[07:06] <ocha> din, i got my desktop back, the colors bad, should i restall my video drivers? or just uise the desktop or whatever ya know what i mean?
[07:06] <smultron> n2diy: ok, thanks
[07:06] <specialmoose> din, ok, posting... rhythmbox works fine but no damn eq :P
[07:06] <n2diy> DavidCraft_: sure it is ath0?
[07:06] <NemesisD> din, what do i need to do after i save that file? the network settings is acting weird, those dns servers showed up and then just disappeared
[07:06] <specialmoose> din, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27904/
[07:07] <Flannel> drama1981: I'm not sure exactly.
[07:07] <logan_> I am trying to watch a movie full screen, and am having lagging problems, do I need graphics drivers? I never installed any, using the ubuntu software stuff
[07:07] <noble> Hey smultron, I'm trying to figure out the same thing
[07:07] <din> ocha: get into your desktop, and pastebin your xorg.conf for me
[07:07] <DavidCraft_> n2diy, yeah
[07:07] <thefallenarchang> before installing madwifi does the restriced driver need to beremoved??
[07:07] <drama1981> ok ty. ill try google then
[07:07] <Flannel> drama1981: it'll be something like that though.  What "remove whole command line" are you talking about?
[07:07] <smultron> noble: you getting anywhere?
[07:07] <Jordan_U> logan_, What GFX card do you have?
[07:07] <logan_> ATI radeon
[07:07] <specialmoose> din, btw, i did install gstreamer0.8. something off apt-get
[07:07] <noble> smultron, nope not yet
[07:07] <Jordan_U> logan_, System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager
[07:07] <n2diy> DavidCraft_: ok, what does ifup ath0 tell you?
[07:07] <smultron> noble: i'm heading over to #mutt to see if they can help
[07:08] <specialmoose> din, gstreamer0.8-mad
[07:08] <din> specialmoose: give me a sec
[07:08] <noble> good idea smultron
[07:08] <Jordan_U> specialmoose, You want gstreamer0.10
[07:08] <veneboy> can i use alt+tab while dragging an icon in gnome?
[07:08] <drama1981> well if i select say text mode and hit f6 it lets me edit the boot commands. wasnt sure if i do something there or not
[07:08] <logan_> "Your hardware doesn't need restricted drivers"
[07:08] <orbisvicis> !find streamdvd
[07:08] <ocha_> !pastebin
[07:08] <ubotu> Package/file streamdvd does not exist in feisty
[07:08] <din> NemesisD: have you tried sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart ?
[07:08] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[07:08] <specialmoose> Jordan_U, how do i search apt-get to see if its there or not
[07:08] <veneboy> can i assign an icon to a shell script in gnome, so that i can see it in the "Run application" dialog?
[07:09] <NemesisD> din, trying that now
[07:09] <logan_> does that mean it is using my graphics card automatically or it just doesn't have anything it doesnt know what it is...?
[07:09] <Jordan_U> specialmoose, apt-cache search <whatever>
[07:09] <ocha_> !pastbin
[07:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pastbin - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:09] <logan_> Because I can't watch a video at all without it lagging, and I could in windows.
[07:09] <Flannel> drama1981: no, I don't believe that's it.  But, well, I suppose it might be.  You want to boot to the textmode installer, with the expert config.  I haven't installed in a while, bit rusty.
[07:09] <din> specialmoose: try this: sudo /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure amarok
[07:09] <matt2292> I'm setting up a computer to act as a server, so it will not have any monitors attached to it. I still need x server running because i control it via VNC, but if i try to boot without a monitor connected, i get the xserver fatal error "no screens detected" and so it will not start. My question is, how can i get x server to ignore the fact i have no physical monitor and still start up anyway?
[07:09] <DavidCraft_> n2diy, ifup: interface ath0 already configured
[07:09] <eboyjr> How do you edit the "Places" tab/menu on the File Browser???
[07:09] <drama1981> ok ty
[07:10] <smultron> noble: http:wiki.mutt.org is where i'm at now. maybe it will help
[07:10] <Jordan_U> eboyjr, alacarte or gconf-editor
[07:10] <n2diy> DavidCraft_: Can you ping it's IP?
[07:10] <dr_willis> matt2292,  you can set up vnc and not need a X server running.
[07:10] <DavidCraft_> n2diy, note: im using the wireless right now, no other option, so i need to know what to try when im off.
[07:10] <smultron> noble: http://wiki.mutt.org/?MuttGuide
[07:10] <Amaranth> Jordan_U: neither, actually
[07:10] <dr_willis> matt2292,  vnc can run tottaly in the background. You dont have to share the 'currently seen' desktop.
[07:10] <orbisvicis> !find dvdnav
[07:10] <DavidCraft_> n2diy, but i have tried when not connected
[07:10] <noble> thanks for the link smultron
[07:10] <ubotu> Found: libdvdnav-dev, libdvdnav4
[07:10] <specialmoose> din, typed command, didnt do anything
[07:10] <n2diy> DavidCraft_: Can you ping it's IP?
[07:10] <DavidCraft_> n2diy, would this NetworkManager applet have anything to do with it?
[07:10] <DavidCraft_> yes i can ping its ip...
[07:10] <dr_willis> matt2292,  you may need to configure the 'vncserver' settings a little bit. there was a buglet or 2 in them last i looked.
[07:10] <n2diy> DavidCraft_: Can you ping it's IP?
[07:11] <DavidCraft_> yes i can ping its ip...
[07:11] <din> specialmoose: sure it did. see if it amarok will work now.
[07:11] <specialmoose> din, same thing
[07:11] <din> aack
[07:11] <din> ok, gimme a bit
[07:11] <n2diy> DavidCraft_: Can you ping it's IP, with no failures?
[07:11] <drama1981> also does 3d acceleration actually work on ati cards? it doesnt with my current distro because the version of x is too new
[07:12] <DavidCraft_> n2diy, no failures so far... i dont see how this has anything to do with bringing it down
[07:12] <matt2292> dr_willis: is there an easier way? I'm running x11vnc because vncserver dosent seem to work with xfce, and i currently have it configured to login automatically and just use one desktop.
[07:12] <NemesisD> din, i get errors, rtnetlink no such process, theres already a pid file, and so on and soforth, it seems to be releasing the ip but then we get eth1 errors no such device, theres already a pid file, this is all foreign to me
[07:12] <n2diy> DavidCraft_: We need to know that you can talk to it.
[07:12] <ocha_> din, ya there?
[07:13] <DavidCraft_> n2diy, ok. now what?
[07:13] <din> ocha_: yes
[07:13] <dr_willis> matt2292,  the 'issue' is that the default vncserver dosent read the users  .vnc/xstartup like it used to do. You can configure vncserver to do so.. and launch xfce from that file.
[07:13] <veneboy> can you use alt+tab in gnome while dragging an icon (nautilus --> application)?
[07:13] <ocha_> din, what wast he website?
[07:13] <ocha_> din, pastebin?
[07:13] <din> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[07:13] <dr_willis> matt2292,  what i normally do is 'ssh' to the box and start vncserver. X doisent need to be running at all.
[07:13] <veneboy> can you assign an icon to a shell script so that you can see it in the  "Run application" dialog?
[07:14] <dr_willis> matt2292,  ive twiddled and played with vnc for years. :) its a very flexiable tool. but the default setup  under feisty seems to be a little bit bugged. :(
[07:14] <n2diy> DavidCraft_: sudo ifdown ath0   ?
[07:14] <ocha_> din, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27905/
[07:14] <DavidCraft_> n2diy, one sec, i might disconnect.
[07:15] <n2diy> DavidCraft_: roger
[07:15] <specialmoose> curious what input device 169 is
[07:15] <xenex> What program do you guys suggest to play .divx files?
[07:15] <mrigns> specialmoose: wacom
[07:15] <specialmoose> lol why is amarok trying to open that up
[07:15] <specialmoose> i dont have one
[07:16] <matt2292> dr_wilis: ok thanks, i spent a while trying to set it up because i only knew how to get it to work with gnome, and i have no idea right now how to set up vnc to run without x server but still use my default desktop
[07:16] <din> NemesisD: sudo rm /var/run/dhclient* && sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[07:16] <din> try that
[07:16] <din> ocha_: you don't have a default depth defined
[07:16] <din> or resolution
[07:16] <veneboy> xenex: i like mplayer. totem is the default.
[07:16] <mrigns> specialmoose: it's enabled in the xorg.conf
[07:16] <matt2292> dr_willis: i hate how seemingly small and irrelivant errors make you have to start all over again
[07:17] <ocha_> din, how i set that up?
[07:17] <NemesisD> din, still getting a mess of errors
[07:17] <din> ocha_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27907/
[07:18] <din> NemesisD: pastebin them
[07:18] <din> ocha_: check the bottom under Section "Screen"
[07:18] <din> you'll see the added settings
[07:18] <dr_willis> matt2292,  :)  I find that 'vnc4server' works better for me.. It seems to work  'how i expect it to'
[07:18] <din> add them to yours, and restart X
[07:18] <veneboy> xenex: mplayer is nice because you don 't need to install extra codecs. they're all included.
[07:18] <NemesisD> din, im doing this over the phone, is there a way to tell if the device is working/being detected before i explain how pastebin works for him?
[07:18] <specialmoose> well when i click on a song in amarok, it doesnt do anything then the "no mp3 playback support" window pops up and the entire app crashes
[07:18] <dr_willis> matt2292,  it will make a .vnc/xstartup script that you can tewek and run whatever you want to when you spawn 'vncserver'
[07:18] <specialmoose> should i just reinstall it?
[07:19] <veneboy> xenex:there is also xine.
[07:19] <xenex> veneboy, well i was playing divx stuff with vlc and it was fine but it would freeze from time to time
[07:19] <matt2292> ok
[07:19] <xenex> veneboy, and mplayer never works for me unless its the mozilla plugin
[07:19] <NemesisD> din, also he has no network connectivity so pastebin will be difficult
[07:19] <din> NemesisD: sudo dmesg
[07:19] <din> NemesisD: this is true lol
[07:20] <NemesisD> din, nevermind for now, the quitter just said he has to go to sleep
[07:20] <veneboy> xenex: hm... strange. it works ok for me -- feisty fawn. i use just the command line...
[07:20] <din> lol
[07:20] <NemesisD> but im sure ill be back :)
[07:20] <ocha_> din, what about it?
[07:20] <veneboy> xenex: mplayer file.avi
[07:20] <din> sounds like he's having major issues
[07:20] <xenex> veneboy, i'm streaming the divx movies
[07:20] <chaosmystic> can anyone tell me the best Web Design IDE (other then Nvu) for Ubuntu 7.04?
[07:20] <din> ocha_: see the parts i added in the very bottom section
[07:20] <NemesisD> yes
[07:20] <NemesisD> catch you guys later
[07:20] <din> cya
[07:20] <matt2292> dr_willis: would it be easier to replace my installation of xubuntu with ubuntu server and start from there?
[07:21] <specialmoose> hmm
[07:21] <specialmoose> well amarok is buggy for me
[07:21] <veneboy> xenex: where from?
[07:21] <specialmoose> maybe i can wine itunes
[07:21] <specialmoose> :P
[07:21] <dr_willis> matt2292,  i dont see why you need to.
[07:21] <chaosmystic> I got Photoshop 7 to work under WINE
[07:21] <xenex> veneboy, http://divx-042.vo.llnwd.net/stage6vid/1256419.divx
[07:21] <dr_willis> matt2292,  you can run 'vncserver' without X running at all. Ive had a fileserver with no monitor that way for ages...
[07:22] <din> specialmoose: one sec
[07:22] <bruenig> !bluefish | Strangelv
[07:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bluefish - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:22] <ocha_> din, just copy and paste in the xorg.conf
[07:22] <bruenig> !info bluefish | Strangelv
[07:22] <ubotu> strangelv: bluefish: advanced Gtk+ HTML editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.7-1 (feisty), package size 1570 kB, installed size 6724 kB
[07:22] <xenex> veneboy, looks like it is working well in xine
[07:22] <Strangelv> "I believe he'sneding it for Edgy
[07:22] <specialmoose> din, im going to try and reinstall it
[07:22] <din> ocha_: yes
[07:22] <din> specialmoose: you are having soundcard issues
[07:22] <din> specialmoose: try this
[07:22] <specialmoose> nvm, i cant uninstall it ubuntu wont let me lol
[07:23] <din> sudo asoundconf reset-default-card
[07:23] <din> then give it a shot
[07:23] <chaosmystic> Can Bluefish work with AJAX?
[07:23] <matt2292> dr_willis: so should i replace x11vnc with vncserver?
[07:23] <gluttony> where do i need to go get gaim help? i keep getting a connection timeout error
[07:23] <ocha_> din, how i open xorg.conf through terminal?
[07:23] <chaosmystic> vncserver is quicker or you could always setup apache
[07:24] <din> ocha_: you can't use gedit?
[07:24] <krinns> heloo
[07:24] <dr_willis> matt2292,  you can have botyh installed at the same time. I USE vncserver. I dont share the currently running desktop ( thats what x11vnc does)
[07:24] <krinns> any onw works on SRSS
[07:24] <din> gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:24] <krinns> Sunray
[07:24] <ocha_> over xorg.conf? the orginal file?
