[03:09] <krux0> show me the output of: mount
[03:09] <j1tters> yes can read fine from ntfs. did a chmod 755 on /media/USBDrive which is the mounted usb drive
[03:09] <OverLord> yes
[03:09] <j1tters> still cant copy. permission error on the usb drive
[03:09] <OverLord> I got xmms runing now
[03:10] <j1tters> ls
[03:10] <Jordan_U_> OverLord, Do you have your drive mounted rw (read and write) ?
[03:10] <OverLord> yes
[03:10] <klobster> j1tters : is the drive formated as ext3?
[03:10] <OverLord> I can create folders and stuf...
[03:10] <Jordan_U_> OverLord, Are you using ntfs-3g or something else ?
[03:10] <j1tters> klobster yep
[03:10] <OverLord> this is just when I save from firefox
[03:10] <MrUnleaded> linuxDAN_, try: http://people.kernelcode.com/cwarner/2007/05/16/64-bit-flash-for-firefox-using-swfdec/
[03:10] <krux0> jitters, umount /dev/sda1 (or w/e your usbdrive device is)
[03:10] <kratos12512> Could someone please answer me a quick question?
[03:11] <OverLord> I got the ntfs driver from automatix
[03:11] <j1tters> hm seems to be working.
[03:11] <kratos12512> Is there anyway to get x-fi fatal1ty xtremegamer pro to work in ubuntu?
[03:11] <linuxDAN_> MrUnleaded: thanks
[03:11] <radioaktivstorm> hi, I used automatix to install clamtk...but it has no definitions. pointers?
[03:11] <MrUnleaded> Anyone have any opinion on a free VMware type app?
[03:11] <j1tters> thanks :)
[03:11] <Jordan_U_> !automatix | radioaktivstorm
[03:11] <krux0> jitters, then mount -t vfat -o rw,users,user,umask=002 /dev/sda1 /media/usbdrive
[03:12] <ed1t> is there any m4a to mp3 converter for linux?
[03:12] <j1tters> its copying.
[03:12] <karlpinc> MrUnleaded : There's Xen, but I'm not sure if ubuntu releases a Xen aware kernel.  There's another (I forget) that requires hardware support.
[03:12] <ed1t> or a m4a code plugin
[03:12] <Jordan_U_> radioaktivstorm, We recommend not using Automatix as it is known to break things in ways that are hard to fix
[03:12] <krux0> jitters, how did you get it to work?
[03:12] <Jordan_U_> karlpinc, KVM ?
[03:12] <RAOF> MrUnleaded, karlpinc: Feisty has xen-enabled kernels, and "kvm" (which you need hardware support for)
[03:13] <MrUnleaded> whats better kvm or zen?
[03:13] <OverLord> at the moment Azureus is downloading the torrent on the ntfs drive. It's fine. But cannot save tor. file from Firefox...
[03:13] <Jordan_U_> ed1t, mencoder
[03:13] <MrUnleaded> i mean xen
[03:13] <radioaktivstorm> Jordan_U_ thanks, i guess ill stop using it
[03:13] <Striking7> pmayer: back
[03:13] <karlpinc> MrUnleaded : The jury's still out.  I like the idea of not having to have hardware support, so I can use any old hardware.
[03:13] <MrUnleaded> thanks
[03:14] <Striking7> pmayer: but the bad news is I have to go.  Turned out to be a bigger mess than expected and we'll barely get it cleaned up before we have to lave.
[03:14] <Striking7> *leave
[03:14] <generic_noob01> Is there a way for me to get sound blaster x.fi fatal1ty xtremegamer profess1onal to work with ubuntu?
[03:14] <karlpinc> MrUnleaded : VMWare also has a free version for Linux, but then you're playing your own system integrator because you're not getting all your packages from Ubuntu.
[03:14] <Striking7> pmayer:  search for "wine" and "howto" on www.ubuntuforums.org, you may find more useful info than you expect.
[03:15] <Jordan_U_> MrUnleaded, You can get the free vmware-server from the Official Ubuntu-commercial repository
[03:15] <mattva01> hmm does anyone know how to get freeNX to work on feisty
[03:15] <MrUnleaded> very good
[03:15] <diabolix> anyone here use google calander?
[03:15] <MrUnleaded> i think i may just go with vmware then. Thank you both
[03:16] <generic_noob01> I'm thinking about changing from xp to ubuntu and i would like to know if there's a way to get my sound card to work
[03:16] <Jordan_U_> mattva01, I have had nothing but problems with FreeNX on any distro
[03:16] <ed1t> Jordan_U_, how do i use mencoder?
[03:16] <generic_noob01> I read that there's no official support for it
[03:16] <karlpinc> MrUnleaded : Personally, I share away from the non-free repositories because support may only be for certain releases and so forth.

[03:17] <PanzerMKZ> I am trying to use the ftp command line client. I want to restart a file but it keeps talking to me about offset
[03:17] <diabolix> restart a file?
[03:17] <klobster> !lag ubotu
[03:17] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about lag ubotu - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:17] <diabolix> oh...
[03:17] <Jordan_U_> generic_noob01, And their commercial support is not just some guy with a script and a telephone, it's enterprise grade
[03:17] <PanzerMKZ> yea command is restart offset put (file)
[03:17] <pmayer> striking: you back on?
[03:18] <PanzerMKZ> but I don't know what the offset is
[03:18] <PanzerMKZ> or how to find it
[03:18] <karlpinc> PanzerMKZ : I generally use "wget -c" to continue a download.  YMMV.
[03:18] <PanzerMKZ> I have tried the file ser
[03:18] <diabolix> PanzerMKZ, how far in to the file you want to start
[03:18] <OverLord> hey Jordan ?
[03:18] <PanzerMKZ> ok so I want to put a file not get one
[03:18] <diabolix> PanzerMKZ, in bytes
[03:18] <PanzerMKZ> well that I don't know I can see the file size on the remote machine
[03:18] <karlpinc> PanzerMKZ : Use the "ls -l" command on the partially downloaded file to find out how big it is and start there.
[03:18] <diabolix> PanzerMKZ, ls
[03:18] <mattva01> Jordan_U_ :  generic_noob01 meant for his sound card I think  :)
[03:19] <diabolix> PanzerMKZ, or dir
[03:19] <OverLord> my fstab looks like this....
[03:19] <OverLord> /dev/hda5 /media/win-d ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 2
[03:19] <OverLord> is it fine ?
[03:19] <generic_noob01> I assume that there's not a way to get my sound blaster x-fi fatal1ty xtremegamer profess1onal to work with ubuntu then.
[03:19] <WindowLess> diabolix: thanks
[03:19] <pmayer> can anybody tell me real quick how to run a program in wine or just point me to an online tutorial for it?
[03:19] <PanzerMKZ> well I did that
[03:19] <Jordan_U_> mattva01, Oh, I feel like an idiot now :)
[03:19] <karlpinc> diabolix : (dir is lame, imo.)
[03:19] <PanzerMKZ> and tried the byte before and the one after
[03:19] <PanzerMKZ> and the one that it was on
[03:19] <WindowLess> is there a way to get information on all the USB ports on my computer (back side and front side), to see their status and to know whether there's something wrong with them?
[03:19] <krux0> wine program.exe
[03:19] <diabolix> WindowLess, lsusb
[03:19] <OverLord> hey Jordan?
[03:20] <cabldevil> pmayer:  try google or Ubuntu forums
[03:20] <Jordan_U_> generic_noob01, Sorry, completely missed your earlier posts and misunderstood your question :)
[03:20] <WindowLess> diabolix: thanks once again
[03:20] <WindowLess> how many ls- commands are there diabolix?
[03:20] <Jordan_U_> WindowLess, lspci , sort of does that
[03:20] <OverLord> hey Jordan?
[03:20] <Jordan_U_> WindowLess, *lsusb
[03:21] <karlpinc> WindowLess : type "ls" then hit the tab key twice.
[03:21] <diabolix> WindowLess, dunno, off the top of my head: ls lspci lsusb lsof lshw lspcmcia lsmod
[03:21] <PanzerMKZ> nice
[03:21] <diabolix> those are the useful ones.
[03:21] <PanzerMKZ> thanks folks
[03:21] <OverLord> my fstab looks like this.../dev/hda5 /media/win-d ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0
[03:21] <PanzerMKZ> ok I issue the restart
[03:21] <OverLord> is it ok for rw ?
[03:21] <WindowLess> Jordan_U_: karlpinc diabolix TY
[03:21] <PanzerMKZ> I have to issues the restart and then the byte size
[03:22] <PanzerMKZ> then enter
[03:22] <PanzerMKZ> and then my put
[03:22] <ryanakca> How do you keep someone confined to their home directory? I'm having someone ssh'ing in for irssi, but I don't want them to access the rest of my system...
[03:22] <WindowLess> i did lsusb and it showed only 3 lines. But I have more than 3 USB ports on my computer. what's wrong?
[03:22] <cabldevil> WindowLess:  check bios
[03:22] <WindowLess> cablhow do i check bios?
[03:22] <diabolix> WindowLess, it depends on your controller, i would bet that you don't have more than 3 devices plugged in.
[03:23] <cabldevil> WindowLess:  do you have 9?
[03:23] <karlpinc> ryanakca : Mostly, you don't worry about it.  They should not have permissions to see or change anything they shouldn't.  (Make another user for yourself and try it.)
[03:23] <diabolix> WindowLess, some controllers don't acknowledge extra ports till they are in use.
[03:23] <WindowLess> diabolix: well, some USB ports are currently not being used, yes
[03:23] <WindowLess> cabldevil: let me check
[03:23] <Jordan_U_> ryanakca, Just create an unprivileged user
[03:23] <karlpinc> ryanakca : If you really are worried about it google for "jail" and you'll find lot's of choices.
[03:23] <cabldevil> WindowLess:  as stated before tell us how many are in use
[03:24] <WindowLess> cabldevil: yes, you are right in guessing that I have 9 USB ports. How did you guess?
[03:24] <cabldevil> WindowLess:   It sees the root controller and not the siblings
[03:24] <WindowLess> cabldevil: i currently have one USB port in use: iPod is pluggen in
[03:24] <WindowLess> plugged
[03:24] <OverLord> Jordan .......this is my fstab..../dev/hda5 /media/win-d ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 2       is it ok for rw
[03:24] <cabldevil> WindowLess:  but I bet your only using 3 usb devices
[03:24] <fabiano> #ubuntu-br
[03:25] <cabldevil> WindowLess:  hmmm  ok what chipset
[03:25] <ceeg> if i SSH to a server, and start a program like ./dothis &, how do i make sure it KEEPS RUNNING when i close the terminal i started ssh in?
[03:25] <rollerskatejamms> Can somebody explain to me what a regression is?
[03:25] <diabolix> question to anyone with thoughts: if you could have a calender reminder applet that you click on and it tells you what you have to do that day, would you rather it be a system tray applet or a gnome panel applet? and why?
[03:25] <rollerskatejamms> in terms of bugs and updates and all that
[03:25] <Jordan_U> ceeg, use screen
[03:25] <karlpinc> ceeg:  The lame way is to use the "nohup" command.  The slick way is to use the "screen" command.
[03:25] <Rio> i have a netgear wpn311 rangemax wireless card and i was wondering how i could get it to work.  anyone know?
[03:26] <diabolix> rollerskatejamms, the new code broke something, so they just go back to the old code instead of fixing it.
[03:26] <Jordan_U> rollerskatejamms, It is when something gets worse in a newer version
[03:26] <rollerskatejamms> ok
[03:26] <Mysticcal> sigh, when installing GNOME i chose too large a resolution for my video card, any way to change that?
[03:26] <WindowLess> cabldevil: I'm using only one USB port (for iPod) but lsusb shows 3 lines. PLease see http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22251/
[03:26] <diabolix> system->prefs->res?
[03:26] <Jordan_U> rollerskatejamms, And they don't always go back to old versions
[03:26] <WindowLess> cabldevil: how do i know what chipset i have?
[03:26] <rollerskatejamms> Jordan_U, sometimes they patch it?
[03:26] <OverLord> very busy group :-)
[03:26] <Mysticcal> diablo, I only have promt
[03:27] <Mysticcal> prompt
[03:27] <cabldevil> WindowLess:   your mouse and keyboard are not usb?
[03:27] <Mysticcal> I don't have GUI because my card can't handle it
[03:27] <karlpinc> Mysticcal : Well, there's a config file in /etc/ for xorg, but I'm not really up on it.  It has a setting in it for the default resolution, as well as all choices available.  You _could_ edit it, but make a backup first.
[03:27] <Jordan_U> rollerskatejamms, Yes, and sometimes ( not often depending how bad, but often with wine ) they just don't fix it at all
[03:27] <WindowLess> cabldevil: no. mouse and keyboard are circular thingies
[03:28] <diabolix> Mysticcal, edit /etc/X11/xorgcong, and delete all the sections that are resolutions higher than what you can do (search for 1024x768)
[03:28] <rollerskatejamms> Jordan_U, heh
[03:28] <Savage-{> anybody know how to fix that Flash bug that causes menus to popup behind the flash clips?
[03:28] <cabldevil> k
[03:28] <OverLord> can someone tell me of my fstab is set up fine to rw to a ntfs drive ?
[03:28] <OverLord> /dev/hda5 /media/win-d ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 2
[03:28] <diabolix> Mysticcal, if you are new to linux, try nano as an editor.
[03:28] <Savage-{> OverLord: don't ask to ask
[03:28] <xand_> is there a linux application that can rip audio from dvds such as virtual dub in windows?
[03:28] <asdf> can someone please tell me how to call the theme preferences from the terminal?
[03:28] <cabldevil> WindowLess:  I have to run to eat but It looks like in your bios all the USBs are not turned on  check them and let me know il be back in 20
[03:28] <RAOF> asdf: gnome-theme-manager
[03:28] <ceeg> karlpinc, screen -s dothis?
[03:28] <Jordan_U> diabolix, It might be even easier or him to use: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:29] <Savage-{> OverLord: just letting you know because people won't answer
[03:29] <RAOF> asdf: Or, gnome-<tab><tab> to see all the gnome-* stuff :)
[03:29] <diabolix> Jordan_U, oh... i'm new to debian, old to linux.
[03:29] <asdf> raof: thanks a bunch
[03:29] <wastrel> it's easier to edit the file than go through the wizard
[03:29] <karlpinc> ceeg:  I usually just type "screen".  Then do whatever.  Then something crashes and I have to figure out how to reconnect -- I think "screen -r".  I'm not a screen wiz.
[03:29] <OverLord> well it's a short question....I'm not trying to bug anybody
[03:29] <Rio> anyone know how to get a wireless card running? do i need to be hardwired first?
[03:30] <Sir-Integra> hey, i just downloaded and burnt the newest version of ubuntu
[03:30] <wastrel> the wizard asks a bunch of confusing questions
[03:30] <Sir-Integra> when i click start or install unbunu
[03:30] <Sir-Integra> i get
[03:30] <WindowLess> cabldevil: how do you know that about my bios?
[03:30] <Sir-Integra> i get Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unkown-block (104,1)
[03:30] <Jordan_U> wastrel, Not when you use -phigh, it just asks for driver and resolutions
[03:30] <ryanakca> karlpinc: Jordan_U: I did that... use 'su john' to log in... and I can read all of the files in /home/ryan/ even though my home is /home/john/
[03:30] <KanRiNiN> Hi.  I'm trying to find out how to automount a usb2 hard drive since I have to restart every time I unplug it
[03:30] <KanRiNiN> it's formated with ntfs and uses the ntfs-3g driver
[03:30] <OverLord> I gues I'll heve to google more....
[03:31] <karlpinc> ryanakca : You need to do "su - john" to truely be john.
[03:31] <cabldevil> WindowLess:  reboot and hit either F1 or DEL key to get into the bios
[03:31] <ryanakca> karlpinc: ah, thanks
[03:31] <WindowLess> is there no way to see bios from within ubuntu?
[03:31] <cabldevil> check to see in peripherals  how many usbs are turned on  they may all not be turned on
[03:31] <MrUnleaded> karlpinc, do you know a good site about kvm?
[03:32] <WindowLess> is anybody using gaim here for their irc client?
[03:32] <diabolix> WindowLess, you don't need to see the bios.. chances are nothing is going to change.
[03:32] <ryanakca> karlpinc: hmm... same :S
[03:32] <Mysticcal> OMG nano is a much better then vi -.-
[03:32] <bruenig> hmmm
[03:32] <karlpinc> MrUnleaded : No I don't. Sorry.
[03:32] <diabolix> ryanakca, su john -l
[03:33] <bruenig> vim is better than both
[03:33] <goldbond> hi, is it possible to install a mac .dmg program on ubuntu? if so how?
[03:33] <diabolix> goldbond, no
[03:33] <bruenig> goldbond, no it isn't
[03:33] <mattva01> Mysticcal: Vim is far better then nano or emacs IMO
[03:33] <karlpinc> Mysticcal : (Anything is better than vi, but then I'm an emacs bigot so I figure if I admit it I won't start an argument.)
[03:33] <goldbond> thanks
[03:33] <Sir-Integra> anyone have any idea about my issue?
[03:33] <diabolix> nano!
[03:33] <bruenig> modal editors are nice
[03:33] <Jordan_U> ryanakca, either don't give read permission to everyone or, if you are more paranoid, set up a chroot jail
[03:34] <diabolix> ryanakca, did that work? su john -l?

