[12:01] <mwe> dboaba: I know some people are using it on macs
[12:01] <dooglus> nocarrier: I connected fine
[12:01] <sasalli> hi me again. I fix partition problem. There is indicator of formatting. when it's on %100, it's disapear. installation can't continue.what is that?
[12:01] <dooglus> nocarrier: which channel?
[12:01] <railz2> i'm only seeing about 10 packages from dapper for ex. linux 2.6.15
[12:01] <nocarrier> #new
[12:01] <dr_willis> sasalli,  once ya format it. This is a usb drive eh?
[12:01] <enyc> sasalli: Dapper 'desktop' (live) cd has some know problems....
[12:01] <fistandantilus> man one of my ubuntu machines is just being stubborn and wont except ICS from this machine .. can ping each other all day long but the second machine wont reach out to the net .. i thought you just had to enable ICS with firestarter and add a policy for the machines ip?
[12:01] <dboaba> I mac a PPC mac, and I would like to boot from an external HD. The ubuntu disk installed it fin on the external HD (which is firewire), but when I reboot (holding option) and pick that drive to boot from, it either freezes up, or goes back to the same page
[12:02] <j-goddess> bye folks
[12:02] <enyc> sasalli: I would be tempted to try the 'alternate' CD...
[12:02] <sasalli> live dvd
[12:02] <printk> railz2: Sorry i can't help, i've n ever used the a cd to upgarde a distro via apt-get
[12:02] <Falcon4> yay. xchat. one sec.
[12:02] <hosler> How would I go about partitioning my hd to have about 8 different distros on it?
[12:02] <printk> railz2: if you just chagne your sources.list to use the dapper mirrors it'd be a very simple upgrade :)
[12:02] <sasalli> sorry, i can't undrestand
[12:02] <enyc> sasalli: get the 'alternate' cd then... it has the breezy/debian like installer that is more robust than thi live installer
[12:02] <stefg> fistandantilus: you might be interested in http://rob.pectol.com/content/view/3/1/
[12:03] <sasalli> should i try with another ubuntu dvd?
[12:03] <enyc> sasalli: thi installer on the 'live' (desktop) disk haD[D[Ds some known problems....
[12:03] <enyc> sasalli: I would try with  a **NOT** live disk
[12:03] <enyc> sasalli:  dapper ALTERNATE cd...
[12:03] <marshall__> one of my dvd drives doesnt appear in Computer. Does anyone know how to get it to show?
[12:03] <sasalli> hmm
[12:03] <fistandantilus> stefg: im actually running his script ;/ the one machine just doesnt like me even setup to his specs
[12:03] <dboaba> I mac a PPC mac, and I would like to boot from an external HD. The ubuntu disk installed it fin on the external HD (which is firewire), but when I reboot (holding option) and pick that drive to boot from, it either freezes up, or goes back to the same page
[12:03] <digitalpenguin> Frankenstein_BRB: i got the usual errors
[12:04] <dboaba> the live cd works, but I want to install programs
[12:04] <enyc> sasalli: aaaah
[12:04] <enyc> sasalli:  the DVD is install and live
[12:04] <sasalli> yes i know.
[12:04] <sasalli> it can't install
[12:04] <stefg> fistandantilus: hmmm, so what's firestarters opinion on that?
[12:04] <DanaG|Away> How slow would it be to run Ubuntu from a USB drive?
[12:04] <Frankenstein_BRB> digitalpenguin, what errors?
[12:04] <DanaG|Away> I think it might be uselessly slow.
[12:04] <enyc> sasalli: I would ty booting it to the traditional installer
[12:04] <marshall__> one of my dvd drives doesnt appear in Computer. Does anyone know how to get it to show?
[12:05] <dr_willis> DanaG|Away,  depends on the job.. it can be very slow.
[12:05] <digitalpenguin> Frankenstein_BRB:  Error writing /etc/apt/sources.list: Permission denied ]
[12:05] <Dodzey> DanaG|Away, USB 2 wouldn't be too bad
[12:05] <dboaba> I mac a PPC mac, and I would like to boot from an external HD. The ubuntu disk installed it fin on the external HD (which is firewire), but when I reboot (holding option) and pick that drive to boot from, it either freezes up, or goes back to the same page
[12:05] <eosyn> any php folks here that can tell me why php5 barfs opening a url as a file even when allow_url_fopen is set to on
[12:05] <fistandantilus> stefg: i had firestarter totally turned off initally when i was trying to get it to run with his script, as he states you should do, couldnt get it to roll, so i decided to try with firestarter but im still not having any luck
[12:05] <sasalli> tradional?
[12:05] <digitalpenguin> after pasting what you told me to
[12:05] <Dodzey> DanaG|Away, although, is it possible to boot from USB 2 drives?
[12:05] <sasalli> traditional?
[12:05] <Falcon4> yeah, this is like, so much nicer. lol
[12:06] <Frankenstein_BRB> digitalpenguin, you will have to excuse my lack of detail, you need to run sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list instead of nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:06] <sasalli> is there a update or patch about that?
[12:06] <enyc> sasalli: y
[12:06] <dboaba> anyone know this... otting from an external on mac
[12:06] <enyc> es... like ubuntu breezy and before
[12:06] <dboaba> *booting
[12:06] <enyc> sasalli: yes... like ubuntu breezy and before
[12:06] <Frankenstein_BRB> digitalpenguin, than continue on with the directrions :) sorry for the lack of detial, im not fully awake at the moment
[12:06] <digitalpenguin> hehe
[12:06] <sasalli> how can i use?
[12:06] <stefg> fistandantilus: so there i'm running out of ideas, because i don't need ICS personally and have no real hands on experience  with that
[12:07] <digitalpenguin> Frankenstein_BRB: its ok im not fully um i suck at linux lol
[12:07] <stylin> Hi everyone
[12:07] <Falcon4> alright. so back at that losetup thing. i have a /loop, but not a /loop0... should i have a /loop0?
[12:07] <rpedro> marshall__: my suggestion is open System >> Administration >> Disks , and add a mount point like '/media/cdrom1' for the drive in question
[12:07] <dboaba> I mac a PPC mac, and I would like to boot from an external HD. The ubuntu disk installed it fin on the external HD (which is firewire), but when I reboot (holding option) and pick that drive to boot from, it either freezes up, or goes back to the same page
[12:07] <dboaba> i really need some help
[12:07] <fistandantilus> stefg: thanks anyway supposedly this is supposed to be working im sure im missing one small thing
[12:08] <TheGateKeeper> Frankenstein_BRB: digitalpenguin probable in here tomorrow evening so would be interested to hear if you get this resolved, and what worked :-)
[12:08] <_-Sneaky-_> hey
[12:08] <digitalpenguin> Frankenstein_BRB: well i will talk to you then
[12:08] <digitalpenguin> Frankenstein_BRB: if i have any more questions ill ask around
[12:08] <_-Sneaky-_> fhvtrtryytf
[12:08] <marshall__> rpedro: ok im in Disks Manager but it doesnt look like i can change anything
[12:09] <digitalpenguin> Frankenstein_BRB: its doing the updates now
[12:09] <Frankenstein_BRB> digitalpenguin, that should put your machine back to working again
[12:09] <digitalpenguin> Frankenstein_BRB: well
[12:09] <digitalpenguin> Frankenstein_BRB: it was close
[12:10] <rpedro> marshall__: ok, just checked , seems you need to have a disk in the drive to configure this way
[12:10] <Frankenstein_BRB> digitalpenguin, just remember after you run sudo apt-get update and there are no errors run sudo apt-get upgrade
[12:10] <dboaba> is there _anyone_ here that knows about booting from an external hard drive, or are the forums going to be a better option???
[12:10] <digitalpenguin> during the upgrade it got errors?
[12:10] <marshall__> rpedro: ok i just put in a dvd video and the icon changed and theres a video tab. the only thing under the video tab is 'Play Video'
[12:10] <Frankenstein_BRB> digitalpenguin, errors during sudo apt-get upgrade? what were they
[12:10] <dboaba> _anyone_
[12:11] <rpedro> marshall__: after you have a disk in the drive, reopen the dialogue and there should be a tab for the drive you want where you can change the 'access path'
[12:11] <eternaljoy> anyone know of a free URL forwarding/redirection Service that is free from popups?
[12:11] <digitalpenguin> let me make a paste of it
[12:11] <rpedro> marshall__: still no icon on the desktop?
[12:11] <digitalpenguin> Frankenstein_BRB: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19896
[12:12] <stylin> where can I globally add a path to shared libs ?
[12:12] <Falcon4> hey. anyone? is /dev/loop0 supposed to exist or is it just /dev/loop?
[12:12] <sasalli> How can i Update Ubuntu?
[12:12] <Blinker> mwe: still around?
[12:12] <dboaba> sasalli: what are you using ubuntu on
[12:12] <printk> sasalli: assuming your sources.list is setup correctly.  apt-get update and then apt-get dist-upgrade
[12:12] <erUSUL> sasalli: System>Admin>Update manager
[12:12] <marshall__> rpedro: no, still no icon. the only tabs are properties and dvd video
[12:12] <stefg> Falcon4: it has to be /dev/loop0
[12:12] <Frankenstein_BRB> digitalpenguin, did you run sudo apt-get update BEFORE that?
[12:12] <sasalli> ok
[12:12] <digitalpenguin> yes
[12:13] <Falcon4> stefg: great. hell. only /dev/loop exists.. what do i need to do to make /dev/loop0?
[12:13] <digitalpenguin> Frankenstein_BRB: yes i did
[12:13] <stefg> Falcon4: sudo losetup -f should tell you about your loop-devices
[12:14] <BHSPitMonkey> is there a special repo that delivers firefox more currently, the "official" repos are still at <IP_ADDRESS>...
[12:14] <Falcon4> /dev/loop/0
[12:14] <Falcon4> all it says
[12:14] <Frankenstein_BRB> digitalpenguin, only thing i can think of is that you may have breezy which means you would need to use the breezy srouces.list instead... run sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list and change every word that says dapper to breezy, than run sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade, if that fails i suggest just reinstalling :)
[12:14] <lmosher> I use a transparent (mostly) panel and I'm switching to a darker background - how do I change the panel font color?
[12:14] <Frankenstein_BRB> digitalpenguin, but now i have errands to run, so good luck
[12:14] <rpedro> marshall__: there's probably somethign at ubuntuforums.org , still searching...
[12:14] <stefg> Falcon4: oh, wait... /dev/loop is a _dir_ with 0,1,2,... being subdirs
[12:14] <sasalli> which update for installation?
[12:15] <Falcon4> ahh... so i guess that tutorial was wrong. LOL!
[12:15] <TheGateKeeper> Frankenstein_BRB: cat /etc/issue says it is dapper
[12:15] <rpedro> marshall__: this is a desktop we're talking about right?
[12:15] <Falcon4> well that solves another problem.
[12:15] <stefg> Falcon4: so /dev/loop/0 would be valod
[12:15] <stefg> *valid
[12:15] <digitalpenguin> Frankenstein_BRB: im just going to re-install its quicker and less of a hassle to me then ill get gdesklets to work
[12:16] <digitalpenguin> Frankenstein_BRB: thank you for the help though
[12:16] <Falcon4> hmm. now i just cross my fingers, and when i get back to that hard drive i'll see if i can mount that elusive image and check my email for the first time in 20-odd hours :P
[12:16] <sasalli> Dapper?
[12:16] <TheGateKeeper> digitalpenguin: use those URL's I gave you I think you will find them usefull

[12:23] <redcard> Luke:Looks like it's libdrm (Ubuntu)
[12:23] <lmosher> is there any way to change my panel font color??
[12:23] <DanaG|Away> You can add Option "MaxTapTime" "0" to turn off tapping altogether.
[12:23] <Gumby> whiteguysamurai: have you tried seaching for the module on your hard drive?
[12:23] <Luke> redcard: libdrm? i'm pretty sure its the linux kernel image
[12:24] <Gumby> DanaG|Away: is that in xorg.conf?

[12:29] <digitalhav0c> and use the wireless for server or the other way around
[12:30] <mwe> farous: I just asked him to glxinfo|grep direct
[12:30] <digitalhav0c> Wheelybin,
[12:30] <PortagemyAs5> suse or ubuntu?
[12:30] <digitalhav0c> if you need help with unreal tournament
[12:30] <digitalhav0c> just hit me up tommorrow
[12:30] <farous> mwe: if he installed the ati property drivers he should use the ati utils :)
[12:30] <Wheelybin> first I'm gonna get BOINC and put this cpu to use. And thankyou.

