[08:24] <derek> Wammy, "Removable Drives & Media"?
[08:24] <trappist> Maniqui: I just keep one separate partition for 'data' so I don't have to worry about it when reinstalling
[08:24] <Wammy> nope
[08:24] <Wammy> try on the other menu
[08:24] <skora> tyler, there's azureus, bittorrent itself,
[08:24] <phr3x> ## Backports
[08:24] <phr3x> deb http://ubuntu-backports.mirrormax.net/ hoary-backports main universe multiverse restricted
[08:24] <phr3x> deb http://ubuntu-backports.mirrormax.net/ hoary-extras main universe multiverse restricted ( i tried using those and replacing hoary with breezy, but it didn't work )
[08:24] <owner989> it depends on how big your harddrive is
[08:24] <Maniqui> Stormx2, wich filesystem use your Media partition?
[08:24] <Tony_Sidaway> Maniqui, on a small system I run everything in one partition, with one extra swap partition.
[08:24] <tyler> skora, can i get that through SPM, or do i need to DL
[08:24] <derek> Wammy, k
[08:24] <mwe> Maniqui: some people like loads of partitions. personally I have just one large one
[08:25] <gallonegro_> were do i add new fonts
[08:25] <gnomefreak> phr3x,  please dont paste and read the pm you got from ubotu
[08:25] <Stormx2> Maniqui: FAT32 (XFAT)
[08:25] <spacey> phr3x, ubotu is wrong
[08:25] <spacey> too bad
[08:25] <Stormx2> Maniqui: i really recommend using FAT for sharing
[08:25] <spacey> phr3x, just search on the wiki
[08:25] <derek> Wammy, there's this option "Computer" under Places
[08:25] <gnomefreak> phr3x, mirrormax backports dont work and havent for a while
[08:25] <Stormx2> spacey: ubotu is never wrong.
[08:25] <Wammy> no, go to another meny
[08:25] <spacey> Stormx2, mirrormax is bad
[08:25] <Wammy> menu*
[08:25] <Wammy> after that
[08:25] <bluefoxicy> oh sweet.
[08:25] <spacey> and offline
[08:25] <owner989> fat32 makes a good partition to share between ubuntu and windows
[08:25] <phr3x> okay, thanks dude :)
[08:25] <bluefoxicy> Fregging sweet
[08:25] <derek> Wammy, System doesn't have "Disks"
[08:25] <gallonegro_> were do i add new fonts?
[08:25] <tyler> Does anyone know if I can get Azereus through SPM?
[08:25] <bluefoxicy> so much less memory used @.@
[08:26] <Wammy> hrm.
[08:26] <Wammy> i cant remeber the menu name
[08:26] <Wammy> one sec.
[08:26] <Stormx2> bluefoxicy: Hmm?
[08:26] <mwe> if you need to store files larger than 4GB fat32 can't handle it
[08:26] <Maniqui> ok, I jsut wanted to know if in Ubuntu/Linux, it applies the same logic of have the OS in one place and the volatile information in other... Because, for sure, I bet I will reinstall Ubuntu more than once
[08:26] <derek> Wammy, System>Administration has 'Device Manager'
[08:26] <gnomefreak> ext3 rules :)
[08:26] <Wammy> try that
[08:26] <Wammy> my install has an extra one there that is Disks
[08:26] <owner989> gnome is ext3 better than reiserfs
[08:27] <tyler> Is KDE just another GUI, similar to GNOME?
[08:27] <derek> Wammy, i'm running hoary
[08:27] <Wammy> ah
[08:27] <Wammy> ok
[08:27] <Wammy> yeah
[08:27] <Wammy> try that
[08:27] <bluefoxicy> owner989:  xfs I like.
[08:27] <gnomefreak> tyler, i think it is but you can search it in there
[08:27] <Wammy> should give you a list of hard disks
[08:27] <Tony_Sidaway> If you need contiguous files bigger than 4GB, I give up.  The End of the World is Nigh. :)
[08:27] <Wammy> find out what /dev it is
[08:27] <trappist> tyler: yes
[08:27] <bluefoxicy> tyler:  yeah.  It uses a lot more memory XP
[08:27] <tyler> gnomefreak, i didn't see it.  I'll just DL from the site.
[08:27] <gnomefreak> owner989,  my opion yes from what i hear its alot better
[08:27] <bluefoxicy> Tony_Sidaway:  DVD images, 4.9M
[08:27] <Stormx2> How do I find out what icon a certain launcher is using (gnome)
[08:27] <Wammy> then you can make an ext3 (or your choice of filesystem) on that /dev/
[08:27] <Wammy> then mount /dev/... /Dir
[08:27] <Stormx2> Tony_Sidaway: Try liking anime >.>
[08:27] <gnomefreak> tyler, gbittorrent is good
[08:27] <tyler> bluefoxicy, why are KDE files offered in SPM if I run GNOME? Does it just not try to see what I have?
[08:27] <bluefoxicy> Tony_Sidaway: 4.9G sorry. Dual-layer uDF images would be 8.4 (9.8 if it was a full size dl)
[08:28] <tyler> gnomefreak, thanks :)
[08:28] <Tony_Sidaway> tyler, Gnome was started as a free alternative to KDE, which at that time was under a non-free license.
[08:28] <MrKennie> I'm having trouble with dibusb locating firmware. Where does ubuntu expect dvb firmware to live?
[08:28] <tyler> Tony_Sidaway, ohh
[08:28] <bluefoxicy> tyler:  what is spm?
[08:28] <derek> Wammy, ... it just shows that there's a slave drive connected and its physical properties
[08:28] <tyler> bluefoxicy, Synaptic Package Manager
[08:28] <Wammy> hmm
[08:28] <Wammy> im not sure how else to find it
[08:28] <derek> Wammy, do you know the cli way?
[08:28] <Tony_Sidaway> tyler, both are good.  Each has its fans.
[08:28] <Wammy> no :/ didnt try
[08:28] <Maniqui> the final question: can I access to the data in my NTFS partitions? More than 5 GB of mp3s that I would like to enjoy while learning Ubuntu
[08:28] <tyler> gnomefreak, I didn't see that in package manager, should it be there?
[08:28] <bluefoxicy> tyler:  oh, they're offered because they're there.  You can install KDE from synaptic if you want; there isn't a separate kde/gnome ubuntu package database, though there should be.
[08:28] <derek> k
[08:28] <trappist> tyler: you can install kde packages all day long, and even run them.  it's not going to hide them from you just because you use gnome.
[08:28] <bluefoxicy> Tony_Sidaway: KDE is an impediment to progress.
[08:28] <owner989> you can read but not write to NTFS partititons maniqui
[08:29] <tyler> bluefoxicy, oh okay i get it
[08:29] <Maniqui> I know I can mount NTFS partitions. But right now, all my NTFS are "locked"
[08:29] <Tony_Sidaway> Whatever
[08:29] <derek> Please can someone tell me how to use a slave drive I plugged in?
[08:29] <MrKennie> or more to the point. Where does it expect any firmware?
[08:29] <trappist> Maniqui: linux lacks ntfs write support
[08:29] <gnomefreak> gbittorrent is there just cant remember the name they use for it click on search and type in bittorrent and you should get all that are avilable
[08:29] <bluefoxicy> Tony_Sidaway:  It uses the Qt toolkit, which interacts differently with the user than the more commonly used GTK+; in a mixed environment you have twice as much crap loaded in memory.
[08:29] <owner989> there is captive ntfs
[08:29] <Stormchaser> owner989: not quite... That was  case in early 2.4 kernels
[08:29] <owner989> but its not safe
[08:29] <gallonegro_> were do i add new fonts?
[08:29] <Maniqui> ok, Dont want to write, just want to read.
[08:29] <owner989> from what i hear
[08:29] <gnomefreak> atleast the ones your sources allow you to have
[08:29] <bluefoxicy> Tony_Sidaway: Not to mention file and print dialogs that look vastly different and confuse the lower end of non-technical users.
[08:29] <owner989> reading is fine maniqui
[08:29] <ufk> hiya. when i try to run kde or gnome my computer freeze, fluxbox, afterstep, xfce4, enlightenment, everything else works just fine. any ideas why?
[08:29] <Maniqui> Thansk everyone in this chat, you are very helpful
[08:30] <trappist> Maniqui: oh, then you just need to mount with the 'uid=1000' option or 'umask=000'
[08:30] <owner989> maniqui hows that there's a slave drive connected and its physical properties
[08:30] <owner989> * jsteidl has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
[08:30] <owner989> tyler bluefoxicy, Synaptic Pa
[08:30] <owner989> http://www.ubuntuguide.org/#mountunmountntfs
[08:30] <Maniqui> I have a command line written in a paper that says: "unmask=0222"
[08:30] <gnomefreak> !ubuntuguide
[08:30] <ubotu> it has been said that ubuntuguide is an unofficial guide written by community members. It is not guaranteed to be up to date, or to work. There is an official guide, at http://help.ubuntu.com which is preferred.
[08:30] <aru> I would like to know why I cannot update, every time I click install on the update program a progress box opens then closes but never installs anything
[08:30] <bluefoxicy> Tony_Sidaway:  KDE would be fine if it was written in gtk+ or gtkmm or whatever, the same shit everything else is written in.
[08:30] <mwe> Maniqui: umask
[08:30] <Maniqui> umask! that was the problem...
[08:31] <tyler> gnomefreak, were you thinking of qtorrent?
[08:31] <owner989> gnome is written in a faster programming language
[08:31] <gnomefreak> tyler hold on a min il look
[08:31] <bluefoxicy> owner989:  True that, though I have better arguments than C/C++ jabberwocky  :)
[08:31] <hoasd> does someone what package install the wireless of breezy?
[08:32] <hoasd> i have a wireless card i want to use but i need breezy dependencys
[08:32] <Maniqui> wow! ubotu gives that answer whenever you write something with "ubuntuguide"?
[08:32] <hoasd> ?
[08:32] <Stormx2> Back, thunderstorms keep cutting my internet
[08:32] <Stormchaser> NOT MY FAULT!

[08:39] <tyler> gnomefreak, what is it though
[08:39] <gnomefreak> penguinitus,  you have to give us the link after you paste and send it
[08:39] <gnomefreak> tyler not sure if i remembered what it stood for i could tell you
[08:39] <korhalf> owner989: It worked man
[08:39] <iguana> when is going to be available the new version of Ubuntu? Has it name?
[08:39] <korhalf> owner989: i was jus tplaying wolf et no problem

