[01:43] <kitsch> i need to change the volume keyboard shortcuts to change the volume of PCM instead of Master or whatever is the default (for some reason only PCM actually affects volume on my computer). does anyone have a suggestion on how to do this? i've checked keyboard shortcuts prefs but found nothing there.
[01:43] <soundray> barry89, one way to do this is to log out, then login on the console, then issue rm -rf ~/.gnome* and rm -rf ~/.gconf*, but...
[01:43] <rohan> robotgeek: i use screen only for irssi, and it happens unexpectedly, i cant reproduce as and when i want :(
[01:43] <soundray> barry89, after that you'll have to start configuring gnome from scratch.
[01:44] <ubuntu> alguien habla espaol
[01:44] <kwtm1> If I've installed a number of deb packages, where are they stored on my hard drive, so that I don't have to download them again when I install them on my other computer?
[01:44] <soundray> kwtm1, /var/cache/apt/archives/
[01:44] <thoreauputic> ubuntu: we told you the channel for that - #ubuntu-es - this is an english channel
[01:44] <barry89> soundray, :( ... thanks for the help, I am not willing to start reconfiguring gnome from scratch though. I will update the forum thread and see if anyone else has any input.. thanks again
[01:45] <kwtm1> ubuntu: no hablo bien espanol; busca #ubuntu-es
[01:45] <kwtm1> soundray: thanks!
[01:45] <fearl> thoreauputic: lunitik here, I've been banned in here for something like 3 months now... any chance you can remove the ban?
[01:45] <mvhenten> I'd prefer to use free software tho. crossover office looks nice, but...
[01:45] <soundray> barry89, the keyboard settings are buried somewhere in those dir's, but I don't know where.
[01:45] <thoreauputic> fearl: really? oh boy
[01:45] <biel>  hi there! I do not know if this is the right channel, but I am looking for information on how to make a live distro (like ubuntu ;-)  ) can anyone help me ?
[01:45] <thoreauputic> fearl: /msg me please
[01:46] <mvhenten> biel, try knoppix?
[01:46] <robotgeek> kitsch: try right clicking on the volume applet. then link it to control both master and pcm. that might work
[01:46] <rohan> robotgeek: my god, the screen problem happened again!
[01:46] <soundray> biel, google for 'debian from scratch'
[01:46] <rohan> i took a screenshot
[01:46] <traveller> i'm using breezy, when i connect a dialup modem the new route doesn't get added so i have to do it manually, is there a way to automate this?
[01:46] <rohan> interested anyone ?
[01:46] <biel> yes , I know knoppix ... but i think Ubuntu uses morphix, am I right ? :)
[01:46] <adam_> biel, www.knopper.net
[01:46] <biel> Ok ! Debian from scratch ! :)
[01:46] <barry89> soundray, ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/accessibility/keyboard/%gconf.xml
[01:47] <fearl> biel: gnoppix is affiliated with ubuntu...
[01:47] <soundray> biel, you could also check out the dfsbuild package in ubuntu.
[01:47] <robotgeek> rohan: really really weird
[01:47] <soundray> barry89, do you want to risk rm'ing that?
[01:47] <barry89> if I delete it, will it remake itself?
[01:47] <kitsch> robotgeek: thanks! but it does not seem to work...
[01:47] <soundray> barry89, I believe so, but I won't promise.
[01:47] <robotgeek> kitsch: oh well.
[01:47] <biel> Ok ! Thank you very much palls :)
[01:48] <biel> see ya ! :)
[01:48] <barry89> ctrl + alt + backspace still works
[01:48] <soundray> barry89, there is hope yet :)
[01:48] <rohan> robotgeek: wait a sec
[01:48] <EvilPaddy> Can someone please try this link for me in FireFox (Breezy), It keeps bombing out on me, broswer window just disappears: http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/Cplusplus/First-Steps-in-C-Programming-continued/

[01:49] <robotgeek> uggh
[01:49] <purplefeltangel> why is spamassassin totally *not* working?
[01:49] <fearl> purplefeltangel: set any rules?
[01:50] <purplefeltangel> fearl: like, filters?
[01:50] <fearl> purplefeltangel: yes...
[01:50] <robotgeek> rohan: does it happen if you use a different terminal emulator, other than gnome-terminal?
[01:50] <purplefeltangel> fearl: yeah i did
[01:50] <fearl> purplefeltangel: spamassasin learns, but isn't really that effective from the start....

[01:50] <rohan> robotgeek: havent checked. trying urxvt. but how will i know ? i cant reproduce the problem manually.
[01:51] <purplefeltangel> fearl: i only just got ubuntu like last week. so that makes sense.
[01:51] <purplefeltangel> fearl: also, in evolution, hwo can i get images to load in messages automatically?
[01:51] <rsilva> Hello, I have discovered that "updatedb" seems to reserve some memory that looks leaked to the "free" command. Is this normal?
[01:51] <soundray> EvilPaddy, it works here.
[01:51] <kwtm1> Hmm... with a name like EvilPaddy, do we know that that web page isn't going to take over Firefox or something? :)
[01:51] <robotgeek> rohan: it's really really weird :)
[01:51] <fearl> purplefeltangel: I don't have it installed... but its somewhere logical in the prefs...
[01:52] <kwtm1> EvilPaddy: Works in Konqi, though...
[01:52] <Seveas> spamassassin on Ubuntu is sooo not working
[01:52] <soundray> EvilPaddy, kwtm1, I believe in Firefox security :)
[01:52] <rohan> robotgeek: yes, and i dunno how to reproduce the problem. i am on screen with urxvt
[01:52] <Seveas> search bugzilla for the latest report about it, it has an explanation why
[01:52] <EvilPaddy> kwtm1, Yes, thats right..
[01:52] <soundray> EvilPaddy, try loading with images and javascript off.
[01:52] <purplefeltangel> fearl: ok i will try to find it. t hank you
[01:52] <kwtm1> Maybe if you changed your name from EvilPaddy to InnocentGuy or something ....
[01:53] <orbx> does anyone know of a good avi plugin for totem player?
[01:53] <barry89> soundray, :( ... didn't work
[01:53] <soundray> kwtm1, that's when I'd get suspicious
[01:53] <willii> hello all need help with audio in breezy badger 5.10 drivers for RealTek 5.612.413.2004
[01:53] <PetLovingPaddy> What ya think!
[01:53] <soundray> barry89, did you log out before you rm'ed the directory?
[01:53] <benny> hmmm ive no idea...
[01:53] <barry89> no soundray
[01:53] <barry89> should I have ?
[01:53] <fearl> orbx: apt-get install gstreamer0.8-plugins-multiverse gstreamer0.8-ffmpeg ffpeg ...
[01:54] <soundray> barry89, if you don't, gnome writes back its config files on exit.
[01:54] <barry89> lol alright cheers
[01:54] <barry89> brb
[01:55] <orbx> fearl > that didn't work
[01:55] <Goatocausto> hey anyone able to help me with a partition problem ?? i installed ubuntu earlier today and decided i didnt want it, anyhow, now i removed it and have the partition taking up free space that i need... its a dumb question i know but im trying to use partition magic to get the space back
[01:55] <Goatocausto> do i just make the now "unallocated" space into for example a ntfs partition, and then "merge" it back with my other hdd partition ??
[01:56] <fearl> orbx: ffmpeg...
[01:56] <fearl> orbx: I had a spelling mistake  :/
[01:56] <Seveas> Goatocausto, simply resize the existing partition..
[01:56] <soundray> Goatocausto, am I getting you right, you're looking for Partition Magic support here?
[01:56] <Goatocausto> mm ok i get your point :S lol
[01:56] <topyli> orbx: or you can use totem-xine and install the w32codecs which will handle evil codecs better
[01:57] <barry89> soundray, how am I going to remove the file? when I log out I can't get to another terminal to remove the file
[01:57] <fearl> topyli: false actually... the gstreamer codecs seem to provide better clarity here...
[01:57] <soundray> barry89, you need to log in on the text console.
[01:57] <barry89> soundray, I cant get to the text console?
[01:57] <barry89> soundray, oh the session
[01:57] <barry89> soundray, ok. brb
[01:57] <benny> is anybody able zo help me with:  sudo tail -f /var/log/messages

