[12:00] <HappyFool> intelikey: presumably no or limited javascript is part of the price of running a light-weight browser
[12:00] <joh> Guys and Gals, I'm having some trouble getting GL to work on ATI (fglrx). The fgrlx module loads, but `fglrxinfo` shows Mesa as the OpenGL vendor. Also, `glxinfo' shows "direct rendering: No". Any ideas on what could be wrong? Obviously, it's loading mesa's GL libraries instead of ATI's, but as far as I can see, /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 points to the correct library.
[12:01] <darkheart> HappyFool That's kinda lame about apt-get. Can't even find a switch to get it to include dependencies.
[12:01] <erUSUL> intelikey, if you want a standalone js interpreter try rhino
[12:01] <HappyFool> joh: you've updated /etc/X11/xorg.conf to load appropriate X modules ?
[12:01] <darkheart> XIII Try using aptitude then as per HappyFool's suggestion.
[12:02] <HappyFool> darkheart: hence aptitude
[12:02] <joh> HappyFool: yes, it's loading the fglrx module.
[12:02] <HappyFool> XIII: also look at 'deborphan'
[12:02] <j0nas`> joh: i am trying the ati install right now too
[12:02] <joh> HappyFool: It even says (II) fglrx(0): Direct rendering enabled
[12:02] <j0nas`> joh: after installing all the .deb packages i cant see the aticonfig program or the fglrxinfo program
[12:03] <HappyFool> joh: hrm. how about uninstalling mesa? or does that break dependencies?
[12:03] <St^Anger^19m> know of any guides to start designing desktop wallpapers?
[12:03] <j0nas`> joh: what have i done wrong?
[12:03] <joh> j0nas`: it's here alright. You need xorg-driver-fglrx too
[12:03] <erUSUL> intelikey, or from mozilla http://www.mozilla.org/js/spidermonkey/
[12:03] <j0nas`> joh: install through synaptic?
[12:03] <darkheart> HappyFool My point is whoever designed apt-get should have thought of simple functionality like that.
[12:03] <Nail_Bunny> im having troubles using wine to install counter strik source, althought the text does not show (it says MS_Sans Serif) but i know the install like the back of my hand, so to speak, but i cannot go any further, i know it works on linux because it is on the list of games, but i need to know, if any one installed it and can help, or if there happesn to be an easier way?
[12:04] <j0nas`> or the generated one?
[12:04] <joh> HappyFool: it sure does. No ubuntu-desktop, x-server or openoffice for me then :\
[12:04] <joh> j0nas`: sure
[12:04] <XIII> HappyFool how can i use aptitude?
[12:04] <j0nas`> joh: i installed the generated one and i dont see those programs
[12:04] <darkheart> St^Anger^19m That's what google is for...You'll find thousands of pages.
[12:04] <joh> j0nas`: did you install xorg-driver-fglrx?
[12:04] <St^Anger^19m> darkheart, i'm  trying :(
[12:04] <HappyFool> XIII: like you would use apt-get. It won't help you in this case if you didn't *install* with aptitude too
[12:04] <j0nas`> joh: yes
[12:04] <darkheart> St^Anger^19m Try googling: gimp tutorial beginner
[12:04] <joh> j0nas`: they should be there then... `fglrxinfo' doesn't work?
[12:04] <j0nas`> no, its not found
[12:05] <joh> HappyFool: any ideas?
[12:05] <XIII> ok, thnx for ur help
[12:05] <darkheart> St^Anger^19m Wow, what do you know. The actual GIMP site has tutorials. =)
[12:05] <joh> j0nas`: ls /usr/bin/fglrxinfo
[12:05] <j0nas`> joh: i just tried the following: udo dpkg -i xorg-driver-fglrx_8.18.6-1_i386.deb
[12:05] <j0nas`> sudo*
[12:05] <joh> j0nas`: sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx
[12:05] <darkheart> HappyFool aptitude maintains it's own DB for un/installs?
[12:05] <HappyFool> joh: sorry, no. i'm not an X guru and i don't have ati anyway
[12:06] <HappyFool> darkheart: i guess has to
[12:06] <St^Anger^19m> darkheart, thanks :D
[12:06] <HappyFool> darkheart: there's a /var/lib/aptitude, maybe it's there
[12:06] <St^Anger^19m> i found some stuff now
[12:06] <darkheart> HappyFool I guess I can see how it has different functionality then. I figured there was a db that libapt kept that all progs (apt-get,aptitude, etc) referred to.
[12:06] <j0nas`> joh: says "xorg-driver-fglrx is already the newest version."
 MP3s now working!
[12:09] <indypende> the "how to configure sound to work properly in gnome" section of the unoffcial starter guide it's needed in breezy?
[12:09] <Nail_Bunny> anyone know how to download MS Sans_Serif_80 font and install it?
[12:09] <j0nas`> joh: it says "Reinstallation of xorg-driver-fglrx is not possible, it cannot be downloaded."
[12:09] <HappyFool> indypende: check out the 'official' starter guide

[12:10] <maxkelley> Hey, I'm trying to install fluxbox on ubuntu breezy, and it claims I don't have X....
[12:10] <joh> j0nas`: well, there you go :P do you have the restricted repositories enabled?
[12:10] <bullraiser> hi gentle peoples, i'm trying to change the resolution of my Gnome to more than 1024x768. But, theres no option that allows me to configure this, though in my windows dual boot, i can maximise to more resolution. Does anyone know how to change and increase the screen resolution pls?
[12:10] <erUSUL> Nail_Bunny, msttcorefonts
[12:10] <indypende> HappyFool, ok but the section "how to [...]  sound in gnome" there is not! i don't need to modify nothing?
[12:10] <maxkelley> well, no, lemme explain better
[12:10] <j0nas`> joh: yes all but backports
[12:10] <maxkelley> I'm trying to install fluxbox, which requires imlib2
[12:10] <maxkelley> imlib2 says I don't have X :P
[12:11] <maxkelley> can someone help?
[12:11] <Distro^Junkie> hmmm how come my multimedia keyboard works in gnome but not in kde ?
[12:11] <jareth_> mawe: ur there?
[12:11] <Distro^Junkie> could turn volume up and down
[12:11] <mawe> yes
[12:11] <puff> If I apt-get remove mozilla-firefox, and then apt-get instll mozilla-firefox, will my bookmarks still be there?
[12:11] <HappyFool> indypende: if your sound is working, i would guess no
[12:11] <mawe> jareth_: did it work?
[12:11] <Nail_Bunny> erUSUL it says its already the newest one, but the program still says SAN_Serif80
[12:11] <jareth_> don't know
[12:12] <bullraiser> hi gentle peoples, i'm trying to change the resolution of my Gnome to more than 1024x768. But, theres no option that allows me to configure this, though in my windows dual boot, i can maximise to more resolution. Does anyone know how to change and increase the screen resolution pls >> Can anyone help me regarding this?
[12:12] <holycow> puff, yes, to be sure backup your .mozilla directory in your home folder
[12:12] <puff> bullraiser: In the GUI, System/Preferences/Screen Resolution, will pop up a dialog to change that.  I'd be interested in learning how to do it from the shell, myself.
[12:12] <puff> holycow:  Thank you.
[12:13] <erUSUL> Nail_Bunny, what program? if you can get the *ttf for the font you can just copy it to ~/.fonts
[12:13] <puff> Hm, aptitude doesn't seem to have an equivalent to --reinstall.
[12:13] <nalioth> ubotu: tell bullraiser about fixres
[12:13] <maxkelley> meh
[12:13] <jareth_> mawe: msg me plz
[12:14] <bullraiser> nalioth: Thanks will look into that. If I couldnt change, will come back again.
[12:14] <puff> Oh, it's aptitude reinstall
[12:14] <Nail_Bunny> erUSUL well im trying to install Counter Strike Source, and instead of the norm text it just says SAN_Serif80
[12:14] <bullraiser> puff: I can see the option from the System/Preferences/Screen Resolution, but it doesnt allow me to change more than 1024x768
[12:14] <nalioth> bullraiser: follow the guide the bot sent you
[12:15] <nalioth> bullraiser: if it doesn work, we have other ways
[12:15] <N6REJ> I'm having a problem configuring postfix guys n gals.... I'm trying to follow the directions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PostFix?highlight=%28postfix%29 and I'm on step two and it says ... mkdir: invalid option -- r
[12:15] <N6REJ> when I type the command in step 2 ... mkdir -p /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd rm -fr /var/run/saslauthd }}}
[12:15] <N6REJ> What am I doing wrong?
[12:15] <erUSUL> Nail_Bunny, i think i can not help you. Maybe asking in a cs chanel or forum?
[12:15] <bullraiser> nalioth: Thanks mate. Will get back, if i struggle
[12:15] <darkheart> N6REJ That's 2 separate commands
[12:15] <sven-tex> anyone seen wine 0.9 packages for ubuntu?
[12:16] <N6REJ> grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.... ok.
[12:16] <N6REJ> ty
[12:16] <puff> bullraiser: Odd.. normally that would lead me to conclude that 1024x768 is the max your card will support.
[12:16] <N6REJ> I'm gonna see if I can fix that wiki!
[12:16] <darkheart> N6REJ Should be a ; between them. Did you run them on separate lines? If so, that's fine.
[12:16] <N6REJ> no I ran them all at once
[12:16] <bullraiser> puff: But, as said i can maximise to more higher resolution when i reboot to Win XP.
[12:17] <puff> nalioth: How do you adjust resolution from the shell?
[12:17] <bullraiser> so, i can be sure that my video driver/card supports higher resolution
[12:17] <puff> bullraiser: eah, I siad "normally"
[12:17] <N6REJ> ok, that did it.. now I'll try to fix the wiki... ty for the information to fix it.
[12:17] <nalioth> puff: i fine "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" works well for me
[12:17] <darkheart> N6REJ Np.
[12:18] <mrmarcel> hi
[12:18] <N6REJ> hey, its correct in the wiki editor... wth?
[12:18] <bluefoxicy> fuck
[12:18] <bluefoxicy> ctrl+alt+f1 freezes X interminably
[12:18] <intelikey> N6REJ "mkdir -p /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd ;rm -fr /var/run/saslauthd"  the semicolen seperates the two commands like hitting the return key between them.
[12:19] <N6REJ> what do the 3 } do?
[12:19] <darkheart> N6REJ Cause problems, most likely.
[12:19] <bullraiser> apt-get install 855resolution
[12:19] <bullraiser> Reading package lists... Done
[12:19] <bullraiser> Building dependency tree... Done
[12:19] <bullraiser> E: Couldn't find package 855resolution

[12:20] <cimo> come faccio a far funzionare alice gate su ubuntu ???
[12:20] <bullraiser> what does this mean??
[12:20] <darkheart> !it
[12:20] <intelikey> unless they are part of the inode name, i have no idea why they are there.
[12:20] <ubotu> italiano es #ubuntu-it per favore, andiamo! Grazi ... prego! :-)
[12:20] <linlin> i did sudo apt-get install openssl and it installed, still wont ./configure
[12:20] <N6REJ> lol.. I know zip about postfix
[12:20] <puff> Odd, okay, aptitude reinstall mozilla-firefox didn't fix the issue.
[12:21] <UnL0cK> my sudo make doesnt works :S
[12:21] <puff> So maybe i need to go all the way and aptitude remove, then aptitude install.
[12:21] <maxkelley> UnL0cK, don't worry, mine doesn't either :)
[12:21] <erUSUL> bullraiser, Couldn't find package 855resolution . It could not find the package ;). Check the name of the package and the repositories you are using
[12:21] <maxkelley> UnL0cK, welcome to the club :)]
[12:21] <puff> Question;  if I do this, will I have to jump through all of the hoops to get the drivers, etc, again?
[12:21] <nalioth> !ita
[12:21] <ubotu> ita is, like, totally, italiano es #ubuntu-it per favore, andiamo! Grazi ... prego! :-)
[12:21] <UnL0cK> lol maxkelle1
[12:22] <UnL0cK> but i need it to install wifi drivers :(
[12:22] <nalioth> bullraiser: please dont paste in here
[12:22] <maxkelley> what wifi card?
[12:22] <ompaul> bullraiser, it means you pasted in the channel, use paste.ubuntulinux.nl and the error means you do not have universe enabled
[12:22] <ompaul> !tell bullraiser about repos
[12:22] <maxkelley> UnL0cK, what wifi card?
[12:23] <bullraiser> nalioth: ok, would take care in future
[12:23] <bullraiser> ompaul: thanks, would have a look into that
[12:23] <boci^> :(
[12:23] <boci^> I can't boot in my Mac
[12:23] <ompaul> bullraiser, the bot ubotu has told you how do look after that

