[04:56] <arsentop> Blinocac200sx, dont paste lots of lines in the channel :)
[04:56] <Taime1> i want to test the three i have installed until i figure out which one works best
[04:56] <Blinocac200sx> what is pastebin?
[04:56] <Taime1> to make a long story short:
[04:56] <eisma> can anyone help me install flash 9 on ubuntu?
[04:56] <bruenig> Blinocac200sx, do what it says "sudo apt-get -f install"
[04:56] <Blinocac200sx> I've done that

[04:56] <bruenig> Taime1, the best one is sun-java5-bin
[04:56] <arsentop> try it out.
[04:56] <draeath> Blinocac200sx, http://www.google.com/serach?q=pastebin
[04:56] <Blinocac200sx> I'm just running in circles
[04:56] <Taime1> okay, well, how do i tell firefox to use that java version?
[04:57] <Winter-1> what do i need to build from svn
[04:57] <bruenig> eisma, howto I put together http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=279990
[04:57] <JPMaximilian> is feisty still in a rather unstable state?
[04:57] <Winter-1> because i get svn: command not found
[04:57] <rellik_> when I try to run the terminal program it comes up on the toolbar as 'Starting terminal' but after a few seconds it goes away, and the window never pops up
[04:57] <ssmasud> any NS2 experts over here????plz...
[04:57] <corevette> frogzoo...this time the progress bar didn't even move
[04:57] <bruenig> Taime1, the following command should work: sudo update-alternatives --set java /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java
[04:57] <ericj2190> should i delete anything else other than the ftp user and the config files?
[04:57] <rellik_> how do I find out why I can't run terminal?
[04:57] <j1p> I'm having trouble with sound in CS 1.6 under wine, anyone have any ideas?
[04:58] <Blinocac200sx> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/2832/
[04:58] <Taime1> well, see here's my other question.. doesnt that apply to every program in the computer?
[04:58] <Xenguy> rellik_: apt-get install gnome-terminal
[04:58] <bruenig> Xenguy, how do you expect him to do that?
[04:58] <Blinocac200sx> thats what I get when I run the apt-get -f install
[04:58] <Xenguy> bruenig: you tell me =)
[04:59] <rellik_> Xenguy, it is already installed..  is there a way for apt-get to redownload and reinstall?
[04:59] <gleamnite> What's the quickest way to migrate a database from MS Access to MySQL?
[04:59] <bruenig> rellik_, what happens when you do alt+f2 to get the run dialog and run gnome-terminal? does that work?
[04:59] <Blinocac200sx> I need it to quit arguing with me and just remove the package when I tell it to
[04:59] <Xenguy> rellik_: purge/re-install, or --reinstall  ?
[04:59] <Oly> OMG! I AM ABOUT TO SHOOT MY SELF IN THE FACE!!!!
[04:59] <bruenig> Blinocac200sx, what is this package, where did you get it and such
[04:59] <Xenguy> Oly: click
[04:59] <gleamnite> Don't do it... it's messy.
[05:00] <rellik_> bruenig, no, alt-F2 -> 'gnome-terminal' doesn't seem to do anything
[05:00] <Blinocac200sx> I was upgrading to edgy, and something happened, and the install aborted halfway through
[05:00] <Oly> ALRIGHT!!! NOW that I believe I finally have a UN CORRUPT VERSION! AFter my 6th GOddam CD! I get error 15 when grub loads and I dont know how to get around it
[05:00] <bef> Orly Oly
[05:00] <Xenguy> grrr
[05:00] <Oly> WTH DO I DO? I WILL PAY PAl SOMEONE 5 BUcks right away IF they can help set this up within a our!
[05:00] <Oly> on the table
[05:00] <bruenig> Oly, you need to calm down
[05:00] <di||itante> Blinocac200sx, Did you to the "apt-get --reinstall install courier-authdaemon"
[05:00] <corevette> well i'm going to fedora since no one can fix my problem
[05:00] <theilliniguy> newb question - im running 6.06 - should I update to newest version?
[05:00] <Blinocac200sx> now when I try to run synaptic or updates it gives me errors
[05:01] <Blinocac200sx> apt-get has no reinstall option
[05:01] <maddash> Blinocac200sx: are you downloading courier-authdaemon?
[05:01] <bef> corevette what is your problem
[05:01] <Xenguy> theilliniguy: breezy is supported the longest (if that matters)
[05:01] <maddash> Blinocac200sx: try another mirror, if you are...
[05:01] <di||itante> Blinocac200sx, yes it does
[05:01] <bruenig> theilliniguy, if you want to. You aren't missing much by not upgrading. And some say the newer one is unstable.
[05:01] <corevette> bef....when i load the live cd...it freezes on boot during the logo with the progress bar going
[05:01] <bruenig> Xenguy means dapper not breezy
[05:01] <Blinocac200sx> I honestly don't care about auth daemon I just want synaptic to work correctly and it won't because that stupid package is in a "bad state"
[05:01] <Xenguy> bruenig: true
[05:01] <Oly> corvette: try the alternate cd
[05:01] <theilliniguy> ok
[05:01] <Taime1> corvette, try this boot option: acpi=off
[05:02] <Taime1> or yeah, there's that
[05:02] <Taime1> haha
[05:02] <bef> corevette; possibly the livecd has a fault, why don't you try a respin or rewriting it?
[05:02] <di||itante> Blinocac200sx, yes but to remove it it needs to be correctly installed first
[05:02] <corevette> taime1...i put in root=linux acpi=off     and it didn't work
[05:02] <theilliniguy> nuther question how can I get WPA added to wireless properties?
[05:02] <Oly> bah. Ya now someone?? anyone?  What do i do to get around this error 15 when grub loads
[05:02] <bruenig> Blinocac200sx, can you get a deb of that package and dpkg -i it?
[05:02] <Xenguy> bruenig: and actually one of the reasons I installed etch :-)
[05:02] <corevette> yup i've done that three times bef
[05:02] <Taime1> i see
[05:02] <Taime1> well yeah, the alternative cd never failed me
[05:02] <bruenig> !patience | Oly
[05:02] <ubotu> Oly: The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[05:02] <Blinocac200sx> so I have tgo format my hdd
[05:02] <bef> corevette; have you run previous versions of ubuntu or debian?
[05:03] <dimeo> whats up ppl!
[05:03] <ericj2190> can anyone help me fully uninstall and reinstall vsftp, so that it creates the ftp user and its config files? i removed it with apt-get, but when i reinstall it it does not reconfigure itself.
[05:03] <theilliniguy> bruenig - thought so thx
[05:03] <Oly> Lol. kay. thought uu forgot about me now
[05:03] <corevette> i've run ubuntu edgy eft with the same specs before
[05:03] <Oly> =/
[05:03] <corevette> bef
[05:03] <Blinocac200sx> crap this sucks
[05:03] <Blinocac200sx> I have files on here
[05:03] <bruenig> ericj2190, you need to delete the config files, figure out where they are, my bet is that they are in the home directory
[05:03] <rellik_> I reinstalled gnome-terminal, but it still silently fails to open..  is there a log file or something I can check?
[05:03] <Xenguy> ericj2190: keywords = purge reinstall
[05:03] <JPMaximilian> theilliniguy: i found 6.10 to be much snappier
[05:03] <di||itante> Blinocac200sx, your freaking out, did you do what i suggested
[05:03] <Blinocac200sx> Yes
[05:03] <Blinocac200sx> and it took me back to where I started
[05:03] <arrenlex> Oly: When grub loads, press 'e' to edit the commands before you boot. Change the filenames to point to the correct files.
[05:04] <bef> corevette; hmm.. so your master/slave hdd-cdrom settings havent changed since your last install?, with debian its sometimes very important :o
[05:04] <ericj2190> xenguy: i deleteted the vsftpd.conf file
[05:04] <j1p> I'm having trouble with sound in CS 1.6 under wine, anyone have any ideas?
[05:04] <Xenguy> rellik_: something is messed up - you should totally be able to install gnome-terminal
[05:04] <Blinocac200sx> it said to run the apt-get -f install
[05:04] <di||itante> Blinocac200sx, did it say you installed it correctly
[05:04] <corevette> actually yes they have changed....my hdd bef
[05:04] <Blinocac200sx> no
[05:04] <frogzoo> corevette: well then, you didn't do the edit right
[05:04] <Oly> arrenlex:   Ubuntu isn't really installed....
[05:04] <rellik_> Xenguy, it installed without a problem..  it just won't open
[05:04] <theilliniguy> JPMaximilian how do I upgrade the whole system?
[05:04] <arrenlex> Oly: Then boot Windows.
[05:04] <Oly> not existent
[05:04] <corevette> frogzoo what should i put....the whole thing of what i should add
[05:05] <Xenguy> ericj2190: you can 'purge' with dpkg or apt-get; then reinstall (I think there is an apt-get option for this also)
[05:05] <Oly> i reformated but it got caught inbetween the installation.
[05:05] <arrenlex> Oly: Then what exactly are you trying to boot?
[05:05] <JPMaximilian> theilliniguy: you mean without doing a clean install?
[05:05] <bef> corevette; alright i think you need to ensure that the HDD is the master and if that doesn't work, I'm very sorry that I don't know how to help you :(
[05:05] <frogzoo> corevette: just at the end of the line, add 'acpi=off'
[05:05] <Oly> the installation cd . but its stuck ont he screen with grub erro15
[05:05] <theilliniguy> JPMaximilian ya - can it be done over 6.06?
[05:05] <corevette> nothing else frogzoo?
[05:05] <Xenguy> rellik_: if gnome-terminal won't open then your installation is suspect IMHO :-)
[05:05] <frogzoo> corevette: nope, then hit return & it should try to boot
[05:05] <tom47> Oly for an explanation of what error 15 is ... http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/grub-error-guide.xml?style=printable
[05:05] <corevette> alright i'll try again frogzoo
[05:05] <Oly> Sweet
[05:06] <JPMaximilian> theilliniguy: i would think so, i'm a fan of clean installs myself, but i'll see if i can find some documentation
[05:06] <theilliniguy> anone  how can I get WPA added to wireless properties?
[05:06] <rellik_> Xenguy, I'm thinking it has something to do with the fact I just got xinerama working..  that's the only thing I've changed recently
[05:06] <frogzoo> !wifi | theilliniguy
[05:06] <ubotu> theilliniguy: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:06] <JPMaximilian> theilliniguy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades
[05:06] <Blinocac200sx> well I'd love a clean install, but aparentlly edgy doesn't do that
[05:07] <theilliniguy> JPMaximilian ok thx
[05:07] <bruenig> Blinocac200sx, edgy doesn't do that?
[05:07] <theilliniguy> JPMaximilian thx
[05:07] <Blinocac200sx> Well if it did I wouldn't be having trouble would I?
[05:07] <bruenig> Blinocac200sx, it absolute does fresh install. Get the edgy install cd, format and go.
[05:07] <Blinocac200sx> so what do I do when a package won't reinstall and won't remove
[05:07] <arsentop> surely a clean install would be whatever edgy gives you :p
[05:07] <JPMaximilian> you can clean install 6.10
[05:08] <JPMaximilian> to say otherwise is absurd
[05:08] <erpo> How do I permanently block a particular package from being updated?
[05:08] <Xenguy> rellik_: could be a clue, I don't know
[05:08] <bruenig> apt-pinning
[05:08] <ericj2190> xenguy: thanks, dpkg purge worked
[05:08] <Blinocac200sx> thats what I said a few lines back and somebody told me I was just fraking out
[05:08] <Xenguy> ericj2190: yay :-)
[05:09] <cmweb> Is their any internet filter that will not only work for my computer but also the clients on my network? I want to block certain types of content
[05:09] <bruenig> web nazi
[05:09] <bef> bbs.
[05:09] <Xenguy> bruenig: already /ignored ;-)
[05:10] <Fatal1ty92i> hello
[05:10] <riotkittie> doh. i totally forgot to try to get my printer working when i was at the desktop with the live cd.
[05:10] <Xenguy> tonyyarusso: no sh*t you got ops - way to go
[05:10] <j1p> I am getting no sound at all in Counterstrike 1.6 under wine 0.9.29, I have it set to use the OSS driver, other than that this is a pretty much clean Edgy install, is there anything I need to do?
[05:11] <kalosaurusre1> how do i make ssh/vnc and so forth start at boot so i can have a headless system?\
[05:11] <Pelo> j1p,  go and ask the lovely ppl in #winehq
[05:11] <Iver2435> I thought that the install process for sshd added it to the startup procedure
[05:12] <erpo> cmweb: I don't know. If you find a blocking proxy, you can make it transparent by chaining it with a transparent proxy. But blocking proxies are not effective. People will find ways around them. Better to log everything your employees look at. Logging is more effective than blocking.
[05:12] <riotkittie> Iver2435: it does. or, at least it did for me
[05:12] <arsentop> j1p checked all sound levels are up etc (not muted) check the default devices are OSS if you're using oss.
[05:12] <kalosaurusre1> Iver2435: i wish..it's not starting until i login.. lame..hehe
[05:12] <fonkmaster> Wheres a good tutorial for dual booting ubuntu on mac osx
[05:12] <fonkmaster> ?
[05:12] <JPMaximilian> erpo: in synaptic, you click on a package, then click on "package" at the top of the window and click "Lock Version"
[05:12] <corevette> frogzoo..it still doesn't work
[05:13] <di||itante> Blinocac200sx, i only said that because you were suggesting a reinstall because a package was broken, which by itself in an absurd reason to reinstall your entire os
[05:13] <Oly> ALright. That page didn't help at al. there is no press to continuee or anything its locked
[05:13] <fatbrain> hrm, is there a road-map for ubuntu development?
[05:13] <Oly> this bios really suck. Old crap. =/
[05:13] <kalosaurusre1> anyone? any ideas?
[05:13] <_`XeOn_> !automatix
[05:13] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use.