[01:57] <MrApex_Linux> question
[01:58] <MrApex_Linux> how do i install themes on Gnome?
[01:58] <topyli> fearl: yeah well, my knowledge may be outdated, gstreamer is getting better all the time
[01:58] <benny> the message comes continous
[01:58] <soundray> benny, meet me in #ubuntu-de
[01:58] <Seveas> benny, that's a normal message
[01:58] <benny> k, thx
[01:59] <jose> hi, is there any firewall in ubuntu?
[01:59] <Seveas> !firewall
[01:59] <yatesy> iptables
[01:59] <vitadrinker> Hallo
[01:59] <ubotu> I guess firewall is Ubuntu has, like every other linux distribution, firewalling built into the kernel. A simple frontend to this firewall is firestarter. see !firestarter
[01:59] <topyli> MrApex_Linux: get the themes from art.gnome.org or somewhere, then just drag the packages to the theme manager
[01:59] <topyli> jose: are you sure you need one? :)
[02:00] <jose> no, i am trying to configure driverloader, from linuxand
[02:00] <jose> uy
[02:00] <jose> linuxant
[02:00] <MrApex_Linux> oh right
[02:00] <orbx> totpyli > i will just use vlc ;)
[02:00] <MrApex_Linux> im usiing Gnome-Loog
[02:00] <MrApex_Linux> Look*
[02:00] <jose> and when i try to configure it, i cannot open the page, it is <IP_ADDRESS>:18020, i think...
[02:00] <topyli> MrApex_Linux: all the same
[02:00] <jose> so i thought maybe a firewall is bloking it
[02:01] <topyli> jose: by default, there is no firewall
[02:01] <jose> ok, so what can be wrong then?
[02:02] <MrApex_Linux> wow thats easy
[02:02] <MrApex_Linux> thanks
[02:04] <Pegasos989> is there a command in tetrminal for dling a file to desktop? For example "DL http://goatse.ca/index.html /home/pekka/Detop" or something?
[02:04] <Seveas> Pegasos989, wget
[02:04] <kvantti> hi there. anyone know what is the correct place for the all codec package content to cp to when using mplayer?
[02:04] <Pegasos989> Seveas, thanks
[02:05] <thoreauputic> Pegasos989: cd ~/Desktop ; wget -c <your URL>
[02:05] <SLSneak> Hi! I have a question about the "Code of conduct". It's about the following phrase: "Nobody knows everything, and nobody is expected to be perfect in the Ubuntu community (except of course the SABDFL)". Who are the SABDFL?
[02:05] <Kamping_Kaiser> Mark Shuttleworth
[02:05] <Seveas> !sabdfl
[02:05] <ubotu> Seveas: Bugger all, i dunno
[02:05] <Kamping_Kaiser> hm. i should go and sign that actualy
[02:05] <thoreauputic> SLSneak: self appointed benevolent dictator for life ;)
[02:06] <kvantti> would a place for mplayer to find codecs be the mplayer root dir, or do i need to use another dir?
[02:06] <j813> I saw a 510 dvd .iso is that complete with KDE, add ons, etc?
[02:06] <SLSneak> thoreauputic> Lol, ok :) Am I condoning dictators if I sign the code?
[02:06] <Kamping_Kaiser> kvantti: /user/local/codecs
[02:06] <fearl> kvantti: /lib/win32 holds the codecs for w32codecs
[02:07] <Hoxzer> but you can't tuuurn back the tiiimeee
[02:08] <peter_> does anyone get corruption on the display after switching to a virtual terminal, using the latest breezy fglrx drivers? couldnt find anything in the forums
[02:09] <soundray> peter_, I can't switch to a vt at all anymore.
[02:09] <peter_> what happens when you try to?
[02:09] <kvantti> Kanping_Kaiser i have no such directory in my system. just create one?
[02:09] <soundray> peter_, screen freezes and I have to ssh into the box to reboot.
[02:10] <Kamping_Kaiser> kvantti: yes
[02:10] <peter_> soundray: with me the display is corrupted, in both dvi and analog modes.
[02:11] <soundray> peter_, that's annoying.
[02:11] <thoreauputic> SLSneak: I guess Mark would cll himself sabdfl if he had any notions of genuine dictatorship ;)
[02:11] <thoreauputic> *wouldn't
[02:11] <soundray> peter_, but I see it as the price for using proprietary software...
[02:11] <Kamping_Kaiser> thoreauputic: *benevolent* ;)
[02:12] <thoreauputic> Kamping_Kaiser: ah, but all dictators want you to believe they are benevolent <evil grin>
[02:12] <peter_> soundray: also i can ping my box, but i couldnt ssh to it after screen corruption.
[02:13] <Kamping_Kaiser> thoreauputic: you telling me ;) remember it's not the system of govt, it's how it's used :)
[02:13] <purplefeltangel> dude, the Demented Cartoon Movie isn't working.
[02:13] <soundray> peter_, isn't it funny that all these bugs would be fixed in no time if ATI just opened their specs?
[02:14] <thoreauputic> john how^H^H^^H erm sorry ASIO, I didn't say anything , honest
[02:14] <Kamping_Kaiser> lol
[02:14] <robotgeek> thoreauputic: isn't the ^H actually valid here :)
[02:15] <peter_> soundray: there are some free drivers for ATI stuff, arent there? have you tried them?
[02:15] <thoreauputic> robotgeek: out of control is more like it ;)
[02:15] <Kamping_Kaiser> peter_: yes, but they don't do many cards IIRC
[02:15] <robotgeek> thoreauputic: i din't say nothing :)
[02:15] <kwtm1> Anyone know why, when I try to use KMid to play midi files, it says "open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory"?  How do I create the correct device file so I can play midi?  Some package I should install?
[02:15] <soundray> peter_, yes I have, but I need GL acceleration. Professionally, of course.
[02:16] <thoreauputic> robotgeek: your secret is safe with me ;-)
[02:16] <peter_> oh didnt realize free drivers dont support hw accel.
[02:16] <soundray> peter_, some do, but I couldn't get any of them to work on my system.
[02:16] <peter_> i used to have a nvidia card. drivers worked quite well, but it had a really noisy fan :(
[02:17] <purplefeltangel> "go into the bathroom at work and spend half an hour grunting and groaning in a stall. emit a final scream and exit holding a large hen's egg."
[02:18] <soundray> Do you know of any well-supported alternative to NVidia and ATI cards with hw acceleration?
[02:19] <mtupper> hey all, does anybody know how I can change the association for the web browser from Konquerer to Firefox so that the many k-apps I am using like Kopete or Kmail open Firefox as the web browser instead of Konquerer...???
[02:19] <purplefeltangel> i am having sound problems, can someone help me?
[02:19] <robotgeek> mtupper: in preferences, you'll find default browser
[02:19] <thoreauputic> mtupper: file associations in kcontrol IIRC
[02:21] <thoreauputic> !tell kwtm1 about midi
[02:21] <peter_> soudnray: had i known about ATI issues i would have bought a quiet nvidia card. havent really looked into it much, just got the cheapest at the time!
[02:22] <soundray> peter_, NVidia isn't that much better. I tried to get output from the VGA on a laptop with GeForce. Gave up after many hours.
[02:23] <classic_> anyone with experience how to burn a pal dvd (for example with cinelerra)?
[02:25] <purplefeltangel> can someone help me fix my sound?
[02:25] <SLSneak> purplefeltangel> What's wrong with it?
[02:26] <purplefeltangel> slsneak: just plain not working.
[02:26] <ompaul> purplefeltangel, what kind of sound card have you got?
[02:26] <purplefeltangel> ompaul: "Dell Sound Blaster Live!"
[02:26] <thoreauputic> purplefeltangel: you probably need to tell people what card you have and what symptoms and error messages you are seeing
[02:26] <purplefeltangel> thoreauputic: no symtoms except that nothing will play.
[02:26] <oNe^somewhere> does any1 know how to make XMMS play mp3 files from a networked windows pc ?
[02:26] <purplefeltangel> *symptoms
[02:27] <peter_> soundray: i thought that they were ok. did you use drivers from nvidia's site?
[02:27] <thoreauputic> purplefeltangel: have you run alsamixer and checked for muted channels ?
[02:27] <purplefeltangel> thoreauputic: um, i double-clicked on the speaker icon and unmuted everything in there, if that's what that means....
[02:28] <soundray> peter_, yes, I tried pretty much every variation.
[02:28] <Robbster> lo all. I'm trying to compile putty for breezy (yes, I know it is in the repository, but I need to change the src)
[02:28] <ompaul> purplefeltangel, are you running 5.10 or 5.04?
[02:28] <purplefeltangel> ompaul: 5.10
[02:28] <ompaul> hmm
[02:29] <thoreauputic> purplefeltangel: any output from  lsmod | grep snd ?
[02:29] <soundray> peter_, in the end I think it was partly the laptop's fault, because the display switch key combination didn't work like it did in MS Windows.
[02:29] <Robbster> I've installed the 'build-essential' package and the compile gives an error: '/bin/sh: gtk-config: command not found' what am I missing?
[02:29] <thoreauputic> (don't paste it here btw)
[02:29] <purplefeltangel> thoreauputic: yes
[02:30] <thoreauputic> purplefeltangel: what happens if you try the multimedia selector in the system prefs menu ?
[02:30] <purplefeltangel> thoreauputic: a window comes up talking about output and stuff
[02:30] <joe__> hullo, xserver appears to be broken in dapper -- can anyone confirm?
[02:30] <thoreauputic> purplefeltangel: yes of course - but have you tried various combinations and tested them/
[02:31] <thoreauputic> ?
[02:31] <purplefeltangel> thoreauputic: no? ^^; i dont like to change things, haha
[02:31] <purplefeltangel> anyway, i gotta go to school :S
[02:31] <thoreauputic> purplefeltangel:  :/
[02:31] <purplefeltangel> yus i am a losar.
[02:32] <purplefeltangel> i have been using windows since my formative years
[02:32] <purplefeltangel> anyway, bye
[02:32] <vhaarr> Hey, I'm having some problems with the X server after upgrading to the latest xserver-xorg-core package -- it says in the Xorg log that it can't find the 'mouse', 'kbd', 'GLcore' and 'sis' modules. Anyone know how to fix this, or is it a known problem?
[02:32] <joe__> vhaarr: same here -- I think the module packages are mismatched with the new core pkg
[02:33] <Cope> ok... new install of breezy badger; as normal user if I go to 'conputer' and try to mount a floppy I can't; yet in a terminal I can mount /dev/fd0
[02:33] <vhaarr> joe__: Indeed .. Do you know how to fix this locally? I'm quite keen on getting X running again :P
[02:33] <Cope> this is ok for me, but the machine is for my mother, who won't want to keep doing that every time she wants to use a floppy!
[02:33] <joe__> vhaarr: Well... the modules seem to be installed in a different place in the new core
[02:34] <Kamping_Kaiser> Cope: tried setting the fs type to 'vfat,ext2' in fstab?
[02:34] <vhaarr> joe__: Aha, so I'd have to create symlinks for all of them? :S
[02:34] <joe__> vhaarr: I tried (ugh) symlinking the old driver and input dirs into the new module directory, but that just produced link errors
[02:34] <Firetech> I got my shipit cds today :)
[02:34] <Cope> how can I make the computer - floppy mounter work (the graphical one) - I'm unfamiliar with these things, normally I do it manually
[02:34] <vhaarr> right
[02:34] <Cope> Kamping_Kaiser: will try...
[02:34] <vhaarr> joe__: Yeah, GLcore gets a symbol error.
[02:34] <Firetech> large pile of free software
[02:34] <joe__> vhaarr: I've resorted to apt-get update every few seconds :-S
[02:35] <vhaarr> joe__: Me too :(
[02:35] <joe__> vharr: btw there's already a bug report: #20033
[02:35] <vhaarr> thanks
[02:37] <oNe^somewhere> i got a question bout the kernels
[02:37] <oNe^somewhere> i installed the i386 kernel 1st but later added the 686 ... do i need to remove the 386 ?
[02:37] <joe__> vhaarr: I guess you could try downgrading the core package
[02:38] <mustard5> oNe^somewhere, best not to
[02:38] <Kamping_Kaiser> oNe^somewhere: you don't need to no
[02:38] <mustard5> oNe^somewhere, its a good standby if you have problems
[02:38] <oNe^somewhere> so leave both in there
[02:38] <mustard5> oNe^somewhere, yeah
[02:38] <Cope> i still get: Error: Given UDI is not a mountable volume
[02:38] <vhaarr> joe__: Yeah .. Do you know how I do that? Maybe there's a guide, I'll search google.
[02:38] <mustard5> oNe^somewhere, unless it really creating space issues for you
[02:38] <carsten> hi, anyone with a hp-notebook here?
[02:38] <oNe^somewhere> k ..wasn't sure coz it's upgrading both
[02:38] <Robbster> how do I find the package that contains gtk-config?
[02:39] <Robbster> carsten, not I
[02:39] <joe__> vhaarr: I don't have the old pkg cached... so I'm not sure how to proceed...
[02:39] <mustard5> Robbster, packages.ubuntu.com has a search function for finding files in packages
[02:39] <Robbster> mustard5: thx. Loading it right now :_
[02:39] <mtupper> thoreauputic: thanks, that was easy... took so long cuase I got really sidetracked, fixing a bunch of other thorns in my side. Thanks again, out...!
[02:39] <joe__> vhaarr: I'm not even sure whether/how long old packages are cached in the repositories
[02:40] <vhaarr> joe__: I found it, give me a second.
[02:41] <vhaarr> joe__: old versions should be present in the archives.
[02:41] <classic_> anyone with experience how to burn a pal dvd (for example with cinelerra)?
[02:41] <carsten> classic_: k3b?
[02:42] <vhaarr> joe__: gah, didn't work. I'll try downgrading a few more packages.
[02:42] <classic_> carsten: thanks, but the problem isn't the burning or the filesystem itself, it's just that the burnt dvd is extremly "flickering" on the tv
[02:42] <MadnessReigns> hi all. I am new to linux, and trying to get my new ubuntu install onto an existing windows network. I got a message saying to run SMB (samba?) but can't find what i need to do
[02:43] <MadnessReigns> can anyone help, or tell me where to find info?
[02:44] <Robbster> k, how do Iinstall the libgtk1.2-dev package that contains gtk-config? I've already got the universe repository set up, but the package manager doesn't find it :(
[02:44] <vhaarr> joe__: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xorg/xserver-xorg-core_6.8.2-77_i386.deb
[02:45] <joe__> vhaarr: Ah! Does that work?
[02:45] <thoreauputic> Robbster: it's in main
[02:45] <thoreauputic> !info libgtk1.2-dev
[02:45] <ubotu> libgtk1.2-dev: (Development files for the GIMP Toolkit), section libdevel, is optional. Version: 1.2.10-17build1 (breezy), Packaged size: 1120 kB, Installed size: 3736 kB
[02:45] <vhaarr> joe__: I'm trying now.
[02:46] <csezol> how do i update my package list ? Isnt the command apt-get update ?
[02:46] <MadnessReigns> anyone? how to get mt ubuntu onto an existing (Windows) network?
[02:46] <vhaarr> MadnessReigns: Check the wiki, there should be some info there.
[02:46] <joe__> vhaarr: Yup, that works :)
[02:46] <vhaarr> joe__: \o/
[02:47] <csezol> how to update my apt-get list ?
[02:47] <joe__> vharr: Thanks! :)
[02:47] <vhaarr> sudo apt-get update
[02:47] <thoreauputic> csezol: yes, with sudo in front of it :)
[02:47] <Fanfoua> pourquoi turbo print arrive  faire des drivers pour les imprimantes canon pixma & co, et pas nos passionns bnvoles du libre ?
[02:47] <thoreauputic> csezol:  sudo apt-get update
[02:47] <vhaarr> joe__: :)
[02:47] <kvantti> anyone know what should i do now that i have cpd everything in codec package all into the informed folders and i still get the error "cannot find wmdvmod.dll"
[02:47] <Robbster> thoreauputic: that is really odd. I've searched for libgtk1.2 and I get three matches (all installed). libglib1.2, libgtk1.2 and libgtk1.2-common. no -dev.
[02:47] <Fanfoua> sorry...
[02:48] <thoreauputic> Robbster: something wrong with your sources.list ?
[02:48] <joe__> vhaarr: Maybe add the "fix" to bugzilla? I'm not sure of the ettiquette...
[02:48] <csezol> thoreauputic, yes.. but it has to do a lot of things i think.. and it only echoes two rows of text.. ( note: i installed hoary hedgehog today, not yet updated anything.. )
[02:48] <Robbster> humm, lemme see.
[02:48] <vhaarr> joe__: I'm doing it now, yes.
[02:48] <Cope> ah... google indicates this floppy problem is a pmount problem... and I should get 0.9.6 - not so great on a machine that's not on the network
[02:48] <vhaarr> joe__: Done.
[02:48] <thoreauputic> csezol: did you install on a box not connected to the net?
[02:49] <pitti> Cope: at least it's in breezy-backports now
[02:49] <csezol> thoreauputic, what do you think ?
[02:49] <csezol> i _am_ connected to the net..
[02:49] <pitti> Cope: and pmount is very small, not a problem with an usb stick or so
[02:49] <Cope> ah good idea - I have a usb stick here
[02:49] <thoreauputic> csezol: OK you are on hoary now, I take it - so your sources.list is incomplete for some reason I suspect
[02:49] <joe__> vhaarr: Cool :) Now to unbreak my xorg.conf...
[02:49] <csezol> but while installing there was a problem with the servers in my lan.. that was the reason why i installed ubuntu.. :P i hadn't have to do anything else
[02:50] <thoreauputic> ah
[02:50] <thoreauputic> csezol: have a look at ubotu's URLs below
[02:50] <Fanfoua> how is it that turbo print can make drivers for canon pixma... printers and not passionate people of free softwares ?
[02:50] <thoreauputic> !sources
[02:50] <ubotu> A list of official repositories can be found at http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/969 (Hoary) or http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/2325 (Breezy) - Create your own sources.list at http://ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
[02:51] <MadnessReigns> ok, have found how to install samba - download (apt-get) ... but my net connection is not working on my ubuntu box.....
[02:51] <thoreauputic> Fanfoua: they pay for information I would guess
[02:51] <Red-Sox> hi
[02:52] <thoreauputic> Fanfoua: canon are not known for co-operating with free software developers
[02:52] <Robbster> thoreauputic: I'm getting md5sum mismatch errors. I've also done an apt-get clean; apt-get update.
[02:52] <glyn> how can I get w32 codecs?
[02:52] <thoreauputic> !w32codecs
[02:52] <ubotu> methinks w32codecs is binary only codecs that some call evil., and they're available from http://giannaros.org/public/breezydebs/
[02:53] <Fanfoua> thoreauputic: they are losing a bigger and bigger market, that's weird...
[02:53] <thoreauputic> Robbster: apt-get clean just wipes out the cache
[02:53] <csezol> thoreauputic, what should i do now ?
[02:53] <glyn> I don't use breezy, will these still work?
[02:54] <thoreauputic> csezol: use one of those lists and put in /etc/apt/sources.list with , say,  gksudo gedit
[02:54] <thoreauputic> csezol: if you are on hoary use the hoary list of course
[02:54] <thoreauputic> glyn: yes
[02:54] <thoreauputic> glyn: codecs are codecs - they work on any distro in fact
[02:55] <csezol> csezol, sure.
[02:55] <csezol> :)
[02:55] <thoreauputic> assuming they are in the right place of course :)
[02:55] <steven_> hi all
[02:55] <steven_> how do i install fonts?
[02:55] <Robbster> lo steven

