[03:33] <uforar> My live cd boot failed and hung at a blank screen, had to use "nosplash noapic nolapic" to get the live cd to even boot. Installed ubuntu 7.04, rebooted without the CD and its doing the same thing as previous to the "nosplash etc etc" .. when i try and start X in recov mode it says no screens found.. anyone help me please?
[03:34] <uforar> x86_64 architechure, 8800 GTX gfx card,
[03:35] <gvsa123> are you supposed to install windows before you do ubuntu?
[03:35] <gvsa123> are you NOT supposed to install windows before you do ubuntu?
[03:35] <SlimeyPe1e> gvsa123: it's best to install Windows first.
[03:35] <Frogzoo> gvsa123: for dual boot, it's easiest to do windows first
[03:35] <revilodraw> uforar: have u tried something like "dpkg reconfigure xserver"
[03:35] <christian> revilodraw: I downloaded ark, but I got the error 'The utility unrar is not in your PATH. Please install it or contact your system administrator'
[03:35] <christian> but it is a zip-file
[03:35] <genii> uforar: hit ESC when grub prompt. go to the kernel line it should be loading. edit to put the options you used before (nosplash noapic etc). Try booting. If comes up edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file to make it stick
[03:36] <Frogzoo> revilodraw: run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[03:36] <christian> ... or, I use ark to open it, but when I've done that, it is a rar-file
[03:36] <revilodraw> frogzoo: thanks thats the one... that might help uforar
[03:36] <uforar> revilodraw: nope, will give it a go tho (pretty new at this) thanks
[03:37] <gvsa123> oh i thought someone was asking about installing ubuntu and windows...\
[03:37] <revilodraw> uforar: learn to love ubuntu... it will pose lots of problems at first, but its all worth it, and u realise that the first time u use windows after ubuntu
[03:37] <lysdexsik> hiho
[03:38] <kiRite> yeah
[03:39] <Arafangion> revilodraw: That's funny, Ubuntu didn't pose any problems for me, but now that I've used it for a while, I've got quite a few problems with it. :)
[03:40] <federico> #2yellows
[03:40] <Arafangion> revilodraw: Let's not even discuss windows, though. :)
[03:40] <christian> revilodraw: Am I just have to type wine 'nameoftheexefile' to drive it?
[03:40] <christian> no more?
[03:40] <kaveh> hi again
[03:40] <Arafangion> christian: Pretty much, but it is rather hit-and-miss which applications work with wine.
[03:40] <revilodraw> chrisitian: yes i think so...i just double click though
[03:40] <kaveh> how can i swich my window manager to kde?
[03:41] <revilodraw> kaveh: i tried it... not worth it
[03:41] <kiRite> log out
[03:41] <spiekey> hi
[03:41] <christian> aight
[03:41] <Arafangion> revilodraw: A matter of opinion.
[03:41] <SlimeyPe1e> kaveh: use apt-get to install kubuntu-desktop, then log out and select kde
[03:41] <savetheWorld> kaveh: one way is to install kubuntu
[03:41] <spiekey> where can i change the umask value golbally in ubuntu?
[03:41] <fyrestrtr> kaveh: kde is a desktop environment; not a window manager -- but to get it sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[03:41] <kaveh> thanks
[03:41] <Arafangion> SlimeyPe1e: You left out the important keyword - select *session*.
[03:41] <kaveh> alot
[03:41] <savetheWorld> looks like SlimeyPe1e has the best way to do it.
[03:41] <revilodraw> arafangion: yes, we r both opinionated lol!! well i ran into lots of difficulty
[03:41] <kiRite> select kde in session menu
[03:41] <SlimeyPe1e> Arafangion: ah yeah
[03:42] <spiekey> i changed it in /etc/login.defs, but when i now log in its still 022
[03:42] <savetheWorld> kaveh: most developers seem to prefer KDE so some people feel it is worth it.
[03:42] <spiekey> (i set it to 007)
[03:42] <kaveh> another question i need persian when i want to login to gnome
[03:42] <Arafangion> revilodraw: I actually use windows more - but not by choice :( I'm a seasoned linux user, so I reckon I've simply learnt enough of linux to actually see its flaws.
[03:42] <kaveh> thanks alot guys fror replay
[03:42] <mudpuddlestones> Djoerdy, what GFX card?
[03:43] <Djoerdy> i810
[03:43] <revilodraw> ?arafangion: well, being a seasoned linux user, do u know how to format a usb disk
[03:43] <fyrestrtr> revilodraw: I already told you how, did it not work?
[03:44] <mudpuddlestones> one munite, lt me find something
[03:44] <jonathan__> somebody know how to get cool sidebar for ubuntu?
[03:44] <jonathan__> like vista
[03:44] <kaveh> SlimeyPe1e, do you know how can  i install support for persian desktop on gnome?
[03:44] <revilodraw> fyrestrt: no i get "fdisk /media/M-ROBE
[03:44] <revilodraw> You will not be able to write the partition table.
[03:44] <revilodraw> Unable to read /media/M-ROBE
[03:44] <revilodraw> "
[03:44] <revilodraw> oopps sorry
[03:44] <Arafangion> revilodraw: Yes, see man mkfs.vfat, after installing the appropriate package.
[03:44] <jonathan__> anybody here?
[03:45] <vlt> Hello. I just upgraded from Ubuntu Edgy (which was a fresh install using upstart) to Feisty using aptitude. Now the system only boots to runlevel "unknown". I always have to login and run `telinit 3` (sic!) to start all the daemons and the dm. `telinit 2` results in `runlevel` => "unknown", too. There's no inittab file and no "single" or similar argument in /proc/cmdline. What is wrong here?
[03:45] <mudpuddlestones> dual heads, follow this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174
[03:45] <Arafangion> revilodraw: And use dmesg to determine which device you should be using, or just allow it to automount, and use /proc/mounts to see the device - then unmount it - you never format a mounted device.
[03:45] <jonathan__> anybody know?
[03:45] <jonathan__> to get sidebar for ubuntu?
[03:46] <revilodraw> arafangion: aaahhh ok
[03:46] <Arafangion> revilodraw: From memory, it's usually fat16, but I tend to use ext3 when I reformat them. ;)
[03:46] <fyrestrtr> kaveh: sudo aptitude install language-pack-gnome-fa language-pack-gnome-fa-base
[03:46] <jonathan__> huh
[03:46] <Djoerdy> thx mudpuddlestones but i followed the thread and was not able to finish it with success
[03:46] <Arafangion> revilodraw: At least, that's what I did with my 40gb "recycled" laptop HDD, put it into a usb enclosure :)
[03:46] <fyrestrtr> vlt: what tha heck is 'upstart'?
[03:46] <mudpuddlestones> Djoerdy, get that link?
[03:47] <mudpuddlestones> opps sorry
[03:47] <Djoerdy> yes
[03:47] <revilodraw> arafangion: its a mp3 player though so i think it will need to be fat32
[03:47] <Arafangion> fyrestrtr: Ubuntu's fancy replacement for the debian-style bootscripts.
[03:47] <mudpuddlestones> hmmm, what are the symptoms?
[03:47] <Arafangion> fyrestrtr: A good idea, for laptops, though.
[03:47] <Djoerdy> wrong or no monitor found on pipe b
[03:48] <Djoerdy> is the error message in the xorg0log
[03:48] <Djoerdy> and one monitor is working
[03:48] <fyrestrtr> oh yeah, I remember now. Supposedly they found a better way to do init scripts.
[03:48] <mudpuddlestones> desktop or laptop?
[03:48] <kaveh> fyrestrtr, thanks so much
[03:48] <Djoerdy> Thinkpad T43 with a Samsung extern
[03:48] <mudpuddlestones> hmm
[03:49] <Djoerdy> he recognisses the extern as a CRT but it isnt
[03:49] <Arafangion> *sigh*, windows is trying to convince me to upgrade my laptop.
[03:49] <redmondkiller> heyho :-)
[03:49] <Some_Person> how do i completely shut down and restart X?
[03:49] <fyrestrtr> kaveh: your welcome.
[03:49] <Djoerdy> i can say him what i want in the xorg conf its allways wrong
[03:49] <Arafangion> Visual Studio is a /pig/.
[03:49] <taxman> hello all, anyone know the reasoning why a new user added with adduser isn't added to the sound group by default?
[03:49] <mudpuddlestones> crt is ppe in this caseyort not monitor t
[03:50] <mudpuddlestones> opps
[03:50] <fyrestrtr> Some_Person: logout, then hit ctrl+alt+backspace
[03:50] <mudpuddlestones> port not monitor type
[03:50] <MindSpark> Some_Person, ctrl-alt-backspace
[03:50] <fyrestrtr> taxman: because you didn't add the user to the group :)
[03:50] <Arafangion> taxman: Because it isn't.  Most admins write their own adduser scripts.
[03:50] <hamzzzz> irc.phazenet.com
[03:50] <Some_Person> but that breaks my mouse pointer
[03:50] <revilodraw> k this is way too hard to format a usb device
[03:50] <Some_Person> on this live cd
[03:50] <Djoerdy> ok so it is right if i tell him as monitor layout "LFP, CRT" ?
[03:50] <fyrestrtr> revilodraw: install gparted
[03:50] <mudpuddlestones> yes
[03:50] <fyrestrtr> Djoerdy: does your laptop have ATI?
[03:51] <revilodraw> fystrtr: i have! it doesnt recognise the device
[03:51] <Arafangion> revilodraw: There's probably an easier way with ubuntu, but I'm old-school. :)
[03:51] <taxman> fyrestrtr: I understand that, my point is for the average family, they shouldn't have to research that type of thing to make their desktop work
[03:51] <Djoerdy> no fyrestrtr its an i810 card
[03:51] <mudpuddlestones> average family equals the Hills
[03:51] <mudpuddlestones> hank
[03:51] <mudpuddlestones> bobby
[03:51] <mudpuddlestones> peggy
[03:51] <fyrestrtr> taxman: raise it as an enchancement request in launchpad.
[03:51] <Arafangion> taxman: I find ubuntu to be heaps easier to install and use than windows.
[03:51] <Djoerdy> mudpuddlestones how important is the correct definition of the modes in the xorg
[03:52] <fyrestrtr> Djoerdy: the wrong definitions may render your monitor useless.
[03:52] <mudpuddlestones> pretty I think cause it tells xserver where to send output
[03:52] <taxman> Arafangion: I do to, this is just one area that needs improvement. Good idea fyrestrtr
[03:52] <Djoerdy> i did it after the monitor manual but i am not quite sure about this part
[03:52] <mudpuddlestones> but I'm no master, I just solved the problem the other day myself
[03:52] <Some_Person> how do i completely stop and restart X/GDM from command line?
[03:52] <revilodraw> thanks everyone goodnight
[03:52] <fyrestrtr> Some_Person: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart
[03:53] <Arafangion> taxman: A 'System' adduser menu entry would be rather nice, indeed.
[03:53] <faileas> Arafangion: its more that older windows was REALLY crappy, and linux runs happy on the same hardware ;)
[03:53] <mudpuddlestones> ctrl + alt + backspace
[03:53] <Arafangion> faileas: And that modern windows is /really/ expensive.
[03:53] <loswillios> hi
[03:53] <loswillios> I have a problem with nvidia-drivers
[03:53] <loswillios> ERROR: API mismatch: The nvidia kernel module has the version 1.0-7184 but this X module has the version 1.0-9631
[03:53] <Arafangion> faileas: windows + office is easily $1500, unless you get it with a computer.
[03:53] <faileas> Arafangion: http://tlug.jp/articles/Windows_Is_Free is quite a nice article, really ;)
[03:53] <mudpuddlestones> I'm looking at my xorg .conf right now
[03:54] <faileas> Arafangion: and no reason you shouldn't if you need it
[03:54] <faileas> or as i do, MSDNAA
[03:54] <Djoerdy> mine is open too ^^
[03:54] <Some_Person> no, how do i kill gdm/X and then be able to type gdm to restart it?
[03:54] <loswillios> I think nvidia-kernel-* is provided by linux-restricted-modules
[03:54] <Arafangion> faileas: I have a friend who's trying to get an OS for her computer, it's a 300MHz system, but she finding it unbelievably difficult to do so.
[03:54] <fyrestrtr> loswillios: this issue is documented in the wiki

