[03:13] <hou5ton> danbhfive:   I've tried three different webcams with three different chip sets
[03:14] <KiD_ChAoS> genii, yes i was going to try and issue the 'off' switch first then try to reconnect
[03:14] <KiD_ChAoS> genii, i'll try now
[03:14] <genii> KiD_ChAoS: perhaps try something like: sudo iwconfig <ethname> off; sudo iwconfig <ethname> aa:bb:cc etc
[03:14] <KiD_ChAoS> one sec
[03:14] <hou5ton> danbhfive:   it actually will work at first ... for a little while ... and then quits ... and then the only way to get it working again is with a new install
[03:14] <hou5ton> danbhfive:   something about Ubuntu 7.10 that just doesn't get it
[03:15] <danbhfive> hou5ton: hmmm, I don't know, at least you have some sort of support, but I can't help ya
[03:15] <hou5ton> danbhfive:   wonder what other distro I should try?
[03:15] <Webu> KiD_ChAoS, there's also an option "iwconfig eth1 mode X" but i'm not so sure about it, you might take a look at this man page: http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl8_iwconfi.htm
[03:15] <broken__> How can I get rid of power save mode upon reboot?
[03:16] <danbhfive> anyone know about posting bounties for ubuntu?
[03:17] <iDivine> -;noooo BACK
[03:17] <drpcken> hey guys everytime I reboot i get /dev/sd5 was not cleanly mounted. Check force::: and then i proceeds to fix whatever the problem was.  I have no sd5 to my knowledge, and when I look at my places its not their either
[03:17] <olivia23> how can I tell if i have dapper or gutsy?
[03:17] <Optimus55> is there any way to get ubuntu apps in windows?
[03:17] <Webu> KiD_ChAoS, playing with different options might work, there's also commands "ifup" and "ifdown", i think they should apply to your wireless interface eth1 as well. So you could do a "ifdown eth1", set what you want and then "ifup eth1" :)
[03:17] <drpcken> all i have is sd1 and sd2 which are two partitions
[03:17] <danbhfive> olivia23: lsb_release -a
[03:18] <KiD_ChAoS> Webu, ok
[03:18] <drpcken> and then a usb drive but its called XTREME
[03:18] <Rellic> optiumus55, wine runs some windows apps
[03:18] <danbhfive> Optimus55: you can try cygwin
[03:18] <olivia23> danbhfive: can i install dapper packages in feisty?
[03:19] <olivia23> danbhfive: http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/utils/disktype , trying to install that
[03:19] <Webu> KiD_ChAoS, if it simply won't work, it might be your card and/or it's driver though it "worked" with a GUI.
[03:19] <Optimus55> Rellic: sorry i mean the other way around. not windows in ubuntu, i mean ubuntu apps in windows
[03:19] <genii> drpcken: What does the result of:   sudo fdisk -l |grep sda5                               report?
[03:19] <Optimus55> danbhfive: does cygwin support linux applications in window?
[03:19] <olivia23> danbhfive: nvm, got it
[03:19] <danbhfive> Optimus55: yeah
[03:20] <broken__> How can I stop a monitor from going into power save mode upon reboot?
[03:20] <KiD_ChAoS> Webu, wierd 'ifdown eth1' comes back as 'eth1 not configured'
[03:20] <danbhfive> olivia23: its in gutsy
[03:20] <Optimus55> danbhfive: thanks
[03:20] <genii> KiD_ChAoS: Another thing which occurs to me is that your APs may be each individually assigning DHCP IPs to clients which conflict with each other
[03:20] <Webu> KiD_ChAoS, at least my Windows laptop always selects the strongest open AP if there's many avaible with the same SSID and channel.
[03:20] <danbhfive> broken__: doesn't that happen because the monitor is turned off?
[03:21] <drpcken> genii, /dev/sda5            3434        9729    50572588+  83  Linux
[03:21] <danbhfive> broken__: or rather, the signal is cut
[03:21] <KiD_ChAoS> Webu, yes that was why we made them all the same SSID to ensure the end-user with windows the best signal
[03:21] <CrazyPhil> Hi. Sorry for the noob question. What does meen "switch to a tty" ?
[03:21] <Webu> KiD_ChAoS, hmmph, they might now work with wireless interfaces, sorry i'm not able to test it out since i don't have any wireless interfaces here :/
[03:21] <Webu> KiD_ChAoS, might not*
[03:21] <KiD_ChAoS> genii, no we have our router handle all the DHCP
[03:21] <broken__> danbhfive, a friend is experiencing this issue, she says it only happens when she restarts from ubuntu but not a cold reboot.
[03:21] <genii> drpcken: Then boot to recovery mode and run fsck /dev/sda5
[03:22] <danbhfive> CrazyPhil: TeleTYpe I think, I think it just means to start a terminal
[03:22] <CrazyPhil> ok thanks
[03:22] <danbhfive> broken__: maybe it's a bios issue
[03:22] <nickrud> CrazyPhil: it means press ctl-alt-f1 -> f6 , ctl-alt-f7 to get back to the gui
[03:22] <drpcken> genii, will do, what is sda5 though? i only have 2 partitions
[03:23] <ahave> trying to configure my wifi usb adapter... what is my next step after i obtain the chipset?
[03:23] <CrazyPhil> ty
[03:23] <Webu> KiD_ChAoS, yeah, even using different softwares like WifiHopper i wasn't able to select which one i'll connect (on my Windows laptop).
[03:23] <genii> drpcken: Obviously you don't. To see a complete list of all your partitions, do just: sudo fdisk -l
[03:23] <danbhfive> broken__: I remember way back that bios's had two boot modes, quick and normal, where quick was used on reboots, maybe quick boot doesn't work.  You should be able to turn it off in bios
[03:23] <lokiri> does burning ubuntu to cd-rw vs cd-r have a difference?
[03:23] <drpcken> geni, you're right
[03:24] <danbhfive> ahave: are you using ndiswrapper?
[03:24] <drpcken> geni, says its a Linux system
[03:24] <drpcken> i'll do what you said
[03:24] <HPubuntuLaptop> hi
[03:24] <ahave> danbhfive, idk. how can i tell?
[03:24] <bullgard4> English help wanted. What is meant by 'bouncing' in the following sentence: "Via some abstraction (either acpid, gnome-power-manager or kpowersave or something), the userspace makes that decision and initiates the suspend to RAM process by either calling a suspend script directly or bouncing via HAL."
[03:24] <HPubuntuLaptop> I'm having some laptop issues here
[03:24] <KiD_ChAoS> Webu, genii, could it be that my driver for my wireless card is fwcutter?
[03:24] <Rellic> for security sakes and stuff is it still a good idea to make multiple partitions for /root /boot, etc?
[03:24] <Kuroachia> Is there something that I'm missing? I'm running 7.10 and I want to burn an .iso to a dvd and when I right click on the file I don't have a burn command like people are saying online.
[03:24] <danbhfive> ahave: from whatever directions you are following
[03:24] <Starnestommy> bullgard4: it's telling the system to suspend using HAL
[03:24] <KiD_ChAoS> i switched from ndiswrapper to fwcutter
[03:24] <genii> KiD_ChAoS: I doubt it could be the cause, since the adapter seems to work otherwise.
[03:24] <nickrud> bullgard4: it means calling it indirectly via hal
[03:25] <KiD_ChAoS> genii, yes right
[03:25] <Kuroachia> and when I pop the blank DVD in ubuntu prompts me to create a DVD but when I go to make a dvd an error comes up saying  "burn:///" is not a valid location.
[03:25] <ahave> danbhfive, i do not have directions..
[03:25] <drpcken> also, i always disable system beep with rmmod pcspkr, but when i reboot the system beep returns
[03:25] <ahave> danbhfive, which is why i am here
[03:25] <Webu> KiD_ChAoS, sorry i don't know much about the drivers, but it's possible that your driver or card just wants to switch the strongest one regardless what Ubuntu tries to set.
[03:25] <HPubuntuLaptop> I just bought an HP Pavilion laptop with a widescreen LCD 15" display, I'm having trouble finding out which display to enter at boot (I put "Nvidia GeForce 7 series, because I have a 7150) but I can't figure out what to put for the monitor
[03:25] <kercyr> I've come to the conclusion today that if you want effortless wireless connectivity, I should invest in a wireless bridge.
[03:25] <Jolly_Fat_Man> how do i do an md5sum to an entire cd?
[03:25] <danbhfive> !wireless > ahave
[03:25] <bullgard4> Starnestommy, nickrud : Thank you.
[03:25] <Hinata`> Hi there when do ctrl+alt+f1 to get on console, I get an error message that is really annoying me and prevent me from using it to debug my computer: http://pastebin.com/m2e2383bb is there a way to prevent this message to show up?
[03:25] <Pici> !verify | Jolly_Fat_Man
[03:25] <ubotu> Jolly_Fat_Man: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[03:25] <genii> KiD_ChAoS: incidentally fwcutter is just a tool to snip the windows firmware for an adapter so that ndiswrapper can use it. so you are really still using ndiswrapper, really.
[03:26] <KiD_ChAoS> oh i c
[03:26] <ahave> danbhfive, thx
[03:26] <neclimdul> wow everyone has wireless questions today
[03:26] <nickrud> drpcken: create a file in /etc/modprobe.d/ named pcspeaker, and add the line   blacklist  pcspkr     to it. That will prevent it being reloaded on boot
[03:26] <genii> drpcken: You can just blacklist the pcspkr module if you never want to hear it
[03:26] <Webu> KiD_ChAoS, from iwconfig man page: "Force the card to register to the Access Point given by the address,
[03:26] <Webu> if it is possible. When the quality of the connection goes too low, the driver may revert back to automatic mode (the card finds the best Access Point in range).
[03:26] <Roy> Could someone please give me the entire command as to how to remove a particular application in wine when the wine uninstaller fails?
[03:26] <genii> nickrud: Beat me to it :)
[03:27] <Bandit> how can i tell which sound device my mic is?
[03:27] <nickrud> genii: I write that one in my sleep now :)
[03:27] <singlesun> !fluxbox
[03:27] <ubotu> fluxbox is a lightweight and responsive window manager for GNU/Linux. For how to set it up and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox
[03:27] <Webu> KiD_ChAoS, that's for "iwconfig ethX ap MAC"
[03:27] <HPubuntuLaptop> can anyone help?
[03:27] <neclimdul> i've got a really crappy integrated wireless adapter and a pcmcia card. I want to block ubuntu from using the internal one but can't seem to figure out how
[03:27] <Roy> Could someone please give me the entire command as to how to remove a particular application in wine when the wine uninstaller fails?
[03:27] <KiD_ChAoS> Webu, yeah that could be but im looking into the 'sens' within iwconfig right now.... it all comes down to it working in the gui but not in terminal
[03:27] <Bandit> how can i tell which sound device my mic is?
[03:27] <no0tic> !repeat | Roy, Bandit
[03:27] <ubotu> Roy, Bandit: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[03:28] <danbhfive> Roy: what's the reason it matters to you?  I think all that is left behind are links/files/registry crap
[03:28] <neclimdul> anyone know of a way to blacklist one of my adapters? (they use the same firmware)
[03:28] <DiceyDays> I am on amd 64 and I am trying to install vista 64 in virtualbox. Yet I get this error message in vista start up- "Attempting to load a 64-bit application, however this cpu is not compatible with 64-bit mode". Does virtualbox only run 32bit?
[03:28] <ogre> k guys, im trying to run a vm. it says im missing a module. im using virtualbox heres the modprobe feedback http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55166/ any help would be appreciated I have no clue what im doing
[03:28] <Roy> danbhfive: I need to remove them because the uninstaller is missing.
[03:28] <Bandit> :
[03:28] <genii> KiD_ChAoS: So if your router assigns the dhcp numbers for the entire network including all the APs are they set up in something like repeater/bridge mode? Since most APs of course are getting the IP from the router then assign different ranges to their clients
[03:28] <Bandit> :(
[03:29] <Webu> KiD_ChAoS, i see, it sounds a bit funny and strange at the same time if GUI claims to be connected to a specific MAC.
[03:29] <Roy> That application is incompatible
[03:29] <thepain> ok
[03:29] <bluekb> How do I find out when a package was installed?
[03:29] <Kuroachia> Anyone know what I should do about burning an iso?
[03:29] <jrib> !burn | Kuroachia
[03:29] <ubotu> Kuroachia: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[03:29] <SergeantScar> hey all
[03:29] <thepain> in making dual boot system, how can i make that it used xp bootloader?
[03:29] <drpcken> nickrud, it won't let me create a file in /etc/modprobe.d/
[03:30] <drpcken> there's no option
[03:30] <jrib> ogre: add your user to the vboxusers group
[03:30] <KiD_ChAoS> genii, there are a few AP that we couldn't hardwire to the switch but the are just AP's as well with WDS so the router still assigns IPs to those APs through there WDS counterparts
[03:30] <Sier> Good evening, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 7.10 Desktop edition on a pc , and after I click on the Install(first item), the screen turns blank.. I already press F4, and changed from VGA to multiple different resolutions, and still no luck :( My video card is a 8800GT.. Any help, please?
[03:30] <jrib> ogre: wait, maybe it's something else, but check that too
[03:30] <Roy> danbhfive: Any hints?
[03:30] <ahave> danbhfive, ndiswrapper is for using windows drivers?
[03:30] <nickrud> drpcken: you have to do    sudoedit  /etc/modprobe.d/pcspeaker , you need admin privs to write in /etc
[03:30] <sid> What is a simple way to sync a directory on windows vista, and one on gnome?
[03:30] <drpcken> gotcha
[03:31]  * genii sips a beer and thinks about the 27 APs and the iwconfig conundrum
[03:31] <ahave> danbhfive, my card is supposed to linux capable :  http://www.data-alliance.net/servlet/the-90/high-dsh-power-long-dsh-range-AWUS036H-Alfa/Detail
[03:31] <nickrud> bluekb:    sudo less /var/log/apt/term.log , type   /<packagename> in there
[03:31] <poningru> jw144000: you there?
[03:31] <poningru> sorry dude I'm on call right now
[03:31] <KiD_ChAoS> genii, yes im going to start drinking too
[03:31] <Webu> KiD_ChAoS, :D
[03:31] <villnew> hey all, anyone know how to set up dosemu to log data (in this case text commands) sent from a program being run in dosemu to a serial port? I can find mention in the manual that it can do this but nothing saying how :(
[03:31] <danbhfive> Roy: I just don't understand why you care, unless you are reinstalling or something, but I really don't know.  maybe you can try in #wine
[03:31] <stealthcobra> whew
[03:31] <jw144000> poningru: I'm here
[03:31] <ogre> k guys, im trying to run a vm. it says im missing a module. im using virtualbox heres the modprobe feedback http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55166/ any help would be appreciated I have no clue what im doing
[03:31] <poningru> jw144000: all you have to do is pop in your windows cd and boot from it
[03:32] <ogre> oops sorry
[03:32] <jw144000> OK
[03:32] <jw144000> then what
[03:32] <poningru> and when you get to the first screen select the repair option by pressing r
[03:32] <jw144000> ok
[03:32] <HPubuntuLaptop> I'm about to install Ubuntu on a new HP laptop... it didn't come with a Vista disc, it's just installed, I didn't use the key yet, so is there any way to download vista later and use my key?
[03:32] <danbhfive> ahave: well, if it worked in linux, then I think it would already be working.  and yes, ndiswrapper is about using the windows drivers in linux
[03:32] <HPubuntuLaptop> in case I have issues with Ubuntu
[03:32] <poningru> then type in your administrator password if it asks you
[03:32] <magick> HPubuntuLaptop, didn't you get a restore CD?
[03:32] <genii> KiD_ChAoS: Nothing immediate comes to mind besides the issues I've mentioned already. I have no other things to try at this moment. But I'm still trying to think of what the issue could be.
[03:32] <HPubuntuLaptop> no it didn't come with one
[03:32] <poningru> jw144000: then do a command called fixmbr
[03:32] <HPubuntuLaptop> system restore is in the computer... like in a partition I think
[03:32] <poningru> just type in fixmbr
[03:32] <jw144000> poningru: I'm using a storebought copy of Windows XP home edition....it's not a restore CD that came with my PC, does that matter?
[03:33] <SergeantScar> i wanna drink...  but have test tomorrow
[03:33] <SergeantScar> but im happy cause i finally got my computer running awesome!!! yay!!
[03:33] <jw144000> My PC has System restore on the hard drive
[03:33] <taz> hi stealthcorba.... are u there?
[03:33] <danbhfive> HPubuntuLaptop: call them up, and ask for the windows disk, its within your rights I believe
[03:33] <poningru> jw144000: no that does not matter
[03:33] <stealthcobra> Yes Honey Taz
[03:33] <jw144000> ok
[03:33] <ahave> danbhfive, it has worked previously on another ubuntu box i once had.. just not now.
[03:33] <magick> HPubuntuLaptop, I highly doubt a big market company like HP would give out a laptop without the cd.. its there, just look for it
[03:33] <poningru> jw144000: just make sure the external hard drive is not connected when you do this
[03:33] <nickrud> evil evil evil jw144000
[03:33] <no0tic> HPubuntuLaptop, probably you can burn restore dvd
[03:33] <villnew> either that or if there is a way to log data sent to a serial port to a file - thought I'd found something that would do it with the program ttylog but that only does data coming in through that serial port and i need to log data going out :(
[03:33] <ahave> danbhfive, is there no other way than without ndiswrapper?
[03:33] <singlesun> SergeantScar, congrats ;)
[03:33] <taz> ha ha ha setlhcbra.. how was ur day
[03:33] <magick> HPubuntuLaptop, if not, do as danbhfive said and ask for it
[03:33] <no0tic> magick, they don't, I assure you
[03:33] <stealthcobra> bad day!
[03:34] <stealthcobra> Linux give me hard time
[03:34] <SergeantScar> thanks very much!! oops. got to restart!
[03:34] <ahave> danbhfive, i would rather not use a wrapper and just use it natively
[03:34] <KiD_ChAoS> yeah i started using iwlist scan and was amazed it allowed me to see the MACs of all the APs there and also iwconfig to show me which mac i was on but i need more functionality damnit!
[03:34] <jw144000> nickrud: Why are you calling me evil?
[03:34] <taz> sorry setalcobra... anyway any one know how to using with remote ?? can u help with ??
[03:34] <nickrud> jw144000: not you , your situation. evil HP
[03:34] <magick> no0tic, so i'm guessing they want you to rely on their recovery partition right?
[03:34] <Webu> KiD_ChAoS, do you happen to use a Broadcom chipset card btw?
[03:34] <jw144000> nickrud: Oh, OK. Actually, it's Dell, not HP
[03:34] <KiD_ChAoS> Webu, yes i do
[03:34] <jw144000> In my case
[03:34] <Danger_> is there a support channel for the eee-pc
[03:34] <danbhfive> ahave: well of course, native will always be better than ndiswrapper.  Have you installed linux-modules-restricted?  or checked the restricted driver manager maybe?
[03:34] <stealthcobra> how do we use remtoe between desktop to desktop?
[03:35] <DiceyDays> Okay I read the virtualbox pdf manual, and it says that virtualbox 1.5 (which I got) supports 64 bit Vista. So how do I setup virtualbox to handle 64 bit vista? Thanks for any help.
[03:35] <Sier> any solutions for my specific question? :P
[03:35] <no0tic> magick, yes, but you can burn a dvd from that
[03:35] <nickrud> jw144000: thanks for letting me know not to buy dell (although I haven't booted my tiny vista partition in months, it's there in case the hardware fails)
[03:35] <jw144000> poningru: I'll be back in a few minutes
[03:35] <Webu> KiD_ChAoS, just wondering, actually with WiFiHopper on Windows laptop i was ably to try connect a specific MAC address, but after connecting it always threw me to the strongest one :/
[03:35] <ahave> danbhfive, restricted driver manager? no. what is that?
[03:35] <poningru> jw144000: k
[03:35] <Danger_> dell argh
[03:35] <genii> DiceyDays: Do you have a 64 bit cpu?
[03:36] <DiceyDays> genii: Yeah
[03:36] <jrib> !please > sier (read the private message from ubotu)
[03:36] <magick> no0tic, this is probably in their plan to overtake dell.. cut the cost of a CD 50% of the people won't even use.. slow computer from spyware -> buy a new one.
[03:36] <KiD_ChAoS> Webu, yeah windows would switch it on you...i hate that
[03:36] <Sier> got it to work.
[03:36] <Sier> thanks all :)
[03:36] <danbhfive> ahave: from a terminal, run restricted-manager
[03:36] <Webu> KiD_ChAoS, me too actually, hope it's not a Broadcom feature :/
[03:36] <DanThirst> >_> any one pro at fstab? lol
[03:37] <taz> any one can help please.. .. how do we using remote betweed desktop to desktop ??
[03:37] <jw144000> nickrud: Heh. It's retarded that they won't give you actual installation CDs, but instead opt on putting system restore on the hard drive. It's as if they didn't think about what I'd need to do if I needed to reformat and reinstall everything, luckily I have a Windows XP CD or I'd be SOL
[03:37] <Kuroachia> ubotu: It turned out I was missing a package which is why I couldn't burn the dvd, thanks tho.
[03:37] <ahave> danbhfive, command not found
[03:37] <Sier> I just had to press CTRL+ALT and +.. in order to change the freq of the video card :) just in case someone is stuck at the same point.
[03:37] <nickrud> jw144000: dell gave me two disks ;P
[03:37] <KiD_ChAoS> Webu, yeah otherwise i like my card...it's pretty strong, i don't know the exact mwatts on it but i like it
[03:37] <ahave> danbhfive, it should be known i have a linuxICE build of ubuntu so perhaps this is not included?
[03:38] <nickrud> DanThirst: no experts here (they spend time building ubuntu) but what's your issue?
[03:38] <j1mc> hi all - would someone with a default "interfaces" file be willing to post their /etc/init.d/network/interfaces file to pastebin?
[03:38] <Webu> KiD_ChAoS, that's great :) What kind of AP's do you happen to use? Buffalos?
[03:38] <DanThirst> k i'v got this drive mounting but i want to be able to rw with out having to sudo
[03:38] <bluekb> How do I get the install date of packages, or the chronological order of package updates?
[03:38] <jw144000> nickrud: LOL, I have a bone to pick with these people. BRB
[03:38] <bluekb> anyone?
[03:39] <nickrud> DanThirst: put your /etc/fstab on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org , and tell us which one you're talking about
[03:39] <danbhfive> ahave: yeah, that would do it
[03:39] <DanThirst> just one line can i paste it in here
[03:39] <Creationist> Anyone else have these bugs:  Application launcher icons on a panel rearrange themselves whenever I login.  I am also unable to setup any program to launch automatically when I login.
[03:39] <nickrud> DanThirst: one line, sure
[03:39] <genii> DiceyDays: Since this is more a virtualbox issue (or possible Vista 64 specifically runing on virtualbox) than an Ubuntu issue I would recommend seeking specialised help, possibly at the virtualbox forum or irc if they have one
[03:39] <KiD_ChAoS> Webu, http://www.engeniustech.com/datacom/products/details.aspx?id=173
[03:39] <danbhfive> ahave: what's lspci | grep Ethernet        say?
[03:39] <DanThirst> /dev/hdb1 /home/dan/storage auto auto,rw 0 0
[03:39] <DiceyDays> genii: Okay. Thanks
[03:39] <DanThirst> nickrud: like i said it mounts fine but
[03:40] <nickrud> DanThirst: what partition type is it?
[03:40] <ahave> danbhfive, nothing
[03:40] <DanThirst> ext3, i had it as ext3 but i was messing round with it
[03:40] <DanThirst> i'll put it back
[03:40] <taz> any one will help ??
[03:40] <Webu> KiD_ChAoS, that looks powerful and professional :O
[03:40] <DanThirst> (the drive is ext3 as well)
[03:40] <nickrud> DanThirst:   sudo chown <you>:<you> home/dan/storage
[03:40] <KiD_ChAoS> lol...pain in my ass
[03:40] <nickrud> DanThirst: that's it :)
[03:41] <DanThirst> eh ?
[03:41] <nickrud> DanThirst: do that with the partition mounted by the way.
[03:41] <DanThirst> alright
[03:41] <DanThirst> will i have to do that every time i log on
[03:41] <nickrud> DanThirst: no, just the once
[03:41] <ogre> jrib:   sudo usermod vboxusers -G ogre ?
[03:42] <danbhfive> ahave: so this is linux in your car?
[03:42] <jrib> ogre: no, that would not work.  What's the output of 'groups'?
[03:42] <nickrud> DanThirst: permissions in fstab are for windows partitions, ext partitions use the standard unix permissions
[03:42] <Foxray> hi i'm trying to move all my stuff out of this really annoying 8gb maxtor ball bearing hdd to an 8gb CF card, how would i go about cloning the drive so it would work?
[03:42] <DanThirst> giving me no such file or dir
[03:43] <danbhfive> ahave: I don't know about your problem though, I would try this (ndiswrapper): https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RTL8180L?highlight=%28WifiDocs%2FDevice%29
[03:43] <bluekb> nickrud, sorry, missed your comment earlier.  I have no /var/log/apt dir
[03:43] <DanThirst> nickrud:  should i be replacing you:you with any thing
[03:43] <nickrud> DanThirst:     sudo chown  dan:dan   /home/dan/storage
[03:43] <stealthcobra> YELL HELP?
[03:43] <ogre> jrib: ogre adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev scanner lpadmin admin netdev powerdev .. when i try to add group though it says it already exists