[07:24] <specialmoose> din, nope
[07:24] <veneboy> xenex: never done that.  I wrote mplayer your url in a terminal and am seeing the stream
[07:24] <din> specialmoose: same errors?
[07:24] <veneboy> xenex: so it's working...
[07:24] <specialmoose> din,  yup
[07:24] <dr_willis> matt2292,  i tend to 'ssh' to the remote box. run vncserver, and then on the local box. run the vncclient i want to connect to it.
[07:24] <din> specialmoose: try it without the sudo
[07:25] <xenex> veneboy, mplayer freezes when i try ;\ also it doesn't play any other video files that i have on my hd
[07:25] <veneboy> xenex: mac farlane stuff.... cool...!
[07:25] <veneboy> xenex: i don't know why... here it's working well.
[07:25] <veneboy> i'm watching it.
[07:26] <dr_willis> night all
[07:26] <veneboy> xenex: ubuntu feisty?
[07:26] <matt2292> dr_willis: ok well i know how to set it up where i can log into a session not already started on the server using a port other than the current screen, is that how i would configure it?
[07:26] <ocha_> din, i think i did it. now what? restart?
[07:26] <xenex> veneboy, yep
[07:26] <specialmoose> din, nope, it wont even let me use its "install mp3 support" because it crashes out
[07:26] <din> ocha yep
[07:26] <Strangelv> "The mainone I've tried so far is Scream, and I don't knowif that does AJAX.  It does have a Javascript IDE, but I've not reinstalled it lately as I had problems before with breaking dependancies (it's very Gnome centric and I'm running KDE)
[07:27] <Strangelv> "Mostly I just used it for the Javascript IDE
[07:27] <matt2292> dr_willis: VNC that is, then start vnc from ssh and then login
[07:27] <chaosmystic> Thanks Strangelv
[07:27] <matt2292> dr_willis: i think it was logging in from XDMCP or something
[07:27] <ocha_> din,  brb
[07:28] <specialmoose> din, so, ubuntu wont let me uninstall it, says something is needing it
[07:29] <chaosmystic> you might try finding a ubuntu friendly version of Aptana
[07:29] <veneboy> bye all. time to sleep.
[07:29] <din> specialmoose: you could try rm -rf ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok but be warned it will completely remove all amarok configuration for your user
[07:30] <ocha_> din, yea...
[07:30] <din> ocha_: looking better?
[07:30] <specialmoose> din, well what could possibly be using amarok in the installer (add/remove) that wouldnt allow me to uninstall it from th ere?
[07:30] <ocha_> din, make, it looks kinda wired. i think i shoudl reinstall my drivers?
[07:30] <Chavao> Hello newbies Ubuntusers
[07:30] <ocha_> din, it looks the same
[07:30] <din> ocha_: go for the nvidia drivers
[07:30] <Strangelv> My problem is that dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh (suggested by Jordan_U) doesn't fix my problem of three FUBAR video modes that I can't get to work or get rid of (640x480, 800x600, and 1024x768) on my 1280x768 LCD display.  If I remove them from the menu they appear anyway and don't work; if I leave them checked they still don't work.  Are there any keywords I should try searching for before filing a bug report?
[07:31] <Strangelv> "They seem hardwired and it doesn't matter whether they're listed in xorg.conf -- you have them whether they work or not
[07:31] <ocha_> nvidia-xconfig -twinview
[07:31] <Strangelv> "My video is S3
[07:32] <matt2292> dr_willis: thanks i think i got it
[07:32] <Strangelv> UniChrome Pro somethingorother
[07:32] <din> ocha_: do you already have the nvidia drivers installed?
[07:32] <din> ocha_: lsmod|grep -i "idia"
[07:33] <dfgas_> compiz fusion is kickarse
[07:34] <channel200> any X11 or gnome experts available? My system just crashed on power failure and now logs out of X11/gnome sessions immediately after login. Any suggestions on cleanup/diagnosis procedures?
[07:34] <Strangelv> Alternatively, does anyone know a way to lock a mode so that no fullscreen application will be able to change the display?
[07:34] <din> channel200: grep "EE" /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[07:35] <Strangelv> could it be a configulation issue?  do you have an older version of xorg.cong, et c?  That's all I can think of
[07:35] <gnychis> how do i restart ALSA?
[07:35] <DavidCraft2> how do I connect to a wireless connection without the network manager applet?
[07:35] <ocha_> din, i did before my xserver failed
[07:35] <Strangelv> You can restart ALSA under System Settings
[07:36] <din> gnychis: sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
[07:36] <Jordan_U> DavidCraft2, iwcofig
[07:36] <ant-> DavidCraft2, iwconfig
[07:36] <din> ocha_: they should still be there
[07:36] <Strangelv> I believe you can also reset ALSA with sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
[07:36] <zcat[1] > mulous
[07:36] <din> in your video card section of xorg.conf change Driver "nv" to Driver "nvidia"
[07:36] <ocha_> i don't it looks really quit, text, and colors are kinda off
[07:36] <channel200> din: I found some results. what next?
[07:36] <ocha_> din, i don't it looks really quit, text, and colors are kinda off
[07:36] <ocha_> din, ill try a reboot
[07:37] <din> ocha ocha ocha *sigh*
[07:37] <channel200> din: some complaints that /dev/input/wacom can't be opened
[07:37] <DavidCraft2> thanks
[07:37] <Chikubu> which nvidia drivers should i get for a geoforce 5200 in a fresh ubuntu install?
[07:37] <Charles_Xavier> Hi, Can you host servers on ubuntu, or is ubuntu not for that purpose? I was thinking of hosting maybe a web server or a IRC server for a few friends
[07:38] <Charles_Xavier> would freebsd be better for servers?
[07:38] <dfgas_> Charles_Xavier, they do make ubuntu server
[07:38] <Charles_Xavier> yes, but is desktop edition good enough
[07:38] <channel200> Charles_Xavier: if you like ubuntu it's just fine for servers
[07:38] <Chikubu> i would imagine any linux can be a server
[07:38] <Charles_Xavier> the regular home redition
[07:38] <Chikubu> including ubuntu
[07:38] <Charles_Xavier> Do i have to use the server edition to host servers?
[07:38] <pyrak> is it a bad idea to reformat my windows partition and reinstall windows with the windows install disc?  will it be extremely difficult to restore grub?
[07:38] <dfgas_> you wouldn't tend to use a desktop version for a server
[07:38] <channel200> Charles_Xavier: no
[07:38] <Jordan_U> Chikubu, Just use restricted driver manager
[07:39] <din> channel200: those are pretty common and most likely not your problem
[07:39] <dfgas_> but you could have it do the same
[07:39] <Charles_Xavier> so if i run a server, would it work pretty much the same
[07:39] <Charles_Xavier> or would the performance drop if im not using server edition
[07:39] <zcat[1] > I always put a GUI on my servers.. makes them easier to admin..
[07:39] <channel200> din: nothing else appears in the log that looks like a problem
[07:39] <dfgas_> Charles_Xavier, no gui
[07:39] <dfgas_> but sure
[07:39] <dfgas_> default install
[07:39] <Charles_Xavier> are you using the server edition?
[07:39] <zcat[1] > and it's not like a swapped-out gdm uses any resources
[07:39] <gluttony> since the gaim room is usless, im gonna ask if anyone here has been having problems with the program?
[07:39] <dfgas_> no
[07:39] <ant-> Charles_Xavier, the server edition just has some added flags to the kernel
[07:39] <Chikubu> ok thnx
[07:40] <dfgas_> Charles_Xavier, i am testing out windows home server for now
[07:40] <Jordan_U> ant-, I am not even sure of that much
[07:40] <ocha_> din, it's back to normal i think
[07:40] <Charles_Xavier> why does everyone say that ubuntu is for noobs
[07:40] <din> channel200: try this, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop. then when you get to a login promt, login and issue the command startx. if it crashes, you will see some errors as to why.
[07:40] <Charles_Xavier> lol
[07:40] <ocha_> din, it looks normal i mean
[07:40] <dfgas_> Charles_Xavier, other than that my mac usually is my file server
[07:40] <ocha_> din, thanks man.  ^^
[07:40] <legalsized2> Hi all, I'm trying to get 6.06 LTS to work as a web server. I installed ISPConfig. Somewhere I've seem to have blocked my Firefox from working. Is there a firewall setting that won't let me out, that blocks port 80 or something?
[07:40] <pyrak> gluttony, i have problems with its UI, i use meebo.com and xchat instead, hope that helps
[07:40] <din> ocha_: you will still need to change to the nvidia driver in xorg.conf
[07:40] <zcat[1] > desktop kernels have pre-empt to make them more responsive...
[07:40] <din> and you are welcome
[07:40] <Charles_Xavier> every forum i went on, everyone flames at me if i tell them im using ubuntu, they keep repeating like 100 times its for noobs etc etc
[07:40] <zcat[1] > that's basically all afaik..
[07:40] <ocha_> din, how?
[07:41] <dfgas_> Charles_Xavier, then ask them why it is number 1
[07:41] <din> in the video card section of your xorg.conf, change Driver "nv" to Driver "nvidia"
[07:41] <Jordan_U> Charles_Xavier, ubuntuforums.org
[07:41] <din> and restart X :)
[07:41] <dfgas_> :D
[07:41] <ocha_> din, brb
[07:41] <din> k
[07:41] <gluttony> pyrak, my problem is my connection is timing out, and in windows i get socket error 10060
[07:42] <Charles_Xavier> be honest though, im asking a question that will help me, in your opinions, would you use ubuntu or freebsd for servers
[07:42] <specialmoose> so why is it that rhytmebox and all other mp3 players work but amarok doesnt? :(
[07:42] <legalsized2> Hi all, I'm trying to get 6.06 LTS to work as a web server. I installed ISPConfig. Somewhere I've seem to have blocked my Firefox from working. Is there a firewall setting that won't let me out, what can I check to find out?
[07:42] <Chikubu> what is your server or servers going to do first of all
[07:42] <din> specialmoose: did you try removing that directory?
[07:42] <Charles_Xavier> IRC
[07:42] <Charles_Xavier> and web server
[07:43] <dfgas_> Charles_Xavier, i don't know freebsd so i would use ubuntu, i have been using ubuntu for a long tim
[07:43] <dfgas_> etime
[07:43] <specialmoose> din, amarok?
[07:43] <ant-> legalsized2, iptables
[07:43] <eboyjr> What's the C:\Program Files of Ubuntu?
[07:43] <Chikubu> what load are you looking at, if its just light http and chat really anything will do
[07:43] <Charles_Xavier> I'm on a 100mbit line from work, so i can basically host any server on earth, but im just looking for a stable linux that works best with servers... any suggestions?
[07:43] <legalsized2> How do I reset my iptables?
[07:43] <ant-> legalsized2, man iptables
[07:43] <din> specialmoose: yes. rm -rf ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/ it will completely destroy your amarok config however
[07:43] <legalsized2> thanks, off to try it
[07:43] <pyrak> i formatted an external HD with ext3 and when i connect it it says i dont have permission to view it... how do i fix this?
[07:43] <Charles_Xavier> pyrak,
[07:43] <Charles_Xavier> heres the answer
[07:43] <DavidCraft2> hey I changed my mac and now I cannot get a wireless connection, what is going wrong?
[07:44] <specialmoose> din, lol could careless about the config, doesnt even work to start with
[07:44] <din> you'll have to re-set it up
[07:44] <din> heh
[07:44] <din> specialmoose: well it may work
[07:44] <Chikubu> im still pondering the idea that an os is seperate from a server...i guess thats somewhat true
[07:44] <Charles_Xavier> pyrak : go to terminal and type: sudo chown -R /media/HDNAME
[07:44] <din> worth a shot if it doesn't work to begin with
[07:44] <Charles_Xavier> replace hd name with ur hd name
[07:44] <specialmoose> din, cant i just uninstall from synaptic package manager?
[07:44] <ocha_> din, driver section?
[07:44] <din> how is that going to make it work?
[07:44] <din> :)
[07:44] <nirmal> my desktop effect is not enabling
[07:44] <dfgas_>  am out later
[07:44] <Charles_Xavier> pyrak : go to terminal and type: sudo chown -R linux07 /media/HDNAME
[07:44] <Charles_Xavier> or whatever ur user is
[07:45] <Chikubu> Charles_Xavier: your making to big a fuss over the linux version, they are all linux and all handle being a server
[07:45] <pyrak> Charles_Xavier, well i've been going sudo nautilus and changing the permissions for "other"
[07:45] <pyrak> but it seems to forget each time i take the drive our
[07:45] <pyrak> out*
[07:45] <eboyjr> nirmal: Your graphics card must not be good enough.
[07:45] <Jamesinator> How do I configure Evolution Mail to use a proxy?
[07:45] <Charles_Xavier> pyrak,
[07:45] <din> ocha_: Section "Device"
[07:45] <Charles_Xavier> add it into fstab
[07:45] <Flannel> pyrak: gksu nautilus, not sudo nautilus.
[07:45] <din> you'll see Driver "nv"
[07:45] <Charles_Xavier> no use sudo
[07:45] <pyrak> flannel, oh, whats the difference?
