[04:18] <Dreamglider> is it possible to have tree screens with ubuntu, my laptop has a VGA and a DVI(With a VGA adaptor on) can i use two vga screens, one on each side and the LCD at the same time ?
[04:18] <blah561> Why is it that after long usage time (a few hours), Firefox does not open, and Terminal does not open (It opens, however, it looks like it is attempting to open, however, it's inactive, and if you click on it, it asks you to "Force Quit."  Other applications such as OpenOffice.org and such still open, however.
[04:18] <Dreamglider> three*
[04:19] <Azlx> looking for help with static ip's.
[04:19] <cjs> Grr...now it's telling me I have a broken package....
[04:19] <CapTech> cjs: Try running: sudo dpkg --configure -a
[04:19] <yoyoned> cjs: paste thee error
[04:20] <cjs> It's some graphical thing, the update manager, I think.
[04:20] <solid_liq> ah HAH!
[04:20] <ronzilla_> angus, not seeing any errors in the log file, its not very long either
[04:20] <ronzilla_> only one actuualy
[04:20] <ronzilla_> arkers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting,
[04:20] <ronzilla_> 	(++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational,
[04:20] <ronzilla_> 	(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
[04:20] <angusthefuzz> ronzilla_: are you in X or are you at a terminal?
[04:20] <FloodBot2> ronzilla_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:20] <nowimproved> CapTech, like anything to do with gnome finally opens but then freezes
[04:20] <blah561>  Why is it that after long usage time (a few hours), Firefox does not open, and Terminal does not open (It opens, however, it looks like it is attempting to open, however, it's inactive, and if you click on it, it asks you to "Force Quit."  Other applications such as OpenOffice.org and such still open, however.
[04:20] <cjs> But back to my original question, just for a sec, what do I need to do to get apt-get to install dependencies. I thought it would do that automatically with "apt-get install blah".
[04:21] <nowimproved> Whereas anything kde and what not is fine
[04:21] <ronzilla_> right now im in X
[04:21] <thiebaude> !x
[04:21] <cjs> Oh, huh, it did install it; I wonder why I got the complaints?
[04:21] <yoyoned> cjs: apt-get -f update
[04:21] <angusthefuzz> ronzilla_: you need to get the package nvidia-settings
[04:21] <yoyoned> cjs:  I meant to say apt-get -f upgrade
[04:22] <ronzilla_> nvidia-xconfig-1.0  ???
[04:22] <angusthefuzz> ronzilla_: it can be run from the system->administrators menu and it will help you configure dual monitors
[04:22] <thiebaude> !nvidia
[04:22] <blah561>  Why is it that after long usage time (a few hours), Firefox does not open, and Terminal does not open (It opens, however, it looks like it is attempting to open, however, it's inactive, and if you click on it, it asks you to "Force Quit."  Other applications such as OpenOffice.org and such still open, however.
[04:22] <angusthefuzz> ronzilla_: no, it is called "nvidia-settings"
[04:22] <ronzilla_> alright
[04:22] <yoyoned> !repeat|blah561
[04:23] <CapTech> nowimproved: Hmmm.  You could try to create a new login, then try to log in with that username and password, and see if things work for you there.
[04:23] <scunizi> ronzilla, from terminal sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings then sudo nvidia-settings to start and configure.
[04:23] <nowimproved> CapTech, i'm looking that up right now
[04:23] <CapTech> nowimproved: If they don't, then it's highly likely you have a hosed install.
[04:23] <ronzilla_> run it from synaptic?
[04:23]  * CapTech runs xubuntu.
[04:23] <CapTech> xfce FTW!
[04:23] <thiebaude> from a terminal
[04:24] <Monkey_> Anyone know why I'm not seeing the Broadcom STA driver?

[04:25] <ajhtiredwolf> Hey, I have a network drive that is automatically mounted on start up, problem is it seems that it trys to mount it before the network starts, it also seems to have trouble unmounting it when shutting down the computer, it can cause it to hang for a very unreasonably long time, is there a way to specify that t he drive should be mounted AFTER the network is started?
[04:25] <hml> what's broken in ubuntu beta? deciginb between ubuntu 8.04 vs 8.10beta
[04:25] <eitreach> hml: Might as well wait to the RC - it's in four days.
[04:26] <dr_willis> hml,  wait 2 weeks to use 8.10 -  Unless ya really really gotta have it..
[04:26] <qwerfd> keram
[04:26] <thiebaude> nothing broke for me
[04:26] <hml> eitreach dr_willis : suggestion is to use 8.04 instead?
[04:26] <ronzilla_> thanks for you help guys, I will try it out
[04:26] <hml> eitreach dr_willis : or will it be trivial to upgrade from 8.10 beta?
[04:26] <eitreach> hml: But, there are some redraw-issues. That's pretty much what I've experienced.
[04:26] <shane^au> hello
[04:26] <scunizi> hml, are you thinking of installing for the first time? or upgrading?
[04:26] <eitreach> hml: I already like 8.10 better than 8.04, although it's only in beta. PulseAudio works much better.
[04:27] <dr_willis> hml,  proberly..  If you got a fast connection and dont mind updates every day.. go with 8.10 -
[04:27] <thiebaude> eitreach:I agree
[04:27] <yoyoned> ajhtiredwolf: try http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=2&url=http%3A%2F%2Fubuntuforums.org%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D40543&ei=1Kj6SLzKNpDs1gbv4qgi&usg=AFQjCNFgZ9qhbx85JTVNWXQ5KYgp6um0Nw&sig2=BqqvpQ77RpMT2jMKB48EeA
[04:27] <dr_willis> hml,  seems im getting 200+mb of updates every day for the last 2 days.
[04:27] <hml> i'm a grad student w/ fast internet connection and too much free time
 ronzilla_: you need to get the package nvidia-settings
[04:27] <eitreach> Ibex is going to be a killer release - but that's offtopic.
[04:27] <ronzilla_> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[04:27] <ronzilla_> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[04:27] <thiebaude> me too, dr_willis
[04:28] <yoyoned> ronzilla using sudo?
[04:28] <eitreach> hml: hop on 8.10 then - it feels extremely solid already, and it has some nice features and rather nice hardware support - and PA works wonderfully, as mentioned.
[04:28] <angusthefuzz> ronzilla_: close synaptic
[04:28] <scunizi> ronzilla_, you have another program open that's using apt. like synaptic? add/remove?
[04:28] <thiebaude> i like the new search in synaptic
[04:28] <eitreach> and tabs in nautilus..
[04:29] <nowimproved> By the way, does this mean anything to anybody, [libslab_get_gconf_value: error getting /desktop/gnome/applications/main-menu/lock-down/user_modifiable_apps]
[04:29] <nathan_> Do you know if 8.10 has any better support for Atheros Wireless Cards?
[04:29] <ajhtiredwolf> yoyoned, has a good idea but no explenation >_<
[04:29] <ronzilla_> yeah that was it lol thanks
[04:29] <ronzilla_> ok thats installed
[04:29] <scunizi> nathan-_, might ... there is a new atheros linux driver released...
[04:29] <MisterTaco> I get wacky characters in aptitude menu and my keyboard gets squirrely in VMWare, is there a setting I should be changing or something?
[04:29] <eitreach> nathan: I haven't tried, but wireless is a rather hyped feature - it should work better than in 8.04 in all cases.
[04:30] <MisterTaco> Like switching some encoding or what not?
[04:30] <nathan_> eitreach : : I heard, but I wasn't sure if it was included in the kernel yet
[04:31] <nathan_> Oops meant scunizi
[04:31] <scunizi> MisterTaco, you may be talking about two different things .. in vmware you have to install vmware tools to get better mouse/keyboard support.
[04:31] <scunizi> nathan_, not sure but my bet is it will be.
[04:32] <eitreach> nathan-: best place to ask is #ubuntu+1
[04:32] <nathan_> Ok think I will thanks
[04:32] <jonaskoelker> hi all.  Kernel 2.6.24-21 seems to have no ipw2200 firmware for my Intel 2915 ABG card.  Where can I find that?
[04:33] <RoadHazard> I know this room is gnomish by nature, but maybe you can answer this, what is the kde app for burning an iso?
[04:33] <jonaskoelker> [taking a step back: my wireless nic fails to work with 2.6.24-21; it works with -18; /lib/firmware/2.6.24*18/.../ipw2200* exists, /lib/firmware/2.6.24*21/.../ipw2200* doesn't]
[04:33] <jonaskoelker> RoadHazard: k3b
[04:33] <angusthefuzz> RoadHazard: k3b
[04:33] <CapTech> 'lo, cooldude13233
[04:33] <ronzilla_> guys, again thanks for your help...its working now :D
[04:33] <RoadHazard> thankie
[04:33] <cjs> Hm. So sound playback works (simultaneously through the speakers plugged into the back output and the headphones plugged into the front output), but recording (through a mic plugged into the front input on my case) doesn't work. thoughts?
[04:33] <jonaskoelker> RoadHazard: welcomie :)
[04:34] <cjs> (Yes, I checked the mic. switch.)
[04:34] <Lordcorm> ugh, anyone know if 8.10 is going to fix some of the sound issues with the Intel HDA chip?
[04:34] <Dalem50> Does anyone know how to fix a problem I have? Ubuntu isn't booting, it keeps on saying the hard drive corrupted
[04:34] <RoadHazard> does the mic work plugged in the back of the machine?
[04:34] <jonaskoelker> Dalem50: do you have a live CD?
[04:34] <cjs> How do I even test the mic? The "Sound capture" section of "Sound Preferences" seems, odd...
[04:35] <CineScope> is there anyway to control a laptops fan with ubuntu? it runs all the time now, much louder than vista.
[04:35] <Dalem50> jonaskoelker:Not with me, no, but I do have a USB flash drive with Ubuntu what's bootable
[04:35] <usser> CineScope, yes sure what kind of cpu u have?
[04:35] <jonaskoelker> Dalem50: so you have a LiveStick? ;)
[04:35] <usser> CineScope, can you post the contents of cat /proc/cpuinfo command?
[04:35] <CapTech> I'm not sure about the rest of you all, but I had nothing but problems on 8.04 with Pulse, I switched to OSS mode, and it works perfect.
[04:36] <RoadHazard> cjs: might try installing audacity and trying a mic recording
[04:36] <CineScope> intel p8600
[04:36] <Dalem50> jonaskoelker: I guess you could call it that. What I need to do is try to fix the partition because it won't boot. Vista on the other-hand works still.
[04:36] <dr_willis> CapTech,  havent had any sound issues at all..  But i hear it can depend on your sound card a great deal
[04:36] <usser> CineScope, right can open terminal and type sudo modprobe p4-clockmod
[04:36] <usser> CineScope, what does it say?
[04:37] <CapTech> Yeah, I have the nvidia board with the built in sound... I need to get a sound card, just too cheap to do it.
[04:37] <CapTech> LOL.
[04:37] <Anza> how can I delete an user and leave only mine working?
[04:37] <newguy> okay guys. im trying to install xubuntu and the when i get to the formatting part it freezes. i know its not an "ubuntu specific" question but i figured it'd be close
[04:37] <newguy> any ideas?
[04:38] <CineScope> sudo modprobe p4-clockmod
[04:38]  * CapTech runs xubuntu.
[04:38] <jonaskoelker> Dalem50: what do you know works / is correctly structured?  The partition?  The file system(s)?  The boot sector?
[04:38] <CineScope> FATAL: Module p4_clockmod not found.
[04:38] <CapTech> newguy: What are you trying to format it as?
[04:38] <newguy> if anyone needs me to elaborate i can
[04:38] <CapTech> newguy: Please do.
[04:38] <thiebaude> newguy:how much memory does your computer have?
[04:38] <Dalem50> jonaskoelker: GRUB is working, but when I select Ubuntu, it loads, except it has a kernel panic when it's running bottom
[04:39] <usser> CineScope, right how about sudo modprobe speedstep-centrino
[04:39] <RoadHazard> anza: deluser username
[04:39] <Dalem50> jonaskoelker: Everything else is perfectly intact. That's why it's possible that I'm running Vista right now, on the same exact computer.
[04:39] <RoadHazard> anza err, sudo deluser username
[04:39] <CineScope> FATAL: Module speedstep_centrino not found.
[04:39] <cjs> RoadHazard, actually, I just tried it with the built-in Sound Recorder application, and it didn't work; will Audacity make a difference?
[04:40] <jonaskoelker> Dalem50: "That's why it's possible that I'm running Vista" --- it could be that the file system that houses your linux install was corrupted, which wouldn't affect Vista
[04:40] <maskros> Question: Wanna replace a Windows Server with a Linux dist. I actually only run Win for the Microsoft SQL Server which is needed for the one app we use on same server. But can I run Microsoft SQL Server in a Linux dist? Want to get away from the costly Win license..
[04:40] <thiebaude> newguy:are you dual-booting?
[04:40] <RoadHazard> cjs: did you try in the back of the machine?
[04:40] <jonaskoelker> Dalem50: what's the kernel panic message?
[04:40] <cjs> RoadHazard, yes, same result.
[04:40] <scunizi> cjs, are you running Hardy?  if so open a terminal and type .. killall pulseaudio .. then try again to record
[04:41] <RoadHazard> cjs: but it is making sound, sounds like the mic is muted in software somewhere
[04:41] <Dalem50> jonaskoelker: I don't remember exactly, except all I know is that it doesn't boot. Do you think I should run fsck from my "LiveStick"?
[04:41] <usser> CineScope, hm thats weird
[04:41] <PovAddict> maskros: I'd think SQL Server is quite tied to Windows features (in such a way that wouldn't run on Wine)
[04:41] <Anza> RoadHazard, I did it, and it says in the terminal its done, but the folder is still there
[04:41] <cjs> maskros, No, you cannot run SQL server on Linux. I know a lot about this sort of database stuff, though; /m me or let's find a channel where it wont' be off topic if you want to chat about it.
[04:41] <CineScope> usser: according to powertop it is running at 800Mhz 98.5% of the time  but the fan is still running
[04:41] <cjs> I did find it off on the mixer a while back, but that's now fixed.
[04:41] <RoadHazard> anza: sudo rm -R /home/username
[04:41] <cjs> I've got line-in and mic-in both full up and unmuted.
[04:42] <csilk> is there a standard ubuntu opengl packacge?
[04:42] <csilk> *package
[04:42] <jonaskoelker> Dalem50: I don't think there are any indicators for fsck.  Could you run Linux and post the panic message in a pastebin?
[04:43] <scunizi> csilk, you mean an opengl video driver.. generic?
[04:43] <Dalem50> jonaskoelker: Allright, I guess I could do that. Let me check with other people to see what else I can doo.
[04:43] <Anza> RoadHazard, lovely! its gone... Thank you. Do you know about a very good guide to install Age of empires III on ubuntu? I tried once but it didnt work, so I am dling a new torrent with the game and plan to try again
[04:43] <usser> CineScope, thats weird so it does scale? can u double check that by adding a cpu scaling applet to your panel and see if it lists different available frequencies
[04:43] <RoadHazard> anza: www.winehq.org
[04:43] <cjs> RoadHazard: Or I'm recording from something other than the mic. I've tried the various other inputs also available in Sound Recorder.
[04:43] <csilk> scunizi,  configure: error: this package requires OpenGL library
[04:43] <ubuntu_todd> how to get the bluetooth information?   Do they all panic?
[04:44] <CineScope> usser, yep running at 800
[04:44] <jonaskoelker> Dalem50: it may be useful for those helping you to see your grub config files
[04:44] <Dalem50> jonaskoelker: Correct, they all panic
[04:44] <csilk> scunizi,  yeah i was hoping it wouldnt be video card specific, that pretty much makes it impossible to package this software
[04:44] <Anza> PovAddict, Thanks for the advise
[04:45] <cjs> Well, I give up; I'll get my sysadmin to look at it another day. *Sigh*.
[04:45] <scunizi> csilk, so what kind of card?
[04:45] <usser> CineScope, when u click on it does it list other available frequencies
[04:45] <PovAddict> Anza: check Wine appdb
[04:45] <Dalem50> jonaskoelker: I'm pretty sure it's not the grub configuration files, I think it's the partition and it has bad blocks for some unknown reason.
[04:45] <shoryuken> how do i remove firefox completely, as if it was never on here?
[04:45] <PovAddict> Anza: it lists reports by user saying if apps work or not
[04:45] <daleach> I have no sound, not since I reinstalled with hardy, any ideas, I tried sudo alsa force-reload but didn't seem to help.
[04:45] <jonaskoelker> Dalem50: have you shuffled any of the disks around [i.e. moved the IDE cables between them, added some or remove some]?
[04:45] <csilk> scunizi,  i have radeon 2400 hd
[04:45] <jonaskoelker> Dalem50: why do you think it's bad blocks?
[04:46] <CineScope> usser, yes - 800, 1600, 2400
[04:46] <shoryuken> how do i remove firefox completely, as if it was never on here?
[04:46] <dr_willis> shoryuken,  remove the package with the purge option.. but that will NOT remove the users  settings for firefox.
[04:46] <shoryuken> dr_willis: how do i purge?
[04:46] <Relegated> Would anyone be able to help me get Counter Strike: Source sound working in Intrepid Ibex?
[04:46] <CineScope> usser, switched it to performance and shot to 2400 but the fan speed stayed the same
[04:46] <Dalem50> jonaskoelker: I remember running fsck earlier before this. There were some errors, and I hit y. No, I had not moved the hard drive around, or that would have affected Vista as well.
[04:46] <CapTech> shoryuken: Do you also use Thunderbird?
[04:47] <shoryuken> CapTech: no
[04:47] <dr_willis> shoryuken,  the pakage manger has buttons/options for it i think.. or sudo apt-get remove --purge Packagename
[04:47] <CapTech> shoryuken: Try: sudo apt-get purge firefox && rm -Rf ~/.firefox ~/.mozilla
[04:47] <MTecknology> for i in /home/*; do rm -R $i/.mozilla; done
[04:47] <PovAddict> Anza: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3795
[04:47] <thiebaude> !rm
[04:47] <jonaskoelker> Dalem50: so fsck said something about bad blocks?
[04:47] <RoadHazard> Relegated: check if it works on www.winehq.org in the appdb section
[04:47] <CineScope> usser, just wasn't sure if there was anyway to say don't run the fan so much
[04:47] <usser> CineScope, hm that is really strange. do you have all acpi modules installed sudo apt-get install acpi acpid acpi-support
[04:47] <Dalem50> jonaskoelker: Yes, fsck did.
[04:47] <dr_willis> removing the users settings for 'firefox' is a bit of a different problem :)
[04:47] <scunizi> csilk, kinda sounds like you're compiling a program.. which I don't do yet.. however the packages from a correctly installed driver for your radeon might allow you to do what you need.. unfortunatly I'm running nvidia and not well versed in ATI..
[04:48] <newguy> CapTech,  sorry i got sidetracked im at a wedding. it freezes before openening partition manager and same with gparted. it says its in read only mode
[04:48] <jonaskoelker> Dalem50: Do you remember what?  Can you perhaps find out the exact message with a bit of help from google?
[04:48] <brando1> i'm trying to use samba for file sharing but i can't get root in the var/lib/samba/usershare file, what do i do?
[04:48] <usser> CineScope, no it should just spin slower if cpu scales down
[04:48] <Dalem50> jonaskoelker: Be a bit more specfic.
[04:48] <CapTech> newguy: You mean, it is doing that on install?
[04:48] <CineScope> usser, all three are installed.
[04:48] <newguy> CapTech,  install and gparted
[04:48] <shoryuken> alright awesome, thanks
[04:49] <dr_willis> brando1,  what are you trying to do exactly? i dont rember ever needing to mess with /var/lib/samba/ANYTHING  befor.
[04:49] <usser> CineScope, im sorry i dont what the problem is
[04:49] <jonaskoelker> Dalem50: you said fsck said something about bad blocks.  What did it say, exactly?  [See above message from me]
[04:49] <RoadHazard> bleh, 2 hours to download hardy
[04:49] <CineScope> usser, thanks for the assist anyway
[04:49] <brando1> im just trying to create a shared folder but I keep getting an error because i cant write to that folder, so i need to get wrote to change permissions but i dont know how
[04:50] <Dalem50> jonaskoelker: All I remember was a LOT of error messages, so that doesn't really help.
[04:50] <jonaskoelker> I see
[04:50] <brando1> *root not wrote
[04:50] <Relegated> RoadHazard, It has to do with Pulse Audio
[04:50] <newguy> CapTech,  any ideas
[04:50] <Dalem50> jonaskoelker: How about a fresh install of 8.10? I can deal with formatting it.
[04:50] <Relegated> Some have gotten it to work but I duno
[04:50] <Relegated> It would be the same issue in hardy
[04:50] <Josdell> Hey everybody, I just installed mupen64, and some random parts on object are weird colors or black, like all the butts of characters are black lol, any help is appreciated :) btw, am i supposed to use different plugins?
[04:50] <CapTech> newguy: Have you ever installed ubuntu on this system before?
[04:51] <Dalem50> jonaskoelker: Though, I'd have to admit, it'd be much better if I could recover those files before formatting
[04:51] <scunizi> brando1, sudo chmod 777 <path/directory> .. for universal access
[04:51] <newguy> CapTech,  nope its for a friend
[04:51] <ronzilla> !vmware
[04:51] <CapTech> newguy: Someone else asked, how much RAM is on the system?
[04:51] <brando1> scunizi, thanks
[04:51] <jonaskoelker> Dalem50: what file system are you using on the linux partition? you only have one, correct?
[04:51] <scunizi> ronzilla, do you have vmware installed? or just interested?
[04:51] <ronzilla> !virtualizers
[04:52] <newguy> CapTech,  how do i check?
[04:52] <scunizi> brando1, np
[04:52] <Dalem50> jonaskoelker: I'm pretty sure I was using ext3
[04:52] <ronzilla> !wine
[04:52] <CapTech> newguy: Are you able to get to a command line?
[04:52] <nathan-_> how would I do ssh tunnels from multiple ports on the client to multiple servers, where the servers had the same ports in use, simultaneously?
[04:52] <MTecknology> ronzilla: I use virtualbox - high performance
[04:52] <ronzilla> im every interested actually
[04:52] <Dalem50> !mbr
[04:52] <newguy> CapTech,  ive got terminal open
[04:52] <ronzilla> basically, i dont know much about it
[04:52] <CapTech> newguy: Type: free
[04:53] <ronzilla> I am hoping to run my windows partition from within ubuntu
[04:53] <Dalem50> !bootcamp
[04:53] <ronzilla> only because i have some work related apps that i need to run
[04:53] <shishio> hi guys, i got a noob question. how do i set a process to a very high priority through terminal?
[04:53] <PovAddict> ronzilla: don't

