[05:19] <apokryphos> thoreauputic: matters of existence and being are generally more suited to metaphysics though; even if there's an overlap with epistemology quite a bit
[05:19] <selinium> thoreauputic: do you know anything about Xauth? MIne is playing up
[05:19] <brenner> that's him/her
[05:19] <guzu> hardw1re, no, soory
[05:19] <thoreauputic> selinium:  sudo rm ~/.Xauthority  ;)
[05:20] <brenner> apokryphos: /j #smart-alecs
[05:20] <brenner> :D
[05:20] <apokryphos> heh
[05:20] <apokryphos> brenner: you left just before I could silence you ;-)
[05:20] <thoreauputic> apokryphos: or theology  ! /me hides
[05:20] <endgamer> JBailey? Help?
[05:20] <brenner> apokryphos: heh....i thought it was probably some weirdo....so i did a runner. :)
[05:21] <jbailey> endgamer: Did you run apt-get update after?
[05:21] <apokryphos> brenner: and you've changed your mind on that? 8)
[05:21] <endgamer> Well, I refreshed my lists (I'm using synaptic)
[05:21] <jbailey> Hmm, and  you're sure it's all pointing at breezy now?
[05:21] <brenner> >_>
[05:21] <hardw1re> will breezybadger run on the x86_64 kernels?
[05:21] <bmonnens> hey, i have on 1 computer with dual screen vino enabled, now when i connect with my laptop to that computer (using vncviewer) its all screwed up, is there a way you can fix this given some extra command line arguments or something else?
[05:22] <thoreauputic> brenner: more weird than apokryphos would require thoreaup ^H^H^H ... oh, wait
[05:22] <endgamer> running apt-get update now, maybe synaptic didn't...ah, it is doing some new stuff...
[05:22] <brenner> endgamer: need to use 'reload' in synaptic
[05:23] <guzu> where can be reported ubuntu bugs?
[05:23] <selinium> thoreauputic: I keep getting Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file. even after removing that xauth
[05:23] <endgamer> I checked all the repositories on my list, all on breezy, none reported error - could I be missing a rep?
[05:23] <brenner> lol
[05:24] <nudnick2> I'm installing linux and i cometo a screen where it prompts either to choose linux-386, linux-image-386, or linux-image-2.6.20-5-386. what should i choose?
[05:24] <brenner> just saw this:
[05:24] <brenner> !bugs
[05:24] <selinium> thoreauputic: I am trying to gksudo, would i need to remove the root .Xauth file?
[05:24] <thoreauputic> selinium: hmmm... I doubt it but I guess it won't hurt to try
[05:24] <HappyFool> nudnick2: linux-386
[05:25] <apokryphos> guzu: bugzilla.ubuntu.com
[05:25] <HappyFool> nudnick2: what distro is that? doesn't look like ubuntu to me
[05:25] <nudnick2> HappyFool: why that one, what are the differences
[05:25] <guzu> brenner, or even better, if apt is no longer working, are there other ways to install .debs?
[05:25] <HappyFool> nudnick2: linux-386 is a 'fake' package, which will install the others. it makes for easier upgrades
[05:25] <nudnick2> HappyFool, its ubuntu. i did expert install mode because ubuntu hates my pcmcia reader
[05:25] <thoreauputic> selinium: or " touch .Xauthority " ; chown username:username .Xauthority
[05:25] <hardw1re> guzu: dpkg -i name.deb
[05:25] <guzu> apokryphos, thnx a lot
[05:26] <brenner> guzu: should be avoided, but you can use dpkg -i
[05:26] <HappyFool> nudnick2: ok. funny kernel version (2.6.20)
[05:26] <endgamer> Could I be missing a repository? Which is the main one I need on there?
[05:26] <guzu> hardw1re, brenner thnx very much :)
[05:26] <nudnick2> HappyFool, now you're telling me to do the other one?
[05:26] <HappyFool> nudnick2: oh, 2.6.10-5-386 -- right
[05:26] <HappyFool> nudnick2: install 'linux-386'
[05:26] <nudnick2> i just did that :D
[05:27] <nudnick2> thanks
[05:27] <thoreauputic> selinium: oops, .Xauthority has 600 perms so the last one won't work methinks
[05:27] <hardw1re> to update to breezy using the apt-get can i do apt-get dist-upgrade ?
[05:27] <guzu> brenner, looks like it can not be avoided since i don't know other way to do it except the broken apt :)
[05:27] <brenner> guzu: what app is it?
[05:27] <guzu> brenner, who?
[05:27] <guzu> apt?
[05:27] <hardw1re> what .deb package are you installing i think he means
[05:27] <guzu> who/wich
[05:28] <rapha> Hey all
[05:28] <brenner> yes, that's it :)
[05:28] <rapha> Can Hoary be configured so that the "Open Drive Bay" button on the CD-ROM drives still works, like in Windows?
[05:28] <guzu> hardw1re, doesn't matter. it's not only on apt-get, but also on apt-cache
[05:28] <selinium> thoreauputic: Is it worth trying?
[05:28] <endgamer> Jbailey? You still there mate?
[05:28] <thoreauputic> selinium: what is causing the error?
[05:29] <hardw1re> ok, to upgrade my distro to breezy do i need to add the breezy links into the source.lst and then do apt-get dist-upgrade ?
[05:29] <thoreauputic> selinium: which prog reports it?
[05:29] <brenner> guzu: it does matter, it could be a repo issue and you might still be able to use the easier way of apt instead of dpkg
[05:29] <selinium> thoreauputic: trying to start nautilus through gksudo
[05:29] <GNULinuxer> hardw1re: before that, do apt-get update
[05:29] <azambuja> hi
[05:29] <guzu> brenner, the whole system worked before upgrading linux-image or something ()ah! and gnupg, maybe?
[05:29] <hardw1re> ah yeah
[05:29] <Eryadan> hello everybody
[05:29] <nudnick2> how is ubuntu pronounced? is it you-bunt-too or ew-bunt-too
[05:30] <azambuja> im trying to update my system and i get this error:
[05:30] <GNULinuxer> nudnick: oo-boon-too
[05:30] <azambuja> E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[05:30] <azambuja> E: Unable to lock the download directory
[05:30] <azambuja> how can i fix this, please?
[05:30] <thoreauputic> selinium: what does ls -l .Xauthority say  ?
[05:30] <guzu> hardw1re, brenner could be caused by upgrading gnupg?
[05:30] <guzu> should irefresh some keys somewhere?
[05:30] <nophix> azambuja: use sudo
[05:30] <brenner> guzu: how'd you upgrade those things?
[05:30] <guzu> apt-get upgrade
[05:31] <thoreauputic> azambuja: are you in the process of installing something ?
[05:31] <Eryadan> hi, i'm looking for a distro change, so here are some question about ubuntu: -> am i able to install /all/ the package available for debian (or where can i find a list) -> is there any problem compiling the nvidia drivers with it on AMD_64
[05:31] <azambuja> nophix: i am using
[05:31] <azambuja> thoreauputic: no
[05:31] <Stiivi> how can I recompile the kernel to fit my machine? I want the same kernel as installed an I would like to do it in a clean (ubuntu) way
[05:31] <guzu> ^brenn
[05:31] <selinium> thoreauputic: Nothing now, we just rm'ed it
[05:31] <brenner> guzu: did you have a repo in there besides main, uni and multi?
[05:31] <guzu> brenner,^
[05:31] <endgamer> Cheers anyway, I'll just do a dist-upgrade and see if that does it. See you guys.
[05:31] <hardw1re> http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ breezy main universe multiverse restricted
[05:31] <guzu> brenner, universe
[05:31] <hardw1re> ^^ is that what i need to add?
[05:31] <brenner> ....when you did the upgrade
[05:31] <nophix> azambuja: well, are you using 2 apt-get at the same time?
[05:32] <endgamer> q
[05:32] <thoreauputic> selinium: logout/login to regenerate it then
[05:32] <azambuja> nophix: no
[05:32] <nophix> azambuja: nevermind
[05:32] <selinium> thoreauputic: Doh. Me being stupid again!
[05:32] <guzu> brenner, so no :)
[05:32] <azambuja> nophix: i dont know whats happening... :-(
[05:32] <brenner> guzu: well, it sounds like it may have stuffed it up somehow....i'd work on getting that fixed rather than using work arounds for installing stuff.
[05:33] <thoreauputic> selinium: heheh - it isn't magic you know ;)
[05:33] <nophix> azambuja: check with "ps aux|grep apt"
[05:33] <guzu> brenner, so wich way should i go now?
[05:34] <zxc2005> anyone know how to configure grub so I can select the relevant partitions on boot?
[05:34] <brenner> guzu: i'd start with posting the full error you get when you use apt-get to a pastebin
[05:34] <azambuja> nophix: nothing, via terminal it works. via synaptic not
[05:34] <azambuja> im gonna restart
[05:34] <azambuja> thanx
[05:34] <guzu> brenner, segmentation fault
[05:35] <guzu> brenner, that's all
[05:35] <hardw1re> ok bbl
[05:35] <Eryadan> does someone knows if i'm able to install all the package available for debian with ubuntu, and, if it isnt the case, could someone point me to available packages?
[05:35] <hardw1re> cause i just issued the update command :P
[05:35] <hardw1re> so im gonna close all apps :P
[05:35] <brenner> guzu: and what apt-get command are you using?
[05:35] <guzu> brenner, apt-get install smbfs
[05:35] <brenner> Eryadan: mixing debian with ubuntu is a no-no afaik
[05:36] <brenner> guzu: and it gives a segfault?  weird
[05:36] <apokryphos> Eryadan: available packages can be browsed and searched on packages.ubuntu.com
[05:36] <booger> hi, i've got a question about dvd buring
[05:37] <Eryadan> brenner: ok, thank you
[05:37] <booger> can any one help me?
[05:37] <AlexBO> hello!in the 5.04 version of Ubuntu there is firefox 1.02, but when i try to download an extension, it says me that my version is minor than 1.0. how can i download extensions then?
[05:37] <guzu> booger, ask
[05:37] <brenner> booger: ask.  if anyone knows, they'll reply
[05:37] <Eryadan> apokryphos: thanks a lot that was exactly what i was looking for
[05:38] <thoreauputic> woah... apt segfaulting is not a good sign...
[05:38] <guzu> yeah :)
[05:38] <surfdue> hi
[05:38] <surfdue> can
[05:38] <guzu> brenner, now i'm in apt-get -f install
[05:38] <surfdue> um can ubuntu do rpms?
[05:38] <surfdue> i have a program that is in a rpm
[05:38] <guzu> brenner, seems good so far
[05:38] <surfdue> can i use it?
[05:38] <brenner> Alex: that's a bit of a bug...type about:config in the url bar
[05:38] <AlexBO> surfdue, use alien
[05:39] <brenner> surfdue: what program?
[05:39] <nophix> booger: just ask!
[05:39] <nophix> :)
[05:39] <thoreauputic> guzu: wild stab in the dark:  sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get -f install
[05:39] <surfdue> zipz
[05:39] <surfdue> sip phone
[05:39] <surfdue> what sip phone do u suggest?
[05:39] <rapha> Why doesn't AutoMount work properly in Hoary?
[05:39] <nudnick2> in expert install mode what does "configure apt" mean?
[05:39] <booger> ok i'm making iso file out of a video_ts folder everyway that I tried it my dvd player on my stero won't play it. how do I make dvd playable
[05:39] <surfdue> i want one that works with dtmf.
[05:39] <AlexBO> brenner, what i have to search?
[05:39] <surfdue> x-lite dosnt work with dtmf
[05:39] <guzu> btw, how can i select wich services to start or not on boot time?
[05:39] <booger> I've tried this mkisofs -o file.iso /location_of_folder/
[05:40] <thoreauputic> nudnick: configuring apt is usually running apt-setup
[05:40] <brenner> surfdue: linphone maybe?  (just apt-cache searching here)
[05:40] <guzu> thoreauputic, seems to be fixed already with apt-get -f install :) thnx a lot
[05:40] <brenner> Alex: vendorsub
[05:40] <guzu> brenner, ^
[05:40] <nophix> booger: don't you want to use k3b or something else instead?
[05:40] <thoreauputic> guzu: *whew*
[05:40] <thoreauputic> guzu: pour yourself a drink ;)
[05:40] <booger> I don't know I'm still a noob
[05:40] <guzu> lol
[05:41] <booger> will that app work?
[05:41] <zxc2005> I'm trying to put a "Hidden W95 FAT32" on my grub menu...it's on "/dev/sda1"...how would I structure the writing in menu.lst
[05:41] <AlexBO> brenner, general.useragent.vendorSub ?
[05:41] <antrix> hi, need help configuring network on a G3 imac...
[05:41] <guzu> now what about who's starting on boot time? how can i configure this?
[05:41] <brenner> AlexBO: yes, i think so.
[05:41] <jesper> Any font experts around? I've broken the system so "all" fonts looks grained..
[05:41] <brenner> AlexBO: change it to the firefox version you have
[05:41] <nophix> booger: k3b will work
[05:41] <AlexBO> brenner, i've setted 1.02 .
[05:42] <thoreauputic> zxc2005: that won't work - it's probably a container for other partitions
[05:42] <brenner> AlexBO: ok, try that now
[05:42] <eazel7> hi ppl
[05:42] <brenner> AlexBO: what was the original setting OOI?
[05:42] <catfox> hi all. does anyone know of a good and up to date python/gtk tutorial?
[05:42] <eazel7> is it possible to por anaconda to ubuntu?
[05:42] <booger> can I get gnomebaker to do the same thing?
[05:42] <AlexBO> brenner, no...i have written bad: i have got 1.06 version, and there was 1.02, so i changed it to 1.06
[05:42] <eazel7> progeny has done some work on porting to debian
[05:43] <zxc2005> thoreauputic, basically it's a partition placed there for a windows recovery type thing...by the manufacturer, it used to be booted by pressing f8 but grub obviously removed this. I was hoping I could put it in my boot menu?
[05:43] <nudnick2> oh my god..... i finally get linux installed on my computer and it stalls booting up. it stalls at "Starting Hotplug subsystem" anyone know why it might do that?
[05:43] <brenner> AlexBO: oh, ok....let us know if it works
[05:43] <AlexBO> brenner, it seems work.thanks
[05:43] <brenner> :)
[05:43] <Snopy_> Hey! How do i get the mp3 support to work with ubuntu?
[05:43] <jldugger> nudnick2: it does take a while...
[05:43] <thoreauputic> zxc2005: ah, OK I see - but I don't know if it's possible
[05:43] <antrix> lspci doesn't list any network cards..
[05:43] <nophix> !mp3
[05:43] <ubotu> from memory, mp3 is read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats for information about mp3 support
[05:44] <antrix> !mp3
[05:44] <zxc2005> thoreauputic, so there's no way I can say to grub boot /dev/sda1?
[05:44] <nudnick2> jldugger. does it take this long everytime i boot up? or just the first run
[05:44] <guzu> zxc2005, probably an fat16 partiotion dos like so maybe you can find help on info grub
[05:44] <eazel7> Snopy_, for kde akode-mpeglib, for gnome gstreamer0.8-mad
[05:44] <thoreauputic> zxc2005: as I said , I don't know
[05:44] <AlexBO> brenner, oh-oh... Forecast <IP_ADDRESS> could not be installed because it's not compatible with the version of Firefox (only works with 1.0+)
[05:44] <eazel7> Snopy_, install those through sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.8-mad
[05:45] <antrix> ubotu, are there irc logs somewhere then
[05:45] <ubotu> NO SPEAKE ENLISH!, antrix
[05:45] <brenner> AlexBO: damn....well, check the forum for 'firefox extension' topics.
[05:45] <brenner> lol
[05:45] <jldugger> nudnick, every time =( afaik. but it shouldnt be like more than 15 seconds.
