[08:50] <JeffBell> sethk, I am not a C programmer or anything, so I rely on interpretations when it comes to assessing platforms.  that said, I'm not a total idiot, either
[08:50] <amrnet> yah i know and i do not know why it is not mounted
[08:50] <ashika> JeffBell, in my opinion you have your mind made and either stick to Krita or use Wine/Crossover.
[08:50] <bretzel> how to remove vmware, I am stuck in configure-failure - remove-failure cycle!!! and then how to get kernel headers for compiling kernel modules ? ( nvidia beta )
[08:50] <amrnet> is there a special kernel module i have to check
[08:50] <Fred_Sambo> bretzel, that sucks!
[08:50] <Fred_Sambo> vmware has changed my life
[08:50] <spunk_> soren, hello. :-)
[08:50] <rioghal> amrnet, not sure i have not had a device fail to mount when i plugged it in
[08:51] <manmadha> mamzers555, ok i am downloading it
[08:51] <JeffBell> ashika, what I am happy to learn today.... having made up my mind, previously, to stick with Windows as my primary boot.... is that I *can* find a way to use Photoshop inside of Ubuntu.  That surprises and pleases me to no end!
[08:51] <bretzel> how to get kernel headers for compiling kernel modules ? ( nvidia beta ) then ?
[08:51] <zlack> anybody else running skype and encountering random crashes of the program?
[08:51] <mamzers555> manmadha; sorry mate, this package is for 6.10
[08:51] <amrnet> rioghal: first time i have this prob too ok will try something and be back :)
[08:51] <ashika> JeffBell, Use wine it has been reported by some that CS2 works.
[08:51] <mamzers555> manmadha; i don't know if it works for you
[08:51] <JeffBell> rioghal, I will check those momentarily.  thank oyu
[08:51] <manmadha> ya it is not working for me
[08:51] <allz> ljl plzzz pm me .when you will comeback
[08:51] <JeffBell> *you
[08:51] <bretzel> how to get kernel headers for compiling kernel modules ? ( nvidia beta )
[08:51] <mamzers555> manmadha; it is better to compile from source in this case, i can help you with the ./configure-stuff
[08:51] <dm_> hey guys ne f my keys stpped wrking can anyne help
[08:51] <manmadha> how to install it?
[08:52] <manmadha> ohhh
[08:52] <rioghal> JeffBell, i had my doubts about gimp until i found those two sites  those sites have helped me do tons of stuff in the gimp
[08:52] <manmadha> But it is not working
[08:52] <samu> Do I need to install any special packages to get the full effect from my "powerful" voodoo3 3dfx card in games for example?
[08:52] <mamzers555> manmadha; because it is for 6.10
[08:52] <spunk_> Hi! I'm trying to install Edgy on an Acer Laptop. The comp. has a Intel Wifi card (Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG). I'm having a hard time to get it running... Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
[08:52] <ashika> spunk_, Download linux version of drivers.
[08:52] <manmadha> mamzers555, it is asking for gtk2.0
[08:53] <manmadha> mamzers555, You must have the GTK+ 2.0 development headers installed to compile Gaim's
[08:53] <manmadha> GTK+ interface.  If you only want to build the console interface then
[08:53] <manmadha> specify --disable-gtkui when running configure.
[08:53] <JeffBell> rioghal, I will go through them, but I am highly skeptical.  There is no doubt that the GIMP has many powerful tools.  But I balk at the prospect of serious work. =]
[08:53] <mamzers555> manmadha; yes
[08:53] <spunk_> ashika: ok, from the sourceforge project?
[08:53] <manmadha> This is the out put
[08:53] <dm_> the letter after n and the letter befre p stpped wrkin n my keybard, can anyne help
[08:53] <dm_> this is strange
[08:53] <manmadha> what to do..?
[08:53] <ashika> spunk_, Wherever you find them for your card. As soon as you install your card's drivers it should work after a reboot.
[08:53] <spunk_> ashika: ok, I've tried to find them in Synaptic but to no avail... :-(
[08:54] <mamzers555> manmadha; just a moment
[08:54] <ashika> spunk_, Inte;
[08:54] <ashika> spunk_, Intel's website or do a google search with wireless card name and driver download after.
[08:54] <spunk_> ashika, ok, Ill try that. thanks!
[08:54] <xenex> how would one convert all of the icons in /usr/share/icons/ to jpg or ico? i tried uploading them to a ftp and then downloading them on windows but only some actually show the picture
[08:55] <mamzers555> manmadha; you have to install the gtk2-libs to compile gaim
[08:55] <Cosmonaut3030> Does anyone know how to make Konsole display colours?
[08:55] <ashzilla> I'm looking for the proper code to display files in a given directory in order of ascending numerical values. I.e 1,2,3...10,11,12,...100,101.102 using GNU ls
[08:55] <sethk> Cosmonaut3030, it has various color arrangements available in it's configuration menus
[08:56] <JeffBell> For those with patience, there is an interesting discussion on *some* aspects of how GIMP fails versus Photoshop (some are detailed, some are not) but this is a good starting point.  http://thelinuxadvocate.blogspot.com/2006/08/gimp-vs-photoshop-what-still-needs-to.html
[08:56] <Scorpmoon> my computer stalls, i can't do anything but use the reset button.. is this more likely to be a hardware fault than ubuntu error?
[08:57] <blithe> I've always wondered if there were things the gimp did well that photoshop did not.
[08:57] <dfgas> any apache pros in here?
[08:57] <JeffBell> blithe, I have not encountered a single one.
[08:57] <dfgas> anyidea why i installed apache and php5 in ubuntu and when i try to goto the site it just trys to download all the files that i am trying to access
[08:57] <xenex> how would one convert all of the icons in /usr/share/icons/ to jpg or ico? i tried uploading them to a ftp and then downloading them on windows but only some actually show the picture
[08:57] <roryy> ashzilla: ls|sort -n might work
[08:57] <roryy> ashzilla: not sure about floating-point type numbers
[08:57] <blithe> JeffBell: Then again, I'm a pro in either of them to the slightest, and never utilize advanced features.
[08:57] <Cosmonaut3030> sethk, I'm not talking about the colour scheme, I mean like highlighted at signs.... if that makes any sense.
[08:58] <ashzilla> roryy, I was looking at that but couldn't figure it out. I'll give it a go.
[08:58] <manmadha> mamzers555, there is no such pacakge dude
[08:58] <sethk> Cosmonaut3030, the ncurses library has those capabilities, and they work with konsole
[08:58] <livingdaylight> anyone use Gizmo?
[08:58] <spunk_> ashika, still there?
[08:58] <Cosmonaut3030> The ncurses library? Anything important I should know before I set off on my search?
[08:58] <ashzilla> roryy: worked perfectly. :]
[08:59] <ashzilla> Thanks
[08:59] <Alan_> what would cause modprobe to loose track of the modules?
[08:59] <livingdaylight> can i safely use the Debian .deb Gizmo file or should i install the binary .tar.gz instead?
[08:59] <mamzers555> manmadha; 'sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev'
[08:59] <roryy> livingdaylight: probably best to use the .tar.gz
[08:59] <JeffBell> blithe, I think for basic image manipulation (cropping, rotating, resizing, maybe a few basic filters... as someone else mentioned previously) then the GIMP is sufficient.  krita has a much friendly UI, but those who have used GIMP for 3+ years might shrug it off.
[08:59] <`4aFkA`> will anyone give me a link from vmware pls!! ?
[08:59] <rioghal> livingdaylight, one should not use debian .deb's at all in ubuntu.. its better to compile it yourself
[09:00] <roryy> livingdaylight: if you're feeling up to it, you could try to build from the debian source
[09:00] <e_machinist> When I set my desktop resolution to 1024x768, the fonts, buttons, etc, seem really huge and take up far too much space (as compared to other OS's running at the same resolution). Is there any way to make GNOME look "normal" at 1024x768?
[09:00] <LjL> allz: "apt-cache policy nvidia-glx". look if the "candidate" and "installed" versions match, and what they are.
[09:00] <e_machinist> I don't feel like I'm describing the situation very well.
[09:00] <`4aFkA`> will anyone give me a link from vmware pls!! ?
[09:01] <rioghal> e_machinist, have you tried 1152x864  it will give you more desktop space but will make things just a tad smaller
[09:01] <roryy> !vmware | `4aFkA`
[09:01] <ubotu> `4aFkA`: VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository. Instructions to install VMWare Server can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingVMWare
[09:02] <livingdaylight> roryy, is it ok to use the Debian DEB package? would be alot easier for me than using the gizmo tarball
[09:02] <ashzilla> How can I by default have the command ls actually run the command ls -hAg --sort n?
[09:02] <e_machinist> rioghal: I'll try that resolution, one sec.
[09:02] <roryy> livingdaylight: as i said, it's best not to
[09:02] <maydog2> ist
[09:02] <alextb> a
[09:02] <rioghal> livingdaylight, the advice i gave comes from the advice i got from several ubuntu gurus
[09:03] <adben> merci
[09:03] <xenex> how would one convert all of the icons in /usr/share/icons/ to jpg or ico? i tried uploading them to a ftp and then downloading them on windows but only some actually show the picture
[09:03] <livingdaylight> rioghal, damn...
[09:03] <`4aFkA`> will anyone give me a link from vmware pls!! ? i need to instal ubuntu
[09:04] <alextb> ola...
[09:04] <rioghal> livingdaylight, the advice i got was 1) install from repos, 2) find an ubuntu .deb, 3) compile it yourself
[09:04] <alextb> como sai de um canal?
[09:04] <JeffBell> Thanks for the help, y'all.  You made my night fun. =]  I've bookmarked the links. But it's just after then and the missus will demand I step away from the screen soonish.  Until next time...
[09:04] <e_machinist> rioghal: wow, 1152x864 is perfect. Runs at a good refresh rate as well (75).
[09:04] <alextb> clear
[09:04] <Cosmonaut3030> dcop is awesome.
[09:04] <alextb> \clear
[09:04] <e_machinist> Thanks.

