[01:59] <fierycleric> cjae: what file are you trying to find?
[01:59] <jrib> beakmann: upgrade from gentoo?  you just did a fresh install right?
[02:00] <cjae> and nvidia icon
[02:00] <nafis_devlpr> actually im looking for a user friendly debugger embedded IDE
[02:00] <beakmann> yes, but I conserve my home jrib
[02:00] <chrisjs169> it keeps saying SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable on /etc/init.d/networking restart or dhclient
[02:00] <fierycleric> cjae: its going to be in /usr/share .... probably
[02:00] <BMF> I'm having trouble getting my *crap* USB ADSL modem (CT-350) connection in Feisty Fawn, I followed the tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsbAdslModem/ueagle-atm but it won't work. Could anyone help?
[02:00] <cjae> tried that
[02:00] <beakmann> so, I need this ~./dir_colors (by default) or the /etc/DIR_COLORS
[02:00] <sluimers> Frogzoo, I tried /dev/sd0 and 1 how do I know which number is correct?
[02:00] <Frogzoo> sluimers: ls -l /dev/scd*
[02:01] <igmyzt> does anyone here have a radeon 9250?
[02:01] <Frogzoo> sluimers: then it's the one that doesn't show up already
[02:01] <fierycleric> cjae: whats the filename ?
[02:01] <cjae> ??
[02:01] <fierycleric> cjae: was it installed by a package?
[02:01] <kairu0> mon^rch, it does nothing :(
[02:01] <cjae> matching nvidi
[02:01] <BMF> I get to the 'pon ueagle' step, and it says 'plugin loaded' but I do not get connected. :/
[02:02] <cjae> a
[02:02] <mon^rch> kairu0: I tried :/
[02:02] <jrib> beakmann: some file you have in your home probably uses it...
[02:02] <cholera> How do I change the plugin used in ff from vlc to mplayer? I have tried sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer but videos still try to open with VLC and crash ff
[02:02] <scoobydoo28139> slart: ok i am back, i don't know how to fix sound problem.
[02:02] <fierycleric> cjae: the locate command doesnt work?
[02:02] <sluimers> Frogzoo, well I only see one.. scd0 and K3b can't find it
[02:02] <igmyzt> Anyone here have an ATI Radeon?
[02:02] <mc44> cholera: you need to remove the vlc plugin too
[02:02] <cjae> fierycleric, lots and lots of matches
[02:02] <Frogzoo> sluimers: these are both atapi DVDs ?
[02:03] <mc44> cholera: sudo apt-get remove mozilla-plugin0vlc
[02:03] <mc44> cholera: sudo apt-get remove mozilla-plugin-vlc
[02:03] <BMF> igmyzt: I do.
[02:03] <sluimers> Frogzoo, atapi DVDs?
[02:03] <Rich_li_ny> cholera: typing firefox:config in the address bar of FF may help you.
[02:03] <Frogzoo> sluimers: the interface is atapi or sata ?
[02:03] <igmyzt> BMF: What model?
[02:03] <fierycleric> cjae: for nvidia ? .... do locate nvidia |grep png ... or |grep jpg ....etc
[02:03] <Rich_li_ny> or about:config
[02:03] <sluimers> Frogzoo, eh?
[02:03] <sluimers> Frogzoo, how would I know?
[02:04] <scoobydoo28139> all my help left:(
[02:04] <Frogzoo> sluimers: what are the cables on the back of the drive? are they 2 inches wide or 1/2 an inch wide?
[02:04] <cjae> nothing I tried that fierycleric
[02:04] <sluimers> Frogzoo, it's an internal drive
[02:04] <chrisjs169> heh, googling my problem shows that i had this problem over a year ago too
[02:04] <mon^rch> which java do i want to install :/
[02:04] <cjae> would it be anything but png or jpeg
[02:05] <scoobydoo28139> I need help getting sound in ubuntu
[02:05] <cjae> png seems to be the standard fierycleric
[02:05] <Frogzoo> sluimers: you can read from both of the drives ?
[02:05] <jrib> beakmann: grep dir_colors .*bash*     and see if anything turns up
[02:05] <webodin> hi do any body know what could be a problem after a clean install mplayer and w32codecs and mozilla-firefox-plugin, i got sound but missing Visual if i trying stream or play mpeg files ?
[02:05] <fierycleric> cjae: maybe the file is not there
[02:05] <Frogzoo> sluimers: drop a CD in the drive, insert it/mount it - then 'mount' will tell you the device name
[02:05] <cjae> fierycleric, guess not thanks anyway gonna just try google
[02:06] <sluimers> Frogzoo, both? I only want to copy files from my desktop to my CDR
[02:06] <scoobydoo28139> defecacy are you from maxpc?
[02:06] <Nuktar> Hello
[02:06] <BMF> igmyzt: 9550
[02:06] <mon^rch> which java do i want to install :/
[02:06] <defecacy> scoobydoo: what's maxpc?
[02:06] <cholera> mc44: mozilla-plugin0vlc not found and mozilla-plugin-vlc not removed because `/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/components' is not empty
[02:06] <defecacy> no i'm not
[02:06] <igmyzt> BMF: Does it work good with 7.04?
[02:06] <scoobydoo28139> maximumpc
[02:07] <scoobydoo28139> magazine
[02:07] <Nuktar> hello
[02:07] <mc44> cholera: the first was a typo sorry. Did you try firefox again, I think thats just a warning, it should haev been removed
[02:07] <BMF> igmyzt: I set 7.04 up a couple of days ago, so far it's working well.
[02:07] <cholera> mc44: ok let me see
[02:07] <defecacy> scoobydoo: no i'm not
[02:07] <fierycleric> webodin: are you talking about the mplayer plugin ? .... check the vo setting in ~/.mplayer/mplayerplug-in.conf
[02:08] <defecacy> what gave you the idea?
[02:08] <Nuktar> Why does ipv6 suck in Ubuntu 7.04, it's slowing down the internet
[02:08] <scoobydoo28139> defecacy: ok was just wondering
[02:08] <webodin> ok
[02:08] <fierycleric> webodin: vo=x11 should work
[02:08] <cjae> when I start a file in bittorrent like deluge (sucks) does it allocate room for it before it dl's and subtract this from disc space monitors
[02:08] <defecacy> no worries
[02:08] <sluimers> Frogzoo, errr... I can't eject the CD
[02:09] <Frogzoo> sluimers: reboot
[02:09] <sluimers> Frogzoo, okay
[02:09] <cholera> mc44: it works, I'm new to linux and I have battled this for over a week now, who would have guessed it was that simple. thanks
[02:10] <mc44> cholera: np, ff plugins are not perfect yet
[02:10] <Matrik> cjae>  yeah, deluge allocates the space
[02:10] <chrisjs169> so how do i fix the error message?
[02:10] <Steil> my ubuntu server is for some reason filtering ssh connections from my laptop if I try to connect from my local network; however, if I try to connect to the external IP of the server it allows me to.....any ideas?
[02:10] <digital_k> cholera: all things being equal, sometimes the simplest answer is usually the best. :)
[02:10] <webodin> Fierycleric:  i'm lit'l a newbie to compile, can you be more specific
[02:10] <cjae> Matrik, thanks
[02:10] <fierycleric> Steil: the server has two ips?
[02:11] <unimatrix9> what does the rescue part of the ubuntu live cd do?
[02:11] <Steil> fierycleric: the server has the ip <IP_ADDRESS>, but it also uses my external IP (ssh requests on the external IP get forwarded to the server)
[02:11] <fierycleric> webodin: when to try to play an mpeg you see the gray box with "mplayer" in it and you hear sound but no video?
[02:11] <fierycleric> Steil: so it has two ips? or one?
[02:12] <Steil> it only has one
[02:12] <taxman> hmm running feisty from livecd. Installed xine, but it tells me there is no input plugin avail to handle dvd:/
[02:12] <cholera> digital_k: I'm afraid that after yrs of using windows I'm not accustomed to solutions being simple :)
[02:12] <taxman> is it a livecd issue?
[02:12] <digital_k> haha
[02:12] <fierycleric> Steil: ok .... so you have a router that has your external ip?
[02:12] <digital_k> understood ;)
[02:12] <unimatrix9> no taxman its an other issue
[02:12] <Steil> fierycleric: correct
[02:13] <taxman> I installed xine-plugins
[02:13] <Frogzoo> taxman: you need libdvdcss2
[02:13] <PriceChild> !dvd | taxman
[02:13] <ubotu> taxman: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[02:13] <fierycleric> Steil: so the router port forwards to the server?
[02:13] <taxman> have that already too
[02:14] <Steil> fierycleric: I can connect fine from my windows box using putty using the internal IP, but when I try from my laptop it gives me "Connection closed by <IP_ADDRESS>"
[02:14] <Steil> fierycleric: correct
[02:14] <digital_k> taxman:also try installing totem-xine
[02:14] <Frogzoo> taxman: & w32codecs ?
[02:14] <digital_k> and also libxine-extra codecs
[02:14] <taxman> do I need w32codecs? I hadn't read that guide yet, I'll try it
[02:14] <digital_k> for restricted formats, taxman, yes.
[02:14] <unimatrix9> taxman try playing an mp3 file and install all that it shows ...
[02:15] <unimatrix9> then try the dvd
[02:15] <taxman> I read the restricted formats one, didn't reallize I needed w32
[02:15] <fierycleric> Steil: but both those computers are on the network with the internal ip....
[02:15] <taxman> will do
[02:15] <sluimers> Frogzoo, I'm back
[02:15] <Steil> fierycleric: correct
[02:15] <fierycleric> Steil: so its nothing to do with external ip ....?
[02:15] <Steil> I tried changing the ip of my laptop, but that didn't help anything
[02:15] <Steil> correct
[02:15] <Frogzoo> sluimers: so what's the device name? also, check if k3b shows the drive now
[02:15] <Steil> it's just strange how i can connect from the laptop using the external ip, but not using the internal ip
[02:15] <digital_k> Steil: it sounds like your router is not autoassigning dhcp
[02:16] <webodin> Fierycleric: no quite, Mplayer don't mark any errors, i just got blue screen...
[02:16] <sluimers> Frogzoo, I need to put the cd in and type mount in the terminal to find out.. right?
[02:16] <Steil> digital_k: what do you mean?
[02:16] <Frogzoo> sluimers: sure
[02:17] <digital_k> <IP_ADDRESS> is an assigned address to a computer, your router's address should be <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:18] <chrisjs169> how can I get my Ethernet Pro 100 NIC to work?
[02:18] <sluimers> Frogzoo, this is what mount tells me http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21554/
[02:18] <webodin> hi
[02:18] <revilodraw> hi! could somebody pls tell me how to open fstab with root priviliges form the restore command line, and save the changes i make?
[02:18] <Lhademmor> what's the channel about the Ubuntu Wiki?
[02:18] <Steil> digital_k: My routers address is <IP_ADDRESS>, .101 is assigned to my server
[02:18] <webodin> i just install VLC
[02:18] <Steil> theres no problem with my router or its setup
[02:18] <chrisjs169> revilodraw: sudo nano /etc/fstab
[02:18] <chrisjs169> ?
[02:18] <webodin> and got the same problem
[02:19] <webodin> sound ok visual bluescreen...
[02:19] <digital_k> Steil: I think i may have misread your issue. :p
[02:19] <revilodraw> chrisisjs169: thank you!
[02:19] <digital_k> my apologies
[02:19] <Steil> not a problem
[02:19] <rapchee> hi