[08:40] <eternalist> iguana: it will be called Drapper Drake or something like that, coming out sometime in april.
[08:40] <owner989> korhalf did you try easy ubuntu
[08:40] <gnomefreak> iguana, dapper is the ubuntu thats in development
[08:40] <zcat[1] > dapper will be the next version (6.04) ?
[08:40] <eternalist> owner989: yeah and it worked man
[08:40] <gnomefreak> yes zcat[1]
[08:40] <mwe> iguana: 6.04, dapper 2006, april
[08:40] <owner989> cool eternalist :D
[08:40] <gnomefreak> dapper drake :)
[08:40] <eternalist> owner989: thanks, plus i got realplayer working which i wanted to do anyway with 0 effort lol
[08:40] <tyler> Juhaz, i'm on gnome-look.org and theres a section called GTK 1+ and 2+, I was wondering what it was
[08:40] <penguinitus> I posted in #pastebin (correct? it didn't give me a link)
[08:40] <owner989> yea it also installs all the codecs
[08:41] <eternalist> i know, its perfect
[08:41] <eternalist> and it makes ubuntu start with num lock enabled
[08:41] <eternalist> i dont know why, but that always bothered me and i kept turning it on myself lol
[08:41] <owner989> lol
[08:41] <ufk> are there any ubuntu packages for gmplayer?
[08:42] <mwe> penguinitus: no paste at the url suggested by !pastebin
[08:42] <mwe> !pastebin
[08:42] <ubotu> [pastebin]  a site where you can post large texts and screenshots so you don't flood the channel. You can find it at http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl or at http://ubuntu.pastebin.com
[08:42] <djk_> ufk: yes.
[08:42] <penguinitus> ok here it is, it's been so long; forgive me ;) - http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/5307
[08:42] <gnomefreak> eternalist, i set it to come on on boot up because i cant stand having to type a long bunch of numbers and say oh hell that damn cap locks
[08:42] <ufk> djk_: where?
[08:42] <owner989> easy ubuntu installs mplayer as well
[08:42] <owner989> thats a pain to install for many too
[08:42] <eternalist> yea, i got mplayer working fine tho
[08:43] <eternalist> its just some of the new wmv codecs dont play properly
[08:43] <ufk> i still don't understand how to install it
[08:43] <botein> Is somebody here how know how to preseed?
[08:43] <eternalist> Quake 4 torrent almost done :)
[08:43] <eternalist> i wanna see how the demo plays
[08:43] <tyler> im in love with q4
[08:43] <ufk> is there any nice gui for apt-cache search? :)
[08:43] <eternalist> ufk: yes, synaptic package manager
[08:43] <Juhaz> tyler, more or less everything, the buttons, menus and other widgets that make up apps.
[08:43] <Sammi> ok, can anyone point me to a tutorial on adding a dvdrw drive after the initial install (been running for 6mo)?
[08:44] <tyler> Juhaz, ok, thanks
[08:44] <gallonegro_> were do i add new fonts?
[08:44] <djk_> ufk: some repo.. i don't use them anymore so i can't tell you which one i saw it in.
[08:44] <mwe> penguinitus: it seems the two pacages are conflicting, you can only have one, since they both provide fglrx
[08:44] <zcat[1] > Sammi: plug it in. Be amazed. Stuff like that usually just works.
[08:45] <Sammi> zcat[1] , Yeah, that's usually how it works.. but not this time
[08:45] <zcat[1] > bugger :(
[08:45] <owner989> penguinitus you should try easy ubuntu to install the fglrx driver
[08:45] <Sammi> ya :(
[08:45] <PokerFacePenguin> Sammi, it got mount points?
[08:45] <penguinitus> mwe: I kinda thought that, but I have no idea which package is conflicting with it, I had something else installed like flgx-driver or something which I removed with apt get, but still getting the error
[08:45] <ufk> syanptic is nice :) thanks
[08:45] <lsuactiafner> [ 5247.225804]  NTFS-fs error (device sde1): ntfs_end_buffer_async_read(): Buffer I/O error, logical block 0xa46a53.
[08:45] <tyler> Juhaz, whats the difference between v2 and v1?
[08:45] <korhalf> ufk, no problem
[08:45] <lsuactiafner> is it a hardware error or software?
[08:45] <gnomefreak> i really wish they wouldnt put easy infront of linux cause for a newbie nothing about linux is easy at first
[08:45] <Sammi> PokerFacePenguin, i dont know.. you mean fstab? or something else?
[08:45] <mwe> penguinitus: it says which in the error
[08:45] <eternalist> gnomefreak, true, but it SHOULD be
[08:46] <eternalist> gnomefreak, you can't expect people to try something that'll be hard lol
[08:46] <nox-Hand> Oh no.. Firefox shut down, but the sound I was streaming in my 'mplayer mozilla plugin' is still running.. Got any idea how to make it stop?
[08:46] <nox-Hand> Been running for about 5 min..
[08:46] <gnomefreak> eternalist, your right it should be but than it would be called mircocrap :(
[08:46] <eternalist> nox-Hand, kill the mofo
[08:46] <gallonegro_> non one knows how to add new fonts?
[08:46] <[koji] > is it ok to use /home partition of another distro?
[08:46] <nox-Hand> How?
[08:46] <eternalist> gnomefreak, it doesn't need to be difficult to be good.
[08:46] <arnducky> I'm having trouble copying the contents of my /dev/sda (a 1 GB extreme compact flash card) to a hard drive.  Is there a way to force this with dd or something?  Gparted seems to stall at at '0m 1s left', and AFAIK, it uses dd.  I want a bit-for-bit copy of the original.
[08:46] <Sammi> nox-Hand, open the process manager, and kill mplayer
[08:46] <zcat[1] > was quite surprised when I got my mp3 player; plugged it in, got halfway through opening a terminal so I could start digging through dmesg and figuring out what I might need to modprobe.. and hell, it was sitting on the desktop already!
[08:46] <penguinitus> mwe: well, when i try to uninstall it, it says it's not installed
[08:46] <PokerFacePenguin> Sammi, yeah, if it doesnt have a mount point, its not gonna work..../etc/fstab might have to be edited...mountpoints are listed in /media
[08:46] <mwe> penguinitus: you have fglrx-driver and are trying to install xorg-driver-fglrx
[08:47] <gnomefreak> eternalist, no it doesnt i agree and linux isnt really all that hard its just at first glace its like OMG what am i doing :(
[08:47] <nox-Hand> Uhhm, where is the process manager.. ('noob at some of this linux stuff' at work)
[08:47] <zcat[1] > but it doesn't _always_ work like that..
[08:47] <eternalist> penguinitus, i recommend using Easy Ubuntu, i just tried it, and my drivers work fine for my ati card
[08:47] <owner989> linux has improved over the years
[08:47] <penguinitus> mwe: well supposedly, but like I said I removed it via apt-get remove
[08:47] <Juhaz> tyler, gtk 1.x is very old and not used by many apps any more, xmms probably being the most common
[08:47] <owner989> now the network setup is a breeze
[08:47] <tyler> Juhaz, oh ok
[08:47] <eternalist> gnomefreak, yea, and you try to teach people some shell commands, heck, they think DOS is complex, imagine the linux CLI
[08:47] <mwe> penguinitus: but the diversion is still there
[08:47] <Sammi> PokerFacePenguin, I have cdrom (link) and cdrom0, which points to my existing one.. I'm thinking I need to duplicate everything, which is why I was hopeing for a tutorial
[08:47] <gnomefreak> eternalist, lol
[08:47] <penguinitus> mwe: maybe I need to dpkg purge to remove all configuration files (completely remove?)
[08:48] <eternalist> gnomefreak, im serious, at my school, i type netstat in a dos prompt and people think im hacking
[08:48] <tyler> Juhaz, would this be hard to install? The DL button doesn't even work, haha http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=31128
[08:48] <penguinitus> mwe: ? but I can't remember the command (if that indeed is what I need to do)
[08:48] <nox-Hand> Sammi: Uhhm, where is the process manager.. ('noob at some of this linux stuff' at work)
[08:48] <Sammi> eternalist, you are, just not being malicious ;)
[08:48] <zcat[1] > right now I have totally screwed up glx though.. nothing works (glxgears, mplayer, xmms all segfault) bloody annoying
[08:48] <gnomefreak> eternalist,  they dont know any better lol
[08:48] <mwe> penguinitus: try sudo dpkg-divert --rename --remove /usr/share/fglrx/diversions/libGL.so.1.2
[08:48] <eternalist> Sammi, lol :)
[08:48] <penguinitus> mwe: but not to keep going with, I can give easy ubuntu a shot as you suggested
[08:48] <Sammi> nox-Hand, menu > system tools > process manager (I think)
[08:49] <penguinitus> mwe: point me to the link?
[08:49] <gnomefreak> eternalist, it took me 2 years to teach g/f about ipconfig in DOS now im gonna have to teach her ifconfig :(
[08:49] <eternalist> gnomefreak, hahaha
[08:49] <nox-Hand> Sammi: System monitor. Cheers.. Pointed me the right direction. Could not remember where it was..
[08:49] <zcat[1] > ifconfig? what's wrong with dhcp?
[08:49] <necroforest> does Ubuntu have a default root password? I can't get in root, don't remember setting a root password during install, and tryed all of my normal passwords.
[08:49] <mwe> penguinitus: what. you must be confusing me with someone else. I didn't suggest that
[08:49] <eternalist> gnomefreak, i think windows has winipcfg for a graphical version, which is probably easier to teach
[08:49] <caturOK> how to my samba no answer password
[08:49] <Sammi> nox-Hand, yay!
[08:49] <eternalist> caturOK, pardon?
[08:49] <owner989> penguinitus http://placelibre.ath.cx/keyes/index.php/2005/10/27/65-easy-ubuntu-24-beta
[08:50] <gnomefreak> eternalist,  never knew that
[08:50] <penguinitus> mwe: oh, my bad, using another chat client - a little harder to read
[08:50] <PokerFacePenguin> gnomefreak, write a script, stick it on the taskbar/panel and let her click it.. :P
[08:50] <Sammi> eternalist, that's win9x only
[08:50] <caturOK> i want my sharing folder not show a password
[08:50] <eternalist> Sammi, oh i see
[08:50] <zcat[1] > necroforest: use sudo, and it prompts for your user password..
[08:50] <eternalist> gnomefreak, lol nvm, Sammi corrected me
[08:50] <nox-Hand> Sammi: Ahhh. The sweet sound of silence.. ;-) Someone mentioned something called 'Easy Ubuntu' Does that have a site?
[08:50] <owner989> penguinitus it was me that suggested easy ubuntu
[08:50] <arnducky> my calculations show that the file transfer should take only  11m 10s  aprox but it goes on and on and on and on....
[08:50] <Sammi> gnomefreak, XP has a better tool anyways :)
[08:50] <penguinitus> thanks for the help, I have a couple things to try now
[08:50] <Roman27> I have a question about writing a wiki doc and everyone is just idling in #ubuntu-doc.  Can someone help me in here?
[08:50] <gnomefreak> PokerFacePenguin,  i sent her the source code for hello world and she about flipped she couldnt read it in C
[08:50] <eternalist> What the hell? the demo is 339 of 321
[08:50] <eternalist> should i just kill it?
[08:51] <arnducky> Is there a way to force-copy this partition?
[08:51] <gnomefreak> Sammi, ipconfig is same as ifconfig only one for dos other for unix
[08:51] <necroforest> does Ubuntu have a default root password? I can't get in root, don't remember setting a root password during install, and tryed all of my normal passwords.
[08:51] <PokerFacePenguin> gnomefreak, then a bash script that renews her ip or whatever should b no prob
[08:51] <owner989> necroforest, ubuntu only uses sudo
[08:51] <owner989> and the password is your user password
[08:51] <bimberi> !root
[08:51] <ubotu> I heard root is rumour has it, that root is disabled in Ubuntu, actually this means there is no password set for the root account, use sudo when you need admin access, you can read all about it on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo
[08:51] <Sammi> gnomefreak, yeah, that I know, but i mean win9x had winipcfg, which is better than ipconfig, but winxp has the repair button, which is far easier than both (for windows)
[08:52] <gnomefreak> necroforest, your user password is the "root" password and ubuntu doesnt really have a root
[08:52] <mwe> ubotu: tell necroforest about root
[08:52] <arnducky> The cancel button doesn't even stop the transfer -- I think it's a *#%$ing gparted bug and nothing is actually happening
[08:52] <caturOK> hm
[08:52] <caturOK> if i use smb:///
[08:52] <caturOK> the pop up is show it
[08:52] <SteveW> mwe, my hd is raid, do i need to do something special during partitioning?
[08:52] <necroforest> ok thanks
[08:52] <caturOK> authentication required
[08:52] <arnducky> Okay, how about this QUESTION: has anyone else had problems with gparted?
[08:52] <gnomefreak> Sammi,  im glad i havent had to deal with windows xp in about a year thank god
[08:52] <necroforest> i was trying su
[08:52] <dr34mc0d3r> how (command line) do i set the time and date - i didnt set it correctly on install?
[08:53] <mwe> necroforest: if you really want a root prompt you can use sudo -i or set a root password with sudo passwd root
[08:53] <eternalist> anyone else have a problem with the bittorrent download of Q4? it jus tkeeps going, its passed the limit, its at like 110% right now
[08:53] <necroforest> thanks
[08:53] <caturOK> how to disable that
[08:53] <Sammi> gnomefreak, lol, yeah - always a breath of releif when you are done with it
[08:53] <alex1> hello all, question: i wanted to configure and the output was :checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables,
[08:53] <alex1> what should i do?
[08:53] <Juhaz> tyler, I don't think that one is even real, just concept art
[08:53] <arnducky> Could it be because I am trying to copy the flash card onto the same drive / is mounted on?
[08:53] <eternalist> Sammi, gnomefreak, What's wrong with Windows XP ? :)
[08:53] <gnomefreak> Sammi, it is but i might have to install windows over libranet for the java classes :(
[08:53] <Sammi> eternalist, kill the client, and reload the torrent, pointing it at the data you already have; it'll repair and continue
[08:53] <Obi-1> ubotu : not true.. i got to enable the root graphical loggin
[08:53] <ubotu> No idea, Obi-1
[08:54] <tyler> Juhaz, yeah, me too
[08:54] <eternalist> Sammi, i did that already, i think its corrupt.
[08:54] <tyler> Juhaz, whats metacity?
[08:54] <Sammi> eternalist, hrm.. that shouldn't matter...
[08:54] <caturOK> any idea
[08:54] <mwe> SteveW: the array has a seperate device file, doesn't it. I don't use raid, but I don't think you have to do anything special, but you should ask someone else to be sure
[08:54] <caturOK> hello
[08:54] <gnomefreak> eternalist, its slow its full of securtiy flaws the whole system is read by M$ for the most part whenever they decide to look
[08:55] <gnomefreak> everything you do on windows is sent to m$ office :(
[08:55] <eternalist> gnomefreak, i didnt know about the latter part.
[08:55] <alex1> hello all, question: i wanted to configure and the output was :checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables,
[08:55] <alex1> what should i do?
[08:55] <SteveW> noob! my hd is raid, do I need to do something special during setup?
[08:55] <eternalist> Sammi, well it wont continue with the installation, it verifies integrity and tells me the sums are diff
[08:55] <Obi-1> ubotu first: sudo passwd root .. change password for root
[08:55] <ubotu> Obi-1: I give up, what is it?
[08:55] <owner989> whats better openoffice or koffice
[08:55] <eternalist> owner989, whichever one allows you to do your work faster.
[08:55] <caturOK> i run this at nautilus ---> smb:///
[08:55] <mwe> owner989: oo has more features
[08:55] <Obi-1> ubotu second: change the gdm.conf file
[08:55] <ubotu> Obi-1: Do they come in packets of five?
[08:55] <caturOK> and why samba always ask password
[08:56] <owner989> we cant use koffice in gnome anyway
[08:56] <Sammi> eternalist, but, I mean: toss the torrent client at it again, it should repair anything, unless the origional is corrupt
[08:56] <gnomefreak> owner i perfer openoffice but i think ive only used koffice 1 time and didnt see much difference
[08:56] <Obi-1> ubotu
[08:56] <caturOK> and i give my correct password
[08:56] <Juhaz> tyler, the gnome window manager, in theme sense, metacity theme affects the title bar and window borders
[08:56] <mwe> owner989: of course you can use koffice in gnome
[08:56] <caturOK> but always fail
[08:56] <eternalist> Sammi, yeah, im telling you, i kill it, let it review the file and go back to its place, then it starts downloading more than what it is lol
[08:56] <necroforest> openoffice is nice
[08:56] <caturOK> why that is happen
[08:56] <owner989> we can but its a kde app
[08:56] <necroforest> much better than its predessecor, staroffice
[08:56] <Obi-1> ubotu enable root login
[08:56] <ubotu> I haven't a clue, Obi-1
[08:56] <gnomefreak> k-office in gnome you still have to install kdebase
[08:56] <tyler> Juhaz, okay cool.  Which would I get that can change the top and bottom bars? (Apps/places/system etc)
[08:56] <eternalist> Sammi, it says time remaining 3 seconds, then it gets to 0, then goes back to 3 seconds
[08:56] <SteveW> mwe, do you know anyone i can awk?
[08:56] <mwe> so what if you have the ram to load the kdelibs as well it will work
[08:56] <MFen> exit
[08:57] <Obi-1> ubotu i love this cra[p
[08:57] <ubotu> I don't know, Obi-1
[08:57] <mwe> SteveW: not really, sorry
[08:57] <alex1> hello all, question: i wanted to configure and the output was :checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables,
[08:57] <alex1> what should i do? help me plz
[08:57] <caturOK> samba say username , domain, password
[08:57] <trappist> Obi-1: use /msg to talk to ubotu
[08:57] <gnomefreak> lol @ talk to
[08:57] <Juhaz> tyler, panel appearance is mostly from gtk theme
[08:57] <trappist> alex1: echo $CFLAGS $CC
[08:57] <Sammi> eternalist, hrm.. at that point, I would either go to a different client, or redo the whole thing :(
[08:57] <Obi-1> why is that?
[08:57] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell Obi-1  about you
[08:58] <dr34mc0d3r> how can i set the time from the command line ??
[08:58] <Polibio> Hello
[08:58] <mwe> dr34mc0d3r: date
[08:58] <dr34mc0d3r> hello Polibio
[08:58] <Juhaz> tyler, and the main menu icons from icon theme
[08:58] <gnomefreak> Obi-1,  /msg the bot doesnt affect the whole room
[08:58] <alex1> trappist: didnt solve
[08:58] <dr34mc0d3r> mwe - i tried date - i just dont know the format its wanting - can you give me an example ?
[08:58] <trappist> alex1: it wasn't supposed to.  I wanted the output.
[08:59] <Obi-1> hahahaha.. gnomefreak.. i didn't know
[08:59] <SteveW> ANYONE - know how to install RAID?
[08:59] <Obi-1> sorry
[08:59] <Mangoon> hi guys need help
[08:59] <alex1> trappist: there is no output
[08:59] <gnomefreak> formatting time would be 10:30 or 22:30
[08:59] <trappist> alex1: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[08:59] <dr34mc0d3r> humm - could it be that simple - ill try...
[08:59] <bur[n] er> can anyone help me out... Samba got all messed up and only shares my home directory for some reason... have any recent updates broken this?  I swear I haven't edited smb.conf by hand
[08:59] <gnomefreak> Obi-1,  its all goo i had bot send you a pm should give you anything you need for him
[08:59] <Mangoon> i have just installed Ubuntu but when i startup everything works fine accept at starting hotplugsubsystem it stops loading
[09:00] <mwe> dr34mc0d3r: I always forget it. it sucks. google is my best advice unless you want to try your luck with the crappy man page
[09:00] <gimmulf> Hi, i get this error when starting Synaptic: cdrom:[Ubuntu 5.10 _Breezy Badger_ - Release i386 (20051012)] /dists/breezy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz: Please use apt-cdrom to make this CD-ROM recognized by APT. apt-get update cannot be used to add new CD-ROMs   Please help
[09:00] <tyler> question: Is there any way to make icons smaller without changing my res?
[09:00] <gnomefreak> gimmulf, take the cdrom repo out of your sources list
[09:00] <Polibio> I have mounted an NTFS partition so I can read it with root privileges.  I can read a "readme.txt" file from the partition but I can not copy it in the Ubuntu partition, why? can I copy it in some way?
[09:01] <gimmulf> gnomefreak:  ok
[09:01] <mcphail> If anyone else has been having /dev/dsp issues with skype, I've found a workaround...
[09:01] <dr34mc0d3r> thanks mwe
[09:01] <dr34mc0d3r> ill google
[09:01] <soundray> Mangoon, could be a rogue USB device. Disconnect everything that non-essential, then try again.
[09:01] <alex1> trappist: i wrote /.configure and it gave me a huge output/
[09:01] <trappist> alex1: good
[09:01] <soundray> *that is non-essential
[09:01] <alex1> *long

