[07:46] <spazzz> So I just need to overwrite it with Grub like the ubuntu installation did before.
[07:46] <exiodus> tab is doing nothing
[07:46] <_jason> exiodus: paste exactly what you are writing
[07:46] <spazzz> Just.... without reinstalling Ubuntu... Easy right?  Please god tell me it's easy :-D
[07:46] <carthik> spazzz, then use grub-install (Read man grub-install)
[07:46] <DBO> spazzz, yes, looking up syntax for grub-install
[07:46] <exiodus> sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/FrostWire-4.10.9-1.i586.deb
[07:46] <_jason> exiodus: press enter
[07:47] <exiodus> cannot access archive: No such file or directory
[07:47] <DBO> spazzz, ok, first thing is first, we need to make a backup of /boot/grub
[07:47] <spazzz> Grub is located /dev/hdb1/grub
[07:47] <cdemwell> Hello, old Debian user here considering deploying Ubuntu on a Athlon64 x2 system
[07:47] <cdemwell> What's the state of the AMD64 port, and is it really that much faster?
[07:47] <_jason> exiodus: ls ~/Desktop/*Frost*, what does that say?
[07:47] <h4ch3r> ckserv identify rene
[07:48] <DBO> spazzz, yes but that mounts to /boot/grub no?
[07:48] <brn> help!  I have a humble old 300 MHz creton but I can't imagine why it takes so long for Gnome to load a program.
[07:48] <exiodus> /home/exiodus/Desktop/FrostWire-4.10.9-1.i586.deb
[07:48] <spazzz> its located in hdb1/grub but i belive Ubuntu mounts hdb1 in /boot
[07:48] <DBO> yes
[07:49] <spazzz> Then yes thats where it will end up
[07:49] <DBO> back a backup of the grub folder
[07:49] <DBO> make*
[07:49] <_jason> exiodus: sudo dpkg -i /home/exiodus/Desktop/FrostWire-4.10.9-1.i586.deb, I have no idea why the command before didn't work
[07:49] <devnull> hello

[07:50] <BoneE> !tell BoneE about build
[07:50] <_jason> exiodus: that last one didn't work either??
[07:50] <devnull> i guess a question is needed ... i ran the install ... it rebooted ... no x and i am still trying to figure out how to fix it and no fb and it seems like modules are missing ... wondering if it is a simple kernel rebuild and update or what ?
[07:51] <welkiner> Hello, is this the best channel to ask questions on Dapper Flight 6?

[07:52] <_jason> spazzz: what filesystem?
[07:52] <theobroma> spazzz: open root knopp term
[07:52] <ReWT_AxS> try the vesa driver yet?
[07:52] <devnull> nope
[07:52] <spazzz> fat32
[07:52] <ReWT_AxS> try that?
[07:52] <theobroma> type mount -rw /dev/foo /mnt/foo
[07:53] <theobroma> foo being the drive to mount
[07:53] <theobroma> (hda1)
[07:53] <devnull> ReWT_AxS better first question ... i forget how ubuntu does it, but how do i remove gdm from every run level ?
[07:53] <demandred> im trying to install nvidia graphics drivers and when i try to run the installer it sais:
[07:53] <welkiner> Can somone tell me how to change the theme in Dapper Flight 6 after hd install
[07:53] <brn> QUESTION:  Who here has the slowest CPU?  Mine is 300MHz.  Can this make Gnome as painfully slow as I think it is?
[07:54] <ReWT_AxS> devnull, sudo killall gdm
[07:54] <ReWT_AxS> ?
[07:54] <ReWT_AxS> i thinklol
[07:54] <spazzz> Ok GRUB is backed up
[07:54] <demandred> ERROR: Unable to find the system utility 'ld'; please make sure to have the package 'bunutils' installed.  If you do have binutils installed, then please check that 'ld' is in y our PATCH.
[07:54] <carthik> brn, yeah, that is sort of slow... try xfce
[07:54] <spazzz> DBO: now what?
[07:54] <devnull> ReWT_AxS so just going in and removing the entry from each rcX.d should be good ?
[07:54] <demandred> can anybody tell me how to fix this?
[07:54] <_jason> demandred: 'sudo aptitude install build-essential'
[07:54] <carthik> welkiner, system->prefs->theme etc
[07:55] <eternex> how do i what is the directory for the desktop
[07:55] <ReWT_AxS> dev, just reboot?
[07:55] <_jason> eternex: ~/Desktop
[07:55] <eternex> thanks
[07:55] <brn> carhik:  OK, but what is xfce?  I have explored the other GUIs available at startup but none help.
[07:56] <walden> _jason: what is the difference between sudo apt-get and sudo aptitude?
[07:56] <welkiner> carthik, been there-done that file not found...
[07:56] <_jason> walden: aptitude remembers any dependencies that get pulled in
[07:56] <devnull> ReWT_AxS well gdm comes up wich locks my display so i need to not have it load after boot
[07:56] <walden> _jason: ok.
[07:56] <carthik> welkiner, what is the exact error message?
[07:56] <_jason> ubotu: tell walden about apt
[07:56] <walden> _jason: i thought apt-get did the same though
[07:56] <eternex> how would i get to that directory in the terminal?
[07:56] <ltR20> does anyone know any good text editors that has highlighting for php,mysql,c etc for linux/ubuntu
[07:57] <ltR20> similar to notepad++ on windows
[07:57] <_jason> walden: if you install something like kubuntu-desktop with apt-get and then try to remove it, only the meta-package gets removed.  But if you use aptitude to install it and then remove it, it will remove the dependencies that are unneeded as well
[07:57] <_jason> ltR20: vim
[07:57] <devnull> ltR20 quanta is good, anjuta, vim
[07:57] <walden> _jason: ahh ok. makes sense now
[07:57] <devnull> jed if you are so bold
[07:57] <walden> ltR20: scite, vim-gtk
[07:57] <spazzz> Oh darnet the person who was helping me left
[07:58] <Breezy-CA> ltR20, bluefish, scite

[07:58] <mizery> I am installing Ubuntu 5.10 on one of my systems and during continued installation booting from hard drive (for the first time) kernel panic occured and I rebooted the computer, continued installing as per boot process suggested, but it led me to a login prompt.  How do I continue installing base system?
[07:58] <_jason> demandred: you can use ctrl-alt-f1, or do you really want to zap X?
[07:58] <ReWT_AxS> devnull just dont woryy about it snd switch to vesa
[07:58] <walden> ltR20: you open a console, and type "wget -c URL", or use a download manager. like d4x.
[07:58] <_jason> demandred: alt-f7 brings you back by the way
[07:59] <devnull> ReWT_AxS so just change driver to vesa and  done ?
[07:59] <AngryElf> hey all, if i start xine from the command prompt, no problems......but if i create a panel launger it crashes immediately, i'm having a hard time viewing errors -- if i include --verbose >> file in the panel launcher it doesn't output to the file
[07:59] <spazzz> can someone please help me restore grub to the MBR?
[07:59] <ubuntu> hi to all people
[07:59] <ReWT_AxS> thats hat i did
[07:59] <ubuntu> can i ask?
[07:59] <walden> ubuntu: hey thanks. watched your green ubuntu thing yesterday.
[07:59] <ReWT_AxS> if that dont work i have one more solution but try that first
[07:59] <ubuntu> ooo walden
[07:59] <ubuntu> how are you
[08:00] <rob_p> devnull:  sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove  <-- that will keep it from loading on boot as it will purge all the symlinks from the runlevels.  However, you could also remove it only from the runlevel of your choice and then boot to that one.
[08:00] <ubuntu> i'am downloading a codeweavers
[08:00] <ubuntu> a trial version
[08:00] <ubuntu> which works a lot for me
[08:00] <ubuntu> pretty
[08:00] <ubuntu> good
[08:00] <ubuntu> wer i can purchase that software
[08:01] <ubuntu> i hope i can buy that in our city
[08:01] <walden> ubuntu: from codeweaver's website, of course.
[08:01] <walden> ubuntu: via a credit card/electronic transfer.
[08:01] <welkiner> carthik, when I open it there is a list of themes, starting with clearlooks.  If I select Clearlooks and click install theme it comes up with a blank location and gives me the opertunity to browse, with no suggestion as to where I should browse.  So I did a file search for Clearlooks and found all of the themes in /use/share/themes, but I still can't figure out how to install them.
[08:01] <ubuntu> i hav no visa card
[08:01] <ubuntu> or any card
[08:01] <ubuntu> master card
[08:01] <eternex> please help, get this error,  eternex@ubuntu:~$ /home/eternex/Desktop/et-linux-2.60.x86.run
[08:01] <eternex> bash: /home/eternex/Desktop/et-linux-2.60.x86.run: Permission denied
[08:01] <eternex> eternex@ubuntu:~$
[08:01] <walden> they prolly dont sell it in shops in philippines
[08:01] <demandred> jason, ya i just tried running the installation file after ctrl+alt+f2 and it said i need to exit x completely....can you tel lme how to do that?
[08:01] <walden> ubuntu: can you use the Enter key a little less and type longer sentences? that would be good.
[08:02] <demandred> _jason, im used to using slackware so im still getting used to this
[08:02] <hyphenated> eternex: chmod +x thatfile
[08:02] <hyphenated> eternex: then try to run it again
[08:02] <eternex> how do i do that?
[08:02] <carthik> welkiner, the themes in the list are already installed. If you want to install a new theme, download it to some directory, then click install theme, and then choose the tar.gz file you downloaded.
[08:02] <demandred> can anybody tel lme how to completely exit out of x so i can install something that i have to be out of it for?
[08:02] <hyphenated> eternex: I just gave you the command
[08:02] <carthik> welkiner, just by clicking on clearlooks, you have enabled that theme. All you need to do is close the theme selection window
[08:02] <devnull__> hmmmm
[08:02] <devnull__> it didn't like that
[08:03] <devnull> locked up again
[08:03] <walden> demandred: press Ctrl+Alt+F1, that will take you out of X. login and use. To get back to X, press Ctrl+Alt+F7
[08:03] <rob_p> devnull:  What did you try?
[08:03] <Serial> hi alla
[08:03] <Serial> all
[08:03] <Serial> oi
[08:03] <devnull> changing the driver in xorg.conf to vesa
[08:04] <eternex> so i would type chmod +x /home/eternex/Desktop/et-linux-2.60.x86.run      into the terminal?
[08:04] <Serial> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:04] <ReWT_AxS> no
[08:04] <ReWT_AxS> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:04] <welkiner> carthik, OK, got it now , thanks
[08:05] <sfar> walden: x would still be running tho
[08:05] <carthik> welkiner, in most gnome settings guis, there wont be a "submit" or "Save" button :)
[08:05] <eternex> what would then be the command to run it?
[08:06] <sfar> eternex: ./filename
[08:06] <rob_p> devnull:  Simply purge the symlink to gdm from the runlevel to which you are booting if you want to boot to console mode.
[08:06] <walden> sfar: well, then in that case, first login in console, type sudo update-rc.d -f remove gdm/kdm/xdm as someone above said. and then.. kill X
[08:06] <welkiner> carthik, OK, thanks again.
[08:06] <UncleD> For some reason my ubuntu server when I ssh into it disconnects me when I go idle (for an undetermined amount of time). Any ideas?

[08:06] <AngryElf> don't panel launcher's get run by the normal user? and if so, why would a panel launcher not do the same thing as the command put into a terminal?
[08:06] <walden> ubuntu: can you use the Enter key a little less and type longer sentences? that would be good.
[08:07] <sfar> !tell ubuntu about enter

[08:08] <michael__> Hi, i'm new to Ubuntu, trying to compile a vanilla <IP_ADDRESS> kernel. Is it compulsory to make an initrd ? My kernel don't boot (ata driver and ext filesystems are compiled in). Could anybody help me ?
[08:08] <ubuntu> thats bad
[08:08] <bimberi> michael__: something here may help ...
[08:08] <bimberi> !kernelcompile
[08:08] <ubotu> You will probably find info about this at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCompileHowto
[08:09] <michael__> I can compile a Kernel. But it doesn't boot on Ubuntu. Does it have anything to do with mkinitramfs ?
[08:09] <Killgore> any reason why when i copy files onto my hard drive im not allowed to veiw them?
[08:09] <walden> if i am using the default ubuntu gnome gui, then what am i supposed to look for to download in gnome-look.org? the gtk 2.x themes, metacity, or what?
[08:10] <eternex> eternex@ubuntu:~$ chmod +x /home/eternex/desktop/et-linux-2.60.x86.run
[08:10] <eternex> chmod: cannot access `/home/eternex/desktop/et-linux-2.60.x86.run': No such file or directory
[08:10] <eternex> is that right?
[08:10] <eternex> if it is on the desktop?
[08:10] <h0nus> how do i install additional themes for ubuntu?
[08:10] <walden> eternex: use tab complete. the directory is prolly named Desktop
[08:10] <walden> eternex: chmod +x /home/eternex/Desktop/et-linux-2.60.x86.run
[08:11] <carthik> h0nus, go look at gnome-look.org download and install using system->preferences->theme
[08:11] <eternex> oh so the caped D on desktop
[08:11] <h0nus> carthik: thanks!
[08:11] <UncleD> Bind9 question; Anyone know of a good dns manager for bind9 that can manage my nameserver configs and zone files through a DNS management tool?
[08:11] <devnull> okay thank you very much for the advice of using vesa .. this is the first time X has ran on here ... what do i do for the future to get to use gl ?

