[12:01] <Slart> VeganChick: I'll take a quick guess and say yes
[12:01] <arrenlex> VeganChick: Yep
[12:01] <bruenig> amd works too
[12:01] <VeganChick> Would it cause problems for my mac if I have Ubuntu partitioned alongside OSX?
[12:01] <Slart> VeganChick: I think they work a bit more on the intel specifics because there are more intels out there.. I don't think there is a physical hardware reason for it to be faster.. but I'm no expert on ppc's
[12:01] <PriceChild> VeganChick, nope

[12:07] <sbaush> i've a big problem in guidance-power-manager

[12:07] <megafauna> Hi, I get this error when I open synaptic: "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. ". I did but didn't understand what to do.
[12:07] <jamison> Can someone recomnd a nice web design program similar to dreamweaver?
[12:07] <denis_on_ubuntu> preaction - then how do i make my card connect wirelessly after that point? i dont seem to have any luck with this
[12:07] <PriceChild> megafauna, run "sudo dpkg --configure -a"
[12:07] <bruenig> megafauna, sudo dpkg --configure -a didn't work or what
[12:07] <bimberi> erk, apologies for the caps
[12:07] <arrenlex> megafauna: run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[12:08] <preaction> jamison: bluefish is nice, i hear
[12:08] <chalmer> thank u
[12:08] <mirak> hi
[12:08] <preaction> denis_on_ubuntu: did you install gnome-network-manager?
[12:08] <denis_on_ubuntu> yep
[12:08] <EdBoy> I have a problem.
[12:08] <sbaush> i'm with kubuntu
[12:08] <arrenlex> EdBoy: run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[12:08] <mirak> what is the command line to suspend and hibernate the computer ?
[12:08] <arrenlex> :)
[12:08] <preaction> denis_on_ubuntu: did you logout/login?
[12:08] <wolferine> once I change my xorg.conf, what do I need to do, restart a service, log, etc?
[12:08] <denis_on_ubuntu> yep i restarted
[12:08] <adjioev> jamison, i use eclispse with aptana...
[12:08] <sbaush> and the problem is http://rafb.net/p/susHsU23.html
[12:08] <EdBoy> When I attempt 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg' and enter the password, it dies.
[12:08] <arrenlex> EdBoy: Sorry, proceed.
[12:08] <EdBoy> arrenlex: close :P
[12:08] <cafuego_> wolferine: logout, hit ctrl-alt-backspace, login.
[12:08] <preaction> denis_on_ubuntu: do you see the gnome-network-manager icon in your notification area?
[12:08] <bruenig> EdBoy, xserver-xorg not xorg
[12:08] <arrenlex> EdBoy: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:08] <wolferine> backspace?
[12:08] <EdBoy> d'oh
[12:08] <wolferine> why?
[12:09] <denis_on_ubuntu> yes i do
[12:09] <megafauna> PriceChild / Bruenig / arrenlex: am trying now
[12:09] <Trixsey> Is there a way to disable the annoying feature that blocks all files that have the wrong extension? Like how some movies are called "mpeg" but are actually quick time, and due to that they are blocked
[12:09] <EdBoy> thought I did something wrong
[12:09] <sbaush> no ideas?
[12:09] <denis_on_ubuntu> but it doesnt show wireless. when i click on iti t only shows wired connection
[12:09] <preaction> denis_on_ubuntu: can you right click on it and see your wireless card?
[12:09] <cafuego_> wolferine: that restarts X, so it uses the new cfg file.
[12:09] <wolferine> ah
[12:09] <wolferine> brb
[12:09] <Slart> Trixsey: blocked? how are they blocked?
[12:09] <denis_on_ubuntu> right clicking just makes it give me "enable networking"
[12:09] <denis_on_ubuntu> as a checkbox
[12:10] <denis_on_ubuntu> and when i just click on it it only gives me "wired network" as an option
[12:10] <sbaush> nobody that can help me?
[12:10] <Trixsey> Slart, a window comes up and says it wont let me run the program since it could be a virus
[12:10] <preaction> denis_on_ubuntu: did you try clicking on that? and could you put my nickname and not use the enter key as punctuation? makes it easier to follow the conversation
[12:10] <megafauna> PriceChild / Bruenig / arrenlex: That was easy: Thanks! I had gotten myself into aptitude somehow....
[12:10] <PriceChild> megafauna, good good, have fun :)
[12:10] <denis_on_ubuntu> i dont know how to do this preaction - i'm new to this - sorry - could you tell me how?
[12:10] <Slart> Trixsey: eh.. you're not supposed to execute your files..
[12:10] <Slart> Trixsey: your movies, I mean
[12:10] <idefix> if you don't want hackers on your PC while you're away and your PC is on, I suppose you could pull out your UTP, but can't say you say to your firewall "block everything from the internet"?
[12:10] <Trixsey> I try to double click them and shit hits the fan
[12:11] <PriceChild> !ohmy | Trixsey
[12:11] <ubotu> Trixsey: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[12:11] <bruenig> Trixsey, what are you doing?
[12:11] <Trixsey> bruenig, wanna watch a movie with an incorrect extension
[12:11] <Trixsey> why not let mplayer play it..
[12:11] <bruenig> Trixsey, change the extension
[12:11] <Trixsey> ubuntu blocks
[12:11] <Trixsey> why is it blocking? is this some ubuntu l33t feature?
[12:11] <Arch_NME> argh... why can't company put out linux drivers with their products
[12:11] <Slart> Trixsey: if you right click and chose properties.. remove the checkmark on "executable".. that should fix it
[12:11] <mirak> what is the commandline to suspend the system and hibernate ?
[12:11] <xethx> what is a good program to make icons in?
[12:11] <Arch_NME> I mean tons of people use linux
[12:11] <denis_on_ubuntu> msg preaction i tried doing this yes
[12:11] <Arch_NME> etf
[12:12] <Arch_NME> it
[12:12] <EdBoy> xethx: IconMaker?
[12:12] <Slart> Trixsey: I mean.. right click on the mpeg-file.. chose properties etc
[12:12] <cafuego_> argh, why can't people check if a product is supported before they buy it
[12:12] <Trixsey> Slart, can I still run it if its not executable?
[12:12] <colbert> Are there any add-on scripts for XChat to display my CPU info like ram, traffic, etc. ??
[12:12] <Arch_NME> so angry I can't even type
[12:12] <bruenig> mirak, I believe those are gdm things
[12:12] <Trixsey> Slart, there is no universal solution.. doing this on 500 movies is hardly a hit
[12:12] <Trixsey> nor would renaming them be
[12:12] <Arch_NME> cafeugo: your sarcastic comments are not helping my anger management over here
[12:12] <Slart> Trixsey: you're not supposed to run mpegs... they are not programs...they are data.. you run a movie player to play the movie.. same as in windows.. movies aren't exe-files
[12:12] <bruenig> Trixsey, you can chmod -x them all if they are all for some reason executable
[12:12] <cafuego_> xethx: gimp/inkscape
[12:12] <arrenlex> Trixsey: Use an automatic renamer. Or use mplayer. :)
[12:12] <xethx> EdBoy, where can i get it?
[12:12] <mirak> bruenig: mmm ?
[12:13] <xethx> cafuego, thankyou
[12:13] <cafuego_> xethx: the gnome icons are done in Inkscape.
[12:13] <Trixsey> Slart, problem is I run mplayer and ubuntu blocks mplayer
[12:13] <EdBoy> xethx: Dunno, was just guessing
[12:13] <bruenig> mirak, so I don't think it is some recognizable shell command it would be some special gdm option
[12:13] <arrenlex> Trixsey: ubuntu does what now?!
[12:13] <cafuego_> xethx: You should be able to obtain their SVG source at openclipart.org
[12:13] <idefix> guys?
[12:13] <Slart> Trixsey: you can do it from the console.. chmod a-x -R *.mpeg should work
[12:13] <xethx> lol
[12:13] <preaction> denis_on_ubuntu: i'm installing the network manager, hang on
[12:13] <Trixsey> arrenlex, it blocks the friggin thing.. it whines about "THE FILE MIGHT BE A VIRUS"
[12:13] <Evil_`> how can I make a file "non world writable"
[12:13] <denis_on_ubuntu> thank you preaction
[12:13] <xethx> sudo apt-get install inkscape ftw
[12:13] <Trixsey> I dont care if its a virus, I want to watch the movie should my harddrive burn
[12:13] <arrenlex> Trixsey: WHAT?! XD What's doing that?
[12:13] <Arch_NME> cafeugo: also, if you can find a cellualr internet card that has linux drviers and software I would be more than happy to purchase it, but it doesn't even seem like there is such an animal
[12:14] <Trixsey> I don't know what exactly :P Could it be gnome? lol
[12:14] <bruenig> Evil_`, you don't want anyone writing to it or just "others"
[12:14] <denis_on_ubuntu> how do I message someone on here with their name highlighted before the text?
[12:14] <arrenlex> Trixsey: Take a screenshot please.
[12:14] <Marlun> When using parted, what is it I should give it, a partition? It's hdb1 that I want to format from a ntfs to ext3, however if I do "parted /media/hdb1" and then "print" it tells me: Unrecognized dik label.
[12:14] <PriceChild> Trixsey, This is on ubuntu right? :s
[12:14] <Trixsey> PriceChild, yes

[12:14] <Trixsey> arrenlex, ok 1 min
[12:14] <arrenlex> denis_on_ubuntu: By putting their name before the text.
[12:14] <denis_on_ubuntu> ah ok thank you
[12:14] <Evil_`> bruenig, when I try to run phpmyadmin with lampp, it says "Wrong permissions on configuration file, should not be world writable!"
[12:15] <bruenig> Evil_`, hmmm, I would sudo chmod go-w it
[12:15] <preaction> Evil_`: chmod o-w <the config file>
[12:15] <EdBoy> Anyone know which Apache to download for Ubuntu?
[12:15] <Evil_`> thanks
[12:15] <EdBoy> pkgadd doesn't seem to exist so I can't use the ReliantUnix one
[12:15] <Trixsey> http://www.mathbin.net/9123
[12:15] <Trixsey> this is what it says, arrenlex
[12:15] <bruenig> or o maybe, I don't know if it wants group and others or just others blocked
[12:15] <mark007> EdBoy, 1.3, 2, and 2.2 are all packaged...
[12:15] <denis_on_ubuntu> preaction: thanks for your help i appreciate it - i've been trying to setup wireless for a long time now heh
[12:15] <preaction> EdBoy: you probably want the prefork one
[12:15] <mark007> Take your pick
[12:15] <Trixsey> arrenlex, I can't rename hundreds of files.. that'd be devastating
[12:15] <Trixsey> this feature is useless
[12:15] <EdBoy> prefork?
[12:15] <EdBoy> mark007: where at?
[12:15] <bruenig> Trixsey, yes you can, there is some called rename works very well
[12:15] <xethx> -_-
[12:15] <Slart> Trixsey: hmm.. my ubuntu installation doesn't do what you describe.. something is weird here
[12:16] <preaction> EdBoy: open synaptic, search for "apache2"
[12:16] <arrenlex> Trixsey: wtf? That's so stupid... that's the most Windowsy error message I've ever seen.
[12:16] <Trixsey> arrenlex, I WONT RENAME THE FILE
[12:16] <Trixsey> I HAVE TONS OF FILES

[12:16] <bruenig> come on

[12:17] <EdBoy> 2.0.55-4ubuntu4 for apache2-mpm-prefork, right
[12:17] <Trixsey> arrenlex, then why don't you SSH to my comp and do it.. they are in different folders all over the HDD
[12:17] <bruenig> Trixsey, are they all mpegs that you need to switch to qt or mov or whatever they are
[12:17] <preaction> EdBoy: the last -XXX is the type of MPM installed. i like prefork because it's the most stable. the other ones are faster iirc. ask #apache
[12:17] <Trixsey> bruenig, no
[12:18] <bruenig> Trixsey, well explain it, I am sure someone can script it or do it with find or something
[12:18] <dager> Trixsey, whats the problem?
[12:18] <Slart> Trixsey: I