[03:34] <diabolix> ryanakca, try 'su john -'
[03:34] <OverLord> go ahead
[03:34] <SlimG> Is there an universal command that starts the default web browser regardless of gnome/kde ?
[03:35] <Ronin[GT] > in the past, when i dual booted, i always installed linux first, and did not install LILO or GRUB, and used Windows' boot loader for dual booting.
[03:35] <karlpinc> diabolix : I always put the "-" right after the "su".
[03:35] <diabolix> karlpinc, its supposed to be last.
[03:35] <bruenig> SlimG, perhaps /etc/alternatives/x-www-browser
[03:35] <RAOF> SlimG: I *belive* that "sensible-browser" might be what you're after.
[03:35] <bruenig> SlimG, I think it is /etc/alternatives, it might be another directory
[03:35] <diabolix> karlpinc, man su
[03:35] <Ronin[GT] > i hear that with the latest GRUB, i don't have to worry about that. so i can go ahead and install windows first, and then when i install Ubuntu, GRUB will automatically recognize my windows partition and add it to the list.
[03:35] <Ronin[GT] > is that right?
[03:36] <bruenig> RAOF, sensible browser is text browser
[03:36] <ryanakca> diabolix: bash: -c: option requires an argument
[03:36] <cappicard> damn it... has anyone gotten a lexmark Z515 printer to work with 64-bit?
[03:36] <Jordan_U> Ronin[GT] , Yes
[03:36] <RAOF> bruenig: Oh, that doesn't sound very sensible :)
[03:36] <cabldevil> Ronin[GT] :  yes
[03:36] <diabolix> ryanakca, where did the c come from?
[03:36] <OverLord> if you gt windows installed first, just boot Ubuntu go to install and after installation u sholud have instelled boot loader automaticly
[03:36] <SlimG> bruenig: that works great, thanks
[03:36] <diabolix> ryanakca, 'su -l john'
[03:36] <ryanakca> diabolix: no clue
[03:36] <SlimG> RAOF: thanks, that also works!
[03:37] <Ronin[GT] > ah thanks. so i don't have to go into trouble of copying my bin file over and then adding it manually to my windows bootloader.
[03:37] <ryanakca> Jordan_U: chroot, would that apply to all users? I just want to restrict one
[03:37] <Ronin[GT] > thanks again for the help.
[03:37] <OverLord> don't worry Ronnin just go ahead and install it
[03:37] <diabolix> oh... that error is from bash... wierd

[03:37] <pussfeller> even if i put in the vga moniter thingee its blank
[03:38] <Jordan_U> ryanakca, You could even mess with him and make him think that he has root privileges if you wanted to :)

[03:38] <Baalial> I setup KDE as the environment I bootup into
[03:38] <Baalial> And now I want to uninstall it
[03:38] <mattva01> Sir-Integra : did you verify the CD integrity ?
[03:38] <diabolix> ryanakca, 'which su'?
[03:38] <Sir-Integra> yes
[03:39] <diabolix> ryanakca, it works for me...
[03:39] <Jordan_U> Baalial, sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop --auto-remove
[03:39] <ryanakca> Jordan_U: lol. So, a chroot is kindof like what pbuilder makes?
[03:39] <karlpinc> diabolix : My su man page says the - comes before the username, but that's on an old Debian.  I wouldn't expect ubuntu to be different.
[03:39] <Baalial> How do I change the default boot environment>
[03:39] <j1tters> can someone tell me if redraw is a gpu or cpu issue?
[03:39] <Baalial> oh
[03:39] <Baalial> thanks
[03:39] <diabolix> karlpinc, it is
[03:39] <`AnthraX> im  getting this error: E: The package secondlife-install needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[03:39] <WindowLess> diabolix: i would just like to know why I can't use the USB ports on the front of my computer
[03:39] <ryanakca> diabolix: /bin/su
[03:39] <`AnthraX> when i do sudo apt-get install something
[03:39] <`AnthraX> what is the problem
[03:39] <`AnthraX> :/
[03:39] <mattva01> ryanaka: a chroot is exactly what pbuilder makes :)
[03:39] <WindowLess> how do i update my iPod firmware on Ubuntu?
[03:39] <Baalial> I will reboot and see if it worked
[03:40] <diabolix> WindowLess, probably because they are usb 1.0, and the device needs 2.0
[03:40] <Sir-Integra> mattva01: i can't.. my bad. i get the same error when i try and do that.
[03:40] <ryanakca> diabolix: wierd... you in ssh? (if that makes a difference... dapper, server edition)
[03:40] <diabolix> ryanakca, yes.. it does actually.
[03:40] <Sir-Integra> it tries to load the linux kernel, then stops.
[03:40] <mattva01> Sir-Integra : try burning the CD at a lower speed then
[03:40] <Sir-Integra> mattva01: will try that now
[03:41] <SlimG> What would work on most Linux distros? x-www-browser or sensible-browser ?
[03:41] <Jordan_U> WindowLess, This might help http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Update_iPod_Firmware
[03:41] <mattva01> Sir-Integra : do you know how to do an md5sum ?
[03:41] <j1tters> arg.
[03:41] <diabolix> ryanakca, man su, and see what it says about providing a login environment.
[03:41] <ryanakca> kk
[03:41] <Baalial> Didn't seem to work
[03:41] <klone> hello
[03:41] <WindowLess> diabolix: this computer I'm using is relatively new, and I think that all USB ports are 2.0. Re: the iPod needing a 2.0 port, I don't think so. ON an older computer I synced the iPod on a 1.0 USB port
[03:41] <Baalial> Would just plain sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop work?
[03:41] <j1tters> redraw. do i have a gpu or cpu issue.; anyone?
[03:41] <pewtermoose> I'm having trouble with my Radeon 7000 card and my widescreen LCD - I can get it to do the native 1440x900 resolution with the ATI driver but not the vesa driver, but with the ATI driver, at the native resolution, it keeps going out of range randomly (it switching tabs in firefox)
[03:41] <WindowLess> Jordan_U: thanks
[03:41] <Clubfoot> i installed but it dosent boot
[03:41] <pewtermoose> I've tried about a hundred threads on the forums and nothing's worked
[03:42] <diabolix> WildZeck, no clu...
[03:42] <Sir-Integra> mattva01: what speed would you reccomend?
[03:42] <Baalial> I would fee a lot safer if i knew how to switch the boot environment
[03:42] <darwin81> What is a good and user-friendly minimal desktop-environment?
[03:42] <WindowLess> i can't click on links in gaim. help
[03:42] <gilbert> oli
[03:42] <Sir-Integra> I burnt at 48x, trying 24x now.
[03:42] <Rio> how do i get my wireless card to work if i dont have a card that doesnt have a broadcom chipset?
[03:42] <gilbert> whot is your name???
[03:42] <Savage-{> darwin81: Gnaome
[03:42] <Savage-{> darwin81: gnome
[03:42] <mattva01> Sir-Integra : slower then that , try 8x
[03:42] <gilbert> and your lastname???
[03:42] <diabolix> Sir-Integra, it could be a bad download to.
[03:42] <aroo> Does anyone know why someone on my friends list can't read my Canna characters that I input with SCIM, but he can receive them from others?
[03:43] <Savage-{> darwin81: Enlightenment also
[03:43] <wastrel> pewtermoose:  does the radeon driver work?
[03:43] <Clubfoot> i installed 7.04 and it olny work on cd not on hdd
[03:43] <Savage-{> darwin81: that is lighter
[03:43] <gilbert> whot is your sex???
[03:43] <darwin81> Savage-(: I mean a minimal one for like old computers
[03:43] <Sir-Integra> takes me 2-3 hours to download, i don't fancy downloading it all again :(
[03:43] <mattva01> Sir-Integra ,yeah you should do an md5sum on it
[03:43] <Darksyns> i want to send video from my computer to my television... what software do i need?
[03:43] <diabolix> darwin81, xfce?
[03:43] <cas3> does ubuntu have a packetfence package yet?
[03:43] <Savage-{> darwin81: Enlightenment would work fine and xfce
[03:44] <Sir-Integra> mattva01: i run windows on my main machine, my laptop is the one i'm attempting to run linux on.
[03:44] <pewtermoose> wastrel: not sure - do I have to do anything special to get the radeon driver other than choosing "ati" when configging xserver (I don't remember seeing an option in the list for radeon..)?
[03:44] <wastedfluid> Anyone use gtk-gnutella and can help with a compile issue..?
[03:44] <darwin81> What is the best way to get Enlightenment?
[03:44] <Clubfoot> i need some help installing Ubuntu on HDD
[03:44] <user3431> kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(104,1)
[03:45] <diabolix> darwin81, enlightenment is a bit more intense than xfce.
[03:45] <Jordan_U> wastedfluid, Why compile it from source?
[03:45] <wastrel> pewtermoose:  there should be a "radeon" driver as well as the "ati" driver.
[03:45] <diabolix> darwin81, and a bit less user friendly, imho.
[03:45] <darwin81> What about IceWM?
[03:45] <Savage-{> darwin81: http://www.enlightenment.org/
[03:45] <wastedfluid> Jordan_U: Well, I can't seem to find the 0.96 package.. and Synaptics Package Manager has the old edition that won't connect to the network.
[03:45] <diabolix> darwin81, icewm requires you to edit a text file to edit the menu.
[03:45] <wastrel> darwin81:  icewm is a windowmanager only not a "desktop environment"
[03:45] <Rio> Clubfoot: just pop the cd in and go... otherwise, youll have to be more specific
[03:45] <ubuntubeginz> Clubfoot: use something to partition ur disk...like Acronis...with ext3 partition...
[03:46] <Savage-{> how old is the PC?
[03:46] <Savage-{> that has everything to do with this question
[03:46] <wastedfluid> I can't find a package to install it 64bit wise.. The only "packages" for the 64bit are older and won't connect
[03:46] <nomasteryoda|w> Clubfoot, there is a free live CD of gparted
[03:46] <nomasteryoda|w> works very well
[03:46] <ubuntubeginz> Clubfoot: if u r dual booting dat is,,,,, else if a new machine...just follow Rio' suggestion//
[03:46] <Clubfoot> partition in what format^
[03:46] <pewtermoose> wastrel: I don't have a radeon option when running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:47] <Crankymonky> Was disks-admin removed in Feisty?  From both the default install and the repos?
[03:47] <pewtermoose> wastrel: (running feisty)
[03:47] <Clubfoot> i will go for a dual boot
[03:47] <Clubfoot> i have xp
[03:47] <MadProgrammer> hi?

