The only thing it doesn't have is 100% compatability with iPods.
[12:01] <toNt> klxinfo = glxinfo
[12:01] <dark-nite> lol
[12:01] <Anohaakten> PirateHead, ahh ok cool
[12:02] <mentaluproar> broadcom chipset, right?  dang
[12:02] <cafuego_> toNt: Enable the nvidia driver, as well as installing it.
[12:02] <Flannel> mentaluproar: then no, you don't have LVM.  Just install gparted, then you'll be able to take a gander
[12:02] <Jowi> toNt, "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep -i driver" what do you get appart from kbd and mouse?
[12:02] <dimeotane> anyone know how to set, firefox to open skype?  I think i need to set mime types ?
[12:02] <mentaluproar> one moment
[12:02] <dark-nite> :(
[12:02] <eck> Anohaakten: tbh, if i had windows/os x and an ipod, I would just keep that around for the time being just to use itunes
[12:02] <Anohaakten> PirateHead can I get Amarok right in synaptic? or do I have to go find a .deb somewhere
[12:03] <Jowi> dark-nite, did you have a look at the wiki already?
[12:03] <Anohaakten> yeah
[12:03] <dark-nite> ubuntu needs to make a nice GUI to connect through wireless devices!!! grrrrr!
[12:03] <Anohaakten> I am dual booting vista eck
[12:03] <dimeotane> dark-nite: what  wifi do you have?
[12:03] <jrib> dimeotane: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Register_protocol possibly?
[12:03] <Anohaakten> so I can just keep that itunes on that
[12:03] <dark-nite> Jowi,  yeah i did
[12:03] <dimeotane> thx jrib
[12:03] <toNt> Jowi: i get some wacom drivers and an "nv" driver.should i change that to "nvidia"?
[12:03] <dark-nite> im having trouble :(
[12:03] <cafuego_> dark-nite: Um, nm-applet *is* a nice gui to connect wireless networks.
[12:03] <jrib> dimeotane: heh even better: http://share.skype.com/sites/linux/2006/08/making_skype_links_work.html
[12:03] <Jowi> dark-nite, it do. it is called "network-manager-gnome". install it.
[12:04] <toNt> is anyone else having trouble getting on ubuntuguide.org?
[12:04] <dimeotane> dark-nite: type in lspci into your terminal... what's your network controller?
[12:04] <mentaluproar> ok, add/remove doesn't pull up gparted
[12:04] <mentaluproar> help
[12:04] <dark-nite> Jowi, how can i install if i can't connnect to the internet? lol
[12:04] <Jowi> toNt, nv is the standard nvidia drivers. as cafuego said, you need to enable it.
[12:04] <dimeotane> for me it says broadcom 4311
[12:04] <stiv2k> help i am getting an "Operation not supported" ioctl when testing my wpa_supplicant configuration and i just cant seem to connect using hostap driver on a linksys pci card
[12:04] <Jowi> dark-nite, it's on the cd
[12:04] <Jowi> !info network-manager-gnome
[12:04] <ubotu> network-manager-gnome: network management framework (GNOME frontend). In component main, is optional. Version 0.6.3-2ubuntu6 (edgy), package size 245 kB, installed size 1608 kB
[12:04] <dimeotane> dark-nite.. you can also plug into your ethernet
[12:04] <toNt> ill try to google on how to do that but i might be back :)
[12:04] <toNt> thank you
[12:05] <Jowi> dark-nite, you don't need internet to connect it. pop in the cd
[12:05] <dark-nite> dimeo, i would but i dont have a ethernet wire long enough. :P
[12:05] <PirateHead> dark-note: do you have WinXP drivers for your card?
[12:05] <PirateHead> dark-nite: you may be able to use ndiswrapper to get a win driver working
[12:06] <dark-nite> pirate, i dont no how to install ndiswrapper
[12:06] <Flannel> dark-nite: Put the CD in the drive, use "apt-cdrom" to add it to your repository, then you can install ndiswrapper off the CD
[12:06] <mentaluproar> I cant find gparted
[12:07] <PirateHead> darn-nite: intalling ndiswrapper takes only 1 command
[12:07] <dark-nite> apt-cdrom?
[12:07] <Flannel> dark-nite: yeah, apt-cdrom.  It adds CDroms to your repository list
[12:07] <alberto> Hi, I am using kubuntu edgy in a Toshiba satellite with latest nvidia drivers from site, but...
[12:07] <caffinated> Jowi: that worked - setting the framebuffer to the same resolution/color depth.  it's interesting that disabling the framebuffer didn't work though.
[12:07] <stiv2k> help i am getting an "Operation not supported" ioctl when testing my wpa_supplicant configuration and i just cant seem to connect using hostap driver on a linksys pci card
[12:07] <Flannel> mentaluproar: where are you looking?  Synaptic?
[12:07] <stiv2k> it times out trying to get a DHCP ip address
[12:07] <dark-nite> on the cd ndiswrapper is in another folder though
[12:07] <caffinated> Jowi: probably some ATI quirkiness
[12:07] <mentaluproar> I tried add/remove programs
[12:08] <Flannel> dark-nite: It's in a repository, yes.
[12:08] <PirateHead> why apt-cdrom?
[12:08] <Jowi> caffinated, yeah, depends on which video card you have. back in the old days all cards had proper vesa modes. nowadays it's guesswork.
[12:08] <PirateHead> do you have ndiswrapper on a CD?
[12:08] <Flannel> PirateHead: because he needs to add the CD to his repository
[12:08] <Flannel> PirateHead: both Desktop, and Alternate CDs have it on them
[12:08] <dark-nite> i downloaded ndiswrapper on another computer (win xp) and burnt in on a cd
[12:08] <toNt> im reading on how to install the nvidia drivers, but it says to do this, sudo nvidia-glx-config-enable , but i get "nvidia-glx-config-enable" command not found. is this a typo or something?
[12:08] <Jowi> caffinated, that's why the framebuffer is used in replacement for the oldschool vesa modes.
[12:08] <PirateHead> Flannel: that's cool.
[12:08] <Flannel> dark-nite: that's silly.  Use your Ubuntu CD
[12:08] <mentaluproar> found in synaptic
[12:09] <caffinated> Jowi: Never had the issue with nVidia cards.  But I've noticed some posts specificly relating to newer ATI video hardware and some issues.  I imagine it'll stablize in time.
[12:09] <alberto> Hi, I am using kubuntu edgy in a Toshiba satellite with latest nvidia drivers from site, but... When I tried to launch glxgear I hasnt direct rendering, I looked in a log from xorg and saw that there was a problem between composite and glx module so I disabled composite and then glx is loaded and direct rendering but is VERY slow, like without it, I can see this too in the var/log/Xorg.0 : (II)NVIDIA: 3D ACCELERATION ARCHITECGTURE
[12:09] <dark-nite> i didn't no i was on my unbuntu cd
[12:09] <mentaluproar> I'm going to get a hub to I can wire everything together
[12:09] <alberto> Is known this problem:? PLEASE

[12:09] <dark-nite> ok so i put my unbuntu cd in the drive. then what do i need to do?

[12:09] <Flannel> dark-nite: open a terminal, (accessories > terminal)  "sudo apt-cdrom add"

[12:09] <Jowi> dark-nite, sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome
[12:10] <cheeseboy> how do ifix it?

[12:11] <thoreauputic> theherbalizer: try the pmount command
[12:11] <IndyGunFreak> PirateHead: perhaps you should dial 911.. :)
[12:11] <PirateHead> dark-nite: not that I know of
[12:11] <dark-nite> how do i use it? lol
[12:11] <cheeseboy> stuff isnt going to my taskbar
[12:11] <PirateHead> IndyGunFreak: maybe cheeseboy should?

