[04:00] <e-jat> HealthyElijah, try echo $PATH like SuperQ say
[04:00] <HealthyElijah> huh, you guys are right,
[04:00] <unavailable> jameslr you think its related to hibernate?  nothing was plugged into usb when i tested hibernate
[04:00] <HealthyElijah> first time it didn't work or at least I thought it didn't but maybe I didn'y notice.
[04:01] <jameslr> jameslr: possibly. maybe udev is choking on this hibernate
[04:01] <unavailable> ok
[04:01] <unavailable> rofl
[04:01] <HealthyElijah> SuperQ: what does echo $PATH do?
[04:01]  * unavailable noticed jameslr messaged himself

[04:06] <name_name> sudo chown user_me  /media/sda4
[04:06] <name_name> chown: changing ownership of `/media/sda4': Operation not permitted
[04:06] <name_name> I own the box and know the root password what's wrong here
[04:07] <webjames_> jarid, hmm.. i see what you mean. mines not changing either, i think you might have to tell it to use the emerald theme manager
[04:07] <jarid> how
[04:08] <indio> Got to ssh-keygen... dunno which one to choose. RSA or DSA?
[04:08] <webjames_> jarid,  emerald --replace
[04:08] <webjames_> jarid,  that is type "emerald --replace" in the terminal
[04:09] <jahnkeanater> how do i move a file with stuf in it
[04:09] <jahnkeanater> im trying to move my old web sight from home to /ver
[04:09] <jahnkeanater> var
[04:10] <name_name> jahnkeanater: lol use the GUI or 'mv /original_file/  /new_file
[04:10] <webjames_> jahnkeanater, is it a permission error you are getting?
[04:10] <unavailable> jameslr yep that fixed it
[04:10] <jahnkeanater> yea
[04:10] <unavailable> thanks man
[04:11] <chubs_> jahnkeanater: sudo cp
[04:11] <GRUBFSCK> hi everyone
[04:11] <webjames_> jahnkeanater, alt+f2 then "gksudo nautilus"
[04:11] <jahnkeanater> ok cp works
[04:12] <meme> kijdufy
[04:12] <chubs_> webjames: no need to start a new x session over it ;)
[04:12] <GRUBFSCK> i recently removed some old HDs (not the ones with my installation on it, natch) and now GRUB won't get to the menu: I get an error 15
[04:12] <marcioapf> has anybody tested google earth on ubuntu yet?
[04:12] <name_name> how do I  set permissions for /media/sda4 to my user I can't write data there without going into xterm and using sudo -s
[04:12] <webjames_> chubs_, i just thought that opened up nautilus file manager with root rights?
[04:12] <GRUBFSCK> when I try to install grub, "find /boot/grub/stage1" gives me an error 15 as well
[04:13] <chubs_> webjames: oh oops, nevermind. I read that as ctrl+alt+f2
[04:13] <bastid_raZor> marcioapf; if i remember correctly there is a package for it.
[04:13] <jarid> emerald --replace works but when i quit terminal it exits it
[04:13] <GRUBFSCK> anyone know what I can do to install grub again?
[04:13] <chubs_> webjames: yep it does my mistake, i just always go through the terminal when i do that
[04:13] <webjames_> GRUBFSCK, maybe your boot partition was on it
[04:13] <marcioapf> bastid_raZor i installed it but when i initialize it, ubuntu logs off
[04:13] <bastid_raZor> jarid; press alt f2 then run that command
[04:13] <GRUBFSCK> no, it wasn't i know for sure
[04:13] <GRUBFSCK> in any case i just want to install GRUB onto /
[04:14] <name_name> y?
[04:14] <webjames_> GRUBFSCK, was the disk you removed first in the boot order, even if nothing was installed on it?
[04:14] <bastid_raZor> marcioapf; run it in command line to see what errors it is giving.
[04:14] <GRUBFSCK> (but i'm on the live cd, so "/" is only temporary)
[04:14] <jarid> alt f2 nothing
[04:14] <GRUBFSCK> ya, the two HDs were on an expansion card that i removed
[04:14] <marcioapf> bastid_raZor, you mean i should type googleearth on command line?
[04:15] <GRUBFSCK> one of those PCI fakeraid things
[04:15] <webjames_> GRUBFSCK, there are howto's on the internet: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351
[04:15] <jahnkeanater> i have a file called thumbs.db what is that
[04:15] <d4rkmonkey> I seem to have some weird video problems. When streaming pretty much anything thats not flash from the internet, it becomes mostly red/green and the colours are all off. Also, I just tried to watch a DVD and the same thing happened but than totem froze. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I'm running Hardy and my graphics card is an Intel 965GM
[04:15] <name_name> jahnkeanater: stuff from windows
[04:15] <webjames_> jahnkeanater, a windows thumbnail file
[04:15] <bastid_raZor> marcioapf; yes, possibly it will give you a hint as to why it crashes.
[04:15] <jahnkeanater> is it important
[04:15] <name_name> no
[04:15] <jahnkeanater> ok i can del it
[04:15] <name_name> yes
[04:15] <marcioapf> bastid_raZor, ok
[04:15] <jarid> emerald --replace works but when i quit terminal it exits it alt f2 nether
[04:15] <name_name> rm *.db
[04:16] <jahnkeanater> i had my websight backed up on my comp for a wile
[04:16] <Makro1> hello
[04:16] <jahnkeanater> thx
[04:16] <GRUBFSCK> thank you webjames! that's exactly what i was looking for, i'd found several other pages but none were for the right version of ubuntu
[04:16] <bastid_raZor> jarid; alt f2 will give you a run dialog box. you are not running emerald --replace in the terminal when using alt f2.
[04:16] <HealthyElijah> when i type firefox into the terminal, it opens the program but then never goes back to a new prompt and when i hit ctrl-c it closes firefox and doesn't give me a new prompt
[04:16] <GRUBFSCK> +1 karma for you
[04:16] <HealthyElijah> same with pidgin
[04:16] <jarid> nothing comes us with alt f2
[04:17] <jarid> up
[04:17] <Makro1> i got problems installing java media frame work, every time i try to unpack..i got errors and nothings unpacked..i have download the same file like three times all with the same size in bytes...
[04:17] <bastid_raZor> jarid you're holding alt while pressing F2 the function key not f then 2
[04:17] <webjames_> HealthyElijah, that's because your running through the terminal
[04:17] <jarid> i know nothing
[04:17] <HealthyElijah> webjames_:  isn't there something i can type after "firefox" to close the command?
[04:18] <name_name> hey how do I send windows to diff desktops, I can do that in Red Hat etc, but it's not in the Ubunut gui
[04:18] <webjames_> HealthyElijah, firefox -d
[04:18] <name_name> without clicking and dragging of course
[04:18] <HealthyElijah> name_name: just right click the window and it gives you the otpion
[04:18] <kipseron> firefox &
[04:18] <chubs_> name_name: right click the menu bar
[04:18] <jarid> got it
[04:19] <name_name> chubs_: it has min/max/move/on_top/resize/quit
[04:19] <webjames_> chubs_, should say move to desktop right/left
[04:19] <name_name> chubs_: there's no sent to workspace like there is in Red Hat etc.
[04:19] <jahnkeanater> how do i take the premisions off
[04:19] <name_name> chubs_: I've using GL Desktop
[04:19] <webjames_> chubs_, how many desktops have you got?
[04:19] <PPKuma> hi, i've mounter an iso file in a tmp folder, is there any way to configure wine so it finds the cd?
[04:20] <HealthyElijah> name_name: yeah it says "send window to workspace ___"
[04:20] <name_name> 4 desktops on the cube
[04:20] <jahnkeanater> inorder for it to work on the websight i hcant hive them protected
[04:20] <webjames_> jahnkeanater, what permissions of what?
[04:20] <jahnkeanater> i get forbidin
[04:20] <chubs_> webjames: name_name was the one with the problem, but if you're curious i have two on two separate x sessions each (two monitors)
[04:20] <HealthyElijah> name_name: actually "move to another workspace____"
[04:20] <jahnkeanater> the files have a ornge x over them
[04:20] <jahnkeanater> and owner is root
[04:21] <jahnkeanater> how do i change that
[04:21] <webjames_> chubs_, sorry, but thanks for the info :)
[04:21] <chubs_> no problem :)
[04:21] <webjames_> jahnkeanater, which files?
[04:21] <name_name> HealthyElijah: it's not there when I run GL Desktop
[04:21] <jahnkeanater> the files you just helped me move
[04:21] <name_name> with it off then all the stuff is there
[04:21] <jahnkeanater> they are procted now
[04:22] <jahnkeanater> how do i take ownership
[04:22] <jahnkeanater> of a file
[04:22] <webjames_> jahnkeanater, pressing Alt+F2 then typing "gksudo nautilus" will bring up a file manager window with the permissions to do whatever, but be careful you don't delete something you need
[04:22] <Jack_Sparrow> !chmod
[04:22] <Jack_Sparrow> !chown
[04:23] <jahnkeanater> ok so if i do that again and change premisiton that will fix it
[04:23] <name_name> so why does GL Desktop disable the send to workspace stuff
[04:23] <name_name> that's sorta mean
[04:23] <webjames_> jahnkeanater, no, it's "chown $user /dir"
[04:24] <HealthyElijah> name_name: I am unfamiliar with the GL desktop, i am a noob
[04:24] <chubs_> jahnkeanater: if you're referring to using nautilus, yes. Just change permissions to yourself and apply to all directories
[04:24] <webjames_> jahnkeanater, or as i said before using nautilus then you can use the GUI
[04:24] <jahnkeanater> what should i set owner as
[04:24] <HealthyElijah> webjames_: what does th -d mean, just for future reference
[04:25] <Jack_Sparrow> !permissions
[04:25] <name_name> user@chii:~$ chown user /media/sda4
[04:25] <name_name> chown: changing ownership of `/media/sda4': Operation not permitted
[04:25] <chubs_> sudo chown
[04:25] <name_name> HealthyElijah: it's the fancy 3d cube
[04:26] <mynetdude> name_name fancy 3d cube as in compiz?
[04:26] <mynetdude> btw.. I saw a pic of a fancy cylinder... what does that?
[04:26] <amps2volts> hey what does everybody think is the best brand for a sound card that will work well with linux?
[04:26] <name_name> root@chii:~# chown user /media/sda4
[04:26] <name_name> chown: changing ownership of `/media/sda4': Operation not permitted
[04:26] <webjames_> my P4 3.2Ghz 512ram nVidia 6600gs plays 720p hd video's slightly jerky and wont play 1080p videos, what should i upgrade? or is it a total upgrade job?
[04:26] <name_name> what's wrong
[04:27] <chubs_> webjames: is it a laptop or a desktop?
[04:27] <name_name>  mynetdude: yes, compiz, it's disable my send to workspace stuff for windows
[04:28] <mynetdude> . hello?
[04:28] <mynetdude> guess I"m here
[04:28] <MoreOvaltine> hello all
[04:28] <webjames> name_name, you could try disabling desktop cube, i've got the desktop wall thingy working here with send to
[04:28] <MoreOvaltine> I was wondering can i use my windows as a FTP server to install Ubuntu server?
[04:29] <webjames> MoreOvaltine, it would be far easier to burn a cd
[04:29] <name_name> webjames: disabling it gives me the send to workspace stuff, but then the cube is disabled Y__Y
[04:29] <jahnkeanater> how do i gain permision for that file
[04:30] <MoreOvaltine> I ran out of cds
[04:30] <jahnkeanater> it is for a websight
[04:30] <webjames> name_name, it must be you compiz config, you could try deleting it
[04:30] <name_name> WEBSITE!