[09:03] <eternalist> jack-, i'm using the greek letter M
[09:04] <Mangoon> i'll C
[09:04] <eternalist> which looks similar to the english one
[09:04] <Sammi> gnomefreak, I have sound, but 96MB total ram :)
[09:04] <Mangoon> its the first time startup
[09:04] <SteveW> ubotu tell SteveW about raid
[09:04] <eternalist> itll be named after me, just like Watts and Ohms
[09:04] <recon0> does ubuntu use debian 2.1, or 3+?
[09:04] <jack-> lol :)
[09:04] <Sammi> gnomefreak, "use" linux is a realative term ;)
[09:04] <alex1> ubotu tell alex1 about raid
[09:04] <bur[n] er> recon0: sid
[09:04] <caturOK> help me plzzzzz
[09:04] <eternalist> caturOK, what's your native language
[09:04] <mwe> recon0: it doesn't use debian, but is based on sid
[09:04] <eternalist> caturOK, I don't understand half of what you're saying.
[09:05] <gnomefreak> Sammi,  i have only 512mb of ram :(
[09:05] <recon0> o
[09:05] <eternalist> gnomefreak, i only have 1024 mb of ram :(
[09:05] <eternalist> gnomefreak, i can only run cs source at 120 FPS
[09:05] <soundray> SteveW, are you after introductory information? There are excellent howtos.
[09:05] <jack-> eternalist: he's australian
[09:05] <NetGrunt> Hi ubuntuers!
[09:05] <eternalist> ahah
[09:05] <jack-> just my 2 cents
[09:05] <eternalist> jack-, is he really?
[09:06] <SteveW> soundray yes pls!
[09:06] <jack-> according to his ip at least
[09:06] <Mangoon> hw_random can't be loaded is the error
[09:06] <eternalist> jack-,
[09:06] <eternalist> caturOK i want my sharing folder not show a password
[09:06] <caturOK> how to disable samba password
[09:06] <soundray> SteveW, sorry, I won't search the web for you :)
[09:06] <bur[n] er> caturOK: security = share
[09:06] <eternalist> jack-, i just figured that they spoke english in australian, and that doesnt make it look like its his native language
[09:06] <Sammi> gnomefreak, eternalist Awww.. I will share my 96 with you
[09:06] <SteveW> soundray, ok, well i'm looking but not finding!
[09:06] <jack-> might well be an adopted aborigine kid, who knows ;)
[09:07] <eternalist> Sammi, ahha
[09:07] <alex1> trappist:  it wants me to install g77 but strangely i cant :-|
[09:07] <jack-> australia is big, civilization isnt that big there yet
[09:07] <SteveW> soundray, just checking out what the bot has to say
[09:07] <trappist> alex1: sudo apt-get update and try again
[09:07] <eternalist> jack-, i think 90 percent of the population lives on the coast
[09:07] <Polibio> I have mounted an NTFS partition so I can read it with root privileges.  I can read, for example, a "readme.txt" file from the partition but I can not copy it into the Ubuntu partition, why? can I copy it in some way?
[09:07] <jack-> true
[09:07] <trappist> eternalist: that's true almost everywhere
[09:07] <jack-> and the rest cant read or write
[09:07] <eternalist> Polibio, what do you mean?
[09:07] <Hoxzer_> Is it normal if "TVoutformat" option in xorg.conf doesn't "effect" no matter what I write into it?
[09:07] <eternalist> trappist, how? in the states, people live in the mainland too
[09:08] <trappist> eternalist: even in the states a huge percentage of the population lives within 50 miles of the coast
[09:08] <eternalist> i didnt know that :P, im canadian anyway lol
[09:08] <Dreamer3> does Ubuntu run on a Mac Mini?
[09:08] <Polibio> eternalist, if I can copy files from the NTFS partition into the Ubuntu Linux partition. How can I do that?
[09:08] <soundray> SteveW, I read the Software-RAID HOWTO ages ago, and decided against RAID for me. URL is http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-RAID-HOWTO.html
[09:08] <eternalist> everyone in canada lives in the southern part of the country
[09:08] <soundray> Dreamer3, yes.
[09:09] <eternalist> Polibio, just use the cp command, however remember that an NTFS file system to linux is a read only system
[09:09] <eternalist> Polibio, cp file ~
[09:09] <Dreamer3> soundray: can i install and boot it from my external firewire drive?
[09:09] <SteveW> soundray, thanks
[09:09] <alex1> trappist:  i looked at the Synaptic, and i saw threr the g77 but it shows me  "Depends: gcc-3.3 but it is not going to be installe" what now ? :(
[09:09] <eternalist> that would copy the file to your home directory.
[09:09] <caturOK> still showing "authentication required"
[09:09] <Dreamer3> soundray: without touching my OSX system drive?
[09:09] <Sammi> eternalist, I disagree about canadians
[09:09] <eternalist> Sammi, what ?
[09:09] <gnomefreak> Alex, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[09:09] <caturOK> how to disable that
[09:09] <eternalist> Sammi, if you look at those maps with a dot for every 1000 people or something, it shows the majority of dots in the southern part of the country
[09:09] <soundray> Dreamer3, I've tried that. It's supposed to be possible, but I haven't succeeded.
[09:09] <alex1> i did it already
[09:10] <Polibio> eternalist, I was trying to copy from a "sudo nautilus" window, is that wrong?
[09:10] <gnomefreak> should have everything you need including g77
[09:10] <caturOK> ubuntu 5.04 not show that pop up
[09:10] <Dreamer3> soundray: how far did you get?
[09:10] <soundray> Dreamer3, I blamed it on my flaky Firewire drive.
[09:10] <caturOK> but 5.10 show up
[09:10] <soundray> Dreamer3, I got it installed, but couldn't boot.
[09:10] <Dreamer3> soundray: how is it supposed to wokr? i dont want my OSX drive to be touched
[09:10] <trappist> alex1: sudo apt-get install build-essential gcc-3.3
[09:10] <Sammi> eternalist, well, the southern half is denser, but if you add the rest together, it's about even
[09:10] <eternalist> Polibio, you should just use the commandline
[09:10] <soundray> Dreamer3, have you tried the live CD?
[09:10] <Polibio> ok
[09:10] <calamari> hi
[09:10] <rj120917> hello.  I am trying to boot the ubuntu live cd for the first time and boot hangs.  can anyone help me?
[09:11] <gnomefreak> trappist,  it comes with 3.4 doesnt it :(
[09:11] <Dreamer3> soundray: no, i don't have any CDs yet but the PC onces, and they won't work here of course
[09:11] <eternalist> Sammi, i dont think so
[09:11] <gnomefreak> damn
[09:11] <SteveW> soundray, confusion!! i'm doing a frest install. i have a raid card. do i want software or hardware raid?
[09:11] <KBlacKBoX> hi all*
[09:11] <soundray> Dreamer3, you'll have to live with some limitations. Airport Extreme: unsupported.
[09:11] <eternalist> Sammi, the most populated cities are in the southern part of canada
[09:11] <Dreamer3> soundray: just finding out before i go to the trouble of actquiring a Mac CD
[09:11] <trappist> gnomefreak: depends on what you mean by 'comes with'
[09:11] <caturOK> hm
[09:11] <Sammi> eternalist, I dont live in the southern half, and I my city is large
[09:11] <Dreamer3> soundray: i would not run it as the primary os, i'm just curious how well it works
[09:11] <caturOK> confused
[09:11] <eternalist> Sammi, where you from?
[09:11] <mwe> build-essential installs gcc-4
[09:11] <soundray> Dreamer3, sleep: doesn't work.
[09:11] <Sammi> eternalist, edmonton
[09:12] <Dreamer3> soundray: i mean how far it works
[09:12] <gnomefreak> trappist,  i mean the build-essential package comes with 3.4 and 4.0 i thinkand i forgot to add 3.3 to it :(
[09:12] <soundray> Dreamer3, there's a web page by a guy who put Debian on his. Easy to find in Google.
[09:12] <Dreamer3> soundray: all i have on this mac is OSX, hard to compare it to anything :-)
[09:12] <trappist> gnomefreak: you maintain build-essential?
[09:12] <caturOK> gtg
[09:12] <caturOK> slepp
[09:12] <gnomefreak> trappist,  no but ive installed it enough
[09:12] <Dreamer3> soundray: curious how fast gnome would run, etc
[09:12] <caturOK> zzzzz
[09:12] <alex1> baa... it says that i have it already
[09:12] <eternalist> Sammi, you know thats the southern part of the country.
[09:12] <soundray> Dreamer3, reasonably, judging by the live CD.
[09:12] <owner989> gnome runs fast dreamer
[09:13] <KBlacKBoX> gnomefreak, I have some pblms too with the gcc4*
[09:13] <gnomefreak> Alex,  sudo apt-get install gcc3.3
[09:13] <eternalist> Sammi, http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/travel/dg/maps/b7/750x750_alberta2_m.gif
[09:13] <Dreamer3> so perhaps i should get a live cd?
[09:13] <mwe> gnomefreak: are you sure build-essential installs any other version of gcc than gcc-4.0 ?
[09:13] <Mangoon> if i do the safe startup of ubuntu then it gives the errror; missing kernel or users mode driver hw_random
[09:13] <eternalist> Sammi, according to this map, it appears that Edmonton is located in the southern half of the country :)
[09:13] <alex1> E: Couldn't find package gcc3.3
[09:13] <cion> ehm in need help SOS here
[09:13] <soundray> SteveW, you can do either, if your RAID chipset is supported.
[09:13] <cion> i think i messed up w my kernel
[09:13] <Sammi> eternalist, if you want to take the entire country from the border to the tip of the nwt, and cut it in half vertically, yes, but that's not a fair assesment
[09:13] <soundray> SteveW, I would recommend software RAID, though,
[09:13] <rj120917> can someone help me get the live cd to boot?
[09:13] <gnomefreak> KBlacKBoX, dont we all ;( but some things are compiled with gcc 4.0 and other compilesd with 3.4
[09:13] <SteveW> soundray, mine is called fastrak, i think its supported
[09:13] <rj120917> or point me at resources?
[09:14] <eternalist> Sammi, fine lets say all the provinces
[09:14] <gnomefreak> im pretty sure mwe that it comes with 3.4 and or 4.0
[09:14] <eternalist> Sammi, even still, edmonton is below half way
[09:14] <tyler> Are the nVidia graphic drivers from the Software Manager the same or as good as the drivers on nvidias website?
[09:14] <soundray> SteveW, mainly because it'll still be bootable if your raid controller fails.
[09:14] <alex1> so, can you help me plz ? :)
[09:14] <eternalist> Sammi, of the province alone, we can safely say for a FEW exceptions, the majority of people are still in the southern parts of most provinces
[09:14] <cion> in "cd /usr/src" i ran  sudo tar --bzip2 -xvf linuxsources-2.6.12.tar.bz2 and it wont stop unpacking stuff
[09:14] <KBlacKBoX> bezzy bzzzz
[09:14] <KBlacKBoX> busy
[09:14] <Mangoon> if i do the safe startup of ubuntu then it gives the errror; missing kernel or users mode driver hw_random
[09:14] <SteveW> soundray, well i'm sharing with xp, and want to access that part so i think i will need hardware?
[09:14] <soundray> SteveW, if your data is at all valuable, do have a separate non-RAID backup facility.
[09:14] <cion> i wanted to patch kernel
[09:14] <eternalist> Sammi, this is wayyyy off topic anyway lol
[09:14] <cion> help
[09:14] <mwe> gnomefreak: ok. I thougt it installed gcc-4 only
[09:14] <Maniqui> hi again. When trying to mount, I get this: http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/5308
[09:14] <SteveW> soundray, its not that valuable
[09:15] <gnomefreak> im looking for it now
[09:15] <soundray> SteveW, I can't help with RAID and dual-boot. Never heard of anyone who has tried.
[09:15] <Sammi> eternalist, lol, I know what you are saying and I'll give you that point, and we'll leave it at that
[09:15] <Maniqui> And when trying to access by double-clicking the partition, I get a message that I dont have permissiont
[09:15] <Sammi> gtg
[09:15] <cion> help guys: how do i patch the kernel?
[09:15] <eternalist> Sammi, peace
[09:15] <SteveW> soundray, the bot has good information on my situation, but i don't understand it
[09:15] <Sammi> eternalist, peas
[09:16] <trappist> cion: install source.  apply patch.  rebuild.  install.  reboot.
[09:16] <SteveW> ubotu tell soundray about raid
[09:16] <Mangoon> if i do the safe startup of ubuntu then it gives the errror; missing kernel or users mode driver hw_random
[09:16] <owner989> maniqui you should unmount it and mount it like here http://www.ubuntuguide.org/#mountunmountntfs
[09:16] <sigi> aha
[09:16] <cion> trappist: im new is there some docs to do that ?
[09:16] <mwe> cion: what exactly are you trying to do?
[09:16] <cion> patch kernel
[09:16] <Millenniumgroup> anyone installed flightgear from synaptic?
[09:16] <gaandalein> hi! anyone got an idea how to install a canon lide 50 scanner?
[09:17] <Millenniumgroup> I try to run flightgear but it tells me "no such command"
[09:17] <mwe> cion: and you have the kernel source and the patch?
[09:17] <owner989> canon has poor linux driver support gaandalein
[09:17] <cro-smiley> how to disable automatic updates?
[09:17] <Mangoon> if i do the safe startup of ubuntu then it gives the errror; missing kernel or users mode driver hw_random
[09:17] <alex1> 10x for all your help, :-\ i g2g, i will try tomorrow :)
[09:17] <dark_angel> hallo
[09:17] <tyler__> Question: Where is the .themes directory?
[09:17] <dark_angel> i
[09:18] <Mabus06> how do you chown a file?
[09:18] <Millenniumgroup> cro-smiley synaptic - settings
[09:18] <cion> in usr/src i have  linux-patches  linux-source-2.6.12  linux-source-2.6.12.tar.bz2
[09:18] <eternalist> tyler__, in your home directory..
[09:18] <Mabus06> I tried sudo chown nick ./foldername
[09:18] <cion> is this right?
[09:18] <mwe> Mabus06: type chown
[09:18] <dark_angel> what
[09:18] <cro-smiley> Millenniumgroup thank you:)
[09:18] <tyler__> eternalist, k thanks
[09:18] <eternalist> Mabus06, better yet, type man chown and learn lol
[09:18] <eternalist> tyler__, np
[09:18] <Maniqui> it seems that all my partitions are mounted in /media/ by default (I cant mount them in /media/windows/ because it says tis "busy").
[09:18] <rj120917> the live cd hangs after the message: ACPI: setting ELCR to 0e20 from 0c20.  I've tried booting with pci=noacpi and that doesn't help.  any ideas?
[09:18] <mwe> Mabus06: that looks right provided the user exists
[09:18] <owner989> maniqui did you even read this
[09:18] <owner989> http://www.ubuntuguide.org/#mountunmountntfs
[09:18] <gaandalein> mhh... where do i configure the scanner, in general? i cant find a tool to do this. im not really used to gnome
[09:18] <Mabus06> eternalist, don't tell people to read mans... that's not helpful whatsoever
[09:18] <Mabus06> mwe it does
[09:18] <eternalist> Mabus06, what?
[09:19] <soundray> SteveW, where do you get stuck?
[09:19] <eternalist> Mabus06, they're there for a reason, so people can read the documentation and learn.
[09:19] <trappist> Mabus06: don't tell people not to tell people to rtfm.  often it's exactly what they need.
[09:19] <Millenniumgroup> cro-smiley sorry it's in synaptic - repositories
[09:19] <selutha> I am about to install ubuntu and i remeber reading somewhere that there is a popular install script that people use once they get ubuntu intalled to add a bunch of apps like mplay and such can any one help me with the name of it or where it is located
[09:19] <SteveW> soundray, do i have to compile a new kernal?
[09:19] <cion> nwe: in usr/src i have  linux-patches  linux-source-2.6.12  linux-source-2.6.12.tar.bz2
[09:19] <mwe> Mabus06: and after the command, nick is not owning the dir?
[09:19] <Millenniumgroup> and then settings
[09:19] <eternalist> Mabus06, are you gonna make us spoon feed every single command to you and what options you should use? why not just learn it once and forget it
[09:19] <cion> nwe:is this correct?
[09:19] <Maniqui> owener989, yes, I'm reading. I have done: sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/windows/ -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222
[09:19] <Mabus06> eternalist, please read coc
[09:19] <dark_angel> hello who speaks germany
[09:20] <Maniqui> with one difference: my partionis are named like /sda11/
[09:20] <komplett_verruck> I do so!
[09:20] <Millenniumgroup> cro-smiley sorry it's in synaptic - repositories,and  then settings
[09:20] <owner989> maniqui make sure you substitute hda1 for your partition name
[09:20] <eternalist> Mabus06, don't tell people to just read things, it doesnt help :)
[09:20] <owner989> for me it is sda1
[09:20] <soundray> SteveW, do you know what type of RAID you want?
[09:20] <Mabus06> eternalist, the coc would help you out. Trust me. Try not to be so rude.
[09:20] <SteveW> sound ray ya, mirror
[09:20] <dark_angel> hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
[09:20] <eternalist> Mabus06, I told you to read man chown, how is that being rude? I'm helping you.
[09:20] <cion> can some1 help me with kernel patch?
[09:20] <Maniqui> of course, I have substituted it.
[09:20] <Maniqui> mount: /dev/sda11 already mounted or /media/windows/ busy
[09:20] <Maniqui> mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda11 is mounted on /media/sda11
[09:20] <tyler__> For some reason when i try to copy a folder to themes I get this: cp: omitting directory `./Desktop/Edge'
[09:21] <trappist> Mabus06: the code of conduct instructs you not to point people toward documentation?
[09:21] <Mabus06> eternalist, no, I told you that wasn't helpful. It was then you proceeded to be rude.
[09:21] <eternalist> tyler__, use the -R option, meanin grecursive
[09:21] <mwe> cion: have you got the kernel source and the patch or what?
[09:21] <owner989> did you unmount it before trying to mount it maniqui
[09:21] <tyler__> eternalist, ok
[09:21] <eternalist> tyler__, so in use, cp -R ./Desktop/Edge .
[09:21] <Mabus06> trappist, code of conduct tells people to be friendly, not insult people and be disrespectful
[09:21] <eternalist> or whatever
[09:21] <tyler__> eternalist, thanks
[09:21] <SteveW> soundray, i want to create my / ext drive on hardware mirror
[09:21] <Mabus06> trappist, have you read it?
[09:21] <cion> nwe: in usr/src i have  linux-patches  linux-source-2.6.12  linux-source-2.6.12.tar.bz2
[09:21] <eternalist> tyler__, make sure you read man cp to see other helpful commands, it'll HELP you.
[09:21] <Maniqui> aaaaaaah! let me try that, owner989! :D
[09:21] <cion> nwe: are these files correct?
[09:21] <soundray> SteveW, really? I thought your data weren't valuable. Is it for high availability?
[09:21] <tyler__> eternalist, hehe ok
[09:22] <trappist> Mabus06: read and signed.  I would submit that telling people it's unhelpful to point other people to documentation is disrespectful.
[09:22] <owner989> sudo umount /dev/hda1
[09:22] <SteveW> well its valuable enough for raid but only the most basic kind
[09:22] <owner989> then #
[09:22] <owner989> sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/windows/ -t vfat -o iocharset=utf8,umask=000
[09:22] <eternalist> tyler__, are you trying to install a GNOME theme?
[09:22] <cro-smiley> Millenniumgroup I unchecked "Automaticly check for software updates" I think this should work, thanks again :)
[09:22] <mwe> cion: I have no idea what patch you're trying to apply, so I don't know
[09:22] <SteveW> soundray, well its valuable enough for raid but only the most basic kind
[09:22] <owner989> but for me i had to use sda1 not hda1
[09:22] <Mabus06> trappist, okay well you're submitting nonsense
[09:22] <Millenniumgroup> np cro-smiley
[09:22] <tyler__> eternalist, yeah, i am: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=18631
[09:22] <eternalist> tyler__, if so itd be easier to just go to System > Prefernces > Theme, then drag in the .tar.gz theme
[09:22] <tyler__> eternalist, ohh ok
[09:22] <Mabus06> eternalist, if people don't know how to COPY AND PASTE, they're obviously going to be confused by mans, which are complex for newbies to understand.
[09:23] <trappist> Mabus06: 'rtfm n00b' would have been unhelpful.  what he said wasn't.
[09:23] <mwe> cion: do you even know how to configure and install the new kernel image once the patch is applied?
[09:23] <tyler__> eternalist, do you have any idea how he got his bottom bar like that? on the link i pasted
[09:23] <gnomefreak> i cant use grep :(
[09:23] <cion> nwe: nope
[09:23] <eternalist> tyler__, one sec let me see
[09:23] <trappist> gnomefreak: ?
[09:23] <cion> nwe: can i just leave things like this until i get mre knowledge?
[09:23] <Maniqui> thanks owner989!!! I have done: sudo umount /media/sda11/
[09:23] <gnomefreak> mwe, im sorry looks like it was g++ i was thinking of
[09:23] <owner989> np
[09:23] <gnomefreak> grep doesnt work
[09:23] <komplett_verruck> Hi folks. I'm looking for detailed help with wlan and ipw2100. Can someone help?
[09:23] <eternalist> tyler__, he just increased the size of the bar i think.
[09:23] <owner989> does it work now
[09:23] <Maniqui> and then: sudo mount /dev/sda11 /media/windows/ -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222
[09:23] <Maniqui> and it works!!!
[09:24] <owner989> cool
[09:24] <Mabus06> trappist, it wasn't helpful. I'm the judge. If you ask a question, you're the judge of what's helpful. If you signed the CoC please adhere to it and stop harassing me.
[09:24] <gnomefreak> grep-status -FEssential -sPackage -ni yes    trying to run that command and i cant
[09:24] <owner989> you have to sudo gedit /etc/fstab
[09:24] <trappist> komplett_verruck: ask a detailed question, get a detailed answer.
[09:24] <eternalist> tyler__, i use this one : http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=18194
[09:24] <owner989> to make it mount on startup
[09:24] <eternalist> tyler__, its kinda the same idea as yours which is quite a coincidence
[09:24] <tyler__> eternalist, haha
[09:24] <mwe> cion: then you need to read a howto about that. google for it. learning you how to compile and configure the kernel and then install it is too much for someone in irc
[09:24] <rj120917> join
[09:24] <soundray> SteveW, sorry to be drilling, what exactly do you expect from RAID in the way of advantages over plain old backing up?
[09:25] <tyler__> eternalist, ok, so how do i increase the size of mine to look like the one you just showed me?
[09:25] <eternalist> tyler__, if you right click on the bottom panel
[09:25] <SteveW> soundray, the hd is 160 gb which is a lot to backup!
[09:25] <cion> nwe:ok and is there a way to use a fake terminal before doing the real work?
[09:25] <eternalist> tyler__, then go to properties, you can increase the pixel size
[09:25] <mwe> cion: fake terminal? what's that?
[09:25] <cion> nwe: this way i wouldn't risk to mess with my system
[09:25] <eternalist> tyler__, try something like 40, you'll have to customize to your liking
[09:25] <soundray> SteveW, how many disks in total?
[09:25] <SteveW> soundray, two, mirrored
[09:25] <cion> nwe: i can't mess up this computer so i need somewhere to train with all this stuff
[09:26] <mcphail> SteveW: setting a cron job to run rsync backups overnight is easy
[09:26] <cion> nwe: like a terminal emulator or something
[09:26] <komplett_verruck> ipw2100: all modules loaded, iwconfig says the adapter has tx-power, ifconfig says, the wlan0 is up, but no ping! Any idea?
[09:26] <mcphail> SteveW: and is only a large job the first time it runs
[09:26] <AssTrafic> i'm trying to install ndisrwapper with the command : make install, but it gives me 2 erros... : ... gcc 3.4: command not found
[09:27] <soundray> SteveW, if you mount the second disk on /var/backup, and install sbackup with default settings, you get more security, more flexibility, and less hassle.
[09:27] <AssTrafic> does that mean gcc isn't installed!!? and if so, how do i install it?
[09:27] <mwe> cion: I would just configure the kernel and compile it. that wont hurt your running kernel. then cp the image to /boot and add a new entry in menu.lst. that way you can still boot your current kernel
[09:27] <eternalist> tyler__, any luck?
[09:27] <SteveW> mcphail, i have xp set up on raid and would like to read data from that drive
[09:27] <Maniqui> thanks owner989, I would do the changes. BTW, everytime I start up, I have to run "/sbin/iwconfig ra0 enc restricted" to change my wireless configuration. I didnt find how to do it permanently from the GUI
[09:27] <gnomefreak> i have the list and seeing as i have build-essential it comes with grep why doesnt my grep command work :(
[09:27] <tyler__> eternalist, yeah hehe
[09:27] <eternalist> tyler__, yeah, thats what i like about gnome, you can customize the heck out of the panels
[09:27] <tyler__> eternalist, yeah no shit huh
[09:27] <eternalist> tyler__, i have a little plugin that tells the weather in my area too lol
[09:28] <mcphail> SteveW: ok, sorry - late arrival to the conversation ;)
[09:28] <SteveW> soundray, i'm confused. if i've set the raid controller as mirror, how can ubuntu setup see it as separate disks?
[09:28] <tyler__> eternalist, what icon set do you use?
[09:28] <dodgyville> Hello
[09:28] <cion> ok thx
[09:28] <tyler__> eternalist, hehe ive seen those on windows, but they're full of spyware
[09:28] <cion> nwe:thx cya
[09:28] <gnomefreak> tyler__,  no spyware here in this realm
[09:28] <dodgyville> What's the easiest way to set up a gcc arm toolchain on my AMD box?
[09:28] <tyler__> gnomefreak, hehe
[09:28] <SteveW> mphail, any idea how to setup raid? the bot has decent info
[09:28] <eternalist> tyler__, if you wanna try, just right click on a panel, then add to panel, and add what you want
[09:29] <SteveW> ubotu tell mcphail about raid
[09:29] <soundray> SteveW, okay, I didn't get that you set it up already with MS Win.

