[09:55] <dek_aik> FeestBijtje: welll, there are there?...:)
[09:55] <Senesence> ompaul: OK thank's man.
[09:55] <gatekeeper> mohkohn: 0.8.0-3 I think
[09:55] <dribble> can nautilus burn bin/cues or just isos?
[09:55] <ompaul> Senesence, all I can say is this, almost everything you know is wrong (that is a very crude way of saying it) you need to be very open to changes
[09:55] <Senesence> ompaul: I'll try my best. Im sure it will be worth it.
[09:55] <FeestBijtje> dek_aik, yes but why it aint working... i broke it ^^
[09:56] <FeestBijtje> dek_aik, on live cd i have sound but not on my installed version
[09:56] <ompaul> Senesence, don't be sure, know ;-)
[09:56] <dek_aik> FeestBijtje: how do you test the sound then? maybe the alsa-mixer is still mute
[09:57] <ompaul> Senesence, if you care to pm me or go to #ubuntu-classroom I will get you a few pointers
[09:57] <Rodya> how do i get apptitude running?
[09:57] <FeestBijtje> dek_aik, alsamixer is not muted
[09:57] <Rodya> i installed breezy but the extra packages didnt install
[09:57] <Senesence> ompaul: Well I hope at least, thanks for all your help. Later.
[09:57] <Rodya> i did this yesterday and apptitude worked but today its not
[09:57] <Flannel> Rodya: to run aptitude, just "sudo aptitude", that'll start the GUI
[09:57] <blanky> what's the argument for wget that you tell it where to save the downloaded file?
[09:58] <likwidtek_> does anyone know how to tell if my ati driver is up to date and supports 3d?
[09:58] <eddie> FeestBijtje, do you have a usb audio device connected?
[09:58] <dek_aik> FeestBijtje: well..i am lost..sorry friend
[09:58] <gatekeeper> ompaul: Windows to Ubuntu Transition Guide usefull for new people coming to linux:http://www.pcmech.com/show/os/917/
[09:58] <J-_> i tried to format my external hard drive with gparted, i put fat32 on a small partition, made another partition ext3. while it was making the ext3 partition, it stopped, and the hard drive went back to unallocated? is the hard drive perma fried now? =(
[09:58] <FeestBijtje> eddie, no its not USB
[09:59] <FeestBijtje> dek_aik, ill re install my OS
[09:59] <nceterval> After a little testing I've determined that when loading an encrypted partition with device mapper on boot with Ubuntu Dapper, if an incorrect passphrase is entered it assumes corruption and drops me to a root console.  This is obviously an awful security flaw, how can I fix it?
[09:59] <ompaul> gatekeeper, I'll keep it in mind
[09:59] <Flannel> nceterval: report it at launchpad
[09:59] <eddie> FeestBijtje, do you have any usb audio devices like a headset?
[09:59] <FeestBijtje> eddie, no
[10:00] <FeestBijtje> eddie, i got a SB Live value card on PCI with refuses to work after an hybernate
[10:00] <Rodya> Flannel, its saying  it wasnt able to locate a file for the xm package  internal error couldnt generate list of packages to download
[10:00] <Rodya> should i reinstall just the base system and then use aptitude?
[10:00] <dek_aik> FeestBijtje: well i walkthroughed two people with the same problem and with a success...must be something i missed
[10:00] <FeestBijtje> dek_aik, mabe its cause this is been my worst day since yesterday....
[10:00] <dead_kelly> okay this should be a simple one. Flash. I want flash to work
[10:00] <Flannel> Rodya: sounds like you've got some problems, yeah.  try that
[10:00] <likwidtek_> how can i see what driver my ati card is running?
[10:00] <likwidtek_> !ati
[10:00] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[10:01] <nceterval> Flannel: I just checked, there is "security contact" or "bug contact" for Linux Kernel Device Mapper on Launchpad.net  Does that matter?
[10:01] <FeestBijtje> dek_aik, no never mind i am drunk already cause of the absint... me and my gf broke up and now i am completely lost in my self
[10:01] <nceterval> *there is no
[10:01] <MilesAttacca4> Flannel: I've got a 250GB drive, and FDISK seems to think it only has 25GB.  Anyone? Can anyone please help?
[10:02] <jrib> dead_kelly: what about flash?
[10:02] <gnomefreak> !flash
[10:02] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  -  See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html  -  But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[10:02] <FeestBijtje> dek_aik, can you tell me atleast what i can do more eccept bashing my self into walls
[10:02] <Flannel> nceterval: er, when reporting the bug there should be a checkbox about not making it public, or whatever.  Let me look.
[10:02] <MilesAttacca4> Flannel: Can I just do it as part of the install wizard, or is there a specific app included on the CD?
[10:02] <dek_aik> FeestBijtje: keep safe..wish you better luck then..others will help..its 3 am here..i need some sleep..bye
[10:02] <AndreasBe> i got a problem authenticating against an OpenLDAP server using the gdm login manager. tty and ssh authentication is fine. anyone able to help?
[10:02] <FeestBijtje> bye bye dek_aik thanx for the help
[10:02] <nceterval> Flannel: I apologize, I'm not at all familiar with Launchpad.
[10:03] <dead_kelly> gnomefreak I can't get flash working
[10:03] <likwidtek_> guys whats the command to see what drivers are loaded please?
[10:03] <dead_kelly> flash files won't load on teh intarwebs
[10:03] <Supermathie> Are there any patches for suspend2 out there that apply against Ubuntu 6.06?
[10:03] <move> the terminal client on my sidekick is light text on a white background, is that configurable from my computer or only from the sidekick?
[10:03] <Flannel> move: just the sidekick
[10:04] <jesspher> is there any program in linux that supports ipod
[10:04] <J-_> when i use gparted am i suppose to use the BSD option?
[10:04] <jesspher> please help
[10:05] <move> okay, one more question... is there a torrent console client?
[10:05] <eyequeue> jesspher, apt-cache search ipod?
[10:05] <Flannel> !tell jesspher about ipod
[10:05] <ubuntu> Hi every one.... I using the LIVE CD Ubuntu, V. 5,10, Whow is the password of root???
[10:05] <mc__> move, ctorrent
[10:05] <Flannel> move: yeah, btdownloadcurses
[10:05] <mc__> ubuntu, there is none
[10:05] <gatekeeper> dead_kelly: are you runing amd64?
[10:05] <ubuntu> No... Pc32
[10:06] <dead_kelly> gatekeeper running powerpc
[10:06] <ubuntu> "none", or it does not have passord?
[10:06] <Flannel> ubuntu: it has none.  it has no root account.
[10:06] <MilesAttacca4> Flannel: Can I just do it as part of the install wizard, or is there a specific app included on the CD?
[10:06] <mc__> ubuntu, it does not have a password
[10:06] <mc__> ubuntu, root account is disabled
[10:06] <mc__> ubuntu, you can enable the account with setting a password
[10:06] <Flannel> nceterval: When you go and report the bug, check the "this bug is a security vulnerability" checkbox at the bottom
[10:06] <mc__> ubuntu, sudo passwd root
[10:06] <Flannel> mc__: he shouldn't need to do that.
[10:07] <ubuntu> ok.... thank you MC!
[10:07] <mc__> Flannel, i like it to have a root account
[10:07] <Flannel> mc__: that's fine, don't recommend others do the same.
[10:07] <gatekeeper> dead_kelly: if you are running firefox: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_Flash_Player_.28Macromedia_Flash.29_Plug-in_for_Mozilla_Firefox
[10:07] <mc__> ubuntu, you're welcome
[10:07] <ubuntu> I'm from brazil.... sorry about the english.
[10:07] <Flannel> MilesAttacca4: gparted is the program you're looking for, otherwise you'll have to do it from the install
[10:07] <mc__> Flannel, i dont consider a root account as a security risk as long as you arent silly
[10:07] <nceterval> Flannel: Alright, I'll file a bug.  Thanks
[10:07] <MilesAttacca4> Flannel: Is there any particular advantage to doing it either way?
[10:07] <Flannel> mc__: right, but new users don't know how 'not to be silly'.
[10:08] <move> Flannel: can you do a command like btdownloadcurses http://the.com/torrent.torrent ?
[10:08] <Flannel> move: it's something like that, yeah
[10:08] <move> k
[10:08] <move> thx
[10:08] <Winball> k
[10:08] <jesspher> does anybody know how i can get the amarok package
[10:08] <dead_kelly> so can anyone help me here?
[10:09] <stummies> i need help accessing my NTFS formatted USB harddisk from linux
[10:09] <Flannel> mc__: besides, having a root account causes problems with some of the other configurations of ubuntu.
[10:09] <move> hmm, okay, one more question
[10:09] <move> knowing nothing but the url, how can you download a file from an http server using console?
[10:09] <move> is there a native command?
[10:09] <mc__> Flannel, not having a root account causes problems with some non-ubuntu scripts
[10:09] <Flannel> move: wget
[10:09] <MilesAttacca4> Flannel: Is there any particular advantage to doing it either way?
[10:09] <AndreasBe> move: wget
[10:09] <Winball> Someone have problemes with azureus? Try running it as root
[10:09] <eyequeue> move, sudo apt-get install wget
[10:10] <Flannel> MilesAttacca4: not a huge advantage, no.  either way you'll get it partitioned
[10:10] <Flannel> move: wget is already installed
[10:10] <eyequeue> move, wget http://url.here/path/file
[10:10] <move> great
[10:10] <move> thanks a lot gus
[10:10] <move> guys
[10:10] <move> I go tit
[10:10] <move> now I can torrent from work using my sidekick!
[10:11] <Flannel> move: you should check out 'screen'
[10:11] <AndreasBe> does anyone have ldap authentication using gdm working? (i'm using ubuntu for both the clients and the server).
[10:11] <move> what is screen
[10:11] <MilesAttacca4> Flannel: Will the arrangement of the partitions be of any concern, namely the orientation of the Linux and swap partitions relative to the Windows installs?
[10:11] <mc__> move, a nice programm
[10:11] <eyequeue> move, if you're a console fan, i'll second that recommendation for screen(1)
[10:11] <mc__> move, install it and try it out
[10:11] <eyequeue> screen (1)           - screen manager with VT100/ANSI terminal emulation
[10:11] <move> I type it and my console just flashes
[10:11] <Supermathie> screen is awesome.
[10:12] <Flannel> move: google it, the irssi website has a nice tutorial about it
[10:12] <dead_kelly> gah
[10:12] <Flannel> mc__: most new users don't need to run non-ubuntu scripts, and aren't savvy enough to weigh the differences between having root, and using sudo.  It's perfectly alright if you want to have a root account, but don't go telling everyone randomly to have one.
[10:12] <jesspher> does ubuntu 6.06 support  .rar files
[10:12] <eyequeue> move, screen has a billion features, don't get bogged down in the socs ... detaching/attaching is the big one, then i use it for cut/paste too, the rest are less common
[10:13] <tmccrary> Is allofmp3.com down for anyone else?
[10:13] <mathieu_> anyone have any idea why a usb printer would work with a ubuntu kernel but not a vanilla linux kernel ?
[10:13] <XiXaQ> jesspher, yes.
[10:13] <Supermathie> it lets you m:n multiplex terminals, so you can have a screen 'session' running an arbitrary number of programs and having an arbitrary number of frontends connected to it, viewing.