[04:30] <name_name> webjames: do you think it's in the compiz config?
[04:31] <webjames> name_name, your config is probably stored in $home/.compiz
[04:31] <jahnkeanater> when i go to my Web sight it tells me forbidin
[04:31] <name_name> jahnkeanater: website website website
[04:31] <webjames> jahnkeanater, what do you mean? localhost
[04:31] <jahnkeanater> ok fine i dont care
[04:32] <Starnestommy> jahnkeanater: make sure that everyone has read permissions on those files
[04:32] <name_name> dlozarie: system --> administration --> Symaticas Package Manager
[04:32] <jahnkeanater> i have an apache and i moved the old html files and now it tells me forbidin when i go to it
[04:32] <jahnkeanater> ok

[04:32] <name_name> and apply
[04:32] <dlozarie> name_name, Okay thanks! :D

[04:34] <jahnkeanater> thx
[04:34] <dlozarie> name_name, it's apparently uninstalled.
[04:34] <name_name> -__- heh
[04:34] <dlozarie> name_name, since when I click on it I can choose the "mark for installation" option, but not the uninstallation one.
[04:34] <d4rkmonkey> I seem to have some weird video problems. When streaming pretty much anything thats not flash from the internet, it becomes mostly red/green and the colours are all off. Also, I just tried to watch a DVD and the same thing happened but than totem froze. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I'm running Hardy and my graphics card is an Intel 965GM
[04:34] <webjames> name_name, try "mv ~/.compiz ~/compiz_backup" then restart compiz and see if you have the move window drop down
[04:35] <twobitsprite> hello
[04:35] <name_name> dlozarie: what color was it
[04:35] <twobitsprite> I just installed kubuntu-kde4 on my laptop, and the display is acting strange...
[04:35] <name_name> dlozarie:  you want to mark it for complete uninstall
[04:35] <webjames> twobitsprite, how so?
[04:35] <name_name> dlozarie: then click apply
[04:35] <dlozarie> name_name, complete removal?
[04:35] <name_name> yes
[04:35] <dlozarie> name_name, kthx.
[04:35] <twobitsprite> specifically, the kde4 utility for managing my display doesn't let me apply my changes...
[04:35] <Nostahl> hi all my buntu isnt booting up its like stuck at the loading screen
[04:36] <caleb> The file .dmrc file in my home folder doesn't seem to exist, and it is complaining about it every time I log in. What should I do?
[04:36] <w1k1nG> Alguem consegue descodificar essa senha pra mim ?
[04:36] <w1k1nG>  my $PASS        = 'p9k2xrsw8FKUY';        # senha encriptada
[04:36] <name_name> webjames: hmm.. when I have compiz on classic mode it has the send to workspace option
[04:36] <twobitsprite> I have an external monitor attached and the display is showing identically on both it and my built-in screen... I used the KDE4 tool to try to turn off the built-in screen, but I can't click the apply button
[04:36] <w1k1nG> Senha: p9k2xrsw8FKUY
[04:36] <name_name> but for the cube it dissapears
[04:36] <webjames> Nostahl, try pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 to bring up a terminal then type dmesg to see what the hold up is
[04:37] <name_name> dlozarie: is your gimp gone now?
[04:38] <webjames> twobitsprite, this sort of problem is not a simple one usually, i think it might be best to search/post on the forums
[04:38] <dlozarie> name_name, still removing. :)
[04:38] <Nostahl> loading hardware drivers     fail it says
[04:38] <dlozarie> name_name, okay it's gone. what's next please? :D
[04:38] <Herissy> wow downloading a 3 gig file at 2.9kb per second is going to take forever.
[04:38] <twobitsprite> webjames: yeah, I figured :( ... I was just hoping someone would have an idea or recently encounterred it
[04:38] <HealthyElijah> has anyone here used synergy in ubuntu
[04:39] <dlozarie> Herissy, whoa what monster of a 3GiB file would you care to download?
[04:39] <Nostahl> ata2.00: status { DRDY }
[04:39] <name_name> dlozarie: your so cute ^__^ well it's "apt-get install gimp" in the term

[04:39] <HealthyElijah> how do i find my computer name in ubuntu
[04:39] <dlozarie> name_name, lol.. :))
[04:39] <name_name> in the package manager
[04:39] <Nostahl> exeption Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen
[04:39] <webjames> twobitsprite, you could try an ubuntu live cd and see if you fair better with ubuntu?
[04:39] <Nostahl> whats that mean
[04:39] <Herissy> don't ask, last time I said anything I got into trouble not many people like this game.
[04:39] <name_name> dlozarie: you may need to "sudo apt-get install gimp"
[04:40] <dlozarie> name_name, okay, thanks.
[04:40] <twobitsprite> webjames: well... tbh, I installed ubuntu to try out KDE4 because Debian isn't up to speed yet on it...
[04:40] <webjames> name_name, i think desktop wall is better anyhow
[04:41] <HealthyElijah> how do i find my computer name?
[04:41] <name_name> HealthyElijah: open the terminal
[04:41] <name_name> then look for the line ___@computername$
[04:41] <Herissy> I installed kubuntu first; then installed ubuntu over it; then installed kde4 over that as an available session ... guess how messy my system is
[04:41] <HealthyElijah> name_name: haha thanks
[04:42] <name_name> webjames: I like the spinning
[04:42] <isaacj87> hi all, I have numerous questions...first I don't understand the firefox situation in Ubuntu. Last update I got to firefox was RC2, but I saw an RC3 released on mozilla.org and then finally the "final" release...Was RC2 the final release?
[04:42] <webjames> Herissy, erm... messy?
[04:42] <Herissy> but everything works so I don't complain.
[04:42] <name_name> webjames: do you know where the window bar config files are?
[04:42] <webjames> isaacj87, it is firefox 3 now final release
[04:43] <Flannel> isaacj87: Firefox 3 final is now in the repos at any rate.  I believe it was RC3, but I didn't follow it very closely.
[04:43] <Ryouga_Hibiki> how much of a partition size should I make for ubuntu?
[04:43] <Herissy> webjames messy as in lots of excess stuff I probably don't need remain on my system.
[04:43] <webjames> name_name, ~/.metacity?
[04:43] <name_name> webjames: I'll look there, thanks
[04:43] <webjames> Ryouga_Hibiki, minimum is around 3gb i would say
[04:43] <Flannel> Herissy: It should be possible to revert to whatever as far as packages are concerned.
[04:44] <isaacj87> okay, thanks webjames and Flannel
[04:44] <bl4ckj4ck> excuse me all, can anyone tell me, what license is the Ubuntu logo / artwork distributed under?
[04:44] <Ryouga_Hibiki> whats a recomended size?
[04:44] <webjames> name_name, it could be ~/.emerald if you use that
[04:44] <twobitsprite> bl4ckj4ck: the font is LGPL, and think the logo is too, but I'm not sure about the logo
[04:44] <Flannel> bl4ckj4ck: http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy
[04:45] <webjames> bl4ckj4ck, or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Official
[04:45] <dolphin_noel> what makes the compiz sesssion management?!
[04:45] <iota> Because ubuntu treats my IDE hd as a SCSI drive ( it is the primary drive on the first IDE channel and shows up as /dev/sda)m I can not use my existing windows partition as a guest in vmware. I either need to make my harddrive show up as /dev/hda so vmware can use it as an IDE device. Or figure out how to make vmware use the IDE drive that is treated as a SCSI drive, as an IDE drive. :-/  Or I suppose I could leave everything alone, and make
[04:45] <iota>  windows run inside vmware using its SCSI driver. However when I do that, vmware keeps giving messages that say, there was an IO error reading the disk.
[04:45] <bl4ckj4ck> webjames: twobitsprite: Flannel: Thank you all
[04:45] <name_name> how do I open a root gui brower window
[04:45] <name_name> you guys said it earlier
[04:45] <msingh`> i've just apt-get source linux-image-2.6.24-19-rt -- but there is no .config under the tree -- why not?
[04:46] <webjames> name_name, alt+f2 gksudo nautilus
[04:46] <name_name> k
[04:46] <Flannel> name_name: `gksu nautilus`.  Be *very* careful with it, and close it as soon as you're done.
[04:46] <Herissy> alright so how would I go about completely removing xfce and kde from my system.
[04:47] <Ryouga_Hibiki> Does anyone know how to set up the partions for a dual boot between ubuntu and windows XP?
[04:47] <Herissy> Ive tried several things and none of them seem to do a good job.
[04:47] <Jack_Sparrow> !puregnome
[04:47] <Oddish> Herissy: In the terminal: sudo apt-get purge ked xfce
[04:47] <Flannel> Herissy: I'm not sure about kde4, but... yeah, the puregnome page
[04:47] <webjames> anyway, bye
[04:48] <Herissy> cause thats what I really want
[04:48] <name_name> Ryouga_Hibiki: don't
[04:48] <Ryouga_Hibiki> Don't?
[04:48] <Flannel> !dualboot | Ryouga_Hibiki
[04:49] <name_name> Ryouga_Hibiki: if you didn't install xp first on w/e machine it will write over the boot sector which is a pain to fix
[04:49] <iota> Ryouga_Hibiki: usually I would simply install windows first, and specify the partition size for windows leaving space free for linux. Then reboot and install linux, telling it to make the / partition right after the windows partition. And then setup a swap partition/ and perhaps even a /home
[04:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Ryouga_Hibiki Dual boot is easy to do.. if windows is installed it is almost automatic
[04:49] <Ryouga_Hibiki> Xp is already installed I'm using it now
[04:49] <name_name> Ryouga_Hibiki: if you didn't install windows first it's a pain
[04:49] <name_name> Ryouga_Hibiki: you're fine then
[04:49] <name_name> sorry for scarying you
[04:50] <oneman>  but your right
[04:50] <Ryouga_Hibiki> so I make a partition for ubuntu and a swap...how big should they both be?
[04:50] <name_name> Ryouga_Hibiki: **yawns** how big you want
[04:50] <torias> Hello, I tried to go into the advanced desktop settings by typing sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager, and it pulled up sudo password for torias:, i couldnt enter anything and didnt even set up a sudo password, can someone please help me be able to configure the advanced desktop settings
[04:50] <iota> Ryouga_Hibiki: the ubuntu install will ake that part very easy for you
[04:51] <torias> i typed this in the terminal
[04:51] <thejaja> torias use the user pass
[04:51] <torias> it wont let me type it
[04:51] <Flannel> torias: you did set up a sudo password when you created your user.
[04:51] <torias> no
[04:51] <cwraig> what do the load statics mean (for processors i think) they are values like 0.78
[04:51] <HealthyElijah> how do i change the background picture when i use the cube
[04:51] <Flannel> torias: Your "sudo" password is your user password
[04:51] <thejaja> then type su and the enter and then the pass
[04:52] <Flannel> thejaja: That won't work
[04:52] <Dasmoover> asmp[b] vmware runs its own graphic card
[04:52] <thejaja> try su passwd root
[04:52] <Flannel> !root | thejaja
[04:52] <thejaja> sudo passwd root
[04:52] <Ryouga_Hibiki> hmm
[04:52] <Flannel> er, sorry
[04:52] <Jack_Sparrow> thejaja Not a good idea
[04:52] <Flannel> !noroot | thejaja
[04:52] <name_name> what's the diff. between "su" and "sudo -s"
[04:52] <name_name> ?
[04:52] <thejaja> to change the root pass? why ?
[04:52] <Dasmoover>  can anyone help me out with my xsession? http://pastebin.org/45471
[04:53] <Flannel> thejaja: Because Ubuntu doesn't use the root account
[04:53] <Ryouga_Hibiki> ah I'm not really sure how big I want it to be
[04:53] <Jack_Sparrow> !noroot
[04:53] <Flannel> name_name: The former requires you to have the root account unlocked.  The latter is preferred (also sudo -i)
[04:53] <thejaja> then sudo and pass of user will work just fine
[04:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Ryouga_Hibiki at least 10 gig for root  ?   and I recommend seperate /home  20 gig if you have it available
[04:54] <StephenZ> While we're on the subject, I seem to be unable to do anything with sudo.
[04:54] <StephenZ> Despite the fact that I am the -only- user.
[04:54] <name_name> same here
[04:54] <Flannel> !doesntwork
[04:54] <StephenZ> Not sure how I could be anything other than root - though I admit my utter ignorance.
[04:54] <Varak_> try sudo bash
[04:54] <name_name> sudo chown is useless
[04:54] <Flannel> StephenZ: what errors does it give?  yadda yadda
[04:54] <StephenZ> That's fair. I get the response of "must be setuid root".
[04:54] <Ryouga_Hibiki> All right I'll give this a shot.
[04:55] <StephenZ> With anything starting with sudo.
[04:55] <Varak_> if you sudo bash you will be root
[04:55] <StephenZ> I type "sudo bash" and I get "must be setuid root"
[04:55] <Varak_> heh
[04:55] <Varak_> oh
[04:55] <Varak_> open a terminal
[04:55] <Varak_> and type it there
[04:55] <Varak_> good luck
[04:55] <Dasmoover>  can anyone help me out with my xsession? I can't log into ubuntu with it here is my error list http://pastebin.org/45471
[04:55] <Flannel> Varak_: If sudo doesn't work, "sudo bash" won't work.
[04:55] <torias> Now it is saying it cannot get the executable file
[04:55] <Varak_> i feel like i've just given a kid a gun
[04:55] <StephenZ> Um. Is there some fancy way I'm supposed to open the terminal other than through Accessories?
[04:56] <name_name> Varak_: LOL!
[04:56] <Flannel> StephenZ: ls -al /usr/bin | grep sudo, what are the permissions
[04:56] <Herissy> ok xfce is gone but kde4 isn't and there isn't any way to get rid of it on there
[04:56] <Herissy> :(
[04:56] <name_name>  StephenZ: Alt+F2 --> xterm
[04:56] <Herissy> any other ideas?
[04:56] <Varak_> Flanel if he's root in a terminal the chown will work
[04:56] <Flannel> Herissy: there is, yes.  You might try #kubuntu, they'll be more likely to know
[04:56] <torias> Can anyone tell me how I can get into the advanced desktop settings?
[04:56] <StephenZ> Flannel: Um, it's several lines.
[04:56] <Jack_Sparrow> Herissy Did you read the puregmone factoid
[04:57] <Jack_Sparrow> !ccsm > torias
[04:57] <StephenZ> My username is in a pair of columns, there's a column of numbers, the date/time, then...
[04:57] <Flannel> StephenZ: Just the one with "sudo" on the end (er, 'just' sudo, not sudoedit -> sudo or anythign like that)
[04:57] <name_name> Varak_: I tried setting the permissions (I'm the user/owner of the box) with the root gui and it would save the values
[04:57] <Herissy> no
[04:57] <Flannel> name_name: What did you change?
[04:57] <Lenaud01> my sound does not seem as loud as it was in windows as it is on ubuntu is there a cause for that?
[04:57] <Jack_Sparrow> !puregnome > Herissy
[04:57] <Flannel> Jack_Sparrow: That doesn't include KDE4
[04:58] <name_name>  Flannel: nothing... I don't think
[04:58] <StephenZ> "---s--x--x  2 stephen stephen<PHONE_NUMBER>-05-14 20:41 sudo"
[04:58] <StephenZ> It's the second line of output.
[04:58] <Flannel> StephenZ: Well.... that'd do it.  When were you playing around with chown/chmod?
[04:58] <dlozarie> name_name, okay GIMp's back on. thanks a bunch!
[04:58] <Rayvis> I have an Ubuntu DVD burning question. I want to take a .avi file and burn it to a dvd that can be played in my home dvd player. What program should I use to do that?
[04:58] <StephenZ> I've been fiddling around without a clue what I've been doing, trying to mount an old secondary drive of mine.
[04:59] <Herissy> Jack_Sparrow, ok but that site mentions all these packages that aren't in kde4 just so you know.
[04:59] <Flannel> StephenZ: alright, well, you broke it ;)  No telling what else you broke.  ls -al /usr/bin | less, are a lot of thigns owned by you there?
[04:59] <name_name> dlozarie: ^__^ ah
[04:59] <StephenZ> I've been running Windows XP up until about 48 hours ago, and I've been able to pass along a pair of secondary drives (containing the majority of my files) from system to system... So, yeah, it's likely I've broken something.