[05:45] <brenner> antrix: /topic
[05:45] <thoreauputic> antrix:  see /topic
[05:45] <thoreauputic> brenner: ha - a rare win for brenner ;)
[05:45] <brenner> 1st time i've seen that ubotu rejection :)
[05:45] <AlexBO> brenner,  okey...thanks however
[05:45] <antrix> brenner, thanx :)
[05:46] <nudnick2> jldugger, well its been like 4 minutes
[05:46] <brenner> thoreauputic: 3 less letters :)
[05:46] <thoreauputic> brenner: *grin*
[05:47] <zxc2005> guzu, how do I get to "info grub" :/
[05:47] <jldugger> nudnick, try control-c
[05:47] <brenner> thoreauputic: rare win?  i always beat you. :D
[05:47] <nudnick2> nothing...
[05:47] <kuene> hi, i have just installed ubuntu on a acer travel mate 2300. it has a screen resolution of 2800x800. this is correctly written in my xorg.conf. but gnome starts with resolution of 1024x768. and i can not change it in the system preferences. why ist this like that?
[05:47] <brenner> zxc2005: type it in a terminal
[05:47] <brenner> !tell kuene about fixres
[05:47] <brenner> thoreauputic: see.... :)
[05:47] <thoreauputic> brenner: conceptually, I'm way ahead ;)
[05:48] <kuene> brenner, fixres?
[05:48] <guzu> zxc2005, open terminal, type info grub, press enter :)
[05:48] <thoreauputic> brenner: hah - impostor!
[05:48] <jldugger> nudnick, it may be, theres a bug in the hotplug system. i know they wanted to rewrite it to go faster, so they might have missed a corner condition that toasts you
[05:48] <brenner> kuene: check your private messages
[05:48] <eazel7> kuene, perhaps it's not written as first resolution at the xorg.conf
[05:48] <nudnick2> so what do you reccomend
[05:48] <brenner> thoreauputic: hehe...thought it was time for a nick change...people kept thinking i was female
[05:49] <guzu> anybody knows if conf.modules is still available (valid, i mean) in ubu 5.04?
[05:49] <thoreauputic> brenner: yeah, i know the feeling: people keep thinking I'm male
[05:49] <brenner> not that there's anything wrong with that
[05:50] <brenner> thoreauputic: so you aren't the lead singer of midnight oil? :D lol
[05:50] <brenner> *former lead
[05:50] <thoreauputic> brenner: no, I have hair ;)
[05:50] <surfdue> is there a really easy app, i can use to merge 5 mp3s into one file
[05:50] <thoreauputic> surfdue: sure - cat
[05:50] <guzu> surfdue, mp3wrap on sf.net
[05:50] <brenner> thoreauputic: *i* thought you were male
[05:51] <surfdue> cat ?
[05:51] <thoreauputic> cat file1.mp3 file2.mp3 > filebig.mp3
[05:51] <surfdue> nice
[05:51] <surfdue> :)
[05:51] <guzu> surfdue, and cat is even easier :)
[05:51] <surfdue> thanks
[05:51] <nudnick2> any reason my computer might stall loading the hotplug subsystem?
[05:51] <guzu> man cat
[05:51] <brenner> damn....didn't know cat could do that. :)
[05:51] <HappyFool> cat'ing 3 mp3 files produces a working mp3 file?
[05:51] <Bjorn2> how to install a lexmark :o?
[05:51] <thoreauputic> brenner: actually I am - but promise not to give my secret away
[05:51] <selinium> thoreauputic: Sorry, talking to my daughter.
[05:52] <thoreauputic> HappyFool: sure
[05:52] <selinium> thoreauputic: -rw-------  1 james james 120 2005-08-20 16:38 /home/james/.Xauthority
[05:52] <surfdue> can cat merge any file
[05:52] <surfdue> liek video
[05:52] <thoreauputic> selinium: looks right
[05:52] <surfdue> wav?
[05:52] <Robbie___> hello
[05:52] <brenner> thoreauputic: i'm confused now. :)
[05:52] <Robbie___> can someone
[05:52] <Robbie___> help me with rewriting my bootloader
[05:52] <Robbie___> bu
[05:52] <Robbie___> with lilo
[05:52] <Robbie___> cuz
[05:52] <HappyFool> wav files have headers; i'm pretty sure you can't just 'cat' 3 wav files together
[05:52] <thoreauputic> brenner: told you I was wway ahead , didn't I ? *g*
[05:53] <Robbie___> im using mandriva
[05:53] <thoreauputic> HappyFool: try it
[05:53] <HappyFool> i'm trying it with mp3 files right now
[05:53] <selinium> thoreauputic: Will doeing a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg sort it?
[05:53] <Bjorn2> whats the latest stable kernel ?
[05:53] <Bjorn2> i want to update my kernell
[05:53] <guzu> surfdue, note however that not all players will play such an audio/video file
[05:53] <nudnick2> so is there any reason my computer might stall loading the hotplug subsystem? it took me 3 hours to figure out what drivers were messing up the install process and now that i have it installed it won't boot :(
[05:53] <thoreauputic> selinium: I don't think so,no
[05:53] <Bjorn2> but i can't find it 123
[05:53] <Bjorn2> :o
[05:53] <surfdue> :P
[05:54] <kemik> byt cat'ing mp3files there will be errors introduced
[05:54] <antrix> !logoff
[05:54] <ubotu> I don't know, antrix
[05:54] <EasterSunshine> you can't cat mp3's together?
[05:54] <thoreauputic> kemik: hmm -seems to work for me
[05:54] <EasterSunshine> thoreauputic: wow! that's wicked!
[05:54] <guzu> more exactly sunc errors
[05:54] <vitriol> nudnick2: sounds like you need to blacklist a driver or something
[05:55] <nudnick2> vitriol
[05:55] <nudnick2> how?
[05:55] <kemik> thoreauputic:  sure it may *work*, but if the id3-tag and headers are catted they'll be interpreted as sound and probalby it wont sound correct
[05:55] <QMario> !Java
[05:55] <ubotu> methinks java is to install Java please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Java
[05:55] <thoreauputic> EasterSunshine: I suggest you test it first ;)
[05:55] <vitriol> nudnick2: there is a file in /etc/hotplug
[05:55] <kuene> brenner, still does not work, my xorg.conf is set up correctly. but gnome does only 1024x768...
[05:55] <antrix> I can't figure out what network card is on this imac box.... lspci doesn't list anything.. any idea how i configure it?
[05:55] <vitriol> nudnick2: i *think* it is /etc/hotplug/blacklist
[05:55] <guzu> sync
[05:55] <guzu> thoreauputic, there are players able to get over these sync errors, others can not
[05:55] <EasterSunshine> for file in ls; do cat ls; done > everything.mp3
[05:56] <thoreauputic> kemik: *shrug* You're probably right - I know little about it
[05:56] <vitriol> nudnick2: what you need to do is figure out what module is messing up your system
[05:56] <vitriol> nudnick2: then add it to the blacklist file
[05:56] <nudnick2> vitriol, where do i enter that?
[05:56] <keyes> hello, i'm looking for a solution to active MP3 encoding profile for all the system, not for only one user
[05:56] <vitriol> nudnick2: to get to the blacklist file you need to boot up using the recovery mode kernel
[05:56] <keyes> any idea ?
[05:56] <EasterSunshine> do cat "$file" *
[05:56] <QMario> E: /var/cache/apt/archives/mozilla-firefox_1.0.6-0ubuntu0.1_i386.deb:  trying to overwrite `/var/lib/mozilla-firefox/extensions.d/00classic', which is also in package firefox

[05:56] <vitriol> nudnick2: do you know how to do that?
[05:57] <brenner> kuene: it's usually one of two problems: [1]  res isn't listed [2]  monitor rates aren't correct.
[05:57] <Bjorn2> Is there a howto installing Audigy 2 ZS cards ?
[05:57] <Bjorn2> Is there a howto installing Audigy 2 ZS cards ?
[05:57] <Bjorn2> :o
[05:57] <nudnick2> vitriol, i think it stalls during recovery mode too
[05:57] <Stiivi> see you later
[05:57] <brenner> kuene: post your xorg.conf to a pastebin please
[05:57] <vitriol> nudnick2: you tried that?
[05:57] <QMario> Thoreauputic, that was my problem.
[05:57] <vitriol> nudnick2: in that case ....there is another way but it's more advanced
[05:57] <QMario> Do you know the solution to it?
[05:57] <brenner> Stiivi: later
[05:57] <vitriol> nudnick2: you can use the ubuntu livecd to boot from
[05:57] <vitriol> nudnick2: and mount your filesystem from the livecd
[05:58] <thoreauputic> QMario: not at this hour - I'm probably half asleep
[05:58] <guzu> how can i find out wich version of alsa is installed?
[05:58] <vitriol> nudnick2: then, you can edit /etc/hotplug/blacklist and add the module that is causing you grief
[05:58] <Snopy_> eazel7, Do I need to reboot after the install to get the programs to handle mp3?
[05:58] <kemik> cat thoreauputic > /dev/null
[05:58] <nudnick2> well i boot up during recovery but there is nowhere to enter what you said before it gets to the hotplug part?
[05:58] <kemik> :>
[05:58] <Bjorn2> Is there a howto installing Audigy 2 ZS cards ?
[05:58] <brenner> Snopy_: no
[05:59] <vitriol> nudnick2: so it won't fully boot in recovery mode? or it will?
[05:59] <jeff_hann> Bjorn2:have ya tried google?
[05:59] <Bjorn2> not yet, ;)
[05:59] <QMario> Bob2, are you awake?
[05:59] <nophix> guzu: dpkg -l|grep alsa
[05:59] <nudnick2> nope
[05:59] <Bjorn2> its easier to ask
[05:59] <eazel7> Snopy_, IIIRC no, but perhaps running gst-register would be needed
[05:59] <Bjorn2> :>
[05:59] <nudnick2> it wont
[06:00] <QMario> !Firefox
[06:00] <ubotu> QMario: Did you get hit by a windmill?
[06:00] <selinium> thoreauputic: can you think of anything else i can try? on Xauth
[06:00] <QMario> !browser
[06:00] <ubotu> QMario: Did you get hit by a windmill?
[06:00] <brenner> Bjorn2: afaik, no
[06:00] <thoreauputic> kemik:  cat kemik > /dev/meatgrinder
[06:00] <jeff_hann> so RTFM and if you DON'T find satisfactory results,come back

[06:00] <QMario> !Botsnack
[06:00] <ubotu> :)
[06:00] <thoreauputic> kemik: ;-)
[06:00] <vitriol> nudnick2: then your best bet is mounting the partition from a ubuntu livecd and editing it from there (this can be fairly complicated if you've never done it before)
[06:00] <kemik> thoreauputic:  damn you got some wicked machines connected to your comp ;)
[06:00] <nudnick2> wanna walk me through :)
[06:00] <vitriol> nudnick2: sure i'll be here
[06:00] <thoreauputic> kemik: built it myself ;)
[06:00] <brenner> Bjorn2: if you're having sound probs and you've searched the wiki and forum with no luck, get a hold of crimsun when he's active in here...he's #ubuntu's sound guru.
[06:00] <guzu> nophix, thnx!
[06:01] <umberleigh> how do i set the sound card that the system uses? it seems to be setup to use my webcam-with-mike, but i need to set it to use my actual soundcard. the card is setup as far as i can see, as alsamixer -c 1 uses the card
[06:01] <vitriol> nudnick2: first thing, though, do you know what module causes it to freeze?
[06:01] <Snopy_> eazel7, Thanx dude. Now i just miss the divx support
[06:01] <nudnick2> i'm about to leave will you be on later tonite?
[06:01] <umberleigh> so, where's the config file where i set which card to use?
[06:01] <nudnick2> unless it dosen't take that long
[06:01] <guzu> Bjorn2, alsa 1.0.8 should have drivers for it although maybe some things are missing like recording, check it anyway :)
[06:01] <thoreauputic> ------> sleep
[06:01] <eazel7> Snopy_, it's there going around, look for gstreamer0.8-plugins and install it all
[06:01] <thoreauputic> good night all
[06:01] <vitriol> nudnick2: can't guarantee that, but somebody else here will help you, surely :)
[06:01] <HappyFool> chrs thoreauputic
[06:01] <QMario> Good Night.
[06:01] <Bjorn2> oke guzu
[06:01] <vitriol> nudnick2: it takes about 15 minutes probably
[06:01] <brenner> Snopy_:for divx, install w32codecs
[06:01] <nudnick2> how long will it take if we did it now
[06:01] <nudnick2> oh
[06:01] <nudnick2> we got time then
[06:01] <nudnick2> nm
[06:01] <guzu> thoreauputic, 'dnight and thank you :)
[06:01] <nudnick2> let me go grab my live cd
[06:01] <vitriol> nudnick2: you have a livecd?
[06:02] <vitriol> ok
[06:02] <vitriol> nudnick2: what module causes it to freeze?
[06:02] <nudnick2> hotplug subsystems
[06:02] <vitriol> hmm
[06:02] <guzu> Bjorn2, if you make it record by mic, let me know, btw :)
[06:02] <vitriol> that's all it says?
[06:03] <brenner> umberleigh: 'apps > sound > vol. control > file > change device' maybe?
[06:03] <_martin> Is there a save method for upgrading to colony 3 without using the iso?
[06:03] <kuene> brettcar, my xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/1440
[06:03] <Bjorn2> guzu, i will
[06:03] <nudnick2> vitriol, one second i'm getting on windows to see how much battery power is left on the system i'm installing ubuntu on
[06:03] <Bjorn2> but i just started today
[06:03] <kuene> sorry i mean: brenner , my xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/1440
[06:03] <Bjorn2> >_>
[06:03] <vitriol> !hotplug
[06:03] <ubotu> vitriol: I don't know, could you explain it?
[06:03] <keyes> anyone know how to activate sound-juicer mp3 encoding for all users (system-wide)
[06:03] <selinium> Snopy_ http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats  for w32codecs
[06:04] <vitriol> nudnick2: the problem with completely disabling hotplug is that your mouse, keyboard and a number of other devices may not work without it
[06:05] <nudnick2> ..
[06:05] <matsur> HillTop, after installing a 32 bit chroot on my amd64 ubuntu all the interface fonts are really fuzzy. any ideas?
[06:05] <nudnick2> so is it possible that i can't use ubuntu on this system?
[06:05] <vitriol> if it's something within hotplug, such as snd_intel8x0m or wdt_pci causing the freeze
[06:05] <vitriol> then you can comment those out
[06:05] <vitriol> nudnick2: yes it's possible
[06:05] <epod69> hey, anyone know a beginners guide link to setting up sound in ubuntu?
[06:05] <brenner> kuene: what res did you want?
[06:06] <selinium> anybody around who nows about Xauthority files? I keep getting  Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file   erors
[06:06] <brenner> kuene: nvm, stupid question
[06:06] <brenner> kuene: sudo ddcprobe | grep monitorrange
[06:06] <selinium> errors*
[06:06] <vitriol> nudnick2: if it froze on hotplug and didn't say anything, chances are it was just one module causing the problem
[06:06] <umberleigh> brenner: i'm using KDE, hence KMix. i can set the mixer to 'NVidia nForce2', but i still don't get any sound and it resets back to the camera when i reboot anyway
[06:06] <kuene> brenner, i want 1200x800
[06:07] <brenner> kuene: sudo ddcprobe | grep monitorrange
[06:07] <guzu> anybody knows wich module should be loaded for an gravis ultrasound isa card? or maybe sound blaster16?
[06:08] <brenner> umberleigh: yeah, sorry, i'm not really a sound guru......you might want to get a hold of crimsun when he's active in here.  i don't know really
[06:08] <jc-denton> i cannot find description anywhere about Breezy Badger
[06:08] <matsur> any ideas on the fuzzy fonts after a chroot install?
[06:08] <brenner> umberleigh: have you checked the forums for any threads?
