[06:55] <nevyn> tag: lufs can do it.
[06:56] <WraithKeeper> chetto
[06:56] <WraithKeeper> tell me wat should do
[06:56] <nevyn> kde can do remote file browsing over ssh using konqueror
[06:56] <tag> so can nautilus
[06:56] <tag> but that's not what I want
[06:56] <brimstone> my usb keyboard produces double letters in the ubuntu netinst, ideas on how to fix this?
[06:56] <jyoungxx> Why am I getting a blank page when logging into the Administrator part of the CUPS web applet?
[06:56] <Hexxenn> Alanya: yeah i'm on dialup and downloading packages and their dependencies on another computer w/ broadband is a pain
[06:56] <paied> you guys overflowed my buffer, why is syskin so pissed?
[06:57] <nevyn> Hexxenn: there are tools to do this
[06:57] <GhettoPuNKkiD> jyoungxx: its disabled perhaps
[06:57] <Hexxenn> nevyn: do tell!
[06:57] <Madpilot> wheels3572, kubuntu-desktop actually isn't an important package, despite the name
[06:57] <CyDrive> yes im sorry im still stuc do i use this command after i download wl_apsta.o? sudo bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware wl_apsta.o
[06:57] <nevyn> does the "Other computer" run some form of linux?
[06:58] <kaervek> I am unable to mount a disk I just formatted to Fat32.  What options do I have to get this working?
[06:58] <WraithKeeper> so bad
[06:58] <Hexxenn> nevyn: unfortunately, no. windows xp :/
[06:58] <kaervek> The note mentions something about a plugin for the filesystem.
[06:58] <nevyn> Hexxenn: there's apt-walkabout if the other computer runs linux
[06:58] <nevyn> Hexxenn: and there's the offline apt guiide if you're using windows but it requires more round trips
[06:58] <tag> hurm
[06:59] <GhettoPuNKkiD> CyDrive: try sudo /usr/share/bcm43xx-fwcutter/install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh
[06:59] <Hexxenn> nevyn: offline apt guide?
[06:59] <nevyn> because you need to get the packages list and then process it on the not connected system
[06:59] <nevyn> Hexxenn: it's covered in the debian user guide but should apply equally well to ubuntu
[07:00] <CyDrive> Than you so much it works like a charm my machine is woring fine than you alot i appreciate your help
[07:01] <jiff> any advantage of ubuntu over suse?
[07:01] <GhettoPuNKkiD> CyDrive: okay, you're welcome, glad you got it worknig