[02:19] <Frogzoo> sluimers: I see no cdrom there
[02:19] <LjL> cjae: mostly, files on Linux are allocated sparsely. i.e. the program thinks it's created a (say) 600meg files, but until something different from zeroes actually gets written to it, the space is not allocated
[02:19] <Rich_li_ny> How to I find the  path and command to run a program...  ie Java Run Time Enviroment?   I did a whereis java and this was the return usr/bin/jave usr/X11/R6/bin/java usr/bin/X11/java usr/share/java usr/share/man/man1/java.1.gz  I have been trying to set up this program since last night at 8:00pm Friday and its now 2:20 pm Saturday here :(
[02:20] <Rich_li_ny> Please help me~
[02:20] <sluimers> Frogzoo, well K3b can see it now
[02:20] <LjL> Lhademmor: i think #ubuntu-doc
[02:20] <fierycleric> Steil: it could be that it needs to do a reverse DNS lookup for the ip..... maybe ... check the logs for sshd
[02:20] <Lhademmor> LjL: Thanks
[02:20] <rapchee> im trying to install ubuntu on a macpro, with soft-raided ubuntu and dual boot, but i cannot set the raided partition to bootable, why can that be?
[02:20] <Rich_li_ny> I still cant get OO writer to work and have reinstalled everything 4 times!
[02:20] <revilodraw> could somebody who uses ntfs-config send me the contents of their fstab file?>
[02:20] <Frogzoo> sluimers: which doesn't fix your problem really, if it's just going to happen again
[02:20] <digital_k> O.o does not need java to run, it will run without it. What version did you install?
[02:21] <fierycleric> webodin:  so you sure its using the mplayer plugin.... but no sound
[02:21] <Steil> fierycleric: already checked the logs, nothings showing up for the "connection closed" attempts, only the successful connects show up in the logs
[02:21] <cjae> LjL but if  I checked my freespace it would be short the space correct
[02:21] <taxman> ok I already had everything to play mp3's and followed everything in http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html. Still same issue
[02:21] <sluimers> Frogzoo, perhaps it's because I first put the CD in and then installed K3b
[02:21] <sluimers> Frogzoo, and all the stuff to make it work
[02:21] <Rich_li_ny> The version thats comes with 6.10  I think its 2.0
[02:21] <LjL> cjae: nope, not if the files are allocated the way i said
[02:21] <digital_k> taxman: did you just install anything?
[02:21] <digital_k> you may need to restart x for the changes to initialize
[02:21] <Rich_li_ny> But the l;etter wizzard required Jave Runtime Enviroment..
[02:22] <Rich_li_ny> which I have installed.
[02:22] <digital_k> yes o.o wizards DO use java.
[02:22] <taxman> digital_k: ok, will try
[02:22] <digital_k> why do you need the wizard to write a letter? lol im curious
[02:23] <fierycleric> Steil: can you access any other services on the server ? web?
[02:23] <cjae> so would the app be writing dummy info the just to save space or am I missing space I am trying to dl a 3+ gig distro
[02:23] <cjae> Ljl
[02:23] <webodin> fierycleric: i install (almost)everything,every plugin for mplayer + just install VLC player, but result are the same SOUND ok , but NO visual
[02:23] <revilodraw> chrisjs169: how do i save the changes i made in restore mode of fstab?
[02:24] <digital_k> webodin: are you haveing issues with streaming media?
[02:24] <webodin> yeah
[02:24] <fuzzy_logic> hi people
[02:24] <digital_k> webodin: IMO, totem-xine is a better streaming media player.
[02:24] <digital_k> ymmv :)
[02:24] <webodin> now i trying play from DVD same problem
[02:24] <Frogzoo> sluimers: so what does k3b show as the device names ?
[02:24] <jad> if you are having problems playing media files, dvds etc
[02:24] <webodin> SOUND ok NO Visual
[02:24] <fierycleric> webodin: do about:config ... in the location bar in firefox ... check that mpeg is being handled by mplayer.....
[02:25] <fuzzy_logic> since i installed the kubuntu packages.. i get the kubuntu boot screen and the kubuntu login screen.. but i don't use kde at all almost.. how can i get the ubuntu login screen back?
[02:25] <sluimers> Frogzoo, same thing
[02:25] <sdac> hi,  i want to be able to play videos stored on my ubuntu desktop, from my windows laptop.  Would you recommend using something like remote desktop or would sharing of hard drives on the network be faster for video playback ?
[02:25] <LjL> cjae, i don't really know what single applications do -- there is possibly some system call that explicitly asks the filesystem to *not* use sparse allocation, maybe your client uses that
[02:25] <digital_k> fuzzy_logic: on the login screen , select options and change the session back to gnome
[02:25] <sluimers> Frogzoo, oh, and I can't make it an audio project
[02:25] <Rich_li_ny> << got disconnected..
[02:25] <digital_k> then set it to default
[02:25] <cjae> Ljl ic
[02:25] <digital_k> you will have to do the same to use the kde session again in the future as well
[02:25] <Rich_li_ny> Digityal...  I just prefer more functioality..
[02:25] <cjae> LjL, thanks
[02:25] <sluimers> Frogzoo, it's for my mom's birthday, I bought some mp3's for her
[02:26] <oscarmartinez> alguem fala portugues???
[02:26] <LjL> !pt | oscarmartinez
[02:26] <ubotu> oscarmartinez: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigado.
[02:26] <jad> go to www.videolan.org if you are having problems playing files, or dvds that should handle nearly everything you throw at it
[02:26] <oscarmartinez> k
[02:26] <jad> hope that helps someone
[02:26] <fierycleric> sdac: remote desktop would be too slow to play video.... most likely
[02:26] <Rich_li_ny> Digital:  how do I find te command for JRE?
[02:26] <fuzzy_logic> digital_k: that's not what i mean.. i mean that since i have installed the kubuntu packages, i get the kubuntu login screen.. so that screen where you can fill in your usrname and pwd says 'kubuntu' and not 'ubuntu'.. do you understrand what i mean?
[02:26] <LjL> jad, uhm, how does the VLC site help?
[02:26] <webodin> but firefox open the Mplayer ok download ok, sound ok, but still no visual
[02:26] <paul__> ooh
[02:27] <digital_k> fuzzy_logic: sorry. You will need to reconfigure to use the gdm instead of kdm.
[02:27] <jad> the vlc site helps, because people can download the player if they have files or dvds they can't view.
[02:27] <sdac> fierycleric:  my home network is 54 Mbps
[02:27] <fuzzy_logic> digital_k: how do i do that?
[02:27] <LjL> jad, err... the VLC player is available from the official repositories.
[02:27] <jad> btw at a guess to get rid of the kubuntuness
[02:27] <LjL> !info vlc | jad
[02:27] <ubotu> jad: vlc: multimedia player and streamer. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.6.release-0ubuntu4 (feisty), package size 1131 kB, installed size 3192 kB
[02:27] <LjL> jad: there is not a reason to download it in other awkward ways
[02:27] <skylight> i need to create a zip file, how?
[02:27] <revilodraw> hi! i have edited stab from recovery mode command line, yet i dont know how to save these changes? when i try i get ' error writing /etc/fstab: read-only file system"
[02:27] <skylight> it has to be .zip
[02:28] <fierycleric> sdac: yeah remote desktop is  not good for video .... using filesharing ... to share the files then play them on windows
[02:28] <LjL> skylight: sudo apt-get install zip, and then use file-roller
[02:28] <digital_k> fuzzy_logic: while logged in , open terminal and type: sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm
[02:28] <skylight> ok
[02:28] <sdac> fierycleric:  is it possible then to "securely" share my linux desktop hard disk on my internal home network ?
[02:28] <digital_k> and make sure to select GDM not kdm
[02:28] <LjL> !zip > skylight    (skylight, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:28] <jad> alright, calm down geez. you don't need to go mad over it
[02:28] <fuzzy_logic> digital_k: thanks
[02:28] <fierycleric> sdac: yes
[02:28] <digital_k> yw :)
[02:28] <sdac> fierycleric: oh ok thanks ill look at that then
[02:28] <webodin> maybe is any problems with permisions
[02:28] <chrisjs169> revilodraw: sorry, i'm not sure
[02:28] <shimete> i need some help installing wine please
[02:29] <fierycleric> sdac: good luck .... windows uses smb file sharing which is handled by samba on linux
[02:29] <flohrian> Hi to everybody.
[02:29] <digital_k> fuzzy_logic: one more thing, you can remove the kubuntu desktop, and just install kde base, which gives you just the kde environment
[02:29] <webodin> maybe i should add my user to root
[02:29] <LjL> jad: i'm not going mad, i was just puzzled seeing some unasked for and mostly wrong advice. we strive here to make people understand they should always use the repositories, and not break their systems by attempting to install stuff at random from the web...
[02:29] <digital_k> its an option
[02:29] <skylight> now how do i CREATE A ZIP file
[02:29] <sdac> fierycleric: one more thing.. why is filesharing faster than remote desktop even though with file sharing i will  still be running the file FROM the desktop... is it cos there is less info to transfer ?
[02:29] <revilodraw> chrisjs169: what i was to open it as a superuser? or is that what i already did?"
[02:29] <fuzzy_logic> digital_k: ok
[02:29] <jad> well, imo i would have thought the developers own site would be the best place for the newest version.
[02:30] <jrib> skylight: right click > create archive
[02:30] <skylight> select zip
[02:30] <LjL> webodin: or maybe not. much more likely. what is the problem?
[02:30] <jad> btw did anyone say how to get rid of kubuntu login screen?
[02:30] <jad> to change back to ubuntu?
[02:30] <digital_k> jad: sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm in terminal
[02:30] <skylight> ok i got it
[02:30] <skylight> thanks
[02:30] <digital_k> and select gdm
[02:30] <jad> thnx
[02:30] <chrisjs169> revilodraw: sudo is basically 'superuser do', so using sudo [command]  (such as nano /etc/fstab) runs it at root
[02:30] <LjL> jad: sudo apt-get install gdm; sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[02:30] <fierycleric> sdac: yeah the video file will be compressed over the network... under remote desktop the compression is much less
[02:30] <webodin> i install mplayer incl plugin + vlc incl all plugin
[02:30] <fierycleric> sdac: less datga
[02:31] <sdac> fierycleric: ok greate ill give that a try.  thanks
[02:31] <chrisjs169> I'm getting: "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable" when trying to use dhclient on my Ethernet Pro 100 NIC (rev 02) - any suggestions

