[09:56] <Asc> ||bas1: I'm not answering your question because I've not heard of any such players.
[09:56] <BigToe> hurts for a few mins, but after about 15 mins you'll notice the different :P
[09:56] <Enselic> I have a laptop and an external monitor. How can I configure X for dual display?
[09:56] <Azeqss> juano__, nothing happens
[09:56] <BigToe> What do I install for Iagno/Reversi to be able to host games?
[09:56] <juano__> Azeqss: no file there
[09:56] <gaspipe1> BigToe: took forever to find the right forum link
[09:56] <up365> DiOXiN: try this link http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 this  worked for my SBLive
[09:57] <||bas1> unless a blu-ray drive can just be read as a generic block device in which case i'm fine
[09:57] <juano__> Azeqss: mm ok, lets see what else it could be
[09:57] <BigToe> lol gaspipe1
[09:57] <DiOXiN> up365: thanx I'll try
[09:57] <||bas1> i dont care about the content protection at all
[09:57] <Asc> mjr: the library isn't even in repos.  I had to get it from a random web site.
[09:57] <Azeqss> juano__, no error message or something; just again ubuntu@ubuntu
[09:57] <gaspipe1> BigToe: just hope my video driver is up to date
[09:57] <juano__> Azeqss: yea
[09:57] <||bas1> circumventing the content protection would totally negate the point of my study
[09:57] <juano__> Azeqss: if you could pastebin me your sudo fdisk -l it would be good
[09:57] <nexous> I have cd issues on my laptop, how else could I go about setting 6.10 up on it.
[09:57] <dwid> how do  i end a program thats not responding, like ctrl al del in windows?
[09:57] <Asc> mjr: Well, I got it from VLC's repositories, but it's the principle of the thing.
[09:57] <Stormx2> ||bas1: Alright already, we see the point.   LZ rocks.
[09:58] <BigToe> dwid, click the X at the top right
[09:58] <||bas1> i did plenty googling
[09:58] <||bas1> if that's all you can offer dont bother
[09:58] <siikah> zenmonk, no man, I can't find it either. that wierd. seems like you'll have to copy-paste into openoffce draw and rotate it and then go back... :-\
[09:58] <NeoMatrixJR24> ||bas1, I don't know if this will help you but there is a slim possibility that the HD-DVD drive for the xbox 360 may work with linux
[09:58] <BigToe> after a few seconds it will bring up a dialog
[09:58] <Azeqss> juano__, and how would i do that :s
[09:58] <BigToe> saying it's frozen, then click force quit
[09:58] <Randomtime> NeoMatrix:What format can I save it as so it can be read in text format on windows?
[09:58] <NeoMatrixJR24> ||bas1 let me check something
[09:58] <EdgEy> /media/cdrom0 does not exist
[09:58] <juano__> Azeqss: :P , dunno, no internet via livecd on other comp _
[09:58] <dwid> bigtoe: that wont work
[09:58] <Detonix_> if i do glxgears i dont get the info
[09:58] <tlanfer> "X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting." How can i change this?
[09:58] <BigToe> dwid, gnome-system-manager then I think
[09:58] <juano__> Azeqss: or LAN share from that comp to this one >
[09:59] <BigToe> type that in terminal
[09:59] <BigToe> find the app, right click and click kill
[09:59] <NeoMatrixJR24> Randomtime if you: cat dmesg > some_file.rtf and take it to windows, MS word should open it properly
[09:59] <Randomtime> NeoMatrix: ok
[09:59] <dwid> how do i get to gnome system manager
[09:59] <Rochvellon> i want to sync a directory with another dir. both dirs are mounted to th local filesystem. but i get an error using rsync /dir1 /dir2: skipping /dir1
[09:59] <juano__> Azeqss: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/myhdd /dev/hdb    that should work fine
[09:59] <Rochvellon> whats wrong?
[09:59] <gaspipe1> right now i'm using thunderbird for email (b/c thats what i used in xp) anyone recommend a better email program or is that the best?
[09:59] <dawntreader> zenmonk, format from menu bar, character, position tab and rotation. This is in OO v2
[09:59] <Azeqss> juano__, i don't now hod to do that :p but oh yeah, i'll use a memorysec, hold on

[10:02] <EdgEy> is it actually possible to unmount the live cd and mount something else without bringing it all down
[10:02] <toyo|lappy> it says it cant find the package
[10:02] <EdgEy> i'm stuck with a nonworking system atm
[10:02] <facefaceface> I don't know what killed it - it was perfect - some dbus issue?

[10:03] <Commander-Crowe> do I have to install iptables?
[10:03] <DC_ubuntu> Hi, can anyone point me in the right direction to find a driver for a Hitachi Travelstar 100 GB drive?

[10:03] <Commander-Crowe> none of the commands work
[10:03] <toyo|lappy> not the os

[10:04] <juano__> Azeqss: LOL
[10:04] <juano__> Azeqss: did you mount it
[10:04] <Stormx2> toyo|lappy: Is there a specific issue or do you just not know how to use it?
[10:04] <juano__> Azeqss: if you get a prompt select open in new window
[10:04] <juano__> Azeqss: that should mount it
[10:04] <Randomtime> NeoMatrix: I do know about pastebin, it may just take a little longer because The floppy's not mounting properly
[10:04] <zenmonk> dawntreader: I look under Format\Object\Position and Size and it is greyed out

[10:07] <mikeo1> The underlying authorization mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program. Contact the system administrator.
[10:07] <juano__> kps_: /dev/hda is your first IDE hard disk
[10:07] <Stormx2> mikeo1: Don't paste.
[10:07] <juano__> kps_: which grub refers to as hd0
[10:07] <Stormx2> Commander-Crowe: Share your connection?
[10:07] <Stormx2> Commander-Crowe: Meaning?
[10:07] <kps_> there is a normal ide disk and a sata disk
[10:07] <Triumph|TK> u missed my question!
[10:08] <kps_> the normal disk is /dev/hda, the sata disk /dev/sda
[10:08] <Azeqss> juano__,  yes, the icon is between the others
[10:08] <kps_> but what are they in grub