[07:03] <Madpilot> wjehouna, quit the spam, thanks
[07:03] <rob138> can anyone help me fix my firefox sound problem?
[07:03] <Phoul> Shak-, you could partition
[07:03] <rob138> i have tried solutions on the wiki and forums and nothing works.
[07:03] <tag> wow it works
[07:03] <WraithKeeper> i want to change my environment to enlish languae what can i do?
[07:04] <kaervek> watson541, I want to store files on it from both Linux and XP.  Videos, music, etc.
[07:04] <Corporal_Dirge> ubuntu, ou could always create your own live cd with the required codecs, but it's not easy.
[07:04] <WraithKeeper> i want to change my environment to enlish languae what can i do?
[07:04] <Shak-> Phoul: partition my internal HDD you mean?
[07:04] <Phoul> umm
[07:04] <Phoul> yes
[07:04] <watson541> thats not what i asked kaervek
[07:04] <rpedro> WraithKeeper: you need to log out , and when you get to the GDM login screen I think there's an option to change your gnome session language
[07:04] <kaervek> watson541, Don't I need to mount it for that?
[07:04] <Hexxenn> nevyn: what's the URL for the offline apt-get stuff?
[07:04] <Shak-> Phoul: hmm, so how would I go about switching between Windows and Ubuntu?
[07:04] <kaervek> watson541, It shows up in my file browser.
[07:05] <Phoul> Shak-, ubuntu comes with the "grub" boot loader
[07:05] <aeolus> !grub
[07:05] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[07:05] <kaervek> watson541, but when I try to access it, it says it's unable to mount.
[07:05] <Phoul> When you start your computer it will say "windows" "linux"
[07:05] <Phoul> Kinda
[07:05] <rpedro> WraithKeeper: you should check first if you have the english language files installed
[07:05] <nevyn> Hexxenn: http://www.fifi.org/doc/apt/offline.html/index.html
[07:05] <kaervek> watson541, "error: device /dev/sdd1 is not removable
[07:05] <kaervek> error: could not execute pmount"
[07:05] <Lynoure> Shak-: there are ways of installing Linux on a usb drive, even on a usb stick, but I'm not sure how easy that is to do with ubuntu
[07:05] <rob138> everytime i try a flash video site like video.google or homestarrunner, it'll run for about 2 seconds then crash. can anyone help?
[07:05] <Phoul> But its simple and it sets itself up on the install iirc
[07:05] <Corporal_Dirge> Ah, that reminds me. How do I edit grub? I have double entries for Ubuntu.
[07:05] <wheels3572> Madpilot:  I was gonna uninstall some games or the games itself and it said it wanted to remove the unbuntu desktop as well
[07:05] <rpedro> WraithKeeper: System >> Administration >> Language Support
[07:05] <Phoul> Corporal_Dirge, do you have double entrys or diffrent kernels
[07:06] <wheels3572> what is it with removing desktops
[07:06] <Hexxenn> nevyn: thank you
[07:06] <Shak-> Phoul: so how big a partition would this require
[07:06] <Corporal_Dirge> Same kernel
[07:06] <WraithKeeper> thank rpedro
[07:06] <kaervek> Corporal_Dirge, gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[07:06] <Madpilot> wheels3572, ubuntu-desktop package doesn't really matter, except that you'll need to re-install it when it's time to upgrade
[07:06] <Corporal_Dirge> thanks
[07:06] <rpedro> WraithKeeper: np
[07:06] <Phoul> Shak-, im not sure im running windows and ubuntu on a 80 gig
[07:06] <kaervek> watson541, did that make any sense?
[07:06] <Shak-> oh, so you have it done already
[07:06] <jiff> how much room does a ubuntu partition need
[07:06] <aeolus> Shak- and Phoul: GRUB replaces the Windows boot loader
[07:06] <Madpilot> Shak-, Ubuntu needs at least 3Gb to install, 5Gb+ would be better
[07:07] <WraithKeeper> rpedro how can i check if i have install english language files>
[07:07] <Phoul> aeolus, i knew that already lol
[07:07] <aeolus> Oops
[07:07] <rpedro> WraithKeeper: System >> Administration >> Language Support , and verify if 'English' is checked. if not, check it , and hit 'Apply'
[07:07] <Shak-> so I would have to use GRUB to boot into windows as well then?
[07:07] <ic56> need licq CLI help.  Starts up but every attempt to send a message results in error.  How do I find out if it's connected to a server?
[07:07] <richiefrich> !mp3
[07:07] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  -  See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html  -  But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[07:08] <aeolus> Shak-: Yes. GRUB can bot Windows.
[07:08] <aeolus> *boot
[07:08] <Lynoure> Shak-: not "have to" when you start your computer, a menu will appear. it's simple, and easy, really
[07:08] <Corporal_Dirge> kaervek, oops, looks lik they were diff kernels. 23 vs. 26
[07:08] <WraithKeeper> thanks rpedro
[07:08] <wheels3572> Madpilot:  Is that the same for all desktops?  So it would be safe to remove games and have it remove ubuntu-desktop without screwing up Ubuntu itself
[07:08] <kaervek> Corporal_Dirge, You can remove the 23 from the list. I had the same issue.
[07:08] <Shak-> hmm, is there a guide anywhere on how to do this?
[07:08] <Madpilot> wheels3572, yes. There are also kubuntu-desktop & xubuntu-desktop packages, if you're running Kubuntu or Xubuntu
[07:08] <brimstone> when i push down keys on my usb keyboard after grub, it gives me double keys, does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
[07:08] <Shak-> like, step by step, I dont want to trash anything
[07:09] <aeolus> Shak-: What version Windows?
[07:09] <Madpilot> Shak-, have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WindowsDualBootHowTo
[07:09] <WraithKeeper> but in my system -administration-have no option named language support
[07:09] <Corporal_Dirge> kaervek, thanks. 23 stopped working and I did a reinstall.
[07:09] <Shak-> aeolus: XP Home SP2
[07:09] <WraithKeeper> can i use command to call it out?
[07:09] <abdul> can someone show how to get videos to workon live cd?
[07:10] <WarOfAttrition> just try it, if it fails then windows was unfit to survive
[07:10] <WarOfAttrition> newton's law
[07:10] <aeolus> Can Ubuntu setup resize an NTFS partition?
[07:10] <WarOfAttrition> I mean darwin
[07:10] <WraithKeeper> repdro
[07:10] <JamesRasmussen> thank god
[07:10] <Corporal_Dirge> abdul, the live cd doesn't have a lot of apps or codecs, you'll have to either make a live cd or find another media friendly distro.
[07:11] <Shak-> "Although the Ubuntu installer does now include support for resizing NTFS partitions, it is not 100% effective"
[07:11] <abdul> Corporal_Dirge, ok i see
[07:11] <JamesRasmussen> where can i get help?
[07:11] <aeolus> oh
[07:11] <vinboy> what is sun jdk's package name?? i can't find it
[07:11] <Lathiat> sun-java5-jdk
[07:12] <wheels3572> Madpilot:  I am running all 3 I have switched between Sessions alot trying to figure out what I like for a desktop lol
[07:12] <vinboy> thx
[07:12] <Shak-> aeolus: hmm, no write-access to NTFS partitions? that means I cant save anything basically?
[07:12] <Madpilot> wheels3572, cool, I run Ubuntu myself, but I like Xubuntu too - not such a KDE fan, though
[07:12] <keeperofdakeys> i tired to get ubuntu to read my ntsc and fat32 disks, someone sent me to a page about it but it didn't work
[07:12] <JamesRasmussen> I need help i've already tried to read the website and i am stuck
[07:12] <matti> Shak-: Well, not exactly.
[07:12] <Madpilot> Shak-, pretty much - you can set up a fat32 partition to be shared between Win & Linux, though
[07:13] <matti> Shak-: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=23836054&forum_id=2697
[07:13] <GhettoPuNKkiD> keeperofdakeys: www.linux-ntfs.net
[07:13] <GhettoPuNKkiD> or .org
[07:13] <GhettoPuNKkiD> one of the two
[07:13] <matti> Madpilot: This is not the only solution.
[07:13] <aeolus> Shak-: I heard about this new driver called "ntfs-3g" that will allow direct writes to NTFS but I don't knwo much about it
[07:13] <keeperofdakeys> ok
[07:13] <Madpilot> JamesRasmussen, just start asking questions, people will help if they can
[07:13] <rpedro> WraithKeeper: what language is you Gnome interface using right now?
[07:13] <amit> got any sollution?
[07:13] <filemover> i fixed it
[07:13] <matti> aeolus: "ntfs-3g" works very well.
[07:13] <JamesRasmussen> When I boot into ubuntu I hear what i think is the boot sound but i get a blank screen and my monitor goes into power off mode I think what i need to do is install the fglvx drive for ATi
[07:13] <wheels3572> Madpilot: are you an op in here?
[07:14] <WraithKeeper> can chinese
[07:14] <WraithKeeper> chinese
[07:14] <WraithKeeper> i use chinese
[07:14] <Madpilot> wheels3572, I am, actually
[07:14] <Shak-> matti: so I install that driver after installing Ubuntu?
[07:14] <WraithKeeper> but some software all display disorderly code
[07:14] <wheels3572> Madpilot:  Ok I was gonna ask to pm you but your an op so I think that's outta the question lol
[07:14] <rpedro> WraithKeeper: It's probably named different depending on which language, it should be a menu item that as a icon with two flags
[07:14] <WraithKeeper> i boring
[07:14] <Shak-> ahh, I have to mount each time
[07:14] <Madpilot> wheels3572, go ahead - thanks for asking first
[07:14] <amit> got any sol?
[07:15] <wheels3572> Madpilot:  Oh ok thanks :)
[07:15] <matti> Shak-: Yep, you can, but this is very fresh thing, and might not be in any repository yet.
[07:15] <matti> Shak-: But, you can look at linux-ntfs maybe.
[07:15] <rob138> Hi, i keep getting a "bus error" in firefox which crashes it, i have noticed it from pressing the adblock button as well as trying to get into a certain site, what is causing this?
[07:15] <WraithKeeper> i can't find this icon
[07:15] <WraithKeeper> rpedro should i call it out in terminal?
[07:16] <JamesRasmussen> is the ATi X800XL supported by ubuntu?
[07:16] <matti> rob138: Looks like hardware issue, but also problem with wrong drivers can produce this error.
[07:16] <rob138> matti, it hadn't been a problem before, but i had tried tweaking firefox to get sound working.
[07:16] <matti> rob138: Since, the "Bus error" is not very detailed... it is hard to say, what is exactly wrong.
[07:17] <matti> rob138: So, maybe some driver issues?
[07:17] <rob138> matti, "Bus error" is all that is in the terminal after crash,  what drivers do you think that may be?
[07:17] <matti> rob138: For example: simultaneously writing to sound device may cause this... hmm...
[07:17] <matti> rob138: If you disable all tweaks you made, then it is working?
[07:18] <matti> rob138: Also, look in dmesg.
[07:18] <matti> rob138: Look in /var/log/{*,messages}.
[07:18] <tomlikestorock> can anyone tell me why I keep getting this error when I try to compile a program?
[07:18] <filemover> well i just made my first ap using kdevelop
[07:18] <tomlikestorock> ./shadowofthebeast: error while loading shared libraries: libclanApp-0.8.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[07:19] <rpedro> WraithKeeper: sudo gnome-language-selector
[07:19] <rob138> matti, dmesg returned tons of: [17216027.916000]  [fglrx:firegl_pcie_lock_pages]  *ERROR* unlocking pcie memory !
[07:19] <tomlikestorock> I've installed clanLib, btw
[07:19] <WraithKeeper> thanks rpedro ,you are nice
[07:19] <matti> rob138: Oh.
[07:19] <rpedro> WraithKeeper: np lol ;-)
[07:19] <JamesRasmussen> can anyone help me I really need it I already asked my question but I have yet to get a reply back
[07:20] <matti> rob138: Looks like some memory issues/problems with PCIE bus.
[07:20] <WraithKeeper> sry this command not exist in my system
[07:20] <matti> rob138: This may cause the "Bus error".
[07:20] <WraithKeeper> how can i install it?
[07:20] <rob138> matti, is that something i could even possibly fix?
[07:20] <matti> rob138: This require some googling...
[07:21] <Madpilot> JamesRasmussen, I think the newer ATI cards would work - I've got an older ATI 9600XT, it works nicely
[07:21] <matti> rob138: Since, I don't seen this error myself before.
[07:21] <tomlikestorock> I don't understand why I keep getting this error, I've installed clanlib and everything
[07:21] <matti> rob138: BTW, only FF craches?
[07:21] <rob138> matti, right. these kind of errors are way over my head
[07:21] <rpedro> WraithKeeper: you sure you're using ubuntu? which version (Dapper, Brezzy) ?
[07:21] <JamesRasmussen> okay can anyone tell me how i can get to the sudo thing again when i first tried to install ubuntu it gave me an error and led me to that now that i looked at the site it gave me a command to install the ristricted drivers or something the command is "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" than select fglrx
[07:21] <rob138> matti, yeah
[07:21] <matti> rob138: Try some other application, that will use some multimedia devices - sound or graphics maybe.
[07:22] <WraithKeeper> version 5.4
[07:22] <WraithKeeper> i'm sure
[07:22] <JamesRasmussen> madpilot - that it would seem but I am getting a black screen and I think what i am hearing is the boot sound
[07:22] <corsachriz> moin zusammen
[07:22] <rob138> matti, i've got amarok blaring right now w/o problems : )
[07:22] <corsachriz> was gaytn
[07:22] <corsachriz> ?#
[07:22] <matti> rob138: Hmhmh.
[07:22] <WraithKeeper> it's the ubuntu for hp notebook type.
[07:22] <rob138> matti, and i have tried firefox sound stuff w/o other programs using esd or sound or whatever
[07:22] <WraithKeeper> i download from the ubuntu website.
[07:22] <Eagle3> if I compile a custom kernel in ubuntu, how do I get the boot splash to work with it?
[07:23] <UKMatt> does anyone use VMware server?
[07:23] <vinboy> how do I enter key to use by the apt?
[07:23] <WraithKeeper> offical website.
[07:23] <rpedro> WraithKeeper: that is a pretty old version, no longer supported I think , you really should upgrade to Dapper as it wi
[07:23] <matti> rob138: Google says, that some people also have such problem.
[07:23] <rob138> matti, the bus error problem?
[07:23] <Madpilot> JamesRasmussen, not sure what to suggest - check ubuntuforums.org, for starters
[07:23] <rpedro> WraithKeeper: *as it will have support for 3 years on desktop
[07:23] <matti> rob138: But, it is very rare and caused by some evil dark forces.
[07:23] <UKMatt> vmware anyone?
[07:23] <matti> rob138: Not, the fglrx one.
[07:24] <matti> rob138: "Bus error" is too common to google it.
[07:24] <penguinwhoflew> grub f*cked up, anyone care to help me reinstall it?
[07:24] <WraithKeeper> how can i upgrade?
[07:24] <pjfc> has any one been able to get wine to work in a 64-bit AMD installation?
[07:24] <WraithKeeper> i afraid my notebook can be supported in new version.
[07:24] <rpedro> WraithKeeper: anyway, just try logging out of Gnome, it is probable english language support will have been installed by default
[07:24] <matti> rob138: You'll find tons and tons of different problems releated to this particular error.
[07:24] <rpedro> !upgrade
[07:24] <ubotu> Upgrading to Ubuntu 5.10 breezy -> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade  Upgrading to Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades  Note: gksudo "update-manager -d" always updates to the latest development version.
[07:25] <rpedro> WraithKeeper: ^^
[07:25] <JamesRasmussen> madpilot - I really would like to get this working tonight I already had to download irc and connect to freenode i figured the irc channel would give me better support.
[07:25] <WraithKeeper> Welcome to Ubuntu Linux 5.04: The Hoary Hedgehog Release
[07:25] <rob138> matti, looks like i'm sol, do you think that removing ubuntu firefox and installing mozilla firefox could maybe alleviate some configuration problems as well as being a slightly newer version?
[07:25] <penguinwhoflew> can ANYONE help me reinstall/configure grub? I can no longer boot to anything but a livecd!
[07:25] <WraithKeeper> it's my version now use
[07:25] <Shak-> so how do you go about installing drivers, video cards, that sort of stuff on ubuntu?
[07:25] <WraithKeeper> it's old?
[07:25] <Madpilot> WraithKeeper, 5.04 is two versions old now
[07:25] <WraithKeeper> i find it adopt my compaq nc60000
[07:25] <matti> rob138: What is sol? :)
[07:26] <WraithKeeper> in the offical website
[07:26] <rob138> matti, shit outta luck
[07:26] <rob138> : )
[07:26] <WraithKeeper> i afraid other version can't support my notebook
[07:26] <Madpilot> o-0, any reason you're nickspamming?
[07:26] <jiff> anyone able to navigate egghead on amazon
[07:26] <jiff> its fucking retarded
[07:26] <Madpilot> WraithKeeper, notebook support has gotten better and better in newer versions of Ubuntu
[07:27] <matti> rob138: Wait a moment...
[07:27] <rob138> matti, alright
[07:27] <WarOfAttrition> so much so that my next system will be my first new laptop
[07:28] <WraithKeeper> how can i upgrade my version?
[07:28] <JamesRasmussen> okay since no one can answer my first question how can i install the fglrx driver? to make it simple someone must be able to help me with this question
[07:28] <Madpilot> JamesRasmussen, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:29] <someothernick> !ati
[07:29] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:29] <someothernick> opps
[07:29] <someothernick> late :/
[07:29] <matti> rob138: I see.
[07:29] <tomlikestorock> can anyone help me with my compile error?
[07:29] <WraithKeeper> madpilot
[07:29] <WraithKeeper> how can i upgrade my version?
[07:29] <JamesRasmussen> madpilot - i've seen this but how do i get to type in this sudo stuff
[07:29] <matti> rob138: Try to disable the FIREFOX_DSP - i presume, that you setup this to your sound device, right?
[07:30] <Madpilot> JamesRasmussen, in a terminal - Applications->Accessories->Terminal
[07:30] <matti> rob138: It seems, that there's a bug in FF some sort.
[07:30] <JamesRasmussen> madpilot - when i first tried it said gave me an error and brought me to sudo
[07:30] <GhettoPuNKkiD> okay, who needs help?
[07:30] <JamesRasmussen> madpilot - how do i get to the terminal
[07:30] <rob138> matti, you mean setting it to "none"
[07:30] <Madpilot> WraithKeeper, upgrading two versions is hard - you might be better off to download the newest version & reinstall
[07:30] <JamesRasmussen> madpilot - isn't that in the os?
[07:30] <someothernick> tomlikestorock: whats the error?
[07:30] <matti> rob138: You can also try to upgrade FF if any upgrade is available.
[07:30] <matti> rob138: Yes, none :)
[07:31] <WraithKeeper> what's mean two versions?
[07:31] <tomlikestorock> ./shadowofthebeast: error while loading shared libraries: libclanApp-0.8.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[07:31] <WraithKeeper> i use one version
[07:31] <Madpilot> JamesRasmussen, if all you get is a text prompt when you start Ubuntu, just start typing there
[07:31] <tomlikestorock> even though I have clanLib installed
[07:31] <WraithKeeper> call 5.04
[07:31] <Madpilot> WraithKeeper, you can't go from 5.04 straight to 6.06 (the newest version), you'd have to upgrade to 5.10 first
[07:31] <ardchoille> tich: How did you get nautilus to work?
[07:31] <rob138> matti, i set it back to none, and i am still gettin this bus error, i think it might have been the configuring i just did by doing automatix, to try to reinstall flash,
[07:31] <JamesRasmussen> madpilot - I think i got to the text prompt when i first installed but now it's not bringing me there and rather just putting my monitor to sleep mode from there i have to restart
[07:31] <tomlikestorock> someothernick: what do you think?
[07:32] <CarlFK> what is the name of the java plugin for Firefox package?
[07:32] <matti> rob138: OK.
[07:32] <Madpilot> rob, automatix is bad news - stay away from it unless you like having a broken system
[07:32] <JamesRasmussen> madpilot - I sent you a pm can i talk to you from there instead of chat or is that a big no no?
[07:32] <rob138> looks like i just broke my system
[07:32] <Madpilot> JamesRasmussen, you need to be registered on Freenode to PM
[07:33] <rob138> how do i completely remove firefox/mozilla and reinstall it freshly?
[07:33] <brimstone> when i push down keys on my usb keyboard after grub, it gives me double keys, does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
[07:33] <corsachriz> ps2 keyboard?
[07:33] <WraithKeeper> thanx madpilot
[07:33] <GhettoPuNKkiD> !java
[07:33] <ubotu> java is an object oriented programming language. To install a java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java For the runtime Sun Java install sun-java5-jre from the Multiverse repository
[07:33] <GhettoPuNKkiD> CarlFK ^^
[07:33] <brimstone> corsachriz, the computer is usb only
[07:33] <WraithKeeper> if i try two upgrade for 5.04 to 6.06 no way?
[07:34] <Madpilot> JamesRasmussen, http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[07:34] <corsachriz> mhh brimstone, no idea
[07:34] <corsachriz> only in grub?
[07:34] <JamesRasmussen> madpilot - can you pm me than or is that the same?
[07:34] <CarlFK> thanks GhettoPuNKkiD
[07:34] <Madpilot> JamesRasmussen, same, from your end
[07:34] <WraithKeeper> modpilot i have 5.10version cdrom
[07:34] <GhettoPuNKkiD> CarlFK: you're welcome
[07:34] <Madpilot> WraithKeeper, you could upgrade from 5.04->5.10->6.06 - you can't skip versions
[07:34] <WraithKeeper> but i don't have 6.06 version cdrom
[07:34] <brimstone> grub is ok, pxelinux is ok, it's after some kernel module loads then the keyboard goes double corsachriz
[07:34] <ardchoille> !upgrade > WraithKeeper
[07:35] <corsachriz> mhh sry brimstone, realy no idea
[07:35] <WraithKeeper> first i upgrade 5.04 to 5.10 and second from 5.10 to 6.06 right?
[07:35] <Madpilot> WraithKeeper, that's right
[07:35] <tomlikestorock> someothernick: no idea, eh?
[07:35] <WraithKeeper> have risk?
[07:35] <Drasla> anyone know what program I can use to regularly check a pop3 or imap account, and download messages to a local Maildir?
[07:36] <pjfc> has anyone gotten wine to run under 64-bit?
[07:36] <WarOfAttrition> there's a small risk of scurvy
[07:36] <IseeIsee> what would be the differene between a ubuntu-minimal and xubuntu ?
[07:37] <WraithKeeper> madpilot if i upgrade two version have some risk?
[07:37] <Madpilot> WraithKeeper, yes, there's some risk with upgrades, there always is
[07:38] <someothernick> tomlikestorock: you probably need libclanApp-0.8.so. but i would ask someone else first
[07:38] <tomlikestorock> someothernick: that's the thing. I got it, I just don't know how to tell g++ I got it
[07:38] <fangorious> having trouble running mythfilldatabase (0.18 from the dapper repos) am told there's a SQL syntax error
[07:38] <WraithKeeper> so terrible
[07:38] <GhettoPuNKkiD> woosp
[07:38] <GhettoPuNKkiD> :d
[07:39] <WraithKeeper> if i reinstall ubuntu i will lost my data store in my disk?
[07:40] <Madpilot> WraithKeeper, did you use seperate partitions on your harddisk when you installed ubuntu?
[07:40] <ardchoille> WraithKeeper: I would recommend making backups of any data you don't want to lose
[07:40] <tomlikestorock> someothernick: I figured it out. Had to copy everything from /usr/local/lib to /usr/lib
[07:40] <tomlikestorock> someothernick: Thanks, anyways :)
[07:41] <someothernick> tomlikestorock:  :)
[07:41] <WraithKeeper> no i use double system
[07:41] <El_Brujo> hey a good bittorrent client for linux?