[04:53] <Omoikane> Alright, I want to try and tackle this one again. Every time I boot up my Kubuntu computer the login flash screen loads and I type in the correct password only to have it blink for a moment and reload the login flash screen, over and over. I have no idea why it's doing this and really need to get access to this computer.
[04:53] <nathan-_> shishio: nice
[04:53] <ronzilla> what do you recommend?
[04:53] <PovAddict> ronzilla: don't run a whole Windows partition in a virtual machine (even less in Wine)
[04:53] <yoyoned> shishio: man nice
[04:54] <PovAddict> if you have to use a Windows app, copy that into your Linux system, and run it on Wine
[04:54] <RoadHazard> Omoikane: youre entering username then password right?
[04:54] <shishio> nathan : u know ?
[04:54] <scunizi> ronzilla, virtualbox is good but get it from their site if you're going to install.. also vmware is good but there are 2 versions.. 1.x.x and 2.x.x beta.. I've used both and prefer 2.x.x because it gives me access to the vm from any other machine without having to install anything else on the other machines..
[04:54] <nathan-_> shishio: nice
[04:54] <PovAddict> if you have to use a whole Windows system, install it from scratch on a VM (like virtualbox)
[04:54] <shishio> >"<
[04:54] <brando1> Ok, I tried "sudo chmod 777 var/lib/samba/usershare" and it said no such path, what am i missing?
[04:54] <jonaskoelker> Dalem50: there's an ext2 driver for windows.  You can use that to recover the files.  Or you can boot your LiveStick and access the file system.
[04:54] <MTecknology> ronzilla: first try wine - then go with virtualbox
[04:54] <ronzilla> alright, I'll try
[04:54] <nathan-_> shishio: nice is what sets process priority
[04:54] <jonaskoelker> Dalem50: that is, if you can mount the file system.  If not, maybe testdisk can help
[04:55] <ronzilla> !wine
[04:55] <Omoikane> Roadhazard, yes. Both are correct. In fact I can login via ctrl+alt+f1 command line and was able to ssh into it.
[04:55] <ronzilla> !virtualbox
[04:55] <CapTech> newguy: Have you tried to verify the install disk is good?
[04:55] <Dalem50> jonaskoelker: Thanks, I'll look into it
[04:55] <newguy> CapTech,  yeah
[04:55] <shishio> nathan: ok how to set up the nice?
[04:55] <BlackGA> Can anyone help me installing ATI drivers? I have tried, and tried...
[04:55] <CapTech> newguy: Do you have a regular Ubuntu install disk?
[04:55] <RoadHazard> BlackGA: Tried envy?
[04:56] <ronzilla> see what i would like to run is a program that requires SYbase and MS SQL server
[04:56] <newguy> CapTech,  just the live cd one. think thats the issue?
[04:56] <lancerocke> hi all
[04:56] <jonaskoelker> Dalem50: yw
[04:56] <ronzilla> can wine do that?
[04:56] <csilk> BlackGA,
[04:56] <Omoikane> Roadhazard so you can see my confusion. I was thinking it might be an xserver issue.
[04:56] <CapTech> newguy: As far as I'm aware, the live CD's are install CDs.
[04:56] <csilk> BlackGA, i run ati, what card you got?
[04:56] <BlackGA> Yeah. When I used Envy, it gave a blank screen on reboot, and could not access anything.
[04:56] <PovAddict> ronzilla: search the appdb to see if those programs are supported
[04:56] <BlackGA> I have an older 9200SE.
[04:56] <RoadHazard> Omoikane: yes I see, this is local xserver or remote?
[04:56] <PovAddict> ronzilla: I quite doubt it :)
[04:57] <Omoikane> roadhazard local.
[04:57] <csilk> BlackGA,  I'm assuming ubuntu didnt find the driver for you then?
[04:57] <ronzilla> yeah its an inhouse application (Thomson ONE) and (baseline)
[04:57] <newguy> CapTech,  yeah i meant the "alternative" disk
[04:57] <BlackGA> I don't think so, how would I be able to find out if it did?
[04:57] <CapTech> newguy: I'd recommend trying to install Ubuntu, and if it installs successfully, installing xubuntu-desktop
[04:58] <csilk> BlackGA,  ahh, it appears the driver i was going to link you to only supports as far back as the radeon 9500
[04:58] <csilk> sorry
[04:58] <ronzilla> maybe the best thing to do is just set up a seperate box for it lol
[04:58] <shishio> nathan : ok, how will i set up a nice value on a program run by wine?
[04:58] <ronzilla> and remote in
[04:58] <shishio> anyone know how will i set up a nice value on a program run by wine?
[04:59] <PovAddict> shishio: nice wine program.exe
[04:59] <lancerocke> im having an issue with one of my HDDs automounting with ntfs configuration tool. when i open ntfs configuration tool and check the hdd i get an error message saying http://www.imagebam.com/image/ccfd1c16147666 "An error occured when trying to configure /media/298GB Music, please retry. Thanks
[04:59] <shishio> PovAddict: no sudo?
[04:59] <CoRnJuLiOx> just exactly how accurate is Ubuntu's laptop battery power meter? it says i've got an hour and 40 minutes of charge on this battery
[04:59] <PovAddict> why would you want to run it as root?
[04:59] <CapTech> lancerocke: Are you using ntfs-3g?
[04:59] <newguy> CapTech,  so theres no way to get it to work?
[04:59] <CoRnJuLiOx> i could easily get 2+ hours out of this on windows
[05:00] <lancerocke> CapTech: yes
[05:00] <CapTech> newguy: Without being able to see exactly what it's doing, I'm not sure what to advise you.
[05:00] <BlackGA> I found xorg-driver-fglrx, and installed it, but I can't get aticonfig to run.
[05:00] <shishio> PovAddict: justin case
[05:00] <secret901> I'm using a Dell laptop with volume control but the volume buttons don't work in Gnome.  They don't change the volume even though it shows that the volume is up or down.
[05:00] <PovAddict> ...
[05:00] <csilk> BlackGA,  that dirver doesnt support anything before the 9500
[05:00] <Dalem50> jonaskoelker: Aw, thanks, it's working! I installed ext2IFS, it works fine :D
[05:00] <PovAddict> "just in case" you run it with full privileges over your computer?
[05:00] <brando1> ok im trying to get root access to a file and it says that i can't since im the owner, i tried sudo chmod 777 and no luck, now what?
[05:01] <newguy> CapTech,  when its detecting filesystem it just stays thinking. doesnt setect any hdd
[05:01] <RoadHazard> brando sudo chown root /path
[05:01] <maskros> Ron: I just wanna run an application that requires MSSQL.. Let us hope there's a way to do it without the need for Windows as it is what I wanna get out from..
[05:01] <brando1> ty
[05:01] <truebosko> I removed kde from my package manager but now my Ubuntu update manager wants me to install 200+ kde related packages
[05:01] <BlackGA> This is taken from the Synaptic Package Manager... This version of the ATI driver officially supports:
[05:01] <BlackGA>  * RADEON X1300, X1600, X1800, X1900
[05:01] <BlackGA>  * RADEON 8500, 9000, 9100, 9200, 9500, 9550, 9600, 9700, 9800
[05:01] <BlackGA> I'm not saying your wrong, but are you sure this doesn't???
[05:01] <FloodBot2> BlackGA: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:01] <truebosko> Any idea how I can prevent this? I use Gnome
[05:01] <nathan-_> shishio: have you tried RTFM?
[05:01] <PovAddict> maskros: Microsoft lock-in doing its job
[05:01] <CapTech> newguy: Unfortunately, I've not seen that error before.  You might try googling the exact error message.
[05:02] <shishio> PovAddict: ya
[05:02] <ronzilla> is virtualbox only going to utilize one CPU in a duo core?
[05:02] <CapTech> lancerocke: When you first installed it, what permissions did you give your NTFS volumes?
[05:02] <shishio> nathan: hmmm nope
[05:02] <csilk> BlackGA,   http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/xorg-driver-fglrx
[05:02] <brando1> ok what is the exact syntax for the file path b/c it keeps saying cannot find
[05:02] <newguy> CapTech,  thats the problem there is no error. it just sops working
[05:02] <nathan-_> !RTFM
[05:02] <dr_willis> ronzilla,  virtualbox with linux hers. shows a dualcore cpu
[05:02] <jonaskoelker> Dalem50: cool :)
[05:02] <brando1> i put "sudo chown root /var/lib/samba/usershare
[05:02] <nathan-_> lol
[05:02] <shishio> PovAddict: cozim having trouble with some programs in wine end up crashing
[05:03] <CapTech> newguy: As in complete freeze, or can you still CTRL - C out?
[05:03] <nathan-_> noob is an acronym?
[05:03] <Anza> how do I delete files from the trash that couldnt be deleted normally? I mean, I click on: "empty deleted items" but doesnt work
[05:03] <RoadHazard> brando1: yes
[05:03] <dr_willis> Acronyms or statements
[05:03] <newguy> i can still ctrl- c out
[05:03] <brando1> so that should work?
[05:03] <nathan-_> ah
[05:03] <jonaskoelker> Dalem50: I think it's best if you only read from the fs, not write, since ext2ifs probably doesn't know about the ext3 features... but that's your plan anyways, right?
[05:03] <nathan-_> skim reading
[05:03] <n8tuser> Anza be as root with sudo then delete the files you wanted
[05:03] <lancerocke> CapTech: i didnt touch them. i didnt give tthem any permissions manually. i installed ntfs-3g and it took care of automounting them. i can mount the one that is having the ntfs-3g issue when i click on it in nautilus. when i mounted it the very first time i had to put my admin password in
[05:04] <Dalem50> jonaskoelker: Erm, sort've, just copy some important stuff. The main goal was to get it to boot though xD
[05:04] <RoadHazard> brando1: then sudo chmod 777 /path
[05:04] <CapTech> lancerocke: Odd.
[05:04] <jonaskoelker> of course :)
[05:04] <newlife> I'am trying to learn how to use the "Terminal" and ran following command - " sudo apt-get install astronomical-almanac " - So I do not really want this installed - What command would I use to " Uninstall " this ? ? ?
[05:04] <RoadHazard> then sudo chown username /path
[05:04] <Anza> n8tuser, sudo nautilus?
[05:04] <ronzilla> oh wow
[05:04] <ronzilla> this is niiiiiiiice
[05:04] <brando1> ok i figured it out thanks all
[05:04] <ronzilla> brb reboot
[05:04] <CapTech> newguy: Hmmm.  I'm not sure what to suggest.
[05:05] <scunizi> newlife, sudo apt-get purge astroxxxxxxxx
[05:05] <lancerocke> CapTech: http://www.imagebam.com/image/6e50f116147805
[05:05] <Dalem50> jonaskoelker: Great, some files aren't opening, at least I got what I needed onto my Vista partiton :-/
[05:05] <newlife> scunizi: Thank you - off I go .......
[05:05] <CapTech> lancerocke: Ewww, tiny drives.  LOL.
[05:06] <jonaskoelker> hm...
[05:06] <jonaskoelker> interesting
[05:06] <brando1> damn, ok i got root and then i went to share again and i got this error... "net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID. The connection was refused. Maybe smbd is not running."
[05:06] <CapTech> lancerocke: I'm not seeing anything there that suggests an error.  What am I looking for on that screenshot?
[05:06] <scunizi> newlife, also  you can always "man <name>"  like man apt-get
[05:06] <Anza> it says the folder cannot be displayed when using sudo nautilus
[05:06] <Oni_of_z_AsH> Hi guys! Got a very urgent question to ask..Please help me..Iv installed PCSX2 in ubuntu..Iv configured it as well..But when a insert a dvd..and click on run cd, nothing happens..am i missing something?? Please help me guys..
[05:07] <scunizi> Anza, you should use gksudo nautilus..
[05:07] <lancerocke> CapTech: just the fact that i have 2 ntfs volumes named 298GB Music that were named that way via Winblows.
[05:07] <lancerocke> CapTech: may tha tbe the issue?
[05:07] <bobertdos> Anza: and also, directly address the person you're talking to
[05:07] <dr_willis> Oni_of_z_AsH,  best thing to do would be to find the pcsx2 web site and see what docs/guides they got. YOu may need to enable some plugin, or set the settings to find the cd
[05:07] <CapTech> lancerocke: Shoulding be.  Ubuntu uses the UUID.
[05:07] <CapTech> lancerocke: Those are unique.
[05:07] <lancerocke> Captech: linux gave one of them an underscore. 298GB Music_ and 298GB Music
[05:07] <lancerocke> i see
[05:07] <CapTech> Oops, shouldn't be.
[05:07] <CapTech> LOL.
[05:07] <Anza> scunizi, same: "the folder contents could not be displayed"
[05:08] <CapTech> What's your /etc/fstab show for those two?
[05:08] <lancerocke> Captech: what might be the issue then?
[05:08] <unop> CapTech, the UUID isn't always used
[05:08] <Oni_of_z_AsH> ok thanks man!
[05:08] <CapTech> unop: Yeah, I just thought about that too.
[05:08] <dr_willis> lancerocke,  ive seen where if it automounts  and dosent unmount/remopve the /media/whatever dir..next time it automounts it adds a _
[05:08] <unop> CapTech, especially when mounting volumes
[05:08] <dr_willis> lancerocke,  you can unmount the thing and remove the redundant directories in /media is what i had to do
[05:08]  * CapTech pulls out his gun, and shoots Billy Gates in da head.
[05:09] <secret9011> My volume control buttons stopped working in Gnome even though the volume control in the applet panel still works.  When I press on the buttons they act as if it's working but the volume doesn't change.
[05:09]  * unop will bet windows did not give the volume that label
[05:09] <CapTech> lancerocke: Yeah, that sounds reasonable.  I've never had the issue.  I only have one NTFS volume on my 'puter.
[05:09] <bobertdos> Anza: What are you attempting to do?
[05:09] <lancerocke> kk
[05:09] <lancerocke> thanks guys
[05:10] <CapTech> Thank dr_willis.  :)
[05:10] <Anza> bobertdos, its just that it was weird I tried to empty the trash but it didnt work
[05:10] <angusthefuzz> secret9011: your buttons are probably mapped to a volume control that has no effect on your sound, for example your buttons might control master mono, but you want them to control PCM
[05:10] <bobertdos> Anza: You've already tried via the terminal, I assume?
[05:11] <secret9011> angusthefuzz: how do I map it to what I want?
[05:11] <Anza> bobertdos, yes, gksudo nautilus, and it says "the folder contents couldnt be displayed
[05:12] <angusthefuzz> secret9011: its been so long, i have no idea, i just thought I would explain the problem, im sure someone here can help you
[05:12] <unop> Anza, you could use this.   sudo rm -r ~/.local/share/Trash/*
[05:13] <bobertdos> Anza: Actually, I'd just do it from the terminal, personally. cd into .local/share/Trash and then rm -rf *
[05:13] <newlife> Is there another good command line terminal app - other than the stock one that comes with Gnome Hardy Heron ? ?
[05:13] <angusthefuzz> secret9011: nevermind, i found it: System->Preferences->Sound->Default mixer tracks - This is where you can select what setting(s) the volume keys should control in Gnome.
[05:13] <CapTech> newlife: You might try konsole
[05:13] <angusthefuzz> secret9011: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=82733
[05:13] <CapTech> newlife: It's KDE's terminal app.
[05:14] <unop> newlife, there are plenty - rxvt, urxvt, xterm, eterm, etc
[05:14] <newlife> CapTech: Is that designed to run better on KDE desktop or will it work well with Gnome ?
[05:15] <CapTech> newlife: To run better, yes, however it will work with Gnome.  apt-get will install the absolute dependencies to get it working.
[05:15] <unop> newlife, it will work on gnome - but it's a bit of overkill
[05:15] <secret9011> angusthefuzz: what do I set it to?
[05:15] <newlife> unop: Which of the one's you listed is best suited to run under Gnome?
[05:15] <CapTech> unop: Depends on what he wants it to do.
[05:15] <ronzilla> how can i save my dual screen settings to set on reboot.  I had to re-enable it
[05:15] <Anza> unop, bobertdos: unop thing in the terminal worked, thank you guys.
[05:16] <unop> newlife, all of them work - they don't depend on gnome or KDE - they are general X applications
[05:16] <angusthefuzz> secret9011: you will need to experiment, its different for different setups, just play in the mixer with some sound playing and see which slider makes the sound louder
[05:16] <scunizi> newlife, gksudo nautilus then ctrl+h to make hidden directories visable.. or applications/accessories/terminal.. konsole and terminal are pretty much the same..
[05:16] <unop> newlife, I prefer urxvt (rxvt-unicode)
[05:16] <angusthefuzz> ronzilla: the nvidia-settings has a save X config button
[05:17] <ronzilla> Unable to create new X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'.
[05:17] <newlife> unop: Ahh ... becoming clearer now - thx - Is there one you are privy to over another?
[05:17] <chrisbrl88> hey... I need to know how to apply a single shell command to all subdirectories of a given directory
[05:17] <scunizi> ronzilla, you have to run nvidia-settings as root to save.. start it from terminal with sudo nvidia-settings
[05:17] <angusthefuzz> ronzilla: I found that i needed to save the xorg config that nvidia-settings makes and overwrite the default myself
[05:18] <CapTech> newlife: That's totally subjective.
[05:18] <secret9011> angusthefuzz: great, now it works, but the volume manager in the applet panel stopped working
[05:18] <secret9011> angusthefuzz: how do I fix that?
[05:18] <ronzilla> gotcha
[05:18] <dr_willis> chrisbrl88,  creative use of the 'find' command is often used for that.
[05:18] <unop> newlife, yea, urxvt has support for unicode, transparency, search-back, tabs even and a few other interesting things - and it's lightweight (compared to the gnome-terminal)
[05:18] <CapTech> newlife: I was totally a Konsole guy for a long time, but terminal has grown on me.
[05:18] <bobertdos> chrisbrl88: Depending on the command, -r or -R arguments for recursion.
[05:18] <CapTech> newlife: What are you trying to accomplish that just isn't being met for you yet?
[05:18] <ronzilla> how do i mount newly added hardrives
[05:19] <chrisbrl88> I recently switched my webserver to ubuntu from slackware, but it messed up all the directory permissions... I need to chmod all the subdirectories but not the files in them...
[05:19] <angusthefuzz> secret9011: right click on the volume manager and change the preferences to point to the correct volume device
[05:19] <bobertdos> !mount | ronzilla
[05:19] <unop> chrisbrl88, find /someplace -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
[05:19] <xTheGoat121x> Hi everybody
[05:20] <secret9011> angusthefuzz: excellent, now they're synchronized
[05:20] <secret9011> thanks
[05:20] <angusthefuzz> secret9011: youre welcome
[05:20] <secret9011> angusthefuzz: what's the diff between master and PCM?
[05:21] <chrisbrl88> unop: missing argument to -exec
[05:21] <xTheGoat121x> I've noticed that my sound in Ubuntu is significantly lower than it is when I boot into Windows on the same hardware... the volume is all the way up -- I've checked every volume control I can think of.
[05:21] <ronzilla> ok so basically.  I unplugged 3 of my harddrives when doing the install for ubuntu and windows cause i was having an issue with selecting a primary HD to be used.     I haves on them that I dont want to loose they are all in NTFS format
[05:21] <urban_ryog1> Hi, is open office 3.0 in an official distro?
[05:21] <ronzilla> have files on them*
[05:21] <unop> chrisbrl88, you're probably missing something - show us the exact command you have.
[05:22] <newlife> CapTech: I came across a terminal app about year ago like the one "unop" mentioned with tabs - and it was very nice to use.
[05:22] <dr_willis> ronzilla,   basically you edit the fstab file and mount them to mountpoints you create.
[05:22] <CapTech> newlife: I just use the default term app in xubuntu, which works perfect for me.
[05:22] <dr_willis> ronzilla,   the 'ntfs-3g' docs/guides detail this. :)
[05:22] <devil> i try 8.10 beta but they have open office 2.4
[05:22] <CapTech> I wish I could move the tabs to the bottom, but it still works.
[05:23] <Anza> unop: now it seems empty but whem I pass the mouse by the icon it says there is 22 files there :S    I checked the option of show hidden files, but nothing!
[05:23] <chrisbrl88> unop: find /var/www/music -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \:
[05:23] <ronzilla> ug
[05:23] <ronzilla> i kinda wish i didnt bother to even partition this drive now
[05:24] <unop> chrisbrl88, the last thing is a semi-colon not a colon   i.e. \;  not \:
[05:24] <bobertdos> ronzilla: It's not so bad. After you make one fstab entry, it's almost copy and paste for the ohters.
[05:24] <bobertdos> *others
[05:24] <newlife> CapTech: I have used that I like it - But would like to try the " urxvt" as well possibly - have to check it out. Thanks
[05:25] <newlife> unop: Thanks for info on other terms out there as well.......
[05:25] <CapTech> newlife: Like I said, it's all subjective.  Everyone has different tastes.  The correct answer, is the one that fits your needs.
[05:25] <chrisbrl88> unop: awesome... thank you
[05:25] <ronzilla> bob, can you point me in the direction of learning about this?
[05:25] <Anza> bobertdos, now it seems empty but whem I pass the mouse by the icon it says there is 22 files there :S    I checked the option of show hidden files, but nothing!
[05:25] <ronzilla> nvm found it on the forums
[05:25] <unop> Anza,  what does   du -sh ~/.local/share/Trash   give you?
[05:25] <dr_willis> ronzilla,  learning how linux mounts filesystems.. is a must learn skill to increase your linux-karma level :)
[05:25] <ronzilla> haha
[05:26] <Anza> unop, 4.0K	/home/maro/.local/share/Trash
[05:26] <bobertdos> ronzilla: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab
[05:26] <unop> Anza,  hmm.  how about this?    find ~/.local/share/Trash/
[05:26] <ronzilla> i might want to wait till tomorrow when my rum and cokes wear off
[05:27] <ronzilla> rum + coke + linux = duh?!?!?!
[05:27] <Anza> unop, /home/maro/.local/share/Trash/
[05:27] <unop> Anza, sound like nautilus is giving you a false-positive - try restarting it perhaps?
[05:28] <newlife> CapTech: Well said - and at this point in time I'm searching & exploring - Like I was at one time trying to find a Linux distro that works best for me - Which at this point in time is Ubuntu - Hardy - Gnome - Hands down. Thanks for your comments I appreciate it.....
[05:28] <Anza> unop, ok, I will restart the system
[05:28] <unop> Anza, a logout should be enough
[05:28] <ronzilla> if i would of formatted and installed the drive while the others were plugged in would i have ran into this problem?
[05:29] <rdw200169> anyone in here using IPv6?
[05:29] <bobertdos> ronzilla: It is LIKELY that fstab entries would have been created for you, but oh well.
[05:29] <Parsonsyang> hi guys
[05:29] <ronzilla> or can i boot in windows to add them then reboot into linux to have a successful mount?
[05:30] <Tann> Hello
[05:30] <ronzilla> cause i dont mind reformatting cause im not to far into my configuration
[05:30] <unop> ronzilla, what are you trying to do?
[05:30] <Tann> I am working on building a computer, and I am wondering how well supported the NVIDIA chipsets are.
[05:30] <ronzilla> see hard drives that i had unplugged that have files on them
[05:31] <ronzilla> in NTFS format
[05:31] <bobertdos> ronzilla: You don't need to do that. Okay, obviously, you're not very comfortable, so we'll just talk you through this, k? :)
[05:31] <Tann> How well the NVIDIA chipsets are supported.**
[05:31] <ronzilla> sure thing
[05:31] <rdw200169> Tann: they're supported pretty well
[05:31] <Tann> rdw200169: Thanks.,
[05:31] <mikef> how can i burn an iso please <3
[05:31] <bobertdos> ronzilla: Go into a terminal and type sudo fdisk -l
[05:31] <memeemeee> i need help with fglrx!
[05:31] <rdw200169> Tann: what do you have?
[05:31] <nathan_> Tann not bad Envy does a good job
[05:32] <ronzilla> i dont want to format the disk though
[05:32] <scunizi> you won't
[05:32] <memeemeee> seriously or at least changing my xorg.conf file
[05:32] <rdw200169> Tann: 8.04 just upgraded the nvidia_new driver to 169...
[05:32] <GumBall> how can i burn an iso please =(
[05:32] <unop> ronzilla, that just lists partitions
[05:32] <rdw200169> Tann: so it should support the newer cards
[05:32] <Tann> rdw200169: ok, I was just wondering, because a mother board I am looking at has an NVIDIA chipset
[05:32] <nathan_> I Downloaded and used Envy on my Acer.
[05:33] <rdw200169> Tann: the Nvidia chipsets, compared to AMD, are MUCH better supported
[05:33] <GumBall> can somebody help me please x(
[05:33] <dr_willis> GumBall,  under ubuntu? just double clicking should launch the burner progra,m
[05:33] <nathan_> Tann : 8600 and below I'm pretty certain are no biggie
[05:33] <GumBall> double click the iso?
[05:33] <rdw200169> Tann: yeah, they're fine
[05:33] <ronzilla> ok i have the list
[05:33] <rdw200169> Tann: I'm using the Nvidia driver with dual monitors
[05:33] <Anza> unop, yes, I restarted and now it seems empty, weird shit... thanks
[05:33] <dr_willis> GumBall,  thats what i said. :)
[05:33] <rdw200169> Tann: and I'm not having any major difficulties
[05:34] <dr_willis> !burn
[05:34] <GumBall> nothing happens
[05:34] <GumBall> :(
[05:34] <rdw200169> Tann: with 8.10, there's supposed to be X autoconfiguration, so no more xorg.conf file mangling\
[05:34] <bobertdos> ronzilla: Okay, so take note of the device paths /dev/something of the ones that are NTFS
[05:34] <dr_willis> GumBall,  then try manually launching brasero perhaps.
[05:34] <Tann> rdw200169: ok. Thanks. I knew the NVIDIA graphics cards were supported, but I mean like the motherboard chipsets.
[05:34] <ronzilla>   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
[05:34] <ronzilla> /dev/sdb1               1       30515   245111706    7  HPFS/NTFS
[05:34] <unop> Anza, it's probably the fact that the deletions weren't registered with gvfs (which would happen if you deleted them via nautilus or such)
[05:34] <ronzilla>    Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
[05:34] <GumBall> bash: brasero: command not found
[05:34] <ronzilla> /dev/sdc1               1     1453518   732573040+   7  HPFS/NTFS
[05:34] <rdw200169> Tann: I'm talking about those too; I've got Nforce4 i think
[05:34] <GumBall> x(
[05:34] <unop> ronzilla, don't paste here
[05:34] <nathan_> Tann yeah. Most are
[05:35] <ronzilla> ok sorry
[05:35] <rdw200169> Tann; the Nforce chipsets should not be a big deal at all
[05:35] <dr_willis> GumBall,  perhaps install/try any of the following the bot said  gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast
[05:35] <unop> ronzilla, all you have to do is mount /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdc1 now
[05:35] <rdw200169> Tann: I've got the network ports working, audio, everything
[05:35] <GumBall> mm
[05:35] <dr_willis> GumBall,  i perfer k3b. but its a kde app.. 'sudo apt-get install k3b' and run with k3b
[05:35] <GumBall> i try apt-fet install k3b
[05:35] <GumBall> o
[05:35] <rdw200169> Tann: haven't tried SLI, though
[05:35] <GumBall> ye
[05:35] <GumBall> :D
[05:35] <FloodBot2> GumBall: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:36]  * GumBall bites FloodBot2
[05:36] <Anza> does anyone uses ManDvd? its not working well, when I click "generate video structure" it finishes it in about a minute and does nothing!
[05:36] <GumBall> dr_willis, yoo use kde? x)
[05:36] <nathan_> Tann: That Envy Program make it pretty easy if your not supported right out of the box.
[05:36] <Slack> Where does ubuntu store its iptables
[05:36] <Mikenolike> *cough* I am very stupid and need help with writing my xorg.conf file.  I have a Dell C840 and I have the sily black screen problem.  I already know the 2 lines I need to enter but whenever I try to save the file with the corrections it just says that the file/directory does not exist.
[05:36] <rdw200169> Slack: that depends
[05:36] <Slack> rdw200169: on
[05:36] <rdw200169> Slack: /usr/sbin/iptables
[05:37] <rdw200169> Slack: is the executable
[05:37] <rdw200169> Slack: but what firewall frontend do you want to use?
[05:37] <Tann> nathan_ and rdw200169: Thanks
[05:37] <rdw200169> Tann: no problem
[05:37] <scunizi> Mikenolike, gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to open the file and save successfully.
[05:37] <nathan_> Tann: No problem
[05:37] <dr_willis> GumBall,  some times.
[05:37] <Slack> rdw200169: if i use any, firestarter
[05:37] <rdw200169> Slack: then it stores the firewall in /etc/firestarter/
[05:37] <Mikenolike> ooo? seriously?  all the other things said sudo nano
[05:38] <bobertdos> ronzilla: and if you want them to automount, follow the fstab guide and add a couple lines like this: /dev/sdb1 /media/disk ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0 (media/dis) has to exist ahead of time)
[05:38] <rdw200169> Slack: but you shouldn'
[05:38] <Mikenolike> I cant even edit it in root (please dont yell at me for doing it in root)
[05:38] <GumBall> dr_willis, kay
[05:38] <rdw200169> Slack: t ever have to mess with those files; firestarter is pretty good at what it does!
[05:38] <scunizi> Mikenolike, if you only have a text based system then nano works too.. gedit is a gui app. either will work..
[05:38] <GumBall> im so loney
[05:38] <MisterTaco> Where do I set the 3-button mode and the scroll for my touch point now that xorg.conf is depricated?
[05:38] <nathan_> Tann: Do understand they aren't all supported right out of the box though...
[05:39] <Slack> rdw200169: sounds good, ill give it a shot, im using it to try to allow connections to my apache server
[05:39] <Mikenolike> I will probably ask for more help in like 20 seconds, this has been destroying me every time I try to use linix
[05:39] <rdw200169> Slack: shouldn't be a big deal at all; just look up how to allow incoming ports on the firestarter help website
[05:39] <Mikenolike> linux*
[05:39] <rdw200169> Slack; it's REALLY easy
[05:39] <Tann> nathan_: yes. I've worked with NVIDIA cards, I was just wondering about the motherboard chipsets.
[05:39] <nathan_> ok
[05:39] <scunizi> MisterTaco, you'd add the appropriate lines to xorg.conf.. I haven't heard that xorg is depriciated .. just that video isn't using it much unless you need to tweek it..
[05:40] <Slack> rdw200169: lol, thats what i hear, and also thats why im getting confused as to why it wont work
[05:40] <rdw200169> Slack: are you using it right now?  i can help
[05:40] <nathan_> just wasn't sure what your experience level is
[05:40] <rdw200169> Slack: do you have the gui application for firestarter open?
[05:40] <Slack> rdw200169: i do
[05:40] <rdw200169> Slack: and, are you behind a NAT network?
[05:40] <Slack> rdw200169: correct
[05:41] <rdw200169> Slack: do you have port forwarding from you router to your webserver enabled?
[05:41] <Slack> rdw200169: actually it might not be now
[05:41] <Anza> whats the difference between: sudo nautilus, and gksudo nautilus?
[05:41] <bobertdos> !gksudo | Anza
[05:41] <rdw200169> Anza: gksudo is a gtk frontend for sudo
[05:42] <Slack> rdw200169: how do i check if NAT is enables
[05:42] <Mikenolike> scunizi, same problem
[05:42] <rdw200169> Slack: what i mean is: are you behind a router
[05:42] <Slack> rdw200169: yes
[05:42] <rdw200169> Slack: so you're using a Linksys wireless router or something right?
[05:42] <Mikenolike> cant use graphical as the display is already fubar without the 2 lines
[05:42] <Slack> rdw200169: yezzir
[05:42] <scunizi> Mikenolike, when you open the file is there anything at all in it or is it totally blank?
[05:42] <nathan_> Hope everyone has a good night. er.. Morning.  Bye
[05:43] <rdw200169> Slack: what you need to do, then, is port forwarding in the router
[05:43] <Mikenolike> whenever i use text base it says it cant find the file/directory
[05:43] <Slack> rdw200169: somehow i cant seem to get access to my routers config page where all that stuff is
[05:43] <scunizi> Mikenolike, probably because what you're typing isn't correct.. tell me exactly what you're typing to open the file.
[05:44] <rdw200169> Slack: so you set up port forwarding for ports 80 and 443 (http and https) to the ip address you were assigned by the router
[05:44] <rdw200169> Slack: can you get into the configuration for the router, at least?
[05:44] <Mikenolike> when I am in root I use nano ect/x11/xorg.conf
[05:44] <Mikenolike> and it opens the file fine
[05:44] <Slack> rdw200169: no can do
[05:44] <mandark> hey i have just heard abt php nd i just wanted 2 know wats the differencxe between php and JSP
[05:44] <Slack> rdw200169: wouldnt it be the same thing if i did it from iptables
[05:44] <Mikenolike> whenever I go to save it gives me the error
[05:44] <rdw200169> Slack: well, that's gonna be your first step no matter what
[05:44] <ronzilla> im lost on this mounting thing
[05:45] <rdw200169> Slack; your webserver will never be visible to the real world until the port is forwarded to your webserver
[05:45] <rdw200169> Slack; otherwise, all that traffic stops at the router
[05:45] <bobertdos> ronzilla: In the terminal, type sudo nano /etc/fstab
[05:45] <rdw200169> Slack; the router doesn't know where to send it
[05:45] <Slack> rdw200169: ok, i gotchya
[05:46] <scunizi> Mikenolike, well.. if you're actually in a root account instead of using sudo or actually using sudo then there should be a / in front of etc.. and x11 is X11 (capitalized) as in ... nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:46] <ronzilla> ok then what
[05:46] <rdw200169> Slack; The router is performing NAT translation for you; from a real internet IP address (assigned by your ISP) to the local network; likely <IP_ADDRESS>/24
[05:46] <ronzilla> im not seeing the HD's listed
[05:46] <flourish> very sorry to ask such question here. i want to convert my ape audio files to flac format, but i can not find monkeys-audio, can some one help me
[05:46] <bruenig> hmm
[05:47] <flourish> my system is ubuntu 8.04 amd64
[05:47] <bruenig> flourish: you are using the 64 bit version?
[05:47] <rdw200169> Slack; how are you trying to access your router?
[05:47] <Slack> through the web browser
[05:47] <rdw200169> Slack; i.e. what are you typing in the address bar of your web browswer
[05:47] <flourish> bruenig:  yes
[05:47] <scunizi> Mikenolike, did that make a difference?
[05:47] <Mikenolike> scun, ill report back in like 2 mins with more failure.  I probably had it right for opening as it opened the file correctly, I just left those like that as I am unfamiliar with using text based editing
[05:48] <Slack> rdw200169: just got access nvm
[05:48] <Mikenolike> scunizi, this is the bane of my existance
[05:48] <rdw200169> Slack: excellent!
[05:48] <Slack> rdw200169: :D
[05:48] <bobertdos> ronzilla: PM me if you want. I can tell you're confused, so let's cut the noise.
[05:48] <Mikenolike> oooooook
[05:49] <TheMaverick`> free bruenig?
[05:49] <Slack> rdw200169: which, under the port forwarding tab, their already is a dyndns option
[05:49] <Mikenolike> if I use sudo nano /ect/X11/xorg.conf it opens a new file
[05:49] <bruenig> indeed
[05:49] <flourish> bruenig: Do you know where to find the package i need
[05:49] <Mikenolike> I want to stab my eyes out and just put windows back on
[05:49] <rdw200169> it should be a page that asks for port numbers and IP address
[05:49] <bruenig> flourish: no
[05:49] <flourish> bruenig: oh, thanks
[05:49] <scunizi> Mikenolike, you're typo-ing again.. not /ect but /etc
[05:50] <dr_willis> In Linux, Spelling counts..
[05:50] <dr_willis> :)
[05:50] <Mikenolike> etc? dear god
[05:50] <bruenig> dr_willis has been lowercased, he is no longer authoritative
[05:50] <dr_willis> dont forget Linux is Case Senesitive also.
[05:50] <scunizi> Mikenolike, welcome to symantics :)
[05:50] <TheMaverick`> dr_willis: lies...
[05:50] <TheMaverick`> OH SNAP!
[05:51] <Mikenolike> ok if this works ill put it in my hat of why linux is where it is today
[05:51] <GumBall> help
[05:51] <Caleb> help
[05:51] <Mikenolike> retards like me will never adopt if it takes all this to make your display work
[05:51] <GumBall> my cdr has ben erasin fer liek 20 mins pls
[05:51] <scunizi> Mikenolike, naw.. it's just getting use to it.. I remember pounding away at '80's DOS machines with just as much frustration. this is much more powerful..
[05:51] <flourish> can some one help me, I need the package monkeys-audio of ubuntu 8.04 amd64, but i cannot find it everywhere
[05:51] <Anza> Does anyone recommend a better app than ManDvd to make dvd movies?
[05:52] <Dr_WiLlIS> Mikenolike,  you dont want to get me started on some of the weirdness ive had to go through to get things working in windows befor.. :)
[05:52] <GumBall> ^
[05:52] <Dr_WiLlIS> Anza,  DeVeDe perhaps?
[05:52] <GumBall> Dr_WiLlIS, help me pls <3
[05:52] <Mikenolike> did you have to goto text editing to make it work?
[05:52] <scunizi> Mikenolike, just consider that the underlying system commands have been around much longer than windows and dos
[05:52] <Anza> Dr_WiLlIS, never heard about that
[05:53] <apathadeus> is someone being unhappy with ubuntu?
[05:53] <Mikenolike> overall I love it, its just a pain to make graphics work right
[05:53] <Dr_WiLlIS> GumBall,  what do you expect me to do about it?
[05:53] <csilk> Mikenolike,  for you maybe
[05:53] <Mikenolike> and yes, if the companies would play nice it would be a lot better
[05:53] <csilk> for me it worked out of the box
[05:53] <scunizi> Mikenolike, you use the arrow keys in nano to get to the area that you want to type and then just type.... when done ctrl+o then enter then ctrl+x enter to exit.
[05:53] <apathadeus> I switched from xp to ubuntu and I like it
[05:53] <Mikenolike> I do as well, thats why I am trying to make it work
[05:54] <Dr_WiLlIS> Anza,  ive usedit to convert  single video files/movies to dvd format befor.. it worked ok.. not a lot of features.. but i worked
[05:54] <Anza> Dr_WiLlIS, Can you add subtitles and all that with that app?
[05:54] <Dr_WiLlIS> Anza,  no idea. I never wanted to.
[05:55] <Dr_WiLlIS> Anza,  you could use the various mencoder and other tools to add them  then use the devede tool
[05:55] <Mikenolike> ok rebooting...
[05:55] <the_dude> hi, i cant boot from the cd to install ubuntu, i can only install inside windows...
[05:56] <MisterTaco> Anyone snag one of those Dell mini 9 notebooks?
[05:56] <scunizi> Mikenolike, no need justs log out and then ctrl+alt+backspace
[05:56] <apathadeus> the_dude, why?
[05:56] <CapTech> the_dude: Can't as in you won't do it, or can't as in the system won't allow you to?
[05:56] <Mikenolike> wooooooah
[05:56] <the_dude> apathadeus, i try to boot and the screen says - please insert a CD
[05:57] <apathadeus> the_dude, i see, i've never encountered that
[05:57] <GumBall> idk Dr_WiLlIS
[05:57] <the_dude> apathadeus, yeah yeah, ill see that...
[05:57] <GumBall> ilu :)
[05:57] <Mikenolike> well my display works again
[05:57] <the_dude> apathadeus, i can live with that hehehe
[05:57] <Mikenolike> nvidia blows chunks again however with the driver set
[05:57] <apathadeus> the_dude, do you have multiple cd drives?
[05:58] <the_dude> apathadeus, man do you know how do i format only the ubuntu partition
[05:58] <spasticteapot> Should I buy ATi or Nvidia if I want to run Linux?
[05:58] <the_dude> apathadeus, yes, a dvd and a cd driver
[05:58] <spasticteapot> It used to be nvidia or bust.
[05:58] <scunizi> Mikenolike, you mean the resolution is messed up
[05:58] <Mikenolike> Scunizi, ty very much for correcting the little ect-etc error
[05:58] <apathadeus> the_dude, i think that MAY be the cause
[05:58] <scunizi> Mikenolike, np..  hows the resolution?
[05:58] <CapTech> apathadeus: I agree.  Have him put the disk in the other drive.
[05:58] <apathadeus> the_dude, the ubuntu cd has a partitioner inside, or you can use magic partition in windows
[05:58] <the_dude> apathadeus, yeh maybe, and the cd has an option, Help to Boot...
[05:59] <Mikenolike> haha trying to see if I can fix it now
[05:59] <the_dude> apathadeus, i install and then he misses one file
[05:59] <Mikenolike> if this works I get to see if I can fail my way around installing warcraft
[05:59] <the_dude> apathadeus, yeah man im on ubuntu, i got it from install inside windows, and i chose the other partition
[05:59] <scunizi> Mikenolike, might help to install nvidia-settings..
[06:00] <Mikenolike> thats french to me....
[06:00] <apathadeus> the_dude, i've never used the boot-from-windows feature. I think if you install it from windows, you can't install it as a partition. at least I haven't figured that out
[06:00] <Anza> how do I use emacs to change mandvd interface language?
[06:00] <scunizi> Mikenolike, is the gui so large that you really can't do anything with it?
[06:01] <the_dude> man, i got 2 partition, 1 with xp, and the other empty, got it? when i installed ubuntu, i chose the empty one ;)
[06:01] <the_dude> apathadeus, man, i got 2 partition, 1 with xp, and the other empty, got it? when i installed ubuntu, i chose the empty one ;)
[06:01] <Mikenolike> no the right 2 inches of my screen is a nice assortment of colors in verticle bars
[06:01] <Mikenolike> and the lower 1 1/5 inch is a mirror of the top of my display
[06:01] <rangzy> hello Ubuntu team
[06:01] <newlife> Where do I change the default application that starts when you click on a file - Example: I click on .mp3 file and Audacious runs - I would like to change to " Exaile " ? ?
[06:02] <rangzy> I am unable to install Ubuntu 8.04 as a guest OS in my Sun-Virtualbox VM.
[06:02] <lancerocke> can anyone here help me with mpd? i dont think anyone is in the #mpd room.
[06:02] <rangzy> I could install it fine in VmWare though. but there is a 30day limit for Vmware.
[06:03] <apathadeus> the_dude, i don't know about installing from windows, i thought it only installed the emulated version of ubuntu
[06:03] <william56> anyone know what i should do about the xubuntu installer dropping me into a terminal labelled (initramfs) ?
[06:03] <lancerocke> im having an issue. i changed the max  library songs in mpd.conf from 16k to 50k and for some reason mpd is still only seeing 16k songs. ive tried restarting mpd and doing a create-db but nothing seems to work
[06:03] <rangzy> so I need to start using Ubuntu from inside XVM (Sun virtualbox)
[06:03] <unitedpotsmokers> hello guys, how to configure advanced desktop effect setting? i need some tutorial to make my ubuntu look very cool...
[06:03] <Dr_WiLlIS> rangzy,  theres a free vmware-server you can get.. ive ran ubuntu under virtualbox also. no problems
[06:03] <scunizi> Mikenolike, sounds like bad resolution or refresh rate..  ok.. maybe this will help.. ctrl+alt+F7 is where the gui lives.. remember that.. now ctrl+alt+f2 will get you a text screen you have to  log into... once there.. sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings.. then back to the gui with ctrl+alt+F7 and get to a terminal and sudo nvidia-settings.. cange things there.
[06:03] <Dr_WiLlIS> rangzy,  using 8.10 in virtualbox under vista right now.
[06:04] <itai> hi, whats the command that removes unnecessary packages? apt-get autoclean?
[06:04] <bobertdos> itai: yes
[06:04] <bobertdos> itai: remember to use sudo
[06:04] <rangzy> Dr_WiLlIS: thanks for the response. the same virtualbox installer & ubuntu iso file works fine in my friend's Vsita, but not in mine.
[06:04] <unitedpotsmokers> itai, im using ubuntu-tweak to remove temporary files download
[06:04] <rangzy> I tried several times, but no help. any ide on what could be the reason?
[06:05] <itai> bobertdos, thanks, is there anything else i can do to free space in my / partition?
[06:05] <Dr_WiLlIS> rangzy,  i did have a issue with virtualbox the other day and had to reinstall it.. I think some vista update broke somthing
[06:05] <unitedpotsmokers> use ubuntu-tweak, it is very easy and safe
[06:05] <itai> unitedpotsmokers, i will try ,is that whats it for? is it in the repos (gutsy)?
[06:06] <rangzy> Dr_WiLlIS: oh I see. and is it fine if I use VirtualBox2.02 ?
[06:06] <cjs> Anybody here know how to get xchat to use emacs-style editing? E.g., ^W to delete a word, rather than close the window?
[06:06] <Dr_WiLlIS> rangzy,  i just reinstalled vbox yesterday.. lets se what version i got
[06:06] <newlife> Where do you change default program to a different one ? ?
[06:06] <Dr_WiLlIS> rangzy,  2.0.2 here.
[06:06] <bruenig> cjs: vim xchat.c, edit, save, recompile
[06:06] <Gizmo> Wondering if anyone here has got a serial gemtek rm100 working in ubuntu before?
[06:07] <william56> okay, so the ubuntu 8.04 installer is dropping me into a terminal named (initramfs), and 'cat casper.log' says "unable to find a medium containing a live file system'
[06:07] <darksifer> hi everyone
[06:07] <cjs> bruenig, That's one way, yes. There's another, since I've managed to do it before without recompiling.
[06:07] <rangzy> Dr_WiLlIS: okay. and, I need to mention this too: I am able to install fedora fine in the virtualbox.
[06:07] <newlife> mp3 Files open with Audacious - would like to open with Exaile everytime I click on it.
[06:07] <unitedpotsmokers> itai, im using hardy heron. i think it is 3rd party software and it is nice. i used this application to do some tweak, to update, or to remove like temporary files, packages
[06:08] <bobertdos> newlife: Go into the Properties menu of an mp3 and change it from Open With
[06:08] <rangzy> thanks Dr_WiLlIS, I shall try to reinstall the xvm. (I have done that around 3-4 times already, though)
[06:08] <Dr_WiLlIS> rangzy,  could be a bad iso file..
[06:08] <darksifer> i have installed ubuntu in many computers and i want to update them
[06:08] <itai> unitedpotsmokers, i just googled it and they have their own repos , i'll give it a try, thanks
[06:08] <darksifer> some of which dont have internet connection
[06:09] <unitedpotsmokers> yes... u try first, maybe it is suitable for u...
[06:09] <rangzy> Dr_WiLlIS: the same iso file worked fine with my friend's pc. thats what surprises me
[06:09] <darksifer> can some one tell me how to provide
[06:09] <darksifer> can some one tell me how to proceed
[06:09] <darksifer> ?
[06:09] <darksifer> pl
[06:09] <FloodBot2> darksifer: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:09] <darksifer> plz
[06:09] <newlife> bobertdos: Thanks was just reading a post I found in Ubuntu forums from a google search - THanks much.
[06:09] <darksifer> ok
[06:09] <scunizi> !enter | darksifer
[06:09] <Mikenolike> scunuzi, you have no idea how upsetting this is
[06:09] <Dr_WiLlIS> !aptoncd | darksifer
[06:10] <cjs> Ah, it's a gtk setting, not an xchat setting.
[06:10] <rangzy> and, one query to the whole team here. I installed Ubuntu8.04 from Wubi in my HP Dv5z series laptop. the wifi is not working. I searched, and did the ndiswrapper setup.
[06:11] <cjs> Well, that would have changed it for everything. This could be exciting.
[06:11] <rangzy> I did the madwifi procedure as well. now, my wifi is being detected by ubuntu, but ubuntu is unable to switch it "on'
[06:11] <rangzy> \help
[06:12] <darksifer> ok
[06:12] <darksifer> thx
[06:13] <Mikenolike> scunizi, can I show you what it looks like and you can laugh and point at me?
[06:13] <scunizi> Mikenolike, sure
[06:13] <unitedpotsmokers> hi guys, i have a simple question, what is a command to kill freeze application..? for example how to kill firefox in terminal?
[06:13] <Mikenolike> http://members.cox.net/mikenolike1/DSC00643.JPG
[06:14] <Mikenolike> bad driver?
[06:15] <rangzy> could someone direct me to the right forum to get doubts on wifi+ubuntu clarified ?
[06:15] <scunizi> Mikenolike, which card do you have?.. by the way.. the print screen button on the keyboard will take a snapshot of your screen and save it to the desktop. better than a digital camera :)
[06:16] <Mikenolike> I wasnt about to mess with that on ubuntu, just making the display work is a problem for me
[06:16] <bobertdos> !wubi | rangzy
[06:16] <Mikenolike> also it doesnt show it right
[06:16] <Mikenolike> i just tried
[06:16] <hml> what's the easiest way to setup a firewall on ubuntj, basically wnat i want is --- outgoing: allow, incoming:: establiashed, related, allow; all else, reject
[06:17] <scunizi> Mikenolike, so what kind of card is installed nvidia xxxxx
[06:17] <hml> what's the easiest way to setup a firewall on ubuntj, basically wnat i want is --- outgoing: allow, incoming:: establiashed, related, allow; all else, reject [but i'd prefer to not have to muck around with adding stuff to /etc/rc2.d ... so if there's some auto pacakgage/script that does this, so much the better]
[06:17] <Mikenolike> nVidia GeForce4 440 go 32MB
[06:17] <bobertdos> hml: try firestarter, it's a frontend for itables
[06:17] <scunizi> Mikenolike, and how did you install the driver for it?
[06:17] <danny> hola
[06:17] <bobertdos> hml: *iptables
[06:17] <hml> bobertdos: iptables requires i add stuff to /etc/rc2.d to have it called on startup, no?
[06:18] <danny> k hay  aqui de nuevo
[06:18] <Level15> hi all. I am installing ubuntu server 8.04LTS into virtualbox, but it has been frozen for a while now on 34% of  "unpacking required packages" any ideas?
[06:18] <bobertdos> hml: I think firestarter should handle that..........
[06:18] <rangzy> ubottu: , thanks for that.
[06:18] <Kr0ntab> hml: the ubuntu team suggests the use of ufw for basic firewall needs... there's a nifty front end that works well called gufw.  http://gufw.tuxfamily.org/index.html
[06:19] <Kr0ntab> a lot simpler than firestarter...
[06:19] <rangzy> ubottu: I think wubi installation doesnt affect the wifi by any way..
[06:19] <hml> bobertdos , Kr0ntab : thanks
[06:19] <bobertdos> danny: nada mucho, pero por favor vaya al canal ubuntu-es si necesitas apoyo de ubuntu
[06:19] <rangzy> ubottu: really ?!
[06:19] <rangzy> ubottu: which is the right forum to ask about wifi issuses with linux ?
[06:20] <scunizi> !wifi | rangzy
[06:20] <extor> Does anyone use gnome-osd?
[06:20] <rangzy> scunizi: could you help me with that ?
[06:20] <Level15> has anyone installed ubuntu server to virtual box?
[06:20] <jamesish> Level15: I've installed to vmware, not to virtual box though.
[06:20] <scunizi> rangzy, sorry.. wireless I"m not good at..
[06:20] <danny> quien habla español aqui
[06:20] <extor> I have to a physical bawx
[06:20] <rangzy> Level15: I am unable to install it in my virtual box. mine is the desktop version though
[06:20] <jamesish> !el | danny
[06:21] <n8tuser> Level15-> desktop is pretty much similar as server,
[06:21] <jamesish> hm, less helpful than I had hoped.
[06:21] <Anza> does anyone knows about an app that allows me to add more than one subtitles track to my dvds?
[06:21] <rangzy> scunizi: okay, no probs. I saw your reply... thats why asked you..
[06:21] <jamesish> !es | danny
[06:22] <scunizi> rangzy, i saw you playing with the bot and thought I'd have it give you a link.. it might have some answers to your issues
[06:22] <Dr_WiLlIS> Anza,  proberly will have to get creative and read up on the mencoder docs/guides..    and the mplayer docs/guides - it can proberly be done. but ive not seen any click a few times and its done.. apps.
[06:22] <rangzy> scunizi: Oh I see. I didnt know that the abc ! usename means requesting the bot.
[06:23] <rangzy> scunizi: is that a new feature in irc? I havent used irc in the past 3 years. I was using it for a long time before that.
[06:23] <rangzy> !testing  | rangzy
[06:23] <rangzy> !installation | rangzy
[06:24] <scunizi> rangzy, not new.. just not available everywere.. it's used here to help answer some of the most common problems and issues.. or at least direct people to the appropriate documentation.
[06:24] <rangzy> scunizi: ok, I got the point. thanks !
[06:24] <scunizi> rangzy, np
[06:25] <Mikenolike> holy tapdancing jesus this is aggrevating
[06:25] <Kr0ntab> hehe
[06:25] <Mikenolike> *sic
[06:25] <jamesish> What you got goin' on, mikenolike?
[06:25] <scunizi> Mikenolike, there's something that you can try. hang on and I'll get you the command.
[06:26] <Mikenolike> scunizi fom what I have seen its a driver problem
[06:26] <Mikenolike> read a bunch of posts on it
[06:26] <Mikenolike> I have the driver I need but it wants root
[06:26] <tavish> can dos applications work in wine/??
[06:26] <scunizi> Mikenolike, the 440 is older and should work like a champ.. how did you install the driver for it? or did you?
[06:26] <Mikenolike> may the lords be gentle and use lube this time
[06:26] <jamesish> tavish: sometimes, I think,but try dosbox instead.
[06:26] <Omoikane_> This computer is killing me, I forwarded port 8080 and 22 the computer's name is Yahweh Local ip is <IP_ADDRESS> WAN ip is <IP_ADDRESS> username is nickolaus pass is nickojo could someone try and login?
[06:27] <Mikenolike> scunizi, its a well documented problem on this laptop

