[12:01] <basbryan> Intangir: same error....
[12:01] <Intangir> hrm.. wtf
[12:01] <Intangir> try just .. apt-get install gnome-terminal?
[12:01] <Flamekebab> I don't suppose it's possible to use XGL and Compiz with XFCE is it?
[12:01] <basbryan> Intangir: hold on
[12:01] <gnomefreak> Jack_Sparrow: kubuntu  works fine in dapper and edgy atm
[12:01] <Jack_Sparrow> gnomefreak: I have had nothing but problems with Kubuntu and noting but praise of Ubuntu
[12:01] <Intangir> oh wait.. well
[12:01] <basbryan> Intangir: aptitude gave better output i miised it
[12:01] <Intangir> you could try apt-get update first
[12:01] <verix> AZzKikR: what flag tells this file that ath0/eth0/1/2 or whatever is the default gateway? I don't see any indications...
[12:01] <synic> verix: route add defaul gw <address> dev ath0
[12:01] <gnomefreak> Intangir: why downgrading terminal?
[12:01] <Intangir> the repo was down for me earlier though
[12:01] <verix> synic: ah okay
[12:02] <Dravas> I wanna make it so that Clicking a background window focuses it to the front without having to click on the title of the window
[12:02] <basbryan> Intangir: gnome-terminal-data needs to be downgraded to downgrade gnome-terminal
[12:02] <Intangir> gnomefreak: hes got issues with one of the newer versions possibly
[12:02] <happy-and-lost> Wireless anyone? Intell 2200GB. It's got a driver, it's enabled, it's connected... but it's only recieving empty packets. Why?!
[12:02] <verix> is <address> an IP or MacAddr?
[12:02] <Jack_Sparrow> gnomefreak: And I have never really liked Gnome.. but it works...
[12:02] <synic> an ip
[12:02] <gnomefreak> basbryan: alot more than just that
[12:02] <MotorCityMadMan1> how can i convert a wab file format to a csv, tab or LDIF ?
[12:02] <verix> k
[12:02] <basbryan> Intangir: i updated 30 min ago
[12:02] <jason__> I have a pretty simple question.  What is the equivalent of the Windows "run" program in Ubuntu?  I've been looking it up but have been unsuccessful
[12:02] <jvai> reset your router
[12:02] <basbryan> jason__: alt-f2
[12:02] <verix> jason__: Applications > Accessories > Terminal
[12:02] <AZzKikR> what kind of interface is an ath0 interface?
[12:02] <gnomefreak> Intangir: basbryan if im not mistaken you need to downgrade a crap load of packages
[12:02] <verix> wireless
[12:03] <Jack_Sparrow> jason__: What are you trying to run?
[12:03] <AZzKikR> i've only seen ra0 and eth0 kinds
[12:03] <verix> ath0 = atheros based wireless
[12:03] <AZzKikR> ah
[12:03] <Flamekebab> I don't suppose it's possible to use XGL and Compiz with XFCE is it?
[12:03] <ubuntu> hi
[12:03] <Intangir> gnomefreak: that aptitude takes care of downgrading dependancies also, thats why i told him use aptitude
[12:03] <lupine> wmaster0 is fun :)
[12:03] <Intangir> apt-get just complains
[12:03] <Intangir> but for me even the very newest versions from quinn work fine
[12:03] <JoseStefan> Flamekebab, ask in #unbuntu-xgl
[12:03] <Intangir> now.. i think they got rid of some
[12:03] <gnomefreak> Intangir: sometimes but this case it should
[12:04] <JoseStefan> oops #ubuntu-xgl
[12:04] <jvai> my hoary backports r broke .... but all's good tho
[12:04] <Flamekebab> I just thought it might be an easy "yes or no" question
[12:04] <Intangir> Flamekebab: probably
[12:04] <AZzKikR> JoseStefan: i always type unbuntu by accident too :P
[12:04] <Intangir> Flamekebab: i bet you can
[12:04] <jhutchins_lt> Is there a way to enable a serial mouse with the live CD?
[12:04] <AndyCooll> Laptop wireless help needed
[12:04] <sean> can anyone help me on why my downloads stop downloading?
[12:04] <JoseStefan> Flamekebab, i really dont know, you might even have to go as far as getting 3rd party compiz+xgl repositories
[12:05] <sean> http://<IP_ADDRESS>:23456/images/DownloadStopping.png is the screenshot
[12:05] <AndyCooll> I have a Toshiba Satellite with Belkin PCMCIA wireless notebook card
[12:05] <sean> if anyone wants to help
[12:05] <JoseStefan> AZzKikR, do not disassemble Johnny Five
[12:05] <ubuntu> jhutchins_lt:  mouse wont work?
[12:05] <ubuntu> keep the cat out :D
[12:05] <AndyCooll> When I try to login it just hangs
[12:05] <Intangir> AndyCooll: log in where?
[12:05] <HNT> hello everybody, i try to install the nvidia driver but i'v got a problem at the start of Xorg, he said me that the nvidia kernel module have a different number that the nvidia binary (nvidia-glx & nvidia-kernel-common) howto fix it ?
[12:06] <MotorCityMadMan1> how can i convert a wab file format to a csv, tab or LDIF ?
[12:06] <JoseStefan> AZzKikR, ...unbuntu is not good :|
[12:06] <ubuntu> MotorCityMadMan1:  wab is windows address book
[12:06] <AndyCooll> On first login, just putting in my name and password
[12:06] <flyingcircus97> what's up with Xorg?
[12:07] <AndyCooll> Accepts the password but doesn't get as far as the desktop
[12:07] <Intangir> HNT: sec..
[12:07] <JoseStefan> flyingcircus97, specifically ?
[12:07] <ubuntu> AndyCooll: can u login in console?
[12:07] <sean> okay
[12:07] <flyingcircus97> After an update last night, Xorg is broken, X server failed to start.
[12:07] <sean> nevermind guys
[12:07] <sean> it just timed out
[12:07] <MotorCityMadMan1> ubuntu: yes true. how can i convet that file ?
[12:07] <Jack_Sparrow> MotorCityMadMan1: what created the wab ?
[12:07] <AndyCooll> ubuntu: yes
[12:07] <JoseStefan> flyingcircus97, you'll need to do another update, thru the CLI
[12:07] <Intangir> HNT: you need to get nvidia-glx, and the linux-restricted-modules package that matched your kernel
[12:08] <MotorCityMadMan1> outlook
[12:08] <JoseStefan> flyingcircus97, try: sudo apt-get update && sudo-apt-get upgrade
[12:08] <Jack_Sparrow> MotorCityMadMan1: OUtlook should export a csv file
[12:08] <flyingcircus97> Thanks. So they fixed it already.
[12:08] <AZzKikR> well, no way im gonna update at the moment :D
[12:08] <javaJake> Hello guys
[12:08] <ali4728> Help needed...!  I am trying to copy files from mounted wondows partition to my linux partition "cp"  because file and folder names have space in "W" I get error any suggestions?
[12:08] <fluvvell> MotorCityMadMan1: mozilla thunderbird may be able to import a .wab file
[12:09] <javaJake> ali4728, what?
[12:09] <MotorCityMadMan1> yes thank you. i was trying to convert the file with out leaveing linux
[12:09] <JoseStefan> ali4728, try using cp with quotes
[12:09] <jake1> yay download is done
[12:09] <javaJake> Or, put a \ before spaces
[12:09] <AZzKikR> ali4728: to copy files or folders, you'd have to prepend the space with a \
[12:09] <javaJake> I have my own problem
[12:09] <ali4728> JoseStefan: thanx thats clever
[12:09] <AndyCooll> ubuntu: though if I try "sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces" for instance that hangs the console too
[12:09] <javaJake> A seemingly random kernel crash
[12:10] <javaJake> With direct rendering enabled
[12:10] <jhutchins_lt> I'm using kubuntu to copy an old disk to a new one using tar, and for some reason it kept spinning up the CD, so I ejected it.
[12:10] <javaJake> Nothing in the logs
[12:10] <happy-and-lost> My router is working fine (connected now) my wifi card has a driver and is enabled, it's connected with 95% signal strength... but it's recieving empty packets. Why?
[12:10] <Intangir> AndyCooll: are you using NIS?
[12:10] <javaJake> But the card is an ATI Mobility Radeon M6 LY
[12:10] <HNT> Intangir : yes but the problem is that nvidia-glx require linux-restricted-modules for a <IP_ADDRESS> kernel and i'm running with a <IP_ADDRESS> (default) so ... ?
[12:10] <javaJake> With OPENGL! YEA!
[12:10] <jhutchins_lt> Then I tried to edit xorg.conf (to enable my mouse) and POOF - locked the system.
[12:10] <MotorCityMadMan1> fluvvell: thunderbird will not import a wab file
[12:10] <Intangir> HNT: upgrade your kernel? hehe
[12:10] <AndyCooll> Intangir: NIS?
[12:10] <jhutchins_lt> Speaking of logs, where do they live on kubuntu?  I'm used to /var/log/messages
[12:10] <JoseStefan> HNT, you might need to update your kernel
[12:10] <lupine> happy-and-lost: dodgy driver or firmware?
[12:10] <edulix> hi!
[12:10] <jvai> @happy- sumtymes it's concast or verizon... u may have to reset your router
[12:10] <javaJake> VAR/LOG
[12:11] <edulix> hey where can I find a xgl live cd?
[12:11] <ubuntu> MotorCityMadMan1:  do u have kmail?
[12:11] <javaJake> JoseStefan, are you talking to me?
[12:11] <happy-and-lost> It's a fresh install
[12:11] <HNT> k thanks
[12:11] <cafuego> HNT: The latest (fixed) kernel is 2.6.15-26
[12:11] <happy-and-lost> Haven't touched it. Intel 2200BG
[12:11] <MotorCityMadMan1> ubuntu: looking
[12:11] <fluvvell> MotorCityMadMan1: sry, it may have been within windows i did that.  You can import into tb from outlook in the windows version.
[12:11] <JoseStefan> javaJake, nope
[12:11] <javaJake> OK
[12:11] <javaJake> :P
[12:11] <JoseStefan> javaJake, now i am
[12:11] <javaJake> Haha
[12:11] <flyingcircus97> Thanks for the advice, Jose, Xorg is up.
[12:11] <javaJake> Can ya help?
[12:11] <JoseStefan> flyingcircus97, ok np
[12:12] <beloc> hello
[12:12] <beloc> il y a des frenchy
[12:12] <fluvvell> MotorCityMadMan1: any idea of the structure of the .wab file? I don't have one to look at for now. Many things can be converted, its just a matter of by what method.
[12:12] <Dravas> I wanna make it so that Clicking a background window focuses it to the front without having to click on the title of the window how do I do that
[12:12] <javaJake> ATI Mobility Radeon M6 LY + Direct Rendering enabled = kernel hard crash = HEEEEELP!
[12:12] <JoseStefan> javaJake, dont know :(
[12:12] <Intangir> javaJake: upgrade your driver? or get an nvidia ;)
[12:12] <Intangir> oh its in a laptop isn it..
[12:12] <ali4728> AZzKikR  is it like this?  "this is win file"    "this\ is \ win \file"
[12:12] <javaJake> Intangir, latest kernel (2.16.XX-26-306)
[12:13] <javaJake> Intangir, yes
[12:13] <rnd_null> i just installed ubuntu 6.06 on an Averatec 2200 and am having trouble with the wireless card, anyone able to lend a hand?
[12:13] <AZzKikR> ali4728: yeah
[12:13] <javaJake> rnd_null
[12:13] <MotorCityMadMan1> fluvvell: structure ? how do i know ?
[12:13] <javaJake> Yes
[12:13] <Intangir> update your video drivers too though
[12:13] <ali4728> AZzKikR: thnx
[12:13] <javaJake> Intangir, how?
[12:13] <Intangir> for ati? i have no idea
[12:13] <javaJake> Intangir, I have all updates - xorg (ugh) installed
[12:13] <Intangir> i couldnt figure out how to install proper ATI drivers on this crapp card i got, im using vesa
[12:13] <javaJake> It's the radeon driver that comes with the kernel
[12:13] <Intangir> the video driver, on newer cards comes from ATI somehow
[12:14] <Intangir> older ones have an open source driver you can use
[12:14] <AZzKikR> ali4728: another example:  cp -R /media/windows/Program\ Files ~/myProgramFiles/
[12:14] <javaJake> Well, proprietary ones don't work - they only work on the newer ones
[12:14] <jake1> is there a particular reason why when i am installing Ubuntu from boot CD does only a portion of my screen show up
[12:14] <JoseStefan> javaJake, you might be loading unsupported xorg modules for your gfx card
[12:14] <ubuntu> anu luck?
[12:14] <javaJake> This card is at least 3 years old
[12:14] <jake1> it makes the installer unusable
[12:14] <ubuntu> MotorCityMadMan1: any luck dude?
[12:14] <ubuntu> do u have kmail?
[12:14] <javaJake> JoseStefan, so radeon is unsupported!?
[12:14] <sholden> Has anyone tried setting the hot key for Gnome Deskbar?  I am trying to set the hot key to <ALT>` but it is not working.  I've been toying with it for a while, but can't find any good documentation.  Any suggestions?
[12:14] <javaJake> GLX!?
[12:14] <MotorCityMadMan1> ubuntu: i can install kmail. will that work ?
[12:14] <javaJake> GLcore!?
[12:14] <JoseStefan> javaJake, i mean specific xorg modules
[12:14] <javaJake> Nope
[12:14] <javaJake> Not really
[12:15] <javaJake> They're all pretty generic
[12:15] <ubuntu> MotorCityMadMan1: it has tool called kamilcvt download both, it will convert wab
[12:15] <javaJake> Just took the right configuration to get it to work
[12:15] <ubuntu> :)
[12:15] <AZzKikR> javaJake: radeon is supported, i got a radeon X800 myself
[12:15] <DooMRunneR> does anyone knows a powerfull alternative to rythmbox, not so winamp like things as xmms or beep?
[12:15] <javaJake> AZzKikR, my point exactly
[12:15] <ubuntu> DooMRunneR:  amarok
[12:15] <AZzKikR> DooMRunneR: how about 'Listen'?
[12:15] <Intangir> DooMRunneR: i heard one called like amoroka or something.. i dont remember..
[12:16] <javaJake> amorak
[12:16] <javaJake> Or something...
[12:16] <javaJake> LOL
[12:16] <AZzKikR> amaroK
[12:16] <Intangir> ya that sounds about right
[12:16] <Dravas> I wanna make it so that Clicking a background window focuses it to the front without having to click on the title of the window how do I do that
[12:16] <javaJake> :P
[12:16] <jake1> if my laptop has a DVD drive does that mean it can boot from DVD
[12:16] <DooMRunneR> i know amarok, but works not good under gnome
[12:16] <Intangir> its supposed to be powerful, and not winamp like
[12:16] <Dravas> Its really annoyunh
[12:16] <jake1> or only CD
[12:16] <MotorCityMadMan1> ubuntu: the motorcitymadman runs over to his box of tools. Plz stand bye
[12:16] <ubuntu> MotorCityMadMan1: kmailcvt it is in synaptic type , apt-get install kmailcvt
[12:16] <javaJake> jake1, depends on your BIOS
[12:16] <AZzKikR> DooMRunneR: then take a look at Listen
[12:16] <ubuntu> MotorCityMadMan1: ok
[12:16] <mistraal> anyone know how to change the home directory for suexec?
[12:16] <JoseStefan> jake1, usally both cd or dvd, but depends on bios
[12:16] <Intangir> Dravas: does that by default for me..
[12:17] <Dravas> Well Its not for me
[12:17] <Dravas> I have to click on teh edge of the window
[12:17] <Jack_Sparrow> jake, not 100%...
[12:17] <DooMRunneR> AZzKikR, take one, thank you
[12:17] <javaJake> To check that out, go INTO your BIOS (by pushing the right F1-12 key) and check the boot list
[12:17] <Intangir> Dravas: your on gnome?
[12:17] <Dravas> Intangir yes
[12:17] <DooMRunneR> AZzKikR, is listen available in the repos?