[12:11] <cheeseboy> it just disappears
[12:11] <PirateHead> dark-nite: you look at the documentation
[12:11] <Jowi> AngryElf, put the apps in a bash script and create a launcher for it.
[12:11] <IndyGunFreak> PirateHead: probalby a good suggestion.
[12:11] <theherbalizer> thoreauputic: oh, so i dont need to sudo it?
[12:11] <thoreauputic> theherbalizer:  tail -f /var/log/syslog or dmesg| tail to see the device name ( /dev/sda1 or whatever)

[12:12] <IndyGunFreak> cheeseboy: give an example of what is not going to your taskbar
[12:12] <cheeseboy> itsblank
[12:12] <Flannel> dark-nite: I've never used it.  I imagine that page has a good rundown of it though
[12:12] <cheeseboy> i minimize somtin it just disapears
[12:12] <thoreauputic> theherbalizer: pmount lets you mount usb as a user - pumount to unmount
[12:12] <theherbalizer> thoreauputic: and how do i get device name?
[12:12] <dark-nite> ok thanks a lot. i will be back soon. thank you everyone

[12:14] <aos> kk
[12:14] <spinster> hello i am running linux ubuntu and can i download some program to i use MSN hotmail ther e?a

[12:14] <Noah0504> Hello all!
[12:14] <aos> but i have in almoat all devices unknow walue
[12:14] <thoreauputic> aos: generally in Linux you don't need to install drivers - either the system recognises your hardware, or it doesn't :)
[12:14] <mentaluproar> brb
[12:14] <PirateHead> spinster: do you want to use POP-4 to use hotmail, or a browser?
[12:14] <PriceChild> I can't connect to my website (pricechild.co.uk) I have been next door to a computer on the same network and they can connect to it there. My computer can connect to everything else just fine. Any ideas?
[12:14] <theherbalizer> thoreauputic: dmesg | tail  returns    [17196681.552000]  Buffer I/O error on device sdb1, logical block 121819
[12:14] <cheeseboy> now i accidentally deleted my task bar
[12:14] <PirateHead> PriceChild: could it be a firewall problem?
[12:14] <Balsamic_Chicken> did u block that one site?
[12:15] <txos> Has anyone had any trouble starting a gnome session over ssh?
[12:15] <Jowi> PriceChild, add your domain to the host file
[12:15] <cheeseboy> how do i get it back?
[12:15] <Wansworld-dot-ne> the "Menu Layout" applet under Administation is not allowing me to check boxes and update the menus
[12:15] <theherbalizer> thoreauputic: i have a feeling it's not supposed to do that.
[12:15] <Noah0504> PriceChild: Or maybe a DNS problem?
[12:15] <thoreauputic> theherbalizer: I/O errors are usually bad news
[12:15] <spinster> PirateHead: i want some website or some program to i install on my ubuntu to i can login MSN messenger on my ubuntu can you help me ?
[12:15] <Jowi> PriceChild, /etc/hosts
[12:15] <IndyGunFreak> cheeseboy: how did you manage that?
[12:15] <Wansworld-dot-ne> I am missing many menu items because of this
[12:15] <PriceChild> my /etc/hosts is fine though....
[12:15] <ardchoille> cheeseboy: right click the other panel and choose New Panel
[12:15] <cheeseboy> ?
[12:15] <PriceChild> Other computers on the same network can access it fine...
[12:15] <thoreauputic> theherbalizer: but looks like it's /dev/sdb1 anyway
[12:15] <PirateHead> Wansworld-dot-ne: that's because the Menu Layout applet sucks. You must close the menu layout, reboot, and then your menu will be updated, items added, etc.
[12:15] <Jowi> PriceChild, example: <IP_ADDRESS> localhost mydomain.com mail.mydomain.com
[12:15] <cheeseboy> where
[12:15] <cheeseboy> ?
[12:15] <PriceChild> Jowi, I know... but I shouldn't need this
[12:15] <spinster> PirateHead: i want some website or some program to i install on my ubuntu to i can login MSN messenger on my ubuntu can you help me ?
[12:15] <PriceChild> It was fine a couple of days ago
[12:15] <IndyGunFreak> ardchoille: but what if he only has 1 panel?  i myself only run one panel also.
[12:15] <PirateHead> spinster: do you have the latest version of Ubuntu?

[12:16] <Narsil> tarnold: say something
[12:16] <mark0> mark8 here... error "couldn't find package"
[12:16] <thoreauputic> theherbalizer: try   pmount /dev/sdb1 and see if it shows up in /media
[12:16] <Wansworld-dot-ne> That is incorrect.  I have done this and that does not solve the problem.
[12:16] <IndyGunFreak> cheeseboy:  so youdon't have any panel now?..
[12:16] <PirateHead> spinster: There should be a program called Gaim in Applications --> Internet
[12:16] <ardchoille> IndyGunFreak cheeseboy The last panel will have Delete This Panel greyed out, you shouldn't be able to delete the last panel.
[12:16] <Narsil> hey i need some help with an mtp player

[12:19] <IndyGunFreak> ardchoille: could be, i don't know.

[12:20] <mark0> right
[12:20] <Wansworld-dot-ne> There are a series of checkboxes in the alacarte menu editor that do not switch state when clicked on.  There are SOME that work, but I cannot get some important one to change.
[12:20] <mark0> so should it be on the CD?