[10:14] <Azeqss> juano__, pfft, this is really odd
[10:14] <alex_mayorga> kps_: pres e while in grub to edit the commands
[10:14] <juano__> Azeqss: restart your live cd
[10:14] <manaf123> Stormx2: actuly u can, i just did it, but now its not working
[10:14] <kps_> it says "Error 27: Unrecognized command"
[10:14] <juano__> quaal: worked now ?
[10:14] <bonez> whats a good virus scanner for ubuntu
[10:14] <Stormx2> manaf123: Why? So you can run 2 different DEs at once?
[10:14] <facefaceface> dang... "apt-get update" is failing
[10:14] <facefaceface> W: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[10:14] <NeoMatrixJR24> Randomtime: wow...there's so many floppy errors that you're USB errors have been wiped off the file.  Are you haveing trouble with ALL USB devices or just drives, etc? (also, please respong w/ my full name in the message. my client will alert me to your response that way)
[10:14] <quaal> juano__,  yes thanks.. just going through license agreement
[10:14] <Stormx2> bonez: Unless you're getting user uploads etc, you don't need to worry about viruses
[10:14] <juano__> quaal: i believe if that doesnt work, you will have to activate the root account
[10:14] <Azeqss> juano__, oke, and what to click ? start or install ubunto || or || safe graphic settings
[10:14] <Asc> manaf123: try doing 'gdmflexisserver' from in the running X session instead of startx.
[10:14] <juano__> quaal: ahh ok
[10:15] <juano__> quaal: great nevermind last message
[10:15] <facefaceface> ug.. dhcp is a pain
[10:15] <manaf123> Asc: k,
[10:15] <juano__> Azeqss: start or install ubuntu
[10:15] <Randomtime> NeoMatrixJR24: It's all usb devices, drives, mice etc
[10:15] <quaal> juano__, is there a faster way to get through the license agreement than entering through
[10:15] <quaal> line by line
[10:15] <manaf123> Asc: didnt work :
[10:15] <facefaceface> sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[10:15] <kps_> the could have some list or ls or something which would show the devices
[10:15] <juano__> quaal: backspace maybe
[10:15] <Stormx2> quaal: No.
[10:15] <sdac221x_> when my battery goes low i get a loud annoying beep, which is particularly ear damaging when i have earphones connected.  how can i change this annoying sound ?  thanks
[10:15] <juano__> quaal: or pagedown
[10:15] <NeoMatrixJR24> Randomtime: did it work before, or has it never worked?
[10:16] <Asc> manaf123: funky.  Change anything recently?
[10:16] <mrti1> Any way to add 32 bit apt repositories to a 64 aptitude to install 32 bit apps as well as 32 bit ones?
[10:16] <alex_mayorga> kps_: give http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org a whirl
[10:16] <Stormx2> sdac221x_: System > Preferences > Sounds
[10:16] <toyo|lappy> Stormx2, do you happen to know the URL in the wiki that tells how to enable universe
[10:16] <sdac221x_> im in xubuntu edgy
[10:16] <Stormx2> !universe
[10:16] <ubotu> 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
[10:16] <NeoMatrixJR24> decherdtt: I don't think it's using a generic ide. dmesg indicates PDC202XX
[10:16] <bonez> if someone is not busy I could use some help
[10:16] <Stormx2> toyo|lappy: Check out that link.
[10:16] <EdgEy> ok, i managed to unmount /cdrom
[10:16] <toyo|lappy> ok
[10:16] <Randomtime> NeoMartixJR24: It's worked on windows and breefly on another virsion of Linux that I was about to install but chose Ubuntu instead, it hasn't worked on knoppix or ubuntu
[10:16] <toyo|lappy> :D
[10:17] <manaf123> Asc: i jsut installed beryl but for some reason i keep on getting a white screen whenever i start beryl, i dont know what to do, so i wanna show the guys at #beryl the error msg,
[10:17] <kps_> alex_mayorga, i already have grub on my master boot record, i just don't know what the devices are called in grub
[10:17] <NeoMatrixJR24> Randomtime: what type of computer are you using? and which version of ubuntu?
[10:17] <Stormx2> bonez: Ask your question.
[10:17] <wireful9001> that didn't work
[10:17] <EdgEy> and then mount -o loop ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso /cdrom
[10:17] <alex_mayorga> kps_: do you see a list of OS's in grub?
[10:17] <EdgEy> seems to mount, but the cdrom still spins up when it's used. it doesn't use the image.
[10:18] <facefaceface> any chan for networkmanager?
[10:18] <bonez> I installed bit defender but its not in my applications
[10:18] <kps_> alex_mayorga, well there are in the menu.lst some linux boot options
[10:18] <Stormx2> EdgEy: Do you not have a GUI?
[10:18] <juano__> EdgEy: you want to mount an iso ?
[10:18] <bonez> im very new to ubuntu
[10:18] <kps_> there /dev/sda1 is called (hd0,0)
[10:18] <kps_> but i'd like to know what /dev/hda is
[10:18] <kps_> or /dev/hda1
[10:18] <EdgEy> i need to unmount the bootable ubuntu cd and mount the image on my hdd in its place, since my cd is corrupt and i have no way of reburning it
[10:18] <Stormx2> bonez: Crack open a terminal and run "bitdefender" or whatever.
[10:19] <EdgEy> i'm running from the bootable cd now
[10:19] <Randomtime> NeoMatrixJR24: ubuntu 6.06, I'm using a time PC that came out in the early days of XP, I can't remember the accual model number and I can't find it on the computer
[10:19] <kps_> i can see whether it likes (hd1,0)
[10:19] <bonez> do i even need a virus scanner
[10:19] <juano__> kps_: i believe /dev/hda is hd0 and /dev/hda1 is hd0,1  , at least on mine its called like that
[10:19] <Asc> manaf123: Is beryl running while you're trying to start a new X session?
[10:19] <Randomtime> NeoMatrixJR24: I have 4 USB ports and none work
[10:19] <Stormx2> juano__: No
[10:19] <juano__> Stormx2: ?
[10:19] <Stormx2> juano__: Wait, yes.
[10:19] <EdgEy> Stormx2: i have a GUI yes gnome is running
[10:19] <Stormx2> juano__: haha sorry, misread.
[10:19] <bonez> cmd not found
[10:19] <manaf123> Asc: no its not, im trying to start beryl on that new x session with the screen command to capture the error msg
[10:20] <juano__> Stormx2: heheh lol, this happened to me 2 times today with someone else
[10:20] <alex_mayorga> kps_: on the OS selection of grub you can press e to edit the options, move to one of the hd places and press tab there it would tell you what it knows
[10:20] <Stormx2> EdgEy: You way want to use k3b, that is a very good burniner.
[10:20] <facefaceface> dang - purged reinstall and network manager is still broke...
[10:20] <dawntreader> zenmonk, I think you are out of luck - looks like you will have to manipulate first and then bring into OO
[10:20] <morrolan> Is there a way to manage multiple wifi connections in Gnome?  I don't want to have to keep changing WEP keys!
[10:20] <EdgEy> Stormx2: i don't think i can use it since i only have one dvd-rom drive
[10:20] <EdgEy> and the bootable cd is running from that
[10:20] <NeoMatrixJR24> Randomtime: do you know what type of chipset it has controling the USB? (VIA, INTEL, etc)  or if there's any way you can restart the system and get me a fresh dmesg w/o all the floppy errs I can help.  I think ububtu just doesn't recognize your usb
[10:20] <facefaceface> morrolan, yup, a nice tool called network manager
[10:20] <Gabby_Hayes> Howdy
[10:20] <gpm> hey all, what do you guys do with empty ink cartridges?
[10:20] <Randomtime> NeoMatrixJR24: Ok i'll reboot
[10:21] <juano__> bonez: no virus in linux lol... really
[10:21] <Stormx2> bonez: Open up synaptic. Find your bitdefender package. Right click > properties. Go to installed files. Go thru the files until you see one with "bin" in the name, and run the big after the final slash
[10:21] <facefaceface> gpm, say 'hello empty ink cartridge'
[10:21] <Gabby_Hayes> gpm there are recycling places
[10:21] <Asc> manaf123: Okay.  I have no experience whatsoever with beryl, but if there's an error it should be in a log somewhere.
[10:21] <Stormx2> s/big/bit/g
[10:21] <juano__> bonez: almost none lol
[10:21] <EdgEy> rm 'empty ink cartridge'
[10:21] <up365> gpm: they make great targets for .22
[10:21] <bonez> k kool i wont worry about it then
[10:21] <Azeqss> juano__, allright, restarted
[10:21] <juano__> Azeqss: ok, your in ?
[10:21] <bonez> thank you
[10:21] <morrolan> facefaceface - I installed Network-Manager-Gnome, and nm-applet has started and shows in "Sessions", but it didn't actually start or appear on my panel?
[10:21] <gpm> up365: nice
[10:21] <alex_mayorga> any bluetooth channel??
[10:22] <manaf123> Asc: yeah i cant find that, i just wanna start a new x session to record that error
[10:22] <mikeo1> how do i change the default sound device used ubuntu
[10:22] <mikeo1> it is using the wrong device
[10:22] <facefaceface> morrolan networkmanager-gnome?
[10:22] <Asc> manaf123: If I had to guess, I'd say that you can't run beryl and other sessions at the same time... I hear you can't run fullscreen games in beryl either.
[10:22] <Azeqss> juano__, yep
[10:22] <juano__> Azeqss: sudo mkdir /mnt/myhdd
[10:22] <Stormx2> mikeo1: Sound device? You have multiple soundcards?
[10:22] <mikeo1> yes
[10:22] <facefaceface> alex_mayorga #bluetooth?
[10:22] <exwhyzed> I installed madwifi through the pacakage manager, but my wireless card is still not recognized. can anyone help?
[10:22] <Asc> manaf123: tried /ver/log/Xorg.0.log?
[10:22] <juano__> Azeqss: sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/myhdd
[10:22] <Asc> */var
[10:22] <up365> gpm: seriously never had any luck with refilled so I just buy new
[10:22] <mikeo1> if i manually set it in xmms it works but for all the system sounds it doesnt
[10:22] <Cybercop> can anyone point me to a how to on making samba work on 6.10 so i can resolve hostnames using nbns? google is kinda letting me down
[10:22] <EdgEy> cdrecord gives me the error: Error trying to open /dev/cdrw exclusively
[10:22] <kps_> alex_mayorga, juano__ it seems like /dev/sda1 is (hd0,0) and /dev/hda is (hd1,0)
[10:23] <Randomtime> NeoMatrixJR24: BIOS says onchip USB controler, I'm rebooting
[10:23] <kps_> thanks for the help, this should work now
[10:23] <morrolan> facefaceface - yeah
[10:23] <juano__> kps_: could be, if SATA is on 1
[10:23] <facefaceface> morrolan, working?
[10:23] <juano__> kps_: on SATA 1 i mean
[10:23] <Stormx2> mikeo1: You're using alsa yeah? Check the documentation
[10:23] <mikeo1> Stormx2: if i manually set it in xmms it works but for all the system sounds it doesnt
[10:23] <toyo|lappy> heh thanks Stormx2 that was pretty easy
[10:23] <toyo|lappy> :D
[10:23] <mikeo1> yeah whatever is default for ubuntu
[10:23] <kps_> juano__, well it boots linux from that, so i know it is right
[10:23] <mikeo1> alsa
[10:23] <Stormx2> toyo|lappy: Got it installed now?
[10:23] <toyo|lappy> yep
[10:23] <toyo|lappy> :D
[10:24] <Stormx2> Good stuff, well done
[10:24] <kps_> leaving, thanks
[10:24] <morrolan> facefaceface - I can't tell, nothing has appeared on my panel, only in sessions where "nm-applet" shows.  My wifi is working though.
[10:24] <juano__> Azeqss: after the above 2 commands, do this>    sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/myhdd /dev/hdb
[10:24] <Cybercop> the ubuntu box can see the windows boxes if i use ip, but not if i use host name. wireshark shows that windows boxes are using nbns to do it, but ubuntu only tries dns?
[10:24] <morrolan> facefaceface - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4019/  that is the pastebin of the results of apt
[10:24] <faceface> morrolan, to be honest I don't know how to get it in the pannel
[10:25] <faceface> I just re-installed it for my own reasons, and it dutifully dissapeared and reappeared
[10:25] <toyo|lappy> running 2 instances of ubuntu server inside of gentoo with vmware
[10:25] <toyo|lappy> :D
[10:25] <morrolan> faceface - how do I manage it then?  I think Network-Manager-Gnome is the front-end for Network-Manager
[10:25] <Stormx2> toyo|lappy: Haha, why?!
[10:25] <faceface> morrolan, try networkmanager-applet
[10:25] <unop> Cybercop,  NetBIOS is a windows specific thing, *nix boxes dont tend to use it unless they have samba (winbind) running
[10:26] <Azeqss> juano__,  f**, get error stage 1 not read
[10:26] <faceface> morrolan, also you may check the manual to see if it does what you need
[10:26] <blackduck3> When I turn on my Powerbook G4 laptop running the Ubuntu operating system, how do I automatically connect to the internet and hold the connection for as long as I am using the laptop. As it is I have to open the Wireless Assistant LAN manager and double click it to tell it to connect, and then once I am on the connection drops out if I am not using my web browser.
[10:26] <toyo|lappy> Stormx2, setting up a virtual network
[10:26] <toyo|lappy> :D
[10:26] <toyo|lappy> test bed
[10:26] <Stormx2> toyo|lappy: Whatever floats your boat I guess...
[10:26] <toyo|lappy> :)
[10:26] <Cybercop> unop, thank you. so i just need winbind.
[10:26] <juano__> Azeqss: please check that the command is well typed, ------> 2 dashes before root  --root-directory
[10:26] <Azeqss> yup
[10:26] <unop> Cybercop,  well, you probably also need the other samba services winbind depends on
[10:27] <fatbrain> Where's msttcorefonts package?
[10:27] <morrolan> faceface - in "Sessions", it shows "nm-applet -sm-disable"
[10:27] <bonez> Stormx2 no bin in any of the files
[10:27] <unop> Cybercop,  in otherwords -- you need samba
[10:27] <juano__> Azeqss: ls -a /mnt/myhdd/boot/grub | grep stage
[10:27] <Cybercop> unop, ok, looking it up. that helps a lot
[10:27] <Stormx2> bonez: Really?
[10:27] <faceface> morrolan, I can't really help - I need to restart X ... l8r
[10:27] <Stormx2> bonez: What is it, a bittorrent client? Use azureus...
[10:27] <blackduck3> can anyone help me please ?
[10:27] <bonez> unless im doing something wrong
[10:27] <Enselic> Where can I find documentation of Option MonitorLayout for xorg.conf?
[10:28] <mothas_> Anybody have problems booting with edgy & software raid?
[10:28] <dawntreader> fatbrain, try www.ubuntuguide.org
[10:28] <Stormx2> blackduck3: That sounds odd, firefox keeps your internet connection alive?
[10:28] <Azeqss> juano__, there are 8 things in a list
[10:28] <bonez> Stormx2 its an antivirus.....but I was told not even to worry about a antivirus
[10:28] <blackduck3> It is like it times out
[10:28] <juano__> Azeqss: ls -a /mnt/myhdd/boot/grub | grep stage1
[10:29] <Yodude> hey why don'yt i see my partitions icons in Places-Computer when using Edgy?
[10:29] <Stormx2> bonez: Well if you're not accepting user uploads then don't.
[10:29] <quaal> hey juano__  i did ./javabin from my desktop, now i have a jre1.5.0_10 directory on the destktop. is that just the install folder or is that where java was installed ?
[10:29] <bonez> k kool
[10:29] <Enselic> blackduck3: have you tried setting it in SYstem -> dministration -> networking=
[10:29] <Stormx2> Yodude: Are they mounted?
[10:29] <bonez> stormx2 kool tks
[10:29] <Yodude> yes i found out how to mount them on Edgy
[10:29] <Enselic> Does anyone know where XFree86 is documented?
[10:29] <juano__> quaal: probably where it installed, did you specify dir ?
[10:29] <fatbrain> dawntreader, "Package msttcorefonts is not available, but is referred to by another package." when I do as it sais in the guide
[10:29] <quaal> no i didnt
[10:29] <quaal> goofed
[10:29] <Azeqss> juano__, the same list without stage2
[10:29] <quaal> where is it supposed to go ?
[10:30] <fatbrain> dawntreader, I have both multiverse and universe enabled
[10:30] <Randomtime> NeoMatrixJR24: http://www.pastebin.ca/339118
[10:30] <Yodude> so?
[10:30] <juano__> quaal: well the thing is you installed it as user, i was gonna tell you to install it as root , but since sudo didnt do the trick maybe activating the root account would
[10:31] <Stormx2> Yodude: GNOME may not have updated yet then
[10:31] <Stormx2> Yodude: When I mount stuff GNOME doesn't notice.
[10:31] <Yodude> i'm on LiveCD not installation
[10:31] <quaal> juano__, i did su root
[10:31] <juano__> quaal: but i dont think there is a problem with that dir being there
[10:31] <quaal> and put in root password
[10:31] <denardo> !pilot
[10:31] <Stormx2> Yodude: Right
[10:31] <Randomtime> yodude: install
[10:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pilot - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:31] <juano__> quaal: you logged in as root now ?
[10:31] <Stormx2> Yodude: If you need to access them just go to where you mounted them
[10:31] <quaal> juano__,  not in gnome as root
[10:32] <Ricket> [6.10]  I set up a shared folder with the Shared Folder program under the Administration section of the menus. However I can't access it with my Windows computer - it asks for username and password, and nothing works. How do I manage the users of shared folders?
[10:32] <quaal> just in the terminal i did that before doing the ./
[10:32] <juano__> quaal: no, from terminal i mean
[10:32] <juano__> quaal: ok good, so you installed it as root
[10:32] <mikeo1> hmmm my sound got all screwed up after i installed amarok
[10:32] <lufis> Can I dist-upgrade to Feisty before the official release? I'm hungry for some beta
[10:32] <mikeo1> i bet it messed it up
[10:32] <quaal> so do i just copy this jre directory somewhere (where it should be)
[10:32] <unperson> I have an installation script for a piece of software.  When i try to run it with 'sudo ./MathInstaller' I get "bash: ./MathInstaller: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied"
[10:32] <Yodude> but in dapper when i used to go to Places-Computer i used to see them? why don't i in Edgy? theis is a step backward in the developpeent of ubuntu you know
[10:32] <quaal> kind of ugly on the destkop
[10:32] <juano__> quaal: lol, what you got in that dir ?
[10:32] <Randomtime> NeoMatrixJR24: http://www.pastebin.ca/339118
[10:32] <juano__> quaal: everything ?
[10:32] <unperson> Doh!
[10:32] <quaal> juano__,  bin, javaws, lib, man, plugin
[10:33] <denardo> Hi, folks. I'm trying to use a Sony Clie with gnome-pilot. Any have any experience with this?
[10:33] <quaal> juano__, changes, copyright, license, readme, thirdpartylicensereadme
[10:33] <NeoMatrixJR24> Randomtime: got it...checking
[10:33] <Ricket> Can someone do one of those bot commands so that I can get links to information about Ubuntu SMB (shared folders) features?
[10:33] <quaal> juano__,  maybe this is just the install files that the bin extracted ?
[10:33] <denardo> !smb
[10:33] <blackduck3> In my network settings under wireless connection tab - now what do I do?
[10:33] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about smb - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:33] <juano__> quaal: mm yeah , seems to have been put on the desktop, well you can try moving it ... yea
[10:33] <stephen_> what screencapturing device would you guys recomend
[10:33] <dawntreader> fatbrain, I've got more than that and it is coming up in my synaptic
[10:33] <denardo> !samba
[10:33] <Yodude> they should do something about this in 7.04
[10:33] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[10:33] <Ricket> well I shoulda guessed... thanks! :)
[10:33] <juano__> quaal: try a ls -a /usr/lib | grep java
[10:34] <unperson> Sorry,  what I meant to say is that if I do 'sudo ./MathInstaller' I get "sudo: unable to execute ./MathInstaller: Permission denied".  When I use sudo -s first I get "bash: ./MathInstaller: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied".
[10:34] <juano__> quaal: if its in the usr dir thats where it should install
[10:34] <Azeqss> juano__, what now ?
[10:34] <juano__> quaal: globaly, cause you installed as root
[10:34] <juano__> Azeqss: mm... no luck with that
[10:34] <fatbrain> dawntreader, got the .deb from debian repository, so problem solved :-)
[10:34] <blackduck3> Why can't I hold a wireless connection?
[10:34] <juano__> quaal: i believe moving those files wont harm jre installation
[10:34] <unperson> Is it just that the script wants /bin/sh and that doesn't really exist?  Can I fix this easily by changing #! /bin/sh to bash or some other shell or will that likely cause problems?
[10:35] <Enselic> I need to run xorg -configure, but how do I shut down X without it restarting?
[10:35] <quaal> juano__, hmm now i'm getting a su: authentication failure
[10:35] <DiOXiN> I need to install some drivers to my soundcard, it does'nt work! (Sound Blaster Audigy SL) I wrote sudo modprobe snd-audigyls and snd-ca0106 and so on.. but nothing happens!! :((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((8
[10:35] <quaal> i swear it let me in with my password last time
[10:35] <blackduck3> It seems to drop out when I am not browsing
[10:35] <quaal> if i didnt activate root as you said i'll have to do that first i guess?
[10:35] <Asc> Enselic: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[10:35] <juano__> Azeqss: mm could you pastebin me the exact output of the error when you try the grub-install ??