[10:13] <move> well how do I run it to play with it?
[10:13] <Flannel> move: it means you won't have to be connected for your programs (bittorrent in this case) to continue to run.
[10:13] <mathieu_> i'm getting :  cupsdAuthorize: Local authentication certificate not found!
[10:13] <MilesAttacca4> Flannel: Will the arrangement of the partitions be of any concern, namely the orientation of the Linux and swap partitions relative to the Windows installs?
[10:13] <jesspher> XiXaQ: thanks
[10:13] <mathieu_> but when running ubuntu kernel there is no problem
[10:13] <eyequeue> move, start with "pinfo screen" or "man screen"
[10:13] <move> pinfo screen
[10:13] <move> man screen
[10:13] <move> gotcha
[10:13] <move> thx
[10:13] <Flannel> MilesAttacca4: I believe windows needs to be in a primary partition, but I'm not really sure.
[10:14] <mc__> Flannel, yes sir
[10:14] <Flannel> mc__: thanks
[10:14] <eyequeue> move, what you do is start a "terminal" inside screen, then run apps, then make more terminals if you want, etc
[10:14] <MilesAttacca4> Flannel: Does Linux need to be in one as well?
[10:14] <Flannel> MilesAttacca4: no, windows is picky, linux will run anywhere.
[10:14] <dead_kelly> d00d my linuxes are teh suck!
[10:14] <XiXaQ> jesspher, uh.. wait a minute. I'm not sure it does out of the box.
[10:14] <move> I see, so when I disconnect from the ssh screen keeps the programs running?
[10:14] <tmccrary> Linux won't run on my Gigabyte i-Ram card :(
[10:14] <mathieu_> move: yes
[10:14] <Supermathie> move: Exactly!
[10:15] <AndreasBe> move: you could ylso choose to connect to one screen using several pc's at once.
[10:15] <eyequeue> linux ran in my bathroom, must run anywhere
[10:15] <Flannel> move: since otherwise, if your sidekick disconnected for whatever reason, the programs you had running would stop
[10:15] <Supermathie> for example, I have 20 different programs running under screen, and a screen session connected from my desktop here, my desktop at home, and my blackberry :)
[10:15] <dead_kelly> right so, is there a power pc chan?
[10:15] <APEX> has anyone here got 3ddesktop to work on a ppc mac?
[10:15] <move> I see
[10:15] <bigjb> tmccrary: run it under vmware
[10:15] <move> screen is awesome.
[10:15] <Supermathie> so I can view any of the programs from any device, detach and reattach at will
[10:15] <dead_kelly> apex I can't even get flah to work
[10:16] <APEX> hrrmm]
[10:16] <gnomefreak> dead_kelly: flash doesnt work on ppc
[10:16] <XiXaQ> jesspher, I'm sorry, I was wrong. Ubuntu does not support rar. It's easily installed though.
[10:16] <dead_kelly> gnomefreak reeely?
[10:16] <gnomefreak> dead_kelly: you need gplflash (sometimes doesnt like to work)
[10:16] <APEX> I can get 3ddesktop to work - it will switch displays, but I dont see any animation
[10:16] <eyequeue> move, start irssi in console, get x working, detach, come back in x and reattach to that irssi, and no one on irc even knew you left, all /msgs saved, it's sweet
[10:16] <gnomefreak> dead_kelly: really
[10:16] <gnomefreak> !flash > dead_kelly
[10:16] <Supermathie> move: type 'ctrl-a', '?' inside screen
[10:16] <greg> Ubuntu is a pretty slick distro!
[10:16] <gnomefreak> dead_kelly: read the link in your pm
[10:16] <APEX> I spose is those durn ati ppc drivers
[10:16] <mathieu_> dead_kelly: it's cause the sources are not open for flash
[10:17] <gnomefreak> dead_kelly: most non-free apps wont run on ppc
[10:17] <dead_kelly> gnomefreak where does one synaptyic gplflash ?
[10:17] <move> control a doesn't do anything...
[10:17] <MilesAttacca4> Flannel: 'K, I'm going to go to work installing Win98 and DOS on the box now. Thanks for the help.
[10:17] <XiXaQ> jesspher, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression#head-32ba956d13d49934f65bf67dd40646653a7a6140
[10:17] <gnomefreak> dead_kelly: read the link it will tell y ou how to install it
[10:17] <move> oh, I see
[10:17] <Flannel> move: also with screen you'll be able to have multiple terminals, so you can connect once, and then do many things, irssi in one, bittorrent in another, etc
[10:18] <move2> hmm
[10:18] <move2> okay, I'm in irssi in screen
[10:18] <dead_kelly> gnomefreak those links explain restricted formats they are not synaptic sources
[10:18] <move2> how do I open another program inside screen though?
[10:19] <Supermathie> move: commands start with ctrl-A, ones to start with are: screen (c), next (space), detach (d), switchtonum (the number)
[10:19] <move2> when I press control a it just says that there is no other window
[10:19] <eyequeue> move2, ^A^C for that second app, then ^A^A to toggle
[10:19] <tmccrary> Is there a tutorial on building the ubuntu kernel?
[10:19] <Supermathie> move: so hit ctrl-a, c to create a new one
[10:19] <move2> ahhh
[10:19] <move2> awesome!
[10:19] <Flannel> !tell tmccrary about kernel
[10:19] <Supermathie> move: from a random shell, use 'screen -x' to connect to it.
[10:19] <gatekeeper> !flash > gatekeeper
[10:19] <move> hmm
[10:19] <tmccrary> !tell me about kernel bitch
[10:19] <BuFF> im having a problem, i installed dapper on my old pc 128ram, 20GB, 800Mhz & i cant install dapper on more powerfull ibm r50e laptop, what's the problem ?
[10:19] <ubotu> I know nothing about kernel bitch - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[10:19] <move> and I closed the window, I'm still in it
[10:20] <eyequeue> move2, one other thing, "screen -x" or "screen -r" to get back from detaching, done as ^A^X
[10:20] <mohkohn> How can I compile kqemu into the ubuntu 0.8.0 qemu package?
[10:20] <PolterGeist> Hello
[10:21] <ardchoille> Someone should write a short screen how-to on the wiki :)
[10:21] <tmccrary> That tutorial says it's about Edgy Eft's kernel... is it not a simple process to build a dapper kernel....?
[10:21] <move> how do you totally kill a screen session?
[10:21] <eyequeue> move, example,. detach from machine A, go to machine B and logon, and then attach to that machine, even though you never had it on that machine in the first place
[10:21] <Flannel> move: close all the windows
[10:21] <eyequeue> move, "exit" at the terminal
[10:21] <ardchoille> move: when you exit all the prompts in screen, screen will terminate itself
[10:21] <dead_kelly> meh. in about 10 minutes I am going back to mac os x
[10:22] <eyequeue> move, there's a "kill" command too, but better to close things our properly :)
[10:22] <PolterGeist> i have no experience on Linux. I am trying to install Xubuntu 6.06 on a Intel Celeron 466Mhz, 128MB RAM with 800X600 monitor
[10:22] <andbelo> Is there a program that allow you to send fax using Dapper?
[10:22] <move> I'm getting it now
[10:22] <move> awesome.
[10:22] <dead_kelly> linux just isn't ready for the desktop
[10:22] <eyequeue> s/our/out/
[10:22] <ardchoille> eyequeue: the screen kill command (^a^\) has never worked for me
[10:23] <PolterGeist> i changed the resolution on 800X600 but can't see full screen, anyone can help ?
[10:23] <Bakemono> hi
[10:23] <Supermathie> ardchoille: you want to kill a single screen? ^aK
[10:23] <PolterGeist> pls pm
[10:23] <eyequeue> ardchoille, try ^A^K
[10:23] <Bonez56> he
[10:23] <Bonez56> PETER BROWN
[10:23] <edulix> hi !
[10:23] <ardchoille> eyequeue: Ahh, I'll have to try that later, thanks
[10:23] <_X_> Does anyone know how I can hear sounds from multiple programs/sources at once?
[10:23] <_X_> In dapper :)
[10:23] <eyequeue> ardchoille, ^A^k too
[10:24] <edulix> I have an old ati which is only supported in ati drivers and in the propietary ones
[10:24] <Bonez56> _X_: i'd also like to know this
[10:24] <_X_> For instance amarok and gaim notification sounds at the same time
[10:24] <Supermathie> ^aK, not ^k
[10:24] <ardchoille> Supermathie: Thank you :)
[10:24] <edulix> it's a readeon 7500 IO belive
[10:24] <Jack_Smirnoff> Weeeeeeeee just did full system restore from my tar backup... Really had my fingers crossed for this one.. Thanks all
[10:24] <edulix> how can i configure tv out?
[10:24] <edulix> it doesn't work out of the box :P
[10:24] <likwidtek_> can someone please help me with this error?  E: Couldn't find package xorg-driver-fg1rx
[10:24] <Supermathie> remember - ^A? gives most commands
[10:24] <Bonez56> _X_: actually now to think of it mine works fine? Gaim always makes sounds while I am watching movies with mplayer
[10:24] <move2> and now I'm ircing from my sidekick
[10:24] <_X_> Bonez56, good for you :P
[10:24] <Flannel> likwidtek_: it's an l, frlrx not a 1
[10:24] <move2> weird
[10:24] <n08l3_Jatt> how to change distro from 5.10 to 6.06
[10:24] <Jack_Smirnoff> _X_: alsa
[10:24] <Flannel> !tell n08l3_Jatt about upgrade
[10:25] <Jack_Smirnoff> !upgrade
[10:25] <ubotu> Upgrading to Ubuntu 5.10 breezy -> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade  Upgrading to Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades  Note: gksudo "update-manager -d" always updates to the latest development version.
[10:25] <Bonez56> likwidtek_: sudo apt-cache search xorg-driver and then find the one you want and install it
[10:25] <zaudragon> weee Ubuntu is wicked; thanks guys
[10:25] <_X_> If I run amarok the gaim sounds will cue up and spam me once a playlist has finished
[10:25] <likwidtek_> E: Couldn't find package xorg-driver-fglrx
[10:25] <Bonez56> lol
[10:25] <move2> thanks a lot guys... gotta goto work
[10:25] <_X_> cant run multiple vlc clients either
[10:25] <move2> later
[10:25] <Bonez56> likwidtek_: read my text again
[10:25] <likwidtek_> Bonez56,  k ill try it thanks
[10:25] <n08l3_Jatt> Flannel: Thnkx
[10:25] <_X_> Jack_Smirnoff, for some reason alsa doesnt seem to do much good
[10:25] <eyequeue> move, while at it, i'll also mention ^A^[ and ^A^]  are my friends too :)  (cut/paste)
[10:26] <move> eyequeue: great, thx
[10:26] <Jack_Smirnoff> edulix: xorg-driver-fglrx  is what I think is needed for 8500 and lower cards
[10:26] <Supermathie> screenusers: The thing that messes people up initally is you can't just scrollback as you did before - ^A<ESC> puts you into scrollback mode. Use VI keys to move around.
[10:26] <_X_> I shalt brb abtwats,,,
[10:26] <eyequeue> move, always noce to give someone a new software toy, knowing there will be no productivity at the office for a week, lol
[10:26] <move> haha
[10:27] <ardchoille> eyequeue: hahaha
[10:27] <likwidtek_> Bonez56, so sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-driver-ati  ?