[09:29] <chris_18888> Hi, I have just installed 5.10 and am curious as to how to make the volume adjuster in the top right to work.  It works when I open the control panel for it.  But if I simply click the speaker icon and adjust it that way it doesn't work.  Can you help me out with that?
[09:29] <eternalist> Natdigga_, just /msg ubotu emulation
[09:30] <soundray> SteveW, back to your original question: this howto says you need to compile a few things, but not the whole kernel.
[09:30] <derek> How do you save in VIM?
[09:30] <eternalist> Natdigga_, what ar eyou trying to emulate?
[09:30] <tyler__> eternalist, so cool!
[09:30] <komplett_verruck> quit
[09:30] <mwe> derek: :w
[09:30] <Natdigga_> windows
[09:30] <Maniqui> ups! this Totem player doesnt seems to like my mp3s nor my videos, etc
[09:30] <eternalist> derek, if you're in insert mode, press ctrl+c then : and w
[09:30] <rj120323> ?
[09:30] <SteveW> soundray,i haven't compiled a kernel since 1995. i'm not looking forward to it!
[09:30] <Natdigga_> eternalist, trying to find a windows emulator
[09:30] <derek> eternalist, mwe : Thanks!
[09:30] <mwe> derek: or ZZ to save and quit
[09:30] <mcphail> SteveW: RAID is something i've been meaning to look at, but have never had the time. I think I'd chicken out and use RAID1 instead of RAID0 anyway.
[09:30] <eternalist> Natdigga_, use wine, but that isnt an emulator
[09:31] <Veinos> do i need a 64bits version of ndiswrapper ? or it's all the same??
[09:31] <eternalist> Natdigga_, in fact, wine stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator
[09:31] <Natdigga_> eternalist, that doesn't come preinstalled does it?
[09:31] <Natdigga_> eternalist, and is it free?
[09:31] <eternalist> um, if it doesnt, just type sudo apt-get install wine
[09:31] <eternalist> of course.
[09:31] <soundray> SteveW, as I say, it doesn't seem necessary.
[09:31] <eternalist> All software in the ubuntu repository is free :)
[09:31] <luisito> Maniqui, use the amarok instead totem
[09:32] <luisito> Maniqui, and for videos gxine
[09:32] <SteveW> soundray, ok, still weary!
[09:32] <soundray> SteveW, can you apt-get install dmraid ?
[09:32] <derek> Can I re-run the /etc/fstab without restarting?
[09:32] <derek> rebooting*
[09:32] <mettallicat> hi pll ... i've an SIS onboard audio card ... bmp plays but speekers don't give a sound ... can u help me
[09:32] <Natdigga_> eternalist, Thanks!
[09:32] <Maniqui> amarok! thanks, luisito... I have a new challenge... try to get amarok from the CLI
[09:32] <soundray> SteveW, it seems to support your controller.
[09:32] <SteveW> soundray, i don't have ubuntu installed yet, i'm trying to install it to the mirrored raid
[09:33] <Natdigga_> eternalist, but it will run some windoze apps?
[09:33] <SteveW> soundray, is this chicken and egg?
[09:33] <derek> (make the changes in it take effect without rebooting)
[09:33] <Maniqui> ops: Package amarok has no installation candidate
[09:33] <soundray> SteveW, err, yes, I think it is...
[09:33] <mwe> derek: mount -a should mount evrything in fstab
[09:33] <Maniqui> let see if I can get it with Synaptic
[09:34] <SteveW> soundray, if i compile on someone else's machine, then make it available during ubuntu installation?
[09:34] <derek> mwe, ok
[09:34] <mettallicat> someone can help me with sis onboard sound card
[09:34] <eternalist> Natdigga_, what do you want to run?
[09:34] <eternalist> Natdigga_, therse a compatibility list

