[12:01] <jrib> !icons > liorsolomon    (liorsolomon, see the private message from ubotu)
[12:01] <jrib> !ask | dimas
[12:01] <ubotu> dimas: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:01] <bipolar> bobbyd: I'm sorry, I've never played with the ppc version :\
[12:02] <harry__> a radeon 7000
[12:02] <dimas>  I was editing a video with avidemux and the system end up with no sound...restart the computer and still doesnt work...what should i do?...
[12:02] <addam1> i seen a video online where mark shuttleworth wrote his phone number on a black board
[12:02] <addam1> and said if you have any questions call me
[12:02] <abo> whenever someone logs in to Skype, ubuntu freezes for 5-10 seconds, anyone seen this issue?
[12:02] <jrib> !offtopic | addam1
[12:02] <ubotu> addam1: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[12:03] <bofh80> harry__, well you should be OK for fiesty, but i would wait for the release if you haven't updated already
[12:03] <addam1> sorry jrib
[12:03] <delphiuk> Hi, if I want to run a command on startup in Ubuntu server, where should I put it?
[12:03] <bofh80> abo, that's a Skype problem i do believe
[12:03] <bofh80> abo, do you leave it running all day?
[12:03] <abo> bofh80, any known fix?
[12:03] <iain_> hey all
[12:03] <abo> bofh80, yes
[12:04] <bofh80> abo, skype haven't updated their linux ver in ages
[12:04] <bofh80> abo, yes skype memory leaks and all sorts, leaving it running is a bad idea
[12:04] <dimas> di you guys hide?
[12:04] <bofh80> abo, i use it for hours at a time, but theni close it
[12:04] <ada`ubuntu_> delphiuk, make a script in /etc/init.d and either mainually (to rc2.d) or with uptade-rc.d you can add it to startup
[12:04] <abo> ok
[12:04] <iain_> can I ask if there are any kgods in here who know something about resolution? Ggods would do fine too.
[12:04] <eternaljoy> dimas: yes
[12:05] <dimas> in the bushes
[12:05] <Insolit> what's the difference between breezy, edgy and other debian dists?
[12:05] <apokryphos> Insolit: /msg ubotu debian
[12:05] <jrib> delphiuk: ada`ubuntu_ 's suggestion or /etc/rc.local would do or use crontab with @reboot
[12:05] <dimas> i can slmell the smoke
[12:05] <iain_> As I do with every computer within arms reach (look out mac users - you have been warned. I term installing 'Ubuntu' on a working mac 'fixing' it)
[12:05] <st00ner> ok i grepped /var/log/dmesg but i couldnt find kernel crash logs
[12:06] <Bondina> helloy guys
[12:06] <delphiuk> thanks
[12:06] <st00ner> i have greped almost every log in /var/log to no success
[12:06] <iain_> so I happily have installed it on my new Dell Latitude D420
[12:06] <bofh80> Insolit, they are names, for their Stable, Testing, and Unstable distributions
[12:06] <Bondina> i have a problem can anybody help me with ubuntu linux ?
[12:06] <Insolit> and what is the name for stable?
[12:06] <iain_> (which btw I got from Dell without Windows :-D and with a reduction on that account)
[12:06] <jexdawg13> my frostwire will open and then annoyingly close (for no reason) a few seconds later. so i'm looking for a different p2p software... what else is good out there? what do you guys recommend?
[12:06] <delphiuk> do i need a script if it is only one command?
[12:06] <iain_> Anyway the issue is this:
[12:06] <bofh80> Bondina, that's why everyone is here, ask away
[12:06] <iain_> The laptop is supposed to have quite a high native resolution (forget exactly what it was)
[12:06] <jrib> delphiuk: it's up to you
[12:06] <jexdawg13> !ask | bonida
[12:06] <ubotu> bonida: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:06] <iain_> but all I'm getting in uuntu/kubuntu is a low resolution.
[12:07] <jrib> jexdawg13: gtk-gnutella
[12:07] <bofh80> jexdawg13, i install wine, use wincfg set to windows 98 and download aresgalaxy.sf.net :P
[12:07] <iain_> anyone have any ideas why? or how to fix?
[12:07] <Insolit> bofh80: what's the name for the stable release?
[12:07] <jexdawg13> bofh80, that sounds overly complicated, but i do love ares. jrib, thanks, i'll check it out
[12:07] <bofh80> Insolit, last time i looked it was sarge
[12:07] <Bondina> my graphiccard st an ati radeon 9200 se with 128 from gigabite.. and i cant activate 3d acceleration !! i dont know how :(( please help me someone
[12:08] <krel> Bondina: welcome to ATI on linux
[12:08] <iain_> I read something about installing 915resolutions ................
[12:08] <iain_> ?
[12:08] <eternaljoy> i have a 120gig hard drive.  If I get an 40gig external usb hard drive, can I make a copy of the 25gig used space on my initial hard drive unto the external hard drive?  Can I also backed up the internal hard drives boot sectors etc unto the external hard drive?
[12:08] <jrib> !fixres > iain_    (iain_, see the private message from ubotu)
[12:08] <iain_> Gave it a shot.........edited the file as it said......
[12:08] <iain_> nothing happened.
[12:08] <Bondina> hehe thx krel :) can you please help me
[12:08] <iain_> well except an error with my bluetooth adaptors class that went away....
[12:08] <iain_> Thank you!
[12:08] <Bondina> maybe private :c)
[12:08] <krel> Bondina: no... that's why I said welcome to ATI on linux
[12:09] <bofh80> jexdawg13, yes, but as IT guy i need some windows apps. you use Synaptic, install WINE, then run winecfg in a terminal to set to 98. you should be able to RUN the ares setup when you download it, and then an ICON might just appear in the MENU for it :P
[12:09] <Bondina> lol ok
[12:09] <Insolit> bofh80: no sarge :(
[12:09] <Bondina> i need really help
[12:09] <thunkt> Bondina: Krel's telling you it can't be done.
[12:09] <jexdawg13> bofh80 - i love you. i'm going to do that now. hope i don't break ... everything.
[12:09] <iain_> don't think that's the problem Jrib! but thanks for your help. Rebooting doesn't fix it. CTRL+ALT + backspace doesn't fix it....
[12:09] <jexdawg13> why do i need to set it to win 98 though?
[12:09] <Bondina> why cant be done yet ?
[12:09] <iain_> I think it's an issue with the D420
[12:09] <jrib> Bondina: have you visited the wiki page about ATI?
[12:10] <jrib> iain_: how about the other suggestions?
[12:10] <bofh80> jexdawg13, every other P2p app sucks, :) that's why i bother :P
[12:10] <krel> because ATI's closed-source drivers are garbage, and the open source drivers aren't much better.
[12:10] <Bondina> oh
[12:10] <bofh80> jexdawg13, oh Ares only works if it's set to Win98
[12:10] <jrib> !ati > Bondina    (Bondina, see the private message from ubotu)
[12:10] <jexdawg13> bofh80, and the new ares version (2.0.8) should work, yes? the pretty one?
[12:10] <bofh80> wine doesn't seem very compatible with xp or 2000 apps, but set to windows 98 and everything seems to work fine.
[12:10] <liorsolomon> anyone knows how can I prevent from my ubuntu to place an icon on the desktop everytime i create a mounted drive
[12:11] <liorsolomon> ?
[12:11] <bofh80> jexdawg13, yes i run it
[12:11] <Bondina> thx jrib
[12:11] <albacker> can i use KINO for editing mpg/avi files ?!
[12:11] <jexdawg13> alright, cool bof. i'll let you know how it goes.
[12:11] <jrib> liorsolomon: read the message I had ubotu send you
[12:11] <bofh80> jexdawg13, cool :)
[12:11] <Bondina> thanks
[12:11] <Bondina> i try it
[12:11] <bofh80> Insolit, version 3.1 is still current, and afaik tohe codename is Sarge
[12:12] <crippen> hello

[12:13] <alekz> hi, i have samba running under suse, and i have 8 ubuntu workstations, the problem is that ubuntu is not saving the password and every 15 minutes samba asks for it, how can i fix that
[12:13] <crippen> i am using the vlc player and watching something the picuter is great but the sound somtimes turns off and then on again
[12:13] <screevo> I have copied the Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Server CD to /media/ubuntu. What do I add to /etc/apt/sources.list to use that DIR as a repository?
[12:13] <bofh80> alekz, LOL that must be damned annoying. sorry i can't help you :(
[12:13] <dimas> is there anybody to haelp with the sound system...whent down
[12:13] <dimas>  I was editing a video with avidemux and the system end up with no sound...restart the computer and still doesnt work...what should i do?...
[12:14] <Ryan__> how do i use gnome with root permissions?
[12:14] <OrTigaS> why when i played rmvb files from realplayer it always stop?
[12:14] <jrib> !root > Ryan__    (Ryan__, see the private message from ubotu)
[12:14] <jrib> screevo: you want to specifically use it from your HD?  You know that you can use it from the cd directly?
[12:14] <thunkt> jrib = botmaster :P
[12:14] <screevo> THis is a server
[12:14] <screevo> I can't leave the CD in the drive
[12:14] <screevo> because if I ever need to reboot it
[12:15] <screevo> remotely, that is
[12:15] <bofh80> Ryan__, i think you should describe what you want to do otherwise sudo passwd  will set root pass. then log in as root. running X as root is dumb, don't do anyhting on the net with it.
[12:15] <jrib> screevo: why even use the cd instead of the online repositories?
[12:15] <screevo> it will go to the "Boot from CD" and stay there. :-D
[12:15] <crippen> i am playing avi files on vlc player and the sound turns off and crapple and finally the sound works couple minutes and then it do it again
[12:15] <crippen> i am using ubuntu 6.10
[12:15] <iain_> jrib> thanks restarted KDM via command line to see if it would help
[12:15] <bofh80> crippen, is this just with VLC?
[12:15] <iain_> Jrib> so I missed the other suggestions
[12:15] <plb> this sucks...my mouse is broken lol
[12:15] <plb> can't do much
[12:15] <screevo> Well, I guess here's question two: Are all the packages on the CD also in the online repositories?
[12:16] <jrib> iain_: the important part in the message was the wiki link, it's a page full of troubleshooting info for resolution problems
[12:16] <jrib> !fixres > iain_    (iain_, see the private message from ubotu)
[12:16] <crippen> i dont know  because i only know that vlc can play avi files
[12:16] <crippen> havent try with another program
[12:16] <eternaljoy> I have an internal 120gig hard drive that contains about 25gig of data, including an ubuntu ext3 partition, and 2 NTFS partitions.  How can I make a mirror backup, including boot sectors etc unto an external 40 gig USB hard drive?
[12:16] <plb> pity vlc is going qt
[12:16] <indotel> i need people speark spanish
[12:16] <jrib> screevo: yes, and the repositories get security updates ;)
[12:16] <indotel> hi emanuel
[12:16] <slvmchn> plb: why is that a pity? i didn't know that but why is that a bad thing?
[12:16] <screevo> Well, I'll just rely on Apt-get then. Thanks.
[12:16] <eternaljoy> plb: qt?

[12:17] <jexdawg13> bodh80, i installed wine via synaptic, ran winecfg, set it it to win98,  then doubleclicked the ares installation and it said it couldn't handle the file. should i just cd ~/Desktop and then "wine aresregular208_installer.exe" ?

[12:18] <Mirth> I accidentally deleted my Panel, and added back everything besides the Network Manager, cause I can't find it.
[12:19] <st00ner> nothing there :[
[12:19] <jexdawg13> oh crap i forgot what my nick was jrib. i got confused, haha. i thought i was bert in irc

[12:19] <iltomee> hi, does anyone know about an ffmpeg channel around here?
[12:19] <SmileyLap> can anyone help me setting up firestarter to internet connection share?
[12:19] <jrib> jexdawg13: you can just /msg ubotu FACTOID    and he will respond with the info (this way it reduces traffic in the main channel).  A good one to learn about ubotu is:  /msg ubotu ubotu
[12:20] <jrib> iain_: #ffmpeg
[12:20] <jrib> iltomee: #ffmpeg

[12:20] <slvmchn> i've been getting an error in the last few days. i changed my gnome-panel so instead of applications etc. menus, i have one drop-down menu with all the submenus within it. however, now as soon as i click the dropdown menu it opens, but a bug buddy opens with this error: http://rafb.net/p/eQfYX947.html  and then gnome-panel resets. this just started happening and i have no explanation for why, i didn't change anything for it to start do
[12:20] <slvmchn> ing this
[12:20] <Bondina> look my ubuntu was hacked by kevin mitnick

[12:22] <gg> is there any full tutorial on how to setup it/
[12:22] <gg> ?
[12:22] <Slart> gg: all you need for router ability is iptables.. and almost all linux distros has that
[12:22] <jrib> Ryan__: did you read the link ubotu sent you?
[12:22] <slvmchn> jrib: not sure, i'll have to make another user to do it... if it does/doesn't do you have any advice either way?
[12:22] <Ryan__> no
[12:22] <slvmchn> is there a gnome-panel reset somewhere?
[12:22] <jrib> Ryan__: why not?
[12:22] <slvmchn> although i'd rather not lose all my shortcuts
[12:22] <jexdawg13> bofh80. yeah, when i run it is has tons of errors, but i guess thats expected. i'm downloading jimmy buffet songs for my mom right now. so... woowee. question though - it created an icon on my desktop called "Ares.lnk" - what is .lnk?

[12:24] <Slart> gg: it's the same procedure for almost all distros since it uses iptables.. there are lots and lots of tutorials out there
[12:24] <jexdawg13> it didn't create an icon anywhere in my ubuntu menu bofh80. should i just create a custom launcher and have the command be ... uh.... well i don't know?
[12:24] <Bondina> i just go crazy here
[12:24] <gg> thanks
[12:24] <jrib> slvmchn: does changing the menu to the original one make the problem go away?