[09:04] <rioghal> e_machinist, thats my favorite resolution :)
[09:04] <xSUSHi> How do I find out how many users are logged in?
[09:05] <`4aFkA`> tnx
[09:05] <`4aFkA`> will the programs who are on my windows work on linux ?
[09:05] <icepack> '4aFkA': you need to download a free trial for the workstation to install the virtual machine
[09:05] <spunk_> Has anyone experience from installing a driver for a Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG? Looking at Intel's installation instructions for Linux does not help me a bit when it comes to make it work under Ubuntu. :-(
[09:05] <ashzilla> Okay. New Question. If I have an executable file Songbird, that when I double click it in gnome opens correctly, how do I open that file in the terminal?
[09:05] <rioghal> xSUSHi, open a term and type: who
[09:05] <Kingsqueak> xSUSHi: 'w'
[09:05] <icepack> '4aFkA'- elaborate
[09:05] <Cosmonaut3030> ashzilla: what's the file ending?
[09:05] <xSUSHi> Thanks, and what's the command to find out what ports are open?
[09:05] <probins> hey is LJL still here?
[09:05] <LjL> probins: yes
[09:05] <Kingsqueak> xSUSHi: netstat -an or  lsof -i tcp or udp
[09:06] <biotech> hey everyody :) i need help with a small project. im looking for an 2d mmorpg server, tiled based like fifnal fantasy.
[09:06] <xSUSHi> Kingsqueak and rioghal thanks a lot
[09:06] <`4aFkA`> the programs who work in windows can some how be made to work on ubuntu ?
[09:06] <rioghal> xSUSHi, np :)
[09:06] <biotech> 4afka use wine
[09:06] <probins> sorry I had to go do something else
[09:06] <allz> ljl
[09:06] <allz> here?
[09:06] <LjL> Ubotu, please tell `4aFkA` about wine
[09:06] <icepack> '4aFkA': check out www.winehq.com for that, vmware will let you actually run windows in linux. much different from wine
[09:06] <LjL> allz: try restarting X first, yeah, but i'm guessing you'll have to reboot the computer, since kernel modules have been updated
[09:07] <allz> i try that
[09:07] <probins> did you answer me to my snd_usb_audio question?
[09:07] <probins> I get "/lib/modules/2.6.15-26-386/kernel/sound/usb/snd-usb-audio.ko
[09:07] <xenex> how would one convert all of the icons in /usr/share/icons/ to jpg or ico? i tried uploading them to a ftp and then downloading them on windows but only some actually show the picture
[09:07] <LjL> allz, yeah, wrong paste
[09:07] <pcgigabyte> Question. I tried the installing of xgl guide but it is outdated. Anyone know of a new updated install of xgl guide that works?
[09:07] <LjL> [21:00:24]  <LjL> allz: "apt-cache policy nvidia-glx". look if the "candidate" and "installed" versions match, and what they are.
[09:07] <`4aFkA`> tnx biotech
[09:07] <biotech> there is one mmorpg server for windows called x-realms
[09:07] <jrs> hy, i tried to burn the xubuntu iso but my cd-rom-burner only burns a little piece of the iso :s how can i fix this?
[09:07] <biotech> np
[09:08] <Alan_> My system stopped autoloading the modules on boot. Modprobe can't find the modules unless I give it the full path name. I'm not sure what I changed (besides installing kde)
[09:08] <ashzilla> Okay, to start Songbird I use ./Songbird, is it possible to run this command so the terminal window will close after it starts the application?
[09:08] <`4aFkA`> icepack whitch one i need to download ??
[09:08] <ashzilla> Or better yet, is it possible to run a terminal command, so that after the application starts the terminal window (or tab) closes?
[09:09] <roryy> ashzilla: something like './Songbird& exit' ?
[09:09] <mcphail> ashzilla: why not start it from an alt-f2 launcher?
[09:09] <mc__> ashzilla: it is
[09:09] <icepack> '4aFka': depends on what you want to do. wine will run some windows programs, theres a list of apps at www.winehq.com. for vmware, you'll have to actually install windows(you need a working cd-key), it won't ad or touch partitions.
[09:09] <mc__> ashzilla: "exec yourcommand"
[09:09] <xSUSHi> xenex have you tried imagemagick
[09:09] <biotech> if this is not the room to ask about an mmorpg server for ubuntu "linux" could some one tell me where i need to go?
[09:09] <rioghal> Ash-Fox, you might try running it with the command: /path/Songbird & && exit
[09:09] <osfameron> fantastic, the bug report tool for firefox is buggy
[09:09] <xSUSHi> biotech: there are several
[09:09] <osfameron> I'm supposed to attach a file.  Manually.  To something or other.
[09:09] <rioghal> osfameron, lol
[09:10] <xenex> xSUSHi: where can i get that?
[09:10] <ashzilla> roryy: that worked perfectly. Thanks :]
[09:10] <xSUSHi> xenex; to be successful in linux you must google.      but to save you a click, go to http://www.imagemagick.org
[09:10] <biotech> xSUSHi, i googled for a bunch with no results, could you give me some ideals?
[09:10] <ashzilla> mc__: that is also an option that satisifies what I was looking for, thanks.
[09:10] <jrs> hy, i tried to burn the xubuntu iso but my cd-rom-burner only burns a little piece of the iso :s how can i fix this?
[09:11] <`4aFkA`> icepack i need the vmware player to instal ubuntu over windows in one partition ??
[09:11] <xSUSHi> biotech: WoW runs in Linux =)    what kind of mmorpg u looking for?
[09:11] <xenex> xSUSHi: i'm not looking to use linux, i just want to take ubuntu's icons.
[09:11] <icepack> '4aFkA'- are you installing vmware in linux or windows?
[09:11] <LadyNikon> xSUSHi: doesnt WoW need winex to run in linux?
[09:11] <biotech> xSUSHi: something small, 2d tiled based like x-realms
[09:11] <`4aFkA`> in windows
[09:12] <`4aFkA`> icepack in windows
[09:12] <xenex> xSUSHi: www.xenex.weeki.org/desktop.png -- this is my progress so far on making windows look like ubuntu.
[09:12] <xSUSHi> xenex: the icons are in png format ... simply convert them to jpg
[09:12] <ph8> hey guys, a program i was using successfully with GCC 3.x doesn't compile now with 4.x - is there any way to get 3.x on my ubuntu system to compile it or any sort of compatibility mode for gcc 4.x?

[09:12] <xSUSHi> LadyNikon yes but it's cheap
[09:12] <allz> ljl is it installd then?
[09:12] <Kingsqueak> ph8: apt-cache search gcc | sort
[09:13] <xSUSHi> biotech: tried tibia?
[09:13] <rioghal> xenex, good job
[09:13] <LjL> allz: it looks installed to me, not sure why glxinfo says otherwise
[09:13] <`4aFkA`> icepack in windows..
[09:13] <pcgigabyte> Can someone give me a updated xgl install for ubuntu dapper with nvidia card?
[09:13] <xenex> rioghal: thanks :P i just need to get the icons then i'm set :D
[09:13] <allz> :S
[09:13] <biotech> no, does it require a lot of resources? i got a cheap pc.
[09:13] <icepack> '4aFka'- then all you need is an ubuntu disk. you start vmware workstation, create a new machine under linux-ubuntu. then put the ubuntu cd in, and start up the machine. it'll run ubuntu in a window after you install ubuntu
[09:13] <Kingsqueak> ph8: also try   gcc<tab><tab>  you may already have other versions installed
[09:13] <LadyNikon> xSUSHi: cheap is relative to the amount of cash you have ;)
[09:13] <mc__> ashzilla: you're welcome
[09:13] <Kingsqueak> ph8: to make a compiler use one, just set CC=<gcc you want>
[09:14] <rioghal> LadyNikon, lol

[09:14] <Kingsqueak> ph8: err for a Makefile to use a particular gcc rather
[09:14] <pcgigabyte> Can someone give me a updated xgl install for ubuntu dapper with nvidia card?
[09:14] <pcgigabyte> Can someone give me a updated xgl install for ubuntu dapper with nvidia card?
[09:14] <rioghal> pcgigabyte, tried #xgl
[09:15] <Alter-Ego> is there a web cam program for ubuntu ?
[09:15] <xSUSHi> xenex: cool!   yeah just use image magick to convert the png's to jpg
[09:15] <manmadha> mamzers555, ohh god at last it is working
[09:15] <biotech> brb
[09:15] <Alter-Ego> that allows you to chat ?
[09:15] <mamzers555> manmadha; fine
[09:15] <jrs> hy, i tried to burn the xubuntu iso but my cd-rom-burner only burns a little piece of the iso :s how can i fix this?
[09:15] <Kingsqueak> Alter-Ego: apt-cache search webcam
[09:15] <xSUSHi> jrs: u sure the download went ok?
[09:15] <manmadha> mamzers555, dude...can u tell me how to open it in terminal
[09:15] <manmadha> ?
[09:15] <jrs> i downloaded like 654mb or something
[09:16] <jrs> so i guess all went great
[09:16] <Kingsqueak> Alter-Ego: oh with chat, not really other than gnomeeting if that does what you want"
[09:16] <xSUSHi> jrs: i use gnomebaker for burning
[09:16] <mamzers555> manmadha; after ./configure, did you enter 'make'?
[09:16] <`4aFkA`> icepack i try with Microsoft Virtual Machine.. and i put the disk... then i enter the instalation of ubuntu but the process is very slow and the display is unreadable
[09:16] <manmadha> yaaa
[09:16] <lifepositive> hello
[09:16] <jrs> it burns iso's?
[09:16] <xSUSHi> jrs yeah works great
[09:16] <manmadha> mamzers555, make .....>make install
[09:16] <mamzers555> manmadha; then in terminal start it with 'gaim'
[09:16] <biotech> xSUSHi: im looking for somthing i can run on my pc, run my on server, i didnt see a download for that, just the client
[09:16] <hilde> ik ben een netboot aan het proberen maar het lukt niet. Ik volg nu de volgende stappen van hier http://wiki.koeln.ccc.de/index.php/Ubuntu_PXE_Install
[09:16] <nandhp> I recently upgraded to edgy. It failed on irda-utils, then froze before I could get around to fixing it (a different problem), so I had to run dpkg --configure -a manually after starting back up. This seems to have worked, except that when I start up, I get a 5minute delay between "ts: Compaq touchscreen protocol output" in the module loading and "Loading manual drivers". Is this a known problem?
[09:16] <jrs> how do i install/start it?
[09:16] <manmadha> ohh
[09:17] <hilde> oops
[09:17] <Kingsqueak> Alter-Ego: it's called Ekiga now btw, I didn't know the name changed

[09:25] <nandhp> revartj, try using Graphics->XSane. I can't help you very much using it though. But if it finds a scanner it should work.

[09:29] <abo> fbc, lifepositive - I'll remember that when I visit Australia, I'm not from Australia, these are not my initials, I guess  we will be kicked out if we don't stop spamming the channels with  irrelevant content ;-)

