[06:37] <waxfactor2nd> I can't get my screen to more than 640x480 after installing the nVidia driver. Anyone got some suggestion? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5588/
[06:37] <Flannel> pjz: yes.  juts don't resize it too small
[06:37] <iratik> no sound ? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=358253
[06:37] <VincentMX> hi
[06:37] <pjz> Flannel: cool, thanks
[06:37] <Jimmey> pjz, there's two ways. There's software called Gparted that can resize partitions, but I'm not sure if it can do NTFS. The install partitioner definitely can.
[06:37] <Goldenphoenix> pjz: and defragment before
[06:37] <Jimmey> jtinney, that's definitely worth a try :-P
[06:37] <yell0w> thanks Flannel , all this time i  used ctrl-z and manually kill the process =))
[06:37] <jtinney> Jimmey: Great, I'll be back in a few.
[06:37] <iratik> I found a .pem file on my system - only its badly named and I have no clue which certificate it is -- is there a way to query the certificate to get its general info ?
[06:37] <Flannel> pjz: it's best to defrag first.  and actually, safest if you repartition in windows itself
[06:37] <pjz> Goldenphoenix: nothing's guaranteed in this world.  All safety and surety are illusion.  Ah, and that sounds like good advice =)
[06:37] <VincentMX> i've installed edubuntu to my laptop, but i dont have any sound
[06:37] <iratik> no sound ? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=358253
[06:38] <pjz> Flannel: how do I shrink an NTFS partition in windoze? I'd rather not drop the $$$ on partition magic or whatever
[06:38] <Jimmey> pjz, the install partitioner does it perfectly
[06:38] <atomiku-linux> When I use "AOSS ET" the game's sound output is really crackily
[06:38] <atomiku-linux> what can I do
[06:38] <VincentMX> the Volume Control shows AC 97 as a sound interface, and hda-intel

[06:45] <faemir> animate?
[06:46] <atomiku-linux> faemir: what do you mean
[06:46] <adinsx> like when you drag a window in gnome, its visible the entire time, i would rather the window stay put until i select a place it should be moved to
[06:46] <adinsx> its sort of hard to describe
[06:46] <faisalko> hello all i use ubuntu but i cant connect to the internet i use sierra card mobile and the ubuntu unknow the hardware :((
[06:46] <faemir> atomiku-linux: well that is OSS, try alsa

[06:47] <Wicks> yell0w: what key would that be o_0
[06:47] <faemir> adinsx: sorry, i cant check at the moment (updating & on xfce), if you will stay put on there i will check a bit later

[06:48] <rouven>  hi. im using compiz with aiglx + nvidia 1.0.9631 binary drivers on ubuntu feisty and have a constant load of ~1.6 with xorg eating approx 40 to 50 % of my cpu without any applications running. what's the cause for that?
[06:48] <adinsx> im not even sure where to look, ive checked "optimizing gnome" type guides
[06:48] <_3oo3_> faemir -- im not sure what you mean?
[06:48] <macd> !ati
[06:48] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto

[06:48] <faisalko> hello all i use ubuntu but i cant connect to the internet i use sierra card mobile and the ubuntu unknow the hardware :((
[06:48] <faemir> rouven: is that the xorg drivers or the official drivers
[06:48] <Wicks> yell0w: thanks.. trying it now... bloody macs
[06:49] <rouven> faemir: nvidia binary drivers

[06:49] <faemir> rouven: sorry, dunno then. try turning of some of the sfx :P
[06:49] <faemir> rouven: have you tried with beryl instead of compiz?
[06:49] <Goldenphoenix> Baronvonbarbeque: try it here: http://www.alsa-project.org/
[06:49] <rouven> faemir: is there a special channel for desktop-effects?
[06:50] <_3oo3_> faemir what do you mean by better software resources? can you elaborate?
[06:50] <Baronvonbarbeque> yeah, im running an onboard sound card made by some chinese manufacturer, i doubt it.
[06:50] <rag_> hi all
[06:50] <faemir> _3oo3_: i find that there are better programs for linux in general over *BSD
[06:50] <rag_> please how to translate list of packages ;)
[06:50] <Baronvonbarbeque> and yep, not there
[06:50] <faemir> rouven: nope
[06:51] <rag_> just description field on list, adept, synaptic, all ;)

[06:51] <Pag_XP> I need some help with a serious kernel / boot problem
[06:52] <Baronvonbarbeque> seriously though, im using an ASUS brand soundcard, i need drivers!
[06:52] <rag_> faemir: o good!
[06:52] <Pag_XP> I am stumped
[06:52] <rag_> faemir: and other?
[06:52] <Wicks> is here a way how i can map a key to that function?
[06:52] <rag_> faemir: but how to change the list?
[06:52] <Goldenphoenix> !metaquestions | Pag_XP
[06:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about metaquestions - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:52] <Pag_XP> I have a Pentium D 2.66 Ghz 1GB RAM system running Ubuntu Edgy
[06:52] <_3oo3_> faemir:#ubuntu like what?  can you give example?
[06:53] <Pici> !enter
[06:53] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[06:53] <rag_> faemir: first how to extract list
[06:53] <rag_> faemir: any command?
[06:53] <Pag_XP> When it boots, I get a lot of messages that ends with "Kernel Panic, tried to kill init"
[06:53] <rag_> faemir: with apt-cache is possible, i see
[06:53] <faemir> _3oo3_: amaroK is the best media player - for linux only
[06:54] <Pag_XP> I can repair it by booting from a live disk, chrooting into the filesystem and reinstalling the linux-image package with apt-get.
[06:54] <_3oo3_> faimer:  thats just not true.
[06:54] <faemir> _3oo3_: also, if you use a very popular distro like ubuntu, you get a massive irc channel like this for help ;P
[06:54] <Pag_XP> But every time I reboot the problem comes back. If anyone else had this: How did you fix it?
[06:54] <Baronvonbarbeque> *starts crying* i just want to play my music, i have the codecs, the sound card is driverless i think
[06:54] <rag_> faemir: nooo
[06:54] <faemir> rag_: idk
[06:55] <unop> Pag_XP,  is this edgy? was it upgraded from dapper or installed afresh?
[06:55] <faisalko> hello all i use ubuntu but i cant connect to the internet i use sierra card mobile and the ubuntu unknow the hardware :((
[06:55] <_3oo3_> faimer:  amarok is crossplatform....bsd, linux, and i think some others
[06:55] <Pag_XP> And, how do I interpret the kernel messages to find out what is actually causing the problem? I looked up "tried to kill init" on the forums
[06:55] <Pag_XP> unop, it is Edgy, installed from scratch
[06:55] <faemir> _3oo3_: that's changed :\
[06:55] <Baronvonbarbeque> *sigh* no one can help me
[06:55] <_3oo3_> also firefox, mozilla
[06:55] <faemir> Baronvonbarbeque: what is your problem?
[06:55] <rag_> faemir: ok thx
[06:55] <_3oo3_> im trying to find reasons to consider both os's
[06:55] <unop> Pag_XP,  I'd suggest you purge and reinstall the upstart package
[06:56] <unop> Pag_XP,  via the chroot, etc
[06:56] <Pag_XP> I had it hang on boot with "Tried to kill init" a couple of times, but booting into recovery mode always fixed it
[06:56] <rag_> please any say where locate list apt
[06:56] <rag_> on local?
[06:56] <Pag_XP> Now recovery mode hangs too
[06:56] <Pag_XP> unop, I will try that
[06:56] <rag_> because it is in local
[06:56] <faemir> _3oo3_: companies that do make alt. drivers they are usually for linux
[06:56] <faemir> _3oo3_: if they do at all
[06:56] <jahid> can anyone tell me, how can activate the middle mouse key of IBM laptop?
[06:56] <unop> Pag_XP,  sudo sh -c "aptitude purge upstart; sudo install upstart"
[06:56] <rag_> because without net apt-cache work it
[06:56] <rag_> any say me whereis the list of packages?

[07:12] <Goldenphoenix> bruegge: nabend, aber hier ist englisch
[07:13] <bruegge> oh ok sry, dann bin ich flashc glandet, mla gucken wo der deutsche war. ^^
[07:13] <Goldenphoenix> bruegge: #ubuntu-de
[07:13] <bruegge> jut thx
[07:14] <numist> window set stick off
[07:14] <Crescendo> What command can I run to schedule a full hard drive scan and repair on the next reboot?
[07:15] <HymnToLife> Crescendo, shutdown -rF now
[07:16] <HymnToLife> (that will reboot now though)
[07:16] <Crescendo> Okay, I'll just do it when I can.
[07:16] <neighborlee> my HP scanner ( officejet 5500 ) used to work great running xsane, but in edgy it trys..a minute or so later I get error can't communite with device..did they remove support for this device for some reason in edgy ??
[07:16] <gozert> Is there a howto for enabling the composite and damage extension to get shadows and translucency (not xgl or aiglx)
[07:16] <gozert> ?
[07:16] <Crescendo> That'll find bad sectors and eliminate their use?
[07:16] <Pag_XP> OK, so, it worked in that it will boot one time after I reinstall upstart and the kernel image.
[07:16] <Pag_XP> But the second reboot, it's right back at the same problem
[07:17] <HymnToLife> Crescendo, most of the time, yes
[07:17] <Pag_XP> I am seeing something that looks like a stack trace, talking about "acpi_hw_low_level_read" and "kernel_thread_helper" and a lot of hex, maybe opcodes
[07:17] <HymnToLife> you can do sudo touch /forcefsck if you don't want to reboot immediately
[07:17] <HymnToLife> (that will run fsck at next reboot)
[07:18] <Crescendo> HymnToLife, will that do the same scan and repair?
[07:18] <HymnToLife> yes
[07:18] <Nukeador> how can i see what services run at startup? because services-admin does not save my settings
[07:18] <Enselic``> Nukeador: /etc/init.d-ish
[07:19] <unop> Nukeador,  ls -l /etc/rc2.d/S*
[07:19] <Sianis_> hi all
[07:19] <Sianis_> i installed Azureus from repo
[07:19] <Sianis_> but i haven't taskbar icon
[07:19] <Webspot> Using Netgear WPN111 (atheros chipset). Installed ndiswrapper. Installed the windows driver with ndiswrapper. Installed the ndiswrapper in to the kernel modules. running iwconfig shows no wlan0 or ath0 or any other wireless networks adapters
[07:20] <arphetic> Azureus sux :<
[07:20] <Berg> hi
[07:20] <Goldenphoenix> Webspot: ifconfig
[07:20] <Webspot> ifconfig?
[07:20] <Nukeador> Enselic``, /etc/init.d-ish does not exist
[07:20] <arphetic> ye
[07:21] <arphetic> ifconfig in terminal
[07:21] <gozert> i think i got it, apt-get xcompmgr and transset, put Option "RenderAccel" "true" under Device in xorg.conf, enable the composite extension with a section extensions (copy/paste), restart X, run xcompmgr
[07:21] <Goldenphoenix> Webspot: whats the output of ifconfig
[07:21] <Sianis_> arphetic: what are you using?
[07:21] <unop> Nukeador,  ls -l /etc/rc2.d/S*
[07:21] <Enselic``> Nukeador: unop was right, and I confused
[07:21] <arphetic> bittornado
[07:21] <Webspot> just about to run it. It's acutally my friends machine...
[07:21] <Nukeador> unop, that way i get a full list of the services, but they are not loaded on startup :S
[07:22] <arphetic> Sianis_: unless you install the azureus independent from Ubuntu/gnome, you'll get probably tons of problems, as I did ;)
[07:22] <sable> Anyone know of a good graphical backup program? I can't figure out devish
[07:22] <Sianis_> but the bittornado is so unfriendly :)
[07:22] <unop> Nukeador,  they are a list of scripts that run at startup -- whether they get a service running or not depends on the individual script there -- most do, some done
[07:23] <unop> s/done/dont/
[07:23] <marcko> I don't get this story of torrent files. Each time I try to download one, the transfer rate is really slow ( 20, 30 KB/S)
[07:23] <arphetic> !anyone
[07:23] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[07:23] <lnxmomo> maybe its not a popular file
[07:23] <arphetic> I love that 1 tbh xD
[07:24] <multichil> marcko : Check you port forwarding settings
[07:24] <sacater> hello, if anyone can help me get beryl or/and xgl on my computer i would appreciate it greatly, please join #sacater to help me
[07:24] <Nukeador> unop, but my prob is that no service run at startup and im unable to log in the system, i have to run ubuntu in recovery mode to log in
[07:24] <unop> Nukeador,  i suppose the question to ask is , what are you trying to achieve?
[07:24] <gozert> i got it, thanks anyway
[07:24] <marcko> multichil. How?
[07:24] <arphetic> marcko: when you upload more, you'll download more (I think)
[07:24] <Nukeador> im trying to activate at startup the services
[07:24] <gozert> arphetic: true
[07:25] <unop> Nukeador,  how do you conclude no services run at startup?
[07:25] <Goldenphoenix> hallo bruegge
[07:25] <multichil> marcko : Do you use Nat or is you pc directly connected to the internet?
[07:25] <arphetic> marcko: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent read more about Torrent system
[07:25] <Nukeador> because i cant run ubuntu in normal mode (blank screen instead of login screen) and if i run services-admin all are unchecked
[07:26] <bruegge> hey, ich geh aber wieder in den deutschen, war blo nen fehler meiner seits ^^
[07:26] <Webspot> Goldenphoenix: ifconfig showed eth0 and lo
[07:26] <Pag_XP> This is getting more and more confusing
[07:26] <Pag_XP> And
[07:26] <aalhamad> is there a good proxy site?
[07:26] <Pag_XP> ........I get an ACPI ERROR!
[07:26] <gozert> Nukeador: "update-rc.d <script> defaults" will reset that script to run at default runlevels