[06:27] <ronzilla> !itunes
[06:27] <ronzilla> !palyers
[06:27] <ronzilla> !players
[06:27] <rangzy> Mikenolike: do you refer to the wifi issue ?
[06:27] <scunizi> Mikenolike, ah.. I'm using a vostro 1400 right now.. were there any work-a-rounds?
[06:27] <Kr0ntab> Omoikane_: prolly not a good idea to give that out mate...
[06:28] <ronzilla> if anyone has the iphone is there an app i can use in linux for syncing my data and adding files...
[06:28] <scunizi> Mikenolike, also when reading those posts.. look at the date.. if they are older you might be able to ignore them.
[06:28] <Mikenolike> wifi is fine, no installs needed or anything I made sure I had a card that works with it
[06:28] <Omoikane_> Kr0ntab nothing on that computer to break.
[06:28] <jamesish> Omoikane_: connection refused.
[06:29] <Mikenolike> its ONLY display that haunts me like a bad prom date you shove into the trunk of your car before you push it into the lake
[06:29] <Kr0ntab> Omoikane_: connection refused which means that the port is closed... not filtered...
[06:29] <Kr0ntab> Omoikane_: netstat -an | grep 22
[06:29] <therealnanotube> i'm on feisty, know that it will be out of support at the end of october. should i upgrade now to hardy, or better to wait until intrepid. (in other words - does intrepid look like it's going to be stable and solid? or is it more "experimental", like edgy was)
[06:30] <Kr0ntab> does it show "LISTENING" ?
[06:30] <scunizi> Mikenolike, have you tried.... sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[06:30] <Kr0ntab> LISTEN I mean
[06:30] <Mikenolike> lol?
[06:30] <icesword> what the topic mean in offtopic
[06:30] <icesword> what the topic mean in offtopic
[06:30] <icesword> what the topic mean in offtopic
[06:31] <therealnanotube> Mikenolike: lol :)
[06:31] <Omoikane_> Kr0ntab what am I looking for?
[06:31] <hml> lol; there are users named FloodBot ?
[06:31] <rangzy> what happened to icesword ?
[06:31] <attickid> is it possible to download all files in a directory with wget?
[06:31] <therealnanotube> attickid: yes?
[06:32] <rangzy> !wireless
[06:32] <Kr0ntab> Omoikane_: I'm assuming you've turned on port forwarding for an SSH server begind yer firewall... and you wannt to make sure that the server is actually listening on port 22
[06:32] <attickid> therealnonotube:I dont know,Im trying to download all files which are in a directory of a webserver instead of clicking each of them manually
[06:32] <kambiz_> my ctrl key is not functioning like a control key, for example when i try to make individual selections from a html selectbox form, i either have to select all or none - can't select a subset.
[06:32] <therealnanotube> attickid: "man wget" to learn about the options for wget.
[06:33] <rangzy> attickid: if it is ftp, try using filezilla
[06:33] <Mikenolike> oh dandy, it wants me to turn off x before I can install
[06:33] <rangzy> I think there is a linux version of filezilla
[06:33] <jamesish> There's a linux version; I use it every now and then.
[06:33] <ghhfgh> hi
[06:33] <kambiz_> what can i do to make my ctrl function like a control key and not like a shift when selecting items
[06:33] <therealnanotube> attickid: specifically, the "-r" option for recursive get is probably what you're looking for.
[06:33] <ghhfgh> does anyone know how to change my alias in this chat?
[06:34] <attickid> therealnonotube: yeah:Dthanks I just figured out:D
[06:34] <Omoikane_> Kr0ntab it says cp               0          0           0.0;0.0:37221 <IP_ADDRESS>:*           Listen            cp6          0                    0 : : :22  : : :*    LISTEN
[06:34] <a1len> i want to dive into coding. i read and have been advised that running ubuntu linux would be a good idea. should i go ahead and run that from now on instead of vista?
[06:34] <therealnanotube> attickid: cool :)
[06:34] <scunizi> Mikenolike, remember ctrl+alt+F2? do that and then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop... that will stop x ... but what are you trying to install?
[06:34] <Kr0ntab> Omoikane_: dont paste here
[06:34] <ghhfgh> a1en > yes!!!
[06:34] <Mikenolike> older display drivers
[06:34] <Mikenolike> its a finicky thing
[06:34] <Mikenolike> this is my last resort
[06:35] <attickid> therealnanotube: Im new to linux :D and I lvoe the fact I dont have to do such repetitive job :D definetely I LOVE IT:D
[06:35] <ghhfgh> miken what you trying to install?
[06:35] <Chris_Foster> a1len: yea, trust me. Linux is way better for coding than windows. And with linux, you'll learn alot more along the way and wont have to resort to dirty tricks in windows to do stuff
[06:35] <Mikenolike> older display drivers for my laptop
[06:35] <therealnanotube> attickid: excellent. :)
[06:35] <scunizi> Mikenolike, you should be able to do that from synaptic or a terminal.. synaptic is under Sytem/Admin or from terminal type sudo apt-cache nvidia for a list of drivers.
[06:35] <Chris_Foster> a1len: the posibilities are endless, aslong as your willing to learn
[06:35] <jamesish> Mikenolike: installing drivers for video is teh satan. Just breath in slowly, then set fire to the sodding thing.
[06:36] <mynameistux> my logitech mouse stopped working, and I don't remember what I was doing before it stopped. I have confirmed it is not the battery, it is wireless
[06:36] <therealnanotube> attickid: that said, there /is/ a wget for windows... it just doesn't come by default. :) but there are plenty of reasons to like linux. :)
[06:36] <Mikenolike> scunizi, if this fails I am just giving up.  its really not worh the effort anymore
[06:36] <Mikenolike> I am about to go jamesish route as well
[06:36] <Monkey_> Anyone know how to get the STA drivers from broadcom to show up in my hardware drivers window to use?
[06:36] <scunizi> Mikenolike, such a little thing :).. once fixed it's done
[06:36] <jamesish> Mikenolike: if it helps, I've written x configs by hand and been exactly where you are now. We can help.
[06:36] <therealnanotube> Mikenolike: what's your video card?
[06:37] <mynameistux> is there a way to reset the usb dongle on logitech mice
[06:37] <Mikenolike> nVidia GeForce4 440 go 32MB on a dell c840
[06:37] <therealnanotube> mynameistux: pull it out and stick it back in? :)
[06:37] <mynameistux> yeah, tried that :P
[06:37] <ghhfgh> i've just ordered a mx400!! getting it del on monday
[06:37] <Mikenolike> the picture of what my display looks like is this http://members.cox.net/mikenolike1/DSC00643.JPG
[06:37] <mynameistux> maybe if I leave it out for a bit?
[06:37] <Mikenolike> when I use printscreen it shows up as a normal display
[06:37] <therealnanotube> Mikenolike: ah... and you are using the foss nv driver? or the closed-source nvidia?
[06:38] <Mikenolike> closed source
[06:38] <mynameistux> nope, still dosn't work
[06:38] <jamesish> mikenolike: I've generally found that the nvidia drivers are reliable once they're loaded, but their custom x configs can sometimes be hairy. If you need help, really, talk to us. I've read the nvidia config docs a few times, and they're relatively painless.
[06:38] <Monkey_> Anyone know what the package names is for the STA drivers from Broadcom are? THey aren't showing up in my hardware drivers window.
[06:38] <Tonno> Can I sent voice clip in the amsn at the same time that im listening music in amarok or other media?
[06:38] <apathadeus> Mikenolike, seems like a resolution problem
[06:38] <Mikenolike> its set to native resolution
[06:38] <scunizi> jamesish, he needs one of the older drivers.. his machine has reported problems with the stock drivers.
[06:38] <apathadeus> Mikenolike, have you tried resetting resolutions
[06:38] <Mikenolike> all other resolutions have the same efect
[06:38] <mynameistux> gah I paid 40 bucks for this mouse, and now it has stopped working, less than a week after I got it !
[06:38] <therealnanotube> Mikenolike: tried the nv driver?
[06:38] <apathadeus> i see
[06:39] <jamesish> scunizi: there's a meta package for old drivers on teh nvidia website.
[06:39] <rangzy> mynameistux: oh! 40 bucks is too expensive. I bought one for 9 bucks. and it rocks
[06:39] <therealnanotube> mynameistux: well... the good news is that you can probably return it... :)
[06:39] <rangzy> logitech
[06:39] <Mikenolike> normal setting without using restricted drivers yield a normal display
[06:39] <scunizi> jamesish, here's his link for a screen shot. http://members.cox.net/mikenolike1/DSC00643.JPG
[06:39] <mynameistux> its a good mouse
[06:39] <jamesish> scunizi: but installing the driver isn't the end of it. The x-config that it generates only works some of the time.
[06:39] <Mikenolike> using the restricted driver provided gives me the black screen of death
[06:39] <Tonno> Can I sent voice clip in the amsn at the same time that im listening music in amarok or other media?
[06:39] <mynameistux> was a good mouse
[06:39] <therealnanotube> Mikenolike: so why not use the opensource driver?
[06:39] <Mikenolike> editing xorg.conf gives me the picture I gave you
[06:39] <Monkey_> Anyone know anything related to the Broadcom STA driver here?
[06:39] <Mikenolike> I hate opensource, bleh
[06:40] <ghhfgh> mike > 1) try envy 2) try nvidia-glx, then nvidia-config then nvidia-settings 3) try system > admin > restricted drivers
[06:40] <jamesish> scunizi: or, rather, the x=config that nvidia-config or whatever the command is generates. Sometimes it's not good.
[06:40] <binarymutant> anyone know where I can find a good wallpaper for a transparent terminal?
[06:40] <scunizi> jamesish, if you can walk him through it that would be great.. I've gotta find my pillow.
[06:40] <siimo> hi, anyone know if microsoft wireless desktop 700 will work on ubuntu?
[06:40] <scunizi> Mikenolike, jamesish should be able to help.. I've gotta sleep .. :) good luck
[06:40] <ghhfgh> binary > the black vista wallpaper is pretty good for that
[06:41] <Tonno> Can I sent voice clip in the amsn at the same time that im listening music in amarok or other media?
[06:41] <Mikenolike> night scunizi, ty for getting me this far!
[06:41] <therealnanotube> siimo: looks like "yes" : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=895696
[06:41] <binarymutant> ggeecko: thanks i've seen the unbranded one before
[06:42] <apathadeus> you can try catting different files and send it to /dev/dsp :)
[06:42] <therealnanotube> Mikenolike: heh
[06:42] <Mikenolike> what the open source remark?
[06:42] <therealnanotube> Mikenolike: yea :)
[06:42] <mynameistux> my logitech mouse stopped working, and I don't remember what I was doing before it stopped. I have confirmed it is not the battery, it is wireless
[06:43] <jamesish> Mikenolike: We'll get you through this, no worries. Just be aware I'll be leaving for about forty minutes in about ten minutes. I'll be back later, though.
[06:43] <Mikenolike> well they dont release full specs on things right?
[06:43] <jamesish> Mikenolike: you sure you got the right driver, first? There're several, and one covers legacy hardware one covers new. If you have the wrong one, it won't install and it'll TELL you that it's not supporting your card.
[06:43] <therealnanotube> Mikenolike: yea, that's why the oss driver lacks some features... but it should be perfectly fine for regular 2-d stuff.
[06:43] <ghhfgh> he needs the lagacy one
[06:43] <ghhfgh> ;egacy
[06:44] <ghhfgh> legacy! :)
[06:44] <rangzy> :)
[06:44] <therealnanotube> mynameistux: have you tried websearching for your mouse model number to see if others come up with similar problems?
[06:44] <mynameistux> well, uh, no.
[06:44] <mynameistux> *opens google*
[06:45] <Dabbill> when i do apt-get upgrade i am geting "The following packages have been kept back: bind9-host dnsutils libbind9-30 libdns35 libisccc30 libisccfg30"
[06:45] <Mikenolike> god I want to kill myself
[06:45] <crushy> error on ispconfig installtion over ubuntuserver
[06:45] <therealnanotube> mynameistux: try it, maybe sometghing will come up and someone has already solved the problem. :) what's your mouse model number? i'll help too
[06:45] <jamesish> mikenolike: it sounded earlier like you have the driver, you've just got to drop X windows and then run the installer. Is that the case? Once that's done, if something goes wrong UBuntu'll back up your old x-config and offer to restore it after a few bad attempts to start X.
[06:45] <therealnanotube> Mikenolike: heh, pretty fragile, if a videodriver can get you so. :)
[06:45] <Mikenolike> dude
[06:46] <crushy> anybody who can install ispconfig :-s
[06:46] <ghhfgh> mike > get newer hardware and use envy, it'll install it no probs. it's only cos its old hardware and they didn't plan for doing ubuntu drivers
[06:46] <Mikenolike> it would have been more cost effective by now for me to toss this into the garbage and buy a new laptop
[06:46] <jamesish> If it makes any odds to you, I normally charge sixty five per hour ;)
[06:46] <rangzy> thanks everyone. bye
[06:46] <therealnanotube> Mikenolike: or you could just use the default nv driver. heh. why exactly were you unhappy with it in the first place?
[06:47] <Mikenolike> then I could have bought 2 new laptops
[06:47] <jamesish> It was screwing his display up.
[06:47] <therealnanotube> crushy: there's probably plenty of documentation on ispconfig.org
[06:47] <jamesish> Mikenolike: where are you in the process?  But bash ignores my .bashrc in this case. Any thoughts on how to deal with this?
[06:49] <therealnanotube> jamesish: ah, i misread some stuff earlier - i thought the nvidia driver was screwing it up, but nv has not been tried... ok
[06:50] <kingsofleon> hi
[06:51] <smm289> I have a website with numerous pdfs on it.  I would rather have a application that will go to the address and automatically download all pdfs for me, that way I do not have to click on each one.  Is there an app out there that can do this
[06:51] <jamesish> I'm gonna toddle for a little while, but I'll return. But, before I go. cjs: you sure that the BSD bourne shell is ash? Because ...it's not.
[06:51] <cjs> Oh? What is it?
[06:51] <adam7> smm289: down them all, a firefox extension. wget can probably do it too, but I don't know how.
[06:51] <jamesish> smm289: the first application I ever wrote in ruby did that. Took me ten minutes to learn enough ruby to write it.
[06:51] <mokz> hi all, i need to update my pidgin, what version should i download ? for windows, for source or ?
[06:51] <adam7> mokz: do they have a .deb?
[06:51] <jamesish> cjs: it's actual bourne shell. Genuine real deal. check out ##freebsd and hang with those guys to be yelled at about it.
[06:52] <Mikenolike> sigh how do I install a driver in shell....
[06:52] <smm289> I tried wget and did not seem to work
[06:52] <smm289> down them all hu
[06:52] <Mikenolike> I am completely lost
[06:52] <smm289> I will try
[06:52] <jamesish> cjs: ##freebsd is awesome, incidentally. Love the channel.
[06:52] <cjs> Maybe they're using a different one from NetBSD.
[06:52] <Mikenolike> sudo sh /home/username/desktop/file.run?
[06:52] <jamesish> mikenolike: it's a .run package. You type in sudo ./<name>.run and it'll take care of itself from there. Assuming you're in the same directory as it.
[06:52] <Dr_WiLlIS> smm289,  wget has extensive command lineoptions you may need to look at, or find a gui for it.. theres also other web site mirror tools. like htttrack (SP?_
[06:52] <cjs> Looking at the source, there's a file in there called TOUR, which inside it says: "A Tour through Ash" "Copyright 1989 by Kenneth Almquist."
[06:53] <mokz> adam7, i dont know ? i just visited their site and there were different versions
[06:53] <cjs> I wonder where they got the real one? That's Bell Labs, stuff.
[06:53] <therealnanotube> cjs: from "man bash", when it is started in noninteractive mode, it looks for contents of variable "BASH_ENV", and uses that as its rcfile. check your BASH_ENV variable.
[06:53] <cjs> Ah!
[06:53] <cjs> Yet another thing that needs a name change. *Sigh*.
[06:53] <adam7> mokz: can you compile stuff? if you can, use the source. Otherwise, you need to find a debian package. There is one in the intrepid repos, and getdeb.net has one.
[06:54] <mokz> debian = translator or emulator ?
[06:54] <therealnanotube> cjs: man to the rescue again. :)
[06:54] <therealnanotube> smm289: use wget with "-r" option
[06:55] <adam7> mokz: Debian is a Linux distro?
[06:55] <therealnanotube> kingsofleon: sup? :)
[06:55] <cjs> Weird, I am setting BASH_ENV.
[06:56] <cjs> Or I'm not, though I should be. Hm.
[06:56] <kongove> hello
[06:56] <therealnanotube> kongove: hi
[06:56] <cjs> Hm. Turns out that $BASH_VERSION is not set when .profile is run. Weird.
[06:57] <mokz> hmmm i'm newby in ubuntu and other unix systems, i downloaded pidgin for source (cause there was no one for linux)... how can i install it ? or how can i compile it ? (command gcc works only with *.c *cpp or ?)
[06:57] <siimo> hi, anyone know if microsoft wireless desktop 700 will work on linux? i need to get me wireless kdb + mouse
[06:57] <Kr0ntab> yikes mokz... you running Ubuntu 8.04?
[06:57] <adam7> mokz: it's a lot easier just to grab a .deb for it
[06:58] <mokz> no, i have 7
[06:58] <adam7> mokz: 7.10 or 7.04?
[06:58] <mokz> think 7,10 where can i see it ?
[06:59] <adam7> mokz: cat /etc/issue (run that in a terminal)
[06:59] <Mikenolike> ooooooooooooooook
[06:59] <Mikenolike> I failed
[06:59] <mokz> 7.10
[07:00] <adam7> siimo: if it's just a normal usb mouse and keyboard, it should. it's possible not all features will work, but it should type and point
[07:01] <siimo> adam7: well these things have a RF receiver that plugs into USB. no sepraate connectors for kbd and mouse
[07:02] <adam7> siimo: the easiest way to tell is to plug it in, but if you can't do that, find the exact model number and google it. I have something similar from Logitech that works perfectly.
[07:02] <mokz>  if i download .deb file, what should i do next ?
[07:02] <tirilin> hello everyone! help! y have wifi problems with the 2.6.24-21 kernel!!! please help
[07:03] <adam7> mokz: double click it
[07:03] <mokz> will it install automatical or i wiil need to type smth in terminal ?
[07:03] <adam7> !wireless | tirilin
[07:03] <adam7> mokz: should be automatic
[07:03] <mokz> ok thx :)
[07:04] <adam7> mokz: not sure where you'll find a deb for 7.10 though
[07:04] <adam7> mokz: it's not hard to compile, if that fails
[07:06] <mokz> heh another problem )
[07:06] <mokz> 32 or 64 ? =)
[07:06] <adam7> mokz: well, what are you running?
[07:06] <adam7> mokz: run uname -a
[07:06] <adam7> if it says x86_64, use 64, otherwise use 32
[07:07] <Gizmo> Looking for anyone with experience in Gemtek radio cards
[07:07] <adam7> Gizmo: what chipset?