[02:31] <DinCahill> hi. i somehow managed to forget my ubuntu password. I used the last resort method from the wiki and it logged me in as root. I did passwd <password> and it gave me the ok. However, I assume this changes the root password and not the one for my normal user account as I still can't login on the normal GUI boot. What should I do?
[02:32] <rasky> pelo are you here?
[02:32] <chrisjs169> shimete: run it as root
[02:32] <jrib> DinCahill: passwd USERNAME_HERE
[02:32] <shimete> i don't have access to root...
[02:32] <rasky> hey chrisjsl69
[02:32] <rasky> jrib
[02:32] <jrib> DinCahill: can you link me to the wiki page?
[02:32] <fierycleric> shimete: you need sudo first

[02:34] <revilodraw> chrisjs169: using sudo it didnt ask for my root password... i think if i can make it ask for my root passowrd it will work
[02:34] <NiceGuyUK> anyone want to volunteer to beta test my GNOME viewer for NFO files?
[02:34] <chrisjs169> revilodraw: try 'su' to turn you into root

[02:44] <webodin> hi Do anybody have try this: after clean install of VLC or Mplayer with all plugins and codecs still missing Visual, Sound play OK
[02:44] <fierycleric> NiceGuyUK: looks like it mentions something about it in release notes of a later version of mono... http://www.go-mono.com/archive/1.1.14/
[02:44] <jrib> scoobydoo28139: system -> administration -> synaptic or your favorite package manager
[02:45] <jrib> scoobydoo28139: uname -r   in a terminal will tell you the version that you are currently running by the way
[02:45] <Notten> how can i install this driver http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=47406&package_id=144429 ??? theres no readme there...
[02:45] <fierycleric> NiceGuyUK: ill try it on my feisty box
[02:45] <NiceGuyUK> fierycleric: was developed on Feisty
[02:46] <hmpedersen> I need to ask someone who's got experience with multiboot a question..
[02:46] <jrib> hmpedersen: best to just ask the channel.  If someone can help, they will answer you
[02:46] <Notten> Frogozoo theres no readme at this driver http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=47406&package_id=144429 i dont know how to install
[02:46] <webodin> hi Do anybody have try this: after clean install of VLC or Mplayer with all plugins and codecs still missing Visual, Sound play OK
[02:47] <fierycleric> NiceGuyUK: ok it works on my feisty install

[02:47] <Notten> Frogzoo theres no readme at this driver http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=47406&package_id=144429 i dont know how to install
[02:47] <jrib> webodin: what codec does the file use?
[02:47] <Parmenion> guys, bitchX or irssi?
[02:47] <fierycleric> NiceGuyUK: got any test nfos... wait i might have some :)
[02:47] <hmpedersen> What would be best? A computer setup with XP Pro and Ubuntu installed? Or would the best thing be to build a stronger computer and use vmware to run XP virtually from ubuntu?
[02:47] <jrib> Parmenion: whatever works best for you
[02:47] <scoobydoo28139> jrib: tks i didn't think you would get back to me
[02:47] <webodin> how can i find out that ?
[02:47] <zigico> how to mount ntfs partition on fedora?
[02:48] <webodin> how can i find out that ?in terminal
[02:48] <webodin> how can i find out what codecs i use in VLC that ?in terminal
[02:48] <NiceGuyUK> fierycleric: CTRL-I to invert the black and white. SOme NFOs look better one way, others the other way.
[02:48] <jrib> webodin: right click -> properties -> audio/video (or something like that)   or   mplayer -identify
[02:49] <jrib> zigico: #fedora
[02:49] <hmpedersen> jrib, yeah.. It just took some time to type the question.. I had hoped I could copy paste and put the question right after the first line.. But I couldn't paste the question :(
[02:49] <mwe> Notten: there is probably a readme file if you download and unpack the file

[02:56] <revilodraw> Hi! Im in the LiveCD, how do i edit fstab on my hard drive?
[02:56] <NiceGuyUK> fierycleric: C# and GTK# under mono (using monodevelop)
[02:56] <tondar> hey all
[02:57] <fierycleric> NiceGuyUK: stetic is the ui designer ? ... any good?
[02:57] <erUSUL> revilodraw: mount the root partition and you are done
[02:57] <NiceGuyUK> fierycleric: sometimes crashes out, so save often, but otherwise ok. Been trying to install a newer version of Monodevelop, but having problems
[02:57] <erUSUL> revilodraw: mount -t ext3 /dev/xxxx /mnt/
[02:57] <scoobydoo28139> jrib: no result just blank >

[02:58] <revilodraw> erusul: what do i type instead of xxxx? my username?
[02:59] <Kristen> Hey guys. I am wondering if anyone can help me? I want to try linux, so I am trying to install Xubuntu on my very, very old laptop. But for some reason it doesn't like Linux CD's. The original CD gave me multitudes of I/O errors, and after googling I tried the alternate CD, which froze and when left for a while gave an error message:  !! Detect and mount CD-ROM
[02:59] <Kristen> Your installation CD-ROM couldn't be mounted. This probably means that the CD-ROM was not in the drive. If so you can insert it and try again.
[02:59] <mwe> chrisjs169: bring down the interface then bring it back up at look at the output of dmesg
[02:59] <Kristen> Try again to mount the CD-ROM?
[02:59] <Kristen> Yes/No
[02:59] <jrib> scoobydoo28139: everything after the ':'
[02:59] <Kristen> Yes, and same error. Is there no way to install with the files on the HDD? The CD seems kaput, I do not have a usb flash drive large enough for the install files (unless I can use my video ipod), and the lappy does not have a floppy drive. Anyone have any suggestions?
[02:59] <balbir97> how to completely remove the apache2 and apache2-common (including conf file and all binary file like apachectl)
[02:59] <erUSUL> revilodraw: no the device corresponding to your root partition it can be sda1 or sda3 or hda1 or hda3 etc...
[02:59] <chrisjs169> mwe: thanks
[02:59] <mathewfer> Hi all, is there a way to disable destop GUI with a # comment so that it can be enabled when needed?
[02:59] <elliotjhug> Kristen: What hardware is this very old laptop running?
[03:00] <chrisjs169> mwe: bringing it up shows the same error, nothing happens in dmesg
[03:00] <MenZa> Kristen: if you have Windows installed, there's always Wubi.
[03:00] <mwe> Kristen: you can use a small flash drive using the netinstall image
[03:01] <mwe> chrisjs169: so ifconfig ethX down && ifconfig ethX up says that?
[03:01] <mwe> chrisjs169: using sudo
[03:01] <chrisjs169> mwe: yeah
[03:01] <thedarkness> hoi
[03:01] <Kristen> Mmm... I don't know what Wubi is? This old laptop is pretty bad. Intel Pentium MMX processor at 233 MHz
[03:01] <Kristen> 128 MB of RAM
[03:01] <Kristen> 3.81 GB hard drive
[03:01] <cparker> Why is it that most of the games I install from the Ubuntu repo don't automatically add themselves to the GNOME menu? I'm having trouble finding the games.
[03:01] <Kristen> The sticker on the laptop says it was design for windows NT and 95
[03:01] <mwe> chrisjs169: mmm
[03:01] <Kristen> And what is the netinstall image?
[03:02] <jrib> cparker: if they don't, it's a bug.  Please file it
[03:02] <thedarkness> how does my 5.1 sound ?????
[03:02] <Kristen> my flash drive is 512mb
[03:02] <chrisjs169> mwe: I also had this problem about a year ago, but I know the NIC works
[03:02] <scoobydoo28139> pastebin url?
[03:02] <cparker> jrib, I see. Thank you.
[03:02] <mwe> chrisjs169: dmesg|grep eth, does your nic show?
[03:02] <rasky> www.merlosistem.com
[03:02] <mwe> chrisjs169: maybe the driver for it is not loaded for some reason
[03:02] <mwe> chrisjs169: how did you fix it a year ago?
[03:02] <fierycleric> NiceGuyUK: looks good ... finally i look at NFO art under linux :)
[03:02] <mathewfer> Can someone tell me how to disable the desktop GUI temparaly?
[03:02] <scoobydoo28139> ubotu: pastebin
[03:02] <ubotu> 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)
[03:02] <chrisjs169> mwe: I didn't =/
[03:03] <mwe> oh
[03:03] <mwe> chrisjs169: dmesg|grep eth, does your nic show?
[03:03] <chrisjs169> mwe: it does appear in dmesg
[03:03] <revilodraw> erusul: ok i have mounted root partition, now what?

[03:03] <tondar> guys my top panel is missed up, i did killall gnome-panel still the same
[03:03] <tondar> ?
[03:03] <tondar> what should I do ?
[03:03] <fierycleric> NiceGuyUK: you should get a ubuntu package made for it
[03:04] <NiceGuyUK> fierycleric: I wanna make it more stable, easier to install and add color support first
[03:04] <revilodraw> tondar: delete it and ake anotjher one....everything is there
[03:04] <scoobydoo28139> jrib:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21558/
[03:04] <mwe> chrisjs169: are you sure it's using the correct driver? sometimes, though seldom, a wrong driver gets loaded
[03:04] <chrisjs169> mwe: i'm not sure if i'm using the correct driver.  what driver do you suggest I use?
[03:05] <fierycleric> NiceGuyUK: anything else you want me test about the program?
[03:05] <mwe> chrisjs169: i don't know the card ;)
[03:05] <jrib> scoobydoo28139: and how many options do you still have in grub for ubuntu?  You should have 4 or 5 (2 kernels and recovery mode for each as well as memtest)
[03:05] <NiceGuyUK> fierycleric: did the invert colors work for you ?
[03:05] <Kristen> elliotjhug: Do you have a link for it? Like I said, I have a 512 MB USB flash drive. The laptop can connect to my network, and therefore the 'net with a dongle.
[03:05] <scoobydoo28139> 2k's,2recovery's
[03:05] <elliotjhug> Kristen: According to ubuntu.com the CDs require 256MB of RAM. Its possible you'd want to use a smaller distro instead. Since 2gb of space is required to actually install it.
[03:05] <mwe> chrisjs169: lspci | grep Eth
[03:05] <jrib> scoobydoo28139: you should keep that as it is, those are good to have
[03:06] <scoobydoo28139> jrib: and one xp dir
[03:06] <Anthon1> when I try to boot the 7.10 live cd, all I see is corrupted graphics at the point when the desktop is supposed to load
[03:06] <tim__b> Anyone knows how to change max logins of a user at the same time using OpenSSH ?
[03:06] <Kristen> elliotjhug: I am installing Xubuntu, which claims to require only 64 MB of RAM...
[03:06] <fierycleric> NiceGuyUK: yeah they did, one thing tho when you try to open a file you dont have access to it crashes :)
[03:06] <elliotjhug> Kristen: Ah, Alright. Give me a mo.
[03:06] <tondar> revilodraw: delete it? will every thing be there?
[03:06] <mathewfer> can someone help me with the Ubuntu desktop GUI question?
[03:06] <chrisjs169> mwe: 00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100]  (rev 02)
[03:06] <NiceGuyUK> fierycleric: ah, will catch that error tidily then, thanks for the hint
[03:07] <scoobydoo28139> jrib: can you give me the comand for editing grub so xp is default?
[03:07] <Kristen> elliotjhug: Sure thing. :) Thank-you, btw. And excuse my lack of IRC abilities. ;)
[03:07] <tondar> revilodraw: fixed
[03:07] <tondar> ;)
[03:07] <revilodraw> tondar: delete the top panel, rigt click on bottom panel, and click new panel...drag it to the top, and add everything you want to it..it is all there, but will frustrate you to find it lol
[03:07] <Anthon1> when I try to boot the 7.10 live cd, all I see is corrupted graphics at the point when the desktop is supposed to load, does anyone knowwhy this might be?
[03:07] <elliotjhug> Anyone know where Kristen can find a netinstall for xubuntu?
[03:07] <jrib> scoobydoo28139: sure, 'gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst'.  In there you will see a line that starts with the word "default" (it may be commented).  After "default", put the number that corresponds to xp's position on the grub list.  Note that the first line counts as line 0, the second as line 1, etc.
[03:07] <revilodraw> tondar: goood!
[03:08] <scoobydoo28139> jrib: tks brb
[03:08] <r_> can anyone help with kNode please
[03:08] <NiceGuyUK> fierycleric: thanks for your help mate. I gotta go do chores for the Mrs now :-(
[03:08] <mwe> chrisjs169: gotta go for now, bbl
[03:08] <revilodraw> Im in live cd and need to open fstab from my hard drive! i have mounted the root partition, now what?
[03:08] <gregshallard> anthon1, did you check the disk for errors?
[03:08] <Anthon1> yeah
[03:08] <Anthon1> and the image
[03:09] <gregshallard> hmmm
[03:09] <fierycleric> NiceGuyUK: Ok .... no problem...
[03:09] <elliotjhug> revilodraw: You mounted it to /mnt/ right? go there and browse to the fstab.  Can i make it install from an ftp server instead of the cd ?
[03:10] <elliotjhug> Kristen: I can't find a netinstall for xubuntu, you might want to make sure your CD has been burned properly. Theres a CD check utility on the disk. It should work perfectly on your laptop
[03:10] <r_> can anyone help with kNode please
[03:10] <elliotjhug> revilodraw: No probs
[03:10] <tondar> revilodraw: you know anything about smart folders?
[03:11] <Kristen> elliotjhug: Heh, "should" being the word here, right? I attempted to install SuSe about a year ago, and recall having the same problems. I'll try the checksum right now, though.
[03:11] <tondar> revilodraw: this is an option in osx, I want to know if there is a port to gnome for it
[03:11] <tondar> ?
[03:11] <elliotjhug> Kristen: Yup, "should" is the word. Though I doubt a year old suse would go on that laptop nicely at all.
[03:11] <TakeOut{u}> tondar
[03:11] <TakeOut{u}> i'm not sure
[03:11] <TakeOut{u}> maybe try beagle
[03:12] <TakeOut{u}> its a ocntect based search
[03:12] <TakeOut{u}> *context
[03:12] <frandavid100> hi guys
[03:12] <balbir97> how to create a Makefile, and configure
[03:12] <TakeOut{u}> balbir97, ./configure make make install
[03:12] <tondar> TakeOut{u}: yeah
[03:12] <frandavid100> I'm trying to create an FTP or SSH server, but I know absolutely NOTHING about the issue.
[03:12] <TakeOut{u}> err, ./configure  && make && make install
[03:12] <frandavid100> can you point me to a good guide or something?
[03:12] <TakeOut{u}> well
[03:12] <TakeOut{u}> the ssh part is easy
[03:13] <tondar> TakeOut{u}: already tried that, not the thing I want
[03:13] <IdleOne> !enter | TakeOut{u}
[03:13] <ubotu> TakeOut{u}: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[03:13] <TakeOut{u}> sorry IdleOne
[03:13] <IdleOne> no problem
[03:13] <TakeOut{u}> http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu_6.06 , that should help Tondar
[03:14] <balbir97> TakeOut{u}: I have written a small "C" program and want to distribute in the form of tar.gz I guess I need to include configure and Makefile.. how?
[03:14] <smoke_> #ubuntu-it
[03:14] <tondar> TakeOut{u}: hmmm, !!!
[03:14] <Kristen> elliotjhug: mmm.. I'm afraid it's doing it again. It said it was checking for CD hardware, ran a few things, then froze on this blue screen as it did when attempting to install. CD keeps spinning up and down, no HDD activity. Exactly the same... last time it took about 2 hours before it gave me the error.
[03:14] <balbir97> TakeOut{u}: I have only myprogram.c README and Copyright file
[03:14] <tondar> TakeOut{u}: come on man
[03:14] <perlmonkey> balbir97: what does your little C program do?
[03:14] <TakeOut{u}> i sent you that link, that should work
[03:15] <webodin> do any one know how do i configure VLC in command line ?
[03:15] <scoobydoo28139> j where did ya go?
[03:15] <elliotjhug> Kristen: It might be a corrupt download or something. The CD check should run with no problems, but may be broken with the rest of the disk.
[03:15] <natali> hi
[03:15] <perlmonkey> natali: bonjour
[03:15] <tondar> TakeOut{u}: it has a really cool feature though, it lets you define a keyword for your smart folder, after that every file or document that contains that key will be automatically moved to the folder (smart)
[03:16] <tondar> TakeOut{u}: so you dont have to worry about placing your documents or files in the right place, it does it for ya
[03:16] <tondar> cool ha
[03:16] <tondar> ?
[03:16] <Kristen> elliotjhug: I doubt it. This is the same kind of thing it did when I tried to install SuSe last year. I suspect the CD drive is just too old. The download should not be corrupt, since I downloaded off a torrent...
[03:16] <TakeOut{u}> the location doesn't matter so much, you can use search operators to find what you want
[03:17] <tondar> TakeOut{u}: does the link explain that?
[03:17] <TakeOut{u}> that link was for frandavid100, i got confused
[03:17] <balbir97> perlmonkey: it's a small utility written in see, like crating a dynamic URL!
[03:17] <tondar> TakeOut{u}: yeah but you have all your stuff in the right place, not scattered
[03:17] <TakeOut{u}> !info beagle
[03:17] <ubotu> beagle: indexing and search tool for your personal data. In component main, is optional. Version <IP_ADDRESS>-0ubuntu4 (feisty), package size 883 kB, installed size 3892 kB
[03:17] <balbir97> perlmonkey: it's a small utility written in C* :)
[03:17] <tondar> TakeOut{u}: have that and using it already
[03:17] <frandavid100> thanks TakeOut{u}