[03:47] <polto> can sb help me? I'm doing a customized version of kubuntu LiveDVD. things are going well but i have a little question. How can i show partitions and not mounted disks on the KDE desktop ?
[03:48] <Clubfoot> more than one partition
[03:48] <diabolix> cat /proc/partitions
[03:48] <darwin81> Would Enlightenment run quickly on a Pentium III with 256 MB of ram?
[03:48] <Sandra> Hello
[03:48] <Darksyns> i want to send video from my computer to my television... what software do i need?
[03:48] <Clubfoot> 60 g x 5
[03:48] <Sandra> Could anyone help me?
[03:48] <Jordan_U> polto, #kubuntu for KDE
[03:48] <Sandra> I have tons of problems I am totally new
[03:48] <endra> Hello
[03:48] <linuxmasta> When I try to run quake4 it says "error while loading shared libraries: libX11.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory." But /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 exists as a symlink to libX11.so.6.2.0. What's the problem and/or where else is it looking?
[03:48] <endra> Does ubuntu use aptitude?
[03:49] <Sandra> Hello endra
[03:49] <diabolix> darwin81, rasterman (the guy who writes enlightenment) develops it on a p3 with 512 ram.. so probably.
[03:49] <dawn_chorus> Sandra, let's start with the simplest one first.  :()
[03:49] <Sandra> ok
[03:49] <Jordan_U> endra, Yes ( and apt-get /dpkg )
[03:49] <Sandra> the graphics driver does not run
[03:49] <Rio> Clubfoot i have two harddrive, but i installed xp and ubuntu on a single harddrive and used the 2nd harddrive for backup. if thats what you want to do, i would install xp first, then install ubuntu and edit the partition manually
[03:49] <Sandra> Nvidia Gforce fore mx
[03:49] <Sandra> four
[03:49] <xand_> is there a linux application that can rip audio from dvds such as virtual dub in windows?
[03:49] <polto> Jordan_U, on #kubuntu whey do not know. :) and it's same on ubuntu. i just need to automount them  all.
[03:49] <Rio> anyone know how to get their wireless card running?
[03:49] <linuxmasta> xand_, mencoder
[03:50] <dawn_chorus> Sandra, you're not using nv are you?
[03:50] <linuxmasta> or maybe even mplayer itself
[03:50] <Clubfoot> well i installed it before without xp and ERROR LOADING OS
[03:50] <MadProgrammer> Anyone know about viewing connections with nautlaus over ssh?
[03:50] <Baalial> How do I set my computer to boot automatically onto Gnome when I already have a KDE environment set up to boot??
[03:50] <Darksyns> does anyone know how to get my desktop to show on my television,,.. it does it during boot up, but it stops at the login screen
[03:50] <diabolix> linuxmasta, try "env LD_PRELOAD= /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 quake4"
[03:50] <xand_> linuxmasta: really? i'll take a look, thanks
[03:51] <dawn_chorus> Baalial, just change your session at login.  There'll be a dialog asking you if you want ot make GNOME the default.
[03:51] <pewtermoose> Maybe I should just dust off an old CRT instead of fighting with this retarded resolution
[03:51] <scorpyo> que onda
[03:51] <yanger> hi, trying to automount external usb hdds but not working, i tried to access the System -> Preferences -> Removable Drives and Media, but i get the error message: Volume management not supported ... but i see hald in ps
[03:51] <Jordan_U> polto, So you want to automount every partition available?
[03:51] <linuxmasta> diabolix, does that only work as root? I'd rather run as my user
[03:51] <Sandra> I use Xchat
[03:51] <Baalial> I see no dialog box when I login to GNOME
[03:51] <Rio> Clubfoot ahh... sometimes i have had trouble loading ubuntu because of some kind of error. so, i ended up downloading the image from another place other than a US site ie europe
[03:51] <Sandra> shall I log on again?
[03:51] <Baalial> I only see the box that asks me to enable internet access
[03:51] <diabolix> linuxmasta, no.. it should work as user.
[03:51] <endra> Thank you.
[03:51] <scorpyo> alguien tiene ya la de piratas del caribe 3
[03:51] <Sandra> I went to a room with you
[03:51] <Jordan_U> yanger, Is it formatted NTFS?
[03:51] <Sandra> chatroom
[03:51] <Clubfoot> got it from torrent file
[03:51] <dawn_chorus> Baalial, that's because you haven't changed your session.  :)
[03:51] <linuxmasta> diabolix, hmm got Permission denied
[03:52] <scorpyo> nadie habla espaol
[03:52] <Xbehave> do /tmp and /var get preserverd across a boot?
[03:52] <Baalial> ??
[03:52] <yanger> Jordan_U, nah, 2 of my drives were jfs, and the other was fat
[03:52] <Rio> Clubfoot torrents? ummm...id get it off the ubuntu website
[03:52] <Baalial> So what session do I change it to..? :'(
[03:52] <Clubfoot> works well on live cd
[03:52] <Sandra> here I see channel #ubuntu on the left side and dawn_chorus
[03:52] <Rio> ohhh
[03:52] <scorpyo> no mamen
[03:52] <Rio> Clubfoot yeah..same thing happeed to me
[03:52] <Darksyns> does anyone know how to get my desktop to show on my television,,.. it does it during boot up, but it stops at the login screen
[03:52] <Rio> Clubfoot live cd works but install fails
[03:52] <linuxmasta> Darksyns, nvidia card?
[03:52] <Sandra> dawn are you there?
[03:52] <user3431> kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(104,1)
[03:52] <Darksyns> yes
[03:52] <Darksyns> its a lame one
[03:53] <polto> Jordan_U, i think it the way to do what i want.  i have my modified DVD, it boot, work etc... but: my goal now is to show computer's windows and linux partitions on the desktop to give the user the possibility to mount (or open if already mounted) it by a simple click.
[03:53] <Sandra> plse just tell me which one i should use...
[03:53] <linuxmasta> Darksyns, install the drivers and use twinview
[03:53] <dawn_chorus> Sandra, yeah.  what's up?
[03:53] <user3431> anyone know why it won't install?
[03:53] <Darksyns> geforce fx 5200
[03:53] <diabolix> linuxmasta, run 'sudo chmod +r  /usr/lib/libX11.so.6', and try running it normally.
[03:53] <Rio> =Clubfoot download again from another site and verify your image when you have burned it to a disk...if you are using nero
[03:53] <Sandra> can we go to a "private channel I typed there
[03:53] <Sandra> it confuses me here
[03:53] <Sandra> Please
[03:53] <Sandra> I typed there
[03:53] <Darksyns> is it in synaptic?
[03:53] <Sandra> did you get it
[03:53] <Darksyns> twinview?
[03:53] <Sandra> I doubleclicked your name
[03:53] <mwshead> Has anyone had any luck getting Ubuntu running on a Shuttle motherboard?  I'm having trouble getting the Realteck 8201 ethernet card to show up.  any suggestions?
[03:53] <linuxmasta> diabolix, permission denied again on the LD_PRELOAD
[03:53] <Clubfoot> what OS do you recomemnd
[03:54] <Jordan_U> polto, For one, you should have ntfs-config installed by default then
[03:54] <Baalial> I will try out what you say Dawn
[03:54] <Baalial> I will be right back
[03:54] <Rio> Clubfoot uhhh... what do you mean?  depends what you want.  personally, i have xp installed with ubuntu 7.04 desktop
[03:54] <linuxmasta> Darksyns, it's part of the official drivers
[03:54] <diabolix> linuxmasta, weird... what does ls -l  /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 say?
[03:55] <Darksyns> hrm i have the drivers installed
[03:55] <darwin81> How can I completely erase a hard drive?
[03:55] <fabian__> hi+
[03:55] <linuxmasta> Darksyns, http://www.schotty.com/wordpress/?page_id=7
[03:55] <dawn_chorus> Sandra, type /j #Sandra
[03:55] <linuxmasta> Darksyns, take a gander; that'll at least give you an idea
[03:56] <Savage-{> darwin81: mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1
[03:56] <Clubfoot> i dont want XP no more i just want Linux i Formated installed everything worked well but on restart didnt bot
[03:56] <linuxmasta> diabolix, it's a symbolic link, but I'll give you the output
[03:56] <Rio> darwin81 is it a second harddrive?if so, you should install gparted
[03:56] <Savage-{> darwin81: needs to be unmounted
[03:56] <linuxmasta> diabolix, lrwxrwxrwx
[03:56] <diabolix> linuxmasta, run 'sudo chmod +r /usr/lib/libX11.so.6.2.0', and try again
[03:56] <Rio> Clubfoot then i dont know... ubuntu 7.04 works fine for me
[03:57] <Rio> Clubfoot is that what you were running?
[03:57] <mwshead> I'm having trouble getting the Realteck 8201 ethernet card to show up.  Any suggestions?
[03:57] <diabolix> actually.. this shouldn't even be an issue.. if you can run programs, libx11 should be fine...
[03:57] <Baalial> Dawn_Chorus, I found out that Gnome is the default login
[03:57] <Sandra> dawn I did
[03:57] <linuxmasta> diabolix, currently that file is -rw-r--r--
[03:57] <Savage-{> get a different network card :)
[03:57] <diabolix> hmm..
[03:57] <diabolix> weird..
[03:57] <Baalial> But, when I turn on my copmuter, then it loads up Kubuntu
[03:57] <Darksyns> that page doesnt say what to edit? xorg?
[03:57] <linuxmasta> diabolix, I thought maybe quake4 was looking elsewhere for the file, but that location is pretty standard
[03:57] <Baalial> I hope to get it to load up in Gnome, so I can remove Kubuntu safely
[03:57] <darwin81> If you delete with GParted it's still possible to recover partitions
[03:57] <Clubfoot> yes 7.04
[03:57] <linuxmasta> diabolix, could be a problem with 64bit-32bit?
[03:57] <mwshead> Savage--I may, but it is on the mother board and it is very limited on the number of PCI slots.  I'll have to get another mother board if I can't get it to work.
[03:58] <polto> Jordan_U, ok, i'll install ntfs-config, but how to make it automounted and also the same for linux partition ?
[03:58] <dawn_chorus> Baalial, yes.  'sudo aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop'
[03:58] <linuxmasta> diabolix, this is a buddy's box; I'm trying to help him out
[03:58] <Jordan_U> Baalial, Just switch the default session to gnome from gdm
[03:58] <wastedfluid> Anyone recommend a decent gnutella client w/ a GUI?  I can' get GTK-Gnutella to work.
[03:58] <fabiosarts> generally boot disks have an /linux package file with /bin/bash, kernel and other files, how to get it?
[03:58] <hendrixski> crap, I can't get Evolution to decrypt my gpg key from launchpad
[03:58] <diabolix> linuxmasta, ubuntu64?
[03:58] <Rio> Clubfoot well if it WAS workig fine, and reboot failed... then i have no idea. maybe someone else can help
[03:58] <Noodlesgc> anyone here know of a good dvd ripper for Linux?
[03:59] <linuxmasta> diabolix, I believe just ubuntu
[03:59] <Savage-{> mwshead: do lsmod in the console and type it like this and tell me if you find e100 or e1000 - lsmod |grep e100
[03:59] <Clubfoot> thanks Rio
[03:59] <Rio> anyone know how to get their network card working?  i dont think it has a broadcom chipset
[03:59] <Rio> np Clubfoot
[03:59] <MadProgrammer> ndiswrapper?
[03:59] <ed1t> how do i get quicktime ?
[03:59] <Rio> are you talking to me MadProgrammer?
[03:59] <diabolix> linuxmasta, not amd64 ubuntu?
[03:59] <MadProgrammer> yes Rio

[04:00] <Savage-{> ed1t: get mplayer package
[04:00] <Rio> MadProgrammer i dont know
[04:00] <Savage-{> ed1t: with codecs

[04:00] <pewtermoose> does anyone have any idea about my Radeon 7000 issue?
[04:00] <mwshead> Savage-{, it doesn't show anything.
[04:00] <Rio> Clubfoot i dont know
[04:00] <linuxmasta> diabolix, I'm not familiar with 64bit so this is all greek
[04:00] <Jordan_U> ed1t, Just double click on a .mov file and Ubuntu should install the needed codecs automatically
[04:00] <MadProgrammer> rio Ndiswrapper lets you use windows drivers in linux
[04:00] <Rio> MadProgrammer how would i know
[04:00] <Savage-{> mwshead: ok now try lspci |grep e100
[04:00] <diabolix> linuxmasta, thats the problem.. most games are 32.. i highly recoment not using 64bit ubuntu.
[04:00] <Rio> MadProgrammer ohh. thats a program that i can install thru synaptic?
[04:01] <Noodlesgc> dvd ripping anyone??
[04:01] <MadProgrammer> rio. I think so.
[04:01] <mwshead> Savage-{, nothing there either.
[04:01] <linuxmasta> diabolix, ah I see, I had a hunch, but no experience really. Alright, bro, thanks for the info
[04:01] <MadProgrammer> Rio. I installed mine from source.
[04:01] <Savage-{> dvd::rip
[04:01] <Jordan_U> Rio, What chipset is your card?
[04:01] <Rio> MadProgrammer oh okay... damn! id have to move my pc to have it hardwired