[10:36] <blackduck3> My internet connection keeps cutting out when I am not using my web browser
[10:36] <esc-> beryl works with gnome (ubuntu) correct?
[10:36] <unop> unperson,  in most cases /bin/sh and /bin/bash are interchangeable because they are closely related .. but there are certain specifics to bash that dont apply to sh .. so it's a matter of try-and-see
[10:37] <blackduck3> What can I do to fix it?
[10:37] <Azeqss> juano__, Grub loading stage 1.5 (next line) GRUB loading, please wait... (nl) error 21
[10:37] <tsmithe> DiOXiN, pm
[10:37] <unperson> unop, Ok.  I guess I'll give it a try.  Mainly I was wondering if there was some special shell to use for closest compatibility with sh.
[10:37] <juano__> Azeqss: are you putting these commands in ubuntu@ubuntu  ?? right ?
[10:37] <blackduck3> wireless - internet - dropping out - why????
[10:37] <DiOXiN> ubotu: I tried all that but I know whats wrong! I need drivers, and I know which drivers but I cannot install them. The links can't help me!
[10:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about i tried all that but i know whats wrong! i need drivers, and i know which drivers but i cannot install them. the links can't help me! - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:38] <Azeqss> juano__, yes
[10:38] <tsmithe> DiOXiN, ubotu is a bot
[10:38] <sacater> how do i integrate xfce into ubuntu