[12:24] <boci^> nalioth: not work... I tried...  but it's show a blinking "mac face" / "?"
[12:24] <nalioth> bullraiser: it's in the repos msg ubotu sent you
[12:25] <bullraiser> ok

[12:28] <dabaR> odat: depending on how good information you provide. I do not feel like probing too much, I can try helping you.
[12:29] <puff> Dang... okayt, so "aptitude remove mozilla-firefox;  aptitude install mozilla-firefox" failed to fix this problem.
[12:29] <odat> dabaR, I can not seem to acces my floppy drive or my card readers
[12:29] <dabaR> puff: whats the problem?
[12:29] <bulio> hi

[12:30] <bulio> IBM thinkpad R30
[12:30] <bulio> should work?
[12:30] <boci^> and I want to install Ubuntu but I can't boot from cd
[12:30] <bulio> in ubuntu
[12:30] <puff>  dabaR: firefox doesn't start, just silently fails to start, unless I add -verbose, or -profilemanager, or -safe-mode
[12:30] <odat> dabaR, any suggestions?
[12:30] <dabaR> bulio: run "sudo pppoeconf" in a terminal.
[12:30] <nalioth> boci^: sounds like you have hardware problems. is your cd drive functional?
[12:30] <dabaR> odat: yes, run gnome-volume-manager in a terminal
[12:31] <boci^> nalioth: yes
[12:31] <boci^> nalioth: It's try to load it's blinking , but no effect
[12:31] <dabaR> puff: well, for some relevant info run sudo aptitude search firefox, and tell me what you have learned.
[12:31] <puff> dabaR: I was installing several extensions.  Had installed them, had not yet restarted.  Ubuntu crashed.
[12:31] <odat> dabaR, this is what i get ** (gnome-volume-manager:7820): WARNING **: manager.c/2199: already running?
[12:31] <boci^> nalioth: in OF I try to boot it's say: boot init label package falied
[12:32] <Stranger> Virtuall a    ?
[12:32] <Stranger>  ?
[12:32] <Stranger> :>
[12:32] <dabaR> odat: good, so you say a card reader hey? does it usually mount nicely?
[12:32] <puff> dabaR: A zillion mozilla-firefox packages, mostly locales.
[12:32] <nalioth> boci^: try burning your cd again
[12:32] <dabaR> puff: read the descriptions of the firefox, and of the mozilla-firefox packages
[12:32] <nalioth> ubotu: tell boci^ about verify
[12:32] <intelikey> well it looks like ubuntu is too bloated to run a gui on this small of a box.   i'm going to try to trim ship, and will probably break the system in the process.  but this install of ubuntu lasted a littlo over 25 hours.   that's a record....  :)
[12:32] <odat> dabaR,  it my floppy too when i insert a floppy nothing happens and i can access any other way either
[12:32] <boci^> nalioth: okbut the MacOS cd same not booting...
[12:33] <puff> dabaR:  "lightweight web browser based on mozilla"
[12:33] <dabaR> odat: did it ever mount either?
[12:33] <dabaR> puff I can do it myself, you read it.
[12:33] <odat> dabaR, no
[12:33] <puff> There is no "firefox" package, just a "mozilla-firefox" package.
[12:33] <holycow> puff, thats what it is actually called yes
[12:33] <boci^> nalioth: ok I try...
[12:33] <puff> dabaR: I get the point that you're trying some sort of socratic method here, but maybe you could just point what detail it is I've overlooked"?
[12:33] <dabaR> puff: what version of ubuntu then? hoary?
[12:33] <budluva> how do i install an x11 cursor theme from gnome-look? i tried dragging the index.theme into the cursor theme window but that didnt work, and i cant see install theme anywhere, any clues?
[12:34] <puff> Yup.
[12:34] <puff> dabaR: Hoary.
[12:34] <dabaR> puff: nice.
[12:34] <dabaR> the socratic method comment
[12:34] <dabaR> and it worked, then you did the above, and it no longer works?
[12:34] <puff> dabaR: I don't mean to be offensive, but I *have* been trying to solve this for an hour or two now.
[12:35] <_native_> im having trouble getting a toshset script running at boot. when i place the script in /etc/init.d and link it to rcS.d it dose not start at boot.
[12:35] <dabaR> not at all offensive, I like the comment
[12:35] <puff> Yes, it worked, then I did the above, and it now no longer works.
[12:35] <puff> I've been keeping a journal about this, I can paste it to pastebin if you want ot review what I've tried.
[12:35] <dabaR> odat: well, if it never mounted, what makes you think it works, have you read the wiki or the forums?
[12:35] <dabaR> puff: that is a good idea, always post that
[12:36] <odat> dabaR, lol k
[12:36] <odat> dabaR, thanx i guess
[12:36] <holycow> puff, what is the issue, ff fails too start? you have too many extensions right?
[12:36] <dabaR> odat: search the forums, and the wiki first, there is a hw support section
[12:37] <holycow> if so, move your .mozilla dir from your home directory and restart firefox
[12:37] <puff> http://pastebin.com/409457
[12:37] <dabaR> why do you use firefox in linux? cauuse of the extensions?
[12:37] <puff> dabaR: Firefox as opposed to?
[12:37] <dabaR> maud_dib is here...
[12:37] <puff> holycow: I have no extensi0ons at all.
[12:37] <dabaR> well, I use epiphany,...
[12:38] <reiki> I use firefoxcause I was used to it. What else should I use instead? :)
[12:38] <holycow> puff, still mover your .mozilla folder and restart
[12:38] <dabaR> but its based on the same engine, just gtk all the way, and that, the debian sensible browser.
[12:38] <holycow> if that doesn't work, remove the .mozilla folder apt-get remove --purge mozilla-firefox and then reinstall it.  and it will work
[12:38] <holycow> oh one more thing to watch out for
[12:39] <holycow> /usr/bin/mozilla-firefox folder
[12:39] <puff> holycow: Same behavior...
[12:39] <holycow> sometimes extensions place them selves in there
[12:39] <puff> dabaR: epiphany?
[12:39] <holycow> delete any plugins/extensions that are in there
[12:39] <reiki> is there an "official" Ubuntu browser? I had kinda assumed that's why is came with firefox.... or did I add firefox... darn now I can't remember
[12:39] <Ng> reiki: it comes with firefox
[12:40] <dabaR> fx is there, by default. epiphany-browser is small, quick to install,
[12:40] <reiki> Ng: thanks... getting old is terrible :)
[12:40] <holycow> reiki, no there are official desktop browsers.  for kde its konqueror, for gnome its now just down to epiphany
[12:40] <Xeromem> can anyone help me please
[12:40] <dabaR> and openbox, but I use ubuntu diff than the default:-/
[12:40] <Xeromem> im new at linux
[12:40] <dabaR> what do yiou need help with? ask.
[12:40] <Xeromem> ok, i have 2 pc's
[12:40] <Xeromem> first one is this (ubuntu)
[12:40] <dabaR> i have 2 too cool
[12:41] <dabaR> mine too
[12:41] <Xeromem> it has 2 ethernet cards
[12:41] <reiki> hmmm... ok I'm open to new things... maybe I'll just go install epiphany and take a look-see
[12:41] <needhelp> good evening all
[12:41] <Xeromem> 1 gets internet connection
[12:41] <dabaR> its sensible, you get used to it.
[12:41] <dabaR> the ubuntu, right?
[12:41] <Xeromem> and other connects to my other pc (which is with windows xp)
[12:41] <Xeromem> now the problem is, i cant acces the internet with windows-pc
[12:41] <WebLOCH> get guys
[12:41] <holycow> puff, sorry gave you the wrong path, its also /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox
[12:42] <dabaR> so, you want it to give it an IP address, and dns, and ip forwarding, right?
[12:42] <jvai> ubuntu rocks.. & i'm on hoary... wait till i get to breezy
[12:42] <holycow> delete everything from that extensions folder there
[12:42] <dabaR> jvai: dont even upgrade, breezy is buggy
[12:42] <Xeromem> not exactly
[12:42] <dabaR> or whatever, epiphany and openbox aren't
[12:42] <needhelp> i am new to linux...and i wanted to learn it , so a friend recommended and installed ubuntu on my laptop..i did a mistake and removed lilo...now i cant boot into linux..i have winxp installed in hdc1,ubuntu on hdc2..anyone like to help plz..i have knoppix live cd.
[12:42] <Xeromem> i just want to share my connection, same ip is no problem
[12:42] <WebLOCH> I need some help with environment variables if anyone has a minute ?
[12:43] <puff> holycow, dabaR, thanks, I'll try those steps next, but I think right noiw I'm going to go get something to eat, come back to this in an hour with fresh focus.
[12:43] <puff> I'm also going to try to find time to try upgraidng this weekend.
[12:43] <puff> To breezy.
[12:43] <holycow> puff, no problem, with linux it seems impossible at first ...
[12:44] <K-Mode> Xeromen - best Thing To Do Is Buy A Cheap Router
[12:44] <holycow> ... but what happens is when you learn where everything is it's a snap to solve stuff in the future
[12:44] <puff> The main problem being that I'm parnid and I want to backup, first.
[12:44] <puff> Iwish I'd bought an IBM full dock for this thinkpad, instead of a minidock.
[12:44] <dabaR> Xeromem: no, you want a dnsmask, and ipmask package on the ubuntu running,
[12:44] <WebLOCH> I have tried to add a variable to my set of environment variables by editing /etc/profile because i wanted to set it system-wide, once i log in however the variable no longer exists, but if i hit "ctrl alt f1" and check from the terminal it does exist, I have tried rebooting... can anyone help?
[12:44] <holycow> puff, indeed, always step #1, lots of times we give advice and people end up hosing their data because they aren't paranoid enough
[12:44] <puff> Didn't occur to me before, but I could put a large HD in the dock (it has a spare bay) and use that ot make daily backups of the laptop drive.
[12:44] <dabaR> is this in bash?
[12:44] <Xeromem> they said i could share my connection using a firewall called firestarter
[12:44] <WebLOCH> dabaR, it is
[12:44] <Xeromem> but it seems like it doesn't work
[12:45] <dabaR> so... /etc/bash.bashrc.
[12:45] <lucis> Hi, I'm trying to install RealPlayer on ubuntu. I tried the installer listed in some repositories but apparently it doesn't work anymore.
[12:45] <puff> holycow: I think iut's generally true that people forget much of the learning pains, things they've learned, gotchas they've gotten used to avoiding.  That's why I'm trying to keep a journal of my ubuntu experience, hopefully it'll help somebody else get started.
[12:45] <holycow> puff, lots of ways to backup.  mostly you just need to copy your home dir to the other hd and your done
[12:45] <puff> Yaeah... I just thought, it'd be a really nice & easy wy.
[12:45] <holycow> puff, excellent idea, windows people forget they have 15 years of training
[12:45] <puff> I have a LaCie 250GB USB drive, which will be slow, but.
[12:45] <jvai> <---*stickin w/ hoary*
[12:46] <holycow> puff, backing up linux is super easy, i truly love it
[12:46] <needhelp> i am new to linux...and i wanted to learn it , so a friend recommended and installed ubuntu on my laptop..i did a mistake and removed lilo...now i cant boot into linux..i have winxp installed in hdc1,ubuntu on hdc2..anyone like to help plz..i have knoppix live cd.
