[01:43] <kbrooks> chuckyp, a factoid?
[01:43] <rysiek|pl> Ropechorra: apt-get install dpkg-dev
[01:43] <Ropechoborra> oka
[01:43] <sophtpaw> i installed kubuntu on my other partition, the buggy 6.04 version, could that possibly have infected my system?
[01:43] <rysiek|pl> (do it as root, of course :) )
[01:43] <toxic_> Having a simple bash script, why do I need to call: bash myscript and not use ./myscipt ?
[01:43] <sophtpaw> anyone?
[01:44] <rysiek|pl> sophtpaw: no, rather unlikely
[01:44] <Whatsisname> toxic_,
[01:44] <bjornkri> is it executable?
[01:44] <Whatsisname> is it executable
[01:44] <Gambit-> toxic_, place the directory the script is in in your path.
[01:44] <rysiek|pl> what do you mean by "infected", sophtpaw
[01:44] <Whatsisname> Gambit-, that is a bad solution
[01:44] <sophtpaw> does wine just grind to a halt after a certain amount of use
[01:44] <toxic_> Whatsisname, oh .. Thanks
[01:44] <Gambit-> toxic_, but be careful, it's easy to open yourself to problems that way.
[01:44] <toxic_> Gambit-, I'll probably just move the script to the bash path I guess
[01:44] <sophtpaw> rysiek|pl: well that kubuntu is buggy and in some way is affecting the performance of Breezy in Ubuntu
[01:44] <Whatsisname> toxic_, just make it executable
[01:44] <bjornkri> !wine
[01:45] <karachi> hi, Can anyone guide me regarding "Asterisk-Installation" on Ubuntu
[01:45] <Whatsisname> or run sh whateverbashscriptnameis
[01:45] <sophtpaw> I know ludicrous idea - just grasping at straws
[01:45] <karachi> I have doenloaded it
[01:45] <karachi> hi, Can anyone guide me regarding "Asterisk-Installation" on Ubuntu
[01:45] <sophtpaw> ...for an explanation
[01:45] <toxic_> Whatsisname, thx
[01:45] <Whatsisname> because even if the path environment variable points to wherever said script is
[01:45] <rysiek|pl> sophtpaw: no, it's impossible, IMHO
[01:45] <Whatsisname> again, if it doesnt have executable file permission set, its not going to run
[01:45] <Whatsisname> simple as that
[01:45] <rysiek|pl> sophtpaw: if it uses a different partition - it uses different config files, different executables and so on
[01:45] <sophtpaw> well, you got any ideas why apparently suddenly i can't use Explorere
[01:46] <karachi> Have anyone ever installed a working Asterisk VoIP PBX on UBUNTU ??
[01:46] <chuckyp> sophtpaw, because its a windows app.
[01:46] <sophtpaw> chuckyp: like i said i use wineExplorer
[01:46] <sophtpaw> obviously...
[01:47] <karachi> I have downloaded the source of Asterisk VoIP PBX but can not get it perfectly installed
[01:47] <sophtpaw> is it expected that it would just cease after some time
[01:47] <chuckyp> sophtpaw, I dunnomaybe ask the wine poeple. I don't use that app and wine is buggy.
[01:47] <chuckyp> sophtpaw, #winehq
[01:47] <sophtpaw> ok! thx!
[01:48] <chuckyp> !tell karachi about anyone
[01:48] <dollar> everyone.. can u please tell me how to change my root password and also my user password because i think my friends have them and said they could hack into my system
[01:48] <Whatsisname> use the passwd command
[01:48] <nhaines> dollar, there is no root password.  The account is disabled.
[01:48] <chuckyp> dollar, well if you never set a root password you don't have one
[01:48] <sophtpaw> what would be the way to uninstall wineExplorer if i wanted to start fresh again
[01:48] <Whatsisname> and it looks like its time to find some new friends
[01:48] <karachi> Asterisk VoIP PBX Installation ???
[01:48] <chuckyp> sophtpaw, I thnk wine has an unistaller but i'm not sure.,
[01:48] <karachi> Asterisk VoIP PBX Installation ???
[01:49] <rysiek|pl> dollar: passwd
[01:49] <rysiek|pl> if you execute that as a user, you'll change the password for that user
[01:49] <dollar> no they're teasing me ... they installed linux for me and i know nothing abt it
[01:49] <nhaines> karachi, no one here seems to have experience with Asterisk.  Perhaps you could try the Ubuntu forums?
[01:49] <Whatsisname> then look up the usage for the passwd command
[01:49] <Whatsisname> man passwd
[01:49] <sophtpaw> chuckyp: ok, i'm asking winehq, maybe they'll know
[01:49] <karachi> ok thanks nhaines
[01:50] <dollar> and i know there's a root password cuz when we installed linux it asked to put a root password
[01:50] <chuckyp> sophtpaw, yeah they would know for sure.  My buddy is not online right now I'd ask him he's a wine freak.
[01:50] <karachi> how to search for Ubuntu Forums
[01:50] <chuckyp> dollar, well are you running ubuntu?
[01:50] <chuckyp> karachi, click on "search"
[01:50] <dollar> yeah but with KDE
[01:50] <chuckyp> dollar, so
[01:50] <nhaines> dollar, then they did an expert install.  Try typing 'sudo passwd'
[01:50] <chuckyp> dollar, the only password it asked for was your user password
[01:50] <nhaines> No, that doesn't work, does it?
[01:50] <nhaines> Bummer.  :)
[01:50] <nijan> Hello, I'm trying to play some mp3 from amarok. I'm using gstreamer as engine and osssink for output, it seems to work, but if I try to use alsasink it fails. Using ossink, but it disallow me for reproducing any sound from other media player saying the sound server is already in use. What should I look for?
[01:50] <sophtpaw> thx chuckyp- there should be some winefreaks over at #winehq too, : )
[01:51] <chuckyp> dollar, well change the passwd of your user.
[01:51] <dollar> don't tell me so man.. i know nothin abt linux,,, i spent 30 min to find where i can get ur support :P
[01:51] <chuckyp> dollar, then to be sure you can sudo passwd  to change the passwd for root.
[01:51] <Gambit-> hmmm
[01:51] <chuckyp> dollar, well if you open a terminal and type in man passwd it will tell you how to use it.  then you hit q to quit
[01:52] <Gambit-> On a fresh 5.10 system I do a apt-get upgrade, and it says two packages have been kept back, any ideas what that means?
[01:52] <Whatsisname> it means it won't upgrade them for some "good" reason
[01:52] <chuckyp> Gambit-, it means those packages where kept back.
[01:52] <nhaines> Gambit-, it means that there were dependancy problems and you should use apt-get dist-upgrade.
[01:52] <Gambit-> ok, like previous dependencies requiring that version?
[01:52] <Gambit-> ahh
[01:52] <dollar> yeah i changed the user password
[01:52] <Whatsisname> an example "good" reason is becuase it knows it will break something if it upgrades
[01:52] <Gambit-> should I do dist-upgrade and then upgrade, or upgrade and then dist-upgrade?
[01:52] <dollar> i'm gonna try sude passwd now
[01:52] <dollar> thx u guys
[01:52] <nhaines> Just dist-upgrade.
[01:52] <Whatsisname> do you want to use dapper
[01:53] <Gambit-> dist-upgrade does upgrade underneath?
[01:53] <Whatsisname> because thats what dist-upgrade will do
[01:53] <Gambit-> I think for production staying on 5.10 atm is the smart thing to do, yes?
[01:53] <Whatsisname> or, at least thats what its meant to do
[01:53] <Whatsisname> yes
[01:53] <Whatsisname> then just do upgrade
[01:53] <nhaines> Gambit-, upgrade has a built-in safety check.
[01:53] <Whatsisname> don't dist-upgrade
[01:53] <Ropechoborra> how do i install my video drivers (the file is .tar.gz) ??
[01:53] <Whatsisname> dist-upgrade will upgrade everything and not care about things breaking
[01:53] <nhaines> Gambit-, something changed that is more major, so you can either use dist-upgrade, or just upgrade and go into Synaptic and check on the held-back packages.
[01:54] <chuckyp> Whatsisname, actually dist-upgrade is the smart way of upgrading.
[01:54] <kbrooks> Whatsisname, wrong.
[01:54] <nhaines> Gambit-, Whatsisname is not correct about it upgrading to Dapper.
[01:54] <Gambit-> or whether you're upgrading from release to a middle version?
[01:54] <chuckyp> Whatsisname, and upgrade just upgrades installed packages.
[01:54] <Whatsisname> Ropechoborra, unpack them using tar then read the INSTALL file contained within
[01:54] <chuckyp> Gambit-, what you want to do after install of breezy for production.  then apt-get update  then apt-get dist-upgrade
[01:54] <Gambit-> hmm
[01:54] <chuckyp> Gambit-, dist-upgrade does a smart upgrade and removal of un needed packages.  If you don't believe me do a man apt-get and read.
[01:55] <Gambit-> well wtf, it's a vanilla system, only thing lost if it all dies in flames is my time :D
[01:55] <Gambit-> yeah I'm pulling up man pages as we speak :)
[01:55] <Ropechoborra> Whatsisname, i unpack it in graphic mode, you mean Install.sh ?
[01:55] <Whatsisname> no i mean INSTALL
[01:55] <chuckyp> Gambit-, vanilla system is probably just terminal no x no desktop apps.
[01:55] <Ropechoborra> MM
[01:55] <Gambit-> chuckyp, not probably, it is.
[01:55] <Whatsisname> it will contain installation instructions
[01:55] <nhaines> Gambit-, once Dapper comes out, you can use dist-upgrade to update your Breezy system.  But you must first manually change your repositories, or it'll stay as Breezy.
[01:56] <nhaines> Gambit-, so it is quite safe (as far as not surprising you with a development release!).
[01:56] <Ropechoborra> Whatsisname, cant find it :(
[01:56] <Gambit-> nhaines, This machine's getting configured and then sent out into the wild, patching opportunities will be pretty slim afterwards.
[01:56] <Whatsisname> what kind of video card drivers are you trying to install
[01:56] <nhaines> Gambit-, my main point is that dist-upgrade won't suddenly throw you ahead into dapper.
[01:57] <Gambit-> nhaines, Right, that's an important detail, and more in line with what I'd expect :)
[01:57] <Ropechoborra> The file is called i915Graphics.tar.gz and its the official driver for an oboard intel video card
[01:57] <Gambit-> nhaines, it's all based on whats in the sources.list file anyways, isn't it?
[01:57] <zipper> !xgl
[01:57] <ubotu> XGL on Ubuntu: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/XglHowto - Join #ubuntu-xgl for all the XGL fun on Ubuntu systems. It works ONLY on dapper. Pretty videos on http://www.novell.com/linux/xglrelease/
[01:57] <nhaines> Gambit-, yes, precisely.
[01:57] <Whatsisname> did you look for instructions on intels site
[01:57] <Gambit-> nhaines, cheers for the info :)
[01:57] <Ropechoborra> Yeap... Ill paste the line i dont understand
[01:58] <chuckyp> 915 drivers are in apt I thought
[01:58] <Ropechoborra> 1.  Ensure the X-server is not currently running.
[01:58] <Ropechoborra> 2.  Go to the directory where you saved the driver package and type:
[01:58] <Ropechoborra>         a.  rpm -i dri-I915-v1.1-20041217.i386.rpm
[01:58] <Ropechoborra>         Note:  The console prompt will reappear in a few moments
[01:58] <nhaines> Gambit-, I hope it helped.  :)
[01:58] <chuckyp> Ropechoborra, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/i915Driver
[01:58] <chuckyp> there follo that
[01:58] <Ropechoborra> There is no file called that way ! =(
[01:58] <Gambit-> It'd be nice if there was the option to spit out a dependency tree for the upgrades, instead of just a list...
[01:58] <chuckyp> Ropechoborra, follow the link in the wiki
[01:58] <Ropechoborra> Ok
[01:59] <Whatsisname> Gambit-, what good would that do
[01:59] <nhaines> It would be nice to read.
[01:59] <nhaines> Hi, Matt.
[01:59] <g0dchild> hi, i am unable to play songs on amarok :(
[01:59] <chuckyp> Gambit-, man apt
[01:59] <nhaines> Gambit-, for that, there's always browsing in Synaptic after the fact.  :)
[01:59] <Gambit-> heh true
[01:59] <chuckyp> !tell g0dchild about restricted
[01:59] <Gambit-> I don't have X on this box though...
[01:59] <g0dchild> i can see the tracks selected- they just go by without any sound.
[01:59] <nhaines> Actually, apt-cache does the same, I think.
[02:00] <Whatsisname> how would you display that, becuase everything doesnt only have a single dependency
[02:00] <Whatsisname> you'd have to have some sort of weird 3d tree thing
[02:00] <chuckyp> I could just see the nightmare of lines criss crossing everywhere.
[02:01] <chuckyp> !915

[02:02] <zipper> Where can i get a video that shows the wobbly effect of xgl?
[02:03] <g0dchild> chuckyp-smoking, are you sure its something to do with restricted formats?
[02:03] <g0dchild> i have already installed gstreamer universe
[02:03] <Ropechoborra> It says run "915resolution -l" as root <-- How do i do that?
[02:03] <Whatsisname> use the sudo command
[02:03] <fules67> hi
[02:03] <nhaines> !tell zipper about xgl
[02:04] <Ropechoborra> sudo 915resolution -l ??
[02:04] <Whatsisname> yeah
[02:04] <Ropechoborra> Oka
[02:04] <Ropechoborra> sudo: 915resolution: command not found
[02:04] <zipper> nhaines, the videos there doesnt show the wobbly effects
[02:04] <Whatsisname> try sudo ./915resolution
[02:05] <Whatsisname> -l
[02:05] <nhaines> zipper, I could have sworn it did.  My apology, then.
[02:05] <Ropechoborra> ok
[02:05] <zipper> only transparency, cube and window management
[02:05] <zipper> no problem
[02:05] <gargas> hi when i go to my computer i see only the floppy the cdrom and the file system how can i see my secondary hdd?
[02:05] <tarzeau> anyone for some http://bub-n-bros.sf.net ? there's a new metaserver
[02:06] <chuckyp> gargas, what type of partition is on your secondary hdd?
[02:06] <elkbuntu> g0dchild, can you tell me what soundsystem and output plugin your amarok is using? settings -> configure amarok -> engine
[02:06] <gargas> my primary is formated by ibuku
[02:06] <gargas> the secondary is nfts
[02:06] <chuckyp> !tell gargas about ntfs
[02:06] <gargas> i cant see none of them
[02:06] <chuckyp> gargas, read the link ubotu sent you
[02:07] <g0dchild> elkbuntu, i've tried gstreamer, xine and arts- and tried varying the system sound settings too-
[02:07] <chuckyp> g0dchild, what type of file are you trying to play?
[02:07] <g0dchild> mp3 :S
[02:07] <elkbuntu> set soundsystem to 'xine-engine' and output plugin to 'alsa'
[02:07] <chuckyp> g0dchild, does sound work on the system for other sounds. ?  i.e. login etc...?
[02:08] <g0dchild> chuckyp, it does.
[02:08] <elkbuntu> err, correction soundsystem to 'xine Engine'
[02:08] <chuckyp> g0dchild, well try another audio player just to make sure but it is probably somehting wth your codec.  You need to isntall the restricted codecs stuff.
[02:10] <g0dchild> chuckyp, - thanks. am doing that right now.
[02:13] <Ropechoborra> The readme says Installing

