[02:46] <apokryphos> nathanj: which is handled by the window manager, as I said. Not running gnome so can't check for sure, but perhaps try clicking the icon on the very top-left of the window (normally  next to File, Edit etc)
[02:46] <onkarshinde> overrider: I found Blam good for RSS. Don't know about podcasts.
[02:46] <nathanj> apokryphos: i got the terminal up and running but i cant position it correctly for some reason i set the geomotery but i doesnt comply
[02:47] <Hexidigital> bb1013, i dont know... i would suggest partition magic or something... maybe that would help you
[02:47] <nathanj> is there a key combo to move windows?
[02:47] <bb1013> Ok, tried running chkdsk /F, but it doesn't detect the extra space
[02:47] <Hexidigital> alt+f7
[02:47] <onkarshinde> nathanj: I guess Alt+F7
[02:48] <LinuxNoob> sfar,
[02:48] <nathanj> onkarshinde: problem is xwininfo seems to be reporting wrong location.
[02:48] <bb1013> I thought winxp would be happy on 1.6GB, but nooo - it has to have more and more...
[02:48] <LinuxNoob> sfari,: read private msg
[02:49] <sfari> LinuxNoob, i did not get any :) You cant send private messages unless you are registered
[02:49] <Hexidigital> bb1013, windows is never happy
[02:49] <LadyNikon> heh
[02:49] <sfari> if its 3 lines or less, paste here.. more than 3 lines use pastebin (!paste)
[02:49] <kleinlappies> hi
[02:50] <Hexidigital> bb1013, windows Vista minimum requirements for full "thrill" is a 256MB video card AGP8x (so i read)
[02:50] <bb1013> shouldn't have installed it. Had win98 until most games wanted 2000 or xp - like Oblivion and thief3
[02:50] <bb1013> dual booting ubuntu/win98
[02:50] <LinuxNoob> !paste
[02:50] <ubotu> Don't flood the channel! Please use the pastebin at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ or the channel #flood to paste large amount of text.
[02:50] <kleinlappies> i have this old computer with ubuntu and kde on it it has 256mb of ram in it, is this ok or not?
[02:51] <Hexidigital> kleinlappies... should be fine... what are you using it for?
[02:51] <LinuxNoob> sfari: its pasted
[02:52] <LinuxNoob> sfari,  I get it when using: sudo tar -C /opt -x -z -v -f firefox-<IP_ADDRESS>.tar.gz
[02:52] <kleinlappies> man i want to make it my multimedia pc at home of checking my movies on my pc and for listening to my music.
[02:53] <zaibiechu> is there a word recognize soft under linux
[02:53] <onkarshinde> kleinlappies: 256 MB RAM is fine.
[02:53] <sfari> LinuxNoob: url? :)
[02:53] <useruser> kleinlappies: you want ot make sure you have a reasonable and supported video card, though
[02:54] <kleinlappies> thanks guys
[02:54] <kleinlappies> well i have a geforce 9800 128mb card
[02:54] <IdleOne> !tell LinuxNoob about ff1.5
[02:54] <useruser> zaibiechu: you mean a program that can open MS Word files? Openoffice.
[02:54] <bb1013> Ok, got something. Enlargement of ntfs partitions has to be done in two steps. cfdisk + ntfsresize should do the trick. Thanks for the advice.
[02:55] <sfari> LinuxNoob, paste it in #flood .. i'll go there now
[02:55] <Hexidigital> bb1013, let us know how it works
[02:55] <LinuxNoob> sfari: I made it work
[02:55] <sfari> \o/ :)
[02:55] <LinuxNoob> tnx anyway
[02:55] <zaibiechu> useruser, no from jpeg to txt
[02:55] <mirsh> i want to use a directory on one of my extra harddrives as /home. i've mounted /dev/hdd to /mnt/hdd - how can i use /mnt/hdd/home as /home?

[02:55] <Hexidigital> jpeg to txt?
[02:56] <useruser> zaibiechu: ah. you could try gocr
[02:56] <Frogzoo> mirsh: just mount it on /home
[02:56] <zaibiechu> useruser, does that support chinese
[02:56] <useruser> zaibiechu: no idea.
[02:57] <kleinlappies> useruser i put on the nvidia drivers and it works now i just need to do the tv-out thing. is i a mission or is i quite easy?
[02:57] <useruser> kleinlappies: should be easy, i think
[02:57] <useruser> kleinlappies: i don't know how to do it, though :)
[02:57] <kleinlappies> useruser thanks will go and look around ;)
[02:58] <mirsh> Frogzoo: yea, but i cant mount /mnt/hdd/home - "mount: /mnt/hdd/home is not a block device"
[02:58] <Fassa> hello?
[02:58] <ifr> Hello
[02:59] <zaibiechu> useruser, is there a gui soft for ocr?
[02:59] <onkarshinde> mirsh: Instead of mounting /mnt/hdd/home to /home, directly mount that device to your /home
[02:59] <ifr> Prolly a good idea to state your problem and ask a question, Fassa
[02:59] <LinuxNoob> Well did the FirefoxNewVersion tutorial now without getting error messages.... but doesnt install the 1.5... I give up... tnx anyway guys

[03:00] <useruser> Fassa: you mean to create regular dvds that can be played in a dvd player?
[03:00] <nathanj> ifr: like make it look like the text is just on your desktop so it cant move, eg for running a irssi session or reading logs
[03:00] <Fassa> yes useruser
[03:01] <LinuxNoob> _jason,  *doh* why doesnt it start as default browser?
[03:01] <_jason> LinuxNoob: ok now type 'which firefox'
[03:01] <ifr> Oh, I see nathanj. That would be cool, almost like setting the terminal as the background to the screen?
[03:01] <nathanj> ifr: yeah :)

[03:01] <HelpMePlease> some guy give me some link

[03:04] <onkarshinde> Fassa: dvdauthor will make DVD ISO from mpeg2 stream. Not sure if it will work with .avi
[03:04] <Cubies> Fills up your disk?
[03:04] <NicePics> Yes! ntfsresize enlarged the file system to the full partition size. It worked perfectly.
[03:04] <Cubies> Get a bigger disk.
[03:04] <Fassa> useruser: ok thanks for the help anyway it is appreciated
[03:04] <useruser> Fassa: ah, ok. and you can convert .avi to mpeg2 with mencoder

[03:43] <smartass> (Beginner of Linux)
[03:43] <_jason> smartass: you should use synaptic to install things
[03:44] <_jason> ubotu: tell smartass about synaptic
[03:44] <gnomefreak> geargolem: ok heres you choices you can either reinstall breezy or you can upgrade to dapper what one would you like to do (mind you dapper is still in aplha stages and may break)
[03:44] <geargolem> upgrade
[03:44] <smartass> synaptic?
[03:44] <sfari> system -> administration -> synaptic
[03:44] <smartass> thanks
[03:45] <gnomefreak> ok geargolem the link that follows the second one i need you to follow that ok
[03:45] <sfari> (its like apt-get with a gui :)
[03:45] <gnomefreak> !upgrade
[03:45] <ubotu> Upgrading to Ubuntu 5.10 breezy -> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade.  Upgrading to dapper (remember it may break). Please test the dist-upgrader -> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-January/014700.html.
[03:45] <IronBlood> how can i configure my sound settings
[03:46] <gnomefreak> geargolem: im also gonna suggest removing all breezy repos and just keep dapper ones if you have all the dapper repos
[03:46] <geargolem> gnomefreak: ok i will when I upgrade.  How do I follow the link without a display?
[03:46] <gnomefreak> geargolem: you have no X thats right :(
[03:47] <geargolem> gnomefreak: yea
[03:47] <sfari> apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade
[03:47] <gnomefreak> ok heres what we can do
[03:47] <gen> hello
[03:47] <sfari> hello gen
[03:47] <nsmith> ok thanks I will see how this works
[03:47] <gnomefreak> open you /etc/apt/sources.list and make sure all you have in there is the dapper repos
[03:48] <kleinlappies> can anyone tell me how to play 2 sounds at once?
[03:48] <geargolem> gnomefreak: ok
[03:48] <gnomefreak> geargolem: let me know when your done
[03:48] <sfari> ubotu, tell kleinlappies about sound
[03:48] <geargolem> gnomefreak: will do immediately.  Thankyou
[03:48] <gnomefreak> yw
[03:48] <kleinlappies> sfari thanks
[03:49] <sfari> i think it is mentioned in one of those pages :)
[03:49] <gnomefreak> kleinlappies: i think you have to use esd for multi sounds
[03:50] <lilon>
[03:50] <gnomefreak> whois lilon
[03:50] <gnomefreak> lilon: do you speak english?
[03:51] <geargolem> gnomefreak: I can't gedit sources.list without display
[03:51] <gnomefreak> geargolem: your right you dont have gnome you need to use nano
[03:51] <overrider> lilon nu hui shuo ying wen ma?
[03:51] <A10n> hey guys
[03:51] <A10n> for some reason my /var/apt/lists are dissapearing
[03:51] <geargolem> gnomefreak: ok, is it safe to assume it works like gedit?
[03:51] <smartass> How do I make the microphone work? I have plugged in the mic into the right "hole" and cheked the soundoptions but still it dosnt work
[03:51] <gnomefreak> geargolem: not really
[03:52] <geargolem> gnomefreak: I'll man page it
[03:52] <A10n> any one know any reason why the lists in /var/apt/lists are getting deleted on a daily bases? security issue ?
[03:52] <geargolem> brb
[03:52] <arrick> Is there a way to access all the messages you have given in this chat room in like the last 4 days?
[03:52] <gnomefreak> geargolem: it will open as gedit would but you need to use the commands at bottom to write ir (save it) and exit i think ctrl+w will save it and ctrl+x will exit it
[03:52] <zoexii> hello, I need to put a date stamp in a filename within a shell script.  how do I do this?
[03:52] <londonboi2k3> Hi everyone, since we moved our pcs at work over to ubuntu, I was now woundring if there was a pice of GPL software that would allow me to create my staff rotas on that could be web/intranet based, have searched but can seem to only find windows stuff, Any Ideas??
[03:53] <Han> hi, I got this message while installing packages: perl: Depends: perl-base (= 5.8.7-5ubuntu1) but 5.8.7-5ubuntu1.2 is to be installed; is this a temporary error?
[03:53] <arrick> A10n, they get deleted cause they are variables
[03:53] <zoexii> gnomefreak, contol o is save
[03:53] <gnomefreak> zoexii: ty
[03:53] <A10n> arrick, my apt-lists are variables?
[03:53] <gnomefreak> many vim is ctrl+w?
[03:53] <gnomefreak> maybe*
[03:53] <LinuxJones> londonboi2k3: what is a rotas ?
[03:53] <gen> arrick : have you activated the log in the preferences ?
[03:53] <A10n> i thought they stay on my puter and i just keep up updating them with apt-get update
[03:54] <arrick> /var/apt/lists is a variable folder
[03:54] <arrick> hence the var
[03:54] <londonboi2k3> LinuxJones its a rota is what you use to set shifts for staff, so everyone knows what time they start work and finish work
[03:54] <arrick> nope
[03:54] <A10n> arrick, i dont know what that means, so everythign is temporary?
[03:54] <arrick> how
[03:54] <arrick> yeah
[03:55] <A10n> i see...
[03:55] <sfari> what would you prefer in a AMD 750MHZ... 256*133mhz ram, or 512*100mhz ram?
[03:55] <LinuxJones> londonboi2k3: oh, you could use openoffice to create a database and have users open the file from a network share. Let me find you an example.
[03:55] <zoexii> Hello, I need to know how to put a date stamp in a filename!
[03:55] <arrick> 133 anll the way
[03:56] <kleinlappies> gnomefreak and if i run kde on ubuntu?
[03:56] <arrick> sfari, The 133 is the speed of the frontside BUS, which is the bottleneck no matter how much ram you have
[03:57] <gnomefreak> kleinlappies: you can run kde on ubuntu if you like
[03:57] <arrick> sfari, you have to check to see which ic compatible with your motherboard and processor as well, or you might not even get a boot
[03:58] <kleinlappies> gnomefreak am i then using kdearts or must i still use esd
[03:58] <nathanj> how do i put a trash icon on my desktop
[03:58] <_jason> !desktoptrash
[03:58] <ubotu> desktoptrash is, like, applications menu-> system tools-> configuration editor: /apps/nautilus/desktop/trash_icon_visible
[03:58] <gnomefreak> kleinlappies: that i dont know
[03:58] <nathanj> _jason: ta

[04:00] <Frogzoo> suggestions for how to view a .chm file? (windows help file format)
[04:00] <Narada> What version of PHP latest does the ubuntu tree have?
[04:01] <gen> zoexii, look around the var "  $(date)   "  to do that in bash scripting.
[04:01] <_jason> !info php5
[04:01] <ubotu> php5: (server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (meta-package)), section web, is optional. Version: 5.0.5-2ubuntu1 (breezy), Packaged size: 1 kB, Installed size: 20 kB
[04:01] <sethk> geniusvicks, they are only rewritable as a unit.  You have to copy the files to disk,  add your files, and thenwrite the new image
[04:01] <geniusvicks> Ic
[04:01] <Narada> lol ubotu
[04:01] <Narada> good one
[04:01] <geargolem> gnomefreak: successfully updated 'sources.list'
[04:01] <sethk> geniusvicks, there is another spec that allows something more like what you are asking, but it's  much better to do it the normal way
[04:01] <Frogzoo> !tell Narada about ubotu
[04:02] <geniusvicks> sethk: Thank you
[04:02] <gnomefreak> geargolem: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