[12:17] <jake1> javaJake: would you think a computer purchased like two days ago would do that, considering lots of software is on DVD nowadays
[12:17] <Dravas> I am on gnome
[12:18] <Intangir> thats freaky. you musta accidently toggled something for it to do that
[12:18] <Dravas> :\
[12:18] <javaJake> jake1, I'd say, yes, most likely
[12:18] <Intangir> there should be a metacity, or gnome option somewhere to change it back
[12:18] <javaJake> jake1, newer computers do it
[12:18] <AZzKikR> DooMRunneR: not by default
[12:18] <Dravas> bbl
[12:18] <javaJake> jake1, as long as it IS new, and isn't refurbished, etc.
[12:18] <Jack_Sparrow> jake1: A new computer should boot to DVD but it MUST be set to look at the DVD in the boot sequence... Usually get to bios/cmos with the delete key during the memory check
[12:18] <AZzKikR> DooMRunneR: but i believe the website provides a repository location, i'll look it up
[12:19] <DooMRunneR> AZzKikR, cant find anything about it in google
[12:19] <LEMONed_> ok, I seem to of go the livecd to work but I'm still having trouble, ubuntu seems to start up fine and brings me to a red desktop, I hear a login tingle tangle tune and then gives me a red background with a mouse that I can move around.... nothing else I'm a linux noob and was wondering what I've done wrong?
[12:19] <javaJake> Shows how much I know
[12:19] <javaJake> :P
[12:19] <jake1> yea i do know how to make it boot from CD
[12:19] <DooMRunneR> AZzKikR, cool thank you
[12:19] <javaJake> Well, I'm going to try some other IRC channels
[12:19] <Solkaris> anyone know how to fix a problem with internet connection only partially working?
[12:19] <javaJake> If anyone here is an expert with X or ATI, let me know
[12:19] <javaJake> I'll be on under the name "javaJake" for the next 15 minutes
[12:20] <javaJake> LEAVE #ubuntu
[12:20] <AZzKikR> DooMRunneR: take a look at http://listengnome.free.fr/ it provides information, screenshots and a repository location for Dapper 6.06
[12:20] <DooMRunneR> AZzKikR, got it http://listengnome.free.fr/, thanx
[12:20] <javaJake> Rats
[12:20] <DooMRunneR> :D
[12:20] <AZzKikR> no problem :D
[12:20] <JoseStefan> javaJake, try a reconfigure of xserver-xorg, and disable any modules you dont use
[12:20] <jordanau> i want to make a custon ubuntu distro taylored towards a specific business, where would i get started
[12:20] <cjones> jordanau what kind of biz ?
[12:20] <jake1> now on another note........ i tried earlier to install Ubuntu on my AMD 64 Turion ML-32 Acer Aspire 5003WLMi notebook and i got the load screen where it told me to hit 'ENTER' for default installation (or something like that) i did, and then after that the installer only showed up on a small section of my monitor making it impossible to see what i was selecting and what not
[12:21] <ubuntu> later guys
[12:21] <jake1> it also does this on the Live CD
[12:21] <ubuntu> tc
[12:21] <jake1> any ideas of what that could be
[12:21] <jordanau> construction/architecture
[12:21] <jake1> i was considering trying to install it from the alternate installer on the website
[12:21] <jordanau> cjones, ^^
[12:21] <JoseStefan> jake1, you could try that
[12:21] <cjones> jordanau that sounds like fun are you thinking adding some cad stuff?
[12:22] <jordanau> cjones, yeah cad, scheduling, spreadsheet, groupware, accounting etc
[12:22] <jordanau> cjones, interested?
[12:22] <cjones> theres already spreadsheet in ubuntu
[12:22] <John[1] > What is the command to start the xserver in dapper?
[12:23] <AZzKikR> startx?
[12:23] <MotorCityMadMan1> ubuntu> E: Couldn't find package kamilcvt
[12:23] <Intangir> John[1] : what are you trying to do with it?
[12:23] <Intangir> theres different ways to start it
[12:23] <MotorCityMadMan1> kmail installed
[12:23] <jordanau> cjones, yes i know but i would eliminate games, extras, etc
[12:23] <John[1] > start up the gnome desktop.
[12:23] <AZzKikR> isn't gdm used to start the gnome desktop?
[12:24] <jordanau> gdm start or gdm restart
[12:24] <DooMRunneR> AZzKikR, thank you again, thats the thing ive searched for :D
[12:24] <Intangir> gdm starts it up with the login manager
[12:24] <cjones> jordanau have you thought about just starting with debian
[12:24] <BlueEagle> jake1: There is an option for VGA safe mode
[12:24] <AZzKikR> DooMRunneR: no problem :D i am beginning to get interested in Listen myself atm :P
[12:24] <BlueEagle> jake1: hit F4 instead of Enter on the boot screen.
[12:24] <jordanau> yes, but i like the hardware detection of ubuntu
[12:25] <BlueEagle> jake1: or something like that. It's a menu at the bottom of the screen.
[12:25] <Intangir> whats listen?
[12:25] <AZzKikR> Intangir: a music player using GTK
[12:25] <jordanau> cjones, ^
[12:25] <John[1] > is the command start gdm?
[12:25] <Intangir> is it really any better than others? like xmms? i still use xmms hehe
[12:25] <AZzKikR> Intangir: comparable with amaroK
[12:25] <nickerss> I just downloaded the desktop iso of ubuntu how do i get it to run without installing it?
[12:25] <jordanau> John[1] , no gdm start
[12:25] <AZzKikR> John[1] : gdm start
[12:25] <Kragnerac> Hello, I am going to install Ubuntu 6.06 (got the Live CD running right now). I am trying to choose between the ext3, reiser4, and XFS filesystems. My partition size is 33973. I want to know which one would be the most efficient for my partition?
[12:25] <Intangir> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[12:25] <amee2k> after login something keeps filling up my RAM and swap space, however the system monitor doesn't show anything anormal. how can i find out which process is going wild?
[12:25] <cjones> jordanau well put
[12:25] <Kragnerac> *33973 MB
[12:25] <John[1] > I get command not found
[12:26] <Intangir> Kragnerac: ext3 is most common
[12:26] <AZzKikR> John[1] : like Intangir said: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[12:26] <JoseStefan> John[1] : or restart instead
[12:26] <Intangir> John[1] : you might want to use stop first just to make sure its dead
[12:26] <synic> amee2k: how do you know?
[12:27] <nickerss> can you really run ubuntu from the .iso without installing?
[12:27] <amee2k> because of the system monitor in my panel
[12:28] <synic> amee2k: what does it say?
[12:28] <Intangir> nickerss: if you get the live CD, yes
[12:28] <nickerss> i got the desktop cd for mac
[12:28] <JoseStefan> nickerss, after burning it to a CD :P
[12:28] <amee2k> user memory: 1.7G of 2G, used swap 850M of 3.8G
[12:28] <nickerss> ohh ok
[12:28] <nickerss> thanks
[12:28] <amee2k> and counting...
[12:28] <nickerss> just boot to it?
[12:29] <amee2k> and that is definitely NOT normal, considering a normal RAM usage of <500M
[12:29] <amee2k> any ideas?
[12:30] <JoseStefan> nickerss, yes
[12:30] <xxpor> is software update screwing up compiz?
[12:30] <amee2k> i'm trying to post a screenshot but that takes time atm
[12:30] <synic> amee2k: you running 64bit?
[12:30] <bbrazil> amee2k: agressive swappiness (tuneable), caching files (normal)
[12:30] <amee2k> yep, 64 bit, AMD64
[12:30] <synic> amee2k: sounds normal to me.
[12:31] <amee2k> NORMAL?!
[12:31] <amee2k> that it spontaneously uses 3 gigs when idle?
[12:32] <synic> amee2k: view the processes and sort by resident memory
[12:32] <amee2k> well, now 4 gigs
[12:32] <JoseStefan> amee2k, i think ubuntu takes up spare memory for caching
[12:32] <amee2k> already tried, even with "all processes", it doesn't show something wrong
[12:33] <JoseStefan> is there a compact way to show the info on "free"
[12:33] <amee2k> JoseStefan: that's NOT caching. cache memory is shown separately
[12:33] <JoseStefan> i'm not running much and i am at: 774808     752812      21996  (total,used,free)
[12:34] <synic> amee2k: what does the top item in that list show for "resident memory" ?
[12:34] <amee2k> 39M
[12:34] <amee2k> that's mozilla atm. trying to post the screenshot
[12:34] <MotorCityMadMan1> just what does this mean ?  ~$ ICE default IO error handler doing an exit(), pid = 13665, errno = 0
[12:34] <amee2k> next one is nautilus with 28M
[12:35] <MotorCityMadMan1> i think it wood be good if i shorten my user name
[12:35] <Intangir> MotorCityMadMan1: thats bad
[12:35] <MotorCityMadMan1> what is ?
[12:36] <Intangir> MotorCityMadMan1: what are you doing when you get that error?
[12:36] <amee2k> http://img183.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotmemgk7.png
[12:36] <itrebal> minor issue with my ubuntu installation... i just installed it, and its going through about to configure everything and the like and its on the very first part saying "preparing for installation" after it reboots
[12:36] <JoseStefan> amee2k, try sorting top by mem%
[12:36] <MotorCityMadMan1> Intangir: working with a shell
[12:36] <itrebal> it doesn't respond after a while so i go to tty2 and check on it with 'top' and its taking up 99% CPU and not doing anything
[12:37] <wikijeff> Does anyone know why there isn't an entry for my ALPS touchpad in /proc/bus/input/devices ???? My touchpad isn't responding to anything.
[12:37] <amee2k> how do i sort in top?
[12:37] <MotorCityMadMan1> also this / X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 168
[12:38] <JoseStefan> amee2k, press x, then b, then >
[12:38] <FantasticFoo> is it safe to update to the newer version of X now? or is that update still the shitty one
[12:38] <rredd4> yes
[12:38] <jvai> wow, does adding more applets to the panel use more memory?
[12:38] <jvai> wow..
[12:38] <JoseStefan> amee2k, by default that should end up sorting by mem, you could press h for help
[12:38] <argument> FantasticFoo, that update was fine for me
[12:38] <rredd4> FantasticFoo  do sudo apt-get update    first
[12:38] <amee2k> each keypress on that box takes almost a minute now
[12:39] <Intangir> amee2k: i think something has gone terribly wrong
[12:39] <argument> FantasticFoo, yeh, you'll wanna have the rest of your system up to date anyhow
[12:39] <JoseStefan> amee2k, you might want to sort by cpu too, something is eating up resources
[12:39] <wikijeff> Anyone??? Can anyone even see this??
[12:39] <rredd4> yes
[12:39] <argument> wikijeff, yes
[12:39] <Intangir> MotorCityMadMan1: i always get that when running qt apps, it doesnt seem to mean anything
[12:39] <itrebal> anyone know what might be causing this strange behavior? i've restarted it a few times but its not rixing it
[12:39] <amee2k> the lag is caused by excessive bus I/O
[12:39] <argument> itrebal, hey you use ubuntu too eh?
[12:39] <MotorCityMadMan1> kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KAction::plugAccel(): call to deprecated action.
[12:39] <itrebal> argument: trying :/
[12:40] <itrebal> :)
[12:40] <argument> heheh trying? lol
[12:40] <itrebal> yea - it was going great, supported my usb and sata drives with the stock kernel
[12:40] <MotorCityMadMan1> going to shorten name
[12:40] <x1977x> hi folks,, im new,,. can anyone help me with this: i have a sata HD which is where ubuntu is installed (alone--no windows); i also have ntfs HD (not sata,, whats that, IDE?) with all my stuff on it (just storage, no OS).  when i boot my computer, it fails, unless i press f12 and tell it to boot from the correct HD.. how do i alter the BIOS to have it boot that HD automatically?
[12:40] <itrebal> and then BAM - i restart after the initial installation and it doesn't work
[12:41] <itrebal> x1977x: i'd recommend trying #hardware
[12:41] <gb453> What is the best way to get WPA working in 6.06?
[12:41] <lupine> x1977x: bios should have an option to let you select the default boot device
[12:41] <Intangir> x1977x: just browse around your bios, thers bound to be an option for it
[12:41] <teimu> is it possible to update from breezy to dapper easily? like an installer i could run on breezy and then restart with dapper?
[12:41] <itrebal> argument: its rather irritating :/
[12:41] <x1977x> cool, ty :)
[12:41] <god_> hey guys, can anyone help me with this problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=242132 ?
[12:42] <amee2k> it is snhelper - 1.5g VIRT, 73 %MEM
[12:43] <lhds> hello there. i want to ask about that program that lets you turn on and off the boot modules... what was its name? like hp printing, smb, logging etc
[12:43] <amee2k> what is snhelper and how can i get rid of it?
[12:43] <JoseStefan> amee2k, you can kill it, but i would make sure what it is first
[12:43] <mitch> lhds: bum?
[12:43] <amee2k> never heard of it
[12:43] <itrebal> have you thought about snhelper's feelings?
[12:43] <beowuff> god_ do "ps-ef | grep mysqld". Does it list mysqld?
[12:43] <JoseStefan> itrebal, he will respawn on someone elses computer :D

[12:44] <itrebal> tomasz27: practice... LOTS of practice

[12:44] <virogenesis> tomasz27,  do you use code view or what?
[12:45] <amee2k> no man page, no which output
[12:45] <itrebal> alright this is seriously bugging me
[12:45] <beowuff> god_ looks like mysql is not running. Check mysql's log. Probably under /var/log/mysql. I don't know as I don't run mysql. Also, try asking on mysql forum/irc.
[12:45] <tomasz27> design and code views
[12:46] <amee2k> hm... seems part of vmware. i'll go and ask there
[12:46] <virogenesis> ahh alright tomasz27  take a look at http://www.aptana.com
[12:46] <itrebal> argument: you wouldn't have any idea on how to get this to work, would you?
[12:46] <god_> beowuff the mysql logs are no help
[12:46] <tomasz27> ok
[12:46] <tomasz27>  thanks
[12:47] <skipp_OSX> hello, need help setting up Ubuntu as an nis client
[12:47] <teimu> dashriKe, dual boot. wine is okay for older games, with some exceptions, but with win, programs run the way they are supposed to. no patching problems, official drivers for vid and aud
[12:48] <teimu> well, now i will rephrase. how should i go about making breezy into dapper?
[12:48] <beowuff> god_ for some reason mysqld is not running. If it was, it should have shown up with the ps-ef | grep mysqld. If it trys to start, it should write to the log file why. You can try /etc/init.d/mysqld start. You will probably have to run it as root.
[12:48] <dashriKe> I wonder if they well release a linux version of it?
[12:48] <skipp_OSX> I have a FreeBSD box setup as an nis server and I have Ubuntu 6.06 setup as a client but for some reason I can't seem to login with any nis users
[12:48] <synic> dashriKe: I wouldn't doubt it.
[12:48] <synic> dashriKe: they've been pretty good about supporting linux
[12:48] <teimu> dashriKe, well, luckily, thats an id game. they usually port thier stuff for us
[12:48] <god_> i've tried that, the result is show in that link i posted
[12:49] <teimu> isnt their some ubuntu_teacher or lessons or school channel?
[12:50] <estaloca> i'm trying to get 3d acceleration working for my ati card on dapper on AMD 64. When i type in fglrxinfo I get "Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual!".  I followed the guides, no success. Anyone know what I can do?
[12:50] <paroneayea> why on earth did the ubuntu developers decide to have the whole gnome desktop depend on gamin?????
[12:50] <dashriKe> I hope they do
[12:50] <dashriKe> that is a game I plan on actually buying
[12:51] <beowuff> god_ I hate to say it, but this looks like a problem with mysql, and would probably be better delt with by mysql users. Have you tried asking in #mysql?
[12:51] <Flamekebab> arse barbeque, so THAT'S why cipherfunk isn't working any more..
[12:51] <x1977x> itrebal: i checked #hardware and got some really good help.  thanks for the tip!
[12:51] <faux> paroneayea, so that thet can keep track of changes in the filesystem?
[12:51] <Sapaki> hi any help in configuring my wireless adaptor for ubuntu 5.10
[12:52] <paroneayea> faux: I know, but it's a terrible decision.  Not everyone wants it.
[12:52] <jordanau> if i want to install another linux distro all i have to do is resize my present partition right?
[12:52] <god_> thanks beowuff, i'll ask there
[12:52] <faux> paroneayea, why? I find it pretty much essential
[12:52] <tchmnkyz> hey all, i followed the restricted formats page and still dont have a working system to play xvid files what else can i do?
[12:52] <paroneayea> there's no reason it should be a dependency... it should be an option.