[02:13] <onkarshinde> ANybody using any bluetooth related things on dapper? How does it compare with Breezy?
[02:13] <fredrik> I can't decide wich scripting lang I should learn, python or perl
[02:13] <chuckyp> onkarshinde, dapper discusions are at #ubuntu+1
[02:13] <onkarshinde> Ropechoborra: instead of make install do 'sudo make install'
[02:13] <Ropechoborra> Oka =)
[02:14] <onkarshinde> chuckyp: No oen is there
[02:14] <chuckyp> onkarshinde, i'm in there with 118 other people
[02:14] <onkarshinde> oops
[02:14] <onkarshinde> I guess I previously typed wrong name
[02:14] <shiv> I was installing captive-static. Now I get this message: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[02:14] <shiv> How do I get rid of this
[02:14] <simon__> How do I change something requires superuser privilege in terminal?
[02:14] <Ropechoborra> cp 915resolution /usr/sbin
[02:14] <Ropechoborra>  <--- That appeas when i but sudo make install
[02:15] <elkbuntu> shiv, open terminal and run the command it says
[02:15] <Ropechoborra> *put
[02:15] <gnomefreak> Ropechoborra: checkinstall is better (IMO)
[02:15] <sophtpaw> i have a breezy install and i installed Dapper (kubuntu) on (apparently, but not sure) another partition. Now Breezy is acting up weird. "dpkg -l |grep wine "even gives error
[02:15] <sophtpaw> Help
[02:15] <Ropechoborra> gnomefreak,  O_o what?
[02:15] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell Ropechoborra about checkinstall
[02:16] <Ropechoborra> Thankx xD
[02:16] <gnomefreak> yw
[02:16] <SWAT> sophtpaw, can you 'see' the dapper install on one of your mounted HD's?
[02:16] <gnomefreak> Ropechoborra: might not fix your error but i recommend it over make install
[02:16] <rambo3> tell /me paster
[02:16] <rambo3> !paster
[02:16] <ubotu> Wish I knew. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, rambo3
[02:17] <rambo3> !paste
[02:17] <ubotu> Don't flood the channel! Please use the pastebin at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ or the channel #flood to paste large amount of text.
[02:17] <sophtpaw> SWAT: ) how do i check that?
[02:17] <SWAT> sophtpaw, mount your partitions and look if you see a 'root folder' like structure (like /dev /etc /usr /sbin etc.)
[02:18] <chuckyp> Ropechoborra, also I wouldn't try to install an rpm.
[02:18] <sophtpaw> SWAT, yes what do you mean mount - how please?
[02:18] <shiv> elkbuntu: I already did that it keeps giving me this error and I cannot find these files anywhere.
[02:18] <shiv> Still needed essential module: ntoskrnl.exe
[02:18] <shiv> Still needed essential module: ntfs.sys
[02:19] <chuckyp> shiv, what are you trying to do?
[02:19] <b1010> lol?
[02:19] <SWAT> sophtpaw, "cat /proc/partitions" should let you view all the partitions.
[02:19] <Ropechoborra> sudo apt-get install checkinstall <-- paq. dont found
[02:19] <shiv> chuckyp, install captive-static, ntfs write support. But now it seems its too buggy so want to go back where I was.
[02:19] <SWAT> sophtpaw, then just mount them in your /mnt  and then go through them..... Example "mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb1"
[02:19] <nhaines> shiv is trying to use captiventfs.
[02:20] <gargas> hi gus i have 5.1 speakers but only 3 work how to enable all?
[02:20] <SWAT> sophtpaw, "sudo mount"..... offcourse
[02:20] <chuckyp> shiv, then uninstall captive-static
[02:20] <sophtpaw> SWAT, ok did the first bit, now how do i mount?
[02:20] <SWAT> gargas, you did something wrong
[02:20] <gargas> what
[02:20] <SWAT> sophtpaw, read my second bit
[02:20] <chuckyp> !tell sophtpaw about ntfs
[02:20] <gargas> tell me
[02:20] <chmod775> is there any good audio cd player for gnome
[02:20] <chmod775> ?
[02:21] <SWAT> gargas, hell if I know. Give more information. What speakerset, soundcard etc. ?
[02:21] <Frogzoo> chmod775: xmms? but amarok is much better
[02:21] <chuckyp> chmod775, put a cd in and play it.
[02:21] <gargas> aidigy 2 value
[02:21] <chmod775> ok
[02:21] <chuckyp> rythmbox
[02:21] <gargas> 5.1 creative speakers
[02:21] <chmod775> Which is good ?
[02:21] <SWAT> gargas, audigy 2 works fine here. No problem whatsoever
[02:21] <chmod775> Amarok
[02:21] <chmod775> ?
[02:21] <jimcooncat> is mondorescue broken? need guidance please
[02:21] <chuckyp> chmod775, try them and see which one you like
[02:21] <shiv> chuckyp, this is what I get though
[02:21] <shiv> shiv@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get remove captive-static
[02:21] <shiv> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[02:21] <chmod775> okie
[02:21] <gargas> i have no problem with rhe sound
[02:22] <gargas> but only the front speakers play
[02:22] <elkbuntu> shiv which ubuntu version are you using?

[02:25] <onkarshinde> Anyone can tell me exact way to move my existing /home directory to different partition.
[02:26] <chuckyp> onkarshinde, mount the partitoin to /home
[02:26] <sophtpaw> i can't open a browser at all now!
[02:26] <chuckyp> onkarshinde, no wait
[02:26] <SWAT> sophtpaw, why the hell not?
[02:26] <sophtpaw> no response!
[02:26] <sophtpaw> this is getting scary

[02:27] <sophtpaw> firefox
[02:27] <SWAT> sophtpaw, what does 'uname -r' give you?
[02:27] <Ropechoborra> I cant get installed the package :( dont know what to do
[02:27] <sophtpaw> i just clicked on ubotu's link to pastebin, and that wouldn't open either
[02:28] <elkbuntu> sophtpaw, you could try installing epiphany as an alternative
[02:28] <SWAT> sophtpaw, manually open firefox and TYPE the URL

[02:30] <SWAT> sophtpaw, told you that your system was b0rked
[02:30] <chuckyp> sophtpaw, should restart you panel
[02:30] <ompaul> sophtpaw, what tool did you use to "help" you?
[02:30] <elkbuntu> ctrl+alt+backspace should kill gnome. if it doesnt restart automatically, type 'startx' at the console prompt
[02:30] <chuckyp> ompaul, tool lol
[02:31] <SWAT> I bet you it was Automatix or something ;)
[02:32] <mrpink> Ropechoborra: have you tried to google for your problem
[02:32] <mrpink> Ropechoborra: i had the same too
[02:32] <simon__> How do you get Superuser Privilege???
[02:32] <elkbuntu> !sudo
[02:32] <ubotu> By default, the root password is locked in Ubuntu. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
[02:32] <takedown> sudo
[02:33] <mrpink> Ropechoborra: on what kind of machine you want to install ubuntu
[02:33] <Ropechoborra> No... not ubuntu
[02:33] <Ropechoborra> Just the drivers for my video card
[02:33] <kbrooks> i *think* think that there is a bug in xchat 2..4.4 on ubuntu breezy
[02:33] <sophtpaw> wow, totally froze up , and had to reboot
[02:34] <elkbuntu> couldnt even do startx?
[02:34] <Ropechoborra> mrpink, i have to install the official intel drivers but my problem is that i dont know how (im new in linux)
[02:34] <sophtpaw> what is the url for pastebin again?
[02:34] <mrpink> ok
[02:34] <mrpink> rope
[02:34] <mrpink> Ropechoborra: there is an howto in google for installing them
[02:34] <mrpink> Ropechoborra: iam right back
[02:35] <elkbuntu> ubotu tell sophtpaw about pastebin
[02:36] <Ropechoborra> mrpink, query for a moment plz
[02:36] <shiv> what is the command to execute captive-install-acquire
[02:36] <sophtpaw> thx, elkbuntu
[02:36] <sophtpaw> SWAT: please remind me of the command to get my filesystem up?
[02:37] <sophtpaw> had to reboot
[02:37] <nhaines> !tell sophtpaw about ntfs
[02:38] <Chetic> Can Gnome start executable binaries if you double-click them?
[02:38] <shiv> what is the command to execute captive-install-acquire?
[02:39] <nhaines> Chetic, yes, it can.
[02:39] <Chetic> Does it by default?
[02:40] <nhaines> Chetic, as far as I know, it does.
[02:41] <k0p> hi all
[02:41] <bDerrly> greetings
[02:41] <Chetic> Cool. Thanks nhaines
[02:42] <sophtpaw> SWAT: did you get that?
[02:43] <chmod775> what is drapper flight
[02:44] <chmod775> ?
[02:44] <chmod775> is it a new distro
[02:44] <chmod775> I have heard of drapper drake
[02:44] <chmod775> ?
[02:44] <chmod775> not flight
[02:44] <chmod775> ?
[02:45] <rambo3> testing version of dapper
[02:45] <nhaines> "flight" is the name given to the test releases of Dapper Drake.
[02:45] <nhaines> The last versions used "colony" but that doesn't fit with drakes.  :)
[02:46] <rambo3> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10051  any ideas why this is happening .
[02:49] <gnomefreak> nhaines: colony was used as alpha for breezy as flight is used for the ducky :)
[02:49] <nhaines> gnomefreak, that what I said.  :)
[02:50] <nhaines> Well, there's some fuss about whether drake means a duck or a dragon.  I decided not to put forth an opinion.  ;)
[02:50] <gnomefreak> nhaines: drake = duck (the way they mena it)
[02:51] <gnomefreak> atleast thats everywhere
[02:51] <nhaines> I'm pretty sure they mean the duck too.  :)
[02:51] <Frogzoo> dragons are probly more fun, but a duck would be lower maintenance
[02:51] <gnomefreak> as long as it works i can care less what its called :)
[02:51] <nhaines> hehe  :)
[02:52] <recon00> I'm looking for a window manager (like fluxbox). Can anybody recommend one to me?
[02:52] <gnomefreak> fluxbox is the most like fluxbox
[02:52] <gnomefreak> recon00: openbox blackbox
[02:52] <gnomefreak> or
[02:53] <gnomefreak> enlightenment is another good one
[02:53] <recon00> gnomefreak: I'll try both. And I didn't mean literally "like fluxbox".
[02:54] <gnomefreak> ;)
[02:54] <C-O-L-T> I have just got my second ubuntu shipit cd! UBUNTU ROCKS!!!
[02:54] <nhaines> Congrats, C-O-L-T :)
[02:55] <C-O-L-T> nhaines: thansk
[02:55] <Frogzoo> C-O-L-T: next time, order 20 & hand them around ;)
[02:55] <C-O-L-T> Frogzoo: I have been doing it for a while :)
[02:56] <i486SL> anyone can help with installation problem maybe=

[02:58] <i486SL> chuck: old system from 1999, VIA apollo pro + chipset, pentium 3 500 mhz katmai
[02:58] <nhaines> You don't modprobe fglrx.  You modify your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to reference it.
[02:59] <Frogzoo> alapzaj: have you checked fglrx supports 9000?
[02:59] <chuckyp> karachi, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=415701
[02:59] <i486SL> chuck: btw, i cannot install ANY linux distro

[03:06] <nhaines> I don't have a mobility card but I do have a 7200, which works.  You might want to try https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI as a starting point?
[03:06] <whyami> how can I silence the built-in system bell that beeps whenever I boot the computer, wake it from hibernation, or put it to sleep?
[03:07] <QbY> anyone know of a good util that will recover data from a screwed up xp partition?