[12:20] <Narsil> I'm new here, but I need to use a media player in Edgy. When I plug it in it does not show up or anything.
[12:20] <Jowi> mark0, yes
[12:20] <cheeseboy> anyone willing to give me indivdual help?
[12:20] <bruenig> Amaranth, how come alacarte doesn't require root privileges, does it not use the files in /usr/share/applications or what
[12:20] <jrib> Marc1: are you running whatever you are doing in X?
[12:21] <PirateHead> Amaranth: I understand the "Where's the bug report? Where's the patch?" mentality.
[12:21] <Jowi> toNt, I don't know the correct procedure for the nvidia drivers I'm afraid.
[12:21] <mark0> I think I meesed up the source list  then :(
[12:21] <Amaranth> Wansworld-dot-ne: What one? You can't make a menu visible if it's empty (or all of it's children are invisible)
[12:21] <toNt> Jowi: well thank you anyways :)
[12:21] <Balsamic_Chicken> anyone play oblivion? got a question here lol
[12:21] <Wansworld-dot-ne> Explain what you mean by empty
[12:21] <Amaranth> PirateHead: You're saying my work is crap but haven't done anything to help make it better, what do you expect?
[12:21] <toNt> anyone here have experience trying to install an nvidia card?
[12:21] <thoreauputic> PirateHead: well, he has a point - if something doesn't work for you, go to launchpad and file a bug
[12:21] <wiseelben> hi, for some reason, I get a "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" error everytime I try to use apt-get or aptitude, any ideas why?
[12:21] <theherbalizer> thoreauputic: looks like it worked, thanks man!
[12:21] <Amaranth> bruenig: It writes the changed files to ~/.local/share/applications
[12:21] <thoreauputic> theherbalizer: np :)
[12:21] <mark0> I'm connecting to it using putty
[12:21] <theherbalizer> Balsamic_Chicken: yeah, i do. i won't work on wine, though.
[12:21] <Amaranth> bruenig: they override the system versions
[12:22] <bruenig> Amaranth, figured it was something like that, but couldn't find the directory
[12:22] <toNt> having alittle trying getting the xorg.conf setup for it and was wondering if anyone could help?
[12:22] <mentaluproar3> okay, gparted is installed
[12:22] <Balsamic_Chicken> theherbalizer yay finally someone that plays, my question is about the game hehe
[12:22] <mentaluproar3> windows is on dev/hda5
[12:22] <ardchoille> Amaranth: You're the alacarte dev?
[12:22] <mentaluproar3> there is an exclamation point next to it
[12:22] <PirateHead> Amaranth: I just felt silly reporting a bug that reads "When I hit New Item and fill out all the info and hit OK, it does not create a new item."
[12:22] <Balsamic_Chicken> theherbalizer how do i pick up a journal instead of reading it
[12:22] <mentaluproar3> how do I boot?
[12:22] <Wansworld-dot-ne> I currenlt have 8 choices under Admin, missing are Login window, Networking, Services, Shared foldersm Software sourcesm Synaptic.... and more.
[12:22] <thoreauputic> !msg
[12:22] <ubotu> Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first.
[12:22] <Amaranth> Wansworld-dot-ne: If the menu doesn't have any items in it you can't make it visible
[12:22] <theherbalizer> Balsamic_Chicken: when you read it, there's a "done" and a "take" option. choose "take"
[12:22] <Amaranth> PirateHead: No output in a terminal?
[12:22] <mentaluproar3> I added the boot flag to the ntfs partition
[12:22] <stiv2k> help i am getting an "Operation not supported" ioctl when testing my wpa_supplicant configuration and i just cant seem to connect using hostap driver on a linksys pci card, it just times out trying to get a DHCP lease
[12:22] <eltopo> hello
[12:23] <Marc1> im trying to install it on a remote machine
[12:23] <Wansworld-dot-ne> There are all vivible in the editor
[12:23] <eltopo> that's a secret
[12:23] <PirateHead> Amaranth: no output at all. It accepts the info, goes back to the main screen, and adds nothing to any toolbars.
[12:23] <Amaranth> Wansworld-dot-ne: Are they checked?
[12:23] <Balsamic_Chicken> theherbalizer ahhh, yay thanks so much, i've been trying to telekensis it lol =)
[12:23] <Narsil> Does anyone know why a creative brand media player would not work in Ubuntu?
[12:23] <crdlb> Narsil, most creatives use MTP now
[12:23] <Wansworld-dot-ne> No they are not. And that is the problem,  I cant check them, it wont change state when clicked on
[12:23] <Balsamic_Chicken> theherbalizer thanks very much =) now i can finish the grey prince quest
[12:23] <ardchoille> Amaranth: Wel, I for one feel that alacarte is awesome.. I've never had a problem with it.
[12:23] <theherbalizer> Balsamic_Chicken: np
[12:23] <mark0> can anyone point me to the default source path for CD please
[12:24] <Amaranth> PirateHead: attaching a tarred copy of ~/.local/share/applications ~/.local/share/desktop-directories and ~/.config/menus to a bug would help
[12:24] <theherbalizer> Balsamic_Chicken: telekinesis it out the door? O_o
[12:24] <Amaranth> PirateHead: If you'd filed a bug I would have been able to tell you this
[12:24] <Narsil> crdlb: is there anything I can do to fix that?
[12:24] <PirateHead> Amaranth: I have the same problem as Wansworld there. I can't check or uncheck any of the visibility toggles.
[12:24] <Amaranth> PirateHead: Never assume I can't debug a problem just because you can't. :)
[12:24] <crdlb> Narsil, there is a libmtp that provides support
[12:24] <Balsamic_Chicken> theherbalizer haha yeah, i was thinking maybe i telekenisis it all the way back to where it needs to be, but that doesn't really work lol
[12:24] <Wansworld-dot-ne> At least I know I am not alone!
[12:24] <Jowi> mark0, did you have a look here? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:24] <PirateHead> Amaranth: you use Launchpad as your primary bug tracker?
[12:24] <Amaranth> PirateHead: I know how the software works, I can see what it is doing wrong
[12:24] <Marc1> jrib:^
[12:24] <Jowi> mark0, sorry that was not for you
[12:25] <mark0> thanks jowi - will look now...
[12:25] <Amaranth> PirateHead: GNOME bugzilla
[12:25] <stiv2k> how do i mount a USB drive in ubuntu on the command line, where would it show up once it's plugged in
[12:25] <Balsamic_Chicken> theherbalizer thanks alot =)
[12:25] <mark0> oh :(
[12:25] <Narsil> crdlb: a what now?
[12:25] <holycow> oh heh, pressing ctrl / h on the desktop shows hidden files
[12:25] <Echonc> help! having trouble with rt2570 build. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9327/
[12:25] <holycow> nice
[12:25] <Jowi> toNt, , did you have a look here? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:25] <Amaranth> Wansworld-dot-ne: You need to put my name in front of things you say to me, otherwise they get lost
[12:25] <Wansworld-dot-ne>  How
[12:25] <toNt> no but i will now
[12:25] <Amaranth> holycow: It's just a nautilus window :)
[12:25] <toNt> hehe
[12:25] <crdlb> Narsil, http://libmtp.sf.net
[12:25] <Wansworld-dot-ne> Just type it?
[12:25] <PirateHead> Amaranth: I hoped so. I will try to get some bug reports to you -- it is a part of GNOME, after all.
[12:25] <jrib> Marc1: I see.. you're trying to install crossover-office but i says you need X?
[12:25] <holycow> Amaranth, appearently!
[12:25] <Amaranth> Wansworld-dot-ne: Type my name
[12:25] <Jowi> mark0, just ad it with "apt-cdrom"
[12:26] <brady> what is the name of the program which can make deb/rpm/tgz packages? something like installcheck.
[12:26] <Wansworld-dot-ne> Amaranth: Yes?
[12:26] <firepol> hi there, I'd like to have some feedback from you before reporting an ubuntu bug: can you switch user? If I switch user, then I do "terminate session" my system hangs
[12:26] <crdlb> Narsil, various media players such as banshee should be able to use it
[12:26] <firepol> may be im using compiz?
[12:26] <bruenig> brady, checkinstall can make debs from source
[12:26] <Wansworld-dot-ne> my name
[12:26] <Amaranth> PirateHead: Please do, we can get things fixed that way :)
[12:26] <mark0> thanks very much jowi
[12:26] <PirateHead> Amaranth: I was just really pissed that such an intergral part of GNOME didn't work at all as exptected. It doens't look buggy -- it looks broken, like a pre-alpha project or something.
[12:26] <slim_wrk> how to get freenx server to work with nxclient on dapper? im having a terrible time with the key. any one i can ask?
[12:26] <brady> bruenig: ah, yes. that is what i wanted.
[12:26] <Narsil> crdlb: i've tried a bunch of different ones but none of them work with it
[12:26] <stiv2k> how do i mount a USB drive in ubuntu on the command line, where would it show up once it's plugged in
[12:27] <crdlb> Narsil, is it a "PlaysForSure" device?
[12:27] <Amaranth> PirateHead: It works perfectly here and apparently for most people. :) That's why I need bug reports
[12:27] <Narsil> crdlb: no, it's a zen v plus
[12:27] <mentaluproar3> Still can't boot to windows
[12:27] <Wansworld-dot-ne> Amaranth: Who is the 'go to' persons in this room
[12:27] <yettenet> What audio players do you suggest for Ubuntu?
[12:28] <clouder`grr> I suggest Exaile!
[12:28] <PirateHead> yettenet: I suggest Rhythmbox because it is built-in and Amarok because it is awesome.
[12:28] <bruenig> !mediaplayers
[12:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mediaplayers - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:28] <lufis> yettenet: amarok, rhythmbox, banshee. lots of choices :)
[12:28] <yettenet> Thanks, I'll give it a look
[12:28] <elriah> Anything need to be done with 6.06 LTS for the new US DST timezone changes?
[12:28] <bruenig> !mediaplayer
[12:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mediaplayer - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:28] <ardchoille> yettenet: I like xmms
[12:28] <elriah> !dst
[12:28] <mark0> Jowi - winbind still not installing :(
[12:28] <PirateHead> yettenet: if Exaile is the GTK+ port of Amarok, then that's probably worth looking at too. I've never used it.
[12:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dst - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:28] <elriah> !timezone
[12:28] <elriah> !timezones
[12:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about timezone - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about timezones - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:28] <mentaluproar3> ok, now I can't kill my old nick
[12:29] <mark0> jowi - winbind still not installing :(
[12:29] <crdlb> Narsil, the Zen V Plus is a PlaysForSure device, basically that means it's mtp
[12:29] <Jowi> mark0, sudo apt-get update
[12:29] <clouder`grr> PirateHead: that's exactly what it is.  Still under heavy dev.  But very promising
[12:29] <mark0> k
[12:29] <ardchoille> mentaluproar3: /msg nickserv help ghost
[12:29] <bruenig> listen is better than exaile
[12:29] <PirateHead> clouder`grr: I'll have to take a look at it some time.
[12:29] <Jowi> mark0, always update after adding/removing/changing repositories.
[12:29] <stiv2k> how do i mount a USB drive in ubuntu on the command line, where would it show up once it's plugged in

[12:54] <PriceChild> sivik, "/lastlog crimsun" would give you just lines containing his name. Means you dont' have to ask people for the line again :)

[12:59] <fenderocker> I just got a new video card, and when I boot ubuntu, it says "failed to start x server". How can I fix this?
[12:59] <bruenig> xexos, you need to extract the directory into /opt and then symlink /usr/bin/firefox as well as the plugins in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
[12:59] <mentaluproar> nope, let me try S
[12:59] <SnakesAndStuff> Okay, I have a stupid question... is there a terminal window or anything I can look at to see why beryl isn't loading?