[04:13] <th0rndike> hi ppl :p
[04:13] <geniusvicks> I keep getting errors
[04:13] <chamo> geniusvicks, use chown
[04:13] <th0rndike> or UID
[04:14] <nathanj> chamo: probably can manually edit a text file give me a sec
[04:14] <LinuxJones> geniusvicks: you mean all files on the partition ?
[04:14] <nickrud> geniusvicks, what partition type is geniusvicks
[04:14] <gridblock> hey
[04:14] <Frogzoo> geniusvicks: sudo chown
[04:14] <nickrud> gergle, geniusvicks ntfs or what :)
[04:15] <th0rndike> guys im programming some concurrent thing in java... however when i compile it says it doesnt have java.util.concurrent.Locks... any package i need to install?
[04:15] <axisys> is there an irc chnl where i can get some help on linux printing?
[04:16] <nathanj> where are keyboard shortcuts stored?
[04:16] <arrick> !printing
[04:16] <ubotu> from memory, printing is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters or http://www.linuxprinting.org
[04:16] <axisys> i did not find minolta 350 driver anywhere
[04:16] <axisys> arrick: that site did not have the driver
[04:16] <geniusvicks> the partition is vfat
[04:16] <arrick> axisys, are you running ubuntu?
[04:16] <axisys> arrick: yeap
[04:16] <arrick> which printer?
[04:16] <geniusvicks> changing group of `/media/hda5': Operation not permitted
[04:16] <axisys> minolta 350/250/200
[04:16] <geniusvicks> this is what I get
[04:16] <nickrud> geniusvicks, then you need to edit the /etc/fstab (file system table)
[04:16] <arrick> hang on
[04:17] <geniusvicks> i c
[04:17] <th0rndike> geniusvicks,  try on console echo $UID
[04:17] <Cubies> I've partitioned my master IDE harddrive into two partitions, 20GB each. How do I format the second partition to ext3 so that I can install Ubuntu and duel boot?
[04:17] <th0rndike> see ur id
[04:17] <nickrud> geniusvicks, if you'll put yours on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[04:17] <LinuxJones> axisys: I usually pick the driver that's closes to the model printer I'm trying to setup. It works most of the time.
[04:17] <th0rndike> then edit fstab with UID=(ur id)
[04:17] <axisys> LinuxJones: could not find anything close to minolta 350/250/200
[04:18] <LinuxJones> axisys: do you know if your printer does postcript ?
[04:18] <axisys> LinuxJones: it does
[04:18] <vook> Cubies, the Ubuntu installer will take care of the format and the dual booting.
[04:18] <Cubies> I want to format the second partition to ext3.
[04:18] <th0rndike> no one knows what im asking?
[04:18] <RMeist> ehr
[04:19] <Cubies> It says it will format and lose all data on the partitions for the IDE harddrive.
[04:19] <Cubies> I'm worried it will format Windiws.
[04:19] <Cubies> Windows.
[04:19] <geniusvicks> nickrud I pasted it
[04:19] <MrCollins> hey guys
[04:20] <arrick> hey Cubies it will autoatically format the drive if you let it
[04:20] <MrCollins> got a question.... I installed ubuntu base, for an ftp server box....
[04:20] <vook> Cubies, if you have two partitions, only select the second.  If windows is on hda1 (assumably), do not install there.  Only allow Ubuntu to install to hda2 or something other than hda1
[04:20] <arrick> axisys, even google doesn't help for that printer
[04:20] <MrCollins> I cant do anything.... apt get... sudo....
[04:20] <axisys> arrick: question or fact?
[04:20] <MrCollins> I cant even login as root..
[04:20] <arrick> fact
[04:20] <Cubies> It's a bit confusing cos I have two IDE harddrives, the first one is partitioned into two 20GB partitions.
[04:20] <arrick> I just performed it
[04:20] <axisys> arrick: yeap :-(
[04:21] <Cubies> One for Windows, the other for Ubuntu.
[04:21] <arrick> Google has only four option with the printer listed
[04:21] <MrCollins> how do I give my user access to apt-get and such.... like a terminal version or IRC
[04:21] <axisys> arrick: hehe
[04:21] <th0rndike> any channel i can ask about java programming?
[04:21] <twager> Hi ?
[04:21] <MrCollins> I installed Breezy Badger
[04:21] <axisys> http://www.linuxprinting.org/printer_list.cgi?make=Minolta this one has couple .. may be i can do trial and error
[04:21] <arrick> cubies hang on
[04:21] <Cubies> Thankies.
[04:22] <vook> Cubies, the second drive will be something like hdb hdc or hdd (depending on what your cd-rom drive is)
[04:22] <nickrud> geniusvicks, change that to read  .... defaults,uid=1000   (or replace 1000 with the results of  echo $UID if it's different)
[04:22] <Cubies> I have C: D: G:
[04:22] <geniusvicks> I want to change the group to 100
[04:22] <Ignoramus> ignoramus
[04:22] <geniusvicks> nickrud I want to change the group to 100
[04:22] <Cubies> C: = 20GB Partition, D: Slave IDE, G: = 20GB Partition
[04:22] <arrick> !dualboot
[04:22] <ubotu> from memory, dualboot is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WindowsDualBootHowTo
[04:23] <Cubies> !partitioning
[04:23] <ubotu> rumour has it, partitioning is best done using gparted, gparted, or fdisk. You must unmount a disk before it can be partitioned. Use the LiveCD for this.
[04:23] <arrick> Cubies, i followed the wiki to the t and everything went thhrough fine yeserday morning
[04:23] <Cubies> !wiki
[04:23] <arrick> !dualboot
[04:23] <ubotu> well, dualboot is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WindowsDualBootHowTo
[04:23] <nickrud> geniusvicks, you can give it any uid you want, (100 on my machine is cups)
[04:23] <vook> Cubies, D: = /dev/hdb1, G: = /dev/hdb2 (probably)
[04:23] <Cubies> Thanks.
[04:23] <arrick> Cubies, follow the dualboot page
[04:23] <arrick> ok
[04:23] <th0rndike> aawwww i get no attention :(
[04:24] <arrick> np :) I had to sk too
[04:24] <arrick> ask
[04:24] <geniusvicks> I have two users
[04:24] <MrCollins> hey th0rndike you just wait I asked...
[04:24] <_jason> th0rndike: #java
[04:24] <geniusvicks> They belong to group "users" number is 100 is the the same
[04:24] <vook> Cubies, if you already have the partitioning taken care of, Ubuntu will automagically set up dual booting.
[04:24] <geniusvicks> command
[04:25] <arrick> th0rndike, go to #Java
[04:25] <Cubies> It's the partitioning I'm having problems with.
[04:25] <MrCollins> did you guys see my question? just wondering..
[04:25] <nickrud> geniusvicks, then you want something a bit different: rw,auto,fmask=0117,dmask=0007,gid=1002
[04:25] <Cubies> I want it to change G: from NTFS to EXT3.
[04:25] <Healot> or to the Sun (Microsystem)
[04:25] <arrick> th0rndike, even ##Java
[04:25] <Cubies> Then I can install Ubuntu to G: and duelboot.
[04:25] <nickrud> geniusvicks, or a variation on that (replace 1002) with 100
[04:26] <geniusvicks> thanks
[04:26] <th0rndike> lol thx :(
[04:26] <arrick> Cubies, you should be able to tell it to do that once you get to the manual change partitions part
[04:26] <Healot> Cubies: duel with me :)
[04:26] <arrick> dualboot Cubies
[04:26] <arrick> not duel
[04:26] <geniusvicks> nickrud, should I replace the defaults with what you gave or append it with a comma to defaults
[04:26] <Hexidigital> cubies was challenged to a duel boot
[04:26] <arrick> hahah
[04:26] <vook> Cubies, in that case, just delete g:, you don't need to change anything.  You don't need to format anything prior to an install.  The install takes care of the formatting.
[04:27] <arrick> yep
[04:27] <nickrud> geniusvicks, that's one I'm using on a vfat, and i replaced defaults with that
[04:27] <Cubies> I'm going to delete the partitions that Ubuntu has created when I was messing about. Then I'll manuelly partition the G: Drive to EXT3 then install Ubuntu to G: drive???
[04:27] <geniusvicks> thanks
[04:27] <arrick> hey cu
[04:27] <Cubies> That's a good idea.
[04:27] <gabbah> I installed a HTML editor program, and now if I click links in my chat program they open in that new program instead of in a browser... how do I change that?
[04:27] <kleinlappies> hi
[04:27] <th0rndike> i need to register my stupid nick to enter java... whats the server?
[04:27] <th0rndike> nickserv?
[04:27] <Cubies> Have a 20GB NTFS partition on a 40GB harddrive and allow Ubuntu to create the other 20GB itselt.
[04:28] <arrick> hey Cubies leav the part you want to be ubuntu unpartitioned and then tell ubuntu to load into the free space, and it wil lpartition it for you
[04:28] <Cubies> itself.
[04:28] <Hexidigital> th0rndike, yes
[04:28] <vook> Cubies, exactly
[04:28] <nickrud> gabbah, find an html file on your system, right click it and select properties. the open with tab will let you select the default program
[04:28] <Cubies> Good thinking.
[04:28] <arrick> !NickServ
[04:28] <ubotu> Did you get hit by a windmill? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, arrick
[04:28] <nickrud> !register
[04:28] <ubotu> Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[04:28] <arrick> yeah that too
[04:28] <kleinlappies> can i make x-chat stay running while i do an logoff and logon
[04:28] <Cubies> Only get windmills in Holland.
[04:28] <Cubies> To make cheese.
[04:28] <Cubies> And clogs.
[04:29] <arrick> yeha
[04:29] <twager> What do Ubuntu users use instead of Azureus ?
[04:29] <Cubies> Bittorront?
[04:29] <ragunath> i am having problems with PATH , is there a file to check it
[04:29] <twager> Command line ?
[04:29] <Cubies> I can't seem to use '/' in Linux filenaming.
[04:29] <nickrud> kleinlappies, xchat quits when gnome quits. Just the way it works.
[04:29] <Healot> gnome-bittorrent is sufficient enough
[04:29] <Cubies> I understand why.
[04:29] <Cubies> Shame it's the only character I can't use.
[04:29] <LinuxJones> gabbah: check system >> preferences >> prefered applications
[04:29] <kleinlappies> shoot
[04:29] <Healot> Cubies it's the mother of UNIX based file system
[04:29] <vook> ragunath, just type "set" with nothing else to view, to change you use the "export" command
[04:29] <blekos> hello again :)
[04:30] <kleinlappies> are there any cmd line ones
[04:30] <Cubies> I wanted to name a folder http://
[04:30] <arrick> Cubies, try ./ in filenames
[04:30] <Healot> Imagine a tree
[04:30] <Cubies> I am a tree.
[04:30] <vook> ragunath, actually type 'echo $PATH"
[04:30] <blekos> ci've pluged a bluetooth dogle in an usb, how do i start this service?
[04:30] <variant> kleinlappies: irssi in screen
[04:30] <arrick> then grow leafs?
[04:30] <nickrud> kleinlappies, you could look into irssi
[04:30] <variant> kleinlappies: i have not disconnected from irc for weeks because im useing irssi remotely via ssh/screen
[04:30] <variant>  15:04:45 up 69 days, 15:29,  2 users,  load average: 0.01, 0.03, 0.00
[04:30] <Cubies> When I hear bluetooth I imagine someone with a blue tooth.
[04:30] <Hexidigital> cubies, or if you dont need / just.do.something.like.this
[04:31] <Cubies> Front tooth at that.
[04:31] <kleinlappies> thanks gonna check it out
[04:31] <blekos> lol
[04:31] <arrick> blekos, try rebooting with it plugged in the first time you use it, it''s plug n pray
[04:31] <blekos> i c, thnx :)
[04:31] <vook> ragunath, make changes to $PATH permanent in /etc/bash.bashrc or /home/username/.bashrc
[04:31] <nickrud> variant, that's almost disgusting, uptime on irc ;)
[04:31] <Cubies> I'm gonna have to change internet provider if I'm to use broadband on Linux.
[04:31] <Hexidigital> why?
[04:32] <Cubies> AOL don't support Linux. :P
[04:32] <Hexidigital> ah
[04:32] <arrick> ouch
[04:32] <Cubies> I could emulate AOL using WINE.
[04:32] <Cubies> XD
[04:32] <Hexidigital> what about there oscar.login.whatever server?
[04:32] <Hexidigital> yes
[04:32] <ragunath> thanks vook i will try it
[04:32] <GnarusLeo> Of all the things I have heard bad about (including freakin M$), AOL tops the list!
[04:32] <Cubies> brb
[04:33] <nickrud> Cubies, look at penggy
[04:33] <Healot> Microsoft is just good as any other companies even better I might say
[04:33] <vook> ragunath, to change path in bash.bashrc it'd be something like 'export PATH=$PATH:/this/is/the/additionalpath (otherwise you'll delete your old path as well, you just want to append to the existing one)
[04:34] <GnarusLeo> Healot, concerning business, I agreed .. concerning user policies, i really dont :)
[04:34] <Healot> well... what do you think I was talking about?
[04:34] <Healot> I worked with Microsoft...
[04:34] <GnarusLeo> beats me, I just made a point concerning companies spoken bad off ..
[04:35] <gabbah> LinuxJones, I did check where you said... but couldn't find how to change it back. i can set the preffered browser there and that's all.
[04:35] <arrick> me too,
[04:35] <molinero> Hi to all ubuntu users!
[04:35] <GnarusLeo> Healot, good for you .. guess the paycheck's kinda allright :)
[04:35] <th0rndike> anyone knows why i cant install java 1.5 on ubuntu?
[04:35] <nickrud>  gabbah, find an html file on your system, right click it and select properties. the open with tab will let you select the default program
[04:35] <aspro> bonjour tout le monde
[04:35] <Healot> yup, GnarusLeo :)
[04:35] <arrick> th0rndike, ##Jave
[04:36] <Frogzoo> !tell th0rndike about java
[04:36] <arrick> ##Java
[04:36] <GnarusLeo> !tell aspro about fr
[04:36] <th0rndike> lol
[04:36] <gabbah> nickrud, ah thanks.. that should work
[04:36] <nickrud> th0rndike, why not?
[04:36] <lamhamdi> coco
[04:36] <Frogzoo> th0rndike: just follow the instructions & install Sun's jre - very straightforward
[04:36] <th0rndike> it wont let me!
[04:36] <nickrud> (<Tab> means press the Tab Key) In the directory where you downloaded the sun jre, type sudo aptitude install java-package ; fakeroot make-jpkg jre<Tab> ; sudo dpkg -i sun<Tab>
[04:36] <Hexidigital> th0rndike, i got help with that same problem
[04:36] <arrick> ok later guys, gotto go to aninterview
[04:36] <Hexidigital> i went to the ##java channel
[04:36] <Frogzoo> th0rndike: yes it will, if you follow the instructions correctly
[04:36] <arrick> #java?
[04:37] <Hexidigital> arrick, to switch channels, type /join #channelname
[04:37] <LinuxJones> gabbah: just type in firefox32 %s
[04:38] <gabbah> LinuxJones, where?
[04:39] <redLAW> where can i download myth tv packages, beside apt-gett
[04:39] <redLAW> becuase i'm on 56k
[04:39] <gabbah> nickrud, html files where set to open with firefox... but if i click the link http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FaqOnIrc it still opens with bluefish :/
[04:39] <LinuxJones> gabbah: in >> preferences >> prefered applications >> webbrowser >> command
[04:39] <GnarusLeo> redLAW, then you probably would get the highest speed
[04:39] <GnarusLeo> at apt-get
[04:39] <gabbah> LinuxJones, ok
[04:39] <LinuxJones> gabbah: it should say bluefish in there now
[04:39] <redLAW> i want to install it manually
[04:40] <Healot> via HTTP... redLAW
[04:40] <redLAW> i need link
[04:40] <nickrud> gabbah, did you try changing as LinuxJones said (different place, not a file association)
[04:40] <GnarusLeo> redLAW, then just google it omg
[04:40] <gabbah> LinuxJones, it says irefox -remote "openurl(%s,new-tab)" there right now
[04:40] <Healot> even worse because you need to read/link the dependecies manually, redLAW
[04:40] <Healot> http://packages.ubuntu.com
[04:40] <LinuxJones> gabbah: I dunno what's up with that
[04:41] <deefzi> wicked, my panels just disappeared
[04:41] <gabbah> nickrud,  what filetype does http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FaqOnIrc return though?
[04:41] <nickrud> gabbah, one or the other should do what you're asking, I'm stumped also
[04:41] <LinuxNoob> _jason, guess what... I managed to install Thunderbird without nagging you c",)
[04:41] <gabbah> nickrud, or perhaps it's php?
[04:41] <_jason> LinuxNoob: cool
[04:42] <LostKat> Compiling after Synaptic? Help??
[04:42] <LinuxJones> gabbah: if that doesn't work right click a .html file (from somewhere on your computer) and selct firefox to open with and click the checkbox to remember this.
[04:42] <gabbah> LinuxJones, yep it's already set to firefox if i do that :/
[04:43] <LostKat> !compiling
[04:43] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilingSoftware
[04:44] <nickrud> gabbah, where are you clicking on this link you're opening?
[04:44] <th0rndike> !tell me about java
[04:44] <gabbah> nickrud, i found a html page on my HD
[04:44] <nickrud> noxo, the faqonirc one
[04:45] <gabbah> nickrud, oh you mean when i want it to open in FF? it's in Koversation, my chat client
[04:45] <nickrud> sorry noxo; gabbah look for an option in kde then :)
[04:45] <bSON> hi
[04:45] <jahshua> !themes
[04:45] <nickrud> gabbah, I don't run kde, but I think you can find it in kcontrol
[04:45] <gabbah> nickrud, in kde?
[04:46] <gabbah> nickrud, i run gnome
[04:46] <LinuxJones> gabbah: your running KDE ?
[04:46] <bSON> is there some way to get ubuntu dapper to eject mounted cd/dvd drives when pressing the eject button?
[04:46] <nickrud> gabbah, kde uses a different file association that gnome
[04:46] <LinuxJones> bSON: you have to right click the desktop cdrom icon and select eject
[04:46] <nickrud> gabbah, look in konverstation's options, and/or run kcontrol from a terminal and look in there
[04:47] <bSON> LinuxJones: so there is no way
[04:47] <MrCollins> I installed Ubuntu (Breezy) and I can not get root.. I cant do apt-get, I cant sudo or su or anything...
[04:47] <LinuxJones> bSON: notifications from cd/dvd drives eject button have never worked for a mounted disk in Linux as far as I know :(
[04:47] <MrCollins> can someone help me
[04:48] <GnarusLeo> MrCollins, you cant sudo??
[04:48] <MrCollins> no...
[04:48] <nickrud> MrCollins, did you type your own password when you tried sudo?
[04:48] <MrCollins> yes
[04:48] <GnarusLeo> MrCollins, how did that happen???
[04:48] <MrCollins> I installed base system... I typed server at install
[04:48] <Frogzoo> MrCollins: if you can't run sudo, you'll need to boot to recovery mode & fix the problem
[04:48] <MrCollins> and it asked for a user name i typed my user name then it asked for a password
[04:49] <gabbah> nickrud,
[04:49] <gabbah> gabbah@gabbah:~$ kcontrol
[04:49] <gabbah> bash: kcontrol: command not found
[04:49] <GnarusLeo> gabbah, "sudo apt-get install kcontrol"
[04:49] <Quinch> Quick question; how do I install a .deb file, again?
[04:49] <Frogzoo> !deb
[04:49] <ubotu> To install a .deb file: sudo dpkg -i filename.deb  (but note that the program you want might be installable using !apt from the !repos)
[04:49] <GnarusLeo> Quinch, dpkg -i
[04:49] <Quinch> Thankyou.
[04:49] <snowblink> !tell MrCollins about expert
[04:49] <LinuxJones> Quinch: dpkg -i package.deb (from within the directory the .deb file is in)
[04:49] <nickrud> gabbah, I'd ask on #kubuntu for that question, it is a kde thing you need to fix ;)
[04:49] <LostKat> How do I find apps that I've installed from Synaptic?
[04:49] <GnarusLeo> !tell GnarusLeo about expert
[04:49] <snowblink> MrCollins, that might help you.
[04:49] <gabbah> bleh.. should i really need to install kcontrol to fix this? just because i installed bluefish??
[04:49] <MrCollins> I cant even login as root snowblink
[04:50] <LinuxJones> LostKat: whereis appname
[04:50] <Frogzoo> LostKat: ls /usr/bin   ???
[04:50] <snowblink> MrCollins, root is a locked account. You have to reboot in single user and issue those commands.
[04:50] <nickrud> gabbah, no, because you're using konversation. You need to use the kde method of file associations for a kde app. Gnome tools might not be sufficient
[04:50] <MrCollins> how do I boot as single user?
[04:51] <LostKat> LinuxJones/Frogzoo: Danke. Okay.. found. Other issue: They're not showing up in my Applications.
[04:51] <harisund> MrCollins, when you reboot your computer, you will see a message "Press esc in 5 seconds for GRUB menu"
[04:51] <MrCollins> I see
[04:51] <LinuxJones> LostKat: what app did you install ?
[04:51] <harisund> Press ESC, and then you will see a GRUB menu. There will be a memtest option, a single user option, and a regular option
[04:51] <LostKat> LinuxJones: Heh, various mud clients.
[04:51] <harisund> You will need to choose the single user option. This will take you to a console, and you will already be logged in as root.
[04:51] <MrCollins> I see thx harisund
[04:51] <bSON> LinuxJones: i meant, by pressing the eject button
[04:52] <MrCollins> ok thx harisund
[04:52] <harisund> You can then edit your /etc/sudoers file. use the command visudo
[04:52] <MrCollins> and all thx all
[04:52] <harisund> sure no problem
[04:52] <LinuxJones> LostKat: did you install from the ubuntu repos or from a .deb file ?
[04:52] <LostKat> LinuxJones: Repos.
[04:52] <gabbah> nickrud, a weird thing is that i can't remove bluefish from the "open with" list... firefox is checked, but I can't remove bluefish from that list still.
[04:53] <conn> sorry for the crazy question, but what does "<<" signify, for example in this line: v_inc = (src_h << 20) / drw_h;
[04:53] <tucoz> hello, is there a tool to tune the synaptic touchpad available for gnome?
[04:53] <nickrud> gabbah, that's ok, it's just an alternative. If you click it in the file manager, it should open with firefox, not bluefish.
[04:54] <LinuxJones> LostKat: you can run the menu editor and add them yourself.
[04:54] <gabbah> nickrud, yeah it does open in firefox.. so that part is ok.
[04:54] <nickrud> gabbah, so, it's all about konversation. An option there, or if necessary, kcontrol ;(
[04:54] <LostKat> LinuxJones: *facepalms* Thank you. Still not awake... I'll blame it on that.. yea.
[04:55] <gabbah> nickrud, couldn't find anything in Konversation
[04:55] <MrCollins> I will probably be back with more questions lol
[04:55] <LinuxJones> LostKat: apps should be added to the menu though as part of the install.
[04:55] <LostKat> LinuxJones: Hrm. Do I need to configure it to add them or should it do it automatically? Nothing I've installed w/Synaptic has auto-added to the AppList.
[04:56] <tucoz> I am looking for a frontend to the synaptic driver for xorg
[04:56] <gabbah> nickrud, you are right that it's only in Konversation... so what happens if I uninstall bluefish?
[04:56] <nickrud> gabbah, I have no idea how kde controls file associations, but if you're gonna run kde apps, kcontrol is worth having.
[04:57] <Quinch> 'ello, me again. Question; is there a way to "chain" commands? For example, "do this" then "do that" followed by "do something else", all in the same line?
[04:57] <gabbah> nickrud, ok.. I couldn't even see that bluefish was a kde app.. i installed it via synaptic
[04:57] <mds\> Quinch, you can use ; between each command
[04:57] <LinuxJones> LostKat: it "should" but that has to be added as part of the installation
[04:57] <xstation> hello
[04:57] <tucoz> Quinch, sure. configure; make; make install
[04:57] <nickrud> Quinch, use ; between, or && to test for ok execution before continuing
[04:58] <Quinch> mds\: Thanks. Tucoz, wrong address?
[04:58] <harisund> Quinch, you can either use ; or use a && between commands. Doing it the latter way will perform a second command only if the first one was a success
[04:58] <gnomefreak> anyone remember the direct rendering command for glxgears?
[04:58] <Quinch> Thanks everyone.
[04:58] <dylan_> how do i hdparm my /dev/hda so it reads faster and removes the bottleneck?