[05:13] <fatbrain> was browsing the website, but apparently my webbrowser remoevd that link

[05:14] <fonkmaster> --pax--
[05:14] <Iver2435> fatbrain, there is a ubuntu weekly newletter detailing development plans for Feisty....
[05:14] <di||itante> cmweb, i use "dans guardian" at my house and it does ok
[05:14] <fatbrain> surely there must be one somewhere on their website, atleast there used to be

[05:15] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.

[05:16] <cmweb> erop, i got clients that will go to a lot of "trash" sites and when they do they download viruses, that gets into the network and screws us up bad. The last time took me a week to isolate
[05:16] <Vom> Yeeeeey!
[05:16] <Vom> Ubuntu running fine :-)
[05:16] <foo> Aforums
[05:17] <Iver2435> kalosaurusre1, do one of two things...
[05:17] <theilliniguy> Update to 6.10 seemed pretty easy/straightforward but got this error after getting files - Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper-security/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2)
[05:17] <foo> I changed the hostname in /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts... but I do sudo su - and get: sudo: unable to lookup ubuntu via gethostbyname() - what did I miss?
[05:17] <roaet> Hello,
[05:17] <corevette> do they already have a windows based installer for ubuntu?
[05:17] <JPMaximilian> theilliniguy: just try running the updates again probly
[05:18] <endo602> hey there
[05:18] <JPMaximilian> corevette: you mean within windows?
[05:18] <wastrel> corevette:  you mean an installer that is graphical?  or that runs on microsoft windows?
[05:18] <roaet> I did the upgrade and lost all my standard C man pages, how do I get them back?
[05:18] <Iver2435> I think they are working on one, but I have not heard of an official release as of yet
[05:18] <corevette> yes jpmaximilian
[05:18] <endo602> I installed the drivers for my logitech webcam
[05:18] <wastrel> roaet:  manpages-dev
[05:18] <theilliniguy> JPMaximilian did try 3 times same error all 3 - also reads - A problem occured during the update. This is usually some sort of network problem, please check your network connection and retry.
[05:18] <endo602> as said in the forums
[05:18] <cmweb> dans guardian, what repository is it in
[05:18] <tonyyarusso> corevette: Someone put a thing together, but I would not recommend it.  There's no reason for such things anyway - the Ubuntu installers are quite straightforward.
[05:18] <endo602> but i cant seem to get the picture working.  The light goes on but no picture
[05:18] <corevette> wastrel....so you can install ubuntu while you are in xp
[05:19] <corevette> tonyyarusso...i can't get the livecd to boot
[05:19] <tonyyarusso> !alternate | corevette
[05:19] <ubotu> corevette: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.
[05:19] <tonyyarusso> corevette: Then that is your safe choice.
[05:19] <fatbrain> I have to say the ubuntu website is far than regular
[05:19] <JPMaximilian> corevette: did you set the cd in the boot order of your bios?
[05:19] <roaet> In addition, when I run aptitude or the system update or apt-get, there is a task that keeps running that always fails. Is there some way that I can make the task stop runing.
[05:19] <fatbrain> where have they hidden the beta-downloads?!
[05:19] <host_> !ntfs
[05:19] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions. For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[05:19] <tonyyarusso> fatbrain: for?
[05:19] <fatbrain> 7.xxx download
[05:19] <corevette> yes jpmaximilian....and i can get to the ubuntu logo...but the progress bar eventually freezes
[05:20] <tonyyarusso> !feisty | fatbrain
[05:20] <ubotu> fatbrain: The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn"), it should be released in April 2007. At the moment it is alpha.