[07:27] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about newline - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:27] <jahid> why my firefox cant play audio and video file?
[07:27] <marcko> O well :) I'm newbie. I have a dsl connection. I have a username and passord. I'm using a modem/router. multichil
[07:27] <Goldenphoenix> Webspot: what's the output of "modprobe ndiswrapper"
[07:27] <Pag_XP> Is there anyone I can pm the calltrace to who can interpret it for me?
[07:27] <Nukeador> gozert, so i should do update-rc.d * defaults in /etc/init.d ?
[07:27] <marcko> I guess it's nat, multichil
[07:28] <gozert> Nukeador: not * but almost :D
[07:28] <Nukeador> k
[07:28] <gozert> Nukeador: * would also include rc?.d
[07:28] <arphetic> !enter > Pag_XP
[07:28] <traisen> Is there a list of available packages for Ubuntu?
[07:28] <Goldenphoenix> marcko: Right guess

[07:29] <Pici> traisen: http://packages.ubuntu.com ? I'm not sure thats what you're looking for though

[07:29] <marcko> :) I'm already becoming an expert Goldenphoenix.
[07:29] <gozert> Nukeador: try something like ls -l|grep -v drwx|awk '{ print "update-rc.d " $8 " defaults"; }'|bash -

[07:30] <ikonia> aalhamad: then wy are you asking in a channel thats about supported ubuntu technical supports
[07:30] <gozert> aalhamad: then advanced > network
[07:31] <Webspot> Goldenphoenix: modprobe ndiswrapper showed nothing
[07:31] <loca|host> and change root's password
[07:31] <gozert> aalhamad: click settings
[07:31] <ikonia> loca|host: add them to the sudoers file
[07:31] <aalhamad> gozert, ok?
[07:31] <traisen> pici:thanks
[07:31] <gozert> Nukeador: ohhh that should be fine
[07:31] <loca|host> ikonia, what should i add ?
[07:31] <aalhamad> and what proxy i can use...
[07:31] <ikonia> loca|host: look at the file and you should see the format
[07:31] <ikonia> aalhamad: you need to find someone who is willing to let you
[07:31] <Kresjah> Hello there! I was wondering if someone could help me get Mesa GL working on my machine
[07:32] <Nukeador> gozert, but if i run now services-admin all the services are unchecked...
[07:32] <aalhamad> ikonia there are site that i can;t get into it..
[07:32] <arphetic> Kresjah: try stating the problem instead
[07:32] <ikonia> aalhamad: so ?
[07:32] <joe_joe_joe> faemir I'm having a problem again installing my ubuntu.. I burned t at 8x, and i'm still having the same Kernel Panic error msg
[07:32] <joe_joe_joe> atempted to kill init....
[07:32] <Ace2016> Hi all i need help
[07:32] <aalhamad> so i need to enable a proxy..
[07:32] <gozert> Nukeador: thats strange... everything should be back to defaults
[07:32] <ikonia> aalhamad: so you need to have a proxy
[07:32] <Ace2016> but its a bit off topic
[07:32] <aalhamad> i guess many sites give the out..
[07:32] <Goldenphoenix> Webspot: whats in your /etc/modules with relating ndiswrapper?
[07:32] <aalhamad> on 8080 port
[07:33] <faemir> joe_joe_joe dodgy iso then
[07:33] <Ace2016> Anyone know what the song is in this video?  http://www.funny-videos.co.uk/404.php
[07:33] <pavs> whats the most important linux certification?
[07:33] <Ace2016> i don't know why the error page has a song but i like it
[07:33] <Nukeador> gozert, is a big problem since i can log in into ubutu normal mode because os this issue
[07:33] <ikonia> pavs: personal opinion
[07:33] <gozert> pavs: LPI level 3 imho (which is beta)
[07:33] <joe_joe_joe> faemir what do you mean with dodgy iso...?...
[07:33] <faemir> joe_joe_joe, it's corrupt
[07:33] <pavs> LPI?
[07:34] <faemir> probably have to redownload the iso
[07:34] <Webspot> Goldenphoenix: It's a line at the bottom
[07:34] <faemir> joe_joe_joe, you didn't check the md5 though did you
[07:34] <gozert> Nukeador: i'm sorry, could you please reformulate that?
[07:34] <arphetic> faemir: you should 'v checked the md5 huid
[07:34] <Kresjah> Very well. Basically, I have my laptop here running an ATI Mobility M1 (8MB). Getting GL working on it is hell. On windows (I just recently switched to ubuntu, so I'm still a newbie to all this) was impossible, and even though I have found some for linux, they have a lot of issues
[07:34] <arphetic> s/huid/hash
[07:34] <gozert> pavs: you _should_ know about LPI if you're interested in linux certification
[07:34] <joe_joe_joe> faemir, you mean like chech the disk after the burning, with the same software?
[07:34] <pavs> I am new to linux :)
[07:35] <gozert> ohhhh then don't try getting certified now
[07:35] <Goldenphoenix> webspot: is there an "alias" in this line?
[07:35] <pavs> I will googl it
[07:35] <ikonia> pavs: so forget about certification until your not new
[07:35] <gozert> get more acquainted first
[07:35] <jman_> anybody here have experience with virtualbox?
[07:35] <faemir> joe_joe_joe, try that test, and see what it says
[07:35] <gozert> and try several different distros
[07:35] <arphetic> !openGL
[07:35] <Webspot> Goldenphoenix: what do you mean alias?
[07:35] <Nukeador> gozert, i mean if i run ubuntu in normal mode, i get a blank screen instead of the login screen, then i start ubuntu in recovery mode, and run gdm manually (i get and error with HAL, normal if all the services are off) and log into the system
[07:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about opengl - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:36] <pavs> I think I will go for linux+ to get me started somewhere
[07:36] <faemir> msg joe_joe_joe tell me when you have done that
[07:36] <arphetic> Kresjah: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[07:36] <gozert> Nukeador: strange... have you set gdm to auto login?
[07:36] <ikonia> pavs: how about just play with linux
[07:36] <Kresjah> I've been searching on the net through all kinds of how-to's, and basically found one on how to get the binary snapshots running on ubuntu. The newest snapshots are from 20060403 (development has stopped it seems), and from reading several other threads on it, these binaries has an issue where polygons drawn outside off the screen goes missing.
[07:36] <ikonia> pavs: forget certification
[07:36] <Goldenphoenix> if there stands "alias" in this line or is there only "ndiswrapper" alone
[07:36] <Nukeador> gozert, no, i read about that but my gdm has not autologin enable
[07:36] <Kresjah> arphetic: I'm currently running feisty herd3, although I had this issue with Edgy too
[07:36] <Webspot> Goldenphoenix: just ndiswrapper alone
[07:37] <pavs> certification will give me motivation to learn even harder , me thinks
[07:37] <arphetic> I have no experience with either feisty or Edgy, but hold on
[07:37] <Kresjah> But in one of the topics out there, someone said that the polygon issue seems to be something with the binaries, and building the mesa/dri source rather than using binaries solves the problem.
[07:37] <ikonia> pavs: you'll get no-one with out just playing
[07:37] <ikonia> s/no-one/no-where
[07:37] <aalhamad> is there a way i can set my own proxy?
[07:37] <Goldenphoenix> what is the chip on your Card, Webspot
[07:37] <gozert> pavs: try running a webserver, dns server, samba, etc etc. create complete (virtual) networks, try creating rpm and deb packages, try out lots of distros like slackware, debian, suse, fedora, ubutu (ofcourse), and read a good buck like running linux or linux in a nutshell
[07:37] <ikonia> aalhamad: not if your behind a firewall thats causing your problems
[07:37] <Kresjah> So, I've been trying to build mesa/dri based on the guide here: http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Building
[07:38] <gozert> and forget nice GUIs, run everything from terminal windows or virtual consoles
[07:38] <Webspot> Goldenphoenix: atheros
[07:38] <Webspot> Goldenphoenix: gtg. ill come back to #ubuntu later
[07:38] <aalhamad> ikonia, then if i want to surf anonymouse what shall i do?
[07:38] <Kresjah> I managed to get myself to 1.6, but there's where my problems with getting the sources working started.
[07:38] <aatdark> does any one know how the get german for openoffice ..?
[07:38] <gozert> Nukeador: can you run X :1 from a virtual console?
[07:38] <gozert> Nukeador: does that give a gray mesh?
[07:38] <ikonia> aalhamad: you'll need an external proxy
[07:39] <arphetic> pavs: you might better start with some e-Books on linux or something
[07:39] <aalhamad> ikonia, is there a wiki i can reffer ?
[07:39] <pavs> gozert thanks for your list :) I have done the the first 3 of them and on my secondbook now (linux bible, and novell Linux+ guide)
[07:39] <Kresjah> I'll just hold a bit so that people can catch up with my non-talking :p
[07:39] <Nukeador> gozert, i cant do ctrl+alt+f1 in the blank screen unfortunately
[07:39] <gozert> pavs: great :)
[07:39] <Kresjah> non-stop that should be
[07:39] <gozert> Nukeador: ohhh it locks up hmm
[07:39] <freshfish> anyone installed ubuntu 6.10 on a thinkpad T60p 2623? If so how do you like it compared to Suse
[07:39] <ikonia> aalhamad: your not getting it - if your being blocked, you need a proxy on your network thats not blocked - you can't just "have one"
[07:39] <gozert> Nukeador: so you dont get X at all?
[07:40] <amar>  can anyone plz explain me how to upgrade ubuntu 5.10 to 6.10......... i'm a newbie...
[07:40] <ikonia> freshfish: I've run it on a T60
[07:40] <pavs> arphatic I have hacking ubuntu e-book, very interesting i havent read it yet
[07:40] <ikonia> pavs: how do you know its interesting if you've not read it ?
[07:40] <freshfish> ATI drivers work ok?
[07:40] <ikonia> freshfish: yup
[07:40] <Nukeador> gozert, i do X :1 and i get a grey screen yes
[07:40] <aalhamad> ikonia, ok now i get you..thanks
[07:40] <gozert> amar: download the Ubuntu 6.06.1 Alternate CD
[07:40] <pavs> i went through couple of pages fro the middle
[07:40] <freshfish> fingerprint reader?
[07:40] <gozert> amar: then insert that while its running
[07:40] <ikonia> freshfish: didn't use that
[07:40] <gozert> amar: it should autodetect the new version and ask you if you want to upgrade
[07:40] <aalhamad> ikonia, what sites offers other proxy.. cause i can't go on trial and error
[07:41] <Nukeador> gozert, but in normal mode there is no X at all
[07:41] <comradeC> how do you tell what module is associated with a device like eth1?
[07:41] <gozert> Nukeador: weird :D
[07:41] <ikonia> pavs: thats crap - you can't base a topic you know nothing about as "interesting" based on a few pages of a book you've not read
[07:41] <Flustrated> okay, so I figured out that my HDTV is cutting off part of the screen due to overscan in a factory mode (720p), does anyone know how to go about fixing this?
[07:41] <freshfish> so last Q, did it work "Out of the box"?
[07:41] <ikonia> aalhamad: it doesn't matter what sites offer proxys - if you can't get to them on your network
[07:41] <ikonia> freshfish: yes it did
[07:41] <Flustrated> I used to be able to fix the overscan issue in Windows XP by setting the resolution of the TV to one setting under 1080i
[07:41] <freshfish> man thx good news *_^
[07:41] <n|RaY> hey guys :D
[07:41] <rahmetli> why do you use gnome? i really wonder. is it just the matter of taste?
[07:41] <jahid> can anyone tel me, how can i make my firefox to play media files? like songs and videos?
[07:41] <ikonia> freshfish: no problem
[07:42] <Nukeador> gozert, i think that i get the blank screen cause in normal mode no service es loaded
[07:42] <ikonia> rahmetli: personal taste
[07:42] <gozert> Nukeador: i think not
[07:42] <jaldrich> Flustrated:  you  not in  16x9  format  your in 4x3
[07:42] <Flustrated> jaldrich: are you sure?  The resolution showed as 720p
[07:42] <pavs> ikonia "interesting" is an opinion, you may not share it.
[07:42] <jaldrich> so
[07:43] <n|RaY> how i fix this problem: If i start Firefox and loads a site with Java, firefox crashs :/
[07:43] <jaldrich> 720  by what   4x3
[07:43] <unop> comradeC,  i think ethtool might be able to tell you
[07:43] <ikonia> pavs: its like me reading a few pages of atomic fusion - and saying "interesting topic" I know nothing about atomic fusion, so I can't make that call reading a few pages on a topic I know nothing about
[07:43] <jaldrich> 720  is just the rez
[07:43] <Nukeador> gozert, so what can i do?
[07:43] <Raskall> any known problems with evolution-exchange in feisty? Cannot authenticate against the exchange-server
[07:43] <Flustrated> jaldrich: nah, it was 720p, 16:9 ratio, I divided them out on a calculator when I read the resolution and it was correct, or it seemed to be, maybe not
[07:43] <Flustrated> heh
[07:44] <gozert> Nukeador: you _could_ try disabling usplash, or running a different dm
[07:44] <jaldrich> 90% of the market  use 720 is a 4x3 format
[07:44] <unop> Raskall,  can you logon and use the exchange-server with other clients?
[07:44] <n|RaY> how i fix this problem: If i start Firefox and loads a site with Java, firefox crashs :/
[07:44] <amar> gozert:i have downloaded 6.10...... but when dat gparted window appears it gets struck there......
[07:44] <gozert> Nukeador: though i really don't know what exactly causes this weird behavior... maybe if you look at the xorg log file
[07:44] <Raskall> unop: with outlook, yes. :)
[07:44] <Flustrated> jaldrich: nope, it was correct, resolution was rated at 1280x720, which is 16:9
[07:44] <gozert> amar: you can't upgrade 5.10 to 6.10
[07:44] <comradeC> does anyone here have a broadcom 4138 wireless
[07:44] <pavs> ikinio, its an "interesting topic" because it interests you, you dont necessarilly have to know everything about it. like I said its a perssonal opinion.
[07:45] <Raskall> unop: I guess I miss some kerberos-stuff.
[07:45] <gozert> amar: upgrade to 6.06 first
[07:45] <Nukeador> gozert, .Xsessions-errors?
[07:45] <jaldrich> ok  then your not setting in the begainning to a 16x9
[07:45] <Anil> hi
[07:45] <amar> k ........ temme how to do dat
[07:45] <gozert> Nukeador: /var/log/Xorg.log.0 iirc
[07:45] <Nukeador> gozert, k
[07:45] <ikonia> pavs: but how do you know it interests you when you know nothing about it ?