[04:58] <LostKat> LinuxJones: You know, I've not seen a option for it, otherwise I'd have told it to do so. Devious installer, bah. Suggestions?
[04:58] <harisund> gnomefreak, what are you looking at?
[04:58] <xstation> what lines do i add to my sources list for kde 3.5.2
[04:58] <_zippy_> pls.. how i can install java? i installed all java com apt-get and when i try to run a java aplicattion i got this error: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ....... PS: i'm on AMD64
[04:58] <plunder> I have sometrouble moungin a HD, can some1 help me?
[04:59] <gnomefreak> harisund: nothing right now i need to know if direct rendering is enabled
[04:59] <tucoz> join #ubuntu+1
[04:59] <gnomefreak> and theres is a command for it just cant remmeber it
[04:59] <LinuxJones> LostKat: like I said you can add an entry using the menu editor
[04:59] <mds\> xstation: http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-352.php
[04:59] <harisund> gnomefreak, I would simply try glxinfo | grep rendering
[04:59] <gnomefreak> ty
[04:59] <harisund> You should see either a "yes" or "no
[05:00] <LostKat> LinuxJones: That's the plan. Thank you, again. You're my hero for this morning.  ;P
[05:00] <gogo_> Hi guys, how do i log in with superuser rights?
[05:00] <xstation> mds\: thanks I have gnome at the moment so just add the line you suggested and apt-get update and apt-get install kde?
[05:00] <gnomefreak> ok its glxinfo | grep direct
[05:00] <harisund> Did that work for you? (gnomefreak)
[05:01] <gnomefreak> ^^^ that did
[05:01] <mds\> xstation, I *think* you'll want to apt-get install kubuntu-dektop
[05:01] <sergevn> @gogo_ In the shell type "su"
[05:01] <plunder> (did I talk, or am I muted? )
[05:01] <harisund> good to hear that gnomefreak
[05:01] <mds\> then add those lines and apt-get update, and apt-get-upgrade
[05:01] <gnomefreak> plunder: your not muted
[05:01] <Narada> Hmm php locale is not working and it is because php was not compiled with libgcc enabled.  Any workaround?
[05:01] <xstation> mds\ yes thanks but what what lines are nedded in my sources list
[05:01] <gogo_> sorry i don't have much experience here, shell?
[05:02] <plunder> thanks gnome, then can I ask for help here? or is there a special room for that?
[05:02] <ic56> conn: << in C means do a binary shift left.  Eg 3<<1 = 5
[05:02] <ic56>   2<<2 = 8
[05:02] <gnomefreak> shell = terminal
[05:02] <harisund> Wait gogo_, did you mean log into the desktop using root?
[05:02] <mds\> xstation: it tells you on that page (deb http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde352 breezy main)
[05:02] <Narada> gogo_: "sudo su -" in the shell without the quotes or "su -"
[05:02] <mds\> but you don't need to add any to install kubuntu-desktop
[05:02] <mds\> only to upgrade it
[05:02] <ds[de] > ic56: wouldn't 3<<1 be 6? ;)
[05:03] <gogo_> i want to edit menu1st. so i need special rights
[05:03] <gnomefreak> or install the 3.5 cleanly
[05:03] <gnomefreak> gogo_: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:03] <gnomefreak> ^^ that list?
[05:03] <ic56> conn: oops: 3<<1 = 6.  Thanks ds[de]  !
[05:03] <gogo_> thanx guys
[05:03] <sergevn> @gnomefreak Nice, i think he now understands :)
[05:04] <gnomefreak> sergevn: can only hope ;)
[05:04] <sergevn> @gogo_ yw :)
[05:04] <harisund> Anyone using irssi for chatting here? I really  want it to disable showing me who has just logged in, and who has just logged out and instead just show me the conversations
[05:04] <xstation> mds\ thanks yes it does, only thing now is to stop the curser bounceing up and down like zebadie from the magic roundabout
[05:05] <gnomefreak> harisund: type /help   i cant remember command off hand
[05:05] <gabbah> nickrud, i fixed it with kcontrol... but they do open slow...
[05:05] <harisund> Hmm,, am trying that..thanks
[05:05] <nickrud> gabbah, it should be faster now, you needed to load up all the kde support libs the first time
[05:05] <xstation> mds\ when I installed a version ok kde some time ago curser looks like it has a spring attached to it
[05:06] <_jason> harisund: /help ignore, I think something like /ignore #UBUNTU JOIN PARTS works but check...
[05:06] <LinuxJones> LostKat: :)
[05:06] <gnomefreak> _jason: thats it
[05:07] <gnomefreak> plunder: please dont pm me without asking
[05:07] <harisund> Ah ok , let me check
[05:07] <sergevn> Man, i love ubuntu :)
[05:07] <plunder> sorry, I'm a bit new here, and I kinda need help =(
[05:07] <gnomefreak> right now im not liking as much as i did yesterday
[05:07] <gnomefreak> plunder: tell the room your issues
[05:08] <gabbah> nickrud, actually the thing that bugsme is that it opens a new taskbar entry that says "opening firefox", but it also opens the link in a new tab in the already existing firefox like it should. After a few seconds the new taskbar entry dissapears. I guess the actual opening of the link in the existing firefox is as fast as it can be though.
[05:08] <_jason> harisund: /help levels, will be helpful too since it is JOINS not JOIN
[05:08] <harisund> hehe, yes I noticed that.
[05:09] <harisund> thanks a lot anyway.. from my school machines I ssh back home and use irssi .. other wise I use somethign like Gaim ..
[05:09] <nickrud> gabbah, kde & gnome interactions are sometimes not well defined, as long as the end result is what you need ...
[05:09] <harisund> thanks a lot again.
[05:09] <gabbah> is there any reason that "keyboard shortcuts" in ubuntu can't contol xmms? I set a button do act as play/pause, but it has no effect?
[05:09] <gabbah> nickrud, i guess i will have to live with it then.
[05:10] <plunder> I have just installed ubuntu, and I need to mount my other partitions, I succeeded in mounting 2 of my 3 partitions (full access and stuff), however my third drive gives an error when I want to do something on it (Read-only device/read-only disk it says). I did mount this device just the same way as the other 2 pertitions
[05:10] <digitalSurgeon> can a patent be challenged in court ?
[05:10] <Keleksi> what happen if u install Xfce4?
[05:10] <Keleksi> i*
[05:10] <geargolem> gnomefreak: hello
[05:10] <gabbah> plunder, perhaps the third one is ntfs?
[05:10] <ds[de] > plunder: what filesystem is on that disk?
[05:10] <Google__Firefox> instruction Google Adsense-->  http://planet.nana.co.il/hartk2003/en.htm                 Download free Firefox -->  http://planet.nana.co.il/hartk2003/Firefox.htm
[05:10] <plunder> they are all fat 32
[05:10] <Frogzoo> digitalSurgeon: kind of offtopic, but yes, of course
[05:11] <digitalSurgeon> good
[05:11] <digitalSurgeon> thanks
[05:11] <ds[de] > plunder: did you try to mount them manually or via /etc/fstab ?
[05:12] <ompaul> opme
[05:12] <ompaul> doh
[05:12] <quellhorst> how can i install a redhat source rpm on ubuntu?
[05:12] <plunder> @ ds[de]  yes
[05:12] <ds[de] > quellhorst: you can use 'alien' to convert the package to .deb
[05:12] <ds[de] > plunder; yes what?
[05:12] <plunder> the 3rd partition is another HD
[05:12] <geargolem> hello I lost my X Display and reset my repositories to dapper.  Is there anything else to do to get my display working?
[05:12] <plunder> yes; I tried mounting them with fstab
[05:13] <ds[de] > plunder; can you paste your /etc/fstab on pastebin.com or in query?
[05:13] <hamdiz> hi..
[05:13] <quellhorst> ds[de] , done, now how do i install the src .deb  ?
[05:13] <hamdiz> ... :)
[05:13] <variant> plunder: do you have options in fstab "rm,users"?
[05:13] <geargolem> gnomefreak: are you available?
[05:13] <ds[de] > quellhorst: sudo dpkg -i *.deb
[05:13] <variant> plunder: sorry, rw,users
[05:14] <gogo_> I don't know my superuser password. How do i get it?
[05:14] <gnomefreak> yes sorry
[05:14] <bSON> why is it that, in 2006, you can't unmount cd drives by just pressing the eject button?
[05:14] <ds[de] > gogo_, are you sure you have set one?
[05:14] <variant> gogo_: sudo su
[05:14] <variant> gogo_: then passwd
[05:14] <nickrud> !tell gogo_ about root
[05:14] <geargolem> gnomefreak: no problem.  I got the updates done
[05:14] <ompaul> !tell gogo about root
[05:14] <variant> gogo_: that will change the password
[05:14] <gogo_> i don't remember setting one actually
[05:14] <ompaul> !root
[05:14] <ubotu> By default, the root password is locked in Ubuntu. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
[05:14] <geargolem> lol
[05:14] <gnomefreak> geargolem: reboot into new kernel please
[05:14] <quellhorst> ds[de] , that doesnt seem to have compiled anything
[05:14] <geargolem> ok gnomefreak
[05:14] <ds[de] > gogo_; then try what variant said, sudo passwd
[05:14] <plunder> I mounted with the following command ->  /dev/hda1 /media/windows/ -t vfat -o umask=000
[05:14] <azurehuesofblue> in channels that require you to /msg IDENTIFY, do you really have to type out your password with no astericks or anything?
[05:14] <ompaul> variant, you don't pass that on you pass that url on and then the user can make their own mind up
[05:14] <geargolem> brb
[05:15] <plunder> (and then adapted to my own settings)
[05:15] <LinuxJones> geargolem: did you install ati or nvidia binary drivers ?
[05:15] <ds[de] > azurehuesofblue; yes
[05:15] <azurehuesofblue> :-/ that's not cool... oh well.
[05:15] <kleinlappies> what is fedora best used for server or workstation?
[05:15] <nickrud> frisbee
[05:15] <gnomefreak> kleinlappies: step stool
[05:15] <MrCollins> ok
[05:15] <gnomefreak> kleinlappies: i would ask in #fedora
[05:16] <MrCollins> is there a text irc so I can chat to you guys from ubuntu, this is from a win32 box.
[05:16] <gnomefreak> MrCollins: irssi
[05:16] <nickrud> MrCollins, irssi
[05:16] <MrCollins> I do not have X installed on ubuntu. ah ok
[05:16] <kleinlappies> why? i want to make and office with ubuntu workstations but don't know what to use as a server
[05:16] <ds[de] > quellhorst; sorry, I missed that "source" in "source rpm"
[05:16] <gnomefreak> there are others but that seems best for me
[05:16] <MrCollins> I was lookin for BitchX but apt-get didnt have that pkg... thx!
[05:16] <nickrud> kleinlappies, use ubuntu server install
[05:16] <bSON> did somebody see my post?
[05:16] <nickrud> kleinlappies, same tools, same structure, only need to know in detail one distro
[05:17] <kleinlappies> isn't it quite new and unpolished?
[05:17] <jahshua> BitchX sucks anyway
[05:17] <gnomefreak> MrCollins: i think bitchx is in universe repo
[05:17] <kleinlappies> nickkrud thanks thats gonna help
[05:17] <gnomefreak> !info bitchx
[05:17] <ubotu> bitchx: (Advanced Internet Relay Chat client), section universe/net, is optional. Version: 1:1.1-2 (breezy), Packaged size: 1466 kB, Installed size: 6484 kB
[05:17] <gnomefreak> yep ;)
[05:18] <jahshua> irssi rules
[05:18] <MrCollins> hehe
[05:18] <MrCollins> ok it says irssi has no installation candidate
[05:18] <jahshua> it should already be installed?
[05:18] <kleinlappies> jahshua im gonna check it out now busy downloading
[05:18] <jahshua> i think
[05:18] <MrCollins> *checks*
[05:18] <geargolem> gnomefreak: back.
[05:18] <gnomefreak> geargolem: ok type uname -r and tell me what it says
[05:18] <nickrud> !tell MrCollins about repositories
[05:19] <jahshua> #1 tip for irssi  ... use ctrl n and ctrl p to change channels  :)
[05:19] <bSON> hello?
[05:19] <geargolem> gnomefreak: its still the same kernel; 2.6.12-10-386
[05:19] <jahshua> Linux higher 2.6.15-18-386 #1 PREEMPT Thu Mar 9 14:41:49 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
[05:19] <plunder> variant: I Copy/pasted in a PM
[05:19] <gnomefreak> geargolem: than there is something not right with your sources.list file
[05:19] <geargolem> gnomefreak: I think I messed the upgrade up
[05:20] <gnomefreak> geargolem: you still have breezy sources im betting
[05:20] <Stork> how can i tell what version of nvidia drivers i have installed?
[05:20] <geargolem> gnomefreak: I'll check
[05:20] <geargolem> brb
[05:20] <MrCollins> nickrud i do not have X installed...
[05:20] <quellhorst> how can i install a redhat source rpm on ubuntu?
[05:20] <MrCollins> and irssi is not installed....
[05:21] <gnomefreak> quellhorst: you cant
[05:21] <nickrud> in a terminal, sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list . Delete the # at the beginning lines 19 & 20, add the word multiverse at the ends of lines 19 & 20, and save.
[05:21] <jahshua> sudo apt-get install irssi
[05:21] <quellhorst> I tried alien but it doesnt seem to compile
[05:21] <jahshua> should work?
[05:21] <nickrud> MrCollins, that post above was for you
[05:21] <ompaul> quellhorst, what do you want to install
[05:21] <defrysk> quellhorst, sudo apt-get source -b blah.src.rpm
[05:21] <gnomefreak> quellhorst: read my comment above
[05:21] <MrCollins> ok thx nick!
[05:21] <Frogzoo> !tell quellhorst about alien
[05:21] <defrysk> then alien blah.rpm
[05:21] <MrCollins> jahshua it doesnt work
[05:21] <jahshua> odd
[05:21] <defrysk>  then install blah.deb
[05:22] <ompaul> !tell quellhorst about repos
[05:22] <defrysk> sudo rpmbuild -b blah.src.rpm it is i beleive
[05:22] <defrysk> then use aliien to install the rpm
[05:22] <kleinlappies> jahshua when i open it up (irssi) how do i get to ubuntu irc? prob a silly Q but im a newbie
[05:23] <gnomefreak> MrCollins: for irssi its already installed for bitchx first enable universe than apt-get update than apt-get install bitchx
[05:23] <gnomefreak> kleinlappies: /connect chat.freenode.net
[05:23] <xstation> hello
[05:23] <smartass> I have a problem! Whats the password for the root? I havnt chosen anyone...
[05:23] <Frogzoo> quellhorst: what is this RPM you need so badly?
[05:23] <_jason> ubotu: tell smartass about root
[05:24] <kingspawn> !root
[05:24] <ubotu> By default, the root password is locked in Ubuntu. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
[05:24] <gnomefreak> kleinlappies: than if you want to be identifyed  its /msg nickserv identify password than /j #ubuntu
[05:24] <nickrud> !tell smartass about root
[05:24] <xstation> what is the line in sudo apt-get for installing kde desktop
[05:24] <ompaul> quellhorst, it is suggested that you tell us what the program is RH != Ubuntu there are differences
[05:24] <gimmulf>  How do i format a harddrive in fat32 ?
[05:24] <Frogzoo> try sudo smartass
[05:24] <gimmulf> fdisk?
[05:24] <nickrud> xstation, kubuntu-desktop
[05:24] <gnomefreak> xstation: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[05:24] <bSON> nobody wanna answer me?
[05:24] <ompaul> quellhorst, we may be able to point you to a specific version that will work for you
[05:24] <Frogzoo> lastnode: bSON:
[05:24] <kleinlap1ies> gnomefreak sending this from irssi thanks :)
[05:25] <jahshua> bSON: repeat plz
[05:25] <quellhorst> im trying to install lighttpd 1.4.11
[05:25] <gnomefreak> i didnt see the nick smartass
[05:25] <nickrud> gnomefreak, if the shoe fits ;)
[05:25] <gnomefreak> ;)
[05:25] <bSON> why is it that, in 2006, you can't unmount cd drives by just pressing the eject button?
[05:25] <xstation> nickrud/gnomefreak: thanks and the soultion to stop curser bouncing like a spring in kde?
[05:25] <nsmith> I have installed the w32codecs and I get sound but no video when playing mpeg files.  Any solutions?
[05:25] <_jason> ubotu: tell nsmith about multimedia
[05:25] <nickrud> xstation, no kde here, sorry
[05:25] <jahshua> bSON: i dont know, sorry, i havent experienced that issue
[05:25] <gnomefreak> i cant seem to break it again :(
[05:26] <cdo> !bind
[05:26] <ubotu> cdo: parse error: Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[05:26] <bSON> jahshua: does that mean you can eject a mounted cd drive with just hitting the drive's eject button?
[05:26] <nickrud> bSON, same principle as usb devices, it's removable so handle it the same way.
[05:26] <ompaul> bSON, because the drive is mounted go to your desktop right click on the CD and choose (A) umount or (B) eject)
[05:26] <GudyUbuntu_> Hi, has anyone been able to compile cyberlink for c++ on ubuntu?
[05:26] <nsmith> ubotu was that directud to me?
[05:26] <ubotu> No idea, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, nsmith
[05:27] <ompaul> !ubotu
[05:27] <ubotu> Yep, that's me! I'm a bot alright. Read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage to find out how to use me. Do NOT play with me in any channel except #debian-bots.
[05:27] <kleinlap1ies> hi now speaking to you all from irssi (gonna give it a bash)
[05:27] <nsmith> thanks
[05:27] <jbroome> kleinlap1ies: woohoo!
[05:27] <joeljkp> join #gimp
[05:27] <gnomefreak> kleinlappies: after you get little better at it you will love what it can do ;)
[05:28] <bSON> ompaul: but why don't automate it with gnome-volume-manager or so? that would make a better end-user experience, for windows users expect a drive to open if they press eject button
[05:28] <MrCollins> hmm it said could not stat source pkg list *insert long url here* - stat (2 no such file or directory) irssi has no candidiate
[05:28] <_jason> nsmith: yes, checout the link to codecs ubotu sent you
[05:28] <kleinlap1ies> how would i get a hp networked printer working?
[05:28] <nickrud> MrCollins, sudo apt-get update , then try again
[05:28] <MrCollins> nickrud i did it already
[05:29] <gnomefreak> kleinlappies: im sorry but i dont think irssi can help with that ;) j/k
[05:29] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell kleinlappies about print
[05:29] <GudyUbuntu_> I'll try a different question then, has anyone got this error when running a configure script :
[05:29] <ic56> gimmulf: mkfs -t vfat /dev/hda2 (hda2 = 2nd partition in 1st harddisk)
[05:29] <nickrud> MrCollins, you may have had an error while editing the sources.list ;(
[05:29] <giard> anyone know how I could set ubuntu to turn networking (general and a specific device) on by default when I boot?
[05:29] <MrCollins> ahhh
[05:29] <MrCollins> ok
[05:29] <MrCollins> let me go back... and double check
[05:29] <GudyUbuntu_> checking for gcc... gcc
[05:29] <GudyUbuntu_> checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[05:29] <C-O-L-T> why is mplayer slower on my machine than totem
[05:29] <C-O-L-T> ?
[05:30] <_jason> GudyUbuntu_: 'sudo aptitude install build-essential'
[05:30] <ompaul> bSON, this is not windows and we dont do things that way, if something is mounted it is locked that may change if you want to request it as a feature go to launchpad.net and report is as a feature request against "mount" but there are "good" linux reasons not to do that
[05:30] <gnomefreak> GudyUbuntu_: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[05:30] <GudyUbuntu_> thanks, will try that
[05:31] <jenda> Anyone here have an Acer Travelmate?
[05:31] <bSON> ompaul: don't think so... if the device is in use, such a feature naturally would report that instead of ejecting the cd... the behaivior should be exactly the same as if you had chosen Eject in nautilus
[05:31] <MrCollins> package irssi has no installation candidate
[05:31] <MrCollins> it says irssi is not available...
[05:32] <gnomefreak> MrCollins: in terminal type irssi
[05:32] <gnomefreak> MrCollins: its preinstalled
[05:32] <_jason> MrCollins: irssi-text is the package but it should be installed as gnomefreak says
[05:33] <GudyUbuntu_> _jason, gnomefreak : thanks, it helped a bit :)
[05:33] <MrCollins> command not found
[05:33] <ompaul> bSON, it is a physical world thing, the nautilus thing umounts sweetly the request would have to do a umount -f may not be good for users on a multiuser machine
[05:33] <nickrud> MrCollins, http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/files/pastebin is a script you can use to put stuff on a pastebin from a terminal ; you need to paste your /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:33] <MrCollins> nickrud
[05:33] <MrCollins> its on a different box
[05:34] <ompaul> bSON, where should it report?
[05:34] <Linux_Kong> can someone try and ssh to staging.homeunix.net please, just testing my ssh forwarding in my router and my dyndns setup, thanks
[05:34] <bSON> through a dialog window, as the Eject command of nautilus does?
[05:35] <nickrud> MrCollins, then http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11052 is a minimal sources.list, should get you back up and running for apt anyway
[05:36] <zeus> hola
[05:36] <Frogzoo> bSON: my guess is that it's because linux handles mounts in user space, and the eject button would have to be handled by the kernel, so you'd need the kernel to call user space routines - which isn't typically how linux works
[05:36] <MrCollins|irssi> yay!
[05:36] <bSON> Frogzoo: but hal runs user space, doesn't it?
[05:36] <MrCollins|irssi> i had to type apt-get install irssi-text
[05:37] <Frogzoo> bSON: hal is currently undergoing a complete rewrite, I understand
[05:37] <bSON> Frogzoo: at least gnome-volume-manager does, and must anyway be the invoker of the eject
[05:37] <MrCollins|irssi> thanks guys!
[05:38] <MrCollins|irssi> where is a good general ubuntu howto....
[05:38] <Frogzoo> !tell MrCollins|irssi about doc
[05:38] <ompaul> bSON, I think this is well beyond the releams of a support channel why not talk about it in #ubuntu-offtopic?
[05:38] <bSON> ok
[05:38] <nnonix> I'm getting audio but no video from VLC. w32codecs are installed. Ideas?
[05:39] <MrCollins|irssi> I want to install an ftp server on this box.. as well as get samba working...
[05:39] <MrCollins|irssi> which should I tackle first samba? or ftp?
[05:39] <nnonix> P.S. with wmv files. OGG play fine
[05:39] <Frogzoo> MrCollins|irssi: 'sudo apt-get install samba' - now decide on your ftp server :)
[05:39] <MrCollins|irssi> hehe Frogzoo
[05:40] <bon_> i am have problems mounting my digtal camera i have kubuntu 5.10 and a cannon eso 300d, it see the camera when i lisst th usb devices but then i switch it on for the first time it does'nt take any action exept then i change the camera communication mode to ptp indsteaad of normal
[05:40] <MrCollins|irssi> bon_ what error does mount give you
[05:41] <bon_> no device when switched to ptp
[05:42] <plunder> I have a third partition (2nd HD) I try to mount, I succeed in mounting, however ubuntu says it is a read-only disk/device when I try to modify some files there. ds[de]  can confirm I mounted the right way
[05:42] <MrCollins|irssi> hmm. someone more experienced will have to help you.. I had a problem once with a dig camera... all I did was switch to a different USB hub.
[05:42] <bon_> Unknown error
[05:42] <bon_>  Bad parameters
[05:42] <Frogzoo> bon_: in gnome you can run gthumbviewer (probably can under KDE too) & then run "import photos" & have it detect your camera
[05:43] <nickrud> plunder, please put up on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org the output of mount | sort and the contents of /etc/fstab
[05:43] <MrCollins|irssi> hey Frogzoo which ftp should I install?
[05:43] <jcorz25> new user here
[05:43] <jcorz25> can someone answer a hardware question for me?
[05:44] <MrCollins|irssi> what just happened
[05:44] <MrCollins|irssi> lol
[05:44] <escavias> hola
[05:45] <jcorz25> how do you add a webcam to ubuntu?
[05:45] <Frogzoo> MrCollins|irssi: I don't run ftp - but proftpd looks fairly comprehensive