[10:27] <eyequeue> the console apps are just so powerful, i love them
[10:28] <skooj> hello.. uh.. I have a problem making my microphone work.. I want it mostly for skype, but I can't get it to work with anything. anyone have any idea how to fix it?
[10:28] <J-_> is there another program any better than gparted? or a tutorial to format my external hard drive into ext3 or fast32?
[10:28] <J-_> fast32*
[10:28] <J-_> -s
[10:28] <J-_> err
[10:28] <edulix> Jack_Smirnoff: fglrx does not support my card
[10:28] <ardchoille> I love Ubuntu. It's good for newbies, yet still powerful enough for those of us who like to log in without X and do everything in screen.
[10:28] <edulix> anyway thanks
[10:28] <Supermathie> ... or log into X and do everything in screen :)
[10:28] <edulix> I must go bye!
[10:28] <ardchoille> Supermathie: hehe
[10:29] <Malachi> Can I edit cookies in Epiphany?
[10:29] <likwidtek_> Bonez56, you still there?
[10:29] <J-_> is there another program any better than gparted? or a tutorial to format my external hard drive into ext3 or fat32?
[10:29] <Bonez56> likwidtek_: yeah
[10:30] <likwidtek_> Bonez56, so sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-driver-ati  right?
[10:30] <Jack_Smirnoff> !ati
[10:30] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[10:30] <J-_> =\
[10:30] <Bonez56> likwidtek_: follow ubotu's instruction
[10:30] <Ace2007> http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper/multiverse/binary-i386/Packages.gz: Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1) What does that mean?
[10:30] <ompaul> J-_,  do this sudo fdisk -l  then fdisk the external drive enjoy
[10:30] <likwidtek_> I did that's why I am having problems..  here let me pastebin the output.  gimme a few
[10:31] <zecarlos> Ol, boa tarde a todos
[10:31] <ompaul> J-_,  the latter part is sudo fdisk /dev/whereeverthatdriveis

[10:32] <Supermathie> Probably turn your mic volume up :)
[10:32] <skooj> lol Supermathie, mic volume is up.
[10:32] <Supermathie> That usually does it for me :)
[10:32] <Supermathie> Although earlier I had to take it off mute...
[10:32] <johlin> My friends has got a Ralink RT2500, but the drivers for that are source code and because he hasn't got internet connection on that computer yet because of that, he can't apt-get install build-essential. What should he do?
[10:33] <skooj> i think it's my soundcard.. or something.. mic volume is all the way up, as is capture and everything but like.. i stilll get nothing
[10:33] <davey_> johlin, you can get the drivers from the website and just untar them
[10:33] <davey_> johlin, thats only if you are not on amd64
[10:33] <johlin> davey_: he's not on amd64. what site, ralinks official?
[10:33] <davey_> johlin, yes under the support tab
[10:34] <johlin> davey_ I can only find source code ones there. Or are the drivers included in that package?
[10:34] <Zooliegsm> hello all...i downloaded LiVES the video editing tool,and if i click to run it will do nothing.my cpu at load.and nothing.in terminal i dont got any errors.....pls help.....or any good video editing tool?
[10:35] <davey_> johlin, they have a totorial on ubuntu forms if the instructions in the source tar ball are kind of hard to understnad
[10:35] <Spec> Zooliegsm: yes, yes there are...
[10:35] <Spec> Zooliegsm: but for the life of me i can't remember what they are
[10:35] <X|Rolando> I have 2 videolan clients playing the same file and I only get sound from one (both are set to use alsa)
[10:35] <davey_> can anyone send me some gdesklet widgets, the main website i down and I wanted to have a few and the only website that is up only has like 10 that are lame
[10:35] <X|Rolando> Is there a magical package I need to install?
[10:35] <skooj> meh, maybe if i update alsa my microphone will record..
[10:35] <davey_> They are no where to be found anymore
[10:36] <Flannel> davey_: ubuntu comes with a bunch
[10:36] <davey_> Flannel, it doesn't have that main
[10:36] <Flannel> davey_: what?
[10:36] <davey_> Flannel, I just wanted a calculator that I had on another machine and the site with most of them is down
[10:36] <dealahog> skooj did you install alsa-oss ?
[10:36] <rtux> How can I blacklist modules on startup in ubuntu?? please?/
[10:36] <Flannel> davey_: apt-get install gdesklets (it's in universe)
[10:37] <skooj> dealahog err.. no?
[10:37] <cowbud> I just got the sl-modem driver to work and now when I try to connect it dials but it doesn't give me a connection. When I dial the connect per hand I here the correct noise though..any ideas why that is?
[10:37] <eyequeue> !blacklist
[10:37] <ubotu> To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add "blacklist modulename" to the end of that list
[10:37] <X|Rolando> !alsa
[10:37] <ubotu> If sound is not working, first try system -> prefrences -> multimedia system selector change it to alsa. If you still have problems then look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems
[10:37] <Zooliegsm> Spec and any solution for my problem?
[10:37] <davey_> Flannel, I have the program
[10:37] <dealahog> I use a lot of voice programs I always install alsa-oss and aumix
[10:37] <Supermathie> !suspend2
[10:37] <rtux> ubotu.. that doesn't work.. I tried it.
[10:37] <ubotu> I know nothing about suspend2 - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[10:37] <hussam> anyone can help get cdrecord to work as non-root?
[10:37] <ubotu> I know nothing about ubotu.. that doesn't work.. I tried it. - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[10:37] <likwidtek_> Bonez56, ok could you take a look at this?  Thanks for your help.  http://pastebin.ca/104332
[10:37] <Supermathie> Damn.
[10:37] <Spec> !video
[10:37] <rellik> hi. I'm attempting to Ubuntu Desktop from the liveCD and I keep getting the error "unable to create filesystem" when it starts the install.  What is happening?
[10:37] <ubotu> I know nothing about video - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[10:37] <Spec> !v4l
[10:37] <dealahog> seems to fix all ly problems
[10:37] <ubotu> I know nothing about v4l - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[10:37] <Spec> bah
[10:37] <Zooliegsm> !video
[10:37] <davey_> relik, sounds like a harddrive problem
[10:37] <Zooliegsm> nothing
[10:38] <johlin> davey_: do you have a link to a guide?
[10:38] <Jack_Smirnoff> rellik: what type of hard drive(s)\
[10:38] <rellik> davey_:  I accidentally downloaded and installed Ubuntu alternate successfully though
[10:38] <X|Rolando> multimedia? there is no multimedia thingy in dapper
[10:38] <skooj> err there is no "multimedia" in system > prefrences..
[10:38] <rellik> and it had a previously working windows install on it
[10:38] <rellik> its an older hard drive
[10:38] <davey_> johlin, I lost the guide
[10:38] <rellik> 3.2 gig maxtor
[10:38] <Zooliegsm> so? any good video editor name?
[10:39] <johlin> davey_ I found one in the wiki
[10:39] <X|Rolando> pitivi
[10:39] <s33k3rgr> does anybody knows anythink about dvb cardsharing client programs?
[10:39] <rtux> !modules
[10:39] <ubotu> I know nothing about modules - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[10:39] <Jack_Smirnoff> rellik: you need 2 gig for the swap
[10:39] <rtux> !modprobe
[10:39] <ubotu> I know nothing about modprobe - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[10:39] <X|Rolando> Zooliegsm, pitivi, its not quite finished yet though :P
[10:39] <likwidtek_> Zooliegsm,  Kino?
[10:39] <davey_> I checked for gdesklets I have all the ones that ubuntu comes with, does anyone have any they can send me
[10:39] <Spec> !info kino
[10:39] <ubotu> kino: Non-linear editor for Digital Video data. In repository main, is extra. Version 0.80-1ubuntu7 (dapper), package size 1071 kB, installed size 3616 kB
[10:39] <s33k3rgr> does anybody knows anythink about dvb cardsharing client programs?
[10:39] <davey_> modprobe is easy to use, you just need to know the name of the mod
[10:39] <rellik> install said i needed 2 gig for / and 192mb for swap
[10:39] <Spec> Zooliegsm: that's what i was thinking, kino
[10:39] <rtux> insmod does not insert the module.. It says "no name or directory".
[10:40] <davey_> rtux, you have to modprobe first
[10:40] <sarra_> I need to navigate to /home/sarra/Desktop/downloads using console, but cd /home && cd /sarra gives error: Directory sarra not found
[10:40] <rtux> davey_ modprobe ?? modulename?
[10:40] <rellik> cd /home/sarra
[10:40] <davey_> rtux, its been a while but it looks something like modprobe $(name)
[10:40] <Flannel> sarra_: /sarry is from the root.  you just want "cd /home" "cd sarra"
[10:40] <gbdm> How can I donwload ndisgtk and all it's depedencies in one shot?
[10:40] <davey_> rtux, and ofcorse you need to use sudo
[10:40] <sarra_> rellik: that results in the same error
[10:41] <rtux> davey_ sure.. I do use sudo, and even root!
[10:41] <likwidtek_> Bonez56, or anyone?  could you take a look at this?  I'm trying to get 3d support out of my ATI driver but the driver doesn't seem to load.  Here is the output  http://pastebin.ca/104332
[10:41] <Flannel> sarra_: you're as sarra?
[10:41] <Jack_Smirnoff> rellik: did you delete the windows partition?\
[10:41] <Flannel> sarra_: er, logged in as sarra?
[10:41] <sarra_> Yes
[10:41] <Flannel> sarra_: cd ~/Desktop/downloads
[10:41] <Jack_Smirnoff> did you get google earth running?
[10:41] <PolterGeist> i have no experience on Linux. I am trying to install Xubuntu 6.06 on a Intel Celeron 466Mhz, 128MB RAM with 800X600 monitor
[10:41] <PingunZ> Hikaru79, how can I use the modified /boot/config-* ?
[10:41] <sarra_> Ahh, thanks, Flannel
[10:41] <davey_> rtux, I totaly forgot, I am just lookin for gdekslets man, a calk for my desktop is why i'm here.. lol I wish I had my old logs to show you
[10:41] <PolterGeist> i changed the resolution on 800X600 but can't see full screen, anyone can help ?
[10:41] <rellik> Jack_Smirnoff: yes, i even used the partition editor in the installer to clear all of the partitions
[10:41] <idefix_> Jack_Smirnoff google earth! how do you get it running
[10:41] <idefix_> ?
[10:41] <PingunZ> how can I use the modified /boot/config-* ?
[10:42] <rtux> davey_ :) no problem man.. it happes. thanks ;)
[10:42] <Zooliegsm> Spec, XIRolando and likwidtek: kk,i check thoose,thx.........pls see this website,i need some interface like this program have : http://lives.sourceforge.net like timeline and mp3 support etc.......i dont know why it isnt work....
[10:42] <Jack_Smirnoff> idefix_: Linux version?
[10:42] <rellik> Jack_Smirnoff: and fdisk /dev/hda resulted in an error
[10:42] <idefix_> yes
[10:42] <Flannel> PolterGeist: get the Xubuntu alternate CD, and install it that way.  Probably you're best bet.
[10:42] <Jack_Smirnoff> rellik: ?