[02:55] <thoreauputic> steven_: ^^^^

[03:00] <augustin> hello
[03:00] <augustin> is there anyway to detect whether or not my USB aDSL modem disconnected, and to launch a series of command (to relaunch it and to restart the firewall)
[03:01] <augustin> ?
[03:01] <Cope> pitti: all sorted, got the new pmount on a usb stick and dpkg -i'd it :)
[03:02] <pitti> Cope: great
[03:02] <Cope> pitti: bit of a dodgy one though... imagine a brand new user... they'd be very confused and would know where to google or what to ask
[03:02] <pablo> algun chileno
[03:02] <redguy> what does one need to get 3d acceleration working on a intel 82845 integrateg graphics card?

[03:03] <thoreauputic> !es
[03:03] <ubotu> Hispanohablantes: Por favor usen #ubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[03:03] <redguy> !i810
[03:03] <ubotu> redguy: I don't know
[03:03] <Cope> pitti: c'est la vie
[03:03] <pitti> Cope: mainly because I released it *after* the breezy release
[03:03] <david__> ola
[03:03] <augustin> is cron a webserver-only command ?
[03:03] <SLSneak> I'm starting to feel somewhat stupid now, how exactly do I upgrade from 5.04 to 5.10 without loosing all my settings?

[03:03] <david__> im crazy
[03:04] <SLSneak> thoreauputic> Please do :) Synaptic tells me to go to the homepage, but I can only find install isos there...
[03:04] <thoreauputic> !breezy
[03:04] <ubotu> The guide to upgrading to breezy (5.10) is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade
[03:04] <csezol> how can i upgrade/update a specified package ( or all of them ) to the current release ?
[03:04] <SLSneak> Thanks!
[03:04] <thoreauputic> SLSneak: didn't you get a pm from ubotu?
[03:05] <thoreauputic> csezol: to upgrade your whole install, type  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[03:06] <csezol> thanks
[03:06] <thoreauputic> to update a particular package, sudo apt-get install <packagename>
[03:06] <csezol> thoreauputic, and if i have that package already ? do i have to remove it first ?
[03:06] <thoreauputic> csezol: no
[03:07] <thoreauputic> csezol: if it's the latest , apt will tell you - else it will upgrade it for you
[03:07] <gnomefreak> anyone else having problems with the iptable and Xkeys updates?
[03:07] <csezol> thoreauputic, thanks

[03:09] <linkd> ok
[03:09] <thoreauputic> csezol: did youmean you wanted to change from hoary to breezy ? (5.10)
[03:09] <thoreauputic> csezol: if so that's different
[03:09] <csezol> thoreauputic, if possible even to 6.04 f. 1
[03:09] <linkd> i dont think 6.04 is available yet :P

[03:11] <linkd> oh. the gnome one?
[03:11] <gnomefreak> yeah
[03:11] <SLSneak> Step 2: I updated the source repositories and clicked "mark all upgrades" and "smart upgrade". Now I can definately see that it want's to remove ubuntu-desktop. That doesn't sound to good...
[03:11] <csezol> if i apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, will i have after it both kde and gnome, or only kde ?
[03:11] <linkd> just try it in the terminal. sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade
[03:11] <Riddell> csezol: both
[03:11] <linkd> csezol: both
[03:12] <mipe> Where is library for C++?

[03:13] <csezol> What's the difference between edubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-desktop ? only the wallpapers ?
[03:13] <gnomefreak> csezol, i think the packages are different in sence that edubuntu is for education purposes maybe
[03:14] <P229> happy Thanksgiving!!!
[03:14] <thoreauputic> csezol: edubuntu installs educational packages :)

[03:22] <thoreauputic> :)
[03:22] <xc_legend> where would a . file be listed
[03:22] <bezibaerchen> xc_legend: mkdir .grellm :-)
[03:22] <bezibaerchen> or let your fileexplorer show hidden files
[03:22] <thoreauputic> xc_legend: hit ctrl-h to see dot files
[03:22] <bezibaerchen> on a shell "ls -la"
[03:22] <xc_legend> cool thanks just untar them in that file and they will be ready to use?
[03:22] <thoreauputic> xc_legend: in the file manager you can also make dot files visible in the preferences
[03:23] <bezibaerchen> so, anybody using kontact? :-)
[03:23] <thoreauputic> xc_legend: you might find it's .gkrellm2/Skins or something like that
[03:23] <thoreauputic> xc_legend: you don't need to untarttthem either
[03:24] <FireCat> Is there a amd64 smp kernel for breezy?
[03:24] <xc_legend> i have untared them i just wanted to place them in the directory
[03:24] <IRCMonkey999> When using Synaptic Package Manager, I get "cant connect to local host" error and i'm unable to update :(

[03:24] <Red-Sox> yikes, i only have 1.6gigs left, can someone help me with gmail fs?
[03:25] <fruud> how do i connect to my brothers pc's terminal ? (can i do that ?)
[03:25] <Iknos> hi there
[03:25] <xc_legend> cool i found it
[03:26] <Dr_Willis> fruud,  a serial terminal?
[03:26] <gnomefreak> Red-Sox,  is it a gmail issue or an ubuntu issue?
[03:26] <thoreauputic> fruud: if he's running linux and openssh server, you can connect with ssh
[03:26] <reiki> is flash generally a problem? There's a flash chat app that crashes all browsers here but is fine in windows
[03:26] <xc_legend> so , I would just place them in the respective file?
[03:26] <fruud> i just want to be able to connect to his terminal, he uses same ubuntu as me
[03:26] <fruud> 5.10
[03:26] <ompaul> fruud, on ethernet if you have a username and password ssh -C username@machine (where machine can be an ip address or a machine name)  if he has sshd running
[03:26] <Iknos> anybody knows how to download packages already installed with apt? [w/o reinstalling them, btw =]
[03:26] <thoreauputic> xc_legend: it's a directory IIRC
[03:27] <Iknos> i need to get them AND their dependencies
[03:27] <xc_legend> sorry
[03:27] <Iknos> there is something like "emerge --empty-tree -f"?
[03:27] <thoreauputic> xc_legend:  actually i just checked - the dir is .gkrellm2/themes/
[03:27] <Dr_Willis> Iknos,  so basicially you want to mirror the whole package tree. :P
[03:27] <duke> hi there
[03:27] <gnomefreak> Iknos,  if you run sudo apt-get install <packagename> it should include the depoendecies
[03:28] <fruud> it didnt work :( ompaul
[03:28] <fruud> <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:28] <augustin> anyone knows how i can reset every network-related config file to default ?
[03:28] <fruud> ops
[03:28] <fruud> Connection refused
[03:28] <duke> i ve got a problem with installing and starting eclipse
[03:28] <fruud> that i get
[03:28] <ompaul> fruud, don't paste here - however he has to have sshd running
[03:28] <Iknos> Dr_Willis: i need to download all build-essential dependencies
[03:28] <Iknos> which I've already installed
[03:28] <fruud> how does hi start it ?
[03:28] <thoreauputic> fruud: most likely there's no server to connect to
[03:29] <ompaul> fruud, it needs to be installed first
[03:29] <fruud> apt-get install ssh ?
[03:29] <thoreauputic> fruud: he would need to install openssh-server (on ubuntu)
[03:29] <fruud> kk
[03:29] <Dr_Willis> Iknos,  thhats on the install cd. i belive. just not installed by default.
[03:29] <ompaul> fruud, sudo apt-get install  openssh-server <<<
[03:29] <duke> it always comes an Error "Unable to read workbench state.."
[03:29] <fruud> ty
[03:30] <gnomefreak> Iknos, if you ran sudo apt-get install build essential it should have installed them already
[03:30] <Iknos> Dr_Willis: uhm, and what about unicorn and unicorn-source?
[03:30] <Iknos> gnomefreak: i need to download them, not install them
[03:30] <IRCMonkey999> When using Synaptic Package Manager, I get "cant connect to local host" error and i'm unable to update or instal new packages :(
[03:30] <Iknos> they are already installed =) I've to put them on a cd
[03:30] <xc_legend> ok it worked
[03:30] <gnomefreak> Iknos, can i ask why you would want to download them and not install them?
[03:30] <Dr_Willis> Iknos no clue there.. problem can get to be  if you want ALL dependencies.. well it can depend on X, and loads of Libs.. and so forth.. and get to be a lot of stuff.
[03:31] <xc_legend> i have all  the files in there i just need to untar them
[03:31] <Dr_Willis> gnomefreak,  offline machine is my guess.
[03:31] <Iknos> Dr_Willis: exactly
[03:31] <gnomefreak> Dr_Willis,  ummmmmmmm wouldnt you need internet connection to download them?
[03:31] <trpdx> Hello. What are the special flags used for under the perimissions tab under file properties?
[03:31] <glyn_> Anyone know where to get truetype fonts?
[03:31] <thoreauputic> xc_legend: if they are individual tarballs you don't need to - gkrellm can read them
[03:31] <xc_legend> ok thanks i have them in the file i just need to untar them now I tried one and it worked thanks again
[03:31] <Badm4n> hello
[03:32] <Dr_Willis> gnomefreak,  hes wantoing to dowload them on machine X.. and copy them to machine Y.
[03:32] <gnomefreak> ohhhhhhhh
[03:32] <thoreauputic> xc_legend: OK :)
[03:32] <thomascott> Hi!
[03:32] <Dr_Willis> actually - dont all the installed packages - get saved to a cache on machine X.
[03:32] <glyn_> is there a package that contains truetype fonts?
[03:32] <Dr_Willis> that'd make it easier.
[03:32] <Red-Sox> what is the command to unzip files?
[03:32] <IRCMonkey999> what does failed to fetch mean?
[03:32] <Badm4n> i have Ubuntu 5.10 and linksys 11 wusb 2.4 .... any one please tell me step by step procedure to make this thing work ... ASAP
[03:32] <Dr_Willis> Red-Sox,  'unzip' for .zip   (amazing eh?)
[03:32] <Red-Sox> o
[03:32] <thoreauputic> glyn:  several - try typing apt-cache search fonts | grep ttf
[03:32] <gnomefreak> IRCMonkey999,  failed to fetch is failed to get
[03:33] <Dr_Willis> Badm4n,  chedn theubuntu wiki's yet?
[03:33] <Iknos> Dr_Willis: i don't care if it will download ALL packages
[03:33] <Dr_Willis> Badm4n,  check the ubuntu wiki's yet?
[03:33] <Iknos> i just need them =)
[03:33] <xc_legend> thanks again everyone
[03:33] <IRCMonkey999> gnomefreak: this was happening only today.... yesterday i was able to update using the synaptic package manager...
[03:33] <Iknos> there is a way to "modify" apt database
[03:33] <Badm4n> forgot the url :D
[03:33] <thomascott> Can somebody help me with WiFi config ?
[03:33] <Badm4n> can u tell me where is the wiki's url
[03:33] <Iknos> to fake it?
[03:33] <Dr_Willis> Iknos - theres a large cache dir - ya may want to check.. or check the wiki. its doable.
[03:34] <Badm4n> and do you sure on wiki there is a solve of my prob ?
[03:34] <Dr_Willis> Badm4n,  its right there in the topic. :P
[03:34] <Losty> hellow
[03:34] <gnomefreak> IRCMonkey999,  if it is saying failed to fetch us.archive.ubuntu.com than try again later the server is prolly down
[03:34] <Badm4n> :p
[03:34] <Badm4n> i c
[03:34] <Losty> spanish here ??
[03:34] <Badm4n> :D
[03:34] <Iknos> Dr_Willis: you mean /var/cache/apt?
[03:34] <thoreauputic> Iknos: you can use the -d option for apt to download only
[03:34] <Dr_Willis> Badm4n,  not sure - but its the place to look first.. asking for 'step' by step directions  is not a good idea on irc..  best to find somthing you can read.
[03:34] <Iknos> thoreauputic: it doesn't download already installed packages
[03:34] <Losty> please, help me
[03:35] <Iknos> [and their dependencies]