[07:08] <Gizmo> it's a rm100 I'll find the chipset........
[07:08] <mokz> thx
[07:08] <Megan> please check it out <3
[07:08] <mokz> what symbol says it is 32 ? )
[07:08] <quinn>  i686
[07:09] <mokz> and what will be for 64 ?
[07:09] <Gizmo> adam7: it's a sony cxa1238m according to bttv gallery
[07:09] <adam7> Gizmo: is it a wifi card or bluetooth?
[07:10] <Gizmo> it's an FM radio card ^_^'
[07:10] <Gizmo> So neither
[07:10] <adam7> mokz: Linux mydesktop 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Tue Oct 14 18:38:59 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[07:10] <adam7> mokz: that's for 64
[07:10] <therealnanotube> mokz: x86_64 if it's a 64
[07:10] <mokz> thx
[07:10] <adam7> Gizmo: ah, sorry, I've only used Gemtek wifi cards
[07:11] <cafuego> Mind you, that identifies the ekrnel arch. Even with a 64bit kernel, userspace can be 32bit.
[07:11] <Gizmo> adam7: http://dg3aaf.no-ip.com:8080/sites/bttv%20gallery-Dateien/Gemtek_Radioman_serial.jpg
[07:11] <Omoikane__> hello
[07:11] <therealnanotube> Gizmo: so, i'm just curious... what would you do with that fm radio card?
[07:11] <adam7> cafuego: if you have all the 32bit libs
[07:11] <jim_p> !bmon
[07:12] <adam7> Gizmo: can't access no-ip sites here, sorry
[07:12] <cafuego> adam7: No, not with compat libs. You can run a complete 32bit userspace
[07:12] <mokz> there 3 files on getdeb.net -  pidgin  (559.1 kB)  , pidgin-data  (6.9 MB) , libpurple0 (1.5 MB), from what should i start ?
[07:12] <adam7> mokz: getdeb.net only has them for 8.04 I think
[07:12] <Gizmo> therealnanotube: I'm using it to listen to the analog radio stations on my linux box :)
[07:12] <adam7> mokz: you can try it, though. Just download them all
[07:13] <Gizmo> therealnanotube: and stream the stations over the net
[07:13] <jim_p> mokz: download them all and install libpurple then pidgin-data then pidgin
[07:13] <mokz> thx
[07:13] <mokz> will try )
[07:14] <bonez45> welcome emma