[12:18] <preaction> !patience > EdBoy
[12:18] <Slart> Trixsey: I'm having some trouble understanding this.. you have files named blabla.mpeg and when you try to open it you get a messagebox saying sometinhg about virus?
[12:19] <bruenig> Slart, he gets a message that they are actually qt files so they should be renamed with the right extension
[12:19] <Trixsey> Slart, you have the whole message
[12:19] <preaction> Slart: it's the standard nautilus error message when a file's extention does not match the output from /usr/bin/file
[12:19] <Trixsey> I pasted it
[12:19] <Trixsey> "f you open this file, the file might present a security risk to your system. "
[12:19] <cafuego_> which movie player says that?
[12:19] <Trixsey> was what it said
[12:19] <Trixsey> I never said mplayer says that
[12:19] <arrenlex> preaction, Trixsey: Oh, it's nautilus? That explains it... thank god I don't run gnome.
[12:19] <xethx> ok
[12:19] <Slart> eh.. but I've tried it.. I can rename my movies whatever I want.. I can have them executable and I still don't get a message when I try to open them
[12:20] <xethx> maby someone can help me, i need to uninstall grub so thst it will boot windows -_-
[12:20] <Slart> is it sometihng special with qt movies?
[12:20] <Trixsey> Slart, not really.. it goes off for any incorrect file extension
[12:20] <Trixsey> which IMHO is madness
[12:20] <bruenig> Trixsey, if you would explain what the files extensions are and what they need to be changed to, we could probably fix it really quickly instead of just saying to us that we couldn't
[12:20] <dager> Slart: why are your movies executable? I'm just curious, but I think they only need to be read-only to be used
[12:20] <Trixsey> bruenig, I'm a programmer myself.. the movies don't follow a distinct pattern
[12:20] <Trixsey> nor do their extensions
[12:21] <Slart> dager: mm.. I just noticed it myself.. I have no idea..
[12:21] <Trixsey> they all differ
[12:21] <denis_on_ubuntu> preaction: I guess I am not sure how to make sure that i installed the wireless card correctly - but going through the forum instructions is just really confusing, moreso because things do not work the same way on the instructions as on my box lol
[12:21] <Trixsey> and I got hundreds of them
[12:21] <concept10> does the Order in Sessions control which app is started first?
[12:21] <Trixsey> all over the place
[12:21] <dager> Slart: so perhaps, since you're in effect trying to "execute" a movie.. it's not registering right with file
[12:21] <preaction> Trixsey: a shell script. call `file`, if it's QT, rename to "avi"
[12:21] <bruenig> Trixsey, ok well first, all over the place doesn't matter so get that block out of your mind
[12:21] <Trixsey> I simply don't want to make a shellscript or some program to rename all files
[12:21] <dager> Slart: thus, giving you the foreign extension warning
[12:21] <Sheepmullet> lol
[12:21] <Slart> dager: eh.. it won't execute my movie.. it just plays it..
[12:21] <Trixsey> I rather format and get debian or whatever
[12:21] <bruenig> Trixsey, then leave
[12:21] <preaction> Trixsey: debian has nautilus too? you've been given a solution.
[12:21] <Trixsey> Slart, clicking the movie icon actually executes mplayer, which plays it
[12:21] <dager> Slart: well yeah, there's nothing to execute, but Nautilus might be thinking you're trying, which is why it presents the error?
[12:22] <bruenig> trixsey doesn't want us to help him
[12:22] <Slart> Trixsey: yes.. that happens for me too.. but I don't get the warning
[12:22] <xethx> can someone help me uninstall grub?
[12:22] <PriceChild> xethx, uninstall grub?
[12:22] <PriceChild> xethx, you want to go back to windows only?
[12:22] <xethx> i need to boot windows
[12:22] <xethx> yes
[12:22] <cafuego_> Same here, when I rename my .MOV files to MPEG they play just fine
[12:22] <Slart> dager: but it isn't presenting the error.. I'm changing permissions back and forth.. executing right and left and no warnings whatsoever.. it just plays the file in mplayer
[12:22] <Trixsey> I'll just get KDE then.. this is nuts.. I know there are solutions and workarounds but why spend hours (it'd take plenty of time) on converting from one extension to another? (I have a bunch of extensions and they are all wrong, and in different folders and stuff).. not only MPEG/QT
[12:23] <xethx> PriceChild, yes
[12:23] <dager> Slart: oh.. I see.. then whats the issue? :P
[12:23] <Trixsey> I mean, everything can be solved if you put lots of time to solve it, but my point is why oh WHY would you include such a useless feature in the first place!?!?
[12:23] <bruenig> Trixsey, complain to gnome
[12:23] <preaction> Trixsey: better solution: tell nautilus team to ignore file extentions. or tell the people you download your pirated movies from to use better codecs
[12:23] <Slart> dager: Trixsey is getting a warning message about "bla bla bla danger danger.. executing this might harm your system etc etc"
[12:23] <Trixsey> I dont download pirated movies
[12:23] <Trixsey> I download free pornography that I masturbate to
[12:24] <dager> Slart: oooh, perhaps I should've told him then :P
[12:24] <PriceChild> xethx, one second
[12:24] <preaction> bruenig: trixsey said "programmer" not "competent programmer"
[12:24] <dager> Trixsey: do you have the corrent libraries to play .mov files?
[12:24] <m1r> eve all
[12:24] <Factory> Tixsey: no sex drive? =(
[12:24] <bruenig> Trixsey, you should write your own DE since you program and all
[12:24] <PriceChild> !ohmy | Trixsey
[12:24] <ubotu> Trixsey: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[12:24] <m1r> nice number tonight :) 1040
[12:25] <PriceChild> xethx, http://www.techzonez.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-3975.html
[12:25] <denis_on_ubuntu> preaction: any luck with network manager man?
[12:25] <xethx> PriceChild, Thanks a bunch
[12:25] <Trixsey> It's not hard to make a shell script that renames the file extensions in a folder, but like I said.. it's not only QT/mov files.. I don't even know what all are
[12:25] <Slart> quicktime movies have the .mov extension usually, right?
[12:25] <Factory> Just wanted to let you all know that you're all doing a terrific job. Ubuntu is a godsend of a distro.
[12:26] <bruenig> Slart, yes
[12:26] <trond> slart: yep
[12:26] <preaction> denis_on_ubuntu: no, user switching crashed my vm
[12:26] <denis_on_ubuntu> oh shoot heh
[12:26] <Trixsey> bruenig, how would I know which extension which file *should* have?
[12:26] <bruenig> Trixsey, you would probably need to use the file command
[12:26] <Factory> Trixsey, you downloaded it, didn't you?
[12:26] <preaction> Trixsey: then go through and fix all your extentions. .avi, .mpeg, .mov, .rm, and get the output from `file`
[12:26] <EdBoy> to execute apache 2, I go to /usr/sbin/ and exec apache2, right?
[12:26] <JuJuBee> I need to get a motherboard that will support a socket 775 Core 2 Duo.  Can someone suggest one that has been tested to work with ubuntu?
[12:26] <Trixsey> Factory, I have hundreds of movies
[12:26] <Flannel> EdBoy: no.
[12:26] <concept10> does the Order in Sessions control which app is started first?
[12:26] <preaction> EdBoy: no. /etc/init.d/apache2 start
[12:26] <Flannel> EdBoy: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[12:26] <xethx> PriceChild, I dont have a windows boot disk -_-
[12:27] <dager> Trixsey: I dont think I fully understand your problem, but you might actually need to convert your files instead of just renaming them
[12:27] <denis_on_ubuntu> preaction: ok well i dunno. Is there some application that works like the wireless icon in windows, where it shows you a list of available connections around you?
[12:27] <preaction> EdBoy: but that was done for you as part of the install process
[12:27] <preaction> denis_on_ubuntu: that's what the network manager will do
[12:27] <EdBoy> thanks
[12:27] <PriceChild> xethx, I'm not helping you if you have a pirate version of windows
[12:27] <cafuego_> JuJuBee: ANy Intel 945 mobo should work fine with Edgy. 965's will probably work with Feisty.
[12:27] <xethx> PriceChild, I dont
[12:27] <EdBoy> How do I know if it's running? o_0
[12:27] <JuJuBee> I have a 965 and cannot get it to work with Feisty.
[12:27] <Thinkpad_Guru> JuJuBee I've had good luck with Foxconn boards
[12:27] <JuJuBee> or earlier.
[12:27] <preaction> EdBoy: ps aux | grep "apache"
[12:27] <EdBoy> oh, localhost is on
[12:27] <EdBoy> hehe
[12:28] <Factory> Thinkpad_Guru, I just read in the forums of someone (actually two people) haveing troubles with one of their models.
[12:28] <Trixsey> bruenig, and then cycle through the home dir in search for movies to rename to their *actual* extensions?.. and as soon as I get a new movie I have to either manually rename it or run the script?
[12:28] <denis_on_ubuntu> preaction: really? ok - heh cuz it doesnt show any connections around me so, where would i go from there?
[12:28] <xethx> PriceChild, I bought the computer from the HP websight
[12:28] <bruenig> JuJuBee, #ubuntu+1
[12:28] <preaction> EdBoy: might i suggest a standard tutorial for setting up apache?
[12:28] <Trixsey> that'd be one messy solution
[12:28] <preaction> denis_on_ubuntu: probably doesn't because it doesn't think you have a wireless card?
[12:28] <JuJuBee> brueing : what is that?
[12:28] <lisapc> whats (peerguardian?
[12:28] <PriceChild> xethx, Best to contact them on the best way to restore it...
[12:28] <bruenig> Trixsey, where are you getting these movies that they don't have the write extension in the first place
[12:28] <Trixsey> bruenig, from pornsites
[12:28] <bruenig> Trixsey, you could set up a cronjob to run the script, awesome
[12:28] <PriceChild> xethx, until then you can continue using grub to boot windows
[12:28] <cafuego_> Slart: Linxu doesn't.
[12:28] <xethx> PriceChild, -_- thats  going to be a pain in the ass
[12:28] <preaction> Slart: linux doesn't. nautilus does. it's nautilus
[12:28] <Factory> Slart: it doesn't. That's why I'm confused right now.
[12:29] <Factory> oh. nautilus. gotcha
[12:29] <xethx> grub wont even boot windows
[12:29] <Slart> ahh...
[12:29] <denis_on_ubuntu> preaction: so how would i get it to think that i have a wireless card, like i installed ndiswrapper and did the command to rap it around the driver, but i'm confused what to do past that point
[12:29] <Trixsey> bruenig, lol.. I guess.. but that still feels really dirty
[12:29] <bruenig> Slart, not sure gnome counts as linux anymore, linus is against it and it appears to suck
[12:29] <cafuego_> well, *his* nautilus does.
[12:29] <jlward4th> hi all.  question I can't find the answer to on google...  i have 2 sata drives, in my laptop, but one shows up as an ide drive.  how do i disable the ide controller?
[12:29] <phelyx> Hello just started running Ubunto, is there a YellowDog like application that can be ran to mount drives on the fly.
[12:29] <xethx> PriceChild, I get a grub 17 error
[12:29] <Factory> Yahknow, you could just use a different file manager =)
[12:29] <N3WB> Question: I have just installed Ubuntu from alternative CD and it works perfect and all that, a graphic driver isnt working but i will install that later (if possible)
[12:29] <preaction> phelyx: what kind of drives?
[12:29] <Slart> bruenig: no.. say it aint so.. I was just beginning to be comfortable with it..
[12:29] <Trixsey> Sorry, I'll correct myself.. I watched birds and bees
[12:29] <Thinkpad_Guru> Factory, hmm, I've had good luck.  Even the Dreaded Linux unfriendly Asus boards work good with the Core 2 Duo for me.  After I added a PCI NIC that is.......
[12:29] <dager> bruenig: linus is just picky :P
[12:29] <Trixsey> or flowers and bees it is perhaps
[12:30] <preaction> no, gnome is failing in its mission.
[12:30] <phelyx> preaction: I read that Ubuntu can read NTFS but not write without installing ntfs-3g
[12:30] <bruenig> linus is hilarious though, I wish I were as good as he was so that when I complained about something sucking I could just go "yeah here are the patches, you guys really do suck"
[12:30] <preaction> phelyx: this is true, but does not answer my question
[12:30] <PriceChild> xethx, !offtopic
[12:30] <N3WB> but all i see now is a command tool for ubuntu
[12:30] <N3WB> no graphical things or such
[12:30] <N3WB> Question: I have just installed Ubuntu from alternative CD and it works perfect and all that, a graphic driver isnt working but i will install that later (if possible)
[12:30] <Factory> Thinkpad_Guru, ah wow. You  must carry around two rabbits feet and a 4  leaf clover, eh? I've had success with asus myself on amd archs, though. You want me to find you the model those guys were having troubles with or no?
[12:30] <PriceChild> argh that wasn't to you xethx
[12:30] <N3WB> or do i need to do that now?