[07:45] <amar> i wanna to do it manually
[07:45] <gozert> Nukeador: before launching another X server
[07:45] <Flustrated> jaldrich: it's the resolution that reconfiguring the thing auto-detected, because it couldn't find the mode I tried to enter it into I presume
[07:45] <jaldrich> and depends on how its broad casted
[07:45] <Nino> Oo
[07:45] <amar> i think we can do dat using some code......
[07:46] <unop> Raskall,  verify you are using the exact same settings in evolution  .. maybe grab a howto and have a go that way too
[07:46] <Flustrated> jaldrich: I'm talking about hooking my HDTV up to the computer, it cuts off the menubar, etc.
[07:46] <unop> bbl
[07:46] <jaldrich> yes  me to
[07:46] <gozert> Nukeador: good luck with your troubles, i gotta go
[07:46] <jaldrich> are you using dvi ? or componet
[07:46] <Nukeador> gozert, thanks
[07:47] <Flustrated> jaldrich: my guess is this: WinXP had overscan in these modes too.  My guess is that in regular TV resolutions, (ie 720p and 1080i) you get overscan because the monitor is assuming it needs it because it's broacast content
[07:47] <gozert> Nukeador: you can always disable gdm with update-rc.d -f gdm remove
[07:47] <gozert> Nukeador: then log in to the console and run startx
[07:47] <Flustrated> jaldrich: DVI
[07:47] <Nukeador> aha
[07:47] <gozert> cya ./
[07:47] <pavs> ikonio not reading the book doesnt mean i know nothing about it. the book title was hacking ubuntu , I know ubuntu, and by hacking it basically was referring to messing with setings and importing e-mail froom windowz boz in unconventional way. definately interesting as far as i am concerned even though I dont know how to do it yet.
[07:47] <jaldrich> if you broadcast is 720p
[07:47] <ikonia> pavs: then why did you say you where new to linux - if you know ubuntu ?
[07:47] <jaldrich> your video card might only be 4x3
[07:48] <amaru> fr ???
[07:48] <jaldrich> not 16x9
[07:48] <Pici> !fr | amaru
[07:48] <ubotu> amaru: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[07:48] <Flustrated> jaldrich: not so, I had this working in WinXP
[07:48] <comradeC> I have this problem with broadcom 4138 wireless, I've used ndiswrapper before but not with this card, the odd thing is that ubuntu detects this and installs it as eth1 on my system, but I can't do anything with it like search for essids or anything... I was trying to find the module it is using so I can unload it and use ndiswrapper
[07:48] <jaldrich> so
[07:48] <jaldrich> what is your point
[07:48] <Flustrated> jaldrich: so my card is 16x9
[07:48] <pavs> 3 weeks == new, I would say.
[07:48] <Flustrated> it's not the card
[07:48] <BusMaster> why can't I copy the .dat files in the mpegav folder of a vcd using linux?  Ican very well do it in windows, but linux simply says input/output error
[07:48] <Flustrated> the TV is overscanning the picture in these modes
[07:48] <Flustrated> is there a software way to correct that?
[07:48] <jaldrich> tv use a diffrent res
[07:48] <ikonia> pavs: so 3 weeks = not know ubuntu
[07:48] <qos> hey guys ... i want to install scribes. but it isnt in my packetmanager. i have enabled multiverse and universe in repository ... does anyone know why i cant find it?
[07:49] <jaldrich> lines of resalution
[07:49] <pavs> now 3 weeks == is still new to ubuntu.
[07:49] <Flustrated> jaldrich: where can I find the resolutions my TV can support?  I knew one that worked in WinXP but I didn't write it down or anything and now I no longer have XP installed
[07:50] <Breetai> Hi all, I am running edgy. Anyone have any idea how to get sound in VMWare?
[07:50] <arphetic> Im using ubuntu for 1 week now, but I have used Red Hat a lot before, and I have a certain experience. Besides that I read a lot of docs on several linux subjects. I know what I want to know, I just aint some walking encyclopedia knowing a solution to all problems.
[07:50] <gleiss> Breetai: have you installed the client components?
[07:51] <kiwii> hi, does linux-image-386 have ext3 module installed ?
[07:51] <Flustrated> jaldrich: I'd be willing to settle for 720p if I could fix the overscan, but how do I do that?
[07:51] <jaldrich> your tv  will only out put what the card does
[07:51] <pavs> arphetic exactly my sentiment you dont have to be a genius in a topic to know that a book might be interesting based on reading couple of pages
[07:51] <Pici> kiwii: Yes
[07:52] <jetzi06> hello, how can i deactivate the touchpad of my laptop? there is no entry in the Xorg.conf
[07:52] <aLFiB> does anyone knows what error is this: E: gtk-engines-eazel: subprocesso post-installation script retornou cdigo de sada de error 2 ?
[07:52] <mrpoundsign> ok...  ugh, I am going to have to kill pppd + dhcpd :)
[07:52] <jaldrich> u might try to  with your remote  changing your screen size
[07:52] <aLFiB> it happens when i try to install NVIDIA packages
[07:52] <Flustrated> jaldrich: my TV remote?
[07:52] <jaldrich> yes
[07:52] <kiwii> pici: i installed this by apt-get, and I got error in Grub
[07:52] <n|RaY> how i fix this problem: If i start Firefox and loads a site with Java, firefox crashs :/
[07:52] <Flustrated> jaldrich: tried, no settings
[07:52] <Flustrated> I wish that they'd truly make these TVs like monitors
[07:52] <Flustrated> and give you the ability to adjust picture dimensions
[07:52] <jaldrich> then  that is what the tv will do
[07:53] <Pici> kiwii: can you paste/pastebin the error?
[07:53] <arphetic> pavs: I was more refering to know how to fix all bugs. I'm fimilar with the terminal, and linux itself. Ubuntu is not really THAT different from Redhat to be honest, and there is nice support for it. Eventhough I still dont have the solution for my errormessages problem ^^
[07:53] <jaldrich> you can;t compair apple and oranges
[07:53] <Flustrated> jaldrich: not exactly apples and oranges, but whatever
[07:53] <Flustrated> haha
[07:53] <pudland> xserver help please, crashed after restricted modules update
[07:53] <jaldrich> xp use a closed format driver
[07:53] <pavs> nIray what site? i want to see if i can replicate it
[07:53] <jaldrich> ubuntu use a open  driver format
[07:53] <Breetai> gleiss: yes, but when I turn sound on, I get an error failed to open sound device /dev/dsp device not found
[07:54] <Flustrated> actually I'm using an nvidia binary driver
[07:54] <Flustrated> haha
[07:54] <Breetai> or cannot be opened
[07:54] <kiwii> Pici: I think its a common error, VFS: cannot open root device "hda2"
[07:54] <Flustrated> but whatever you like
[07:54] <n|RaY> how i fix this problem: If i start Firefox and loads a site with Java, firefox crashs :/
[07:54] <jaldrich> i'v been in broadcast  for a very long time
[07:54] <pavs> arphetic main differance IMO is that red hat uses KDE as their main XDM
[07:54] <ikonia> pavs: thats nonsense
[07:55] <pavs> termianl commands in most linux distros are universally same AFAIK
[07:55] <ikonia> pavs: the layout of components and the package managment is the main difference
[07:55] <jaldrich> and all so what are you using  nivida
[07:55] <arphetic> True
[07:55] <pavs> ikonia calling me crap and now nonsense:)
[07:55] <jaldrich> or ati
[07:55] <ikonia> pavs: I didn't call you crap
[07:55] <gleiss> Breetai: ls /dev/dsp?
[07:55] <ikonia> pavs: I said your statment was nonsense
[07:56] <pavs> ok whatever makes you happy
[07:56] <qos> hey guys ... i want to install scribes. but it isnt in my packetmanager. i have enabled multiverse and universe in repository ... does anyone know why i cant find it?
[07:56] <ikonia> pavs: its not about making me happy - you just made a wrong statment
[07:56] <ikonia> how are you meant to learn if you can't take that critisism
[07:56] <pbureau> you two need a room ?
[07:56] <pbureau> lol
[07:56] <ikonia> no thanks
[07:56] <gleiss> qos: did you do an update after chaning the source config?
[07:57] <pavs> ikonia package management in most major distro are differant anyways
[07:57] <comradeC> what does it mean to unblacklist something?
[07:57] <Pici> kiwii: is your rout filesystem on hda2?
[07:57] <ikonia> pavs: not really as there are only 3 or 4 main ones, but the 3 or 4 main ones are the ones that seperate themselves
[07:57] <ardchoille> ikonia, pavs, Please take the off-topic chat to #ubuntu-offtopic . This channel is for Ubuntu specific support.
[07:57] <kiwii> Pici: yes
[07:58] <Minuo> Is there a [somewhat]  simple way to get the ubuntu install CD to give me a ssh session and a text-mode installer?  I want to install Ubuntu on a headless server and I don't have a monitor handy
[07:58] <ikonia> ardchoille: apologiese, got caught up
[07:58] <kiwii> Pici: and swap is on hda1
[07:58] <ikonia> Minuo: the cd doesn't come with ssh server
[07:58] <pavs> oops
[07:58] <pavs> what happened
[07:58] <ardchoille> Minuo: You'll need to use the alternate cd to get a text-based install
[07:59] <Minuo> ardchoille: Will the alternate CD have an SSH server?
[07:59] <pavs> Ikonia: i said major distros.
[07:59] <ardchoille> Minuo: _that_ I don't know
[07:59] <ikonia> Minuo: no
[07:59] <qos> gleiss, sure. it is enabled since months... do u know the exact packet name?
[07:59] <pbureau> pavs take it to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[08:00] <Minuo> I can plug a keyboard in and take my best guess as to what commands I will need to type to get an ssh server running
[08:00] <pavs> ok
[08:00] <Minuo> I've done it with Gentoo, but this computer is slow as crap so I don't want to have to do that
[08:00] <comradeC> what does it mean by saying that I need to unblacklist bcm34xx
[08:00] <pbureau> Minuo, you dont even have a basic monitor handy ? driving blind man your desperate for it eh ?
[08:01] <gleiss> qos: mmm... I confused it with Scribus
[08:01] <Minuo> pbureau: It's a giant CRT out in my garage.  I'll get it if I have to but I'd rather not
[08:01] <pbureau> comradeC,  sudo pico /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and remove the bcm43xx from the list CTL-X and save the file
[08:01] <Kresjah> Hmm... I've followed the instructions of the DRI wiki install on how to build DRI/Mesa so far, but at point 1.6, it says that I should copy the driver files from mesa/lib to /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri ... However, there are two issues; 1. the modules folder does not exist. I could probably mkdir it, but I get the feeling that there's more to that issue than so. 2. The command line they said I should use (cp lib/*_dri.so /usr/X11R6/lib/modu
[08:02] <kiwii> pico: should I recompile kernel ? or there is a problem in grub configuration
[08:02] <joe_joe_joe> hey is there any way I can check my cd with md5, but from windows?
[08:02] <jetzi06> hello, how can i deactivate the touchpad of my laptop? there is no entry in the Xorg.conf
[08:02] <Yodude> hey i have a question about beagle, can i make it the default search engine for my system instead of the default search in ubuntu?
[08:02] <ikonia> k
[08:02] <gleiss> qos: scribes could be in an external, "3rd party" repository
[08:02] <ikonia> Kresjah: what card are you using
[08:02] <technomancy> if i install with the boot parameter "acpi=off" will that only affect that boot, or will all future uses of that installation be unable to use acpi?
[08:02] <qos> gleiss, thank u ... why is it called scribus? i thought the program is called scribes ...
[08:03] <joe_joe_joe> hey is there any way I can check my cd with md5, but from windows?
[08:03] <Yodude> hymntilife: can you help me with something?
[08:03] <pbureau> technomancy, if it does, you could reinstall it afterwards and enable it afterwards ...
[08:03] <OlgaB> How do I change the gamma in gnome?
[08:03] <Kresjah> ikonia: The dreaded ATI Mobility M1 (Mach64)
[08:03] <gleiss> qos: scribus is a page layout editor.  Aren't you looking for the text editor?
[08:03] <technomancy> pbureau: i could, but the installer fails to load on my machine unless I disable acpi =(
[08:03] <technomancy> (this is edgy 64-bit on a core 2 duo laptop)
[08:03] <qos> gleiss, i am looking for the text editor ;)
[08:04] <Breetai> gleiss: it is there,  crw-rw---- root,audio 14, 3 /dev/dsp and the audio group contains the correct user.
[08:04] <ikonia> technomancy: that doesn't remove it from the kernel  - just disables it. Just remove the line from the boot parameters and it will use it
[08:04] <pbureau> technomancy, no you did not understand what I said, run apci=off if it remains off and you want it later, install it again. when you use a parameter it usually means for this install (thus not installing apci)
[08:04] <technomancy> ikonia: ok, cool. i can just edit the grub config files later then?
[08:04] <ikonia> yup
[08:04] <pbureau> yep
[08:04] <funkyzire> hey guys i need your help:
[08:04] <technomancy> ok, thanks!
[08:05] <funkyzire> i have a partition with xubuntu
[08:05] <pbureau> !ask | funkyzire
[08:05] <ubotu> funkyzire: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:05] <technomancy> hopefully failing to boot with ACPI is only a problem with the installer and not with ubuntu in general on my machine.
[08:05] <joe_joe_joe> hey is there any way I can check my cd with md5, but from windows?
[08:05] <Kresjah> ikonia: I tried the binary snapshots of mach64 mesa before I switched from edgy to feisty, but polygons rendering offscreen would not draw properly. From a topic I found back then (which I lost the link to) the polygon drawing issue was for some very odd reasons only happening in the binaries, but should supposedly work correctly if built from sources which is why I'm building from the sources this time.
[08:05] <ikonia> joe_joe_joe: join #windows
[08:05] <gleiss> Breetai: That's all I have.  That and virtualbox.org
[08:05] <funkyzire> and i want completly delete it and use it with my standart ubuntu as a normal data-partition ext3
[08:06] <pbureau> joe_joe_joe, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=md5%2C+but+from+windows&btnG=Google+Search