[06:09] <brenner> !breezy

[06:09] <jc-denton> brenner: thank you
[06:09] <umberleigh> i've read the stuff ubotu gave me, but i'll do a search now for other stuff :-$
[06:10] <guzu> !'isa sound card'
[06:10] <ubotu> guzu: I don't know, could you explain it?
[06:10] <jc-denton> humm
[06:10] <guzu> !isa sound card
[06:10] <ubotu> guzu: I don't know, could you explain it?
[06:10] <jc-denton> i need technical details
[06:11] <jc-denton> on the ubuntu site i couldn't find anything
[06:11] <guzu> ubotu, no :(
[06:11] <ubotu> guzu: I'm not sure, is it larger than a breadbox?
[06:11] <jc-denton> what about selinux, x.org, gnome?
[06:11] <paganini> Howdy
[06:12] <antrix> how do i reinvoke the 'network configure' step from installation... after install
[06:12] <paganini> I really like Ubuntu.
[06:12] <robertj> heya all. There is a non-free licence that allows comments in code of a piece of software that the code interoperates with to invalidate portions of that licence
[06:12] <paganini> And this friend of mine knows this, and wants to try it, but he's having a little trouble installing.
[06:12] <paganini> So, I'm trying to give him a hand, but he's having a strange problem.
[06:12] <robertj> theoretically, can you take the code that is being interoperated with and add disclaimers to slice out portions of the licence of question?
[06:12] <matsur> http://www.columbia.edu/rxl2101/Screenshot.png that's what it looks like. See the fuzziness I'm talking about?
[06:13] <skora> and what is it paganini
[06:13] <brenner> jc-denton: heh, it is a little lacking...
[06:13] <paganini> He's trying to install on a Compaq SR1010NX notebook. It boots off the CD OK, but when it starts loading the kernel, he gets two lines (initrd I think) and it resets.
[06:13] <jc-denton> brenner: lacking?
[06:14] <matsur> Sorry, http://www.columbia.edu/~rxl2101/Screenshot.png
[06:14] <paganini> I found a couple of links that seem related, but they're for Fedora
[06:14] <paganini> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/archive/18/2005/02/1/229524
[06:14] <paganini> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=121819
[06:14] <guzu> jc-denton, file not found
[06:14] <paganini> So, I was wondering if anyone has ever encountered this with ubuntu before, and what I should do about it.
[06:15] <martin-> topyli: all works great now, thx!
[06:15] <jc-denton> file not found?
[06:16] <Zotnix> While I know dangerous and not very supported, how do I force install a package via dpkg and make apt-get shut up about it completely?
[06:17] <chriszanf> got a couple of issues: no sound &  getting 500 server error with apache2
[06:18] <guzu> anyody knows if alsaconf is available in ubuntu?
[06:18] <kurumin> como ver o hda pelo ubuntu live cd
[06:18] <paganini> alsaconf is abailable in ubuntu.
[06:18] <paganini> *available
[06:18] <paganini> It doesn't work too well with my AC97 onboard though. :)
[06:18] <guzu> paganini, great! where?
[06:18] <nophix> guzu: alsa-utils
[06:19] <guzu> nophix, i suppose so, but it's not in path :( and i have no idea how to query a package for a file :(
[06:19] <brenner> kuene: still there?
[06:20] <paganini> guzu, can you use Synaptic Package manager?
[06:20] <guzu> paganini, yes
[06:20] <guzu> why?
[06:20] <brenner> guzu: packages.ubuntu.com works well for me
[06:21] <guzu> brenner, thnx, -i'll check it out
[06:21] <Node> hey
[06:21] <paganini> Open it up, select "sections" in the lower left, and select "all" in the upper left. Then just type "alsa-utils" and it'll jump right to it.
[06:21] <paganini> Assuming you have the right repositories installed.
[06:21] <Node> does anybody here have the ULI SATA drivers so I can setup ubuntu on on my A64 ?
[06:21] <Node> (or no of a way to get it working)
[06:22] <kurumin> como ver o hda pelo ubuntu live cd
[06:22] <topyli> martin-: great!
[06:22] <kuene> brenner, does not work still. i think i will switch back do debian and xfree86
[06:22] <brenner> kuene: did you run the command i gave you?
[06:23] <guzu> paganini, alsa-utils is installed, alsaconf can't be located
[06:23] <guzu> brenner, You have searched for alsaconf in hoary, architecture i386.
[06:23] <guzu> Can't find that file, at least not in that distribution and on that architecture.
[06:23] <kuene> yes
[06:23] <brenner> kuene: what was the output?
[06:24] <brenner> guzu: dpkg -L alsa-utils | grep alsaconf ?
[06:24] <Adolf> hi just a question here, are there boot diskettes to boot from diskette and load a cdrom driver to install from there?
[06:24] <kuene> brenner, but i think you mean mode not monitorrange?
[06:24] <umberleigh> paganini: i can't find alsaconf in alsautils, i'm using hoary with the default repositories, plus universe and restricted
[06:24] <skora> node - did you try the AMD site ?
[06:24] <brenner> kuene: no, use the exact command
[06:24] <ninjafish> hi, if flash-nonfree not in multiverse any more because I cannot find the package
[06:24] <oonoon> where can i find info about the runlevels of ubuntu ?
[06:24] <kuene> there is no output then...
[06:24] <guzu> brenner, :( nothing
[06:25] <brenner> kuene: ok, we can't autodetect...what's your monitor model?
[06:25] <skora> Node, youcan be a bit more descriptive about your problems, that would help :]
[06:25] <Adolf> what about boot diskettes
[06:25] <guzu> brenner, paganini still apt-cache search says alsaconf is in alsa-utils
[06:25] <Node> No linux distro i have tried today has been able to detect my hdd.

[06:25] <Node> which is an SATA drive, with a ULi M1573 controller
[06:26] <chriszanf> how do I change apache2 "fully qualified domain name" or what IP address it listens on?
[06:26] <guzu> brenner, are you on breezy?
[06:26] <QMario> Node, where can I get JCreator?
[06:26] <brenner> guzu: no, hoary
[06:26] <Adolf> Node is your hdd correct set up
[06:26] <brenner> kuene: ah, so, laptop?
[06:26] <Node> adolf - yes, it works fine in windows
[06:26] <kuene> brenner, acrer travel mate.
[06:26] <guzu> brenner, somebody above says it's on breezy but i dont remeber who, i was curious if there is alsaconf
[06:27] <othernoob> hi, does anyone know of a program to convert .ape to .mp3?
[06:27] <Node> but i had to load extra drivers during the windows setup from a floppy
[06:27] <chriszanf> how do I change apache2 "fully qualified domain name" or what IP address it listens on?
[06:27] <paganini> Hmm.
[06:27] <paganini> I'm running Hoary.
[06:27] <oonoon> how to boot on console (no X), which runlevel ?
[06:27] <Node> QMario - not an illegal version, no.
[06:27] <paganini> And I remember using alsa-conf.
[06:27] <paganini> But, now I don't seem to have it installed.
[06:27] <Adolf> Node i dont have probs with sata under Suse
[06:27] <ninjafish> Can someone who uses mulitverse do me a favour and see if their synaptic can find flash-nonfree as it is mentioned in the wiki but I cannot find it
[06:27] <Node> i just tried installing 9.3 (i386 version though) and it couldnt detect the,m
[06:27] <paganini> Looks like the new software conflicts with the old alsa-conf
[06:28] <Adolf> even knoppix 3.9 has no probs with sata on my systems
[06:28] <adwait> hello all
[06:28] <Node> ive read a few people having problems with linux and this controller (and this computer SHuttle ST20G5)
[06:28] <brenner> guzu: yeah, it might not be in the hoary repos
[06:28] <brenner> i.e. need to install alsa manually or something
[06:28] <Adolf> i hope you find out what is wrong
[06:29] <kuene> brenner, i do not know what else to do... intel makes very good drivers for the grafic chip so...
[06:29] <EasterSunshine> two problems: first off, man is formatting the documents with more, instead of how it used to be before where i can use up and down arrows, and secondly, how do i save a buffer in vi?
[06:29] <chriszanf> how do I change apache2 "fully qualified domain name" or what IP address it listens on?
[06:29] <Node> me too, or I doubt i'll ever be using linux :)
[06:29] <andy_> ninjafish, is multiverse activated?
[06:29] <brenner> ninjafish: flashplugin-nonfree
[06:29] <guzu> brenner, k thnx a lot, i'll see what i have to do
[06:29] <brenner> kuene: try changing your rates
[06:29] <brenner> to these generic ones:
[06:29] <brenner> HorizSync          30-96
[06:29] <brenner>      VertRefresh        50-160
[06:30] <darkheart> EasterSunshine When you say 'buffer', you just mean save the file you are working on?
[06:30] <brenner> kuene: i assume you know how to back up your xorg.conf file so you can copy the old one over later if needed
[06:30] <Adolf> i like to install ubuntu on an ancient system, damnsmalllinux runs fine on it but i need boot diskettes, anyone???
[06:30] <andy_> brenner,  isn't it 30-95
[06:30] <EasterSunshine> chriszanf: use the directive Listen to change the listening ports eg "Listen 80"
[06:30] <kuene> bratsche, ;)
[06:30] <brenner> andy_: got it off here:https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[06:30] <EasterSunshine> darkheart: yes, i have had vi dump the buffer before...
[06:30] <QMario> !JCreator
[06:30] <ubotu> I haven't a clue, QMario
[06:30] <QMario> !Java
[06:30] <ubotu> hmm... java is to install Java please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Java
[06:30] <andy_> there's a sticker on my monitor with 30-95 and 50-160
[06:31] <ciberamaru> I dont't speak English
[06:31] <brenner> kuene: basically, i think your rates are wrong.
[06:31] <darkheart> EasterSunshine If you want to save what you are working on, in command mode ':w' will save it. Or ':w <filename>' if you want to call it something else.
[06:31] <Node> QMario: bit torrent
[06:31] <QMario> !Botsnack
[06:31] <ubotu> :)
[06:31] <brenner> kuene: having your debian xfree file might be handy actually
[06:31] <ciberamaru> do someone speak Spanish?
[06:31] <QMario> Node, isn't it "free" though?
[06:31] <brenner> !es
[06:31] <ubotu> Hispanohablantes: Por favor usen #ubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[06:31] <andy_> da gaat
[06:31] <ciberamaru> Thank you!
[06:32] <adwait> ciberamaru: #ubuntu-es
[06:32] <Node> dunno, presumed it was an ide you have to pay for, if its free, check www.jcreator.com
[06:32] <EasterSunshine> chriszanf: oh sry ip adress...you need to use the VirtualHost directive eg <VirtualHost www.wee.org> ... </VirtualHost>
[06:32] <EasterSunshine> darkheart: thx
[06:32] <ninjafish> I am using http://ubuntu-backports.mirrormax.net/ with multiverse restricted main and universe I searched for flah and all I get is libflash
[06:32] <ninjafish> s/flah/flash
[06:32] <Adolf> bye cu and keep up the good work
[06:32] <chriszanf> EasterSunshine: in the .conf?
[06:32] <brenner> ninjafish: flashplugin-nonfree
[06:32] <darkheart> EasterSunshine Btw, you can also save w/ 'shift+z+z' in command mode =) That will save and quit.
[06:33] <EasterSunshine> chriszanf: yes
[06:33] <brenner> ninjafish: it's in multiverse
[06:33] <adwait> can someone tell me, how stable is the current release of breezey?
[06:33] <EasterSunshine> ubotu tell me about pastebin
[06:34] <adwait> !pastebin
[06:34] <ubotu> pastebin is, like, a site where you can post large texts and screenshots so you don't flood the channel. You can find it at http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl
[06:34] <brenner> adwait: well, the warning's gone from the topic, but i personally still wouldn't use it

[06:37] <paganini> OK, so, it turns out that my friend's computer is *not* a notebook, but a desktop.
[06:37] <jamie_k> anyone help me configure my sound. which has recently given up the ghost?
[06:37] <paganini> (This is what happens when you try to do tech-support of IRC)
[06:38] <adwait> hehe
[06:38] <adwait> jamie_k: what did u do b4 it stopped working?
[06:38] <paganini> of = over
[06:39] <jamie_k> adwait, i was trying to fix the problem with esd not playing sounds accross multiple apps, and installed polypaudio
[06:39] <kuene> brenner, still does not work but now i can choose in gnome prefernces between 3 resolutions: 1027x768 800x600 640x480 but no 1200x800... what other sync rates are reasonable?
[06:40] <adwait> jamie_k: well, if u haven't got the multiple sounds working with this, u could try uninstalling it
[06:40] <jamie_k> adwait, i did
[06:40] <adwait> also, for multiple sounds, try the ubuntu forums method
[06:40] <brenner> kuene: widescreen complicates things
[06:40] <Bjorn2> who asked me if i got my microphone working under audigy 2 ?
[06:40] <adwait> !multiple sounds
[06:40] <ubotu> parse error: dunno what the heck you're talking about, adwait
[06:40] <adwait> !multiple_sounds
[06:40] <ubotu> Syntax error in line 1, adwait
[06:40] <jamie_k> adwait, it's now completely silent -- i also follwed ths : http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=8882
[06:40] <kuene> brenner, oh...
[06:40] <brenner> kuene: it's not that bad!
[06:41] <Bjorn2> who asked me if i got my microphone working under audigy 2 ?
[06:41] <brenner> kuene: but basically, you'll need to either find your rates for your computer model by googling
[06:41] <brenner> multiple sounds:
[06:41] <brenner> !sound
[06:41] <ubotu> sound is, like, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=32063 or http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/DebuggingSoundProblems/
[06:42] <kuene> brenner, no i dont think so. i will have do some research. i thank you very very much for your help. you sure showed me the right way!
[06:42] <jamie_k> ubotu, i'll follow the second link thx
[06:42] <ubotu> jamie_k: What?
[06:42] <brenner> kuene: hopefully, you'll give ubuntu a longer go before you decide to go back to debian
[06:42] <adwait> jamie_k: ubotu = a bot
[06:42] <selinium> Anybody know how to sort out xauth problems?
[06:42] <Node_> lmao!
[06:43] <volatile_> hey, how do I get rid of an RPM package converted to DEB from my ubuntu system?
[06:43] <kuene> brenner, its for my father :)
[06:43] <adwait> volatile_: i guess dpkg -r should work
[06:43] <brenner> kuene: tip: google with 'HorizSync' as a keyword
[06:43] <volatile_> I converted the RPM using alien, then installed the DEB, but it didn't install right
[06:43] <volatile_> ok
[06:43] <volatile_> thx
[06:43] <volatile_> let me try :D
[06:43] <volatile_> do I have to type in the package name?
[06:43] <brenner> kuene: oh, well hope he sticks longer with it :)
[06:43] <jamie_k> adwait, heheh it sounded like a human
[06:44] <adwait> jamie_k: hehe.........
[06:44] <brenner> volatile_: locally installed deb files show up in synaptic
[06:44] <adwait> volatile_: yes
[06:44] <volatile_> ok
[06:44] <volatile_> it's a custom progrma install though
[06:44] <volatile_> will it still show up in synaptic?
[06:45] <selinium> volitile_ Yes it should
[06:45] <brenner> volatile_: if you used dpkg -i, yes
[06:45] <volatile_> cool, I'm using dpkg
[06:45] <volatile_> it's working
[06:45] <volatile_> thx
[06:45] <brenner> volatile_: should be in the sections list
[06:45] <ninjafish> I have pasted an attempt to get flashplugin-nonfree and an apt-get update http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/1443 showing a list of repositorys
[06:45] <selinium> any bluetooth wizards about?
[06:46] <volatile_> I uninstalled it
[06:46] <f_newton> has planetmirror.com been discontinued?
[06:46] <volatile_> let me explain
[06:47] <BETA7> umm
[06:47] <BETA7> quite alot of ppl here
[06:47] <brenner> ninjafish: you don't have multiverse enabled.