[08:12] <walden> Killgore: okie. thanks
[08:12] <carthik> walden, oh, that. well, there are engines and there are themes for the engines. anything that is a theme, and not an engine will work. gtk 2 ould be better, i suppose
[08:12] <walden> eternex: then do  ./home/eternex/desktop/et-linux-2.60.x86.run
[08:12] <walden> carthik: ty chmod +x /home/eternex/desktop/et-linux-2.60.x86.run:)

[08:20] <ubuntu> ok
[08:20] <ubuntu> thank you
[08:20] <Madpilot> Killgore, umasks are the reverse of chmod, I think - so umask 777 is no perms at all
[08:21] <Killgore> Madpilot: oh ok then
[08:21] <ubuntu> wine is few bugy for some application
[08:21] <harisund> Hello, I earlier did a sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove. Now I want to reenable it. Can somebody tell me what are the default run levels that I should start it and end it in?
[08:21] <AngryElf> i've been trying to set up a xine app launcher, the command  /usr/bin/local/xine -A oss dvd:/   works fine from the terminal, but if i stick it in an app launcher it is as if i just did xine dvd:/  (which gives me no audio).......why would it do that?
[08:21] <Killgore> Madpilot: what would you reccomened then?
[08:21] <Madpilot> Killgore, but look that up before you take my word for it - I've done very little with mounting drives :P
[08:21] <ubuntu> crossover works fine for me but its commercial

[08:22] <ubuntu> a crossover
[08:22] <sfar> eternex: what graphics card do you have?
[08:22] <eternex> geforce 6600
[08:23] <sfar> !tell eternex about nvidia
[08:23] <sfar> see if you can find anything usefull on the links that ubotu gave you
[08:25] <Killgore> Madpilot: does it matter that the owner of the drive is root?
[08:25] <rick6971> hi everybody. im using ubunto5.10 live cd and clicked on "Set Disklabel" on GParted ... i thought that i was just going to change the label of the partition ... i have VERY IMPORTANT information in this hd!! plz someone HELP ... im a real newbe ... PLZ i was just trying this cd and it happened ... i know that im stupid but someone help me PLZ!
[08:26] <sfar> rick6971: did it disappear or what?
[08:26] <Madpilot> Killgore, have you read the drive mount page in the wiki?
[08:26] <Killgore> rick6971: have you rebooted the computer?
[08:26] <Killgore> Madpilot: no not yet but ive read 2 other things i guess it couldnt hurt
[08:26] <Killgore> !mount
[08:26] <ubotu> well, mount is the command to add partitions to your filesystem - for full instructions see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingANewHardDrive For mounting windows partitions, see !windowsdrives or http://tinyurl.com/bly9f
[08:26] <Killgore> that one?
[08:27] <Killgore> !fstab
[08:27] <ubotu> the /etc/fstab  file lists all drives and partitions but can be easily configured automatically with the diskmounter file found here http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/files/diskmounter  See <partitions>.
[08:28] <rick6971> all my partitions disapeared
[08:28] <rick6971> i have allready rebooted the computer

[08:32] <exiodus> Phlosten: LimeWire
[08:32] <ReWT_AxS> !tell devnull about ati
[08:32] <sfar> rick6971:  i'd install the hd in another computer and try some rescue programs
[08:32] <exiodus> bimberi: i looked thru that already...  ty tho
[08:32] <rick6971> ok
[08:32] <Phlosten> rick6971, you might want to try this http://www.e-fense.com/helix/
[08:32] <bimberi> exiodus: kk, sry :) - what's the issue?
[08:32] <jmg> hey guys is osmething horked with k3b in dapper?
[08:33] <bimberi> jmg: not that i've heard, try #ubuntu+1 for dapper though
[08:33] <exiodus> bimberi: i installed FW, got SunJRE, installed that, did the dos2unix command and it wont run...  keeps telling me that JRE not found
[08:34] <eternex> eternex@ubuntu:~$ sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
[08:34] <eternex> sudo: nvidia-glx-config: command not found
[08:34] <eternex> eternex@ubuntu:~$
[08:35] <eternex> why did it not work
[08:35] <bimberi> exiodus: did you install the SunJRE from here...
[08:35] <bimberi> !javadebs
[08:35] <bimberi> !+javadebs
[08:35] <ubotu> Java can be found in multiverse. Sun (i386) debs here: http://mirror2.ubuntulinux.nl IBM (PPC) debs here: http://giannaros.org/buntu/breezy.  UNOFFICIAL debs of more recent JRE's can be found in Seveas's repositories.  See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages

[08:36] <eternex> eternex@ubuntu:~$
[08:36] <exiodus> bimberi: tells me that i dont seem to have a valid JRE...  but i just installed the latest SunJRE
[08:36] <sfar> eternex: have you downloaded nvidia-glx ?
[08:37] <bimberi> exiodus: hm, maybe check the restricted formats page ...
[08:37] <bimberi> !java
[08:37] <ubotu> To install Java/Sun Java see Java on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats and also see !javadebs
[08:37] <eternex> pretty sure i have
[08:37] <exiodus> brb
[08:37] <sfar> try again "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-settings"
[08:38] <exiodus> ::headache::
[08:38] <sfar> and then try nvidia<press tab> (then you'll see all avaliable commands startnig with nvidia)
[08:38] <sfar> just like nick completion
[08:40] <Madpilot> exiodus, right below the "how to install Sun JRE" on the Ubuntu wiki is a little section on making sure your system is actually running the right version of java
[08:40] <Phlosten> exiodus, i'm going to have a look at this frostwire
[08:41] <eternex> when i type "nvidia" then push tab, it just makes a beep noise
[08:42] <walden> Does India have an ubuntu mirror?
[08:43] <apomb> hey, i was sondering if anyone knows how to take screenshots of screensavers
[08:43] <ReWT_AxS> why india?
[08:43] <ReWT_AxS> apomb, did you try setting the ss for a delay then hitting preview on ss?
[08:43] <apomb> yeah
[08:43] <ReWT_AxS> what happened?
[08:43] <E4rlGrey> hello all... i need some help with the installation of ubuntu
[08:43] <apomb> well, there is no delay setting
[08:44] <ReWT_AxS> yea ther is
[08:44] <walden> ReWT_AxS: cos i stay in india, and am assuming the local mirror will be faster.. but.. is there a way to find the fastest mirror then?
[08:44] <ReWT_AxS> in gimp
[08:44] <ReWT_AxS> walden, dunno?
[08:44] <walden> ReWT_AxS: ok.
[08:44] <gfn> how do you reconfigure X?
[08:44] <ReWT_AxS> sry

[08:45] <E4rlGrey> i just have one question about installing ubuntu... if someone who knows a good amount about it could pm me... i would much appreciate it
[08:45] <Killgore> E4rlGrey: just ask in here
[08:46] <Madpilot> E4rlGrey, you're best off asking an actual question here...
[08:46] <eternex> sfar: what was that command you told me to install the nvidia stuff?
[08:46] <yoko-lap> is the new distro out yet
[08:47] <E4rlGrey> ok... i have 2 drives... one has Windows on it... the other is just storage... can i put ubuntu on the first drive (overwriting windows)... without damagin any of the data on the second drive... and will i be able to access it in ubuntu?
[08:47] <walden> no
[08:47] <jbrouhard> Okay
[08:47] <jbrouhard> need a quick help
[08:47] <Killgore> E4rlGrey: yeah
[08:47] <jbrouhard> i have a Linksys NIC...
[08:47] <jbrouhard> ubuntu detected it fine for install
[08:47] <jbrouhard> At least, i think it did
[08:47] <jbrouhard> now I can't access the network...
[08:47] <jbrouhard> nothing in lsmod
[08:47] <E4rlGrey> ok... but does it have to be a FAT drive in order for it to work?
[08:47] <jbrouhard> so.. what can i do to get it working?  i know i coulddo modprobe but.. what module ?
[08:48] <eternex> sfar, what was that command you told me to install the nvidia stuff?
[08:49] <roboko1> i get some error when running ldconfig
[08:49] <roboko1> ldconfig: Can't link /usr/lib//usr/lib/libwxc-gtk2.4.2-0.8.so to libwxc-gtk2.4.2-0.8.so
[08:49] <jbrouhard> guys, i could really use some help
[08:50] <ReWT_AxS> with?
[08:50] <ReWT_AxS> !help
[08:50] <walden> do you remember the NIC model?
[08:50] <jmg> appears to be that the ubuntu kernel is using atapi instead of scsi emulation
[08:50] <walden> or the chipset on it? that will help.
[08:50] <Madpilot> E4rlGrey, Linux can't write to NTFS, but it can read it
[08:50] <jbrouhard> well
[08:50] <jbrouhard> it's a linksys NIC.. 10/100 card
[08:50] <apple132> Can anybody help me determine why my headphones get no sound in Linux?
[08:50] <BlueHeron> apple132: you tried alsamixer ?
[08:50] <ReWT_AxS> what r u trying to do?
[08:51] <jbrouhard> Hold on
[08:51] <apple132> BlueHeron: No...let me take a look.
[08:51] <jbrouhard> i had just installed ubuntu
[08:51] <conmiweb> hi
[08:51] <jbrouhard> and all of a sudden, my networking is gone
[08:51] <conmiweb> how can i do a make?
[08:51] <E4rlGrey> Madpiolet:  ok... but would it be better if i just made it a FAT drive with 'partition magic' before i install ubuntu?
[08:51] <jbrouhard> ttrying to activate the eth0
[08:51] <conmiweb> for install my Eye Toy WebCam?
[08:51] <walden> jbroome: you mean your network was working fine?
[08:51] <ReWT_AxS> you dual boot?
[08:51] <walden> err jbroome
[08:52] <jbrouhard> walden, i think so
[08:52] <ReWT_AxS> is the card integrated?
[08:52] <walden> jbrouhard: do a lsmod and see module it was using...
[08:52] <Madpilot> E4rlGrey, Linux can read & write to FAT32, so it would be  a better bet - just backup anything irreplaceable before you unleash Partition Magic
[08:52] <apple132> BlueHeron: is there a command to download it?
[08:52] <BlueHeron> apple132: in terminal just type alsamixer
[08:53] <jbrouhard> ReWT_AxS, well.. sort of.. i use removable irve bays
[08:53] <jbrouhard> drive bays even.. card is not integrated
[08:53] <conmiweb> Some body can help me how to do a make for install my Eye Toy WebCam Drivers?
[08:53] <aga^_^> hello
[08:53] <BlueHeron> conmiweb: whats the problem?
[08:53] <apple132> BlueHeron: Yes, I already played with all of these settings in the GUI sound options
[08:53] <E4rlGrey> Madpiolet, I understand the need for backing up data... but isn't it possible to change a ntfs drive to a FAT drive using partition magic without damaging the data on the drive?
[08:54] <conmiweb> i don't knou how to do a make
[08:54] <jbrouhard> okay
[08:54] <Madpilot> E4rlGrey, I've no idea, I've never played with Partition Magic at all
[08:54] <jbrouhard> i have a Linksys NC100 Card
[08:54] <jbrouhard> according to eth0 i'm running inet6.
[08:54] <jbrouhard> ipv6 apparently
[08:54] <Madpilot> conmiweb, do you have build-essential installed?
[08:55] <Killgore> E4rlGrey: i think you can
[08:55] <BlueHeron> apple132: are you sure the headphone isnt turned off or muted
[08:55] <Killgore> E4rlGrey: but i would backup first
[08:55] <conmiweb> no, because it doesn't founds the packet
[08:56] <E4rlGrey> heh... then i'd have to back up 100GB of video onto dvds because i don't have any more drives
[08:56] <Madpilot> !info build-essential
[08:56] <ubotu> build-essential: (informational list of build-essential packages), section devel, is optional. Version: 11.1 (breezy), Packaged size: 6 kB, Installed size: 48 kB
[08:56] <aga^_^> somebody can help me
[08:56] <Madpilot> conmiweb, b-e should be easy to install via Synaptic or apt-get
[08:56] <apple132> BlueHeron: yes...it works fine in xp, but not in linux, i have all sound options on and played with them all
[08:56] <conmiweb> ok
[08:56] <conmiweb> one moment
[08:57] <jbrouhard> I got lost in the convo i guess
[08:57] <E4rlGrey> thank you guys for your help
[08:57] <aga^_^> i cant install ubuntu
[08:57] <apomb> not with that atitude
[08:58] <Killgore> :)
[08:59] <apomb> aga^_^, what you need is a liveCD to get your confidence up
[08:59] <phrizer> aga^_^, why not?
[09:00] <apple132> BlueHeron: you think I need drivers or anything for my headset?
[09:00] <exiodus> bimberi: do i want the re or sdk version of SunJRE?
[09:00] <aga^_^> i cant boot from cd
[09:00] <aga^_^> not bootable
[09:01] <exiodus> aga: then get a new cdrom drive lol...  or change the boot order
[09:01] <Madpilot> aga^_^, that's a BIOS issue - you need to change your BIOS settings, probalby
[09:01] <BlueHeron> apple132: headsets dontr use drivers
[09:01] <bimberi> exiodus: just jre (unless you want to do java development)
[09:02] <apple132> BlueHeron: The back of my PC: Green, Pink, Black...Green for speakers, Black for Earphones, Pink for Mic attached, all 3 work in windows, the Mic and my Speakers work in Linux, and the mic is attached to the earphones
[09:02] <omi> Hello, I would like to have VNC started out from inetd, is there a way to limit how many instances can be opened at once? I would like to have limit of 2 for example (on the same port)
[09:02] <walden> apple132: the green goes for the headphones
[09:03] <exiodus> bimberi: it gives me 4 opts...  2 for sun-j2re and 2 for sun-j2sdk
[09:03] <BlueHeron> apple132: okay do you have AIM or MSN ?
[09:03] <apple132> walden: so I cant run my speakers and headphones at the same time?
[09:03] <Killgore> walden: not always. ive seen people with headphones plugged into the mic port
[09:03] <exiodus> bimberi: and one for java-package (says nothing about SunJRE)
[09:04] <grigora> When I try burning a cd with cdrecord, I get an error that says: [ERROR: unknow subsystem (scd0) in (/dev/sr0), No such file or directory. Cannot open SCSI driver]  Doing cdrecord -scanbus shows 2 entries, 0,0,0 and 1,0,0, neither works when I use it with cdrecord (cdrecord -dev=ATAPI:0,0,0|1,0,0), Can someone tell me what the problem is? thanks
[09:04] <conmiweb> i can't fount build-essential
[09:05] <Killgore> exiodus: what are the exact package names for them?
[09:05] <wd3> when im in gimp to make a background image for gnome, what settings do i save as?
[09:05] <jbrouhard> I'm about to kill my desktop.. why doesn't ubuntu like linksys nc100 cards ?!
[09:05] <walden> apple132: umm, i dont get it.. why would you need the speakers and headphones at the same time?
[09:05] <walden> Killgore: ok.
[09:06] <exiodus> Killgore: http://mirror.ubuntulinux.nl/dists/breezy-seveas/java/
[09:06] <jbrouhard> walden, I'm using Ubuntu 5.10.. any reason why i can't get my linksys nc100 card to work ?
[09:06] <jbrouhard> it's got tulip in lsmod, and i get a ipv6 addr, but nothing off DHCP ?
[09:06] <exiodus> !tell jbrouhard about wireless
[09:06] <jbrouhard> i've even tried static Ip and it acts like i'm cut off from the network
[09:06] <Killgore> exiodus: get the 1.5 version
[09:07] <jbrouhard> I'm not on wireless.
[09:07] <jbrouhard> linksys nc100 is a *WIRED* card
[09:07] <walden> jbrouhard: sorry, dunno enough to help you.
[09:07] <exiodus> killgore; of re or sdk
[09:07] <Killgore> re
[09:07] <Killgore> 	sun-j2re1.5_1.5.0+update06_i386.deb
[09:07] <liable> grigora: use -dev=/dev/hdc (or whatever your cdrom is)
[09:08] <exiodus> ok ty
[09:08] <Phlosten> jbrouhard, do you have sound?
[09:08] <exiodus> !tell jbrouhard about drivers
[09:08] <grigora> liable: hmmm, interesting ...
[09:09] <liable> grigora: yes, but does it work?
[09:09] <grigora> liable: I actually just tried burning the CD through K3B and it worked, though I had to start it as root (sudo), I wonder why that is ...
[09:09] <grigora> liable: it's burning now, I can't test sorry
[09:09] <exiodus> jbrouhard: maybe that will help?
[09:09] <jbrouhard> not even
[09:09] <bimberi> exiodus: sorry, was away, yeah go for 1.5
[09:09] <liable> grigora: dpkg-reconfigure cdrecord, set suid yes
[09:10] <BlueHeron> ff 1.5 works perfectly on ubuntu
[09:10] <Phlosten> grigora, k3b should prompt you to reconfigure permissions
[09:10] <BlueHeron> just like everything else :-)
[09:10] <jbrouhard> I'm trying the machine with a disabled ipv6 set up
[09:10] <demandred> hey how do i install binutils?  someone told me earlier but i forgot?
[09:10] <grigora> Phlosten: it doesn't
[09:10] <grigora> liable: i'll do that once it's done
[09:10] <BlueHeron> grigora: you sure?
[09:10] <Phlosten> grigora, mine did, wierd
[09:10] <Killgore> because he started it with sudo
[09:10] <Killgore> ????
[09:10] <BlueHeron> grigora: their is an option somewhere to setup permissions you need to do that before you do anything else
[09:11] <BlueHeron> or burns might file
[09:11] <grigora> BlueHeron: it may have asked me to do that on the first run and I may not have done it correctly in the beginning, very possible
[09:11] <BlueHeron> fail*
[09:11] <BlueHeron> grigora: you can re-run that
[09:11] <grigora> BlueHeron: for k3b or cdrecord?
[09:11] <jbrouhard> frak me
[09:12] <jbrouhard> exiodus, it was ipv6
[09:12] <jbrouhard> apparently i can't have both
[09:12] <BlueHeron> grigora: in k3b settings>k3b setup
[09:12] <jbrouhard> my network doesn't support ipv6
[09:12] <jldugger> ipv6 is useless anyways in most cases
[09:12] <grigora> BlueHeron: thanks a lot, I'll do that
[09:12] <BlueHeron> grigora: :-)
[09:13] <grigora> BlueHeron: cause starting it through sudo screws up some file and then I can't login (I have start a shell and change the ownership, etc) nightmare
[09:13] <conmiweb> how can I install a PPC?
[09:13] <grigora> BlueHeron: hopefully this will take care of it all
[09:13] <NoWhereMan[away] > hi guys
[09:13] <BoneE> !tell BoneE about build
[09:13] <BlueHeron> grigora: what is your main problem failign cd-burns ?
[09:13] <phaed> Hi.  Does anyone know how I can restore the original gray background for the Winter theme in E16?
[09:13] <NoWhereMan[away] > anybody here experienced installing savage dri drivers?
[09:14] <exiodus> bimberi: i have dpkg the 1.5 file...  what next? should i try to run frostwire again?
[09:14] <BlueHeron> phaed: you need to go to the support channel for that program, this is support for ubuntu+gnome
[09:15] <grigora> BlueHeron: with K3b starting as my user (vs root) I get a permission denied error, with running cdrecord as root, I get an unknown device error
[09:15] <BoneE> !tell BoneE about w32codecs
[09:15] <exiodus> bimberi and killgore:  SWEET...  even though it says i dont have a suitable JRE it loaded...  ty
[09:16] <tarzeau> i can't find the linux binary for realplayer, can someone help me?
[09:16] <exiodus> !realplayre
[09:16] <ubotu> exiodus: Bugger all, I dunno. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[09:16] <exiodus> !realplayer
[09:16] <ubotu> rumour has it, realplayer is http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[09:16] <bimberi> exiodus: great! :)
[09:16] <exiodus> !tell tarzeau about realplayer
[09:18] <grigora> BlueHeron: by the way, when I open K3B Setup, it asks me for a password then gives me an empty screen, do you know why this is?
[09:18] <exiodus> tarzeau: hope that helps
[09:18] <Phlosten> grigora, i'd be completely removing k3b and reinstalling it
[09:18] <tarzeau> exiodus: nothing happened but i was pointed to readl.com/linux and helixcrap
[09:19] <tarzeau> exiodus: i'd have prefered a debian package, but www.debian-unofficial.org doesn't have it still
[09:19] <tarzeau> once again doomed to do this shit myself. I HATE IT
[09:19] <exiodus> tarzeau: hm... try googleing it...
[09:19] <grigora> Phlosten: should I also reconfigure cdrecord with dpkg-reconfigure?
[09:19] <tarzeau> exiodus: google what? debian realplayer 10.0.7 ?
[09:20] <exiodus> tarzeau: im new at the whole linux thing so i cant be of much help...  sry
[09:20] <exiodus> yea
[09:20] <Phlosten> grigora, just uninstall then reinstall k3b, and see if it runs that setup again
[09:20] <jbrouhard> Oh
[09:20] <jbrouhard> how can i go about disabiling auto-mounting of the CDROM ?
[09:20] <exiodus> or realplayer.bin
[09:20] <jbrouhard> or is that a bad idea ?
[09:20] <Phlosten> grigora, i cant see any harm in doing so, and it might fix up your problem
[09:20] <tarzeau> exiodus: i got the realplayer.bin but that's crap, i need debian packages
[09:20] <Madpilot> Phlosten & grigora even easier - just delete your .k3b file to restore all it's settings to default
[09:20] <Phlosten> jbrouhard, under system- pref. -> removable drives and media
[09:21] <BlueHeron> grigora: sorry about that had to change a network cable
[09:21] <grigora> Phlosten: right, but should I also reconfigure cdrecord or will K3b do that for me?
[09:21] <exiodus> o
[09:21] <BlueHeron> grigora: did that fix you up?
[09:21] <Madpilot> tarzeau, see the wiki page exiodus linked you to
[09:21] <Phlosten> Madpilot, ah yes, that would do ;)
[09:21] <walden> tarzeau: cant you convert the rpm to a deb with alien?
[09:21] <jbrouhard> Phlosten, thanks.. I might have some problems getting ubuntu to work properly on my iBook (last time i tried, it kept crashing KDE cause of some fubar'd thing with DVD codecs)
[09:21] <grigora> BlueHeron: not really, it kept giving me a blank setup screen
[09:21] <Killgore> there is a realplayer in the repos
[09:21] <BlueHeron> grigora: weird .......
[09:21] <grigora> Madpilot: sorry, I already uninstalled it
[09:21] <tarzeau> Madpilot: i didn't get any url
[09:22] <hybernate> hello
[09:22] <espresso> what's the user/root passwords on the Warty live CD
[09:22] <tarzeau> walden: that gives not the best packages. but yes that's another possibility
[09:22] <Madpilot> tarzeau, http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats <-- that one
[09:22] <tarzeau> espresso: doesn't exist. sudo su
[09:22] <exiodus> walden: you can, but you wanna be careful with alien...  its "unstable"
[09:22] <Madpilot> espresso, there's no pw, just use sudo
[09:22] <espresso> tarzeau: no, you don't understand
[09:22] <Phlosten> jbrouhard, i wouldnt turn off auto mounting, but i'd disable the crap that runs software automatically
[09:22] <espresso> I hit something that took me to a screen that is asking for a password
[09:22] <jbrouhard> Phlosten, Hmm.. How do i tell the system to stop using totem then? :)
[09:22] <tarzeau> espresso: set a password then
[09:22] <Phlosten> jbrouhard, where i told you