[09:30] <dubiboy> anyone know how to disable Gnome shortcut alt-right_button ?
[09:30] <jean> Ok Tks friends...!!!!
[09:30] <Bobby_Easland> nanaki-> sudo apt-get install sambafs
[09:30] <lifepositive> xSUSHi: ill try
[09:30] <kikokos> hi
[09:31] <nanaki> did not work it says not avaible package
[09:31] <kikokos> how to encode cdaudio to mp3?
[09:31] <Bobby_Easland> then enable your universe repository
[09:31] <SilentDis> quick question:  I'm running ubuntu, but would like to have the kde environment available to me.  can Gnome and KDE be run in 'paralell', what package do I need to select, and how do you 'switch' between the 2?
[09:31] <xSUSHi> dubiboy: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts
[09:31] <kikokos> my sound-juicer make a core dumped so something else please
[09:31] <hilde> for what stands subnet in the line ? subnet <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:31] <probins> silentdis
[09:31] <hilde> should it be <IP_ADDRESS> or 254
[09:31] <probins> yeah I just did sudo apt-get install kde
[09:31] <probins> from gnome
[09:31] <probins> then logoff
[09:31] <djsroknrol> hello everyone
[09:31] <probins> click options in the corner
[09:32] <probins> and you can use kde
[09:32] <nandhp> It should probably be kubuntu-desktop, though
[09:32] <rioghal> SilentDis, gnome apps can easily run in kde and vice versa  youll need to install  kubuntu-desktop to get kde and youll have to log out and back in (choosing the desktop you want to use) in order to use the one you want
[09:32] <dubiboy> xSUSHI: I tried that but it that combination is not there
[09:32] <kikokos> my sound-juicer make a core dumped so something else please for make mp3 from audiocd
[09:32] <nandhp> and your display manager/login screen should let you choose which session.
[09:32] <kikokos> or make mpc from audiocd
[09:32] <SilentDis> rioghal:  thanks!  off to work with me, and the 'puter has some downloading to do :)
[09:33] <fbc> lifepositive: I found something that will do it.. http://sourceforge.net/projects/gotmail/
[09:33] <fulhack> Hello. Any ideas on if I can make the gnome desktop not display icons?
[09:33] <rioghal> Silivrenion, :)
[09:33] <probins> ive spent a week trying to get snd_usb_audio to work too enable my usb midi device
[09:33] <nanaki> Can anyone help me to get samba running good under gnome and not terminal. I have problems with "can't locate xxx since it is not a folder"
[09:33] <dubiboy> fulhack: which icons?
[09:34] <kikokos> has anybody idea for convert cdaudio to mp3 without ripping just encode?
[09:34] <fulhack> dubiboy: The desktop icons, directories and such
[09:34] <Jowi> hilde, subnet <IP_ADDRESS> is the "network" where 192.168.123.x is the individual computers. <IP_ADDRESS> is normally a router and 254 is the broadcast address.
[09:35] <probins> nanaki - samba to connect to a windows pc - I just click "places" at the top and navigate to the netwok pc
[09:35] <hilde> thx Jowi
[09:35] <nandhp> fulhack: You can hide the computer icon and home icon and stuff by opening gconf-editor and opening /apps/nautilus/desktop
[09:35] <Kingsqueak> kikokos: you have to do both, have to rip it, in order to encode it
[09:35] <dubiboy> fulhack: gconf-editor then apps->nautilus->desktop
[09:35] <lifepositive> fbc: thats amazing
[09:35] <nanaki> Probins, where can I find the "places" thing?
[09:35] <probins> you running ubuntu?
[09:35] <fulhack> ah, thanks guys
[09:35] <Kingsqueak> kikokos: use yaret, grip, etc. they'll do it in once process but it's still two things underneat
[09:36] <kikokos> Kingsqueak: yes but it take me one hour
[09:36] <probins> on my gnome system it is at the top between apps and system
[09:36] <lifepositive> kikokos: what does?
[09:36] <dubiboy> xSHUSHI: any ideas - since I have already spent over an hour trying to disable alt rightclick
[09:36] <Kingsqueak> kikokos: just a slow drive or machine...not much you can do about that
[09:36] <lifepositive> kikokos: what else you got to do with the hour? LOL
[09:37] <lifepositive> kikokos: its not like you dont have any free time LOL
[09:37] <kikokos> Kingsqueak: :)
[09:37] <fbc> lifepositive:  Well, Thank you.  My wife said the same thing last night. :-p
[09:37] <LadyNikon> O.O
[09:37] <jrs> xSUSHi, hmm when i try to burn iso to disk it says that the cdrom drive is unmounted or something.. it doesnt burn at all :s
[09:37] <lifepositive> fbc: :lol :)
[09:38] <lifepositive> fbc: too bad she was talking about how small it was
[09:38] <fulhack> That worked out great, Never used that settings editor before. Nice stuff. While I'm at it, can I make gnome switch desktops when I drag a window to the desktop's end?
[09:38] <fbc> lifepositive:  ouch
[09:38] <spudgunner> Network Manager is acting funny for me: nm-applet simply fails to see my wireless card, but everything else can see it just fine, is there a .conf file for nm-applet?
[09:38] <lifepositive> fbc: is it true that your wife calls you pee-wee sometimes?
[09:38] <kikokos> lifepositive: my life seems to be slowly :P but I really want fast program to make mp3/,pc from audiocd do u know some?
[09:39] <Jowi> jrs, try to get the full error. the cd writer should not be mounted while burning a iso.
[09:39] <cmweb-admin> Is any one good with printers such as Lexmark. I got mine installed but when i go to print it succedes and then stops ubruptly
[09:39] <lifepositive> kikokos: get a faster system then :)
[09:39] <nanaki> I need help to get my Samba back working. I can't browser to my windows PC over Network servers
[09:39] <Kingsqueak> spudgunner: other wifi apps interfere with it, you need to stop the other ones and clean up /etc/network/interfaces so that only the 'lo' interface is there
[09:39] <cmweb-admin> Though it does not start
[09:39] <lifepositive> fbc: did you get it working?
[09:39] <dabaR> nanaki: and the network servers run ubuntu w/ samba?
[09:40] <nanaki> Yes with Samba
[09:40] <kikokos> lifepositive: :)
[09:40] <nanaki> Dabar: yes
[09:40] <tomer> i need help
[09:40] <spudgunner> Kingsqueak: only lo?? wouldn't i want to list my cards? or is gnome going to do it automagically
[09:40] <lifepositive> kikokos: you cant get blood out of a stone :)
[09:40] <tomer> i need help
[09:40] <jrs> Jowi, i get this error
[09:40] <nanaki> dabar: I upgraded to edgy and since then it doesn't work anymore.
[09:40] <jrs> Error mounting /media/cdrom0.
[09:40] <jrs> umount: /media/cdrom0 is not connected or something
[09:40] <Kingsqueak> spudgunner: nm likes to sort of take over, it will manage wired and wireless on your same system for you
[09:41] <Kingsqueak> spudgunner: just comment out the existing entries , don't remove them
[09:41] <pianoboy3333> What can I do with composite enabled metacity?
[09:41] <Kingsqueak> spudgunner: that way if you have trouble you can undo that
[09:41] <lifepositive> fbc: did you get it working yet?
[09:41] <dabaR> nanaki: OK. What did you upgrade to edgy? the samba computer? How many computers are there in total?
[09:41] <Jowi> jrs, and what are you trying to do? mounting a cd or burning it?
[09:41] <spudgunner> Kingsqueak: thats what i did... now to reload the applet...
[09:42] <jrs> i'm trying to burn xubuntu iso to a cd through Ubuntu, but it doesn't work properly Jowi
[09:42] <Kingsqueak> spudgunner: yeah be sure wifi-radar if you installed it is not running
[09:42] <fbc> lifepositive:  working on it now
[09:42] <Jowi> jrs, do you get that error before, during or after the burn?
[09:42] <nanaki> dabar: I only use the laptop and it is my own network. I use it to move some files from laptop to be and back. and I upgraded fully to edgy.
[09:42] <Kingsqueak> spudgunner: what happens is the other utils take over the interface so another app can't configure it
[09:42] <cmweb-admin> Did any one recieve my last transmition?
[09:42] <lifepositive> fbc: im ignorant of perl scripts!  can you teach me to get it working once you worked it out?  please?
[09:42] <dubiboy> Does anyone know how to disable the alt-rightclick shortcut. I have tried System/Preferences/KeyBoardShortcuts but it is not listed there.
[09:43] <jrs> jowi i get it before
[09:43] <Le_Murphant> Hello, i'm new to linux, comming from windows, and I can't figure out how to open bin files
[09:43] <Le_Murphant> could someone help me out plz?
[09:43] <dabaR> nanaki: you have a laptop, that you are trying to use on a network you were able to use it before, and the only thing that changed is you upgrading the laptop to edgy?
[09:43] <Kingsqueak> Le_Murphant: you don't really, they are compiled binaries, you just run them
[09:43] <nandhp> dubiboy: Preferences->Windows, try changing Alt to something else
[09:43] <nanaki> dabar: Yes that is right.
[09:43] <lifepositive> fbc: would that be ok?
[09:43] <spudgunner> Kingsqueak: i'm not running any wireless apps other than NetworkManager and nm-applet
[09:43] <jrs> Jowi,  i'm getting the error befor it starts to burn
[09:44] <Kingsqueak> Le_Murphant: if you mean run them, just type the name and hit <return> or  ./<name of the application>
[09:44] <Jowi> jrs, so it is ok. to burn an iso: insert the empty cdr/cdrw (do not mount it) and then burn it. you will get an error if you try to mount it because the cd is empty.
[09:44] <Kingsqueak> spudgunner: should be good then
[09:44] <spudgunner> Kingsqueak: reloading the applet doesn't help, when is the config file checked?
[09:44] <cmweb-admin> Kingsqueak, do you know aanything about Lexmark Printers?
[09:44] <grimboy> If my processor is a Celeron M then should I get the 686 kernel?
[09:44] <dabaR> nanaki: so how do you access the share?
[09:44] <Kingsqueak> spudgunner: you may need a reboot, the underlying daemon is network-manager maybe that needs a restart, then nm-applet
[09:44] <Kingsqueak> cmweb-admin: they work?
[09:45] <Le_Murphant> I downloaded Realplayer, and it came as a .bin file on my desktop, clicking it doesn't do anything
[09:45] <Kingsqueak> cmweb-admin: I use a ton of them via cups on the job
[09:45] <LjL> Le_Murphant, you can get realplayer packaged, no need to download a .bin
[09:45] <lifepositive> LjL: hello
[09:45] <cmweb-admin> Kingsqueak, i got mine installed and everything it wont print though, i goes to a job then the job stops
[09:45] <CientificoLoco> how do I expand the memory of my aMSN for to add emoticons, 'coz the fisrt I added it was erasing...
[09:45] <nanaki> sabar: I always used Places-Network Servers and then browsed to it, but instead folder icons I get just a paper icon
[09:45] <cmweb-admin> kingsqueak, then wont pront
[09:45] <Le_Murphant> How do I do that Lifepositive?
[09:45] <cmweb-admin> print*
[09:45] <Kingsqueak> cmweb-admin: when you run gnome-cups-admin it sees the printer and says it's ready?
[09:45] <Le_Murphant> Eer, I mean LjL
[09:46] <cmweb-admin> yes
[09:46] <xamox> What torrent software does everyone recommend? I want it to run as a service where I could maybe connect to it via webbrowser and add torrents. Is this possible?
[09:46] <Kingsqueak> cmweb-admin: can it print a test page?
[09:46] <LjL> Le_Murphant: i think it's in dapper-commercial
[09:46] <jerp> I've got a mount error "mount: /dev/ is not a block device
[09:46] <cmweb-admin> il try it
[09:46] <jrs> Jowi,  i'm not mounting the cd :( it just gives me an error, i'll show u a screenshot
[09:46] <spudgunner> Kingsqueak: got it, the config file did it.  I just had to killall NetworkManager to force a reload
[09:46] <Kingsqueak> spudgunner: there you go, nm is pretty nice
[09:46] <spudgunner> Kingsqueak:  thanks!
[09:46] <spudgunner> Kingsqueak: oh i know, i missed it when it stopped working : P
[09:46] <dubiboy> nandhp: Nothing there about remapping or removing this combination?
[09:46] <cmweb-admin> kingsqueak, it says printing then it goes to the interface then says Stoped: Job Stoped
[09:47] <Kingsqueak> cmweb-admin: does your printer show any errors?
[09:47] <cmweb-admin> where
[09:47] <Kingsqueak> cmweb-admin: lights look normal, not flashing, no jams, ink is good etc
[09:47] <cmweb-admin> on it self
[09:47] <Kingsqueak> yeah
[09:47] <fulhack> Any clues on if I can activate dragging and dropping windows between different desktops in gnome? Like I can in beryl and emerald?
[09:47] <cmweb-admin> All it says is the line is in use and thats because im online
[09:47] <Kingsqueak> cmweb-admin: this an attached printer or network?
[09:48] <LjL> Le_Murphant: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RealplayerInstallationMethods
[09:48] <jrs> Jowi, never mind, now it looks like it's running properly... think it was a bug...
[09:48] <cmweb-admin> its an x125 no its local
[09:48] <Le_Murphant> LjL: Ty
[09:48] <Jowi> jrs, ok. glad it sorted itself out
[09:48] <dabaR> nanaki: you never had to configure anything to get that working?
[09:48] <CientificoLoco> LjL, what messenger do you use?
[09:48] <jrs> yeah
[09:48] <Kingsqueak> cmweb-admin: I would delete it in gnome-cups-manager and configure it again
[09:48] <jrs> thanks for the support Jowi
[09:48] <cmweb-admin> ok
[09:48] <LjL> CientificoLoco: uh?
[09:48] <LjL> lifepositive hi
[09:48] <CientificoLoco> LjL, ah, like MSN...
[09:48] <nanaki> dabar: never had to configure anything. Always found the network
[09:49] <LjL> CientificoLoco: ah - none of them
[09:49] <jrs> btw
[09:49] <dabaR> nanaki: how about if you use places connect to server, can you connect that way?
[09:49] <lifepositive> Le_Murphant: do what?
[09:49] <jrs> is xubuntu 6.10 stable??
[09:49] <Kingsqueak> jrs: should be, yes
[09:49] <nanaki> dabar: how do I do that. I tried it but it confuses me
[09:49] <superkirbyartist> Yes it works pretty well.
[09:49] <xamox> anyone know why I can mount a harddrive but when I put it in my fstab it keeps complaining it has errors and tries to run e2fsck on it?
[09:49] <cmweb-admin> kingsqueak. Ok i got it re-installed but still the same
[09:49] <ivx> hello, when i open the printers it lists one, but it won't let me remove it, and it says one job and ready, but does not show any jobs. also in my panel it has a printer icon, i stopped cups and restarted but it just pops back up
[09:50] <CientificoLoco> LjL, shy...
[09:50] <Kingsqueak> cmweb-admin: not sure, try linuxprinting.org maybe for any model specific issues
[09:50] <keelbill> hello
[09:50] <grimboy> keelbill, Lo
[09:50] <dabaR> nanaki: choose windows share, enter server name(the netbios name, or IP address) then try connecting.
[09:50] <keelbill> please help me if any of you can
[09:50] <superkirbyartist> If you want to vote for Ebuntu name: http://ebuntu.sos-sts.com/poll/
[09:50] <superkirbyartist> It takes 10 seconds at the most.
[09:50] <keelbill> hi grimboy
[09:51] <landexem> I have a Dell laptop with a Intel Wireless PRO 3945ABG card, but it doesn't seem that Edgy can connect to wireless networks.  lspci knows what the card is, but it doesn't work.
[09:51] <landexem> I've read about the ipw3954 driver... why isn't that in Edgy?
[09:51] <nanaki> dabar: that IP adress that has been given to the PC right? and what ya mean with netbios name
[09:51] <grimboy> !justask | keelbill
[09:51] <ubotu> keelbill: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:51] <Kingsqueak> landexem: when you say it can't connect, how are you trying? with what util?
[09:52] <keelbill> ok i've asked this in several channels
[09:52] <Kingsqueak> landexem: do you see eth1 also   ifconfig -a
[09:52] <dabaR> nanaki: the IP address of the windows computer you are trying to access. Each windows computer has a name, and it is shown in the properties of My Computer, under computer name on XP.
[09:52] <jrs> wtf
[09:52] <keelbill> i have installed nvidia beta drivers
[09:52] <matsn> ifconfig -a
[09:52] <jrs> now i cant eject my cd :s
[09:52] <jrs> help?
[09:52] <jrs> :p
[09:52] <keelbill> before installing them i made a xorg.conf backup
[09:52] <grimboy> jrs, Right click and click unmount
[09:52] <grimboy> jrs, (on the cd icon on the desktop in gnome)
[09:53] <Kingsqueak> landexem: what does  'modprobe -l *3945*'  show you?
[09:53] <jrs> doesnt work..
[09:53] <keelbill> well after installing the nvidia drivers i only get 800x600 res and 50 hz lsited on screen resolution
[09:53] <keelbill> no mattre what
[09:53] <keelbill> so anyone has an idea bout it?
[09:53] <landexem> Kingsqueak: Yeah the modules are loaded and I see eth1, but the card can't detect any networks let alone connect to them.
[09:53] <fbc> lifepositive: sure
[09:53] <jokoon> (any website for programming beginners except google.com ?)
[09:53] <Kingsqueak> landexem: k, so the driver is loaded
[09:53] <landexem> eth1 isn't assigned an IP address for sure
[09:53] <nanaki> dabar:nothing happens I entered the IP and clicked connect and the window disappeared
[09:53] <Kingsqueak> landexem: what util are you using to try to connect?
[09:53] <necronudist> does anyone have the trust spacecam 150 portable webcam?
[09:53] <jrs> lol jakoon :p hotbot.com?
[09:54] <jrs> jokoon*
[09:54] <jerp> keelbill, I'd drop the beta drivers since they are still being developed and go to the next highest
[09:54] <nanaki> dabar:wait got something now under network servers
[09:54] <landexem> Kingsqueak: Booting off Edgy x86 live CD, 'System --> Administration --> Networking' and try to enable the wireless card in there.
[09:54] <grimboy> necronudist, Yeah, but I haven't been able to get it working.
[09:54] <keelbill> but i need the beta drivers to run beryl
[09:54] <jerp> typically, betas are in testing
[09:54] <jokoon> bah
[09:54] <lifepositive> fbc: thank you
[09:55] <grimboy> necronudist, But there may be drivers.
[09:55] <Kingsqueak> landexem: ah, not sure with the live-cd, it will definitely work once installed using 'network-manager and network-manager-gnome' via the nm-applet
[09:55] <nanaki> dabar: can it be when I connect to the IP adress that I can get the WHOLE pc connected and can browse any folder in it?
[09:55] <Kingsqueak> landexem: try starting 'nm-applet' from a terminal\
[09:55] <grimboy> keelbill, Have you tried editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[09:55] <necronudist> grimboy mine works, but I see all black
[09:55] <landexem> Kingsqueak: Cool!  Okay so I guess I'll install then.
[09:55] <keelbill> yeah grimboy
[09:55] <Le_Murphant> sry, i'm completely new to linux: from terminal, how do you change your directory to desktop? do you need to type the whole path or just "desktop"? If its the whole path, what is that path?
[09:55] <necronudist> you must use the spc-something drivers
[09:55] <Kingsqueak> landexem: that should put an applet in the system tray, click that and see if it sees networks
[09:55] <keelbill> aven tried my xorg.conf as i had a back up
[09:55] <keelbill> and no luck
[09:55] <jerp> keelbill, how did you get beryl?
[09:55] <it> haha!
[09:56] <keelbill> installed from amaranth's repo
[09:56] <Kingsqueak> landexem: I run a Dell 820 and it has the same driver, works great
[09:56] <Jowi> keelbill, try to insert the output of "gtf 1280x1024 60 -x" into xorg.conf (or whatever resolution refresh rate you want)
[09:56] <it> hi
[09:56] <Kingsqueak> does WEP/WPA/WPA+LEAP no problem
[09:56] <dabaR> nanaki: do you see the computer now? You would have to set up the windows computer to share all the files, which I think can be done by right clicking on a drive icon in My Computer, such as C:
[09:56] <jerp> amaranth doesn't respond to my repository entry :\
[09:56] <keelbill> where do i put that?
[09:56] <it> I no comprehendo
[09:56] <Jowi> keelbill, oops, i meant "gtp 1280 1024 60 -x"
[09:57] <nanaki> dabar: I see both my harddisks and the folders I put up for sharing
[09:57] <grimboy> necronudist, Wow, that has to be the first time I've seen all black mean working.
[09:57] <Jowi> keelbill, in your 'Section "Monitor"'
[09:57] <dabaR> nanaki: then I do not understand what you want changed.
[09:57] <keelbill> i put gtf blah blah on my console
[09:57] <keelbill> lol
[09:57] <necronudist> well, :) I see my hands... see maybe isn't  the right term
[09:57] <keelbill> # 1280x60 @ 0.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: nan kHz; pclk: nan MHz
[09:57] <keelbill>   Modeline "1280x60_0.00"  nan  1280 -2147483648 -2147483648 -2147483648  60 61 64 61  -HSync +Vsync
[09:57] <nanaki> dabar: you helped me already to get back to my PC over my laptop to move files around. Thanks a lot
[09:58] <necronudist> It's like a shado
[09:58] <necronudist> shadow
[09:58] <Jowi> keelbill, yeah that one is wrong. "gtf 1280 1024 60 -x"
[09:58] <necronudist> it means that works
[09:58] <keelbill> ok in front of the other resolutions?
[09:59] <Jowi> keelbill, no, at the end of the Monitor section
[09:59] <dabaR> nanaki: welcome, glad we figured it out. I was looking at a setting in gconf(gconf-editor in a terminal) under system>smb, it shows the workgroup. Maybe if you enter the workgroup of the network there, then you could browse. But it is a guess.
[09:59] <pianoboy3333> How do I check a file with an md5sum?
[09:59] <keelbill> ok done
[09:59] <keelbill> no ""
[09:59] <Jowi> keelbill, 1. in a terminal type in "gtf 1280 1024 60 -x". 2. paste the output from the gtf command at the end of the Monitor section.

