[02:51] <m0u5e> G3n3r1k: u share it wasnt the firmware? lol
[02:51] <kornet> Pici: yea, that did it.....thanks
[02:51] <skreet> rypt: I'd try upgrading but people using Player/Server are having issues too..   Ask in #ubuntu-offtopic or one of the other freenode topic channels.
[02:52] <m0u5e> G3n3r1k: lol... wifi radar just configures your preferred networks though right? :X... OH LOL
[02:52] <adam0509> Hi, do someone knows how to make gnome-menu opened when ur session start ?
[02:52] <m0u5e> G3n3r1k: LOL
[02:52] <rypt> skreet was using workstation and player

[02:52] <gilo2> Pici: Thanks, will look for that channel.
[02:52] <skreet> rypt: Can you have both installed at the same time?
[02:52] <G3n3r1k> yeah
[02:52] <rypt> just long enough to start it, install windows, realise why i hate windows, and delete it ;p
[02:52] <stefg> ashu18: copuld as well be some interrupt conflict. so it can be the motherboard, not the drives
[02:53] <laynor> hi, is it possible to install gvim compiled with motif with apt-get in ubuntu?
[02:53] <rypt> skreet workstation automatically installs player ..
[02:53] <rypt> coz player is just to view pre-made VMs, and workstation is to make them
[02:53] <skreet> rypt: Must be a 6.0 thing, then...
[02:53] <ashu18> well i don't anything about all these stuff...and i am new to linux too
[02:53] <ashu18> this doesn't happen with my Windows
[02:53] <skreet> ashu18: That's okay, that's why we're here :p
[02:53] <m0u5e> ashu18: cheers ashu18, where everybody knows your name
[02:54] <ashu18> how come everybody 'knows' my name?

[02:55] <SORMANOV> anyone can suggest me a good place to start searching how to build my own internet kiosk livecd ?
[02:55] <ashu18> the thing is I don't have Ubuntu at the moment...i ll get it permanently only if it mounts my cds and dvds
[02:55] <skreet> ashu18: It should. :)
[02:56] <Frederick> folks wich is the command to auto-configure the video in ubuntu?
[02:56] <ashu18> but it does't do so with my current cd-rw???
[02:56] <ashu18> what say?
[02:56] <skreet> That's why we want your dmesg output, so we can help you understand why.
[02:56] <m0u5e> ashu18: linux loves to mount things... its a little inefficient at times, but it *should mount your cds and dvds :/
[02:56] <m0u5e> ashu18: and here :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEhiNpyc2Ks

[02:57] <Jack_Sparrow> SORMANOV: Can you explain what that is or give a link with a definition?

[02:58] <ashu18> hmph...it doesn't ; i had been here about a month ago and i spent about 3-4 days asking for help and everyone tried everything and they couldn't  do anything
[02:58] <skreet> m0u5e: SFW is the opposite of NSFW, which means "Not Safe For Work"
[02:58] <skreet> m0u5e: I was asking if the video you pasted is safe for me to look at work ;)
[02:58] <m0u5e> skreet:  oh oh lol, yeah, its just the cheers theme song lol
[02:58] <Jack_Sparrow> m0u5e: And a bit of a temper until I finish my first cup of coffee...

[02:58] <Pici> !offtopic
[02:58] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[02:58] <G3n3r1k> is there another thing more specific than apt-show-versions?
[02:58] <ashu18> i am sure they viewed ('they' could be anyone among u!) the dmesg thing and didn't find anything wrong with it
[02:58] <m0u5e> Jack_Sparrow: lol:D
[02:59] <skreet> ashu18: Did you already post the dmesg?
[02:59] <michup> q
[02:59] <skreet> Oh
[02:59] <stefg> ashu18: without examining the problem you will not get it to work. you can only diagnose a Linux problem from within Linux. So if you can't give details, noone's able to help
[02:59] <skreet> I just read what you said, I see.
[02:59] <skreet> The important thing is to look in /dev/ for nodes called hdX (for IDE drives) or sdX (for SCSI drives)
[02:59] <skreet> If they exist, you can mount your CD/DVDs
[03:00] <ashu18> ok then.....i hav to wait until i put the new dvd-rw later today and see if ubuntu works...
[03:00] <ashu18> please pray that it does!
[03:00] <skreet> Now, if they're not auto-mounting thats a different problem and a function of nautalis if I recall (correct me if I'm wrong.)
[03:00] <Pici> G3n3r1k: What are you looking to do?
[03:00] <G3n3r1k> specific package version intrests me
[03:00] <ashu18> if not i will come back again from Ubuntu and give you all the dmesg and whatever you ask for
[03:00] <stefg> ashu18: i guess it's a motherboard problem,
[03:00] <G3n3r1k> apt-get search?
[03:01] <Pici> G3n3r1k: apt-cache show/search/policy package
[03:01] <Pici> G3n3r1k: policy just gives you the version
[03:01] <G3n3r1k> search didnt respond
[03:01] <m0u5e> well im gonna go to bed guys adios :)
[03:01] <G3n3r1k> maybe its apt-cache?
[03:01] <G3n3r1k> oh oops
[03:01] <Pici> G3n3r1k: yes.
[03:01] <stefg> !apt

[03:02] <dissection> Can someone look at my inetd and oidentd configuration and tell me what I'm doing wrong? I can't get identd to work.
[03:02] <ashu18> maybe and maybe not....
[03:02] <G3n3r1k> i can use aptitude as well right?
[03:02] <skreet> G3n3r1k: Of course.
[03:02] <skreet> Same apt
[03:02] <Pici> G3n3r1k: Well, yes. I dont know if aptitude has a policy command though.

[03:04] <cristi> can i instal ubuntu rom other windows?
[03:05] <squee> cristi, Can you please restate the problem?  I dont understand what you are asking
[03:05] <cristi> cant i instal linux ubuntu from another windows or another linux...?
[03:06] <maxime> I need with my palm tx. I am on feisty and I use gnome pilot. I have a craddle usb. The sync work when I use usb: in device but it freeze while the task are syncing. I tried it on debian and it was fine (it used dev/pilot). The task don'T freeze when I select only copy to pda. That'S it)
[03:06] <Pici> cristi: There is !wubi to install it from windows, but that is a 3rd party option and isnt official, nor officially supported.
[03:06] <squee> cristi, google for wubi, You can install ubuntu directly from windows.
[03:06] <maxime> sorry
[03:06] <Pici> !wuby | cristi
[03:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wuby - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:06] <Pici> ...
[03:07] <Pici> !wubi | cristi
[03:07] <ubotu> cristi: wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html