[07:42] <WarOfAttrition> a marriage forged in heaven
[07:43] <WraithKeeper> someone use ubuntu in hp notebook?
[07:43] <BHSPitLappy> !anyone
[07:43] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[07:43] <WraithKeeper> i want to know how to shutdown the wireless light?
[07:44] <isede> how do i ebable screensaver on kubuntu?
[07:44] <WraithKeeper> so trouble things broing me.
[07:44] <isede> enable
[07:44] <skorm>  !root skorm
[07:45] <skorm> !root skorm
[07:45] <ubotu> I know nothing about root skorm - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[07:45] <ardchoille> !root > skorm
[07:45] <skorm> xD
[07:45] <ardchoille> :)
[07:45] <skorm> that bot pwns xD
[07:45] <ardchoille> Yeah, ubotu is pretty cool
[07:46] <shinobi2> I just installed the ubuntu server.  But I don't have a gnome desktop.
[07:46] <skorm> your problem shinobi2?
[07:46] <BHSPitLappy> shinobi2, well duh, a server install doesn't have a gui
[07:46] <skorm> xD
[07:46] <BHSPitLappy> the "Desktop" CD installs a "Desktop"
[07:46] <ardchoille> shinobi2: desktops are over-rated.. you can do almost anything in a console anyway
[07:46] <shinobi2> BHSPitLappy, ah.... i should ave gotten the 'desktop' instead
[07:46] <skorm> sudo apt-ge install ubuntu-desktop
[07:46] <skorm> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[07:46] <BHSPitLappy> ^^^^^^^^^^^
[07:46] <skorm> i think
[07:47] <BHSPitLappy> yeah.
[07:47] <ardchoille> yep
[07:47] <corsachriz> ^^
[07:47] <skorm> ^^^
[07:47] <BHSPitLappy> shinobi2, that will go online and make it a Desktop installation.
[07:47] <shinobi2> skorm, it did not prompt me for root password during installation.
[07:47] <skorm> never does
[07:47] <BHSPitLappy> it shouldn't
[07:47] <skorm> just enter your password
[07:47] <BHSPitLappy> use your password
[07:47] <skorm> lol
[07:48] <BHSPitLappy> it's all sudo-based
[07:48] <dooglus> is there any way to get rid of the openoffice.org splash screen?
[07:48] <BHSPitLappy> root is disabled, to you
[07:48] <shinobi2> BHSPitLappy, my user password?  but i will need a root password right? most linux have a root password
[07:48] <BHSPitLappy> dooglus, ask #openoffice or whatever their channel is
[07:48] <skorm> not ubuntu
[07:48] <ardchoille> !sudo > shinobi2
[07:48] <BHSPitLappy> shinobi2, your user's password.
[07:48] <BHSPitLappy> Ubuntu disables the root user by default. (To you, anyway.)
[07:49] <BHSPitLappy> and you do root tasks using "sudo <command>"
[07:49] <ardchoille> BHSPitLappy: and I think that is a good thing
[07:49] <Corporal_Dirge> shinobi2, Ubuntu has no root user until one is set up. Not having one removes a security risks.
[07:49] <GhettoPuNKkiD> shinobi2: sudo -i
[07:49] <JamesRasmussen> where do i enter sudo codes/commands I guess?
[07:49] <BHSPitLappy> ardchoille, when did I say otherwise?
[07:49] <GhettoPuNKkiD> shinobi2: gets you root
[07:49] <someothernick> terminal
[07:49] <fivre> JamesRasmussen: console
[07:50] <JamesRasmussen> how do i get to the terminal/console?
[07:50] <WraithKeeper> modpilot i decide to upgrade my version from 5.04 to 6.06
[07:50] <WraithKeeper> what should i do?
[07:50] <GhettoPuNKkiD> JamesRasmussen: Applications, Accessories, Terminal
[07:50] <JamesRasmussen> keep in mind I am trying to install the drivers for my video card so i can see the desktop
[07:50] <fivre> JamesRasmussen: it should be in the menu somewhere
[07:50] <dooglus> Corporal_Dirge: ubuntu always has a root user.  the password is locked by default, but the user always exists.
[07:50] <El_Brujo> were i found bitcomet 4 linux?
[07:50] <JamesRasmussen> so i can't do it from the os itself
[07:50] <Corporal_Dirge> But it's not accesable.
[07:51] <someothernick> sudo apt-get install bitcomet
[07:51] <ardchoille> JamesRasmussen: You can ALT+F2, type in gnome-terminal and go to work :)
[07:51] <JamesRasmussen> where do i type ALT+F2?
[07:51] <Corporal_Dirge> It's actually got a randomly set password too. lol
[07:51] <skorm> JamesRasmussen: you don't type it
[07:51] <JamesRasmussen> i mean press
[07:51] <JamesRasmussen> lol
[07:51] <JamesRasmussen> my bad
[07:51] <skorm> JamesRasmussen: you press it xD
[07:51] <fivre> JamesRasmussen: on the keyboard...
[07:52] <fivre> speaking of terminals
[07:52] <BHSPitLappy> he needs to do CTRL+ALT+F2 when he's inside of X, right?
[07:52] <colk> root has to exist it breaks stuff if their isnt a 0 account
[07:52] <vinboy> how do I remove orphan packages using deborphan?
[07:52] <colk> Alt + F2 will bring up run
[07:53] <BHSPitLappy> colk, the account exists. you just can't use it.
[07:53] <BHSPitLappy> :D
[07:53] <ardchoille> BHSPitLappy: no, ALT+F2 will get the run dialog
[07:53] <fivre> is there any way to copy from rxvt in xfce?
[07:53] <shinobi2> does the server comes with some sort of chat? like terminal-form of xchat?
[07:53] <El_Brujo> sudo apt-get install bitcomet
[07:53] <El_Brujo> nop the pakage dosn't exist
[07:53] <BHSPitLappy> ohh, understood
[07:53] <Corporal_Dirge> grrr, aliases dn't seem to be working right. I put alias ll='ls -l' into my .bash_profile, but even after reboot it's not there.
[07:53] <fivre> shinobi2: irssi
[07:53] <fivre> much better than Xchat
[07:53] <JamesRasmussen> well where do i press the CTRL+ALT+F2?
[07:53] <BHSPitLappy> pssh, no way
[07:53] <BHSPitLappy> JamesRasmussen, ignore the CRTL, I was wrong
[07:54] <fivre> yes way
[07:54] <skavenge> Corporal_Dirge: just do the alias command at the bash prompt, mine stays after boot
[07:54] <fivre> Xchat is :(
[07:54] <shinobi2> fiveiron,  so, sudo apt-get install irssi ?
[07:54] <fivre> yes
[07:54] <random> I deleted /etc/apache2 to kill off all the config files though when trying to reinstall it via aptitude/apt-get/dpkg I can't get any of them to repopulate that folder
[07:54] <regress> hey all, I'm trying to instal 6.06 off of a cd iso I downloaded and burned on my dell optiplex gx270, but it seems to freeze at the splash screen after playing the little bit of music
[07:54] <BHSPitLappy> JamesRasmussen, just push ALT+F2 right now. and type gnome-terminal in the box that appears
[07:54] <fivre> if it's not installed by default
[07:54] <Corporal_Dirge> mine doesn't even after just closing the terminal. it all vanishes
[07:54] <skorm> err. you need to add a package list thingy to install irssi i thought
[07:54] <shinobi2> the ubuntuu.server.iso comes with very limited programs, i have to installed all later on.
[07:54] <regress> is there some way to find out a more detailed point at which it crashes?
[07:55] <random> regress I suggest if you wish to install ubuntu 6.06 that you download the -alternative iso and try again (it should not crash)
[07:55] <JamesRasmussen> BHSPitLappy - okay now that I have the CTRL-ALT-F2 part down where do i put the driver that i downloaded from windows?
[07:55] <regress> alright, give it a try
[07:55] <shinobi2> all all the packages in the ubuntu.server.iso installed on my computer now? i just follow the default.
[07:55] <dooglus> Corporal_Dirge: .bash_profile isn't used unless you're running a login shell.
[07:55] <random> :)
[07:56] <skorm> JamesRasmussen: what exactly are you trying to do?
[07:56] <dooglus> Corporal_Dirge: you should put alias definitions somewhere where every bash shell will see them.  like ~/.bashrc
[07:56] <WraithKeeper> modpilot i decide to upgrade my version from 5.04 to 6.06,what should i do first?
[07:56] <isede> how do i enable screensaver?
[07:56] <someothernick> El_Brujo: sorry it was bittornado i was thinking of
[07:56] <Corporal_Dirge> how about .bash_aliases somone said that's what you use.
[07:56] <skorm> isede: gnome or kde?
[07:56] <isede> kde
[07:56] <Madpilot> WraithKeeper, first, upgrade from 5.04 to 5.10
[07:56] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell WraithKeeper about upgrade
[07:56] <caturOK> help me about dns plz
[07:56] <WraithKeeper> yes
[07:56] <skorm> isede: kcontrol, then customise by memory
[07:57] <BHSPitLappy> JamesRasmussen, I don't even know what you're doing... this channel makes my head hurt
[07:57] <dooglus> Corporal_Dirge: if you source .bash_aliases from .bashrc, then that's OK.  depends if you want to open an extra file each time you start a shell I guess
[07:57] <WraithKeeper> thans
[07:57] <BHSPitLappy> I have to get to bed, night all
[07:57] <WraithKeeper> ubotu are you here
[07:57] <ubotu> I know nothing about are you here - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[07:57] <skavenge> isede: right click on the desktop, 'configure desktop'
[07:57] <WraithKeeper> tell me something about upgrade
[07:57] <skavenge> !upgrade
[07:57] <ubotu> Upgrading to Ubuntu 5.10 breezy -> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade  Upgrading to Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades  Note: gksudo "update-manager -d" always updates to the latest development version.
[07:57] <Madpilot> WraithKeeper, the bot should have sent you a PM
[07:57] <ardchoille> Corporal_Dirge: You can put your aliases in ~/.bashrc or in ~/.bash_aliases. But, if you put them in ~/.bash_aliases, you have to go into ~/.bashrc and uncomment the bash_aliases line
[07:58] <skorm> Man, this channel is all work and no play
[07:58] <isede> skavenge: it worked
[07:58] <isede> skorm: thank you
[07:58] <WraithKeeper> what's means of PM
[07:58] <colk> skorm, it is a help channel
[07:58] <Corporal_Dirge> ardchoille, ok, thanks.
[07:58] <skorm> isede: I havn't used kde in years, so i had no idea where it was
[07:58] <caturOK> expected quoted string near '\uffff\200\234'
[07:58] <caturOK> why if i tail syslog
[07:58] <skorm> colk, true
[07:59] <caturOK> my bind no rndc
[07:59] <skorm> should be #ubuntu(should be discussion about ubuntu and then #ubuntu-help all about helping users
[07:59] <mandeep> sup
[08:00] <fivre> is there a more lightweight synaptic-ish program?
[08:00] <Madpilot> skorm, #ubuntu-offtopic is for chat
[08:00] <dooglus> skorm: #ubuntu-offtopic is about the closest to what #ubuntu should be
[08:00] <skorm> xD
[08:00] <skorm> I never to /lists on big servers
[08:00] <ardchoille> fivre: There is aptitude, some folks say it's the best
[08:01] <fivre> well, a gui sort
[08:01] <fivre> I'm still learning aptitude
[08:01] <mandeep> fivre have u heard of automatix
[08:01] <fivre> nope
[08:01] <isede> skorm: not using kde is not a crime, just a misdemenour
[08:01] <mandeep> its kinda like synaptic
[08:01] <Madpilot> mandeep, automatix is NOT a Synaptic replacement
[08:01] <isede> skorm: ego te absolvo :)
[08:01] <mandeep> jeez
[08:01] <skorm> isede: bash > *
[08:02] <skorm> hehehe
[08:02] <mandeep> i didnt tell him to kill himself
[08:02] <Madpilot> mandeep, no, but recommending automatix may kill his computer...
[08:02] <fivre> :|
[08:02] <mandeep> ...
[08:02] <mandeep> why do you think that
[08:02] <fivre> :D
[08:03] <mandeep> what bad experience did you have with it
[08:03] <Flannel> mandeep: there are plenty of documented cases of it going awry
[08:03] <mandeep> never had problems with it
[08:03] <iGotNoTime> Can anyone suggest a good multi-track audio editor? I am new to Linux about 6 hours ago and need to continue podcasting I had done in MS.
[08:03] <ardchoille> mandeep: You have to remember that no two Ubuntu installations are exactly the same. That which works for you may kill another users' box. That is why there are channels such as this one :)
[08:03] <afflux> morgen
[08:03] <mandeep> oh
[08:04] <WraithKeeper> who can tell me the word "PM"mean what?
[08:04] <ardchoille> Package Manager
[08:04] <Flannel> WraithKeeper: "private message"
[08:04] <ardchoille> or, in irc-land, it means Private Message
[08:05] <rpedro> iGotNoTime: ardour (just audio) or rosegarden4 (audio + midi)
[08:05] <WraithKeeper> thanks
[08:05] <iGotNoTime> rpedro, thank you very much :)
[08:05] <iGotNoTime> are they commercial?
[08:05] <rpedro> iGotNoTime: np
[08:05] <rpedro> iGotNoTime: no
[08:05] <iGotNoTime> ok :D
[08:06] <rpedro> iGotNoTime: also check http://ubuntustudio.com
[08:06] <iGotNoTime> will do first :)
[08:06] <iGotNoTime> good domain name :)
[08:06] <mandeep> can some1 tell me why ctrl alt del isnt working for me after ive run the commands to make it work
[08:08] <iGotNoTime> I am running Breezy from a CD I had a couple months ago, how far behind am I ?
[08:08] <fivre> very
[08:08] <skorm> iGotNoTime: extremly
[08:08] <iGotNoTime> :(
[08:08] <Madpilot> iGotNoTime, only one version - Dapper Drake came out in June
[08:08] <iGotNoTime> ok
[08:08] <Corporal_Dirge> how do I mount an external fat32 hdd? sudo mount /media/sda1 isn't working
[08:08] <fivre> but it's still a huge improvement
[08:08] <iGotNoTime> will I need to burn an ISO to get Dapper?
[08:08] <fivre> that or I was using 4
[08:09] <skorm> 2 kernal updates
[08:09] <skorm> i think :O
[08:09] <ardchoille> iGotNoTime: open a term and run:  lsb_release -a
[08:09] <Flannel> iGotNoTime: do you currently have ubuntu?
[08:09] <iGotNoTime> is there any lightscribe support in Ubuntu yet?
[08:09] <iGotNoTime> Flannel, yes Edu :)
[08:10] <Flannel> iGotNoTime: installed? or running off the CD?
[08:10] <iGotNoTime> Flannel, installed yes
[08:10] <Flannel> !tell iGotNoTime about upgrade
[08:10] <iGotNoTime> ardchoille, that will update the kernel?
[08:10] <iGotNoTime> thanks Flannel  :)
[08:10] <ardchoille> iGotNoTime: no, it will tell you which Ubuntu release you are using
[08:10] <mandeep> is there a way to make the menus close faster after a program has been selected?