[07:45] <Charles_Xavier> Flannel is trying to hack you, dont listen to him
[07:45] <Charles_Xavier> :x
[07:45] <Flannel> Charles_Xavier: no.  gksu for graphical apps.
[07:45] <pyrak> flannel, and is gksu diff from gksudo?
[07:45] <dfgas_> pyrak, chmod 777 /media/blah -R   with give evryone read and write access for all files on that harddrive
[07:45] <ocha_> din, it's set to that by default
[07:46] <Flannel> pyrak: not after dapper, no.
[07:46] <ocha_> din, anything else?
[07:46] <din> ocha_: make sure opengl is working
[07:46] <Flannel> Charles_Xavier: If you're not going to be helpful, don't.
[07:46] <pyrak> flannel, whats the fidd between sudo and gksudo?
[07:46] <ocha_> din, how i do that?
[07:46] <din> i'd run glxinfo |grep -i render in a terminal
[07:46] <pyrak> flannel *diff
[07:46] <din> if yes then you are good to go
[07:46] <specialmoose> does itunes work in wine?
[07:46] <ant-> !gksudo
[07:46] <ubotu> If you need to run graphical applications as root, use  gksudo , as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Avoid ever using  sudo <GUI-application>  See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo for more info
[07:46] <Flannel> pyrak: gksu is for graphical apps.  It sets up the environment more appropriately for graphical apps, if you use sudo, you sometimes run into permission problems later (stuff in ~ owned by root)
[07:46] <specialmoose> seriously :P
[07:47] <DavidCraft2> I have told it through iwconfig to connect and it acts as though it is going to connect but I do not get an IP.  Any ideas?
[07:47] <Jamesinator> specialmoose: You should check Wine's AppDB at: http://appdb.winehq.org/
[07:47] <krinns> hi alll
[07:47] <ant-> DavidCraft2, dhcp?
[07:48] <krinns> when i download emails attatchements from evolution
[07:48] <DavidCraft2> it would appear that that is the issure however I believe that that is all set up
[07:48] <DavidCraft2> this just mysteriusly happened when I changed my mac
[07:48] <krinns> say for eg marking paln.doc it save it as marketing%plan.doc
[07:49] <krinns> any idea it wont recognize space
[07:49] <krinns> any way to solve this
[07:49] <gnychis> whats the proper way to install flash player for firefox so that its the newest version without the sound delay?
[07:49] <pyrak> flannel, one more question, is it possible to make a backup copy of my hd including all system files while im booted from the hard drive?
[07:49] <Flannel> !backup | pyrak
[07:49] <ubotu> pyrak: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning
[07:50] <eboyjr> Where's the Program Files of Ubuntu? For example, the searchplugin folder for Firefox.
[07:50] <pyrak> flannel, yeah ive tried a few of those and theyre all missing features/too confusing
[07:50] <Flannel> pyrak: yeah.  You'll mount your HD, then backup the [mounted folder] , which will backup your HD.  You can also backup your HD while running off the HD
[07:50] <Lekrem> eboyjr: /usr/bin
[07:50] <pyrak> ubuntuhomebackup seems like a promising project tho
[07:50] <specialmoose> $5 paypal to whoever can get my amarok to work, i just want a damn mp3 player that works with an equalizer... that too much to ask?
[07:50] <pyrak> i mean homeuserbackup
[07:50] <pyrak> i think
[07:51] <Jamesinator> specialmoose: Why, what's wrong with it?
[07:51] <Lekrem> eboyjr the /usr contains all the user apps and /bin is for system apps
[07:51] <specialmoose> Jamesinator, mp3s dont play and the program crashes
[07:51] <hypo> Hello, I was wondering can CIV IV work with wine?
[07:51] <Jamesinator> specialmoose: Can you query me and we'll talk further?
[07:51] <ocha_> din, ya there man?
[07:51] <din> yep
[07:51] <nj786> what program do i use to to copy a cd?
[07:51] <nj786> make a copy
[07:51] <autumn> any good way to configure a joystick? I just got a ps2 controller that was working fine and now is all glitchy
[07:52] <ant-> hypo, appsdb.winehq.com i think
[07:52] <channel200> din: It looks as though I'm OK if I create a new session and make it the default.
[07:52] <eboyjr> Lekrem: Where could I find brief explanations of the folders of Linux? But I can't find Firefox's searchplugins folder.
[07:52] <ocha_> din, how i check the opengl?
[07:53] <din> ocha i'd run glxinfo |grep -i render in a terminal
[07:53] <din> channel200: cool :)
[07:53] <channel200> din: there is an error  unable to open file '/usr/share/apps/kxkb/ubuntu.xmodmap for reading
[07:53] <channel200> din: any idea what that means?
[07:53] <din> channel200: probably the permissions are wrong for it, or it doesn't exist at all
[07:53] <ant-> hypo, its .org
[07:54] <Flannel> eboyjr: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/index.html  also http://www.secguru.com/files/linux_file_structure.jpg
[07:54] <channel200> din: also an error that a dbus socket can't be opened
[07:54] <ocha_> din, how do i run that command int he line?it says it doesn't worek? ill try sudo
[07:54] <eboyjr> Thanks, Flannel.
[07:54] <legalsized> anyone here had experience with ISPConfig? I've got basic questions.
[07:54] <ocha_> din, --------------------------------------------------------
[07:54] <ocha_> din, thats all i got
[07:54] <Lekrem> eboyjr: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/pdf/ubuntu/C/desktopguide.pdf
[07:55] <channel200> does anyone know if the bulletproofX11 project will eliminate this sort of problem?
[07:55] <din> ocha glxinfo |grep -i direct
[07:55] <din> try that one
[07:55] <din> channel200: does X run though?
[07:55] <ocha_> din, "Yes"
[07:55] <din> ocha_: you're good to go dude.
[07:55] <ocha_> din, hey, one more question
[07:55] <din> sure :)
[07:55] <eboyjr> Lekrem: Thanks
[07:56] <ocha_> din, it canshow the titlebar (where the title of the window and maxius, minius, and close) like it can't show the theme of beryl
[07:56] <Lekrem> eboyjr: page 7
[07:56] <ocha_> din, it canshow the titlebar (where the title of the window and maxius, minius, and close) like it can't show the theme of beryl
[07:56] <channel200> din: I spoke too soon
[07:56] <ocha_> din, it can't show it
[07:56] <channel200> din: failsafe gnome session is ok
[07:57] <din> channel200: it's a gnome problem then
[07:57] <channel200> din: but I need to fix or create the default gnome session
[07:57] <channel200> din: gnome generates logs, I presume?
[07:57] <din> ocha_: run metacity
[07:58] <pras2k> hibernate /suspend not working with edgy in d620
[07:58] <legalsized> anyone here had experience with ISPConfig? I've got basic questions.
[07:58] <gdb> channel200: if you need to reset gnome for your account, delete your .gnome* .metacity and .nautilus directories
[07:58] <ocha_> din, but i wanna use the beryl and it's theme
[07:58] <ocha_> din, i don't know the command line for it
[07:58] <din> ocha_: ah, sorry. try running beryl-manager
[07:58] <varka> !anyone | legalsized
[07:58] <ubotu> legalsized: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[07:59] <channel200> gdb: will I lose panel settings?
[07:59] <clever_> how would i modify the livecd so it will allways try to boot into a persistant mode?
[07:59] <nj786> what program copys cds?
[08:00] <ocha_> din, thanks man
[08:00] <din> np dude
[08:01] <varka> nj786: graveman, gnomebaker, k3b, ...
[08:01] <nj786> varka: which is the best out of those 3?
[08:01] <zcat[1] > nj786: right-click on CD icons, one of the menu options it copying it
[08:01] <gdb> channel200: Yes.  You indicated interest in resetting gnome to a default state.  If you like, simply back up those directories and then see what happens.  If you don't like the results, move them back into place.
[08:01] <gnychis> in nm-applet, where there should be images of maybe secured networks next to the network name... i get little boxes with a red X in them, what am i missing to apt-get ?
[08:02] <din> nj786: that's a relative question
[08:02] <din> it depends on who you ask.
[08:02] <din> everyone has their favorites.
[08:02] <varka> nj786: most featurerich is k3b but its kde so you have to install a lot of libs you may not need in addition to run it under a gnome environment
[08:02] <legalsized> It says "Please go to the URL of your ISPConfig system http://www.domain.tld:81. My domain is not set up for some reason. would the ip address work <IP_ADDRESS>:81?
[08:02] <gdb> To burn CDs, I use "right click in gnome and select 'write to disc'"
[08:03] <nj786> zcat, wait repeat that?
[08:03] <nj786> zcat, i want to copy a cd
[08:04] <LuCypher> hi
[08:04] <Ademan> is nautilus being REALLY flaky for anyone else lately? (might have been after a recent update i don't know)
[08:05] <gdb> Ademan: I don't believe there has been an update to Nautilus.
[08:05] <geekkit> Ademan: not particularly...there are a couple of bugs in it (turn on hidden file display but it doesnt update, turn off hidden file display and it does) but nothing horrible
[08:05] <Ademan> hrm, it's been actually crashing on me
[08:05] <channel200> gdb: that worked
[08:06] <geekkit> nautilus is actually quite cool and beats the crap out of windoze explorer...especially with the rollover mp3 files and it plays them
[08:06] <gdb> channel200: Very good. :-)
[08:06] <Ademan> and what's more, if i turn on hidden files, go into .wine   and then try to right click ANYTHING in that instance of nautilus most of the context menu is greyed out
[08:06] <d4rkmonkey> Hi, I bought an HP Compaq 6710b which wasn't compatable with Feisty (something to do with the video card). I was looking into the HP Compaq 6715b, which is the same laptop except it has a different graphics card and uses a different chipset. Does anyone know how AMD processors are in Notebooks? I remember they used to be bad because of heating issues, but I don't know about them now. Also can anyone help me f
[08:06] <d4rkmonkey> igure out if the comp will be compatable with feisty? The exact model I'm looking at can bee seen: http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/ca/en/sm/WF06b/12139188-12139280-12139280-12139280-12434660-79819571-80292545.html
[08:06] <geekkit> Ademan: i havent had it crash on me. weird
[08:06] <d4rkmonkey> *figure
[08:06] <Ademan> geekkit: it's only been really recently
[08:06] <nj786> varka, can you show me how to copy a cd(make a copy of it)
[08:06] <Ademan> i really don't know what's up but it's bugging me
[08:07] <channel200> gdb: I'm using the mailnotification panel applet. does it seem likely that it or some other dbus process crashed with an open file handle, preventing it from running?
[08:07] <Falkman> heya
[08:07] <d4rkmonkey> ?
[08:08] <waudette> Using sudo apt-get install how do I install Java or Java for Firefox on Umbutu's Desktip 32bit OS version of 7.x?
[08:09] <Flannel> !java | waudette
[08:09] <ubotu> waudette: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[08:09] <Falkman> When I try to install Ubuntu, I always get errors on the disk. I found out that for some reason I have to burn the Ubuntu .iso to a DVD-RW, anyone know why this is? Right now I really want to install Ubuntu but i don't have a DVD burner.
[08:09] <waudette> Flannel: thx!
[08:09] <gdb> sun-java6-* in fiesty
[08:09] <d4rkmonkey> Falkman what version are you trying to install?
[08:10] <Jordan_U> Falkman, Maybe your drive or burner has problems with CDR's ?
[08:10] <Falkman> d4rkmonkey: 7.04
[08:10] <d4rkmonkey> I burnt myself a CD of 7.04
[08:10] <Jordan_U> Falkman, Have you tried a pressed CD?
[08:10] <d4rkmonkey> you don't need a DVD...
[08:10] <pyrak> ok so i have this usb drive that has just a few megs of files in it, but system monitor and apparently everything else about my system thinks its 60% full (there used to be other stuff on it), cus it wont let me a bunch more stuff on (the drive is formatted ext3 btw)
[08:10] <tm_> tomasz
[08:10] <Falkman> Jordan_U: I've never head of a pressed cd, what is it?
[08:11] <tm_> ulenka48
[08:11] <Jordan_U> Falkman, A mass produced CD, like the ones from shipit
[08:11] <Falkman> Oh, no.
[08:11] <d4rkmonkey> The only thing about the ones from shipit, it takes really long for it to get to you
[08:11] <d4rkmonkey> I just burnt my own CD cus I was tired of waiting
[08:11] <Jordan_U> Falkman, Have you tried using a different burner or reader?
[08:12] <Jordan_U> Falkman, Or run the integrity test on the CD?
[08:12] <sean_> can anyone tell me if it's possible to run the acronis true image boot cd within ubuntu (like install it to hard drive)?  just trying to get around all the processes that the std hard disk install has
[08:12] <Falkman> Yes, I've used two different ones, it seems like the only one that works is my one on my laptop, but currently I have no OS's on my laptop because I want to install Ubuntu.
[08:12] <Falkman> Integrity Test? Is that the test at the main menu?
[08:13] <Falkman> When your trying to install Ubuntu?
[08:13] <Jordan_U> Falkman, Yes
[08:13] <Falkman> I get like 1 error.
[08:13] <Falkman> But it must be a big one cause I can never get far with installation.
[08:13] <Jordan_U> Falkman, Then that is most likely the problem
[08:14] <d4rkmonkey> Hi, I bought an HP Compaq 6710b which wasn't compatable with Feisty (something to do with the video card).