[09:24] <grigora> Phlosten: Madpilot: I just uninstalled/reinstalled, didn't get asked for setup and I can't find the ~/.k3b file. Any ideas?
[09:24] <walden> tarzeau: ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/pool/main/r/realplay/realplayer_10.0.6-0.0_i386.deb
[09:24] <espresso> tarzeau: I booted the live cd... tried to open a terminal... hit the rong button and it logged me out

[09:24] <walden> tarzeau: maybe it will come soon :)

[09:24] <tarzeau> walden: i'm waiting for a week now
[09:24] <BlueHeron> grigora: it will be in ~/.kde/apps/k3b i believe
[09:24] <walden> i am just going to download and install it.. i installed ubuntu yesterday morning :)
[09:24] <exiodus> tarzeau: i found a zip debian realplayer file...  i dont know if it will work or what vers it is...
[09:24] <Madpilot> grigora, you've got "show hidden files" checked?
[09:25] <tarzeau> exiodus: url?
[09:25] <grigora> BlueHeron: thanks
[09:25] <BlueHeron> grigora: yep :-)
[09:25] <grigora> Madpilot: I am in command line
[09:25] <exiodus> frostwire....  lol thats why i asked
[09:25] <vista_> why i always got file readonly under gnome
[09:25] <exiodus> tarzeau: i can send it to you   ??
[09:25] <Madpilot> grigora, OK, never mind - I assume you know how to convince ls to show hidden files, then
[09:26] <grigora> Madpilot: yes I do, I used to be a sysadmin for a living :)
[09:26] <vista_> what can i do like sudo in terminal
[09:26] <tarzeau> exiodus: no , i'm doing my own package now
[09:26] <exiodus> lol
[09:26] <exiodus> ok
[09:26] <tarzeau> exiodus: but thanks for your help
[09:26] <hybernate> thx im burning Ubuntu now so il try it out in a few min
[09:26] <exiodus> no
[09:26] <exiodus> np
[09:26] <walden> tarzeau: where will it be available for download?
[09:26] <BlueHeron> hybernate: do you have an ATI or NVIDIA card
[09:26] <tarzeau> walden: io.debian.net/~tar/debian/
[09:26] <walden> tarzeau: ty. i will check in some time.
[09:26] <tarzeau> walden: ./realshit or something
[09:27] <walden> wow. you're really in an angry mood :|
[09:27] <vista_> any help?
[09:27] <BlueHeron> walden: why do you need realplayer, instead of a great open source linux music player
[09:27] <tarzeau> walden: yes.
[09:28] <BlueHeron> vista_: whats wrong?
[09:28] <tarzeau> walden: because there's only very less people that use it, and only for those i make this package
[09:28] <vista_> how can i sudo under gnome?
[09:28] <tarzeau> BlueHeron: he doesn't, neither do i
[09:28] <vista_> i mean...
[09:28] <walden> BlueHeron: to watch videos from bbc.co.uk ?
[09:28] <devnull> dam my touchpad is freaking out
[09:28] <BlueHeron> walden: i'm sure you can use something else
[09:28] <BlueHeron> walden: what format are they
[09:28] <Fujitsu> rv?
[09:28] <vista_> access readonly file under gnome
[09:28] <walden> BlueHeron: i dunno. have always used realplayer on windows.. that's what they say on bbc's website.
[09:29] <grigora> Madpilot: BlueHeron: Phlosten: I waxed the config file, restarted K3b and only got asked about the speed of the writing device, do you guys know which setting in the config file I need to tweak to get it to work as a non-root user?
[09:29] <BlueHeron> walden: try using totem-xine
[09:29] <walden> BlueHeron: i'll be happy if there is an alternative.
[09:29] <walden> BlueHeron: ok. will do.
[09:29] <BlueHeron> grigora: one sec
[09:29] <vista_> any help?
[09:29] <vista_> suggestion?
[09:30] <Madpilot> grigora, not sure - k3b has always 'just worked' for me, as user without any tweaking
[09:30] <vista_> :(
[09:30] <vista_> why nobody talk to me
[09:30] <grigora> Madpilot: well, I just reconfigured cdrecord to be installed with setuid set
[09:30] <grigora> hopefully that will take care of everything
[09:30] <Phlosten> grigora, what about cdrao?
[09:31] <BlueHeron> grigora: do this, sudo apt-get --purge k3b then re-download it and if it doesn't have you run the setup do it manually
[09:31] <Madpilot> vista_, I'm not sure what you're asking about...
[09:31] <walden> vista_: what do you mean access "read only file"?
[09:31] <vista_> means the file only can be accessed by root
[09:31] <exiodus> /leave #ubuntu gotta get SOME sleep...  its only been 4 days...
[09:31] <jeeves_Moss> All:, any one in here any good with PHPMyAdmin?
[09:31] <walden> vista_: then do sudo <whateveryouwant> filename
[09:31] <vista_> you can sudo under terminal, and vi filename
[09:31] <vista_> yes
[09:31] <vista_> true
[09:31] <vista_> but
[09:31] <vista_> how i can access it with graphic editor?
[09:32] <Phlosten> grigora, sorry cdrdao
[09:32] <Madpilot> !enter
[09:32] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and is annoying.
[09:32] <hybernate> well time to install ubuntu hopefully il be back here shortly :)
[09:32] <walden> vista_: man chown
[09:32] <vista_> ok
[09:32] <vista_> lemese
[09:32] <vista_> faint
[09:32] <dj-fu> jeeves_Moss, I've installed and used it before, sup?
[09:32] <grigora> BlueHeron: I just reconfigured cdrecord to have setuid, and got the following message when I started up k3b: "cdrecord will be run with root privileges on kernel >= 2.6.8
[09:32] <grigora> Since Linux kernel 2.6.8 cdrecord will not work when run suid root for security reasons anymore.
[09:32] <grigora> Solution: Use K3bSetup to solve this problem."
[09:33] <vista_> i mean get a root under gnome
[09:33] <vista_> how can i
[09:33] <vista_> not under terminal
[09:33] <BlueHeron> grigora: that's okay use k3b setup
[09:33] <jeeves_Moss> dj-fu:  I installed it using apt-get insted of just d-loading it.  now I can't uninstall it.
[09:33] <Madpilot> vista_, you don't, usually
[09:33] <grigora> BlueHeron: that was supposed to be one message ...
[09:33] <dj-fu> jeeves_Moss, you can't apt-get remove it?
[09:33] <vista_> usually....
[09:33] <Madpilot> vista_, and please stop using the ENTER key so much - thanks
[09:33] <vista_> ok
[09:33] <Madpilot> vista_, what exactly are you trying to do?
[09:33] <jeeves_Moss> dj-fu:  yep, I've tried it, but it gives an error code.
[09:33] <grigora> BlueHeron: I wish I could, when I run k3bsetup it brings up a blank screen
[09:33] <hybernate> BlueHeron, dose it matter that i have a ati card if i wanna use ubuntu?
[09:33] <vista_> get root under gnome
[09:34] <dj-fu> jeeves_Moss, paste me the error code (not in here) or put it on pastebin.com - I may be able to help you
[09:34] <BlueHeron> hybernate: ubuntu works with ati perfectly, but yes it does matter
[09:34] <vista_> we can get root under terminal by sudo bash
[09:34] <vista_> but how can we do that under gnome
[09:34] <jeeves_Moss> dj-fu:  how about in #flood?
[09:34] <walden> vista_: just read the manpage chown vista filename
[09:34] <walden> vista_: and then open it in your GUI editor. or whatever.
[09:34] <dj-fu> jeeves_Moss, sure, go ahead.
[09:34] <vista_> i know what you said
[09:34] <hybernate> BlueHeron, ok i will just try then and see if i make it back thx
[09:34] <lcore> vista_: gksu
[09:34] <vista_> but how can i get root...
[09:34] <Madpilot> vista_, you can launch Nautilus with gksudo, but that's not recomended
[09:35] <Madpilot> vista_, have you read this: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo
[09:35] <vista_> ok
[09:35] <grigora> BlueHeron: I even tried running K3bsetup from command line (sudo), still blank
[09:35] <vista_> no
[09:35] <Madpilot> vista_, please do - Ubuntu only uses sudo, not a root user
[09:35] <BlueHeron> grigora: i dunno man..
[09:36] <vista_> ok i know
[09:36] <Killgore> can i get into windows shares via the command line with samba?
[09:36] <vista_> but sodu bash, can get into root account
[09:37] <grigora> BlueHeron: well, thanks anyways, I guess I am going to have to go back to running K3b as root, then fixing the ownership on my .ICEauthority file so I can log in next time
[09:37] <nemik> hello, after upgrading just now, ubuntu cannot find my eth0 wireless card anymore...this is scaring me.
[09:37] <BlueHeron> grigora: yea, that file can be trouble if you run kde programs a sroot
[09:37] <nemik> i tried botting with recovery too but nothing
[09:37] <Madpilot> vista_, try "sudo -i" instead - or just use sudo in front of your commands, the regular way
[09:38] <vista_> ok
[09:39] <walden> When a new release of ubuntu comes out, do you need to reinstall, or just upgrading will work fine?
[09:39] <walden> i dont want to do all the little tweaking things all over again. or atleast would like it to a minimum.
[09:39] <lucasvo> hi
[09:39] <walden> hi
[09:39] <Phlosten> walden, you can upgrade ok, but there can be some issues with pre-update installed files
[09:39] <lucasvo> how can I enable a proxyserver in apt?
[09:40] <walden> apt-setup ?
[09:40] <Madpilot> walden, dist-upgrade usually works fine
[09:40] <robokop> apt-get dist-upgrade
[09:40] <nemik> the newest kernel upgrade just killed me wireless card...:(
[09:40] <walden> Madpilot: ok. so from dapper 6.06 to 6.10, it should be dist-upgrade?
[09:40] <Steil> nemik: what card?
[09:40] <walden> but i'll ask around when the time comes :)
[09:40] <Phlosten> walden, i did an upgrade from breezy to dapper and found I had to reinstall a few programs to get them working, but as far as settings go you should be ok
[09:40] <lucasvo> walden: command not found
[09:40] <nemik> ipw2200
[09:41] <BlueHeron> Madpilot: you need to change your sources.list first before doing a dist-upgrade right ?
[09:41] <nemik> Steil: ipw2200
[09:41] <Madpilot> walden, yes
[09:41] <walden> ok. thanks :) soundsgood.
[09:41] <Madpilot> BlueHeron, yes, although there might be a graphical helper for upgrading to dapper (not sure, though)
[09:41] <nemik> Steil, the intel centrino one built into my laptop
[09:41] <Steil> nemik: no clue, sorry
[09:41] <Phlosten> dont forget dapper will have 3 years of support instead of 1 1/2
[09:41] <exiodus> hey...  how do i go about getting the right decoders for Totem? cant watch vids i have downloaded,,,
[09:41] <coz> I have runinto problem cannot mount ANY drive including cdrom get error must install suid root

