[21:20] <panfist> hello. i'm using the default remote desktop sharing on my computer, but if I use this then vino-server uses up 30-40% cpu all the time. is there a way i can log in to ubuntu remotely, in a graphical environment, but use less resources? it doesn't necessarily have to be as nice as the default gnome theme
[21:20] <macabro22> Hello
[21:21] <XiXaQ> rellik, oh.. Have you tried to press enter? That's just a message. The login prompt is there.
[21:21] <Slart> XiXaQ: is that a supported install option? or 3rd part?
[21:21] <rellik> XiXaQ, yes I've tried
[21:21] <amenado> zardosht, I will assume to get a linux ubuntu from same dvd vendors on the street and have em labeled pr0n... :)
[21:21] <Moduliz0r> Hehehe...
[21:21] <gigamonkey> Slart: do you happen to know anywhere that describes how to do that?
[21:21] <macabro22> I NEED to compile the ALSA drivers in order to have my audio card work properly. Does anyone have a clue on why I am getting that warning message? http://www.pastebin.ca/891713
[21:22] <gigamonkey> hmmm, just found this which looks promising http://popey.com/Creating_an_Ubuntu_repository_mirror_with_apt-mirror
[21:22] <Slart> gigamonkey: the apt cache thingy? there's a package.. it's really easy
[21:22] <roly2> jetscreamer
[21:22] <XiXaQ> sladen, you'll need to setup network boot with a boot cd as an option. It doesn't really have anything to do with ubuntu. It depends on your NIC supporting it though.

[21:22] <ejer> gigamonkey: i use squid on my gateway to cache archives, another way to do it
[21:22] <roly2> type that into terminaL?
[21:22] <zardosht> amenado: but now I need to pptp, can anyone help me?
[21:22] <Slart> gigamonkey: but it won't make a difference on the first machine you install ubuntu on.. but the second one will be faster
[21:23] <Daviey> gigamonkey: if you want to mirror the whole repo, use apt-mirror, if you just want to cache what you have already grabbed (useful for multiple machines come updates), use apt-catcher

[21:23] <amenado> zardosht, i would love to assist, but my knowhow in pptp is nil..nada..zilch
[21:23] <jetscreamer> roly2: assuming you downloaded the proper file that supports your gpu (aka the latest) and add sudo to whatever, and have all the other unmentioned requirements to compile stuff, yes
[21:23] <Rian-Davide> hey Ive been struggling with my linksys wusb54g v4 adapter to get internet, Ive come on here many times to figure out why certain drivers wont work with the thing, its not broken cause it works great on the windows partition, Ive followed guides and tried alot and still can't get it to recognize the internet
[21:23] <amenado> zardosht, maybe you can try the folks at #networking
[21:23] <bullium> Has anyone had a problem with wodim?
[21:24] <Slart> gigamonkey: yes. that link looks promising.. but read through it first.. I'm not sure that's what you want
[21:24] <Rian-Davide> Im thinking Im going to have to wipe my ubuntu partition and start over
[21:24] <zardosht> amenado: thanks for clue
[21:24] <PriceChild> !away > Mono[food]

[21:25] <ejer> Rian-Davide: did you see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=588045
[21:25] <amenado> bullium, yes, i cant seem to burn dvd iso
[21:25] <Mono[food]> PriceChild: 1) i didn't get a response, 2) i dont even know why i'm in here :<
[21:25] <erisco> I removed a package, but now wish to PURGE it. How can I purge the package without having to install it again? Apt says the application is not installed, and so it will not be removed. But I must PURGE
[21:25] <roly2> i get, sh: Can't open NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.07-pkg0.run
[21:26] <RichardPRog> hi
[21:26] <ejer> erisco: reinstall it, or remove fiels manually
[21:26] <Rian-Davide> ejer this is exactly what Ive done, Ive followed his instructions, maybe I should read down the list and do something else?  because it doesnt work at all
[21:26] <amenado> Rian-Davide, how far do you get in getting this thing to work? does it recognize your wifi card at all?
[21:26] <bullium> amenado: Yeah, I'm having issues just burning a simple data CD.
[21:26] <erisco> ejer, that is crazy lol
[21:26] <noodlesgc> erisco open synaptic and find the package and select Mark for complete removal
[21:26] <Rian-Davide> amenado it recognizes my card and shows up as rausb0
[21:26] <Rian-Davide> amenado but it does not list any wireless networks in my network manager
[21:27] <amenado> bullium , i thought I'd confirm that with you, thats all
[21:27] <erisco> noodlesgc, whoo hoo thanks
[21:27] <noodlesgc> erisco np
[21:27] <jetscreamer> roly2: you have to read the whole thing and follow the directions
[21:27] <RichardPRog> Can anyone help me? I have messed up the MBR on an External NTFS HDD that is very important. I get the following error when mounting it in Gutsy: Record 5 has no FILE magic: Input/output error Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Input/output error NTFS is either inconsistent, or you have hardware faults, or you have a SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot into Windows TWICE. The usage of the /f
[21:27] <amenado> Rian-Davide, from a terminal, can you type  sudo iwconfig rausb0  scan  ? any results?
[21:27] <ejer> Rian-Davide: have u tried with ndiswrapper
[21:27] <jetscreamer> roly2: you have to download the file. you have to change things in the command if you need to. you need to add sudo.
[21:28] <Rian-Davide> ejer yes and I cannot connect to any wpa wireless networks, manually or otherwise with tis driver
[21:28] <ejer> RichardPRog: it wants you to run checkdisk with windows...
[21:28] <amenado> Rian-Davide, do not even use encryption yet, just plain text, disable the wpa on your AP for now to test connectivity
[21:28] <Rian-Davide> ejer it sucks I got the this device working before I believe with the original driver ubuntu assigned to it, but I dont know where to find it anymore
[21:29] <Rian-Davide> amenado its an internet cafe
[21:29] <RichardPRog> EJER yeah, i tried that, but it doesn't seem to work. This is a USB HDD if that makes any difference
[21:29] <ejer> Rian-Davide: you could boot off livecd andsee if in fact it works
[21:29] <roly2> jetscreamer can i private you please?
[21:29] <Rian-Davide> ejer ok I will give that a shot
[21:29] <amenado> Rian-Davide, then try it at your home, with plain text so you can test it easily
[21:29] <bullium> amenado: thanks for the info
[21:30] <amenado> Rian-Davide, as ejer suggested, you can try using liveCD
[21:30] <Rian-Davide> amenado what's plain text?
[21:30] <ejer> RichardPRog: have u tried this http://xperiencexp.blogspot.com/2005/11/how-to-chkdsk-external-usb-drive.html
[21:30] <Starnestommy> Rian-Davide: not encrypted
[21:30] <Rian-Davide> amenda ok will do
[21:30] <amenado> Rian-Davide, unencrypted == plain text
[21:30] <At0x0> I asked a question in #tor, but there aren't many people there. Does anyone have substantial experience with Tor who can answer a question about it for me?