[03:54] <mudpuddlestones> waht thu? look like for yois
[03:54] <fyrestrtr> mudpuddlestones: stop pasting in here.
[03:54] <Some_Person> !paste | mudpuddlestones
[03:54] <ubotu> mudpuddlestones: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[03:55] <Arafangion> faileas: She was not impressed when I told her that vista wouldn't work on it, just before she was about to buy it, luckly she told me what she was getting then!
[03:55] <taxman> fyrestrtr: it appears https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IdeaPool is a pretty easy way to add suggestions. Not sure if they get much attention vs launchpad or not
[03:55] <mudpuddlestones> it was an accident
[03:55] <mudpuddlestones> are you the monitor?
[03:55] <Arafangion> faileas: And it's impossible to get older versions as a typical consumer.
[03:55] <fyrestrtr> taxman: that's a new one for me @ IdeaPool.
[03:55] <loswillios> fyrestrtr: thanks. now I have to get X to work before to see the solution
[03:55] <Some_Person> how do i kill gdm/X and then be able to type gdm to restart it?
[03:55] <MindSpark> the only thing I am missing in linux is the firewire audio interface drivers
[03:55] <fyrestrtr> 16:52 < fyrestrtr> Some_Person: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart
[03:56] <SlimeyPe1e> Some_Person: "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop", then to start "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" ?
[03:56] <mudpuddlestones> fyrestrtr: are you the room monitor?
[03:56] <Some_Person> ok, slimeypele
[03:56] <faileas> Arafangion: funny, but i got most of my old windows... floppies ;p
[03:56] <Arafangion> taxman: Imho, the problem is not that we lack ideas, the problem is that of implementation and getting companies to agree on them.
[03:57] <fyrestrtr> loswillios: change 'nivida' to 'nv' in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and login, then read the wiki.
[03:57] <Arafangion> taxman: It's be SWEET if nvidia, ati, and xorg to agree on a common configuration framework to allow users to just 'open the display properties and modify the settings'.
[03:57] <paul___> Hello, I'm having a problem with my web forms after installing ubuntu server. I was wondering if I could talk to someone.
[03:57] <mudpuddlestones> ah one of those then: kma.
[03:58] <MindSpark> paul___, I am not sure IRC supports voice, but you can definitely type :P
[03:58] <paul___> righto :)
[03:58] <MindSpark> damn, I haven't slept enough and my jokes are becoming lamer with time
[03:58] <MindSpark> paul___, what forms ?
[03:58] <taxman> Arafangion: well unfortunately I lack coding skills, so the best thing I can do is help with suggestions to make the desktop experience better
[03:58] <paul___> the forms aren't talking to my campus mail server
[03:59] <Arafangion> taxman: I just lack time. :(
[03:59] <Arafangion> taxman: Writing a portable gaming framework that works on all OS's. :) (Using wine, though)
[03:59] <taxman> Arafangion: get hired by canonical, then go to work :)
[03:59] <Terrasque> Arafangion: opengl + sdl?
[04:00] <MindSpark> paul___, what forms ?
[04:00] <paul___> I was using Mandriva before I switched to Ubuntu and the forms were working fine.
[04:00] <Arafangion> Terrasque: It's got alot of legacy code, which is DirectX, but it's 2D, so shouldn't really be all that difficult to port, really.
[04:00] <fyrestrtr> paul___: why did you switch?
[04:00] <paul___> book order forms, askalibrarian forms, etc
[04:00] <Arafangion> Terrasque: But it works really well on wine, except for the networking code, for some reason.
[04:00] <Terrasque> ok
[04:00] <MindSpark> paul___, are we talking about web app form ?
[04:00] <mudpuddlestones> Djoerdy: is your xorg.conf backed up?
[04:01] <Arafangion> Terrasque: It's a uni project, gotta get the marks first. :)
[04:01] <paul___> I switched because when I went to update from Mandriva 2006 to 2007 the install crapped out
[04:01] <Djoerdy> yes it i
[04:01] <Djoerdy> s
[04:01] <fyrestrtr> paul___: is this a production machine or your own personal server?
[04:01] <paul___> yeah, they are web forms
[04:01] <paul___> a production machine for my library
[04:01] <Djoerdy> i fragged it so often i really needed this^^
[04:01] <Terrasque> Arafangion: of course, everything should be done with python and pygame :D
[04:01] <MindSpark> paul___, maybe you have a firewall installed that doesn't allow outgoing connections ?
[04:01] <Arafangion> paul___: Ubuntu and particularly Debian are better at that, but just remember that if you install /any/ third-party application, the upgrade will be less smooth, particularly as you install more and more third-party programs.
[04:02] <Arafangion> Terrasque: This is with Lua. :)
[04:02] <Terrasque> Arafangion: And cpus understood python natively. that would be my perfect world.
[04:02] <paul___> this is a pretty basic lamp installation of ubuntu server
[04:02] <Arafangion> Terrasque: Some guy's already partially made an OpenGL port, actually, so it's possible to do, anyway.
[04:02] <mudpuddlestones> did you try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
[04:02] <paul___> I installed Postfix also
[04:03] <paul___> but nothing else ...
[04:03] <Terrasque> Arafangion: never underestimate the power of some guy on the internet! :D
[04:03] <Djoerdy> i once did at the start of my attemps to run this system
[04:03] <paul___> It's ubuntu server 6.06
[04:03] <Arafangion> Terrasque: I don't think I could've easily done this with python...  Python's a PITA to embed, and I'm using multiple VM's simultaniously.
[04:03] <mudpuddlestones> try it again, I'm trying to trace back what I did
[04:03] <Arafangion> Terrasque: And it's alot slower than lua.
[04:04] <Lanf> paul, so if it's a lamp server your webforms are presumably php.  do the webforms have a php version requirement?  and if yes, does ubuntu 6 have that version or higher of php?
[04:04] <Terrasque> Arafangion: and alot sexier ;)
[04:04] <faileas> Lanf: major version requrements, and yes
[04:04] <paul___> Lanf: php is working. the site runs on PmWiki and it is php based
[04:05] <Djoerdy> ok
[04:05] <mudpuddlestones> after reconfig, try again one of the methods from : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174
[04:05] <Araen> AAAH, crotte, c'est en anglais
[04:05] <Arafangion> Terrasque: Well, there's a number of things I don't like about lua, incidentially.  The lua binding was also legacy code. :)
[04:05] <Lanf> paul: ok.  so what exactly is wrong with the webforms?
[04:05] <Djoerdy> you have a xinemara system?
[04:05] <Araen> bon, on va essayer de faire avec...
[04:05] <paul___> they don't send email any longer.
[04:05] <Terrasque> Arafangion: actually python can be pretty fast is you use psyco
[04:05] <Araen> hello all
[04:05] <compwiz18> does anyone know what port 2869 is used for?
[04:06] <Arafangion> Terrasque: Only on x86, but even then, I doubt it can beat hand-optimized C++ and Lua.

[04:06] <Araen> ok, so this is my problem ( i don't speak english, i'm french =/ )

[04:06] <marshcast> could anyone suggest the quickest way to find out the speed of my internet connection? I'm suffering with streaming and need to know if it's the pc or the connection...
[04:06] <Arafangion> Terrasque: I must head off to bed, g'night.
[04:06] <Araen> i installed windows on my computer and now i can't to boot on my ubuntu
[04:06] <marshcast> ^please :)
[04:06] <mudpuddlestones> and my config doesn't use the LFT, CRT method
[04:06] <Araen> why ?
[04:07] <Klln25> arean
[04:07] <paul___> what's an error log? :)
[04:07] <Terrasque> Arafangion: thats why we need hardware that can run python natively at blinding speed!
[04:07] <Klln25> hey arean
[04:07] <Terrasque> Arafangion: good night

[04:08] <edobbs> uptownben: probably xubuntu
[04:08] <jhemono> hello
[04:08] <paul___> lanf: sounds like a plan!
[04:08] <Lanf> paul: I'd look in /var/log/mail.* actually.
[04:08] <edobbs> install it, strip out the packages you know you don't need, it should work fine
[04:08] <edobbs> i've done the same sort of install, but on an old pii/300 box w/ 256MB
[04:08] <Araen> somewho ( ca se dit a ? ) speak french here ?
[04:08] <paul___> Lanf: ok, will do
[04:08] <cdavis> I am running dapper lts and cannot find the libmysql-dev package?
[04:09] <jhemono> i speak french
[04:09] <fyrestrtr> loswillios: how did you install the drivers?
[04:09] <Araen> youpi, very well ?
[04:09] <loswillios> fyrestrtr: somehow linux-restricted-modules fails to detect my card properly and uses an old on instead (= old drivers)
[04:09] <jhemono> yes
[04:09] <loswillios> fyrestrtr: via aptitude
[04:09] <fyrestrtr> loswillios: what card is it?
[04:09] <Araen> jhemono: peux tu m'aider pour mon problme ?? ^^
[04:09] <marshcast> no-one? no-one can tell me how to test my connection speed?
[04:09] <loswillios> fyrestrtr: nVidia Corporation NV20 [GeForce3 Ti 200]  (rev a3)
[04:10] <jhemono> tu devait aller sur #ubuntu-fr
[04:10] <Lanf> marshcast: you mean what your network is negotiated to?
[04:10] <loswillios> fyrestrtr: I was told to use the 96xx (=nvidia-glx)
[04:10] <Lanf> marshcast: /usr/sbin/ethtool eth0
[04:10] <Araen> jhemono: sur ce serveur ?
[04:10] <jhemono> oui
[04:10] <jhemono> j'y vai

[04:10] <uptownben> This is what I have, I tried PUPPYLINUX on this same machine and it was screaming! fast.light, but I want something more flexible where I can install an app and not break everything.
[04:11] <uptownben> When I installed XUBUNTU on the same machine (had to use alt ISO), it works but it seems sluggish, how can I clean it up?
[04:11] <uptownben> speed it up?
[04:11] <Lanf> marshcast: that's only what your NIC is negotiated to though.  there are any number of places between your NIC and wherever you're connecting to that can slow you down
[04:11] <edobbs> uptownben: figure out what apps you actually need (firefox, mail, whatever) and start removing packages that aren't used
[04:11] <milbona> irc://irc.7chan.org/7chan
[04:12] <edobbs> first thing - check and see what services are running w/ `ps ax`
[04:12] <daedra> help! I get an "error in locking authority file" when I try to ssh localhost -X
[04:12] <edobbs> if you don't need printing support, for example, you can go through and remove the print daemon packages
[04:12] <daedra> .Xauthority
[04:13] <edobbs> there's some things, like dbus/HAL, that pretty much have to stay if you want a working system
[04:13] <loswillios> fyrestrtr: should I try a manual install of the drivers?
[04:13] <uptownben> There is this REALLY long delay on startup also, where it says loading hardware drivers...
[04:13] <fyrestrtr> loswillios: yes.
[04:13] <paul___> Lanf: I see several msgs. cut and paste isn't working so I haveto type.
[04:13] <edobbs> but there's a lot of bits that can be removed if you don't care about a big glossy pretty system
[04:13] <fyrestrtr> use the steps for edgy
[04:13] <uptownben> steps for edgy?
[04:14] <loswillios> fyrestrtr: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual ?
[04:14] <uptownben> I'm going to boot into XUBUNTU now and try removing stuff.
[04:14] <paul___> Lanf: postfix [8987]  error: to submit mail, use the Postfix sendmail command
[04:14] <daedra> help! I get an "error in locking authority file" when I try to ssh localhost -X
[04:14] <loswillios> maybe I should try envy...
[04:14] <uptownben> brb
[04:15] <fyrestrtr> loswillios: no, don't try envy.
[04:15] <fyrestrtr> loswillios: try the manual steps
[04:15] <loswillios> oki then
[04:15] <paul___> Lanf: fatal: the postfix command is reserved for the superuser
[04:15] <bullgard4> man tty writes: "The full documentation for tty is maintained as a Texinfo  manual. If the info and tty programs are properly installed at your site, the command info tty should give you access to the complete manual." What program package do I have to install for info tty?
[04:16] <Lanf> paul: that sounds like the webform is trying to use a binary that it shouldn't for sending mail.  see whether you can find in the php code where it specifies what binary to use for emailing
[04:16] <marshcast> wicked - thanks Lanf ...
[04:16] <Lanf> marshcast: no problem :)
[04:17] <cdavis> I am running dapper lts and cannot find the libmysql-dev package?
[04:18] <paul___> Lanf: I believe PmWiki web forms use php?
[04:19] <Lanf> paul: it uses php classes to send mail?  it doesn't call an external program?
[04:19] <paul___> yes, I believe that's right
[04:19] <meoblast001> hello is it possible to get the large 600 MG image of Ubuntu to boot off Flash drive
[04:19] <meoblast001> ?
[04:20] <Lanf> paul: hmm, that makes it tougher.
[04:20] <dgjones> meoblast001, do you want to install using a usb flash driver?
[04:20] <meoblast001> dgjones: yes but i want to use the large image
[04:20] <tek586_> anyone here
[04:20] <Frogzoo_> cdavis: libmysql++-dev ?
[04:20] <tek586_> hello
[04:20] <kitche> !install | meoblast001
[04:20] <ubotu> meoblast001: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[04:21] <daedra> help! I get an "error in locking authority file" when I try to ssh localhost -X
[04:21] <eontastico> howdy people
[04:21] <paul___> Lanf: perhaps I should check PmWiki's irc...
[04:21] <kitche> meoblast001, the first link is probably waht you want
[04:21] <eontastico> I have Ubuntu 7.04 Server and some files are getting checksum errors after i copy them over to it
[04:21] <paul___> Lanf: thanks for your help.
[04:21] <eontastico> i tried all new hardware
[04:21] <eontastico> same thing
[04:21] <eontastico> is this a bug?  and if so can I fix it
[04:22] <meoblast001> kitche; ok this explains what i messed up on last time
[04:22] <meoblast001> thanx
[04:22] <uptownben> Can someone give me an example of something I could remove that is installed by default that could help me improve performance on my 256MB/4GB system?
[04:22] <wolferine> eontastico, how are you 'copying them over' ?
[04:22] <Lanf> paul: good luck
[04:22] <meoblast001> kitche: ill start downloading the image again (Wubi Ubuntu just crashed my computer when i hit the Shut Down button)
[04:22] <eontastico> wolferine: SMB, flash drive, ftp, doesnt matter --- actually i can even download a file from the web straight to teh box
[04:22] <vlt> Any idea how to fix problem with upstart and runlevel "unknown"?
[04:22] <eontastico> and it still corrupts
[04:23] <tek586_> Can anyone do a remote session and fix my stinking wifi
[04:23] <Some_Person> Hey, I figured out how to use the nVidia GLX driver on the live cd! Where should I post?
[04:23] <wolferine> eontastico, everything is going through your network card, and is becoming corrupt?
[04:23] <eontastico> wolferine: well i have transferred via flash drive
[04:23] <meoblast001> kitche: one more thing... can i put this on the disk from Fedora??
[04:23] <eontastico> and it still corrupts
[04:23] <daedra> tek586_: I can have a go at helping over IRC
[04:23] <eontastico> wolferine: i replaced the NIC too
[04:23] <daedra> I've setup wifi on a few linuxes
[04:24] <vic1ous> hey can anyone tell me why i have to reinstall my nvidia driver every time i reboot
[04:24] <Frogzoo_> vlt: what's the issue?
[04:24] <wolferine> eontastico, are the original files on a corrupt system?
[04:24] <daedra> help! I get an "error in locking authority file" when I try to ssh localhost -X
[04:24] <uptownben> I need to strip this ting down to make it lighter
[04:24] <uptownben> any ideas?
[04:24] <kitche> meoblast001, probably I never tried putting an iso on my usb flash to boot from
[04:24] <tek586_> daedra: Tell what I need to do
[04:24] <eontastico> wolferine: no, the original files pass md5sum on the original box
[04:24] <vlt> Hello Frogzoo_. I just upgraded from Ubuntu Edgy (which was a fresh install using upstart) to Feisty using aptitude. Now the system only boots to runlevel "unknown". I always have to login and run `telinit 3` (sic!) to start all the daemons and the dm. `telinit 2` results in `runlevel` => "unknown", too. There's no inittab file and no "single" or similar argument in /proc/cmdline. What is wrong here?
[04:24] <meoblast001> kitche: ok
[04:24] <adnan_> hi
[04:24] <vic1ous> hey can anyone tell me why i have to reinstall my nvidia driver every time i reboot
[04:24] <daedra> tek586_: well first what is your wifi chipset
[04:25] <wolferine> eontastico, you need to narrow your 'issue search' down more
[04:25] <daedra> tek586_: run iwconfig to see if the module is loaded for your wifi card. You should get a list saying eth0... wlan0...
[04:25] <eontastico> wolferine: meaning?
[04:25] <daedra> help! I get an "error in locking authority file" when I try to ssh localhost -X
[04:25] <tek586_> Not sure I have a Dell 1501, my wifi card is a 1390.
[04:25] <Frogzoo_> vlt: well firstly it will boot to runlevel 2 by default, & secondly there's no inittab because upstart uses /etc/event.d/
[04:25] <wolferine> eontastico, is it the hard drive your writing to?
[04:26] <daedra> tek586_: Ah so an intel chipset
[04:26] <wolferine> eontastico, what types of files, are they different file systems?
[04:26] <vlt> Frogzoo_: Yes. The missing inittab is not my problem, that was to help you analyze.
[04:26] <desertc> What was with the Vorbis security update today?  Someone make a "killer song" ??  ;)
[04:26] <cdavis> Frogzoo_, that package doesn't exist,  the only dev I have is libmysqlclient15-dev
[04:26] <wolferine> eontastico, is your checksum tool working properly
[04:26] <Frogzoo_> vlt: is your problem that you're not starting your demons from /etc/rc2.d/ ?
[04:26] <vlt> Frogzoo_: The runlevel after booting is now "unknown".
[04:27] <uptownben> Anyone know why there is a long delay when XUBUNTU boots up? When I look at the console (ALT-F8) during boot it just stops after Loading Hardware drivers... the nework comes up but ti still sits there for about 90 seconds.
[04:27] <daedra> help! I get an "error in locking authority file" when I try to ssh localhost -X
[04:27] <eontastico> wolferine: well, the files are readable on the first system if they past the checksum
[04:27] <tek586_> daedra: This what I am getting when I ran the iwconfig :Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.462 GHz  Access Point: Not-Associated
[04:27] <cdavis> how do I tell what package provides md5.h
[04:27] <daedra> tek586_: Ok im reading up about the Intel Pro Wireless Adapter
[04:27] <eontastico> wolferine: so i know the files are being corrupted on the second system
[04:27] <eontastico> i just dont know how
[04:28] <vlt> Frogzoo_: Yes, because the system doesn't enter 2 the daemons don't start. Even when I run `telinit 2` it stays in level "unknown". I need to run `telinit 3 `.
[04:28] <tek586_> My wifi light is lit though
[04:28] <wolferine> eontastico, well, read my previous posts...
[04:28] <vic1ous> hey can anyone tell me why i have to reinstall my nvidia driver every time i reboot
[04:28] <Lanf> daedra: check permissions and ownership on your .Xauthority file
[04:28] <daedra> tek586_: Ok your card IS supported (wohoo) you just need to associate yourself with your router
[04:28] <meoblast001> who knows how to format a disk to FAT16/
[04:28] <meoblast001> ?
[04:28] <Frogzoo_> vlt: from grub, disable splash & quiet, & see what's broken maybe
[04:28] <tek586_> How the heck do I that!!!!!!!!!
[04:28] <daedra> tek586_: ok... calm down
[04:28] <lmosher> After a fresh install, what's the preferred method to install Nvidia drivers? Is the latest (beta) still the best choice? I have a 7800Go
[04:29] <vlt> Frogzoo_: splash and quiet are already disables. No error msgs that I#d be aware of.
[04:29] <Frogzoo_> cdavis: apt-cache search libmysql
[04:29] <daedra> tek586_: I'm going to make a script for your wifi card
[04:29] <tek586_> ok thanks
[04:30] <incorrect> i am looking for a similar tool to visio to drag pretty diagrams, dia and xfig really aren't good enough
[04:30] <incorrect> any other suggestions?
[04:31] <MindSpark> incorrect, try inkscape, although it's not necessarily for diagrams
[04:31] <vlt> Frogzoo_: Is there a way to scroll up the boot messages? Are these lines logged somewhere?
[04:31] <wolferine> incorrect, use wine and setup office?
[04:31] <ntemis> hello
[04:31] <Lanf> frogzoo: dmesg
[04:32] <Frogzoo_> vlt: does /etc/inittab exist ?
[04:32] <PP188_> hi, my grub is returning: erro 22, how do i solve
[04:32] <MindSpark> what's the difference between var/log/messages and dmesg ?
[04:32] <ntemis> can i control ubuntu from a windows machine?
[04:32] <daedra> tek586_: ok run iwconfig again, and paste it into http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[04:32] <MindSpark> ntemis, of course you can
[04:32] <ntemis> remote desktop
[04:32] <incorrect> wolferine, i wanted to use something other than m$
[04:32] <taxman> anybody know why the Ubuntu wiki didn't go with Mediawiki. There's a huge pool of people that know Mediawiki markup and the documenttation Wiki lacks basic features like a discussion page
[04:32] <MindSpark> ntemis, using ssh or remote desktop or vnc
[04:32] <vlt> Frogzoo_: No, this is upstart.
[04:32] <Lanf> mindspark: dmesg is the boot messages.  /var/log/messages is the syslog
[04:33] <ntemis> how- what do i need?
[04:33] <Frogzoo_> vlt: but the file - does it exist?
[04:33] <wolferine> incorrect, i believe someone has made a suggestions already
[04:33] <Lanf> two different animals
[04:33] <daedra> Lanf: I've checked the permissions, .Xauthority belongs to me, my group, and is chmod 700
[04:33] <MindSpark> Lanf, and after boot, nothing is inserted into dmesg ?
[04:33] <_Lockee> I am having problems opening both avi files (XviD) and mpeg2 files in DeVeDe. It just hangs when I try to open such a file. Anyone who have had the same problem?
[04:33] <tek586_> into the text section?
[04:33] <Lanf> daedra hmm.  I've seen something about "stale" .Xauthority files.  try deleting it and ssh'ing again?
[04:33] <cdavis> what package provides md5.h ?
[04:33] <wmat> how can I install 32-bit libgtk2 on a 64bit Feisty system?
[04:34] <vlt> Frogzoo_: No, it doesn't. Nothing to grep for /etc/event.d/rc-default ;-)
[04:34] <daedra> Lanf: I'll make a backup first. Ok
[04:34] <incorrect> wolferine, inkscape is cool but more like corel draw
[04:34] <daedra> tek586_: yea
[04:34] <Lanf> mindspark some stuff is inserted in dmesg, (like when you plug in a thumbdrive and scsi mounts it)
[04:34] <wolferine> incorrect, and you can understand that you wont find something that works exactly like visio, correct?
[04:34] <MindSpark> Lanf, exactly, but when do I look in dmesg and when do I look in log messages ?
[04:34] <daedra> tek586_: then click Paste! and give me the link in the address bar
[04:34] <Lanf> but /var/log/messages will get stuff like "user X ssh'ed in" or that sort of thing.  programs can log to syslog (var/log/messages)
[04:35] <Blauhaut> What is xubuntu ?
[04:35] <web_knows> did the repositores were affected by the attack?
[04:35] <c0ldfus10n> here's a newb question: Is it possible to update to a new distribution (i.e. edgy to fiesty) without reloading the entire system?
[04:35] <dgjones> !xubuntu | Blauhaut
[04:35] <ubotu> Blauhaut: xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of Gnome. For more info, see http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop". | For support, see #xubuntu | See also: !ubuntu and !xubuntu-channels
[04:35] <faileas> web_knows: no, was just community pages
[04:35] <Lanf> so, look in dmesg when you think it's a low level log line you need.  something hardware related
[04:35] <Lanf> look in /var/log/messages if you think it's program related, like nfs or ssh
[04:35] <web_knows> faileas, thanks
[04:35] <web_knows> I am not confortable to update packages, etc
[04:36] <incorrect> wolferine, i am willing to accept i won't find an exact match, however i would have thought i could find a decent diagramming tool
[04:36] <vic1ous_> hey can anyone tell me why i have to reinstall my nvidia driver every time i reboot
[04:36] <faileas> web_knows: i doubt canonical would have left the up if they had been compromised
[04:36] <tek586_> Daedra:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/33924/
[04:36] <Blauhaut> !kubuntu