[10:38] <siikah> does anyone know of a way to make a certain app (i.e. mp3 player) have a different sound volume? It'd be nice to have the mp3player to have a lower volume than other apps (like im and such). this to be able to play music while "alerts" be noticable
[10:38] <tsmithe> sacater, sudo apt-get install xfce4 (or for xubuntu, xubuntu-desktop)
[10:38] <juano__> Azeqss: i meant the error when you run sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/myhdd /dev/hdb
[10:39] <unop> unperson,  bash is derived from sh .. sh is/wass the "bourne" shell while bash is the "bourne again" shell
[10:39] <blackduck3> Why is my wireless internet connection cutting out
[10:39] <morrolan> Can anyone please help me get the Network-Manager panel applet running? Network-Manager is running, but the applet isn't?
[10:39] <riotkittie> morrolan: nm-applet < did you execute that?
[10:39] <kiwinz_sucks> morrolan, do you have network-manager-gnome installed?
[10:39] <blackduck3> when i am not browsing
[10:39] <riotkittie> errrr nm
[10:39] <riotkittie> forget i said taht, morrolan
[10:39] <unop> morrolan,  you can always terminate the running process
[10:39] <Azeqss> juano__, file / / / / /stage2 not read correctly
[10:39] <morrolan> kiwinz_sucks - yes I do have it installed.
[10:39] <quaal> juano__, thank you
[10:39] <sacater> tsmi the: and how do i use it
[10:39] <Azeqss> juano__, between the / root and mnt and something like that
[10:40] <sacater> tsmithe: and how do i use it
[10:40] <axa-axa> Hello. I've installed Beryl, and I've put `beryl` and `bery-manager` into gnome's startup list, but how should I start Xgl (xserver-xgl) which I've also installed?
[10:40] <NeoMatrixJR24> Randomtime: I don't see anything dealing with loading a USB driver (host controller).  It's possible that your USB is damaged, or not recognized by ubuntu.
[10:40] <kiwinz_sucks> i know the applet has been buggy for some people
[10:40] <morrolan> riotkittie - nm-applet is running, and in Sessions it appears as "nm-applet --sm-disable"
[10:40] <tsmithe> sacater, err
[10:40] <blackduck3> I guess no one is going to help me in here
[10:40] <tsmithe> by using it?
[10:40] <kiwinz_sucks> do a search, you'll find a number of threads about it
[10:40] <NeoMatrixJR24> Randomtime: You could possibly check with someone else how you might try and recompile your kernel with proper drivers for your system, or add a recognizable usb controller
[10:40] <tsmithe> blackduck3, it's always busy :) perhaps people just don't know
[10:40] <unop> blackduck3,  whats the matter?
[10:40] <juano__> quaal: no prob :-)
[10:40] <blackduck3> My internet connection is dropping out
[10:40] <quaal> juano__,  so now i need to uninstall java ?
[10:41] <blackduck3> wireless
[10:41] <quaal> then reinstall as root ?
[10:41] <sacater> once i have xfce through package manager, how do i use it in ubuntu
[10:41] <blackduck3> when I am not browsing
[10:41] <juano__> quaal: mmm no, i would login as root and run the bin from there
[10:41] <kiwinz_sucks> sacater, when you log in, click on Session
[10:41] <sacater> kk
[10:41] <NeoMatrixJR24> Randomtime: I'm not too clear on rebuilding a ubuntu kernel yet, so I won't be much help there
[10:41] <kiwinz_sucks> and choose XFCE instead of Gnome
[10:41] <blackduck3> is there a setting I need to set?
[10:41] <quaal> ok
[10:41] <quaal> juano__,  and what is the proper place to put java /usr/lib yo usaid ?
[10:41] <DC_ubuntu> can anyone help me find a driver for a hitachi travelstar?
[10:41] <unop> blackduck3,  are you using ndiswrapper and windows drivers?
[10:41] <Azeqss> juano__, i give up, i've been trying now for 7 hours, now booting from windows cd
[10:42] <sacater> kiwinz_sucks: do you know of any problewms that arise when doing this
[10:42] <mikeo1> my user rights got messed up or something...
[10:42] <juano__> Azeqss: lol try this
[10:42] <blackduck3> I am new to Ubuntu
[10:42] <blackduck3> so I am not sure
[10:42] <juano__> Azeqss: overwrite with windows mbr
[10:42] <juano__> Azeqss: then try to reinstall grub like we did
[10:42] <Azeqss> how ?
[10:42] <mikeo1> synopic or add remove programs is no longer available to me when i long on
[10:42] <shadowhywind> Anyone have any idea how to recovery data from an unpartition space that some how managed to get deleted
[10:42] <juano__> Azeqss: boot from windows XP CD now
[10:42] <juano__> Azeqss: select start recovery console
[10:42] <mikeo1> how do i give myself access again?
[10:42] <quaal> juano__, i should run ./jre-1_5_0_10-linux-i586.bin /usr/lib ?
[10:42] <unop> blackduck3,  ok, it's likely you arent, because you would know if you were using ndiswrapper
[10:42] <dawntreader> fatbrain, try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Microsoft%20Fonts
[10:43] <juano__> quaal: no
[10:43] <kiwinz_sucks> nope, XFCE should work fine
[10:43] <juano__> quaal: only ./jre-1_5_0_10-linux-i586.bin
[10:43] <blackduck3> how do I get it?
[10:43] <jenda> Quiz in #ubuntu-trivia in a few minutes! Prize for winner: Ubuntu (K/X/Edu) stickers!
[10:43] <kiwinz_sucks> again, install xubuntu-desktop instead of just xfce, and you'll be better off
[10:43] <quaal> juano__,  ok
[10:43] <elyon225> How would I go about converting a .daa to .iso?
[10:43] <unop> blackduck3,  and you sure this doesnt happen when you are browsing or when the connection is in use?
[10:43] <quaal> juano__, so this is going to put it on the desktop again correct? (the .bin is on the desktop)
[10:43] <mikeo1> is there a system restore for ubuntu?
[10:44] <axa-axa> I've installed Beryl on Ubuntu, and I start it automatically by puting `beryl` and `beryl-manger` into Gnome's autostartup program list, but how should I start Xgl (Xserver-xgl)?
[10:44] <quaal> mikeo1, not that i know of.
[10:44] <mikeo1> cause it was working yesterday and now its all screwed up
[10:44] <sacater> kiwinz_sucks: sacater, when you log in, click on Session
[10:44] <juano__> quaal: it is possible, i would move the bin to another folder first
[10:44] <Yodude> hey another question, when i sign in to MSN in GAIM is suddenly quits! even when using Edgy!
[10:44] <sacater> kiwinz_sucks: do you know of any problems that come from this
[10:44] <juano__> quaal: move it to home dir
[10:44] <blackduck3> When I am not using the web browser that is when it happens, then I have to reconnect or restart the computer. It is like it forgets the IP address.
[10:44] <kiwinz_sucks> i don't know any, no
[10:44] <Azeqss> juano__,  i now have black screen, where i can type like in a console (c:\windows>)
[10:44] <juano__> quaal: users home dir
[10:44] <Yodude> why is that and how can it be fixeD?
[10:44] <quaal> juano__, ok
[10:44] <Enselic``> xorg.conf is killing me. Isn't there a wizard for that file?
[10:45] <kiwinz_sucks> mike01 what did you do that killed your install?
[10:45] <Flannel> Enselic``: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:45] <mikeo1> i rebooted and all my sound cards dissappeared, and i no longer have synoptic or add remove programs available to me
[10:45] <juano__> Azeqss: check pm message
[10:45] <kiwinz_sucks> i've never heard of that before.  there's no ssytem restore, but rebuilding only takes about 35 minutes
[10:45] <kiwinz_sucks> you should make an image of your partition after you install it
[10:45] <mikeo1> then wont i lose everything?
[10:45] <Yodude> help please!
[10:46] <qShadowp> Im looking at this guide for installing Xgl and it says i could just apt get it all, what do i need to type for that?
[10:46] <unop> blackduck3,  errm, well, you have to be sure that it is "forgetting" the ip address -- because it's really no good supposing -- is the wireless card a USB device?
[10:46] <kiwinz_sucks> yes, but you can back up your data
[10:46] <mikeo1> gstreamer was not found
[10:46] <juano__> quaal: after that just run the bin once in the dir as root
[10:46] <kiwinz_sucks> qShadowp, look at ubuntuguide.org and it will walk you through XGL and Beryl
[10:46] <quaal> juano__,  i moved the .bin to the home dir and ran ./javabin as root
[10:46] <Flannel> qShadowp: #ubuntu-effects has a guide in their topic
[10:46] <quaal> and i have this jre1.5.0_10 directory in the home dir now
[10:47] <qShadowp> thanks
[10:47] <juano__> quaal: ok, yea it extracts the files there
[10:47] <prower> Hello :> Anyone know how I'd go about setting the kernel timer resolution to a higher value? Rosegarden is complaining, haha
[10:47] <quaal> juano__,  ok so these are just the installation files
[10:47] <blackduck3> U have to understand that I am new to Ubuntu and this computer, so for your question, I don't know
[10:47] <juano__> quaal: better in another dir then on desktop :P
[10:47] <quaal> and can be deleted
[10:47] <kiwinz_sucks> kernel timer resolution?
[10:47] <cyberyak> on the ubuntu alternate cd, does the install in text mode or oem mode allow me to select packages, or shall I just start with command line only?
[10:47] <juano__> quaal: i think so yes
[10:47] <quaal> juano__,  thanks so much
[10:47] <Flannel> quaal: why aren't you just installing the java in the repositories?
[10:47] <prower> kiwinz_sucks: All it says is that the kernel timer resolution is too low for MIDI, not sure what it means either
[10:47] <quaal> Flannel,  its an older version
[10:48] <quaal> Flannel,  if you mean apt-get by the repositories ?
[10:48] <juano__> quaal: no problem :-) anytime
[10:48] <axa-axa> Can someone PLEASE tel me how to start xserver-xgl with Beryl?
[10:48] <Flannel> axa-axa: #ubuntu-effects for Beryl support, thanks.
[10:48] <quaal> apt-get gives version 1.4, java site gives 1.5
[10:48] <kiwinz_sucks> axa-- follow the instruction on ubuntuguide.org on how to install xgl and beryl
[10:48] <mikeo1> how come all the stuff in my system-> administration menu dissappeared?
[10:48] <kiwinz_sucks> xgl doesn't need to "start"
[10:48] <juano__> quaal: remember when you install as root your installing globaly if it goes in usr
[10:48] <gnomefreak> axa-axa: there is a problem with it please down grade you packages
[10:48] <kiwinz_sucks> it just needs to be included in your xorg.conf
[10:48] <juano__> Azeqss:
[10:48] <Yodude> hey btw does anyone khere know banshee?
[10:48] <quaal> juano__,  right
[10:48] <quaal> thats fine.. java can be used globally
[10:48] <blackduck3> the wireless card is built into the G4 laptop, does that answer the question?
[10:48] <Yodude> hello!!!
[10:48] <kiwinz_sucks> banshee sucks.  use listen
[10:48] <Enselic``> Flannel: it didn't ask me about myltihead settup :(
[10:48] <Yodude> can anyone help here!?
[10:49] <axa-axa> gnomefreak: with what? Xserver-xgl or Beryl?
[10:49] <juano__> quaal: good then :-)
[10:49] <Enselic``> Yodude: whats your problem?
[10:49] <Flannel> cyberyak: OEM will install a default desktop install, that you can customize before sending to your enduser for final setup, normal setup will install the normal desktop, the 'server' option on the alternate CD will install a minimal (CLI only) install, which you can then add onto
[10:49] <gnomefreak> axa-axa: join me in #ubuntu-effects