[21:30] <jetscreamer> roly2: not atm, after i get off work maybe i can help you figure it out more
[21:31] <noodlesgc> RichardProg At0x0 what's tor?
[21:31] <roly2> ok
[21:31] <Rian-Davide> ejer so what do i do if i find that it works when i boot from the live cd?
[21:31] <enhanced> sigh
[21:31] <RichardPRog> ejer: othertimes it recognizes it but i cannot open it
[21:31] <ejer> RichardPRog: when you type that command it says 'disk not found' or similar?
[21:31] <roly2> 0x0422, is the little code thing jetscreamer from the list of gpus
[21:31] <roly2> but i dnt uderstand
[21:31] <Starnestommy> noodlesgc: it's an anonymity network
[21:31] <noodlesgc> o
[21:31] <Rian-Davide> ejer is the kde network manager less buggy than the gnome cause the gnome freezes too much
[21:31] <ejer> RichardPRog: yping it in cmd window forces it to run, not the same as uing gui tools
[21:31] <RichardPRog> no
[21:31] <jetscreamer> roly2: you said you had an 8400gt? just get the latest version, .09 . or you can just get the .07 if you really want.
[21:32] <ejer> Rian-Davide: most likely due to bad driver, gnome network-manager is pretty stable
[21:32] <RichardPRog> ejer: it says that the bootsector is empty and the backup is also
[21:32] <At0x0> I want to use tor along with a MUD client (a telnet client) that doesn't natively support proxy settings. I'll be connecting to a host in a non standard port (say, 7755) but it's still plain telnet. Can tor help me with this?
[21:32] <amenado> Rian-Davide, well if it works, you have proven that your wifi nic works, what would you like to do nexT?
[21:32] <enhanced> funny
[21:32] <jetscreamer> 8xxx==latest version
[21:32] <bcardarell1> I made changes to my xorg file but these changes are not reflected in my X session. Does Gnome somehow over ride these changes and if so how do I get it to import my xorg.conf file?
[21:32] <ejer> RichardPRog: what says that?
[21:32] <enhanced> I wonder if it's a gnome issue
[21:32] <RichardPRog> ejer: i did it from cmd
[21:32] <roly2> 8400GS
[21:32] <sourcemaker> are there openoffice specialists here?
[21:32] <Starnestommy> At0x0: you could do torify telnet hostname 7755
[21:32] <enhanced> my screen resolution is at 1680x1050
[21:32] <savvas> Rian-Davide: are you using the 7.10 gutsy gibbon cd? i think the kde one is better for wireless
[21:32] <enhanced> however
[21:32] <Rian-Davide> ejer Im tempted to try KDE to see if its any better cause this is just pissing me off
[21:32] <RichardPRog> sourcemaker: i can help you
[21:32] <enhanced> gnome states that it is 1400x
[21:33] <jetscreamer> roly2: any 8xxx, get the latest.. iirc it's the 169.09
[21:33] <ejer> Rian-Davide: go ahead, it all uses the same backend stuff, should not make any dif
[21:33] <palomer> the codecs are in the repository?
[21:33] <palomer> cool!
[21:33] <neverblue> bcardarell1, changes? such as ?
[21:33] <enhanced> *cough* ghey *cough*
[21:33] <At0x0> Starnestommy: Right, the thing is I want to connect to hostname using a special telnet client that doesn't support proxy settings.
[21:33] <Rian-Davide> savvas yea Im using gutsy gibbon this install is pretty fresh
[21:33] <noodlesgc> bcardarell1 what changes?
[21:33] <Starnestommy> At0x0: torify is a command that makes it tunnel through tor
[21:33] <Rian-Davide> savvas fully updated too
[21:33] <roly2> i really dont understand jetscreamer, what am i getting from where?
[21:33] <jetscreamer> Rian-Davide: all youhave to do is install kde, you can have both, or more
[21:33] <danand_> bcardarell1 - have you restarted X - you need to do this for changes to take effect
[21:33] <jetscreamer> roly2: did you read what it said?
[21:33] <nakerlund> enhanced: I had some issue with getting my nvidia drivers to work but it fixed itself somehow
[21:33] <generalj_> anyone know a link where to check what the new linux-headers are adding/fixing before I update?
[21:33] <jetscreamer> from nvidia.com
[21:33] <savvas> Rian-Davide: you're trying to connect wirelessly?
[21:33] <trelayne> hi all, anyone know what packages are best to use with the tor network (to act as a relay and client?)
[21:33] <Rian-Davide> jetscreamer how do you install KDE on this ubuntu install?
[21:34] <jetscreamer> roly2: just go to nvidia.com and d/l the latest linux version
[21:34] <noodlesgc> generalj_ just open update manager and you get a general list of changes
[21:34] <RichardPRog> ejer: any other ideas?
[21:34] <Rian-Davide> savvas yes Im trying to connect wirelessly to a wpa network
[21:34] <ejer> Rian-Davide: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[21:34] <adub> jetscreamer that didnt work but after an hour of googling i found the solution
[21:34] <bcardarell1> neverblue: I made the resolution smaller and created a virtual desktop
[21:34] <jetscreamer> Rian-Davide: aptitu... what he siad
[21:34] <sourcemaker> I need a command line macro for openoffice... like: open document => update All => convert to PDF?
[21:34] <nakerlund> enhanced: I fiddled around with screens and graphics a bit...
[21:34] <roly2> ok jet
[21:34] <adub> the kernel has to be recompiled
[21:34] <enhanced> nakerlund: yeah..?
[21:34] <neverblue> bcardarell1, so the res. changes arent showing ( the ones specifically set in your xorg.conf) ?
[21:34] <adub> which i am not going to do just to see my boot text
[21:35] <Belorix> Anyone with a WUSB54GSC linksys usb wireless adapter and your having trouble i created a howto specifically for this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4269087#post4269087
[21:35] <enhanced> nakerlund: my monitor says it's running correctly... but gnome is not reporting that it is...hheh
[21:35] <bcardarell1> neverblue: yes
[21:35] <savvas> Rian-Davide: the worst kind, wpa isn't still supported 100% i think, check out the documentation about wireless cards and their support
[21:35] <enhanced> fan friggin tastic
[21:35] <enhanced> lol
[21:35] <savvas> !wifi | Rian-Davide
[21:35] <ejer> RichardPRog: i don't understand what 'backup' means in your statement, windows should not say this, nor is it a partition type or anything else, it should also not care about bootsector unless you boot from this disk
[21:35] <ubotu> Rian-Davide: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[21:35] <bcardarell1> neverblue: and I have already restarted x, even restarted the system
[21:35] <neverblue> bcardarell1, not sure what the virtual desktop has to do with any of this really
[21:35] <generalj_> noodlesgc: I see I have some linux-headers updates available today but I dont know exactly what the updates are doing, the descriptions in them are jsut generic. Is there a site that shows a release or change log for these?
[21:35] <jetscreamer> roly2: then just change the .07 to .09 in the command, and add sudo in front of the apt-get and the sh NVIDIA
[21:35] <enhanced> and the screen seems stretched a bit
[21:35] <nakerlund> enhanced: Yeah... I had no luck at all with screen resolution in preferences
[21:35] <RichardPRog> ejer: sorry, i was confused on that point
[21:35] <zardosht> I have pptp issue in vpn to secureix
[21:35] <ejer> umm WPA works flawlessly assuming your drivers work
[21:35] <bcardarell1> neverblue: so that the user can have a 800x600 resolution but still have enough desktop real-estate to use apps such as evolution
[21:35] <E_Data> i frequently leave my computer on over night but 9 out of 10 times after it has sat by itself for a while I come back and my audio doesnt work, is there a service or something that I can stop and restart to get it to work without restarting? unplugging the speaker cord and plugging it back in does nothing...
[21:35] <rauchi> nabend
[21:36] <RichardPRog> ejer: the current error is that it "cannot open volume for direct access"
[21:36] <Rian-Davide> savvas Ive gotten internet to work before with the driver module supplied by ubuntu but I dont know what I did with it
[21:36] <jetscreamer> roly2: or just split the command line into it's two seperate command..  either side of the &&
[21:36] <jetscreamer> and add sudo
[21:36] <noodlesgc> generalj_ just open System->Administration->Update Manager and open the 'changes' pane
[21:36] <neverblue> bcardarell1, but is it affecting your display size in anyway? is this display size trying to be the virtual one your adjusting?
[21:36] <Rcd> who use nokia phone with ubuntu?
[21:37] <bcardarell1> neverblue: no change whatsoever