[12:30] <Trixsey> bruenig, why patch something that sucks in the first place.. might as well swap to something else then.. I'll go for KDE4 :'(
[12:30] <cafuego_> bruenig: otoh, he knocks back more patches than anyone in the world
[12:31] <preaction> phelyx: so what do you mean by automount? what does the program from yellowdog do?
[12:31] <Factory> Trixsey: or just get a diff file manager.

[12:31] <Factory> Trixsey: why throw away the fridge because the milk is bad?
[12:31] <panfist> i have gnome-system-monitor on, if i change a setting in vmware server, memory usage of gnome-system-monitor reports that the memory use of xchat and gnome-system-monitor goes to 4gigabytes and my system hangs for a long time while it pages something
[12:31] <concept10> Anyone use kxdocker?  How do I get it to show on the desktop?
[12:31] <bruenig> cafuego, he may be a hypocrite but still when he says something sucks, he can prove it, all I can do is sit on the sideline and say you guys really should fix this part even though I really don't understand how any of this code works anyways
[12:31] <phelyx> preaction: Overall the problem is they won't show even with the mount command
[12:32] <xethx> PriceChild, GRUB Loading stage1.5.                     GRUB loading, please wait...                Error 17
[12:32] <preaction> phelyx: "show"?
[12:32] <PriceChild> one moment xe
[12:32] <PriceChild> xethx, ^
[12:32] <cafuego_> bruenig: No, see, "sucking" is opinion, not fact. You can't prove opinion. Just because he's Linus doesn't mean he's always right.
[12:32] <Trixsey> Factory, if the same person made both the fridge and the milk.. you take out your anger on everything he made.. and remove it all! ROAR
[12:32] <JuJuBee> I tried to look through the HCL's but cannot search by slot type (775) or CPU (Core 2 Duo).  I need to get a board replaced fast.  I have to build a new computer and the board I have (Intel 965) is not going to cut it. (Not yet at least).
[12:32] <bruenig> cafuego, well he can back it up I should say
[12:32] <Thinkpad_Guru> Factory, I don't think thats all necessary.  I don't know my buddy's board model off hand to be of any help anyway.  It is a brand new board though, like a month or two old
[12:33] <Slart> Trixsey: ok.. I now have a quicktime movie.. it's executable.. but when I open it it just says something about not knowing what to do with this filetype
[12:33] <PriceChild> xethx, error 17 is that grub can't mount the selected partition
[12:33] <Factory> Trixsey: You're pretty impatient then =p Remind me not to make you tester for anything I ever right, lest you complain about the colors used.
[12:33] <xethx> PriceChild, soo, what shal i do?
[12:33] <Factory> Trixsey: If you change your mind, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/nonautilusplease
[12:33] <cafuego_> bruenig: Lots of people write patches for all kinds of software and they get rejected all the time.
[12:33] <Trixsey> Slart, get some mplayer codecs then, there are QT codecs for it :P
[12:33] <Factory> Thinkpad_Guru,  alright man. Just checkin
[12:33] <PriceChild> xethx, Do you still have ubuntu installed?
[12:33] <bruenig> cafuego, right but I can't do that, so I envy those who can, I should learn I guess
[12:33] <cafuego_> bruenig: You don't hear them yellign and complaining about bruised egos.
[12:34] <Slart> Trixsey: well... I can open it if I call it movie.mov or movie.mpeg.. but if I just call it movie I get the error message

[12:34] <Factory> Slart: Nautilus takes notice of file extensions, remember?
[12:34] <N3WB> Question: I have just installed Ubuntu from alternative CD and it works perfect and all that, a graphic driver isnt working but i will install that later (if possible)
[12:34] <N3WB> or do i need to do that now?
[12:34] <bruenig> !info thunar
[12:34] <Factory> N3WB, nice question.
[12:34] <Slart> Factory: yea.. I remember.. just getting closer to repeating the problem
[12:34] <ubotu> thunar: File Manager for Xfce. In component main, is optional. Version 0.4.0svn+r23151-0ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 384 kB, installed size 2956 kB
[12:34] <PriceChild> xethx, did ubuntu ever boot?
[12:34] <Factory> Slart, =) righto
[12:34] <N3WB> Ye i have asked it like 10 times now -.-
[12:35] <xethx> PriceChild, on the external?
[12:35] <PriceChild> xethx, basically... ubuntu cannot find the ubuntu partition/cannot mount it
[12:35] <Trixsey> Factory, I didn't complain about the colors.. ??
[12:35] <Slart> I can even rename it to movie.sh and it still doesn't give me a warning
[12:35] <Thinkpad_Guru> Factory *Thinkpad Guru* not random *Asus board Guru* :-)
[12:35] <Factory> N3WB, when you say a graphics driver isn't working, what exactly is it doing
[12:35] <Aggrav8d> i've got users who all share the same group and they can see/edit a samba folder on my linux box.  they can read files (yay) and save files (yay) but when they save the file changes it's group (boo!)  how can i make it keep the old group when they save their files?  i'm running smbd 3.0.22 in ubuntu.
[12:35] <PriceChild> N3WB, might be nice to just install it now.
[12:35] <PriceChild> Factory, he has a 8800 unsupported by "nv"
[12:35] <Factory> Trixsey, I was making an analogy =)
[12:35] <Factory> PriceChild,  gotcha
[12:35] <xethx> PriceChild, so?... im skrewed
[12:35] <preaction> Aggrav8d: the people in #samba would be able to help you better probably
[12:35] <Factory> Thinkpad_Guru, hah right right.
[12:35] <PriceChild> xethx, Did ubuntu ever boot?
[12:35] <N3WB> nVidia has LinuxDrivers for 8800 GTS
[12:36] <N3WB> but not so sure how to install them on Ubuntu (A)
[12:36] <PriceChild> !envy | N3WB
[12:36] <ubotu> N3WB: envy is a Python script that eases installation of the official Nvidia and ATI drivers. Please see http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html . Developers may be interested in https://launchpad.net/products/envy - See also !Nvidia
[12:36] <xethx> PriceChild, on my dekstop i booted the live cd so i could install to the external
[12:36] <Trixsey> Slart, yeah in windows I could play any file with mplayer.. even compressed with rar (if my memory serves me right)
[12:36] <Trixsey> Slart, whats your file manager then?
[12:36] <Factory> envy is quite nice for that situation, N3WB
[12:36] <Factory> ah, beat me to it.
[12:36] <Slart> Trixsey: Nautilus.. that's what's so strange
[12:37] <dager> Slart and Trixsey: are you running from the command line? or through nautilus?
[12:37] <N3WB> Also is it because X-Server or whatever its called dont got drivers that i dont see ubuntu like it should be?
[12:37] <flyinghippo> Hello.  I'm just wondering if anyone could suggest a good (preferably graphical) FTP client for Ubuntu.
[12:37] <Slart> dager: clicking in the gui... nautilus
[12:37] <Trixsey> dager, I tried through nautilus
[12:37] <PriceChild> flyinghippo, I love the fireftp extension to firefox. However gnome connects to ftp servers perfectly also
[12:37] <flyinghippo> Thanks.
[12:37] <preaction> flyinghippo: he means nautilus
[12:37] <dager> Slart and Trixsey: try it from the commandline.. "mplayer movie" should be sufficient, extensions not needed
[12:38] <flyinghippo> I'm actually connecting to SFTP.
[12:38] <Dreamxtreme> Hi i ned help connecting to the net
[12:38] <Factory> flyinghippo, gFTP hasn't let me down yet.
[12:38] <flyinghippo> gFTP has been difficult for that.
[12:38] <preaction> flyinghippo: nautilus will do that too probably. it's just a different way to do scp
[12:38] <ebjcoat> what's the best program for ripping dvds?
[12:38] <Dreamxtreme> xtknight: you still on here???
[12:39] <Jugo23> dvdshrink. Don't know if they make a version for linux
[12:39] <ebjcoat> yeah i have dvd decrypter for windows
[12:39] <Slart> dager: yes.. that worked as well.. but nautilus seems to work nicely, executable movie or not.. unless I rename it to movie.sh or just movie
[12:39] <niaht> k9copy - like dvdshrink
[12:39] <Factory> ebjcoat, there are quite a few if I recall.
[12:39] <ardchoille> Jugo23: http://dvdshrink.sourceforge.net  <-- I am using it in Dapper as we speak :)
[12:39] <xethx> PriceChild, so.... what should i do
[12:40] <Factory> !dvd ripping
[12:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dvd ripping - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:40] <Jugo> There you go ebjcoat
[12:40] <Dreamxtreme> Can any help me connect to the net with my wifi
[12:40] <PriceChild> xethx, well you didn't answer my question?
[12:40] <ebjcoat> thanks
[12:40] <Factory> Dreamxtreme, have you tried google yet =)
[12:40] <Dreamxtreme> yea
[12:40] <xethx> PriceChild, yes i did
[12:40] <N3WB> Question: Drivers for ubuntu should end with .run or?
[12:40] <Dreamxtreme> im stuck
[12:40] <Jugo> Dreamxtreme, google 'ubuntu wireless'
[12:40] <Slart> N3WB: they sometimes do
[12:40] <preaction> N3WB: read the readme
[12:40] <xethx>  on my dekstop i booted the live cd so i could install to the external
[12:41] <xethx> PriceChild, ^
[12:41] <PriceChild> xethx, either way, you've got to contact dell on how to restore your mbr... but I'm trying to let you get grub back to get into windows.
[12:41] <Factory> Dreamxtreme, not being able to connect to the net through wifi is extremely common. I find it hard to believe doing a search on google gave you NOTHING.
[12:41] <PriceChild> xethx, but you didn't install?
[12:41] <preaction> N3WB: that's not the driver itself, it's a shell program that will install the driver. drivers are .so (shared objects)
[12:41] <Slart> N3WB: specifically, the nvidia graphics drivers do
[12:41] <xethx> PriceChild, not to rhe computer thats having problems
[12:41] <Slart> yes.. preaction is right.. sorry to add to the confusion
[12:41] <Arch_NME> if anyone know's anything regarding getting a UTstarcom 5740 EVDO cellular internet card with sprint service to work under ubuntu please pm me, I'll be idle in the chan for the next few hours as I do some of my own web research, sorry for spamming this again
[12:41] <PriceChild> xethx, then how has it even got grub on it?
[12:41] <preaction> N3WB: but seriously, use envy
[12:41] <xethx> PriceChild, thats wat id like to know
[12:42] <N3WB> ok
[12:42] <N3WB> Fine -.- will download it
[12:42] <kraypius> I am having a problem with installing my ubuntu
[12:42] <Slart> kraypius: what kind of problems
[12:42] <trond> Has anyone experienced choppy video with ATI fglrx and beryl xgl? Tried in the #beryl channel, but no response.
[12:42] <ardchoille> trond: Try #ubuntu-effects
[12:42] <kraypius> im at the part where you select the partitions and it keeps telling me: No root file system
[12:42] <Aggrav8d> preaction - i tried there first :(
[12:43] <PriceChild> xethx, I can't help you.... you say you have grub on your machine, even though you haven't installed ubuntu on it?
[12:43] <Factory> trond: ATI never plays nice with ubuntu
[12:43] <niaht> trond: Yes
[12:43] <Factory> trond: just a warning.
[12:43] <preaction> Aggrav8d: and they said?
[12:43] <kraypius> i selected the correct partition though and set the mount point to /
[12:43] <xethx> PriceChild, yes
[12:43] <Aggrav8d> try the sticky bit.  chmod g+s.
[12:43] <wolferine> anyone use Nvidia/dual screens?
[12:43] <Slart> kraypius: ok, you need to tell it where to put the root file system.. ie where Ubuntu will be.. similar to the partition where windows will have it's windows folder
[12:43] <preaction> Aggrav8d: and after you told them that didn't work?
[12:43] <Aggrav8d> still nothing.
[12:43] <trond> Factory: It actually plays fairly well here, except for video (maximized and fullscreen with XV) and opengl in cedega/wine
[12:44] <N3WB> envy.deb yep right i guess? :P
[12:44] <bobesponja> hey all
[12:44] <kilian> if want to allow user kilian to execute shutdown without entering his password, so i added "kilian  ALL=NOPASSWD:/sbin/shutdown" to my /etc/sudoers, but when user kilian enters "sudo shutdown" he is still asked for his password, anybody an idea whats wrong?
[12:44] <Aggrav8d> i'm sure it's a simple config - "don't muck with group settings"
[12:44] <Factory> trond: then that's not playing nicely, is it? ;)
[12:44] <N3WB> then put that on a CD or memory stick and use that?
[12:44] <bobesponja> a friend of mine just installed Ubuntu, can I ssh to his computer or does he need to install ssh or something?
[12:44] <kraypius> isnt that what i was doing on the "prepare mount points" screen?
[12:44] <preaction> Aggrav8d: you're most likely not going to get help here, that's a hard-core samba problem, and this is a general-purpose ubuntu channel :( you'll just have to be patient. search the docs while you wait?
[12:44] <trond> Niaht: Did you find a sollution? Do you know if it is a beryl bug, or ATI prop driver bug, or both? :)
[12:44] <PriceChild> N3WB, "sudo dpkg -i package_name.deb" to install it
[12:45] <trond> Factory: If I could solve the choppy video thing I could live with it
[12:45] <Aggrav8d> preaction - i've been searching docs, googling, and trying samba all at once :T
[12:45] <Aggrav8d> preaction - but thanks for trying :)
[12:45] <preaction> N3WB: or just double-click in the latest ubuntu, it will open an installer
[12:45] <Slart> kraypius: hmm.. not really no... I can't really remember what that screen looks like.. but you have to tell it to put to root file system on a drive.. the operating system has to be somewhere..
[12:45] <Factory> trond: I can "live" with it, too, but knowing that it's my videocard holding me back from my wine + videogames makes me nuts.
[12:45] <N3WB> ok thanks, will write that on a note right now :D
[12:45] <N3WB> ok
[12:45] <niaht> trond, sorry,no idea.. I'm sure it's some combination of the bunch. Things with ATI and X simply are not in the best state.. haven't been for some time.
[12:45] <Factory> trond: therefor, yay nvidia, boo ati.
[12:46] <trond> Factory: it is frustrating yes. The next video card I buy will come from nvidia.
[12:46] <kraypius> my screen shows: /media/sda1 83Gb Partition 1
[12:46] <GMWeezel> How can I make an application take focus when executed from the command line?
[12:46] <Factory> trond, there you go =)
[12:46] <kraypius> swap 502mb partition 3
[12:46] <lisapc> how can I convert AVI to MPEG please?
[12:46] <Factory> lisapc, have you tried google yet?
[12:46] <kraypius>  / 10gb part2
[12:46] <cafuego_> lisapc: using ffmpeg
[12:46] <delaney> I feel like an idiot but im googling my but off trying to find what i need to checkout the latest clearlooks svn and cant find it anywhere.  anyone got a hint?
[12:46] <Slart> kraypius: ah.. then root should be on part2
[12:46] <Slart> kraypius: then I don't understand why it's complaining..
[12:47] <lisapc> Factory, wow, i didnt realise google converts avi. ty
[12:47] <kraypius> yeah thats what i set it to and it says: ! no root file system
[12:47] <lisapc> cafuego, ty :)
[12:47] <niaht> trond, you will have much better success. Honestly, my ATI with beryl is *snappier* an crisper. but jittery at times, and unstable.  With my nvidia (on 64-bit no less), it's really usable.
[12:47] <Slart> kraypius: ah.. btw.. have you told it what file system to use? as in ext2, ext3, reiserfs etc
[12:47] <Factory> lisapc, no, but it's better to actually look for an answer yourself than to come to a channel with an easy-to-fix question.
[12:47] <Factory> lisapc, Just sayin'.
[12:47] <kraypius> i created the partition filesystems while in windows. it is ext3
[12:47] <xethx> can anyone help me -_-?
[12:47] <lisapc> Factory, dont be so self0righteous and condescending, thanks
[12:48] <kraypius> i used partition magic
[12:48] <PriceChild> Factory, lisapc lets end that there :)
[12:48] <kraypius> the install OS option
[12:48] <Slart> kraypius: perhaps you have to tell it that it's ext3 somehow?
[12:48] <Factory> PriceChild,  ended
[12:48] <kraypius> it knows
[12:48] <kraypius> on the previous screen it shows in this order:
[12:48] <lisapc> PriceChild, ok :)
[12:48] <bsnider> is there a way i can turn off IPTABLES?
[12:48] <trond> Niaht: 64 bit? :)
[12:49] <PriceChild> bsnider, Pardon? It shouldn't really be causing a problem
[12:49] <preaction> bsnider: why would you ever want to do that?
[12:49] <niaht> trond, AMD opteron
[12:49] <bsnider> let's say that for argument's sake, i want to do it anyway
[12:49] <kraypius>  /dev/sda3  linux swap
[12:49] <cafuego_> bsnider: Just set all policies to ACCEPT and have no other rules.
[12:49] <xethx> -_-
[12:49] <kraypius>  /dev/dsa1  hidden
[12:49] <preaction> bsnider: no, let's say you tell us why and we tell you you're stupid?