[03:08] <alapzaj> ok i try this
[03:08] <Frogzoo> alapzaj: but modprobe worked? it reported 7500?
[03:08] <renato> is there a package for system maintenance?? like defrag and checking the system for optimal performance?
[03:08] <xaero_> ubotu, can you help me please? i need some help with the installation of certain packages
[03:08] <ubotu> I'm sorry, i don't know what you're talking about, xaero_
[03:08] <whyami> anybody have a broadcom wireless chipset working with ndiswrapper and WEP?
[03:08] <chuckyp> whyami, yeah I have one on my knoppmyth box
[03:08] <nhaines> renato, Linux filesystems don't need defragmented.
[03:08] <Frogzoo> renato: defrag isn't needed for ext3
[03:08] <nhaines> whyami, I do.
[03:08] <xaero_> Frogzoo, can you help please?
[03:09] <chuckyp> whyami, oh no wep though but htat shouldn't matter.
[03:09] <rambo3> !paste
[03:09] <ubotu> Don't flood the channel! Please use the pastebin at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ or the channel #flood to paste large amount of text.
[03:09] <Frogzoo> xaero_: the way it works is, if peeps can answer your question, they will
[03:09] <nhaines> alapzaj, better run 'sudo lspci' and tell us what model it says your ATI card is.
[03:09] <chuckyp> !tell xaero_ about install
[03:09] <xaero_> k
[03:09] <renato> Frogzoo, yes i know but what about other types of mainteinance?
[03:09] <i486SL> who installed this distro successfully on a VIA chipset computer?
[03:09] <whyami> chuckyp, nhaines: I have tried everything. The wireless works great on my unencrypted network at home. But if I add encryption, it can't even find the access point.
[03:09] <chuckyp> i486SL, lots of people
[03:10] <Viper5703> Hey is there networknig support in Dapper?
[03:10] <chuckyp> i486SL, what type of hardware are you using mainly what type of cpu etc..
[03:10] <chuckyp> Viper5703, dapper talk is in #ubuntu+1
[03:10] <Viper5703> oh ok. Sorry
[03:10] <whyami> i486SL: I have a VIA chipset with dapper which works great.
[03:11] <nhaines> whyami, can you show us your /etc/networks/interface file with pastebin?
[03:11] <xaero_> btw thanks chuckyp
[03:11] <Frogzoo> renato: hate to disappoint, but ubuntu doesn't need much maintenance - maybe install & run regularly 'smartmontools' for starters
[03:12] <alapzaj> lspci says RADEON MOBILITY M7 LW (Radeon 7500)
[03:12] <whyami> nhaines: sure. Can you remind me the url for pastebin?
[03:12] <renato> Frogzoo, ok... thanks
[03:12] <SilentJ> Cant install Ubundu from the Install disk or the LIVE CD. I have 2 partitions one Windoze XP sp2 the other Xandros Linux...  My computer is ... Dell 9300 1GB Ram, 100GB HD Centrino...  I tried "boot: linux vga=771 nopic
[03:12] <Frogzoo> whyami: maybe try your luck with wifi-radar
[03:13] <nhaines> !paste
[03:13] <ubotu> Don't flood the channel! Please use the pastebin at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ or the channel #flood to paste large amount of text.
[03:13] <SilentJ> me?
[03:13] <whyami> Frogzoo: tried that. It hangs...
[03:13] <dylan__> nhaines, where does all this text go?  in the server somewhere?
[03:13] <Frogzoo> alapzaj: don't believe everything lspci tells you ...
[03:13] <SilentJ> Ubotu you speaking to me?
[03:13] <ubotu> SilentJ: Did you get hit by a windmill? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[03:13] <yezariael> hey, how can i change the order of the daemons run at boot-time?
[03:13] <dylan__> SilentJ, sounds like your MBR is busted, buddy
[03:13] <SilentJ> MBR?
[03:13] <nhaines> dylan__, yup, and then you paste the URL into this channel.
[03:14] <SilentJ> What do you mean?
[03:14] <Ox0000> I have 10 Floppy Drivers in my GNOME-VFS filechoosers dialog... how can I remove them (I don't have a floppy)
[03:14] <Frogzoo> SilentJ: ubotu's a bot
[03:14] <SilentJ> oh haha
[03:14] <chuckyp> Frogzoo, lol
[03:14] <SilentJ> figures
[03:14] <distrojunkie> MBR = Master Boot Record
[03:14] <SilentJ> ahh
[03:14] <SilentJ> possiably
[03:14] <duckblur> I need help with fonts. No matter what I do I can't seem to get msttcorefonts looking good in Breezy.
[03:14] <i486SL> chuckyp: P3 500 mhz, Katmai..my pc is full packed with pci cards and 1 isa NIC card, all pci slots and isa slots are occupied
[03:14] <SilentJ> Any idea how to fix it?
[03:15] <chuckyp> i486SL, check the media possibly or try to burn the distro at a slower speed like 8x or lower.
[03:15] <bigbill50> good morning all, i would like to know if anyone has been able to get a westell PCCARD to work with  ubuntu
[03:15] <i486SL> cd rom, cd burner..zip drive on the parallelport
[03:15] <chuckyp> i486SL, other than that it should work find.
[03:15] <i486SL> dont know why linux doesnt want to install
[03:15] <LinuxJones> duckblur, you have an lcd screen ?
[03:15] <duckblur> No
[03:15] <duckblur> CRT
[03:15] <Frogzoo> i486SL: might not be a bad idea to remove all your cards & see if install will run, then install cards one by one
[03:15] <chuckyp> !tell bigbill50 about anyone
[03:15] <SilentJ> < LCD screen laptop
[03:15] <whyami> nhaines: okay. The interfaces file is there: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10055
[03:16] <gazanfer> hi all
[03:16] <duckblur> The fonts look mirrored or whatever you may call it
[03:16] <LinuxJones> duckblur, in the fonts dialog box, have you played with all the different settings ?
[03:16] <xaero_> what is the password to the 'sudo' command?
[03:16] <chmod775>
[03:16] <chmod775>
[03:16] <xaero_> it doesnt take in the user's password
[03:16] <i486SL> chuckyp: yes i tried that one..burned the ISO with 8x speed..since the second master drive is an old mitsumi 2x burner (8x reading)
[03:16] <dsas> xaero_: is the user in the right group?
[03:16] <duckblur> Well, the only app I use that uses msttcorefonts is opera, and opera doesnt use gnome's settings, it goes directly by what fontconfig has.
[03:16] <xaero_> which group should it be in dsas ?
[03:16] <chuckyp> i486SL, well then possibly remove some of the cards and go from there.
[03:16] <SilentJ> what do you think is jackin me up?
[03:16] <gazanfer> is this the right channel to ask newbie questions?
[03:16] <i486SL> generally it doesnt like 24x burned cds..so i tried 8x..but is this the reason?
[03:17] <chuckyp> i486SL, but ti should work.
[03:17] <chuckyp> gazanfer, yes ask
[03:17] <gnomefreak> gazanfer: yes
[03:17] <chuckyp> gnomefreak, jesus
[03:17] <gnomefreak> lol
[03:17] <chuckyp> gnomefreak, the best one this morning was how do I search on the forums.
[03:17] <distrojunkie> silentj: if your MBR is corrupt, boot with live cd rescue and reinstall grub
[03:17] <LinuxJones> duckblur, I havn't tried Opera in about 5 years
[03:17] <i486SL> chuckyp..oh yeah..i heardthat one..but i really dont want to go that way...finally i will need all those cardslater..even if teh install works..
[03:17] <SilentJ> Tried booting with the live CD get the same crap
[03:17] <i486SL> no other way to get it installed?
[03:17] <gazanfer> i just installed ubuntu, but i also need to access my winxp partition. but somehow grub doesnt have that option by default. i tried to setup grub, but its too complicated for me.
[03:17] <chuckyp> i486SL, yeah theres an option try to boot a live cd.
[03:17] <gnomefreak> lmao i still like the how can i upgrade from flight4 -flight5
[03:17] <duckblur> LinuxJones: Well, the same is true with Firefox as far as I've noticed too
[03:17] <nhaines> whyami, okay, that looks pretty standard.
[03:18] <gyoya> wow
[03:18] <xaero_> which group should the user be in to run the 'sudo' command? it asks for a pssword and doesn't take in the user's password.. any ideas?
[03:18] <distrojunkie> i doubt its the mbr then
[03:18] <chuckyp> !tell gazanfer about ntfs
[03:18] <whyami> nhaines: it doesn't even find the access point, which I think it weird...
[03:18] <Frogzoo> i486SL: oh, the cd burning is a good point - your (old) cd reader may require MODE 1
[03:18] <gnomefreak> gazanfer: did you install ubuntu after installing windows?
[03:18] <dsas> xaero_: it should be in the admin group IIRC
[03:18] <nhaines> whyami, but it does see it if you disable WEP?
[03:18] <SilentJ> Think it has something to do with my other Linux Partitions?
[03:18] <xaero_> IIRC is the admin group dsas ?
[03:18] <LinuxJones> duckblur, I like the Bitstream fonts that are installed by default. They look the best on my system :)
[03:18] <gazanfer> yes. winxp was already installed and working
[03:18] <dsas> xaero_: no it should be in the 'admin' group
[03:19] <chuckyp> gazanfer, so you can boot to winxp or not?
[03:19] <xaero_> ok thanks dsas
[03:19] <gnomefreak> gazanfer: and now grub doesnt give you windows as a boot option?
[03:19] <gazanfer> i can not
[03:19] <duckblur> LinuxJones : Well I use windows from time to time too, and I get annoyed by changes.
[03:19] <gazanfer> yes it doesnt have that option
[03:19] <distrojunkie> silenj: i don't think so maybe a problem with your x.org config
[03:19] <gnomefreak> !grub
[03:19] <ubotu> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/GrubHowto or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows or troubleshooting grub: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Troubleshooting
[03:19] <SilentJ> no idea how to fix it
[03:19] <dsas> xaero_: the easy way to do it is to use the 'users and groups' tool
[03:19] <SilentJ> i would really like to try Ubuntu,,, hear its a kick ass distro
[03:19] <xaero_> dsas,  may i PM you?
[03:20] <distrojunkie> did you get ubuntu installed?
[03:20] <xaero_> if you do not mind
[03:20] <dsas> xaero_: sure
[03:20] <xaero_> thanks
[03:20] <LinuxJones> duckblur, That's understandable
[03:20] <Ropechoborra> How do i save an archive modified in vim ?
[03:20] <Nogimics> hmmm just went to install something and it asked for the Breezy Badger CD, its the first time its ever asked for the CD whent installing is there a lot on the CD which it wont grab from the net instead?
[03:20] <i486SL> frogzoo...whats that? you mean i should burn the cd with less than 8x?
[03:20] <SilentJ> What a bummer I spent 2 days downloading this damn thing
[03:20] <i486SL> but it can read the cd here or not?
[03:21] <distrojunkie> SilentJ: did the ubuntu install go ok?
[03:21] <i486SL> it starts teh installation..then it hangs..i see nothing about a crc error or something..
[03:21] <Ropechoborra> How do i save an archive modified in vim ?
[03:21] <Frogzoo> i486SL: no, CDs are either mode 2 or mode1 - very old readers can't handle mode 2
[03:21] <bigbill50> i have a wireless westell pc card that i am trying to get to work
[03:21] <SilentJ> naw, it gets half way threw then it goes on an Acid trip
[03:21] <gnomefreak> Nogimics: edit you sources.list to use the repos instead of the cdrom
[03:21] <duckblur> Anyway. The guys on the forums mentioned that it looks bad because bytecode interpreter is off (as of default in breezy). I don't know how much of that is true. But I'd like the bytecode interpreter.
[03:21] <i486SL> frogzoo: you think this is the reason for the hangup?
[03:21] <chuckyp> gazanfer, here's a sample of my menu.1st and i'm dual booting xp to help you out a little. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10058
[03:21] <SilentJ> my screen wacks out and it freezes
[03:21] <Frogzoo> i486SL: it's worth reburning to test the theory
[03:21] <i486SL> ok
[03:21] <Nogimics> gnomefreak how would I go about that?
[03:21] <nhaines> whyami, I'm sorry, I need to leave.  :/  Try checking the Ubuntu forums if no one else here can help you.
[03:21] <i486SL> i will try that one too
[03:21] <distrojunkie> SilentJ: at what point?
[03:21] <i486SL> noted.
[03:22] <whyami> nhaines: no problem. thanks.
[03:22] <Ropechoborra> chuckyp,  How do i save an archive modified in vim ?
[03:22] <gnomefreak> Nogimics: in /etc/apt/sources.list  the line that starts with cdrom its the very first one put a # infront of it
[03:22] <nhaines> whyami, try that or the wiki.  It was the wiki that got me set up long ago.  :)
[03:22] <chuckyp> Ropechoborra, what do you mean a file modified with vim?
[03:22] <CFNinja> I'm registering for the ubuntu forums, anyone want to be the person that referred me?
[03:22] <gnomefreak> Nogimics: than take the # away from lines that start with word deb
[03:22] <gazanfer> thanks for help. now i downloaded diskmounter, run it, and succeeded mounting my winxp partition. do i need to do anything else?
[03:22] <eXtas-Styrkja-> Anywhon know if there is a special cs for Sparc ?
[03:22] <Nogimics> ok will try
[03:22] <SilentJ> umm, press enter to start installation... goes threw all the text then aparently when it is about to boot to the GUI it wacks out
[03:22] <nhaines> CFNinja, be sure and check out the amazing Ubuntu forums.  ;)
[03:23] <i486SL> frogzoo: one more question..to speed up the installation..can i install this system from the HDD?
[03:23] <gnomefreak> gazanfer: the diskmounter isnt gonna help you boot to xp
[03:23] <Ropechoborra> chuckyp,  yep.. i modified the xorg.conf and i want to save it..
[03:23] <chuckyp> gazanfer, yeah to boot xp you need to edit /boot/grub/menu.1st and append the xp partitoin in there so you can dual boot it.  If thats what you are after.
[03:23] <CFNinja> That good eh?
[03:23] <gazanfer> ok ill try that now
[03:23] <chuckyp> Ropechoborra, hit esc they type :   then w  to write then q to quit
[03:23] <Ropechoborra> Ok
[03:23] <gnomefreak> make sure windows has chainloader +1 i think it is
[03:23] <distrojunkie> SilentJ: so it install ok, reboots, then screws up before you get the login screen?
[03:23] <chuckyp> gnomefreak, yeah
[03:24] <Frogzoo> i486SL: I don't think ubuntu installs from HDD afaik :(
[03:24] <chuckyp> i486SL, sure you can
[03:24] <nhaines> Take care, everyone.  :)
[03:24] <chuckyp> i486SL, but pita to do.
[03:24] <Viper5703> see ya haines
[03:24] <CFNinja> Anyone experience any caveats with the live cd for a G3 imac? I can't seem to get mine to boot from the cd.
[03:25] <k31th> Afternoon
[03:25] <i486SL> frogzoo: last questions: what do you think about BeOS?
[03:25] <i486SL> alternative to linux?
[03:25] <LinuxJones> CFNinja, don't you only have to press the c button while booting for your mac to boot to the cdrom drive ?
[03:25] <eXtas-Styrkja-> Anywhon know if there is a special cs for Sparc ?
[03:25] <CFNinja> that was my thought
[03:25] <distrojunkie> linuxjones: that is corect
[03:26] <slickeddie> hey everybody I have a question
[03:26] <whyami> !irq
[03:26] <ubotu> whyami: Not a clue. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[03:26] <Torsson> cd*
[03:26] <Ropechoborra> chuckyp, it says it is in readonly
[03:26] <duckblur> hmm, why can't I download source with "apt-get source *name*"?
[03:26] <CFNinja> I burned the iso from a pc. I wonder if that makes a difference. Shouldn't.
[03:27] <chuckyp> Ropechoborra, you need to edit it using sudo
[03:27] <Codenut> I need help with administration
[03:27] <whyami> is there a reference for diagnosing and fixing irq conflicts?
[03:27] <recon00> In enlightenment, when trying to go to the "debian menus->apps->net", so many items come up the menu gets scrolled and then disappears. Any help?
[03:27] <chuckyp> Ropechoborra, so you would do sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf or sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf  that way you can write the file since you need root to do it.
[03:27] <slickeddie> I just installed Ubuntu yesterday (an older version I think) it came with Firefox 1.07 I want to update to the latest Firefox, how do I do it? I have the latest version downloaded, i just can't figure out where to extract it to.
[03:28] <recon00> In enlightenment, when trying to go to the "debian menus->apps->net", so many items come up the menu gets scrolled and then disappears. Any help?
[03:28] <chuckyp> !tell Codenut about ask
[03:28] <LinuxJones> CFNinja, does the livedcd actually start or you just can't boot to cdrom drive ?
[03:28] <chuckyp> !tell slickeddie about ff1.5
[03:28] <Frogzoo> i486SL: I'll fess up - never tried it *shrug*
[03:28] <i486SL> ok ;)
[03:28] <slickeddie> thanks chucky i'll give it a try
[03:28] <LinuxJones> whyami, you're running an old 16 bit device ?
[03:28] <gnomefreak> recon00: logout and log back in see if that helps
[03:29] <distrojunkie> slickeddie: just extract it to your home folder, then run firefox from that folder
[03:29] <CFNinja> So far I can't boot to the cd when OS 8 (yes, original imac release collecting dust on my desk) it wants to initialize the CD.
[03:29] <CFNinja> Hmmm.
[03:29] <Ropechoborra> chuckyp, can i talk to you in query ?
[03:29] <chuckyp> recon00, also ask in #debian maybe
[03:29] <chuckyp> Ropechoborra, yeah
[03:30] <gnomefreak> chuckyp: i would have sent him to #enlightenment first but im sure they will send him there ;)
[03:30] <whyami> LinuxJones: no I'm running a fairly modern Laptop. I'm trying to figure out why ndiswrapper sometimes hangs the entire machine.
[03:30] <Codenut> I need to remove access to things for my young son, such as browsing and administration when he logs on using his username. I just want hiim to have chat and openoffice here in the Garage.
[03:31] <LinuxJones> CFNinja, maybe you burned the livecd.iso as a file rather than an actual image file.
[03:31] <LinuxJones> whyami, what kind of machine do you have ?
[03:31] <vader> heh I did that for the first time in ages the other day LinuxJones
[03:31] <sorush20> whyami: are you trying to start and restart ndiswrapper like this sudo /etc/init.d/ndiswrapper stop
[03:31] <whyami> LinuxJones: Dell Latitude D600
[03:31] <LinuxJones> vader, everyone has done it at least once :)
[03:32] <LinuxJones> whyami, let me have a look around
[03:32] <whyami> sorush20: no, just ifup wlan0 and ifdown wlan0
[03:32] <CFNinja> LinuxJones: that's a good thought but the tool I use for burning is specific for writing isos. I'm going to reburn anyway.
[03:32] <sorush20> whyami: do you get any errors?
[03:32] <CFNinja> digg had something the other day about the new release is "almost" out. Is 5.10 what they were referring to?
[03:32] <recon00> Gnomefreak: Nope, didn't help. I think that the problem is that the menu is too big to fit on the screen.
[03:33] <vader> I am currently using Dapper, only problem I have found thus far is I cannot get the broadcom wireless working for some dumb reason, but I will one of these days lol
[03:33] <whyami> sorush20: none that I have found. I'm not sure I have checked the system logs.
[03:33] <Frogzoo> Codenut: just remove the user from group admin
[03:33] <LinuxJones> whyami, >> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptopsDell?highlight=%28laptop%29
[03:33] <slickeddie> what is the default root password? The installer didn't let me choose one
[03:33] <sorush20> vader: there is development being done on making a driver for it look on google..
[03:33] <gnomefreak> recon00: open menu at top of screen hold mouse over opened menu it should stay there
[03:34] <Frogzoo> CFNinja: breezy is 5.10 - the new release will be dapper
[03:34] <sorush20> whyami: are you sure you have set the interfaces file right?
[03:34] <CFNinja> thx
[03:34] <LinuxJones> whyami, looks like an easy fix for you there
[03:34] <sorush20> whyami: paste it as a link so that we can take a look
[03:34] <recon00> gnomefreak: nope. the new net menu actually scrolls the rest of the menu off the screen so I can't pick it.
[03:34] <distrojunkie> slickeddie: root is disabled, use sudo for admin tasks
[03:34] <whyami> LinuxJones: the D600 listed there has a different wireless card.
[03:35] <chuckyp> !tell slickeddie about sudo
[03:35] <vader> I have.....like I said one of these days
[03:35] <vader> no worries sorush20
[03:35] <sorush20> slickeddie: there is no root you just type sudo and your password..
[03:35] <LinuxJones> whyami, yeah but it's the same problem
[03:35] <shane__> !sources
[03:35] <ubotu> To enable Universe and Multiverse see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto - Official sources.lists here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 (Breezy) or http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666 (Dapper) see also !easysource
[03:35] <recon00> slickeddie: if you want to enable it, try sudo passwd root. that will enable the root account.
[03:35] <LinuxJones> whyami, more than likely it will fix your problem
[03:36] <gnomefreak> recon00: in terminal type update-menus that hopfully will fix it
[03:36] <sorush20> LinuxJones: what did you recommend to whyami