[12:31] <stefg> shadeofgrey: chances are there's someone in #kubuntu
[12:31] <mwe> Blinker: did you change xorg.conf correctly and is the fglrx  module loaded?
[12:31] <farous> mwe: both work. yet fgl_glxgears will test things the free mesa-utils cann't
[12:32] <shadeofgrey> yeah and every someone in the kubuntu channel is...  basically ignoring just about everybody
[12:32] <Blinker> I honestly couldn't say? still kinda learning linux here
[12:32] <mwe> farous: if he get direct rendering: no it sure is not working
[12:32] <mwe> Blinker: lsmod|grep fglrx
[12:32] <farous> mwe: ok
[12:33] <Blinker> mwe: and what should that do?
[12:33] <farous> Blinker: just why did not you install the driver from the repos and saved your self the hastle
[12:33] <mwe> Blinker: hopefully show that fglrx is loaded

[12:34] <mwe> Blinker: sudo modprobe fglrx and try the lsmod|grep fglrx again

[12:34] <eleazar123> thanks :)
[12:34] <linux_user400354> has anyone got a webcam to work in ubuntu. i am about to pull out all my hair trying to get mine to work.
[12:34] <mwe> farous: do what?
[12:34] <Warbo> linux_user400354: Mine "just worked"
[12:35] <stoooooook> hi, my friend is having some problems installing libglib1.2 I was wondering if someone could help
[12:35] <mwe> Blinker: ?
[12:35] <farous> mwe: if he have x then he have the ati open source driver loaded which conflict with the fglrx one. you can not modprobe fglrx while ati is loaded
[12:35] <linux_user400354> does anyone know where the supported webcam list is for ubuntu?
[12:35] <stoooooook> in synaptic a search of libglib only has libglib2.0 which is alraedy installed but he needs libglib1.2
[12:35] <stoooooook> sudo apt-get install libglib1.2 gives this error:
[12:35] <Blinker> mwe: 'could not open: no such file/dir'
[12:35] <digitalhav0c> linux_user400354, i couldn't get mine to work either
[12:35] <Warbo> !hardware > linux_user400354
[12:35] <digitalhav0c> i have a cheap dynex one from bestbuy
[12:35] <stoooooook> Package libglib1.2 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[12:35] <mwe> Blinker: you didn't install the driver
[12:35] <Blinker> and I didnt make any manual changed to corg
[12:36] <digitalhav0c> !hardware
[12:36] <ubotu> For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[12:36] <stoooooook> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[12:36] <Blinker> changes*
[12:36] <mwe> Blinker: did you even follow the directions?
[12:36] <stoooooook> is only available from another source
[12:36] <Blinker> yes
[12:36] <harisund> Does anyone know of any tool that can create a nice HTML page from an info manual?  That is a common type of problem with doing that
[12:36] <mwe> farous: I told him to do that
[12:36] <mwe> farous: are you just trying to be annoying or do you want to take over?
[12:37] <Warbo> !wireless > jackinthebox
[12:37] <stoooooook> Warbo: i think so?
[12:37] <linux_user400354> how can i know the model # of my logitech quickcam express?
[12:37] <DanaG|Away> Oh, where can I get the logitech-applet?
[12:37] <stoooooook> i dunno?
[12:37] <jackinthebox> warbo: that how you set it up?
[12:37] <BHSPitMonkey> linux_user400354, see what the command "lsusb" gives you.
[12:37] <stoooooook> we tried it with synaptic (no packages listed) and sudo apt-get install libglib1.2
[12:37] <Warbo> stoooooook: I mean have you added a Debian repository, or have you downloaded a Debian .deb file? Debian and Ubuntu use different versions of stuff
[12:37] <DanaG|Away> NVM, found it.
[12:37] <farous> mwe: i did not find your post where you said that
[12:38] <Warbo> jackinthebox: Well, I have a RaLink card that worked out of the box
[12:38] <farous> but i will leave you both together now
[12:38] <h3h_timo> im having a problem with the azureus popups not disappearing... can anybody help me out
[12:38] <linux_user400354> lsusb gives me the information about the usb bus. it does not tell me the model number
[12:38] <Blinker> mwe: what was the original link you supplied me with again?
[12:38] <mwe> farous: whatever. modprobe fglrx said no such file
[12:38] <mwe> !ati > Blinker
[12:38] <stoooooook> running ubuntu, did not download anything (can't find the packages)
[12:38] <Warbo> stoooooook: Oh, what are you trying to get running?
[12:39] <linux_user400354> lsusb -v gives better information
[12:39] <stoooooook> QW
[12:39] <stoooooook> :D
[12:39] <stoooooook> quakeworld
[12:39] <linux_user400354> but it still does not give me the model number
[12:39] <gnomefreak> stoooooook: apt-cache search libglib
[12:39] <mwe> Blinker: please install the module and change xorg.conf according to the wiki. then come back
[12:39] <wasauce> how can i setup ubuntu to shutdown if idle for say 20 minutes. I know there is a suspend and hibernate feature inside power management but I am looking for a shutdown.
[12:39] <Warbo> stoooooook: Never tried it
[12:39] <stoooooook> we just need the libglib
[12:39] <h3h_timo> could someone help me with getting the azurues popups to dissappear?
[12:39] <farous> mwe: whatever is not an answer and i said i will leave you both
[12:39] <linux_user400354> stoooooooook, why cant you use a newer version of libglib?
[12:40] <Warbo> stoooooook: Have you tried
[12:40] <linux_user400354> stoooooook, look in the breezy repos for an old version
[12:40] <Warbo> !info quakeforge
[12:40] <ubotu> Package quakeforge does not exist in dapper
[12:40] <Warbo> Dammit, I must have added it myself :)
[12:40] <gnomefreak> stoooooook: i have it libglib1.2
[12:40] <jackinthebox> also any reccomendations on a good .zip arhiver?
[12:40] <linux_user400354> jackinthebox: gzip or bzip2
[12:40] <Falcon4> okay, i need a hex editor -- or just a hex viewer even -- that can handle massive (20gb) files... third time i'm asked at least, soo...?
[12:40] <jackinthebox> thnx
[12:41] <gnomefreak> stoooooook: do you have the repos enabled or jus tthe cd repo?
[12:41] <linux_user400354> jackinthebox: they have better compression than .zip archives
[12:41] <stoooooook> gonna have to dummy down the terminology for me a bit guys, sorry:)
[12:41] <stoooooook> what repositories
[12:41] <Warbo> 7zip is better than gzip/bzip2 (although it uses it's own container)
[12:41] <Blinker> mwe: i did modify xorg, using the ati-supplied scripts: "aticonfig --initial" "aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv"
[12:41] <mwe> Falcon4: just get alot of ram and any hex editor will work
[12:41] <stoooooook> dont i have to do some like... build-essentials or something?
[12:41] <dr_willis> build-essential
[12:41] <wasauce> how can i setup ubuntu to shutdown if idle for say 20 minutes. I know there is a suspend and hibernate feature inside power management but I am looking for a shutdown.
[12:41] <mwe> Blinker: I don't know if that works
[12:41] <linux_user400354> Warbo: 7zip is the same as bzip2 -9
[12:41] <Falcon4> mwe: lmao, not even my HDD can handle that whole file as a file
[12:41] <gnomefreak> stoooooook: build-essential has nothing to do with libglib
[12:41] <Blinker> mwe: which is why I'm verifying manually
[12:41] <mwe> Blinker: it will not work until you install the fglrx module
[12:42] <Falcon4> mwe:  considering as it's an image of the drive i'm running linux on now
[12:42] <idefix> how do you unjar jar-files?
[12:42] <stoooooook> libglib1.2 doesnt' show up when he does the apt-cache  search
[12:42] <Warbo> linux_user400354: Have you ever tried 7zip on the highest setting? (in the manual) I couldn't be bothered to wait for a 5MB file after about an hour
[12:42] <stoooooook> can he just d/l the libglib1.2 from somewhere and then manually install?
[12:42] <linux_user400354> idefix: you could use the jar command line program that comes with java runtime environment
[12:42] <gnomefreak> stoooooook: please paste your /etc/apt/sources.list file on pastebin
[12:42] <steveO_> you do not want to manually install lib files
[12:43] <steveO_> you'll screw yourself.
[12:43] <Warbo> Getting libs on their own may be dodgy, since dependencies can be tricky
[12:43] <technel> So I installed a Maxtor external hard drive. For some reason around this time I can login with my username/password, but in the terminal when I type "su" and try to type the same password, it says auth failure
[12:43] <Falcon4> i think i got it! the offset was 32768 :D
[12:43] <wasauce> Does anyone know where the script is that relates to the power management features?
[12:43] <idefix> linux_user400354, great, how do I start it up? alt-F2 then what?
[12:43] <Warbo> technel: Su is disabled for non-root users.  Seriously, I have been on Ubuntu for several months now... flashbacks?
[12:44] <linux_user400354> idefix, do you have jre5.0 installed?
[12:44] <stoooooook> how do you enable it?
[12:44] <technel> Warbo, But thanks
[12:44] <stoooooook> i guess need to edit the sources.list ?
[12:44] <printk> gnomefreak: bbs?
[12:44] <marshall__> rpedro: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19897
[12:44] <erUSUL> !sources > stoooooook
[12:44] <marshall__> rpedro: thanks for helping me man
[12:44] <Blinker> mwe: is that a terminal command?
[12:44] <Falcon4> guys, i really need a way to hex-view the first 64KiB of a 20GiB image
[12:45] <idefix> linux_user400354 it's not in the synaptic list
[12:45] <Falcon4> just to find the offset :S
[12:45] <linux_user400354> idefix: yes it is
[12:45] <mwe> Blinker: sudo aptitude install xorg-driver-fglrx
[12:45] <linux_user400354> idefix: search java sun in synaptic
[12:45] <Warbo> !info sun-java5-bin
[12:45] <ubotu> sun-java5-bin: Sun Java(TM) Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0. In repository multiverse, is optional. Version 1.5.0-06-1 (dapper), package size 21625 kB, installed size 65608 kB
[12:45] <mwe> Blinker: didn't the wiki tell you to do that?
[12:45] <DanaG|Away> argh, all the logitech-applet links are dead.
[12:45] <linux_user400354> DanaG|Away: where did you get a logitech-applet?
[12:46] <Gumby> DanaG|Away: thanks for that tip.  worked like a charm
[12:46] <Falcon4> is it really such a foreign concept that such a simple task is impossibly difficult??
[12:46] <ppd> hi. does anybody know how to get the linux printer package from samsung working on dapper?
[12:46] <Blinker> mwe: just searched the wiki page, and I don't see that command anywhere
[12:46] <idefix> linux_user400354 I have fastjar, j2re1.4, libgnujaxp-jni, libjaxp1.2-java and libservlet2.3-java
[12:46] <zuhause01xx> Hello!
[12:46] <mwe> Blinker: read it again https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[12:46] <digitalhav0c> is ndiswrapper only for wireless cards?
[12:46] <mwe> Blinker: it's all there
[12:47] <idefix> linux_user400354 I searched for jre and jre5.0 earlier..
[12:47] <Gumby> digitalhav0c: yes
[12:47] <digitalhav0c> Gumby
[12:47] <mwe> Blinker: go to the dapper instructions
[12:47] <gregg__> Falcon4: you could chop off the first 64kb with dd
[12:47] <stoooooook> gnome: deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-updates main restricted
[12:47] <stoooooook> gnomefreak, deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-updates main restricted
[12:47] <Falcon4> gregg__: FINALLY, someone with a clue! :D
[12:47] <Falcon4> i'll try :P
[12:47] <digitalhav0c> that would be a cool concept if some one could write something like that for all devices
[12:47] <Gumby> does anyone here know if there is an amd64 channel
[12:47] <gregg__> Falcon4: but... there are also on-disk hex editors available
[12:47] <Gumby> for ubuntu that is
[12:47] <digitalhav0c> at lest all those that are not supported my linux at the moment
[12:47] <zuhause01xx> i am using Breezy and want to use my HP scanjet 2300c but it is not recognized by Xsane scanner ... can anybody be of some help please?
[12:47] <idefix> linux_user400354 ok so alt-F2 j2re1.4?
[12:47] <gregg__> I can't give you names though...
[12:48] <Falcon4> gregg__: that's exactly what i needed... i have Ghex but it doesn't even want to come near my file, i can chop off the 64k and check it out myself though :P
[12:48] <marshall__> rpedro: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19897
[12:48] <Falcon4> didn't know what dd was for, but i'll figure it out now :)
[12:48] <linux_user400354> idefix: no
[12:48] <gregg__> Falcon4: dd if=image.bin of=image.64k bs=64k count=1
[12:48] <Blinker> mwe: ok yeah, it was there (and I did it) - was just written differently
[12:48] <djk_> does badblocks search for badblocks in the filesystem or on the hdd?
[12:48] <linux_user400354> idefix: thats an old version
[12:48] <linux_user400354> idefix: get 1.5.0
[12:49] <stoooooook> i dont understand why i install it and didn't have any probs but he can't even see the libglib1.2
[12:49] <linux_user400354> or whatever the newest version is
[12:49] <idefix> but that's not in the list!
[12:49] <mwe> Blinker: so you did install fglrx? does dpkg -l|grep fglrx confirm that?
[12:49] <linux_user400354> idefix: yes it is
[12:49] <Warbo> idefix: It's called sun-java5-bin
[12:49] <idefix> so synaptic lists can get outdated?
[12:49] <Falcon4> root@ubuntu:~# dd if=/media/usbdisk/PhysicalDisk0.img of=/home/falcon/Desktop/64k.bin bs=64k count=1
[12:49] <mwe> Blinker: and why didn't you edit xorg.conf like it says?
[12:49] <Falcon4> seems to have worked :P
[12:49] <djk_> linux_user400354: 1.5.6 would be a better choice..
[12:49] <Warbo> idefix: In Multiverse (make sure you have multiverse enabled)
[12:49] <wasauce> how do i check the time my ubuntu computer has been idle from the command line?
[12:50] <steveO_> try just uptime
[12:50] <gregg__> Falcon4: yep
[12:50] <steveO_> er
[12:50] <steveO_> top
[12:50] <Blinker> mwe: confirmed, and I already said that I used the scripts. looking at xorg now.
[12:50] <mwe> Blinker: good then
[12:50] <Falcon4> wow. i knew it headed the file with junk data... "About DiskImage...", etc
[12:50] <linux_user400354> idefix: put this command into terminal "sudo apt-get install -y --force-yes sun-java5-jre"
[12:50] <idefix> I have the binary non-free (multiverse) enabled
[12:50] <mwe> Blinker: at least the module is installed
[12:50] <Warbo> linux_user400354: Why all of the forces??! If it is there then it will work, if not then it won't
[12:50] <idefix> I'll close synaptic first
[12:51] <idefix> E: Couldn't find package sun-java5-jre
[12:51] <Warbo> idefix: Are you on x86, amd64 or PPC?
[12:51] <mwe> Blinker: you need to restart gdm or reboot for it to take effect though. also put fglrx in /etc/modules to make it load at every boot
[12:51] <linux_user400354> idefix: sudo apt-get update
[12:51] <linux_user400354> then try the other one again
[12:51] <PortagemyAs5> aka_druid, why did you ban me?
[12:51] <mwe> Blinker: does lsmod | grep fglrx show it's loaded?
[12:51] <Blinker> mwe: may I PM?
[12:51] <Blinker> lemme see
[12:51] <mwe> Blinker: ok
[12:52] <mwe> Blinker: /j #mwe
[12:52] <idefix> Warbo AMD S754
[12:52] <linux_user400354> Warbo: those options are good cause then you dont have to answer anymore questions about installing dependencies ect
[12:52] <PortagemyAs5> aka_druid you are a tight ass.
[12:52] <Warbo> idefix: OK, just that Java packages don't seem to be in PPC repos
[12:53] <idefix> Reading package lists...   Would the -686-smp kernel be the one to use?  (I don't know much about the hardware, and I don't know how -- if at all -- hyperthreading and smp are related.)