[05:20] <corevette> where do i get it tonyyarusso
[05:20] <foo> the user@hostname in a terminal still has the old hostname...
[05:20] <foo> I think that's the problem
[05:20] <JPMaximilian> corevette: how much memory do you have on your comp
[05:20] <fatbrain> thanks
[05:20] <corevette> jpmaximilian 1.5 gigs
[05:20] <JPMaximilian> corevette: well i'm out of ideas
[05:20] <tonyyarusso> corevette: Same place you downloaded the other disk.  I'm assuming that your issue is during load, not bios boot order.  is that correct?
[05:20] <JPMaximilian> corevette: i guess you could still try the alt-cd, but sounds like its something else
[05:20] <theilliniguy> JPMaximilian but my network connection seems fine..?
[05:21] <Vom> Where can I find more info about fglrx ?
[05:21] <JPMaximilian> theilliniguy: i don't know, maybe the its on the other side
[05:21] <dimeo> whats the big change that feistys gonna have?
[05:21] <corevette> jpmaximilian and tonyyarusso do you think other distros would have this problem? truthfully here
[05:21] <JPMaximilian> Vom: ubuntu.com/support
[05:21] <cmweb> dans guardian, is downloading and it looks to be exactly what im loking for thanks!
[05:22] <Vom> Thanks JP
[05:22] <theilliniguy> JPMaximilian ok i can try later - thx for the help
[05:22] <JPMaximilian> corevette: it could be hardware, maybe you have bad memory, maybe the iso you downloaded is bad
[05:22] <tonyyarusso> corevette: say again what's happening?
[05:23] <corevette> tonyyarusso...the live cd options come up, i choose start/install and when the ubuntu logo comes up with the progress bar...the progress bar eventually freezes and just stays that way
[05:23] <tonyyarusso> corevette: Have you tried the "check CD integrity" option yet?
[05:23] <JPMaximilian> corevette: and try running a memory test overnight too
[05:24] <corevette> well tonyyarusso i can't even boot to that
[05:24] <corevette> jpmaximilian so if the memory test fails....what does that mean
[05:24] <JPMaximilian> corvette: you have bad memory
[05:24] <roaet> thanks.
[05:24] <Vom> Corevette which videocard do you have?
[05:24] <JPMaximilian> corvette: the live-cd is trying to load "stuff" into your memory and because the memory is bad, lockups occur
[05:25] <corevette> vom radeon x1300
[05:25] <Vom> Thought so.
[05:25] <tonyyarusso> corevette: So you get to the options, but no matter what you select it can't go forward?
[05:25] <Vom> I got x800, and I had the exact same proplem.
[05:25] <corevette> vom ati...i know
[05:25] <Vom> Only thing what worked was to download the alternative cd
[05:25] <erpo> Thanks all. Got it!
[05:25] <corevette> tonyyarusso and jpmaximilian vom says its the ati card
[05:25] <corevette> where do you get it vom
[05:25] <Vom> www.ubuntu.com
[05:25] <shatrat> same place as you got the other one
[05:25] <Vom> Yup.
[05:26] <Eldrani> I'm having a few more errors which trying to get Ubuntu installed.
[05:26] <maddash> tonyyarusso: so, have you gotten the aiglx working yet?
[05:26] <corevette> vom is it easy to install
[05:26] <Vom> corevette what is ?
[05:26] <corevette> vom the installer
[05:26] <rellik_> any ideas why gnome-terminal silently fails when I try to open it?
[05:26] <Vom> So you've installed already?
[05:26] <tonyyarusso> maddash: Kind of.  I got it to work, but it crashes about twice daily.
[05:26] <JPMaximilian> Eldrani: like what?
[05:26] <Eldrani> This is the third time I've put the installer on a disk, and I keep failing the Integrity check
[05:26] <corevette> vom is the alternate cd installer easy to use? or is it the same thing? text interface? what
[05:26] <JPMaximilian> Eldrani: try downloading the iso again
[05:26] <Eldrani> I can't seem to erase ubuntu from the disks either.
[05:27] <Vom> Ahh
[05:27] <Vom> Its almost the same.
[05:27] <Eldrani> I have downlaoded it, twice.
[05:27] <wastrel> hi
[05:27] <corevette> vom okay...so i'll try taht
[05:27] <Eldrani> I tried erasing Ubuntu from one of my disks, and it totally corrupted it.
[05:27] <Eldrani> I'm running out of disks. xP
[05:27] <Vom> Yup, dont hesitate asking me again if you have proplems :b Im a darn newb with these things but i'd love to help people
[05:27] <maddash> eldrani how'd that happen?
[05:27] <JPMaximilian> you tired erasing ubuntu from your hard drive and it corrupting the harddrive?
[05:27] <tom47> Eldrani are you using bittorrent to do your downloads?
[05:28] <Vom> corevette oh by the way
[05:28] <Eldrani> Tried to erase it using Infra Recorder, totally froze up and corrupted it
[05:28] <Eldrani> No I'm using a mirror on the 6.10 release.
[05:28] <corevette> yes vom
[05:28] <tom47> Eldrani then get it via bitorrent and at least the download will be error free
[05:29] <Eldrani> What do you mean?
[05:29] <Vom> corevette: nothing, i just thought about using the non graphical on the normal cd but i tried that :b
[05:29] <_`XeOn_> help plz i cant watch wmv online
[05:29] <shatrat> _`XeOn_: !restrictedformats
[05:29] <Vom> Think I need to reboot in a mom :-o
[05:30] <shatrat> dyslexic
[05:30] <Eldrani> I'm not having errors with the ISO itself, I don't believe.
[05:30] <Eldrani> The hash codes match up correctly.
[05:30] <Eldrani> It's the burning part that's screwing me over.
[05:30] <shatrat> Eldrani: Burn at a slow speed?
[05:30] <Pie-rate> i just got a dual core processor, i expected it would be better at multitasking but it isn't, how do i make sure linux is using it properly?
[05:31] <tom47> Eldrani i will give you a url .... if you use bittorrent raher than fpe then you get a validated iso
[05:31] <Zchild> does anybody know of a Linux email app that'll interact with M$ exchange?
[05:31] <shatrat> Pie-rate:  type cat /proc/cpuinfo
[05:31] <mwalsh> how do you make yourself root?
[05:31] <Eldrani> Why would they offer unvalidated ISOs on their mirrors as opposed to their torrents?
[05:31] <cmweb> I have a Game Essentials Game Pad, how do i install it? (it has not one but two joy sticks, 8 Buttons, Directional pad, Start, Select, Esc, Enter, and Mouse Buttons)
[05:31] <tonyyarusso> !root | mwalsh
[05:31] <shatrat> Pie-rate: you should have a processor 0 and a processor 1
[05:31] <ubotu> mwalsh: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[05:32] <Pie-rate> shatrat: no, i don't.
[05:32] <cmweb> i meant and acks as a mouse
[05:32] <shatrat> Pie-rate: what do you get when you enter "uname -r"
[05:32] <Pie-rate> 2.6.17-10-386
[05:33] <shatrat> Pie-rate: thats the problem. What distro are you on? Dapper, edgy?
[05:33] <Eldrani> When I'm trying to reburn my install disk, can I just burn over the existing files, or do I gotta clean it off? I've tried cleaning it off, no good. :/
[05:33] <tom47> Eldrani http://ubuntu-releases.cs.umn.edu/edgy/
[05:33] <rellik_> update: gnome-terminal won't open..  it fails with this error message: http://pastebin.com/866741
[05:33] <shatrat> Eldrani: Unless its a CD-RW (which cost more) you have to get a new disk
[05:34] <rellik_> any ideas?
[05:34] <JPMaximilian> Eldrani: once you burn an iso to a CD-R you can't burn over it
[05:34] <Pie-rate> shatrat: edgy
[05:34] <tom47> and go down and get one of the files ending in .torrent
[05:34] <ZellSF> can oss play sounds from two different sources at the same time?
[05:34] <cmweb> !gamepad
[05:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gamepad - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:34] <Eldrani> I'm using an RW
[05:34] <shatrat> Pie-rate: You need to install and use the -generic kernel
[05:34] <Eldrani> Thanks for the link, btw.
[05:34] <Eldrani> Downloading now.
[05:34] <shatrat> Pie-rate: the generic one automagically detects hyperthreading and SMP
[05:35] <tom47> eldrani select one of the files ending in .torrent
[05:35] <quique-> hello everybody
[05:35] <Eldrani> Okay
[05:35] <quique-> hi mako,how are u ?
[05:35] <cmweb> !joystick
[05:35] <Pie-rate> shatrat: ok, how do i make grub default to booting that one?
[05:35] <ubotu> joystick: Testing and calibration tools. In component universe, is extra. Version 20051019-1ubuntu2 (edgy), package size 13 kB, installed size 76 kB
[05:36] <Eldrani> What's the difference between to the normal one and the torrent one? How is one "vaildated"?
[05:36] <shatrat> Pie-rate: Once you make sure it works ok and everything, you can just delete the entries for the -386 or copy and paste the -generic one to the top of the list.
[05:36] <cmweb> Any one have any clue?
[05:36] <shatrat> Pie-rate: in the /boot/grub/menu.lst I mean
[05:36] <tom47> eldrani the bittorrent process is self validating
[05:36] <vom> Heh, 200 megabytes of updates imediately :-)
[05:36] <tom47> eldrani but ftp is not
[05:36] <Eldrani> Okay.
[05:37] <Eldrani> I just finished burning the one I had going...
[05:37] <Eldrani> Wish me luck...
[05:37] <shatrat> Eldrani: Good luck
[05:37] <Eldrani> brb, reboot time
[05:37] <tHeDuDe> Anyone looking forward to a particular new feature / bug fix in Feisty?
[05:37] <kalifornia909> hello everyone
[05:37] <cmweb> How do i install a joy stick
[05:38] <kalifornia909> has anyone installed raid from the alternate cd
[05:38] <erpo> cmweb: No idea.
[05:39] <frogzoo> tHeDuDe: stable beryl out of the box will be very popular
[05:39] <tHeDuDe> "Yes / No / Maybe"
[05:39] <tHeDuDe> Yeah, they are using some other alternative 3D, right?
[05:40] <tHeDuDe> And turning it on by default?
[05:40] <tHeDuDe> Assuming your hardware supports it.
[05:40] <tom47> no
[05:40] <tom47> maybe
[05:40] <cmweb> !gamecontroller
[05:40] <frogzoo> tHeDuDe: beryl will be default? hmmm...
[05:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gamecontroller - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:40] <tHeDuDe> Read that somewhere on their site.
[05:40] <tHeDuDe> Not Beryl...
[05:41] <frogzoo> tHeDuDe: xgl/aiglx ?
[05:41] <Eldrani> Darn it all! That was my fourth CD-RW!
[05:41] <tHeDuDe> Yeah.
[05:41] <shatrat> aiglx is already in edgy, kind of
[05:41] <shatrat> you have to have the nvidia drivers to use it, but its in xorg
[05:41] <Winter-1> when i run gaim in the terminal i get this GTK Accessibility Module initialized
[05:41] <Winter-1> Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[05:41] <erpo> Winter-1: Lame. Get a backtrace.
[05:41] <Winter-1> i reinstalled gaim and same problem
[05:42] <Eldrani> It doesn't even say that anything is on the disk!
[05:42] <shatrat> Pie-rate: So, 0 and 1 now?
[05:42] <kalifornia909> !raid
[05:42] <ubotu> Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[05:42] <Pie-rate> shatrat: nvidia drivers don't work with the generic ones. are you sure there's no way to get it to work with the 386 one?
[05:42] <tom47> Eldrani: reburning an error filled iso will do that
[05:42] <shatrat> Pie-rate: You just have to reinstall them
[05:42] <cmweb> What is raid
[05:42] <vom> Yup, im off to sleep.   You can leave your xorg.conf the way you had it and everything though
[05:43] <cmweb> im taking on a lot of Bw right now
[05:43] <Taime1> how do i set up my router? can i simply plug it in and it should work? like my cable modem?
[05:43] <shatrat> Pie-rate: all you really need is to do run their installer script
[05:44] <cmweb> Raid = Massive storage?
[05:44] <erpo> Taime1: If by router you mean home broadband gateway, then the answer is quite possibly. Try it.
[05:44] <eggs> hello? is this where i can come for some help?
[05:44] <shatrat> You can get massive storage just by using a bunch of disks. Raid is for speed and redundancy
[05:44] <mwalsh> yes
[05:44] <erpo> eggs: Yes.
[05:44] <Winter-1> meh still dont work
[05:44] <mwalsh> Hey guys um according to Ubuntu I dont have permissions to write to any of my ntfs hard drives, how can  i fix this?
[05:44] <eggs> i have a question about getting my video card drivers so i can get open gl working
[05:44] <timo> bye all
[05:44] <Atomiku> How can I start the vnc server through terminal?
[05:45] <Eldrani> Damn, that just totally screwed me over!
[05:45] <user01> is ubuntu going to go to ice weasel for feisty?
[05:45] <erpo> mwalsh: Read the ntfs-3g howto.
[05:45] <Pie-rate> shatrat: are the current nvidia drivers in the ubuntu repo 9746?
[05:45] <mwalsh> erpo: link?
[05:45] <eggs> every time i follow directions off of a website my xorg crashes
[05:45] <riotkittie> !ntfs-3g | mwalsh
[05:45] <ubotu> mwalsh: ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution. Installation instructions at http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710 (Dapper) and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009/ (Edgy)
[05:45] <shatrat> Pie-rate: no.  There is another repo that has those though.
[05:45] <frogzoo> user01: wtf is ice weasel?
[05:45] <tonyyarusso> ubotu: hasn't yet
[05:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hasn't yet - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:45] <Eldrani> How do I format RWs? They won't even load!
[05:45] <tonyyarusso> user01: hasn't yet
[05:45] <Pie-rate> frogzoo: a fork of firefox used by debian, i believe
[05:45] <Atomiku> !vnc
[05:45] <mwalsh> thanks mates:) more questions later.
[05:45] <ubotu> VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX
[05:45] <shatrat> Pie-rate: its linked in the Beryl Edgy how to on the ubuntu document storage porject
[05:46] <cmweb> is their a walk through to install Samba and get it working so that every one can see every one?
[05:46] <frogzoo> Pie-rate: ah, k thx
[05:46] <user01> tonyyarusso: ok thanks
[05:46] <Pie-rate> shatrat: yeah.
[05:46] <BHSPitLappy> yo
[05:46] <eggs> i am using a ubuntu 6.06 lts
[05:46] <frogzoo> !samba | cmweb
[05:46] <ubotu> cmweb: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[05:46] <BHSPitLappy> I'm trying to recover GRUB, but none of my LiveCDs can see the drive's partitions
[05:46] <BHSPitLappy> the list is empty
[05:47] <cmweb> ive done that but it does not work like i hoped. I want all my windows clients to be able to see my shares
[05:47] <cmweb> but they cant
[05:47] <kbrosnan> frogzoo: Pie-rate is correct it is the debian fork of Firefox without any trademark restrictions. There is also a gnu project of the same name, I don't know if the two are now working in concert.
[05:47] <tom47> BHSPitLappy: have you tried mounting any of them?
[05:47] <cmweb> although i can see theirs
[05:47] <user01> tonyyarusso: i was wondering cause i just installed debian and it looked almost exactly like ubuntu except there was iceweasel instead of firefox
[05:47] <BHSPitLappy> tom47, I'm talking about partitioners.
[05:47] <BHSPitLappy> parted...
[05:47] <Carutsu> hello
[05:47] <eggs> anyone?
[05:48] <BHSPitLappy> it's a Dell, by the way
[05:48] <Taime1> one other question: is there a command similar to "ipconfig" in windows that tells me the ip address of my router?
[05:48] <tom47> oh
[05:48] <aleka> I have a problem that has started about two weeks or so... When I play video, [have tried mplayer,totem,xine,VLC,Real]  and different formats[avi,mov.mpeg,wmv,dvd]  the picture I am getting from these players is too bright to a point where I can not see anything.. Is this a problem with Xorg settings??
[05:48] <Carutsu> i installed Thunderbird and i want to make it work with hotmail, but for some reason i install webmail, but i cannot configure my webmail account
[05:48] <shatrat> aleka: is it only video?
[05:48] <maikol> how can i find the amount of time it takes to boot my machine
[05:49] <aleka> shatrat: everything else on the desktop is ok, no brightness, pictures are fine as well
[05:49] <quinnster> I'm running Ubuntu 6.10, but would like to add the new XFCE 4.4 as an option.  I know there is a separate Xubuntu, but how hard would it be to have both available as... sessions(?)...  Thanks.
[05:49] <Carutsu> if i run thunderbird as a root i can... so i think are permisions problems, but i cannot figure what to do (i tried changing the /etc/mozlla-thunderbird permisions but didnt work)
[05:49] <shatrat> aleka: What video drivers do you have? I know the nvidia ones have special settings for video.
[05:49] <nrdb> Hi I have a laptop I am trying to connect to the internet, It phone the ISP etc. creates the ppp0 interface, the route defaults to ppp0, but I can't do any pings ether to a URL or an IP address. can anyone help ?
[05:49] <aleka> I have an Intel shatrat
[05:50] <tonyyarusso> nrdb: Are you trying to connect graphically or by a command?
[05:50] <aleka>  VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G] /GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)
[05:50] <riotkittie> how new is XFCE 4.4 -  to new for the edgy repos?
[05:50] <Carutsu> any thoughs?
[05:50] <riotkittie> err too.
[05:50] <nrdb> tonyyarusso: I am using vwdial to connect.
[05:50] <quinnster> Fairly new.  4.2 is what Slackware 11 is using.
[05:50] <shatrat> aleka: I dont know anything about those.  Thats a pretty common chipset though, hoipefully if you search around someone else has had that problem and knows how to fix it
[05:51] <erpo> Do mplayer and ffmpeg use the same backend?
[05:51] <riotkittie> ah. i think i have 4.4 on zen 4.2 but i am not sure
[05:51] <Pie-rate> shatrat: so sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx? or do i need to linux-restricted-modules?
[05:51] <ouroboros> So hello channel!  :)
[05:51] <quinnster> However, DreamLinux is using it already.
[05:51] <quinnster> riotkittie, yeah I think so.
[05:51] <quinnster> Do you like it?
[05:51] <tonyyarusso> nrdb: Could you pastebin its output?
[05:51] <aleka> shatrat: what keywords should I be using? I know it is not a media player issue, am not using any compositing engines...what should I look for?
[05:51] <tom47> BHSPitLappy: try this in a terminal window sudo parted /dev/hda print
[05:51] <tonyyarusso> nrdb: You're sure the hardware is being driven in a working fashion?
[05:51] <riotkittie> quinnster: it's alright, i guess, but i'm really not a fan of XFCE
[05:52] <shatrat> Pie-rate: I dont know, I always install my drivers from the nvidia installer.
[05:52] <Taime1> one other question: is there a command similar to "ipconfig" in windows that tells me the ip address of my router?
[05:52] <Pie-rate> shatrat: k
[05:52] <cmweb> What all does VNC do, can it do Windows authorizing? To where they login to my system and transfer files to their computer and then back when they shut down?
[05:52] <ouroboros> I have installed a new DVD burner, a Liteon SHW-160P6S and it seems to work, but dvds play very jumpy and dvd:rip locks up.  I have turned dma on.
[05:52] <riotkittie> Taime1: ifconfig
[05:52] <shatrat> aleka: I think its probably specific to your intel graphics, intel graphics too bright ubuntu linux that sort of stuff.
[05:52] <nrdb> tonyyarusso: If the hardware wan't wouldn't it have trouble sending the name/password to log in ?
[05:53] <quinnster> riotkittie: Yeah, I wasn't a fan of Gnome until I started using Ubuntu.  Now it's my #1.  I would like to be able to use XFCE from time to time--hopefully as a session.
[05:53] <riotkittie> no wait. ifconfig might not work for that. ehhh.
[05:53] <tom47> cmweb nx is a good alternative if you want to do things with gui ;like that
[05:53] <Taime1> it doesnt
[05:53] <nrdb> tonyyarusso: I can't pastebin the output as that computer isn't on the internet.
[05:53] <Taime1> just tells me my inet addy
[05:53] <ouroboros> dmesg shows several:    cdrom_decode_status: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
[05:53] <eggs> every time i edit ( or my xorg.conf file is edited) to say nvidia instead of nv my xorg crashes
[05:53] <tonyyarusso> nrdb: Doh.  Sorry. :P
[05:53] <tonyyarusso> nrdb: Tell me the last line or two then
[05:53] <cmweb> !nx
[05:53] <ubotu> FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX
[05:53] <nrdb> tonyyarusso: hang on a sec.
[05:54] <ouroboros> And oddly, there is an unmounted icon for an extra disc drive on my nifty gnome mounter applet.
[05:54] <tonyyarusso> nrdb: Yes, it would most likely.  Unless the hardware is "kinda" working
[05:55] <cmweb> ok here is what i want to acheave. When they turn the computer on it will go to a dialog box asking then the user and password. That is sent to my computer for verifacation and if correct it sends the users file to the computer then the pc uses it. Upon shut down it send the folder back in write mode so that it saves their work, and saves HDD space.
[05:55] <Carutsu> i installed Thunderbird and i want to make it work with hotmail, but for some reason i install webmail, but i cannot configure my webmail account.... if i run thunderbird as a root i can... so i think are permisions problems, but i cannot figure what to do (i tried changing the /etc/mozlla-thunderbird permisions but didnt work)

[05:59] <Atomiku> mwalsh: Reinstall ubuntu
[05:59] <riotkittie> ooh. beyond my league.
[05:59] <cmweb> ok here is what i want to acheave. When they turn the computer on it will go to a dialog box asking then the user and password. That is sent to my computer for verifacation and if correct it sends the users file to the computer then the pc uses it. Upon shut down it send the folder back in write mode so that it saves their work, and saves HDD space.   Error: your X configuration has been altered.