[06:47] <brenner> ninjafish: i think you're getting confused...the mirrormax line is backports
[06:47] <Veon> Anyone know if there is any program for Ubuntu which can connect with Ipod?
[06:47] <selinium> ninjafish: WHere are you from? I'll send you a repo list. you need mutliverse enabled
[06:47] <brenner> ninjafish: just use the repo list found here:
[06:47] <brenner> !repos
[06:47] <ubotu> hmm... repos is at http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/AddingRepositoriesHowto A list of official repositories can be found at http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/969
[06:48] <ninjafish> I am from uk
[06:48] <volatile_> I installed linux through VMware, then I installed the VMware Tools into ubuntu, but I used the RPM, I converted it to DEB then used the dpkg to install the DEB, it didn't work, so now I uninstalled the .DEB and tried to install from the binary but it says that "a previous installation of VMware has been detected" even though I removed it... Any ideas?
[06:48] <ninjafish> Thanks I will update my lists
[06:48] <brenner> Veon: gtkpod
[06:49] <Veon> brenner, Thanx.
[06:49] <f_newton> is there another extras site beside planetmirror?
[06:49] <HappyFool> !hoary-extras
[06:49] <ubotu> well, hoary-extras is see  http://backports.ubuntuforums.org ; example hoary repo: deb http://ubuntu-backports.mirrormax.net/ hoary-extras main universe multiverse restricted
[06:49] <brenner> volatile_: you might have traces of your deb file install left
[06:50] <HappyFool> volatile_: try dpkg --purge <whatever>
[06:50] <volatile_> ok
[06:50] <eruin> anyone know where to get this metacity theme? http://www.stellingwerff.com/?p=5
[06:50] <volatile_> let me tryu
[06:50] <eruin> sorry, url is http://www.stellingwerff.com/TheWidgetFactory/The%20Widget%20Factory.png
[06:50] <volatile_> purging now
[06:50] <brenner> purge is such a cool word :)
[06:50] <f_newton> !backports
[06:50] <ubotu> backports are applications with newer versions on a stable distributions. Ubuntu backports can be found in the hoary-backports section
[06:50] <Seveas> eruin, impossible
[06:51] <eruin> Seveas: why is that?
[06:51] <Seveas> that's still in heavy development as you can read in that blog post
[06:51] <maximaus> [very nervous] Hey all, I ran Hoary-Live all last night (mounted Warty to use Flash and Realplayer), today Warty won't run and my /home partition is invisible to explore2fs (using XP) [/very nervous]  Run a live Linux CD and do a "fsck"?
[06:51] <eruin> Seveas: the metacity theme, not the gtk theme ;)
[06:51] <f_newton> Seveas, is planetmirror.com down temporarily or is it a permanent thing?
[06:52] <Seveas> eruin, ah, ok
[06:52] <Seveas> dunno, ask richard himself :)
[06:52] <volatile_> what's the command to delete a directory?
[06:52] <volatile_> in bash?
[06:52] <brenner> maximaus: wow  livecd shouldn't have done that
[06:52] <HappyFool> rm -rf
[06:52] <brenner> volatile_: rm -rf <dir>
[06:52] <brenner> volatile_: be careful though :)
[06:52] <volatile_> ok
[06:52] <volatile_> thx
[06:52] <surfdue> in gnome, how do i cahnge my dtk theme
[06:52] <surfdue> gtk*
[06:52] <guzu> a-ha! there's a package called discover :)
[06:53] <maximaus> I don't know if it's the live CD or a borked HDD, but both partitions are borked.
[06:53] <f_newton> volatile either locate or whereis the files first to learn where they all installed to
[06:53] <f_newton> which could do the job too
[06:53] <f_newton> rm -rf is a very powerful and permanent solution
[06:53] <paganini> ROFL!
[06:53] <selinium> Seveas: I am having problems with Xauthority. Can you help?
[06:53] <brenner> surfdue: gnome-theme-manager?
[06:54] <Bjorn2> heh
[06:54] <Bjorn2> I can't eject my cd anymore
[06:54] <Bjorn2> when i type eject in terminal
[06:54] <Bjorn2> it does nothing
[06:54] <topyli> volatile_: you can remove an empty dir with rmdir. if it's not empty, you need rm -rf as noted
[06:54] <f_newton> what is the output Bjorn2 ?
[06:54] <Bjorn2> ject: unable to eject, last error: Onjuist argument
[06:54] <Seveas> selinium, just remove the ~/.Xauthority file :)
[06:54] <guzu> Bjorn2, umount -l
[06:54] <Bjorn2> Its dutch :x
[06:54] <eruin> anyone know which package provides fglrxinfo ?
[06:54] <chmuri> hi
[06:55] <guzu> Bjorn2, only if you loose your hope to find out who's locking the cd drive :)
[06:55] <surfdue> does ubuntu come with a text to speach program
[06:55] <brenner> ubotu: tell eruin about ati
[06:55] <apokryphos> eruin: xorg-driver-fglrx
[06:55] <selinium> Seveas: Done that. But i stil get error   Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file.
[06:55] <chmuri> whos from poland i need help..:)
[06:55] <Arnia> surfdue: Festival
[06:55] <f_newton> Bjorn2, if all else faile reboot the box and eject it that way ...or get a paper clip and find the little hole
[06:55] <RiXtEr> hey all... just got my ubuntu system installed... i need a root password though... any ideas?
[06:55] <paganini> So, apparently the kernel has a problem with Compaq Presario SR1010NX desktops (they use MSI motherboards of some sort). It doesn't get past loading init.rd before it resets. Apparently, some Asus motherboards also have this same problem.
[06:55] <Bjorn2> reboot the whole system
[06:55] <selinium> Seveas: after i have logged back in again
[06:56] <Bjorn2> or just X ?
[06:56] <f_newton> Seveas, was that ask richard comment concerning planetmirror?
[06:56] <metis> can someone help me figure out my postfix? trying to make it work for my creloaded website
[06:56] <paganini> With Fedora, there's a patched kernel you can download to boot off of, then switch to the regular install media.
[06:56] <HappyFool> Bjorn2: try to find out what's using the cdrom using 'lsof' or 'fuser' (e.g., lsof /dev/cdrom)
[06:56] <surfdue> how do i start this festival
[06:56] <surfdue> or getit
[06:56] <Bjorn2> nautilus is
[06:56] <paganini> My question is: is there anything like this for ubuntu? And, how likely is it that the fedora patched boot kernel would be able to install Ubuntu?
[06:57] <volatile_> I have a tather simple question but I can't figure it out, how do you determine the disk space left on your HD?
[06:57] <Bjorn2> but i don't see it on my screen?
[06:57] <f_newton> paganini, uh compaq either uses gigabyte or aopen boards
[06:57] <HappyFool> Bjorn2: hmm. no minimized windows?
[06:57] <surfdue> nvm
[06:57] <Bjorn2> nope
[06:57] <dgottfried> volatile_: df -ahl
[06:57] <HappyFool> Bjorn2: well, you can either try to track it down, or just logout and login and try again
[06:57] <Seveas> f_newton, no that was to eruin
[06:57] <paganini> f_newton, check this thread: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/archive/18/2005/02/1/229524
[06:57] <volatile_> lol, ok :D
[06:57] <Seveas> I know nothing about planetmirror
[06:57] <f_newton> ok thanks....
[06:58] <guzu> Bjorn2, for root password, i've booted in safe mode (or whatever name has the second entry on the grub menu wich in fact is runlevel1), then: passwd and entered the root password i want
[06:58] <chmuri> what is the asembler and turbo pascal for linux programs??
[06:58] <Seveas> chmuri, fpc
[06:58] <HappyFool> Bjorn2: i guess 'pkill nautilus' might work too; not sure what that will break
[06:58] <Seveas> (for pascal)
[06:58] <topyli> guzu: you might as well do "sudo passwd root" :)
[06:59] <HappyFool> assembler is nasm, or gas (i think)
[06:59] <f_newton> paganini, while I cannot put it past them and it is possible ive missed a run or two.. ive never known compaq to use msi boards... I guess I live and learn eh?   you did id it with the fccid# right?
[06:59] <Bjorn2> hmm
[06:59] <Bjorn2> i killed nautilus
[06:59] <Bjorn2> it was hidden somewhere Oo
[06:59] <Seveas> HappyFool, gas indeed
[07:00] <eruin> hmm, are packages supposed to put stuff in /usr/X11R6 ?
[07:00] <ninjafish> hmm taking of root, my root terminal does not ask for a password any more, how do I unroot myself?
[07:00] <surfdue> does festival have a gue?
[07:00] <surfdue> gui
[07:00] <eruin> I mean, wasn't that changed to /usr/X11 or similar?
[07:00] <Seveas> eruin, on hoary: yes, on breezy: possibly, but not in breezy final
[07:00] <f_newton> Seveas, I cannot seem to get planetmirror.com (backport extras) to load in browser or using apt-get and I was wondering if anyone knew if it was down... I need java
[07:00] <HappyFool> !hoary-extras
[07:00] <ubotu> somebody said hoary-extras was see  http://backports.ubuntuforums.org ; example hoary repo: deb http://ubuntu-backports.mirrormax.net/ hoary-extras main universe multiverse restricted
[07:00] <Seveas> !hoary-extras
[07:00] <Seveas> hey!
[07:00] <HappyFool> :P
[07:01] <bratsche> surfdue: I don't think so.
[07:01] <paganini> f_newton, nah, I don't have physical access to the machine. It's in kansas city. I'm basing my assement on my trust in the competence of others.
[07:01] <surfdue> is there a text to speach app with a gui?
[07:01] <paganini> So, I could be totally wrong. :)
[07:01] <Seveas> f_newton, grab another mirror from that page
[07:01] <f_newton> ok Seveas will try...
[07:01] <Seveas> f_newton, or use 'deb http://seveas.ubuntulinux.nl/ /' while it's up
[07:02] <f_newton> paganini you can go to compaq site with model number and possibly the data sheet will help you...  I have to run.'..thanks for the help y'all
[07:02] <HappyFool> oh, the assembler is called 'as' -- was wondering where it was
[07:02] <surfdue> is there a text to speach app with a gui??
[07:02] <paganini> Cool
[07:03] <chmuri> fpc in google i find??
[07:03] <topyli> surfdue: i think the target audience of text-to-speech doen't care much about guis :)
[07:03] <HappyFool> chmuri: there's a 'gpc' in the ubuntu repositories (gnu pascal compiler)
[07:03] <srid> why not this official? http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A//nginyang.uvt.nl/&ei=aWIHQ8exH6b4-AG79tG_Dg&sig2=fUXc1AhnZRytsfEgS0ttVQ

[07:04] <apokryphos> srid: what is it?
[07:05] <HappyFool> ubuntu dvd image
[07:05] <apokryphos> and how is it not official?
[07:05] <apokryphos> you can download all of it from releases.ubuntu.com
[07:05] <HappyFool> it's not hosted on ubuntu.com (so i presume)
[07:05] <apokryphos> it is
[07:05] <HappyFool> well, the dvd bittorrent thing went missing for a while
[07:06] <Bjorn2> :(
[07:06] <HappyFool> and there wasn't an http link before -- is there one now?
[07:06] <Bjorn2> I tried to compile xchat 2.4.4 for my system
[07:06] <surfdue> configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
[07:06] <surfdue> See `config.log' for more details.
[07:06] <srid> will shipit.ubuntulinux.org ship DVDs?
[07:06] <surfdue> how do i fix this
[07:06] <Bjorn2> But when i start it it says 2.4.1 ?
[07:06] <HappyFool> surfdue: import 'build-essential'
[07:06] <srid> Bjorn2: try /usr/local/bin/xchat
[07:06] <apokryphos> srid: I don't think so, no. But the Install CD is thought to become live+install
[07:06] <apokryphos> not sure about the development in htat, but it was a thought flying around some time ago
[07:07] <chmuri> when the new ubuntu version its steable relase
[07:07] <chmuri> ??

[07:07] <surfdue> build-dep xchat
[07:07] <surfdue> what will that do.

[07:08] <raven3x7> surfdue, well if you lack more dependencies that will probably get them
[07:08] <raven3x7> sander__, do try to use apt and synaptic at the same time?

[07:14] <HappyFool> QMario: TMPDIR=/tmp/or/whatever,  or export TMPDIR=/tmp/or/whatever
[07:14] <QMario>
[07:14] <HappyFool> raven3x7: i think that was Bjorn2 (?)
[07:14] <QMario> Okay.
[07:14] <raven3x7> although why xchat would need qt...
[07:14] <surfdue> configure: error: Failed to find matching components of a complete
[07:14] <surfdue>                   Qt installation. Try using more options,
[07:14] <surfdue>                   see ./configure --help.
[07:14] <Bjorn2> I was
[07:14] <surfdue> hmm
[07:14] <Bjorn2> building it
[07:14] <QMario> What does "foo" mean?
[07:14] <raven3x7> oh heh
[07:14] <tenco> test
[07:14] <setite> name
[07:15] <desrt> does anyone know what the story with /lib/linux-restricted-modules is?
[07:15] <HappyFool> you're supposed to replace it with whatever you need
[07:15] <othernoob> foo is a secret code QMario :p
[07:15] <HappyFool> surfdue: you installed the dev library ?
[07:15] <tennlaw207> hello nalioth are you there
[07:15] <Spudchat> still no luck :(
[07:15] <surfdue> yes
[07:15] <setite> yea foo is the variable that you put your name or whatever in
[07:15] <QMario> !foo
[07:15] <ubotu> baz
[07:15] <desrt> !foo
[07:15] <hybrid_goth> lol
[07:15] <setite> little bunny foo foo
[07:15] <raven3x7> surfdue what are you compi;ing?
[07:15] <hybrid_goth> !foo foo
[07:15] <ubotu> hybrid_goth: I haven't a clue
[07:15] <surfdue> trying tooo
[07:15] <surfdue> lol
[07:15] <HappyFool> surfdue: hmm. can you place the output of './configure' on the pastebin ?
[07:15] <QMario>  The Muppets.
[07:16] <setite> somebody slap me
[07:16] <setite> i returned to the dark side
[07:16] <Spudchat> where do things i install with stnaptic go?
[07:16] <setite> i wiped my drive.. adn reinstalled windoze
[07:16] <surfdue> http://pastebin.com/341691
[07:16] <kirtis> Spudchat, all over the place.
[07:16] <Spudchat> eheh
[07:16] <Spudchat> how bout eggdrop?
[07:17] <HappyFool> surfdue: is there an URL for this software?
[07:17] <QMario> Mmmm.
[07:17] <Spudchat> how would i search for it?
[07:17] <Spudchat> sorry im still adjusting to linux from windows
[07:17] <HappyFool> !repos
[07:17] <ubotu> repos is, like, at http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/AddingRepositoriesHowto A list of official repositories can be found at http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/969
[07:17] <setite> but yea...replace foo with your name or whatever you would put there
[07:18] <surfdue> http://freshmeat.net/projects/alias/
[07:18] <kirtis> Spudchat, find /usr -name eggdrop maybe?
[07:18] <setite> and its not ubuntus fault i quit linux
[07:18] <setite> its cedega's
[07:18] <hybrid_goth> lol
[07:18] <HappyFool> Spudchat: read those links; add the repositories, and then search for eggdrop again.
[07:18] <Spudchat> i did add the repos
[07:18] <kirtis> Spudchat, Actually the easy way is to look at the contents of the eggdrop package to see what it installed, i'm trying to find the option
[07:18] <hybrid_goth> setite: life is easier if you use the alternatives
[07:18] <setite> it was too bad... i would click an attack.. and it would take between 2 and 10 damn seconds to actually register the click
[07:18] <tenco> setite: who is cedega?