[03:36] <whyami> LinuxJones: are you talking about disabling the parallel port? Yeah I did that already...
[03:37] <ropechoborra> How can i chat in text mode?
[03:37] <whyami> !paste
[03:37] <ubotu> Don't flood the channel! Please use the pastebin at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ or the channel #flood to paste large amount of text.
[03:37] <recon00> gnomefreak: 1. it didn't work. 2. if you can tell me how to edit the contents of the menu then I think I can fix it
[03:37] <chuckyp> ropechoborra, what do you mean chat?
[03:37] <sorush20> ropechoborra: what do you mean explain
[03:37] <chuckyp> sorush20, lol
[03:37] <ropechoborra> chuckyp, enter the IRC in text mode
[03:37] <jonolson> ropechoborra, ...In the terminal?
[03:37] <chuckyp> ropechoborra, irssi is one client.  bitchx is another
[03:37] <chuckyp> ropechoborra, I think irssi is installed by default.
[03:37] <ropechoborra> Yep
[03:38] <gnomefreak> recon00: on that menu im not sure try #enlightenment they maybe can help more
[03:38] <LinuxJones> sorush20, there's a fix on the wiki for passing noacpi in grub or disabling the paralell port in his laptop's biox
[03:38] <Frogzoo> ropechoborra: irssi
[03:38] <ropechoborra> What should i do then?
[03:38] <chuckyp> ropechoborra, if not you just sudo apt-get  one of them that you want.
[03:38] <chuckyp> ropechoborra, type in irssi in a terminal
[03:38] <whyami> sorush20: here's my interfaces file: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10055
[03:38] <sorush20> LinuxJones: thanks..
[03:38] <chuckyp> !irssi
[03:38] <ubotu> irssi is probably http://f0rked.com/core/irssi
[03:38] <Frogzoo> ropechoborra: then '/connect irc.freenode.org'
[03:38] <ropechoborra> Ok
[03:38] <chuckyp> Frogzoo, isn't it freenode.net
[03:39] <Frogzoo> chuckyp: maybe it is, but irc.freenode.org works for me :D
[03:39] <chuckyp> Frogzoo, yeah either works.
[03:39] <sorush20> whyami: have you done a auto wlan0?
[03:39] <karachi> Asterisk Installation met problem ? Can anyone help me ?
[03:39] <threeseas> hello
[03:40] <Frogzoo> karachi: you'd probly do better in an asterisk specific channel I'm guessing
[03:40] <whyami> sorush20: I've done ifup wlan0. It works *most* of the time, then occassionally the whole machine including the mouse becomes unresponsive.
[03:40] <bigfoot1> if i convert our company from windows to ubuntu, will this provide us with the ability to see what website the employees are visiting?
[03:40] <freebse> Hi, kde has just crashed to gdm and now I can not start it anymore (reboboted etc. allready)... it says dcopserver isn't running, if I try to start dcopserver manually I get an error
[03:41] <freebse> also Gnome is hanging when starting it
[03:41] <sorush20> whyami: add the line auto wlan0 to you interfaces file... before the iface wlan0 inet dhcp
[03:41] <threeseas> I have a hard drive with ubuntu 5.10 installed with LVM and some time ago something got screwed, and now I can only log into a shell and have very little ability to run programs
[03:41] <karachi> yes but there it is hard to find anyone having experirence with Ubuntu & Asterisk
[03:41] <SilentJ> Anyone help me with the Ubuntu install having alot of problems
[03:41] <threeseas> There is some way to fix it but I don't know
[03:41] <freebse> bigfoot1: off course, install any proxy server and log it
[03:41] <whyami> sorush20: okay, I'll try it.
[03:41] <Frogzoo> bigfoot1: no - the usual way to monitor traffic is proxy logs
[03:42] <LinuxJones> bigfoot1, you can just check the proxy server logs for that
[03:42] <bigfoot1> and if i set up this "proxy logs" thing, there's no way for an employee to try to hack his way out of it?
[03:42] <xgltest> hey anyone got xgl to run on dapper
[03:43] <nico8481> hi
[03:43] <xgltest> i get this error about a security file and then something about failing opcodes
[03:43] <sorush20> whyami: after you have done that just do sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[03:43] <bigfoot1> and is there a way i could stop the employees from installing programs without our permission?
[03:43] <LinuxJones> bigfoot1, if you have someone in your company doing naughty things on your network, fire him/her.
[03:43] <sorush20> nico8481: hi
[03:43] <SilentJ> having big problems with laptop install
[03:43] <Healot> like child porn?
[03:44] <bigfoot1> LinuxJones: yes, but first we need to cach them
[03:44] <SilentJ> Ummm Child porn.. Yummy
[03:44] <SilentJ> haha
[03:44] <sorush20> Healot: what about it?
[03:44] <bigfoot1> you know human nature... when the boss is away, the employees are at play.
[03:44] <distrojunkie> SilentJ: what is your hardware?
[03:44] <ropechoborra> chuckyp, well... i couldnt solve the resolution problem =(
[03:44] <triablo_> hi! How to check my Ip adress in linux ?
[03:44] <Frogzoo> bigfoot1: to totally stop unauthorised installs, you need physical security or some way to stop people booting to single user
[03:44] <SilentJ> Dell Insperation 9300
[03:44] <SilentJ> Lappy
[03:44] <nico8481> when you rip to FLAC/ogg, do you have to specify anything to obtain "gapless" files or are they gapless by default?
[03:45] <sorush20> SilentJ: I hope you didn't mean what you said..
[03:45] <SilentJ> 1gb Ram 100 GB HD
[03:45] <SilentJ> centrino
[03:45] <bigfoot1> Frogzoo: ? what do you mean? Can't ubuntu's software handle this?
[03:45] <nico8481> because having ripped a CD to ogg, i feel like totem insert smalls blanks between tracks when playing it...
[03:45] <LinuxJones> bigfoot1, normal users can't install programs in Ubuntu. Usually only the person who installs it get's to install programs. The next version (Dapper) will have better features for locking down the Gnome desktop for users like you.
[03:45] <freebse> bigfoot1: for installing programs you need root privileges... so no user can install programs. He/She can install them to home but this is a minor problem
[03:45] <xgltest> triablo_, open terminal and use ifconfig
[03:46] <bigfoot1> freebse: a regular user can still install programs?
[03:46] <chuckyp> !tell freebse about sudo
[03:46] <triablo_> xgltest ,ifconfig doesnt show me my Ip adress
[03:47] <shane__> !w32codecs
[03:47] <ubotu> somebody said w32codecs was a compilation of binary win32 A/V codecs for many popular proprietary formats not currently supported by free implementations under linux. See http://tinyurl.com/e4a5s to install
[03:47] <bigfoot1> is there a way to just set up the company computers with all the work applications that are needed and have no other programs installed without my (management)permission?
[03:47] <Frogzoo> bigfoot1: it's all doable, just depends how much trouble you want to go to
[03:47] <sorush20> triablo_: try sudo ifup -a
[03:47] <xgltest> triablo_, you interface is not up and or configured then
[03:47] <onkarshinde> bigfoot1: this feature is coming with Dapper
[03:47] <bigfoot1> Frogzoo: what's doable: installing stuff? or preventing it?
[03:47] <bigfoot1> onkarshinde: good!
[03:47] <freebse> bigfoot1: no, he can install stat. linked executable files and run them from there... like sh (any downloaded file)...
[03:47] <CFNinja> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation/OldWorldMacs  2/3 the way explains bootx is needed for the live cd on older macs
[03:47] <brosioz> how can i add
[03:47] <brosioz> user nobody ?
[03:47] <brosioz> on ubuntu ?
[03:48] <distrojunkie> SilentJ: does it have nvidia graphics?
[03:48] <Thug-N-Me> brosioz same as on any other linux distro ....
[03:48] <onkarshinde> bigfoot1: Dapper is going to be tageted towards corporate environments.
[03:48] <Frogzoo> bigfoot1: you can restrict admin access - but as I say, if people have physical access, they can boot single user - there's a couple of ways to stop this though - one is to use encrypted file systems, the other is to run tripwire regularly
[03:48] <sorush20> brosioz: you can use a gui of a terminal.. for terminal just do sudo adduser
[03:48] <onkarshinde> brosioz: I think it is already there
[03:48] <threeseas> how do I reconfigure ubuntu? from the shell
[03:48] <LinuxJones> bigfoot1, you can get around that fairly easily though, a number of ways. like I said Gnome 2.16 will have features for locking down the system and preventing users access to things like terminals etc...
[03:48] <brosioz> adduser nobody ?
[03:48] <shane__> so dapper isen't going to be for the typical home user?
[03:48] <xgltest> threeseas, the ip ?
[03:49] <threeseas> the system
[03:49] <Thug-N-Me> threeseas reconfigure what ?
[03:49] <xgltest> threeseas, like apt-get ?
[03:49] <triablo_> xgltest, everything is ok, just I want to know my IP adress because I have internet access throught cable.
[03:49] <Frogzoo> onkarshinde: oh goodie!
[03:49] <xukun> is there somehting wrong with the ubuntu sources.list? I,m getting a lot of failed to fetch errors
[03:49] <bigfoot1> Frogzoo: physical access to the pc box?
[03:49] <Frogzoo> triablo_: ifconfig
[03:49] <threeseas> I'm stuck in a sheel that is limited, can't get it to boot into the GUI
[03:49] <LinuxJones> shane__, sure it is but the admin will have a more fine grained control over what other users can do on the system.
[03:49] <xgltest> triablo_, try ifconfig eth0
[03:49] <bigfoot1> LinuxJones: good to hear!
[03:50] <xgltest> triablo_, unless you use wifi or have several network cards
[03:50] <Frogzoo> bigfoot1: if they can boot a CD or floppy, they can get root access
[03:50] <shane__> oh ok
[03:50] <Thug-N-Me> threeseas your x server inst set up properly
[03:50] <threeseas> Thug-N-Me: probably
[03:50] <bigfoot1> Frogzoo: but isnt't there a way to get the computer to only boot from harddrive? or maybe there's a way to be able to boot from cd or floppy only after you enter the passtword.
[03:50] <sorush20> triablo_:  inet addr: is the server you are connected to and
[03:50] <dade> hello! can someone help me with my laptop?
[03:51] <Thug-N-Me> threeseas it should work by default actually .. what did you change last ?
[03:51] <defrysk> !someone
[03:51] <ubotu> probably 90% of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? <hint>
[03:51] <defrysk> !helpme
[03:51] <ubotu> If you don't actually ask a question, we can not actually help you.
[03:51] <kevor> Hmm when aptgetting, files i get: 403 forbidden
[03:52] <sorush20> triablo_: here is your ip address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[03:52] <threeseas> Thug-N-Me: some time ago I tried some script that was suppose to set it up to compile AROS source code, that script scred it up
[03:52] <Frogzoo> bigfoot1: depends on how l33t your users are - for instance, consider - there's no lock that will keep out an expert locksmith
[03:52] <threeseas> the main line I believe, was dpkg-reconfigure locals
[03:52] <kevor> W: Kan http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gnome-libs/libgnomesupport0_1.4.2-20_i386.deb niet ophalen
[03:52] <dade> my problem is that three hardware components are not working: 1)usb hub 2) ethernet (sis 900) 3) AC97
[03:52] <threeseas> but it says locals is not now loaded
[03:52] <kevor> what's up with this?
[03:52] <penguin42> my mozilla is repeatedly segging on www.iee.org ; is this just my setup or does it happen for everyone? (I suspect the flash plugin - but I dont think it used to happen)
[03:53] <dade> !helpme
[03:53] <ubotu> If you don't actually ask a question, we can not actually help you.
[03:53] <penguin42> dade: You say the usb hub doesnt work - does any USB you have work?
[03:53] <onkarshinde> dade: what problems exactly?
[03:53] <kevor> !helpme forbidden 403
[03:53] <ubotu> kevor: My cat's name is Mittens! Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[03:53] <sorush20> dede: unless any one here has had the same problem as you day can't help you .. but wait and see..
[03:54] <Frogzoo> penguin42: works fine on ff1.5 for me
[03:54] <defrysk> penguin42, sure you are not spamming a website ?
[03:54] <penguin42> defrysk: ?
[03:54] <dade> penguin: no, whenever i attach a USB peripheral, nothing happens
[03:54] <penguin42> Frogzoo: Do you have flash plugin?
[03:54] <Frogzoo> penguin42: indeed I do
[03:55] <penguin42> Frogzoo: Hmm - mozilla seems to get itself into holes like this from time to time
[03:55] <nico8481> hmm is there some kind of "metapackage" for codecs stuff (mp3...?) coz for whatever reason i can't get rhythmbox to play FLAC... :-/
[03:55] <penguin42> Frogzoo: Thanks for trying
[03:55] <dade> onkar: the probelm is that the hardware i mentioned doesn't work under ubuntu, so no sound, no ethernet (!!!) and no USB (!!!)
[03:55] <chuckyp> !tell nico8481 about restricted
[03:55] <onkarshinde> dade: What kind of device? Try 'lsusb' so see if you see device listed
[03:55] <Thug-N-Me> threeseas so your x server doesnt start ?
[03:55] <dade> onkar: i try immediately
[03:56] <kevor> Can anybody help me, i can't install anything, i get an error that the files are not found or forbidden (404 or 403)
[03:56] <penguin42> kevor: When you do what? An apt-get or upgrade?
[03:56] <Thug-N-Me> threeseas try start x from a diffrent terminal " ctrl + alt + F1" ... and look for the logs
[03:56] <gazanfer> my winxp partition is at hda5 (or it seems so). what should i write for root at grub configuration file?
[03:56] <kevor> penguin42: install something with synaptic
[03:56] <Frogzoo> penguin42: which flash do you use though? I use flashplugin-nonfree
[03:57] <sorush20> gazanfer: I think there is a really good wiki on ubuntu..
[03:57] <sorush20> !grub
[03:57] <ubotu> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/GrubHowto or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows or troubleshooting grub: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Troubleshooting
[03:57] <penguin42> kevor: Do you need to use a proxy or anything like that to get to the net?
[03:57] <kevor> penguin42: nothing, and it has always worked
[03:57] <onkarshinde> gazanfer: In /boot/grub/menu.lst you will find example configuration
[03:57] <penguin42> Frogzoo: I think I probably have a manually installed one - I'll give that a go
[03:58] <Thug-N-Me> kevor what about browsing ?
[03:58] <penguin42> kevor: OK, from a root command line try    apt-get update
[03:59] <GFDL> penguin42, why from a root command line?
[03:59] <nico8481> chuckyp, yeah i know about that but i mean it's a pain in the *** to install all that things one by one... i thought there was a metapackage or something (with a name like "easy-something")?
[03:59] <pab1> is there any way to access a printer that is hooked up to a windows machine with linux?
[03:59] <penguin42> GFDL: Or a sudo - just as root
[03:59] <onkarshinde> pab1: samba
[03:59] <penguin42> pab1: Yeh you should be able to print to it if Windows shares it
[03:59] <slank> Hello! I've got a question...who pays for the free CDs that Ubuntu ships for free? I assume it's donations, but it's not actually stated anywhere on the website that I can find.
[03:59] <GFDL> penguin42, that's better
[03:59] <Healot> easy-source?
[04:00] <Frogzoo> !sabdfl
[04:00] <ubotu> rumour has it, sabdfl is Mark Shuttleworth, cosmonaut and founder of Canonical and Ubuntu
[04:00] <dade> onkar: lsusb yelds bus 003, 002, 001 device 001 for all these 3 devices and ID 0000:0000 for all the three
[04:00] <pab1> onkarshinde: the printer is on the windows box :)
[04:00] <onkarshinde> slank: Canonical Limited
[04:00] <GFDL> slack_prad, mr. shuttleworth himself, he is a millionaire
[04:00] <GFDL> slack_prad, he has enough money to burn
[04:00] <pab1> penguin42: really?  nothing special required eh?
[04:00] <onkarshinde> pab1: Oops. I think Samba works for reverse thing.
[04:00] <pab1> ya hehe
[04:00] <chuckyp> http://www.linuxtoday.com/it_management/2006031201326NWDBDT
[04:00] <dade> onkar: when i try to attach say a mouse lsusb freezes
[04:00] <penguin42> dade: Now plug something in
[04:00] <Healot> slank, they are evil organizations donating to ubuntu, just kidding
[04:00] <kbrooks> GFDL, craziness.
[04:00] <airmikey> breezy sees my 1.1 usb port but not my 2.0 usb port...how do i fix this ?
[04:01] <penguin42> pab1: Well there is a thing called samba that does it - I'm just assuming Ubuntu has it preinstalled
[04:01] <pab1> doh
[04:01] <sorush20> whyami: did you manage to fix things up?
[04:01] <onkarshinde> dade: Never geard of such problem with USB ever.
[04:01] <pab1> penguin42: i want to do the reverse of what smb does
[04:01] <dade> penguin: done: lsusb just crashes
[04:01] <dade> !
[04:01] <ubotu> dade: parse error: Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[04:01] <slack_prad> GFDL huh?
[04:01] <pab1> penguin42: printer plugged to windows box
[04:01] <penguin42> pab1: Yeh - just go to administration->printing, add a printer, select network printer->windows printer
[04:01] <GFDL> slack_prad, huh what
[04:02] <pab1> penguin42: hm ill try
[04:02] <slack_prad> GFDL were you saying something to me?
[04:02] <GFDL> slack_prad, yes
[04:02] <slank> onkarshinde: Shouldn't that be in the FAQ? Seems like a missed marketing opp at the very least :)
[04:02] <penguin42> pab1: Samba actually covers the sins of both directions of working with Windows
[04:02] <Healot> airmikey, do "modprobe ehci_hcd", if it returns without error, then your USB 2.0 should be fine
[04:02] <jono> hi all
[04:03] <slack_prad> GFDL didn't get it
[04:03] <airmikey> ok ill try tat
[04:03] <jono> there is an ubuntu init script for adding extra programs that be started at boot - what is it?
[04:03] <jono> like a local init script
[04:03] <GFDL> slack_prad, it's OK don't worrz
[04:03] <GFDL> worry
[04:03] <Healot> btw, ehci_hcd is the thing that enables full speed USB 2.0
[04:03] <slack_prad> GFDL :/
[04:04] <dade> okarshinde: yes, but I actually have that problem: my USB seems dead!
[04:04] <onkarshinde> slank: I don't understand how it is Marketing opp?
[04:04] <Frogzoo> jono: update-rc.d  or 'bum' perhaps
[04:04] <airmikey> Healot: Module ehci not found.
[04:04] <slack_prad> anyone have any ideas on the ubuntu Certification that's coming up?
[04:04] <penguin42> dade: So if you plugin another USB device does lsusb change?
[04:04] <sorush20> onkarshinde: linux has been around and running like this for years..
[04:05] <dade> so guys, what do I do? lsusb freezes everytime I type the command...
[04:05] <slickeddie> thanx for all the help guys, i got it installed.
[04:05] <Healot> "modprobe ehci_hcd" >> did you miss anything. airmikey
[04:05] <kevor> penguin42: still not working
[04:05] <sorush20> onkarshinde: simple supply and demand,, like a charity..
[04:05] <dade> penguin: no lsusb doesn't print anythig after i connected that mouse
[04:05] <Frogzoo> slack_prad: linkie pls?
[04:05] <LinuxJones> jono, you can use /etc/rcS.d/5bootmisc.sh
[04:06] <penguin42> dade: Freezes?  Every time?   Does it matter which of your many USB ports you plug the mouse into?
[04:06] <airmikey> yeap sorry
[04:06] <onkarshinde> sorush20: But some projects like GNOME receive industry funding.
[04:06] <Frogzoo> slack_prad: oh, here we go... https://wiki.kubuntu.org/EngineerCertification
[04:06] <slank> onkarshinde: Well, publicity for the organisation. In any case, I was surprised not to find that info on the website. I would think it was important to know who's money you're getting when you order the CDs.
[04:06] <dade> penguin: i've tried only with one port!
[04:06] <LinuxJones> jono, err make that /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
[04:06] <slack_prad> or better : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EngineerCertification
[04:06] <dade> penguin: i reboot and try another
[04:06] <kbrooks> lol
[04:06] <penguin42> kevor: Have a look at your /etc/apt/sources.list   and see which mirror it points to  - then see if you can get to it in a browser
[04:07] <sorush20> onkarshinde: well you get what you ask for and you don't get what you don't ask for.. if you want have your say just check out #ubuntu-meetings and ask when meeting is best to talk about this..
[04:07] <slack_prad> are they trying to compete with the RHCE ?
[04:07] <slack_prad> sounds so commercial to me :/
[04:07] <Zardiac> I have my camera working.. and I wonder if you guys know a software wheere I can have vieo conversation with windoes users.. (I can nto use amsn because I am runnign xgl)
[04:08] <sorush20> kevor: make a new source list with source-o-matic
[04:08] <penguin42> Zardiac: Try   gnomemeeting
[04:08] <kevor> penguin42: http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ are you able to view this file?