[10:49] <Yodude> i got 3 questions
[10:49] <juano__> quaal: i believe there is still one more thing to do for firefox plugin for java
[10:49] <mikeo1> how do i install sound in ubuntu?
[10:49] <Azeqss> juano__, yes ??
[10:49] <cyberyak> thanks Flannel
[10:49] <mikeo1> it completely stopped working after i rebooted
[10:50] <juano__> Azeqss: you in recovery console from XP cd ?
[10:50] <mikeo1> ond gstreamer is no longer installed
[10:50] <kiwinz_sucks> mikeo1, check your mixer settings
[10:50] <Azeqss> juano__, yes
[10:50] <kiwinz_sucks> it probably didn't stop working
[10:50] <juano__> Azeqss: i am pm you , are you getting the messages ?
[10:50] <kiwinz_sucks> maybe check and see that your analog or digital switch is turned on or off
[10:50] <mikeo1> xmms no longer has any sound cards available
[10:50] <mikeo1> in alsa
[10:50] <kiwinz_sucks> i used to freak out when my sound stopped workin after a reboot, but it was just a setting in the sound manager
[10:50] <Azeqss> juano__, just get the hi :s
[10:50] <kiwinz_sucks> what's your sound card
[10:51] <kiwinz_sucks> is is listed as dsp?
[10:51] <mikeo1> while before dsp wasnt working
[10:51] <blackduck3> I guess I will go back to windows OS to support Bill Gates if no one is going to help me in this 'support' forum
[10:51] <juano__> Azeqss: ok , go to that wndow
[10:51] <juano__> Azeqss: to that window
[10:51] <mikeo1> so i did some stuff to try to fix it and now no sound works
[10:51] <mikeo1> its nforce4 onboard sound
[10:51] <Yodude> 1: why does GAIM quit unexpectedly in EDGy evrytime i connect to msn (well after i talk a bit actually)?
[10:51] <Yodude> 2: can banshee be downloaded as a single package and not as a repository package?
[10:51] <Yodude> 3: it seems that my FAT32 partition is somehow a part of another partition ( that's what i saw in Gparted) can i still resize it when installing?
[10:51] <Yodude> thanks
[10:51] <mikeo1> but i have 2 tv cards
[10:52] <ran> how can i register irc://irc.xxx.xxx urls so that firefox opens it with xchat?
[10:52] <kiwinz_sucks> well i don't know what you did to try to get dsp to acknowledge it
[10:52] <kiwinz_sucks> but it sounds like it's something you messed up when you were playing with stuff
[10:52] <cyberyak> ok, mental note: Don't detect the keyboard--select it manually.
[10:52] <mikeo1> while i removed amarok and i think thats what screwed it up
[10:52] <sacater> if anyone wants xfce, just go into terminal and type 'sudo apt-get install xfce4' this will take care of dependencies, and to run it, simply go to 'change session' at the login window, and choose xfce!!!!!!!! IT ROCKS!!!!!!
[10:52] <gkffyji> I corrupted the files that allow the x desktop to interface with the hardwear, and now when i boot my computer i get into the terminal window and when i try to enter startx it returns an error
[10:53] <mikeo1> cause when i installed amarok it partly messed it up, and then when i removed it it messed it up even more
[10:53] <LonerVamp> did xfce get your laid or something?
[10:53] <LonerVamp> you*
[10:53] <gkffyji> what is the command to rebuild this?
[10:53] <juano__> Azeqss: you there ?
[10:53] <blackduck3> Forget it
[10:53] <mikeo1> i think its all a permissions problem
[10:53] <Azeqss> juano__, yeah, typing to you whole time :s strange :s
[10:53] <kiwinz_sucks> mikeo1, i have no idea.  taht sounds really weird, because installing amarok doesn't change any config files
[10:53] <Norf-ubu> hey i'm xfce4'ing now - i hope she's cheap
[10:54] <juano__> Azeqss: register your nick
[10:54] <mikeo1> because when i open tvtime i get permission denied, cannot open /dev/video0
[10:54] <blackduck3> is there a HELP LINE!
[10:54] <Asc> blackduck3: guess what? it's a free operating system and we're volunteers.  Whinging doesn't make people want to help you.
[10:54] <godtvisken> I installed postresql with apt-get.. Does this create a security risk because I was root? I am reading something that there should be a postres user?
[10:54] <mikeo1> and all the admin tools dissappeared
[10:54] <kiwinz_sucks> that's because the folder is (since dapper came out) a root folder
[10:54] <mikeo1> think ill try logging on as root to see if it works
[10:55] <blackduck3> FFS What does make people want to help u

[10:56] <juano__>  blackduck3what seems to be the problem ?
[10:56] <sdac221x_> i have an flv video file that only plays on a certain windows flv player... when i try to play it with ubuntu the only prog that opens it with sound is VLC but it always stops halfway.   is there a player for linux that is as universal as windows flv players are ?
[10:56] <kiwinz_sucks> his wireless is randomly "cutting out"
[10:56] <Flannel> sdac221x_: are you running flash9?
[10:56] <mikeo1> how come i cant log in as root?
[10:56] <mikeo1> the pass and username are correct
[10:56] <quaal> juano__,  what is the final step, master ?
[10:56] <sdac221x_> Flannel:  how can i check.
[10:56] <Chilliwack> i don't know what happened, as it wouldn't before, but ubuntu somehow automatically mounted both my windows partition and cd drive!
[10:56] <themachine> mikeol type sudo su
[10:56] <kiwinz_sucks> mikeo1 you have to enable it
[10:56] <Norf-ubu> sdac221x_: i found that VLC media player fits most of my needs
[10:56] <mikeo1> is it disabled by default or something
[10:56] <Azeqss> juano__, you get my messages now ?
[10:56] <godtvisken> Is there a command like `su' but for changing to anther regular user?
[10:56] <Flannel> sdac221x_: how did you install flash?
[10:56] <mikeo1> no i mean a full x session
[10:57] <kiwinz_sucks> yes it's disabled by default
[10:57] <mikeo1> adduser root?
[10:57] <ompaul> godtvisken, that is su, su - username
[10:57] <Flannel> godtvisken: ubuntu doesn't use su, we use sudo.  And you can use sudo.
[10:57] <LonerVamp> I like to blame random internet connectivity on the hackers
[10:57] <kiwinz_sucks> godtvisken, su works for changing to another user if you add the username after su

[10:57] <sdac221x_> Flannel:  i don't remember cos i recentlly installed ubuntu then spent two weeks installing every piece of software i could get my hands on through synaptic, automatix2 and easyUbuntu.   what is the impact of flash 9 in this case ?
[10:58] <juano__> quaal: go into firefox
[10:58] <kiwinz_sucks> Yodude, what is your gaim version?
[10:58] <juano__> quaal: type in URL about:plugins
[10:58] <Chilliwack> ubuntu seems a lot less useless to me now. well, not useless, nto that i never found it useless, but that now i can actually DO stuff!
[10:58] <juano__> quaal: check if there is a JAVA entry in there