[08:14] <Falkman> Buy, how can I figure out what the problem is?
[08:14] <daviddiaz> hi,  how do you make an n with a tilde on top of it in Ubuntu
[08:14] <Falkman> It isn't a problem with CD-R's because i have Gparted on a cd and it works fine.
[08:14] <daviddiaz> I know in windows you do Alt 165
[08:14] <bruenig> d4rkmonkey, get nvidia
[08:14] <daviddiaz> but i tried it here and it won't work
[08:15] <d4rkmonkey> Its a laptop, I'm not replacing graphics card...
[08:15] <Flannel> d4rkmonkey: Check out the alternate CD
[08:15] <Jordan_U> Falkman, Probably a problem with the drive you are writing or reading from or the CD
[08:15] <d4rkmonkey> I read about a guy having exact same problem
[08:15] <bruenig> d4rkmonkey, ok if you want sucky ati, then go for it, it will be hell to setup
[08:15] <d4rkmonkey> alternate CD runs and installs but after the install boots into text
[08:15] <d4rkmonkey> bruenig, its not me wanting a specific graphics card
[08:16] <Jordan_U> Falkman, If you use the minimal CD it will grab almost everything from the internet so there is less likelyhood of a problem
[08:16] <d4rkmonkey> its me wanting a laptop
[08:16] <bruenig> d4rkmonkey, I am telling you the graphics card won't work
[08:16] <Falkman> I didn't know there was a minimal cd for ubuntu.
[08:16] <d4rkmonkey> well maybe you should try to do it without coming across like an asshole.
[08:16] <Flannel> !minimal | Falkman
[08:16] <ubotu> Falkman: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[08:16] <Falkman> But, does the minimal cd still install the Drivers needed for wireless intenet?
[08:16] <bruenig> what an asshat
[08:17] <bruenig> d4rkmonkey, go with that, it looks, good if you want a printer, I recommend a canon
[08:17] <d4rkmonkey> ...
[08:17] <d4rkmonkey> You do realize, you're only further proving my point?
[08:17] <bruenig> canon's are awesome get those
[08:17] <ponty> anyone use seahorse?
[08:17] <ryancr> bruenig: hey canons are great, i have one running with Feisty and it works perfectly
[08:18] <Falkman> Ok, I'm downloading the mini.iso, I'll inform you if there are any more problems.
[08:18] <bruenig> d4rkmonkey, or an epson maybe, canon or epson
[08:18] <ryancr> some guy has even setup a repo with the drivers
[08:18] <Jordan_U> Falkman, The minimal CD installs the same system that the LiveCD does, you may or may not need to be connected through ethernet though ( if your wireless card requires proprietary drivers I don't know if it will work )
[08:19] <l_r> hello
[08:19] <d4rkmonkey> hi
[08:19] <Falkman> Jordan: When I install ubuntu, my intenet works right away, so I think it will work? Or should i not risk it and just hardwire my comp right away?
[08:19] <l_r> i am searching for debs for vmware-player 2. any idea?
[08:20] <Jamesinator> How do I configure Evolution Mail to use a proxy?
[08:20] <Jordan_U> Falkman, You can try wireless, if it doesn't work ( or if you don't think your wireless is robust enough to stay connected during the install ) run wired
[08:21] <Jordan_U> l_r, It is available in the repos
[08:21] <ponty> i'm trying to delete 88 keys that were inadvertantly added in seahorse when i added a public key of someone who had his key signed by a bunch of people.  but everytime i try to delete them, seahorse just hangs
[08:21] <helmi> guys what GUI IRC-Client do you prefer?
[08:21] <l_r> Jordan_U, which one? i can't see vmware player 2
[08:21] <helmi> (gnome)
[08:21] <Jordan_U> l_r, Oh, sorry, didn't notice the 2
[08:22] <l_r> it would be nice to have 2 as well as soon as possible

[08:22] <eboyjr> When you do a search in the File Browser, is there an easy way to make it so that it doesn't search in \windows?
[08:23] <Jordan_U> Falkman, I would assume so, but I have always used it wired
[08:23] <Chikub1> ok i dropped offline and dont know if i got a replay so ill re-ask...i enabled the restricted drivers for my nvida card.....this allowed me to enable desktop effects but what i really want is to go into higher resolution......anyone know which driver i need for geoforce 5200 card???
[08:23] <Falkman> Jordan: Ok
[08:24] <neonlinux> does anyone know of a command that allows me to turn off my laptop screen?
[08:24] <Jordan_U> !xconfig | Chikub1 Choose "nvidia" when asked, not "nv"

[08:24] <neonlinux> i have the function keys on the kboard.. but they only turn off the back light
[08:24] <bruenig> Chikub1, sudo nvidia-settings, change the resolution in there
[08:24] <orbisvicis> !find lsdvd
[08:24] <bruenig> or I guess gksudo nvidia-settings

[08:25] <rockets> Anybody having trouble with the US repositories?
[08:25] <eboyjr> When you do a search in the File Browser, is there an easy way to make it so that it doesn't search in \windows?
[08:26] <bruenig> rockets, yes change them
[08:26] <rockets> bruenig: ?
[08:26] <bruenig> eboyjr, don't repeat, I didn't know it searches in \windows
[08:26] <bruenig> rockets, change your mirror
[08:26] <bruenig> eboyjr, what is
[08:26] <bruenig> \windows
[08:26] <rockets> i get it but why
[08:27] <someone2005> I was...
[08:27] <bruenig> rockets, if you are having trouble with us repositories, seems logical to change them
[08:27] <Chikub1> does that require a reboot
[08:27] <bruenig> or you can keep them and still have trouble with them
[08:27] <bruenig> I guess up to you
[08:27] <someone2005> seems to be work now...

[08:29] <nixternal> Charles_Xavier: count this as your warning on that one...ops do nothing more than ban and kick you for stuff like that, ops are here to control the channel...and of course provide support when possible, but only use the !ops if there is a dire need of channel control. Thank you
[08:29] <Charles_Xavier> i did not know...
[08:29] <Amaranth> Charles_Xavier: sudo mkdir /media/sda1 && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 && sudo chroot /media/sda1
[08:30] <eboyjr> defrysk: I don't know how to specify the other partition and I just wanted to do a quick search. Hmm...
[08:30] <Amaranth> Charles_Xavier: then run `nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf` and change your driver from 'nvidia' to 'nv'
[08:30] <Falkmana> ok, Now when I try the minimal cd all it has is a blinking cursor and its not doing nething...Then it goes to my LILO boot menu.
[08:30] <bruenig> assuming those are the partitions and whatnot
[08:30] <Charles_Xavier> ty 1 sec
[08:30] <Falkmana> Could It be a problem that i have LILO installed on the MBR?
[08:31] <Amaranth> bruenig: well, he doesn't have a windows install and there is no more hda so... :)
[08:31] <defrysk> eboyjr, umount /media/whatever
[08:31] <bruenig> oh I didn't read the no windows

[08:31] <eboyjr> defrysk: then how do I mount? Is it        "mount /media/whatever"          ?
[08:31] <zerokill88> can anyone tell me why my internet connection is running a little slow?i have a good wireless connection and i have never had this problem?
[08:32] <Amaranth> zerokill88: do you have a good password on your wireless?
[08:32] <orbisvicis> !dvdrecover
[08:32] <defrysk> eboyjr, easyest way is simply a sudo mount -a ,
[08:32] <defrysk> without the ,
[08:32] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dvdrecover - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:32] <eboyjr> defrysk: ok
[08:32] <geekkit> a good linux game site is at: http://gaming.gwos.org/news.php specifically: http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Native_Games
[08:33] <someone2005> once I have a a.out bin file whats the best way to run that file ?
[08:33] <Amaranth> ugh don't point people to gwos
[08:33] <defrysk> eboyjr, but af course you can also specify a path
[08:33] <zerokill88> Amaranth its the default router number
[08:33] <TTilus> someone2005: just type ./a.out
[08:33] <orbisvicis> how can i recover a dvd's toc ? ... it cant be read by lsdvd
[08:33] <Amaranth> zerokill88: so you have no security on your router, i'm guessing someone else is using it
[08:33] <TTilus> someone2005: to console
[08:33] <someone2005> thanks...
[08:33] <Jamesinator> How do I configure Evolution Mail to use a proxy?
[08:33] <bruenig> zerokill88, you can get wireshark and monitor the packets, see if anything is going across it
[08:34] <Jordan_U> Falkman, Having lilo installed shouldn't hurt anything, did you burn the CD at a slow speed and check it for defects?
[08:34] <bruenig> my neighbor has an admin admin linksys setup, it is awesome
[08:34] <Jamesinator> Lol bruenig, where do you live?
[08:34] <Plantain> Hey all
[08:34] <Jordan_U> bruenig, I have a squid proxy, you can have fun with freeloaders :)
[08:35] <bruenig> I am the freeloader
[08:35] <Falkmana> I burned the cd at 4x
[08:35] <someone2005> I like that fun ,quick and easy...
[08:35] <Falkmana> But, how do i check for defects?
[08:35] <Plantain> I'm using NVIDIA Twinview with nvidia-settings, but I cannot seem to get my internal laptop screen to be the 'main' screen (The other one always has menubar/loginscreen etc
[08:35] <bruenig> I completely disabled my routers wireless and just use theirs especially considering the fact that they have a connection 5 times mine
[08:35] <bruenig> in terms of speed
[08:36] <Remotes_90> good morning guys
[08:36] <Jamesinator> Don't get careless bruenig, sometimes they aren't as stupid as they look. Once, RIGHT after I plugged in a new router one of my neighbors started using it... Dsniff did wonders for me that night. :D
[08:36] <Flannel> Falkmana: Its on the boot menu for the CD
[08:37] <mobutu> when i connect my external usb hard drive i get this error:
[08:37] <mobutu> usb 1-1: device not accepting address 9, error -71
[08:37] <mobutu> what am i doing wrong ?
[08:37] <zerokill88> Amaranth i dont think someone is using my line. bruenig yes i shall use that to see if i do have someone
[08:37] <bruenig> Jamesinator, I monitored it once for about an hour and the only thing that ever went across it were tivo packets
[08:37] <Amaranth> zerokill88: check the DHCP client list in your router configuration
[08:37] <TTilus> Remotes_90: good EEST morning to you too  :)
[08:37] <bruenig> so I am not sure they even use it much for web browsing and whatnot
[08:38] <Jamesinator> Still, you should use a VPN or something similar. It doesn't pay to be careless.
[08:38] <waudette> Flannel: It took me a bit, but that link was very helpful in getting java installed.  It is now working in Firefox.  Thank you again.
[08:38] <Jordan_U> bruenig, Invasion of privacy much?
[08:38] <lmc_phx> when I lived in my apartment I would unhide and unsecure my wireless just so I could have some fun.
[08:38] <zerokill88> Amarath k i will do that also. what do i look for?
[08:38] <bruenig> Jordan_U, there is nothing illegal with the monitoring, I think perhaps the connecting is illegal though
[08:39] <bruenig> not sure on that
[08:39] <TTilus> lmc_phx: you mean bastard!  :D
[08:39] <Jordan_U> bruenig, legal != correct
[08:39] <Jordan_U> lmc_phx, I agree, squid proxy + imagemagic = fun :)
[08:39] <waudette> I've loaded Umbutu 7.x to my system in 386 mode and I noticed that it recognizes fewer devices than it found in the 64bit OS.  How do I find linux drivers for my ASUS M2V motherboard with ATI 1950GT 512MB Video Card?
[08:39] <bruenig> Jordan_U, well the tivo packets didn't have any information on them, or if they did I didn't look at it, I just read the little thing that said it was from tivo
[08:40] <lmc_phx> well I never did anything mean, I just wanted to have a look-see. ( :
[08:41] <Falkmana> Jordan: Thats not the problem, the problem is getting to the menu in the first place
[08:41] <Falkmana> I cant even get to the menu that says install, check for defects, etc...

[08:47] <sagarp> where can i find the decode-dimms perl script? i can't find it after installing lm-sensors
[08:47] <bruenig> krinns, there is a probably an option in evolution for this

[08:48] <krinns> where
[08:49] <bruenig> krinns, don't know, check out the menus

[08:52] <cupp1> Is it better than the older versions of Gaim?
[08:52] <bruenig> same pretty much
[08:52] <krinns> yup much better
[08:52] <bruenig> same thing, just looks a bit different
[08:52] <waudette> bruenig: Thanks for you help last night.  I got the 386 version installed today.
[08:52] <krinns> bruenig can u find out some thing in evolution
[08:52] <waudette> bruenig: 64bit was causing me some troubles... just to jog your memory.
[08:53] <unimatrix9> hello all
[08:53] <bruenig> krinns, I don't have evolution installed nor have I ever used it, but there must be something in evolution which is telling it to rename spaces with %
[08:53] <bruenig> krinns, I doubt something like that would be compiled into the code, it would only make sense for it to be an option
[08:54] <krinns> true

[09:03] <sluimers> google tells me it is.. a little
[09:03] <PurpZeY> sluimers: let me look into it, just a sec.
[09:04] <Plantain> Okay, with a little hackery I've now got both screens working, but the original problem that made me hack up my xorg.conf was TwinView selects the wrong screen as my main screen
[09:04] <Plantain> How might I choose one screen or the other as the 'main' screen?