[03:08] <ashu18> ok, here's my motherboard model:
[03:08] <cristi> ok tanks
[03:08] <ashu18> http://pastebin.ca/664365
[03:09] <ashu18> will it have any conflict with Sony CD / DVD RW?
[03:09] <squee> maxime, Try asking on the forums, that isn't something i've had experience with.
[03:09] <ashu18> by the way, as for motherboard problem, it doesn't happen in Windows XP (that's what i currently have)
[03:09] <markl__> what is the best way to make sure the screen never goes blank or hits the screen saver
[03:10] <maxime> okidou
[03:10] <markl__> disabling the screen saver still seems to let X hit power save mode
[03:11] <Pici> markl__: Have you looked at the power management options?
[03:11] <markl__> Pici: yes but i can take a closer look
[03:12] <markl__> it is possible to use xset or edit xorg.conf for some of them, but that isn't too fun
[03:13] <ashu18> hello?
[03:13] <Pici> markl__: I'm running Gutsy, but I have an option that says "Put display to sleep after x minutes"
[03:14] <skreet> How is Gutsy?
[03:14] <stefg> !gutsy
[03:14] <ubotu> Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1
[03:14] <skreet> :P
[03:14] <skreet> I said 'how is' not 'what is' ;)
[03:15] <stefg> skreet: so the answer is: Quite alpha currently :-)
[03:15] <skreet> Ah.
[03:15] <skreet> I thought it was further along.
[03:15] <Pici> ashu18: I dont know what to tell you, unless somebody comes around with the same motherboard and hardware as you, theres no way we can advise you as to whether your new DVD drive will work with your motherboard under Ubuntu.  I personally dont see any reason why it wouldnt though.
[03:17] <MBR666> sup folks
[03:17] <skreet> MBR666: Hating VMWare, you?
[03:17] <ashu18> i don't understand why it happens to me....i have managed to convince 4 of my friends to use Ubuntu and now it won't run on my machine!
[03:17] <skreet> ashu18: Does it install?
[03:17] <ashu18> :'(
[03:18] <ashu18> yes it installs fine
[03:18] <skreet> ashu18: Does it boot up correctly?
[03:18] <skreet> You just can't put a CD/DVD in your CD/DVD drive and use it, right?
[03:18] <ashu18> yes, it does everything ok but it DOESNOT mount cds and dvds
[03:18] <ashu18> and floppies
[03:18] <skreet> It doesn't auto-mount them, or doesn't ount them if you force a mount either?
[03:19] <eggzeck> Why would Ubuntu read an ATI Radeon 9250 as a 9200?
[03:19] <MBR666> skreet, nothing really. just relaxing and watching conversation on irc
[03:19] <Pici> eggzeck: Because its part of the 9200 series.
[03:19] <Pici> eggzeck: It doesnt really matter though, as its going to use the same driver either way.
[03:19] <erUSUL> eggzeck: becouse they both use the same chip series the R2xx from ati
[03:19] <xoRock> alow, just curious, does ubuntu server 7.04 come with mysql in default?
[03:20] <skreet> xoRock: No.
[03:20] <skreet> xoRock: Wait, it does if you choose LAMP install.
[03:20] <skreet> xoRock: :)
[03:20] <eggzeck> Pici: Yes, you're right about the driver. But my other machines read it literally. Doesn't matter, just checking.
[03:20] <MBR666> eggzeck, because its the same seiries chipset?
[03:20] <seth457> hey guys, how do you install from a cd?
[03:20] <skreet> seth457: Put it in and turn on your computer.
[03:21] <skreet> Make sure CD is set to boot first.
[03:21] <seth457> no no
[03:21] <xoRock> skreet, so thats mean i dont have to download mysql right?
[03:21] <astronouth7303> has there been any reports of people mounting a USB flash drive internally and using that as their /boot partition?
[03:21] <skreet> xoRock: Correct.  However in Ubuntu you wouldn't 'download mysql' from their website anyhow.
[03:21] <ashu18> I don't know how to force mount, but it doesnt manually mount either
[03:21] <seth457> skreet: i mean, i'm now trying to install the drivers for my mobo and i need to do it from a cd, so how do i do it from within ubuntu?
[03:21] <skreet> xoRock:  You would install it from package management, which would still require an internet connection.
[03:21] <rojo> hi
[03:21] <eggzeck> skreet: Yes you would. If you wish to compile from source.
[03:22] <keymoo> what command should i use to find out what kernel version i'm running?
[03:22] <Pici> keymoo: uname -a
[03:22] <keymoo> thanks
[03:22] <skreet> eggzeck: Thank you for pointing out a confusing, unlikely scenario for the average user.
[03:22] <xoRock> skreet, aa ic
[03:22] <kitche> seth457, well if the drivers are not for linux then you can't
[03:22] <Opencan> One quick question before I install Ubuntu over my Kubuntu, is there a simple, bugproof way to make the icons big and shiny?
[03:22] <eggzeck> skreet: If you're an average user, you wouldn't use MySQL. ;-)
[03:22] <seth457> kitche: the drivers are for linux
[03:22] <Jack_Sparrow> astronouth7303: You can make a persistent usb or have a full install on usb...
[03:22] <skreet> seth457: Why are you trying to install drivers for your motherboard from t he manufacturer's CD?  Does it actually have Linux drivers?
[03:22] <SlimeyPete> seth457: open the CD in the file manager and check what sortof file it is
[03:22] <astronouth7303> persistent USB?
[03:23] <Pici> Opencan: Shiny? Big? Change your icon scheme?
[03:23] <seth457> its a .run file
[03:23] <skreet> eggzeck: I think you underestimate the average user Linux user ;)
[03:23] <SlimeyPete> seth457: if there's an INSTALL and/or README file then read those in a texteditor
[03:23] <astronouth7303> and it's only a 128MB drive, I just want to boot from it
[03:23] <skreet> eggzeck: I threw an extra 'user' in there, it's yours if you want it.
[03:23] <Pici> seth457: What Are you trying to install? Video card drives?
[03:23] <Opencan> How do I do that? (New to linux)
[03:23] <SlimeyPete> seth457: ah. open a terminal, do "cd /media/cdrom" and then "sudo sh <filename>"
[03:23] <seth457> just chipset drivers
[03:23] <Pici> seth457: Are you sure that you need them?
[03:24] <skreet> seth457: It's likely that Ubuntu's kernel has better drivers than your manufacturer.  Is something not working?

[03:25] <SlimeyPete> seth457: that's an xorg.conf problem not a driver issue
[03:25] <NovemberSky> is anyone can talk with me?
[03:25] <Jack_Sparrow> astronouth7303: I dont know that 128 is going to be big enough.. for persistent the base install is just over 40 meg...   Why exactly are you wanting to boot from the usb if you can install on the HD
[03:25] <seth457> skreet: GeForce 6600GT
[03:25] <Phrozen_One> does anyone know of a good *nix program for creating and tracking invoices, and unpaid bills?
[03:25] <eggzeck> NovemberSky: Just ask your question, someone will eventually help. :-)

[03:31] <skreet> seth457: Mine is ATI though, so don't pay attention to that ;)
[03:31] <skreet> If this doesn't work it's time to start reading your logs for reasons it's defaulting back to 1024.
[03:31] <astronouth7303> there's also the coolness factor

[03:32] <seth457> skreet: so if i just delete the others and enter the res i want it should work?
[03:32] <astronouth7303> I have one
[03:32] <astronouth7303> I got this one for free
[03:32] <skreet> That's nto my complete xorg file.

[03:32] <skreet> That's just the 3 sections.  The other parts still need to remain.

[03:34] <eggzeck> seth457: You can add any screen resolution by editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf (the screen section), just add the resolution you wish. Warning: Setting it to a resolution your display doesn't support can shorten your displays lifespan.
[03:34] <MTecknology> I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a serer with a RAID controller set to mirror. I can install Debian on it just fine, but Ubuntu doesn't find the HD's it seems like. Any ideas how to ifx?
[03:34] <MTecknology> fix*
[03:35] <eggzeck> seth457: After editing just reboot. Also, make sure you backup that file.
[03:35] <Jack_Sparrow> seth457: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup creates a backup  sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup  /etc/X11/xorg.conf   will resore it

[03:35] <seth457> how about just hitting ctrl+alt+bksp instead of rebooting?
[03:36] <Pici> seth457: Its better to do `sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart` than doing ctrl-alt-bckspc
[03:36] <MTecknology> Pici, I don't get that far
[03:36] <MTecknology> it stops right b4 partitioning
[03:37] <eggzeck> seth457: Reboot, if there problems, Ubuntu will stay in command line. Just login and restore old xorg.conf. Then reboot again.
[03:37] <Pici> MTecknology: I dont have any other suggestions unfortunately, I've never setup linux on a raid.
[03:37] <seth457> k
[03:37] <MTecknology> Pici, am i perhaps better off using debian?

[03:41] <tiredolddog> thank you
[03:41] <Vlet> I'm trying to modity my xorg on ubuntu server, and the changes just don't seem to be taking effect after restarting X.. it's almost like /etc/X11/xorg.conf is not the right file.. any ideas?
[03:41] <seth457> that still didn't give me the resolution I wanted :) instead of 1280 x 1024 it gives me up to 1280 x 800
[03:42] <erUSUL> !fixres | seth457
[03:42] <ubotu> seth457: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[03:42] <skreet> kondeDrakul: Do you get an outpu twhen you try

[03:42] <seth457> erUSUL: went through that already :P
[03:42] <rexy> Are the ati and radeon driver for xorg one and the same or do they provide different functionality?
[03:42] <skreet> seth457: Time to check the logs, I guess
[03:42] <skreet> seth457: /var/log/Xorg.log.0 I think.
[03:42] <kitche> rexy, ati picks the best driver
[03:43] <kondeDrakul> skreet ,the question i am tying to format diskette
[03:43] <rexy> i went through the guide on the ubuntu forums for the M6 radeon mobile
[03:43] <skreet> kondeDrakul: I have no idea how to format a diskette in Linux, unfortunately.
[03:43] <Pici> Vlet: Thats the right file.  Are you sure that you are editing it using sudo privleges?
[03:43] <rexy> but both give me dri rendering, but the radeon gives artifacts/crashes :/
[03:43] <seth457> skreet: no such file or directory :)
[03:43] <rexy> trying to get the compiz effects to work heh
[03:43] <skreet> skreet: do an ls in /var/log
[03:43] <skreet> wow
[03:43] <skreet> WOW
[03:43] <kondeDrakul> skreet ,thanks
[03:43] <skreet> I'm talking to myself.
[03:43] <Vlet> Pici: yes. the changes I applied are still there next time I edit.
[03:43] <skreet> seth457: Do an ls in /var/log
[03:44] <xtknight> lol
[03:44] <Pici> Vlet: /var/log/Xorg.0.log should say what config file it is loading at the beginning.
[03:44] <jfdbmi> I installed Amaya but it wont open, what seems to be the prob?
[03:44] <seth457> skreet: ah, Xorg.0.log :)
[03:44] <skreet> seth457: That's what I said... (sort of ) lol
[03:44] <miturburu> jfdbmi: the problem is that you instaled amaya
[03:45] <Vlet> Pici: ahh yeah, I'll have a look through
[03:45] <seth457> skreet: lol, permission denied apparently
[03:45] <qbradq> Does anyone know if the "xforcevesa" boot param works on the HDD install?