[06:01] <mwalsh> well can any of you actually help lol
[06:01] <riotkittie> vista. puke. :P
[06:01] <eggs> sorry sorry sorry
[06:01] <Atomiku> It sounds like somethings wrong with the computer though... if its sometimes not detecting the hardware
[06:01] <mwalsh> hey dude at least it works
[06:01] <mwalsh> no
[06:01] <mwalsh> thats not the cas
[06:01] <Atomiku> No?
[06:01] <shatrat> not really, no
[06:01] <mwalsh> the problem is obviously with ubuntu
[06:01] <tonyyarusso> nrdb: Is it actually giving x.x.x.x or did you change those?
[06:01] <riotkittie> vista works?
[06:01] <Atomiku> If you have tried reinstalling n stuff.... well...
[06:01] <eggs> so can you help me ?
[06:01] <mwalsh> yes, and so does xp
[06:01] <Atomiku> Have you tried windows or something?
[06:01] <mwalsh> duh
[06:01] <mwalsh> and it works perfectly
[06:01] <shatrat> the problem is the hal daemon
[06:01] <shatrat> and that usb headsets are trash
[06:01] <tHeDuDe> Those are some really odd issues.  Usually Ubuntu will at least boot up...
[06:02] <shatrat> I stand by my evaluation
[06:02] <nrdb> tonyyarusso: I changed those they appear to be correct to me.
[06:02] <mwalsh> well i am forced to shatrat because it wont recognize my nice sound card
[06:02] <tonyyarusso> nrdb: okay
[06:02] <tom47> mwalsh is it ony external hard drives that are intermittently recognised?
[06:02] <mwalsh> just ntfs ones
[06:02] <mikejanssen> any printer drivers for canon mp150 yet
[06:02] <mikejanssen> heh
[06:02] <mikejanssen> i have yet to find any
[06:02] <tonyyarusso> nrdb: Then that _should_ be normal output, if memory serves correctly.  You said you can't ping anything?  What about localhost?
[06:02] <wastrel> is there an app to edit .swf files ?
[06:02] <mwalsh> flashmx
[06:02] <riotkittie> if you truly believe Vista is guarenteed to be 100% trouble free...
[06:03] <ouroboros> Help!  I keep using hdparm to try to make my cdrom drive work better and the settings just keep going back by themselves!
[06:03] <mwalsh> ive used it
[06:03] <mwalsh> at least it recognizes my crap
[06:03] <riotkittie> is your soundcard showing in lspci ?
[06:03] <mwalsh> its much better at thaat then ubuntu
[06:03] <mikejanssen> mwalsh vista = bloated pos os
[06:03] <mwalsh> it says my sound card wont be supported till Q2 this year
[06:03] <tonyyarusso> Guys, Ubuntu support talk only here.  Vista etc. in #ubuntu-offtopic.
[06:03] <mikejanssen> xp on steroids
[06:03] <tom47> mwalsh are the internal hard drives reliably recognised?
[06:03] <eggs> sooo ?
[06:03] <mwalsh> ok mike know wat, if you can get ubuntu running like windows does, aka well, then ill agree with you
[06:03] <wastrel> linux lags in hw support. it's a fact.
[06:03] <nrdb> tonyyarusso: local host works fine
[06:03] <mwalsh> tom47: reliably? in wat way
[06:04] <wastrel> i'm bored of hearing about vista
[06:04] <mikejanssen> heh
[06:04] <shatrat> lol, you bought a soundblaster x-fi
[06:04] <mwalsh> im bored of hearing of ubuntu
[06:04] <shatrat> that explains why you also think vista is good
[06:04] <mikejanssen> im not having any troubles with ubuntu yet..just with my printer
[06:04] <mwalsh> shatrat, stop with the comments, you sound ignorant
[06:04] <mwalsh> i think my hardwares too new.
[06:04] <tom47> are they recoognised every time ... what i am trying to understand is it internal hard drives that are or are not intermittently recognised
[06:04] <shatrat> look whos talking
[06:04] <tonyyarusso> nrdb: and <IP_ADDRESS> gives?
[06:04] <riotkittie> boys, boys.
[06:04] <mwalsh> tom47: they are also intermittently recognized
[06:05] <tom47> mwalsh ok ty
[06:05] <mwalsh> shatrat shut your fanboy mouth, back up your statements

[06:08] <cmweb> Will nfs work ove windows as well
[06:08] <tom47> mwalsh i am thinking about it
[06:08] <shatrat> eggs: where did you install the nvidia driver from? It seems it isnt installed properly.
[06:08] <tom47> mwalsh but the intermittent bit i am afraid suggests to me a hardware issue
[06:08] <HymnToLife> cmweb, no, use Samba to share data with Windows
[06:09] <riotkittie> patience is a virtue
[06:09] <eggs> from synapitc package manager
[06:09] <tonyyarusso> nrdb: Just thought maybe a friend could lend one.  Anyway, does your ISP offer multiple phone numbers?  Do you also have Windows / MacOS, and if so, what happens with that?
[06:09] <shatrat> eggs: so right now you are using driver "nv"?
[06:09] <tonyyarusso> nrdb: Did you have to install a modem driver, or was it fine out of the box?
[06:09] <eggs> correct
[06:09] <tonyyarusso> nrdb: What did you use to set up the wvdial settings, etc?
[06:09] <tom47> mwalsh so onece again unyil we understand what thats about the other issues are non starters inho
[06:10] <shatrat> eggs: and if you change only that line to driver "nvidia" you can't start X?  Sounds like maybe you should use the LatestNvidia driver how to and reinstall
[06:11] <mwalsh> tom47: im moving back to windows, i dont care wat these people say, it just works better.
[06:11] <eggs> correct. i do ctrl alt backspace login change it restart x (restart computer) xorg crashes
[06:11] <riotkittie> goodbye.
[06:11] <shatrat> good riddance
[06:11] <tom47> mwalsh join #mwalsh
[06:12] <nrdb> tonyyarusso: I only know one number, I don't have another OS here at the moment, I am using an external modem connect via a USB->Serial converter, and it worked OK on the first try, I used the command 'wvdialconf' to setup the '/etc/wvdail.conf' the added the phone number etc.
[06:12] <eggs> i do what the support page says and what i read on the fourms
[06:12] <wastrel> <3 wvdial
[06:12] <eggs> every time :(
[06:12] <mwalsh> the how-to on the nvidia drivers doesnt work properly eggs
[06:12] <mwalsh> just wait till a real knowledgable perosn comes on theyll help you
[06:13] <riotkittie> have you tried googling for ubuntu and your specific hardware? or checking the forums?
[06:13] <eggs> i have been trying to get this working for the last 2 weeks
[06:13] <tonyyarusso> nrdb: When you say it worked OK on the first try, do you mean that wvdialconf reported no errors, or that you've been able to connect before?
[06:13] <tHeDuDe> Isn't there an open source nvidia driver?
[06:13] <mwalsh> eggs just go back to windows.
[06:13] <eggs> no way hosay
[06:13] <shatrat> eggs: Personally I use Method 2 from this page, http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Latest_Nvidia_Edgy , and my friend uses the repo linked in the driver part of this how-to and it works for him. http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/BerylOnEdgy
[06:13] <eggs> im on drapper
[06:14] <eggs> i tried the edgy one too
[06:14] <eggs> i have even re-installed ubuntu to see if maybe i got something wrong the first time
[06:15] <wastrel> is there an editor for .swf files available for linux?
[06:15] <tHeDuDe> Maybe don't install the binary driver
[06:15] <mwalsh> eggs. the OS just DOESNT WORK.
[06:15] <shatrat> eggs: oh, didnt know you were on dapper.  not sure how that effects the driver install process exactly, other than a different kernel version
[06:15] <shatrat> why is that kid still here?
[06:15] <eggs> mwalsh shhh please
[06:15] <riotkittie> mwalsh: if you find it that bad, why are you still here? if you dont like it, you dont like it and that's fine but please bash it elsewhere
[06:15] <tonyyarusso> mwalsh: Millions of people prove otherwise.  Please stop trolling or you will have to leave.
[06:15] <crimsun> mwalsh: my toaster doesn't work. Fix please.
[06:16] <eggs> if this was windows mwalsh i would be having to pay tons of money to microsoft for help
[06:16] <mwalsh> I am not trolling, or just saying "vista sux lol" after every comment.
[06:16] <riotkittie> and if you insist on bashing it, please stop seeking help to get it working. :P
[06:16] <HymnToLife> crimsun, install NetBSD on it :p

[06:16] <crimsun> HymnToLife: dang, I guess that's why the daemon is burning my toast.
[06:16] <eggs> anyway ... so you recommend i go to nvidia's site and get drivers from there ?
[06:16] <shatrat> just a kid wanting attention
[06:17] <nrdb> tonyyarusso: that wvdialconf found the modem and reported no errors, it did say that a rather fast connection was OK 460800 to the modem, the modem connected at 9600 to the internet, maybe I should slow that down a bit ?
[06:17] <HymnToLife> eggs, no
[06:17] <shatrat> eggs: I dont know if I recommend it, its a pain, but thats how I do it.

[06:18] <shatrat> tHeDuDe: the non nvidia one, nv, doesnt have 3D
[06:18] <Atomiku> Just trying to get FreeNX installed
[06:18] <eggs> i have tried using the one ubuntu gives me,  envy
[06:18] <eggs> i have tried legacy

[06:18] <eggs> envy killed my xorg
[06:18] <eggs> gforce fx 5600 ultra
[06:19] <shatrat> I think that's new enough that you dont need the legacy driver.
[06:19] <mwalsh> eh

[06:24] <mwalsh> eggs: but you dont have to spend weeks installing drivers
[06:25] <CorpseFeeder> What does this mean? The filename "NAME-DESKTOP" indicates that this file is of type "desktop configuration file". The contents of the file indicate that the file is of type "x-directory/smb-share". If you open this file, the file might present a security risk to your system. I can't work out how to browse with smb.
[06:25] <wastrel> primary domain controller  at a guess.  what is this samba?
[06:25] <cmweb> yes
[06:25] <eggs> but i like spending weeks on getting drivers working and a better performing machine than a less performing machine and already working drivers

[06:29] <CorpseFeeder> shatrat: it shows windows network icon, and if I click it, it then shows the workgroup name, and after that is a list of computers on the network.. but that is as far as I can get.

[06:29] <mwalsh> now its jsut like a trend.
[06:30] <joejaxx> Xcalibre: please watch the language
[06:30] <riotkittie> oh man.
[06:30] <Xcalibre> yeh
[06:30] <Xcalibre> i been waiting for help
[06:30] <theherbalizer> wow whats going on in here?
[06:30] <nrdb> tonyyarusso: thanks for trying
[06:30] <bef> If you're dead and still slightly warm, then sure.. but if you've gone cold then, no thanks  buddy.
[06:30] <tonyyarusso> nrdb: good luck
[06:30] <Xcalibre> friggen hell.
[06:30] <shatrat> CorpseFeeder: try hitting F5 to refresh it
[06:30] <shatrat> CorpseFeeder: I know it wont always let me explore the networked server the first time I click it
[06:30] <bef> CorpseFeeder sounds like the kind of person who would help you out there, Xcalibre ;) ;)
[06:30] <tHeDuDe> wastrel >> take a look at this: http://www.swftools.org/
[06:31] <Xcalibre> looks like CorpseFeeder needs help himself.
[06:31] <shatrat> I think bef meant with the "F me dead" part
[06:31] <CorpseFeeder> shatrat: refreshing doesn't help
[06:31] <Xcalibre> dw
[06:31] <Xcalibre> done
[06:32] <tonyyarusso> Xcalibre: Shouldn't the package name be apache2?  Not sure if it matters.
[06:32] <shatrat> CorpseFeeder: Does it give some kind of an error?
[06:32] <david_> Can anybody tell my why the avahi-daemon init script doesn't seem to work on my Edgy?  It prints nothing on "start", prints [fail]  on "stop", and doesn't start the daemon
[06:32] <CorpseFeeder> shatrat: yes.
[06:32] <shatrat> CorpseFeeder: Please elaborate sir.
[06:33] <wastrel> as i download yet another file from the web, i again curse the incredibly crappy design of the gnome file save dialogs
[06:33] <wastrel> it's almost as if they intentionally wanted it to be difficult to choose a destination directory
[06:33] <riotkittie> oh yea, those dialogues are hideous.
[06:34] <shatrat> CorpseFeeder: Could you post the error, or post a pastebin link if its more than a line or two
[06:34] <oldmanstan> does anyone have any idea what a process called "watchdog" is doing on my computer? root user owns it, i've never noticed it before today but it coulda been there all along
[06:34] <oldmanstan> it has no man page
[06:34] <CorpseFeeder> shatrat: elaboration is here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/2836/
[06:35] <mwalsh> sounds like keylogger/spyware
[06:35] <gecko_> hey all
[06:35] <mwalsh> howdy.
[06:35] <gecko_> ok.. when i change my sources.list from edgy to fiesty is there a reason that it wants me to upgrade from 6.10 to 6.10 again?
[06:35] <tonyyarusso> !info watchdog
[06:35] <ubotu> watchdog: software watchdog. In component universe, is extra. Version 5.2.6-2 (edgy), package size 57 kB, installed size 248 kB
[06:36] <mwalsh> gecko: no
[06:36] <mwalsh> gecko: ts because fiesty isnt out yet
[06:36] <mwalsh> its an imaginary upgrade
[06:36] <mwalsh> i would jsut keep the sources for edgy for now
[06:36] <tonyyarusso> gecko_: And you misspelled feisty
[06:36] <shatrat> CorpseFeeder: hold on a sec, thinking
[06:36] <gecko_> oh..that might be why then
[06:36] <kikabola> hello all
[06:37] <gecko_> tonyyarusso: i went by what i know in english  i before e except after C lol
[06:37] <kikabola> is there a way to notify a mirror that their files are corrupt?
[06:37] <oldmanstan> oh ok good, so it's a feature not a bad thing, thx
[06:37] <gecko_> there is a feisty 7.04 Alpha out..and u can upgrade to is mwalsh
[06:37] <tonyyarusso> gecko_: good point
[06:37] <gecko_> this*
[06:37] <mwalsh> gecko: so upgrade to it, otherwise dont use the source list... and i wuldnt use the alpha, hell 6.10 still doesnt work properly
[06:37] <tonyyarusso> gecko_: We can chat about alphas in #ubuntu+1 instead of here though, so nobody gets confused
[06:38] <IamEthos> okay
[06:38] <gecko_> ok.
[06:38] <jadacyrus> whats the difference between a metacity theme and a gtk2 theme?
[06:38] <shatrat> CorpseFeeder: It seems like you arent havent the same problem I had with samba.  I found a thread that seemed like your problem on the forums though.  Maybe something there that can help you.
[06:39] <CorpseFeeder> shatrat: it's entirely possible that I may have deleted something from my ubuntu system which it needs to use samba file sharing. This may be why it does not appear to know how to browse the other computers on the network, giving the error instead...
[06:39] <shatrat> CorpseFeeder:  you can try "sudo apt-get install samba smbfs"
[06:39] <Sk8aelf> anybody familiar with the LAMP portion of ubuntu server  would could answer a few question for me ?
[06:39] <Tomcat_> jadacyrus: afaik, gtk2 is the look&feel of buttons and the things inside the window... metacity defines window borders, window behavior...
[06:39] <jadacyrus> Tomcat_: thanks
[06:40] <tonyyarusso> Sk8aelf: maybe.  What kinds of questions?
[06:40] <HymnToLife> Sk8aelf, just ask, we'll answer if we can
[06:40] <_tcc> I am trying to install VmWare on my machine.
[06:40] <Sk8aelf> tonyy::  lamp is installed  static ip is set  phpmyadmin is loaded i can go right to the apache default page ... my trouble atm is how do i create mysql users thru the terminal
[06:41] <_tcc> The setup asks for a directory
[06:41] <_tcc> What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
[06:41] <_tcc> kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
[06:41] <_tcc> I am not sure where this is kept.
[06:41] <shatrat> _tcc: its in /usr/src/linux-headers-biglongversionnumber-version
[06:42] <tonyyarusso> Sk8aelf: I think it's something like mysql-adduser.  It's built into mysql, as a command similar to that at least.
[06:42] <HymnToLife> _tcc, /usr/src/$(uname -r)/include
[06:42] <tonyyarusso> _tcc: If you install either the full kernel source or kernel headers those sorts of things usually happen automatically, but you don't have them installed by default.
[06:42] <HymnToLife> linux-headers-$(uname -r), sorry
[06:42] <Sk8aelf> atm i cant even log into phpmyadmin ....   somewhere i missed the username/pw entry  durin the install ...  im tryin to not have to load a gui
[06:43] <_tcc> The path "/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.17/include" is a kernel header file
[06:43] <_tcc> directory, but it does not contain the file "linux/version.h" as expected.
[06:44] <crimsun> you need linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[06:44] <crimsun> not linux-source-2.6.17
[06:44] <_tcc> oh
[06:44] <shatrat> _tcc: I think you need /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.17-10-generic/include/linux
[06:45] <shatrat> _tcc: different version possibly.  Theres a version.h in there
[06:45] <wastrel> i am compiling a program
[06:45] <cmweb> Are their any sample logon.cmd scripts for samba or does it already include one
[06:48] <aleka> !freenx