[03:44] <jrib> ogre: ugh, that's wronk
[03:44] <jrib> ogre: sudo adduser ogre vboxusers
[03:44] <nickrud> bluekb: I have that here, it's a log of apt's actions.
[03:44] <stealthcobra> wave high
[03:44] <stealthcobra> help
[03:44] <Pici> !ask | stealthcobra
[03:44] <ubotu> stealthcobra: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[03:44] <nickrud> DanThirst: you have files in there already?
[03:44] <bluekb> nickrud, unfortunately that directory does not exist for me.
[03:44] <DanThirst> nope
[03:44] <DanThirst> yay i have some where to store my porn
[03:44] <DanThirst> YAYAYAY
[03:44] <nickrud> DanThirst: then you're done
[03:45] <DanThirst> thanks nickrud i
[03:45] <joh6nn> so, i'm seeing the weirdest damn behavior from apt-cache, and i have no idea what's causing it: any search i run has lots of blank lines mixed in with the output, and once the search is done, bash acts like i held down the enter key
[03:45] <nickrud> Pici: do you have a dir /var/log/apt ?
[03:45] <DanThirst> what was that command or method you had me use ?
[03:45] <DanThirst> something like chmod?
[03:45] <nickrud> bluekb: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[03:45] <CVD-PR> Hey there can i ask about java development  in ubuntu/linux?
[03:45] <stealthcobra> never mind i am outta here
[03:45] <nickrud> DanThirst: chown , change owner
[03:46] <Pici> nickrud: yes, I do.
[03:46] <DanThirst> ohh ok thank you i'll remember that
[03:46] <cfedde_> CVD-PR: what's to ask?  other than... it works.
[03:46] <bluekb> find /var/log/ -maxdepth 1 -type d |xargs ls -d      gives the output  /var/log/  /var/log/bittorrent  /var/log/cups  /var/log/dist-upgrade  /var/log/fsck  /var/log/gdm  /var/log/ksymoops  /var/log/news  /var/log/ntpstats  /var/log/samba  /var/log/unattended-upgrades
[03:46] <bluekb> nickrud, the directory you suggest does not exist.
[03:46] <nickrud> bluekb: I asked another regular, he has it. What version of ubuntu are you running?
[03:46] <DanThirst> thanks agan nickrud
[03:47] <bluekb> nickrud, Fiesty Fawn
[03:47] <iieieie> uh,
[03:47] <bluekb> I think.
[03:47] <singlesun> sadly i think i prefer fdisk to this new gui for partitioning
[03:48] <nickrud> bluekb: it may have been added recently then.
[03:48] <iieieie> what would i put in the terminal to get libgpod 0.6.0?
[03:48] <CVD-PR> Can someone recomend me one of this: eclipse or netbeans to do console and Gui
[03:48] <iieieie> i cant seem to install it
[03:48] <nickrud> bluekb:   lsb_release -a will confirm
[03:48] <iieieie> im very tired and cant think straight
[03:48] <bluekb> 7.04, nickrud
[03:48] <Ticonderoga> How do I share files between Windows XP Pro and Ubuntu 7.10? Like shared folders over a Router based network. I have been able to get as far as both computers to see each other, but access is not possible. Username and password bit just wont accept.
[03:48] <KiD_ChAoS> iieieie, smoke some dope
[03:48] <ogre> jrib:  here is a screenshot of the error that virtualbox is giving me http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/8121/screenshotmj4.png
[03:48] <m0u5e> how do i find out what graphics card I have on this laptop?
[03:49] <drpcken> which apt command will tell me if any version of an app is even installed?
[03:49] <CVD-PR> ?
[03:49] <nickrud> bluekb: ok, then  ls -ld /usr/share/doc/<pkgname> should be accurate
[03:49] <m0u5e> drpcken: apt-cache show <appname>
[03:49] <drpcken> thanks! you guys rock :)
[03:49] <nickrud> drpcken: apt-cache policy <packgname>
[03:49] <bluekb> nickrud, trying that
[03:49] <uid000> hello, i was wondering if someone could help me out with the nvidia binary drivers
[03:49] <m0u5e> so anyone know how i would find out what gpu I'm using?
[03:49] <iieieie> guys Could anyone please tell me how to get libgpod 0.6.0?
[03:49] <joh6nn> drpcken: dpkg -s <packagename>
[03:50] <uid000> i have just replaced a Ti 4200 with an FX 5200
[03:50] <joh6nn> iieieie: apt-cache search libgpod
[03:50] <flake> if I lose my panel and main panels, how could I get them back
[03:50] <joh6nn> and then apt-get install <foo> , where foo is whatever the best result from the search is
[03:50] <scott_> is there a program that will take photos and convert them into a video sideshow
[03:50] <jrib> ogre: what package did you install for virtualbox?
[03:51] <bluekb> nickrud, thank you.  I have confirmed why I think nvidia is not working: kernel update.
[03:51] <uid000> before removing the Ti 4200, i disabled the proprietary driver, reenabling 'nv'
[03:51] <bluekb> I didn't realize it.
[03:51] <joh6nn> i'm seeing the weirdest damn behavior from apt-cache, and i have no idea what's causing it: any search i run has lots of blank lines mixed in with the output, and once the search is done, bash acts like i held down the enter key
[03:51] <bluekb> Now, to figure out how to update the nvidia drivers.
[03:51] <nickrud> m0u5e: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[03:51] <m0u5e> oh crap, i have an SGI
[03:51] <Ticonderoga> Maybe I'll just re-read the community docs then...
[03:51] <lazy247x> i need help install glxboot?? -- it doesnt want to display splash screen.. i been on it for 3 days now??
[03:51] <uid000> now i can't get the binary driver to work with the new(er) 5200, and i'm pulling my hair out
[03:51] <nickrud> bluekb: if you are using the ubuntu drivers , install linux-generic that will keep them up to date
[03:51] <jrib> joh6nn: is it reproducable in a new terminal?
[03:51] <genii> John_R: Perhaps your Enter key is sticking
[03:51] <m0u5e> nickrud: i need to know my graphics card :X
[03:52] <nickrud> m0u5e:  lspci | grep -i vga
[03:52] <genii> oops
[03:52] <joh6nn> jrib: reproducible over and over again, in xterm and konsole
[03:52] <nickrud> m0u5e: gpu, cpu what's the diff :)
[03:52] <uid000> any suggestions?
[03:52] <jw144000> poningru: I did exactly what you said, and when I typed fixmbr at the command prompt, it did nothing
[03:52] <joh6nn> closed both of them, reopened them, still happening
[03:52] <bluekb> nickrud, I had trouble with the ubuntu drivers;  had to install from nvidia's downloads.
[03:52] <genii> John_R: Sorry, misdirect :)
[03:52] <poningru> jw144000: what did it say?
[03:52] <jrib> joh6nn: only with apt-cache?
[03:52] <ogre> jrib:  1 sec
[03:52] <nickrud> bluekb: then you have to do a complete new install, or at least recompile the kernel modules
[03:52] <m0u5e> argh... i have a 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter
[03:52] <jw144000> Well, I typed R to get to the recovery console, then it went to this command prompt, I typed fixmbr and it did nothing
[03:52] <genii> joh6nn: : Perhaps your Enter key is sticking
[03:53] <m0u5e> anyone know how to get it to work w/ compiz? :X
[03:53] <joh6nn> jrib: best as i can tell.  other commands i've tried seem unaffected
[03:53] <poningru> jw144000: err I meant fixboot
[03:53] <poningru> jw144000: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/termsf/p/fixboot.htm
[03:53] <joh6nn> genii: not as far as i can tell; i'm not having problems with any other commands
[03:53] <bluekb> nickrud, complete new install of what?  Ubuntu?  Or the drivers?
[03:54] <jw144000> OK, so just type fixboot at the command prompt?
[03:54] <oboy03> I installed ubuntu using my entire hardisk, can i install another linux OS without removing ubuntu?
[03:54] <oboy03> or should i partition again?
[03:54] <nickrud> bluekb: the nvidia drivers from their site
[03:54] <CVD-PR> eclipse o netbeans?   GUI and console  :-)
[03:54] <nickrud> m0u5e: try installing xserver-xgl , logging out and back in
[03:54] <uid000> hi, all. i'm wondering if i could get some troubleshooting help with an nivida gf fx 5200 and the nvidia binary drivers?
[03:54] <m0u5e> nickrud: xserver-xgl runs really slow thouhg
[03:54] <lazy247x> help with GFXboot.. please??
[03:54] <m0u5e> nickrud: i tried it, but it was even slower than using the generic drivers
[03:54] <nickrud> m0u5e: that's how you get compiz with sis I read
[03:55] <m0u5e> nickrud: :(
[03:55] <nickrud> m0u5e: it's also why I'm not running compiz on my ati chip
[03:55] <m0u5e> nickrud: *sigh*
[03:55] <bluekb> augh.  I forgot which driver I needed...
[03:55] <iieieie> how do i update amarok? its 1.4.7 and when i try to in the terminal it says it takes no arguments...
[03:55] <m0u5e> nickrud: didn't ati release source code a few months ago?
[03:56] <m0u5e> iieieie: try sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade
[03:56] <nickrud> m0u5e: yes, but the aiglx support leaves a lot to be desired. I'm using the new one for the suspend support
[03:56] <oboy03> I installed ubuntu using my entire hardisk, can i install another linux OS without removing ubuntu?
[03:56] <m0u5e> nickrud: @_@;
[03:56] <tristanmike> Hi all, does anyone know about a broken flash player after an update ?
[03:56] <nickrud> !flashissus | tristanmike
[03:56] <joh6nn> oboy03: yes, but i'd recommend backing up any important files before you try
[03:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about flashissus - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[03:56] <nickrud> !flashissues | tristanmike
[03:56] <ubotu> tristanmike: The Flash plugin installation has been broken for some time. A fix has been released now, although it might not have yet reached all mirrors. If the update fails to install Flash, try « sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree ; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree »
[03:56] <oboy03> thanks
[03:56] <whoaitsphil> does anyone here use Crossover Office for anything?
[03:56] <m0u5e> oboy03: resize the partition?
[03:56] <tristanmike> thanks nickrud :D
[03:56] <uid000> does anyone know what's going on with the following nvidia messages in syslog:
[03:56] <uid000> Feb  7 21:44:12 kessel kernel: [   40.886353] NVRM: RM/client version mismatch!!
[03:56] <uid000> Feb  7 21:44:12 kessel kernel: [   40.886362] NVRM:    aborting to avoid catastrophe!
[03:57] <oboy03> yes can i resize it?
[03:57] <m0u5e> wasn't the flash issue fixed today?
[03:57] <joh6nn> oboy03: it would require you to resize your ext3 filesystem, which is relatively safe, but anything that messes with partitions and filesystems has risks
[03:57] <m0u5e> oboy03: try gparted
[03:57] <oboy03> ok
[03:57] <Webu> !flashissue | m0u5e
[03:57] <oboy03> example i wanna install opensuse too
[03:57] <ubotu> m0u5e: The Flash plugin installation has been broken for some time. A fix has been released now, although it might not have yet reached all mirrors.