[10:58] <lesshaste> any here everanyone here use spamato?
[10:58] <Flannel> sdac221x_: ugh.  Automatix is a good way to screw up your system.  Flash 9 is a newer version (instead of flash 7), that fixes a lot of issues like the one you described
[10:58] <kiwinz_sucks> older versions of Gaim had problems since MSN changed their protocol, but since then, they have been fixed
[10:59] <quaal> juano__,  nope
[10:59] <Yodude> i had the problem in dapper
[10:59] <Yodude> ad i though in Edgy it would get fixed but it's not!
[10:59] <juano__> quaal: ok, theres the problem im talkin about
[10:59] <sdac221x_> Flannel:  ok ill download and install flash 9.  is automatic really dangerous ?  an ubuntu edgy guide guided me through its installation.
[10:59] <juano__> quaal: just a sec ill give you the solution to that
[10:59] <godtvisken> How do I set a password for a user?
[10:59] <quaal> ok
[11:00] <Flannel> sdac221x_: yes.  Which guide?
[11:00] <NET||abuse> hey guys,, how can i get postfix to uninstall without aptitude removeing courier also? i'm gonna re-install postfix straight after, just doing this to flash out the config files, they're buggered
[11:00] <aoupi> godtvisken: sudo passwd username
[11:00] <quaal> godtvisken, system/administration/users ?
[11:00] <blackduck3> Thank you for responding to me. It is much appreciated
[11:00] <justin__> do they know they're still on
[11:00] <[SiMooN] > hi
[11:00] <illriginal> How do I check to see if i have the .WMV Codec?
[11:00] <justin__> in... windows?
[11:00] <sdac221x_> Flannel:  http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy
[11:00] <justin__> no sound :(
[11:00] <illriginal> the fuck...
[11:01] <illriginal> oops.
[11:01] <mikeo1> how come i cant log on is root through gdm?
[11:01] <justin__> illriginal: is this in Linux?
[11:01] <mikeo1> i added root as a user
[11:01] <illriginal> of course...
[11:01] <illriginal> this is the UBUNTU room.
[11:01] <ompaul> mikeo1, you don't need that
[11:01] <mikeo1> yes i do
[11:01] <Yodude> >	can banshee be downloaded as a single package and not as a repository package?
[11:01] <justin__> oh, sorry, wrong server...
[11:01] <mikeo1> because my normal account is broken
[11:01] <mikeo1> and i think its access privlidges doing it
[11:01] <illriginal> How do I check to see if i have the .WMV Codec?
[11:02] <mikeo1> so i want to see if sound works as root
[11:02] <mikeo1> any way to do itL
[11:02] <Flannel> sdac221x_: ugh.  Thanks.  Apparently ubuntuguide is again unsafe.
[11:02] <aoupi> mikeo1: try adding your user to the audio group
[11:02] <illriginal> Totem says it can't determine the type of file..
[11:02] <Asc> illriginal: I'd try to play a .WMV....
[11:02] <mikeo1> can i add my user to the root group?
[11:02] <illriginal> i did
[11:02] <dwid> yeah my totem player wont play the video on wmv
[11:02] <illriginal> and Mplayer doesn't play it.
[11:03] <aoupi> mikeo1: you could add your user to the wheel group and be able to use sudo
[11:03] <linuxd00d> hey guys
[11:03] <linuxd00d> long time no talk
[11:03] <kiwinz_sucks> wow, ok, people need to learn to use Google
[11:03] <mikeo1> mike:x:1000: is that the right privlidgesL
[11:03] <sdac221x_> Flannel:  most of the things in it worked for me... the Beryl guide produced no results though.  so do you recommend i uninstall automatix2.. doesnt it just get packages from synaptic i.e. just a front end
[11:03] <Asc> illriginal: then most likely you don't.  Instructions for installing the extra mplayer codecs are here: http://ubuntu.flowconsult.at/en/mplayer-codec-update/
[11:04] <illriginal> I get this: Could not determine type of stream.
[11:04] <drakkor> does an XP install in VirtualBox need antivrus ?
[11:04] <mikeo1> admin:x:114:  and root:x:0:
[11:04] <linuxd00d> but i have a problem, im installing 6.06 lts, it doesnt seem to like my nvidea card
[11:04] <Asc> illriginal: Don't ask me about totem, I never use it.
[11:04] <linuxd00d> it wont start x server
[11:04] <nahoj> hi, I downloaded some drm-protected wma-files for my friend and they wont play in ubuntu... what to do? =)
[11:04] <illriginal> k
[11:04] <Flannel> sdac221x_: no.    And makes things... well, break.
[11:04] <mikeo1> my main account has somehow been put into limited access
[11:04] <crazy_penguin> 'night all
[11:04] <Xenguy> !restricted > nahoj
[11:04] <mikeo1> how do i give it full permissions?
[11:04] <siikah> when gaming, I have a problem - the computer "locks" up for like 2-3s once in a while (mostly once an hour). the same problem occurs when watching movies. is this something someone here reqognizes? please type a line with my nick in that case. I haven't found anything googling
[11:04] <aoupi> nahoj: with DRM you are out of luck
[11:04] <ompaul> nahoj, the price of "drm"
[11:05] <kiwinz_sucks> nahoj, use sudo apt-get install w32codecs
[11:05] <quaal> hmm
[11:05] <kiwinz_sucks> also, use VLC
[11:05] <quaal> juano__, i think i should try this? http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_J2SE_Runtime_Environment_.28JRE.29_v5.0_with_Plug-in_for_Mozilla_Firefox
[11:05] <kiwinz_sucks> it plays wmv natively now
[11:05] <linuxd00d> but i have a problem, im installing 6.06 lts, it doesnt seem to like my nvidea card
[11:05] <Asc> illriginal: and when I say 'instructions' I mean a page that lists some random commands that some guy said works.
[11:05] <cyberyak> THERE'S A FLUXBUNTU!!!!
[11:05] <juano__> quaal: that seems good yeah
[11:05] <quaal> k
[11:05] <linuxd00d> !fluxbuntu
[11:05] <quaal> i guess it will just overwrite whateve i've already done ?
[11:05] <ubotu> fluxbuntu is a LPAE-standard compliant, Ubuntu-based derivative that maintains the goal of running on a wide range of mobile devices and computers (low-end & high-end). It is lightweight, swift and efficient. | Support Channel: #fluxbuntu on freenode | Homepage: http://fluxbuntu.org/
[11:05] <nahoj> tried w32codecs, did not work... is this the way the future goes?
[11:06] <aoupi> cyberyak: is it stable now?
[11:06] <mikeo1> how do i give my user full permissions?
[11:06] <cyberyak> doesn't appear to be.
[11:06] <juano__> quaal: let me check that sec
[11:06] <sdac221x_> question:  when i try to remove certain packages through synaptic e.g. gaim .. i get a prompt that it wants to also remove xubuntu-desktop package.  should i allow it ?  ( im on xubuntu edgy)
[11:07] <cyberyak> not if it's acpi-support
[11:07] <Asc> illriginal: and they say the w32codecs package does what you want, and using that is probable a better idea.
[11:07] <SecrethX> in beryl, when I press the shortcut for my cube, I dont see a cube but I see a line which shows my desktops, I'd like to see the cube :o
[11:07] <illriginal> i did install them...
[11:07] <illriginal> mplayer just sucks.
[11:07] <spike723_> the ubuntu installer doesn't work in 640x480
[11:07] <spike723_> thats pretty bad
[11:07] <spike723_> it doesn't resize to fit on the screen
[11:07] <a8514> :o
[11:07] <cyberyak> spike723_, laptop?
[11:08] <aoupi> spike723_: 640x480 is pretty bad in itself :)
[11:08] <mikeo1> all the useful management tools in system->administration have dissappeared
[11:08] <mikeo1> how do i get them back?
[11:08] <spike723_> cyberyak: nah it's a desktop, but that doesn't matter
[11:08] <seww> easiest way to pimp out ubuntu?
[11:08] <cyberyak> spike723_, use the alternate cd and install in text mode.
[11:08] <beoba> seww: with a cane
[11:08] <Asc> illriginal: it plays wmv3 just fine for me
[11:08] <seww> beoba: yeah i bet
[11:09] <seww> but i cant beryl to work at all
[11:09] <illriginal> who said anything about wmv3?
[11:09] <illriginal> >.>
[11:09] <spike723_> cyberyak: but the installer should be able to be resized
[11:09] <spike723_> the graphical installer is fine
[11:09] <juano__> quaal: follow the  How to install J2SE Runtime Environment (JRE) v5.0 with Plug-in for Mozilla Firefox
[11:09] <juano__> quaal: only that part
[11:09] <spike723_> it just needs to be fixed
[11:09] <seww> so i just wanna pimp out ubuntu a bit
[11:09] <cyberyak> spike723_,  won't argue that point, just offering a workaround.
[11:09] <cyberyak> if you were in houston, I'd offer a real vid card.
[11:10] <Asc> illriginal: I think you might have mentioned it.
[11:10] <illriginal> wmv yes not wmv3
[11:10] <quaal> juano__,  yea i just did sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre sun-java5-plugin
[11:10] <SecrethX> in beryl, when I press the shortcut for my cube, I dont see a cube but I see a line which shows my desktops, I'd like to see the cube :o
[11:10] <quaal> still running.
[11:10] <Asc> Illriginal: Hmm.  It plays WMV 1 and 2 out of the box.  Or it did for me.
[11:11] <juano__> quaal: yeah , after those instructions try to check and see if theres a Java entry in about:plugins
[11:11] <juano__> quaal: in firefox
[11:11] <quaal> will do
[11:11] <illriginal> meh the file might just be bad.. brb
[11:11] <Flannel> SecrethX: #ubuntu-effects for beryl/XGL/et al support, thanks
[11:11] <sdac221x_> seww:  did you follow a guide to get beryl on your system ?  if so do u have a link cos all ive tried have failed on my xubuntu edgy
[11:12] <SecrethX> Flannel, I didnt even knew that that channel existed.. :o
[11:12] <Flannel> SecrethX: well, now you do ;)
[11:12] <mikeo11234> i knew it
[11:12] <Perryman> !rpm
[11:12] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[11:12] <mikeo11234> all my problems were from access permissions
[11:12] <linuxd00d> !nvidea
[11:12] <SecrethX> Flannel, thats obvious :D
[11:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nvidea - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:12] <stephen_> i need a screenrecorder other than istanbul
[11:12] <Perryman> anyone else having problems installing flash player in opera?
[11:12] <mikeo11234> i logged in as root in an x session and everything including sound works
[11:12] <linuxd00d> im installing 6.06 lts, it doesnt seem to like my nvidea card
[11:13] <linuxd00d> it wont run the X SERVER
[11:13] <mikeo11234> now how do i allow my user to access the sound
[11:13] <Asc> !nvidia
[11:13] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:13] <Flannel> stephen_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreencastTeam/RecordingScreencasts might help
[11:13] <Led-Hed> Is there a way to change the time range in the Power Management Properties?  It ranges from 11min to 1hr,  I would like to set it for 2 minutes.
[11:13] <Asc> linuxd00d: Done sudo dpkg xserver-xorg reconfigure and selected nv driver?
[11:13] <mikeo11234> Perryman: mine works with flash in amd64
[11:13] <NET||abuse> Hi all, can someone help me? i want to remove a package without removing the dependant packages.
[11:13] <linuxd00d> asc:nope not yet
[11:14] <Flannel> NET||abuse: that defeats the purpose of package management
[11:14] <quaal> what is the 6.10 build name
[11:14] <quaal> breezy badger ?
[11:14] <Flannel> quaal: Edgy Eft
[11:14] <quaal> thats it
[11:14] <NET||abuse> Flannel, no, it's just to refresh the install, it's postfix, aptitude reinstall won't do what i need
[11:14] <Asc> linuxd00d: it's worth a try.  And becoming experienced with that command pays *evil grin*.
[11:14] <linuxd00d> Asc: haha
[11:14] <superdave888> hello, installed ubuntu-desktop on my 6.10 server. how do I invoke the desktop from command line?
[11:14] <NET||abuse> Flannel, i just need to remove postfix completely without affecting the courier install, then reinstall it immediatly
[11:15] <linuxd00d> Asc: thanks alot
[11:15] <aoupi> NET||abuse: dpkg-reconfigure postfix?
[11:15] <Asc> linuxd00d: hope it helps.
[11:15] <Chilliwack> hi, errm. i can't ty_e the letter that's one right of "o"
[11:15] <gpm> superdave888: aptitude install ubuntu-desktop ?
[11:15] <mikeo11234> how do i give my user the ability to access sound?
[11:15] <linuxd00d> Asc: so do i
[11:15] <superdave888> yes gpm
[11:15] <dimeotane> anyone know where the gnome personal addressbook is located... other than .evolution?  It wont let me delete this screwed up book inside evolution itself.. but I can't find it my .evolution folder.. where is it?
[11:15] <mikeo11234> and how do i restore all the admin menu items to my users account?
[11:15] <Asc> linuxd00d: If the driver isn't listed, do sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nv
[11:15] <gpm> superdave888: ok. so it's installed, what do you need now?
[11:15] <superdave888> gpm, i want to use it now
[11:15] <mikeo11234> everything works when logging on as root in gdm, but nothing works as my user
[11:16] <mikeo11234> i get access denied for everything
[11:16] <superdave888> gpm, have it installed but I am stuck at command line
[11:16] <NET||abuse> aoupi, nope,, it won't fix certain files which i want it to fix, i've also downlaoded and extracted the deb file and just replaced the postfix-script, postfix-files and post-install files, but they're not quite right, i need to run the install from clean again
[11:16] <gpm> superdave888: ooooh. haha, sorry. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[11:16] <superdave888> thanks gpm
[11:16] <mikeo11234> anyone?
[11:16] <gpm> assuming your X config is all good
[11:16] <gpm> no
[11:16] <Chilliwack> and when i hit it, the bar i'm ty_ing in flashes.
[11:16] <gpm> prob
[11:16] <NET||abuse> aoupi, so i just need to know how to completely strip out postfix alone and not it's dependant package (courier in this case)
[11:17] <aoupi> NET||abuse: apt-get --reinstall?
[11:17] <Flannel> superdave888: you'll definately want to consider switching to the desktop kernel (away from the -server one)
[11:17] <linuxd00d> Asc:
[11:17] <NET||abuse> aoupi, doesn't strip out the package completely, it doesn't replace the postfix-files postfifx-script or post-install files in /etc/postfix either
[11:17] <mikeo11234> how do i restore full access permissions to my user?
[11:17] <Flannel> mikeo11234: add them to the admin group
[11:17] <Chilliwack> can someone possibly help? i've got to paste in "p" every time, 'cause it won't work. but i know the computer's, er, registering me typing it
[11:17] <Ricket> I tried installing SWAT through the Synaptic package manager but it is not working, even after a reboot. http://localhost:901 shows the Unable to Connect error. What is wrong?
[11:17] <aoupi> NET||abuse: hm try --reinstall and --purge
[11:17] <linuxd00d> Asc: will i be able to do this in the shell that ubuntu gives me when it cant run the xserver
[11:17] <superdave888> Flannel, why is that? I am using for a LAMP server, but occasionally want to enter desktop because I am a new linux user and afraid to get lost at command line
[11:17] <Asc> linuxd00d: Hm, it looks as though the nv driver doesn't do 3d, but it should get the GUI running.  searching for 'nvidia' in synaptic returns some things that look useful.
[11:17] <mikeo11234> i think i did but it didn't work
[11:18] <quaal> juano__,  what do i put in firefox again to check the plugins
[11:18] <Asc> linuxd00d: yes
[11:18] <NET||abuse> aoupi, ok, i'll try
[11:18] <Vuen> hey guys, i just turned my computer on and ubuntu decided to fsck my ext2 data partition. at about 70% "fsck died with exit status 1". yet it automatically mounted it and everything seems there. should i be concerned?
[11:18] <Flannel> superdave888: ah, in that case, it shouldn't matter.  Just realize that sometimes your GUI will be less responsive than it could be.
[11:18] <juano__> quaal: about:plugins
[11:18] <aoupi> NET||abuse: just be quick on ctrl+c if it starts to do something crazy :)
[11:18] <linuxd00d> Asc: thanks
[11:18] <user01> where can i find xmms-shn package?
[11:18] <Asc> linuxd00d: You might try installing nvidia-glx as well... not sure if it'll show up as a driver when reconfiguring, but it looks like it does hardware acceleration
[11:19] <superdave888> thanks Flannel
[11:19] <quaal> Java(TM) Plug-in 1.5.0_08-b03
[11:19] <quaal> juano__, you win sir
[11:19] <gpm> user01: it's not in the ubuntu archives
[11:19] <linuxd00d> Asc: thanks, well im about to try all this stuff youve told me
[11:19] <NET||abuse> aoupi, doesn't seem to delete the files
[11:19] <linuxd00d> *FINGERS CROSSED*
[11:19] <Asc> linuxd00d: Righto.  Good luck.
[11:19] <gpm> user01: so...google
[11:19] <gpm> user01: or install it from source or something
[11:20] <user01> gpm: is there any shn codec?
[11:20] <superdave888> Flannel, I tried to start it from within SSH on Windows... just says Starting GNOME Display Manager and then pauses. I guess it is not supported by SSH?
[11:20] <Varanger> hello!
[11:20] <juano__> quaal: great
[11:20] <aoupi> NET||abuse: are you sure the files are coming from postfix and not from postfix-something?
[11:20] <juano__> quaal: you now have Java for firefox
[11:20] <Flannel> superdave888: right, ssh is just a terminal thing.  You'll need to do X forwarding to get a GUI.  cygwin can do it.
[11:20] <user01> gpm: i tried but i got the error configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[11:20] <gpm> user01: i don't know much about the codec, but i don't see anything with apt-cache search shn....and i've enabled universe,multiverse, etc.
[11:21] <NET||abuse> aoupi,yes, when i extract potsfix_x_x-x.deb the postfix-script/files and post-install are all in there
[11:21] <quaal> indeed
[11:21] <Vuen> superdave888: you're looking for something like vnc or nx
[11:21] <Vuen> superdave888: sudo apt-get install nxserver nxclient
[11:21] <user01> gpm: what does % mean?  is that a special shell?
[11:21] <Flannel> NET||abuse: why aren't you just removing postfix, with it courier, then reinstalling both?
[11:21] <superdave888> Flannel, is there a Wiki about X-forwarding? I have cygwin but not sure how to use it
[11:21] <NET||abuse> aoupi, so if that's an indication, i guess they are from postfix package, also dpkg -l | grep postfix reveals only one package
[11:21] <linuxd00d> Asc: i apt-get'd and no luck
[11:22] <NET||abuse> Flannel, as i have data in courier that i can't get back
[11:22] <linuxd00d> im gonna go for a smoke and have a think
[11:22] <gpm> user01: well, it's a prompt for some shells....like zsh uses it i know
[11:22] <superdave888> thanks Vuen, I will check out nx. I already ruled out vnc because it said I have to have an open Gnome session on the server
[11:22] <gpm> user01: you could try these: http://morgoth.free.fr/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xmms-shn/
[11:22] <Vuen> superdave888: yeah, nx creates a new session
[11:22] <aoupi> NET||abuse: ok, but can't you just copy the conf files from the .deb manualy?
[11:22] <Flannel> NET||abuse: removing (just removing, not --purging) doesn't remove any config/etc.  You can always back it up, anyway
[11:22] <Asc> linuxd00d: The drivers don't appear when you do 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'?
[11:23] <NET||abuse> aoupi, i did copy them from the deb, that didn't work as postfix started producing errors in log from postfix-script of "permission denied" and "file not found"
[11:23] <Flannel> superdave888: you can do it fine with cygwin, you just need to install X... and then the command is 'xwin -query [your ubuntu IP] ', but you'll need to setup forwarding on your Xserver (called XDMCP), since it's disabled by default
[11:23] <Vuen> superdave888: seriously, try nx. it's a joke to install and set up
[11:23] <Vuen> superdave888: hold on
[11:23] <user01> gpm:  thanks
[11:24] <Varanger> I can log into my Ubuntu, please help. I get a message like this "There must be some problem because the system was only logged for less than 10 seconds"
[11:24] <gpm> user01: i just googled xmms-shn ubuntu
[11:24] <aoupi> NET||abuse: hm, I'd backup the conf files of the dependencies and then let it purge their files and then reinstall them
[11:24] <Flannel> superdave888: http://mparise.wordpress.com/2006/03/01/using-xdmcp-with-ubuntu-or-any-other-gdm-running-distro/
[11:24] <ryanakca> whats the diff between multiverse and commercial
[11:24] <juano__> !apt
[11:24] <ubotu> APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[11:24] <superdave888> Thanks, Vuen and Flannel, I will try both your recommendations
[11:25] <Varanger> !fglrx
[11:25] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:25] <Flannel> NET||abuse: don't purge courier, just purge postfix.  (uninstall courier)
[11:25] <ryanakca> juano__: that for me?
[11:25] <Vuen> superdave888: this is the guide for dapper: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#Remote_Desktop_Access_via_NX
[11:25] <juano__> ryanakca: nope, for me
[11:25] <ryanakca> ah
[11:25] <aoupi> NET||abuse: yes, do as Flannel says, seems to be less headache
[11:25] <juano__> ryanakca: : P
[11:25] <Vuen> superdave888: for edgy it's the same, except those debs are now in the repos, so you can just apt-get them
[11:25] <root> so how do i enable my normal user account to access my hardware
[11:26] <root> sound and many other things dont work as my username, but everything works in gnome when running as root
[11:26] <Vuen> root: you shouldn't run irc as root...
[11:26] <felixhummel> :D
[11:26] <Eleaf> Hey there.
[11:26] <DaRkNeSS|> what's the syntax to send cron output to null?
[11:26] <Eleaf> Does anybody here use rhythmbox?
[11:26] <cyberyak> Vuen, that is correct.
[11:26] <keeganX> Is there a channel for helping people run games in Linux?
[11:26] <DaRkNeSS|> which is right a) /scripts/cron_inactivity.sh 1>/dev/null 2>&1  or b) /scripts/cron_inactivity.sh 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null
[11:26] <felixhummel> DaRkNeSS|, > /dev/null
[11:27] <root> while how do i make things work as my username
[11:27] <gpm> root: add your normal user to some groups
[11:27] <root> its like my username is broken and nothing works
[11:27] <aoupi> DaRkNeSS|: both are good
[11:27] <Flannel> root: add it to the admin group
[11:27] <cyberyak> Vuen, some of the other IRC apps call you derogatory names.
[11:27] <Vuen> root: if you're using ubuntu, you shouldn't even have root activated...
[11:27] <DaRkNeSS|> will that suppress the automated email?
[11:27] <Turgon> Hello.  Which was the address of a web page with some video tutorials (how to use Evolution, xchat-gnome...). I think I read about it at Planet Ubuntu. Thanks.
[11:27] <gpm> root: specifically: audio, video, plugdev
[11:27] <DaRkNeSS|> will that suppress the automated email?
[11:27] <root> they were the admin account
[11:27] <jrib> root: what groups is your user in?
[11:27] <felixhummel> DaRkNeSS|, 1> sends std out and 2> send error output
[11:27] <NET||abuse> Flannel, ohh, ok, so i can uninstall postfix and allow it to remove courier, then purge postfix, then reinstall postfix and courier
[11:27] <root> they were the default user, then it just stopped working the other day
[11:27] <Flannel> NET||abuse: correct.
[11:28] <DaRkNeSS|> so felix how do i turn off the automated email?
[11:28] <Vuen> cyberyak: hehe, yep. the first time i used ubuntu was back in breezy; i was having some problems, so i had the bright idea of logging into x as root and running mirc to get help
[11:28] <Vuen> cyberyak: it called me an idiot :p
[11:28] <root> this is ubuntu, i had to enable the root account manually to see if my hardware worked with it
[11:28] <aoupi> DaRkNeSS|: 2>&1 means send error to the same plase as stdout
[11:28] <jrib> root: this really sounds like a group issue
[11:28] <root> since it works as root i know its a user permissions problem
[11:28] <felixhummel> DaRkNeSS|, sorry I don't know. for redirection see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redirection_%28Unix%29
[11:28] <Vuen> root: what hardware exactly are you talking about?
[11:29] <root> my sound card, tv card...
[11:29] <grte> Hey, when I try compiling the gimp, I get a dbus error that tells me I have to define DBUS_API_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE
[11:29] <felixhummel> DaRkNeSS|, what automated e-mail?
[11:29] <grte> Anyone know how to do that?
[11:29] <root> all the admin menus
[11:29] <Chilliwack> is there a way to make it so i don't have to go "pon dsl-provider" every time i log on?
[11:29] <root> synopic dissappeared
[11:29] <Vuen> root: also, you really shouldn't run irc as root. even if you are logged in as root, you should sudo your irc client to a less priveledged user
[11:29] <felixhummel> DaRkNeSS|, do you mean CRON logs?
[11:29] <DaRkNeSS|> yeah
[11:29] <root> add/remove programs disappeared
[11:29] <DaRkNeSS|> cron
[11:29] <root> Vuen: don't worry about it
[11:30] <mon^rch> I still cant believe I got my ntfs drives rw :-D
[11:30] <root> i added my user to the admin group but it still didnt work
[11:30] <jrib> root: it's not just the admin group
[11:30] <Vuen> mon^rch: what ntfs drivers are you using?
[11:30] <root> i can sudo su as the user... but the other stuff doesnt work
[11:30] <grte> Does anybody know how to define DBUS_API_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE?
[11:30] <aoupi> root: add the users to the audio group too
[11:30] <root> what other groups is it?
[11:30] <jrib> grte: FOO=bar
[11:30] <grte> jrib: Tried that, no good.
[11:31] <jrib> grte: that's how you define it