[03:18] <vebbemann>
[03:18] <vebbemann> lll
[03:18] <elliotjhug> Kristen: Ah, well sorry I couldn't help you further. It could be that a better option would be a distro designed for older systems. But they will be nowhere near as user friendly. Or just work (tm). Anywho, I gtg.
[03:18] <IdleOne> vebbemann, please dont do that
[03:18] <jrib> !no | vebbemann
[03:18] <ubotu> vebbemann: Hvis du vil diskutere Ubuntu paa norsk, venligst gaa til #ubuntu-no. Takk!
[03:18] <vebbemann> koffor?
[03:18] <scoobydoo28139> jrib: ok i fixed my boot
[03:19] <Kristen> elliotjhug: Sure thank you for trying, I appreciate it. :)
[03:19] <jrib> scoobydoo28139: great
[03:19] <perlmonkey> i like a challenge :P
[03:19] <vebbemann> I am new here
[03:19] <k31th> guys iv added a soundblaster into my ubuntu box
[03:19] <tondar> vebbemann: welcom
[03:19] <jrib> vebbemann: welcome, english only here though
[03:19] <tondar> welcome*
[03:19] <k31th> how do i config it
[03:19] <scoobydoo28139> jrib: thanks! if ya feel up  to it maybe you can help me get sound too:)
[03:19] <kaukx> what means "Error "I/O error" while copying "/media/cdr...atomy!.pdf".? never seen one,and dvd isn corrupted
[03:19] <k31th> i half expected ubuntu to pick it up
[03:19] <vebbemann> I come from Norway
[03:19] <k31th> on boot tbh.
[03:19] <jrib> scoobydoo28139: best to ask the channel, I don't much about sound
[03:20] <vebbemann> #hemmis
[03:20] <vebbemann> fck
[03:20] <IdleOne> !ohmy | vebbemann
[03:20] <ubotu> vebbemann: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[03:21] <scoobydoo28139> channel...I had a sound blaster live card installed, took it out and am using on board REALTEK sound now: but i have no sound,,any sugjestions?
[03:21] <IdleOne> !sound
[03:21] <ubotu> 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
[03:21] <Kristen> I have found this guide to a net install: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/WindowsServerNetboot
[03:21] <Kristen> However it's a wee bit beyond me. Is there no automatic way to do this? Or someone willing to talk me through it? :)
[03:21] <gregshallard> How do you write drivers?
[03:21] <webodin> hi, maybe somebody have a idea for why, after clean install my mplayer or vlc do not show visual,sound is ok
[03:21] <perlmonkey> good question
[03:21] <kaukx> what means "Error "I/O error" while copying "/media/cdr...atomy!.pdf".? never seen one,and dvd isn corrupted???
[03:21] <perlmonkey> how does Ubuntu manage kernel driver modules?
[03:22] <VSpike> kristen, I have exactly the same problem with an old laptop
[03:22] <k31th> how do i setup my soundcard in ubuntu its not detecting my soundblaster
[03:22] <IdleOne> perlmonkey, #ubuntu-dev is a good place to ask
[03:22] <IdleOne> but be patient
[03:22] <perlmonkey> I get the impression this channel is for beginners, low-level users?
[03:22] <Kristen> VSpike: Ah, we're in the same boat then? And you haven't found a fix?
[03:23] <k31th> perlmonkey: pretty much
[03:23] <balbir97> how to get to know the status of the service (like "chkconfig httpd status" in RedHat)
[03:23] <perlmonkey> ok
[03:23] <IdleOne> perlmonkey, no but dev questions should go to the devs
[03:23] <VSpike> kristen: I found that older kernels seemed to work OK.  For example, I tried "Damn Small Linux", a very small Live CD distro, and it worked fine...
[03:23] <perlmonkey> IdleOne: how is that a dev question? installing or loading a driver module is routine in Linux eh
[03:23] <fuzzyBSc> Has anyone here had experience debugging a pam setup for the thinkfinger fingerprint scanning software? :)
[03:23] <Kristen> VSpike: M'kay. I'll just have to poke around. :)
[03:24] <VSpike> Kristen: None of the {X,K}Ubuntu live CD's would work, because not enough RAM....
[03:24] <IdleOne> perlmonkey, ohh I missunderstood, thought you wanted to know how to write drivers
[03:24] <gregshallard> I do.
[03:24] <perlmonkey> IdleOne: oh :)
[03:24] <VSpike> Kristen: I found that an Edgy alternate CD would install OK though
[03:24] <gregshallard> I need one for a Creative Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor.
[03:24] <Kristen> VSpike: Well, Xubuntu is supposed to be designed for older systems, and requires 64mb of ram and recommended at 128 MB
[03:24] <perlmonkey> do you guys use the normal module-assistant, or does Ubuntu have its own module manager?
[03:25] <VSpike> Kristen: I've now broken it by upgrading to feisty (over the network in the usual way), and it boots and everything but the CD drive doesn't work.. and worse, the system hangs up every time anything tries to access it
[03:25] <perlmonkey> Kristen: did you cross over from Debian?
[03:25] <gregshallard> There has been some isues with upgrading the Fiesty from Edgy?
[03:25] <VSpike> Kristen: Once installed yes, but the Live CD's always require more RAM to run, because they load the whole OS into a RAM disk
[03:26] <Anathema> hey guys, does anyone know how i can get back the bottom bar
[03:26] <VSpike> Kristen: You will definitely need to use the "alternative" install CD's whatever ubuntu distro you go for, I think
[03:26] <Kristen> perlmonkey: I believe that's another version? I have never successfully installed any Linux distro. My old laptop is running WinXP.
[03:26] <Anathema> i removed it and now i dunno how to get it back
[03:26] <perlmonkey> Kristen: oh
[03:26] <Frogzoo> Anathema: log out & back in ?
[03:26] <fuzzyBSc> I have added the following line to my pam.d/common_auth file: auth sufficient pam_thinkfinger.so, and added the try_first_pass option to the pam_unix.so line. However, pam does not appear to be asking for a fingerprint.
[03:26] <Kristen> VSpike: I'm using the Alternate install disk. :)
[03:26] <Frogzoo> Anathema: otherwise, add a new panel
[03:26] <fuzzyBSc> What I would really like to know is... Is there anything I need to do to get pam to reload? Alternatively, where would the error messages (if any) be coming out?
[03:27] <VSpike> Kristen: OK.. does it fail after the first few screens of questions, when it tries to detect and mount the cd drive and install packages?
[03:27] <fuzzyBSc> I don't see anything obvious in the system logs.
[03:27] <GrueTamer> Anathema: right click on a panel you do have and click on add new panel
[03:27] <Anathema> frogzoo, thanks a lot
[03:27] <Anathema> thanks gruetamer, but i got it =)
[03:28] <GrueTamer> alright
[03:28] <GrueTamer> your welcome :)
[03:28] <VSpike> Kristen: try DSL just for kicks - it's a tiny download.  Also I'd suggest trying an edgy install, and if that is already gone from the mirrors, try 6.06 LTS instead
[03:28] <Kristen> VSpike: Yes, that's about it. Just after configuring the keyboard layout, it sits at a blue screen, with the CD spinning up and down, no HDD activity, for about 2 hours, before it gives me an error message about not being able to mount the CD-ROM.
[03:28] <VSpike> Kris
[03:28] <Zorlin> Good day people! Who needs help?
[03:29] <VSpike> Kristen: the thing is, the kernel in feisty handles CD support differently from before, using different modules I think
[03:29] <Kristen> VSpike: What do you mean by DSL?
[03:29] <chrisjs169> Zorlin: I do =)
[03:29] <GrueTamer> Kristen: he means damn small linux
[03:29] <VSpike> Kristen: Damn Small Linuix
[03:29] <fuzzyBSc> Zorlin: Do you have any experience with pam modules? :)
[03:29] <VSpike> yeah.. that :)
[03:29] <Kristen> Ah.. :P
[03:29] <Zorlin> FuzzyBSC: No, sorry
[03:29] <Zorlin> Chrisjs169: Whats your problem?
[03:29] <fuzzyBSc> Ok, thanks Zorlin.
[03:29] <Trickser> hi, i updated edgy to feisty but i am having problems with my old Nvidia Geforce 440 card.
[03:29] <VSpike> http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/
[03:29] <Trickser> It seems to be a conflict in linux-restricted-modules with the new nvidia modules
[03:29] <gregshallard> Im using pretty much the same card
[03:29] <Kristen> VSpike: Sooo... Edgy, or 6.06?
[03:29] <chrisjs169> Zorlin: well, i've got two problems, but i think one will solve the other - how do I change the driver for a NIC?
[03:29] <Zorlin> fuzzy: you're welcome, sorry i can't help solve your problem
[03:30] <VSpike> Kristen: pretty sure you canm install on a pen drive too.. no need to even use a blank CD :)
[03:30] <kazol> Has anyone here installed sensors-applet?
[03:30] <Zorlin> Chrisjs169: I'm not entirely sure
[03:30] <gregshallard> You got the restricted drivers enabled?
[03:30] <arthanix> anyone here has experience getting a highpoint rocketraid 2300 to work on either ubuntu or debian?
[03:30] <kazol> How do I run sensors-applet?
[03:30] <Kristen> VSpike: I read about installing with a flash drive, but my flash is only 512mb.
[03:30] <VSpike> Kristen: well, edgy worked for me .. just that in theory, i has now been replaced by feisty so i don't know for sure you can download it.  6.06 LTS *should* also work, if your problem is like mine
[03:30] <Trickser> gregshallard: yes, i think so
[03:31] <Trickser> but i see only a blank screen
[03:31] <Trickser> but the server starts
[03:31] <Kristen> VSpike: Alright, well i'm going to go download Edgy if possible, and see if that works. Not to mention get some breakfast, lol. Thanks for the advice! :)
[03:32] <VSpike> Kristen: no problem.  I'm trying to pursue a solution via the bug list.. maybe it will cover yours too.  Is yours a dell, btw?
[03:32] <Kristen> VSpike: Yes, it is. An ooollld Dell, but a Dell nonetheless. :)
[03:33] <Kristen> VSpike: Latitude CP.
[03:33] <Bitmess> is KDE-Look.org gone?
[03:33] <Anathema> gnome-look is also down
[03:33] <Lokkie> Hi.
[03:33] <GrueTamer> hi Lokkie
[03:33] <Lokkie> Any server to go with tihs chan?
[03:33] <VSpike> Kristen: this might be useful.. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/minimal
[03:33] <perlmonkey> why does Ubuntu have so many security vunerabilities raised against packages?
[03:34] <Lokkie> I cant figure out how to use Hamichi!