[03:57] <iieieie> argh
[03:57] <whoaitsphil> i'm trying to use crossover office to run world of warcraft on ubuntu but i'm having trouble installing the expansion...it doesn't recognize that the original game is installed so it won't let me install the expansion
[03:58] <iieieie> it still says the update command takes no arguments
[03:58] <oboy03> it says partition hardisk and use freed space to install
[03:58] <singlesun> the attempt to mount a filesystem with type swap in IDE1 master, partition #5 (hda5) at none failed. <--- this error was given from that partitioning gui ubuntu uses... can i somehow access fdisk? to format or someone know how to fix?
[03:58] <oboy03> is it safe?
[03:58] <joh6nn> oboy03: STOP!
[03:58] <tristanmike> nickrud, does that require a reboot ?
[03:58] <joh6nn> do not, repeat, DO NOT run gparted from your current install
[03:58] <oboy03> ok
[03:58] <joh6nn> run gparted from the liveCD
[03:58] <xenthro> Q: i have 2000 photos i dont want to sort through. some of them are very blurry. is there a package/script/plugin SOMETHING/ANYTHING that will separate the blurry from non-blurry ones?
[03:58] <oboy03> im not doing it yet anyway :)
[03:59] <joh6nn> ok, good
[03:59] <Erealz> anyone use truecrypt
[03:59] <xenthro> Erealz, yes
[03:59] <oboy03> :)
[03:59] <drpcken> i'm trying to access share folders on my XP machine.  I have samba installed on my ubuntu, and can see my xp machine under Network but when I try to access it it says Folder Contents could not be displayed.  What am I missing?
[03:59] <scotty> is there a program that will convert photos a video sideshow
[03:59] <iieieie> someone please tell me how to get the latest version of amarok
[03:59] <joh6nn> xenthro: when all else fails, ask www.freshmeat.net
[03:59] <Erealz> xenthro I just installed vir 5.0
[03:59] <iieieie> i tried to use apt-get update amarok but it said that it takes no arguments
[03:59] <Ticonderoga> Do any of you know how to share file folders between XP and Ubuntu?
[03:59] <Pici> iieieie: What version do you have?
[03:59] <iieieie> 1.4.7
[03:59] <Erealz> I notice it didn't install a link on my desktop or menues
[03:59] <tristanmike> Ticonderoga, check out Samba
[03:59] <Erealz> I maid my own link
[03:59] <iieieie> i need the newer one to use my ipod
[04:00] <drpcken> Ticonderoga, thats what i'm trying to do now
[04:00] <masequis> at one time someone showed me how to spell check in chatzilla, but I've forgotten how.  Can anyone remind me?
[04:00] <Erealz> but I can't find the icon
[04:00] <xenthro> joh6nn, thanks, will look there
[04:00] <Ticonderoga> What is Samba?
[04:00] <Erealz> where woulld it be located at?
[04:00] <Pici> iieieie: If you are running Gutsy, than that is the latest version in the repositories.
[04:00] <tristanmike> !Samba
[04:00] <ubotu> Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT.
[04:00] <whoaitsphil> i'm trying to use crossover office to run world of warcraft on ubuntu but i'm having trouble installing the expansion...it doesn't recognize that the original game is installed so it won't let me install the expansion...anyone have any experience with crossover office?
[04:00] <ushimitsudoki> Erealz: Search Google Images for the icon ... the package doesn't have one (as far as I could tell)
[04:00] <joh6nn> iieieie: apt-get install amarok, not apt-get update amaork
[04:00] <xenthro> Erealz, just hit ALT+F2 and type in truecrypt
[04:00] <joh6nn> apt-get update does something else
[04:00] <Erealz> ah yea that just start it up
[04:00] <drpcken> i have samba installed but i'm getting an error on my ubuntu when trying to access xp, Folder contents could not be displayed
[04:01] <Ticonderoga> I already have both computers seeing each other in the workgroup, ubuntu one is set with smb. I just can't login...
[04:01] <iieieie> i tried, but it claims that it is already the latest version
[04:01] <iieieie> even though it isnt
[04:01] <flake> how can I copy my kde to give me another session option before logging into it so I can change things around and if I mess it up, I can just delete the session and go back to kde
[04:01] <Erealz> I just wanted the nice lil icon on my desktop or dockbar
[04:01] <uid000> anybody have any insight into the following nvidia message in syslog:  NVRM: RM/client version mismatch
[04:01] <joh6nn> any search i run in apt-cache has lots of blank lines mixed in with the output, and once the search is done, bash acts like i held down the enter key; anyone know what might cause that?
[04:01] <Ticonderoga> I've been to those links, none of them did any good.
[04:01] <KiD_ChAoS> should i go to Suse?
[04:01] <jetscreamer> look at session manager in control
[04:01] <joh6nn> flake: say again?
[04:02] <hanophix33> can anyone tell me why some websites dont "fit" in firefix?
[04:02] <joh6nn> hanophix33: what website?
[04:02] <DWonderly> will 32 bit ubuntu work on a AMD64 chipset?
[04:02] <hanophix33> cnn.com for example
[04:02] <jrib> DWonderly: yes
[04:02] <hanophix33> the headlines are on 2 lines
[04:02] <drpcken> hanophix33, is it your font perhaps?
[04:02] <oboy03> can i use ubuntu to virus scan a windows hardisk?
[04:02] <KiD_ChAoS> hanophix33, your resolution is probably set to 600 X 480 please correct
[04:02] <masequis> DWonderly: yes.
[04:02] <oboy03> what program to use?
[04:02] <singlesun> DWonderly, yes i am running 32 bit on mine, because i dont like the java and flash issues of 64... lol
[04:02] <hanophix33> kid_chaos:  on proper resolution
[04:02] <jrib> oboy03: clam av
[04:02] <oboy03> clam
[04:02] <DWonderly> singlesun that is why I was wondering.
[04:03] <masequis> DWonderly: in fact I recomend it..
[04:03] <deuchi> Hello everybody
[04:03] <joh6nn> hanophix33: what's your resolution?
[04:03] <singlesun> DWonderly, ;) its better... i promise you that
[04:03] <KiD_ChAoS> hanophix33, trying using dual monitors, that ought to fix it
[04:03] <DWonderly> Thanks Guys. I'll be back once I get it running :) YOU GUYS ROCK!
[04:03] <Ticonderoga> Apparently Samba is already installed.
[04:03] <hanophix33> 1024 768
[04:03] <drpcken> Ticonderoga, yes i'm having hte same issue
[04:03] <jw144000> poningru: I typed in fixboot c: and it said it couldn't find the drive
[04:03] <joh6nn> hanophix33: any extensions installed?
[04:03] <drpcken> i can see my xp box but can't access it
[04:03] <Ticonderoga> I can send printing jobs from Ubuntu to XP and that works fine, I'm just stuck on file sharing.
[04:04] <hanophix33> joh6nn:  ubufox
[04:04] <joh6nn> drpcken: are you sure you have the permissions and what not all set up? i've never used samba, but i'm guessing it doesn't just give access
[04:04] <lotia> drpcken: do you have samba installed.
[04:04] <joh6nn> joh6nn: screenshot?
[04:04] <uid000> hi, i'm fairly stuck here getting the nvidia drivers to work.  wonder if anybody has any troubleshooting tips.  just upgraded an older (ti 4200) card to a slightly less old (fx 5200) card.
[04:04] <lotia> Ticonderoga: i mean do you have samba installed?
[04:04] <Ticonderoga> Yeah
[04:04] <poningru> jw144000: dude did you try to bootup?
[04:04] <Erealz> hey real quick how do you move a pic/file to another dir
[04:04] <poningru> from windows?
[04:04] <masequis> When I rebooted my box today it took a LONG time to get to login.. maybe fschk? but I've never seen it take that long before.
[04:04] <drpcken> lotia, yes i have sama installed
[04:05] <Ticonderoga> Samba is how my Ubuntu communicates with the Windows Printer
[04:05] <poningru> jw144000: http://askbobrankin.com/fix_mbr.html
[04:05] <poningru> see that explains it very well
[04:05] <jw144000> jw144000: I went to the recovery console by pressing R, it took me to the command prompt, I typed fixboot c: and it said it couldn't find the drive
[04:05] <drpcken> joh6nn, you mean my permissions on the xp box?
[04:05] <iieieie> someone please help me update to amarok 1.4.8
[04:05] <masequis> uid000: Did you simply install from Synaptic?
[04:05] <joh6nn> Erealz: mv path/filename newpath/newfilefame
[04:05] <iieieie> its not letting me
[04:05] <uid000> masequis: i've tried several things
[04:05] <joh6nn> drpcken: i'm just taking shots in the dark.  but yeah, on both the XP box, and in the samba config files
[04:05] <deuchi> I have a serious problem, I have followed all the instructions to install Ubuntu with Vista ... but it still bugging, I installed grub into the disk where ubuntu is installed and I use EasyBCD to modify the boot.ini of windows to access to grub
[04:05] <uid000> masequis: here's how it went
[04:05] <joh6nn> drpcken: i'm guessing they'd have to be synched
[04:05] <deuchi> I seriously don't know how to do now ...
[04:06] <masequis> uid000: mmm.. what card was it again?
[04:06] <drpcken> iieieie, first run  sudo apt-get remove amarok
[04:06] <uid000> it /was/ a ti 4200, and is now a fx 5200
[04:06] <drpcken> iieieie, then run    sudo apt-get install amarok
[04:06] <hanophix33> joh6nn:  any idea for me?
[04:06] <drpcken> that should put the latest on for you
[04:06] <drpcken> i did it today
[04:06] <KiD_ChAoS> i need help building a sinister LKM
[04:06] <joh6nn> hanophix33: can you upload a screenshot of what you're seeing somewhere?
[04:06] <singlesun> amarok is the best ;)
[04:07] <nickrud> drpcken: isn't 1.4.7 the latest in the repos?
[04:07] <uid000> masequis: before removing the old card, i disabled the restricted driver in the restricted driver applet, reenabling 'nv'
[04:07] <jw144000> poningru: I typed the fixboot command after I went to the recovery console and it said it couldn't find the drive
[04:07] <jw144000> never mind
[04:07] <hanophix33> joh6nn: to where?
[04:07] <uid000> then i installed the new card and then reinstalled the restricted driver.
[04:07] <poningru> jw144000: if the fixmbr thing 'did nothing' I am pretty sure that means it was done
[04:07] <jw144000> I didn't see the link you posted
[04:07] <joh6nn> hanophix33: anywhere you have access to.  if you haven't got anywhere to upload it, no worries
[04:07] <poningru> jw144000: http://askbobrankin.com/fix_mbr.html
[04:07] <drpcken> nickrud, yes you are right, i just checked and mines 1.4.7
[04:08] <poningru> jw144000: pretty sure it was fixed
[04:08] <drpcken> nickrud, oops :)
[04:08] <poningru> jw144000: try booting from that hdd
[04:08] <whoaitsphil> does anyone play World of Warcraft on their linux box?
[04:08] <nickrud> drpcken: but you were right, that's the correct way to get the latest _supported_ amarok ;)
[04:08] <uid000> masequis: i have tried using synaptic to completely remove all nvidia drivers and reinstall them
[04:08] <drpcken> nickrud, second day using Ubuntu, i'd say that was pretty good advice ;)
[04:08] <Erealz> thnx
[04:09] <uid000> masequis: i'm at wit's end
[04:09] <jw144000> poningru: I still get the grub error
[04:09] <masequis> uid000: mmm.. what error are you getting?
[04:09] <hanophix33> joh6nn:  i dont have anywhere to put it
[04:10] <poningru> jw144000: try it with the fixmbr but without the C:
[04:10] <uid000> masequis: in syslog, i'm getting:

[04:10] <poningru> err fixboot without the C:
[04:10] <hanophix33> but it makes some webpages look pretty confusing, especially when lines screw up formats
[04:10] <Ticonderoga> All this reading of the samba stuff put me back at square one. I'm still stuck with not able to login either from windows to ubuntu or ubuntu to windows. Windows, the login just repeats, Ubuntu just says no permission.
[04:10] <masequis> uid000: oy.. that can't be good.

[04:12] <masequis> uid000: just doing what you've probably already spent 2 hours doing.. little google'n.
[04:12] <jason> i just installed it

[04:13] <jason> it is a errror anout dameon or somthing like that
[04:13] <scott_> thank you
[04:13] <uid000> masequis: just don't understand what could cause it to not work, when it works find in a fresh install. clearly something having to do with the previous card being replaced
[04:13] <iieieie> i cant seem to do it through command line
[04:14] <masequis> maybe something in xorg.conf?
[04:14] <iieieie> plus
[04:14] <barrumbado> hello

[04:14] <masequis> uid000: some options in xorg.conf?
[04:14] <iieieie> and cant do it by downloading the tar.gz
[04:14] <joh6nn> hanophix33: hard to say without being able to see it
[04:14] <iieieie> ughh
[04:14] <barrumbado> im not really a newbie
[04:14] <barrumbado> lol
[04:14] <joh6nn> cnn is loading just fine for me, so it's definitely something to do with your box

[04:15] <drpcken> hmm my xbox media center can connect via samba to my xp machine, but ubuntu cannot
[04:15] <singlesun> iieieie, cant you just go into the command line  "sudo apt-get install amarok" ?
[04:15] <Optimus> hello, i feel like an idiot asking this, but, will standard 32bit ubuntu work on an amd64 system?
[04:15] <uid000> Optimus: yup

[04:15] <Optimus> thx
[04:15] <jason> has any one tryed screenlets for gusty ubuntu? i havr a problem i think its becouse i dont have damoin instaled should i try that?
[04:15] <singlesun> Optimus, i also am running 32 bit on my 64 amd and i like it better
[04:16] <barrumbado> sorry jason i havent
[04:16] <joh6nn> anybody have any guess what would make apt-cache start spitting out blank lines in any search?
[04:16] <Hinata`> Starnestommy: yeah I know and I can't really correct it
[04:16] <Starnestommy> iieieie: you may need to wait until 1.4.8 gets in the repositories.  1.4.7 should be fine.
[04:16] <jason> hmm
[04:16] <drpcken> iieieie, http://www.mepislovers.org/forums/showthread.php?t=12234

[04:16] <iieieie> because 1.4.7 doesnt work with my ipod
[04:16] <iieieie> i need 1.4.8
[04:16] <Optimus> singlesun: yea, getting stuff to work on the 64bit is just a pain in the but
[04:16] <Hinata`> (sorry for my bad english)
[04:16] <singlesun> iieieie, looked for a .deb of it?
[04:16] <n> hai
[04:16] <Oxygenetik> isn't there an LGBT Ubuntu??
[04:16] <iieieie> im not sure what that is...
[04:16] <Webu> iieieie, 1.4.7 is the latest Amarok avaible from Ubuntu repositories, if you want to use 1.4.8 you need to compile it from source by yourself or just wait until 1.4.8 gets in the repositories.
[04:16] <Optimus> kthxbai
[04:16] <drpcken> singlesun, i just sent it to him
[04:16] <singlesun> Optimus, yep i messed with it for about 2 weeks and chunked it... just didnt like it

[04:17] <singlesun> drpcken, cool ;) i was just about to look it up
[04:17] <barrumbado> anybody know how to setup vpn on ubuntu gutsy
[04:17] <iieieie> compile it from source?

[04:17] <m0u5e>  compiling from source would be your best bet
[04:17] <drpcken> singlesun, i've never compiled from source :)
[04:17] <singlesun> drpcken, checking
[04:17] <iieieie> but opening up the install text its like alien text to me
[04:17] <astro76> iieieie: amarok 1.4.8 is in gutsy-backports
[04:17] <iieieie> i cant understand it
[04:18] <iieieie> gutsy backports? what does that mean?
[04:18] <m0u5e> compiling from source is easy, all you have to do is 1)./configure 2) sudo checkinstall
[04:18] <singlesun> drpcken, well i will test it on mine real quick

[04:18] <singlesun> im curious as well
[04:18] <uid000> masequis: i think somehow the nvidia driver package must not've uninstalled cleanly and is leaving something behind

[04:19] <nickrud> support for 3d gen nanos for me

[04:21] <masequis> uid000: a fresh install I beleive won't use the nvidia 3d driver tho will it?  I thought it defaulted to vesa and I had to use synaptic to get nvidia native?
[04:22] <bruenig> that is one ugly firefox theme
[04:22] <uid000> masequis: sorry--i wasn't clear.  i tried a fresh install of ubuntu. then i enabled the nvidia binary drivers, and they worked.
[04:22] <hanophix33> joh6nn:  you there?

[04:25] <jorje_villafan>  I can't get linux to behave properly on my computer. I have tried multiple distros, and ubuntu has worked the best.... My issues are that I get weird graphical behavior and occasional freeze-ups.

Also, after rebooting following a freeze-up it runs REALLY bad. I put in new 2gb  of ram to see if t

[04:26] <singlesun> jorje_villafan, im no expert on this, but are you making sure you have the right video card drivers?
[04:26] <creeed> I connect a second monitor with the laptop and I wanna switch to it without restarting the X-server, any help please?
[04:26] <hanophix33> joh6nn:  thought u had it, but it doesn't format correctly until font isnt readable
[04:27] <connnky> i just rebooted my ubuntu box and my eth0 is no longer grabbing an ip and i'm seeing something called eth0:avah.  why is avahi creating a fake nic and assigning it a random ip?
[04:27] <joh6nn> hanophix33: yeah, i figured as much.  the only thing that's wrong then, is just that 1024x768 isn't the optimal resolution for your monitor.  try setting it at a higher resolution
[04:27] <joh6nn> otherwise,,, you just have to live with it
[04:28] <connnky> and more importantly, how can i stop it?

[04:29] <poningru> sorry dude dont know
[04:29] <jw144000> My external hard drive is unplugged
[04:29] <jw144000> But it's saying it can't recognize the drive when I type fixboot
[04:29] <jw144000> My internal one
[04:29] <poningru> try the fixmbr thing again
[04:30] <connnky> Webu, interesting... thanks
[04:30] <joh6nn> hanophix33: then you're out of luck, i think.  ; (
[04:30] <poningru> are you sure you did it right?
[04:30] <jorje_villafan> singlesun, I do not have a video card. I believe that my video is from a SiS chip. How do I tell if I have the right driver?
[04:30] <Webu> connnky, it disappears if you reboot or do "ifdown ethX" and "ifup ethX", but yeah, do you have any clue why can't you get an IP from your DHCP?
[04:30] <joh6nn> any search i run in apt-cache has lots of blank lines mixed in with the output, and once the search is done, bash acts like i held down the enter key; anyone know what might cause that?
[04:30] <jw144000> you type fixboot then the drive, right? I did that and it wouldn't recognize the drive
[04:30] <hanophix33> john6nn:  http://mosaicwd.hypermart.net/Screenshot-1.png
[04:30] <jw144000> It didn't even ask for my password or anything, just took me to a command prompt
[04:30] <creeed> I connect a second monitor with the laptop and I wanna switch to it without restarting the X-server, any help please?

[04:30] <_Oz_> I'm a recent Ubuntu convert
[04:31] <_Oz_> I must say...  I am highly impressed