[12:46] <lucis> Hoary is so whorey.
[12:46] <holycow> needhelp, he installed lilo as  your bootloader? yuck
[12:46] <puff> holycow: Yeah, I used to work in a computing lab, back in college, the university made thelabs generally available to everybody the srecond year I worked there.  Interesting learning experience for me.  "This is a mouse.  This is a pointer.  This is dragging.  This is clicking.  This is double-clicking."
  What's the preferred backup method?
[12:47] <needhelp> hmm
[12:47] <needhelp> intelikey no its hdc1 and hdc2..and that im 1000% sure :)
[12:47] <lucis> So no one can help me install realplayer?
[12:48] <dabaR> you asked a minute ago...
[12:48] <holycow> puff, depends on the circumstances and needs frankly.  for home systems a simple copy of the home dir is really that is necessary imho because you can always fresh install something
[12:48] <erUSUL> needhelp, boot whith knoppix an chroot to the ubuntu then run grub-install
[12:48] <puff> lucis: I had that problem too, the ubuntu realplayer installer package I tried wanted to use an earlier version  of the RealPlayer installer from RealPlayer, I couldn't find it, so I just gave up for now.
[12:48] <erUSUL> and*
[12:48] <lucis> Puff, yeah, thats what I got.
[12:48] <intelikey> see post above ^   "could be."  only you can tell for sure.
[12:48] <puff> holycow: True... but I use this laptop for work, too, so I'd like to have some sort of "bare metal backup" option.
[12:48] <holycow> puff, or you can put home dir in another partition as well to keep things a little safer
[12:48] <needhelp> intelikey yes mate thx
[12:48] <puff> holycow: If I end up reinstalling, I'd like to do that.
[12:48] <Xeromem> so is there no way to share my internet connection??? :
[12:48] <Xeromem> :(
[12:48] <needhelp> erUSUL hold on plz
[12:48] <puff> Put /home in a separate parittion, tha tis.
[12:49] <dabaR> and what servers?
[12:49] <needhelp> i am running knoppix live cd as we speak
[12:49] <WebLOCH> dabaR, thats not very specific, what exactly are you suggesting?
[12:49] <darkheart> puff There are a lot of bare metal backup type deals. Google for them, should turn up a number of results.
[12:49] <jvai> is there such a thing as *vlc plug-ins for totem* just for the stregnth of the wmp compatability?
[12:49] <dabaR> WebLOCH: what did you try?
[12:49] <needhelp> and im entering root shell
[12:49] <WebLOCH> dabaR, editing profile
[12:50] <holycow> puff, well that still depends.  there is a linux ghost app that you can use, you can still just backup home and reinstall from cd which, or you can dd your entire partition space to an image, and dd it back to hd if something goes wrong
[12:50] <dabaR> nono, change that file I told you, add the variable there.
[12:50] <needhelp> erUSUL i did apt-get install grub
[12:50] <holycow> puff, there are also tons and tons of backup options such as bacula for professional remote backups
[12:50] <needhelp> and its installed
[12:50] <needhelp> now what?
[12:50] <holycow> puff, you will need to research the options to pick the one that suits your needs
[12:50] <jvai> i want to make totem act on par to what winmp does for windows
[12:50] <WebLOCH> dabaR, just slap it in anywhere?  Do i need to include the "export" line still ?
[12:50] <puff> holycow: Okay, thanks for the advice.
[12:50] <dabaR> WebLOCH: whatever
[12:50] <erUSUL> needhelp, you are now on ubuntu?
[12:50] <St^Anger^19m> how do i get the "Layers, Channels, Paths" dialogue in GIMP?
[12:51] <dabaR> try already
[12:51] <indypende> anyone using glabels to print cd/dvd cover? i can't do it...
[12:51] <puff> holycow: I'dlike to read up on the dd option, seems like it'd be a good thing to know for use in a pinch.
[12:51] <puff> G'night all.
[12:51] <erUSUL> needhelp, or in the knoppix livecd
[12:51] <holycow> St^Anger^19m, CTRL/L
[12:51] <erUSUL> ?
[12:51] <WebLOCH> dabaR, i find it strange that you directed me to be more specific when i was just being polite and now you are being particularly unspecific
[12:51] <holycow> puff, very usefull indeed
[12:51] <needhelp> knoppix
[12:51] <stock> in the ubuntu apt repositories, are there no packages for the -mm patchset to the kernel?
[12:51] <St^Anger^19m> holycow, 10q
[12:52] <holycow> WebLOCH, rofl :) welcome to linux
[12:52] <holycow> hehehe
[12:52] <holycow> St^Anger^19m, no worries
[12:52] <erUSUL> needhelp, where is ubuntu installed in the hd?
[12:52] <WebLOCH> holycow, tell me about it
[12:52] <needhelp> but i went into the ubunti partition and ran apt-get install grub
[12:52] <needhelp> hdc2
[12:52] <holycow> erUSUL, well on the hd, what do you mean exactly where?
[12:52] <zer0bytecode> #ubuntu
[12:52] <erUSUL> needhelp, you need to mount the root partition of ubuntu
[12:52] <needhelp> holycow he means which partition
[12:52] <holycow> oh :)
[12:52] <erUSUL> needhelp, hda1 or hda3...
[12:52] <holycow> yeah what needhelp said :)
[12:53] <needhelp> erUSUL ok how do i mount it?
[12:53] <odat> can't mount floppy drive can anyone help?
[12:53] <UnL0cK> omg
[12:53] <jvai> i show off the *mutiple workspaces* to windows users when @ work... so fukkin kewl. i got as many as six peeps using my shyt @ a tyme
[12:53] <holycow> erUSUL, aslo if you want to find out manually in terminal do sudo fdisk -l
[12:53] <UnL0cK> this can't be possible
[12:53] <UnL0cK> http://pastebin.com/409471
[12:53] <holycow> erUSUL, that should tell you a lot about the partition space on the hd
[12:53] <UnL0cK> i cant be so unlucky
[12:53] <UnL0cK> i updated gcc and everything
[12:53] <UnL0cK> it just wont work
[12:54] <jvai> i found that u can create as many as 36!! workspaces?? why?
[12:54] <zer0bytecode> hey I am new and I am trying to make a new user account, I went to admin users and groups and tryied to make one but when i try to login it says chase must be same you know . Can any one help
[12:54] <erUSUL> needhelp, surely knoppix have put icons in the desktop to mount it
[12:54] <darkheart> jvai Because 36 is better than 1.
[12:54] <holycow> jvai, because not everyone needs just 1 like on windows, or default 4 like on kde/gnome.
[12:54] <needhelp> erUSUL this is what i have in the command window  root@0[hdc2] :
[12:54] <puff> darkheart: Oh, thank you for the advice, too (re: bare metal backup).
[12:55] <needhelp> ubuntu is in hdc2
[12:55] <jvai> lol!! i hear u dark
[12:55] <boci^> nalioth: not work :(
[12:55] <tarek_> where can i get the msttcorefonts package ?
[12:55] <UnL0cK> zer0bytecode,  use the password for your current user
[12:55] <darkheart> puff Np. Linux is easy to back up, especially if you are just an end-user, but there are many tools already made to restore bare metal boxes.
[12:55] <erUSUL> needhelp,  can you see the files of the ubuntu instalation?
[12:55] <jvai> multiple workspaces rok!
[12:55] <boci^> nalioth: but I not see in the disk0 in the ata-3
[12:55] <needhelp> yes
[12:55] <holycow> darkheart, i haveto say that is actually one of my favourite things about linux
[12:55] <needhelp> i can when i use kde
[12:55] <zer0bytecode> so i make and account but give the new account the same pass
[12:55] <needhelp> or konquerer
[12:56] <darkheart> puff All I do is keep my /home on a separate partition and don't format it during the install...if I want system settings, tar up /etc and then untar it in the new install
[12:56] <needhelp> i can see etc for example and boot
[12:56] <erUSUL> needhelp, run pwd
[12:56] <darkheart> holycow Definitely. I'm never worried about screwing up my system.
[12:56] <needhelp>  i got /mnt/hdc2
[12:56] <puff> 'night all.
[12:57] <jvai> i need to find an orinoco wifi card supplier, i luk'd up on 1... & i dot want ANYTHING happening to this 1
[12:57] <erUSUL> needhelp, right now run chroot /mnt/hdc2
[12:57] <holycow> darkheart, that is exactly the weirdness i've become accustomed to as well.  i cannot go back to win simply for those reasons
[12:57] <kanako> installing ubuntu.. what should my mount point be for the ubuntu partition? /? i just want one linux partition (not counting swap)
[12:58] <intelikey> erUSUL "lilo -r /mnt/hdc2 "   duh.
[12:58] <tarek_> where can i get the msttcorefonts package ?
[12:58] <needhelp> bash: /dev/null :permission denied
[12:58] <zer0bytecode> hey I am trying to make a new account can someone help
[12:58] <crimsun> tarek_: in multiverse
[12:58] <darkheart> holycow hehe, yeah. Only thing I miss windows for is playing games. However, I do have a folder that moves around and has gone through about 10 different boxes, Linux/windows/BSD
[12:58] <stock> zer0bytecode, try 'adduser'
[12:58] <erUSUL> intelikey, if needhelp has an ubuntu instalation it is usin grub not lilo
[12:59] <tarek_> ok than crimsum
[12:59] <darkheart> holycow It helps when you have a Linux server that you can store data you don't want to lose before a format ;)
[12:59] <jvai> my thinkpad 600x, w/ 589mgz of ram... feels as powerful as an win xp box w/ a pentium4, w/ 1gig of ram
[12:59] <intelikey> erUSUL that's interesting  he said lilo.
[12:59] <Merturk_NB> greetings
[12:59] <zer0bytecode> stock where do i type adduser
[12:59] <bullraiser> hi, i tried manually changing xorg.conf to improve my screen resolution and also followed the doc, but after changing and rebooting too, the changes are not taking in effect. Any ideas?
[12:59] <needhelp> yes it was lilo but i dont mind installing grub
[12:59] <dabaR> bullraiser: had you ran reconfigure?
[12:59] <needhelp> anything that works tbh
[12:59] <bullraiser> not yet.
[12:59] <stock> zer0bytecode, at the command prompt, as root
[01:00] <bullraiser> whats the command?
[01:00] <stock> sudo adduser, i guess
[01:00] <erUSUL> needhelp, why were you using lilo instead of grub?
[01:00] <erUSUL> needhelp, either way once you are chrooted just run lilo or grub-install to fix the thing
[01:01] <needhelp> it wasnt me who installed ubuntu...ubuntu was installed by a friend..costume kernel since i couldnt install it by cd or hdd,the installation was done using knoppix and ssh
[01:01] <intelikey> needhelp lilo -r /mnt/hdc2       should reinstall lilo   but you may want to "cat /mnt/hdc2/etc/lilo.conf " first and confirm all the information is correct.
[01:01] <needhelp> ok intelikey
[01:01] <p4yn3> hey all
[01:01] <needhelp> i tired many things with lilo nothing worled

[01:05] <grumbel> needhelp: chroot only works if you are root in linux, also when you enter the chroot environment, everything else 'dissapears', so you have to prepare the chroot environment to be any usable at all