[06:49] <axion_> hello...i have a question concerning the main repo
[06:50] <Sk8aelf> sooo anybody know the default username pw  for basic mysql lamp install ?  or have a link for me to read?
[06:50] <cmweb> where can i find a sample logon.cmd
[06:50] <axion_> i noticed thunar-0.8.0 is now in the main repo, but apt still wants to install 0.4.0svn after an update
[06:50] <mikejanssen> is there a way to get the terminal locked onto the desktop background?
[06:50] <mikejanssen> i wanna make my background awesomeness
[06:50] <dabaR> Sk8aelf: there is also a #mysql, but if you use mysql -u root, it will enter
[06:50] <mikejanssen> heh
[06:51] <boni_> Can anyone tell me that if I install something on my Dapper box and if the file contains the binary in /usr/bin and i want it to be displayed under applications how do i do it??
[06:51] <Pie-rate> are there any optimizations i can do for my dual core opteron? i don't care how complex and difficult they are, i'll do just about anything to get it running faster.
[06:51] <terapicodave> mikejanssen: what does it mean ... you want the terminal to be the background? or to be transparent?
[06:51] <Sk8aelf> dabaR  ::   ty =)
[06:51] <mikejanssen> transparent..on the background
[06:51] <mikejanssen> = X
[06:51] <dabaR> boni_: use the menu editor, it is under apps>accessories
[06:52] <terapicodave> mikejanssen: that's in the profiles in the menu for the terminal

[06:52] <dabaR> axion_: that is an answer to your question.
[06:52] <Dere2> hello?
[06:53] <axion_> ubotu: thanks...i tried feisty yesterday and got a kernel panic upon reboot so i didnt know what to do and reverted back until feisty is out of beta
[06:53] <boni_> dabaR and shatrat: Thanks let me try it out
[06:53] <dabaR> !hi > Dere2
[06:53] <Kristov> hi
[06:53] <shatrat> boni_: Youre welcome
[06:53] <Dere2> hi, how do you fix the issue where when you scroll it laggs/hello
[06:53] <dabaR> axion_: you can also compile the thunar, if you want, or use the edgy one(0.4.0)
[06:54] <HymnToLife> Dere2, install proper drivers for your graphics card
[06:54] <dabaR> Dere2: is this in a particular program, or everywhere?
[06:54] <sparr> how can i find out which files reside in the RAM half of a livecd+ram unionfs?
[06:54] <axion_> dabaR: i did try to compile it, but it needed newer libs than are in apt for edgy also...and i even tried doing them but they needed newer core linux libs so i gave up
[06:54] <aleka> I am trying to download freenx and trying to get the repo as recommended on the ubuntu page..http://free.linux.hp.com/~brett/seveas/freenx/. I can not see the entries for apt sources thou
[06:54] <Dere2> i have and ATI x1300 and i downloaded the drivers, but i dont now how to install them
[06:55] <dabaR> axion_: tough.
[06:55] <wastrel> sigh
[06:55] <HymnToLife> !ati | Dere2
[06:55] <ubotu> Dere2: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:55] <dabaR> what's up wastrel ?
[06:55] <Dere2> ok, thx
[06:55] <wastrel> dabaR:  linux is being bratty
[06:56] <Flannel> aleka: what?  you need to put that in your sources.list
[06:56] <aleka> dabaR: yes I visited that page and tht is where I got the link for the repo from
[06:56] <dabaR> aleka: do you use edgy?
[06:56] <aleka> Flannel: the page tells you the package is called [serverpackage]  "freenx" and there is no such thing under the current repo I have.. and I have enabled extrA REPOSITORIES
[06:57] <aleka> YES DABAR
[06:57] <aleka> sorry for the CAPS, mistake
[06:57] <Flannel> aleka: capslock ;)  pastebin your sources.list please
[06:58] <_`XeOn_> how do i mount a windows partition ?
[06:58] <aleka> Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/2837/
[06:58] <HymnToLife> !ntfs | _`XeOn_
[06:58] <ubotu> _`XeOn_: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions. For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[06:59] <HymnToLife> _`XeOn_, let me tell your your nick is a nightmare to tab-complete :p
[06:59] <_`XeOn_> lol
[06:59] <_`XeOn_> sorry about that
[06:59] <ssmasud> can anybody help me with the installation of NS2??
[06:59] <Flannel> aleka: you haven't added seveas's repo yet, you'll need to add it
[07:00] <dabaR> I can not find freenx in the edgy repos, only in the dapper ones:-/
[07:00] <Jaymz> why does apt-get remove gaim also prompt me to remove ubuntu-desktop
[07:00] <aleka> Flannel: that is my question.. I am at the page.. but can not see an entry that can go into the sources.list.. should I just assume and copy the url with proper formating as others in the list?
[07:00] <tonyyarusso> !ubuntu-desktop | Jaymz
[07:00] <ubotu> Jaymz: k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading.
[07:00] <dabaR> Jaymz: ubuntu-desktop is a list of dependencies of which gaim is one
[07:01] <Flannel> Jaymz: you only have "ubuntu-desktop" (the whole thing, including all parts) installed with GAIM installed, but it's only a meta package.
[07:01] <boni_> bazaR: I have successfully edited my menu.... Now could you tell me suppose I write a package which a user installs then if I want it executable to come under the menu then do I have to make links of my executable ???? I mean how do I automatically add it where do I need to make the links of my executable??
[07:01] <aleka> this is the link Seveas repo gives [http://free.linux.hp.com/~brett/seveas/freenx]
[07:01] <Jaymz> Thanks all :)
[07:02] <tarelerulz> You all should really check this out http://www.dgp.toronto.edu/~ravin/
[07:02] <Flannel> aleka: right, what are you confused about?
[07:02] <Flannel> tarelerulz: #ubuntu-offtopic is that way ==>
[07:02] <AmbientMst1> Hey, if I had an external hard drive hooked up while I was loading Ubuntu, would it (Ubuntu) detect the hd?
[07:03] <Marupa> Hi, I've got a USB video adapter, was wondering what the entries in dmesg mean...
[07:03] <dabaR> AmbientMst1: likely
[07:03] <dabaR> AmbientMst1: even if you plug it in later
[07:03] <tarelerulz> It is cool and I just thought someone might find it cool
[07:03] <tarelerulz> It could be the future for us all . Like the way beryl is now
[07:04] <AmbientMst1> Ah
[07:04] <AmbientMst1> Would that cause it to fail starting?
[07:04] <AmbientMst1> Cause that's what happened in my case, I think
[07:04] <valehru> Is there a way I can use wget to download a file that needs a password to access the directory?
[07:04] <AmbientMst1> I don't think it's a problem with my SATA main drive
[07:04] <HymnToLife> beryl is definitely not _my_ future
[07:04] <dabaR> AmbientMst1: you mean being mounted when you plug it in?
[07:04] <Flannel> aleka: if you follow the links a few deep (either edgy or dapper -seveas), then click the link on that page (freenx), you get this page, with instructions on adding: http://free.linux.hp.com/~brett/seveas/freenx/dists/dapper-seveas/freenx/
[07:05] <tarelerulz> speaking of beryl is  one of the cool thing I have seen in graphicaly speaking.  It put linux on part with vistra and the new mac stuff
[07:05] <aleka> Flannel: my confusion was as to the formating of the entry in sources.list>> should I copy the url given on the page and make something like this >> deb http://free.linux.hp.com/~brett/seveas/freenx / edgy main
[07:05] <Flannel> tarelerulz: that may be, but the point is #ubuntu is support oriented, #ubuntu-offtopic is for general chatter
[07:05] <boni_> !beryl
[07:05] <AmbientMst1> (22:04:58) dabaR: AmbientMst1: you mean being mounted when you plug it in?
[07:05] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-xgl
[07:05] <AmbientMst1> Yeah
[07:06] <aleka> Flannel: I was following the edgy link which was bringing me right back to the main page
[07:06] <AmbientMst1> Actually
[07:06] <AmbientMst1> No
[07:06] <tarelerulz> Sorry for being off topic
[07:06] <eggs> i wish i could get opengl working
[07:06] <AmbientMst1> I'm just talking about having it plugged in when it's booting and it fails to start
[07:06] <AmbientMst1> I have no OS or anything installed
[07:06] <AmbientMst1> It's just a mass storage
[07:06] <Marupa> http://paste.leonerd.org.uk/?show=382
[07:07] <Flannel> aleka: hmm, that mirror seems to be lacking an edgy section, see this page: http://seveas.imbrandon.com/dists/edgy-seveas/
[07:07] <aleka> the edgy page says the following packages are available: but doesn't list a thing..
[07:08] <dabaR> aleka: yup, I saw that too. there are other mirrors listed, though, and they have some packages listed, but not freenx in the edggy repos, only in the deapper ones.
[07:08] <Marupa> any ideas for that device?
[07:08] <dabaR> AmbientMst1: so, if the external hd is unplugged, you get your system booted, but if it is plugged in it fails to boot?
[07:09] <aleka> hmm.. would you reckon, changing dapper to edgy in the sources list would work, or would that be pointing to a non-existent mirror?
[07:09] <dabaR> Marupa: I can only suggest google.com/linux and enter that device make and model
[07:09] <Flannel> aleka: it'd probably point to a non existent repository, correct.
[07:09] <tarelerulz> I have mobility Radeon 7500  could that run something like beryl
[07:10] <Marupa> that didn't show anything, dabaR.
[07:10] <dabaR> tarelerulz: you should check out the beryl page. and http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Video_Card_Support_Under_XGL
[07:10] <dabaR> Marupa: nothing at all? try just google.
[07:10] <dabaR> add ubuntu to the search keywords
[07:11] <aleka> and the other mirrors seem to be lacking the freenx package (in their edgy repos)
[07:11] <aleka> i guess I can always try and get it directly from nomachine's website
[07:12] <Marupa> Still not finding anything useful, dabaR.
[07:12] <cmweb> What is my domain on a LAN
[07:12] <cmweb> is it the computer name?
[07:13] <dabaR> cmweb: what is asking you that?
[07:13] <tom47> aleka .... quote .... #  Dennis Kaarsemaker Says:
[07:13] <tom47> October 20th, 2006 at 13:46
[07:13] <tom47> Eamonn: I will definitely not add FreeNX, since developmentof it has come to a complete halt. I will probably add the 2x.com open source version of NX (libs, client, server) though, but not in the really-near-future. (Maybe in early november)
[07:13] <tarelerulz> does not see like  beryl would work well with my hardware
[07:13] <cmweb> What the domain of my computer is im trying to test my samba config
[07:13] <midgetg0at> Any ideas how to get a legal sized pdf to actually print legal sized?
[07:13] <P> hi
[07:14] <dabaR> cmweb: the windows domain, or a web domain? show me where you got that from.
[07:14] <aleka> On a more serious matter I have having problems with.. I just got this external drive[formatted ext3] , USB and put an entry for it in my fstab so I can RW to it as a regular user
[07:14] <dabaR> midgetg0at: in what program?
[07:14] <aleka> rebooted, the mountpoint is there but empty
[07:14] <Flannel> midgetg0at: get legal sized paper?
[07:14] <midgetg0at> just cuts off the last couple inches.
[07:14] <midgetg0at> heh, yip, got the paper ;)
[07:14] <cmweb> dabar, windows domain. Im trying to login via a win 98 in my bros room but i dont got the correct domain
[07:14] <aleka> mount is not showing it as being mounted