[21:39] <hydrelisk> hi, noob question: is it possible to display GUIs on my X server from a distant desktop (not with VNC, but on my own desktop)
[21:40] <pike_> hydrelisk: you mean like x forwarding?
[21:40] <noodlesgc> panfist try sudo apt-get -f
[21:40] <danand_> panfist - you could try sudo apt-get build-dep - see if that helps
[21:40] <zardosht> ejer: I assume maybe the issue is with route, but im new in linux
[21:40] <panfist> noodlesgc...doesnt do anything
[21:40] <pike_> hydrelisk: ssh -X remoteip
[21:40] <E_Data> i pm'd you roly2
[21:40] <ejer> zardosht: are you using network-manager to connect?
[21:40] <panfist> danand that takes packages as arguments
[21:41] <danand_> panfist - or apt-get check??
[21:41] <noodlesgc> panfist sudo apt-get install -f
[21:41] <panfist> danand_ that didnt find anything
[21:41] <zardosht> im using pptpconfig
[21:41] <hydrelisk> pike > dunno what you mean... for example you can launch vim on your terminal from a distant comptuer, how can you launch gedit ("cannot open display """ it says)
[21:41] <DRebellion> hydrelisk: sudo apt-get install openssh-server (on the server). then, (form the client) ssh -X user@host (where user is your username on the server, and host is your server)
[21:41] <hydrelisk> pike > ok i'll try
[21:41] <zardosht> ejer: i can connect well with xp vpn
[21:42] <lollo> savvas must i copy && in the terminall ? all the line ?
[21:42] <DRebellion> hydrelisk: you would need to set up a dynamic dns, and if you have a router enable port forwarding for port 22.
[21:42] <savvas> lollo: yep
[21:42] <hydrelisk> pike > from any terminal? or a tty separated from my gnome session?
[21:42] <lollo> uààà ok, i'll try it
[21:42] <E_Data> still no sound danand_
[21:42] <ejer> zardosht: this is easiest install i can find http://shiny.thorne.id.au/2007/01/pptp-from-ubuntu.html
[21:42] <RichardPRog> ejer: is there any way we can speak via direct IM like AIM or MSN or even in here? i am currently installing the updates you posted on my extra windows machine so it may take a while
[21:42] <danand_> panfist - silly question - but have you run apt-get update??
[21:42] <bcardarell1> neverblue: no luck still... my resolution is still at 1024x768 even though I don't have that setting anywhere in my xorg file... I think Gnome is somehow overriding it
[21:42] <savvas> lollo: copy the line here, then at the terminal, right-click with mouse and select paste
[21:42] <hydrelisk> Drebellion > thank you (and pike too of course) the only thing i was missing was the "-X" option
[21:43] <bonaldo2000> How does one use alsamixer to enable stereo?
[21:43] <ejer> RichardPRog: double click my name in the list
[21:43] <panfist> noodlesgc ok now we're getting somewhere...this is the error i keep getting: 54772
[21:43] <DRebellion> hydrelisk: i guess i went a bit over the top then :P
[21:43] <neverblue> bcardarell1, possibly thats what your monitor can handle ?
[21:43] <RichardPRog> ejerr: i have sent you a message
[21:43] <seeitcoming> Does anyone know why nautilus would be failing to display folder backgrounds properly? I get large black areas in all but a small area of the screen
[21:43] <noodlesgc> panfist does it mention any packages that are broken?
[21:43] <panfist> noodlesgc i mean this error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54772/
[21:43] <bcardarell1> neverblue: no, this monitor can go to 800x600
[21:43] <neverblue> bcardarell1, then how is it going to 1024x768 then ?
[21:44] <lollo> OK but savvas i don't find it in the application windows ! i must write that line everytime i wanna run the program ?
[21:44] <bcardarell1> neverblue: I can manually change the resolution but Gnome doesn't allow me to specify a virtual desktop size
[21:44] <ejer> messaged you RichardPRog
[21:44] <lollo> accessories* savvas
[21:44] <panfist> if i tr to do "sudo apt-get install -f" to fix my system, I keep getting "errors encountered while processing: dhcdbd"
[21:44] <neverblue> bcardarell1, is this the virtual desktop your talking about, or not?
[21:44] <zardosht> ejer: thanx, i'll take a look, but I wonder may be the problem is with route, doesnt it made the route automatically, or i've to make it manually?
[21:44] <bcardarell1> neverblue: I don't know... I think that there is a Gnome configuration file somewhere that is overriding my xorg.conf file...
[21:45] <ejer> zardosht: network manager can do it all for you, use that to set it up
[21:45] <bcardarell1> neverblue: no, the virtual desktop size should be 1600x1200... right now I only have a resolution of 1200x768
[21:45] <noodlesgc> panfist try this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure dhcdbd
[21:45] <jetscreamer> panfist: what about dpkg --configure -a
[21:45] <bakom> hey, I have a problem with ssh... when I enter an ssh connection and log in as a user on a remote pc I get into his home dir... how can I specify an dir outside his home dir?
[21:45] <neverblue> bcardarell1, your being VERY confusing, sorry, dont think I can help you further, good luck
[21:45] <ejer> bakom: just cd to where you want to be
[21:46] <panfist> noodlesgc "/usr/sbin/dhcdbd is broken ornot fully installed"
[21:46] <nkbreau> does anyone here know how to fix the problem in gutsy gibbon where firefox crashes on loading of a page with flash content ? It's starting to drive me nuts... none of the solutions I've found work, using gutsy gibbon...
[21:46] <jetscreamer> bcardarell1: does ctrl+alt+numpad+ or numpad- do anything for you?
[21:46] <panfist> jetscreamer that command gives the same error as apt-get install -f
[21:46] <nkbreau> I'm about ready to go back to vista if i cant get this fixed
[21:46] <nkbreau> it also crashes all browsers, not just firefox
[21:46] <bakom> ejer, I want to use it with unison.. hmm
[21:46] <ejer> nkbreau: the flash plugin is beta
[21:47] <neverblue> nkbreau, the flash package has been broken for quite sometime now, did you try running FF in a terminal, to troubleshoot the output ?
[21:47] <bcardarell1> jetscreamer: does nothing
[21:47] <noodlesgc> nkbreau i found an addon called flashblock
[21:47] <jetscreamer> panfist: i remember that happening to me because the name is easy ... i forget
[21:47] <jetscreamer> how to fix
[21:47] <noodlesgc> panfist try removeing it with the --purge then reinstall
[21:47] <panfist> ok
[21:47] <nkbreau> nah, I'm not low level enough to understand the output ... so does that mean flash isnt supported and i should disable it  ?that would suck hard, ie no youtube...
[21:47] <danand_> panfist - it might help to try --reinstall
[21:47] <hydrelisk> ok thanks for the x forwarding it works nicely:)
[21:47] <lollo> uhmmmm does anyone know the program " youtranslate" ? i must run it through the terminal or there's a way to install it ?
[21:47] <travisat> nkbreau: I have found the best way to view flash pages is to install wine then firefox in wine then flash in wine.  you can use the flash for linux but I find it doesn't work for all forms of flash
[21:47] <jeeaar> can somebody light a path to installing openGL python bindings to enable 3d support on my laptop?
[21:48] <travisat> nkbreau: I normally don't view flash pages
[21:48] <nkbreau> you dont go to youtube ?
[21:48] <noodlesgc> nkbreu http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Faddons.mozilla.org%2Ffirefox%2Faddon%2F433&ei=BYinR8ONLpPievyEvYwD&usg=AFQjCNEOWTG0PYGPXwXs8-aV2oEEdneoRg&sig2=p5zNbOacPbFRJBgMz-KJnw
[21:48] <travisat> nkbreau: oh the flash plugin for linux works for youtube for me
[21:48] <travisat> !flashissues
[21:48] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. Fixes have landed in -proposed for testing, but most most users are advised to wait until packages are approved and released in -updates.
[21:48] <panfist> sweet its not giving me errors...i hope its ok
[21:48] <travisat> !flash
[21:48] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash - The Flash package is currently BROKEN, see « /msg ubotu FlashIssues »
[21:49] <Phat32> Can anyone tell me how to identify my sdlt tape drive from command line?
[21:49] <travisat> nkbreau: you can google for unbroken ubuntu package
[21:49] <nkbreau> yeah youtube is fine for me as well, but just as example as to why i dont want to uninstall flash
[21:49] <travisat> nkbreau: as I said some flash doesn't work, if you really need to see it you can use wine
[21:49] <gnu> !xorg
[21:49] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[21:49] <Slart> travisat: some flash don't work? are you using gnash?
[21:50] <travisat> Slart: nope the adobe one
[21:50] <Slart> travisat: what doesn't work for you using that one?
[21:50] <bonaldo2000> I have mono sound output, how can I enable stereo?
[21:50] <ejer> Phat32: lspci may help
[21:50] <AMDXP> man this Crunch bang linux isnt bad
[21:50] <Phat32> I tried lspci but that didn't find it
[21:50] <Slart> travisat: I haven't found a single flash app not working with adobe's flash
[21:50] <travisat> Slart: one for instance is zeropunctuation.com his reviews are funny but won't work with linux flash, but will using wine
[21:50] <travisat> at least for me
[21:50] <ompaul> Slart, try konqueror
[21:51] <Slart> travisat: works for me.. I love that guy too.. watched them several times
[21:51] <travisat> Slart: wierd, must be my install
[21:51] <E_Data> i frequently leave my computer on over night but 9 out of 10 times after it has sat by itself for a while I come back and my audio doesnt work, is there a service or something that I can stop and restart to get it to work without restarting? unplugging the speaker cord and plugging it back in does nothing... restarting alsa-utils does nothing either
[21:51] <jetscreamer> what is the tape hooked up to?
[21:51] <Slart> ompaul: I'm not the one with the problem.. my flash works nicely
[21:51] <jetscreamer> a pci card?
[21:51] <ejer> bonaldo2000: are you sure your mixer is not set up with one channel muted
[21:51] <panfist> I still keep getting "the network manager app cannot find required resources and can't continue" randomly pop up when synaptic finishes installing or updating
[21:51] <noodlesgc> bonaldo2000 try right clicking on your volume icon and click open volume control and see if anything there helps
[21:51] <travisat> Slart: I am using the 64 bit distro that might be the problem
[21:51] <Phat32> Linux proliant 2.6.17-10-server #2 SMP Tue Dec 5 22:29:32 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux. The tape drive is not pci... It's scsi actually
[21:52] <Slart> travisat: oh, you're not getting off that easily.. I'm using 64-bit too =)
[21:52] <ejer> E_Data: you rmmod youraudiodriver && modprobe youraudiodriver
[21:52] <travisat> Slart: how did you install flash?
[21:52] <jetscreamer> well lsPCI might not work
[21:52] <bonaldo2000> ejer: you're talking about alsamixer right? I am quite sure no channel is muted!
[21:52] <bonaldo2000> noodlesgc: hm, I only have access via console...
[21:52] <E_Data> i do what with who ejer?
[21:52] <Phat32> any suggestions?
[21:52] <whyking_>
[21:52] <ejer> bonaldo2000: not a channel, a speaker
[21:52] <jetscreamer> Phat32: check dmesg and /var/log/dmesg
[21:52] <Slart> travisat: it just kind of installed itsself when I upgraded to gutsy.. this was before the flash package started acting up
[21:52] <ejer> E_Data: that is the answer, or else reboot...
[21:52] <jack-desktop> is there a remote desktop program that doesn't mess up with compiz fusion running?
[21:52] <noodlesgc> bonaldo2000 o, i dont think i can help
[21:52] <jetscreamer> Phat32: i'm not up on scsi so i'm not much help
[21:52] <bonaldo2000> ejer: no because there is sound in both speakers...its just the same in both
[21:52] <ejer> vnc jack-desktop
[21:53] <gnu> Phat32: euhm.. i guess u misstaked :) wrong person
[21:53] <jack-desktop> ejer, when i try to connect to someone using compiz, it's just a screenshot
[21:53] <E_Data> what is rmmod or modprobe? and where do i find my audio driver?
[21:53] <noodlesgc> panfist try googling the error message
[21:53] <travisat> Slart: ah I used the flash install on the forums because the flash package was broken
[21:53] <Slart> travisat: ahh.. guess there was some magic in the package after all =)
[21:53] <jetscreamer> Phat32: or just browse /dev or /proc or /sys and try to figure out where it is
[21:53] <jetscreamer> cat some stuff
[21:53] <travisat> Slart: well hopefully they will fix the packages soon
[21:54] <ejer> jack-desktop: ah... i have not seen this problem
[21:54] <Slart> travisat: indeed.. it will save this channel some bandwidth =)
[21:54] <E_Data> ejer where do i find my audio drivers file name and what would that look like in terminal?
[21:54] <travisat> Slart: I just find it strange that most flash works, but just a couple don't
[21:54] <ejer> flash will only be fixed in hardy apparently
[21:54] <Slart> travisat: anything else that doesn't work?
[21:55] <ejer> E_Data: they will be listed in lsmod, and should start with snd_
[21:55] <E_Data> speak english ejer
[21:55] <jetscreamer> lsmod|grep snd_
[21:55] <travisat> Slart: nope just got a vnc up to my vista box so im happy, vista is so much more buggy then this, in the time it took me to install ultravnc explorer.exe crashed
[21:55] <lollo> i need a good offline language translator  !!!

[21:55] <LjL> lollo: no such thing (no free one at least)
[21:55] <ejer> E_Data: if you don't understand you need to look it up or simply do it the easy way, reboot. I am speaking english already, sorry.