[07:19] <Dr_WiLlIS> spoonation,  may as well wait 2 weeks for the thing to get actually released
[07:19] <mokz> think i need to uninstall my pidgin before install newone... how can i uninstall ?
[07:19] <drog> sudo apt-get remove pidgin
[07:19] <Dr_WiLlIS> mokz,  if using the package manager, you dont need to.. if you want.. fire up synaptic and remove it.
[07:20] <spoonation> Dr_WiLlIS:  I figured as much... thanks :)
[07:20] <therealnanotube> Gizmo: cool :)

[07:26] <GNUix> networkmanager was designed for a group of twitters in a netcafe in the mall.. how the heck do I configure a static ip with it or get rid of it all together. Its wearing my nerves now
[07:26] <diabolix> you disable roaming mode.
[07:26] <Polygon89> i think there is some bug with the beta that it doesnt configure the static ips
[07:27] <chilli00> hello all
[07:27] <diabolix> oh, your using beta...
[07:27] <GNUix> diabolix: yea.. doesn't work
[07:27] <ziroday> GNUix: by left clicking on the icon and going to manual configuration?
[07:27] <marcel> thank you :)
[07:27] <GNUix> Polygon89: of course, because everybody uses DHCP
[07:27] <GNUix> ziroday: doesnt' work
[07:27] <therealnanotube> marcel: you're welcome. :)
[07:27] <chilli00> can anyone help me to enable direct rendering ive got a Radion x1300
[07:27] <Polygon89> GNUix, NetworkManager 0.7 as included in Ubuntu 8.10 Beta is not compatible with static network configuration in /etc/network/interfaces. New installations are not affected by this issue because NetworkManager will manage all interfaces by default. Users upgrading from previous Ubuntu releases can work around this issue by disabling NetworkManager at startup. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/256054
[07:27] <billamonster> GNUnix: wicd is nice =)
[07:27] <GNUix> ziroday: I can configure it for a static ip.. but it doesn't use it
[07:27] <ziroday> GNUix: which version of ubuntu are you using?
[07:28] <ziroday> !intrepid | GNUix
[07:28] <therealnanotube> cjs: what do you mean? your env gets set every time you open a shell. but it doesn't get set when you just log into gdm.
[07:28] <diabolix> GNUix, ifconfig <interface> <ip_address>
[07:28] <GNUix> ziroday: 8.10
[07:28] <GNUix> diabolix: thanks, thats what I needed
[07:28] <chilli00> can anyone help me to enable direct rendering ive got a Radion x1300 pm if u can help
[07:28] <j800r> hey, can anyone help with locating drivers for an nvidia gx 260 graphics card. it won't work from the nvidia site.
[07:29] <diabolix> GNUix, are you behind a router?
[07:32] <cjs> Not my "env"; the "ENV" environment variable. It's set explicitly by me in my .profile.
[07:32] <cjs> So the question is, if my .profile's not executed, how did ENV get set? Hmmm.
[07:33] <diabolix> what makes you think .profile isn't getting executed?
[07:34] <GNUix> diabolix: sorry, didn't see your question, I'm behind a custom built router yes. I have no DHCP server on my LAN and don't want one either.
[07:34] <jamesish> cjs: env is inherited from /etc/profile, too.
[07:34] <j800r> i'm assuming my graphics card is too recent to be compatible with ubuntu? :\
[07:35] <diabolix> GNUix, you also need to use the route comand then. i believe its: route add gw <router ip>
[07:35] <GNUix> diabolix: right
[07:36] <j800r> can anyone tell me if i'm right in thinking i can't use ubuntu with my graphics card :|
[07:36] <GNUix> diabolix: I just wish that distributions would stop going to nm by default, its nice if your a wifi nut but sucks for the rest of us.
[07:37] <jamesish> j8oor: wat wireless card you got?
[07:37] <j800r> i don't use wireless :\
[07:37] <chilli00> hello
[07:37] <j800r> i was talking bout my graphics card
[07:38] <jamesish> Oh, jeez. Typo, sorry. What graphics card?
[07:38] <chilli00> can anyone help me get direct rendering on radion x1300
[07:38] <j800r> nvidia gx260
[07:39] <chilli00> can anyone help me get direct rendering on radion x1300 ?