[12:50] <russell190> hello every1.
[12:50] <Jugo23> hi
[12:50] <russell190> This is my first time at this server
[12:50] <Factory> bsnider: better question: do you know what IPTABLES is ?
[12:50] <Slart> kraypius: hmm.. ok.. that looks good too... I've run out of ideas to try.. my last resort would be to google for the error message.. see what comes up.. oh.. and keep asking in here.. perhaps someone else knows a solution to this
[12:50] <lisapc> cafuego, is there a GUI front end for ffmpeg?
[12:51] <russell190> I also am on irc.wii-battle.com
[12:51] <cafuego_> lisapc: No idea, probably.
[12:51] <mribas> lkkkkk
[12:51] <bsnider> Factory: nm i'll take care of it myself
[12:51] <ardchoille> lisapc: What does ffmpeg do?
[12:51] <PriceChild> !ffmpeg | ardchoille
[12:51] <Factory> bsnider: go for it =) Have fun not using the internet

[12:52] <KeeNaF> hi guys .. i bought a new harddisk and use it as external with enclosure .. the problem is linux did not detect the hdd ... what should i do?
[12:52] <niaht> bsnider, iptables is a module.
[12:52] <wes_1977> what's the files that contains the list of modules to not load a boot time?
[12:52] <cafuego_> /etc/modules
[12:52] <cafuego_> the reast is loaded automagically during hardware probe.
[12:52] <ardchoille> lisapc: You might look into avidemux, it's in the repos, I think it can convert avi to mpeg.
[12:53] <wes_1977> cafuego_: thanks
[12:53] <bruenig> lisapc, devede for avi to dvd compatible mpeg
[12:53] <lisapc> ardchoille, ok ty
[12:53] <lisapc> bruenig, ah ok
[12:53] <lisapc> brb
[12:53] <ardchoille> lisapc: Yes, devede can indeed convert avi to mpeg, as bruenig said. I used it about an hour ago.
[12:53] <lisapc> ok trhaknks
[12:54] <lisapc> ardchoille, does it leave AVI in tact?
[12:54] <Kooka> cya all and good night :)
[12:54] <ardchoille> lisapc: Yes
[12:54] <cafuego_> ffmpeg -i foo.avi -f dvd-pal foo.mpg
[12:54] <cafuego_> it's really not hard
[12:54] <roachclit> how do you guys change the screen resolution on UBUNTU on a laptop, my graphics card supports higher then 800 x 600 but when I installed UBUNTU it won't give me anything else?
[12:55] <ardchoille> lisapc: See what cafuego_ just said, looks much easier than installing and learning a new app
[12:55] <lisapc> cafuego, thanks a lot!! :)
[12:55] <MadDog011> How do I unload the NVIDIA kernel?
[12:55] <lisapc> cafuego, will that leave my AVI?
[12:55] <cafuego_> lisapc: Why wouldn't it?
[12:55] <lisapc> cafuego, ok :-)
[12:56] <DarkX> Yay i have steam n all my counterstrike games working fine in linux
[12:56] <cafuego_> ffmpeg -i foo.avi -f dvd foo.mpg
[12:56] <bruenig> tovid is really easy for avi to dvd mpg
[12:56] <DarkX> oops that was ment for #offtopic
[12:56] <DarkX> heh
[12:56] <Factory> DarkX, Nice. Is steam native or is it underwine?
[12:56] <wes_1977> can I unload a module after my system boots? If so, what cmd is used?
[12:56] <Factory> Ah, you can msg it if you want, DarkX
[12:56] <cafuego_> outputs a dvd compliant MPEG4/MP3 file.
[12:57] <DarkX> using crossover linux pro
[12:57] <lisapc> cafuego, that command didnt work: Unknown input or output format: dvd-pal
[12:57] <DarkX> i will never use windows ever again :D
[12:57] <nixnoob> i have a weird problem compiling a new kernel does anyone want to see the pastebin?

[12:57] <Factory> DarkX, Ubuntu File Storage =)
[12:57] <bruenig> !ati | MadDog011

[12:57] <DarkX> MadDog011, which driver
[12:58] <EdBoy> How do I get Wine to work? xD
[12:58] <lisapc> cafuego, what do I ned to change in that command?  remove the pal word?
[12:58] <bruenig> EdBoy, you install it then you do "wine /path/to/exe"
[12:58] <cafuego_> ffmpeg -i foo.avi -f dvd foo.mpg
[12:58] <MadDog011> DarkX, Downloaded the .run file
[12:58] <lisapc> cafuego, ok
[12:58] <DarkX> Factory: i mean like UT2004
[12:58] <DarkX> etc
[12:58] <EdBoy> .... oh I get it

[12:58] <DarkX> yeah..UT is coming out on linux nativly
[12:58] <DarkX> looking for a store that might carry it online
[12:58] <DarkX> ya kno?
[12:59] <Jugo23> When is it coming out?
[12:59] <PriceChild> MadDog011, you shouldn't have to unload the old one
[12:59] <Factory> DarkX, Ah I see. I don't know personally =/.
[01:00] <kraypius> Slart, you still there?
[01:00] <Slart> kraypius: yup, find anything?
[01:00] <MadDog011> PriceChild, when I type sh NVIDIA.... I get a error saying: kernel module nvidia appears to already be loaded in your kernel. this may be because it is in use..
[01:00] <MadDog011> it may be in use by the Windows X
[01:01] <kraypius> I figured out how to fix it. just so u know.. u have to go back a step, delete the ext part u intendto use as root, recreate it, and proceed
[01:01] <PriceChild> MadDog011, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[01:01] <MadDog011> what processes do I need to kill to kill the X completely
[01:01] <PriceChild> MadDog011, sudo modprobe -r nvidia
[01:01] <cafuego_> PriceChild: the nviadia installer eally likes X to not be running
[01:01] <Slart> kraypius: ah.. it didn't like it precreated?.. well.. you learn every day =)
[01:01] <PriceChild> cafuego_, way ahead of you ;)
[01:01] <Moniker42> hey, keyboard issue. how do i set it to a UK keyboard? (i expect problems in this by the way i just want to make sure im going about it the right way in the first place) :)

