[05:15] <eigenlambda> and -name pattern makes it take only the ones that match the pattern
[05:15] <eigenlambda> (glob pattern, not regex pattern)
[05:16] <wheels3572> I was in here earlier and was asking how to get to apps>metacity>global keybindings.  I dont see metacity anywhere
[05:16] <digitalhav0c> does anyone know how i can keep wine from updating. I installed from source with the wow patch but it keeps showing up in synaptic as a pkg that needs to be updated?
[05:16] <sri_> eigenlambda, can u explain it?
[05:16] <h4v0k> how to set up dual boot plz
[05:16] <eigenlambda> and then you take the list of pathnames from find and pipe them through xargs, which takes its stdin and puts it on the command line of whatever program you named
[05:17] <wheels3572> h4v0k:  What are you trying to dual boot?
[05:17] <eigenlambda> which is rm here, the program that deletes things
[05:17] <Taza> Does anyone know how I could force the xfce4 display setting panel to fix itself or a configuration file for it, or for Xfce4 res?
[05:17] <h4v0k> wheels3572, my friend wants to install ubuntu but wants to keep his win XP so how do i set it up so i can boot into either OS
[05:18] <wheels3572> h4v0k:  Ok that's gonna be easy as I just did this myself.  Has he the CD for Ubuntu for starters?
[05:18] <Taza> h4v0k: You can't. Ubuntu always eats windows away. And if you install windows afterwards, you can't boot into Ubuntu anymore... oh wait, that's Mandrake.
[05:19] <wheels3572> Taza:  You can cuz I have done it
[05:19] <Taza> wheels3572: Do read what I said again. :p
[05:19] <george_looney> h4v0k: is ther free space available on the HD for Ubuntu?
[05:19] <orbin> same here.  mandrake was my first distro
[05:19] <h4v0k> wheels3572, yes i have the breezy badger CD
[05:19] <h4v0k> george_looney, yup
[05:20] <h4v0k> knoppix was my first:-D
[05:20] <Taza> h4v0k: Is the free space unpartitioned?
[05:20] <wheels3572> h4v0k:  You do know there is the latest distro of Ubuntu out called Dapper Drake?
[05:20] <[Ex0r] > man, something is seriously wrong with courier
[05:20] <Taza> h4v0k: If not, do defragment before doing anything
[05:20] <wheels3572> Taza:  Why not just use a program like Partition Magic and make a separate Partition
[05:21] <wheels3572> Taza:  and have h4 install to that
[05:21] <Taza> wheels3572: How do I use brain?
[05:21] <Taza> wheels3572: 1) Type correctly. 2) The ubuntu partitioner can IIRC do that.
[05:21] <mrburton> could someone help me with an install question please?
[05:21] <Taza> wheels3572: No need for expensive and clumsy commercial software like Partition Magic in any case.
[05:22] <wheels3572> Taza:  Ok I will let you take over then as I am new to this but I am just explaining from what I have done personally and know
[05:22] <facugaich> mrburton: just ask, someone may know the answer
[05:22] <Taza> mrburton: This goes to almost every help channel - ask, don't ask to ask. :p
[05:22] <mrburton> ok I'm trying to follow a post about mounting NTFS file system with read/write
[05:23] <Xtremer> hey
[05:23] <mrburton> and it tells me I need Fuse
[05:23] <facugaich> how do you update to dapper? dist-upgrade?
[05:23] <ks1> mrburton, you do need fuse for ntfs-3g
[05:23] <mrburton> I downloaded fuse in a tarball file
[05:23] <Xtremer> I have a quick question. How do I get permission to edit files in my filesystem?
[05:23] <h4v0k> Taza  yeah the unused portion of the partition needs defraggging but after that is there a thread or something so i can do this and be able to boot into either kernel
[05:23] <toka5505> hello. i am using xubuntu running quite well in vmware. the only problem i have is with the mouse-pointer handling. when running vmware-toolbox, the mouse switches automatically to the host operating system, when leaving the xubuntu window. when vmware-toolbox is not running, the mouse-pointer is always bound to the xubuntu-desktop. any ideas ?
[05:23] <mrburton> and the install file is kinda cryptic
[05:23] <mrburton> where should I put it to run ./configure
[05:23] <orbin> facugaich: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades
[05:24] <Dr4g> bbl
[05:24] <Taza> h4v0k: Honestly, when you're asking something like that... defrag, BACKUP, get latest Ubuntu, and ask someone more experienced to help you on the spot.
[05:24] <haffe> Hello.
[05:24] <Taza> h4v0k: There's a very real chance of wiping your hdd - I should know, I've managed to do it.
[05:24] <h4v0k> k
[05:24] <vbgunz> I just exported something... How can I clear it or overwrite it?
[05:24] <h4v0k> Taza we did too one time before and that sux
[05:24] <tuxtux> ciao at all
[05:24] <facugaich> h4v0k: What's the problem? I joined kinda late
[05:25] <Xtremer>  I have a quick question. How do I get permission to edit files in my filesystem?
[05:25] <Taza> facugaich: He has a windows partition and he wants to install Ubuntu using dualboot.
[05:25] <Vardis> How can i upgrade x server?
[05:25] <offroadgeek> does dapper create a default user/pass on a new install?
[05:25] <facugaich> Taza: Well, that's what I did with breezy
[05:25] <h4v0k> and maybe someone knows the name of the server so i can float the partitions and operate both of them
[05:25] <orbin> h4v0k: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WindowsDualBootHowTo ... outdated but still relevant
[05:26] <Taza> facugaich: However, I wouldn't really suggest that to an inexperienced user - seeing resizing partitions isn't the easiest trick to do, and it's known to have wiped HDD's
[05:26] <george_looney> h4v0k: Well, I installed Dapper and it recognised my WinXP partition ...
[05:26] <facugaich> h4v0k: NTFS?
[05:26] <mrburton> where should I put the fuse files to run ./configure one them?
[05:26] <george_looney> h4v0k: ... it didn't touch it and I dualboot now
[05:26] <narfmaster> !ntfs
[05:26] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse
[05:27] <narfmaster> !fuse
[05:27] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[05:27] <Xtremer> I have a quick question. How do I get permission to edit files in my filesystem?
[05:28] <narfmaster> mrburton, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse <-- use this
[05:28] <Taza> Can anyone help me with my "wheretheheck do I configure Xfce4 settings toolpanel from?"-question?
[05:28] <mrburton> thank you
[05:28] <roler> Is there a program I acn use to sync with my pocket pc?
[05:28] <Xtremer> I just want to edit my sources.list
[05:28] <ks1> Xtremer, sudo
[05:28] <orbin> Taza: perhaps #xfce would be better
[05:28] <Taza> orbin: Thanks. I hate Freenode.
[05:28] <Xtremer> ks1: Any way to do it outside of terminal?
[05:29] <frogzoo> !permissions > Xtremer
[05:29] <ks1> you could use gksudo
[05:29] <narfmaster> Xtremer, you could use Synaptic or Software Properties
[05:29] <guest2343> I wanna configure proxy 4 evolution and vnc  how do i do it?
[05:31] <mneisen> Hi, does anyone know how to enable quotas in postfix without(!) recompiling the sources? Is it possible with the standard Dapper package?
[05:32] <Xtremer> hmm.. thanks frogzoo I'll check those links out.. ks1, I'll look into that too. narfmaster, I'm not sure how I'd do that. I want to be able to edit files in etc/apt/ and such
[05:32] <[Ex0r] > mneisen- you have to compile postfix with quota support
[05:32] <[Ex0r] > frogzoo- you have any experience with courier ?
[05:32] <roler> Is there a program I acn use to sync with my pocket pc?
[05:33] <mneisen> [Ex0r] : oh my ... why isn't it in the standard package?  Is there a way to install the complete toolchain (compiler, ...)?
[05:34] <frogzoo> roler: synce-serial - see the wiki for details, it's not very reliable
[05:34] <george_looney> mneisen: apt-get install build-essential
[05:34] <Mewshi> aanyone know if the old dexdrive ps1 peripheral is supported on linux?
[05:35] <roler> frogzoo, ;thanks:)
[05:35] <mneisen> george_looney: thanks.
[05:36] <george_looney> mneisen: you are welcome
[05:36] <facugaich> what's the size of dapper?
[05:37] <narfmaster> facugaich, about 700 MBs
[05:37] <[Ex0r] > I can get courier installed and running, but it won't sync with postfix to retrieve mail
[05:37] <frogzoo> facugaich: my /usr is around 10gigs atm
[05:38] <narfmaster> the entire main repo for one arch is about 3 GBs
[05:38] <frogzoo> narfmaster: + universe + multiverse...
[05:38] <narfmaster> lol too big for me
[05:38] <frogzoo> & then uncompress o.O
[05:38] <mazurskie> !blender > mazurskie
[05:39] <[Ex0r] > !blender
[05:39] <ubotu> blender is a free application for 3D modelling, animation, rendering, etc. You can install it from Ubuntu's repositories, and tutorials are at http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro
[05:39] <ompaul> narfmaster, ehh a tad small :-) if you include sources
[05:39] <cool_nick> i just migrated from M$ XP, Any suggestions on how to start off with ubuntu. . .
[05:39] <facugaich> but I meant slipstreamed
[05:39] <orbin> cool_nick: what do you want to do?
[05:39] <frogzoo> narfmaster: c'mon - disk is cheap at 50c/gig
[05:39] <george_looney> cool_nick: Just Do iT (TM)
[05:40] <frogzoo> !docs > cool_nick
[05:40] <webben1> source-o-matic doesn't mention a dapper backports repository ... does one exist yet?
[05:40] <ompaul> cool_nick, yes, one, click on System Help System Documentation - that will answer most questions - they are books you can get online at lulu.com
[05:40] <orbin> cool_nick: i suggest just playing around.  install a few apps, ge the feel of stuff.  you'll pick things up as you go
[05:40] <cool_nick> george_looney: firstly, i need a good firewall. .
[05:40] <usama> hi all
[05:40] <ompaul> cool_nick, in soft format
[05:40] <narfmaster> facugaich, what does an aircraft have to do with Dapper?
[05:40] <usama> has anyone use prelink?
[05:40] <frogzoo> !firestarter > cool_nick
[05:40] <cool_nick> george_looney: can you please tell more bout iptables. . .
[05:40] <frogzoo> usama: beware it breaks wine
[05:41] <facugaich> narfmaster, what does "slipstreamed" have to do with aircrafts?
[05:41] <facugaich> :P
[05:41] <usama> frogzoo: i dont use wine :)
[05:41] <woyceck> cool_nick: why do you need a firewall
[05:41] <george_looney> cool_nick: iptables is the command with which you specify firewall rules
[05:41] <usama> frogzoo: do you have used it?
[05:41] <facugaich> I meant what's the size of the download
[05:41] <narfmaster> facugaich, the download is about 700 MBs
[05:42] <george_looney> cool_nick: if you don't start up unnecessary server software, you are good to go without a firewall
[05:42] <ompaul> cool_nick, this is not windows - unless you go installing services then you won't need a firewall, if you do then you can use the point and click "firestarter"
[05:42] <facugaich> I have 7 gigs for Breezy right now, is that enough?
[05:42] <ompaul> cool_nick, services are web servers and the like
[05:42] <frogzoo> usama: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/prelink/+bug/31135
[05:42] <usama> has anyone used prelink?  sudo /etc/cron.daily/prelink   says that command not found!!
[05:42] <narfmaster> facugaich, that should be enough
[05:43] <cool_nick> george_looney: i have a ssh server running, and i need to firewall port 23. . .
[05:43] <facugaich> ok, thank you
[05:43] <cycom> facugaich: how much for swap?
[05:43] <woyceck> cool_nick: no, you have to configure ssh
[05:44] <george_looney> cool_nick: no need, I don't think you are running a telnet server(port 23)
[05:44] <qurps> !w32codecs
[05:44] <[Ex0r] > what is prelink ?
[05:44] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  -  See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html  -  But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[05:44] <facugaich> cycom: you mean the swap partition created during install? My RAM is 192mb, you do the maths
[05:44] <frogzoo> [Ex0r] : it's a way of preparing exes so they link quicker
[05:44] <george_looney> cool_nick: you can use "sudo netstat --inet -na"
[05:44] <cycom> 400 megs
[05:45] <frogzoo> [Ex0r] : seems to still be having teething problems
[05:45] <cycom> facugaich: but do you have it allocated?
[05:45] <facugaich> cycom: what do you mean?
[05:45] <[Ex0r] > i see
[05:45] <cius> I need to start gnome-panel with the --sync option for a bug report, but when I kill gnome-panel it automatically restarts, is there any way to prevent this?
[05:45] <cycom> facugaich: do you have a 400 meg swap partition?
[05:45] <frogzoo> [Ex0r] : more importantly, it saves use of shared memory
[05:45] <facugaich> cycom: yeah, I think it's bigger
[05:45] <cool_nick> george_looney: can you suggest me  few books or online reference manuals to start with, i want to learn things using command line. . .
[05:46] <cycom> facugaich: ok. good.

