <tonyyarusso> !pl | uczen
[12:33] <ubotu> uczen: Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl
[12:33] <Kenas> owh No !! even i have installed other programs like Cosmix with uses the unrar ultility... and cannot use it !!
[12:33] <eloquence_> a cd's size
[12:33] <Darst> owh - before i attempt the issue again to track the issues in the logfile - would you mind leting me know what cmd i might use to play a media file from command line ? no doubt i will be rebooting so i will say thanks now and bbiab :)
[12:33] <eloquence_> bout 698mb
[12:33] <eloquence_> its the ubuntu live cd
[12:33] <eloquence_> i wanna burn it
[12:33] <Cubed> i have the ndiswrapper deb, what else do i need?
[12:33] <Cubed> so frusturating
[12:33] <owh> Darst: Depends on what you're running. Totem {mediafile} will play it.
[12:33] <EdLin> Cubed: from what I've been able to figure out with apt-cache there's both the utilities and the kernel module package.
[12:34] <owh> eloquence_: Got enough spare disk space for it?
[12:34] <Darst> owh - thanks prolly dropping out in a moment
[12:34] <EdLin> Cubed: then on one command line, use dpkg -i - or use gdeb
[12:34] <uczen> WHE ARE YOU
[12:34] <eloquence_> yea
[12:34] <Cubed> what will that do?
[12:34] <eloquence_> i see were u r going
[12:34] <eloquence_> just copy it
[12:34] <owh> eloquence_: Alternatively insert the CD, then right click on it, choose copy.
[12:34] <eloquence_> and burn
[12:34] <tonyyarusso> !offtopic | uczen
[12:34] <ubotu> uczen: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[12:34] <owh> eloquence_: Yup
[12:34] <EdLin> Cubed: man dpkg
[12:34] <eloquence_> owh it is an iso on the external hard drive
[12:34] <uczen> ASDASD
[12:34] <Jaak_> is it possible to make 2 bootable versions of ubu, the only diffrence being the xorg.conf
[12:35] <eloquence_> are there tools in linux like daemon tools for mounting images?
[12:35] <EdLin> Cubed: dpkg is sort of like rpm
[12:35] <owh> eloquence_: What options do you get if you right-click on the .iso ?
[12:35] <owh> eloquence_: Many.
[12:35] <glaz> eloquence_, man mount
[12:35] <owh> eloquence_: You shouldn't need to mount it.
[12:35] <Cubed> i've read on rpms, as i wanted ububtu for 3d desktop, but i have never installed anything using the terminal
[12:35] <Cubed> just unsuccessful tries
[12:36] <eloquence_> Open with K3B , Open With... , Actions
[12:36] <EdLin> eloquence_: you can look at any image by mounting with the -o loop command and the proper filesystem (usually iso9660)
[12:36] <owh> eloquence_: I just wondered if you had the actual CD, then you could duplicate it :-)
[12:36] <glaz> Cubed, ubuntu is not a terminal installation
[12:36] <eloquence_> yea
[12:36] <eloquence_> i had it
[12:36] <eloquence_> but gave it to a dude
[12:36] <eloquence_> so i wann aake me a new one
[12:36] <owh> eloquence_: Hah
[12:36] <owh> eloquence_: That 'll learn you :-)
[12:36] <eloquence_> the only reason i came to kubuntu was cuz i screwed my ubuntu up a week ago
[12:36] <Cubed> i said i used the terminal to install some apps
[12:36] <finalbeta> !paste
[12:36] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[12:36] <eloquence_> and decided that if i am gonna reinstall
[12:36] <eloquence_> might as well try kubuntu
[12:37] <EdLin> sudo dpkg -i (file and dependencies here)
[12:38] <owh> eloquence_: I have to say, I have been running my installation for the better part of seven years without a complete re-install. Only last month, I made the decision to format and start with a fresh Ubuntu. Up to then it was a single Debian installation.
[12:38] <Darst> owh - back again... looks like a gfx installation issue...
[12:38] <owh> Darst: So now you can google :-)
[12:38] <eloquence_> wow
[12:38] <Cubed> i'm confusing myself
[12:38] <Darst> owh - can i post the latest couple of lines in a /smg for you to cast a quick eye for me pls?
[12:38] <eloquence_> me being a born and raised windows kiddie ... u can imagine that reinstalling is the easiest option for me
[12:39] <Darst> owg - /msg even
[12:39] <cobol> Anyone in here familiar with the COBOL language?
[12:39] <owh> Darst: Sure, PM/
[12:39] <eloquence_> Darst, in a sub machine gun?
[12:39] <owh> cobol: Sorry, I'm an old timer, but not that old :-)
[12:39] <Cubed> hey edlin
[12:39] <owh> cobol: I cut my teeth on 6502 assembly :-)
[12:39] <eloquence_> cobol... dude did u just wake up out of a coma?
[12:39] <glaz> if you know proper english you know cobol
[12:39] <glaz> :-)
[12:39] <EdLin> cobol: I thought I was ancient for using wordstar on CP/M
[12:39] <eloquence_> i guess so
[12:39] <eloquence_> lol
[12:39] <EdLin> owh: 6502 assembly rocks
[12:40] <eloquence_> he couldnt take the shame
[12:40] <Cubed> i got the 1.3 tar for ndiswrapper, so how do i specicy where it is at?
[12:40] <eloquence_> he just commitied harakiri
[12:40] <eloquence_> poor guy cobol
[12:40] <EdLin> owh: I forgot which was which, indirect index or index indirect.  ;-)
[12:40] <owh> EdLin: ROTFL, NOP
[12:40] <eloquence_> i screwed my ubuntu install up with trying to install the ieee80211 subsystem for my intel ipw3945 wireless driver
[12:40] <eloquence_> so there was no way to recognize a wlan card so i had to reinstall :(
[12:41] <owh> eloquence_: Hmm, that worked for me out of the box.
[12:41] <EdLin> Cubed: you don't want the tar, you want the debs.
[12:41] <Cubed> tar is for... compiling?
[12:41] <eloquence_> on edgy they say it works out the box :(
[12:41] <eloquence_> wireless on dapper was fine
[12:41] <eloquence_> but i wanted the drivers
[12:41] <eloquence_> to be able to do more
[12:41] <eloquence_> or better
[12:41] <EdLin> Cubed: usually, and you can't compile kernel modules on a Ubuntu system that has nothing instsalled from the net.
[12:41] <gnomefreak> Cubed: a tar is a compressed archive
[12:41] <eloquence_> when it comes to recognizing and interacting on wireless
[12:41] <owh> Cubed: tar is an archive, it generally contains source code. You should normally prefer to do everything via apt-get, aptitude or synaptic.
[12:42] <eloquence_> my main prob was i didn't know i have to install the kernal source and headers
[12:42] <EdLin> owh: he doesn't have an internet connection apparently.
[12:42] <eloquence_> so during th einstall it asked me to delete the old ieee80211 (v1.1.6)
[12:42] <owh> Cubed: The whole point of using packages is that you can remove the whole thing without creating dependency issues.
[12:42] <Cubed> so.... do i use synaptic to install the deb of whatever i need?
[12:42] <eloquence_> then it tried to install the new one and found no headers or source so automatically ... NO wlan card :(
[12:42] <Cubed> yeah thanx owh, but i have no internet connection
[12:43] <Cubed> i'm literally switching hard drives by hand
[12:43] <owh> Cubed: Where are you getting your stuff from?
[12:43] <eloquence_> i live in saudi arabia right now... so it is an issue that i can only use dial up from home
[12:43] <Cubed> not good, but necessary
[12:43] <eloquence_> i go to a local cafe to use their broadband
[12:43] <eloquence_> bah humbug on dial-up
[12:43] <eloquence_> we need rudolf the rednosed crackhead to drop off some bandwidth
[12:43] <Cubed> i'm at hom
[12:43] <Cubed> home
[12:44] <Cubed> i have the internet, but i must configure my wireless to work in ubuntu... i'm currently on windows
[12:44] <EdLin> eloquence_: use "sudo pppconfig" to set up dial-up networking for Ubuntu, then you can install whatever you need.
[12:44] <owh> Cubed: So, lemmie get this straight, you have a Ubuntu install and you're trying to do what?
[12:44] <owh> Cubed: Ah.
[12:44] <owh> Cubed: So, your only connectivity is wireless?
[12:44] <Cubed> yep
[12:44] <Cubed> at the moment
[12:44] <eloquence_> cant use my modem
[12:44] <eloquence_> winmodem
[12:44] <owh> Cubed: On what wireless device?
[12:45] <Cubed> i have a netgear ma111 wireless adapter via usb
[12:45] <EdLin> eloquence_: I got a new external modem for $30US
[12:45] <solem> im trying to do a apt-get update, but i get this error: Failed to fetch http://no.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy-updates/main/source/Sources.bz2  MD5Sum mismatch
[12:45] <solem> why is that?
[12:45] <eloquence_> so i use my other laptop that is on windows then connect it thru ethernet to my wireless router
[12:45] <EdLin> now *I'm* on wireless
[12:45] <eloquence_> and that broadcasts dial up to my lappie on linux
[12:45] <owh> Cubed: Then the ndiswappers from memory are not for you. Lemmie check.
[12:45] <EdLin> but before, dial-up worked
[12:46] <Cubed> i have ndiswrapper debs...... what is the best way to install debs?
[12:46] <owh> Cubed: dpkg -i {deb}
[12:46] <EdLin> Cubed: owd seems to think you don't need ndiswrapper
[12:46] <eloquence_> find me a linux compatible modem in saudi arabia and i'll give u a cookie
[12:46] <Cubed> oh that's what ed tried to tell me
[12:46] <owh> One mo folks.
[12:46] <eloquence_> they have some here but from no name companies from china
[12:46] <huibert> solem: sound like the repos is broken atm, try again later. should not be more than a day.
[12:46] <eloquence_> and dial up is not the point anyways
[12:46] <solem> ok :)
[12:46] <eloquence_> i needed wireless for the broadband at cafes
[12:47] <EdLin> Cubed: if you can avoid ndiswrapper avoid it.
[12:47] <eloquence_> i hate staying online forever clogging my phone line up
[12:47] <eloquence_> slow download busy signal for whoever calls me and a big phone bill at the end of the day
[12:47] <owh> Cubed: Which version of Ubuntu are you running?
[12:47] <eloquence_> we pay $.80 per hour here
[12:47] <Cubed> what would you reccomend for my ma111?