[10:01] <necronudist> wow Kingsqueak...can you find something about the spacecam 150 webcam'
[10:01] <necronudist> :D
[10:01] <SurfnKid> is there a floppy i can boot ubuntu with?
[10:01] <necronudist> I give you 5 dollars :)
[10:01] <keelbill> ok done i will restart x
[10:01] <SurfnKid> so i can mount an external drive?
[10:01] <keelbill> brb
[10:02] <grimboy> necronudist, I've just tried it with mine. I'm getting the same thing, really, really dim.
[10:02] <elite_hacker> when i try to use tab completion in bash it refuses to do it unless it believes the file extention is right.  how do i make it not do that?
[10:02] <JPAULEY> I got my machine's wireless card up using ndiswrapper but it stalls -- I have ready that to stop it from crashing I have to change something in the kenrel. How do I get the ubuntu kernel source?
[10:03] <necronudist> ok grimboy... there's no hope for us
[10:03] <Kingsqueak> necronudist: you try using xawtv to view the cam?
[10:03] <hilde> If I want to start dhcp3-server I each time get dhcpd self-test failed. Please fix the config file. the error was:
[10:03] <necronudist> no, camorama and ekiga
[10:03] <Kingsqueak> necronudist: it has adjustments for the image, might be worth trying
[10:03] <hilde> and then nothing is this a bug in Edgy?
[10:03] <necronudist> no it's not a stupid matter of adjustments :)
[10:04] <graveson> my system just hung and upon rebooting and logging in it hangs everytime , just display my panel .i have no idea where to start to troubleshoot this , can anyone help me please :(
[10:04] <necronudist> I'm not searching "ekiga for dummies" :)
[10:04] <Kingsqueak> necronudist: *shrug* had issues with my CCTV cams, and that helped
[10:04] <dabaR> hilde: what command do you start it with?
[10:04] <JPAULEY> Any idea on how to get ndiswrapper to stop crashing and how to get the kernel source for unbuntu?
[10:04] <hilde> dabaR, sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server start
[10:04] <dabaR> graveson: create another user, then try logging in with him.
[10:04] <Jowi> elite_hacker, auto completion does not care if the extension is correct.
[10:04] <dabaR> hilde: try sudo invoke-rc.d dhcp3-server restart
[10:05] <elite_hacker> Jowi: then do you have any idea why is it doing it for me?
[10:05] <Kingsqueak> JPAULEY: apt-cache search linux-source
[10:05] <graveson> dabaR: ok let me try that quickly
[10:05] <hilde> dabaR,  initscript dhcp3-server, action "restart" failed.
[10:05] <JPAULEY> Kingsqueak: will that get the ubuntu one?
[10:05] <Jowi> elite_hacker, yes. you have several files with similar names
[10:05] <lifepositive> fbc: how goes it?
[10:05] <hilde> dabaR, doesn't work
[10:05] <necronudist> thanks Kingsqueak
[10:05] <Kingsqueak> JPAULEY: hopefully it won't get the Mandriva one, but I don't know what your sources.list has in it
[10:06] <graveson> dabaR: that worked ,quite strange what is the cause of  this ?
[10:06] <elite_hacker> Jowi: nope, I just tried it an I'm very sure that it refuses to do it even if there's only one file
[10:06] <JPAULEY> Kingsqueak: All I have to run off is the cd-rom
[10:06] <Kingsqueak> JPAULEY: ah o.k., it's probably there
[10:06] <jerp> apt-get update: "Failed to fetch http://amaranth.selfip.com/dists/edgy/lrm/binary-amd64/Packages.gz  404 Not Found
[10:06] <jerp> "
[10:06] <Kingsqueak> JPAULEY: try  'sudo apt-get install linux-source'
[10:06] <Jowi> elite_hacker, "ls myfile*" only give you one file?
[10:07] <dabaR> graveson: bad config files somewhere...I expect. try logging into safe gnome session, or whatever it is called as your user, choose it from the session login menu
[10:07] <JPAULEY> Kingsqueak: no such source... what do I have to do to make my cdrom be on the source list?
[10:07] <elite_hacker> Jowi: correct
[10:07] <dabaR> hilde: did you just install it?
[10:07] <hilde> dabaR, yes
[10:07] <graveson> dabaR: but i change nothing ,so how there be bad config file ? once logging into the failsafe session ,what do i look for
[10:07] <Amaranth> !nvidiabeta | jerp
[10:07] <ubotu> jerp: For Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft), you can obtain the (unsupported!) 9629 version of the binary NVidia drivers by using one of these repositories: "deb http://amaranth.selfip.com/ edgy lrm" (for x86) or "deb http://ubuntu.lupine.me.uk/ edgy lrm-amd64" (for AMD64)
[10:08] <dabaR> hilde: does the same here on install.
[10:08] <Kingsqueak> JPAULEY: try with the disk in the drive   apt-cdrom add
[10:08] <Jowi> elite_hacker, let's experiment. type in "cat beginningoffilename <tab><tab>" (two tab presses)
[10:08] <dabaR> graveson: nothing see whether you can log in.
[10:08] <hilde> dabaR, ok then its a bug... how can we solve it?
[10:08] <Kingsqueak> JPAULEY: sorry,  'sudo apt-cdrom add'
[10:08] <dabaR> hilde: Well, I will need a few moments to try what little I am familiar with...
[10:08] <elite_hacker> Jowi: ok, that works no matter what the extension is
[10:08] <cmweb-admin> Ok my next q :p Is any one good with optical mice? I have one from Longitech and it jumps when its moved
[10:08] <hilde> dabaR, I'm trying to follow this http://wiki.koeln.ccc.de/index.php/Ubuntu_PXE_Install
[10:08] <LadyNikon> elite_hacker ... heh
[10:08] <SurfnKid> anyone know if i can make a bootable floppy for ubuntu?
[10:08] <Jowi> elite_hacker, yep.
[10:08] <Jowi> :)
[10:09] <LadyNikon> cute.
[10:09] <jerp> amaranth, thanks, I was looking for the Beryl files and stuff
[10:09] <JPAULEY> Kingsqueak: I did it but then I still get "Couldn't find package linux-source"
[10:09] <elite_hacker> Jowi: but if i try like unzip foo.txt, it won't do it
[10:09] <wizard_> Anyone here have Starcraft running on wine?
[10:09] <Kingsqueak> cmweb-admin: try  'xset m 3 3' in an xterm , see if that helps
[10:09] <diederick> hi all
[10:10] <cmweb-admin> kingsqueak, in where?
[10:10] <diederick> I want to partition / format my new usb drive
[10:10] <Kingsqueak> cmweb-admin: in a terminal
[10:10] <Kingsqueak> cmweb-admin: or a Run dialog
[10:10] <diederick> where I can I find information about doing this?
[10:10] <Jowi> elite_hacker, maybe "unzip" want a valid zip file. I have no idea why.
[10:10] <Kingsqueak> JPAULEY: did you make that CD yourself or is it the default install CD?
[10:10] <Kingsqueak> JPAULEY: meaning the image file itself
[10:10] <cmweb-admin> Kingsqueak, Thanks that was a fast fix :D
[10:11] <JPAULEY> Kingsqueak: I burned the ISO -- but it is the standard one
[10:11] <Kingsqueak> cmweb-admin: that won't be permanent though, use the gnome mouse preferences thing or whichever desktop's mouse thing to fix it
[10:11] <pianoboy3333> What are someother good programs that can burn iso's besides nautilus, gnomebaker, and k3b
[10:11] <Kingsqueak> JPAULEY: not sure then, you may need to pass a -d /path/to/file with apt-cdrom to get it fixed
[10:11] <Kingsqueak> JPAULEY: I don't have a CD handy to check
[10:12] <grimboy> necronudist, Turning auto_brightness on helps a bit. I reckon if I adjust the settings enough I can get a semi decent image.
[10:12] <jrib> pianoboy3333: graveman
[10:12] <netcatc> how Do I resolve this problem  Depends: phpapi-20020918?
[10:12] <jrib> pianoboy3333: cdrecord
[10:12] <cmweb-admin> Kingsqueak, what do i change
[10:12] <JPAULEY> Kingsqueak: i'll try it, thanks.... any other idea on how to get ndiswrapper to stop crashing?
[10:12] <jrib> netcatc: what command gave you that problem?
[10:12] <necronudist> grimboy now I'm using ekiga...
[10:12] <Kingsqueak> JPAULEY: do you have network on that box?  Why not setup apt to fetch from the internet?
[10:12] <pianoboy3333> jrib: ok
[10:12] <graveson> dabaR: the failsafe session works ,but i have no icons nothing on my panel etc . is this normal ?
[10:12] <elite_hacker> Jowi: it does it with a lot of applications.  there must be a list somewhere of applications and their 'proper' extensions.  it's strange that i'm the only one who has this problem :/
[10:12] <Kingsqueak> JPAULEY: not sure about ndis, I've never really used it
[10:13] <JPAULEY> Kingsqueak: The whole purpose of this thing is to get my wireless card working :(
[10:13] <Kingsqueak> cmweb-admin: just set the preferences to something that works with your mouse, accleration and threshold are the things that matter
[10:13] <hilde> dabaR, any luck?
[10:13] <Kingsqueak> JPAULEY: got ya
[10:13] <cntb> \o how to add help pages to kde? default is very poor !! unix  man pages only !! I wanted recently to ask help pages in kde for samba for example
[10:13] <JPAULEY> Kingsqueak: the linux drivers installed and I do a mod probe but it doesn't add any new devices -- any ideas on that?
[10:13] <graveson> dabaR:scratch the last comment ,my pc just hung again
[10:13] <cmweb-admin> Its all up kingsqueak so i guess i got it
[10:13] <Kingsqueak> JPAULEY: ndis is a bit different, sometimes you need Windows drivers and firmware files for it to work
[10:14] <Jowi> elite_hacker, unzip does the same with me. if I create a file ending in .zip then autocompletion with unzip works. otherwise it doesn't.
[10:14] <Kingsqueak> JPAULEY: what wireless card is it exactly?
[10:14] <elite_hacker> oh
[10:14] <fadeaway> hi all
[10:14] <JPAULEY> Kingsqueak: Asus wl-138G
[10:14] <Kingsqueak> JPAULEY: you see the wifi guide on the ubuntu site yet?
[10:14] <Kingsqueak> !wifi | JPAULEY
[10:14] <ubotu> JPAULEY: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[10:14] <Jowi> elite_hacker, for example "touch testfile.zip" then "unzip testf<tab>"
[10:14] <elite_hacker> yeah
[10:14] <elite_hacker> it's frustrating
[10:14] <netcatc> anybody knows
[10:15] <dabaR> graveson: Not really sure where to start, I am looking at hilde's issue right now at the same time.
[10:15] <JPAULEY> Kingsqueak: no but I have spent plenty of time on google :(
[10:15] <Kingsqueak> JPAULEY: try that guide first
[10:15] <JPAULEY> Kingsqueak: it came with linux drivers but installing them didn't do jack
[10:15] <SurfnKid> has anyone booted to ubuntu from a flopply?
[10:15] <graveson> dabaR: ok i will pose my question again ,to see if there is someone who can help me
[10:15] <SurfnKid> floppy?
[10:15] <Kingsqueak> JPAULEY: sorry, I've just not ever used an ndis-wrapper based card so I don't have the instant answer for them
[10:15] <graveson> my system just hung and upon rebooting and logging in it hangs everytime , just display my panel .i have no idea where to start to troubleshoot this , can anyone help me please :(
[10:15] <JPAULEY> Kingsqueak: thanks for your help
[10:16] <Kingsqueak> JPAULEY: can you hardwire temporarily just to update/upgrade, might make things simpler
[10:16] <agorf> hello. how can i set up xorg so that it listens on port 6000?
[10:16] <Phat32> I just noticed that my sound does not work on firefox when I try to play flash videos. Is this a common problem? Does anyone know the solution?
[10:16] <Kingsqueak> JPAULEY: it will likely work, just a matter of the effort to figure it out
[10:18] <dabaR> hilde: http://www.howtoforge.com/dhcp_server_linux_debian_sarge try following that, it talks about configuring the server, and it says it is normal that the server does not start on install because it is not configured.
[10:18] <anto> how do i istall flashplayer < 8 ?
[10:19] <Kingsqueak> agorf: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Edgy/RemoteAccess
[10:19] <rioghal> !flashplugin-nonfree
[10:19] <ubotu> flashplugin-nonfree: Macromedia Flash Player plugin installer. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 7.0.68~ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 15 kB, installed size 164 kB (Only available for i386)
[10:19] <elite_hacker> ah, I see how it works.  bash is reading the global bash configuration file in /etc
[10:19] <deejoe> hi.  In Dapper, what should I look for to use as a sound equilizer?
[10:20] <rioghal> AntiSpamBot, i just installed flashplugin-nonfree and it works great
[10:20] <Kingsqueak> deejoe: a plugin for the media player most likely, you could see if any of the alsamixer has tone controls with your card driver
[10:20] <rioghal> anto, i just installed flashplugin-nonfree and it works great
[10:20] <rioghal> bleh tab completion :(
[10:20] <Kingsqueak> hmm 4:20
[10:20] <deejoe>  Kingsqueak: thanks.  I'll look for that.
[10:21] <Phat32> I just noticed that my sound does not work on firefox when I try to play flash videos. Is this a common problem? Does anyone know the solution?
[10:21] <Kingsqueak> deejoe: varies with your soundcard driver and what is supported, xmms has an EQ in the player, but for general system overall EQ, not sure if there is one that is similar
[10:21] <jokoon> Just ... how install RPM files ?
[10:21] <cmweb-admin> Kingsqueak, are you in florida?
[10:21] <jokoon> !rpm
[10:21] <ubotu> rpm is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous).
[10:21] <Kingsqueak> cmweb-admin: Jersey
[10:22] <jokoon> dangerous
[10:22] <rioghal> jokoon, you dont. dont try installing rmp files as it may break things
[10:22] <jokoon> howkeeey
[10:22] <cmweb-admin> i had no idead they had comcast in new jersey
[10:22] <Kingsqueak> Jersey may be a lot of things, but short on broadband it isn't ;-)
[10:22] <jokoon> is rpm the linux's exe ? :)
[10:22] <mark__> jokoon, no
[10:22] <tonyyarusso> jokoon: No, it's Red Hat's package format
[10:22] <Kingsqueak> rpm is a package format, generally for Redhat based systems
[10:23] <Kingsqueak> jokoon: what are you trying to install?
[10:23] <rioghal> jokoon, no, an rpm is a package made for the rehat package manager. ubuntu uses .deb files for packages
[10:23] <dabaR> jokoon: more like setup.exe
[10:23] <jokoon> I remember bittorrent official client was rpm
[10:23] <tonyyarusso> Doesn't have to be
[10:23] <cmweb-admin> Kingsqueak, how i knew: 68-38-166-84.hsd1.nj.comcast.net
[10:23] <jokoon> I did not search a lot for an other file
[10:23] <Kingsqueak> jokoon: do 'apt-cache search bittorrent'  that will show you the clients ubuntu has
[10:23] <cmweb-admin> im going to get booted here in a sec
[10:23] <jokoon> Thanks for the info
[10:23] <Kingsqueak> jokoon: or run synaptic and put bittorrent in the search box
[10:24] <rioghal> jokoon, if youre using ubuntu, you should look for ubuntu .deb packages or stick with the repos
[10:24] <Vardis> anybody have working t10 in linux?
[10:24] <Kingsqueak> cmweb-admin: yeah, that says 'nj' too ;-)
[10:24] <cmweb-admin> kingsqueak: :p
[10:24] <bluefox83> yo..what happened to the ubuntu packages search page?
[10:24] <Kingsqueak> bluefox83: you know about synaptic or 'apt-cache search <whatever>' ?
[10:25] <graveson> how do i change the rights of a user so they have admin rights, i  have an issue and currently i am logged in with a user that has no admin rights
[10:25] <tonyyarusso> bluefox83: Probably just a temporary maintenance or failure.  Try again in a bit.
[10:25] <bluefox83> Kingsqueak, yes smart ass, i'm asking because i am looking for something in dapper, i am running edgy..a friend needs help finding something
[10:25] <Vardis> does ubuntu have hotplug by default? or need install by apt-get?
[10:25] <jrib> graveson: he needs to be in the 'admin' group
[10:25] <Kingsqueak> graveson: 'sudo nano /etc/group'  on the line starting with admin add the user at the end, if you have user foo there, to add bar make it   foo,bar   then log bar out and in again
[10:25] <cmweb-admin> Any one know where some good themes are for ubuntu...
[10:25] <tonyyarusso> graveson: You mean you need a second user with sudo capability?
[10:26] <Kingsqueak> bluefox83: sorry my mind-reading ability is low today