[12:55] <forevertheuni> Seveas: the wiki is outdated then
[12:55] <__che__> is there some good mp3-to-ogg converter?
[12:55] <__che__> and reverse?
[12:55] <Seveas> in ubuntu wpa is done via network_manager or /etc/network/interfaces
[12:55] <forevertheuni> Seveas: should I use gnome network config?
[12:55] <idefix> linux_user400354 I get a big list
[12:55] <forevertheuni> Seveas: :/ can you give me a hint?
[12:55] <MatthewV> __che__, sound-converter will work with those provided you have enabled mp3 support on your system
[12:55] <idefix> 37 lines
[12:55] <forevertheuni> Seveas: cause the wiki doesn't have a thing
[12:55] <MatthewV> !info sound-converter

[12:56] <linux_user400354> i dont know but im tired of ubuntu having old software in the repos. i like the newest software.
[12:56] <idefix> is sun.com one of the repos? no, right?
[12:56] <Warbo> MatthewV: 1)er, 2) no -
[12:56] <EnsignRedshirt> __che__: If you don't mind the command line, there is sox.
[12:56] <Seveas> forevertheuni, that's in my /e/n/i

[12:56] <Seveas> forevertheuni, you still need to edit /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
[12:56] <KenSentMe|zzz> How can i disable msttcorefonts temporarily on my system?
[12:56] <idefix> linux_user400354 why don't they delete the old stuff?
[12:57] <__che__> why do I get this message "The application might not support your system architecture." when I try to use Add/Remove ?
[12:57] <linux_user400354> idefix: try opening the the jar in file roller. java1.4 will work.
[12:57] <Warbo> idefix: I mean if you need to go on java.sun.com and download a binary installer, if you use java-package then it will create an Ubuntu package for you
[12:57] <Seveas> KenSentMe|zzz, sudo apt-get remove msttcorefonts

[12:58] <Warbo> idefix: It will after you have installed it

[12:58] <forevertheuni> Seveas: may I ask why that options are not in network configuration gui?
[12:58] <__che__> Seveas: how is that done? I was hoping Ubuntu is point-and-click ;)