[22:00] <Phat32> dmesg is useless because it just gives me pages of complaining about psmouse.c
[22:00] <crackerjack> thanx, do i need any add ons??
[22:00] <DRebellion> StaticSignal: good for you. see? it was windows all along...
[22:00] <niowe> is it safe to 'fsck /drive' on ext3 ?
[22:00] <feanor> http://paste.org/index.php?id=1969 help me plz !
[22:00] <savvas> niowe: I think there's no -y argument, try fsck /dev/sda2
[22:00] <noodlesgc> exit
[22:00] <ejer> niowe: fsck should know what type of drive it is, but no problem to use fsck.ext3
[22:00] <ejer> and savvas yes tehre is that switch
[22:00] <DRebellion> Phat32: does it give a line number? you could try reading pmouse.c if it does...
[22:01] <niowe> savvas: thanks...   -y that means 'answer yes to all questions'

[22:01] <savvas> sorry
[22:01] <StaticSignal> DRebellion: Actually, I'm pretty sure that it was the horribly crippled and customized Windows install HP included on my machine. I'm going to install right-proper XP pro x64 in a couple days, and stick it to 'em.
[22:01] <savvas> Xintruder: yes, but don't update to the latest one
[22:01] <Phat32> DRebellion, I dumped the whole thing to a file. Should I pastebin it?
[22:01] <crackerjack> do i need any add ons??
[22:02] <savvas> Xintruder: the only thing left is java, still a problem
[22:02] <Xintruder> latest what?
[22:02] <ejer> flash is broken
[22:02] <savvas> Xintruder: /topic

[22:03] <savvas> ejer: yeah i read that, I thought they were joking. why doesn't someone fix it?
[22:03] <schumaml> most likely the gimp-python package is not installed, right?

[22:19] <Slart> cosmodad: I think you'll be wanting to ask that question to a ubuntu dev.. I don't think there are many here

[22:19] <dax_roc> Evening all
[22:19] <cosmodad> Slart: would -devel be an appropriate channel for that? The question seemed somewhat user-based
[22:19] <cosmodad> Slart: ah ok
[22:19] <neverblue> afternoon dax_roc
[22:20] <Slart> cosmodad: not many users compare server images to desktop images.. and even less know what that flag does.. =)
[22:20] <cosmodad> Slart: surely you are right. I just considered -devel to be inappropriate, but I'll give it a try.
[22:20] <Slart> cosmodad: well.. if they bite your head off you're welcome back here =)
[22:20] <cosmodad> Slart: heh :)
[22:21] <unop> gnu, the refresh rates supported by monitors vary from model to model, you should refer to the product manual to know what they are -- or better run - dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg   to get the script to autodetect those settings
[22:21] <ssssss> Hi. Why doesn't `mount` list my root drive?
[22:21] <unop> forsaken,  ldconfig could help but it depends on the type of libraries they are
[22:21] <norv> anyone know why nspluginviewer segfaults all the time when there is Flash content on a page?
[22:21] <Slart> ssssss: hmm.. mine does.. right at the top
[22:22] <Slart> ssssss: but one might argue that the root filesystem is already mounted when fstab is read..
[22:22] <cosmodad> Slart: any chance you are running Gutsy and could do me a favor and check?
[22:22] <unop> Slart, mount should report it nonetheless
[22:22] <cosmodad> Slart: forum postings seem to indicate Gutsy does come with tickless enabled.
[22:22] <Slart> cosmodad: sure.. running gutsy 64biot
[22:22] <ssssss> Slart, mine doesn't... it's really confusing the fsck out of me.... why wouldn't it be listed?
[22:22] <cosmodad> Slart: ah, n/m then. 64bit doesn't do tickless yet.
[22:22] <Mad972> Hello there my asus laptop hotkey for brightness up doesn't work, any suggestions?
[22:22] <Slart> cosmodad: if you can wait 40 secs I can check on a 32 bit
[22:23] <cosmodad> Slart: cool, thanks.
[22:23] <dax_roc> Is there an option to install from cli with the cd ?
[22:23] <Slart> ssssss: I have no idea.. is it breaking stuff? or it's just an annoyance?
[22:23] <ssssss> Can someone pastebin their fstab - I want to sanity check mine
[22:24] <Zetix> how can i rename script in rc2.d to disabe script startup

[22:24] <Slart> dax_roc: I don't think you can do a cli install with the regular live cd
[22:24] <Jordan_U> Is it OK that there is a kernel update available but no corresponding update for the fglrx drivers?
[22:24] <ssssss> Slart, it's breaking stuff... specifically it says the drive is full all the time
[22:24] <Jordan_U> dax_roc, How desperate are you?
[22:24] <Zetix> how can i rename script in rc2.d to disabe script startup

[22:26] <Jordan_U> ejer, Not enough changes to require recompiling even though the headers have changed? Why is it sometimes required and not others?
[22:27] <ejer> Jordan_U: it is a binary package
[22:27] <Jordan_U> ejer, Yes, but it still links to the kernel

[22:28] <ssssss> unop, thanks
[22:28] <fryfrog> Does anyone know of some good documentation on screen rotation in Ubuntu?
[22:28] <cosmodad> Slart: I think I found the solution: I'm using the -386 kernel image. Apparently, only -generic enable dynticks.
[22:28] <cosmodad> Slart: which one do you use?
[22:28] <gnu> unop: hmm, oke, thx. only.. if it was so easy :) look, ihave now 17", 60Hz tft, but i want to swap him to 15" vga 50Hz, Tulp. I have alredy changed resolution from 1280*1024 to 1024*768. But refresh rate is still 60Hz. This is the lowest i can select now from Screen Resolution setup gui. So im thinking to maybe lower a littlebit the range, from 60 to 50, and also same to vertical. Woldnt it be pissible? Cuz i tryed to search a littlebit for haracteristics of my
[22:28] <gnu>  Tulip vga, but havent foruded alot. So.. i dunno rly
[22:28] <Pentarex> DRebellion: m8 are u here ?
[22:28] <Slart> cosmodad: I use generic
[22:28] <Slart> !smp
[22:28] <ubotu> Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed)
[22:28] <cosmodad> Slart: there you go.
[22:28] <nathan_101> For samba printing would I want to say load printers = yes?
[22:29] <Pentarex> can anyone help me
[22:29] <dax_roc> what cd do I need ?
[22:29] <cosmodad> Slart: thanks for the help. Installing -generic now.
[22:29] <Slart> cosmodad: 386? isn't that ancient? what kind of computer do you run it on?
[22:29] <Slart> cosmodad: you're welcome
[22:29] <Pentarex> can anyone help me i have problems with download on the hard drive
[22:29] <cosmodad> Slart: well 386 is even more generic. :) This is a Pentium M laptop, about 2 years old.
[22:30] <cosmodad> Slart: I've continuously upgrading this machine from Ubuntu 5.04 on. This might have affected the fact I'm still on -386.
[22:30] <cosmodad> upgraded*
[22:30] <Slart> cosmodad: hehe.. well.. I guess the pentium m is getting rather old.
[22:30] <ssssss> ok... anyone know how to autogenerate fstab? all the examples I've seen have UUIDs etc in them and mine doesn't and is in a bit of a mess
[22:31] <cosmodad> Slart: certainly. Core 2 duos are standard these days.
[22:31] <Tonren> p/wc
[22:31] <Pentarex> how to change the rights for hard drive under the console
[22:31] <Pentarex> ?
[22:31] <gnu> could anyone be able to tell me, in the command "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg", what does "-phigh" part mean?
[22:32] <ejer> gnu: I assume you have googled the word phigh ?
[22:32] <ejer> cause first result is the answer
[22:32] <unop_> gnu, it sets the priority of questions asked -- the lower the priority, the more questions are asked
[22:32] <Slart> cosmodad: here's some info on dynticks not being available on 386.. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/150018
[22:32] <ejer> gnu: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-346138.html
[22:33] <gnu> ejer: to be honest, not rly, was googlin' for refresh rate range :)
[22:33] <nathan_101> Question about Samba drivers, will they be able to be installed from the windows machine?
[22:33] <cosmodad> Slart: yeah found that one too.
[22:33] <panfist> how can i remove software that i installed from a tar?
[22:33] <cosmodad> panfist: only manually.
[22:34] <gnu> unop_: ty
[22:34] <Webu> What's the command for getting IP-address from DHCP?
[22:34] <Jordan_U> panfist, Depends unfortunately
[22:34] <cosmodad> panfist: if you used configure/make/make install, you might be lucky and have a 'make uninstall' succeed.
[22:34] <adante> any freenx users here? just wondernig if there is a way to speed up the session connect/disconnect
[22:34] <panfist> cosmodad which means i need to find it and delete all of the folders/files it created?
[22:34] <ejer> nathan_101: that does not make sense... what is the issue?
[22:34] <cosmodad> panfist: right.
[22:34] <danielski_pl> jrib: r u online?
[22:34] <Jordan_U> panfist, What exact steps did you follow to install it?
[22:35] <gnu> unop_: btw, i was telling to "unop" (i guess its u, and in case u didnt noticed)
[22:35] <nathan_101> ejer, when I'm connecting to the printer from an xp machine will it be able to install the drivers from the ubuntu machine or will i have to provide them
[22:35] <unop_> ssssss, it's likely that you have your old fstab carried over when you upgraded ubuntu or migrated over from another OS -- the old style fstab still works fine thoug
[22:35] <gnu> unop_: hmm, oke, thx. only.. if it was so easy :) look, ihave now 17", 60Hz tft, but i want to swap him to 15" vga 50Hz, Tulp. I have alredy changed resolution from 1280*1024 to 1024*768. But refresh rate is still 60Hz. This is the lowest i can select now from Screen Resolution setup gui.