[12:47] <Cubed> 6.10
[12:47] <Cubed> i heard it works
[12:47] <eloquence_> it adds up when u r apgetting a big file
[12:47] <Cubed> just a biatch to get it goin
[12:47] <huibert> solem: the repos was updated today at 11:15 (1,5 hours ago) maybe something went wrong
[12:48] <solem> ah ok :)
[12:48] <huibert> huibert: if you are in a hurry, try to switch away from the NO mirror, and use the ubuntu.com repos
[12:48] <miles> Hi there
[12:48] <owh> Cubed: Read this: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/ndiswrapper/+bug/32275
[12:48] <EdLin> huibert: talking to yourself? ;-)
[12:48] <Cubed> what is an alternative to ndiswrapper? i wanted ndiswrapper badly because i heard it is capable of handling my wireless card
[12:49] <EdLin> Cubed: an alternative is the Linux kernel's own device drivers....
[12:49] <miles> I'm desesperately looking for help, I'd like to copy/paste some text from a PDF document generated by CUPS-PDF to OOo, but evince does not allow me to copy it.
[12:49] <owh> Cubed: Also: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-2781.html
[12:49] <miles> It's pretty urgent
[12:49] <huibert> EdLin: trying to talk to solem, but it does not allway work, tab completion only works correct if I use the correct fisrt characters
[12:49] <EdLin> Cubed: if your device is supported, it can be a no-install issue.
[12:49] <JackPhil> does ubuntu support non-standard framebuffer resolutions?
[12:49] <JackPhil> such as 1280x800
[12:50] <owh> Cubed: It appears as if ndiswrapper is the way after all. I hadn't seen an external device that needed it, only internal. I was wrong.
[12:50] <Weryk> Witam
[12:50] <Cubed> edlin, i think i need a 3rd party for my ma111
[12:50] <Weryk> o you speak Polish ??
[12:50] <ajeetraj> anyone knows where i can find support for webcams in ubuntu?
[12:51] <ajeetraj> anyone knows where i can find support for webcams in ubuntu?
[12:51] <apokryphos> !webcam
[12:51] <ubotu> webcam is now easy to install on Linux; instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[12:51] <EdLin> Cubed: owd says now you need ndiswrapper. Did you fetch all the dependencies? Go to the directory they're in and do sudo dpkg -i *.deb
[12:52] <Cubed> i'm trying to piece things together..... ok... i need dependencies for each deb i install?
[12:52] <ajeetraj> i can't recieve webcam from an msn user in kopete but it doesn't work
[12:52] <Cubed> and if i have dependencies, i wouldn't know where they would be at :P
[12:52] <ajeetraj> any suggestions anyone?
[12:52] <ajeetraj> aaah i am getting tired of this linux :(
[12:53] <EdLin> Cubed: you don't install debs with dependencies one by one, install them all at once on the command line by using the wildcard *.deb
[12:53] <DreamThief> your webcam works with camorama? @ ajeetraj
[12:53] <huibert> !patience > ajeetraj
[12:53] <Cubed> owd, thanx for the links
[12:53] <Cubed> i'm reading and typing
[12:54] <EdLin> searching ubuntuforums can be very useful. :)
[12:54] <Cubed> wildcard? there's more stuff i don't know?
[12:54] <Cubed> trust me, i have done a search
[12:54] <miles> (2) I'm desesperately looking for help, I'd like to copy/paste some text from a PDF document generated by CUPS-PDF to OOo, but evince does not allow me to copy it.
[12:54] <Cubed> a bunch of em
[12:54] <Cubed> just can't filter out what i need and what is BS
[12:55] <tomix> anyone give me and idea of how to upgrade from xvncviewer the server i am connecting to uses protocol version 3.889 but my viewer use 3.3?
[12:56] <owh> miles: If you cannot, then it's likely that the PDF document is an image, not text.
[12:57] <miles> with vector fonts ?
[12:57] <miles> Whatever the zoom size I use, I can't see any pixels on the "text"
[12:58] <huibert> tomix: have you read this " http://www.realvnc.com/pipermail/vnc-list/2006-September/055902.html ", it about a non existant protocol 3.889
[12:58] <huibert> tomix: sounds like the server behaving badly.
[12:59] <tomix> yeah i think the osx is reporting an error number as version number
[01:01] <huibert> tomix: then, it is no use trying to install a "higher" vncview
[01:01] <huibert> version
[01:02] <tomix> no absloutely but you only just pointed the url out to me that told me that
[01:02] <tomix> i didnt know when i asked
[01:03] <huibert> tomix: that's why you were asking in the fisrt place :-)

[01:20] <tw1991> i am going mad, haha
[01:20] <assasukasse> glaz noone else can write it
[01:20] <glaz> assasukasse, what about ~/.config/autostart
[01:20] <tw1991> what does this mean "The model number for your Radeon card is a 9700 pro or above (this includes model numbers that start with an X, like X300, X1600, etc., and it also includes the Xpress 200)"
[01:21] <assasukasse> glaz read and write to me, read and execute to others
[01:21] <dyland> yes
[01:21] <glaz> it should be chmod 700
[01:21] <assasukasse> but dir owned by root
[01:21] <glaz> there you you
[01:21] <tw1991> ?
[01:21] <assasukasse> glaz what should i do then
[01:21] <fabio__|> i installed a new video card and xorg doesn't start anymore, can someone tell me the command to auto reconfigure it? thanks.
[01:21] <glaz> assasukasse, sudo chown "yourusername" /home/yourusername/.config/autostart
[01:22] <x-r00t-x> tw1991, shut up and install ubuntu . its will work .
[01:22] <glaz> dont put the ""
[01:22] <tw1991> ...
[01:22] <romperstomper> sry guys was afk
[01:22] <romperstomper> so anyone with dual monitor ati exp?
[01:22] <hc> assasukasse : use chmod 777 and then the file or directory
[01:22] <tw1991> so it will auto work?
[01:22] <glaz> hc, hell no.
[01:22] <Alexandre> Hello guys, there is something like F4L, flash for linux in ubuntu?!?!?!
[01:22] <tw1991> i need to ask, because i am new to it..
[01:22] <soundray> x-r00t-x: this is not the way we talk to people seeking help here.
[01:22] <soundray> !coc | x-r00t-x
[01:22] <ubotu> x-r00t-x: The Ubuntu Code of Conduct to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/
[01:22] <hc> why
[01:22] <abcdef> hi everyone.. can anyone tell me if here's a way to minimize evolution into the systray??
[01:23] <derFlo> hi
[01:23] <glaz> assasukasse, dont listen to hc please.
[01:23] <assasukasse> glaz i followed your hint now i am rebooting
[01:23] <x-r00t-x> huh soundray ?
[01:23] <derFlo> i deleted all files in ~/.wine/ ..and i dont know how to reconfigure wine :(
[01:23] <tw1991> I need this "When you are unsure, ask for help."
[01:23] <tw1991> lol:)
[01:23] <fabio__|> i installed a new video card and xorg doesn't start anymore, can someone tell me the command to auto reconfigure it? thanks. I suppose it is a apt-get command..
[01:23] <glaz> why? why would you want your whole users puting startup scripts to your session.....
[01:23] <assasukasse> glaz everything works now thanks alot!
[01:23] <fabio__|> derFlo: type winecfg
[01:23] <glaz> assasukasse, you're welcome.
[01:23] <hc> wots wrong with 777 glaz?
[01:23] <derFlo> fabbione: i did
[01:23] <derFlo> try this not only once
[01:24] <hc> everyone can acces the file then
[01:24] <glaz> hc: what is wrong is that any other users can put startup script to your Xorg session after that, do you really want that ?
[01:24] <fabio__|> i installed a new video card and xorg doesn't start anymore, can someone tell me the command to auto reconfigure it? thanks. I suppose it is a apt-get command.. :(
[01:24] <soundray> tw1991: if you download the Desktop CD appropriate for your machine, you can test if it will boot without installing.
[01:24] <glaz> and chmod to 700 isnt the propper way to fix something that shoulndt be 777
[01:24] <Alexandre> There is a program flash in Ubuntu?!?!?!??
[01:25] <fabio__|> alexandre: you mean a program to edit .fla or to view .swf?
[01:25] <jishin> i got into problem with mkcfm when trying to defoma-reconfigure
[01:25] <x-r00t-x> sup jrib  :D
[01:25] <glaz> Alexandre, what do you mean a program, view or create flash?
[01:25] <Alexandre> fabio__|: Edit, create
[01:25] <jishin> Can't exec "/usr/bin/mkcfm": No such file or directory at /var/lib/defoma/scripts/x-ttcidfont-conf.defoma line 791.
[01:25] <fabio__|> alexandre: with wine on edgy eft, i can easily run macromedia flash professional 8
[01:26] <jrib> x-r00t-x: hello
[01:26] <jishin> i knew that because of license , mkcfm is not included with xutils, so how can i resolve this situation
[01:26] <Alexandre> fabio__|: glaz, i use Dapper
[01:26] <x-r00t-x> hi . how are you ;))
[01:26] <tw1991> Quote: " tw1991: if you download the Desktop CD appropriate for your machine, you can test if it will boot without installing." means if im downloading 6.10 desktop i can boot it without installing?
[01:27] <fabio__|> alexandre: so try to installa manually the latest version of wine. with the new version of wine that i have on edgy eft, Flash Professional 8 works very well.
[01:27] <assasukasse> thanks glaz everything works now!
[01:27] <fabio__|> i installed a new video card and xorg doesn't start anymore, can someone tell me the command to auto reconfigure it? thanks!!
[01:27] <glaz> assasukasse, you're welcome.
[01:27] <x-r00t-x> yes tw1991
[01:27] <soundray> tw1991: exactly. It is a so-called Live CD that boots a full Linux system without touching your hard disk until you ask it to.
[01:27] <assasukasse> is there anyone who tried beryl here, i tried it but was not so satisfied of the speed, compiz is much swifter
[01:27] <tw1991> ok, so i will need to burn it out as a cd :)
[01:27] <glaz> assasukasse, i run beryl and i find it fast.
[01:28] <tw1991> i think i got it, thanks alot.
[01:28] <soundray> tw1991: yes
[01:28] <tw1991> try it first, before install :)
[01:28] <Alexandre> fabio__|: i'm in ca comunity computer center, working with ltsp, if i do this, everybody, will download windows program
[01:29] <glaz> fabio__|, X -configure might work
[01:29] <stojance> How do I open applications that use JavaScript and require WMP to play, and also use .../mplayer
[01:29] <gundee> assasukasse, everything fine with beryl. since beryl is forked from compiz, thus being the core components the same, speed should not differ (much)
[01:30] <assasukasse> gundee why so many ppl say compiz is far better
[01:30] <Doow> is there any package for integrating subversion with eclipse in ubuntu? or do I have to download and add that manually?
[01:30] <hc> how so i send a message over my network from linux to a mac, similar to netsend command
[01:30] <gundee> assasukasse, ida know, ppl are biased
[01:30] <fabio__|> doow: the name is "subclipse"
[01:31] <Doow> fabio__|: sweet, thanks
[01:31] <fabio__|> Doow: it is a eclipse pluging, search "subclipse" on google.