[05:45] <Frogzoo> jcorz25: run gthumbviewer & 'import  photos" to have your camera detected
[05:45] <MrCollins|irssi> ahh thx Frogzoo
[05:46] <MrCollins|irssi> Frogzoo how do I search for package names
[05:46] <MrCollins|irssi> I just tried proftpd in apt and it says package doesnt exist.
[05:47] <Manny> MrCollins|irssi, what command did you use, and did you read man apt-get?
[05:47] <Manny> ugh, man apt-cache
[05:47] <jcorz25> Frogzoo: it saw it as an unknown model.
[05:47] <jcorz25> Any other ideas?
[05:47] <MrCollins|irssi> Manny i did sudo apt-get install proftpd
[05:48] <Frogzoo> MrCollins|irssi: apt-cache search string
[05:48] <Manny> MrCollins|irssi, this should definitly have worked. I suppose you misspelled it (besides, I recommend vsftpd :)
[05:48] <VR_> MrCollins|irssi: you may have to enable universe/multiverse repos
[05:48] <MrCollins|irssi> VR_ i did in source.list file!
[05:48] <MrCollins|irssi> thank you Frogzoo
[05:48] <VR_> MrCollins|irssi: you could have done it in synaptic also
[05:49] <Frogzoo> MrCollins|irssi: yw
[05:49] <GudyUbuntu_> ha, I've got a new error (when compiling VLC this time) : configure: error: Cannot find development headers for libfaad...
[05:49] <MrCollins|irssi> ok VR_
[05:49] <MrCollins|irssi> vsftpd better?
[05:49] <GudyUbuntu_> and apt-cache search doesn't give any result for libfaad or faad ...
[05:49] <MrCollins|irssi> sorry.
[05:49] <Frogzoo> jcorz25: then probly's it's off to google 'model + linux'
[05:49] <MrCollins|irssi> Manny: vsftpd better?
[05:49] <VR_> GudyUbuntu_: it does for me
[05:49] <VR_> GudyUbuntu_: unless youre using dapper?
[05:50] <jcorz25> ty
[05:50] <GudyUbuntu_> how do I know what I'm using?
[05:50] <Frogzoo> MrCollins|irssi: unless your ftp requirements are fairly hardcore, I'd guess any of the ftpd's in the repos will be fine
[05:50] <fcorrea> I am on dapper and I just changed my keyboard to a Microsoft Media Pro. How do I reconfigure it?  I will just reinstall. the data will be on a cd
[05:53] <VR_> GudyUbuntu_: yeah, that's breezy, not dapper.
[05:53] <GudyUbuntu_> sounds right :)
[05:53] <gnomefreak> !version
[05:53] <ubotu> To find out what ubuntu version you have type 'lsb_release -a' or 'cat /etc/issue' in a terminal.
[05:53] <gnomefreak> ^^^ that will tell you what version ;)
[05:53] <VR_> GudyUbuntu_: open a terminal, type sudo synaptic, then enter your password if it asks you to
[05:53] <MrCollins|irssi> I mean let me rephras that Frogzoo
[05:53] <GudyUbuntu_> I'm root in my terminal ;p
[05:53] <gnomefreak> VR_: gksudo
[05:54] <GudyUbuntu_> done
[05:54] <MrCollins|irssi> Security IS a BIG issue.. but it is not something I am worried about in this instance?
[05:54] <VR_> GudyUbuntu_: go to settings > repositories
[05:54] <GudyUbuntu_> done
[05:54] <Frogzoo> MrCollins|irssi: it's best if you can run ftp in a chroot jail - so that's something to look for
[05:54] <MrCollins|irssi> if I was running a web server for a company or something.. I would anal hardcore about security... this is just for some data some people need access too...
[05:55] <GudyUbuntu_> "add" > done :)
[05:55] <VR_> GudyUbuntu_: click on "add" yes
[05:55] <GudyUbuntu_> now, I don't know what else to do ;)
[05:55] <VR_> GudyUbuntu_: check "universe" and "multiverse"
[05:55] <VR_> GudyUbuntu_: then click ok
[05:56] <VR_> GudyUbuntu_: then click yes
[05:56] <jsanchez> olaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[05:56] <GudyUbuntu_> ha, great
[05:56] <GudyUbuntu_> thanks a lot :)
[05:56] <Frogzoo> MrCollins|irssi: given that pure-ftpd is the only ftpd with a listing in the wiki, might be best to go with that: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PureFTP?highlight=%28ftp%29
[05:56] <VR_> GudyUbuntu_: now when you go a search for "faad" it'll show up
[05:57] <GudyUbuntu_> yep, thanks a lot VR_ :)
[05:57] <VR_> GudyUbuntu_: no problem. i'm not exactly sure which one you will need for vlc. it may be the one that says gstreamer-faad or something
[05:57] <GudyUbuntu_> VR_ : (I in fact grabbed the libfaad2 and -dec packages ...)
[05:57] <GudyUbuntu_> dev*
[05:57] <idefix> GIMP question: the inverting of images doesn't work :-(
[05:57] <idefix> how can I make it work?
[05:58] <VR_> GudyUbuntu_: it should work if you got them
[05:58] <idefix> oh wait, when you invert you invert the selection, not the image!!
[05:58] <GudyUbuntu_> VR_ : yep, new error ... libmpeg2 ...
[05:58] <VR_> GudyUbuntu_: now you need that lib.
[05:58] <VR_> GudyUbuntu_: btw, you're compiling from source, right?
[05:58] <smartass> Someone who speak swedish?
[05:58] <GudyUbuntu_> that's like the 7th time I've got add a new lib ... those scripts could test ALL dependencies ;)
[05:58] <GudyUbuntu_> from the svn version ;p
[05:59] <idefix> jag talar inte svenska
[05:59] <VR_> GudyUbuntu_: if you haven't, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[05:59] <GudyUbuntu_> VR_, can't tell you how many things you've got to install simply to compile 1 app right after a linux install ... heh, at least I don't have to recompile my kernel ;p
[05:59] <VR_> GudyUbuntu_: that may save you a bunch of problems down the road
[05:59] <VR_> GudyUbuntu_: well, those are all the codecs and whatnot
[05:59] <GudyUbuntu_> VR_, I had to do it for cyberlink library ...
[06:00] <plunder> nickrud, where can I send my problem with that pastebin
[06:00] <VR_> GudyUbuntu_: you may wanna check the ubuntu wiki for codecs.
[06:00] <Akonkwa> I'm trying to access my windows FAT partition, using a 5.10 live cd, but when I "fdisk" my har drive, it shows the partition as an NTFS file system, and I KNOW, it's not an NTFS file system... can anyone help? does anyone know why this error occurs?
[06:00] <Frogzoo> Akonkwa: I'm guessing it's NTFS then...
[06:01] <ic56> twn Akonkwa
[06:01] <Akonkwa> ic56: twn?
[06:01] <Trae> What is the absolute best Desktop PCI 802.11g card for Ubuntu Linux?
[06:01] <ic56> Akonkwa: fdisk doesn't know about filesystems.  It only knows about the partitions in which filesystems live. (twn was a typo)
[06:01] <Frogzoo> !tell Trae about hardware
[06:02] <geargolem> gnomefreak: hello
[06:02] <VR_> !tell VR_ about hardware
[06:02] <Frogzoo> ic56: fdisk reads the partition table, which marks the type of partition
[06:02] <Akonkwa> ic56,  but then how come when I mount the partition, I can't write on it?
[06:03] <MrBaia> i somebody knows how can i remove ubuntu boot?!? (or tell me italian ubuntu channel on irc?!?) TNX!
[06:03] <Frogzoo> Akonkwa: when it's mounted, is it mounted as vfat or ntfs?
[06:03] <oskude> Trae, dunno if its 802.11g, but i had very good experience with prism3 chip. theres a huge linux-wlan list, should i digg it ?
[06:03] <Akonkwa> Frogzoo,  vfat
[06:03] <MrBaia> i somebody knows how can i remove ubuntu boot?!? (or tell me italian ubuntu channel on irc?!?) TNX!
[06:03] <gnomefreak> geargolem: im here
[06:03] <Trae> oskude, well...
[06:03] <gabbah> hi. I can't get the search bar wider... I've added #search-container, #searchbar{-moz-box-flex: 400 !important;} to  userChrome.css but no to no avail :(
[06:03] <Trae> I'm sorta looking for something I can just plug into breezy and have it work.
[06:03] <geargolem> gnomefreak: I redid sudo apt-get dist-upgrade but still same kernel
[06:03] <gabbah> and i've restarted ff too
[06:03] <Frogzoo> Akonkwa: well then it's vfat
[06:03] <gnomefreak> MrBaia: #ubuntu-it
[06:03] <MrCollins> ehehe there i go lol
[06:03] <Trae> without having to search around and recompile kerneels and crap
[06:03] <Trae> :/
[06:04] <VR_> Trae: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCards
[06:04] <oskude> Trae, as i said, prism chips are good supported...
[06:04] <Akonkwa> Frogzoo, : meaning?
[06:04] <cerberusbe> anyone have an idea how i can connect to shared folders at my windows pc by a direct UTP link?
[06:04] <Trae> VR_, yeah, I'm there now
[06:04] <Akonkwa> Frogzoo, : Why can't I write on it?
[06:04] <Frogzoo> Akonkwa: dunno, if it's mounted it as vfat, it should be r/w
[06:05] <gnomefreak> geargolem: i hate doing this but im gonna suggest you reinstall breezy this way we start clean :(
[06:05] <geargolem> ack
[06:05] <Frogzoo> Akonkwa: mount | grep MOUNTPOINT
[06:05] <oskude> Trae, heres the huge list, but its from 2004 :( http://www.linux-wlan.org/docs/wlan_adapters.html.gz
[06:05] <Trae> oskude, heh, for instance, if it were me and I know wgrt3411 heh worked fine, I'd recommend that to someone  give them the exact model # so they could have the same flawless experience.   Do you have an exact module # card?  Or just a "chipset" recommendation?
[06:05] <geargolem> gnomefreak: ok :(
[06:05] <geargolem> brb
[06:05] <Howitzer> How do i make the menubar in nautilus go away?
[06:06] <smetjen> hi evryone
[06:06] <oskude> Trae, because manufacturers change chips even in the same model, i would look if the chip is supported...
[06:06] <cerberusbe> yo
[06:06] <gnomefreak> Howitzer: view
[06:06] <Trae> oskude, that's evil.  :(  (about the manufactures that is)
[06:07] <smetjen> i've a problem, fucked up my hd's afther deleting ubuntu, and now i can't boot anny OS :s
[06:07] <oskude> Trae, or if youre buying from your local store, try it, when it doesnt work, test the next one, until you find one that works :)
[06:07] <gnomefreak> smetjen: language please
[06:07] <Frogzoo> !tell smetjen about grub
[06:07] <Howitzer> gnomefreak:  doesn't mention the menu. (I mean the 'file, edit, view, go, ..' menu)
[06:07] <Trae> oskude, heh
[06:07] <gnomefreak> oh you mean the upper menu?
[06:07] <plunder> how can I remove a whole directory with everything in it?
[06:07] <Frogzoo> smetjen: maybe you just need to reinstall grub? the bootloader
[06:07] <VR_> Howitzer: i dont think you can hide that
[06:08] <Howitzer> damn
[06:08] <smetjen> could be
[06:08] <Howitzer> really want it to go away
[06:08] <lopi> how are you
[06:08] <smetjen> i've deleted all my linux looking partitions (i'm a noob)
[06:08] <gnomefreak> Howitzer: that i dont know if you can without hacking the crap out of it
[06:08] <ic56> Frogzoo: you are correct that fdisk knows about partition types but note that it doesn't know about Linux filesystems.  Some OSs, especially Microsoft ones, don't distinguish between partition and the filesystem that's contained inside it.  Thus, the partition type also implies the filesystem type.  Not so for Linux filesystems.
[06:08] <VR_> Howitzer: use the console :)
[06:08] <darkriser> plunder: man rmdir
[06:08] <oskude> Trae, but the smoothes way would be to google first with linux and the model youre going to test..
[06:08] <Howitzer> ack
[06:08] <Trae> D-Link DWL-520+ acx100
[06:08] <Trae> Yes Yes Yes
[06:08] <Trae> Just Works, only distro that autodetects this one
[06:08] <Trae> ugh, thought I took out the spaces. :(
[06:09] <plunder> darkrise rmdir does not wor
[06:09] <Howitzer> and is it normal that firefox click-buttons look so damn ugly? (Like the 'im feeling lucky' box on google for example)
[06:09] <Trae> I've got an ACX111 that WAS working, but stopped working on me after a while.
[06:09] <Trae> :/
[06:10] <plunder> how can I remove a whole directory with everything in it? (rmdir does not work? )
[06:10] <ic56> plunder: rm -r
[06:11] <oskude> Trae, have you seen this: http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id=357
[06:11] <gnomefreak> plunder: what about rm -r /pathe/to/dir
[06:11] <plunder> thanks!
[06:11] <Trae> oskude, sec, let me look
[06:11] <IamEthos> okay
[06:11] <IamEthos> so I followed the steps to set up Flash
[06:11] <aspro> Wil truc es parti ? :s
[06:11] <IamEthos> but it still isn'tw orking
[06:11] <IamEthos> I installed Firefox 1.5
[06:12] <VR_> i need a cheap card
[06:12] <stocksy> does anybody here use ubuntu on ppc?
[06:12] <VR_> netgear cards are $50
[06:12] <Trae> oskude, :/  yeah... I'm almost wish I could figure out how to get cat5 to my desktop instead.  heh.
[06:12] <IamEthos> oh
[06:12] <IamEthos> nevermind
[06:12] <Trae> and also run cat5 to my laptop area... in case I need to do fast file transfers.
[06:13] <MrCollins> is sshd installed by default by ubuntu breezy?
[06:13] <Trae> moving movies over wireless is a pain
[06:13] <stocksy> mrcollins: no
[06:13] <stocksy> apt-get install openssh-server
[06:13] <alfredo> :O
[06:13] <MrCollins> strocksy ok thx
[06:14] <VR_> stocksy: i've tried ubuntu on ppc
[06:14] <VR_> but i doubt that helps you
[06:14] <gnomefreak> my nic card was 15 dollars ;)
[06:15] <VR_> gnomefreak: what brand
[06:15] <stocksy> VR_: there doesn't seem to be a lot of mac oriented documentation for ubuntu
[06:15] <VR_> linksys
[06:15] <VR_> ?
[06:15] <stocksy> any tips?
[06:15] <gnomefreak> im not sure it was at walmart
[06:15] <stocksy> as in where to look for docs?
[06:16] <VR_> stocksy: yeah, there's very little. i just fiddled with the livecd a few times, hoping it would auto-detect my airport extreme connection, but no dice
[06:16] <VR_> gnomefreak: you gotta open up your box and let me know the brand. im shopping for a card right now
[06:16] <gnomefreak> VR_: yes its  alinksys
[06:16] <VR_> oh there ya go
[06:16] <VR_> hehe
[06:17] <stocksy> VR_: if it uses airport extreme, it's a wee bit newer than what I'm dealing with :P
[06:17] <gnomefreak> VR_: model NC100U
[06:17] <Consty> I'm having problems using gnomebaker to copy data dvd's.. anyone know if its possible with the current release in the repositories?
[06:18] <plunder> I really really have a strange problem :S
[06:18] <plunder> blah
[06:18] <VR_> gnomefreak: did it work out of the box?
[06:18] <gnomefreak> yep ;)
[06:18] <gnomefreak> plug in and go
[06:18] <VR_> gnomefreak: i dont see it on linksys.com
[06:18] <VR_> gnomefreak: is that breezy?
[06:18] <Frogzoo> !tell plunder about helpme
[06:18] <gnomefreak> VR_: hoary breezy and dapper
[06:18] <VR_> sweet
[06:18] <oskude> Trae, i assume you know this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCards
[06:18] <VR_> im getting that
[06:19] <gnomefreak> let me see if i can find it
[06:19] <VR_> gnomefreak: i'll look at newegg or something
[06:19] <G0SUB> gnomefreak: which package has windows fonts?
[06:20] <VR_> G0SUB: msttcorefonts
[06:20] <G0SUB> ok
[06:20] <MrCollins> sweet
[06:20] <plunder> The Problem:
[06:20] <plunder> I have 3 partitions from a previous windows installation. Now I tried to mount then in ubuntu. 2 of the 3 partitions mount the way you expect them to. The third partition however is a seperate HD and gives an error when I modify files, saying the device is read-only. I mounted this device exactly the way I should, thus there are no problems in my command line. also as root I cannot edit files.
[06:20] <plunder> Suddenly I may add 1 extra little thing, When I delete a file just after I mounted in a terminal it removes without a problem. When when I open the device with my file-browsing program (forgot the name, just the default one) I suddenly can nolonger delete :S (not in file browsing program as in terminal) I can delete , and then after I did a ls I canno longer delete (or modify) :S
[06:20] <MrCollins> linux is so freaking sweet
[06:20] <evilmonkey> hi
[06:21] <MrCollins> ssh rules
[06:21] <VR_> gnomefreak: if you find that card, let me know.
[06:21] <gnomefreak> i will
[06:21] <VR_> thanks
[06:21] <_jason> plunder: what filesystem?
[06:21] <gnomefreak> VR_: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/search-ng.gsp?search_constraint=3944&search_query=linksys+nic+card&Continue.x=0&Continue.y=0&Continue=Find&ics=20&ico=0
[06:21] <VR_> thats a pci, right?
[06:21] <plunder> _jason, fat32
[06:22] <gnomefreak> yep ;)
[06:22] <VR_> gnomefreak: that's not wireless though right?
[06:22] <Trae> oskude, my WG311v2 is supposed to work ootb too... and did at one time.
[06:22] <ic56> plunder: what is the device name for the problematic partition?
[06:22] <Trae> it's no longer working
[06:22] <Trae> :/
[06:22] <_jason> plunder: can you 'sudo touch foo' on there?
[06:22] <Trae> anyway
[06:22] <Trae> oskude, thanks for all your help!
[06:23] <Trunkz> Errm, I just installed the icecast2 package off apt-get.. where is it actually installed? I need to edit the .conf file :o
[06:23] <gnomefreak> VR_: no its not but the w-m at end im assuming means they have a wireless one
[06:23] <variant> MrCollins: try screen with ssh now (it makes ssh even more usfull :P)
[06:23] <variant> MrCollins: or screen/ssh/irssi for an ideal combination on a remote host
[06:23] <arrick> Hey guys, Im back
[06:23] <VR_> gnomefreak: ah ok, see i need a wireless card
[06:24] <VR_> i doubt i'll find that for $15
[06:24] <bluefoxicy> ubotu gparted
[06:24] <ubotu> hmm... gparted is a partition editor. As always when manipulating partitions, backup your important data. When resizing NTFS partitions PLEASE defrag first to avoid potential data loss. There is a gparted livecd at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/
[06:24] <plunder> ic56, what do you mean, it's a normal HD
[06:24] <bluefoxicy> gparted is at 0.2.3
[06:24] <gnomefreak> VR_: i doubt it too
[06:24] <bluefoxicy> DAPPER HAS 0.1
[06:24] <bluefoxicy> BREEZY HAS 0.8
[06:24] <arrick> IDE or SCSI?
[06:24] <bluefoxicy> ERR.  0.0.8
[06:24] <ic56> plunder: what is listed in the first column of df's output for that filesystem?
[06:25] <arrick> Hey I like the fact that I can edit files on my NTFS partition without booting into it
[06:25] <plunder> plunder@55pc202:/media/hd3/Sympo$ sudo touch foo
[06:25] <plunder> touch: cannot touch `foo': Read-only file system
[06:25] <arrick> easier to change settings
[06:25] <schloob> ehh... does anyone know a way to get the host prompt for terminals (i.e. user@host:~$) to be like the usual greenish color? mine's white.. :\
[06:25] <Dr_Willis> arrick,  i would NOT put too much TRUST in that.
[06:26] <arrick> Dr_Willis, only for changing text files, not anything else
[06:26] <Dr_Willis> arrick,  even then. I wouldent trust it very much. Backup your Critical data :)
[06:26] <arrick> I have
[06:26] <ic56> plunder: why is it in /media?  is this a removable disk?  is it mounted over the network?
[06:26] <jcorz25_> Frogzoo: linux doesnt support my webcam. Is there a good one for linux?
[06:26] <Frogzoo> schloob: you need to put colour escapes in PS1 - but this is a bad thing to do really
[06:26] <Dr_Willis> make a 2nd and 5th backup then! :po
[06:26] <arrick> I'm changing slpash screen settings and stuff for my xp partition
[06:26] <arrick> haha
[06:27] <oskude> !webcam
[06:27] <ubotu> methinks webcam is now easy to install, per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Webcam - webcam support soon to be available in  gaim-vv.
[06:27] <plunder> ic56, I don't know why there, but I don't think it really makes a diffrence
[06:27] <Dr_Willis> jcorz25_,  ive tried 3 webcams none of mine work.. sadly. May want to do some googling and research befor ya buy a new one.
[06:27] <Frogzoo> jcorz25_: I'm sure there must be hundreds
[06:27] <seba> witam, mam panowie problem z internetem
[06:27] <seba> moze mi ktos pomoc?
[06:27] <plunder> ic56, It's a normal HD
[06:27] <Frogzoo> seba: what language do you speak?
[06:27] <_jason> plunder: can you paste the mount command?
[06:27] <arrick> !english
[06:27] <ubotu> arrick: I don't know, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[06:27] <gnomefreak> i saw a post about intel chipset webcams (getting them working on ubuntu)
[06:27] <oskude> jcorz25_, this could help too https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[06:27] <_jason> plunder: and/or fstab on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[06:28] <arrick> seba: we dont understand your language
[06:28] <schloob> Frogzoo: ah, i've got it. thanks :)
[06:28] <gnomefreak> it was on ubuntuforums.org
[06:28] <ic56> plunder: this is wierd.  did you setup the mount yourself or did Ubuntu do it automatically?
[06:28] <seba> sprechen Sie Deutsch?
[06:28] <plunder> the mound commands are correct, as are the fstab stuff
[06:28] <oskude> !de
[06:28] <ubotu> Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu und Kubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de resp. #kubuntu-de
[06:28] <plunder> I did it myself with help from some people
[06:28] <_jason> plunder: ok, just wanted to make sure, but if you are confident that is not the problem, I don't know what else to try
[06:28] <jcorz25_> oskude: thanx
[06:29] <plunder> how can I send the problem over that //paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ ?
[06:29] <ic56> plunder: the commands may have been correct but if you don't tell us what commands you used, how can we help you?
[06:29] <plunder> I have my whole text ready, but there is no send buttom
[06:29] <plunder> one second I will copy paste them
[06:29] <_jason> plunder: the send button is up top next to name
[06:30] <plunder> sudo mount /dev/hdb5 /media/hd3 -t vfat -o umask=000
[06:30] <plunder> that was my command
[06:30] <_jason> plunder: is there anything in fstab?
[06:31] <plunder> _jason, all info is now on pastebin of the link you gave
[06:31] <plunder> also the fstab is there
[06:31] <ic56> plunder: what is that link please?
[06:31] <plunder> I pasted under the name "plunder" =)
[06:32] <plunder> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11055
[06:32] <arrick> Plunde thanks
[06:32] <arrick> plunder, thanks
[06:32] <GudyUbuntu_> VR_, I thought it would work ...
[06:32] <plunder> sorry for the crappy layout =)
[06:34] <_jason> plunder: got me, I'm stumped
[06:34] <twirpie> mkay i have all my audio and video setup and working great, i have burning cd and vcd all setup. pretty much all my multimedia needs are done. question is what else can i do with ubuntu?
[06:34] <GigaClon> anything you want
[06:34] <void^> plunder: does fdisk show hdb twice or is it just pasted twice?
[06:34] <xai> I installed 5.10 on a linux-certified laptop. When I start icewm, my virtual consoles go crazy when I go back. I can only see 2 lines of text, but i think getty is restarting in continously. I can still type "startx" from the originating console, but I can't ever get back to a stable console.
[06:35] <twirpie> been trying to get clamav to work even though i was told it wasnt needed but it says its a level 6 and level 7 is needed what do i do?
[06:35] <AnsiC> hello
[06:35] <GudyUbuntu_> VR_, but when running "make " (configure finaly worked), I'm getting this error : ffmpeg.c:49:44: erreur: libpostproc/postprocess.h : Aucun fichier ou rpertoire de ce t ype
[06:35] <GudyUbuntu_>  (which means no file or folder found of this type)
[06:35] <plunder> void^, pasted twice
[06:35] <plunder> going to reboot
[06:36] <void^> plunder: ok, check dmesg for device errors
[06:36] <AnsiC> i'm looking for a translator English-Italian that translate best compare to google
[06:36] <oskude> plunder, you could try to use "rw" (but should be default) in options "rw,umask=000"
[06:36] <AnsiC> google make a terrible tranlating
[06:36] <crimsun> GudyUbuntu_: is libpostproc-dev installed?
[06:36] <AnsiC> translating
[06:36] <ic56> plunder: what does `mount' say for the /dev/hdb5 ?
[06:36] <christophe> slt
[06:36] <GudyUbuntu_> crimsun, yeah I tried it, didn't work, also installed libpostproc0