[04:59] <iota> I have searched for a fix to my problem for well over 2 months now. If anyone has a slight clue or even a guess. Please tell me. Ubuntu treats my IDE drive as a SCSI drive. I have one 80Gig IDE drive and one 320Gig SATA drive. they show up as /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. Because of this, VMWare can not treat my first drive as an IDE device. It will only allow me to use it as a SCSI disk. This makes using my physical windows install impossible unde

[04:59] <torias> thanks a lot for the help
[04:59] <Flannel> name_name: What error does sudo give you when you try it?
[05:00] <dlozarie> name_name, lol. thanks again! see ya guys later! :D
[05:00] <StephenZ> Flannel: Owned by me? Well, everything has my username in two columns.
[05:00] <HealthyElijah> anybody here ever heard of envy
[05:00] <torias> Also want to know if there is a possibility to play .avi and .mkv files with Ubuntu
[05:00] <Flannel> StephenZ: right, those two columns are owner and group
[05:00] <torias> if so whats the best program
[05:00] <Flannel> StephenZ: So, all of those files have you as the owner, and the group/
[05:00] <HealthyElijah> envy sure is nice for installing nvidia drivers! So easy a caveman could do it!!!
[05:01] <StephenZ> Apparently.

[05:01] <Jack_Sparrow> HealthyElijah If you got envy off the web you could have comprimised your system
[05:01] <Flannel> name_name: Does sudo work otherwise?
[05:01] <name_name> sda4 is a hdd partition I have
[05:01] <Jack_Sparrow> !envy
[05:01] <Flannel> StephenZ: Needless to say, they shouldn't.  And, while we could fix these, you've probably done plenty of other damage too.
[05:01] <name_name> yeah fine
[05:01] <Flannel> name_name: Its not a sudo issue
[05:01] <StephenZ> Flannel: I don't doubt it. Would reinstalling Ubuntu do anything good for me?
[05:02] <name_name> Flannel: ok.. um any idea what it is
[05:02] <Flannel> StephenZ: they should be owned by root:root (that is, user:group) or at least, most of them should.
[05:02] <StephenZ> Wipe this drive, reinstall...
[05:02] <Makro1> any expert on macros for oo impress?
[05:02] <twobitsprite> why does installing firefox want to install all kinds of other stuff, like dialog and gksu?
[05:02] <Flannel> StephenZ: Yeah, reinstalling will fix it all.
[05:02] <name_name> StephenZ: don't give up!!!
[05:02] <StephenZ> *Crestfallen.* Right.
[05:02] <Flannel> StephenZ: and don't worry, we all reinstalled a number of times at the beginning.  I think I did seven or eight times.
[05:02] <Flannel> StephenZ: If you have a separate home partition, you don't need to lose your personal data
[05:02] <Don_Miguel> me too
[05:02] <StephenZ> *Chuckles.* I'm sure... It's kinda new, knowing nothing at all about what I'm doing.
[05:02] <name_name> StephenZ: wut?? idk where you're from

[05:03] <StephenZ> Name_name: ??
[05:03] <Flannel> Blah, thats a horrible factoid
[05:03] <name_name> yes?
[05:03] <StephenZ> I don't get it.
[05:03] <Flannel> StephenZ: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions
[05:03] <name_name> you don't need to do I reinstall, that's giving up
[05:03] <name_name> fix w/e on your own
[05:03] <name_name> there is much to learn young one
[05:03] <StephenZ> Oh. I'm thinking I'm not smart/experienced enough at the moment to fix this as is.
[05:04] <StephenZ> So a reinstall sounds like a good idea.
[05:04] <usertwo> any tips on a good video card for ubuntu? I am looking at an 8800GT.
[05:04] <name_name> StephenZ: don't give me that
[05:04] <Oddish> Constatly breaking and repairing your system is how you learn to get around in Linux.
[05:04] <Flannel> name_name: He's hosed his permissions on /usr/bin, and no telling what else.  Unless *you* want to ennumerate permissions on each file on his system, reinstall is the best method
[05:04] <name_name> oh shi---
[05:04] <name_name> StephenZ: reinstall!
[05:04] <StephenZ> At least it's fairly unlikely that I've hosed my other two drives.
[05:04] <twobitsprite> in fact... I'm running kubuntu, but firefox wants all kinds of gnome stuff... what's up with that?
[05:04] <StephenZ> They're not mounted, despite my best efforts. xD
[05:05] <Oddish> ...Okay, yeah, in that case just reinstall.  >_>
[05:05] <Rayvis> What program should I use to burn an avi file to a dvd? I couldn't get nero linux to work.
[05:05] <Flannel> StephenZ: that's correct.  And, when you reinstall, let us help with the mounting ;)
[05:05] <iota> is it only /usr/bin ?
[05:05] <StephenZ> I'll do exactly that. *Looks over at the broken disk on his desk.* After burning another CD.
[05:06] <purpleposeidon> !git
[05:06] <Flannel> StephenZ: No breaking disks either.  LiveCDs come in handy in many situations
[05:06] <StephenZ> Here goes another two hours of downloading...
[05:06] <Oddish> StephenZ: First week on Linux?
[05:06] <StephenZ> That part was an accident.
[05:06] <StephenZ> Yeah, first 36 hours.
[05:06] <Oddish> It gets easier as you learn more.
[05:07] <Oddish> Just keep that in mind.
[05:07]  * Oddish gave up for 3 years after her first night with Linux.
[05:07] <StephenZ> I've little doubt of that... It looks like a powerful, flexible OS... But that flexibility can strain all sorts of muscles and ligaments, if you follow the analogy.
[05:07] <Flannel> StephenZ: but once you limber up, you'll do fine.
[05:07] <StephenZ> By the by, Oddish: one of my favorite little pocket monsters. I still adore the original games.