[12:27] <Slart> gg: eh.. you have installed ubuntu and it's not booting alright?
[12:27] <kaushal> ok
[12:27] <slvmchn> is there a file i can edit somewhere to take it out
[12:27] <jrib> slvmchn: try the new user
[12:27] <gg> not installed yet
[12:27] <Bondina> i like kevin mitnick
[12:27] <plb> K_Dallas, isn't that for Debian?
[12:27] <EnsignRedshirt> Is there a reason why the *-updates repositories are not listed at packages.ubuntu.com?
[12:27] <slvmchn> jrib: i can't MAKE a new user, i can't get to the menu
[12:27] <ada`ubuntu> plb, guessed so but what generic optimized for? everything that runs Ubuntu? (486+?)
[12:27] <kaushal> any one here has better explanation
[12:27] <gg> when i put the cd and boot from it
[12:27] <K_Dallas> pld, yes but i got redirected to it from a ubuntu discusion
[12:27] <gg> the boot menu appear
[12:27] <kaushal> to my question
[12:27] <jexdawg13> bofh80 - got it. have a launcher up now to ares.exe
[12:27] <jrib> slvmchn: ctrl-alt-f1 will get you to a terminal (alt-f7 will bring you back to X)
[12:27] <Slart> gg: ok.. I'm not to up to date on the install procedure any more.. been a while since I did it.. perhaps someone else can talk you through it
[12:27] <LinuxProbie> Can anyone give me wireless help on an install of Fiesty?
[12:27] <jrib> slvmchn: gnome-panel will die soon, it should restart forever
[12:28] <plb> ada`ubuntu, more or less yep...just generic
[12:28] <K_Dallas> plb, so it doesn't install ubuntu :(
[12:28] <jrib> *shoundn't*
[12:28] <crdlb> LinuxProbie, #ubuntu+1
[12:28] <an> if i use beryl and want to play games with transgaming, will beryl use resourses when im in game ?
[12:28] <gg> last thing of these i have
[12:28] <plb> K_Dallas, there is a windows based ubuntu installer in the works
[12:28] <bofh80> jexdawg13, did you associtate it with WINE? you can do this by tpying in wine at the bottom where it asks for a custom command
[12:28] <K_Dallas> plb, good to know
[12:28] <bofh80> jexdawg13, after you double click it on i mean
[12:28] <Slart> an: ask in the beryl channel
[12:28] <slvmchn> jrib: i added the normal dropdown menu in the middle of the bar, it loads up to that and then dies
[12:28] <K_Dallas> thanks
[12:28] <LinuxProbie> crdlb: Huh?
[12:28] <plb> K_Dallas, there is a big thread in feisty forums
[12:28] <crdlb> LinuxProbie, ask in #ubuntu+1
[12:28] <Slart> an: but probably..  =)
[12:28] <bofh80> K_Dallas, that is one of hte funniest sites i've ever seen
[12:28] <an> ok ;)
[12:29] <slvmchn> jrib: hold on, i'm gonna try logging in under xubuntu and making a new user
[12:29] <iain_> I'm going to give up on my resolution for a while now jrib. Scratching my head a lot....problem for tomorrow maybie :)
[12:29] <gg> BUG  Unable To Handle Kernel NULL
[12:29] <jrib> iain_: what card do you have?
[12:29] <Slart> an: I kind of think that tremulous runs slower while beryl is running in the background.. but it might be just me imagining things
[12:29] <iain_> ubuntu with too low resolution still beats M$ hands down. :-D
[12:29] <K_Dallas> plb, I see. but if i boot from ubuntu DVD on a xp+vista system, would my previous OSes remain intact and usable under ubuntu (grub) ?
[12:29] <jexdawg13> bofh80 - i just prefaced the command with wine, so the actual command is     wine /home/bert/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Ares/Ares.exe   and it runs fine
[12:29] <gg> any one can help?
[12:29] <bofh80> jexdawg13, heheheheh cool
[12:30] <mikebeecham> Hi There, can I ask a question about Twinview please?  Can twinview be configured so that I have a clone of my desktop going to my TV, and be able to run video in fullscreen through that Clone?
[12:30] <plb> K_Dallas, never tried it but I wouldn't see why not as long as you format those partitions
[12:30] <jexdawg13> bofh80 - is it possible to make it so when i click on a file in ares it will open it in rhythymbox automatically?
[12:30] <dimas> i do have a problem with the sound and dont know if is a hardware or a software problem...is there anybody there that manage the subjet?
[12:30] <gg> where is the customer services ^^
[12:30] <Slart> K_Dallas: I worked for me.. I got grub options for booting windows 2000 when I installed ubuntu
[12:30] <K_Dallas> plb, you mean the partition left unallocated for Ubuntu
[12:30] <slvmchn_> ok jrib, i'm in xfce, it loads alright
[12:30] <plb> K_Dallas, I mean don't format the xp and vista partitions lol
[12:30] <K_Dallas> ok ;)
[12:30] <bofh80> jexdawg13, aww i just rescan with RhythmBox lol. i never tried that
[12:30] <Muninn> How can you copy something from one partition of a HDD to another in Ubuntu? As in two seperate installs of Ubuntu on different partitions. They don't seem to be able to see the other partitions.
[12:30] <slvmchn_> is there no config file for gnome-panel that i can just directly edit?
[12:31] <jrib> dimas: just ask your question every 15 minutes or so, asking for "someone to help" is counterproductive and will usually not get you someone to help
[12:31] <K_Dallas> Slart, i have read that vista is bit trickier than 2000 or xp
[12:31] <plb> K_Dallas, I believe Windows must be in the 1 portion of the partition table
[12:31] <plb> windows then linux
[12:31] <K_Dallas> plb, as usual ;)
[12:31] <jexdawg13> bofh80 - yeah, thats fine with me. thanks for all your help!
[12:31] <plb> it's picky like that
[12:31] <jrib> Muninn: mount the other partition
[12:31] <bofh80> jexdawg13, i didn't bother Playin in windows with ARES either, so not osmething i bothered with, i wish they'd REMOVE the media player options in ares to make it simpler :P
[12:31] <dimas> really?
[12:31] <slvmchn_> dimas: i usually ask a question, then if nobody responds in a good half hour or so, just hit the up key and enter and repaste my question
[12:31] <Muninn> jrib: How'd you do that?
[12:31] <sirkism> what programming languages do you think would be helpful in using ubuntu or any distro?
[12:31] <iain_> jrib> thanks for all your help by the way bro. I appreciate it :-)
[12:31] <jrib> !mount > Muninn    (Muninn, see the private message from ubotu)
[12:32] <iain_> jrib> my specs are here http://www1.ap.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/latit_d420?c=th&l=en&s=lca&~section=specs pretty much.
[12:32] <jrib> iain_: np, hope you sort it out
[12:32] <jexdawg13> bofh80 - yeah, p2p progs built in players tend to suck
[12:32] <plb> sirkism, python or c for ubuntu
[12:32] <Muninn> Thanks, jrib.
[12:32] <Dasnipa`> sirkism, in using? or in developing in/for?
[12:32] <Slart> K_Dallas: mm... you might be right there... but of course you back everything up before you install ubuntu.. like we all do.. always.. *ahem*
[12:32] <sirkism> more using
[12:32] <bofh80> jexdawg13, no problem, when i switched to linux, loosing Ares was like loosing my left hand..........i couldn't believe it was OpenSource GPL and no linux version lol
[12:32] <sirkism> but i wouldn't mind programming for it either
[12:32] <plb> sirkism, gtk = c QT(KDE)=c++
[12:32] <plb> sirkism, go with python
[12:32] <eternaljoy> is anyone here experienced in making a mirror image backup of a hard drive to another?
[12:32] <sirkism> alright
[12:32] <jexdawg13> yeah bofh80 - that is ridiculous. do you have any idea why it isn't ported?
[12:33] <r4nge> if i lose internet access would "/etc/init.d/networking restart" be the way to try to bring it up again?
[12:33] <jrib> Muninn: if you are in edgy, you will need to do some reading so just ask if you need some more hints because it isn't clear what to do
[12:33] <Dasnipa`> sirkism, bash scripting is key for getting the most out of it... but yeah for developing, c/c++ for kernal and low level stuff, python, for other stuff
[12:33] <K_Dallas> Slart, i have bought a new sata just for that . i will be dealing with backup after the new system is up and running (btw, my old HDD was almost fried, i am going to use it with a linux flavour and see if linux  could take care of hardware problems too ;)
[12:33] <sirkism> is there a website or help wiki that lays out the folder paths for ubuntu?
[12:33] <plb> sirkism, ruby is quite popular these days as well
[12:33] <jrib> !fhs > sirkism    (sirkism, see the private message from ubotu)
[12:33] <sirkism> yeah i was testing that out online
[12:33] <sirkism> figure simple enough, i just downloaded the package
[12:33] <plb> sirkism, you mean directories?
[12:34] <sirkism> yes, i'm sorry
[12:34] <plb> sirkism, windows= folders ;]
[12:34] <Slart> K_Dallas: hehe.. same here.. I just buy new hard drives and mash the old ones into my linux box... =)
[12:34] <K_Dallas> lol
[12:34] <thesilentw> hello, i need help, i messed up my bootloader, and lost my win Vista :( , can anyone point me to a tutorial? thx
[12:34] <sirkism> haha
[12:34] <sirkism> sorry about that
[12:34] <Dasnipa`> who needs window? good riddance
[12:34] <sirkism> thank you for the link
[12:34] <jrib> iain_: you installed 915resolution as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto#head-0e3051713171cb5d1bf49dc2dc7bea24eb9ed83e ?
[12:34] <panfist> hi, i have a .rar archive that i can use in windows that won't open with the gui archive manager, what other ways can i try to unzip it?
[12:34] <sirkism> i'm trying this open-source out
[12:35] <jrib> panfist: have you installed unrar?
[12:35] <iain_> jrib> yep. got it with apt-get a few days ago trying to fix this.
[12:35] <plb> sirkism, what exactly do you want to know about the directory layout?
[12:35] <panfist> jrib: no i guess i will try that, thanks
[12:35] <Slart> K_Dallas: at my former job I ran a debian server with 7 or 8  40GB hard drives in a huuge raid array.. they died every now and then but I had 20 or so drives just waiting to replace them.. all small ones though
[12:35] <jrib> iain_: and you setup /etc/default/915resolution ?
[12:35] <iain_> jrib> then played around with some config fileto add MODE=auto and X and Y peremeters.
[12:35] <coldboot> Does anyone run Xgl with an nVidia card, and have the problem where all your windows turn white, and you can't actually see anything?
[12:35] <Mumbles> can anyone help me identify this font ? http://mumbles-uk.com/uploads/frontLOGO.jpg
[12:36] <K_Dallas> thesilentw, look here: http://tinyurl.com/3xsmjs
[12:36] <sirkism> plb, if i have a tar file on my desktop
[12:36] <crackintosh> can I change my screen resolution for the the command line? I am pretty sure that my tty's are at 320x240
[12:36] <sirkism> it is a program, what dir do i send that to?
[12:36] <jrib> iain_: hmm what if you try using the MODE=SOME_NUMBER like the wiki describes?
[12:36] <Slart> coldboot: check in #buntu-effects.. they even have a keyword for it.. try typing !whitescreen
[12:36] <plb> sirkism, tar is just something compressed like a zip file
[12:36] <coldboot> !whitescreen
[12:36] <thesilentw> hello, i need help, i messed up my bootloader, and lost my win Vista :( , can anyone point me to a tutorial? thx
[12:36] <plb> sirkism, what is it?
[12:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about whitescreen - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:36] <iain_> jrib> as in literally 'SOME_NUMBER'?
[12:36] <sirkism> i'm trying out the framework for metasploit
[12:36] <Slart> crackintosh: try adding a vga=XXX line in grubs boot menu
[12:37] <iain_> jrib> or pluck one out of the ether?
[12:37] <K_Dallas> thesilentw, did you read what i told you?
[12:37] <Slart> crackintosh: there are different VGA modes .. there is a list somewhere
[12:37] <iain_> :)
[12:37] <jrib> iain_: no, the wiki page gives you the command you need to run to get a list of numbers you can use and what mode they correspond to
[12:37] <plb> sirkism, just double click it and archive manager should open
[12:37] <sirkism> yes, that's no problem
[12:37] <bofh80> jexdawg13, sorry was AFK. lol kid woke up...naw i don't know why they don't port it. i was thinking of ignoring all the bumf and copying stuff into glade, and making my own simple version lol
[12:37] <thesilentw> k_dallas, i think i missed it, sorry, can you put again?
[12:37] <sirkism> but i guess i'm use to looking for .exe files to run programs
[12:37] <K_Dallas> thesilentw, look here: http://tinyurl.com/3xsmjs
[12:37] <iain_> jrib> ohh....*back to school today*....
[12:37] <K_Dallas> i hope that could help you
[12:37] <jexdawg13> bofh80 - if you did that, you'd be my hero
[12:37] <thesilentw> K_dalas, thx mate
[12:37] <bofh80> jexdawg13, considering the current tcpip.sys restrictions in windows it's actually better running under wine in linux lol
[12:38] <plb> sirkism, lol no exe's in linux
[12:38] <K_Dallas> mp
[12:38] <sirkism> i know
[12:38] <sirkism> that's why i am struggling
[12:38] <sirkism> haha
[12:38] <jexdawg13> bofh80 - haha
[12:38] <sirkism> i don't know what to click on to command to type to actually start the program
[12:38] <plb> sirkism, what exactly do you need to do so we can help you
[12:38] <slvmchn> jrib: making a different user didn't help, it still tried loading the same panel and crashed at the dropdown menu... so i'm running blackbox in the meantime... is there a config file for gnome-panel somewhere i can directly edit?
[12:39] <iain_> jrib>  can I be a pain and ask for that URL again? I didn't bookmark it before I killed X and restarted
[12:39] <iain_> jrif> :-)
[12:39] <jrib> iain_: /msg ubotu fixres
[12:39] <jrib> slvmchn: well that means that it isn't a user configuration issue and I don't know what other configuration you would want to change regarding gnome-panel
[12:39] <michoelc> Hi all. For some reason, I cannot connect to localhost (<IP_ADDRESS>), although I can connect if I use my internal ip. Any idea what could be the problem?
[12:39] <sirkism> plb, i just want to know where to place my program files, does it belong in the /bin folder so everyone on the laptop has access to it
[12:40] <jrib> slvmchn: you may want to search bugs.ubuntu.com and file one if one does not already exist for your issue
[12:40] <plb> sirkism, is it an executable?
[12:40] <angie75> hello, having problems with grub, error 18, i would like to switch to lilo
[12:40] <slvmchn> ok jrib... i just thought maybe there'd be a file where i could edit out the drop-down menus and leave the rest of the panel (which is mainly links)
[12:40] <plb> sirkism, usually go in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin
[12:40] <dimas> is there any smart person around with some spare time willing to spend it on helping me solve a problem i have with my sound...would like to check if there is a problem with the hardware and not the software...i did experience some power down while i was editing a video with avidemux...al tyhe seden i dont have sound anymore and even after restarting the comp. and the sound from ubuntu restart dont work eather...is that nice person around?
[12:40] <slvmchn> but thanks for helping me, i'll check ubuntu.com and google around for a bit
[12:41] <slvmchn> actually it looks like my programs so far all work under blackbox
[12:41] <mikebeecham> Hi There, can I ask a question about Twinview please?  Can twinview be configured so that I have a clone of my desktop going to my TV, and be able to run video in fullscreen through that Clone?
[12:41] <jrib> slvmchn: oh, yes you can do that.  I misunderstood.  You can run gconf-editor and go to /apps/panel.  There you will find (somewhere) a list of loaded applets
[12:41] <sirkism> plb, that's what i'm trying to figure out
[12:41] <sirkism> in linux
[12:41] <Budtske> Replaced broken NIC, new one gets detected (see the drivers load in dmesg) yet i have no Eth0 interface, this is driving me nuts.... what should i check ?
[12:41] <sirkism> what is the equivalent to the .exe
[12:42] <IndyGunFreak> mikebeecham: someone was here asking a very similar question yesterday, i don't think anyone ever came up with a way to do it... Good luck
[12:42] <seyton> anybody who use audacious in here?
[12:42] <Mirth> gggggggggggggggggggggoodsexisexpensive
[12:42] <iratik> How do i upgrade from dapper to edgy ?
[12:42] <plb> sirkism, depends...mainly scripts use extensions like *.c *.pl *.py...there are *.bin files but those are usually for installing things
[12:42] <jrib> sirkism: have your read the documentation in your help menu?  It is a great way to learn the small (big?) differences about Ubuntu if you have never used Linux before
[12:42] <slvmchn> !help
[12:42] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[12:43] <mikebeecham> IndyGunFreak: Thank you anyway....not a great result, but thanks :D
[12:43] <LinuxProbie> Awfully quiet in #ubuntu+1
[12:43] <dimas> the no nice people dont need to aswer...or give an opinion
[12:43] <Mirth> Anyone have a preference of DVD Ripper?
[12:43] <wdwhitney> I have no sound with an audigy 2. sound preferences show that the audigy 2 is selected. How can I fix this?
[12:43] <asy_> source apt for ia32 -lib32 in 64bit ubuntu
[12:43] <IndyGunFreak> Mirth: acidrip
[12:43] <jrib> !sound > wdwhitney    (wdwhitney, see the private message from ubotu)
[12:43] <plb> my audigy works fine out of the box
[12:43] <asy_> ?
[12:44] <ada`ubuntu> iratik, www.ubuntuguide.org
[12:44] <sirkism> jrib, i apologize-that's probably the first thing i should have done.
[12:44] <Slart> Mirth: acidrip or dvd::rip
[12:44] <happyface0> whats the command in grub to set another partition as default boot?
[12:44] <Slart> Mirth: both available in the repos
[12:44] <Mirth> Okay, cool
[12:44] <iratik> Ada`ubuntu: I've gone there and followed the  "[How to upgrade from Hoary Hedgehog -> Breezy Badger -> Dapper Drake] " link - it goes nowhere ... the same page
[12:44] <sirkism> i just found out that you pronounce it lee-nucks
[12:44] <ardchoille> Mirth: dvd ripper: http://dvdshrink.sourceforge.net/
[12:44] <Mirth> Can you select parts of a DVD to rip
[12:44] <asy_> i have 7.0.4
[12:44] <Slart> Mirth: yes
[12:44] <maddash> happyface0: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[12:44] <Mirth> OKay, I'll check those out,.
[12:44] <Mirth> Thankies.
[12:45] <happyface0> thanks maddash
[12:45] <Slart> Mirth: there's not easy replacement for dvdshrink yet though
[12:45] <thesilentw> k_dallas, hey, sorry to bother you again, but, is it possible to install using win XP, cause i normally use ubuntu emulated via vmware on the vista install, and i messed it up somehow, maybe emulation had some setting wierd that changed real drive instead of the emulation
[12:45] <tdn> I want to use a specific nameserver. I have written that one in my /etc/resolv.conf, but every time I run ifup on my interface and do a dhclient, /etc/resolv.conf is overwritten with nameservers provided by the dhcp server. How do I use DHCP and still use my specific nameservers?
[12:45] <Slart> Mirth: but ripping to xvid or divx etc works fine
[12:45] <Muninn> !DiskMounter > Muninn
[12:45] <wdwhitney> jrib - I have tried the fresh kernel option, and it worked until my last reboot, then I lost sound again.
[12:46] <jrib> wdwhitney: sorry, I don't really know anything about sound.  Was just making sure you had a chance to take a look at that guide
[12:46] <LinuxProbie> so my wireless card shows in lspci and shows as eth1, but wlist eth1 scanning produces no results and the wi-fi light on my laptop isn't on.
[12:46] <wdwhitney> jrib - np, thanks
[12:46] <Budtske> Replaced broken NIC, new one gets detected: see the drivers load in dmesg, gets an irq and loads like it should. Yet i have no Eth0 interface, this is driving me nuts....
[12:46] <K_Dallas> thesilentw, i didn't understand your problem but i have never used vmware anyways so i might not be to help
[12:46] <dimas> snobie people dont need to answer
[12:46] <dogmeat> yo
[12:46] <ada`ubuntu> iratik, "To upgrade from Dapper to Edgy, just replace (ctrl+h) all instances of 'dapper' with 'edgy' within the /etc/apt/sources.list." apt-get update,  then upgrade then finall dist-upgrade