[07:19] <topyli> heh
[07:19] <setite> !cedega
[07:19] <ubotu> cedega is, like, totally, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Cedega
[07:19] <Spudchat> and kirtis it said usr is a directory
[07:19] <HappyFool> surfdue: i think the configure script may be buggy -- line 131 looks a bit suspicious
[07:19] <jordan_> they make a wine distro with a config tool
[07:19] <surfdue> k
[07:19] <kirtis> Spudchat, dpkg -c /var/cache/apt/archives/name_of_deb.deb will show you the contents
[07:19] <hybrid_goth> tenco: emulation proggy
[07:19] <setite> cedega is WineX project to play win games on linux
[07:19] <tenco> and?
[07:19] <setite> it sucks
[07:19] <tenco> and? :)
[07:19] <hybrid_goth> lol
[07:19] <Spudchat> im sorry i dont think i understand that :(
[07:19] <paganini> For the amount of time necessary to mess with cedega (and the fact that you have to pay for it unless you *really* want to mess with it yourself) it's cheaper just to have a second computer running XP
[07:20] <topyli> xgalaga works very well natively
[07:20] <setite> and then?
[07:20] <hybrid_goth> UT is native to linux
[07:20] <paganini> UT obviously rocks.
[07:20] <setite> thats one game
[07:20] <tenco> why do you need an emulator?
[07:20] <setite> and then there is like another
[07:20] <setite> tenco are you serious?
[07:20] <paganini> Doom3 is too, isn't it?
[07:20] <tenco> setite: yes
[07:20] <setite> yea both games i dotn play
[07:20] <spola> he tends to be serious
[07:20] <hybrid_goth> paganini: i think do
[07:20] <hybrid_goth> **so
[07:20] <kirtis> Spudchat, just run that command in a terminal, it'll show you what the package installs.  Replace name_of_deb.deb with the actual name.
[07:21] <paganini> But, say, if you want Shogun: Total War, you in trouble.
[07:21] <setite> tenco i own games... that i bought so i could play them... under linux they either dont play at all or play so poorly that they might as well be unplayable
[07:21] <jordan_> what were you trying to play?
[07:21] <tenco> setite: ah, ok. i used to play games. but i gave it up. too expensive.
[07:21] <kirtis> That's what a ps2 is for, IMO.
[07:22] <Klementas> it seems that Ubuntu doesn't update software, except for security/bugfixes, until the next release, or is there some way to get newer versions ?
[07:22] <HappyFool> Spudchat: if your repositories are setup, you should be able to find 'eggdrop' in synaptic
[07:22] <reiki> Spamassassin question: using debug I'm being told spamassassin can't find Net/DNS.pm.  How do I manually dearch my system for that file?
[07:22] <topyli> kirtis: and windows :)
[07:22] <setite> nah... consoles are not nearly as good as a pc
[07:22] <hybrid_goth> Klementas: backports
[07:22] <hybrid_goth> !backports
[07:22] <ubotu> backports are applications with newer versions on a stable distributions. Ubuntu backports can be found in the hoary-backports section
[07:22] <setite> selection or quality
[07:22] <spuho> hello. my ubuntu doesn't recognize that I have a blank CD in my drive when I'm trying to burn..what's the problem?
[07:22] <HappyFool> surfdue: sorry, i'm not sure how to fix your problem
[07:22] <Spudchat> found him!!!!
[07:22] <surfdue> k
[07:22] <Klementas> hmmmm, so I need to add a line to my sources.list then
[07:23] <surfdue> does anyone know a good text to speech
[07:23] <surfdue> app
[07:23] <Spudchat> i did find him in synaptic but now i need to ./configure
[07:23] <HappyFool> Spudchat: no
[07:23] <Spudchat> and he claims i have no tcl
[07:23] <hybrid_goth> surfdue: flite
[07:23] <HappyFool> Spudchat: the whole point of using synaptic is that you don't have to compile
[07:23] <spuho> I tried burning with nautilus and burn and they both refuse to believe I have a blank cd in the drive
[07:23] <HappyFool> Spudchat: if you installed with synaptic, you have eggdrop compiled and ready to run
[07:23] <Spudchat> so all i have to do is edit the config and run eggdrop with that config?
[07:23] <HappyFool> Spudchat: i presume so; i have never used eggdrop
[07:23] <hybrid_goth> spuho: ya sure it is blank?
[07:23] <Spudchat> ok thanks
[07:23] <Spudchat> ill give it a shot
[07:24] <spuho> hybrid_goth: yea
[07:24] <hybrid_goth> spuho: is the burner se to look at the drive?
[07:24] <tenco> setite: i bought me a physics textbook for the price of two games (~70) -> >1300 pages and 3,3 kg of dead tree! :)
[07:24] <tenco> instead*
[07:24] <paganini> Heheh
[07:24] <maximaus> Sitting here waiting for Feather Linux to fsck my borked Warty...Upgrade to Hoary or Breezy's last candidate?
[07:24] <hybrid_goth> tenco: lol
[07:24] <spuho> hybrid_goth: se? what do you mean?
[07:24] <paganini> Tenco, you ever see the THomas Finney calc book?
[07:25] <paganini> TWO ENTIRE TREES!
[07:25] <hybrid_goth> maximaus: hoary
[07:25] <tenco> paganini: ugh o_O
[07:25] <hybrid_goth> spuho: make sure nautilus is looking at the drive with the blank cd
[07:25] <maximaus> hybrid_goth:  Yeah--to be honest I'm still happy with Warty, installed it in December. :P
[07:25] <raven3x7> surfdue i believe lingoteach comes with one(?) and theres an ubuntu package for it
[07:26] <hybrid_goth> maximaus: yea hoary is nice though
[07:26] <tenco> paganini: if i cobmine my pysics textbook, my bronstein, my stcker and my Oxford AL i should also come near to this %-)
[07:26] <tenco> s/cobmine/combine/
[07:26] <spuho> hybrid_goth: I only have one drive and it recognizes it's a CD burning drive
[07:26] <maximaus> One last question: possible to replace Xorg with Xfree in Hoary (I've got the dreaded i810)
[07:26] <kirtis> maximaus, yup, you'd only have xfree if you did an upgrade.
[07:27] <paganini> I cleaned my room recently, and found a bunch of old stuff from when I was in school.
[07:27] <reiki> there's a boatload of people in #spamassassin but you could hear a pin drop in there. :)
[07:27] <paganini> Like, entire linux manuals that I'd printed out.
[07:27] <maximaus> kirtis: I'm a bit confused, I thought Hoary came with Xorg by default?
[07:27] <paganini> The Art of Assembler, frex, filled two binders.
[07:27] <HappyFool> reiki: their filters are obviously overefficient
[07:27] <hybrid_goth> spuho: ok are you trying to burn and it gives you an error about not seeing it or about not being blank?
[07:27] <kirtis> maximaus, It does, but, IIRC if you upgrade it stays with xfree.
[07:27] <tenco> reiki: like in #netbsd most of the time? :)
[07:27] <hybrid_goth> paganini: wow
[07:27] <reiki> HappyFool: indeed. :)
[07:27] <paganini> I had like 3 reams of paper. My trash bag weighed like 50 pounds.
[07:27] <kirtis> maximaus, So it's easier to just install fresh
[07:28] <maximaus> kirtis, I'm doing a fresh install due to my HDD.
[07:28] <spuho> hybrid_goth: it says "please enter a blank disk"
[07:28] <spola> why was ubuntu based on debian?
[07:28] <hybrid_goth> paganini: i would have taken that book
[07:28] <dubnium> is it possible to upgrade to the amd64 platform if i installed the i386?
[07:28] <hybrid_goth> spuho: hmm. well idk from here sorry
[07:28] <bender_> sup
[07:28] <maximaus> kirtis: do I look for xfree in synaptic after install?
[07:28] <kirtis> dubnium, I'd have to say no.
[07:28] <spuho> hybrid_goth: ok well
[07:28] <spola> nuffin, just chillin
[07:28] <spuho> i must suffer then
[07:28] <hybrid_goth> b3nd3r is l33t
[07:28] <tenco> paganini: entire linux manuals? but you have a monitor attached to your computer, right? ;-)
[07:28] <reiki> I'm so close to having this working CORRECTLY. I have Spamassassin catching spam in Evolution simply by adding a filter that pipes to spamassassin. But it's ignoring whitelist_from and it's not tagging the subject line.
[07:28] <kirtis> maximaus, No, you don't have to do anything.  You'll already have xorg after installing hoary.
[07:28] <Xenguy> spola: freedom and technical excellence
[07:28] <mjr> dubnium, not really, reainstall over it. You can retain old data if you do it by hand.
[07:28] <spuho> thanks anyway
[07:28] <hybrid_goth> spuho: try an external drive
[07:28] <b3nd3r> \/3rY leet
[07:29] <hybrid_goth> lol
[07:29] <spuho> hybrid_goth: please elaborate
[07:29] <b3nd3r> so ya
[07:29] <andrei> hello. i am trying to set the font encoding for totem-xine but no luck. does anyone know how to do that ? thanks
[07:29] <b3nd3r> im bord
[07:29] <maximaus> kirtis: LOL, thing is that I don't want Xorg as it doesn't offer acceleration for my onboard vid card. Not a huge deal, but wondering if I could *downgrade* to Xfree like in Warty. :P
[07:29] <HappyFool> maximaus: there's an xserver-xfree86 package in universe
[07:29] <paganini> tenco: Yeah, two of them now in fact. But like, when you most need manuals is when you can't read online.
[07:29] <hybrid_goth> spuho: i would try connecting an external burner and try to burn using that drive.
[07:29] <paganini> Like, when the kernel won't boot, say.
[07:30] <paganini> :)
[07:30] <maximaus> HappyFool: Cool! :D
[07:30] <HappyFool> maximaus: version 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6ubuntu26
[07:30] <pudland> any help on scanner drivers??
[07:30] <b3nd3r> any one using Ubuntu 64?
[07:30] <kirtis> maximaus, oooooh.  Probably.. i think it's still there.
[07:30] <spuho> hybrid_goth:ok, I'll see what I can do, thanks
[07:30] <mjr> b3nd3r, yes
[07:30] <reiki> anyone good with spamassassin? I'm close to having a good spam tagging tool here... just a couple minor things :)
[07:30] <hybrid_goth> spuho: good luck
[07:30] <Scrawny1> hey guy just a real quick question for ya's :)
[07:30] <b3nd3r> mjr is it noticibly faster?
[07:30] <HappyFool> maximaus: not sure if anyone uses it; maybe you should ask around a bit more
[07:30] <Scrawny1> how do I upgrade xchat to 2.4.4?
[07:31] <reiki> what's the command line entry to search for a file anywhere in my filesystem?
[07:31] <HappyFool> maximaus: not that i'd know ;) but i think most ppl on hoary use xorg
[07:31] <maximaus> Thanks all, I'm assuming I'll have to edit some text too, but as long as Xfree is available in Synaptic, I'll give it a shot. :D
[07:31] <Xenguy> reiki: just ask
[07:31] <hybrid_goth> Scrawny1: backports
[07:31] <hybrid_goth> !backports
[07:31] <ubotu> backports are applications with newer versions on a stable distributions. Ubuntu backports can be found in the hoary-backports section
[07:31] <paganini> If, between now and then, someone discovers some miraculous way to get Ubuntu to install on that Compaq Presario, drop me a PM
[07:31] <selinium> Seveas: worked out the problem. I had maxed out my HD so it couldn't rewrite the Xauthority file.
[07:31] <reiki> I'm so close to having this working CORRECTLY. I have Spamassassin catching spam in Evolution simply by adding a filter that pipes to spamassassin. But it's ignoring whitelist_from and it's not tagging the subject line.
[07:31] <apokryphos> reiki: easy way: locate (you'll need to have updatedb before). Other way: find / | grep {somefile}
[07:31] <b3nd3r> paganini ...
[07:31] <Xenguy> reiki: 'find' or 'locate'
[07:31] <mjr> b3nd3r, depends what you mean by "noticably"
[07:31] <b3nd3r> paganini im running a Compaq Presario 2100 laptop... perfectly fine.
[07:32] <Xenguy> reiki: 'locate' requires you to run 'sudo updatedb' first
[07:32] <Scrawny1> ok whats the website to get all the repsositories?
[07:32] <b3nd3r> mjr well ive never ran 64 so when i get my new lappy in im wanding if its gonna be a lot faster
[07:32] <mjr> b3nd3r, your browser probably won't be noticably altered, but your long encoding jobs will
[07:32] <b3nd3r> hmm ok
[07:33] <b3nd3r> how about X and shit.. still the same
[07:33] <b3nd3r> ?
[07:33] <paganini> b3nd3r, it's with this monterboard:
[07:33] <paganini> http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&lang=en&cc=us&product=403786&dlc=en&docname=c00063244
[07:33] <glick> http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=25529
[07:33] <glick> i dont get what thats about
[07:33] <apokryphos> much, much faster, yes.
[07:33] <mjr> b3nd3r, basically everything where the CPU is the bottleneck will improve
[07:33] <mjr> but the UI is generally not one of these things
[07:33] <glick> linus asking for license fees to use the linux name?
[07:33] <b3nd3r> hmm good point
[07:33] <reiki> ok ... sudo locate DNS.pm found nothing. This appears to be a perl module? And Spamassassin is looking for it
[07:34] <Xenguy> glick: yeah, I found that weird also
[07:34] <b3nd3r> mjr what are you specs?
[07:34] <Xenguy> reiki: did you install from package or source?
[07:34] <kirtis> reiki, apt-get install libnet-dns-perl?
[07:34] <mjr> why does it matter?
[07:34] <b3nd3r> just wonderin
[07:34] <reiki> Xenguy: I installed using apt-get install
[07:34] <Flying-Penguin> does anyone know how to open firestarter?
[07:34] <rmflagg> I have a question about gdm under Hoary.  About a week ago, my default session changed from Fluxbox to Gnome AND it no longer asks if I want to change my default session setting.  Any idea what could have happened?
[07:35] <Flying-Penguin> I am trying to edit my firewall
[07:35] <reiki> kirtis: I could try that... :)
[07:35] <Xenguy> reiki: what kirtis said
[07:36] <Scrawny1> !bucksport help
[07:36] <ubotu> Scrawny1: I give up, what is it?
[07:36] <reiki> Xenguy: ok installed that... gonna run spamassassin through debug again and see if that fixed anything...
[07:36] <booger> is there a way to find out the speed of a dvd -rw drive??
[07:36] <b3nd3r> mjr what are your specs? laptop or desktop?
[07:36] <Flying-Penguin> what program would I run to mess with my firewall?
[07:36] <HappyFool> firestarter
[07:37] <Scrawny1> where can I get new bucksports?
[07:37] <HappyFool> what's a bucksport ?
[07:37] <apokryphos> backport, I presume
[07:37] <apokryphos> !sources
[07:37] <ubotu> sources are at http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/AddingRepositoriesHowto A list of official repositories can be found at http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/969
[07:37] <Scrawny1> thank- you :)
[07:38] <b3nd3r> OMFG that was goooood
[07:38] <b3nd3r> Ice Cold PEPSI in the morning
[07:38] <b3nd3r> :)
[07:38] <apokryphos> any drink but milk in the morning is evil
[07:38] <b3nd3r> lol
[07:39] <wsmith> In which channel would I find experts in X (especially MergedFB problems)?
[07:39] <b3nd3r> pepsi is like the oposite of milk.. it does a body bad.. and destroys your bones lol
[07:39] <rmflagg> Is anyone out there well steeped in GDM settings?
[07:39] <b3nd3r> wsmith whats the issue
[07:39] <kirtis> booger, lshal|grep read_speed ? maybe
[07:39] <wsmith> b3nd3r, whenever I go into an opengl app, one of my viewports resets to offset 0,0
[07:40] <reiki> Xenguy and kirtis: ok that fixed the complaint in debug mode. Now I get absolutely no errors, and I can see it's looking in the right places for conf files, but it's still not modifying teh subject line, using whitelist_from, or even adding X-Spam headers. It's not modifying the headers at all
[07:40] <b3nd3r> offset 0,0 meaning??? it goes blank?