[01:51] <mshade> GTroy: the sessions menu from GDM login screen
[01:51] <GTroy> cool
[01:51] <SP> Thanks :)
[01:51] <GTroy> mshade: thanks
[01:52] <Mabus06> how do I install dual boot!!!!
[01:52] <erUSUL> Merturk_NB, is the program that loads modules (drivers) into the kernel
[01:52] <SP> Oh, you have to uncomment the lines from sources.list?
[01:52] <hit3k> Partition your hard drive(s)
[01:52] <hit3k> using fdisk..
[01:52] <mshade> odat: tried from command line?
[01:52] <Merturk_NB> erUSUL, will I have to do this after every reboot?
[01:52] <Mabus06> what is fdisk?
[01:52] <kent> SP, well technically yes.  But its more easy to do it from synaptic as that example shows..
[01:52] <green-mouse> Blake_Seven, sorry /etc/samba/smb.conf
[01:53] <kent> SP, but if you can do it from editing sources.list go ahead..  its your choise
[01:53] <odat> well i can mount it from the command line
[01:53] <SP> Ah
[01:53] <tarheelcoxn> odat: when you looked for your floppy in /etc/fstab, what did you find?
[01:53] <mshade> odat: you can or cannot?
[01:53] <SP> sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:53] <SP> Right?
[01:53] <Blake_Seven> go it how should I show it to you ?
[01:54] <erUSUL> Merturk_NB, once you have the right modprobe comand line you can edit /etc/modules.conf to make it permanent
[01:54] <erUSUL> Merturk_NB, take a look at this thread<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[01:54] <hit3k> Mabus06: Its a command thing that lets you partition your disk or Fedora might do it automatically for you if you want it too I've never installed it so i dont really know
[01:54] <kent> SP, correct :)
[01:54] <odat> mshade, i can mount it but i can't make any changes to it
[01:54] <SP> Thought so
[01:54] <odat> tarheelcoxn, fd0 is where its at
[01:54] <SP> Update time
[01:54] <mshade> odat: what's the line in /etc/fstab?
[01:54] <tarheelcoxn> odat: then that's really weird
[01:54] <odat> mshade, how do i check
[01:54] <mshade> odat: cat /etc/fstab |grep fd0
[01:54] <tarheelcoxn> odat: less /etc/fstab
[01:54] <BeGu> I have problem adding repositories... I've searched for many sources.list with google but none of them has worked properly....
[01:55] <kent> SP universe contains most of the things any one wants. And its always better to install from there instead of compiling from source..   if you compile from source it will be harder to upgrade that package etc.
[01:55] <odat> tarheelcoxn, i go it to mount with what you said
[01:55] <SP> Install bmp :)
[01:55] <SP> Indeed
[01:55] <SP> Thanks for tip :)
[01:55] <tarheelcoxn> odat: you have to give exactly what's in /etc/fstab
[01:55] <green-mouse> Blake_Seven, "cat /etc/samba/smb.com" show output to me in private
[01:55] <WebLOCH> oreeet
[01:55] <_jason> BeGu:  what are you trying to add?
[01:55] <odat> mshade, /dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0
[01:55] <tarheelcoxn> eg. if it's /dev/fd0 in fstab, then you have to pass that to mount
[01:55] <kent> BeGu, how do you meen search for sources.list? use the one you have from default and perhaps add universe and multiverse. Thats all most would ever need..
[01:55] <tarheelcoxn> odat: then you type: sudo mount /dev/fd0
[01:55] <mshade> odat: ls -l /media/floppy0
[01:56] <pupil> how do I open a console and have no bars,.. have nothing except a thin line for the border and the ability to scroll
[01:56] <SP> Hmm
[01:56] <Merturk_NB> erUSUL, thank you for how you've helped so far
[01:56] <BeGu> I don't know what to add to my sources.list
[01:56] <SP> bmp won't start..
[01:56] <WebLOCH> Anyone have any advice on a graphical config app for Apache2 ?
[01:56] <landstalker> try Ctrl+Alt+F5
[01:56] <SP> Should I install through apt-get or synaptic?
[01:56] <reiki> hmmm... I wonder if I have a memory leak. I have open xchat, a terminal window that's idle, and system monitor. And I have 286 of 512MB in use and 175MB of swap
[01:56] <mshade> WebLOCH: visual editor improved
[01:56] <landstalker> erm, no, I think its Alt+Shift+F5
[01:56] <erUSUL> Merturk_NB, you are wellcome
[01:56] <kent> SP, your choise. Both works...  synaptic is easier since you can search there. Search for beep-media-player
[01:56] <landstalker> @pupil
[01:56] <WebLOCH> mshade, I meant more a statically designed one, rather than a text editor
[01:57] <WebLOCH> mshade, i have a pretty icon i want to assign to something
[01:57] <kent> BeGu, then follow this http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/ch02.html#addinguniverse
[01:57] <pupil> landstalker, its ok, .. you don't get it
[01:57] <mshade> WebLOCH: lol.  webmin might do it? i dunno.  always just used httpd.conf
[01:57] <BeGu> kent, ok, i'll try.. thanks
[01:57] <hit3k> Would more RAM stop my system from locking up?
[01:57] <landstalker> pupil, then ask correctly
[01:57] <odat> mshade, -rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 1184115 2005-08-08 04:57 Norton Windoctor 2005.zip
[01:57] <pupil> odat, thanks
[01:57] <landstalker> ahhh, I see pupil
[01:58] <SP> Kent: It doesn't seem to want to start...
[01:58] <mshade> hit3k: it'll help if you're using swap too much.  if ram and swap get fille dup, machine crashes
[01:58] <landstalker> you want like a monitoring window eh
[01:58] <mshade> odat: sorry.  ls -ld /media/floppy0
[01:58] <YokoZar> what does this error mean in evolution: No provider available for protocol `email'
[01:58] <YokoZar> Happens when I try to filter messages
[01:58] <reiki> I think I'll reboot and see if it cleans up. back in a bit...
[01:58] <hit3k> How do i check how much im using?
[01:58] <kent> SP, start it from a terminal and see if it complains about something..
[01:58] <odat> mshade,  drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 7168 1969-12-31 19:00 /media/floppy0
[01:58] <IRCMonkey_> hi, guys, is the rc-dvd-powerpc support live DVD? Thanks
[01:58] <SP> Started now
[01:59] <SP> Did fine through terminal
[01:59] <SP> :)
[01:59] <mshade> odat: sudo chmod 777 /media/floppy0
[01:59] <kent> SP, great :) You might need some mp3-plugin though.. but you'l notice if that works or not :)
[01:59] <odat> mshade,  ok
[01:59] <SP> Okay, thank
[01:59] <SP> s
[01:59] <mshade> odat: now write to it.
[01:59] <mshade> odat: or delete from it.
[01:59] <hit3k> mshade: how do i check how much Swap and Ram im using
[02:00] <Mabus06> ANYONE: ubuntu does not work with my geforce, fedora core doesn't want to install, windows works with geforce but costs money. What OS should I use to run the geforce?
[02:00] <odat> mshade, still won't let me
[02:00] <landstalker> anyone ever tried rm -rf / in a live cd?
[02:00] <green-mouse> hit3k, top
[02:00] <mshade> hit3k: applications > system utils > system monitor
[02:00] <mshade> hit3k: or free -m in a terminal
[02:00] <hit3k> ok thanks
[02:00] <Mabus06> becauese apparently no ubuntu user is skilled enough to get my geforce fx 5500 to work with my system on ubuntu
[02:00] <mshade> hit3k: you can also add a monitor to the top bar
 Sorry did I do that wrong I got kicked off
[02:00] <mshade> odat: ls -ld /media/floppy0 again
[02:00] <khalid_hosny> hi
[02:00] <__UrSiNhA__> Preciso de ajuda, estou tentando fazer funcionar meu speedy da telefonica, num modem adsl USB Arescom, e no consigo... :(
[02:00] <SP> Kent, it also may be helpful to know i'm on Hoary..
[02:01] <hit3k> mshade: yeah i did on Gnome
[02:01] <Seveas> !nvidia
[02:01] <ubotu> somebody said nvidia was at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[02:01] <Seveas> Mabus06, ^--
[02:01] <Mabus06> Seveas, yes I have been referred to there a few hundred times, but thank you anyway
[02:01] <odat> mshade,  drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 7168 1969-12-31 19:00 /media/floppy0
[02:01] <hit3k> I'm not using any swap and im using 25% of my RAM
[02:01] <khalid_hosny> i have proplem when installing 5.10 from my hard disk
[02:01] <mshade> odat: you issued the chmod command?
[02:01] <kent> SP, ah..  ok. Well, it should not be a problem. The first link I sent you assumed you where running breezy..    but if you just added universe etc it should be ok. :)
[02:01] <green-mouse> plp where possible topost big messeges? like config file?
[02:01] <odat> mshade, yes
[02:02] <Mabus06> Seveas: I have thoroguhly racked the brain of many ubuntu users, everybody gives up.
[02:02] <kanako> ubuntu seemed to install just fine and i'm at a point after restarting and letting it configure more software where it seems to be having problems starting x. anyone know if there's a command to allow x to try and auto-configure itself?
[02:02] <SP> Hmm, BMP freezes when trying to open a mp3...
[02:02] <mshade> odat: ok, unmount the floppy with 'sudo umount /media/floppy0
[02:02] <mojo> hello every1
[02:02] <kent> SP,  not had the time to upgrade yet.. or you just dont feel like it?
[02:02] <SP> I tried
[02:02] <SP> had to reinstall hoary
[02:02] <khalid_hosny> how to tell the installer to search for the files in my hd instead of cdrom?
[02:02] <Blake_Seven> my bad sorry
[02:02] <SP> xserver wouldn't start
[02:02] <mshade> odat: then mount it as a user with 'mount /media/floppy0
[02:02] <hit3k> mshade: swap should be used automatically right..
[02:02] <mojo> I am at the Flemington Racourse tracking the speed and ration of horses for Melbourne Cup using Ubuntu Hoary + special softwares
[02:02] <__UrSiNhA__> I Need Help... I have a modem ARESCOM USB, and I'm not can install :(
[02:02] <mshade> hit3k: if needed, yes.
[02:02] <crimsun> mojo: neat
[02:02] <mshade> hit3k: i take it no swap is being used?
[02:02] <kent> SP, and you are sure you have gstreamer0.8-mad installed? i think bmp needs it to play mp3. But it should complain.. not just freeze :(
[02:02] <hit3k> mshade: I'm not using any swap and only 25% of my ram
[02:03] <mshade> hit3k: if not, then you can probably be sure it's not a 'running out of ram' issue.
[02:03] <Ender_W> Should I be able to play a movie dvd right after install?
 did you get my config file ?
[02:03] <reiki> ok... not sure what was leaking but memory is back down to 149MB in use and no swap. Maybe I shouldn't let this run for weeks on end :)
[02:03] <SP> How d
[02:03] <mojo> any1 from Australia and loving betting horse might know Melbourne Cup
[02:03] <SP> how do I know if I have gstreamer?
[02:03] <mshade> hit3k: it still might be the quality of the ram, one dimm may have gone bad.  you can boot to a memtest utility from grub
[02:03] <crimsun> SP: you do if you installed Ubuntu
[02:03] <ericz> when you install bitpim, what's the command to run it...
[02:03] <kent> SP, if you have problems with xserver you should probably file bugreports on it. It should work for every one..
[02:03] <ericz> "bitpim" doesnt work
[02:03] <mshade> hit3k: do that tonight before you go to bed and let it run all night.
[02:03] <green-mouse> Blake_Seven, no...
[02:03] <__UrSiNhA__> help help! rs
[02:03] <kent> SP, search for it in synaptic. :)
[02:03] <Mabus06> I will donate money ubuntu if anyone can get me to the ubuntu desktop using my geforce.
[02:04] <SP> Oop, nope, gstreamer-mad isn't on there
[02:04] <hit3k> mshade: thats like 18 hours from now (i'm an aussie) I'll do it before I go out later
[02:04] <SP> Hehe
[02:04] <Korio> Mabus06, whats the problem?
[02:04] <SP> *installs it*
[02:04] <mshade> hit3k: either way:) let it run a few hours
[02:04] <Mabus06> Korio, it freezes at hotplug subsytem.
[02:04] <hit3k> Yeah I will
[02:04] <hit3k> thanks
[02:04] <green-mouse> where he can post big config file?
[02:04] <ericz> whats the command to open bitpim... i installed it using alien on the rpm, but the command "bitpim" wont work...
[02:04] <Korio> Mabus06, thats weird wich card u have?
[02:04] <odat> mshade, it acts like i  don't have permission
[02:04] <kanako> problem starting x server. is there a command to try and let it reconfigure?
[02:05] <mshade> odat: to umount or to mount
[02:05] <Mabus06> Tried installing drivers through synaptic. Tried installing from CD. Tried installing from the website. Tried installing from apt-get. Tried to boot without installing a driver. All freeze at hotplug subystem Korio.
[02:05] <odat> mshade, both
[02:05] <Mabus06> Geforce FX 5500 PCI
[02:05] <kent> SP, hopefully it works now :)
[02:05] <SP> Hopefully
[02:05] <SP> Starting bmp now
[02:05] <mshade> odat: sudo umount /media/floppy0 says what?
[02:05] <Nail_Bunny> in mplayer how do you inlarge the video size
[02:05] <Korio> Mabus06, how can you use synaptic if ubuntu isnt booted? lol
[02:05] <__UrSiNhA__> *help*
[02:05] <__UrSiNhA__> rs
[02:05] <Nail_Bunny> i try but it just englares the frame, not video
[02:05] <Mabus06> Korio: I can boot to ubuntu just fine using my onboard
[02:05] <pupil> what mirror are you guys using for /etc/apt/sources.list?
[02:06] <Korio> well i dont know much, but are you shure you enabled the driver in xorg.conf?
[02:06] <pupil> I changed from us one to de .. but now de is not working
[02:06] <Mabus06> But any time I try to boot with my bios settings set to use my PCI instead of the onboard video, it freezes at hotplug. Regardless of driver type, or no drivers used at all.
[02:06] <odat> mshade, it unmounts and mounts if i do it from the terminal but not from gnome
[02:06] <Mabus06> I was told it is not a driver problem.
[02:06] <green-mouse> Blake_Seven, try http://pastebin.ubuntulinux.nl/
[02:06] <mshade> odat: can you mount/umount it as user from command line?
[02:06] <Nail_Bunny> how do you enlarge the video in MPlayer
[02:07] <Korio> Mabus06, well you could just screw the nvidia card
[02:07] <odat> mshade, yes
[02:07] <mshade> Nail_Bunny: 'f' for full screen
[02:07] <mshade> odat: without using sudo?
[02:07] <Korio> Mabus06, i'll doubt you'll be playing games in linux
[02:07] <Nail_Bunny> mshade that just enlagres thje frame, not the video
[02:07] <us> i wrote a minute about ago. I can't seem to get my internet connection up. I have two windows boxes on the same connections that work fine.  Most of the time the DSL modem and google.com ping. But, nothing will load in firefox. any thoughts?
[02:07] <mshade> Nail_Bunny: are you running from command line or from a file manager?
[02:07] <hit3k> mshade: Now I'm confused with swap and ram should swap start running when the ram runs out?
[02:07] <lsuactiafner> Nail_Bunny : -fs  or  -zoom -xy 2
[02:07] <mshade> Nail_Bunny: that means you're using the 'x11' driver, by the way.
[02:07] <Nail_Bunny> mshade command line i think
[02:07] <Mabus06> Korio: "screwing the card" is not an option
[02:08] <lsuactiafner> Nail_Bunny : there is a #mplayer
[02:08] <odat> mshade, yes
[02:08] <mshade> Nail_Bunny: alright.. instead of just mplayer video.mpg do mplayer -zoom video.mpg
[02:08] <lsuactiafner> Nail_Bunny : -vo xv is hardware acceleration
[02:08] <Mabus06> I'm starting to think that nobody who ever joins this channell is 1337 enough to solve the problem
[02:08] <Korio> Mabus06, my nvidia card works perfect, it might not be the card thats the problem
[02:08] <SP> Kent: Froze again :(
[02:08] <Nail_Bunny> mshade ill try
[02:08] <mshade> Nail_Bunny: then you can use F and resize the window and fancy stuff.  there are better drivers to use though
[02:08] <Mabus06> I'd rather donate money to ubuntu than spend money paying someone to fix it
[02:08] <mshade> odat: hmm this is very odd.
[02:08] <Mabus06> Korio: it is not the card, it works just fine with windows
[02:08] <mshade> odat: try sudo chmod 777 /dev/fd0
[02:08] <Korio> Mabus06, have you tried other distros?
 sent to your scerrn name
[02:09] <cillin> by any chance are you talking about the nividia geforce 2 go?
[02:09] <odat> mshade, when i mounted it without using sudo i was able to delete from it and unmount it from gnome
[02:09] <kent> SP sad to hear.. :(  I dont know why it does that.. it shouldn't :(  Its always a good practice to file a well written bugreport on it.  bugzilla.ubuntu.com
[02:09] <__UrSiNhA__> Anybody help me......plexxxx
[02:09] <mshade> odat: right, you need to mount it as a user to have it be accessible for you
[02:10] <mshade> odat: but after running 'sudo chmod 777 /dev/fd0' you should be able to mount from gnome too :|
[02:10] <mshade> odat: unfortunately, i don't have a floppy around to test.
[02:10] <Nail_Bunny> thx
 did you get the file ?
[02:10] <green-mouse> Blake_Seven, give me a little time...
[02:11] <odat> mshade, nope no luck
[02:11] <Blake_Seven> no rush at all.. just want to make sure you got it.. I wait ...
[02:11] <Mabus06> korio: no, fedora core has troubles installing
[02:12] <Mabus06> stops at /sbin/loader or something
[02:12] <Korio> Mabus06, well its probably the combination between the card and some other hardware... but im just guessing now
[02:12] <Korio> sorry
[02:13] <cillin> korio, missed the start of the conversation - what card are you having problems with?
[02:13] <Korio> cillin, i dont have a problem with anything Mabus06  has
[02:13] <Korio> :/
[02:13] <green-mouse> Blake_Seven, I dont get complete file, try to send it to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[02:13] <cillin> whoops - Mabus06?
[02:14] <ubuntu> I'm trying the Ubuntu LiveCD right now to see how well it will work with my hardware. The only problem so far is the monitor. It's best resolution is 1680x1050, but that isn't an option under "Screen Resolution". I know you can change it in xorg.conf, but is there a more user-friendly way?
[02:15] <odat> mshade, automount just won't do it
[02:15] <mshade> odat: this is behaving like a bug...
[02:16] <budluva> ubuntu, as far as i know xorg.conf is the only way
[02:16] <budluva> someone correct me if im wrong
[02:16] <odat> mshade, its all over the wiki
[02:16] <budluva> but as far as i know its xorg.conf