[09:35] <rubem> hi there all
[09:35] <Mabus06> what's the easiest way to play a sound backwards
[09:35] <rubem> how do I access the console in ubuntu 5.10?
[09:35] <luisito> rubem, in the accesories>terminal
[09:36] <Red-Sox> snorks: hey!
[09:36] <crimsun> rubem: in what sense? You can always use a virtual console on ctrl+alt+F{1-6}
[09:36] <soundray> SteveW, I don't think it'll work.
[09:36] <Red-Sox> snorks: whats up?
[09:36] <rubem> luisito: thanks...
[09:36] <crimsun> F[1-6] , rather
[09:36] <rubem> crimsun, thanks
[09:36] <Maniqui> ops. lost again: I though I would find Amarok in the Synaptic Package Manager. But it's not there.
[09:36] <Red-Sox> snorks: sorry for the 'abrupt exit' yesterday, my dad was fooling around with the router
[09:36] <Natdigga_> eternalist, kool I'll check it out...
[09:36] <occy> !firefox
[09:36] <ubotu> No idea, occy
[09:36] <luisito> rubem, no pro :)
[09:36] <SteveW> soundray, back to confusion
[09:36] <soundray> SteveW, can you not install on a separate HD? Couple GB would be plenty.
[09:36] <Natdigga_> eternalist, also...where do I get plugins for totem media player...like WMV and MP3s.
[09:37] <crimsun> Maniqui: do you have the main repository enabled?
[09:37] <SteveW> soundray, i could....
[09:37] <unique311> hello
[09:37] <occy> firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[09:37] <crimsun> Natdigga_: install gstreamer0.8-mad and gstreamer0.8-ffmpeg
[09:37] <Red-Sox> unique311: hi
[09:37] <Maniqui> what do yo mean, crimsum? I have Synaptic opened.
[09:37] <soundray> SteveW, let's put it this way: by installing MS Windows in a raid config, you've made it inaccessible to the Ubuntu install process.
[09:37] <eternalist> Natdigga_, check out Easy Ubuntu installer :)
[09:37] <crimsun> occy: bad occy. You should not be using that ff deb.
[09:37] <luisito> Maniqui, sudo apt-get install amarok
[09:38] <Red-Sox> is snorks here?
[09:38] <occy> crimsun, it's not a deb
[09:38] <crimsun> occy: from the offical site?
[09:38] <occy> crimsun, heh, it's the tarball
[09:38] <Natdigga_> eternalist, that's the add application link right?
[09:38] <crimsun> occy: oh no, even worse
[09:38] <occy> crimsun, that's the official tarball
[09:38] <soundray> SteveW, if you install to a separate disk, you can boot Ubuntu normally, then run dmraid and make it readable.
[09:38] <Mabus06> what's the easiest way to play a sound backwards
[09:38] <occy> crimsun, well, I just downloaded it
[09:38] <SteveW> soundray, but if i installed ubuntu first, it would klobber grub
[09:38] <occy> and tried to run it from the dir.
[09:38] <ompaul> occy, for dapper?
[09:38] <occy> crimsun, so Ubuntu people are SOL for FF 1.5 ?
[09:38] <ompaul> occy, u running breezy?
[09:38] <occy> ompaul, yes
[09:38] <ompaul> occy, a word, don't do that
[09:39] <crimsun> occy: absolutely, until Ian finishes the proper packaging.
[09:39] <soundray> SteveW, now I'm confused. If you haven't installed yet, where have you got grub from?
[09:39] <occy> crimsun, topic says 1.5 won't be in until April when Dapper is released.
[09:39] <unique311> i'm from NY, my friend is in oklahoma, and i have a network setup on my pc, and i would like to allow my friend to access my shared documents, how do i do so?  one thing is that i have a linksys router connecting the 2 computers i own.
[09:39] <luisito> crimsun > Maniqui: do you have the main repository enabled? <---- (I think he doesn't)
[09:39] <occy> Seems like a heck of a long time to wait.
[09:40] <Maniqui> luisito, when I tried that I get http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/5310
[09:40] <SteveW> soundray, *IF* i were to install ub first then xp, xp would klobber grub
[09:40] <Maniqui> then, I tried it again, and I get: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) // E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[09:41] <mettallicat> can u tell-me package for alsaconf
[09:41] <mettallicat> ?
[09:41] <occy> crimsun, so the bottom line is, "Wait until April for Dapper Drake to get FF 1.5+?"
[09:41] <Maniqui> luisito, dont know how to enable main repository
[09:41] <ompaul> occy, well it is in the unstable version of the o/s being built, if you can afford the machine dying then you can consider running it but the o/s may not run, that is why it is the development version, stable came out in Oct it stays the same gets security fixes,
[09:41] <Red-Sox> snorks: r u there?
[09:41] <unique311> he has file sharing enabled, and i also have it, but when he tries to access my shareddocs //<IP_ADDRESS>/SharedDocs, he can't get thru
[09:41] <derek> mplayer doesn't come with the base install?
[09:41] <derek> in hoary
[09:41] <crimsun> occy: no. When it enters Dapper, it'll be backported to Breezy.
[09:41] <Veinos> can anyone help me installing ndiswrapper? i read the wiki on it, but i got some errors in the process
[09:41] <occy> ompaul, I thought Firefox 1.5 was a stable release.
[09:41] <soundray> SteveW, I was thinking you should leave the RAID with Windows as-is, install Ubuntu on a separate disk, no clobbering required.
[09:41] <ompaul> occy, dapper
[09:41] <occy> didn't know it was beta
[09:41] <ompaul> occy, builds for dapper
[09:42] <crimsun> occy: i.e., breezy-backports
[09:42] <unique311> my english is not so bien,
[09:42] <occy> crimsun, I thought backports were bad?  I'm so confused.
[09:42] <occy> heh
[09:42] <unique311> can anybody help me
[09:42] <calamari> hi
[09:42] <ompaul> !tell unique311 about fr
[09:42] <soundray> unique311, is this a ubuntu question?
[09:42] <crimsun> occy: unofficial backports are questionable at best.
[09:42] <SteveW> soundray, yes user jose.home has same problem in ubotu howto
[09:42] <unique311> yes it is
[09:42] <ltibor65> Hi!
[09:42] <hhurtta> what's wrong with ff1.5 and breezy?
[09:42] <crimsun> occy: the ones in the -backports repositories hosted on archive.ubuntu.com are fine
[09:43] <hhurtta> at least separate dl works with me
[09:43] <Baorc> ok i need some massive help with my asus a8v-e deluxe on board wifi card
[09:43] <unique311> ompaul: well i am using ubuntu, so i guess it is an ubuntu question
[09:43] <shining> kernels are nicely broken in dapper :d
[09:43] <calamari> I had to install windows (for a school assignment in vs.net), so of course grub is wiped out.  Whats the easiest way to get everything booting back to ubuntu again?  I have tomsrtbt and an old warty live cd, and I can download new stuff if needed
[09:43] <ompaul> unique311, ask in detail please
[09:44] <luisito> Maniqui, go to help and click the Ubuntu 5.10 Starter Guide link then go to Installing Aplications
[09:44] <crimsun> shining: in what sense?
[09:44] <Baorc> i tried the whole ndiswrapper thing, my driver is installed, ndiswrapper tells me my hardware is present
[09:44] <shining> calamari: it's easy to do it manually
[09:44] <dodgyville> Are there arm-linux cross compiler packages for ubuntu any where?
[09:44] <Baorc> but it doesnt show up anywhere else
[09:44] <shining> calamari: boot with a livecd, then mount your ubuntu partitions and chroot in it
[09:44] <Baorc> aka network tools or interfaces (i added the lines myself but its not working because it doesnt recognize wlan0)
[09:44] <unique311> ompaul: i have a network setup for the 2 computers i own at home, and would like my friend thats living in oklahoma to be able to access it.
[09:44] <shining> then just reinstall grub with grub-install for example
[09:45] <calamari> shining: ahhhh .. chroot. thank you :)
[09:45] <luisito> Maniqui, read and do what it says and then you're done
[09:45] <shining> crimsun: deps problem mostly
[09:45] <crimsun> shining: dependencies? which?
[09:45] <Red-Sox> snorks: join #Red-Sox
[09:45] <unique311> ompaul: i'm behind a router and the ip to the computer i want him to access is <IP_ADDRESS>, how can i set it up where he is part of the network, or can access my shareddoc
[09:45] <ompaul> unique311, I will give you a product that will work with that a dream OpenVPN you will have to search online for the FAQs for it but it works a dream
[09:45] <jorgg> is firefox 1.5 ready for install with synaptic packetmanager?
[09:46] <shining> crimsun: between the different kernel packages
[09:46] <ompaul> jorgg, no
[09:46] <_jason> jorgg, read the topic
[09:46] <shining> crimsun: you can install a kernel-image directly though
[09:46] <crimsun> shining: which kernel packages?
[09:46] <unique311> ompaul, thanks
[09:46] <shining> hmm linux-image I mean
[09:46] <ompaul> No Firefox 1.5 in Breezy until after it appears in Dapper.
[09:46] <Natdigga_> eternalist, Is there something else I need to do to see video from the WMV?
[09:46] <calamari> jorgg: I made a package for it, but really, you don't want it.. 1.5 isn't quite ready for prime time.. was crashing out all over the place
[09:46] <crimsun> shining: right, linux-image-$arch hasn't been updated to -6 yet
[09:46] <_jason> ubotu, tell Natdigga_ about w32codecs
[09:47] <Natdigga_> _jason, thanks
[09:47] <Red-Sox> snorks: okay?
[09:47] <shining> crimsun: try apt-get install linux for example
[09:47] <_jason> Natdigga_, np
[09:47] <jorgg> okay.
[09:47] <owner989> why is that ompaul
[09:47] <shining> crimsun: ha
[09:47] <derek> how to paste in vim?
[09:48] <shining> crimsun: one package had a problem too, linux-modules-common or something like that
[09:48] <crimsun> shining: l-r-m-common?
[09:48] <ompaul> owner989, that is because it did not make it into breezy as a release, it will only ever be available as a backport, it will never be part of the official breezy distro
[09:48] <shining> linux-restricted-modules-common
[09:48] <shining> yes
[09:48] <hhurtta> derek: paint with mouse and paste with middle button won't do?
[09:48] <crimsun> l-r-m-common is fine here
[09:48] <_jason> derek, p
[09:49] <ompaul> owner989, Oct 13th was the release date of Breezy 5.10
[09:49] <Red-Sox> does beagle cover IRC chats?
[09:49] <eternalist> Natdigga_, im telling you, get Easy Ubuntu, itll install all the codecs and everything
[09:49] <fco> hello, from shell how can i reconfigure the network ?
[09:49] <D-tag> Nautilus wont scroll through the file list when i hit a letter any idea why ?
[09:49] <shining> crimsun: ha yes sorry, they fixed it today
[09:49] <jknife> who uses DR17
[09:49] <Baorc> Can anyone help me with wifi on amd64 ?
[09:49] <shining> crimsun: only the problem that it isnt updated to -6 then
[09:50] <Red-Sox> snorks: is that okay?
[09:50] <soundray> Baorc, I can try...
[09:50] <Maniqui> do I need to install KDE for using Amarok?
[09:50] <owner989> ompaul does that mean we can install it separately
[09:50] <crimsun> Maniqui: no.
[09:50] <Baorc> soundray : yeah you aren't going to like this one, lol
[09:50] <jknife> Maniqui, just the libs
[09:50] <shining> on my other laptop with an ich6 chipset, I normally have sda for the hard drive, but with the latest 2.6.15 ubuntu kernel, it was under hda
[09:50] <crimsun> Maniqui: just ''sudo aptitude install amarok''
[09:50] <LjL> Maniqui: no, but installing it will result in installing many dependencies from kde, anyway
[09:51] <shining> and I couldn't enable dma, so it was awfully slow
[09:51] <Baorc> I installed the driver already, used the win2k one because apparently the winxp one is buggy
[09:51] <Baorc> through ndiswrapper
[09:51] <recon0> when i go away on gaim, the away message does not reply
[09:51] <Maniqui> aaaaaah, ok! I have enable more repositories. Thanks, I think I will be running Amarok in few minutes...
[09:51] <Baorc> apparently it installed correctly but it still doesnt show up anywhere
[09:51] <crimsun> shining: known issue, Scott's working on it.
[09:51] <derek> mplayer doesn't come with hoary base install?
[09:51] <Baorc> aka in network tools
[09:51] <_jason> recon0, I think you have to become idle for it to reply
[09:51] <Nico_1981> I compiled, installed the new linux kernel <IP_ADDRESS>, I configured it with the right paths in grub, and booting on it I receive: "kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)" ... ideas anybody ?
[09:51] <shining> crimsun: ok nice :) thanks for the info
[09:51] <soundray> Baorc, does it show up in ndiswrapper -l ?
[09:51] <Baorc> yeah it does
[09:51] <recon0> _jason, is there any way to fix this?
[09:52] <Baorc> driver present, hardware present
[09:52] <crimsun> Nico_1981: did you compile in all necessary drivers?
[09:52] <Baorc> but i still cant configure it
[09:52] <luisito> anybody knows why I'm having this error (Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)) when updating the repositories package lists?
[09:52] <crimsun> Nico_1981: did you ''sudo update-grub'' after editing the proper section in /boot/grub/menu.lst?
[09:52] <Baorc> i tried editing the interface file manually and add the necessary lines, no go
[09:52] <soundray> Baorc, do you get a wlan0 stanza in ifconfig -a ?
[09:52] <Baorc> nope
[09:52] <Nico_1981> crimsun, i kept the default in menuconfig, it has almost everything for at least not panicing
[09:53] <shining> crimsun: there is one wonderful thing about dapper, r300 works out of the box :)
[09:53] <owner989> whats the newest kernel for breezy
[09:53] <Baorc> i dont have a wlan0 anywhere
[09:53] <LjL> owner989: 2.6.12
[09:53] <crimsun> owner989: 2.6.12-10
[09:53] <_jason> recon0, yes, check away/idle prefs change auto-reply to just "away"
[09:53] <janek> h
[09:53] <mwe> update-grub. that shouldn't be necesary when installing a custom kernel
[09:53] <soundray> Baorc, do you know of any successes with ndiswrapper on AMD64? It could be that it just doesn't work...
[09:53] <recon0> ok
[09:53] <recon0> thanks
[09:53] <Nico_1981> crimsun, i didnt try update-grub, is it like the "lilo" command ? i thought grub did not need this step
[09:53] <redguy> luisito: souds like a corrupt Packages.gz file, try doing apt-get update again
[09:53] <owner989> i think im using 2.6.10
[09:53] <crimsun> shining: yes, quite a few things have been fixed, though we're in the process of breaking lots of things, too
[09:53] <Baorc> yeah i have actually
[09:53] <owner989> is it worth updating
[09:53] <Baorc> i actually got a detailed step by step for it
[09:53] <crimsun> Nico_1981: yes