[07:15] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-xgl
[07:15] <midgetg0at> it's refusing to print past the normal letter height...although it goes to the bottom w/o margin.
[07:15] <dabaR> cmweb: did you set up a samba server, or are you just connecting to your windows computers with a client?
[07:15] <P>
[07:15] <ssmasud> how can I remove a package from the apt command.....??
[07:15] <midgetg0at> Printer: s530d, setup as a S500
[07:15] <cmweb> dabar, i think i have it set up, but if youd like to look over the config you can
[07:15] <dabaR> ssmasud: sudo apt-get remove
[07:15] <ssmasud> thanks dabar
[07:15] <P> wow, lot of people in here
[07:15] <dabaR> cmweb: sure, pastebin.com
[07:15] <Flannel> ssmasud: you may be interested in the --purge flag, which removes config as well
[07:16] <dabaR> midgetg0at: you should tell us what program you are printing from, help> about, or so
[07:16] <aleka> can anyone take a stab at the problem (mounting a USB drive) i posted?.. if anyone is interested, I can put my fdisk -l and fstab in the pastebin
[07:16] <AmbientMst1> dabaR: Only for booting Ubuntu
[07:16] <midgetg0at> whatever the default ubuntu pdf viewer is...sec...
[07:17] <dabaR> AmbientMst1: so, if the external hd is unplugged, you get your system booted, but if it is plugged in it fails to boot?
[07:17] <midgetg0at> Evince 0.6.1
[07:17] <AmbientMst1> Only when I try to boot Ubuntu
[07:17] <kingrayray> hey, my nvidia driver isnt working, i just reverted to nv. when i try reinstalling the driver it doesn't work..
[07:17] <kingrayray> er, the reinstall works but the driver does not
[07:18] <midgetg0at> bah, when it gets to the normal letter height in printing, it pauses for a second.....then prints one more line then pushes the doc out
[07:18] <tarelerulz> if you vitrally mound img file can you run some linux iso  like that so you can install linux with out have to burn a cd
[07:18] <AmbientMst1> Oh I was wondering about that
[07:18] <AmbientMst1> I don't think so
[07:18] <AmbientMst1> It's not in your boot sequence
[07:18] <AmbientMst1> And you can't boot it in your OS
[07:18] <AmbientMst1> So I don't think so
[07:19] <kingrayray> http://pastebin.com/866789
[07:19] <dabaR> midgetg0at: I can not see a page size option in the evince print dialog.
[07:19] <midgetg0at> On the "Print setup dialog > Page Setup" paper type/paper source/output tray/two sided are grayed out...
[07:19] <tarelerulz> I am wanting to install linux so bad it hurt ,but I don't have a cd and it late at night so store closed
[07:19] <ssmasud> NS2 installation issues....can anybody deal with it????
[07:19] <midgetg0at> i think "paper type" would be the page size dabar
[07:19] <dabaR> AmbientMst1: what else, if you try to boot windows it works?
[07:19] <Pokesomi> hey all
[07:19] <AmbientMst1> Yes
[07:19] <midgetg0at> but it's grayed :(
[07:19] <dabaR> midgetg0at: nope, it is glossy, photo...
[07:20] <Pokesomi> I would like to ask a question if i may
[07:20] <dabaR> !ask
[07:20] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:20] <midgetg0at> so, this program is coded so poorly that it doesnt take into account paper/document size?
[07:20] <AmbientMst1> The next time I tried it, it said the boot disc could not be read
[07:21] <Pokesomi> Is there a way to use the live cd from version 5.10 to inspect and check for error on the primary hard disk drive?
[07:21] <midgetg0at> any pdf viewer you can recommend that'll print legal size?
[07:21] <AmbientMst1> Lol, legal size is a funny term
[07:21] <AmbientMst1> STOP! You can't print that big! IT'S ILLEGAL
[07:21] <AmbientMst1> Ahem
[07:21] <dabaR> tarelerulz: well, you are in luck, my friend. http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2007/01/17/about-the-ubuntu-installer-for-windows/
[07:21] <midgetg0at> stupid mortgage aps. just gimme two LETTER size sheets
[07:21] <Pokesomi> i am running the live cd cause the hard drive seems to be screwed
[07:22] <grndslm> can i make a certain file or two in /usr/sbin/, like /usr/sbin/vpnc executable by a regular user such as myself and not a super user???
[07:22] <Pokesomi> how can i do it from the live cd
[07:22] <Pokesomi> or is it possible
[07:22] <dabaR> tarelerulz: back up important data, it is beta software
[07:22] <tonyyarusso> Sk8aelf: I'd offer more, but I'm an LA person, not MP ;)
[07:22] <Joor> hi
[07:22] <Sk8aelf> tony...bad joke   =p
[07:22] <AmbientMst1> tonyyarusso: No you're just Tony
[07:23] <tarelerulz> Beta is good
[07:23] <AmbientMst1> ;P
[07:23] <tarelerulz> I have use ntfs drives and they work well
[07:23] <Sk8aelf> well actually with the knowledge i have gained today  i am almost done configuring this damn thing to get ti working
[07:23] <tarelerulz> never had anything go wrong
[07:23] <Pokesomi> i think i need to explain a little bit
[07:23] <AmbientMst1> !explain
[07:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about explain - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:23] <Joor> I have a problem with update throught syanptic.. the archive.ubuntu.com  gives me 403 forbidden ... anyone understands why?
[07:23] <dabaR> midgetg0at: gpdf
[07:23] <tarelerulz> Thanks DabaR you great person

[07:25] <Pokesomi> its what came on the restore cd not my choice
[07:25] <dabaR> midgetg0at: acroread can not print in Ubuntu, I think, but try.
[07:25] <tonyyarusso> Joor: archive. or a mirror?
[07:25] <midgetg0at> ok, thanks dabar
[07:25] <dabaR> Joor: show the /etc/apt/sources.list file on pastebin.com, please.

[07:26] <midgetg0at> have you read the ubuntu wiki....
[07:26] <Pokesomi> me??
[07:26] <aryan> yes i have
[07:26] <aryan> i have read the ubuntu wiki
[07:26] <tarelerulz> This might sound dumb ,but where to you get the ubuntu .exe from
[07:26] <midgetg0at> k, because their guides have worked for tons of people
[07:26] <aryan> and tried to follow instructions but i get errors
[07:27] <midgetg0at> ubuntu exe?
[07:27] <midgetg0at> nice nice
[07:27] <tonyyarusso> tarelerulz: exes are for Windows.  What do you mean?
[07:27] <kingrayray> http://pastebin.com/866789
[07:27] <Pokesomi> i am sorry but if someone could help me via pm that would help alot.  I am getting confused as to who is talking to who
[07:27] <cmweb> DABAR: http://rafb.net/p/Anqbkt27.html
[07:27] <aryan> yes could someone help me install flash through pm?
[07:27] <bulmer> Pokesomi: you prefix the responses with their nick name
[07:27] <grndslm> can i make a certain file or two in /usr/sbin/, like /usr/sbin/vpnc executable by a regular user such as myself and not a super user???
[07:27] <aryan> that would make it a heck of alot easier on me, im a noob to ubuntu and have been an ms user for 10 years, can someone please help me out
[07:28] <midgetg0at> aryan, i think macromedia puts a cap on flash installs for the month. they may have gone over and you could have to wait until february 1st
[07:28] <dabaR> cmweb: you are not using a domain, you are using a workgroup, if there is only a domain option in the program you are setting up, use the workgroup there, or leave it empty, if there is a workgroup option
[07:28] <bulmer> grndslm: look at the permission of /usr/sbin and that should give you a clue
[07:28] <tonyyarusso> aryan: have you already read those links?
[07:28] <aryan> yes tony i have been to those links previousley and read thim
[07:28] <aryan> im telling you ive been doing my head in with this allllllll day lol
[07:28] <tonyyarusso> aryan: Have you tried their instructions, or do you not understand part of them?
[07:28] <tonyyarusso> aryan: (Specifics good)
[07:28] <cmweb> DABAR: Ok thanks let me try it
[07:29] <dabaR> AmbientMst1: did you try just plugging in the device while ubuntu is booted already
[07:29] <ic56> grndslm: yes, you can.  but if those executables are currently set to be only executable by root, opening up the perms will create a security hole.  It's your box, so it's your choice.
[07:29] <aryan> tony check your pm
[07:29] <midgetg0at> no one liked my mm joke? :(
[07:29] <_goofy_> when ever i boot up my computer i get a remote login box..... how do i get rid of this..... im not trying to log in to a remote computer
[07:29] <aryan> tonyyarusso:check your pm
[07:30] <Joor> this is the link for my sources.list http://pastebin.com/866799
[07:30] <aryan> tonyyarusso:anyone?
[07:30] <tonyyarusso> aryan: on it - read yours :)
[07:30] <midgetg0at> dabaR: gpdf is doing the same thing. It gets to where a letter sized paper would be, pauses for about 2 seconds, prints one more line and then spits it out....
[07:30] <Joor> can anyone tell me whats wrong i kow have duplicate
[07:30] <midgetg0at> and the paper size for gpdf is set to legal.
[07:31] <cmweb> DABAR: it says it cant find the server
[07:31] <grndslm> ic56:  thanks, i just don't see how anybody's gonna be able to see that i'm running vpn under a less privileged user
[07:31] <grndslm> bulmer:  permissions say that "other" users have ability to execute, but it's not working
[07:32] <midgetg0at> grrrrrr, even if i print it bottom- up. it's cutting off about 3"
[07:32] <grndslm> bulmer:  prolly because it's in /sbin
[07:32] <bulmer> grndslm: execute does not mean == you have write access to that dir
[07:32] <dabaR> midgetg0at: and you changed the paper size?
[07:32] <midgetg0at> of course.
[07:33] <Pie-rate> are there any optimizations i can do for my dual core opteron? i don't care about the difficulty level, i'd like to learn to compile my own kernel if thats what it takes
[07:33] <cmweb> DABAR: It could not find a server to validate from
[07:33] <dabaR> cmweb: what exactly are you doing right now?
[07:33] <arrenlex> dabaR: That is the scariest thing I have ever, ever seen.
[07:33] <dabaR> arrenlex: hehe
[07:33] <_goofy_> when ever i boot up my computer i get a remote login box..... how do i get rid of this..... im not trying to log in to a remote computer
[07:33] <dabaR> why, anyhow?
[07:34] <dabaR> _goofy_: does the ubuntu desktop load?
[07:34] <ic56> grndsl: people logged in to your machine can always see what programs you are running.  People on your network can guess what apps you are running by looking at the port numbers of the packets you send and receive.  But this isn't the issue.  If the executable is restricted, it means that ordinary users would be able to abuse it to bypass security.
[07:34] <Joor> so anyone understand why I get 403 forbidden when trying to get updates from archive.ubuntu.com ?? this is my sources.list http://pastebin.com/866799
[07:34] <cmweb> dabar im trying to get it to login and use the profile on my computer for his computer. i have the account built on my computer and according to the conf. i can log in as i would on here
[07:34] <_goofy_> no thats he 1st thing that cmes up
[07:34] <arrenlex> dabaR: I have had nightmares about "Installshield Wizard will help you install Linux" so many times >__< usually followed by a dancing Bill Gates holding up a shrunken penguin head touting a "Winux" banner.
[07:34] <ic56> grndsl: anyway, what are the perms on the executable right now?  do an ls -l on the file and tell us.
[07:34] <tarelerulz> Well, it that all works dabaR I will tell you and I will be playing with linux on this dell laptop
[07:35] <dabaR> tarelerulz: back up important data if possible, it is still in beta
[07:36] <dabaR> cmeme: you are trying to set up a samba domain server for windows computers, so there are same logins on all your windows comps?
[07:36] <dabaR> cmeme: sorry
[07:36] <dabaR> cmweb: ^
[07:36] <cmweb> dabar: Yes.
[07:36] <Joor> so anyone understand why I get 403 forbidden when trying to get updates from archive.ubuntu.com ?? this is my sources.list http://pastebin.com/866799
[07:37] <dabaR> cmweb: then your samba conf needs to look way different, and that is not easy, I find. You can search for the samba book on google, it has instructions. there is a #samba(kinda non-responsive, I find).