[04:08] <airmikey> Heatlot:gonna reboot to turn 2.0 port back on
[04:08] <kbrooks> windows is a sin.
[04:08] <lck1> why ubuntu+X+gnome starts acting dumb after 2 days of uptime?
[04:08] <onkarshinde> sorush20: I didn't start the topic. I am not this new to Linux. I have been using Linux for about four years now.
[04:08] <predius_> sssis there a way to mount .bin files? just as isos?
[04:09] <sorush20> onkarshinde: okay
[04:09] <penguin42> kevor: No, it should be   http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
[04:09] <kbrooks> REPEAT: ANYONE WHO USES WINDOWS IS SINFUL
[04:09] <kbrooks> MICROSOFT IS SINFUL FOR CREATING WINDOWS
[04:09] <onkarshinde> kbrooks: No debates on this channel please.
[04:09] <Frogzoo> slack_prad: certification is where the whole industry's headed...
[04:09] <IdleOne> kbrooks>  caps off please and no microsoft bashing either :)

[04:10] <brosioz> i get this in syslogd :\
[04:10] <brosioz> anyone can help me to resolve ?
[04:10] <Healot> brosioz, use pastebin for logs
[04:10] <penguin42> brosioz: Are you running that as root?
[04:10] <brosioz> yes
[04:11] <penguin42> brosioz: Do you have another tftp server running?
[04:11] <recon00> "sudo apt-get install blackbox" isn't working for me. See http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10061. Any help?
[04:11] <alapzaj_> I have problem with radeon mobility 7500 and fglrx! Can give me a help or a good how-to?
[04:11] <slack_prad> Frogzoo: the certification would certainly bring ubuntu into mainstream
[04:11] <kevor> penguin42: i guess they have shut down the update servers... time for gentoo now i guess, this is bs.. pure bs
[04:11] <marlun_> If I've got ssh running (hanging) in terminal 1, how can I kill it from another terminal?
[04:11] <penguin42> slack_prad: I'm not sure - certification doesnt really do anything for me
[04:11] <penguin42> marlun_: Try typing ~.  into the failing one
[04:11] <slack_prad> Frogzoo: but it feels like it is being, you know, commercialed
[04:11] <brosioz> sure not
[04:12] <brosioz> i doesn't bind to 21
[04:12] <brosioz> port :|
[04:12] <penguin42> kevor: No! Just make it   /ubuntu on the end of that URL
[04:12] <recon00> Can anybody help me with http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10061 ?
[04:12] <slack_prad> commercialized
[04:12] <Frogzoo> brosioz: what the hell are you running tftp on port 21 for? 69 usually...
[04:12] <LinuxJones> marlun_, sudo killall servicename
[04:12] <onkarshinde> recon00: It is conflicting with fluxbox. Not your fault
[04:12] <marlun_> penguin42: nothing happends.
[04:12] <sorush20> alapzaj_: i take is you have read the wiki on the ATI how to ?
[04:12] <sorush20> !ATI
[04:12] <ubotu> from memory, ati is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI or http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24557&page=1&pp=10 or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=423589
[04:12] <marlun_> LinuxJones: thanks, will try.
[04:12] <sophtpaw> SWAT: u there?
[04:12] <recon00> onkarshinde: Is it safe to overwrite?
[04:12] <ompaul> Frogzoo, people use different ports to walk around security
[04:12] <brosioz> Frogzoo: maybe dhclient
[04:12] <brosioz> ?
[04:12] <jono> cheers
[04:13] <kevor> penguin42: this is not the first time this happens, in some hours i'm possebly possible to dl the updates..
[04:13] <dade> penguin: the story is the same even if I change the usb port i plug my device into: lsusb freezes
[04:13] <kbrooks> ompaul, thats security thru obscurity
[04:13] <vader> I givue up on it for now.......been going on it too long, maybe I will see my problem with fresh eyes
[04:13] <onkarshinde> recon00: Not sure. Never used fluxboz or blackbox
[04:13] <Frogzoo> brosioz: well kill off whatever ftpd you have running & try again
[04:13] <penguin42> kevor: It sounds to me like your source.list is just wrong
[04:13] <kbrooks> ompaul, anyone WILL EVENTUALLY find the port
[04:13] <slack_prad> penguin42 when there's a certification for something ... it does add 'value' to ubuntu
[04:13] <ompaul> kbrooks, concur, you build a high wall and people want to know how to walk around it
[04:13] <penguin42> slack_prad: Hmm
[04:13] <sorush20> recon00: i'm having the same problem..
[04:14] <kevor> penguin42: my source.list has been "right" for half a year now :P
[04:14] <slack_prad> penguin42 like all those MCSE exams
[04:14] <slack_prad> ;)
[04:14] <penguin42> slack_prad: Hmm
[04:14] <recon00> onkarshinde: sorush20: since fluxbox is based on blackbox, i'm gonna use --overwrite and take my chances.
[04:14] <slack_prad> penguin42: hmm = thinking?
[04:14] <sorush20> recon00: oaky
[04:14] <penguin42> kevor: It sounds wrong now!  Or perhaps the .nl guys moved it; just go and fix it to point to the right URLs
[04:14] <penguin42> slack_prad: No - hmm as in not quite believing it
[04:15] <oasick> hi
[04:15] <sophtpaw> Hoping someone can help me: installed Dapper on my partition apparently, but since then Breezy has been acting up. Can someone help me sort this out, please?
[04:15] <sorush20> hi
[04:15] <slack_prad> penguin42 so you're saying it won't add any value
[04:15] <sorush20> oasick: hi