[01:01] <aos> hmm   -    any1 know why http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy_pl dont work?
[01:01] <hanbush> bruenig: can you check my repositories? http://pastebin.ca/386939
[01:01] <bruenig> hanbush, I don't see any duplicate entries, everything looks like it should work. Perhaps the mirror you are using is having problems or something or maybe you have some extra repos in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ that are registering as duplicate
[01:01] <xexos> ubuntu wont get any bigger than 1024x768 for me

[01:04] <Kooka> cya und gute nacht
[01:04] <hanbush> mla6_: right click, copy, then open up terminal, and right lcick, paste
[01:04] <mla6_> hanbush, i get a lot of Tabs prepended to each line
[01:04] <SnakesAndStuff> Is there anyway to make the bootup screen not grainy???
[01:04] <jrib> mla6_: method 1: highlight what you want to copy and middle click in terminal.  method 2: copy, the in terminal ctrl-shift-v (or right-click -> paste)
[01:04] <crimsun> sivik: yes.
[01:04] <mla6_> jrib, i get a lot of Tabs prepended to each line pasted
[01:05] <hanbush> bruenig: is there a synaptic for it?
[01:05] <mentaluproar> if I'm going through all this, I want to be sure ubuntu wont be killed every time my power cuts out
[01:05] <jrib> mla6_: because there are tabs in what you copied
[01:05] <mla6_> not really...
[01:05] <bruenig> hanbush, apt-get, synaptic, it is all the same
[01:05] <jrib> mla6_: example?
[01:05] <hanbush> bruenig: ahh, i see, what should i do? i need to view videos for work
[01:05] <xexos> i typed it, but  * Stopping GNOME Display Manager... [ ok ]  * Starting GNOME Display Manager...  [fail]
[01:05] <bruenig> hanbush, if apt-get is spitting errors, so should synaptic, try "sudo apt-get update" again just to see. There doesn't appear to be any problems
[01:05] <mla6_> jrib, each line has n tabs prepended (n=line number)
[01:06] <PirateHead> mentalupoar: a power cut can be dangerous regardless of operating system. either the memory loses power and dies, or it doesn't -- regardless of the software
[01:06] <mla6_> jrib it's like a pattern
[01:06] <thoreauputic> mentaluproar: linux and ubuntu usually recover gracefully from blackouts
[01:06] <jrib> mla6_: are you pasting straight into the command line or some application running in the terminal?
[01:06] <hanbush> bruenig: no updates
[01:06] <mla6_> jrib i think it has to do with carriage return or new line
[01:06] <mentaluproar> -[hwew- so this isn't just me attempting to learn something
[01:06] <mla6_> jrib vi usually
[01:06] <bruenig> hanbush, but there were no errors?
[01:06] <mentaluproar> ok, I'm off to fetch my external drive
[01:06] <LadyNikon> Flannel: is that in synaptic?

[01:08] <mla6_> jrib oh, i'm copying from a browser window for example
[01:08] <jong> ha, alright: I have 2 external drives (ntfs and fat32). I just installed 6.10 and I cant get it to recognize the drives much less mount them (i have ntfs-3g).

[01:08] <jong> usb
[01:08] <crimsun> sivik: yes, please be patient.
[01:08] <jrib> mla6_: did you read the information you got after typing that command in vi?
[01:08] <hanbush> bruenig: that im not sure about, but in terms of linux, you appear to be sane :p
[01:09] <bruenig> just got an xchat update, leaves to see what that is all about

[01:11] <jrib> mla6_: it won't do it in gui mode.  It also won't do it if you don't have autoindent...
[01:11] <jong> so umm... does anyone have any idea how I can go about debugging if my drives are recognized is a hardware problem, software, or operator noobiness problem :-)

Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[01:14] <Chetwin> !nvidia
[01:14] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:14] <jrib> Chetwin: erm, if you still really want it, visit #automatix for help
[01:14] <PirateHead> Automatix ought to be for when *nothing* else works... end even then,
[01:14] <thoreauputic> Chetwin: but really, you don't want it :)
[01:14] <PirateHead> !worksforme
[01:14] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[01:14] <Chetwin> I try to follow the howtos on installing nvidia drivers and it breaks my systeem
[01:15] <LjL> Chetwin: at least that way you know what you did that broke it.
[01:15] <bruenig> Chetwin, you should try envy
[01:15] <LjL> Chetwin: anyway, you might want to elaborate on "breaks my system"
[01:15] <thoreauputic> !envy
[01:15] <ubotu> envy is a Python script that eases installation of the official Nvidia and ATI drivers. Please see http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html . Developers may be interested in https://launchpad.net/products/envy - See also !Nvidia
[01:15] <Chetwin> I tried manually installing the nvidia driver earlier today and my X freaked out and would not start
[01:15] <Flannel> LadyNikon: yeah, it's in universe.
[01:16] <bruenig> Chetwin, what makes you think automatix won't do the same
[01:16] <mentaluproar> now it wont mount my external ntfs drive
[01:16] <mentaluproar> this is irritating
[01:16] <LjL> Chetwin: well that's easily fixed (well, restored to the known-good state at least) by putting back "nv" instead of "nvidia" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf (which is very easily accomplished if you've made a backup of it...)
[01:16] <LadyNikon> Flannel: THANKS
[01:16] <LadyNikon> oops
[01:16] <Chetwin> LjL, that's what I did
[01:16] <LadyNikon> thanks..
[01:16] <Chetwin> But still yet I was unable to get the proper driver working
[01:17] <LjL> Chetwin: well the nvidia driver is the nvidia driver, automatix won't do anything magic for you if it somehow refuses to work on your system
[01:17] <jong> ok, last try, ill try and make it clearer: I am super noob and just installed ubuntu. My problem: I have 2 usb external hard drives (1 nfts, 1 fat32). The drives should be recognized under places/computer I believe. Correct. When I attach them and restart they are not recognized. Does anyone have any idea about how to debug this problem?
[01:17] <LjL> Chetwin: are you sure you don't need the legacy driver perhaps? is your card recent?
[01:17] <Chetwin> Mmy card is newer
[01:17] <Chetwin> Brand new dell laptop
[01:18] <LjL> Chetwin: you should look at what /var/log/Xorg.0.log says after a failed attempt to start X
[01:18] <crimsun> sivik: you're using an old kernel. Why are you not using -11 ?
[01:18] <Chetwin> I'm a techie and it gives ME a headache
[01:18] <Chetwin> log files are crap unless you understand them
[01:18] <mentaluproar> I can't mount my external USB hdd at all, but it used to mount just fine
[01:18] <LjL> Chetwin: that is why we have support channels...

[01:21] <seravitae> Toma-:  im looking for a multi-server GUI client.
[01:21] <Toma-> seravitae: exactly.
[01:21] <jong> vaalath you need the ntfs-3g package
[01:21] <Chetwin> Indy: If I was sure then I would most likely have better luck
[01:21] <Chetwin> I'm going to use synaptic
[01:22] <Vaalth> ive done it before dont remember the command though
[01:22] <seravitae> Toma-:  i wouldn't call xchat GUI.
[01:22] <Vaalth> so im guessing i have it ;)
[01:22] <seravitae> if you wish me to be more precise, i'd prefer a gnome-accessible client.
[01:22] <Toma-> seravitae: xchat isnt a GUI?
[01:22] <Xenguy> seravitae: of course xchat is GUI
[01:22] <seravitae> i said *I* wouldn't call it a gui.
[01:22] <Toma-> seravitae: xchat is written in GTK, same as gnome.
[01:22] <Xenguy> seravitae: yes.  You are wrong.
[01:23] <seravitae> that is fine if i am wrong, since it is an opinion.
[01:23] <Grenade> word
[01:23] <Toma-> seravitae: i dont get it... you want something more visually appealing that xchat?
[01:23] <seravitae> either way i thought it was obvious that if i was using xchat-gnome i wouldn't roll back to xchat.
[01:23] <Xenguy> seravitae: no, it is a fact -- it *is* a Graphical User Interface (i.e. GUI). Period. End of story. Thank you for playing.  Next :P

The laptop now boots, and I can use the command line, but X refuses to start (different video card, etc).  What I'd like to do is just get Ubuntu to redo the installation, so it'll
[01:24] <bruenig> it is not an opinion you wouldn't call xchat a gui, a gui is a certain thing with criteria that are used to determine if something fits it, either xchat fit that criteria and therefore is a gui or it doesn't, no opinion there
[01:24] <Vaalth> so does anyone know the command to mount an ntfs drive?
[01:24] <Xenguy> seravitae: hey you deserved it ;-)
[01:24] <Vaalth> ubuntuguide.org is down or something so i cant check that :/
[01:24] <Toma-> seravitae: you can roll back to xchat...
[01:24] <seravitae> i said never mind.
[01:24] <seravitae> drop it.
[01:24] <Slart> Vaalth: look in "man mount" there is a switch for file system.. set it to ntfs
[01:24] <Toma-> seravitae: ha. ok then
[01:24] <martalli> xchat is a great little program
[01:24] <bruenig> there is a difference between saying, hey alright guys just an opinion and admitting defeat
[01:24] <jong> Well if no one has any ideas about how I can debug if my drive recognition problem is hardware/software or how to debug it could someone at least point me in the direction of where to figure this out. I've been trying to get my files for the last 2 days