[03:34] <Lokkie> I cant open any servers
[03:34] <bluefox83> perlmonkey, pardon?
[03:34] <VSpike> Kristen: this is a CPI D300XT

[03:34] <Lokkie> D:
[03:34] <San__> Hey Peeps.  Here's a challenge: just upgraded to Feisty from Edgy.  All is well, but I don't get to the login prompt (can login remotely).  Thoughts?  The startup sequence stops right after 'running local boot scripts /etc/rc.local'
[03:35] <perlmonkey> bluefox83: there's like over 400 security vunerabilities posted on the Ubuntu USN web page
[03:35] <VSpike> Kristen: you may find a problem with coloured snow appearing on the display .. seems to be a bug in the X driver, and can also cause a freeze... lemme see if I can find the URL with the workaround, you may need it
[03:35] <bluefox83> perlmonkey, holly crap :O
[03:35] <Kristen> VSpike: Interesting we are both having a similar problem on an old dell, hey?
[03:36] <bluefox83> ew bots :X
[03:36] <VSpike> Kristen: if you get a chance, go to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/115505 and register (if not already) and just add a quick "me too with a similar machine"
[03:37] <Kristen> VSpike: Cool, I will.
[03:37] <VSpike> Kristen: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/X11R6.8.0/doc/neomagic.4.html
[03:38] <Lokkie> Hey
[03:38] <VSpike> Kristen: if you see coloured snow in X and maybe get some hangs too, try that
[03:38] <Lokkie> Can anyon help me find a good server?
[03:38] <IndyGunFreak> A good server
[03:38] <IndyGunFreak> ?
[03:38] <Lokkie> For Moparscape.
[03:38] <Kristen> VSpike: Thankee. Assuming I get there. ;)

[03:39] <dazjorz> Hello
[03:39] <dazjorz> I need to run an application with Java 1.5
[03:39] <dazjorz> but my `java' is 1.4.2
[03:39] <Anathema> does anyone know if theres a songbird theme for gtk or emerald?
[03:39] <nelsonuwp_> i'm having a problemwith my wireless, I can only connect to a host when i restart my computer
[03:39] <dazjorz> I have sun-java5-bin installed, how do I use java5 ?
[03:39] <Anathema> songbird dove theme?
[03:39] <sayers> !java
[03:39] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[03:39] <Frogzoo> dazjorz: sudo update-alternatives java
[03:39] <IdleOne> !java | dazjorz
[03:39] <ubotu> dazjorz: please see above
[03:40] <VSpike> Kristen: Indeed .. good luck!  I know I have better things to do really, especially since the battery in this thing is dead, but it's a really solidly built old laptop and it feels too good to chuck out.. and part of the appeal of linux for me always was the ability to revive old hardware.  Plus, you learn a lot
[03:40] <sayers> And on that it tells you how to pick which JRE to use
[03:40] <sayers> :)
[03:40] <dazjorz> Frogzoo: update-alternatives: unknown argument `java'
[03:40] <kazol> How do I use hddtemp with sensors-applet?
[03:40] <Frogzoo> dazjorz: sudo update-alternatives --config java
[03:40] <kazol> Hddtemp is working fine, but I need a plugin for gkrellm or sensors-applet.
[03:41] <asaka> kazol, you have sata hdd and running feisty?
[03:41] <Kristen> VSpike: Definitely. I want to TRY linux, and if it works out well, a friend will be able to use it for work! :) This barebones install guide looks promising, I am gonna try that. Anywho, I have to run now. Thanks for your help! :)
[03:41] <dazjorz> Frogzoo++ # Thanks!
[03:41] <asaka> kazol, cause there seems to be a problem with this combination and hddtemp reading smart values off the hdd
[03:41] <kazol> asaka: I have EIDE on Feisty, I get the temp. running "sudo hddtemp /dev/sda and b"
[03:42] <San__> Ok, this solved it.. interesting: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/5621
[03:42] <sayers> In Gnome, when I right click the desktop and go to Create Document, there are no templates installed. How do I install them...
[03:42] <kazol> asaka: Combination of hddtemp and what other program?
[03:42] <San__> Guess that needs to be added to the upgrade script
[03:42] <asaka> kazol, then its just configuring problem. gkrellm needs iirc the hddtemp to run in daemon mode and telnets to it to get hdd temp values
[03:43] <asaka> kazol, you might want to try ksensors also. it has a panel in where it shows all temps/voltages/fans etc, much like old motherboard monitor in windows
[03:43] <kazol> asaka: I know there is a plugin for it, but I had to compile it! I'll search on google for howto run the daemon.
[03:44] <webodin> hi
[03:44] <asaka> kazol, there's no need for plugin, when you install hddtemp, the package found in repositories, it asks you if you want to run it as daemon
[03:44] <webodin> do any body have a idea for how do i resolve that problem:
[03:44] <asaka> kazol, try reinstalling
[03:44] <kazol> asaka: ok, I'll try it, thanks.
[03:45] <webodin> i install vlc and mplayer incl all codecs and plug in

[03:53] <Parmenion> someone has definitely come across this issue before
[03:53] <nullkuhl> paramenion, already tried them but its not dynamic enough,, they always tell to update the driver and so on,, i cant even access the installation cause of this no screens found error

[03:59] <pravinconda> thanks a bunch parmenion
[03:59] <chrisjs169> (sorry for the spam)
[03:59] <asaka> nullkuhl, anyhow run this command sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , select driver for graphics card vesa and select low res 1024x768 or so, then you can install ati's driver and increase res
[03:59] <chrisjs169> but I fixed my NIC problem :D
[03:59] <Parmenion> pravinconda, you need to use the latest ndiswrapper sources
[03:59] <Stormx2> kbrooks: Ctrl + Alt + Backspace doesn't work?
[03:59] <vox754> latest stable ndiswrapper is 1.44
[03:59] <pravinconda> really
[03:59] <Parmenion> compile them, and use Wicd
[03:59] <Parmenion> yep
[03:59] <pravinconda> where did you get the driver
[03:59] <Parmenion> from compaq website
[03:59] <kbrooks> Stormx2, no.
[03:59] <kbrooks> Stormx2, my monitor is ok atm
[03:59] <pravinconda> when you se Wicd what is that
[03:59] <Stormx2> kbrooks: is it after periods of inactivity, or just at random?
[04:00] <Parmenion> its a network manager pravinconda
[04:00] <kbrooks> Stormx2, i don't know.
[04:00] <pravinconda> oh okay
[04:00] <misled> I have java 6 installed on my computer.. how do I Find the command to run it?  I need this to configure OOo.
[04:00] <pravinconda> parmenion, question
[04:00] <zhanghui> anyone install qtpoia at ubuntu?
[04:00] <Parmenion> it gets my card to work, while the bundled network manager doesnt
[04:00] <Parmenion> yeah, shoot
[04:00] <Stormx2> misled: 'which java'
[04:00] <pravinconda> pramenion, i think i have the latest version of ndiswrapper but it don't even load the drivers for me with this method
[04:01] <misled> Its java6.. when I type java at a system prompt I can see its installed.
[04:01] <pravinconda> parmenion, i think i have the latest version of ndiswrapper but it don't even load the drivers for me with this method
[04:01] <Edulix> hi
[04:01] <kbrooks> Stormx2, it could be both
[04:01] <misled> I just need to know ehere the JRE is located on my pc.
[04:01] <Parmenion> pravinconda, you installed from the repos right ?
[04:01] <kbrooks> Stormx2, one of them, or neither
[04:01] <pravinconda> nope
[04:01] <pravinconda> when to the website
[04:01] <Monk-eLive> The Desktop CD Install fails to create an ext3 partition. It just throws an error and quits and asks me to try it again. How do I fix this?
[04:01] <Parmenion> the repos version doesnt work with our cards
[04:02] <pravinconda> picked up ndiswrapper-1.43.tar.gz

[04:02] <hmpedersen> Does anyone know a place that compares virtualbox and vmware?
[04:02] <stefg> Monk-eLive: what error?
[04:03] <Monk-eLive> stefg, it just says it failed and thats it.
[04:03] <misled> I have been trying to figure this out for a total of  16 hours now :(
[04:03] <kbrooks> Stormx2, no, i'll look. where is the xorg log
[04:03] <Stormx2> Monk-eLive: if you hit "details" it will show the command its running. Try running that in a terminal?
[04:03] <stefg> Monk-eLive: can you paste a 'sudo fdisk -l' listing to pastebin?
[04:03] <thirdalbum> sdac, yes the HAL update should be completely safe, and I recommend that you install it.
[04:04] <Parmenion> pravinconda, i used this tutorial ... just a moment, ill link it to you in a few minutes
[04:04] <Frogzoo> Monk-eLive: you could try clearing the mbr
[04:04] <Stormx2> kbrooks: /var/log
[04:04] <Monk-eLive> Frogzoo, how to do that from the livecd?