[12:52] <cjones_> .quit
[12:52] <estaloca> have anyone successfully installed xgl/compiz?
[12:53] <gnomefreak> estaloca: try #ubuntu-xgl
[12:54] <paroneayea> faux: it both slows things down, and in the project I am working on I have a script which unmounts the device on which the user's home directory resides after they log out... now such a thing can't be done for several minutes after the user logs out due to gamin staring at the home directory for a while
[12:54] <estaloca> gnomefreak: thanks
[12:54] <gnomefreak> estaloca: yw
[12:54] <paroneayea> it also generally slows down the system, so I can't see any reason why it should be essential... it shoudl be optional.
[12:54] <__root___> whats a good text based programe thaTS like xmms that you can run from the command prompt
[12:55] <faux> paroneayea, I thought most locking issues were resolved
[12:55] <tchmnkyz> xmms can be ran from the cmd
[12:55] <synic> __root___: mp3blaster
[12:55] <paroneayea> faux: hm.  Maybe I should update the system.  How long ago were these to have been solved?
[12:55] <__root___> synic i get "unabel to open display"
[12:55] <bubu1uk> __root__: i recommend mp3blaster too. is very nice and good
[12:56] <__root___> bubu1uk can i apt-get install it ?\
[12:56] <John[1] > Looks like I'm stuck again at 15% install.
[12:56] <John[1] > On the desktop install that is.
[12:56] <bubu1uk> __root__: dunno, search for it. i had it on gentoo box
[12:56] <paroneayea> doesn't look like there's any update in the next upgrade
[12:57] <faux> paroneayea, at the time when fam was replaced by gamin, which was pretty long ago
[12:57] <__root___> ok
[12:57] <__root___> thanks
[12:57] <tchmnkyz> anyone with the restricted file formats
[12:57] <__root___> anybody in hera know much about luynks
[12:57] <__root___> links
[12:57] <paroneayea> at any rate, I still think this should be optional
[12:58] <Tonren> Gah... this is the second time my install has hung, on two different parts
[12:58] <Tonren> Once while copying files, and now while "setting upt eh clock"
[12:58] <Tonren> I guess I'll just wait longer
[12:58] <faux> paroneayea, so file a bug about it :)
[12:58] <paroneayea> faux: fair enough
[12:59] <__root___> every time i start links to surf the web i it hangs up at a blinking curser ?
[12:59] <John[1] > well i'm at 33%
[01:00] <John[1] > Wow, made it all the way to 45% now.  This is the 3rd try to install.
[01:02] <riddlebox> hello, if I wanted to upgrade to edgy eft, would I just replace dapper in /etc/apt/sources.list with edgy?
[01:02] <bean-oh> anyone familiar with setting up serial devices?
[01:02] <Tonren> Hey guys, what does it mean if my live CD GUI installer hangs?
[01:02] <riddlebox> bean-oh, well I have been working on a serial remote, I may be able to help
[01:02] <Tonren> John[1] : is yours hanging too?
[01:03] <The_Kid123> hey yall, just got ubuntu installed on my old computer
[01:03] <The_Kid123> just don't have it on the 'net
[01:03] <John[1] > My installer has hung about 3 times, its working now.
[01:03] <bean-oh> riddlebox, i have a problem, my serial port (ttyS0) wasn't being detected properly. it was using an "undefined" UART. I poked around a bit, and found the place to hard-code it to 16550A (which it is), and it still won't work with minicom.
[01:04] <The_Kid123> hey yall, got a problem w/ drivers
[01:04] <cjones> how do you take a screen shot when your useing someing like lynx or bitchx ?
[01:04] <riddlebox> bean-oh, you may want to use an app called setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart .....
[01:05] <bean-oh> cjones, i believe bitchx does logging, and i think you can save pages with lynx
[01:05] <bean-oh> riddlebox, yes, tried that too. on boot it doesn't save it, so i set it up in another place. either way, setserial doesn't really help
[01:06] <monteiro> anyone knows a away to disable the touchpad ?
[01:06] <cjones> bean-oh
[01:06] <cjones> bean-oh thanks
[01:06] <riddlebox> bean-oh, sorry then, thats what I had to do to get my lirc drivers to see my irblaster
[01:07] <bean-oh> riddlebox, most i've gotten it to do is flood login prompts from the serial console until the device on the other end gets annoyed at the flood and kills the the connection
[01:07] <lhds> how to make a deb file out of a source file?
[01:07] <wikijeff> Anyone know why there isn't an entry for my touchpad in /proc/bus/input/devices?? My touchpad isn't working now.
[01:07] <riddlebox> bean-oh, sounds like fun :p
[01:08] <bean-oh> riddlebox, yeah, not much! haha it works 100% fine on my workstation. just doesn't like the serial port on my laptop.
[01:08] <mischko> How do I configure my wireless network card on Ubuntu Server?
[01:08] <mischko> I'm using WPA-PSK and TKIP.
[01:09] <tehsu> I am trying to install ubuntu on my laptop and it freezes at 57%
[01:09] <itrebal> alright i just reinstalled it all and its still failing
[01:09] <itrebal> after i install everything, reboot, and it comes up to finish the installation it stops responding
[01:10] <tehsu> Anyone know why the install freezes?
[01:10] <tehsu> boots up fine into live cd
[01:10] <lhds> after tar xzvf the file i need to install it . i downloaded checkinstall and in ,/configure but it returns no such file or dir whats wrong?
[01:11] <npodges> is there a "configure" file, ihds?
[01:11] <sean> anyone know the cd burner program to burn an iso image?
[01:11] <lhds> there is a single file
[01:11] <rambo3> sean k3b
[01:11] <npodges> sean, gnomebaker too
[01:11] <carthik> sean, in nautilus, right click on the iso and choose burn
[01:11] <npodges> or nautilus
[01:12] <tuxtux> notte a tutti
[01:12] <wweasel> I would use natilus if I just wanted to burn an iso, as carthik said.
[01:13] <pushpop> Any Ubuntu's Users use MythTV ?
[01:13] <rambo3> pushpop, yes
[01:13] <sean> k
[01:13] <sean> thanks
[01:13] <pushpop> cool, do you use a tuner card or firewire?
[01:13] <Sitouh> Would anyone be willing to help a relative Linux novice set up wpa-supplicant?
[01:14] <Anubuntu> Hello, I need some help, I booted up my system and grub gave me error 17, what does this mean and how does one fix it?
[01:14] <rambo3> ! wifi > Sitouh
[01:15] <wweasel> Sitouh: wpa_supplicant should be already setup in Dapper.
[01:15] <rambo3> Anubuntu, your partition where boot/grub/ is too far for bios to read
[01:15] <misieq> is there a low-level disk checking software? that won't only check partitions but also mbr/whole disk because there seems to be problem with my hdd that fsck can't handle with
[01:15] <mischko> ! wifi > mischko
[01:15] <Sitouh> Dapper?
[01:15] <wweasel> Sitouh: Sorry. In the latest version of Ubuntu.
[01:15] <wweasel> Sitouh: It is preinstalled.
[01:15] <Anubuntu> rambo3: well can you give me a solution, since my windows disk is at the beginning of the drive?
[01:15] <tnzr> Sitouh: what card
[01:16] <Sitouh> tnzr: Airlink 101 PCMCIA
[01:16] <tnzr> does the card show up in iwconfig?
[01:16] <rambo3> Anubuntu, boot from floppy or move ubuntu partition or what ever partition you can put grub on closer to start of disk
[01:16] <wweasel> Sitouh: Does it work fine without WPA?
[01:17] <Anubuntu> rambo3: is there any way to do this without damaging the windows partition?
[01:17] <Sitouh> tnzr: Yes, it does
[01:17] <Anubuntu> rambo3: since its at the beginning of the drive?
[01:17] <pushpop> rambo3: do you use firewire for mythtv or a tuner card?
[01:18] <Sitouh> wweasel: I don't know - I don't have a non-WPA network handy to connect to.
[01:18] <rambo3> pushpop, tuner card
[01:18] <lhds> is there  a utility for applying Blackbox themes to applications ?
[01:18] <wweasel> Sitouh: Are you able to temporarily turn down the security on your router?
[01:18] <pushpop> rambo3: you know anything about configuring it with usb?
[01:18] <pushpop> rambo3: I mean firewire
[01:18] <rambo3> no
[01:19] <rambo3> ask in #mythtv-users or search ubuntu forums
[01:19] <misieq> ! vdr > misieq
[01:20] <justin_> Where can I find the "add/remove" list in Ubuntu - for programs not in Synaptic?
[01:20] <John[1] > I just got a eroor that said grub failed to load or install and then a error that said installer failed.
[01:20] <rambo3> Anubuntu, i dont realy know much about resizing . but its doable
[01:21] <wweasel> justin_: Add/remove won't let you isntall programs that aren't in synaptic
[01:21] <John[1] > What next to fix or is it hosed?
[01:21] <npodges> can someone give me a link on how to theme the screen before gdm launches?
[01:21] <npodges> or explain it
[01:21] <Sitouh> wweasel: Hold on - just got the router password
[01:21] <itrebal> woo! i did a non "expert" install and it works... ijust have to go through and configure things
[01:21] <wweasel> Sitouh: np. I am just wondering if your problem is with WPA, or the network card itself.
[01:22] <justin_> wweasel: Well what I am wondering is - do I have to mentally keep track of all the DEBS I install? - Like the complete file name etc, when I want to un-install them?
[01:22] <wweasel> justin_: Nope. You can remove some things by unticking them in Add/Remove. Synaptic is the most powerful tool though
[01:22] <bbrazil> justin_: if you run aptitude, it'll give you a list of manually installed and obselete debs
[01:23] <wweasel> justin_: You can search through your installed debs and right click and remove any of them you want.
[01:23] <Sitouh> wweasel: It works fine when I boot in Windows
[01:24] <gb453> How can i configure wpa_supplicant to work with a prism 2.5 wavelan (orinoco driver)?
[01:24] <justin_> wweasel: Yes I know how Synaptic works, I am talking about Debs I manually installed that were not in synaptic, bbrazil - Thnks, i'll give it a shot
[01:24] <pushpop> is "make" a valid command in ubuntu?
[01:24] <wweasel> justin_: Synaptic gives them a category all to themselves. Hold on, I'll pull it up
[01:24] <bbrazil> justin_: also, you only need to keep track of the package name, maybe also the version
[01:24] <bbrazil> pushpop: sudo aptitude install build-essential
[01:25] <wweasel> justin_: Open up Synaptic, on the sidebar on the left see Installed (local or obsolete).
[01:25] <wweasel> justin_: this will have all of your locally installed debs
[01:25] <tehsu> I'm using ubuntu live, and if I try to install, it freezes at 57%
[01:26] <tehsu> Does anyone know why it would freeze?
[01:26] <justin_> wweasel: I do not seem to have this menu in Synaptic
[01:26] <itrebal> tehsu: what kind of install?
[01:26] <Tonren> pushpop: sudo aptitude install build-essential
[01:26] <tehsu> 6.06.1
[01:26] <beowuff> tehsu, have you tried another disk? Maybe it's a bad burn...
[01:26] <wweasel> Sitouh: Yep. Wireless can be a supreme pain in Linux. But there are two possible problems here if you can't connect to your WPA network. It's possible WPA isn't configured, but I think it may be more likely that the network card isn't properly configured. That's why we should try connecting to something WEP or unencrypted.
[01:26] <tehsu> installing through ubuntu
[01:26] <npodges> sudo aptitude install make
[01:27] <wweasel> justin_: Go to status (below the sidebar).
[01:27] <prat> does anyone know if there is a way to extract/find the .config kernel config info for stock ubuntu kernels?
[01:27] <tehsu> beowuff: i have not, ill try that
[01:27] <tehsu> could it be anything else
[01:27] <pushpop> Tonren: what does that do.
[01:27] <rambo3> prat you mean like one in /boot/
[01:27] <bbrazil> pushpop: should be in /boot
[01:27] <beowuff> tehsu, I can't remember from when I installed, but you may be able to hit CTL F4 to see a console with error messages.
[01:28] <tehsu> ok
[01:28] <npodges> does anyone here use kiba-dock?
[01:28] <justin_> wweasel: Not there, however I have it in console aptitude :)
[01:28] <wweasel> justin_: alright
[01:28] <tehsu> what happens is, it hits 57% the cd and the computer busy light is running and 2 or 3 minutes later it shuts off
[01:28] <justin_> And since I spend most of my time in console, it works out :P thnks
[01:28] <neuroe> hello
[01:29] <beowuff> tehsu, did you burn the cd yourself?
[01:29] <bbrazil> tehsu: bad hdd? Can you do a crtl-alt-f1 ?
[01:29] <prat> rambo3, sweet!  thanks  thats exactly what i was looking for
[01:29] <neuroe> i think i broke something
[01:29] <tehsu> yes i burn't it myself
[01:30] <neuroe> can someone help me?
[01:31] <beowuff> tehsu, I have had to reburn cd's at slower speeds to get older hardware to read them. If you do reburn, try setting the burn speed at 8.
[01:31] <carthik> !ask
[01:31] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:31] <woodgrain> neuroe, what's up?
[01:31] <neuroe> i tried to move a folder and now my start up themes stoped working, everything looks like it did before but the theme chooser is coming up blank
[01:31] <beowuff> tehsu, however, since it booted, it's reading the cd fine. Could be that it messed up the burn on one package. Does it always stop in the same spot?
[01:32] <npodges> neuroe what theme?
[01:32] <npodges> folder**
[01:32] <woodgrain> neuroe, which folder?
[01:32] <neuroe> the startup themes
[01:32] <neuroe> usr/share/gdm/themes
[01:32] <wweasel> beowuff, tehsu: Have you tried checking the integrity of the CD?
[01:32] <woodgrain> neuroe, can't you just put it back?
[01:32] <neuroe> nothing moved
[01:33] <rambo3> did you move /usr/share/themes
[01:33] <neuroe> i used the command sudo mv -t EarthLights /usr/share/gdm/themes
[01:33] <npodges> you should install the theme using the gui
[01:33] <npodges> in system>admin>login window
[01:33] <neuroe> yea i noticed that but it's too late
[01:34] <MotorCityMadMan1> test
[01:34] <neuroe> the folders are all still there i don't understand what happened
[01:35] <neuroe> both the folder i tried the move and the folders that were in the directory i tried to move them too
[01:35] <npodges> are you sure thats what broke it then, neuroe?
[01:35] <mack> hey
[01:36] <neuroe> the theme chooser has no themes to choose
[01:36] <neuroe> i'm afraid if i reboot that there will be no theme at the login screen and i won't be able to log in
[01:37] <mack> does the "network tools" window in ubuntu support using wpa encryption? it asks for a wep code even though my wireless is set up for wpa
[01:37] <sishgupta> i dont think so mack
[01:37] <sishgupta> use network manager
[01:38] <mack> i see "networking" and "network tools". i'm in "networking" right now
[01:38] <mack> i dont want to leave my wireless in my house on wep. im setting up a wireless webserver
[01:39] <d0nk3y> sudo apt-get build-dep mythtv : It says it could not be satisfied, is there something wrong with that command?
[01:39] <neuroe> npodges, do you know what that command did?

[01:44] <taychouri-a> anyone here know how to take my songs from my ipod and put them onto my ubunut
[01:44] <eugman> Cool
[01:44] <djmassive> How come when i load a song into amaroK, it doesn't play? it just says 'playlist finished'...
[01:44] <Miek> eugman: mine runs on a 333MHz AMD K6
[01:44] <exobuzz> djmassive: maybe you dont have the required plugin and it cant play the song
[01:45] <djmassive> i just installed a bunch of plugins.... what ones do i need?
[01:45] <exobuzz> djmassive: check which engine you are using and if it has mp3 support (or whatever the song is your playing)
[01:45] <taychouri-a> MP3
[01:45] <taychouri-a> lol
[01:45] <eugman> Also, I'm curious. Is there any list of equivalent programs like irssi and mutt if I wanted to do that?
[01:45] <exobuzz> you need whatever plugin handles the format you are playing
[01:45] <bruno> oi
[01:45] <neuroe> hrm mp3 maybe?
[01:45] <djmassive> i just need an mp3 plugin
[01:45] <taychouri-a> anyone here know how to sync my ipod to my linux
[01:45] <neuroe> yes mp3
[01:46] <itrebal> would there be any serious issues concering installing linux-image-k7-smp with a K8 board?