[08:40] (ardchoille/#ubuntu) Guest477: I did that once and ended up using a wiki

[08:41] <romulo> =p
[08:41] (benjk/#ubuntu) I uncommented the two lines to enable "universe" in /etc/apt/sources.list but apt-get still returns the same message
[08:41] (Guest477/#ubuntu) i have done some research, just hard to get into some of the nasty stuff, totally new to bash, and the general file structure is only just becoming clear to me
[08:41] (ardchoille/#ubuntu) Guest477: You can set up LAMP and use a light wiki for this stuff, that's what I did.
[08:41] <Guest477> thanks
[08:42] <ardchoille> Guest477: Here's the wiki I use..  I had to say it :)
[08:45] <iGotNoTime> in Multimedia Systems Selector can both the input and the output be set to ALSA? it's not working for me like that

[08:47] <ra7eeel> oka thank you take your time
[08:47] <random> ra7eeelno we can't help at all
[08:47] <ra7eeel> guest477
[08:47] <piratepenguin> do ipods work out of the box in ubuntu?
[08:47] <random> this isn't a help channel
[08:48] <random> piratepenguin ... define work
[08:48] <Guest477> random
[08:48] <Guest477> be silent
[08:48] <cyrazz> Yes they do piratepenguin
[08:48] <random> Guest477 RTFT (t for topic)
[08:48] <piratepenguin> cyrazz: cheers
[08:48] <iGotNoTime> yes pirate
[08:48] <ra7eeel> when i start the installation from the .iso cdand choose install to h.d.d
[08:48] <iGotNoTime> I had to install one program
[08:48] <skavenge> as long as you have a program to work with it yeah (gtkpod, amarok, whatever)
[08:48] <Guest477> okofficial ubuntu support channel
[08:48] <iGotNoTime> I used Amarok and it is great :)
[08:48] <ra7eeel> and get to detecting hardwar to find cd rom driver
[08:49] <kintaro> hi guys..i would like to know whats the use inetrd and sysmap..i tried compiling linux on manual before..what i did is compile then copy bzimage to /boot..and thats it then restart..not ubuntu distro....any idea..?
[08:49] <piratepenguin> hey kintaro!
[08:49] <ra7eeel> i found message says you installation cd-rom couldnt be mounted
[08:49] <kintaro> yes piratepenguin..
[08:49] <benjk> Ok then, no sox in Ubuntu, well, I am not impressed
[08:49] <ra7eeel> insert the cd and try again
[08:49] <piratepenguin> (if you don't recognise my username then you're not the kintaro I know, whoops..)
[08:49] <ra7eeel> and when i do so i got this message,
[08:49] <skavenge> !info sox
[08:50] <skavenge> woops bots gone
[08:50] <ardchoille> skavenge: ubotu left the channel :(
[08:50] <ra7eeel> sorry its gone
[08:50] <xarq> ardchoille: that's in the alien docs
[08:50] <piratepenguin> so what's the default music player/organiser on ubuntu? rhythmbox?
[08:50] <DarkMageZ> ardchoille, ubotu died... but don't worry, it's owner knows
[08:51] <dooglus> benjk: sox is in ubuntu, in the universe repository
[08:51] <benjk> as I said, I uncommented the two lines in /etc/apt/sources.list to enable universe
[08:51] <ra7eeel> any opinion
[08:51] <ardchoille> xarq: Yeah, I need to read them through soon
[08:51] <DarkMageZ> piratepenguin, yeah, it's rhythmbox
[08:51] <skavenge> benjk: you need to enable the universe and multiverse repositories before you can apt-get it
[08:51] <ChakRa> guys if i want to know the status of a specific service what command should i type? like in red hat its servise servise_name status, wandering whats the command in ubuntu???
[08:51] <kintaro> hmmm..piratepenguin sory i dont know you..hehehhe
[08:51] <benjk> yet apt-get still gives me the same message that it isn't available
[08:51] <ardchoille> DarkMageZ: Cool.. I love that bot
[08:51] <ra7eeel> guest477 ???
[08:51] <Guest477> all i can think of right off is how old is the puter
[08:51] <skavenge> benjk: did you run sudo apt-get update to update the repositories after?
[08:51] <cyrazz> Linux for Human Beings, I'm not human so why do i use this?
[08:51] <piratepenguin> kintaro: heh, you must be another kintaro
[08:51] <ra7eeel> the failing step is :detect and mount cd-rom
[08:51] <Guest477> and ra7, is the cd good for sure?
[08:52] <benjk> ok, lemme try that
[08:52] <ra7eeel> you men the media cd
[08:52] <dooglus> benjk: you need to "sudo apt-get update" before apt-cache will be updated
[08:52] <piratepenguin> does rhythmbox work with ipods?
[08:52] <benjk> ok, thanks, doing that now
[08:52] <ra7eeel> i had download the .iso from the original site
[08:52] <Guest477> yes ra7... are you sure the CD is undamaged?
[08:52] <JamesRasmussen> should you avoid the 64bit version of ubuntu even if you have a AMD64 processor?
[08:52] <ra7eeel> no i dont sure

[09:26] <xarq> I'm trying to change my keybindings, can someone tell me why this command doesn't work:  xmodmap -e "keysym 0xffeb = Control_L"
[09:27] <snoops> err 0xffeb being the problem I'm assuming
[09:28] <snoops> what key does xev tell ya is being hit
[09:28] <xarq> snoops: it says 115 (0xffeb .... but it doesn't work if I make that 115 either
[09:28] <romulo> hmm anyone is using packages from edgy repo?
[09:29] <Hobbsee> romulo: on dapper?  dont do it
[09:29] <romulo> whats the proper way to do it?
[09:29] <GreySim> Man, it'd be soooo nice if configure scripts could interface with apt-get to resolve dependenices. o.o'
[09:29] <romulo> Hobbsee, i mean, to use unstable
[09:30] <Hobbsee> romulo: ie, using edgy?  yeah, i am at the momnet, it's broken
[09:30] <romulo> Hobbsee, i just upgraded gtk =P
[09:30] <romulo> and for dialogs that use glade, its horrible
[09:30] <romulo> =p
[09:31] <david__> has anybody ever gotten a free domain though www.dyndns.com?
[09:31] <neil> ??
[09:32] <david__> when you have a site on your computer... it should come up when your IP is put in the browser, correct? is the index.html supposed be in the /var/www/index.html right?
[09:32] <david__> cuz i cant get it to go to that spot
[09:32] <Corporal_Dirge> Well.. I did it. I spent my entire day off trying to get Truecrypt working and have nothing to show for it.
[09:33] <romulo> Hobbsee, your theme is broken too?
[09:33] <Corporal_Dirge> But I did learn tat MP4 doesn't work on VLC
[09:33] <romulo> dunno if it is the gtk engine or the theme itself
[09:34] <david__> whne you type in my IP it just has an error trying to get there.. it doesnt find the host
[09:34] <Hobbsee> romulo: no, i use kde
[09:34] <david__> or when you type in the site does the same thing
[09:34] <romulo> Hobbsee, hm
[09:34] <crimsun> Corporal_Dirge: video or audio? because the latter definitely works if it's unenciphered.
[09:35] <Corporal_Dirge> Right about now I wish I could at least get a blue screen of death for all my hard work.
[09:35] <poje> !xgl >poje
[09:35] <Corporal_Dirge> crimsun, audio is fine, video is bad
[09:36] <dockane> hi all.. ive got problems with a remote machine: from time to time the adsl connection does not come up at boottime and i do not know how to investigate the problem (dmesg and plog do not mention any problems). any ideas?
[09:36] <david__> anybody running their own site on there computer?
[09:37] <GhettoPuNKkiD> david__: i am ..locally for now
[09:37] <Corporal_Dirge> Not on Linux. I run windows just fine.
[09:37] <crimsun> Corporal_Dirge: should be addressed once the edgy backport is available in dapper-backports
[09:37] <crimsun> Corporal_Dirge: I've enabled the w32codecs loader on i386
[09:37] <Corporal_Dirge> crimsun, It's a know bug. They'll have to work on it.
[09:37] <crimsun> it works fine with the loader
[09:38] <xarq> Corporal_Dirge: parse error
[09:38] <zcat[1] > I need another spare machine to play with edgy on :(
[09:38] <mohkohn> good morning. I am having a lot of trouble getting my wireless to work in dapper
[09:39] <GhettoPuNKkiD> mohkohn: what kind of adapter do you have?
[09:39] <Seveas> zcat[1] , use xen/vmware
[09:39] <xarq> zcat[1] : you don't need a spare machine, just a spare partition  :P
[09:39] <mohkohn> it is showing up as eth1 in gnome network settings
[09:39] <xarq> zcat[1] : or a spare hard drive
[09:39] <mohkohn> broadcom bcm4306
[09:39] <GhettoPuNKkiD> mohkohn: hold on ..let me get you some help
[09:39] <Corporal_Dirge> Great, one of my other external HDD isn't being recognized now,... Linux is starting to annoy me.
[09:40] <zcat[1] > nah, I hate dual-boot.. and this box is quite slow enough without piling virtulisation onto it.
[09:40] <GhettoPuNKkiD> mohkohn: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=201902
[09:40] <mohkohn> my girlfriend's net is an airport express
[09:40] <mohkohn> GhettoPuNKkiD: cheking thread
[09:40] <Corporal_Dirge> rebooting, I hope that fixes it.
[09:41] <CaptainMorgan> what's the command to unzip a tar.gz ?
[09:41] <CaptainMorgan> someting like gunzip -c > | tar -xf ?
[09:41] <CaptainMorgan> but not
[09:41] <GhettoPuNKkiD> CaptainMorgan: tar zxvf
[09:41] <GhettoPuNKkiD> mohkohn: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[09:42] <godtvisken> what is the "listen media manager"? it is an option in automatix
[09:42] <zcat[1] > CaptainMorgan: tar xzf will do (xzvf if you want to see all the filenames as it unpacks)
[09:42] <Seveas> !automatix
[09:42] <ubotu> Automatix is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. For help with and discussion of automatix please join #automatix.
[09:42] <Seveas> don't ask automatix help in here - we won't help you breaking your system
[09:43] <CaptainMorgan> still missing something...
[09:43] <pppoe_dude> caplink811_log, tar xf <file> will do
[09:43] <mohkohn> so GhettoPuNKkiD  basically going back to ndiswrapper?
[09:43] <CaptainMorgan> gunzip -c grades.tar.gz | tar -xzf ?
[09:43] <godtvisken> Seveas: it's looked down upon?
[09:43] <pppoe_dude> oops
[09:43] <GhettoPuNKkiD> mohkohn: yes, its what i had to do as well sadly
[09:43] <Seveas> godtvisken, it's loathed
[09:43] <pppoe_dude> CaptainMorgan, tar xf
[09:43] <qwefwqef> how do I make sudo firestarter runnable by all without having to put in a password? is there a suoder file or something?
[09:44] <godtvisken> Seveas: why?
[09:44] <zcat[1] > CaptainMorgan: tar xzf grades.tar.gz
[09:44] <fyrestrtr> qwefwqef: it starts when your system starts automatically
[09:44] <Seveas> godtvisken, because it has broken thousands of systems already
[09:44] <zcat[1] > if that fails it isn't really a tar.gz
[09:44] <mohkohn> because this used to work with hoary and breezy.
[09:44] <mohkohn> I'll give it a go.
[09:44] <mohkohn> thanks
[09:44] <qwefwqef> fyrestrtr: it doesnt appear in ps -e
[09:44] <GhettoPuNKkiD> you're welcome
[09:44] <GhettoPuNKkiD> good luck
[09:44] <godtvisken> Seveas: in what way?
[09:45] <skorm> qwefwqef: try ps ax
[09:45] <Seveas> godtvisken, in such a way that reinstalls are needed