[12:46] <variant> whats the deal with ubuntu calling wifi cards "eth" it's not ethernet.. so why call it eth?
[12:46] <b14ck73425> hey, my sound just went out yesterday and i dont know why...can anyone help?
[12:46] <asy_> source unstable debian add to ubuntu ?
[12:47] <peaker> variant: I think it depends on the wifi driver
[12:47] <plb> variant, it's not ubuntu its linux
[12:47] <iratik> holy crap -- thats easy
[12:47] <wdwhitney> *shrug* I'll try it again, I was updating - maybe the settings were overwritten
[12:47] <iratik> thanks
[12:47] <variant> iratik: that is not the reccomended way
[12:47] <peaker> variant: in my laptop its called eth0 while in my pc another chipset is wlan0
[12:47] <variant> peaker: ok
[12:47] <Dasnipa`> variant, yes, it depends on the driver being used
[12:47] <iratik> variant: what is anyother way?
[12:47] <ardchoille> !upgrade
[12:47] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[12:47] <bruenig> variant, doesn't the update-manger -c or whatever do the same thing essentially
[12:47] <iMilad> Hi everybody,is there anyway to make gnome show only part of file names? because it always shows complete filenames and it messes my icons
[12:48] <b14ck73425> rename
[12:48] <variant> iratik:  change the sources.list file as you say but then just run update-manager and it will offer to update to the next release.. it's _much_ less likely to break your system
[12:48] <thesilentw> k_dallas, well, basically, i installed ubuntu on vmware virtual machine, so i would mess anuthing up, but i started to get a error on the bootloader with a MBR error, so i installed win xp on another partition to try and fix it
[12:48] <b14ck73425> or have it just show icons
[12:48] <iratik> variant: update-manager isn't a gui app is it?
[12:48] <variant> bruenig: yeah, didn't know it would handle the new sources.list thing on it's own though?
[12:48] <dogmeat> i installed ubuntu on /dev/hda2, then windows (was on /dev/hda1), how can i get back to a dual booting startup option? tried changing boot flag from gparted, and also deleting the windows part, but now the ubuntu won't boot giving message 'os not found'
[12:48] <bruenig> variant, what does update-manager do better than dist-upgrade, I am just wondering
[12:48] <variant> iratik: it is, there are command line alternatives that might be better though if you prefer
[12:48] <plb> thesilentw, why not just install ubuntu on a seperate partition?
[12:48] <iratik> variant: i'm running server
[12:49] <thesilentw> plb, first on virtual machine, so i would mess anything up xD
[12:49] <ardchoille> bruenig: I've been wondering the same thing.
[12:49] <thesilentw> plb, i guess it mess up anyways
[12:49] <variant> bruenig: no idea to be perfectly honest.. but I have had my head bitten off in here by "experts" insisting that it is.. it's certainly nicer for the newbies to not have to use the command line if they prefer
[12:49] <iMilad> b14ck... i'm looking for a better soloution. windows puts ... for files with long names. is it possible to do the same in linux?
[12:49] <bruenig> nowhere in the documentation has it said anything. It just says it is better
[12:49] <variant> iratik: in that case you should use aptitude
[12:49] <plb> thesilentw, lol
[12:49] <b14ck73425> iMilad, you could have gnome just show icons, or renam your files
[12:50] <b14ck73425> i dont think so, sorry about the repeat, i just saw your response
[12:50] <jrib> variant, bruenig: not knowing the specifics, it is aware of common mistakes apt-get makes when it needs to decide on a resolution and chooses the appropriate one.  There's a long thread on the mailing list about it
[12:50] <variant> bruenig: yeah, the normal excuse is that it wont leave you with "a bunch of broken packages" but i have never experienced that anyway and have always done apt-get dist-upgrade
[12:50] <variant> jrib: ok, cool :)
[12:51] <iMilad> b14ck: tx but that's not what i'm looking.
[12:51] <thesilentw> plb, btw, the live cd i have, on load, when ubuntu shows those small icons loading, (after login with user on normal install), it gets totally distorted, like a broken printer, with lots of lines, and i cant really read anything further, and it crashs
[12:51] <bruenig> iMilad, I doubt such functionality exists seeing as it is gnome
[12:51] <variant> might i reccomend to anyone in this channel who uses irrsi to block messages such as /joins and /quits etc.. it's _so_ much nicer in here iwthout the cruft
[12:52] <jexdawg13> bofh80, if you are still there, i can't open up ares anymore.. i run it in wine and it says it can't be found
[12:52] <iMilad> bruneig: tx
[12:52] <gneoso> what is the name of the defult cron dameon used in ubuntu??
[12:52] <bruenig> I like to know when people leave so I don't go on like an idiot talking to them
[12:52] <variant> bruenig: hahahaha
[12:52] <gneoso> out of interest
[12:52] <ardchoille> bruenig: hehe
[12:52] <b14ck73425> bruenig, not a fan of gnome im guessing
[12:52] <iratik> variant: Is there a tutorial for upgrading with aptitude - a method better than the apt-get method on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades
[12:53] <bruenig> !cron
[12:53] <ubotu> cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto  -  There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm
[12:53] <awenasidilisome> hey
[12:53] <variant> bruenig: never thought of that :) would make a nice script to show you if omeone left (using the same method it uses to predict nick copmletion maybe)
[12:53] <plb> thesilentw, what kind of videocard do you have?
[12:53] <thesilentw> BFG 7800 GT
[12:53] <gneoso> does ubuntu use  vixie-cron?
[12:53] <variant> iratik: aptitude dist-upgrade i _think_ is hte command
[12:53] <variant> gneoso: if you want
[12:53] <awenasidilisome> anyone know about broadcom drivers
[12:53] <thesilentw> nvidia chipset
[12:53] <ardchoille> gneoso: Ubuntu uses Paul Vixie's cron, yes
[12:53] <bruenig> b14ck73425, per their design goals, it is meant not to baffle you with unnecessary functionality, so I am just assuming from that
[12:54] <gneoso> ardchoille: chears
[12:54] <b14ck73425> lol
[12:54] <b14ck73425> what do you use by the way
[12:54] <bruenig> xfce
[12:54] <b14ck73425> just curious
[12:54] <thesilentw> plb, did u see? BFG 7800 GT, nvidia chipset
[12:54] <bruenig> mainly out of hardware concerns though
[12:55] <b14ck73425> yeah, i didnt like it though
[12:55] <plb> thesilentw, strange I have an old fx5200 and it works fine
[12:55] <dimas> <man aptitude> u will have display all the commands for aptitude
[12:55] <b14ck73425> kde was okay
[12:55] <thesilentw> plb, i was thinking it made that error cause it is new ><
[12:55] <b14ck73425> but im a gnome fan
[12:55] <dooglus_> is there a command that will definitely shut down a box remotely?  'sudo shutdown -h now' and 'halt' have both failed.  I can still ssh to it after both of those command
[12:55] <plb> thesilentw, possible...have you googled about it?
[12:55] <dooglus_> s
[12:55] <lontra> kde 4.0 will be nice
[12:56] <plb> thesilentw, or checked the forums
[12:56] <b14ck73425> i hope
[12:56] <thesilentw> plb, not really
[12:56] <catid> oh yeah i'll use KDE4 when it comes out
[12:56] <thesilentw> plb, cause i have user ubuntu before on this machine
[12:56] <Slart> dooglus_: your computer didn't shutdown after a "shutdown -h now"?
[12:56] <awenasidilisome> anyone have info on broadcom wireless drivers so i can bounce some thoughts around
[12:56] <dimas> what command is good to check the sound on the terminal?
[12:56] <Slart> dooglus_: mine does..
[12:56] <iain_> I'm having resolution issues on my Dell. Does anyone have any experience with intels? (I've tried 915resolutions) :-/
[12:56] <bruenig> !fixres
[12:56] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[12:56] <awenasidilisome> iain what os is it?
[12:56] <jrib> dimas: aplay /usr/share/sounds/startup3.wav
[12:56] <Camaxtli> awenasidilisome: bcm4318?
[12:56] <Slart> dimas: try aplay filename to play a file using alsa
[12:57] <gneoso> plb: thesilentw: hey do the new 88000 work just as well as the 7*** series?
[12:57] <plb> thesilentw, I would look but my mouse is broken lol
[12:57] <dooglus_> Slart: it might have, but if it did, it came back up again.  all I know is it's up now...
[12:57] <dooglus_> Slart: I want it to switch off
[12:57] <gneoso> or are drivers still fairly new
[12:57] <b14ck73425> i use intel and have never had a prob with resolution
[12:57] <thesilentw> plb, i know the old ubuntu, i needed to stop the window-x install some drivers and start it again, but the new one should had work i guess, cause i had it before
[12:57] <awenasidilisome> camaxtli i think thats what i'm looking for i've looked around and all the places i go tell me to find the drivers from windows and write it for linux
[12:57] <b14ck73425> must be a dell thing
[12:57] <Slart> dooglus_: hmm.. mine shuts down as in *poof* silent, not running.. not restarting, no nothing
[12:57] <plb> gneoso, no idea I haven't brought a new video card in years lol
[12:57] <pewee> i have some issues with ubuntu 6.10 and the nvidia drivers. from time to time it just freezes and the reset button is the only way out. :(
[12:57] <Slart> dooglus_: any errors in the logs?
[12:57] <gneoso> plb: hehe
[12:57] <dooglus_> Slart: I think it must have restarted, because uname -r tells me the new kernel name
[12:58] <Camaxtli> awenasidilisome: Ndiswrapper?
[12:58] <b14ck73425> yeah i did too, the drivers thing is annoying
[12:58] <awenasidilisome> dunno
[12:58] <dooglus_> Slart: last thing in the logs: Mar 29 00:56:00 chrislap syslogd 1.4.1#20: restart.
[12:58] <pewee> b14ck73425: talking to me? :)
[12:58] <thesilentw> pewee, well, mine doesnt get that far
[12:58] <awenasidilisome> hold on let me get the dell c400 and see what i can do in there
[12:58] <Slart> dooglus_: ok.. so it restarts.. that's better but still not good.. check "man shutdown" to see if something has changed in the paramters
[12:58] <Slart> *parameters
[12:58] <Camaxtli> awenasidilisome: There are two options -> Ndiswrapper and fwcutter
[12:58] <pewee> thesilentw: managed that after an hour of work
[12:58] <LinuxProbie> Has the install for ATI cards changed at all between Feisty and Edgy?
[12:58] <iain_> Just searching for my install CD as being the easy way to remind myself :-)
[12:59] <gneoso> bob: jim:
[12:59] <iain_> think it's Edgy
[12:59] <Mirth> Hey Slart, you there?
[12:59] <gneoso> ?
[12:59] <b14ck73425> pewee, are you having problems with nvidia drivers?
[12:59] <Slart> Mirth: yes.. as far as I can tell.. I'm still here =)
[12:59] <plb> thesilentw, have you tried the feisty beta cd?
[12:59] <Mirth> lol!
[12:59] <awenasidilisome> camaxtli i've never used either one
[12:59] <Mirth> In AcidRip, how can I tell it to rip from one spot to another?
[12:59] <dimas>  has to be the hardware then...dont get no sound and saids is playing
[12:59] <ecker> whats this talk about ndiswrapper? thats why i came in here, I need help getting my wireless card to work using ndiswrapper. i have my driver installed and modprobed it i still can't get wlan0 to come up says no device found when i do ifup -a
[01:00] <thesilentw> btw, does anyone know how i can see (from windows :( ) the path to start the vista OS, cause i could write it on the boot.ini that is working now
[01:00] <iain_> 6.06 - though fully updated
[01:00] <theacolyte> !ndiswrapper | ecker
[01:00] <ubotu> ecker: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[01:00] <Slart> Mirth: isn't that what the "filename" box is for?
[01:00] <Camaxtli> awenasidilisome: I take it it doesn't work out of the box?
[01:00] <Slart> Mirth: under "general"
[01:00] <awenasidilisome> i think my friend hacked it into it
[01:00] <dooglus_> Slart: I see things like "Mar 28 23:21:35 chrislap kernel:  [<c0172069>]  sys_mount+0x6d/0xaa" in the logs too
[01:00] <Camaxtli> ecker: You also removed the default drivers from the wireless card?
[01:00] <awenasidilisome> i'm not sure what he did though
[01:00] <orange1> i saved some mp3s from to my media player but they wont play -- i assume its because linux wrote the mp3s in ext3 format and my mediaplayer is in FAT format
[01:00] <orange1> how can i make them playable
[01:00] <dooglus_> Slart: and "Mar 28 23:30:02 chrislap shutdown[11197] : shutting down for system halt"
[01:00] <bruenig> orange1, you assume wrongly
[01:01] <b14ck73425> anyway can somebody help me with some sound issues?
[01:01] <lontra> orange1: any mp3 is an mp3
[01:01] <theacolyte> !restricted > orange1 (check your PM's)
[01:01] <Mirth> I think that's just names the file, Slart.
[01:01] <thesilentw> plb, nah, i am a windows guy, only use ubuntu on laptop, cause it is old, or emulated on vmware so i can configure it while talking on msn
[01:01] <ecker> Camaxtli there wasn't one that i know of the driver that im using now is neti2220
[01:02] <Camaxtli> ecker: Did you already use this command? sudo modprobe ndiswrapper ?
[01:02] <thesilentw> i would change to ubuntu if it run the programs i use in windows tho
[01:02] <Slart> dooglus_: sounds right.. system halt..not system restart.. perhaps there are something else that makes it restart.. I've never had any problems with shutting my boxes down.. it's the one thing that almost always works =)
[01:02] <mikebeecham> Hi There, can I ask a question about Twinview please?  Can twinview be configured so that I have a clone of my desktop going to my TV, and be able to run video in fullscreen through that Clone?
[01:02] <Slart> Mirth: you mean like a temporary folder?
[01:02] <ecker> Camaxtli bout a hundered times so far
[01:02] <plb> mikebeecham, I believe so
[01:02] <plb> mikebeecham, there is a howto in the forums for that I believe
[01:02] <alucard> i installed ubuntu and now i cant boot on my windows partition (although I am able to access the files on it) my grub menu has linux booting off of (hd0,0) and linux reads my window partition as hda5, can anyone help me get windows working?
[01:02] <orange1> maybe i said it wrong. I can play the mp3 on ubuntu
[01:02] <Slart> mirth: there is a "cache" option in "Settings"
[01:02] <orange1> I cant play them on my media player
[01:03] <mikebeecham> plb: do you know how mate, because I cant find any information on it.  Also, i've been using linux for a little over a week, so I need lots of handholding on such things
[01:03] <Camaxtli> ecker: did you try "iwconfig" ?
[01:03] <thesilentw> alucard, same problem, but i dont have grub
[01:03] <bruenig> alucard, you are going to need to pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst and what your partition table looks like
[01:03] <bruenig> !paste | alucard
[01:03] <ubotu> alucard: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[01:03] <Mirth> Slart: Oh, I meant start ripping the dvd at like, "0:30:50" to "1:13.00", for example
[01:03] <plb> mikebeecham, I don't know how personally but I was just looking on how to do it yesterday as well and came across a thread in the forums.
[01:04] <orange1> theacolyte: I can play the mp3s on ubuntu - but when i transfer them to my mediaplayer they dont play
[01:04] <mikebeecham> plb: any chance you would have the link mate?
[01:04] <theacolyte> orange1: are you reading them off a windows drive?
[01:04] <alucard> bruenig: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12674/
[01:04] <Slart> Mirth: aahh.. now I understand.. I think you can only rip scenes/chapters.. but you can always rip it all and cut it down with avidemux afterwardds
[01:04] <bruenig> orange1, is there some special way that they are to be transferred, or are you supposed to be able to just dump mp3's to it like a usb stick and go
[01:04] <plb> mikebeecham, no but it should be pretty easy to find...just search for twinview clone something like that...I would look but my mouse is broken lol so all I can really do is talk in here
[01:04] <orange1> bruenig: dump and go
[01:04] <ecker> Camaxtli  Yes! is doen't say anything about wlan0 just says no wireless extention for lo, eth1, sit0 ??
[01:04] <Mirth> Yeah, I think I'm going to just rip it all anyways, Slart.
[01:05] <billy> !backup > billy
[01:05] <Muninn> jrib: I'm afraid none of that helped in any way. :)
[01:05] <bruenig> alucard, ok what partition is windows on, spatially, is it the second partition or the third or what.
[01:05] <alucard> well i installed it first so i assume it is the first partition
[01:05] <jrib> Muninn: k, join me in #ubuntu-classroom
[01:05] <plb> mikebeecham, I believe there is also something about it in the ubuntu wiki
[01:05] <alucard> is there a way i could access my partition table with software to determine that exactly
[01:06] <orange1> bruenig: my media player is in fat format so I just drag and drop files from my windows machine and they work -- i do the same in linux and the media player wont play them
[01:06] <Camaxtli> ecker: Wireless driver isn't active then, run ndiswrapper -i and pastebin (or copy paste) the result
[01:06] <plb> mikebeecham, didn't seem to difficult of a task
[01:06] <bruenig> alucard, are you on feisty?
[01:06] <alucard> bruenig: im on 6.10
[01:06] <alucard> edgy
[01:07] <bruenig> alucard, where did you get that 2.6.20 kernel,
[01:07] <alucard> kernel.org
[01:07] <alucard> but the problem existed before i ever recompiled my kernel
[01:07] <lontra> alucard: 2.6.20 is in feisty
[01:07] <bruenig> alucard, oh, I just assumed that if you compiled your own kernel, you would know how to setup grub
[01:07] <plb> alucard, gparted shows partitions
[01:08] <plb> or fdisk, cfdisk etc
[01:08] <alucard> bruenig: i know how to set up grub, i just cant seem to get the window partition working
[01:08] <slvmchn> jrib: i'm sorry, i closed xchat and reopened it, what was the file to edit for gnome-panel again?
[01:08] <plb> gparted is the easiest though
[01:08] <alucard> lontra: it supported the core 2 duo which is what i use
[01:08] <bruenig> alucard, well in that menu.lst, there is not a windows entry even in there,
[01:09] <thesilentw> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12675/ --> bootloader problems, help? :)
[01:09] <alucard> yah i removed it because it didnt work
[01:09] <jrib> slvmchn: oh, yes you can do that.  I misunderstood.  You can run gconf-editor and go to /apps/panel.  There you will find (somewhere) a list of loaded applets
[01:09] <alucard> but it was rootnoverify (hd0,0)
[01:09] <lontra> alucard: what about fdisk -l?
[01:09] <neil> hi guys bit of an odd one, installed kde to try it out, didnt like, removed
[01:09] <alucard> well
[01:10] <neil> all is perfect back to ubuntu now... but the bootloader is kubuntu!
[01:10] <neil> The loading bar immediately after grub..
[01:10] <alucard> gparted: gives me /dev/hda5 for ntfs
[01:10] <neil> how do i change it back :/
[01:10] <lontra> neil: kubuntu remains!
[01:10] <bruenig> neil, the splash screen is kubuntu, not the bootloader, but yeah I had that
[01:10] <lontra> neil: you need to remove the kubuntu usplash package
[01:10] <awenasidilisome> camaxtl broadcom 4306 drivers are what i need
[01:10] <ecker> Camaxtli   neti2220 is already installed. Use -e to remove it thats what ndiswrapper -i net2220 gave me
[01:10] <iratik> how do i check my version of ubuntu ?
[01:10] <bruenig> neil, it is a "bug" I guess, you can probably find it on the forums
[01:10] <bruenig> iratik, lsb_release -a
[01:10] <neil> balls :)
[01:10] <neil> ill look, thanks
[01:10] <lontra> bruenig: it's not a bug
[01:10] <neil> oh
[01:10] <thesilentw> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12675/ --> bootloader problems, help? :)
[01:11] <slvmchn> nice jrib, thanks a million
[01:11] <lontra> neil: it's a relic...you can remove the kubuntu-usplash package and run dpkg-reconfigure usplash
[01:11] <iratik> it still says dapper after i've run aptitude  dist-upgarde
[01:11] <bruenig> lontra, how is it not a bug?
[01:11] <alucard> /dev/hda2           12749       38912   210162330    f  W95 Ext'd (LBA)