[09:04] <lmc_phx> well anyway. ctrl+alt+f1 will get you a terminal
[09:04] <bruenig> that isn't exactly a terminal
[09:05] <bruenig> I mean you cant launch graphical apps from it
[09:05] <lmc_phx> its not?
[09:05] <bruenig> which seems to be his problem
[09:05] <bruenig> or what he is trying to do
[09:05] <Plantain> No, I've reset my xorg.conf now
[09:05] <Plantain> all is well
[09:05] <lmc_phx> right, but since x is "borked", hes not going to be loading anything graphical anyway.
[09:05] <Plantain> except the screen I want as my 'main' screen, isn't
[09:05] <Plantain> x is no longer borked, I got a terminal and fixed my error
[09:05] <bruenig> lmc_phx, no it was loading, just not properly, but whatever all is moot
[09:06] <lmc_phx> what do you mean by screen?
[09:06] <Plantain> lmc_phx: I've got two screens, a dual screen setup
, okay
[09:06] <lmc_phx> bruenig, right you are
[09:06] <lmc_phx> Plantain, oh, I see, I have no skills in that area. sorry

[09:14] <orbisvicis> does ubuntu have large filesystem support, for files over 2gigs ?
[09:15] <orbisvicis> "vobcopy ... (needs large file support (LFS))"
[09:15] <alecwh> What do I need to download to start making Python programs? What editors can I use? Are there good tutorials for LInux programmers (for python)?
[09:15] <Nutubuntu> orbisvicis,  that shouldn't depend on ubuntu but on your filesystem, I think
[09:15] <kahfei> after install gparted, and can see the lvm partition, but couldn't mount it.
[09:15] <kha1i1> the live cd locks up and runs realllll slow when running thru vmware.  the window locks up a lot.  also , i know its not a cpu/ram issue as its not touching the cpu or ram at all. its reading from the mounted image but only infrequently.. any ideas?
[09:16] <orbisvicis> hm hows ext3 with LFS ?
[09:16] <PurpZeY> missy85: run 'alsamixer' then adjust it
[09:16] <Nutubuntu> alecwh,  I can't answer all of those from personal experience but I am a big fan of the bluefish editor
[09:16] <alecwh> for Python?
[09:16] <kahfei> I read i here http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountlinux on the steps to modify /etc/fstab
[09:16] <r4b> wikipedia has a nice run down of filesystems and their file size limitations
[09:16] <kahfei> but still not working?
 nope, doesn't work
[09:16] <kahfei> anyone has any ideal?
 It can't find my printer
[09:17] <PurpZeY> sluimers: Have you tried taking out the driver, disconnecting the printer, reinstalling the driver and rebooting with the printer present?
[09:17] <PurpZeY> sluimers: I mean, it seems weird...that it wouldn't see the printer at all
[09:17] <Nutubuntu> alecwh,  it has syntax highlighting for a long list of languages, incl python
[09:17] <orbisvicis> ok ext3 looks good
[09:17] <Jordan_U> kahfei, In general don't trust blogs, especially when there are instructions on the official wiki ( wiki.ubuntu.com ). What file system?
[09:17] <kha1i1> text based installation from the cd anyone? known issue with installing in vmare 6
[09:17] <kha1i1> ?
[09:17] <alecwh> ok. What do I need to install to start executing ruby? And can someone link me to a tutorial?
[09:18] <PurpZeY> !ruby
[09:18] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ruby - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:18] <kha1i1> i freeze during install
[09:18] <r4b> !nvidia
[09:18] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:18] <PurpZeY> alecwh: never heard of ruby......not confusing it for beryl ?
[09:18] <smultron> how do i connect to my WPA WiFi network in Feisty? i've tried the wpa_supplicant tutorial, but i'm getting errors
 I'll try
[09:18] <alecwh> Sorry, I meant Python. XD
[09:18] <PurpZeY> smultron: what chipset?
[09:18] <alecwh> It's late. :P
[09:18] <kahfei> Hi alecwh, try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RubyOnRails
[09:19] <hanseatic> smulltron network-manager should take care of that
[09:19] <smultron> PurpZey: acx?
[09:19] <alecwh> No, I don't want to Learn RoR. I'm more interested in Python.
[09:19] <PurpZeY> smultron: what make of card and model?
[09:19] <Jordan_U> alecwh, I recommend dive into python
[09:19] <smultron> D-Link DWL-520+
[09:19] <anothrguitarist> Has anyone installed Ubuntu on their PS3, and if so, was it difficult?
[09:19] <alecwh> What is that? a book?
[09:19] <hanseatic> how do i setup a second graphics card
[09:19] <Jordan_U> alecwh, Yes
[09:19] <hanseatic> ?
[09:19] <lmc_phx> I am new to it also, but go here, www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/20/rails.html good tutorial and download aptana. very nice ide
[09:20] <smultron> PurpZeY: I used ndiswrapper to get it working
[09:20] <alecwh> Ok, great. I'm a PHP/CSS/XHTML user, but I don't know ANYTHING about Python.
[09:20] <r4b> anyone have any ideas on the nvidia install weirdness with aptitude
[09:20] <Nutubuntu> Trying to configure X to get 1024x768 or better on my Dell M990 monitor. Video card is an onboard Nvidia; running the nv driver. I've got only 800x600 available after running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ... could use a hand.
[09:21] <PurpZeY> smultron: Got it...I am looking at the forums on the issue...
[09:21] <ziroday> !fixres | Nutubuntu
[09:21] <ubotu> Nutubuntu: 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
[09:21] <alecwh> Jordan_U, what do I need to install to start running Python on my machine.
[09:21] <kahfei> alecwh, you can read dive into python here http://www.diveintopython.org/toc/index.html
[09:21] <avis> what is the channel for ubuntu 7.0 alpha 2 ?
[09:21] <Nutubuntu> r4b weirdness?
[09:21] <Nutubuntu> ziroday,  thanks :)
[09:21] <avis> 7.1
[09:21] <Jordan_U> alecwh, Nothing, a lot of Ubuntu's utilities are written in python so it is available in the default install, just run "python" in a terminal
[09:21] <alecwh> ok. What do I need to run Python itself?
[09:22] <magnetron> avis: there is no ubuntu 7.0 or 7.1 . do you mean 7.04?
[09:22] <smultron> PurpZeY: Ok
[09:22] <alecwh> cool!
[09:22] <kjw75> just installed beryl on my new laptop, is anyone else having a freeze up problem with beryl or is it just my laptop?
[09:22] <avis> 7.10 alpha 2
[09:22] <kha1i1> text based installation from the cd anyone? known issue with installing in vmare 6?
[09:22] <Don64> alecwh: u can ask python specific questions in #python as well
[09:22] <magnetron> !gutsy | avis
[09:22] <ubotu> avis: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10).

[09:22] <alecwh> ok, cool. I'm excited to jump into Python. :D
[09:22] <Jordan_U> alecwh, That's it, python is an interpreted language
[09:23] <alecwh> Now, you can make actual programs with Python?
[09:23] <alecwh> Whole programs?
[09:23] <Jordan_U> alecwh, Yup
[09:23] <alecwh> Are tarballs just python files?
[09:23] <magnetron> alecwh: yes, frets on fire is a good example
[09:23] <kahfei> hmmm...still need some guidance on mounting fedora partition..anyone have any ideal?
[09:23] <alecwh> ok. freaking awesome
[09:23] <PurpZeY> smultron: Have you looked at wpasupplicant?
[09:23] <Jordan_U> alecwh, tarballs can be many things
[09:23] <r4b> Nutubuntu: when i use apt-get/aptitude to try and install nvidia-glx, it prompts me to install a 2.6.20-15 kernel where i am running 2.6.20-16 already
[09:23] <kha1i1> text based installation from the cd anyone? known issue with installing in vmare 6?
[09:23] <smultron> is that different than wpa_supplicant, PurpZeY
[09:24] <kha1i1> im lcoking up during install
[09:24] <PurpZeY> smultron: no.
[09:24] <Nutubuntu> r4b - oh - I am clueless on that one, sorry - thanks for the explanation though
[09:24] <magnetron> alecwh: tarballs (.tar.gz) is basically an equivalent of zip files
[09:24] <smultron> PurpZeY: then I already tried it
[09:24] <alecwh> So, how does a Windows user install python programs?
[09:24] <tony_> Hi everybody!
[09:24] <tony_> (this is the part where you all say "Hi, Dr. Nick!" in unison...)
[09:24] <r4b> so i sit in bitchx and wait ;)
[09:24] <dkm|kevin> Is there any easy way to install a ati driver?
[09:24] <dkm|kevin> on ubuntu
[09:25] <Jordan_U> dkm|kevin, System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager
[09:25] <magnetron> dkm|kevin: use the restricted driver manager
[09:25] <Don64> alecwh : the dive website
[09:25] <Don64> explains it
[09:25] <alecwh> What is that? :D
[09:25] <alecwh> *where
[09:25] <dkm|kevin> Has anyone tried running counter-strike on wine or cedega? if so does ur fps drop?

[09:27] <MacDrunk> yea
[09:27] <kahfei> I have installed Ubuntu 7.04 on my machine, which also have FedoraCore 7 installed. But couldn't get Ubuntu to mount the partition with Fedora installed. Anyone has any ideal?
[09:27] <dkm|kevin> Is ubuntu for gaming? if not what linux is made for gaming?
[09:27] <tony_> so two-thirty in the morning and completely unable to sleep!  w00h00!
[09:27] <PurpZeY> MacDrunk: What kind of package is it?
[09:27] <MacDrunk> for linux i found some pages
[09:27] <TexasTaz> Anyone got any good information on Making a MFC 5840CN work on Ubuntu
[09:27] <MacDrunk> well let me se
[09:28] <mckinnoj> So I want to change my screen resolution but 1024x780 is the only option.  Sorry I'm still new at this.  I'm running Beryl if that matters
[09:28] <tony_> dkm|kevin: any linux is good for gaming there's lots of linux games and you can run most Windows games that support OpenGL with Wine
[09:28] <MacDrunk> it says armyops250linux.run
[09:28] <TexasTaz> I have been through the forums at ubuntu all day trying to make this thing work
[09:28] <dkm|kevin> When i run counter-strike with wine my fps drops.. whys that?
[09:28] <lmc_phx> TexasTaz, have you messed with cups yet? I was amazed, it found my brother printer without any trouble.
[09:28] <PurpZeY> mckinnoj: You may have to do it manually by editing xorg.conf
[09:28] <tony_> TexasTaz, who makes the MFC 5840CN?
[09:28] <PurpZeY> dkm|kevin: Are you running beryl?
[09:29] <TexasTaz> It found it but it won't print just lights up for sec then goes out no print
[09:29] <TexasTaz> Brother
[09:29] <dkm|kevin> no sir on a fresh installed ubuntu /w gfxdriver (ati 9600)
[09:29] <MacDrunk> any ideas
[09:29] <bluebanana> what's a quick way to compare the differences  between 2 files?
[09:29] <bluebanana> pls use my name in your reply
[09:29] <Plantain> diff
[09:29] <tony_> bluebanana are you on Windows or Ubuntu?
[09:30] <bluebanana> tony_, in the better of the 2 choices you gave 8-)
[09:30] <PurpZeY> MacDrunk: I don't really...You can try just running that file...Is there any documentation?
[09:30] <TexasTaz> Brother has a driver on their site done with .rpm and .deb and I installed the .deb one
[09:30] <bluebanana> tony_, ubuntu
[09:30] <tony_> lol bluebanana... in that case, you'll want diff
[09:30] <mckinnoj> PurpZeY: I have xorg.conf open but I'm not sure exactly what I'm doing.  Under the "Screen" Section 1280x800 shows up a lot, but I don't see it when I try to change the resolution through the Preferences menu.
[09:30] <bluebanana> it's a program/
[09:30] <bluebanana> ?
[09:30] <TexasTaz> bluebanana: I knew that when said the better of the two lol
[09:30] <MacDrunk> well not really on the page of army ops it says that wont be suported no more
[09:30] <PurpZeY> mckinnoj: First thing, backup xorg.
[09:30] <bluebanana> TexasTaz, i better not say that if I'm in a windows irc room.
[09:31] <kahfei> Hi all, I have installed Ubuntu 7.04 on my machine, which also have FedoraCore 7 installed. But couldn't get Ubuntu to mount the partition with Fedora installed. Anyone has any ideal?
[09:31] <TexasTaz> Who care i hate windows and I would say it in there also lol
[09:31] <tony_> bluebanana... open a terminal and "diff [file1]  [file2] "
[09:31] <bluebanana> tony_, thanks
[09:31] <bluebanana> tony_, what if one is in a text?
[09:31] <bluebanana> tony_, do i then have to put it into a file?
[09:31] <tony_> what do you mean, bluebanana?
[09:32] <mckinnoj> PurpZeY: ok, done
[09:32] <tony_> what does "what if one is in a text?" mean?
[09:32] <bluebanana> tony_, i have the contents of a (config) file saved as a draft in my email box
[09:32] <tony_> ok
[09:32] <PurpZeY> mckinnoj: Then just go ahead and add the resolution you want.