[05:46] <george_looney> cool_nick: atta boy :) you are my kinda guy

[05:46] <narfmaster> manopulus, which version of opera?
[05:47] <george_looney> cool_nick: I would suggest the Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 Bible
[05:47] <usama> frogzoo: i dont care if my system breaks
[05:47] <facugaich> cycom: lol, it was smaller, 310 mb
[05:47] <manopulus> narfmaster: i just do apt-get install and it is dapper
[05:47] <frogzoo> cool_nick: also, get used to referring to man pages & 'man -k' is really useful
[05:47] <cool_nick> frogzoo: pm?
[05:47] <facugaich> cycom, I have 192, but I'm planning to upgrade to 368
[05:47] <frogzoo> !docs > cool_nick
[05:47] <frogzoo> cool_nick: did a window open from ubotu? read the link
[05:48] <cycom> facugaich: yeesh.  Yeah, upgrade to 368 asap.
[05:48] <cycom> facugaich: why not just spend the 40 bucks and get a 512?
[05:48] <frogzoo> usama: then 'sudo apt-get install prelink' : done
[05:48] <facugaich> cycom: pc133
[05:48] <usama> frogzoo: sudo: /etc/cron.daily/prelink: command not found

[05:58] <guest2343> (20:57:21) [Ex0r] : so than you've got 6.06
[05:58] <guest2343> (20:57:28) ompaul: brandon_, so what are you using xubuntu, kubuntu?
[05:58] <guest2343> (20:57:31) dan_kent: anyone konw how to set the recording source on a soundblaster audigy under ubuntu?
[05:58] <guest2343> (20:57:33) ***george_looney yawns
[05:58] <guest2343> (20:57:37) dan_kent: theres nothing saying record in the mixer
[05:58] <george_looney> guest2343: do you want a light weight proxy?
[05:58] <guest2343> (20:57:40) usama: frogzoo: yes, working now, thanks a lot, you are one cool guy/gal
[05:58] <ompaul> lilo, no worries - I had three typo failures before I got it working :)
[05:58] <olrrai> hi all
[05:59] <lilo> ompaul: I sort of held back hoping someone else would get it....I hate to interfere w/channel commands
[05:59] <gmoore> i'm going to be using my Ubuntu system as a server (web, database, etc) and as a PVR with my tvtuner and mythtv. in general: KDE, gnome, or xcfe? which is the least resource hungry but still has useful stuff?
[05:59] <reiki> What does Super key do? For example, my "Start" key on my keyboard says it's mapped to Super_L
[05:59] <ompaul> lilo, you see that kind of thing you have my 100% permission to do it in my name :)
[05:59] <george_looney> gmoore: XFCE
[06:00] <lilo> ompaul: hmmm, thanks....I'll have to figure out how that works, I think Seveas would have to approve
[06:00] <lilo> wait
[06:00] <usama> how can i register a nick?
[06:00] <lilo> yah, I'm not in the access list
[06:00] <lilo> usama: /msg nickserv help register
[06:00] <ompaul> ahh
[06:00] <lilo> usama: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup also provides a canonical nick setup
[06:01] <brandon_> ompaul: are you able to administer cups?
[06:01] <cool_nick> can anybody help me register my irc nick?
[06:02] <gmoore> george_looney: does xcfe have apps for things like watching tv (kde has kdetv/xawtv) and will it work with a windows x-server running?
[06:02] <ompaul> brandon_, that is not how you do it in ubuntu, do this, System Administration Printing and add a printer there we don't deal with cups - that thing works (for all the printers I have pointed it at)
[06:02] <fyrestrtr> is there a program that can edit the audio track of a .rm file? I need to filter out the background noise.
[06:03] <brandon_> mpaul: that's what i did
[06:03] <brandon_> but cups is the printing daemon
[06:03] <ompaul> brandon_, just a moment
[06:03] <jrib> !register > cool_nick
[06:03] <javiolo> does auto-apt works ? auto-apt run ./configure doesnt install dependeces
[06:03] <reiki> it's REALLY starting to get warm here...... ok well for HERE is't warm.... (western NY state)
[06:03] <ks1> ompaul, if you add a printer graphically, it is still using cups...
[06:04] <george_looney> gmoore: xawtv will work
[06:04] <ompaul> ks1, ack
[06:04] <Tomatix> gmoore, try out tvtime :)
[06:04] <ks1> you are just using a gtk2 interface to do it, not the cups web based configuration
[06:04] <knoppix> halo
[06:04] <ks1> hpijs contains the drivers..
[06:05] <george_looney> ola
[06:06] <ompaul> brandon_, okay it may be a usb issue as cups says it can deal with that printer, I suggest the following, turn off and unplug the printer from the PC remove the driver, turn off the PC plug the printer into the pc, start the PC and printer and then go through the setup again - it does work
[06:06] <ompaul> brandon_, when I have install issues they seem to go away with that manover

[06:06] <ompaul> brandon_, you can get into cups if you really want to but that involves all sorts of messing and costs lots of time
[06:06] <brandon_> ompaul: but can you run administration tasks using cups?
[06:06] <george_looney> !pt
[06:06] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br  ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigada.
[06:06] <usama> how can i change the password of my nick?
[06:07] <Tomatix> !no
[06:07] <cool_nick> how do i register irc nick. . . can anyone suggest something?

[06:07] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[06:07] <linuzo> I apt-get installed flashplugin and now for some reason it is frozen at setting up flashplugin and it won't go anywhere.  I used control_c to close the session but for some reason when I goto do apt-get install something else it says run dpkg --configure -a but then it just goes back to setting up and frezes again.. help please..
[06:07] <Phoul> How do i install flash
[06:07] <narfmaster> cool_nick, /msg nickserv help
[06:07] <frogzoo> cool_nick: /msg nickserv help
[06:07] <Phoul> I tried the flash-nonefree what ever but the install froze
[06:07] <ompaul> brandon_, I don't since I moved to ubuntu - 11.5 years using OSS as my desktop o/s
[06:07] <frogzoo> narfmaster: snap
[06:07] <narfmaster> hehe
[06:07] <ZenobiaBE> Hello everyone. I installed network-manager, all dependencies and network-manager-gnome, but I can't find it anywhere to launch it. I tried network-manager in a terminal, command doesn't exist, and I can't find it anywhere in my menus.
[06:08] <Phoul> Can anyone tell me how to install flash
[06:08] <linuzo> haha Phoul I did the same thing..
[06:08] <jrib> Phoul: it froze during what step?
[06:08] <Phoul> ummm
[06:08] <Phoul> Man it was like 2 months ago
[06:08] <Phoul> umm
[06:08] <linuzo> Phoul download it from Adobe's website and install it from there..
[06:08] <Phoul> I tried
[06:08] <jrib> Phoul: ok, what does this say: which update-flashplugin
[06:08] <Phoul> I cant get it to download iut just goes nuts
[06:08] <Phoul> bash: update-flashplugin: command not found
[06:08] <linuzo> Phoul, download the tar.gz then tell it togoto firefox at /usr/lib/firefox/
[06:09] <linuzo> Phoul, use a download manager like Downloadthemall with firefox and pause and resume it will finish the download from Adobe that's what I did.,
[06:09] <Phoul> err with the which it says nothing
[06:09] <narfmaster> Phoul, flashplugin-nonfree in Synaptic not apt-get
[06:09] <Phoul> whats the diffrence
[06:09] <linuzo> Phoul, here I will send you the plugin
[06:10] <linuzo> Phoul, if I can find it
[06:10] <narfmaster> Phoul, the package expects you to be running Synaptic, IIRC
[06:10] <Phoul> lol
[06:10] <snoops> Phoul are you using amd64 or i386?
[06:10] <jrib> Phoul: what I would do is install flashplugin-nonfree again (since you don't have the update-flashplugin command).  Then download the tar.gz manually from adobe (I can dcc it if it isn't working for you).  And then do 'sudo udpate-flashplugin -l /path/to/directory/containing/tar.gz'
[06:11] <Grok_> trying to d/l something over http that's fairly large (80mb) and my wreless connection gets interrupted periodically and the d/l dies. anyone have any suggestions for something that will provide ftp resume like capabilities?
[06:11] <brandon_> ompaul: what is the "print system currently used" on your ssytem?
[06:11] <Phoul> flashplugin-nonfree seems to stop at "settings up"
[06:11] <narfmaster> Grok_,  wget -c
[06:11] <ompaul> it is cups /usr/sbin/cupsd to be exact
[06:12] <ompaul> brandon_, and that fires off cupsys
[06:12] <Phoul> like it seems to have stalled
[06:12] <narfmaster> Phoul, it is downloading - give it some time
[06:13] <Phoul> it says setting up shouldnt it already be downloaded?
[06:13] <narfmaster> Phoul, the package is just a script that does the downloading
[06:14] <fyrestrtr> is there a way to extract audio from a .rm file?
[06:14] <snoops> fyrestrtr depends - real media files can be streamed, and if so, it's much harder to encode it in something else, plus you're also dealing with copyright issues
[06:15] <ddonky> fyrestrt - re-encode it as a wav and then work on it
[06:15] <fyrestrtr> I have the file right here -- its not copyright restricted.
[06:15] <fyrestrtr> its just that I need to clean up the audio on it. There is a lot of aircondioner noise an I need to mute that, and hopefully get the voice track out of it.
[06:16] <Grok_> narfmaster: thanks...i had tried just using wget with same results. i'll try the -c switch
[06:17] <Tsunamii> question~
[06:17] <Tsunamii> =]
[06:17] <abhinay> iam having a problem with my mouse, suddenly the mouse goes to upper right corner or  it doesn't under my control for sometimes, wot was the problem ?
[06:17] <Redman276> i  have a ? about firestarter ,   i have  it  installed and also have  dhcp inbstalled ,   i start it  after  configuring it , its  working but i get an error  saying   could not start  check syslog for details ,  i check  syslog and  suslog.0  and ther is no reference  to it
[06:18] <ddonky> abhinay - i've noticed mine does that too lately, only mine goes to the upper left a couple times a day
[06:18] <Tsunamii> i just downloaded the latest ver. of ubuntu - will my Geforce 6800GS graphic card be supported?
[06:18] <abhinay> then wot is the solution ???
[06:18] <narfmaster> abhinay, clean your mouse?
[06:19] <RaM0n> hi everyone. where is alsaconf in ubuntu???
[06:19] <snoops> fyrestrtr okay seems like you can use mplayer
[06:19] <fyrestrtr> snoops: okay, how do I extract the sound only?
[06:19] <snoops> looks like the command is something like mplayer infile.rm -ao pcm outfile.wav
[06:20] <finalbeta> I just install freenx, logging in with the client makes it start a new session, can I have the client control the current session?
[06:21] <snoops> finalbeta you and me both! I've asked that question and seems the answer is no :(
[06:21] <snoops> what you can do is, just suspend the session you create with freenx
[06:21] <Tsunamii> an somebody answer my question please? :P
[06:21] <phewl> can you ask it ?
[06:22] <snoops> so when you connect to it again, you just get back to your suspended session.. I may be wrong, and I wish I was
[06:22] <abhinay> !mouse
[06:22] <ubotu> Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto  - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto
[06:22] <finalbeta> snoops, yeah, enother bugfix then. Seems to be what linux is all about. I could use the VNC server already available on ubuntu, but it doesn't refresh the whole screen, xchat sessions etc, don't work.
[06:22] <phewl> how do you change the resolution settings in Unreal tournament(any version) before it starts up, my monitor just says "Cannont display video modes" when i try to run it and i have to close and restart x
[06:22] <Tsunamii> i just downloaded the latest ver. of ubuntu - will my Geforce 6800GS graphic card be supported?
[06:22] <snoops> finalbeta I don't believe it's a bug
[06:23] <iceni> checkinstall makes a binary easier to uninstall doesn't it? is that the main benefit? it should be used if you are just installing something on your system instead of make install?
[06:23] <manopulus> hello, is somebody tested http://linux.softpedia.com/get/System/Clustering-and-Distributed-Networks/OctopuSsh-9326.shtml with ubuntu?
[06:24] <narfmaster> iceni, the main benefit is you can easily uninstall a package that way
[06:24] <java> my wireless card (linksys) shows up as interface = wlan0, however the wiki states it should show up as auth0.. should this be a problem
[06:24] <iceni> narfmaster: OK thanks
[06:24] <narfmaster> iceni, checkinstall is nice that way
[06:25] <Enverex> java, It can show up as different things depending on your chipset
[06:25] <Tsunamii> is there a list of graphic cards that ubuntu has support for?
[06:25] <iceni> narfmaster: good :)
[06:25] <Tsunamii> i want to install it =]
[06:25] <Tsunamii> but not sure if my graphic card will be recognised
[06:25] <McNutella> hey folks.. Im having trouble emptying the trashcan, permissions issue, can someone advise please?
[06:25] <Super_cat_frog> hi - as alsa-conf isn't part of ubuntu, what should I use?
[06:25] <Kaervek> I have a question for anybody that can help:  First, I should say I'm a complete Linux newb.  I updated Ubuntu with Synaptic, and now I have 2 seperate Ubuntu versions showing up in GRUB.  How can I remove the older version without causing any problems?
[06:26] <Foobal> Super_cat_frog: the nice GUI at your menus
[06:26] <phewl> Kaervek, its very simple
[06:26] <sri_> hi! i am downloading a movie in torrent;I have downloaded 135 mb;Then i want to see the movie ;Then i press the stop button & i see the prievew but it is displaying only 6 sec;why??I
[06:26] <snoops> fyrestrtr did that do the trick?
[06:26] <Super_cat_frog> Foobal: where?
[06:26] <java> Enverex i ran sudo dhclient wlan0, i got "No DHCPOFFERS received" why? my router is configured for dhcp
[06:26] <phewl> Kaervek, open up a terminal and type in sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:26] <Kaervek> sri_: do you normally stop torrents to preview them before they're done?
[06:26] <java> Enverex this laptop i'm on is getting the dhcp
[06:26] <Kaervek> Thanks, Phewl!
[06:26] <java> ip lease
[06:27] <_bt> mcnutella: sudo rm -R /home/username/.Trash/*
[06:27] <phewl> Kaervek, then take out the older version and leave the new one
[06:27] <goubuntu> anyone know of a good linux shell host?
[06:27] <Kaervek> phewl, thanks alot, I'll give it a shot right now..
[06:27] <McNutella> _bt, thanks but what about permissions ?
[06:27] <snoops> sri_ torrents by design are made so they get lots of parts from all over the place - and not in sequential order. It could grab the end first then the beginning then some of the middle.. or a bit of everything
[06:27] <lamish> hihi
[06:27] <lamish> can i have some help
[06:27] <Enverex> java, Does iwconfig show anything interesting?
[06:27] <lamish> i dotn konow how to install any progs..
[06:27] <_bt> should be okay with sudi, McNutella
[06:27] <_bt> sudo*
[06:27] <phewl> lamish, ask your question
[06:28] <lamish> i have downloaded amsn.tar.bz or what its calld
[06:28] <Tsunamii> is there a list of graphic cards that ubuntu has support for?
[06:28] <sri_> snoops, ok;thank u
[06:28] <McNutella> _bt, I mean when I use right click on UI
[06:28] <fyrestrtr> snoops: okay, got the audio out, now what do I use to edit it?
[06:28] <lamish> but i dont know how to intall it
[06:28] <IraqiGeek> hi all
[06:28] <sri_> Kaervek, ya
[06:28] <picket> tar- xzvf filename
[06:28] <lamish> how do install it
[06:28] <fyrestrtr> Tsunamii: https://wiki.ubunut.com/Video
[06:28] <picket> tar -xzvf filename
[06:28] <_bt> McNutella, maybe you moved something that didn't belong to you to the trash
[06:28] <java> Enverex no.. pretty good
[06:28] <Tsunamii> ta fyrestrtr =]
[06:28] <narfmaster> lamish, sudo apt-get install amsn
[06:28] <lamish> picket you say tar -xzvf filname to me?
[06:28] <McNutella> _bt, much thanks
[06:29] <picket> yes sir
[06:29] <IraqiGeek> i have installed xubuntu on my acer c104 tablet but cant get neither the lan nor the wifi interfaces to work
[06:29] <snoops> fyrestrtr probably the simplist audio editing programme I've seen for nix would be umm audacity
[06:29] <Kaervek> sri_, I suggest you let the torrent finish downloading.  You aren't necessarily getting the files in sequential order with a torrent.
[06:29] <java> Enverex i'm going through the wiki.. everything seems to be checking out fine
[06:29] <Tsunamii> fyrestrtr: doesn't work, but i'll try the search feature =P
[06:29] <java> Enverex just that i can't seem to get an address
[06:30] <Kaervek> sri_, if the 6 seconds you viewed provided you with enough information to know if the quality was sufficient, you're going to have to complete the download to get anything conclusive.
[06:30] <sri_> Kaervek, ok thank u
[06:30] <Super_cat_frog> Foobal: whats the name of the app? i cant find it
[06:31] <Kaervek> phewl, for the sake of discussion here are the two version listed: Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-23-amd64-generic; Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-26-amd64-generic
[06:31] <Kaervek> I'll go ahead and remove 15-23.  Thanks again.
[06:33] <Enverex> ARGH
[06:33] <programmer> how can i start ubuntu in console mode
[06:33] <Enverex> I've downloaded the stupid alternate Ubuntu image twice now on my Ubuntu laptop and both times the file has just... dissapeared
[06:34] <iceni> does anyone use xchat? is there a script to show what i'm listening to with any player?
[06:34] <Chousuke> Enverex: run updatedb as root and use locate to find it.
[06:35] <thomas_> programmer: at grub you should have the possibility to choose between normal startup and Recovery Mode
[06:35] <Enverex> Chousuke, I just did find / | grep alternate and it didn't find it, grrr
[06:35] <thomas_> programmer: in recovery mode there is only the console
[06:36] <Chousuke> Enverex: Mysterious
[06:36] <programmer> I want ubuntu to always start in console mode. I would then like to start gnome using startx
[06:36] <thomas_> programmer: was this the answer what you are searching for ?
[06:37] <thomas_> so you mean /etc/init.d/gdm start ?