[07:40] <wsmith> no, it goes to the same viewport as the other one (it becomes a clone of sorts)
[07:40] <b3nd3r> ah
[07:40] <b3nd3r> hmm
[07:40] <wsmith> But the mouse cursor spans the two. Really confusing
[07:41] <b3nd3r> damn that is wierd
[07:41] <b3nd3r> i never did think about opengl/d3d with more than one screen.. i just had 4 monitors for my 2d destkop on kde
[07:41] <b3nd3r> what card
[07:41] <wsmith> el cheapo radeon 7000
[07:41] <b3nd3r> pffft
[07:41] <b3nd3r> good luck
[07:42] <Xenguy> reiki: It was too long ago for me to be of further help.  I know that using SA's bayesian filters with large portions of sample spam and ham dramatically increased the effectiveness of SA for me tho
[07:42] <Xenguy> reiki: i.e. 'sa-learn'
[07:42] <b3nd3r> those ATI's are a joke.. i could write better drivers for those cards than ATI and i failed algebra 4
[07:42] <rmflagg> Rats...can anyone see this message?
[07:42] <Xenguy> rmflagg: yes
[07:42] <b3nd3r> yes
[07:42] <b3nd3r> we so should have said no
[07:42] <wsmith> b3nd3r, I'm using radeon (not the proprietary ati drivers)
[07:43] <b3nd3r> hmm
[07:43] <reiki> Xenguy: oh it's WORKING as far as catching spam. It's even sorting it into a Spam folder I created. It's just ignoring the local.cf and user_prefs files as far as whitelisting and changing the header
[07:43] <rmflagg> I have a question about gdm under Hoary.  About a week ago, my default session changed from Fluxbox to Gnome AND it no longer asks if I want to change my default session setting.  Any idea what could have happened?
[07:43] <wsmith> I get dri, and it's pretty zippy, but goes nuts in ogl
[07:43] <Xenguy> reiki: you'll get there - good luck :-)
[07:43] <b3nd3r> rmflagg not sure why that happend but if you want it back i can show you how...
[07:43] <rmflagg> That would be of great help!
[07:43] <b3nd3r> wsmith man i have no idea...
[07:43] <reiki> Xenguy: thanks :)  at least teh DNS thing is fixed... now to get it tagging.....
[07:44] <b3nd3r> rmflagg so you want fluxbox back?
[07:44] <wsmith> brb. randomly changing xorg.conf values...
[07:44] <Scrawny1> thats not what I was looking for
[07:44] <rmflagg> Fluxbox is there....It's just that the settings in GDM no longer recognize the "Last" setting or the "Default" setting.  I just always go to Gnome no matter what.
[07:46] <b3nd3r> rmflagg i can show you have to get fluxbox working again .......... if thats what you mean... give me a few though
[07:46] <b3nd3r> where the hell is xinitrc located for user$
[07:46] <rmflagg> Ok
[07:47] <wsmith> woot
[07:47] <Scrawny1> I'm only going to ask this once more Where do you find extra backsports, besides the one I already have

[07:56] <kemik> spola:  nah.. it's not.. it's illegal to download copyrighted material though
[07:56] <kemik> the site itself is not illegal ;)
[07:56] <filip_> i cant install valknut, i have an file called valknut.deb in /home/filip/Desktop/valknut.deb then this command should install it:
[07:56] <filip_> sudo apt-get install /home/filip/Desktop/valknut.deb
[07:56] <taw> hello :-)
[07:56] <filip_> does i have wrong?
[07:56] <kemik> filip_:  dpkg -i file.deb
[07:56] <rmflagg> Whaaah!  I just need to change settings in GDM, but I don't know what to change!
[07:56] <kemik> filip_:  dpkg installs .deb packages
[07:57] <kemik> !dpkg
[07:57] <ubotu> dpkg is, like, totally, the Debian Package Manager: sudo dpkg --install package.deb
[07:57] <ninjafish> scawnyl, I was in #linux the other day, i asked if anyone knew an MP3 player that would mount on linux as a Mass Storage Device. I was told to RTFM, google it etc. When I commented that I do not have all the manuals and manufactures tend to always say XP only I was muted
[07:57] <b3nd3r> rmflagg one sec
[07:57] <filip_> kemik, okej when does i use apt-get install then?
[07:57] <Scrawny1> like I realy care if you ppl /ignore me I just thought maybe I can get help w/ this operating system w/o ppl saying to google when I've already it
[07:57] <kemik> filip_:  when you install stuff from the depositories
[07:57] <filip_> kemik, okej
[07:57] <booger> how can i find the max write speed for a dvd drive
[07:57] <kemik> repositories even
[07:58] <spola> don't google, yahoo!
[07:58] <kemik> !tell Scrawny1 about repositories
[07:58] <kemik> !tell Scrawny1 backports
[07:58] <spola> google is *evul*
[07:58] <kemik> !tell Scrawny1 hoary-extras
[07:58] <kemik> there you go Scrawny1
[07:58] <wsmith> hmm. are there any command line flags to send to an sdl app to tell it which video mode to use (like all xlib apps use -geometry)
[07:58] <othernoob> why does * not work when there are numbers involved?
[07:59] <Scrawny1> theres a command I for get what it is that starts w/ echo that forces updates
[07:59] <absenth> assuming I install the nvidia driver via apt-get, how do I get dual head up and running?
[07:59] <Scrawny1> er sorry upgrades
[08:00] <blockhead> !tell blockhead backports
[08:01] <booger> how can i find the max write speed for a dvd drive
[08:01] <snippy> hey there
[08:01] <snippy> can someone help me ?
[08:01] <snippy> /bin/mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/src': File exists
[08:01] <snippy> /bin/ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/src/linux' to `': No such file or directory
[08:01] <snippy> Can't find the kernel sources. Please, install them and run this program.
[08:01] <snippy> I installed the kernel sources
[08:01] <snippy> but usr/src/linux/ does not exist
[08:01] <Myrtti> note for those who tried to help me earlier with my usb memory that didn't work. It didn't mount on even Windows and I went to the store I bought it from and got one twice as big in return.
[08:01] <Scrawny1> thanks for the lack of help I'll remember this when my friends want to d/l Ubuntu
[08:02] <Myrtti> Scrawny1: what was the prob...
[08:02] <Myrtti> okkkk
[08:02] <filip_> kemik, i dont get it work should it be like this sudo dpgk -i /home/filip/Desktop/valknut.deb ?
[08:02] <aru> whats USB memory?
[08:02] <Myrtti> snippy: try #flood next time
[08:02] <booger> how can i find the max write speed for a dvd drive
[08:02] <Myrtti> aru: usb flash memory
[08:02] <booger> ???
[08:02] <aru> oh
[08:02] <aru> I was thinking USB ram... wondering why I hadn't heard of this :)
[08:03] <snippy> Myrtti thanks for the tip :) oh my.. IT WORKED!!  I formatted it in Linux (apparently the wrong way) and broke it for good.
[08:04] <wsmith> booger: find the part number on the bottom of the drive and google for it. works for me about 50% of the time
[08:04] <booger> never mind I found out
[08:05] <snippy> how can I create a link to /usr/src/linux/ ?
[08:05] <wsmith> ... or stick some media in there and use speed=90000 to dvdrecord
[08:05] <dalamar> ln -s
[08:05] <barongas> I just installed my first ubuntu-dist, and it didn't ask me to supply a root password. How do I change it?
[08:05] <JazyPPC> ln -s
[08:05] <rmflagg> b3nd3r which shit is that?
[08:05] <dalamar> barongas, sudo passwd root
[08:05] <dalamar> though you'll rarely use it with ubuntu
[08:06] <Myrtti> barongas: you don't use root password
[08:06] <Paganini> You can't login as root by default, but all the sysadmin stuff is protected by it, also by default.
[08:06] <barongas> dalamar: It asks me to supply the root password when typing it in.
[08:06] <Myrtti> you do it thru sudo
[08:06] <JazyPPC> anyone ever use an atmel based wifi chip and got it to work?
[08:06] <snippy> how can I create a link to /usr/src/linux/ ?
[08:06] <barongas> Don't I need root for apt etc...
[08:06] <Paganini> You have to enter it to use Synaptic, frex.
[08:06] <Myrtti> barongas: sudo apt
[08:06] <filip_> how does i install my .deb file that is placed in /home/filip/Desktop/valknut.deb ?
[08:07] <dalamar> you use sudo for apt etc, which uses your main user passwd
[08:07] <Myrtti> barongas: use your own password
[08:07] <dalamar> so 'sudo passwd root' you actually have to put in your user pw before you can actually change the root pw
[08:08] <barongas> Thanks
[08:08] <Myrtti> indeed
[08:08] <snippy> anyone? <.<
[08:08] <b3nd3r> Paganini ... back?
[08:08] <Paganini> Yep
[08:08] <Ummmmm> I have a question: WHY?!
[08:08] <Paganini> I sent you a PM
[08:08] <b3nd3r> neet
[08:08] <Myrtti> snippy: ln -s
[08:08] <Myrtti> snippy: man ln
[08:08] <b3nd3r> ?
[08:08] <stretched_lobes> hello
[08:08] <wsmith> snippy: ln -s /usr/src/kernel-source<tab> /usr/src/linux
[08:08] <b3nd3r> ya i was lookin at that shit
[08:08] <stretched_lobes> I have a quick question
[08:08] <snippy> thanks mates
[08:08] <wsmith> snippy: followed by ln -s /usr/src/linux /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build
[08:09] <stretched_lobes> I have an Irock mp3 player
[08:09] <ninjafish> yes
[08:09] <absenth> 39217 frames in 5.0 seconds = 7843.400 FPS.......  Nice.
[08:09] <stretched_lobes> is there any way to upload my mp3's to the irock
[08:09] <wsmith> *sniff* I finally get MergedFB running for dual-headed accelerated goodness, and all the damn games have 4:3 aspect locked in!
[08:09] <umberleigh> where does ubuntu keep it's grub.conf file? i can't seem to find it
[08:09] <stretched_lobes> I am trying to go totally without windoze
[08:10] <snippy> wtf, I cant do a tab in terminal
[08:10] <wsmith> umberleigh, /boot/grub/menu.lst
[08:10] <b3nd3r> onlything i could think of is to nigger rig the shit to boot
[08:10] <ninjafish> stretched_lobes, how does the player mount in XP?
[08:10] <Bjorn2> where can I look if my 3d card acc is working ?
[08:10] <ninjafish> is it a usb disk
[08:10] <Bjorn2> acceleration
[08:10] <stretched_lobes> it had software that i downloaded from irock
[08:10] <wsmith> Bjorn2, type glxinfo. the third or so line should say "Direct Rendering... YES"
[08:10] <stretched_lobes> connects through usb
[08:11] <othernoob> mmh, why does * not work when there are numbers involved? for example lame -h -b 192 *.wav *.mp3 won't work (the wavs are 01, 02, 03...)
[08:11] <umberleigh> ahh. that'd explain why find /etc/ -name grub.conf && find /boot/ -name grub.conf didn't turn anything up
[08:11] <Bjorn2> yay
[08:11] <Bjorn2> its working
[08:11] <Bjorn2> :D
[08:11] <wsmith> othernoob, the shell expands those...
[08:11] <ninjafish> stretched, what happens if you connect it to your pc when linux is running, does it appear on the desktop?
[08:11] <othernoob> wsmith: meaning?
[08:11] <b3nd3r> man i need to sell my laptop!
[08:11] <Bjorn2> What "free" opengl shooters are there wsmith  :D?
[08:11] <filip_> how does i install .deb ?
[08:11] <barongas> is multiverse very unstable or more or less like debian unstable?
[08:11] <wsmith> othernoob, so you are saying lame -h -b 192 01.wav 02.wav 03.wav 04.wav 01.mp3 02.mp3 03.mp3 04.mp3 (assuming all those exist) and confuses the hell out of lame
[08:12] <Xenguy> filip_: dpkg -i _____
[08:12] <wsmith> Bjorn2, happypenguin.org
[08:12] <wsmith> othernoob, with lame, specifying *.mp3 is unnecessary
[08:12] <Arnia> barongas: Multiverse contains all the 'non-free' packages
[08:12] <b3nd3r> hey if any ones got linux windows unix mac os questions feel free to post them on www.usrlabs.com :)
[08:12] <stretched_lobes> I tried just plugging my usb cable in but it did not work
[08:13] <barongas> Arnia:Cool
[08:13] <othernoob> wsmith, it should do one after the other, as it would do, if the files weren't numbered
[08:13] <wsmith> stretched_lobes, type dmesg what are the last files
[08:13] <wsmith> othernoob, are the files named 01.wav, 02.wav, etc?
[08:13] <robertj> heya all, anyone know of a gtk chess with multiplayer, computer oponents with different levels, and valid move highlighting?
[08:13] <usrlabs> www.usrlabs.com is a soon to be how to site if any one has newb or eleet questions needing be answered
[08:13] <wsmith> stretched_lobes, *lines*
[08:14] <wsmith> usrlabs, please. ... no more redirects...
[08:14] <othernoob> wsmith: not quite.. they are 01-title/of/the/song.wav ....and so on
[08:14] <Xenguy> usrlabs: you are about to be permanently /ignored
[08:14] <usrlabs> wsmith ... what are yout alking
[08:14] <stretched_lobes> usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 4
[08:14] <wsmith> usrlabs, there's like 6 redirects (just me whining)
[08:14] <bender_> wtf
[08:14] <bender_> no there isnt.
[08:14] <stretched_lobes> do you want all lines
[08:14] <bender_> its my damn site
[08:14] <snippy> oh my.. putting a link didnt worked
[08:14] <spola> you're fit but you know it
[08:14] <snippy> the script wont find the kernel sources
[08:14] <bender_> it takes you to my forums
[08:15] <wsmith> othernoob, * does not recurse. in other words, *.wav matches files named <something>.wav in the *current* directory
[08:15] <Xenguy> bye
[08:15] <othernoob> wsmith: fascinating
[08:15] <topyli> othernoob: i just use the audio convert script for nautilus :)
[08:15] <bender_> wsmith did you get the X issue working?
[08:15] <wsmith> bender_, usrlabs.com => www.usrlabs.com => (missed one) => www.usrlabs.com/community/forum.php
[08:15] <topyli> othernoob: https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/audio-convert/
[08:15] <bender_> wsmith yes.. thats my sight...
[08:15] <othernoob> wsmith: disregard the noob in my name. i'm quite aware of * not recursing
[08:15] <stretched_lobes> before the last line there was
[08:15] <othernoob> wsmith: i'm even quite aware of having to be in the correct directory
[08:16] <stretched_lobes> 7 DPT=68 LEN=314
[08:16] <stretched_lobes> ohci_hcd 0000:00:02.1: wakeup
[08:16] <othernoob> wsmith: my quiestion is why * NEVER works when there are numbers in the files
[08:16] <ninjafish> stretched, it is possible that your mp3 player is not Mass Storage Device compatible. if this is the case then it will not mount on linux
[08:16] <wsmith> bender_, yup (finally). however any damn games lock in 4:3 ratio, making my dual headed goodness moot
[08:16] <GoClick> I have a broken package and I don't know what to do
[08:16] <stretched_lobes> should i try one of the rio packages
[08:16] <GoClick> Synaptic won't fix it either
[08:16] <bender_> wsmith fuck that sucks
[08:16] <othernoob> topyli: thanks, but i don't use gnome, thus no nautilus ;)
[08:16] <stretched_lobes> or mabye natilus
[08:16] <MovieTrailerMan> Help! I am having problems with America's Army!
[08:16] <LinuxJones> GoClick, what are you trying to install ?
[08:16] <topyli> othernoob: ah :)
[08:17] <ninjafish> stretched wait a sec, what is the model of mp3 player you have again?
[08:17] <filip_> how can i add program in the menu ?