[02:23] <Oarnta> stevenj: what video card do you have?
[02:24] <crimsun> SP: ok. So the song appears to play, but you can't hear anything, correct?
[02:24] <SP> crimsun: Correct
[02:24] <crimsun> SP: paste the output from amixer onto paste.ubuntulinux.nl
[02:24] <stevenj> Oarnta, this is my post on ubuntu forums (I have a geforce 5200) http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83486
[02:24] <Korio> anyone know a site with good nature wallpapers?
[02:24] <Korio> or photo manipulated
[02:24] <Merturk_NB> erUSUL, thread didn't help. Is there anything else I can look into
[02:25] <odat> mshade, this bug is a big one considering we just started a company building Ubuntu linux computers this bites a bit
[02:25] <SP> http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/3767
[02:25] <odat> mshade, used to work perfect in hoary
[02:25] <Oarnta> stevenj: have you tried using the vesa driver instead of the nvidia specific one, just to see if it works that way?
[02:25] <Oarnta> stevenj: you won't get any acceleration, but that might help diagnose
[02:26] <crimsun> SP: mute both 'Headphone Jack Sense' and 'Line Jack Sense'
[02:26] <mshade> odat: try editing the commandline of the launcher to read like this:  mount /media/floppy0 && nautilus /media/floppy0
[02:26] <crimsun> SP: amixer sset 'Headphone Jack Sense' off && amixer sset 'Line Jack Sense' off
[02:26] <mshade> odat: then it'll at least open nautilus after it's mounted.
[02:26] <stevenj> Oarnta, that is (I assume) the default driver after a fresh install and checked 3 times the xsession-errors before anything
[02:26] <bur[n] er> apokryphos: i'm sold on ktorrent over azureus :)
[02:27] <josh_1> Hey Guys!
[02:27] <Korio> is XDM broken in ubuntu? :(
[02:27] <Oarnta> hmm...
[02:27] <mshade> odat: got that?
[02:27] <SP> crimsun: done, try again?
[02:27] <josh_1> I am having some trouble with initNG, I was wondering if anybody is online here and able to help?
[02:27] <crimsun> SP: yes
[02:27] <Mabus06> my "updating bios" instructions include the use of a bootable floppy.... is there a way I could make a bootable CD instead?!
[02:27] <Luigi_v> aja
[02:27] <odat> mshade, doesn't work
[02:27] <Oarnta> stevenj: Have ya tried a different video card?
[02:27] <mshade> odat: any errors?
[02:28] <stevenj> Oarnta, I have not...it worked with hoary I think....have you ever seen this before?
[02:28] <odat> mshade, no
[02:28] <SP> crimsun: Still nothing.
[02:28] <crimsun> SP: try muting 'External Amplifier'
[02:28] <Oarnta> I'm mostly a debian user, I've had these problems with it, so
[02:29] <Oarnta> stevenj: try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:29] <Oarnta> "
[02:29] <Merturk_NB> grr
[02:29] <SP> crimsun: still nothing
[02:29] <crimsun> SP: this is a fresh install of Breezy, correct?
[02:29] <mshade> odat: change the && to ;
[02:29] <Oarnta> stevenj: and select the vesa driver specifically.
[02:29] <Mabus06> my "updating bios" instructions include the use of bootable flopppies... I don't have a floppy drive, can someone help eme to make a bootable CD?
[02:29] <mshade> odat: that'll work
[02:29] <SP> Boary, because breezy had xserver issues for me
[02:30] <Korio> Is there a better alternative than WINE?
[02:30] <crimsun> SP: ok, I presumed you're using Breezy
[02:30] <Oarnta> Korio: Other than using WineX from CVX, not really
[02:30] <odat> mshade, nope
[02:30] <mshade> Korio: for what?
[02:30] <josh_1> Does anybody know how to load the fglrx module with initNG. I have a radeon graphics card configured by the ATI driver tutorial on the ubuntu forums. It works fine and everything when booting with init.d, but when I boot with initNG and run fgl_glxgears it returns errors (even though fglrxinfo returned ati info)
[02:30] <SP> crimsun: Sorry, failed to mention..
[02:30] <Korio> mshade,  i wanted to emulate FileTopia
[02:30] <crimsun> SP: you need to unmute one or both of 'Headphone Jack Sense' and 'Line Jack Sense' then
[02:31] <SP> unmuted
[02:31] <mshade> Korio: what's filetopia.. file manager of some sort?
[02:31] <crimsun> SP: which? both?
[02:31] <SP> crimsun: both
[02:31] <crimsun> SP: what if you just unmute one?
[02:31] <SP> crimsun: which?
[02:31] <Mabus06> I need to know how to make a bootable CD
[02:31] <crimsun> SP: choose one
[02:31] <stevenj> Oarnta, the thing is with nvidia glx installed I can run glxgears fine with 3K fps and I'm logging in fine and getting on the net fine...I just dont understand what I means
[02:32] <SP> crimsun: headphone jack sense muted
[02:32] <crimsun> SP: any luck?
[02:32] <josh_1> glxgears works fine, but not fgl_glxgears
[02:32] <SP> No
[02:32] <Mabus06> can anyone tell me how to make a bootable CD?!?!
[02:32] <SP> Crimsun: do I need to unmute external amplifier?
[02:32] <sproingie> Mabus06: burn a bootable image
[02:33] <Korio> Mabus06, i believe you can use nero for that
[02:33] <Mabus06> sproingie: no, not an iso
[02:33] <ubuntu> Is it unusual that when I try to open an MP3, it tells me it cannot play the file and I may need to install a codec?
[02:33] <Mabus06> And nero costs money, I don't have it.
[02:33] <crimsun> SP: then you need to play with combinations of umuting and muting combinations of 'Headphone Jack Sense', 'Line Jack Sense', and 'External Amplifier'
[02:33] <Oarnta> stevenj: so it works fine, just gives an error that doesn't seem to come from a problem that affects you
[02:33] <Korio> nero can be free ;)
[02:33] <mshade> odat: ok, aparrantly we can't stack commands in program launchers:) that's ok
[02:33] <SP> I'll try
[02:33] <Yoriko> ubuntu: if you don't have win32 codecs, yes.
[02:33] <sproingie> remaster a knoppix cd then ... or see how they do it
[02:33] <mshade> odat: we'll create a simple script.  open a text editor of any kind
[02:33] <ubuntu> Yoriko: I'm just running the LiveCD.
[02:33] <Korio> Does xine play everything like VLC does?
[02:33] <Mabus06> I have a free thing that burns bootable CDs, Korio, sproingie
[02:33] <mshade> odat: may I private message you?  are you registered on freenode with nickserv?
[02:34] <Yoriko> I don't think the live CD has the codecs, I never used it.
[02:34] <Mabus06> But I need help with the options.
[02:34] <ku_dude> anybody here knows what GUI-based utility in Gnome there is to mount a FAT drive as writable?
[02:34] <Korio> Does mplayer handle .wmv files?
[02:34] <ubuntu> Yoriko: But those codecs are available via Add Applications?
[02:34] <stevenj> Oarnta, well true...I am just curious as to what it means
[02:34] <mshade> ku_dude: if /etc/fstab is set up right, it'll mount as writable every time
[02:34] <Yoriko> Via universe and multiverse repositories, yes.
[02:34] <mshade> ku_dude: what kind of device
[02:34] <Yoriko> its documented, look up Restricted Formats.
[02:35] <Oarnta> stevenj: I honestly have no clue, I'm not sure
[02:35] <stevenj> Oarnta, thanks
[02:35] <mshade> odat: you there?
[02:35] <Oarnta> Korio: You need to get the w32codecs package to play wmv files
[02:35] <Oarnta> stevenj: sorry I coudn't help more
[02:35] <Korio> Oarnta, Yea i did and yet it doesnt handle wmv
[02:35] <Yoriko> ubuntu: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[02:35] <boci^> Ubuntu have "BUM" like console tool?
[02:35] <_jason> Korio:  mplayer?
[02:35] <blackvd> anyone around here having trouble with their mplayer plugin?
[02:36] <Korio> _jason, yes mplayer
[02:36] <boci^> for enable/disable services
[02:36] <SP> crimsun: i've tried all the combinations I can think of :(
[02:36] <stevenj> Oarnta, thanks for the alt suggestions...I can't find anyone who knows what it means..no one
[02:36] <ku_dude> mshade: it's an external USB Drive..
[02:36] <_jason> Korio:  mplayer plays wmv's for me, have you tried different files?  I believe the latest wmv encoding cannot be played by anything
[02:36] <mshade> ku_dude: it doesn't come up automatically?
[02:36] <Oarnta> stevenj: UTSL... (google if it you must)
[02:36] <ku_dude> mshade: it does.. but only read-only.
[02:36] <Korio> _jason,  is that wmp 10?
[02:37] <Oarnta> Korio: Are you talking about DRM video?
[02:37] <_jason> Korio:  I believe so
[02:37] <crimsun> SP: cat /proc/asound/cards
[02:37] <mshade> ku_dude: well, we'll probably have to edit fstab manually first, but I can help you get it workin ;)
[02:37] <stevenj> Oarnta, oh I spend hours today at work..I found references on the ubuntu bugs and some others, but no one knows what it means
[02:37] <Korio> Oarnta,  nope just plain wmv files
[02:37] <ku_dude> mshade: cool.. thanks..
[02:37] <Korio> Oarnta, i did just as it said in ubuntuguide.org
[02:37] <Oarnta> Korio: Do they play on windows? just thought I'd ask