[01:31] <Doow> fabio__|: ok, so manually then?
[01:31] <tundejeg> hi
[01:32] <gundee> assasukasse, ... but don't mind trying out both versions and posting the framerates. that would clarify.
[01:32] <fabio__|> Doow: go in the install/update secion of Eclipse and enter there the URL of the subclipse repository
[01:32] <Doow> fabio__|: eclipse has it's own package system?
[01:33] <Basthion> hola
[01:33] <Doow> fabio__|: just installed it 5 minutes ago, not very familiar with it yet =)
[01:33] <pibarnas> hello, folks.
[01:33] <fabio__|> Doow: yes, eclipse has it's own package management system
[01:33] <tomix> fabio_:
[01:33] <tomix> http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.2.x
[01:33] <tundejeg> thanks to the person that told me to write sudo bash to get my root status
[01:34] <tomix> that the latest one but i dont think it is detailed on the site
[01:34] <Doow> tomix: fabio__| is just helping me, I think he knows allready =)
[01:34] <tomix> the latest version of subclipse will hack with any version below that
[01:34] <tomix> oops
[01:34] <tomix> sorry
[01:34] <tomix> !
[01:34] <derFlo> i deleted all files in ~/.wine/ ..and i dont know how to reconfigure wine :(
[01:35] <pibarnas> mouse gestures on  beryl 0.1.2 stop working without any configuration. Any ideas to enable it again?
[01:35] <fabio__|> derFlo: run winecfg
[01:35] <fabio__|> please can someone tell me the apt command to completely reconfigure xserver? thanks.
[01:35] <derFlo> fabio__|: i did.. but wine gives out errors.
[01:36] <derFlo> fabio__|: look at that:
[01:36] <derFlo>  wine /media/cdrom0/setup.exe
[01:36] <derFlo> Warning: the specified Windows directory L"c:\\windows" is not accessible.
[01:36] <derFlo> Warning: the specified System directory L"c:\\windows\\system32" is not accessible.
[01:36] <derFlo> Warning: could not find DOS drive for current working directory '/home/florian', starting in the Windows directory.
[01:36] <derFlo> wine: cannot find '/media/cdrom0/setup.exe'
[01:36] <Doow> fabio__|: I think it's apt-get install --reconfigure <package>
[01:36] <Doow> fabio__|: something with --reconfigure at least =)
[01:36] <snail> fabio__|: dpkg-reconfigure not apt
[01:37] <JackPhil> i changed the kernel options vga=792
[01:37] <JackPhil> and how to make the usplash image center?
[01:38] <x-r00t-x> !usplash
[01:38] <ubotu> usplash is the start-up splash (before the login screen appears) in Ubuntu. To customize it, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto
[01:38] <tomix> has anyone managed to succesfully connect to ard using vnc?
[01:39] <Piotsze> hi
[01:39] <fabio__|> dpkg-reconfigure worked!! thanks!
[01:39] <Piotsze> i have just upgraded my kubuntu 6.06 to 6.10 and there are couple of problems (sorry for my english)
[01:40] <Piotsze> firts of all there is NO monitor icon in "system settings", second: there is an icon of "adept-updater" but updates do not install themself
[01:40] <derFlo> can dpkg-reconfigure could reconfigure wine? i deleted the files in ~/.wine/  :-( :-(
[01:41] <Piotsze> anyone can help ?
[01:44] <Randakar> derFlo: there's a wineconf program for that I think
[01:44] <Randakar> dpkg-reconfigure is for reconfiguring the package, not your local user preferences
[01:44] <peder_> http://petruz.org/reverse <- Thats my ipv6 reversed named file.. Can anyone see anything wrong? I cant resolve the ips
[01:45] <derFlo> Randakar: yes i know.. but winecfg does not recreate the files in ~/.wine/ :-(
[01:45] <will__> ello folks =)
[01:45] <Randakar> derFlo: wine should recreate that itself I guess.
[01:45] <derFlo> Randakar: it seems as it does not.

[02:02] <huibert> A3n: I think using "system->administration->User and Groups" in Ubuntu.
[02:02] <needhelp> My friend has ubuntu 5. How to upgrade it to latest Ubuntu version ?
[02:02] <huibert> A3n: the other way would be to edit the /etc/group file yourself
[02:02] <A3n> huibert:k i'll try that thanks
[02:02] <frying_fish> vendetta: ati will do dual screen, via xinerama.  I cant' remember how I did it now, it was over a year ago since i last had ati card.
[02:02] <glaz> frying_fish, you dont have to play sudoers since %admin ALL ALL is in there
[02:02] <Raven> Netgear WG311T network card, anybody know how to get this one working with Unbuntu
[02:02] <VigoFusion> !upgrade
[02:02] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[02:02] <mahdi> hi, i'm on amd64 running feisty. I used to have firefox32 (i386 downloaded from official site and other install from the unofficial deb found on the forums) on edgy, but now on feisty firefox32 works and loads the plugins but doesn't connect to any sites! Could anybody plz help me with that?
[02:02] <frying_fish> glaz: oh ok, well then.
[02:03] <huibert> A3n: but to use Admin tools in ubuntu you need to be able to use gksu (graphical sudo), so you might be in a catch 22 situation
[02:03] <hhyyjj163> who can help me?
[02:03] <frying_fish> huibert: not true.
[02:03] <A3n> huibert:i'll just edit manualy :p
[02:03] <enfors> Postfix/imap question: Is there really no easier way of getting imap to work than setting up courier, and _manually_ setting up tables and stuff in a mysql database?
[02:03] <vendetta> Manstein: is there a better place to try? ati specific or laptop maybe???
[02:03] <A3n> huibert:what do i need to change add to it? want me to paste bin its content?
[02:03] <huibert> frying_fish: why not true?
[02:03] <frying_fish> if you have a terminal available (or an xterm of some kind) you can just prepend sudo to the command to run the application
[02:04] <hhyyjj163> i want share internet use iptable,but idont kown how to do?
[02:04] <frying_fish> it doesn't have to be launched from the menu and use gksu.
[02:04] <Manstein> Vendetta: will check in -xgl channel, tnx
[02:04] <Valmarko> When visualizing web page, the words are very small, compared to Windows. Can you help me?
[02:04] <A3n> huibert:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35770/ my etc/group
[02:04] <huibert> frying_fish: but if you cannot do a sudo, because  your not in the admin group, you cannot use both
[02:04] <hhyyjj163> help!
[02:04] <frying_fish> but your statement of needing the gksu was the part that was not true
[02:05] <enfors> Postfix/imap question: Is there really no easier way of getting imap to work than setting up courier, and _manually_ setting up tables and stuff in a mysql database?
[02:05] <mahdi> seems like the downloaded firefox doesnt connect to any sites (with and without linux32)... what could b wrong?
[02:05] <VigoFusion> mahdi: You have internet connection working, my guess is a setting in the /cofig? of that Firfox
[02:05] <frying_fish> well, if you can get to the root account, you can still launch it from the terminal anyway.
[02:05] <huibert> frying_fish: if one clicks on "system->admin->BLAH BLAH" gksu is invoked in ubuntu
[02:05] <mahdi> VigoFusion: yep. If i run x86_64 firefox from ubuntu repos with works fine
[02:05] <abuyazan> hello , can some one help in PowerDNS installtion
[02:06] <frying_fish> yes, but. if you launch a xterm (or other terminal emulator) you can become root with su, then just type the command that would launch it. i.e. for synaptic just type synaptic.
[02:06] <hhyyjj163> anyone kown iptables?
[02:06] <frying_fish> (and hit enter of course)
[02:06] <frying_fish> hhyyjj163: google has some very good guides for iptables.
[02:06] <huibert> A3n: you are in the admin group, you should allready be able to use the administrativ tools.......
[02:06] <huibert> What was your problem again.
[02:06] <A3n> huibert: apperantly i'm in the admin group (http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35770/) but i cant use sudo, gksu . not even if i su [password]  myself to root
[02:07] <mahdi> VigoFusion: and don't think it is about firefox.cfg because i copied the file from the working version and it still doesn't work
[02:07] <needhelp> whats a command to tell which ubuntu version is running?
[02:07] <soundray> needhelp: cat /etc/lsb-release
[02:07] <gnomefreak> needhelp: lsb_release -a
[02:07] <needhelp> thnx
[02:07] <noika> hey guys anyone knows how do i install yahoo messenger?
[02:07] <huibert> A3n: su will not work, because ubuntu creates a random (unknown) password for root at intall time
[02:07] <gnomefreak> mines shorter ;)
[02:07] <hhyyjj163> i have try some,but fail;  fish
[02:07] <mwe> should most extarnal usb dvd burners be working in Ubuntu?
[02:07] <gnomefreak> huibert: use sudo
[02:08] <VigoFusion> mahdi: I am newb to Debian/Linux, but that seems like a common program error of no comm or is a missing link in some config that permits Firefox to access.
[02:08] <huibert> gnomefreak: I know, I'm talking to A3n..... :-)
[02:08] <gnomefreak> oh
[02:08] <soundray> huibert: it doesn't create a random password
[02:08] <A3n> huibert: i use su all the time to set myself root and be able to use the commands i would need  "sudo" to do
[02:08] <frying_fish> huibert: does it do it that way? I didn't think it created anything, it just had the account disabled.
[02:08] <huibert> soundray: what password does root have on your machine?
[02:08] <frying_fish> huibert: like he's going to tell you.
[02:08] <VigoFusion> mahdi: Did you run the sys file checker?
[02:08] <huibert> soundray: ehhh, don't tell me
[02:08] <brynk> frying_fish: it doesn't :)
[02:09] <A3n> huibert: i set my own root password with "passwd root"
[02:09] <mwe> or should I expect problems unless I buy a particular dvd burner?
[02:09] <soundray> huibert: there is no root password, and the root account is locked
[02:09] <frying_fish> yeah I set my own root password as well.
[02:09] <mahdi> VigoFusion: yep. The weird thing is that it used to work fine... the feisty upgrade must have broken it
[02:09] <hhyyjj163> i want share internet use iptable,but idont kown how to do?
[02:09] <soundray> huibert: that's one of the main advantages of using sudo instead of logging in as root.
[02:09] <huibert> frying_fish: ok,
[02:09] <mahdi> VigoFusion: how do i do that?
[02:09] <A3n> huibert:i got told that i have somekind of thing i need to change in my /etc/hosts but nobody ever told what i needed to change
[02:10] <huibert> A3n: I think the discusion got a bit sidetracked
[02:10] <VigoFusion> mahdi: Revert, is an option at Boot, or use the backup that I hope you made...