[10:26] <jrs> i still cant burn my xubuntu iso
[10:26] <tonyyarusso> Kingsqueak: Seems like an odd way to do it when you have 'adduser'
[10:26] <mcphail> Vardis: isn't hotplug dead? I think udev does it all now...
[10:26] <jrs> cuz i get the error again :(
[10:26] <Sierra> jrs, what software are you using?
[10:26] <Sierra> jrs, windows or linux operating system
[10:26] <jrs> gnomebaker
[10:26] <jrs> i use ubuntu
[10:26] <Vardis> mcphail, i don't know
[10:26] <graveson> how do i change the rights of a user so they have admin rights, i  have an issue and currently i am logged in with a user that has no admin rights
[10:26] <Kingsqueak> tonyyarusso: I still use vipw too, *shrug* the page with adduser on the wiki has broken syntax so I don't point people there
[10:27] <diederick> when I want to partition/format a new harddrive and want to be able to use it under windows + ubuntu, what type is wise?
[10:27] <tonyyarusso> graveson: You would add them to the 'admin' group.
[10:27] <jrs> Sierra,  i use ubuntu linux
[10:27] <Vardis> mcphail, i try to get working iriver t10 with gphoto but no results
[10:27] <Sierra> jrs, one second
[10:27] <mcphail> Vardis: i'm sure someone will correct me if i'm wrong, but i think that's the case
[10:27] <jrs> ok
[10:27] <rioghal> diederick, vfat ?
[10:27] <Sierra> jrs, i dont know if i have it installed
[10:27] <jrs> me neither lolz
[10:27] <tonyyarusso> diederick: There are ext2/3 drivers available for Windows, otherwise vfat is natively supported on both.
[10:27] <Phat32> Can anyone help me with my firefox sound problem?
[10:28] <jrs> before i should start burning the cd i get this error, half english/half dutch
[10:28] <jrs> Error mounting /media/cdrom0.
[10:28] <jrs> umount: /media/cdrom0 is niet aangekoppeld (volgens mtab)
[10:28] <jrib> Phat32: sound in flash?
[10:28] <diederick> tonyyarusso: and vfat can handle large files? (larger than 4gb) ?
[10:28] <tonyyarusso> diederick: Nope
[10:28] <Vardis> mcphail, so how can i acces device who must seen be gphoto but it not seeing it
[10:28] <Phat32> jrib, Yes
[10:28] <jrib> !flash > Phat32
[10:28] <matsn> jrs: i dont understand german :p
[10:29] <jrib> Phat32: try setting up flash to use aoss as the restricted formats wiki explains
[10:29] <huXfluX> Hello! What antivirus software is the best for a linux distro? clamav, f-prot, avast or other not listed?
[10:29] <vschiavoni> i have a video-tv card and a sblive soundcard. i can't hear any sound while watching the tv..is anyone with my same problem? (ubuntu-edgy here)
[10:29] <gswant> #ubuntu-it
[10:29] <jrs> "is niet aangekoppeld" means is not connected matsn
[10:29] <mcphail> Vardis: not sure. I struggle with hardware questions, i'm afraid! What does dmesg say when you plug it in?
[10:29] <jrib> !virus | huXfluX
[10:29] <ubotu> huXfluX: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[10:29] <cmweb-admin> ljl, why am i baanned from #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:30] <Vardis> i must look in dmesg but lsusb seeing it
[10:30] <Kingsqueak> huXfluX: if you have a mail server that Win client mail goes through, amavisd is something to look at too
[10:30] <agorf> Kingsqueak, thanks
[10:31] <Kingsqueak> huXfluX: http://www.amavis.org/  though you really only need any of this if you have Windows clients
[10:31] <cmweb-admin> ljl, why am i banned from #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:31] <tonyyarusso> Give him time cmweb-admin
[10:31] <Kingsqueak> agorf: no prob
[10:31] <cmweb-admin> He just signed on
[10:31] <jrs> in gnomebaker i get the following error before i start burning an iso: Error mounting /media/cdrom0.                     what is the solution to this problem??
[10:32] <Jowi> jrs, try "graveman" or another burner and see if that works
[10:32] <Kingsqueak> agorf: not sure if that said, but X isn't encrypted so it's not the most secure thing to run, not a great idea over the internet in particular
[10:32] <|Xabbu> Hi @ll! Sorry to ask a "stupid" question, but is there  a package for "pure-ftpd" for ubuntu 6.08? I'm migrating from SuSe and cannot find any package.
[10:32] <jrs> ok Jowi ... i'll try and i'll try and try............
[10:33] <Kingsqueak> |Xabbu: apt-cache search pure-ftpd
[10:33] <LjL> cmweb-admin: i haven't the slightest idea
[10:33] <keelbill> :(
[10:33] <keelbill> still the same
[10:33] <|Xabbu> Kingsqueak: : it doesn't find anything.
[10:33] <Kingsqueak> |Xabbu: if you don't see that, you may need to enable repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list as in universe and multiverse
[10:33] <Jowi> jrs, graveman is quite nice. install it, click on "duplicate cd". select iso in "duplicate from" and you're good to go
[10:34] <tchize> Hello people
[10:34] <Kingsqueak> |Xabbu: read the file, uncomment the repositories there, run 'sudo apt-get update' and try the search again
[10:34] <Jowi> keelbill, if the modeline didn't help you've got a driver issue.
[10:34] <Doow> Could someone help me with apt-pinning? I looked at the guide at http://jaqque.sbih.org/kplug/apt-pinning.html and it seems to only handle prioritizing different repos, I want to pin a package that I installed from an .deb file.
[10:35] <keelbill> aww i can't believe, thi same cfg works on my cousin using a much smaller video card
[10:35] <tchize> i just installed edgy on my computer. At boot time all i get a the blue logo (kubuntu) for about 5 seconds then i get black screen with a blinking cursor. What should i do now??
[10:35] <keelbill> i have fx5500 and's got fx5200
[10:35] <cmweb-admin> Does anyone know how to change a registered name?
[10:36] <scifi> anyone know of a good html editor other than nvu, quanta, bluefish?
[10:36] <Doow> tchize: sounds like a #kubuntu question ^^
[10:36] <Kingsqueak> scifi: has to be a GUI?
[10:36] <Doow> cmweb-admin: registered how?
[10:36] <Kingsqueak> scifi: vim is pretty nice for it
[10:36] <vschiavoni> is anyone using an hauppage bt878 chip-based tv-card with edgy and having sound problems (no sound at all) ?
[10:36] <jrs> Jowi, its started now, hope it'll work... better than gnomebaker, cuz that didn't do anything
[10:36] <Kingsqueak> scifi: or gvim
[10:36] <cmweb-admin> i have my nick passworded
[10:36] <agorf> Kingsqueak, ill have that in mind thanks :)