[03:46] <mjmac> hi all.  quick question: is there a package for something like upgrade-notifier that doesn't pull in 160MB of dependencies?  i want something for ubuntu servers that are headless and have no need for all of that gui gunk.  i could script something using cron, of course, but wondering if there's something already done.
[03:46] <miturburu> jfdbmi, why do you want it? it is a lame browser
[03:46] <seth457> skreet: am i looking for anything in particular?
[03:46] <Vlet> MTecknology: Is it giving you some error about not being able to figure out disk size?
[03:46] <skreet> seth457: I'd start by searching for 1280x1024
[03:46] <MTecknology> Pici, for future information. Debian was handling the virtual disk as a disk itself. Ubuntu seems to require that it sets up the disks itself. I just took a guess and that got me where I needed to be. Thanks for that other link
[03:46] <skreet> seth457: Might find a 'cannot use this resolution because xyz'
[03:46] <jfdbmi> it is also a editor for web pages
[03:46] <MTecknology> Vlet, ^^ just got it, thanks though
[03:46] <skreet> seth457: (WW) lines are also useful, sometimes
[03:47] <xtknight> jfdbmi, "dpkg -L amaya" to list all files in pkg
[03:47] <xtknight> jfdbmi, or run "amaya" in console to see any errors
[03:47] <miturburu> jfdbmi: not handy, I tried it myself, just use nvu, although its buggier than amaya it will be more handy, I use gedit only for webpages
[03:48] <miturburu> but bluefish is great too
[03:48] <seth457> skreet: (II) NV(0): Not using default mode "1280 x 1024" (hsync out of range)
[03:48] <skreet> seth457: What kind of monitor?
[03:48] <skreet> LCD?
[03:48] <seth457> skreet: er... Asus LCD yeah
[03:48] <xtknight> seth457, you can use "gtf 1280 1024 60" to generate a modeline for an LCD (60Hz)
[03:48] <jfdbmi> This is the output from terminal for amaya
[03:49] <skreet> I think 1280x1024@60 is already a mode, xtknight
[03:49] <xtknight> !paste | jfdbmi

[03:49] <jfdbmi> (amaya:7701): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_set_colormap: assertion `!GTK_WIDGET_REALIZED (widget)' failed
[03:49] <jfdbmi> The program 'amaya' received an X Window System error.
[03:49] <jfdbmi> This probably reflects a bug in the program.
[03:49] <jfdbmi> The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
[03:49] <jfdbmi>   (Details: serial 7152 error_code 8 request_code 142 minor_code 5)
[03:49] <jfdbmi>   (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
[03:49] <jfdbmi>    that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
[03:49] <jfdbmi>    To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
[03:49] <xtknight> darn
[03:49] <jfdbmi>    option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
[03:49] <jfdbmi>    backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function
[03:49] <skreet> I was going to recommend that you use the mode "1280x1024@60" instead and see how that goes, 1280x1024 might be 75hz (too high for your lcd)
[03:49] <slytherin> skreet: What card? Intel? Which driver are you using?
[03:49] <erUSUL> !paste | jfdbmi
[03:49] <skreet> slytherin: It's not me, it's seth457
[03:49] <CyberMad> why apt-get install mozilla-thunderbird doesn't work anymore?
[03:49] <xtknight> jfdbmi, use pastebin next time please.  as for your problem im not sure :|
[03:49] <slytherin> oops
[03:49] <slytherin> seth457: Which card?
[03:50] <seth457> slytherin: card is GeForce 6600GT with nvidia binary
[03:50] <xtknight> skreet, do you know if he has a modeline or the invalid modeline is from his monitor's EDID?
[03:50] <skreet> xtknight: He added "1280x1024" per my recommendation, so I'm guessing it hasn't gone to EDID yet.
[03:50] <skreet> His original issue is not allowing past 1024, which makes me think EDID wasn't being read correctly.
[03:50] <xtknight> skreet, if he doesnt have a specific Modeline for 1280x1024 it's using the EDID for 1280x1024 i believe
[03:51] <xtknight> jfdbmi, are you using compiz?
[03:51] <xtknight> jfdbmi, it works for me on Gutsy w/ no compiz.  not sure if it works with compiz or not
[03:52] <seth457> says here no EDID found
[03:52] <seth457> it thinks i have a CRT attached
[03:52] <xtknight> hmm
[03:52] <xtknight> seth457, generate a modeline for 1280x1024 and stick it in the monitors section
[03:53] <seth457> xtknight: modeline?
[03:53] <xtknight> seth457, type "gtf 1280 1024 60"
[03:53] <seth457> xtknight: in xorg.conf?
[03:53] <xtknight> seth457, affirmative
[03:53] <CyberMad> how to save IP configuration? so, when i do restart.. the configuration still saved?
[03:53] <miturburu> damn lots of broken packages
[03:53] <xtknight> CyberMad, use network manager?
[03:54] <MTecknology> how much swap do i want if i have 3G RAM and the system will be running virtual machines?
[03:54] <miturburu> glad, I will spend the whole holyday fixing this upgrade
[03:54] <misiekf> warszawa.irc.pl
[03:54] <CyberMad> xtknight how to do that with file?
[03:54] <CyberMad> i mean command
[03:55] <xtknight> seth457, after this, use the name it gives you (should be "1280x1024_60.00") in the "Modes" line of subsection display
[03:55] <Kaedenn> Greetin's! I just unstalled Ubuntu yesterday (and I'm loving it so far), but what pachage should I download to open `compiled HTML help files for windows`, extension .chm?
[03:55] <xtknight> CyberMad, gksu nm-applet
[03:55] <ganu> in restricted driver "lucent/agere linmodem controller driver" is not in use..what is lucent/agere linmodem controller drive???
[03:55] <xtknight> CyberMad, it should give you a network manager applet in the top right of screen.  use this to configure interfaces
[03:55] <Frogzoo> MTecknology: 2gig mebbe
[03:55] <kitche> ganu: it's for your winmodem most likely

[03:56] <MTecknology> Frogzoo, lol, that's a bit smaller than the double it i was thinking :P
[03:56] <[Weez] > ok so i read the stuff on wpa security, i tried apt-get install wpa_supplicant and it says the newest version is already installed, tells me to edit the conf but the conf doesnt exist, i can create a new conf with the password and ssid but are there other parts that need to be in the conf?
[03:56] <skreet> seth457: Sorry, I disappeared for a second (at work :()  How you making out?
[03:56] <Frogzoo> MTecknology: if you've lots of ram, too much swap will slow you down
[03:56] <roe> anyone know how to "glue" one pdf onto the end of another?
[03:56] <xtknight> seth457, post your xorg.conf on pastebin when you're done.