[10:42] <rellik> "unable to open /dev/hda
[10:42] <rellik> "
[10:43] <X|Rolando> Zooliegsm, pitivi uses gstreamer and should thus be able to handle almost any media format
[10:43] <Supermathie> fdisk -l /dev/sda (that's an ell)
[10:43] <idefix_> Jack_Smirnoff download from the repos, gunzip everything and run the executable?
[10:43] <X|Rolando> likwidtek, have you enabled all the repositories?
[10:43] <Zooliegsm> X|Rolando i checked it...on shots i cant see timeline......
[10:43] <Jack_Smirnoff> idefix_: single bin file
[10:43] <Jack_Smirnoff> sarra just finished the install
[10:44] <likwidtek_> X|Rolando, I enabled univers I think... is there anything in particular I need to enable?
[10:44] <PolterGeist> Flannel: I downloaded Xubuntu image and running it from there, it is also freeze on some points...now it is froze at step 5/6 (partition)
[10:44] <idefix_> sarra_  did you get google earth running?
[10:44] <rellik> the disk utility in system-> admin -> disks sees it as a 3.2 gig drive but its status is "inaccessable"
[10:44] <X|Rolando> Zooliegsm, bookmark the page, it should have a timeline soon enough :)=
[10:44] <gbdm> How can I donwload ndisgtk and all it's depedencies in one shot from windows to port to Ubuntu?
[10:44] <zaudragon> hey, I can't use sudo; how can I get it back?
[10:44] <Zooliegsm> :D kk
[10:45] <X|Rolando> likwidtek, I suggest you enable all the binary repositories (and disable all source repositories, if you want to speed things up a tad)
[10:45] <sarra_> idefix: I have Google Earth running in Windows
[10:45] <rellik> when i'm running the liveCD should the disk show up in /etc/fstab?
[10:45] <ardchoille> zaudragon: Do you have any idea of how yu lost sudo?
[10:45] <Zooliegsm> any solution for "why lives not running" issue? :D
[10:45] <sarra_> idefix: I also think you've got me confused withs omeone else. :)
[10:45] <zaudragon> ardchoille: nope, not really
[10:45] <zaudragon> I ran Synaptic, installed XMMS
[10:45] <synic> zaudragon: best explain what you mean by "not working"
[10:45] <TheMoebius> hey In evolution images in emails are blocked by default I think, but unlike thunderbird there's no option to show them. What am I missing?
[10:46] <zaudragon> synic: I run sudo ____ and it returns nothing
[10:46] <synic> zaudragon: you get no password prompt?
[10:46] <zaudragon> synic: I do
[10:46] <ardchoille> zaudragon: If you had no sudo rights, it would say so
[10:46] <synic> then what?
[10:46] <zaudragon> nothing
[10:46] <synic> what command are you running?
[10:46] <zaudragon> back to the prompt
[10:46] <ardchoille> zaudragon: The command you used may not have returned anything
[10:46] <zaudragon> "sudo echo hello"
[10:46] <InterNut> anyone know why i get a wierd pic (http://internut.no-ip.org/webcam/) when using webcamd but when im trying camorama it works?
[10:47] <zaudragon> echo definitely returns something
[10:47] <likwidtek_> X|Rolando,  i have ubuntu 6.06 LTS ; lts security; lts updates; (all binary) and get automatix
[10:47] <likwidtek_> is that what I need to download the ati driver?
[10:47] <synic> zaudragon: try sudo ls
[10:48] <Flannel> likwidtek_, X|Rolando: don't use automatix.
[10:48] <zaudragon> synic: nothing
[10:48] <synic> zaudragon: it hangs or you just get the command prompt again?
[10:48] <zaudragon> synic: I just get the prompt
[10:48] <ardchoille> zaudragon: try  sudo ls -lha /root
[10:48] <X|Rolando> likwidtek, give synaptic a try
[10:48] <synic> zaudragon: try reset; sudo ls /
[10:49] <zaudragon> synic: ardchoille both fail
[10:49] <lampshade> what happens if you don't have SMP and you install an SMP kernel?  I've noticed that in the repos, there is a linux-image 686 for smp, and one for without smp, but the one without smp is of an older version?  the one with smp is 2.6.15-26 where the other is 2.6.15-24?
[10:49] <X|Rolando> Flannel, don't scare the living crap out of him will you? :P
[10:49] <lampshade> I have a Pentium-M  (laptop)
[10:49] <synic> lampshade: it should work fine
[10:49] <synic> lampshade: I'd stick with the non-smp one
[10:50] <synic> it's not actually older, it just hasn't been revised as much
[10:50] <skooj> err... can someone help me get my microphone working? it has nothing to do with mic volume as i've tried that. and i just installed oss support and that doesnt seem to work either..
[10:50] <lampshade> any particular reason?  That's what I've done in the past I think.
[10:50] <lampshade> ahh
[10:50] <Flannel> lampshade: SMP kernels on non SMP machines don't really cause a problem.
[10:50] <lampshade> cool thanks
[10:50] <Flannel> lampshade: are you still on breezy?
[10:50] <lampshade> no, dapper
[10:50] <likwidtek_> brb
[10:50] <Flannel> lampshade: hmm, odd.  They did away with the differentiation between SMP and non-SMP in Dapper
[10:51] <lampshade> should I be searching for something other than linux
[10:51] <lampshade> linux-image
[10:51] <gbdm> How can I donwload ndisgtk and all it's depedencies in one shot from windows to port to Ubuntu?
[10:51] <lampshade> I see ones that say SMP/UP  not and one without the SMP/UP on the end of its description
[10:51] <lampshade> is that what you see in your repos?
[10:52] <Flannel> lampshade: I'm running breezy still, is it the kernels themselves? or just the meta packages?
[10:52] <zaudragon> synic: ardchoille: I think I might be stuck :(
[10:52] <Flannel> eh, I can just look.
[10:52] <lampshade> could just be a meta package
[10:52] <ardchoille> zaudragon: Can you "su"?
[10:52] <lampshade> how would I be able to tell the diff?
[10:52] <zaudragon> ardchoille: tried that, it says I fail
[10:53] <ardchoille> zaudragon: uh oh
[10:53] <zaudragon> su: Authentication failure
[10:53] <Flannel> lampshade: ah, looks like it's just a few images, PPC and power3
[10:53] <ardchoille> zaudragon: Is this the user that always had sudo rights?
[10:53] <zaudragon> ardchoille: it was the first user made, yes
[10:53] <Valehru_Airport> Hey guys..Through gftpprod I set up a user for my ftp.  I also set up SSH however I don't want any users other than root to have SSH access...how can I edit the users that can log onto SSH via the console?
[10:53] <zaudragon> ardchoille: and there aren't more users
[10:54] <ardchoille> zaudragon: Have you got a LiveCD you can use?
[10:54] <zaudragon> ardchoille: yeah
[10:54] <Phoul> anyone else having issues with Seavas's server?
[10:54] <ardchoille> zaudragon: Then you should be able to mount the hdd, use the livecd and change the sudoers file to get it back
[10:54] <zaudragon> ardchoille: gotcha
[10:55] <X|Rolando> does anyone know where I can find asound.conf?
[10:55] <zaudragon> ardchoille: is it in /etc?
[10:55] <X|Rolando> cant find it
[10:55] <X|Rolando> in /etc
[10:55] <lampshade> so what do you guys think?  "Linux kernel image for version 2.6.15 on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/PIV SMP/UP" or just the plain "Linux kernel image on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/PIV."  that has a lower revision number?
[10:55] <stopher> i know this command is not right but: updated $$ locate asound.conf ?
[10:55] <stopher> thanks
[10:55] <stopher> i know this command is not right but: updated && locate asound.conf ?
[10:55] <lampshade> I'm confused....
[10:56] <soundray> X|Rolando: there is no asound.conf, only an asound.state
[10:56] <ardchoille> zaudragon: yes, /etc/sudoers -r--r----- 1 root root 403 2006-06-13 05:06 /etc/sudoers
[10:56] <Flannel> lampshade: ah.  the old was is 2.6.12? (non SMP?)
[10:56] <rellik> YAHTZEE!  i rebooted and it works?
[10:56] <rellik> don't know why i didn't do that in the first place
[10:56] <X|Rolando> strange...
[10:56] <zaudragon> ardchoille: thanks
[10:56] <ardchoille> zaudragon: You're welcome :)
[10:56] <X|Rolando> I'm trying to get multiple sounds to work in dapper, but I'm not sure how to
[10:56] <X|Rolando> one older guide is suggesting that I change some alsa thingy from hw to dmix
[10:57] <lampshade> do a quick search for linux-image in synpatic or apt-cache and you'll see what I mean.  there are two 686 images, but the one that doesn't mention SMP seems to have an older revision number(just slight, not major) but this confuses me
[10:57] <onikos> hello, is "build essential" made up of gcc and make, only?
[10:57] <ardchoille> zaudragon: I am wondering if your user was somehow taken out of the admi group or whether it was just the sudoers file that changed.
[10:57] <ardchoille> *admin
[10:57] <Jack_Smirnoff> If you follow the wiki about restoring a backup from a tar image and you are running live will that write to the hard drive or the ramdrive that the live is using?
[10:58] <FusionXN1> Does anyone know why my 2nd harddrive is not showing under computer
[10:58] <MrDumbom> Hi, im a newbe on Ubuntu and i will get my Ralink 2500 connect to internet. I run a ad-hoc network here
[10:58] <Flannel> lampshade: whats the older version number?
[10:58] <soundray> FusionXN1: what kind of harddrive is it?
[10:59] <Jack_Smirnoff> FusionXN1: what is the format on that drive
[11:00] <J-_> i can't write to the sda partition table. it says cylinders are set to 36481. and i thought formatting a external hard drive was easy....
[11:00] <lampshade> <IP_ADDRESS> vs the SMP kernel of 2.6.15-26.45
[11:00] <Flannel> lampshade: which arch is this for?
[11:01] <soundray> onikos: build-essential depends on gcc, g++, make and dpkg-dev
[11:01] <ardchoille> uname -a returns: "Linux home-desktop 2.6.15-26-386 #1 PREEMPT", is that a special type of kernel?
[11:01] <FusionXN1> sound SATA
[11:01] <FusionXN1> jack - EXT3
[11:02] <soundray> no, ardchoille, on my stock kernel, uname reports similarly
[11:02] <ardchoille> soundray: ok, thanks
[11:02] <lampshade> Flannel: dapper
[11:02] <Flannel> lampshade: right, which arch? 386? 686? ppc?
[11:02] <soundray> FusionXN1: have you got any other operating systems?
[11:02] <FusionXN1> sound no
[11:03] <J-_> there is a guide i can use to format my hard drive to  ext3?
[11:03] <Flannel> J-_: just run gparted, and format it.
[11:03] <lampshade> oh sorry, 686 both of them sorry.  I have a 686 machine (Pentium M) which is running a 386 kernel right now.  both those versions I gave you a few lines ago are for the 686 kernels
[11:03] <soundray> J-_: gksudo gparted
[11:03] <bauerbob> hi
[11:04] <soundray> FusionXN1: is your first drive SATA, too?
[11:04] <TheMoebius> how do I set when application I want opening movies when i double click on it?
[11:04] <Flannel> lampshade: that's odd.  Dapper doesn't have -smp kernels, they're just all SMP.
[11:05] <FusionXN1> sound all 3 - the other 2 show
[11:05] <bauerbob> can s.o. explain me the boot process of the ubuntu cd? when is /casper/filesystem.squashfs being mounted? what about initrd?