[08:17] <wsmith> othernoob, it does (http://warrenandrachel.com/othernoob.png)
[08:17] <stretched_lobes> irock 530
[08:17] <ninjafish> MOvieTrailerMan, so are a few countries
[08:17] <spola> ROFL
[08:18] <GoClick> I went to do my upgrades after installing Horay and it told me I had a broken package so I went and it's gnome extention for firefox but I can't remove it because it wants to remove ubuntu-desktop and it won't repair it
[08:18] <barongas> filip_: Try dragging and dropping icons
[08:18] <MovieTrailerMan> I can't seem to get Amercia Army to work
[08:18] <MovieTrailerMan> er, American Army
[08:18] <GoClick> hoary rather

[08:18] <spola> i hate that game, it's like a commercial
[08:18] <other|pissed> wsmith: hui, it does work with ls. yay.. but it DOES NOT with lame and unrar for example
[08:18] <Mau> dunno what i did
[08:18] <rmflagg> I may never get my GDM settings question answered...
[08:18] <hardw1re> (Kernel):[Linux 2.6.12-7-amd64-xeon x86_64]
[08:19] <GoClick> How will I reinstall it without a desktop?
[08:19] <Mau> how do i change my gdm ui languaga?

[08:19] <snippy> someone uses Paragon's NTFS for linux ?
[08:19] <bender_> ugh i cant wait for my new laptoP!!!!
[08:19] <wsmith> other|pissed, I assure you it does. * is expanded by the shell, not the application
[08:19] <LinuxJones> GoClick, that's just a metapackage it will not uninstall your desktop
[08:19] <filip_> barongas: ok i will try that soon
[08:19] <Bjorn2> when i type dvd:///dev/hda it doesn't work
[08:19] <bender_> Bjorn2 ... set the prefs tard
[08:19] <Mau> HA!
[08:19] <Mau> HAHA!
[08:19] <Bjorn2> bender_, i just started :o?
[08:20] <wsmith> other|pissed, remember, *.wav *.mp3 doesn't expand to file.wav file.mp3
[08:20] <Mau> ?-)
[08:20] <Bjorn2> take it easy :<
[08:20] <snippy> I just bought Paragon NTFS for linux.. cant install it oO
[08:20] <stretched_lobes> movietrailer man  I followed install in wilki and it ran perfectly
[08:20] <bender_> Bjorn2 .... duh  try /media/dvd or /media/scsi0
[08:20] <bender_> find where your drive is located first
[08:20] <wsmith> other|pissed, if file.mp3 doesn't exist
[08:20] <GoClick> LinuxJones I removed it now what do I do to get it back?
[08:20] <other|pissed> wsmith: are you saying that lame -h *.wav works?
[08:20] <wsmith> other|pissed, yes
[08:20] <barongas> I take it setting up my  ati graphic card is as much a hassle as it is for debian?
[08:21] <LinuxJones> GoClick, you don't need to get it back
[08:21] <GoClick> Well what if
[08:21] <LinuxJones> GoClick, your system will be exactly the same as it is now
[08:21] <GoClick> Well what if I need to access gnomy stuff with firefox
[08:21] <HappyFool> Bjorn2: maybe just 'dvd://' ?
[08:21] <GoClick> That said, how do I install thunderbird?
[08:21] <stretched_lobes> here you go movietrailerman
[08:21] <other|pissed> wsmith: hui.. i do wonder why i am getting the "here's how you should use lame-syntax introduction + why don't you idiot try lame -? and so on" then?
[08:21] <stretched_lobes> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AmericasArmy
[08:21] <Bjorn2> HappyFool, ill try it
[08:22] <MovieTrailerMan> stretched_lobes, eh?
[08:22] <MovieTrailerMan> ah
[08:22] <wsmith> other|pissed, -h means help
[08:22] <surfdue> how do i findout what is using my sound stuff
[08:22] <MovieTrailerMan> thanks
[08:22] <snippy> how can I remove a link?
[08:22] <stretched_lobes> yes 1 9/16th in
[08:22] <other|pissed> wsmith: you have never used lame have you?
[08:22] <wsmith> other|pissed, may you want lame --preset=high
[08:22] <LinuxJones> GoClick, apt-get install mozilla-thunderbird
[08:22] <other|pissed> wsmith: -h does not mean help
[08:22] <HappyFool> snippy: just 'rm' it
[08:22] <wsmith> other|pissed, sorry. was thinking something else. I'm a retard
[08:22] <Bjorn2> !backports
[08:22] <ubotu> backports are applications with newer versions on a stable distributions. Ubuntu backports can be found in the hoary-backports section
[08:22] <MovieTrailerMan> Will it show me how to use American Army?
[08:22] <Bjorn2> it isn't working btw HappyFool
[08:22] <Bjorn2> maybe its the dvd
[08:22] <hardw1re> just finished my upgrade to breezy
[08:22] <stretched_lobes> you mean a walkthrough
[08:22] <Bjorn2> or region code
[08:23] <hardw1re> (IDE Interfaces):[nVidia Corporation CK8S Parallel ATA Controller (v2.5) (rev 162)]
[08:23] <GoClick> LinuxJones is there a GUI for that? I can do that from the CLI but I doubt my boss will
[08:23] <HappyFool> Bjorn2: what error message do you get ? (don't paste here)
[08:23] <wsmith> other|pissed, ahh. lame only takes *one* file to encode at a time
[08:23] <bender_> sigh
[08:23] <Bjorn2> HappyFool, nothing
[08:23] <Bjorn2> it spins
[08:23] <Bjorn2> en then closes itself
[08:23] <dalamar> synaptic will do it, just click search and type 'thunderbird'
[08:23] <MovieTrailerMan> I want to control American Army
[08:23] <GoClick> Oh I found it I think
[08:23] <wsmith> other|pissed, find ./ -iname '*.wav' -exec lame -h \{\} \;
[08:23] <HappyFool> Bjorn2: unfortunately i don't have vlc.. let me see how big a download it is
[08:24] <LinuxJones> GoClick, you can use synaptic to install it as well just search for mozilla-thunderbird then right click and hit install, then click the apply button
[08:24] <wsmith> other|pissed,  or for each in *.wav ; do lame -h $each ; done
[08:24] <stretched_lobes> http://www.americasarmy.com/support/gamemanual.php

[08:24] <Bjorn2> HappyFool,
[08:24] <bender_> i cant wait to play AA again
[08:24] <HappyFool> Bjorn2: i'd rather install from synaptic, thanks ;)
[08:24] <bender_> its been like 1.5 years since i have played it
[08:25] <GoClick> LinuxJones ok, I also need to get samba on this machine with a nice gui too, what gui should I use?
[08:25] <other|pissed> wsmith: it won't work because there are numbers in the filename.wav and thus i'll get the syntax-introduction again
[08:25] <GrYpHoN> Anyone here havingissues getting the broadcom 4306 working through ndiswrapper in Ubuntu?
[08:25] <bender_> GrYpHoN is that a laptop chipset/
[08:25] <GrYpHoN> Yes it is.  Laptop is HP Pavilion zv5000
[08:25] <rmflagg> I have a question, folks.
[08:25] <LinuxJones> GoClick, oh boy I have never used samba since I have no computers running anything but Linux
[08:25] <bender_> heh
[08:25] <bender_> :)
[08:25] <stretched_lobes> ninja
[08:25] <bender_> i just ordered the zv6000
[08:26] <wsmith> !pastebbot
[08:26] <ubotu> wsmith: What?
[08:26] <ninjafish> stretched_lobes, sorry, I cannot find enough info on the irock to say how you could use it with linux, the software seems to be win or mac only
[08:26] <wsmith> !pastebot
[08:26] <ubotu> wsmith: What?
[08:26] <bender_> GrYpHoN give me one sec and ill get you the info :)
[08:26] <wsmith> !paste
[08:26] <ubotu> I guess paste is please use http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/ or #flood to paste large amounts of text
[08:26] <GrYpHoN> Its a great laptop
[08:26] <GrYpHoN> pain to get the wireless working though
[08:26] <ninjafish> stretched_lobes, sorry, I cannot find enough info on the irock to say how you could use it with linux, the software seems to be win or mac only
[08:26] <dalamar> many people have issues with broadcom and ndiswrapper
[08:26] <lvraab> broadcom sucks

[08:32] <ninjafish> stretched lobes, reason I ask is that I sometimes take my linux laptop to the PC store when buying some accesories to see if they work on linux
[08:32] <bender_> qtpi means the source file or sourceslist file has a bad line in it at line 28 or whatever
[08:32] <CyberMad> please help me
[08:32] <ghostdog> if not, then nothing happens unless I restart hotplug
[08:32] <stretched_lobes> no cd drive only uses backpack cd cannot find one to support it
[08:32] <qtpi> line 28 says deb http://jrfonseca.dyndns.org/debian/ .
[08:33] <makhan> if someone could help me, that'd be great, my sound doesn't work.
[08:33] <stretched_lobes> yes that sounds good
[08:33] <dalamar> theres good info on the web about linux compatible mp3 players as well
[08:33] <wsmith> other|pissed, it's not the numerals, it's the spaces
[08:33] <stizoner> something has gone totally wrong, media:/ shows empty now, none of my partitions are showing, just blank
[08:33] <wsmith> other|pissed, for each in *.wav ; do lame -h "$each" ; done
[08:34] <Rebs> the 5.04 starer guide is up to date right?
[08:34] <makhan> no, when I go to a webpage that has videos, I cannot hear anything.
[08:34] <ninjafish> grython, if you have issues still I am happy to help as I have been though the same problems
[08:34] <makhan> help?
[08:34] <makhan> anyone?
[08:34] <wsmith> makhan, ps ax | grep esd
[08:34] <snippy> how can I remove a directory?
[08:34] <snippy> or rename?
[08:34] <wsmith> makhan, get anything?
[08:34] <makhan> wsmith, do I do that in terminal?
[08:34] <wsmith> snippy, mv <dir>
[08:34] <qtpi> How would I fix a sources.list file; I overwrote a few lines that were in there and this seems to be causing a problem when i try installing a codec
[08:34] <wsmith> snippy, rm -r <dir>
[08:35] <wsmith> makhan, yes
[08:35] <webby> hi
[08:35] <wsmith> qtpi, did you get the sources.list from ubuntuguide.org
[08:35] <Ng> qtpi: remvoe the broken ones and re-add them
[08:35] <qtpi> wsmith: i got it from an ubuntu forum
[08:35] <jbull> anyone running breezy have issues with fonts in firefox?
[08:36] <mdz> leonel: you need to modify the apt configuration to point to breezy, and then dist-upgrade.  I believe there's a howto in the wiki somewhere
[08:36] <wsmith> qtpi, If you are installing basic stuff from the universe, multiverse and backports, just grab a new copy from ubuntuguide.org
[08:36] <stizoner> media:/ shows empty now, none of my partitions are showing, just blank, i cant get my files ! /me runs around scared
[08:36] <leonel> I was asking if there's any special thing to keep in mind
[08:36] <leonel> mdz, thanks
[08:36] <wsmith> makhan, any luck?
[08:37] <stretched_lobes> thanks a lot for the help
[08:37] <makhan> wsmith, what i got from that was : 6736 ?     S    0:00 /usr/bin/esd -nobeebs
[08:37] <makhan> that's the first line, anyways.
[08:37] <qtpi> wsmith: where exactly on that site is the file
[08:37] <qtpi> ahh i found it
[08:37] <HappyFool> nobeeps, presumaby -- unless it's anti-bbc ;)
[08:37] <Jhair> shouldn't the realplayer installer be in multiverse at least?
[08:37] <makhan> then another: 7113 pts/0       S+       0:00 grep esd
[08:37] <makhan> that's it.
[08:37] <wsmith> makhan, good. now, your media player is most likely using oss to try to get to the sound card (which esd has stolen)
[08:38] <letschatt> hi everyone
[08:38] <wsmith> makhan, which plugin are you using to view movies mplayer?
[08:38] <Ng> Jhair: I think there is one, but it's for an old version of realplayer
[08:38] <letschatt> my ubuntu firefox loads really fast but the response of the application on opening new tabs, scrolling and page loading (back, forward) is SH*T. will anyone mind helping?
[08:38] <makhan> oh, it's not that, I still need to DL a plugin. I'm talking about regular files on the net, such as Homestarrunner.
[08:39] <wsmith> makhan, ah
[08:39] <letschatt> i need someone 's help in cutting the pork on my file system. my windows installation is about 1.8 gigs. The linux is 1.4 that's huge
[08:39] <wsmith> anyone know if ubuntu turns on alsa dmix by default?
[08:39] <ninjafish> letschatt, thats tiny
[08:39] <Ng> letschatt: run synaptic, ask it to show you packages with installed status, then remove the ones you don't want, if any
[08:40] <Jhair> Ng, yes I added multiverse to my apt sources (tried with different mirrors) and seems realplayer isn't there anymore...
[08:40] <letschatt> Ng.. did a lot of that. i think 1.4 gigs on linux is massive. In 2003 i was running woody with kde 2.2 on only 750 megs
[08:40] <stizoner> media:/      shows empty now, none of my partitions are showing, no floppy, no cd, nothing just blank, i cant get my files
[08:40] <letschatt> now i have gnome on 5.04 hoary. KDE blows goats now it's nothing but bloatware
[08:41] <Ng> Jhair: I see a package called realplayer in multiverse here
[08:41] <Jhair> ubuntu has a page to search for package though and AFAIK realplay is still listed there
[08:41] <letschatt> i wouldn't mind getting some help with my firefox app response times
[08:41] <darkheart> letschatt Some might say gnome is bloated too =)
[08:41] <tristanmike> good-day all
[08:41] <letschatt> haha well in university while i was doing my CS degree i used ion.. best ever!
[08:41] <martin-> Need some help: got an ATI all in wonder with TV functionality. i downloaded tvtime but now i need to choose the device somehow. Anyone knows what to do?
[08:41] <Ng> letschatt: meh, it's only 1.4gb and you can cut it down to way less than that if you can be arsed, but what do you gain? ;)
[08:41] <Ex-Cyber> I'm having trouble building a mips-elf targeted binutils 2.9.1... configure goes okay but when I run make I get this: http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/1452 ... what's going on here?
[08:42] <letschatt> Ng i think we can lay down the linux (faster) myth to waste now. why does linux boot slower, and loads apps slower with slower response times
[08:42] <stizoner> hiyah
[08:42] <makhan> wsmith, any other advice you could give me?
[08:42] <ninjafish> is the guy who was having broadcom troubles still here??
[08:42] <Jhair> Ng, are you using hoary? could you please show me the server you are using on your sources.list?
[08:42] <wsmith> makhan, one sec...
[08:42] <letschatt> i type ctrl ++ and firefox took 3 seconds to work its way
[08:42] <HappyFool> stizoner: i don't have a 'media:/' -- i do have a 'computer:///' though (i presume this is in nautilus)
[08:42] <Ng> letschatt: I don't care for myths, I use Linux because it's better
[08:42] <makhan> ok.
[08:42] <HappyFool> !repos
[08:42] <ubotu> somebody said repos was at http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/AddingRepositoriesHowto A list of official repositories can be found at http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/969
[08:42] <letschatt> ninjafish i was the guy with broadcom trouble
[08:42] <letschatt> but i fixed em now
[08:42] <HappyFool> Jhair: the second like ubotu posted has an examples sources.list
[08:43] <Ng> Jhair: yup, hoary. my sources.list is www.pointlessrubbish.net/sources.list
[08:43] <Rebs> how come flashplayer isn't found, tryna follow the starter guide , unless its out of date?
[08:43] <ninjafish> did you chabge your nick?
[08:43] <letschatt> linux is better because of its immense flexibility and its free but it lays waste to older machines like mine
[08:43] <darkheart> Rebs You might need some repositories added.
[08:43] <dalamar> you probably dont have the repo that flash is in
[08:43] <Rebs> im using the sample sources list from the guide
[08:43] <GoClick> Is there a way to move all of my Thunderbird 1.0.6 settings from my windows machine to my Linux machine?