[04:03] <Mr> i need a working flash plugin for amd64
[04:03] <seth457> xtknight: ah :)

[04:07] <seth457> xtknight: got that
[04:07] <xtknight> seth457, also paste this when youre done
[04:08] <seth457> xtknight: paste what?
[04:08] <xtknight> seth457, xorg.conf
[04:08] <xtknight> seth457, btw are you using "nvidia" or "vesa" or "fglrx"?  or something else for video driver
[04:09] <seth457> xtknight: it says nv, i installed the nvidia binary
[04:09] <xtknight> seth457, ah k
[04:09] <skreet> seth457: Chang eit to 'nvidia', 'nv' is the open-source one
[04:09] <effie_jayx> can anoyne help me with samba?
[04:09] <xtknight> ya well changing to nvidia alone may fix the res problem
[04:09] <stefg> MTecknology: what are you going to use 4 GB swap for? Hibernate a server with 4 GB ram?
[04:09] <hispazone> thanks uboto
[04:09] <xtknight> if you installed "nvdia"..
[04:09] <skreet> !ask | effie_jayx
[04:09] <ubotu> effie_jayx: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:09] <seth457> skreet: k
[04:09] <xtknight> seth457, hold on.  did you install "nvidia"?
[04:09] <xtknight> sure?
[04:10] <effie_jayx> I have 3 machines on a network, one windows and 2 ubuntu's
[04:10] <effie_jayx> my ubuntu can't see the other ubuntu machine
[04:10] <effie_jayx> well.. it sees it
[04:10] <seth457> xtknight: yeah, installed the binary for it like it says on the resoltion how to page
[04:10] <effie_jayx> but I can't see the sahres in it
[04:10] <xtknight> seth457, ok from restricted drivers?
[04:10] <skreet> effie_jayx: What are you using to browse the shares?
[04:10] <seth457> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34400
[04:10] <effie_jayx> skreet,  nautilus
[04:10] <seth457> xtknight: restricted?
[04:10] <rohan> can someone _please_ give some love to this bug - https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/132603
[04:10] <xtknight> seth457, what howto page did you follow?
[04:10] <rohan> it's almost too late :(
[04:11] <skreet> effie_jayx: Hmm.. My knowledge of Samba is pretty slim.
[04:11] <skreet> effie_jayx: Mine 'just works'
[04:11] <effie_jayx> skreet,  yeah... usually it is that way
[04:11] <xtknight> seth457, it needs to be "1280x1024_60.00" under "Modes", not "1280x1024".  sorry
[04:11] <seth457> !fixres
[04:11] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[04:11] <effie_jayx> I can actually see the windows sahre
[04:11] <skreet> xtknight: Beat me to it.
[04:11] <MTecknology> stefg, this system is going to host 4 virtual machines, one's going to be JUST cracking passwords to see how secure they are.. that machines alone will probably use 2-2.5G RAM a lot of the time. What really slows that thing down is the 98% of the 1.8Gz Dual core processor it uses.
[04:11] <seth457> that page
[04:11] <effie_jayx> but the problem seems to be authentication
[04:12] <effie_jayx> or no rights to the sahres
[04:12] <effie_jayx> cuz i can see them
[04:12] <skreet> MTecknology: What virtual machine software?
[04:12] <rexy> i have added a vpn entry in networkmanager, but i cant start it, it is listed in the vpn configurations though
[04:12] <Arafangion> MTecknology: Why don't you run a single OS?  You don't need an entire VM just to crack passwords.
[04:12] <effie_jayx> but I can't browse them
[04:12] <MTecknology> skreet, vmware-server
[04:12] <rexy> is there a way to manually start it?
[04:12] <Arafangion> MTecknology: Xen would be faster.
[04:12] <skreet> MTecknology: What processor?  I'm curious because my vmware keeps crashing and it's driving me nuts.
[04:12] <rexy> it's not showing due to a static configured network interfaces
[04:13] <xtknight> seth457, got the xorg.conf changed? (to "1280x1024_60.00")
[04:13] <seth457> xtknight: yeppers
[04:13] <xtknight> seth457, ok
[04:13] <xtknight> seth457, under "Modes" right
[04:13] <seth457> xtknight: yeppers :)
[04:13] <xtknight> seth457, i dont see instructions here on how to install "nvidia" drivers
[04:13] <seth457> maybe someone in here told me...
[04:13] <xtknight> im asking because you could totally break your X
[04:13] <stefg> MTecknology: ok, seems that you know what you're doing with it. Just wanted to prevent the (false) assumption 'make swap twice as large as ram' which isn't valid any more nowadays
[04:13] <xtknight> seth457, change "nvidia" to "nv" for now
[04:13] <seth457> it was just a command line which installed the binary
[04:13] <xtknight> hmm
[04:13] <seth457> xtknight: coolies, and now reboot?
[04:14] <xtknight> seth457, logout
[04:14] <xtknight> seth457, we  can fix it to "nvidia" later.  just would like to run checks first
[04:14] <uuser> HI
[04:14] <MTecknology> Arafangion, the other system is a windows devepopment server, the third is a penetration testing system, then the fourth will probably be for me to mess around with
[04:14] <seth457> xtknight: see, when i'm at the login screen its a different resolution to when i log in
[04:14] <MrBougo> okay, i'm out
[04:14] <MrBougo> bye!
[04:15] <xtknight> seth457, press Ctrl Alt +  to switch resolutions
[04:15] <xtknight> and -
[04:15] <uuser> I want a package for a clock that will display on the desktop and also allow to do a countdown
[04:15] <Arafangion> MTecknology: Windows means it must be VMware.
[04:15] <Spaz1331> I could use some help connecting to a pptp vpn on campus -- i get the error:  pppd[8143] : MS-CHAP authentication failed: I don't like you.  Go 'way.
[04:15] <vladuz976> how do i do a distro upgrade?
[04:15] <skreet> xtknight: Is that an nvidia feature, or X?
[04:15] <xtknight> !upgrade | vladuz976
[04:15] <xtknight> skreet, x
[04:15] <ubotu> vladuz976: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[04:15] <seth457> xtknight: didn't work
[04:15] <uuser> like a window displaying the time not a clock wifdget
[04:15] <skreet> vladuz976: Best way is to use the software update application in your system tray..
[04:15] <xtknight> seth457, did you logout first?
[04:15] <seth457> xtknight: yeah
[04:15] <seth457> xtknight: then back in
[04:15] <xtknight> seth457, can you post xorg log?
[04:15] <skreet> seth457: Did you do that gdm restart?
[04:15] <Pici> uuser: You might be able to find a gdesklet to do that.
[04:16] <xtknight> i think logging out should do it
[04:16] <seth457> skreet: yeah
[04:16] <vladuz976> skreet, really? i've never used that thing at all
[04:16] <seth457> xtknight: in a minute
[04:16] <cast0r> how do i remove acpi of my system?
[04:16] <skreet> vladuz976: I Just used it on my sevrer to go from 6.10 to 7.04

[04:16] <Some_Person> Can anyone help me? I get this message after logging in: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34403/
[04:16] <uuser> anything else ?
[04:16] <seth457> xtknight: how to get the log again?
[04:16] <MTecknology> Arafangion, i don't like windows,but every actual server runs either fedora or ubuntu - this is the only system with windows on it at all
[04:16] <xtknight> seth457, gedit /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[04:17] <vladuz976> skreet, really? i heard in earlier ubuntu releases ppl had lots of trouble after distro upgrade, they would just prefer fresh install
[04:17] <skreet> vladuz976: I had issue from 6.06 -> 7.04 using apt-get dist-upgrade
[04:17] <aquafina> hi. i have a 1280x800 monitor. am at the console/tty, with ctrol+alt+f1. i want to get smaller fonts in the tty, how do i set that? like have something like 400x120 or something, with smaller fonts, instead of this huge fonts at 80x40 or something

[04:17] <xtknight> seth457, ya
[04:17] <Some_Person> skreet: Not that I know of.
[04:18] <Pici> aquafina: You'll need to change the framebuffer argument for your kernel in GRUB.
[04:18] <seth457> xtknight: how to select all?
[04:18] <vladuz976> skreet, i'll try that then, thanks
[04:18] <xtknight> seth457, edit select all
[04:18] <xtknight> or Ctrl+A
[04:18] <aquafina> Pici do you have any idea how i set it? err, as in which one to select? the vga mode, right?

[04:26] <chenchen> May I know how I can get libc 2.4 for dapper ubuntu?
[04:26] <SlimeyPete> chenchen: upgrading libc is dangerous
[04:27] <seth457> xtknight: think I might give up at this point :) getting late
[04:27] <Arafangion> chenchen: In general, one does not upgrade libc.
[04:27] <Some_Person> Can anyone help me? I get this message after logging in: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34403/
[04:27] <kenkku> hi everyone, I'm getting grub error 17(cannot mount filesystem or something like that) on boot after installing low latency kernel (I get it with other than low latency kernels too). any idea what I should try doing? I'm in livecd now
[04:27] <chenchen> Arafangion, but I don't feel like to upgrade the entire ubuntu
[04:27] <Arafangion> chenchen: Tough. Want a cookie?