[01:34] <MatrixMon> fat32
[01:34] <juice`> becouse old one was full of my own posts
[01:34] <LjL> MatrixMon: i answered: no.
[01:34] <MatrixMon> Oh
[01:34] <MatrixMon> Thanks
[01:35] <MatrixMon> LjL: do you know why?
[01:35] <juice`> ok i will try asking personally, maybe this will help
[01:35] <juice`> LjL: hi, do you see what i'm typing? :)
[01:35] <LjL> MatrixMon: uh... because FAT is not a Unix-type filesystem, doesn't support Unix permissions, doesn't support the Unix file naming schemes....?
[01:35] <Slart> ok, jong.. here's what I want you to do.. open a terminal, type "tail -f /var/log/syslog" and press entar. It will show you the last 10 lines of the system log
[01:35] <LjL> juice`: yes i do, no i don't know about your kernel problem
[01:35] <thoreauputic> MatrixMon: why would you want to use a terrible file system like fat 32 anyway ? ;-)
[01:35] <MatrixMon> I see
[01:35] <MatrixMon> Well..
[01:36] <MatrixMon> Its not my computer
[01:36] <juice`> LjL: was just checking if i'm not being ignored by server or something.
[01:36] <LjL> MatrixMon, then don't install an operating system on it

[01:36] <Slart> jong: you don't have to tell me what the lines are... but keep an eye on that window and plug in your usb drive.. if it's plugged in, disconnect it and then plug it in again
[01:36] <LjL> MatrixMon: and why can't you just use a normal ext3 filesystem?
[01:37] <thoreauputic> MatrixMon: if it's an old box, xubuntu might be a good choice

[01:37] <MatrixMon> Are you sure that will all work out?
[01:37] <thoreauputic> MatrixMon: and as LjL says, just use the ext3 file system

[01:40] <LjL> NTFS and FAT are filesystems made for Microsoft Windows. i can't understand why you'd use them for a Unix system, nor can i get a clue why you believe that only certain filesystems would work on your drive

[01:46] <justin___> But one thing I wish to know, why is it that a refresh of 60hz in windows vs Ubuntu is different? - In windows 60hz is "bearable" in Ubuntu.. I mean it's really really noticeable, is there a reason for that?
[01:46] <Sivik> PriceChild, good, cause i don't understand

[01:47] <LjL> Nap: also, do an "apt-cache policy libc6" and tell me what it says. a run of memtest (it's included in ubuntu, and can be accessed from the grub menu) won't hurt for sure. if you have any unofficial repositories enabled, you may also want to paste your /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:47] <ben325e> anyone have experience with ati radeon xpress 200 G onboard video?

[01:47] <threeonefour_> can i get help with setting my colinux to use my ubuntu partition as the root
[01:48] <emet> sudo apt-get install `apt-cache search gstreamer`
[01:48] <emet> :P
[01:48] <emet> that probably won't work!
[01:48] <xexos> i plugged in my ipod once and i made an icon on the desktop, but when ever i try to get that to happen again, it wont
[01:48] <thoreauputic> emet: it definitely won't work :)
[01:48] <PriceChild> xexos, are you on gnome?
[01:48] <Slart> jong: looks like it might be your USB-connector in the computer, or the usb cord, or the usb-thingy you're trying to connect.. from a webpage "PROBELM SOLVED
[01:48] <Slart> Turns out error -71 is a low level hardware error, and usually signifies a problem with the device or the chord. The device and the usb port are know to work so...
[01:48] <Slart> I ended up buying a usb hub (a standard 1.1, considering this laptop doesn't have a high speed port) and it recognized my device. Considering I only had one usb port, I needed it anyway.Hope this help someone down the line."
[01:48] <Nap> LjL: apt-cache policy ouputs theree versions, from edgy-updates, edgy-proposed and edgy, all from archive.ubuntu.com
[01:49] <emet> thoreauputic, fix it :(
[01:49] <thoreauputic> emet: hah
[01:49] <xexos> PriceChild: yea
[01:49] <emet> I know you need to pipe something around like 20 times
[01:49] <emet> no?
[01:49] <Sivik> whats the character needed for the uname -r thingy when handling and looking for stuff for your current kernel
[01:49] <jong> slart - so its a hardware problem?
[01:49] <Slart> jong: that's the only solution I've found on the net.. there are lots of posts with this error but any good answers are hard to find
[01:49] <PriceChild> xexos, You shouldn't have had to edit anything... should just appear by default as its automounted by gnome... do you see it in /media ?
[01:49] <thoreauputic> emet:  sudo apt-get install gstreamer*  might work ( but it's huge overkill)
[01:49] <PriceChild> thoreauputic, isn't it libgstreamer ?
[01:50] <ben325e> Under Add/Remove I see tons of programs with K in the name, but I am running Gnome, are they usable in Gnome or only KDE?
[01:50] <crimsun> Sivik: did you reboot into the new errata kernel (-11)?
[01:50] <Slart> jong: there's a lot of hits to go through http://www.google.se/search?q=%22device+not+accepting+address%22+%22error+-71%22
[01:50] <emet> ben325e, nope, they work in GNOME too!
[01:50] <xexos> PriceChild: no
[01:50] <thoreauputic> PriceChild: well i guess gstreamer* would only get plugins etc actually
[01:50] <Sivik> crimsun, i don't see it in the repos anywhere
[01:50] <threeonefour_> Slart, just remember that not all usb devices are not always 1.1 compatible
[01:50] <emet> but be careful, KDE programs don't run as well in GNOME cause of shared libraries!
[01:50] <ben325e> thanks emet!
[01:50] <emet> np
[01:50] <PriceChild> emet, kde programs work perfectly in gnome
[01:51] <emet> they open like 2 seconds slower
[01:51] <emet> then in KDE
[01:51] <PriceChild> xexos, Hmm... I'm not sure sorry...
[01:51] <Sivik> crimsun, it finally found it
[01:51] <Sivik> crimsun, let me install and reboot
[01:51] <PriceChild> emet, because the libraries haven't already been called... obviously if you run kde, everything's been pulled ready already. They still work fine.
[01:51] <jong> Thank you slart, ive been having a lot of usb related problems in windows as well so it makes sense. My devices were running at 1.1 max not 2.0... Do you know of any tools that can run diagnostics on the usb to narrow it further down for me?
[01:51] <Slart> threeonefour_: true
[01:52] <emet> PriceChild, right, run as well (performance wise), there is also UI differences!
[01:52] <threeonefour_> jong, is this a laptop
[01:52] <mentaluproar> how can I write to an NTFS partition
[01:52] <emet> I recommend GTK+ applications unless you really need the KDE one
[01:52] <jong> yeah
[01:52] <Slart> jong: no idea.. I guess just plugging stuff in counts as a diagnostic =) never had problems with my usb-ports
[01:52] <thoreauputic> mentaluproar: try reading the urls you were given an hour ago?
[01:52] <sivik> crimsun, let me boot into that new kernel as soon as i get it installed
[01:52] <PriceChild> emet, agreed.
[01:52] <ben325e> Is there a beryl support channel?  Or should I just give up on beryl.  (I installed it with ati radeon xpress 200 G onboard video, and it opens, but shows me a white screen.... when I alt+tab+arrow, the cube rotates, but it is a strictly whiite cube... :)
[01:52] <mentaluproar> crap, sorry
[01:52] <Slart> jong: why not try getting a cheap usb2 controller card at your local computer store.. can't cost much
[01:52] <PriceChild> ben325e, #ubuntu-effects
[01:52] <sivik> !beryl
[01:53] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[01:53] <techie_> Question: I am trying to use sound recorder. When I attempt to record it tells me: "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Correct them in the Multimedia" What does it mean or where is the Multimedia?
[01:53] <ben325e> thx pricechild
[01:53] <techie_> I am using Ubuntu 6.10 Edgey
[01:53] <martalli> if you're going to get a cheap usb board, check out the reviews on newegg - people will typically report which ones worked well for linux, etc.
[01:53] <threeonefour_> jong, Slart: if it wasent a laptop there would be a way
[01:53] <EdgEy> i have a really bad nick choice for this channel :|
[01:53] <thoreauputic> techie_: try alsamixer or the preferences for gnome-volume-control
[01:53] <emet> get nvidia/intel for video
[01:54] <sivik> crimsun, i'm loading into the new kernel
[01:54] <jong> i have a docking station and have similar problems when i go through it for usb. Do you know if the controller is right before the usb port or is it on the motherboard?
[01:54] <emet> and avoid broadcom for wifi
[01:54] <jong> well thanks a lot slart. that helps me out, at least i know where i'm screwed :-)
[01:54] <emet> intel wifi has pretty good support as retek too (OSS)
[01:54] <martalli> intel wifi is most reliable...but the newer 3945 is not well supported in the linux world
[01:54] <threeonefour_> jong, the controler is controled by the north bridge
[01:54] <Number2> hello
[01:55] <PriceChild> !hi | Number2
[01:55] <ubotu> Number2: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[01:55] <martalli> I could only get my 3945 chip working with mepis (works out of the box with wpa, too)
[01:55] <Slart> threeonefour, jong: oh.. it's a laptop? didn't know that.. that sucks... I have no idea how the usb ports are constructed.. you can always ask in a more linux hardware oriented channel.. they might have some tips
[01:55] <whycry> ho ho
[01:55] <threeonefour_> jong, so you cannot change it
[01:55] <xexos> https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=141362&package_id=155388 which one do i dl? (im a n00b)
[01:55] <juice`> please help me with this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2267569
[01:55] <emet> I got Intel wifi and worked out the box as far back as Dapper
[01:55] <Number2> i need to know how to set directory permissiond on a folder i create as root
[01:55] <whycry> help me
[01:55] <martalli> You could get a PC-Card with usb ports if it was really important
[01:56] <Slart> Number2: use sudo chmod bla bla bla
how do i install via terminal! Any commands?
[01:56] <threeonefour_> Slart, all usb is defined by the northbridge, except for desktops where you can get a usb 2.0 card
I meant the altamixer
[01:56] <Number2> i need to know what the bla bla bla is
[01:56] <emet> it has full WPA support too, but not PEAP out the box
[01:56] <jong> so i guess i need to get a pc card usb controller
[01:56] <Slart> threeonefour_: ah.. all motherboards have a northbridge?
[01:56] <Number2> im creating a folder as root but i need users able to access it
[01:56] <thoreauputic> techie_: just type alsamixer in a terminal, and use spce, arrow, and tab to navigate
[01:57] <thoreauputic> techie_: space to toggle things
[01:57] <jrib> !permissions | Number2
[01:57] <threeonefour_> Slart, a northbridge and a southbridge that is how bios detects them
[01:57] <ubotu> Number2: The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[01:57] <thoreauputic> techie_: and m to mute - unmute IIRC
[01:57] <Slart> Number2: heh.. ok.. everyone gets to do everything would be "sudo chmod a+rw foldername"
[01:57] <Number2> thank you
[01:57] <jong> slart threeonefour thanks a lot
[01:57] <Slart> you're welcome jong
[01:57] <thoreauputic> techie_: <esc> to quit
[01:58] <`nicola> guys I don't remember the way to get the output in english, it wass something like ALL_LC command
[01:58] <threeonefour_> Slart, an easyer way of chmod is   chmod 777 (for total access by everyone ) foldername
[01:58] <Slart> threeonefour_: nice.. I thought they are .. well.. some kind of product names.. =)
[01:58] <Anohaakten> can someone help me with adding stuff to your startup?
[01:58] <priich> emet, golfing, ehh ?     how about:  sudo apt-get install `apt-cache search gstreamer|gawk '{print $1}'|grep -i "^gstreamer\|^libgstreamer"`
[01:58] <Anohaakten> like...I want beryl to run on startup
[01:59] <Anohaakten> how do I do that
[01:59] <xexos> should i use wine or something else?
[01:59] <Slart> threeonefour_: yes.. but then it's just voodoo.. chmod a+rw is at least almost understandable =)
[01:59] <PriceChild> Anohaakten, > #ubuntu-effects (Add it to system > sessions)
[01:59] <emet> \it works