[11:31] <eegore> anyone work with a load balance router?
[11:31] <root> there is no audio group?
[11:31] <jrib> root: there is
[11:31] <DaRkNeSS|> is there a positive way to get a linksys wireless-g usb adapter to work with ubuntu
[11:31] <grte> Well, it doesn't seem to be working anyways.
[11:32] <DaRkNeSS|> like 2 months ago i was looking into ubuntu but there wasnt a for sure way to make it work
[11:32] <jrib> grte: what groups is your user in?
[11:32] <grte> It's own.
[11:32] <root> hmmm there is, just wasn't showing up in the program, cating the group file shows it tho
[11:32] <grte> As in, group is save as username.
[11:33] <grte> :s/save/same
[11:33] <root> how do i see what groups my user is in?
[11:33] <jrib> grte: adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip src video plugdev users lpadmin scanner admin
[11:33] <Vuen> DaRkNeSS|: you can probably make it work with ndiswrapper
[11:33] <DiOXiN> tsmithe`: done with the bugrapport: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/42718
[11:33] <Vuen> root: groups|grep <user>
[11:33] <jrib> grte: add him to those.  The 'groups' command tells you your groups
[11:33] <tsmithe`> DiOXiN, cool
[11:33] <grte> Oh, already a part of those.
[11:34] <jrib> why am i talking to grte ?
[11:34] <DaRkNeSS|> yeah Vuen ndiswrapper was the way some people were getting it to work a few months ago
[11:34] <grte> except src.
[11:34] <root> my user is not a member of any groups, and root is a member of 2 groups: root, and users
[11:34] <mon^rch> how can I change the volume label of a drive?
[11:34] <root> how do i add my user to the proper groups?
[11:34] <jrib> root: then adding him to those groups will probably resolve the issue
[11:34] <Flannel> root: you sure you finished the install all the way?
[11:34] <root> yeah
[11:35] <root> it was running fine for 3 days
[11:35] <Vuen> wow
[11:35] <jrib> grte: /why/ are you compiling gimp anyway?
[11:35] <Vuen> that's really strange
[11:35] <grte> Latest unstable version.