[07:38] <tript> hi
[07:38] <hacosta_> failed: opcode was: unknown
[07:38] <hacosta_> forget the y luego dice part
[07:38] <hacosta_> S:
[07:38] <Joor> I dont think i will get answers
[07:38] <Joor> well
[07:39] <Joor> does 403 forbidden mean I am blocked from archive.ubuntu.com ?
[07:40] <dabaR> Joor: try http://pastebin.com/866811 as your sources.list
[07:40] <dabaR> and a bottle of patience ;) hehe
[07:40] <Taime1> i installed a router, and all of a sudden, my internet connection is much slower
[07:40] <Joor> ok will try
[07:40] <Taime1> can anyone help?
[07:40] <kingrayray> http://pastebin.com/866789 nvidia glx issue? :/
[07:41] <dabaR> cmweb: it is set up to be just one of the workgroup comptuers in the mshome workgroup
[07:42] <dabaR> Taime1: ping your router. see whether there are dropped packets.
[07:42] <Taime1> okay
[07:42] <dabaR> _goofy_: I am not sure, is there exact text that you have from the whole login box?
[07:43] <dabaR> hacosta_: what is the insatll CD, the desktop, or the alternate one?
[07:43] <ic56>  /whois grndslm
[07:43] <zoexii> heya!  if I need to find a file called lynx.cfg, and i don't know where it is, how do i find it from the command line?
[07:43] <kingrayray> http://pastebin.com/866789 anybody seen that before?
[07:43] <dabaR> !find lynx.cfg
[07:43] <Taime1> daBar, there dont seem to be
[07:44] <ubotu> File lynx.cfg found in lynx, lynx-cur
[07:44] <Taime1> oops
[07:44] <dabaR> zoexii: locate lynx.cfg, or dpkg -l lynx.
[07:44] <hacosta_> dabaR: the install CD
[07:45] <dabaR> kingrayray: google seen it... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=339817&page=3
[07:45] <sphorbis> problem: whenever my computer is idle, the fan starts blowing really hard, and i think cpu activity is way up, any ideas why?
[07:45] <kingrayray> hmm i'll check it out thx
[07:45] <dabaR> hacosta_: what version of Ubuntu?
[07:45] <Taime1> dabaR: , thanks, i have been trying to figure tat out forever
[07:45] <dabaR> Taime1: which?
[07:45] <hacosta_> uhh.. latest stable one
[07:45] <Taime1> tab
[07:46] <ic56> zoexii: assuming you know nothing about the file, the slow but sure way is to use the "find" command.   "find / -name lynx.cfg" will search the entire system and report any files that have that name.
[07:46] <dabaR> Taime1: oh, I forgot I did that:)
[07:46] <dabaR> hacosta_: so edgy? there is no install, there are desktop and alternate CDs.
[07:46] <Taime1> its cool, i knew there was a way
[07:46] <Madpilot> sphorbis, are you running a system monitor to check CPU usage? If you've got a screensaver starting, most of them are fairly CPU intensive
[07:46] <Taime1> but my router doesnt seem to be dropping packets
[07:46] <dabaR> hacosta_: and what is the brand and model of the laptop?
[07:46] <hacosta_> desktop then, (i dont use ubuntu)
[07:46] <Taime1> wonder if my isp just sucking at the moment
[07:46] <sphorbis> Madpilot, i dont have a screensaver
[07:46] <hacosta_> zv5040
[07:47] <dabaR> Taime1: try pinging someone, like google.com
[07:47] <abo_> in ubuntu how can I enable the "window" key on my keyboard?
[07:47] <ic56> zoeii: however, since the filename ends in .cfg , you should make the reasonable guess that it's a configuration file and therefore will be found somewhere under /etc/.  This line of reasoning will lead you to the right answer: /etc/lynx.cfg is indeed the normal location for that file.
[07:47] <dabaR> abo_: enable it to do what?
[07:48] <chemaja> abo_: it's called "super" in X; i think you use xmodmap
[07:48] <ic56> zoexii: see prev msg to zoeii
[07:48] <Taime1> dabaR: PING www.l.google.com (<IP_ADDRESS>) 56(84) bytes of data. <---is that a bad thing?
[07:48] <Dasnipa] [> no
[07:48] <tonyyarusso> !winkey | abo_
[07:48] <ubotu> abo_: To use the windows key in keyboard shortcuts as a modifier (like ALT): Run 'xmodmap' and see what Super_L corresponds to.  Then follow method B at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79560 and use <mod4> (or whatever Super_L corresponded to with 'xmodmap') as the modifier. For example, a shortcut to use windows key + d would look like '<mod4>d'
[07:48] <sparr> how can i find out which files reside in the RAM half of a livecd+ram unionfs?
[07:48] <abo_> chemaja, yes exactly ... how can I enable the super button, dabaR, I installed berly and lots of feature use it in a combination with others ...
[07:49] <dabaR> Taime1: it just means your router does not let you ping out.
[07:49] <tonyyarusso> I hate it when features use a Windows key (I don't have one)
[07:50] <threeonefour> i have a printer driver in a rpm package  how do i get it to wrok for ubuntu
[07:50] <abo_> tonyyarusso, what's mod4?
[07:50] <Taime1> but it did start receiving packets
[07:50] <dabaR> Taime1: Ok, then why would it be bad?
[07:50] <Taime1> i dont know
[07:50] <tonyyarusso> abo_: A name for the key that you can use.  Like <Control>f, use <mod4>f, or whatever
[07:50] <dabaR> any dropped ones when you stop it with ctrl-c?
[07:50] <Taime1> im linux stupid
[07:51] <HymnToLife> tonyyarusso, do you have a homebuilt keyboard ? :p
[07:51] <tonyyarusso> abo_: Or whatever else that method outputs.
[07:51] <tonyyarusso> HymnToLife: No, ThinkPad.
[07:51] <HymnToLife> I though they all came with Win Keys nowadays
[07:51] <HymnToLife> thought*
[07:51] <tonyyarusso> HymnToLife: I think Lenovo may have thrown one on there now, but they didn't when I got mine.
[07:52] <dabaR> Taime1: ^
[07:52] <Taime1> im doing that now, hadda reping
[07:52] <Taime1> o packets lost
[07:52] <threeonefour> tonyyarusso, try ctrl+esc+f
[07:52] <Taime1> scuse me 0 packets
[07:52] <dabaR> Taime1: what is slow on your computer?
[07:52] <Taime1> web pages loading
[07:53] <dabaR> Really? Clear the cache, perhaps.
[07:53] <Taime1> actually, navigating from one to annother, more specifically
[07:53] <tonyyarusso> threeonefour: I usally just remap to something else low on the keyboard.  I also have a Fn key which works for things like that.  :)
[07:53] <Taime1> i guess it could be that
[07:53] <threeonefour> so anyone have an answer for my question
[07:54] <Taime1> that didnt help...
[07:54] <dabaR> threeonefour: you sure there are no ubuntu drivers for that printer?
[07:54] <Taime1> man, it happened as soon as i plugged in my new router
[07:54] <Taime1> maybe if i restart
[07:54] <dabaR> Taime1: tell me what is in /etc/resolv.conf
[07:54] <threeonefour> dabaR, according to linuxprinting.org there isn't
[07:55] <abo_> tonyyarusso, I'm using beryl so metacity would be overriden, right?
[07:55] <dabaR> threeonefour: which printer?
[07:55] <zoexii> threeonefour, did you try alien
[07:55] <Taime1> gimme sec
[07:55] <threeonefour> dabaR, http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Canon-PIXMA_iP1600
[07:55] <abo_> tonyyarusso, so going into metacity wouldn't have any effect
[07:55] <threeonefour> zoexii, whats that
[07:56] <threeonefour> ! alien
[07:56] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[07:56] <zoexii> application for installing rpms in ubuntu, but first you should check to see if the driver is available elsewhere
[07:56] <fee> does anyone know why ppracer would run unaccelerated, using fglrx driver on ubuntu edgy? glxinfo shows that the driver is loaded, the opengl plugin in xmms seems to be accelerated as well
[07:56] <tonyyarusso> abo_: That should be correct.  (Not very familiar with beryl)
[07:56] <Taime1> search Belkin