[01:02] <skogen> hello
[01:02] <MadDog011> I am using XORG
[01:02] <MadDog011> I think
[01:02] <skogen> can anyone help me with apache?
[01:03] <veganri> hi, does someone know how to make xgamma permanent when booting
[01:03] <Kikkoman> What program should I burn Ubuntu dvd in?
[01:03] <PriceChild> !anyone | skogen
[01:03] <ubotu> skogen: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[01:03] <veganri> try k3n kikko
[01:03] <Kikkoman> Eh
[01:03] <Kikkoman> Is that for windows?
[01:03] <veganri> try nero on windows
[01:03] <Kikkoman> Ok
[01:03] <Moniker42> skogen, he just likes using factoids, ask a question - or try #apache
[01:03] <Kikkoman> What do I do though
[01:03] <Kikkoman> I mean
[01:03] <veganri> say burn iso
[01:03] <DarkX> Factory, http://www.lokigames.com/
[01:04] <DarkX> ;)
[01:04] <Kikkoman> Do I just burn the iso straight up?
[01:04] <veganri> yes there is a choice to burn an iso
[01:04] <cables> Kikkoman, there's a free ISO burner if you need one.
[01:04] <Kikkoman> What is it?
[01:04] <Factory> DarkX, Woo. Never even considered to look for loki's website. Thank you =D
[01:04] <cables> Kikkoman, the free one?
[01:04] <veganri> it should be pretty obvious
[01:04] <Kikkoman> Yeah
[01:04] <Moniker42> skogen, !lamp has a good guide to follow if youre setting up apache for the first time
[01:04] <shatrat> Kikkoman, burn as slow as possible to minimize errors.
[01:04] <Moniker42> hey, keyboard issue. how do i set it to a UK keyboard? (i expect problems in this by the way i just want to make sure im going about it the right way in the first place) :)
[01:04] <Kikkoman> I have Nero, but it's not installed on the compy with a dvd burner :D
[01:04] <cables> !who | Kikkoman
[01:04] <ubotu> Kikkoman: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[01:04] <cables> Kikkoman, http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm
[01:05] <shatrat> Moniker42, I havent done it, but cant you do it in System / Preferences / Keyboard?
[01:05] <veganri> hi, does someone know how to make xgamma permanent when booting
[01:05] <Moniker42> shatrat, yes, but i get loads of weird X server errors when i select UK
[01:05] <skogen> Moniker42: where do i find this guide?
[01:05] <crusoe> Anyone know how to change permissions on a hard drive?
[01:05] <Moniker42> !lamp | skogen
[01:05] <ubotu> skogen: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[01:06] <veganri> ie if i want to add terminal commands when i boot ubuntu, how do i do that
[01:06] <Moniker42> shatrat, and the default US english which ive selected now should just have a couple of keys wrong but instead, loads of them are wrong.
[01:06] <grayscale_> c' qualche italiano?
[01:07] <crusoe> Anyone know how to change permissions on a hard drive?
[01:07] <Moniker42> !italiano | grayscale
[01:07] <ubotu> grayscale: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[01:07] <grayscale_> grazie nn lo sapevo :)
[01:07] <Moniker42> grayscale, i have no idea what you just said ;)
[01:07] <victori_> d
[01:07] <shatrat> Moniker42, makes me glad I speak american like elvis and jesus.   Good luck.
[01:07] <crusoe> Anyone know how to change permissions on a hard drive?
[01:08] <Moniker42> shatrat, shame the effink printscreen isnt working :|
[01:08] <PanzerMKZ> chmod?
[01:08] <lisapc> cafuego, is it normal for the mpeg to be half size of the AVI?
[01:08] <cafuego_> lisapc: Depends on the AVI eh?
[01:08] <shatrat> Moniker42, check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for lines that start with EE and youll get xorg errors
[01:09] <veganri> mpg could be 1/10 size of avi
[01:09] <cafuego_> or 3/4
[01:09] <lisapc> cafuego, that end mpeg is all blocky and sound is horrid.  How can I convert thiis AVI and keep the quality?
[01:09] <cafuego_> or larger
[01:09] <Moniker42> shatrat, pm
[01:10] <lisapc> is there any way to convert an AVI to MPEG and not lose sound or video quality? ffmpeg made it horrid :P
[01:10] <cables> lisapc, AVI is a container format... what's inside it?
[01:10] <PanzerMKZ> transcode?
[01:10] <PanzerMKZ> the proggie
[01:10] <crdlb> lisapc, mencoder will do a good job
[01:10] <cables> lisapc, try raising the bitrate on the mpeg. You might want to try "mencoder" with x264
[01:10] <lisapc> cables, a video
[01:10] <lisapc> crdlb, ok thanks
[01:11] <veganri> does someone know how to add terminal commands when booting ubuntu, how do i do that
[01:11] <cafuego_> add -b 2048 and -ab 320
[01:11] <greenhobo21> Anyone know how to get Soldat running on Linux Mint?
[01:11] <Cisyouc> veganri: what do you mean?
[01:11] <cafuego_> that'll make it a 2Mbit video stream and 320Kbit audio stream
[01:11] <lisapc> cableroy, mencoder x264 foo.avi foo.mpg ?
[01:11] <lisapc> cables, mencoder x264 foo.avi foo.mpg ?
[01:11] <cafuego_> I thought you were making a dvd?
[01:11] <veganri> cis:  i want to be able to add xgamma commands when i boot ubuntu so i can change my monitor gamma without having to redo the settings each boot
[01:12] <cables> lisapc, nope, I'll send you the command in a sec... it's sorta hard.
[01:12] <cafuego_> What you using x264 for?
[01:12] <lisapc> cafuego, i want to make that AVI play in a DVD player
[01:12] <lisapc> cables, ty
[01:12] <cables> lisapc, the manpage for mencoder is like 100 pages long, hold on a sec
[01:12] <lisapc> cables, ok
[01:12] <greenhobo21> Get cables.
[01:12] <Anabelle> hi, im trying to upgrade from dapper to edgy, but the update-manager disapears when downloading the second file of the upgrade tool.... what can i do??
[01:12] <cables> lisapc, see if there's a frontend anywhere...
[01:12] <cafuego_> Just up the bitrate in ffmpeg
[01:12] <lisapc> cafuego, because cables said so :)
[01:12] <cables> lisapc, like cafuego_ said, have you tried raising the bitrate?
[01:13] <Cisyouc> veganri: if you make a bash script and drop it in /etc/init.d, you can add it to the init boot processes with /usr/sbin/update-rc.d
[01:13] <cafuego_> ffmpeg -i foo.avi -f dvd -n 2048 -ab 320 foo.mpg
[01:13] <lisapc> cables, ill look for that
[01:13] <bruenig> lisapc, you should install tovid, it has a very easy syntax (tovid -in whatever.avi -out whatever.mpg)
[01:13] <cables> lisapc, can I pm you? This may take some troubleshooting to get the command right.
[01:13] <nixnoob> can someone help me with this http://pastebin.com/898545 i get it when compiling a new kernel?
[01:13] <veganri> cis:  i just edit init.d and use the usr.... command in terminal ?
[01:13] <veganri> or what is a bash script
[01:13] <lisapc> bruenig, ok ty
[01:13] <lisapc> cables, yes

[01:30] <nixnoob> pricechild could it be that i need to compile a vanilla 2.6.17 kernel and patch it?
[01:30] <PriceChild> nixnoob, Still not a clue :)
[01:30] <PriceChild> nixnoob, I know little about lots :)
[01:30] <nixnoob> pricechild lollers
[01:31] <skel> nixnoob: why do you want to up the interrupt, just curious
[01:31] <sherlock> anyone know a good guide to update an ubuntu kernel?
[01:31] <nixnoob> skel want to run a counters-trike source server need 500 fps serverside
[01:31] <nixnoob> skel with a low interrupt fps is stuck at 250
[01:32] <skel> nixnoob: ok maybe I'm a noob but isn't the fps "frames per second" and isn't that client side rendering?
[01:32] <nixnoob> skel i successfully compiled a 2.6.20 kernel with 1000hz however 2.6.20 needs to be patched in order to support the fglrx driver.....
[01:32] <nixnoob> skel im talking about server side fps, as in the number of times the server refreshes object positions
[01:33] <skel> nixnoob: ah ok so its not really fps, its something else
[01:33] <nixnoob> skel well on the source server it outputs the stats in FPS but thats what it really means
[01:34] <nixnoob> skel basically the server cant poll faster than the cpu....
[01:34] <skel> nixnoob: the client cpu?
[01:34] <nixnoob> skel no the server.
[01:34] <nixnoob> skel it affects shot registry and such
[01:35] <nixnoob> skel, as opposed to a smooth fluid motion on the client side
[01:35] <nixnoob> which is totally seperate
[01:35] <delight> how can i find out which package contains a certain installed file ?
[01:35] <skel> nixnoob: hmmm.. ok. so again I'm no expert on game servers let alone counter-strike, but I'd be very surprised that cs server is touching your fglrx driver at all
[01:36] <nixnoob> skel, its not its the 2.6.20 kernel that has a bug in it
[01:36] <lisapc> cables, its turning my 300MB avi into 2gig mpeg :P hehe
[01:36] <skel> nixnoob: I'm not trying to argue, I just think you may have a red-herring
[01:36] <cables> lisapc, lucky DVD's are 4.7 gigs
[01:36] <lisapc> cables,  hehe
[01:37] <nixnoob> skel, again its not the server affecting my fglrx its the new kernel 2.6.20 that i compiled FOR the server
[01:37] <active> sudo echo blacklist bcm43xx >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[01:37] <lisapc> cables, why does it turn 300MB avi into 2 gig mpeg?
[01:37] <cables> lisapc, could you tell me what codec's in that AVI? I'm curious... right click, properties, Audio/Video tab
[01:37] <binary0> o... that was not so clever from me... i just did a chmod -R 777 .* from within /var
[01:37] <nixnoob> skel, the 2.6.20 kernel has a bug with the fglrx driver
[01:37] <active> i get  permission dennied any ideas pleae
[01:37] <cables> lisapc, depends on the bitrate you put in and the type of video
[01:37] <crusoe> I've got an Audigy 2 ZS, and I'm not getting any sound? Any ideas?
[01:37] <totowroe> hi... Would anybody here be willing to help a n00b? I just ran my first install of ubuntu... I am also unfamiliar with IRC.
[01:37] <britt> how come i can start beryl-manager fine by terminal, but the process never loads when i select "Beryl Manager" from the menu?

[01:38] <PriceChild> britt, > #ubuntu-effects
[01:38] <lisapc> cables, should bitrate be lower then?
[01:38] <cables> lisapc, just leave it, you're burning to DVD anyway...
[01:38] <skel> nixnoob: right.. but regardless.. cs server shouldn't be doing ANY rendering.. its only responsible for connection handling, right?
[01:38] <britt> seperate area for beryl issues?
[01:38] <lisapc> cables, vrc_maxrate=9800:vbitrate=5000
[01:38] <PriceChild> britt, yeah
[01:38] <britt> thz
[01:38] <britt> thx*
[01:39] <totowroe> Why won't my onboard wireless controller connect?  it isnt even showing on the device manager
[01:39] <cables> lisapc, if it starts getting too big, you could just stop it.
[01:39] <cables> Does anyone know of a good mencoder frontend?
[01:39] <PriceChild> totowroe, what chipset is it?
[01:39] <skel> nixnoob: ie, you should be able to setup cs server and then remove the video card entirely and startup your server (provided you have rc scripts) and it should work fine.

