[02:43] <rohan> CHTboy: that's one of the diagnoses
[02:43] <rohan> Terabyte: no problem :)
[02:43] <CHTboy> rohan the cd work on my virtual pc
[02:44] <rohan> CHTboy: oh .. then on startup pass the parameter "apic=off" ?
[02:44] <ryuk> kk i seem to be getting a problem with playback of avi files in both totem-gstreamer and vlc, i have uploaded the nice pretty images of the output im gettin here http://imagestore.ugbox.net/image/Screenshot_ebb046fc922ed.jpg and here http://imagestore.ugbox.net/image/Screenshot_6db28a.jpg the first one is totem, the other is VLC. what i want to know is does anyone have any ideas why this may be happeing and how it could be fixed?? thanks a
[02:44] <ryuk> ll
[02:44] <rohan> eifzon: why did you use nvidia-settings ? you could've used ubuntu restricted manager !
[02:44] <PirateLeChuck> whoops, i just kileld my ubuntu install ;(
[02:45] <CHTboy> i gonna try,
[02:45] <eifzon> rohan: i wanted the newest drivers
[02:45] <rohan> eifzon: can you paste /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[02:45] <xy77> C'mon, who knows someone who's using a 56k modem with ubuntu?
[02:45] <eifzon> rohan: 1min
[02:45] <PirateLeChuck> i ran fsck and it complained about this being seriously hazardous to the health of my system so i did it anyway of course and now i get an error 17 when trying to boot
[02:45] <PyroKay> hey y'all
[02:46] <ryuk> xy77, i tried it in 6.06.. it was horrible.. really really horrible.. unless u can keep up to date
[02:46] <PirateLeChuck> anyone know how to resolve this?
[02:46] <xy77> ryuk up to date with what?
[02:46] <ryuk> xy77, 'the distribution updates
[02:47] <ryuk> xy77, so things like application updates etc.. it was evil having 200mb up updates appearing to download
[02:48] <eifzon> rohan: http://pastebin.ca/617677
[02:48] <xy77> ryuk: won't be necessary. It's for a friend of mine who's got no broadband connection but I can update his pc once in a while, since he lives next door. I'm just trying to find a working modem.
[02:49] <rohan> eifzon: is the nvidia kernel module loaded ?
[02:49] <ryuk> then yea.. if u set it up on your comp (ie updates drivers if needed etc) then it should be fine for most things, i cant rem how i set up the modem, but it was reasonably easy from memory..
[02:49] <eifzon> rohan: how do i se
[02:49] <xy77> ryuk do you remember which model it was?
[02:49] <rohan> eifzon: paste the output of lsmod
[02:50] <eifzon> rohan: ok
[02:50] <eifzon> rohan: do i have to have the "nvidia" on?
[02:50] <ryuk> xy77, i think i used a few different models (my comp was goin from house to house) ad yea they all seemed to work. the modem drivers seemed pretty generic so they should recognise most modems
[02:51] <tyn0r> hi, can i paste folders in fonts:/// ? or just ttf workz ?
[02:51] <rohan> eifzon: err.. can you just try "sudo modprobe nvidia" ? does that give an error ?
[02:51] <eifzon> rohan: it do not do an error
[02:51] <rohan> eifzon: can you see if "dmesg | tail" gives an error ?
[02:51] <eifzon> no error
[02:52] <xy77> ryuk: this might be true for non-softmodems, but I couldn't find a list of working ones. Trying to make smartlink modems or the like work is just evil.
[02:52] <eifzon> look, i installed ubuntu just from the alt cd, then i download the nvidia driver from nvidia.com, then it worked until i rebooted
[02:52] <ikonia> eifzon why are you using the driver from nvidia.com ?
[02:52] <rohan> eifzon: oh, after rebooting it doesn't work ?
[02:53] <eifzon> ikonia: yes
[02:53] <ikonia> eifzon "why" are you using the driver from nvidia.com ?
[02:53] <eifzon> rohan: i did try using compiz-fusion
[02:53] <ryuk> xy77, lol.. yea never tried for soft modems.. i found my standard one just fine.. but that was a while ago..
[02:53] <eifzon> ikonia: its newest?
[02:53] <ikonia> eifzon its also not supported
[02:53] <ikonia> eifzon newest is also not the best
[02:53] <eifzon> okok
[02:53] <hollowman777> .
[02:53] <eifzon> I am using a GeForce 7950GT 512MB card
[02:53] <rohan> eifzon: you should use the desktop cd, and the driver that's included in there
[02:54] <ikonia> eifzon that should be supported under the driver in the ubuntu repo
[02:54] <eifzon> soo ikonia, shall i get the: "apt-get install nvidia-glx-new"?
[02:54] <ikonia> eifzon well you'll have to remove the junk you've installed first
[02:54] <eifzon> how?
[02:54] <ikonia> eifzon use rm - you should have thought about that before putting random things on your system
[02:54] <ubuntu> hello
[02:54] <kbrooks> casual__moron, yes. you can do that on the command line. GUI works but it's not like press search and get a list.
[02:55] <eifzon> gah ill reinstall comp
[02:55] <eifzon> br
[02:55] <eifzon> b:P
[02:55] <casual__moron> ah right, thanks kbrooks
[02:55] <kbrooks> casual__moron, do you know the command?
[02:56] <casual__moron> no, i dont suppose you have it do you (im only just starting out with ubuntu im afraid)
[02:56] <CHTboy> the command apic=off not work
[02:57] <kbrooks> casual__moron, well, first you use iwconfig to find the interface that has wireless extensions
[02:57] <Terabyte> Rohan: I have reached the error message, what should I do now?
[02:57] <kbrooks> casual__moron, and then you key that interface into iwlist <interface> scanning
[02:57] <rohan> Terabyte: is there any option to ignore, or just move past it ?
[02:58] <Terabyte> No just "OK"
[02:58] <rohan> Terabyte: click on ok then :)
[02:58] <kbrooks> casual__moron, when you can find that access point (if you can't, hold on), you then type
[02:58] <Terabyte> rohan: clicked ok, progress bar has gone now looking at ubuntu desktop.
[02:58] <kbrooks> casual__moron, sudo iwconfig eth1 essid <access point>
[02:58] <moggio_> anyone using gutsy?
[02:59] <rohan> Terabyte: ouch .. nothing further ? the installer just quit ?
[02:59] <Pici> moggio_: Yes. #ubuntu+1 for gutsy support/discussion
[02:59] <kbrooks> casual__moron, and then, sudo ifdown eth1 && sudo ifup eth1
[02:59] <moggio_> Pici:thanks
[02:59] <Terabyte> looks like it, though it didn't roll back or anything.
[02:59] <casual__moron> i just got an error mesage come up when i tryed iwlist eth1 scanning (for some reason the wireless has renamed itself eth1)
[02:59] <rohan> Terabyte: ok, just open up a terminal
[02:59] <casual__moron> "eth1      Failed to read scan data : No data available
[02:59] <casual__moron> "
[02:59] <rohan> Terabyte: type "sudo -i"
[03:00] <Terabyte> rohan: typed
[03:00] <kbrooks> casual__moron, ah. hmm. can't help here.
[03:00] <Terabyte> root@ubuntu
[03:00] <rohan> Terabyte: ok, sudo mkdir /mnt/buntu
[03:00] <kbrooks> rohan, no, you can give him the command w/o sudo
[03:00] <casual__moron> oh well, not to worry, im only tinkering at home anyway, so i know what the ap's are called so its not the end of the world
[03:00] <casual__moron> thanks for your help though
[03:00] <rohan> kbrooks: no, i'll need to chroot
[03:00] <Terabyte> rohan done
[03:01] <kbrooks> casual__moron, ah, well then essid to that ap
[03:01] <rohan> kbrooks: ouch, i am sorry .. my mistake
[03:01] <rohan> kbrooks: you were right :)
[03:01] <ryuk> kk i seem to be getting a problem with playback of avi files in both totem-gstreamer and vlc, i have uploaded the nice pretty images of the output im gettin here http://imagestore.ugbox.net/image/Screenshot_ebb046fc922ed.jpg and here http://imagestore.ugbox.net/image/Screenshot_6db28a.jpg the first one is totem, the other is VLC. what i want to know is does anyone have any ideas why this may be happeing and how it could be fixed??
[03:01] <kbrooks> casual__moron, and do the ifdown/ifup magic
[03:01] <rohan> Terabyte: mount /dev/<ubuntu_install_partition> /mnt/buntu
[03:02] <tonytux> hey my swap seems to get eaten up quickly and if forces me to hard boot
[03:02] <Pici> ryuk: I dont have an xwindows session in front of me, but I have had that issue before. I was able to fix it by changing the output from/to XV to something else.  I cant remember off the top of my head.
[03:02] <Terabyte> rohan: how can I find out the install partition?
[03:03] <rohan> Terabyte: the one which you just chose during the install procedure /
[03:03] <ryuk> Pici, ahh i think i kinda know wat u r talkin bout.. but i cant rem wat the command it
[03:03] <Terabyte> Sorry to be a pain, I've forgotten, Can I do something to find out?
[03:04] <kbrooks> Terabyte, rohan told you
[03:04] <ikonia> Terabyte yes - mount and unmount each parition until you find it
[03:04] <Terabyte> I see a 10.9gb volume called /target
[03:04] <rohan> Terabyte: well, there'll just be one linuxpartition right ?
[03:04] <Terabyte> (that should be where it is installed
[03:05] <silvertip257> I'm trying to install True Combat:  Elite ... I've got Wolfenstein ET installed correctly, can someone help me get TC: E installed properly?
[03:05] <rohan> Terabyte: ok, mount will show mount point
[03:05] <tonytux> does anyone have problems with vanishing swap syndrome?
[03:05] <gordonjcp> "vanishing swap syndrome"?
[03:05] <Terabyte> Rohan: I still don't understand what i'm looking for though, can you give me an example..?
[03:06] <Terabyte> mount /dev/???? /mnt/buntu
[03:06] <tonytux> well my swap is eaten up by various programs and I can't figure out how to quell this
[03:06] <rohan> Terabyte: you are looking for the place where ubuntu was partially installed .. in another terminal typing "mount" should help
[03:06] <rohan> Terabyte: you should then mount that partition to /mnt/buntu
[03:06] <rohan> Terabyte: what i want you to do is, chroot into that unfinished install
[03:06] <tonytux> hey I needed to catch someones attention
[03:06] <rohan> Terabyte: but before you chroot, i want you to do something more ..
[03:07] <kbrooks> !ask | tonytux
[03:07] <ubotu> tonytux: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:07] <ikonia> tonytux people can see you
[03:07] <danya_> have anyone here downloaded ubuntustudio ?
[03:07] <ikonia> tonytux yes
[03:07] <ikonia> danya_ yes
[03:07] <Terabyte> so /dev/sda7 of type ext3... thats the one... so I should write "mount /dev/sda7 /mnt/buntu" ?
[03:07] <danya_> ikonia : I'm having a problem with the installation
[03:07] <tonytux> my swap seems to dissapear and it forces me to hard boot
[03:07] <danya_> ikonia can u help me :) ?
[03:07] <rohan> Terabyte: yes, exactly :)
[03:07] <ikonia> tonytux ok - how much ram have you got ?
[03:07] <ikonia> danya_ whats the problem
[03:07] <tonytux> 256 ddr
[03:08] <ikonia> tonytux ok - so your not exactly ram heavy. What version of ubuntu are you using ?
[03:08] <Terabyte> rohan: done
[03:08] <tonytux> !ask | ikonia
[03:08] <ubotu> ikonia: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:08] <tonytux> feisty
[03:08] <ikonia> tonytux I'm not asking a quesiton
[03:08] <danya_> ikonia I've added the and repos to the source list and I found the packages in the synaptic but I cant seem to install them :S
[03:08] <rohan> Terabyte: ok, now type "mount /dev --bind /mnt/buntu/dev"
[03:08] <ikonia> tonytux what are you doing on the box ? using beryl that sort of thing
[03:08] <kbrooks> uhm
[03:09] <ikonia> danya_ you don't add ubuntustudio package to ubuntu - you install the ubuntustudio distro
[03:09] <Terabyte> rohan: done
[03:09] <tonytux> ikonia mostly bt xmms and bluefish