[02:00] <facugaich> tont, XChat

[02:00] <Slart> tont: xchat is available.. both normal and with gnome goodness
[02:00] <foutrelis> I use opera for irc. rules :)

[02:01] <justin___> foutrelis: Same here
[02:01] <threeonefour_> Slart, do you know how to config colinux for M$
[02:01] <Slart> threeonefour_: hehe.. and the people asking about file permissions here will be able to do that? =)
I tried it all but things seem ok. so I will try the record again
[02:01] <enjahova> how can i start ubuntu without loading gnome?
[02:01] <foutrelis> jughead: Here is a cool smiley 8-) :P
[02:01] <thoreauputic> techie_: check your capture settings perhaps

[02:01] <PriceChild> enjahova, you could remove gdm from init.d.... I "think" that'll do it
[02:01] <tont> xchat is alittle better
[02:01] <tont> hehe
[02:01] <emet> enjahova, you can change the session in gdm
[02:01] <foutrelis> enjahova: You can stop gdm with sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop

I am using record as voice, lossless
[02:02] <thoreauputic> techie_: sorry, I'm no sound guru I fear
[02:03] <threeonefour_> enjahova, or you could just switch ttys    to do that is  alt + ctrl + f1
[02:03] <wapityyy> Slart: yes mysql..
[02:03] <Slart> wapityyy: there are some other executables.. but they all start with mysql
but you are a true helper... thanks fro the attempt
[02:03] <foutrelis> wapityyy: Maybe sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start
[02:03] <thoreauputic> techie_: if you see crimsun he might help you ( he is a sound guru) :)
[02:03] <Slart> wapityyy: eh.. no.. you type "mysql", I seem to remember
probably is a matter of playing with the microphone etc...
[02:03] <wapityyy> thx
ok, if you see him tell him I need help in that area also. Thanks.
[02:03] <thoreauputic> techie_: yes, there are a lot of permutations unfortunately