[01:00] <forevertheuni> post-up? in interfaces file?
[01:00] <EnsignRedshirt> Is there any point in using the SMP kernel if I have a single Pentium 4 with hyperthreading?
[01:00] <forevertheuni> or is it another command?
[01:00] <mjr> EnsignRedshirt, yes
[01:00] <mjr> EnsignRedshirt, hyperthreading is handled by the SMP support
[01:00] <Seveas> forevertheuni, post-up route ...
[01:01] <forevertheuni> Seveas: ok tnx
[01:01] <__che__> problems with Add/Remove are solved
[01:01] <EnsignRedshirt> mjr: OK, thanks.
[01:01] <forevertheuni> bye
[01:01] <forevertheuni> Seveas: tnx
[01:01] <Faked_Sympathy> Hey, I'm having some issues installing ubuntu, can I get some help?
[01:02] <DanaG|Away> Here's a nice way around the "no su" issue:  sudo bash.
[01:02] <Warbo> Faked_Sympathy: Tell us your problem and we'll see
[01:02] <Faked_Sympathy> okay.
[01:02] <Warbo> sudo -s -H
[01:02] <Falcon4> SUHWEET! okay, one last question. i mounted my image file to /media/ntfs under root. but when i try to access it from the file browser in the main shell, i get "you do not have permission" errors. under Root, I can see ALL my old files! (yay!) how do i fix this?
[01:02] <Howitzer> Does anyone here know of a way to make Xine auto-repeat every file by default?
[01:02] <Faked_Sympathy> I put in the liveCD, right? It says hit enter. so I do. it loads a buncha little processes...then it's a solid black screen
[01:02] <uber_mort> Howdy all!   I'm trying to help a buddy of mine, he has just installed Ubuntu.  Everything works just dandy until we try to install his nvidia drivers.  The drivers seem to install alright, but once we change his Xorg.conf settings to the nvidia driver X just freezes.  We get no errors or anything, hes using a 6800GS.  Any ideas
[01:02] <idefix> I'll try again tomorrow
[01:03] <Warbo> Faked_Sympathy: What kind of hardware are you on?
[01:03] <_cat> _dna
[01:03] <_cat> =****
[01:03] <Faked_Sympathy> What do you wanna know? It's not a great computer, but it works...
[01:03] <djk_> mwe: i just checked my hdd with badblocks, apparently there are 28. any way to fix that?
[01:03] <Warbo> Faked_Sympathy: RAM, CPU, etc.
[01:03] <_dna> XD
[01:03] <_dna> _cat =*********
[01:03] <Falcon4> ummm... wtf? was "sudo -s -H" directed at me?
[01:03] <redcard> djk: No way to fix bad blocks.
[01:03] <Faked_Sympathy> 256mbRAM, Mobile AMD Sempron 2800
[01:04] <_dna> XD
[01:04] <_cat> xD
[01:04] <mwe> djk_: oh. I think you need a special program for you specific hdd to mark them as bad. not sure
[01:04] <_dna> este canal me da miedo _cat :x
[01:04] <Warbo> No, at DanaG|Away
[01:04] <_dna> io me salgo XDD
[01:04] <evilghost> Hello fellow Ubuntu users ;)
[01:04] <_cat> son elites
[01:04] <_cat> yo tmb
[01:04] <mwe> djk_: I hope it's not dead
[01:04] <_cat> xD
[01:04] <djk_> redcard: so, is 28 much?
[01:04] <Faked_Sympathy> so what do you think, wardo? you know what I can do to fix this?  Ciao.
[01:05] <redcard> djk_: I dunno, really.. but when you have bad blocks, the OS simply marks them and they are no longer used.
[01:05] <gorski> how to locate libmp3lame.so on my computer?
[01:05] <Howitzer> sudo find / -name libmp3lame*
[01:05] <Faked_Sympathy> Uh.. when I hit enter like it says, it goes to a black screen shows it executing a buncha little processes...and after a bunch of them it says [success]  which would make me think it's working
[01:05] <Faked_Sympathy> they go too fast to read, though
[01:05] <Falcon4> like this chat room.
[01:05] <djk_> mwe: well, it is still working, no idea for how long though
[01:06] <rpedro> gorski: trying to export to mp3 with audacity?
[01:06] <evilghost> Falcon4:  What's your issue exactly?  You have a drive mounted that you can't access?
[01:06] <Warbo> Faked_Sympathy: OK, so it is not completely trashed. Are they white-on-black or orangey-brown-on-black?
[01:06] <linux_user400354> idefix: old stuff is not deleted. having old software has some advantages. the newest software usually has bugs that still need to be worked out while the old software has been tested more and is more stable.
[01:06] <djk_> redcard: so would you suggest replacing it with a new one or just formatting and setting up a new filesystem?
[01:06] <Faked_Sympathy> white on black
[01:06] <gorski> yes! :)
[01:06] <Falcon4> yeah. i FINALLY was able to crack my physical-disk-backup-image open with losetup, but now i mount it and only Root (the user I wish I could be) can access it.
[01:06] <Warbo> Hmm, no usplash
[01:07] <redcard> djk_: Are there any physical noises/things occurring?
[01:07] <gorski> rpedro, yes.
[01:07] <forevertheuni> Seveas: :/ I don't get it my wpa_supplicant is running...but doesn't do nothing :/
[01:07] <Faked_Sympathy> I'm back at the screen with the UBUNTU logo that tells me to hit ENTER for the default live system
[01:07] <evilghost> Falcon4:  What is the image type, raw, iso9660, ext?
[01:07] <forevertheuni> (does nothing)
[01:07] <Falcon4> well, NTFS.
[01:07] <Warbo> Faked_Sympathy: Is there a safe/recovery one?
[01:07] <forevertheuni> Seveas: :/ it's running with correct commands :/
[01:07] <Falcon4> @ evilghost
[01:07] <rpedro> gorski: that .so has slightly different name on ubuntu
[01:07] <Faked_Sympathy> what do you mean?
[01:08] <Seveas> forevertheuni, sudo wpa_cli status
[01:08] <djk_> redcard: right now, no. just yesterday some ticking for the first time and then linux crashed and the bios didn't recognize it for about 15-20 minutes
[01:08] <rpedro> gorski: check this link > https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/audacity/+bug/51063
[01:08] <Warbo> Faked_Sympathy: There are a few boot options. The top one is Run/Install, is there a "safe mode" type one?
[01:08] <forevertheuni> sudo wpa_cli status
[01:08] <forevertheuni> Selected interface 'ath0'
[01:08] <forevertheuni> wpa_state=INACTIVE
[01:08] <Seveas> djk_, that thing is dying or dead
[01:08] <evilghost> Falcon4:  Linux mounts NTFS as RO, I believe there is an NTFS write-supported module somewhere, let me dig it up.
[01:08] <Faked_Sympathy> no, doesn't say anything like that
[01:08] <Warbo> (please don't make me run it in an emulator to check...)
[01:08] <gorski> tnx
[01:08] <Falcon4> evilghost: no, no, i don't want that...!
[01:08] <mwe> djk_: you need to get your hdd to mark the sectors as bad or you'll get problems
[01:08] <nalioth> forevertheuni: please don't paste in here
[01:08] <redcard> djk_: It's gone.
[01:08] <forevertheuni> nalioth: :/  3 lines :/
[01:08] <djk_> :(
[01:08] <Seveas> forevertheuni, pastebin your woasupplicant config file (make sure to delete passwords)
[01:08] <Falcon4> evilghost: it's a backup image of my laptop HDD before wiping it with Ubuntu and it has all my life data on it i want to restore into Linux now.
[01:09] <redcard> If it's made ticking noises, that's something physical.. and no software will undo that.
[01:09] <forevertheuni> the wpasupplicant config file is ok
[01:09] <forevertheuni> when I start wpa_supplicant manually it connects ok
[01:09] <Falcon4> evilghost: i don't need to write into it (it's an NTFS image being read from an NTFS drive anyway), i just need to read from it.
[01:09] <Warbo> Faked_Sympathy: Ah, I see there is none now :(
[01:09] <Warbo> Hang on a sec
[01:09] <Faked_Sympathy> exactly what it says "This is the Ubuntu Live CD> Press F1 for help and advanced options. For the default live system, press enter. boot:_"
[01:09] <djk_> at least i could rescue the data
[01:09] <evilghost> Falcon4:  You installed Ubuntu, prior to installation you backed up your NTFS parition, and you want to simply access data from it?
[01:09] <forevertheuni> the problem is with the startup
[01:09] <Falcon4> evilghost: it mounts OK but only Root can view its contents
[01:09] <Warbo> Faked_Sympathy: Yes, I have it in front of me now
[01:09] <redcard> djk_: You could try, yes.
[01:09] <Falcon4> evilghost: yes. :P
[01:10] <uber_mort> Hi all, I'm trying to help a friend with his fresh install.  We're trying to get the Nvidia drivers working, but for some reason when we change the Xorg.conf from nv to nvidia X just freezes.  It doesn't give us any errors or anything, just doesn't work.  Any ideas?
[01:10] <djk_> redcard: i already did, with dd_rhelp
[01:10] <Faked_Sympathy> Alright. Well, what do you suggest I do?  I'm sick of it
[01:10] <evilghost> Falcon4:  Ok, now I'm up to speed.  One second, I've got a command you can pass at mount that enables normal users to access with write/read without the need to create an /etc/fstab entry.
[01:10] <carrincha> sdf
[01:10] <redcard> *nods*
[01:10] <DanaG|Away> I see, he backed up to a bad drive?
[01:10] <redcard> The drive, tho.. the drive is on the way out
[01:10] <DanaG|Away> Oh, check out Ultimate Boot CD.
[01:10] <DanaG|Away> There may be some useful utilities there.
[01:11] <Falcon4> evilghost: i'd prefer not to be able to write to it at all (it's being mounted from another NTFS drive and i don't want to mess it up, it's immaculate at the moment)... can it be write protected?
[01:11] <Warbo> Faked_Sympathy: Try pressing F6 and typing "rescue"
[01:11] <Ernst_> what samba username/password do i ad for windows to connect without asking me to enter a password and username?
[01:11] <evilghost> Falcon4:  In your "mount" command try "-o r,user,guest,fmask=0666,dmask=0666,gid=1000,uid=1000,sync"
[01:11] <Faked_Sympathy> "Could not find kernel image: rescue"
[01:11] <Warbo> Oops, give me a minute
[01:12] <Faked_Sympathy> Sure
[01:12] <bimberi> Ernst_: for windows to connect to a samba share?  the smbpasswd needs to be the same as the windows password
[01:12] <Seveas> meh. stupid script.
[01:12] <forevertheuni> Seveas: found the problem..I pasted your lines
[01:12] <forevertheuni> I have /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
[01:12] <forevertheuni> and not in wpa_supplicant dir
[01:12] <forevertheuni> going to reboot and test
[01:12] <forevertheuni> bye
[01:12] <Falcon4> evilghost: great. now it says /media/ntfs: device is busy.
[01:13] <Warbo> Faked_Sympathy: Well I think the kernel should be "boot=casper", then the "rescue", but I am about to check
[01:13] <Ernst_> bimberi, that is? anonymus : anonymus?
[01:13] <Falcon4> evilghost: err, for umount
[01:13] <evilghost> Falcon4:  sudo umount /media/ntfs
[01:13] <Faked_Sympathy> okay, honestly, I don't even know what a kernel is.
[01:13] <evilghost> Falcon4:  Close the apps accessing it, or, umount -f /media/ntfs
[01:13] <karim> hi
[01:13] <Faked_Sympathy> I'm just a not-extremely-computer-smart guy trying to make life a little easier by not having to deal with windows's crap.
[01:13] <mwe> Ernst_: anonymous is how it's spelled I think
[01:13] <skmidry> my pppoe connection keeps dying out after around 4 hours of use
[01:14] <Falcon4> evilghost: ahh, i had sudo'd into another shell under /media/ntfs in the last one. if that makes any sense.
[01:14] <evilghost> Falcon4:  It does ;)
[01:14] <karim> I have a problem with apt, and this happens on two different systems. when I dist-upgrade some package, they are still candidate to upgrade next time I run dist-upgrade
[01:14] <Ernst_> mwe, thinkso =S
[01:14] <wasauce> how do i check the idletime on my system. I am trying to write a script that will shutdown my computer if it has been idle for X number of minutes
[01:14] <bimberi> Ernst_: idk, what's your setup?
[01:15] <evilghost> wasauce:  /usr/bin/w
[01:15] <Seveas> wasauce, check out the w command and its manpage
[01:15] <Ernst_> bimberi, my own user name / passwd
[01:15] <karim> I have a problem with apt, and this happens on two different systems. when I dist-upgrade some package, they are still candidate to upgrade next time I run dist-upgrade
[01:15] <Faked_Sympathy> ya go anythin' warbo?
[01:15] <Falcon4> evilghost: odd. now it's giving me the whole "bad partition" speech about invalid layouts and crap.
[01:15] <Warbo> Faked_Sympathy: I am messing around with boot options in an emulator and I think "boot=casper initrd=install/initrd.gz rescue" should work
[01:16] <evilghost> Falcon4:  Paste the mount command you're using if you would
[01:16] <loststar4545> how do i start the gpart gui i type sudo gpart and  just  get a txt output
[01:16] <linux_user400354> how can i use ssh-agent, so that i dont have to type in passwords each time i use ssh?
[01:16] <Faked_Sympathy> well, I dunno what ANY of that means, but I'll enter it, see if it does anything
[01:16] <Falcon4> evilghost: root@ubuntu:~# mount -t ntfs -o r,user,guest,fmask=0666,dmask=0666,gid=1000,uid=1000,sync /dev/loop/0 /media/ntfs
[01:16] <sparta> hi, I've had a horrible time trying to update to 6.6 from CD...i ended up reloading the older version
[01:16] <wasauce> evilghost: thanks..
[01:16] <Falcon4> evilghost: also, i get this
[01:16] <micahcowan> linux_user400354, ssh-agent typically is already running in your session... password less shelling requires ssh-keygen.
[01:16] <Falcon4> evilghost: [17188556.520000]  NTFS-fs error (device loop0): parse_options(): Unrecognized mount option guest.
[01:16] <Faked_Sympathy> "Could not find kernel image: boot=casper"
[01:16] <Warbo> Faked_Sympathy: You know there is also a non-graphical CD if the "desktop" CD is failing (like it is now)
[01:17] <wasauce> Seveas: thank you. Im checking it out now...
[01:17] <printk> wasauce: it's going to be hard to do what you want.... the system is almost never idle.. there is always some application or daemon running in the background
[01:17] <sparta> before i could put the new version in my repositories...i can't find the apt get in the wiki or online anyone know it?
[01:17] <Falcon4> evilghost: [17188556.520000]  NTFS-fs error (device loop0): parse_options(): Unrecognized mount option r.
[01:17] <bimberi> Ernst_: ok, the way it works here is I set up samba passwords (using smbpasswd) on the Ubuntu server, then logged in XP users can connect to the shares.  It doesn't ask for a password if the samba user password matches their XP password
[01:17] <evilghost> Falcon4:  /dev/loop/0 is your NTFS image?  Take the r,user,guest out then I guess
[01:17] <Faked_Sympathy> I know there's another CD, should I try using that one?
[01:17] <Falcon4> evilghost: it's a ton of NTFS i'm working with here, sorry, i'm still migrating from Windoze :P
[01:17] <sparta> oh and where is that (i don't have a burner...if i need to go to an internet cafe i'd like to be able to FIND it
[01:17] <sparta> sounds like i'm not the only frustrated person?
[01:18] <evilghost> Falcon4:  No problem, at least you're moving in the right direction.  I made the same move about 1.5 years ago.
[01:18] <Warbo> !alternate
[01:18] <ubotu> The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-installation CD, with no live session. Use this if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an expert install.
[01:18] <Falcon4> evilghost: still getting the whole "you do not have permission" error when i try to use file browser... :(
[01:18] <Faked_Sympathy> what?
[01:18] <Falcon4> evilghost: but it mounted this time
[01:18] <Warbo> Faked_Sympathy: I would say so
[01:18] <evilghost> Falcon4:  1 sec, let me try something
[01:18] <sparta> i could put the last release in fine...part of the problem with the new one was the size of the virtual memory...that got me further and then i couldn;t figure out how to get it in the end
[01:18] <Faked_Sympathy> okay
[01:19] <Ernst_> bimberi, windows xp home can't store network passwords, and i think within a windows enviremont there is a default anonymous login...
[01:19] <sparta> ah that sounds really nice that alternate cd
[01:19] <evilghost> Falcon4:  Try this, assuming you're using Gnome.  From a terminal type "sudo nautilus" and this should exec Nautilus under Root enabling you to get to the NTFS data.
[01:19] <sparta> just what i'm looking for
[01:19] <micahcowan> linux_user400354, use something like ssh-keygen -t rsa, and enter an empty passphrase.
[01:19] <wasauce> printk: I think the w command might do it. this way it just checks the users active processes..but i think it will be a challange... if you have any advice id love to hear it
[01:19] <Falcon4> evilghost: yeah, figured it might, but it really sucks to be locked out of my own dang computer. whatever posessed linux users to run under a restricted account anyway? :(
[01:19] <micahcowan> linux_user400354, then you need to copy the contents of the resulting ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub into the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys of the system to which you wish to be able to login.
[01:20] <bimberi> Ernst_: yes, that i don't know much about sorry :|
[01:20] <sparta> (my old pentium 2 couldn't take the new interface)
[01:20] <Faked_Sympathy> okay wardo I switched to the other CD, now what?
[01:20] <Faked_Sympathy> warbo*, sorry >_>
[01:20] <micahcowan> linux_user400354, realize too that anyone who gets hold of read access to your ~/.ssh/id_rsa (no .pub) can log in as that user without a password.
[01:20] <micahcowan> hth
[01:20] <Ernst_> bimbereri, thanks anyway for your time, here it's time for bed, nighty night!
[01:21] <Falcon4> evilghost: yep, worked this time, lol
[01:21] <Howitzer> There are a lot of users using VLC for movie files, however: when i try to open it, i never see any movie, just hear the sound
[01:21] <linux_user400354> micahcowan: thanks for the information
[01:21] <sparta> do i just look for dapper instead of dapper drake?
[01:21] <bimberi> Ernst_: np, sorry i didn't help much.  nn :)
[01:21] <Warbo> Faked_Sympathy: The alternate CD (text based) shouldn't give any problems (since the other one seemed to be booting fine, but having problems with graphics)
[01:21] <evilghost> Falcon4:  Try this one too, -o users,owner,ro,umask=000
[01:21] <Howitzer> *open a movie-file with VLC
[01:21] <evilghost> Falcon4:  Replace the other options I gave you and unmount/remount using these options "users,owner,ro,umask=000"
[01:21] <Warbo> Howitzer: Codec issue
[01:21] <Faked_Sympathy> well when I hit enter, it does the EXACT same thing as the other CD
[01:21] <Faked_Sympathy> it's as if they're the same one
[01:21] <Falcon4> evilghost: alright, one sec
[01:21] <sparta> and the damn virtual memory...
[01:21] <Faked_Sympathy> this isn't Dapper
[01:21] <Howitzer> Warbo, everything works in MPlayer, Xine and Totem
[01:22] <Howitzer> just with a lot of annoying bugs
[01:22] <Warbo> Howitzer: VLC uses it's own codecs
[01:22] <sparta> ok where do i go then faked sympathy...and i'll leave you alone.... ;-)
[01:22] <renesis> yo
[01:22] <renesis> default install
[01:22] <Howitzer> totem goes choppy on certain wmv movies or doesn't give sound on some .mpeg's
[01:22] <Warbo> Faked_Sympathy: Oh, Dapper is the only one to have graphical install/text install
[01:22] <renesis> badger version
[01:22] <renesis> on reboot
[01:22] <Faked_Sympathy> Yeah. this is Hoary Hedgehog >_>
[01:22] <renesis> it fails to modprobe 8139too
[01:22] <dutch> what's the name of the program for the alsa mixer ?
[01:22] <linux_user400354> why doesnt windows have a grep or grep -v?
[01:23] <renesis> this is aproblem
[01:23] <renesis> it complains:
[01:23] <bnD> is there a way to install dapper WITHOUT going through the bootup of the live cd first? ala previous install cd's?
[01:23] <linux_user400354> i use these things all the time
[01:23] <Faked_Sympathy> I'm DLing the dapper CD but it's gonna take 4 friggin' hours that I don't have to spend
[01:23] <Warbo> Faked_Sympathy: I've never used Hoary, sorry (but I know there is only 1 install CD, which is text)
[01:23] <Falcon4> evilghost: aha! now it works :D
[01:23] <sethk> linux_user400354, it does.  install the cygwin package and you'll get a set of utilities that mirrors the unix utilities
[01:23] <fistandantilus> bnD: alternate cd iso uses text install
[01:23] <evilghost> Falcon4:  No problem, glad to help you out.
[01:23] <micahcowan> linux_user400354, yeah, they're handy, ain't they :-)
[01:23] <sethk> linux_user400354, including zsh, bash, grep, egrep, etc., etc.
[01:23] <Howitzer> Warbo, how do i install the needed VLC plugins then?
[01:23] <sparta> yes...i'm trying to upgrade...wiped my system and can't install from the CD--- although i have it here! I've been at this on and off all day
[01:23] <bnD> fistandantilus, awesome, thank you, do you know if it presents options that were available from previous install cd?
[01:23] <Howitzer> i don't see any using apt-cache search vlc
[01:23] <Warbo> Faked_Sympathy: You realise that if you got Hoary installed you would not be able to upgrade it to Dapper with the Dapper CD?
[01:23] <micahcowan> linux_user400354, you actually can get them for Windows. But then, I just go and get a whole Unix environment to run on my 'doze systems (cygwin rox)
[01:23] <Faked_Sympathy> but if it won't run hoary, will it even be able to run dapper?
[01:23] <sparta> do i just change where i'm talking
[01:23] <h3h_timo> has anyone installed unreal tournament??? im trying to install it, but i cant figure out how???
[01:23] <renesis> FATAL: could not load /lib/modules/2.6.13/modules.dep: no such file or dir

[01:24] <Cigarette> i have a simple/stupid question.... where does apt install programs to?
[01:24] <renesis> on reboot
[01:24] <Falcon4> evilghost: well, so far you've been the biggest help of anyone here for me, so... thanks a ton! :D
[01:24] <renesis> it fails to modprobe 8139too
[01:24] <fistandantilus> bnD: couldnt say havent used it personally, the dl links are on ubuntu's download site, there may be more information there
[01:24] <renesis> it complains:

[01:24] <Tsukino> anyone here know how to edit acpi settings in Gnome?
[01:24] <bnD> fistandantilus, thanks
[01:24] <renesis> HELP PLS
[01:24] <renesis> .
[01:24] <Warbo> Howitzer: I would guess that you need to put them in a specific folder (like MPlayer uses /usr/lib/codecs) but I don't know where they would go
[01:24] <sparta> yes...when dapper drake first came out there was an online way to upgrade...i couldn't think of anything else to do but reinstall the old version
[01:24] <Howitzer> i'll browse for a howto then :)
[01:24] <Warbo> !enter > renesis
[01:24] <evilghost> Cigarette:  apt installs applications to the filesystem in various locations as defined by the deb package.  Files are cached in /var/cache/apt/archives
[01:24] <sparta> and then upgrade online (i hoped the same way)...if there is a text based way with the CD i can do that too
[01:25] <evilghost> Falcon4:  NP, keep up the migration and dont' look back ;)
[01:25] <renesis> warbo: sue me
[01:25] <sparta> (i learnt from doing this version again anyway...)
[01:25] <Slaj> Question -- My wireless isn't working since the Dapper upgrade.  I ran ndiswrapper -l and it seems the necessary driver is installed.  What's wrong?
[01:25] <Warbo> Faked_Sympathy: Seems like a hardware issue, and hardware support is getting better all of the time. New versions of FLOSS tend to work better on older hardware (unless it only has, like, 4MB RAM, then you should get an older version)
[01:25] <renesis> default install, on reboot, it fails to modprobe 8139too, it complains: FATAL: could not load /lib/modules/2.6.13/modules.dep: no such file or dir
[01:26] <micahcowan> renesis, you've just turned off several people who might otherwise have desired to be helpful to you.
[01:26] <Warbo> 2.6.13?
[01:26] <renesis> micahcowan: politics, nice, wanna help or no?
[01:26] <Cigarette> evilghost, if i needed to know where the thunderbird run file or whatever is, so i could make a link to it on a bar... how could i find out?
[01:26] <renesis> warbo: yup
[01:26] <sparta> is there a channel number for dapper drake...might be more appropriate?
[01:26] <Warbo> I thought Breezy was 2.6.12-9 (and upgrade to -10 is available)
[01:27] <renesis> well i dont know i didnt compile the distro
[01:27] <Bob535> !resolution
[01:27] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type this in a console: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  -  To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[01:27] <evilghost> Cig:  From terminal you can type "whereis mozilla-thunderbird", which would return "/usr/bin/mozilla-thunderbird"
[01:27] <Cigarette> oh thanks
[01:27] <Tutter> hm
[01:27] <sparta> (i'm sorry to be bothersome but my computer has been down for a week now on this)
[01:27] <Warbo> renesis: If you didn't compile the kernel then you must be looking in the wrong place. The only reason I know of why a 2.6.13 kernel would be installed is if you did it yourself (and you obviously haven't since it is not found)
[01:27] <renesis> warbo: uname -a says im running a 2.6.13
[01:28] <ameer> Hey guys, I'm trying to get Ubuntu Dapper to work with my Voodoo3 video card... it boots fine, but as soon as X starts, booting stops.  It doesn't even login - it must detect an error and completely halt
[01:28] <Tutter> any of you use the installnewfirfox.sh from sourceforge ?
[01:28] <Warbo> !info linux-image-2.6.13-386
[01:28] <ubotu> Package linux-image-2.6.13-386 does not exist in dapper
[01:28] <renesis> warbo: theres other kernels in that /boot directory
[01:28] <Warbo> Ah, only Dapper
[01:28] <ameer> Should I just install the voodoo packages in Synaptic, or is there something more involved that needs done?
[01:28] <renesis> warbo: the installer just picked on?
[01:28] <Warbo> renesis: Use whichever vmlinuz/initrd.img work
[01:29] <h3h_timo> !sh
[01:29] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via applications -> accessories -> terminal (gnome) or kmenu -> system -> konsole (kde). Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[01:29] <h3h_timo> !.sh
[01:29] <ubotu> I know nothing about .sh - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:29] <renesis> is all about aterm (rxvt)
[01:29] <Warbo> h3h_timo: To run a sh file do "sh filename.sh"
[01:29] <h3h_timo> Warbo, thanks ill try it
[01:29] <renesis> warbo: is it possible installer detected another kernel and loaded it into the grub.conf?
[01:30] <Warbo> h3h_timo: If it is an installer you may need to let it access the system, so "sudo sh filename.sh" would do that
[01:30] <renesis> or possibly the introduced 2.6.13 into the breezy image
[01:30] <Warbo> renesis: Maybe the Breezy CDs have been updated since I last used them (mind you, that was a preview release)
[01:30] <renesis> yeah i just grabbed this one
[01:30] <GeleGrodan> "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" givs alot of program and things, if i just want GUI what should i download?
[01:30] <renesis> dapper resets the box, default kernel
[01:31] <h3h_timo> Warbo, im installing unreal tournament 2004, and it uses a sh script... do you know any other mainstream games that are able to be played in linux??
[01:31] <ameer> Anyone have experience getting a VooDoo card working in Ubuntu?
[01:31] <renesis> and its 200MHz so i aint so happy about compiing a kernel on it
[01:31] <fistandantilus> h3h_timo: all the quakes, dooms
[01:31] <renesis> think its an acpi probe issue
[01:31] <Warbo> renesis: Well I seem to be out of my depth now
[01:31] <h3h_timo> aight thats sweet thank guys
[01:31] <fistandantilus> linux is definitely not short on FPS games
[01:32] <vgvxfm1> neone know whats best to use for ftp server software
[01:32] <renesis> id runs better on linux drivers
[01:32] <renesis> my box at least
[01:32] <evilghost> h3h_timo:  Ensure you copy the Sh script to your local machine first.  UT2003, Quake4, Doom3, Doom3-ROE, FreeSpace, and many more can be played under Linux but each requires a Linux installer.
[01:32] <Warbo> Doomsday is good for Doom 1 and 2
[01:32] <mwe> no it's not. there are 10+ FPS games for linux
[01:32] <Slaj> Can anyone assist with troubleshooting my wireless connection?
[01:33] <fistandantilus> im all about enemy territory myself
[01:33] <evilghost> Slaj:  I can, what type of wireless controller do you have?  Post the output of "lspci"
[01:33] <linux_user400354> my webcam must be impossible in linux
[01:33] <uber_mort> Hi all, I'm trying to help a friend with his fresh install.  We're trying to get the Nvidia drivers working, but for some reason when we change the Xorg.conf from nv to nvidia X just freezes.  It doesn't give us any errors or anything, just doesn't work.  Any ideas?
[01:33] <fistandantilus> now if we just had some good RPGs that would run natively other than neverwinter nights ..
[01:33] <vgvxfm1> ftp help neone??
[01:33] <renesis> uber_mort: agpgart settings
[01:33] <evilghost> Uber_mort:  Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for any EE or WW lines.
[01:33] <fistandantilus> i use emulators for my rpgs though ;)
[01:33] <sparta> is there a way to install the graphical cd with text instead?
[01:33] <BalNdaR> how to edit text files in console?
[01:33] <h3h_timo> evilghost, sounds good, only game i wish i had so i dont have to have windows is oblivion
[01:33] <fistandantilus> BalNdaR: try nano filename
[01:34] <uber_mort> renesis: what do you mean by agpart settings?
[01:34] <renesis> uber_mort: theres a way thri nvidia module options to set it to nvidia agp, kernel, or either
[01:34] <Slaj> evilghost:  I'm booted into Windows right now.  I'll have to log out and back in again.  Back in a few?
[01:34] <renesis> uber_mort: its a kernel thing for agp
[01:34] <evilghost> h3h_timo:  I believe Oblivion works well with Cedga (or WineX-CSV), check http://www.transgaming.org
[01:34] <evilghost> Slaj:  Works for me.
[01:34] <Warbo> !best > vgvxfm1
[01:34] <uber_mort> renesis: Ok, I'm not sure what to do to set that up...  what should I do?
[01:34] <h3h_timo> thanks evilghost.. ill check it out.. dont you have to pay for cedga tho??
[01:34] <renesis> uber_mort: nvidia can work with its own or the kernel one, but its gotta be set
[01:34] <mwe> most games don't work or only half work with cedega
[01:34] <vgvxfm1> whats the best app to use for an ftp server
[01:35] <DanaG|Away> what about gid=users on the NTFS?
[01:35] <evilghost> h3h_timo:  You do, it's like $5 AFAIK, however, you can always compile WineX-CVS from source.
[01:35] <Warbo> !best > vgvxfm1
[01:35] <vgvxfm1> ty
[01:35] <vgvxfm1> warbo
[01:35] <fistandantilus> you'd be surprised .. there's probably 30+ games that work fine in cedega
[01:35] <renesis> uber_mort: nvidia documentation, xorg.conf, kernel menuconfig, the agpgart settings
[01:35] <h3h_timo> evilghost, is wineX-CVX hard to use?
[01:35] <redcard> Not to mention almost all the poker games.
[01:35] <mwe> the games I wanna play don't work with wine or cedega
[01:35] <Warbo> Cedega breaks copy protection, so they don't put that bit in the source
[01:36] <fistandantilus> i use older games though i dont have a new fangled machine that runs the new games anyway
[01:36] <evilghost> h3h_timo:  Nah, there are some howto's on how to do it.  If you wanted to go for easy Cedega Point2Play would likely be better but it does cost.  It's either $5 or $15, I can't remember.
[01:36] <uber_mort> renesis: Well its a PCI express card, so what should I do?
[01:36] <fistandantilus> its $15
[01:36] <DanaG|Away> tdfx on Voodoo3?
[01:36] <Warbo> Cedega=$5 per month (or 3), for a minimum 3 months
[01:36] <fistandantilus> they dropped it then
[01:36] <fistandantilus> it was 15 not that long ago at all
[01:37] <Warbo> That's from what I remember
[01:37] <h3h_timo> evilghost, welp, im cheap, so im goin the WineX way
[01:37] <micahcowan> fistandantilus, $5/per month, minimum 3 mos, is $15.
[01:37] <Warbo> So $15 total (or 9)
[01:37] <fistandantilus> ah okay
[01:37] <evilghost> h3h_timo:  No problem there
[01:37] <fistandantilus> so your paying 15 bucks regardless ;)
[01:37] <DanaG|Away> Oh, I tried to run CVSCedega.
[01:37] <linux_user400354> do people get Cedega without paying the same way people get windows xp without paying?
[01:37] <stoooooook> erUSUL, gnomefreak, Warbo, thanks for your help guys!
[01:37] <h3h_timo> evilghost, do you use either of the two?
[01:37] <stoooooook> Got it working, just needed to fix up the repositories
[01:37] <uber_mort> Attn:  Cedega is FREE via CVS tree!
[01:38] <uber_mort> Just an fyi ;)
[01:38] <fistandantilus> we know, welcome to yesterday in the conversation ;)
[01:38] <uber_mort> Well, people are talking about paying
[01:38] <evilghost> h3h_timo:  I did use Cedega for a while for FarCry and some of the other games, then I did a little soul-searching and decided to either not support or play any game that does not have native Linux support.  iD, Atari/Epic, etc all run fine.
[01:38] <Howitzer> linux_user400354, no they don't, the best thing about Cedega is it's Point2Play function
[01:38] <evilghost> h3h_timo:  Mine was more of a personal/philosophical decision.
[01:38] <Warbo> But that doesn't include copy protection hacking does it? (that is why Cedega is pay-for, sicne they need a license not to get arrested)
[01:38] <fistandantilus> uber_mort: for point2play
[01:38] <mwe> cedega doesn't run what I wanna play
[01:38] <uber_mort> The new version of Wine is supposed to be good enough to run World of Warcraft without any further modifications
[01:39] <scast> Where can I find a "decent" source.list ?
[01:39] <uber_mort> Not sure if it'll work with much else
[01:39] <linux_user400354> scast, are you using debian?
[01:39] <fistandantilus> !easysource
[01:39] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[01:39] <mwe> hitman4. FEAR, civ4. doesn't work or only half work
[01:39] <redcard> Well, Civ4 is a dog of a game anyway
[01:39] <linux_user400354> nevermind, i thought i was in the ##linux chat
[01:39] <mwe> it's great game
[01:39] <h3h_timo> evilghost, welp, id like to get oblivion running, as ive found no other rpgs out there that are better
[01:40] <Warbo> scast: If you want something that isn't in Ubuntu then add it when you find it. It is NOT a good idea to install stuff in Linux "because it's free", since you will end up with GBs of useless stuff
[01:40] <redcard> It's a crap game, and most of the civ fans thinnk that.
[01:40] <fistandantilus> im on a run of psx rpg's with epsxe currently
[01:40] <mwe> I don't care I like it
[01:40] <evilghost> h3h_timo:  I do believe Cedega will run it, so you may want to give it a try.
[01:40] <enigma> I'd say Morrowind than Oblivion, but that's asking for a flamewar.
[01:40] <linux_user400354> i am going to try to compile spca5xx module for logitech webcam from source code. has anyone attempted this?
[01:40] <Phantom784> hi.  i was trying to play a dvd in kaffiene, and it worked, but the video was moving at about one rame per second.  i'm assuming this is because kaffeine isn't getting direct access to the video card.  does anyone know how to fix this?\
[01:40] <fistandantilus> FP RPG = yuck
[01:40] <DanaG|Away> I wonder, can Steam ban you for using Cedega?
[01:41] <enigma> Ask them on their message board? =D
[01:41] <uber_mort> Hi all, I'm trying to help a friend with his fresh install.  We're trying to get the Nvidia drivers working, but for some reason when we change the Xorg.conf from nv to nvidia X just freezes.  It doesn't give us any errors or anything, just doesn't work.  He is using a PCI express 6800gs.  Any ideas?
[01:41] <evilghost> Phantom784:  Please post the output, from terminal, of the command "glxinfo|more"
[01:41] <h3h_timo> evilghost, i wish i had the money too lol
[01:41] <mwe> DanaG|Away: of course not
[01:41] <mwe> DanaG|Away: they can't even detect it
[01:41] <evilghost> uber_mort:  Post the output of /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:41] <redcard> DanaG|Away: Cedega does violate their TOS, I believe.
[01:41] <Warbo> uber_mort: I always use module-assistant to compile the driver. Never failed for me
[01:41] <redcard> But they won't do it.
[01:41] <wasauce> Seveas: hey so I checked out the man pages of w and tried to use it but if I have a user that is logged in using gui nothing is reported for the idle time. rather is says something like xgdmx any ideas how i can get around this
[01:41] <DanaG> What about CVSCedega?
[01:41] <fistandantilus> why would they ban you for using it?
[01:42] <mwe> redcard: does it say it must be run natively in windows?
[01:42] <evilghost> uber_mort:  Did you install nvidia-glx with the 8756 drivers?   :X
[01:42] <redcard> mwe: It says something like "must be run on a legal version of Microsoft Windows"
[01:42] <niall> !flash