[09:41] <walden> lucasvo: sorry, apt-config
[09:42] <vista_> hi, how can i install java 1.3?

[09:42] <Phlosten> exiodus, install the gstreamer plugins
[09:42] <exiodus> where do i get those?
[09:42] <Phlosten> !divx
[09:42] <ubotu> I heard restricted is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats  Most of the formats listed here can be replaced by !FreeFormats
[09:42] <vista_> hi, how can i install java 1.4 or later?
[09:42] <Madpilot> exiodus, read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[09:43] <Madpilot> !tell vista_ about java
[09:43] <vista_> ?
[09:43] <vista_> why !
[09:43] <Madpilot> vista_, the bot should have sent you a message...
[09:43] <Phlosten> exiodus, in the repositories, look for 'gstreamer', there are two meta-packages that install all the rest, or you can install specific ones
[09:43] <vista_> ...
[09:43] <BlueHeron> Madpilot: i wish it was safe for dapper :\
[09:43] <vista_> bot
[09:44] <vista_> how can you do that
[09:44] <vista_> which cmd?
[09:44] <Madpilot> vista_, you should have gotten a pm from ubotu...
[09:44] <walden> vista_: are you the same person who was called ubuntu earlier?
[09:44] <Madpilot> !tell vista_ about ubotu
[09:44] <vista_> see
[09:45] <vista_> !factoid Madilot ubotu

[09:48] <walden> !fonts
[09:48] <ubotu> from memory, fonts is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FontInstallHowto
[09:48] <walden> try that, bingogu
[09:48] <vista_> root@ubuntuDVD:~/Desktop/ray-tracing/sdl# sudo apt-get install j2re1.4
[09:48] <vista_> Reading package lists... Done
[09:48] <vista_> Building dependency tree... Done
[09:48] <vista_> Package j2re1.4 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[09:48] <vista_> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[09:48] <vista_> is only available from another source
[09:48] <vista_> E: Package j2re1.4 has no installation candidate
[09:48] <vista_> root@ubuntuDVD:~/Desktop/ray-tracing/sdl#
[09:48] <vista_> why not
[09:49] <Phlosten> ick
[09:49] <Phlosten> vista_, dont paste in the channel please
[09:49] <BlueHeron> !pastebin
[09:49] <ubotu> methinks pastebin is a site where you can paste long texts so you don't disrupt the conversations in here. Install webboard for pasting via the gnome panel.
[09:49] <vista_> oh
[09:49] <vista_> !pastebin
[09:50] <vista_> ok
[09:50] <unhappy> hey, i need simple sound recorder. What U suggest?
[09:50] <vista_> but why that
[09:50] <Phlosten> Elektrochelovek, audacity?
[09:50] <Elektrochelovek> Phlosten, thnx. I'll try!
[09:50] <Madpilot> vista_, using the pastebin keeps you from flooding the channel like you just did
[09:51] <vista_> i know
[09:51] <BlueHeron> ubotu: no pastebin is a site where you can paste long texts so you don't disrupt the conversations in here. Install webboard for pasting via the gnome panel http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1269
[09:51] <ubotu> okay, BlueHeron
[09:51] <vista_> but why....
[09:51] <BlueHeron> !pastebin
[09:51] <ubotu> somebody said pastebin was a site where you can paste long texts so you don't disrupt the conversations in here. Install webboard for pasting via the gnome panel http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1269
[09:51] <vista_> faint
[09:51] <BlueHeron> their we go
[09:51] <vista_> why i cannot isntall j2re
[09:51] <walden> but why what? did you read the link that ubotu told you about intalling java?
[09:51] <Madpilot> vista_, and Sun Java isn't available thru apt-get - see the webpage I already told you about please
[09:51] <Xnos> hi someone knows how to install kernel-modules?
[09:51] <Madpilot> BlueHeron, leave the URL there for folks not running gnome
[09:51] <walden> download the jre and install it manually.
[09:52] <vista_> i see it
[09:52] <BlueHeron> Madpilot: hmm..?
[09:52] <vista_> it says 'sudo apt-get install j2re1.4' can do everything for me.
[09:52] <walden> vista_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[09:53] <exiodus> 5.10=Breezy Badger?
[09:53] <Madpilot> vista_, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats <-- Java is more complex than just an apt-get
[09:53] <walden> yes.
[09:53] <Madpilot> exiodus, yes
[09:53] <exiodus> ty
[09:53] <vista_> more?
[09:53] <BlueHeron> Madpilot: their was no URL i added the URL for webboard so people can find it.
[09:53] <Madpilot> BlueHeron, it's OK, I'll fix it
[09:53] <vista_> it says that cmdline should work
[09:53] <BlueHeron> Madpilot: i don't see what is wrong with it
[09:54] <grigora> BlueHeron: Madpilot: Phlosten: thanks for your help and good night
[09:54] <BlueHeron> grigora: yep
[09:55] <Madpilot> !pastebin

[10:15] <Bambino> or let me rephrase, is it even possible :)
[10:17] <hybernate> BlueHeron, dosent ubuntu come with codecs and such for mp3 playing?
[10:17] <fek> moin
[10:17] <LInc01n> Bambino: I wanna ask is it difficult to install? i want to buy a new display card to play xgl.......the nvidia driver is extremely easy to install in amd 64
[10:17] <Arafangion> hybernate: Not mp3's, see restricted formats.
[10:17] <BlueHeron> hybernate: no, sudo apt-get install w32codecs
[10:18] <Overand> Building a server to run ubuntu at a colo- Should I install breezy or should I wait for Dapper?
[10:18] <tony_> hi i need some help with Skype in Ubuntu. Most of the time it says call failed. Sometimes I can connect, but then the other party can hear me, I cannot hear them. Thanks in advance.
[10:18] <Bambino> LInc01n, I have no idea. That's my question as well :) I haven't found out how to yet with my ati. :(
[10:18] <bliss1_> hi
[10:19] <dj-fu> Skype in ubuntu? I thought we use Ekiga
[10:19] <hybernate> BlueHeron, it says couldnot find package w32codecs
[10:19] <tony_george_ktym> dj-fu, what is Ekiga? can i use it to connect to skype and use my account?
[10:19] <Overand> dj-fu: does ekiga interoperate with Skype?
[10:19] <BlueHeron> hybernate: you need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list see here....
[10:19] <BlueHeron> !easysource
[10:19] <ubotu> For an easy to use custom sources.list creator, visit http://ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
[10:19] <LInc01n> Bambino: i think you can go to ati website.....i see driver for 64bit
[10:19] <BlueHeron> hybernate: make sure you get universe/multiverse
[10:20] <dj-fu> tony_george_ktym, possibly.. I'm not sure
[10:20] <dj-fu> Ekiga is voip, and works with h.232
[10:20] <dj-fu> I dunno if it works with skype accounts though
[10:20] <Overand> skype is p2p, oddly
[10:20] <demandred> does anybody know how to get an older sound card working?  like a sound blaster live?
[10:20] <Overand> it won't interoperate
[10:20] <Overand> it uses encrypted links
[10:20] <Overand> the networking topology is more 'kazaa' than 'netmeeting'
[10:21] <tony_george_ktym> dj-fu and Overand thanks for your help. So nobody here uses Skype on Ubuntu?
[10:21] <Bambino> LInc01n, Oh? I gotta check that?

[10:23] <BlueHeron> hybernate: or you can use nano
[10:23] <BlueHeron> hybernate: gedit is easy since it's a gui editor.

[10:27] <Bambino> LInc01n, " 32-Bit packages must be installed for 64-Bit Linux drivers to install or work." When running a 64bit and tyring to install 32bit wont work.

[10:30] <dr3as> x1
[10:31] <BlueHeron> hybernate: you use AIM ?
[10:31] <BlueHeron> hybernate: or MSN
[10:31] <Bambino> LInc01n, when reading through the site you sent me the link to, it says i need to first 32bit driver first installed, then install 64bit driver. (So i cant just install 64bit).. and whenever i tried to install 32 bit version of something, it does not work. It says "blabla 32bit on 64bit system" :)
[10:31] <BlueHeron> i'm<EMAIL_ADDRESS>on msn
[10:31] <hybernate> BlueHeron, msn
[10:31] <LInc01n> dr3as: i see......
[10:31] <dr3as> a intergrated intelgfx card doesn't give much power
[10:32] <Phlosten> spam!
[10:32] <dr3as> but as a workingcomputer it's lovly, no fans, 1280mb ram and weighs around 1kg
[10:32] <BlueHeron> hybernate: got ya
[10:33] <LInc01n> Bambino: but what i see is you need to install 64bit only site:https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_8.23.7-inst.html
[10:33] <LInc01n> Bambino: for series >8500
[10:35] <graveson> can someone help me with some scripting. I am looking to rename a whole host of files and remove the spaces in this .what will be the most efficient way to do this
[10:35] <LInc01n> dr3as: but my glxgears seem just use cpu to generate graphic..don't know why...now my 2.2ghz just get 3000fps.......but before my debain system can achieve 15000sth maybe my driver have some problem
[10:35] <Bambino> LInc01n, I got x700 mobility
[10:36] <dinamizador> bea
[10:36] <LInc01n> Bambino: then u should go to this page :https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_8.23.7-inst.html
[10:36] <LInc01n> Bambino: it said "Enter the command sh ./ati-driver-installer-8.23.7-i386.run to launch the 32bit version of the ATI Proprietary Linux driver installer or sh ./ati-driver-installer-8.23.7-x86_64.run to launch the 64 bit version of the ATI Proprietary Linux driver installer. The ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Setup dialog box is displayed."
[10:37] <LInc01n> Bambino: mind the word "or"
[10:37] <tristan__> Anyone ever tried to convert a .avi to an animated gif with ffmpeg?
[10:37] <bliss1_> hi again
[10:38] <bliss1_> open question to the room how to stop process running as I am about to install a OS under qemu and this uses a lot of cpu power
[10:40] <bliss1_> miketech: hi
[10:40] <Bambino> LInc01n, from the site you sent me: Note: 	The following 32 bit packages must be installed in order for 64 bit drivers to install and work properly:
[10:40] <carthik> bliss1_, ctrl+z will suspend it temporarily
[10:40] <miketech> hi
[10:41] <carthik> bliss1_, find the pid by ps aux | grep <your-best-guess> and then kill -9 the pid you get
[10:41] <carthik> bliss1_, the above will kill the process
[10:42] <nux> hi!
[10:42] <bliss1_> carthik ok so just go down to list inps aux and kill eavh process
[10:42] <liable> god no, you dont just kill random kernel proccesses..
[10:42] <carthik> bliss1_, sorry that didn't make sense to me
[10:42] <nux> c'est francais ici non
[10:43] <bliss1_> liable: yes not think
[10:43] <carthik> bliss1_, try this : use top to see which processes are consuming most memory/cpu and kill only those, if you don't need them
[10:43] <LInc01n> Bambino: i think this is a depandency problem.....let me find a howto
[10:43] <bliss1_> carthik: its knowing which process to stop
[10:43] <alumno14> hola
[10:43] <carthik> if you are the user who is running the process, then you can kill it, bliss_
[10:43] <alumno14> hello carting
[10:44] <alumno14> the olid noooooooooooooo
[10:44] <alumno14> noooooooo
[10:44] <nux> any1 know a server in french for ubuntu?