[03:09] <rohan> Terabyte: now type chroot /mnt/buntu
[03:09] <danya_> ikonia I'm just doing what I'm seeing on the site
[03:09] <ikonia> danya_ what site ?
[03:09] <rohan> Terabyte: it should log you into that unfinished install as root
[03:09] <danya_> http://ubuntustudio.com/downloads
[03:09] <Terabyte> rohan: done
[03:09] <ikonia> tonytux  open a terminal and do "sudo top" and see whats eating up memory and cpu
[03:10] <rohan> Terabyte: type "apt-get install -f"
[03:10] <kbrooks> rohan, can i say something, by default the 7.04 livecd mounts ext3 partitions as noexec
[03:10] <ikonia> danya_ have you downloaded the dvd - burnt it and installed ubuntu studio ?
[03:10] <tonytux> ikonia-usually when it's too late, I can't even close a window or switch to a terminal
[03:10] <rohan> kbrooks: by all means .. i am no expert, if i make some mistake, please tell
[03:10] <kbrooks> rohan, so, you can't simply chroot when you have an _already mounted_ by livecd partition
[03:10] <ikonia> tonytux do it the first thing you do when yo login
[03:10] <kbrooks> rohan, but it is okay
[03:11] <danya_> ikonia : .. umm .. no
[03:11] <Terabyte> rohan: reading pacakge lists.. done building dependency tree, reading state information, 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove, and 0 not upgraded. root@ubuntu:/#
[03:11] <kbrooks> rohan, since it is mounted by the user right now
[03:11] <rohan> kbrooks: well, if it already worked for him , it's great ;)
[03:11] <ikonia> danya_ there you go then - as I said - you install ubuntustudop as  a distro - not just add the repos to uuntu
[03:11] <rohan> Terabyte: now type "update-grub"
[03:11] <danya_> ikonia : thank u :)
[03:13] <Terabyte> searching for grub installtion difrectory found: /boot/grub, findfs unable to resolve UUID=eei1a00fe-7950-4002-b053-597c40a2c808 cannot determine root device assuming /dev/hda1 this error is probably cause by an invalid etcfstab testing for an existing grub menu.lst file, could not find /boot/grub/menu.lst file. would you like it generated tfor you? Y/N
[03:13] <tonytux> ikonia-nothing on "top" really eating memory when I log in, is it just an overload I'm putting my box into? I run like 2-3 Btornados at a time usually
[03:13] <rohan> kbrooks: any ideas ? the /etc/fstab won't be generated by this time, right /
[03:13] <rohan> kbrooks: or the UUID will be different because it's bind mounted /dev ?
[03:13] <ikonia> tonytux leave top running while you do your day to day usage and just keep an eye on it
[03:14] <rohan> Terabyte: hang on for a sec .. lemme consult kbrooks :)
[03:14] <kbrooks> rohan, hmm.
[03:14] <Terabyte> rohan: thanks:)
[03:14] <kbrooks> rohan, that's a good question.
[03:14] <rohan> Terabyte: or just press CTRL-C and paste the output of "cat /etc/fstab" somewhere
[03:14] <kbrooks> rohan, thee is /etc in the chroot
[03:14] <rohan> kbrooks: and a show stopping one atm :(
[03:14] <kbrooks> rohan, since this is a chroot, umm
[03:14] <tonytux> ikonia-ok, i'll do that
[03:15] <kbrooks> rohan, the uuid isnt known in /dev at all from the livecd
[03:15] <rohan> kbrooks: right, and by default ubuntu lists the partition's normal /dev/sdX name in comments in the fstab file
[03:15] <kbrooks> rohan, see above
[03:15] <rohan> kbrooks: dang ..
[03:15] <kbrooks> rohan, i mean, the uuid in fstab of the chroot
[03:15] <rohan> kbrooks: he'll need to edit the fstab then .. atleast for onw !
[03:15] <tonytux> ikonia-one more thing my terminal, when I switch with ctrl-alt-f1 is oversized and I only get like 1/4 of the screen
[03:15] <rohan> kbrooks: which makes it 10 times more confusing :-/
[03:16] <rohan> Terabyte: can you paste the output of "cat /etc/fstab" somewhere ?
[03:16] <Terabyte> rohan: sure
 ikonia-one more thing my terminal, when I switch with ctrl-alt-f1 is
 ikonia-one more thing my terminal, when I switch with ctrl-alt-f1 is
[03:16] <ikonia> oops
[03:16] <ikonia> tonytux is it an xterm or a gnome terminal - if so just resize the terminal
[03:16] <tonytux> s ok
[03:17] <Terabyte> rohan paste in PM
[03:17] <rohan> Terabyte: fine
[03:17] <rohan> Terabyte: waiting ..
[03:17] <Tha-Fox> could someone help me with Beryl. I installed it and now I have American layout in my keyboard. I need to get it to Finnish
[03:17] <viden> Does anyone have working knowledge of a package called spong ?
[03:18] <tonytux> ikonia-no the gui is fine, but when I first boot I have no ubuntu progress bar and then the gui login comes on fine and the gnome desktop is fine, but if I go totty1 I get big words and can't see all the screen
[03:18] <ikonia> tonytux sounds like your framebuffer resolution is messed up
[03:19] <tonytux> ikonia-I'm running off the onboard vid, HP
[03:19] <rohan> tonytux: which video card do you have ?
[03:19] <ronaldo_> oi
[03:19] <rohan> tonytux: are you done ?
[03:19] <rohan> er..
[03:19] <mdmkolbe|ubuntu> Is there some prefered method of editing Xorg.conf other than just just using a text editor?  E.g. a GUI.  (I can use a text editor, but I like to know what my options are.)
[03:19] <rohan> Terabyte: are you done ?
[03:20] <t325> Hello, how to be sure which /dev/... has been assigned to an usb hard drive?
[03:20] <rohan> mdmkolbe|ubuntu: the best way would be "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[03:20] <mdmkolbe|ubuntu> rohan: thx
[03:20] <rustalot> What does "Would you like to receive list mail batched in a daily digest?" mean?
[03:20] <rohan> mdmkolbe|ubuntu: or if you want even more control "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[03:21] <rohan> mdmkolbe|ubuntu: or if you want even more control "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -plow" i mean ..
[03:21] <tonytux> ikonia,rohan-vid is integrated
[03:21] <SlimeyPete> rustalot: if you say ys, you'll be sent one big email per day withall of the list's messages in it
[03:21] <SlimeyPete> as oposed to multiple seperate emails
[03:22] <Newbie_Dude> OK, I'm trying to compile ZSNES and in the readme it says I need "the standard development tools are installed (gcc, make, ...)" Does anyone know if there's a compilation of all these tools that I can download, or can I get it through the Add/Remove?
[03:22] <PyroKay> get build-essential
[03:22] <PyroKay> sudoa apt-get install build-essential
[03:23] <PyroKay> and that gets you gcc etc.
[03:23] <t325> (I need to format an USB harddrive from ssh; I umounted it, but now I'm not sure which /dev it has been assigned, how to know this?)
[03:23] <tonytux> i had switched motherboards and already knew that this vid driver had issues, and I had to dpkg xserver-xorg to get gui up in the first place
[03:24] <PyroKay> t325, sudo apt-get install gparted and do it from there
[03:24] <tonytux> is there a diff driver or a way to alter tty's resolution?
[03:24] <kbrooks> PyroKay, no
[03:24] <axos88> what kernel does the ubuntu installer use_
[03:24] <axos88> ?
[03:24] <PyroKay> it'll say dev/hda1 etc, why not?
[03:25] <SlimeyPete> axos88: 2.6.20
[03:25] <Terabyte> rohan: sent
[03:25] <Newbie_Dude> @PyroKay: Amazing, thanks so much.
[03:25] <SlimeyPete> axos88: assuming you're installing feisty (7.04)
[03:25] <axos88> that doesn't include the atl1 driver, does it?
[03:25] <SlimeyPete> no idea, sorry
[03:25] <PyroKay> you can get envy and install the ati driver, or do it in restricted modules
[03:26] <kbrooks> PyroKay, it won't. also, he may have more than two drives. dmesg helps.
[03:26] <mdmkolbe|ubuntu> rohan: how do I stop dpkg-reconfigure, ^C doesn't seem to work
[03:26] <Newbie_Dude> Does anyone know an alternative driver for Conexant 56k modem besides the $15 Linuxant driver?
[03:27] <PyroKay> kbrooks, i'll bear that in mind
[03:27] <PyroKay> thanks
[03:27] <kbrooks> PyroKay, in the sense that the most recent log entry involves the detection of USB
[03:27] <kbrooks> PyroKay, and np
[03:27] <PyroKay> well what about lsusb?
[03:28] <puff> Morning, I have a laptop running feisty.  I have a lexmark optra s 1625 networked printer.  I'm trying to get it working with CUPS.  However, CUPS has no lexmark 1625 entry.
[03:28] <Terabyte> rohan: did you receive the paste? :)
[03:28] <PyroKay> puff, you've googled?
[03:29] <kbrooks> what is a usb bus?
[03:29] <gordonjcp> a misnomer
[03:29] <PyroKay> universal serial bus...?
[03:29] <gordonjcp> USB isn't really a bus at all
[03:30] <kbrooks> gordonjcp, i see 4 usb ports
[03:30] <kbrooks> but 5 usb buses in lsusb
[03:30] <Newbie_Dude> A bus is like a pathway that connects different I/O modules and the memory and processor.
[03:30] <kbrooks> so, where's the 5th?
[03:30] <PyroKay> kbrooks, no idea
[03:30] <SlimeyPete> kbrooks: it' the device that your usb ports are connected to internally.
[03:30] <SlimeyPete> kbrooks: extra one on the motherboard for use with a front-connector panel?
[03:30] <erUSUL> Darter: no that i know of, sorry
[03:30] <puff> PyroKay: Yeah, it's not too clear.
[03:30] <kbrooks> so, when i plug in my usb thumbdrive, what happens?
[03:31] <puff> PyroKay: There's this: http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Lexmark-Optra_S_1625
[03:31] <gordonjcp> kbrooks: what do you mean, "what happens"?
[03:31] <Darter> thanks erUSUL
[03:31] <Newbie_Dude> When I plug my USB thumbdrive into a USB port it brings up a little icon on the desktop that allows me to access what is inside of it.
[03:31] <kbrooks> Newbie_Dude, yes. Iknow. but what's the process leading up to that?
[03:32] <grife> where I can see what model my ethernet card is?
[03:32] <Newbie_Dude> I'd have to grab my Computer System Concepts book to explain it. :P kbrooks
[03:32] <kaje> How do I configure sudo user rights at the command line or in conf files?
[03:33] <grife> kaje with chmod
[03:33] <kbrooks> Newbie_Dude, why don't you want to?0
[03:33] <kaje> grife: What files amd I chmodding?
[03:34] <grife> kaje what you want, if I understood you correctly. chmod changes user permissions, yes
[03:35] <kaje> no, I have added a user to my system, but they can't sudo synaptic like I can
[03:35] <kaje> I figured that there was a config file saying what users can sudo which commands... no?
[03:36] <danya_> when choosing a code to add to the source I'm not sure what to choose ( for i386 or amd64 ) .. I kind of forgot if I downloaded 32 bit or 64 bit .. how can I find out ?
[03:36] <erUSUL> kaje: only maembers of the admiin group can sudo by default. if you want you can add them to that group
[03:36] <erUSUL> kaje: just use System>Admin>users and groups
[03:36] <ikonia> danya_ what are you doing ?
[03:36] <michiel_> danya_: uname -a should do the trick
[03:37] <Newbie_Dude> ikonia : danya_ doesn't know, so there must be a way to check whether she downloaded the AMD64 or i386 version?
[03:37] <ikonia> Newbie_Dude yes of rcose uname -a shows the arch
[03:37] <kaje> erUSUL: thanks, that's a big part of what I was looking for... however, lets say I want to create new group that only allows members to sudo on a few commands... how can I do that?
[03:37] <ikonia> danya_ what are you trying to do though
[03:37] <danya_> ikonia : installing fusion
[03:37] <PyroKay> kaje; maybe https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo is useful to you
[03:37] <ikonia> danya_ so why are you editing the source code ?
[03:37] <erUSUL> kaje: man sudoers