[09:54] <luisito> owner989, 2.6.12-10-386 I think
[09:54] <soundray> Baorc, can you point me there pls?
[09:54] <shining> crimsun: x things ?
[09:54] <Baorc> on ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net in their wiki
[09:54] <Baorc> yeah one sec
[09:54] <Red-Sox> does anyone know snorks?
[09:54] <crimsun> shining: "breaking" meaning rearchitecting
[09:54] <mwe> Nico_1981: grub doesn't need the update-grub command to run when installing a custom kernel
[09:54] <shining> crimsun: ok
[09:54] <Nico_1981> crimsun, i install you meant "grub-install", I try and reboot
[09:55] <Baorc> mind if i msg it to you? dont want to spam the channel
[09:55] <soundray> Baorc, not at all.
[09:55] <ompaul> owner989, please join me in #ubuntu-ie or #ubuntu-offtopic so I can answer your question - my answer is longgggg
[09:55] <SteveW> soundray, https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6721
[09:55] <jknife> "If you have to ask how to use dapper, don't"... isnt it like using anyother debian based distro?
[09:55] <owner989> ok
[09:55] <crimsun> Nico_1981: no, I mean ''update-grub''
[09:55] <johnny___> hi
[09:56] <crimsun> jknife: yes...and no.
[09:56] <jknife> grub updates it self on boot
[09:56] <mwe> Nico_1981: non of those commands should be run when installing a custom kernel. just edit menu.lst. done
[09:56] <ompaul> jknife, no it is not ready for use - the kernel is not booting yet :)
[09:56] <luisito> redguy, it says : gzip: stdin: not in gzip format Err http://archive.ubuntu.com breezy/universe Packages
[09:56] <derek> how to install mplayer?
[09:56] <Nico_1981> mwe, i do everything by hand, so i just need to add a paragraph for my new entries in /boot, and reboot ? nothing to execute ? is there at least a way to check my menu.lst is correct ?
[09:56] <jknife> 2.6.13?
[09:56] <jknife> derek, sudo apt-get install mplayer
[09:56] <derek> k
[09:56] <crimsun> the kernel boots on most everything; it's the combined breakage that we've been pushing into Dapper that complicates things.
[09:56] <soundray> Baorc, do I have to enable msg'ing somehow?
[09:56] <johnny___> is there a way to do the "net send " command in linux to a windows machine?
[09:56] <_jason> ubotu, tell derek about mplayer
[09:56] <derek> jknife, does it play mp3s?
[09:56] <Baorc> maybe dunno
[09:56] <jknife> beats me
[09:56] <_jason> derek, yes
[09:57] <crimsun> derek: mplayer does
[09:57] <Baorc> tried again
[09:57] <soundray> Baorc, I found it.
[09:57] <_jason> ubotu, tell derek about mp3
[09:57] <Baorc> ok cool
[09:57] <mwe> Nico_1981: I don't know how to check if it's correct other than looking at it and trying to boot. no need to run any commands, other than editing menu.lst though
[09:57] <Nico_1981> mwe, crimsun, thanks
[09:58] <redguy> luisito: did you update again? if that doesn't help change your mirror
[09:58] <derek> ok
[09:58] <derek> thanks
[09:58] <johnny___> im naked
[09:58] <levander> I'm compiling the linux kernel the old fashioned way, just using make to stress test my CPU.  Don't want to install the built kernel.  Anybody know if typing the actual make that compiles the kernel will overwrite the installed kernel?
[09:58] <Stormx2> johnny___: o_O
[09:59] <johnny___> lol
[09:59] <trappist> levander: only make install risks doing that.  you're fine.
[09:59] <johnny___> sorry im bored
[09:59] <Stormx2> johnny___: We may live in our parents' basements, but we arn't that desperate
[09:59] <johnny___> derran borwn on now
[09:59] <Red-Sox> johnny___: are you really?
[09:59] <luisito> redguy, when I'm updating is when I get that error
[09:59] <levander> trappist: if you just do 'make' on the default target for a makefile, does that include the install target?
[09:59] <johnny___> no im afraid not im over a friends house
[09:59] <ompaul> johnny___, please note there are 677 people here it is a support channel join #ubuntu-offtopic for chat
[10:00] <Murrlin> g'afternoon all
[10:00] <Nico_1981> so I guess i dont have the right modules in the config ... sad, as i use the default config from kernel.org ... is it safe to use the 2.6.12 config by ubuntu for compiling a <IP_ADDRESS> kernel ?
[10:00] <soundray> Baorc, sorry I haven't found it. Pls paste the link, I'm sure noone will mind.
[10:00] <trappist> levander: no.  make just compiles.  you'd have to 'make install' to install it and overwrite anything.
[10:00] <Stormx2> Murrlin: Good evening
[10:00] <crimsun> levander: in any case, I presume you're compiling your kernel as a normal user, so ''make install'' would fail horribly anyway
[10:00] <eternalist> where do i put truetype fonts?
[10:00] <redguy> luisito: change your repository mirror then
[10:00] <levander> trappist: thanks
[10:00] <crimsun> eternalist: ~/.fonts/
[10:00] <eternalist> i need the tahoma.ttf font for a certain application im tryign to wine
[10:00] <eternalist> crimsun, you sure?
[10:00] <Murrlin> does ubuntu (gnome?) have video drivers specifically for a voodoo banshee (2d as well as 3d)?
[10:00] <Stormx2> !fonts
[10:00] <ubotu> hmm... fonts is https://wiki.ubuntu.com//FontInstallHowto
[10:01] <crimsun> eternalist: yes, why?
[10:01] <Nico_1981> levander, the make is ok, but dont type "make install", do it by hand with a different name
[10:01] <Murrlin> because I'm wondering about something. the slowness of ubuntu on my pII 400.
[10:01] <eternalist> crimsun, because i need it to run steam or something so
[10:01] <Baorc> soundray, got anything?
[10:01] <Murrlin> a) need a kernal 686? b) specific video drivers? or c) it'll be slower naturally because of the cpu speed?
[10:01] <soundray> Baorc, no :(
[10:01] <levander> Nico_1981: yeah, i think i'm going to actually do the make as a non-super user, and make sure i don't do a 'make install'
[10:01] <Baorc> but did you see the webpage?
[10:02] <courtney_> :D
[10:02] <SteveW> soundray, think i found the solution
[10:02] <nicholas> which is good desktop publishing program in ubuntu ?
[10:02] <SteveW> sound ray, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation/RAID1
[10:02] <johnny___> is there a way to do the net send command in linux
[10:02] <ColD_7> can anyone show me where can i get links for good linux rpg games?
[10:02] <maw> is ubuntu a debian fork?
[10:02] <soundray> Baorc, no, sorry, pls paste the URL.
[10:02] <ltibor65> Hi! Boys, why cannot I read NTFS partitions from Ubuntu 5.1?
[10:02] <crimsun> maw: no.
[10:02] <Baorc> aright here goes
[10:02] <maw> hehe
[10:02] <Baorc> http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/Ubuntu#Complete_Example_2_-_ASUS_A8V-E_On_Board_WiFi_.28Marvell_Chipset_11ab:lfa7.29_.2B_Ndiswrapper_.2B_Ubuntu_.28Breezy_Badger.29_.5BPost_by_Yueh_-_stevenyu24_AT_gmail.com.5D
[10:02] <_null> Murrlin, of course it will be slower because of your cpu... A pII 400 mhz is much slower than a p4 with 2.8 ghz ;)
[10:02] <kbrooks> crimsun, say why? ;)
[10:02] <Murrlin> alright
[10:02] <mwe> maw: it's based on debian sid
[10:02] <paines> hi
[10:02] <Baorc> thats exactly my mobo and the dev id of my onboard card
[10:02] <Murrlin> I could try the 686 kernel however.
[10:02] <maw> mwe: so it's a fork?
[10:03] <redguy> nicholas: don't know if that's what you want but look into inkscape
[10:03] <kbrooks> maw: no
[10:03] <mwe> maw: no
[10:03] <Murrlin> thanks
[10:03] <_null> Murrlin, of course you could...
[10:03] <kbrooks> maw: basing != fork
[10:03] <Baorc> actually i have the a8v-e deluxe but im pretty sure thats what he meant
[10:03] <maw> hehe, same shit
[10:03] <paines> anyone know if the amd64 libc6 version is compiled with mptl support?
[10:03] <kbrooks> maw: no, its not
[10:03] <meheren> can someone recommend a good c++ compiler
[10:04] <mjr> paines, yes, it is
[10:04] <crimsun> maw: no, it's not the same. Mark Shuttleworth addresses this question on his wiki page; go read it first. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarkShuttleworth
[10:04] <paines> mjr, how do you know ?
[10:04] <mjr> paines, umm, if you mean "ntpl" :)
[10:04] <redguy> meheren: g++ ?
[10:04] <flickerfly> What's the state of digital video on Ubuntu? Can it be done by someone without a video geek degree?
[10:04] <ltibor65> Crimsun, why cannot I read NTFS partition from Ububtu?
[10:04] <meheren> g++? ok thx
[10:04] <soundray> Baorc, are you sure this guy is running amd64?
[10:04] <crimsun> ltibor65: did you mount it correctly?
[10:04] <meheren> apr0get install g+++?
[10:05] <crimsun> meheren: no, ''sudo aptitude install build-essential''
[10:05] <Baorc> actually good point, dunno but im pretty sure that board is 64, i cant back it up though..
[10:05] <meheren> apt-get install G++?
[10:05] <mjr> paines, well, for example how the threads are arranged in /proc and show/don't show in ps, but I did check it more thorougly too some time back
[10:05] <meheren> ok
[10:05] <maw> "Is Ubuntu a Debian fork?" "Yes, Ubuntu is a fork"
[10:05] <nicholas> video geek degree :)
[10:05] <soundray> Baorc, he may just have done the plain i386 install, inspite of k8.
[10:05] <johnny___> dose any one know a good network/hacking talk on freenode?
[10:05] <vbgunz> s
[10:05] <Baorc> then holy crap where can i find something for that because ive been trying stuff for like a week with a shitload of different things
[10:06] <mjr> paines, ah, found it; getconf GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION
[10:06] <soundray> Baorc, don't start swearing just yet...
[10:06] <eternalist> crimsun, i dont have a .fonts directory
[10:06] <Baorc> i heard about amd64 having troubles with wireless and to just install the plain i386 install
[10:06] <eternalist> Does anyone know where to put the tahoma.ttf font?
[10:06] <ltibor65> I installed Ubuntu, I see the Windows harddrives on the desktop, but cannot read.
[10:06] <paines> mjr, ahhhh.thx man
[10:06] <existance> Are there any in-depth tutorials for Unix/Ubunut anyone would recommend?
[10:06] <paines> mjr, didn't know of getconf
[10:06] <soundray> Baorc, it may be that you just have to get a 64bit Windows driver to feed ndiswrapper with.
[10:06] <crimsun> eternalist: then create one, and put the font there, then run ''sudo fc-cache -fv''
[10:06] <Baorc> which i would have...
[10:06] <owner989> ltibor65 read http://www.ubuntuguide.org/#mountunmountntfs
[10:06] <mwe> i'd put tahoma.ttf in /dev/null
[10:06] <existance> ltibor65, did you mount them?
[10:07] <derek> how can i find out how large mplayer would be before downloading/(installing)?
[10:07] <ltibor65> No,
[10:07] <slew> !mp3
[10:07] <ubotu> mp3 is, like, a non-free format. To enable mp3 capability, read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats.
[10:07] <existance> ltibor65, do you know which partitiosn they are?
[10:07] <Baorc> i downloaded all the drivers for all the windows for my mobo, so just installing it with ndiswrapper, it should appear in network tools?
[10:07] <ltibor65> automount
[10:07] <DarkO> Is 64 bit Breezer faster then i386?
[10:07] <Stormx2> derek: In synaptic, mark as install, then go to "apply changes". The dialog box will tell you
[10:07] <paines> DarkO, yes
[10:08] <existance> ltibor65, do you know which partitions they are though?
[10:08] <soundray> SteveW, "At least root partition should not be on RAID1"...
[10:08] <mjr> DarkO, generally, a bit. Probably not visibly except in computation-intensive jobs
[10:08] <ltibor65> I can read fat32 and other linux partition, but ntfs not.
[10:08] <SteveW> soundray, what does that first statement mean
[10:08] <sorush20> hi guys
[10:09] <SteveW> soundray, does it mean, "you should put the root not on raid, but if you want to, here's how you do it"?
[10:09] <sorush20> I've still not sorted out my ubuntu problem..
[10:09] <existance> ltibor65, can you paste your /etc/fstab file to www.pastebin.com?
[10:09] <DarkO> Thanks  paines and mjr! I'm allready downloading 64 bit version.
[10:09] <eternalist> crimsun, do you know why when i try to type in the steam login, it starts typing outside of it, like it types in my terminal and stuff
[10:09] <eternalist> crimsun, i cant type inside
[10:09] <cdubya> nicholas, I'm a bit late back, have you checked into scribus?
[10:09] <slew> what do i need to do to get k3b to burn mp3s? says unsupported format. =[
[10:09] <crimsun> eternalist: come again?
[10:10] <El_Che> anyone here has gotten a vpn to work if the rules of the vpn requires a windows antivurus and a windows firewall program
[10:10] <sorush20> is there a way that I could disable different services daemons from the command line in the recovery mode?
[10:10] <ltibor65> How do I make it?
[10:10] <El_Che> ?
[10:10] <Red-Sox> snorks: kay?
[10:10] <Baorc> aright off to try the other drivers.
[10:10] <mwe> SteveW: I seem to remember racing conditions and having to use an initramfs to use raid on /. I might be wrong though
[10:10] <soundray> SteveW, whatever it means, it says "make the raid1 in the partitioner", which means these are not the instructions for a RAID that's already set up.
[10:10] <derek> Stormx2, k
[10:10] <existance> Is it possible to have an extended desktop where one monitor runs off an ATI card while the other is a PCI Geforce card?
[10:10] <eternalist> crimsun, im trying to run Steam, and i try to typ ein the login, but it types outside, like it isnt acceptin gmy keystrokes
[10:10] <Baorc> thanks soundray
[10:10] <soundray> Baorc, the drivers you've downloaded aren't necessarily 64-bit.
[10:10] <crimsun> eternalist: no, do it in a Terminal
[10:10] <crimsun> eternalist: Applications> Accessories> Terminal
[10:10] <soundray> Baorc, esp. since you said you used win2k ones (?)
[10:11] <SteveW> mwe, what do you mean racing conditions
[10:11] <existance> Is it possible to have an extended desktop where one monitor runs off an ATI card while the other is a PCI Geforce card?
[10:11] <SteveW> mwe, check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation/RAID1
[10:11] <oxez> eternalist: run wine in a 'desktop' , see winecfg
[10:11] <eternalist> crimsun, nevermind, i set a profile to run it in a virtual desktop because it wont take focus
[10:11] <eternalist> oxez, thx lol, i figured it out
[10:11] <Simira> how do I print a page in b/w on a colour printer?