[10:45] <alumno14> carthink = cabron
[10:45] <tristan__> Anyone ever tried to convert a .avi to an animated gif with ffmpeg?
[10:45] <bliss1_> carrthik qemu is installed as is kqemu and bridge
[10:45] <IamEthos> is there a way to play files with Windows DRM on Linux?
[10:45] <kingspawn> tristan__: i convert all my porn that way
[10:45] <alumno14> very little pronunciations
[10:45] <alumno14> in inglis
[10:45] <tristan__> kingspawn?

[10:46] <bliss1_> carthik: so do the install from command line under prompt no X
[10:46] <alumno14> ingles no espaol si
[10:46] <tristan__> kingspawn, I created a gif but it is 155Mo....
[10:46] <carthik> bliss1_, if you can manage installing qemu(i have never done that) from the command prompt then yes
[10:46] <alumno14> your diego tristan
[10:46] <alberto> kaixo
[10:46] <kingspawn> tristan__: haha, how big was the avi?
[10:46] <tristan__> 500k....
[10:47] <alumno14> no entiendo
[10:47] <IamEthos> !wmv
[10:47] <ubotu> restricted is, like, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats  Most of the formats listed here can be replaced by !FreeFormats
[10:47] <bliss1_> carthik its installed already I have to install guest and need to stop some process yes the ons under biiss1
[10:47] <kingspawn> tristan__: haha, no idea why
[10:48] <kingspawn> tristan__: why would you want an animated gif? they are evil
[10:48] <jeeves_Moss> all:  any one here any good with Apache?
[10:48] <tristan__> I want to make it for educational purpose... I want to have an animation of a vid of a meteorite
[10:48] <alumno14> /<IP_ADDRESS>
[10:49] <jbaloul> jeeves_Moss whats the problem?
[10:50] <LInc01n> Bambino: this is a good guide:http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Installation_Guide
[10:50] <LInc01n> Bambino: just use the apt system
[10:50] <bliss1_> carthik; whats top
[10:50] <jeeves_Moss> jbaloul:  I installed it before, and it screwed up.  So I'm asking people who know whats going on.  So I'm doing a fresh install, so some step by step help would be great
[10:50] <carthik> bliss1_, it shows you a Table Of Processes
[10:50] <carthik> $top
[10:51] <jbaloul> apt-get install apache
[10:51] <IamEthos> is there anyway to play WMVs with DRM on Linux?
[10:51] <bliss1_> carthik nice says 2uers which is strange
[10:51] <jbaloul> and if you screwed it up you could always try dpkg-reconfigure apache
[10:52] <jeeves_Moss> jbaloul:  if I do a apt-get install apache php4 should that install and configure PHP support as wel?
[10:52] <carthik> what is 2uers? bliss1_
[10:52] <kingspawn> IamEthos: there is probably some kind of hack available
[10:53] <jbaloul> no i think you should get an additional for that...use the -s option and see what it reccomends...or apt-cache search php |grep apache
[10:53] <bliss1_> carthik just after the clock in top it says 2 users
[10:53] <DocTomoe> I upgraded to dapper and now have problems with my sound settings - actually, I seem to have some sound working, nontheless it is a) much to low, and b) mp3 playback seems to play random frequencies. any suggestions what to do?
[10:53] <Madpilot> bliss1_, both users are you - try "w" instead of "top" for more detail
[10:53] <jeeves_Moss> jbaloul:  do you know of a good player for FireFox that'll play a wondows media stream from the internet within firefox?
[10:54] <bliss1_> carthik: yep me and root
[10:54] <carthik> bliss1_, that's you, two logins, perhaps
[10:54] <Madpilot> bliss1_ & carthik, nope - one login is you-in-X, 2nd is you-in-terminal
[10:54] <pataswing> hi
[10:55] <carthik> Madpilot, that's what I meant to say
[10:55] <sfar|wr0k> hi pataswing
[10:55] <bliss1_> Hadpilot both bliss1
[10:55] <carthik> jeeves_Moss, mplayer with mozilla-mplayer works for me, with all the codecs installed
[10:55] <Quinch> Quick question, if I may; where do I look to see how my sound is configured?
[10:55] <jeeves_Moss> carthik:  ok, simplest way to install it?
[10:56] <jbaloul> jeeves_Moss you can look into w32codecs first off to get support for the different codecs then what i personally do is view page source looking for the mms:// url and then i play it in kaffeine or sometimes xmms
[10:56] <Luisma> ola
[10:56] <pataswing> I'm getting troubles mounting an ext2 partition on Ubuntu 5.1 , can anyone help ?
[10:56] <jbaloul> depends whether it is audio or video
[10:56] <carthik> jeeves_Moss, you have to enable the plf repository and then install mplayer-686 mozilla-mplayer w32codecs and their dependencies
[10:56] <sfar|wr0k> !tell pataswing about mount
[10:56] <bliss1_> Madpilot yes both users are bliss1 I am useing almost 50% of memory RAM
[10:57] <jeeves_Moss> carhik:  ok, sorry to sound like a n00b, but I am.  can you give me a step by step if you've got a min?  I'm just finishing the update so I'll be a second.
[10:57] <Madpilot> bliss1_, that's not unusual - Linux will use whatever RAM it can find, and swap it between apps that need it
[10:59] <jeeves_Moss> jbalou:  All I want to do is be able to play the audio stream from our local radio station.
[11:00] <healot> you can use the minimal "xmms", it work just like your Winamp
[11:00] <jbaloul> jeeves_Moss do you have a link ?
[11:00] <carthik> jeeves_Moss, I am trying to find a page that explains that to you in a simple enough fashion
[11:00] <vladuz976> how can i use "ls" to view the size of directories?
[11:00] <pataswing> ls -l
[11:00] <puks> hi, i get "Too many open files" on my Dapper Drake, how to I increase it?
[11:00] <Rociora> dario_espiel
[11:00] <jeeves_Moss> jbaloul:  www.z1035.com
[11:00] <jeeves_Moss> jbaloul: www.cjoy.com
[11:01] <bliss1_> Madpilot: so many process
[11:01] <vladuz976> ls -l doesn't show the directories only files
[11:01] <placidito> ola
[11:02] <jeeves_Moss> jbaloul:  any ideas?
[11:02] <healot> I wish ubuntu has the kernel tweaker like Redhat/Mandriva and their derivatives...
[11:02] <jeeves_Moss> carthik: any ideas?
[11:02] <jbaloul> yeh hold on a sec
[11:03] <jeeves_Moss> jbaloul:  ok, sorry, didden't mean to be pushy.  I just didden't know if you looked @ those URLs to see what the stream is.
[11:03] <healot> vladuz976, "ls -l <directory>", it will show total on top of the list...
[11:04] <vladuz976> healot: i just did and a directory full with at least a gigabyte of music shows as 8K
[11:04] <Blippe> vladuz976, creatve use of "du" might give satisfactory results
[11:05] <jeeves_Moss> carthik:  any ideas?
[11:05] <carthik> jeeves_Moss, well i am doing the searching for you,
[11:05] <jbaloul> jeeves_Moss np...what you can do is download the firefox plugin to play windows audio...it lets you choose a player
[11:05] <jeeves_Moss> ok, were you able to check out that link?
[11:06] <jeeves_Moss> jbaloul:  ok, how do I do that?
[11:06] <possie> how can i make sure that my redirect also runs with root privileges ? e.g.    echo "foo" > /place/where/only/root/has/can/write
[11:06] <possie> s/has\/// :-)
[11:06] <jbaloul> you have firefox?
[11:06] <jeeves_Moss> jbaloul:  yep, firefox is installed.
[11:07] <carthik> jeeves_Moss, follow the instructions here: http://wiki.ubuntu-fr.org/doc/plf#primary
[11:07] <jbaloul> tools>extensions>get more extensions >search for MediaPlayerConnectivity
[11:07] <carthik> that will give you the codecs and the non-free stuff, jeeves_Moss
[11:07] <jbaloul> that should be good once you get the codecs
[11:07] <jeeves_Moss> carthik:  what do you mean?
[11:07] <carthik> then, do a $sudo apt-get install mplayer-686 mozilla-mplayer
[11:08] <bliss1_> carthik; there another little prog that lets you set process its preey good  sudo sysv-rc-conf
[11:08] <carthik> jeeves_Moss, I mean you should read the three lines there and follow them on your computer.
[11:08] <jbaloul> easy carthik ;-)
[11:08] <Seveas> possie, echo foo | sudo tee /place/...
[11:08] <knanand> Hi
[11:08] <bliss1_> Madpilot: here is another prog to see process;  sudo sysv-rc-conf
[11:08] <jeeves_Moss> carthik:  thanks again guys.  I'll be back in a bit once I get lost.  LOL
[11:08] <possie> Seveas, thanks
[11:09] <carthik> jeeves_Moss, http://wiki.ubuntu-fr.org/doc/plf#users_using_the_plf_repository
[11:09] <jbaloul> jeeves_Moss have fun and good luck
[11:10] <bliss1_> carthik: is there a proramme that checks clusters and the sectors in a partition and fixes them
[11:11] <knanand> Do I need to download and install the pacakages each time i install or can i have a copy of the downloaded pacakge and use it next time i install.. ( I mean the mp3 codec or any updates that i have got )
[11:11] <carthik> fsck, bliss1_
[11:11] <carthik> knanand, you can use the same one later, but usually updated packages are better
[11:11] <bliss1_> carthik: does it fix them also
[11:11] <zepmantra> hi i just tried to install ubuntu, it hangs on this part "ata1: dev 0 ATA, max UDMA/133, 156301488 sectors lba48 ... it also hangs in kubuntu, is it because my hard disk is SATA ?
[11:12] <sfar|wr0k> i dont think so zepmantra
[11:12] <carthik> bliss1_, try $apropos fsck
[11:12] <jbaloul> zepmantra is this Sata raid ?
[11:12] <zepmantra> no...
[11:12] <jeeves_Moss> carthink, jbaloul:  well, its installing.  Does this automaticly allow me to play the stream?
[11:12] <healot> zepmantra, is it more than 120GB?
[11:12] <zepmantra> 80gig..
[11:13] <carthik> jeeves_Moss, once everything is installed, it shoudl work just fine
[11:13] <bliss1_> carthik: thanks I will did you see my post about sudo sysv-rc-conf
[11:13] <jeeves_Moss> carthik:  well, we'll see in 2 mins.  LOL
[11:13] <jbaloul> jeeves_Moss yeh exactly....when you have the codecs and the player then the firefox extension should let you select which player you want to choose for each stream
[11:14] <bliss1_> carthik: just what I need thanks
[11:14] <jeeves_Moss> jbaloul:  thanks again.  I just need to find out how to fight with MySQL next.  LOL
[11:14] <carthik> bliss1_, i haven't used it so wouldn't know :)
[11:14] <carthik> bliss1_, sysv-rc-conf i mean
[11:14] <jbaloul> jeeves_Moss thats quite a jump from codecs :)
[11:15] <knanand> carthik, i think u don get me.. now, i have downloaded the mp3 codec, next time i install will i need to download it again or can i copy the downloaded (.deb) file somewhere and install it ofline...
[11:15] <bliss1_> carthik: ok i understand its a little gem in a terminal
[11:15] <jbaloul> knanand copy plus offline should work fine
[11:15] <jeeves_Moss> jbaloul:  lol.  no kidding.  I don't do normal things.  I'm trying to get this desktop set up (actuly its my laptop), and also install a HL2 server.
[11:15] <healot> "dpkg -i <deb file>", knanand
[11:16] <carthik> knanand, on another computer? well, you can copy it over and install it from the .deb, sure can. just make sure you have all the dependecies too with you
[11:16] <jbaloul> ha!
[11:16] <stefan__> gnh
[11:16] <knanand> carthik, but wer does it download the .deb file?
[11:17] <jeeves_Moss> jbaloul:  well, it dosen't work.  I don't get this.  Why can't FireFix just automaticly get the proper plug-ins?
[11:17] <bliss1_> cathink: when running the apropos fsck
[11:17] <bliss1_>  command its the whole command followed by an arugument
[11:17] <jbaloul> automatically...he he famous last words
[11:17] <carthik> knanand, /var/cache/apt/archives
[11:17] <Mr_Pain> WRRRRR
[11:18] <liable> WWEEEE
[11:18] <Rdde> where is the cron file located? =S
[11:18] <jbaloul> knanand "ls /var/cache/apt/archives/"
[11:18] <carthik> Rdde, you can edit it using crontab -e
[11:18] <carthik> Rdde, which is the right way
[11:18] <bliss1_> carthik: fscapropos fsck msdos /dev/hda1
[11:18] <jeeves_Moss> jbaloul, carthik:  any ideas on this streaming problem?
[11:18] <carthik> bliss1_, no, apropos is a command that tells you neat one-line summaries about things
[11:19] <healot> Rdde, in /etc/cron.* directories, weekly, hourly, daily and .d
[11:19] <jbaloul> jeeves_Moss do you kaffeine ?
[11:19] <carthik> to use fsck,you will need $fsck something-or-the-other
[11:19] <jeeves_Moss> jbaloul:  I tried installing that software you told me to install
[11:19] <bliss1_> carthik; o yes I see
[11:19] <jbaloul> and ?
[11:20] <jeeves_Moss> jbaloul:  I'm guessing I should have it installed as well?
[11:20] <knanand> jbaloul: Thank You!
[11:20] <jbaloul> guess is correct
[11:20] <jbaloul> knanand np
[11:20] <jeeves_Moss> jbaloul:  yes, its installed.
[11:20] <knanand> carthik: Thank You too...
[11:20] <jbaloul> ok open it
[11:20] <carthik> knanand, anytime
[11:20] <jbaloul> now open url
[11:20] <Rdde> healot, so the only way i can see all the cron jobs is by crontab -e ? =(
[11:20] <bliss1_> carthik; so you can use  apropos  in many ways
[11:21] <carthik> bliss1_, yes you can
[11:21] <jbaloul> and point to the website stream url
[11:21] <carthik> bliss1_, if you point it a  file, it will tell you thins you can do to open the file, or things you can do with the file etc..
[11:21] <jeeves_Moss> jbaloul:  is there any way to play it direct from the web broswer?
[11:21] <jbaloul> Rdde crontab -l or cat /etc/crontab
[11:22] <jbaloul> jeeves_Moss yes with the extension that i told you to get :)
[11:22] <bliss1_> carthik: and exe files and tar balls and scipts
[11:22] <jeeves_Moss> jbaloul:  well, I went and got all the software you told me to get
[11:23] <knanand> carthik; one more doubt.. how to install .deb file i tried by double clickin it but gives an error... (i'm new to linux)
[11:23] <jbaloul> now all you need to do is figure out how to put it all together and use it...your very close
[11:23] <jeeves_Moss> jbaloul:  Kaffeine is telling me that "No part is found", and "No DVB-Device" installed
[11:23] <jbaloul> knanand you need to use sudo for that
[11:23] <Sh4d0x> hi all
[11:23] <carthik> knanand, dpkg -i <name-of-deb>
[11:24] <carthik> knanand, add a $sudo to the beginning, sorry
[11:24] <wontonjoe> hay guys, when you right click on an .iso to burn it to dvd is it going to burn the iso as just a .iso file on there or is it creating my dvd from the image like it should in ubuntu?
[11:24] <jbaloul> jeeves_Moss are you sure you put in the correct url
[11:24] <carthik> knanand, you must be in the same directory as the debian, of course
[11:24] <healot> Rdde, as i listed the dirs, you can edit them manual, but to do it safely, crontab -e :_)
[11:24] <Sh4d0x> can someone tell me once more how to solve the gmt probleme? when i'm in windows my clock is not correct
[11:25] <jeeves_Moss> jbaloul:  there isn't a direct URL for the stream.  the IRL it gives from the site (that has the stream embedded in it) is http://www.z1035.com/home/listen.html
[11:25] <Rdde> healot,  the problem is that i want to edit them from a script.. i would love to use sed on the nice list that is in crontab -e =(
[11:25] <healot> Sh4d0x, you can fix your clock by setting the correct timezone... the same as your Windows timezone setting...
[11:26] <healot> Rdde, you can do "sed"ing to... if you want, just know the correct file...
[11:26] <bh> Hello, how do I get the Macromedia flash player working in amd64 ?
[11:26] <bh> I just installed the swf-player package, but it doesn't do much of anything
[11:27] <jeeves_Moss> jbaloul:  basicly I'd like it to just play the embedded stream in the web broswer.  I had it working before (differen't install), but I can't rember how.
[11:27] <Sh4d0x> healot, i did (i guess) but last time I solved it by turning the gmt off, but i don't know the terminal command to enter the clock entries en turn the gmt off :$
[11:27] <Rdde> healot,  how do you mean?
[11:27] <healot> Sh4d0x, you can set that clock to UTC...
[11:28] <healot> bh, "libflash-mozplugin" -- the plugin for mozilla/firefox/etc...