[02:10] <nrdb> Hi, I copied my 6.06 installation and then upgraded it to 6.10 and the 6.10 installation won't work my monitor, :( the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is the same as on my 6.06 installation, but the monitor say 'out of sync', I am using the 'mga' video driver. (the 6.10 desktop cd does the same thing)  can anyone sugest a fix ?
[02:10] <Slart> will: ouch.. I think you're out of look then.. Creatives players don't act as removable drives when connected.. so you can't just pop them in a transfer mp3 to them.. you'll have to get some software that handles your player
[02:10] <erisco> does anyone know how to connect to a server through front page extensions?
[02:11] <Chetwin> I followed all of the howto, and still, failure
[02:11] <Slart> Chetwin: have you tried downloading the driver from nvidias site?
[02:11] <Chetwin> Yes
[02:11] <Chetwin> Same result
[02:11] <facugaich> Where do I put a command I want executed when I login?
[02:11] <Chetwin> I run nvidia-xconfig
[02:11] <Slart> any errors?
[02:11] <Chetwin> Then restart
[02:12] <Chetwin> X wont start
[02:12] <LjL> !startup > facugaich    (facugaich, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:12] <Slart> I've never had to run nvidia-xconfig.. well well..
[02:12] <amicrawler> how do i tell what ver i'm runing of ubuntu
[02:12] <Chetwin> With automatix it was working fine on my last install
[02:12] <Chetwin> Now that automatix's server is down I can not reinstall it properly
[02:12] <will> Slart, I have the option of dedicating a portion of it to a removable idsk.
[02:13] <Chetwin> So frustrated
[02:13] <will> Disk.*
[02:13] <omegacenti> !modesetting
[02:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about modesetting - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:13] <thoreauputic> facugaich: for gnome, in ~/,gnomerc ( you have to create the file)
[02:13] <omegacenti> Anyone had any experience with modesetting?
[02:13] <LjL> modesetting?
[02:13] <Slart> Chetwin: I'm talking about the big file.. NVIDIA bla bla bla numbers etc .sh.. you run it and it offers to download kernel modules and everything?
[02:13] <stiv2k> how can I change my interface name from eth1 to eth0
[02:13] <amicrawler> how do i tell what ver i'm runing of ubuntu
[02:13] <amicrawler> how do i tell what ver i'm runing of ubuntu
[02:13] <amicrawler> how do i tell what ver i'm runing of ubuntu
[02:13] <stiv2k> to avoid confusion in the future
[02:13] <will> Slart, If I put it on that partition do you think I could transfer that without software?
[02:13] <preaction> !repeat | amicrawler
[02:13] <thoreauputic> facugaich: that should be ~/.gnomerc
[02:13] <Slart> will: yes... but you won't be able to play any files you put there
[02:13] <ubotu> amicrawler: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[02:13] <Chetwin> NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9755-pkg1.run Yes
[02:13] <will> Slart,  Okay.
[02:13] <will> Thanks.
[02:14] <stiv2k> how can i rename my interface from eth1 to eth0 to avoid confusion
[02:14] <will> Slart, How do you know this stuff anyway?
[02:14] <preaction> LjL: nice response time
[02:14] <facugaich> thoreauputic, LjL answered me already, thank you anyways!
[02:14] <buchanp> how do i stop rhythmbox from auto launching every time i plug in my ipod?
[02:14] <Slart> will: but do a search in synaptic for creative zen.. there might be sometihng there..
[02:14] <will> Okay.
[02:14] <juice`> patience... yes, that's needed
[02:14] <Slart> will: because I have one of those myself.. I hate creative now =)
[02:14] <thoreauputic> facugaich: ah, I missed it  - sorry :)
[02:14] <juice`> bug that has 3 months, and is stopping me from using ubuntu
[02:14] <usr13> nrdb:  "Cant find package mplayer-mozilla
[02:14] <juice`> i need more patience, thats my answer :|
[02:14] <Chetwin> So I'm screwed
[02:14] <Chetwin> Awesome
[02:15] <will> Slart,  Ah, I just use my Win partition for transfer.
[02:15] <will> It's a nice device, so I don't hate them.
[02:15] <omegacenti> Okay, it seems there is an issue with Xorg and Intel chipsets in relation to video bios available modes, does anyone have any suggestions as to workarounds for this?
[02:15] <Slart> Chetwin: ah.. didn't see your reply there.. sorry.. well.. then I just don't know what to do.. it has worked every time for me..
[02:15] <preaction> Chetwin: no, you're not. you just might have to do some manual fun
[02:15] <stiv2k> how can i rename my interface from eth1 to eth0 to avoid confusion
[02:15] <preaction> Chetwin: you tried installing the driver manually from the nvidia site?
[02:15] <jjholt> I have yet to find a fully working driver for my video card
[02:15] <Chetwin> yes
[02:16] <buchanp> anyone know how to stop rhythmbox from auto launching every time i plug in my ipod?  or change the mime type to launch amarok instead?
[02:16] <Slart> will: hehe.. if you really really wanted you could try running their software using wine
[02:16] <LjL> stiv2k: i suppose you don't have a card at eth0?
[02:16] <Slart> !wine
[02:16] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[02:16] <preaction> Chetwin: and now x won't start?
[02:16] <priich> will, have you tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=199250
[02:16] <juice`> omegacenti: i got the same issue, but i dont care as i can't even start ubuntu as there is even bigger issue with intel+jmicron that just doesnt support hard drives
[02:16] <mentaluproar> http://www.linuxselfhelp.com/gnu/grub/html_chapter/grub_4.html I tried using that and I couldn't access the ntfs partitions.
[02:16] <nrdb> usr13: its mozilla-mplayer sorry
[02:16] <jjholt> unichrome IGP linux support blows
[02:16] <stiv2k> LjL: correct
[02:17] <stiv2k> LjL: i had one, removed it, put this one in and when i booted up it came up as eth1
[02:17] <mentaluproar> http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=675 wrong link
[02:17] <LjL> stiv2k: then do a cat /etc/iftab - that should give you a clue (i.e., the system remembers interfaces by MAC address, so if you change the eth1 line to say eth0, or simply remove that line, the system should use the name eth0 next time)
[02:17] <omegacenti> juice`: Sounds yummy.
[02:17] <omegacenti> Anyone else care to enlighten me? :)
[02:17] <stiv2k> LjL: thanks
[02:17] <LjL> stiv2k: yeah, i thought you had done that :)
[02:17] <enjahova> Does anyone know if ALSA has an irc channel
[02:17] <Slart> enjahova: it probably has.. tried #alsa ?
[02:18] <buchanp> anyone know how to stop rhythmbox from auto launching every time i plug in my ipod?  or change the mime type to launch amarok instead?
[02:18] <LjL> enjahova: #alsa seems a reasonable guess, as /who #alsa would confirm
[02:18] <thoreauputic> facugaich: heh I just looked at the ubotu factoid page for "startup" - typing a couple of commands in ~/.gnomerc is much quicker and easier in my opinion - I must be old school :)
[02:18] <crdlb> thoreauputic, is ~/.gnomerc from gnome 1.x ?
[02:19] <mentaluproar> I still can gain access to my ntfs partition on theinternal.  I did gain read-only access to the USB NTFS
[02:19] <mentaluproar> *still cannot
[02:19] <usr13> nrdb:  Couldn't find package mozilla-mplayer
[02:19] <thoreauputic> crdlb: well, it can still be used - i don't remember ( premature senility no doubt) ;p
[02:19] <will> Slart, Yeah.
[02:19] <will> I tried that.
[02:19] <javb> my USB is 1GB, but, in Ubuntu, when i hotplug it it gives me about 200MB ... any ideas?
[02:20] <wapityyy> I cant get mysql to work, i downloaded it with synaptic... but its not in the services :S anyone knows what i should do ?
[02:20] <buchanp> anyone know how to stop rhythmbox from auto launching every time i plug in my ipod?  or change the mime type to launch amarok instead?
[02:20] <Slart> will: didn't work? (I haven't tried it)
[02:20] <will> Slart,  No, .dll wasn't compatible.
[02:20] <mjunx> it's mozilla-mplayer
[02:20] <buchanp> wapityyy, make sure you downloaded mysql server not just the client
[02:20] <will> Well, bye.
[02:20] <preaction> javb: did you try re-formatting it? try formatting it as FAT32?
[02:20] <mjunx> but it's in multiverse
[02:20] <nrdb> usr13: you might have to enable a different repository, maybe universe
[02:21] <Pelo> yesterday I manage to set up a cpu frequency modulator on a Celeron D on a desktop, but occasionnaly when the cpu is not working full speed I get a squeeking noise comming from my box ... should I worry ?
[02:21] <Joshooa> Can I get some opinions from any of you on why you use Ubuntu, and not Kubuntu?
[02:21] <omegacenti> Noone else on a laptop that has an Intel Chipset?
[02:21] <buchanp> Pelo, yes
[02:21] <buchanp> keep a fire extinguisher thingy handy
[02:21] <Slart> Pelo: squeaking noise? it's not just the cpu fan?
[02:21] <javb> preaction how can i format under ubuntu ?
[02:21] <Pelo> Joshooa,  it's a question of preference,  I like the look and feel of gnome,  and I don'T realy care for the look and feels of kde
[02:22] <javb> (sorry, newbie, havent done it unless installing it)
[02:22] <preaction> javb: open System > Administration > Disks
[02:22] <buchanp> javb, mkfs formats pretty well
[02:22] <Pelo> Slart,  I would say it's the fans but it only does that when the cpu is underclocking
[02:22] <Slart> Joshooa: because I kind of like gnome.. and I found ubuntu before I found out there was kubuntu
[02:22] <omegacenti> Also, Is Qparted the application that resizes harddrive partitions? and if so, I couldn't find it in the synaptics package manager.
[02:22] <Joshooa> Pelo: Hmm, cause I installed Ubuntu off a DVD, heard lots that Kubuntu was better, did that, lots of stuff from Gnome didn't work, and now I just crashed Kubuntu and can't get back in
[02:22] <omegacenti> Okay, it seems there is an issue with Xorg and Intel chipsets in relation to video bios available modes, does anyone have any suggestions as to workarounds for this?