[03:40] <danya_> ikonia : I've installed it before and used it :) .. since beryl isn't working anymore with me ..
[03:40] <grife> Newbie_Dude: prepackaged BwstLinux 2000 with manual, back in 2001 when command line was necessity to everything
[03:40] <Newbie_Dude> grife: impressive :) maybe i can find a book or something
[03:40] <danya_> ikonia : and I was just wondering about 64amd and i386 .. because I have intel drivers
[03:40] <danya_> intel vcard
[03:41] <Journeyman> what is a good guide to install beryl for feisty
[03:41] <ikonia> danya_ what does the drivers matter for amd64 or i386
[03:41] <grife> Newbie_Dude: you wanna learn cli, then better get a book yea
[03:41] <tn3270> Newbie_Dude : install a "masochistic" distro
[03:41] <troopperi_> Journeyman: do it in console

[03:41] <Terabyte2> rohan you there? sorry i'm not registered so the PM didn't get through
[03:41] <Newbie_Dude> tn3270 : no better way than complete immersion :P
[03:41] <danya_> ikonia : .. okay whats the difference ?
[03:42] <ikonia> danya_ one is a 32bit operating system, the other is a 64bit operating system
[03:42] <tn3270> books help a lot too
[03:42] <Newbie_Dude> danya_ : don't make the same mistake i made, grab the i386 version... Not many programs support AMD64 version.
[03:42] <grife> Newbie_Dude: also, go to /bin and man everything you see there to get a grip what very  basic apps can  do
[03:42] <younghacker> I want to completely remove apache2 and reinstall again how do i remove all the dependencies because i think i forgot the seperate packages i loaded
[03:42] <ikonia> danya_ as the guide says "this is not for beginners" and you are certainly coming across as a beginner
[03:42] <PyroKay> try synaptic
[03:43] <danya_> ikonia : but when I picked the i386 it didn't work had problems with the installation
[03:43] <ikonia> danya_ "its not for beginners"
[03:43] <PyroKay> danya_, just what are you installing? an .. ?
[03:43] <danya_> ikonia : beryl isn't working with me .. what should I do ?
[03:43] <ikonia> danya_ fix beryl
[03:43] <danya_> ikonia : I tried and asked around
[03:43] <jamiejcumbria> Any on tell me how to find out weather my nic is running at 1000baset?
[03:44] <ikonia> jamiejcumbria ethtool or mii-tool
[03:44] <Terabyte2> rohan: I've pasted it here: http://darkdayssoftware.com/fstab.txt
[03:44] <Newbie_Dude> grife : I'm looking in /bin, so those are all different commands?
[03:44] <malmen> hello
[03:44] <PyroKay> jamiejcumbria, move a file about and see =P
[03:44] <PyroKay> Newbie_Dude,
[03:44] <tn3270> jamiejcumbria : ifconfig -a
[03:44] <PyroKay> ls /bin/
[03:44] <Q-FUNK> is there any way to positively verify whether wireless-tools/wpasupplicant is at fault when connection fails to an AP where it used to work?
[03:44] <malmen> i have a asus f3jc, and my ethernet network not work, i was google for that, and install the driver r1000, and it say to i put driver r8169 on blacklist too, ut i dont know do that
[03:45] <ikonia> tn3270 ifconfig doesn't show speed/duplex
[03:45] <PyroKay> danya_, have you tried beryl? it's easier to install.
[03:46] <ikonia> PyroKay opening a can of worms
[03:46] <PyroKay> oops envy
[03:46] <PyroKay> i should talk less
[03:46] <cyberphaz> the beryl website has a howto on installing on ubuntu
[03:46] <jamiejcumbria> thanks I was using mii-tool and reported 100 but ethtool says 1000baset. mii-tool is wrong.
[03:46] <younghacker> why hasn't apache completely uninstalled from my box,, i did apt-get --purge remove and I can still browse to my site with the browser
[03:46] <ikonia> jamiejcumbria make sure they are both referencing the same device
[03:46] <PyroKay> reboot
[03:46] <gholm> how can I force my X to start at a higher resolution? It defaults to 1024x768 but I have no other option to go higher. I'm using the NV driver
[03:46] <ikonia> younghacker stop the apache service
[03:46] <JimQode> younghacker, you didn't stop the service
[03:46] <JimQode> younghacker, /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
[03:46] <ikonia> gholm reconfigure xorg - or use the nvidia glx driver
[03:47] <Newbie_Dude> Can anyone recommend a good Address Book program? Just need basic stuff like name, adress, phone, eMail. :)
[03:47] <cast> jamiejcumbria: also the nic and switch lights may indicate whether its at 100 or 1000mbps
[03:47] <PyroKay> danya_, still there?
[03:47] <tn3270> ikonia: my bad sorry
[03:47] <gholm> ikonia: get a black screen upon startx. My gfx card is a 8600gts which has had lotsa troubles.
[03:47] <ikonia> PyroKay why would he need envy - he's using intel drivers that don't need any 3rd party drivers
[03:47] <brizi> how do i find out the source build directory for the kernel i am running?
[03:47] <ikonia> gholm yes, lots of support issues there
[03:47] <jamiejcumbria> yea the switch say 1000base and so does ethtool thanks. mii-tool is wrong thanks.
[03:48] <gholm> can't I force nv to a higher res?
[03:48] <ikonia> brizi do you have the source code install from the deb
[03:48] <younghacker> it told me permission denied then it stopped it
[03:48] <younghacker> brb
[03:48] <ikonia> gholm you'll need to use a better driver
[03:48] <brizi> im not sure...how do i find out?
[03:48] <grife> :q
[03:48] <ikonia> brizi why do you need to know ?
[03:48] <gholm> ikonia: where from ? if nvidia can't release a bettr drvr then I'm stuck
[03:48] <brizi> i am installing the linuxant HSF drivers for my modem
[03:49] <ikonia> gholm your not using the nvidia driver
[03:49] <ikonia> gholm your using the nv driver
[03:49] <gholm> ikonia: yes
[03:49] <brizi> it said i needed the kernel headers which i just downloaded using apt-get
[03:49] <ikonia> gholm the nv driver is not nvidia
[03:49] <gholm> I know
[03:49] <gholm> it's the opensource community one
[03:49] <ikonia> brizi ahh I see you'll need the kernel source code then
[03:49] <brizi> then the hsf installer began automatically saying i needed a c-commpiler and the location
[03:49] <dadan_x> my ubuntu 7.04 suddenly goes very slow, when it starts the ubuntu flash screen stays a lot, is there any testing program for package integrity or something?
[03:49] <ikonia> gholm ok so ?
[03:49] <Amy_Lynn> how do I ask nickserv for help to register my nick
[03:49] <brizi> ok so where do i get that info?
[03:49] <cast> Amy_Lynn: /quote nickserv help
[03:49] <cyberphaz> err /msg nickserv help
[03:49] <gholm> ikonia: are there better versions of nv
[03:49] <ikonia> brizi install gcc and the kernel source packages
[03:49] <Amy_Lynn> thanks
[03:49] <gholm> ?
[03:50] <ikonia> brizi they are in the epo
[03:50] <ikonia> gholm no - nv is weak full stop
[03:50] <mdmkolbe|ubuntu> Can I use synaptic to reconfigure a package?
[03:50] <leku> I have a vmware question
[03:50] <leku> i know this isn't #vmware but everyhone in there is sleeping still
[03:50] <brizi> i have gcc4 installed already i believe
[03:50] <gholm> ikonia: OK are there alterantives to nv then?
[03:50] <ikonia> leku so don't ask here
[03:50] <ikonia> gholm the nvidia drivers
[03:50] <leku> well you guys are pretty smart
[03:50] <leku> thought i'd ask anyways
 well you guys are pretty smart
[03:50] <ikonia> oops
[03:50] <ikonia> leku this is ubuntu support
[03:50] <leku> i understand
[03:50] <ikonia> leku not vmware support
[03:50] <leku> and i'm running ubuntu
[03:50] <leku> :)
[03:50] <PyroKay> gholm, the restricted source drivers
[03:50] <ikonia> leku so don't ask
[03:51] <gholm> PyroKay: the ones I can download from nvidia website?
[03:51] <danya_> pyrokay : yea I've tried beryl for a day the next day it just didn't work ..
[03:51] <brizi> so if i use synatpics i should search for kernel-source?
[03:51] <ikonia> gholm I'd try the nvidia-glx pakages first, then the nvidia ones as a last resort, although I don't think the ubuntu packages drivers will support your card
[03:52] <PyroKay> gholm, if you're thinking of installing proprietary drivers, get envy from the alberto milone website
[03:52] <t2> im planning to buy a DVI capable PCI graphics card to ADD a second monitor (1440*900) to my machine... would you guys recommend ATI,NVidia or other for best ubuntu compatibility ?
[03:52] <ikonia> t2 nvidia all the way
[03:52] <leku> I tried to increase the size of my disc in vmware using vmware-vdisk or wahtever, in the vmware server console it says the disc is 10g, but in the guest os (winxp) it still says its 4g
[03:52] <t2> my current card is AGP old ATI 7200
[03:52] <ikonia> leku this is ubuntu support - not vmware support
[03:52] <pmjdebruijn> hi
[03:52] <cast> t2: this 7600GT has worked flawlessly for me
[03:52] <leku> you already said that
[03:52] <grife> where in ubuntu I can see what is my ethernet card?
[03:52] <ikonia> leku so don't take it off topic
[03:52] <ikonia> grife you mean what make or model
[03:52] <t2> ikonia:  so drivers for nvidia are are not a a problem like with ATI ?
[03:52] <grife> ikonia model
[03:52] <pmjdebruijn> when I make changes to "# kopt=root=' and I rerun 'sudo update-grub' my changes are lost
[03:52] <nohurge> xdmcp connection works well on local clients  but  on other clients they get "xdm too many retransmissions" error. i googled but i couldnt get a satisfactory solution, any suggestions?
[03:52] <ikonia> t2 they are better - not not at problem
[03:53] <ikonia> grife lspci
[03:53] <grife> ikonia oh yeah... thanks a million.
[03:53] <ikonia> grife no pro blem
[03:53] <brizi> ikonia how should i go about getting my kernl source?
[03:53] <younghacker> ok i have stopped the service and i have gotten rid of apache2 and i am still seeing the site in the browser window,, is this a cached version or something, should i restart mozilla or should i reboot?
[03:53] <t2> ikonia:  ok great... one more thing when i add this nvidia to my system i will have 2 graphic cards and two monitors... so which one will do the image prcoessiong in games and videos ?
[03:54] <ikonia> brizi download it from the repo
[03:54] <ikonia> t2 depends how you configure it
[03:54] <cast> younghacker: ps aux|grep apache, you can delete a program and it continues to run :)
[03:54] <xavier_> irc.oftc.net:6667
[03:54] <Frogzoo> brizi: sudo apt-get kernel-source ?
[03:54] <t2> ikonia: ok but eventually they should work well so i can have extended desktop like in windows ?
[03:54] <xavier_> \irc.oftc.net:6667
[03:54] <ikonia> xavier_ what ?
[03:55] <ikonia> t2 that is possible ?
[03:55] <ikonia> xavier_ what are you trying to do  ?
[03:55] <Pici> ikonia: i dont think hes here anymore
[03:55] <younghacker> ok so does that just show me that it is still running?
[03:55] <dadan_x> my ubuntu 7.04 suddenly goes very slow, when it starts the ubuntu flash screen stays a lot, is there any testing program for package integrity or something?
[03:55] <ikonia> Pici ahhh yes, well spotted
[03:55] <ikonia> younghacker yes
[03:55] <younghacker> so how do i stop them now
[03:55] <ikonia> dadan_x give us the exact message
[03:55] <Frogzoo> brizi: soz - linux-source
[03:56] <younghacker> or is that just something i have to deal with
[03:56] <ikonia> younghacker man kill
[03:56] <dadan_x> there is not any message
[03:56] <younghacker> man kill?
[03:56] <ikonia> dadan_x you just told us there is a message
[03:56] <dadan_x> just every program starts very slow
[03:56] <t2> also im worred about resolutions someone told me it is annoying from a usage point of view to have 2 monitors in front of you that have different resolutions.  has anyone found this setup annoying ?
[03:56] <younghacker> ok
[03:56] <PyroKay> younghacker, why not just reboot, or pstree then killall ?
[03:56] <ToastGuy> I finally got Ubuntu working.
[03:56] <ikonia> t2 thats just personal opinion
[03:56] <JayRoe> Can someone tell me what I need to do a "make menuconfig"?
[03:56] <dadan_x> the usual ubuntu flash screen at the startup of the computer
[03:56] <ToastGuy> now I need to figure out how to bridge a network connection
[03:56] <ikonia> JayRoe if you tell me why you need to do that
[03:56] <Newbie_Dude> Hey ToastGuy, nice to see you back. :) You had to redownload?
[03:56] <younghacker> listen i am learning linux as i go
[03:56] <ToastGuy> Ya
[03:57] <cast> younghacker: pkill apache, or apache2 if thats what its called, as root
[03:57] <younghacker> so you should tell me what to do
[03:57] <younghacker> cool
[03:57] <ToastGuy> I got it working with a earlier version
[03:57] <ikonia> younghacker whoaaaa nice attitude
[03:57] <JayRoe> ikonia: v4l-dvb
[03:57] <ikonia> younghacker we don't have to tell you anything
[03:57] <ToastGuy> the Ubuntu 6.XX
[03:57] <t2> ikonia: ye i mean does it hurt your eyes on extended periods since you have diff res and maybe even diff refresh rate on each LCD ?
[03:57] <Newbie_Dude> ToastGuy, you runnin' off LiveCD or install?
[03:57] <ikonia> JayRoe the driver for that
[03:57] <powergoal> I want to change the resolution of my laptop screen to the maximum that is permitted by my screen/video card (1280 x 800)  but when I attempt to do it through the monitor & display options menu, it says that the card configuration can not be tested on this machine.  Should I do it anyway?  The specs of the machine say it is supported.
[03:57] <cast> younghacker: linux is just a kernel, btw.
[03:57] <ikonia> t2 thats personal opinion
[03:57] <Newbie_Dude> ToastGuy : Better than nothing I guess. :) It's still Ubuntu
[03:57] <Amy_Lynn> what program will let me work with music on my ipod?
[03:57] <younghacker> i just want to get rid of this and reinstall it
[03:57] <ToastGuy> Ya, is there an upgrade package?
[03:57] <dadan_x> is there an ubuntu 7.04 alternate iso? maybe i should reinstall ubuntu without losing my data
[03:58] <t2> ikonia:  ok i'd like to hear your opinion please :)
[03:58] <ikonia> younghacker and ?
[03:58] <JayRoe> ikonia: I was able to do a make menuconfig until I updated or upgraded Feisty