[08:43] <HappyFool> Rebs: you can read the restricted-formats page on the wiki for installing flash (see ubotu below)
[08:43] <letschatt> windows 2000 runs faster on my computer and I KNOW FOR SURE i can get this sucker to run faster than windows i am just no an expert yet
[08:43] <HappyFool> !restricted
[08:43] <ubotu> restricted is, like, totally, http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RestrictedFormats
[08:44] <letschatt> Goclick there is
[08:44] <Ng> letschatt: you can't compare a gnome release from 4 months ago with windows *2000*
[08:44] <Ng> letschatt: use xfce
[08:44] <stizoner> click system icon, select storage media, and its empty, i cant get 2 any my partitions and get my files, nothing is listed in the window HappyFool
[08:44] <leonel> dist-upgrade in progress...
[08:44] <Ng> anyway, I'm outta here
[08:44] <Jhair> Ng, thanks
[08:44] <letschatt> look in your profile folder.. move all of your profile files to a drive letter and change the path names
[08:44] <sly> wanting some help setting up net sharing on good ol ubuntu
[08:44] <HappyFool> stizoner: 'system icon' ? where's that?
[08:45] <ninjafish> linux is better because there are less dependancies (view the processes running on XP to prove this).
[08:45] <letschatt> Ng: it's not just gnome buddy linux boots a lot slower too that hogplug BS takes 8-10 seconds to work
[08:45] <GoClick> letschatt is it aq pain in the bum?
[08:45] <thesamet> does anyone else have strange window blinks in breezy?
[08:45] <letschatt> aq?
[08:45] <sly> any takers :) ? ...... im connected to net via 1 port router.................. got another pc connected to me via eth1 . firestarter installed
[08:45] <sly> as far as ive got :)
[08:45] <letschatt> i've used bum to turn off weird and silly daemons
[08:45] <darkheart> sly Why not connect both computers to the router?
[08:45] <CyberMad> do you know where to find free proxy (8080) ?
[08:46] <wsmith> makhan, Ok. the crux of the matter is that flash needs exclusive access to your sound card. esd already has exclusive access. neither like sharing
[08:46] <makhan> ok, so how do I have both?
[08:46] <sly> * sly any takers :) ? ...... im connected to net via 1 port router * no hub and the router is downstairs with not enough cable when both pc's are in the loft
[08:46] <makhan> is it possible?
[08:46] <martin-> i have 2 /dev/video? devices, how can i see whichone is what?
[08:46] <surfdue> um
[08:46] <surfdue> linphone is outdated
[08:46] <surfdue> on your apt-get
[08:46] <surfdue> what should i do?
[08:47] <letschatt> so who here is running on a machine similar to mine (ATHLON 600 K7, 256MB, 60 + 17 GB, 802.11G, MATROX G450 32MB)
[08:47] <JoRock> can anyone recommend a good full site for my apt list
[08:47] <JoRock> ?
[08:47] <bender_> sly what is the problem?
[08:47] <GoClick> letschatt how do I move my settings, especially account settings
[08:47] <Radamanthys> I need to mount my optical drives (cd and cd-rw)
[08:47] <letschatt> JOROCK use synaptic to add sources
[08:47] <wsmith> makhan, either you can turn off esd (you'll lose ubuntu gnome sounds) and restart mozilla, or I can go into an extremely involved process of getting alsa dmix working
[08:47] <HappyFool> !repos
[08:47] <ubotu> rumour has it, repos is at http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/AddingRepositoriesHowto A list of official repositories can be found at http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/969
[08:47] <surfdue> linphone is outdated
[08:47] <bender_> JoRock an awsome site is google.com
[08:47] <surfdue> what do i do
[08:47] <ninjafish> letschatt, you have a zv5000 yes? have you got the scrollbar on the touchpad working?
[08:47] <JoRock> lol thanks bender_
[08:47] <HappyFool> JoRock: the recond link ubotu posts has a complete /etc/apt/sources.list; or you can read the first one for more information
[08:48] <makhan> right, thanks.
[08:48] <stizoner> ok whatever weird powers that fixed that... thanks, i was just sitting here all sudden here my floppy drive access and my cdrom spin and BAM my paritions show up :D
[08:48] <makhan> what's a easy way of turning off esd?
[08:48] <letschatt> no, no zv5000
[08:48] <bender_> UGH!!!!
[08:48] <letschatt> i am on a desktop
[08:48] <Radamanthys> Help me
[08:48] <bender_> i cant wait to get my HP ZV6000!!!
[08:48] <Ex-Cyber> makhan: at prompt: killall esd
[08:48] <letschatt> put in a disk radamanthys
[08:48] <makhan> and, after that, will DVD movies be able to play sound, now that esd is dead?
[08:48] <letschatt> then try /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd
[08:48] <dalamar> thats what they consider stable in the repo, if you want the newest linphone out you'll have to look for a .deb on the web and install it yourself
[08:48] <surfdue> !!!bug!!!report!!! lin phone version is outdated.
[08:48] <ubotu> that's too long, surfdue
[08:48] <surfdue> by 2 years
[08:49] <ninjafish> letschatt, ok.  I am getting confused now. there was someone with a zv5000 earlier nm
[08:49] <John> Hello, I have a problem with wirelles card in my laptop. The drivers is installed but I don't recieve or send anything
[08:49] <bender_> why dont you just "dmesg | more" and seach where it initialized and placed the damn drive
[08:49] <Ex-Cyber> makhan: generally as long as some ill-behaved app such as flash player is hogging your soundcard nothing else will play sound
[08:49] <letschatt> but you could help me with something else :)
[08:49] <Radamanthys> letschatt,  I can't configure this devices
[08:49] <letschatt> i need a good website to optimize ubuntu so it runs on par with windows atleast
[08:49] <makhan> ok.
[08:49] <ohay> does someone know how to configure services on ubuntu?
[08:49] <makhan> hm.
[08:49] <bender_> ohhhh hey!!!
[08:49] <Grat> ohay what services?
[08:49] <bender_> woohoo im get to eat today!!!
[08:50] <Revelation> ;P
[08:50] <bender_> *i
[08:50] <ohay> I mean graphically (like for dummies)
[08:50] <bender_> this prison sucks
[08:50] <wsmith> makhan, I believe the problem stems from a holdover from debian. Dunno why everything hasn't been switched to use alsa or the aoss wrapper by default.
[08:50] <HappyFool> !bum
[08:50] <ubotu> bum is, like, a graphical BootUp Manager; see http://www.marzocca.net/linux/bum.html
[08:50] <stizoner> im a dummie so i dont know
[08:50] <Revelation> +bender_ agreed
[08:50] <ninjafish> letschatt, sorry I do not know of such a website
[08:50] <Revelation> :p
[08:50] <bender_> we only get basic 256k down... and a crap rental laptop.
[08:50] <HappyFool> ohay: bum might be what you want (see ubotu's post above)
[08:50] <Revelation> +why all talking like this ? ;>
[08:50] <juanej> is there anyway to reconfigure ubuntu?
[08:50] <GoClick> letschatt how can I move my Thunderbird 1.0.6 settings and accounts from my Windows machine to my Ubuntu machine?
[08:51] <Grat> ohay: what services?
[08:51] <bender_> Revelation you in prison also?
[08:51] <Webby`> Hi, I'm having trouble starting up crossover. It just hangs and never starts up
[08:51] <juanej> Im getting a lot of errors with synaptic
[08:51] <ninjafish> juanej, /etc
[08:51] <Webby`> I'm using Breezy
[08:51] <Revelation> -bender_: naah was released for some days ago ;)
[08:51] <Webby`> Could that be the problem?
[08:51] <letschatt> :( ubuntu is slower than win 2000 what a shame i still can't make the switch
[08:51] <ohay> I mean, somewhere I can click on a checkbox for every service.  Please report.
[08:53] <wsmith> ohay, but I've never used the gui thingy
[08:53] <juanej> i want to start over
[08:53] <bender_> what did you get caught doing hacking wise Revelation
[08:53] <wsmith> Webby`, dunno if anyone here has that combination (breezy + crossover)
[08:53] <HappyFool> juanej: hmm. that doesn't sound good
[08:53] <ohay> wsmith: the thing is that I'm kinda lazy, :P
[08:53] <juanej> HappyFool: how do i start over?
[08:54] <Webby`> So I should use Hoary?
[08:54] <juanej> without reinstalling
[08:54] <Cletus> hey, i just installed ubuntu and it's telling me that i need to insert the install cd when i try to install some packages via aptitude
[08:54] <wsmith> ohay, on startup, sudo update-rc.d ssh defaults
[08:54] <wsmith> s/on/for/
[08:54] <Cletus> the cd isn't in my apt sources, why is it asking this?
[08:54] <ohay> so, is there a graphical runlevel editor or something?
[08:54] <bender_> Revelation your in germany.. they dont do that
[08:54] <wsmith> Cletus, you probably need to apt-get update
[08:54] <Cletus> i've done that wsmith
[08:54] <dalamar> yeah the using the install cd bit i dont like at all, it only asks for it on some programs
[08:54] <wsmith> ohay, I think ubuntuguide.org has something about that...
[08:55] <juanej> so?
[08:55] <Cletus> i've been using debian for a few years now and i've never had anything like this happen
[08:55] <ninjafish> Cletus, look at the repositories list in sypnatic
[08:55] <ninjafish> is it there
[08:55] <HappyFool> juanej: maybe you can try 'sudo apt-get clean' at the command line
[08:55] <samu> yeah, that happened to me a few times as well
[08:55] <HappyFool> juanej: i'm afraid i'm not familiar with that error
[08:55] <ohay> oh I forgot to say I'm using the default gnome and everything installation, not really tweaked or anything
[08:55] <Node> Hey - I just tried the Ubuntu "breezy" live CD and it hung when starting the hotplug subsystem.  Anybody else here using a Shuttle ST20G5 experience this ?
[08:55] <Cletus> it's in the repositories in synaptic, thanks ninjafish
[08:55] <HappyFool> ohay: did you see the link to bum ubotu posted? It sounds like that is what you want
[08:55] <HappyFool> !bum
[08:55] <ubotu> [bum]  a graphical BootUp Manager; see http://www.marzocca.net/linux/bum.html
[08:56] <Cletus> i don't use synaptic so i would have never checked there
[08:56] <juanej> what about reconfiguring ubuntu to the default config
[08:56] <oonoon> Hi everybody ; Ive just switched on my computer and when i want to see a preview of a screensaver, it is extremely slow ; how can i find the thing that makes my computer so busy even though nothing has yet been done
[08:56] <ohay> ubotu: is this already installed with ubuntu?
[08:56] <ubotu> ohay: Did you get hit by a windmill?
[08:56] <dalamar> its probably a GL screensaver and you dont have drivers installed for it
[08:56] <HappyFool> ohay: ubotu is a bot; and the answer is no. Go to the URL
[08:56] <juanej> damn, im gonna delete my account and create a new one
[08:56] <wsmith> oonoon, first, do Applications->System Tools->System Monitor
[08:57] <bender_> Revelation ....? still there :)
[08:57] <wsmith> ohay, http://ubuntuguide.org/#permanentlydisableenableboot-upservices
[08:57] <oonoon> wsmith, yeah , did ti
[08:57] <wsmith> mm. got beat to that one
[08:57] <ohay> wsmith: ok I'll take a look. I forgot that I had downloaded the entire guide, hehe
[08:57] <wsmith> oonoon, anything hogging cpu?
[08:57] <ninjafish> juanej that will not work
[08:57] <juanej> so what can i do?
[08:58] <juanej> i really dont want to reinstall
[08:58] <HappyFool> juanej: did you try 'apt-get clean' ? you could also move the contents /var/cache/apt
[08:58] <juanej> doesnt work
[08:58] <ninjafish> I am sorry I am not being helpfull but if there is a problem with any application it will cause problems for all users
[08:58] <ninjafish> usually
[08:58] <bender_> Revelation :) give me an msg back sometime :)
[08:59] <oonoon> wmith, that's weird, i've got some activity (max 30% CPU) ; when i start this screensaver preview it jumps to 100% and goes slow
[08:59] <juanej> i think im gonna have to reinstall :S
[08:59] <Benix> hi
[08:59] <oonoon> wsmith, that's weird, i've got some activity (max 30% CPU) ; when i start this screensaver preview it jumps to 100% and goes slow
[08:59] <wsmith> oonoon, you don't have gl acceleration enabled.
[08:59] <bender_> oonoon thats cuz you dont have gl accell on
[08:59] <dalamar> is it a gl screensaver? and do you have 3d drivers installed?
[08:59] <bender_> jeez
[08:59] <bender_> newbs
[08:59] <wsmith> oonoon, pop open a terminal and type glxinfo
[08:59] <GoClick> DNS on my ubuntu system seem messed up it takes maybe 20 seconds to resolve any host
[08:59] <GoClick> Some apps like xChat don't seem to be able to do it at all
[08:59] <wsmith> bender_, you *are* in the noob channel
[09:00] <GoClick> And then randomly they will
[09:00] <ninjafish> juanej try a simple apt-get -update
[09:00] <bender_> wsmith i know i was just joking :)
[09:00] <oonoon> wsmith : yeah, done, but there's much stuff 'direct rendering : no' , thats what you expected ?
[09:00] <stizoner> yeah GoClick i noticed that and set it manually since i have a router that i allways connect same ip
[09:00] <wsmith> bender_, me too :)
[09:00] <bender_> this is the only server i can get on for some reason
[09:00] <wsmith> oonoon, yes
[09:00] <ninjafish> then try to remove all repositories and add them again
[09:00] <oonoon> wsmith : so, that's ok ?
[09:00] <ninjafish> and apt-get -update again
[09:00] <wsmith> oonoon, no, you don't have accelerated X. how familiar are you at mucking around in xorg.conf?
[09:01] <ninjafish> (sorry apt-get -update after removing all reps)
[09:01] <llpamies> Somebody that are using breezy can tell me if totem-xine depends of libcairo1 ?
[09:01] <juanej> damn, im gonna reinstall, thx anyway
[09:02] <thechitowncubss> is firefox going to start faster on breezy?
[09:02] <dubnium> question, besides real player? which apps can play .ra/.ram?
[09:02] <wsmith> thechitowncubss, stupid cubs. anyways are you referring to a prelink or the whole ipv6 thing?
[09:02] <oonoon> wsmith : i've got some experience, spend some weeks to try to install my nvidia card (which, at the end, doesn't work yet :-))
[09:02] <wsmith> dubnium, helix player
[09:02] <thechitowncubss> wsmith, actually i'm referring to firefox's slow startup compared to windows
[09:03] <HappyFool> oonoon: the instructions on the wiki don't work for you?
[09:03] <wsmith> oonoon, you probably need the nvidia binary driver. check ubuntuguide.org
[09:03] <HappyFool> !nvidia
[09:03] <ubotu> methinks nvidia is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia, or quick optimizations https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OptimizingNvidia?highlight=%28nvidia%29
[09:03] <thechitowncubss> !nvidia
[09:03] <thechitowncubss> hey
[09:03] <kyncani> llpamies: you can see totem-xine dependencies here http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[09:03] <dubnium> wsmith, i thought helix could not stream?
[09:03] <wsmith> !cubs
[09:03] <ubotu> No idea, wsmith
[09:03] <wsmith> dubnium, I dunno.   Why libcairo is not avaiable ?? I has my system broken !
[09:05] <thechitowncubss> NW suburbs
[09:05] <GoClick2> test
[09:05] <wsmith> oonoon, my suggestion, live with it unless you have all weekend free to muck with it.
[09:05] <oonoon> HappyFool : tried, but i dont understand much in this area ; got to go, be back in2 hours
[09:05] <oonoon> wsmith : i came to the same conclusion :-)
[09:06] <thechitowncubss> wsmith, are you from chitown?
[09:06] <wsmith> thechitowncubss, sw burbs
[09:06] <thechitowncubss> figures