[01:40] <Kmikaze> problem with dyndns
[01:40] <Gigs2> when I rebooted after a power failure just now my time was off by an hour for a while, it was like the daylight savings change didn't get saved to the hwclock... is this common?
[01:40] <skel> hwclock doesn't do DST
[01:40] <skel> your System adjusts
[01:40] <Gigs2> then why was it off by an hour just now for like 5 minutes after my system booted?
[01:40] <Gigs2> shouldn't the OS have adjusted immediately?
[01:41] <skel> not sure, just saying its not the cmos clock :)
[01:41] <cables> totall_6_7, in case you're wondering, I tab-completed too early :)
[01:41] <skel> yeah it should have adjusted
[01:41] <skel> Gigs2: did you update tzdata ?
[01:41] <Gigs2> it did update last sunday correctly
[01:41] <Gigs2> the power failed today though
[01:41] <Gigs2> and when it came back up it was an hour off for a while
[01:41] <lisapc> cables, im going to try Tovid
[01:41] <skel> Gigs2: then it self corrected or you had to?
[01:42] <totall_6_7> cables: hehe i know just playing :D
[01:42] <Gigs2> it corrected, I assume using ntp
[01:42] <Gigs2> no actually it looks like ntp is off
[01:42] <Gigs2> weird
[01:42] <active> sudo echo blacklist bcm43xx >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[01:42] <skel> Gigs2: hmm yeah thats weird..
[01:42] <active> i get  permission dennied any ideas pleae
[01:42] <skel> Gigs2: maybe you sync to someone who didn't update :-P
[01:43] <Gigs2> skel: not unless ubuntu ran ntpdate on its own
[01:43] <Gigs2> because ntpd isn't on
[01:43] <skel> Gigs2: wonder if the powerfailure ill-affected the cmos clock?
[01:44] <Gigs2> skel: I'm actually not too concerned about it on my desktop system but I wonder if this might affect servers
[01:44] <Gigs2> like things that do kerberous on boot or nfs mounts might have trouble at boot time if the time is off for a while
[01:44] <skel> yeah
[01:45] <LordOfHeat> hello

[01:45] <mindstate> is there software i can map keyboard buttons to a usb gamepad buttons?
[01:45] <LordOfHeat> I have a problem, when i go to hibernation or suspend i get this error pnp: failed to activate device 00:0d
[01:45] <LordOfHeat> what does it mean?
[01:46] <Gigs2> device 00:0d failed to activate
[01:46] <Gigs2> :P
[01:46] <LordOfHeat> lol
[01:47] <PriceChild> LordOfHeat, "lspci" will tell you which bit doesn't like it
[01:47] <xtknight> heh
[01:47] <xtknight> well
[01:47] <xtknight> *phew* back to the drawing board...i mean eating cookies and answering ubuntu questions
[01:47] <LordOfHeat> with lspci | grep 00:0d i get nothing
[01:48] <Cisyouc> xtknight: cookies? I'm jealous
[01:48] <xtknight> this would be a good job for retirees :P
[01:48] <lisapc> cables, it tuened out good. it turned it into widescreen too :)  from 300MB to 1.6Gig to be exact
[01:48] <cables> lisapc, not bad
[01:48] <cables> lisapc, turned it to widescreen?
[01:48] <lisapc> cables, it turned out better and widescreen :P
[01:48] <lisapc> cables, but it doesnt look stretched
[01:48] <cables> lisapc, it stretched it? weird...
[01:48] <cables> lisapc, how is that...
[01:48] <lisapc> cables, yeah
[01:49] <lisapc> no idea lol
[01:49] <ardchoille> xtknight: hahaha
[01:49] <Cisyouc> LordOfHeat: use lspci -n | grep 00:0d
[01:49] <cables> lisapc, cropped it maybe?
[01:49] <LordOfHeat> Cisyouc, still nothing
[01:49] <Cisyouc> Wait, no, I take that back.
[01:49] <Cisyouc> Yeah,
[01:49] <lisapc> no idea
[01:49] <stodge> Hey folks - is it easy to configure compiz/beryl with NVIDIA driver in Ubuntu?

[01:50] <ubotu> stodge: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[01:50] <dequeued> I couldn't find any ftp servers in the "package manager"
[01:51] <nixnoob> skel, you are correct about removing the video card but the server is a laptop and i use it for playing games sometimes as well
[01:51] <xtknight> dequeued, apt-cache search ftpd
[01:51] <Cisyouc> LordOfHeat: the package pnpbios-tools includes the app /usr/bin/lspnp -- try using this to find what device 00:0d is
[01:51] <skel> nixnoob: yeah, but I'm just saying that cs has no dependency on graphic rendering, so bug in fglrx or not, I really doubt its your bottleneck
[01:52] <dequeued> I wonder why it didn't appear in the Gnome app
[01:52] <xtknight> dequeued, not sure.  it does for me.  are your f t p and d keys different than mine?
[01:52] <xtknight> search 'description and name'
[01:53] <nixnoob> skel i kno its not, the bottleneck is the kernel timer interrupt frequency, the standard on ubuntu is 500hz i guess, i just compiled the 2.6.20 kernel with 1000hz and its fine except for the fact that it has issues with the fglrx driver. thats all really.
[01:53] <xtknight> eh
[01:53] <xtknight> tickless is pretty cool, too
[01:53] <xtknight> bottleneck for what is the kernel int freq tho?
[01:54] <EADG> !kde > EADG
[01:54] <nixnoob> xtkngiht the server side fps on my CS:S server
[01:54] <xtknight> nixnoob, i tend to think it's the game engine or sv_fps var in CS :o
[01:55] <chalmer> how do i access tha "terminal ?
[01:55] <nixnoob> xtknight, no i kno its the interrupt because when i use a kernel with 1000hz the server side fps shoots up to 500
[01:55] <xtknight> chalmer, app->acces->term
[01:55] <bruenig> chalmer, alt + f2, then type gnome-terminal

[01:58] <soleblaze> anyone know if there's a program to add/change tags to an ALAC file under linux?
[01:58] <xtknight> LordOfHeat, well d just means decimal afaik
[01:58] <nixnoob> xtknight to where?
[01:58] <xtknight> LordOfHeat, so 0:00
[01:58] <xtknight> nixnoob, my serv space, hold up
[01:58] <nixnoob> xtknight you are myhero
[01:58] <OldGeezer> 00:0d is hexadecimal for 13
[01:58] <xtknight> nixnoob, i386?
[01:58] <xtknight> oh true hexa, didnt think of that :P
[01:58] <nixnoob> i386 is good
[01:59] <xtknight> nixnoob, crap, it's 200 megs lol
[01:59] <nixnoob> WOW
[01:59] <xtknight> bleh let me investigate this
[01:59] <LordOfHeat> xtknight, if it is 0:00 then it is my graphic card
[01:59] <gonzaloarg> i have searched in google and in some forums and i cant find any solution
[01:59] <xtknight> LordOfHeat, nah nm it's 0d in hexadecimal
[02:00] <xtknight> nixnoob, my initrd is 40 megs and vmlinuz about 1.6 so obviously the whole thing isnt 200
[02:00] <nixnoob> xtknight i was just about to say how is tht possible my 2.6.20*.deb is 17MB
[02:00] <LucianSolaris> HELP!  I got gnomebaker to burn MP3s, except when I burn my cue file (which refers to a large mp3) it errors cdrdao was not compiled with mp3 support
[02:01] <LucianSolaris> how do I compile cdrdao with MP3 support?
[02:01] <xtknight> LucianSolaris, google it, dl a source tarball for it, get associated dev pkgs
[02:01] <xtknight> LucianSolaris, ./configure --with-mp3 support
[02:01] <cables> LucianSolaris, you could un-mp3 it and then burn it if you don't want to compile something.
[02:01] <snowpunk98> Is there anyway to set Xchat to autojoin this server and certain channels I want?
[02:01] <cables> snowpunk98, I'll tell you in #xchat
[02:01] <poningru> LucianSolaris: go install k3b it has that support
[02:02] <LucianSolaris> k3b does NOT nore does it read CUE files for mp3s
[02:02] <LucianSolaris> or it errors on CUE because it doesn't burn mp3
[02:02] <gonzaloarg> its a common problem in 64bits i read
[02:02] <LucianSolaris> this is 32bit

[02:03] <upd> how can i change  calor in terminal localhost@localdomain:~$ this
[02:04] <Cisyouc> upd: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/articles/prompt-magic.xml is a good guide.
[02:04] <bruenig> upd, that question was incoherent
[02:04] <ardchoille> upd: There's an example of that in ~/.bashprofile I believe
[02:04] <xtknight> does a kernel image need to contain anything more than vmlinuz and initrd to install properly?  do i need the /lib/modules inside kernel image, etc?  its like 400mb
[02:04] <LucianSolaris> bruenig it wasn't, but let's see if this works
[02:04] <upd> ok tnx
[02:04] <nixnoob> xtknight the two .deb files should be enough...
[02:05] <nixnoob> xtknight, the image and the headers
[02:05] <xtknight> nixnoob, heck if i know dude, tihs is Feisty they prolly have debug stuff or something making it huge, i really dont know
[02:05] <xtknight> nixnoob, image is 200mb, headers is 20 or so
[02:05] <cables> Is it safe to remove linux-headers packages?
[02:05] <xtknight> nixnoob, hows about i walk you through compiling <IP_ADDRESS> on your sys
[02:05] <nixnoob> xtknight, lol how is fiesty does it have xgl/beryl support standard?
[02:05] <xtknight> nixnoob, nope, they ditched that idea other than that i like it, better core 2 duo platform support
[02:06] <nixnoob> xtknight, wife is nagging me so i doubt i can do it now.
[02:06] <ardchoille> nixnoob: I heard that was left out of feisty due to being still unstable
[02:06] <xtknight> nixnoob, poor baby
[02:06] <xtknight> :P
[02:06] <gonzaloarg> where i can find some help about it?

[02:10] <LucianSolaris> i'd love 3ddesktop to update all its desktops once a minute or once every 30 seconds at low priority (as not to disrupt my media, etc)
[02:11] <xtknight> ofer, sorry dunno
[02:11] <cables> LucianSolaris, for it to do that, it has to switch to the desktops.
[02:12] <|caicai|> how i can edit the program GRUB??
[02:12] <cables> LucianSolaris, there's a command to get it to update, but it cycles through all of them.
[02:12] <LucianSolaris> too bad it couldn't just ask the DE
[02:12] <cables> |caicai|, how do you want to change it?
[02:12] <jamesw> /j/w 8
[02:12] <|caicai|> no, i want to eliminate some lines of it
[02:13] <xtknight> |caicai|, what's the goal?
[02:14] <xtknight> Crockett, mine has an ntp service
[02:14] <|caicai|> when i update my ubuntu it apears more lines on it then i want to eliminate some lines
[02:14] <n1ce> connect #ubuntu
[02:14] <Jetfighter> >.<
[02:14] <xtknight> |caicai|, you mean you have more kernels than you'd like at the grub startup selection screen?
[02:14] <xtknight> |caicai|, `gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst`
[02:15] <|caicai|> yes
[02:15] <xtknight> remove at your will
[02:15] <Jetfighter> WHAT the hell?
[02:15] <|caicai|> tks xtknight
[02:15] <xtknight> Jetfighter, i dont know, you tell me?
[02:15] <bruenig> !ohmy | Jetfighter
[02:15] <ubotu> Jetfighter: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[02:15] <Jetfighter> I'm running hamachi. It refuses to make sense.
[02:15] <Jetfighter> HELL isn't a bad word.
[02:15] <xtknight> ah hamachi , used that before
[02:15] <bruenig> !ohmy | Jetfighter
[02:16] <xtknight> !ask | Jetfighter
[02:16] <ubotu> Jetfighter: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:16] <JohnPhys> xtknight:  it might be better to have him change the "howmany" line to 2 (keep last 2 kernels) and run update-grub
[02:16] <xtknight> JohnPhys, interesting never knew about it.  how would it affect the windows lines?
[02:16] <Jetfighter> Hell. xtknight, I use sudo hamachi start and it says starting...ok. I hamachi join network pass, it says it doesn't appear to be running,
[02:17] <xtknight> guess it ran
[02:17] <JohnPhys> xtknight:  It didn't in my case, nor did it affect my debian lines.  It only affects the lines in the "automagically generated" section.
[02:17] <cables> Can anyone explain "System Load" to me? How is it computed?
[02:17] <Jetfighter> Did you say something? Sorry :(
[02:17] <xtknight> JohnPhys, ahh cool.  yeah perhaps he should check it out.  |caicai| ^^^^
[02:18] <Jetfighter> Hell. xtknight, I use sudo hamachi start and it says starting...ok. I hamachi join network pass, it says it doesn't appear to be running,
[02:18] <xtknight> Jetfighter, nah not really.  heh.. did you run sudo tuncfg sudo hamachi init sudo hamachi start..
[02:18] <|caicai|> is done
[02:18] <|caicai|> thank you very much
[02:18] <Jetfighter> Yeah, it's worked once before
[02:18] <JohnPhys> xtknight:  I'm also not sure of the howmany value gets reset to "all" on the installation of a new kernel, but if it *doesn't* I keep mine at 2, so I'd have the new (potentially bad) kernel, and the old (definitely working) kernel.
[02:18] <MadDog011> :( I have installed the RUN file from the www.nvidia.com site, and it has kinda killed my linux box, the performance is choppy and I think it isnt accelerated... what do I do....
[02:18] <xtknight> |caicai|, note the howmany value spoken about above by JohnPhys ^^^
[02:18] <xtknight> MadDog011, um slower than before?
[02:18] <bruenig> !ati | MadDog011
[02:18] <ubotu> MadDog011: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:19] <Jetfighter> xtknight, wildfire@Wildfire-Laptop:~/Desktop$ sudo tuncfg sudo hamachi init sudo hamachi start
[02:19] <Jetfighter> tuncfg: already running
[02:19] <xtknight> Jetfighter, lol i meant separate commands i was just too lazy to type the commas
[02:19] <wilo> hello guys
[02:19] <MadDog011> xtknight, yes slower
[02:19] <|caicai|> ok
[02:19] <bruenig> Jetfighter, is that all on one line?
[02:19] <wilo> i am after some elp with installing a system monitor for ubuntu
[02:19] <MadDog011> xtknight, Alot slower :)
[02:19] <Monoxide> what is the command to start install from text mode on 6.10 live cd
[02:19] <xtknight> MadDog011, alright so you using vesa driver now i assume?  or nvidia...what's actually running now
[02:20] <xtknight> Monoxide, gotta get the alternate cd
[02:20] <Monoxide> because if It start gnome it freezes
[02:20] <MadDog011> xtknight, it says the driver is nvidia
[02:20] <MadDog011> in the xorg.conf
[02:20] <Monoxide> u have a link
[02:20] <Jetfighter> I got it
[02:20] <xtknight> MadDog011, alright is glx enabled in extensinos or w/e
[02:20] <Jetfighter> I forgot sudo on hamachi join network
[02:20] <xtknight> extensions*
[02:20] <MadDog011> xtknight, glx is enabled
[02:20] <MadDog011> I do nto know if it works thought
[02:20] <xtknight> MadDog011, glxinfo | grep rendering
[02:21] <MadDog011> xtknight, direct rendering: Yes
[02:21] <xtknight> MadDog011, might need to change acceleration method to XAA or something, dont really know
[02:22] <xtknight> MadDog011, what video card
[02:22] <MadDog011> xtknight, where do you do that
[02:22] <xtknight> Monoxide, yes hold on
[02:22] <xtknight> MadDog011, dont know actually
[02:22] <EdBoy> Anyone remember that game where you race tux down like a glacier or something?
[02:22] <MadDog011> xtknight, Ge Force 4200 TI
[02:22] <xtknight> EdBoy, penguin racer
[02:22] <EdBoy> and it went really really fast
[02:22] <xtknight> or tuxracer
[02:22] <xtknight> !info tuxracer | EdBoy
[02:22] <ubotu> edboy: Package tuxracer does not exist in edgy, edgy-backports, edgy-seveas
[02:22] <EdBoy> Tux Racer is go karts.