[03:58] <powergoal> Rug: What are the consequences if it doesnt work?  I get no screen?
[03:58] <Newbie_Dude> powergoal : That Amarok any good? I used to use Winamp/Foobar2000 on Windows so I don't know any good music players for Ubuntu. :P

[03:58] <younghacker> brb
[03:59] <t2> ikonia:  i haven't purchased a second monitor yet ... im still asking people so i can decide to get the same one or a different one ?
[03:59] <cast> Newbie_Dude: in my opinion i want a music player not a music playing database, but lots of people like it. i just use xmms
[03:59] <ikonia> t2 what other people think doesn't matter though
[03:59] <powergoal> Newbie_Dude: I like it...  I havnt had the best experiencing it with my ipod but I havn't done much of that
[03:59] <ikonia> t2 its up to you

[03:59] <ikonia> JayRoe any pastebin
[03:59] <powergoal> Rug: also, does it just modify my xorg.conf?
[03:59] <t2> ikonia:  ok thanks for the help
[03:59] <younghacker> "you should tell me what to do" = is not a form of disrespect, often people make assumptions you obviously assumed i was a more advanced user than i am
[03:59] <ToastGuy> Where's a good place to talk about networking stuff?
[04:00] <ToastGuy> Maybe on IRC?
[04:00] <ikonia> ToastGuy in a networking channel

[04:01] <ikonia> JayRoe your missing headers
[04:01] <ge2x> ikonia: maybe u could throw a link?:)
[04:01] <JayRoe> ikonia what's a header? :-s
[04:01] <ikonia> ge2x maybe you could search the wiki yourself
[04:01] <ikonia> JayRoe file that tells a program what it can do with other programs once its built
[04:02] <ikonia> JayRoe try installing the build-essentials package
[04:02] <luk3> hi fellow ubuntu fans, can anyne help me with a problem i am having with anyremote, i and using a belkin usb dongle with feisty, i have downloaded the kanyremore package and have run .configure
[04:02] <JayRoe> ikonia is that the reason I can do a "make config" but not a "make menuconfig"?
[04:02] <ikonia> JayRoe what version of ubuntu are you using - I didn't think fesity came with gcc 4.1.2
[04:02] <brizi> ok synaptics is showing that i have perl installed
[04:02] <PyroKay> luk3, what's the problem you're having?
[04:02] <luk3> however when i run make i get alot or errors
[04:02] <ikonia> JayRoe menuconfig requires ncuses libs/headers
[04:02] <brizi> i have a file i am trying to get to run so....
[04:03] <luk3> bt_comm.cpp:28:33: error: bluetooth/bluetooth.h: No such file or directory
[04:03] <luk3> thats one of them
[04:03] <ikonia> luk3 your missing the bluetooth headers
[04:03] <JayRoe> ikonia, I just installed a clean feisty. Before I update Feisty I can do menuconfig, after the update I can't.
[04:03] <luk3>  am not 100% sure how this setup works so am finding it hard to debug
[04:03] <luk3> how do i et the headers up?
[04:03] <ikonia> JayRoe install the build-essentials package
[04:03] <luk3> am i missing a lib?
[04:04] <ikonia> JayRoe I'm wondering if this is anything to do with gcc 4.1.2 - I don't have a fesity box on hand to check
[04:04] <ikonia> luk3 no - your missing headers as I've just said
[04:04] <luk3> how do i go about fixing this?
[04:04] <ikonia> luk3 install the bluetooth package with the bluetooth headers - normally the dev package
[04:05] <bullgard4> My computer stores about 40 files containing 'hwmon' in their names. What is the meaning of 'hwmon'?

[04:06] <abli> Hi! I have an older installation of ubuntu on a reiserfs partition. I want to re-install ubuntu, on that partition, without losing my data. Can I do this? (i.e. can the ubuntu installer used to install to a partition without formatting it?) also: is there a documentation of the installin process somewhere (a walkthrough, or something like that)?
[04:06] <le1> ikonia: please visit it
[04:06] <Journeyman> I can't get beryl to work

[04:07] <le1> ikonia: I see.but you could help me
[04:08] <ikonia> le1 no - we don't support phpbb here
[04:08] <JayRoe> ikonia I installed build-essential and now I get this http://pastebin.com/m7ab5f657 not sure if it's the same as before
[04:08] <ikonia> JayRoe it looks like a gcc update has made a few incompatbilities, but I don't have a box to check
[04:08] <ikonia> I can't work it through without a box
[04:08] <JayRoe> ikonia, okay do you know if there's something I can do?
[04:09] <Haza1> Hello folks, can anyone tell me where the default mysql bin directory is in Ubuntu? its driving me crazy looking for it =)
[04:09] <ikonia> JayRoe you can try down grading gcc
[04:09] <Stormx2> Firefox has died badly, and is listed in gnome-system-monitor as "uninteruptable" Ending/killing it does nothing. Is there anything I can do, short of a reboot?
[04:09] <alesan> hi in my openoffice there are no icons, all the buttons have text labels which is very annoying.
[04:09] <ikonia> Haza1 /usr/bin
[04:09] <JayRoe> ikonia, how do I do that?
[04:09] <ikonia> JayRoe use synaptic
[04:09] <Haza1> ikonia: cheers , i will take a look
[04:09] <alesan> how can I put icons? I read I should install some package maybe...
[04:09] <JayRoe> ikonia, uninstall and then reinstall an earlier version?
[04:09] <ikonia> JayRoe pretty much
[04:10] <ramseize> how can i activate my ubuntu desktop effects, it said composite not available.. helppppppppppp
[04:10] <Stormx2> ramseize: #ubuntu-effects please.
[04:10] <Haza1> ikonia: found it cheers! =D
[04:10] <ikonia> ramseize just say "help" not helllllllp
[04:10] <ramseize> ok
[04:10] <ikonia> Haza1 well done
[04:10] <Terabyte2> does a bootloader (grub) (when dealing with triple boot xp, vista and ubuntu on the same drive), HAVE to be installed on HD0?
[04:11] <ramseize> anyway, my speaker doesnt work? how can i fix it?
[04:11] <ikonia> Terabyte2 it makes sense to do that
[04:11] <Terabyte2> Its just I cant get grub to install, I keep getting this fatal error
[04:11] <Terabyte2> gets to 94% and then fails
[04:14] <abli> Stormx2, I would try loggin out then logging back in
[04:14] <tonytux> quit
[04:14] <Stormx2> abli: Yeah could do.
[04:14] <JayRoe> ikonia can I ask you what line in the pastebin that gave away the error?
[04:15] <ikonia> JayRoe the includes from the gcc headers
[04:15] <axos88> 7.04 == feisty right?
[04:15] <Pici> axos88: yes.
[04:15] <ikonia> JayRoe its not fact - just an assumption as I don't have a 7.04 box
[04:15] <byzzyb> hello everybody
[04:16] <root> hi

[04:16] <ikonia> shar0n there is your answer then
[04:16] <byzzyb> can u help me in installing cedega? when I execute dpkg from the terminal it says that it requires superuser privileges
[04:16] <shar0n> :(

[04:17] <sx66> what is the volume app for kde ubuntu called?
[04:17] <root> I have windows xp on sdb and my primary drive is sda, what should i put in grub configuration file?
[04:17] <ikonia> sx66 kmixer I think
[04:17] <ikonia> root grub is setup for your when you install ubuntu
[04:17] <root> hd1,0 boots from sda and that's not what i want
[04:17] <axos88> for a laptop Is there a special flavour of ubuntu, or just "desktop"?
[04:18] <ikonia> root although windows normally likes being on the primary partition on the primary disk
[04:18] <ikonia> root hd0 then
[04:18] <root> k
[04:18] <byzzyb> ikonia, sudo: cedega-small_6.0.2_all.deb: command not found
[04:18] <ikonia> axos88 desktop
[04:18] <axos88> thx
[04:18] <ikonia> byzzyb sudo dpkg
[04:18] <byzzyb> ahh ok :) thanx
[04:18] <ikonia> byzzyb sudo gives you super user privileges
[04:19] <axos88> does the ubuntu installer need to connect to the internet?
[04:19] <ikonia> axos88 no
[04:19] <axos88> I have a NIC that has driver only in kernel 2.6.21,...
[04:19] <axos88> ok
[04:19] <byzzyb> ikonia, thank you it works
[04:20] <ikonia> byzzyb ok
[04:20] <bullgard4> My computer stores about 40 files containing 'hwmon' in their names. What is the meaning of 'hwmon'?
[04:20] <ikonia> bullgard4 at a guess "hardware monitor" logs
[04:20] <lui4> omg i hate xchat time to switch to tha bijatchx
[04:20] <bullgard4> ikonia: What do you mean with 'hardware monitor logs'?
[04:21] <axos88> I heared the ubuntu installer is very "moron-proof"... But there still is an option for more expert users, isn't there?
[04:21] <CapaH> Question, maybe someone here can answer this -- why is it not possible to play starcraft full screen on Ubuntu? The closest I can come is to have a top-left quadrant with starcraft and the rest of the screen black. Anyone know?
[04:21] <Rug> axos88: yupp, get the alternate install CD for best control
[04:21] <axos88> Rug: dammit... I just downloaded the desktop edition
[04:21] <ikonia> axos88 why is that a problem
[04:21] <Rug> axos88: time to annoy a few more electrons
[04:22] <axos88> ikonia: I wanted more control over the install
[04:22] <ikonia> axos88 how do you expect to get more control
[04:22] <abli> Does the desktop edition installer allow one to install to a partition without formatting it first?
[04:22] <ikonia> abli ye
[04:22] <ikonia> abli yes
[04:22] <Amy_Lynn> how can i place an application on my start bar?
[04:22] <abli> ok, thanks
[04:22] <jurp5> why is linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-16-generic gone?
[04:23] <axos88> well I heared that the installer is very "moron-proof"... So a lot of more advanced options are filled out by default
[04:23] <axos88> like partitioning, etc
[04:24] <el_tacano> gdmflexiserver --xnest errors out with a "Cannot start new display.  The X server failed.  Perhaps it is not configured well" Anyone else had this problem?
[04:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Amy_Lynn: go to the applications menu right click on the application you want on the menu and click on add this launcher to taskbar
[04:24] <Rug> axos88: you can still manually controll the partitioning via the 'noob-installer' but the alternate offers a lot more fine-grain control
[04:24] <gdb> No it doesn't.
[04:25] <byzzyb> how can I enable 3D acceleration iif I have a Radeon 9600?
[04:25] <gdb> The alternate CD allows 2 things the desktop CD doesn't -- a text installer and an upgrade in place option, that's it.
[04:26] <gberardi> I just upgraded to Feisty, only to find that I can't boot into Ubuntu. At the splash screen, it waits for a long time, then I get the message: Check root= botarg cat /proc/cmdline

[04:28] <tokj> hi
[04:29] <gberardi> I'm having trouble finding information on how to boot back into Ubuntu. I believe it has to do with the way Ubuntu now uses UUID instead of device names, but being in BusyBox, I don't know how to proceed.
[04:29] <gdb> person51090: In feisty, you want Administration > Desktop Effects > Enable Desktop Effects