[01:46] <trojix> eugman, search a repository or Google for "CLI *prgram*" or whatever.
[01:46] <cafuego> itrebal: no
[01:46] <hth> hi, this is my first try installing ubuntu with soft raid on an array0, i tried to follow the wiki page but didnt work... received kernel error during installation... id like to know how may i do it or have a link to a step by step detailled step to set it up succesfully
[01:46] <eugman> taychouri-a, gtkpod works for me. A search in the forums should have more help.
[01:47] <neuroe> taychorui-a if you get the plugin you can play the songs from the ipod threw your cpu
[01:47] <neuroe> just plug in the ipod
[01:47] <itrebal> cafuego: alrighty
[01:47] <exobuzz> hth. there is a good step by step on the gentoo wiki which i used to help me setup raid
[01:47] <eugman> Oh, I thought he meant the other way.
[01:47] <exobuzz> ok its gentoo, but the information is mostly valid for ubuntu
[01:47] <neuroe> i always come in here looking for help but end up helping the noober noobs
[01:47] <djmassive> i'm using dapper drake, if that helps... what do i need to get so i can get amaroK to play my mp3s?
[01:47] <jake1> ok...... i have been trying all day to get Ubuntu installed, but some reason it isn't working right

[01:48] <taychouri-a> so theres no way to put them on the computer?
[01:48] <cafuego> taychouri-a: 'gtkpod' will do it happily.
[01:48] <hth> exobuzz ill take it u have the link.. im not a well experienced linux users i have a copy of ubuntu alternate install right now
[01:48] <neuroe> yaychouri-a, yes there is
[01:48] <taychouri-a> oh ok
[01:48] <taychouri-a> so
[01:48] <jake1> the image of the installation process isn't completely visable
[01:48] <neuroe> if you plug it in you should be able to just copy them
[01:48] <jake1> can someone look at the picture and tell me what they think
[01:48] <taychouri-a> kk well
[01:48] <bruenig> jake1, yeah it looks like the screen resolution is so off that you can't view all of the text
[01:48] <exobuzz> hth: i dont have a link handy but google probably knows where it is. first you have to find the gentoo wiki and then search for "raid howto" :)
[01:48] <taychouri-a> cuz i am goin back to linux
[01:49] <taychouri-a> and i dun wanna lose my 2000 songs
[01:49] <taychouri-a> lol
[01:49] <jake1> bruenig: what can i do about that???
[01:49] <bruenig> don't know
[01:49] <cafuego> taychouri-a: open gtkpod, right click the song (or a selection of songs) and click 'Export'
[01:49] <taychouri-a> kk
[01:49] <taychouri-a> thanks cafuego
[01:49] <taychouri-a> :)
[01:49] <jake1> there has got to be a way to get this installed
[01:49] <neuroe> taychouri-a, do you know how to use synaptic?
[01:49] <bruenig> not even sure that is the problem but looking at it makes me think that might be the problem
[01:49] <SitouhTest> wweasel: Got security turned off, it doesn't seem to be letting me connect
[01:49] <waspius> hi..i just found out what karamba does and how nice it is...if i use a simple desktop such as fluxbox will i be able to use karamba without using allot of resources as i would if i used it in kde?
[01:49] <mack> #1 sign youre getting used to linux: you try to highlight and middle-click to copy/paste...
[01:49] <taychouri-a> remind me what that is neuroe, i havent used linux in a hwile
[01:50] <exobuzz> oh.. launchpad isnt down. my machine is being borked.. that will teach me to try and test edgy out...
[01:50] <jake1> does anyone else know???
[01:50] <neuroe> synaptic package manager
[01:50] <mack> anyway... http://en.magenson.de/2006/06/11/ubuntu-dapper-drake-and-wpa-encrypted-wireless/ should i trust that on how to make my computer accept wpa?
[01:50] <taychouri-a> yeahhh
[01:50] <taychouri-a> that think
[01:50] <taychouri-a> thing
[01:50] <taychouri-a> with
[01:50] <jale2ice> taychouri-a, create a vfat partition for the songs and then mount it when you get linux up and running
[01:50] <taychouri-a> all the installation
[01:50] <tehsu> i forgot who was helping me, i made a new cd.. i burnt it at 4x instead of 44x and testing the install now
[01:50] <taychouri-a> jale2ice, im not that god with computers, lol. i wish i would know how to do that
[01:50] <taychouri-a> good*
[01:51] <bruenig> taychouri-a, copy them all to disk
[01:51] <taychouri-a> i cant!
[01:51] <taychouri-a> its
[01:51] <bruenig> get 15 dvds or something
[01:51] <exobuzz> hmm or maybe not. can someone else tell me if launchpad.net is working ?
[01:51] <taychouri-a> i dun have a dvd drive :)
[01:51] <exobuzz> not sure if I have some weird networking problem. i can ping it. but no http
[01:51] <jale2ice> taychouri-a, get a partition manager (partition magic) or even a linux liveCD and create a vfat partition with the free space you got... move all the songs into the partition then load the linux distro of your choice
[01:51] <taychouri-a> launch pad is wokrin
[01:51] <trojix> Ditto.
[01:51] <exobuzz> oh dear..
[01:52] <kditty> how do you know if you have gtk 1.x or gtk 2.x?
[01:52] <neuroe> well use that to install GTKPod
[01:52] <jake1> well hopefully someone can help me
[01:52] <exobuzz> weird. i can get to google on http but not launchpad!
[01:52] <taychouri-a> sigh jale
[01:52] <jale2ice> taychouri-a, when you do all that and have your linux distro loaded and configured, mount -t vfat /dev/xdax /mnt/share or something of the sort
[01:52] <taychouri-a> lol
[01:52] <taychouri-a> so confusing
[01:52] <bruenig> taychouri-a, get the ubuntu live cd. Boot into and come in here. I can guide you through getting your music on a vfat partition and keeping them safe while the other partition gets formated for ubuntu
[01:52] <hth> i saw that gentoo wiki but its complicated for nothing... i might just need to know how to partition my 2 hd... then create dmraid... but i dont know how to make the partitions... thats my problem i know how to make regular ones.. but not for an array0 raid.. pissing me off since it sounds easyt with the alternate cd
[01:52] <taychouri-a> kk bruenig
[01:52] <taychouri-a> one sec
[01:52] <taychouri-a> cuz
[01:52] <taychouri-a> i used shipit
[01:52] <jale2ice> get a gentoo liveCD
[01:52] <jale2ice> :)
[01:52] <bruenig> that is fine
[01:52] <taychouri-a> and i havend tried it
[01:52] <exobuzz> aha. https is broken..
[01:53] <taychouri-a> so
[01:53] <exobuzz> humph..
[01:53] <taychouri-a> lemme get on it
[01:53] <taychouri-a> and i come back ok
[01:53] <taychouri-a> :)
[01:53] <taychouri-a> thanks brue
[01:53] <hth> jale2ice???
[01:53] <cafuego> kditty: You have gtk 2.x
[01:53] <trojix> E17 in repository?
[01:53] <zirpu> is there an /etc/apt/sources.list tweak that can be used to dist-upgrade from 6.06 to 6.06.1 ?
[01:53] <jale2ice> hth, i'm a gentoo user :/
[01:53] <Harksaw> got a little trouble... I just installed ubuntu on my D945GPM motherboard, and the onboard sound card is acting strangely. The PCM control on the Volume Control does nothing, only the Front control. The sound card works but the volume is almost inaudible on a large stereo. Ideas?
[01:53] <SitouhTest> Could someone help me get a wireless card running?
[01:53] <hth> im not trying to set it up on gentoo but on ubuntu dapper
[01:53] <kditty> ok, thanks
[01:54] <jale2ice> hth, i was kidding... glad you caught it minutes later
[01:54] <bruenig> zirpu, 6.06.1 is 6.06 with all of the accumunlated updates over the past few months
[01:54] <bruenig> so that if you do install now you don't have 190+ updates to install
[01:54] <zirpu> ah. ok. thanks.
[01:54] <jake1> does anyone else have any ideas to why my screen looks like this, and what can i do to fix it
[01:54] <cafuego> hth: If you don't already use the software raid in windows, simply  set the controller to standard ide/sata mode, then use 'md' raid.
[01:54] <hth> jale2ice i not feeling like laughing much but feeling to make it work asap\
[01:55] <jale2ice> hth, yeah...

[01:56] <hth> the problem im having is that i dont know how 2 partition my 2 hd to successfully make a array0
[01:56] <d0nk3y> tehsu: http://pastebin.ca/146932
[01:56] <hth> that might be why it doesnt work
[01:56] <d0nk3y> tehsu: I need to allow it to run qmake
[01:57] <bruenig> trojix, what is e17
[01:57] <bruenig> ?
[01:57] <Urban> Can anyone help me. When I try to install Ubuntu, it goes all the way through but then my screen go blank and I get a message saying "Out of frequency range" Is this problem specific to Ubuntu or should I google it?
[01:57] <trojix> bruenig, Enlightenment 17, the window manager.
[01:57] <tehsu> ive never heard of a qmake

[02:00] <jordanau> can i safely resize my / partition?
[02:00] <hth> well
[02:00] <Sitouh> wweasel: Yes, my wireless card works when I turn off WPA security
[02:00] <jale2ice> jordanau, yes
[02:00] <beowuff> tehsu, so, it looks like either a corrupt package on the first burn, or just burned too fast for the other cdrom to read...
[02:00] <tehsu> yup
[02:01] <tehsu> i burnt this one at 4x
[02:01] <tehsu> otherone was at max
[02:01] <jordanau> jale2ice, just gun g or qparted from a live cd and reduct the size?
[02:01] <jordanau> reduce *
[02:01] <tehsu> thanx for your help
[02:01] <tehsu> i would've never thought of a bad burn
[02:01] <jale2ice> jordanau, qparted works nice...
[02:02] <jordanau> jale2ice, and nothing special to do, all of my present data is stored at the beginning of the partition?
[02:02] <makro>
[02:02] <makro> oops
[02:03] <jale2ice> jordanau, i used parted
[02:03] <jale2ice> and it didn't care where the info was
[02:03] <jordanau> great thanks
[02:03] <beowuff> tehsu, is this an older computer your installing on?
[02:03] <tehsu> nope

[02:03] <jale2ice> jordanau, i used tools like resize_reiserfs and fdisk
[02:04] <jale2ice> jordanau, i think it's the best way and it works
[02:04] <tehsu> ok its done
[02:04] <tehsu> brb
[02:05] <jordanau> thank you very much
[02:06] <fyyrest0rm> anyone here have experience with world of warcraft under wine?

[02:09] <bruenig> madman, you mean the notification area or tray?
[02:09] <bruenig> or do you mean the applications menus that has the internet games and graphics submenus among others
[02:10] <madman-> bruenig: the application drop down menu
[02:10] <w30> bruenig, go to the applications menu and pick alacarte menu editor and add it.
[02:10] <pushpop> where is source.list located?
[02:10] <taychouri-a> k im on linux
[02:10] <MatthewV> pushpop, /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:10] <bruenig> madman-, yeah you can add them via alacarte menu editor
[02:10] <madman-> bruenig: yes that one
[02:10] <madman-> looking
[02:10] <pushpop> thanks
[02:10] <taychouri-a> bruenig: im on linux now. wanna help me out.
[02:11] <pushpop> and how do I get the command "qmake" isntalled?
[02:11] <w30> bruenig, Gnome desktop although KDE has a menu editor too.
[02:11] <bruenig> taychouri-a, go to system>administration>Gnome partition editor
[02:11] <DaveyJ> i'm installing kde along side gnome.. how do i run kde on another screen?
[02:11] <bruenig> w30, I didn't know if he was using kde
[02:11] <bruenig> he may be using kmail in gnome
[02:11] <taychouri-a> bruenig: k yo. i got that up
[02:11] <bruenig> if he was using kde, seems like he would be in #kubuntu
[02:12] <bruenig> taychouri-a, how many partitions does it show?
[02:12] <madman-> bruenig: very nice , thank you
[02:12] <bruenig> np
[02:12] <taychouri-a> bruenig: 2, (Unallocated 7.5mb, and something elsee called ntfs 38gb
[02:12] <w30> bruenig, yeah gets confusing don't it. kubuntu, gunbuntu and kubuntu. oh well
[02:12] <dffd> is there a list of wifi cards that ubuntu supports?
[02:13] <Faithful> I can login with ftp-ssl ok and cwd but I cannot do ls it says "ftp: bind: Address already in use" now I know this is because it is bound to port 21 for security reasons but I don't seem to be able to get it to work
[02:13] <bruenig> taychouri-a, ok,  how big is your music collection as far as mb is concerned
[02:13] <duaneb> auuugh
[02:14] <taychouri-a> umm, well i think its at
[02:14] <taychouri-a> 15gb, so 15000mb?
[02:14] <bruenig> wow
[02:14] <duaneb> I keep getting this error: digest veification failed, /usr/protage/kbproto-1.0.2
[02:14] <taychouri-a> lol, i know
[02:14] <duaneb> reason: filesize issn't what it expected
[02:14] <duaneb> how can i fix this?
[02:14] <taychouri-a> i love music
[02:14] <taychouri-a> :)
[02:14] <foxjwill_> how do I make a windows ntfs partition writable? right now it's read-only
[02:14] <pushpop> Any Ubuntu's Users use MythTV ?
[02:15] <bruenig> ok, so right click on the ntfs one and click resize, make it 22 GB, 38-15= 23 -1 just to make sure = 22 GB
[02:15] <Ktron> #xorg is dead, damn-- I think its safe to assume that ubuntu cannot be run on my machine
[02:15] <Ktron> er, Xorg cannot be run on my machine
[02:15] <foxjwill_> any ideas
[02:15] <foxjwill_> ?
[02:15] <duaneb> anyone?
[02:15] <duaneb> I really need to use emerge
[02:16] <bruenig> foxjwill, there is some experiment ntfs writing on linux
[02:16] <bruenig> !ntfs
[02:16] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse
[02:16] <w30> DaveyJ,  i have done that but its been so long ago. It entails passing the display option of something like -display 0:1 instead of the default 0:0 to X
[02:16] <foxjwill_> thanks
[02:16] <bruenig> but I am not sure how reliable it is
[02:16] <DaveyJ> so technically i can run two different desktops on two different monitors?
[02:16] <foxjwill_> what do you mean by '!fuse"?
[02:16] <profoX`> foxjwill_: it's not advised.. but the best thing until now is ntfs-3g I think
[02:16] <foxjwill_> ok
[02:16] <bruenig> !fuse
[02:16] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[02:16] <taychouri-a> bruenig: It wont let me resize under 28gb
[02:17] <bruenig> taychouri-a, dang, that means more work
[02:17] <profoX`> foxjwill_: bruenig: that looks a bit out of date
[02:17] <bruenig> resize it to 28 gb
[02:17] <taychouri-a> k
[02:17] <taychouri-a> done
[02:17] <profoX`> foxjwill_: bruenig: there is ntfs-3g that is more reliable/fast, but it's also still alpha/beta
[02:17] <profoX`> I would NOT advise writing on NTFS yet
[02:17] <profoX`> unless in windows :)
[02:17] <foxjwill_> ok
[02:17] <bruenig> taychouri-a, open up a terminal, applications>accessories>terminal
[02:18] <foxjwill_> i guess i'll stick to copying the files
[02:18] <taychouri-a> k
[02:18] <foxjwill_> thanks though
[02:18] <profoX`> foxjwill_: you can READ from ntfs fine
[02:18] <profoX`> just write support isn't all that good yet
[02:18] <w30> DaveyJ, I had two GUI screens going with the ctl-alt-F8 F7 or whatever. I don't know about different monitors
[02:18] <bruenig> taychouri-a, sorry I skipped a few steps
[02:18] <foxjwill_> i know
[02:18] <profoX`> it should get better in a few months foxjwill_
[02:18] <taychouri-a> lol
[02:18] <taychouri-a> k
[02:18] <foxjwill_> profox: i know
[02:18] <DaveyJ> is it processor intensive?
[02:18] <foxjwill_> profox: i hope so
[02:18] <profoX`> foxjwill_: :) (blame microsoft!)
[02:18] <bruenig> taychouri-a, go back into gparted. And right click the extra space and hit new
[02:19] <izirku> shorewall question: I have 2 interfaces: eth0 - dynamic, net card, and eth1 -dynamic, wireless routed through a broadband router WRT54G, what my configuration should be setup like?