[05:24] <name_name_> Flannel: in my nice root browser window it shows the owner for the mountpoint sda4 to be namire (me) but as soon as I mount to there it goes to root
[05:24] <StephenZ> Wee, 8%.
[05:24] <name_name_> Ryouga_Hibiki: you have tight windows
[05:25] <Ryouga_Hibiki> tight windows?
[05:25] <StephenZ> Sounds suggestive.
[05:25] <name_name_> don't make your windows too small or you wouldn't have space to put stuff in it
[05:25] <name_name_> savvy?
[05:25] <StephenZ> *Giggles madly.*
[05:26] <name_name_> if your current windows in like 15 gb, make it 20gb or 25gb to have space for any packages you put in there
[05:26] <unavailable> so anyone know of a voice solution for yahoo?
[05:26] <name_name_> eh eh eh
[05:26] <Ryouga_Hibiki> well right now I'm just on windows and I have like 48 gigs free.
[05:27] <Ryouga_Hibiki> so when I tried to install ubuntu did it automatical suggest a partition resize?
[05:28] <name_name_> Ryouga_Hibik: yup
[05:28] <Overand> I've got a directory full of png files - I want to encode a video out of them - suggestions?
[05:28] <Ryouga_Hibiki> so if i went ahead and installed it...it would be like setting my pc up to dual boot?
[05:29] <bazhang> Ryouga_Hibiki, yes that is correct.
[05:29] <StephenZ> Overland: Hey, something I know! Well, you could piece them together, frame by frame.
[05:29] <PorkSoda> So, any one know off hand how to convert .bin to .avi with ffmpeg preferably?
[05:29] <PorkSoda> :]
[05:29] <name_name_> Ryouga_Hibiki: yup, grub will do that
[05:29] <Ryouga_Hibiki> wow I didn't think the install would do that on its own..thats kinda neat...so after I get it installed how do I switch between both OS's?
[05:29] <StephenZ> Any one of a number of video-editing programs could do that.
[05:30] <M_G> hai...............
[05:30] <name_name_> Ryouga_Hibiki: it will ask you about it later
[05:30] <name_name_> M_G: ano...
[05:30] <Ryouga_Hibiki> ok thanks ^^
[05:30] <bazhang> Ryouga_Hibiki, ubuntu should append windows to your grub list and you can choose at startup
[05:31] <odla> what is the gnome clock applet called?
[05:31] <Overand> StephenZ: Yes - 'any of a number of video eding programs' - but i've never done video editing in *nix - usually I'd use VirtualDub in win32, but NO WAY
[05:31] <air139> I asked a question earlier and no one helped me :*(
[05:32] <StephenZ> Overand: Well, I've love to tell you something specific, but my experience with *nix is about thirty-six hours.
[05:32] <StephenZ> Doesn't Ubuntu come bundled with a video editor?
[05:32] <name_name_> no
[05:32] <Flannel> Not installed by default, but theres a number in the repositories.
[05:32] <air139> StephenZ: Ubuntu Studio does
[05:32] <name_name_> Flannel: I got the permissions worked out
[05:32] <name_name_> thanks for the help
[05:32] <Oddish> air139: What was the question?
[05:32] <Flannel> cinerella is advanced, Kino is simpler
[05:34] <air139> Oddish: The about me item results in a error message
[05:34] <wols_> cinelerra
[05:34] <wols_> cinerella would a weird grimm's talkes rippoff
[05:34] <Oddish> Uuuh... I got nothin'.  Sorry.  :(
[05:34] <air139> There was an error while trying to get the addressbook information Evolution Data Server can't handle the protocol
[05:34] <Jburrke> Anyone have any idea on how to get the logitech wave keyboard / mouse combo working on ubuntu? It works okay, but there are a lot of problems..
[05:35] <air139> anyone
[05:35] <air139> ?
[05:35] <Guest62861> the previous version of ubuntu automatically got access to my windows network, how do i do this in 8.0$?
[05:35] <Guest62861> 8.04 too
[05:35] <Oddish> air139: Move your ~/.evolution stuff to ~/.evolution.backup and try again.  See if that works.  If it does, it might just be corrupt data.
[05:35] <Lenaud01> my sound does not seem as loud as it was in windows as it is on ubuntu is there a cause for that?
[05:35] <air139> Oddish: walk me through this?
[05:36] <ganymede> Lenaud01: use alsamixer or gnome-mixer to bring up the mixer levels
[05:36] <ganymede> Guest62431: you probably want to install samba or something
[05:36] <Oddish> air139: Open a terminal and type ls -a
[05:36] <Oddish> Look for .evolution/ or something similar.
[05:36] <ganymede> air139: mv .evolution .evolition.backup && evolution
[05:37] <Oddish> ...
[05:37] <Lenaud01> I have volume at 100% on volume control in gnome ganymede
[05:37] <Oddish> Windows is seriously a huge pain in the pitoot.
[05:37] <Lenaud01> and its not as loud as when i had it at 100% in windows about half if that
[05:37] <Lenaud01> just curious what would cause that
[05:37] <ganymede> Lenaud01: are there any controls for a 20 dB speaker boost or anything further right along the mixer?
[05:38] <name_name_> Guest62431: samba is usaully pre-instaled
[05:38] <Lenaud01> ahh there we go :)
[05:38] <ganymede> Lenaud01: also might want to try alsamixer. alsamixer exposes more controls. even if master is at 100%, PCM or something else might not be full
[05:38] <Lenaud01> thanks ganymede
[05:38] <Lenaud01> apt-get alsamixer had no results
[05:38] <name_name_> how do I auto-mount drives at startup
[05:39] <Flannel> name_name_: put them in your fstab
[05:39] <Lenaud01> I had alsa mixer selected in sound controls ganymede I think thats what you ment ;)
[05:40] <name_name_> Flannel: ok.. see a whiles back I tried to get my sys to auto-mount sda4 so I think that where the problem is
[05:40] <name_name_> It's still a problem, I thought it was gone but I was in the root windows
[05:40] <name_name_> lol
[05:40] <Lenaud01> thanks ganymede for your help
[05:40] <Flannel> name_name_: fstab should clear a lot of that up, actually
[05:40] <adityag> i have 2 HDDs, 1st HDD (primary) has 2 OS (LINUX, WINDOWS) other HDD(secondary) has ubuntu 8.04, now i have connected both the HDDs but only i get options to load the OSes in the 1st, i also want to boot 8.04 when i connect both the HDDs, any help on this will be appreciated!!!!!
[05:40] <name_name_> Flannel: ok.. um where was it?
[05:40] <Flannel> name_name_: /etc/fstab
[05:41] <name_name_> ^_^
[05:42] <adityag> funkyHat::: you there ?
[05:42] <net> Hai i am using ubuntu hardy....
[05:42] <net> My Terminal is in white background and black foreground .....
[05:42] <net> But suddenly it changes to black background and white foreground....i m not liking this color combination...I want white background and black foreground ....
[05:42] <Dasmoover> ok I really need help, I can't get my xsession to boot anything, please someone help I've been here for hours
[05:43] <name_name_> Flannel: I have it now
[05:43] <adityag> i have 2 HDDs, 1st HDD (primary) has 2 OS (LINUX, WINDOWS) other HDD(secondary) has ubuntu 8.04, now i have connected both the HDDs but only i get options to load the OSes in the 1st, i also want to boot 8.04 when i connect both the HDDs, any help on this will be appreciated!!!!!
[05:44] <Dasmoover> adityag: this is a bios related problem
[05:44] <n-iCe> how can I install this menu bar? http://www.silverwingsonline.com/ubuntu1.jpg
[05:44] <twobitsprite> is there a gui for specifying what my hardware is for display?
[05:44] <Overand> adityag: the ubuntu 'boot loader' installs to the 'master boot record' of the first-boot-drive usually
[05:44] <Flannel> !paste | name_name_
[05:44] <adityag> Dasmoover: i guess this will be solved by adding a new entry to GRUB loader  in menu.lst
[05:45] <Dasmoover> yes, or hit esc when your bios loads and select which hdd to boot
[05:46] <Dasmoover> can anyone help, I can't get ANY gui to load
[05:47] <n-iCe> how can I install this menu bar? http://www.silverwingsonline.com/ubuntu1.jpg
[05:48] <solus> how do i keep from joining this server and channel when i start xchat?
[05:48] <solus> it joins automatically
[05:49] <SitUbuntuSit> Does anyone know how to change libnotify message colors?
[05:49] <daurnimator> hey al
[05:49] <daurnimator> I broked my sudoers file
[05:49] <daurnimator> anything I can do that doesn't involve restarting?
[05:50] <Ce_Stress> hiiiiiii......................
[05:50]  * daurnimator now thinks its a terrible idea to not have a root password
[05:50] <nickrud> daurnimator unless you went against ubuntu security policy and enabled root, no.
[05:50] <air139> Oddish: Nothing that is .evolution
[05:50] <wers> is there a way for me to use garena on Ubuntu? maybe wine, virtualization or something?
[05:50] <Flannel> daurnimator: Did you use visudo?
[05:50] <nickrud> daurnimator did you use visdo to edit?
[05:50] <daurnimator> nickrud: seems like the stupidest policy I've ever heard >.<
[05:50] <daurnimator> no?
[05:50] <Flannel> daurnimator: Well, that's your problem.
[05:50] <nickrud> daurnimator it checks for silly errors
[05:50] <daurnimator> what is visudo?
[05:50] <daurnimator> ok.....
[05:50] <Flannel> daurnimator: visudo makes sure you don't break sudoers
[05:51] <daurnimator> I didn't use it cause I don't like vi >.<
[05:51] <Flannel> daurnimator: You can use any editor
[05:51] <n-iCe> Anyone knows what's this http://www.silverwingsonline.com/ubuntu1.jpg menu bar name?
[05:51] <nickrud> daurnimator it uses nano by default in ubuntu
[05:51] <Six_> g
[05:51] <daurnimator> what a confusing name
[05:51] <daurnimator> and..... how was I meant to know this
[05:52] <nickrud> daurnimator no reason that you should have, really
[05:52] <Flannel> daurnimator: Because the sudoers file says it at the top
[05:52] <air139> ganymede: no item found called .evolution
[05:52] <daurnimator> easiest way to fix it?
[05:52] <nickrud> daurnimator reboot into recovery mode, run visudo
[05:52] <Flannel> daurnimator: reboot, recovery console, fix
[05:52] <daurnimator> recovery console?
[05:52] <Flannel> daurnimator: At GRUB, choose 'recovery console'
[05:53] <daurnimator> hmmm
[05:53] <daurnimator> ok
[05:53] <ganymede> air139: oh, i don't know, i was just giving the step-by-step instructions to Oddish's directions that you asked for
[05:53] <nickrud> daurnimator hit escape if you don't see a menu, while it says grub loading
[05:53] <daurnimator> and, at the recovery console
[05:53] <daurnimator> what do I do
[05:53] <nickrud> daurnimator you're root there
[05:53] <Flannel> daurnimator: You edit sudoers, and put it back
[05:54] <air139> ganymede: "There was an error while trying to get the addressbook information Evolution Data Server can't handle the protocol"
[05:54]  * daurnimator curses the lack of security exploits
[05:55] <daurnimator> why don't we set a root password? would be much easier to fix if I had one
[05:55] <Flannel> daurnimator: Its much easier to just not break it in the first place.  Again, there was a warning at the top of your sudoers file
[05:55] <daurnimator> since when does anyone read warnings
[05:56]  * nickrud thinks daurnimator is so right, sadly
[05:57]  * daurnimator waves goodbye to uptime
[05:57] <SitUbuntuSit> I read a warning once... got hit in the head by a baseball while doing it.
[05:58] <nickrud> SitUbuntuSit probably a good thing you read that poison warning anyway :)
[05:58] <Flannel> daurnimator: Lots of uptime just means you haven't applied recent kernel patches
[05:58] <air139> can anyone tell me how to fix this? "There was an error while trying to get the addressbook information Evolution Data Server can't handle the protocol"
[05:58] <SitUbuntuSit> nickrud, LOL, right about that ;)
[05:58] <bdrydyk> Hi, could someone tell me how to use apt to find out what files a package installed?
[05:58] <Jburrke> Can anyone tell me why my music is so screwed up all of a sudden? When I try to open a file in amarok or rhythmbox it just keeps skipping to the next one, and rhythmbox shows a little red circle with a minus in it.. Wtf is going on D:
[05:58] <nickrud> air139 you might want to take that to an evolution channel on irc.gnome.org
[05:59] <n-iCe> jbroome codecs problems, I guess, restart amarako
[05:59] <Flannel> bdrydyk: dpkg -L package
[05:59] <kcormier1> howdy all.  I was messing with 8.04 and clicked autoformat by accident and lost all my old partitions.  I didn't let the install continue.  I had a data partition at the end of the drive (xfs).  Is there any chance of recovering it?
[05:59] <co-PiloT> .
[05:59] <n-iCe> amarok, install codecs, and try again
[05:59] <bdrydyk> thanks Flannel, I didn know where to look.
[05:59] <nickrud> air139 not to run you off, but that sounds like a bug someone there could be interested in
[05:59] <Flannel> bdrydyk: and the other way (file ot package) is dpkg -S /path/to/file
[05:59] <bdrydyk> great, thanks a lot.
[06:00] <Jburrke> Everyone, I've played all this music on here hundreds of times before.. I just came back to my pc after a couple of days today and I'm getting all these errors
[06:00] <bdrydyk> Jburrke, is it possible that your music is on a drive which isn mounted?
[06:00] <amstella> what kind of errors
[06:00] <yell0w> kcormier1: did it get formatted ?
[06:00] <Inazad> hi there, which is the best company for power supplies ?
[06:00] <Jburrke> When I try to open a single file it opens in Totem player and it says "An error occurred. Failed to connect to stream: Invalid argument"
[06:00] <air139> never mind folks, I figured it out, my disc came with an incomplete gnome
[06:01] <kcormier1> amstella: yes it did, with ext3 (old partitions were xfs)
[06:01] <Jburrke> bdrydyk: Dont think that's possible, I mean the music is saved on my main drive
[06:01] <bdrydyk> I see.
[06:02] <bdrydyk> Jburrke, Ie dealt with a similar problem before which was related to asla. Just wondering, have you tried restarting?
[06:02] <bullgard4> Inazad: There are so many different types of power supplies. For each one there is another the best. First you will need to define what power supply type you mean. Secondly define what is 'best'?
[06:02] <Jburrke> bdrydyk: Stupidly, no =S
[06:02] <Jburrke> bdrydk, gimme a sec :P
[06:02] <bdrydyk> Jburrke, good luck :)
[06:03] <Jburrke> Thanks :P
[06:03] <kcormier1> yell0w: sorry, it did get formatted with ext3 (old partitions were xfs)
[06:03] <kcormier1> yell0w: I listed it for the wrong person before...sorry
[06:03] <fooks> is there a terminal command for closing your cd tray?
[06:04] <fooks> i know open is eject /dev/blah
[06:05] <kmicinski> hi all, I've just installed ubuntu on my ThinkPad T60 laptop and cannot seem to get the network card to configure
[06:06] <QUILz> fooks: eject -t /dev/cdrom
[06:06] <kmicinski> from what I've read it has worked out of the box, but I'm using the beta version of ubuntu
[06:06] <kcormier1> Can anyone help me recover an xfs partition?  I formatted my drive with the auto format option by accident and lost all my data (formatted the entire drive with ext3, xfs partition was at the end of the drive so it may still be there?)
[06:06] <kmicinski> and my network activity is nil, the light never blinks at all
[06:07] <nickrud> kmicinski what do you mean, beta version?
[06:07] <dtrixed> could somone link me a doc for installing the plugins for firefox .. cant seem to find them
[06:07] <yell0w> kcormier1: that's alright, i'm sure you can recover most of it since  tdoggette<EMAIL_ADDRESS>has joined #ubuntu
[06:07] <yell0w> 2008-0623_00:06 -!- wsfulton<EMAIL_ADDRESS>has quit [Read error: 113 (No route to host)]

[06:10] <dtrixed> havnt used it in a while
[06:10] <yell0w> kcormier1: i know you can do it if formatting is all you've done, after it just redo the tables and not touch your data, it's gonna be painful though
[06:10] <nickrud> kmicinski that's the released version, not beta anymore
[06:10] <Hermes> ok
[06:10] <dtrixed> but i didnt have any trouble
[06:10] <Hermes> ridiculous

[06:11] <Jburrke> Anyone know why my music seems all.. corrupted? It's just going to next song after next after next.. Keeps skipping because the current is fked, until the program crashes
[06:11] <kmicinski> nikosapi: in any case, I'm going to try to manually find the driver since this does not seem to be a common problem
[06:11] <ALPSINC> i've been trying to do: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH << but with no success, i'm getting an error on my VNC Viewer, "The connection closed unexpecitly"
[06:12] <dtrixed> so anyone have a site for installing the plugins for firefox or know of a package i could look for, for it?