[04:32] <erUSUL> !info squid | ge2x
[04:32] <ikonia> liu4 in your home dir  you have to create it

[04:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Pelo: thanks
[04:34] <ikonia> SlimG try forcing the conection with ethtool
[04:34] <jurp5> gdb: rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* ?
[04:35] <gberardi> Does anyone know how to get access to the drives from initramfs?
[04:36] <SlimG> ikonia: no need to, I've changed the cable and now it works again :)
[04:36] <gdb> jurp5: I'm looking at the file on ftp.archive.ubuntu.com right now.
[04:36] <Pelo> gberardi,   make a mount point and then mount it ?
[04:36] <ikonia> SlimG well done
[04:36] <jurp5> hmm
[04:36] <t2> i just read the following about Xinerama in the "Known Problems" section of wikipedia:   "There is currently no way to add or remove physical screens, and there is no way to change the resolution of a screen. (The XRandR feature is disabled when Xinerama is used)"....is this saying that with 2 monitors that have diff resolutions that i cannot set their resolutions ???
[04:36] <Vletmix> Anyone know how to get the restricted ATI driver installed on the server?
[04:36] <gberardi> Pelo: /dev doesn't show any devices that look like drives. I don't have /dev/sda or /dev/hda
[04:37] <ikonia> t2 no thats not what its saying its saying for a spanned desktop the overall resolution must be one big screen - not two different resolutions
[04:37] <Pelo> !uuid
[04:37] <ubotu> To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell:  blkid  (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[04:37] <gberardi> Pelo: Sorry, I should have been more specific
[04:37] <Pelo> gberardi, try with the uuid   ,  blkid is the command to display
[04:38] <gberardi> Pelo: Ok, but blkid isn't available in initramfs, and so I have no way of accessing a decent shell, it seems.
[04:38] <gdb> jurp5: ftp://ftp.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/restricted/l/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20/ -- what's actually downloaded will be one of those.
[04:38] <t2> ikonia:  what is  meant by one big screen  ?   im really confused by this.   i want to have both screens function just like Extended Desktop in windows XP... is that what you mean by spanned desktop ?
[04:38] <ikonia> t2 yes
[04:38] <gberardi> Pelo: Well, thanks anyway. At least that link can explain why there was a move to UUID anyway
[04:39] <Pelo> gberardi, maybe the ppl in ##linux might know ,  slightly  1337er channel
[04:40] <gberardi> Pelo: Ah hah!
[04:40] <gberardi> Pelo: Boot loaders need to update their configurations so that they pass root=UUID=$UUID to the kernel for the root filesystem, which initramfs-tools supports. They may also need to update the install device if they require such things, as noted below:
[04:40] <gberardi> So there we go. It apparently is a problem with grub.
[04:40] <gberardi> Or rather, grub not updating correctly.
[04:40] <Pelo> gberardi, would you like a grub manual link ?

[04:42] <joumetal> I am trying to get HP laserjet 1200 work with pictures. It horribly slow. Ideas?
[04:42] <Pelo> gdb,  you need to put #ubuntu at the beginning of that list
[04:42] <gberardi> gdb: Heh, when I quit my day job in a few months, my commute will be a couple of seconds. B-)
[04:42] <gberardi> Thanks for your help, all
[04:42] <Rug> gdb: that describes #fluxbox nicely
[04:43] <byzzyb> nobody has any ideas on that 3d acceleration stuff?
[04:44] <shar0n> folks how do I remove a library that I installed? :|
[04:44] <Pelo> byzzyb, if you want to enable 3d for beryl / compiz,  you can try asking in #beryl or #ubuntu-effects,  they probably know how to do it
[04:44] <shar0n> installed without using the package manager
[04:44] <Pelo> shar0n, did you compile it ?
[04:44] <shar0n> yes
[04:45] <byzzyb> thank you really much, Pelo will do that :)

[04:46] <Ace2016> but you should have used sudo checkinstall -D its easier to uninstall it, you can remove it directly from the package manager
[04:46] <mbeierl> say, anyone know of a way to stop Evolution from putting signature below quoted replies?

[04:47] <Pelo> Biteyn-1,   ati or nvidia video card ?   you will need to use the alternate install cd
[04:48] <Ace2016> sx66: sudo apt-get install synaptic, then run synaptic, you can then search and uninstall whatever you want
[04:48] <Pelo> fevel,  no ,  menu > applications > add/remove , search for ftp , you'll get a nice selection

[04:49] <sx66> Ace2016, E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

[04:50] <shar0n> lol maked*
[04:50] <Pelo> shar0n, ie if you got rid of the source folder  and all the stuff you use to compile it , you 'll need to do it again
[04:50] <shar0n> yes I did that
[04:51] <Pelo> ferronica,  this isn't an avant channel,  I was just giving you the usual leads,    if that doesn'T work look in gconf-editor, or search for an avant configuration files
[04:51] <Pelo> shar0n, that was my best guess, you'll just have to live with it
[04:51] <ferronica> Pelo: okay
[04:51] <shar0n> lol damn
[04:51] <Biteyn-1> pelo so if that computer doesn't have amd or nvida and it has intel gfx card i use alternate cd?

[04:51] <Pelo> shar0n,  is the lib in question giving you problems ?
[04:52] <shar0n> no, but I'd like it off my system
[04:52] <sx66> shar0n, , E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[04:52] <t2> what happens when you place a window split across/between two different resolution monitors  (using 2 graphic cards (PCI+AGP) and Xinerama)... would each side of the application window have diff resolution ?  if so both graphic cards would be working together to render that single application window ?
[04:52] <terlmann> umm
[04:53] <terlmann> I need some help with ircd-hybrid
[04:53] <Pelo> Biteyn-1, usualy the xserver error are caused by nvidia or ati video card,   intel card should be able to install with no problems,   but the alternate install cd will work with all video cards regardless

[04:56] <Biteyn-1> Standard personal computer (x86 architecture, PentiumTM, CeleronTM, AthlonTM, SempronTM)
[04:56] <Pelo> Biteyn-1,  yes but you need  x86 alternate
[04:56] <plagerism> SlimeyPete, I was actually hoping that someone good point me towards the documentation on pinning
[04:56] <Biteyn-1> 64bit AMD and Intel computers
[04:56] <sx66> shar0n, I can not: I get this error: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[04:56] <Biteyn-1> so i use 64bit AMD and Intel computers
[04:56] <Biteyn-1> ?
[04:56] <Pelo> bobbob1016_, mplayer pluggin will play mov
[04:56] <shar0n> ok run that :)
[04:57] <Pelo> Biteyn-1,  use the archive link, it might be eaiser to find
[04:57] <shar0n> what are you waiting for sx66:P --- dpkg --configure -a
[04:57] <cougem> i was told earlier today that there were problems with some of the update sites with 404s etc (im trying to update from 6.06 to 6.10 and i get errors saying stuff can't be found), any idea when it'll be fixed?
[04:57] <bobbob1016_> Pelo, the mplayer plugin works with swiftfox?
[04:57] <sx66> I can not, it will not let me, it probs for devices and fails..

[04:57] <sx66> shar0n, aboce
[04:58] <shar0n> sx66, sudo dpkg --configure -a     fails?
[04:58] <bobbob1016_> Pelo, the reason I'm asking, is I have them playing in totem in FF, but it doesn't work in swiftfox
[04:58] <Pici> What does a p signify in this ls -l output: prw-rw---- ?
[04:58] <timewriter> hi
[04:58] <Pelo> cougem, upgrading from the alternate install cd would probably be quicker and less troublesome,
[04:58] <shar0n> hmm
[04:58] <timewriter> how do i know if X uses the video drivers i installed ?
[04:58] <nny> is there a channel for developer related questions, such as hosting your own personal repository
[04:59] <Pelo> bobbob1016_,  the totem-mozilla pluggin never worked well for me,  I alsways go for the mplayer one now, , just a suggestion
[04:59] <Pelo> timewriter,  reading the xorg.conf files could give you a clue

[05:18] <Pie-rate> Newbie_Dude: you tell me!
[05:18] <Pie-rate> Newbie_Dude: its probably drawing too much power from the usb ports.
[05:18] <shar0n> Newbie_Dude, its working overtime
[05:18] <neverblue> roachmmflhyr, try both?
[05:18] <Newbie_Dude> shar0n, Pie-rate : Uh oh, I told my Dad to leave his USB hard drive plugged in, and that was 4 months ago...

[05:21] <sn0> js_ are you using an accelerated driver for your graphics card?
[05:21] <sn0> js_ if you are using vesa/non accelerated that would explain slow window redraws
[05:21] <js_> sn0: i'm using nvidias drivers and 3d acceleration works fine
[05:22] <js_> sn0: i just generally find it that applications render slowly and have been doing so for a few years
[05:22] <js_> sn0: at least gtk apps
[05:22] <sn0> js_ maybe your refresh rate ?
[05:22] <js_> sn0: i think it wasnt as bad when i tried fedora
[05:22] <jurp5> still doesnt work

[05:22] <ne0futur> hi all, the lines I put in /etc/hosts are not used by my ubuntu, but ihave the good config in /etc/nsswitch ( hosts:          files dns )
[05:23] <sn0> js_ hmm not sure, dont notice any slowness here :< using nvidia
[05:23] <ne0futur> is there something i should do with ubuntu to have my /etc/hosts be used ?
[05:23] <js_> sn0: also, i often miss the window edges when resizing/moving windows
[05:23] <js_> which is quite annoying
[05:23] <sn0> js_ using desktop effects or beryl?
[05:24] <js_> sn0: nope, though that actually seems to make things more accurate
[05:26] <sn0> js_ any possibility of uploading a picture/animated picture of what is happening?
[05:26] <js_> sn0: im at work right now, but perhaps when i get back home.. i think its the usual behaviour just that it annoys me
[05:27] <js_> sn0: its the same no matter what computer im on
[05:27] <sn0> js_ not sure really, as you say maybe its gtk ;)