[03:35] <glyn_> hmm a program is trying to open something and it points to the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/ as if there were truetype fonts there, but that directory doesn't even exist
[03:35] <IRCMonkey999> gnomefreak: oh ok...., but it says problem on my system "Could not connect to localhost:80 (<IP_ADDRESS>). - connect (111 Connection refused)"
[03:35] <Badm4n> change the question :D
[03:35] <thoreauputic> Iknos: well, no - but some or most of them would be in /var/cache/apt/archives
[03:35] <Badm4n> anyone know how to make linksys 11 WUSB 2.4 work in ubuntu 5.10 ?
[03:35] <thomascott> Ok, I explain my prob : I have installed and configure my WiFi card, and it works well, But I have changed of ISP, so Change of DNS...
[03:35] <Iknos> thoreauputic: i clean that dir once a week
[03:35] <thoreauputic> Iknos: *shrug*
[03:35] <thomascott> But as soon as I reboot, it take the former config
[03:35] <Losty> please
[03:35] <Iknos> thoreauputic: =)
[03:36] <gnomefreak> IRCMonkey999,  ive never run into that but if linux is like anything else the 80 is your port that connects you to net
[03:36] <Losty> i am newbie
[03:36] <Dr_Willis> wireless can be SUCH a pain at times..
[03:36] <thoreauputic> !es

[03:36] <Losty> Dr_Willis, i need install skype and limewire
[03:36] <earthen> where can i get the w32codecs for 64bit ubuntu
[03:36] <IRCMonkey999> gnomefreak: but why would it try to connect to my computer rather than an ubuntu server ?
[03:36] <thoreauputic> earthen: you can't
[03:36] <Losty> i have ubuntu hoary
[03:37] <earthen> thomascott, doh!
[03:37] <trpdx>  What are the special flags used for under the perimissions tab under file properties?
[03:37] <gnomefreak> Dr_Willis, losty said he wanted spanish so me and thoreauputic  gave the es output from ubotu :)
[03:37] <thoreauputic> earthen: they are 32 bit as the name implies
[03:37] <gnomefreak> IRCMonkey999,  i dont know are you able to be online on that pc right now?
[03:37] <thomascott> doh ?
[03:38] <Dr_Willis> Losty,  yea? you have checked https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeHowto  yet?
[03:38] <Losty> gnomefreak, ok man
[03:38] <thoreauputic> thomascott: tab complete error methinks
[03:38] <IRCMonkey999> yup... i can browse... use IRC... i'm chatting now :)
[03:38] <Losty> Dr_Willis,  i make tutorial
[03:38] <earthen> thoreauputic, yeah I know but thought there was a 64 bit equivalent
[03:38] <Losty> and not good results
[03:38] <Losty> :(
[03:38] <thomascott> what do you mean ?
[03:38] <gnomefreak> IRCMonkey999, did you try apt-get update yet?
[03:38] <akonkwa> Hi everyone
[03:38] <earthen> thomascott, sorry that was ment for thoreauputic
[03:39] <shotgun> g'mornin
[03:39] <Dr_Willis> Losty,  ive heard of some skype issues with alsa.. but thats about all i know.
[03:39] <thoreauputic> earthen: people who need that use a 32 bit chroot - but don't ask me how ;)
[03:39] <shotgun> happy turkey day
[03:39] <thomascott> lol
[03:39] <Iknos> Dr_Willis: uhm, i've found that [15:40]  SparK ~ $ sudo apt-get --reinstall install build-essential
[03:39] <akonkwa> If I have installed a game in m windows session, can I play it in ubuntu , using wine?
[03:39] <IRCMonkey999> gnomefreak: no... i'm not sure how to do that.... new to linux and i depend on GUI a lot
[03:39] <Iknos> download the packages
[03:39] <Iknos> download the package
[03:39] <shotgun> akonkwa, maybe cedega, look at "games" in the help area
[03:39] <Badm4n> sorry i repeat
[03:39] <Iknos> now i need apt to download its dependences
[03:39] <shotgun> akonkwa, in the user guide actually
[03:39] <Badm4n> anyone know how to make linksys 11 WUSB 2.4 work in ubuntu 5.10 ? ( last word no repeat again ) :D
[03:39] <Losty> Dr_Willis, no open my skype, only i can see in Internet my icon of skype
[03:40] <thoreauputic> akonkwa: probably not - unless you buy cedega or use the cvs code and build it yourself
[03:40] <akonkwa> shotgun: wih user guide?
[03:40] <thoreauputic> Losty: skype is very slow to open
[03:40] <Dr_Willis> IRCMonkey999,  yea. but its best to copy the whole c:/program files/game over to your .wine/fake_windows (or whatever its called now) dir. Just in case  it needs to write to the disk
[03:40] <gnomefreak> IRCMonkey999,  open up a terminal should be in applications than accessories when it is open type without the quotes "sudo apt-get update" and see if any errors are showed
[03:40] <shotgun> akonkwa, i think the user guide references some sites to configure this
[03:41] <shotgun> why does skype not show up for an apt-cache search?
[03:41] <IRCMonkey999> oh ok... doing that now gnomefreak
[03:41] <Losty> thoreauputic, yes is very slowly but never open skype
[03:41] <Losty> :s
[03:41] <odoyletul> i need help with ubuntu i cant dial up
[03:41] <thoreauputic> shotgun: because it isn;t in the repos
[03:41] <odoyletul> to my internet
[03:41] <shotgun> thomascott, why?
[03:41] <Losty> i can see , in Internet, only icon
[03:41] <Losty> :s
[03:41] <shotgun> thomascott, and how do i know what is and is not in the repos, before i start stepping over the package management system?
[03:41] <akonkwa> shotgun: okay thanx, By the way, i have downloaded a cedega from limewire, how do I use it to play the game?
[03:41] <Dr_Willis> Badm4n,  not checked the wiki yet eh? ---> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Linksys_WUSB11
[03:41] <thoreauputic> shotgun: becuse it's commercial and ubuntu isn't legally able to include it
[03:42] <shotgun> thomascott, how does gentoo get away with it?
[03:42] <Badm4n> on my way
[03:42] <Badm4n> thx for the complete url
[03:42] <thoreauputic> !skype
[03:42] <ubotu> somebody said skype was http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/SkypeHowto/ Breezy deb: http://seveas.ubuntulinux.nl
[03:42] <shotgun> thomascott, in gentoo i did an emerge doom3 skype ut2004 quake4
[03:42] <shotgun> and they all installed
[03:42] <thoreauputic> shotgun: I have no idea
[03:42] <augustin> shotgun, it's not thomascott it's thoreauputic
[03:42] <augustin> ^^
[03:42] <shotgun> lol, sorry
[03:42] <odoyletul> ubuntu sucks i cant figure out how to get my internet connection atleast with mepis it was easier
[03:42] <Dr_Willis> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Linksys_WUSB11?highlight=%28linksys%29%7C%2811%29%7C%28WUSB%29
[03:42] <shotgun> so i guess its ok to not use apt for some stuff
[03:42] <Dr_Willis> what a ugly url. :P lol.
[03:42] <shotgun> (like games and skype)
[03:42] <thoreauputic> shotgun: yes, practice your tabbing technique ;)
[03:43] <gnomefreak> odoyletul,  have you tried configuring it yet?
[03:43] <thoreauputic> !tell shotgun about skype
[03:43] <trpdx>  What are the special flags used for under the perimissions tab under file properties?
[03:43] <Badm4n> well i'll off for a while
[03:43] <akonkwa> How do I access files with blank spaces in their name?
[03:43] <Badm4n> i'll be back :D
[03:43] <odoyletul> yes i configured it under network and commandline
[03:43] <Badm4n> thx
[03:43] <odoyletul> i dont know how to connect under network
[03:43] <thoreauputic> akonkwa: hit <tab> and complete the name that way
[03:44] <odoyletul> it even detects it
[03:44] <trpdx>  What are the special flags used for under the perimissions tab under file properties?
[03:44] <Dr_Willis> cp 'spaces in this file name'  nospaces
[03:44] <akonkwa> thoreauputic: thanx
[03:44] <arnducky> ubotu, tell me about libdvdcss
[03:44] <Dr_Willis> trpdx,  what special flags?
[03:44] <arnducky> !libdvdcss
[03:44] <ubotu> libdvdcss is, like, NOT in debian - those who even utter its name can expect to be shipped to Guantanamo Bay. for filthy patent-free europeans, see /usr/share/doc/libdvdread?/README.Debian or run /usr/share/doc/libdvdread?/examples/install-css.sh
[03:44] <odoyletul> does activate mean i am connecting
[03:44] <cion> hey all how do I install amule?
[03:45] <gnomefreak> arnducky, me isnt a right command for ubotu next time put your screen name in place of "me"
[03:45] <cion> hey all how do I install amule?
[03:45] <Dr_Willis> try the -->  apt-get install amule      ?

[03:45] <gnomefreak> install*
[03:46] <Dr_Willis> hmm. amule wiki page is itialian.
[03:46] <shotgun> cion, i'm sure you'll want all your multimedia codecs as well
[03:46] <arnducky> ubotu, tell arnducky about libdvdcss
[03:46] <odoyletul> well i am just going back to mepis i guess this ubuntu easy linux for humanbeings was all just hype
[03:46] <IRCMonkey999> gnomefreak: almost same error messages. please look here... http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/4987
[03:46] <arnducky> "Please use private messages, like '/msg ubotu libdvdcss', rather than posting into the channel needlessly.
[03:46] <cion> im trying to wor only with opensource codecs
[03:46] <trpdx> When you select properties for a file and then go to permissions tab, their is listed special flags set user id, set group id and sticky
[03:46] <Dr_Willis> odoyletul,  sure.. whatever...
[03:46] <arnducky> However, I should note that ubotu ignores all /MSG or /QUERY that I send it
[03:46] <cion> is it necessary tu use antivirus with amule?
[03:47] <odoyletul> well my wireless card isnt even detected
[03:47] <Dr_Willis> cion,  i would scan anything you download for windows with a antivius tool - yes.
[03:47] <odoyletul> and i cant connect with my dialup
[03:47] <MrApex_Ubuntu> trying to figure out how to get UT2004 installe
[03:48] <shotgun> MrApex_Ubuntu, me too
[03:48] <cion> whats the best antivirus?
[03:48] <arnducky>  /CTCP ubotu RESPOND!?
[03:48] <shotgun> cion, none on lniux
[03:48] <cion> for ubuntu
[03:48] <gnomefreak> IRCMonkey999, thats a good question im not sure why your getting local host error sorry :(
[03:48] <shotgun> cion, none
[03:48] <odoyletul> any help with dial up here
[03:48] <thoreauputic> arnducky: ubotu ignores unregistered nicks
[03:48] <shotgun> odoyletul, no idea, sorry
[03:48] <arnducky> nada, nothing, zip /dev/null