[09:32] <tony_> copy it from your email and into a text file using gedit
[09:32] <bluebanana> tony_, ok
[09:33] <tony_> and then use diff to compare to the one on your machine
[09:33] <tony_> is that what you're trying to do?
[09:33] <tony_> lol TexasTaz
[09:33] <ivan_> Sweet first time using ubuntu just switched from Windows XP
[09:33] <Malachi> How can I edit the menu.lst of a live cd?
[09:33] <raf256_> hi
[09:33] <tony_> use whatever you want bluebanana... I won't think any less of you for it even if you use HelloKitty Editor
[09:33] <kha1i1> ivan_,  xp is much better trust me
[09:33] <Malachi> ivan_ cool. I just switched someone today.
[09:34] <kha1i1> stay with it
[09:34] <ivan_> i know i got 2 pc
[09:34] <tony_> ivan_ how you liking it so far?
[09:34] <Malachi> khalil: What are you talking about?
[09:34] <ivan_> one XP one ubuntu
[09:34] <andrewspriggs> I'm trying to change settings for my Synaptics Touchpad, and even though gsynaptics lets me change settings...nothing happens. Do I have to restart the computer every time I change a setting?
[09:34] <bluebanana> tony_, yes
[09:34] <kha1i1> what do u mean what am i talking about? was that confusing what i said? xp is much better, stay with it
[09:34] <Malachi> It's kind of....not the thing to do. Say XP is better in an Ubuntu room.
[09:34] <ivan_> I like Ubuntu is fast
[09:34] <bluebanana> tony_, that's what i want to do. there's a helloKitty editor?
[09:34] <tony_> andrewspriggs: you can usually just reset that one program that controls your touchpad
[09:35] <PurpZeY> andrewspriggs: I had that problem myself...I found manually changing the settings, or using qsynaptics worked better.
[09:35] <bluebanana> ivan_, me too!
[09:35] <mckinnoj> PurpZeY: the thing is that 1280x800 is already in there, and 1024x768 isn't
[09:35] <Malachi> Also, khalil, that's an opinion, and only discourages users.
[09:35] <andrewspriggs> PurpZeY: oh, I haven't tried qsynaptics...let me get that
[09:35] <PurpZeY> mckinnoj: That is not really my strong suit, but, I am POSITIVE someone else in the chan can verify the right information to change..also, if you'vee already made the change, you'll need to restart x
[09:35] <noodles12> and khalil is WRONG!
[09:35] <noodles12> =P
[09:35] <ivan_> The only thing i don`t know is to download program and install them is a mess for me.
[09:35] <kha1i1> o is it bad form? i like ubuntu, but only because im in comp sci and must learn it.  finding help for these obscure ass issues is a bitch adn i really dont see a benefit at all
[09:36] <TexasTaz> Ubuntu is on all my machines except one My wife refuses to let go of Winblows even after I bought CrossOver for her
[09:36] <GhostFreeman> how can I get rid of all these mount icons on my desktop>
[09:36] <kha1i1> im not trying to hurt feelings
[09:36] <tony_> lol khalil... I applaud your honesty
[09:36] <mckinnoj> PurpZey: ok, cool.  Thanks for giving it a shot
[09:36] <PurpZeY>  ivan_: 9 times out of 10, sudo apt-get install <program> will install it
[09:36] <ivan_> k
[09:36] <tony_> but the benefit is that one vendor can't lock the world in, as MicroSoft has done
[09:36] <ivan_> true
[09:37] <Malachi> ivan_, if you don't want to use a terminal, look in Synaptic for your program. I know how scary the terminal can be to new users.
[09:37] <tony_> so while I definitely haven't drank any RMS kool-aid lately, FLOSS software is very important and I like ubuntu
[09:37] <ivan_> ight
[09:37] <PurpZeY> Malachi: You know honestly, I still find Synaptic for intimidating
[09:37] <kha1i1> tony_,  very true as well.  another reason why i dont mind using it.  im trying it now in vista thru vmware 6.  installing now after it froze umpteen times.  was my own fault tho, wrong vm setting
[09:37] <ivan_> I also Fedora 5 on PS3
[09:37] <Bob_Dole> Ubuntu looks pretty..
[09:37] <ivan_> yup
[09:37] <Malachi> PurpZey: I use aptitude myself, but I tell new users to use Add Remove or Synaptic.
[09:37] <TexasTaz> tony_: FLOSS or FOSS
[09:37] <GhostFreeman> How can I disable the mount icons on the desktop?
[09:37] <Bob_Dole> but I prefer my Fedora Core 6 to ubuntu @.x
[09:38] <tony_> TexasTaz... lol typo
[09:38] <tony_> FOSS
[09:38] <ivan_> I wanna try every OS
[09:38] <Malachi> I understand what you're saying, Bob, but what's with all this "Don't use Ubuntu" in an ubuntu room?
[09:38] <tony_> or uhh make up a word for the L...
[09:38] <linaxe> Hey a question... Is FC just a name change or RED Hat Linux??
[09:38] <TexasTaz> Okay tony_ Had me worried for minute Thought I missed something in my Linux Journal
[09:38] <Bob_Dole> Ivan, look at menuet :3
[09:38] <tony_> Free, Libido-Enhansing Open Source Software...
[09:38] <linaxe> Hey a question... Is FC just a name change of RED Hat Linux??
[09:38] <kha1i1> linaxe,  not quite but short answer yes
[09:38] <TexasTaz> tony_: Uh yeha i wish rofl
[09:39] <mafia`motiv-LcM> could anyone tell me how to configure my mysql server to allow remote connections? the default config only accepts connections from localhost
[09:39] <linaxe> khali1, so there is no RHL these days eh?
[09:39] <PurpZeY> linaxe: I think it had something to do with Redhat becoming a proprietary name
[09:39] <tony_> linaxe... Fedora Core is the community version of RH
[09:39] <mckinnoj> So it looks like 1280x800 has already been added to xorg.conf, but I still can't change my resolution under preferences.  I'm running Beryl.  Anyone have any ideas?
[09:39] <thefallenarchang> hello
[09:39] <tony_> because Red Hat went Enterprise Only after version 9
[09:39] <linaxe> Oh I see..
[09:39] <kha1i1> linaxe, i think its still out there for enterprise
[09:39] <linaxe> Thanks guys
[09:39] <TexasTaz> It's Dervitive of RHEL as well as CentOS with it compiled from source without hte Copyrighted Logos
[09:39] <kinection> linaxe: there is still RHL, FC is like community version of RHL, sometimes they test things in FC first before putting it in RHL
[09:39] <tony_> and I curse them for it... I was just getting the hang of linux when they booted me
[09:39] <thefallenarchang> needin some help with the install of madwifi?
[09:40] <thefallenarchang> i get errors everytime i try to use the make command'
[09:40] <kinection> linaxe: RHL is usually used for large corporations/institutes, FC for community
[09:40] <PurpZeY> mckinnoj: You can try commenting out the other res...but make sure you backup xorg, so if it fails you can revert it
[09:40] <TexasTaz> ooops typio dang it brain is moving faster than fingers
[09:40] <PurpZeY> thefallenarchang: Using sudo?
[09:40] <thefallenarchang> yep
[09:40] <PurpZeY> thefallenarchang: what is the final line return of the make?
[09:40] <linaxe> I have heard a lot from people that its the best linux OS.. Is that true?? I have been using Ubuntu for over 4 months and I like it more than FC.. the kind of support it has, it juts beats FC and all other counterparts..
[09:41] <Nutubuntu> Okay, now I have 1024x768 :) Thanks!
[09:41] <PurpZeY> !best | linaxe
[09:41] <ubotu> linaxe: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[09:41] <thefallenarchang> hold on one sec plz purpzey
[09:41] <TexasTaz> Okay I guess I am off to the never ending frustration of getting My Brotehr Printer to print in Ubuntu
[09:41] <tony_> btw why in the world did ubuntu choose to disable the root account by default?  it makes no sense.  Anybody who would be scared by root wouldn't know what it was anyway.
[09:41] <noodles12> TexasTaz: hope it's nto a lexmark
[09:41] <ivan_> Can ubuntu get virus  like lot do i need to worry bout da
[09:41] <PurpZeY> Nutubuntu: mckinnoj is having a small res issue, maybe you can point him in the right direction?
[09:41] <ziroday> !sudo | tony_
[09:41] <ubotu> tony_: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:41] <ivan_> ?
[09:41] <tony_> sorry TexasTaz... which I could help
[09:41] <TexasTaz> noodles12: It isn'
[09:41] <TexasTaz> t
[09:42] <tony_> lol attacked by the bots again
[09:42] <noodles12> ivan_: no u don't need a virus scanner or a spyware scanner
[09:42] <Bob_Dole> I think I switched to fedora because of the root thing..
[09:42] <Nutubuntu> PurpZeY,  happy to try - mckinnoj say your problem pls? I did not see it
[09:42] <TexasTaz> But it's a real pain the patootie trying to get it to print let me tell ya
[09:42] <ivan_> kool
[09:42] <tony_> anyways for all you newbies out there... first thing you might wanna do is enable the root account... then no more typing sudo before EVERYTHING...
[09:42] <Bob_Dole> but I found I liked fedora more anyways.
[09:43] <PurpZeY> Nutubuntu: He may be combing the forums or something, but he was trying to run 1200x800 but is only getting 1200x768....If he comes back. . . .
[09:43] <noodles12> tony_: i believe that's exactly what you don't want to do
[09:43] <TexasTaz> hehehe already done tony_that was the first thing I did when it rebooted
[09:43] <ivan_> So you all switch OS that`s just 2 sweet lol.
[09:43] <thefallenarchang> purpzey the final line is : make: *** [modules]  Error 2
[09:43] <ompaul> !sudo
[09:43] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:43] <linaxe> Tony_ I think it was quite sensible to disable root by default.. I know its more of a pain to sudo everytime but I think its safer cuz root access gives you access to everything and you can screw up bigtime
[09:43] <Nutubuntu> PurpZeY,  I'll keep an eye out for him then
[09:43] <tony_> I think apt is infinitely more reliable than yum, so that's why I chose ubuntu over FC
[09:43] <linaxe> you can get root access by sudo su
[09:43] <ompaul> !rootsudo
[09:43] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:43] <tony_> or you can enable the root account and get root access by logging in as root ;-)
[09:44] <PurpZeY> thefallenarchang: hmmm...are you sure you have all the dependencies for the package you are looking to install ?
[09:44] <TexasTaz> You cna just type sud oand d owhatever you want without being in su
[09:44] <noodles12> you might as well stick w/ XP on adminstrator. That defeats part of the security if you just run as root.
[09:44] <thefallenarchang> pretty sure
[09:44] <thefallenarchang> kinda new to ubuntu
[09:44] <ompaul> tony_, this channel does not support that nor does any sensible person so please cease
[09:44] <mckinnoj> Nutubuntu: Hey, sorry I was looking at something else.  So my screen resolution is stuck at 1024x768, and I would like to set it higher
[09:44] <tony_> noodles... not log in to X as root... log in to a terminal as root
[09:44] <PurpZeY> thefallenarchang: I'm no guru myself, but you can pastebin the output, I can at least look.
[09:44] <Bob_Dole> Root is unsecure, but usefull.
[09:44] <PurpZeY> !paste | thefallenarchang
[09:44] <ubotu> thefallenarchang: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[09:44] <tony_> this channel doesn't support opening a terminal and typing "su"?
[09:44] <tony_> wow.
[09:45] <Bob_Dole> well less secure. It has its uses to log in as root sometimes.
[09:45] <TexasTaz> Yeah if you are root locally you should be fine just don't make a connection to inet in root lol
[09:45] <Nutubuntu> hi mckinnoj - I just finished doing that, so maybe I can help :) I used the instrux at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[09:45] <ompaul> tony_, read the http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo to find out why
[09:45] <mckinnoj> Nutubuntu: I checked out xorg.conf, but the weird thing is that 1024x768 doesn't show up anywhere in that file despite the fact that it's the only resolution available to me.
[09:45] <TexasTaz> Hahahah ubotu is a bot I tried to talk to that bot yesterday rofl
[09:45] <missy85> PurpZeY: i read all that alsa stuff but i still cant seem to find any amplify setting, maybe im missing something gah i've been trying to get this to work for hours
[09:46] <tony_> I've read it.  I don't agree with it.  That's all I was saying.
[09:46] <kha1i1> wow i can install ubuntu on a 1gb system thru vmware on vista and still mutli task during install
[09:46] <GhostFreeman> How can I disable the mount icons on the desktop?
[09:46] <kha1i1> i need 2gbs still tho
[09:46] <Nutubuntu> mckinnoj,  I don't know why that would be, but let's go thru the basics - 'sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup' already? if not pls make a backup
[09:46] <PurpZeY> missy85: And all your levels are at max?
[09:46] <missy85> yes
[09:46] <mckinnoj> Nutubuntu: yep
[09:47] <Assassin`> !xgl
[09:47] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[09:47] <tony_> and yeah guess I should have been clearer... don't log into X as root... bad idea.