[04:01] <Rio> Jordan_U i have no idea
[04:01] <ed1t> Jordan_U, it didnt install it
[04:02] <diabolix> ok.. code time..
[04:02] <Rio> Jordan_U its a netgear wpn311 rangemax wireless
[04:02] <Jordan_U> Rio, Check in System -> Preferences -> Hardware information
[04:02] <ajmorris_> is it possible to format an external hard disk from the CLI?
[04:02] <Savage-{> mwshead: oh i'm sorry I mean - lspci |grep ethernet
[04:02] <firefly2442> Can anyone recommend some good PHP bittorrent trackers?
[04:02] <Madsy> I can't find gtk+ or gtkglext. Is there a backport available?
[04:02] <Jordan_U> ajmorris_, Yes
[04:02] <Noodlesgc> anathematic, utorrent with Wine
[04:02] <linuxmasta> so one can install the regular 32bit ubuntu on an AMD64 without issue?
[04:02] <linuxnub> can anyone please help me get my dvd player working?
[04:03] <Jordan_U> linuxmasta, Yes
[04:03] <linuxmasta> excellent
[04:03] <linuxmasta> cheers
[04:03] <ajmorris_> Jordan_U, what is the command?
[04:03] <Rio> Jordan_U okay...i would have to go upstairs to find out. what would be the next step after i find out what i have
[04:03] <Rio> ?
[04:03] <Jordan_U> !dvd | linuxnub
[04:03] <mwshead> Savage-{, still nothing.  If I just do lspci, I see the vga controller, firewire, etc.
[04:03] <Savage-{> linuxnub: don't ask to ask; just ask it
[04:03] <linuxnub> ok i dont know how to get my dvd player to work
[04:03] <ed1t> Jordan_U, im trying to play that http://tv-links.co.uk/link.do/1/1/6/26405/41026
[04:03] <linuxnub> ive tried everything on the help pages
[04:04] <linuxnub> loaded all the codecs, etc
[04:04] <Savage-{> mwshead no signs of anything network card related huh?
[04:04] <MadProgrammer> linuxnub. mplayer will fix all video problems. It plays everything in all existance
[04:04] <Jordan_U> linuxnub, https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html#video-dvd
[04:04] <linuxnub> the problem is my system dont recognize the dvd player at all
[04:04] <Savage-{> mwshead: what distro?
[04:04] <linuxnub> its not a codec issue
[04:04] <mwshead> Savage-{, Hm.  I guess not.  I'm using 7.04 desktop
[04:04] <Savage-{> mwshead: oh hehe we are in ubuntu
[04:05] <Savage-{> mwshead: ok, hmm
[04:05] <ed1t> Savage-{, im trying to play http://tv-links.co.uk/link.do/1/1/6/26405/41026 in firefox
[04:05] <gravemind> how do I change my external IP?
[04:05] <linuxnub> yes i have done eveything on that link already
[04:05] <linuxnub> no joy
[04:05] <Savage-{> mwshead: try modprobe e100
[04:05] <wastrel> gravemind:  your isp controls that.
[04:05] <Jordan_U> ed1t, No wonder it can't play, I am getting a 404 for that video file :)
[04:06] <ubotu> linuxnub: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[04:06] <Chetwin> Hi all.  My computer seems to be locking up at random.  Any suggestions?
[04:06] <defcon> any good ways to optimize ubuntu
[04:06] <ed1t> Jordan_U, it works for me
[04:06] <yanger> how can i restart hald?
[04:06] <mwshead> Savage-{, still nothing.
[04:06] <ed1t> Jordan_U, i mean the link opens
[04:06] <linuxnub> i have libdvdcss2 already  installed
[04:06] <Killox> Hey gang, quick question for the room:  I'm using the latest version of Ubuntu (feisty) but I'm looking for a DVD backup utility to replace my Windows utilities  Any suggestions?
[04:06] <linuxnub> no dice
[04:06] <Jordan_U> ed1t, Same for me, but the video file itself is just a 404
[04:06] <Flannel> !dvd | Killox
[04:06] <ubotu> Killox: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[04:06] <Chetwin> Hi all.  My computer seems to be locking up at random.  Any suggestions?
[04:06] <Savage-{> mwshead: ok in the System -> Preferences menu there is a Hardware Information app
[04:06] <Savage-{> see if you see it in there
[04:06] <Toma-> Chetwin: are you using nvidia drivers?
[04:07] <ed1t> Jordan_U, i tried to open .mov file it didnt automatically install plugins
[04:07] <Chetwin> Toma-: Yes, but the render accel option doesn't seem to help (enabled or disabled)
[04:07] <Jordan_U> ed1t, Are you running Feisty?
[04:07] <ed1t> yes
[04:07] <linuxnub> lol ive installed every dvd codec on all those links and installed gzine and setup the multimedia tab on removable drives, etc etdf
[04:07] <linuxnub> it still dont work
[04:07] <ed1t> Jordan_U, it opened in totem
[04:07] <Jordan_U> ed1t, Do you have a link to the .mov file?
[04:07] <mwshead> Savage-{, Ok let me look through it.  I don't see anything right off.
[04:07] <Savage-{> mwshead: under the PCI Bridge
[04:07] <linuxnub> the gzine setup wizard fails for DVD
[04:08] <Chetwin> Toma- Should I be using False, false, or 0 for the value anyway?
[04:08] <ed1t> Jordan_U, i just downloaded some random .mov file to test it out
[04:08] <dburger> anyone having success with adm8211 chipset wireless card under feisty?
[04:08] <Jordan_U> ed1t, And did it play?
[04:08] <Noodlesgc> Chetwin, my computer locks when i enable nvidia drivers, so i just disabled it
[04:08] <ed1t> no it didnt play
[04:08] <linuxnub> the gzine setup wizard says a symlink needs to be created for /dev/dvd and i dont know how to do that
[04:08] <Toma-> Chetwin: try using the nv driver and see if that resolves the issue.
[04:08] <Chetwin> Noodlesgc: Then I can't play games!
[04:08] <Chetwin> I want to play games tho.
[04:08] <Toma-> Chetwin: not indefinitely, just to make certain its the nvidia driver :)
[04:08] <pewtermoose> radeon 7000, ati drivers run LCD at native resolution (1440x900) but keep flashing to black going out of range when changing between apps, tabs in firefox, etc; vesa driver won't do 1440x900 no matter what I've tried - suggestions?
[04:08] <Chetwin> It acutally ONLY happens when I'm playing music
[04:08] <Noodlesgc> yeah that is a problem, but im not really a gamer
[04:09] <gravemind> wastrel: I know that they are sometimes dynamically assigned - is there a way to get another one dynamically assigned
[04:09] <Toma-> Chetwin: well, swtick to nv and play some music for a while
[04:09] <Toma-> *switch
[04:09] <wastrel> pewtermoose:  radeon driver- you'll have to change it in xorg.conf if you don't get it in the debconf thingy
[04:09] <Xbehave> does temp get wiped on reboot? or is it persistent?
[04:09] <Chetwin> And if it still locks up?
[04:09] <mwshead> Savage-{, Ok I've got two PCI-toPCI bridge entries.  The show up like a network card.
[04:09] <Xbehave> e.g can i have a shared tmp directory?
[04:09] <Jordan_U> ed1t, You can install the windows version of quicktime through wine but I havn't found a video so far that totem or vlc can't play
[04:09] <Toma-> Chetwin: then we'll talk
[04:10] <ed1t> Jordan_U, maybe i dont have right codecs installed?
[04:10] <Savage-{> mwshead: this is what mine says "82562EZ 10/100 Ethernet Controller"
[04:10] <Chetwin> It may not happen for an hour, but it could be as quick as 15 min
[04:10] <Savage-{> mwshead that means the mod isn't loaded
[04:10] <Jordan_U> ed1t, That's the strange part, it should install the needed codecs automatically when you try to play a movie you don't have codecs for
[04:10] <wangwei>
[04:10] <Savage-{> I think, i'm not sure if it can see past the driver or now
[04:10] <mwshead> Savage-{, Hm.  What version of ubuntu are you using?
[04:11] <linuxnub> so can anyone please help me to get my dvd player working knowing that i have already done all the steps on the help pages links
[04:11] <Savage-{> mwshead: 7.04
[04:11] <lgc> Help! My  Dapper eats up memory Windows Vista-like. Is it normal?
[04:11] <wastrel> gravemind:  it depends on your isp  you could try disconnecting/reconnecting or release/renew your dhcp lease.
[04:11] <Killox> Flannel, do you have a link to !dvd?  I cant find it using google :)
[04:11] <mwshead> Savage-{, Is it a shuttle mother board or something else?
[04:11] <Toma-> Chetwin: theres alot of things that can cause lockups. hopefully its something minor. i get a few lockups here thanks to the crap-tacular nvidia drivers
[04:11] <Jordan_U> linuxnub, Does it work for Data DVD's ?
[04:11] <Chetwin> You know what MIGHT be happening...  I just thought of this.  it's cuz I leave the computer running while I'm getting ready in the morning, playing music.  It might lock up when the screen switches to screensaver mode
[04:11] <linuxnub> yes it works for data CD's only
[04:11] <nouri> lgc: Check System -> Administration -> System Monitor
[04:11] <nouri> lgc: Look at the processes and order them by memory consumption
[04:12] <linuxnub> my /etc/fstab lists it as /dev/scd0    /media/cdrom0
[04:12] <Jordan_U> linuxnub, And it works in another OS?
[04:12] <Toma-> Chetwin: quite possibly.
[04:12] <kitche> Killox: !dvd is a switch for ubotu follow the links that ubotu gives you
[04:12] <Savage-{> mwshead: mine is a Dell motherboard
[04:12] <zcutlip|laptop> anybody have suggestions for troubleshooting automounting of usb drives?  I assume the problem is related to gnome-volume-manager
[04:12] <linuxnub> yes it works flawlessly in suse, sabayon, gentoo, slackware, and pclos
[04:12] <Savage-{> mwshead: and I haven't had any issues ever with linux
[04:12] <lgc> nouri, I did that. But no big deal. The sum of the used memory by the individual processes doesn't even come close to that reported by 'top'.
[04:12] <Ashnal> Hi
[04:13] <Nwallins> I came home from work today, and my Feisty machine was off (unusual).  When I powered her on, she took a long time to boot, with a blinking cursor in the top left, and then gnome ran slow as a dog.  Program launch times were a minute or two.  Once loaded, they seemed to run fairly normally.  top and ps show nothing funky, and I checked a bunch of logs in /var/log.  cpu utilization was normal, cpu temp was normal, all my ram was showing, 40% used
[04:13] <Savage-{> mwshead: I would do a google search to find something about that motherboard and the network card in linux
[04:13] <Killox> Thanks Kitche!  You are a great help!
[04:13] <Ashnal> Im in need of some assistance from you linux gurus
[04:13] <Jordan_U> linuxnub, What happens when you try to mount it manually?
[04:13] <Chetwin> So if it fixes it with the nv driver, whats my next option
[04:13] <Savage-{> mwshead: weird most network cards work fine with me in linux
[04:13] <Jordan_U> !ask | Ashnal
[04:13] <ubotu> Ashnal: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:13] <linuxnub> it spins and spins and then stops with message "no media present"
[04:13] <mwshead> Savage-{, Ok thanks for your help.
[04:13] <Savage-{> mwshead: np
[04:13] <zcutlip|laptop> when i boot off the live cd, usb thumbdrives get mounted automagically.  however in my regular session, they do not.
[04:14] <vbabiy> hey guys is there is site with a nice walk through on how to setup Ubuntu server with a gui
[04:14] <bruenig> vbabiy, what specifically do you want?
[04:14] <lgc> nouri?
[04:15] <bruenig> vbabiy, the gui is just sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[04:15] <Savage-{> vbabiy: just learn aptitude and apt and that is all your need
[04:15] <Crankymonky> Was disks-admin removed in Feisty?  From both the default install and the repos?
[04:15] <zcutlip|laptop> ^ suggestions?
[04:15] <Killox> !dvd
[04:15] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[04:15] <Ashnal> well, my ubuntu edgy installation was pissing me off, i installed beryl a while back, and now when it starts edgy it completely freezes up, i didnt feel like fixing it and used gparted liv CD to just delete the patition. Now when the compute starts, grub gives me an error 22
[04:15] <nouri> lgc: No idea, sorry... do you see the process not in top, then?
[04:16] <Jordan_U> Ashnal, What did you expect it to do with the partition deleted?
[04:16] <zcutlip|laptop> so far, i have: created a new admin user and get the same results.  checked gnome-volume-properties, and all appropriate options are checked
[04:16] <blk-majik> I'm having install issues on a NP Netserver LP2000r. Its consistant (CDROM stops reading at the same point after CDROM detection. Tried 2 drives and cables, both interfaces). Is there a method of isntalling that doesnt require a cdrom, ie via network/internet?
[04:16] <mwshead> Savage-{, Ok I feel like an idiot.  Some how the ethernet port was turned off in the BIOS.  Thanks for your help.  I have a better idea of how to troubleshoot network card issues in the future.
[04:16] <blk-majik> s/NP/HP
[04:17] <lgc> nouri, I do see the processes in 'top', and with the system monitor. But the latter doesn't display the total memory used, as 'top' does. When I sum up I get a fourfold difference.
[04:17] <Ashnal> so i need help reinstalling grub
[04:17] <pewtermoose> wastrel: I changed "ati" to "radeon" in xorg.conf but it seems to have made it worse - is there any specific "radeon" driver I need to install (since I don't have one listed when going thru dpkg-reconfigure); the only thing that seems to come up when googling a radeon driver is fglrx but I don't think that even supports my old video card
[04:17] <Jordan_U> Ashnal, When you re-install Ubuntu it will re-install GRUB, or do you have another OS that you are trying to boot?
[04:18] <linuxnub> so is there some fstab or mtab entry i need to do to get my ubuntu system to "see" my dvd drive?
[04:18] <Savage-{> mwshead: lol
[04:18] <thekernel> hello
[04:18] <dawn_chorus> linuxnub, yes.
[04:18] <Savage-{> mwshead: it happens to the best of us sometimes :)
[04:18] <wastrel> pewtermoose:  "radeon" is the name of the driver. i don't know what other tweaks might help, sorry.
[04:18] <bruenig> linuxboy, did you try to mount it?
[04:18] <linuxnub> yes ive tried mounting it and get error messages
[04:19] <linuxnub> "no media present"
[04:19] <Ashnal> Well, i didnt want to reinstall ubuntu, i was hoping to just get rid of it and maybe go to feisty at a later date, but for now i just want to be able to boot windows XP
[04:19] <linuxnub> with dvd in it
[04:19] <lgc> Flannel, hi! Are you familiar with memory management?
[04:19] <bruenig> linuxboy, are you certain you are using the right device name
[04:19] <linuxnub> ??
[04:19] <pewtermoose> wastrel: okay, thanks though
[04:19] <thekernel> can some one tell me where can i get xchat for my ubuntu 6.10
[04:19] <linuxnub> fstab = /dev/scd0    /media/cdrom0
[04:19] <bruenig> linuxnub, put your dvd in, then wait a few seconds and do dmesg and see what it calls
[04:19] <bruenig> it
[04:20] <linuxnub> k doin taht buenig
[04:20] <artabrahao> hi, the vncviewer works fine in ubuntu, but when I type vncserver appears command not fount. What can it be?
[04:20] <Jordan_U> Ashnal, Then you should just use the XP install CD recovery mode and do "fixmbr" ( I think ) to get rid of grub all-together
[04:20] <Savage-{> Ashnal: to reinstall grub do - grub-install /dev/<yourdrive>
[04:20] <lgc> Jordan_U, you, maybe?
[04:20] <Jordan_U> Savage-{, He doesn't have an ext3 partition for his /boot/menu.list
[04:20] <Baalial> Sorry, Dawn, still having the problem
[04:20] <Baalial> I uninstalled the Kubuntu environment
[04:20] <Savage-{> Jordan_U: oh, ok
[04:21] <Ashnal> i dont have an XP recovery cd
[04:21] <Baalial> And synaptic doesn't sense Kubuntu-desktop anymore
[04:21] <Jordan_U> lgc, What about me?
[04:21] <ed1t> http://tv-links.co.uk/link.do/1/1/6/26405/41026 works in windows firefox but not ubuntu firefox
[04:21] <Ashnal> and as for savages suggestion i dont know what would replace <yourdrive>
[04:21] <Baalial> But when I boot, it loads up into the Kubuntu splash screen
[04:22] <dawn_chorus> Baalial, i guess you may have to remove kdm from the rc list.
[04:22] <Baalial> the rc list?
[04:22] <Savage-{> Ashnal: /dev/sda for SCSI drives and /dev/hda for IDE
[04:22] <lgc> Jordan_U, I've been asking around who is familiar with memory management. I remember you've helped me out some other time(s).
[04:22] <Ashnal> would it be hda1?
[04:22] <Ashnal> o just hda?
[04:22] <Savage-{> if you install to the boot record of that partition
[04:22] <Baalial> What is the rc list?
[04:22] <linuxnub> [   37.966755]  scsi 1:0:0:0: CD-ROM            SONY     CD-RW  CRX230EE  2YS8 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5
[04:22] <linuxnub> thats what dmesg says
[04:23] <Jordan_U> Ashnal, Ok, you will need to create an ext3 partition because GRUB needs one to hold it's configuration file ( /boot/grub/menu/lst ) then install GRUB ( So the easiest thing to do is to just re-install Ubuntu )
[04:23] <dawn_chorus> Baalial, it's what cool things at boot.  but it should work the way I was saying, so something may be buggy.
[04:23] <VoX> Baalial: apt-get install usplash
[04:23] <Baalial> ok
[04:23] <Savage-{> Ashnal: I usually just go to grub console so I can't remember exactly
[04:23] <Baalial> Ok
[04:24] <Baalial> It says I already have the most uptodate one
[04:24] <Baalial> So none were updated, and nothign was created
[04:24] <psYchotic> hello everyone, I could use a little help. A little while ago, I decided to compile the kernel myself, and it worked perfectly fine, except for this one thing that disturbs me: the packages created by make-kpkg are a LOT bigger than the ones in the repositories. Example, linux-image-blabla.deb is 193MB...
[04:24] <VoX> Baalial: apt-get remove ksplash
[04:24] <Savage-{> Ashnal: yeah reinstall ubuntu
[04:24] <Baalial> ok
[04:24] <Ashnal> so is there a way to get rid of grub without a win xp cd?
[04:24] <Savage-{> Ashnal: format it too
[04:25] <Nwallins> I came home from work today, and my Feisty desktop machine was off.  When I powered her on, she took a long time to boot, with a blinking cursor in the top left for more than 30 seconds, and then gnome ran slow as a dog.  Program launch times were a minute or two.  Once loaded, they seemed to run fairly normally.  top and ps show nothing funky, and I checked a bunch of logs in /var/log.  cpu utilization was normal, cpu temp was normal, all my ra
[04:25] <Baalial> Removing...
[04:25] <Jordan_U> Ashnal, No easy way
[04:25] <Baalial> Done
[04:25] <Baalial> What should I do now Dawn?
[04:25] <VoX> Baalial: then apt-get install --reinstall usplash
[04:25] <Ashnal> well, can you at least point me in the right direction?
[04:25] <Savage-{> google :)
[04:26] <Baalial> reinstalling...
[04:26] <Savage-{> Google is the God of all knowing :)
[04:26] <Ashnal> ah yes, google is mans new best friend
[04:26] <Baalial> Completed
[04:26] <VoX> Baalial: now reboot and you should see the correct splash screen
[04:26] <agentnewb> hey any firefox users here that use user agent switcher plugin?
[04:26] <Baalial> Is that all that needs to be done Dawn?
[04:26] <Baalial> Ok
[04:26] <artabrahao> hi, the vncviewer works fine in ubuntu, but when I type vncserver appears command not fount. What can it be?
[04:27] <scoobydoo28139> crimsun: did you find the error on the sound card?
[04:27] <Jordan_U> artabrahao, Do you have vncserver installed?
[04:28] <scoobydoo28139> any one know how to install ut2004 in ubuntu?
[04:28] <lethu> scoobydoo28139, use the .run installer?
[04:29] <psYchotic> scoobydoo28139: do something like 'sh whateverthefilenameis.run'
[04:29] <scoobydoo28139> lethu: ok i will try, while i am doing that ,,,do you know of any good progy's for a tv card?
[04:29] <psYchotic> maybe you need to use sudo too, depending on where you're installing it to
 I have installed x11 and others, when I type vncviewer it works, so I think vnc is installed
[04:30] <Jordan_U> artabrahao, Do you have the package vncserver installed?
[04:30] <payan> is there a way to automagically convert a MS SQL database to mySQL?
[04:30] <lethu> scoobydoo28139, maybe Mythtv, not sure tough
[04:30] <scoobydoo28139> ok thanks psychotic
[04:30] <payan> including sprocs
[04:30] <scoobydoo28139> lethu: ok i will check that out also tks:)