[03:49] <arnducky> So where is the NICKSRV bot?
[03:49] <markuman> cion: shotgun sure there is one, but for what?
[03:49] <odoyletul> i thought ubuntu was supposed to be easy
[03:49] <Dr_Willis> cion,  the anti-virus software for 'linux' is used normally to scan files for 'windows' viruses.
[03:49] <shotgun> markuman, for scanning windows files
[03:49] <shotgun> markuman, in file share environments
[03:49] <thoreauputic> arnducky: /msg nickserv help
[03:49] <cion> wich tool is that?
[03:49] <arnducky> And if I register, does that mean I have to register everytime I logon?
[03:49] <cion> is it easy to use?
[03:49] <odoyletul> hello
[03:49] <Dr_Willis> odoyletul,  what 'trouble shooting' have you done on your dial up issue.. just saying "it dont work" isent much help at all.
[03:50] <simonvallore> dpkg this jre-1_5_0_05-linux-i586.bin
[03:50] <arnducky> (or if I don't logon, will that mean my nickname is restricted until I do?0
[03:50] <thoreauputic> arnducky: no, but it's a good idea , and your client can make it automatic
[03:50] <simonvallore> how do i depackage that
[03:50] <shotgun> can someone do the "tell" thing and teach me how to find unreal tournment in a repository?
[03:50] <odoyletul> well i configured my connection and modem
[03:50] <simonvallore> how do i depackage dpkg this jre-1_5_0_05-linux-i586.bin
[03:50] <odoyletul> yes it dont connect
[03:50] <odoyletul> i tried commandline and network
[03:50] <thoreauputic> arnducky: if you don't register ubotu will continue to ignore you :)
[03:50] <Dr_Willis> odoyletul,  does it even make noise?
[03:50] <odoyletul> no
[03:51] <odoyletul> everything it connected
[03:51] <odoyletul> fine
[03:51] <fredforfaen> I have a prob , i want to run the i686 kernel....the k7 kernel is currently installed(installed from dvd-hoary then upgraded to breezy).I have installed the i686 kernel and it works fine with "nv" in driver in xorg.conf...but when i follow the instaructions for installing nvidia 3d support it install the 3d driver for the k7 kernel even though i have booted the i686 kernel...what to do?
[03:51] <Dr_Willis>  have you checked -->  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DialupModemHowto       yet?
[03:51] <arnducky> Heh, I've been chatting on Undernet since about 1998 and I've managed to steer clear of their cservice now (aside form a brief bout of weakness in about 2002)

[03:53] <ionte> hi. is it just me that seem to get these random eat-all-memory-and-become-unresponsive-until-swap-is-full-errors much more often on ubuntu than on any other distro?
[03:53] <Dr_Willis> ionte,  i cant say that ive ever had that problem on any disrto.
[03:54] <Ueuecoyotl> simonvallore, the Ubuntu FAQ answers your question
[03:54] <maximum_bass> fredforfaen i persume uve got the source for the i686
[03:54] <arnducky> fredforfaen, I noticed that Unet #ubuntu is up for cservice registration.  What's up?

[04:16] <earthen> could someone give me some help with getting swat to work
[04:16] <wickedpuppy> oblib, older meaning how old ?
[04:16] <oblib> I had the same problem when I tried to run the new Breezy drivers with an old kernel
[04:16] <oblib> wickedpuppy, Geforce 2 440 MX
[04:16] <selinium> ale3hs, THere is a quick fix if you want it?
[04:17] <wickedpuppy> oblib, you tried to run old driver in new kernel and new driver in old kernel ?
[04:17] <oblib> GeForce4 MX 440
[04:17] <oblib> I mean
[04:17] <wickedpuppy> 4 isn't that old ...
[04:17] <oblib> wickedpuppy, the new driver in the old kernel was on a different machine
[04:17] <ale3hs> selinium go ahed
[04:17] <ErgoSum> the install cd mount auto the windows partition?
[04:17] <lucaas> oblib, new driver should work fine
[04:17] <oblib> wickedpuppy, I thought it was Geforce 2
[04:17] <oblib> lucaas, it didn't
[04:18] <lucaas> i have the same card
[04:18] <White-Wolf> Question: Hows does one open g++?
[04:18] <Walla> you dont
[04:18] <oblib> lucaas, instead of loading Gnome, it would go to a black screen with a cursor at the top. The cursor was not blinking.
[04:18] <wickedpuppy> White-Wolf, g++ sourcefile.cpp
[04:18] <oblib> lucaas, I coudln't switch to a term with Ctrl+Alt+F1 or anything
[04:19] <shotgun> there is no c compiler in the default ubuntu install ?!
[04:19] <lucaas> oblib, strange
[04:19] <Walla> White-Wolf you have to say "g++ <yourfile.C>
[04:19] <oblib> lucaas, sometimes a lot of ctrl-alt-deletes would reboot it sometimes not

[04:19] <selinium> ale3hs, You are using breezy?
[04:19] <White-Wolf> is there no compiler? so that i can create the program?
[04:19] <lucaas> oblib, did you try ctrl+alt+backsoace?
[04:19] <token> does anyone know what the default setting in fstab for Options are?
[04:19] <penguinzdr> what's better: xchat or xchat-gnome?
[04:19] <arnducky> I'm geting apt errors even though it's configured automatically by the Ubuntu script (I haven't edited /etc/apt/sources.list at all), so what gives?

[04:20] <Loevborg> Anyone know how to turn on/off subtitles in totem?
[04:20] <oblib> lucaas, I guess I'll try again with the new driver and look at the xorg log. Yes, ctrl-alt-back didn't work either
[04:20] <arnducky> Ahhh, sooo.
[04:20] <selinium> ale3hs, just coppy that all into a term a hit enter!
[04:20] <lucaas> oblib, ok
[04:20] <Walla> White-Wolf, use gedit or emacs or something
[04:20] <Loevborg> Using a keyboard shortcut, that is. it's critical!!
[04:20] <gnomefreak> Penguinzdr i dont like x-chat gnome i use x-chat

[04:20] <MrApex_Ubuntu> ok that unmunted, but but cant eject the physical disk
[04:21] <gnomefreak> Arnducky: im not sure ive never seen one
[04:21] <oblib> lucaas, you have to MX 440 as well? Can you use the TV-out on it?
[04:21] <selinium> ale3hs, The first part makes a copy of your current ources.list, the second part downloads the 'official' one and installs it in place off you old one.
[04:21] <oblib> lucaas, or at least dual monitors?
[04:21] <lucaas> oblib, i dont have tv-out

[04:24] <token> mataniko: rights?!
[04:24] <penguinzdr> where can i find XML::Parser?
[04:24] <token> mataniko: su
[04:24] <thoreauputic> mataniko: because ntfs doesn't support linux permissions

[04:33] <mataniko> winmac_fstab didn't help, mounting wasn't a problem, accessing the drive not as the root user is the problem
[04:33] <thoreauputic> nathanj: although  sleep 8h && mpg321 noisysong.mp3   would be just as easy
[04:33] <zenlunatic> how can i unfreeze my mouse?
[04:33] <nathanj> thoreauputic: that sleeps before the app opens :P
[04:33] <thoreauputic> graabein: computer monitor screens mostly ;)

[04:41] <diesel> Is http://us.archive.ubuntu.com down?  I cannot connect.
[04:41] <thoreauputic> iamkirk: generally you don't use rpm - for .deb use "  sudo dpkg -i file.deb "
[04:41] <selinium> iamkirk, sudo dpkg -i /path/to/package
[04:41] <asdx> theconartist: I can't tell my users to run cli commands, they want to put the floppy and just see what is there
[04:41] <gwark> zenlunatic     https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DMA
[04:42] <iamkirk> i have to install from the terminal window ?
[04:42] <selinium> iamkirk, if you have downloaded them,yes
[04:42] <zenlunatic> selinium: i can't keep rebooting every time
[04:42] <thoreauputic> iamkirk: you  know about apt and synnaptic and package management right?
[04:42] <zenlunatic> selinium: thats the only thing that fixes it
[04:43] <koool> 5.10 can play 3d games, open GL, new games?
[04:43] <selinium> zenlunatic, type   top   in a term. is there something using all the processor?
[04:43] <thoreauputic> iamkirk: it's usually a bad idea to download random debs
[04:43] <ale3hs> selinium, is it possibe to giv me again the wget command to download the sources list to save it in case I need it again coz xchat cleared the screen??
[04:43] <thoreauputic> iamkirk: much easier to use synaptic
[04:43] <zenlunatic> selinium: no
[04:43] <mataniko> ya, ntfs work, umode=0 was what i was missing
[04:43] <selinium> ale3hs, in a term,   sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list_backup && sudo wget http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/d2325 -O /etc/apt/sources.list      <--  All that
[04:44] <iamkirk> i downloaded cedego
[04:44] <iamkirk> thats the one im trying to run
[04:44] <thoreauputic> bah that was pointless
[04:44] <iamkirk> and i have it in .rpm and .deb format
[04:44] <mataniko> one more thing, how do i add hebrew support?
[04:44] <XBozz> hey, does anybody knows how can i install wmaker here?
[04:45] <ale3hs> thanx selinium
[04:45] <selinium> thoreauputic, Have you got any idea why zenlunatic loses his mouse when usiong his CDROM?
[04:45] <mataniko> just text input
[04:45] <selinium> ale3hs, NP  :)
[04:45] <thoreauputic> selinium: no, sorry
[04:45] <penguinzdr> wow BMPx is very cool
[04:45] <thoreauputic> !info wmaker
[04:45] <ubotu> wmaker: (NeXTSTEP-like window manager for X), section universe/x11, is optional. Version: 0.92.0-5 (breezy), Packaged size: 2220 kB, Installed size: 6104 kB
[04:45] <zenlunatic> selinium: im going to reboot and post this to the forums
[04:46] <thoreauputic> XBozz: enable universe then sudo apt-get install wmaker
[04:46] <selinium> zenlunatic, sorry, i dont now how to help.. OK good idea? Good luck!
[04:46] <thoreauputic> or use synaptic
[04:46] <XBozz> but, what can i do to enable universe?
[04:46] <thoreauputic> !tell XBozz about repos
[04:47] <echylo`> look up at the stars!
[04:47] <echylo`> and turn on the brightest one!