[09:46] <zcat[1] > easyubuntu messed up an install here a little bit.. added a redirect for the ati drivers (which didn't work with the card I had anyhow) and when I tried to swap for an nvidia I couldn't change packages around. Had to manually fix the redirect first...
[09:46] <GhettoPuNKkiD> david__: not at all; what do you got?
[09:46] <zcat[1] > my fault for being a slacker :)
[09:47] <fyrestrtr> *sigh* I wish ATI would make better drivers. XGL hasn't crashed once on my nvidia box, but constant hangups on my ATI laptop.
[09:47] <Guard] [an> hello
[09:47] <GhettoPuNKkiD> !ati
[09:47] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:47] <GhettoPuNKkiD> fyrestrtr ^^
[09:47] <Guard] [an> just launched the update manager and encountered: E: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.15-26-386_2.6.15-26.44_i386.deb: failed in buffer_write(fd) (10, ret=-1)
[09:47] <Guard] [an> any idea please ?
[09:48] <zcat[1] > my sister in law has a really old card; even the windows drivers no longer exist, I had to pick them up from the previous install.
[09:48] <fyrestrtr> GhettoPuNKkiD: did you read my post? Or did you just see ATI and fired off with !ati ?
[09:48] <zcat[1] > and it doesn't work in linux :(
[09:48] <snoops> fyrestrtr my linux experiences were so shocking because of my old ati.. next pc build I promised myself to get an nvidia.. soo happy that I did
[09:48] <pppoe_dude> Guard] [an, is your disk full?
[09:48] <fyrestrtr> zcat[1] : define "doesn't work"?
[09:49] <fyrestrtr> snoops: unfortunately this is a laptop, so no go here.
[09:49] <Guard] [an> pppoe_dude : not at all
[09:49] <zcat[1] > no 3d.. works OK with ati or radeon drivers (or vesa)
[09:49] <GhettoPuNKkiD> fyrestrtr: i did not see your post, i apologize for "jumping to !ati"
[09:49] <fyrestrtr> GhettoPuNKkiD: :)
[09:49] <zcat[1] > and no tv-out in linux either. A bit sad..
[09:50] <fyrestrtr> how old can you card be to have tv out and not support 3d acceleration?
[09:53] <GhettoPuNKkiD> fyrestrtr: can you point me in the direction of your post and maybe i can help?
[09:53] <zcat[1] > You'd be surprised
[09:53] <fyrestrtr> GhettoPuNKkiD: I don't need help, was just ranting.
[09:53] <GhettoPuNKkiD> ahh okay
[09:53] <fyrestrtr> thanks for the offer though :) stick around and help others.
[09:53] <david__> Ghettopunkkid... im not sure if you are getting my PMs so this is the last thing i wrote:  I went through dyndns.com can got a site called http://davidledford.isa-geek.com/ but is giving an error every time i try to go to it to see if its working
[09:53] <zcat[1] > I've seen cards with tuner and tv out that have win95 drivers with them...
[09:53] <GhettoPuNKkiD> fyrestrtr: of course, you're welcome
[09:53] <fyrestrtr> zcat[1] : do you know what kind of card it is?
[09:53] <aeolus> david__: what happens when you access it?
[09:53] <CyDrive> is there any software i can use iwth ubuntu to get my LEGAL anime downloads?
[09:53] <adiabatic> Is there any reason why people are still downloading 5.10 instead of 6.06?
[09:53] <GhettoPuNKkiD> david__: go to #ubuntu-offtopic and i will assist you
[09:53] <fyrestrtr> CyDrive: where do you download them from?
[09:53] <CyDrive> usually limewire
[09:53] <fyrestrtr> CyDrive: use frostwire
[09:53] <CyDrive> ok than you
[09:53] <zcat[1] > ati radeon something.. the machine is pretty old so I'm not too worried about getting it working perfectly. It plays movies and games in windows, it has ubuntu so they can have a play, and they are way overdue for something a bit newer.

[09:53] <Bergcube> Problem with skype:  I am running Dapper and installed (among other things) Skype via the EasyUbuntu utility.  Everything seemed to work great, but it has turned out I have one irritating problem.  I can make or recieve exactly ONE call, after that I will have to stop and start Skype to make the next one.  After one finished call Skype gives a message saying "problem with sound device".  (Or sometihng to that effect in case I didn't get it verbatim..
[09:53] <Bergcube> .)  Help?
[09:54] <zcat[1] > ping -c1 google.com || pon ppp0
[09:54] <Matthai> Bergcube, I have heard about that problem
[09:54] <Matthai> Report it to Skype
[09:54] <Matthai> I thing it is a bug
[09:54] <zcat[1] > skype == closed == not our problem.
[09:55] <godtvisken> Seveas: what about BUMPS or EasyUbuntu?
[09:55] <Bergcube> Matthai~  A good start indeed.  (Having heard about it...)
[09:55] <fyrestrtr> Bergcube: hrmm, are you running any other program that is using the sound card? It seems skype can't get exclusive access to the sound card. Happens mostly with built-in sound cards.
[09:55] <Matthai> oh, it is, since we are users
[09:55] <Matthai> and by report it I mean report it  to Skype
[09:55] <Seveas> godtvisken, I don't know bumps, easyubuntu is slighly better than automatix
[09:55] <m_0_r_0_n> How can I disable the write cache for media disk? I want the system to write all data to the disk at once!
[09:56] <Bergcube> zcat[1] ~  I know.  That it's closed.  So is there an OPEN alternative that will let me talk with my skyped friends that are running the redmond alternative os?
[09:56] <Seveas> Bergcube, no
[09:56] <Lathiat> m_0_r_0_n: Why dont you just unmount it before removing it?
[09:56] <godtvisken> Seveas: has it broken systems?
[09:56] <Bergcube> fyrestrtr~  Well, Gnome itself is using the inbuilt soundcard all the time....
[09:56] <Matthai> btw anyone knows whay I have nautilus window open when I restart compue? I want it closed by default...
[09:56] <Seveas> godtvisken, yes
[09:56] <zcat[1] > your friends could switch to gizmoproject which uses zip. There's a linux port, or you can use and SIP client (ekiga, etc)
[09:56] <zcat[1] > s/and/any/
[09:57] <Matthai> it is sometnihg with saving session...?
[09:57] <m_0_r_0_n> Lathiat, I dont like it
[09:57] <zcat[1] > bah, excuse typing SIP, ANY, etc...
[09:57] <m_0_r_0_n> How can I disable the write cache for media disk? I want the system to write all data to the disk at once!
[09:57] <CaptainMorgan> anyone know how to get rid of the dots(tabs) in Quanta? dunno - Quanta's channel 'used' to have people in it
[09:57] <godtvisken> Seveas: how should i go about doing all of this then?
[09:58] <Bergcube> Thanks all, for your input.  Valuable as always.  I will investigate it at the skype website, and report it there if everything else fails.
[09:58] <fyrestrtr> Ubuntu success story: a colleague visited my office, saw ubuntu running on my machine. Asked me two questions. "Is photoshop available" - I showed him GIMP. "How about Illustrator" - I showed him Inkscape. Next day, he comes in towing his machine.   :D Of course I didn't realize by doing that I volunteered to be tech support for the next week
[09:59] <Bergcube> Seveas~  Are you the seveas that has the add-on respositories?
[09:59] <fyrestrtr> Bergcube: you might have some luck with the alsa dmix plugin.
[09:59] <JamesRasmussen> what does it mean if i got a MP-BIOS BUG?
[09:59] <cappicrd> don't know
[09:59] <Bergcube> fyrestrtr~  Thanks.  I will experiment.  :-)
[10:00] <heretician> Is there a way to change a .bin into a .tar or does it require additional dependencies
[10:01] <Lynoure> fyrestrtr: Luckily linux support is cleaner, just ssh in a fix it :)
[10:01] <m_0_r_0_n> fyrestrtr, I would never recommend Linux as desctop system to a windows user...
[10:01] <fyrestrtr> Lynoure: problem is, he asks me stuff like 'So how do I add a user' :)
[10:01] <Lynoure> fyrestrtr: point him to some ubuntu guide?
[10:01] <zcat[1] > I would. But I make sure they tell me EVERYTHING they do. No MYOB is usually the showstopper...
[10:02] <fyrestrtr> m_0_r_0_n: he is not a Windows 'newbie'. He is a seasoned IT guy (works in telecom). He was always searching for some way to get rid of Windows.
[10:02] <heretician> m_0_r_0_n:  I would guess around ahh 40-60% of Linux users came from Windows :P
[10:02] <fyrestrtr> somthings are still not working correctly, like the remote control that came with his nvidia card.
[10:02] <zcat[1] > and they know upfront they pay me for techsupport ..
[10:02] <Lynoure> I would recommend Linux for Windows newbies! Have done so, they have it easier than oldtime windows users.
[10:02] <m_0_r_0_n> I dont have any problem with windows. I would have been a better idea to fix his windows system
[10:03] <fyrestrtr> m_0_r_0_n: I told him the same thing. He said, don't bother. I'm sick of it.
[10:03] <m_0_r_0_n> ok
[10:03] <Lynoure> fyrestrtr: :)
[10:03] <david__> how do i get to the ubuntu-offtopics again?
[10:03] <DarkMageZ> the windows user who doesn't have problems is a blind windows user
[10:03] <blind> <_<
[10:03] <Lynoure> david__: /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:03] <m_0_r_0_n> DarkMageZ, you mean a clever windows user
[10:04] <ryan_> how doi uninstall gnome desktop.. i would prefer to use Xfce
[10:04] <heretician> I love when Linux users bash Windows, but only when they are correct ;/
[10:04] <zcat[1] > windows isn't too hard to run clean. being virus-free is not a good reason to switch. being Free is.
[10:04] <DarkMageZ> m_0_r_0_n, sure, it is possible to keep a windows system... but it's not worth the loss of fun
[10:05] <JamesRasmussen> what is a MP-BIOS BUG
[10:05] <m_0_r_0_n> Hm, I have a lot of fun :-) It s my playstation :-)
[10:05] <JamesRasmussen> i got it when trying to install
[10:05] <JamesRasmussen> or run the livecd i guess
[10:05] <heretician> DarkMageZ: The reason I joined in with Linux is the complete opposite of what you said :P
[10:06] <heretician> Figured I have finally got to the point where I gamed too much hehe
[10:06] <heretician> *and decided to make my computer useful
[10:07] <Guard] [an> pppoe_dude: it fact that was it :) no space left on /boot. thx for pointing this out
[10:07] <pppoe_dude> Guard] [an, i know these things ;)
[10:07] <ryan_> how doi uninstall gnome desktop.. i would prefer to use Xfce
[10:07] <Guard] [an> pppoe_dude : also i realized i did have i386 kernel on a centrino, i'm switching to i686 then