[04:36] <Dr_Link> Is Ubuntu XChat supposed to make my computer beeeeeep like that?
[04:36] <Lanf> vic1ous: do you only reboot to start a new kernel?
[04:36] <web_knows> faileas, good point
[04:36] <Dr_Link> I was randomly typing
[04:36] <Dr_Link> and out of nowhere
[04:36] <Dr_Link> "BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!"
[04:36] <wolferine> incorrect, the ones you listed are working tools, might not have all the bells and whistles you require
[04:37] <MindSpark> Lanf, ah, alright, so dmesg is mainly kernel oriented, eh ?
[04:37] <vic1ous_> Lanf, no just any reboot
[04:37] <Lanf> mindspark: yes
[04:37] <MindSpark> Lanf, thanks
[04:37] <Frogzoo_> vlt: diff rc2.d/ rc3.d    should give you a clue
[04:37] <daedra> tek586_: sorry you'll need to paste the whole thing - everything in your terminal from typing iwconfig
[04:37] <wolferine> incorrect, just stating 'arent really good enough', maybe suggest what your looking for exactly?
[04:37] <futureng> hi
[04:37] <tek586_> ok stand by
[04:37] <Blauhaut> is it posible to change ubuntu to kubuntu, with all configuration ?
[04:37] <futureng> help me for beryl
[04:37] <runlevelten> http://www.desktoplinux.com/cgi-bin/survey/survey.cgi?id=0813200712407
[04:37] <daedra> tek586_: I need to see the card chipset name, e.g. eth0, wlan0, ra1,
[04:37] <runlevelten> Oh god sorry, wrong channel.
[04:37] <Lanf> vic1ous: not sure then, but look in /etc/modules.conf and see if it's defined there
[04:38] <wolferine> futureng, #ubuntu-effects
[04:38] <c0ldfus10n> here's a newb question: Is it possible to update to a new distribution (i.e. edgy to fiesty) without reloading the entire system?
[04:38] <Lanf> oops, /etc/modules maybe?  (it's modules.conf in redhat)
[04:38] <GNine> i just received a vorbis update
[04:38] <tek586_> daedra:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/33927/
[04:38] <daedra> GNine: ME TOO
[04:38] <lmosher> Is there a repo containing debs for the latest nvidia drivers? The instructions on the compiz site suggest downloading from nvidia and building manually, but that requires manual update too. I remember a while ago getting drivers from albert someone.. is that still possible, or is there another source?
[04:38] <kitche> c0ldfus10n, yes gksu update-manager -C should do it
[04:39] <GNine> ok, just checking. didnt expect id see one this soon
[04:39] <daedra> tek586_: cool, your card name is eth1
[04:39] <c0ldfus10n> ahh thanks!
[04:39] <incorrect> wolferine, might not have all the goodies, but i just want something that has the basics, and doesn't hurt my eyes too much
[04:39] <wolferine> lol
[04:40] <vlt> Frogzoo_: diff /etc/rc[23] .d
[04:40] <vlt> Nur in /etc/rc2.d: S10powernowd.early.
[04:40] <daedra> tek586_: also I need to know if its WEP or WPA encryption on your router
[04:40] <lmosher> Anyone? Nvidia drivers? I can't be the only nvidia user online right now...
[04:40] <vlt> Nur in /etc/rc2.d: S99stop-readahead.
[04:40] <Lanf> incorrect: visio is a pretty good product.  can you run it through wine?
[04:40] <incorrect> wolferine, i would bet beer that there is something out there
[04:40] <tek586_> WEP
[04:40] <incorrect> Lanf, i don't have the product
[04:40] <vlt> Frogzoo_: That's onyl two different symlinks
[04:41] <GNine> ubuntu should have a program like windows Restore
[04:41] <Lanf> incorrect: aaaah okay.  hrm.  you're right, there's probably SOMETHING out there that'll do...
[04:41] <daedra> tek586_: ok
[04:41] <vlt> Frogzoo_: Why does it say it is in runlevel "unknown"?
[04:41] <Lanf> incorrect: of course, trouble is always FINDING it :P
[04:41] <Frogzoo_> vlt: put readahead back in
[04:41] <vic1ous__> sorry internet went dead
[04:41] <vic1ous__> so what am i looking for in here
[04:41] <c0ldfus10n> kitche have you noticed any trouble using gksu update-manager -C ?
[04:42] <incorrect> there are over 20000 packages in ubuntu :) one must do what i want
[04:42] <Lanf> vic1ous: well, modules has a listing of all kernel modules to be loaded at boot time
[04:42] <loswillios> fyrestrtr: whenever I want to modprobe -v nvidia it says: install /sbin/lrm-video nvidia: FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia
[04:42] <vlt> Frogzoo_: back where?
[04:42] <Lanf> vic1ous: I'm not sure what nvidia's kernel module is called.  but it should be in /etc/modules if you want it to start on boot
[04:42] <daedra> tek586_: here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/33932/
[04:43] <daedra> paste that into a gedit text document, save as eth1.sh
[04:43] <Lanf> vic1ous: the module is probably called "nvidia"
[04:43] <Frogzoo_> vlt: sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/stop-readahead /etc/rc2.d
[04:43] <daedra> tek586_: paste that into a gedit text document, save as eth1.sh
[04:43] <Frogzoo_> vlt: ooops - no
[04:43] <Lanf> vic1ous: try modprobe nvidia, see if that sets you up.  if it does, add nvidia to /etc/modules if it isn't already there
[04:43] <Frogzoo_> vlt: sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/stop-readahead /etc/rc2.d/S99stop-readahead
[04:44] <Frogzoo_> vlt: cross your fingers & reboot
[04:44] <GNine> my nvidia card is working fine after glx package install.
[04:44] <lmosher> Is there a repo containing debs for the latest nvidia drivers?