[04:28] <seth457> i'll be back tomorrow though for something else :)
[04:28] <Vlet> I use a certificate to access various intranet pages.. Is there a way to use the certificate I use in FF to access the same pages from within php?
[04:28] <SlimeyPete> chenchen: you've not got much choice. If you upgrade libc then you might screw up your system entirely and you'll end up having to reinstall anyway.
[04:28] <ocelot11185> list
[04:28] <chenchen> Arafangion, yup. Cup of tea please
[04:28] <fsckr> kenkku, try this  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351
[04:28] <Some_Person> Can anyone help me? I get this message after logging in: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34403/
[04:28] <Arafangion> chenchen: Basically when you upgrade libc, you must recompile every single application that uses it.
[04:28] <Vlet> oh, this isn't #php! sorry :)
[04:29] <kenkku> fsckr: ok, that seems familar. it's not the first time I have to restore grub ;)

[04:30] <ganu> if i click on desktop effects  error "the composite extension is not available"is coming..how to solve??
[04:30] <devanampriyan> i just installed 1gb ram of dynet..and xfx 128mb geforce 5200....
[04:30] <SlimeyPete> arosen: kontact is similar to thunderbird, but less buggy and more configurable.
[04:30] <mrga_cro> just use evolution
[04:30] <Pici> !best
[04:30] <ubotu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.

[04:54] <Pici> !rar | Sarge_TJ
[04:54] <ubotu> Sarge_TJ: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[04:54] <cast0r> sipior: what kind of program is apmd?
[04:54] <neverblue> Sarge_TJ, yes, use unrar, sudo aptitude install unrar
[04:55] <neverblue> dont use unrar-free
[04:55] <daniele_982> neverblue yes i've reed the documentation but it not found
[04:55] <sipior> cast0r: it's a suite of programs
[04:55] <nephish> valemon, i have used ubuntustudio
[04:55] <neverblue> daniele_982, not found what?

[04:56] <gordonjcp> valemon: on a laptop?
[04:56] <valemon> desktop
[04:56] <gordonjcp> hm
[04:56] <valemon> using sb audigy
[04:56] <neverblue> daniele_982, then the documentation must not be well written
[04:56] <gordonjcp> valemon: sounds feedbacky
[04:56] <neverblue> valemon, please keep your question to a line, thanks
[04:56] <gordonjcp> valemon: check your mixer settings, in particular that you don't have the mic all the way up
[04:56] <valemon> ok
[04:57] <valemon> You see the problem is that the speakers make this noise whatever I do
[04:57] <youknowme> gordonjcp, isn't the mic muted by default though?
[04:57] <valemon> I have muted all the channels
[04:57] <daniele_982> neverblue or i not understand it
[04:57] <gordonjcp> valemon: even the output channels?
[04:57] <professor> ok here is my question, i have tried and tried and tried, is there anyway to get a acer aspire laptop to work with ubuntu wireless card of broadcom, and does anyone know if they are going to include it on the next version

[04:57] <Hobbsee> [00:57]  <incompetent_ass> sorry all... my pastebin url is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34408/
[04:58] <neverblue> i would just kick for the nick :)
[04:58] <gordonjcp> neverblue: why?
[04:58] <Alloosh> Hi guys, this is not ubuntu question, but want to give it a shot, do you know where I can find an open source world database, I need country region, city and code, and it will be great if it has more
[04:58] <PuToReGuiLa> ei fellows
[04:58] <daniele_982> neverblue so thanks for help. You're great ....
[04:58] <valemon> Yes, also when I play an .ogg nothing is heared, just this high pitched  sound
[04:58] <professor> why are laptops the hardest to get going
[04:58] <gordonjcp> neverblue: if he/she wants to be self-deprecating then fine ;-)
[04:58] <PuToReGuiLa> i need some help
[04:58] <raqamy> to log to a remote host we use @hostname in syslog.conf, but what to do in syslog.conf in the remote machine to accept logging from our machine?
[04:58] <Pici> PuToReGuiLa: Whats up?
[04:59] <gordonjcp> valemon: it really sounds like you've got some sort of feedback happening
[04:59] <PuToReGuiLa> i am new in the ubuntu
[04:59] <sipior> professor: random hardware is the usual cause :)
[04:59] <valemon> Also my sub woofer makes a rythmic doup - doup
[04:59] <gordonjcp> valemon: you *definitely* have feedback
[04:59] <professor> sipior, ok in that case what do I do
[04:59] <tweak101> #zomgwtfbbq
[04:59] <gordonjcp> valemon: either that or you're listening to Nitzer Ebb
[04:59] <P_Kable> I just installed compiz fusion and I cannot disable the cube transparency, anybody knows why ?
[04:59] <sipior> professor: i believe broadcom cards are supported, but some (all?) require firmware to be loaded in addition
[04:59] <PuToReGuiLa> i have no sound in the pc
[04:59] <valemon> so how can I fix this? :-)
[04:59] <youknowme> valemon, you tried switching sound drivers?
[04:59] <Pici> !sound | PuToReGuiLa please read this
[04:59] <ubotu> PuToReGuiLa please read this: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3

[05:02] <ubotu> Tiggzz: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:02] <sipior> Tiggzz: what? you say timmy's fallen down a well?
[05:03] <youknowme> lol
[05:03] <Tiggzz> How do I tell if my network card is at 1gbit, my transfers are so slow
[05:03] <Vlet> Pici: Thanks... If I "apt-get --purge remove ubuntu-desktop" will that pretty much clean it all out? I installed it on my server hastily, but then realized I don't need it :)
[05:03] <Tiggzz> I did just as k before and sat for half hour to see response
[05:03] <Pici> Vlet: Yep, that will work.

[05:03] <cast0r> sipior: i have installed apmd.if i run it, i get an error: "no amp support in kernel", so apm doesn't work and my computer doesn't support acpi?
[05:03] <valemon> no I never faced any problems
[05:04] <valemon> I used in the same pc suse 10.2 and slack 12 without sound problems
[05:04] <sipior> Tiggzz: try looking through the output of dmesg, should have it there
[05:04] <Aval0n> are modelines the same with ubuntu fiesty fawn?
[05:04] <Tiggzz> thanks neverblue, as I said I asked without a pester over half hour ago, so I thought i'd try agian.
[05:04] <Aval0n> or have the syntax changed?
[05:04] <Tiggzz> thanks sipior
[05:04] <Aval0n> everymode I put it doesn't like
[05:05] <Pici> Aval0n: As long as the modeline is compatable with Xorg, it should work fine.
[05:05] <cast0r> sipior: i have installed apmd.if i run it, i get an error: "no amp support in kernel", so apm doesn't work and my computer doesn't support acpi?
[05:05] <Aval0n> keeps saying No Valid modes for 1280x720; removing
[05:05] <neverblue> Tiggzz, did you not purchase the card yourself?
[05:05] <Aval0n> that's using gtf and http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl
[05:05] <youknowme> valemon, very odd indeed. I hate to recommend new hardware, so I guess maybe someone else would know more than me about this problem. Sorry man.
[05:06] <sipior> cast0r: hmm...apm is old-fashioned, it is possible that it is not enabled by default anymore
[05:06] <valemon> No prob
[05:06] <zeeble> how much do i lose if after install ubuntu, i install xfce/xubuntu stuff?
[05:06] <Aval0n> 0 dollars
[05:06] <cast0r> sipior: any ideo how to enable it?
[05:06] <Aval0n> :)
[05:06] <sipior> cast0r: you can rebuild your kernel, but that's a fair bit of work if you've never done it before
[05:06] <valemon> it is so annoying
[05:06] <zeeble> also, is there a gui application that shows me the services enabled by default.. so i can uncheck the onesi dont need
[05:06] <professor> sipior,that is great it look fairly easy as well, let me ask you another question, I have vista on a different partision on my laptop, and I am so ready to get rd of it, ever time I save it in vista then burn it to a cd , then go to ubuntu, it does not show p ther , it says that the driveneed to be mounted, then wehnI do that it gives me an error, not sure now what the eror is though

[05:06] <Some_Person> Can someone help me? The _XKB_RULES_NAMES property or whatever is missing!
[05:07] <cast0r> sipior: no other solution?
[05:07] <Tiggzz> neverblue, yeah, but my transfers are so slow, I fear it is not running at 1gbit. dmesg says it has loaded r8169 gigabit ethernest driver,so I must havea problem else where
[05:07] <zeeble> Pici, thanks
[05:07] <sipior> cast0r: might look through the forums, see if anyone else has had the same problem. they may have a prebuilt kernel you could use
[05:07] <Aval0n> uhg this is so frusterating
[05:07] <cast0r> sipior: ok, thanks
[05:07] <zeeble> meh.. its been so long since i used xfce, i dont remember how to do what