[11:05] <johlin> All the guides on the rt2500 that I find include apt-getting gcc but that's hard to do without any internet connection. Is there a simpler way to get the card to work? It does activate for my friend but pinging google for example just says unknown host
[11:05] <lampshade> maybe that's it, maybe that's what I'm missing, that no matter which of these I choose in the background it will install the other packages anyway.  That's what I'm thinking
[11:05] <Zooliegsm> ok,back again....any good movie editor with mp3 support????
[11:05] <Valehru_Airport> Hey, does anyone know a way I can view the status of torrents from the console if the azureus gui is already running?
[11:05] <lampshade> that one is a metapackage of the other or something
[11:05] <soundray> FusionXN1: are they all connected to the same controller?
[11:06] <FusionXN1> sound ya
[11:06] <lampshade> well thanks for the help, I'm gonna go install that kernel now.  bbl
[11:06] <FusionXN1> i just formatted it and i can get to it via /media/sdc1
[11:06] <FusionXN1> but its not in the computer
[11:06] <Oak3> hi, after changing my mac address with maccanger o ifconfig ping returns destination host unreachable. what could be the problem?
[11:07] <Raito> Is it normal to have no music with wine games? What packages might I need?
[11:07] <bauerbob> perhaps s.o. knows the full kernel parameter list i need to use for booting the ubuntu cd manually ...?
[11:07] <soundray> FusionXN1: have you restarted nautilus since you mounted it?
[11:07] <J-_> how long will it take to format the ext. hard drive?(300gb)
[11:07] <Zooliegsm> ok,back again....any good movie editor with mp3 support????
[11:07] <FusionXN1> sound - i have restarted the operating system...
[11:08] <FusionXN1> Ill restart again ina  sec
[11:08] <bauerbob> J-_: creating a new filesystem? about a minute, i guess
[11:08] <micahcowan> Raito: a better place to ask that might be #winehq. Your answer probably depends on the game you're trying to run.
[11:08] <Raito> oh, thanks
[11:09] <FusionXN1> sound "nautilus" how do i retsart it
[11:09] <J-_> i jsut hope all this fooling around on the hdd  doesn't damage the disk.
[11:09] <Zajin> Does anyone know why I can't mute mplayer when pressing 'm'? The man says it's possible. Every other distributions provided mplayer mutes itself then.
[11:09] <zaudragon> ardchoille: well, I have sudo access now
[11:09] <soundray> FusionXN1: 'killall nautilus'
[11:10] <FusionXN1> What will it do?
[11:10] <bauerbob> fooling around? what do you think ubuntu can do to your hard disk? send out some spider droids to infiltrate it???
[11:10] <zaudragon> looks like I wasn't in the admin group, ardchoille
[11:10] <J-_> who knows
[11:10] <ardchoille> zaudragon: W00T! Glad you got it back :)
[11:10] <mkns> arghh!  spider droids!!!
[11:10] <FusionXN1> Ok sound - still not working
[11:10] <ardchoille> zaudragon: Yeah, that was one of my suspicions
[11:10] <zaudragon> ardchoille: thanks to you ;)
[11:11] <ardchoille> zaudragon: Happy to help :)
[11:11] <zaudragon> it doesn
[11:11] <zaudragon> 't make sense though; you shouldn't be able to edit the sudoers file and remove yourself via sudo ;)
[11:11] <ardchoille> zaudragon: root can do anything
[11:11] <skooj> err... can someone help me get my microphone working? it has nothing to do with mic volume as i've tried that. and i just installed oss support and that doesnt seem to work either.. I can hear fine, I just can't seem to speak..
[11:12] <gregg__> zaudragon: sudo rm -rf / is also possible :)
[11:12] <seeker__> ardchoille: hi there fat albert :)
[11:12] <zaudragon> gregg__: good thing I have nothing on this less-than-a-day-old system
[11:12] <ardchoille> seeker__: ?
[11:12] <mkns> arghh!  rm -fr /!!!
[11:12] <soundray> FusionXN1: can you see your harddrive if you navigate to it in Nautilus with Go-Location and enter computer:///media/sdc1/
[11:12] <zaudragon> mkns: alphabetical order?
[11:12] <FusionXN1> sound yes
[11:12] <keito> have anyone heard of problems with ubuntu on a MSI K8NGM2 motherboard before? i've tried with both the AMD64 and x86 ubuntu 6.06 cds, but it hangs every time on the kernel booting
[11:12] <Howitzer> Could anyone tell me where to get compiz themes?
[11:13] <mkns> eh?
[11:13] <ic56> zaudragon: it does make sense.  In the same way that way to change your password is to first provide your old password
[11:13] <Zooliegsm> ok,back again....any good movie editor with mp3 support????
[11:13] <Howitzer> because i hate the Compiz window deco's included
[11:13] <zaudragon> Zooliegsm: I was going to say iMovie, but that's for OS X :D
[11:13] <J-_> still "applying listed operations"
[11:13] <kaatil> in my opinion, ubuntu is awesome.. that all i can say about it now. :)
[11:13] <zaudragon> ic56: ah ok
[11:13] <FusionXN1> kaat - ya cept some hardware dont work x(
[11:13] <kaatil> yeahg
[11:14] <ic56> zaudragon: rm -d doesn't do what you think it does.  Also, it's unnecessary in conjunction with rm -r
[11:14] <gregg__> zaudragon: I think that doesn't work :)
[11:14] <kaatil> i purhased sub300(from canada) then install ubuntu over linspire anyway
[11:14] <zaudragon> fine :(
[11:14] <kaatil> it is not bad
[11:14] <zaudragon> it's just habit, then
[11:14] <gregg__> zaudragon: it's the same as kill -9 1
[11:14] <soundray> FusionXN1: just access it that way, then
[11:14] <lindztr> Hi. I am looking for a program to play audio from the line-in in realtime, does anyone know a program to do that?
[11:15] <gregg__> or does this one actually work?
[11:15] <FusionXN1> sound - it should still show on the computer
[11:15] <kaatil> i do like automatix.. thank god for that.. without it there no such as  video player on ubuntu. :)
[11:15] <zaudragon> gregg__: well, there are processes you can't kill
[11:15] <zaudragon> the kernel, for instance, probably won't die
[11:16] <Shaezsche>  modem doesnt work, scanmodem says i need the driver:   SmartLink slamr 2000:2800 Gateway SL2800    122d:2800
[11:16] <endgamer> Hi folks - got a recommendation request. Probably an "of course not, dumbass" question, but I thought it was worth a try. Does anyone know of an application out there that does the same as Rythmbox, but for video? Ie a nice clean interface which keeps its size instead of spawning new windows for each file, media library features etc. I've scoured the net and everyone says there's nothing better than Xine, etc. etc. but Xine
[11:16] <endgamer> still seems pretty *rough*, you know? Background: I'm a fairly experienced Linux geek, been using it as a desktop for about 6 years now, running uptodate Ubuntu.
[11:16] <gregg__> yeah, but the init process (always PID 1) normally behaves like a normal process just does :)
[11:16] <jesspher> do any of you know any cool game for linux ubuntu?
[11:16] <seeker__> jesspher: ROFL! you must be joking!
[11:17] <ardchoille> W00T! Ubuntu counter: 4124 Users with 6146 Machines  =)
[11:17] <seeker__> jesspher: if you seek games, get an ps2 or xbox
[11:17] <fistandantilus> enemy territory is pretty sweet, and free
[11:17] <Agrajag> jesspher: I like UT2004, or quake 3/4, but those are not free
[11:17] <endgamer> seeker: Now that's harsh. There's always chess with all the pieces replaced with Tux <lol>
[11:17] <zaudragon> Battle for Wesnoth?
[11:17] <zaudragon> oooh! Tetris in emacs! :D
[11:17] <seeker__> Agrajag: if you want to play quake etc, get an xbox
[11:17] <ic56> zaudragon: the kernel isn't a process (yes, it *is* a running program, but operating systems designers define processes as anything *but* the kernel).  However, traditionally the kernel dies if init dies because without init, the kernel is pretty useless.  Unsure if the Linux kernel acts this way by default.   Not that I'm bitter or anything <g>
[11:18] <gregg__> ic56: won't the kernel respawn init?
[11:18] <Garnol> can anyone give me a link to a Linux distribution for a arm based smartphone ?? (in google i cant find anything ...)
[11:18] <lindztr> does anyone know a program to play sound from the line-in port in real-time (live)
[11:19] <Dimitrije> Hello, i have a problem with Ubuntu 5.10 and gnome-ppp. I can't install gnome-ppp and get to the internet. While ./configure i get an error that i need XML::Parser perl module. I already installed that but didn't help.
[11:19] <FusionXN1> ANyway to stop the drives showing on the desktop/
[11:19] <zaudragon> Dimitrije: it might not be in the Perl equivalent of $PATH
[11:19] <endgamer> jesspher: Best advice: Subscribe to Transgaming/Cedega (it's only like $5 per month), look up some Windows games in their database, buy, install, play.
[11:19] <Jack_Smirnoff> FusionXN1:  yes
[11:19] <ic56> gregg_: In traditional unix, the kernel doesn't respawn init.   :-)  I would but I've got open files that I'm not finished editing right now.
[11:19] <FusionXN1> jack how
[11:19] <ardchoille> FusionXN1: Which drives? Mounted drives?
[11:19] <mkns> perl @INC
[11:19] <zaudragon> FusionXN1: Desktop Settings
[11:19] <FusionXN1> ya
[11:20] <FusionXN1> wheres desktop settings
[11:20] <zaudragon> ic56: eh? Killing is a sin :D
[11:20] <recon0> Does anyone know how I can get my palm pilot working w/Ubuntu?
[11:20] <rellik> whats the default root password on a new install?
[11:20] <Agrajag> rellik: there isn't one
[11:20] <mkns> Dimitrije - where is XML::Parser installed?
[11:20] <ardchoille> FusionXN1: Open gconf-editor and go to apps/nautilus/desktop
[11:20] <Dimitrije> I don't know i used the default path...
[11:20] <Agrajag> rellik: that is, there is no root password. If you need root access use sudo
[11:20] <endgamer> recon0: sudo apt-get install gnome-pilot. Then pray!  (I'm using a USB cable).
[11:21] <zaudragon> ic56: fine I'm going to try :D
[11:21] <Dimitrije> Ummm, terminal not handy :D
[11:21] <ic56> zaudragon: killing is only sinful if your god didn't request the sacrifice. :-)  Most gods, including the Judeo-Christian one, ask for a sacrifice now and then
[11:21] <gregg__> ic56: yeah, the *BSDs reboot... I guess I'll have to whip out some live CD ;)
[11:21] <FusionXN1> jack done
[11:21] <FusionXN1> thanks mate
[11:21] <Dimitrije> What do i do after that?
[11:22] <mkns> are you on your Ubuntu box right now?
[11:22] <FusionXN1> Now i need my 3rd hdd to show in computer
[11:22] <Dimitrije> I can't get on internet without gnome-ppp...
[11:22] <Dimitrije> So no.
[11:22] <Jack_Smirnoff> np
[11:22] <Jack_Smirnoff> FusionXN1: is that the external?