[01:42] <Warbo> Dawgy: Go ahead
[01:42] <uber_mort> evilghost: They're not the legacy drivers
[01:42] <Dawgy> Thanks, here's my problem.
[01:42] <evilghost> uber_mort:  8762 I mean.
[01:42] <mwe> redcard: so yes basically
[01:42] <bnD> anyone know how to disable a device and cut off power to it (through root, not unplugging :P) ?
[01:42] <DanaG> With CVSCedega, I get "ts_xlib.c:1203: error: syntax error before * token
[01:42] <DanaG> "
[01:42] <redcard> *nods*
[01:42] <uber_mort> evilghost: I'm not sure which version I'm using, we just used apt-get install nvidia-glx
[01:42] <DanaG> A whole bunch of those.
[01:42] <linux_user400354> !cvs
[01:42] <ubotu> cvs is the Concurrent Versions System, the dominant open-source network-transparent version control system; it helps to manage releases and to control concurrent editing of source files among multiple authors. See: https://www.cvshome.org/
[01:42] <Dawgy> I've got a PC that I want to put a Ubuntu server on. Problem is, the video card in it died, it has no onboard, and I have no card that will go into it.
[01:42] <DanaG> It does not compile.
[01:42] <Phantom784> evilghost: anything specific you want me to look for?
[01:43] <Dawgy> Is it possible to be installed via SSH somehow?
[01:43] <Dawgy> Or, some other way?
[01:43] <aujordanh> anyone know a better ipod extraction app than gtkpod, it won't copy all of my files
[01:43] <uber_mort> evilghost: and the pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19902
[01:43] <Warbo> Dawgy: You could put the drive into another machine
[01:43] <evilghost> Phantom874:  The Direct Rendering line
[01:43] <wasauce> Seveas: I want to set it up so that when i happen to walk away from my box it turns off by iteself if it has been idle for 20 minutes.
[01:43] <Phantom784> evilghost: it says no
[01:43] <Dawgy> Wow, I'm a moron. I never thought of that.
[01:43] <mwe> redcard: I guess many games say that somewhere if you read closely
[01:43] <Warbo> :)
[01:43] <fistandantilus> aujordanh: pick one, amarok, banshee, rhythmbox, etc
[01:43] <jpatota> Dawgy: chances are that ubuntu comes with openssh-server installed
[01:43] <redcard> mwe: *nods*
[01:43] <fistandantilus> aujordanh: though gtkpod works fine for me
[01:44] <evilghost> Phantom784:  Do you know what graphics chipset you have?  What does lspci say?
[01:44] <Dawgy> I'll try that. :-P
[01:44] <jpatota> Dawgy: unless its the server instal
[01:44] <Phantom784> it is an ati rage 128
[01:44] <redcard> So the short answer is, yeah, Steam can ban you for using it because it's a violation of their TOS.
[01:44] <niall> hey guys which way is the most simple way to install flash player
[01:44] <redcard> Now will they?  Likely, no.
[01:44] <Dawgy> Ah, yeah. I'm downloading the server install.
[01:44] <jpatota> Dawgy: in that case you need to type from memory
[01:44] <ack> anyone have any luck getting an alps touchpad working? mine just does not work.  Ive been playing with my xorg.conf file forever
[01:44] <mwe> redcard: I've never heard about it at least