[22:35] <unop_> Webu, sudo dhclient interface
[22:36] <danielski_pl> what is the path to xorg.log?
[22:36] <NW2190> Hey, does anyone know how to determine the Device Url of a printer connected to a Windows computer?
[22:36] <ejer> nathan_101: there is a way to do it, but no, by default users will need to install driver manually
[22:36] <nathan_101> ejer, thats fine
[22:36] <NW2190> (I'm trying to set up a printer via CUPS on my  computer with Ubuntu)
[22:37] <panfist> jordan_u i ran a script that came in the tar
[22:37] <unop_> gnu, again, if i were you, i'd refer to the technical specifications for the particular monitor - setting the refresh rate too low or too high will set it out of resolution
[22:37] <cafaro> how can i update firefox, i already tried updating firefox with "apt-get install firefox", but the response is that firefox is already the newest version (~1.5)
[22:37] <panfist> unrelated question: can i edit the places menu?
[22:37] <unop_> gnu, the script should autodetect what the optimal refresh rate is anyway
[22:38] <Jordan_U> panfist, can you pastebin or otherwise link to the script? Did it have a remove option?
[22:38] <ejer> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu NW2190
[22:38] <danielski_pl> what is the path to xorg.log?
[22:38] <ejer> cafaro: what version of ubuntu?
[22:38] <Jordan_U> panfist, Yes, right click and "edit menus"
[22:38] <ejer> danielski_pl: /var/log/
[22:38] <NW2190> ejer: Thanks I'll try that
[22:38] <panfist> jordan_u only applications and system shows up for me, not places
[22:38] <danielski_pl> thanx ejer
[22:39] <panfist> jordan_u i'm redownloading the tar now. 60 megs. it was for vmware btw
[22:39] <gnu> unop_: okey, thank you, i will do it, the only, not so easy part would be, how do i get to cli, for entering that command for reconfiguring xorg :) but, thank you anyway, ill figure it out:)
[22:39] <ejer> danielski_pl: note it is with capital Xorg.0.log
[22:39] <Jordan_U> panfist, VMware  comes with an uninstall script

[22:39] <nelsonbaptista> hola buenas noches... tengo un problema hacerca de amule que noconsigo como conectarlo!!

[22:39] <gnu> wow, that "-phigh" command is awesome, thank u :)
[22:39] <panfist> jordan_u ahh so i just have to find it
[22:40] <Jordan_U> panfist, Yup, it's in the tar
[22:40] <cafaro> how can you check the current version of ubuntu? ejer ?
[22:40] <nelsonbaptista> Gracias!
[22:40] <Webu> unop_, thanks a lot!
[22:40] <gnu> ejer; euhm, the trouble is, i dont think ill be able to have gui running to go that path after i swap monitors , hehe :) anyway, thx, ill go try it:)
[22:41] <Jordan_U> !version | cafaro
[22:41] <ubotu> cafaro: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell
[22:41] <ejer> cafaro: cat /etc/issue
[22:41] <ejer> also
[22:41] <panfist> jordan_u ok i found the uninstall script and that was a success but im still having trouble with the places menu. but its not that big of a deal. thanks for the help so far
[22:42] <unop_> ejer, /etc/issue is subject to change tho -- the information you get from it might not be reliable
[22:42] <ejer> should be in ubuntu
[22:42] <Jordan_U> panfist, np
[22:42] <cafaro> ejer: 6.06.2 LTS (dapper)
[22:42] <ejer> cafaro: so that is latest version of firefox available to you, do you NEED to upgrade?
[22:43] <danielski_pl> can some one please have a look at my Xorg.0.log pastebin and tell me why my gdm restarts when i run a game, it does it in KDE too
[22:43] <danielski_pl> http://pastebin.com/m38b168c5
[22:43] <dax_roc> damn , 800x600 is not friendly , is there a bug report for hardy ?
[22:44] <panfist> how do i edit the places menu. when i right click -> edit menus, all i see are applications and system
[22:44] <cafaro> do i need to install the latest version of ubuntu in order to get the latest of firefox ejer ?
[22:44] <Jordan_U> cafaro, No
[22:44] <unop_> dax_roc, bugs are expected in alpha releases :) you expect that naturally, dont you?
[22:44] <ejer> cafaro: yes, you need to upgrade
[22:44] <ejer> if you want latest FF
[22:45] <dax_roc> unop_: using gutsy. wondering if it has been taged for hardy
[22:45] <Jordan_U> ejer, I think upgrading just to get the latest FF is a bit much
[22:45] <ejer> unless Jordan_U knows how
[22:45] <ejer> yes Jordan_U I would not suggest someone upgrade for just FF
[22:45] <unop_> dax_roc, if you think you have found a bug in gutsy, then you should file in a report for gutsy, not hardy :)
[22:45] <ejer> but if you check you will see that FF2 will not be backported to dapper
[22:46] <cafaro> is complete reinstallation of Ubuntu required to get from my version (6.02.2) to the latest one available?
[22:46] <unop_> !upgrade | cafaro
[22:46] <ubotu> cafaro: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[22:46] <Jordan_U> cafaro, No
[22:46] <ejer> no cafaro you can upgrade inside ubuntu
[22:46] <danielski_pl> found this in user.log, what does this mean "Feb  3 20:11:15 daniel-desktop gnome-power-manager: (daniel) This program cannot start until you start the dbus session service.  This is usually started automatically in X or gnome startup when you start a new session."
[22:46] <ejer> danielski_pl: you are only using 2d graphics, so if game is 3d it will not work
[22:47] <Jordan_U> cafaro, I would reccommend downloading FF2 separately and waiting until Hardy is released to upgrade directly to it
[22:47] <Jordan_U> cafaro, I can walk you through installing FF2 in dapper
[22:47] <unop_> ejer, ehh? was that in reference to the dbus daemon problem?
[22:47] <ejer> Jordan_U: that is not a recommended way to go because it will break further updates imo
[22:47] <jack-desktop> whats the command to change file properties, like chmod?
[22:47] <sarthor> i have cache_peer <IP_ADDRESS> parent 8080 0 default and cache_peer <IP_ADDRESS> parent 8080 0 and acl name is dlowd, i want to allow only 2nd cache_peer for acl dload?? How
[22:47] <bruenig> jack-desktop, it is chmod
[22:47] <danielski_pl> ejer: how do i change it to 3d
[22:47] <ejer> unop_: no
[22:48] <Jordan_U> ejer, I am going to tell him how to install it in his home folder so it does not conflict and can be removed easily
[22:48] <ejer> danielski_pl: did you use the restricted-driver manager to install the graphics card drivers?
[22:48] <jack-desktop> bruenig, thanks.
[22:48] <danielski_pl> ejer: yes
[22:48] <ejer> what vid card danielski_pl
[22:48] <adac2> is there a deb for sasc-ng?
[22:49] <Jordan_U> cafaro, the easiest ( and least invasive ) thing to do to install Firefox 2 is to first download the tar.gz from mozilla's site ( I'm getting the link now... )
[22:49] <unop_> sarthor, is that in relation to squid?
[22:49] <bruenig> !find sasc-ng
[22:49] <ubuntu> I need to recover  a ntfs partition, probably I have bad sector on my hd (it fell down)  and I can't boot anymore from XP
[22:49] <cafaro> So it's not possible to update from the latest version of ubuntu from 6.02 (dapper)  directly in one step?
[22:49] <ubotu> Package/file sasc-ng does not exist in gutsy
[22:49] <herymx> hi, i've a trouble with google earth in xubuntu, my video card is INTEL 915
[22:49] <sarthor> unop_> Yes..i have ask in the related chan but now 1 replying there.

[22:50] <cafaro> i already downloaded FF2
[22:50] <danielski_pl> ejer: G-force 8500GT 512MB
[22:50] <Double> im so horny  :)
[22:50] <cafaro> now i need to install it

[22:50] <ubotu> Double: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[22:50] <ubuntu> does anybody know how to use the command fsck to fix ntfs ?
[22:50] <Jordan_U> cafaro, Have you finished downloading it yet?
[22:51] <cafaro> yes
[22:51] <PriceChild> ubuntu, i'd suggest using window's own tools
[22:51] <Jordan_U> ubuntu, There is none AFIK
[22:51] <cafaro> untarred it too already now
[22:51] <ejer> danielski_pl: can you paste your xorg.conf
[22:51] <Double> sorry
[22:51] <unop_> ubuntu, you must be advised that ntfs support is not 100% reliable and you can do irrepairable damage
[22:51] <ubuntu> windows doesn,t start anymore, I have bad sectors
[22:51] <Jordan_U> cafaro, Ok, now you can just drag the script named "firefox" to your top panel and you should be able to start it from there
[22:52] <theone> Hello - there are better channels for this but ubuntu rocks so I am here. Can anyone offer advice on selecting and moving more than one text box in OpenOffice Writer.
[22:52] <Jordan_U> cafaro, ( This is how I have FF3 Beta installed on my machine )
[22:52] <unop_> ubuntu, you should ask the guys in ##windows on howto perform recovery on that drive
[22:52] <danielski_pl> ejer: where do i find that file?
[22:52] <ubuntu> but I have just ubuntu live cd
[22:52] <ejer> danielski_pl: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[22:53] <gop> all I see is my sata /sdc but no ide /hd** what ever
[22:53] <gop> in the install of ubuntu
[22:53] <cafaro> should i run it in the terminal or what? Jordan_U  ?
[22:53] <unop_> ubuntu, read my last-but-one post -- you can do damage to your NTFS partition with an ubuntu CD
[22:53] <Dr_Willis> gop,  try a sudo fdisk -l , that will show all disks seen by the system and where they are seen at.,
[22:54] <gop> yea I see all /sd
[22:54] <cafaro> you mean the shell script? Jordan_U
[22:54] <gop> that is /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc
[22:54] <danielski_pl> ejer: http://pastebin.com/m308e049b
[22:54] <gop> but not the ide disk
[22:54] <ubuntu> ok but the hd is already dead
[22:54] <unop_> gop, ubuntu does not use hd* devices - all drives are controlled via the SATA module
[22:54] <ubuntu> so I  can't lose anything at this stage
[22:54] <Jordan_U> cafaro, Yes
[22:54] <arooni-mobile> what is wrong with ubuntu?  whenever i try to copy/paste text i get only this: ŸŸ
[22:55] <Domino> Hello
[22:55] <Dr_Willis> gop,  now a days - ide drives also show up as sd## on many ystems.
[22:55] <assasukasse> hi everyone, my logoff, shutdown, reboot icons disappeared...i can't find the key in gconf to enable again...someone can help?
[22:55] <unop_> ubuntu, just because windows fails to boot, does not mean the drive is dead -- if you are _not_ bothered with the contents on the disk, you can just wipe the partition off and start from scratch
[22:55] <ejer> arooni-mobile: are you running a VM by any chance?
[22:55] <cafaro> Jordan_U: when i click on the script, my old FF starts again..