[01:11] <neil> ive done the first bit, just not the reconfigure
[01:11] <neil> thanks :)
[01:11] <alucard> those are the non linux partitions i have
[01:11] <lontra> bruenig: because the splash package is still installed
[01:11] <Camaxtli> ecker: PM
[01:11] <lontra> it's not a bug at all
[01:11] <neil> i removed usplash :/
[01:11] <neil> just didnt reconfigure
[01:11] <lontra> anyways...brb
[01:11] <neil> neil@cascade:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure usplash

[01:11] <neil> guess that is sorted then..
[01:12] <bruenig> alucard, that is your whole table? grub does it spatially, if so then it would be hd(0,1)
[01:12] <morpheus74> Hi, has anyone installed skype on their Ubuntu machine?
[01:12] <Pelo> what's the command for displaying the kernel version again ?
[01:12] <neil> uname -r
[01:12] <LjL> uname -r
[01:12] <alucard> bruenig: (hd0,1)?
[01:12] <bruenig> morpheus74, I have at one point
[01:12] <alucard> ive tried that
[01:12] <Pelo> thanks
[01:12] <bruenig> alucard, yeah that is what I meant
[01:12] <kondor101> using 7.04, im impressed
[01:13] <billy> kondor101: what are you most impressed by?
[01:13] <bruenig> alucard, you said those were your non linux partitions though, which partition is your windows on. Taking the whole disk in consideration.
[01:13] <bruenig> is it the second partition of the whole disk or what
[01:13] <morpheus74> bruenig, I noticed skype is not in the repositories, not that I expected it would be.  I don't have much experience installing software on a Linux machine.  How difficult is it to install skype?
[01:14] <bruenig> morpheus74, there are debs you can use
[01:14] <kondor101> the codec thing
[01:14] <alucard> this is all the output fdisk -l gives me
[01:14] <alucard> /dev/hda1   *           1       12748   102398278+  83  Linux

[01:14] <ecker> Camaxtli your not recieving my PM's are you?
[01:14] <bruenig> alucard, you have windows on a logical partition?
[01:14] <bruenig> can you do that?
[01:14] <kondor101> billy:  the codecs install themselves, with just a little push here and there
[01:14] <morpheus74> bruenig, does debs mean that it's configured for the Debian package manager?  Where can I find some information on how to install debs?
[01:14] <Camaxtli> ecker: I ain't :/
[01:14] <alucard> no i believe that is just considered a logical partition because there is some freespace or something
[01:15] <thesilentw> can anyone point me to a boot cd that can install me a decent boot loader that works with win xp, vista and ubuntu? any one can do (maybe a simple one)