[01:44] <aujordanh> fistandantilus, rythymbox doesn't move files from ipod to hdd does it?
[01:44] <Warbo> (didn't work for me though, I needed to add a Debian repo)
[01:44] <jpatota> Dawgy: do you know how to get directly to terminal from boot
[01:44] <Phantom784> evilghost: should i run |scpi
[01:44] <mwe> redcard: they don't care if you buy the game I think
[01:44] <fistandantilus> aujordanh: couldnt say i dont use it, i just know it has ipod capabilities
[01:45] <evilghost> Pahntom784:  Just "lspci"
[01:45] <jpatota> Dawgy: and not go though the gnome login process
[01:45] <aujordanh> okay, yeah i am putting all of my ipod files on my hdd
[01:45] <evilghost> uber_mort:  Can you share your xorg.conf?
[01:45] <Dawgy> Bah, I screwed up my language settings, need to reboot. XD
[01:45] <redcard> Just.. Steam uses a lot of anti-cheat code.. and they'll download it behind the scenes.   I am trying to write a shutdown script that checks to see if a user has been idle more than x minutes and then shuts the computer down
[01:46] <mwe> DanaG: do you think so?
[01:46] <DanaG> I have no issues with Steam as long as I have internet.
[01:46] <Slaj_R> evilghost: Okay, how shall I post lspci?
[01:46] <DanaG> I only have ussues at internet-less LAN parties.
[01:47] <evilghost> Slaj_R:  Just tell me the chipset/manfacturer for your wireless card.  I'm guessing it's a Broadcom BCM43xx chipset?
[01:47] <uber_mort> evilghost: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19903  We had to change the driver setting back to nv because nvidia wasn't working
[01:47] <redcard> Course all my friends are now playing that nexiuz game.
[01:47] <mwe> DanaG: I installed some non official, not certified ati drivers in windows and didn't get banned
[01:47] <DanaG> What do I install for "You need gtk+-2.0, glib-2.0 and libglade-2.0."
[01:47] <DanaG> ?
[01:47] <redcard> Those that aren't doing Freeciv :)
[01:47] <DanaG> Packages in Synaptic, I mean.
[01:47] <Slaj_R> evilghost: bcm4306, yes.
[01:47] <jpatota> Slaj_R: pastebin is usually the best place to dump such stuff
[01:47] <fistandantilus> i forgot my password, and had changed email by then so even though i had bought it they told me i needed a new key, i told them where they could shove there steam
[01:47] <mwe> DanaG: libglib and libgtk2 and libglade I think. search for those
[01:48] <Phantom784> evilghost: the line says 0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controler: ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 RF/SG AGP
[01:48] <evilghost> uber_mort:  Try commending out the load dri line per the Nvidia readme, you shouldn't need it.
[01:49] <uber_mort> will do
[01:49] <mwe> Phantom784: you know fglrx wont work with that?
[01:49] <Phantom784> mwe: so there's nothing I can do?
[01:49] <mwe> Phantom784: install the open source driver I think
[01:49] <evilghost> Slaj_R:  Same card as in my laptop.  You have two choices, you can blacklist the kernel's bcm43xx driver in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and use ndiswrapper for the driver or you can install the fwcutter stuff.  Check http://www.ubuntuforums.org for a plethora of info.  I opted for the ndiswrapper option and have no issues.
[01:49] <Phantom784> mwe: where can I get that?
[01:50] <mwe> Phantom784: I'm not into the details but I think it's called radeon in xorg.conf
[01:50] <evilghost> Phantom784:  In /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the section "Device" what is the Driver you are using?
[01:50] <DanaG> Oh, I've had "renderaccel" "true" freeze X.
[01:50] <renesis> warbo: apperently, the installer scanned the directory for ALL kernel images, using the same initrd for all all them in grub, and didnt set its installed kernel default. someone should maybe adjust that, you think?
[01:50] <uber_mort> evilghost: no such luck.  It just shows the console ubuntu screen (like when ubuntu is loading)
[01:50] <jpatota> Dawgy: how we doing?
[01:50] <Aberrant22> Hey folks, got a question about Samba on my lappy, sharing between my vmware xp (not public, only my vmware interfaces)  I have to restart the samba service for it to show up properly...any ideas?
[01:50] <renesis> laters, thanks for the help bye
[01:50] <Dawgy> Pretty good, sorry about the abrubt reboot.
[01:50] <Dawgy> I was playing with my language settings, and had set my PC to Japanese.
[01:51] <DanaG> NVIDIA for me.
[01:51] <jpatota> Dawgy: nice job
[01:51] <Phantom784> evilghost: vesa
[01:51] <Dawgy> The font in IRC was impossible to read. :(
[01:51] <evilghost> uber_mort:  I am seeing rejected sessions but I don't know why.  You could always post to http://www.nvnews.net the Linux section, this is the offical forum for Nvidia support and both Lonnie and Zander review/post there (NVidia Linux Team employees)
[01:51] <Dawgy> Well, it WAS English, just a bad font. XD
[01:51] <yurganu> quit
[01:51] <maleficus> Hrm I can't seem to get surround sound working in XMMS
[01:51] <h8red> Hello everyone, just installed ubuntu and all seems well, except I can't get ubuntu to mount my hard drive that is fat32, any reasons for this?
[01:51] <karim> do you have a /dev/rtc device ?
[01:51] <micahcowan> Dawgy, you shouldn't have needed to actually reboot: just log out, change the language for your session, then log back in.
[01:51] <uber_mort> Hmmm, so this isn't going to be easily solved you think?
[01:51] <evilghost> Phantom784:  THat is the root issue.  You could try changing it to "ati" and let us know.  You'll need to "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" though since only root can change it.
[01:52] <Dawgy> Micah, I'm on Windows at the moment, if you were thinking I'm on Ubuntu.
[01:52] <Dawgy> About to install that soon.
[01:52] <micahcowan> oh. :-)
[01:52] <maleficus> I tried the Under "Audio Device" enter "plug:surround51"  suggestion on help.ubuntu but it didn't work for me
[01:52] <DanaG> My favorite thing to sudo is bash.
[01:52] <mwe> Phantom784: I think you need xserver-xorg-driver-fbdev
[01:52] <DanaG> sudo bash <approximately equals> su.
[01:52] <redcard> Why not sudo -i?
[01:52] <uber_mort> evilghost:  I am reading the log file right now, and it says (WW) Warning, couldn't open module nvidia
[01:53] <micahcowan> Dawgy, incidentally, if you like playing with stuff in Japanese, Ubuntu has very good Japanese support. :-)
[01:53] <owen_> does anyone know a good place to get high-resolution wallpapers for ubuntu?
[01:53] <Awesome-o2000> how do I configure the video input for my screensaver?
[01:53] <micahcowan> Awesome-o2000, /input/? do you mean splash-image-type things?
[01:53] <mwe> owen_: devianart.com
[01:53] <Dawgy> Micah, I sure hope it's better than the one in Windows. I hate the language bar in XP.
[01:54] <jpatota> Dawgy: wait a minute...your going to *install* ubuntu on a computer with a bad video card?
[01:54] <h8red> error: device /dev/hdb1 is not removable,  error: could not execute pmount, what does this mean?
[01:54] <Awesome-o2000> micahcowan, specifically I think its xscreensaver-grab-video, let me try and figure it out
[01:54] <micahcowan> jpatota, yes, he is
[01:54] <evilghost> uber_mort:  Thanks, I may have missed this.  Can you see what /usr/lib/libGL.so is symlinked to?  When you "lsmod|grep -i nvidia" do you get anything?  What happens when you try to modprobe nvidia?
[01:54] <Dawgy> Jpa, Ubuntu server on a PC without a video card.
[01:54] <Coreh> Hey, I'm trying to install ubuntu.... but the partition editor can't recognize my disk or my partitions. I even tryied the console partition edition tools, but they can't recognize my HD. what can i do?
[01:54] <Phantom784> evilghost: do i need to restart x now?
[01:54] <jpatota> Dawgy: hahaha
[01:54] <micahcowan> Awesome-o2000, if you're using xscreensaver, then it's an option in your .xscreensaver
[01:54] <Dawgy> I think I'll do what was suggest, which is install on another PC, and manage over SSH or something. I dunno.
[01:54] <jpatota> Dawgy: good luck to you sir
[01:54] <evilghost> Phantom784:  Yes, you can do this by either logging out or by hitting CTRL-ALT-Backspace.
[01:55] <Dawgy> It's not gonna be anything too big.
[01:55] <Awesome-o2000> xscreensaver-getimage-video
[01:55] <owen_> that link doesnt look correct mwe
[01:55] <uber_mort> evilghost: No such file or directory /usr/lib/libGL.so
[01:55] <Slaj_R> evilghost:  Okay, I'm going to try the procedure outlined at http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=185174&highlight=blacklist+broadcom+driver
[01:55] <mwe> owen_: http://www.deviantart.com/
[01:55] <Phantom784> evilghost: okay, i'll see if it works
[01:55] <mwe> owen_: it has loads of coll stuff
[01:55] <Dawgy> I need just a simple PCI card, but Wal Mart wants to charge like $50 for a GeForce MX series. >_>
[01:56] <evilghost> uber_mort:  sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx --reinstall
[01:56] <uber_mort> evilghost: ok
[01:56] <DanaG> Lemme dig up Newegg.
[01:56] <alex_> hi
[01:56] <alex_> :D
[01:56] <owen_> by the way, how do you do that, put someones name automatically so as you redirect your message towards them on here?
[01:56] <alex_> uhh unix
[01:56] <h3h_timo> ive been having troubles with my soundcard just randomly not working
[01:56] <h3h_timo> does anyone know how to restart, say the alsa drivers?
[01:57] <evilghost> uber_mort:  You should have a /usr/lib/nvidia with /usr/lib/libGL.so symlinked to /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 which is symlinked to /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.8762
[01:57] <uber_mort> I'll check
[01:57] <evilghost> uber_mort:  scratch the /usr/lib/nvidia part, sorry abou that
[01:57] <uber_mort> now its loading on loading the desktop ... hrm
[01:58] <uber_mort> errr hanging
[01:58] <uber_mort> oo, there it goes
[01:58] <eternaljoy> I use Openoffice 2.0.2 but it doesnt do spell checking, even though I see a spell icon!  Any ideas?
[01:58] <evilghost> uber_mort:  I'll send you my paypal address ;P
[01:58] <AAA>  h3h_timo /etc/init.d/alsa restart
[01:58] <uber_mort> haha
[01:58] <DanaG> Hmm, 28 bucks: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102153
[01:58] <uber_mort> well
[01:58] <uber_mort> its running reaaaaaaaaaalllllllly slowly
[01:58] <DanaG> Kinda expensive for the old crap it is.
[01:58] <maleficus> Hrm actually my surround sound won't work on any application
[01:58] <uber_mort> so I'm not sure its working yet ;)
[01:58] <maleficus> its either front, or rear, but never both
[01:59] <evilghost> uber_mort:  Check out how things are linked, do a "ls -la /usr/lib/libGL.*"
[01:59] <Coreh> the gnome partition editor can't recognize my disk... what can i do?
[01:59] <Dawgy> Ah, cheaper than the other card though Dana.
[01:59] <evilghost> uber_mort:  Also see what "glxinfo|more" says in reference to direct rendering/etc.
[01:59] <Dawgy> Thanks.
[01:59] <uber_mort> evilghost: /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.0.8762
[01:59] <lkasjf> heya, I am trying to setup my wireless inet connection but I can't seem to get my WPA key working when I use iwconfig.... I have been trying to use "iwconfig eth1 essid wrieless_3 key s:haha" what's wrong?
[02:00] <evilghost> uber_mort:  Life looks good with that area.  Would you like me to share my xorg.conf, there are some tasty gems of performance in there.
[02:00] <lkasjf> (my WPA key is 'haha')
[02:00] <uber_mort> evilghost: rebooting before I can do the glxinfo|more
[02:00] <uber_mort> I surely wouldn't mind :)
[02:00] <DanaG> It should be good enough for a server.Or, a Radon 7000
[02:00] <DanaG> 			 					$42.99 					($22.99 after $20.00 Mail-In Rebate)
[02:00] <threeonefour> i have a question
[02:00] <Aberrant22> lkasjf: Did you install wpasupplicant?
[02:01] <DanaG> I wonder what shipping is....
[02:01] <redcard> threeonefour: Go ahead and ask
[02:01] <lkasjf> ah no
[02:01] <threeonefour> I am having problems with accessing my floppy drive
[02:01] <lkasjf> yes sorry
[02:01] <lkasjf> it is there
[02:01] <AAA> threeonefour  is the green light always on?
[02:01] <threeonefour> no the ribbion is placed correctly
[02:01] <Aberrant22> lkasjf: Hrm, not sure then...can you connect to open wireless points?
[02:02] <mwe> threeonefour: sudo mount /dev/fd0 /mnt might work
[02:02] <threeonefour> it's software not hardware
[02:02] <evilghost> uber_mort:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19904
[02:02] <AAA> threeonefour  mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/foo
[02:02] <lkasjf> hrmm
[02:02] <val25> can I install selinux on Ubuntu ???
[02:02] <lkasjf> no I can't
[02:02] <Aberrant22> lkasjf: I had wireless issues (broadcom chipset sucks) and had to go through hoops to get it to work
[02:02] <uber_mort> evilghost:  Well, we just got up and running, I'm going to get that file, any chance you happen to know how to make dual monitors work? :)
[02:02] <lkasjf> hrmm
[02:02] <threeonefour> i go into terminal for that right
[02:02] <h3h_timo> AAA, i do this sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart and there is still no sound
[02:02] <lkasjf> well
[02:02] <mwe> threeonefour: you may have to load the floppy kernel module though
[02:02] <lkasjf> I jsut found out about wpasupplicant
[02:02] <AAA> selinux-utils - SELinux utility programs
[02:03] <BHSPitMonkey> networkmanager++
[02:03] <AAA> h3h_timo  alsamixer (turn up the volume)
[02:03] <Aberrant22> lkasjf: Are you using gnome?  I installed the networkmanager and that helped
[02:03] <val25> AAA just need install this ????
[02:03] <AAA> threeonefour  yeah
[02:03] <h3h_timo> AAA i did
[02:03] <evilghost> uber_mort:  I do, but my laptop gets pissy with me so I've never been 100% successful.  There is a readme about in in Appendix G I believe on Nvidia's website in the readme for the driver.
[02:03] <mwe> h3h_timo: did you unmute as well?
[02:03] <Aberrant22> lkasjf: If you have a broadcom chipset... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1071920&mode=linear
[02:03] <h3h_timo> AAA, i know alot of people dont check this, but its already been checked
[02:03] <evilghost> uber_mort:  Metamodes, Twinview, etc.  That kind of stuff.
[02:03] <h3h_timo> mwe, yes
[02:03] <AAA> val25  I don't know, I just apt-cache search selinux
[02:03] <Aberrant22> lkasjf: that worked for me
[02:03] <mwe> h3h_timo: turning up the volume wont work if you don't
[02:03] <lkasjf> Aberrant22 what did?
[02:03] <h3h_timo> mwe, it will just randomly stopped working
[02:04] <Section12> What about twinview?
[02:04] <val25> ok
[02:04] <mwe> h3h_timo: master and pcm
[02:04] <mwe> h3h_timo: I see
[02:04] <h3h_timo> mwe i did all
[02:04] <uber_mort> evilghost: Alrighty, thanks :)  we're gonna tweak this a bit and i'll let you know how it goes.  Thanks a ton for all of your help
[02:04] <DanaG> YTO restart sound, you may need to modprobe -r and then modprobe and then alsa-utils reset (number)
[02:04] <DanaG> then unmute.
[02:04] <threeonefour> give me that command agian
[02:04] <AAA> h3h_timo  hrm. what about the volume on your laptop? or lsmod|grep snd
[02:04] <lkasjf> I need WPA support :/
[02:04] <evilghost> uber_mort:  No problem, glad to help
[02:04] <linux_user400354> sweet, i installed ubuntu-calendar package and i have a naked girl ubuntu background picture that changes once a month
[02:04] <Kyral_Laptop> mmmm FOOTBALL!!!
[02:04] <Aberrant22> lkasjf: That tutorial worked...though I had to remove my interfaces (except lo) from /etc/network/interfaces
[02:04] <eternaljoy> I use Openoffice 2.0.2 but it doesnt do spell checking, even though I see a spell icon!  Any ideas?
[02:04] <GeleGrodan> "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" givs alot of program and things, if i just want GUI what should i download?
[02:04] <lkasjf> well
[02:04] <lkasjf> I can connect without a WPA key
[02:04] <mwe> AAA: would alsamixer show the controls if the kernel module is not loaded?
[02:04] <h3h_timo> AAA, umm.. you want me to put this in pastebin?
[02:04] <AAA> threeonefour  sudo mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/foo (where /mnt/foo exists)
[02:04] <lkasjf> but when I have a WPA key I can't connect
[02:05] <AAA> mwe  I think so
[02:05] <AAA> mwe  but I ain't positive
[02:05] <linux_user400354> GeleGrodan, x
[02:05] <evilghost> GeleGrodan:  gnome-desktop maybe?
[02:05] <Aberrant22> lkasjf: mmm, sorry, just know the basics....I use network-manager to connect to everything
[02:05] <AAA> h3h_timo  sure
[02:05] <h3h_timo> AAA, alright
[02:05] <threeonefour> mount: can't find /dev/fd0 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[02:06] <mwe> threeonefour: what did you type?
[02:06] <h3h_timo> AAA, what should i be looking for?
[02:06] <jason> how do I get apollon to show up in the gnome "Applications" menu?
[02:06] <AAA> threeonefour  mkdir ~/floppy && mount /dev/fd0 ~/floppy
[02:06] <threeonefour> sudo mount /dev/fd0
[02:06] <mwe> threeonefour: I told you sudo mount /dev/fd0 /mnt
[02:06] <tuxtux> bye
[02:06] <AAA> h3h_timo  tail -n 33 /var/log/syslog > foo and paste foo
[02:06] <selfharm> what software should i use for virus scan?
[02:06] <mwe> threeonefour: you missed half of it
[02:07] <ro> is there someone who knoe how to delete files on an rca mp3 player .. its detected i can put file but cant delete any
[02:07] <Aberrant22> selfharm: I've heard good things about clamav I think...I haven't really researched much though
[02:07] <AAA> threeonefour  mkdir ~/floppy && mount /dev/fd0 ~/floppy
[02:07] <selfharm> aberrant22, thanks.
[02:07] <GeleGrodan> evilghost> it's download alot of other things to.
[02:07] <h3h_timo> AAA, pastebin is being so slow
[02:07] <selfharm> what software could i use for defrag and disk optimization?
[02:07] <AAA> selfharm  fsck
[02:08] <mwe> AAA: can a user mount /dev/fd0 ?
[02:08] <evilghost> GeleGrodan:  I guess I'm a little confused.  You'll need some deb files to fulfill the dependencies.
[02:08] <selfharm> AAA, thanks mate
[02:08] <BHSPitMonkey> I didn't know fsck defragged.
[02:08] <AAA> mwe  I believe so if the /mnt/point is rx
[02:08] <threeonefour> mwe that worked   but will i have to do that all the time
[02:08] <fistandantilus> it doesnt defrag, defrag is basically nill in linux
[02:08] <mwe> BHSPitMonkey: it doesn't. ext3 doesn't suffer much from fragmentation though
[02:09] <mwe> threeonefour: well no not if we fix fstab
[02:09] <AAA> mc does some defrag stuff I think (could be just high)
[02:09] <BHSPitMonkey> right.
[02:09] <selfharm> mwe, i need to maintain a fat32 drive, not ext3
[02:09] <evilghost> ext doesn't fragment in Linux like NTFS/Fat, there are still non-contigious files but not fragmentation that is an impact to performance linux Fat/NTFS filesystems.
[02:09] <threeonefour> mwe how do i do that
[02:09] <mwe> selfharm: oh
[02:09] <AAA> fsck.vfat
[02:09] <uber_mort> evilghost:  We're golden, we have dual monitors working and everything, now just a bit of fixing on the resolutions and we'll be premo
[02:09] <mwe> threeonefour: well first make a proper mount point. sudo umount /mnt; sudo mkdir /mnt/floppy
[02:09] <uber_mort> evilghost: thanks agian for the help
[02:10] <h3h_timo> AAA, pastebin isnt responding when i try to post this
[02:10] <AAA> h3h_timo  you can /query AAA
[02:10] <Aberrant22> Anyone have ideas for Samba...it doesn't start properly when I reboot and I have to restart the service (but works fine after restart)
[02:10] <evilghost> uber_mort:  Amazing dude, rock on.  Glad to help.  Don't forget about "nvidia-settings" and adding "nvidia-settings -l" to X Session startup.
[02:10] <jason> is there any way to add Apollon to the Gnome "Applications" menu?
[02:11] <h8red> am I not able to mount a hard drive even though it is fat32?
[02:11] <fistandantilus> ala carte
[02:11] <mwe> threeonefour: did you do that?
[02:11] <fistandantilus> if your in dapper, ala carte menu editor under accessories
[02:11] <mwe> Aberrant22: you have to look at the log files
[02:12] <threeonefour> sudo: unmount: command not found
[02:12] <mwe> threeonefour: type what I said instead
[02:12] <mwe> threeonefour: umount. not unmount
[02:12] <redondos> Some friend is having a problem installing any Dapper release, including ubuntu x86 and x86-64 and kubuntu x86-64. The problem seems to be in the installer, it freezes when it reaches the stage in which it configures APT.
[02:12] <recon0> Does anybody know of a GUI for Festival?
[02:12] <redondos> Do you have any ideas as to what may be causing this?
[02:12] <linux_user400354> i installed the ubuntu-calendar package and now i have a ubuntu background picture with a naked girl that changes once a month
[02:12] <AAA> threeonefour  umount
[02:12] <evilghost> linux_user40034:  Give me the name of that package ;P
[02:13] <Phantom784> evilghost: apparently, my computer doesn't like the ati driver, and it won't start x.  i booted into knoppix to fix the problem, which is what i'm in now
[02:13] <redondos> Clicking the cancel buton works fine, he can cancel the installation. But it froze for over 40 minutes in that stage.
[02:13] <evilghost> Phantom784:  Odd...  If it ever dies you can logon to the local console and type "sudo apt-get install nano" install Nano, then "nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and change the line back to Vesa.
[02:13] <Aberrant22> threeonefour: When I ran grep samba /var/log/*  I noticed that it said that /etc/samba/smbusers didn't exist.
[02:13] <threeonefour> ok did that
[02:14] <threeonefour> now waht
[02:14] <linux_user400354> evilghost: sudo apt-get install -y --force-yes ubuntu-calendar*
[02:14] <evilghost> Phantom784:  When it failed to load did /var/log/Xorg.0.log show any issues?
[02:14] <Phantom784> evilghost: i'll check that now
[02:14] <mwe> threeonefour: ls /mnt. does it show floppy there?
[02:14] <digitalpenguin> hey all
[02:14] <threeonefour> yes
[02:14] <mwe> threeonefour: good
[02:14] <val25> how can I run selinux utils ????
[02:14] <linux_user400354> evilghost: is that working for ya?
[02:15] <Morvock_Emrys> Hey guys, I was wondering what you would suggest for partitioning a dual boot HD for a first time user.
[02:15] <owen_> how do you refresh your desktop? or something similiar so it displays the image you set the background as right a way?
[02:15] <jason> how come apollon doesn't show up in a la carte menu editor either?
[02:15] <mwe> threeonefour: sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak && sudo nano /etc/fstab and put '/dev/fd0        /mnt/floppy    vfat    noauto,users    0 0' on the last line
[02:15] <jason> it's definitely installed
[02:15] <Phantom784> evilghost: i see some client rejected at local host stuff
[02:15] <val25> Anyone, how can I run selinux utils ????
[02:15] <evilghost> linux_user400354:  I was being a little sarcastic, sorry :)
[02:15] <mwe> threeonefour: I suppose it's a fat floppy (dos/windows)
[02:15] <threeonefour> ya
[02:16] <evilghost> Phantom784:  any EE lines?
[02:16] <Aberrant22> Morvock_Emrys: If you have a good enough system, I'd suggest running vmware to run your xp.  I'm much happier that way (and I use Ubuntu much more now)
[02:16] <mwe> threeonefour: did you do the fstab stuff?
[02:16] <jason> is there any reason Apollon isn't in my Applications menu and doesn't show up in a la carte ?
[02:16] <threeonefour> mwe i don't understand that fstab stuff
[02:16] <Phantom784> evilghost: yea, xf860OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/wacom
[02:16] <mwe> threeonefour: sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak && sudo nano /etc/fstab and put '/dev/fd0        /mnt/floppy    vfat    noauto,users    0 0' on the last line
[02:17] <recon0> jason: some apps just don't put themselves in a menu. You probably have to do it manually in alacarte, if you know the console command.
[02:17] <threeonefour> type all of that
[02:17] <AAA> jason  look in the debian menu
[02:17] <mwe> threeonefour: yes first sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak to create a backup
[02:17] <jason> AAA the debian menu's empty :(
[02:17] <Aberrant22> Morvock_Emrys: Otherwise just google dual boot windows ubuntu.  There's a lot info there and tutorials
[02:17] <scottevil> hello ya'll, been lurking for a while, got a question
[02:17] <Morvock_Emrys> Aberrant22: I already have XP-64 installed and I didn't know if I should do a /home partition or no. Also how much room I should give Ubuntu or XP. I don't want to undercut them, and since I have 300 worth a space, I should have plenty to spare anyways
[02:17] <AAA> jason  what window manager? gnome?
[02:17] <scottevil> anybody set up to boot ubuntu from a RAID drive?
[02:17] <val25> Anyone, how can I run selinux utils ????
[02:17] <jason> AAA yes Gnome
[02:18] <mwe> val25: are you running an selinux kernel?
[02:18] <micahcowan> (gnome's not a window manager...)
[02:18] <val25> Im running ubuntu
[02:18] <linux_user400354> what the fuck???? i installed all of the ubuntu calendar packages and now i have background pictures of the entire ubuntu development team naked on my background. the girls were fine, but now i have naked guys and thats not cool.
[02:18] <jason> under a la carte the debian menu is empty
[02:18] <mwe> val25: then no
[02:18] <AAA> micahcowan  fair enough
[02:18] <val25> how can I run ???
[02:18] <mwe> val25: selinux is a bitch anyway
[02:18] <digitalpenguin> anyone able to tell me why after i just re-installed ubuntu that i am still getting errors about : clvm
[02:18] <digitalpenguin>  redhat-cluster-suite
[02:18] <digitalpenguin>  system-config-cluster
[02:18] <recon0> linux_user400354: my god, don't tell me you're being serious.
[02:18] <jason> is there a cli fix?
[02:18] <mwe> val25: you need to read about selinux. sorry
[02:18] <val25> ok
[02:18] <mwe> val25: it's not for the faint of heart
[02:18] <micahcowan> linux_user400354, the package said "semi-nude models", not specifying the gender.   Ubuntu probably only needs 10 gig of space max for the non-media stuff.  You can create a fat32 partition to be able to view the files for both
[02:19] <threeonefour> :~$ sudo cp /ect/fstab /ect/fstab.bak
[02:19] <Ron> hi, I get automatically logout after a while of inactivity, and all my runnung programs are lost, is there a way to disable this?
[02:19] <threeonefour> cp: cannot stat `/ect/fstab': No such file or directory
[02:19] <linux_user400354> recon0: dead serious
[02:19] <digitalpenguin> anyone able to tell me why after i just re-installed ubuntu that i am still getting errors about : clvm,redhat-cluster-suite,and system-config-cluster
[02:20] <mwe> threeonefour: not ect
[02:20] <threeonefour> sorry i am used to contrl c
[02:20] <jason> is there any way to add apollon to the menu besides a la carte?
[02:20] <mwe> threeonefour: copy paste what I tell you
[02:20] <threeonefour> ione sec
[02:20] <mwe> threeonefour: highlight the commands I type with the mouse and paste with the middle button
[02:20] <recon0> linux_user400354: then tell me the package name.
[02:20] <threeonefour> done
[02:20] <Aberrant22> Morvock_Emrys:  Otherwise, it's all pretty much up to you.  As you said, you have plenty of space to spare...so just depends on personal taste
[02:21] <threeonefour> sorry i did that first part
[02:21] <micahcowan> recon0, ubuntu-calendar; he's mentioned it like five times already...
[02:21] <AAA> recon0  he is just a troll
[02:21] <threeonefour> i'm new on linux
[02:21] <mwe> threeonefour: you made a backup? ls /etc/fstab.bak. is it there?
[02:21] <Morvock_Emrys> Aberrant22: So do you think making a /home partition would be a good idea, or just a hassle for a first time user?
[02:21] <linux_user400354> recon0: sudo apt-get install -y --force-yes ubuntu-calendar*
[02:21] <evilghost> Phantom784:  Sorry, back, bathroom break.  The WACOM stuff is normal, any other issues/events?
[02:21] <Slasher> not to interupt you guys but, when I try to boot off the install disk with my sata drive plugged in it pannics with "VFS not syncing"
[02:21] <AAA> Morvock_Emrys  hassle, no reason to really for first time
[02:22] <threeonefour> yes
[02:22] <Slasher> Morvock_Emrys: If you're using it at home for your self don't bother
[02:22] <linux_user400354> recon0: you might have to enable universe and multiverse repos. i am not sure which repo it comes from.
[02:22] <threeonefour> next
[02:22] <Morvock_Emrys> ok, cool. Thanks guys
[02:22] <micahcowan> AAA, I haven't seen him say anything trollish, other than in response to your rudeness...
[02:22] <hou5ton> good evenign
[02:22] <Aberrant22> Morvock_Emrys: Yeah, what AAA said, heh.
[02:22] <Aberrant22> or not
[02:22] <mwe> threeonefour: did you make the backup ?
[02:22] <Aberrant22> oof, people still use dialup?
[02:22] <threeonefour> yes
[02:22] <mwe> threeonefour: ls /etc/fstab.bak it's present?
[02:23] <Slasher> and i hate them all
[02:23] <threeonefour> mwe i checked that using the file browser
[02:23] <Aberrant22> Okay, going to try to reboot and see if just touching the missing file will work
[02:23] <Aberrant22> brb
[02:23] <Slasher> is there a way to get around the kernel panic?
[02:23] <mwe> threeonefour: good. now sudo nano /etc/fstab. put "/dev/fd0        /mnt/msfloppy    vfat    noauto,users    0 0" on the last line and save. no quotes though
[02:25] <linux_user400354> recon0: did that work?
[02:25] <scottevil> asking again...anybody set up ubuntu and XP to dual boot from a hardware RAID setup?
[02:25] <threeonefour> mwe like this in terminal     sudo nano /etc/fstab /dev/fd0        /mnt/msfloppy    vfat    noauto,users    0 0
[02:25] <recon0> hey, I'm 13. I'm not seriously going to try it.
[02:25] <linux_user400354> recon0: okay wait untill you are 18 lol
[02:26] <Slasher> what ever it is to it now before you get tried as an adult
[02:26] <owen_> i keep changing my desktop background but nothing happens, am i suppost to do something else to make it display?
[02:26] <DanaG> Hey, if I want to install a new kernel (2.6.17), what do I do?
[02:26] <threeonefour> mwe is that right
[02:26] <DanaG> I need Yonah frequency table support.
[02:26] <CyberkillerLapto> Hi, i was wondering if someone could possibly help me, whenever i try to load the live CD to go install i get this error [137.340363]  buffer I/O error on device dm-0, logical block 3152098
[02:26] <linux_user400354> owen_: are you sure you have it installed?
[02:26] <CyberkillerLapto> it repeats over and over
[02:27] <DanaG> What does Ubuntu do to make it so you need their kernel?
[02:27] <linux_user400354> owen_: install all of the packages. there is one for each month.
[02:27] <scottevil> danag: I don't think there is anything in ubuntu that forces u to use their kernel
[02:27] <scottevil> I just built one from the sources and didnt see anything restrictive
[02:27] <scottevil> only deal is if you want to package up a new kernel
[02:28] <CyberkillerLapto> Anyone? =(
[02:28] <owen_> whats the name of those wallpaper packages for each month?
[02:28] <navreet> hi, my fonts are _a little_ blurry... anyone have any ideas? for example = is not as clear as it is under windows
[02:28] <threeonefour> mwe?
[02:28] <scottevil> mwe left 3on4
[02:28] <Slasher> CyberkillerLapto: they seem to be ignorring live cd questions
[02:28] <Slasher> :(
[02:28] <CyberkillerLapto> =(
[02:28] <DanaG> Is there anything in Ubuntu that makes their kernel any _better_ than others?
[02:28] <linux_user400354> owen_: working now?
[02:28] <CyberkillerLapto> but the live CD IS the instlaler CD
[02:28] <fistandantilus> navreet: running gnome?
[02:28] <CyberkillerLapto> D=
[02:28] <navreet> fistandantilus, yea
[02:28] <Slasher> yeah, it's 1 disk
[02:28] <owen_> the problem was, i was setting a background directly from firefox
[02:29] <CyberkillerLapto> and you can only ge tto instlal through live
[02:29] <scottevil> dana: probably just that they have tested it a little
[02:29] <scottevil> but just a guess
[02:29] <CyberkillerLapto> get to intall*
[02:29] <threeonefour> ok then can someone help me then
[02:29] <CyberkillerLapto> install*
[02:29] <owen_> what are the names of those wallpaper packages linux_usver?
[02:29] <fistandantilus> navreet: system, prefs, fonts, there are options to try for different font looks
[02:29] <navreet> fistandantilus, tried them all
[02:29] <owen_> user*
[02:29] <linux_user400354> owen_: ubuntu-calendar*
[02:29] <fistandantilus> navreet: try a different font? other than that no idea
[02:29] <navreet> the Monochrome's = looks clear, but then everything else looks terrible
[02:29] <Section12> DanaG: The fact that it is built with *most* configurations
[02:29] <Slasher> CyberkillerLapto: I'm getting a kernel panis about vfs not syncing from the live cd, can't install myself
[02:29] <Phantom784> evilghost: no, nothing else
[02:30] <fistandantilus> CyberkillerLapto: bad drive, or bad disc, try booting ide=nodma if its the drive
[02:30] <linux_user400354> whats the best irc client for ubuntu?
[02:30] <fistandantilus> !best
[02:30] <ubotu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[02:30] <CyberkillerLapto> just add ide=nodma at the end of the boot line?
[02:30] <threeonefour> I NEED HELP
[02:30] <DanaG> Oh, but what would I do about restricted-modules on a new kernel?
[02:30] <fistandantilus> CyberkillerLapto: yup