[02:38] <kent> budluva, are you sure the kernel module is loaded?  run lsmod from a terminal.
[02:38] <ku_dude> mshade: nope.
[02:38] <Oarnta> budluva: run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and select the "nvidia" driver
[02:38] <ku_dude> mshade: how do I do that?
[02:39] <ku_dude> mshade: haven't use IRC in over 5 years.
[02:39] <Korio> Oarnta, you have any ideas? :/
[02:39] <Mabus06> budluva what card do you have?
[02:39] <Mabus06> Korio: I need help with the options
[02:39] <ku_dude> mshade: can't you just tell me the line to use here? You don't need private...
[02:39] <Korio> Mabus06, what options?
[02:39] <Oarnta> Korio: not sure, I'm thinking about it.... Open it up in WMP and find out what version of WMV it uses
[02:39] <mshade> ku_dude: i was going to have you paste me your fstab.  ok, first of all, do you have any sata drives?
[02:39] <Mabus06> options in a burning program to make a disc bootable
[02:39] <Mabus06> do I make it closed or writable?
[02:40] <mshade> stevenj: which part are you asking about?
[02:40] <Korio> Oarnta, wich wmv version doesnt the w32codecs handle?
[02:40] <budluva> kent, no module loaded
[02:40] <ku_dude> nahh!..
[02:40] <budluva> i have a tnt2
[02:40] <mshade> stevenj: and are you experiencing problems other than the errors?
[02:40] <Oarnta> Korio: like the really REALLY new ones.
[02:40] <ku_dude> mshade: well sorry.. yes.. but the external isn't sata.
[02:40] <mshade> ku_dude: lol ok
[02:40] <Oarnta> budluva: You should be able to use the "nv" driver for that
[02:40] <mshade> ku_dude: that changes things :)
[02:40] <stevenj> mshade the _IceTrans stuff near the top and the lookup host failure on localhost    Thanks!
[02:40] <mshade> ku_dude: we need to figure out which /dev entry it uses when you plug it in.
[02:41] <ku_dude> mshade: it
[02:41] <Korio> Oarnta, hmm im on a new install
[02:41] <kent> budluva, then you need to load it.  Im not sure how the best way is to solve it, but put nvidia in /etc/modules and it will load upon boot.
[02:41] <ku_dude> it's /dev/sdb
[02:41] <_native_> kc watson: ping
[02:41] <Korio> Oarnta, wich guide did you follow when you installed the codecs and stuff?
[02:41] <mshade> stevenj: i get those errors too.
[02:41] <mshade> stevenj: it's related to /etc/hosts
[02:41] <Korio> Oarnta, im looking for the very best for my system :D
[02:41] <budluva> nvidia or nv?
[02:41] <Oarnta> Korio: guide? I just googled what package to use and did apt-get install w32codecs. mplayer seemed to work fine
[02:41] <ku_dude> mshade: I found that with gparted
[02:42] <mshade> ku_dude: ok.
[02:42] <Korio> Oarnta, really thats all you did ? :o
[02:42] <mshade> ku_dude: there's one partition on the external disk?
[02:42] <thirso> how do i logout to select another Window Manager? im trying System -> Logout but its going to the console
[02:42] <Korio> Oarnta, does it play mpeg divx and xvid too?
[02:42] <Oarnta> Korio: I don't "do" guides, I guess, and almost always get it right
[02:42] <ku_dude> mshade: yes.
[02:42] <Oarnta> Korio: Ya, all my pira- "free" movies work fine
[02:42] <stevenj> mshade, I wonder if its a problem with interfaces config by default?
[02:42] <ku_dude> fat32 is the file system.

[02:43] <nelson> Hi.  Is this where I ask a FAQ?
[02:43] <Korio> Oarnta, hmm weird because in ubuntuguide they suggest you to install almost dussins of packages :o
[02:43] <thirso> !w32
[02:43] <ubotu> thirso: Syntax error in line 1
[02:43] <ku_dude> mshade: cool copy..
[02:43] <thirso> !w32codecs
[02:43] <ubotu> w32codecs is, like, totally, a set of audio/video codecs for DVD-Video. To download the debs: http://tinyurl.com/bwomt (Hoary), or http://tinyurl.com/bpxbf (Breezy).  For 64-bit read: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=54399
[02:43] <crimsun> SP: you really should try Breezy again...
[02:43] <Oarnta> Korio: Thats all I had to do
[02:43] <SP> Hmm
[02:43] <thirso> check that out Korio

[02:44] <SP> crimsun: if I use the method at ubuntuguide.org, it hsould work, right?
[02:44] <ku_dude> mshade: the partition is sdb1. so I should use that right?
[02:44] <Korio> thirso, not that i already knew it but yea thx anyway
[02:44] <crimsun> SP: what method?
[02:44] <ubuntu> Anyone know how to long in as root with the LiveCD?
[02:44] <Oarnta> Korio: Of course, I mix my /etc/apt/sources.list with stuff from other debian based distros.... lotta stuff works - and breaks alot.
[02:44] <mshade> ku_dude: correct.  any mass storage device you connect with usb will be sdb.. first partition will be sdb1.  if you have two connected, it'll be sdc.. (the second)

[02:46] <Korio> Oarnta, hey its ok i like sudo su -
[02:46] <Korio> :)
[02:46] <crimsun> moogman: you won't. It was removed because of licensing issues.
[02:46] <Korio> no need for the root password then
[02:46] <thirso> i liked it but bitchx+cyp is better
[02:46] <moogman> crimsun: Ah I see. Could you direct me to their homepage please?
[02:46] <Oarnta> Korio: I'm used to other distros, I like having a root password
[02:46] <crimsun> moogman: which/whose?