[02:10] <mahdi> VigoFusion: ah, yep. I used it but has nothing to do
[02:10] <A3n> whenever i try to use sudo or gksu i get error "gethostbyname() not found" or something like that
[02:11] <huibert> at anybody: how do I get ubotu to tell me something in private (without flooding the chanel)?
[02:11] <soundray> A3n: of course I told you. You need to remove the last part of the first line, anything that's not <IP_ADDRESS> or localhost
[02:11] <hhyyjj163> anyone kown iptables?
[02:11] <mahdi> VigoFusion: and i don't intend to use the backup. Feisty seems to have fixed more stuff than it broke =P
[02:11] <A3n> soundray: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35771/ is my hosts file
[02:11] <huibert> soundray: sound good
[02:11] <tc75> hi, how can i print pdfs from command line?
[02:11] <soundray> A3n: in order to be able to edit /etc/hosts, you need to boot in recovery mode and run 'nano /etc/hosts'
[02:12] <VigoFusion> mahdi: I have no idea what the command/sudo is for sys file check, but I saw it on the Debian Site, and a few Linux sites.
[02:12] <mista> ok how can i bridge my two nic's?
[02:12] <A3n> ah ok
[02:12] <soundray> A3n: yes, I've seen that. Remove 'ordiadri'
[02:12] <Manstein> or nano -w /etc/hosts
[02:12] <frying_fish> soundray: not if he has a root account available like I think he said he has.
[02:12] <A3n> my computer name?
[02:13] <soundray> A3n: "ordiadri" must not be linked to <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:13] <A3n> soundray: k
[02:13] <soundray> A3n: you can link it to your LAN address
[02:13] <brynk> soundray: A3n: you don't need toreboot to edit /ets/hosts
[02:13] <mahdi> VigoFusion: i don't think it is about it anyway... the command is fsck. I only checks for integrity and the system is fine. It's a matter of some firefox settings
[02:13] <mahdi> VigoFusion: just don't know where to look yet
[02:14] <soundray> brynk: you haven't followed the entire conversation
[02:14] <klm-> where are ubuntu fonts located? there seems to be so many fonts -archives
[02:14] <A3n> soundray: my LAN MAC adress ?
[02:14] <soundray> A3n: no, your LAN IP address
[02:14] <A3n> soundray: or wireless lan adress ?
[02:14] <brynk> soundray: no i haven't but there's really no need to reboot ever
[02:15] <hhyyjj163> anyone kown iptables?i want share internet use iptable,but i dont kown how to do?
[02:15] <A3n> soundray: well.. thats another problem i havent solved yet, i dont have internet support under ubuntu yet :p
[02:15] <VigoFusion> mahdi: I may have it bkmarked, am looking now
[02:15] <soundray> brynk: he can't use sudo, so he'll need recovery mode
[02:15] <soundray> A3n: sorry, I just made an assumption about your gender there.
[02:16] <A3n> soundray: huh?
[02:16] <soundray> A3n: let's fix the sudo issue first, then attack the LAN configuration
[02:16] <soundray> A3n: I said 'he' (referrring to you) as I was just talking to brynk
[02:16] <A3n> soundray: well i am a "he" lol
[02:16] <mista> wanting to know more about routing
[02:16] <mista> or even briging
[02:17] <VigoFusion> mahdi: This is a start,,it isnt exact, but is a good source, http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Dictionary/html/Linux-Dictionary.html
[02:17] <Ubuntu> hi all
[02:17] <A3n> soundray: ow another thing, i have downloaded a tool wich allows me to read/write to my linux partition wich i named drive Z:
[02:18] <A3n> soundray:cant i edit from windows?
[02:18] <mahdi> ubuntu's firefox seems to detect wether the system is 64 or 32bits... any chance that firefox64 will use 32bits plugins if ran with linux32?
[02:18] <sod75> hi!
[02:18] <mahdi> VigoFusion: :) tkz
[02:18] <soundray> A3n: yes, that should be possible
[02:18] <soundray> A3n: if Z: corresponds to your root dir where /etc/hosts is located
[02:18] <Valmarko> How can I change the width and hight og a web page. Firefox?
[02:18] <mjr> mahdi, there's nspluginwrapper for running 32-bit plugins in a 64-bit browser, but I don't think it's readily packaged and don't know about stability
[02:19] <mwe> hey, anyone know if I should expect problems in linux mounting an external usb dvd drive? should I buy a particular drive?
[02:19] <soundray> mahdi: no
[02:19] <A3n> so i removed "ordiadri" next to "localhost " now what do i add to it?
[02:20] <soundray> A3n: nothing for now
[02:20] <mahdi> mjr and soundray, tkz... by any chance do u know what could b wrong when 32bits firefox2 downloaded from the official site doesnt connect to any sites? 64 bits firefox runs fine though
[02:20] <soundray> mahdi: no... have you tried installing the firefox package by Kilz?
[02:20] <mahdi> soundray: yep. Same issue
[02:21] <A3n> soundray:it looks like this : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35773/ now

[02:22] <A3n> soundray: after "nano /etc/hosts" ?
[02:22] <soundray> A3n: no, you've made all the necessary changes. Boot into ubuntu normally and see if you can sudo
[02:22] <A3n> soundray: so no recovery mode right?
[02:22] <VigoFusion> And whoever had a SendMail error, this one may help,,also has Install Guides for stuff, http://tldp.org/LDP/LG/current/
[02:22] <damageDOn1> Does anyone know how to move mail from evolution on one machine to another evolution on another machine?
[02:23] <A3n> k
[02:23] <soundray> A3n: yes, that's right. Recovery mode would have been for editing /etc/hosts, which you have already done.
[02:23] <Trini_Man> copy the .evoloution
[02:23] <Trini_Man> in your home dir
[02:23] <inam> hi all... im getting "i/o error - error reading boot cd" when i try to run live cd of ubuntu edgy. i tried burning the cd in a friends drive and also burning it at 4x. still doesnt work. same error. can someone help? thanks :)
[02:24] <damageDOn1> trini_man: I tried to tar the .evolution folder and it turned out empty
[02:24] <Trini_Man> humm
[02:24] <soundray> damageDOn1: what tar command did you use?
[02:24] <Trini_Man> i did that many times and it worked fr me
[02:24] <mista> ok i have to nic in one machine i want another to run thought my two nic machine to my ISC wht should i be looking up?
[02:24] <kleftisx> hello how can i play WMV movies on ubuntu?
[02:25] <edubezval> Hello all, I'm facing a problem with the linux-image-2.6.17-10-386 package. I was using dapper, and updated to edgy... but now, every time I use apt/dpkg, it claims about this package. It can't find a correct tool to generate the initrd image. Does somebody already faced this problem?
[02:25] <damageDOn1> trini_man: I can try copying the folder without compression

[02:25] <Trini_Man> yeah i
[02:25] <random`entity> inam: i used to be getting that for every computer i try for a few months.. before 6.10 came out. yesterday i tried again with the latest version, and it worked fine.
[02:25] <random`entity> ok. hello. anyone familiar with xdm around?
[02:25] <soundray> damageDOn1: only copy $HOME/.evolution/mail -- otherwise you'll be copying the calendar, addressbook... everything
[02:25] <Trini_Man> use VLC to play windoes media files
[02:26] <inam> random`entity: you mean i should download a new iso file and try ? btw, the md5 checks out fine
[02:26] <soundray> inam: have you used *any* boot CD successfully with this drive?
[02:26] <random`entity> inam: nope, the file is not corrupted. i re-downloaded several times too. you might want to try a different version.
[02:27] <soundray> inam: it could just be a dirty laser lens
[02:27] <random`entity> anyway..
[02:27] <random`entity> i'm trying to get background images in xdm.
[02:27] <Trini_Man> thats odd i never had trouble copying my evoloution mail
[02:27] <random`entity> have been working on it for a few hours with no success.
[02:27] <damageDOn1> soundray: whoops I just started copying everything... oh well
[02:27] <random`entity> any recommendation?
[02:28] <Manstein> Anybody : patch -p1 < wine-wow-fixes.patch doesn't patch, it forces me to choose between 2 files
[02:28] <Manstein> and then fails to patch them :S
[02:28] <VigoFusion> kleftisxc: you can get an 'ugly plug' or a friendly one from Synaptic Package Manager that works in Totem
[02:28] <damageDOn1> Does the same thing work with firefox for bookmarks?
[02:28] <inam> soundray, do you mean "created boot cd" or "booted using boot cd"... this is the first time i am creating one, but ive booted several times dapper CD
[02:28] <random`entity> i use shell command in Xsetup and Xsession file to run qiv -z (draw to root window and quit)
[02:28] <Trini_Man> damageDOn1 : yes
[02:28] <random`entity> it simply doesn't show up.

[02:31] <Trini_Man> WOW i now check and i have like 27 updates this morning

[02:35] <soundray> random`entity: did you pass a full path and filename as argument to -bitmap?
[02:35] <mwe> it's hard to find out on google if linux has good support for extarnal dvd writers or not
[02:36] <random`entity> soundray: yep. xsetroot -bitmap '/usr/share/xfce4/backdrops/blah-blah.png'
[02:37] <kleinlappies> is there a vob2avi converter for linux?
[02:37] <soundray> mwe: if you're buying one just for reading, any one should be okay. If you're buying a (re)writer, the chances of success are still high.

[02:45] <Terminus> damageDOn1: kilall -9 firefox-bin
[02:45] <soundray> damageDOn1: if you've tried to transfer a .mozilla directory, it isn't really running.
[02:45] <w3ccv> damageDOn1, killall firefox-bin
[02:45] <Terminus> killall i mean.
[02:45] <abhay> Is there any graphical bandwidth monitor available for GNOME?
[02:46] <damageDOn1> Wow thanks everyone... but your all saying different things
[02:46] <soundray> damageDOn1: it's best to run the old firefox installation, export the bookmarks, and import them into the new ones.
[02:46] <abhay> something like knemo for KDE http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=12956
[02:46] <puk_jp> abhay try gkrellm
[02:46] <soundray> damageDOn1: then redo all the settings -- they aren't worth trying to transfer old-to-new.
[02:46] <abhay> puk_jp: i want something that can be docked in system tray
[02:47] <rconan> can anyone help me with a grub error 17 after installing ubuntu?
[02:47] <rconan> i tried reinstalling grub but doesnt help
[02:47] <frying_fish> abhay: the system monitor has an applet that can do network traffic
[02:47] <soundray> abhay: try the system monitor applet. It can be configured to show network usage
[02:48] <damageDOn1> soundray: I copied across home/old_home/.mozilla/firefox/blahblah.default into home/new_home/.mozilla/firefox/
[02:48] <Hattori> rconan: I had it olso... It turned out to be from incorect partitioning...