[06:37] <Paladine> I have seena couple in theme screenshots recently
[06:37] <thomas_> programmer: let me think
[06:38] <iceni> PacketScan: thanks, i forgot where i was for a second lol
[06:38] <PacketScan> no i don't mean here..
[06:38] <PacketScan> i mean in the other channels your in :d
[06:38] <thomas_> programmer: so ubuntu should always start in console mode and from there you would like to start the xserver yourself with /etc/init.d/gdm start
[06:38] <tombs> hi all
[06:38] <PacketScan> the touture..  omg i shoudl just shut up while i'm ahead
[06:38] <programmer> yes

[06:59] <mp3guy> Goobox never reports the correct timing of the last track of any cd, and therfore won't download cd track data, I need version .9.93 or some version that doesn't have this bug
[06:59] <linux_user400354> !ssh
[06:59] <ubotu> ssh is the Secure SHell protocol (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SSHHowto). Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows, which can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[06:59] <finalbeta> I'm looking for remote control software, where I can take over the current running session? the VNC server that comes with dapper is to buggy.
[07:00] <Gassed> ?
[07:00] <linux_user400354> Gassed, read that

[07:00] <radar_1976> ardchoille: any idea?
[07:00] <linux_user400354> Gassed, use ssh with X forwarding
[07:00] <Gassed> How do I connect to the Linux machine with VMWare Server Console (from the Windows machine)
[07:00] <radar_1976> i can't copy the files using scp either
[07:00] <Gassed> linux_user400354: I'm not that experienced with this stuff
[07:00] <ardchoille> radar_1976: No, I have never seen that
[07:01] <santa_> serge: where from did you install the drivers
[07:01] <Razer> hi i need to code to change my screen resolution
[07:01] <ardchoille> !fixres > Razer
[07:01] <linux_user400354> Gassed, you can get openssh for windows and use it to login to the ubuntu server
[07:01] <Mau> does anyone plays classic doom (1,2 TNT etc) in linux (prboom)??
[07:01] <Gassed> hang on
[07:01] <Gassed> or shall I just use PuTTY?
[07:02] <linux_user400354> putty doesnt support X forwarding
[07:02] <serge> santa_, I followed a howto on the ubuntu forums
[07:02] <linux_user400354> you need cygwin to do that
[07:02] <radar_1976> ardchoille: is there any other way to get the files off the machine
[07:02] <serge> santa_, so using apt-get install etc etc.
[07:02] <santa_> serge: ok
[07:03] <santa_> pls post me your xorg.conf in pastebin

The kernel boots but toward the end of the kernel boot process my screen goes black, it does not go into power-save mode though.

[07:03] <Enverex> (like Hoary to Dapper, etc)
[07:03] <Gassed> linux_user400354: Shall I just use PuTTY or do I need OpenSSH
[07:03] <Ropechoborra> I got an ftp with program files, http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ocrad/, how do i know wich one i got to download to install de program?
[07:04] <radar_1976> ardchoille: my gf is not happy
[07:04] <ardchoille> radar_1976: I don't know of any way you can do that if you're getting I/O errors
[07:04] <linux_user400354> either one will work, but you will need openssh with cygwin if you want to use X forwarding
[07:04] <serge> santa_, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18163
[07:04] <Gassed> URL?
[07:04] <radar_1976> ardchoille: i have never seen this before either
[07:05] <Gassed> I just want to remotely use the VMWare Server, when you start the Console you are asked to choose a server to login to, either localhost or a remote one
[07:05] <santa_> serge: download http://www.ground-impact.com/libGL.so.1.2 and copy this file into /usr/lib
[07:06] <serge> okay
[07:06] <offroadgeek> how do you update the hardware list/devices after the install is complete (ie. plugged in an ethernet adaptor)?
[07:06] <santa_> serge: then run fglrxinfo again and it should work
[07:06] <Gassed> linux_user400354: I just want to remotely use the VMWare Server, when you start the Console you are asked to choose a server to login to, either localhost or a remote on

[07:06] <jonass> i need help with firefox: ff does not remember cookies, bookmarks and setting changes
[07:06] <santa_> save link as
[07:06] <serge> kk
[07:07] <kbrosnan> jonass, have you tried a new profile?
[07:07] <jonass> no
[07:07] <jonass> how to manage this?
[07:08] <linux_user400354> Gassed, ssh is the way to do it
[07:08] <ardchoille> jonass: Open ff, then go to Edit -> Preferences
[07:08] <jonass> ok thanks ardchoille
[07:08] <Gassed> But what is the dialogue on VMWare Server Console for then
[07:08] <jonass> ah i have a second question, also concerning ff
[07:08] <ardchoille> jonass: You're welcome :)
[07:09] <jonass> when pressing wheel up ff is going backwards and not scrolling up
[07:09] <jonass> quite uncool ;)

[07:10] <serge> kk
[07:10] <serge> santa_, it worked
[07:10] <linux_user400354> Gassed, youd be better off installing ubuntu on a spare computer if you want to learn it
[07:10] <santa_> so
[07:10] <serge> displays the correct thing, and thats it now?
[07:10] <Gassed> I have 2 PCs
[07:10] <santa_> fglrxinfo doesn't show you errors now ?
[07:10] <Gassed> I have no spare
[07:11] <serge> nope
[07:11] <Razer> where can i find a step by step guide on how to install a driver for my nvidia graphic's crad
[07:11] <peterretief> I would really like some help getting the web interface for cups to work
[07:11] <Tomatix> www.ubuntuguide.org
[07:11] <serge> !nvidia > Razer
[07:11] <santa_> serge, so i think this is a problem in the driver update
[07:11] <linux_user400354> !nvidia
[07:11] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:11] <Gassed> linux_user400354: What is the dialogue on WMWare Server Console for that lets you connect to a remote machine
[07:11] <serge> santa_, but I've fixxed it right?
[07:12] <santa_> serge, yeah
[07:12] <peterretief> i have included cupsys in the shadow group and still cannot log into the admin cups
[07:12] <serge> good, ty :)
[07:12] <ardchoille> !nvidia > Razer
[07:12] <linux_user400354> im not sure. ive used vmplayer, but not vmserver
[07:12] <santa_> serge, np
[07:12] <Gassed> hmmm
[07:12] <papst> networkmanager: as great as it is, i'd like a way to use it without whatsoever applet (console only would be nice). any hint?
[07:12] <Foobal> Gassed: it should get added automatically to your menus actually.. but you can download it from vmware without the rest of the components too
[07:13] <Gassed> huh
[07:13] <foxpaul> does anyone know how i can start beagle and have the system tray icon enabled?
[07:13] <Gassed> Foobal: What do you mean