[06:12] <|Porsche> Does anyone know why my computer says "Public file sharing enabled" everytime i log in?
[06:12] <kcormier1> Jburrke: Have you tried em on another pc?  See if it's the songs or your computer?

[06:15] <happosade> what mean "OEM-install"?
[06:15] <kcormier1> Jburrke: Try copying the files from linux to your windows drive (linux can see ntfs) rather than getting to your linux drive from windows...then you can test em out
[06:15] <Lokii-> !oem | happosade
[06:15] <ALPSINC> Lokii-: i've been folowing the ssh over vnc tut listed, with 0 success
[06:15] <Flannel> happosade: You don't set up a first user during the install, so you (as a mfc) can edit the system how you want, and then let your customer do it
[06:15] <unavailable> happosade oem install means "original equipment manufacturer"  its for places like asus and such
[06:16] <josh_> what does the video playback plugin do in compiz-fusion???????????
[06:16] <yell0w> kcormier1: maybe this shed a bit of light on your problem http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html
[06:16] <Jburrke> kcormier1, I could do that.. Do you have any idea how I can access my external drive through windows though? I'd like to be able to access the two, I mean I can get to my internal through linux but I cant get to my external through windows

[06:19] <Jburrke> Yep, I get some error when I dont have the drive plugged in.. When it's in I get a grub menu that allows me to pick between ubuntu and windows, though..
[06:19] <mynetdude> ALPSINC ok so what VNC server are you using and what are you using as the viewer? (not that these matter) and are they cross platform?
[06:20] <unavailable> fooks hmm nope
[06:20] <unavailable> fooks you sure your ejecting the right dev?
[06:20] <nickrud> Jburrke download the supergrub disk, it has a utility to make your primary boot again to windows. Then you should be able to boot ubuntu with the external plugged in, and windows without it plugged in
[06:20] <mynetdude> ALPSINC, oh you're trying to go over SSH, that I don't know how to do
[06:20] <ALPSINC> mynetdude: xtightvnc and VNC Viewer for windows, Enterprise
[06:20] <fooks> unavailable, i checked fstab and thats what my cdrom drive is listed under
[06:20] <Jburrke> nickrud, Do you think you can walk me through that in a pm? I'm a super noob when it comes to this shit
[06:20] <unavailable> fooks terminal to /dev and see
[06:20] <ALPSINC> mynetdude: it's appearently the same, just connecting via "localhost" as you bind the ports
[06:21]  * mynetdude didn't know there wsa windows xp enterprise until today... and now I didn't even now it came with vnc viewer
[06:21] <dtrixed> in you guys opion what is the best music player for ubuntu/linux?
[06:21] <nickrud> Jburrke I've only used it once myself, and it was a real life saver. It was pretty simple, just selected an option on a menu
[06:21] <Varak_> the smug level is really high here, have fun smelling your own farts
[06:21] <ALPSINC> mynetdude: my friend let me borrow the cd :P
[06:21] <mynetdude> ALPSINC err again I'm not familiar with doing it with SSH so I have no idea what you were sputternig about localhost... when I do it I just enter the local IP or the public IP with port forwarding
[06:22] <fooks> unavailable, hah, good idea!
[06:22] <unavailable> fooks actually go to /media
[06:22] <nickrud> dtrixed the one I use. Of course, others have different opinions (bad ones I think)
[06:22] <mynetdude> ssh I don't know about the windows vnc viewer try ultravnc or tightvnc for windows
[06:22] <Jburrke> nickrud, what was the name agan?
[06:22] <SitUbuntuSit> does anyone know which compiz plugin allows you to use a corner to order/arrange all the windows on the desktop
[06:22] <fooks> unavailable, it lists the dev name when i type ls
[06:22] <dtrixed> nickrud what is the name of it?
[06:22] <nickrud> Jburrke   Super Grub Disk
[06:23] <fooks> unavailable, cdrom4 instead of cdrom, the command eject -t cdrom4 did it
[06:23] <nickrud> dtrixed I just use rhythmbox. Tried others, and don't need all the bells and whistles
[06:23] <unavailable> kuul
[06:23] <ALPSINC> mynetdude: http://www.realvnc.com/products/download.html
[06:23] <dtrixed> aww ok
[06:23] <ALPSINC> that's the one I have
[06:23] <bazhang> SitUbuntuSit, scale
[06:23] <dtrixed> one thing i'll miss about windows is my winamp
[06:23] <SitUbuntuSit> bazhang, thank you so much :)
[06:23] <unavailable> mynetdude so what is this "xp enterprise"
[06:24] <Jburrke> Do I download this on windows, or linux?
[06:24] <SitUbuntuSit> while I'm here, does anyone know how to change libnotify colors?
[06:24] <bazhang> !xmms | dtrixed
[06:24] <nickrud> Jburrke either. You'll burn it as a bootable cd. It's pretty small
[06:24] <Jburrke> nickrud, Fuck, I dont have a cd
[06:24] <bazhang> Jburrke, no cursing
[06:24] <unavailable> !ohmy | jburrke
[06:24] <Jburrke> bazhang, my bad
[06:25] <nickrud> http://www.supergrubdisk.org/
[06:25] <Jburrke> Every time I come in here I get screamed at
[06:25] <Jburrke> Lol
[06:25] <Jburrke> nickrud Yeah I' there
[06:25] <mynetdude> unavailable ask ALPSINC but apparantly there is an windows XP enterprise edition
[06:25] <nickrud> Jburrke there's a floppy version if you have one still ;)
[06:26] <Jburrke> nickrud, How does this work? Do I have to have the cd in every time I boot it? And if I complete this will  be able to plug the external in and have it recognized????
[06:26] <dtrixed> what is the compiz configuration app called .. or a wre do i go to set up compiz .. spent to much time away frmo ubuntu i think
[06:26] <ALPSINC> mynetdude: http://www.realvnc.com/products/download.html <<<<<<< thereeeeeeee
[06:26] <mynetdude> ALPSINC ah you have realVNC... thats a good one, unfortunately... its payware
[06:26] <Jburrke> nickrud lmao :P
[06:26] <bazhang> !ccsm | dtrixed
[06:26] <mynetdude> ALPSINC as I said... I can't help you, you're trying to use SSH protocols which I know jack about
[06:26] <nickrud> Jburrke no, what will happen is it will rewrite the mbr of the drive in the machine to boot windows.
[06:26] <ryan_> my compiz fusion makes open gl flicker. is that a known issue with ati cards or is there a easy fix?
[06:26] <dtrixed> aww ccsm thanks
[06:26] <ALPSINC> mynetdude: like i said, i borrowed it from my friend :P
[06:27] <XGas> ryan_: Sometimes, my NVIDIA card flickers too.
[06:27]  * mynetdude doesn't care about that ALPSINC it wouldn't matter... if I knew how to do it on SSH I'd help
[06:27] <ALPSINC> mynetdude: ok, fine, but what is x11's 1st desktop port #
[06:27] <nickrud> Jburrke one you've done that, you won't need the cd anymore
[06:27] <Jburrke> nicrud, At that point could I just wipe everything off my extrnl drive?
[06:27] <xTOGx> hello
[06:27] <nickrud> Jburrke yep. I got the impression that's what you wanted to do.
[06:27] <xTOGx> i'm running xubuntu, i'm a new linux user, how do i get my sound to work
[06:28] <dtrixed> bazhang thanks
[06:28] <mynetdude> ALPSINC never heard of it, but I've seen X11vnc though... btw don't you know that ubuntu already comes with a remote desktop server and viewer?
[06:28] <Jburrke> nickrud: Pretty much.. So doing this will allow me to boot windows normally and wipe linux from my external with no problem?
[06:28] <ALPSINC> mynetdude: i'm using xbuntu... for a server enviroment
[06:28] <dtrixed> god i love the ability of being able to just apt-get somthing...
[06:28] <nickrud> Jburrke yes. The key is getting your main hard drive back to booting windows, and supergrubdisk will do that
[06:28] <dtrixed> no waiting or hunting down a site for it
[06:28] <ganymede> ryan_: it's a known issuse and cannot be fixed easily. might be fixed one year from now via DRI2
[06:28] <ryan_> ok thanks
[06:29] <Jburrke> nickrud: Cool, so once I wipe my external will windows recognize the disk when I plug it in?
[06:29] <ganymede> ryan_: both compiz and the opengl app are rendering to the same part of the screen so they're fighting between who gets to be seen
[06:30] <ryan_> how do you put the persons name youre talking to or do you type it
[06:30] <BHSPitLappy> Sometimes after being idle, my wireless and sudo both stop working, and I am forced to C-A-D from one of my tty's
[06:30] <BHSPitLappy> What's causing this, and is there any more graceful way to recover?
[06:30] <AussieBobby> Problem:I have some folders that have a lock icon above them and I'm unable to delete them.These are on a usb HD and they are microsoft that apps that I no longer need
[06:30] <nickrud> Jburrke you would need to reformat it as ntfs but then windows would recognize it. For help in returning it to ntfs, you'd want to go to #windows
[06:30] <BHSPitLappy> ryan_, start typing it and hit TAB
[06:30] <dpn`> AussieBobby: sudo rm instead of rm
[06:30] <ryan_> BHSPitLappy, thank you
[06:30] <ryan_> much brtter
[06:31] <ryan_> better
[06:31] <kmicinski> ahh, I seem to have found my problem. To prove my non n00bness a converstaion is here:
[06:31] <Jburrke> nickrud: Is that something that I'd have to do in linux? I mean if windows isn't recognizing the drive would that be something that I could do when I dont have access to linux any more?
[06:31] <unavailable> mynetdude me thinks he means xp corporate ed (the one without activation)
[06:31] <kmicinski> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-765379.html
[06:31] <unavailable> nickrud jburrke its actually ##windows
[06:31] <ryan_> i've never used irc before because i always confused it with the crummy icq
[06:32] <nickrud> Jburrke the reason windows doesn't recognize it is it's an ext3 file type, and windows can't read that without a plugin. Simply reformat it in windows
[06:32] <Jburrke> Thanks unavailable
[06:32] <ALPSINC> unavailable: http://www.realvnc.com/products/download.html << i had a cd that my friend let me have >.<
[06:32] <Jburrke> nickrud, So when I do this super grub disk I'll still be able to reformat the drive from windows, right?
[06:32] <unavailable> nickrud jburrke but #windows auto redirects you so it was useless for me to tell you
[06:32] <Jburrke> unavailable :P
[06:33] <xTOGx> i'm running xubuntu, i'm a new linux user, how do i get my sound to work? i'm assuming i have to turn it on or get a driver or something?
[06:33] <kmicinski> nonix4: but it seemed to be quite a confusing backport hack
[06:33] <nickrud> unavailable I knew that ;p
[06:33] <unavailable> rofl
[06:33] <ryan_> xTOGx, i dont know, my sound just worked
[06:33] <xTOGx> hm
[06:33] <ryan_> try the ubuntu forums
[06:33] <nickrud> Jburrke yes. You will have windows running as if you had never installed linux
[06:33] <BHSPitLappy> xTOGx, in most cases, you shouldn't have to perform any setup to get sound working
[06:33]  * unavailable thinks you were just too lazy to type that other #   :P
[06:34] <xTOGx> kay, thanks
[06:34] <Frogzoo> xTOGx: usually it works out of the box - what's your sound card?
[06:34] <xTOGx> onboard sound
[06:34] <ryan_> xTOGx, do you have a volume icon by the clock?
[06:34] <Jburrke> nickrud: Yeah I got that, what I mean is will I be able to do whatever I need to do with the drive from windows since it isn't being recognized at the moment.. I mean am I gonna be able to reformat it to ntfs or w/e if it's not even being recognized because it's e3 or w/e?
[06:34] <calc> does anyone know the name of the command line tool to convert text files between the various eol types?
[06:34] <xTOGx> ryan_ no i don't
[06:35] <calc> i forgot what it is called and need to convert a mac text file to linux
[06:35] <unavailable> jburrke it should see a disk and ask for you to fdisk it.
[06:35] <unavailable> *should*
[06:35] <Jburrke> should?
[06:35] <unavailable> *should*
[06:35] <nickrud> Jburrke you were trying to read it. You are going to reformat it, and the reformatting tool will be able to do that. But the guys in ##windows (note the _two_ #'s) will walk you through reformatting the external
[06:35] <Jburrke> That scares me.. I dont want a pointless 250 gig drive sitting around T___T
[06:35] <klenz87> hey i am unable to get the extra graphics to work on hardy iv installed my correct video driver??
[06:36] <unavailable> nickrud :)
[06:36] <Jburrke> Okay, that's later though.. Thanks for all the help
[06:36] <Jburrke> Just to make sure I could do it
[06:36] <Jburrke> Now to start with this super grub crap =S
[06:36] <nickrud> Jburrke I just got through doing that stuff to my external, so I promise it will be very simple ;)
[06:36] <Jburrke> I've got a feeling I'm gonna screw something up supremely
[06:36] <Jburrke> Lol
[06:37] <ryan_> so does anyone know of ane FPS games that will run on ubuntu natively?
[06:37] <Jburrke> Brb.. Gonna tear up my room for a disk XD