[02:48] <netman> hi, somebody with this problem after update to edgy:  first attempt to login on gdm fails
[02:48] <abhay> thanks i will just check it out :-)
[02:48] <strappisUbuntu> ciao a tutti
[02:49] <rconan> Hattori: what was incorrect about it?
[02:49] <damageDOn1> soundray: I tried using killall -9 firefox-bin and I'm still getting the same message
[02:49] <soundray> damageDOn1: I would recommend you to 'rm -rf /home/new_home/.mozilla/firefox' and to set up a fresh firefox configuration.
[02:49] <soundray> damageDOn1: it happens because it's confused by that old config directory
[02:49] <abhay> will system monitor keep statistics for the data transfer as well? like daily, weekly, monthly etc?
[02:49] <omar> how can I know the vertion of my nfs
[02:50] <Hattori> rconan: Some damage to partition, after format... I suspect that program from begining of installation...
[02:50] <dthacker> I'm working with a team on a free project that's unlikely to make the deadline for Debian Etch.  Does Ubuntu accept apps that are not part of the last Debian release?
[02:50] <soundray> damageDOn1: it takes ages to sort out, longer than you need to reconfigure.
[02:50] <edubezval> hey guys, does somebody know how to fix the "Failed to find suitable ramdisk generation tool" problem?
[02:50] <dbe> WWhat does Ubunutu use instead of apt-setup to select location for respositories?
[02:50] <thefish> abhay: if you want data transfer stats, install ntop
[02:50] <hyakuhei> dthacker: of course it does
[02:50] <AndreNoel> anyone knows who admins the @ubuntu.com mails?
[02:50] <hyakuhei> dthacker: #ubuntu-motu
[02:50] <random`entity> hmph.. xsetroot keeps giving me 'bad bitmap format file'...
[02:50] <dbe> Anyone?
[02:50] <Hattori> rconan: Try format with Partition Magic first...
[02:50] <abhay> thefish: i have heard that ntop is very CPU intensive. Is that true?
[02:51] <dthacker> hyakuhei: thanks!
[02:51] <thefish> abhay: i have not found that no, and it gives VERY detailed stats about transfers
[02:51] <damageDOn1> soundray: I did rm the old ??????.default folder
[02:51] <rconan> Hattori: partition magic requires money
[02:51] <damageDOn1> But it's still confused
[02:51] <dthacker> abhay: it will may show up among your top processes, but it's not going to bog your cpu
[02:52] <thefish> abhay: may be overkill for you if you just want to know that you have downloaded X Mb
[02:52] <abhay> oh thats great...then i will install that :)
[02:52] <abhay> thefish: oh
[02:52] <abhay> so is there any small applet like thing available?
[02:53] <Hattori> rconan: I know... but something like it i don't really know righ now... I mean professional.
[02:53] <soundray> rconan: Partition Magic is a *waste* of money
[02:53] <abhay> I just want how much I downloaded in a month to keep under my bandwidth limit
[02:53] <rconan> soundray: i totally agree
[02:53] <Hattori> soundray: Why you say that?
[02:53] <soundray> rconan: how did you get into this error 17 situation?
[02:53] <rconan> it happened when i first reboot after install
[02:54] <soundray> Hattori: because parted is a better program that is free and libre
[02:54] <soundray> rconan: you said that reinstalling grub didn't help -- how did you do the reinstall?
[02:55] <Hattori> soundray: I agree, but somethimes make errors like that one...
[02:55] <fromvega> Hello
[02:55] <ShereKhan> Hello
[02:55] <soundray> Hattori: PM sometimes wastes entire hard disks
[02:55] <rconan> soundray:
[02:55] <rconan> grub
[02:55] <rconan> root (hd0,1)
[02:55] <rconan> setup (hd0)
[02:55] <soundray> Magic indeed
[02:55] <rconan> could the problem be to do with having a separate boot partition?
[02:56] <soundray> rconan: do you know the device name of your separate boot partition?
[02:56] <Eclypse> does edgy boot up faster then dapper?
[02:56] <soundray> Eclypse: a little bit
[02:56] <rconan> soundray: (hd0,1) or /dev/hda2
[02:57] <Eclypse> soundray I hear it uses upstart now, which is what OSX uses, and OSX boots in around 10 seconds.
[02:57] <soundray> rconan: is there a directory grub in there, boot/grub or both?
[02:57] <soundray> Eclypse: I don't believe upstart is what OSX uses, and my OSX takes much longer to boot than edgy
[02:58] <Eclypse> soundray really? lol ok, then it must be much faster then dapper
[02:58] <Eclypse> soundray I hate waiting 40 seconds for it to boot, its really irritating
[02:58] <Eclypse> soundray and I have a pretty fast laptop, too
[02:58] <soundray> Eclypse: i.e. longer than 10 seconds, more like a minute (OSX on PPC Mac mini)
[02:59] <fromvega> I configuring a proxy for a network. Which is better, to use the adsl modem as router or to use the same machine that is running the proxy as router?
[02:59] <Eclypse> soundray, I ran it on my laptop
[02:59] <Eclypse> soundray and it booted in 10 seconds
[02:59] <fromvega> s/I/I'm
[02:59] <A[D] minS> is there GUI to configure grub ?
[02:59] <rconan> soundray: yes there is a grub directory in there and there is a symlink called boot to .
[02:59] <dcordes> does anybody know a good guide on howto setup a dyndns client?
[02:59] <random`entity> ok. gave up. i can live with a solid background ):
[02:59] <random`entity> another question though
[02:59] <Eclypse> soundray and my laptop is a 1.6GHz Pentium M, 512MB of RAM, Mobility Radeon X300 PCIe 64MB dedicated.
[02:59] <random`entity> usplash doesn't work for me; keeps giving me "No usable theme found for 640x480"
[03:00] <soundray> rconan: okay, so that's all correct. What filesystem do you have on (hd0,1)?
[03:00] <rconan> ext2
[03:00] <rconan> and reiserfs on the root
[03:00] <umgan> i have a question about how to re-mount a newly formatted drive
[03:00] <random`entity> looks like it's even been filed as a bug. any workaround?
[03:00] <rconan> soundray: could it be loading the wrong stage 1.5 ?
[03:01] <aiduciukas> Hi! I have one problem, when I want to choose other window, I need to press on windows titlebar, in windows I can press anywhere on window to activate it. How to do this on ubuntu 6.10?
[03:01] <soundray> random`entity: create a theme for that resolution?
[03:01] <omar> Hi guys, I need some help , I am tryingt to mount a folder between debians but i get this error "mount: RPC: Authentication error; why = Failed (unspecified error)"
[03:01] <soundray> rconan: I can't imagine that
[03:01] <rconan> ie the reiserfs one somehow?
[03:01] <random`entity> there isn't one for 640x480? c'mon!
[03:01] <random`entity> https://launchpad.net/bugs/60621
[03:01] <soundray> rconan: you have another /boot/ in the reiserfs?
[03:01] <Eclypse> soundray, I'm on dialup and planning ti upgrade to edgy, its a pain though, lol
[03:01] <random`entity> Screen init fails. String of code. But system eventually boots anyway. <<
[03:01] <soundray> rconan: oh, of course, you must have it as a mountpoint
[03:02] <rconan> soundray: yes but it is only there as a mountpoint for the ext2
[03:02] <JaXxon> Hi, can anyone help on compiz install?
[03:02] <umgan> i logged in as root, unmounted a partition and formatted it to ext3 with gparted....EE isnt letting me remount the partition now...any thoughts?
[03:02] <Eclypse> jaxxon #ubuntu-xgl
[03:02] <soundray> rconan: can you run an e2fsck on hda2 from a live CD or so?
[03:03] <JaXxon> thanx Eclypse
[03:03] <rconan> soundray: i just did and it made no errors
[03:03] <rconan> soundray: even forcing the test
[03:03] <soundray> rconan: it's very weird. Error 17 means it doesn't recognize the filesystem on the partition
[03:03] <rconan> i know
[03:04] <Randakar> umgan: EE?
[03:04] <aiduciukas> Hi! I have one problem, when I want to choose other window, I need to press on windows titlebar, in windows I can press anywhere on window to activate it. How to do this on ubuntu 6.10?
[03:04] <rconan> which is why i suggested the wrong stage 1.5
[03:04] <umgan> edgy eft
[03:04] <SniZ> can somebody help me with Nvidia drivers? i try all what i can found on howtos... my log here http://rafb.net/paste/results/rYlC0G75.html
[03:04] <dcordes> guide on dyndns anybody?
[03:04] <Tomcat_> aiduciukas: Should work absolutely the same.... click on the window to activate it.
[03:04] <Randakar> !nvidia | sniz
[03:04] <ubotu> sniz: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:04] <rconan> soundray: does grub require the boot flag to be on any particular partition?
[03:04] <umgan> randakar: just saying i'm using 6.10...i'm a bit of a nub to linux still
[03:04] <hilbert94> Hello! How can I find out what version of Ubuntu I'm using?
[03:04] <Randakar> SniZ: got that one?
[03:04] <SniZ> Randakar, i try this
[03:04] <soundray> rconan: perhaps you should try to sideline your boot partition for now and copy the file contents into the reiser /boot/, then reconfigure grub with (hd0,0) or whatever your root partition is.
[03:05] <aiduciukas> Tomcat_, yes I know that it SHOULD but it isn't
[03:05] <Tomcat_> hilbert94: lsb_release in terminal
[03:05] <SniZ> Randakar, but i cant startx
[03:05] <soundray> rconan: no, grub completely ignores boot flags
[03:05] <rconan> soundray: the root is /dev/hda7 which doesnt have a grub device does it?
[03:05] <Randakar> umgan: so 'mount /dev/hdX /partition' doesn't work?
[03:05] <omar> Hi guys, I need some help , I am tryingt to mount a folder between debians but i get this error "mount: RPC: Authentication error; why = Failed (unspecified error)"
[03:05] <Tomcat_> hilbert94: lsb_release -a
[03:05] <emanuele11> HI everybody! i have a problem: my *ubuntu edgy, every time I use a multimedia program, it chrashes "Arts Error: cpu overload , aborting." What should I do?
[03:06] <hilbert94> Tomcat_: Thank you very much.
[03:06] <soundray> rconan: of course it does: (hd0,6) (confirm with 'geometry (hd0)'
[03:06] <soundray> )
[03:06] <umgan> randakar: not sure honestly ive only tried right clicking it and choosing mount (it says its not a removable drive)
[03:06] <aiduciukas> Tomcat_, any other ideas?
[03:06] <hilbert94> I didn't know this before. In debian I just know /etc/debian_version
[03:06] <rconan> soundray: i thought grub couldnt handle extended partitions
[03:06] <Tomcat_> aiduciukas: Not really... I've never seen such an error.