[02:33] <fistandantilus> CyberkillerLapto: how fast are you burning it? have you used the 'check cd' option on the grub menu?

[02:33] <Aberrant22> bnD: I run VMware server since it's free.  There's a good tutorial on the forums on how to install
[02:33] <fistandantilus> wheels3572: no

[02:33] <CyberkillerLapto> ill do that now
[02:33] <wheels3572> ok

[02:33] <threeonefour> sudo nano /etc/fstab /dev/fd0        /mnt/msfloppy    vfat    noauto,users    0 0
[02:34] <AAA> threeonefour  if you added all the crap in fstab just sudo mount -a (with the floppy in the drive)
[02:34] <Aberrant22> Waterbou:  Do you know what chipset it is?
[02:34] <bnD> Aberrant22, do you know the difference between that and vmware player?
[02:34] <Waterbou> aberrant22, I could find out...  What would I do then?
[02:34] <digitalpenguin> anyone able to tell me why after i just re-installed ubuntu that i am still getting errors about : clvm,redhat-cluster-suite,and system-config-cluster
[02:34] <micahcowan> threeonefour, the stuff starting from /mnt/msfloppy is what he wanted you to type into /etc/fstab, and then save.
[02:35] <AAA> threeonefour  can you pastebin your /etc/fstab plz
[02:35] <Slasher_> ok, gonna try the live cd again
[02:35] <Aberrant22> bnD: vmware player can't set up vm images.  though you can create them manually (you'd have to google that) or download the trial version of vmware workstation and then use vmplayer after

[02:36] <Slasher> that's just funny
[02:36] <micahcowan> threeonefour, no... he did not want you to actually paste your screen into IRC... that's a good way to get kicked...
[02:36] <Aberrant22> Waterbou: Tho you have to delete the interfaces from the /etc/network/interfaces file.  All but the lo
[02:37] <Kookookapo1> Hi m im trying to dual boot with dapper already on my hd. I have installed win xp successfully but i cannot choose to boot either win xp or ubuntu. I have changed the menu.lst to boot windows but i need to replace the windows booter to GRUB. does anyone know how?
[02:37] <ompaul> threeonefour, I take it you have finished now - please visit http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org and bookmark it for future reference

[02:37] <AAA> threeonefour  hold
[02:37] <digitalpenguin> what is the command to install kubuntu as well
[02:37] <fistandantilus> digitalpenguin: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[02:37] <Aberrant22> Kookookapol: Did you install winxp after ubuntu?  XP screws with grub, usually better to install linux after winxp
[02:37] <rogenar> is there a simple way to reformat?
[02:37] <linux_user400354> owen_: install a few more packages besides ubuntu-calendar. i believe you have to install some packages for different months.
[02:37] <threeonefour> ok AAA
[02:38] <digitalpenguin> thank you i forgot the -desktop part i was getting confuse
[02:38] <linux_user400354> owen_: then change your desktop background by right clicking your desktop
[02:38] <Waterbou> Aberrant22, I might be back then...
[02:38] <Slasher> haha, what the christ.... the boot just spammmed "CDROM open failed"
[02:38] <micahcowan> threeonefour, as AAA said, you still need to add the line about "/mnt/msfloppy    vfat    noauto,users    0 0"
[02:38] <Aberrant22> Waterbou: Okay, hope it works.  Not sure i'll be here...but we'll see
[02:38] <nocarrier> rogenar: just reformat?
[02:38] <rogenar> nocarrier, yes
[02:38] <Kookookapo1> Aberrant22: ya i installed xp after ubuntu. I realized that gaming is alot easier in xp and i didnt want to wipe my precious dapper
[02:39] <nocarrier> rogenar: what fs?
[02:39] <rogenar> ext3
[02:39] <Kookookapo1> All i need now is to know how to replace the XP loader with GRUB

[02:41] <micahcowan> threeonefour, you can use nano (that's what "sudo nano /etc/fstab" meant)
[02:41] <Aberrant22> blabit: Feel free, I guess that's why we're here...Heck, I may even be able to answer it

[02:42] <micahcowan> threeonefour, just add the extra line in, then Ctrl-O Ctrl-X, I believe.
[02:42] <blabit> Ok, I just installed edubuntu for the first time (never used linux before) and am wondering why I can only see one of my hard drives?