[04:05] <sdac> is that normal reading or is it very slow ?

[04:13] <kbrooks> Monk-eLive, i dont believe you
[04:13] <peepsalot> anyone know how to arrange icons on desktop in xfce?
[04:13] <CheshireViking> hmpedersen, no probs, i thought that had the advice on it on how to install
[04:13] <Monk-eLive> kbrooks, and?
[04:13] <kbrooks> Monk-eLive, but it depends on the system.
[04:13] <nullkuhl> cheshireviking..hello
[04:13] <Monk-eLive> kbrooks, _why_ would I lie.....
[04:13] <stefg> Monk-eLive: no... the kernel decides wether it takes libata or not, so leave it as the kernel wants it. What comes to mind, too, is that the installer might be adapted to have an extended partiton.... so /dev/hda5 and 6)
[04:13] <kbrooks> Monk-eLive, you didn't
[04:14] <Anathema> hey, can anyone tell me how to use .ico files in gnome?
[04:14] <Anathema> or how to add them manually
[04:14] <Monk-eLive> stefg, I am going to run Frogzoo's command, reboot and see if that fixes it ok?
[04:14] <Mr680x0^Ubuntu> can I use Emerald Themer without installing Beryl??
[04:14] <nullkuhl> cheshireviking helloo
[04:14] <stefg> Monk-eLive: ok, let's see
[04:14] <Heroin> hallo everyone :) ok can i have 1 ubuntu server and three desktops, and have the home folders located on the server? so i can login on any of the three desktops with any of the logins
[04:15] <CheshireViking> nullkuhl, i've not got any experience with ati graphics, the only suggestion I can think of is to change the driver to "vesa" in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and see if you can get the window manager up and running
[04:15] <[Meta] > I can't get UnRar to work.
[04:15] <[Meta] > It keeps giving me errors.
[04:15] <stefg> !rar

[04:15] <Misled> Is theer a wild card I can use to find java since I dont know the version?
[04:16] <stefg> [Meta] : password protected rar-files cannot be handled by unrar-free afaik
[04:16] <Frogzoo> Misled: apt-cache search java
[04:16] <[Meta] > I don't need a password protected thingy.
[04:16] <Misled> frog trying it now
[04:16] <kbrooks> Frogzoo, not enough
[04:16] <Anathema> hm noone an idea how to use these icons?
[04:17] <[Meta] > Ah... perhaps it's the spaces in the file name
[04:17] <ra21vi> hi
[04:17] <kbrooks> Misled, just a minute.
[04:17] <kazol> asaka: There are no sensors visible, only a textBox where I can enter the MBmon Daemon Port.
[04:17] <Goticaa> Hey i get this error whenb i try to open synaptic.. how do i fix it?  E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

[04:17] <skidrock> how do i finish up this java installation?            --
[04:18] <Kunk> Hi. Wondering if anyone knows how to fix the position of any window in 6.10 Gnome?
[04:18] <Misled> Frogzoo: Wow....  there like a LOT of lines of stuff here. LOL  Ok Now all I have to do is se where it is.
[04:18] <stefg> Goticaa: do what you're being told? run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' ?
[04:18] <Frogzoo> Misled: it's either sun-java5-jre or sun-java6-jre
[04:18] <[Meta] > This isn't helping, guys.
[04:18] <[Meta] > It STILL won't unrar
[04:19] <Tom47> ask! > ra21vi:
[04:19] <[Meta] > unrar x "Filepath/file.rar"
[04:19] <stefg> [Meta] : afaik unrar-free only works for older rar archives, have you tried the beer-free rar?
[04:19] <[Meta] > That's what I'm typing, except with my own filepath and name.
[04:19] <kbrooks> is there a split delimiter command?
[04:20] <[Meta] > No. Eesh. I just want to open the freaking rar.
[04:20] <kbrooks> Misled, wait
[04:20] <Misled> Frogzoo: TY  I should be able to figure it out now.. (hopefully)  ,..  Thanks againg for your help
[04:20] <kbrooks> Misled, hold on
[04:20] <Misled> Kbrooks:  OK wiating
[04:20] <kbrooks> Misled, dpkg -L those packages
[04:20] <ra21vi> Tom47: yukk, there was other guy on my computer, lol, he said hi and left :|
[04:20] <Misled> ok
[04:20] <kbrooks> Misled, that he gave you
[04:21] <[Meta] > Never mind, I'll use the bloody Windows machine for it.
[04:21] <Misled> kbrooks: ok
[04:21] <freezone> where in ubuntu are the fonts arial, times new roman, etc?
[04:21] <kbrooks> Misled, like, dpkg -L sun-java5-jre sun-java6-jre
[04:21] <[Meta] > !fonts
[04:21] <ubotu> Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer

[04:21] <[Meta] > !fonts > freezone
[04:22] <rmd_> is there a program other than VLC that can play FLV files?  VLC is screwing up on some, throwing an error about the wrong codec...
[04:22] <Goticaa> Thanks for the help
[04:22] <[Meta] > Totem can play them.
[04:22] <kbrooks> Misled, if one of the packages is installed, it should output a list of files installed by the package
[04:22] <[Meta] > I think you need certain codecs for it, though, rmd_
[04:22] <`tim> hi all.. i have a small appliance that i am wanting to install Ubuntu on. Problem is there is no CD rom. I would like to install from floppy (netboot of some sort) or are there other good options?
[04:23] <kbrooks> Misled, figure out which one is the installed package, and then do
[04:23] <freezone> do i have to re-login to be able to use the new fonts in openoffice?
[04:23] <[Meta] > And I can't remember which ones, I installed them the other day.
[04:23] <[Meta] > freezone: Probably.
[04:23] <Tom47> !install
[04:23] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - See also !automate
[04:23] <kbrooks> Misled, dpkg -L <installed java package> | grep bin
[04:23] <`tim> Tom47: thanks let me check that out
[04:23] <kbrooks> Misled, that should help out
[04:25] <Frogzoo> Misled: if you go in oow's options->java - it automatically picks up the installed java
[04:25] <boxrocks> can anybody tell me why my client hangs after a while, only when at higher resolutions? (1280x1024=crash, 1024x768=fine)
[04:25] <elnimr> i cant getr skype to work in ubuntu
[04:26] <Sivart0> boxrocks: because your hardware/monitor cant handle that resolution?
[04:27] <Misled> Frogzoo: OK I typed the command.. I can see its installed.  But  OOo doesnt automatically pick it up and I have to manually enter where it is located.
[04:27] <boxrocks> hummmm, it's a new LCD, running on a ~high-end DevonIT thin-client
[04:27] <Frogzoo> boxrocks: you need to set horizsync/vertrefresh in xorg.conf to stop the monitor being overdriven
[04:27] <Frogzoo> Misled: odd, java5 is picked up for me here
[04:27] <Misled> Its eiter usr/lib/jvm or usr/share/mime or something like that
[04:28] <stefg> boxrocks: not enough shared vmem assigned to the video?
[04:28] <mIgUeL_sAn> !wine
[04:28] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[04:28] <Misled> Frogzoo: Mine shows /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-<IP_ADDRESS>/jre/
[04:29] <Misled> So I will copy and paste that into OOo and see what happens
[04:29] <foofoofoo> I have no sound on my Thinkpad T60 in Fiesty. i've tried to debug forever, but doesnt work
[04:30] <Heroin> hallo everyone :) ok can i have 1 ubuntu server and three desktops, and have the home folders located on the server? so i can login on any of the three desktops with any of the logins
[04:30] <Misled> Misled:  maybe one of my updates updated it?  Who knows.
[04:30] <boxrocks> re: x crash, thanks for the good suggestions, i'll contact thin-client vendor, they support LTSP, i'm guessing they've seen this before
[04:30] <Monk-eLive> Frogzoo, well partition information seems to be intact. But the system won't boot into windows automatically anymore. Not that it matters once I have installed grub.
[04:30] <Mr680x0^Ubuntu> how do I install a GTK 2+ theme?
[04:30] <stefg> boxrocks: network saturation might be an issue if it's thin client... not enough bandwidth to push 1280 rekiably over the network
[04:30] <Frogzoo> Monk-eLive: yep
[04:31] <November> hey...anybody install ubuntustudio theme
[04:31] <Frogzoo> !themes | Mr680x0^Ubuntu