[04:31] <hanophix33> _oz_:  have u tried WINE?
[04:31] <singlesun> _Oz_, can you run photoshop through wine?
[04:31] <singlesun> !wine
[04:31] <ubotu> WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.
[04:31] <_Oz_> hano: unfortunately, I am running an XP desktop to my right. :)
[04:31] <connnky> Webu, i'm not sure.  i might have done something to shorewall to block dhcp but the rest of my gentoo machines stiff get ips
[04:31] <jorje_villafan> Np, I'll try to look it up now anyways
[04:31] <_Oz_> Yes, I'm running WINE.  I can't get PS CS2 to run correctly in it.
[04:31] <Jack_Sparrow> _Oz_: one version of photoshop runs in wine
[04:31] <jw144000> poningru: brb
[04:32] <poningru> jw144000: I dont think it found the windows drive
[04:32] <jw144000> No, it didn't
[04:32] <hanophix33> _oz_:  i thought there recent update fixed that
[04:32] <jw144000> It didn't find it
[04:32] <Diljan> I run all my windows apps via VMware server and 2Xapplication server
[04:32] <Jack_Sparrow> _Oz_: See the people in #Winehq  they can help you dial it in
[04:32] <_Oz_> jack sparrow: CS2?  I found a tutorial, but I can't get it to work the way the tutorial suggested.
[04:32] <poningru> jw144000: what windows version is it?
[04:32] <poningru> its not vista is it?
[04:32] <jw144000> Windows XP Home Edition
[04:32] <Diljan> that way there is no need for dual booting
[04:32] <masequis> uid000: Have you tried uninstalling the linux-restricted-modules package?
[04:32] <jw144000> No
[04:32] <_Oz_> Thanks, Jacj
[04:32] <_Oz_> Jack
[04:32] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[04:32] <uid000> masequis: sadly, yes.
[04:32] <Webu> connnky, (avahi is a package so it's a feature, it just tries to set you some kind of an IP i believe)
[04:32] <poningru> jw144000: not the cd but the one in your hdd
[04:33] <n> boleh kenalan gak
[04:33] <jw144000> poningru: The Windows in my HDD is Win XP Home Edition
[04:33] <barurot69> thanks guys for the info
[04:33] <hanophix33> joh6nn:  did u see my last link
[04:33] <uid000> masequis: is is so frustrating.  it should be so trivial
[04:33] <Jaza> I have a question is there a quicktime equivalent program on ubuntu?
[04:33] <joh6nn> hanophix33: yeah man. that sucks
[04:33] <Skwerl> I'm currently running standard Gutsy. If I were to install the server version, would I lose my users, packages, and other data?
[04:33] <Webu> connnky, you might try to run "sudo dhclient ethX", replace X with # of your eth interface :)
[04:33] <joh6nn> i think you're just SOL
[04:33] <hanophix33> joh6nn:  yea
[04:33] <_Oz_> One other Q: is there any way to get a laptop w/ integrated wireless card onto my network?
[04:33] <hanophix33> can anyone help me with the firefix problem?
[04:33] <_Oz_> Ubuntu's biggest weakness seems to be wireless networking
[04:33] <masequis> uid000: yeah.. I've felt lucky that my nvidia installs have gone smoothy..
[04:33] <Jack_Sparrow> _0
[04:33] <Jaza> I'm trying to get a certain wen sites but they won't work unless I have quicktime
[04:33] <hanophix33> _Oz_:  whats going on with u
[04:34] <joh6nn> _Oz_: what kind of wireless chip does your laptop have?
[04:34] <oboy03> does ext3 get fragmented like ntfs?
[04:34] <singlesun> _Oz_, that is all LInux's biggest weakness especially when it comes to wpa
[04:34] <poningru> jw144000: I dont know what to tell you
[04:34] <uid000> masequis: yeah, they generally do which is why i always buy nvidia
[04:34] <_Oz_> I have a desktop computer with a PCI wireless card but I can't get the card to work.
[04:34] <hanophix33> Jack_Sparrow:  http://mosaicwd.hypermart.net/Screenshot-1.png
[04:34] <_Oz_> It's a Linksys card.
[04:34] <Tgif> i dont have any problem with wireless
[04:34] <joh6nn> oboy03: ext3 will fragment much much more slowly than ntfs
[04:34] <Jack_Sparrow> _Oz_: Dont blame us, blame the mfg's that dont supply drivers.. Yes you can get wifi to work..
[04:34] <poningru> jw144000: what you can do is re install grub
[04:34] <poningru> !grub
[04:34] <ubotu> 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
[04:34] <joh6nn> oboy03: so yes, it will fragment, but for most things, you won't need to worry about it
[04:34] <uid000> masequis: i've just never tried swapping out one card for another on a system before
[04:34] <_Oz_> Jack: I'm not blaming anyone...  Ubuntu is GREAT! ...  I just wish I could get online wirelessly.
[04:34] <hanophix33> _Oz_:  ndiswrapper, windows driver installer
[04:34] <Jack_Sparrow> hanophix33: What am I looking at
[04:34] <oboy03> oic
[04:34] <oboy03> thanks
[04:34] <_Oz_> Yeah, I tried ndiswrapper, hano...
[04:35] <jw144000> poningru: Where do I type !grub at
[04:35] <connnky> Webu, yah tried that a few times, avahi keeps coming back and dhclient still wont talk to my dnsmasq
[04:35] <_Oz_> the card is kind of old.  That's probably why I can't get it to work.
[04:35] <hanophix33> Jack_Sparrow:  Firefox fonts screwing up formatting
[04:35] <poningru> jw144000: hehe no
[04:35] <_Oz_> It's an 801.11b card
[04:35] <masequis> uid000: I just did it a few days ago.. and I didn't even have the forsight to uninstall the driver before.. of course.. maybe that's why mine worked?
[04:35] <_Oz_> not even G
[04:35] <poningru> jw144000: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[04:35] <hanophix33> jack_sparrow:  or firefox screwing something up
[04:35] <Oxygenetik> oh man! i did "sudo rm -rf /" in ubuntu (without quotes)! It's the best command ever! I'm SO HAPPY NOW! :D
[04:35] <poningru> jw144000: reinstall the grub
[04:35] <Jack_Sparrow> hanophix33: Only in firefox?
[04:35] <creeed> I have a intel GMA X3100 graphik-chip and I wanna switch to the second connected screen of my laptop eithout restarting the X-server, please help?
[04:35] <poningru> then have it try to autodetect windows
[04:35] <masequis> uid000: I went from a 7600gt to an 8600gt..
[04:36] <hanophix33> Jack_Sparrow:  havent tried anything else
[04:36] <masequis> uid000: just swapped them and booted..
[04:36] <_Oz_> One thing I'm still kinda clueless on is the file structure.  Is there a simple, easy to read, easy to understand document that explains how Ubuntu's file structure works?  I installed Office 2003 via Crossover and I can't figure out where in the hell the files are installed. :)
[04:36] <hanophix33> Jack_Sparrow:  ctrl +- doesnt do much until fonts are unreadable
[04:36] <oboy03> can i make a recovery point without using CD or dvd?
[04:36] <Jack_Sparrow> hanophix33: I am thinking you lost your window decorator... I would check with the people in #Compiz
[04:36] <Jaza>  I have a question is there a quicktime equivalent program on ubuntu?I'm trying to get a certain wen sites but they won't work unless I have quicktime
[04:36] <joh6nn> _Oz_: are you coming from a different linux distro, or from windows?
[04:37] <hanophix33> Jack_sparrow:  gracias
[04:37] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[04:37] <_Oz_> from windows
[04:37] <isomorphism> Hi all, I lost audio after force quitting mythtv while playing a DVD using AC3 passthrough.  All audio is through an external receiver.  This has happened before and I resorted to reinstalling.  Any suggestions as to how to fix this?
[04:37] <_Oz_> I am relatively clueless on linux
[04:37] <Webu> connnky, i see, avahi is just a failsafe, looks like your DHCP doesn't answer. Your ethernet interface should be ok and working (ifconfig)?
[04:37] <singlesun> _Oz_, i suggest the book "Running Linux"
[04:37] <uid000> masequis: i wish this had got that easily
[04:37] <jw144000> poningru: I'm a newbie to Linux and I don't want to screw anything up
[04:37] <poningru> jw144000: I still think that the windows cd should be able to do fixmbr
[04:37] <_Oz_> Is Ubuntu the most popular flavor of Linux OS' these days?
[04:37] <poningru> you should retry it
[04:37] <uid000> masequis: i think the gefororce 5xxx and the 4xxx must not use the same driver
[04:37] <jw144000> poningru: BTW, I never saw an option to install grub when I installed Ubuntu on the external HDD
[04:38] <hanophix33> _oz_:  we enjoy it, obviously
[04:38] <joh6nn> _Oz_: then i'll try and make it as simple as i can: "/" is roughly equal "C:\".
[04:38] <Jack_Sparrow> _Oz_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Training    Might be of use
[04:38] <singlesun> _Oz_, based upon the channel listing at the moment this is the most popular channel.. so?
[04:38] <jw144000> do you type fixmbr and then the drive?
[04:38] <poningru> jw144000: I think that was my fault you were supposed to press advanced button
[04:38] <Ticonderoga> I don't think my question is being understood. I have instead, drawn up a diagram of the problem, including snap shots from both ends. http://www.techsonic.net/images/issue01.png
[04:38] <masequis> _Oz_: Welcome.. but you're going to say unholy words for a half a year.. but in the end.. you'll come to love it.
[04:38] <oboy03> yeah try the training manuals its very informative im reading it ryt now
[04:38] <joh6nn> /etc is rougly equal to the registry; it's where most of your configuration and setup files get stored.  /home/yourname is like My Documents
[04:39] <singlesun> masequis, i still say unholy words
[04:39] <jw144000> poningru: So try fixmbr and not fixboot?
[04:39] <poningru> jw144000: yeah
[04:39] <jw144000> poningru: And include the drive name?
[04:39] <joh6nn> and /usr is roughly equivalent to C:\Program Files
[04:39] <masequis> uid000: THe very ugly alternative is to download the driver...
[04:39] <poningru> jw144000: no dont think so
[04:39] <_Oz_> joh6nn: thanks for the / to c:/ comparison :)
[04:39] <uid000> masequis: i might try that.
[04:39] <iieieie> does anyone know how i can update libgpod to be 0.6.0?
[04:39] <_Oz_> I have some very minor linux sysadmin experience so I understood that.
[04:39] <poningru> http://www.computerhope.com/fixmbr.htm
[04:39] <uid000> masequis: if all else fails to a clean install of the whole OS
[04:39] <jw144000> poningru: So if that doesn't work, and I still get this grub error, what should I do?
[04:39] <joh6nn> _Oz_: no problem
[04:39] <masequis> uid000: frustrating tho that it works on a new install.. some package is hosed..
[04:39] <_Oz_> But where does Crossover install Office 2003?  It drives me nuts that I can't find the files.
[04:40] <jw144000> poningru: It sounds like I won't have a choice but to reformat and reinstall everything
[04:40] <joh6nn> _Oz_: you comfortable on the command line?
[04:40] <poningru> jw144000: uh... no just reinstall the mbr
[04:40] <Jaza> I have a question is there a quicktime equivalent program on ubuntu?I'm trying to get a certain wen sites but they won't work unless I have quicktime
[04:40] <connnky> Webu, i think maybe if i can stop avahi from starting at boot i will have better luck debugging.  so heres a noob question: how to i control startup services from the command line in ubuntu?
[04:40] <poningru> master boot record
[04:40] <masequis> singlesun: me too.. but not as frequently :)  Ubuntu is like cake compared to some of those early distros.
[04:40] <singlesun> _Oz_, a little suggestion is going to Places > Home and then in the menu telling it to "show hidden files"
[04:40] <jw144000> poningru: BRB again
[04:40] <BetaTest> Evidently there's a "super" key... where is it? Is it the Windows key between ctrl and alt?
[04:41] <singlesun> masequis, you are telling me... lol i just got done messing with slack and gentoo a few minutes ago... lol
[04:41] <connnky> BetaTest, yes
[04:41] <Jack_Sparrow> yes
[04:41] <_Oz_> singlesun: yeah, already did that, that's how I found .wine
[04:41] <iieieie> please someone help me update libgpod to 0.6.0
[04:41] <BetaTest> Oh, thank you
[04:41] <flake> how can i copy my kde session to a test one so if I lose my panels and k-menu, i can delete the test session?
[04:41] <_Oz_> thank you though
[04:41] <_Oz_> I have to say, I am really impressed
[04:41] <_Oz_> I am a disenchanted windows user
[04:41] <iieieie> i enabled all the repositories
[04:41] <iieieie> but it still wont let me update to the latest ver.
[04:41] <_Oz_> I like XP well enough, but vista pushed me over the cliff
[04:41] <uid000> masequis: i found some nvidia kernel modules that didn't get removed when i purged the package and dpkg tells me they don't belong to anyone.  i'm deleting them now. maybe that'll do it.
[04:41] <_Oz_> I installed Ubuntu as a lark and wasn't expecting much
[04:42] <_Oz_> turns out it's a highly effective, highly stable OS which allows me to do everything except run photoshop
[04:42] <Jack_Sparrow> !info libgpod
[04:42] <ubotu> Package libgpod does not exist in gutsy
[04:42] <masequis> uid000: wow...
[04:42] <_Oz_> I won't upgrade anymore with M$'s path
[04:42] <_Oz_> no more Vista.
[04:42] <flake> _Oz_  gimp roxx
[04:42] <iieieie> libgpod-common
[04:42] <_Oz_> So I have to make a choice.
[04:42] <hanophix33> _oz_:  i thinking about switching all my comps over
[04:42] <_Oz_> Either Linux, or Mac.
[04:42] <Webu> connnky, ouch i'm not so sure about that, maybe someone else knows that better :/ Make sure you don't block ports 67 and 68, they're usually used for DHCP.
[04:42] <joh6nn> flake: i don't understand your question
[04:42] <Skwerl> Why not run Linux on a Mac?
[04:42] <Jack_Sparrow> _Oz_: Learn gimp...   IT is a little clunky but realy works once you know it
[04:43] <isomorphism> Anyone have any suggestions for my lost audio problem?
[04:43] <masequis> _Oz_: apple wants MORE money than MS tho.. but they have a level of quality..
[04:43] <hanophix33> Jack_Sparrow: is gimp better than PS?
[04:43] <_Oz_> Being that I'm a Windows guy and used to how that works, it seems Linux is a better fit rather than Mac.  Mac is a little too... fruity for me.  Linux seems like it's built and supported by people who treat computers as tools, not touchy-feely lifestyle devices.
[04:43] <singlesun> fruity... haha
[04:43] <flake> let me ask another way..  i want to add kpfx or whatever it's called to try it out, will have to remove panel and remove main panel - can I get them back if for some reason the kpfx disappears?
[04:43] <iieieie> i need libgpod 0.6.0 for my ipod to work
[04:43] <_Oz_> Jack: yeah, thanks for that tip about Gimp, but I've been using Photoshop for 10 years.  I absolutely must run it.  I can't switch.
[04:43] <iieieie> but for some reason i cant get it
[04:43] <Jack_Sparrow> hanophix33: It gets the job done, it is just things are not where I was used to finding them
[04:43]  * singlesun makes notation that Mac is fruity
[04:44] <flake> cause i like my kde3 setup, it's prefect
[04:44] <masequis> _Oz_: fruity indeed.. but awfully shinny fruit.. I've been tempted.. tempted my fried.
[04:44] <joh6nn> _Oz_: if you try the gimp, be sure to try the gimpshop version of it, or you'll be lost
[04:44] <hanophix33> _Oz_:  Same here, I need PS.....I cant do without it
[04:44] <_Oz_> gimpshop? where can I find that?
[04:44] <Jangari> in the repo?
[04:44] <BetaTest> Hm... I just installed Compiz Fusion, but now all of the eye candy is gone, like the wobbly windows and the whatnot, even though the Extra visual effect is selected
[04:44] <_Oz_> Yeah, I guess it's not even worth discussing.  I absolutely must be able to run Photoshop.
[04:44] <poningru> _Oz_: http://www.gimpshop.com/
[04:44] <BetaTest> Any way of getting them back?
[04:44] <iieieie> need help installing libgpod 0.6.0
[04:44] <Jaza> I have a question is there a quicktime equivalent program on ubuntu?I'm trying to get a certain wen sites but they won't work unless I have quicktime
[04:44] <_Oz_> I understand that Crossover supports PS 7.0 at the "silver" (rather than gold) compatibility level which isn't good enough.
[04:45] <masequis> uid000: spinning cubes yet?
[04:45] <Jack_Sparrow> hanophix33: I prefer corel... to any of them..
[04:45] <connnky> Webu, got it sorted, thanks man
[04:45] <rich1> if i have a symbolic link for java libjavaplugin_oji.so can i remove the link libjavaplugin.so?
[04:45] <Guren> good evening, i need some help
[04:45] <_Oz_> I think the lowest I could go is Photoshop CS2.
[04:45] <Webu> connnky, but in general avahi shouldn't do anything since you can assign as many virtual interfaces to a physical interface you want (eth0:1, eth0:2, eth0:3). eth0 will stay as the main physical interface.
[04:45] <joh6nn> _Oz_: www.gimpshop.com. : ) alternatively, try Pixel: http://www.kanzelsberger.com/pixel/?page_id=12
[04:45] <Guren> i created an extended partition, i mounted it but can't wrtie to it, any ideas why?
[04:45] <_Oz_> I found a tutorial explaining how PS2 could run under Ubuntu but I just can't make it go despite the explicit instructions.  Just doesn't seem to work for me.
[04:45] <uid000> masequis: that didn't do the trick. but i'm trying something else.  something i noticed on the fresh install gave me an idea
[04:45] <Webu> connnky, oh that's great to hear, no problem :)
[04:45] <isomorphism> Still looking for help restoring my audio, anybody?
[04:45] <Guren> it has a lost+found folder and that's it ...
[04:45] <ogre> jrib:  sorry my battery died. I am the guy with virtualbox problem. I should say however that vmware isnt working either so its not a virtualbox specific problem. heres a screenshot of my vbox error though. http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/2985/screenshotdr2.png any suggestions?
[04:45] <nemilar> hey, why isn't Sudo asking me for a password when I sudo?
[04:45] <nemilar> That doesn't seem secure...
[04:45] <masequis> uid000: oohh... do share if it works..
[04:46] <Guren> nemilar, maybe because u already typed the password once?
[04:46] <connnky> nemilar, it caches your pass for a few minutes
[04:46] <flake> nemilar - there is a timeout..
[04:46] <nemilar> Guren: no, it just doesn't ask
[04:46] <bullgard4> [ACPI] What is meant by 'trap' in the following sentence: "This usually causes some sort of system management trap, which makes sure that the memory is put in self-refresh mode and actually sequences the machine into suspend."?
[04:46] <crimeboy> anyone knows how my gutsy pidgin dont show any icons?
[04:46] <Jack_Sparrow> Guren: Probably permissions problem.... just for fun.. try gksudo nautilus and see if you can write to it
[04:46] <nemilar> flake  connnky it doesn't ask at all
[04:46] <connnky> nemilar, type whoami on the command line
[04:46] <masequis> nemilar: you have already entered the super user pw at some point.