[03:06] <danieloster91> wendig
[03:07] <glaz> my numeric keypad isnt working even on numlock, any idea?
[03:07] <soundray> rconan: quite fortunately, you thought wrong ;)
[03:07] <Randakar> umgan: I'm afraid you'll have to start a terminal and try doing it from there first
[03:07] <aiduciukas> Tomcat_, it allways worked but suddenly it don't wanna to work
[03:07] <Tomcat_> hilbert94: You can also use "About Ubuntu" in the menus
[03:07] <soundray> rconan: I only ever install Linux to extended partitions these days...
[03:08] <umgan> randakar: sure 1 sec i'll give it a shot
[03:08] <soundray> rconan: there /may/ be situations where grub has difficulty accessing partitions beyond a certain offset from the "beginning" of the disk space, but this is becoming rare.
[03:08] <Randakar> SniZ: EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module!
[03:09] <rconan> soundray: its an old machine
[03:09] <rconan> could it be that?
[03:09] <Randakar> SniZ: Sounds like you need to install the linux-restricted-modules package
[03:09] <emanuele11> so...
[03:09] <soundray> rconan: I don't think so, but use the geometry command to see if it reports anything
[03:10] <SniZ> Randakar, wait. i try
[03:10] <soundray> rconan: and do try the move of your current boot to the root partition -- there's no risk involved (beyond the obvious stupid mistakes that we all make from time to time)
[03:10] <random`entity> ok, stupidity on my part; didn't know i need to update initramfs :P
[03:10] <random`entity> thxs a lot, ttyl
[03:10] <rconan> soundray: im just trying that now
[03:11] <SniZ> Randakar, if i use i686 kernel, it cant load modules for i386?
[03:11] <umgan> randakar: i think the drive is at dev/hda1 so the correct line would be "mount dev/hda1"?
[03:11] <Randakar> SniZ: possibly
[03:11] <sergevn> Hello, does anyone has any experience running xubuntu on a Pentium 3 with 477 Mhz?
[03:11] <SniZ> Randakar, wait. i try
[03:11] <sergevn> or anything around 477Mhz
[03:12] <Randakar> umgan: 'sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hda /some_place_in_your_filesystem_tree'
[03:12] <dthacker> sergevn: 650 Mhz
[03:12] <soundray> sergevn: no, but I've got xubuntu on a Celeron 300
[03:12] <goose> what's the word on the new xserver updates for edgy?
[03:12] <goose> any problems?
[03:12] <Randakar> umgan: 'sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /some_place_in_your_filesystem_tree'
[03:12] <linux1> goose not had any problem yet
[03:13] <jackbear> Good Morning what is the antivirus of preference for Ubuntu?
[03:13] <soundray> sergevn: you still need good amounts of RAM -- I've 192MB on that machine and it runs well enough
[03:13] <soundray> !virus | jackbear
[03:13] <ubotu> jackbear: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[03:13] <Randakar> !virus | jackbear
[03:13] <goose> linux1: thanks
[03:13] <sergevn> soundray, ok i think that is my problem then, i only have 64meg of ram
[03:14] <soundray> sergevn: can you get your hands on some extra RAM? Shouldn't be too expensive these days...
[03:14] <linux1> sergevn there an alternate cd from the ubuntu site for pc with under 192mb ram
[03:14] <umgan> randakar: thanks so much that did the trick...however i dont have permissions to write to the drive anymore
[03:15] <Randakar> umgan: you'll need to add the partition to your /etc/fstab file
[03:15] <sergevn> soundray, yep. I already ordered them on my work ( i work in a local hardware store) got 2 rigs of 256mb of ram for like 60 euro
[03:15] <Randakar> umgan: then possibly add some options to it
[03:15] <soundray> linux1: that won't help sergevn since he's already settled for xubuntu
[03:15] <jackbear> thanks
[03:15] <sergevn> soundray, what do you mean?
[03:15] <J4kch> Hey guys, I just downloaded an .iso. How do I mount it?
[03:16] <umgan> randakar: i had a friend help me with this once before...he used the terminal to open a gui window as the root and i changed the permissions easily from there
[03:16] <soundray> sergevn: the alternate install CD won't be of any use to you
[03:16] <dthacker> soundray: is the alternate install CD only for Unbuntu, and not for Kunbuntu/Xbuntu?
[03:16] <sergevn> soundray, ah yes. what window manager does that alternate cd have?
[03:16] <Randakar> umgan: you can try running 'gksudo nautilus' I suppose
[03:16] <emanuele11> J4kch:  sudo mount -o loop xxx.iso /where/you/want
[03:17] <Randakar> umgan: but that command you ran (mount) isn't permanent, it will go away again when you reboot
[03:17] <JackPhil> i changed /etc/usplash.conf
[03:17] <J4kch> emanuele11: Thanks a bunch!
[03:17] <soundray> sergevn: it's for installing the non-graphical way -- it still provides a full gnome install with metacity by default
[03:17] <JackPhil> should i do something else to make it effect?
[03:17] <sergevn> ah ok
[03:18] <umgan> randakar: ahh ok...so to make it permanent i need to add it to fstab?
[03:18] <Randakar> umgan: so adding a line to /etc/fstab is recommended in any case.
[03:18] <Randakar> umgan: Yes. That file is pretty straightforward.
[03:18] <sergevn> soundray, i need the desktop environment, because it's on my laptop ( IBM Thinkpad 390x), doing light office work on it.
[03:18] <sergevn> soundray, only CLI wont do
[03:18] <linux1> sergevn you could use that cd then install xbuntu de afterwards
[03:19] <soundray> sergevn: (dthacker, linux1) I take it all back -- there is an alternate Xubuntu install CD that works on machines with 64MB (http://www.xubuntu.org/get)
[03:19] <umgan> randakar i'll give it a try 1 sec
[03:19] <Randakar> ( well, straightforward .. have a look at this: )
[03:19] <Randakar> UUID=43CB-EFF7 /mnt/e vfat auto,exec,nouser,noatime,nodev,nosuid,async,gid=users
[03:19] <Randakar> ,dmask=002,fmask=113 0 0
[03:19] <linux1> hehe
[03:19] <emanuele11> bye!
[03:19] <ndlovu> is there any application in ubuntu that I can use to view multiple page tiff files?
[03:20] <Randakar> umgan: but most of the options come directly from the manual page for mount: 'man mount'
[03:20] <soundray> sergevn: "alternate" install means that only the installer is nongraphical. It still installs Gnome, Xfce or KDE, respectively
[03:20] <ndlovu> I have a virtual fax service that sends me faxes in tiff format. the only application I've been able to use so far is the gimp, and that requires a lot of effort!
[03:21] <J4kch> How do I un-mount the iso now?
[03:21] <soundray> !libtiff-tools | ndlovu
[03:21] <ubotu> libtiff-tools: TIFF manipulation and conversion tools. In component main, is optional. Version 3.8.2-6 (edgy), package size 166 kB, installed size 488 kB
[03:21] <Randakar> J4kch: same as mount, but use 'unmount'
[03:22] <soundray> !netpbm | ndlovu
[03:22] <ubotu> netpbm: Graphics conversion tools. In component main, is optional. Version 2:10.0-10.1 (edgy), package size 1129 kB, installed size 4028 kB
[03:22] <sergevn> soundray, hmm i had that problem, that it would install with the 'normal' ubuntu disc, then i tried the xubuntu and that worked.
[03:22] <J4kch> Randakar: Thanks
[03:22] <sergevn> soundray, *would not
[03:22] <Randakar> J4kch: sorry, 'umount'
[03:22] <soundray> sergevn: oh, so you did manage to install Xubuntu? I misread your first question then.
[03:23] <J4kch> Randakar: Alright, cool
[03:23] <sergevn> soundray, yes :D, im running it now atm. but with crappy memory :P
[03:23] <soundray> sergevn: well, the 256MB you're getting will remove that bottleneck.
[03:23] <sergevn> soundray, 2x256 :D
[03:24] <soundray> sergevn: all the better ;)
[03:24] <umgan> randakar: before i formatted the drive i was able to view it as ntfs...the info for that drive is still in fstab...i mounted it to the same point so all i shoudl need to change would be the file system type?
[03:25] <sergevn> soundray, well im off, thanks for the help :)
[03:25] <Randakar> umgan: yep
[03:25] <b_52Free> i can not authentify true the web interface of cups , i use my root name + account ? , should i use something else ?
[03:25] <Randakar> umgan: well, some of the options may no longer work
[03:25] <soundray> b_52Free: try your regular username and pass
[03:25] <SniZ> Pyromancer, still no work
[03:26] <SniZ> but not found nvidia.o

[03:26] <Randakar> umgan: when you're done, use 'umount /dev/hda1' and 'mount -a' to see if it worked
[03:26] <SniZ> i dont understand why shi down work

Or has even an idea  how to fixx?
[03:28] <Randakar> SniZ: can you do a "aptitude search restricted-modules | grep -e '^i A'" ?
[03:28] <soundray> Mandawar: try 'sudo apt-get install build-essential', then 'make' again (und wo bitte ist Koetschlitz ;)
[03:29] <SniZ> Randakar, i install all modules
[03:29] <SniZ> for all arc
[03:29] <Randakar> SniZ: or just 'aptitude install linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-10'
[03:29] <Randakar> SniZ: that was not my question
[03:29] <umgan> randakar: sigh it says /dev/hda1 is not in the fstab lol
[03:29] <Randakar> SniZ: The error you're getting suggests the install you did didn't work somehow
[03:30] <Randakar> umgan: what if you type 'grep /dev/hda1 /etc/fstab' - do you get output?
[03:30] <GingerDog> hi; when will breezy drop out of support?
[03:30] <umgan> randkar: # /dev/hda1
[03:30] <SniZ> Randakar, i use edgy

[03:31] <ubotu> GingerDog: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Website/LifeCycle
[03:31] <Randakar> SniZ: still no guarantee you have that package installed ..
[03:31] <GingerDog> ubotu: cheers
[03:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cheers - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[03:31] <basti_> Hi, I have a prob with Ubuntu :( : I try to compile pftp... before I installed apt-get install make, apt-get install g++ but if i compile it with make static, oder make dynamic there occur lots of errors: http://www.phpfi.com/182292       Could someone help me?!  Or has even an idea  how to fixx?
[03:32] <soundray> basti_: why aren't you listening to what I told you?
[03:32] <Randakar> basti_: did you install build-essential ?
[03:32] <Kawaii-Panda> how do i list all the installed video card drivers in my pc?