[01:15] <iratik> WHat do I do after having ran aptitude dist-upgrade
[01:15] <jrib> iratik: what do you want to do?
[01:15] <Camaxtli> ecker: Join #wirelesstrouble
[01:15] <iratik> get to edgy from dapper
[01:15] <billy> thesilentw:  super grub disc should do.
[01:15] <Pelo> morpheus74,  .deb files are packages made for automated installation on debian based systems
[01:15] <Pelo> systems / distros
[01:15] <gannina> Can someone help me get gnome-color-chooser to work for Ubuntu Edgy?
[01:16] <morpheus74> Pelo, Thanks!  :)
[01:16] <bruenig> morpheus74, http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-deb
[01:16] <thesilentw> billy, lol, super?, if it works then where can i find it?
[01:16] <gannina> I can run the program, but when I change and apply new settings they don't do anything
[01:16] <billy> thesilentw: http://linux.softpedia.com/get/System/Boot/Super-Grub-Disk-8071.shtml
[01:16] <bruenig> morpheus74, you should be able to double click on it or open it with gdebi, from command line it is "sudo dpkg -i whatever.deb"
[01:16] <madhatter349> hwo do i set up a vnc in ubuntu
[01:16] <thesilentw> billy, thx mate
[01:16] <morpheus74> Thanks all.
[01:16] <billy> no prob
[01:17] <kondor101> now my problem,  can someone tell me what line i would use for making sure that my torrent port is open, i know it has something of the iptables about it but i am not really techy enough to remember
[01:17] <thesilentw> billy, this works even without linux installed on normal partition right?
[01:17] <iratik> so what do i do next?
[01:18] <bruenig> !firestarter | kondor101 open it in this
[01:18] <ubotu> kondor101 open it in this: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[01:18] <wojownik> hi
[01:18] <billy> thesilentw:  to the best of my knowledge, though I've never used it sans Linux.
[01:18] <gannina> Can someone help me get gnome-color-chooser to work for Ubuntu Edgy?
[01:18] <morpheus74> I noticed Fiesty beta was released.  Does anyone know when the final version of fiesty is scheduled to be released?
[01:18] <iratik> gannina: try #gnome
[01:18] <kondor101> bruenig: thank you
[01:18] <gannina> thx
[01:18] <pix_525> hey
[01:18] <lavid> morpheus74: 19 april
[01:19] <pix_525> does anyone know what package I would find libc in?
[01:19] <billy> is there a terminal command to see info on particular file, like creation date, size, etc.?  ls with a flag?
[01:19] <pix_525> and I am installing the nVidia driver, so I suppose I need kernel-devel too?
[01:19] <Smilez> I got a quick question. Are all linux distributions the same when it comes to updating software via RPM (whichever one the system uses)??? I'm currently in OpenSuSe which I enjoy, but everytime there is a software update, I have to hunt down 10million dependencies
[01:19] <lavid> billy: ls -lha
[01:19] <thesilentw> billy, is there a chance i get things worse with that ?
[01:19] <bruenig> !info libc6
[01:19] <ubotu> libc6: GNU C Library: Shared libraries. In component main, is required. Version 2.4-1ubuntu12.3 (edgy), package size 4032 kB, installed size 9992 kB
[01:19] <billy> lavid:  thx.
[01:19] <pix_525> k
[01:20] <comodo> can someone tell me the command to check for direct rendering
[01:20] <bruenig> pix_525, that is installed by default though
[01:20] <lavid> comodo: try glxinfo
[01:20] <pix_525> okayu
[01:20] <ada`ubuntu> Smilez, cant understand your question totally but in Ubuntu its 2 click (or 2 command) to update
[01:20] <bruenig> pix_525, I presume you are looking for libc6-dev
[01:20] <billy> thesilentw:  well, there's always that chance I guess.
[01:20] <pix_525> I guess
[01:20] <pros1> Everytime I try to connect to freenode using irssi, I get connected to this &bitlbee servermode. Can't join these channels from there. Any ideas?
[01:20] <pix_525> the nVidia installer want's it
[01:20] <bruenig> !info build-essential
[01:20] <billy> comodo:  glxinfo | grep direct
[01:20] <ubotu> build-essential: informational list of build-essential packages. In component main, is optional. Version 11.3 (edgy), package size 6 kB, installed size 48 kB
[01:20] <MrKeuner> hi, which package do I need to have /var/spool/mail/username
[01:20] <bruenig> pix_525, get build-essential it will install it along with other things needed to compile software
[01:20] <pix_525> okay
[01:20] <Smilez> ada`ubuntu: Basically, when updating software do the dependencies resolve themselves? Currently I'm in OpenSuSe and every software update requires I hunt down dependencies manually which is annoying
[01:20] <LjL> Smilez, unless 1) there is a packaging bug (doesn't happen often), or 2) you use non-official (and buggy) repositories,  then there is *no* dependency hunting to do
[01:21] <thesilentw> billy, ok, does it require you to input locations by hand?
[01:21] <pix_525> not just libc6-dev?
[01:21] <alucard> yo dudes
[01:21] <plb> MrKeuner, you could try postfix?
[01:21] <kondor101> a bit off topic, setting up my iptables for torrents,  is it tcp or udp?
[01:21] <Smilez> Thanks LjL... I recently read an article explaining how little effort is required in ubuntu to update software
[01:21] <bruenig> pix_525, right, it installs libc6-dev and make and other stuff
[01:21] <LjL> Smilez, "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" updates all the software you have installed, if there are updates available.
[01:21] <pros1> nobody here knows anything about the bitlbee gateway?
[01:21] <Smilez> which is very nice because of all the work I have to do in opensuse to do the same
[01:21] <awenasidilisome> anyone able to help me with a wireless problem
[01:21] <ada`ubuntu> Smilez, yes, totally automatically as for updates - using 3rd party programs may require a little more googleaing and reading to hunt down packages
[01:21] <Insolit> awenasidilisome: which?
[01:21] <MrKeuner> plb: I already have exim4
[01:21] <Smilez> LjL:  and is there a gui equivelent?
[01:22] <bruenig> !synaptic
[01:22] <ubotu> synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[01:22] <pix_525> thanks
[01:22] <LjL> Smilez: of course, this means *only* using software from the *official* repositories - which will mean you can't just use the "latest version of everything", you'll have to wait a little. it's worth it, though
[01:22] <pix_525> is this all I need for the nVidia driver?
[01:22] <pagan0ne> does anyone have any reccomendations on how i could record a small clip of vidro synced to audio off my webcam and soundcard??
[01:22] <Smilez> thanks LjL and ada`ubuntu. what about repositories... I would still need to add them for things like VLC and Windows Media codecs?
[01:22] <billy> thesilentw:  no.  it'll read your hdd and stuff.
[01:22] <plb> pix_525, just use envy to install nvidia
[01:22] <LjL> Smilez: yes, Synaptic. however i don't use it, but it's totally equivalent to the CLI version, since they use the same backend (APT)
[01:22] <pix_525> any other packages to install now that could help with Beryl later?
[01:22] <porter> Is it possible to use pine to check multiple emaill adresses on the same server without establishing multiple user account on the local system?
[01:22] <bruenig> pix_525, no, but go to #ubuntu-effects and see what they tell you
[01:22] <ada`ubuntu> Smilez, yes and no, check www.ubuntuguide.com for more info altho I dont like every point of that site :)
[01:23] <Smilez> thanks for all the advice... and I can run KDE in Ubuntu right? but Gnome is the default?
[01:23] <Zues_62> who knows how to get display picks in gaim
[01:23] <kondor101> Smilez:  which ubuntu version you using?
[01:23] <bruenig> !kubuntu
[01:23] <ubotu> Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE
[01:23] <plb> porter, sure
[01:23] <ada`ubuntu> Smilez, Kubuntu = KDE ubuntu
[01:23] <Smilez> I'm not in ubuntu... im just pondering an ubuntu install
[01:23] <Smilez> thanks ada
[01:23] <whta> anyone around know why it takes so long for gnome to log out on my machine? only with ctrl alt backspace and with logout button.
[01:23] <LjL> Smilez: VLC, no, it's available in the *standard* repos (you just need to enabled the "Universe" repo, since it's disabled by default, but it's still an official repositories). codecs, yes, since they're not legal in every country to distribute. there is a repository, however, and it usually works well enough.
[01:23] <Zues_62> by rights it should
[01:23] <awenasidilisome> insolit my broadcom 4306 wireless card wont always connect to the internet
[01:24] <LjL> !software > Smilez    (Smilez, see the private message from Ubotu) | to get a broader idea
[01:24] <Smilez> thanks a bunch... So is it safe to say that Ubuntu (kubuntu) is the easiest Linux desktop?
[01:24] <MrKeuner> why does mailituls install mysql-common
[01:24] <iratik> not by far -- thats quite a limited statement
[01:24] <kondor101> Smilez:  well i just installed 7.04 beta,  it goes and fetches any open source codecs for you
[01:24] <plb> Smilez, yes
[01:24] <LjL> Smilez: i'm uncomfortable with making blanket statements. it's probably on the easy side compared to the average Linux distribution ;)
[01:24] <porter> I'd sasy so
[01:24] <iratik> actually - i mean.. its a loaded question
[01:24] <thesilentw> billy, how do i burn it onto dvd to make it bootable?
[01:24] <awenasidilisome> insolit: it works but it only likes one of the wireless connections at work and it hates mine here at the house
[01:24] <Insolit> awenasidilisome: could you be more specific?
[01:25] <pix_525> hrmm
[01:25] <Smilez> Thanks for all the info and links guys. I've been using linux since slackware 5.x or so... so I'm used to the terminal, but i want to install a nice easy linux for my GF on an external USB drive
[01:25] <thesilentw> billy, shouldnt it be like...an ISO file
[01:25] <plb> I've been using Linux since 1999 and it's the easiest one I've used
[01:25] <bruenig> Smilez, I mean they are all pretty simple if you know what you are doing except gentoo, damn gentoo and its emasculating ways
[01:25] <Insolit> awenasidilisome: hates? what do you mean?
[01:25] <pix_525> is there a problem with name resolution on the default install?
[01:25] <ada`ubuntu> Smilez, easy and profession at the same time :) I like it
[01:25] <neil> emasculating ? :D
[01:25] <awenasidilisome> insolit: hates means it will never connect to it no matter what i do
[01:25] <awenasidilisome> insolit: but it knows its there
[01:25] <LjL> pix_525: uhm, like what?
[01:25] <pix_525> LjL: pm?
[01:25] <Smilez> I love linux, and I'm a huge open source supporter. So I'm trying to convert one windows user at a time... or at least get them to dual boot. My Girlfriend loves my opensuse install, especially with beryl and all the other gadgets... so I'm doing my part :D
[01:26] <kondor101> Smilez, I would say 7.04 is easier than 6.06, but there is more guides and help for 6.06LTS,  so it is a bit of a coin flip
[01:26] <awenasidilisome> right now i have it wired so i can get different programs off the internet and new drivers but i'm not having any good luck
[01:26] <LjL> pix_525: nah, keep it on the channel, i'm not even sure i can help you with this (i have had *one* specific instance of a DNS problem, and i'm not even too sure how i solved it...)
[01:26] <thesilentw> billy, shouldnt it be like...an ISO file
[01:26] <pix_525> hrmm
[01:26] <pix_525> k
[01:26] <billy> thesilentw: hmm ... i thought it was.  they may have changed it.  just a sec.
[01:26] <Insolit> awenasidilisome: maybe you configured it with a wep key?
[01:26] <porter> I had Ubuntu (with the gui) installe on this machine but it rann slower than butter in July?
[01:26] <ada`ubuntu> 7.04 is definately much more user friendly but not stable yet (max 1 month I guess)
[01:27] <Smilez> kondor101: Thanks for the tip. I want to set my girlfriend up with a linux desktop, so she'll be asking me for help before checking for guides... but I have been reading up on ubuntu for a little while... so I'm psyched
[01:27] <awenasidilisome> nope
[01:27] <Smilez> Also, I read that Canonical cut some deals with Linspire to adopt their Click n Run and linspire will use Ubuntu instead of Debian now
[01:27] <awenasidilisome> insolit: its showing up in wireless assistant as not having a wep and my macbook connects to it perfectly
[01:27] <LjL> Smilez: so they say
[01:28] <slvmchn> jrib: finally fixed it, thanks for the help, took a little tinkering in gconf-editor but it worked
[01:28] <Smilez> LjL: True
[01:28] <Insolit> awenasidilisome: pls open a command prompt
[01:28] <Insolit> awenasidilisome: *terminal
[01:28] <porter> Novel sold out to M$.
[01:28] <slvmchn> jrib: such a weird bug though, i'm gonna have to put it up on the ubuntu site
[01:28] <awenasidilisome> insolit: k
[01:28] <jrib> slvmchn: did the menu start working again or you just removed it?
[01:28] <awenasidilisome> insolit: now what?
[01:29] <Insolit> put yourself as root
[01:29] <LjL> Smilez: anyway, keep in mind that if you want to add some third-party repositories (codecs and... well, depends - anyway be careful to add repositories *that work*), you *might* still have to fiddle with the command line. only once, though
[01:29] <awenasidilisome> k
[01:29] <porter> use su root then enter the password.
[01:29] <awenasidilisome> done
[01:29] <Smilez> LjL:  I hear you. I appreciate all the helpful advice. So which iso should I download?
[01:29] <LjL> Smilez: i'd recommend you ask here before using any given repository. and most importantly, *don't* use repositories meant for Debian - they will most likely mess up your Ubuntu.
[01:30] <billy> thesilentw:  here it is.  it's a iso.gz.  just unpack it to the iso.  http://forjamari.linex.org/frs/download.php/533/sgd_0.9588.iso.gz
[01:30] <Smilez> I would definitely ask in here first
[01:30] <Insolit> awenasidilisome: now do "iwconfig" and tell me which is your wireless interface
[01:30] <andre_pl_> how would I do a reinstall from within ubuntu without a cd? something that would wipe out everything i might have messed up and start over.
[01:30] <LjL> Smilez: the Desktop CD is the standard one for installing, but some people find the Alternate more to their taste (Alternate is a text-mode only installer, while Desktop is a "live CD" + GUI installer)
[01:30] <billy> thesilentw:  sorry about that.  got my links mixed up.  that other was for usb drives.  :-)
[01:30] <LjL> Smilez: also, if you've got limited RAM (like less than about 192 or even 256), use Alternate
[01:30] <RoundyT1> Can someone pastebin their sources list (FROM EDGY) Please???
[01:30] <awenasidilisome> its got lo , eth0, eth1
[01:31] <jrib> !easysource > RoundyT1    (RoundyT1, see the private message from ubotu)
[01:31] <Insolit> awenasidilisome: and which one is the wireless?
[01:31] <Smilez> I've been spoiled by the latest GUI installers... I'm sick of text installers thanks to freebsd... and I have 2gb's of ram, so im alright :D
[01:31] <awenasidilisome> guessing lo but it says no wireless extensions
[01:31] <d1gital> how do i share my printer with a windows computer?   (i have samba installed)
[01:31] <Insolit> awenasidilisome: lo is loopback
[01:31] <porter>  love the good old minimaltext installers.
[01:31] <awenasidilisome> its eth1
[01:31] <Smilez> I used to...
[01:32] <Insolit> awenasidilisome: are there no wireless extensions either for eth0 and eth1?
[01:32] <awenasidilisome> eth1 is the one showing all the stats
[01:32] <Insolit> so now do iwlist eth1 scan
[01:32] <LjL> andre_pl_: that's not too easy at all without a CD...
[01:32] <porter> If im not mistaken wireles lan cards should be preconfigured as wlan 0.
[01:33] <Smilez> Alright well im out everyone. Thanks ada`ubuntu and LjL and anyone else who helped point me in the right direction!
[01:33] <LjL> andre_pl_: what is the problem with using a CD? no drive, no Ubuntu CD, slow connection to download one...?
[01:33] <Insolit> awenasidilisome: what wireless network did it find?
[01:33] <awenasidilisome> insolit: flutterby
[01:34] <awenasidilisome> insolit: which is the house
[01:34] <Insolit> awenasidilisome: ok
[01:34] <Insolit> awenasidilisome: now do: "iwconfig eth1 essid flutterby key off"
[01:34] <Insolit> then do iwconfig
[01:34] <Insolit> and tell me if it's associated
[01:35] <d1gital> how do i share my printer (i can print from this computer) with a windows computer?   (i have samba installed)
[01:35] <thesilentw> billy, nearly lost your message, thx mate
[01:35] <awenasidilisome> insolit: essid came back as flutterby under eth1 nickname: broadcom 4306 encryption key :off
[01:36] <awenasidilisome> signal level 0
[01:36] <josh_> test
[01:36] <LjL> failed
[01:36] <billy> thesilentw: no prob.  hope it works for you.
[01:36] <slvmchn> jrib: i just removed it
[01:36] <slvmchn> at least for now
[01:36] <Pelo> d1gital,   try looking it up in the forum
[01:36] <Insolit> awenasidilisome: have u considered having a bad signal?
[01:36] <commando> That requires a that a root password be added due to the fact that you can only edit settings in cups as root.
[01:36] <xtknight> d1gital, you could try installing CUPS on windows i suppoes
[01:36] <xtknight> suppose**
[01:37] <awenasidilisome> yeah
[01:37] <awenasidilisome> which i'm working on correcting that
[01:37] <TheCaptain> Hello, is there a seperate channel for ultimate support?
[01:37] <awenasidilisome> but even when i'm 3 feet from the wireless router it wont work
[01:37] <xtknight> TheCaptain, this channel not ultimate enough for you?
[01:37] <LjL> TheCaptain: ultimate?
[01:37] <Mirth> Any Video Editors that can edit AVI files?
[01:37] <d1gital> xtknight: once i have done that, where do i tell it to look for the printer
[01:37] <Mirth> Like Vegas?
[01:37] <slvmchn> jrib: i just set up a second machine with ubuntu that i got up and running a lot easier now that i know what i'm doing with it on this one, and this machine was originally breezy that was upgraded to dapper upgraded to edgy., in the last year or so, so i think i'm just going to copy over my files and wipe it
[01:37] <Pelo> the capgadget   ulitmate edition is just a repack of whatever the current distro is
[01:37] <TheCaptain> Ah, okay.
[01:37] <LjL> ah, the ripoff
[01:37] <xtknight> d1gital, cups will setup a server.  umm after that i dont know but CUPs is a network printing protocol
[01:37] <TheCaptain> Then it is in fact ultimate enough for me.
[01:38] <TheCaptain> I am having a problem with the live cd on my travelmate 8204wlmi
[01:38] <TheCaptain> I spent the last hour browsing forums to no avail.
[01:38] <xtknight> let's hear it
[01:38] <c_lisp> hi is there a linux software that converts your dvds to avis?
[01:38] <Flare183> does anybody know how to play SPC files without having to use XMMS?
[01:38] <xtknight> c_lisp, mencoder
[01:38] <Pelo> TheCaptain,  we don'T actualy support ULtimate live cd ,  just get the regular dvd/cd and you can get the rest of the progs easily enough throught synaptic
[01:38] <Mirth> Any Video Editors that can edit AVI, like Sony Vegas?
[01:38] <d1gital> xtknight: does that mean the printer has to be connected to that computer? it is connected to this one(ubuntu) and i need to print from my laptop(windows)
[01:39] <xtknight> Mirth, kino ?
[01:39] <TheCaptain> It starts up fine and I can see the loading bar and opening animation, but when the bar hits 100% it "sort of" boots into the OS. As in, I can see it's loading it up but the video is all wrong