[05:07] <ti4mi> Hello, what's the best way to start a enhancement request? Trough bugtracker at Launchpad?
[05:08] <sipior> professor: you mean you back up your data under Vista, and the CD can't be mounted under ubuntu?
[05:08] <Pici> ti4mi: Yes, that is the best way.
[05:08] <Tiggzz> neverblue, because monitoring them gave me 8mb/s which is the performance of 100mbit, not 1gbit.
[05:08] <PIPBoy> I have a 7600 gt xfx, anyone know how i could get the latest drivers and get em working?
[05:08] <slytherin> ti4mi: What enhancement request you wish to file?
[05:08] <neverblue> Tiggzz, are the cards at both ends 1gbit?
[05:09] <Tiggzz> neverblue, transfering between the 2 systems when my linux box wasn doze, gave me about 30mb/s
[05:09] <youknowme> PIPBoy, envy
[05:09] <Tiggzz> neverblue, yeah with netgear 1gbit switch
[05:09] <professor> sipior,  meaning I go into vista and use my wireless card to download the file, cause I dont have a ethernet cord, i i use wireless, so I save the file on a disk then boot up ubuntu to see what hapens, and it will not read the dsk
[05:09] <bee2643> I'm using Ubuntu, and I can ping the machines on my network, and Friday I could remote desktop into them, but now I'm getting a "Connection reset by peer" error.  Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
[05:09] <neverblue> Tiggzz, yeah, so I think you are right, it probably is the driver
[05:09] <PIPBoy> youknowme: what do you mean?
[05:10] <Tiggzz> neverblue, unless I use raid to raid, I realise that about 40mb/s will be dificult anyway
[05:10] <sipior> Tiggzz: you using the right cables for Gbit ethernet?
[05:10] <Tiggzz> neverblue, yeah they are certified 1gbit, cat6
[05:10] <youknowme> PIPBoy, its a program that automaticly installs the latest nVidia/ATI drivers
[05:10] <valemon> GOT IT
[05:10] <PIPBoy> youknowme: is it in the repo?
[05:11] <sipior> Tiggzz: how fast are the disks on the machine you're getting the data off of?
[05:11] <slytherin> PIPBoy: Which version of Ubuntu are you using?
[05:11] <Generic> say how do i resolv a bssid from an essid
[05:11] <Generic> ?
[05:11] <PIPBoy> slytherin fiesty
[05:11] <Generic> harrie potter?
[05:11] <youknowme> PIPBoy, repo? I know its a non-supported third party program.
[05:11] <sipior> professor: hmm...make sure you burn an iso9660 disk, not sure what you're using to burn the thing
[05:12] <slytherin> PIPBoy: Have you tried System->Administration->Restricted Drivers Manager?
[05:12] <Tiggzz> sipior , neverblue ,  from sata to sata raid. the raid can sustain 110mb/s
[05:12] <Pici> !envy | PIPBoy youknowme
[05:12] <ubotu> PIPBoy youknowme: envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[05:12] <PIPBoy> slytherin: yeah but the drivers are not up to date usually with the restricted
[05:12] <valemon> bb
[05:12] <slytherin> PIPBoy: have you actually tried it?
[05:12] <professor> sipior,  not sure what that is I am using vista to transfer the files, hold for a sec let me see if I can find another rogram to transfer it over with
[05:12] <zeeble> what's a good terminal manager other than gnome-terminal that supports creation of tabbed terminals?
[05:13] <PIPBoy> slytherin: yes?
[05:13] <slytherin> PIPBoy: And still if it doesn't work for you then wait for 3 months and you will have new Ubuntu release. :-)
[05:13] <sipior> Tiggzz: the only other thing i can think of is that the auto-sensing switch has misidentified one of the connections as 100Mbit
[05:13] <CyberMadz> how to remove games that come with fresh installation of ubuntu? i can't find add/remove program
[05:13] <sipior> Tiggzz: or there are driver issues, as mentioned earlier
[05:13] <Tiggzz> sipior , neverblue ,  would you advise a program to bench my drives in ubu?
[05:13] <PIPBoy> slytherin: Oh i know :D i cant wait for gusty!
[05:13] <wers> how do I put page numbers on OpenOffice.org word processor?
[05:13] <PIPBoy> bcm43xx support yaye!
[05:13] <faileas> CyberMadz: hot about apt, or synaptic?
[05:14] <sipior> Tiggzz: hdparm will do that, but i'm not sure that's what you're after
[05:14] <Pici> zeeble: I believe kterm does
[05:14] <zeeble> Pici, ta. found another one, mlterm. installing
[05:14] <neverblue> Tiggzz, you can stop adding me in your posts :)
[05:14] <zeeble> grr. xchat and its , after nicks
[05:14] <kitche> wers: Insert special characters or soemthing like that then page numbers
[05:14] <sipior> professor: you might find it easier just to pick up a small usb stick, and use that to transfer files
[05:15] <wers> thanks kitche! :)
[05:15] <professor> sipior,  yea I was thinking the sme thing
[05:15] <Tigggzzz> neverblue, yeah sorry, just  that you were helping too
[05:15] <C] -[a0s> hey i need help with mounting my secondry hard drive

[05:37] <amicrawler> the group was not my win group
[05:37] <Jack_Sparrow> amicrawler: That wont help if you have them setup wrong..
[05:37] <amicrawler> oh
[05:38] <frappi> I'm having problems with my Java working with FireFox
[05:38] <amicrawler> well i see a nother system log on  my windows system
[05:38] <nojoints> how do I get a .png icon file to .svg so I can use it as an icon image?
[05:38] <jrib> frappi: what kind of problems?
[05:38] <westly> where can I download ubuntu studio?
[05:38] <jrib> westly: ask #ubuntustudio
[05:38] <Kilroo> How would I go about making a shortcut or launcher that would execute a Python script as if I had navigated to that directory and executed it there? OpenRPG seems not to work properly unless I do that.
[05:38] <jrib> nojoints: hmm, I thought you could just use .png files
[05:38] <Pici> !bot studio | westly
[05:39] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bot studio - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:39] <Pici> ..
[05:39] <Pici> !studio > westly (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[05:39] <frappi> I seem to have it installed, but FireFox isn't reading it as being there, so if i were to go to a site that required Java, it'd ask me to download it again
[05:39] <GIn> :S evince is so slow :(
[05:39] <frappi> It's not the end of the world tho
[05:39] <jrib> frappi: you have sun-java6-plugin package installed?
[05:39] <youknowme> frappi, I have the same prob
[05:39] <neverblue> frappi, google 'ubuntu guide'
[05:39] <nojoints> jrib; doesn't seem to work becouse it wont show up
[05:39] <madman91> is it possible to remotely login to a computer on your computer as a local user
[05:40] <neverblue> frappi, it explains how to enable java (the correct one) in FF
[05:40] <Pici> GIn: You could try epdfview
[05:40] <westly> #ubuntustudio
[05:40] <jrib> Kilroo: if doing something like 'cd foo; python bar' doesn't work in the launcher, write a two line shell script that does it and make the launcher execute the bash script
[05:40] <Pici> westly: /j #ubuntustudio
[05:41] <Anlar> GIn: it's a known bug in the rendering, occurs especially with large vector graphics images but also with the others depending on your zoom level
[05:41] <frappi> Ah, well see heres the thing, really, my Ubuntu installation isn't on a physical computer