[07:15] <mister_roboto> has anyone here had problems shutting down recently? my laptop, completely up-to-date dapper, won't shut down any longer via logout/turn off computer.
[07:15] <Gassed> install it as a scanner?
[07:15] <offroadgeek> anyone know if you can re-run hardware detection in dapper?
[07:16] <Ropechoborra> Gassed yup.. i Want to scan a document but wont find any scan hardware =/
[07:16] <Gassed> Hmmm.
[07:16] <kbrosnan> jonass, use a command window to run firefox -P
[07:16] <Gassed> soz i dont know
[07:16] <webben1> Can anyone recommend a good program for listening to podcasts on ubuntu?
[07:18] <Burrito-Reading> hi all
[07:19] <Burrito> I'm having a bit of a problem using wget
[07:19] <finalbeta> I'm looking for remote control software, where I can take over the current running session? the VNC server that comes with dapper is to buggy.
[07:19] <Burrito> my password has a bang(!) in it and so when I run my command to fetch a file it dies
[07:20] <GI_joe> ?!
[07:20] <olrrai> what bigger must be /boot for ubuntu?
[07:20] <Dr4g> use Remote Desktop on ubuntu finalbeta
[07:20] <Burrito> is there anyway I can esape that char in my password so it doesn't try to parse it?
[07:20] <jrib> Burrito: did you try enclosing it in ''
[07:20] <krism> burepe:  \! should work too..
[07:20] <BabbleWab> Wondering if anyone's able to help. I've tried to run a LiveCD of Ubuntu (both i386 and AMD64 - I'm on a Athlon64). The status checks all return fine "x.. OK" and all of the checksums also return fine. However, after it does its initial setting up and stuff, it just goes to a blank screen - any suggestions?
[07:20] <cool_nick> farhanahmed: i need to configure my ups(APC), can anyone help me. . .
[07:20] <Burrito> yes krism! that worked!
[07:20] <krism> Burrito, even.
[07:20] <finalbeta> Dr4g, that's the default one I talked about, it's way buggy for me, can't scrol. text just goes over text. weird
[07:20] <Burrito> thank you very much
[07:20] <finalbeta> Dr4g, PM
[07:21] <cool_nick> i need to configure my ups(APC), can anyone help me. . .
[07:21] <olrrai> what bigger must be /boot for ubuntu?
[07:21] <GI_joe> BabbleWab, maybe it's your graphics card that x doesen't respond well to
[07:22] <GI_joe> olrrai, i do not understand
[07:22] <BabbleWab> An earlier version of Kubuntu worked, GI_joe - and it's a fairly common card
[07:22] <GI_joe> are you talking about your partitions?
[07:22] <BabbleWab> ATI Radeon 9800
[07:22] <highvoltage> how do i enable my cups web interface in ubuntu?
[07:22] <olrrai> what is the recomended space for /boot on ubuntu?
[07:23] <krogh> olrrai: Why make a seperate /boot ?
[07:23] <cool_nick> olrrai: 100 Megs would be better. . .
[07:23] <nickwebcouk> whats the best way to partition my ubuntu drive, install windows, then get a dual boot going? any owto's (without destroyin data)
[07:24] <olrrai> and what is the recomended space for / (without /var,/usr,/tmp,/home) on ubuntu?
[07:24] <krogh> 1GB
[07:24] <snoops> nickwebcouk err well windows will overwrite grub no matter
[07:24] <jrib> highvoltage: zless /usr/share/doc/cupsys/README.Debian.gz , but you can just use system > administration > printing instead
[07:24] <nickwebcouk> ye
[07:24] <cool_nick> olrrai: hard disk capacity please. . .
[07:24] <highvoltage> jrib: thank you, i'll read that. i'd like to use the web interface though
[07:24] <t0dd`> is there a programming editor that comes with an ubuntu installation?
[07:24] <Enverex> I just have a 100MB /boot, 1GB swap and the rest for / . Partitioning anymore always seems pointless to me
[07:25] <Dromen> anyone know of a place i could host an open source game that uses one port? preferably for free and uses very little cpu
[07:25] <olrrai> 120
[07:25] <jrib> highvoltage: k, the info is towards the bottom
[07:25] <olrrai> 120 G
[07:25] <narfmaster> t0dd`, gedit is not bad for programming
[07:25] <snoops> nickwebcouk so I believe the best approach is use something like gparted if you don't have any unpartitioned space.. resize the partition
[07:25] <smorsony> Anybody know if it's possible to boot Ubuntu 6.06 from a usb pen?
[07:25] <Enverex> bluefish is the best IMHO
[07:25] <snoops> narfmaster depends entirely on what you're programming
[07:25] <nickwebcouk> snoops, ye..
[07:25] <cool_nick> olrrai: home requires more space than others. . .
[07:25] <t0dd`> is there a version of notepad++ for linux?
[07:25] <webben1> with rhythmbox, is it possible to download old podcasts in a series, like itunes allows?
[07:25] <narfmaster> t0dd`, leafpad
[07:26] <t0dd`> oo, ok
[07:26] <snoops> nickwebcouk this might be a bit sneaky and not sure if it'll work.. but you can backup your mbr - and only the boot manager part of the mbr
[07:26] <snoops> so you can leave the partition table changed
[07:26] <olrrai> if I copy DVD to DVD where was the tmp image?
[07:26] <snoops> then it may just work
[07:26] <peterretief> jrib: thanks
[07:26] <olrrai> . /tmp ? /var?
[07:27] <snoops> nickwebcouk anyway - install windows.. boot off of ubuntu live cd.. chroot into your install, reinstall grub
[07:27] <GI_joe> what would you use to rip whole websites for offline browsing in ubuntu? the server is slow as molasses and i could probably download it all within a day or two... in windows i remember using get right, couldnt get the getright browser working under wine though...
[07:27] <snoops> that's one option
[07:27] <snoops> and you can follow that through
[07:27] <livingdaylight> Yo, YO Guys!!!

[07:27] <snoops> !grub
[07:27] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[07:28] <livingdaylight> i just installed Flight Gear; guess what? it ain't anywhere i can see on my system!

[07:28] <nickwebcouk> snoops, good thinking there batman! that shuld b a scene from csi! :P
[07:28] <Ropechoborra> How do i install a scanner ?
[07:28] <t0dd`> thanks, narfmaster
[07:28] <narfmaster> t0dd`, you're welcome
[07:28] <Scrippie> sup?
[07:28] <GI_joe> Ropechoborra, depends entirely on what scanner it is
[07:28] <Ropechoborra> Its a multyfunction printer
[07:28] <livingdaylight> I used Synaptic to install flight gear, which it has apparently done, so why is it not under games or even if i tyupe flightgear in commandline it doesn't recognise the name
[07:28] <Ropechoborra> Epson stylus
[07:29] <livingdaylight> Ropechoborra: thats easy
[07:29] <t0dd`> mm, leafpad requires GTK libraries.. is there a name for the package to retrieve those quickly?
[07:29] <GI_joe> Ropechoborra, it should be suported through "snapscan"
[07:29] <livingdaylight> Ropechoborra: plug it in and go to system/administration
[07:29] <livingdaylight> Ropechoborra: System/Administration/Printing
[07:30] <Ropechoborra> I've already done that
[07:30] <livingdaylight> Ropechoborra: click on 'add printer' and bob is your uncle
[07:30] <Ropechoborra> But it wont scan
[07:30] <Ropechoborra> =(
[07:30] <Enverex> How easy/hard is it to make a package for ubuntu (of a program obviously)?
[07:30] <Burrito> ok another newbish question
[07:30] <livingdaylight> Ropechoborra: select your printer make and model and install
[07:30] <narfmaster> livingdaylight, fgfs
[07:30] <Burrito> how do I set up a cron job?
[07:30] <livingdaylight> narfmaster: fgfs?
[07:30] <Ropechoborra> livingdaylight its installed but dont scan
[07:30] <narfmaster> livingdaylight, yes
[07:31] <RvGaTe> What firefox plugin could i use to playback embedded wmv/mpg movies
[07:31] <livingdaylight> narfmaster: i don't know what fgfs means, sorry
[07:31] <Enverex> RvGaTe, Look up mplayerplugin and totemplugin
[07:31] <ardchoille> RvGaTe: iirc, there's an MPlayer plugin that can do that in Firefox
[07:31] <livingdaylight> Ropechoborra: darn then...that how i got my multifunction epson printer/scanner/copier to work
[07:31] <GI_joe> gxine or totem or mplayer or whatever
[07:31] <RvGaTe> ardchoille, alright, ill look into it
[07:31] <narfmaster> livingdaylight, fgfs = flightgear command
[07:31] <livingdaylight> narfmaster: oh...you diamond geezer, thx
[07:32] <narfmaster> heh no problem
[07:32] <Ropechoborra> livingdaylight cant wait to know :P
[07:32] <livingdaylight> narfmaster: how the hell is one supposed to know that!?
[07:32] <narfmaster> livingdaylight, psychic powers ;)
[07:32] <Enverex> Aww crap, the Ubuntu DesktopCD and Alternate CDs neither see my RAID properly, they just see both drives individually, can anyone help?
[07:32] <ardchoille> haha
[07:32] <Burrito> can someone help me with cron?
[07:32] <livingdaylight> narfmaster:  '<  yes, please
[07:32] <ardchoille> Burrito: I can try
[07:33] <Burrito> ok, I have my command working (it's a command to fetch a file from an ftp server every week)
[07:33] <GI_joe> Can i use wget to rip websites?
[07:33] <Burrito> I just need to add it to a cron job to run every friday at 2:00 am
[07:33] <Foobal> Enverex: that's because you don't have a proper raid card but a software assisted crap chip - too bad.
[07:33] <Burrito> don't even know where to start
[07:33] <Enverex> Foobal, That
[07:33] <GI_joe> what would you use to rip whole websites for offline browsing in ubuntu? the server is slow as molasses and i could probably download it all within a day or two... in windows i remember using get right, couldnt get the getright browser working under wine though...
[07:33] <Enverex> Foobal, : That's it? "too bad"?
[07:33] <ardchoille> Burrito: hold on..
[07:33] <Burrito> k thx
[07:34] <Enverex> So much for friendly distro
[07:34] <livingdaylight> narfmaster: cant get the thing in the air :|

[07:35] <void^> Enverex: onboard raid?
[07:35] <Enverex> Yeah, nForce4
[07:36] <void^> ...
[07:36] <Enverex> I managed to get it working with dmraid, initrd and such on Gentoo, but if the installer can't even see it I don't see an easy way around it
[07:36] <ardchoille> Burrito: 00 02 * * 05 /path/to/script