[02:19] <taychouri-a> the unallocated?
[02:19] <bruenig> no the new stuff that you just created out of the ntfs
[02:19] <bruenig> which is also unallocated. not the 7.5 mb, the 10 gb
[02:19] <taychouri-a> what new stuff, i have the same things, except ones 10 gb, and ones 27gb
[02:19] <foxjwill_> profox: Gates' mother was a hampster and his father smelt of elderberries
[02:20] <bruenig> right click on the 10 gb one
[02:20] <taychouri-a> kk
[02:20] <taychouri-a> i pressed new
[02:20] <bruenig> make it logical and make the file format fat32, I think they call it fat32
[02:20] <bruenig> if it doesn't say fat32 or there is a vfat option under filesystem, choose vfat
[02:20] <taychouri-a> it wont let me call it logical
[02:20] <profoX`> foxjwill_: what? ._.
[02:20] <profoX`> lol
[02:20] <wikijeff> Any idea why my touchpad isn't showing up in /proc/bus/input/devices??? My touchpad stopped working suddenly and I think that's the problem.
[02:21] <profoX`> taychouri-a: logical / extended / ...?
[02:21] <bruenig> taychouri-a, ok, well, you are going to get rid of that ntfs partition eventually right?
[02:21] <taychouri-a> yeah
[02:21] <taychouri-a> cuz
[02:21] <bruenig> ok call it primary
[02:21] <taychouri-a> k i added i
[02:21] <bruenig> it is formatted at fat32?
[02:21] <bruenig> or vfat or whatever
[02:21] <taychouri-a> yeah
[02:21] <bruenig> ok
[02:21] <taychouri-a> fat32
[02:22] <foxjwill_> profox: haven't you seen the Holy Grail?
[02:22] <bruenig> what is the name of the 10 gb and 27 gb partitions. SHould be something like /dev/something
[02:22] <francais> salut
[02:23] <taychouri-a> the 27gb is /dev/hdc1, and the 10gb is New Partition #1
[02:23] <profoX`> foxjwill_: no..
[02:23] <francais> hi
[02:23] <bruenig> it doesn't have another name except new partition one?
[02:23] <bruenig> taychouri-a, ok yeah hit apply
[02:23] <taychouri-a> no
[02:23] <taychouri-a> k its doin it
[02:23] <bruenig> it is up at the top of the gui
[02:23] <francais> how are you going
[02:23] <Jbirk> I need shorewall configureation help
[02:23] <Jbirk> any shorewall experts?
[02:24] <bruenig> once it applies it should give it a name, tell me that when it does
[02:24] <taychouri-a> k
[02:24] <taychouri-a> they are btoh
[02:24] <annarave> just wanted to say thanks to the folks who helped me earlier today on my partitioning.
[02:24] <SillyZ> evening, could someone send me a plain jane default smb.conf from with ubuntu instllation or a kubuntu install?
[02:24] <taychouri-a> (/dev/hdc1
[02:24] <taychouri-a> but
[02:24] <francais> hi
[02:24] <annarave> hi everyone
[02:24] <taychouri-a> one is 38gb, and one is 7 mb, and the 38gb is unknown type
[02:24] <foxjwill_> profox: Monty Python and the Holy Grail?
[02:25] <bruenig> taychouri-a, it didn't create a 28 gb and 10 gb?
[02:25] <taychouri-a> nope
[02:25] <profoX`> foxjwill_: no i havent seen it.. it's an old movie.. i've seen alot of monty sketches but not that movie
[02:26] <bruenig> ok tray to partition it again. Keep the ntfs partition a little bigger. It might not like such a drastic resize
[02:26] <bruenig> try*
[02:26] <james_xxx> does anyone in here use a linksys wusb54g wireless adapter? OR a wusb54gs? i have both..
[02:26] <taychouri-a> yeah
[02:26] <bruenig> do all the same stuff. make ntfs 30 and new fat32 8 gb
[02:26] <taychouri-a> i think i jsut fucked up my frives
[02:26] <taychouri-a> drives
[02:26] <taychouri-a> cuz
[02:26] <taychouri-a> it wont let me make a new one
[02:26] <foxjwill_> profox: you have to see it
[02:27] <bruenig> right click on the ntfs and hit resize
[02:27] <taychouri-a> or resize
[02:27] <taychouri-a> its messe dup man
[02:27] <bruenig> well hit reload
[02:27] <annarave> nomego was really helpful earlier. thanks.
[02:27] <taychouri-a> i did
[02:27] <Don_jr> I'm back and having trouble with installing Ubuntu
[02:27] <annarave> Don_jr: what problem are you having?
[02:27] <bruenig> all of your data is still there
[02:27] <bruenig> try closing and reopening it
[02:28] <profoX`> foxjwill_: well .. ok .. if i see it in the videostore i'll buy it ;p
[02:28] <Don_jr> I clicked on the install button while in live CD mode, window popped up saying 'install' in the header, window is blank other than that and the disk has stopped responding.
[02:28] <taychouri-a> kk brue
[02:28] <taychouri-a> listen to what i did
[02:28] <taychouri-a> i fixed it
[02:28] <taychouri-a> but
[02:28] <taychouri-a> listen
[02:28] <taychouri-a> my ntfs
[02:28] <taychouri-a> is now 21gb
[02:28] <bruenig> !enter
[02:28] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[02:28] <Corporal_Dirge> Hello, anyone have experience with pw protected rar files in Ubuntu?
[02:29] <Fearo> I have a problem with my Apache. My www is /home/user/dev/www and each time i add a new file, i need to set the CHMOD back. Is there a way to auto set all  chmod to 755?
[02:29] <SillyZ> can someone send a default smb.conf from a kubuntu or ubuntu installation, I need one to compare it to the xfce installation
[02:29] <wikijeff> Any idea why my touchpad isn't showing up in /proc/bus/input/devices??? My touchpad stopped working suddenly and I think that's the problem.
[02:29] <bruenig> get to the point where you have two partitions, they are both named. One is ntfs and one is fat32. Tell me the name.
[02:29] <annarave> ah. well, good luck on it. i've gotta run my son to a school dinner now. good luck. ciao
[02:29] <Don_jr> ubuntu needs fat32 to install or ntfs?
[02:30] <bruenig> sillyZ where is the smb.conf file
[02:30] <Madpilot> Don_jr, neither. Default format is ext3
[02:30] <c0nfidencal> ext3, reiserfs...
[02:30] <bruenig> taychouri-a, are you still there
[02:30] <Don_jr> So if I"m trying on a fat32 system that will cause a problem?
[02:30] <Don_jr> maybe that why it locked up on me?
[02:31] <taychouri-a> K listen to what i have,  NTFS - 21.65 gb (/dev/hdc1) FAT32- 16.63gb (/dev/hdc3) fat32- 7.84mb (/dev/hdc2)
[02:31] <Fearo> Can someone help me? Each time I add a new file in my /home/user/dev/www folder, i need to chmod it. Is there a way to auto-chmod it?
[02:31] <bruenig> taychouri-a, that is good
[02:31] <taychouri-a> k, i already hit apply
[02:31] <bruenig> taychouri-a, open up that terminal
[02:31] <Corporal_Dirge> Does anyone know how to put a pw in for a rar file?
[02:31] <SillyZ> bruenig, usually in /etc
[02:31] <taychouri-a> kk its open
[02:32] <neuroe> hiya
[02:32] <PMantis> Is vmware-workstation broken in Dapper with the latest kernel?
[02:32] <bruenig> do the following commands "mkdir hdc1" "mkdir hdc3"
[02:32] <tehsu> How do I get native resolution
[02:32] <izirku> shorewall question: I have 2 interfaces: eth0 - dynamic, net card, and eth1 -dynamic, wireless routed through a broadband router WRT54G, what my configuration should be setup like?
[02:32] <tehsu> I set it fine, but the screen doesnt want to change
[02:32] <Madpilot> Don_jr, if you're installing Ubuntu, it will want to reformat a partition to ext3 (at least one partition)
[02:32] <taychouri-a> k i entered them
[02:32] <SillyZ> bruenig, sorry went to go grab a cup of coffee, Im just trying to prove theory here, cuz smb networking is fine under ubuntu and kubuntu, but the smb.conf in xubuntu either dosent exist or is there but blank
[02:33] <neuroe> smb3 is sweet
[02:33] <bruenig> sillyz, i don't see a smb.conf under /etc
[02:33] <SillyZ> try /etc/smb
[02:33] <bruenig> taychouri-a ok. do "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hdc1 ~/hdc1"
[02:33] <abaddon> okay I have a question regarding instlalling using usb.  I followed the directions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick and it still doesn't boot.  I get to a point and it says boot: linux not found or something to that extent
[02:33] <bruenig> ls | grep smb gives nothing
[02:34] <abaddon> can anyone help me?
[02:34] <bruenig> that while in /etc
[02:34] <Don_jr> Okay, why would it freeze up on me? any clue?
[02:34] <bruenig> I did locate smb.conf but that is under a samba directory is that what you want
[02:34] <SillyZ> bruenig, sorry its /etc/samba/smb.conk
[02:34] <SillyZ> err conf
[02:34] <neuroe> did yo use a nes emulator?
[02:34] <taychouri-a> bruenig: When i put ~hdc1, it said it didnt exist, i took out the ~ and it worked, but it didnt say it did anything, the cd drive made a sound and thats it
[02:35] <SillyZ> thanks bruenig
[02:35] <bruenig> taychouri-a, now do "sudo mount -t vfat, it should have been ~/hdc1 not ~hdc1
[02:35] <bruenig> taychouri-a, it should have been ~/hdc1 not ~hdc1
[02:35] <bruenig> sorry I was getting ready for the next command
[02:36] <jjazz> Hi, I'm trying to umount a dvd, but keep getting told /media/cdrom0: device is busy.  I can't figure out what is keeping it busy.  How can I umount it?  Thanks.
[02:36] <viator_> im trying to build  qemu fromt i have source its complaing  that i have gcc 4X and  it wants 3X
[02:36] <bruenig> taychouri-a, but it doesn't matter the other command works too but only because you are in the directory that you are in
[02:36] <bruenig> so don't worry about it
[02:36] <viator_> whats the proper package name to install it?
[02:36] <taychouri-a> kk i entered the next thing
[02:36] <Ranbee> can someone tell me the name of the program which show how HDD space in pictures, please?
[02:36] <foxjwill_> jjazz: is that your dvd drive?
[02:36] <bruenig> taychouri-a, now do "sudo mount -t vfat /dev/hdc3 hdc3"
[02:36] <jjazz> foxjwill_: yes
[02:37] <taychouri-a> k
[02:37] <SillyZ> bruenig, now lets see if theory works
[02:37] <viator_> whats the name of the package to install gcc 3x ?
[02:38] <tehsu> I have an X700 and the native resolution is a 1680x1050 but it wont set to that any ideas?
[02:38] <bruenig> taychouri-a, ok now go up to the menu again and go to places>home folder, there should be two directories in there called hdc1 and hdc3
[02:38] <taychouri-a> yeah
[02:38] <taychouri-a> therse 2
[02:38] <foxjwill_> jjazz: well then. I'm not completely sure. sorry.
[02:38] <bruenig> taychouri-a, the hdc1 has your ntfs, the hdc3 has your fat32, open the ntfs and find your music and copy and paste it into the hdc3 or fat32
[02:39] <abaddon> sorry to just barge in with a question but I need help, okay I have a question regarding installing using usb.  I followed the directions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick and I cannot get ubuntu to boot.  I get to a point and it says boot: linux not found or something to that extent; can anyone help me?  I cannot install from live cd because I do not have cd drive
[02:39] <jjazz> foxjwill_: Ok, thanks
[02:39] <taychouri-a> It says " You don't have permission necessary to view the contents of HDC1
[02:39] <jake1> errrrrrrrrr
[02:39] <jake1> this is frustrating
[02:39] <viator_> it wont allow that resolution under system>prefrences>screen resolution?
[02:40] <jake1> so much documentation but none address my problem
[02:40] <Don_jr> okay, ubuntu sticks when I'm trying to install....any ideas as to what I can do to troublshoot this problem?
[02:40] <bruenig> taychouri-a, that is bothersome, go back into the terminal and do gksudo nautilus
[02:40] <bruenig> then within that window do the copying and pasting
[02:41] <taychouri-a> it now says
[02:42] <taychouri-a> in the terminal " why connection to session manager: Authentication Rejected, reason : Non of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed."
[02:42] <bruenig> yeah but did the window pop up?
[02:42] <Don_jr> should I try and install from safe graphics mode? or normal install?
[02:43] <bruenig> that is a bug. It doesn't mean anything
[02:43] <taychouri-a> yeah it popped out
[02:43] <taychouri-a> its in root
[02:43] <bruenig> ok, click file system on the left. then go to home. then  ubuntu, your stuff should be in there
[02:44] <bruenig> once in there go into the ntfs stuff find your music directory. Copy it and then go back and then into your fat32 and paste it
[02:44] <grout58> how can i format a drive from the command line
[02:44] <taychouri-a> i go into hdc1
[02:44] <taychouri-a> and it says 0 items
[02:44] <abaddon> sorry to just barge in with a question but I need help, okay I have a question regarding installing using usb.  I followed the directions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick and I cannot get ubuntu to boot.

I cannot install from live cd because I do not have cd drive have not found anything usefull on the forums.
[02:45] <taychouri-a> and thers a lock sign on hdc1
[02:45] <bruenig> taychouri-a, when you miraculously resized it before to 21, you never deleted it right. You only resized right?
[02:45] <taychouri-a> yupp
[02:45] <taychouri-a> i never pressed delete
[02:46] <bruenig> so you go into hdc1, and there is nothing in that directory?
[02:46] <taychouri-a> nothin man
[02:46] <taychouri-a> i was 27gb out of 38
[02:46] <taychouri-a> is that why is only let me make 10 gb that time?
[02:46] <bruenig> it should not resize it below how much diskspace was used in it
[02:47] <taychouri-a> yeah, well i forced it to, cuz you told me
[02:47] <Don_jr> Okay, if I run ubuntu live CD mode, will the CD ever slow down while it's running that way if I don't touch it?
[02:47] <taychouri-a> lol
[02:47] <bruenig> not true
[02:47] <Tonren> Hey guys, how do I share files between two Ubuntu machines using "NFS"?
[02:47] <bruenig> ok taychouri-a, go back into the terminal and type "cd hdc1"
[02:47] <bruenig> then type ls
[02:47] <bruenig> "ls"
[02:48] <bruenig> tell me what the output is.
[02:48] <taychouri-a> Permission Denied
[02:48] <bruenig> sudo cd hdc1
[02:48] <bruenig> then ls
[02:48] <taychouri-a> cd command not found
[02:48] <Don_jr> lib/firmware/mrv8k-b.fw error loading for device /class/firmware/00000:02:00.0' with driver mrv8k
[02:48] <bruenig> cd command not found?
[02:49] <taychouri-a> yea
[02:49] <bruenig> how is that possible. Do cd /
[02:49] <taychouri-a> that worked
[02:49] <bruenig> lol
[02:49] <taychouri-a> sith
[02:49] <taychouri-a> sigh
[02:49] <bruenig> the command appears to be found now
[02:49] <taychouri-a> why do i have such bad luck
[02:49] <bruenig> ok do "cd"
[02:49] <Don_jr> anyone tell me what that error means?
[02:49] <bruenig> then do ls, tell me the output
[02:50] <taychouri-a> i got lots of blue words
[02:50] <bruenig> those words being
[02:50] <bruenig> was hdc1 and hdc3 amongst them?
[02:50] <Tonren> Guys, does the Share Folders GUI actually work??
[02:50] <taychouri-a> nope
[02:50] <taychouri-a> i got
[02:51] <taychouri-a> bin cdrom etc initrd lib mnt proc root srv tmp var boot dev home initrd.img media opt rofs sbin sys usr vmlinux
[02:51] <bruenig> you didn't get opt home etc boot usr, etc did you?
[02:51] <taychouri-a> linuz
[02:51] <bruenig> taychouri-a, do "cd"
[02:51] <bruenig> you must do cd first to get to the right directory
[02:51] <bruenig> then do ls
[02:51] <taychouri-a> k
[02:51] <Don_jr> Damn, I cannot get this to install....