[01:41] <TheCaptain> How do I lower the resolution without booting into the os
[01:41] <xtknight> using CUPS IPP (internet printing protocol) on Windows
[01:41] <Insolit> i believe you'll find them there
[01:42] <Flare183> i don't know..
[01:42] <godtvisken> how do i reconfigure X windows?
[01:42] <LjL> !xconfig > godtvisken    (godtvisken, see the private message from Ubotu)
[01:42] <awenasidilisome> insolit: i'll go there and check hold on
[01:42] <godtvisken> thanks
[01:42] <c_lisp> so on snayptic I type dvd::rip lavid?
[01:42] <ironcitadel> If someone is running Feisty from Herd5 will it upgrade to Beta with apt-get dist-upgrade?
[01:42] <xtknight> d1gital, maybe this will be more helpful http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=110931
[01:42] <c_lisp> and it decodes and turns to avis easy?
[01:42] <LjL> ironcitadel: sure.
[01:42] <Darwin> wat's a good way to convert rmvb format files to ogg theora?
[01:43] <xtknight> Darwin, mencoder
[01:43] <Death_Sargent> thanks
[01:43] <xtknight> or perhaps VideoLAN client
[01:43] <Mirth> How can I make an Application start on Startup?
[01:43] <lavid> c_lisp: search for dvdrip, and yes, it's simple
[01:43] <LjL> !startup > mirth    (mirth, see the private message from Ubotu)
[01:43] <xtknight> Mirth, edit your gnome session properties
[01:43] <TheCaptain> So it's definitely a resolution issue?
[01:43] <ironcitadel> Great, LjL.  I guess I'm up to date then <grin>
[01:43] <xtknight> Mirth, startup of pc or startup of your GNOME/user acct
[01:43] <xtknight> TheCaptain, no
[01:43] <gikid> wow
[01:43] <TheCaptain> I see
[01:43] <awenasidilisome> insolit: sourceforge.net is what i remember
[01:43] <xtknight> TheCaptain, use safe graphics mode?
[01:43] <LjL> ironcitadel: guess what, it will even update to the final release the same way ;)
[01:44] <gikid> i just realized how huge this channel
[01:44] <awenasidilisome> insolit: right"
[01:44] <TheCaptain> I tried that. Same effect.
[01:44] <awenasidilisome> right?*
[01:44] <Pelo> ugh ? http://www.linux-watch.com/news/NS5306151939.html
[01:44] <xtknight> TheCaptain, what video card?
[01:44] <ironcitadel> Is that great or what?
[01:44] <TheCaptain> xtknight: ATI Mobility radeon x1300
[01:44] <Mirth> xtknight, I think when I start up GNOME.
[01:44] <billy> how do I pm ubotu?
[01:44] <Komsip> jeez I was logged on to here first time i ever ran xchat on ubuntu... is this on freenode?
[01:44] <xtknight> Mirth, system->preferences->sessions---->startup tab
[01:44] <Komsip> I didn't choose to go here
[01:44] <xtknight> Mirth, add a command, and you cant put any sudo cmds in there by the way
[01:45] <ironcitadel> Komsip  Yes, this is freenode
[01:45] <xtknight> TheCaptain, some details on your platform?  pc/laptop, motherboard, chipset, cpu, etc?
[01:45] <Flare183> TheCaptain:>happened to me once but I changed the resolution and it fixed it so...
[01:45] <Komsip> thanks
[01:45] <Mirth> Ah, okay, will try that
[01:45] <Mirth> Thanks XTknight
[01:45] <billy> !backup > billy
[01:45] <ComputerMagic> how would i update gnome?!?!
[01:45] <xtknight> ComputerMagic, same way you update all other progs
[01:45] <TheCaptain> xtknight: It's a Acer Travelmate 8204WLMI, dual core. Let me grab the specs
[01:45] <ComputerMagic> well update gnome to the most current version
[01:45] <Flare183> !update | ComputerMagic
[01:45] <ubotu> ComputerMagic: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[01:46] <xtknight> ComputerMagic, synaptic/update-manager do that for you already.  you have the latest version
[01:46] <Insolit> awenasidilisome: http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/
[01:46] <lontra> ComputerMagic: don't use so many !?
[01:46] <chump> i need some help with evince a pdf reader  when i try to print from it it make my printer crash .. i got a samsung ml-1610 mono laser printer and it only do error when i try to print
[01:46] <Flare183> does anybody know how to play SPC files without having to use XMMS?
[01:47] <xtknight> Flare183, what's SPC?
[01:47] <kondor101> 7.04 problem,  i am used to 4 desktops, now i have 2, how do i add more?!
[01:47] <TheCaptain> xtknight. turns out its a mobility radeon x1600
[01:47] <chump> but i can print from firefox without any problem
[01:47] <awenasidilisome> insolit: thanks for that
[01:47] <ComputerMagic> xtknight:well the gnome site has a newer version or can i not upgrade in that way..
[01:47] <penguinlord> ubu works
[01:47] <xtknight> kondor101, right click on the two and goto propeties for that panel
[01:47] <penguinlord> yeyea
[01:47] <Flare183> xtknight:> it's a type of sound dump from the Super Nintendo Video Game system
[01:47] <kondor101> xtknight:  that was easy lol,  thanks
[01:47] <xtknight> ComputerMagic, you can't really upgrade that way.  it's not a gnome supported by ubuntu 6.10 yet, not officially
[01:47] <Darwin> What's a good, affordable router supported well by Ubuntu?
[01:48] <xtknight> Darwin, any tcp/ip
[01:48] <Flare183> and without having to use Audio Overload as well
[01:48] <Mr> hello :) can someone please tell me how could I download files via SSH ? thank you
[01:48] <ComputerMagic> xtknight: but is there an unoffical way of getting it
[01:48] <lontra> ComputerMagic: you'll need to upgrade to feisty
[01:48] <lontra> ComputerMagic: or compile it yourself
[01:48] <xtknight> ComputerMagic, you can compile it.  but i wouldnt recommend it unless you know how
[01:48] <TheCaptain> xtknight: any other ideas?
[01:48] <Mirth> How do I run gDesklets from the terminal?
[01:48] <Slart> Darwin: "supported router"? real routers don't need support from the os.. if a router needs a driver it's a bad router...
[01:48] <awenasidilisome> insolit: got it downloaded and i'm looking at the files
[01:48] <xtknight> Mirth, gdesklets<tab>?
[01:49] <ironcitadel> Mr. - What you want is scp "secure-copy"
[01:49] <Mirth> What is the <tab> xtknight?
[01:49] <xtknight> Flare183, hmm is SPC a container or a codec then?
[01:49] <xtknight> Mirth, autocomplete
[01:49] <Flare183> mirth:>create another launcher and in the command line type in:    gnome-terminail
[01:49] <lontra> gnome 2.18 isn't too much different than 2.16 imo
[01:49] <penguinlord> anyone know of any free internet
[01:49] <penguinlord> idc how slow
[01:49] <xtknight> gnome is never any different
[01:49] <xtknight> never seems like it anyway
[01:49] <penguinlord> i need it to dl packets for ubu
[01:49] <lontra> xtknight: i agree
[01:49] <xtknight> so .16,.18 what's the diff
[01:50] <Flare183> xtknight:> yeah it's in the "bad" or "ugly" part of gstreamer but i can't get it to work
[01:50] <Mr> ironcitadel i'm runing edgy i have succesfully instaled ssh and i see i have to install scp now. thanks; i might bug you with some questions because i'm kinda new :) thanks again
[01:50] <Slart> Darwin: most routers have some kind of web-interface for configuration.. that only requires a web-reader to use.. if the router-makers aren't royally retarded they make it usable with firefox or similar..
[01:50] <Flare183> xtknight:> not gstreamer but the codec itself
[01:50] <lontra> xtknight: very little...very little difference between 2.14 too
[01:50] <ironcitadel> No prob, amigo!
[01:50] <xtknight> Flare183, hmm. gstreamer-properties maybe?  there's some gstreamer seutp
[01:50] <TheCaptain> Alright, I'll try playing with the resolution and come back
[01:50] <xtknight> TheCaptain, hmm how?
[01:50] <Flare183> thecaptain:> good luck
[01:50] <xtknight> TheCaptain, use the alternate install cd if all else fails
[01:51] <Flare183> i did you have to know your desktop very well through
[01:51] <xtknight> TheCaptain, then you can stop gdm, edit xorg, fix it, and have a working system
[01:51] <xtknight> !alternate | TheCaptain
[01:51] <ubotu> TheCaptain: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.
[01:51] <sdrev> I use the bookmark bar in firefox to access my bookmarks. in windows i was able to drag the bookmarks around to organize them, but I don't seem to do that in unbuntu. is this a gnome limitation, or is there some way i can work around this?
[01:51] <lontra> the new human openoffice theme in feisty is real sweet
[01:51] <Flare183> or use sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:51] <lontra> openoffice has needed an overhaul for a while
[01:52] <gnomefreak> sdrev: please file a bug and subscribe me to it
[01:52] <Slart> sdrev: I can't do that either.. I can still drag pages *to* the bookmark field.. but I can't move the ones that are there
[01:52] <sdrev> gnomefreak: how do i file a bug?
[01:52] <gnomefreak> !bugs
[01:52] <ubotu> If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.ubuntu.com/  -  Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/products/ubuntu-bots
[01:52] <Flare183> bugzilla
[01:52] <gnomefreak> Flare183: no launchpad
[01:52] <Flare183> oh nevermind
[01:52] <gnomefreak> we dont use bugzilla anymore atleast since breezy
[01:53] <sdrev> gnomefreak: and how do i subscribe you to it?
[01:53] <ironcitadel> I've been able to move bookmarks around all I want in Firefox.  Just click on bookmarks, go to the top and click on manage bookmarks.
[01:53] <Flare183> oh snap i had better switch then i got edgy
[01:53] <gnomefreak> sdrev: file bug and give me bug number ill do the rest
[01:53] <sdrev> gnomefreak: ok
[01:53] <Slart> ironcitadel: in windows you could just move them around without opening the bookmark manager.. just drag from the bookmark field
[01:53] <commando> How do I add printer at the command line?
[01:53] <gnomefreak> sdrev: please give as much info on how to reproduce as you can and what ubuntu version and ff version
[01:53] <xtknight> commando, gnome-cups-add
[01:53] <pagan0ne> ok, problem 2, where do i direct a program to get input from my mic at?
[01:54] <MrPotbut> what filesystem should i use for ubuntu?
[01:54] <xtknight> MrPotbut, ext3
[01:54] <ironcitadel> Hmm.  Sounds like a better idea.  I never tried it in Linux ff.
[01:54] <Flare183> ext3
[01:54] <MrPotbut> thank you xtknight
[01:54] <Flare183> yeah
[01:54] <commando> ext3 should be fine
[01:54] <Slart> MrPotbut: I use reiserFS.. I with I didn't.. go with ext3
[01:54] <sdrev> gnomefreak: the bug occurs in both edgy and fiesty, should i file 2 reports, or just one?
[01:54] <xtknight> xfs for virtual machines and big files.  ext3 for everyone else
[01:54] <Slart> MrPotbut: *I wish I didn't
[01:54] <awenasidilisome> insolit: i can't get bcm43xx-fwcutter to work
[01:55] <Flare183> try modprobe bcm43xx
[01:55] <gnomefreak> sdrev: just one
[01:55] <Flare183> on the terminal
[01:55] <ironcitadel> Nope, it doesn't work.  You have to go to the "Organize Bookmarks" page.  Sigh.
[01:55] <awenasidilisome> didn't do anything visible
[01:55] <Flare183> try sudomodprobe bcm43xx
[01:55] <Flare183> try sudo modprobe bcm43xx sorry
[01:55] <awenasidilisome> did the same thing
[01:56] <Flare183> crap
[01:56] <awenasidilisome> well how do i get the driver where there supposed to be is what i should ask
[01:56] <Flare183> can't help anymore on that since that fixed my problem with my card
[01:56] <xtknight> awenasidilisome, what does 'sudo modprobe bcm43xx' say
[01:56] <Flare183> ndiswrapper
[01:56] <Flare183> bcm5wl
[01:56] <Flare183> something like that
[01:56] <awenasidilisome> it just brings it back to the user@computername :~$
[01:56] <xtknight> awenasidilisome, it loaded successfully
[01:57] <Mirth> On my GRUB boot screen, Windows Vista is at the top.  How can I make it so that Ubuntu is the default?
[01:57] <xtknight> awenasidilisome, pastebin `dmesg | tail`
[01:57] <Mirth> in the menu.lst file?
[01:57] <xtknight> Mirth, yes
[01:57] <Slart> Mirth: check /boot/grub/menu.lst
[01:57] <Haekke> Hello. I have a netcard problem. When my computer boots up the lights on the netcard are on but as soon as it starts loading grub it turns off .. never happened before.. what do I do?
[01:57] <xtknight> Mirth, there should be an entry that says default or something like that
[01:58] <Mirth> "makeactive"?
[01:58] <Mirth> Is that the same as default?
[01:58] <xtknight> any way of installing ubuntu from the livecd, other than ubiquity which is crashing for me ?  (Feisty but i assume there are default chroot install steps)
[01:58] <Slart> Mirth: hmm.. don't think so
[01:58] <Mirth> Oh..
[01:58] <MrPotbut> do i have to make a swap partition myself?
[01:58] <Death_Sargent> hpram prevents me from logging in
[01:58] <Death_Sargent> i have to use recovery mode
[01:58] <xtknight> MrPotbut, sudo swapon /block/device
[01:59] <Death_Sargent> how do i remove from run level
[01:59] <xtknight> MrPotbut, to make it permenant put swap in fstab
[01:59] <Slart> Mirth: ## default num
[01:59] <Slart> # Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and
[01:59] <Slart> # the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used.
[01:59] <Slart> Mirth: mine says "default 0"
[01:59] <Death_Sargent> can't use the gui interface
[01:59] <Haekke> nobody?
[01:59] <Slart> Mirth: change according to withes/dreams/expectations.. =)
[01:59] <commando> How do I midagate the hpram problem?
[01:59] <rocco_> hello, I have accidentally somehow removed my 'applications' 'places' etc menus from the top of the screen, all that remains is the firefox tab and evolution email and help button
[01:59] <Slart> withes?? I can't type today.. wishes
[01:59] <rocco_> how do i restore the default menus at the top?
[02:00] <jimwhimpey> how can I go about sshing to my Ubuntu box outside my local network?
[02:00] <Mr> ironcitadel despite i'm using the syntax given on ubuntu guide ( scp -r username@<IP_ADDRESS>:/home/username/remotefile.txt . ) i still get the usage of the scp . where could i be wrong
[02:00] <awenasidilisome> i'm having a problem trying to figure out what you mean
[02:00] <gotp> hi, i'm trying to update my ubuntu, but it doesn't work
[02:00] <Slart> rocco_: can't you right-click on it, select "add to panel" and find "main menu"?
[02:00] <gotp> tells me i need to do a dist-update, but it doesn't work as well
[02:00] <mihailo> can anyone here give me a working xorg config with twinview?
[02:00] <Haekke> Hello. I have a netcard problem. When my computer boots up the lights on the netcard are on but as soon as it starts loading grub it turns off .. never happened before.. what do I do?