[10:08] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[10:09] <poje> 2 things: the keyboard shortcut for launching a terminal won't work for me anymore and my sound died
[10:11] <godtvisken> I just changed my time using the gnome time display in the corner of the screen, but now when I `sudo` I get an error about timestamp being too far in the future, how do I fix this?
[10:15] <mohkohn> GhettoPuNKkiD:  thanks. that worked for my Broadcom 4306
[10:16] <mohkohn> Now I just have to convince my Mac OS X nerd girlfriend to let me put ubuntu on her iPod!
[10:16] <gumara> what is http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper-proposed/
[10:16] <Lynoure> mohkohn: hmm, I hope she is not buying from itunes.
[10:17] <godtvisken> I just changed my time using the gnome time display in the corner of the screen, but now when I `sudo` I get an error about timestamp being too far in the future, how do I fix this?
[10:17] <Corporal_Dirge> hahahahaaa, I did it! hidden partition using cascading Serpent-AES encryption. Took all day.
[10:17] <ryan_> my computer is slowing down when i use synaptic
[10:18] <yango> both hidden and encrypted?
[10:18] <detectiveinspekt> the spellcheck feature in openoffice doesn't work! help
[10:18] <Corporal_Dirge> Yup
[10:18] <yango> learn your spelling, detectiveinspekt 8-)
[10:18] <yango> how did you hide it?
[10:18] <detectiveinspekt> true but I really want it to work
[10:18] <mohkohn> Lynoure: that is irrelevant. We put linux on everything from toasters to x boxes to ipods because we can....could be hard on the relationship if I do though  :D
[10:19] <Corporal_Dirge> It's in a partition that appears to be random data.
[10:19] <Lynoure> mohkohn: Ok, if it is irrelevant for her, it is irrelevant.
[10:19] <mohkohn> I better not!
[10:19] <yango> detectiveinspekt, you need to provide more information. A "doesn't work" doesn't work...
[10:20] <mohkohn> I'll get back on topic
[10:20] <ernz> Anyone available to lend a helping hand with a login screen problem I have?
[10:20] <Lynoure> lunchtime for me...
[10:20] <ryan_> what commmand would i type in the terminal to remove the gnome desktop? i think it is slowing down my xubuntu desktop.. I cant run gnome because my comp is slow
[10:20] <detectiveinspekt> it checks but no incorrect words are found
[10:21] <GhettoPuNKkiD> ryan_: how much ram do you have?
[10:21] <yango> maybe you DID learn your spelling
[10:21] <yango> :D
[10:21] <yango> are the dicts installed?
[10:21] <zcat[1] > detectiveinspekt: did you change the language to something it doesn't have a dictionary for? I just checked my own and EnglishNZ doesn't work. I have to use EnglishUK to get spellchecking.
[10:21] <ryan_> just 128MB and its using the swap drive like crazy
[10:21] <detectiveinspekt> ok where is that set?
[10:21] <zcat[1] > options.
[10:21] <zcat[1] > somewhere.
[10:22] <zcat[1] > hang on I'll go back and take another look
[10:22] <GhettoPuNKkiD> ryan_: wow, well to remove gnome: sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop
[10:22] <kriebly> Hi there. Does anyone know when the linux-source-2.6.15 package will be patched for latest local exploit (http://www.frsirt.com/english/advisories/2006/2816)?
[10:22] <zcat[1] > tools > options   language settings
[10:22] <ryan_> ive done that but it wont remove it
[10:23] <GhettoPuNKkiD> ryan_: format and use red hat ;p ubuntu uses lots of ram
[10:23] <GhettoPuNKkiD> ryan_: u need at least 192 to run ubuntu
[10:23] <detectiveinspekt> you talking about gnome or oo? the Default lanuage was English (New Zealand) so I changed to (UK of GB and North Island)
[10:23] <ernz> Am I voiced, CAN ANYONE HEAR ME?
[10:23] <GhettoPuNKkiD> we can hear you
[10:23] <ryan_> i guess I took the wrong rd to learn linux... this is my 4rth day of linux what a frustration
[10:23] <ernz> Wahey!
[10:23] <zcat[1] > OOo's language...
[10:24] <kristian> Someone help me install ati driver??
[10:24] <zcat[1] > (I never actually noticed that before. I always wondered why my spelling was pefrect!)
[10:24] <GhettoPuNKkiD> ryan_: ah, no frustration, it'll get easier
[10:25] <zcat[1] > ernz: you had a question?
[10:25] <detectiveinspekt> yep its UK
[10:25] <ryan_> is redhat easy to use. cause I find ubuntu fairly easy for beginners. especially in installing
[10:25] <GhettoPuNKkiD> well red hat is out played
[10:25] <GhettoPuNKkiD> get fedora
[10:25] <zcat[1] > detectiveinspekt: and you have the UK disctionary installed?
[10:25] <GhettoPuNKkiD> or mandrake
[10:25] <GhettoPuNKkiD> something that uses a lot less ram than ubuntu
[10:25] <ernz> zcat[1] : I cetainly did, thank you. My problem is with a login greeter application that I apparently installed onto Ubuntu.
[10:26] <ryan_> I tried mandrake its quite not user friendly to me... I came from winxp
[10:26] <GhettoPuNKkiD> ryan_: join #ubuntu-offtopic please
[10:26] <dean> hello
[10:26] <detectiveinspekt> whats the package called?
[10:26] <dean> :-)
[10:26] <ryan_> ok thanks. ill try to get answers there
[10:26] <ernz> Whenever I boot up, after the list of services starting (And before the login screen) I get an error message that reads along the lines of "A greeter application appears to be crashing. Attempting to use a different one."
[10:26] <zcat[1] > detectiveinspekt: unknown. apt-cache search it:)
[10:27] <detectiveinspekt> aspell-en is insalled at least
[10:28] <zcat[1] > hopefully someone will know. My dinner is served so I'm outta here!!
[10:28] <ernz> zcat[1] :I think way back when I tried to install a fancy login splash from Gnome-Look.org , but it didn't ever work and just gave me that error message. Now I can't get rid of the error message at all!
[10:30] <ernz> Can anyone help with that?
[10:30] -skorm:#ubuntu- ping
[10:30] <zcat[1] > ernz: yeah, always stick to packaged stuff... :)
[10:30] <someothernick> pong
[10:30] -skorm:#ubuntu- ping
[10:31] <ernz> Is there like a boot script that I can remove the greeter application from?
[10:31] <zcat[1] > ernz: very likely. But first you have to figure out what you installed :)
[10:31] <bilss_> hi folks

[10:37] <uXp> anyone notice but is google.com or anything related to googl down right now!?
[10:38] <cwillu> uXp: pings fine
[10:40] <ic56> date
[10:40] <uXp> cwill1:  i can't get through to google.com
[10:41] <uXp> Can anyone else access GOOGLE.COM?
[10:41] <squid0> hi
[10:42] <cwillu> uXp: yes, works fine
[10:42] <uXp> hmm weird
[10:42] <ke> lol
[10:42] <uXp> i can't access google or any otehr google services
[10:42] <uXp> i get a 404 cannot display
[10:42] <cwillu> uXp: can you ping it?  does it resolve at least?
[10:42] <cwillu> sounds like a proxy problem
[10:42] <GhettoPuNKkiD> uXp: its up
[10:43] <squid0> i'm trying to upgrade from breezy to dapper via the ship-it cd they posted me (just got it today :) ). however when i follow the instructions here (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DapperUpgrades#head-1596eecf4b58a03b3d9f44172a661382f8065a58 ) apt-get update tries to update via the net. I don't want to do this; i want to only use the cd at first, and then use the net afterwards. can someone...
[10:43] <squid0> ... please help me?
[10:43] <cwillu> squid0: might have to mess with your sources.list to disable the net sources temporarily
[10:43] <squid0> cwillu: ok... like comment out all but the cdrom source?
[10:44] <GhettoPuNKkiD> good night all
[10:44] <lassegs> its morning dude!
[10:44] <cwillu> squid0: something like that;  not sure if there's a better way, but that should work
[10:44] <squid0> cwillu: ok... but that somehow does not fortify me with tons of confidence :).....
[10:44] <cwillu> squid0: heh
[10:45] <uXp> lassegs:  haha i agree with you
[10:45] <cwillu> squid0: it'll work, just not sure if there's a more official way to do itt
[10:45] <cwillu> squid0: and there might be some version dependency problems possibly
[10:45] <qwefwqef> how do I get Opera out of my system tray?
[10:45] <squid0> cwillu: but won't i 'lose' all the packages that are not included/referenced in the cd?
[10:45] <cwillu> i.e., universe/multiverse type stuff that's not on the cd
[10:45] <squid0> right
[10:45] <cwillu> squid0: shouldn't
[10:45] <squid0> cwillu: ok.
[10:46] <lassegs> anyone who knows anything about xgl who wants to join me in the #xgl-ubuntu channel?
[10:46] <cwillu> what might happen is one of those packages could break
[10:46] <cwillu> but they shouldn't uninstall unless the cd has something marked as a replacement for it
[10:46] <squid0> and then what?
[10:46] <squid0> ah.. ok
[10:46] <squid0> i certainly hope so
[10:46] <uXp> lassegs:  me
[10:46] <cwillu> then you would reenable the internet sources (for dapper), and they should fix
[10:46] <squid0> ok
[10:46] <squid0> that sounds good.
[10:46] <cwillu> you are, of course, going to back up first, right?  :p
[10:46] <squid0> i hope you're right
[10:46] <squid0> hmmmm.
[10:47] <cwillu> hmmm?  :)
[10:47] <squid0> what, ~ ?
[10:47] <cwillu> data will be fine though
[10:47] <squid0> yes....
[10:47] <qwefwqef> how do I edit the options for my SLED menu please?
[10:47] <cwillu> i.e., you should only be at risk of losing the 'workingness' of various programs
[10:47] <squid0> ok
[10:48] <squid0> well, i'm gonna take the plunge
[10:48] <cwillu> gl :)
[10:48] <squid0> and i don't have any cd's at work so i'm gonna risk not backing up
[10:48] <squid0> thanks :)
[10:48] <HaRDaWaY> hello
[10:48] <squid0> cwillu: i'll be back if i run into any issues :)

[10:51] <uXp> #ubuntu-xgl
[10:51] <lassegs> ok
[10:53] <Corporal_Dirge> ok, I was wrong. It wasn't working. apparently Disks Manager is FUBAR and made me think it was working.
[10:54] <Corporal_Dirge> Now I can't even format the HDD
[10:54] <CyDrive> does anyone now of a linux distro that can automatically run window apps without the need for wine or something like that?
[10:54] <Corporal_Dirge> No
[10:55] <Subhuman> CyDrive, yes, windows :P
[10:55] <Subhuman> no linux app can run windows apps without wine
[10:55] <Subhuman> or a wine variant
[10:56] <CyDrive> yes i now but i mean one intergrated into the os i mean i cant even get wine to wor right
[10:56] <FeestBijtje> Subhuman, wine is origenal but transgaming is a variant... well its exactly the same only commercial
[10:56] <Subhuman> FeestBijtje, I just said that
[10:57] <Subhuman> it was orginally WineX, dedicated to running directX correctly
[10:57] <Subhuman> then it was renamed to this transgaming/cedega
[10:57] <Corporal_Dirge> omg, linux is fubar
[10:57] <timbobsteve> hey all
[10:57] <FeestBijtje> Subhuman, doh :)
[10:57] <FeestBijtje> what is fubar?
[10:57] <Corporal_Dirge> None of the disk managers are working
[10:57] <Subhuman> F*ked up beyond all repair
[10:58] <Subhuman> Corporal_Dirge, not even gparted/qparted?
[10:58] <Corporal_Dirge> nope
[10:58] <kristian> kristian@kristian-desktop:~$ chmod +x ati-driver-installer-8.26.18-x86.run
[10:58] <kristian> chmod: cannot access `ati-driver-installer-8.26.18-x86.run': No such file or directory
[10:58] <kristian> what's wrong?
[10:58] <Subhuman> well then there is a problem with tour hardware
[10:58] <CyDrive> how come when ever i try to say install a windows exe i have through wine i get an error saying this windows directory does not exist?
[10:58] <Subhuman> CyDrive, have you ran winecfg yet?
[10:58] <Subhuman> CyDrive, you have to run winecfg first otherwise wine will fail.
[10:58] <CyDrive> no that could be the problem lol
[10:59] <FeestBijtje> kristian, use sudo chmod +x ati-driver-installer-8.26.18-x86.run
[10:59] <timbobsteve> kristian: that file doesn't exist
[10:59] <Corporal_Dirge> kristian, It won't partition and/or read a partition
[10:59] <timbobsteve> Corporal_Dirge: there is something wrong with your HW
[10:59] <Corporal_Dirge> It was working 15 minutes ago
[10:59] <kristian> FeestBijtje: It dosn't work either :/
[10:59] <Corporal_Dirge> And works in windows.
[11:00] <FeestBijtje> kristian, where is the file...
[11:00] <Corporal_Dirge> And WAS working on linux
[11:00] <timbobsteve> Corporal_Dirge: then reboot... and try the hardware again
[11:00] <kristian> on desktop
[11:00] <timbobsteve> Corporal_Dirge: Linux is unlike windows... it doesn't just die for no apparent reason
[11:00] <FeestBijtje> kristian, type "ls" and make shure the file is there
[11:01] <CyDrive> Do i have to do anything specific when i run winecfg?
[11:01] <Corporal_Dirge> the reboot IS what made it stop working.. then a second reboot and the other program stopped working. I'm afraid to reboot now in case it breaks something else.
[11:01] <Corporal_Dirge> timbobsteve, It dies all the time for no  reason.
[11:01] <timbobsteve> Corporal_Dirge: you what exactly are you trying to do... i came in 1/2 way through the convo
[11:02] <kristian> FeestBitje: It's not there:P When downloading with firefox, it's on the desktop...
[11:02] <timbobsteve> Corporal_Dirge: NO... linux dies because you did something to it... if it worked before... then you did something... linux is unforgiving.
[11:02] <squid0> cwillu, or anyone who can help: i'm upgrading breezy to dapper via the ship-it cd. i edited sources.list after mounting and adding the kubuntu 6.06 cd as a source, so that this is the only enabled (uncommented) source. However when i do apt-get update and then apt-get dist-upgrade, it only upgrades 4 packages. what's going on?
[11:02] <FeestBijtje> kristian, do this commando: find / -name ati-driver-installer-8.26.18-x86.run
[11:02] <Corporal_Dirge> I was partitioning a HDD. gparted doesn't have vfat so I made 2 partitions unformated. Then went into Disks Manager and formated them there.
[11:03] <regress> is there anyway to install over the internet, ala openbsd/fc5?
[11:03] <timbobsteve> Corporal_Dirge: OK.... hmmm GUI frontends aren't perfect.... have you tried using CLI apps?
[11:03] <Corporal_Dirge> timbobsteve, If it dies by me formatting something. (which is normal operation) you may as well say my car died because I turned the key.
[11:04] <kristian> FeestBjitje: ok.
[11:04] <maswan> regress: It requires a bit of fiddling to setup a network boot server, but sure, there is a way.
[11:04] <Corporal_Dirge> timbobsteve, I'm in a sling. I don't want to do that at the moment.
[11:04] <regress> maswan: any terms I could google for?

[11:05] <Corporal_Dirge> timbobsteve, That's not the case. Maybe if I was trying to format a banana. But my analagy is closer than yours.

[11:06] <maswan> the wiki is probably more informative than the files. :)
[11:06] <kristian> FeestBijtje: Yes, /home/kristian/Desktop/, if that could be correct?
[11:07] <timbobsteve> Corporal_Dirge: I will try and help you if you let me
[11:07] <Corporal_Dirge> I can always wipe and reload the HDD for a second time this weekend.
[11:09] <FeestBijtje> kristian, it should be there
[11:09] <Corporal_Dirge> Well, nothing is working. There's not even an error. It's saying my HDD is NTFS when it's not
[11:09] <timbobsteve> Corporal_Dirge: is that what cfdisk said ?
[11:09] <kristian> FeestBijtje: Ok. /home/kristian/Desktop/ati-driver-installer-8.26.18-x86.run. How do I use chmod +x ati-driver-installer-8.26.18-x86.run  now?