[07:57] <Taime1> yep

[07:57] <AmbientMstr> Alright, folks, I finally got Ubuntu booted with your help

[07:59] <Taime1> ill try it
[07:59] <fee> frogzoo, it says direct rendering: no
[07:59] <frogzoo> fee: well then, no 3d accn
[08:00] <fee> frogzoo: comment out "dri" setting in xorg.conf? (i remember something like that vaguely)
[08:00] <frogzoo> fee: do you have Load  "dri"  in xorg.conf ?
[08:00] <fee> hehe.. bingo
[08:00] <frogzoo> fee: no, it should be in
[08:00] <Taime1> its the same
[08:01] <twb> Are the USNs archived on the web somewhere?
[08:01] <AmbientMstr> I want to be clear that I did not yet install Ubuntu, but was running it live. I couldn't see a thing from my monitor so I had to reboot in Winblows.
[08:01] <dabaR> Taime1: use sudo to edit the file, and leave only the second line in.
[08:01] <frogzoo> fee: pastebin xorg.conf
[08:01] <Taime1> why?
[08:01] <dabaR> AmbientMstr: follow n2diy
[08:01] <tonyyarusso> twb: Yes.  They're linked to from the UWN I know.
[08:01] <dabaR> Taime1: that is your router ip, right?
[08:02] <n2diy> AmbientMstr:  can you surf the net? If not, give me the make and model number of your monitor.
[08:02] <Taime1> router ip is first line
[08:02] <AmbientMstr> n2diy: Just a second
[08:02] <dabaR> Taime1: wasn't there a search belkin as a first line?
[08:02] <Taime1> oh, haha
[08:02] <Taime1> sorry
[08:03] <zoexii> does anyone know if there is an irc command to disable/filter out login/logoff messages?
[08:03] <dabaR> zoexii: what program are you using?
[08:03] <fee> frogzoo, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/2840/
[08:03] <adamonline45> grrrr =(  Is there any way to just plain ERASE every last thing on a hard drive, MBR and all, so I can do a FRESH, fresh install?
[08:03] <zoexii> dabaR, bitchx
[08:03] <AmbientMstr> n2diy: I can surf the internet, yes, and my monitor is a Proview, but I'm not sure about the model. It's not an LCD.
[08:03] <dabaR> zoexii: /help ignore, try that.
[08:03] <chemaja> adamonline45: `dd'
[08:04] <chemaja> adamonline45: on the /dev/hda (or whatever) device
[08:04] <zoexii> dabaR, no help available yet...
[08:04] <n2diy> AmbientMstr:  Ok, never mind, horz. scan rate isn't critical in a LCD monitor, only CRTs.
[08:04] <adamonline45> chemaja: So, if I'm using the repair function on the Ubuntu Server CD, and at a / prompt, that should work?
[08:04] <elkbuntu> aryan, are you running the 64bit version of ubuntu for any particular purpose other than 'because i can'?
[08:04] <chemaja> adamonline45: theoretically
[08:04] <chemaja> adamonline45: i've never found the need
[08:05] <twb> tonyyarusso: I found <http://www.ubuntu.com/usn>.
[08:05] <tonyyarusso> twb: Ah, cool
[08:05] <Taime1> isnt the command sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf   dabaR?
[08:05] <twb> It's kind of amusing how many there are for Firefox.
[08:05] <dabaR> zoexii: here is an example, brought to you by google(bitchx ignore joins as keywords): ignore #nuggetcam modes joins parts quits
[08:05] <frogzoo> fee: uncomment Load "dri" & restart X
[08:05] <dabaR> zoexii: oh, that is for your .bitchxrc file unde /home/userName
[08:06] <adamonline45> chemaja: alright.  I think a previous BSD install is messing with me; I'm single booting and getting the 'famous' "hangs at grub _ with a flashing cursor problem..."
[08:06] <dabaR> Taime1: sure
[08:06] <n2diy> AmbientMstr:  Can you search the net and fing the specs for your LCD display?
[08:06] <AmbientMstr> It's not an LCD.
[08:06] <adamonline45> chemaja: can't find any non-dual-boot related posts on that, so I figure having had something on it in the past is what's doin' it... Le sigh
[08:06] <chemaja> adamonline45: if i were you i'd just remove and recreate partitions and filesystems, then let the OS installer fix your MBR
[08:06] <AmbientMstr> Oh I mean
[08:06] <AmbientMstr> Flat screen
[08:06] <AmbientMstr> Ghlkjshfadslk
[08:06] <zoexii> dabaR, cool, thanx...
[08:06] <AmbientMstr> Yeah
[08:06] <AmbientMstr> Just a sec
[08:07] <Madpilot> ubotu, enter | AmbientMstr
[08:07] <ubotu> AmbientMstr: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[08:07] <tarelerulz> I download the ubuntu install .exe and I try other way to install ubuntu to my laptop with out a cd and I was wonder if knew if the grub.menus file I wrote to it will be read by the ubuntu.exe or does it make new one
[08:08] <n2diy> ! enter | AmbientMstr
[08:08] <ubotu> AmbientMstr: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[08:09] <adamonline45> chemaja: I'll be okay with using the standard partitions setup.  Do you know where I could find that so I can build it manually?  Searches I've done only net custom partitionings... I've installed twice now already, and no luck... =/
[08:09] <Flannel> tarelerulz: ubuntu.exe?
[08:09] <tarelerulz> You can install ubuntu  with an exe that has just been made
[08:10] <AmbientMstr> It's a Proview/EMC analog plug and play
[08:10] <AmbientMstr> That's all the information I found
[08:10] <tarelerulz> I downloaded it and hope to install ubuntu
[08:11] <tarelerulz> I am worred about the menu.lst file for grub. I put a bunch of stuff for the stuff it pass to ubuntu and I really did not understand what I was do with that all the way
[08:11] <AmbientMstr> My card is an Nvidia Geforce 6600 256mb btw
[08:11] <Madpilot> tarelerulz, does that exist at all yet? I know the install.exe was being discussed, but anything actually produced already is likely very, very alpha...
[08:11] <tarelerulz> I download it
[08:12] <tarelerulz> from Ubuntu
[08:12] <frogzoo> tarelerulz: but of course you sensibly kept a back before you started poking about in there, right?
[08:12] <Flannel> tarelerulz: where?
[08:12] <tarelerulz> Well, it says it loopback system
[08:12] <tarelerulz> so no data lost
[08:13] <flutterwings> Hey guys. Haven't played with gnome much- How do you get it to stop loading gnome-wm at loadtime?
[08:13] <hagabaka> has anyone used microdc2 on ubuntu?
[08:13] <mzuverink> My laptop display goes from normal display to screensaver properly but does not handle power off after so long.  It goes off, but within seconds comes back to a blank screen on its own.  If I go to services and uncheck all the power management items it works properly.  However if I attempt to recheck them(reactivate them) they do not work at all.  Anyone got an idea?  The obvious one I tried was to uncheck both then check
[08:13] <mzuverink>  one then the other to see which one is the problem, but like I said it wont allow me to recheck them.
[08:13] <frogzoo> flutterwings: rm the S*gdm in /etc/rc2.d/ or mv it to K*gdm
[08:13] <rm_you> rm the whonow?
[08:14] <rm_you> >_>
[08:14] <mzuverink> Additionally I noticed several posting on the same problem, all with no answer.
[08:14] <rm_you> I really need to turn off highlighting for "rm" when I hang out in linux channels >_>
[08:14] <phiqtion> can i resize ubuntu's partition size from windows without damaging the ext3 or linux itself?
[08:15] <frogzoo> phiqtion: not from windows, no
[08:15] <zoexii> phiqtion, prolly not, try booting live cd then use gparted
[08:15] <flutterwings> frogzoo, Umm... I don't want to get rid of /gnome/, just gnome-wm. I've got another wm that will work fine with the rest of gnome.
[08:15] <phiqtion> zoexii: thx
[08:15] <AmbientMstr> phiqtion: Or try dling Partition Magic or NTFS Resizer
[08:15] <frogzoo> flutterwings: k, dunno
[08:16] <phiqtion> AmbientMstr: i use acronis disc director but it says it might become unbootable (ext3)
[08:16] <dabaR> tarelerulz: were you asked for those options for grub?
[08:16] <phiqtion> what is the ideal SWAP size for a 512mb system?
[08:16] <shodue> could someone help me with a quick question please?
[08:17] <AmbientMstr> phiqtion: Do you have a backup software?
[08:17] <shodue> My question is about the DUAL BOOT
[08:17] <phiqtion> AmbientMstr: no, which one do you recommend?
[08:17] <AmbientMstr> phiqtion: SWAP Partitions are generally twice as large as your normal RAM.
[08:18] <DSL__> exit
[08:18] <DSL__> quit
[08:18] <Flannel> !ask | shodue
[08:18] <ubotu> shodue: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:18] <shodue> okay
[08:18] <frogzoo> phiqtion: is this a lappie or server?
[08:18] <shodue> so I had ubuntu and windows installed on the same drive, correctly, with dual boot
[08:18] <phiqtion> frogzoo: desktop
[08:18] <AmbientMstr> phiqtion: I don't use backup software. I use an external HD as a usb mass storage.
[08:18] <shodue> it was working w/o any troubles, until something in windwos corrupted
[08:18] <frogzoo> phiqtion: a gig twere me
[08:19] <AmbientMstr> Phiqtion: All I need are files, not settings or programs
[08:19] <shodue> i just decided to reinstall windows on that partition
[08:19] <zoexii> !enter | shodue
[08:19] <ubotu> shodue: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[08:19] <shodue> i'm not sure if my boot loader will stay intact
[08:19] <Flannel> !grub | shodue
[08:19] <ubotu> shodue: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[08:19] <shodue> I'm sorry
[08:19] <shodue> shoot
[08:19] <phiqtion> AmbientMstr: i need to get one, but right now for backup i need a fat32 or ntfs partition because i am running linux, win and osx86
[08:19] <shodue> did I just screw myself by doing that?
[08:20] <Flannel> shodue: no, read that first link, it'll tell you how to reinstall grub, it's normal (when reinstalling windows)
[08:20] <AmbientMstr> phiqtion: Try NTFS resizer, it will resize your partition without damaging it. You could alternatively or also run a defrag.
[08:20] <Flannel> shodue: you'll want to overwrite the windows bootloader, so read that section forwhatever ubuntu CD you have
[08:21] <phiqtion> AmbientMstr: for some weird reason, Acronis is not letting me resize my NTFS partition. it just shows a red x.
[08:22] <shodue> thank you
[08:22] <phiqtion> can i resize NTFS from live cd?
[08:22] <ardchoille42> What is this gnome-main-menu I keep hearing about? I can't seem to find it in the repos
[08:23] <Zober> Hi guys
[08:23] <zoexii> phiqtion, yes, you can,
[08:23] <crackhead[1] > hi can anyone help a newbie trying to install ubuntu 6.06??? i keep getting an input error where ubuntu says it cant read from the cd, but i know for a fact from the md5 checksum that the cd is fine...
[08:23] <Madpilot> ardchoille42, it's a re-worked menu that runs all three of the current menus - Applications/Places/System - into one XP-style menu
[08:23] <crackhead[1] > private message me, if you can!
[08:23] <phiqtion> zoexii: no damage is done?
[08:23] <ardchoille42> Madpilot, Oh, ok. Where can I get it?
[08:23] <AmbientMstr> phiqtion: Do you have any settings on that may be blocking that? I'm not familiar with the program.
[08:24] <Zober> I am setting up a PXE server for network ubuntu installs, how can I set it so that it downloads off of a mirror I have already set up on a different machine?
[08:24] <phiqtion> AmbientMstr: nada
[08:24] <AmbientMstr> (23:22:55) phiqtion: can i resize NTFS from live cd?
[08:24] <zoexii> phiqtion, it's never happened to me.  prolly a good idea to do a defrag first, just to be sure that all data is at the beginning of the partition.
[08:24] <Madpilot> ardchoille42, it's called 'main menu' - right-click on a taskbar, choose "add to panel', look for "Main Menu"
[08:24] <AmbientMstr> phiqtion: Yes, you can. But defrag first.
[08:24] <phiqtion> thank you both, bbl
[08:24] <ardchoille42> Madpilot, Ah, ok. then I must have had the name wrong. Maybe USLAB?
[08:25] <crackhead[1] > hi can anyone help a newbie trying to install ubuntu 6.06??? i keep getting an input error where ubuntu says it cant read from the cd, but i know for a fact from the md5 checksum that the cd is fine... private message me, if you can!! greatly greatly appreciated!!
[08:25] <AmbientMstr> So I just loaded up the live version of Ubuntu and it said "frequency out of range, 60/39 kbs" or something like that and "please try other resolutions." The make is a Proview, not sure about its model (old 19in. analog though) and my gfx card is an nvidia Geforce 600 256mb. Is that not supported?
[08:25] <Zober> anyone?
[08:25] <Madpilot> ardchoille42, not sure - there is at least one other 'let's re-do Gnome's menu structure' project out there - the one Suse is using, I think?
[08:25] <Zober> I am setting up a PXE server for network ubuntu installs, how can I set it so that it downloads from a custom mirror (not from the default archive.ubuntu.com)?
[08:26] <crackhead[1] > anyone??
[08:26] <ardchoille42> Madpilot, YEs, that sounds like it.
[08:26] <nsirota> zober
[08:26] <Flannel> Zober: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet for installation, or were you looking for post-installation mirrors (for regular programs?)
[08:26] <Madpilot> crackhead[1] , on the very first menu that comes up on the LiveCD, there's a "Check This CD" option - have you run that to check the burn?
[08:27] <crackhead[1] > i tried to run the check cd, but that failed, too, with the same error
[08:27] <Madpilot> crackhead[1] , then the burn didn't work. Try again w/ a new CD-R, burning slowly - 4x or so
[08:27] <Flannel> crackhead[1] : try in a different cdrom drive, what speed did you burn at?
[08:27] <Zober> Flannel: I am looking for a way to tell client machines conneting to my pxe server to download from a mirror that I created
[08:28] <Flannel> Zober: you'll just set up the mirror.  And point them.  For installation, see that page, otherwise, you need to simply edit the sources.list to point to your mirror
[08:28] <riotkittie> weeeee. my themes are all messed up.
[08:28] <crackhead[1] > i burned it slow at about 4x with infrarecorder. i tried loading it from two different cd-roms. the first one worked a little, got into a loading linux kernel bar, but then the same can't read i/o error occurred.
[08:29] <crackhead[1] > i checked the md5 sum on the cd after burning it, and it matched the correct.
[08:29] <crackhead[1] > so, the burn should have been totally successful, right?
[08:29] <zoexii> crackhead[1] , maybe a hardware problem? does booting live cd work?
[08:30] <Madpilot> crackhead[1] , should have been, yeah. Obviously wasn't, though... I'm not sure what to suggest, at this point...
[08:30] <crackhead[1] > booting live won't work. i think there must be something strange with the hardware/a controller and i need to use a special parameter when booting/installing, but i dont know what it is. can i send a hardware profile to someone via email or something?
[08:31] <alabama> if i move my /home directory into my new partition with cp -a, and then mounting it, will all be like before oder should i use another command
[08:31] <SeraVitae> Ok, my dual head pc in ubuntu, one screen is full of ascii blinking gibberish. I just installed ubuntu, so i assume i probably need nvidia drivers or something right?
[08:31] <zoexii> crackhead[1] , there is a post site somewhere, a better idea than email...
[08:32] <zoexii> !post
[08:32] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about post - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[08:38] <aryan> i did that but it says the owner is root
[08:38] <bef> ;))
[08:38] <aryan> and therefore i cant change the permissios
[08:38] <tonyyarusso> !sudo | aryan
[08:38] <ubotu> aryan: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[08:38] <chavo> aryan, why would you want to do that?
[08:38] <tonyyarusso> aryan: use sudo with cp to move things there.
[08:38] <bef> maybe you need wheel group :p
[08:38] <aryan> uhh yeh im kind of a noob lol

[08:39] <Mstr|UBUNTU> ...
[08:39] <Mstr|UBUNTU> Very funny.
[08:39] <Mstr|UBUNTU> SOLARIS, no jk.
[08:39] <aryan> is there any way i can run the folder with full permissions using sudo?
[08:39] <Mstr|UBUNTU> Ok, I got it to work.   It screws things up
[08:40] <bef> only if you need it
[08:40] <Mstr|UBUNTU> No, I had to shorten my name.
[08:40] <Captain_Haddock> Q: I need to maintain something along the lines of "network profiles" that will allow me to switch from one set of NIC / DNS configurations to another. Is this possible?
[08:40] <zoexii> tonyyarusso, no foolin?  I do it constantly... what does it screw up?
[08:41] <Captain_Haddock> bef: Maybe it's MoleSTer and not Master :P
[08:41] <bef> Captain_Haddock: Yes, that is the likely case I suppose :]
[08:41] <Captain_Haddock> Mstr|UBUNTU: you want help with setting up solaris?
[08:41] <Mstr|UBUNTU> Ok, it's giving me the option to partition the disks now
[08:41] <tonyyarusso> zoexii: It _can_ (but doesn't always) mess with the permissions on some of your ~/.* files, with the possibility of making your user unable to log in.  It doesn't always happen, but it's something to stay far from whenever possible, if you catch my drift.
[08:41] <cokeslut> hello

[08:42] <Mstr|UBUNTU> Ok, now it's saying Resize SCSI1 (0,0,0), partition #1 (sda) and use free space. Is that the one I want to choose?
[08:43] <alabama> if i move my /home directory into my new partition with cp -a, and then mounting it, will all be like before oder should i use another command?
[08:43] <bef> Mstr|UBUNTU:  explain your current partition setup; what OS is running on this partition #1
[08:43] <Mstr|UBUNTU> Nvm. Manually partitioning. Can someone please walk me through how to resize it now?
[08:43] <Mstr|UBUNTU> Windows
[08:43] <zoexii> Mstr|UBUNTU, dunno, is it?  better select manualy partition and make sure...
[08:43] <Mstr|UBUNTU> I am running Windows XP as my main OS
[08:44] <bef> Yes, you are going to want to make a secondary partition to run Ubuntu or your linux distro from
[08:44] <dobblego> how do I add a user to be a sudoer?
[08:44] <bef> and you'll need to steal some space from the Windows