[08:09] <kiwii> with ext3 support bultin ?
[08:10] <Nukeador> hi again
[08:10] <ikonia> kiwii: why do you want to change your kernel ?
[08:10] <HymnToLife> ext3 support exists since 2.4.15 IIRC
[08:10] <HymnToLife> so 2.6.17 certainly has it :p
[08:10] <ikonia> HymnToLife: exactly
[08:10] <Nukeador> I run services-admin in a terminal, the settings doest save but i see and error: (services-admin:5633): Liboobs-CRITICAL **: oobs_service_set_runlevel_configuration: assertion `runlevel != NULL' failed
[08:11] <Yodude> hymnToLife: can you help me please?
[08:11] <ikonia> Yodude: whats up
[08:11] <kiwii> ikonia, i  try to install ubuntu on computer which doesnt have cd and floppy, so I boot pxe from Knoppix liveCD
[08:11] <calvarez> libboobs? :o ;)
[08:11] <HymnToLife> Yodude, not if you don't ask a question
[08:11] <kiwii> i got install linux-image, add new lines to grub
[08:11] <Nukeador> why service-admin doesnt save the settings? :S
[08:11] <ikonia> kiwii: so what does that have to do with why you want to update the kernel  ?
[08:11] <kiwii> by my system gets an error
[08:11] <Yodude> whassup iKonida
[08:11] <arphetic> kiwii: how do you load liveCD if you dont have a cd player?
[08:11] <ikonia> kiwii: whats the error ?
[08:11] <kiwii> ikonia: cannot open root device "hda2"
[08:11] <ikonia> arphetic: he net boots
[08:12] <Yodude> i have a question about beagle: can it be set as the default search engine?
[08:12] <kiwii> ikonia: it cant read ext3 partition..
[08:12] <arphetic> Ah okey :)
[08:12] <Yodude> i really don't like the default engine in ubuntu
[08:12] <Raskall> unop: got the exchange plugin working. I didn't know that I had to use the owa server address.
[08:12] <cmt^^> Anyone using Skype here? I can't get my mic to work
[08:12] <kiwii> arphetic: live boot on laptop, and then netboot
[08:12] <calvarez> yodude, what do you mean by engine?
[08:12] <erUSUL> !skype
[08:12] <ubotu> To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto
[08:12] <Pici> kiwii: Sorry, I was away from the computer, it just occured to me, are you just putting in hda2 or /dev/hda2 ?
[08:12] <HymnToLife> ikonia, if you stuck with the default kernel, of course it can
[08:12] <ikonia> kiwii: no - it can't see your disk
[08:12] <arphetic> yeah I figured ;)
[08:12] <pbureau> cmt^^,  using gnome ? make dure Alsa doesnt have it as muted
[08:13] <ikonia> HymnToLife: it can what ?

[08:13] <kiwii> when i try to install linux-image it warns me to configure LILO
[08:13] <ikonia> HymnToLife: I know
[08:13] <ikonia> I didn't say it couldn't
[08:13] <kiwii> but if i use Grub do i have to configure Lilo ?
[08:13] <HymnToLife> sorry, that was to kiwii :p
[08:13] <ikonia> kiwii: I think you may want to check your docs - pxe booting has nothing to do with a boot loader
[08:13] <pbureau> <- tries Kunbuntu yesterday... man the 149 updates just mess the setup completly...lol thank god for Gnome
[08:13] <GaiaX11> suppose that I go to the shop today and buy a modern HP printer will i find the drivers to install it in ubuntu?
[08:13] <calvarez> kiwii, nah, if you're using grub you're set
[08:14] <ikonia> Yodude: no idea
[08:14] <pbureau> GaiaX11, why what printer you have ?
[08:14] <cmt^^> pbureau - i did that, but it doesn't work
[08:14] <calvarez> GaiaX11, you should be able to get any printer, I'd recommend you make sure before you go buy it though
[08:14] <Yodude> maybe if i just uninstall the other search function it will be the default seeing it's obviously the ONLY one
[08:14] <PhilH> Hi Guys, Does anyone know of a nice simple way to convert videos to 3GP format for use on a mobile phone?
[08:15] <ikonia> Yodude: search the forums
[08:15] <kiwii> ikonia: i use pxe booting only to install ubuntu, and then i want to use normal boot from grub
[08:15] <Serg1> hello, i just installed ubuntu and i have a question.. why the totem can't play mp3
[08:15] <PhilH> there are dozens of converters for windows but not a lot in the way of linux stuff
[08:15] <pbureau> PhilH, check http://www.freshmeat.net/
[08:15] <PhilH> pbureau, have done
[08:15] <calvarez> yodude, rephrase the question. What do you mean by engine?
[08:15] <Serg1> how to play mp3 music in ubuntu
[08:15] <Pici> !mp3 | serg1