I remember a while ago getting drivers from albert someone.. is that still possible, or is there another source?
[04:44] <loswillios> GNine: which driver?
[04:44] <mattie> hello everyone
[04:44] <sacater> hi mattie
[04:45] <futureng> i runed "berly-manager" and choose window manager "xgal" but my screen is freeze. what can i do?
[04:45] <daedra> Lanf: deleting .Xauthority worked :) now ssh localhost -X works
[04:45] <daedra> thankz
[04:45] <IrishDave> hey, does anyone know of a package that will give me either a gnome applet or a systray icon which will notify me of new email in evolution??
[04:45] <slingintacos> lmosher: did you sudo apt-get install restricted drivers?
[04:45] <Lanf> daedra: rock on :)
[04:45] <tek586_> daedra: set is an invalid command
[04:45] <c0ldfus10n> hey kitche - have you used that upgrade command before?
[04:45] <loswillios> GNine: I have problems with 9631 :/ always wants to load 77xx or something
[04:45] <GNine> i used sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx then sudo nvidia-glx-config enble , in that order
[04:45] <slingintacos> lmosher: i mean, sudo apt-get install restricted-drivers
[04:46] <Lanf> irishdave: I never found one, I wanted it too.  I changed over to thunderbird2 which works a lot better for me
[04:46] <kitche> c0ldfus10n, well I did logn time ago when I use ubuntu
[04:46] <oranye> eska
[04:46] <daedra> tek586_: sudo iwpriv eth2 set blahblah should work!
[04:46] <GNine> but i also had to make sure it was reading the right pci address for device (card)
[04:46] <Lanf> irishdave, you could install kbiff I guess if you need to stick with evolution
[04:46] <lmosher> slingintacos, Not yet.. maybe the beta drivers are in the main repos now? I just remember when I set my system up before I had to install another repo (albert something) to get the latest ones
[04:46] <flow> I'm having trouble with connecting to the MTA via localhost, from remote no problem ... any ideas?!
[04:46] <nonanta> my ubuntu server doesn't shut down completely. it's an old computer which doesn't support acpi so i have added "acpi=off apm=on" to /boot/grub/menu.lst but still my server doesn't halt
[04:46] <daedra> tek586_: it works in a default ubuntu 7.04 install
[04:46] <Lappy> !fnfxd
[04:46] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fnfxd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:46] <c0ldfus10n> did it cause any problems, or was it a smooth operation? I am using ubuntu for an enterprise solution and I can't afford any screw ups...
[04:46] <steinerhippo> yes, i also had to enter the right pci address into xorg.conf
[04:46] <gilster> helllo
[04:46] <Lappy> !fnfx
[04:46] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fnfx - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:46] <IrishDave> Lanf: I need the exchange functionality that evolution provides, I cant get thunderbird to do exchange properly for me, only by pop3 or IMAP
[04:47] <PC-Ente> hi
[04:47] <gilster> is anyone experiencing issues with skype today?
[04:47] <daedra> tek586_: make sure you save all those lines into a text file "eth1.sh" and chmod that file to 700
[04:47] <vlt> Frogzoo_: Erm, the symlink does already exist in rc2.
[04:47] <Lappy> anyway got the fn keys to work on a Sony vaio?
[04:47] <Lanf> irishdave: ahh, too bad.  yeah and kbiff only really works for pop/imap
[04:47] <Casperin> I'm trying to install GDM themes on my Ubuntu from gnome-look.org - But it keeps telling me the file format is invalid.. What am I doing wrong?
[04:47] <loswillios> GNine: funny, that didn't work for me :/
[04:47] <Lanf> irishdave: so I don't have any really good answer.  I never found a decent plugin for a systray icon
[04:47] <slingintacos> lmosher: i set mine up again a month ago, and ran that command, my nvidia works fine now
[04:47] <loswillios> GNine: ERROR: API mismatch: The nvidia kernel module has the version 1.0-7184 but this X module has the version 1.0-9631
[04:48] <meoblast001> how do i mount something from gnome? the terminal is reporting errors in my entry
[04:48] <tek586_> daedra:  Invalid command : set
[04:48] <nonanta> !acpi
[04:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about acpi - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:48] <Lappy> anyone got the fn keys to work on a Sony vaio?
[04:48] <tek586_> Sorry
[04:48] <lmosher> slingintacos: Cool thanks, I'll just try that :)
[04:48] <TBotNik_u> All: Trying to finish server install.  Noob!! Do not know how to status where I'm at and what I need to finish.  HOWTO?
[04:48] <slingintacos> lmosher: you also have to enable then in system>administration>restricted drivers manager
[04:48] <daedra> tek586_: ok I'll modify the script
[04:48] <daedra> tek586_: unfortunately it work for me
[04:48] <gilster> i am having problems getting skype to load up....can anyone help
[04:48] <tek586_> daedra: Thanks
[04:49] <IrishDave> Lanf: thanks for trying anyway, I did see some people using xfce that had something which seemed to be an applet on the application bar that informed of new mail?
[04:49] <nonanta> my ubuntu server doesn't shut down completely. it's an old computer which doesn't support acpi so i have added "acpi=off apm=on" to /boot/grub/menu.lst but still my server doesn't halt.can somebody help me?
[04:49] <lmosher> slingintacos: heh upon clicking 'enable' it immediately downloaded nvidia-glx (not nvidia-glx-new). What do I do to make sure it's using nvidia-glx-new?
[04:49] <wolferine> gilster, did you try it from command line?
[04:49] <Lanf> irishdave: not familiar with that one.  it's worth checking into it
[04:49] <GNine> sorry, willios.. am not a pro here.. that was my best bet
[04:50] <flow> running "telnet localhost 25" doesn't give me a connection, but from a remote hosts no problem ... the firewall is also reporting localhost connections as "ACCEPT" ... what's up? googling didn't help
[04:50] <Casperin> I'm trying to install GDM themes on my Ubuntu from gnome-look.org - But it keeps telling me the file format is invalid.. What am I doing wrong?
[04:50] <gilster> wolferine: trying now
[04:50] <IrishDave> ill let you know if i find anything
[04:50] <Lanf> irishdave you could maybe write a popup or something and when new messages come in to evo you can have it run the popup script.
[04:50] <wolferine> gilster, please be advised, use pastebin for errors
[04:50] <Falstius> nonanta: try apm=force
[04:50] <mushroomjay> Could someone give me a link to a tutorial on how to install Java?
[04:50] <TBotNik_u> All: Trying to finish server install.  Noob!! Do not know how to status where I'm at and what I need to finish.  HOWTO?
[04:50] <act1v8> How can I create a Soft AP that uses a wired ethernet for internet access, and a Broadcom Wireless card
[04:50] <vlt> Frogzoo_: I tried `dpkg-reconfigure -plow upstart` but nothing happened. Any other idea?
[04:50] <Frogzoo_> vlt: so "diff -r /etc/rc{2,3}.d/"  ? is what - S10powernowd.early ?
[04:50] <IrishDave> yeah that would work
[04:51] <IrishDave> thanks Lanf
[04:51] <slingintacos> lmosher: here's a link to a deb package http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/misc/nvidia-glx-new
[04:51] <Lanf> irish: good luck
[04:51] <nonanta> falstius: ok i will try that
[04:51] <Frogzoo_> Lappy: function keys should work, acpi methods might be broken
[04:51] <erika14212> ok i i ask for ubuntu cd through the new york team forum
[04:51] <erika14212> hopefully i will hear something
[04:51] <Lappy> Frogzoo_, then what do I do?
[04:51] <c0ldfus10n> one other thing, what is the command to see all available commands on a linux system?
[04:51] <lmosher> slingintacos: Well it downloaded it fine, the issue is when I enabled the nvidia driver in the restricted section, it automatically downloaded nvidia-glx... so I'm wondering how do I tell it to use nvidia-glx-new not nvidia-glx?
[04:52] <erika14212> if not ill reask in a week
[04:52] <vlt> Frogzoo_: "S10powernowd.early" and "S99stop-readahead" are in rc2.d/ only.
[04:52] <lmosher> c0ldfus10n, I would suggest a "linux guide", because that list would be very, very long. You can use 'apropos' to search the descriptions of commands to find something your looking for...
[04:52] <erika14212> surely there is someone in buffalo new york
[04:53] <RapJunkie> hello all
[04:53] <nonanta> Falstius: must i add only "acpi=off apm=force" or anything else also?
[04:53] <slingintacos> lmosher: do you need any other restricted drivers besides the nvidia one?
[04:53] <lmosher> slingintacos: yeah...
[04:53] <act1v8> How can I create a Soft AP with a wireless card that uses the bcm43xx driver
[04:53] <c0ldfus10n> lmosher, thanks - I usually use the internet but I was hoping for a local summary.  I'll try that apropos -- thanks!
[04:53] <erika14212> where ican get one ubuntu cd
[04:53] <wolferine> erika14212, you can download it
[04:53] <erika14212> no burner
[04:54] <flow> any help on MTA@localhost ?!?
[04:54] <Lappy> Frogzoo_, when I type acpi_available it doesn't show me anything, does that mean that acpi isn't correctly installed?
[04:54] <wolferine> erika14212, i believe you can mail order CDs for free
[04:54] <erika14212> so ill repost another message
[04:54] <muszek> erika14212: free (but in a month or two) or at a cost (small)?
[04:54] <wolferine> erika14212, check the ubuntu website
[04:54] <erika14212> in 6weeks
[04:54] <erika14212> s in mean time
[04:54] <slingintacos> lmosher: I'm at a dead end, I dont' have restricted drivers on my work machine, so I can't look through my restricted drivers manager here. sorry
[04:54] <TBotNik_u> Well if know one want to help with my server can I at least get help getting sound up so I here the "dings" here on chat, when someone writes to me?
[04:54] <Frogzoo_> Lappy: I just know what I read in /etc/acpi/sonybright.sh
[04:54] <erika14212> ill reask on team new york
[04:55] <erika14212> page

[04:55] <muszek> erika14212: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/purchase (for cash), https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ (free)
[04:55] <daedra> tek586_: I know the problem
[04:55] <erika14212> already posy one message
[04:55] <TBotNik_u> Sorry for typo: Well if no one want to help with my server, can I at least get help getting sound up so I here the "dings" here on chat, when someone writes to me?
[04:55] <jetscreamer> a server with x, sound, and chat
[04:55] <jetscreamer> hmmm
[04:55] <act1v8> Lanf: I need to create a Soft AP with a wireless card that uses the bcm43xx driver
[04:55] <daedra> tek586_: did you fill in the ROUTERNAMEHERE YOURKEYHERE?
[04:56] <tek586_> daedra:  What?
[04:56] <Frogzoo_> vlt: well mv them to K### and it should work, then figure out which one's causing problems
[04:56] <tek586_> yes
[04:56] <Lanf> act1v8: I have no idea how to help with that, sorry :(
[04:56] <erika14212> i repost a request  on there
[04:56] <tek586_> not the key part though
[04:56] <daedra> tek586_: in the pastebin text I sent you were blanks
[04:56] <act1v8> Lanf: :)
[04:56] <dfgas> ok, my time is set to utc, how do i change that
[04:56] <erika14212> every day
[04:56] <Lappy> spicctrl -a or wahtever other command I use, give ma 0s
[04:56] <flow> dfgas: don't UTC is perfect, set "timezone"
[04:56] <scratchme> Hi all.
[04:56] <daedra> tek586_: oh... see if iwconfig output has changed then
[04:56] <erika14212> i already tried the unsupported methods
[04:56] <ftoo_on_gutsy_> Tbotn1k_u use google or goto howtoforge there are goot guides there
[04:56] <tek586_> ok
[04:57] <erika14212> wubi  lubi
[04:57] <slingintacos> dfgas: right click date in top right and select preferences
[04:57] <flow> any help on MTA@localhost would be appreciated
[04:57] <dfgas> flow, no, cause when i go into windows it shows my time as 5 or so hours ahead
[04:57] <muszek> erika14212: don't repost on shipit... it really takes some time (like a month or two)
[04:57] <scratchme> Has anyone used the pdfedit?  If so, how do you edit a text node/object on the page?  I can get it to select it, or add a new one, but I'd ljke to simply edit existing ones.  The document is editable in Windows using Foxit Editor.
[04:57] <flow> oh. dfgas double-booting is a trouble there, yeah ... mmmh. dunno about disabling it
[04:57] <tek586_> doesn't look that way
[04:57] <erika14212> i have posted a bug report
[04:57] <Pici> erika14212: You can try asking in #ubuntu-ny if you are really desparate.
[04:57] <flow> should've been asked at install time (with hint @double-boot problem), dfgas
[04:57] <dfgas> flow, heh, quad boot
[04:58] <erika14212> on team new york
[04:58] <erika14212> site
[04:58] <flow> dfgas: whatever
[04:58] <wmat> in answer to my own question earlier, one can install 32-bit libs on a 64-bit install with the ia32-* packages. The FAQ suggests a chroot environment, but that's not really necessary in all cases.
[04:58] <flow> dfgas: dpkg-reconfigure should be your friend
[04:58] <dfgas> flow, heh, yah, 2 oses are fine, but the 2 windows ones are weird
[04:58] <flow> but don't ask me which package it is
[04:58] <daedra> tek586_: when you run the script does it ask for you passwd?
[04:59] <erika14212> thas what the bug reporting site is for
[04:59] <tek586_> yes
[04:59] <daedra> tek586_: and did you type chmod 700 eth1.sh first?
[04:59] <tek586_> no
[04:59] <daedra> ah - do that
[05:00] <uforar> genii: thanks alot for the help, ive got it working quite nicely now
[05:00] <tek586_> Can you email me the details I have to get going?
[05:00] <erika14212> my hard drive is already screwed up\
[05:00] <scratchme> What's an easy way to visual make small text edits to PDF files in Ubuntu?
[05:00] <daedra> um ok
[05:00] <daedra> lol
[05:00] <scratchme> visually even
[05:00] <genii> uforar: :) Glad to hear
[05:00] <daedra> just /msg me it
[05:01] <Frogzoo_> dfgas: try 'hwclock -w --localtime'
[05:01] <vlt> Frogzoo_: Hmmm, I think all the daemons from rc2.d/ would be started if the system entered runlevel 2. But it doesn't. Even after `telinit 2` it says "unknown". Just to be sure: I'll mv S10powernowd.early and S99stop-readahead to K10... and K99..., right?
[05:01] <erika14212> trying these not supported install method
[05:01] <Frogzoo_> dfgas: try 'sudo hwclock -w --localtime'
[05:01] <tek586_> Did you get it?
[05:01] <anandanbu> How to open the /usr and other dir's in nautilus in ubuntu 7.04
[05:01] <erika14212> i feel as though