[11:22] <FusionXN1> internal sata
[11:22] <ic56> gregg_: no need for liveCD.  Just go into single user mode, then type sync until the disk heads stop moving.  The kill.  With any luck even fsck won't be necessary when you boot.
[11:22] <mkns> ok.  to find out whether XML::Parser is in your path or not, running that will start up the perl debugger in a mode which allows you to run commands one at a time by typing them in
[11:22] <FusionXN1> i can get to it via /media/sdc1
[11:22] <ic56> zaudragon: alright!  A man with balls!
[11:22] <FusionXN1> but its not in computer
[11:23] <zaudragon> ic56: nothing happened
[11:23] <zaudragon> l4m3
[11:23] <ic56> zaudragon: where you root while doing the killing?
[11:23] <fausto_> Hi, I am having a problem mounting a partition in Ubuntu. I recently formatted my Windows partition but left my other partition (containing files, folders, etc.) in tact as a FAT32 partition. Now I can access the drive by going to the "Disks" menu and changing the access path to some random folder and then I go to that folder and I can view it but I can't edit any of them. I also have to do this every time I boot up. How would I go about
[11:23] <fausto_>  getting Ubuntu to mount this ON STARTUP and with read and write permissions.
[11:23] <endgamer> recon0: Mine (Treo 650) comes up as /dev/ttyUSB1. That's pretty common. If that doesn't work, plug it in after installing gnome-pilot, hit the sync button and scan /dev to see what new item pops up in there. It'll probably create two nodes, something like ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1 - usually the second one is the right one. I know, it's kind of voodoo!
[11:23] <mkns> the point here is that running that one command will either work with no warning, or it'll warn you that it can't find XML::Parser in your path.  Either way, hit 'q' and press enter to return to your terminal
[11:23] <zaudragon> ic56:  sudo kill -9 1
[11:23] <mkns> follow so far?
[11:23] <Jack_Smirnoff> fausto_: diskmounter script
[11:24] <zaudragon> hmmm, now I need to find out how to automount a partition; anybody?
[11:24] <gregg__> ic56: or remount / read-only
[11:24] <fausto_> Jack ... where would I get that?
[11:24] <Jack_Smirnoff> http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/files/diskmounter
[11:24] <ic56> zaudragon: windows partition?
[11:24] <gregg__> ic56: the problem is, I don't have any installed linux here right now
[11:24] <Jack_Smirnoff> zaudragon: same link
[11:24] <zaudragon> ic56: HFS+
[11:24] <Dimitrije> Yes.
[11:24] <mkns> (assuming you're still with me) - to find out the directories that are in Perl's @INC array (i.e. path) run this:  $ perl -e 'print join( "\n", @INC )'
[11:25] <johlin> is there a way to get the built-essential package to a windows computer, put it on a external harddrive and get it to a ubuntu computer without internet?
[11:25] <Dimitrije> Ok.
[11:25] <Jack_Smirnoff> diskmounter is for windows partitions
[11:25] <fausto_> And so I save that in a *.pl file and run it?
[11:25] <zaudragon> ic56: what's the file that runs on login/startup?
[11:25] <ic56> zaudragon: this script handles HFS too.   BTW, use the -b flag -- it will give yo a backup of your /etc/fstab  So you can compare before and after
[11:25] <mkns> the point is that you need to figure out where XML::Parser is installed.  The *real* question I have for you though is - how did you install XML::Parser?
[11:25] <endgamer> recon0: What you want to do is install the Pilot app in the system tray/toolbar (right click on the bar and select Add to Panel, it should appear somewhere in the page. If not look in synaptic or do an apt-cache search for pilot app. Once it's installed you'll get a Pilot icon in your toolbar which pretty much does everything you want.
[11:25] <jrib> johlin: build-essential is on the install disc
[11:25] <johlin> jrib: nice
[11:26] <seeker__> is kgpgp the gui program for encrypting files?
[11:26] <Dimitrije> I installed it buy unpacking the archive and runing perl Makefile.Pl and than sudo make install
[11:26] <jrib> !info kgpg
[11:26] <ubotu> kgpg: GnuPG frontend for KDE. In repository universe, is optional. Version 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu8 (dapper), package size 431 kB, installed size 1376 kB
[11:26] <lindztr> Hi. I am looking for a program to play audio from the line-in/microphone in realtime, does anyone know a program to do that?
[11:26] <Dimitrije> And make of course betwean that.
[11:26] <mkns> Dimitrije - that was wrong
[11:26] <jrib> seeker__: yes, but it is kgpg, not kgpgp
[11:26] <endgamer> So, anyone got a suggestion for my Rythmbox video question?
[11:26] <IRCMonkeyx> hi people, when i try to login as root from login screen, it says not allowed, what is the reason?
[11:26] <mkns> what you *should* have done was : sudo apt-get install libxml-parser-perl
[11:26] <Dimitrije> That what it was in readme file...
[11:27] <Dimitrije> But i don't have internet...
[11:27] <Agrajag> IRCMonkeyx: did you set up a root password?
[11:27] <ardchoille> seeker__: kgpg is one of them, Seahorse is another one (for gnome)
[11:27] <mkns> why install a perl module from a tarball when it's packaged for you?
[11:27] <jonass> i have installed apache2 and mysqld on my ubuntu box but i do not want them to start automatically. what to do?
[11:27] <mkns> you don't have the internet, but somehow you got the tarball on to the box...?
[11:27] <Dimitrije> I have it on install disk?
[11:27] <Jack_Smirnoff> IRCMonkeyx: use sudo or gksudo or kdesu
[11:27] <ic56> zaudragon: at startup, init reads /etc/inittab which tells it to run /etc/init.d/rc with various arguments.  Depending on the arguments, rc executes various scripts located in /etc/rc?.d
[11:27] <Dimitrije> I have winblows...
[11:27] <mkns> jonass - read up on update-rc.d
[11:28] <IRCMonkeyx> Agrajag	: yes i did it, i  try to login, from first login screen not from terminal
[11:28] <ic56> zaudragon: so sudo kill -9 1 didn't kill nothing?  Huh
[11:28] <seeker__> jrib: is I install kgpg, will that install all I need?
[11:28] <zaudragon> ic56: or, I didn't have any extra processes open
[11:28] <ardchoille> IRCMonkeyx: The root account is disabled in Ubuntu. Log into your user account and use sudo in a term for admin tasks.
[11:28] <Agrajag> IRCMonkeyx: GDM probably won't let you log in as root. why do you want to log in to Gnome or KDE or whatever you use as root?
[11:28] <zaudragon> ic56: but yeah, Terminal stayed
[11:28] <kaatil> we have 4 comps in house...  2 winxp, 1 win 98, and 1 ubuntu(that me on it. :) )
[11:28] <mkns> Dimitrije - what install disk is it you speak of?
[11:28] <Agrajag> That;s a really bad idea.
[11:28] <jrib> seeker__: it will install what you need to run kgpg, I'm not sure what you want to do
[11:28] <zaudragon> kaatil: haha, I have more, but all 6 have OS X, this one haveing both
[11:29] <IRCMonkeyx> just too see the difference
[11:29] <Dimitrije> I get it from shipit. One install CD and live.
[11:29] <Agrajag> much better to just use sudo or gksudo to get root priveleges
[11:29] <kaatil> OS X? i see :)
[11:29] <Jack_Smirnoff> Dimitrije: live is also install other is alternate
[11:29] <IRCMonkeyx> i use su -
[11:29] <jonass> hibernate is not working at my laptop. maybe after i installed the prop. ati drivers?
[11:29] <Agrajag> The difference is root is allowed to do nasty things and break the entire OS. the desktop will not act any different, except to alert you that logging in as root is a bad idea.
[11:29] <Ignite_> !info automake1.6
[11:29] <ubotu> Package automake1.6 does not exist in dapper
[11:29] <Ignite_> :'(
[11:30] <gnomefreak> !info automake
[11:30] <ubotu> Package automake does not exist in dapper
[11:30] <zaudragon> jonass: it didn't work
[11:30] <Dimitrije> Jack_Smirnoff, I am talking about 5.10.
[11:30] <kaatil> i never touch root account except for sudo.
[11:30] <IRCMonkeyx> i see, and any warning by being root by su - , not with sudo
[11:30] <Jack_Smirnoff> ah
[11:30] <kaatil> sudo on other account of course
[11:30] <mkns> Dimitrije - download the deb from https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/dapper/i386/libxml-parser-perl/2.34-4 when using Windows, burn it to a CD and reboot in to Ubuntu and install from the CD
[11:30] <jonass> what didn't work?
[11:30] <eyequeue> as user, you get told only root can do it, then you get to think and do it anyway IF safe, with sudo :)
[11:30] <zaudragon> jonass: sorry meant Jack_Smirnoff
[11:30] <Dimitrije> Thanks mkns.
[11:30] <mkns> ok
[11:30] <jonass> ok :>
[11:31] <endgamer> Fair enough. Presumably noone knows. recon0: any luck?
[11:31] <Jack_Smirnoff> zaudragon: what?
[11:31] <eyequeue> IRCMonkeyx, really do read this if you havent
[11:31] <ardchoille> eyequeue: Indeed, that password prompt is quite an attention getter :)
[11:31] <zaudragon> the script != work
[11:31] <eyequeue> !rootsudo > IRCMonkeyx
[11:31] <Dimitrije> If i come in 10 minutes i did it :)
[11:31] <recon0> endgamer: nope. i'm trying my luck w/jpilot
[11:31] <mkns> i'll be here :)
[11:31] <eyequeue> IRCMonkeyx, "sudo -i" is in there, and may be what you want ;)
[11:32] <PseudoPlacebo> Quick question, if I want to share a partition between windows and Ubuntu, what format should it be?
[11:32] <Agrajag> fat32
[11:32] <endgamer> recon0: What did you get when you ran gnome-pilot setup?
[11:32] <PseudoPlacebo> 'kay.
[11:32] <PseudoPlacebo> Many thanks.
[11:32] <IRCMonkeyx> eyequeue: thanx, started to read
[11:32] <zaudragon> Jack_Smirnoff: wait, actually, it was added to /etc/fstab but diskmounter didn't mount the partition automatically
[11:32] <eyequeue> some say ext2 is okay as a transfer fs too
[11:32] <eyequeue> !ext2
[11:32] <ubotu> I know nothing about ext2 - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[11:32] <eyequeue> !ext
[11:32] <ccc_> seeker__: kgpg maintains your gpg keys and encrypts mail etc. it is not a pgpdisk equivalent.
[11:32] <Jack_Smirnoff> zaudragon: you need to restart
[11:32] <ubotu> I know nothing about ext - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[11:33] <fausto_> Jack_Smirnoff: I ran diskmounter, ran great, it says the disks are mounted and I don't need to reboot but I can't see them? Where would they be?
[11:33] <Jack_Smirnoff> zaudragon: I know the script says you dont.. but you do
[11:33] <zaudragon> Jack_Smirnoff: too bad, already mounted manually
[11:33] <zaudragon> works just as well
[11:33] <Jack_Smirnoff> fausto_: restart x
[11:33] <fausto_> Oh ok. Thanks.
[11:33] <Jack_Smirnoff> I need to fix that line in the script
[11:33] <ic56> Jack_Smirnoff: shouldn't need to reboot after running diskmounter.  Something must be odd about your system
[11:34] <zaudragon> ic56: my system too
[11:34] <Jack_Smirnoff> ic56: trust me, to see them on the desktop restart x
[11:34] <IRCMonkeyx> eyequeue: when i try to enter to some directories from nailatius , it says to me u dont have root right to change this etc.