[02:51] <andax> Tonren, install "nfs-kernel-server" package, then have a look at /etc/exports (this file contains what and how you share) , then use "mount ipaddress:/shared/folder " on the other box to mount the exported folders
[02:51] <bruenig> !alternate
[02:51] <ubotu> The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-installation CD, with no live session. Use this if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an expert install.
[02:51] <taychouri-a> now i get
[02:51] <bruenig> try that don
[02:52] <taychouri-a> desktop hdc1 hdc3
[02:52] <bruenig> that is how it should be
[02:52] <Corporal_Dirge> Anyone know how to extract pw protected rar files?
[02:52] <bruenig> ok do cd hdc1
[02:52] <taychouri-a> permission denies
[02:52] <Tonren> andax: Should I not bother with the GUI?
[02:52] <Don_jr> I'm no expert and wouldn't know the commands to use in a text based installation if I had it....lol
[02:52] <mistraal> anyone know how to change the default home directory for suexec on Apache2?
[02:52] <andax> Tonren, sorry I can't help you with the gui
[02:53] <Tonren> andax: It's OK< I prefer doing things CLI anyway
[02:53] <taychouri-a> it lets me go to hdc3 but not hdc1
[02:54] <bruenig> taychouri-a, see if this works. "chown -R ubuntu hdc1"
[02:54] <bruenig> add sudo in front of that
[02:54] <bruenig> sudo chown -R ubuntu hdc1
[02:54] <taychouri-a> Chaangiing ownership of 'HDC1'
[02:54] <bruenig> after that do cd hdc1
[02:55] <Don_jr> okay, totally wiped and formatted HD I'm trying to install on from teh ubuntu live CD download.  Should I wait till it is completely done loading the live CD session efore I run the install?
[02:55] <taychouri-a> still permistion denied
[02:55] <bruenig> don_jr, yeah, double click the desktop icon once it does
[02:55] <falkon> I just read through the FAQ pages, and I didn't see the answer I need.  Can you use the unofficial debian repositories [www.debian-multimedia.org]  with ubuntu?
[02:55] <taychouri-a> oh
[02:55] <taychouri-a> after the change
[02:55] <taychouri-a> ion owner ship
[02:55] <taychouri-a> it says
[02:55] <argument> anyone know how i can get 4front oss to work with esd?
[02:55] <taychouri-a> read only
[02:56] <bruenig> but you can go in it?
[02:56] <taychouri-a> no
[02:56] <taychouri-a> it denies permsion
[02:56] <bruenig> one last shot here "sudo chmod 77 -R hdc1"
[02:56] <bruenig> sudo chmod 777 -R hdc1
[02:56] <Tonren> andax: How could I tell hosts.allow to only allow a specific user on a specific hostname on the local network?
[02:57] <taychouri-a> changing permissions of hdc1: read only file system
[02:57] <riddlebox> do I need python-pythoncard?
[02:57] <frioloco> anyone know of a tutorial for dvd->xvid in ubuntu?
[02:57] <bruenig> can you cd into it now
[02:57] <taychouri-a> nnope
[02:57] <Don_jr> Okay, how will I know when the live CD is done with it's setup?  Will the disk quiet down a bit?
[02:57] <taychouri-a> my files are gone arent they
[02:57] <taychouri-a> sigh
[02:58] <bruenig> you can still do it. But you can only move over the files after install. Which might actually be easier
[02:58] <taychouri-a> isnt there a way
[02:58] <taychouri-a> to take it off my ipod
[02:58] <bruenig> taychouri-a yeah
[02:58] <bruenig> do you have them on your ipod
[02:58] <janbanan> Does anyone know if there is a guide on how to make a program "bar" that look like the one on the bottom of this picture? http://www.gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=26448&file1=26448-1.jpg&file2=&file3=&name=nuoveXT
[02:58] <taychouri-a> yes
[02:58] <taychouri-a> lol
[02:58] <bruenig> wtf
[02:58] <duaneb> eeeugh
[02:59] <viator_> ERROR: QEMU requires SDL or Cocoa for graphical output
[02:59] <viator_> To build QEMU without graphical output configure with --disable-gfx-check
[02:59] <viator_> Note that this will disable all output from the virtual graphics card.
[02:59] <Don_jr> if Ubuntu will not load, is there another decent version of *nix system I can try out?
[02:59] <duaneb> emerge needs a progress bar or something
[02:59] <viator_> whoops
[02:59] <viator_> i know pastebin
[02:59] <Corporal_Dirge> Anyone know how to extract pw protected rar files?
[02:59] <taychouri-a> Corporal_Dirge:  Why are files passworded?
[02:59] <viator_> anyone know what sdl package to install to get rid of that error?
[03:00] <bruenig> ok, restart your computer. When it boots up double click the install button, Wipe the whole drive and install. If you need help moving the music off the ipod afterwards. Come in here I guarantee you somebody can help you there as popular as that stuff is
[03:00] <Tonren> Hey, what channel would I head to if I wanted to ask some general questions about networking, network permissions, etc. on GNU servers?
[03:00] <taychouri-a> kk
[03:00] <taychouri-a> man thanks
[03:00] <taychouri-a> so i gotta delete the apritions
[03:00] <taychouri-a> and shti
[03:00] <taychouri-a> kk
[03:00] <Corporal_Dirge> taychouri-a, I archived it, but I can't remember the pw.. But I'm more interested in how to use Linux to open it
[03:00] <mneptok> janbanan: use E's Engage app, or adesklets or gdesklets
[03:00] <bruenig> taychouri-a, it will do it in the install
[03:01] <bruenig> you can delete them if you want with gparted but it doesn't really matter because it will do it in the install
[03:01] <andax> Corporal_Dirge, go to www.rarsoft.com , download the linux console version, tar -xzvf rar-xxx.tgz, make install, then you'll have the 'unrar' command. When extracting pw protected files (unrar x whatever.rar) it will ask for the password.
[03:01] <taychouri-a> Corporal_Dirge: Oh ok! :) I thought you were trying to open something that wasn't yours  :P
[03:01] <janbanan> mneptok: thanks mate
[03:01] <viator_> !kqemu
[03:01] <ubotu> kqemu is non-free kernel module for speeding up the !QEMU virtual machine. Installation instructions can be found at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/KQEmu - see also !qvm86
[03:01] <taychouri-a> well brb! Ic ant wait for this!
[03:01] <slid3r> any one know the quick and dirty wayo to handle the totem error :: No URI handler implemented for "mms".
[03:01] <Tonren> Is there a way to give NFS permissions ONLY to a specific COMPUTER - not IP address?
[03:01] <Corporal_Dirge> andax, ok, thanks. I have the rar plugin for Archive manager, but the pw field was always grey and didn't allow pw entry,.
[03:02] <fyyrest0rm> how can i use adept to browse categories (games, internet, etc)?
[03:02] <andax> Corporal_Dirge, i guess you'll have to use the console version :(
[03:02] <fyyrest0rm> or is it even possible?
[03:02] <Corporal_Dirge> adax, so just unrar <pw> file?
[03:02] <tapio_> How come ubuntu doesn't have software mixing by default?
[03:02] <andax> Corporal_Dirge, unrar x something.rar , and it will ask for the password
[03:03] <Corporal_Dirge> adax, What's the x for?
[03:03] <andax> Corporal_Dirge, eXtract :)
[03:03] <pluma> Is there a way to resize a mounted partition?
[03:03] <Corporal_Dirge> adax, it's not -x? I'll try it now.
[03:03] <w30> janbanan, the bar is standard gnome configured in the panel prefs menu. the icons will have to ge gotten from gmom-look,org or wherever....
[03:03] <jake1> these documentations are useless.....
[03:04] <skarface> how do I override icons that were changed by a theme, specifically those for applciations on the gnome panel?
[03:04] <jake1> anyone have any idea why only part of my screen works when i am trying to install Ubuntu.... this makes it impossible to install ubuntu since i can't see what i am doing...... any help would be appreciated
[03:04] <andax> Corporal_Dirge, type it exactly like this: "unrar x something,rar" then give the correct password, and it will unrar the archive with full paths stored
[03:04] <jake1> http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d100/num1nm4c/Laptop.jpg
[03:04] <w30> janbanan, using options like hide handles, center color choices etc. You can play all day :=)
[03:04] <jake1> that is a photo of what i am talking about
[03:05] <tehsu> What is wrong if the resolution wont set correctly?
[03:05] <janbanan> w30: Do you know if there are any tips & tricks page?
[03:05] <falkon> screw it, debian time
[03:07] <w30> no, but I got a bar configured like that by playing half a day and using icon sets downloaded from gnome-look.org. I think the icons were called believe it or not osx
[03:07] <pluma> Anyone?
[03:08] <ISOLATEDViRuS> ok, when my screensaver turns on, or I try to change which screensaver I want to use, my system freezes up on me and I have to force a shutdown and reboot.
[03:08] <TLE_02> I'm looking for a command to cut a piece out of an audiofile with, any suggestions ?
[03:08] <andax> jake1, i am not sure but as no one else is answering... try passing a "vga=771" parameter to the kernel while booting the installer, but that's just a guess. (that's how I installed it on my laptop)
[03:08] <taychouri-1> Can someone help me with partitions?
[03:09] <jake1> how would i do that andax?
[03:09] <dasteve2> Does anyone have experience setting up widescreen displays to display native resolution in X?
[03:10] <bitblit> hi all; i'm trying to use gconf-editor, but when i make changes they dont persist. specifiaclly, i am trying to add the 'water' plugin to compiz :)
[03:10] <w30> janbanan, I recomend that you create a new user account and play with it in case you want to go back to something standard and can't get there. Ha! been there,etc.
[03:10] <taychouri-1> How can i make 2 partitions come together
[03:10] <dasteve2> delete one and extend the other
[03:11] <VOYAGER> without loosing data ?
[03:11] <wweasel> I am experiencing a very ood problem right now. I just plugged in my iRiver, but it seems that Gnome's panels and such have crashed. Rhythmbox launched and stopped working. Everything seemed dead, but I launched a terminal using a keyboard shortcut and launched x-chat. help?
[03:11] <taychouri-1> no i wanna install ubuntu
[03:11] <taychouri-1> but
[03:11] <taychouri-1> one sec
[03:11] <w30> taychouri-1, have you got stuff on them that you want to keep?
[03:11] <mike_> hi hi
[03:11] <taychouri-1> i cant get it off
[03:11] <taychouri-1> cuz i want my msuic
[03:11] <taychouri-1> but
[03:12] <janbanan> w30: Ok. thanks. I've done it once on breezy but can't remember how I did it. there was a guide on the forum but I cant find it
[03:12] <taychouri-1> i am gunna take my msuic off my ipod?
[03:12] <taychouri-1> isnt that better?
[03:12] <viator_> !sdl
[03:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sdl - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:12] <taychouri-1> I just want 1 partition
[03:13] <andax> jake1, i can't remember exactly but when the install CD boots up, and the first screen appears (when you choose to install , safe graphic mode etc) try pressing keys from F1 to F8 , and additional install options will be displayed.
[03:13] <dasteve2> as far as i know there is no way of joining partitions that doesnt lose data, you should back up the data of one partition, delete it, and extend the other, using a bootable cd with a partition manager
[03:13] <taychouri-1> how can i add the un allocated tot he ntfs
[03:13] <jake1> oh ok
[03:13] <jake1> i will try that
[03:13] <dasteve2> im having trouble getting a 1680x1050 display to run native resolution, anyone have ideas?
[03:13] <jake1> thanx
[03:14] <taychouri-1> there i got it
[03:14] <mike_> can anyone who is really good with ubuntu look at this for me please ???
[03:14] <mike_> http://pastebin.ca/146994
[03:14] <Dravas> !nvidia
[03:14] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:14] <Dravas> <3 ubotu
[03:15] <cdubya> can you change the boot splash screen to something else other than the ubuntu/kubuntu/xubuntu verbose?
[03:15] <dasteve2> the drivers are installed correctly
[03:15] <w30> taychouri-1, if you want to keep files that are on both partitions then you will want to back up the files and copy them or at least one set of the files on the partition that you delete.
[03:15] <bbrazil> cdubya: yes, check the usplash docs
[03:15] <jake1> i was just kinda scoping out the possibility of installing Fedora Core on my laptop, but i'm not sure whether to check x86_64 or if i should select i386
[03:16] <jake1> it's an AMD Turion 64-bit ML 32
[03:16] <knoppix_> keep it real
[03:16] <cdubya> bbrazil, not usplash
[03:16] <tehsu> If I install ati driver using the run file, what else do i need to do besides running the installer
[03:17] <Corporal_Dirge> adax, ok, I foud out why it was passwording me.. file is partially corrupt.. CLI has a repair mode that got most of it back =)
[03:17] <NewtoUbuntu> Hey does any1 know if it is possible to get a wireless keyboard that is specifically designed for Windows xp to work on Linux even though it is not on the keyboards list?
[03:17] <jake1> i'm gonna try to install this one more time
[03:17] <jake1> see what happens
[03:17] <jake1> bbiab
[03:17] <Corporal_Dirge> NewtoUbuntu, Usually it'll work with the exception of the extra keys.
[03:17] <SoCal> I don't like wireless....batteries die too fast for me
[03:18] <SoCal> lol
[03:18] <NewtoUbuntu> ok thanks ill give it a try.. so i just plug it in correct?
[03:18] <w30> jake1, I use x86_64 on a desktop and it is faster with x86_64 but a few things llike shockwave flash and wmv playing is missing on the 64bit distro because of foot draging from people like Swhockwave Microsoft 64 bit and RealPlay10
[03:18] <Corporal_Dirge> NewtoUbuntu, Yup,.
[03:18] <VOYAGER> mike_, if you log on as sudo you should be able to change to infastructure
[03:18] <ielliott> Has there been any concerns with doing Ubuntu in MS Virtual PC?
[03:18] <dasteve2> im having trouble getting a 1680x1050 display to run native resolution, anyone have ideas? ive been googling for a long time, no luck yet
[03:19] <NewtoUbuntu> kk well ill try thank u much corporal_dirge
[03:19] <bitblit> i'm following instructions for using gconf-editor, but it does not save changes that I make... any ideas?
[03:19] <james_xxx> ?
[03:19] <Don_jr> Okay, live CD is running and starting to set up
[03:19] <mike_> VOYAGER: ehm.... what would I type at command line?
[03:19] <SoCal> I only configured mine for 1024x768
[03:19] <VOYAGER> dasteve2,  try reducing the color to 24 and try to get your rez then
[03:19] <Don_jr> and the computer just shut it's self off.......
[03:19] <Don_jr> what the hell?
[03:20] <SoCal> hmm
[03:20] <SoCal> dunno
[03:20] <NemesisUK> Don_jr, is the computer having temp. probs?
[03:20] <Don_jr> got to "loading hardware" and poof, went off
[03:20] <Don_jr> do'nt think so, not sure
[03:20] <VOYAGER> mike_, i just log in as sudo and use the gui setup sorry no cli here
[03:20] <SoCal> I'm using xchat in a liveCD version of Knoppix....pretty nice, but I really like Ubuntu....very easy setup
[03:20] <Madpilot> Don_jr, is this a CD you burned yourself, or a ShipIt one?
[03:20] <Don_jr> ISO I burnt
[03:21] <NemesisUK> check the disk
[03:21] <Don_jr> okay
[03:21] <Madpilot> Don_jr, did you run md5sum on the ISO before you burned it?
[03:21] <andax> kyja, who cares? turn that script off please.. thank you
[03:21] <SoCal> Don_jr, what speed did you burn the disk at?
[03:21] <FearMoth> is there any program that I can use to cut clips out of a dvd or quicktime video and save them as mpeg, avi or .mov ?
[03:21] <Don_jr> no, don't know what that is and I burnt it in windows
[03:21] <Don_jr> 12X speed
[03:21] <SoCal> that should be ok
[03:21] <pluma> Hah. Catch 22. I can't copy my MP3 collection over to my Linux box because I don't have enough free space and I can't simply add another harddisk because I would need to buy a new controller, for which I currently lack the money. In order to earn money, I would need to get some coding done, for which I need more RAM, which I can't buy because I don't have enough money.
[03:21] <justin_> Why in "software properties" does Ubuntu have so many identical choices? I have like "ubuntu 6.06 LTS" securirty like 3 times etc? - are they mirrors, or does everyone actually have new stuff?