[08:15] <calvarez> !mp3
[08:16] <Yodude> cavarez: like in firefox, the default searsh engine is google
[08:16] <pbureau> GaiaX11, so what the make/model of your printer ?
[08:16] <arphetic> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCamerasLogitech <- I have a quickcam messenger, and I use Dapper Drake. How can I figure out what package/driver I should install (I heared it was supported in the latest linux kernels...)
[08:16] <Yodude> here it's the same: i want Beagle to be the default Search engine for ubuntu
[08:16] <GaiaX11> calvarez: pbureau Where do I find a list of HP printers supported by ubuntu?
[08:16] <calvarez> you're talking of the search engine for firefox?
[08:16] <Yodude> and want it to be the engine of the deskbar search
[08:16] <HymnToLife> Yodude, you know, UBuntu is not a browser...
[08:16] <Serg1> how to install this all with terminal?
[08:17] <Yodude> lol
[08:17] <arphetic> all this what?
[08:17] <adamonline45> How do I exit gnome and all GUI stuff entirely, and get to just the command line?
[08:17] <Yodude> HymnToLife: it's a revolution
[08:17] <Serg1> of codecs etc. to play mp3 music
[08:17] <PhilH> Any other ideas on the 3GP video front?
[08:17] <GaiaX11> pbureau: I want to buy one modern HP. So where do I find a supported ubuntu list?
[08:17] <HymnToLife> well, I really can't see what "the search engine for ubuntu" refers to
[08:17] <arphetic> ctrl+alt+f1 adamonline45 brings you in shell for start
[08:17] <pbureau> GaiaX11,  if you use your web browser and type in http://localhost:631 you will get a web interface for Cups, click on add printer  and check the list , but they carry pretty much all HP printers
[08:18] <adamonline45> arphetic: That will eliminate any processor and memory overhead from gnome?
[08:18] <nofxx> how to use apt-get on other directory? ie.: ltsp chroot
[08:18] <Serg1> i don't want to read
[08:18] <GaiaX11> pbureau: thx :-)
[08:18] <Pici> PhilH: It looks like mencoder can re-encode to 3gp, check out it's man pages for details
[08:18] <Serg1> =]
[08:18] <pbureau> Serg1, then use windows
[08:18] <arphetic> nofxx: man apt-get
[08:18] <Serg1> i want to listen music

[08:19] <minimec> Hi. I installed edgy with the live CD. Installation was done without any error. The problem is, that I can't boot now. The system hangs on grub without error... Is there a posibility to rewrite the boot sector with the live disk?
[08:19] <Yodude> HymnToLife: like when you go to Places-Search, it's the default search engine in ubuntu
[08:19] <stephen> what is firefox name for killall command
[08:19] <mlpug> is there some uname or other command to find out what ubuntu is this? dapper or edgy?
[08:19] <adamonline45> minimec: Is there a flashing cursor under the text "GRUB"?
[08:19] <Serg1> i'll read the ubuntu faq, hope to get some help
[08:19] <minimec> stephen: hmmm firefox-bin i think
[08:19] <Yodude> HymnToLife: i want to replace that TOTALLY by beagle
[08:19] <kiwii> hmm maybe i got problem because I had intrd instead of initrd :D
[08:19] <technomancy> mlpug: more /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:19] <minimec> adamonline45: one moment
[08:19] <pbureau> !gstreamer | Serg1
[08:19] <stephen> yeah that did it
[08:19] <stephen> ty
[08:19] <HymnToLife> can't help you with this, I haven't used ubuntu for ages
[08:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gstreamer - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:20] <thor> does anyone know how to check what kind of drivers my wireless card is using? It's working fine just want to check what driver is used by the kernel
[08:20] <minimec> adamonline45: Yes there is...
[08:20] <technomancy> ok, i've got a situation where enabling acpi in edgy causes booting to fail. (does not happen with fiesty) is it likely that upgrading my kernel will solve the problem? can i upgrade just the kernel without going all the way to feisty?
[08:20] <Pici> thor: try lsmod to list the currently active modules
[08:20] <Yodude> HymnToLife: lol? what are you using now then?
[08:20] <adamonline45> minimec: I had that same problem with an ubuntu-server install on an old pentuim 2... The BIOS doesn't know how to read disks larger than 8gb
[08:21] <cypherdelic> I need help setting up an encrypted Root-FS for Edgy 6.10, any experts? I got error during startup: "no cryptroot configfured, skipping"
[08:21] <HymnToLife> Yodude, right now, I'm on Debian
[08:21] <pbureau> !GStreamer | Serg1
[08:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gstreamer - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:21] <Serg1> pbureau i have check and it's seems that all gstream codecs are installed for my system
[08:21] <Yodude> oh
[08:21] <Serg1> "gstreamer"
[08:21] <adamonline45> minimec: The only way I was able to get it working was to create a physical partition that was 8GB in size, for the root directory
[08:21] <cypherdelic> Anyone familia with cryptsetup-luks for edgy 6.10? please
[08:22] <Jordan_1> is there anyone who wants to be a moderator of a forum here ??? whisper me please !!!
[08:22] <jarg> heya all, i want to download a live cd, my question is, is the same iso? so i don't found a live cd iso
[08:22] <Vilhelms> jarg: Its teh same as the installation iso
[08:22] <ikonia> Jordan_1: probably not appropriate to ask in here
[08:22] <HymnToLife> jarg, the live cd's are the "desktop" ones
[08:22] <adamonline45> minimec: I just put my home directory on a second partition.  The MBR is not the issue, the problem is that when the BIOS tries to read the necessary kernel information it can't find it because it's potentially more than 8gb away from the start of the disk
[08:22] <minimec> adamonline45: it is a 8 GB disk... So I have to flash the BIOS? Oh. So I should do some more partitions... like 4GB for root 512mb swap and the rest for home?
[08:22] <jarg> thanks
[08:23] <cypherdelic> I need help setting up an encrypted Root-FS for Edgy 6.10, any experts? I got error during startup: "no cryptroot configfured, skipping"
[08:23] <thor> Pici: i only get ath_pci. I should have something about madfifi or atheros...
[08:23] <adamonline45> minimec: Once Ubuntu loads, however, it can read the whole disk fine...
[08:23] <Pici> thor: ath_pci sounds like atheros to me
[08:23] <pbureau> thor you have an atheros wifi ? did you install madwifi ?
[08:23] <Jordan_1> if there is someone who wants to join an adult forum , please whisper me !
[08:23] <minimec> adamonline45: THx a lot... That just means that I have to do the whole procedure again... ;)
[08:23] <pbureau> Jordan_1,  go away
[08:24] <HymnToLife> !ops [ Jordan_1 is spamming the channel
[08:24] <thor> no i did not install madwifi. my wifi card is wg311T netgear
[08:24] <nAruto_Elrond> salut

[08:24] <ikonia> Jordan_1: is already leaving......;)
[08:24] <adamonline45> minimec: Hmm, well that's interesting then!  Flashing the BIOS may help, as well as creating a smaller partition for the root directory.  What are the specs of your machine?  Yeah, I think it took me about 4 installs to get it working :) Good luck!
[08:24] <kiwii> ok my system is working :D
[08:24] <kiwii> thank you guys :D

[08:26] <minimec> adamonline45: its PIII 400 with 256MB RAM and a ATI Rage 128. I just wanted to use that machine as a simple client. That's why I didn't do any 'partitioning' ....
[08:26] <pbureau> thor do you plugged it in and does lspci see the hardware ? what does it report it as being ?
[08:26] <pbureau> Vilhelms, type lspci and tell us the network card you using ?
[08:26] <adamonline45> minimec: I learned a lot from ubotu's links regarding grub... It's odd that you're getting that error with just an 8GB disk...  Perhaps it's a similar issue, but your BIOS can only handle an even smaller root partition than the typical 8GB...

[08:42] <Yeseax_> Flustrated, do you mean a real original console? press strg+alt+F1.. F1-F6 are normal the consoles .. F7 is the X-Server.. a ,,console'' on X is called Terminal
[08:42] <antipop> i dont understand all these english howtows
[08:42] <ikonia> then ask speciic questions here
[08:42] <noodles12> i went to system>administration>printing and the "new printer" button is not highlighted and i cannot select it.
[08:43] <Soulless> antipop: I think it's an option marker 'REPAIR' or somethin' like that
[08:43] <Flustrated> Raskall: have you tried dpkg-reconfigure?
[08:43] <infinitee> jughead: what permissions are you aiming at? generally 755 for ordinary user
[08:43] <isakill> wha.....  this copy of x-chat doesn't do multiple networks?
[08:43] <UberPsyX> archangelpetrol | and in the device manager it comes up as a mass media device
[08:43] <antipop> hda: empty hda1 ubuntu hda2 ubuntu hda3 swap hda4 ubuntu
[08:43] <Serg1> heh
[08:43] <archangelpetro> UberPsyX, i suppose it's down to the auto mounting of those kidns of devices.. have you tried manually mounting it?
[08:43] <antipop> i need a grub again
[08:43] <ikonia> antipop: we know
[08:43] <icatalina> hello, i've update to feisty and i've lost the units icons on the computer menu.... (the windows partition). It still mounting it, but it dont appear on the computer menu... do you know how to repair it?
[08:43] <Techno|ust> do you have to make a .sh script if you want to execut unix commands at startup????
[08:44] <archangelpetro> ikonia, my problem is.. that i need to write a txt file to pdf format without the extra bloat.. I need to keep a 1page document under 20kb (openoffice bulks up the pdf to 200k)
[08:44] <UberPsyX> archangelpetrol | as if,  im a complete noob! lol how do i do that?
[08:44] <Soulless> Technolust: I reckon so
[08:44] <jughead> I would like full read/write/execute for all users/groups
[08:44] <infinitee> Techmolust: use "sessions" option to include apps at startup
[08:44] <ikonia> archangelpetro: not aware of an app that can do it that smal
[08:44] <ikonia> small
[08:44] <adamonline45> hpijs
[08:44] <UberPsyX> archangelpetrol | sudo /mount usb?
[08:44] <Raskall> Flustrated: on xserver-xorg? Yes, I did, but I was unable to log in afterwards. GDM had the right resolution, but X just died when I tried to log in
[08:44] <Techno|ust> sessions work with xcfe?
[08:44] <adamonline45> !hpijs
[08:44] <ubotu> hpijs: HP Linux Printing and Imaging - gs IJS driver (hpijs). In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.9+1.6.9-0ubuntu2 (edgy), package size 337 kB, installed size 712 kB
[08:44] <Techno|ust> *xfce
[08:44] <archangelpetro> UberPsyX, sudo mount something along those lines yea :P
[08:44] <suchetha> archangelpetro: i don't think there is a way to do that. a pdf file is large BECAUSE it is an image file.. kind of like a jpeg or summat
[08:45] <infinitee> Techolust: it is in gnome, not sure how to go abt in xfce
[08:45] <archangelpetro> UberPsyX, i have trouble with my own portable storage devices
[08:45] <archangelpetro> suchetha, aye, but there must be a way of dropping its size to something reasonable for text
[08:45] <infidel> is there a mp3 to mmf convertoer for linux?
[08:45] <antipop> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo grub-install /dev/hda