[07:37] <webben1> GI_joe, there's a recursive option
[07:38] <ardchoille> Burrito: no, yu need to follow the crontab syntax, and you must use the full path to the file/script
[07:39] <sri_> I inserted a cd with scratches & my cd rom is not responding to eject I tried eject;Can any one help me?
[07:39] <dash`> how can I open a video file through the console?
[07:39] <Fermin> hi
[07:39] <dash`> I seem to have a problem with Totem
[07:39] <GI_joe> webben1, thanks - a simple yes would have done though
[07:39] <DrShade> Hello!  I'm attempting to boot a kernel and initrd through instlux to install Ubuntu 6.06 and encounter a problem.  The kernel boots but toward the end of the kernel boot process my screen goes black, it does not go into power-save mode though.  I am wondering what are some kernel params I can try to alleviate this?  I think it might be monitor/video card related.
[07:39] <sri_> dash`, what is the format ?u have vlc??
[07:40] <dash`> no
[07:40] <narfmaster> sri_, try: eject -r
[07:40] <dash`> atm the only media player I have is Totem, I think
[07:40] <Enverex> No ideas on how to get nForce4 RAID working with Ubuntu then?
[07:40] <sri_> dash`, what are the players u have?
[07:40] <sri_> narfmaster, 1m
[07:40] <dash`> if I try to open the file via GUI, it shows the loading window, then goes away
[07:40] <dash`> sri_ :: just Totem atm
[07:41] <sri_> narfmaster, ya;thanku
[07:41] <narfmaster> sri_, no problem
[07:41] <godtvisken> DrShade: well, it is probably attempting to go into X. you could hit crtl+alt+f1 to see what the error message might be (or cntrl+alt+f8)
[07:41] <sri_> dash`, now go to the directory u have the vedios & then type"totem filename"
[07:41] <dadgumit> weir, I took out linux-kk7--ssmmp  bbuutt I sstiill hhave  smpp??
[07:42] <dadgumit> iideass??
[07:42] <wietz0r> I am now officially a linux user :D
[07:42] <dash`> sri_ ::  it gives no errors or anything, but doesn't do anything
[07:42] <dadgumit> I                                                                                aam aa bbrookken  linnuxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  uuser
[07:42] <wietz0r> I'm not
[07:42] <DrShade> godtvisken, thanks for the info!  What exactly will Ctrl + Alt + F1 do?  Is this to open a console window?
[07:42] <Ropechoborra> i cant get my scanner to work =((((((((((((((
[07:42] <godtvisken> How do I pash a parameter to what was a module of my kernel, to what now is built in?
[07:43] <sri_> dash`, Have u installed the plugins?
[07:43] <wietz0r> I had to use the 5.10 install disk, the 6.06 won't boot
[07:43] <dash`> sri_ :: yes, I am sure they worked a few days ago
[07:43] <sri_> dash`, Why dont u try vlc?
[07:43] <livingdaylight> ok, so Flightgear is not ready for my computer yet
[07:43] <dadgumit> sserriioouuslyy am  iin                                                                                diire neeedd
[07:43] <dash`> I am installing as we speak
[07:43] <sri_> dash`, it is a better option
[07:43] <godtvisken> DrShade: well, in linux there are virtual logins, called ttys. it switches to tty1 (or 8) where the loading messages appear. X typically loads in tty7. it's like having 8 console logins
[07:44] <livingdaylight> So, what did i just spend money on a nviia 6600gt graphics card for then?
[07:44] <santa_> he livingdaylight
[07:44] <wietz0r> I need some help
[07:44] <livingdaylight> I hate flightgear - i sux
[07:44] <livingdaylight> santa_: hey
[07:44] <dadgumit> leaastt yyouu cann ttyppe ::||
[07:44] <Ropechoborra> livingdaylight wich program do u use to scan??
[07:44] <wietz0r> I have an acer aspire 9500 and the trackpad is WAAAAAAAAY to sensitive
[07:44] <santa_> livingdaylight: and happy about your 6600 GT
[07:44] <narfmaster> livingdaylight, Doom/Quake/Warcraft/whatever
[07:44] <wietz0r> How do I fix this ?
[07:44] <RvGaTe> ardchoille, hmm, seems to stream alright, but no video...
[07:45] <livingdaylight> santa_: i went hunting for my 6600gt and caught one
[07:45] <Ropechoborra> livingdaylight XSane says that no device has been found
[07:45] <santa_> livingdaylight: and happy about it
[07:45] <livingdaylight> santa_: not sure
[07:45] <dadgumit> :((
[07:45] <livingdaylight> santa_: first i was told i'd be able to get XGL with my onboard graphics card
[07:45] <DrShade> godtvisken, I shall try that, thanks for the info!
[07:46] <godtvisken> DrShade: so.. that should hopefully be able to tell you more closely about your problem
[07:46] <livingdaylight> santa_: which was the primary reason for getting it
[07:46] <nvez> anyone knows why openoffice spellcheck would not work (no errors, just says everything is ok"
[07:46] <Tommy2k4> X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 168
[07:46] <Tommy2k4> i get that error twice every time i open something from konsole, what does it mean
[07:46] <livingdaylight> santa_: it has added a lot of noice i didn't have before
[07:46] <mister_roboto> has anyone here had problems shutting down recently? my laptop, completely up-to-date dapper, won't shut down any longer via logout/turn off computer.
[07:46] <mp3guy> is it possible to/productive to rip 3CDs at a time with 3 different drives?
[07:46] <ardchoille> RvGaTe: Hmm.. never seen that happen. Maybe ne of the video gurus here can help with it.. but I think that the mplayer plugin is the right idea.
[07:46] <santa_> livingdaylight, could think
[07:47] <santa_> livingdaylight, so are you running xgl at the moment ?
[07:47] <ardchoille> mp3guy: You sure picked the right nick, lol
[07:47] <t0dd`> is there a gtk package that ubuntu can directly retrieve?
[07:47] <livingdaylight> santa_: nope, took me a day to configure nvidia :)
[07:47] <RvGaTe> ardchoille, thats what im currently using, it could also be a web-site problem.... could you try and open something from http://www.channelchooser.com/ ?
[07:47] <livingdaylight> santa_: i had a go but got stuck with authenticating gpg license
[07:47] <ardchoille> RvGaTe: I don't have the mplayer plugin installed on this machine
[07:48] <RvGaTe> ardchoille, what do you use then ?
[07:48] <Ropechoborra> livingdaylight it says Status: Ready: Printer Fault
[07:48] <ardchoille> RvGaTe: on this machine? nothing, I have no ff plugins on this machine
[07:48] <livingdaylight> santa_: then i went to #xgl but i couldn't get a squeek out of anyone; so i just gave it a brake
[07:48] <Ropechoborra> What can that be?
[07:48] <t0dd`> whenever I try to configure leafpad, I am told my gtk libraries are incorrectly installed
[07:48] <santa_> livingdaylight, could think spend yesterday nearly whole the day to get my nvidia to run the way i want it to
[07:48] <livingdaylight> Ropechoborra: i'm a noob myself. if it don't work the easy way then i don't know how to help - sorry
[07:49] <ardchoille> Can anyone help RvGaTe get mpeg/wmv video working in Firefox?
[07:49] <santa_> RvGaTe, there should be some packages available
[07:49] <livingdaylight> santa_: you spent the day yesterday getting nvidia to run the way you wanted it to?
[07:49] <santa_> RvGaTe, some plugins
[07:49] <RvGaTe> santa_, i tried mplayer plugin, but that gives me sound only...
[07:49] <santa_> livingdaylight, yeah took me really long
[07:50] <livingdaylight> santa_: it aint easy is it?
[07:50] <santa_> RvGaTe, wait a minut have to look for my self
[07:50] <lassegs> is there a XGL channel or do i ask my xgl questions here?
[07:50] <livingdaylight> santa_: i don't even know if i got it working right, hadn't had a chance to test it.
[07:50] <santa_> livingdaylight, my card seems to have a espacially problem
[07:50] <RvGaTe> santa_, take your time...
[07:50] <webben1> is there any way to get APT to grab suggested and recommended packages when you install a package?
[07:50] <TheWahbinator> #xgl-ubuntu
[07:50] <livingdaylight> santa_: that is why i installed flight gear to check out a game, but can't get flight gear to work
[07:50] <lassegs> thanks
[07:50] <Dreamglider> can i scan my windows partion for viruses and other bad things with Ubuntu ?
[07:50] <livingdaylight> santa_: yea, you got 5200 if i remember right
[07:51] <santa_> livingdaylight, right
[07:51] <freddyubuntu> ladies and gentelmen, I dont hear any sound in my dapper ubuntu .. it used to work before , please help me .[in the past I used to fix the problem by restarting the computer,now even restarting the pc wont work]
[07:51] <santa_> RvGaTe, did you enable all repositories
[07:51] <freddyubuntu> plz help me to fix my sound problem
[07:51] <livingdaylight> santa_: but these graphics cards make a hell of a hum....
[07:51] <RvGaTe> santa_, think so
[07:51] <sri_> Dreamglider, what are u talking about?can linux detect a windows virus??lol
[07:52] <santa_> RvGaTe, do you have a site to test it myself
[07:52] <cius> livingdaylight, you know about glxgears right?
[07:52] <livingdaylight> cius: no, tell me
[07:52] <Cntryboy> anyone use xwinwrap?
[07:52] <RvGaTe> santa_, testing it at http://www.channelchooser.com/
[07:52] <cius> that could tell you whether or not you have 3d acceleration
[07:52] <santa_> livingdaylight, yeah thats right
[07:52] <cius> type glxgears into a terminal
[07:52] <freddyubuntu> did anybody read my messages?
[07:52] <cius> if it runs smooth, you've got accel, otherwise, its using software opengl to try and run
[07:53] <livingdaylight> cius: yea? the wheels are spinning smooth, does that prove i got 3D?
[07:53] <cius> yes, it does
[07:53] <livingdaylight> cius: cool  8-)  nice trick. Its reassuring to know that at least
[07:54] <ardchoille> cius: what does glxinfo | grep render prove?
[07:54] <santa_> RvGaTe, tested local mpeg and wmv before ?
[07:54] <Cntryboy> anyone use xwinwrap?
[07:54] <sri_> Hi!my cc compilers are not working on c++prog why?even gcc compilers are not working on c++;Why?
[07:54] <freddyubuntu> I dont hear any sound  in ubuntu...it used to work before.
[07:54] <Dreamglider> sri_, i'm asking if i can scan a windows partion for viruses yes.
[07:54] <livingdaylight> santa_: have you tried Kororaa? gentoo based live cd with XGL
[07:54] <cius> ardchoille, I would think that would tell you whether or not you have render acceleration, which is an xorg thing, nothing to do with opengl in particular iirc
[07:54] <RvGaTe> santa_, nope... but thats not what im aiming for... i do have an avi file somewhere i could test with tho...
[07:55] <sri_> Dreamglider, no
[07:55] <ardchoille> cius: Ahh, ok, that helps me understand a bit more. Thank you.
[07:55] <flodine> hello ubuntu folk s why should i leave suse for dapper?
[07:55] <Dreamglider> are you sure ?
[07:55] <livingdaylight> flodine: why should i leave Dapper for SUSE?
[07:55] <sri_> Dreamglider, but if u know the virus in the files u can del them
[07:56] <santa_> livingdaylight, no I am enjoing xl/compiz on my Dapper
[07:56] <cius> ardchoille, okay, I just tested it :-) never actually used that before now, it tells you whether or not you have direct rendering enable (dri)
[07:56] <ardchoille> flodine: IMHO, you should try different distros and switch to the one which works best for you
[07:56] <freddyubuntu> ha ha nobody even reads my messages !
[07:56] <freddyubuntu> I am so un wanted
[07:56] <Ayabara> do you guys use vlc version 0.8.4 from the dapper repos, or 0.8.5 / nightly builds?
[07:56] <livingdaylight> santa_: its a live distro to test whether xgl would work on your system
[07:56] <livingdaylight> santa_: its nice!
[07:56] <santa_> RvGaTe, test the totem-xine-firefox-plugin
...guess no one reads your msg...lol

[07:57] <santa_> livingdaylight, could imagine but don't need to test xgl isn't really needing much resources
[07:57] <ardchoille> jonass: Have a look in /var/log
[07:57] <santa_> livingdaylight, should be no problem if your graphic card is configured correctly
[07:57] <jonass> and where exactly ardchoille ?
[07:57] <cius> freddyubuntu, you have no sound at all?
[07:57] <livingdaylight> santa_: seems it is
[07:57] <Redman276> i need some firestarter help
[07:57] <Ayabara> is picasa and google earth the only googlesw that run in ubuntu? what about google desktop search?

[07:58] <freddyubuntu> clus - yeah NO SOUND
[07:58] <alex-weej> ut2004 on Xgl without starting a second X server, anyone?
[07:58] <santa_> RvGaTe, report in if it works
[07:58] <livingdaylight> flodine: are you disappointed with suse?
[07:58] <santa_> alex-weej, does it give problems ?
[07:58] <alex-weej> santa_: 2 X servers with fglrx = DIE DIE DIE
[07:58] <cius> freddyubuntu, did you use the live cd to install?  Is this an older installation in which sound used to work but suddenly quit for some reason, or what?
[07:58] <freddyubuntu> clus , I have NO SOUND...I used to have..
[07:58] <ardchoille> jonass: I remember seeing boot messages in /var/log/messages
[07:58] <sri_> can any one tell where the python discussion takes place??
[07:59] <freddyubuntu> yeah CLUS
[07:59] <freddyubuntu> yes clus I used live cd to install
[07:59] <jonah1980> hi i've got scribus-ng.deb file for i386 and i wondered if there is a way to force it to install despite wrong architecture as i'm on 64bit
[07:59] <livingdaylight> santa_: xgl ran sweet on my system when i tested it with the kororaa live cd  :D
[07:59] <Plageuis> hey ENZER its me bortzman MSG me ok plz?
[07:59] <CaveTrog> Need help setting up Linux local attached printer for Win Net Users...any takers?
[07:59] <tga> hey, any idea if it is possible to remove an email address from a GPG key without revoking the whole key?
[07:59] <cius> freddyubuntu, did sound work on the live cd?
[07:59] <santa_> alex-weej: freezing screen or what
[07:59] <freddyubuntu> yeah
[07:59] <freddyubuntu> it worked
[07:59] <freddyubuntu> it even worked after install
[07:59] <alex-weej> santa_: death.
[07:59] <alex-weej> of my kernel.
[07:59] <santa_> livingdaylight, could imagine with a nvidia 6600 GT
[07:59] <freddyubuntu> but it stopped working today
[07:59] <livingdaylight> flodine: Ubuntu is an African word which means I kick ass
[07:59] <matid> Ayabara: there are also some Firefox extensions that should work
[07:59] <santa_> alex-weej: maybe not the right to answer your question try it at #xgl
[08:00] <livingdaylight> santa_: LOL don't be jealous  :)
[08:00] <cius> freddyubuntu, did you install something today or yesterday that may have changed something to do with the sound server?
[08:00] <freddyubuntu> clus NO
[08:00] <sri_> can any one tell where the python discussion takes place??
[08:00] <livingdaylight> santa_: i'll swap my card for your laptop anyday  '<
[08:00] <picket>  #oython
[08:00] <picket> #python
[08:00] <Tonren> I just embarked on a long and arduous journey through Window Manager Land.
[08:00] <freddyubuntu> clus i had this problem before...but I could fix it with Restarting my PC
[08:00] <KenSentMe> I'm filing a bug report for opening .ai files in inkscape and now i have to add a small .ai file to the report. Can anyone send me a small .ai file, i don't have Adobe Illustrator myself
[08:00] <freddyubuntu> clus - but now even restarting wont wokr
[08:01] <sri_> picket, /join #python?
[08:01] <wietz0r> how do I get services to run automatically ?
[08:01] <santa_> livingdaylight, yeah maybe i like my laptop really its my sweetheart anyway
[08:01] <picket> jupp
[08:01] <wietz0r> how do I get services to run automatically ?
[08:01] <santa_> RvGaTe, did it worked ?
[08:01] <t0dd`> how do you extract the files from a bz2 file?
[08:01] <RvGaTe> santa_, gives me an error that MS WMV (win32) is not handled, and i should install aditional plugins
[08:01] <cius> freddyubuntu, I assume you've done normal troubleshooting?  check the speaker connections, make sure they're turned on, turned up, not muted, make sure the volume isn't muted in your sound preferences, etc?
[08:01] <CaveTrog> Need help setting up Linux local attached printer for Win Net Users...any takers?
[08:01] <alex-weej> santa_: ok it worked. ish. it killed Xgl when i started a new X server
[08:01] <sri_> picket, /join #python?
[08:01] <livingdaylight> santa_: tseliot told me to be careful not to screw my system up flirting with XGL
[08:02] <santa_> RvGaTe, so your missing some codecs
[08:02] <freddyubuntu> clus - they work in windows, and I have checked the volume
[08:02] <t0dd`> nevermind
[08:02] <RvGaTe> santa_, looks like it, yeah
[08:02] <santa_> alex-weej, yeah so thats the reason i took the method to start xgl as session
[08:02] <ardchoille> santa_: would w32codecs be the one he's missing?
[08:02] <cius> freddyubuntu, do you know what sound card you have?
[08:02] <livingdaylight> flodine: have your questions been answered?
[08:02] <santa_> RvGaTe, think i know what codecs are missing
[08:02] <freddyubuntu> it is Onboard
[08:02] <santa_> RvGaTe, yeah think so too
[08:02] <alex-weej> santa_: i don't wanna have to log out every time i want to play a game.
[08:02] <freddyubuntu> INTEL onboard
[08:02] <freddyubuntu> it is on ASUS motherboard
[08:02] <alex-weej> santa_: surely they have this sorted in SLED10
[08:03] <krism> anyone reccomend a (gnome/gtk) subversion client?
[08:03] <cius> freddyubuntu, so its an asus board with an intel sound chipset?
[08:03] <freddyubuntu> yeah
[08:03] <gorski> how to compile & run in kdevelop?
[08:03] <cius> freddyubuntu, can you give me a model number for the mobo?
[08:03] <santa_> RvGaTe, try the w32codecs ardchoille mentioned
[08:03] <ardchoille> RvGaTe: Sounds like the mplayer plugin would have worked if you had the right codecs. Sorry I didn't think about the codecs before.
[08:03] <XenonG> I'm going to install the server version of Ubuntu, and I got the live CD, how do I do the server installation?
[08:03] <freddyubuntu> teag
[08:03] <freddyubuntu> yeah
 no im going back and forth not sure whats better
[08:03] <santa_> alex-weej, think so too but thats not that much work to log out an log in again
[08:04] <livingdaylight> flodine: so, you're using suse, what is the problem?
[08:04] <freddyubuntu> intel 828010BA
[08:04] <santa_> alex-weej, but to kill xgl is a good idea but only a temporary solution
[08:04] <RvGaTe> santa_, ardchoille, where can i get these codecs?
[08:04] <freddyubuntu> my motherboard is ASUS p4xp...
[08:04] <santa_> oh
[08:04] <livingdaylight> flodine: i was just reading a rave review about suse, one of the top distros for sure