[11:28] <wontonjoe> jeeves mplayer has an embedded stream player for firefox its nice
[11:28] <healot> for better Flash support, uses Firefox(32bit) + "linux32"
[11:28] <bh> healot, I'll search for the package now
[11:29] <healot> bh, expanded your repos yet?
[11:29] <jbaloul> jeeves_Moss i think you should consult with the guys at #kde or #kaffeine they mite be able to shed some light

[11:30] <carthik> easytag
[11:30] <ESPOiG> k thx
[11:31] <healot> EddieX, ask nvidia, well it is actually available at nvidia's site
[11:31] <EddieX> healot, No it is not ? I installed the latest last night...
[11:31] <jeeves_Moss> jbaloul:  well, no one is in there.
[11:31] <bh> looking good in konqueror, now I'm going to use it.
[11:31] <cfraz89> ok
[11:31] <jbaloul> in #kde are you sure?
[11:31] <cfraz89> thanks
[11:31] <jbaloul> np

[11:31] <healot> EddieX, read the release documentation yet?
[11:31] <Sh4d0x> cya
[11:32] <bh> healot, yikes, it crashes
[11:32] <EddieX> healot, Well i just read the supported products list for the latest driver.
[11:32] <healot> bh, hehe, expected that...
[11:32] <healot> than nvidia sucks, EddieX :)
[11:32] <EddieX> healot, Hehe perhaps :)
[11:32] <healot> PCI-e card, EddieX ?
[11:32] <chris228> hi, where can i get the 855 resolution developer?
[11:32] <EddieX> healot, Indeed, 7600gt
[11:33] <healot> EddieX, for the time being, try VGA or VESA... sorry, can;t do much with ATi/nvidia's latest cards...
[11:33] <adhoc> the 6600gt is supported nicely ;)
[11:34] <EddieX> healot, Well that is not an option(vesa) because the fan on the gpu is very loud without a proper driver ;(
[11:34] <BlueHeron> how do i get rid of the default ubuntu bootsplash screen
[11:34] <BlueHeron> and use a custom one?
[11:34] <healot> you got the one with fan? evil loud B**** card :)
[11:35] <EddieX> healot, I know... i do consider to return this card for a 7600gs that hs no fan.
[11:35] <knanand> thankx.. :)
[11:35] <knanand> bye
[11:35] <knanand> :)
[11:36] <chris228> anyone know where i can get 855resolution-developer? google didnt find anything
[11:36] <healot> friends never recommends card with fans...
[11:36] <healot> just add a big cuprum heatsink :)
[11:36] <EddieX> healot, :)
[11:36] <adhoc> healot: go serial terminals .. no fans ;)
[11:36] <chris228> umm...help ?
[11:37] <unL33Tn00b> Question: Does anyone know where to find freeware *nix business software?
[11:37] <healot> chris228, Kenshi Muto<EMAIL_ADDRESS>--> it's in the package info
[11:37] <jeeves_Moss> jbaloul:  still therE?
[11:37] <jbaloul> yeh
[11:37] <healot> reading "/usr/share/doc/855resolution/
[11:37] <healot> README.Debian" might help, chris228
[11:37] <unL33Tn00b> I'm trying to find a schedule (for for work) program.  My employess are currently using pen and paper to write the weekly schedules.
[11:37] <jeeves_Moss> jbaloul:  well, I went looking around, and no one is there.  Any other ideas?
[11:37] <healot> unL33Tn00b, a lot... out there...
[11:38] <healot> what kind of app unL33Tn00b ?
[11:38] <unL33Tn00b> healot Really?  I need something that I don't have to liscence (free).
[11:38] <crossbar> has anyone been successful at installing ubu 5.1 on a thinkpad r31?
[11:38] <healot> they HAVE license, unL33Tn00b :)
[11:39] <healot> but the license it for us to freely use/distribute/modify it
[11:39] <Frogzoo> unL33Tn00b: take a look at Imendio Planner
[11:39] <unL33Tn00b> healot I meant something that was covered by GPL (is that correct?)
[11:39] <unL33Tn00b> Frogzoo Thank you.  I'll look it up right now.  Any other suggestions?
[11:39] <healot> mostly.... unL33Tn00b and some other OSI-compliance licenses too
[11:40] <unL33Tn00b> healot Basicly I need something I needn't pay for, am not pirating, and runs on *nix (I'll use almost any distro)
[11:40] <Frogzoo> unL33Tn00b: depending on your needs, you could do some neat stuff with oo
[11:40] <healot> unL33Tn00b, what type of app?
[11:41] <Frogzoo> I cannot get winetools to run because http://puzzle.dl.sourceforge.net is out to lunch - any alternatives?
[11:41] <unL33Tn00b> Frogzoo Keep in mind none of my employess (those who will use the software) are linux peeps.  I need something farlely idiot proof.
[11:41] <healot> unL33Tn00b, I guarantee you'll pay, for the support though... most of the licenses are free (no charge)
[11:41] <jbaloul> jeeves_Moss there are 241 people online at #kde
[11:41] <BlueHeron> how do i get rid of the default ubuntu bootsplash screen
[11:41] <unL33Tn00b> healot That's fine.   Right now, just about anything would improve it.  My people are currently hasjing it out manually on paper.  Take 'em -hours-.
[11:43] <adhoc> unL33Tn00b, have you had a look on freshmeat or sourceforge ? search there ...
[11:44] <healot> unL33Tn00b, something like a HRM would suit you?
[11:45] <Frogzoo> unL33Tn00b: http://developer.imendio.com/wiki/Planner
[11:45] <unL33Tn00b> healot Could you define HRM?
[11:45] <unL33Tn00b> Frogzoo Thank you.  I truly appreciate the aid. ;)
[11:45] <heatxsink> anyone in here have a PCI Prism I card in their desktop and working?
[11:46] <healot> Human Resource Management,, like employee leave, employee database, circulation system?
[11:46] <healot> qwell, for a simple scheduler, "Planner" would work fine :)
[11:46] <unL33Tn00b> healot Frogzoo Wow!  That link looks exactly like what I'm looking for!  I can't express my gratitude!
[11:48] <orbital_fox> morning
[11:48] <cfraz89> healot: also taskjuggler
[11:48] <Frogzoo> unL33Tn00b: well I was pretty impressed with it - & it makes my life quite a bit easier
[11:48] <orbital_fox> any good recommendations of channels for programming/
[11:48] <orbital_fox> ?
[11:48] <cfraz89> is more complex than planner though
[11:49] <kingspawn> orbital_fox: that depends on the language :)
[11:49] <ESPOiG> ubuntu 6.04 aint comin out in april is it?
[11:49] <jbaloul> ESPOiG no it was postponed
[11:49] <jbaloul> i beleive june now
[11:49] <ESPOiG> how long
[11:49] <ESPOiG> k
[11:49] <healot> orbital_fox, try #C or #Java ?
[11:49] <ESPOiG> not to bad
[11:50] <healot> ESPOiG, 6.06 now -)
[11:50] <ESPOiG> aws
[11:50] <jbaloul> heh
[11:50] <ESPOiG> gone up .02
[11:50] <ESPOiG> :P
[11:50] <orbital_fox> kingspawn, c++,php, but other ones too :D
[11:50] <orbital_fox> healot, cheers mate
[11:50] <sfar|wr0k> ESPOiG: its 6.06 and will be released 1st june
[11:50] <gnomefreak> ESPOiG: it wont be released till june 1st now
[11:50] <sfar|wr0k> ESPOiG 6.06 because its 2006 and its released in the 6th month of that year..
[11:50] <ESPOiG> k
[11:51] <sfar|wr0k> like 5.10 was released in october 2005 :)
[11:51] <ESPOiG> oh
[11:51] <jbaloul> yeh...oh
[11:51] <jbaloul> nice to know
[11:51] <jbaloul> makes sence
[11:51] <kingspawn> orbital_fox: dont know if there are any "general" programming channels, but just prefix your language with a # and join it, good chances of success :)
[11:51] <healot> cheers "f*** face" -- :)
[11:51] <Frogzoo> where can I find a list of sourceforge mirrors? (yes, tried google already)
[11:52] <jbaloul> Frogzoo did you try google (just joking)
[11:52] <Frogzoo> jbaloul: seriously, mebbe I'm going blind
[11:52] <jbaloul> he he :)
[11:52] <sfar|wr0k> orbital_fox: /join #c#
[11:52] <ESPOiG> lol go MSN :P... wait i must kill myself now
[11:52] <healot> one hard way to find the mirrors... is to dl some file... and copy all the links at the mirrors page...
[11:52] <healot> I did that :(
[11:53] <gnomefreak> Frogzoo: go to sourceforge like you are goin gto download something but before you do you should see the mirrors
[11:53] <liable> Frogzoo: by trying to download an app from sourceforge??
[11:53] <orbital_fox> sfar|wr0k, u mean ##c ?
[11:53] <healot> #C# for C# (C Sharp)
[11:53] <sfar|wr0k> hm, maybe .. #c# is another channel (c sharp) i think
[11:54] <Frogzoo> liable: oh, they do their own load balancing, nice, thx, that should solve my problem
[11:54] <orbital_fox> sfar, i am not into C# :S
[11:54] <sfar|wr0k> ok :D
[11:55] <sethk> someone had a c# question?
[11:55] <chris228> i downloaded 855-resolution-0.3.orig , how do i install this so my system uses it ?
[11:55] <healot> chris228, that's the source...
[11:56] <chris228> does that mean I need to compile it or does it mean I downloaded the wrong thing ?
[11:56] <jbaloul> later guys gotta run
[11:56] <chris228> 8r
[11:56] <sethk> chris228, doesn't sound like something to compiler
[11:57] <sethk> chris228, usually code that needs to be compiled is distributed as a .tar.bz2 or .tar.bz
[11:57] <sebastienb> help, i am french ...
[11:57] <sethk> sebastienb, nothing we can do about that   :)
[11:57] <healot> 855-resolution*.deb file... chris228
[11:57] <gnomefreak> sebastienb: join #ubuntu-fr
[11:57] <sebastienb> where is the irc french ?
[11:57] <sebastienb> thank
[11:57] <gnomefreak> yw
[11:57] <healot> no the tar.gz file (tarred gzipped source files)
[11:57] <Ng> is there a mac specific ubuntu channel? not used a mac before much and it's not installing so well ;)
[11:57] <chris228> ok, let me try and find that
[11:57] <Frogzoo> !fr
[11:57] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[11:58] <gnomefreak> Ng: there is #apple or #mac i think i know there is a #osx for sure
[11:58] <Ng> gnomefreak: those don't sound very ubuntu related ;)
[11:58] <Bambino> Are there a possibility to install a 32bit version of something on a 64bit? I have 64bit ubuntu, and i need 64bit ati drivers. However, ati says on their website, that the 32 drivers must be installed first, then the 64 drivers. but when i try to install anything with 32 drivers it says i need 64bit.. So, any trick to go around it?
[11:59] <gnomefreak> Ng: they are not they are mac related you are in the ubuntu-mac channel ;)
[11:59] <healot> Ng, I guess you can ask the PPC Ubuntu users...
[11:59] <healot> Bambino, YES!
[11:59] <chris228> these dudes got linux to run on an xbox, maybe there goin for it on a mac ?
[11:59] <healot> maybe not kernel modules/or drivers.... Bambino, mostly regular application
[12:00] <munzir> Hi, fdisk output shows I have 3 partitions that each  start where the previous ends but qtparted/gparted shows there is around 5MB unallocated after my windows partition, what's wrong please?
[12:00] <Bambino> healot, that's yet another shame. So i cant have my drivers installed now for years to come until 64bit version is out :(
[12:00] <patrick52222> this there a command which will set the permissions for /Var/www/ to aloow everyone in it
[12:00] <Ng> ok, so confusion aside, anyone know why yaboot would fail to load the second stage loader? it just goes right back to the smiley apple logo and loads the first stage again
[12:00] <healot> Bambino, did you follow the instructions properly...
[12:01] <healot> most of the 32bit files that ATi said on their site were installed by default in Ubuntu x64
[12:01] <wontonjoe> ng isnt this ubuntu not osx
[12:01] <munzir> patrick52222: you want to do what?
[12:02] <kameron> just booting the install cd, on a p2 box with little ram, i don't recal how much.. it says "Kernel panic - not syncing: no init found. Try passing init= option to the kernel." what should i try here?
[12:02] <Bambino> healot, well I read the site, i did not do anything cause i dont wanna crash my system. It just said that to be able to install 64bit drivers. you have to install 32bit and THEN 64bits.
[12:02] <Ng> wontonjoe: I don't have osx installed on the machine
[12:02] <healot> jsut run the installer... after you installed the other depedencies, don't worry about those 32bit dependeccies
[12:02] <gnomefreak> sorry Ng i dont but nalioth might know hes a ppc user
[12:02] <patrick52222> munzir: to be able to put files in it
[12:02] <wontonjoe> well it sounded like thats what you were trying to do talking about apple logo and such
[12:02] <healot> Bambino, or just to be safe, just use the precompiled modules that comes with Ubuntu
[12:03] <Ng> wontonjoe: nope ;)
[12:03] <gnomefreak> wontonjoe: macs use the apple logo because its an apple not because of the os installed
[12:03] <munzir> patrick52222: you don't have the root password?
[12:04] <wontonjoe> gnomefreak, i know all about macs, but i cant make any sense of what you just tried to say in relation to anything i said
[12:04] <wontonjoe> yaboot sucks by the way
[12:04] <wontonjoe> but it will work for linux
[12:04] <Ng> how wonderful, I don't appear to have any choice in using it
[12:04] <gnomefreak> wontonjoe: you stated that when he said the apple logo made you think he was using osx
[12:04] <Ng> so that's not especially helpful ;)
[12:04] <gnomefreak> Ng:  nope grub nor lilo will work on mac :(
[12:05] <Bambino> healot, so there is no chance for a new user like me to get the 64 bit ati running are there..?
[12:05] <healot> Bambino, by default, you'll encounter an error if you use the repos driver, but here is the fix for that :)
[12:05] <Ng> gnomefreak: well of course, they're PC specific