[05:47] <jrib> frappi: k, back to the original question... is the "sun-java6-plugin' package installed?
[05:47] <ubotu> The people here are volunteers, your attitude may determine how fast you are helped.  Not everyone is available all the time, likewise not every answer is available instantly. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[05:47] <frappi> I believe so
[05:47] <jrib> frappi: run 'apt-cache policy sun-java6-plugin' in a terminal
[05:47] <d4rkh4z3> can some1 help me with a problem?
[05:47] <slashzul> what gnome program do you use for burning iso's?
[05:47] <jrib> !ask | d4rkh4z3
[05:47] <ubotu> d4rkh4z3: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:48] <Paddy_EIRE> !ask | d4rkh4z3
[05:48] <frappi> ok
[05:48] <jrib> slashzul: right click -> burn to disk
[05:48] <frappi> thanx brb
[05:48] <d4rkh4z3> I have 2 Hard drives. My C: drive is where my windows xp installation is. I made a new partition that is 5 gigs on my E: drive and installed Ubuntu on it. I found a old 30 gb hard drive and i decided i wanted to install Ubuntu on that instead so i deleted the partition on my e: drive with the linux installation. And once i rebooted when i try to boot windows it gives a error. It says grub loading then error. How can i fix this? I am run
[05:48] <slashzul> that easy? thanks
[05:48] <SlimeyPete> d4rkh4z3: boot your Windows CD,enter a recovery console and use fixmbr
[05:48] <d4rkh4z3> i dont have my windows cd
[05:48] <d4rkh4z3> lost it
[05:48] <d4rkh4z3> lol
[05:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Aval0n: I dont have much time as I am working today.. but.. did you enter the name of your card or did dpkg put that name in htere by itself.  You may me better off giving the ranges for your refresh rates and not trying to lock into one.  It will use the highest res that works without trying to lock in the one you want
[05:49] <Paddy_EIRE> !grub | d4rkh4z3
[05:49] <ubotu> d4rkh4z3: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[05:49] <frappi> hmm, interesting, apparently i don't have it installed...
[05:49] <mailavj> how can i set beryl as my default window manager and how can i run beryl-manager on system startup
[05:49] <fyrestrtr> mailavj: #desktop-effects
[05:49] <SlimeyPete> d4rkh4z3: well, you'll need to boot your ubuntu CD and try to persuade grub to install onto the hard disk (but tell it to onlylook for the Windows installation)
[05:49] <Aval0n> Jack: that is the highest my card supports
[05:50] <Paddy_EIRE> mailavj: system > preferences > sessions
[05:50] <Aval0n> but I keep gettin no valid modes
[05:50] <jrib> frappi: install it: sudo aptitude install sun-java6-plugin
[05:50] <mailavj> okay
[05:50] <SlimeyPete> d4rkh4z3: I don'tknow exactly how that would be achieved but it'sbound to be possible, see the grub howto (type !grub) for somepointers
[05:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Aval0n: I understand, but locking in just one res that it is not accepting is not the best choice
[05:50] <frappi> thanx Jrib
[05:50] <Aval0n> I've tried ranges too
[05:50] <d4rkh4z3> slimeypete how do i resize a partion with the partition manager?
[05:50] <Aval0n> I'm runnin /etc/init.d/gdm start from my ssh session
[05:51] <Aval0n> then cat'ing /var/log/Xorg.0.conf
[05:51] <Aval0n> says no valid modes
[05:51] <frappi> wow, i'm really impressed at the friendly support you can get here!
[05:51] <Jack_Sparrow> Aval0n: Did you enter the card id of "7300GS"  yourself?
[05:51] <SlimeyPete> d4rkh4z3: not sure, sorry. I haven't had to do that.
[05:51] <Aval0n> I re-ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:51] <Aval0n> no I did not
[05:51] <Aval0n> I found that by itself
[05:51] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[05:51] <Aval0n> It*
[05:51] <d4rkh4z3> is there anyway i can remove the grub files
[05:51] <Pici> Aval0n: Have you gotten any output to your hdtv?
[05:51] <d4rkh4z3> so i can just boot windows normally
[05:51] <Aval0n> Pici
[05:51] <Aval0n> yes at one point I have 1280x720
[05:51] <Aval0n> with overscan
[05:52] <Jack_Sparrow> Aval0n: what is the model number of your monitor
[05:52] <Aval0n> I know going 1360x768 would create a great 1:1 pixel ratio
[05:52] <aspasia> Hello all! I am a new user as of today.  I just got a new laptop and already the OS is freezing up.  I tryed reinstalling but it's still doing it... HELP?!
[05:52] <Aval0n> Jack: Samsung HP-s5053

[05:53] <d4rkh4z3> is there anyway i can remove the grub files so i can just boot windows normally
[05:53] <Paddy_EIRE> d4rkh4z3: no you need to replace the mbr
[05:53] <Pici> frappi: If you are running ubuntu in a virtual pc session, it doesnt really see your hardware, it just sees the hardware that vpc presents to it.
[05:53] <frappi> Oh shush you lot with ya fancy computers :(
[05:53] <d4rkh4z3> how do i do that without a windows cs
[05:53] <d4rkh4z3> cd*
[05:53] <Paddy_EIRE> d4rkh4z3: if you remove grub then you have no mbr at all
[05:53] <frappi> I know Pici, its ok tho
[05:53] <faileas> frappi: i do it on vmware, ditto
[05:53] <faileas> d4rkh4z3: you can't
[05:53] <neverblue> d4rkh4z3, your asking in the wrong place, you removed ubuntu from your system
[05:53] <frappi> :)
[05:54] <Paddy_EIRE> d4rkh4z3: do you have a valid windows licence
[05:54] <neverblue> d4rkh4z3, good luck

[05:55] <neverblue> d4rkh4z3, i did read that you removed ubuntu though
[05:55] <frappi> Faileas, My Computer isn't the best so the most RAM i can streatch to is about 265!
[05:55] <d4rkh4z3> ok i will try that paddy, neverblue i wanted to move it to my other hard drive
[05:55] <d4rkh4z3> not remove it all togheter
[05:55] <Pici> aspasia: Is it just freezing randomly? Or at a speicfic point or what?

[05:55] <technilogica> Hi. Does anyone know of a program or script to rename my music based on tags?
[05:55] <frappi> lol
[05:55] <MGPalmer> Heya, Ive got a problem with the upstart system, I suspect it to be something silly, as usual. I'm trying to start a cluster of mongrels for a RoR production site on startup of the system. Ive written a job for this purpose, and I can start this just fine with "sudo start job_name", but it doesnt come up on system start...
[05:56] <Paddy_EIRE> technilogica: easy tag
[05:56] <frappi> Whats the command string to check for a Java plugin again?
[05:56] <technilogica> Paddy_EIRE, thank you.
[05:56] <Paddy_EIRE> technilogica: or use amarok and install the taging script in there
[05:56] <neverblue> frappi, scroll up?
[05:56] <Dr_willis> theres dozens of mp3tagging tools out there also.

[05:57] <frappi> Faileas, Does your sound come through ok on your installation?
[05:57] <faileas> frappi: its an older thinkpad...
[05:57] <faileas> in short perfect for linux ;p
[05:57] <Aval0n> Jack_Sparrow: are you looking for something?
[05:57] <frappi> ah
[05:58] <frappi> Mines a bit Glitchy....
[05:58] <frappi> Usable though
[05:58] <mailavj> hey how can i change the root password and keyring password frm gnome
[05:58] <Paddy_EIRE> !sudo | mailavj
[05:58] <ubotu> mailavj: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[05:59] <frappi> Hurrah! Java is installed... well... lets see if it works
[05:59] <frappi> i might have to reboot...
[05:59] <frappi> but we'll see
[05:59] <Paddy_EIRE> no, you wont
[05:59] <mailavj> i changed password in root prompt, but stil if i am accessing something previlieged like network, its takin my old password
[05:59] <Dr_willis> you rarely need to reboot.
[05:59] <Kilroo> jrib: thank you.
[05:59] <frappi> cos it's not like crapy Windows?
[05:59] <Dr_willis> mailavj,  the 'sudo' password is the USERS password, not roots
[06:00] <Dr_willis> the user is doing the sudo stuff so its their password. use 'su -' or 'sux'  'sudo -s' to get a root shell.
[06:00] <frappi> Yes! It lives! Thank you so much!
[06:00] <mailavj> so when i'm accessing something in system- administration , is it takin sudo password or root password?
[06:01] <Dr_willis> mailavj,  good question.. No idea. since the 2 are the same on my system. :)
[06:01] <Pici> mailavj: There is no sudo password, its your user's password.
[06:01] <Paddy_EIRE> mailavj: sudo as in your password
[06:01] <Dr_willis> i agree with Pici
[06:01] <frappi> Gosh, Linux is a little tricky to work with, but i'm pretty sure if i stay at it, i can get quite skilled, and with some help from you guys too :P
[06:01] <mailavj> okay.. i dont want others to change settings in my system
[06:01] <Dr_willis> not tricky,  'flexiable' and 'powerfull' :)
[06:02] <neverblue> frappi, practice makes perfect
[06:02] <mailavj>  okay.. i dont want others to change settings in my system. some ppl have account in my machine.. how can i prevent them by changing settings using sudo
[06:02] <Pici> mailavj: So , dont tell them your password and dont give them sudoers rights.
[06:02] <frappi> Ha thanks guys
[06:02] <Dr_willis> mailavj,  if they dont have sudo access.. they cant.
[06:02] <neverblue> mailavj, dont give them sudo access
[06:02] <mailavj> how can i disable their sudo access?
[06:02] <Dr_willis> well they can change their own settings :)
[06:02] <neverblue> mailavj, so dont let them know the password, for more info, consult the 'ubuntu guide' (google it)
[06:02] <Dr_willis> mailavj,  its that way by default.. make a new user and try it.
[06:03] <tely> re
[06:03] <mailavj> hmm
[06:03] <Sretsnom> how do you "cut" in terminal
[06:03] <neverblue> ctrl-x, ctrl-c (copy), ctrl-v (paste)
[06:03] <Lr5> Anyone knows what could be wrong when some of my keyboard's buttons suddenly just stop working in ubuntu?
[06:03] <Kilroo> Ok, next question. Can anybody recommend a good way to add what Adobe and Foxit call bookmarks, and evince calls an index, to an existing PDF?