[06:37] <twirpie> been trying to get clamav to work even though i was told it wasnt needed but it says its a level 6 and level 7 is needed. what do i do?
[06:37] <plunder> getting somewhere now =)
[06:37] <GudyUbuntu_> crimsun, VLC with UPnP AV support ... if you know where to get an i386 binary, I'll take it :)
[06:37] <gilianima> is there a command to run another command at a given time and during a given amount of time ?
[06:37] <Dr_Willis> 'at' another time ' at command'
[06:37] <oskude> plunder, are you using breezy ?
[06:38] <Dr_Willis> given amount of time - Not seen such a thing.
[06:38] <crimsun> GudyUbuntu_: upstream makes nightly binaries available
[06:38] <crimsun> GudyUbuntu_: click the 'beta' link
[06:38] <_jason> Dr_Willis: he can kill it with at after 10 minutes too, or just use sleep
[06:38] <Dr_Willis> twirpie,  you scanning your windows drives/network with clamv?
[06:38] <ic56> plunder: sounds like a corrupt filesystem.  umount it and try fsck on it.
[06:38] <GudyUbuntu_> crimsun, but I need this UPnP AV support ...
[06:38] <twirpie> tryin to install it
[06:38] <plunder> oskude, yes breezy

[06:40] <gilianima> Dr_Willis: how to do that;  run "ping <IP_ADDRESS>" at 18:45 during one minute ?
[06:40] <GudyUbuntu_> crimsun, : beta of? (are you talking of VLC?)
[06:40] <thomas> anyone know why my mplayer wont go fullscreen when i play a video in it it just stays small screen in buttomleft corner of my screen?
[06:40] <ic56> does anyone know how to make the taskbar icons smaller?
[06:40] <_jason> thomas: use xv as the video output
[06:40] <Dr_Willis> gilianima,  man ping  it has a count option
[06:40] <nathanj> how can i stop a application appearing in the window list?
[06:40] <crimsun> GudyUbuntu_: yes?
[06:41] <smetjen> didn't succeed to install a grub :(
[06:41] <GudyUbuntu_> crimsun, can't find this beta link ... I can get to a forum post, but there are windows / os x versions there ...
[06:42] <gilianima> Dr_Willis: ping was a simple example, i don't need it for the ping command especially, but for encode actually
[06:42] <plunder> ic56, see your pm
[06:42] <smetjen> someone speaks dutch?
[06:42] <crimsun> #ubuntu-nl
[06:43] <GudyUbuntu_> crimsun, I guess I found it ... developers website ...
[06:43] <ic56> plunder: I thought fsck would auto-detect the filesystem type but it didn't, or perhaps it doesn't know about FAT.  Try fsck -t vfat
[06:43] <arrick> Hey guys & gals, I used to have a vistaprint business card that i could attach in M$Outlook, but the progam to install is is a .exe, is there any way I can get this into Evolution mail?
[06:43] <oskude> plunder, you could try "dosfsck" on the partition...
[06:44] <arrick> plunder you could do a dos boot, and run chkdisk
[06:44] <shaya> so I've moved an old laptop from an old unstable to dapper.  Its working, but there are old unstable packages that have higher versions than dapper
[06:44] <shaya> anyway to list those?
[06:44] <shaya> i.e. in aptitude or something?
[06:45] <arrick> shaya, go to #ubuntu+1 for dapper support
[06:45] <crimsun> shaya: not easily [unless only Ubuntu's main was involved]
[06:46] <plunder> plunder@55pc202:/$ sudo dosfsck /dev/hdb5/