[05:02] <kaveh> hi all
[05:02] <meoblast001> any USB users here????
[05:03] <kaveh> some one plz help me ->http://rafb.net/p/r104fC69.html
[05:03] <meoblast001> USB installers/
[05:03] <Frogzoo_> vlt: yeah, I think the issue is rcS still has processes running and so it's not moving on to start rc2
[05:03] <eontastico> so i did an apt-get update for my kernel image, and now my system does not boot
[05:03] <eontastico> i tried running grub-install, still wont boot
[05:03] <eontastico> wtf
[05:04] <meoblast001> im using USB installer and when i put the USB in and booted Syslinux asked where the kernel image is..... what would i type in for feisty fawn?
[05:04] <kaveh> any one
[05:04] <effie_jayx> eontastico,  is your grub broken?
[05:04] <eontastico> may be --- i did a grub-install and it still doesnt work
[05:05] <effie_jayx> eontastico,  but your grub displays all possible bootable entries?
[05:05] <eontastico> yeah
[05:05] <eontastico> looks that way
[05:05] <meoblast001> i thought i found it but the kernel is panicing
[05:05] <effie_jayx> eontastico,  can you boot anyother kernels that is not the one you just install
[05:06] <bullgard4> How can I transform a file in pdf, bib, trx or xhtml format into the CSV format?
[05:06] <vlt> Frogzoo_: But `telinit 3` is successfull. Can I log the boot ouput somewhere?
[05:07] <lmosher> Why isn't ubuntu automatically mounting my USB stick? It's there on /dev/sdb, but normally it automatically puts it on the desktop... etc?
[05:07] <Frogzoo_> vlt: if you make rc2.d the same as rc3.d you should boot to rl 2, worth a try
[05:07] <koan> gvim is not indenting code as well as highlighting code ??
[05:07] <koan> any ideas ?
[05:08] <eontastico> effie_jayx: the problem is that it doesnt even bring up my boot list
[05:08] <eontastico> effie_jayx: it just sits like the master boot record isnt there
[05:08] <vlt> Frogzoo_: I'll try.
[05:08] <effie_jayx> ok
[05:09] <koan> gvim is not indenting code and not highlighting code ??, What should i do ?
[05:09] <ftoo_on_gutsy_> lmosher i believe you need to add an entry to your /etc/fstab ....... but i'm sure someone will correct me if i'm wrong..
[05:09] <effie_jayx> eontastico,  if nothing boots then try a live cd and from there mount your partition
[05:09] <david003> hello. i need to place a trash on my desktop, how do i do it?
[05:09] <koan> neither do i see any colors
[05:10] <boghog> what does it mean if I get a "CTCP AVATAR" form someone?
[05:10] <francois> hi, I have a usb drive that doesn't automount, so I mount it manually and then sudo chmod 777 -c -R /folder and I still can't access anything, any help ?
[05:10] <koan> cream on the other hand shows highlighting but it too does not indent code
[05:10] <Whitman> cream doesn't indent code?
[05:10] <GuHhH> !ipw3945
[05:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ipw3945 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:10] <koan> and synaptic package manager hangs when i try to search for anything ?
[05:10] <eontastico> effie_jayx: that's where i'm at now, i tried to reinstall grub to the drive using the livecd and terminal
[05:11] <lmosher> ftoo_on_gutsy_, no you don't normally put removable media in the fstab. i figured it out.. I wan't running gdm, which does that stuff. I had the wrong headers so my x session didn't start and I started it w/ startx instead of GDM :)
[05:11] <GuHhH> !ipw3945d
[05:11] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ipw3945d - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:11] <scratchme> For anyone interested, I figured out how it works.  If you select a text object, a box appears in the toolbar with the text contents.  You can change the text there, but not inline.  This still works though.
[05:11] <mrmonday> is there a CLI app that will pick a random line of output from a command, then print it?
[05:11] <scratchme> (this is using pdfedit)
[05:11] <koan> Whitman : oh okay, but gvim does but, its not indenting
[05:11] <effie_jayx> eontastico,  did you mount your partition
[05:11] <Whitman> that wasn't me saying it didn't, it was a question.  cream indents fine here
[05:11] <ftoo_on_gutsy_> lmosher glad to know u have it sorted
[05:11] <koan> oh lol
[05:12] <koan> yeah, cream is not indenting neither is gvim
[05:12] <Whitman> wierd
[05:12] <koan> any solutions ?
[05:12] <kaveh> some one plz help me -->http://rafb.net/p/O1PuC113.html
[05:12] <eontastico> effie_jayx: yeah i mounted the partition and then did a chroot to it, then tried grub-install /dev/sde
[05:12] <directLink> If I use "Move to trash" with a LiveCD, how can I then delete the files completely afterwards?
[05:12] <eontastico> it said it went successfully
[05:12] <eontastico> but it didnt
[05:12] <kaveh> i dont know what is ging on
[05:12] <effie_jayx> eontastico, try running grub
[05:12] <effie_jayx> eontastico, jut type grub
[05:12] <koan> Should i uninstall it and then install it again ? :p
[05:13] <gcostello> koan: what type of files are you editing?
[05:13] <francois> directLink: you can hold shift + del and permanently delete them
[05:13] <GuHhH> how do i install and configure ipw3945d?
[05:13] <koan> .c
[05:13] <koan> and .pl
[05:13] <koan> doesn't work on any
[05:14] <kaveh> any one?
[05:14] <dooglus> GuHhH: I don't think it needs any configuring - just install it with synaptic
[05:14] <gcostello> koan: try "set autoindent on" in your .vimrc
[05:14] <directLink> francois: problem is, I rebooted to my system, and now they are gone, but they still occupy disk space...
[05:15] <dooglus> GuHhH: it doesn't work particularly well, at least not for me, but it's OK if you don't mind the constant disconnections
[05:15] <GuHhH> dooglus: i will need the ieee80211
[05:15] <koan> okay gcostello
[05:15] <effie_jayx> eontastico,  are you in gurb yet
[05:15] <PaN|Eidolon> Feierabend, bis denn
[05:15] <kaveh> no one?
[05:15] <francois> directLink: did you check the folder that they are kept in ? the trash folder ?
[05:15] <GuHhH> dooglus: im using it right now
[05:15] <koan> wait, gcostello : where do i find .vimrc
[05:15] <GuHhH> dooglus: but i want to help a friend to make it run
[05:15] <kaveh> http://rafb.net/p/O1PuC113.html
[05:15] <Penguinsaremyfri> I have a little problem, my computer cannot attain an ip address at college, yet my friends can. Both running ubuntu

[05:16] <directLink> francois: seems like that's the thing I'm looking for. Where is it?
[05:16] <BarMan> what is the root password on knoppix ?
[05:16] <effie_jayx> eontastico,  do you now you partition number?
[05:16] <gcostello> koan: should be in your home directory, if not, try "cat /etc/vim/vimrc > ~/.vimrc" and then edit that file
[05:16] <dooglus> BarMan: toor?
[05:16] <kitche> BarMan, ask #knoppix they will know :)
[05:16] <gcostello> koan: you should also put "syntax on" in .vimrc
[05:16] <effie_jayx> eontastico,  let me know if you have any other issues
[05:16] <BarMan> kitche,  noone is active
[05:17] <BarMan> dooglus,  no its not that one
[05:17] <Frogzoo_> dfgas: did you try 'hwclock -w --localtime' ?
[05:17] <gcostello> koan: you could have a look at my .vimrc here: http://www.gavincostello.com/vimrc.php
[05:17] <GuHhH> im having a i/o error when trying to download musics from my mp3 player, anyone guess why?
[05:17] <Penguinsaremyfri> I have a little problem, my computer cannot attain an ip address at college, yet my friends can. Both running ubuntu
[05:18] <dooglus> GuHhH: on every file?  or just at random?
[05:18] <francois> directLink: ok gimme a sec,
[05:18] <Frogzoo_> Penguinsaremyfri: compare your /etc/network/interfaces
[05:18] <dfgas> frogzoo_ yah, the problem wasn'tin ubuntu, so now i am trying to change it in the os that i am in now
[05:18] <slingintacos> Penguinsaremyfri: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[05:19] <Frogzoo_> dfgas: windows saves time in localtime only
[05:19] <Penguinsaremyfri> thanks, I will try that
[05:19] <GuHhH> dooglus: every
[05:19] <eontastico> effie_jayx: it keeps saying the device has no corresponding BIOS drive
[05:19] <eontastico> effie_jayx:  no matter what device i specify

[05:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about trash - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:20] <mrmonday> is there a CLI app that will pick a random line of output from a command, then print it?
[05:20] <gilster> ok update on my skype problem. It is actually a skype server issue....thanks
[05:21] <slingintacos> Penguinsaremyfri: did it work?
[05:21] <Penguinsaremyfri> the sudo....netowrking restart did not access eth1, and that is what my wireless is
[05:21] <jetscreamer> does it boot if you use the old kernel
[05:21] <jetscreamer> eontastico:
[05:21] <attunix> You know that little drum sound at the login screen? How do I change that?
[05:21] <Penguinsaremyfri> I am not at school right now, but could not get help when there
[05:21] <slingintacos> did you spell it right?
[05:21] <francois> directLink: here : ~/.local/share/trash/files/
[05:22] <francois> directLink: that took me an abnormally long time to find out
[05:22] <koan> Thanks gcostello, that worked :)
[05:22] <koan> Thank you very much
[05:22] <directLink> francois: ok, thanks :)
[05:22] <francois> hi, I have a usb drive that doesn't automount, so I mount it manually and then sudo chmod 777 -c -R /folder and I still can't access anything, any help ?
[05:22] <eontastico> jetscreamer: its not even getting to the splash screen to choose which kernel
[05:22] <praet> mrmonday: a bash script could probably do that
[05:23] <mrmonday> praet, I don't know any bash...
[05:23] <GuHhH> dooglus: now i cant umount it, it says "device is busy"
[05:23] <kaveh> any one sees eme?
[05:24] <slingintacos> mrmonday: whatdya mean you don't know any bash? bash is how you do most everything
[05:24] <praet> mrmonday: well what exactly are you trying to do, print a random line out of a file? like a list of random quotes?
[05:24] <kaveh> ?
[05:24] <CoasterMaster> I've got a couple programs installed in my home folder (i.e. I download them as an archive and they are stand alone programs that you extract and run).  Is there a better place for them?
[05:24] <francois> CoasterMaster: your /bin/ folder
[05:24] <francois> CoasterMaster: your system will find them there automatically and you can execute them from anywhere
[05:25] <kaveh> <--------------any body sees me
[05:25] <attunix> How do I change the sound that plays at the login screen?
[05:25] <jetscreamer> eontastico: got a grub floppy or a cd that uses grub? and there's a rescue option on the ubuntu cd isn't there
[05:25] <Pici> kaveh: yes
[05:25] <kitche> CoasterMaster, /usr/local/bin/ actually
[05:25] <jetscreamer> eontastico: how many ide controllers
[05:25] <CoasterMaster> francois: so just move the folder there and everything will be taken care of?
[05:25] <directLink> francois: hmm, just a little problem... the home directory was what I moved to trash :S and the backup I took doesn't have a trash folder...
[05:25] <CoasterMaster> kitche: so just move the folder there?
[05:25] <mrmonday> praet, I want to run the command 'calendar', but have it only give one line
[05:25] <_jason> attunix: system -> administration -> login window
[05:25] <attunix> kaveh: what's your language?
[05:25] <francois> kitche: to that folder that kitche said, i forgot the first part, haha
[05:25] <mrmonday> praet, and I can't find an operator for that
[05:25] <attunix> _jason: thanks :)
[05:25] <praet> kaveh: i looked at your post but have no idea how to fix that corruption
[05:25] <CoasterMaster> so use /usr/local/bin?
[05:26] <mrmonday> praet, *switch
[05:26] <francois> CoasterMaster: yes, sry
[05:26] <kaveh> attunix, can u see http://rafb.net/p/O1PuC113.html
[05:26] <m11> .
[05:26] <slingintacos> attunix: system>preferences>sound
[05:26] <kaveh> attunix, i get this error
[05:26] <francois> directLink: ok, so you deleted your OWN home folder ? :S
[05:26] <slingintacos> attunix: u need .wav filez
[05:26] <kaveh> praet, thanks alot
[05:26] <CoasterMaster> francois: is there any way to copy things in natilus as root? or do I have to use the command line?
[05:27] <Pici> kaveh: Can you try doing `sudo apt-cache clean` then whatever command you are trying to do.
[05:27] <GuHhH> hello, im having a problem trying to umount a device, it says its busy. i tried -f to force umount, but the problem persists. what can be done?
[05:27] <francois> CoasterMaster: command line, besides its always safer
[05:27] <CoasterMaster> francois: ok, thanks
[05:27] <kaveh> Pici, thanks so muc
[05:27] <elmar> has anyone got audigy4 running on ubuntu?
[05:28] <directLink> francois: using a liveCD yes, as I said in the initial message. It was to move my home directory to another partition...
[05:28] <jrib> GuHhH: you have to close any program that is accessing it
[05:28] <kaveh> Pici, E: Invalid operation clean
[05:28] <Pici> kaveh: hold on..
[05:29] <kaveh> Pici, ok
[05:29] <Pici> kaveh: Sorry, its apt-get clean
[05:29] <jrib> kaveh, Pici: apt-get instead of apt-cache
[05:29] <francois> directLink: from the live cd i don't know where the deleted files would go, other than maybe permanently deleted....did you copy your home folder at all ? or deleted it by accident ?
[05:29] <kaveh> thanks alot guys
[05:29] <Johto> HELP, for some reason i dont have any picture in VLC when trying to watch Apple's keynote stream, i can only hear audio, should i have video too? :I
[05:29] <directLink> francois: I copied it first...
[05:30] <Pici> jrib: logically you would think it was apt-cache, but meh.
[05:30] <Johto> its mpeg4 ..weird why it doesnt show
[05:30] <elmar> guy.. does anyone know how i can have my speakers and headphones work at the same time with audigy4?
[05:30] <francois> directLink: can you copy that one over again ?
[05:30] <francois> directLink: maybe explain a little more to me
[05:30] <kaveh> The following packages will be upgraded:
[05:30] <kaveh>   kcontrol
[05:30] <Johto> http://stream.qtv.apple.com/events/aug/r27842e/m_428396549_650_ref.mov <-- can anyone else try and see if it plays VIDEO too with audio using VLC ?
[05:31] <kaveh> Pici, ho w can i remove kcontrol from upgraded list
[05:31] <directLink> francois: I don't have enough space to copy it back, that's the problem. My old one somehow still uses space...
[05:31] <Pici> kaveh: I believe you can with `aptitude hold kcontrol`
[05:32] <kaveh> Pici, thanks again
[05:32] <DrHalan> hey, does somebody use code::blocks nightly build because it doesnt start up here
[05:32] <Penguinsaremyfri> is there a command to reset a wireless card? using bc43xx driver
[05:32] <dooglus> GuHhH: to umount it, you need to not have any shells cd'ed to that device
[05:32] <aa_> hi, just bought a new laptop :) the wireless driver is in restricted-modules and has been loaded successfully. But for some reason only the ethernet card and loopback are displayed in ifconfig
[05:32] <francois> directLink: see if you can search for a file you know exists in your home folder and maybe that will tell you where it went
[05:32] <dooglus> GuHhH: and to be able to read the files, mount it with a umask that lets you read it
[05:32] <gcostello> aa_: try sudo network-admin, and add the wifi connection
[05:32] <kitche> aa_ ifconfig -a doesn't show you more then two?
[05:32] <francois> directLink: otherwise i don't quite know what to do anymore, sry :(
[05:32] <JohnShortland> Penguinsaremyfri: open a terminal and type ifdown wlan0, then to reload it type ifup wlan0
[05:33] <directLink> francois: good idea, why didn't I think of that:P
[05:33] <aa_> kitche: no
[05:33] <GuHhH> dooglus: thanks, i guess its protected :(
[05:33] <erika14212> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=527001
[05:33] <Penguinsaremyfri> thanks
[05:33] <aa_> gcostello: I can't work out how to "add a new connection" in that dialog
[05:33] <dooglus> GuHhH: it's probably FAT format, which doesn't have the concept of 'protected'
[05:34] <dooglus> GuHhH: it's probably just mounted wrongly, so only root can read it
[05:34] <seanpcrowe> hi all...
[05:34] <kaveh> Pici, it did not work
[05:34] <seanpcrowe> <---- leenox n00b (but trying)
[05:34] <dooglus> hi sean
[05:34] <aa_> kitche: oddly though dmesg etc seem to say that the kernel module is loaded successfully
[05:34] <JohnShortland> hi seanpcrowe
[05:34] <seanpcrowe> as anyone got there synaptics touchpad working in kubuntu???
[05:34] <kaveh> Pici, thans alot an way
[05:34] <dooglus> seanpcrowe: I have one working in ubuntu
[05:34] <kaveh> brb
[05:34] <seanpcrowe> hi JohnShortland =)
[05:35] <JohnShortland> seanpcrowe: mine works in ubuntu by default
[05:35] <seanpcrowe> dooglus, mine works, but without any scrolling and stuff :s
[05:35] <JohnShortland> any else having probelms opening ubuntuforums.org
[05:35] <seanpcrowe> and installing synaptics stuff via the package manager just messes things up...
[05:35] <dooglus> seanpcrowe: it was mostly automatically detected ok though.  apart from scrolling, etc
[05:35] <seanpcrowe> any sujesttions?
[05:35] <GuHhH> dooglus: but i couldnt even copy it on my windows...
[05:36] <GuHhH> dooglus: it said thats its protected or something
[05:36] <dooglus> GuHhH: oh, ok
[05:36] <gcostello> aa: you need to add the wireless to /etc/network/interfaces (e.g. auto ath0)
[05:36] <loswillios> args
[05:36] <seanpcrowe> dooglus, have u gotten scrolling working now?
[05:36] <dooglus> seanpcrowe: yes, I messed with my xorg.conf
[05:36] <aa_> gcostello: oh ok
[05:36] <GNine> i really wish to go back to square one on this next install.
[05:36] <loswillios> somehow, nvidia.ko isn't shipped with linux-restricted-modules
[05:36] <dooglus> seanpcrowe: # http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Synaptics_Touchpad told me how
[05:36] <seanpcrowe> dooglus, what did u do with it??
[05:36] <aa_> gcostello: can I just call it eth1 ? or how do I find out the name
[05:37] <seanpcrowe> dooglus, ok dude... many thank =)
[05:37] <seanpcrowe> *thanks
[05:37] <JohnShortland> dooglus: did you add shmconfig = true to your xorg.conf?
[05:37] <gvsa123> oh xchat-gnome connects me instantaneously to irc.freenode.net #ubuntu?
[05:37] <aa_> gcostello: actully, already it has auto up to eth2 ath0 and wlan0
[05:37] <loswillios> and nvidia.ko isn't build on my system. wtf happened
[05:37] <dooglus> seanpcrowe: the relevant part of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf now looks like this: http://dooglus.rincevent.net/random/synaptic.txt
[05:38] <dooglus> JohnShortland: I did, but only ever used it for debugging
[05:38] <JohnShortland> dooglus: if you add it you can use the touchpad settings in System>Preferances>touchpad very handy
[05:39] <dooglus> JohnShortland: I don't have System>Preferences>touchpad
[05:39] <JohnShortland> dooglus: if you install it, its very handy nice gui for all the touchpad settings
[05:39] <dooglus> JohnShortland: what's the package called?
[05:39] <seanpcrowe> dooglus, so i add that to xorg.conf and it should work??? i also dont have the synaptics settings showing up in the lenox control panel )if that makes sence)
[05:40] <JohnShortland> dooglus: one sec ill get the name
[05:40] <dooglus> seanpcrowe: you should already have a section of your xorg.conf for the touchpad - do you?
[05:40] <seanpcrowe> it has been miss-reonised as something else... i cant rememebr what...
[05:41] <dooglus> seanpcrowe: oh, I see
[05:41] <SirBob1701> is there anything else you need to do after you install postgresql-contrib-8.1 to get tsvector to work?
[05:41] <Tigggzzz> Is it worth installing 64-bit? Or will it just give me extra issues?
[05:41] <seanpcrowe> i tryed installing synaptics stuff via the package messenger... but then the OS complaines when i try to use the GUI settings for the touchpad..
[05:41] <dooglus> seanpcrowe: here's my whole xorg.conf: http://dooglus.rincevent.net/random/xorg.conf
[05:41] <cyp> hi, does anyone know if the kensington expansion dock (a docking station for laptop) works with ubuntu ? :)
[05:41] <dooglus> seanpcrowe: that will show you how the touchpad gets referenced from the other sections
[05:42] <praet> mrmonday: gimme a sec to write something k
[05:42] <mrmonday> praet, thanks :D
[05:42] <loswillios> what can I do when I have no nvidia.ko on my sytem?
[05:43] <abhinay> which codec do i need to play mp3 in rhythmbox player ?
[05:43] <dooglus> seanpcrowe: basically the "ServerLayout" section must reference the touchpad section using the same name
[05:43] <loswillios> (although I have installed linux-restricted-modules and nvidia-glx)
[05:43] <Johto> any program / way to watch/save Apple's Keynote videostreams?
[05:43] <el_taco> loswillios get the kernal module?
[05:43] <JohnShortland> dooglus: its in the repos if you look through add/remove you'll find it, my net is acting up pages wont load so cant find the name of the app
[05:43] <GNine> are iso files best written to a dvd disk?
[05:43] <loswillios> el_taco: yeah... but I don't know how
[05:43] <jetscreamer> GNine: doesn't matter
[05:43] <Johto> GNine: depends on the .iso
[05:43] <dooglus> GNine: depends on the size I guess
[05:43] <jetscreamer> GNine: the size of the iso
[05:43] <Johto> GnarlyBob: therea re cd isos, and dvd isos
[05:43] <GNine> 700mb
[05:44] <loswillios> el_taco: was it shipped with linux-restricted-modules? can you please check with dpkg -l linux-restricted-modules|grep nvidia
[05:44] <dooglus> GNine: you can just mount them without burning if you like
[05:44] <tacos_ubuntu> GNine: if it is 700mb then use a cd
[05:44] <jetscreamer> no you can write cd images to dvd
[05:44] <Johto> GnarlyBob: if its 700, its best to use cd
[05:44] <genii> try nv.ko instead ?
[05:44] <jetscreamer> just not the other way
[05:44] <Johto> GnarlyBob: sorry, not u :I
[05:44] <GNine> 10-4
[05:44] <dooglus> GNine: mount -o loop -t iso9660 "$1" /mnt/iso
[05:44] <jetscreamer> that will fit on a cd
[05:44] <Johto> Gnea:  if its 700, its best to use cd
[05:44] <loswillios> genii: that works, but I want google earth and stuff
[05:44] <tacos_ubuntu> GNine: if you only have dvds, that will work also but it's a waste of a tiny amount of money and also space
[05:44] <jc_> hello
[05:44] <el_taco> loswillios nvidia-kernel-common maybe
[05:44] <Johto> 700 meg .iso IS a "cd-rom image" aka .iso
[05:44] <kazol> I cannot connect to a Windows workgroup any longer. What is the problem?
[05:44] <aa_> oh this is depressing :( seems using lshw that my wireless card is missing a "logical name" can I create one somehow?
[05:45] <GNine> dooglus: i want to boot from that iso. mounting it wont take me there
[05:45] <tacos_ubuntu> aa: I like the name Larry
[05:45] <loswillios> el_taco: that one is installed too :/
[05:45] <dooglus> GNine: burn it to a CD then if you have one
[05:45] <seanpcrowe> how do i vew my xorg.conf from wothin the OS... is it "kate /etx/X11/xorg.conf" ???
[05:45] <el_taco> loswillios just install the drivers from nvidia
[05:45] <GNine> roger that. thanks for input guys
[05:46] <jc_> about xorg.conf
[05:46] <jc_> yes but as root
[05:46] <JohnShortland> seanpcrowe: sudo kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:46] <jc_> so kdesu kate
[05:46] <jetscreamer> m-a a-i nvidia ?
[05:46] <jc_> or gksu
[05:46] <Greyhound-> does anyone have any idea why  can't access one of my NTFS partitions ? I tried with ubuntu and knoppix and neither one will mount it... in gnome partition manager under ubuntu the partition that wouldn't mount appeared as an ext2, but I know it's ntfs.
[05:46] <jc_> if u use gnome
[05:46] <seanpcrowe> ah... sudo kate
[05:46] <loswillios> el_taco: did that too. but my computer hangs when starting X then (module loading is fine), so I want to try the ubuntu-way
[05:46] <seanpcrowe> thx...
[05:46] <loswillios> no logs and stuff.... sucks
[05:47] <jc_> np
[05:47] <SlimeyPe1e> Greyhound-: sounds like there might be something up with your partition table. Check gparted/fdisk to see what they say.
[05:47] <JohnShortland> dooglus: gsynaptics
[05:47] <Paddy_EIRE> Greyhound-: have you tried running chkdsk on the win partition..I find this resolves alot
[05:47] <jetscreamer> fdisk -l
[05:47] <jc_> has nybody installed the mezzo desktop in ubuntu?
[05:47] <TBotNik_u> All: on my sound problem, my partner installed Gentoo box and it would not see or config audio codec until we installed a Creative Labs card and config'd it.  Then both the onboard and the Creative came up, so we dropped the Creative.  Since nothing I do shows the onboard audio codec/chipset, I'm wondering if I have to run the same scenario?  Also wondering if any others had this same problem?
[05:47] <kazol> How do I connect to a Windows workgroup?
[05:47] <el_taco> loswillios what card do you ahve?
[05:47] <Paddy_EIRE> !samba kazol
[05:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about samba kazol - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:47] <TBotNik_u> kazol: Samba