[10:13] <qt2> ltibor65, use pastebin or nomorepasting from now on.
[10:13] <johnny___> hi
[10:13] <janek> how do I setup dualmonitor in ubuntu
[10:13] <existance> Is it possible to have an extended desktop where one monitor runs off an ATI card while the other is a PCI Geforce card?
[10:13] <johnny___> is there a program to chekc what ports ahve been blocked
[10:13] <mwe> SteveW: that's why it's not to easy to use raid on / iirc
[10:13] <Simira> how do I print a page in b/w on a colour printer?
[10:13] <qt2> brb.
[10:14] <mjr> existance, yes, shouldn't be a problem. I'm not sure if 3d acceleration would work, tho.
[10:14] <soundray> existance, you can do stuff like that in X in principle.
[10:14] <soundray> existance, you'll have to hack on your xorg.conf, though.
[10:14] <existance> soundray, i'm decently new, is that something I shouldn't attempt for a while?
[10:14] <janek> can someone help with installing ATI video drivers
[10:14] <psusi> I'm trying to figure out how to make daily incremental backups... I found tar has a --newer-mtime option that looks like I should be able to use to backup only files that changed
[10:14] <cdubya> Simira, what kind of printer?
[10:14] <jasongrieves> mjr do you have a free minute/
[10:14] <Simira> cdubya : HP Deskjet 3550
[10:15] <SteveW> stevew, ya. but the installer has an option for filetype "physical volume for RAID" whatever that means
[10:15] <johnny___> can some one help me?
[10:15] <mjr> existance, I wouldn't recommend it for the faint of heart, no
[10:15] <mjr> jasongrieves, yeah, why me? ;)
[10:15] <cion> how do i check my kernel version?
[10:15] <psusi> only when I use it, tar prints a line for every file it is NOT backing up because it is old, and it seems to add every directory to the archive even though it contains no newer and thus backed up files
[10:15] <psusi> anyone have any sugestions on how to clean that up a bit?
[10:15] <mwe> SteveW: you could do it with a seperate /boot partition that is not in a raid array or use an initfs. But again I might be wrong, it's quite some time since I read about it
[10:15] <janek> I've followed the instructions on ATI site, but still can't install
[10:15] <jasongrieves> mjr because you helped yesterday, could you tell me what shell user gdm is using on ur ubuntu?
[10:15] <holycow> hey, on a system where there is only one account ... if you chmod 600 their dir .... you can no longer write to it of course.  how does one change the dir back to say 755?  a live cd perhaps?
[10:15] <DarkO> cion - uname -a
[10:15] <existance> mjr, mmm, i guess i'll wait a week and see how pissed i get at having one monitor
[10:15] <soundray> existance, I'd suggest you search the web - there are reports and howtos on dual monitor setups like that. If you feel up to it, do it.
[10:16] <Maniqui> it wasn just: "install amarok and play your mp3 files!". I needed to install some plug-ins, etc... now listening to Yello! thanks!
[10:16] <jasongrieves> existance there are lots of posts aobut it
[10:16] <mjr> jasongrieves, /bin/false
[10:16] <existance> soundray, i'll look around
[10:16] <svk_frank> Is there anybody working on a package for ubuntu for xen ?
[10:16] <jasongrieves> mjr, great, does it have a random password ?
[10:16] <johnny___> Can someone help me plz?
[10:16] <Simira> cdubya : any idea?
[10:16] <mjr> existance, neither of the cards supports two monitors on its own?
[10:16] <Maniqui> aaaaah, linux is hard, but when you are beeing helped and you discovery something, it's a nice feeling
[10:17] <cion> dark0 u sure?
[10:17] <luisito> redguy, can you paste your sources.list in the paste bin please?
[10:17] <mjr> jasongrieves, no, it has no valid password
[10:17] <jasongrieves> mjr, thanks, helps a lot
[10:17] <slew> johnny___, whats up?
[10:17] <Stormchaser> !tell cion about u
[10:17] <cdubya> Simira, not on that particular model, but on the Z22 I use on my lan here, I just opened the print admin and right-clicked to properties, then clicked on Advanced and there was an open to change to b/w
[10:17] <DarkO> cion, yes in terminal window or console, just type  uname -a
[10:18] <Stormchaser> dammit! wrong chan :/
[10:18] <cdubya> Simira, System > Administration > Printing
[10:18] <johnny___> say your connected to a server and that server blocks out certain ports such as irc is there away i can find out what other ports are blocked aswell?
[10:18] <cion> must kernel always be compiled?
[10:18] <cdubya> Simira, right-click printer > Properties
[10:18] <eternalist> Anybody want to help me write a Equation to calculate Pwnage of a given object?
[10:18] <trappist> johnny___: nmap
[10:18] <eternalist> itll be named after me and use the greek letter
[10:18] <cdubya> Simira, then check to see if there's an Advanced tab
[10:18] <sethk> Simira, you can install one instance of the printer with color set, and another instance with b+w set
[10:18] <Simira> cdubya : yes, I didn't think of that. Thanks!
[10:18] <cdubya> np
[10:18] <eternalist> therefore a micro of that unit will be a
[10:19] <DarkO> cion, yes but it is compiled by your distribution vendor
[10:19] <cdubya> Simira, sethk is right....good suggestion
[10:19] <soundray> johnny___, yes, you'd have to do a port scan. But unless it's your machine, don't do it - you'll make yourself very unpopular.
[10:19] <cion> Dark0 what u mean i got ubuntu by myself
[10:20] <DarkO> cion, with it you've got compiled kernel too. I don't understand what do you mean.
[10:20] <fco> how can i modify ubuntu configuration without X server ?
[10:20] <soundray> fco, edit the relevant files in /etc/
[10:20] <ompaul> fco, do you mean turn off X?
[10:21] <cion> Dark0: i was told to compile kernel but my comp just goes fine, is that necessary? i downloaded linux-686 package and uninstalled linux 386
[10:21] <DarkO> cion, you can compile your version and configuration of kernel by yourself
[10:21] <Maniqui> there is a icon in the tray that says that there are 37 packages to update... should I update?
[10:21] <johnny___> ok
[10:21] <fco> ompaul, no.. i've not installed X
[10:21] <Red-Sox> snorks: okay?
[10:21] <johnny___> but i dont inderstand
[10:21] <cion> dark0 ok where do i get ubuntu info for that?
[10:21] <trappist> cion: if it ain't broke, tweak it
[10:21] <maria> hi
[10:21] <ompaul> cion, you need to nothing see trappist's comment
[10:21] <fco> i ask if there is a shell interface to modify configuration...
[10:21] <cion> trappist sorry?
[10:21] <DarkO> cion, no you don't have to compile kernel, unless you want different version or kernel configuration (drivers etc)
[10:21] <trappist> cion: it's a joke, mostly
[10:22] <trappist> fco: in linux almost all configuration is in text files
[10:22] <ompaul> fco,  your question is far to vague
[10:22] <cion> trappist oh ok sorry my english is poor
[10:22] <cion> Dark0 if i compile kernel my laptop will run better?
[10:22] <trappist> cion: not really, no
[10:22] <Simira> cdubya : didn't seem to work for the evince pdf printout, though
[10:22] <Veinos> hey, i'm trying to edit a file (control.modules) i've change the permission to read and write, but i can't save it
[10:23] <cion> trappist oh ok good news thx
[10:23] <cion> cya all
[10:23] <psusi> I'm trying to figure out how to make daily incremental backups... I found tar has a --newer-mtime option that looks like I should be able to use to backup only files that changed
[10:23] <psusi> only when I use it, tar prints a line for every file it is NOT backing up because it is old, and it seems to add every directory to the archive even though it contains no newer and thus backed up files
[10:23] <maria> hi, how can I install new hardware, a wireless lan card for example
[10:23] <trappist> Veinos: are you the owner of that file?
[10:23] <psusi> anyone have any sugestions on how to clean that up a bit?
[10:23] <DarkO> cion probably not
[10:23] <jasongrieves> Veinos are you using sudo gedit control.modules
[10:23] <Veinos> no
[10:23] <jasongrieves> or your fav/ text editor
[10:23] <johnny___> if i port redirected port 6667 through 80 would it mess up my webbrowsing?
[10:23] <jasongrieves> sudo nano control.modules
[10:23] <Veinos> not the owner, but i change the permission for others to write it
[10:23] <maria> hi, how can I install new hardware, a wireless lan card for example
[10:24] <calamari> yay.. back in ubuntu :)
[10:24] <soundray> fco, is there something specific that you'd like to configure?
[10:24] <Veinos> isn't that enough?
[10:24] <cdubya> Simira, sorry, what were you trying to print?
[10:24] <fco> ompaul, the initial configuration is in a text interface.. there is a similar interface for post configuration ?
[10:24] <ompaul> maria, if you have bought it you may need to use ndiswrapper (to do so >>/msg ubotu ndiswrapper<<)
[10:24] <calamari> noice thing about my ff1.5 package is that it was easy to get back to 1.0.7 .. hehe
[10:24] <Simira> cdubya : a pdf from evince
[10:24] <fco> soundray, yes the network interfaces for example
[10:24] <jasongrieves> Veinos sorry you'll have to get some other help, i gotta run
[10:24] <cdubya> ah
[10:24] <maria> thx ompaul, ill try that out
[10:25] <ompaul> fco, depends on the program, in a lot of cases as has been said the config is in txt
[10:25] <soundray> fco, good example. You use an editor, eg. nano, and open /etc/network/interfaces
[10:25] <jasongrieves> Veinos you need to be in the group/owner fora file/folder or set the permission for writing for all users otherwise
[10:25] <ompaul> fco, in /etc/ or the users home directory for non system wide configs
[10:25] <cdubya> Simira, did you happen to go ahead and try sethk's suggestion and create two different instances of the printer......
[10:25] <soundray> fco, the syntax of the file is documented in man interfaces.
[10:25] <Veinos> it worked, with sudo gedit... i jsut thought changing the permission would solve the problem :\
[10:25] <lito> xD
[10:25] <lito> wena
[10:25] <fco> ompaul, soundray, ok Thanks
[10:26] <Simira> cdubya : it's not possible, as I can't rename the printer, I think... I'm still working on it
[10:26] <levander> Does a 'make clean' remove everything that has been built when you do a 'make' with the linux kernel sources?
[10:26] <trappist> Veinos: files aren't just readable and writable - they're readable and writable for the owner, the owner's group, and/or others
[10:26] <jasongrieves> Veinos be careful with modifying system files w/ permissions
[10:26] <jasongrieves> Veinos you dont want to give all users write access to say xorg
[10:27] <johnny___> can i net send to a windows computer using linux???????
[10:27] <levander> The damn kernel HOWTO has been taken down off tldp.org while they're writing a new one, and I can't find good doc.'s.
[10:27] <cdubya> Simira, double click on New printer, then set the name to be something unique, like HP_ModNum_BW.....
[10:27] <Veinos> jason, i believe you, but i don't know what xorg is :)
[10:27] <cdubya> Simira, then make that one set by default to B/W
[10:27] <jasongrieves> Veinos xorg.conf, controls hwo your X server behaves
[10:27] <trappist> johnny___: sudo apt-get install linpopup
[10:27] <Veinos> trapist: yah i understand that, but what amI as default user? other?
[10:27] <adamw_> !listkeys print