[10:36] <tchize> doow: well it's a kernel level problem, so no matter the window manager i don't even get something started
[10:36] <jrs> Jowi,  it says operation failed :s
[10:36] <Doow> cmweb-admin: oh, you mean in freenode?
[10:37] <graveson> how i activate the root user,so i can stop 'sudoing'
[10:37] <jrs> after it burns a half a minute
[10:37] <keelbill> brb
[10:37] <rioghal> cmweb-admin, /msg nickserv help register

[10:37] <cmweb-admin> its aalready registered i need to change it
[10:37] <Jowi> jrs, try with a different media
[10:37] <cmweb-admin> from cmweb-admin to cmweb
[10:37] <jrs> different cd?
[10:37] <Kyral> I honestly dislike how Vim indents PHP+HTML
[10:37] <Jowi> jrs, your cd disc might be faulty
[10:37] <tchize> and now am really screwed after that edgy installation :'(
[10:37] <rioghal> graveson, thats not supported configuration and also not a good idea as it decreases the security of the system
[10:38] <Kyral> (ABout the only thing I dislike about Vim)
[10:38] <Kingsqueak> Kyral: you can change that though if you want
[10:38] <jrs> Jowi,  i tried already 15discs or so
[10:38] <mcphail> Kyral: CHANGE IT
[10:38] <jrs> :/
[10:38] <Kyral> Kingsqueak: I'm lazy :P
[10:38] <mcphail> oops caps!
[10:38] <Kingsqueak> Kyral: heh
[10:38] <mcphail> Kyral: sorry - didn't mean to shout
[10:38] <|Xabbu> Kingsqueak: : Thank you!
[10:38] <Jowi> jrs, do you have a cdrw link in /dev ?
[10:38] <Vixus> Damnation, it still refuses to boot!
[10:38] <Kingsqueak> |Xabbu: ah got it eh, good
[10:38] <Vixus> This time it's definitely not a borked DVD
[10:39] <Kingsqueak> |Xabbu: you should really do  'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade'  to be sure you are up to date
[10:39] <jrs> Jowi,  yes i have, else i couldn't start burning
[10:39] <Vixus> Unpacking linux.... booting kernel.... Hang.
[10:39] <dn4> Anyone know of a good usb controller that is like a PS2 controller?
[10:39] <tchize> Vixus: you too have booting problem? :D
[10:39] <ziro01> Hi
[10:39] <Vixus> tchize: I'm trying to boot the live DVD
[10:40] <Vixus> So I can install Ubuntu for fun and profit.
[10:40] <rioghal> profit???
[10:40] <tchize> hohuu
[10:40] <Jowi> jrs, in graveman. go to File -> prefs and click on the External programs tab. is anything missing there?
[10:40] <tchize> It came back to life!
[10:40] <tchize> it just waited about .... 10 minute with a blinking cursor before :s
[10:41] <Vardis> jrs burn in konsole with cdrecord meyby
[10:41] <Vixus> Will the liveCD not boot if I am trying to use a 64-bit distro with my Sempron processor?
[10:41] <jrs> Jowi, you mean when the button is red its missing?
[10:41] <Vixus> Technical answers please. :D
[10:41] <Jowi> jrs, yes
[10:41] <huXfluX> HELLO! If i forget the root password, do i have to edit the /etc/shadow file alone or BOTH the shadow and passwd files ? Is editing /etc/shadow enough ?
[10:41] <jrs> cuz Flac is red
[10:42] <Vardis> jrs flac is audio fileformat
[10:42] <Jowi> jrs, only flac won't make your cds fail. maybe your burner is faulty then (that is only a guess and nothing else)
[10:42] <tchize> Vixus: can you sempron handle AMD 64 bits instructions? I think not :p
[10:42] <LjL> huXfluX: you shouldn't even *have* a root password to begin with ;-) and what about using the "passwd" command, since it's made for that?
[10:42] <jrs> my burner always worked :(
[10:42] <Vixus> tchize: Well, my distributor said it was a 64-bit processor.
[10:42] <Vardis> Vixus, naah
[10:42] <rioghal> LjL, good catch :)
[10:42] <Vardis> sempron is k8 32 bit processor
[10:42] <Vixus> Bh.
[10:43] <Jowi> jrs, I have no idea :-/
[10:43] <cntb> graveson: !sudo
[10:43] <Vixus> Darn,
[10:43] <jrs> Jowi, could it be because of too high speed burning?
[10:43] <cntb> !sudo
[10:43] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[10:43] <|Xabbu> Kingsqueak: : Yes, I had only a few sources and only those "restriced".
[10:43] <jrs> cuz i told him to burn on maximum speed
[10:43] <Kingsqueak> |Xabbu: yeah basically enable them all, make it easy
[10:43] <Jowi> jrs, you can try x2 or x4 and see. it can't hurt
[10:44] <profoX`> I want to use password encryption for an application I am writing.. what encryption is the safest one? sha1 is better than md5 i suppose, but are there other recommendations?
[10:44] <jrs> it can hurt my cd's :p
[10:44] <Vixus> I shall have to go for the i386 version then?
[10:44] <jrs> got only a fiew left
[10:44] <Jowi> jrs, get yourself cdrw!
[10:44] <jrs> i got it
[10:44] <jrs> ^
[10:44] <Vixus> Bah, I'll have to waste my DVDRW on a CD image. :P
[10:44] <jrs> but it doesnt blank too :p
[10:44] <jrs> lol
[10:44] <Vixus> or something.
[10:44] <jrs> just strange error
[10:44] <theD3viL>  which program is for command play$?
[10:44] <Kingsqueak> profoX`: des aes, there are many, what lang are you writing in is the key to what you use
[10:44] <Vardis> Vixus you can i686 use to
[10:44] <jrs> it doesnt burn or blank
[10:44] <Jowi> jrs, it must blank. got to be a faulty burner
[10:45] <Vixus> Vardis: Is there an i686 ubuntu distro?
[10:45] <rioghal> huXfluX, graveson : suppose i wanted to break into your computer.. i know you have a root account and i can try to break into that but if the root account is disabled i cant break into it and i dont know the other user accouns you have :)
[10:45] <theD3viL>  which program is for command play$?
[10:45] <jrs> it always did on shitmzoft windoz
[10:45] <tchize> Vixus: then i am just mixing name, don't take into account what i wrote (still trying to figure why my cpu when out to smoke a cigaret before booting)
[10:45] <Jowi> jrs, graveman -> other operations -> Erase CDRW
[10:45] <Vardis> Vixus, i386 for mi changed to 686
[10:45] <Vixus> Vardis: mi?
[10:46] <Vardis> i mient me
[10:46] <Kingsqueak> profoX`: the password itself is more important really, if you md5 'cat' it can be quickly cracked anyway
[10:47] <Vixus> Vardis: Um, so can I get an i686 Ubuntu distro or must I do some messing about myself?
[10:47] <Vardis> jrs try in komand line cdrecord dev=ATA:0,0,0 file.iso
[10:47] <phanter> hi there. When connecting to my network with my laptop the speed was usually quite slow (up and download speed). After some time I used the same laptop with winxp and speeds went up. Why is the speed low in ubuntu (I am back on ubuntu of course)?
[10:47] <Vardis> Vixus, take i 386 distro it vill change bi hiself to 686
[10:47] <Kingsqueak> profoX`: might want to also look at cracklib2 to enforce strong passwords