[02:02] <Flare183> repo problem
[02:02] <Slart> rocco_: it worked?
[02:02] <DARKGuy> Hey people :). Anybody knows how to change the gnome clock to a 12-hour time format? all it has is "24 hours", "UNIX time" and "UTC" :(
[02:02] <Slart> guess so
[02:02] <Flare183> he just quit on you
[02:02] <xtknight> DARKGuy, gee that's odd, mine has 12 hour listed
[02:02] <jeff__> hey all, is there a Ubuntu equivalent of "Crtl-alt-delete"? I get system freezes once and a while, and must completely reboot. Anyway to just shut down whatever the offending application is?
[02:02] <Slart> DARKGuy: mine has "24 hour" and "12 hour" too...
[02:03] <xtknight> DARKGuy, right click time, and preferences?
[02:03] <gotp> can anybody help me ?
[02:03] <gotp> can't update anymore
[02:03] <DARKGuy> xtknight, Slart: Ubuntu edgy? =/
[02:03] <Mirth> So like...
[02:03] <xtknight> jeff__, control alt backspace to kill X
[02:03] <gnomefreak> jeff__: ctrol+alt+delete will reboot your pc
[02:03] <awenasidilisome> ctrl alt del always works for me
[02:03] <xtknight> DARKGuy, feisty here but pretty sure edgy has it
[02:03] <ardchoille> jeff__: xkill  or  gnome-system-monitor
[02:03] <DARKGuy> xtknight: I'm right there
[02:03] <Pelo> jeff__,  ctrl + alt + backspace  will restart  Xwindow
[02:03] <Slart> DARKGuy: I'm running edgy, yes
[02:03] <Mirth> If it says "default		0", and my top choice in GRUB is Vista, that is 0?
[02:03] <Flare183> control alt backspace helps me most of the time
[02:03] <Mirth> And Ubuntu is 1?
[02:03] <Slart> Mirth: I think so
[02:03] <DARKGuy> xtknight, Slart: Weird... I'll upload a screenshot o.o
[02:04] <awenasidilisome> where can i find the the directory for drivers
[02:04] <xtknight> awenasidilisome, /lib/modules
[02:04] <ironcitadel> Mr - I just did a sample scp on our network like this:
[02:04] <Mirth> Okay, gonna test it out
[02:04] <Flare183> system directory of windows
[02:04] <gotp> anybody

[02:04] <Haekke> Hello. I have a netcard problem. When my computer boots up the lights on the netcard are on but as soon as it starts loading grub it turns off .. never happened before.. what do I do?

[02:04] <hiways85> anyone can tell me how to install bootscreen for ubuntu i deleted it
[02:04] <ironcitadel> scp user@hostname:/path/to/file .   and it went like a charm.
[02:04] <jeff__> Thanks!
[02:04] <xtknight> !usplash | hiways85

[02:04] <Pelo> Flare183,  yes ;you should be sorry
[02:05] <Mr> ironcitadel thanks alot :)
[02:05] <Flare183> Pelo:> i'm not perfect
[02:05] <awenasidilisome> i foudn where the bcm43xx drivers are now
[02:05] <Slart> DARKGuy: I have "show seconds", "show date", "Use UTC" and "24 hour"/"12 hour" in my preferences..
[02:05] <awenasidilisome> but i still need to move the ones i just got to there
[02:05] <hiways85> i meant the whole boot process, sorry
[02:05] <xtknight> 12hr,24hr,unix time,net time here
[02:05] <Haekke> anybody??
[02:05] <DARKGuy> Slart: Same here, except the "12 hour" menu item :/
[02:05] <Slart> DARKGuy: you're using the default clock, right?
[02:05] <cafuego_> awenasidilisome: You need the firmware files as well as the drivers.
[02:05] <hiways85> now it just login to xp without any options
[02:05] <DARKGuy> Slart: how so?
[02:05] <DARKGuy> Slart: you mean the default gnome panel clock applet?
[02:06] <ironcitadel> Mr - Did you include the "to" directory in your command line?  for example "." without the quotes for "here"?
[02:06] <Slart> DARKGuy: just so you're not running "DARKGuys own, homemade clock application" =)
[02:06] <hiways85> i deleted it but now i can't remember, did that few months ago
[02:06] <xtknight> how do i force an NTP time update?
[02:06] <DARKGuy> Slart: Lol xD... nah, I'd make one to show 12-hour time format if I could
[02:06] <awenasidilisome> i got bcm43xx-fwcutter.1, fwcutter.c fwcutter.h fwcutter_list.h
[02:06] <Haekke> Hello. I have a netcard problem. When my computer boots up the lights on the netcard are on but as soon as it starts loading grub it turns off .. never happened before.. what do I do?   I've now sorted it but want to know if I can configure it to play videos at Full screen on the Clone?
[02:07] <jexdawg13> i just used synaptic to install gtk-gnutella. its in my menu bar now... and i click it... and nothing happens. wha?
[02:07] <DARKGuy> xD
[02:07] <Slart> DARKGuy: hehe.. ok, scratch that idea then =)
[02:07] <joseito> gnomefreak ?
[02:08] <DARKGuy> Slart: Hehe xD - I thought people knew we use a 12-hour time format D:
[02:08] <gnomefreak> joseito: ?
[02:08] <tarlerulz> it there a way with the installer cd just copy of the os and not movie and other stuff I have on it
[02:08] <DARKGuy> That's it, I'm gonna get a binary clock now (j/k)

[02:08] <awenasidilisome> if the fwcutter are the newest version shoudln't that mean the drivers are done?