[03:22] <VOYAGER> Don_jr,  try burning at 8x
[03:22] <SoCal> ya...maybe what someone else said...check the checksum
[03:22] <pluma> Well, actually only the last bit qualifies, but I can't code without music anyway.
[03:22] <SoCal> maybe corrupt file
[03:22] <VOYAGER> but yes check md5
[03:22] <w30> Don_jr, google for md5sum for windows
[03:22] <Don_jr> okay, how do I check the checksum from windows?
[03:22] <Don_jr> okay
[03:22] <Don_jr> md5sum
[03:22] <VOYAGER> md5summer
[03:23] <Don_jr> whole word?
[03:23] <rummik> something like that
[03:23] <Don_jr> md5summer
[03:23] <w30> Don_jr, I bellieve it is md5sum.exe?
[03:23] <SoCal> has anyone watched the hak.5 videos?
[03:23] <rummik> i bet that hurt them more than it did us :P
[03:23] <SoCal> lots of stuff
[03:24] <bimberi> !netsplit
[03:24] <ubotu> netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit
[03:24] <ielliott> Has there been any concerns with doing Ubuntu in MS Virtual PC?
[03:24] <EpP> i have 2 linux computers one is a laptop that gets wireless and the other is a desktop that i want to get internet from the laptop... how do i do this?
[03:24] <ielliott> i ran the desktop install, and when it loads the graphic is fine, and the command line is fine, but when i get to the login screen its all screwy
[03:24] <ielliott> and i only set it for 1024x768, 800x600 and 640x480 nothing fancy
[03:24] <VOYAGER> http://www.md5summer.org/
[03:24] <Don_jr> I've found a site that has it
[03:24] <w30> Don_jr, but Bill don't furnish it. You will have get download the execute binary and install it to run it.
[03:24] <rummik> ty ubotu
[03:24] <Don_jr> I run that file and direct the program to the .ISO file?
[03:24] <NemesisUK> Don_jr, yes
[03:25] <Don_jr> ok
[03:25] <VOYAGER> dload the md5 hash from the dload site
[03:25] <pluma> Also, what's with the 700-odd MB RAM Ubuntu seems to be using only to power Gnome, XChat, Firefox, Kopete, Thunderbird and a few services? Is Firefox collecting dead weight again or what?
[03:25] <Don_jr> the install made it past the loading hardware this time....
[03:25] <w30> Don_jr, yeah, md5sum xxx.iso
[03:25] <EpP> how do i do internet sharing in ubuntu
[03:25] <andax> EpP, apt-get install ipmasq on the laptop, and "route add default gw laptop" on the desktop (check the ipmasq man page for detailed info)
[03:25] <justin_> Why in "software properties" does Ubuntu have so many identical choices? I have like "ubuntu 6.06 LTS" securirty like 3 times etc? - are they mirrors, or does everyone actually have new stuff?
[03:25] <Don_jr> okay downloading now
[03:26] <Don_jr> then, if no errors, try burning at a slower speed?
[03:26] <VOYAGER> Don_jr,  kool
[03:26] <VOYAGER> yes
[03:26] <SoCal> i would try a slower speed
[03:26] <w30> Don_jr, yeah Whatsisname VOYAGER says and compare numbers
[03:26] <Don_jr> it's loading at the moment on the laptop, hasn't locked up again yet
[03:26] <tnzr> I wonder if the polite thing to do is always the right thing to do.  When I met the family from Japan, they all bowed.  I pretended like I was going to bow, but then I just kept going and flipped over on my back.  I did this five times.  I think they got the point.
[03:26] <SoCal> 8x or 4x
[03:26] <Don_jr> compare numbers to what?
[03:26] <dalila> tried 2 ps/2 mice and they dont work , i just bought a brand new hp/ps2 model M871 and it wont work  how can i reconfigure just the mouse to get it to work
[03:26] <Whatsisname> what?
[03:27] <dalila> cat /proc/interupts does not show it
[03:27] <w30> Don_jr, there is a text file at the sight of your iso that has the md5sum numbers in it that the md5sum.exe output generates
[03:28] <MrParanoia> why is /etc/rc.local disabled by default?
[03:28] <andax> dalila, ps2 mice may need a reboot to become working (don't know why)
[03:28] <dalila> i did reboot
[03:28] <BOBSONATOR> Sweet, first time in irc,
[03:28] <ironyCurtain> Hi all.  I cannot for the life of me get my wireless to work on my laptop.  It is Intel Pro 2200 Wireless (Centrino), and it uses the ipw2200 driver.  It is detected on eth1, and it can see wireless networks in my area, but when I try to connect to my wireless network through Network Settings it says it is disconnected.  I installed wifi-radar, and I made more progress with it.  It actually sends packets but is repeatedly connecting a
[03:28] <pluma> Is 256 MB RAM enough for WinXP to run only WiMP and BitTorrent or will I regret that?
[03:28] <w30> Don_jr, an incorrectly downloaded file will generate different md5sums
[03:29] <tnzr> ironyCurtain: is wpa_supplicant installed?
[03:29] <pluma> Hm... I'll better leave it 512 MB. Just for good measure.
[03:29] <BOBSONATOR> Irony curtain, click the icon, then hit the drop down box, and then hit the thing
[03:29] <BOBSONATOR> hit your network
[03:29] <dalila> dmesg does now show it either
[03:29] <hou5ton> ok ... i have video playing on CNN and YouTube ... but it won't play at all on MSNBC and only the sound plays on FoxNews.
[03:30] <ironyCurtain> tnzr: no, i use WEP
[03:30] <BOBSONATOR> because its a wmv
[03:30] <Don_jr> so if I run it twice it will be different each time if there's errors?
[03:30] <tnzr> ironyCurtain: iwconfig eth1 essid <your essid> channel <your channel>
[03:30] <hou5ton> BOBSONATOR:  is it also wmv on Fox?
[03:30] <tnzr> ironyCurtain: then ifup eth1
[03:30] <BOBSONATOR> i think so
[03:30] <mike_> someone told me to login as sudo
[03:30] <mike_> how do I do this????
[03:30] <BOBSONATOR> su
[03:30] <Jbirk> what is Ubuntu max color depth?
[03:30] <profoX> mike_: you don't
[03:30] <profoX> mike_: you type: sudo command
[03:30] <mike_> profoX: then why were tehy telling me this!?
[03:30] <evan_> how do i do internet sharing in ubuntu
[03:31] <mike_> profoX: they SPECIFICALLY SAID login as sudo
[03:31] <profoX> mike_: sudo means: execute this command as root
[03:31] <mike_> makes no sense
[03:31] <BOBSONATOR> su, then password, then you are root.
[03:31] <profoX> mike_: they said wrong.
[03:31] <w30> Don_jr, like files will generate like md5sums when you run md5sum and read the output
[03:31] <profoX> mike_: you can only login as sudo if you have a user named sudo ;)
[03:31] <MrParanoia> ironyCurtain> turn off the wep when using public networks (hotspots)
[03:31] <tnzr> mike_: sudo is a command
[03:31] <mike_> profoX: it means execute as another user
[03:31] <tnzr> not a user
[03:31] <andax> hou5ton, it's not a problem to play wmv files, try using mplayer-plugin ( http://mplayerplug-in.sourceforge.net/ )
[03:31] <SoCal> sudo means superuser do
[03:31] <mike_> tnzr: you're five minutes too late, and I already know, kthnx
[03:31] <w30> Don_jr, think of the md5sum as the total and correct number of bites in the file
[03:31] <tnzr> it means execute as root (superuser = su = "sudo")
[03:31] <SoCal> means do this command using su
[03:32] <profoX> mike_: what SoCal says
[03:32] <tnzr> mike_: listen to yourself, kthx
[03:32] <tnzr> and dont say "kthx" in a Linux channel and expect serious help
[03:32] <hou5ton> andax:  ya .. that's what I have .. the extension installed for firefox, etc. ... and CNN uses it just fine???
[03:32] <ironyCurtain> MrParanoia: this is my home network though, technically my roommate's, i can't turn off encryption
[03:32] <tnzr> I guess you could in #ubuntu.. nevermind.
[03:32] <mike_> right, let's stop useless chat and see if anyone can fix my wireless :p
[03:32] <Don_jr> okay w30 where I'm confused is, if I run the md5 on the .ISO file, I get a number, what do I compare that number to to see if there is an error?
[03:32] <andax> hou5ton, never tried, i'll check it
[03:32] <hou5ton> andax:  How do I get the other websites to use it
[03:32] <evan_> how do i do internet sharing in ubuntu?
[03:32] <mike_> evan_: buy a switch.... =)
[03:32] <felipe___> rubyonrails
[03:33] <MrParanoia> ironyCurtain> you can't turn off the WEP on your laptop or on the router?
[03:33] <evan_> mike_, have one...
[03:33] <mike_> evan_: buy a router....  shrug.
[03:33] <w30> Don_jr, the other supposedly matching number will be posted on the internet at the same place that offered the iso file for downloading
[03:33] <evan_> mike_, have 1
[03:33] <Phoul> Does anyone here know anything about darkbot (i know its not the right room just curious)
[03:33] <ironyCurtain> MrParanoia: The WEP isn't the issue, I think, because it does the same thing when connecting to an unsecured network.
[03:33] <mark__> In the repository their is linux-686 and linux-686-smp, when either one is set to be installed it marks the same 686 kernel's? so does it not matter which I select for a Pentium4 to get hyperthreading?
[03:33] <Don_jr> okay, thank you
[03:33] <Don_jr> I"ll go look and see if I can find that info now so I know what I"m looking for
[03:34] <tnzr> ironyCurtain: did you try the iwconfig/ifup eth1 stuff?
[03:34] <evan_> mike_, i have a laptop that get wireless that i want to share with the pc in my room so i dont have to run a wire down the hall
[03:34] <profoX> evan_: internet sharing? with a router that shouldn't be a problem - or do I miss something
[03:34] <viator_> plug other computers into the router lol
[03:34] <dalila> when i burn with gnomebaker i get this error Using IMAGESPRODUCTSEARRINGSF000.JPEG;1 for  /home/dalila/Desktop/olddocs/Bracelets With A Story/item.asp_files/imagesproductsearringsfruitwhite.jpeg (imagesproductsearringsfruitblue.jpeg)
[03:34] <dalila> Incorrectly encoded string (in cursos UNE.xls) encountered.
[03:34] <dalila> Possibly creating an invalid Joliet extension. Aborting
[03:34] <tnzr> evan: your laptop running ubuntu?
[03:34] <andax> hou5ton, i checked www.cnn.com , the videos are playing fine for me using mplayer-plugin + firefox
[03:34] <MrParanoia> ironyCurtain> if you have WEP turned on when using a network that doesn't use WEP, it won't connect
[03:34] <evan_> tnzr, yes both comps
[03:34] <w30> mark__, smp stands for multiple processors
[03:35] <profoX> evan_: is the computer connected to the router?
[03:35] <hou5ton> andax:  I know .... it's FoxNEws that only the sound works, and on MSNBC, nothing does
[03:35] <MrParanoia> ironyCurtain> otherwise, you're using the wrong WEP key
[03:35] <profoX> or how do you want to share the internet?
[03:35] <tnzr> evan_: its kind of a long story but I think youd use iptables.. wireless card woul dbe the external and your lan card would be the internal, your laptop would be the router
[03:35] <viator_> are you saying you want the linux box to act as a gateway /router
[03:35] <andax> hou5ton, oh okay checking them
[03:35] <viator_> to share its connection?
[03:35] <tnzr> youd need to read up on using iptables and linux for routing purposes
[03:35] <evan_> profoX, im on the laptop right now... i just want to share this connection with the desktop in my room
[03:36] <ironyCurtain> MrParanoia: i turn it off when connecting to an unsecured network
[03:36] <SoCal> does your desktop have a wireless card too?
[03:36] <MrParanoia> ironyCurtain> if you have a firewall installed, consider turning it off for testing
[03:36] <profoX> evan_: without having to put a cable in the router u mean?
[03:36] <mike_> http://pastebin.ca/146994
[03:36] <tnzr> your desktop wouldnt need a wireless card, you could plug it directly into your laptops ethernet jack
[03:36] <tnzr> err
[03:36] <tnzr> into a hub into your laptops ethernet jack
[03:36] <dalila> brb
[03:36] <mark__> w30, I know so which should I select to have hyperthreading does that count as multiple cpu's, just I read in the ubuntu forums about this saying it should be linux-686-smp but it seems to point to the same 686 kernels.
[03:36] <klhrevolutionist>  Okay I read up on snd-cs4236 and added it to my /etc/modules file. But upon rebooting xubuntu is not catching my sound. So I have to open terminal & sudo modprobe snd-cs4236. Andyway to make this automatic upon booting ?
[03:36] <evan_> so like MODEM -> router ---wireless--> Laptop ---WIRE--> desktop
[03:37] <tnzr> evan_: you can prolly do it that way but ive never done it without a hub between the laptop -> desktop
[03:37] <fangorious> i'm messing around with having multiple ServerLayout sections in xorg.conf, and have two of the intended three working. I assume I have to pick which layout to use before gdm starts, is there a way to do that with a grub kernel option?
[03:37] <mike_> ^  wireless config doesn't seem to work
[03:37] <mark__> so surely it doesn't make a difference?
[03:37] <evan_> tnzr, its a crossover cablet hat goes to my desktop
[03:37] <andax> hou5ton, confirmed, foxnews only plays sound, no picture :(
[03:37] <tnzr> evan_: that would work
[03:38] <hou5ton> andax:  so .... what shall we do now?  :-)
[03:38] <tnzr> evan its  pretty easy to setup, the tough part is just setting up iptables nad actually understanding what you are doing.. I couldnt even really begin to tell you here, though Ive used a linux box as a router for quite some time (a gentoo box, no wireless)
[03:38] <MrParanoia> this ubuntu takes some getting use to
[03:38] <w30> mark__, what's hyperthreading? I thought that was a Microsoft thing?
[03:38] <evan_> profoX, im connected wirelessly with my laptop. now i just want to plug a crossover from my latop to my desktop so i dont have to run a wire to my router...
[03:38] <evan_> tnzr, im a n00b, how would i do it?
[03:38] <MrParanoia> w30> hyperthreading is a cpu feature
[03:38] <mike_> Is shockwave doable on ubuntu ?
[03:39] <tnzr> evan_: we could try something :) im not a network guru but maybe you could plug it into your laptop and set a route on your laptop or something
[03:39] <bimberi> !shockwave
[03:39] <ubotu> shockwave is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave
[03:39] <andax> hou5ton, i have no idea, foxnews seems to be using flash video which i have no clue about, i could have helped with the mplayer plugin only
[03:39] <VOYAGER> it should show up as 2 processors in top
[03:39] <evan_> tnzr, how would i go about doing that?
[03:39] <VOYAGER> type top at command line
[03:39] <ubuntu_> the dapper live/install-cd can't do X on my computer (it gets confused by the 4 video cards, i think).  can i still do the old text-mode install?
[03:39] <mike_> bimberi: how about you tell me something searching google *didn't*? :-)
[03:39] <w30> mike_, hyper transport is amd's architecture
[03:39] <tehsu> !info w32codecs
[03:39] <ubotu> Package w32codecs does not exist in dapper
[03:39] <profoX> ubuntu_: use alternate install cd
[03:40] <mike_> w30: wrong person... :)
[03:40] <tehsu> !info w32codec
[03:40] <ubotu> Package w32codec does not exist in dapper
[03:40] <Don_jr> Okay, live CD mode is running properly thus far.  disk is done chattering at me and mouse still moves
[03:40] <tehsu> what do I use for decoding mp3 and wma
[03:40] <Don_jr> is there anything I should do before clicking the install button?
[03:40] <w30> mike_, sorry
[03:40] <ubuntu_>  profoX blarg, out of cdr's, the binary for the old install is no where on the livecd?
[03:40] <mark__> ok it does show two CPU's in GNOME's System Monitor so I guess it is working just don't know why their is a linux-686 and linux-686-smp that both install the same kernels
[03:40] <andax> tehsu, www.mplayerhq.hu or apt-get install mplayer
[03:40] <profoX> ubuntu_: not that i know - although that would have made it more user friendly..