[10:47] <dabaR> phanter: wireless?
[10:47] <profoX`> Kingsqueak: i know, but i'm just asking what is best.. storing it plaintext is not an option either now is it :)
[10:48] <phanter> not wireless, wired :0
[10:48] <Kingsqueak> profoX`: yeah just sayin', md5 should be decent enough
[10:48] <Kingsqueak> profoX`: it's good enough for /etc/shadow
[10:48] <phanter> and it is an IBM thinkpad (usually great drivers in linux)
[10:48] <Megaqwerty> how do I set samba to share my files in a different domain (i.e. one different than MSHOME)?
[10:48] <theD3viL> which program is for command play$?
[10:48] <mcphail> Kingsqueak: hmm. not here it isn't
[10:49] <Vixus> So basically... I just install the base distro. :D
[10:49] <rioghal> probins, what are you doing storing text or are you wanting a decent encrypt/decrypt app
[10:49] <Yasu0> n8
[10:49] <LjL> Vixus: uh... yes?
[10:49] <rioghal> profoX`, what are you doing storing text or are you wanting a decent encrypt/decrypt app
[10:49] <Vixus> Here I was thinking I had a 64-bit processor. :(
[10:50] <Megaqwerty> can anyone help me with my samba issue? ^^^
[10:50] <profoX`> rioghal: storing user passwords
[10:50] <LjL> Vixus: look, i'm not sure what you're saying. i386 is the architecture - clearly, few of use actually have a *386* processor, since it's sort of old, you know... but the distribution works with newer ones well enough :D
[10:50] <rioghal> profoX`, ok'
[10:50] <dabaR> Megaqwerty: you installed samba on the computer you want to share files from?
[10:50] <Vixus> LjL: I thought I needed the amd64 distribution
[10:50] <LjL> Vixus: if you have a 64-bit processor, you may decide to install the 64-bit version. but i think most people use the 32-bit version for compatibility purposes
[10:50] <Megaqwerty> dabaR: yes
[10:50] <agent> what is the difference between ubuntu-minimal and ubuntu-standard?
[10:51] <profoX`> so.. what about blowfish? could that be used for storing passwords?
[10:51] <rioghal> probins, if youre looking for an app to do that in a safe way i might suggest mcrypt  i use that for all sevisitive text files
[10:51] <Vixus> LjL: The current issue I am having is that my liveCD won't boot.

[10:51] <LjL> Vixus: well, that's not processor related. where does it hang?
[10:51] <Megaqwerty> dabaR: it is sharing the files fine, just on MSHOME, not the workgroup (domain, whatever) I want it to be on
[10:51] <dabaR> Megaqwerty: well, then you need to change the domain name in /etc/samba/smb.conf or similar, and then all the windows clients have to change their workgroup, which is done by right clicking the my computer icon, then properties, then computer name
[10:51] <Jowi> agent, ubuntu-minimal basicly boots so you can install more things
[10:51] <Vixus> LjL: At "Booting kernel..."
[10:51] <Vardis> i hawe question about edgy do somody know the problem with xorg on amd sempron?
[10:52] <LjL> Vixus: have you verified it?
[10:52] <hult> hey guyz
[10:52] <Xal2> Is there a way to relocate the setup files on an Ubuntu install disk to /ubuntu rather than having everything in the root of the CD?
[10:52] <bz029> Aloha everyone
[10:52] <hult> #need some help
[10:52] <agent> Jowi: and ubuntu-standard? also, which one is installed when doing a basic server install?
[10:52] <Vixus> LjL: Yes. All clear.
[10:52] <hult> just installed ubuntu desktop.
[10:52] <AAA1> Hi all, I'm a complete newbie, is this the place for kubuntu questions?
[10:52] <hult> and my ps/2 mouse isnt working ?
[10:52] <Xal2> There must be a place where the locations of the install files are specified.
[10:52] <Vixus> LjL: Actually, the first time I burned it, verification failed. This time it went fine,
[10:52] <dabaR> AAA1: this and #kubuntu
[10:52] <Xal2> AAA1: go to #kubuntu
[10:52] <AAA1> thanks
[10:52] <Megaqwerty> dabaR: I did, and it still shows me on MSHOME
[10:52] <Jowi> agent, not sure. probably both.
[10:52] <AAA1> will do

[10:53] <dabaR> Megaqwerty: did you restart samba?

[10:53] <Megaqwerty> dabaR: not only that, I rebooted the computer
[10:53] <LjL> Vixus: try adding the "acpi=off" and/or the "noapic" kernel parameter
[10:53] <Vardis> hult did you chek the xorgconfig
[10:53] <AngryElf> has anyone had success with a bcm43xx card in edgy?
[10:53] <dabaR> hult: what does not working mean? it does not earn money? does it appear on the screen at all?

[10:53] <bz029> I have a question about ubuntu and MySQL if anyone here is familiar with those two together... my question is about the debian user that is created in MySQL when i install MySQL from the apt-get
[10:53] <dabaR> Megaqwerty: show me your smb.conf on a pastebin, and show me the exact path of the file.
[10:53] <hilde> dabaR, I don't think that the how-to is related to this problem
[10:53] <hult> dabaR: it works in grub perfect when ubuntu laods it dose not repsond
[10:54] <dabaR> hilde: did you try following it?
[10:54] <hilde> dabaR, if I do dpkg-reconfigure dhcp3-server it won't work correct... it ask a device eth0
[10:54] <bz029> I also want to know if I can use the XGL cool ass graphics/desktop stuff in PPC Ubuntu
[10:54] <LjL> Vixus: disable ACPI the former, something i don't really know the latter. they're known to enable booting on systems where ubuntu doesn't boot, so they're just a standard suggestion we give when the CD fails to boot
[10:54] <hilde> dabaR, no
[10:54] <Vixus> LjL Wil try
[10:54] <hilde> dabaR, I don't understand it

[11:00] <Daviey> lifepositive, no, but shows the ones that are burning the loa
[11:00] <Kingsqueak> actually just    lsof -i   is good enough

[11:37] <bz029> Is there a fix for the remote control password not saving in Edgy? its annoying as I remote to this PC
[11:38] <Vixus> LjL: 64-bit works!! As far as I can see
[11:38] <bz029> Edgy Eft - My "Remote Control" does not save the password I set after reboot. . . is there a way i can fix this?
[11:38] <ph8> Vixus! Great! Would you mind checking if /lib32/libfl.a exists for me?
[11:38] <LjL> Vixus: cool, note however that some things such as flash, wine, win32 codecs, etc, are hard/impossible to use on 64-bit
[11:39] <ph8> LjL: Is that getting fixed?
[11:39] <Vixus> ph8: Hold on, I'm only on LieCD
[11:39] <Vixus> Just waiting for install
[11:39] <ph8> Vixus: might be there on live cd *shrug*
[11:39] <ph8> but much appreciated
[11:39] <cmweb> Well shoot, i had the windows portions avalibal before now their not do i need to reboot
[11:39] <Vixus> ph8: Wish me luck. :)
[11:39] <LjL> ph8: i haven't the slightest idea. most of the stuff that doesn't work is proprietary, so i guess you mostly have to 1) wait and hope 64-bit versions are released 2) hack around
[11:39] <ph8> :)
[11:39] <Xal2> Is there a way to relocate the setup files on an Ubuntu install disk to /ubuntu rather than having everything in the root of the CD?
[11:39] <Vixus> Do you know if I can modify the res during install for my widescreen?
[11:39] <ph8> surely all pcs will be 64 bit eventually :
[11:40] <pianoboy3333> Anyone here ever use CensorNet? Does anyone know of any other good and easy parental control sofware with a gui?