[04:46] <connnky> are you already root?
[04:46] <Jack_Sparrow> crimeboy: It is in the pull down menu or the upper task bar
[04:46] <nemilar> masequis no i haven't, and sudo doesn't ask for the superuser password, it asks for your user's passwod
[04:46] <nemilar> connnky: no, I am not root
[04:46] <_Oz_> is there a way to stop ubuntu from asking me for a password whenever I access the filesystem or system tools?
[04:47] <masequis> nemilar: ah.. right.
[04:47] <nemilar> lol _Oz_ you and I need to switch places
[04:47] <connnky> nemilar, have you messed with the sudoers file?
[04:47] <Cursed_6_ds> Hi! i have HP Bussiness Series 6720s laptop, and i just plugged in the ethernet cable, problem is that it doesnt recognise the network, even tried by setting static ip....
[04:47] <Jangari> wait for 8.04, _\
[04:47] <masequis> nemilar: the sudo'rs
[04:47] <_Oz_> nemilar: heheheh
[04:47] <Jangari> wait for 8.04, _Oz_
[04:47] <hanophix33> does anyone use AWN?
[04:47] <Guren> Jack_Sparrow, u .. nothing happened?
[04:47] <flake> _Oz_  - you don't want to do that unless you're not connected to a network and no one else has access to your puter
[04:47] <nemilar> connnky: no
[04:47] <Jack_Sparrow> _Oz_: You will find that you hit that problem less as you learn more about what goes where
[04:47] <crimeboy> Jack_Sparrow: both
[04:47] <uid000> masequis: i think i have something
[04:47] <_Oz_> how soon will 8.04 come out? and, can I upgrade from within ubuntu or must I install anew?
[04:47] <uid000> masequis: checking...
[04:48] <DrFrankenstein> april 2008
[04:48] <nemilar> %sudo ALL=(ALL) ALL  @ connnky masequis
[04:48] <GabiruhTankian> hey hey hey, quem ler isso vira gay!
[04:48] <connnky> nemilar, you go tme man
[04:48] <Jangari> april (that is, 04)
[04:48] <Cpudan80> _Oz_: April
[04:48] <Jaza> I have a question is there a quicktime equivalent program on ubuntu?I'm trying to get a certain wen sites but they won't work unless I have quicktime
[04:48] <_Oz_> OK, Jack
[04:48] <Guren> root can write to it
[04:48] <DrFrankenstein> Jaza, Totem
[04:48] <Jack_Sparrow> crimeboy: Then I dont understand the question
[04:48] <Cpudan80> _Oz_: you could download the alpha version -- but that is not advised
[04:48] <masequis> uid000: the suspense!!
[04:48] <Webu> _Oz_, 8 = 2008 .04 = April, 4th month :)
[04:48] <iieieie> someone please help me install libgpod 0.6.0!
[04:48] <Jangari> but you wouldn't want to log in as root or anything drastic, you might easily fvck something up
[04:48] <Jaza> thanks DrFrankenstein
[04:48] <Jack_Sparrow> !helpme
[04:48] <ubotu> Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience
[04:48] <Cpudan80> Have they figured out what the color scheme will be yet?
[04:48] <Guren> Jack_Sparrow, so do i jut chown the folder?
[04:49] <poningru> can someone give jw144000 this link http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=3340?
[04:49] <Cpudan80> Please not orange/brown again! Anything but that!
[04:49] <Webu> _Oz_, upgrading from previous release shouldn't be a problem :)
[04:49] <poningru> he is trying to fix his mbr to windows
[04:49] <Guren> Jack_Sparrow, I mean the partition?
[04:49] <CVD-PR> any here has used the libswt3.2-gtk-java?
[04:49] <_Oz_> how do you upgrade, webu?
[04:49] <crimeboy> Jack_Sparrow: pidgin dont show any icons, show only an icon of NOIMG
[04:49] <_Oz_> Is it from within Ubuntu?
[04:49] <Jangari> it'll tell you when 8.04 comes out, _Oz_, and upgrading will b amatter of clicking 'upgrade'
[04:49] <Cpudan80> Jaza: Yeah, sudo apt-get install quicktime I think
[04:49] <Webu> _Oz_, yes, just a few commands, i think you can do it from GUI as well :)
[04:49] <crimeboy> and tray icons dont show too
[04:49] <_Oz_> Nice, jangari
[04:49] <Cpudan80> !quicktime | Jaza
[04:49] <bullgard4> _Oz_: Ubuntu 8.04 will come out in April 2008. You can upgrade from within Ubuntu. It is preferred that you upgrade from Ubuntu 7.10 to 8.04. You do not need to install anew.
[04:49] <ubotu> Jaza: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[04:49] <_Oz_> This is so superior to XP
[04:49] <Webu> _Oz_, or let's say you can do it even easier from GUI.
[04:49] <Jangari> yes, yes it is nice
[04:50] <Cpudan80> bah
[04:50] <Jack_Sparrow> People, play nice, I have been here way too long...  wife just came home.. I MUST go.. sorry
[04:50] <_Oz_> We just need better driver support
[04:50] <Cpudan80> thought it would be more specific
[04:50] <connnky> where do I set the dnsdomainname in ubuntu?
[04:50] <ogre> k guys. i cant get any VM app to run. this includes vmware,virtualbox,and qemu. I know how to make a vm and have done so many times on feisty. anyone know what the problem could be?
[04:50] <Jaza> thanks
[04:50] <_Oz_> Jack
[04:50] <uid000> masequis: okay i think i'm in business
[04:50] <_Oz_> Thanks for the help!  Enjoy your evening
[04:50] <Webu> _Oz_, you could update from a 8.04 disc as well, but as long as you have 7.10 installed with Internet it's easier to do it within same Ubuntu :)
[04:50] <poningru> connnky: system->admin->network and under the dns tab
[04:50] <masequis> uid000: !! what'd you do!!!
[04:50] <rich1> if i have a symbolic link for java libjavaplugin_oji.so can i remove the link libjavaplugin.so?
[04:50] <ogre> actually i get them to run just not power on a VM
[04:50] <kavelot> I'm trying to install build-essential with apt-get, but it tells me to change de ubuntu CD-ROM... isn't it possible to install it via internet?
[04:50] <connnky> poningru, i dont have access to a gui
[04:51] <esoterik> whats the trick to getting flash working in firefox after todays update that broke it
[04:51] <_Oz_> Webu: that's what I really like about 7.10 (although it's the only version I've used).  Everything is so seamless.  Install programs and updates right from the interface.
[04:51] <psycholvlan> can anyone help me?
[04:51] <Skwerl> I'm currently running standard Gutsy. If I were to install the server version, would I lose my users, packages, and other data?  (Sorry for the repost, not sure what the statue of reiteration is..)
[04:51] <jw144000> poningru: I typed in fixmbr at the Recovery Console and it didn't work
[04:51] <_Oz_> I installed it on my wife's old Dell desktop.  Gave it new life.  It easily has the power to run Ubuntu.
[04:51] <poningru> connnky: /etc/resolv.conf
[04:51] <ogre> esoterik:  i just installed it from the site
[04:51] <Webu> _Oz_, that's nice to hear :)
[04:51] <poningru> jw144000: are you using ubuntu live cd right now?
[04:51] <poningru> do this: http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=3340
[04:51] <jw144000> poningru: Yes
[04:51] <iieieie> how do i install libgpod 0.6.0
[04:51] <esoterik> ogre: which, the nonfree flash?
[04:51] <uid000> masequis: although i /do not/ understand what is causing this.  when i did the fresh install, and i looked at lsmod, i saw that i2c_viapro (which is probably specific to my motherboard's chipset) was loaded and depended on nvidia
[04:51] <uid000> like so:
[04:51] <Cursed_6_ds> anyone care to help me on setting up my internet?
[04:52] <psycholvlan> I'm having driver issue.... well mainly desktop effects not wanted to enable.... driver is working... i got my resolution and it detected the monitor
[04:52] <masequis> uid000: wow... what the hell is that..
[04:52] <ogre> esoterik:  there is directions o there. just choose flashplayer for linux
[04:52] <uid000> masequis: no i'm sorry not depening on nvidia, but loaded nonetheless
[04:52] <connnky> poningru, interesting.  is that the only place?  i just have my name server info in there.
[04:52] <poningru> connnky: yes that is the only place
[04:52] <connnky> poningru, i'm hoping it isnt getting the incorrect info from that... sigh
[04:52] <joh6nn> all right, i'm tired
[04:52] <psycholvlan> i had desktop effects working before but now I'm on a different monitor and I can't get it to work
[04:52] <joh6nn> night
[04:52] <connnky> poningru, ok thanks man
[04:52]  * joh6nn waves
[04:52] <poningru> connnky: how do you have it there?
[04:52] <Guren> Jack_Sparrow, figured it out, just needed to change permision in nautilus, thx
[04:52] <Jangari> esoterik: a much more reliable way is to download and install it directly from adobe
[04:53] <jw144000> poningru: So what do I do now?
[04:53] <Webu> Cursed_6_ds, feel free to tell a bit more of your configuration :)
[04:53] <poningru> jw144000: did you see that link I linked to?
[04:53] <poningru> jw144000: http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=3340
[04:53] <poningru> read that
[04:53] <psycholvlan> well anyone know why graphic driver appears to be working but desktop effect fail to enable???
[04:53] <uid000> masequis: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55170/
[04:53] <esoterik> jangari: it was working fine until the update today, just wondering if reinstalling flash fixed it for people
[04:53] <connnky> poningru, my resolve.conf: search xxx.homeip.net nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>, but my dnsdomainname command gives me rentspot.com
[04:54] <uid000> however, i2c_viapro isn't getting loaded automatically now
[04:54] <poningru> psycholvlan: which drivers?
[04:54] <psycholvlan> nvidia...
[04:54] <pyrak> gparted and fdisk can't "open" my sd card
[04:54] <psycholvlan> I used envy to install them...
[04:55] <psycholvlan> only way i can get them working
[04:55] <uid000> masequis: if i unload nvidia with "rmmod nvidia" then depmod -a, the modprobe invidia, the i2c_viapro gets loaded.
[04:55] <psycholvlan> i had it working at home... i brought my computer to my friends and using a different monitor
[04:55] <Jangari> dunno, esoterik, i never have flash problems anymore, i used to get them all the time
[04:55] <uid000> masequis: and all is good
[04:55] <psycholvlan> i'm not sure if the monitor even it is detected or the graphic driver updated it self and the updated one has issues
[04:56] <poningru> pyrak: hmm what does dmesg say?
[04:56] <masequis> uid000: wow.. I would tihnk that would happen when x loads it?
[04:56] <jw144000> poningru: When I tried to install the ms-sys package, it said it couldn't find it
[04:57] <ogre> k guys. i cant get any VM app to play the virtual machine this includes vmware,virtualbox,and qemu. I know how to make a vm and have done so many times on feisty. anyone know what the problem could be?
[04:57] <psycholvlan> also... under nvidia settings... under OpenGL/GLX Information it said Fail to query the GLX server vendor
[04:57] <frazzledpenguin> Hello all, I'm running ubuntu 6.06 and the software i'm trying to install (zimbra) requires that I install "libperl". But when trying to apt-get libperl it tells me that it can't find it. Does anybody know what this is and how I can install it?
[04:57] <masequis> uid000: well, now I bet you feel like a victory gin..
[04:57] <uid000> masequis: well the nvidia km is gettting loaded. however it is supposed to depend on i2c_core, which for some reason, isnt' getting loaded
[04:58] <uid000> masequis: 1984 reference?
[04:58] <masequis> uid000: indeed.
[04:58] <iieieie> how do i install libgpod 0.6.0!?
[04:58] <psycholvlan> so noone know how to fix nvidia-glx issues?
[04:58] <uid000> masequis: chocolate rations have just been increased.
[04:58] <masequis> uid000: You must try harder.  It is not easy to become sane.
[04:58] <Javid> we have always been ar war with Microsoft. we have always been allied with Debian.
[04:58] <bullgard4> What is meant by 'trap' in the following sentence: "This usually causes some sort of system management trap, which makes sure that the memory is put in self-refresh mode and actually sequences the machine into suspend."?
[04:58] <pyrak> poningru, see pm
[04:59] <poningru> jw144000: are you connected to internet?
[04:59] <uid000> masequis: know, understand, AND accept.
[04:59] <jw144000> yeah
[04:59] <sier> hi
[04:59] <poningru> jw144000: do you have mutliverse enabled?
[04:59] <psycholvlan> plus when i type in compiz under the terminal I get this
[04:59] <psycholvlan> Checking for texture_from_pixmap: not present.
[04:59] <psycholvlan> Trying again with indirect rendering:
[04:59] <psycholvlan> Checking for texture_from_pixmap: not present.
[04:59] <psycholvlan> aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity
[04:59] <FloodBot1> psycholvlan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:59] <jw144000> poningru: It's unchecked
[04:59] <jw144000> I don't have it enable
[04:59] <uid000> masequis: still don't know what to do, though.  the i2c_core dependency isn't sticking across reboots
[04:59] <jw144000> I don't have it enabled
[04:59] <poningru> jw144000: enable it
[05:00] <poningru> then install it
[05:00] <masequis> uid000: I have to admit I only know how to fumble around with modules when I have to.. I'm not really sure how all the dependancies get worked out.
[05:00] <bitmonk> i wonder if anyone has ubuntu working on a mac with boot camp and parallels from the same partition.  i am sure using a lot of space and dealing with a lot of awkwardness having a 10G parallels vm and a 10G native partition..
[05:01] <bitmonk> also i have found limited information via google, and wonder if there is any well known documentation on booting from a ZFS volume
[05:01] <jw144000> poningru: It still says it can't find it
[05:02] <bitmonk> from what i can tell, right now, re: parallels + boot camp, the install i performed for boot camp throws a grub prompt asking for the kernel location when i try to boot it in parallels.
[05:02] <jw144000> poningru: it says it can't find the package ms-sys
[05:02] <bitmonk> i sort of wonder if perhaps parallels isn't just seeing that individual partition as a whole drive, maybe i need two boot options in grub for the two environments?
[05:02] <softtower> anyone know how current ThinkPad T61s handle latest Ubuntu?
[05:02] <albertolempira> hey guys is there a way so i don't see KDE's apps on my GNOME menus? thx
[05:02] <poningru> jw144000: uh... my ubuntu found it
[05:02] <softtower> video/suspend/hibernate?
[05:03] <poningru> jw144000: go to synaptic
[05:03] <poningru> what do you see there?
[05:03] <Jangari> you can remove anything from the menus albertolempira, in system > administration > main menu
[05:03] <masequis> uid000: I've been known to be so crude as to add modprobes to init.d scripts. :)
[05:03] <oranye_> hello
[05:03] <bitmonk> albertolempira: you can probably edit the menus by hand, but it's been a long running goal for both KDE and GNOME communities, and for distros like ubuntu, to help people to use the disparate suite of apps offered by both communities and more..
[05:03] <oranye_> iam dana
[05:04] <jw144000> poningru: synaptic? where is that
[05:04] <bitmonk> e.g. not every app in GNOME or KDE necessarily has a corresponding app built on the other tech.
[05:04] <uid000> masequis: yeah, i've done that in rc.local once or twice.  usually /etc/modules gets it though
[05:04] <poningru> jw144000: system->admin->synaptic
[05:04] <bitmonk> and in many cases you'll find good apps which are not built specifically with either stack.
[05:04] <Ticonderoga> Swat is even more confusing then Samba.
[05:04] <albertolempira> Jangari: thanks, iguess it was a dumb question
[05:04] <Jangari> not really,
[05:05] <albertolempira> bitmonk: yea, i think you're right... well, thanks
[05:05] <masequis> Ticonderoga: isn't swat a configurator for samba?
[05:05] <Jangari> unless you wanted to maintain two different sessions, one KDE with KDE apps and one Gnome with Gnome apps, which is a little more difficult to do without creating a separate login,
[05:05] <jw144000> poningru: I don't see ms-sys
[05:05] <softtower> oranye_: hi
[05:05] <Jangari> okay, it's time to drink alcohol, bye
[05:06] <poningru> jw144000: do you have the universe checked?
[05:06] <Ticonderoga> You know what, I found a way to connect to my Windows computer from Ubuntu and I didn't even need Samba. Lol Places > Connect to server... It friggin mounted it and I am granted access.
[05:06] <poningru> and press reload
[05:06] <jw144000> poningru: No, I don't have universe checked
[05:06] <poningru> ...
[05:06] <Tgif> apt-get me -a beer
[05:06] <poningru> thats why
[05:06] <poningru> Tgif: what? pssh get it yourself
[05:06] <ogre> k guys. i cant get any VM app to play the virtual machine this includes vmware,virtualbox,and qemu. I know how to make a vm and have done so many times on feisty. anyone know what the problem could be? heres a screenshot of virtualbox error http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/2985/screenshotdr2.png please please please please please please please please please
[05:08] <L33tCh> hay.. i'm struggling to get videos to play. totem player says it can't handle divx and mplayer had some screen saver problem but played the video without sound... then after i installed mpeg libraries it wouldnt play any more... any ideas?
[05:08] <jw144000> poningru: For whatever reason, the instructions on this page said to uncheck universe
[05:08] <ogre> L33tCh:  use vlc
[05:09] <poningru> jw144000: what? what page?
[05:09] <L33tCh> ok... will a simple, apt-get install vlc give me all i need?
[05:09] <jw144000> poningru: The link you gave me, but it's installing it now, n/m
[05:09] <ogre> L33tCh:  yes
[05:09] <CVD-PR> hey after instaling eclipse-java eclipse its not in the menu
[05:09] <CVD-PR> any help
[05:09] <L33tCh> thank you :)
[05:09] <poningru> jw144000: no checking it off means actually checking it
[05:09] <poningru> enable the universe!!
[05:09] <ogre> no prob
[05:09] <poningru> grr
[05:10] <bitmonk> albertolempira: my experience with free desktops is that you can always edit some text or xml file by hand.  it's been a while since i've used one primarily but i'm sure that's largely true.
[05:10] <bitmonk> and there are probably gui editors.  pretty sure gnome has a menu editor for years now.
[05:10] <psycholvlan> does anyone know how to fix nvidia-glx issues?
[05:11] <ogre> k guys. i cant get any VM app to play the virtual machine this includes vmware,virtualbox,and qemu. I know how to make a vm and have done so many times on feisty. anyone know what the problem could be? heres a screenshot of virtualbox error http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/2985/screenshotdr2.png please please please please please please please please please