[04:31] <scoobydoo28139> :)
 I have installed all vnc packages via synaptic
[04:31] <scoobydoo28139> ubuntu has been defanit learning experience
[04:31] <Mysticcal> Anyone know how to install Ventrilo server?
[04:32] <SurfnKid> guys i have a weird memory swap problem
[04:32] <SurfnKid> anyone into swap memory?
[04:33] <nelsonuwp> !widgert
[04:33] <nelsonuwp> !widget
[04:33] <psYchotic> SurfnKid: tell us what your problem is, then maybe someone can try helping you
[04:33] <Savage-{> SurfnKid: how much ram you got?
[04:33] <scoobydoo28139> WOW ! this is so cool , ok i found a .sh file in my install cd, what would be the command in terminal?
[04:33] <nelsonuwp> !widget
[04:33] <Baalial> Didn't work Dawn..
[04:33] <timmyd> i'm trying to set up raid1 after installing ubuntu, and then when i try to boot, after it says starting ubuntu in the console mount fails because it cannot find the filesystem type devfs
[04:34] <bknitram> scoobydoo28139, ./file.sh
[04:34] <Baalial> But now, when I boot up, the loading bar says "Ubuntu"
[04:34] <alia> hello
[04:34] <scoobydoo28139> bknitram: do i haver to tell it to look in a cd drive?
[04:34] <kitche> SurfnKid: what's your problem?
[04:34] <neoice> any ideas why I'm having so many issues with mounting CDs in server 7.04?
[04:34] <scoobydoo28139> *have
[04:34] <bknitram> scoobydoo28139, You must cd to the cd drive
[04:35] <Savage-{> neoice: type in console: mount and see if it is mounted
[04:35] <nelsonuwp> what is better.. desklet or widget
[04:35] <neoice> yeah, it clearly isnt
 I have installed all vnc packages via synaptic
[04:35] <Savage-{> neoice: type: mount /dev/hdc
[04:35] <bknitram> scoobydoo28139, Should cd /media/cdrom
[04:36] <neoice> salvage: I'll try mounting it several times and it wont work and then a few boots later it will
[04:36] <timmyd> can mkinitrd put devfs into the initrd image?
[04:36] <neoice> salvage: no media
[04:36] <SurfnKid> kitche, well i removed the swap  with swapoff -a and the memory kicks in with no swap. Thats all good. However the Ubuntu menu doesnt paint properly, I cant see Places/System all that good, I can access them but its funny it only does it when the swap is off
[04:36] <SurfnKid> kitche, I removed the swap using the vm.swappiness or something set to 0
[04:36] <Savage-{> neoice: CD in the drive?
[04:36] <neoice> salvage: also no media in /media/cdrom, cdrom
[04:37] <neoice> indeed
[04:37] <Jordan_U> artabrahao, I have vncserver from the package "vncserver", just to triple check, try: sudo apt-get install vncserver
[04:37] <neoice> salvage: excuse me, no mediUM
[04:37] <AliaDr> lll
[04:37] <Savage-{> neoice: it sounds like a CD problem
[04:37] <scoobydoo28139> weird, no such directory...
[04:37] <kitche> SurfnKid: hmm soudns liek you need swap then :)
[04:37] <Savage-{> neoice: try another CD
[04:38] <neoice> salvage: but it happens with multiple CDs and sometimes works automatically
[04:38] <Clarrisa_2008> how do I search for a folder on my linux/ubuntu box?  I'm logged in as root.
[04:38] <scoobydoo28139> will screen shot work in paste bin?

[04:39] <wastedfluid> Hi guys.  I'm giving in.. I had the 64-bit edition of Ubuntu installed.  I give up; I need Java and flash.  Can i just use ubuntu live and delete all the ubutnu partitions.. and install a fresh copy of ubuntu 32bit .. without messing up anything?
[04:39] <Savage-{> neoice: do you have the mount applet added to the taskbar
[04:39] <pctools_> hola??
[04:39] <agentnewb> SurfnKid: what your problem with swap?
[04:39] <m0u5e> OMG I give up! I have no idea how to configure my linksys WPC54GSv2 card! It just won't work, not even with ndiswrapper!!!!!
[04:39] <scoobydoo28139> -desktop:~$ run cdrom/linux-installer.sh
[04:39] <scoobydoo28139> ???
[04:39] <Ashnal> One more Q, how do i set grub to default boot win XP?
[04:39] <agentnewb> m0u5e: calm down
[04:39] <neoice> salvage: server edition, havent set up a GUI, dont really intend to... nor could I since I cant read from the Ubuntu cd currently
[04:39] <Clarrisa_2008> I have a LAMP server set up,  and I'm trying to find out how to search for a directory from the bash prompt
[04:40] <voidmage> find <foo> | grep whateveR?
[04:40] <agentnewb> m0u5e: grab the latest ndiswrapper source and compile it then be sure to use the driver fitted for your processor type
[04:40] <m0u5e> agentnewb: :D its frustrating, i dont even get a signal
[04:40] <Savage-{> neoice: oh right
[04:40] <SurfnKid> kitche, heh yeh i guess, let me ask, whats the number represent in vm.swappiness i.e. 0 50 75
 When I try to install vncserver again, an erro message appears, in portuguese, but anything like vncserver is not available or is older and is referencede by another package
[04:40] <agentnewb> m0u5e: make sure the old ndiswrapper is 'fully' removed and rmmod ndiswrapepr then modprobe ndiswrapper
[04:40] <neoice> clarissa: go to /, "find . -name foo -print" is what I've been using
[04:40] <scoobydoo28139> bknitram,I am haveing trouble with the language, i don't know how to tell it to run linux installer on cd drive
[04:40] <SurfnKid> agentnewb, i dont want swap, but my menus dont paint correctly
[04:40] <agentnewb> m0u5e: check to see if it has a switch to turn it on and off or a bios setting
[04:40] <wastedfluid> I have the ubuntu 64bit edition installed, dual booted w/ xp... if I download the 32bit edition of ubuntu, and just delete the ubuntu partitions.. will the 32-bit edition of ubuntu run fine on a 64bit amd?
[04:41] <Savage-{> neoice: just type: mkdir /mnt/cdrom -> mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom
[04:41] <agentnewb> m0u5e: if you can do iwlist and get a response then it is working
[04:41] <Clarrisa_2008> voidmage, how do I get it to search in subfolders?
[04:42] <m0u5e> agentnewb: its a pcmcia card, and i know its there, but i just wont see any networks
[04:42] <agentnewb> SurfnKid: swap is very much useful if configured right. You can turn down how often it uses it and optimize your hard drive with hdparm.
[04:42] <neoice> salvage: no medium found.
[04:42] <Clarrisa_2008> neoice...just saw your message, this thing moves so fast
[04:42] <Jordan_U> artabrahao, Do you have the universe repository enabled?
[04:42] <m0u5e> agentnewb: do you mean there might be a switch for the card? or the motherboard bios?
[04:42] <SurfnKid> agentnewb, awesome.... got any tips on hdparm
[04:42] <Savage-{> neoice: that is a CD problem right there
[04:42] <neoice> clarrisa: the -print should allow you to push enter
[04:42] <Ashnal> Can you guys tell me how to set XP as the default OS in grub?
[04:42] <voidmage> Clarrisa_2008: iirc it goes as deep as it can
[04:42] <agentnewb> m0u5e: yeah but you installed this card yourself right?
[04:42] <NoelJB> Is anyone familar with VNC and Gnome under Ubuntu?  I have it working with RHEL, but the same documented configuration fails with Feisty.
[04:42] <Savage-{> neoice: try an original CD of somekind
[04:43] <agentnewb> m0u5e: is it one of those that have an atenna?
[04:43] <scoobydoo28139> bknitram: um please help me get this i want to learn how
[04:43] <neoice> salvage: CD media or CD drive? cause it worked YESTERDAY with 2 different CDs
[04:43] <kitche> Ashnal: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and change teh lien default to the number that your XP is
[04:43] <Savage-{> neoice: media
[04:43] <neoice> salvage: although both times required a reboot + some luck I guess?
[04:43] <Ashnal> k thanks
 what is universe repository ?
[04:43] <anathematic> does installing the xserver/xwindows increase in-stability on my ubuntu server?
[04:44] <agentnewb> SurfnKid: sure just let me grab the link
[04:44] <scoobydoo28139> hmm
[04:44] <Jordan_U> !universe | artabrahao
[04:44] <m0u5e> agentnewb: it doesnt have an antenna
[04:44] <SurfnKid> agentnewb, berry guud thankx :)
[04:44] <scoobydoo28139> is there another help channel i could go to to get help with this?
[04:44] <agentnewb> m0u5e: if you bought the card separately and installed it then I doubt so. What do you get at end of dmesg is it detecting something about the card?
[04:44] <m0u5e> agentnewb: its just a regular linksys WPC54GSv2 pcmcia card
[04:44] <cristhianNewbie> hello. does anybody know about Gambas ?
[04:44] <Savage-{> neoice: if you have tried an original CD and it doesn't work then something else is up and it is hard to tell what it is
[04:44] <Jordan_U> artabrahao, It allows you to install community maintained software, enable it in System -> Administration -> Software-sources
[04:45] <tapio> http://www.vtc.com/products/cprog.htm I would like to be able to play these videos. Does anyone know how?
[04:45] <agentnewb> m0u5e: I've had bad run ins with linksys cards in the pass mine was a wmp54g I think turns out it used a rt7400 driver whatever that is
[04:45] <Clarrisa_2008> neoice:  THANK YOU!!!! that works great.... damn I need to write this stuff down
[04:45] <Savage-{> neoice: it is hard for me to tell anyways

[04:45] <NoelJB> Is anyone familar with VNC and Gnome under Ubuntu?  I have it working with RHEL, but the same documented configuration fails with Feisty.
[04:45] <cristhianNewbie> i need a c++ compiler for my ubuntu . any suggestions ?
[04:46] <scoobydoo28139> bash cdrom0/'/media/cdrom0/linux-installer.sh' ?
[04:46] <Jordan_U> cristhianNewbie, install build-essential
[04:46] <artabrahao> t<Jordan_U> it is to typr !universe in ubuntu terminal?
[04:46] <SurfnKid> one question about the Wifi miniPCI 2200 (i think thats what it is) Intel WIFI card, is it just as easy to configure with ndiswrapper? or do you need massive configuration
[04:46] <m0u5e> eth1      IEEE 802.11b/g  ESSID:"S"  Nickname:"Broadcom 4318"
[04:46] <m0u5e>    , etc etc etc
[04:46] <cristhianNewbie> where in the world is build esssential ?
[04:46] <scoobydoo28139> sudo basher installo cdo please helpo :0
[04:46] <NoelJB> cristhianNewbie: apt-cache search c++.  Needless to say, you'll find it.  :-)
[04:46] <cristhianNewbie> thanks Noel
[04:47] <anathematic> does installing the xserver/xwindows increase in-stability on my ubuntu server?
[04:47] <m0u5e> i tried installing ndisgtk just to see if a gui would make it any simpler, but it just gives me a Hardware?: nO
[04:47] <NoelJB> anathematic: if you need to ask ...
[04:47] <keeganx> Hi everyone, I was wonder how would I customize my XFCE menu?  I tried using the Menu Editor, but its just useless.  Is there a way I can customize it like the Fluxbox menus?
[04:47] <lastkey0> Hi, how to use emerald theme manager
[04:47] <NoelJB> generally speaking, a server needs a GUI like a porche needs a horse trailer, but YMMV.
[04:47] <anathematic> NoelJB:  i mean it doesn't effect it that badly does it?
[04:47] <PCGenie> hello is there a security forum of ubuntu?
[04:48] <agentnewb> SurfnKid: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8308
[04:48] <SurfnKid> agentnewb, thx
[04:48] <NoelJB> anathematic: <<shrug>> it is overhead if you don't need it.  Security is another matter.  I certainly wouldn't open those ports.  I close them all, and then use SSH.  If I *need* a GUI, I would SSH and then access it through the tunnels.
[04:49] <scoobydoo28139> helpo pleaso
[04:49] <scoobydoo28139> me o
[04:49] <agentnewb> m0u5e: trust me you don't need a gui, that's meant for people whom test a lot of the wireless devices
[04:49] <m0u5e> agentnewb: i matched up what lspci with what they gave w/ ndiswrapper
[04:49] <m0u5e> agentnewb: but it still doesnt work
[04:49] <PCGenie> Hello again, I am asking because my Ubuntu just got hacked into over the net, need some advice here
[04:49] <Ironman273> I'm having a problem uninstalling AWN
[04:49] <agentnewb> m0u5e: might be support was dropped because a native linux driver was made
[04:49] <anathematic> NoelJB:  i was looking at installing a torrent program on my server that's all but as far as i've been told i need to install the graphical interface to do it, i'd rather not do that i guess
[04:50] <Ironman273> It doesn't seem like it's installed but the icons don't go away
[04:50] <scoobydoo28139> <<is discouraged
[04:50] <Clarrisa_2008> Does anyone know why I'd be getting the following message when I try to run phpmyadmin: The configuration file now needs a secret passphrase (blowfish_secret).
[04:50] <bimberi> PCGenie: there isn't one that I know of.  There might be one on ubuntuforums.org
[04:50] <Ironman273> Any ideas?
[04:51] <m0u5e> agentnewb: wouldn't they update that on the list then?
[04:51] <agentnewb> m0u5e: update? that would be a removal not an update
[04:51] <Clarrisa_2008> I've googled it and I keep find links about XAMPP installation config file.  to my knowledge I've never installed xampp
[04:51] <agentnewb> m0u5e: for testing purposes that old information might be useful