[04:18] <sophtpaw> hello, can someone help me please?
[04:18] <IdleOne> !someone
[04:18] <ubotu> probably 90% of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? <hint>
[04:18] <penguin42> airmikey: if you do an lspci do you see a line that talks about 'ehci' ?
[04:18] <sorush20> sophtpaw: what is the problem?
[04:18] <sophtpaw> welll i did post my question more thanonce
[04:18] <IdleOne> ppd join #ubuntu+1 for help with Dapper :) and pie !
[04:18] <sophtpaw> so i'm not part of that 9%
[04:18] <sophtpaw> 90%
[04:19] <bicky> wow, this must be the most fullest channel I've ever seen
[04:19] <prateep> hi, i'm not sure if this is the right place for this but i've just upgraded to Dapper and now I can't get sound to work.   Any assistance would be much appreciated
[04:19] <Frogzoo> sophtpaw: if you installed dapper onto the same partition as breezy, you are in for a world of hurt
[04:19] <sorush20> bicky: I saw if once in the 700
[04:19] <LinuxJones> bicky, tell all your friends ;)
[04:19] <sophtpaw> Fogzoo, i'm hoping i didn't
[04:19] <IdleOne> prateep>  join #ubuntu+1 for help with Dapper :) and pie !
[04:19] <triablo_> How to fix this: configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH ??????
[04:19] <chuckyp> IdleOne, pie?
[04:19] <sophtpaw> but i need help to check out whether i did or not
[04:19] <bicky> IdleOne = thotter ?
[04:19] <airmikey> penguin42: nope
[04:19] <LinuxJones> triablo_, install the build-essential package
[04:19] <dade> i don't think i'll go through this USB, ethernet and AC97 problems so...i'll format partition and give space back to windows. Thanks for help anyway
[04:19] <sorush20> sophtpaw: remind us
[04:20] <IdleOne> triablo_>  sudo apt-get install build-essential
[04:20] <IdleOne> chuckyp>  yeah pie is good !
[04:20] <penguin42> airmonkey: Oh

[04:20] <sophtpaw> like Frogzoo says, i installed Dapper on possibly a breezy partition. Ever since breezy has been acting up

[04:22] <bicky> pinguin does ubuntu runs stable on your pc ?
[04:22] <penguin42> bicky: Yes
[04:22] <bicky> ... I cant get mine stable :'(
[04:22] <Frogzoo> sophtpaw: well that looks promising - if it had said dapper it'd all be over
[04:22] <sophtpaw> sorush20: i installed Dapper yesterday, on my spare partition, or so i thought. Ever since i've got problems with Breezy, which leads me to suspect i might have made a mistake with the Dapper insallation
[04:22] <penguin42> bicky: Any particular problems?
[04:23] <LinuxJones> AUCI, what is wrong ?
[04:23] <sophtpaw> Frogzoo: phew, ok, what next?
[04:23] <bicky> penguin: yes, I think it's something in the bios, only win98 wants to run a bit stable on my pc
[04:23] <Frogzoo> sophtpaw: is that all your partitions?
[04:23] <sophtpaw> Frogzoo: i did fdisk -l
[04:23] <penguin42> bicky: Run a ram test (memtest86) on it over night and see if it is happy
[04:23] <recon00> gnomefreak: Just one more question: I'm looking for a file viewer to use in fluxbox. for example: konquerer is to KDE as nautilus is to GNOME as ? is to fluxbox.
[04:23] <Frogzoo> sophtpaw: pastebin?
[04:23] <sophtpaw> can i send it in the pastebin
[04:23] <sophtpaw> ok
[04:24] <chuckyp> !paste
[04:24] <ubotu> Don't flood the channel! Please use the pastebin at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ or the channel #flood to paste large amount of text.
[04:24] <sophtpaw> havent done it before do i just put your name in?
[04:24] <sorush20> sophtpaw: personally I would not upgrade to dapper because I'm happy with what I have at the moment.. and since its got bugs still.. and I don't know how they are going to fix the hotplug system
[04:24] <chuckyp> sophtpaw, your name doesn't matter just post thne copy the url
[04:24] <Frogzoo> sophtpaw: just post the URL back here when you're done