[05:11] <masequis> L33tCh: I prefer mplayer.
[05:12] <jw144000> poningru: When I type in the command to fix the mbr, should I type in -m to write the Windows XP MBR?
[05:12] <psycholvlan> ok i guess noone knows... just hope it works when i get home
[05:12] <Roy> This is something strange. I uninstalled a specific program from wine but the menu entry for the program is not removed. It's still there.
[05:13] <poningru> jw144000: do exactly what that page says
[05:13] <papuccino1> Hello. Need help making SFV files from multiple parted rar files.
[05:13] <ubuntulover> Hello, colleagues!!!
[05:13] <ubuntulover> Tell me please, how to lock "Name" column in Nautilus in some width, that it would be not resizable by itself?
[05:13] <papuccino1> Someone pm me please
[05:13] <poningru> jw144000: sudo ms-sys –mbr /dev/sda
[05:14] <KiD_ChAoS> im scared
[05:14] <badkitty> Lame question I know, but how do I get rid of that annoying background image in the window decorations?
[05:14] <sier> poningru,  thanks :) I was looking for that a couple minutes ago.
[05:14] <Roy> Can someone tell me who to remove the menu entry for a program that has already been uninstalled in wine?
[05:14] <papuccino1> Roy
[05:14] <papuccino1> Rightclick > Aplications >Edit Menus
[05:14] <KiD_ChAoS> sudo iwconfig eth1 ap MAC doesn't switch me to a different AP like it should, why not
[05:15] <papuccino1> That's how you choose which to keep and which to delete.
[05:15] <poningru> sier: err what?
[05:15] <Roy> Thank you papuccino1 :)
[05:15] <papuccino1> No prob.
[05:15] <papuccino1> Still need help making SFV files, Can anyone help me out?
[05:15] <sier> poningru,  the mbr thing..
[05:15] <poningru> sier: oh cool
[05:16] <jw144000> poningru: My windows partition is on sda2
[05:16] <KiD_ChAoS> what can Suse do that ubuntu can't?
[05:16] <Roy> papuccino1: That way I can hide a menu entry which has been uninstalled but how can I delete them?
[05:16] <ubuntulover> Can't figure out how to lock "Name" column in Nautilus in some width, that it would be not resizable by itself?
[05:16] <mikedoty> Hey, where does ubuntu put images after I import them from my camera dudes?
[05:16] <softtower> mikedoty, somewhere in you home folder
[05:16] <poningru> jw144000: no just do sda
[05:16] <poningru> not partition
[05:16] <Oxygenetik> SOMEWHERE YOU BELONG!!
[05:16] <Dezine> Can anyone suggest software to blog with? What I mean is, like Windows Live Writer for Windows.. what are my options?
[05:17] <mikedoty> Hm, ok.  It must not have imported them for some reason.  thanks =)
[05:17] <masequis> mikedoty: most likely in your user home Pictures dir.
[05:17] <ubuntulover> Dezine: Maybe it's Flock browser?
[05:18] <Dezine> Hm, I could use that.
[05:18] <jw144000> poningru: I just did it and it wouldn't do anything but give me a list of commands
[05:18] <Dezine> But in that case I think blogging right into wordpress would be the same.
[05:18] <papuccino1> Roy, rightclick the item you want to delete, and click delete xD
[05:18] <Dezine> Can you blog with OpenOffice?
[05:18] <Roy> Oh! Thanks papuccino1 :)
[05:18] <softtower> Dezine: you can blog with anything. Blogging is just typing text.
[05:19] <Dezine> Well.. I want to be able to post from the software.
[05:19] <_Oz_> Is there any way to get actual M$ Word and Excel icons for Office 2003 progs running in Crossover?  Dumb, I know, but the wife would appreciate the familiarity.
[05:19] <uid000> got a kernel module question for the general audience: i'm having a problem where the nvidia proprietary kernel module isn't being loaded in the right order, and it breaks X.  if, after boot, i rmmod nvidia && modprobe nvidia, then everything is fine.  any suggestions on what's going on here, or how to troubleshoot?
[05:19] <poningru> jw144000: yeah use -m
[05:19] <softtower> well... copy&paste takes just seconds, right?
[05:19] <poningru> I dont think you did a double --
[05:19] <papuccino1> Oz, search for the icon pack "microsoft office"
[05:19] <Dezine> I guess I'll Google, thanks!
[05:19] <papuccino1> You can then just change the icon of the program in Ubuntu.
[05:19] <shrapnel> any obvious reason why wireless would work with WPA but not on unencrypted wifi?
[05:20] <drpcken> softtower, www.creedthoughts.gov.www\creedthoughts    LMAO
[05:20] <DG19075> Dezine: i see 2 apps when opening Synaptic and entering Blogging as a search term: Drivel and BloGTK
[05:20] <jw144000> poningru: so it would be sudo ms-sys -mbr /dev/sda -m
[05:20] <poningru> sigh
[05:21] <poningru> jw144000: sudo ms-sys -m /dev/sda
[05:21] <tanner> is anyone running hdhomerun over wifi?