[02:47] <moogman> crimsun: The developers of libhowl.
[02:47] <mshade> ku_dude: no, i'm not da bom.  I'm da mob.
[02:47] <moogman> gnomemeeting cvs depends on libhowl
[02:47] <stevenj> mshade, you know I wonder what # out all those IPv6 lines would do anything
[02:47] <moogman> God knows why
[02:47] <ku_dude> mshade: heheh! whateever.. you rock.
[02:47] <mshade> :)
[02:47] <Korio> is wine hq better than plain wine?
[02:47] <Oarnta> all: Does Ubuntu not have internet sources so I don't have to keep the CD around?
[02:47] <mshade> Korio: same thing
[02:48] <Korio> mshade, oh sorry i mean that... GUI wine.. that comes with xandros
[02:48] <crimsun> moogman: try a Google search

[02:48] <rain`> Hi, I am looking for a program to transfer files from person to person, something that is not cruddy and slow like msn....
[02:48] <SP> Thats the guide I was looking at
[02:48] <hyphenated> Oarnta: your /etc/apt/sources.list should have a line right at the top referring to the CD, and then a bunch of others refering to internet sources
[02:48] <mshade> ku_dude: no worries.  keep it fat32 incase you want to cart it somewhere there is no linux box ;)
[02:48] <hyphenated> Oarnta: comment out that one line, then do sudo apt-get update
[02:48] <Oarnta> hyphenated, thanks
[02:48] <ku_dude> mshade: until linux supports NTFS fully then I will still use FAT32.. even though I can't use anything over 4GB it seems.
[02:48] <crimsun> twisted_maple: yes
[02:48] <Korio> Is crossover better than wine?
[02:48] <crimsun> (brb)
[02:48] <thirso> rain`: xchat ?
[02:48] <Korio> thats what i meant
[02:48] <mshade> ku_dude: sure you can.
[02:48] <lsald> rain`,  you ever thing about 'ftp'
[02:49] <ku_dude> mshade: sure I can what?
[02:49] <Oarnta> hyphenated, I'm doing a base install, I'm used to a netinst of debian
[02:49] <hyphenated> ku_dude: what, for partition size?
[02:49] <mshade> ku_dude: use over 4gb
[02:49] <SP> I used 8GB
[02:49] <rain`> lsald: I could use ftp, but that is way too much overkill
[02:49] <maddler> thirso: a good script for what?
[02:49] <mshade> I have a 60GB fat32 partition
[02:49] <SP> I have a 30GB windows and a 8GB ubuntu
[02:49] <moogman> crimsun: Heh, thanks.
[02:49] <Oarnta> hyphenated, Um... I only have one line in that fine, and its the cdrom line
[02:49] <maddler> thirso: http://www.irssi.org/
[02:49] <hyphenated> ku_dude: you can, just need to use -F 32 or something whem you do mkfs.vfat
[02:49] <ku_dude> mshade:  per file I mean.
[02:50] <twisted_maple> Crimsun:  Thank you for the AWE32 advise.  The BIOS had an explict lock out on the IRQ that I was using.  There was a page 2 in the bios that allowed for IRQ reserved.  I am listening to streaming audio now.  Thank you.  Your advise was 100% accurate.
[02:50] <mshade> ku_dude: ahhhh
[02:50] <mshade> ku_dude: that's different :) heh
[02:50] <|sam|> i can remove totem with no worries right? only it says it will remove ubuntu-desktop too but thats not right, right?
[02:50] <hyphenated> oh, per file :-)
[02:50] <ku_dude> mshade: hahah! sorry for the mis information.
[02:50] <ku_dude> mshade: are you got at xorg.conf?
[02:50] <mshade> ku_dude: what's your issue with xorg.conf