[04:31] <digital_k> Mr680x0: download the file, and go to system>preferences>theme> drag the file you downloaded and drop it on the window
[04:31] <Mr680x0^Ubuntu> ubotu: I have a theme
[04:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about i have a theme - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:31] <soundray> Heroin: sure, why not
[04:31] <Monk-eLive> Frogzoo: I just wish this cdrom player was any faster. It even freezes when typing!
[04:31] <Frogzoo> Mr680x0^Ubuntu: sys -> prefs -> themes
[04:33] <Heroin> soundray how would i do that and do u have MSN or can i PM u?
[04:33] <fsckr> is /home/yourname/.thumbnail the directory that holds your wallpaper for gnome?
[04:33] <soundray> Heroin: you should set up each client to mount /home from the fileserver, ie. via /etc/fstab
[04:33] <Heroin> fsckr no i believe its /home/name/.gnome
[04:33] <digital_k> fsckr: you can create a folder in your home folder called wallpaper, then click an image to open it, then set it as wallpaper
[04:34] <soundray> Heroin: check out the ubotu factoid (pm):
[04:34] <Heroin> soundray ok and the .wine .gnome etc.. are just profiles for those applications?
[04:34] <soundray> !fstab > Heroin
[04:34] <Mr680x0^Ubuntu> digital_k: thamks, it worked
[04:34] <soundray> Heroin: yes
[04:34] <digital_k> no problem Mr680x0 ;)
[04:34] <Heroin> soundray i know how fstab kinda works but i just need some more understanding on how it would work from a server
[04:34] <Misled> Frogzoo:  OOo still tells me the folder I have selected does not contain the Jave run time enviroment .. when I put /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-<IP_ADDRESS>/jre/ as the location.
[04:34] <Misled> What can I be doing wrong????
[04:34] <fsckr> thx
[04:35] <Frogzoo> Misled: maybe it just doesn't like java6? is installing java 5 an option?
[04:35] <Mr680x0^Ubuntu> hmm
[04:35] <soundray> Heroin: you have to decide on a network filesystem. There are really only two contenders: nfs and smb.
[04:35] <Mr680x0^Ubuntu> the top of the windows stayed the same
[04:35] <soundray> Heroin: don't fall into the trap of installing samba on the clients. It's not necessary.
[04:35] <Mr680x0^Ubuntu> it's still the glossy one
[04:35] <Mr680x0^Ubuntu> :(
[04:35] <stefg> Misled: sudo update-alternaives --config java ?
[04:35] <stefg> *alternatives
[04:36] <soundray> Heroin: all you need client-side is the smbfs package. samba is for the server.
[04:36] <soundray> Heroin: nfs is a bit trickier to set up, because you have to set up portmapper as well. But the wiki is quite good:
[04:36] <soundray> !nfs > Heroin
[04:36] <soundray> !samba > Heroin
[04:36] <digital_k> Mr680x0: what was the name of the theme you downloaded? If it was Murrine or something,you will need to download that particular theme engine
[04:36] <Heroin> soundray atm i have 4 computer in my room, 2 desktop system 1-1ghz system and 1 755Mhz. Iam thinking of converting the 755into a server but not sure which os.. 2k3 or linux. If i decide on using a windows server can i also mount those on my linux boxes as home dirs?
[04:36] <liquid-punk> is it possible to boot the live-cd with an option to manually configure X?
[04:37] <\pub\bash0r> I forgot which command lists all "passwd" entries according to the current nsswitch configuration. does someone know or atleast assume what command I mean?
[04:37] <digital_k> alot of themese are just window borders only
[04:37] <Mr680x0^Ubuntu> oh
[04:37] <modex2007> I am real new to ubuntu and am having trouble creating a new volume on a new hard drive, I tried mkfs /dev/sdb which came back with "this is the whole device" do you want to continue.I did, and its just not right. I assume, looking at other drives, I need to create a volume first, can someone please let me how I go about this. All thats in the the "Device storage manager" is sdb, nothing under it...please. or is there a page somewhere t
[04:37] <digital_k> open themes again and click on customize
[04:37] <Misled> maybe I should delete Jave6 and install Jave5?   Thats might make problems worse.. lol
[04:37] <gluttony> lately i have been having system memory problems, and i have no idea why. when i first installed ubuntu, i could run beryl and serveral apps with no problem. no i have issues when i try to use multipul tabs in firefox
[04:37] <digital_k> then check the tabs and see if your theme is selected in each one
[04:38] <soundray> Heroin: yes. Windows file sharing is typically done with the server message block protocol, recently renamed cifs (not sure what cifs abbreviates).
[04:38] <stefg> Heroin: possible, but unecessarily painful
[04:38] <vox754> modex2007, by "volume" you mean partition?
[04:38] <modex2007> yes
[04:38] <Frogzoo> modex2007: run qparted and slice/dice the disk into partitions - you can also set the file system to ext3 while you're at it
[04:38] <tondar> any dock component for ubuntu on vm?
[04:38] <stefg> Heroin: just go ubuntu for the server (the choice of the champions :-) )
[04:38] <modex2007> excellent, Ill give it a go, I just call the app from a terminal session, yes
[04:38] <hmpedersen> I just installed the ati drivers trough "Restricted Drivers Manager".. Now I have no way of booting my feisty..
[04:39] <Sivart0> ATI fails <_<
[04:39] <soundray> hmpedersen: how far do you get during boot
[04:39] <soundray> ?
[04:39] <gluttony>  guess my question is, what could be causing my memory problem?
[04:39] <vox754> modex2007, you've been probably following the wrong tutorial because creating partitions is quite easy, you can do it graphically with GParted
[04:39] <Sivart0> gluttony: have you been hit in the head lately?
[04:39] <Sivart0> >_> sorry, couldnt resist
[04:40] <gluttony> lol
[04:40] <digital_k> gluttony how much memory do you have?
[04:40] <hmpedersen> soundray, I get so far as whenever gnome starts, my videocard is deactivated.
[04:40] <digital_k> and how many tabs are open when you notice it?
[04:40] <AlbertoP> hi
[04:40] <soundray> hmpedersen: what do you see on the monitor at that point?
[04:40] <tondar> any dock managers for ubuntu in vmware?
[04:40] <tondar> ??
[04:40] <hmpedersen> soundray, "No input"
[04:41] <Axle> hey people
[04:41] <soundray> hmpedersen: are using the same machine to chat?
[04:41] <stefg> !fixres | hmpedersen, the reso needs fixing, see
[04:41] <ubotu> hmpedersen, the reso needs fixing, see: 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
[04:41] <digital_k> gluttony: ?
[04:41] <modex2007> Hi Frogzoo, where can I find qparted
[04:41] <hmpedersen> soundray, yes. I just finished booting the live cd..
[04:41] <ompaul> hmpedersen, booting ubuntu and starting X are two different things - suggest you do CTL ALT F2 and log in then do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and set to the ordinary ati driver
[04:41] <gluttony> digital_k: what?
[04:41] <digital_k> how much memory do you have and how many tabs open when you notice the issue?
[04:41] <gluttony> digital_k: i have about 256 if i remember right
[04:42] <hmpedersen> ompaul, my videocard is disabled.. Once X starts, NOTHING is on the screen..
[04:42] <soundray> hmpedersen: try booting to that point, then switch to a text console with Ctrl-Alt-F1. Then you can follow the advice that stefg pointed out.
[04:42] <digital_k> hmmm....I was going to suggest increasing swap...but the default is 60
[04:42] <hmpedersen> soundray, same as I just told ompaul
[04:42] <digital_k> thats about right for 256
[04:42] <Axle> anyone have any luck with running Feisty Fawn on a MacBook Pro?
[04:42] <tondar> any cool dock managers for ubuntu?
[04:42] <tondar> ubuntu in vmware that is <<
[04:42] <soundray> hmpedersen: when you hit Ctrl-Alt-F1, you'll have screen input again.
[04:43] <ompaul> hmpedersen, so mount the hard drive and copy the xorg.conf file from the cd to the hard disk
[04:43] <hmpedersen> soundray, No. I'll have a black screen.
[04:43] <hmpedersen> I just spent half an hour trying
[04:43] <ompaul> hmpedersen, and do yoiu not have a login prompt?
[04:43] <defjux> azureus uses too much ram. what torrent client should i try next maybe pls???
[04:43] <Misled> OMG...keep getting discnnected
[04:43] <gluttony> digital_k: i used to know how to check the amount of memory, but i seem to have forgoten. how do i check?
[04:43] <hmpedersen> ompaul, well maybe I do.. I just don't have a screen that displays it
[04:44] <digital_k> gluttony: go to system>administration>system monitor>resources tab
[04:44] <dountby> after reboot some programs like opera and mozilla-thunderbird seem to have forgotten me (downloads, websitesessions, mail-account, ...) has someone an idea?
[04:44] <digital_k> how much memory is being used and how much swap?
[04:44] <ompaul> hmpedersen, so when booting press esc and get into editing the boot line (/msg ubotu bootoptions) and add "single" to the end of the line then do the sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:44] <stefg> !gnome-dock | tondar
[04:44] <soundray> ompaul: wouldn't be easier to just choose recovery mode?
[04:44] <ubotu> tondar: gnome-dock is a MacOS X -like dock for the gnome desktop, see www.gnome-dock.org
[04:45] <ompaul> soundray, I do forget these things yes it would
[04:45] <Monk-eLive> Frogzoo, stefg: still gives me the same error
[04:45] <_Johny> !search ln
[04:45] <ubotu> Found: grip, windows, kopete-icq-aim, vncfix, ln, telnet, gdesklets
[04:45] <tondar> stefg: could I use it in vm?
[04:45] <blind> What do the red dots above devices in alsamixergui mean?
[04:45] <gluttony> digital_k: it says i have 250 mb of memory, but it says i have no swap, and i know i made a swap drive
[04:45] <Monk-eLive> stefg: and there's not 'details' tab
[04:45] <Monk-eLive> no*
[04:45] <Hadron> blind: on or off
[04:45] <digital_k> gluttony: it says there is no swap or no swap is being used?
[04:45] <stefg> tondar: that's irrelevant
[04:45] <Axle> I get it to install fine but then X wont start, tells me that it cant find a monitor :/
[04:45] <blind> Hadron: oh. ok. thanks.
[04:45] <soundray> hmpedersen: you can boot recovery mode from the boot menu, then fix your issues with dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg (no sudo)
[04:46] <hmpedersen> Thanks..
[04:46] <tondar> stefg: i mean does it need beryl or compiz?
[04:46] <orangefly> i am trying to install vmware server but it says "This application conflicts with other installed software"....i removed all the files i could find....
[04:46] <hmpedersen> I just need to find something to write it down with.. For some strange reason i can't see this chat when I reboot..
[04:46] <stefg> tondar: have a look :-)
[04:46] <gluttony> digital_k: it says 0 of 0 is being used
[04:46] <digital_k> sounds like the swap is off gluttony
[04:47] <digital_k> try this: open terminal then type sudo swapon -a
[04:47] <tondar> stefg: metacity with composite enabled
[04:47] <tondar> :(
[04:47] <stefg> Monk-eLive: so how about preparing the partition manually and just point the installer to using it as root?
[04:47] <Hadron> gluttony: lok up mkswap and swapon
[04:47] <Hadron> look
[04:48] <franz> [newbie question]  i have a source checked out in my fat32 using my windows svn. then i switch OS ( to linux ) and use its svn to update that same source. ...why is that i'm getting "Skipped '.'" ?
[04:48] <digital_k> gluttony: now type this in terminal : sysctl -q vm.swappiness
[04:48] <ionstorm> can I put loopaes on ubuntu?
[04:48] <digital_k> it will tell you how much swap is taking place
[04:48] <ionstorm> loop-aes
[04:48] <gluttony> digital_k: it says  "cannot stat /dev/disk/by-uuid/dd2639df-7999-4f99-9fca-9e492637773a: No such file or directory"
[04:48] <DinCahill> hi. none of the sound devices i can select in the Sound preferences will output any sound. What should i do?
[04:48] <irotas> question .. i used dpkg-reconfigure console-setup to fix my keyboard selection .. it worked, but when I reboot, it stopped working again .. how do I make the change permanent?
[04:48] <digital_k> oh...sounds like you dont have a swap :/
[04:48] <soundray> franz: maybe it's relying on filesystem attributes that aren't available in fat32?
[04:49] <digital_k> try the other command i listed above: sysctl -q vm.swappiness
[04:49] <digital_k> what does it return?
[04:49] <ablabla> hello
[04:49] <gluttony> digital_k: "vm.swappiness = 60"
[04:49] <reverseblade> Hello, when I connect to internet via wireless at office, everything works perfect. However , when I come home, after a restart, I have to use dhclient command to times before being able to connect to internet. Does anyone know ?
[04:49] <gluttony> Hadrom: how do i do that?
[04:49] <tinh> join #fedora
[04:49] <ablabla> is there anyway to get see the load average for.. let's say the last 24 hours??
[04:49] <irotas> what configuration file does console-setup modify?
[04:49] <ablabla> instead of 1, 5 and 15 min?
[04:49] <digital_k> ok now do this : sudo sysctl vm.swappiness=0
[04:50] <digital_k> that will disable swap
[04:50] <reverseblade> I meant two times
[04:50] <digital_k> better to disable it, because you dont have a swap partition anyway
[04:50] <pravinconda> Well that didn't work
[04:50] <pravinconda> can anyone help me configure my wireless
[04:50] <Xyhthyx> franz: check it out again, they are two seperate svn clients.
[04:50] <gluttony> digital_k: ok, done
[04:50] <digital_k> ok you can create a swap file for your ubuntu install with the live cd
[04:51] <digital_k> id recommend having a swap partition just because you have a low amount of memory
[04:51] <pravinconda> i can't seem to find the wireless router with ndiswrapper
[04:51] <tinh> hello everybody
[04:51] <digital_k> 256 and no swap is gonna bog sooner or later
[04:51] <rasky> join #linuxubuntu_sicilia
[04:51] <gluttony> digital_k: i know i created one at set-up, i just dont know what happened to it
[04:51] <franz> Xyhthyx, the windows svn is at v.1.4 while the linux svn is at v1.4.3 ...is that a significant amount of difference, or is it because one was for windows, while the other for kubuntu?
[04:51] <reverseblade> Hello, when I connect to internet via wireless at office, everything works perfect. However , when I come home, after a restart, I have to use dhclient command two times before being able to connect to internet. Does anyone know ?
[04:52] <foofoofoo> How can i get ATI x1400 working in Ubuntu Fiesty?
[04:52] <Xyhthyx> franz: I do believe it's the diference in platforms and not version numbers.
[04:52] <digital_k> gluttony: you should boot with the live cd and check the partitions, something has gone wrong apparently.
[04:52] <digital_k> gparted comes with the live cd
[04:52] <digital_k> just to make sure you do indeed have a swap and its enabled
[04:53] <Xyhthyx> franz: I could never get svn to update my linux checked out source in windows.
[04:53] <franz> Xyhthyx, i see.thanks...it's sad though that i have to do another checkout :(
[04:53] <gluttony> digital_k: my ive cd is 6.06, and i'm on Studio 7.04
[04:53] <tarek> hi
[04:53] <digital_k> doesnt matter gluttony
[04:53] <digital_k> gparted will work anyway
[04:53] <franz> Xyhthyx, i see. so you do make another checkout? ..or do you have little trick up your sleeves? :)
[04:53] <non|linear> my ubuntu firefox shares profile folder with XP.  recently, I changed permissions on the shared drive (i.e. XP Documents and Settings) to umask=000, and now in Ubuntu I can't start firefox as a regular user (get a message saying another instance of firefox is not responding)..   the only way to start firefox is as a su... anyone know what permissions i need on the shared draive???
[04:53] <gluttony> ok. can i get gparted just as an app?
[04:53] <tarek> anybody can help? how can i change languagein ubuntu
[04:54] <digital_k> you need to run gparted from the live cd, i dont think you want to edit a hd in use ;)
[04:54] <Xyhthyx> franz: No real trick, keep 2 folders for the source on my usb, one for windows one for linux.
[04:54] <reverseblade> tarek, logout, there may be an option within the login screen
[04:54] <gcosmin> can some one help me pls!