[05:48] <tacos_ubuntu> Rexor_Moon cp fiename filedestination
[05:48] <loswillios> el_taco: heh, no. It was a TNT2 before, but google earth didn't work with that
[05:48] <dooglus> JohnShortland: thanks
[05:49] <Johto> any program / way to watch/save Apple's Keynote videostreams?
[05:49] <kazol> JohnSchortland: There are no PCs visible.
[05:49] <JohnShortland> dooglus: let me know if it works
[05:49] <Tigggzzz> Anyone? 64-bit worth it or not?
[05:49] <Djoef> hello
[05:49] <david003> hello. i need an app to create a cd cover. any suggestions?

[05:49] <GCReady> looking for full reviews of the dell 1420N w/ fiesty, any one no where to find them?
[05:49] <Djoef> what shoud i use to make a video from an application (as in tutorial video)
[05:49] <seanpcrowe> JohnShortland, when i use that i get this error... http://i17.tinypic.com/676vmkj.png
[05:49] <Tigggzzz> worth installing 64-bit as hardware capable, but any benifit, or just more hassle
[05:50] <tacos_ubuntu> I installed it as 64bit and there has been 0 problems
[05:50] <bill_> where does 'apt-get source' put the source files ?
[05:50] <el_taco> loswillios the main problem I had when installing the nvidia drivers was I tried the ubuntu first and the ones from nvidia would not work. I finally figured out that even though I removed all the packages that it still left stuff that needed to be manually deleted
[05:50] <tacos_ubuntu> Also there is some potential for increased speed, depending on what you use your computer for
[05:50] <loswillios> el_taco: that sucks
[05:50] <tacos_ubuntu> My recommendation is install as 64bit

[05:53] <Draconicus> Hi there. Ever since I moved to Ubuntu, Camorama has come without its filters. It's driving me crazy, because now red is blue and blue is red when I use it. Does anyone know how I can get these filters, or can anyone recommend another capturing program?
[05:53] <osxdude|laptop> !bug #132966
[05:53] <JohnShortland> seanpcrowe: have you emailed your xorg.conf yet?
[05:53] <c0ldfus10n> kazol, are you sure that your /etc/samba/smb.conf is set to the correct workgroup
[05:53] <TBotNik_u> All Reposting: on my sound problem, my partner installed Gentoo box and it would not see or config audio codec until we installed a Creative Labs card and config'd it.  Then both the onboard and the Creative came up, so we dropped the Creative.  Since nothing I do shows the onboard audio codec/chipset, I'm wondering if I have to run the same scenario?  Also wondering if any others had this same problem?

[05:58] <kazol> I can't browse the Windows network-should I reinstall samba?
[05:58] <Pici> slingintacos: cacaview, its in caca-utls package
[05:58] <amonkey> praet, the left and right click are ok, it's the direction the cursor moves