[05:32] <robert__> I have a problem
[05:32] <robert__> NVIDIA
[05:32] <OldPink> abli - reformat the partition to ext2 or ext3 using the partitioner given to you
[05:32] <mariocesar_bo> OldPink: tanks i would read it
[05:33] <abli> OldPink, thats what I _dont_ want to do.
[05:33] <OldPink> abli, why?
[05:33] <abli> OldPink, to keep my data, why else?
[05:33] <OldPink> abli, what partition type is the one you're trying to install to?
[05:33] <ge2x> what do i need to add to the squid config file to make it act just as a proxy
[05:33] <ge2x> ??
[05:33] <OldPink> abli, you can't install to a partition with stuff already on it, you need to install to an empty one
[05:33] <ubuntuEdgy> i want to use pxe with live cd sort of like a pxe live ? can it be done ?
[05:34] <abli> OldPink, yeah. I noticed. But that limitation doesnt make sense. Why can't I install to an exsisting partition?
[05:34] <OldPink> abli, if you want to install on an existing partition and keep your data, try Wubi
[05:34] <Hyarion2> hi, all of a sudden my external hard drive isn't mounting and is giving me the error: mount_point can not contain newline, G_DIR_SEPARATOR (usually /), has anyone received this? I haven't changed anything...
[05:34] <OldPink> !wubi | abli
[05:34] <ubotu> abli: wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html
[05:34] <abli> OldPink, I'm not a windows user, and the partition in question is a reiserfs partition with an exsisting, older ubuntu on it.
[05:35] <OldPink> abli, Ah, I understand now
[05:35] <z3r0ph3wl> hej, i have ubuntu on my pc but now i want also install as second OS windows xp on pc but not using wmware or virtualbox. i have empty NTFS partition and how later after install XP set back grub that i could choose what OS to boot?
[05:35] <OldPink> So you just want a base install with the data you already have?
[05:35] <abli> OldPink, so, any idea why I can't do what I want?
[05:35] <OldPink> Isn't that what you already have?
[05:36] <OldPink> I suggest mounting your /home folder to a seperate partition, formatting the other partition, installing there and keeping the /home intact
[05:36] <dr_willis> i keep /home on its own hard drive. :)
[05:36] <abli> OldPink, I have one partition with / and /home and everything else on it.
[05:36] <erl_> hi, is there anyone out there who can help me with some linux-header issue?
[05:37] <MrElendig> erl_: install the devel and build-essensial
[05:37] <OldPink> abli, yes, installing to that partition will result in a fresh install, with nothing saved from last time
[05:37] <abli> OldPink, no, its not what I already have, because it was installed with and older (2 versions earlier) ubuntu
[05:37] <mariocesar_bo> OldPink: i read the post on ubuntu forums, i merge the xorg.conf it didn't work
[05:37] <erl_> MrElendig, i have it updated already
[05:37] <WaxyFresh> where can i download images for innotek virtualbox?
[05:37] <OldPink> abli, ah! Well you can't upgrade two versions at a time
[05:38] <mariocesar_bo> the two monitors are working, i don't know why compiz don't start :(
[05:38] <OldPink> abli, insert the CD in from the next version up when you're running your ubuntu install, and it'll ask you to upgrade
[05:38] <z3r0ph3wl> hej, i have ubuntu on my pc but now i want also install as second OS windows xp on pc but not using wmware or virtualbox. i have empty NTFS partition and how later after install XP set back grub that i could choose what OS to boot?
[05:38] <dr_willis> WaxyFresh,  they can use/convet vmware images i do belive.
[05:38] <OldPink> You'll need to do that twice, albi
[05:38] <OldPink> albi, I guess you're going from 6.06 to 7.04?
[05:38] <nikin> hy i installed ubuntu on my dual PIII PC, on a SCSI drive... , but for some reason the HDD got real hot, so hot, i couldnt tuch it. is that normal? the drive is a 17 Gig Fujitsu.
[05:38] <GigaClon> !ubotu
[05:38] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[05:38] <abli> OldPink, yeah, but I deliberately want to reinstall, not upgrade.
[05:39] <erl_> MrElendig, when i try to install linux-headers package, i was prompted to choose between 6 other options
[05:39] <OldPink> abli, the only way is to backup and fresh install, then restore what you want from the backup
[05:39] <MrElendig> z3r0ph3wl: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/phbc50/howtos/how-to_reinstall_grub
[05:39] <OldPink> Shrink your current partition, make a new one, install there, boot into that, mount the old one, transfer whatever you want and then delete the old one, abli
[05:40] <pdroy> I think ubuntu default CD should have more bluetooth stuffs, kubuntu s packed well in this front
[05:40] <dr_willis> one mans needed stuff..is anothers cruft
[05:40] <z3r0ph3wl> MrElendig: thanks
[05:40] <abli> OldPink, so. Any idea _why_ the installer demands formatting before install?
[05:41] <MrElendig> abli: because you shoud reformat / ?
[05:41] <OldPink> abli installing over an original install would leave lots of uneeded files, lots of missing dependencies, and a generally unstable, unbootable mess
[05:41] <OldPink> abli, you'd risk your current data
[05:41] <OldPink> abli, the operating system is the very base of a partition. of course it needs a format to be installed
[05:42] <abli> OldPink, no I dont, because I moved all my data to an old_data/ directory. So if the installer would be willing to do what i want, I would simply end up with a fresh install, and with my data in /old_data/ .Thats all
[05:42] <MrElendig> /home and /var are the only things that's generaly safe to keep (if you know what you do)
[05:42] <dr_willis> abli,  it would of been safest to move it to another filesystem, or drive...
[05:43] <MrElendig> abli: that's why you shoud use a seperate /home partion
[05:43] <abli> OldPink, no it doesnt. The "operating system" is just files. there is nothing magic about it
[05:43] <ramseize> help, when my login the system sound works , when im about to play mp3 music, thres no sound
[05:43] <OldPink> abli, well there you go. Shrink the current partition down, create a new one, install there, mount the old one to /old_data and have a browse, restoring what you want
[05:43] <OldPink> it's the only way
[05:43] <Bobsentme> Hello
[05:43] <OldPink> Pidgin 2.1.0 is 12 hours late now, and only 44% developed... lol!
[05:44] <abli> OldPink, ok. I already gave up trying to do what I originally wanted. Now Im just trying to understand why this limitation exsists.
[05:44] <roachmmflhyr_> i cant get proftpd server up and running at all. I followed this exactly http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=39566&highlight=proftp+nat
[05:44] <nikin> abli: i think it demands so, that the system folders stay clean. coz if there are initscripts or anything else for programs that arent installed that can couse lot of error messages, and maybe crashes also
[05:45] <Bobsentme> Ok, trying to download Ubuntu. Got the ISO, but it won't boot. Possibly a bad download, from what I've been told.  Is there a program to check the download?
[05:45] <MrElendig> Bobsentme: md5sum
[05:45] <Bobsentme> Cool, thanks.
[05:45] <abli> nikin, so? this is "expert mode" already. If it wants to keep the system folders clean, just "rm -rf" those directories, that already exist and clash with a system directory name.
[05:45] <Bobsentme> bye!
[05:45] <nikin> bobsentme, you should check the md5 sum of the cd image.... you can download that at the same place, you got the cd from
[05:45] <roachmmflhyr_> i keep getting this error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/29802/
[05:46] <OldPink> abli it exists because it exists. It's like saying, why can't I just install firefox 3 on top of firefox 2 and hope it'll work? You need to remove the second first, then install the third. 6.06 and 7.04 are very different, you could extract the CD image, extract that and paste the contents into / if you're really bored and wanting to fight against the right way of doing things, but it's just easier, safer, more stable and dam
[05:46] <OldPink> abli, ask at Ubuntuforums if it really matters to you
[05:47] <abli> OldPink, "extracting the cd image and pasting the contents to /" is exactly what the installer does. What do you think, how do the files get there?
[05:47] <nikin> abli: i understand your problem, and it would be nice, if one could choose not to format that drive, and get an unclean system at his own risk.
[05:48] <nikin> abli: did you try the alternate CD?
[05:48] <mluser> Hello.. Can someone please recommend a HOWTO on install nxserver for ubuntu feisty?
[05:48] <robert__> This is fun : )

[05:49] <Newbie_Dude> I installed build-essentials via apt-get, tried to do a make on the ZSNES source and at the end it said "bash: gmake: command not found" :(
[05:50] <abli> nikin, no. Does it have a different installer?
[05:50] <erl_> Newbie_dude, you need to install gmake also...
[05:50] <Newbie_Dude> !NASM
[05:50] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nasm - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:50] <Newbie_Dude> erl_ so like... sudo apt-get gmake install ?
[05:51] <erl_> Newbie_Dude, perhaps, i'm note sure if that's the right package name ;)
[05:51] <nikin> abli: AFAIK yes.
[05:51] <roachmmflhyr_> do anyone use proftpd? ive been reading and trying everything for 2 days now. i keep receiving this error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/29802/

[05:52] <ramseize> dami pala noypi
[05:52] <ramseize> Noypi rockssss
[05:52] <qaws> Is there any soft for Ubuntu to change x-sensitivity and y-sensitivity for mouse separately?

[05:53] <nikin> hy i installed ubuntu on my dual PIII PC, on a SCSI drive... , but for some reason the HDD got real hot, so hot, i couldnt tuch it. is that normal? the drive is a 17 Gig Fujitsu.
[05:53] <qaws> !mouse sensitivity
[05:54] <dr_willis> nikin,  it was proberly giving the drive a bit of a workout...
[05:54] <axos88> the ubuntu alternate installer provides the nvidia drivers, right/>
[05:54] <dr_willis> axos88,  nope.
[05:54] <axos88> on a laptop, i'll need the 1280x768 resolution, right?
[05:54] <madsen> Does anyone know where I can get hold of libc5 for Ubuntu? I tried packages.ubuntu.com, but all the mirrors returned 404 on the deb.
[05:54] <xBill> roachmmflhyr_: you have to replace "ubuntu-box" with your IP address
[05:54] <radioman> hey
[05:54] <qaws> !mouseyaxis
[05:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mouseyaxis - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:54] <nikin> dr_willis: not that mutch... i did some net brosing.... and ith 1 G RA no swapping took place
[05:54] <dr_willis> axos88,  to get proper res with nvidia chipsets.. i often have to use the nvidia drivers.. Yes.
[05:54] <ramseize> can anyone help me, when  i login, it prompts the system sound, but when im about to play music, theres no sound? what seems to be the problem?
[05:55] <nikin> Gig RAM*
[05:55] <dr_willis> nikin,   if you are worried about heat.. well.. get a fan for it?
[05:55] <axos88> dr_willis: ?!!!! then what? X server won't start for me without those drivers... the screen simply shuts off
[05:55] <axos88> Can ubuntu log into text mode so that I can install the drivers
[05:55] <axos88> ?
[05:55] <qaws> Is there any soft for Ubuntu to change x-sensitivity and y-sensitivity for mouse separately please?
[05:55] <dr_willis> axos88,  install them from the console,  - Odd that it 'shuts' off.. that may be more of a wrong res/screen not gettting displayed..
[05:55] <secureboot> anyone know an easy way to check the hashes of files that will be installed by a given package?
[05:55] <roachmmflhyr_> xBill: which ip address? the one assigned by my ISP, my routers IP, or my LAN IP assigned by my router?
[05:56] <Newbie_Dude> I love Ubuntu, I finally solve one problem than another problem comes up... lol
[05:56] <dr_willis> axos88,  the system should be using the failsafe nv, or vesa drivers. Its possible X is startring.. and just isent getting displayed properly
[05:56] <MrElendig> qaws: if it's a synaptics, I think you can do it by hand in xorg.conf
[05:56] <ramseize> can anyone help me, when  i login, it prompts the system sound, but when im about to play music, theres no sound? what seems to be the problem?
[05:56] <axos88> dr_willis: on a laptop wide screen, i'll be needing the 1280x768 resolution, right?
[05:56] <xBill> depends on where you want to acces the ftp server from
[05:56] <madsen> axos88: Ctrl-Alt-F2 will give you text-mode.
[05:56] <dr_willis> axos88,  i use whatever default res. the laptops lcd handles.
[05:56] <madsen> axos88: Ctrl-Alt-F7 will take you back to the X session.
[05:56] <roachmmflhyr_> xBill: ubuntu-box is no where in my /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf
[05:57] <eifzon> why does the ubuntu alternate cd got a newer kernel then the livecd?
[05:57] <nikin> dr_willis: i know, but i just want to kno if that is normal for a scsi drive.. if its normal, i rip of some helicompter rotors, and hammer it in my case:D but i dont want to spend 5-6 hours of ork to realize that the hdd s are broken.
[05:57] <axos88> madsen: right, thanks
[05:58] <dr_willis> nikin,  it may be the drive isent spinning down.. but if its in use. it will make heat..its amazing how hot some parts get..
[05:58] <axos88> but after I start the X server, it totally freezes (that's what happened on debian and the ubuntu gui installer) no response to alt+ctrl+f1 , or alt+ctrl+backspc
[05:58] <eifzon> so what cd shall i use to install ubuntu
[05:58] <dr_willis> nikin,  i alwatys put fans on all my hds
[05:58] <nikin> dr_willis: yep i realized that with my IDE drives before... but these ones get real hot... i am afraid that they melt tha cables
[05:59] <madsen> axos88: I guess you could boot in single user mode from grub.
[05:59] <Tamale> i lost my terminal history... help?
[05:59] <axos88> madsen ok
[05:59] <madsen> axos88: that shouldn't start X
[05:59] <dr_willis> nikin,  i cant think of a reason they would get hoter under linux, then windows.  never heard of anyone else mention hard drives doing that.
[05:59] <xBill> roachmmflhyr_: what 's the "ServerName"-line in the config file ?
[06:00] <madsen> No one knows where to get a usable libc5 for feisty?
[06:00] <roachmmflhyr_> xBill: here is my conf http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/29794/
[06:00] <jaguar> quick question the picture in my vlc playr while wathcing .avi files is laggy, but the sound isnt.how can i fix that issue
[06:00] <madsen> ... or will I be able to use the Debian libc5?
[06:00] <nikin> dr_willis: never tested them under windows... i dont use windows, for some time now, but this is my first SCSI system, so i dont know what are the normal working temperatures for those drives
[06:01] <madsen> jaguar: You're probably better off asing on a VLC related channel.
[06:01] <Coweater`> Hello
[06:01] <nikin> jaguar: choose a diferent videout plugin
[06:01] <axos88> jaguar: codecs?
[06:01] <nikin> video out
[06:02] <dr_willis> nikin,  i always though scsi drives ran faster, and hotter.. but ive never had one. s0 :)
[06:02] <nikin> jaguar: what kind of Videocard do you have?
[06:02] <Coweater`> private
[06:02] <Newbie_Dude> jaguar : i used to turn the priority up higher in the preferences, but that was in windows xp :p
[06:02] <nikin> dr_willis: these are pretty old driver... 7200rpm... but then i give it a try... ty
[06:03] <xBill> roachmmflhyr_: try adding "<IP_ADDRESS> ubuntu-box" to /etc/hosts
[06:03] <jaguar> nikin,  an ATI something R350 chip
[06:03] <dseomn> this is probably a stupid question, but does ubuntu work with sata hard drive on a mobo raid controller if the raid is turned off?
[06:03] <dr_willis> nikin,  they may be more power hungry also. Newer drives are more engery efficnet i hear.
[06:03] <rolfen> is there any way to minimize rhythmbox to the tray?
[06:03] <nikin> jaguar: did you install the drivers for it
[06:03] <axos88> why aren't nvidia and ati drivers supported by default? I don't think it's that uncommon....
[06:03] <dseomn> rolfen: click on the tray button
[06:04] <jaguar> nikin,  not that i know i just installed ubuntu studio
[06:04] <dr_willis> axos88,  one word... LEGAL RESONS
[06:04] <jaguar> and thats pretty much it
[06:04] <dr_willis> axos88,  oh wait.. thats 2 words. :)
[06:04] <rolfen> dseomn: thanks... lol
[06:04] <dseomn> rolfen: no prob
[06:04] <nikin> dr_willis: maybe i will buy a new one, for that time i installed a 120 G IDE drive..
[06:04] <dr_willis> axos88,  nvidia and ati wont let the disrto makers include them.  Those disrtos that are doing so.. sort of do it  in a round about way.
[06:04] <CapaH> Can someone explain this to me please... I have edited xorg.conf in each of the depth sections under "Display" and I have added modes: 1280x800, 1280x1024, 1280x960, 1152x864, 1024x768, 800x600, and 640x480 --- and when I restart X, and I try to change my screen resolution, ONLY 1280x800 and 1024x768 are available options. Can anyone tell me why?
[06:04] <rolfen> axos88: i think it has got something to do with licensing issues
[06:04] <nikin> jaguar: you should install video drivers, ... that will fix the problem.
[06:05] <axos88> huh?
[06:05] <nikin> !ati | jaguar
[06:05] <ubotu> jaguar: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:05] <dr_willis> axos88,  lets look it at this way.. I insstall XP  - and i have to go download the nvidia drivers also.
[06:05] <rolfen> axos88: the reason why nvidia and ati drivers are not included by default
[06:05] <axos88> what do ati and nvidia gain by this?
[06:05] <CapaH> "Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller" "Generic Monitor" Default Depth: 24 <-- if helpful
[06:05] <dr_willis> axos88,  go ask them.. come back if they give you a good answer.. :) they never have so far.
[06:05] <axos88> dr_willis: only difference: windows XP actually starts without them
[06:05] <rolfen> axos88: no idea...
[06:05] <axos88> :))
[06:05] <Newbie_Dude> I thought the NVIDIA drivers were automatically downloaded when you go to System > Preferences > Restricted Drivers?
[06:06] <dr_willis> axos88,  my sustem starts with the 'nvidia' drivers.. your system is not the norm.
[06:06] <nickrud> CapaH, iirc, installing 915resolution will fix that