[04:55] <gcosmin> reverseblade my wireless don't work now after reboot... and i don't know why, until now everiting whas ok
[04:55] <Cerda> anyone plays Regnum online?
[04:55] <tarek> how i can change between arabic and english inwidows ctrl+shift
[04:56] <reverseblade> gcosmin, have you tried "sudo dhclient" command ?
[04:56] <gcosmin> reverseblade no
[04:56] <reverseblade> then try and see what happens
[04:56] <unicornx> hello all, how do i get ubuntu to recognise my dvd drive?
[04:56] <reverseblade> unicornx, it should recognize it default
[04:56] <gcosmin> reverseblade: wifi0: unknown hardware address type 801
[04:57] <Xyhthyx> unicornx: It should be recognized, pop in a cd and find out.
[04:57] <reverseblade> gcosmin, was it working earlier ?
[04:57] <gcosmin> reverseblade yes
[04:57] <reverseblade> gcosmin, what you have done is only a reboot is that so ?
[04:57] <unicornx>  reverseblade: it won't mount it
[04:57] <gcosmin> reverseblade yes
[04:58] <unicornx> it wont even let me open it
[04:58] <reverseblade> I cannot say anything. Try to diagnose the problem via :
[04:58] <reverseblade> ! wireless | gcosmin
[04:58] <ubotu> gcosmin: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[04:58] <hmpedersen> I guess this means I have no computer untill I can get my hands on the XP Pro disc on monday
[04:59] <vorbote> ionstorm: regarding loop-aes, while you certainly can, it is better to use losetup (in fact, that one is deprecated, cryptsetup is the way to go).
[04:59] <reverseblade> gcosmin, also try to search the error you got ? it seems your card is not recognized, you may try to reinstall it if you can
[04:59] <gcosmin> ubotu do you tink, I wana do this everi time? ... i just have a restart, and wireless don't work, untile now everiting whas ok after restart
[04:59] <soundray> reverseblade: re. your wireless problem, I don't know the solution, but as a workaround, you could run dhclient from /etc/rc.local conditional on a failed ping.
[04:59] <dru> hello
[04:59] <ionstorm> vorbote, thnx

[05:02] <soundray> reverseblade: I understand if you want to go down the debugging/problem solving route, but I don't know how to help you with that.
[05:02] <orbin> hmm, i have a weird problem with totem.  when i increase/decrease/mute volume, the popup leaves a black rectangle when it hides.
[05:02] <elnimr> my mic doesnt work in ubuntu
[05:02] <SeenD> stefg ok thx
[05:02] <soundray> hmpedersen: are you cross with us?
[05:03] <hmpedersen> soundray, cross?
[05:03] <reverseblade> gcosmin I dunno, this might work
[05:03] <gcosmin> reverseblade I wana to know why my wireless has work so many days with restart and witout restart and now it won't work
[05:03] <soundray> hmpedersen: angry?
[05:03] <reverseblade> ! network | gcosmin

[05:03] <linux__alien> i ve been a FC User and ubuntu Feisty Fawn converted me to Ubuntu and now i feel to even think about FC
[05:03] <reverseblade> gcosmin, try restarting your network
[05:03] <unnutz> Hello, I would like to know if i put "PermitRootLogin no" to my /etc/ssh/sshd_config will I be able to run sudo?
[05:04] <reverseblade> gcosmin, have you played with interfacees file ?
[05:04] <linux__alien> FC6 used to be very slow in my system but Ubuntu is really good
[05:04] <gcosmin> reverseblade NO
[05:04] <non|linear> does anyone know why i can only load firefox as a superuser, with a firefox profile shared with xp?  this problem just began when i changed the profile's drive to umask=ooo
[05:04] <reverseblade> gcosmin, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[05:05] <stefg> unnutz: yes,if you are in the sudoers filke on the host
[05:05] <hmpedersen> soundray, no. I'm angry at microsoft! Yesterday my computer worked fine with Vista Ultimate.. Untill suddenly it had to spend 2 hours rebooting, because it refused to give me control untill it had sent error reports and personal information to ms without informing me first.. And my XP Pro disc is at the office where I'm working on unattended installs
[05:05] <Frogzoo> non|linear: umask=0000
[05:05] <afief> tarek: both alts at the same time, you can change the option if you wish
[05:05] <reverseblade> gcosmin, this one restarts networking daemon
[05:05] <afief> I installed ardour but it is complaining about there being to Jack, so what package do i need to install?
[05:05] <soundray> non|linear: a umask should normally consist of numbers, not letters.
[05:05] <reverseblade> gcosmin, check out this file as well ,  /etc/network/interfaces
[05:05] <gcosmin> reverseblade i give him a restart from buton couse my eth0 don't work and maby now i can conect again using USB
[05:05] <non|linear> frogzoo: hey again!  yea, i remember you telling me that the other day, but don't midssing numbers default to 0 anyhow?
[05:05] <dru> afeif: do you know how to get into the firefox tools page where it has saved passwords and etc for firefox?
[05:05] <unnutz> stefg, thank you :-)
[05:05] <reverseblade> gcosmin, dunno
[05:05] <non|linear> soundray:  sorry, i meant 000 heh
[05:05] <Frogzoo> non|linear: no, they don't
[05:06] <zedfloyd> do they make a quake4 version for linux??

[05:07] <Demorde> Hello!
[05:07] <hmpedersen> soundray, sorry about that.  I had hoped to be able to better control this anger today.
[05:08] <Demorde> Can this channel be used for general Ubuntu support?
[05:08] <soundray> hmpedersen: in any case, hope you can get it all sorted.
[05:08] <soundray> Demorde: that's its purpose
[05:08] <zedfloyd> do they make a quake4 version for linux??
[05:08] <Demorde> Ahh! Good. I have a question. :)
[05:08] <hmpedersen> soundray, so do I.. Preferably before I have to start this video editing last night..
[05:08] <silverblade> I'm looking to install lighttpd but its not listed in apt-cache / apt-get. my understanding is it'd be in an "unstable" branch... question is, where do i find out what this is and how to get it?
[05:08] <soundray> Demorde: on one line and to the point please :)

[05:10] <ZeroA4> zedfloyd, yes. there is Quake 4 for Linux
[05:10] <non|linear> frogzoo: i changed that drive to umask=0000, umouint and mount, and still firefox won't load unless su.... any other ideas?  do i need to change the group (currently plugdev), although it won't let me change it even as root ;P
[05:10] <masquerade> Is there a way to have feisty repositories also considered when using apt?
[05:10] <zedfloyd> ZeroA4, where do i get quake4 for Linux?
[05:11] <silverblade> soundray: thanks
[05:11] <masquerade> I'm trying to install a package that hasn't made its way to any gutsy repositories
[05:11] <soundray> Demorde: the NetworkManager jars with some network drivers. Which wireless chipset are you using?
[05:11] <masquerade> sorry, should've specified I'm on gutsy in the original question
[05:11] <EcoBlue> How would I get max resolution on Ubuntu 7.04 with a Intel GMA 950 card?
[05:11] <Demorde> Its a weird one, AirLink 101 wireless card.
[05:12] <soundray> masquerade: join #ubuntu+1 for gutsy questions. Please read the topic there.
[05:12] <soundray> Demorde: what chipset?
[05:12] <Demorde> As in model of the card?

[05:13] <u_u> hm....where can i find the image to burn to cd?
[05:13] <ablabla> or 5 days
[05:13] <Frogzoo> non|linear: can that user write to the drive?
[05:13] <soundray> Demorde: no... Airlink 101 is the model name. The chipset can vary, and often different model wireless cards have the same chipset. How is your card connected to the computer?
[05:13] <u_u> i downloaded ubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386

[05:13] <u_u> is tat correct?
[05:13] <sdac> hi i want to use SAMBA to READ data  stored my ubuntu fiesty desktop,  from a windows XP laptop.   i am new to linux and am overwhelmed with all the configuration stuff.  IS there a good simple GUI interface for samba on ubuntu and also none of the guides i found talk about setting up stuff on the windows xp side ?
[05:13] <Demorde> Its connected to a USB port.
[05:14] <soundray> u_u: for most computers, it would be
[05:14] <Demorde> Model number AWLL5025.
[05:14] <u_u> how do i exactly burn the installation to a cd?
[05:14] <soundray> Demorde: open a terminal, run 'lsusb' and see if you can identify the line that corresponds to your wifi card.
[05:14] <defecacy> sdac can't you use LinNeighbourhood?
[05:14] <ukubuntu> j #gramps
[05:14] <EcoBlue> orbin, thanks
[05:14] <soundray> u_u: follow these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[05:15] <sdac> defecacy:  i dont know what that is ? is it same as samba but easier ?
[05:15] <non|linear> frogzoo: yea, i can rwx to the drive, but firefox somehow can't load the profile unless i use sudo, and even sometimes i that won't work and i need gksudo... any BTW. these problems began after i resolved my perm issues from the other day ;)
[05:15] <Frogzoo> u_u: you need the 'burn image to disk' option
[05:15] <SonsOfAtreus> u_u, when given the options do 'copy image'
[05:15] <Demorde> I am not on it right now, (since this is my only computer and I need to boot into it -- No net otherwise). I just came in here for general support. (I know, can't be very helpful but its the best I can do.)
[05:15] <Mr680x0^Ubuntu> how do I install an usplash boot screen?
[05:15] <u_u> soundray: i cant find the image?
[05:15] <soundray> Demorde: then give me the usb identifier (something like 89ab:cd12)
[05:15] <DinCahill> hi. how could i go about getting my nVidia nForce 2 onboard sound card working in ubuntu? currently doesnt produce any sound.
[05:15] <sdac> defecacy: all i want to do is play videos on my XP laptop that are stored on the HD of ubuntu desktop.
[05:15] <Nekyinboots> hello. anyone having trouble with slune
[05:16] <SonsOfAtreus> u_u .iso is technically an image file
[05:16] <u_u> i cant find the image?
[05:16] <Demorde> Eep. Thank you all for your attempt to help. But I've got to run (Sorry!). Life gets in the way. Woo!
[05:16] <stijn_pol> Does someone have another good tutorial about packaging/compiling except from the packaging guide on ubuntu.com??
[05:16] <u_u> where is tat file in the folder?
[05:16] <soundray> u_u: how did you download? firefox?
[05:16] <ZeroA4> sdac, if it only for you... ssh + winscp3 is easier than seting up samba
[05:16] <u_u> i download using IE
[05:16] <soundray> u_u: it should be on your desktop.
[05:17] <ZeroA4> u_u, wicth folder?
[05:17] <SonsOfAtreus> U_U   iso is the file's extension
[05:17] <u_u> must i check on "Check here if you need the alternate desktop CD. This CD does not include the Live CD, instead it uses a text-based installer."?