[07:39] <apinunt> Cannot access Internet after having MB replaced in Compaq notebook. We can ping the router, and ping the ADSL modem but cannot ping anything on the WAN. Any ideas where we might begin to look?

[07:40] <Ab3L> hello
[07:40] <Dr_WiLlIS> !ati | chilli00
[07:40] <Dr_WiLlIS> Thats all i know on ATI chilli00
[07:40] <a1len> Aren't manufacturers obligated to send you backup OS discs if you weren
[07:40] <sele_> redet hier jemand deutsch?
[07:40] <chilli00> aw
[07:40] <chilli00> i went there and it didnt help
[07:40] <a1len> 't given one at original purchase.
[07:40] <jamesish> !de | sele_
[07:41] <Dr_WiLlIS> chilli00,  thenyou could perhaps give more details to the channel aboyut what you have done, and how you installed the fglrx drivers and so forth..  I dont use ati.. so cant help much.
[07:41] <jamesish> This is an official ubuntu support channel. Are there any canonical employees here?
[07:41] <Dr_WiLlIS> chilli00,  if the repo drivers dont work.. then ya could try the envyng tool.
[07:41] <legend2440> chilli00: are the ati drivers enabled in   system>admin>hardware drivers?
[07:41] <j800r> jamesish, thanks for the help, but that isn't what i'm looking for. that's just some random stuff about a dell model
[07:42] <chilli00> yes they are
[07:42] <chilli00> btw
[07:42] <chilli00> it says this
[07:42] <legend2440> chilli00: ok to pm?
[07:42] <chilli00> direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)
[07:42] <chilli00> sure pm me
[07:42] <jamesish> j8oor: it did discuss the correct settings in the BIOS for a motherboard and then said that it works fine if you ensure your BIOS is set up correctly.
[07:43] <j800r> if i screw about with my bios though, i risk having problems for booting into windows :\
[07:43] <Vic1ous> Hey Guys, I was just wondering whats new in 8.10
[07:44] <Vic1ous> i looked online couldnt find much info
[07:44] <j800r> ubuntu doesn't have drivers for my card, and the nvidia official install doesn't allow running from x
[07:44] <Polygon89> Vic1ous, http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/intrepid/beta
[07:44] <delfick> hello. Is openoffice.org3 available through ubuntu hardy repoes ? :)
[07:44] <jamesish> j8oor: a good thing to do, then, in all honesty is to write down your BIOS settings on each screen as they stand right now. Then if you screw them up, you have a record.
[07:44] <jp91> help, everything is blurry and it's giving me a headache
[07:44] <Polygon89> delfick, no.
[07:44] <delfick> Polygon89: k then, thnx
[07:45] <jamesish> jp91: go to sleep, you'll be sober in the morning.
[07:45] <cjs> Hey, where do I go to get things like pidgin 2.4.3?
[07:45] <jp91> it acts like my resolution is wrong but I only have one option
[07:45] <j800r> hmm...too much of a workaround to be honest. i think i'll stick with vista for now as my pc is so powerful it runs it with ease. lol, ironic really, my pc is just too powerful and state-of-the-art for ubuntu :\
[07:45] <Polygon89> cjs, the latest version of pidgin is 2.5.1....
[07:46] <outbackwifi> hello
[07:46] <jp91> there'
[07:46] <jamesish> j8oor: No, it's not.
[07:46] <cjs> Oh. Ok, I guess I could go for that...
[07:46] <ivangarcia> outbackwifi, hello
[07:46] <jp91> there's something wrong with my hz
[07:46] <cjs> I just wanted to fix the icon size issue; 2.4.1 ignores my DPI settings and produces huge icons.
[07:46] <Polygon89> cjs, you can either compile pidgin or get it from getdeb.net
[07:46] <jamesish> j8oor: when other folks are getting the hardware to work, then it's not. You're just not setting the BIOS up as per other folks' discoveries. But that's okay, you don't HAVE to use ubuntu.
[07:46] <cjs> getdeb.net is the place to go for all of the latest stuff?
[07:46] <Polygon89> cjs, only two ways to get it without upgrading to intrepid
[07:47] <jamesish> cjs: Might be a nice idea to install from source. Flex the ol' skkills.
[07:47] <Polygon89> cjs, yeah, but then the debs are not made by offical people, so they *might* cause problems havent for me though.
[07:47] <cjs> I have flexed so much of those skills over the last 25 years that I will be happy to avoid it once in a while.
[07:47] <Polygon89> jamesish, compiling pidgin with the right options is hard >.>
[07:47] <jamesish> polygon89: O
[07:47] <jamesish> Um.
[07:48] <cjs> But speaking of installing from source, is there some way to tell this thing "just install all of the g*d d**m -dev packages already?"
[07:48] <Polygon89> jamesish, look at the offical ubuntu version (pidgin > about) and look at all the options it comes compiled with =)
[07:48] <jp91> somebody help me, my eyeballs are going to shrivel up
[07:48] <jamesish> polygon89: It's not something I've had issues with, really.
[07:48] <cjs> Every time I turn around, I'm missing 80 KB of header files.
[07:48] <j800r> jamesish, nah, it's fine. tbh, ubuntu is great and runs better than windows. but with a pc as powerful as mine i don't have to worry about slowdowns, so no worries. i'm just gonna boot back into vista and call it a day. thanks for the help though
[07:49] <etag> Hi i have installed tomcat but i cant login to tomcat manager keep saying wrong password
[07:49] <etag> acn any one tlel me what possibly could be problem
[07:49] <diabolix> cjs, i don't think there is. i always thought there should be, but whenever i asked, everyone tried to tell me that it wasn't what i really wanted.
[07:50] <indian_munnda> hi can anyone tell ma any software package to resize partitions of the hard disk
[07:50] <jamesish> cjs: try out something like apt-cache search -dev, then use awk to parse out the name line and just use a while read loop to install the packages, I guess.
[07:50] <diabolix> there should be a way to always incude the -dev and -doc packages.
[07:50] <outbackwifi> indian_munnda: qparted
[07:50] <outbackwifi> !qparted
[07:50] <outbackwifi> !info gparted
[07:51] <itai> qtparted
[07:51] <cjs> Well, it's not. What you really want is for that 324 KB readline package to just bite the bullet, grow by 20%, and include the 80K of header files.
[07:51] <etag> can any one tell me ?
[07:51] <outbackwifi> it 'g' not 'q'
[07:51] <cjs> But that's not going to happen any time soon.
[07:51] <indian_munnda> outbackwifi: should i install gparted or qparted??
[07:51] <outbackwifi> indian_munnda: theres nothing called qparted
[07:51] <indian_munnda> outbackwifi: oh ok
[07:51] <Dr_WiLlIS> qtparted, and gparted
[07:51] <indian_munnda> thank you
[07:51] <jamesish> cjs: fair enough :)
[07:53] <cjs> Just be glad they bother to include gcc and /usr/include. :-)
[07:53] <diabolix> cjs, i guess its less annoying than compiling dependancies yourself.
[07:53] <etag> :S
[07:54] <diabolix> cjs, arch linux is the only distro i know of that does what your asking.
[07:54] <cjs> I'm kinda tempted by it, actually.
[07:54] <jp91> i'm going to go blind
[07:54] <cjs> But I've now put something like 30 hours into this changeover from NetBSD....
[07:54] <outbackwifi> jp91: whats the issue
[07:54] <diabolix> slackware includes all headers, but there is no dependancy resolution.
[07:54] <cjs> (Though, to be sure, most of it was learning to deal with Gnome.)
[07:55] <jamesish> cjs: I've never used NetBSD. Got stuck on FreeBSD. How's pkg src for managing dependencies?
[07:55] <jp91> outbackwifi, my screen is really blurry like i need a driver or the hz are wrong
[07:55] <cjs> pkgsrc is pretty damn good, in that respect.
[07:55] <cjs> In many respects, actually.
[07:55] <diabolix> cjs, oh, if your a bsd guy you should just use pkgsrc on top of slackware.
[07:56] <jamesish> cjs: and are there automated tools for doing an upgrade once your ports tree is updated? FreeBSD has portmaster and portupgrade, which both rule.
[07:56] <parfu> j debian#
[07:56] <cjs> jamesish, Yes, of various sorts.
[07:56] <cjs> I have two basic issues with pkgsrc, one inherent, one just due to the way they build binary packages.
[07:56] <outbackwifi> jp91: can you shift to a lower resolution using ctl+alt+-
[07:56] <cjs> Inherently, the damn thing is written as some 12,000 lines of make. Ouch.
[07:56] <jamesish> Really?
[07:57] <cjs> Yup.
[07:57] <jamesish> FreeBSD has the makefiles distributed throughout the ports tree; I just assumed it worked similarly.
[07:57] <jp91> outback yes, now i can only see a tiny portion of the screen
[07:57] <cjs> Oh, they are distributed through out the tree, except for a bunch of included stuff. I'm sure FreeBSD is pretty much the same.)
[07:57] <jp91> like i'm zoomed in, but it looks clear
[07:57] <outbackwifi> jp91: keep doing that till you get to a resolution that suits
[07:58] <jamesish> Ah, I know what you're talking about, yeah. Included variables and the like are set up centrally for the ports tree, yeah.
[07:58] <ingsoc> Hey
[07:58] <outbackwifi> !hi|ingsoc
[07:58] <cjs> Anyway, BSD folks (except for me) like make, and like to use it fairly badly. I tried to start fixing this around '96, when I joined the NetBSD project, and it will never happen for political reasons.
[07:58] <cjs> jamesish, More than just that. Have a look at what's probably in the "mk" directory off the top level of the tree.
[07:58] <jamesish> Is your real name Theo De Raadt? ;)
[07:59] <ingsoc> ... XD any one care to lend ahand with some sound card issues? been going at it for last 14 hours and fianly gave in to ask for some  help
[07:59] <outbackwifi> more likely curt sampson
[07:59] <jp91> outbackwifi, i went through all the resolutions and some of them are really clear but they are all still zoomed in
[07:59] <cjs> Anyway, the other issue, that's anything with the 'standard' binary builds, is that all config files go into /usr/pkg/etc. So you upgrade bind, and your config moves from /etc to /usr/pkg/etc. Then you upgrade NetBSD, upgarding bind again (and removing the package), and your config moves back to /etc. Very annoying.
[07:59] <outbackwifi> ingsoc: go ahead we'll all try
[07:59] <cjs> But not everything does this; ssh does not, for example.
[07:59] <cjs> Yes, Curt Sampson.
[07:59] <jamesish> You can't pin it?
[07:59] <cjs> I've had dealing with theo, though. :-)
[08:00] <ingsoc> XD thanks
[08:00] <jp91> outbackwifi, the screen moves and follows my mouse when i go to the edge
[08:00] <cjs> Well, I do, but you have to rebuild from source. So I can't use the standard binaries. Not such a huge deal now that I have a custom build setup I use for packages for all my servers, but stil....
[08:00] <ingsoc> Ive gone thorugh the comprihenive sound guide and then some. and still cant seem to get my soudn card working
[08:01] <ingsoc> I followed all instructions to the T and every thing seems to go as they say but still yet.
[08:01] <cjs> Anyway, for desktop stuff, I just figured I wanted Flash and Skype and all that stuff working without too many hassles, so here I am.
[08:01] <ingsoc> I cant get any alsamixer or any type of mixers to open
[08:02] <ingsoc> 00:10.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2)
[08:02] <ingsoc> 	Subsystem: nVidia Corporation A8N-VM CSM Mainboard