[08:45] <antipop> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$
[08:45] <UberPsyX> archangelpetrol | lol, windows 98 is looking reeeaaallyy appetising at the minute :P
[08:45] <Flustrated> raskall: check out the error log in /var/log/Xorg.0.log or whatever it is
[08:45] <posingaspopular> icatalina: you mean the grub?
[08:46] <icatalina> no, when you are in ubuntu/places/computer
[08:46] <suchetha> archangelpetro: not that i know of, iirc pdf embeds fonts as curves etc etc etc.. that is why it works on any system with any font without the need for the font to be there on teh target machine
[08:46] <archangelpetro> UberPsyX, dont go that way :P honestly i'm probably not the best person to ask :P sorry :)  lookup on ubuntu forums 'manually mounting external drives' etc.
[08:46] <icatalina> you have some partitions icons... and i lost it...
[08:46] <Flustrated> raskall: I know for most monitors it'll try at the top of the list, and see what your hardware will support, so if it's not running at the highest possible res it must've bumped into an error
[08:46] <archangelpetro> suchetha, well, odd that they ask for a page under 20k in pdf format :/
[08:46] <UberPsyX> archangelpetrol | lol thanks for the help. what do you need help with?
[08:46] <infinitee> hey anybody have this wierd prob: laptop peaks performance and fan blasts full when the laptop is left idle for 5 mins or so.. is there some way to fix it?
[08:47] <ikonia> infinitee: update the bios to a better one
[08:47] <archangelpetro> UberPsyX, im trying to send off my PhD proposal :P
[08:47] <UberPsyX> archangelpetrol | i might be able to help :P (helped by a noob
[08:47] <suchetha> i have a problem: i use a sb audigy ca0106, i upgraded to the latest version of eft and now i don't have any sound.. ideas?
[08:47] <UberPsyX> archangelpetrol | lol cool
[08:47] <infinitee> ikonia: oh, thanks.. I shall do that (I never updated!)
[08:47] <Raskall> Flustrated: I tried to add 1280x1024 as a valid resolution in xorg.conf. I am trying to restart X now
[08:47] <archangelpetro> UberPsyX, i wouldnt worry about it, I'm pretty crap at most things too :P
[08:47] <archangelpetro> i imagine you have your strengths elsewhere :P
[08:48] <Flustrated> raskall: k, if it kicks out read the error log afterwards
[08:48] <UberPsyX> archangelpetrol, lol, ok thanks for everything. good luck finding some help :P cya
[08:48] <Raskall> Flustrated: it worked. :)
[08:48] <archangelpetro> UberPsyX, sorry i couldnt be more helpful :P
[08:48] <Raskall> Flustrated: ahh.. nice to have room on the desktop again.
[08:49] <Flustrated> sweet
[08:49] <suchetha> archangelpetro: hmm there are 6 page documents in pdf nder 20kb
[08:49] <suchetha> archangelpetro: so that should be possible.. maybe if you got rid of colours and/or images?
[08:49] <archangelpetro> suchetha, hehe aye, i just want one page.. the actual file is text
[08:49] <archangelpetro> there are no images or anything
[08:49] <Pici> archangelpetro: You may be able to use html2ps then ps2pdf to convert it to pdf
[08:50] <archangelpetro> just OO adds lots of bulk
[08:50] <archangelpetro> thanks Pici :)
[08:50] <suchetha> archangelpetro: hmm try a print to file
[08:50] <Soulless> archangelpetro: Maybe use Abiword
[08:50] <suchetha> that should give you a ps file
[08:50] <Pici> archangelpetro: I believe htm2ps is in one of the repositories, the ps2pdf is in one of the LaTeX packages, I'm not sure which one
[08:51] <archangelpetro> and, I do appreciate all the help :).. thank you very much :)
[08:51] <VincentMX> hi
[08:51] <archangelpetro> ill try  Abiword and htm2ps/ps2pdf
[08:51] <Soulless> archangelpetro: cuz Abiword can export directly to PDF
[08:51] <kmaynard> adamonline45, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart  or start if it's already dead
[08:52] <suchetha> problem: no sound on a sb audigy after an upgrade, can anyone please help?
[08:52] <VincentMX> i've installed edubuntu-desktop, but gnome, firefox, and such, and the educational programs, are in english, while i installed it in dutch
[08:53] <infinitee> sucheta: maybe if you could point what package was installed during the update, someone might be able to help you
[08:53] <suchetha> VincentMX: you may have to install the language packs
[08:53] <rfschmid> Can anyone help me find out what's going wrong with my ATI graphics card for which I just installed the proprietary ATI driver?
[08:53] <Wulfe> can someone help me on amarok ... no sound on streaming audio
[08:53] <VincentMX> i installed a base system, since i had no edubuntu cd, then i upgraded, then installed edubuntu-desktop, then some was in english
[08:53] <VincentMX> suchetha: how?
[08:53] <suchetha> infinitee: i think the primary one was that the kernel got upgraped
[08:53] <suchetha> VincentMX: checking now.. one minute please
[08:54] <nofxx> my screen looks way offset to the right.... nvidia... using nv graphics on a thin client..... how to change that?
[08:54] <sidny4> if I make changes to /etc/network/interfaces, do I have to restart the computer to make those changes come into effect
[08:54] <infinitee> VincentMX: did you go to amarok preferences and use the appropriate device?
[08:54] <Serg1> i can't un-comment file , have no permission..
[08:54] <EissblocK> Hi ubuntu users
[08:54] <Ferret> sidny4: you should just have to do sudo /etc/init.d/net restart
[08:54] <Wulfe> in configure amarok ?
[08:54] <sidny4> alright
[08:54] <EissblocK> i have searched all the google ;) and i have a little issue
[08:55] <EissblocK> i am a beginning ubuntu user
[08:55] <infinitee> !ask>Eissblock
[08:55] <EissblocK> i just installed my nvidia drivers
[08:55] <sidny4> EissblocK: ask your question
[08:55] <suchetha> VincentMX: http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/translations/language-pack-gnome-nl
[08:55] <Serg1> i have opened source.list and un-commented that i need and cannot save the chnages
[08:55] <isakill> I just rebooted after doing some updating....  I can't play mp3s :/
[08:55] <Serg1> -(
[08:55] <suchetha> VincentMX: http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/translations/language-pack-gnome-nl-base
[08:55] <ikonia> Serg1: search the wiki
[08:55] <Serg1> have opened with "text editor"
[08:56] <infinitee> Sergl: use "sudo" before the editor command
[08:56] <rfschmid> I just installed the ATI driver, but fglrxinfo still says I'm using "Mesa GLX Indirect" rendering.
[08:56] <EissblocK> i am trying with this game called nexuiz... so i installed it, and it works for like 2 minutes and then everything returns to desktop again :s
[08:56] <suchetha> VincentMX: download install and enjoy
[08:56] <EissblocK> very sucky
[08:56] <patrick_> hey
[08:56] <coldboot> Whenever I view a LaTeX converted to PostScript file in Evince or GhostView, the text looks like it has pixelitus. Even the text that's part of GhostView's interface looks like pixelitus. Does anyone know where I can start to fix this problem? It's hard to search...
[08:56] <Wulfe> how do i get sound on streaming audio in amarok ?
[08:56] <patrick_> i was wondering if someone could send me 2 files, i messed them up when trying  to do network printing.
[08:56] <patrick_> they are
[08:56] <patrick_> /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
[08:56] <jexdawg> How do i get a media-player control applet on my panel? preferably for rhythmbox?   heck, where do i get any applets?
[08:57] <supmork> hi. experiencing some problem with wifi connection. eg: PC1 has eth1 <IP_ADDRESS> connected to adsl router <IP_ADDRESS> has a wifi card (ndismapper) <IP_ADDRESS>; PC2 (windozxp) has wifi. Wifi software tells they're connected. but in fact it seems that no packets arrive to and goes from PC1 *excep* for ARP request (Who has <IP_ADDRESS>? Tell <IP_ADDRESS>) and browser master announcement
[08:57] <patrick_> and /etc/cups/cups.d/ports.conf
[08:57] <ikonia> patrick_: just re-install cups
[08:57] <danny> hi, I have an urgent network problem [distri == ubuntu]  - any suggestions for a good channel about such problems?
[08:57] <supmork> any suggestion?
[08:57] <patrick_> how do i do that ikonia
[08:57] <ikonia> danny: just ask
[08:57] <patrick_> sorry i'm not that well versed
[08:57] <EissblocK> i understand if u don't answer my question :)
[08:57] <ikonia> patrick_: remove cups - then re-install it
[08:57] <patrick_> ok thanks ikonia
[08:58] <pbureau> danny, #ubuntu-wifi
[08:58] <danny> got a 3com 3c905c nic which connects only with 10Mbit [working fine when I boot windows]  and does not react on commands I give with ethtool
[08:58] <livingdaylight> can soemone tell me what the command is for identifyying one's aversion of ubuntu?
[08:58] <infinitee> Eissblock: yours is a very specific question, I doubt others would have encountered that, hence your q wasnt answered
[08:58] <jexdawg> out of beep-media-player, rhythmbox, banshee, and exaile, which do you guys prefer?
[08:58] <ikonia> danny: try mii-tool
[08:59] <EissblocK> i m not mad about it or anything
[08:59] <danny> isn't mii-tool older than ethtool?
[08:59] <ikonia> yup
[08:59] <Wulfe> Amarok - no streaming audio .. but sound work in ubuntu ... suggestions ?
[08:59] <EissblocK> i just love the linux styles and i kinda hate this
[08:59] <infinitee> livingdaylight: system->about ubuntu
[08:59] <MystaMax> hello, i installed xfce on a server, but dont want it to run all the time, only when I need it, how do I go about that?
[08:59] <ikonia> EissblocK: please be-quiet
[08:59] <Flustrated> infinitee: I like rhythmbox...xmms is good too tho
[08:59] <livingdaylight> infinitee, do older versions of ubuntu have this?
[08:59] <infinitee> Wulfe: try exploring preferences of amarok
[09:00] <livingdaylight> is there not a command line way of finding out?
[09:00] <infinitee> livingdaylight: check your sources.list
[09:00] <Flustrated> I was impressed by how quickly rhythmbox got through my collection, which is rather large
[09:00] <danny> ok, i will try and come back if I can't solve the Problem... by the way if it work, how to make the change permanent for further boots?
[09:01] <ikonia> danny: an init script ?
[09:01] <patrick_>  ikonia how do i uninstall it cups?
[09:01] <livingdaylight> infinitee, huh? just to identify ubuntu version?
[09:01] <shrndegruv> in awn, does anyone else notice that right clicking and selecting preferences doesnt work?
[09:01] <ikonia> patrick_: open synamptic - find cups - click remove
[09:01] <danny> ok which one? and how... havent done this so often...
[09:01] <infinitee> patrick_ sudo apt-get remove cups
[09:01] <Blaise> hi everyone
[09:01] <Wulfe> nothing i have done amarok has gotten me to get sound out of this
[09:01] <Blaise> I'm getting Segmentation Faults when I try and load Firefox, (this also happens from the liveCD), does anyone know how I can get Firefox up and running?
[09:01] <ikonia> danny: add it to the network one, or make your own
[09:02] <danny> ok
[09:02] <Vilhelms> I'm having a problem with World of Warcraft. I installed it on wine but after running it for about a minute the game hangs and so does my whole PC. Then I am forced to a hard shutdown. What could be the problem?
[09:02] <patrick_> then just sudo apt-get install cups after?
[09:02] <danny> thanks and good night
[09:02] <ikonia> Vilhelms: you'll get better support in #wine-hq
[09:02] <bart> Vilhemls which wine version do you use ?
[09:02] <infinitee> livingdaylight: if you cant/dont find about ubuntu under system, using CLI that is the way I thought is possible.. it should be listed what version (dapper or feisty) it gets packages from
[09:02] <Wulfe>  is there maybe something i have to download as far as a plugin or streaming audio plug in ?
[09:03] <Pooky> what's a recommended gnome media player?
[09:03] <Chousuke> mplayer
[09:03] <ikonia> totem
[09:03] <livingdaylight> infinitee, ok, sure