[04:47] <thoreauputic> XBozz: read the URL ubotu sent you in pm
[04:47] <echylo`> us times out here
[04:47] <koool> gyta, 5.10 can play 3d games, open GL or new games?
[04:48] <XBozz> ok, tanx all
[04:48] <onispawn> anyone know if us.archive.ubuntu.com having issues?
[04:49] <stagiair> onispawn, it's down
[04:49] <onispawn> stagiair, ok thanks
[04:51] <Sp4rKy> hi
[04:51] <lajuj> Happy Thanksgiving - is anyone else having trouble with access universe, main, and other packages?
[04:52] <john280z> hard time at us.archive.ubuntu.com
[04:52] <stagiair> lajuj, john280z: us.archive.ubuntu.com is down
[04:52] <john280z> OK, thanks for the info!
[04:52] <Sp4rKy> i 've any issue with usb , when i put an usb key or disc , it isn't mounted automatically , anyone have ideas ?
[04:52] <lajuj> thanks for the info, I was afraid it was me
[04:53] <onispawn> does anyone have any suggestions on applications for dvd authoring?
[04:53] <Sp4rKy> onispawn , it exist a good tutorial on web
[04:54] <mios> is there a log that can tell me if an app crashed the system?  besides the "system log" wich is kinda useless
[04:54] <onispawn> Sp4rKy: yea I have read the tutorial. I was just wondering if anyone has a application they like better
[04:54] <trat02community_> Is there any way to configure 2monitors in GUI way???
[04:55] <chr1snv> Does anyone know how to get ubuntu to run off an external usb hd i.e. iPod?, i was told that i would need to edit the initrd file
[04:55] <mios> i have a tv out script for nvidia
[04:55] <trat02community_> ati
[04:55] <mios> you can modify it
[04:55] <mios> ohh
[04:55] <mios> I had an ATI and never got it to work in tv out or dual
[04:55] <sklav> hi guys
[04:56] <trat02community_> :(
[04:56] <koool> how about modify monitor?
[04:56] <zenlunatic> I'm trying to get dma working for my one dvd/burner and its saying /dev/hdc: No such file or directory .  How do I know what device is my cdrom?
[04:56] <mios> its sucked sooo much that I just went to frys and got me a refurb nvidia
[04:56] <trat02community_> yes but it's laptop
[04:56] <mios> ha!
[04:56] <trat02community_> :)
[04:56] <Sp4rKy> onispawn , better than kino/dvdauthor ... no
[04:56] <sklav> anybody experienc issues with us.archive.ubuntu.com when doing an apt-get update?
[04:56] <chr1snv> same here, i think that there i a grudge between open source guys and nvidia
[04:56] <mios> ohh buddy
[04:57] <chr1snv> i mean ati
[04:57] <onispawn> Sp4rKy: alright
[04:57] <reiki> is flash generally a problem? There's a flash chat app that crashes all browsers here but is fine in windows
[04:57] <arnducky> chr1snv, off of an ipod  -- yikes!  (why would you want to n00k your ipod -- it's for playing music, not a true handheld or 'pDA')
[04:57] <mios> yeah
[04:57] <elwood> i need to change from lilo to grub...how can i do this?
[04:57] <mios> maybe that is why my apps are crashing
[04:57] <Sp4rKy> and nobody knows why my usb keys doesn't mount automatically (i'm over openbox)
[04:58] <thoreauputic> * Topic for #ubuntu set by bob2 at Thu Nov 17 18:44:33 2005 Yes us.archive.com is down
[04:58] <Badm4n`Feel`so`E> hello
[04:58] <chr1snv> arnducky, well, its actually more because i am out of hd space and would like to dual boot, also the added benifit of being able to switch btween computers would be cool
[04:58] <mios> hey I'm new here,,, what is Dapper?
[04:58] <sklav> thanks for the update thoreauputic
[04:59] <thoreauputic> sklav: hah
[04:59] <chr1snv> arnduckey, also, i just got a nano and the battery on the old 3rd gen is basically shot anywayz, so it can only really be used as a hd now
[04:59] <sklav> :)
[04:59] <trat02community_> mios: new distro rc in ubuntu
[04:59] <arnducky> chr1snv, you can dual boot from the MBR on your active partition by installing LILO, ELILO, GRUB or MBR
[05:00] <mios> there are tutorials on how to TV out in ATI using the Gastos drivers  or the newer ati  but has to be radeon or better
[05:00] <alley_m> hello @all.... after installing ubuntu this day (realy surprised, great work), changing some settings I am a little disappointed with synaptic packetmanager... it often looks for the install-dvd... but I want to download only from internet.. is there a way to change this settings?
[05:00] <mios> ahh
[05:00] <mios> I see
[05:00] <Badm4n> need help
[05:00] <Badm4n> about linksys 11 wusb2.4
[05:00] <Badm4n> i'll paste the error there
[05:00] <mios> I think you would have a better chance at two heads than at TVout
[05:00] <sklav> comment out fisrt line in /etc/apt/sources
[05:00] <arnducky> If you want to boot from removeable media, yoiu can always make a bootable floppy, CD, DVD or CF-disk (the latter assumes your BIOS supports USB boot devices)
[05:01] <alex__> hello, how can i install ftp server?
[05:01] <sklav> and then run apt-get update
[05:01] <grunt> apt-get install proftpd
[05:01] <chr1snv> arnducky, yes but it wouldnt make my ubuntu install portable, and if i were to install on the ipod, it still wouldnt solve the problem of the kernal not being able to load itself off a usb device
[05:01] <arnducky> sklav, are the ubuntu repositories back on-line now?
[05:01] <Sp4rKy> what 's the dpkg option to extract a .deb without install ?
[05:01] <sklav> arnducky, im only aware of us.archive.ubuntu.com being down
[05:02] <alex__> ssh say he can't find proftpd package
[05:02] <alley_m> thx...
[05:02] <trat02community_> I don't realy need tv out just onother LCD(like separate desktop).
[05:02] <arnducky> chr1snv, then make a live CD/DVD or get yourself a USB harddrive enclosure
[05:02] <mios> what you can do is to go to google and look for ATI config.org sample     and you will find a bunch of posted scripts that you can test. print those out and figure out the code.. very easy. It just didn't work on mine. I think its an oddball ATI  Fryes  go figure
[05:02] <onispawn> Sp4rKy: dpkg -x <package>
[05:02] <arnducky> $16 for USB 2.0 to 2.5" ESDI (laptop drives)
[05:02] <mios> that is how I got mine to work on tvout and double head
[05:02] <thoreauputic> actually I can ping us.archive.ubuntu.com from here ... can anyone else reach it ?
[05:02] <IRCMonkey999> gnomefreak: hi, remember me? i was unable to use the synaptic updates. the problem is with some anonymous proxy that i installed on my computer by mistake
[05:02] <Sp4rKy> onispawn, thx
[05:03] <sklav> thoreauputic, i can ping it also
[05:03] <mios> but after I changed to an Nvidia
[05:03] <trat02community_> ok I'll try, tnx. Just wondered if there is any gui.
[05:03] <arnducky> with about 1.0A draw off the USB bus
[05:03] <chr1snv> arnduckey, and assuming i did get a USB harddrive inclosure, i would still have to find a way to get ubuntu to boot off of it?
[05:03] <sklav> just the apt-get fails always waiting for headers 99%
[05:03] <thoreauputic> sklav: ah - but it isn't working for people ? (I'm in .au)
[05:03] <gnomefreak> IRCMonkey999,  that could do it i dont use proxies so i never see things like that
[05:03] <trat02community_> Maybe it is time to make one ;)
[05:03] <IRCMonkey999> anyone help me with anonymous proxy service on ubuntu
[05:03] <sklav> exactly
[05:03] <onispawn> you can see it, just cant download anything from it
[05:03] <cocox> hi friends, i have two kind of shells in ubuntu... the root one and the common terminal... i'm the admin of my pc, my quetion is i should work with the common terminal and just put my password with sudo for special scripts or just work with the root shell ????
[05:03] <mios> The code is almost the same, exept that on ATI you will different call outs
[05:04] <arnducky> ~$32 for 5.25"  ATA enclosure (also USB 2.0) but powered by a transformer block
[05:04] <sklav> Use Root it recommened ;)
[05:04] <sklav> hehe
[05:04] <alex__> sklav  ssh say he can't find proftpd package
[05:04] <onispawn> ubuntu really needs more mirrors
[05:04] <IRCMonkey999> gnomefreak: any idea how to remove this proxy thing?
[05:04] <trat02community_> ok I see
[05:04] <IRCMonkey999> anyone please help me with proxies on ubuntu
[05:04] <zenlunatic> gwark: hey thanks dma is working and it stopped the skipping
[05:04] <gnomefreak> IRCMonkey999,  wish i did sorry
[05:04] <twidget> Is there a way of decreasing the size of the desktop icons?
[05:04] <sklav> thanks for the update alex__
[05:04] <arnducky> hotplug with udevfs or proc automounts them in /media/usbdrive
[05:04] <trat02community_> I'll try later make some config changes
[05:05] <alex__> what sklav
[05:05] <alex__> ?
[05:05] <gwark> zenlunatic no problems  ;]
[05:05] <arnducky> or /media/usb#
[05:05] <thoreauputic> onispawn: you can remove the us. from your sources to get archve.ubuntu.com or use a different country code
[05:05] <gnomefreak> im assuming archives.ubuntu.com still down?
[05:05] <chrissturm> gnomefreak: use a mirror
[05:05] <mios> if you do Xconfig ...that X configurator thing  from a black screen  non X CLI then you get a better looking Xconfigurator than the Text thing on the normal terminal
[05:05] <alex__> what update?
[05:05] <thoreauputic> gnomefreak: us archive only afaik
[05:05] <sklav> :) you told me ssh cannot find proftpd package
[05:05] <arnducky> chr1snv how about that?
[05:05] <alex__> jo
[05:05] <IRCMonkey999> gnomefreak: i dont think any problem with the archives... just some settings on my computer....
[05:05] <sklav> and i just said thank you for the update ;)
[05:05] <trat02community_> cool
[05:05] <gnomefreak> chrissturm,  dont know how
[05:05] <alex__> and now?  apt-get update ?
[05:06] <chrissturm> gnomefreak: de.archive.ubuntu.com works
[05:06] <gnomefreak> ty brb
[05:06] <IRCMonkey999> gnomefreak: while installing java run time Environment this thing came up asking me do you want to install a anonymous proxy
[05:06] <sklav> ca.archive.ubuntu.com didnt work when i tried it
[05:06] <chrissturm> gnomefreaK. do you know how to edit sources.list?
[05:06] <sklav> i will try it again
[05:06] <IRCMonkey999> and i said yes.... and thats when all the trouble started....
[05:06] <reiki> can someone go to www.cpaptalk.com and click on the chat link? Apparently flashchat is crashing my browser and I'd like to see if it's MY setup or a problem with the app. It works in windows fine
[05:06] <gnomefreak> yes chrissturm
[05:07] <chr1snv> arnducky, uhh? so you are saying that if i simply attach a usb drive with an install on it it will work?
[05:07] <alley_m> ok... one problem, then I will be satiesfied for today *smile... within gnome-desktop u are able to detect new usb-devices (like hdd ), is it possible to have the same feature into xfce4? (just plug-in and a new icon appears like inside gnome)?
[05:07] <reiki> the link is right below the main logo where it says 0chatting live
[05:07] <Stormx2> is a symlink of a folder considered a file or a folder/
[05:07] <Stormx2> ?
[05:08] <alex__> ca.archive.ubuntu.com dons'T worl
[05:08] <reiki> Stormx2, it's considered a symlink
[05:08] <thoreauputic> Stormx2: it's a file
[05:08] <alex__> *work*
[05:08] <arnducky> chr1snv, of course not -- the drive has to be marked bootable and have boot code in sector 1 just like any other boot device.  The point is that grub will be able to see it to make it bootable on just about any modern Linux system.
[05:08] <idiot> I have this program I cannot close "wine-systray" and when I try to killall it, it doesn't work because I don't know the name of it nor the proc ID.. =/, and there is no "X", I use gnome.
[05:08] <thoreauputic> Stormx2: ie you can rm it for example
[05:08] <sklav> ok north america is out
[05:08] <Stormx2> thoreauputic: Cheers
[05:08] <sklav> hehe
[05:09] <twidget> Is there a way of decreasing the size of the desktop icons?
[05:09] <alex__> sklav,  have you reading?
[05:09] <thoreauputic> sklav: wow - I've been waiting for that for years ;P
[05:09] <sklav> hehe
[05:09] <arnducky> And as I said, it can only work with a system that supports booting from USB devices (unless you make a bootstrap CD, floppy or DVD also and they would have to be supported then too)
[05:09] <sklav> sounds crazy
[05:09] <chr1snv> arnducky, right, well ive tryed it and grub works fine, but the problem is that when the kernel trys to load itself, it hasnt loaded the drivers for scisi emulation yet, and cant see the root partition cuz its on a usb drive
[05:10] <sklav> im going to write an /. article
[05:10] <idiot> I have this process running and I cannot close it nor find it in the running processes..
[05:10] <psusi> when I ask synaptic to upgrade libpt-plugins-alsa, it says it is going to REMOVE several packages, including ubuntu-desktop... why on earth would it do this?
[05:10] <alex__> hmm *nohelp* :(
[05:10] <_darius__> us.archive.ubuntu.com down?
[05:10] <alley_m> hm... nobody inside to give at least a hint to usb-mount for xfce4?
[05:10] <sklav> Ubuntu down for all of North America ...people are jumping out of windows. Cities are collapsing under the pressure...read more....at /.
[05:11] <arnducky> well, you need to have the correct drivers in the kernel heh -- you can only put so much in your device's bootsector (up to 64K if you use very large clusters AFAIK)
[05:11] <chr1snv> idiot, did you try running (sudo ps -e) ?
[05:11] <gnomefreak> chrissturm,  de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/main and the restricted give me a could not resolve 'dists' error
[05:11] <idiot> yea
[05:11] <idiot> chrlsnv i cannot find the task, its called "Wine-systray"
[05:11] <idiot> but its not in there.
[05:11] <reiki> what is the off topic channel please? I want to see if I can get this flash app thing straightened out
[05:12] <arnducky> So that's why you would make a live CD with a full kernel including scsi usb emulation api (I thought it was built in but really don't know).
[05:12] <gnomefreak> reiki, #UBUNTU-OFFTOPIC
[05:12] <gnomefreak> sorry for the caps