[12:05] <healot> Bambino, I g ot that working... by using the Ubuntu's package...
[12:05] <Bambino> healot, you got 64bit working? ati?
[12:05] <wontonjoe> smiley apple logo means you arent even running x, maybe 9
[12:05] <healot> yes!
[12:05] <healot> check out
[12:06] <Bambino> Oh cool.
[12:06] <funkyHat> Is it possible to back up an entire partition over multiple CDs?
[12:06] <wontonjoe> partimage

[12:08] <heatxsink> can anyone lend me a hand in renaming my NIC's?

[12:08] <Bambino> healot, mind if I ask how you did? (remember i am a new user to linux)

[12:09] <athlonxp> hi
[12:09] <healot> if you got problem after that... go back to (blaming) me :)
[12:09] <munzir> patrick52222: you can put stuff now with the command I gave you, what's wrong with it?
[12:10] <healot> the same step... Bambino, but for the fix after that...
[12:10] <healot> http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=198
[12:11] <funkyHat> cheers Xenguy I'm installing now, I'll have a look at the man page

[12:12] <healot> hum... I should make a graphical wiki using synaptic snapshots on ati for x64
[12:14] <munzir> patrick52222: please paste the whole command as you typed it
[12:14] <Bambino> healot, wich should i run first?
[12:14] <BlueHeron> could anyone here who is an expert look at some source for me and answer a few questions ?

[12:16] <ndiogo> hi everybody

[12:16] <Bambino> healot, i followed the 2 links you pointed out, for the fix and the other wiki thing

[12:19] <ndiogo> and ive sucessfully installed on my previous laptop the same way..created the partitions with Pq8, etc...
[12:19] <ndiogo> on my new laptop thats what happens
[12:20] <Bambino> healot, one question, please bear with me, if you feel this is annoying no prob i can ask someone else :P.. But it says that ofr amd64bit it could be xeon, k8 etc.. How do I know which i have?
[12:20] <healot> Bambino, just remember the last step is essential "#
[12:20] <healot> Restart your computer
[12:20] <healot>  " :)

[12:20] <Bambino> mjr, thanks :)
[12:21] <gnomefreak> ndiogo: did you check the md5sum of the iso you downloaded and btw there was no 5.09
[12:21] <ndiogo> 5.9
[12:21] <ndiogo> ?
[12:21] <gnomefreak> no 5.04 or 5.10

[12:21] <ndiogo> thats it
[12:21] <funkyHat> I have an option in my BIOS for '32bit data transfer' on IDE devices... should I enable it?
[12:22] <ndiogo> how do i check the md5sum?
[12:22] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell ndiogo about verify
[12:22] <gnomefreak> ndiogo: the link in your pm should help with that
[12:23] <ndiogo> ok thanks
[12:24] <healot> funkyHat, mostly it is fine for most of the time...
[12:24] <funkyHat> ?
[12:25] <patrick52222> how do i log in as root
[12:26] <Stork> patrick52222, root or superuser?
[12:26] <healot> "su"
[12:26] <Stork> "sudo su"
[12:26] <Stork> or "sudo -s"
[12:26] <patrick52222> wat the differnce
[12:26] <Stork> no idea ;)
[12:26] <acidborg> hi
[12:26] <Stork> patrick52222, i use "sudo -s" and it works great.
[12:26] <acidborg> i've got a problem running python apps in Ubuntu Dapper
[12:26] <sfar|wr0k> heh, sudo su :>
[12:26] <acidborg> Error message:   import gtk. ImportError: No module named gtk
[12:27] <acidborg>  i've installed all pygtk & python-gnome2-* packages (even dev ones) but the problem continues
[12:27] <healot> wxpython acidborg ?
[12:27] <acidborg> what can i do?
[12:27] <patrick52222> i mean how do i log in as root at the login screen
[12:27] <Stork> how can i find out my cpu's load from the command line
[12:27] <acidborg> healot: let me see...
[12:27] <healot> sorry.... gtkpy... :)
[12:28] <Khamael> why can`t I sudo with the second user account?
[12:29] <acidborg> healot: yeah,all installed
[12:29] <BlueHeron> !dos2unix
[12:29] <ubotu> Did you get hit by a windmill? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, BlueHeron
[12:29] <healot> "python2.4-gtk2"? acidborg ?
[12:29] <sfar|wr0k> Khamael, you cant?
[12:30] <acidborg> healot: yes
[12:30] <funkyHat> healot, you mean mostly it's fine to select 32bit data transfer?
[12:30] <healot> Yes...
[12:30] <funkyHat> But is there an advanteage to doing it?
[12:30] <funkyHat> er
[12:30] <sfar|wr0k> Khamael: what password did you use?
[12:30] <funkyHat> *advantage
[12:30] <acidborg> healot: i search pygtk in synaptic and installed all except fot the 1.2 branch
[12:30] <healot> if you found it to be buggy, may want to turn that off... faster IDE transfer...
[12:30] <sfar|wr0k> Khamael: you shall use the 1st-user-password
[12:30] <funkyHat> Ok :) thanks
[12:30] <Khamael> sfar|wr0k, when I try, say, "sudo synaptic" it asks for a password, then leaves me at the terminal
[12:31] <healot> python version 2.4, acidborg ?
[12:31] <acidborg> healot: yes
[12:31] <healot> try "import gtk2", acidborg
[12:31] <sethk> Khamael, give it your password, not the root password (which you probably already know)
[12:31] <funkyHat> grr... I'm trying to make a back up of my /home partition (ext3, I'm not using it now), but all the guides on the net are years and years old and talk about ZIP discs
[12:31] <ESPOiG> neone know howto get all messages off gmail for thunderbird?... i have marked as unread
[12:31] <acidborg> healot: ImportError: No module named gtk2
[12:31] <vinboy> anyone run CounterStrike on linux?
[12:32] <Khamael> sethk, it should work with the password of the user in question?
[12:32] <sethk> Khamael, right
[12:32] <sfar|wr0k> Khamael: enter the password (the password for the first user).. you will not see anything on the screen while typing.. then press enter
[12:32] <unL33Tn00b> Frogzoo Have sec for a Planner question?
[12:32] <sfar|wr0k> sethk, wouldn't that be the password for the FIRST user?
[12:32] <funkyHat> Can anyone help me with how to back up my /home to CDs, preserving permissions?
[12:32] <healot> acidborg, try to run "/usr/lib/pygtk/2.0/demos/textview.py"
[12:33] <sethk> sfar, the effective user id at the time the command is issued
[12:33] <acidborg> healot: [Errno 2]  No such file or directory
[12:33] <healot> that python program has "import gtk" in it
[12:33] <healot> acidborg, that mean you havent't install "python2.4-gtk2" yet
[12:33] <gnomefreak> or he used the "
[12:33] <stamen81> hello
[12:34] <sfar|wr0k> Khamael: you might need to "sudo adduser <username> admin" from the first account
[12:34] <acidborg> healot: it's marked as installed in synaptics
[12:34] <stamen81> could anybody help me who uses Gimp
[12:34] <healot> acidborg, what is the python version by running "python"...
[12:34] <acidborg> healot: 2.4.3
[12:34] <acidborg> healot: ii  python2.4-gtk2     2.8.5-0ubuntu1     Python bindings for the GTK+ widget set
[12:34] <Khamael> sfar|wr0k, that fixed it. thanks
[12:35] <healot> acidborg, then the file "/usr/lib/pygtk/2.0/demos/textview.py" should exist
[12:35] <acidborg> healot: that directory is empty
[12:35] <healot> did you typed "python /usr/lib/pygtk/2.0/demos/textview.py"?
[12:35] <healot> acidborg, how about a reinstall?
[12:35] <acidborg> healot: yeah
[12:36] <acidborg> healot: i've reinstalled all pygtk packages twice
[12:36] <healot> mine have the same version of "python2.4-gtk2"...
[12:36] <acidborg> healot: even python & python2.4 packages
[12:36] <healot> I ssee the window "TextView Demo" if i run that python program
[12:36] <vinboy> how do I limit my connection speed of apt-get?
[12:37] <cpt> hellop
[12:37] <acidborg> healot: i'm reinstalling again...
[12:37] <bliss1_> helo
[12:37] <gnomefreak> acidborg: your on dapper arnt you?
[12:37] <acidborg> gnomefreak: yes
[12:38] <gnomefreak> thats why
[12:38] <healot> hohoho :)
[12:38] <acidborg> healot: reinstalled. same problem
[12:38] <healot> that's why... figures
[12:38] <gnomefreak> healot: dapper cant open it that way
[12:38] <gnomefreak> i tried it ;)
[12:38] <BlueHeron> how can i force an OSS program to use alsa
[12:38] <BlueHeron> isn't their a way?
[12:38] <acidborg> gnomefreak: what do you mean?
[12:38] <funkyHat> BlueDevil, aoss
[12:38] <funkyHat> BlueHeron, *
[12:38] <bliss1_> gnomefreak : hi what's up
[12:38] <BlueHeron> how does that work
[12:38] <gnomefreak> acidborg: i mean using the commands he gave you wont work in dapper
[12:38] <gnomefreak> hi bliss1_
[12:38] <BlueHeron> !aoss
[12:38] <ubotu> BlueHeron: Did you get hit by a windmill? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[12:38] <healot> dapper... sorry... can 't help much, dapper is really buggy for the time being
[12:39] <BlueHeron> funkyHat: how do i set that up
[12:39] <gnomefreak> more than people relize :(
[12:39] <acidborg> gnomefreak: it doesn't work beacause the directory is empty
[12:39] <funkyHat> BlueHeron, I think you might have to install alsa-oss first, but then just $ aoss program
[12:39] <BlueHeron> ahh
[12:39] <gnomefreak> acidborg: im not sure why its not working that could be the reason
[12:39] <acidborg> but i installed dapper flight 5 the other day in a notebook and it just works fine
[12:39] <gnomefreak> acidborg: for future dapper related topics please use #ubuntu+1
[12:40] <BlueHeron> funkyHat: WOW got it working that easy, finally this was like my #1 problem on linux
[12:40] <acidborg> gnomefreak: ok,thanks
[12:40] <acidborg> healot: thanks anyway
[12:40] <BlueHeron> funkyHat: thanks a ton
[12:40] <funkyHat> BlueHeron, hehehe, np
[12:41] <lippel> hi. what's the proper way to prevent a module from being loaded in ubuntu? pcspkr in particular.
[12:41] <BlueHeron> funkyHat: and i had the capability the whole time ... lol
[12:41] <bliss1_> gnomefreak: just been reading the man page for visudo  with the view to editing sudoers
[12:41] <gnomefreak> :(
[12:42] <healot> lippel, you can blacklist the module...
[12:42] <lippel> ah, blacklist.d looks promising
[12:42] <bliss1_> gnomefreak: :)
[12:42] <lippel> healot: heh, just googled it. thanks anyway.
[12:42] <healot> great work...
[12:43] <healot> I can't spoon feed everyone :)
[12:45] <bliss1_> gnomefreak: there are a few options in visudo i am trying to find the option to use visudo with a editor
[12:46] <funkyHat> bliss1_, visudo uses your default editor
[12:47] <graveson> blueheron: i needed the same as you with an app called audacity but aoss does not seem to work well
[12:48] <bliss1_> funkyHat: i am just looking at the options to edit the sudoers file with visudo its not as simple to me as it should be
[12:48] <BlueHeron> graveson: sorry to hear that
[12:48] <BlueHeron> graveson: fortunatly my app seems to work perfectly with it.
[12:48] <funkyHat> bliss1_, I think in ubuntu visudo uses nano by default... nano is pretty easy
[12:48] <BlueHeron> graveson: what do you use audacity for?
[12:49] <funkyHat> graveson, aoss isn't as likely to work with audio inputs as it is with outputs unfortunately.
[12:49] <graveson> blueheron: i have a  whole bunch of audio tapes that i am converting to mp3 .it work like a charm
[12:49] <bliss1_> funkyHat ok yes it is easy  i am looking for the correct command at command line
[12:49] <gnomefreak> healot: the path the viewer is in is kind of funky lol
[12:49] <BlueHeron> graveson: ahh i see, but once they are .mp3 can't u just use xmms to play them which uses alsa ?
[12:50] <gnomefreak> healot: where were you going with him so i know where to begin?
[12:50] <healot> viewer?
[12:50] <gnomefreak> the python viewer
[12:50] <graveson> blueheron: yes once that is done i can go back to using alsa
[12:51] <gnomefreak> /usr/share/doc/python2.4-gtk2/examples/demos/textview.py   <<this thing
[12:51] <healot> he was talking about GTK+ bindings.... if he installed the bindings on Breezy, he should have the demo installed...
[12:52] <healot> good start for Python/GTK programming...
[12:52] <gnomefreak> he has it installed just in a different location
[12:52] <healot> yeah, that's Dapper
[12:52] <gnomefreak> hes saying his python apps dont work
[12:52] <bliss1_> funkyHat: the options appear to be -c check only mode  -f specify an alternative souders file location  -q enable quite mode  -s enable strict checking of sudoer file  s
[12:53] <healot> I dont follow much Dapper... because it still a test version
[12:53] <gnomefreak> thats where im lost
[12:53] <healot> the python-gtk2 packages seems to have a different install directory... :0
[12:54] <gnomefreak> always why would they leave it alone :(
[12:56] <sudomania4> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[12:56] <sudomania4>  Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[12:56] <sudomania4>  *** ppracer error: Couldn't initialize video: Couldn't find matching GLX visual
[12:56] <sudomania4> is the error i get when i try to run ppracer
[12:56] <sudomania4> what is wrong?
[12:57] <healot> sudomania4, check out you /var/log/X.0.log first, see if glx is successfully loaded?
[12:57] <healot> "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" ->> the file that you should check out
[12:57] <bliss1_> funkHat: there is a environment variable  only used if visudo is configured with --with-env-editor option VISUAL  invoked by visdo as the editor to use EDITOR   used by visdo if editor is not set
[12:59] <healot> could you paste thing here?
[12:59] <healot> !pastebin
[12:59] <ubotu> hmm... pastebin is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/, a site for pasting long texts so you don't disrupt the channel - or install webboard in Gnome: http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1269
[12:59] <healot> there, sudomania4, sorry have to ignore your flood :)
[12:59] <sudomania4> ?
[12:59] <bliss1_> funkHat: any ideas
[01:00] <sudomania4> herzi, ignore my flood?
[01:00] <sudomania4> no stupid nickname completion
[01:00] <sudomania4> healot, ignore my flood?
[01:01] <sudomania4> kd_, thanks ill paste it later
[01:01] <sudomania4> no not kd_, ok
[01:01] <sudomania4> ugh, name completion
[01:01] <sudomania4> doesnt work
[01:01] <sudomania4> nm
[01:01] <healot> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org >> please do that here... and paste the address though :)
[01:01] <concept10> quick question: after a while my packages database acts slow when installing new apps.  any way to clean this?
[01:02] <sudomania4> healot, i will, but i have to go now
[01:02] <healot> ok, later
[01:03] <healot> clean/fix the download?
[01:08] <Sk8aZ> hey, i have a problem - even tough i have dowloaded the newest stable version, it still stalls on loading - i waited 5 mins - nothing, what can i do to boot it?
[01:10] <healot> 5.10 IsO image?
[01:10] <Sk8aZ> yes
[01:10] <Sk8aZ> burned it
[01:10] <Sk8aZ> slowly
[01:11] <healot> test the CD image using the installer or md5 checksum?
[01:11] <Sk8aZ> ok
[01:12] <healot> to test the CD... enter "expert" during the boot prompt
[01:12] <aabot> !verify
[01:12] <ubotu> verify is, like, to check the integrity of your installation media, one way is to visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VerifyIsoHowto
[01:13] <Sk8aZ> ok, does that work on a livecd?
[01:13] <healot> yup...
[01:14] <Picky> i've a x-micro 11g pci wireless card, is there driver for it, x-micro doesn't have it
[01:14] <Sk8aZ> thanks a lot... ill test it right now
[01:15] <healot> Picky, since x-micro doesn;t release linux drivers, you may want to try "ndiswrapper" instead
[01:15] <healot> !wifi
[01:15] <ubotu> wifi is probably https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WiFiHowto
[01:16] <Picky> thx, i'll check it out
[01:19] <hack_wst> how can i register a user
[01:19] <hack_wst> i am just jion this kind of chating
[01:20] <kingspawn> hack_wst: /msg nickserv register <password>