[06:07] <CapaH> 915resolution...
[06:07] <CapaH> interesting -- thanks nickrud
[06:07] <cotyrothery> it connects through usb and it shares the internet
[06:07] <Newbie_Dude> dr_willis: I wish they'd also include a 56k modem driver for my Conexant, instead of having some company (Linuxant) that wants to charge me $15 for a driver !!!!
[06:07] <axos88> nikin: i don't think so... don't you just do aptitude install nvidia-drivers-package-with-some-wierd-name?
[06:07] <rafaelscj> I installed 915resolution...
[06:07] <rafaelscj> perfect
[06:07] <CapaH> On another matter, does *anyone* know why my battery suddenly lasts 5 minutes when unplugged on Ubuntu, but no such problems before I installed Ubuntu Feisty (from Edgy) ?
[06:08] <nikin> axos88: thats true for Linux users, but the windows dudes have to go to the webpage
[06:08] <axos88> yeah

[06:08] <Cy3berPeace> Hi guys - I can't get any sound out of my gateway with SigmaTel STAC9200...Tried the troubleshooting option @ help.ubuntu... any suggestions from anyone?
[06:09] <dr_willis> Newbie_Dude,  Modems? egads....
[06:09] <Newbie_Dude> dr_willis: I know, I live in the stone-age (still using 56k modem, third world country) but they don't have to charge $15 bucks for the driver. :P
[06:09] <nikin> axos88: people using Linux are a small minority, and if you just lokk at the desktop users... even more a minority... they dont realy care... and thats sometimes visible in the quality of the drivers
[06:10] <n0yd> Cy3berPeace, by chance is there a external amplifier switch in alsamixer?
[06:10] <dr_willis> Plus the companies only have limited amount of $$ for programers for the drivers....
[06:10] <axos88> But I do think linux is climbing up the ladder... it's true that it's a slow process, but I can feel it happening
[06:10] <axos88> don't you?
[06:10] <nickrud> dr_willis, useful for faxing, still ;)
[06:10] <Newbie_Dude> And with Vista being as hot as it is (lol) they got their best teams working on Vista drivers

[06:10] <_Lucretia_> hi, I just tried to play a vid through totem and it said I needed to install some codecs, fine. It bought up a list of 3 options, so I picked the ones that didn't say "no encryption" (the 0.10.2-0ubuntu4 version), got no sound though. Yes sound plays through the prefs fine
[06:10] <dr_willis> Newbie_Dude,  i think thats EXACTLY why the XiFi Drivers for linus are not out yet.
[06:11] <Newbie_Dude> Anyone know if I can do an apt-get on SDL? If so, what is the keyword?
[06:11] <nikin> dr_willis: making the drivers open source, doesnt cost a $ , but they dont do that.... its not about money, or if it is, then it is becouse of the agrement ith OS developres... not just MS but Apple also.
[06:11] <Newbie_Dude> !SDL
[06:11] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sdl - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:12] <axos88> nikin: they could also do something like... ooops we suddenly had a security breach, and we gave out all the specs for writing drivers for our boards :P
[06:13] <axos88> ok, ubuntu instal lfinished... fingers crossed....
[06:13] <Hyarion2> has anyone here used gtkpod with an external hard drive?
[06:13] <nikin> axos88: doing that every 6 months would be a litle bit..hmmm... lets say it ould look as strenge as a camel in the midel of NY in pink panties
[06:14] <axos88> :))
[06:14] <axos88> well yeah, but at least the boards until NOW would be supported...
[06:14] <r0b-> nixternal
[06:14] <nickrud> Newbie_Dude, libsdl1.2debian ; you'll probably want libsdl1.2debian-alsa as well. aptitude search sdl will give you ore options
[06:14] <axos88> ubuntu installer resembles debian installer... hmmm
[06:15] <Newbie_Dude> aptitude, never heard of it nickrud, but i'll figure it out :)
[06:15] <axos88> dammit... dead screen
[06:15] <dr_willis> nikin,  Unless they have other stuff licensed where they ant release the drivers.. However they COULD release the specs for the hardware for free.. (perhaps) thats almost as good.
[06:15] <davejs> hello
[06:15] <nikin> axos88: that isnt hat the companies want..,. they dont get money if you buy a 2 years old card now.. they want you to buy the newest stuff and the most expensive :D
[06:15] <nickrud> Newbie_Dude, a different package manager, that's all. a lot like synaptic, but text and more geeky
[06:15] <Jack_Sparrow> can I play m4a in Ubuntu or do I need to convert them first
[06:16] <axos88> nikin: yeah... let's face the facts :(
[06:16] <nikin> dr_willis: and almost as bad for the propertary OS developers... if there is such an agrement...
[06:16] <r0b-> is Ubuntu Server good for a Virtual Server?
[06:16] <Cy3berPeace> n0yd: Sorry - didn't catch your response (no beep ;) -- I do't see an ext amplifier
[06:16] <Newbie_Dude> @nickrud OK, I might need that then. Because I believe there are a lot of packages not showing up when I do synaptic search.
[06:16] <kevinl--> r0b: you mean is it good to make a virtual machine for microsoft virtual server?
[06:16] <kevinl--> or vmware?
[06:17] <axos88> ok, so I booted up my great new ubuntu in single user mode (GUI won't work)... how do I install the nvidia drivers?
[06:17] <n0yd> Cy3berPeace, ok.  Just checking, it usually all the way towards the right.  Not sure what your problem might be.
[06:17] <nikin> axos88: hy the gui wont work?
[06:17] <nikin> w
[06:17] <Cy3berPeace> n0yd: I've got something that say's "Off-hook" - with MM above it...
[06:18] <n0yd> No idea what that might be...
[06:18] <n0yd> MM is mute
[06:18] <axos88> nope
[06:18] <n0yd> of off
[06:18] <_Lucretia_> flash worked, but now it doesn't after a reboot (amd64)
[06:18] <n0yd> you can try toggling it
[06:18] <erizzle> what package provides the X dev headers? I am trying to compile the latest fluxbox
[06:18] <axos88> screen-turns-off thing
[06:18] <erizzle> TIA
[06:18] <bronze-> How do I run (via terminal) an executable textfile?
[06:18] <Cy3berPeace> n0yd: I can't seem to - what keys would I use - arrow keys, right?
[06:19] <axos88> bronze-: ./myscript.sh
[06:19] <nikin> axos88: did you try to reconfigure the xserver to use vesa drivers and a lower resolution for that time?
[06:19] <erizzle> bronze-: ./textfile ?