[06:46] <shaya> arrick: this isn't a dapper Q
[06:46] <shaya> I already did the transition
[06:46] <shaya> just need to list which packages didn't get transitioned
[06:46] <arrick> ok
[06:46] <shaya> i.e. which packages have a higher rev installed
[06:46] <twirpie> okay im trying to get clamav going just for giggles but i get this error when i clamfresh to update defanisions.....
[06:46] <shaya> is there a way to list that/
[06:46] <void^> plunder: /dev/hdb5 is not a directory
[06:46] <twirpie> ERROR: Can't open /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log in append mode (check permissions!).
[06:46] <Storkme> how can i make a program use gcc-3.4 instead of gcc-4.0 ?

[06:46] <ic56> plunder: remove the trailing slash.
[06:47] <trappist> twirpie: sudo freshclam
[06:47] <crimsun> shaya: again, not easily. There's probably deselect or apt-cache policy finagling that can be done, but it will require scripting.
[06:47] <twirpie> oh crap sorry :)
[06:47] <crimsun> dselect^
[06:47] <plunder> ic56, in your PM again (so I don't mess up the room)
[06:47] <twirpie> thanks trappist :)
[06:48] <shaya> hmm
[06:48] <arrick> Is there a Trig program out there for ubuntu that I can use for College?
[06:48] <Metallitux> anyone seen a driver for enabling the extra buttons on wireless m$ keyboard and mouse?
[06:49] <ic56> plunder: so, did fsck -t vfat exit immediately and you're showing me output from dosfsck?
[06:49] <Storkme> how can i compile with gcc-3.4 instead of 4.0?
[06:49] <arrick> something similar to the TI-83 Graphing Calculator?
[06:49] <trappist> arrick: there are ti calculator emulators for linux
[06:49] <void^> Storkme: try export CC=gcc-3.4
[06:49] <Dr_Willis> arrick,  chech freshmeat.net
[06:50] <arrick> ok
[06:50] <plunder> ic56, the fsck -t vfat was an accident, you may ignore that, this is output of dosfsck
[06:50] <mojojojo_> hi there