[09:47] <ompaul> tony_, well it says there if you help someone enable root you better be available 24/7 for that person when they break something
[09:47] <PurpZeY> missy85: I know there is an amplification setting...not sure where it is, let me see if I can track it down
[09:47] <thefallenarchang> purpzey here ya go http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27913/
[09:47] <ompaul> tony_, guess you got a new job
[09:47] <tony_> well I figure people should know how their computers work
[09:47] <Nutubuntu> mckinnoj,  okeydokey ... have you got the specs on your monitor's vertical and horiz sync rates handy?
[09:47] <tony_> not just "All linux commands have to start with "sudo"  I don't know why.
[09:47] <PurpZeY> missy85: turn "External amplifier" off
[09:47] <tony_> you know?
[09:48] <PurpZeY> thefallenarchang: You are missing the devlib
[09:48] <missy85> PurpZeY: that's the thing i cant seem to find that setting
[09:48] <mckinnoj> Nutubuntu: I don't unfortunately, but I can try looking them up.  Is this critical?
[09:48] <ivan_> Can i get a DiVx codec for Ubuntu? Was the best Video PLayer for Unbuntu?
[09:48] <PurpZeY> missy85: I'm not sure where the setting is specifically, ask for that specific thing in the chan, I am positive someone will know, meanwhile I'll see if I can't track it down.
[09:48] <Bob_Dole> I can't wait for Ark Linux 2007.1RC to be released :3
[09:48] <thefallenarchang> i can get through synaptic right?
[09:48] <MacDrunk> hmm
[09:48] <PurpZeY> thefallenarchang: Yup.
[09:48] <linaxe> mckinnoj: have you pasted the text printed by GTF on terminal into xorg.conf??
[09:48] <Nutubuntu> mckinnoj,  yes. definitely look them up
[09:49] <tony_> ivan_ are you using Edgy or Feisty?
[09:49] <ivan_> no clue
[09:49] <MacDrunk> any one here has installed armyops for linux???
[09:49] <ivan_> lol
[09:49] <SurfnKid> hi guys
[09:49] <linaxe> mckinnoj: have you pasted the text printed by GTF on terminal into xorg.conf??
[09:49] <tony_> ok ivan click System, then About and look around for a version number
[09:49] <missy85> seems by reading those pages it was founbd in the menu u get when u type alsamixer in terminal but i don't have that option
[09:49] <SurfnKid> I need some help installing ubuntu on an sdb usb disk, can someone tell me how to not write GRUB to my hd0 partition?
[09:50] <mckinnoj> linaxe: I think I missed that
[09:50] <thefallenarchang> it does not show it in syn.?
[09:50] <ivan_> 2.81.1
[09:51] <missy85> does anybody know where I can change the external amplifier settings for alsa in feisty
[09:51] <ompaul> ivan_, check that number again, I think it is .18.
[09:51] <ivan_> ok
[09:51] <SurfnKid> has anyone installed ubuntu on a portable disk?
[09:51] <tony_> no, ivan_: it'll be a year, then month number... either 6.10 or 7.04 probably
[09:51] <SurfnKid> USB IDE
[09:51] <ivan_> 2.18.1
[09:51] <Don64> yes missey
[09:51] <tony_> and it'll say "Edgy Eft" or "Feisty Fawn"
[09:51] <ompaul> tony_, it does not
[09:51] <linaxe> type gtf hor_res vert_res frequency.. The output you get, paste it under monitor section.. Add your resolution to the default resolution and restart x
[09:51] <Don64> double click the volume control nob
[09:51] <ivan_> I got 7.04 ubuntu
[09:52] <tony_> on mine it does ompaul
[09:52] <ompaul> ivan_, it is fiesty 7.04
[09:52] <Don64> go to preferences
[09:52] <PurpZeY> thefallenarchang: You need the build library...I don't know the exact name of the package...Someone help me out?
[09:52] <tony_> "Thank you for your interest in Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft"
[09:52] <tony_> anywho ivan you're in luck because you have Feisty
[09:52] <capiCrimm> anyone know if apache's flood is in a package somewhere. Or am I going to have to build it by hand?
[09:52] <Don64> edit preferences and at the bottem is the option
[09:52] <Nutubuntu> mckinnoj,  what linaxe said ... or look up the specs for the monitor. Either way, you need those in xorg.conf
[09:52] <yell8w> build-essential
[09:53] <tony_> go to System > Administration > Restricted ____ (I forget what the actual name is, cause I don't use Feisty on this machine) but something about restricted)
[09:53] <Don64> missy85 did u see this?
[09:53] <PurpZeY> thefallenarchang: build-essential
[09:53] <missy85> Don64:  thanks but I can't find it there
[09:53] <ivan_> Feisty is really good why?
[09:53] <ja> ja pisze
[09:53] <thefallenarchang> purpzey purpzey i got that now thnx
[09:53] <linaxe> mckinnoj: replace hor_res vert_res and freq by values corresponding to whatever you want and whatever is your monitors specs. Be careful!! Dont mess around with monitor scanning frequency if you dont know it.. Its mostly 60hz or 75hz
[09:53] <Don64> do u see the icon on the panel
[09:53] <ompaul> tony_, to discover what version this command is useful: lsb_release -d
[09:53] <tony_> it makes it easier for you to install your codecs
[09:53] <yell8w> tony_, restricted drivers manager
[09:53] <missy85> i see the volume icon yeah
[09:53] <ivan_> sweet
[09:53] <tony_> thanks yell8w
[09:53] <Don64> double click it
[09:53] <MacDrunk> see ya all
[09:54] <mckinnoj> linaxe: ok, give me a second to try this out
[09:54] <tony_> yell8w that's where the codecs are handled, right?
[09:54] <tony_> I haven't used that feature of Feisty yet
[09:54] <TexasTaz> lol My Printing night mare is Over i just Bought an HP Laserjet 1100 Which Ubuntu has a driver for it lol
[09:54] <Don64> did the control panel pop up?
[09:54] <tony_> still running Edgy here LOL
[09:54] <linaxe> mckinnoj: the output expected for 1023x768 at 75hz is something like this
[09:54] <yell8w> tony_, no, that's where you get your ati drivers
[09:54] <tony_> gotcha...
[09:55] <linaxe>  # 1024x768 @ 75.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 60.15 kHz; pclk: 81.80 MHz
[09:55] <linaxe>   Modeline "1024x768_75.00"  81.80  1024 1080 1192 1360  768 769 772 802  -HSync +Vsync
[09:55] <tony_> so how do the codecs come up... I know they come up automagically when you do something...
[09:55] <tony_> does he just need to try to play a divx video?
[09:55] <yell8w> tony_, as far as codecs there are gstreamers, or w32codecs + libcsssomething
[09:55] <ivan_> 1980x1080
[09:55] <tony_> yeah but how do you trigger the auto-download thing that I saw advertised so much about Feisty?
[09:55] <missy85> Don64: the volume control window pops up but that option -  i don't see it :( i had to download the alsa thing and compile to get my sound to even work, do u think this would make it different somehow. scuse my ignorance
[09:55] <linaxe> Mckinnoj: try this link if you are finding it tough http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973
[09:55] <Don64> edit,preferences and down to the bottom is the external amp
[09:55] <TexasTaz> yell8w: is right gstreamer usually has al lthe codecs you need
[09:56] <linaxe> gtg now.. Hope your problem gets fixed bye everyone
[09:56] <ivan_> including divx
[09:56] <SurfnKid> hi
[09:56] <tony_> ok ivan_ do you know how to install stuff with synaptic yet?
[09:56] <yell8w> tony_, erhh just try to open a file ?
[09:56] <ivan_> nope
[09:56] <SurfnKid> has anyone installed ubuntu on a usb disk?
[09:56] <PurpZeY> SurfnKid: No, but it can be done
[09:56] <tony_> yell8w that's what I thought... might work
[09:56] <missy85> Don64: theres a bunch of them but no external amp
[09:56] <Don64> do u see the menu item Edit?
[09:56] <ivan_> thats what i want to learn badly
[09:56] <missy85> yes Don64
[09:57] <tony_> lol ivan_ just go to Applications > Sound & Video > Movie Player
[09:57] <SurfnKid> PurpZeY: ok cool, that gives some hope :)
[09:57] <yell8w> aptitude |ivan_
[09:57] <tony_> then try to open up a divx file
[09:57] <bluebanana> How come when I delete/uninstall/remove a program via add/remove or via synaptic, it still leaves a ".foo" folder in my home directory?
[09:57] <yell8w> !aptitude |ivan_
[09:57] <ubotu> ivan_: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT, like apt-get. However, aptitude can remember the dependencies installed with a package and remove them if you uninstall. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide
[09:57] <ivan_> k
[09:57] <PurpZeY> SurfnKid: google it
[09:57] <bluebanana> pls use my name when you reply
[09:57] <SurfnKid> PurpZeY: I would think its as easy as installing it on the embedded computer
[09:57] <Don64> ok mine shows the external amp at the very bottom of the options
[09:57] <SurfnKid> PurpZeY: yeah im on it
[09:57] <tony_> it *might* ask you if you want to download the codecs
[09:58] <ivan_> i can viw mp4 n avi mpeg video
[09:58] <missy85> Don64: oh ok weird. thnx for your help anyways
[09:58] <ivan_> view
[09:58] <tony_> sweet
[09:58] <TexasTaz> ivan_ goto this page it will show you how to do your desktop -> http://www.howtoforge.com/the_perfect_desktop_ubuntu7.04 it's a start and you can learn alot about how to do things in your new environment
[09:58] <Don64> good luck
[09:58] <missy85> heh thnx 8-]
[09:58] <ivan_> thanks
[09:58] <thefallenarchang> purpzey ok got through everything but the modprobe ath_pci part i hit enter it just returned to the prompt
[09:58] <tony_> and ivan if you want to install stuff with Synaptic just go to System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager
[09:59] <tony_> and search for keywords of what you're looking for or search by section
[09:59] <tony_> lots of cool stuff in there...
[09:59] <PurpZeY> thefallenarchang: I'm not sure what you were up to in the big picture...is it supposed to return something?
[09:59] <ivan_> ok i will use da
[09:59] <zparta> hi, i followed the fakeraid howto but now when i got it running there is alot of apps missing in the system->administration menu anyone know how i can get them there ?
[10:00] <thefallenarchang> purpzey don't know it says it is supposed to load the driver module
[10:00] <PurpZeY> thefallenarchang: I am not positive put I don't know that, that command will return something
[10:01] <TexasTaz> Dang forgot to put in my password for my nick wow
[10:01] <Maxalist> Need some help!
[10:01] <cupps> Using XChat... how can I input a server to join (other than the ones already listed)?
[10:01] <TexasTaz> Well spill it Maxalist
[10:01] <Eagleray> Maxalist: what's the issue?
[10:02] <thefallenarchang> purpzey ok the next thing it said to do was to type iwconfig all i got was : lo no wireless extension and eth0 no wireless extenion
[10:02] <cupps> Nvm... stupid question.
[10:02] <TexasTaz> cupps: I think you go to window menu then List Channels
[10:02] <Maxalist> I cant copy my winblows backup files from ubunto back onto my second hard drive
[10:03] <zparta> if there is missing apps in administration menu like synaptics after a custom install like fakeraid is there some way to get the them there i know for a fact that synaptic is installed since i can run it from terminal
[10:03] <PurpZeY> thefallenarchang: Sounds to me like your are up to either an ndiswrapper or acpi install...and it shouldn't be too tough to do, but it *may* take some type to troubleshoot and I have to go to bed. . .So, I am sorry to cut you off, but that is fairly common, so someone should be able to help
[10:03] <thefallenarchang> it then said to bring up the wireless interface by ifconfig ath0 up and i got the message: ath0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
[10:04] <zparta> and even though i installed the swdish lang pack everything aint swedish
[10:04] <thefallenarchang> thats ok you have been a big help thx
[10:04] <Eagleray> Maxalist: which filesystem are you using on the second drive?
[10:04] <Eagleray> Maxalist: how are you trying to copy the files
[10:04] <Eagleray> ?
 I tried, it doesn't work
[10:05] <pwngasm> hi, if i have ubuntu installed, and i got another hdd which i want to put windows on....how do i make it so that it will work dual boot
[10:05] <Nutubuntu> Is there a "good" way to get rid of the fonts I don't use, from the stock Ubuntu install?
[10:06] <Maxalist> NTFS File system. When I load winblows it doesn't see any data on the ubuntu drive because of it's format, So I'm kind argh! as it has all my development work on...
[10:06] <hjmills> how can I turn DMA on for my SATA drives in feisty?
[10:06] <Eagleray> Maxalist: ubuntu can't write to NTFS with the default drivers without risking serious data loss
[10:06] <hjmills> sudo hdparm -d 1 /dev/sdc isnt working :(
[10:06] <Eagleray> Maxalist: install the ntfs-3g drivers and use those
[10:07] <TexasTaz> ivan_: Use this also it has ten tips to help you get some stuff done you want to do without having to aks questions or give a direction for your question
[10:07] <TexasTaz> http://linuxfordummies.org/index.php?topic=558.0
[10:07] <ivan_> k
[10:07] <TexasTaz> Beleive me ivan_ I needed these bad lol
[10:07] <ivan_> lol i love this OS is fun seen wat u can do
[10:07] <enviouz> while running apt-get update i get the following error: gzip: stdin: not in gzip format Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com feisty/main Packages Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1) Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz  Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)
[10:08] <dragonmc> anyone know how i can return an inserted cd's label name from the console?