[06:19] <Newbie_Dude> nickrud : I think I found them... in the Synaptic Package Manager
[06:19] <axos88> nikin: not yet
[06:19] <axos88> lemme try that
[06:20] <n0yd> cyberphaz, hit "M"
[06:20] <n0yd> err
[06:20] <n0yd> Cy3berPeace, ^^^^^^^^
[06:20] <toocrazy-pt> hi
[06:20] <nickrud> Newbie_Dude, figured you could. Like I said, synaptic and aptitude are verrry similar
[06:21] <toocrazy-pt> I have some problems with my ethernet card, someone can help ??
[06:21] <nickrud> Newbie_Dude, I keep forgetting about a lot of the newer graphical tools. Gotta remember to mention them
[06:21] <Cy3berPeace> n0yd: Got it - I should have to restart or anything to take effct, no?
[06:21] <n0yd> no
[06:21] <erizzle> has anyone compiled fluxbox from source?? could anyone enlighten me to the package name for the X headers?
[06:21] <Newbie_Dude> @nickrud : is that "Synaptic Package Manger" the same as Aptitude? It definitely seemed more "texty and geeky" :)
[06:21] <Manowarrr> how to forward 29900 port to <IP_ADDRESS> , a little help with iptables please ?
[06:21] <n0yd> You never need to restart Linux, except to change kernels.
[06:22] <xfuser> Hey
[06:22] <n0yd> Even when ubuntus little update alert thing tells you restart, usually its wrong in telling you to do so.
[06:22] <nickrud> Newbie_Dude, not the same, but a lot of the backend code from aptitude seemed to have made it into synaptic. In earlier incarnations, it even used a lot of the same terminology.
[06:22] <Newbie_Dude> I don't get it, why don't these developers (like the ZSNES developer) just give us an already-compiled version? Why we gotta go searching for 20 different components to compile it. >_<
[06:22] <xfuser> I use a lenovo 3000 N100 laptop and I unable to get a 1280x1028 resolution
[06:22] <toocrazy-pt> may I give some more info??
[06:22] <stefg> erizzle: why not just sudo apt-get build-dep fluxbox (and let apt sort it out)
[06:23] <xfuser> I don`t know the exact refresh rates.. thats what the problem
[06:23] <erizzle> stefg: I'll give it a shot, thx
[06:23] <Newbie_Dude> !anyone | toocrazy-pt
[06:23] <ubotu> toocrazy-pt: 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?
[06:23] <rafaelscj> How do I to install Texas Instruments Card Reader' driver?
[06:23] <BadRobot> Hi there could anyone give me some help to recover a broken system?
[06:23] <toocrazy-pt> the last time I update the kernel, the eth0 (Intel PRO/100 VE) have gone
[06:23] <dr_willis> rafaelscj,  built into a laptop? a 15 in one media reader?
[06:24] <Newbie_Dude> !postgresql
[06:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about postgresql - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:24] <illriginal> how do you kill all firefox?
[06:24] <toocrazy-pt> when I try to click on the NetworkManager, i get No SIOCGIFFLAGS: no such device
[06:24] <erizzle> stefg: now will that work considering ubuntu ver of flux is like 0.95 and I'm trying to compile 1.0rc3?
[06:24] <rafaelscj> dr_willis: Acer travelmate laptop
[06:24] <toocrazy-pt> but with lspci, i get the card
[06:24] <Hreno> hello, I really need help; I've installed nvidia drivers via envy and I still can't get higher resolution than 1024*786 and 75Hz, which is killing my eyes
[06:24] <nickrud> Newbie_Dude, another useful trick: find zsnes package in ubuntu, and install it :)  or, if you still want to build it, try apt-get build-dep <package>
[06:24] <nikin> axos88: :D:D its better that way not?
[06:25] <xfuser> shall I post my xorg.conf file ?
[06:25] <BadRobot> I am having problems with GRUB and HDD .I am getting GRUB ERROR 17 after the install of Ubuntu Feisty
[06:25] <axos88> with X? welll.. umm yeah :D
[06:25] <illriginal> how do you kill all firefox?
[06:25] <toocrazy-pt> I already check the foruns but no solutions
[06:25] <dr_willis> rafaelscj,  ive had very little luck gettting some of those going. From what last i noticed SOME of the media slots work..but not all of them
[06:25] <Pici> illriginal: killall firefox-bin
[06:25] <Cy3berPeace> n0yd: Yeah, I  figured...No love on the Off-hook thing...  Anyone out there have experience with the STAC9000 soundcard - can't get any sound out of it...
[06:25] <illriginal> thank you pici
[06:25] <mariocesar_bo> hello, i just enable two displays on ubuntu, now i can't get compiz-fussion to start ... i get this error: /usr/bin/compiz.real (core) - Fatal: No RandR extension
[06:25] <axos88> now... lemme install the 2.6.21 kernel so that I will have networking :P
[06:25] <erUSUL> illriginal: killall -9 firefox-bin
[06:25] <BadRobot> You are better off using Opera or Iceweasel
[06:25] <dr_willis> rafaelscj,  the drivers were included in the kernel. i didenthave to do anything to get my SD cards working.
[06:25] <Newbie_Dude> @nickrud : I checked the Synaptic for "ZSNES" and it wasn't there -- is there another place to look besides in the GUI Synaptic "Add/Remove?"
[06:25] <dr_willis> !find zsnes
[06:26] <stefg> erizzle: it will puill all the *-dev packs that fluxbox needs. if you run into lib-version problems then i'd recommend not building it. But that's not likely on such a compact thing
[06:26] <ubotu> Found: zsnes
[06:26] <nickrud> Newbie_Dude, try control-f in synaptic, and search there
[06:26] <erUSUL> dr_willis: multiverse
[06:26] <Newbie_Dude> dr_willis: I've been tracking down the different components so I can compile ZSNES for the past like 4 hours.
[06:26] <rafaelscj> dr_willis, What?
[06:26] <MajorPayne> BadRobot: Iceweasel is firefox re-branded.
[06:26] <illriginal> It says no processes killed...
[06:26] <illriginal> nevermind
[06:26] <illriginal> im gonna restart
[06:26] <nickrud> Newbie_Dude, ah. Try System->Admin->Synaptics
[06:27] <n0yd> Cy3berPeace, just curious, type this into a shell/terminal "cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp" and make sure your speakers are on, and up (but not to much)
[06:27] <Cy3berPeace> n0yd: Device or resource busy
[06:27] <Newbie_Dude> @nickrud : holy crap, it's there... So, Synaptics in Admin Menu is better than Add/Remove !!! WOOOOOOOO
[06:27] <n0yd> hmm
[06:28] <Hreno> is there any program to set resolution except built-in?
[06:28] <CapaH> Hreno: I am suffering with the same dilemna
[06:28] <n0yd> that doesn't make much sense...
[06:28] <artabrahao> Hi, how can I see/change the date/time?
[06:28] <rafaelscj> dr_willis, I knew that the module is included but modprobe don't find it
[06:28] <CapaH> I installed 915resolution and it didn't fix a thing
[06:28] <stefg> Newbie_Dude: so you earned your first l33t points on linux :-)
[06:28] <nickrud> Newbie_Dude, add/remove isn't synaptics, :)
[06:28] <Cy3berPeace> n0yd: What should it say/do when you type that?
[06:28] <n0yd> Cy3berPeace, In this case, go ahead and just reboot.  Come back and try it again. :)
[06:28] <Newbie_Dude> @nickrud, dr_willis: Thanks so much guys. I was literally trying all day to compile. I thought I had to go into add/remove for everything
[06:28] <nickrud> CapaH, did you read the docs I pointed you at?
[06:28] <n0yd> Cy3berPeace, put static through the speakers
[06:29] <sq89> hi! I want to use both my laptop monitor and a 20" lcd one with my intel 950 graphics card. I'm configuring xorg.conf now, but I have no clue about what the different MonitorLayout settings mean. any idea?
[06:29] <CapaH> nickrud: Yes, and I still have the same choices I had before --- also, curiously, when I do: 915resolution -l --- it *does* list the modes I want to use, but when I try to use those modes, it just does nothing
[06:29] <Newbie_Dude> So, it seems a good part about Ubuntu is that if I want any of the programs I can get it all through Synaptic Package Manager, I don't have to go trekking through the internet and compiling things ??
[06:29] <cyberphaz> most distros have a manager like that
[06:29] <n0yd> Cy3berPeace, It sonds like a process is choking your sound card
[06:29] <cyberphaz> but yes
[06:29] <CapaH> sq89: You are in for a *WORLD* of frustration, I feel bad for ya :)
[06:29] <PriceChild> Newbie_Dude, yes
[06:29] <CapaH> sq89: But yes it is possible :)
[06:29] <stefg> !X
[06:29] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[06:30] <nickrud> CapaH, when we first talked about this, rafaelscj mentioned he'd used 915res successfully
[06:30] <sq89> CapaH: thanks :-)
[06:30] <CapaH> I think rafaelscj is not here unfortunately
[06:30] <rafaelscj> hello
[06:30] <CapaH> then again
[06:30] <Newbie_Dude> I hope Ubuntu never dies or goes out of development, I'm really enjoying all of this. >_<
[06:30] <CapaH> rafaelscj: Help!! :) --- how do I get 915resolution to work? I do 915resolution -l --- and it lists the modes I want, but when I edit that one etc file with the mode/res --- and I restart X, its just as though I did nothing.. ideas?
[06:31] <rafaelscj> I am using 915resolution here
[06:31] <axos88> Could someone please guide me through setting up network? Installer couldn't do it because kernel 2.6.20 didn't have the drivers, I just installed 2.6.21
[06:31] <PriceChild> axos88, 2.6.21 is not supported here.
[06:31] <sq89> CapaH: have you tried restarting the pc? it seems 915resolution loads into the kernel or something
[06:31] <rafaelscj> CapaH, Do you have a Intel card?
[06:31] <sq89> CapaH: I've used 915resolution with success too, until I wanted to use two monitors...
[06:31] <PriceChild> axos88, custom kernels are not supported here. They cause a multitude of problems if you don't know what you're doing when compiling, and can be hard to track down.
[06:31] <stefg> axos88: what kind of network? wired or wlan? and where did you get the 2.6.21 kernel?
[06:32] <axos88> both
[06:32] <axos88> stefg: from the debian repository
[06:32] <PriceChild> axos88, debian is not ubuntu....
[06:32] <stefg> axos88: very bad idea
[06:32] <PriceChild> axos88, don't use debian packages on ubuntu and expect support.
[06:32] <CapaH> well, I am *trying* to use 915resolution, I have it installed, I followed the instructions, I edited xorg.conf making sure that i810 and the proper modes are there --- and I restarted xwin and nothing new happened. ideas?
[06:32] <axos88> the kernel is the same
[06:32] <K7> http://s10.bitefight.it/c.php?uid=31458
[06:32] <K7> thanks
[06:32] <Fe2Cl3> Hello! I have an ubuntu server that have an ntfs partition configured in fstab to use ntfs-3g with utf8 as its encoding. when ubuntu starts and mounts the drive i can't see the non-english files (they are just not there when I ls), but after I umount the drive and do mount -a all the encodings work fine. It seems that when it boots it mounts not by my fstab. What should I do?
[06:33] <CapaH> when I go to the screen resolution option under preferences, it lists only two: 1280x800 and 1024x768 --- it does not list the modes I actually support
[06:33] <sq89> CapaH: try doing a hard reboot
[06:33] <CapaH> sq89: I did shutdown -r now
[06:33] <axos88> kernel is kernel.. kernel is not debian kernel, or not ubuntu kernel
[06:33] <PriceChild> axos88, if its not ubuntu... then we don't support it here.
[06:33] <nikin> i have found a nice and fat installer bug :D in 6.06 :D
[06:33] <rafaelscj> CapaH, I installed and Restarted...
[06:33] <nickrud> axos88, options, patches, etc. initramfs, the list is nearly endless
[06:33] <CapaH> I do lsmod -- and I see it there
[06:33] <erUSUL> axos88: well the ubuntu kernel is heavily patched with respect to vanilla
[06:34] <MrXorg> I'm trying to set a mountpoint for my localhost and it says localhost is not in /etc/fstab
[06:34] <MrXorg> Any help?
[06:34] <CapaH> drm i915 <-- both there
[06:34] <CapaH> is there something else that should be visible in lsmod ?
[06:34] <stefg> axos88: it's not.... so first step would be identifying your hardware. lshw or lspci would show what you got. If your running kernel doesn't have the drivers, you're on your own, unless you go back to the ubuntu-kernel
[06:34] <artabrahao> Hi, how can I see/change the date/time?
[06:34] <artabrahao> Hi, how can I see/change the date/time?
[06:34] <Fe2Cl3> help would be highly appriciated guys :)
[06:34] <nickrud> MrXorg, localhost is a networking term, meaning your machine. it's not something to mount
[06:35] <MrXorg> So how would I mount my ip?
[06:35] <axos88> stefg: atl1 driver is what I need
[06:35] <CapaH> when I do this: /etc/init.d/915resolution start -- I get: "Patch mode 50 to resolution 640x480 complete" --- but nothing actually changes on my screen.. ?
[06:35] <axos88> stefg: that
[06:35] <Newbie_Dude> @artabrahao : It should be in the upper-right hand corner of the screen. If you see it there, right-click on it and click "Adjust Date & Time"
[06:35] <axos88> stefg: that's why I installed this kernel, i knew that I needed this one
[06:35] <SunmanXII> hey guys - I have a problem - I have an ethernet based Brother 5250DN printer attached to my wireless router. How can I set it up so I can print to it from my Ubuntu computer?
[06:35] <PriceChild> axos88, This is _very_ clear. We do NOT support kernels outside of the ubuntu repositories. You are on your own unless you decide to switch back. (stefg)
[06:35] <rafaelscj> CapaH, There is a module in lsmod : i915
[06:36] <PriceChild> axos88, anything could have broken.
[06:36] <nickrud> MrXorg, take a look at /etc/hosts , it should be listed there.  I didn't ask for YOU to help.
[06:36] <SunmanXII> apparently its supposed to work on feisty but I dont know how to set it up
 I'm not using the x
[06:36] <CapaH> rafaelscj: I see i915 in lsmod
[06:36] <nickrud> MrXorg, ubuntu nearly doesn't work when localhost isn't already defined; it's so fundamental to nearly everything
[06:36] <axos88> PriceChild:  thank you.
[06:36] <CapaH> rafaelscj: I have my driver in xorg.conf set to: i810 --- is this correct?
[06:36] <MrXorg> nickrud: I'm trying to network both of my ubuntu computers to share files between them
[06:37] <mhz`> ugh
[06:37] <mhz`> its too earlier
[06:37] <axos88> Can anyone tell me if there is any utility to configure the network, or do I have to edit the /etc/network/interfaces file manually?
[06:37] <mhz`> early
[06:37] <Journeyman> I installed beryl and it only works when I run beryl-manager as root
[06:37] <mhz`> axos, install network manager
[06:37] <Journeyman> how can I get it to work as just a user?
[06:37] <stefg> axos88: gimme a link on the info source that told you you need 2.6.21. And don't yell at the seniors, might be bad for your reputation
[06:38] <MrXorg> axos88: sudo gedit /etc/netowrk/interfaces
[06:38] <mhz`> http://www.gnome.org/projects/NetworkManager/
[06:38] <rafaelscj> CapaH, Yes i810
[06:38] <mhz`> its a package..search for it in synaptics
[06:38] <nickrud> MrXorg, ah. Different question. I'm no expert on networking.
[06:38] <Newbie_Dude> Why do you guys use Ubuntu and not Kubuntu or Pubuntu, or whatever the other ones are?
[06:38] <nickrud> gnome
[06:38] <mhz`> newbie0034, kubuntu = ubuntu running w/ kde
[06:38] <PriceChild> Newbie_Dude, personal preference, choose what works for you.
[06:38] <MajorPayne> Newbie_Dude: KDE sucks.
[06:39] <mhz`> ubuntu = ubuntu w/ gnome