[05:58] <seanpcrowe> JohnnyBolivia,
[05:58] <seanpcrowe> oops
[05:58] <slingintacos> sudo apt-get install caca-utls ?
[05:58] <c0ldfus10n> crap kazol, how are you browsing the workgroup
[05:59] <pawan> azureus not loading
[05:59] <kazol> c0ldfus10n: Under the browse printers and I've also tried Places, Network.
[05:59] <seanpcrowe> JohnShortland, are u still here???
[05:59] <Frogzoo_> slingintacos: cli image viewer ??
[05:59] <JohnShortland> seanpcrowe: yup still here
[05:59] <seanpcrowe> JohnShortland, http://rafb.net/p/qn4foH69.html <---- thats my xorg.conf
[05:59] <seanpcrowe> (text dump)
[05:59] <c0ldfus10n> kazol - I dunno... you may need to re-install.
[06:00] <Rexor_Moon> could someone please tell me where to find installation directories for games?
[06:00] <c0ldfus10n> try removing it completely
[06:00] <kazol> mushroomjay: Do you have acommand for the program that can be run in terminal?
[06:00] <Frogzoo_> Rexor_Moon: dpkg -L will tell you more than you want to know
[06:00] <slingintacos> Frogzoo_: yeah, you know sudo cmd /path/to/image.png
[06:00] <slingintacos> so i don't browse for it in gui
[06:00] <grimeboy> Can I somehow ignore updates for a particular package?
[06:00] <mushroomjay> I'm not sure Kazol.
[06:00] <kazol> c0ldfus10n: So sudo apt-get install samba?
[06:00] <reacocard> hey, I can't see anything shared via avhi, even though I know there is stuff being shared, any ideas?
[06:01] <kazol> mushroomjay: Can you open the terminal, type in the program name, and it will run the app?
[06:01] <SlimeyPe1e> reacocard: you mean ones you've installed? "dpkg -l <package name>" will show you files belonging toa given package
[06:01] <SlimeyPe1e> erm
[06:01] <SlimeyPe1e> Rexor_Moon: ^^
[06:01] <c0ldfus10n> well, do a sudo apt-get remove and then install
[06:01] <reacocard> lol autocomplete ftw
[06:01] <foxiness> reacocard, try to off the firewall "am not sure"
[06:01] <seanpcrowe> JohnShortland, is my xorg.conf b0rked???
[06:01] <dooglus> grimeboy: I use these 3 functions in my .bashrc to hold, unhold and list held packages: http://dooglus.rincevent.net/random/hold.txt
[06:01] <mushroomjay> I get a CLI, I wanted to use the GUI.
[06:02] <JohnShortland> seanpcrowe: open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install synaptic
[06:02] <seanpcrowe> kk
[06:02] <kazol> mushroomjay: The GUI should appear on most apps if you run it in terminal. Try it.
[06:02] <Frogzoo_> !pinning |  grimeboy
[06:02] <ubotu> grimeboy: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto
[06:02] <reacocard> foxiness: ah yes, that was it, thanks
[06:02] <kazol> c0ldfus10n: Should I add the --purge switch?
[06:02] <flash42> mushroomjay: what app?
[06:02] <mushroomjay> All right.
[06:02] <mushroomjay> VLC media player
[06:02] <grimeboy> dooglus, Didn't quite understand that Frogzoo_ Thanks
[06:02] <mayorbuttes> Hey, how can I check if a certain package is installed on my system? Working from a CLI
[06:03] <kazol> mushroomjay: Go to the place where you want the shortcut.
[06:03] <Pici> mayorbuttes: apt-cache policy packagename
[06:03] <mushroomjay> Ok.
[06:03] <kazol> mushroomjay: Right click on empty space and click "Create Launcher."
[06:03] <seanpcrowe> ok JohnShortland thats done
[06:03] <mayorbuttes> Pici: thanks. What does the policy do?
[06:03] <slingintacos> tried cacaview, but it sucks, so i just did gimp /path/to/image.png
[06:03] <genii> who had touchpad go upside down on them?
[06:03] <JohnShortland> seanpcrowe: it installed ok?
[06:03] <slingintacos> it works bettar
[06:03] <dooglus> grimeboy: this is simpler than pinning.  just copy those lines to the end of your ~/.bashrc file, start a new terminal and type "hold gaim" to stop gaim being updated, or "unhold gaim" to allow it to be updated again
[06:03] <seanpcrowe> yeah
[06:03] <GCReady> !dell
[06:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dell - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:03] <kazol> mushroomjay: For name and command type in vlc.
[06:04] <mushroomjay> I don't have that option.
[06:04] <mushroomjay> Only Create Folder and Create Document.
[06:04] <Lappy> well that does it, after 3 days of searching for ways to figure out how to fix my Fn keys on my sony vaio FE, it turns out, you simply can NOT! nice.. huh?
[06:04] <flash42> :)
[06:04] <eontastico> OS drive is failing apparently
[06:04] <seanpcrowe> JohnShortland, i get the same error still...
[06:04] <eontastico> causing all the errors
[06:04] <eontastico> didnt think an OS drive failing would cause files on a seperate disk to corrupt
[06:04] <dooglus> Lappy: of course you can
[06:04] <flash42> mushroomjay: is it possible that you are a liar?
[06:04] <JohnShortland> seanpcrowe: one sec gonna upload u your updated xorg.conf
[06:04] <seanpcrowe> kk...
[06:05] <mushroomjay> Er.. No.
[06:05] <c0ldfus10n> lol
[06:05] <Lappy> "Since the SNC ACPI extension isn't supported yet, neither webcam nor Fn keys can work. At this time, the linux kernel sony support seems to be Unmaintained."
[06:05] <JohnShortland> seanpcrowe: in a terminal type sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
[06:05] <mushroomjay> I could take a screen shot if you'd like.
[06:05] <jc_> does anybody know where it's possible to get packages for the mezzo desktop used in symphonyos?  (repo server is borken)
[06:05] <kazol> mushroomjay: Browse to /usr/bin.
[06:05] <flash42> no, i asked it "just in case"
[06:05] <flash42> :)
[06:05] <seanpcrowe> JohnShortland, done
[06:06] <Lappy> I haveto wait for the new kernel... .21-rc1 might support the FE series.
[06:06] <seanpcrowe> backup made =)
[06:06] <grimeboy> dooglus, Thanks. Pinning didn't quite look like what I was looking for.
[06:06] <boris_> i inserter a portable disk in my usb and that disk is owned by root so i cant modify it
[06:06] <mushroomjay> Ok, there.
[06:06] <kazol> mushroomjay: Type in "vlc" and you will get the vlc executable highlighted.
[06:06] <boris_> but i need to modify it
[06:06] <kitche> Lappy, hmm .21-rc1 is long gone past now :)
[06:06] <Smegzor> I think I'm doing it wrong.  I am trying to get a remote login to my file server.  Currently I can only vnc into it and only once I have logged into it locally.  If it isn't logged in, I can't connect via vnc.
[06:06] <JohnShortland> seanpcrowe: here you go: http://rafb.net/p/FijxDJ73.html
[06:06] <dooglus> grimeboy: pinning can probably do what you want, eventually, but these 'hold' and 'unhold' commands are much simpler to use
[06:06] <mushroomjay> All right, and then I can drag and drop the icon where I please?
[06:07] <c0ldfus10n> kazol what's going on with your samba
[06:07] <kazol> mushroomjay: Right click on the executable and click "make link."
[06:07] <mushroomjay> Ok.
[06:07] <elmar> searched absolutely everywhere for a solution.. just can't seem to get my headphones (to work) with my speakers (they work)
[06:07] <mushroomjay> Make link is phased out.
[06:07] <elmar> can anyone help?
[06:07] <JohnShortland> seanpcrowe: dont forget to remove the line number before your copy and paste it over your xorg.conf
[06:07] <kazol> mushroomjay: You can move the link but don't move the executable or you will not be able to run the app.
[06:07] <etuardu> hi, how do i configure xorg? (i have an intel video card)
[06:07] <Lappy> kitche, as in discontinued?
[06:07] <kitche> Lappy: as in it's been final for a while now
[06:08] <kazol> c0ldfus10n: Should I add the --purge switch?
[06:08] <micman> hello ubuntoers :)
[06:08] <Lappy> kitche, oh.. am still on 2.6.20-16...
[06:08] <dyrne> etuardu: either open /etc/X11/xorg.conf in an editor or sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  in either case with intel youll want the driver to be i810 i guess
[06:08] <kazol> mushroomjay: Did it work?
[06:08] <alesan> hi. is it possible to remove the limit that a user can login only once in a system through Xdmcp?
[06:08] <eontastico> hopefully this fsck on the drive will not nuke everything
[06:08] <ubuntu_n00b> hi, im a n00b to ubuntu. have a question: can i cancel the "add/remove"-tool ?
[06:08] <Lappy> !updatekernel
[06:08] <mushroomjay> No, the "make link" option isn't available. I see it but it's in grey text.
[06:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about updatekernel - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:08] <eontastico> it sure is deleting a lot of inodes
[06:08] <c0ldfus10n> kazol - sure
[06:08] <Lappy> !kernel
[06:08] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[06:08] <kitche> Lappy: yes sicne that is what Ubuntu uses if you want 2.6.21 you would have to compile it yourself unless they release it
[06:08] <etuardu> dyrne: i read about that driver but i don't know where to get it and how to configure
[06:09] <seanpcrowe> JohnShortland, i presume i just "sudo kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf" copypasta the 9 lines or so... save... then restart???
[06:09] <flash42> mushroomjay: you don't have it in your ubuntu menu or whatever they call it in the multimedia tab
[06:09] <flash42> am i correct?
[06:09] <kazol> mushroomjay: I have no idea then-sorry. Others here should know how to do it.
[06:09] <Lappy> kitche, I have no idea how to compile a kernel and what not... should I attempt it?
[06:09] <micman> a doubt...i have downloaded  ks8085 0.9.0 microprocessor simulator and have a problem with installin it ..help?
[06:09] <JohnShortland> seanpcrowe: type sudo kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf and replace the whole thing with the new one i uploaded to rafb
[06:10] <mushroomjay> Thanks anyway Kazol, and flash, you're talking about the multimedia tab in applications, and the "Sound & Video" tab, right?
[06:10] <seanpcrowe> JohnShortland, ok dude...
[06:10] <dyrne> etuardu: its already present. do this: 1) gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf   2) scroll to near the bottom of page where it says Driver vesa or whatever and just change it to i810 3) sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart to close and reload x with new config. just remember if yoiu break something you can sudo dpkg-reconfigure blah
[06:10] <flash42> yeah
[06:10] <flash42> sound and video
[06:10] <mushroomjay> No, it's not there.
[06:10] <flash42> hmm
[06:10] <micman> THIS IS ERROR I GET WHILE TRYING TO CONFIGURE IT: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!
[06:11] <flash42> it should be there
[06:11] <therealnanotube> how do you tell if you're running a 64bit or 32bit version of ubuntu? would you see something instead of i686 in the "uname -a" output?
[06:11] <mushroomjay> Perhaps it's something with the GUI based install?
[06:11] <flash42> i've just installed it via apt
[06:11] <kitche> therealnanotube, yes
[06:11] <JohnShortland> seanpcrowe: once you overwrite your xorg.conf with the one i sent restart the pc. be back in 5 mins, hope it works for you, if x doesnt load after the reboot just type sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf to restore your old one and restart again
[06:11] <micman> HELLO plz help. my internet connection is highly unstable :(
[06:11] <Lappy> !kernelcompilation
[06:11] <micman> a doubt...i have downloaded  ks8085 0.9.0 microprocessor simulator and have a problem with installin it ..help?
[06:11] <c0ldfus10n> mushroomjay - sounds like you may not have root access or something
[06:12] <mushroomjay> I don't think I do.
[06:12] <mushroomjay> Is there anyway to enable it?
[06:12] <therealnanotube> kitche: what do you get as the output for "uname -m", exactly?
[06:12] <c0ldfus10n> mushroomjay  - not sure how that happened.
[06:12] <flash42> you shall not be able to install anything without superuser privileges
[06:12] <seanpcrowe> kk JohnShortland tryin this now... brb (hopefully :P)
[06:13] <therealnanotube> kitche: i'm trying to have a script detect if the machine is 64bit or 32bit, but i don't have a 64bit machine, so need to know the exact string you get when you're on 64bit...
[06:13] <kitche> therealnanotube, mine is i386 but that's just because I don't use Linux :) it's x86_64
[06:13] <mushroomjay> Mmhmm.
[06:13] <c0ldfus10n> mushroomjay -  I don't know everything you are trying to do, but have you tried using the command line?
[06:13] <therealnanotube> kitche: thanks. :) what do you use? bsd? :)
[06:13] <micman> a doubt...i have downloaded  ks8085 0.9.0 microprocessor simulator and have a problem with installin it ..help me?
[06:14] <kitche> therealnanotube, yes I use FreeBSD
[06:14] <alesan> hi. is it possible to remove the limit that a user can login only once in a system through Xdmcp?
[06:14] <mushroomjay> No, I haven't.
[06:14] <PCboy123> Hello everyone.. first of great OS im new to this... I only have one lil problem how do i get my CD-DVD Rom Device to mount.. i tried the forums and the tips and tricks they got but no luck..
[06:14] <c0ldfus10n> mushroomjay, are you trying to create a shortcut to something on your desktop?
[06:14] <Pici> !ask | micman
[06:14] <ubotu> micman: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:14] <therealnanotube> kitche: a very nice os :) i used to run it on some servers back in the day
[06:14] <mushroomjay> Yeah, that was my original plan. Heh.
[06:15] <boris_> i inserter a removable disk and i cant write to it cuz its owned by root i gained root privileges and tried to change permissions and it says that it cant change permissions cuz its a read-only disk whys that ?
[06:15] <therealnanotube> PCboy123: it should mount automatically when you insert a disk....
[06:15] <c0ldfus10n> mushroomjay - open up a terminal window and do cd /home/(your username)
[06:15] <boris_> inserted
[06:15] <micman> pici: i downloaded a 8085 micro processor sim. i have problem configuring it
[06:15] <etuardu> dyrne: thank you!
[06:15] <mushroomjay> ok
[06:15] <dyrne> etuardu: np
[06:15] <c0ldfus10n> now cd Desktop
[06:15] <Lustblader> hi every1
[06:15] <mushroomjay> All right, that's done.
 I know thats what i been told but so far no luck.. funny thing i used it to install the os.
[06:16] <Lustblader> any1 know any media player that allows many tabbed playlists???
[06:16] <Pici> micman: Oh, I thought you were having trouble installing it.  sorry, I dont think I;ll be able to help
[06:16] <Pici> Lustblader: I think exaile does.
[06:16] <c0ldfus10n> now you can do a ln -s to create a symbolic link on your desktop to whatever file you want. You will have to actually use sudo ln -s... if you don't know the syntax of the ln command, do a man ln
[06:17] <Lustblader> Pici: anyother suggest?
[06:17] <micman> pici: ok... thank u for responding
[06:17] <Pici> Lustblader: I cant think of anything, sorry.
[06:17] <Funcan> Lo all. Anybody name a quick & easy cd/dvd burning frontend that is in ubuntu?
[06:17] <xtknight> Funcan, brasero
[06:17] <Pici> Funcan: gnomebaker or k3b
[06:17] <Lustblader> k thankx man Pici
[06:18] <tErNetBolivia> Prueba de conexin
[06:18] <therealnanotube> PCboy123: what happens if you run "mount -a" after inserting the disk, does it appear?
[06:18] <Funcan> Cheers
[06:18] <c0ldfus10n> mushroomjay - got it?
[06:18] <mushroomjay> Er..
[06:19] <mushroomjay> I'm not really sure what to do at the point.
[06:19] <therealnanotube> PCboy123: and is it listed in the output of just plain "mount"
[06:19] <TheimonAway> 0/ DivX-GuY
[06:19] <c0ldfus10n> mushroomjay: in your Desktop directory there, type sudo ln -s /home/     <just as an example>
[06:19] <disasm> Funcan: what about the default gnome burning stuff? I've never used it, stick to CLI for most things, but a number of the faculty haven't had any complaints with it
[06:19] <PCboy123> Nothing happends
[06:19] <DivX-GuY> hoi
[06:20] <PCboy123> its a removeable drive.. im running it off a Dell Latitude D830
[06:20] <Funcan> disasm: Can't find it...
[06:20] <c0ldfus10n> mushroomjay - you should then see a new link on your desktop
[06:21] <mushroomjay> It's a folder that says home, has a lock icon and a curved arrow icon on it.
[06:21] <c0ldfus10n> ok sorry - in your command line, type sudo rm home
[06:21] <c0ldfus10n> and then do the ln -s command again without the sudo in front of it (I'm used to working in root)
[06:22] <sharperguy> any info on the new backported version of amarok?
[06:23] <mushroomjay> In the ln -s command what do I type as the file operand?
[06:24] <c0ldfus10n> try "ln -s myHome /home/
[06:24] <c0ldfus10n> *"
[06:25] <mushroomjay> The next line in the Command Line is a >, what does that mean?
[06:25] <c0ldfus10n> that means you did something wrong....
[06:25] <c0ldfus10n> actually I have the command wrong - I don't know the exact syntax.
[06:25] <c0ldfus10n> just get back to your prompt
[06:25] <mushroomjay> All right.
[06:25] <kitche> mushroomjay, it's waiting for the ending most likely
[06:25] <c0ldfus10n> and type ln -s /home/
[06:26] <jc_> anyone have info on getting the mezzo desktop going in ubuntu?
[06:26] <c0ldfus10n> press cntl-d or c if you have to
[06:26] <JohnShortland> seanpcrowe: did it work?
[06:26] <seanpcrowe> lulz JohnShortland no it didnt...
[06:26] <seanpcrowe> i had to use the backup .conf to boot again...
[06:26] <JohnShortland> seanpcrowe: what errors did you get?
[06:27] <seanpcrowe> mmm... this touchoad just doesn't wanna work :s
[06:27] <seanpcrowe> JohnShortland, none, just stopped at a flashing cursor...
[06:27] <c0ldfus10n> mushroomjay - whatcha got
[06:27] <mushroomjay> Er.. Nothing.
[06:28] <seanpcrowe> this is after the kubuntu logo... JohnShortland
[06:28] <c0ldfus10n> :)
[06:28] <mushroomjay> Do you think it would be easier to do this in a private chat?
[06:28] <c0ldfus10n> probably
[06:28] <JohnShortland> seanpcrowe: just after grub
[06:28] <dooglus> mushroomjay: do you have something in the 'applications' menu for launching the program?  if so, just drag that to your desktop
[06:28] <seanpcrowe> grub > kubuntu logo doing stuff > flashing cursor...
[06:28] <seanpcrowe> JohnShortland, ^^^^
[06:29] <mushroomjay> No I don't dooglus.
[06:29] <barbie19> hi, can i change my gnome wallpaper from shell? as by specifying it in some file?
[06:29] <dooglus> mushroomjay: what's the program?  and how did you install it?
[06:29] <JohnShortland> seanpcrowe: what laptop is it by the way?
[06:29] <benn92647> YAY!
[06:29] <mushroomjay> VLC, using the Synaptic Package Manager, but at the moment I'm getting help in a private chat.
[06:29] <seanpcrowe> advent qt5500 JohnShortland ... bout 2 months old
[06:29] <benn92647> I did it all by myself
[06:30] <JohnShortland> seanpcrowe: make another backup of your working xorg.conf and ill give you another one to try
[06:30] <benn92647> can some help me install the latest nvidia drivers on my amd64 version?
[06:30] <dooglus> barbie19: I expect you need to edit the /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename gconf key
[06:31] <futureng> hi
[06:31] <westly> where to download ubuntu studio
[06:31] <seanpcrowe> JohnShortland, ok...
[06:31] <new2ubunt> Hello, I have a question regarding wireless connectivity in Ubunt 7.04
[06:31] <Sonicadvance1> http://preview.tinyurl.com/28hcey
[06:31] <benn92647> wireless is easy
[06:32] <tebriel_> i'm trying to configure vsftpd via a vsftpd.conf file i placed in /etc/ but after a restart of vsftpd it ignores my preferences, i installed via aptitude is the .conf file possibly somewhere else?
[06:32] <benn92647> go to network settings and youwill just have to do it manually but it will work
[06:32] <new2ubunt> for my wireless, it shows 4 blue bars in the taskbar tray icon, but i still can't get firefox to work
[06:32] <barbie19> dooglus: and where is this file, means there is no such thing like /desk... actually m creatin a questionnaire for a quiz event. so can u specify more correctly
[06:32] <lorena77> ola
[06:33] <dooglus> barbie19: gconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename /home/chris/Desktop/file.jpg
[06:33] <new2ubunt> i did try manually. i entered in all my info. ip, subnet, gateway, etc.
[06:33] <wolferine> benn92647, issues, or starting from the beginning?
[06:33] <kazim59> Is there anyway to know the network traffic going on? Which website is being connected and data transferred?
[06:33] <benn92647> what message do you get "cant connect to server"
[06:34] <mushroomja1> I'm sorry for that, I just got disconnected.
[06:34] <barbie19> oh wow!!! THANK U
[06:34] <dooglus> barbie19: /desktop/ isn't a directory, it's more like something in the Winows registry, if you know what that is
[06:34] <PCboy123> Hello everyone.. first of great OS im new to this... I only have one lil problem how do i get my CD-DVD Rom Device to mount.. i tried the forums and the tips and tricks they got but no luck..
[06:34] <barbie19> kazim59: yes!! ethreal
[06:34] <new2ubunt> on my wireless, it says i have connected to it, it even shows it at 70% range, but still cannot get firefox to work
[06:34] <dooglus> kazim59: wireshark
[06:35] <faileas> i thought ethereal is also called wireshark..
[06:35] <wolferine> new2ubunt, can you ping say, google?
[06:35] <wolferine> faileas, it is
[06:35] <dooglus> !info wireshark
[06:35] <ubotu> wireshark: network traffic analyzer. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.99.4-6 (feisty), package size 566 kB, installed size 1576 kB
[06:35] <seanpcrowe> the main problem i think JohnShortland is that kubuntu thinks my touchpad is a mouse instead of a touchpad...
[06:35] <new2ubunt> hhmm wolf?
[06:35] <dooglus> !info ethereal
[06:35] <ubotu> ethereal: dummy upgrade package for ethereal -> wireshark. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.99.4-6 (feisty), package size 21 kB, installed size 60 kB
[06:35] <benn92647> you could just reinstall firefox, see if that works, tht would probably be the easiest thing to try
[06:35] <wolferine> new2ubunt, man ping
[06:35] <genii> wolferine: I'm suspecting dns in his case
[06:35] <new2ubunt> ping?
[06:36] <bobgill> How do I add a file to a .tar? I have stuff.tar.gz, and I want to add say /folder/file.txt to it, what's the cmd line ?
[06:36] <tebriel_> new2ubunt: in your console/terminal type ping google.com
[06:36] <dooglus> new2ubunt: he means: "open a termnial, type "ping www.google.com" and hit return; what happens?"
[06:36] <new2ubunt> ok teb, what do i look for when i do that?
[06:36] <tebriel_> well, what does it say
[06:36] <new2ubunt> im in windows now, i'll have to restart and try it, haha.
[06:37] <JohnShortland> seanpcrowe: here you go give this one a try: http://rafb.net/p/CCGAYB93.html again just replace your whole xorg.conf with this one, i set it to use the device that works now but using the synaptics driver instead which should allow scrolling etc etc.
[06:37] <lysdexsik> re
[06:37] <Toddler> im connected to my windows share on my windowsXP box and its filled with MP3 files how do i "get"  them all at once ???
[06:37] <winbond> is anyone here good with electronics or electricity?
[06:37] <seanpcrowe> okok...
[06:37] <seanpcrowe> thx JohnShortland  =)
[06:37] <new2ubunt> i'll brb
[06:37] <Toddler>  i tried " get *" and " get *.*"  before
[06:37] <genii> new2ubunt: Yes, there will be some stuff to type into a terminal here to diagnose things. you should just keep one open for this.    in there type:  ping www.google.com   and see if it gives anything informative
[06:37] <dooglus> winbond: I'm quite conductive
[06:37] <DrHalan> how can i add a public key for a packet source?
[06:37] <new2ubunt> ok genii, thanks all