[04:52] <agentnewb> m0u5e: what model did you say it was? you downloaded the driver from linksys site or used copy off the cd?
[04:52] <ubotu> artabrahao: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[04:52] <agentnewb> m0u5e: you can use unzip -a to remove drivers from .exe or try using wine

[04:53] <incognito> whats the command to mount a harddrive to the system in the fstab file? it's not vfat, and i dont think its fat32.  what is it?
[04:53] <m0u5e> agentnewb: its a WPC54GSv2, i downloaded the drivers from linksys
[04:53] <Ironman273> Anyone have any experience with AWN?
[04:53] <kitche> incognito: what's the filesystem on the harddrive
[04:53] <agentnewb> m0u5e: they change the software at linksys site quite a lot, you might want to try what you got on the cd that was packaged with your hardware
[04:53] <insomniac190> ironman273: wouldnt say experience, but i did install awn today
[04:53] <incognito> kitche fat32
[04:54] <kitche> incognito: vfat
[04:54] <incognito> kitche oh so it IS vfat
[04:54] <Ironman273> insomniac: would you know why I can't seem to uninstall it?
[04:54] <incognito> hrmmm
[04:54] <m0u5e> agentnewb: i dont have the cd anymore
[04:54] <agentnewb> m0u5e: ask around maybe someone else does..
[04:54] <Ironman273> insomniac: actually, it seems like it's uninstalled, just the icons are still in the menu
[04:54] <m0u5e> agentnewb: it shouldn't matter should it? the drivers they give with the new pack should work :X
[04:54] <wesside> anyone available to help me out with getting my wireless working?
[04:54] <guaxinim> how i install a true type font?
[04:55] <agentnewb> m0u5e: well they can switch ones on site anytime so ndiswrapper is probably tested against what most wireless cards are shipped with