[03:32] <basti> i was disconnected... thatswhy i cant read
[03:32] <soundray> basti: try 'sudo apt-get install build-essential', then 'make' again (und wo bitte ist Koetschlitz ;)
[03:33] <Kawaii-Panda> i installed the nvidia card package and now i need to know what it is called, nv, nvidia, how can i list them all?
[03:33] <basti> Nhe Leipzig ;)
[03:33] <SniZ> Randakar, i try "aptitude install linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-10", but not found this
[03:33] <rconan> soundray: i get error 18 with that partition
[03:33] <Randakar> Kawaii-Panda: aptitude search xserver-xorg | grep -e '^i A'
[03:33] <umgan> randakar: yeah thats all i got
[03:33] <rconan> i think my boot partition must cross the boundary of what my bios can read
[03:34] <Randakar> Kawaii-Panda: nv is the xorg builtin driver, 'nvidia' i the binary package one
[03:34] <rconan> looks like a have to reinstall with a small boot partition on (hd0,0)
[03:34] <soundray> rconan: "Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS" -- dang, you ran into the problem that I told you was rare...
[03:34] <Randakar> umgan: ok, that line is a comment
[03:34] <basti> was bewirkt dieses build-essentials genau?
[03:35] <soundray> basti: stick to English in here
[03:35] <KenSentMe> Does anyone know if i can get a list of the cli commands i used in the last week or longer?
[03:35] <Randakar> umgan: the line directly below it is where that partition was originally mounted. It should start with 'UUID='
[03:35] <rconan> soundray: if i put a small  boot partition on (hd0,0) that should work should it not
[03:35] <soundray> basti: it's a metapackage that installs some headers for compiling stuff
[03:35] <basti> kk
[03:35] <basti> ah ok, thanks
[03:35] <basti> englisch freak ^^
[03:35] <soundray> rconan: yes
[03:35] <umgan> randakar: right thats the line where i changed the file system from ntfs to ext3
[03:35] <Randakar> umgan: if you look at the output at 'ls -ld /dev/disk/by-uuid/*' you'll get a list of all drives and the corresponding UUID values
[03:35] <soundray> rconan: but then your /dev/hda2 *should* have worked, too...
[03:36] <soundray> rconan: maybe there is a deeper misunderstanding between grub and your BIOS
[03:36] <basti> there are still errors soundray :(
[03:36] <basti> i upload em
[03:36] <umgan> randakar: ok i have that
[03:36] <umgan> randakar: oh hmm that drive isnt showing up
[03:36] <Randakar> umgan: urgh
[03:37] <Randakar> umgan: ok, as a workaround you can change 'UUID=oiajsdfh' with /dev/hda1 for now
[03:37] <will__> guys
[03:37] <will__> Xchat is shite
[03:37] <will__> :p
[03:37] <soundray> Randakar: (hrm, master slave jumpers?)
[03:37] <will__> any other IRC clients worth a shot?
[03:37] <lesshaste> I am trying to get skype to work and volume from the mic seems very low (when the skype woman plays it back to me).  I thought there should be a "mic boost" setting somewhere but I can't find it.. any idea how to fix this?
[03:37] <basti> soundray: http://www.phpfi.com/182305
[03:37] <umgan> randakar: so replace the UUID in the fstab file w/ /dev/hda1 ?
[03:38] <soundray> will__: no. xchat-gnome is the be-all and end-all.
[03:38] <will__> soundray: sarcasm granted
[03:38] <will__> any suggestions?
[03:38] <Randakar> umgan: make it something like '/dev/hda1 /place_in_filesystem ext3 ...'
[03:38] <Randakar> soundray: nah, umgan just reformatted a partition to ext3
[03:39] <QwertyM> will__, why? I like it :D You can try irssi for terminal though, there is also a ircii around. Plus GAIM and Kopete support IRC too
[03:39] <umgan> randakar: here is my current line btw "UUID=528C1C338C1C1457 /media/hda1     ext3    defaults,tnls=uf8,umask=007,gid=46 0       1"
[03:40] <Randakar> umgan: what does  ls -ld /dev/disk/by-uuid/528C1C338C1C1457 say?
[03:40] <will__> yeah I know
[03:40] <will__> it's just that it's not easy to configure the GUI for it
[03:40] <soundray> basti: you need the -dev versions of all the libraries that pftp depends on
[03:40] <umgan> randakar: no such file or directory
[03:40] <kanedaddy> hi
[03:40] <will__> I like to have a user list displayed all the time
[03:40] <Randakar> umgan: check, the UUID changed alright
[03:40] <soundray> mandawar: stop renaming yourself, that's rude
[03:40] <mandawar> sorry
[03:40] <mandawar> ^^
[03:41] <umgan> randakar: so we need to find the new UUID and put it in the fstab file?
[03:41] <soundray> mandawar: what is this pftp good for anyway?
[03:41] <kanedaddy> dunno
[03:41] <mandawar> was because of registering, basti as already regisrtered 2 some1 else ^^
[03:41] <robban> How do I add my openvpn config to networkmanager after installing the openvpn plugin
[03:41] <mandawar> its an ftp client
[03:41] <Randakar> umgan: ls -ld /dev/disk/by-uuid/* | grep hda1
[03:41] <mandawar> with ncurse gui
[03:41] <robban> The GUI was a bit hard to understand
[03:41] <Randakar> umgan: if the kernel has it, that should find it. Otherwise it may not show up until reboot I guess
[03:41] <umgan> randakar: no output
[03:41] <soundray> mandawar: I like ncftp
[03:41] <mandawar> soundray, how I get the -dev versions?
[03:42] <mandawar> before i had lftp
[03:42] <umgan> randakar: i'll reboot real quick and see what happens brb
[03:42] <Randakar> umgan: yeah, ok. So just replace UUID=blah with /dev/hda1 then
[03:42] <mandawar> best would be one where u can download folders and sufolder automatically and a queue function would be PERFECT
[03:42] <mandawar> ^^
[03:43] <soundray> mandawar: let's say you need libncurses5. The runtime library is called just that, the developer library is libncurses5-dev
[03:43] <Randakar> mandawar: try apt-get build-dep <package> to get all the build dependencies
[03:43] <soundray> mandawar: so 'sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev'
[03:43] <soundray> Randakar: you every heard of pftp?
[03:43] <Randakar> soundray: proftpd perhaps?
[03:44] <Randakar> soundray: I just threw my last ftp server out when I realized filezilla does FTP over SSH ;-)
[03:44] <soundray> !pftp | mandawar
[03:44] <ubotu> pftp: Fast file transfer program (no authentication!). In component universe, is optional. Version 1.1.6-4 (edgy), package size 90 kB, installed size 244 kB
[03:44] <redjulius> hello
[03:44] <soundray> Randakar: thanks, found it (just blind...)
[03:44] <Randakar> soundray: hehe :-)
[03:44] <soundray> mandawar: there you go, it's in the repos. No need to compile.
[03:45] <QwertyM> will__, Doesnt XChat have a user list all the time?
[03:45] <will__> QwertyM: nope, not for me
[03:45] <QwertyM> will__, Dont use the X-Chat-Gnome, get the actual XChat
[03:45] <will__> ah right :)
[03:45] <will__> brb then :>
[03:45] <soundray> mandawar: have you lost it again?
[03:45] <QwertyM> sudo apt-get install xchat :)
[03:46] <umgan> randakar: well it failed on that drive before bootup
[03:46] <mandawar> lost what?
[03:46] <sam1982> Someone please help me, im trying to install a file i downloaded and i dont know how, ive asked the chinese rooms and they are the most unhelpful people i have ever met and even one of them wants me to give him money
[03:46] <sam1982> money
[03:46] <sam1982> i dont know what to do ...
[03:46] <umgan> randakar: it made a log file i'm going to read it
[03:46] <soundray> mandawar: just wondering why you aren't responding any more.
[03:46] <mandawar> i try to get all the dependencies for the compilation ^^
[03:47] <umgan> randakar: the log just says that it us unable to resolve the UUID
[03:47] <soundray> mandawar: was I making sense about the -dev packages and the native ubuntu version?
[03:47] <soundray> mandawar: why compile when you can install it from the repositories?
[03:47] <mandawar> because cant be, that only ncurse is missing, because the compiler doesnt know even simple ... befehle ^^
[03:47] <soundray> mandawar: why compile when you can install it from the repositories?
[03:47] <mandawar> i cant get pftp from repos
[03:47] <sam1982> Someone please help me, im trying to install a file i downloaded and i dont know how, ive asked the chinese rooms and they are the most unhelpful people i have ever met and even one of them wants me to give him money
[03:48] <Randakar> umgan: hm, not really sure where it stores the UUID or where it generates it, for that matter
[03:48] <mandawar> because its a special version i got... On FC4 i was able 2 compile
[03:48] <erUSUL> sam1982: what are you trying to install
[03:48] <erUSUL> ?
[03:48] <Randakar> umgan: like I said, simply replacing UUID=blah with /dev/hda1 should do the trick for the short term though
[03:48] <soundray> mandawar: how about 'apt-get build-dep pftp' then?
[03:48] <sam1982> erUSUL Luma
[03:49] <sam1982> its a chinese software   but the idea is the same as Gaim.
[03:49] <lesshaste> is there some way of increasing the mic volume level? Both audacity and skype record things at an almost inaudible level
[03:49] <SupremacyGnu> Hey, I'm having problem to run Frostwire and Azureus. Both are java applications so I was thinking there might be a problem with my java. Reinstalled java, still it won't start. Thanks
[03:49] <Ash-Fox> Yes
[03:49] <sam1982> erUSUL i have a tar file on my desktop but i cant get it to install..
[03:49] <mandawar> hmm... cannot get this idea if i dont know the... befehl ^^
[03:49] <erUSUL> sam1982: what type of file you dled?
[03:50] <Randakar> SupremacyGnu: tried running azureus from a terminal?
[03:50] <sam1982> lumaqq_2006M2-linux_gtk2_x86_no_jre.tar.gz  <  this type
[03:50] <erUSUL> sam1982: open a terminal and go to ~/Desktop/
[03:50] <Ash-Fox> lesshaste, I believe theres that 20db+ microphone boost option you can enable.
[03:50] <mandawar> WHOHOOOO!!!