[05:22] <badkitty> I have a really ugly image showing beneath my window decorations, any idea how to get rid of it?
[05:22] <_Oz_> where should I save the icon pack to?  (for M$ office)
[05:22] <Starnestommy> KiD_ChAoS: nothing
[05:22] <_Oz_> I'm not clear on how to reassign the icons, or where to store the icon pack.
[05:22] <CVD-PR> ?
[05:22] <bazhang> dezine you can also install a firefox plugin that allows you to blog from the lower half of the browser window, blogfire is the name iirc

[05:26] <_Oz_> it's the standard generic crossover icon for MS Word and I want to replace it with the icon I saved in /user/shared/icons
[05:26] <papuccino1> exactly what I was going to say Ogre.
[05:26] <KiD_ChAoS> what distro do you use bazhang ?
[05:26] <bazhang> ogre: any reason not to get gutsy? vmware works well there--of course you need enough ram and cpu cycles to make it work well
[05:26] <papuccino1> Use root access.
[05:26] <uid000> hi all, to rephrase the last question.  if i rmmod nvidia, before staring gdm everything is good.  otherwise X won't start.  what gives?
[05:27] <singlesun> ive been using ubuntu for some time... can someone tell me more about xubuntu without me having to read all the crazy stuff... (i know its a scaled down version that uses xfce instead of gnome) but hwo different is it besides that?
[05:27] <mouseboyx> It should do this by default, but just, in the launcher put gksu in front.
[05:27] <Starnestommy> ogre: I think you need to install vboxdrv
[05:27] <Administrator> ogra, running mac with virtual is not ok
[05:27] <ogre> bazhang:  I am using gutsy
[05:27] <bazhang> KiD_ChAoS: kubuntu, pclinuxos, mandriva, (now) wolvix, dreamlinux, mint, ms-suse, fedora (past)
[05:28] <karlNY> How much manual configuration is needed to set-up "tutos2" ?
[05:28] <friedtofu> singlesun - i believe not only does xubuntu uses xfce, it also uses more lightweight applications... but i cant be too sure
[05:28] <bazhang> ogre: in your question you said 'on feisty'...
[05:28] <masequis> uid000: you rmmod then modprobe right?
[05:28] <dn4_> how do I kill a terminal?
[05:28] <ogre> bazhang:  yeah i was saying it worked in feisty
[05:28] <masequis> uid000: remove then reload?
[05:28] <singlesun> friedtofu, in regards to command line and everything else it still uses the same commands generally correct... its not some sick convoluted thing right?
[05:28] <dn4_> or how do I view all terminalsr unning?
[05:28] <BetaTest> bazhang: I already have it installed, but it doesn't do anything
[05:28] <jw144000> poningru: I'm back in Windows now.
[05:28] <dn4_> like psaux or something?
[05:29] <Starnestommy> dn4_: w or who
[05:29] <Ticonderoga> dn4_, try stabbing it with knife?
[05:29] <uid000> masequis: rmmod then modprobe works, but i discovered that i don't even have to modprobe.  what I start X the nvidia modules gets inserted again automatically
[05:29] <bazhang> ogre: sudo apt-get install vmware-server
[05:29] <poningru> jw144000: awesome....
[05:29] <ogre> Starnestommy:  its not in the repos
[05:29]  * poningru is going to sleep now
[05:29] <masequis> uid000: ah.
[05:29] <bazhang> BetaTest: what card (graphics) and what driver
[05:29] <papuccino1> Need help creating an SFV with cksfv. Anyone out there?
[05:29] <dn4_> basically I use a terminal
[05:29] <ogre> bazhang:  vmware-server isnt working either
[05:29] <dn4_> and it is fuct to all hell
[05:29] <jw144000> poningru: Ahh....I kinda wished we could have gotten this situation with grub on my HDD figured out
[05:29] <dn4_> so I gotta kill the terminal but I do not know what the terminal is called
[05:29] <_Oz_> how do I actually change the icon?
[05:29] <papuccino1> Also, is there a SFV maker with a GUI instead of terminal only code?
[05:29] <_Oz_> it's the standard generic crossover icon for MS Word and I want to replace it with the icon I saved in /user/shared/icons
[05:29] <jw144000> so I could boot Ubuntu on the external HDD
[05:29] <Starnestommy> ogre: er, try virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.22-14-generic
[05:30] <karlNY> dn4_: GUI terminal?
[05:30] <dn4_> so I Cannot do killall -9 terminal
[05:30] <dn4_> yes karlNY
[05:30] <BetaTest> bazhang nVidia, and it worked just fine up until I wanted to get the cube working, so I installed Compiz-Fusion
[05:30] <bazhang> ogre: you need to enable the canonical gutsy partner repos and install from there--also doesnt work is not very descriptive if you really want help
[05:30] <BetaTest> After installing it, it doesn't do anything
[05:30] <papuccino1> Oz, right click program link, and select properties.
[05:30] <SJr|Nbook> HOLY EFF
[05:30] <jw144000> poningru: But thanks for your help
[05:30] <bazhang> BetaTest: this is gutsy?
[05:30] <papuccino1> The option for it is there Oz.
[05:30] <mouseboyx> Or get the deb from the virtualbox website
[05:30] <SJr|Nbook> I have to pay $185 dollars to renew a domain
[05:30] <dn4_> what is the command to see all the applications running?
[05:30] <red__> hello
[05:30] <karlNY> dn4_: try CTRL+ALT+ESC and the mouse might turn into an xkill cursor
[05:30] <Starnestommy> dn4_: ps aux
[05:30] <Ticonderoga> nVidia have a history of not being very friendly with Compiz...
[05:30] <ogre> Starnestommy:  I have that already but it says i need vboxdrv
[05:30] <softtower> red__: hi
[05:30] <singlesun> SJr|Nbook, will i be finding a dead link ... lol
[05:31] <karlNY> dn4_: ps -ef or ps auwx
[05:31] <Starnestommy> ogre: sudo modprobe vboxdrv
[05:31] <Ticonderoga> dead links for the win.
[05:31] <BetaTest> bazhang it is
[05:31] <papuccino1> dn4, press alt+f2 system monitor
[05:31] <Administrator> ogre, i said running mac with vm is not ok
[05:31] <bazhang> BetaTest: you have the nvidia or the nv driver?
[05:31] <Starnestommy> Administrator: why?
[05:31] <BetaTest> Both, I believe
[05:32] <_Oz_> papucinno: I see it but I only see a bunch of generic icons, no option to apply icons I downloaded
[05:32] <Administrator> maybe coz bios things like that, it refuse to boot
[05:32] <dn4_> now that really messed things up
[05:32] <bazhang> BetaTest: then hit alt-f2, both drivers? that would not work
[05:32] <dn4_> be back alter
[05:32] <mouseboyx> Yes, mac probably doesn't support vm drivers.
[05:32] <mouseboyx> i mean devices
[05:32] <BetaTest> Oh, sorry I misunderstood
[05:32] <BetaTest> I'm not sure which one of the two drivers I have
[05:33] <overclucker> is there a collection of 'portable' applications that can be run off a usbdrive on any ubuntu system?
[05:33] <ogre> Starnestommy:  FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found.
[05:33] <singlesun> i need some way to completely erase the data off this drive... i mean... completely clean... not just formatted
[05:33] <bazhang> BetaTest: you need the nvidia drivers--which card--please be more precise than 'nvidia', e.g., 6800, 7300, 8800, etc
[05:34] <BetaTest> bazhang 6150
[05:34] <singlesun> any thoughts on free free drive cleaning apps that do a Good Job?
[05:34] <SJr|Nbook> singlesun hmmmm no
[05:34] <mouseboyx> singlesun, http://mirror.href.com/thestarman/asm/mbr/WIPE.html
[05:34] <clinton> singlesun: hammers ensure your drives get clean and stay that way
[05:34] <SJr|Nbook> my domain registration expried and now they want 185 bucks to renew it.
[05:34] <SJr|Nbook> Or else they will.
[05:34] <jakd> join #offtopic
[05:34] <jw144000> Can anyone help me get grub installed on my external HDD so I can run Ubuntu from it?
[05:34] <Administrator> singlesun, then you need to use some program to fill your drive with 000
[05:34] <Aquahallic> evenin' folks... when doing apt-get install it's going and looking at my cdrom wanting the original disk for some reason..... can I make it not look for cd and just d'load the package??
[05:34] <singlesun> clinton, i suppose so would a very large electro magnet... lol
[05:34] <clinton> singlesun: hammers are much easier to come by
[05:35] <singlesun> clinton, i will keep that in mind, next time I dont want my computer :P
[05:35] <bazhang> Aquahallic: disable that as a install source in synaptic
[05:35] <Aquahallic> ahh.... thank you
[05:35] <tcpdumpgod> yeah Aquahallic that'd be the thing to do
[05:35] <tcpdumpgod> :)
[05:35] <bazhang> np
[05:35] <mouseboyx> singlesun, open the hd and break/bend the disk.
[05:35] <singlesun> mouseboyx, thanks for that ;)
[05:36] <clinton> singlesun: It usually goes like this for me: "family member: Clinton!  my computer is slow/broken/wierd, can you look at it for me?"  Me: "Sure!  let me get my hammer"  Family:"Oh, um, that's OK it isn't that bad"
[05:36] <Administrator> !su
[05:36] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.
[05:36] <singlesun> clinton, and i see that even still ubuntu manages to run for you on a hammer beaten machine.. lol
[05:36] <singlesun> brb... one sec.. wife
[05:36] <jw144000> Can anyone show me how to install grub on my external hard drive so I can boot Ubuntu off of it?
[05:36] <clinton> singlesun: actually ubuntu gave up, I'm running gentoo
[05:36] <bazhang> clinton: your family call you by your irc nick? ;]
[05:36] <ogre> vmware isnt giving me any output to work with
[05:37] <clinton> bazhang: my irc nick *is* my name

[05:37] <bazhang> aha
[05:37] <badkitty> jw144000: Hey dude
[05:37] <frazzledpenguin> Hello all, I'm running ubuntu 6.06 and the software i'm trying to install (zimbra) requires that I install "libperl". But when trying to apt-get libperl it tells me that it can't find it. Does anybody know what this is and how I can install it?
[05:37] <jw144000> badkitty: Hey, how's it going?
[05:37] <bazhang> mouseboyx: not a good suggestion--that could lead to a /kickban
[05:37] <clinton> bazhang: you think I would call myself clinton as a nickname? :P
[05:37] <badkitty> jw144000: Had to go to sleep the other day got everything working?
[05:37] <oboy03> i just saw beryl on youtube, and it was cool
[05:38] <badkitty> oboy03: compiz-fusion is the new beryl
[05:38] <Aquahallic> thx folks... worked like a champ...:)
[05:38] <oboy03> any comments on it? how do i use it?
[05:38] <jw144000> badkitty: Well, I'm trying a different approach: I'm trying to boot Gutsy Gibbon off of a 80GB external hard drive.
[05:38] <ubuntulover> Tell me please, how to lock "Name" column in Nautilus in some width, that it would be not resizable by itself?
[05:38] <bazhang> install ccsm oboy03
[05:38] <Ademan> i've never had to screw around with ndiswrapper before, but now i have to, is it a problem using ndiswrapper in 64 bit ubuntu?
[05:38] <ogre> anybody know why no VM app will power on for me? tried as root. no luck
[05:38] <badkitty> jw144000: how come?
[05:38] <bazhang> !ccsm | oboy03
[05:38] <ubotu> oboy03: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion
[05:38] <oboy03> hey bazhaang how are u doin?
[05:38] <kavelot> does ubuntu has some kind of rc.shutdown ?
[05:38] <jw144000> badkitty: I went through too much trouble with trying to get it installed on the external HD. I did get that partition magic program, though
[05:39] <mouseboyx> well.
[05:39] <BetaTest> So bazhang, any help?
[05:39] <bazhang> ogre: wont work is not very descriptive--what cpu and how much ram
[05:39] <mouseboyx> kavelot, you could get ssh and run sudo shutdown now on the machine
[05:39] <kavelot> no, sorry
[05:39] <kavelot> I mean a script that will be executed when shutdown
[05:39] <badkitty> jw144000: Did you aprtition your hard drive??
[05:39] <badkitty> jw144000: PM me
[05:39] <mouseboyx> I thought that mean Remote control...
[05:40] <clinton> kavelot: write a /etc/init.d/ script
[05:40] <ogre> bazhang:  intel duo core 1.6 with 1.5Gb ram
[05:40] <bazhang> BetaTest: not sure of the exact driver for that card: nvidia latest or older--the proprietary restricted drivers manager should help with that
[05:40] <uid000> i'm troubleshooting the binary nvidia driver and wonder if anyone could help.
[05:40] <masequis> uid000: I finally remembered what that file was..   /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/modules.dep
[05:40] <uid000> X won't start unless I rmmod and modprobe the nvidia driver first
[05:40] <bazhang> ogre: how much ram are you allocating to the distro and what distro are you trying to run in vm?
[05:40] <clinton> uid000: I have that problem on my machine at work.
[05:40] <uid000> masequis: yeah i checked that. everything looks kosher there
[05:40] <masequis> uid000: /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/volatile/nvidia.ko: /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/i2c/i2c-core.ko
[05:40] <uid000> clinton: any suggestions?
[05:40] <shiftless> hi guys, can someone help me, i have been pulling my hair out for days trying to figure this out.. i am on ubuntu 7.10 and i want to configure my text consoles to have the default VGA font with the codepage 437 mapping
[05:41] <clinton> uid000: In fact, I added the rmmod and modprobe lines to /etc/init.d/gdm start
[05:41] <mkquist> clinton: sidenote - funny earlier, hammer.... =p
[05:41] <clinton> uid000: it's a bit hackish, but it *just works*
[05:41] <joecurlee> hi everyone, i am running ubuntu 7.10... installed dvd codecs via automatix... dvds play fine but no audio. I'm using an asus m2a-vm hdmi mother board with integrated ati graphics card
[05:41] <ogre> bazhang:  vmware-server doesnt give me any useful output to tell you. i can take a screenshot if that would help. ive tried xp and leopard with 512 for xp and 1gb for leopard
[05:41] <uid000> clinton: hmm. . that thought crossed my mind.  seems like there's a better way though ;-)
[05:41] <clinton> mkquist: :)
[05:41] <masequis> uid000: see!! edit init scripts!! :)
[05:41] <joecurlee> any solutions would be very much appreciated :)
[05:41] <_Oz_> Thanks to all for the help.  Much appreciated.
[05:41] <_Oz_> Good night!
[05:41] <bazhang> ogre: mac os x is not supported here and is not legal
[05:42] <_Oz_> (By the way, got the emblems installed.  Much better.)_
[05:42] <Jaza> Is there a way to install flash player 9 using RPMs or tar files?
[05:42] <clinton> joecurlee: you shoudln't have used automatix
[05:42] <badkitty> joecurlee: Suggestion: Dont use automatix
[05:42] <ogre> okokok. well what about xp?
[05:42] <mkquist> joecurlee: are we to assume that ur sound is good other than that?
[05:42] <joecurlee> badkitty: really? why not?
[05:42] <ogre> bazhang: okokok. well what about xp?
[05:42] <badkitty> !automatix | joecurlee
[05:42] <ubotu> joecurlee: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe »
[05:42] <bazhang> joecurlee: may as well reinstall; your system is borked
[05:42] <mkquist> Jaza: yes
[05:42] <shrapnel> any obvious reason why wireless would work with WPA but not on unencrypted wifi?
[05:42] <joecurlee> mkquist: yes sound worked fine-ish in test mode
[05:42] <Starnestommy> joecurlee: it's been known to cause all sorts of problems
[05:42] <mouseboyx> joecurlee, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[05:42] <badkitty> joecurlee: It breaks systems
[05:43] <joecurlee> oh crap
[05:43] <badkitty> especially mine a couple times :-(
[05:43] <joecurlee> that's not cool
[05:43] <karlNY> How much manual configuration is needed to set-up "tutos2" ?
[05:43] <Jaza> can you explain how or give me a link where I can find that info?
[05:43] <joecurlee> ok so how to undo everything and do this the right way?
[05:43] <mkquist> Jaza: d/l the tar, extract and run installer in terminal. ur can just run it as user, works fine if ur the only one using machine
[05:43] <clinton> joecurlee: re-install and come back to learn the right way :)
[05:43] <bazhang> joecurlee: reinstall
[05:43] <joecurlee> i'm so very close to getting media server complete after several days of work :)
[05:43] <mouseboyx> joecurlee, follow the guide on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[05:43] <clinton> joecurlee: your media server will never function properly now
[05:44] <Jaza> ok thanks
[05:44] <ogre> bazhang: okokok. well what about xp?
[05:44] <joecurlee> even if i uninstall all installed packages via the automatix uninstaller?
[05:44] <kavelot> reboot+shutdown is runlevel 0 or 6?
[05:44] <clinton> joecurlee: there is no guarantee it correctly uninstalls since it circumvents the package mangaement system
[05:44] <Starnestommy> kavelot: reboot is 6, halt/shutdown is 0
[05:44] <bazhang> ogre not sure-- perhaps others here know--never touch ##windows myself ;]
[05:44] <badkitty> joecurlee: It's possible that you have a decent setup, but I would lose automatix as fast as you can before it screws up your system
[05:44] <joecurlee> wow that's total crap. wish i would have known that before installing
[05:44] <kavelot> but reboot includes "shutdown" or not?
[05:45] <elkbuntu> joecurlee, every time you use the automatix application it can damage your system.
[05:45] <clinton> bazhang: I joined windows once to get a question on pricing, and I was told to install Linux!  ah the irony
[05:45] <joecurlee> ok
[05:45] <badkitty> joecurlee: Automatix had the pleasure of upgrading my distro to something that didn
[05:45] <badkitty> exist
[05:45] <kavelot> i mean, when I reboots, all scripts runlevel 0 are called?
[05:45] <BetaTest> 22:04:27] <bazhang> I can't find the  proprietary restricted drivers manager, can you help?
[05:45] <clinton> kavelot: reboot is a shutdown/startup, so yes, it includes shutdown
[05:45] <joecurlee> so recommended course of action: completely reformat my drive with ubuntu and follow directions with mediabuntu?
[05:45] <kavelot> ok, thanks
[05:45] <clinton> joecurlee: yes
[05:45] <bazhang> there was someone in here yesterday who was running feisty that had four different iterations of ubuntu as source--all thanks to automatix
[05:45] <joecurlee> k thanks. will do :(
[05:45] <hyde> co za.....
[05:45] <ogre> bazhang:  ok what if it were a linux distro then? ok just for fixing it sake i will install a ubuntu vm on top of ubuntu. then what is it?
[05:45] <badkitty> joecurlee: unfortunatly
[05:45] <clinton> joecurlee: this time you will get it right tho :)