[08:05] <ubotu> Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments. The default install includes a server kernel and no GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current stable version is 6.06 LTS. For more info see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerFaq/
[08:05] <freddyubuntu> sorry it is intel 828001BA
[08:05] <livingdaylight> flodine: here it is: http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/2945
[08:05] <ardchoille> santa_: Thank you for helping him.. you taught me something as well :)
[08:05] <cius> freddyubuntu, its probably an AC '97 codec which typically has excellent linux support.
[08:05] <freddyubuntu>  it is intel 828001BA-ICH 2
[08:06] <freddyubuntu> yeah it is AC 97
[08:06] <santa_> ardchoille: im happy i could help you and him
[08:06] <freddyubuntu> it used to work beautifully in Breezy
[08:06] <Ayabara> matid: ok. I have the notebook extension
[08:06] <skavenge> when a ./configure complains of not having 'X includes' what is it referring to? am i missing x devs or something?
[08:06] <gorski> how to build & compile?
[08:06] <santa_> ardchoille: I don't know this much about ubuntu but a little try to help where i can
[08:06] <freddyubuntu> so what to do?
[08:06] <livingdaylight> flodine: gonna run em both. I thought of doing that, but i'm a noob and just getting used to the debian way of doing things. If suse wasn't .rpm i would definitely be giving it a go too
[08:06] <cius> freddyubuntu, I'm gonna give you a link, you should check out the solution there, see if there's anything you can use.  http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449
[08:07] <freddyubuntu> k thanx
[08:07] <ardchoille> santa_: You are appreciated :)
[08:07] <livingdaylight> flodine: can you hande all that uvH rpm stuff. I don't understand a word of it
[08:07] <santa_> livingdaylight, you can change .rpm to .deb through alien
[08:07] <flodine> livingdaylight well suse and smart are so easy together
[08:07] <kandinski> !gamepad
[08:07] <ubotu> I know nothing about gamepad - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[08:07] <flodine> livingdaylight no rpm here
[08:07] <cius> freddyubuntu, if nothing there can help, come back and someone might suggest something else.
[08:07] <livingdaylight> santa_: yea, common, but an rpm based distro is not the same as a debian based distro
[08:08] <flodine> livingdaylight just smart
[08:08] <skavenge> !compile
[08:08] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for a pre-built package first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[08:08] <santa_> livingdaylight, thats right what are you searching for
[08:08] <DosBubba> Is there a way to configure a gateway specific to an interface? I have two NICs going to two different cable modems, eth0 and eth1. eth0's default gateway is <IP_ADDRESS> and eth1's is <IP_ADDRESS>. When I try to use eth1, the packets are trying to route through <IP_ADDRESS> (eth0's default gateway).
[08:08] <livingdaylight> flodine: well done. Yea, i hear that suse 10.0 had lots of problems with YaST so people had to use smart
[08:09] <livingdaylight> santa_: i'm not searching other than for someone to show me how to install xgl
[08:09] <genceleci> anoyone who has a link for an howto of WPA on ubuntu 6
[08:09] <flodine> livingdaylight its as easy as 123
[08:09] <livingdaylight> flodine: what, installing xgl?
[08:09] <santa_> so damn i lost my bookmarks through my reinstall
[08:09] <cypher1> does libx11-dev package contains the X include files
[08:10] <flodine> livingdaylight cant wait for nld
[08:10] <livingdaylight> santa_: yea, bookmarks get precious
[08:10] <livingdaylight> flodine: for what?
[08:10] <flodine> livingdaylight sled
[08:10] <santa_> so that shouldn't be the problem the install when i have a guide
[08:10] <ardchoille> santa_: Once per week, I email my firefox bookmarks file to my gmail account :)
[08:10] <santa_> ardchoille, so maybe i should do this too
[08:11] <santa_> livingdaylight, so you want to install xgl/compiz now ?
[08:11] <ardchoille> santa_: It's one way of not losing them.. I have lost them before and it made me anry a myself.
[08:11] <livingdaylight> flodine: so tell me is ubuntu and suse both great? is it like slurping chocolate icecrearm and then slurping on say vanilla and not being able to make your mind up which youprefer?
[08:11] <livingdaylight> santa_: yea, sure!
[08:11] <Bloodbeard> DosBubba: Did you try and use "network-admin" on them
[08:11] <flodine> livingdaylight http://www.novell.com/products/desktop/preview.html
[08:11] <kbrosnan> santa_, http://kb.mozillazine.org/Lost_bookmarks
[08:12] <santa_> ardchoille, yeah thats not good losing all the booksmarks
[08:12] <flodine> livingdaylight true
[08:12] <santa_> so livingdaylight lets talk on in #xgl i think that would be more suitably
[08:12] <DosBubba> Bloodbeard, I don't have X installed on the box, but let me check out what it does.
[08:12] <livingdaylight> flodine: arrghh...what a dilemma huh?!
[08:13] <livingdaylight> santa_: ok
[08:13] <flodine> livingdaylight well right now suse got me but still love dapper the dookie brown
[08:13] <Bloodbeard> DosBubba: If you don't have X, then nm
[08:15] <flodine> livingdaylight  i even had fedora rocking
[08:16] <flodine> livingdaylight  i got i problem with them
[08:17] <RvGaTe> santa_, ardchoille, currently downloading: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/ ALL package, according to: http://www.redhat.com/archives/rhl-list/2005-September/msg02949.html, it should have wmv video enabled...
[08:17] <paniq> hey
[08:17] <flodine> livingdaylight  you on gnome
[08:17] <paniq> how can i install a package "gentoo style", that is, from source?
[08:17] <jonah1980> hi can anyone tell me a way round this error please? http://www.eugeneciurana.com/pastebin/pastebin.php?show=10106
[08:18] <paniq> i have a broken package that doesnt work on edgy and i need to build it from scratch
[08:18] <ardchoille> RvGaTe: Yeah, that sounds right. You need the plugin in firefox to get video and you need the codec in the video plugin to enable it to play the files.
[08:18] <Bloodbeard> painq: download the source code
[08:18] <paniq> Bloodbeard: how
[08:18] <paniq> Bloodbeard: i know its possible via apt-get
[08:18] <RvGaTe> ardchoille, takes only 38minutes to download :S
[08:18] <Bloodbeard> painq: hold on one second please.
[08:19] <ardchoille> RvGaTe: 38 minutes?! You on dial-up?
[08:19] <Dreamglider> Rest in Peace Tollak *31 juli 1989 +14 juli 2006
[08:19] <RvGaTe> ardchoille, no, site is damn slow...
[08:19] <RvGaTe> ardchoille, downloading at 5kb/s
[08:19] <jack8> hello, I am looking for a aiglx/compiz liveCD
[08:19] <ardchoille> RvGaTe: If you happen to find patience-0.6.so 0, let me know, lol
[08:19] <Bloodbeard> painq: sudo apt-get install source "package"
[08:19] <Bloodbeard> oops
[08:20] <RvGaTe> ardchoille, thankfully im not in a hurry :P
[08:20] <Bloodbeard> painq: sudo apt-get source "package"
[08:20] <narfmaster> paniq, sudo apt-get -b source package
[08:20] <paniq> whtas the -b for?
[08:20] <Bloodbeard> that'll work too
[08:20] <narfmaster> -b = build
[08:20] <paniq> ah.
[08:20] <paniq> great.
[08:20] <Burrito> ok I can't get this cron to work
[08:21] <Bloodbeard> sorry painq, didn't mean to mislead you
[08:21] <paniq> np
[08:21] <dyggMerald> i've got a Q
[08:21] <Burrito> I did crontab -e
[08:21] <Burrito> and entered a line like this:
[08:21] <ardchoille> Burrito: It isn't Friday yet :)
[08:21] <Burrito> 18 11 * * 00 cd /backups/backup
[08:21] <Bloodbeard> dyggMerald: go ahead
[08:21] <Burrito> yeah I know...I'm testing it for today
[08:21] <Burrito> oops
[08:21] <Burrito> not that
[08:21] <Burrito> it doesn't have the cd in it any more
[08:22] <Grok_> went looking for the firefox plugin directory to install flash...copied the files to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and reloaded firefox but still no joy. i did see a .mozilla dir in my home dir but didn't see a plugins dir there. instructions just say "copy the files to _your_ plugins directory" should i create one in .mozilla/firefox?
[08:22] <godtvisken> How come I cannot run two sound programs at once? As in, if I just watched a youtube video I cannot play banshee until I close firefox and reopen banshee!
[08:22] <ardchoille> Burrito: You have a backups dir in / ?
[08:22] <godtvisken> Grok_: maybe you shoud check out automatix (getautomatix.com i think)
[08:22] <Burrito> yup
[08:22] <Bloodbeard> Grok_: Yes, try creating a .mozilla directory
[08:22] <Burrito> then in my backup file I ave something like this:
[08:22] <Manderson> I lost preferences --> multimedia...anyone know what this package is called?
[08:22] <ardchoille> Burrito: What is /backups/backup?
[08:22] <Bloodbeard> Grok_: nm
[08:22] <Burrito> it's a file
[08:22] <dyggMerald> Multi CD installers and unmounting a disc when the exe file is seemingly in use
[08:23] <Burrito> that has contents like this:
[08:23] <ardchoille> Burrito: Is it a script?
[08:23] <kandinski> can anyone help me debug a segfaulting jstest (usb joypad) on dapper?
[08:23] <Burrito> wget<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[08:23] <Burrito> wait!
[08:24] <kandinski> it segfaults with two different joysticks that work fine under windows, so it is clearly a software problem.
[08:24] <Burrito> guess what?
[08:24] <ardchoille> Burrito: did you chmod u+x that script?
[08:24] <Burrito> I just go it working
[08:24] <Burrito> yeah I did
[08:24] <Burrito> sweet!
[08:24] <ardchoille> Burrito: it's working now?
[08:24] <Burrito> thanks a ton for the help
[08:24] <Burrito> yup
[08:24] <ardchoille> Burrito: Cool :)
[08:24] <Manderson> I lost system --> preferences --> multimedia...anyone know what this package is called?
[08:24] <Burrito> I had to add a cd /backups; in my backup file first
[08:24] <dyggMerald> I put in disc 1, the install disc and i when the installer requires me to swap disc i cannot remove the current because the system says that the disc is still in use .. which is true in a way but it works in windows
[08:24] <kinema> what is the apt command that lists all installed packages that are not depended on by any other installed packages
[08:24] <paniq> kandinski: segfaults are always a software problem
[08:24] <kandinski> paniq: thanks
[08:25] <kandinski> so what should I do now?
[08:25] <paniq> kandinski: gdb jstest
[08:25] <soundray> kinema: it isn't an apt-get command. You need to install and run deborphan
[08:25] <Ayabara> I want to disable tapping on the touchpad of my inspiron 6000. anyone know how to do this?
[08:25] <paniq> kandinski: on the prompt, enter run
[08:25] <kinema> soundray: that's it.  thanks
[08:25] <Burrito> ok
[08:26] <Burrito> so now how do I stop the job from running now that it's going :S
[08:26] <ardchoille> Burrito: Glad to help :) I couldn't live without crontabs :)
[08:26] <Burrito> I just wanted to test this but it's gonna take forever to grab this whole file and I don't wanna kill my network
[08:26] <ardchoille> Burrito: you can killall wget
[08:26] <paniq> kandinski: hm that joystick package is rather old
[08:27] <Burrito> excellent thank you again
[08:27] <soundray> Ayabara: the package xserver-xorg-input-synaptics has what you need, if your touchpad is a Synaptics device
[08:27] <ardchoille> :)
[08:27] <sri_> what is the cmd to open a new tab in the terminal??
[08:27] <paniq> kandinski: you should definitely report the bug to https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+filebug
[08:27] <paniq> kandinski: you can also test your joystick by typing "cat <device>"
[08:27] <Ribs> sri_: Ctrl + Shift + T
[08:27] <paniq> kandinski: and then press a few joystick buttons
[08:27] <Ribs> well, that's the keyboard shortcut, anyway
[08:27] <paniq> kandinski: and see if it outputs garbage
[08:27] <Ayabara> soundray: seems it is an alps touchpad
[08:27] <paniq> kandinski: if it does, your joystick works.
[08:27] <sri_> Ribs, there is no cmd??
[08:27] <Bloodbeard> sri_: Usually Ctrl + Shift + T, but it depends what console your using
[08:28] <soundray> Ayabara: in that case, you'll have to make do with tpconfig:
[08:28] <soundray> !info tpconfig
[08:28] <ubotu> tpconfig: configure touchpad devices. In repository universe, is optional. Version 3.1.3-7 (dapper), package size 57 kB, installed size 192 kB
[08:28] <kandinski> paniq: thanks
[08:28] <Ribs> sri_: why would there be? It's not exactly usefull to script with
[08:28] <sri_> Bloodbeard, i am using ubuntu gnome
[08:28] <ssmith> I have a question installing repositories, how do I nstall the gpg file for a given repository?

[08:28] <ardchoille> Ribs: That's a good point
[08:29] <paniq> dadgumit: rofl
[08:29] <Ribs> All my points are good.
[08:29] <gnomefreak> ssmith: gpg file?
[08:29] <dadgumit> ssmp [08:29] <gnomefreak> ssmith: do you have a gpg key?
[08:29] <sri_> Bloodbeard, there is no cmd forit?