[06:41] <ryan_> user01, cool
[06:42] <XGas> ah, .5
[06:42] <user01> ryan_, the top bidder wasnt able to pay
[06:42] <ryan_> i didnt get warrenty because i buy computers so much its not worth it
[06:42] <user01> ryan_, yeah my t40 just died sorta
[06:42] <user01> ryan_, didnt think it was worth getting repaired
[06:43] <ryan_> its sad when computers die, kinda brings a tear to my eyes
[06:43] <user01> ryan_, do you know if i can use the same ac cord with this one?
[06:43] <unavailable> xgas yep youre right... 2.8.3 is win or wine only
[06:43] <Jburrke> Awesome
[06:43] <ryan_> it depends on the voltage and ampage
[06:43] <Jburrke> So, when I finish burning I just boot from this disk when I restart?
[06:43] <XGas> damn
[06:43] <XGas> pity.
[06:43] <Frogzoo> AAB
[06:44] <user01> ryan_, the port replicator for the t40 probably wont work with it
[06:44] <ottoshmidt> why can't I copy files to /usr/... Folders?
[06:44] <redwyrm> Hi. I am trying to scan a document using my printer/scanner combo, but I get a "no devices found" message. How would I make the software recognize my printer? (My printer/scanner is a Canon MP210; I'm using the Flegita plugin for the Gimp to do the scanning; 8.04 Hardy is my OS)
[06:45] <ryan_> user01, yeah, its best to take it in and get matched up with a new cord if it doesnt come with one
[06:45] <Jburrke> Lol, everyone wish me luck
[06:45] <unavailable> break a cdrom...
[06:45] <user01> ryan_, i think it does come with one, i just wanted to use my two t40 cords as spares

[06:59] <mynetdude> ntolo without using a router?
[06:59] <logixoul> Is it possible to make all ALSA audio go through JACK?

[07:00] <Brian88> hi all. When I boot up my Ubuntu (in recovery mode) it says "wbsd : Winbond SD/MMC Driver" <next line> "wbsd : Cannot found device presence, you may experience lock ups". I don't have that device and my Ubuntu has experienced lock up (2 times, each about 10 minutes of running), how to fix it
[07:00] <Gemmie78> Thanks mate
[07:00] <mynetdude> amenado never said he needed a router, but I find it easier imo
[07:00] <ntolo> mynetdude,i have a laptop accessing the router using wireless and desktop using ethernet .I use it to access the internet,so can i set up a LAN from that ?
[07:01] <mynetdude> ntolo its automatically a lan the second you connect one PC to the router, and yes you can connect both PCs that way via the router
[07:01] <microwaver> Hello people, anyone had experience running Xfire through Wine in Ubutnu Heron?

[07:02] <aCCI> can tell me anyone?

[07:03] <rainabba> In the past, I used Compiz-Fusion-Icon to load Compiz and with 8.04 it seems that I have to use the Appearance-Effects panel to enable it. Should that be the case? Is there any reason I wouldn't want to use one over the other? I'm asking because I found that the way compiz is launching now, if I use the icon to do "reload-window-manager", things go hell and get ugly.
[07:04] <BHSPitLappy> aCCI, looks to be a concept for an ubuntu-mobile design
[07:04] <aCCI> mock-up?
[07:04] <mynetdude> ntolo you'd need to setup shares of course, thats the only way AFAIK for ubuntu to access other machines
[07:04] <BHSPitLappy> aCCI, a concept drawing

[07:05] <laurentiu> ryan_ what i do now?
[07:05] <NetEcho> where would I put .ttf files to be able to use them as system fonts?
[07:06] <microwaver> Hello people, anyone had experience running Xfire through Wine in Ubutnu Heron?
[07:06] <Gemmie78> Okay basically there's an error during the java install
[07:06] <Gemmie78> I don't want to paste it here as it's 5 lines
[07:06] <StephenZ> I could give it a shot, Micro, but with my OS as trashed as it is, I can't tell you it's reliable.
[07:06] <BHSPitLappy> aCCI, try gnome-look.org
[07:06] <mynetdude> ntolo I don't know about doing that over the network, unless both machines are ubuntu?
[07:07] <ntolo> mynetdude,Yes they are all ubuntu
[07:07] <aCCI> BHSPitLappy,  and what to press beryl , gdm themes what??.
[07:07] <laurentiu> Who help me?

[07:08] <Gemmie78> Dude don't be a dweeb
[07:08] <Gemmie78> I need a paste bin, no one linked me
[07:08] <Gemmie78> Finally -_-
[07:08] <Gemmie78> Thank you
[07:08] <Flannel> Gemmie78: It is in the channel topic as well ;)
[07:08] <Gemmie78> Which I already cleared :P
[07:08] <Gemmie78>   /clear
[07:09] <Gemmie78> http://paste.ubuntu.com/22292/
[07:09] <saint-takeshi> oooh...hostility in #ubuntu? what is the world coming to?
[07:09] <Gemmie78> So what now?
[07:09] <BHSPitLappy> Gemmie78, /topic
[07:09] <Gemmie78> (16:06:37) Gemmie78: I don't want to paste it here as it's 5 lines
[07:09] <BHSPitLappy> for future reference
[07:10] <Gemmie78> Yeah a bit late now, I know
[07:10] <Gemmie78> I did say I didn't want to paste it, but I really need to fix the problem within the next 2 hours :P
[07:10] <BHSPitLappy> there's also pastebin.com, and many more that google will help you to find
[07:10] <saint-takeshi> next thing we know, you'll be able to get friendly, helpful advice in #slackware
[07:10] <node357> microwaver, xfire fonts don't display properly with wine.... don't know of any way to fix it
[07:10] <redwyrm> is it possible that this channel has too many users and ought to be split up into different areas of support?
[07:10] <BHSPitLappy> saint-takeshi, try #gentoo
[07:10] <Flannel> Gemmie78: No no, pastebin your sources.list, /etc/apt/souces.list
[07:10] <Gemmie78> Okay thanks for paste bin then
[07:10] <BHSPitLappy> or ask for ubuntu advice in #debian
[07:11] <Flannel> redwyrm: If you'd like to discuss it,we can talk about it in #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:11] <redwyrm> BHSPitLappy, the people in #debian hate that, you know :D
[07:11] <Gemmie78> bash: /etc/apt/souces.list: No such file or directory
[07:11] <BHSPitLappy> redwyrm, oh?  :P
[07:11] <microwaver> node357, I can't totally run it. it opens and then crashes, so its due to the fonts?
[07:11] <node357> microwaver, people can msg you in Xfire but you can't read their names in the main window
[07:11] <Flannel> Gemmie78: sorry, sources.list
[07:11] <Gemmie78> So what exactly should I do now, do I need to reinstall ubuntu for the 3rd time, I've already configured everything :(
[07:11] <node357> microwaver, oh crashes. not sure there. should go to www.winehq.org and get wine 1.0
[07:11] <prince> Anyone familiar with soft raid array?
[07:11] <Gemmie78> I type that in terminal?
[07:12] <prince> I need to see and and mount my raid array
[07:12] <mynetdude> I was going to ask about xfire too... since there isn't one for linux
[07:12] <prince> but not sure how to do it
[07:13] <Gemmie78> Anyone?
[07:13] <Flannel> node357, microwaver, wine 1 will be in hardy-updates soon if there aren't any problems
[07:13] <nickrud> Gemmie78 gedit /etc/apt/sources.list , and put the contents on the pastebin
[07:13] <microwaver> node357, is the newest wine in the repositories of hardy?
[07:13] <node357> Flannel, sweet. that's great news
[07:13] <prince> how do I add my raid array to my fstab?
[07:13] <node357> microwaver, read Flannel;s comment
[07:14] <node357> I have xfire somewhat working with wine 1.0 from winehq site, but can't read text in the main window
[07:14] <microwaver> node357, Flannel so they will be soon :p :-)
[07:14] <mynetdude> Flannel is wine 1.0 the next newest version?
[07:14] <node357> microwaver yep :)
[07:14] <microwaver> node357, i'll just use a vm then :p
[07:14] <Gemmie78> I just retyped a few things, and resintalled the software
[07:14] <Gemmie78> Finally hit tab, all is good
[07:15] <mynetdude> thats the problem... why? I just don't understand VMing a an OS just for one app
[07:15] <Gemmie78> Thank you so much, I feel like a dick not so much for being hostile but for not using the paste bin
[07:15] <|||seb|||> help! my sources.list has main, universe and multiverse but I'm STILL missing some apps like gxine
[07:15] <Gemmie78> I didn't want to flood, but since I hardly paste a lot or required help, never used it
[07:15] <Gemmie78> Thanks to all those involved, now updating.
[07:15] <Howdy> looking for help in adding my raid array to my fstab
[07:15] <Howdy> ?
[07:15] <nickrud> Gemmie78 it takes some time to get used to the idea of being nice on irc to get help, rather than the reverse ;)
[07:16] <Gemmie78> Believe it or not, I generally am
[07:16] <Gemmie78> It's just I'm in a rush, if I was rude to you, my apoligies
[07:16] <Gemmie78> :)
[07:16] <nickrud> Gemmie78 no offense taken
[07:17] <Gemmie78> Time to check out kubuntu
[07:18] <mynetdude> heh, being nice is just an incentive for wanting to give help... I'd rather not be mean either
[07:18] <mynetdude> too bad the google desktop doesn't have a deskbar in ubuntu like windows does
[07:19] <|||seb|||> why gxine shows up in one machine's "aptitude search xine" but no in other's?
[07:19] <mynetdude> does anybody know if the URL addressbar can be put on the gnome panel like you can on the XP task bar?
[07:19] <ntolo> How do i get the ip address of my computer in a network ?
[07:19] <aCCI> can anyone tell me how to install BERYL on ubuntu????
[07:19] <theFATMAN> how do I adjust my screen reolution in hardy? i have an ATI card that has a max rate of 75mhz, but it's locked 60mhz, how do I override or correct this?
[07:19] <mynetdude> ntolo open terminal and type ifconfig
[07:19] <orphean> |||seb|||: did you modify your repos to include universe and multiverse?  did you run sudo apt-get update after that?
[07:19] <|||seb|||> orphean: yes! multiple times!
[07:19] <mynetdude> aCCI get compiz, which is now beryl
[07:20] <aCCI> mynetdude,  what is compiz?
[07:20] <Alex_Gaynor> Hi, I just got a VPS with ubuntu-8.04-minimal installed on it, and I'm trying to get setup, I created a new user with adduser, however when I try to ssh in I get a permission denied error, right now I am just logged in as root
[07:20] <Gemmie78> Wouldn't it be funny if I could run a server on the computer I use ubuntu on, while surfing the net and on pidgin
[07:20] <Gemmie78> Is this possible?
[07:20] <mynetdude> !compiz | aCCI
[07:20] <orphean> Gemmie78: yep
[07:20] <Gemmie78> Sweet
[07:20] <Flannel> aCCI: compiz-fusion is the reunification of the fork
[07:20] <orphean> aCCI: hardy installs it by default, fyi
[07:20] <Gemmie78> All my friends can get their files for uni and the professors notes
[07:20] <aCCI> mynetdude,  how to get?? compiz
[07:20] <Gemmie78> How exactly would I do that anyways?
[07:20] <aCCI> where to download
[07:21] <Flannel> aCCI: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[07:21] <aCCI> 8.04
[07:21] <Flannel> aCCI: you already have it installed then
[07:21] <Flannel> aCCI: (and are already using it)
[07:21] <aCCI> and now how to install beryl?
[07:21] <Howdy> Anyone know how to mount my raid array in fstab and make sure the kernel sees it, its a software raid array?
[07:21] <orphean> |||seb|||: open a terminal and enter gedit /etc/apt/sources.list then give me a pastbin link of what comes up
[07:21] <Flannel> aCCI: You don't.  Beryl doesn't exist anymore
[07:21] <theFATMAN> how do I adjust my screen reolution in hardy? i have an ATI card that has a max rate of 75mhz, but it's locked 60mhz, how do I override or correct this?
[07:21] <mynetdude> aCCI orphean just told you, its installed by default
[07:22] <aCCI> y  i understand
[07:22] <mynetdude> yeah compiz is now beryl, you don't get beryl anymore
[07:22] <aCCI> and how to get theme now for compiz
[07:22] <aCCI> or how to active compiz
[07:22] <|||seb|||> orphean: gladly....just a sec
[07:22] <Iro1> hi everyoune. I'm trying o make firefox open asf files. it tells me it needs decoder application/x-mmsh. Where can i get it?
[07:22] <Flannel> aCCI: It is active.  You probably want to install the compizconfig-settings-manager package, which will let you configure everything
[07:23] <aCCI> Flannel,  thanx for help
[07:23] <aCCI> but how  to install compizconfig-settings-manager package
[07:23] <aCCI> ?
[07:23] <mynetdude> is anyone familiar with the cylinder desktop like compiz makes the cube for ubuntu?
[07:23] <orphean> aCCI: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[07:23] <laurentiu> lol nobody answar
[07:23] <Flannel> aCCI: open up synaptic, and mark that pcakge for installation.  Or what orphean just said, if you prefer the terminal
[07:23] <laurentiu> for my question
[07:23] <laurentiu> [:|]
[07:23] <aCCI> thanx Flannel  and all
[07:24] <mynetdude> laurentiu I think we're blind, say again? :P