[10:08] <TexasTaz> I was so dumb when I started on Ubuntu and Still am compared to these people in here but i sorta know where to look for stuff now
[10:08] <Maxalist> But it also says that I don't have the right privileges, and I'm the main user? What about reinstalling winblows as fat32 would that work?
[10:08] <ivan_> can linux read pkg files not dpkg
[10:08] <ivan_> ?
[10:08] <Eagleray> Maxalist: you will need to be root, not the main user
[10:09] <TexasTaz> dpkg is a program to unpack .pkg files
[10:09] <Eagleray> Maxalist: use 'sudo' to run the commands you don't have rights for
[10:09] <pwngasm> hi, if i have ubuntu installed, and i got another hdd which i want to put windows on....how do i make it so that it will work dual boot
[10:09] <Maxalist> I tried logging on as the root, but said I can't log on under that screen mode.
[10:09] <TexasTaz> brb guys
[10:09] <gordonjcp> Maxalist: you can get an ext3 driver for windows
[10:09] <enviouz> anybody know how to fix?
[10:10] <ivan_> Wow this is the best PlayStation uses da pkg.
[10:10] <Lo_Pan> ext3 ifs
[10:10] <Lo_Pan> ext2 ifs
[10:10] <Lo_Pan> even
[10:10] <Eagleray> Maxalist: how are you trying to do this - with a GUI or a commandline?
[10:10] <gordonjcp> enviouz: try a different repo?
[10:11] <tof_> hi
[10:11] <Maxalist> So I do I log in as root; I very new to linux os.
[10:11] <hjmills> any idea about the dma? does anybody have dma on their SATA drives in feisty?
[10:11] <tof_> i have problem with MSS2 codec
[10:11] <Eagleray> Maxalist: Please also address your messages to the user you are talking to - for example "Eagleray: I want to say this"
[10:11] <hjmills> !root | Maxalist
[10:11] <ubotu> Maxalist: do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[10:11] <gordonjcp> Maxalist: you don't log in as root, you log in as a normal user, and use "sudo" to run things as rot
[10:11] <gordonjcp> root
[10:11] <gordonjcp> hjmills: that's actually not a very helpful factoid
[10:11] <Maxalist> Ealeray: sorry for not addressing you
[10:11] <Eagleray> Maxalist: 'sudo bash' will give you a root shell if you hate typing sudo all the time
[10:11] <gordonjcp> hjmills: consider that a lot of people in here don't have English as their first language
[10:12] <Eagleray> Maxalist: it's all good, you know now
[10:12] <hjmills> gordonjcp, no, it isnt really - I didn't know that. It does give a link which may help though I guess
[10:12] <gordonjcp> hjmills: yeah
[10:12] <hjmills> gordonjcp, is !sudo better?
[10:12] <gordonjcp> !sudo
[10:12] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[10:12] <gordonjcp> hjmills: yeah
[10:13] <gordonjcp> hjmills: personally I like the matrix quote but I can see how it would confuse people in here who don't speak English natively
[10:13] <enviouz> what repo should i use then? i cant even get system updates because of that
[10:13] <gordonjcp> hjmills: that said they can go ask in a channel in their local language, I suppose
[10:13] <hjmills> gordonjcp, definitely
[10:13] <Maxalist> Eagleray: Cheers, I'll give that a go. If nothing else works, i'll have to get a dvd rw drive, as I cant afford to corrupt the data.
[10:13] <Eagleray> gordonjcp: although the English channel is the most active as far as I know
[10:13] <gordonjcp> Eagleray: true
[10:14] <Eagleray> Maxalist: OK - good luck
[10:14] <ivan_> Where can i download DPKG so i can start hacking my games.
[10:14] <ivan_> ?
[10:15] <Eagleray> ivan_: dpkg should be installed by default, unless you are using a non-debian-based distro
[10:15] <pwngasm> hi, if i have ubuntu installed, and i got another hdd which i want to put windows on....how do i make it so that it will work dual boot??? because i have tried it before, and then windows said something like has to write to mbr so i hit yes, and i couldnt boot into linux only windows
[10:15] <Eagleray> ivan_: which distro are you using?
[10:15] <ivan_> kool
[10:15] <wehttamb_> hi
[10:15] <tof_> wehttamb_ hi
[10:15] <Eagleray> pwngasm: you will need to restore the MBR part of grub
[10:15] <ivan_> where would i find it if i have it?
[10:15] <Eagleray> pwngasm: this will allow you to dual-boot again
[10:15] <wehttamb_> what is the easiest way to convert all my wma files into mp3?
[10:16] <Eagleray> ivan_: 'which dpkg' will tell you
[10:16] <ivan_> Distro?
[10:16] <ziroday> wehttamb_: mencoder or sound converter
[10:16] <Eagleray> !dpkg > ivan_
[10:16] <wehttamb_> ok
[10:17] <Eagleray> ivan_: which 'release' of linux are you using
[10:17] <Eagleray> ivan_: ?
[10:17] <ivan_> 7.04
[10:17] <wehttamb_> where can i get sound converter
[10:17] <enviouz> gzip: stdin: not in gzip format Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com feisty/main Packages Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)
[10:17] <Eagleray> ivan_: then dpkg is already installed. Please also address your messages, e.e. "Eagleray: I want to say this to you"
[10:18] <ivan_> ok
[10:18] <Eagleray> ivan_: what are you trying to use dpkg for?
[10:18] <Maxalist> pwngasm: Hi, I had the same problem and never resolved it. Winblows and Ubunto kind of don't like each other. I tried installing winblows first but its main boot files became corrupted after installing ubuntu.
[10:18] <jhong> If I've got a WINE app I want to start with the "Open With" dialog, how do I pass through the filename of the file to open to the executable?
[10:18] <Ciorapel> hello
[10:18] <newuser00> i need some advice... what is best for safety, Opera or Firefox?
[10:18] <ivan_> For PlaySation 3 Games i found the store server?
[10:18] <Flannel> Maxalist: They shouldn't become corrupted.  Just superceded.
[10:18] <ziroday> !best | newuser00
[10:18] <ubotu> newuser00: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[10:18] <Eagleray> Maxalist: this is an easy problem to resolve, but for most newbies the easiest way is to install windows before linus
[10:19] <ivan_> I wanna take the lincese off
[10:19] <Eagleray> Maxalist: then it all 'just works' by default
[10:19] <__maiju_|> newuser00: i would tend to think firefox is a bit better
[10:19] <preaction> ivan_: dpkg doesn't do that
[10:19] <TexasTaz> Whoa that wasn't good dang it lol
[10:19] <pwngasm> maxalist: i was thinking of unplugging my ubuntu hdd, then installing windows, then just plug in whichever hdd i want to use
[10:19] <preaction> ivan_: also, i doubt anyone in here will help you to do this illegal action
[10:19] <ivan_> i do da with my hard drive
[10:19] <Eagleray> ivan_: Please address your messages
[10:19] <Maxalist> Flannel: Mine did, I had one of my friend over who was like a linux guru, and even he was scratching his head! Be quite hones, I'd rather do away with windows all together
[10:20] <Eagleray> ivan_: also note that dpkg is not a game pirating tool, nor will most people here help you with doing so
[10:20] <ivan_> i know how to do it already is really not illegal lol
[10:20] <newuser00> __maiju_| thanx
[10:20] <jhong> If I've got a WINE app I want to start with the "Open With" dialog, how do I pass through the filename of the file to open to the executable?
[10:20] <TexasTaz> Hmmmm
[10:20] <ivan_> I got Linux cuzz i hear people use for hacking
[10:20] <Ciorapel> I want to install beryl on Ubuntu 7.04 , and when I type : wget<EMAIL_ADDRESS>-O- | sudo apt-key add - //////// i get an error
[10:20] <Eagleray> ivan_: believe me, it's not possible to use dpkg for the purpose yo say you use it for - so you cna't already know how to use it
[10:21] <preaction> ivan_: removing and/or breaking encryption is illegal under US law. distributing and/or using material you do not have a license for is illegal under international law. "cracking" (what you call "hacking") is also illegal under international law.
[10:21] <TexasTaz> ivan_:  Dumb move on your part we don't support hacking
[10:21] <ziroday> Ciorapel: no "\\\\\\"
[10:21] <ivan_> ok
[10:21] <newuser00> ziroday, i did mention my preferences, required features, and etc :P "safety" ^_^
[10:21] <Ciorapel> that was from separating the command from my type
[10:21] <aMohammed> Hi there , I was wonderning how to type German special charachters in Gnome without having them on keyboard , is German language support required ?
[10:21] <Ciorapel> I typed in terminal just the command
[10:21] <Eagleray> Maxalist: did you try to resize the windows partition? That's pretty much the only thing that a linux install can/will do that can damage windows
[10:21] <ziroday> newuser00: it falls under the same category
[10:21] <enviouz> anybody?
[10:21] <TexasTaz> ivan_:  Also if you ever get hacked, you'll understand why we don't support that crap
[10:22] <Eagleray> Maxalist: (most newbie distros anyway ;-)
[10:22] <ivan_> i dont supported either
[10:22] <ivan_> but if other ppl use it i dont care
[10:22] <Ciorapel> I get : Connecting to ubuntu.beryl-project.org|<IP_ADDRESS>|:80... connected.
[10:22] <Ciorapel> HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found
[10:22] <TexasTaz> I know i have been hacked and had to fight one off not a fun thing to do
[10:23] <Ciorapel> also I try google-ing for some mirrors .. and I found one on nvidia.com .. that is a 404 too
[10:23] <Eagleray> ivan_: we. do. not. support. cracking.
[10:23] <ivan_> ok
[10:23] <preaction> TexasTaz: uhm... unplug it?
[10:23] <ivan_> I format my hdd every month
[10:23] <TexasTaz> preaction: lol can't wasn't an option lol
[10:23] <preaction> TexasTaz: it's always an option, and usually the best one. remove the server from the network.
[10:24] <Maxalist> Eagleray: Yes I did, I tried an automated partition on first install, and then I tried a manual partition. but it was a case that one os would work without the other and even when I got the OS selection prompt, winblows was complaining that it's files were missing.
[10:24] <TexasTaz> ivan_: your conversation here tells me what you're upto and I don't support that nor will I help in anyway
[10:24] <Cdogg> whats the desktop effects channel?
[10:24] <Ciorapel> so ... can somebody help me install beryl ? :D
[10:24] <Flannel> !effects
[10:24] <ubotu> For help with Beryl or Compiz desktop effects, please go to #ubuntu-effects
[10:24] <preaction> Cdogg: #ubuntu-effects
[10:24] <Ciorapel> thanx !
[10:24] <ziroday> ivan_: ah format wont delete everything
[10:24] <Eagleray> Maxalist: generally windows should run chkdsk after being resized. Even then, there is a small chance of filesystem corruption
[10:24] <ivan_> i know
[10:24] <TexasTaz> preaction: well yeah i suppose it would be.
[10:24] <ivan_> it will delete virus
[10:25] <ziroday> ivan_: are you using ubuntu?
[10:25] <Eagleray> Maxalist: there is a near certainty of it if you are resizing a vista NTFS partition with a non-bleeding-edge distro
[10:25] <ivan_> YES
[10:25] <TexasTaz> Just my boss thought we would lose tons of money with it unplugged, when i told him we were going to lose tons of money anyway he agreed
[10:25] <enviouz> nobody knows?
[10:26] <preaction> TexasTaz: considering the next thing the cracker could do might be "sudo nohup rm -rf /" ?
[10:26] <ziroday> ivan_: then you dont have viruses, it is super hard to get viruses in ubuntu, you have a better chance of winning the lottery
[10:26] <ziroday> !viruses | ivan_
[10:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about viruses - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:26] <ivan_> Damn people now think i H i dont know hacking
[10:26] <ziroday> !virus | ivan_
[10:26] <ubotu> ivan_: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[10:26] <TexasTaz> preaction: I actually did that once when I first started in linux lol
[10:26] <ivan_> k i will read
[10:26] <TexasTaz> Bad mistake rofl
[10:27] <preaction> TexasTaz: a more fun mistake is a forkbomb, especially on a colo server (you have to hard reboot)
[10:27] <zparta> when i try to enable menu items in the menuitem list it imidiately removes the check in the checkbox is this some known problem
[10:27] <Maxalist> Eagleray: I was working from a clean hard dive. I partitioned the drive and installed ubuntu first. after that I installed winblows xp; but it seemed they were always fighting with each other. so I just installed winblows of a second hard drive. I only need to use windows xp for work, so it don't bother me to keep swapping drive when needed.
[10:27] <TexasTaz> I don't allow root via ssh I know it's not full proof but it helps
[10:28] <Ciorapel> does anybody have a mirror for "lupine.me.uk.gpg" ?
[10:28] <hjmills> how can I turn DMA on for my SATA drives in feisty?
[10:28] <Eagleray> Maxalist: windows likes to be on the first partition of the master drive
[10:28] <Eagleray> Maxalist: if it isn't, you need a little bit of grub remapping trickery to make them play nicely

[10:34] <thefallenarchang> are there any other options
[10:35] <ziroday> c_: well it may be because the usplash theme uses a different res and therefore you cant see it. On bootup press alt-f1 and see what happens