[05:12] <reiki> gnomefreak, that was almost too easy, huh?  hehehe.. thanks
[05:12] <thoreauputic>  au.archive.ubuntu.com  seems OK
[05:12] <gnomefreak> lol
[05:12] <chr1snv> idiot, ah lol well in that case i have no ideas im here for help too lol
[05:12] <chrissturm> gnomefreak, this is my sources.list line: "deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper main restricted universe multiverse"
[05:12] <Pegasos989> I have a question concering the built in bit torrent client of ubuntu.  I look at a download and it says "1hour, 4 mins left". I go and eat something and come back. It says "1 hour 2 mins left". It has made progress and the speed is nearly twice the one that was there before, but the time left barely changes
[05:12] <psusi> arnducky, the boot sector is allways one sector... which is 512 bytes... clusters have nothing to do with it
[05:12] <chrissturm> gnomefreak, should also work for breezy :)
[05:13] <mios> dudes  I cannot run any app
[05:13] <iamkirk> guys , im really new to linux and have no effing clue how to open cedega
[05:13] <fredforfaen> !backports
[05:13] <ubotu> Add "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-backports main universe multiverse restricted" to /etc/apt/sources.list.  More info @ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports.
[05:13] <arnducky> chr1snv, there used to be a site called 'Roll Your Own Kernel'  -- maybe you want to look them up
[05:13] <mios> not even a terminal
[05:13] <chrissturm> gnomefreak, but be sure to replace "dapper" with "breezy"
[05:13] <chr1snv> ok, i will
[05:13] <arnducky> psusi, I thought that you could fill up the first cluster too
[05:13] <psusi> Pegasos989, I think it just generally sucks... I use bit tornado
[05:13] <mios> I got xchat and stream tuner open and thats it
[05:14] <arnducky> and I thought that you could use 3*512 B
[05:14] <alex__> can someone german
[05:14] <robotgeek> Badm4n: sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[05:14] <thoreauputic> !de
[05:14] <ubotu> Bitte gehen sie nach #ubuntu-de fuer deutschsprachige hilfe
[05:14] <psusi> arnducky, clusters are a thing of filesystems... the MBR exists outside of a filesystem
[05:14] <iamkirk> could someone pm me and give me some newb help...  i am ridiculously new to linux
[05:14] <doudou> hi
[05:14] <chr1snv> arnducky, i still would much rather have it run directly off my old ipod, just wondering, do you know how i could mount and edit the initrd file?
[05:14] <Badm4n> robotgeek : may i know what that for ?
[05:14] <onispawn> nice. I didnt know xmission was hosting a mirror for ubuntu
[05:15] <robotgeek> Badm4n: you don't have kernel headers for compilation
[05:15] <arnducky> psusi, yes, I know but CHS is still a way to designate a physical location
[05:15] <doudou> can someone give a precision concerning modmap loading at Ubuntu startup ?
[05:15] <Badm4n> oh i c
[05:15] <thoreauputic> iamkirk: cedega is kind of off-topic here - you should get support from the people who sold it to you : you*did* buy it, right ?
[05:15] <Badm4n> only that the problem ?
[05:15] <idiot> whats that application that you can run and it brings up an X and you click something and it kills it
[05:15] <gnomefreak> iamkirk,  please ask your question in the room that way more than one person can help if that one person doesnt know
[05:15] <psusi> arnducky, though usually for some antiquated reason, partiioning tools want to align partitions to cylinder bounderies... which means that there is usually up to 8 megs of unused sectors before the first partition starts
[05:15] <Renski> What should I use to read a .dvi file?
[05:15] <arn> #1
[05:15] <psusi> arnducky, so that leaves some extra space boot loaders can use
[05:16] <doudou> anyone can help me ?
[05:16] <arnducky> yeah, you get all kinds of tiny little 'partitions' when yo resize disks that only show up with tools that do a raw read and look at the edges of CHS boundaries
[05:16] <arnducky> like 0.007 MB -- heh
[05:16] <psusi> arnducky, windows usually  just aligns the start of the partition to a head boundery resulting it the partition starting on sector 63... so the boot loader can use the spare sectors 1-62 if it can't entirely fit in sector 0
[05:17] <Badm4n> robotgeek : may i private u ?
[05:17] <idiot> brb
[05:17] <psusi> windows usually aligns the END of the partition on a cylinder boundery though, which is why you usually get up to 8 megs of free space at the end that it wont let you use
[05:17] <doudou> hello ?
[05:17] <twidget> Is there a way of decreasing the size of the desktop icons?
[05:17] <arnducky> psusi, so if you have 1K blocks, then...
[05:17] <doudou> can someone help me ?
[05:18] <twidget> I suppose I'll keep asking until someone helps
[05:18] <psusi> sectors are allways 512 bytes
[05:18] <arnducky> (about 64 KBytes -- get it?)
[05:18] <psusi> we're talking sectors here... clusters are only a construct inside filesystems
[05:18] <doudou> can someone give a precision concerning modmap loading at Ubuntu startup ?
[05:18] <doudou> can someone give me a precision concerning modmap loading at Ubuntu startup ?
[05:18] <psusi> what goes on inside the partition.... I'm tlaking about what goes on outside partitions
[05:19] <Badm4n> robotgeek : is kernel header exist in my CD ? cause i dont have internet connection lol
[05:19] <pepperpot> I'm trying to install ubuntu onto an existing ext3 partition, but when i choose "install base" it keeps bringing me back to the partitioner.
[05:19] <thoreauputic> twidget: I'm not aware of a way to resize desktop icons in gnome
[05:20] <twidget> thoreauputic, thank you
[05:20] <Slackwise> thomhash: Right click an icon on the desktop, select "Stretch icon" ?
[05:20] <Slackwise> errr
[05:20] <Slackwise> thoreauputic:
[05:20] <thoreauputic> Slackwise: is that possible ? i can't check as I'm in fluxbox
[05:20] <doudou> can someone give me a precision concerning modmap loading at Ubuntu startup ?
[05:20] <arnducky> psusi, hmm... perhaps you can explain some issues I've had when trying to shrink partitions with parted and sfdisk, then
[05:21] <Slackwise> thoreauputic: I am currently in GMOME 2.12, so it should be fine in Ubuntu.
[05:21] <thoreauputic> Slackwise: hmm interesting thanks
[05:21] <Slackwise> thoreauputic: No problem. :P
[05:21] <arnducky> And BTW, doesn't the MBR extend to up to three 512B sectors now?
[05:21] <doudou> can someone give me a precision concerning modmap loading at Ubuntu startup ?
[05:21] <psusi> arnducky, I have not used parted... it wouldn't work for me so I had to use ntfsresize and fdisk directly
[05:22] <koool> is there a way too see the NVidia video card settings like Temperature & Overclocking?
[05:22] <tgnb> do i need to download the 5.10 install cd to upgrade to it? or can i upgrade over the internet kind of like gentoo?
[05:22] <thoreauputic> !breezy
[05:22] <ubotu> The guide to upgrading to breezy (5.10) is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade
[05:22] <thoreauputic> tgnb: see that URL
[05:22] <tgnb> thanks
[05:22] <psusi> arnducky, no... the MBR is sector 0.... but like I said before... partitioning tools usually end up leaving at least a few unused sectors between the MBR and the first partition... so boot loaders can use that space
[05:22] <thoreauputic> tgnb: and the answer is yes
[05:22] <psusi> arnducky, grub's stage 1 loader fits entirely in the MBR
[05:23] <thoreauputic> ie you can use the net
[05:23] <doudou> can someone give me a precision concerning modmap loading at Ubuntu startup ?
[05:23] <psusi> arnducky, but if you want, you can install the optional stage 1.5 loader in the free space after the MBR
[05:23] <vbgunz> I've had a real bad problem with Breezy. I hope someone can shine some light on it. For some reason when I get back from leaving the PC running with a screensaver... I don't have a mouse pointer... I cannot use my mouse for anything... I have to restart gdm *but* hate to do this... Anyone know what this problem is?
[05:23] <koool> Guys is there a way too see the NVidia video card settings like Temperature & Overclocking? :)
[05:24] <doudou> can someone give me a precision concerning modmap loading at Ubuntu startup ?
[05:24] <vbgunz> anybody here know what the problem is?
[05:24] <thoreauputic> koool: possibly lmsensors - but that may only be for cpu, mother board etc (not sure)
[05:24] <grunt> lm-sensors not for graphics...
[05:24] <arnducky> psusi, that's what I've done too but WInblows couldn't read the partition afterwars -- I would have needed to use an advanced disk utility to get the data back, so I just retored from an image and used Partition Magic(tm) to resize.  I was 'heartbroken' that parted and ntfsresize didn't live up to the latest hype about them.
[05:25] <thoreauputic> koool: erm ... lm-sensors that should be
[05:25] <koool> in FC4 I've been able to see via the window of the NVidia settings
[05:25] <thoreauputic> grunt: OK thanks
[05:25] <koool> wondering if there's a similar way
[05:25] <Red-Sox> is there a window manager that looks like tiger?
[05:25] <psusi> arnducky, you used ntfsresize and fdisk, or parted?  if you use fdisk, when you recreate the partition, you have to put fdisk into sector mode instead of cylinder mode
[05:26] <doudou> CAN someone please see my problem ?
[05:26] <pepperpot> how should I back up my system before reinstalling ubuntu?
[05:26] <pepperpot> i give up on installing over my existing partition :/
[05:26] <psusi> otherwise it tries to create the partition starting on cylinder 1, but windows made it starting at sector 63
[05:26] <thoreauputic> doudou: loos like no one has the answer
[05:26] <psusi> I made that mistake, then realized what I did, booted from a livecd, and fixed it
[05:26] <arnducky>  psusi have you ever used the make-a-50MB-hidden-part'n-at-the-beggining-of-the-first-physical-disk trick?
[05:26] <thoreauputic> doudou: at least at the moment
[05:26] <arnducky> psusi, I tried it both ways
[05:26] <psusi> arnducky, no
[05:26] <psusi> what trick is that?
[05:27] <doudou> thoreauputic : ok, then, thanks anyway ! :)
[05:27] <psusi> arnducky, you gave fdisk the u command and recreated the partition starting at sector 63?
[05:27] <vbgunz> anybody know why my mouse pointer disappears and I cannot use the mouse after leaving the PC on for a while? Please this problem is the most annoying problem to date... Is there a way to restart the mouse or something without having to restart GDM? Please, any help is appreciated!
[05:27] <Sp4rKy> Does it exist a chan for openbox ?
[05:28] <arnducky> From the old ldp.org howto on multiboot (written in 2000 I think)  They recommend making a small partion at the  beginning of bus0;disk0;part'n:0 -- but I've never been able to trick ntldr that way
[05:28] <timmd> hi all
[05:29] <psusi> arnducky, why would they recommend that?
[05:29] <arnducky> psusi, no -- that msut have been why it failed
[05:29] <pepperpot> should I use "cp -a /mnt/old /mnt/new/backup" to backup my current ubuntu installation?
[05:29] <thoreauputic> Sp4rKy: just tried #openbox but that doesn't seem to exist
[05:29] <Sp4rKy> thoreauputic, no  it join  ##unaiviable
[05:29] <psusi> arnducky, ok... yea... I screwed it up like that too, but fixed it easily... I don't have and would not use partition magic... i don't trust that stuff further than I can throw it
[05:29] <thoreauputic> Sp4rKy: right
[05:30] <Red-Sox> is there mario kart for linux?
[05:30] <Sp4rKy> tu kart
[05:30] <Red-Sox> tu kart?
[05:30] <Sp4rKy> tux kart *
[05:30] <Red-Sox> o
[05:30] <arnducky> psusi, most distro were still using LILO, not GRUB and  I think that may have had something to do with it.  It's been ages since I've looked at that Howto tough, so I'd need to refresh my memory.
[05:30] <gnomefreak> tux kart
[05:30] <psusi> the other day I decided to shrink my ntfs partition down some more and use the free space for a test partition... did it all on the fly... hehe
[05:30] <fec> lol thats for super nintendo
[05:30] <Red-Sox> fec: and n64 and gamecube
[05:31] <psusi> arnducky, maybe they were saying you should make a 50 meg partition under the 8 gig limit for /boot?
[05:31] <DiTz_> Hi guys!
[05:31] <reiki> can someone with a working flash installation in their browser, please try www.cpaptalk.com/chat/flashchat.php and tell me if it crashes your browser in Ubuntu? It works in windows but crashes in Ubuntu here. Trying to see if I have messed up something in firefox and epiphany
[05:31] <fec> Red-Sox, u right, the last console i bought is SNES
[05:31] <DiTz_> I have some problems installing ubuntu
[05:32] <DiTz_> may someone help me??
[05:32] <ubuntu> yowww
[05:32] <ubuntu> ae pessoal
[05:32] <ubuntu> ;]
[05:32] <gnomefreak> DiTz_,  what kind of problems?
[05:32] <Red-Sox> DiTz_, yes
[05:33] <arnducky> psusi, it has a bunch of script wizards jsut to guide newbies through multi-booting with other, especially Linux.  For that reason, and because even though it is still proprietary, Symantec has improved some of the license term, and becasue it's now only $30 and  I was under a deadline, I chose to purchase it via download from their webstore.
[05:33] <wyona> i just installed ubuntu and i want to change my bootloader config, where can i find grub.conf ?
[05:33] <DiTz_> i am newbie, i installed ubuntu, and now after loading it come with a white screen
[05:33] <Syruss> linux is better when you don't use windows near it
[05:33] <ubuntu> were are you scooby-doo ? ;X
[05:33] <arnducky> The old License before the bouhgt out PowerQuest was just insane.
[05:33] <thoreauputic> reiki: crashes here immediately
[05:33] <Renski> Can someone link me with instructions on how to update my sources to update hoary to breezy?
[05:33] <Red-Sox> ever since the kernel update, apt-get doesnt work
[05:33] <ubuntu> the books on the table
[05:33] <ubuntu> table table