[11:36] <Vuen> Chousuke: shouldn't matter
[11:36] <Chousuke> also, that will only echo the commands
[11:36] <devilsadvocate> mon^rch, forgive me, but why do you need to change the volume lable?

[11:39] <Eleaf> Nobody here uses rhythmbox?
[11:39] <Eleaf> =P
[11:39] <nikosapi> grndslm: you need to add a softlink to the script in one of the /etc/rc"x".d dirs (rc3.d and rc5.d)

[11:40] <jrib> grte: what does the README say?

[11:40] <grndslm> nikosapi:  ehh... what?
[11:40] <unop> Chousuke,  that's because you quoted the groups when you shouldnt have
[11:40] <Chousuke> unop: hmm :p
[11:40] <grte> jrib: The relevant section states: Until 1.0 is released, you have to define -DDBUS_API_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE
[11:40] <unop> for group in adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip src video plugdev users lpadmin scanner admin; do echo adduser username $group; done;
[11:40] <grte> just as a safety check to be sure everyone is aware of this API/ABI

[11:41] <nikosapi> grndslm: type this ln -s /etc/init.d/<script name> /etc/rc3.d/
[11:41] <unop> nikosapi,  it's better to use update-rc.d
[11:42] <nikosapi> grndslm: mind you it should alreay be there
[11:43] <nikosapi> grndslm: sorry do what unop said, it's effectivly the same thing but it'll add the start and stop links
[11:43] <jrib> grte: doesn't that -D give you any hints?

[11:44] <grte> If it is, I'm not catching it.

[11:50] <mikeo2> it works!!!!!!!!
[11:50] <bertrand_> no, i can't, it restarts grub again
[11:50] <y0hm> a great loss ...
[11:50] <mikeo2> irc as root saved the day
[11:50] <mikeo2> i have my sound back again

[11:50] <genildo_> manda aew o canal do ubuntubr
[11:50] <grte> Okay, so how do I use gcc to compile, instead of just using make?
[11:50] <ompaul> !br
[11:50] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br  ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigada.
[11:50] <jrib> grte: take a look at what is inside the make file
[11:51] <unop> grte,  make does no compiling -- it just "makes" :)
[11:51] <mikeo2> so how do i disable the root account?
[11:51] <jrib> !root | mikeo2
[11:51] <ubotu> mikeo2: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[11:51] <mikeo2> thanks

[11:55] <earthmeLon> mon^rch are you in edit mode?
[11:55] <earthmeLon> mon^rch, you have to hit INSERT for backspace to work
[11:55] <ademan> mon^rch: are you familiar with vi? it's very different from other text editors, if you're not familiar i suggest nano
[11:55] <beoba> hi, im trying to submit a bug for abiword on launchpad.net, but "AbiWord does not use Malone as its bug tracker." -- does this mean i should instead post the bug to the official abiword tracker?

[11:56] <beoba> okay, thanks
[11:56] <grte> No problem.
[11:56] <ademan> vim has several modes, i will put you into "insert mode" which is basically what you'll want all the time (it's exactly like other text editors) but the real power of vim comes from the other modes
[11:56] <earthmeLon> No, sorry. I have an ATI jinho. I know that the beryl wiki has a lot of good info on how to install graphics cards