[22:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about global-menu - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[22:56] <gop> after I reboot Dr_Willis  it says no os installed
[22:56] <ubuntu> I see some data but I have bad sectors
[22:56] <ejer> arooni-mobile: update to newest verson, it is their bug - and I just saved you a tON of troubleshooting
[22:56] <Jordan_U> cafaro, Try closing your old firefox first ( it tries to detect if FF is already open )
[22:56] <unop_> reZo, you need the libgtk2.0-dev package
[22:56] <arooni-mobile> ejer, you rock!!!!  how do i upgrade it
[22:56] <reZo> unop_: will that be enough to install it?
[22:56] <arooni-mobile> ejer, do i have to re-download from their site
[22:56] <ejer> arooni-mobile: you should have followed their info to add a repo, if not, grab newer package from their site
[22:56] <unop_> reZo, perhaps
[22:57] <cafaro> it worked thanks
[22:57] <Jordan_U> cafaro, np, when 8.04 is released you should be able to upgrade to it directly and simply remove the firefox directory to uninstall it
[22:58] <Redhammer_the_Ol> hello simple question: what program do I use to print two copies of the same picture on page
[22:58] <Redhammer_the_Ol>  without making a second file as that is getting tidious
[22:58] <Domino> anyone know how I can configure buntu to work with my 32" crt monitor? All I can get out of it is 640 resolution I'd like 8x600 or 1024x768 preferrably. I got my tv hooked uop to my atix1300 via s-video, but it doesn't recognize the tv monitor...
[22:58] <cafaro> ok
[22:58] <jack-desktop> whats the terminal command to create a file
[22:58] <amenado> touch filename
[22:58] <ejer> Jordan_U: i was just checking the updates page, it suggests you can't upgrade from dapper > gutsy for instance.. do you know if that is true?
[22:58] <ejer> jack-desktop: touch filename
[22:58] <jack-desktop> amenado, only touch?
[22:58] <Jordan_U> cafaro, And again, if you want to create a shortcut to FF2 you can drag the "firefox" script into your gnome-panel
[22:58] <cafaro> you know when the new version of Ubuntu will come out, Jordan_U ?
[22:58] <X600> I'm having a problem getting my broadcom wireless device working (it's a BCM4315). I've followed several guides, including the ones on the Ubuntu docs and forums, but no luck. If anyone could take some time and help me, I can run through the steps I've already gone through to get the error messages again...
[22:58] <jack-desktop> there isnt another cmd?
[22:58] <ejer> nice one amenado
[22:58] <cafaro> yes already done that :)
[22:59] <unop_> Redhammer_the_Ol, iirc, you can configure such a thing in the printer properties - i dont know the exact procedure as i dont use gnome
[22:59] <amenado> jack-desktop   vim filename
[22:59] <amenado> and then save it
[22:59] <ejer> jack-desktop: echo "content" > filename
[22:59] <fantum13> Hello, I used apt-build to make a number of packages, and now they're coming up on upgrade-manager as outdated, even though I know they're fine. is there any way I can implement package pinning for my apt-build repository above the normal ones, but below security and updates?
[22:59] <Jordan_U> cafaro, April
[22:59] <unop_> jack-desktop, echo>filename
[22:59] <jack-desktop> i've beent rying to use touch and i'm pretty sure theres another one that actually creates files in directories not made yet
[22:59] <X600> Or rather, not error messages, but specific problems.
[22:59] <Yura> Can anyone PM me and help a bit with mounting an SD card, i can't seem to get it to work..........?
[22:59] <CarlFK> what is the name of the  kernel package that u-server uses?
[22:59] <reZo> er, my apt is coming up with a "-f install" problem, however, it's trying to remove a lot of packages i want. this was caused by me attempting to install global-menu from before, how do i remove the broken packages which have older dependncies?
[23:00] <reZo> like, remove the -f install for gtk2-engines-pixbuf etc?
[23:00] <benzss> i installed kubuntu-desktop and decided i don't like it... is there a proper way to remove it?
[23:00] <amenado> jack-desktop, you have to use mkdir to create the dir
[23:00] <reZo> benzss: apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop --purge
[23:00] <jack-desktop> amenado, i thought there was a command and a option like "-p" to create the file in non existing directiores
[23:00] <salentino> ciao
[23:01] <Domino> anyone tried installing ubuntu on an eepc? I'm tempted to try
[23:01] <Yura> Support request for anyone thats willing to help me out for a couple of minutes....
[23:01] <salentino> scusate mi servirebbe un po di aiuto
[23:01] <ejer> Domino: works great!
[23:01] <Jordan_U> ejer, For him to upgrade to Gutsy now he would have to first upgrade to edgy, then feisty ( with any upgrade problems that people experienced with those releases ) if he waits until 8.04 is out he can upgrade directly since it is an LTS release ( you should be able to upgrade directly from one LTS release, like dapper, to the next without going through the intermediate releases )
[23:01] <amenado> jack-desktop, mkdir -p ~username/dirdontexist/newfile
[23:01] <unop_> jack-desktop, you mean mkdir -- mkdir -p /path/to/non/existant/directory
[23:01] <tinman> Hello Jack_Sparrow
[23:01] <ejer> Jordan_U: i know you should be able to, but page says no
[23:01] <unop_> jack-desktop, but that doesnt create a file -- it just creates a directory
[23:02] <Jack_Sparrow> Hello
[23:02] <ejer> !it | salentino
[23:02] <Jordan_U> ejer, What do you mean? Hardy is not released yet
[23:02] <ubotu> salentino: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[23:02] <generalj_> Hello everyone, I have a question; I just updated my linux-headers that where available in update-manager and now my video is in low graphic mode and my sound dont work. It is gutsy 64bit.
[23:02] <jack-desktop> i thought i remembered a cmd that did both, my bad.
[23:02] <ejer> Jordan_U: where do you see you can upgrade from dapper > feisty even?
[23:02] <Domino> really? Including package manager? How about disk space? And drivers for the eepc? Was it flawless switching, or did you run into any hiccups?
[23:02] <CarlFK> http://packages.ubuntu.com is timing out. is there a US mirror ?
[23:02] <Jordan_U> ejer, You can't, only dapper -> edgy -> feisty
[23:03] <Mad972> hello there don't wanna spam but my asus laptop's hotkey for brightness up is undetected ... anyone can help?
[23:03] <ejer> ok, where do you see that info Jordan_U
[23:03] <lufis> Can someone help me configure moblock? I whitelisted http/https traffic and still websites are blocked.
[23:03] <Jordan_U> !upgrade | ejer
[23:03] <ubotu> ejer: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[23:03] <fantum13> lufis: what are you using moblock for?
[23:03] <Domino> off to dinner u all have a good night
[23:03] <lufis> fantum13: To block a certain range of hosts, that's what everybody uses it for.
[23:03] <ejer> right sorry, was looking at worng place Jordan_U thx
[23:03] <fantum13> lufis: For p2p?
[23:04] <Yura> Can anybody help me get my Memory card reader on my Notebook to work? I cannot get it to detecT!!!
[23:04] <lufis> fantum13: Exnay on the p2p-ay.
[23:04] <Jordan_U> ejer, np
[23:04] <Jordan_U> generalj_, Did you install your graphics drivers manually?
[23:05] <voice> how do i install steam under wine?
[23:05] <generalj_> Jordan_U: I think I used envy to install the driver.
[23:05] <Dr_Willis> !appdb | voice
[23:05] <ubotu> voice: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org
[23:05] <generalj_> I was thinking of getting the source from nvidia and compiling it manually though
[23:05] <lufis> fantum13: Do you have any ideas?
[23:06] <Jordan_U> generalj_, Then you will need to use envy again any time there is a kernel update ( envy is not recommended BTW )
[23:06] <DoYouKnow> is it possible that my compiz settings that I change in the compizconfig settings manager aren't taking effect because I am passing parameters to compiz about which plugins to enable at load time?
[23:06] <fantum13> lufis: If you were using it for p2p, I was going to suggest you use the plugin that has the same functionality in Deluge. That's the reason I've never used moblock.
[23:06] <DoYouKnow> I don't know why, but my compiz settings are occasionally being erased
[23:06] <DoYouKnow> and smart windows, for example
[23:06] <ronny1> half life 2 looks pretty good on wine
[23:06] <DoYouKnow> smart window placement
[23:06] <generalj_> Jordan_U: should I just uninstall it, then compile the driver from the source from nvidia website?
[23:06] <Jordan_U> generalj_, That will work also, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual
[23:06] <DoYouKnow> gets re-enabled
[23:06] <travisat> voice: have you downloaded teh steam.msi?
[23:06] <lufis> fantum13: i would prefer a system-wide solution... but unfortunately moblock is blocking http traffic too
[23:07] <Jordan_U> generalj_, Yes.
[23:07] <fantum13> lufis: You could try using Firestarter and blocking the hosts you want there.
[23:07] <Flare183> !enter
[23:07] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[23:07] <generalj_> Jordan_U: Thanks Jordan.
[23:07] <travisat> voice: anyway on commandline in the directory its wine msiexec /i steam.msi
[23:08] <Jordan_U> generalj_, np
[23:08] <Jack_Sparrow> generalj_: FYI Envy is a terrible idea
[23:08] <generalj_> Jack_Sparrow: Thanks, I thought it was a good app, atleast compared to automatix, but I think I will stray away form it from now on...
[23:09] <Jack_Sparrow> generalj_: good luck