[04:55] <wesside> mine's on a laptop, specifically HP DV6105CA

[05:13] <agentnewb> zDiogo: oh I see your netstat post well windows uses a lot of odd network ports for its applications you might want to check into that
[05:14] <OSTENICUS_> well he might be dead, i think hes just sleeping
[05:14] <kitche> zDiogo: <IP_ADDRESS>.0 means it's listening on every network interface
[05:14] <zDiogo> agentnewb:  because I am trying to connect in 4747 pot and I am not getting successs
[05:14] <scoobydoo28139> channel; how do you run an install file on a cd?
[05:14] <agentnewb> bricky: your mouse is queer
[05:14] <neoice> so I still cant get a CD to mount in 7.04 server
[05:14] <kitche> curiogeo: umm not j z
[05:14] <curiogeo> Penguinista: so how do I avoid it
[05:14] <agentnewb> zDiogo: is port 4747 in use?
[05:14] <kitche> neoice: what kind of cd
[05:14] <neoice> have 2 copies of the server disc on 2 different media, burned at different speeds... neither respond
[05:14] <Killaz> hey, can some1 help me with some Visual Basic Code?
[05:14] <chevypower> bricky - click 'System > Preferences > Mouse' and configure one.
[05:14] <zDiogo> how I know if 4747 is in use ?
[05:14] <agentnewb> zDiogo: long as its over 1023 or 1024 it should be fine
[05:15] <agentnewb> Killaz: if its qb I can
[05:15] <Xenguy> Killaz: die
[05:15] <curiogeo> kitche:
[05:15] <Penguinista> You don't.  That's how Windows programs work.  RPC - remote procedure call.  Procedures passed regardless of what machine is doing the calling.
[05:15] <Killaz> err?
[05:15] <curiogeo> kitche: you very clever thank you
[05:15] <zDiogo> agentnewb: how I know if 4747 is in use ?
[05:15] <agentnewb> Killaz: if your truly running VB then I laugh at you, that language is dead
[05:16] <Killaz> my teacher made me do it :(
[05:16] <agentnewb> zDiogo: what do you see when that program is not running?
[05:16] <Penguinista> One way to make sure that RPC doesn't leave you vulnerable is to block the affected ports from outside your machine with a firewall...
[05:16] <kitche> agentnewb: hope you know many companies use VB still VB,.net
[05:16] <agentnewb> zDiogo: do you see a place in registry or the programs configuration you can change the port?
[05:16] <curiogeo> kitche: that worked thanks
[05:16] <pike_> vb is actually used quite a bit in the offices ive worked at
[05:16] <Obeah> I'm finding that ripping CD's is using 80-90% of the processor and even locking up the machine on this new Feisty install. It's an AMD 2700+ with nothing else running.
[05:16] <agentnewb> kitche: as I understand the .net architecture allows for integration of other languages to usurp visual basic
[05:17] <zDiogo> agentnewb:  I cant change the port where this program is running
[05:17] <Jordan_U>  kitche Doesn't make it any less of a nightmare, I'd rather use FORTRAN
[05:17] <agentnewb> zDiogo: why not?
[05:17] <agentnewb> Jordan_U: where do you learn FORTRAN???
[05:17] <zDiogo> agentnewb: because it is a game server and all programs connect in this port
[05:17] <witless> updating packages gives me this message:  "you are about to update packages that *can't be authenticated*!".  how do i fix this?
[05:17] <Draconicus> I've got framebuffer problems on this laptop. Ubuntu's usplash shows as nothing but a repeating pattern of pixels. That's just an example, though. When Xorg starts, it starts all scrambly, but if I hit ctrl+alt+backspace to restart it once, it loads up just fine. If I restart X again at any point after that, I'm stuck with a black screen and the laptop seems to cease function, much like what happens if I attempt to switch out of
[05:17] <Draconicus> X and into a tty console.
[05:18] <agentnewb> zDiogo: ah if its game server thing then fix your router, that's most likely your issue
[05:18] <pike_> Killaz: i dont know that there is a vb channel on freenode
[05:18] <xeno_> is anyone able to help me setup distcc for crosscompiling with a ppc machine?
[05:18] <Jordan_U> agentnewb, Don't ask, I don't like being reminded...
[05:18] <Killaz> pike_: do u knwo where i could fine one?
[05:18] <powerblue> hi whats this?
[05:18] <agentnewb> Jordan_U: there sooo many fortran flavors to install I'm wandering what it is
[05:18] <zDiogo> agentnewb: but when I run this server in vmware it works, but in wine didnt
[05:18] <agentnewb> Jordan_U: I like to use perl
[05:18] <AxE> someone say axe ?
[05:19] <AxE> O_o
[05:19] <Pelo>  lol
[05:19] <Flannel> lgc: Linux will fill all the RAM it's given.  Unused RAM is wasted RAM.  If something else needs it though, it'll be freed
[05:19] <agentnewb> zDiogo: you really should try checking the wine application database at winehq.org
[05:19] <paul__> hi guys!
[05:19] <rollerskatejamms> w00t!
[05:19] <powerblue> hi paul!
[05:19] <rollerskatejamms> I just convinced my girlfriend to install ubuntu on her laptop
[05:19] <powerblue> u like me??
[05:19] <AxE> lol
[05:19] <agentnewb> zDiogo: what wine version you using? latest is 0.9.37
[05:19] <paul__> hello blue
[05:19] <AxE> rollerskatejamms: wow you trying to make her break up with you? :p
[05:19] <powerblue> paul im using ubuntu feisty ryt now
[05:19] <agentnewb> zDiogo: there is also #winehq
[05:19] <rollerskatejamms> AxE, ...
[05:19] <zDiogo> agentnewb: I am doing a diferent 0.9.33
[05:19] <pike_> Killaz: sry dunno  other than maybe newsgroups you might try efnet
[05:19] <paul__> ok...
[05:19] <zDiogo> I am there too
[05:20] <Pelo> rollerskatejamms,  you'll be a lonely boy from now on,  she'll love it so much you'll never see her again
[05:20] <Killaz> efnet?
[05:20] <paul__> im using my computer ryt now!
[05:20] <rollerskatejamms> Pelo, heh
[05:20] <powerblue> how can i install beryl here?
[05:20] <zDiogo> agentnewb:  but they asked to come here because my question is about netstat
[05:20] <powerblue> any1 got an idea?
[05:20] <Draconicus> paul__: slugbug is that you?
[05:20] <Pelo> powerblue,  a better place to ask would be in #beryl , they know all about that stuff
[05:20] <agentnewb> zDiogo: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/index.html
[05:20] <Flannel> powerblue: #ubuntu-effects for beryl support
[05:20] <Obeah> powerblue: sudo apt-get isntall beryl
[05:20] <lgc> Flannel, thanks. I still have some memory labeled as 'free2: "Mem:   2068224k total,  1992604k used,    75620k free,   338836k buffers
[05:20] <lgc> "
[05:21] <powerblue> ive ah thanks guys
[05:21] <paul__> nope
[05:21] <powerblue> thanks a lot guys
[05:21] <Killaz> :'(~~~~ are u telling me that with 1000 nerds... theres not 1 who's proficinet in VB6?
[05:21] <agentnewb> zDiogo: what sort of game server is it?
[05:21] <witless> how do i fix "you are about to update packages that *can't be authenticated*" error in the update manager?
[05:21] <bruenig> vb6 is not for nerds
[05:21] <yanger> hi, trying to automount external usb hdds but not working, i tried to access the System -> Preferences -> Removable Drives and Media, but i get the error message: Volume management not supported ... but i see hald in ps
[05:21] <zDiogo> agentnewb: Magic Workstation
[05:21] <Killaz> :'(~~~~
[05:21] <Killaz> im a nerd....
[05:21] <Pelo> Killaz,  this channel mostly deals with hardware issues and getting noobs started
[05:21] <agentnewb> zDiogo: I'm surprised there isn't a native linux server port
[05:21] <zDiogo> agentnewb: they do a version only to run on windows plataform
[05:21] <pike_> Killaz: its too pratical. wanna talk about ruby?
[05:22] <Akuma_> how do i connect to other linux boxes on the lan?
[05:22] <Killaz> Pelo: is there ny place that can help me?
[05:22] <bruenig> just use mono
[05:22] <pike_> Akuma_: how are you wanting to connect? a remote shell or what?
[05:22] <wastrel> #vb #windows
[05:22] <Jordan_U> Akuma_, Connect in what way?
[05:22] <bruenig> ##windows
[05:22] <wastrel> nobody here uses vb because we're linux users
[05:22] <Obeah> How come sound juicer nearly pins my AMD athlon 2700+  while ripping a CD with nothing else running?
[05:22] <Pelo> Killaz,  I don'T even know what BV6 is ,  so try a VB6 website and look for a link to an irc channel there
[05:22] <VR_> !pidgin
[05:23] <bruenig> virtual basic
[05:23] <AngryElf> after I install the 9755 nvidia driver, it works w/o a reboot, but after a reboot it's dead -- something about a mismatched kernel module or something......any ideas?
[05:23] <Draconicus> Ah. Hey. I found the solution.
[05:23] <bruenig> microsoft trash
[05:23] <zDiogo> agentnewb: this is my netstat, this mean that mwshost.exe is listening my 4747 port ? : tcp  0 0 <IP_ADDRESS>:4747  <IP_ADDRESS>:*  LISTEN  20527/mwshost.exe
[05:23] <Draconicus> I need to recompile my kernel without a certain thingy.
[05:23] <Jordan_U> VR_, There is a pidgin .deb on getdeb.com
[05:23] <Pelo> bruenig,  I realised when I saw the mention of windows
[05:23] <Killaz> linux... wats that :P
[05:23] <m0u5e> AHA!
[05:23] <m0u5e> can anyone explain to me what bcm44xx cutter does?
[05:23] <pike_> Killaz: lotta fanboys here and im prob one of em but vb is good on a resume
[05:23] <Akuma_> pike_: Jordan_U: sorry should have specified. access shares. i know how to do it with samba odly enough .... but can they be mixed on the same network? i'm kinda confused about the whole issue
[05:23] <agentnewb> zDiogo: do you have a firewall on your linux box or a router it is connected to?
[05:24] <funkja> I have a directory that has a bunch of music in it, is there a program somewhere that can find the track information and put it all in the right folders and organize it?
[05:24] <m0u5e> I know that it extracts firmware information from broadcom devices, but beyond that :D
[05:24] <SirBob1701> does anyone know how easy it is to create replicating servers in linux? (one change on one server propogates to the other)
[05:24] <NoelJB> Well, no joy from anyone here, but I did find the problem I am encountering doc'd: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/feisty/+source/vnc4/+bug/78282
[05:24] <crdlb> m0u5e: it's the firmware for broadcom wireless cards that has to be loaded
[05:24] <agentnewb> zDiogo: are you trying to host the server online and are behind a firewall enable some form of port forwarding or stick your static ip adress in the dmz zone
[05:24] <zDiogo> agentnewb: I allowed my 4747 port
[05:24] <crdlb> normal wifi cards already have their firmware flashed onto the chip
[05:24] <Jordan_U> m0u5e, Basically you have the drivers for your wireless card already but the card itself needs the code that runs on it's processor to be loaded by the OS when it is used, bcm43xx-fwcutter gets you this code ( firmware ) so you can use your card
[05:24] <wastrel> Akuma_:  easiest way is to install openssh-server everywhere and use "connect to server" in nautilus or places menu
[05:25] <zDiogo> agentnewb:  I am trying connect local to test, and didn't work
[05:25] <lgc> Flannel, is that a feature or a bug?
[05:25] <agentnewb> zDiogo: perhaps it denies localhost connections
[05:25] <agentnewb> zDiogo: does it allow such on windows?
[05:26] <zDiogo> agentnewb: when I run it in windows I can make local connections
[05:26] <Akuma_> wastrel: and the ssh server allows to browse the shares through nautilus?
[05:26] <scoobydoo28139> what do you type in terminal to tell ubuntu to open the .sh file on a CD ?
[05:26] <zDiogo> agentnewb: I think that I need to do something in my rinetd to work .. because in vmware I need
[05:26] <Pelo> scoobydoo28139,   sudo ./path/file.sh
[05:27] <agentnewb> zDiogo: http://sourceforge.net/projects/magic-project/
[05:27] <pike_> scoobydoo28139: depends. normally sh file.sh but do 'head file.sh' and see what the first line of it says
[05:27] <Pelo> scoobydoo28139, you might need to change permission first
[05:27] <wastrel> Akuma_:  if the remote machine has ssh server running, yes you can browse the filesystem with nautilus
[05:27] <yanger> ok, that was suupiid... ;\ i did a aptitude reinstall hal, and it worked... there were some notes in ubuntu forums but lots of people said it didn't work.. for me, it worked. thanks all whom tried :P
[05:27] <xeno_> is anyone able to help me setup distcc for crosscompiling with a ppc machine?
[05:27] <m0u5e> jordon_U: ty :)
[05:27] <scoobydoo28139> pike: tks
[05:27] <scoobydoo28139> pelo: ok thanks
[05:28] <zDiogo> agentnewb:  this is another program to play magic, but all players use MWS to play
[05:28] <Mysticcal> is it possible to uninstall gnome?
[05:28] <Mysticcal> GNOME*?
[05:28] <Mysticcal> i installed it and now I don't want it... don't need it if I can just SSH in
[05:28] <boghog> hi
[05:28] <Draconicus> Mysticcal: sudo apt-get remove gnome ?
[05:28] <Pelo> Mysticcal, I guess , try from synaptic
[05:29] <Akuma_> wastrel: good to know. thanks
[05:29] <Pelo> Draconicus,  might nor remove all the pacakges
[05:29] <Mysticcal> yeah
[05:29] <Draconicus> Pelo: It'll get rid of anything depending on it.
[05:29] <SurfnKid> agentnewb, question on the tty thing on that linuxjournal site, I tried editing file /etc/inittab
[05:29] <Mysticcal> i want to remove all the packages
[05:29] <SurfnKid> but there's no file
[05:29] <artabrahao> what is the universe?
[05:29] <Draconicus> 99% of all Debian system users don't apt-get clean regularly.
[05:29] <Draconicus> All those packages build up.
[05:29] <Jordan_U> Mysticcal, sudo apt-get remove <whatever> --auto-remove
[05:29] <PurpZeY> artabrahao: It's a repository of programs....
[05:29] <scoobydoo28139> pelo: terminal say's command not found
[05:29] <dezine> I found a couple sources on how to install and apache but none seem to work, can someone point me to a good site that explains it better?
 and how install that?
[05:30] <Mysticcal> sudo apt-get install apache2?
[05:30] <Pelo> scoobydoo28139,  try that other way  th other guy mentionned
[05:30] <pike_> dezine: well installation is pretty easy. you wondering howto set it up?
[05:30] <wastrel> 86% of statistics are made up on the spot, 53.2% of people know that
[05:30] <insomniac190> is there a program that willl display rss feeds on my desktop?
[05:30] <agentnewb> SurfnKid: yep I came into same conclusion. Turns out ubuntu uses a faster boot method and you might want to try out sysv-rc-conf as well as checking .config in your home directory
[05:30] <dezine> o
[05:30] <dezine> well
[05:30] <agentnewb> SurfnKid: no clue yet as to how to turn off the extra tty
[05:31] <SurfnKid> agentnewb, really? no clue yet on ubuntu?
[05:31] <dezine> I think apache is set up, the instructions I went by causes errors
[05:31] <zDiogo> agentnewb:  my firewall -> ACCEPT     tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere            tcp dpt:4747
[05:31] <dezine> let me check
[05:31] <SurfnKid> agentnewb, I thought it'd be discovered by now :P
[05:31] <agentnewb> SurfnKid: I've been busy setting up beryl and getting wireless going with this other box
[05:31] <dezine> ok, with it installed how do I set it up?
[05:32] <SurfnKid> agentnewb, cool, miniPCI ?
[05:32] <lgc> Is there a graphical app to find out what is in RAM? (I mean, something like "20% user, 60% system", or whatever).
[05:32] <agentnewb> SurfnKid: yeah
[05:32] <boghog> I just installed Ubuntu on a computer that has three harddisks, one 100GB disk, a 160GB one and a 200GB disk
[05:32] <pike_> dezine: if you goto http://localhost in browser you get the apache page?
[05:33] <Pelo> lgc,   menu > system > admin > system monitor
 and how install that?
[05:33] <ndiswrapper-guy> anyone know how to password protect folders in ubuntu
[05:33] <agentnewb> SurfnKid: been getting into the whole embedded linux thing with my linksys router got dd-wrt so sort of not keeping up to pace, try checking into something called system V
[05:33] <SurfnKid> agentnewb, im using the bcm4306, what are u using
[05:33] <scoobydoo28139> pelo:bash: /media/cdrom0/linux-installer.sh: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied
[05:33] <boghog> I removed the existing partition from the 200GB disk and manually created a 20GB ext3 partition mounted on "/", and a swap partition of 1GB (leaving the rest of the disk unused)
[05:33] <funkja> I have a directory of music that I want to get organized into folders by artists. Are there any programs that will do this?
[05:33] <dezine> Yeah it seems to be up, it's showing the index
[05:33] <agentnewb> SurfnKid: TheSheep over in xubuntu might be able to explain more about tweaking ubuntu but I didn't understood what he was saying about boot up methods
[05:33] <SurfnKid> agentnewb, cool never heard of it
[05:33] <PurpZeY> artabrahao: Synaptic....Settings--->Repositories.
[05:33] <SurfnKid> agentnewb, ok cool
[05:33] <boghog> then the installer went on to install the files and stuff and then at some point asked me to reboot (or continue using the livecd), so I rebooted
[05:34] <lgc> Pelo, sysmon just displays the processes, not a graphical view of the memory strip. Irix has a nice app (whose name I just can't remember now).
[05:34] <boghog> but now it apparently put a GRUB bootloader on the 160GB disk, but it didn't install it correctly and all it gives me is "Error 17"
[05:34] <ndiswrapper-guy> ubuntu runs great on 1ghz machine
[05:34] <SurfnKid> ndiswrapper-guy, sure does
[05:34] <Pelo> scoobydoo28139, try the forum or the wiki
[05:34] <ndiswrapper-guy> is the xubuntu gui faster?
[05:34] <pike_> dezine: youll get better answers in #apache id say to specific questions
[05:34] <agentnewb> boghog: if your trying to dual boot then RTFM!
[05:34] <dezine> alright, thanks
[05:35] <boghog> agentnewb, I just want to install Ubuntu, nothing else
[05:35] <Pelo> lgc,  open up synaptic and search with keywords  then browse the packages available until you hit the right one
[05:35] <ndiswrapper-guy> is heir any quick ways to get ubuntu to run faster
[05:35] <boghog> I followed this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall
[05:35] <agentnewb> boghog: odd might want to fdisk it yourself then  and try again, your using ext3 and some swap right?
[05:35] <lgc> Pelo, thanks. Let me try that.
[05:35] <mike01> how do i get my sound working?
[05:35] <boghog> yeah ext3 20GB for / and 1GB swap, both on the 200GB disk
[05:35] <Pelo> ndiswrapper-guy,  google ubuntu optimize
[05:36] <mike01> it works in xmms but not in the system
[05:36] <mike01> and in xmms i am using alsa with my hardware manually selected
[05:36] <Pelo> !sound | mike01
[05:36] <mike01> no other program sounds work either
[05:36] <mike01> already read the guides
[05:36] <Pelo> is the bot down again ?
[05:36] <mike01> the problem is getting it to use what i want
[05:36] <pike_> ndiswrapper-guy: there are a couple things. how much ram you have? id check disk io too with sudo hdparm /dev/hda   or whatever the hd ubuntu is on is. seems to me feisty is pretty conservative with setting some things up
[05:36] <mike01> hardware is detected and worked if i can select it
[05:37] <insomniac190> so there is no program that will display rss feeds on my desktop?
[05:37] <chuck`_> http://pastebin.ca/506661 -- are these many active instances of apache2 normal? (re: "Working as Intended")
[05:37] <scoobydoo28139> the it was a simple one line any one could have given me any way at any time
[05:38] <pike_> scoobydoo28139: ?
[05:38] <Pelo> insomniac190,  install gdesklets and check the gdesklets site for rss applets,  there might be a few in the gdesklets extra s in the repos
[05:38] <agentnewb> ndiswrapper-guy: try this http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8308 and read the next 2 articles, then install something called sysv-rc-conf and learn what those services are so you can turn them off
[05:38] <agentnewb> ndiswrapper-guy: you can also turn down grub pause and bios pause a few seconds for faster boot up
[05:38] <Fezzler> to execute "kill -HUP PID", how do I find what PID should be?  Trying to restart inetd.conf to get swat going
[05:39] <johntheunique> i installed automatix via a deb file and now it's screwed everything up
[05:39] <johntheunique> i can't use apt-get anymore, it gives me python errors
[05:39] <scoobydoo28139> pike i give tonight i am frustrated and annoyed
[05:39] <agentnewb> Fezzler: do ps aux | grep thenyourapplicationhere
[05:39] <scoobydoo28139> pike: thanks though, i will try later
[05:39] <SirBob1701> does anyone know how easy it is to create replicating servers in linux? (one change on one server propogates to the other)
[05:39] <ubotu> pidgin is the new name for Gaim forced by AOL's legal dept. It wasn't released in time for Feisty. Expect it in gutsy. See http://www.pidgin.im/index.php for more info.
[05:40] <johntheunique> aol is the bomb!