[02:22] <Pelo> buchanp,  the fans are working ok ,  I just get an odd sqeek
[02:22] <Joshooa> That doesn't sound like they are "pretty much the same" to me
[02:23] <Joshooa> Is ubuntu more stable?
[02:23] <crdlb> omegacenti, you're thinking of qtparted, but there is also gparted which is the gnome version
[02:23] <Slart> Pelo: well. perhaps the fans change speed when the cpu isn't used fully.. and perhaps the fan only makes noise at a certain speed.. just guessing here
[02:23] <preaction> Joshooa: they're the same OS with different desktop managers
[02:23] <Pelo> Joshooa, congrats , you crashed a linux distro, almost impossible
[02:23] <javb> preaction i dont that 'Disks' option at my System>Administration ?
[02:23] <omegacenti> crdlb: Thanks :)
[02:23] <jjholt> is there any ubuntu tool that allow me to change the cpu scaling
[02:23] <preaction> Joshooa: what do you mean by "crashed"
[02:23] <Blinocac200sx> E: The package aim needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report.
[02:23] <priich> omegacenti, i run some third party app to work around that issue.
[02:23] <Blinocac200sx> How can I fix this?
[02:23] <omegacenti> priich: Which one is that?
[02:23] <preaction> javb: Disks Manager or something similar? for some reason it's not on my system either... it was on dapper...
[02:23] <tont> anyone know of a good mp3 player that isnt automatix2?
[02:24] <Slart> Joshooa: they are pretty much the same.. I can install KDE on my ubuntu system and have it behave almost like Kubuntu.. I think
[02:24] <Joshooa> maybe I didn't technically, but whatever I did, I deleted a file and put it in the trash, then the disk was too full to empty trash or read manuals
[02:24] <create> i have a quick easy question if anyone has ~30 seconds
[02:24] <buchanp> Blinocac200sx, i think you broke it
[02:24] <Pelo> Slart, could be but the fans are also controled ,  and they don'T do it at other times, well,  I'll see I guess, it's just a bit annoying
[02:24] <priich> i855 somethingsomething. hang on, let me check
[02:24] <buchanp> tont, amarok
[02:24] <Slart> !ask | create
[02:24] <ubotu> create: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:24] <Joshooa> Slart: Wouldn't that make it Kubuntu then th ough?
[02:24] <omegacenti> priich: I am using 815resolution if that is the same thing.
[02:24] <jjholt> tont xmms has always worked or me
[02:24] <create> lol, oki
[02:24] <omegacenti> 915resolution*
[02:24] <crdlb> create, I've got 29 seconds, is that enough?
[02:24] <create> i am looking for a usenet reader for linux (ubuntu) that supports the use of nzb files
[02:24] <preaction> Joshooa: if the disk is too full, remove stuff as root. root always has some extra disk space set aside for it. you'll have to do it from a terminal probably
[02:24] <create> any suggestions ?
[02:25] <crdlb> create, have you tried pan?
[02:25] <Slart> Joshooa: yes.. perhaps... but if you start asking if KDE is better than gnome.. they you're into a whole new flamewar.. ;)
[02:25] <tont> thank you :)
[02:25] <buchanp> tont, amarok has a nice mysql backend if you have a huge music library,  other than that xmms is tried and true
[02:25] <buchanp> anyone know how to stop rhythmbox from auto launching every time i plug in my ipod?  or change the mime type to launch amarok instead?
[02:25] <mentaluproar> some help me transfer fron an internal NTFS partition to an external one
[02:25] <tont> yeah i dont have a huge library
[02:25] <javb> does someone know another GUI way to do that?
[02:25] <Slart> create: I have no idea.. haven't read any news on linux yet
[02:25] <tont> ill give xmms a try
[02:25] <Joshooa> preaction: No, I did that, no matter what I removed, disk was full still, even when I got it down to 7.1GB out of 7.4GB, it said 100% used and couldn't do anything
[02:25] <tont> thank you
[02:25] <wapityyy> buchanp: ok, i have the mysql server now... but i still dont see how to make it work lol :S
[02:25] <crdlb> buchanp, run gnome-volume-properties
[02:25] <mjunx> oh my, someone hates kde? ;_;
[02:25] <crdlb> and it's in the menu
[02:25] <buchanp> wapityyy, /etc/init.d/mysqld start
[02:25] <preaction> javb: is gparted installed? gnome-partition perhaps?
[02:25] <Joshooa> Then I did a reboot and couldn't log in to Kabuntu, went to terminal and logged it, could use startx, rm'd some stuff again, tried startx and I came into Ubuntu as root
[02:25] <mjunx> check out blackbox, then
[02:26] <Pelo> mjunx,  everyone but  linux hates kde
[02:26] <thoreauputic> buchanp: System - Preferences - Removable Drives and Media probably
[02:26] <Pelo> eveyone but linus
[02:26] <create> crdlb: will chek it out, thanks :)
[02:26] <mjunx> and all the kde users...
[02:26] <omegacenti> priich: Which application was that again for the workaround?
[02:26] <omegacenti> !intel
[02:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about intel - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:26] <javb> preaction, installing it.
[02:26] <buchanp> crdlb, thats it!
[02:26] <buchanp> thank you
[02:26] <Joshooa> I think that today I will reformat everything and then jsut stick with Ubuntu instead of going for Kubuntu
[02:26] <jjholt> anyway to change the cpu freq w/o using the terminal
[02:26] <omegacenti> Joshooa: Sounds good to me. :)
[02:27] <preaction> jjholt: "change the cpu freq"? you mean Overclock?
[02:27] <wapityyy> buchanp: there  is mysql, mysql-ndb, mysql-ndb-mgm, but no mysqld
[02:27] <Slart> jjholt: you mean like a power saving thing?
[02:27] <preaction> jjholt: only way i know of to do that requires messing with the BIOS
[02:27] <Joshooa> omegacenti: Me too, but I did think KDE was prettier
[02:27] <chriskk> wapityyy: try ps -A | grep mysqld
[02:27] <jjholt> preaction:  no cpu scaling yeah power managment
[02:27] <Slart> jjholt: unless you have that AMD trhingy.. cool something
[02:27] <buchanp> wapityyy, yeah its mysql not mysqld
[02:27] <foutrelis> wapityyy: What version of myslq do you want? 4 or 5?
[02:27] <omegacenti> Joshooa: Wouldn't know, haven't tried out KDE before, as I am very new to Linux.
[02:27] <Pelo> jjholt,  do you mean lowering the cpu freq when the system is not loaded ?
[02:28] <jjholt> Slart:  Pentium-M
[02:28] <wapityyy> 5
[02:28] <thoreauputic> buchanp: heh - thats; the same thing I told you with the menu path :)
[02:28] <Joshooa> omegacenti: Me too, I haven't used it a week yet
[02:28] <jjholt> Pelo:  yeah
[02:28] <Slart> jjholt: I use the CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor 2.16.1 on gnome
[02:28] <buchanp> wapityyy, /etc/init.d/mysql start
[02:28] <foutrelis> wapityyy: Have you tried apt-get install mysql-server-5.0?
[02:28] <wapityyy>  ps -A | grep mysqld
[02:28] <wapityyy>  9063 ?        00:00:00 mysqld_safe
[02:28] <wapityyy>  9256 ?        00:00:00 mysqld
[02:28] <Joshooa> omegacenti: I just did the apt-get install thingy and I was in it, and it was pretty, but I broke it so here i am back in Ubuntu :) Cleaner look anyway
[02:28] <jjholt> Slart:  that installed by default?
[02:28] <Pelo> jjholt, http://technowizah.com/2007/01/debian-how-to-cpu-frequency-management.html
[02:28] <omegacenti> Slart: Is that the exact name? In other words, how would I execute that from a command line?
[02:28] <Slart> jjholt: I don't remember.. but it's in the repos for sure
[02:28] <buchanp> thoreauputic, your right too :P  thanks both of you guys this has been annoyin the hell out of me
[02:29] <wapityyy> woah
[02:29] <wapityyy> i keep getting permission denied
[02:29] <omegacenti> Joshooa: What do you mean, you can apt-get install KDE?
[02:29] <omegacenti> Joshooa: Or even kubuntu
[02:29] <LjL> !kde > omegacenti    (omegacenti, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:29] <briguyd> jjholt, yeah its installed by default, click your top panel and select add to panel, then find it
[02:29] <Pelo> jjholt,  that is just to start with,  don'T install the cpufreq, just do the bit with modprobe, then install the frequency manager in the pannel applets
[02:29] <Slart> omegacenti, jjholt: I think it's an applet.. you add it to your gnome bar by right clicking, selecting add and selecting it
[02:29] <omegacenti> LjL: Wow, can those run simultaneously?
[02:29] <foutrelis> wapityyy: What are you trying to do and you get 'permission denied' ?
[02:29] <LjL> omegacenti: yes. not by the same user at the same time, though
[02:30] <omegacenti> Slart: Ah then I already have that on the bar. IT doesn't seem to allow me to change freq though.
[02:30] <chriskk> wapityyy: did you setup the root password?
[02:30] <Joshooa> !kde | omegacenti
[02:30] <ubotu> omegacenti: KDE (http://kde.org) is the K Desktop Environment. To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop", or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . Latest KDE veresion is 3.5.6 for Edgy and 3.5.5 for Dapper. See http://kubuntu.org for more information.
[02:30] <Joshooa> omegacenti: I did that
[02:30] <wapityyy> foutrelis: i am just trying to open the mysql
[02:30] <LjL> omegacenti: or at least not by standard means. you can log out of your GNOME and log into your KDE quite fine anyway.
[02:30] <chriskk> wapityyy: usually that's the first thing you do
[02:30] <Slart> omegacenti: what happens when you left click it?
[02:30] <omegacenti> one sec.
[02:30] <priich> omegacenti, heh seems like i'm using  855resolution.  but i also have i855crt in there.
[02:30] <buchanp> wapityyy, you have to login and set the root password
[02:30] <omegacenti> Slart: Nothing.
[02:30] <LjL> omegacenti: just about the only nuisance is that your GNOME menu gets filled with KDE apps, and vice versa
[02:30] <wapityyy> chriskk: i juyst typed sudo mysql start
[02:30] <omegacenti> priich: I have 915 or something.
[02:30] <buchanp> wapityyy, thats not how to start the mysql server
[02:31] <wapityyy> ERROR 1049 (42000): Unknown database 'start'