[11:10] <timbobsteve> Corporal_Dirge: OK... and what is the hdd device name ?
[11:10] <timbobsteve> celenk: eth0 is the first ethernet card... lo is the loobback device... eth0 is the one you want

[11:22] <link_36p> snoops - You know a super fast way to switch into plain X?
[11:22] <snoops> but not a fun way
[11:22] <snoops> personally I absolutely loathe how much you have to restart x in linux.. the whole thing needs to be rethought!
[11:22] <link_36p> snoops - curresntly i just cooked up a simple script to replace my xorg.conf and kdmrc files

[11:24] <snoops> celenk umm :( do you know if the chipset is supported in nix?
[11:24] <squid0> cwillu, or anyone who can help: i'm upgrading breezy to dapper via the ship-it cd. i edited sources.list after mounting and adding the kubuntu 6.06 cd as a source, so that this is the only enabled (uncommented) source. However when i do apt-get update and then apt-get dist-upgrade, it only upgrades 4 packages. I thought it would upgrade a whole bunch, and do some major work. What's going on?
[11:24] <snoops> or if it's possibly a problem with your network?
[11:24] <kristian> FeestBijtje: I have to "sudo aticonfig --initial" but it seems that I don't have xorg.conf?
[11:25] <celenk> snoops, I'm not sure, but this computer is also on linux, hooked up to the network
[11:25] <JdGordon> anyone been able to install libsdl-dev on ubuntu?
[11:25] <kristian> I have tried to sudo /etc/x11/xorg.conf, but it's empty.
[11:25] <FeestBijtje> kristian, xorg.conf is located in /etx/x11/xorg.conf
[11:25] <stgraber> mcpowley: The next version of rhythmbox will do all the things you want. Maybe you can find a backport from Edgy
[11:25] <link_36p> squid0 - try "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[11:26] <snoops> because it's a capital X11 kristian
[11:26] <snoops> /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:26] <squid0> link_36p: no joy :( just tells me that 8 packages can't be upgraded
[11:26] <link_36p> Hmmm
[11:27] <link_36p> im assuming you already did
[11:27] <snoops> celenk not sure dude.. I'm too inexperienced in that area :(
[11:27] <link_36p> an update squid?
[11:27] <link_36p> apt-get update
[11:27] <snoops> link_36p err well I think you could script it all
[11:27] <squid0> link_36p: for breezy, or for dapper?
[11:27] <kristian> FeestBijtje: Nice ;)
[11:27] <link_36p> snoops - oh really even the login you think?
[11:27] <link_36p> squid - dapper
[11:28] <JdGordon> how do i get around this? "libglib2.0-dev: Depends: libglib2.0-0 (= 2.10.2-1ubuntu3) but 2.10.3-0ubuntu1 is to be installed"
[11:28] <squid0> link_36p: that's the thing: i don't want to use the net, cause i can't download much. i'd rather use the cd first, and then 'patch up' the updates from the net
[11:28] <celenk> snoops, and I don't think it's the chipset, as I found a post of someone using the same mobo as me with no problems on same ubuntu version =(
[11:28] <FeestBijtje> kristian, found it?
[11:29] <snoops> you probably will have to enter password I guess.. I'm just thinking you could use xvkbd to send x your keyboard commands
[11:29] <link_36p> squid0 - Are you upgrading a breezy install with a dapper CD?
[11:29] <kristian> Feestbijtje: Yes :) But have to restart now, brb.
[11:29] <squid0> link_36p: yes
[11:29] <link_36p> snoops - http://pastebin.ca/90084
[11:29] <mcpowley> stgraber, Rhythmbox is kind of slow, but it's nice...where's the album art support thouygh? I was using gmusicbrowser, which I was liking a lot, but I couldn't get the album art fetcher to work
[11:31] <link_36p> squid0 - unhonestly I dont know much about the subject but it sounds like its not using the CD, could you identify that the 4 packages it did list for upgrade were in fact from the CD?
[11:31] <snoops> link_36p not sure about auto gdm logins.. another ttyl maybe?
[11:31] <link_36p> snoops - sure thing man
[11:32] <Corporal_Dirge> Well, 50G being encrypted through USB 1.1, I won't find out if this worked for another 12 hours.
[11:32] <matusbraga> I'm with a problem, my aMule is crashing and closing. How i do to repair?
[11:32] <celenk> snoops, or anyone else - when I set up a static ip, and try to ping the router, it gives me a "Destination host unreachable" error
[11:32] <squid0> link_36p: well, about half an hour ago it did update a few (about 4) packages from the cd. so i guess that these ones that it isn't updating are because of some conflict. but yes, i think i can confirm that they're from the cd
[11:32] <Enverex> Are there any programs that let me write to an NTFS partition?
[11:32] <rpedro> matusbraga: /join #amule
[11:33] <egonw_> how can I verify wether a network chip on my machine's motherboard is broken or not?
[11:33] <kristian> Feestbijtje: Now I did fglrxinfo, but Mesa is still there.. :/
[11:33] <snoops> as far as xvkbd is concerned I'd send it.. "/usr/binxvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Ctrl_L] \[Alt_L] \[Backspace] ""
[11:34] <snoops> do you get any info if you ifconfig in terminal celenk?
[11:34] <Enverex> kristian, did you set /etc/X11/xorg.conf to use the fglrx video driver rather than ati?
[11:34] <Corporal_Dirge> Enverex, yes. I can't recal off the top of my head. Google will show it. I think there was a slashdot article a couple days ago too.
[11:34] <snoops> (pastebin.ca it)
[11:34] <Enverex> Thanks Corporal_Dirge
[11:34] <rpedro> kristian: go to http://ubuntuforums.org , and search for 'ati mesa issue' , there's a topic therre on that
[11:34] <Lynoure> egonw_: install a configuration that is known to work with that chip, then try? No easier way than that, I suppose. And even that is not bulletproof
[11:34] <link_36p> squid0 - Im kinda stumped on this one, (seeing as how when it upgraded the 4 it SHOULD upgrade any other availible packages), and i cannot think of any reason why it wouldnt, are you sure that you have not performed any updates online recently?
[11:34] <kristian> Enverex: No, how do I do that=
[11:34] <egonw_> Lynoure: can confirm that...
[11:34] <kristian> ?
[11:35] <kristian> rpedro: On my way :)
[11:35] <egonw_> Lynoure: one moment I was online, the next the led on the hub was out for the port of my machine
[11:35] <rpedro> kristian: but first check that you did enable fglrx in your xorg.conf
[11:35] <celenk> snoops, yes, it gives me an inet addr of <IP_ADDRESS> which is what I set it to... other than that what would I be looking for?
[11:35] <squid0> link_36p: i think i last updated breezy last night via apt-get update
[11:35] <cristy> hello
[11:35] <egonw_> Lynoure:  so, I had a working setup up to some moment this morning
[11:35] <Enverex> kristian, open the file I just told you about, go about 3/4 the way down where it has your video card and change where it says Driver to fglrx instead of ati
[11:36] <Enverex> Corporal_Dirge, Damn, it's not in synaptic :(
[11:36] <snoops> not too sure sorry celenk
[11:36] <kristian> Enverex: It is fglrx
[11:36] <FeestBijtje> kristian, try to google it up i don't know how to fix that :(
[11:36] <Enverex> hmm, it should be right then
[11:36] <link_36p> squid0 - I believe the majority of packages will have the same version no matter what distos repo it comes from.
[11:37] <kristian> Feestbijtje: I'll try everything :) Thx alot
[11:37] <kristian> :)

[11:40] <link_36p> celenk - Forgive me if i ask you to do things snoops has already told you, to start out with a dummie (i just like to get  a feel for the situation) question, are the LEDs on the ethernet port and router indicated a connection?
[11:40] <Enverex> Corporal_Dirge, Yup
[11:40] <celenk> link_36p, yes
[11:40] <amit> its tar.gz package
[11:40] <Enverex> Corporal_Dirge, Neither ntfs-3g (the one you refered to) and Captive are in synaptic
[11:40] <mcpowley> stgraber, Oh, I read your message wrong ;) MmMm edgy scheduled for release october right?

[11:42] <link_36p> squid0 - I believe after that you might be able to use dapper repos/
[11:42] <rpedro> kristian: I think it is an howto

[11:49] <Seveas> Enverex, fuse in dapper is 2.4 so you're out of luck unless you rebuild the fuse module and lib from source
[11:49] <celenk> link_36p, the chipset seems to not work entirely with ubuntu 5.10, apparently it's fixed in dapper, but as I'm out of blank cds, I'm stuck with the 5.10 cd