[23:10] <danielski_pl> ejer: were u able to find out something from the pastebin i posted
[23:10] <fantum13> So would anyone know how I could pin packages that I install with apt-build, but still get updates?
[23:11] <voice> thanks travisat
[23:11] <Thinkingman> Quick question folks: easiest way to copy a directory ignoring all files/folders named .svn ?
[23:11] <Thinkingman> can't seem to find any obvious switch
[23:12] <Yura> Is it possible to mount a Sony/Memory Stick Duo(2) With Ubuntu? I have read various sources saying there are no drivers for it, and so it is impossible for now?1
[23:13] <travisat> Thinkingman: I can't think of a single way, but I would make a tmp directory and mv the svn files there then movet hem back
[23:13] <unop_> Thinkingman,  find /path/ | grep -vi ".svn" | while read n; do cp -vi "$n" /newpath; done
[23:13] <seeitcoming> Does anyone know why nautilus would be failing to display folder backgrounds properly? I get large black areas in all but a small area of the screen
[23:13] <travisat> Thinkingman: I am sure there is a way involving grep and pipes but I can't think of it off the top of my head
[23:13] <d> irc://irc.darksin.net/
[23:13] <Thinkingman> unop_: I love you kids somehow
[23:14] <unop_> Thinkingman, i'm gald atleast you think i'm a kid :)
[23:15] <Thinkingman> unop_: don't flatter yourself too much, I call everyone kid
[23:15] <Thinkingman> it really bothers my mom
[23:15] <unop_> Thinkingman, there's a better way with cpio that i can't easily/readily type out
[23:15] <Jordan_U> unop_, You look very young for your age, I think it might be the '_' in your nick, it really brings out your 'o'
[23:15] <unop_> Thinkingman, :)
[23:15] <pinsmack> i'm a linux noob
[23:15] <pinsmack> how do i install winrar and other programs?
[23:15] <__mikem> you don't
[23:16] <pinsmack> k
[23:16] <Jordan_U> !rar | pinsmack
[23:16] <ubotu> pinsmack: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[23:16] <magnetron> pinsmack: you don't need winrar. just install unrar in synaptic
[23:16] <reZo> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=687816
[23:16] <unop_> Jordan_U, the _ is not intentional -- irssi keeps dropping and reconnecting
[23:16] <Jack_Sparrow> !packages
[23:16] <ubotu> You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search <keywords or regex>", the "apt:/" URL in KDE, or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways!
[23:16] <Jordan_U> unop_, Well without it you look old so...
[23:16] <magnetron> !botabuse > Jack_Sparrow
[23:16] <unop_> Jordan_U, explains a lot ... :)
[23:17] <Jack_Sparrow> magnetron: Behave

[23:17] <walash> can someone show me how to watch cc.live on my machine
[23:17] <Jack_Sparrow> soldats: HE was only trying to help.. thankfully I am in a good mood
[23:17] <mnemonica> Can anyone direct me to a place that I might find "bcmwl15.inf" and "bcmwl15.sys"
[23:17] <mnemonica> ?
[23:18] <piedoggie> I'm also looking to find out how to eliminate evolution in favor of thunder bird.
[23:18] <Jack_Sparrow> mnemonica: broadcom drivers
[23:18] <Seveas> mnemonica, system -> admin -> restricted drivers manager
[23:18] <mnemonica> Jack_Sparrow: Google it, I'm guessing?
[23:18] <mattmatteh> i am new to ubuntu and can not figure out how to unstall wgetpaste or nopaste.  i was googling but didnt find out how to isntall one of those
[23:18] <Jordan_U> mnemonica, Ignore whatever guide you are trying to follow and try restricted manager first
[23:18] <Jack_Sparrow> mnemonica: No.. there is a site.. driverguide.com  or something.. free access
[23:19] <crdlb> mattmatteh: pastebinit is in universe
[23:19] <mnemonica> Jordan_U: Already did, didn't do anything
[23:19] <crdlb> I don't believe ubuntu has either of those though
[23:19] <Jordan_U> mnemonica, What is the exact chipset?
[23:19] <Jack_Sparrow> mnemonica: I assume you are using fwcutter or ndiswrapper with those
[23:19] <Jordan_U> mnemonica, And what version of Ubuntu?
[23:19] <mattmatteh> crdlb, ill look, thanks
[23:19] <mnemonica> Jordan_U: Broadcom 43XX
[23:19] <travisat> mnemonica: find the windows driver for your wireless card
[23:19] <mnemonica> Jack_Sparrow: Yeah.
[23:20] <Jack_Sparrow> mnemonica: I run a couple of those
[23:20] <mnemonica> Jack_Sparrow: ndis
[23:20] <Jordan_U> mnemonica, I need to know the "XX" specifically
[23:20] <Jack_Sparrow> mnemonica: All you need is fwcutter
[23:20] <Dr_Willis> Broadcom is getting where it has a lot of chipsets.
[23:20] <mnemonica> Jordan_U: What's the terminal command to find out again...? I've used it before but I can't remember it.
[23:20] <Jack_Sparrow> mnemonica: 43xx is all we need
[23:20] <Jordan_U> Jack_Sparrow, No, it's not
[23:20] <travisat> mnemonica: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[23:20] <Grab> hi how can i autorun a process when i boot up my linux ?
[23:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Jordan_U: It is all I need

[23:21] <ulaf> hey guys, i'm trying to resize my partition with gparted, but it says i have atleast 1 bad sector, so i did chkdsk and find out i have 4kb of bad sector , it won't fix it either.. so i want to format the disk, but i want to make a backup image of my ntfs partition.. any idea how to do that with the live cd?
[23:21] <Jordan_U> Jack_Sparrow, Then you don't know that not all bcm43xx chipsets are supported with the open source drivers
[23:21] <Grab> solatis im on a remote shell
[23:21] <ThinkingMan> ahh back home in linux
[23:21] <dm_edge> hi everyone, after first reboot my network adapter doesn't get IP by dhcp anymore, before rebooting I could connect to the internet though, is there a way to solve it?
[23:22] <macabro22> CAn I please get some help installing my audio device? I compiled an ALSA driver, but that failed! I needed to do that because my card isn't supported by the repo version
[23:22] <Jack_Sparrow> Jordan_U: I wanst looking to use the open source drivers, I was going to suggest the ones I have seen work on every 43xx so far  wl_apsta.o
[23:22] <macabro22> I've been trying to solve this all day
[23:22] <Grab> is there a way to autorun irssi on a remote limited shell ?
[23:22] <Jordan_U> Jack_Sparrow, With NDIS wrapper?
[23:22] <macabro22> I am clueless. Nothing works
[23:22] <Jack_Sparrow> Jordan_U: No....  like I said.. fwcutter
[23:23] <Jordan_U> Jack_Sparrow, Then you are using the open source drivers
[23:23] <Jordan_U> Jack_Sparrow, fwcutter provides firmware for the open source drivers to use
[23:23] <ulaf> how do i make a ntfs backup disk?
[23:23] <Jack_Sparrow> Jordan_U: Feel free to help him out...
[23:23] <mnemonica> Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54783/

[23:24] <mnemonica> Hey boys gotta leave asap... Thanks travisat
[23:24] <macabro22> please please please help me  fix my audio
[23:24] <soldats> macabro22: did it work at some point
[23:24] <Jordan_U> Jack_Sparrow, And I know what is listed as supported, not all chipsets work, no matter what your personal luck has shown
[23:25] <Jack_Sparrow> mnemonica: Lots of people to help you.. and a few opinions...
[23:25] <usmc138> im a complete newb to linux and i know this is a stupid question but when you install software from a tar file do those files automattically get installed in a predetermined directory or do you have to keep the unpacked folder?
[23:25] <bazz> is it possible to use a digital camera connected by usb as a webcam?  if so, any pointers to a how-to or the like?
[23:25] <ThinkingMan> unop_: hey I'm back, when I run your command I get a > prompt
[23:25] <gnu> ohh, oke, ive put that other monitor in, and it worked good, the restricted drivers message popped up, so i installed it, and what ive got? flickering screen afterreboot. Oke so i try ctrl+alt+f1 at splash screen, then i enter "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" and it does not help :( or is there some other way to solve it with nvidia drivers?
[23:26] <macabro22> soldats: audio was fine, except for audio input. So I had to install the new drivers and something broke
[23:26] <macabro22> Soldats can you help me with that?
[23:26] <travisat> mnemonica: you still there?
[23:26] <soldats> usmc138: after you install/compile from a tar file the app is installed to a predetermined dir. you may then remove the package if you wish but make sure you verify that the app is installed
[23:26] <ulaf> is there something like ntfsrescue?
[23:26] <Jordan_U> mnemonica, I think that restricted manager should have provided you with the correct firmware for that card, did it offer anything?

[23:33] <excitatory> So, I have an ATI card, using the restricted fglrx driver, with XGL/CF.  For some reason, my xkb settings are defaulting to the pc101 configuration when xgl starts.  I have attempted to manually set the xkb options to pc105, via the xorg.conf and the CLI, but neither work.  I can paste the output of the error when I try to set it manually if you would like. Does anyone know how I can alleviate this problem?