[04:24] <chuckyp> sophtpaw, if you are trying to upgrade to dapper you should be in #ubuntu+1
[04:25] <penguin42> AUCI: Odd - is your disc full - or been full recently?
[04:25] <sophtpaw> Frogzoo: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10067
[04:25] <sorush20> sophtpaw: your name would be good so that you could search and find your posts quickly..
[04:25] <Frogzoo> sophtpaw: the point is, you need to check for each partition you haven't written dapper over breezy - ie / /etc /home ...
[04:26] <sophtpaw> chuckyp: not upgrading breezy to dapper; i wanted to have kubuntu on my other half, while keeping breezy as it was till the formal full release
[04:26] <AUCI> no, i did have some problems and use fsck.
[04:26] <Frogzoo> sophtpaw: looks like you have breezy on hda1 & dapper on hda2 - this should be fine (in a perfect world)
[04:27] <sorush20> bye guys got to go..
[04:27] <sophtpaw> sorush20: is that better; http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10068
[04:27] <ompaul> AUCI, try >>sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop<< as a command line
[04:27] <ompaul> AUCI, does the box come up at all?
[04:27] <AUCI> hmm nice Ill try it
[04:27] <Frogzoo> sophtpaw: is this a lappie? are you using suspend?
[04:28] <sophtpaw> Frogzoo: yes, that was what was intended breezy on hda1 & dapper(kubuntu) on hda2 - exactly. So, what could be the problem?
[04:28] <bicky> penguin: I ran a ram test lately and there's no problems with that,.. you dont think it's in the bios ?
[04:28] <sophtpaw> lappie; suspend?
[04:28] <david64> Hye evrybdy, is smbdy run laszlo system under linux?
[04:28] <wonder> hello, i have got a problem with installing the nvidia gfx card driver. i removed the ubuntu driver and grabbed the driver from nvidias website. i run the installer and everything works fine. after restarting gdm i get my graphical interface. BUT.... when rebooting the xserver is unable to start. it complains about having loaded a different kernel module then needed. when i reinstall the nvidia driver it works for the session but after re
[04:28] <wonder> boot x won't start agian.
[04:28] <AUCI> yes, when im installing the updates is when I recieve this error about nautilus
[04:28] <Frogzoo> sophtpaw: laptop & suspend to disk (which might be a problem with swap shared between installs)
[04:28] <sophtpaw> i'm using a pc desktop?
[04:29] <LinuxJones> wonder, stick with the ubuntu version and add nvidia to the /etc/modules file.
[04:29] <ompaul> AUCI, just try that and maybe before that - >>sudo apt-get update<< first
[04:29] <wonder> LinuxJones: i have got nvidia in /etc/modules
[04:29] <penguin42> bicky: Well it could be - but I'd only trust memtest86 overnight for a good ram test - you could have a heat problem or the like - its a bit difficult to tell
[04:29] <SpookyET> hi
[04:29] <ompaul> AUCI, I take it you are not on dapper
[04:29] <AUCI> I did that and i got critical errors
[04:29] <sophtpaw> Frogzoo:  i thought one swap was sufficient for two installs to share - its not been a problem before. Is it better to have separate swaps for each install?
[04:30] <SpookyET> Rhythmbox is driving me nuts.  It keeps crashing.
[04:30] <LinuxJones> wonder, but it only works once it's been initially installed but not after ?
[04:30] <AUCI> can I boot from the ubuntu cd and repair?
[04:30] <kbrooks> sophtpaw, there is no norm.
[04:30] <sophtpaw> kbrooks: ok, recommended?
[04:30] <penguin42> right; Futurama calls
[04:30] <Frogzoo> sophtpaw: it's fine - just not sure if suspend to disk would have a problem
[04:30] <kbrooks> but you might as well use 1 swap for multiple distros
[04:30] <orangizer> hi
[04:31] <ompaul> AUCI, not yet start here >>apt-get -f update<<
[04:31] <sophtpaw> Frogzoo: if Dapper is indeed on hda2 then there would be no way for it to infect hda1, right?
[04:31] <Frogzoo> sophtpaw: but as you're not using suspend to disk - it's a non issue
[04:31] <AUCI> ill try it
[04:31] <bicky> penguin: it isn't a heat problem, it's also unstable when I boot ubuntu at the first computer start up of the day
[04:31] <SpookyET> can anyone tell me where the rhythmbox error log is?
[04:31] <ompaul> AUCI, -f is your friend, did you by any chance use any tools to help you "improve" on your install
[04:32] <Frogzoo> sophtpaw: in a perfect world, no - but then what messed your menus up? dapper looks like the only culprit ?
[04:32] <ompaul> sophtpaw, in 9,999 out of 10,000 cased you should be okay
[04:32] <dan> how do i access my Windows partitions A
[04:32] <bicky> mount it
[04:32] <ompaul> !tell dan about ntfs
[04:32] <ompaul> dan, read the note from the bot
[04:33] <sophtpaw> Frogzoo: exactly, what did mess the menus up. All started with wineExplorer crashing
[04:33] <dan> how do i access my Windows partitions as it says that i do not have permisson to open it - i am the only person and account who uses it and they are mounted
[04:33] <sophtpaw> ompaul: that is a 0.01% chance?
[04:33] <gnomefreak> dan: sudo
[04:33] <SpookyET> Is there a way to tell rhythmbox to use sqlite instead of xml to store the library?
[04:33] <dan> sudo?
[04:34] <bicky> it gives you privileges
[04:34] <dan> how do i do that?
[04:34] <ompaul> sophtpaw, you could strike it lucky :-/
[04:34] <bicky> just put sudo in front of you mount command
[04:34] <Frogzoo> ompaul: what if the install uses volume labels instead of device names? that could be a problem in some places
[04:34] <sophtpaw> i wish i was that lucky, i'd play the lottery now
[04:34] <bicky> like: sudo mount /dev/hda1 /windows
[04:35] <Ironhand> could someone give me some pointers to package names and/or documents that are relevant for managing a network of identical Ubuntu-based workstations?
[04:35] <ompaul> dan, the bot sent you a URL with full instructions on how to do that
[04:36] <Frogzoo> sophtpaw: only way to really know what's going on is mount hda2 & check dapper is actually installed there - I take it grub lets you boot hda2 ?
[04:36] <AUCI> yep not on dapper, Im just a newbie on Linux, I like it but like with all things i need to have patience, because im screwing up every couple of days .lol
[04:36] <kbrooks> AUCI, screwing up how? heh
[04:36] <sophtpaw> Frogzoo: tried sudo mount /dev/hda2 but the command don't work, Which is the right command please?
[04:37] <Frogzoo> sophtpaw: sudo mkdir /mnt; sudo mount /dev/hda2 /mnt
[04:37] <sophtpaw> mount: can't find /dev/hda2 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[04:37] <bicky> open fstab and put the info about /dev/hda2 in there
[04:39] <sophtpaw> Frogzoo: sudo mkdir /mnt
[04:39] <sophtpaw> mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt': File exists
[04:39] <maihem> I've just tried to test accessibility support in Dapper, and after enabling it then logging out and in again, my gnome desktop won't start. nor will a failsafe gnome - or any gnome programs from under enlightenment.
[04:39] <sophtpaw> ?
[04:39] <maihem> Does anybody know how to disable accessibility from the commandline?
[04:39] <Frogzoo> sophtpaw: cool, just 'sudo mount /dev/hda2 /mnt'
[04:39] <GTX> maihem, #ubuntu+1
[04:40] <sophtpaw> that didn' twork either
[04:40] <Frogzoo> sophtpaw: cool, just 'sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hda2 /mnt'
[04:40] <maihem> GTK?
[04:40] <maihem> GTX?
[04:40] <LoPMX> eeehaaa
[04:40] <ompaul> AUCI, you mentioned fsck - why was it run? also if your getting used to reinstalling, you could consider a reinstall before you alter anything come back to us and we can help you a lot to do things right, saves on learning by breaking time :-)
[04:40] <LoPMX> running xchat on windows ;]
[04:41] <GTX> maihem, no dapper support in here. only beezy
[04:41] <maihem> oh
[04:41] <ompaul> maihem, dapper is in channel #ubuntu+1
[04:41] <heyjoe2> when trying to open an avi file in totem, i only get the sound, not the picture. is it a dodgy cd burn or is it ubuntu?
[04:41] <sophtpaw> Frogzoo: sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hda2 /mnt
[04:41] <sophtpaw> mount: /dev/hda2 already mounted or /mnt busy
[04:41] <sophtpaw> mount: according to mtab, /dev/hda2 is already mounted on /mnt
[04:41] <AUCI> thanks ill do that
[04:41] <AUCI> thanks for your time, I really appreciated it
[04:41] <max300> whats the string to install a dpkg after you cd it?
[04:41] <bicky> sophtpaw unmount it, and remount it then
[04:42] <Frogzoo> sophtpaw: & you're sure you didn't already mount hda2 on /mnt ?
[04:42] <sophtpaw> no, i'm not sure i didn't already -   i may have.
[04:42] <heyjoe2> when trying to open an avi file in totem, i only get the sound, not the picture. is it a dodgy cd burn or is it ubuntu?
[04:42] <Frogzoo> sophtpaw: cat /mnt/etc/issue
[04:43] <max300> how do i install a deb pakage
[04:43] <Frogzoo> !deb
[04:43] <ubotu> To install a .deb file: sudo dpkg -i filename.deb  (but note that the program you want might be installable using !apt from the !repos)
[04:43] <lck1> how do you add a user and give it an admin access?
[04:43] <sophtpaw> Frogzoo: Ubuntu 6.04 "Dapper Drake" Development Branch \n \l
[04:43] <bicky> any1 here got this combo: epox EP-8KTA3 with AMD athlon thunderbird 1400mghz ?? =P
[04:43] <warpzone> hey guys, having a strange problem. My sudo command doesn't work at all. Any command following 'sudo' does nothing.
[04:44] <Jemt> Greetz. I have and old IBM laptop which I want to install Ubuntu onto. But all I got is a non-bootable CD-ROM drive. It works fine from Windows95 though. Is there some way I can boot the Ubuntu installer from Windows?
[04:44] <heyjoe2> now ubuntu isnt opening my cd rom? can i make it from terminal?
[04:44] <max300> thx
[04:44] <Jemt> heyjoe2: You need to umount the drive
[04:44] <Frogzoo> sophtpaw: ls -ld /mnt/home/USER/.*
[04:44] <Jemt> heyjoe2: Running Gnome?
[04:44] <heyjoe2> jemt: yep
[04:45] <kbrooks> here is a (slightly offtopic) question: why would anyone want the "latest" version of anything (e.g. Xorg 7 instead of a older Xorg version)?
[04:45] <Jemt> heyjoe2: Right click on the drive on your desktop and choose 'eject'
[04:45] <Frogzoo> kbrooks: for the old features & new bugs :)
[04:45] <lck1> how do you add a user and give it an admin access?
[04:45] <Jemt> kbrooks: To get the most recent features, yes
[04:45] <sophtpaw> Frogzoo:  ls -ld /mnt/home/USER/.*
[04:45] <sophtpaw> ls: /mnt/home/USER/.*: No such file or directory
[04:46] <Frogzoo> sophtpaw: well, USER should be your base user
[04:46] <dan> where would i find /etc/fstab   ?
[04:46] <heyjoe2> jemt: cheers
[04:46] <bicky> XD
[04:46] <heyjoe2> when trying to open an avi file in totem, i only get the sound, not the picture. is it a dodgy cd burn or is it ubuntu?
[04:46] <sophtpaw> what is base user? is that me?
[04:46] <bicky> dan: maybe in /etc :)
[04:46] <airmikey> how do i get breezy to detect anything plugged into my 2.0 usb port ?
[04:46] <Jemt> heyjoe2: Welcome :)
[04:46] <Frogzoo> dan: is this a trick question? who lies buried in Grant's tomb?
[04:47] <gargas> hwllo!i have a tv tuner card. how can i find if its compartible with linux and if yes how can i operate it?
[04:47] <dan> Frogzoo, no - where do i look for the ect folder?
[04:47] <Frogzoo> sophtpaw: yes, I mean you
[04:47] <dan> etc*
[04:47] <carl> need help system keeps crashing
[04:47] <gargas> hwllo!i have a tv tuner card. how can i find if its compartible with linux and if yes how can i operate it?
[04:47] <nubious> frog: cd /etc
[04:48] <lck1> does 'sudo' only work on ubuntu or all nix ?
[04:48] <zxcvbn> gargas, do you know the chipset it's based on?
[04:48] <bicky> people always told me that there are no dumb questions, but dan is getting near ;)
[04:48] <Frogzoo> dan: fstab is in the directory 'etc' - this directory can be found within '/'
[04:48] <nubious> I think sudo is an ubuntu thing
[04:48] <lck1> i know 'su' works on any nix
[04:48] <nubious> hey Gargas - have you tried the manufacturer's website?  what kinda tv tuner you got?
[04:48] <lck1> i don't know about sudo
[04:48] <nubious> <-- has a WinTV PVR-150
[04:48] <Frogzoo> nubious: sudo is a unix/linux thing - it's fairly general - might be posix? dunno
[04:48] <gargas> leadtek
[04:48] <nubious> really frogzoo?
[04:48] <nubious> hmm
[04:48] <GFDL> lck1, set a password for root and you can bypass the sudo stuff
[04:48] <sophtpaw> Frogzoo: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10073
[04:49] <nubious> I thought you had to SU into root
[04:49] <kbrooks> sudo works on all unix
[04:49] <lck1> ic
[04:49] <nubious> does it work on other linux tho?
[04:49] <nubious> or just unix
[04:49] <chuckyp> gargas, there is a lot of support for tv cards with ivtv drivers.
[04:49] <dan> bicky - sorry i jast have not got a clue what i am doing, last time i mounted my Hd i could access them fine but for some reason when i had to format my HD - and mounted the HDs i couldn get access to then
[04:49] <GFDL> I don't like sudo. I don't like to type sudo this, sudo that
[04:49] <GFDL> I want to du su ONCE
[04:49] <FenX> re
[04:49] <chuckyp> GFDL, then sudo passwd
[04:49] <GFDL> and then run the commands I need
[04:49] <nubious> I agree gfdl
[04:49] <zxcvbn> gah, i can't remember how to view the pci bus device information..
[04:49] <chuckyp> GFDL, and type a password for root.
[04:49] <GFDL> no I don't want to do sudo passwd
[04:50] <ron_> lol
[04:50] <nubious> ahahaha
[04:50] <chuckyp> lol
[04:50] <simo_> do u know where can  i find the artwork room?
[04:50] <max300> i installed cedega 5.2 but wen i try to open an exe with it it says to install a vertsion of cedega
[04:50] <GFDL> on my suse boxes I do su, redhat boxes I do su, debian boxes I do su
[04:50] <GFDL> not sudo
[04:50] <nubious> whats the apt-get install command to install the KDE environment?
[04:50] <gnomefreak> GFDL: sudo -i
[04:50] <Frogzoo> sophtpaw: well it's all there - doesn't look like anything's amiss really
[04:50] <GFDL> no no sudo
[04:50] <chuckyp> max300, #cedega
[04:50] <kbrooks> simo_, #ubuntu-art
[04:50] <ompaul> GFDL, then ubutus ways are not for you
[04:50] <eFfeM> GFDL: su bash
[04:50] <gnomefreak> GFDL: than use debian or redhat
[04:50] <kbrooks> or #ubuntu-artwork
[04:50] <simo_> thanks kbrooks
[04:50] <GFDL> you can change ubuntu to behave like a sane distribution
[04:50] <gargas> the drivers for the tv card are only for windows
[04:50] <chuckyp> GFDL, if you type sudo passwd its the last time you have to type sudo.
[04:50] <eFfeM> or sudo bash
[04:50] <carl> how do i install nvidia drivers?
[04:51] <GFDL> I never use sudo on my breezy or dapper systems
[04:51] <lck1> nubious,  sudo aptitude install kde ?
[04:51] <kbrooks> chuckyp, ubuntu way please!!!!!
[04:51] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell carl about nvidia
[04:51] <eFfeM> or once sudo bash then set the root passwd
[04:51] <chuckyp> !tell carl about nvidia
[04:51] <eFfeM> and use su
[04:51] <GFDL> I hate sudo
[04:51] <nubious> ubotu tell nubious about nvidia
[04:51] <ompaul> GFDL, I consider you trolling
[04:51] <kbrooks> GFDL, then dont use ubuntu.
[04:51] <triablo_> how to fix this: checking for GLIB - version >= 2.0.0...
[04:51] <triablo_> *** 'pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.10.1, but GLIB (2.8.3)
[04:51] <triablo_> *** was found! If pkg-config was correct, then it is best
[04:51] <triablo_> *** to remove the old version of GLib. You may also be able to fix the error
[04:51] <triablo_> *** by modifying your LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable, or by editing
[04:51] <triablo_> *** /etc/ld.so.conf. Make sure you have run ldconfig if that is
[04:51] <triablo_> *** required on your system.
[04:51] <sophtpaw> Frogzoo: well, that is good news i suppose. Just left wondering ovre the coincidence of wineExplorer crashing just after installing Dapper and my menus getting frozen too
[04:51] <triablo_> *** If pkg-config was wrong, set the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH
[04:51] <ompaul> triablo_, dont do that
[04:51] <triablo_> *** to point to the correct configuration files
[04:51] <ompaul> triablo_, STOP!
[04:51] <kbrooks> ompaul, whats a troll?
[04:51] <triablo_> k:(
[04:51] <chuckyp> kbrooks, why not let GFDL get rid of sudo like he wants. To ubuntu way is to customize to your liking.  Not to use sudo as the end all tool.
[04:51] <GFDL> why? I can use sudo and still use ubuntu
[04:51] <lck1> sometimes i just 'su' so i aint got to type sudo everytime
[04:51] <GFDL> I mean su
[04:51] <lck1> you know
[04:52] <chuckyp> GFDL, you can get rid of sudo also.
[04:52] <nubious> woah
[04:52] <chuckyp> GFDL, you can do what ever you like.
[04:52] <zxcvbn> gargas,  cat /proc/bus/pci/devices may give you some more detailed info about your card (i'm sure there is a better way, anyone?)
[04:52] <eFfeM> GFDL: only sudo once then do rm /usr/bin/sudo (and don't complain here afterwards)
[04:52] <kbrooks> ompaul, What is a troll?
[04:52] <gnomefreak> GFDL: using su screws with permissions for sudo that means the apps that need sudo password will not work
[04:52] <GFDL> I know, care to explain why do some folks claim "ubuntu is not for you" when I use ubuntu everyday but can't stand sudo?
[04:52] <heyjoe2> when trying to open an avi file in totem, i only get the sound, not the picture. is it a dodgy cd burn or is it ubuntu?
[04:52] <bicky> gaint ugly beast in fantasy worlds ;)
[04:52] <sophtpaw> Frogzoo: SWAT gave me a dpkg command earlier which came back with errors which hinted at a major problem, which isalso partly how this whole hunt began
[04:53] <ompaul> kbrooks, msg for u
[04:53] <zxcvbn> i use su. i set the sudo timeout to 0. :)
[04:53] <IdleOne> GFDL>  that is a perfect topic for #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:53] <nickrud> triablo_: you need to install libglib2.0-dev, but why are you compiling anyway?
[04:53] <GFDL> whatever
[04:53] <sophtpaw> so now still dont know if i've successfully removed wineExplorer completely so that i can create a fresh install
[04:53] <desousa2> hello :)
[04:53] <knubbe> anyone familiar with using Lucene?
[04:53] <kbrooks> GFDL, ...
[04:53] <elkbuntu|snoring> !troll http://www.psychocats.net/essays/linuxtroll.php
[04:53] <ubotu> What? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, elkbuntu|snoring
[04:54] <kbrooks> GFDL, join it please.
[04:54] <elkbuntu|snoring> hmm
[04:54] <elkbuntu|snoring> ooh
[04:54] <elkbuntu> !troll http://www.psychocats.net/essays/linuxtroll.php
[04:54] <ubotu> Some people juggle geese. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, elkbuntu
[04:54] <triablo_> nickrud, I downloaded beta2 gaim, and it is available only in source tar ball
[04:54] <sophtpaw> Frogzoo: do you, or anyone for that matter, know, how to check whether wineExplorer is completely wiped of the panet Breezy, please?
[04:54] <kbrooks> ompaul, "rude or offensive messages" -> how was his "rant" about sudo rude or offensive?
[04:55] <warpzone> speaking of sudo, my sudo command doesnt work at all. is there a way I can reinstall in?
[04:55] <Frogzoo> dpkg -r --purge wineExplorer
[04:55] <triablo_> nickrud, I installed Glib2 but the system doesnt recognize it :(
[04:55] <nickrud> triablo_: ok. you're gonna run into a bunch more errors like that, the simplest way to get past most of those will be sudo apt-get build-dep gaim
[04:55] <desousa2> im learning php on school but they only teach us how to set it all up (home server) in windows ... since i have only ubuntu could you teach me how to set it up? i already gone to Synaptic and instal php5 (wich installs other modules ) and php5-mysql
[04:55] <Frogzoo> warpzone: are you a member of group admin?
[04:56] <Tikurion> This question was probably asked hundrets of times, but anybody got an idea when (K)Ubuntu 6.04 will be released?
[04:56] <max300> -_- all #cedega are empty!!
[04:56] <ompaul> kbrooks, #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:56] <kbrooks> desousa2, no one will teach you.
[04:56] <zxcvbn> Tikurion, same time as duke nukem forever
[04:56] <kbrooks> desousa2, only *guide* you.
[04:56] <warpzone> Frogzoo: yup. the command is there, and I dont get any permission errors, just literally, nothing happens with any command following sudo
[04:56] <Tikurion> ;)
[04:56] <simo_> i'm working on a skin for xmms for the drake human theme, can you tell me what r u thinking about? http://membres.lycos.fr/floyd168/main.bmp
[04:56] <nickrud> triablo_: that will get the development files you're gonna need
[04:56] <desousa2> or guide me
[04:56] <Tikurion> So, I'll wait 'til it's done, thanks ^_^
[04:57] <oe1hoerer> hello everyone
[04:57] <zxcvbn> lol
[04:57] <Frogzoo> warpzone: any chance someone's playing funny games with you?
[04:57] <triablo_> nickrud, thanx
[04:57] <oe1hoerer> anyone tried to customze usplash on dapper?
[04:58] <warpzone> Frogzoo: nope. it's been like this since I installed. I've just been using 'su' instead
[04:58] <sophtpaw> Frogzoo:  sudo dpkg -r wineExplorer
[04:58] <sophtpaw> Password:
[04:58] <sophtpaw> dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 1382:
[04:58] <sophtpaw>  `inst!lled' is not allowed for third (status) word in `status' field
[04:59] <desousa2> any one to help me?
[04:59] <desousa2> im learning php on school but they only teach us how to set it all up (home server) in windows ... since i have only ubuntu could you help me how to set it up? i already gone to Synaptic and instal php5 (wich installs other modules ) and php5-mysql
[04:59] <heyjoe2> when trying to open an avi file in totem, i only get the sound, not the picture. is it a dodgy cd burn or is it ubuntu?
[05:00] <simo_> what do u thing about that?  http://membres.lycos.fr/floyd168/main.bmp
[05:00] <Frogzoo> sophtpaw: wow - that sucks
[05:01] <dan> i really cba to play around with it trying to get it working - if i reinstall linux and mount my partitions it should work right?
[05:01] <sophtpaw> Frogzoo: yeah, that how this whole enquiry started
[05:01] <zxcvbn> !tell zxcvbn about fonts
[05:01] <sophtpaw> Frogzoo: i don't know what it means, but looks like there is a problem with dpkg?
[05:01] <nickrud> sophtpaw: just above line 1382, what package is it referencing?
[05:02] <desousa2> heyjoe2, i have that problem to
[05:02] <desousa2> i install automatix
[05:02] <sophtpaw> nickrud: i don't understand. was trying to remove wineExplorer
[05:03] <desousa2> and it solved some problems
[05:03] <ompaul> !automatix
[05:03] <ubotu> somebody said automatix was unsafe, it overwrites configuration files, and does things like "echo -e 'ynYn'" that are considered risky. Please do not use it. There are alternative applications, but it's often best to read the documentation.
[05:03] <triablo_> nickrud, I installed the development files but it gives me the same error: Glib2.0 is required
[05:03] <bigfoot1> how come sound-converter's lowest bitrate is 64kbps? i'd like to do half of that.
[05:04] <sophtpaw> well, i'm stumped then
[05:05] <nickrud> triablo_: you could take a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompileGaim?highlight=%28gaim%29
[05:05] <sophtpaw> Frogzoo: is this the end of the line?
[05:05] <jaeek> can i upgrade to dapper from 5.10?
[05:05] <IdleOne> elkbuntu>  that was a good article in the spirit of Ubuntu :)
[05:05] <sophtpaw> nickrud: sorry i did n't understand your question
[05:05] <Drakonia> hello everyone
[05:05] <IdleOne> hello
[05:05] <elkbuntu> IdleOne, its not mine, but it's pretty good, describes it right down to a t
[05:05] <jaeek> howdy
[05:05] <bigfoot1> how can i downgrade a 164 kpbs mp3 to 32 kbps?
[05:06] <Drakonia> i have a g4 and downloaded the powerpc install iso for ubuntu on my PC
[05:06] <nickrud> sophtpaw: I'm dancing on the edge of what I know now, but you do need to fix that. I'd back up that status file, and make line 1382 have installed
[05:06] <IdleOne> elkbuntu>  I liked it and think it is a good article for a factoid
[05:06] <Gomez> #ubuntu-it
[05:06] <Drakonia> i burned the iso on cd and put that disc into my g4 but it doesn't load the install when the powerpc boots up
[05:06] <Drakonia> can anyone help?
[05:06] <Gomez> #debia-it
[05:06] <IdleOne> Drakonia>  reboot and hold the C key
[05:06] <Gomez> #debian-it
[05:06] <nickrud> sophtpaw: I think there's a way to automatically fix status files (I would hope, anyway) but don't know them.
[05:07] <IdleOne> Gomez>  /j #ubuntu-it
[05:07] <IdleOne> Drakonia>  holding the C will boot up from the cd
[05:07] <sophtpaw> nickrud: geez, well, if youre dancing at the edge; i'm freefalling over the precipice. This is now all way beyond me. so, looks like i'm fucked
[05:08] <IdleOne> sophtpaw>  looks like you may be in a ajm but not what you said . whatch the language please
[05:08] <nickrud> sophtpaw: if you're in that bad of shape, you have nothing to lose.
[05:08] <IdleOne> ajm=jam
[05:08] <Drakonia> just tried that... doesn't work (I get the ? folder icon because there is a winodws formatted HD in the g4 - i wanted to format that drive and use it on the g4 with a linux distro)
[05:08] <Drakonia> so again... holding c didn't work
[05:08] <balu1> hey guys
[05:08] <balu1> what is the terminal command, to edit xorg.conf
[05:09] <IdleOne> hmmm Drakonia  sorry I dont know more then that
[05:09] <Frogzoo> sophtpaw: the question is how badly corrupted is the file - might just be that one entry - try changing to 'installed' and try again
[05:09] <Frogzoo> !tell balu1 about xorg
[05:09] <balu1> ..
[05:09] <balu1> tnx
[05:09] <sophtpaw> Frogzoo: how do you mean 'changing' to installed?
[05:10] <balu1> ok, now how do i see a list of drivers that are supplied WITH ubuntu breezy
[05:10] <desousa2> !tell desousa2  about php5
[05:10] <nickrud> sophtpaw: one of the great things about linux is just about everything is a text file, so you could gksudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/status , and fix it
[05:10] <desousa2> !tell desousa2  about apache
[05:10] <scapor> How can I know the exact memory usage of 1 particular program with a shell command ?
[05:11] <Frogzoo> sophtpaw: in /var/lib/dpkg/status, line 1382, change 'inst!lled' to 'installed'
[05:11] <kbrooks> nickrud, not everything is a file
[05:11] <lck1> where can i find make.conf?
[05:11] <balu1> erm isnt there a better editor?
[05:11] <nickrud> kbrooks: I quote 'just about everything'
[05:12] <balu1> text editor* to edit w/
[05:12] <sophtpaw> nickrud: thx, nice idea. this is what happened? :       Failed to run gedit/var/lib/dpkg/status as user root:
[05:12] <sophtpaw>  Child terminated with 1 status
[05:12] <kbrooks> nickrud, you didnt.
[05:12] <kbrooks> gedit <file>
[05:13] <lck1> where can i find make.conf?
[05:13] <sophtpaw> sudo: gedit/var/lib/dpkg/status: command not found
[05:13] <desousa2> lckl whereis make.conf
[05:13] <desousa2> i think :P
[05:13] <Frogzoo>  sudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/status:
[05:13] <Frogzoo>  sudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/status
[05:13] <gnomefreak> kbrooks: nickrud is write anyfile can be opened as a text file
[05:13] <gnomefreak> right even
[05:14] <nuambenzina> how can I start the script debian-installer from ubuntoo live cd?
[05:14] <kbrooks> gnomefreak, not everything. you cant open fifos in a text file, for example.
[05:14] <tisuang> hello! i deleted kde menu icons. dummie. can someone tell me what I need to reinstall????
[05:15] <sophtpaw> Frogzoo:        : )  i figured it might be that. Already tried that, but the cursor is just flashing and i'm not getting the file?
[05:15] <nuambenzina> how can be ubuntu live cd installed on hdd ?
[05:15] <nuambenzina> can somebody help us ?
[05:15] <nuambenzina> :D
[05:15] <Frogzoo> sophtpaw: cat /var/lib/dpkg/status
[05:15] <nickrud> sophtpaw: are you in a root terminal? if so, you need to exit that one and run a normal one for gksudo/sudo to work
[05:16] <tisuang> I think it's not possible, nuambenzina
[05:16] <kbrooks> not on breezy, anyway.
[05:16] <gnomefreak> kbrooks: i dont have a fifos file ;)
[05:16] <kbrooks> *maybe* in dapper it will be
[05:16] <desousa2> is there any
[05:17] <gnomefreak> nuambenzina: for dapper you can not for breezy
[05:17] <desousa2> is there any ubuntu # for portugal? :P
[05:17] <warpzone> okay, I'm in the 'adm' and 'sudo' groups, but using 'sudo -i' returns 'Sorry, user warpzone may not run sudo on localhost.'
[05:17] <nuambenzina> it has to be possible
[05:17] <nuambenzina> ;)
[05:17] <warpzone> pardon, 'sudo -l'
[05:17] <gnomefreak> nuambenzina: it hasnt been tested alot so not sure if it works might wait till its released so it can have time for testing
[05:17] <ba> RTFM! everyone