[02:09] <penguinlord> and it has 3
[02:09] <xtknight> penguinlord, they have dvds
[02:10] <DARKGuy> xtknight: okay, apt-get remove --purge and then install again?
[02:10] <ironcitadel> tarlerulz - No.   Applications get old fast.
[02:10] <joseito> DARKGuy...besides...I not speak english very good lol
[02:10] <joseito> hehe
[02:10] <michael117> I have 1.5GB of RAM but my computer still feels kind of slow when I have firefox, amarok, gaim, and other apps open... is there any way to optimize ubuntu to fully utilize my 1.5GB and other ways to speed it up altogether?
[02:10] <DARKGuy> joseito: I imagine :P
[02:10] <Zues_62> does anyone knw
[02:10] <Haekke> Hello. I have a netcard problem. When my computer boots up the lights on the netcard are on but as soon as it starts loading grub it turns off .. never happened before.. what do I do? Anybody???
[02:10] <ardchoille> bruenig: Indeed
[02:10] <xtknight> DARKGuy, sudo dpkg --purge --force-all gnome-panel && killall gnome-panel && sudo apt-get install gnome-panel && gnome-panel&
[02:10] <joseito> DARKGuy, but, Why you dont stay on ubuntu-ve?
[02:10] <DARKGuy> o.o
[02:11] <xtknight> DARKGuy, i guess, so long as u dont care about losing some gnome panel things.  though i just did it a second ago and it kept my toolbar arrangements
[02:11] <DARKGuy> joseito: too few people, I like places where there's lots of people... that gives more chances to get an answer - and they're split up in two channels, I disagree with that so I feel more "at home" here xD
[02:11] <DARKGuy> xtknight: uh, alright, lemme try o,o;
[02:11] <xtknight> !ask
[02:11] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:12] <Mirth> Pitivi doesn't work for me.
[02:12] <joseito> DARKGuy hahaha but ubuntu-ve is our locoteam...
[02:12] <Mirth> How do I uninstall it, so I can reinstall it?
[02:12] <Haekke> Hello. I have a netcard problem. When my computer boots up the lights on the netcard are on but as soon as it starts loading grub it turns off .. never happened before.. what do I do? Anybody???
[02:12] <ironcitadel> Is it ok if I ask about permission to ask a question I want to ask, I'm asking?
[02:12] <gnomefreak> sdrev: do you know if it worked on <IP_ADDRESS>? in edgy or feisty?
[02:13] <cables> !ask | ironcitadel
[02:13] <ubotu> ironcitadel: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:13] <xtknight> ironcitadel, we would rather you ask how to take over the world instead
[02:13] <DARKGuy> joseito: yeah, I know that :P
[02:13] <xtknight> or ask how to fix bug #1..
[02:13] <sdrev> gnomefreak: don't know, just set up ubuntu for the first time
[02:13] <gnomefreak> sdrev: ok ty ill look into it i assigned it to me
[02:13] <ironcitadel> Gotcha! <grin>
[02:13] <M4ri00sh> downloaded yesterday the 7.04 daily iso image alternate, installed, booted, and once i login into gnome 2 minutes later it freezes and i have to do manual reset ?? what the hell ??
[02:13] <jexdawg13> i just sudo apt-get updated and then sudo aptitude install gtk-gnutella. when i run it from terminal though, it says ANCIENT VERSION DETECTED.boo! what do i need to do to get the newest version?
[02:13] <xtknight> M4ri00sh, #ubuntu+1 channel for Feisty
[02:13] <joseito> DARKGuy also in April 28th the feistycitas...
[02:13] <sdrev> gnomefreak: thanks
[02:13] <penguinlord> lol
[02:13] <penguinlord> Z0MG
[02:14] <cables> M4ri00sh, it's a BETA.
[02:14] <gnomefreak> yw
[02:14] <cables> M4ri00sh, in addition, Feisty help is in #ubuntu+1
[02:14] <DARKGuy> joseito: oO where did you know that?
[02:14] <Haekke> Hello. I have a netcard problem. When my computer boots up the lights on the netcard are on but as soon as it starts loading grub it turns off .. never happened before.. what do I do? Anybody???
[02:15] <Haekke> anybody??
[02:15] <joseito> DARKGuy We work hard to do it
[02:15] <joseito> You're guest :)
[02:15] <joseito> What do you live?
[02:15] <ironcitadel> Haekke - do "dmesg|less" and check out what's happening during your boot sequence.
[02:15] <joseito> Where*
[02:15] <Askar> can someone confirm that it can harm flashmemorys when using them as swap, e.g writing to them very quickly???
[02:15] <DARKGuy> joseito: Heh, thanks XD... capital city, where's the event? o.o
[02:15] <M4ri00sh> xtknight: thank you :)
[02:16] <ardchoille> DARKGuy , joseito Please take that to #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:16] <joseito> Good...The event actually I dont know, but, I'll informate to you
[02:16] <xtknight> Askar, not that i know of.  i didnt know flash drives could be damaged by Writes
[02:16] <DARKGuy> ardchoille: kay, sorry
[02:16] <xtknight> Askar, are you trying to pull off a Vista Readyboost or sometihng?
[02:16] <joseito> ardchoille sorry, DARKGuy you can enter to ubuntu-ve to talk about it
[02:16] <xtknight> it's not the same thing because readyboost is a cache not a page file
[02:16] <DARKGuy> joseito: sure, lemme try to fix my clock first >.<
[02:17] <Haekke> ironcitadel: what should I look after?
[02:17] <joseito> DARKGuy lol, but, what ubuntu you're running?
[02:17] <Askar>  xtknight: Yeah...it works but im afraid it will hurt my flashmemory..
[02:17] <micahcowan> Askar, most flash media will stop working after some (relatively large) number of writes.
[02:17] <DARKGuy> Slart, xtknight: Nope, I just tried the command you gave me and it still shows 24, UNIX and UTC =/
[02:17] <ironcitadel> Haekke - What you want to see is that your nic driver is loading and setting up "eth0"
[02:17] <DARKGuy> joseito: 6.10 up to date
[02:18] <Askar> micahcowan: do you think it would be hurt if used as swap?
[02:18] <joseito> DARKGuy good I'm running Feisty Beta is soo stable omg :S
[02:18] <micahcowan> I'm not an expert in that area, but personally I wouldn't use it as swap: likely to drastically reduce its lifespan.
[02:18] <micahcowan> Askar ^^
[02:18] <Haekke> ironcitadel: sohuld I just do it in a terminal? It just pastes a lot of numbers?.. should it be at boot time?
[02:18] <jason_> how do you upgrade to fiesty?
[02:18] <awenasidilisome> out for now
[02:18] <Slart> DARKGuy: UNIX, utc and 24.... and the preferences box doesn't have the 24/12 selection box...
[02:19] <Askar> micahcowan: ok ill skip it then, thanks
[02:19] <DARKGuy> joseito: cool ^^
[02:19] <DARKGuy> Slart: Nope
[02:19] <ardchoille> !upgrade | jason_
[02:19] <ubotu> jason_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[02:19] <DARKGuy> Here's a screenie
[02:19] <Rohinton> Askar: There is a limited number of writes the memory can take, it probably in the small print :-)
[02:19] <ironcitadel> Haekke - Right.  Open a terminal or go to a console screen "ctrl-alt-F2".  The "less" part allows you to srcoll forward and backward
[02:19] <DARKGuy> Slart, xtknight: http://img481.imageshack.us/img481/5348/screen01gc1.png
[02:20] <ironcitadel> Er "scroll", that is.
[02:20] <alucard> ants are like linux
[02:21] <lontra> jason_: gksduo update-manager -d
[02:21] <Slart> DARKGuy: well.. it looks the same as mine.. exactly.. but in that 24-hour box I have "12 hour", "24 hour", "UNIX time" and "Internet time"
[02:21] <ironcitadel> (Oops.  I forgot to tell him about ctrl-alt-F7 to get back.  Drat, I hate when that happens.)
[02:21] <DARKGuy> Slart: could it be because you have a different timezone and someone forgot to add the 12-hour setting in the es_VE locale or something ?
[02:21] <lontra> jason_: i meant gksudo
[02:22] <Slart> DARKGuy: well. have you tried changing your timezone?
[02:22] <DARKGuy> Slart: not yet, I had a hard time when I played around with the time and sudo didn't want to work back then =/
[02:22] <jason_> lontra: thanks
[02:22] <Slart> DARKGuy: I just changed to Venezuala time and I still have to 12 hour option
[02:23] <DARKGuy> Slart: ... crazy o.O!
[02:23] <DARKGuy> Slart: I'll try changing timezones to see if that helps =/
[02:23] <Slart> DARKGuy: I'm going to do some googling to see if this is a known problem.. I'll be back
[02:23] <Haekke> ironcitadel: it says eth0 identified chip ... eth0 auto-negotiated..
[02:24] <xtknight> DARKGuy,  i have no idea
[02:24] <DARKGuy> Slart: Okay, I tried searching info in google about this but couldn't find much info, or maybe I don't know the correct keywords - I greatly appreciate the help
[02:24] <Haekke> ironcitadel: eth0: no ipv6 routers present
[02:24] <DARKGuy> xtknight: me either =P
[02:24] <ironcitadel> Haekke - sounds good.  It's loading the nic driver and assigning it to eth0.  Next ...
[02:25] <tha_toadman> can anyone here assist with LIRC for Ubuntu 6.10?
[02:25] <ironcitadel> H - do "ifconfig" and look for "inet address" and you should have your ip number for your network.
[02:25] <Mirth> Does anyone know if the Pitivi program in the repository even works?
[02:25] <Mirth> It won't even start for me...
[02:25] <jexdawg13> !pastebin
[02:25] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[02:26] <Haekke> ironcitadel: realtek  bla bla bla driver v 1.02.. relased.... link status : not linked....irq:201...
[02:26] <Slart> DARKGuy: looks like this might be an old bug.. spanish and italian language installations don't get the 12 hour clock.. have you tried setting it to english?
[02:26] <Slart> DARKGuy: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/langpack-locales/+bug/51255
[02:26] <jexdawg13> when i run frostwire (latest version) it will open for about ten seconds then close. heres the pastebin of when i run it in terminal: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12689/ - please help, because gtk-gnutella won't work for me either :(
[02:27] <rendo> Tried mounting an ISO and got this message ioctl: LOOP_CLR_FD: Device or resource busy.  What exactly does it mean, google didn't help.
[02:27] <ironcitadel> Hmm...  Sounds like the nic isn't working.  I don't know what else to tell you except maybe try a different nic.
[02:27] <tha_toadman> lirc anyone?
[02:27] <um_whoa> what nic are you having?
[02:28] <um_whoa> erm nic issue
[02:28] <Haekke> um_whoa: asking me?
[02:28] <ironcitadel> Those generic rtl's seem to be pretty darned good for cheapo cards.
[02:28] <DARKGuy> Slart: interesting, though I wonder why this hasn't been fixed yet... we're almost in April now :/ so adding the "am_pm" line that Emilio posts at the end would work o.o?
[02:28] <um_whoa> whoever is having one, and is it a desktop or a laptop
[02:28] <pewee> i bet it's called drivers because they are driving me crazy
[02:29] <Slart> DARKGuy: I have no idea.. if the fix was that easy they would have fixed it by now, surely
[02:29] <ironcitadel> In my opinion, they're better than some of the major brands.
[02:29] <pewee> anyone encountered freezes (only way out: hard reset) with 6.10 and those official nvidia drivers?
[02:29] <pewee> i'm running on a 8800GTS if that helps
[02:29] <Haekke> um_whoa: its a brand new desktop... worked fine earler
[02:29] <whta> hi, i'm having issues with extremely long logout times when logging out/ctrl alt backspace'ing
[02:29] <um_whoa> and you can't what connect to the net using pppoe?
[02:29] <pewee> I could cry. nv don't work with 8800 anymore and nvidia freezes. arrg.
[02:29] <harry_> is there a command line command that tells me all of my hardware?
[02:29] <DARKGuy> Slart: Well, time to hack some files XD, how do I see what's my current locale? I can't remember the command x.x
[02:30] <Haekke> um_whoa: nope. my net card turns its lights off at kernel boot.. so I cant use it
[02:30] <Slart> DARKGuy: there is a menu-thingy.. in either administration or preferences menu
[02:30] <Mirth> Anyone ever got Pitivi to work?
[02:30] <jrib> harry_: lspci or lshw
[02:30] <um_whoa> are you trying to make a pppoe connection?
[02:31] <Haekke> ironcitadel: yeah maybe it isnt working.. just wierd there are lights on at boot
[02:31] <budluva> can someone please help me, i cant get edgy to detect my usb harddrive, its plugged in, turned on, edgy didnt detect it on boot, but it shows up in lsusb, should it not automount itselft?
[02:31] <EkToBoT> hi folks i need the terminal command to edit the boot up menu.lst? can anyone help??
[02:31] <Haekke> um_whoa: .. its just connected to a switch and at kernel load it suddenly turns off
[02:31] <ironcitadel> Haekke - stranger things have been known to happen.  You should have been around when we used coax for networks.  Wow!
[02:32] <TheCaptain> I'm back with limited success :(
[02:32] <xtknight> EkToBoT, gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[02:32] <harry_> it's prolly not a good idea to run Feisty on an ATI RAGE 2, right?
[02:32] <um_whoa>  vi menu.lst
[02:32] <EkToBoT> thanks
[02:32] <xtknight> harry_, why not?
[02:32] <xtknight> harry_, not for beryl but for everything else it should be fine
[02:32] <DARKGuy> Slart: Language support? it's downloading some needed language packs now, hope that fixes it or else I'm gonna go editing some files in /usr/share/i18n/locales :P
[02:32] <harry_> well, it's kinda old. it only has 4MB of vRAM
[02:32] <n33o> Hello, can someone please help me, i have been trying to get my tv card to work for days now, it has drivers for Windows XP.. easy click and install... but i want to use linux.. because it is more up to date.. please someone help me out.. this is my card.. ... http://www.sunsway.com.hk/photo/tv-fm.jpg  I need to get it working .. its a phillips chipset.
[02:32] <TheCaptain> xtknight: I tried every possible resolution and i tried loading it with live vga=771 but nothing is working. Also ctrl alt f12 leads to just a blinking cursor and no prompt
[02:32] <Haekke> ironcitadel: hah yeah I remember those.. they vere awful.. had to block non used ends etc.
[02:32] <the_rampant> Budluva ---- there is an option in system / preferences / removable drives and media preferences
[02:32] <xtknight> harry_, ah didnt realize it was THAT old :P
[02:32] <tha_toadman> xtknight: vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
[02:33] <tha_toadman> or vi - whatever
[02:33] <Slart> DARKGuy: yup. .that's what I just did.. I'm a bit disappointed that everything didn't turn into spanish.. perhaps a reboot is needed for that
[02:33] <um_whoa> Haejje, i sent you a private message
[02:33] <xtknight> TheCaptain, hmm, odd.  did you try the 'acpi=verbose irqpoll' kernel options?
[02:33] <budluva> the_rampant, yeah it all looks good in there
[02:33] <xtknight> maybe they will give you some debug msges or fix irq problems
[02:33] <um_whoa> erm haekke that is
[02:33] <n33o> Hello, can someone please help me, i have been trying to get my tv card to work for days now, it has drivers for Windows XP.. easy click and install... but i want to use linux.. because it is more up to date.. please someone help me out.. this is my card.. ... http://www.sunsway.com.hk/photo/tv-fm.jpg  I need to get it working .. its a phillips chipset.
[02:34] <budluva> the_rampant, still doesn't show up though
[02:34] <bighouse> hi can someone tell me how or where to get the Gstreamer plugin for mp3 for RhythmBox?
[02:34] <TheCaptain> xtknight, not yet. I'll try that next.
[02:34] <Haekke> um_whoa: didnt get one.. plz check again
[02:34] <EkToBoT> xtknight: why would it look like i have 2 versions installed
[02:34] <um_whoa> i just sent you another one
[02:35] <ironcitadel> n33o - do a "dmesg|less" and check to see if it's being recognized on bootup.  Look to see if "bttv" is loading or not.
[02:35] <DARKGuy> Slart: me too :( well, if anything, I'll submit the fix if I can find it - thanks for the tip and the time, you too xtknight :)
[02:35] <Slart> DARKGuy: you're welcome.. hope it works out for you
[02:35] <Haekke> hmm wierd.. I just sent you one aswell.. seems like something is wrong...  /join #haekkenetworkerror and talk there??
[02:36] <DARKGuy> Slart: thanks :)
[02:36] <harry_> I'm trying to install Feisty Beta on my good machine via the updater , {I'm on a sandbox right now} and it is asking me "Replace the customized configuration file '/etc/login.defs' ? Should I? What effect will that have?
[02:36] <n33o> ironcitadel>> it is being recognised
[02:36] <um_whoa> hold on, i just realized something about my nic card  that isn't cool at all
[02:36] <um_whoa> brb
[02:36] <flickernoise718> hi
[02:36] <bighouse> im on Edgy 2.11
[02:36] <Haekke> ok
[02:36] <ironcitadel> n33o - ok, do "lsmod" and make sure bttv and bt878 are being associated.
[02:37] <n33o> what are bttv? bt878
[02:37] <lontra> harry_: i would just select the default (which is to keep it as it is)
[02:37] <xtknight> n33o, they are kernel modules, aka. drivers
[02:37] <jason_> anyone know of any good sites that have ubuntu podcasts about ubuntu itself?
[02:37] <ironcitadel> n33o - Most TV cards are built on the Brooktree chipset and the generic BT chip is the bt878.  Those are the linux drivers
[02:38] <flickernoise718> I need help with getting some radeon drivers installed for ubuntu 6.10
[02:38] <michael117> What are the best linux podcasts in general?
[02:38] <harry_> What's new in Feisty, anyways?
[02:38] <Ryan__> where is the apache's configuration file located?
[02:38] <bruenig> !feisty | harry_
[02:38] <ubotu> harry_: The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn") should be released in April 2007.

[02:39] <n33o> Is there a way to check if i have the drivers on my system other than scanning the code?

[02:39] <whta> hi, i'm having issues with extremely long logout times when logging out/ctrl alt backspace'ing
[02:39] <jason_> nobody does ubuntu podcasts?