[11:34] <eyequeue> ccc_, pgpdisk, that was the ms-only thing that did what cfs did in linux?
[11:34] <recon0> endgamer:sry, disconnect.
[11:34] <ic56> zaudragon: which version of the script did you run? sh diskmounter -V  should report it
[11:34] <endgamer> recon0: What did you get when you ran the gnome-pilot setup?
[11:34] <Jack_Smirnoff> IRCMonkeyx: You can use term and sudo nautilus
[11:34] <ic56> zaudragon: assuming you are using a recent version (the old ones don't have -V)
[11:35] <eyequeue> cfsd (8)             - cryptographic file system daemon
[11:35] <recon0> endgamer: what usually happens is I get to the "initial sync" screen, but when I try to sync my clie PEG-s300, it doesn't do anything.
[11:35] <ardchoille> IRCMonkeyx: use gksudo nautilus, rather than sudo nautilus
[11:35] <ccc_> eyequeue: yes, sort of
[11:35] <zaudragon> ic56: doesn't have it
[11:35] <zaudragon> but never mind
[11:35] <jonass> hibernate is not working at my laptop. maybe after i installed the prop. ati drivers?
[11:35] <Samus_Aran> can someone explain to me why there are no dictionaries for OpenOffice.org ?
[11:35] <fausto_> I also have been having a problem on boot up where the screen goes blank and I can't do anything. If I hit Ctrl+F1 and go to command line and then keep hitting it to prevent it going to the GUI and then waiting for it to be done and then hitting CTRL+F7 it works but it's just kind of a pain. I've googled the problem and that's the only solution I can find. My video card is an ATI All-In-Wonder 8500DV
[11:35] <Samus_Aran> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 786 2006-07-10 14:12 /usr/lib/openoffice/share/wordbook/en-US/soffice.dic
[11:35] <AnarchOi> n
[11:35] <eyequeue> IRCMonkeyx, ewww, here's where we drift apart :)  i was thinking console, not gui
[11:35] <endgamer> You ran the setup from system tools/pilot configuration, right?
[11:35] <Jack_Smirnoff> IRCMonkeyx: yes gksudo nautilus
[11:35] <AnarchOi> n
[11:35] <Samus_Aran> that is the only dictionary showing up, it is empty
[11:35] <ic56> zaudragon: ok.  gotta run anyway
[11:35] <Jack_Smirnoff> my bad
[11:35] <zaudragon> bye ic56
[11:36] <IRCMonkeyx> friends, i dont mean from terminal, when i write that command to terminal, will nailatus change ???
[11:36] <Samus_Aran> I've been trying to get a spellchecker in OO.o for days, I've installed every package I can think of, but there simply aren't any dictionaries
[11:36] <eyequeue> IRCMonkeyx, i think the command "gksudo" exists for gui apps, but someone here will have to help you with it
[11:36] <jrib> Samus_Aran: I believe it uses myspell
[11:36] <Samus_Aran> jrib: it doesn't, though.  it is using that file I just pasted
[11:36] <Samus_Aran> which is only 700 characters long
[11:36] <Jack_Smirnoff> IRCMonkeyx: no nautilus is the same, just sudo for that session
[11:37] <eyequeue> IRCMonkeyx, btw, most gui apps can be launched from a terminal, just don't close the terminal until it's done :)  nautilus might be one of them
[11:37] <Awesome-o2000> where is my auto rejoin when kicked option in xchat?
[11:37] <ardchoille> IRCMonkeyx: running gksudo nautilus from a terminal starts nautilus as root in the /root h9ome directory. But, be careful, that instance of nautilus can do anything on the system.
[11:37] <fausto_> Anybody have a clue as to what's going on with my comp? It worked great until I upgraded to Ubuntu Dapper.
[11:37] <Samus_Aran> although strangely it doesn't highlight every word in the document as being invalid, it just does nothing
[11:37] <fausto_> Breezy didn't do this
[11:37] <Hexidigital> in a /etc/network/interfaces, is the wireless-essid necessary? can i set two essids, or will they clash?
[11:37] <X|Rolando> alsa cant play multiple sounds simultaneously for some reason :(
[11:38] <Jack_Smirnoff> fausto_: upgrades are problematic since no one could anticipate everything a user may have done to their system..
[11:38] <fausto_> Got it. Good enough for me.
[11:38] <digital> Is there something wrong with the database part of OpenOffice?
[11:38] <digital> Every time I try to create a database it crashes
[11:38] <seagulltheme> yeah, me too o_o
[11:38] <IRCMonkeyx> ardchoille: how can i be careful ? what shouldnt  i do ? or what should i do for protecting system ?
[11:38] <jrib> Samus_Aran: which myspell dictionaries did you install?
[11:38] <Jack_Smirnoff> fausto_: did you have a backup
[11:38] <mcquaid> hello, i know you can use rdesktop to connect to an xp box, but is there any way to do remote assistance?
[11:39] <ardchoille> IRCMonkeyx: Just remember that you can delete almost any file on the system with a gksudo nautilus window, so it's best to think about what you're doing as you work.
[11:39] <Jack_Smirnoff> IRCMonkeyx: yes, use POWER tools with care
[11:39] <fausto_> And now one more question. I installed VMWare and installed Windows XP as a virtual disk (it works like a charm!) but I am unable to get it to connect it to the internet. I have tried both bridge and NAT and neither of them can get windows to get an IP address or so much as recognize that it's on a network. Anyone have a link or want to walk me through that?
[11:39] <section3> is it possible to create a new directory and new file in one command...something like 'touch newdir/newfile'
[11:40] <IRCMonkeyx> ardchoille: ohh i see, i know that danger, thanx for warning
[11:40] <ardchoille> IRCMonkeyx: You're welcome :)
[11:40] <X|Rolando> alsa cant play multiple sounds simultaneously for some reason :( might anyone be able to help me?
[11:40] <kennyt> where's the dev package for wireless-tools?
[11:40] <tuliomgui> where is the grub.conf in ubuntu??
[11:40] <IRCMonkeyx> Jack_Smirnoff: power tools ? you mean the things releated with acpi ?
[11:40] <mkns>  it is in /boot/grub
[11:41] <jrib> tuliomgui: /boot/grub/menu.lst is that what you want?
[11:41] <Jack_Smirnoff> IRCMonkeyx: no, I mean using gksudo
[11:41] <tuliomgui> mkns: grub.conf ?
[11:41] <goonies> what is better, a ubuntu kernel or a kernel from kernel.org
[11:41] <mkns> menu.lst, as jrib said
[11:41] <Jack_Smirnoff> boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:41] <mkns> goonies - if you can get the ubuntu one to work, you will likely save yourself much hassle
[11:42] <Samus_Aran> jrib: okay I just went and installed every myspell package I could find.  most were already installed, some were not
[11:42] <goonies> why does ubuntu use menu.lst, other distros ive used use grub.conf
[11:42] <tuliomgui> menu.lst thanks everyone!! =D
[11:42] <Samus_Aran> jrib: will restart and see if it makes a difference
[11:42] <kennyt> there's no wireless-tools-dev and no header packages for *wireless* or *wifi*
[11:42] <mkns> goonies - that's not ubuntu specific, it changed quite a while back
[11:42] <goonies> really
[11:42] <endgamer> recon0: Hope you get it sorted, anyway - have to dash!
[11:42] <goonies> now its menu.lst
[11:42] <mkns> it's menu.lst on my debian etch box
[11:42] <goonies> gentoo might still be on an older grub i guess
[11:43] <MtJB> have the ubuntu secufrity servers been hacked?
[11:43] <kennyt> goonies: gentoo has both, one links to the other :)
[11:43] <jrib> Samus_Aran: just restart openoffice
gentoo is pish</opinion>
[11:43] <goonies> thats what was confusing me kenny
[11:43] <goonies> heh
[11:43] <IRCMonkeyx> lets try the danger command, thanx for help, coming back, if i dont damage my system :)
[11:43] <goonies> anyway back to kernels, i like the performance i get from ubuntu kernels over the kernel.org ones, must be the way its configured
[11:44] <Samus_Aran> jrib: that's what I meant.  done.  no difference.  when I go to spell check, it immediately says "completed, do you want to restart at the top of the document ?", I click "yes", it closes the window
[11:44] <jrib> Samus_Aran: make sure tools > options > language has a language selected with an "abc" checkmark next to it
[11:44] <Samus_Aran> jrib: no mispellings are underlined in red
[11:44] <puppet> goonies: just compile your own with the make pakckage for kernel
[11:44] <puppet> that makes your own .deb
[11:44] <goonies> anyone know a program that allows u to specify layerbreaks?
[11:44] <goonies> burning program
[11:44] <goonies> puppet, i have =)
[11:45] <Samus_Aran> jrib: well the "Language Settings" appears now.  it was not there when I went to Tools > Options yesterday.  hopefully I can turn on a spellchecker now
[11:45] <mkns> puppet - but you've got to go through the process of choosing a bazzillion things whereas the ubuntu packaged one might just work
[11:46] <fausto_> And now one more question. I installed VMWare and installed Windows XP as a virtual disk (it works like a charm!) but I am unable to get it to connect it to the internet. I have tried both bridge and NAT and neither of them can get windows to get an IP address or so much as recognize that it's on a network. Anyone have a link or want to walk me through that?
[11:46] <Samus_Aran> jrib: the only one that shows up in the top is "OO.o Hunspell SpellChecker"
[11:46] <Samus_Aran> jrib: as well as a thesaurus
[11:47] <erUSUL> mkns: just copy the ubuntu kernel config and use make oldconfig
[11:47] <jrib> Samus_Aran: yes, that is what I have as well
[11:47] <puppet> mkns: no, not with the script
[11:47] <goonies> anyone know a burning program that allows u to specify layerbreaks?
[11:48] <mkns> this is true
[11:48] <mkns> but installing the package is quicker for me...
[11:50] <Samus_Aran> jrib: restarted, still not working.  the drop-down for "Edit" on the dictionary shows English for Australia, Great Britain and USA.  I want the UK English, but any time I select it and close the window, it reverts to Australia English .. and none of it produces any spell checking
[11:51] <eigenlambda> why can itunes on my mac access the shared files from rhythmbox, but service-discovery-applet doesn't know that my mac is sharing files?
[11:51] <goonies> anyway to share music on a linux box to a xbox360?
[11:52] <solomon> Hi everybody
[11:52] <tuxtux> reboot bye
[11:52] <jrib> Samus_Aran: what is selected in tools > options > language settings > language > default languages for documents > western?
[11:52] <Samus_Aran> goonies: does the XBox support streaming MP3s ?  if so, install IceCast
[11:52] <lindztr> Hi. I am still looking for a program to play audio from the line-in/microphone in realtime, does anyone know a program to do that?
[11:52] <ku> !mplayer
[11:52] <ubotu> mplayer is a media player. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MPlayer/Compile to compile it from source or enable multiverse repo and type sudo apt-get install mplayer for more info please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MPlayer
[11:52] <ubotu> For Codecs try !codecs Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MplayerInstallHowto for installation tips.