[09:03] <Pooky> kitche, thanks
[09:03] <Wulfe>  do wha ?
[09:04] <ikonia> Vilhelms: try #wine
[09:04] <jexdawg> whadya guys think of exaile?
[09:04] <jexdawg> is it a resource-hog?
[09:04] <Vilhelms> ikonia, Alright that works, thanks :)
[09:04] <Pooky> I really liked it
[09:04] <cmt^^> #winehq
[09:04] <Pooky> but it kept locking up in beryl
[09:05] <jexdawg> pooky, you're referring to exaile?
[09:05] <Pooky> yes
[09:05] <shawn> quick question, how do i get out of X and just have a terminal to install some video drivers
[09:05] <mitcheloc> hey guys, i'm following an older how to guide on mounting a drive using the ubuntu live cd, it mentions getting in the "disks" manager window, i can't find that menu option anymore??
[09:05] <ana_gergal> ola
[09:05] <Serg1> (gedit:11808): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
[09:05] <Serg1> Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.
[09:05] <jexdawg> damn. i'm using beryl and i'd rather have it than exaile.. i'll probably give it a shot though
[09:05] <bart> shawn : ctrl-alt f1
[09:05] <Serg1> what is this..
[09:05] <shawn> thanks bart!
[09:05] <mitcheloc> where did system -> administration -> disks go?
[09:05] <Pooky> I would have liked Listen, if it would let me change the library location
[09:05] <ahmaru3> do you have any idea about a driver for an hercules 3d prophet 4500 with chipset kiroII?????
[09:05] <Serg1> is something wrong in this?
[09:06] <bart> shawn : but you probably also need to stop gdm : sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[09:06] <shawn> okay wait follop up question, how do i get back in gui mode
[09:06] <Hopposai> ok. lack of sound is not a kernel problem
[09:06] <bart> alt F7
[09:06] <shawn> awesome i love you thanks
[09:06] <lolman> If gdm is not running alt-f7 won't get you a gui back :P
[09:06] <Serg1> bye all
[09:06] <rmd_> if i install xubuntu-desktop and decide that i like it, can i apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop and experience no problems?
[09:07] <Wulfe>  anybody have any ideas about amarok ?
[09:07] <Hopposai> rmd_: nor really.. ubuntu-desktop is a virtual package, removing it will not remove the gnome desktop
[09:07] <posingaspopular> Wulfe: what exactly have you tried?
[09:07] <infinitee> rmd_ removing "ubuntu-desktop" wont take away the apps with it.. it would still work
[09:07] <ahmaru3> do you have any idea about a driver for an hercules 3d prophet 4500 with chipset kiroII?????
[09:07] <mitcheloc> anyone?
[09:08] <Hopposai> rmd_: i should know, i tried.. and i now have xfce desktop manager crashing
[09:08] <Pooky> There's a script in the ubuntu forum for removing ubuntu/kubuntu/xubuntu
[09:08] <rmd_> infinitee: so i would have to go through and manually remove all the gnome apps?
[09:08] <Pooky> but, it's kind o scary

[09:08] <SpudDogg> HELP!!! I accidentally move a file to big for the trash into the trash!!!!  How can I get it back?!?!?!?!
[09:08] <pbureau> White_Lightning, what bcm card you have ?
[09:09] <Wulfe>  i have done the default install and never get any sound .. but in other OS's ex: freespire ... the default works
[09:09] <Hopposai> SpudDogg:  if you're REALLY lucky you may be able to roll back the jurnal
[09:09] <infinitee> rmd_ not sure, but it seems so
[09:10] <SpudDogg> Hopposai, how do i do that?!
[09:10] <Fraj> hi
[09:10] <Wulfe>  there supposeally is a way to get it running with package install .. but im not sure what i need to get sound out of a sterming file\
[09:10] <pbureau> SpudDogg,  look for ~/.trash it may still be in there
[09:10] <Fraj> iv installed gpart (Partition program) but how do i run it? I cant find it in applications!
[09:10] <ahmaru3> do you have any idea about a driver for an hercules 3d prophet 4500 with chipset kiroII?????
[09:10] <RyanT5000> i know my printer is on /proc/bus/usb/002/003, but it's not being detected by gnome-cups-add; how can I set it up manually?
[09:11] <RyanT5000> (or make it get detected)
[09:11] <Hopposai> SpudDogg: if its not on the partition you are using now, unmount partition asap
[09:11] <infinitee> Fraj: "sudo gparted" in terminal
[09:11] <naotemp_home> pouet
[09:11] <SpudDogg> Hopposai, no, its not.  any other ideas?
[09:11] <grimboy> infidel, I think you mean gksudo, sudoing gui applications can do bad things.
[09:11] <grimboy> infinitee,
[09:11] <posingaspopular> mitcheloc: what was the question
[09:12] <pbureau> RyanT5000, open a browser and http://localhost:631 and use the interface to install your printer that way
[09:12] <pbureau> ahmaru3, check http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=linux+hercules+3d+prophet+4500&btnG=Search
[09:12] <Fraj> ok gotted
[09:12] <adaptr> anyone know how I can list my mainboard/BIOS info without booting ?
[09:12] <Fraj> but it wont let me delete the main drive its got a lock on it
[09:12] <Fraj> wont let me do anything to it
[09:13] <gpd> shot in the dark: can I switch from 64Bit Ubuntu to 32Bit without reinstalling?
[09:13] <infinitee> grimboy: yes, you are right..
[09:13] <adaptr> Fraj: you should use gksu or gksudo when you run that from X
[09:13] <Fraj> yeh its running
[09:13] <RyanT5000> pbureau: it just gets to "device" and doesn't show anything reasonable either
[09:13] <adaptr> gpd: tricky, but should be possible
[09:13] <RyanT5000> LPT/Parallel, internet, bluetooth, jetdirect, etc.
[09:14] <pbureau> RyanT5000, and you click on administration, remove what ever is there and click on add printer it shoudl l ist it IF it is connected directly to the PC
[09:14] <Hopposai> SpudDogg: http://linux.sys-con.com/read/117909.htm good luck
[09:14] <adaptr> gpd: you'd have to "switch" your distro, and at least swicth all repos to 32-bit sources, then get the whole base 32-bit ubuntu install, probably onto a new partition, then get a 32-bit kernel, then juggle files around, then reboot and cross fingers...
[09:14] <Fraj> adaptr how can i dlete the main partition?
[09:14] <Fraj> as i wantt o get rid of ubuntu
[09:14] <adaptr> Fraj: how *can* you delete the partition you're running from ?
[09:14] <Fraj> yeh
[09:14] <gpd> adaptr: yes - that is what i thought -- probably not worth the effort
[09:14] <Jowi_n1> ahmaru3, best thing is to check here http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/
[09:14] <Savage-{> hey is that new Open Client Solution from IBM supposed to be available yet?
[09:14] <adaptr> gpd: :)
[09:15] <Fraj> as when i put another OS cd in it i twont let me boot from it iv checked the bios etc, says press any key etc but then wton boot
[09:15] <gpd> adaptr: can you remember the apt-get command to clone a dump of packages onto a new machine?
[09:15] <adaptr> does anybody know a way to list my mainboard make/BIOS version without booting ?
[09:15] <Hopposai> this is annoying, my sound card refuses to work.. its being detected, it seems to be working, but no sound is coming out. checked with speakers and headphones.. as near as i can figure it out alsa is setting the volume to 0 and not letting me change it upwards.
[09:15] <adaptr> gpd: never heard of it
[09:15] <infinitee> gpd: "apt on cd"?
[09:15] <kristallpirat> When I run ./configure for gnupg 1.4.6 I get the error: C compiler canot create executables <= any hints how to change that?
[09:15] <adaptr> gpd: but you probably want dpkg, not apt
[09:15] <lolman> Hopposai: tried using alsamixer?
[09:16] <adaptr> kristallpirat: did you install build-essential ?
[09:16] <gpd> infinitee: apt on cd?
[09:16] <Jac1> Hey everyone, i need help with installing Ubuntu on an older PC
[09:16] <kristallpirat> adaptr I will check that
[09:16] <adaptr> kristallpirat: if you don;t know, then you don't have it
[09:16] <infinitee> not sure if I got you right, !aptoncd>gpd
[09:17] <Hopposai> lolman: tried them all.. everytime i raise the volume it drops it ight back down to zero
[09:17] <RyanT5000> pbureau: doesn't work
[09:17] <gpd> !aptoncd > gpd
[09:17] <RyanT5000> is there some way I can force a USB hotplug update or something?
[09:17] <frwagon> I've swapped off the GNOME screensaver system to xscreensaver, and now the screen fades when i'm playing full-screen games... any way to stop that?
[09:17] <Jac1> It is an old PC (used to run 98) and Now i want to install ubuntu on it. But it just won't boot from the CD Drive, it tries to boot windows, eventhough it is no longer on the system
[09:17] <lolman> Hopposai: is it changed on reboot or as soon as you leave alsamixer?
[09:17] <VincentMX> infinitee: i installed the kernel source, but when i compile alsa, it says it cant find /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h
[09:17] <pbureau> RyanT5000, what kind of printer is it ? (dont answer cannon please)
[09:18] <VincentMX> Oops
[09:18] <mrpoundsign> does anyone here use evolution with exchange?
[09:18] <RyanT5000> pbureau: samsung
[09:18] <RyanT5000> it was recognized before
[09:18] <rmd_> ok, so i did a sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop and ubuntu is still loading the ubuntu desktop with gnome apps... do i need do change something?
[09:18] <kristallpirat> adaptr installing ...
[09:18] <RyanT5000> the first time i tried to add it, it worked
[09:18] <pbureau> Jac1, boot iun bios set bios to start with cdrom first
[09:18] <VincentMX> i installed the kernel source, but when i compile alsa, it says it cant find /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h
[09:18] <infinitee> VincentMX: sorry, I never was brave enough to play with kernels :)
[09:18] <RyanT5000> but it hasn't worked since rebooting
[09:18] <VincentMX> ok
[09:18] <pbureau> RyanT5000, what model (some are windows only printers)
[09:18] <Jac1> pbureau: I have but it won't work
[09:18] <RyanT5000> well it's worked before
[09:19] <RyanT5000> ML-2250
[09:19] <pbureau> RyanT5000, try setting it up as an HP 4 printer
[09:19] <RyanT5000> oh what port?
[09:19] <pbureau> usually 9100
[09:19] <RyanT5000> huh?
[09:19] <kristallpirat> adaptr thx that helped
[09:19] <RyanT5000> it's USB
[09:20] <feryana> this is not a linux question, but, do you any one know how to send money from my paypal to my checking account in my bank???
[09:20] <Hopposai> lolman: its changed WHILE i'm using it
[09:20] <frwagon> I've disabled the Gnome screensaver manager, and am using xscreensaver, but some of the settings from Gnome are still overriding... how can i reopen the Gnome SS control panel?
[09:20] <lolman> Ah
[09:20] <Hopposai> i use the arrow keys to push it up and it pushes them back down..
[09:20] <rmd_> you are amazing
[09:20] <infinitee> feryena: what is your login/pw? ;)
[09:20] <rmd_> akk
[09:20] <rmd_> hah
[09:21] <Hopposai> i may have done something incredibly stupid, but this may fix it.. i just removed alsa
[09:21] <pbureau> feryana, login, and click on withdraw
[09:21] <Jowi_n1> frwagon,  "gnome-screensaver-preferences"
[09:21] <feryana> infinitee my login is<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and my pass is dhhhffffbedjffjfdshsbgdfhffjfghdd