[08:29] <kandinski> paniq: stuff happens when I press the buttons
[08:29] <ardchoille> Ribs: :)
[08:29] <ssmith> Yes
[08:29] <paniq> kandinski: good.
[08:29] <gnomefreak> ssmith: have you used it?
[08:29] <Bloodbeard> sri_: you could use "gnome-terminal --tab-with-profile=PROFILEID"
[08:29] <paniq> kandinski: that means they work.
[08:29] <ssmith> actually it is the debian volatile site for Clam AV
[08:29] <dadgumit> heellp?
[08:29] <knapper> Is there a command to reload/refresh the kmenu?
[08:29] <kandinski> thanks

[08:30] <Ayabara> soundray: ok. thanks,
[08:30] <dadgumit> googling has ttuunnreed  upp  notthing
[08:30] <paniq> kandinski: with any game that supports joystick, at least.
[08:30] <olrrai> can give me this info any older user plz: du -s /lib ; du -s /lib32
[08:30] <ssmith> I have not used it as I do not know where to save and install the gpg
[08:30] <gnomefreak> ssmith: using your gpg key as simple as (gpg --list keys) iirc is the command will generate .gnupg in your home dir
[08:31] <gnomefreak> ssmith: see seahorse
[08:31] <Manderson> Can anyone help? "system --> preferences --> multimedia" is missing...I am trying to find out what this package is called so I can re-install it.
[08:31] <ssmith> No, I have not used the gpg file
[08:31] <paniq> dadgumit: system -> preferences -> keyboard
[08:31] <gnomefreak> ssmith: install seahorse it will keep track of your keys and otehr peoples key you have gotten over time
[08:32] <olrrai> can give me this info any older user plz:     du -s /lib ; du -s /lib32
[08:32] <paniq> dadgumit: set up your keyboard repeat rate
[08:32] <jiSh> how come firefox reports i dont have java runtime environment installed, when i do in fact ahve the sun-jre1.5 package installed and have configured to use by default
[08:32] <dyggMerald> When a installer needs more than one CD, swapping will be required, but the .exe is still running and the disc considered to be in use, so the disc cannot be unmounted. Isnt there anyone who knows a workaround for this problem ?
[08:32] <sri_> means what?
[08:32] <ssmith> seahorse?
[08:32] <gnomefreak> jiSh: did you install sun-java5-plugin?
[08:32] <ardchoille> !info seahorse
[08:32] <ubotu> seahorse: A Gnome front end for GnuPG. In repository universe, is optional. Version 0.8.1-0ubuntu4 (dapper), package size 797 kB, installed size 2820 kB
[08:32] <soundray> olrrai: it would be much better if you described your problem. What does the age of the user matter anyway?
[08:33] <gnomefreak> ty sri_

[08:36] <FunnyLookinHat> olrrai, I've used linux for about 5 years.  Though I'm not sure what you are asking about really   : )
[08:36] <sri_> ardchoille, ok thank u

[08:40] <Manderson> Can anyone help? "system --> preferences --> multimedia" is missing...I am trying to find out what this package is called so I can re-install it.
[08:40] <sri_> Hi! i installed ubuntu dapper drake 32 bit on amd 64 bit?Is there any lose ?
[08:40] <olrrai> FunnyLookinHat :  u ever has the same instalation?
[08:40] <RvGaTe> ardchoille, hm... download timed out.. :S
[08:40] <ardchoille> Manderson: If no one here replies, you might try asking in ##gnome .. hopefully someone there will know.
[08:41] <FunnyLookinHat> olrrai, I'm not sure I know what you are asking.  If english isn't your primary language you could try one of the ubuntu channels that are for your native language if that helps?
[08:41] <ardchoille> RvGaTe: :(
[08:41] <sri_> Hi! i installed ubuntu dapper drake 32 bit on amd 64 bit?Is there any lose ?decrement in process?
[08:41] <Manderson> thanks ardchoille
[08:41] <ardchoille> Manderson: You're welcome :)
[08:41] <Grok_> problem solved (flash plugin install for firefox): as root copy the .so and the .xpt files to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins (not /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins or .mozilla/firefox area) and restart firefox
[08:42] <sri_> Hi! i installed ubuntu dapper drake 32 bit on amd 64 bit?Is there any lose ?decrement in process?
[08:42] <narfmaster> sri_, are you being facetious?
[08:42] <gnomefreak> sri_: you may lose alot of non-free apps for most part
[08:42] <FunnyLookinHat> narfmaster, no, he's not.
[08:42] <olrrai> FunnyLookinHat: you use linux for about 5 years, but the same version?
[08:43] <FunnyLookinHat> sri_, I used 32 on my AMD64 chip, just better support for non free applications and drivers
[08:43] <sri_> gnomefreak, what are they ..?
[08:43] <FunnyLookinHat> olrrai, nope.  I started with slackware way back when.
[08:43] <RvGaTe> ardchoille, santa_, allright, i got the package from mplayers website... so, how do i enable/install these codecs?
[08:43] <gnomefreak> sri_: most non-free apps are built for 32bit (widely used)
[08:43] <olrrai> how maye years was your las instalation?
[08:43] <olrrai> how many years was your last instalation?
[08:43] <santa_> RvGaTe, what is the package
[08:44] <santa_> RvGaTe, .deb ?
[08:44] <RvGaTe> santa_, no, just some files
[08:44] <santa_> is there a makefile with it ?
[08:44] <FunnyLookinHat> olrrai, how long ago did I last install?  um, I installed ubuntu 6.06 about 2 months ago...
[08:44] <sri_> FunnyLookinHat, u mean it is an advantage??
[08:44] <hangfire> just curious, anyone know why konversation puts an underscore behind your username by default?
[08:45] <olrrai> ohhh, u have 300Mb on /lib only
[08:45] <santa_> RvGaTe, is there something like Makefile or something
[08:45] <RvGaTe> santa_, no, just dll, so, o, acm, ax... kind of stuff
[08:45] <gnomefreak> RvGaTe: you cant use dll's in ubuntu
[08:45] <hangfire> RvGAte- deb is a makefile of sorts
[08:45] <santa_> RvGaTe, would be better to install w32codecs through Synaptics or with apt-get
[08:45] <FunnyLookinHat> sri_, I would say it is better to stick to the 32bit version for now, you don't get any really bonus for using the 64bit version right now.
[08:45] <santa_> RvGaTe, you downloaded a package for windows
[08:46] <gnomefreak> santa_: you cant install w32codecs in from apt atm
[08:46] <gnomefreak> !w32codecs
[08:46] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  -  See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html  -  But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[08:46] <sri_> FunnyLookinHat, ok;thank u
[08:46] <RvGaTe> gnomefreak, i know, but it contains linux based files to...
[08:47] <RvGaTe> hangfire, i know what a .deb is, but thx anyway :)
[08:47] <santa_> gnomefreak, why can't install the w32codecs through apt
[08:47] <gnomefreak> santa_: it isnt in apt
[08:47] <RvGaTe> santa_, i would do if it was listed in the list :S
[08:47] <_Spire_> is there a way to prevent mounted disks from appearing on the desktop?
[08:47] <Gassed> VMWare is emulating Windows 98 rather slowly _ and there is no sound! Why?
[08:47] <gnomefreak> santa_: it in plf repo but its down atm
[08:47] <RvGaTe> santa_, its a mixed package... the readme says its for linux...
[08:47] <livemode> got a problem with xserver, my box runns for a bit then after awhile xserver just freezes, can anyone help me please?
[08:47] <gnomefreak> like 3 days or so
[08:48] <_Spire_> livemode: check the Xserver logs
[08:48] <gnomefreak> RvGaTe: you are not getting dll on linux unless its inside another file
[08:48] <santa_> RvGaTe, so there must be a makefile or a rpm  or a deb
[08:48] <livemode> spire where are they saved to usually
[08:48] <santa_> RvGaTe, can't imagine of more
[08:48] <livemode> _spire where are they saved to usually
[08:48] <RvGaTe> santa_, there is only a readme really...
[08:48] <_Spire_> livemode: /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[08:48] <livemode> ty
[08:49] <gnomefreak> RvGaTe: what file extention?
[08:49] <knanand> Hi all

[08:49] <knanand> Is there any Text-to-Speech Apps in ubuntu??
[08:49] <Gassed> Why is VMWare emulating so poorly? I have like 8-bit color and a very small resolution, no sound and it lags really bad when trying to do anything, you should see maximising a window
[08:49] <_Spire_> Gassed: do you have vmware tools installed on the guest
[08:50] <gnomefreak> knanand: i think so but i would look through synaptic if noone knows
[08:50] <Gassed> no
[08:50] <_Spire_> Gassed: if it's windows, try installing the tools :)
[08:50] <Gassed> How do I get them
[08:50] <santa_> RvGaTe, could you pastebin I am really interested in it
[08:50] <_Spire_> Gassed: is this workstation, player, or server?