[03:41] <ubuntu_> profoX: ok, well, thank you for the help, guess i better go dig up some more cds
[03:41] <tehsu> !info mplayer
[03:41] <ubotu> mplayer: The Ultimate Movie Player For Linux. In component multiverse, is extra. Version 2:0.99+1.0pre7try2+cvs20060117-0ubuntu8 (dapper), package size 3265 kB, installed size 7916 kB
[03:41] <bimberi> mike_: lol, well i know that it really doesn't work very well.  It uses wine and my kids, who are discerning lego.com shockwave game players, have to use windows :|
[03:41] <tehsu> :o
[03:41] <profoX> mark__: dummy package probably
[03:41] <tehsu> it says couldnt find mplayer
[03:41] <mark__> profoX, ah ok
[03:41] <VOYAGER> mark__, the non smp will install it oh on 1 processor but you should have the smp version if more than 1 processor
[03:41] <mike_> bimberi: hm... k, thx.  I'm setting up ubuntu for an elderly fellow (he is Mike, I am Quintin) and wanted shockwave....
[03:41] <klhrevolutionist> Okay I read up on snd-cs4236 and added it to my /etc/modules file. But upon rebooting xubuntu is not catching my sound. So I have to open terminal & sudo modprobe snd-cs4236. Andyway to make this automatic upon booting ?
[03:42] <profoX> mark__: u can ignore it could be a transitional package to avoid confusion
[03:42] <tnzr> evan_: plug the desktop into your laptop, youll have to specify an internal address on your laptops nic (not wireless).. <IP_ADDRESS> or something, then set an ip on your PC, set its gateway to your laptops nic (<IP_ADDRESS>), then on your laptop, you could forward info coming in on <IP_ADDRESS> to the wireless card, using hte route command I believe.  If route is incapable of something like that, youd probably definitely have to use iptables
[03:42] <mike_> bimberi: got java and flash at least.  so yahoo games works
[03:42] <andax> tehsu, edit /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment the universe repositories, then apt-get update && apt-get install mplayer
[03:42] <evan_> tnzr, i dont know howl.
[03:42] <tehsu> k
[03:42] <profoX> VOYAGER: i actually think 686 is smp by default now
[03:42] <mike_> How do I get better multimedia support?  eg. divx xvid, wma wmv etc ?
[03:42] <VOYAGER> profoX,  tnx
[03:42] <profoX> VOYAGER: so -smp is just transitional package in 686 and k7
[03:43] <VOYAGER> i had to use the smp on beta testing
[03:43] <MrParanoia> ironyCurtain> BTW, i'm using the ipw2200 on my dell600m with no problems
[03:43] <VOYAGER> on my dual xeons
[03:43] <VOYAGER> but not on the p4 with hyperthreading
[03:43] <UncleD> Does anyone know how to make dircolors work properly?
[03:43] <profoX> VOYAGER: well i could be wrong..
[03:43] <UncleD> I can't seem to get my directory color to change from blue to green
[03:43] <profoX> thought i heard it somewhere
[03:44] <w30> mark__, crazy eh? I don't know if the disro needs tweaking for multi-processors either.
[03:44] <UncleD> I want to do ls --color and see my directorys as GREEN. Anyone?
[03:44] <VOYAGER> profoX,  could be i gave up after the tests
[03:44] <mark__> w30, yep a little confusing
[03:44] <Don_jr> okay, the live CD OS is running fine right now.  Is there anything I should do before clicking the install?
[03:44] <Chu> If I wanted to use the 686 linux kernel instead of the 386, should I just install through synaptic, or do I need to do something with my current kernel as well?
[03:44] <mike_> UncleD: directories are supposed to be blue.  are you crazy?!
[03:44] <tehsu> andax: E: Package mplayer has no installation candidat
[03:44] <mike_> Don_jr: make backups
[03:44] <Don_jr> backups of what? it's a whiped HD
[03:44] <mark__> just I read on the Ubuntu forums it was essential to have the linux-686-smp one marked with the Pentium4
[03:45] <profoX> Chu: installing linux-686 will pull the  necessary dependancies afaik :)
[03:45] <mike_> Don_jr: just run the installer and accept defaults then.
[03:45] <Chu> profoX: It didn't say it needed any...
[03:45] <UncleD> mike_: I have a black background and it's hard for my eyes.
[03:45] <tehsu> andax: wont install mplayer
[03:45] <tehsu> !info mplayer

[03:45] <tehsu> hm
[03:45] <andax> tehsu, check http://rnc000.blogspot.com/2006/08/installing-mplayer-on-ubuntu-dapper.html
[03:46] <tehsu> ok
[03:46] <profoX> Chu: oh? could be..
[03:46] <tnzr> evan: yeah its a little tricky.. ive never done that so I couldnt really tell you how teh route command would work.. your PC's ip would be something like <IP_ADDRESS>, your laptoips nic would be your PC's gateway (<IP_ADDRESS>) and your wireless nic would be your non-wireless laptop nic's gateway, so to speak
[03:46] <Don_jr> ubotu been doin this for a while eh? you know quite a bit of this stuff
[03:46] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about been doin this for a while eh? you know quite a bit of this stuff - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:46] <profoX> Chu: yoou can always go back to old kernel if it doesnt work
[03:46] <Don_jr> lol
[03:46] <tehsu> multiverse
[03:46] <lupine> route: route add default gw <router IP>
[03:46] <Don_jr> it's a bot...okay I"m an idiot
[03:46] <kitsuneofdoom> I have been using fwcutter with a 64 bit driver to access wireless on a bcm4319 card on my Ubuntu 6.06 64 bit laptop. I have been unable to connect using iwconfig and dhclient, but iwlist works, and reliably shows the local wireless networks
[03:46] <lupine> (as sudo)
[03:46] <UncleD> mike_: Help me change my colors!
[03:46] <Chu> I'm asking if I need to do anything with my current kernel. I'm not sure how it would like multiple kernels...
[03:47] <profoX> Don_jr: its a bot
[03:47] <wikijeff> Should I see my touchpad in /proc/bus/input/devices??? If I don't see it there, how else can I figure out which handlers it is using and if the computer is detecting it? Right now my touchpad isn't working and isn't showing up in /proc/bus/input/devices, thanks!
[03:47] <malv> anyone know of a good router brand?
[03:47] <Don_jr> I clicked install, disk is goin nutz, but noting on the screen yet....
[03:47] <malv> or model, rather?
[03:47] <profoX> Don_jr: lol
[03:47] <mike_> UncleD: if you can fix my wireless problem, I will help you change your colors.  otherwise, no deal!!
[03:47] <Don_jr> yeah, I"m a dope...heh
[03:47] <tehsu> malv: linksys
[03:47] <Chu> But it doesn't say it needs to remove anything, so I'm a bit confused. :p
[03:47] <malv> tehsu: which model?
[03:47] <Don_jr> This is like my 3rd time in IRC...bear with me here
[03:47] <mike_> p://pastebin.ca/146994  wireless issues, please to be looking :)
[03:47] <profoX> Don_jr: np :) ur not the first one
[03:47] <louis__> hello
[03:47] <louis__> i am a newbie
[03:47] <louis__> does any1 chat with me
[03:48] <kitsuneofdoom> louis__: first thing, don't introduce yourself. Just write down your problem
[03:48] <Don_jr> Any reason why I don't have anything on my desktop after clickin the install button?  Disk is going nutz like it's doing something, but nothing to report what's being done..
[03:48] <andax> louis__, just ask your question and someone will help you sooner or later
[03:48] <mike_> UncleD: I'm waiting.........
[03:48] <mike_> Don_jr: sit and wait patiently.
[03:48] <Don_jr> ok
[03:48] <UncleD> mike_: Whats your wireless problem
[03:48] <louis__> ok,thank you very much,i see
[03:48] <mike_> UncleD: I've pasted it like twelve times reless issues, please to be looking :)
[03:48] <mike_> 09:42 < profoX> Don_jr: np :) ur not the first one
[03:48] <mike_> 09:42 < louis__> hello
[03:48] <mike_> 09:42 < louis__> i am a newbie
[03:49] <louis__> :)
[03:49] <wikijeff> Anyone?????
[03:49] <mike_> UncleD: I've pasted it like twelve times , http://pastebin.ca/146994
[03:49] <Don_jr> I was told the netgear wg511 wireless card for a laptop is compatible with ubuntu, can anyone here confirm or deny this?
[03:49] <profoX> louis__: welcome.. :)
[03:49] <VitaminG> anyone here having problems with the azureus version in the repos?
[03:49] <mike_> Don_jr: STFW
[03:49] <tnzr> mike: google for Automatix .. it can isntall all the video stuff you need
[03:49] <Don_jr> eh?
[03:49] <profoX> VitaminG: i use ktorrent because of the java
[03:49] <andax> mike_, www.getautomatix.com
[03:49] <mike_> Don_jr: search the FINE web
[03:50] <HAL9000> I use frostwire
[03:50] <HAL9000> Limewire
[03:50] <VitaminG> profoX: I have Gnome, and I don't really want to install KDE libs
[03:50] <Don_jr> it doesn't always produce the results you'd like to get...
[03:50] <Don_jr> but I'll look again
[03:50] <HAL9000> and ktorrent
[03:50] <Madpilot> mike_, 1. do NOT use "STFW" here. 2. Don't recommend Automatix, it breaks things...
[03:50] <mike_> tnzr: mmmmmm ty
[03:50] <VitaminG> HAL9000: I'm looking for a bittorrent solution, thogh
[03:50] <tnzr> np
[03:50] <profoX> VitaminG: well.. me too.. atleast kde libs + ktorrent require less memory/cpu than java + azureus :)
[03:50] <HAL9000> what is ur os
[03:51] <mike_> Madpilot: I didn't.  and I don't see any reason to ban acronyms, seriously.
[03:51] <VitaminG> HAL9000: Ubuntu Dapper
[03:51] <sethk> VitaminG, the libraries aren't that large, it seems foolish not to run something just because it uses kde libraries
[03:51] <BOBSONATOR> Does anyone here use kismet/AIRCRACK>
[03:51] <BOBSONATOR> ?
[03:51] <profoX> VitaminG: alot of people use torrent in wine - works perfectly - uses low ram - very fast - verrry advanced
[03:51] <mike_> andax:  madpilot say not to use automatix !
[03:51] <HAL9000> I use PCLOS
[03:51] <BOBSONATOR> PCLOS?
[03:51] <louis__> what is ismet/AIRCRACK>
[03:51] <mike_> profoX: last I looked it was kind of buggy... but utorrent is best
[03:51] <HAL9000> PCLINUXOS
[03:51] <profoX> yes automatix breaks things.
[03:51] <VitaminG> sethk: I have dial-up, so the KDE libs are a fairly large download for me
[03:51] <BOBSONATOR> its a wep cracking tool
[03:51] <mike_> I have it going now :)
[03:51] <tnzr> mike: if you dont want to use it, google for "codec ubuntu" or somethinhg
[03:51] <BOBSONATOR> later guys, going to a party.
[03:52] <profoX> mike_: torrent is great, too bad its closed source / windows
[03:52] <sethk> VitaminG, ok, but if you need them, start the download and go to sleep
[03:52] <louis__> web cracking?
[03:52] <tnzr> youll find a good page or two regarding isntalling it the manual way
[03:52] <HAL9000> Bittornando works well
[03:52] <wweasel> VitaminG: I second the recommendation of utorrent in Wine. I am torrenting somethign in utorrent right now, actually
[03:52] <dalila> come on ps2 mice should work out of the box.... any hints on getting a new ps2 mice hp model m871 working
[03:52] <Madpilot> mike_, it's not the acronym itself, it's that "search the f'ing web" isn't really a helpful answer...
[03:53] <q_a_z_steve> how do I get past the password or something if all I can get is a login prompt?
[03:53] <andax> mike_, if you don't want to use automatix then go to www.mplayerhq.hu and follow the installation instructions, or have a look at http://rnc000.blogspot.com/2006/08/installing-mplayer-on-ubuntu-dapper.html  for the quick and easy way to get mplayer. It will play every multimedia content
[03:53] <profoX> louis__: kismet/aircrack are programs for wardriving or for checking wireless connections and/or breaking the used encryption (wep/wpa) on the networks
[03:53] <kitsuneofdoom> I have been using fwcutter with a 64 bit driver to access wireless on a bcm4319 card on my Ubuntu 6.06 64 bit laptop. I have been unable to connect using iwconfig and dhclient, but iwlist works, and reliably shows the local wireless networks
[03:53] <wweasel> mike_: utorrent in wine is 100% stable. just has an annoying flicker.
[03:53] <mike_> Madpilot: It is very helpful when someone is asking something that is answered better and faster by a google search than by someone explaining things to them
[03:53] <mike_> wweasel: ok.  last time I futzed about on utorrent forums it said it had issues. :)
[03:53] <profoX> wweasel: yea and its ugly as hell - for the rest it works fine
[03:53] <Madpilot> andax, recommend https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats over autobreakix or random Google searches
[03:54] <mike_> who cares if it's ugly
[03:54] <profoX> mike_: i do - its part of my desktop
[03:54] <profoX> :)
[03:54] <wweasel> mike_: Alot of people.
[03:54] <VitaminG> well thanks, I'll try a few of these ideas
[03:54] <louis__> profox,you are a good person
[03:54] <toddobryan> I'm trying to set up nfs for my computer lab at school. (I teach.) I'm going through the NFS How-To, and it looks like Ubuntu isn't paying attention to hosts.deny or hosts.allow.
[03:54] <toddobryan> Am I missing something?
[03:54] <mike_> profoX: you do ... what? :)
[03:54] <profoX> louis__: lol -- thank you very much
[03:54] <wweasel> mike_: he cares if it's ugly
[03:54] <profoX> mike_: i do care about it being pretty
[03:54] <blind> oh jeez.
[03:54] <HAL9000> Whats everyones favorite OS
[03:55] <wweasel> profoX: Is there any way to get it to show an icon on the taskbar?
[03:55] <profoX> wweasel: its been a while since i last ran it -- i use ktorrent now
[03:55] <SoCal> HAL9000, Ubuntu
[03:55] <wweasel> profoX: How is KTorrent, compared to uTorrent?
[03:55] <fangorious> is there a way to detect a docking station on a laptop?
[03:55] <SoCal> or FreeBSD
[03:55] <profoX> wweasel: it's "okay"
[03:55] <mike_> blind: eat me
[03:55] <mark__> HAL9000, xubuntu
[03:55] <mike_> HAL9000: mac or win for desktop, freebsd or gentoo for server
[03:56] <mike_> or solaris
[03:56] <blind> mike_: follow the coc please :]
[03:56] <mike_> solaris is tasty
[03:56] <louis__> show an icon on the taskbar?you mean shortcut?
[03:56] <profoX> wweasel: ktorrent is almost as advanced and has a built-in torrent search engine that i like
[03:56] <louis__> ?
[03:56] <mike_> blind: you started it ! >:P
[03:56] <profoX> wweasel: and it can be extended by plugin
[03:56] <HAL9000> PCLINUXOS here
[03:56] <blind> mike_: I didn't start anything.
[03:56] <VOYAGER> fangorious, im having mixed results here with compaq m-700
[03:56] <wweasel> profoX: utorrent has a built in torrent search engine too. or, search bar rather.
[03:56] <mike_> shrug
[03:56] <wweasel> profoX: but i'm gonna check out KTorrent.
[03:56] <Madpilot> Folks, non-tech-support chat can move to #ubuntu-offtopic, please...
[03:56] <mark__> I want to give FreeBSD a go
[03:56] <profoX> wweasel: yea i know but i like ktorrents thing better :) search thing
[03:56] <sethk> blind hasn't said anything for quite some time
[03:56] <Don_jr> Okay I don't see it on the web page.  can anyone confirm or deny that the netgear WG511 wireless card is or is not compatible with Ubuntu?
[03:56] <profoX> it has a built in HTML browser
[03:56] <sethk> mark__, freebsd is an interesting o/s
[03:56] <SoCal> FreeBSDis nice...especially for a server
[03:56] <MrParanoia> is sysv-rc-conf still valid in ubuntu 6.06.1?
[03:57] <SoCal> As for desktop, I like Ubuntu
[03:57] <SoCal> everything works
[03:57] <mark__> also might give Fedora a go one day
[03:57] <Madpilot> Don_jr, routers shouldn't care what's connecting to them...
[03:57] <MrParanoia> or is there a different config tool available?
[03:57] <Don_jr> it's not a router, it's the card that I want to put in my laptop
[03:57] <SoCal> I don't care for Fedora...I dunno why...jut me
[03:57] <louis__> SocCal,i like ubuntu too
[03:57] <SoCal> just me