[07:25] <orphean> aCCI: System->Preferences->Advanced Desktop Effects Settings

[07:27] <laurentiu> what is open driver?
[07:28] <Flannel> laurentiu: Its an open source driver, not ATIs, but written by 'regular' people.
[07:28] <saint-takeshi> laurentiu: you don't need the proprietary driver, you'll get better results using the open source "ati" one
[07:28] <laurentiu> at this link ?
[07:28] <laurentiu> :|
[07:29] <saint-takeshi> laurentiu: alt+F2, then type gksu gedit /etc/xorg.conf
[07:29] <Flannel> laurentiu: You don't need the official ATI driver.  You're already good to go.
[07:29] <saint-takeshi> oh yeah
[07:29] <redwyrm> I am trying to scan a document using my printer/scanner combo, but I get a "no devices found" message. How would I make the software recognize my printer? (My printer/scanner is a Canon MP210; I'm using the Flegita plugin for the Gimp to do the scanning; 8.04 Hardy is my OS)

[07:37] <blah569> What do I replace <idle package> with?
[07:37] <ottoshmidt> wols_, then source path followed by destination?
[07:37] <wols_> ottoshmidt: yes
[07:37] <laurentiu> hei saint
[07:37] <fserve> aCCI, just "emerald --replace"
[07:37] <blah569> Actually, Nevermind.
[07:37] <ottoshmidt> wols_, separated by Space?
[07:37] <laurentiu> When i type a letter ..i hear now a sound in my pc not in my boxes
[07:38] <wols_> ottoshmidt: it's a normal copy operation
[07:38] <laurentiu> How i stop this sound  !!??? ?
[07:38] <mrselfpwn> hello
[07:38] <Flannel> !repeat | laurentiu
[07:38] <wols_> laurentiu: go to a console. do you hear the sound there too?

[07:39] <orphean> mirc?
[07:39] <laurentiu> ?
[07:39] <ioioio> Hi, I have a problem during the install of Ubuntu: partitions have disappeared!
[07:39] <wols_> ottoshmidt: he doesn't know better
[07:39] <laurentiu> ?
[07:39] <ottoshmidt> wols_, he?
[07:40] <ioioio> I cannot see my partitions...It's incredible! What should I do?
[07:40] <ioioio> Probably they're unmounted
[07:40] <Gemmie78> Maybe
[07:40] <wols_> ioioio: fdisk -l
[07:40] <BezNalogov> Hello people. I want to create a custom theme for my ubuntu 8.04, but I am unable to find a tutorial how to make a custom (usplash) boot splash. Can somebody tell me where I can find such tutorial?
[07:40] <Gemmie78> I had a spare HDD in an enclosure
[07:40] <Gemmie78> It said drive failed to mount
[07:40] <BezNalogov> Or does anybody know a tool how to make a bootsplash?
[07:40] <ottoshmidt> wols_, and if multiple files? *.*/directory?
[07:40] <Gemmie78> Now I can't remember how to mount it
[07:40] <Flannel> BezNalogov:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto
[07:40] <wols_> laurentiu: stop messaging people unasked or I will report you to the ops
[07:41] <wols_> ottoshmidt: no
[07:41] <ottoshmidt> wols_, but how?
[07:41] <wols_> cp * <destination>
[07:41] <BezNalogov> Thanks Flannel!
[07:41] <laurentiu> i try to rr computer...when you guy not helping me X(
[07:41] <wols_> !grounding
[07:42] <ioioio> I can see the partitions doing "fdisk -l", but they do NOT appear on G Parted
[07:42] <mrselfpwn> what is the default permissions for /dev/input/event* ?
[07:42] <saint-takeshi> !win laurentiu
[07:42] <saint-takeshi> awww...:(
[07:43] <nubuntu> god, i don't know whats happening to my computer.  now i have no more panels as of today when i turnd it on... i figured out how to go in thru the filesystem to usr/bin to find programs, but what a pain.  all this started when i tried to upgrade my video card driver for an installation of google earth.  anyone else having such a prob?
[07:43] <nubuntu> my screen resolution is all goofy too, i don't really know what it is rendering at, but it ain't very high i can say.
[07:43] <mrselfpwn> anyone?
[07:43] <mrselfpwn> what is the default permissions for /dev/input/event* ?
[07:44] <wols_> nubuntu: what videocard do you have exactly?
[07:44] <prince> hmm
[07:44] <nubuntu> wols_: tnt2 i believe
[07:44] <cabrioleur> mrselfpwn,  crw-rw----
[07:44] <wols_> nubuntu: don't "believe", it's not an article of faith. CHECK instead
[07:44] <Starnestommy> mrselfpwn: I think it's 550 or 660
[07:45]  * prince is Looking for help mounting his software raid array
[07:45] <Starnestommy> mrselfpwn: it's 660
[07:45] <nubuntu> wols_: i checked, the system detects tnt2,  i say i bilieve, cause i wasn't sure if it was accurate
[07:46] <wols_> nubuntu: pastebin your lspci output
[07:46] <nubuntu> i just type lspci into term?
[07:46] <saint-takeshi> nubuntu: yep.
[07:46] <mynetdude> hey I noticed there is a newer version of compiz, ubuntu ships with 0.7.4, the newest one is 0.7.6 how can I update it?
[07:47] <nubuntu> what will the terminal be called in the filesystem, i don't have any menu?
[07:47] <wols_> mynetdude: you wait for a new ubuntu version
[07:47] <orphean> mynetdude: it's best to just wait til its in the repos.
[07:47] <mynetdude> oh... yeah I was gonna say there isn't a 3rd party repos for the ubuntu version
[07:47] <wols_> nubuntu: if you have a cli you already have a terminal...
[07:47] <saint-takeshi> mynetdude: if it's not in the repos, then either compile from source (usually painless) or wait.
[07:48] <wols_> saint-takeshi: it's NOT painless for someone who doesn't know. if it's not yet it will be when he upgrades
[07:48] <mynetdude> saint-takeshi compilation doesn't sound like a bad idea... except for the fact that I'm not sure I'd have to remove the old version or not?
[07:48] <mynetdude> yeah its easier to manage repos than compiling anyway... compiling doesn't sound easy
[07:49] <orphean> mynetdude: if you aren't experienced with things breaking I would really recommend not compiling.
[07:49] <saint-takeshi> mynetdude: yeah, probably best to just leave it, then...
[07:49] <mynetdude> so how long will it be before it gets put into the ubuntu repos?
[07:49] <nubuntu> wols_: any idea where i find the terminal in the filesystem?  its not listed as terminal in usr/bin ... ?
[07:50] <blackfriar> XTERM
[07:50] <blackfriar> xterm
[07:50] <Starnestommy> nubuntu: I think it might be /usr/bin/gnome-terminal
[07:50] <wols_> nubuntu: you said you are starting the programs via terminal. so you already have one
[07:50] <mynetdude> err I'm not at my ubuntu machine, but he could just go to accessories>terminal
[07:50] <MoreOvaltine> hey guys, i recently insalled hardy heron, with xfce, and it stil is running slow.
[07:50] <MoreOvaltine> Any Ideas?
[07:50] <Bogaurd> I have a headless machine which seems to run fine, then after 20 days or so it'll seemingly randomly hang, doesnt seem to be anything in the logs. Any ideas on what could be causing it?
[07:50] <wols_> MoreOvaltine: my idea is it's a useless error description
[07:51] <mynetdude> hardy heron WITH xfce? interesting...
[07:51] <saint-takeshi> mynetdude: he doesn't have a panel. that's the whole problem.
[07:51] <mynetdude> saint-takeshi ah
[07:51] <saint-takeshi> nubuntu: alt+F2, then type xterm in the little box an voila! you have a terminal.
[07:51] <MoreOvaltine> Im guessing all the visual effects won't work on Ye Olde computer
[07:52] <StephenZ> Sheesh. And now the torrent is hard to find.
[07:52] <nubuntu> wols_: no, i said i was launching by clicking on the filesystem icon on the desktop
[07:52] <mynetdude> MoreOvaltine well I suppose if you had the Kubuntu with xfce it would run pretty fast from what I understand
[07:52] <StephenZ> What's the difference between KDE and GNOME?
[07:52] <StephenZ> To a layman like myself.
[07:52] <mynetdude> nubuntu how do you even get to the filesystem if you have no panels?
[07:52] <wols_> the name
[07:52] <saint-takeshi> wols_: i'm not sure he IS starting things through the terminal...i thought he said he was using the file browser to go to /usr/bin
[07:52] <Starnestommy> StephenZ: KDE is more like Windows in its design
[07:53] <mynetdude> saint-takeshi yeah he just did say that
[07:53] <orphean> StephenZ: They do essentially the same thing. KDE is a bit more configurable, and GNOME strives to be more user friendly.
[07:53] <Dr-Pepsi_> I need Help!
[07:53] <blackfriar> correction KDE is more like windows in its look
[07:53] <MoreOvaltine> Lol
[07:54] <mynetdude> so KDE looks more like windows, more configurable which !=user friendly... hmm
[07:54] <MoreOvaltine> Should i downgrade to Dapper or Feisty, because I don't know how to make this thing go any faster.
[07:54] <saint-takeshi> StephenZ: gnome feels like a cross between MacOS and the old Amiga Workbench...KDE feels like Windows 2000
[07:54] <mynetdude> wonder how friendly REactos is :P
[07:54] <Dr-Pepsi_> How do I share my printer that is using Ubuntu with a Windows Computer over a Network?
[07:54] <nubuntu> mynetdude: i have an icon for the filesystem on the desktop, i think it's always there on xubuntu
[07:54] <mynetdude> MoreOvaltine you might like kubuntu if you want the xfce
[07:54] <Starnestommy> Dr-Pepsi_: I think samba can share printers
[07:54] <Ace2016_> kde is easier to use and has more options to configure it, gnome drives me mad every time i go in it, i miss all the options
[07:55] <StephenZ> For someone like myself, with no experience with any Linux system, but extensive experience on Windows and who can probably pick up on how things work relatively well... Which would one suggest?
[07:55] <MoreOvaltine> I installed xfce already, it just didn't make a difference in peformance.
[07:55] <magnetron> Dr-Pepsi_: first, make the printer work locally. then yo install samba
[07:55] <Dr-Pepsi> ok
[07:55] <nubuntu> saint-takeshi: thank you, have terminal now.
[07:55] <wols_> StephenZ: either one. doesn't matter
[07:55] <Dr-Pepsi> my Computer is a fuckbag and won't let me go to windows xD
[07:55] <blackfriar> install them all kubuntu xubuntu ubuntu, then choose which session to loginto
[07:55] <orphean> StephenZ: Whichever one appeals to you more. Seriously.
[07:56] <StephenZ> Well, I don't have any experience with any of 'em.
[07:56] <Dr-Pepsi> Where do I fund Samba?
[07:56] <mynetdude> wait... you can install more than one linux without partitioning?
[07:56] <blackfriar> you will after you use them
[07:56] <magnetron> Dr-Pepsi: in synaptic package manager
[07:56] <Dr-Pepsi> ok
[07:56] <magnetron> !samba | Dr-Pepsi
[07:56] <StephenZ> That goes without saying, Blackfriar. But I don't have three weeks to spend downloading and fiddling with all of them.
[07:56] <blackfriar> they are dwindows managers, the underlying operating system is the same
[07:57] <StephenZ> Well, if you were pressured into suggesting one, which would it be?
[07:57] <Sa[i]nT> I have this UIF file here. How in the hell do I make it an ISO in ubuntu?
[07:57] <Dr-Pepsi> magetron: Ok
[07:57] <ioioio> Hi everybody, I have a BIG problem trying to install Ubuntu. When I load Gparted, it doesn't show any partition I have....although they appear in terminal if I write "fdisk -l". What should I do?
[07:57] <mynetdude> blackfriar I thought ubuntu was an OS itself?
[07:57] <orphean> StephenZ: It doesn't really matter you can run KDE apps in gnome, gnome apps in KDE, etc.  Since you're in #ubuntu I'm assuming you're using GNOME. If you want to try kde install kubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-kde4-desktop and switch your session to try it out.
[07:57] <blackfriar> ubuntu is a distributionm of linux
[07:57] <blackfriar>  based on debian
[07:57] <ioioio> I have a BIG problem trying to install Ubuntu. When I load Gparted, it doesn't show any partition I have....although they appear in terminal if I write "fdisk -l". What should I do?
[07:57] <Dr-Pepsi> W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/s/samba/samba_3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.1_i386.deb