[02:23] <EdBoy> Found it!
[02:23] <EdBoy> xtknight was right
[02:23] <bruenig> stole my kill
[02:23] <xtknight> i can never find the ubuntu cd isos with google
[02:23] <EdBoy> lol
[02:23] <xtknight> GRR
[02:23] <EdBoy> One of my favorite games.
[02:23] <fastfinger> i need help with network, PPPoe connection but i dont think its dsl, it is cable
[02:23] <erstazi> The GNOME keyboard manager is very touchy in Edgy, it crashed more than once and now the icons for the menu's are not showing.
[02:23] <EdBoy> xtknight: why not try their website? o_0
[02:23] <xtknight> i only see mirrors in africa lol
[02:24] <EdBoy> where do you live?
[02:24] <xtknight> us
[02:24] <EdBoy> so why are you getting african mirrors
[02:24] <xtknight> just trying to find the link for alternate for Monoxide
[02:24] <EdBoy> ah
[02:24] <bruenig> xtknight, oh too bad you can't watch all those w32codecs files
[02:24] <xtknight> bruenig, huh?
[02:24] <Monoxide> same here
[02:24] <bruenig> or play encrypted dvds
[02:24] <fastfinger> can anyone help me with that?
[02:24] <PriceChild> bruenig, w32codecs isn't actually needed anymore...
[02:24] <xtknight> ahhh
[02:24] <Monoxide> but I am having no luck
[02:24] <xtknight> hehe
[02:24] <bruenig> wa
[02:24] <xtknight> right, as if i don't.. ;P
[02:24] <PriceChild> bruenig, ffmpeg should do everything you need
[02:24] <jrib> xtknight: it's usually faster to go straight to cdimages.ubuntu.com
[02:24] <|caicai|> xtknight,  i remove some of the kernels but when i update grub they come back
[02:24] <treb0r> get vlc
[02:24] <xtknight> jrib, thanks thats what im looking for
[02:24] <JohnPhys> PriceChild:  why isn't w32codecs needed?
[02:25] <xtknight> |caicai|, you need to remove them from automagic ro something
[02:25] <wes_1977> I'll pay somebody $50 if they can get my laptop connected to my wireless network. In fairness, I know the wireless card and router work fine in WindowsXP as recently as this morning (I installed it just to confirm wireless card working)
[02:25] <PriceChild> JohnPhys, ffmpeg "should" do everything you need
[02:25] <treb0r> just get vlc
[02:25] <xtknight> ffmpeg has wmv9 support
[02:25] <xtknight> no support for wma3, bwt
[02:25] <xtknight> still need w32
[02:25] <JohnPhys> |caicai| :  "update-grub" looks at teh menu.lst file for options, then at the installed kernels, and makes a new menu.lst
[02:25] <wes_1977> also, if anyone is interested, I've been through everything I can find on the internet of things to try and so far nothing has worked
[02:25] <xtknight> jrib, those are dvds
[02:26] <wes_1977> and I know the chipset is supported by the madwifi drivers
[02:26] <wilo> can someone help install a system monitor on ubuntu
[02:26] <wilo> please
[02:26] <JohnPhys> |caicai| : so if you remove the kernel entries from menu.lst, when you update grub those will be restored
[02:26] <Monoxide> I can do a dvd install
[02:26] <Monoxide> if you can find me an alternitive image of it
[02:26] <Monoxide> :D
[02:26] <JohnPhys> |caicai| :  try changing the "howmany = all" line in menu.lst to "howmany = 2"
[02:26] <xtknight> this is driving me nuts
[02:26] <wilo> HELLO
[02:26] <JohnPhys> |caicai| :  then update grub
[02:27] <xtknight> Monoxide, there you go sheesh http://releases.ubuntu.com/edgy/
[02:27] <Monoxide> thanks alot
[02:27] <|caicai|> ok i will do that
[02:27] <xtknight> Monoxide, dvd also has alternate install right on it along with livecd....well as far as i know.. but use the above for sure
[02:27] <robjo> ntp client, do I just run ntpd after setting up ntp.conf?
[02:27] <Monoxide> now my laptop will run
[02:27] <xtknight> robjo, hrm just let ubuntu handle it?
[02:27] <jrib> xtknight: weird, I thought they had them all there
[02:27] <null377> can some one help me with beryl
[02:27] <xtknight> robjo, right click at top right adjust date and time, sync with a time server etc
[02:28] <robjo> xtknight, what do you mean let ubuntu handle it?
[02:28] <K3nto> !ddraw
[02:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ddraw - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:28] <xtknight> robjo, i never had to touch an ntp file to get it to sync with NTP
[02:28] <thiesen> bruenig: Yo man... still there??
[02:28] <xtknight> unless u want to tweak it, nothing against that.  but ur just making more work for urself if you just want a simple ntp thing
[02:29] <thiesen> bruenig: That thing about rc.local rocks... :-)
[02:29] <whileimhere> I am using SoundConverter to convert some ogg to mp3s and the mp3 option under prefs is greyed out. Can anyone tell me why?
[02:29] <JohnPhys> |caicai|: after you update grub, you can check the menu.lst file to see how many ubuntu kernels are there without rebooting
[02:29] <bruenig> thiesen, yeah very handy
[02:29] <robjo> xtknight, I would like ntp client (ntpd?) to run when I'm connected to the internet but obviously not when I am offline
[02:29] <JohnPhys> |caicai|:   and let me know if it works!
[02:29] <|caicai|> JohnPhys,  it worked
[02:29] <xtknight> robjo, ntpd is ntp daemon, an ntp server
[02:29] <|caicai|> tks alot
[02:29] <globe> is there a package to run kde aps under gnome?
[02:30] <thiesen> bruenig: But no one other thing... how do I manually stop and restart the server since it gets started via rc.local??
[02:30] <jrib> globe: just install the kde app
[02:30] <stoney> hi
[02:30] <wildfire_> exit
[02:30] <xtknight> globe, should be able to do it with Qt libs.  they are still ELF linux apps
[02:30] <bruenig> globe, just sudo apt-get install whatever you want and all the kde libs will be installed to run that particular kde package
[02:30] <robjo> xtknight, well that's not what I am after then
[02:30] <bruenig> thiesen, the same way you would manually stop or restart it if you had started it yourself without rc.local
[02:30] <wes_1977> anyone that can help troubleshoot a wireless networking problem?
[02:30] <null377> does the ATI Radeon 200 graphix card work with beryl?
[02:30] <xtknight> robjo, what you are after is right in the ubuntu time options.  right click the clock, goto Adjust Date & Time, select Sync with Internet server.  you won't have to worry about anything
[02:30] <robjo> migrating from SUSE, they had a script in etc/init.d whcih started an ntp client anything similar here?
[02:31] <stoney> can someone pm me and help me setup a wireless connection from (basicly) scratch? please :)
[02:31] <jrib> !wireless | stoney
[02:31] <ubotu> stoney: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[02:31] <Nergar> hello, can someone tell me how to format a usb stick in ubuntu?
[02:31] <jrib> Nergar: use gparted
[02:31] <globe> jrib: it gives me errors about the kde inter-process communication. "Could not open network socket. Please check that the 'dcopserer' program is running!"
[02:31] <stoney> ubotu, thanks :)
[02:31] <xtknight> Nergar, format with VFAT?
[02:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about thanks :) - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:31] <xtknight> globe, sudo rm -rf ~/.kde; try again
[02:31] <Nergar> well, FAT32
[02:31] <bruenig> fat16 is perfect
[02:31] <xtknight> !thanks | stoneey
[02:31] <ubotu> stoneey: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[02:31] <robjo> xtknight, I'd like the synch to happen without me clicking anything, but I am not always online
[02:32] <xtknight> robjo, that's ok.  it simply wont do it when ur not online
[02:32] <Nergar> xtknight, i need it for windows FAT32 is good??
[02:32] <xtknight> Nergar, either that or ntfs.  but id choose fat32 for usb sticks
[02:32] <xtknight> Nergar, first unmount it
[02:32] <thiesen> bruenig: I know I can stop it from x... but then I suppose I have to start it from an terminal again...
[02:32] <Nergar> ok
[02:33] <bruenig> thiesen, right you would
[02:33] <Nergar> xtknight, done
[02:33] <bruenig> thiesen, you have to help the machine along, unless something has some definite pattern to it
[02:33] <xtknight> Nergar, then, `sudo mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/scdx` where scdx is your usb stick
[02:33] <bruenig> then you can script it and cron it
[02:33] <thiesen> bruenig: Hmmm... would it be possible to register the csserver as an actual service??
[02:33] <Monoxide>  http://releases.ubuntu.com/edgy/ is the dvd but I dont see it saying alternitive
[02:33] <globe> xtknight: sweet, thanks.  Why did that fix my problem?
[02:33] <Nergar> ok thanx xtknight
[02:33] <Monoxide> I had them ship me 606 6.10
[02:33] <robjo> xtknight, thanks I'll try it and see what happens.
[02:33] <bruenig> thiesen, don't know
[02:33] <Monoxide> and ect
[02:34] <xtknight> globe, reset the kde stuff
[02:34] <xtknight> globe, it reset the kde stuff*
[02:34] <Monoxide> I Ican enter text mode
[02:34] <jrib> Monoxide: scroll down, it says "alternate"
[02:34] <Monoxide> ok
[02:34] <Monoxide> ty
[02:34] <thiesen> bruenig: oh... but it sure would be nice to do that...
[02:34] <globe> xtknight: urm...okay. am I going to have to remember this for the future?
[02:34] <wilo> how do i fix broken dependacies?
[02:34] <xtknight> globe, doubt it.  one time screw up
[02:35] <wilo> i done a sudo synaptic
[02:35] <globe> xtknight: okay.  thanks.
[02:35] <thiesen> bruenig: but that suggestion you gave me did the trick...
[02:35] <jrib> wilo: what caused them?
[02:35] <wilo> globe, do you know how i can fix broken dependacies?
[02:35] <bruenig> thiesen, my suggestions usually do
[02:35] <wilo> i was trying to install a system monitor

[02:38] <thiesen> bruenig: yeah... but you did it first... :-)
[02:38] <xtknight> not me...
[02:38] <EdBoy> xtknight: no, I tried fixing the video settings to make it stop skipping
[02:38] <EdBoy> and it didn't
[02:39] <EdBoy> And slowed down everything else.
[02:39] <EdBoy> Now it's better.