[11:49] <celenk> link_36p, ULI chipset, that is

[12:11] <Wizardling> Hi. For the second release in a row Ubuntu for Mac does not work on old CRT iMacs
[12:12] <Wizardling> after the loading screen there's nothing.
[12:12] <Wizardling> just a blank screen
[12:12] <narfmaster> Wizardling, is the clock set?
[12:12] <Lynoure> Ignite_: Which version of Amarok?
[12:12] <Enverex> Seveas, Wasn't hard to get working, just installed gcc, gcc++ then compiled libfuse and then compiled ntfs-3g, heh
[12:12] <Skorm> Wizardling: looks like you have a problem
[12:12] <DarkMageZ> narfmaster, hmm, k, i'll give that a try
[12:13] <Ignite_> Lynoure, 1.4.1
[12:13] <Seveas> Enverex, I never said compiling would be hard - packaging will be ;)
[12:13] <Wizardling> Yes, the clock is set - why would that result in a blank screen after the loading screen?
[12:13] <Enverex> Seveas, Oh I know, but I come from Gentoo where things just brake for the hell of it, lol
[12:13] <Lynoure> Ignite_: I found a lot of things hinting at a bug in libxine causing this
[12:13] <narfmaster> Wizardling, i was thinking you had the "date bug"
[12:13] <Enverex> Is it possible to give a user permission to mount and unmount any drives?
[12:14] <Seveas> Enverex, that sounds like a pretty accurat edescription of gentoo
[12:14] <Ignite_> Lynoure, yeah, guys in #amarok said to upgrade it to version 1.1.2, gonna give it a try :)
[12:14] <narfmaster> Wizardling, that's what the date bug would do
[12:14] <Lynoure> Ignite_: Sounds like a good next step.
[12:14] <Wizardling> IIRC I got the live CD of the previous release working with a change of the default screen resolution.
[12:14] <KJro> hello all ..
[12:14] <Enverex> I used Gentoo for about 4 years in total, spent most the time fixing it. I got Ubuntu set up with everything installed in about 30 mins (I mean with all my own programs added) where as I'd still be compiling 20 hours or more later with Gentoo.
[12:15] <Enverex> Seveas, ? Is it possible to give a user permission to mount and unmount any drives?
[12:15] <Wizardling> But as to FINDING that info again...
[12:15] <Wizardling> It was a known problem with Ubuntu on CRT iMacs.
[12:15] <Wizardling> Very frustrating this has not been fixed.
[12:15] <Seveas> enverix, put this in /etc/sudoers: the_username ALL=NOPASSWD: mount
[12:15] <Dai-Galean> Wizardling:: It does sound like you have a issue with the Desktopmanager and resolutions
[12:15] <narfmaster> Wizardling, you should try to update your firmware as well
[12:15] <Seveas> then the_username can use sudo to mount
[12:16] <Wizardling> My fireware is updated
[12:16] <narfmaster> Wizardling, :) just checking
[12:16] <Wizardling> the iMacs in question normally run MacOS 10.3.9
[12:16] <KJro> HOW  do i rename a set of 81 files from "Picture 001.jpg"  to "Picture001.jpg" .. where the 3 digit number 001 go's to 081  ????
[12:16] <Infecto> man bash
[12:17] <narfmaster> man rename
[12:17] <Enverex> Seveas, I still get "Unable to mount the selected volume. mount: only root can mount /dev/sdc1 on /media/sdc1"
[12:17] <Seveas> 'sudo mount /dev/sdc1'
[12:17] <maswan> KJro: rename 's/ //' (be careful with rename though, you want to look it up and figure out what it does. if in doubt, make a backup copy in another directory of the files)
[12:17] <Enverex> Seveas, I'm clicking a button on the Gnome panel, I can't put sudo infront of that, heh
[12:18] <Enverex> Hence why I asked for a way to give users permission to just mount any drives (without su or sudo)
[12:18] <KJro> you know.... i read man off rename did a search in google.... and .. well maybe i am dumm ... but i have no idea how to explain to him .. what i want
[12:18] <Dai-Galean> Wizardling:: have you tried isntalling it with out a DM and x and see if you get the cmd line
[12:18] <Wizardling> Well, searching Ubuntu's help for iMac screen resolution results in nada
[12:18] <cef> Enverex: 'man gksudo'
[12:18] <KJro> was hoping some of you could just give me the exact expression
[12:19] <Dai-Galean> And good morning to everyone btw
[12:19] <KJro> maswan -> any idea ?
[12:19] <maswan> KJro: rename 's/ //' Picture*
[12:19] <KJro> could you explain to me what it dose ?
[12:19] <KJro> s/ is ?
[12:19] <Enverex> cef: That still needs you to run gksudo infront of it =/
[12:19] <DarkMageZ> narfmaster, no change :(
[12:19] <Enverex> hmm, maybe I'll just change my UID to 0 and be done with it, heh
[12:20] <Dai-Galean> <-- Has now been running ubuntu for 3 or so months and thought I would see what the community in the irc was like
[12:20] <maswan> KJro: it replaces (s/ = substitute) the " " to the bit between the last two //'s (that is, nothing).
[12:20] <narfmaster> DarkMageZ, surprising
[12:20] <narfmaster> DarkMageZ, that always worked for me
[12:20] <maswan> KJro: s/ic/moo/ would leave you with Pmooture...
[12:20] <cristiano> hello i have found a mdf image which has been splitted in .md0 and md1, do u know hot to rebuild them?
[12:20] <KJro> aha .... now i get it.... do you have something to count ?
[12:21] <sonny> i install an ubuntu on my notebook but have a promble the screen always display black how can i do?
[12:21] <KJro> like  : rename bunch of random named files to name<number> ?
[12:21] <maswan> KJro: If you want the numbers to stay the same, you can just run that. If you want to renumber the pictures, that gets trickier.
[12:21] <cef> Enverex: you can make a button that runs gksudo, which runs the command. just right click on the button, hit properties, and add 'gksudo ' before the command you want to run
[12:21] <Enverex> That's not the point
[12:22] <Enverex> These are the automated mount buttons that appear on their own
[12:22] <narfmaster> Enverex, i think you'd need to edit fstab for what you want
[12:22] <Axe_> Does anyone know if its possible to run a program in Wine that uses the firewire port
[12:22] <KJro> manswan could you point me to an explanation to all the param's ..... ?
[12:22] <cef> Enverex: ahh those things. then you probably want to do something like adding the 'user' option to the fstab entry
[12:22] <foreman> hi, can anyone tell me how to change my system wide setting to iso-8859-15 rather then utf-8?
[12:22] <Enverex> They don't have fstab entries as they are automatic via DBUS
[12:23] <maswan> KJro: man rename and man perlre
[12:23] <Enverex> Meh, I'll just switch to UID0 and not worry about it, thanks anyway
[12:23] <cristiano> no clues for me?
[12:23] <cef> Enverex: ok.. is the user a member of the plugdev group? cos I can do this sort of stuff by default
[12:23] <maswan> KJro: man perlrequick might be a quicker and easier reading than perlre
[12:23] <Enverex> cef: Erm, probably not, I'd never heard of it
[12:24] <narfmaster> Enverex, did you look at pmount?
[12:24] <Enverex> I guess I dislike not being UID0 anyway as I have to keep typing in the root password all the time and don't have rights to save to places and have to keep jumping through hoops
[12:24] <cef> Enverex: pmount, dbus and plugdev sort of work together on this
[12:25] <Enverex> Yeah, I'm already in the plugdev group
[12:25] <foreman> anyone? I bet it's not that hard, I just n't know how to do it
[12:25] <cristiano> pls guys help me!!! i have mdf, mds, md0 and md1, how to build md0 and md1 to have again the mdf complete file?
[12:25] <foreman> the language selecter doesn't offer system wide default locale selection
[12:25] <cef> Enverex: what's the tool you're using? is it the "Disk Mounter" applet?
[12:25] <foreman> and dpkg-reconfigure locales doesn't offer it either (nor does it offer me a selection of what locales to install)
[12:25] <KJro> it says no manual entry for perlequick
[12:26] <Enverex> cef: Yes, I also can't mount or unmount from the icon that appear on the desktop either
[12:26] <Enverex> Other than "omg u r going to get h4x3d!!" argument, is there anything wrong with running as UID0?
[12:26] <Axe_> Does anyone know if its possible to run a program in Wine that uses the firewire port? Any ideas
[12:26] <Axe_> I'm gessing no
[12:26] <cef> Enverex: that's very weird.. sounds definitely like a permissions problem of some sort, or something isn't communicating
[12:26] <doneir> foreman, yeah, dapper changed how you setup locales
[12:26] <foreman> doneir: and how can one do that now?
[12:27] <pjot> anyone familiar with gambas who can help me a bit?
[12:27] <narfmaster> cristiano, you may be stuck having to use Alcohol
[12:27] <doneir> foreman, there's a thread on the wiki.ubuntu.com forums (i think... it's ubuntu something, think it's the wiki) that shows how to do it now. Or alternatively, just google for "dapper dpkg-reconfigure locales", you'll get a number of hits
[12:27] <cef> Enverex: were you a member of the plugdev group or did you just add yourself?
[12:27] <Enverex> cef: Always have been afaikt
[12:27] <cristiano> narfmaster: u suggest to use Alcohol on linux?
[12:27] <foreman> doneir: okay, thanks
[12:27] <Enverex> -k +c
[12:28] <narfmaster> cristiano, i don't think you can :/
[12:28] <cef> Enverex: ok good.. just if you weren't, you'd need to log out and back in again... hrmmm
[12:28] <narfmaster> cristiano, but why on Earth would you need it?
[12:28] <Enverex> cef: Other than "omg u r going to get h4x3d!!" argument, is there anything wrong with running as UID0?
[12:28] <cristiano> narfmaster: i've never seen splitted mdf files before so i dunno what to do on Linux :(
[12:28] <cristiano> narfmaster: i've found a DVD image which appear to have been splitted in this strange way :(
[12:28] <narfmaster> cristiano, sorry all i ever deal with are iso and nrg files
[12:28] <Axe_> is there any easy way to access SMB shares?
[12:28] <narfmaster> cristiano, have you tried Nero?
[12:29] <Axe_> And make them automatically mount
[12:29] <doneir> crimsun, you can use mdf2iso to convert an mdf to an iso, but a split mdf? not sure
[12:29] <cristiano> narfmaster: negative, where to find Nero for Linux?
[12:29] <snoops> you can grab a nautilus script to mount them Axe_
[12:29] <narfmaster> cristiano, Nero makes a version for Linux - just search on their site
[12:29] <Axe_> snoops, where would I find a said script
[12:29] <doneir> apparently it's not too crash hot though
[12:30] <cristiano> narfmaster: thx i'll let u know :) btw i don't want to burn this image but just open it
[12:30] <cef> Enverex: what does 'cat /sys/block/sdc/removable' say?
[12:31] <snoops> Axe_ http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/cat-filesysmgt.php
[12:31] <snoops> I believe you're looking for mount samba share in particular
[12:31] <Dai-Galean> cristiano:: http://www.nero.com/en/NeroLINUX.html
[12:31] <Enverex> cef: 0
[12:31] <cef> Enverex: that'd be it then
[12:32] <cef> Enverex: edit /etc/pmount.allow and add in the devices you want to allow people to mount/unmount
[12:32] <cristiano> thx Dai-Galean
[12:32] <Dai-Galean> np
[12:33] <Wizardling1> is there a list of known problems with Ubuntu for Mac?
[12:33] <Enverex> cef, Erm, I want to allow everything that I may ever plug in, but unless it accept "*" then that's going to be a mess
[12:33] <Corporal_Dirge> no shockwave for Firefox on Linux?
[12:34] <Enverex> Corporal_Dirge, Only AMD64
[12:34] <snoops> no shockwave at all
[12:34] <Enverex> Oh, I'm thinking flash
[12:34] <Enverex> heh
[12:34] <Corporal_Dirge> Damn.
[12:34] <cef> Enverex: if it's removab le, then it would automatically allow you access regardless
[12:34] <Enverex> cef, Well it isn't, heh
[12:34] <Enverex> cef: Other than "omg u r going to get h4x3d!!" argument, is there anything wrong with running as UID0? <<
[12:34] <cef> Enverex: according to the kernel though, sdc isn't removable
[12:34] <Corporal_Dirge> No wonder all my usual sites don't work
[12:34] <Enverex> cef: It's SATA and I plugged it in after boot
[12:34] <cef> Enverex: you won't get support from anyone here running everything as uid0
[12:34] <DarkMageZ> narfmaster, interestingly enough, i added 1280x1024 to the list, and that works. very odd
[12:35] <Enverex> cef: Why?
[12:35] <Pecisk> Enverex: let's say it is not wrong, it is not simply clever and safe
[12:35] <narfmaster> DarkMageZ, yes it is odd
[12:35] <cef> Enverex: because it's not a supported way
[12:35] <sonny> i install an ubuntu on my notebook but have a promble the screen always display black how can i do?
[12:35] <Enverex> Pecisk, How is it not "clever and safe"?
[12:35] <Enverex> I'm kinda just getting sick of having to jump through hoops all the time and not being able to do it the easy way because, for lack of reason, it's "not clever and safe"
[12:36] <cef> Enverex: apart from the "you can be hacked" type aspect, there is also the "you've just accidently deleted most of your drive" type problems
[12:36] <Enverex> cef: What is the difference between rm -rf / and sudo rm -rf /? Nothing
[12:36] <Enverex> That's a moot point
[12:36] <Wizardling1> God, I can't believe Ubuntu 6.06 is broken on tray-loading iMacs, just as 5.10 was.
[12:37] <cef> Enverex: and ubuntu has been laid out speficially to avoid needing root where possible, so you may get unexplained behaviour
[12:37] <narfmaster> tray-loading iMacs?
[12:37] <Wizardling1> yes
[12:37] <void^> Enverex: you are free to do whatever you want. just when you ask questions on irc and mention you run everything as root, don't be surprised about random bashing. :]
[12:37] <Flannel> !tell Enverex about sudo
[12:37] <narfmaster> i've only ever seen slot-loaders
[12:37] <Flannel> Enverex: that page goes over the merits of using sudo
[12:37] <hyperstream> !xgl
[12:37] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[12:37] <Enverex> Flannel, Please try reading the conversation before pointing out uncessary things
[12:38] <Enverex> Well I need to enter the damn password all the time while running anything from the admin menu (Why? I'm the only user) and not being able to do things like access my own damn drives
[12:38] <Flannel> Enverex: you were asking for WHY sudo should be used, that page goes over it.
[12:38] <narfmaster> Enverex, man root_sudo
[12:38] <Enverex> I've been using Linux for over 4 years, I KNOW what sudo is and does
[12:39] <teroedni> Enverex; sudo stays on for a while dosent it?
[12:39] <narfmaster> Enverex, that man root_sudo is Ubuntu-specific
[12:39] <Enverex> I'm just sick of having to enter my password 8000 times a day and having to append sudo to any commands in the terminal
[12:39] <doneir> then just spawn a root shell (sudo -s) and work to your hearts content
[12:39] <thoreauputic> Enverex: so use sudo -i
[12:40] <Guest477> use the way you like if you are comfortable with a lower lever of security, but i must say
[12:40] <Guest477> the annoyance is a small price
[12:40] <Pecisk> Enverex: if you have to use root password 8000 times a day, then is very big possibility that you do something very wrong :)
[12:40] <Guest477> i know what he means though
[12:40] <Flannel> Enverex: you can mount your drives so you don't need sudo to access them.
[12:41] <Pecisk> Enverex: and there is sudo bash for nasty console of mighty root
[12:41] <Enverex> Ok, when I was running Windows I was never "haxored" so the chance of it happening while running Ububtu is even more remote and if I'm going to do something stupid and issue a command to format my HD it still wont make any difference because I'll just have put sudo infront of it
[12:41] <Guest477> for instance... my ip is always detected at boot, the router ip not the isp ip
[12:41] <Guest477> i change it each time i logon
[12:41] <Guest477> can i fix that permanently?
[12:41] <Flannel> Enverex: since you obviously know everything, one wonders why you're here in the first place.  besides to allow us to bask in your glory.
[12:41] <cef> this all started because his SATA drive that was plugged in AFTER boot is not marked as removable. this to me looks like a kernel bug, as it's not marking the drive as removable. if it did, this wouldn't be suck a big problem
[12:42] <Axe_> http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/nautilus-scripts/File%20System%20Management/Mount_Samba_Share how would I go about using this script
[12:42] <Enverex> cef: Well, having to enter the root password EVERY TIME I select something on the admin system menu is equally as annoying
[12:42] <Enverex> I just don't see the logic in all this paranoia of running as root
[12:43] <thoreauputic> Enverex: the question is not whether Linux is ready for you, but whether you are ready for Linux
[12:43] <roshan_s> Enverex: By default it only asks for your password if it's more than IIRC 5 min after you last entered it
[12:43] <Enverex> thoreauputic, I'm sorry, who exactly asked that question?
[12:43] <Dai-Galean> Enverex:: basically it more so jsut for saftey
[12:43] <Guest477> my ip is always detected at boot, the router ip not the isp ip.... can i fix this so that i won't need to change it manually each time?
[12:44] <cef> Enverex: you could just 'man sudoers', look for 'authenticate' and then update your sudo config to NOT PROMPT for passwords you know.
[12:44] <void^> Enverex: use `sudo -i` for laziness. that's as far as any sane person needs to go.
[12:44] <thoreauputic> Enverex: consider it a comment on your current state of mind
[12:44] <Enverex> cef, That still means any programs that need root (and don't use gksudo) will need me to run them from a terminal sudoing
[12:44] <doneir> Guest477, short answer: yes see 'man interfaces'
[12:44] <mp3guy> I'm having a problem installing libavahi-client-dev, synaptic says its not installable
[12:44] <Guest477> thank you don
[12:44] <cef> Enverex: did I say it was a full solution to your woes?
[12:44] <Axe_> http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/nautilus-scripts/File%20System%20Management/Mount_Samba_Share how would I go about using this script
[12:45] <Flannel> !tell Axe_ about samba
[12:45] <roshan_s> Enverex: That's not true. gksudo respects the sudo settings
[12:45] <Flannel> Axe_: use that howto instead
[12:45] <Enverex> roshan_s, I said if a program DIDN'T use gksudo
[12:45] <Flannel> Enverex: SUDO respects sudo settings