[10:28] <Veinos> not scared of hackers for now... since i'm trying to make my wireless to work :)
[10:28] <Simira> cdubya : Ubuntu doesn't allow me to manually name printers. It's just "producer - model"
[10:28] <piedoggie> thanks

[10:29] <piedoggie> thaks
[10:29] <maria> ompaul, how can I get your information to work? do I have to type it in a terminal?
[10:29] <Ep|phany> no just to hide it on the interent kinda
[10:29] <raul> hola
[10:30] <trappist> Ep|phany: you have to connect through a proxy to do that
[10:30] <_jason> Ep|phany, use a proxy
[10:30] <ompaul> !tell maria about ndiswrapper
[10:31] <ompaul> maria, try the card first incase it has native support then you just click on System - Administration - Networking
[10:31] <Stormx2> How do I copy all files in a directory to another directory?
[10:31] <Ep|phany> are there any program that grabs proxys randonmly and like a separate gui
[10:31] <sethk> Stormx2, cp -av
[10:31] <sethk> Stormx2, for example,   cp -av /x/y/z/. /a/b/.
[10:31] <sethk> Stormx2, or, to the current directory, cp -av /x/y/z/. .
[10:31] <Baorc> Aright still no luck with AMD64 and wireless...
[10:31] <sethk> stock, note the dots, they are part of the command
[10:32] <Veinos> whatever command i do, it ends with errors :(
[10:32] <sethk> Stormx2, sorry stock, I meant storm2, the dots are part of the command
[10:32] <Baorc> Can anyone help me with this (AMD64 + wireless
[10:32] <sethk> Stormx2, the v part just means verbose, but I like to use it and see what's happening
[10:32] <Veinos> (Baorc): i,m in the same situation :(
[10:32] <Baorc> yeah its annoying, what mother board do you have?
[10:32] <cdubya> Simira, just tested it and I added an identical printer and the print manager just assigns the second instance with a -1 in it's name to keep it unique
[10:32] <maria> ompaul, the card appears, but how can I configure the hardware to ensure it works? It's market as not configured..
[10:32] <Ep|phany> how do i use a proxy wirth mozilla

[10:33] !lilo:*! Hi all. Please be aware that we've resolved a number of issues resulting in spurious clonebot bans on Tor users. Freenode supports Tor, and you should feel free to use it while you're here. Thanks!
[10:33] <johnny___> is ther a peogram like neo trace but for linux
[10:33] <DarkO> What is general support for 64 bit drivers in Breezer?
[10:34] <johnny___> ettherape
[10:34] <amparo_pzzi> some program to pass avi to vcd?????
[10:34] <mcphail> LjL: well done on the howto
[10:35] <johnsie2k> !java
[10:35] <ubotu> To install Java/Sun Java see Java on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats and also see !javadebs
[10:35] <LjL> mcphail: thanks, i saw you added some info too
[10:35] <levander> Nobody has seen instructions on how to copy the partitions that contain your linux system to another disk, and then to run that system off the other disk have they?
[10:35] <eternalist> Is there a utility similar to PowerStrip for linux
[10:35] <matty66> morning all
[10:35] <maria> ompaul, how do I know it has native support?
[10:35] <ompaul> maria, try it
[10:35] <eternalist> Meaning, is there a utility where you can press certain keycombos to get a higher gamma
[10:36] <eternalist> i know on windows, i can press Ctrl+alt++ or - to get a higher gamma or lower
[10:36] <Nico_1981> levander, i have found sth that may interest you: in kernel config, you can type a suffix to add to the kernel version name (like <IP_ADDRESS>-mykernel)
[10:36] <eternalist> sometimes i need to adjust the brightness, and i find it handy to do it that way
[10:36] <lord_drachenblut> hey all
[10:36] <trappist> eternalist: I use a gamma plugin for gkrellm
[10:36] <levander> Nico_1981: that is cool, i'll do that next time
[10:36] <eternalist> does it accept keyboard shortcuts?
[10:36] <Nico_1981> levander, with this you may be able to use make install
[10:36] <eternalist> and whats it called?
[10:37] <levander> Nico_1981: that documentation I wanted on the linux kernel Makefile, you type 'make help' and all the doc.'s are there
[10:37] <johnny___> is there a program for linux that is like neo trace
[10:37] <Nico_1981> levander, it is in config > general setp > local version
[10:37] <Stormx2> What should I do once i've accidently deleted all content in my /usr/share/pixmaps directory?
[10:37] <Stormx2> >.>
[10:37] <lord_drachenblut> anyone got a few to try to help me figure out a small problem
[10:37] <trappist> eternalist: it's called gkrellm-gamma and I don't think it takes keyboard shortcuts but it's quite handy.  if you know of a console app that will adjust gamma you could map keys to it
[10:37] <Veinos> what does it means when i have a big X in the up right corner of the icon of a file?
[10:38] <matty66> hi all, i'm really new to linux and ubuntu, i'm trying to set up apache on it; i type "./configure prefix=/usr/local/apache2" and i get the error message "configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH" i have very little idea what i'm doing, can anyone help me past this error please?
[10:38] <Veinos> it's a .gz
[10:38] <trappist> matty66: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[10:38] <Stormx2> Seriously like, could someone tar up their /usr/share/pixmaps folder...
[10:38] <trappist> matty66: but why not just sudo apt-get install apache2
[10:38] <lord_drachenblut> i'm trying to get a usb headset to work with ubuntu and not sure what i need to do to get it up and running
[10:38] <administrator> so how is everyone doin
[10:38] <_jason> Stormx2, what happened
[10:38] <johnny___> hi
[10:38] <eternalist> trappist, yes, xgamma, but thats a lot of work lol
[10:38] <trappist> Stormx2: it's 9MB
[10:39] <matty66> trappist: i've never heard of "sudo apt-get install apache2" it hasn't been in any of the instructions i';ve read anywhere, what does it do?
[10:39] <mjr> Stormx2, well, you could check /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list files to see what packages install files into the pixmap directory, and reinstall those packages
[10:39] <Stormx2> _jason: I managed to copy some files accidently into /usr/share/pixmaps/./ And I went and did rm -rf /usr/share/pixmaps/./ and it deleted everything. Joy.
[10:39] <trappist> matty66: it installs apache2
[10:39] <Red-Sox> snorks: ?
[10:39] <johnny___> is there a program on linux that is a trace route bu plots the servers on a map????????
[10:39] <trappist> Stormx2: well done
[10:39] <_jason> Stormx2, heh could be worse :D  I'll tar mine up for you, do you have an email address? pm me
[10:40] <Stormx2> trappist: I know >.>

[10:40] <urbanfox[loyal] > it's not in the ubuntu reps
[10:40] <matty66> trappist: i'll try it, but any idea how to fix the other issue?
[10:40] <Mabus06> how can I make an image to be used for an icon that isn't a rectangle... ie: say it's a circle, it wouldnt have white corners showing up on the icon
[10:40] <lord_drachenblut> ...
[10:40] <trappist> matty66: yeah, the thing I said before sudo apt-get install apache2
[10:40] <lord_drachenblut> guess knows the answer
[10:40] <Stormx2> Mabus06: Transparency?
[10:41] <Mabus06> Stormx2, uh, sure
[10:41] <trappist> Mabus06: it would have to be a rectangle with transparent corners
[10:41] <Mabus06> Stormx2, what program can I do this easiest with?
[10:41] <trappist> Mabus06: gimp
[10:41] <Stormx2> Mabus06: The GIMP
[10:41] <luisito> anyone please paste your sources.list in pastebin for me to check something, thanks
[10:42] <mjr> Stormx2, apt-get --reinstall install $(grep ^/usr/share/pixmaps /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list | cut -d : -f 1 | sed s:/var/lib/dpkg/info/:: | sed s:.list$:: | sort -u
[10:42] <Stormx2> mjr: O_O ok
[10:42] <johnny___> where would i get xtraceroute from
[10:42] <mjr> Stormx2, "should" reinstall all packages that have pixmaps installed ;)
[10:42] <trappist> Stormx2: www.linuxkungfu.org/tmp/pixmaps.tar.bz2
[10:42] <mjr> oops, lacking a ")" right at the end
[10:42] <Stormx2> mjr: That just got me to a bash prompt.
[10:42] <matty66> trappist: thanks, i'll go try it
[10:42] <shachaf> I can't get X to work using the ATI drivers (card is Radeon Xpress 200M) on Ubuntu 5.10. X aborts with signal 4 (SIGILL), but I can't see any (EE) lines. I do see 'Skipping "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libfb.a:fbmmx.o":  No symbols found'. Has anyone else had this problem?

[10:58] <emil> !nvidia
[10:58] <ubotu> I heard nvidia is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia, or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=57368
[10:58] <shachaf> nass: You're using ATI's drivers?
[10:58] <_jason> jonnyt, i'd suggest you try it, but I've done it on ~100mb size files and it just copies what it is up to.
[10:59] <nass> yes, I tried the ones with ubuntu, and the latest from ATI, none work
[10:59] <jonnyt> thanks jason
[10:59] <ompaul> trappist, why?
[10:59] <shachaf> nass: What version of the drivers, 8.19.10?

[11:01] <nass> at x server startup....
[11:01] <shachaf> nass: Do you make a .deb, or install directly?
[11:02] <nass> direct install, automatic
[11:02] <johnny___> i try to scan a site in xtrace it shows the site up but dosent plot it up on the map
[11:02] <shachaf> nass: Hmm, I've had better luck with making .debs.

[11:03] <shachaf> nass: From the list, choose Ubuntu if you can see it.
[11:03] <ompaul> jeffisageek, that was a no
[11:03] <shachaf> nass: It's the last option.
[11:03] <Plagued> anyone use vsftpd?
[11:03] <jeffisageek> _jason, thanks :D
[11:03] <jeffisageek> need to learn to read
[11:04] <Stormx2> trappist: Yep, but I have some apps you didn't have. Only a couple.
[11:04] <trappist> aight then
[11:04] <nass> there seems to be several version for ubuntu, I can only see the upper aprt of the first
[11:05] <shachaf> nass: The last option is 5.10.
[11:05] <shachaf> nass: So just press the down arrow until you get there, I guess.
[11:05] <shachaf> nass: Then <SPACE><ENTER>.
[11:06] <shachaf> nass: By the way, did you ever get horizontal lines on the screen after starting X?
[11:06] <nass> no, never
[11:07] <shachaf> nass: Hmm.
[11:07] <nass> and the keyboards shortcuts do not work

[11:07] <trappist> mp3guy: import -window root file.png
[11:08] <Otis> do I have to uninstall gcc-4.0 altogether ?
[11:08] <airox> Otis: change gcc symlink to direct to gcc-3.4.

[11:11] <Baorc> wlan0 is non-existant
[11:11] <Veinos> baorc, did you check if the drivers are properly installed?

[11:13] <Veinos> if i get further, i'll let you know
[11:13] <Baorc> which card do you have?
[11:13] <shachaf> nass: Try ./ati[...]  --buildpkg Ubuntu/5.10.
[11:13] <shachaf> nass: (If you're running 5.10.)
[11:14] <trappist> Baorc: I don't think ndiswrapper works on amd64
[11:14] <Baorc> ive seen some successes
[11:14] <Baorc> but not with the same card
[11:14] <trappist> somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but it wants to use win32 (as in 32 bit) drivers
[11:14] <Baorc> they were broadcomm cards or something
[11:14] <nass> make: dh_testdir : commande introuvable
[11:14] <nass> make: *** [configure]  Erreur 127
[11:14] <Techie_dude> I can't make odds from ends out of this driver thing.....is there a way i can configure my lexmark x75 fom the computer itself
[11:14] <Baorc> oh i gave it 32bit drivers
[11:14] <nass> shachaf, it does not work neither
[11:14] <Baorc> and i also tried with my 64bit ones
[11:15] <Baorc> both installed correctly
[11:15] <ying> hello, I have just finished the installation of ubuntu 5.10, and tried to install kde. But it reports some problems on dependency. Anyone can help me! thanks a lot
[11:15] <shachaf> nass: Did you install the .debs?
[11:15] <Veinos> i got a broadcom on 64bit ubuntu and can't install the drivers ;(
[11:15] <shachaf> nass: Is the error different?