[07:58] <blackfriar> it uses (ubuntu) gnome as a windows manager
[07:58] <mynetdude> !spam | ionstorm
[07:58] <mynetdude> err wrong person
[07:58] <mynetdude> but I think he'll get it
[07:58] <saint-takeshi> StevenZ: gnome takes about a week to get comfortable, for a linux virgin coming straight from windows. kde's probably about the same
[07:58] <mynetdude> !spam
[07:58] <mynetdude> blah forget it
[07:58] <Sa[i]nT> I have this UIF file here. How do I make it an ISO in ubuntu?
[07:58] <ioioio> Hey..
[07:58] <ioioio> What do I have to do?
[07:59] <StephenZ> Orphean: Well, I have to do a complete OS reinstall, as I managed (apparently) to hose the host and root bits. So... Well. Just trying to figure out which would likely be more easily worth my time. As you're telling me KDE is more configurable... I'm thinking about that one.
[07:59] <Dr-Pepsi> magnetron, ughhh It says it cant find it
[07:59] <nubuntu> wols_: i can't copy/paste from the xterm apparently, but the output says : vga compat controller: nvidia NV%M^$ (RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro)(Rev 15)
[07:59] <mynetdude> just ask your question and wait patiently, someone who knows will come along ioioio
[07:59] <ioioio> I've already asked twice.
[07:59] <ioioio> I have a BIG problem trying to install Ubuntu. When I load Gparted, it doesn't show any partition I have....although they appear in terminal if I write "fdisk -l". What should I do?
[07:59] <orphean> StephenZ: There we go then. :) I direct you to #kubuntu when you get it up and running.
[07:59] <mynetdude> I know... you're still spamming but alas
[07:59] <magnetron> !synaptic | Dr-Pepsi
[07:59] <Dr-Pepsi> i know
[08:00] <Dr-Pepsi> it says it can't download the file because it cant find it
[08:00] <mynetdude> so let me get this straight you can install kubuntu and all the others right in along with ubuntu?
[08:00] <mynetdude> does it have to be partitioned?
[08:00] <magnetron> Dr-Pepsi: does your printer work locally yet?
[08:00] <Dr-Pepsi> Magnetron: yes
[08:00] <aaron_> hi
[08:00] <mynetdude> so for each ubuntu variation I have to partition?
[08:00] <ioioio> mynetdude: Can you please answer?
[08:00] <Dr-Pepsi> Hi aaron
[08:00] <orphean> mynetdude: no need to parition. just install the appropriate *desktop package (kubuntu-desktop, xbunut-desktop)
[08:00] <magnetron> Dr-Pepsi: then search for a package named "samba" in synaptic. it's THERE.
[08:01] <ioioio> Noone answer...
[08:01] <blackfriar> mynetdude: no
[08:01] <ioioio> And I've asked my question three times
[08:01] <orphean> mynetdude: then when you login you can choose which one to use from the menu (look for Session)
[08:01] <mynetdude> ioioio no I can't because I don't know, would you rather have an answer saying something like "go wash floors"?
[08:01] <magnetron> !patience | ioioio
[08:01] <aaron_> how do you install .tar files on ubuntu?
[08:01] <saint-takeshi> mynetdude: you can if you want, but that would be redundant. you can just install the KDE, XFCE or whatever other desktop environment you like on top of whichever you choose
[08:01] <Dr-Pepsi> magnetron:  I know, it found it but i get an error! W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/s/samba/samba_3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.1_i386.deb
[08:01] <Dr-Pepsi>   404 Not Found [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]
[08:01] <mynetdude> oh I just want the desktop, not the whole distro
[08:02] <blackfriar> aaron: extract it first, you can't per se install a tar file
[08:02] <compubomb> i have ubuntu 8.04 LTS with gnome, does ubuntu 8.04 LTS have KDE4 ?
[08:02] <compubomb> i'm not in linux atm, i'm just curious.
[08:02] <mynetdude> can the desktops be installed via synaptics?
[08:02] <orphean> mynetdude: yep
[08:02] <mynetdude> really... I'm getting more intrigued by this...
[08:02] <ioioio> But it is so important! javascript:galleriaN("Europei","2008/06_Giugno/europei/23.&1");
[08:02] <magnetron> Dr-Pepsi: oh, you are using the US mirror? that one is quite crappy.
[08:02] <ioioio> Sorry
[08:02] <nubuntu> wols_: that's NV5M64
[08:02] <aaron_> ok I did extract it...what do I do with it now?
[08:02]  * saint-takeshi considers putting kde on here, just to play with
[08:02] <Sa[i]nT> compubomb, All you have to do is install KDE from synaptic.
[08:02] <blackfriar> ubuntu is GNOME kubuntu is KDE, add the other desktop and it is nearly the same
[08:02] <nubuntu> wols_: i can't copy/paste from the xterm apparently, but the output says : vga compat controller: nvidia NV%M^$ (RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro)(Rev 15)
[08:02] <Dr-Pepsi> magnetron:  lol? What do I do?
[08:03] <compubomb> cool.
[08:03] <ioioio> I have a BIG problem trying to install Ubuntu. When I load Gparted, it doesn't show any partition I have....although they appear in terminal if I write "fdisk -l". What should I do?
[08:03] <magnetron> Dr-Pepsi: try another mirror.
[08:03] <Dr-Pepsi> How?
[08:03] <mynetdude> ioioio I'll just say this.. not that I recommend you do it but IMO use the guided install
[08:03]  * mynetdude hates manual installs and fixing crap...
[08:04] <ioioio> mynetdude: it doesn't show any partition!
[08:04] <magnetron> !repository | Dr-Pepsi
[08:04]  * ioioio want to install manually
[08:04] <wols_> nubuntu: then you need nvidia legacy drivers
[08:04] <mynetdude> ioioio the guided install would create a partition and all that for you
[08:04] <blackfriar> magnetron: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[08:04] <mynetdude> ioioio ah well then I don't know, sorry
[08:04] <magnetron> blackfriar: not me!
[08:04] <blackfriar> sorry
[08:04] <orphean> mynetdude: doesn't guided install wipe the whole disk?
[08:05] <orphean> mynetdude: might be careful with that advice.
[08:05] <mynetdude> blackfriar lol I've done that, its alright getting someone else's name in the tab complete doesn't help much :P
[08:05] <mynetdude> orphean yes, but not if you select the first option which is to set the partition size
[08:05] <Dr-Pepsi> magnetron:  Now it downloading 42 random files...I switched to main server
[08:05] <mynetdude> orphean the 2nd option wipes the disk
[08:05] <mynetdude> so what are all the desktops I can get for ubuntu?
[08:06] <mynetdude> kubuntu, what else?
[08:06] <blackfriar> xubuntu blubuntu edubuntu
[08:06] <Dr-Pepsi> !commands
[08:06] <mynetdude> I hope all that doesn't take up much space
[08:06] <saint-takeshi> mynetdude: those are "flavors" of ubuntu
[08:07] <Dr-Pepsi> magnetron:  I got it installed now what?
[08:07] <saint-takeshi> mynetdude: each using a different desktop environment by default
[08:07] <orphean> mynetdude: xubuntu, kubuntu-kde4-desktop, gobuntu, mythbuntu, i think there's a christian desktop in there as well
[08:07] <kevin_> After installing Ubuntu and dual booting windows how would i go about giving my ubuntu partition more space
[08:07]  * prince is looking for help in adding his raid array to his fstab
[08:07] <saint-takeshi> orphean: a christian desktop?
[08:07]  * prince asks how to do add his raid array to his fstab?
[08:08] <orphean> kevin_: defrag your windows partition in windows then use gparted from the livecd to resize it smaller and and expand the ubuntu partition
[08:08] <orphean> saint-takeshi: i kid you not
[08:08] <kevin_> ok, thanks
[08:08] <compubomb> what is the main package i have to install to get KDE4 ?
[08:08] <orphean> saint-takeshi: icthux-desktop :)
[08:08] <compubomb> is there like an alias package that installs everything ?
[08:08] <orphean> compubomb: kubuntu-kde4-desktop works well
[08:09] <blackfriar> add a refernece to /dev/mdn where n is the raid  as you would for a regular partition
[08:09] <Bert_2> Hi, I want to make my ubuntu system an LTSP server for PXE boot thin clients, can anyone help me with that or point me to the right documentation/channel ?
[08:09] <prince> Blackfriar hmm
[08:09] <Dr-Pepsi> magnetron:  OMFG! It found it!
[08:09] <magnetron> !ltsp | Bert_2
[08:09] <weesyz> How can I chmod or set permissions to a folder where all files is readable and downloadable by public_html
[08:09] <blackfriar> prince:  how did you build the raid
[08:10] <Bert_2> !edubuntuhandbook
[08:10] <Dr-Pepsi> !cookie
[08:10] <Dr-Pepsi> >_><_<
[08:10] <Sa[i]nT> I have this UIF file here. How do I make it an ISO in ubuntu?
[08:10] <prince> Blackfriar, how do I make sure my sda/sdb/sdc partions are combined into a raid 5, I had a system failure on my root partition and have data on that array
[08:10] <pist0l-fish> can anyone help me configure dual-screens for GNOME?
[08:10] <Dr-Pepsi> IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[08:10] <prince> I reinstalled ubuntu, but can't access it yet blackfriar
[08:10] <Dr-Pepsi> Thank You magnetron
[08:11] <prince> blackfriar, woudl it help if I pastebinned dmraid -r?
[08:11] <blackfriar> prince: start of  with cat /proc/mdstat
[08:11] <mynetdude> yeah I heard about a muslim desktop too
[08:12] <newbie_699> hello
[08:12] <nubuntu> wols_: you still here?
[08:12] <blackfriar> prince: this will show the satatus of the array
[08:12] <mynetdude> orphean, whats the difference between kubuntu-desktop vs kubuntu-kde4-desktop?
[08:12] <prince> blackfriar, http://paste.ubuntu.com/22302/
[08:12] <Slart> Sa[i]nT: you have searched the forums, right?
[08:13] <Slart> mynetdude: I think kubuntu-desktop uses KDE 3..
[08:13] <elitemind> need some help, I mounted my psp to my system mount /dev/sdc1 psp it shows the files but i cant move any files i want over from my computer to it. What am i doing wrong?
[08:13] <orphean> mynetdude: kubuntu-desktop installed kde 3.5
[08:13] <Slart> mynetdude: and the other one uses KDE4 which is brand new..
[08:13] <aaron_> will adobe flash player with ubuntu?
[08:13] <mynetdude> :(
[08:13] <Slart> aaron_: yes, adobe flash will with ubuntu =)
[08:13] <mynetdude> well I'm already getting the kubuntu-desktop
[08:13] <Sa[i]nT> Slart, I've searched and found useless crap. I should'nt have to use a program with wine or whatnot.
[08:13] <blackfriar> prince: you have no raids defined
[08:14] <aaron_> Cool...I downloaded the .tar installer for it..how do I install it on ubuntu?
[08:14] <mynetdude> funny thing is I couldn't find kubuntu-desktop in synaptics, so I did it through terminal