[23:36] <ubotu> Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT.
[23:36] <Dr_Willis> ulaf,  never used them bit saw them mentioned in a magazine artical just today
[23:37] <ulaf> lol
[23:37] <unop__> ulaf, you probably also want to prefix that with sudo
[23:37] <Dr_Willis> !find ntfsbackup

[23:37] <pacoman> does anybody know how can i get to the spanish ubuntu chats??
[23:37] <ubotu> Package/file ntfsbackup does not exist in gutsy
[23:37] <PriceChild> pacoman, /join #ubuntu-es
[23:37] <ulaf> unop__: i'm on a windows OS, can't do tar cjvf
[23:37] <nobody_> use window cause the space is betta
[23:37] <unop__> giggles, that's usually because you didn't shut windows down properly
[23:37] <pacoman> ok
[23:37] <reZo> is there a way to remove the shadow under the taskbar in gusty / gnome when you have compiz full features enabled?
[23:37] <pacoman> thanks
[23:38] <giggles> unop_  you're spot on (stupid me).  How do I fix?
[23:38] <unop__> ulaf, you can use ntbackup.exe then :) more on that in ##windows or start->help->ntbackup
[23:38] <soldats> macabro22: hey ask your question again but do it in full detail. i really have no clue other than making sure alsa is selected and make sure all the volumes arent muted. if nothing else it may be better to go back to the older driver

[23:39] <__mikem> What the crap was that
[23:39] <soldats> spam
[23:39] <PriceChild> !feedthetroll
[23:39] <Flare183> stupid spamers
[23:39] <ubotu> The above mess was caused by someone who thought it was funny (they're gone now). Please ignore it completely, since discussing it and making a fuss will only make them think they've reached their "fun" goal.
[23:39] <unop__> giggles, best thing (IMHO) is bootback up into windows and shut it down again -- but you can also use ntfsfix from the package ntfsprogs
[23:39] <Moptop650> >.>
[23:39] <FloodBot1> NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.
[23:40] <Stepdir> How do I tell what kind of filesystem I have ie ext2,ext3
[23:40] <nobody_> any hummans?
[23:40] <unop__> Stepdir,  file -s /dev/sdXX
[23:40] <fatejudger> I've been expriencing some unusually long load times to gdm recently (i.e. greater than 5 minutes), does anyone know what might be the cause?
[23:41] <nobody_> sorr this is A.I. channel ha¬ha
[23:41] <nobody_> enjoy
[23:41] <giggles> unop_  I can't access Windows (Vista): will not boot.  How do I run ntfsfix?  I think I have the package installed but need to be pointed in the right direction.
[23:42] <Stepdir> unop_ I get - no such file or directory
[23:42] <fantum13> I compiled a few packages that commonly cause bottlenecks on my system with apt-build, and now update manager wants to erase them all. How can I stop this?
[23:42] <unop__> giggles, you need to know which device the windows partition is e.g. /dev/sdXX  -- sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdXX
[23:42] <Aquahallic> OK.. so I'm goin' nuts... I've seen it before but I can't for the LIFE of me find where I turn off the drive icons on my desktop... like it showing sda1 and what's in the cdrom.... anyone remember where this is at???
[23:42] <unop__> Stepdir, replace sdXX there with your own device  :)
[23:43] <unop__> Stepdir, you can also use this command (albeit a little unreliable)  - sudo fdisk -l
[23:43] <LjL> !pinning > fantum13    (fantum13, see the private message from Ubotu)
[23:43] <giggles> unop_ ok, let me give that a go.  watch this space.
[23:43] <panfist> hey how come i dont have a linux-image for k7 or better processors in synaptic
[23:43] <neeto> I need to enable NAT on my desktop... how would I do this?

[23:43] <Slart> !smp | panfist
[23:43] <ubotu> panfist: Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed)
[23:43] <Dr_Willis> !nat
[23:43] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nat - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[23:44] <fantum13> LjL: I've read that page, the instructions on it are deprecated and the links are old also
[23:44] <PriceChild> panfist, optimisations are loaded on the fly, its just as good.
[23:44] <panfist> thanks
[23:45] <macabro22> soldats: hang on.. it seems i compiled the wrong driver
[23:45] <fantum13> LjL: Even after setting up the preferences file here (http://pastebin.com/m2c4774d0) update manager still wants to "update" them.
[23:46] <giggles> unop_ I ran the ntfsfix and it says the partition was performed successfully.  How do I check?
[23:47] <Stepdir> unop__ I get  Linux rev 1.0 ext3 filesystem data (needs journal recovery) - What is the needs journal recovery about?
[23:47] <unop__> giggles, you can try mounting the device -- sudo mount /dev/sdXX /media/ntfs
[23:47] <fantum13> LjL: Also, no matter what I do, the output of apt-cache policy remains the same.
[23:48] <unop__> Stepdir, it usually means the ext3 journal is corrupt and needs repairing
[23:49] <SodaPhish> well, that DCC crap was a bit of an arsing.
[23:50] <Grab> how can i know what's the default text reader on my box ?
[23:50] <travisat> Grab: its probably gedit
[23:51] <unop__> Stepdir, i dont have an ext3 filesystem to test this on - but this command should probably do the trick - sudo tune2fs -f -j /dev/sdXX
[23:51] <jfleming> i'm trying to upgrade to 7.10 from 7.04 and after update manager downloads the update tool it begins preparing the upgrade and then it just disappears
[23:51] <mscott> / test
[23:51] <jfleming> anyone have any idea why?
[23:51] <Randomist> How do I get SquashFS working?  I'm trying to make a custom Live CD, but when I try to mount the SquashFS image, it tells me "mount: unknown filesystem type 'squashfs'"
[23:51] <exneo> hey anybody know of a good racing game for ubuntu with an oline mode and need for speed ish freeride
[23:51] <exneo> noncomercial gpl
[23:52] <exneo> anybody?
[23:52] <giggles> unop_ I get a "failed to access mountpoint...: no such file or directory exists, FUSE mount point creation failed. Unmounting /dev/sda2 (SW_Preload).  I have ntfs Configuration Tool if you think that should help?
[23:52] <unop__> !games | exneo

[23:52] <adante> ubuntu update is asking me to install a bunch of kernel headers/image related stuff - this will not replace my existing kernel/config will it (ie, it can sit next to it)?
[23:52] <Harlan[laptop]> i'm having problems gettin my Linksys WPC11 PCMCIA card working in ubuntu
[23:52] <exneo> !games
[23:52] <Randomist> I tried loading the module, but it says there isn't one, and when I look under 'File Systems' in the kernel configurator, I can't find anything about SqushFS.
[23:52] <exneo> join/<games>
[23:52] <C1P8> when i try to run some games in fullscreen the monitor says "not signal detected" how to solve?
[23:53] <unop__> giggles, errm -- sorry, /media/ntfs needs to be created first - try this command -  sudo sh -c "mkdir -p /media/ntfs; mount /dev/sda2 /media/ntfs"
[23:53] <jfleming> or does anyone know where else i could ask about this?
[23:53] <broken__> Hey guys I have an issue all my movie players aren't displaying video as they should, its all laggy .. and it didn't used to be like this.
[23:53] <broken__> Could I be missing some codec or?
[23:53] <LjL> fantum13: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/42178
[23:54] <citm> how do i edit grub?
[23:54] <fantum13> LjL: Why would apt-cache policy not show the changed priorities, though?
[23:54] <citm> !grub
[23:54] <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
[23:55] <LjL> fantum13: not a clue
[23:55] <Stepdir> unop__ It say it already has a journal. I'm guessing that it is not a problem. I was asking because I just compiled a kernel, and it said it could not mount the filesystem.
[23:55] <dxdt> Does anyone happen to know how to make Alt+Space work for Katapult in Gnome?    I wish that it did things my way for once.  I set the shortcut right in Katapult, but gnome must have it claimed elsewhere because it still does something silly like bring up a menu when I press it :(
[23:55] <citm> grubs showing vista twice, one is from the restore partition and loads up with a big fat error
[23:55] <unop__> Stepdir, if you just compiled a kernel, it's likely that you didn't include ext3 support
[23:55] <Jack_Sparrow> broken__: If running ati and compisite is not set to disable in xorg, you get jerky video
[23:56] <Tiikeri^> ello
[23:56] <broken__> Jack_Sparrow, yea jerky is exactly how I'd describe it.
[23:56] <unop__> Stepdir, although, it's hard to say what the problem is without a full error report
[23:56] <giggles> unop_ I get "mount failed:  device or resource busy".
[23:56] <Jack_Sparrow> broken__: Are you running ati card
[23:56] <broken__> Jack_Sparrow, so what must I do? Yes ati.
[23:56] <ere4si> citm: in a terminal type   sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst    and comment out the wrong vista
[23:56] <Tiikeri^> anyone have 6715s ?
[23:57] <Jack_Sparrow> broken__: Look at your xorg  option " composite  make sure it is set to disable
[23:57] <unop__> giggles, hmm, perhaps the device is already mounted -- check to see, in nautilus - Go -> Computer
[23:57] <excitatory> argh, whenever a kernel is updated, it always sets my grub config to boot from (hd1,0) and not (hd0,0) like it should be.. (i can manually fix it, but i have to do this after every kernel update..)
[23:57] <Stepdir> unop__ I checked that. It is compiled in. :( I'm at a loss. There was not much. Just that on boot. didn't make it very far.
[23:57] <Jack_Sparrow> broken__: Cant guarantee that is the problem, but that is one fix I know about
[23:57] <Rufus_> is compiz-fusion in any ubuntu repository?
[23:57] <broken__> Jack_Sparrow, well I have "Section Extensions " Option "Compostite" "0"
[23:58] <travisat> excitatory: in your /boot/grub/menu.lst at the top you should have a list of # options you need to read down and there should be a place to change the auto config root
[23:58] <giggles> unop_OK, but what's nautilus?  (do I need to download it?)
[23:58] <panfist> what is the command to show what is currently mounted?
[23:58] <travisat> excitatory: among other things
[23:58] <WeedGrinch> Hello everyone
[23:58] <Jordan_U> Rufus_, Yes, in fact parts of it are installed by default in 7.10
[23:58] <Jack_Sparrow> broken__: set it to     Option "Composite" "disable"
[23:58] <unop__> giggles, nautilus is your file explorer in gnome :)
[23:58] <unop__> panfist, mount
[23:58] <Rufus_> Jordan_U, i want to update to the latest version
[23:59] <Tiikeri^> If using 6715s; "Install from 64 bit version of Ubuntu Gutsy, even if you have 32 bit Sempron version, 32 bit Ubuntus do not work on this one." Anyone here that can confirm that ?
[23:59] <WeedGrinch> Anyone want a free blog, for there ubuntu stuff? or anything?
[23:59] <Stepdir> unop__ I was trying to compile a non initrd kernel. I may be related to that.
[23:59] <broken__> Jack_Sparrow, now just exit the xserver and log back in?
[23:59] <Rufus_> what is it under?
[23:59] <Rufus_> compiz-kde?
[23:59] <unop__> Stepdir, it's also probable that ext2 support was included but not ext3 -- could explain the journalling issues
[23:59] <Jack_Sparrow> broken__: Yes, I think you need to restart to reset things..
[23:59] <broken__> Very well, I"ll be back.