[06:04] <Sretsnom> i meant through the terminal neverblue
[06:04] <neverblue> too fast Pici :P
[06:04] <frappi> Off topic, I'm on Chat Avenue i thought for this session i'd use Tux for my Avatar!
[06:04] <neverblue> Sretsnom, rules apply in the terminal, look at the menu, it should list the copy/cut/paste keys
[06:04] <Sretsnom> neverblue, i know that sudo cp x /x/x copyes, but which one is cut?
[06:04] <Lr5> I have to unplug it, plug it in another (windows) computer, unplug and plug in the first computer to get it working again
[06:04] <Sretsnom> i meant through commands neverblue
[06:05] <neverblue> Sretsnom, you mean mv ?
[06:05] <Sretsnom> okay thanks
[06:05] <neverblue> as in move
[06:05] <neverblue> its not called cut :P
[06:05] <Pici> cut does something else
[06:05] <neverblue> Pici :P
[06:07] <Sretsnom> neverblue, "cd" movies you to another directory, how do you move back
[06:07] <neverblue> cd ..
[06:07] <Pici> Sretsnom: cd ..
[06:07] <neverblue> as .. is the directory above the .
[06:07] <CoasterMaster> Sretsnom: .. in each directory is a link to the parent, so cd .. will move you up cd ../.. will move you up two levels, etc.

[06:11] <valemon> Can you provide me with some repositories?
[06:11] <Pici> valemon: For what?
[06:11] <neverblue> valemon, consult the 'ubuntu guide' google it :)
[06:12] <Aval0n> Option "TVOverScan" "0.6"
[06:12] <valemon> for applications
[06:12] <Dr_willis> !easysource
[06:12] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[06:12] <Aval0n> wtf is that?
[06:13] <Dr_willis> valemon,  any specific app? theres 1000's of them in the normal repos.
[06:13] <neverblue> Aval0n, try google?
[06:13] <Aval0n> sure have many times
[06:13] <Dr_willis> Aval0n,  overscan is a feature of the tv display that  shows a little 'past' the edges of the screen.
[06:13] <Aval0n> it's a nice one
[06:13] <Aval0n> dr willis
[06:13] <Aval0n> I know
[06:13] <Aval0n> I'm sorry I pasted in wrong chan
[06:13] <SORMANOV> does this host resolve to anything: svn.sourceforge.net ?
[06:13] <Aval0n> I have overscan on 1280x720
[06:13] <Dr_willis> heh. :0
[06:13] <Aval0n> that is an xorg.conf tnry
[06:13] <Aval0n> entry*
[06:13] <Dr_willis> I rember using overscan on the amiga years ago.
[06:14] <Aval0n> just wondering if that will correct my problem
[06:14] <valemon> In suse we have the 2 main repos that contain the most packages
[06:14] <valemon> something like that in ubuntu?

[06:14] <gazton> If i have installed a program with wine.. How can i start that program after installation??
[06:15] <Dr_willis> valemon,  ubuntu uses the apt system.. there are dozens of 'repositories'
[06:15] <Dr_willis> gazton,  if it is done right. there should be an icon for it in the menus
[06:15] <gazton> ahh. ok
[06:15] <gazton> thx
[06:15] <Dr_willis> gazton,  or use the shell and 'wine .wine/SomePathThat/I/Can/NEver/rembemer/program files/program'
[06:15] <valemon> checking it out
[06:16] <gazton> ok.. i will look. It was nothing under program menu

[06:20] <neverblue> ubuntu__, repair it with your windows CD
[06:20] <Dr_willis> ubuntu__,  you expecting different answqers then from what you got in #kubuntu?
[06:20] <KondeDrakul> we say jodete
[06:21] <edulix> hi!
[06:21] <Dr_willis> ubuntu__,  your vista 'restore' cd MIGHT have a repair option.
[06:21] <neverblue> hehe @ Dr_willis
[06:21] <Dr_willis> neverblue,  :)
[06:21] <edulix> I've got ubuntu feisty, and previously suspending to ram worked,. but it doesn't work anymore -and it's been like that for abnout two weeks
[06:21] <edulix> it's a dell inspiron 1501
[06:22] <neverblue> edulix, the issue is...?
[06:22] <edulix> neverblue: it suspends, but it doesn't resume. blank screen
[06:22] <edulix> doesn't resume correct6ly, I mean
[06:22] <ubuntu__> don\t have a cd, as the vista installation has its own restricted space on the hdd
[06:22] <edulix> more than blank... black hehe
[06:22] <neverblue> edulix, please keep it to one line, if possible
[06:23] <edulix> neverblue: ok
[06:23] <neverblue> edulix, is this a seperate box, than the one your on?
[06:23] <neverblue> you're*
[06:23] <edulix> neverblue: yes
[06:23] <njero> Hi all, I set up a samba share on my Dapper box but I can't login to it from Windows or OSX... I can see it, but it won't authenticate. Is there a step I missed that grants permissions to the share? I figured I could just use a regular user account from the dapper box
[06:23] <MGPalmer> Anybody familiar with upstart ? I cant figure out why my job doesnt start automatically...
[06:23] <neverblue> edulix, do you have a LIVE ubuntu CD?
[06:23] <neverblue> or are you using the ALTERNATE?
[06:24] <edulix> neverblue: I have bunutu feisty installed in both machines, my laptop and my home PC
[06:24] <neverblue> edulix, I was asking about the ubuntu media you possess
[06:25] <aspasia> Hello everyone. I've just purchased a laptop - dell insp.1420. Ubuntu freezes about every 15 minutes. esp when loading/previewing screensavers. help?
[06:25] <neverblue> edulix, anyways, to get to the point, did the install go successful?
[06:25] <njero> aspasia, it may be related to the Dell graphics card... use non 3D screen savers and see if it helps
[06:25] <njero> I saw that on a Dimension Desktop
[06:26] <neverblue> edulix, sorry, you appear to be gone, good luck
[06:26] <edulix> no
[06:26] <Nem> Anyone here play Savage?
[06:26] <edulix> neverblue: I tell you, everything worked fine two weeks ago, but probably after an update of maybe fglrx or acpi-support or something.. THEN SUSPEND TO RAM STOPPED WORKING
[06:26] <edulix> ups sorry for the caps
[06:26] <aspasia> njero: thanks but i can't seem to change the ss as it stalls when I try
[06:27] <njero> aspasia, ahh right... I saw that too
[06:27] <neverblue> edulix, caps are not necessary
[06:27] <neverblue> edulix, answering my question is :)
[06:27] <edulix> [18:28]  <edulix> ups sorry for the caps
[06:27] <neverblue> edulix, i cannot help you unless you answer my questions...
[06:28] <njero> aspasia, I actually don't remember how to get around that, but there is a conf file somewhere that you can change to switch the screen saver (that way you don't need to see the preview)... I just don't remember what it was
[06:28] <edulix> the install successful? you mean back some months ago when I installed ubuntu? yes, it was sucessful
[06:28] <neverblue> edulix, what ubuntu media do you have?
[06:28] <mailavj> i have accidentally removed me from sudoers file , how can  i add me back
[06:28] <edulix> I told you, everything worked fine..
[06:28] <neverblue> what .iso did you download and burn
[06:29] <neverblue> edulix, what video card are you using?
[06:29] <edulix> neverblue: I have customized my installation quite a lot, I don't think that matters
[06:29] <aspasia> njero: thanx i can prob figure it out from ther
[06:29] <neverblue> mailavj, consult the 'ubuntu guide' (google it)
[06:29] <mailavj> okay
[06:29] <edulix> neverblue: ati xpress 200m
[06:29] <edulix> with latest dtriver, maybe that's causing the problem