[09:22] <frwagon> Jowi - Great! Thank you!
[09:22] <pbureau> RyanT5000, humm....
[09:22] <bakert> Anyone just got the "Technical Board Decisions" email?
[09:22] <pbureau> nope
[09:22] <drake> hey
[09:22] <drake> how do i get to irc://irc.freenode.net/
[09:22] <drake> ?
[09:23] <Seveas> drake, you're there right now :)
[09:23] <nekr0z> Hello all! Is there a way to see how large is a directory with all of it's contents in mc?
[09:23] <darkmatter> drake, what Seveas said ;)
[09:23] <Pelo> nekr0z,  mc ?
[09:23] <warkruid> nekr0z: cmdline "du -ks"
[09:24] <drake> oh word?
[09:24] <drake> alright
[09:24] <warkruid> nekroz: sry "du -cks"
[09:24] <nekr0z> Pelo: Midnight Commander
[09:24] <Hopposai> pelo midnight commander..one
[09:24] <Pelo> ah
[09:24] <posingaspopular> drake: i got you
[09:24] <posingaspopular> you're in knoversation right?
[09:24] <VincentMX> im missing version.h in linux/include/linux
[09:24] <nekr0z> warkruid: yeah I know, but I hoped there was some way inside mc, like they have in Gnome Commander...
[09:25] <warkruid> nekr0z: sry not that i know off. But then I am a commandline junky ;-)
[09:25] <Jac1> I'm trying to boot Ubunto onto an old PC (used to run 98) , but it just won't boot from the CD Drive, it tries to boot windows, even though it is no longer on the system (the Boot sequence is set to CDROM drive first)
[09:25] <Ferret> VincentMX: That only appears once you've compiled the kernel sources
[09:25] <KennethP> nekr0z: F9 + choose info in left or right
[09:26] <Ferret> VincentMX: Although if you don't need to compile a kernel, just build modules against it, you can configure the kernel and run 'make prepare' to get version.h and friends
[09:26] <Hopposai> Jac1: your cdrom drive may not be detecting the ubuntu cd
[09:26] <nekr0z> warkruid: I like command line, but sometimes I have to do some file organizing, and nothing is better than a good old 2-pane manager there.
[09:26] <Hopposai> Jac1: advise you plug in a new cdrom drive
[09:26] <Jac1> Hopposai: It does because when i DID have windows installed i could run the CD from there and install firefox etc.
[09:26] <warkruid> nekr0z: your right of course..
[09:26] <infinitee> Jacl: you have enabled boot from cd as first option in set up, right?
[09:27] <KennethP> nekr0z: Press F9 + choose Info in left or right menu option
[09:27] <nekr0z> KennethP: F9 - isn't that for just menu?
[09:27] <Jac1> infinitee: yes i have
[09:27] <warkruid> nekr0z: the f9 suggestion rings a bell
[09:27] <KennethP> nekr0z: yeah, and try as I told you
[09:27] <infinitee> Jacl: check the contents of the cd from windows.. something might have gone wrong in the burning process
[09:28] <Vilhelms> How can I add custom applications to the Applications -> Internet menu?
[09:28] <Jac1> infinitee: it works on my other computer
[09:28] <nekr0z> KennethP: Looks the same as C-x+i, but it doesn't give the total amount. It only shows what's occupied by directory itself (usually 4 kb)
[09:28] <infinitee> VilhemsL alacarte
[09:29] <Hopposai> nekr0z: it IS C-x+i
[09:29] <Vilhelms> infinitee, Thanks :)
[09:29] <infinitee> !alacarte>Vilhelms
[09:29] <Hopposai> Jac1: hmm as a test, try unplugging the hdd and just boot cdrom livecd style
[09:29] <nekr0z> Hopposai: well it shows the free space good, but i need the occupied space.
[09:29] <maimster> Hi everyone.
[09:30] <jexdawg> is there anyway to control rhythmbox from an applet installed on a panel? its annoying to find it using beryl +3d cubes
[09:30] <posingaspopular> maimster: hi. it's snowing. im upset.
[09:30] <Hopposai> nekr0z: hmm that is a not sure
[09:30] <Jac1> Hopposai: kk, will do
[09:31] <Ferret> nekr0z: In order to display the real usage of a directory all the files and directories within in have to be added up. o.o
[09:31] <maimster> postingaspopular: Yeah. I agree. Hopefully it doesn't stick.
[09:31] <Ferret> nekr0z: You either need to slect the directory in your file manager and run some command or menu-item, or use some other program. ;P
[09:31] <Ferret> tree, xtree, du
[09:31] <posingaspopular> midwest winters are the worst
[09:32] <pestilence> posingaspopular: hope it doesn't stick in chicago?  good luck with that :)
[09:32] <Hopposai> posingaspopular: there are winters in teh midwest now?
[09:32] <maimster> posingaspopular: Spell your nick wrong....
[09:32] <nekr0z> Ferret: du is no problem, and I use it, but I hoped for some builtin feature...
[09:32] <posingaspopular> what's that about my nick?
[09:32] <shrndegruv> how come every gtk theme i download and install from gnomelook errors out when i try to import?
[09:32] <Hopposai> posingaspopular: i remember it used to be two seasons, hot and sticky, and tornadoes
[09:32] <posingaspopular> pestilence: how do you know im from chicago?
[09:33] <Ferret> nekr0z: Check the documentation for your file manager. ;)  If it doesn't have that feature, maybe it just sucks? ;P
[09:33] <pestilence> posingaspopular: /who posingaspopular
[09:33] <posingaspopular> Hopposai: yea global warming is awesome no?
[09:33] <posingaspopular> ahhhh
[09:33] <maimster> pestilence: heheh.. good one.
[09:33] <elias_> Does anyone know if i can get xfc4 via apt-get ?
[09:33] <posingaspopular> even i dont do that on myself
[09:33] <Ferret> nekr0z: Oh, it's mc.   I don't beleive it! ;-)
[09:33] <posingaspopular> where is 2 hours south?
[09:34] <pestilence> champaign
[09:34] <posingaspopular> ahhh does champaing have a linux LUG?
[09:34] <Wulfe> i am near dayton ohio ... bout what we have
[09:34] <maimster> pestilence: As in Champaign IL?  Is that anywhere near Chanute?
[09:34] <pestilence> posingaspopular: i'm sure they do, i've never attended.  there's probably a SIG linux with the ACM at the u of i
[09:34] <Hopposai> ok see you guys when i get this thing working
[09:34] <Hopposai> ttfn
[09:34] <Vilhelms> If I right click on an icon on my desktop and go to properties, how do I find out the location of the icon so I can use it in alacarte?
[09:34] <pestilence> maimster: 15 miles south of rantoul, home of chanute afb
[09:35] <maimster> pestilence: Yeah I went to school there.
[09:35] <pestilence> (former chanute, i should say)
[09:35] <maimster> pestilence: Oh?  They shut her down?
[09:35] <posingaspopular> actually yea there is,this guy in the chicago ubuntu loco went to a lug meeting somewhere round champgain. or i shold say he came from champaign talking about a linux meeting
[09:35] <infinitee> elias: apt-cache search xfce
[09:35] <pestilence> maimster: mid nineties :)
[09:35] <maimster> pestilence: Jesus...  where does the time go.
[09:36] <posingaspopular> my mom today actually said 'you must be real popular, if you're posingaspopular'
[09:36] <pestilence> no kidding
[09:36] <elias_> infinitee, when i use apt-cache search, do i search for everything that is downloadable?
[09:36] <infinitee> elias: yes, that are available in your emabled repos
[09:36] <Vilhelms> If I right click on an icon on my desktop and go to properties, how do I find out the location of the icon so I can use it in alacarte?
[09:36] <maimster> Anyone use the Ubuntu Unlease book?  If so what did you think?
[09:36] <pestilence> posingaspopular: so champaign is where the university of illinois is, in case you weren't aware (it comes as a shock to a lot of people in chicago, i know).  there are definitely a lot of people using linux here.
[09:36] <Wulfe> anybody want to help me with amarok in private convo or tell me stap by step how to get streaming audio to work
[09:36] <suzylee> how can I get Edgy to use my Nivda 7300 notebook graphics card?
[09:37] <posingaspopular> pestilence: ive visted the school and have friends there

[09:38] <Zta> Can someone please help me with ivman?  I want my usb device to be automatically mounted and then have a script executed.  I can only get one of the two to get at a time.
[09:39] <pestilence> webmaren: you need cp -a
[09:39] <pestilence> webmaren: i would use rsync, though
[09:39] <suzylee> minimec: I dont think its using my Nivda 7300 notebook graphics card to the fullest ability as video and DVD doesnt play smoothly at all
[09:39] <Ferret> nekr0z: Command/show directory sIzes
[09:39] <Ferret> nekr0z: apparently. o.o
[09:39] <ahmaru3> ma non c' un modo per scaricare l'immagine da terminale o roba simile?
[09:39] <webmaren> pestilence: okay i'll give it a try

[09:41] <pooya> LjL, hard to get it woring under dapper
[09:41] <LjL> pooya: just keep in mind that dapper is supported for much longer (meaning you get security updates, for instance), and it's often reported as being kind of more stable

[09:42] <LjL> Dallur: everyone who got it from unofficial repositories, yes
[09:42] <LjL> Dallur: you just update it
[09:42] <Wulfe>  any help with amarok with streaming audio ? private convo too
[09:42] <maimster> Hopposai: I thought that client was a lot like BitchX?
[09:42] <blatyo> I cant seem to get direct rendering on
[09:42] <cables> Dallur, everyone's having problems with everything after the updates.
[09:42] <nekr0z> Ferret: Thanks once again.
[09:43] <Dallur> LjL: thx, tried recompiling but still unable to load module :(
[09:43] <pestilence> pbureau: not from her standpoint it doesn't...does it
[09:43] <suzylee> since ubuntu loaded today, my hdd is going crazy and wont stop reading the HDD!  What could be causing that?
[09:43] <LjL> Dallur: tried rebooting after the recompile?
[09:43] <Hopposai> maimster: it is.. bitchX is like ircii for X
[09:43] <Dallur> LjL: yup, no luck
[09:43] <adaptr> Hopposai: bitchx has nothing to do with X
[09:43] <fredl> hi guys, I've created a Debian repository at http://ut-repo.surfnet.nl/, I've followed this document on http://www.jejik.com/articles/2006/09/setting_up_and_managing_an_apt_repository_with_reprepro/ to do so, but I'm having some difficulties with it, would anybody like to try and help me?
[09:43] <maimster> Hopposai: I have not used that client since my old Red Hat days.
[09:44] <pestilence> suzylee: it's probably running updatedb
[09:44] <maimster> Hopposai: I find IRSSI to do what I need, plus I like the scripts.
[09:44] <suzylee> pestilence: whats updatedb?
[09:44] <Hopposai> adaptr: you may be right.. been a long time since i used either
[09:44] <Hopposai> adaptr: actually you probably ARE right
[09:44] <adaptr> Hopposai: bopth are commandline clients
[09:44] <pestilence> suzylee: when you type locate from a command line, it uses the database generated by updatedb
[09:44] <cables> Can anyone tell me why I have "dapper-commercial" in my sources.list? I'm on Edgy. Did Automatix do that (I know automatix is bad, but I found out too late...)
[09:44] <Dallur> LjL: removed all packages, reinstalled, recompiled, and the error I get when I modprobe is F"ATAL: Error running install command for fglrx"
[09:44] <Dallur> "
[09:44] <Wulfe> anybody ... help with amarok ?
[09:44] <suzylee> preaction: okay
[09:44] <maimster> adaptr: Is there any other way to go?
[09:45] <pestilence> suzylee: from a command line, type "ps aux |grep updatedb"
[09:45] <elias_> !sh
[09:45] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[09:45] <LjL> cables: i guess that's enabled automatically when you select commercial programs from Add/Remove Programs, such as Opera or somesuch... though it might also have been added by automatix, for all i know
[09:45] <Hopposai> maimster: i use a WM so i can have mre command consoles running at the same time.
[09:45] <adaptr> maimster: go for what ?
[09:45] <cables> LjL, ok, thanks
[09:45] <LjL> Dallur: hm, i don't really know
[09:45] <cables> Wulfe, try channel #amarok
[09:45] <maimster> adaptr: I was seconding your notion about the commandline clients.
[09:46] <bouter> I' m having a huge problem installing my linksys WMP54G v4.1 NIC   who can help me?