[05:20] <GnarusLeo> Wich drivers should I use if I have a ATI R250 card? (Radeon 9000) ?
[05:20] <Frogzoo> sophtpaw: are you sure it's not a disk problem? check in /var/log/messages for warnings
[05:20] <SilentJ> Any ideas?
[05:20] <Xenguy> !tell SilentJ about paste
[05:20] <nickrud> nuambenzina: on breezy, it's not really possible to install from the livecd; the dapper release will
[05:20] <gnomefreak> SilentJ: don not paste in here i thought someone told you that already today
[05:20] <ba> SilentJ, i also have a dell laptop... did you repartition correctly?
[05:21] <SilentJ> umm
[05:21] <SilentJ> well
[05:21] <SilentJ> Ba
[05:21] <GnarusLeo> !tell GnarusLeo about ATI
[05:21] <SilentJ> i dont think so
[05:21] <SilentJ> haha
[05:21] <nickrud> sophtpaw: are you running X, or working from a text console (that would explain no gedit
[05:21] <tecs> fglrx
[05:21] <warpzone> okay, I'm in the 'adm' and 'sudo' groups, but using 'sudo -l' returns 'Sorry, user warpzone may not run sudo on localhost.' Is there another file I need to edit?
[05:21] <ba> hahaha SilentJ, you have to use a live disk
[05:21] <sophtpaw> nickrud: X of course
[05:21] <ba> lemme find it for you
[05:21] <SilentJ> I deleted the whole thing formated the entire partition and installed win xp and Xandros
[05:21] <SilentJ> I have the live disk
[05:21] <SilentJ> but it dosent work eather
[05:22] <sophtpaw> Frogzoo: sudo gedit/var/log/messages    ??
[05:22] <nickrud> sophtpaw: try sudo nano /var/lib/dpkg/status it's not as easy an editor, but it works inside a terminal
[05:22] <Frogzoo> sophtpaw: just 'less /var/log/messages'
[05:22] <ba> SilentJ, http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php get this live disk

[05:29] <tinus> nickrud: ah right ... np :)
[05:29] <LinuxJones> koin, one step at a time :)
[05:29] <balu1> mangau: not sure, isnt there like a grep something something.. it says if my openGL is hardware renderd or mesa rendered
[05:29] <balu1> gnarusleo:  whats wrong w/ ur card??

[05:29] <koin> koin

[05:33] <sophtpaw> oh, by the way, i changed breezy to the edubuntu desktop. Just thought that might have something to do with it all
[05:33] <jke> balu1: yeah, just me that is sloow :)
[05:33] <kaha> GnarusLeo: IIRC, I had to install xorg-fglrx when I had my radeon card, and then run (I believe it was) fglrxconfig. That got me 3D acceleration.
[05:33] <balu1> wats the diff w/ edubuntu?
[05:34] <sophtpaw> forgot about that- kubuntu Dapper might have been a redherring
[05:34] <nickrud> sophtpaw: nah, it's still breezy, just some more packages
[05:34] <balu1> kaha: what card did u have tho? its important if ur card is above 9300
[05:34] <sophtpaw> ok
[05:34] <LinuxJones> Can anyone who has used both thoggen and dvdrip comment on whether dvdrip is much faster than thoggen (which is brutaly slow) ?
[05:34] <GnarusLeo> kaha, ok, thanks!
[05:34] <balu1> kaha : because the same procedures working for 9300+ radeons, dont work for 9200-9000..

[05:41] <lord_zero> i have kubuntu and it doesn't see my network mainnboard
[05:41] <lord_zero> what can i do?
[05:41] <sophtpaw> * a little freaked out
[05:42] <Kikkertje> I, I have a HP 1500 COLOR LASERJET printer, it uses usb conection, but i can't find any drivers for ubuntu :s does someone has a clue?
[05:42] <lord_zero> but ubuntu sees my network mainboard
[05:42] <nickrud> balu1: you could try https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptopsToshiba
[05:42] <LinuxJones> lord_zero, do lspci in terminal and find out the make/model of your network card
[05:42] <Chousuke> Hmm.
[05:42] <balu1> nickrud: ill take a look
[05:42] <jean> hi
[05:42] <jean> how do i tell if my setup is using swap?
[05:42] <lord_zero> and where can i found drivers?
[05:42] <lord_zero> for linux?
[05:42] <Chousuke> I wonder if it is possible to somehow integrate Firefox' update utility with Ubuntu's package management.
[05:42] <cdromke> gnomefreak, i have pasted the errors i get firstly... now the sources.list
[05:43] <LinuxJones> lord_zero, if your network card works in gnome it should work in kubuntu
[05:43] <gnomefreak> cdromke: than paste the link to pastebin page in here
[05:43] <lord_zero> i'll try
[05:43] <lord_zero> thanks LinuxJones
[05:43] <LinuxJones> :)
[05:43] <Chousuke> and/or firefox' plugin install utility.
[05:43] <blanky> guys what's the package I use to make debian packages
[05:43] <blanky> dpkgdev?
[05:43] <blanky> or smething
[05:43] <lord_zero> brb, i hope...
[05:43] <lord_zero> bye all
[05:43] <jono> hi all
[05:43] <cdromke> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10077
[05:43] <Chousuke> it would be cool if firefox could check if an appropriate plugin is installable via APT before downloading from the web.
[05:43] <jono> how can I find out which are the largest files on the system?
[05:44] <LinuxJones> jono, hiya
[05:44] <jean> shouldnt something in fstab be seen when you type mount like the swap partition for example
[05:44] <Chousuke> and then prompt the user for sudo access to APT etc.
[05:44] <cdromke> is it me being stupid?
[05:44] <jean> how do i tell if my sys is using the swap partition
[05:44] <Jhair> jono: du | sort -n | tail
[05:45] <Kikkertje> I, I have a HP 1500 COLOR LASERJET printer, it uses usb conection, but i can't find any drivers for ubuntu :s does someone has a clue?
[05:45] <Jhair> jono: du -a | sort -n | tail
[05:45] <jono> Jhair is that for the entire filesystem?
[05:46] <gnomefreak> cdromke: we are gonna try something please oepn your sources.list and erase everything and get read to paste a new on in there
[05:46] <LinuxJones> jono, use du -h (for human readable filesizes)
[05:46] <MikeStyle> hi...uhm i just compiled blackbox and i dunno how to start it...also i tried installing fluxbox but it didnt work...can anyone help?
[05:46] <Jhair> jono: run it from / to search the whole filesystem (use it care, if you have nfs or samba partitions)
[05:46] <jean> how do i tell if my sys is using the swap partition
[05:46] <IdleOne> !tell MikeStyle  about fluxbox
[05:46] <nickrud> jean: cat /proc/swaps
[05:46] <IdleOne> !tell MikeStyle  about blackbox
[05:47] <lck1> what's 'cat' mean?
[05:47] <gnomefreak> cdromke: you ready?
[05:47] <cdromke> yeah
[05:47] <jean> nickrud: /dev/hda5                               partition       738948  6384    -1
[05:47] <nickrud> cat - concatenate files and print on the standard output
[05:47] <jean> nickrud: this is yes?