[02:42] <Monoxide> I am unsure of java
[02:42] <bruenig> wilo, install this http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/fontconfig/fontconfig_2.3.2-7ubuntu2_i386.deb
[02:42] <Monoxide> I know you can use the java plugins
[02:42] <Bartek_> my machine is Celeron566Mhz 256 SDRAM 100Mhz
[02:42] <Monoxide> and install it
[02:42] <peacekpr> xtknight, aha.  and "ati" is the proprietary binary?
[02:42] <bruenig> wilo, that is the dependency that libfontconfig is crying about
[02:42] <wilo> it wont let me
[02:42] <xtknight> peacekpr, fglrx is proprietary binary (binary blob)
[02:42] <Monoxide> I am stuck with a 600mhz 128mb ram 100 laptop
[02:42] <jrib> bruenig: maybe we should take a look at wilo's sources.list?  The wrong version had to be installed somehow
[02:42] <stoney> how do i check my kernel version?
[02:42] <wilo> says i have broken dependacies already
[02:42] <xtknight> peacekpr, ati is for older cards, radeon is for r2xx and up i think, ati+radeon are open source
[02:42] <Bartek_> probably gonna upgrade to 500MB
[02:43] <xtknight> stoney, uname -a
[02:43] <Monoxide> 512 does a ubuntu sys good
[02:43] <stoney> thank you
[02:43] <wilo> bruenig: i either have to sudo synaptic or install -f
[02:43] <KeeNaF> hi guys .. i bought a new harddisk and use it as external with enclosure .. the problem is linux did not detect the hdd ... what should i do?
[02:43] <bruenig> jrib, yeah I thought about that, but they are all in main
[02:43] <peacekpr> xtknight, ok - it wasn't exactly clear to me :) ... now i have to figure out Xinerama or MergedFB
[02:43] <Nergar> xtknight, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10295/
[02:43] <jrib> bruenig: well, the versions are the issue, he may have mixed repositories
[02:43] <bruenig> doesn't hurt
[02:43] <bruenig> wilo, pastebin the output of cat /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:44] <xtknight> Nergar, hmm.  doesnt look like your usb key is showing there
[02:44] <JohnPhys> KeeNaF:  try the enclosure in another computer to make sure that it acutally works first, beyond that I'm not sure.  I do know that some kernels just don't play nice with interfaces on some enclosures.
[02:44] <Nergar> xtknight, any ideas then?
[02:44] <xtknight> Nergar, how did you unmount it?
[02:44] <Nergar> sudo umount /media/usbdisk

[02:44] <ping_tu> hello everyone

[02:45] <TheVault> I need some help with Frostwire. I just now installed it and it keeps asking me for my name for the community chat thing and I disabled the thing, and then it keeps asking.

[02:45] <ping_tu> i make binutils in ubuntu, but have some quesstion
[02:45] <KeeNaF> JohnPhys .. yes .. it working ..

[02:46] <bruenig> wilo, yeah
[02:46] <ping_tu> yes
[02:46] <KeeNaF> bruenig .. how is it? .. :D
[02:46] <xtknight> ping_tu, out of curiosity why ?
[02:46] <cisforcojo> jrib: will synclient handle device event changes? everytime i reboot my computer it's different
[02:46] <ping_tu> but regex.c:132: error: previous declaration of malloc was here
[02:46] <xtknight> ping_tu, not sure that it will work with your setup
[02:46] <cisforcojo> /dev/input/event2 for example
[02:46] <xtknight> Nergar, eh, well sudo umount /media/usbdisk
[02:46] <TheVault> Need help with my frostwire problem
[02:46] <cisforcojo> i've tried it but didn't have much luck

[02:47] <xtknight> is there a command to create a DOS partition table?
[02:47] <jrib> cisforcojo: what do you want to accomplish?  Just turning off the touchpad forever?
[02:47] <xtknight> quickie besides fdisk?
[02:47] <cisforcojo> really, i'm not sure WHAT to put in xorg.conf to call the touchpad and find it regardless of hte event
[02:47] <wilo> bruenig: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10297/
[02:47] <bruenig> !synaptics
[02:47] <ubotu> For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad
[02:47] <cisforcojo> jrib: haha nono, i need the touchpad but I hate tapping
[02:47] <xtknight> Nergar, oh well.   `sudo cfdisk /dev/sdb`  make a DOS partition table
[02:48] <cisforcojo> i HAVE tapping disabled but I have to edit my xorg.conf and restart X everytime I reboot my computer ( to direct it to the event the touchpad is running on)
[02:48] <Frogzoo> cisforcojo: is this a synaptics touchpad?
[02:48] <cisforcojo> ALPS
[02:48] <Nergar> xtknight, sudo cfdisk /dev/sdb or sdb1??
[02:48] <erne154> ubuntu houston anyone?
[02:48] <xtknight> Nergar, sdb
[02:49] <jrib> cisforcojo: hmm what version of ubuntu? dapper?
[02:49] <bruenig> wilo, nothing too bad, you are using au and then in other places using just the default, but theoretically they should all have the same packages
[02:49] <xtknight> Nergar, bleh actually just quit out of cfdisk you shouldn't need it
[02:49] <cisforcojo> edgy
[02:49] <cinnix> i need help, i resized my primary ubuntu partition from 70gb - 150gb, now ubuntu seems laggy, somewhat more jumpy. is this common?
[02:49] <TheVault> I need some help with Frostwire please

[02:49] <smo> hi i m checking the fee space on my usb key ( i run ubuntu from my usb key)  and my proc dir is bigggg is it normal 892 mo now ??
[02:49] <Nergar> xtknight, ok
[02:49] <xtknight> Nergar, by format i assumed you didn't have any partition table or anything.  obviously if it mounted though it has a partition table and even a partition.  if you want to wipe it...
[02:49] <bruenig> wilo, how about a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
 i find that gcc of version 3.4 have this question, but i use 4.1 now
[02:49] <xtknight> Nergar, sudo mkfs.vfat -F32 /dev/sdb1  (sdb1 this time)
[02:49] <victori_> what is -current in ubuntu?
[02:50] <cinnix> i cant move my cursor across the screen withpoout it jumping
[02:50] <wilo> bruenig: ill try tat
[02:50] <xtknight> victori_, current what?
[02:50] <cinnix> without*
[02:50] <victori_> bleeding edge
[02:50] <victori_> such as debian sid
[02:50] <Nergar> xtknight, mkfs.vfat 2.11 (12 Mar 2005)---- thats all??
[02:50] <xtknight> victori_, feisty
[02:50] <victori_> thanks, and I can apt-get to it correct?
[02:50] <victori_> nm don't answer
[02:50] <xtknight> dist-upgrade?  yes should be able to.  just note it's unstable
[02:50] <victori_> thats fine
[02:50] <xtknight> i assume you know that if youre speaking of sid..
[02:51] <victori_> correct I do
[02:51] <victori_> I just wanted a quick response to what I need to upgrade to, to get the newest packages
[02:51] <victori_> specifically eclipse
[02:51] <xtknight> Nergar, uhhh that's all it's saying?
[02:51] <wilo> bruenig:  i get this response
[02:51] <Morg0> why do all my apps keep closing when after the screen saver has been running a while (6.10)
[02:51] <wilo> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10298/
[02:51] <Frogzoo> cinnix: either clean your mouseball, or use try a different mouse protocol
[02:51] <KeeNaF> how to format new hdd using linux?
[02:51] <Nergar> xtknight, yes, i mounted it and it is black
[02:51] <jrib> wilo: did you ever install deb's manually from feisty or have feisty in your sources?  Because that version is from feisty
[02:51] <xtknight> KeeNaF, you just bought a new HDD and you want to use it, correct?
[02:52] <Nergar> xtknight, blank**
[02:52] <jrib> wilo: actually, it's not feisty, it must be from debian
[02:52] <xtknight> Nergar, guess you're set then, right?
[02:52] <KeeNaF> xtknight .. yes ..
[02:52] <KeeNaF> :)
[02:52] <xtknight> KeeNaF, `gksu gparted` in terminal
[02:52] <wilo> jrib: yes it was from debian
[02:52] <KeeNaF> xtkmight .. k .. i try
[02:52] <jrib> wilo: yes, that's bad
[02:52] <Dreamxtreme> YEAH!!!!! IM IN ubuntu I've GONE OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE!!!!" ONLINE
[02:52] <wilo> :O
[02:52] <xtknight> KeeNaF, select the HDD that has a blank partition table . create new DOS partition table and make a partition
[02:52] <wilo> anyway to fix it?
[02:52] <bruenig> wilo, do this cd /tmp && wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/fontconfig/libfontconfig1_2.4.2-1ubuntu1_i386.deb && sudo dpkg -i libfontconfig1_2.4.2-1ubuntu1_i386.deb
[02:53] <Nergar> xtknight, wee, thanx a lot m8
[02:53] <bruenig> hm
[02:53] <Dreamxtreme> xtknight: YO
[02:53] <bruenig> wilo, don't do that then
[02:53] <xtknight> Nergar, np
[02:53] <Dreamxtreme> i got it working
[02:53] <xtknight> Dreamxtreme, cool
[02:53] <jrib> wilo: is that the only package that you installed that way?
[02:54] <xtknight> best thing to do with those pkg problems is to forcefully remove every pkg you see in the errors and then apt-get -f install
[02:54] <Dreamxtreme> wots this about broken packages
[02:54] <KeeNaF> xtknight .. once i time gksu gparted in terminal .. then password required .. I entered the passwd but nothing happen
[02:54] <KeeNaF> :(
[02:54] <wilo> bruenig: i got this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10299/
[02:54] <xtknight> KeeNaF, give it a second to start?
[02:54] <jrib> cisforcojo: id if synclient will work right, I don't have too much experience with it.  But, what you can look into is creating a udev rule to create a symbolic link for your touchpad that has the same name all the time (this seems like it would work, but I don't know if there is an easier solution, I suspect there is)
[02:54] <bruenig> wilo, if you are mixing repos, dependency hell is a headache to troubleshoot
[02:55] <Dreamxtreme> xtknight: how do i fix broken packages
[02:55] <xtknight> Dreamxtreme, what's broken?
[02:55] <KeeNaF> xtknight .. nothing happen
[02:55] <xtknight> bruenig, wilo i suggest `sudo dpkg --purge --force fontconfig-config ` but see if you guys agree
[02:55] <wilo> jrib: no, well ill tell you wat i tried to do, i tried installing GKrellM 2.2.10 from http://members.dslextreme.com/users/billw/gkrellm/gkrellm.html
[02:55] <smo> how can i do to completely remove the localepackage  in  / dir ??? and keep only my locale or can i remove it by hand???
[02:55] <wilo> and it needed to dependacies, so d.l and installed them
[02:55] <Dreamxtreme> xtknight:  in add/remove i try to install packages and it tells me to fix broken ones first
[02:56] <wilo> but one stuffed up
[02:56] <xtknight> KeeNaF, you typed 'gksu gparted'?
[02:56] <xtknight> wilo, `sudo dpkg --force --purge fontconfig-config`
[02:56] <hole> anyone here know of a good portscanner for linux?

[02:57] <KeeNaF> Package gparted is not available, but is referred to by another package.

[02:57] <KeeNaF> E: Package gparted has no installation candidate

[03:07] <PovAddict> oh well no way I would lose DATA anyway
[03:07] <xtknight> prolly not
[03:07] <xtknight> but you never know i guess