[06:51] <trappist> arrick: calcoo is pretty ok too
[06:51] <arrick> ok
[06:51] <ic56> plunder: well, dosfsck did find a problem in your boot sector and is now asking you what it should do.  Try 3 - no action.  If you're unlucky, you'll have to repeat this multiple times.  The object is to find out how badly damaged the filesystem is.
[06:51] <anika> hola
[06:53] <mojojojo_> At the moment I ran Ubuntu Gnome hangs for a couple of minutes doing nothing :(... I checke the CPU usage and it's not like anything is being processed, plus apps which I have running at autostart - they run immediately... What might be the cause? It looks as if some program is waiting for sth... Any ideas?
[06:53] <gabbah> is there a way to get the taskbar entires to have a fixed width instead of taking up all the space available?
[06:53] <gabbah> like in windows.
[06:53] <DBO> gabbah, you can set their size in their preferences
[06:54] <plunder> ic56, still one this message, but it's not done searching yet
[06:54] <ic56> plunder: if it turns out that the boot sector is the only problem, then make a backup copy of it with dd, re-run dosfsck, and tell it to overwrite it, this time, with the backup.  Then fsck again and, if no errors, mount it and see if things work.  If they don't restore the original boot sector from the copy you made with dd and try chkdsk under windows or try a commercial windows utility.
[06:54] <DBO> right click on the little bar... oh darn cant describe, its a little bar on the left of your first entry
[06:54] <DBO> and go to preferences
[06:54] <gabbah> DBO, i don't see no preference in the context menu?
[06:54] <plunder> ic56, yes only that problem is there
[06:55] <gabbah> DBO, found it
[06:55] <DBO> good, now tell me how to describe it...
[06:55] <arrick> Hey guys & gals, I used to have a vistaprint business card that i could attach in M$Outlook, but the progam to install is is a .exe, is there any way I can get this into Evolution mail?
[06:55] <plunder> ic56, I only have ubuntu atm (my windows was a bit really really really really broken)
[06:55] <ic56> plunder: well, seeing as you already overwrote the original boot sector.  Try dosfsck again -- are all problems gone?
[06:56] <gabbah> DBO, lol.. i think like you said was the best way actually :P
[06:56] <DBO> gabbah, I was afraid that was the case
[06:56] <plunder> ic56, nope =( I just installed ubuntu, I'm afraid the problem was already there when I was running windows
[06:56] <solid_liq> can I install a package built for debian on ubuntu?
[06:57] <DBO> yes
[06:57] <ic56> plunder: so the problem persists?
[06:57] <solid_liq> DBO: I should prefer one built for debian 3.1 over 3.0?
[06:57] <DBO> yes
[06:57] <arrick> plunder: are you trying to keep windows?
[06:57] <plunder> ic56, could it work to boot on a bootdisk of windows and do a chkdsk
[06:58] <arrick> plunder, yes
[06:58] <plunder> I have no windows anymore
[06:58] <arrick> plunder, so you are wiping the partitions right?
[06:58] <solid_liq> DBO: it's a package for kolab though, could that be a problem since it depends upon postfix, cyrus-imap, openldap, sasl and apache?
[06:58] <DBO> only if you dont already have those installed
[06:59] <LinuxNoob> How do I change Icons ?
[06:59] <oskude> solid_liq, AFAIK, ubuntu is based on debian unstable/sid ...
[06:59] <solid_liq> DBO: you don't think there'll be any version conflicts?
[06:59] <arrick> !icons
[06:59] <ubotu> If you have missing icons after upgrading to Breezy, change theme at System -> Preferences -> Theme
[06:59] <plunder> arrick, no I'm trying to mount a partition, bu it seems like the bootsector of that HD is broken
[06:59] <ic56> plunder: it is very difficult to help you if you don't tell us what is happening.  Does the problem persist when you run dosfsck again? Is it identical or is it now different?
[07:00] <DBO> solid_liq, the dependancies should include versions IIRC
[07:00] <arrick> use the windows boot disk and run chkdisk, it will tell you if the disk is any good anymore
[07:00] <DBO> (if it matters)
[07:00] <plunder> ic56, it is the same problem, is not solved
[07:00] <solid_liq> DBO: sweet, thanks!
[07:00] <ic56> plunder: it's not the bootsector of the HD but of the partition.  They are different things in different places on the disk.
[07:00] <DBO> solid_liq, have you considered using a repository instead?
[07:01] <arrick> ic56, is this a different disk alltogether, or is it an additional partition?
[07:01] <plunder> it is 1 partition on 1 diffrent HD
[07:01] <solid_liq> DBO: I don't know where I could find one for kolab.  Is there any way to search for one?
[07:01] <plunder> But I really gotta go now; I thank you all for your help!!!
[07:02] <arrick> are there other partitions that mount on the same drive?
[07:02] <plunder> (I'm already 1 hour late)
[07:02] <ic56> plunder: this makes no sense.  Let's recap.  You ran dosfsck on /dev/hdb5.  It said the boot sector differed from its backup copy and offered you a choice of options.  You chose to overwrite the master copy with the backup.  Thus the two should now be identical.  Now, you run dosfsck again and it *still* says the two are different ???
[07:02] <DBO> solid_liq, Im sure there is, just not sure how...
[07:02] <Se7h> o.0
[07:02] <plunder> ic56, yes
[07:02] <solid_liq> DBO: k, thanks
[07:02] <mumbles> ?
[07:03] <_harm> hi all, does some one know a way to get games, such as cs1.6, running without cedega?
[07:04] <oskude> plunder, and why do you have that partition as extended partition ?
[07:04] <Seveas> _harm, yes, use windows..
[07:04] <arrick> can I run thei chat room from a windows platform, Iw ant to work on my XP install, while I watch this chat and learn
[07:04] <_harm> ok.. thank you seveas... any other ideas that arnt useless?
[07:04] <jbroome> what?
[07:04] <plunder> Sory I have to go now =(
[07:05] <hedge> lol
[07:05] <arrick> later plunder
[07:05] <Seveas> _harm, it's either wine, cedega or windows.
[07:05] <ic56> plunder: if you're in a hurry, this is a bad time to be working on it.  You will be tempted to take shortcuts and will cause things to get worse.
[07:05] <plunder> thank you for your help!!
[07:05] <ic56> plunder: one more thing:
[07:05] <plunder> ic56, I was already meddling with this problem for a couple of hours
[07:05] <DBO> _harm... or if you could try vmware...
[07:05] <ic56> plunder: you could, instead of trying to repair it, just copy all the files into a different place, then just format the partition.
[07:06] <_harm> DBO.. ill try that
[07:06] <arrick> yeah, thats my suggestion
[07:06] <ic56> plunder: seeing as you are able to read-only mount.
[07:06] <DBO> _harm, it will be slow as all getout
[07:06] <plunder> =)
[07:06] <arrick> thanks ic56, I didnt want to interfere much more than I already had
[07:07] <plunder> ic56, thank you for your advise, I'll take it with me. Sounds like a good option (tho as last resort) and thank you for all other advise you gave!
[07:07] <plunder> gone now
[07:07] <_harm> DBO i dont want it to be slow :S
[07:08] <DBO> then the only options are Wine, Cedega (wich you can compile from CVS for free), or Windows...
[07:08] <DBO> sorry
[07:08] <arrick> can I run thei chat room from a windows platform, Iw ant to work on my XP install, while I watch this chat and learn
[07:08] <jbroome> arrick: yes, there are windows irc clients
[07:09] <Seveas> arrick, sure, get x-chat for windows
[07:09] <twirpie> deb http://ubuntu.tower-net.de/ubuntu hoary how do i add this from the terminal?
[07:09] <_harm> DBO free cedega? thats intresting.. anyplace ican read up on that?
[07:09] <jbroome> or hydrairc
[07:09] <DBO> yes, in the forums
[07:09] <DBO> lemme see if I can find the linkers
[07:09] <hawaisurf> hi! what about to install skype on ubuntu? I read somewhere that one have to mess with the kernel....can I fix it easy somehow?
[07:09] <_harm> DBO much appreciated :)
[07:10] <oskude> twirpie, its for hoary, are you using hoary ?
[07:10] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell hawaisurf about skype
[07:10] <jbroome> !skype
[07:10] <ubotu> skype is probably http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeHowto/ Breezy deb: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages/
[07:10] <twirpie> yes
[07:10] <gnomefreak> hawaisurf: use the deb link
[07:10] <twirpie> i need to add to source.list
[07:10] <oskude> twirpie, omg, ok the "lines" are stored in /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:10] <rambo3> gnomefreak any idea on dapper upgrade that i posted in ubuntu+1 ?
[07:10] <gnomefreak> twirpie: it is not recommended to use it instead use Seveas repo
[07:10] <gnomefreak> rambo3: hold on let me see it
[07:11] <Seveas> gnomefreak, I heard skype fixed their .deb
[07:11] <hawaisurf> gnomefreak: ok thx.
[07:11] <twirpie> seveas repo? whats that?
[07:11] <DBO> _harm
[07:11] <DBO> http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wiwimod/index.php?page=HOWTO+Cedega+CVS&back=HOWTO+INDEX+Wine