[05:40] <agentnewb> who activated the ubotu?
[05:40] <ubotu> mike01: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[05:40] <Pelo> it was just lagging
[05:40] <mike01> the alsa mixer works
[05:40] <agentnewb> is there a pidgin for other operating systems?
[05:40] <johntheunique> agentnewb: sure
[05:41] <mike01> if i change the volume with kmix on pcm it controls the xmms playback volume
[05:41] <mike01> the problem is that i cant hear any system sounds
[05:41] <mike01> or any other programs for that matter
[05:41] <Pelo> mike01,  and you did check in alsamixier to make sure everthig was enalbled and not muted ?
[05:42] <Fezzler> agent: What's the pid in the resulting string...1000      6999  0.0  0.1   2880   748 pts/0    R+   23:40   0:00 grep inetd.conf
[05:42] <mike01> alsa mixer works
[05:42] <wastrel> USER       PID PU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
[05:42] <mike01> master and pcm volume control works and changes the volume of xmms music playback
[05:42] <pike_> ah pidgin is gaim now
[05:42] <mike01> however, there are no system sounds
[05:42] <mike01> or any other programs for that matter
[05:42] <wastrel> Fezzler:  ps aux | head -n 1
[05:43] <mike01> it seems that the default sound device chosen by kde and all other programs is the wrong one or something
[05:43] <johntheunique> if i use mplayer with pidgin i get an awful crackling noise at the end of sounds
[05:43] <johntheunique> sound seems to work fine on my system otherwise
[05:44] <Fezzler> Still don't understand what gets inserted for "PID"
[05:44] <bruenig> johntheunique, pidgin is not in ubuntu right now, so your problem is not supported
[05:44] <Fezzler> 1000      7087  0.0  0.1   2880   752 pts/0    R+   23:43   0:00 grep inetd
[05:44] <Pelo> Fezzler, process id number,
[05:44] <johntheunique> bruenig: thanks for the heads up
[05:45] <johntheunique> bruenig: is pidgin really that different from gaim besides the name change?
[05:45] <dezine> the apache channel seems dead, just a simple question, where is the local www folder located?
[05:45] <Pelo> Fezzler, type top inthe terminal and look at the first column
[05:45] <scoobydoo28139> good night channel
[05:45] <bruenig> johntheunique, quite a few ui changes but not really much underneath
[05:45] <dezine> of apache that is
[05:46] <Mysticcal> sigh /var/www
[05:46] <johntheunique> bruenig: so have you heard of anything like this with gaim?
[05:46] <mdious> is /www sometimes under /usr/local/apache/www ?
[05:46] <johntheunique> i'll try installing gaim and see if the issue goes away
[05:46] <bruenig> johntheunique, I haven't heard of it under gaim or pidgin
[05:46] <mjunx> www is usually in /var/www
[05:46] <mjunx> :)
[05:46] <dezine> oh
[05:46] <puntoUY> can i amplify the microphone volume?
[05:47] <dezine> there it is
[05:47] <dezine> :) thanks
[05:47] <mikunic> how do i update ubuntu?
[05:47] <Fezzler> top is cool but  I don't see inetd; so it must be killed?
[05:47] <dezine> it was in /var
[05:47] <johntheunique> mikunic: System -> Administartion -> Update Manager
[05:47] <mikunic> thanks
[05:47] <wastrel> Fezzler:  there's no inetd in your results, that's the grep command you're seeing.
[05:48] <wastrel> Fezzler:  inetd isn't installed by default.
[05:48] <Toma-> Hmm. Im trying to make an ext2 silesystem in a file ive made with dd thats full of zeros. im getting an error "ubuntu-fs.ext2: Invalid argument passed to ext2 library while setting up superblock" any ideas?
[05:49] <Fezzler> I'm trying to get samba swat going.  I edited the inetd.conf and services files
[05:49] <johntheunique> has anyone else screwed up apt with the automatix installation?
[05:49] <wastrel> Fezzler:  /etc/init.d/inetd restart   ?
[05:49] <Toma-> johntheunique: yep.
[05:49] <Fezzler> Now I have to execute "kill -HUP PID"
[05:49] <johntheunique> Toma-: were you able to fix it?
[05:49] <mariocesar_bo> I get "Group descriptors corrupted" when try to mount an ext3 partition
[05:50] <printk> johntheunique, it's highly recommended to NOT use automatix as it regularly breaks systems
[05:50] <Toma-> johntheunique: restore your /etc/apt/sources.list backup thats made by automatix
[05:50] <Fezzler> wast: is that safe to run...no harm no foul?
[05:50] <mariocesar_bo> anyone knows, how do i fix it ?
[05:50] <Pelo> johntheunique,  a few ppl ,  have it remvoe the progs it installed first then uninstall it , then reinstll he stuff hyou need from the repos
[05:50] <wastrel> Fezzler:   yes safe
[05:50] <wastrel> Fezzler:  is this system live for users ?
[05:50] <dezine> How do I change the permissions on a windows folder so I can copy files from it?
[05:50] <mdious> Toma:  this link might help...http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=231391
[05:50] <johntheunique> Pelo: I didn't use it to install anything
[05:51] <Pelo> johntheunique,  then just remove it
[05:51] <johntheunique> Pelo: I can't, it broke apt
[05:51] <kdub432> dezine, fat filesystems dont have permissions. whoever mounts it, usually root, gets permissions
[05:51] <johntheunique> Pelo: now apt just spews errors
[05:51] <Fezzler> wast: sudo: /etc/init.d/inetd: command not found
[05:51] <Pelo> johntheunique,  do you still have your cd on hand,   try looking for a deb packag for apt in  /cdrom/pool/a/ ...
[05:52] <dezine> Hm, it won't let me copy, I mounted it on here
[05:52] <Toma-> mdious: thanks for that, but ive already read it and its irrelevant to what im doing :)
[05:52] <wastrel> Fezzler:  you don't have inetd installed probably.
[05:52] <gregorovius> Hi, does anyone know how can I configure which calculator gets launched when I press the calc button on my keyboard? I couldn't find anything in google
[05:52] <johntheunique> Pelo: is that downloadable from some where?
[05:52] <Pelo> john_watson,  don'T you have your cd ?
[05:52] <Fezzler> wast: how can I chceck
[05:53] <wastrel> Fezzler:  try  /etc/init.d/xinetd restart  actually
[05:53] <johntheunique> Pelo: i do, but i'm lazy
[05:53] <Pelo> johntheunique, http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?searchon=names&subword=1&version=feisty&release=all&keywords=apt&sourceid=mozilla-search
[05:53] <Penguinista> gregorovius:  System > preferences > keyboard
[05:53] <Fezzler> sudo: /etc/init.d/xinetd: command not found
[05:53] <wastrel> Fezzler:  dpkg -l | grep ^ii.*inetd
[05:54] <dezine> Hm, I think the folder I am trying to copy to is the problem
[05:54] <dezine> not the windows one
[05:54] <mdious> Toma:  sorry, I should have read it a bit better...ah what was I thinking, of course you read it...it was the first result I got hehe :P
[05:54] <wastrel> Fezzler:  well i don't know how swat works but if the packager didn't include inetd in the dependencies, you probably don't need it.
[05:54] <Fezzler> ii  update-inetd                               4.27-0.2                               inetd.conf updater
[05:54] <wastrel> Fezzler:  yeah you don't have inetd installed
[05:55] <gregorovius> Penguinista, I don't see any option there
[05:55] <Fezzler> HMM
[05:55] <gregorovius> neither in Keyboard shortcuts
[05:55] <dezine> interesting enough the apache folder is protected so I can't move files into it
[05:55] <gregorovius> it lets me choose which button launches the calculator, but not which calculator it launches
[05:56] <mike01> so how do i get my sound working?
[05:56] <mike01> its broken
[05:56] <Pelo> mike01, forum
[05:56] <Pelo> search
[05:56] <Pelo> search a lot
[05:56] <tritium> !sound > mike01
[05:57] <mike01> i dont think anyone else has the same problem
[05:57] <mike01> i believe it is caused by my ati hdtv wonder card
[05:57] <mike01> for some reason linux thinks its a real sound card
[05:57] <mike01> and it gets selected over my nforce 4 audio
[05:57] <crimsun> mike01: asoundconf list
[05:57] <Pelo> mike01, maybe no one else has the same problem but reading up on theirs might give you a clue on fixing yours
[05:58] <crimsun> mike01: (tell me the output from that command)
[05:58] <mike01> the first one on the list i sthe one i want
[05:58] <mike01> CK804
[05:58] <dezine> is there a way to change folder permission from the terminal?
[05:58] <mike01> sound works fine in xmms through alsa and me manually selecting the card
[05:58] <mike01> but the system doesnt work
[05:58] <mike01> and no other programs work
[05:58] <tritium> dezine: yes, with the chmod command
[05:58] <Pelo> dezine,   sudo chmod 755  /path
[05:58] <johntheunique> Pelo: looks like the deb installer is broken too
[05:58] <crimsun> mike01: did you manually create /etc/asound.conf and/or ~/.asoundrc* ?
[05:58] <Pelo> dezine,  man chmod for the permissions variations
[05:59] <mike01> dont think so
[05:59] <crimsun> mike01: that's not good enough. Check.
[05:59] <Pelo> johns^,  I don'T suppose you have the build-essential already installed ?
[05:59] <Pelo> johntheunique,  I don'T suppose you have the build-essential already installed ?
[05:59] <johntheunique> Pelo: never heard of that
[06:00] <Pelo> johntheunique,boot up hte live cd , back up your /home folder and resintall ubuntu
[06:00] <johntheunique> ugh!
 thanks a lot!
[06:00] <PurpZeY> artabrahao: no problem.
[06:00] <mike01> found a /home/mike/.asoundrc.asoundconf which is linked to by /home/mike/.asoundrc, should i rename them?
[06:01] <Flannel> johntheunique: Thats why we warn against automatix
[06:01] <Pelo> johntheunique,  you've manage to screw up the installer  you can'T reinstal anything , you can'T uninstall anything,  you're out of options
[06:01] <crimsun> mike01: remove them both.
[06:01] <mike01> ok
[06:01] <dezine> alriiight, that did it
[06:01] <crimsun> mike01: also remove /etc/asound.conf if it exists
[06:01] <mdious> dezine:  0=no permissions, 1= execute, 2=write, 3= write and execute, 4=read, 5=read and execute, 6=read write, 7=read write execute.  first number is for owner, next group, then the last number is for everyone else.  Please correct me if I'm wrong
[06:02] <johntheunique> Flannel: wish i had seen the warning before
[06:02] <Flannel> johntheunique: We try and spread the word as much as we can.
[06:02] <mike01> now what should i do reboot?
[06:02] <dezine> Yeah I've used chmod but only from ftp programs in windows
[06:02] <dezine> thanks though :)
[06:02] <ajmorris_> what is the CLI command for formatting
[06:02] <johntheunique> I can't believe ubuntu is so fragile
[06:03] <crimsun> mike01: no, we need to check other apps' settings.
[06:03] <Pelo> johntheunique,  ubuntu isnT' fragil,  automatix is that bad
[06:03] <mike01> like what?
[06:03] <Flannel> johntheunique: It's not fragile.  You just broke serious things.
[06:03] <johntheunique> something like this happened to me like a week after my initial install
[06:03] <dawn_chorus> ajmorris_, you could use fdisk. fdisk --help
[06:03] <crimsun> mike01: first, for xmms's alsa output plugin preferences, what is the virtual device selected? Make sure it's 'default', not 'hw:*'
[06:03] <mike01> xmms is using alsa output plugin with audio device hw:0,0
[06:03] <mike01> and it works
[06:03] <Flannel> johntheunique: If you took any OS, and deleted/broke/whatever the right things, they'd cease to work
[06:03] <johntheunique> i didn't have to redo much to get my system to where it is now though
[06:03] <crimsun> mike01: that's the precise problem.
[06:03] <ajmorris_> dawn_chorus, thanks
[06:03] <dawn_chorus> ajmorris_, ur welcome.
[06:03] <johntheunique> Flannel: i guess i'm just used to more robustness with gentoo
[06:04] <johntheunique> i tend to push things
[06:04] <mike01> i set it to default and i dont get any sound
[06:04] <mike01> it says there is a problem with my soundcard
[06:04] <crimsun> mike01: did you restart xmms?
[06:04] <mdious> rm -rf / chmod 777 / - doesn't make linux fragile lol
[06:04] <Flannel> johntheunique: gentoo is the same way.  If you break the right things, your system won't be happy
[06:04] <johntheunique> ubuntu makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot very quickly
[06:04] <kraut> moin
[06:04] <mike01> it works!!!!!!!!!!
[06:04] <johntheunique> Flannel: never had much problem recovering though
[06:04] <johntheunique> with gentoo that is
[06:04] <Alysum> hello, what GUI tool do I need to resize hard disks partitions pls ?
[06:04] <dawn_chorus> johntheunique, this is a support forum, cat.  Move along.
[06:04] <mike01> system sounds dont work though
[06:04] <Pelo> johntheunique, automatix is not part of ubuntu that's the thing
[06:04] <Flannel> johntheunique: Linux assumes you know what you're doing.
[06:04] <dezine> I've used a lot of other distributions and Ubuntu seems the mose noob safe
[06:04] <johntheunique> i never had to do a system reinstall in 2 years
[06:04] <Alysum> like the one we use when we install ubuntu
[06:04] <dezine> most*
[06:04] <crimsun> mike01: log out and back in to GNOME.
[06:04] <mdious> it's amazing what actually breaks when you chmod 777 / ... :(
[06:04] <johntheunique> and i tweaked on it a lot
[06:05] <mike01> ok will do, thank-
[06:05] <mike01> thanks
[06:05] <ajmorris_> dawn_chorus, what is the fdisk paramater for formatting?
[06:05] <juliusspencer> hi... anyone know how to check the version of a pci slot from within linux?
[06:05] <Flannel> johntheunique: You *could* fix it.  But really it'll be easier to just reinstall
[06:05] <crimsun> ajmorris_: if you mean "create a filesystem", fdisk is neither responsible nor capable of that.
[06:05] <mdious> juliusspencer:  could 'lspci' do it?
[06:05] <mike01> sounds work, thanks
[06:06] <crimsun> mike01: np
[06:06] <johntheunique> Flannel: how hard is it?
[06:06] <mike01> however now my 2nd lcd is all screwed up with beryl
[06:06] <juliusspencer> I tried that and another one dmidecode... no luck
[06:06] <johntheunique> Flannel: to fix without a reinstall
[06:06] <ajmorris_> crimsun, i want to re-format an NTFS external hard disk, is fdisk capable of that?
[06:06] <Pelo> g'night folks
[06:06] <avis> i am not getting a window border on my xorg windows
[06:06] <johntheunique> can't i just download some tar files and fix it by hand?
[06:06] <juliusspencer> mdious, or I couldn't interpret the reulsts....
[06:06] <mike01> how do i make beryl-manager load on startup in kubuntu?
[06:06] <mike01> i know how to get it to work in gnome, but not sure in kde
[06:07] <crimsun> ajmorris_: it's capable of deleting your NTFS partition and creating a blank, uninitialised/unformatted/unuseful Linux partition or free space or swap space, sure
[06:07] <johntheunique> linux needs a rollback system
[06:07] <Jordan_U> ajmorris_, No linux program can create an NTFS file system, you can use mkfs to put something else in it's place though
[06:07] <Flannel> johntheunique: well, We don't know what automatix broke, so we'd never be certain we've fixed everything.  But it'd require a live environment and a compiler, then just replace broken stuff with non broken stuff until you have working dpkg again, then reinstall whatever you feel like with dpkg.
[06:07] <ajmorris_> crimsun, what is the command to do this?
[06:07] <insomniac190> can anyone tell me if i should change my kernel?
[06:07] <ajmorris_> Jordan_U, look at ntfsprogs ;)
[06:07] <crimsun> ajmorris_: what does "this" refer to?
[06:07] <mdious> juliusspencer:  what do you mean by version?
[06:07] <crimsun> insomniac190: is anything not working currently?
[06:07] <dawn_chorus> crimsun, fdisk can do it all.
[06:07] <null__> insomniac190: why would you want to?
[06:07] <johntheunique> Flannel: hmmm, i'm going to look into it
[06:08] <ajmorris_> crimsun, deleting the NTFS partition
[06:08] <johntheunique> it sure beats a reinstall
[06:08] <Clarrisa_2008> I'm using ubuntu 6.06.1 and I can't get mCrypt to be seen by php, even though I installed it with apt-get.  My php version is 5.1.2   how can I get mcrypt to work?
[06:08] <Flannel> johntheunique: *really* it's easier to reinstall, get rid of your macho "I havent reinstalled in X" and go the easy way.
[06:08] <Jordan_U> ajmorris_, Really, ntfsprogs can create and NTFS file system, I thought it could only resize one?
[06:08] <crimsun> dawn_chorus: what does "all" entail?
[06:08] <johntheunique> Flannel: that's such a windows way of handling things
[06:08] <crimsun> ajmorris_: I recommend you use cfdisk if you want to do that.
[06:09] <ajmorris_> Jordan_U, mkntfs ;)
[06:09] <Fivetwentysix> How do I make azureus run by default by clicking torrent files?
[06:09] <johntheunique> Flannel: i think i've been in the linux world long enough to fix things when they break
[06:09] <insomniac190> cirmsun, null_: i heard the default kernel is designed for pentium II processors, didnt know if i could utilize more of my processor
[06:09] <Flannel> johntheunique: no, its not.  It's the smart "I dont know whats broken" sort of way.
[06:09] <ajmorris_> crimsun, kk thanks, will do
[06:09] <juliusspencer> mdious, apparently there are different versions of PCI like version 1 and 2 and 2.2.,.. I'm not sure on the specs, but I have a digium/asterisk card and it needs 2.2. The card doesn't show up in the lspci listing yet the kernel requirements are like 2.2 or 2.4 so no worries there!
[06:09] <dezine> thanks for the help
[06:09] <Clarrisa_2008> I'm using ubuntu 6.06.1 and I can't get mCrypt to be seen by php, even though I installed it with apt-get.  My php version is 5.1.2   how can I get mcrypt to work?
[06:09] <crimsun> insomniac190: it requires a 586 (Pentium-class) CPU but runs on anything newer.
[06:09] <dr_willis> Fivetwentysix,  you mean from within firefox? or the desktop?
[06:09] <Flannel> johntheunique: You have *no* idea what all automatix broke (and neither do we), so you'll *never* be certain that everythign is fixed.  WEll, without reinstalling every single package.  Which, lo and behold, is reinstalling.
[06:09] <mlocker> hi
[06:09] <juliusspencer> mdious, so while I have found the specs for my motherboard are sifficient in a doc online, I want to see what the OS thinks
[06:09] <johntheunique> Flannel: if i reinstall i loose all the programs i have installed
[06:09] <johntheunique> Flannel: i don't even know all of them
[06:10] <Flannel> johntheunique: dpkg -L
[06:10] <mdious> juluisspencer:  ah I follow now...have you had a look in your kernel to see if version 2 of pci and that is enabled?
[06:10] <johntheunique> Flannel: all i have to do is get apt working again
[06:10] <insomniac190> crimsun: okay, i just wanted to make sure the kernel i was using wasnt holding back my processor.  thanks
[06:10] <johntheunique> everything should smooth out after that
[06:10] <vbabiy> hey guys what is the best way to install a dhcp and dns server for my network on ubuntu
[06:10] <Fivetwentysix> Fivetwentysix: Anywhere.
[06:10] <null__> vbabiy: #ubuntu
[06:10] <Fivetwentysix> I want it so that whenever I open a torrent file it'll run in Azureus
[06:11] <vbabiy> null__ ?
[06:11] <juliusspencer> mdious, I'm not sure... I'm using a standard distro kernel... uh... I have ubuntu on my laptop, but not on this particulr computer
[06:11] <null__> vbabiy: that question is better suited for the channel #ubuntu, not the channel #linux that you currently are in
[06:11] <mdious> juliusspencer:  perhaps it's not just in there...will have a look and see if i can find where it would be
[06:11] <juliusspencer> mdious, it should make no diff though...
[06:11] <Flannel> johntheunique: that'll fix *this* problem.    You dont know how many others.  But anyway, goodluck.  And stay away from automatix.  Oh, and don't really plan on dist-upgrading either.    Which is the worst thing for everyone.
[06:13] <machetero> anybody had the same problem here?
[06:13] <johntheunique> Flannel: i wonder why it's so finicky
[06:14] <juliusspencer> mdious, thanks for the tip all the same.
[06:14] <Jordan_U> johntheunique, Because if it weren't it would be in Ubuntu already :)
[06:14] <Flannel> johntheunique: because it does stupid things that the creator refuses to acknowledge are bad.
[06:14] <mdious> juliusspencer:  does cat /proc/pci bring anything up?
[06:15] <juliusspencer> no
[06:15] <juliusspencer> (I think)
[06:15] <Flannel> johntheunique: anyway, this automatix discussion is offtopic.  If youd like to continue with it, a bunch of us ar in #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:15] <juliusspencer> mdious, I think I tried that
[06:15] <Jordan_U> juliusspencer, cat /proc/pci ?
[06:16] <boubbin> how to get the latest kde (3.5.7) ?
[06:16] <Flannel> boubbin: #kubuntu can help you there, I believe.
[06:17] <boubbin> nice, thanks
[06:17] <darrell> I want to place a bookmarks folder in a panel.  How can I do that