[06:39] <c0ldfus10n> lol
[06:39] <wolferine> winer, what depth are you looking at hitting?
[06:39] <Sven_vB> how do i do SFTP with ubuntu? i tried to enter sftp://sven:my-password@<IP_ADDRESS>:22/ into nautlius' adress bar but it says "access denied". however, from a windows PC with WinSCP i can connect.
[06:39] <winbond> dooglus: im trying to mod a old cellphone charger for my mp3 player, its .1v and 70mv over the stock one, id like to know if thats a signifficant difference
[06:39] <benn92647> i have pkg
[06:39] <wolferine> benn92647, Feisty?
[06:39] <winbond> dooglus: aka, is it gonna fry my player
[06:39] <Toddler> wolferine: doesnt work when connected with smbclient to a share
[06:39] <benn92647> i'm running AMD 64 right now
[06:39] <tebriel_> does anyone know how i can find out where vsftpd is looking for its .conf file?
[06:39] <dooglus> winbond: I managed to break a torch last week, so I'm probably not the right person to ask
[06:40] <wolferine> benn92647, AMD is the processor
[06:40] <winer> wolferine - Hey thank you for trying to answer this i have been googling for it all morning. i need 256 colors @ 640x480 + normal desktop color depths for the desktop.
[06:40] <wolferine> Toddler, so you can or cannot view the share?
[06:40] <winbond> dooglus: k
[06:40] <kefka> !distcc
[06:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about distcc - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:40] <wolferine> winer, sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:40] <benn92647> -wolverine ran into a problem with my fiesty fawn and forefox so switched to the 64 bit version of linux-i thought it was called AMD64
[06:40] <kefka> !info distcc
[06:40] <ubotu> distcc: Simple distributed compiler client and server. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.18.3-4ubuntu2 (feisty), package size 143 kB, installed size 372 kB
[06:40] <david003> hello. is there a log file that logs all the writing that you can read at boot time?
[06:40] <Toddler> wolferine im in the share
[06:40] <DrHalan> i wanna do sth lke that but terminal tells me curl doesnt exsist: curl http://www.tt-solutions.com/vz/key.asc | apt-key add -
[06:41] <dooglus> Sven_vB: are you sure about the :22 ?
[06:41] <wolferine> winer, look at your xorg.conf, and see it the res/colors you like are there
[06:41] <wolferine> Toddler, man cp
[06:41] <winer> wolferine - Okay, I see it.
[06:41] <Toddler> wolferine: in the shared dir with all the mp3s
 install curl then...
[06:41] <genii> david003: /var/log/dmesg
[06:41] <huszy> david003 /var/log/dmesg
[06:41] <softwork> good host server?
[06:41] <mosno> strange -- feisty couldn't detect my network hardware at install time, but it can at boot time (default kernel). what gives? i'm running the atl1 (gigabit ethernet on Asus P3SV laptop)
[06:41] <benn92647> -wolverine its the 64 bit version of linux
[06:41] <Sven_vB> dooglus: yes. it is the port that i use in WinSCP and afaik the default SSH port
[06:41] <mosno> note: i was using feisty alternate install CD
[06:41] <wolferine> benn92647, are you using Feisty (asking again)
[06:41] <benn92647> -wolverine no
[06:42] <dooglus> Sven_vB: did you try using the 'sftp' command line tool?
[06:42] <wolferine> benn92647, then consukt the 'ubuntu guide' google it
[06:42] <benn92647> -i am running version 7.04 of the 64 bit version of linux
[06:42] <JohnShortland> seanpcrowe: did you try it
[06:42] <wolferine> benn92647, 7.04 is Feisty
[06:42] <Sven_vB> dooglus: no. i'm looking for a graphical file transfer app
[06:42] <wolferine> benn92647, so your response should be yes
[06:42] <wolferine> as appose to 'no'
[06:42] <genii> david003: There are also other logs there in /var/log/   like: messages boot faillog    and so on
[06:43] <benn92647> -LOL thats funny, I guess then my system upgraded to fiesty
[06:43] <wolferine> benn92647, enable your restricted drivers, with the 'restricted drivers manager'
[06:43] <winer> wolferine - changing the default color depth is easy. assigning one color depth to one screen resolution is a puzzle.
[06:43] <benn92647> -woleverine ok
[06:43] <seanpcrowe> JohnShortland, tryin it in 2 minutes...
[06:43] <wolferine> winer, you can set it specific in your xorg.conf, as for doing it on the fly, i beleive there are hot keys to do it, i just dont know off the top of my head
[06:44] <wolferine> winer, the hot keys allow you to cycle through res.s
[06:44] <tim167> i have an ubuntu installation that hangs at the first ubuntu logo (after grub). the progression bar doesnt move. any idea what I can do ?
[06:44] <dooglus> Sven_vB: I just managed to connect using nautilus with<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[06:44] <wolferine> benn92647, also might want to check that ubuntu guide anyways, lots of good info
[06:44] <dooglus> Sven_vB: I didn't specify a password - probably the login is a public key thing
[06:44] <wolferine> tim167, can you ctrl-alt-f1 into a terminal (to undo ctrl-alt-f7)
[06:45] <Sven_vB> dooglus: oh that's a good idea, i'll try that
[06:45] <winer> wolferine - I am just not searching for the right word. - What should i be looking for?
[06:45] <tim167> wolferine, if i do that  i only see 'Starting up...', no prompt appears...
[06:45] <wolferine> winer, 'hot key linux change resolution' possibly?
[06:45] <wolferine> winer or ask in #linux
[06:45] <winer> wolferine - Thank You again for your help. :)
[06:45] <dooglus> Sven_vB: I'd try it with a password, only I've forgotten what the password is
[06:45] <wolferine> tim167, if you do what?
[06:46] <wolferine> winer np
[06:46] <tim167> ctrl+alt+F1
[06:46] <Sven_vB> just to be sure, will nautilus tell me when it has no sftp support or will it give the wrong error message "access denied" also in this case?
[06:46] <wolferine> tim167, you should be in a shell when you enter those keys, at the login screen
[06:46] <wolferine> Sven_vB, try an FTP client maybe?
[06:47] <tim167> wolferine, well it just says 'Starting up...' no shell appears as it would normally....
[06:47] <wolferine> tim167, is this on another box, or the one your using?
[06:47] <tim167> wolferine another box
[06:47] <huszy> tim167, dual boot box ?
[06:47] <benn92647> how to i enable clear text in linux?
[06:47] <wolferine> tim167, can you toggle the 'numlock' and see if your keyboard is working?
[06:48] <faileas> benn92647: methinks its 'clear'
[06:48] <tim167> huszy well yes...multi boot actually, i tried many distros on it
[06:48] <wolferine> tim167, so it is on this current box?
[06:48] <Sven_vB> wolferine: Nautilus did work for that some versions ago, and dooglus's nautilus seems to do SFTP as well, so i think there's no need for more software
[06:48] <tim167> yes keyboard / numlock works
[06:48] <benn92647> do i type clear in terminal?
[06:48] <faileas> yes
[06:48] <wolferine> tim167, when you are at the splash screen?
[06:48] <tim167> wolferine, no not the one i am typing this conversation on, its on another computer
[06:49] <benn92647> nope didnt work?
[06:49] <TBotNik_u> Sorry all, back, was afk.
[06:49] <tim167> wolferine, yes the screen that has the ubuntu logo and a progression bar
[06:49] <wolferine> tim167, ok, and its stuck at the screen as we speak?
[06:49] <tim167> wolferine yes
[06:49] <wolferine> tim167, ctrl-alt-F1 does nothing?
[06:49] <wolferine> yet your keyboard is working?
[06:50] <Sven_vB> the problem cured itself. dunno what the reason is, maybe a timer thing
[06:50] <tim167> wolferine it makes the splash screen go away, but only to give a black screen with 'Starting up...' nothing else
[06:50] <Sven_vB> anyway, thanks :)
[06:50] <wolferine> tim167, yes, a terminal
[06:50] <wolferine> tim167, is the screen res 'off' in the terminal?
[06:51] <wolferine> for example, a 600X800 display or less?
[06:51] <tim167> wolferine, no, i can not type anything, it should give the terminal but there ise only the words 'Starting up...', so no user@computer:~$
[06:51] <huszy> tim167, it happened to me when grub tried to boot from a different root partition, maybe try to catch grub and boot manually
[06:51] <wolferine> see above
[06:52] <tim167> wolferine i dont really see what you mean by screen res 'Off'... ?
[06:52] <wolferine> tim167, I gave an example
[06:52] <tim167> huszy, how do I catch grub ?
[06:53] <wolferine> is your res, a lower end res, not allowing you to view the entire screen
[06:53] <tim167> wolferine, no its a full res screen
[06:53] <wolferine> tim167, its a dual boot system?
[06:53] <wolferine> tim167, ubuntu after windows?
[06:53] <tim167> ah! i got something now: /bin/ssh: can't acces tty, job control turned off
[06:54] <JohnShortland> seanpcrowe: it work?
[06:54] <wolferine> you can change to multiple shells, ctrl-alt-F* keys
[06:54] <monteiro> anyone knows a good vector program to make website templates?
[06:54] <tim167> wolferine : several ubuntu's a dynebolic...etc..., but at least one of them worked before... now none
[06:55] <wolferine> tim167, english only please :)
[06:55] <tim167> i got a prompt like this now (initramfs)
[06:56] <Moki> join #ubuntu-locoteams
[06:57] <Dim45> N
[06:57] <tim167> wolferine, i could do a new install on another disk and acces the data on this one from there, but i'd prefer to repair this boot
[06:57] <seanpcrowe> JohnShortland, didn't work dude :s
[06:57] <seanpcrowe> lulz... >.<
[06:57] <JohnShortland> seanpcrowe: did x start with the new xorg.conf?
[06:58] <seanpcrowe> is there a way to select which driver kubuntu uses for the trackpad??? cause it currentally thinks its a standard mouse,..