[07:12] <arrick> seveas
[07:13] <gnomefreak> twirpie: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:13] <twirpie> thx
[07:13] <sfar> "and does things like "echo -e 'y\nY\n'" that are considered risky" <- what does that echoing-thing do? (automatix)
[07:13] <oskude> twirpie, you need root rights outside your home directory so use "sudo" before your command (or gksudo;)
[07:13] <intelikey> E: totem could not start.             trying to play *.mpg
[07:13] <arrick> for super user do
[07:13] <LinuxNoob> If i want to extract a tar file to the folder: usr/share/themes    What do I write?
[07:13] <intelikey> is this a common thing ?
[07:14] <Falstius> sfar, it assumes those are the correct answers to whatever question might being asked.  the echo feeds in the characters as input.
[07:14] <gnomefreak> Seveas: is playboy repo still down?
[07:14] <oskude> LinuxNoob, sure you need to extract that file ? try dragging the file to the theme manager
[07:14] <GNU_Style> gnomefreak, theres a playboy repo?
[07:14] <Seveas> gnomefreak, not down at all
[07:14] <tristanmike> !tar
[07:14] <gnomefreak> i cant seem to pull nothing from it
[07:14] <GNU_Style> really?
[07:14] <GNU_Style> wats in there?
[07:15] <tristanmike> !tell LinuxNoob about tar
[07:15] <gnomefreak> ok let me see what i can do here than
[07:15] <intelikey> i've got w32codecs installed,  why cant totem start ?
[07:15] <Seveas> gnomefreak, errors->pastebin
[07:15] <LinuxNoob> oskude, : Not this 1 :(

[07:15] <GNU_Style> porn software?
[07:15] <tristanmike> LinuxNoob: just check you're pm from ubotu for all the tarry goodness
[07:15] <gnomefreak> Seveas: i will when i get them again
[07:15] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell GNU_Style about Seveas
[07:15] <oskude> LinuxNoob, you should have got a pm from ubot about tar, read it
[07:16] <idefix> is it already possible to use your webcam live with GAIM?
[07:16] <GNU_Style> gnomefreak, wat has playboy have to do with that?
[07:16] <intelikey> trying to use vlc it returns "could not add application to application database"   ?
[07:16] <gnomefreak> GNU_Style: its the name of the repo not naked women
[07:16] <DBO> idefix, not yet
[07:17] <julian> Hi. Whenever I restart to WinXP after rebooting from Ubuntu, XP crashes in the user logon screen... any ideas?
[07:17] <GNU_Style> gnomefreak, ohh
[07:17] <intelikey> julian power off first.
[07:17] <intelikey> julian soft reboot doesn't clear all code from ram.
[07:17] <gnomefreak> ok it was only erroring with that one package :( i will open synaptic in a few and try again
[07:18] <LinuxNoob> oskude, : ok but if i want to files extracted to a folder...   /user/share/themes ?
[07:19] <julian> thanks intelikey but I used to be able a few months ago, then I formatted, reinstalled ubuntu, and now I have this problem
[07:19] <arrick> LinuxNoob, cd /user/share/themes
[07:19] <arrick> then perform the extraction
[07:19] <tristanmike> LinuxNoob: you need to use "sudo"
[07:19] <intelikey> somebody tell me why .mpg files wont play ?
[07:19] <arrick> no plugins
[07:19] <ompaul> !tell intelikey about restricted
[07:19] <intelikey> arrick which plugin ?
[07:19] <arrick> ubutu: tell intelikey about restricted
[07:20] <oskude> LinuxNoob, doesnt just adding the dir where to extract as the last argument work ? man page says about "-c /path/where/to/extract/"
[07:20] <tristanmike> LinuxNoob: the only way to write to any folder outside of your /home folder you must use "sudo" however, there is a "themes" folder in your home folder, but it's "/.themes"  notice the "." that means it's hidden
[07:20] <arrick> did it post to you intelikey ?
[07:20] <arrick> ompaul, thanks
[07:20] <gnomefreak> anyone know how to use the quote function in sylpheed gtk2?
[07:21] <LinuxNoob> tristanmike, : so how do i copy it there?
[07:21] <Stormx2> how can i tell what apps are using the net?
[07:21] <tristanmike> LinuxNoob: so if you "show hidden files and folders" you should see it, and you can install your themes there, there is also one called "/.icons"
[07:21] <hedge> I have been trying to get Kino to work with my camcorder on ieee 1394, I read in the forums that only root could access the 1394, so tried Kino as root and still can not connect to the camers. Has anyone had the same trouble or know of a work around?
[07:21] <ompaul> arrick, well there was a somebody there
[07:21] <arrick> ok
[07:21] <intelikey> no.  ompaul beet you to it.  but that is not what i'm asking about.  i know about w32codecs i have them installed.   why cant vlc or totem open ?
[07:22] <intelikey> arrick ^
[07:22] <tristanmike> LinuxNoob: I missed it, is it just a tar? or a tar.gz or tar.bz2, sorry I missed it above and can't locate
[07:22] <arrick> intelikey, it was ompaul that
[07:22] <arrick> ok sorry
[07:22] <gnomefreak> crap 13hours:(
[07:22] <LinuxNoob> tristanmike, : tar.gz
[07:22] <UsefulIdiot> Anyone familiar with dual booting ubuntu and osx on ppc?
[07:23] <baconbacon> pers. i use gxine for videos w/ w32codecs
[07:23] <Stormx2> How can I check what applications are using the internet?
[07:23] <gnomefreak> !dualboot
[07:23] <ubotu> hmm... dualboot is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WindowsDualBootHowTo
[07:23] <gnomefreak> ^^^ you should find it there
[07:23] <UsefulIdiot> Im on an ibook
[07:23] <oskude> Stormx2, one way could be: netstat --inet -pa
[07:23] <LinuxNoob> ah...fixed :D
[07:23] <LinuxNoob> tnx guys
[07:24] <tristanmike> LinuxNoob: so you change directory to where the tar.gz is, and you would type "tar -xvzf filename /home/<usrname>/.themes
[07:24] <tristanmike> "
[07:24] <arrick> thanks tristanmike, I needed that yesterday
[07:24] <wizardyoung> I need help,when I play rmvb files useing realplayer10,why no audio?
[07:24] <tristanmike> LinuxNoob: err.... you would type "tar -xvzf filename.tar.gz /home/<usrname>/.themes" rather
[07:25] <Stormx2> I have something called "wish" open o.O apparently
[07:25] <tristanmike> !tell arrick about tar
[07:25] <Stormx2> oh its amsn
[07:25] <ompaul> UsefulIdiot https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot
[07:25] <tristanmike> arrick: check you pm for a quick tar guide
[07:25] <frank23> I had a bug on Malone that disappeared. It's not in the reported by me list anymore. What could have happened?
[07:26] <LinuxNoob> So the home directory is the folder where I should put all my files, mp3, divx, avi etc ?
[07:26] <Stormx2> LinuxNoob: Depends
[07:26] <Stormx2> LinuxNoob: Usually, yes, unless you use another drive to store mp3s and videos (like I do)
[07:26] <gnomefreak> frank23: if it was duplicate it might not be by you anymore i would search the bug list for like (gnome bugs or xserver bugs) whatever your app bug was
[07:27] <ompaul> gnomefreak, dualboot now includes mac :-)
[07:27] <folki> hi, can anybody help me what codec or plugin I have to install if I want to play .wmv files?
[07:27] <gnomefreak> ty ompaul
[07:27] <arrick> tristanmike, I already had that, however, I didnt know how to change the directory, cause I was to lazy to read all of it
[07:27] <oskude> !wmv
[07:27] <ubotu> I heard restricted is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats  Most of the formats listed here can be replaced by !FreeFormats
[07:27] <LinuxNoob> Stormx2, : Ok but I only got 1 drive
[07:27] <ompaul> folki, ^^^
[07:27] <arrick> brb
[07:28] <folki> ?
[07:28] <ompaul> folki, read up the screen a few lines
[07:28] <tristanmike> LinuxNoob: so you might want to create folders in your home directory, that is /home/<username>  as opposed to just /home
[07:28] <intelikey> oss error: cannot open audio device (/dev/dsp)
[07:28] <intelikey> main error: couldn't find a filter for the conversion
[07:28] <intelikey> main error: couldn't set an output pipeline
[07:28] <VR_> whats a good terminal/text-based file browser?
[07:28] <intelikey> there it is.
[07:29] <ic56> How do I make taskbar icons (ideally all icons) smaller?
[07:29] <tristanmike> LinuxNoob: in that case with one drive, home is pretty much where you want to keep everything
[07:29] <intelikey> now why is it doing that ?
[07:29] <gnomefreak> VR_: i use whatever terminal im in atm
[07:29] <Stormx2> LinuxNoob: Put it in your home then
[07:29] <frank23> gnomefreak: yeah it was a duplicate. I had actually referenced the other bug report but I thought it should be different because my bug was in breezy and the other in dapper. It's still annoying that I have to find it again. something should have aleerted me of that in Malone
[07:29] <VR_> gnomefreak: you're too hardcore
[07:29] <gnomefreak> cd <dir> than ls to view files or ls -a and depends what i would like to do from there
[07:30] <carbo> hi, I can't seem to access any URLs that have two consecutive dashes (http://blah--.blah.com)... how do I fix this?
[07:30] <gnomefreak> frank23: if you keep track of the numbers search the number and it will show you iirc malone is still being worked on so that might be something they will have
[07:30] <intelikey> anybody hip on this audio error ?
[07:31] <LinuxNoob> But why doesn't the themes I stored in /.themes show in  System->Preferences->themes ?
[07:31] <ic56> ic
[07:32] <intelikey> ok if not what app do you use/recomend for viewing .mpg ?
[07:33] <tristanmike> LinuxNoob: they should if you restart it
[07:33] <niki> how do i check to make sure i have the newest version of java?
[07:33] <intelikey> help sure is easier to get at night!
[07:34] <ompaul> intelikey,  mplayer and why do you think you should irc as root? please quit and come back as an ordinary user
[07:34] <tristanmike> LinuxNoob: did you know that the "themes" program you are talking about can do the installing for you, just click on "Install Themes" and it will extract and install for you, accepts "tar, tar.gz and tar.bz2" if I'm not mistaken, so you don't need to do the extracting yourself, if you like to however then go for it but it's not needed :)
[07:34] <intelikey> ompaul if i was root i would.
[07:35] <ompaul> hehe
[07:35] <niki> can anyone tell me how to make sure that i have the newest version of java installed?
[07:35] <LinuxNoob> tristanmike, : Extract to ~/.themes
[07:35] <LinuxNoob> because the gnome-theme-manager may not install all themes from the tarball.
[07:35] <ompaul> intelikey, its what your whois says about you
[07:36] <folki> I have instaled all gstreamer plugins but I always cannot play .wmv files
[07:36] <gnomefreak> hes right it does say root
[07:36] <intelikey> i know.      is it mplayer-<arc>  ?
[07:36] <gnomefreak> yes
[07:36] <intelikey> k
[07:36] <gnomefreak> mplayer-386
[07:36] <carbo> why can't I access any URLs with two consecutive dashes?
[07:36] <gnomefreak> or whatever arch
[07:37] <tristanmike> LinuxNoob: really, not from just a tar..? that's weird, but yeah, extract to that place you said
[07:37] <intelikey> crap that's huge.   dl 18m on dialup.
[07:37] <Dr_Willis> carbo,  access with what program?
[07:37] <gnomefreak> folki: you need w32codecs
[07:37] <tristanmike> LinuxNoob: you may need to click on Theme Details to select your "theme" sometimes they say "theme" but usually it's just a "window boarder" or "controls" something like that
[07:37] <folki> I have installed w32codecs
[07:37] <ic56> carbo: give us an example of such a URL.  And which browser exhibits the problem?
[07:38] <carbo> Dr_Willis: firefox. It says it can't find the server
[07:38] <tristanmike> LinuxNoob: it took me a while and an awful lot of installed "themes" to realize that :P
[07:38] <Dr_Willis> carbo,  and the url is?
[07:38] <DaSkreec1> helo
[07:38] <alteroo> quiet!!
[07:39] <alteroo> thats whats making the noise!
[07:39] <Maniqui> what is exactly the "chainloader+1" in the GRUB file?
[07:39] <carbo> err lets see
[07:40] <quellhorst> how can i install http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/web/lighttpd ?
[07:40] <quellhorst> do i need to change my apt sources?
[07:40] <Dr_Willis> Maniqui,  tells grub to load that drives mbr and pass controll to it. i think
[07:40] <LinuxNoob> tristanmike, : It didn't have a index.theme file.... maybe thats why it's so messy?
[07:41] <Maniqui> Dr_Willis, could it be related with the crashes that I have when choosing WinXP *after* rebooting from Ubuntu?
[07:41] <gnomefreak> how do you unidentify yourself from freenode without losing connection?
[07:41] <ompaul> quellhorst, you should be running dapper for that, if your not then you take a risk with it, and dapper is dev software and talk about it you should be in #unbutun+1
[07:41] <Dr_Willis> Maniqui,  i doubt it

[07:44] <ubotu> it has been said that hu is Ha magyarul beszelsz kerlek probald a #debian.hu -t.
[07:44] <LinuxNoob> tristanmike, : Most of the theme on the site I'm looking at are uncool..... but many nice icons..... Do I install them the same way?
[07:44] <nickrud> eh, #debian.hu?
[07:44] <ompaul> quellhorst, so if you can run unstable dapper go ahead if you can't wait until the release if you want to take a chance you might get that package to run on 5.10 but frankly I would wait until it dapper is released