[08:54] <_Spire_> is there a way to prevent mounted disks from appearing on the desktop?
[08:54] <gnomefreak> RvGaTe: not one of those are gonna help you with anything
[08:54] <sri_> _Spire_, go to ubuntu forums then u go to multimedia then u download w32 codecs
[08:55] <_Spire_> sri_: ?
[08:55] <_Spire_> sri_: think you got the wrong person
[08:55] <sri_> _Spire_, then the extention will be like .deb then click on it
[08:55] <arkygeek> hi everyone.  since switching to ubuntu it seems my laptop is running hotter and that the fan is running a lot more.  has anyone else experienced this?
[08:56] <cypher1> arkygeek, yes sometimes i also feel the same
[08:56] <sri_> _Spire_, sorry
[08:56] <livemode> _Spire_ i am sorry but xserver has crashed in the middle of it
[08:56] <livemode> i am going to try it remotely
[08:56] <cypher1> arkygeek, which laptop ?
[08:56] <arkygeek> cypher1: nec i-select
[08:56] <cypher1> arkygeek, which version of ubuntu ?
[08:56] <someothernick_> is there a keyboard shortcut to LOGOUT?
[08:56] <arkygeek> cypher1: dapper
[08:56] <mohkohn> hello. just installed ubuntu dapper.  impressed to see it detected my wireless card without having to ndiswrapper -i
[08:56] <mikearthur> what would be the best way of stripping a file extension from a string, in Bash?
[08:57] <sri_> santa_, go to ubuntu forums &go to multimedia search for w32 codecs
[08:57] <arkygeek> mohkohn: is it an atheros card?
[08:57] <sri_> santa_, search for .deb format
[08:57] <santa_> gnomefreak, yeah but when it is possible to wget it from another repo why can't i write the another repo into my sources.list
[08:57] <jonass> how can i create a new profile in firefox?
[08:57] <cypher1> arkygeek, recently moved to dapper .. have not seen it after it
[08:57] <mohkohn> arkygeek: nope. Broadcom
[08:57] <santa_> sri_: i don't need the w32codecs
[08:57] <KenSentMe> I'm filing a bug report for opening .ai files in inkscape and now i have to add a small .ai file to the report. Can anyone send me a small .ai file, i don't have Adobe Illustrator myself
[08:57] <kbrosnan> jonass The Profile Manager is a way to easily create, rename, delete, or switch profiles. Follow the instructions here to see it: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager
[08:57] <gnomefreak> santa_: because its unsafe having debian repos on your system
[08:57] <sri_> santa_, u wanna play live...
[08:58] <livemode> _Spire_ http://ninethsense.com/pastebin/index.php?p=98
[08:58] <sri_> santa_, through totem..?
[08:58] <gnomefreak> KenSentMe: wouldnt it be safer to ask in #windows? or #adobe?
[08:58] <santa_> sri_, no i have no problems only want to know it for future questions from ater guys
[08:58] <mohkohn> the eth1 says it is active but I cannot connect to the airport express wireless network at my girlfriends place
[08:58] <KenSentMe> gnomefreak: good idea
[08:58] <sri_> santa_, ok
[08:59] <_Miroslav_Ilic_> I have one question. If I select Croatian when I am installing Ubuntu, does that mean that Ubuntu will be in Croatian when it is installed?
[08:59] <cypher1> mohkohn, paste "netstat -in" output
[08:59] <gnomefreak> yes *should* be mikearthur
[08:59] <gnomefreak> ack
[08:59] <santa_> sri_: but nevertheless i have a question maybe you know a answer
[08:59] <livemode> _Spire_ http://ninethsense.com/pastebin/index.php?p=98
[08:59] <gnomefreak> _Miroslav_Ilic_: should be
[08:59] <mikearthur> gnomefreak: I'm confused :s
[08:59] <santa_> sri_, want to set up a ftp server
[08:59] <gnomefreak> mikearthur: kwrong person
[09:00] <_Miroslav_Ilic_> Nice :)
[09:00] <mikearthur> kk
[09:00] <gnomefreak> mikearthur: i meant _Miroslav_Ilic_
[09:00] <mikearthur> np
[09:00] <santa_> sri_, what tools is the best for me
[09:00] <mohkohn> I can't even ping the network. cypher just did only eth0 and lo show up
[09:00] <sri_> santa_, u know free bsd?
[09:00] <mohkohn> sit0 and eth1 show up with iwconfig
[09:00] <sri_> santa_, for server administration it is the best one
[09:01] <sri_> santa_, os
[09:01] <cypher1> mohkohn, what is sit0
[09:01] <santa_> sri_, know free bsd
[09:01] <gteppel> I have Ubuntu installed (just console, no Xorg) and that box is connected to a KVM switch. The resolution is really crappy, the top and bottom of the screen is stretched off the boundaries of the monitor which makes it near impossible to use. I tried setting defoptions vga=791 in /boot/grub/menu.list and issued a update-grub, but I'm still getting the same problem!
[09:01] <mohkohn> I am typing this in osx but the ubuntu laptop is next to me here.
[09:01] <livemode> got a problem with xserver, my box runns for a bit then after awhile xserver just freezes, can anyone help me please?
[09:01] <livemode> got a problem with xserver, my box runns for a bit then after awhile xserver just freezes, can anyone help me please?
[09:01] <gteppel> how can I fix this?
[09:01] <cypher1> mohkohn, paste "iwconfig" output
[09:01] <santa_> sri_, but don't want to change I only want to make up a ftp for some files no professional server
[09:01] <_Miroslav_Ilic_> What brand of modem is best to use with ubuntu?
[09:01] <Gassed> Hi i've installed the VMWare tools and it's great, but Win98 still doesn't have the audio working
[09:02] <ardchoille> _Miroslav_Ilic_: in my experience, I have to say stay away from winmodems
[09:02] <santa_> sri_, and i am really happy with ubuntu so I don't want to change the distro
[09:02] <livemode> got a problem with xserver, my box runns for a bit then after awhile xserver just freezes, can anyone help me please?
[09:02] <mjr> Gassed, that's not really an Ubuntu question, so don't be surprised if you don't get an answer
[09:02] <santa_> sri_, only need a tool to set up a normal ftp
[09:02] <cypher1> santa_, there are many ftp servers available for download.. vsftpd should be good i guess
[09:02] <sri_> santa_, i dont know anout server adminstraion
[09:02] <Gassed> Im on about VMWare Server
[09:02] <Gassed> (Linux)
[09:02] <mohkohn> not sure. think sit0 is the dhcp server but do not quote me on that.
[09:02] <sri_> santa_, i am also learning it
[09:02] <mjr> Gassed, nevertheless
[09:03] <cypher1> mohkohn, paste "iwconfig" output
[09:03] <santa_> sri_: no problem thanks for your help anyway
[09:03] <livemode> got a problem with xserver, my box runns for a bit then after awhile xserver just freezes, can anyone help me please?
[09:03] <santa_> sri_: learning it too
[09:03] <santa_> sri_: :)
[09:03] <livemode> i have pastbined my Xorg log
[09:03] <livemode> got a problem with xserver, my box runns for a bit then after awhile xserver just freezes, can anyone help me please?
[09:03] <livemode> _Spire_ http://ninethsense.com/pastebin/index.php?p=98
[09:03] <sri_> santa_, i heared that freebsd is good for server administration
[09:03] <mohkohn> cypher1: can't paste the laptop is not connected
[09:03] <offroadgeek> how do I get dapper to recognize/add new network devices after a fresh install?
[09:03] <sri_> santa_, do u know about it?
[09:03] <santa_> cypher1, so what is your favourite ftp server tool
[09:04] <santa_> sri_: only a little bit not very much
[09:04] <cypher1> mohkohn, i am not sure what sit0 is for.. but can you disable or down it
[09:04] <mohkohn> it does say ESSID: off/any and Access Point: Invalid
[09:04] <mohkohn> sit0  no wireless extensions
[09:04] <sri_> santa_, what is the diff b/w ubuntu & free bsd?
[09:05] <cypher1> santa_, if you are looking for a professional server then tools matter.. for setting up a small ftp server it should be very easy
[09:05] <knanand> Help for Festival Please...
[09:05] <tamale> Quick qustion - what's the quickest, easiest, most idiot-proof way to get my MX500's two side buttons to behave as alt+left / right arrow in firefox and the file browser?
[09:05] <santa_> sri_: this are two different distros with different package system etc.
[09:05] <LjL> sri_: ubuntu is a Linux distribution (i.e. uses the Linux kernel), and the core operating system tools are the GNU ones. FreeBSD uses the FreeBSD kernel and its own tools
[09:05] <tamale> last time i tried to do this it involved editing xorg.conf by hand and i fucked up my whole system  :[
[09:05] <billybennett> Ubuntu + WPA = No Go?
[09:05] <_Miroslav_Ilic_> Is it better to install Ubuntu on machine with 32bit or 64bit processor? I want to buy a new PC for Ubuntu, but I do not know what is better.
[09:06] <PacketScan> nogo
[09:06] <santa_> LjL so FreeBSD has its own kernel?
[09:06] <someothernick_> is there a keyboard shortcut to LOGOUT?
[09:06] <Flannel> tamale: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto
[09:06] <santa_> cypher1: only want to set up a little server to upload some files nothing professional so what are you recommanding
[09:06] <mohkohn> tried dhclient eth1 : SIOCSIFFLAAGS: No such file or directory
[09:06] <cypher1> mohkohn, are you using wep ?
[09:06] <LjL> santa_: sure, like the other BSD's. it's almost a direct derivation of the "original" Unix, whatever that is, while Linux was written from scratch
[09:06] <carthik> someothernick_ you'll have to set one yourself
[09:07] <someothernick_> can't
[09:07] <Kirk_> Hello
[09:07] <mohkohn> cypher1: no wep
[09:07] <Gassed> is anyone here good with VMWare Server?
[09:07] <carthik> someothernick_ why cant you?
[09:07] <Kirk_> !anyone
[09:07] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[09:07] <santa_> LjL, so don't know before thanks
[09:07] <carthik> someothernick, it would be helpful if you were more verbose with describing your problems.
[09:07] <someothernick_> carthik: ubuntu's all messed up
[09:07] <sepehre> hi, is there mac-like dock for gnome or kde?
[09:07] <someothernick_> carthik: no menu's
[09:07] <carthik> someothernick_ I didn't shave today
[09:08] <LjL> santa_: note that FreeBSD does ship with a "compatibility layer" (API emulator, whatever you want to call it) to run Linux binary applications, in any case, and i hear it works with many
[09:08] <Flannel> someothernick_: you can use the command line, ctrl-alt-f1, then "sudo shutdown -h now"
[09:08] <KenSentMe> I get a connection error when connecting to jabber.org. Am i the only one or is the jabber.org server down?
[09:08] <someothernick_> Flannel: ty
[09:08] <santa_> LjL, so what is running on normal linux should also work with the api emulator
[09:08] <mohkohn> iI have the mac in front of me. It says Name: Base Station 728db IP <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:08] <ardchoille> sepehre: iirc, kde has one and gdesklets (for gnome) has starterbar that mimics the mac bar
[09:08] <tamale> thanks Flannel, but that link talks about editing xorg.cong.
[09:08] <sepehre> KenSentMe, I can't ping jabber.org either
[09:08] <tamale> conf
[09:08] <tamale> i dont' want to edit any files by hand.
[09:08] <cypher1> santa_, install any ftp server.. maybe vsftpd.. edit /etc/vsftpd.conf to allow anonymous users.. move the files to anonymous users root directory.. done :)
[09:08] <sepehre> KenSentMe, nvm I can =D it's up
[09:09] <santa_> cypher1: ok thanks
[09:09] <santa_> cpyher1: will immediatly try it
[09:09] <LjL> santa_: sorta... it's a bit like how you can run Windows apps under Wine. except that the Linux layer of BSD is quite a bit more reliable, i think
[09:09] <sepehre> ardchoille, thanks, I'll give those a try quick
[09:09] <KenSentMe> sepehre: well, i can visit www.jabber.org, but i can't login to my jabber account using gaim
[09:09] <mohkohn> Ethernet (WAN) 00:14:51:72:8d:4a
[09:09] <computer13137> I would like to setup subdomains off a DNS "s1.alphahertz.com" on my server.  If someone has spare time and can help me to do so, I have temporarily reset the root password, and will give ANYONE willing root access temporarily to try to do this for me.  I need to know what the problem is, and why I can't use VHCS to create subdomains.  If anyone is willing PM me.  Thanks!
[09:09] <Flannel> tamale: Yep, you'll have to.  Just make a backup of it first, you can revert if you have problems
[09:09] <tamale> can't i just get some kind of an extension for the mouse control thingie so i can add button functionality there?
[09:09] <santa_> LjL, good to know
[09:10] <tamale> *sigh*
[09:10] <tamale> ok
[09:10] <AlveKatt> Hello. I am buying a laptop, and I want to make sure that I get as much compability with Ubuntu as possible.
[09:10] <mohkohn> AirPort ID 00:14:51:72:8d:4b
[09:10] <ardchoille> sepehre: You're welcome :)
[09:10] <AlveKatt> What should I avoid, think about?
[09:10] <cypher1> mohkohn, what does the iwconfig output says ? has it recognized the AP
[09:11] <Flannel> AlveKatt: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[09:11] <AlveKatt> I have found an interesting model, but it wasn't in the hardware issues list.
[09:11] <godtvisken> How come when one sound program is open, it blocks another from using sound until I close the other?
[09:11] <computer13137> Please answer my question at your earliest convenience.  A free hosting provider is waiting for my response to the issue.
[09:11] <mohkohn> cypher1: AP: Invalid
[09:12] <cypher1> computer13137, maybe you can check the same in #dns also :)
[09:12] <computer13137> On freenode?
[09:12] <jb_> anyone else been having troubles with ndiswrapper on edgy?
[09:12] <cypher1> mohkohn, that means it has some problems in finding the AP
[09:12] <computer13137> Thanks cypher
[09:13] <mohkohn> cypher1: what steps to troubleshoot?
[09:13] <jb_> no, couldn't even load ndiswrapper properly. Fixed (for me) by pulliing and installing current (1.21) source.
[09:14] <godtvisken> How do I modprobe ALSA? I don't know it's module name
[09:14] <unity> hello, i have just run smartmontool's short test on a disk, and got this: # 1  Short offline       Completed: read failure       60% and i have the LBA_of_first_error, can this problem be corrected by reallocating sectors, or is this disk gone for good?
[09:15] <cypher1> mohkohn, where you able to connect to other wireless AP's shortly?
[09:15] <santa_> cypher1: so do you know an ftp server with a gui
[09:15] <mohkohn> is anyone here familiar with osx  and ubuntu?
[09:15] <unity> !anyone
[09:15] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[09:16] <tamale> i'm sorry, but i must point out that that "!anyone" message is extremely rude.
[09:16] <tamale> it's polite to ask if anyone knows something
[09:16] <tamale> and well understood what it means.
[09:17] <AlveKatt> Does Ubuntu support widescreen displays out of the box? And is it easy to hook up an extra screen with an extended desktop?
[09:17] <tamale> especially since so many people coming here are new.
[09:17] <mohkohn> I can't connect to anything. previously had hoary and breezy on here. Great wireless with breezy
[09:17] <HtheK> How can I set my GAIM to show offline contacts?
[09:17] <cypher1> santa_, just looked at archives.. there is pureftpd and pureadmin(gui for managing pureftpd)
[09:17] <ubunewb> hi, can anybody help me please with this. I'm trying to install X on the server installation of Ubuntu, I followed some intructions on the web but apt-get says it cannot find menu or icewm. What am I doing wrong? thanks!
[09:17] <suston3d> is it possible to install kdevelop/ogre in ubuntu 6.06 by searching the packages, or do i have to get it at each homepage ?
[09:17] <santa_> cypher1: ok will take a look for it
[09:17] <poje> HtheK: buddies->show offline buddies
[09:17] <HtheK> Okay.
[09:18] <HtheK> Thanks!
[09:18] <poje> ubunewb: did you try apt-get ubuntu-desktop?
[09:18] <poje> ubunewb: I think that contains all the X stuff + Gnome
[09:18] <ubunewb> does that install everything including the games and other stuff?
[09:18] <poje> HtheK: np :)
[09:18] <ardchoille> ubunewb: that installs the gnome desktop environment
[09:18] <HtheK> :D
[09:18] <ubunewb> I did it this way because I just want to have a clean X with only Firefox, Gaim, OpenOffice
[09:18] <poje> ubunewb: I'm not sure, you could check packages.ubuntu.com
[09:19] <poje> ubunewb: I think ardchoille is right though, just the desktop
[09:19] <ubunewb> hmm ok, thanks, I'll give it a try
[09:19] <jkp> hey guys
[09:19] <jkp> i need a hand
[09:20] <jkp> im backporting a package from efty
[09:20] <poje> ubunewb: Hah, take it back...looking at the dependencies, it installs pretty much everything
[09:20] <jkp> i need it on dapper, so anyway
[09:20] <ubunewb> hmm ok, don't think ubuntu-desktop is just the desktop, it says I'll need 1.2GB for this :P
[09:20] <jkp> i took the package and built it on my system
[09:20] <poje> ubunewb: the overhead would be really low if that's what you're afraid of
[09:20] <jkp> b ut the library names got screwed up
[09:20] <jkp> it didnt put the version numbers in correctly
[09:20] <ubunewb> I'm more concerned about not having all kinds of confusing things on the desktop
[09:20] <tamale> unity:  Do you have any power to remove / edit the ! commands ?  If so please consider removing the !anyone command.  I feel it's totally against the ubuntu spirit.
[09:20] <krzak> anybody know solution for terminating WiFi connections while using WPA encryption ??
[09:21] <ubunewb> next step I'm planning is to arrange things according to the way I find logical
[09:21] <jkp> i thought it just too those from the rules file?
[09:21] <mohkohn> come to think of it the wireless card used to come up as wlan0 in breezy. Now eth1. Is there a reason for that?