[01:20] <LadyNikon> system.
[01:20] <healot> IRC or Linux user?
[01:20] <gnomefreak> hack_wst: for freenode you would type in server tab /msg nickserv register password     password being your nicks password
[01:20] <j2daosh> what is wrong?
[01:21] <j2daosh> tristan__,  im gonna assume you dont mean that condom
[01:21] <LadyNikon> gnomefreak: that is to assume there is a server tap ;)
[01:21] <tristan__> j2daosh, no I mean LaTeX....
[01:21] <healot> dude! he meant the text processor
[01:21] <gnomefreak> hack_wst: just make sure the name you are using is the one that you want registered
[01:21] <j2daosh> lol calm down.. its a joke people
[01:21] <gnomefreak> ;adydont all irc clients have a server screen/tab?
[01:22] <healot> i haven't use latex (the rubber) for quite a while :)
[01:22] <gnomefreak> LadyNikon: ^^^   typing issues this am
[01:22] <LadyNikon> gnomefreak: HEH
[01:22] <ESPOiG> bmp or xmms... which is better?
[01:22] <j2daosh> xmms
[01:22] <LadyNikon> xmms
[01:22] <ESPOiG> y
[01:22] <Picky> healot, my card is not listed in the supported device list. Is it any use to continu the installation
[01:22] <ESPOiG> aint bmp based on xmms
[01:23] <healot> j2daosh, just a piece of code, what's wrong with it
[01:23] <LadyNikon> because i like it better
[01:23] <painkiler> hey
[01:23] <healot> Picky, "ndiswrapper"
[01:23] <healot> !ndiswrapper
[01:23] <painkiler> how do i find the unmounted name for my ipod?
[01:23] <ubotu> methinks ndiswrapper is a way to support Windows wireless drivers, but it is buggy compared to native support. More info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[01:23] <painkiler> like sda1 or something?
[01:23] <j2daosh> healot, it prints a reference, not the actual data
[01:23] <healot> just told you about that...
[01:23] <hack_wst> can everybody see what i write
[01:23] <j2daosh> told me?
[01:23] <ESPOiG> k i got both... bmp = more gui and xmms = lagin behind in gui but both use same skins and do same stuff bmp does have a few more options but meh
[01:23] <gnomefreak> hack_wst: yes and we all answered you
[01:23] <painkiler> i need to find the unmounted section to my drive...
[01:24] <healot> nay thou, j2daosh, was referring Picky
[01:24] <ESPOiG> no hack_wst
[01:24] <painkiler> what would it be?
[01:24] <j2daosh> ahh...
[01:24] <painkiler> sda1? hda1?
[01:24] <hack_wst> haha,thankyou all
[01:24] <visor> hi everyone
[01:24] <hack_wst> where do you came from
[01:24] <ESPOiG> painkiller: type sudo fdisk -l
[01:25] <Sk8aZ> I have the same problem...as hard as i try... the disk stops booting after 1 minute when i press enter
[01:25] <gnomefreak> hack_wst: this is a support channel for non support talk please join #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:25] <kbrooks> hack_wst: this isnt a chatroom
[01:25] <healot> j2daosh, it prints the references? not the one you intended e.g. "Monday"?
[01:25] <visor> has anyone succeeded installing an S3 Unichrome Pro within dapper?
[01:25] <j2daosh> exactly
[01:26] <hack_wst> is this a question room
[01:26] <gnomefreak> visor: not sure what that is but please join #ubuntu+1 for dapper related topics
[01:26] <gnomefreak> hack_wst: about ubuntu yes
[01:26] <aabot> visor, #ubuntu+1 is the channel for dapper help and discussion
[01:26] <jahshua> hey peeps can anyone help me please, i have a friend who has installed ubuntu, but apparently somehow messed up with the gnome/X on it..so he is wondering how to set X to use a certain windwo manager by hand ??
[01:26] <visor> I've read almost everything in the forums with no success.. indeed lspci just throws an "unknown device" seems it doesnt even recognize this crappy integrated video chip
[01:27] <hack_wst> oh,i just setup this system,so i don't no much about it!
[01:27] <visor> aabot, gnomefreak: well, this channel has changed a little bit, didnt know, thanks, going to the other channel ;)
[01:27] <hack_wst> why can't i updata from the interenet
[01:28] <Picky> thx healot!
[01:28] <sfar|wr0k> thx a-lot
[01:28] <lemino> how do I adjust the brightness if I'm using a ATI-card under linux?
[01:28] <jahshua> anyone please ?
[01:29] <healot> Picky, working or not?
[01:29] <hack_wst> can any one help?

[01:29] <j2daosh> oh what the...
[01:29] <j2daosh> oh... wait.. ur a lawyer... thats right lol
[01:30] <gnomefreak> hack_wst: if you state your problem someone will try to help
[01:30] <lemino> healot: "man "X""?
[01:30] <jahshua> is there something like xwmconfig ? or maybe echo "exec fluxbox" > ~/.xinitrc ?
[01:30] <healot> "man X", i'll think you can see all the gamma option of that doc... lemino
[01:30] <j2daosh> lol lawyers dont know how to use computers... better get a secretary lol

[01:31] <healot> lemino, if you installed KDE, try to install KGamma, that  works like a snap
[01:31] <lemino> healot: under windows there was a tool from ATI that let me make the right adjustments, gamma, brightness the works.

[01:39] <Sk8aZ> I have the same problem yet again ...as hard as i try... the disk stops booting after 1 minute when i press enter (on 5.10 stable)...
[01:39] <healot> not catchy but just simply nice...
[01:40] <painkiler> how do i mount a partition when i don't know what format it is in?
[01:40] <healot> Sk8aZ, might help a bit more, if you explain a bit about your hardware...
[01:40] <painkiler> its is in /dev/sde3
[01:40] <Sk8aZ> my hardware: Cpu: Amd Athlon 2000+ 1.66ghz
[01:40] <Sk8aZ> Ram: 512mb
[01:40] <Sk8aZ> HDD: Maxtor 80gb (model unknown), Seagate 160gb (Baracuda4)

[01:40] <Sk8aZ> the rest is details
[01:40] <painkiler> but i don't know what format it is in...
[01:41] <sfar|wr0k> !tell Sk8aZ about paste
[01:41] <healot> Sk8aZ, ok, since you're booting from CD... try to boot with other bootable CDs... Windows XP CD for example?
[01:41] <healot> let's see if it's really the CD's fault... or something else
[01:41] <Sk8aZ> tried.. works ok
[01:42] <healot> then I can conclude it's the CD fault...
[01:42] <orbital_fox> how did u berd the cd?
[01:42] <orbital_fox> burn*
[01:42] <Sk8aZ> in 16x, a good verbatim cd
[01:43] <gnomefreak> Sk8aZ: lower
[01:43] <healot> or the image is faulty...
[01:43] <healot> Sk8aZ, did the checksum on the ISO image?
[01:43] <gnomefreak> Sk8aZ: go with 2 if you can if not lowest setting possible than try it
[01:43] <painkiler> hmm
[01:43] <painkiler> how do i just mount /dev/sde3?
[01:43] <Sk8aZ> checksum?
[01:43] <painkiler> it is a partition on my ipod
[01:43] <gnomefreak> !verify
[01:43] <ubotu> hmm... verify is to check the integrity of your installation media, one way is to visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VerifyIsoHowto
[01:44] <gnomefreak> ^^^ Sk8aZ
[01:44] <oskude> !ipod
[01:44] <ubotu> info for syncing your iPod is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPodHowto
[01:44] <healot> or take my worst advice, order the official CDs :)
[01:44] <painkiler> oskude: thats not what im looking for
[01:44] <painkiler> how do i mount a partition?
[01:44] <gnomefreak> !mount
[01:44] <ubotu> it has been said that mount is the command to add partitions to your filesystem - for full instructions see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingANewHardDrive For mounting windows partitions, see !windowsdrives or http://tinyurl.com/bly9f
[01:45] <healot> painkiler, use "fdisk -l", first find out which device node did your kernel registers it?
[01:45] <healot> "dmesg | tail" might show something?
[01:45] <oskude> painkiler, are you using breezy ? it should be mounted automaticly, no ?
[01:45] <painkiler> yeah, it is mounting...
[01:45] <painkiler> but not the right partition
[01:45] <painkiler> its doing sde2 not 3
[01:46] <oskude> painkiler, you have more than 1 partition on your ipod ?
[01:46] <painkiler> if i try to sudo mount /dev/sde3 /media/ipodlinux