[03:50] <soundray> SupremacyGnu: they tend to rely on /bin/sh being linked to /bin/bash (edgy default is /bin/dash)
[03:50] <mandawar> It works with the ncurse libs :)
[03:50] <Ash-Fox> lesshaste, unfortunately I don't remember how todo that in Gnome, I know how todo it with kmix though (KDE application)
[03:50] <sam1982> ok
[03:50] <SupremacyGnu> tobbe@dammburk:~$ azureus
[03:50] <SupremacyGnu> exec: 40: java: not found
[03:50] <SupremacyGnu> tobbe@dammburk:~$ frostwire
[03:50] <SupremacyGnu> runFrost.sh: 44: Syntax error: "(" unexpected (expecting "}")
[03:50] <SupremacyGnu> tobbe@dammburk:~$
[03:50] <umgan> randakar: ok i'll do that
[03:51] <lesshaste> Ash-Fox, I have kmix but don't see this option
[03:51] <will__> ah ha :)
[03:51] <erUSUL> SupremacyGnu: if you want sh to link to bash do 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash'
[03:51] <will__> much much better :>
[03:51] <will__> QwertyM, thanks very much bud :)
[03:51] <will__> mmm
[03:51] <will__> having probs getting WoW to update
[03:51] <QwertyM> will__, np
[03:51] <QwertyM> World of Wow ? :p
[03:52] <will__> I can log in fine, but once the updater starts running, it ain't downloading anything :E
[03:52] <will__> yes indeed
[03:52] <Ash-Fox> lesshaste, okay, open kmix -> switches -> microphone boost
[03:52] <umgan> randakar: once thats done i remount the drive?
[03:52] <sam1982> erUSUL  what do i do next dude?  do you know ?
[03:52] <SupremacyGnu> erUSUL, sorry, don't get it. I'm a beginner linux user.
[03:52] <Ash-Fox> !wow
[03:52] <ubotu> Information about games on Ubuntu can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php and ubuntugames.org
[03:53] <soundray> SupremacyGnu: run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash' in a terminal and answer No to the question
[03:53] <umgan> randakar: what woudl be there command for that? mount /dev/hda1 /media/storage ?
[03:53] <erUSUL> sam1982: tar xf yourfile.tar.gz
[03:53] <Randakar> umgan: just run 'mount -a' and it should happen automatically
[03:53] <Randakar> umgan: mount -a mounts everything in /etc/fstab
[03:54] <sam1982> erUSUL whats tat
[03:54] <Randakar> will__: I just updated it in windows, then run from the same partition - in linux ;-)
[03:54] <SupremacyGnu> soundray, ok, still don't work. Hm, seems as if it won't detect my java at all. Because when I type 'java' nothing happends, trying to install it again with easyubuntu
[03:54] <erUSUL> sam1982: a comand do 'tar xf lumaqq_2006M2-linux_gtk2_x86_no_jre.tar.gz'
[03:55] <umgan> randakar gotcha...well that said wrong fs type bad option etc.....is this what my new uuid line should look like? /dev/hda1 /media/hda1     ext3    defaults,tnls=uf8,umask=007,gid=46 0       1
[03:55] <soundray> SupremacyGnu: hold on
[03:55] <soundray> SupremacyGnu: test the frostwire first. It should work now.
[03:55] <Randakar> umgan: remove that tnls option .. I doubt that works in ext3
[03:55] <Randakar> umgan: NTFS specific 'codepage' selection
[03:56] <SupremacyGnu> soundray, ah yes! seems to work actually... loading
[03:56] <sam1982> where do i type that erUSUL?  i mean i have no idea how to do this !
[03:56] <screechingcat> looks like Edgy just recieved a shit load f updates. including the extremely fragile xorg. anyone done the upgrades ? any breakages ?
[03:56] <mandawar> Thanks a lot soundray !!! Got it working :)
[03:56] <erUSUL> !cli | sam1982
[03:56] <ubotu> sam1982: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[03:56] <lesshaste> Ash-Fox, no such option...
[03:56] <soundray> mandawar: well done, und Gre
[03:56] <lesshaste> Ash-Fox, I have "channel mode" and three "input source" buttons
[03:56] <unimatrix9> hello all
[03:57] <umgan> randakar that gave me no error but the drive still isnt showing
[03:57] <Randakar> umgan: what does it say when you type 'mount' ?
[03:57] <soundray> SupremacyGnu: to fix your java, leave Easyubuntu aside for now and run 'sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre'
[03:57] <sam1982> ?
[03:57] <unimatrix9> i been strugling with monitor settings , the option to set 75 to 60 hz is not there, how could i change that?
[03:58] <lesshaste> anyone know what the "capture" columns are in alsamixer>
[03:58] <SupremacyGnu> soundray, ok
[03:58] <umgan> randakar: a whole lot but at the bottom i see /dev/hda1 on /media/hda1 type ext3 (rw)
[03:58] <lesshaste> I have 3 of them for some reason
[03:58] <SupremacyGnu> soundray, ok. done
[03:59] <Randakar> umgan: so if you do a 'cd /media/hda1; ls' you'd see the contents of your new partition
[03:59] <unimatrix9> so refreshrate has only one option 75 hZ, i would like to be able also to set it to 60 Hz, any tips?
[03:59] <SupremacyGnu> soundray, hm, azureus starts but crash just after it's started
[03:59] <Randakar> umgan: you won't have a desktop icon for it though, if that's your issue
[03:59] <bilss_> hi
[03:59] <Ash-Fox> lesshaste, I guess your soundcard doesn't support it...
[03:59] <screechingcat> unimatrix9: change the refresh rate in system>prefs>screen res
[04:00] <umgan> randakar: yeah i see my files there. and correct there is no desktop icon
[04:00] <Randakar> umgan: Should be a simple matter of creating one then :-)
[04:00] <unimatrix9> thats the point, there is no optoin there to change it, only 75 Hz shows up there
[04:00] <kybuz> hiya all
[04:00] <kybuz> i have a script i use for newspost with newspost i upload my files 2 newsgroups. the thing is i have 2 execute the script from the directory in which the files are which i want 2 upload.....but in the script itself i want 2 built an extra option in it that the script asks me which directory or file a i want 2 upload ....is that possible  and so yes can anybody help me out ???
 http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35486/
[04:00] <screechingcat> unimatrix9: <im blank>
[04:00] <bilss_> i am trying to see if i have had any mail from someone but since i get thousands of mails a day is there something with the "tail" i can use ie tail  balbal /var/mail
[04:00] <lesshaste> Ash-Fox, turning up "capture" fixed it. I have no idea why nor why there are three capture settings
[04:00] <umgan> randakar: lol like i said i started messing w/ linux like yesterday so i'm not entirely sure how to go about that
[04:00] <s0nix> hi
[04:01] <s0nix> anyone can told me how change the sound card used by ALSA driver ^
[04:01] <erUSUL> sam1982: go here and learn a little about comand line interface https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[04:01] <will__> umgan, it ain't something you can pick up in a couple of hours
[04:01] <Randakar> umgan: hard to tell you without actually showing you where to click in nautilus, don't have a gnome desktop in front of me either so I'm likely to be wrong if I try to do that from memory ;-) )
[04:01] <will__> follow erUSUL 's advice
[04:01] <will__> go read a little bit
[04:01] <SupremacyGnu> soundray, please take a look here. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35781/ Thanks for helping me by the way
[04:01] <will__> learn the basics
[04:02] <umgan> randakar ok no problem i' can get my friend to help me w/ it when he gets home i think...one other thing tho
[04:02] <Randakar> umgan: but either a right-click on your desktop or some sniffing around in the 'places' menu will probably get you there
[04:02] <umgan> randakar: i accidentally created an "untitles folder" in the computer:/// how the heck do i get rid of it?
[04:03] <cmt^^> Hello Randakar
[04:03] <cmt^^> Everything is working now! :>
[04:03] <Randakar> umgan: if you have an 'untitles folder' if you type 'cd /; ls' then you can just type 'rm -r untitles\ folder' but I'd be carefull with that
[04:03] <burner_> anyone notice the massive amounts of updates to edgy today?
[04:04] <QwertyM> burner_, I just got a evince update :s
[04:04] <umgan> randakar ok thanks
[04:04] <QwertyM> lemme check
[04:04] <burner_> a lot of kde and the gimp was updated
[04:05] <QwertyM> nah, no updates waiting for me, maybe of apps specially?
[04:05] <soundray> SupremacyGnu: sorry, I don't have a solution for that
[04:05] <QwertyM> GIMP, I remmeber doin one a week ago!
[04:05] <screechingcat> burner_: yeah huge updates
[04:05] <QwertyM> I dunt have KDE :)
[04:05] <SupremacyGnu> soundray, ok. Checked the web and it seems as if I can fix it if I download the latest version. Thanks for the help
[04:05] <belfegorash> hi all
[04:05] <burner_> screechingcat: know if it's security related?  according to update-manager, only one was a security... I'm just curious what the issue was
[04:06] <soundray> SupremacyGnu: good luck
[04:06] <Randakar> burner_: no idea bout edgy, but feisty landed 200Mb of updates yesterday evening
[04:06] <screechingcat> burner_: a guy over at #ubuntu-offtopic just did the updates. he reports that everything went fine. so go ahead and upgrade
[04:07] <burner_> screechingcat: thanks... whenever X updates, I get a little leary ;)
[04:07] <unimatrix9> i installed edgy yesterday, there are only 13 mb updates
[04:07] <screechingcat> burner_: yeah me too. thats why i asked at offtopic first
[04:07] <burner_> unimatrix9: you prolly don't have the backports repo
[04:07] <Randakar> burner_: well, if it's any comfort, my feisty update left me with a broken nvidia driver and a new kernel that wouldn't boot in the beginning ;-)
[04:07] <Randakar> burner_: :P
[04:08] <swanfl> I just noticed the major changes to edgy :)
[04:08] <burner_> the 2.17 release of gnome doesn't seem too compelling yet either... but I'm sure that will change after a few releases
[04:08] <the_mug> is anyone else experiencing intermittent "Couldn't load icon for Open Folder" errors when running: network-admin ??
[04:09] <the_mug> ^^ on Edgy
[04:09] <burner_> the_mug: change your icon theme?
[04:09] <belfegorash> this program is just like mirc?
[04:09] <quiet> can anyone tell me how I would go about setting a custom icon to be permanently used by a removable usb drive?
[04:09] <bilss_>  i am trying to see if i have had any mail from someone but since i get thousands of mails a day is there something with the "tail" i can use ie tail  balbal /var/mail
[04:09] <burner_> belfegorash: this is IRC which are the same type of protocol used in mIRC... yes
[04:10] <the_mug> burner_: I'll try that. :-) is Feisty 7.04 ?
[04:10] <belfegorash> thank you
[04:10] <burner_> feisty is 7.04
[04:10] <the_mug> aha.
[04:10] <engla> Truly, development feature-wise seems to slow down radically in gnome. Not that I complain now that gedit is great and the desktop uses less memory than ever
[04:12] <screechingcat> no reason to upgrade to feisty. all the updates today were feisty backports. i was subscribed to the feisty-changes list (breifly, before my inbox got flooded) and all these changes were announced yesterday
[04:12] <the_mug> bur[n] er: no dice on changing the Theme. :-/ any other ideas?