[05:34] <ubuntu> ;X
[05:34] <psusi> arnducky, have you looked at gparted?
[05:34] <psusi> arnducky, it looks like it's just as nice or better than partition magic
[05:34] <reiki> thoreauputic, thanks... is flash known to be difficult in Ubuntu? If so I'll simply not bother with this
[05:34] <wyona> dpkg-query -L grub shows no config file for grub, does the installer write is config file somwhere ?
[05:34] <zenlunatic> I added the lines to /etc/hdparm.conf to have dma enabled on every boot but its not working.
[05:34] <psusi> it doesn't work for me though.. doesn't understand my hardware fakeraid
[05:34] <bezibaerchen> wyona: what do u want to change? default boot or boot menu itself?
[05:34] <thoreauputic> reiki: it works OK for me on most sites
[05:34] <arnducky> Syruss, my multiboot systems are better becasue they have Linux -- Aegis just found about forty infected files on windows partitions -- that no online scanner made especially for M$ Windows could find.
[05:34] <wyona> remove some unused entries
[05:35] <Happuf> reiki: works with my 64bit system too.
[05:35] <bezibaerchen> sudo vi /boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:35] <bezibaerchen> wyona: sudo vi /boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:35] <thoreauputic> reiki: I have the non-free plugin (the one you grab when ff prompts you)
[05:35] <reiki> thoreauputic, same here. Just that one app so far. Odd that it works in windows fine.
[05:35] <thoreauputic> reiki: usually works OK
[05:35] <psusi> arnducky, cool
[05:35] <wyona> is this file not part of the "grub" package so dpkg-query -L grub should show it ?
[05:35] <arnducky> Other than that, I don't mount ext3 ever under doze so it';s always my 'fall-back' os if the *#%ing Evil Empire gak get's b0rked
[05:35] <gnomefreak> hot damn de.archive.ubuntu works :)
[05:35] <reiki> thoreauputic, I tried this app with the mozilla-flashplayer and then also with the plugin... still crashes
[05:35] <thoreauputic> reiki: something weird on the site ? Dunno
[05:36] <transgress> is us.archive having problems?
[05:36] <navarone> I just booted and have updates <iptables and xkeyboard file> however they fail authentication from repo...is it safe to install?
[05:36] <gnomefreak> transgress,  yes its down
[05:36] <thoreauputic> transgress: /topic
[05:36] <zenlunatic> How do you get dma to enable on every boot?
[05:36] <transgress> k
[05:36] <transgress> oh
[05:36] <arnducky> I usually tell Disk Manager not to touch my Ext3, ReiserFS and what have you.
[05:36] <vbgunz> anyone know how to restart a mouse>?
[05:36] <thoreauputic> zenlunatic: /etc/hdparm.conf IIRC
[05:36] <zenlunatic> thoreauputic: yeah i did that as wiki says but its not working
[05:37] <gnomefreak> thoreauputic,  ty for adding that to the topic i didnt see it before
[05:37] <psusi> now... why the hell does synaptic want to remove gnomemeeting, ubuntu-desktop, and others when I try to upgrade libpt-plugins-alsa?
[05:37] <thoreauputic> zenlunatic: you can use commands in /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh (but it's deprecated)
[05:37] <onispawn> while everyone is talking about grub, has anyone succesfully gotten it to display a splash image, by adding splashimage=(hdx,y)/filename to the menu.lst file?
[05:37] <vbgunz> anyone have any idea about how to restart the mouse?
[05:37] <reiki> thoreauputic, ok I just went to the flashchat web site and v4.1.2 appears to work fine. So could be just a weirdness on that one site
[05:37] <thoreauputic> gnomefreak: took me two goes to get it right *grin*
[05:38] <reiki> thoreauputic, thanks for the help... appreciated
[05:38] <gnomefreak> onispawn,  hell i cant even get redhat and ubuntu to duel boot using to hds
[05:38] <thoreauputic> reiki: right
[05:38] <gnomefreak> :)
[05:38] <thoreauputic> reiki: you're welcome
[05:38] <zenlunatic> thoreauputic: i ran that and it didn't do anything
[05:38] <cocox> hi friends, i have two kind of shells in ubuntu... the root one and the common terminal... i'm the admin of my pc, my quetion is i should work with the common terminal and just put my password with sudo for special scripts or just work with the root shell ????
[05:38] <onispawn> haha.
[05:38] <wyona> thanks !!
[05:38] <arnducky> And if I could just manage to repeat what the gatos and/or DRI users that have managed to get video capture working, I'd dump WinDOH!s completely.  All my other hardware and applications are supported of replaced by same/better functionality now.
[05:38] <teleyinex> someone knows how can i change the default apps that uses firefox to open for example pdf files?
[05:38] <chr1snv> How in the world do i mount ubuntu's initrd image?!?!?!, it will not work at all
[05:38] <thoreauputic> zenlunatic: then I'm running out of ideas - Works For Me (tm)
[05:38] <teleyinex> because gnome, always open them with evince, but firefox always with xpdf
[05:38] <teleyinex> how can i change that
[05:38] <arnducky> (except of course for customer support)
[05:39] <zenlunatic> thoreauputic: what is that script supposed to do?
[05:39] <psusi> chr1snv, why do you want to?  it isn't actually an initrd image... it's an initramfs, which is a cpio archive
[05:39] <Happuf> cocox: that depends.. Mostly you should use normal for security reasons.
[05:39] <thoreauputic> zenlunatic: it's a start up script for "miscellaneous" things you want to start on boot
[05:39] <arnducky> psusi, when you shrink the FS inside a part'n what actually happens?
[05:40] <chr1snv> psusi, well its beacuse i want to run ubuntu off an external drive.....
[05:40] <thoreauputic> zenlunatic: you can add stuff to it at the end, before the exit
[05:40] <Mayday> where do i put arguments to modules that autoload on boot (breezy) ?
[05:40] <zenlunatic> thoreauputic: i figured it out
[05:40] <zenlunatic> thoreauputic: had /dev/hdc instead of /dev/cdrom
[05:41] <psusi> arnducky, ntfsresize just moves any files that need moved so that the end of the partition is all free space... then patches the cluster bitmap and other filesystem metadata so that it does not think that space is part of the filesystem anymore
[05:41] <cocox> Happuf, but when i use the normal shell this ask me for my password just once for more less 15 minutes so.. whats the point ???
[05:41] <joft> hey I have a problem, since i updated to breezy my menus have been a little messed up; when I right click on an audio file and go to "open with" xmms is listed twice. also, the right-click-on-desktop menu no longer has the terminal launcher option in it. and my boot splash stopped working
[05:41] <thoreauputic> zenlunatic: ah well it has to point at the right device of course :)
[05:41] <thoreauputic> !openterm
[05:42] <ubotu> To add the right-click option for opening gnome-terminal on Breezy, install the  nautilus-open-terminal package
[05:42] <arnducky> I think my problem is that I was too paranoid due to my lack of skill to mess with CHS values.   I jsut deleted the partition and specified the new starting at the beginning of the new free space using a size in MB.  I was scared to screw up with CHS values and make the partition smaller than the shrunken FS.
[05:42] <strokey> Hi guys, i've been reading the tutorials on ndiswrapper, but its all confusing :( . Can anyone here PM me and sort of..help me? ubuntu isent installed either, im scared of it :_: . thanks
[05:43] <thoreauputic> strokey: I would install ubuntu first - we can't help much without a running system :)
[05:43] <selinium> strokey, why are you looking at ndiswrapper, if you haven't install unbuntu? :)
[05:43] <joft> thoreauputic: do I have to refresh the menus after that?
[05:43] <arnducky> psusi, it has to totally rewrite the $mft and backup $mfts to do that, doesn't it?
[05:43] <Happuf> cocox: i didnt get you... So you are using normal terminal and comparing it to root terminal?
[05:43] <ilba7r> anyone using cups-pdf
[05:43] <thoreauputic> joft: from memory it just appears - otherwise do "killall nautilus"
[05:43] <strokey> selinium: because last time i installed ubuntu, i lost my windows, and i cant get the internet on ubuntu with wirless, and someone pointed to me ndiswrapper
[05:43] <thoreauputic> joft: that will re spawn it
[05:43] <joft> cool thanks
[05:44] <arnducky> strokey, there are some really good ndiswrapper howtos posted to forum websites.  Are you using one of them?
[05:44] <cocox> Happuf, more less.. im just triying to realizae why use the normal shell if i must puta my sudo pass anyway
[05:44] <psusi> arnducky, ntfsresize tells you the size of the new filesystem in bytes iirc... divide by 512 and that's how many sectors long it is... add that to the starting sector of the partition and that's where it should end
[05:44] <joft> anything about menu options being listed twice, or bootsplash stopping working?
[05:44] <strokey> arnducky: i was using the wiki thing, im a complete noob to "compling" and linux
[05:44] <selinium> strokey, so you have only got wireless at the mo? Asking for install purposes...
[05:44] <ilba7r> has the problem with cups-pdf wanting to run as root been solved?
[05:44] <psusi> arnducky, it might have to move the backup mft... not sure... but I don't think it has to do anything to the main mft
[05:45] <thoreauputic> joft: the bootsplash you might fix with   sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-$(uname -r)
[05:45] <Happuf> cocox: you should not... Atleast i dont have to but it...
[05:45] <God> Alright I need some more help with OpenGL
[05:45] <joft> i tried that, it says "Searching for boot splash...none found"
[05:45] <strokey> selinium: yea, i cant really haev any other option, im broke, my router is 4 floors down and i cant afofrd anything else ;o
[05:45] <God> Because nobody was a big help at all last night
[05:45] <arnducky> psusi, well, the geometry of all my disks is reported differently than what it actually is to get past the ATA addressing problem at 1023 logical cylinder (or 'track') limit.
[05:45] <Red-Sox_away> is tux cart in the repositories
[05:45] <Happuf> cocox: can you do root stuff with normal terminal?
[05:45] <arnducky> Why can't all FS have Inodes -- heh
[05:46] <selinium> strokey, ok, i am not the person to help, i have never needed to install ndiswrapper. And as you need a internet connection to update the ISO package.... Have you only got the on PC?
[05:46] <thoreauputic> joft: yes it said that here too - but the bootsplash appeared on reboot (go figure) ;P
[05:46] <onispawn> find / -name grub.conf
[05:46] <cocox> Happuf, no i cant but i mean ... the normal terminal ask me for me root pass just once... after i must use sudo, isnt it ?
[05:47] <joft> oh
[05:47] <selinium> strokey,   s/on/one
[05:47] <strokey> eh?
[05:47] <simonvallore> How do i get the java runtimes for mozilla firefox it keeps saying you need to manually install them
[05:47] <onispawn> oops. sorry. wrong console
[05:47] <joft> is there any way to get nvidia drivers working without commenting out the dri and glx modules?
[05:47] <cocox> Happuf, so whats the point if with the root terminal i can do the same
[05:47] <thoreauputic> onispawn: you want /boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:47] <Happuf> cocox: It should not ask if you dont write sudo in it, but if you write it ask for every sudo command.
[05:48] <thoreauputic> onispawn: grub.conf is a Redhatism :)
[05:48] <psusi> arnducky, the disk itself does not actually have geometry at all in the chs sense... it's all a lie ;)
[05:48] <arnducky> so if your partition starts with Sector 0 (1st sect on the disk), you just take that info from the ntfsresize output?  (Sheesh -- I wish I had realized that before -- I was using the  raw number of blocks/cluster or the size in MB and trying to work backwards to virtual geometry)
[05:48] <navarone> simonvallore> go to system addministration/add applications and go to internet section/more programs...checka nd install the Blackdown Java package
[05:48] <onispawn> thoreauputic: yea I thought so, but I thought I would just check to see if it exists
[05:48] <thoreauputic> :)
[05:48] <psusi> arnducky, but yea... the fake CHS for my disk is 63 cylinders, 255 heads, 9001 cylinders
[05:48] <cocox> Happuf, that what im saying!!! the terminal just ask me when i write sudo for first time... after that i just put sudo and dont ask me for a pass
[05:49] <thoreauputic> !tell simonvallore about java
[05:49] <God> Is anyone going to help God?
[05:49] <onispawn> having xmission as a mirror for ubuntu is so nice.. I can download so fast :)
[05:49] <psusi> arnducky, it isn't going to start at 0... 0 is the MBR...
[05:49] <arnducky> psusi, I thought it did -- a cylinder goes through all the disks from top side of top platter down to the bottom side of the bottom platter; ec
[05:49] <thoreauputic> God: I suggest changing your nick - a lot of people will find it offensive
[05:49] <nalioth> cocox: you have a 15 minute window while sudo keeps your password
[05:49] <arnducky> That's what confuses the hell out of me and I have an A+ text right here which doesn't even explain it.
[05:49] <psusi> arnducky, no need to worry about all the geometry crap really... just use absolute sector numbers...
[05:49] <God> thoreauputic:  I haven't found one person who finds it offensive yet. Do you?
[05:50] <thoreauputic> God: that isn't the question
[05:50] <strokey> selinium: im not sure what you mean, i only have 1 pc and its on wireless, what do you mean by s/on/one ?
[05:50] <navarone> thoreau> I don't find it offensive...but I think God has some explaining to do w/ how he runs things down here...,s>
[05:50] <God> thoreauputic:  There is this little thing called the first amendment that allows me to speak as a free person and practice any religion I want.
[05:50] <selinium> strokey, sorry, geek speak,   s =substitute  on for one