[11:52] <goonies> yeah it does, but in order to use it i have to use windows media connect
[11:52] <kaatil> !xine
[11:52] <ubotu> I know nothing about xine - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[11:52] <goonies> was wondering if there was an alternative for linux
[11:53] <Samus_Aran> jrib: English (Canada)
[11:53] <rpedro_> lindztr: huh? just unmute the channels
[11:53] <fausto_> And now one more question. I installed VMWare and installed Windows XP as a virtual disk (it works like a charm!) but I am unable to get it to connect it to the internet. I have tried both bridge and NAT and neither of them can get windows to get an IP address or so much as recognize that it's on a network. Anyone have a link or want to walk me through that?
[11:53] <jrib> Samus_Aran: set that to what you desire, make sure it has the "abc" checkmark next to it
[11:53] <Jack_Smirnoff> goonies: Mac, WIndows, and many more
[11:53] <goonies> Jack_Smirnoff, do u have a 360?
[11:53] <rpedro_> lindztr: unless you mean you want to *record*
[11:54] <lindztr> rpedro_: no, not to record.
[11:54] <Jack_Smirnoff> no
[11:54] <fausto_> Anybody?
[11:54] <goonies> if i install it though i can share music with my 360?
[11:55] <Howitzer> I remember there was a way to play 3D-games in XGL by starting them up in their own X server
[11:55] <Samus_Aran> jrib: okay done: <ABC> English (UK)
[11:55] <Howitzer> however, i can't find the guide on the forums using the search
[11:55] <lindztr> rpedro_: you are a star in the book! why am I that slow today?! must be the hot weather ;)
[11:55] <Samus_Aran> jrib: still no spellchecking being done
[11:55] <Howitzer> anyone that can help?
[11:55] <Samus_Aran> jrib: I restarted OO.o
[11:56] <jrib> Samus_Aran: k, make sure the dictionary is using uk as well
[11:56] <jrib> with the "edit" button you used before
[11:56] <Samus_Aran> jrib: it reset the document one to English (Canada) now
[11:56] <jrib> Samus_Aran: hmm, that won't do
[11:56] <Samus_Aran> jrib: the edit button shows "English (Australia)" and if I change it, it always reverts to that
[11:57] <ku> Darn... does anyone know how to make youtube sound come out? It worked before I updated firefox, and now I can't seem to find the guide that I followed to get it to work in the first place.
[11:57] <doctormo> should ubuntu be able to mount a FAT32 usb mass storage device? or is this device NTFS and how do I get it to work or reformat it?
[11:58] <ku> !youtube
[11:58] <ubotu> I know nothing about youtube - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[11:58] <Samus_Aran> jrib: I tried "English (Australia)" in the default document one, and that stuck ... but I would prefer "English (UK)" dictionaries.  it is spellchecking now
[11:58] <neutrinomass> doctormo: AFAIK it should work out of the box ... what happens when you plug it in ?
[11:58] <Samus_Aran> jrib: I did install the myspell dicts for English GB, US and AU
[11:59] <ronald> Dennis Kaarsemaker > What's youre problem
[11:59] <Samus_Aran> doctormo: if it is FAT32, it will be mounted as a SCSI hard drive (/dev/sda or /dev/sda1 if you have no other such devices)
[11:59] <jrib> Samus_Aran: try starting with a blank document and changing the language to UK.  I just changed mine to canada and had to restart OO to get it to go back to USA (my default)
[11:59] <Samus_Aran> doctormo: for NTFS it will only support read-only (no changes can be made)
[12:00] <J-_> there's something obviously not write.... the external hard drive is still "applying listed operations" and that's just putting the ext3 filesystem on the drive.
[12:00] <Samus_Aran> jrib: it seems to think the only dictionary in existance is "English (Australia)"
[12:00] <doctormo> neutrinomass: interestingly it apears as a drive but then says the file system is of unknown type, it has mounted USB Mass storage devices in the past and it works in Windows without drivers... so ntfs perhaps?
[12:00] <ronald> Seveas ???????????????
[12:00] <jrib> Samus_Aran: is there an <abc> next to the western language selection of English (UK)?


[02:59] <nhaines> Meeting coming up.  :)
[02:59] <pleia2> oh goodie, an excuse not to unpack
[02:59] <nhaines> :D
[02:59] <dax> hi nhaines fancy seeing you here
[03:00] <nhaines> Indeed, dax, what happenstance.
[03:00] <nhaines> #startmeeting
[03:00] <darthrobot> Meeting started Mon Feb 12 03:00:15 2018 UTC.  The chair is nhaines. Information about MeetBot at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology.

[03:00] <nhaines> Welcome to the February 11th Ubuntu California meeting!
[03:00] <nhaines> Tonight's agenda can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/18February11
[03:00] <darthrobot> Title: [CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/18February11 - Ubuntu Wiki]
[03:01] <nhaines> Just a brief SCALE update planned tonight.
[03:01] <nhaines> #topic Upcoming events
[03:01] <nhaines> Other than SCALE, is any thing going on soon?  :)
[03:01] <pleia2> nothing from me
[03:02] <nhaines> Nothing from me either.
[03:02] <nhaines> We'll have to start thinking about Ubuntu Hours again after SCALE.  :)
[03:02] <nhaines> #topic Announcements
[03:03] <nhaines> If anyone is interested in speaking at UbuCon, we would like to have a backup ready to go as we finalize our schedule.  More on that on the mailing list.
[03:03] <nhaines> Anything else going on?
[03:04] <nhaines> Oh, LibreOffice 6.0 and VLC 3.0 are available as snaps.
[03:04] <nhaines> They install and run great, although VLC can't seem to figure out how to put video pixels on my screen.  Other than that it works great.
[03:04] <dax> i managed to get my gnupg private key working again and am now trying to revoke it. so that's a matter of great historical importance *nod*
[03:05] <nhaines> I am trying to figure out why I didn't revoke my old GPG key, so that's also a thing.
[03:05] <nhaines> #topic SCALE 16x status update
[03:05] <nhaines> I just got confirmation of our booth earlier today.  We'll be in booth 303 this year.  :)
[03:06] <pleia2> cool
[03:06] <nhaines> If you are interested in volunteering for the Ubuntu booth, we would love to have you!  No experience needed, just love Ubuntu.  But you absolutely must sign up at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Scale16x  :)
[03:06] <darthrobot> Title: [CaliforniaTeam/Projects/Scale16x - Ubuntu Wiki]
[03:07] <nhaines> There's also a list of things there that would be helpful to have, so feel free to sign up, pick a slot on the schedule, and get a free full-access SCALE badge good for the entire week.
[03:08] <nhaines> Richard and I are busy finalizing our schedule for UbuCon at SCALE, with more info at http://ubucon.org/en/events/ubucon-scale/
[03:08] <darthrobot> Title: [UbuCon at SCALE | UbuCon portal]
[03:08] <nhaines> That's about it for now.
[03:08] <nhaines> #topic Other business
[03:08] <nhaines> Anything else before we wrap up the meeting?
[03:08] <pleia2> oh
[03:09] <pleia2> I made this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/ReVerificationApplication2018
[03:09] <darthrobot> Title: [CaliforniaTeam/ReVerificationApplication2018 - Ubuntu Wiki]
[03:09] <pleia2> we should fill it out
[03:09] <nhaines> Oh right, that didn't make it onto my list last week.  But is going on my list for this week.
[03:09] <dax> (elky and I will be at SCaLE, but will probably not be volunteering, we'll see)
[03:09] <pleia2> great, thanks :)
[03:10] <dax> (depending on schedule we might be able to help set up and tear down, I'll need to check with her about it)
[03:10] <nhaines> Fortunately, it is not interfering with our plans for SCALE and in fact the conference pack should arrive tomorrow, which is impressive because I think I only ordered it on Friday.  :)
[03:10] <pleia2> it'll be nice to see you both :) (even if we normally live close-ish, I am antisocial hermit when I'm in town)
[03:10] <nhaines> dax: what significant others love most of all is when you simplify their lives by surprising them with concrete plans.
[03:10] <nhaines> In any case, we'll have to hang out and catch up. :)
[03:11] <pleia2> nhaines: when will we get to see the schedule? :D
[03:11] <dax> yes, it should be quite the party. christel and (I suspect) one or two other staffers will be there too.
[03:11] <pleia2> cool
[03:11] <pleia2> schedule == ubucon
[03:11] <pleia2> not booth
[03:12] <nhaines> pleia2: as soon as we put it together, which will be this week.  Very, very soon.  :)  Also, if you could put your talk into the SCALE CFP system, SCALE is telling us no one did that yet.
[03:12] <pleia2> sure
[03:12] <nhaines> (We can schedule without it, but it makes things easier for SCALE.  Thanks, no rush.)
[03:12] <nhaines> Probably Tuesday or Wednesday, it'll be up.
[03:13] <nhaines> Okay, that's about it, I think.  Next meeting is February 25th, last one before SCALE!  No meeting during SCALE, so we'll have a month gap.  But come to SCALE and meet us there and have a real-life meeting!
[03:13] <nhaines> #endmeeting
[03:13] <darthrobot> Meeting ended Mon Feb 12 03:13:40 2018 UTC.
[03:13] <darthrobot> Minutes:        http://ihas.5cat.com/~darthrobot/ubuntu-us-ca/2018/ubuntu-us-ca.2018-02-12-03.00.moin.txt
[03:13] <nhaines> pleia2: are you watching Star Trek Discovery?
[03:14] <nhaines> Because I know nerdy things about it.
[03:14] <pleia2> nhaines: no :\
[03:15] <nhaines> When they do the "previously on" little 30 second recaps at the beginning of the episodes (because the show's serialized), they give a character the "Previously on Star Trek: Discovery" voiceover.
[03:15] <pleia2> no UbuCon "Topic" to select http://princessleia.com/temp/Screenshot_2018-02-11_19-14-32.png
[03:15] <darthrobot> Content type: [image/png] Size: [97216]
[03:16] <nhaines> In one of the episodes, a regular Klingon character says it in Klingon, with a subtitle.  "Huvleng DISqovery luQay vorgh."
[03:17] <nhaines> The Klingons have great (Klingon) accents when speaking English and don't anglicize any Klingon names.  The Federation characters tend not to, either.  It's been a great effect.
[03:17] <nhaines> Anyway, I highly recommend it and also will now go watch the last episode which streamed today.
[03:18] <pleia2> should I just submit the talk with no Topic?
[03:19] <pleia2> yeah, we'll get to it, just been traveling and busy and move so much, didn't want to CBS All Access subscribe until we could actually watch something ;)
[03:19] <pleia2> anyway, enjoy :)
[03:20] <nhaines> If you have Amazon Prime, consider subscribing via Amazon Channels.  One of Amazon and CBS has years of streaming experience, and the other doesn't. :)
[03:20] <nhaines> Go ahead and submit with no topic.  I'll fix it in post.
[03:20] <pleia2> yeah, we did that for the HBO thing
[03:21] <nhaines> It's a good show, though.  You don't really see what they're up to at first, but it's more than just production values.  Attention to detail is through the roof and all the details matter.  :)
[03:21] <pleia2> nice
[04:23] <lynorian> doh totlaly lost track of time
[06:46] <nhaines> lynorian: next time!  :)
[06:47] <nhaines> But yes, the amount of Google alarms I have set is... probably just right.