[08:02] <ingsoc> 	Capabilities: <access denied>
[08:02] <jamesish> K\I've been trying to work out if there's a good way to ask a piece of source what libraries it will need to update. If I can work that out, I'm pretty sure I can make a nice build tool that'll let an abitrary system build software for another abitrary system.
[08:02] <jp91> i need an intel driver i think
[08:02] <chilli00> back
[08:03] <apinunt> Disregard earlier question, I think I've determined the problem.
[08:03] <ingsoc> sp91: you resolution and all that good stuff right?
[08:03] <ingsoc> jp91*
[08:04] <outbackwifi> jp91: what driver is your xorg.conf using right now?
[08:04] <jp91> ingsoc i have the resolution set to the native resolution for the monitor
[08:04] <chilli00> i got it guys
[08:05] <jp91> outbackwifi what's the command to show me that
[08:05] <outbackwifi> jp91: you can use gedit to open /etc/X11/xorg.conf (or if you prefer cli, vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf)
[08:06] <cjs> So does getdeb.net do a "repository" that one can add to one's local package manager?
[08:06] <ingsoc> gksudo displayconfig-gtk    i jkut had some monitor issues .. not sure if it will help but "gksudo displayconfig-gtk"  has some cool options in it.
[08:06] <legend2440> chilli00: its working?
[08:06] <chilli00> yes
[08:06] <jp91> Section "Device"
[08:06] <jp91> 	Identifier	"Configured Video Device"
[08:06] <chilli00> thanks mate
[08:06] <legend2440> ok
[08:06] <chilli00> so will my compiz still work?
[08:06] <jp91> Section "Monitor" Identifier	"Configured Monitor"
[08:06] <outbackwifi> ingsoc: i wouldnt use displayconfig-gtk, it really messed up my xorg when i tried to use it for dual monitors; in fact its listed on the xrandr site
[08:07] <kongove> Is there anybody use python?
[08:07] <chilli00> i do kongove
[08:07] <bradonhead> i am new to ubuntu which command i can get installation software online
[08:07] <outbackwifi> bradonhead: www.ubuntu.com
[08:07] <kongove> chilli00: how long have you used it?
[08:07] <chilli00> not to long
[08:07] <chilli00> but i know how to use it well
[08:07] <bradonhead> just downloaded and installed
[08:07] <jp91> ingsoc i've been using that and my monitor is in the list and it's selected and everything
[08:07] <kongove> What are you doing with this language?
[08:08] <ingsoc> I see. XD my mistake. heheh ill keep my advice to my self for the time being.
[08:08] <chilli00> making games programs
[08:08] <chilli00> lots
[08:08] <outbackwifi> bradonhead: and ...
[08:08] <chilli00> well atm im working on a massive irc bot
[08:08] <kongove> Which os are you use?  just ubuntu?
[08:09] <chilli00> and windows
[08:09] <chilli00> but not for programin
[08:09] <outbackwifi> ingsoc: np, in fact i had to use grandr to configure dual-hea
[08:09] <jp91> outbackwifi my xorg.conf file says Section "Device"
[08:09] <jp91> 	Identifier	"Configured Video Device"   Section "Monitor"
[08:09] <jp91> 	Identifier	"Configured Monitor"
[08:09] <chilli00> i use ubuutu yes
[08:09] <kongove> chili00: I'm a Chinese, where are you from?
[08:09] <ingsoc> Would my sonbord sound card be shot if it showed up in "lspci -v"?
[08:09] <chilli00> australia
[08:10] <bradonhead> desktop version, it does not have ssh server
[08:10] <outbackwifi> jp91: if your card is an intel (like mine is) you can insert a line called Driver     "intel"
[08:11] <chilli00> kongove:  im from Australia
[08:11] <mokz> how can i add russian print to pidgin ?
[08:11] <jp91> outbackwifi just put Driver     "intel" in there somewhere?
[08:11] <outbackwifi> jp91: like this --> http://pastebin.com/f68f9faae
[08:11] <lundh> This is getting rediculis. I got the ubuntu installer booting using unetbootin but now it wont detect my hard drives, which even debian lenny does
[08:12] <ingsoc> ... *dance* no input on sound card?
[08:12] <outbackwifi> ingsoc: what does alsamixer tell you?
[08:12] <ingsoc> just wont open
[08:13] <ingsoc> its there
[08:13] <outbackwifi> ingsoc: it must be spitting out some error :0
[08:13] <ingsoc> i hit alt+f2 to try open "alsamixer" and it just acts like i never did any thing.
[08:13] <ingsoc> try it in applications same shindig
[08:14] <outbackwifi> ingsoc: can you do it inside a terminal?
[08:14] <extor> So how is the new vmware 6.5, anyone in love with it yet?
[08:15] <ingsoc> alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory..
[08:15] <firestorm> Hi there. Running gnome and want to know how I can start an application (eg mythfrontend) automatically in the 2nd workspace instead of the current/default workspace?
[08:16] <ingsoc> Looked through forums and i belive some one was mentioning adding a line or two when installing the alsa packaged, but it came installed already
[08:17] <Nallep> firestorm you can look into devilspie
[08:18] <Nallep> !devilspie | firestorm
[08:18] <legend2440> ingsoc: alsamixer is included in   alsa-utils package  do you have it installed?
[08:18] <firestorm> Nallep: excellent I am bringing down the DEB now to check it out
[08:18] <ingsoc> I got all the alsa packages installed
[08:19] <firestorm> Nallep: wow, s-expressions...haven't seen those since my lisp AI days!
[08:19] <ingsoc> Would that cause any conflics?
[08:19] <jp91> i saved that and restarted and ubuntu went into low graphics mode
[08:19] <Nallep> firestorm: ya, it takes some scripting, but you can really set up all your windows automagically any way you want
[08:20] <ingsoc> gaim
[08:20] <jp91> i can't get a resolution over 640 x 480 now but at least it's not blurry right now ugh my brain
[08:21] <ingsoc> Heheh yeah i just delt with that.... some how trying to test my sounds froze my machine and when i reboted wouldnt let me go past 640 480
[08:22] <K-4U> good morning, anyone here who can tell me what the system requirements are of the Kubuntu KDE4 8.04?
[08:22] <ikonia> "modern" cpu, 256 ram
[08:22] <drog> K-4U, what system are you running?
[08:22] <K-4U> drog: Pentium 2, 266 Mhz, 192 MB ram
[08:22] <ikonia> K-4U: thats official, but to be usable, I think you'd be looking at a solid video card with supported drivers and 512 ram
[08:23] <ikonia> K-4U: thats going to be lacking
[08:23] <K-4U> im thinking about using openbox as a window manager, but i need a good base
[08:23] <K-4U> (no, i do not want to try DSL)
[08:23] <ikonia> K-4U: your lacking ram for ubuntu modern releases to be honest
[08:23] <drog> K-4U, I'm trashing 2 systems that are exponentially better, if you want to swing by and pick them up I'd be more than happy to donate adequate hardware to your cause
[08:24] <maco> K-4U: you just described my debian system
[08:24] <drog> K-4U, you're lacking cpu power and ram for modern software in general
[08:24] <Stupendoussteve> drog, modern software runs fine on 233MHz... just depends what you define as modern
[08:25] <K-4U> drog: i already had Xubuntu 8.04 running, with openbox as WM
[08:25] <maco> K-4U: i have debian etch (a bit lighter than ubuntu) with enlightenment 17 that i compiled for it
[08:25] <Stupendoussteve> K-4U, why change? It will not like KDE much
[08:25] <maco> K-4U: on the same hardware
[08:25] <ingsoc> outbackwifi ?
[08:26] <bustaplz> Anyone know any good open source PDF editors?
[08:26] <drog> K-4U, I will seriously give you, free of charge, a 1.8Ghz athlonxp on an a7v8x with roughly 1.5GB ram
[08:26] <ikonia> drog: he's in a different country
[08:26] <ingsoc> drog XD almost better then my machine
[08:26] <Stupendoussteve> Holy crap that's better than my other system
[08:27] <drog> why do you people have such horrid hardware?
[08:27] <Stupendoussteve> Which is forced to run icemw
[08:27] <ingsoc> Broke
[08:27] <K-4U> drog: yes, i'm from another country, but thnx for the offer ;)
[08:27] <ingsoc> Spend all my money on my offroading machine XD
[08:27] <Stupendoussteve> poor 24mb ram
[08:27] <drog> I'm running a c2d E6300 @ 2.8Ghz w/ 4gb ram and I'm still behind the times
[08:27] <ingsoc> 1.2gig ram XD
[08:28] <tobiasu> new hardware - the reason why ubuntu is so ugly and bloated
[08:28] <ingsoc> sopose i should fill in thoes other 2 bays
[08:28] <drog> tobiasu, old hardware - the reason why people think software is bloated
[08:28] <ikonia> gents, lets not discuss this
[08:29] <drog> if you want less features, use fluxbox or openbox or icewm or xfce
[08:29] <ingsoc> Seriously give any one here a dollar if they find the coprate to my no sound issue XD
[08:29] <ingsoc> ...Well a us dollar aint worth much any more but still.....
[08:29] <dexter> jsp is the best
[08:29] <Stupendoussteve> Yeah by the time we get it it'll be worth 50 cents
[08:29] <ingsoc> Thiunk you can get it done in a minut?
[08:30] <ingsoc> hehehe hats of to you
[08:30] <sorsis> if maxmimum packet size is tweaked too high, does that allos DoS?
[08:30] <ikonia> sorsis: depends on he exploit
[08:31] <drog> but seriously, if some one wants to take 2 athlonxp's 1.6+1.8Ghz with 2 socket a boards with around 2 gb ram total, pm me
[08:32] <jp91> my video is still blurry, sharper near the left and ride sides, blurry in the middle

[08:37] <Flannel> kk_ubuntu: the easiest way is to do it on boot. to force one: `sudo touch /forcefsck` and then the next time you boot, you'll check the disks
[08:37] <ziroday> ronzilla: sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings
[08:37] <ronzilla> ty
[08:37] <ikonia> ronzilla: open the package manager and install the nvidia-settings package

[08:37] <digitalfallacy> sudo get-apt install glx-new
[08:37] <indian_munnda> can anyone tell me howmuch gparted normally takes in resizing a partition????
[08:37] <ikonia> indian_munnda: pardon ?
[08:37] <sorsis> jp91: is it only in linux or is it also in other operating systems? could it be that you screen is a bit old and problem is hardware related?
[08:37] <ikonia> indian_munnda: how much what ?

[08:37] <digitalfallacy> sorry sudo apt-get install glx-new

[08:38] <digitalfallacy> this is the command
[08:38] <jp91> sorsis: no it was very clear in xp
[08:38] <ikonia> indian_munnda: depends on the speed of the machine, the size of the disk and how full it is
[08:38] <WIGGMPk> indian_munnda: depends on the size of the partition, speed of the drive, system stats
[08:38] <tdawgedogg> is alt f2 supposed to open run application?

[08:39] <drog> right click the menu and hit edit menu

[08:39] <knut_> ikonia: i want something that looks like gparted or so
[08:39] <ikonia> knut_: no then
[08:39] <Flannel> vertisvas: How did you remove them?
[08:39] <knut_> :)
[08:39] <jp91> sorsis: in monitor resolution settings it says unknown, but it's set to the native resolution but i'm not sure what the resolution is
[08:40] <vertisvas> Flannel: I removed them via synaptic
[08:40] <drog> unitedpotsmokers, my previous comment was for you
[08:40] <Flannel> vertisvas: hmm, well, it should remove them.  If they're still there, let me know and we'll take a look at everything.
[08:40] <jp91> sorsis: when i press the menu button on the front of the monitor it says 87hz but there is no option for 87hz in the resolution settings in ubuntu