[11:40] <LjL> Vixus: during install, dunno. you can modify it later
[11:41] <Vixus> LjL: Itn eeds to be customised
[11:41] <petro> how long does it take to become proficienct with linux
[11:41] <lakcaj> how long does it take to learn to play the piano?
[11:41] <LjL> petro: unanswerable question, sorry.
[11:41] <Schuyler> hi folks
[11:41] <ispiked> petro: that's a highly subjective question.
[11:41] <Schuyler> where are the libc man pages in Edgy?
[11:42] <slipttees> LjL: no work partition mac osx for writer :'(
[11:42] <Schuyler> they don't seem to be in glibc-doc
[11:42] <petro> how do you speed up the learning process?
[11:42] <van|mugenglider-> hey i was wondering if someone could help with installing ubuntu
[11:42] <mcphail> petro: as long as it takes to open a terminal and type "man whatever" :)
[11:42] <LjL> !info manpages-dev | Schuyler
[11:42] <ispiked> petro: practice more.
[11:42] <ubotu> manpages-dev: Manual pages about using GNU/Linux for development. In component main, is optional. Version 2.34-1 (edgy), package size 1183 kB, installed size 2908 kB
[11:42] <Schuyler> aha
[11:42] <ispiked> where can I paste an image?
[11:42] <cmweb> Can some one tell me how to access my windows drives... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/32824/
[11:42] <Schuyler> you can imagine that "apt-cache search glibc" and "apt-cache search man" wasn't really getting me anywhere ;-)
[11:42] <Xal2> Is there a way to relocate the setup files on an Ubuntu install disk to /ubuntu rather than having everything in the root of the CD?
[11:42] <Schuyler> thanks LjL
[11:43] <Jowi> !commands | petro
[11:43] <ubotu> petro: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).   I have music and movies on it.
[11:48] <mikeym> i'll go look, but I can't access packages.ubuntu.com either
[11:48] <Vixus> "/" only needs 2GB, right?
[11:48] <LjL> mikeym: yes, packages.ubuntu.com definitely has problems
[11:49] <van|mugenglider-> i did, but when i tried to run the live cd it would give me some error messages after the ubuntu screen was loading, so i used fdisk to delete/create the partion, the now everytime i try load it that message pops up
[11:49] <LjL> Vixus: wrong. 2GB seems really, really little
[11:49] <Vixus> oh
[11:49] <Vixus> :D
[11:49] <Vixus> I have 20GB to spare
[11:49] <gnat_x> hi, i'm using xubuntu edgy release in live mode to try and write some files to an existing ntfs/windows XP drive. i'm trying to use ntfsmount, which is present in live mode, but am getting fuse errors. anyone have an insight?
[11:49] <Vixus> 1GB is swap
[11:49] <LjL> Vixus: i usually make / 10Gb, but then i have a separate /home partition
[11:49] <Vixus> ok
[11:49] <Vixus> cool
[11:49] <mikeym> whoops, didn't uncomment some lines in my sources.list
[11:49] <LjL> Vixus: what kind of setup are you thinking about?
[11:49] <mikeym> my bad
[11:49] <Jowi> Vixus, 2GB is not enough for /
[11:49] <dooglus> Vixus: if you have separate partitions for everything in / then you don't need / to be very big at all
[11:49] <Vixus> Am dual-booting
[11:49] <Vixus> is why
[11:50] <Vixus> 40/40 windows/linux
[11:50] <Vixus> sorry
[11:50] <TuTUx> van|mugenglider-, if u dont want ur win/otherOS any more, u can try to boot from the disk(aka. live CD)
[11:50] <Vixus> I have 20GB to install linux on
[11:50] <Jowi> Vixus, if you go for minimal install ubuntu need 2.5 GB just to unpack the files for installation. I would recommend 6GB for /
[11:50] <LjL> Vixus, yes, but what kind of partitioning setup are you thinking of for linux?
[11:50] <Vixus> i have no idea
[11:50] <ispiked> Vixus: I'd make /home the biggest.
[11:50] <humi> is there a way to install ubuntu in text mode using 6.10 livecd? it hangs during boot.
[11:50] <dooglus> Vixus: I only have 3.6G for the whole system, including /home, and am only using 3.2G.  I have KDE, GNOME, XFCE4 all installed no problem
[11:50] <Vixus> I could just dump everything in /
[11:51] <TuTUx> van|mugenglider-, setup the BIOS to boot from ur cd/dvd rom
[11:51] <van|mugenglider-> it doesnt even get the chance to, ive already set it to booting the cd first but that msg still pops up
[11:51] <hilde> I seem to fail to start running dhcp3 can somebody help me!
[11:51] <Vixus> I don't need a seperate partition for /home, do I?
[11:51] <Vixus> what purpose would it sev
[11:51] <LjL> Vixus: well, if you only keep one partition, then just make it 20 gigs. if you want / and /home, i agree with jowi on the approximate size for /. if you make an /usr partition as well, then dunno
[11:51] <Vixus> other than in the event of a reinstall?
[11:51] <philip> can anyone help me view the contents of my windows pc via ubuntu networking?
[11:51] <Vixus> ok
[11:51] <Vixus> thanks
[11:51] <Vixus> 10GB should be fine
[11:51] <ironfroggy> if i get absolutely no errors installing grub, what can i look for as to why it wont go past stage 1.5?
[11:51] <dooglus> Vixus: the point of having a separate partition for /home is that you might well fill up /home, but you don't want to fill up / because it can damage the OS
[11:52] <dooglus> Vixus: but no, you don't have to have a separate /home partition, and I don't
[11:52] <LjL> Vixus: well, if you fill up /home, and it's a separate partition, your system won't go all crazy ;) also, if / becomes corrupted, there's a chance /home doesnt. and then reinstalls, yeah
[11:52] <TuTUx> van|mugenglider-, that souldnt happen...
[11:52] <Jowi> night all
[11:52] <humi> ironfroggy: maybe unsupported file system
[11:52] <LjL> Vixus: anyway if you are *not* going to have a separate /home partition, then i really don't understand your rationale for thinking of making a tiny 2Gb partition
[11:52] <sky123> philip: many of "directives" for allowing you to do so are in smb.conf in /etc
[11:52] <ironfroggy> humi: ext3
[11:52] <humi> ah
[11:52] <sky123> philip: a quick search on ubuntu samba should yield pertinent info.
[11:52] <hilde> nobody?
[11:52] <van|mugenglider-> it is, i just doubled checked
[11:53] <sycho> ironfroggy: I found mine dual boot wouldn't go past 1.5 if I loaded grub onto my windows partition
[11:53] <philip> sky123:  i have been looking i've googles aload of times
[11:53] <TuTUx> van|mugenglider-, try to boot from ur win disk if that's working then probably ur ubuntu disk's problem
[11:53] <ironfroggy> sycho: not dual booting and im installing to the MBR
[11:53] <cmweb> Iw will never go back to windows again..... ahh
[11:53] <van|mugenglider-> i tried both, still same message
[11:53] <humi> ironfroggy: sda?
[11:53] <philip> sky123: i've just got windows to find ubuntu, but ubuntu cant find windows
[11:53] <ironfroggy> humi: what is sda again?
[11:53] <mc__> is the eclipse bug fixed in feisty?
[11:53] <hipitihop> sorry I was away from my terminal and did not notice if someone responded to my NIS problem. If someone did could you please re-respond
[11:53] <Vixus> I've got 3GB swap now
[11:53] <humi> ironfroggy: your first drive (in case of sata)
[11:53] <TuTUx> van|mugenglider-, how abot a floppy disk?
[11:54] <LjL> Vixus: 3Gb swap seems a bit excessive IMHO
[11:54] <Vixus> i know :D
[11:54] <Vixus> how much?
[11:54] <sky123> philip: in /etc/samba/smb.conf there is a workgroup parameter...change it to your workgroup
[11:54] <humi> mc__: what bug?
[11:54] <sycho> ironfroggy, ok. For me I'm dual boot, but when I instaled grub to the MBR on my windows partition I got that error. But when I removed the MBR from my XP partition and installed grub onto my linux partition it worked fine
[11:54] <LjL> Vixus: how much RAM do you have? make your swap at least as big as your RAM.
[11:54] <Vixus> 1GB
[11:54] <Vixus> :P
[11:54] <ironfroggy> humi: oh, its not sata and its hda and grub configured for (hd0) and root at (hd0,0)
[11:54] <van|mugenglider-> ya  tried that, but when i try to run winxp/ubuntu setups, it says it cant run on dos
[11:54] <mc__> humi: the eclipse package in edgy does not work
[11:54] <LjL> Vixus: i think little in excess of 1Gb of RAM will be fine (make it 1.2Gb or so)
[11:54] <gnomefreak> mc__: nothing is fixed in feisty
[11:55] <humi> ironfroggy: hmm, seems fine
[11:55] <ag_> Does anyone know which HDx grub uses for sata disks when you have IDE and sata on a system?
[11:55] <IneedHelp> For some reason I can't connect to my wireless network using my laptop can someone help me?
[11:55] <ironfroggy> sycho: if there is no boot record on the MBR, how do you boot?
[11:55] <mc__> gnomefreak: alright
[11:55] <LjL> Ubotu, please tell IneedHelp about wifi
[11:55] <humi> mc__: that's a shame
[11:55] <TuTUx> van|mugenglider-, ya it can run on dos for xp/ubuntu
[11:55] <mc__> ag_:  sata is sd*
[11:55] <sycho> Like i said I reinstalled the MBR to my linux partition, and have my bios boot that drive first
[11:55] <mc__> humi: a big shame!
[11:55] <cmweb> ljl, i dont know if you remember about 3 hours ago we were talking about apache and php. Do you know what i need to add to what file for php to work.
[11:56] <Vixus> Now I've got this little 1GB of space I can't do anything with because it won't be added to any other partition>...
[11:56] <ag_> mc_:  Thanks, I can't get command line grub to see the partition!
[11:56] <IneedHelp> I can connect using windows but while running 6.06 I can't connect
[11:56] <TuTUx> van|mugenglider-, im not sure, but it really shouldnt happen if u set ur bios right
[11:56] <LjL> cmweb: yes, i was going to tell you, but you quit. weren't you in the process of upgrading to edgy anyway?
[11:56] <van|mugenglider-> ya thats what i dont get it is setup right
[11:56] <ironfroggy> sycho: im not understanding. the MBR cant be on a partition, but definition. and you cant point the bios to a partition, just to a disc.
[11:56] <cmweb> yeah im finishing tonight i got 3 21 MB fiels to download
[11:56] <humi> mc__: try netbeans :)
[11:57] <ladydoor> so when trying to start Emacs w/gtk support on Dapper, it invariably loads for a while and then presents a bunch of meaningless blocks of non-text. When copy/pasted into TTY emacs, these translate into an error talking about how whatever font I've set (or the default font, if none is set) is ``undefined.'' does anybody know what causes this behavior and how to fix it? I've tried setting the font to a number of aliases and full f
[11:57] <ladydoor> ont names pulled from elsewhere in my .Xresources and from xlsfonts and from xfontsel, and i've tried setting these both in my .Xresources and in my .emacs file. anybodby have any info?
[11:57] <LjL> cmweb: then i suggest you want until you have edgy running
[11:57] <TuTUx> van|mugenglider-, if u have more that one hard drive unplug this one and try other one
[11:57] <modified54> got an easy one.  i don't know syntax in the terminal to install a driver w/ ndiswrapper.  do i have to write out the entire file path for the driver or put it somwhere specific?
[11:57] <humi> ironfroggy: what's your root partition?
[11:57] <mc__> humi: netbeans is no alternative ,i use eclipse for rails development
[11:57] <cmweb> ok, thanks then hopefuly next time i talk to yawl il be aan edgy user LOL
[11:57] <humi> mc__: ah..
[11:57] <ladydoor> modified54: if you cd to the dir where the driver is, you can just install from there
[11:57] <sycho> ironfroggy, I know.. I have 2 sata drives in my system.. 1 xp, 1 ubuntu..  I installed the MBR on the ubuntu drive, and pointed my bois to boot my ubuntu drive frist
[11:57] <ironfroggy> humi: hda1
[11:57] <brkamikaze> hi
[11:57] <LjL> cmweb: chances are that in edgy you won't have to do anything manually for php to work. and on the other hand, if you change stuff manually now while in dapper, it could complicate matters later in edgy
[11:57] <hipitihop> Anyone here know how to get a NIS server running ? When starting NIS I get "Starting NIS services: ypserv yppasswdd ypxfrd ypbind [binding to YP server ....backgrounded]
[11:58] <ladydoor> modified54: or you can give the full path, whatever you prefer
[11:58] <ironfroggy> sycho: oh, well im trying to do basically that but without the xp disc
[11:58] <van|mugenglider-> i dont have any at my disposal, im jsut using one of my old cpus with a 2.7gb hd
[11:58] <sky123> modified4: as sudo su, its ndiswrapper -i  somefile.inf
[11:58] <brkamikaze> is it possible to customize Edgy's alternative install CD to make it include my language without the need for a new download every install?
[11:58] <sycho> ironfroggy, I understand. My problem came from XP. not Ubuntu when i got my 1.5 error
[11:58] <humi> mc__: google helps: http://www.radrails.org/ :)
[11:58] <philip> sky123: was aleady correct, i've changed it previously.
[11:59] <TuTUx> van|mugenglider-, 2.7g is a little bit small for ubuntu..
[11:59] <mc__> humi: so what do you mean?
[11:59] <sky123> philip: are you familiar with smbclient and trying to conenct via command line?
[11:59] <mc__> humi: radrails is an eclipse plugin
[11:59] <kameron> can someone help me with a dual monitor setup?
[12:00] <philip> sky123: pretty sure i have but refresh my memory please
[12:00] <van|mugenglider-> o... well either way i still have the problem of the misssing operating system
[12:00] <humi> mc__: oh..
[12:00] <sky123> philip: hang on im refreshin gmy knowledge as well
[12:00] <mc__> humi:  :)
[12:00] <sky123> philip: lol
[12:00] <philip> sky123: thanks for the help :D
[12:00] <TuTUx> van|mugenglider-, try reformat ur hd
[12:00] <humi> mc__: it seems there's no escape from eclipse :)