[02:51] <ubotu> aeon17x: Bugger all, i dunno
[02:51] <Oarnta> all: any clue what base-config crashes whenever I try to run it?
[02:51] <ku_dude> mshade: well I am using an ATI Radeon 9600 and can only get my dual-monitors to work with a BigDesktop.. I can't get to use DualHead mode.
[02:51] <aeon17x> How do you that again? That ctrl alt delete shortcut for the system monitor.
[02:51] <Oarnta> includeing the first time
[02:52] <aeon17x> Never mind, found it.
[02:52] <mshade> ku_dude: you want a separate desktop on each eh
[02:52] <ku_dude> mshade: any suggestion? I like the way windows does dual screen..window maximises only in one screen..
[02:52] <twisted_maple> Crimsun:  scroll up.
[02:52] <ku_dude> mshade: but in Linux's BigDesktop it maximizes in both screens.
[02:52] <mshade> ku_dude: are you using the 'radeon' driver or 'fglrx'
[02:52] <ku_dude> mshade: yes.
[02:53] <mshade> ku_dude: lol which one
[02:53] <ku_dude> mshade: not seperate desktop..
[02:53] <robertbb> buahaha
[02:53] <Oarnta> all: ubuntu sorta refuses to run base-config without crashing my computer, any tricks to get around that?
[02:53] <ku_dude> mshade: just don't want the program to maximize to fit both monitors.
[02:53] <thirso> maddler: like cypress for bitchx
[02:53] <mshade> ku_dude: right, i gotcha.
[02:53] <ku_dude> mshade: Am I making sense?
[02:53] <moquist> in which repository does libdvdcss live?
[02:53] <Korio> how do i untar a file with TAR?
[02:53] <mshade> ku_dude: absolutely
[02:54] <moquist> Korio: tar -x file.tar
[02:54] <cillin> tar -zxvf filename
[02:54] <Korio> thank you moquist
[02:54] <robertbb> Korio, tar -xvzf foo.tar.gz
[02:54] <ku_dude> mshade: I tried a lot of xorg.conf files on the forums.. but my xserver dies.
[02:54] <mshade> moquist: libdvdread3
[02:54] <moquist> Korio: tar -xz file.tar.gz or file.tgz
[02:54] <Oarnta> Korio tar -xf *.tar
[02:54] <moquist> Korio: ha!  I forgot -f.  It won't work like I typed it.  See cillin's post.
[02:54] <mshade> ku_dude: post your xorg.conf up to pastebin
[02:54] <mshade> !pastebin
[02:54] <ubotu> pastebin is probably a site where you can post large texts and screenshots so you don't flood the channel. You can find it at http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl
[02:54] <Mabus06> i have a problem!!
[02:54] <robertbb> Lets see how many variants we can get.. on how to untar, so we confuse the guy..
[02:54] <crimsun> twisted_maple: excellent.
[02:55] <ku_dude> mshade: how do I do that?
[02:55] <Oarnta> moquist, lol, lets extract the file to standard output :-P
[02:55] <Mabus06> anyone here know how to update bios?
[02:55] <SP> Yeah
[02:55] <SP> Boot into windows while holding Delete
[02:55] <thirso> Mabus06: there should be a software for that
[02:55] <Korio> no work with tar :(
[02:55] <Mabus06> when I download the file from teh website, it is .002 extension
[02:55] <mshade> ku_dude: open it in an editor(like gedit) and go to that website.. copy and paste it in, it'll give you a link to post here so i can read it and edit it from the website
[02:55] <robertbb> Mabus06, That's not an Ubuntu question. And the answer is specific to your motherboard/manufacturer. Go read their website.
[02:55] <crimsun> SP: the Breezy upgrade guide in the topic should cover all the gotchas
[02:55] <scoperesolution> anyone know how to get samba server to connect to an ip instead of just a host name?
[02:55] <thirso> Mabus06: now you need the software from your mobo vendor
[02:55] <SP> crimsun: Link?
[02:56] <mshade> scoperesolution: you mean samba client?
[02:56] <crimsun> SP: /topic
[02:56] <scoperesolution> mshade yeah
[02:56] <Mabus06> but my manual says it would be a .rom extension
[02:56] <robertbb> scoperesolution, What do you mean samba _server_.. ? Surely you mean the client?
[02:56] <|bEaViS|> I have some problems with ubuntu booting, anyone free to help?
[02:56] <SP> Thanks
[02:56] <scoperesolution> yeah I ment the client
[02:56] <robertbb> Or do you mean how to change what interface/IP it listens on?
[02:56] <scoperesolution> I am a little out of it tonight
[02:56] <robertbb> ah.
[02:56] <moquist> Oarnta: nah, the command I posted would have been trying to extract the file *from* *standard input*.
[02:56] <mshade> scoperesolution: go to places: connect to network server
[02:56] <Oarnta> ROFL
[02:56] <scoperesolution> no, like i cant connect t the ip
[02:56] <thirso> Mabus06: where did u get the bios?
[02:56] <mshade> scoperesolution: service type: windows share
[02:56] <moquist> Oarnta: much less dangerous, though.  :)
[02:56] <scoperesolution> im doing everything via command line
[02:57] <mshade> scoperesolution: type in the ip address in 'server' line
[02:57] <robertbb> scoperesolution, You guru.
[02:57] <Mabus06> thirso: I downloaded the bios from the ASUS website
[02:57] <mshade> scoperesolution: you want it command line version instead?
[02:57] <Mabus06> but the file was an extension .002
[02:57] <Oarnta> moquist, ya, hell, you could acually do that without screwing yourself. just use 0> file.tar.gz
[02:57] <scoperesolution> like i do smbclient -I x.x.x.x
[02:57] <scoperesolution> and it doesnt like it
[02:57] <Mabus06> in the manual it said it would be .rom
[02:57] <ku_dude> mshade: what is the URL for pastebin?
[02:57] <|bEaViS|> I have some problems with ubuntu booting, anyone free to help?
[02:57] <mshade> ku_dude: !pastebin
[02:57] <mshade> !tell ku_dude pastebin
[02:57] <ku_dude> !pastebin
[02:57] <ubotu> hmm... pastebin is a site where you can post large texts and screenshots so you don't flood the channel. You can find it at http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl
[02:57] <Korio> guys what program should i open .sh files with?
[02:57] <Oarnta> Mabus06, use a wind0z3 box, and follow the website instructions
[02:58] <Oarnta> Korio, use a command line
[02:58] <moquist> mshade: libdvdcss isn't in libdvdread3, but /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh is included and installs libdvdcss safely.
[02:58] <ku_dude> ok going there..sorry for dumbness guys..
[02:58] <Oarnta> Korio, and type in "./name.sh"
[02:58] <propagandhi> ha ha ha check this out http://www.parascope.com/mx/articles/godin.htm
[02:58] <mshade> moquist: my mistake.
[02:58] <mshade> ku_dude: we're all dumb, all the time.
[02:58] <moquist> mshade: np; you got me to run "dpkg -L", which was enough to get me there.  :)
[02:58] <Oarnta> Korio, if that doesn't work instantly, do "chmod 700 name.sh" first, then do the "./name.sh"
[02:58] <moquist> mshade: thx
[02:59] <scoperesolution> has anyone ever connected via an ip using smbclient?
[02:59] <Oarnta> scoperesolution, ya, thats the only way I do it
[02:59] <moquist> scoperesolution: yeah, I think so.
[02:59] <Korio> Oarnta, says file not found
[02:59] <mshade> scoperesolution: try this:
[02:59] <moquist> Korio: you can also do "sh blah.sh".
[02:59] <odat> anyone know how to change system defaults like email programs and stuff
[02:59] <saik0> scoperesolution have ou tried -I
[02:59] <jonny> hey
[02:59] <moquist> Korio: then you don't have to worry about the chmod command.
[02:59] <mshade> scoperesolution: mount -t smbfs X.x.x.x:/sharename /mnt/point
[02:59] <jonny> cyphase?
[02:59] <ku_dude> mshade: I think this is it: http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/3768
[02:59] <Oarnta> Korio, moquist is right
[02:59] <Korio> moquist, thx that works
[03:00] <scoperesolution> mshade, I am not using ubuntu
[03:00] <moquist> odat: http://ubuntuguide.org/ has info that's still helpful to change default applications
[03:00] <mshade> ku_dude: that's it.
[03:00] <jonny> I got KDE off of default (finaly)
[03:00] <mshade> scoperesolution: you don't need to be.
[03:00] <|bEaViS|> When Ubuntu tries to boot normally, it goes to a splash screen, loads up all the way and then upon fully loading, goes to a screen with a blinking "_" which locks up after about 5 seconds. Right now I am using recovery mode, thats the only way i can use ubuntu (command line only)
[03:00] <cillin> has anyone had a bad experience with the nvidia geforce 2 go card - on a dell laptop?
[03:00] <saik0> I'm trying to get a whole directory usign smbclient...get wont work and mget asks about every file mathiching the mask...which is a good 150 files
[03:00] <scoperesolution> mshade in gentoo you only get smbclient and smbmount
[03:00] <Korio> Oarnta, that sh program is an installer, and It asks me where to install it
[03:00] <scoperesolution> its not likeing the ip
[03:00] <mshade> scoperesolution: samba is samba is samba
[03:00] <mshade> scoperesolution: you have mount
[03:00] <Korio> Oarnta, wich directory should i choose?
[03:00] <mshade> scoperesolution: *trust* me.
[03:00] <jonny> can you download any linux app for ubuntu?
[03:00] <moogman> Is there a way of installing a package, ignoring dependencies?
[03:00] <crimsun> |bEaViS|: you should have an incomplete /var/log/Xorg.0.log then
[03:00] <Oarnta> Korio, under /home/what_your_name_is/pick_a_fine_name/
[03:00] <mshade> scoperesolution: mount -t smbfs x.x.x.x:/sharename /mnt/XXX
[03:01] <moquist> odat: it boils down to editing this file: /usr/share/applications/defaults.list
[03:01] <crimsun> |bEaViS|: please paste that onto http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl
[03:01] <jonny> BRB
[03:01] <moquist> odat: there may be a "better" way to do it, but I don't know what it is.
[03:01] <Korio> Oarnta, is there no "programs" folder like windows?
[03:01] <Oarnta> Korio, When I say your name, I mean your user name
[03:01] <mshade> ku_dude: lookin at it now
[03:01] <Oarnta> Korio, no, there isn't
[03:01] <scoperesolution> mshade that doesnt work
[03:01] <|bEaViS|> Uhh ok, can i do that at command line
[03:01] <ku_dude> mshade: cool..
[03:01] <Korio> Oarnta, what about /opt/program name
[03:01] <Korio> ?
[03:01] <ku_dude> mshade: that was configured with fglrxconfig
[03:02] <Oarnta> Korio, I've never installed there, I always use /home/horza/prog_nam/
[03:02] <scoperesolution> oh well
[03:02] <_jason> crimsun:  is there anyway for me to compile vlc so that it won't say: [00000305]  main decoder error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `WMV3'
[03:02] <|bEaViS|> How do I do that from the command line?
[03:02] <Korio> Oarnta, if you say so i'll do it =)
[03:02] <Korio> Oarnta, can i remove this program with apt-get later?
[03:02] <Oarnta> Korio, No, sadly
[03:03] <Korio> Oarnta, how do i remove it then? :O
[03:03] <Oarnta> Korio, You can just delete that directory tho, thats about the same in this case
[03:03] <|bEaViS|> hey crimsun
[03:03] <scoperesolution> mshade thanks anyways
[03:03] <crimsun> _jason: you need to install libxvidcore4-dev from multiverse and edit the FFMEG configure line that I use in debian/rules
[03:03] <Oarnta> Korio, "rm -R name_of_dir"
[03:03] <_jason> crimsun:  k thanks
[03:03] <moquist> bah!  Where can I edit Firefox plugin settings?  I want to totally ditch totem because it never does what I want, and I want to use mplayer instead.  I have mozilla-mplayer installed, but FF just really wants to use totem...
[03:03] <Korio> Oarnta, does that remove everything of the program?
[03:03] <SP> Jesus cyphase, nice
[03:03] <SP> Lucky
[03:03] <Mabus06> I'm starting to question why linux is praised for its reliability.
[03:03] <Oarnta> Korio, what program is it?
[03:03] <dooglus> |bEaViS|: there's a script on the pastebin site which you can use to paste to it from the command line
[03:04] <cyphase> i was hoping for a 500GB :)
[03:04] <cyphase> but this'll do
[03:04] <Mabus06> It has been nothing but crap for me.
[03:04] <SP> Haha
[03:04] <SP> :P
[03:04] <Oarnta> Mabus06, what distros have you used?
[03:04] <crimsun> |bEaViS|: wget http://ubuntulinux.nl/files/pastebin
[03:04] <cyphase> SP, i have to many hard drives..
[03:04] <crimsun> |bEaViS|: then read the directions
[03:04] <Korio> Oarnta, its wine crossover
[03:04] <Mabus06> ubuntu I used... fedora core I failed with
[03:04] <SP> How many?
[03:04] <|bEaViS|> I dont  know how to get there
[03:04] <dooglus> |bEaViS|: wget http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/files/pastebin
[03:04] <Mabus06> nothing can successfully install with my geforce
[03:04] <Mabus06> except windows
[03:04] <|bEaViS|> thank you
[03:04] <Oarnta> Korio, in that directory, there should be a file called "uninstall.sh" or something similar.
[03:04] <Mabus06> so windows wins the compatibillity challenge
[03:05] <Korio> Oarnta, cool thanks
[03:05] <cyphase> 4 for my main computer, not including the 160GB
[03:05] <|bEaViS|> One last thing, do i have to close this for me to be able to enter that
[03:05] <dooglus> |bEaViS|: then "chmod 755 pastebin"
[03:05] <cyphase> and i've been having hard drive problems lately..
[03:05] <dooglus> |bEaViS|: then cat file | ./pastebin to paste the contents of file
[03:05] <cyphase> both the drives on my server went bad (i was able to recover the data)
[03:06] <Oarnta> Korio, if there isn't, you should be able to just delete it for the most part.
[03:06] <cyphase> then my main drive on my main machine went funny
[03:06] <SP> Sucks..
[03:06] <jonny> hey, cyphase
[03:06] <|bEaViS|> Dooglus: can i get a new command line without exiting the IRC?
[03:06] <cyphase> but now..
[03:06] <dooglus> |bEaViS|: does alt-f2 give you a new login prompt?  if so, alt-f1 to get back here
[03:06] <|bEaViS|> ok
[03:06] <Pinturicchio> hello, is there a french channel about ubuntu ?
[03:06] <dooglus> !fr
[03:06] <ubotu> Va a #ubuntu-fr pour aide et discussion en francais
[03:06] <Pinturicchio> merci
[03:06] <cyphase> i have a new, fresh, 2 minutes out of the wrapper drive..
[03:06] <cyphase> :)
[03:06] <|bEaViS|> No it doesn't
[03:06] <Pinturicchio> thx
[03:06] <SP> Nicee
[03:06] <cyphase> hey jonny
[03:06] <vbgunz> anyone here having a 20 second delay trying to open up a Windows share? Is this normal?
[03:06] <Oarnta> |bEaViS|, you might want to try ctrl-alt-f8
[03:07] <|bEaViS|> Nope
[03:07] <dooglus> |bEaViS|: hold the left alt key and hit the f2 function key.  what happens?
[03:07] <cyphase> which is about to be formatted
[03:07] <ku_dude> mshade: I think I am wrong.. Let me paste something else..sorry for the wrong info. I thought I had linked my xorg.conf file to this one. but I broked the link. one sec..
[03:07] <|bEaViS|> Goes to a blinking _
[03:07] <dooglus> Oarnta: I think he's in a vc already
[03:07] <Oarnta> dooglus, vc?
[03:07] <moquist> nobody knows how I can tell FF to ditch totem?
[03:07] <Mabus06> I'm going to have a heart attack I'm so frsutrated.
[03:07] <dooglus> |bEaViS|: ok - not good.  what about console z?  use 'fg' to resume
[03:07] <mshade> ku_dude: i was goingto say.. this doesn't look fglrxconfigured
[03:07] <tritium> vc = virtual console, Oarnta
[03:08] <dooglus> |bEaViS|: sorry.  CONTROL z.  I was thinking about Oarnta's question.
[03:08] <vbgunz> Please advise: Is it normal to go through a 20 second delay opening up a Windows share?
[03:08] <moquist> Mabus06: I have dual GeForce cards.  What's your trouble?
[03:08] <Oarnta> tritium, got it, thanks
[03:08] <dooglus> Oarnta: vc is virtual console
[03:08] <ku_dude> mshade: use this one: http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/3769
[03:08] <mark7> Hello. Anyone have ideas on connecting Breezy to the internet via a Linksys Wireless-G USB Network Adaptor?
[03:08] <|bEaViS|> that works
[03:08] <Mabus06> moquist: #helpme please
[03:08] <ku_dude> mshade: sorry again man. poor me.. have a headache too.. should go home.
[03:08] <Oarnta> dooglus, what is virt con exactly?
[03:08] <moquist> vbgunz: I have had all kinds of weird delays when authenticating to Windoze boxen.  I wouldn't consider 20 seconds too weird...
[03:09] <mshade> ku_dude: change screen overlap to 0
[03:09] <dooglus> |bEaViS|: you can 'control-z' to temporarily stop a job, type 'jobs' to see a list of jobs.  they'll have numbers by them.  type 'fg %2' to resume job 2
[03:09] <vbgunz> moquist: not wierd *but* normal is it?
[03:09] <cyphase> if i have an 80GB root drive and a 160GB /home drive, they should both be formatted as reiserfs, right?
[03:09] <ksmurf> can you tunnel vncveiwer through an ssh connection?
[03:09] <dooglus> Oarnta: from GNOME, press control-alt-f1 and you'll see.
[03:09] <HrdwrBoB> cyphase: it's up to you
[03:09] <mshade> ku_dude: give that a shot :)
[03:09] <tritium> cyphase, you don't have to use reiserfs.
[03:09] <HrdwrBoB> cyphase: ext3 is used more widely
[03:09] <dooglus> Oarnta: use alt-f7 to get back to gnome after
[03:09] <Oarnta> dooglus, I know what that is
[03:09] <cyphase> i know i don't have to :)
[03:09] <Oarnta> dooglus, never heard it called that
[03:09] <Oarnta> dooglus, you're talking abotu tty1, and tty7
[03:09] <cyphase> i meant, is there a "better" way to do it
[03:10] <moquist> vbgunz: Yeah, what I said was confusing.  I meant that I wouldn't fret about a 20 second delay, unless it's going to cause problems for some other reason.  At least it worked, and it wasn't a multi-minute delay.
[03:10] <Oarnta> about*
[03:10] <budluva> glxinfo and glxgears gives me seg faults, i have nvidia listed in lsmod, but i cant seem to find anything for glx? should i add glx to /etc/modules ???
[03:10] <tritium> cyphase, better way to do what?
[03:10] <dooglus> Oarnta: those alt-f1, alt-f2, etc. things are virtual consoles, aren't they?
[03:10] <cyphase> format the drives
[03:10] <vbgunz> moquist: ok
[03:10] <ku_dude> mshade: ok trying that now.. gonna kill X.. so brb..
[03:10] <jonny> I got KDE and GNOME worked out
[03:10] <mshade> ku_dude: yup
[03:10] <dooglus> Oarnta: or is it 'virtual terminal'?  I'm not sure
[03:10] <cyphase> i'm just making sure really..
[03:10] <mshade> cyphase: shouldn't be an issue
[03:10] <Oarnta> dooglus, I'm not sure
[03:10] <cyphase> i've had no problem with reiserfs in the past
[03:10] <tritium> it's console, dooglus, Oarnta
[03:10] <arcanistherogue> what is the command to make a zip archive out of a folder?
[03:11] <HrdwrBoB> dooglus: it is 'the console' and each one is a vertual terminal
[03:11] <Oarnta> tritium, thanks, sorry about the confusion dooglus
[03:11] <Merturk_NB> is there any other resource I can use to help me with my sound problem?
[03:11] <Oarnta> HrdwrBoB, tritium, dooglus can we pick one? :-P
[03:11] <vbgunz> dooglus: I have a question maybe you can answer... If I Ctrl+Alt+F7 I go to my first desktop *but* Ctrl+Alt+F8 does nothing and Ctrl+Alt+F9 seems to bring me to desktop 3... other than that Where can I find out more about the Ctrl+Alt+F* shortcuts?
[03:11] <crimsun> Merturk_NB: what sound issue?
[03:11] <tritium> Oarnta, pick one what?
[03:11] <Merturk_NB> crimsun no sound
[03:11] <dooglus> HrdwrBoB: each of them gets the kernel log messages - so they all act like the console
[03:11] <HrdwrBoB> dooglus: no
[03:11] <tritium> nomenclature?
[03:12] <chicano-> anybody know how to configure fluxbox?
[03:12] <HrdwrBoB> dooglus: the 'console' gets the console
[03:12] <Oarnta> tritium, ya, lol
[03:12] <chicano-> on ubuntu
[03:12] <HrdwrBoB> it just goes to the screen
[03:12] <Merturk_NB> Compaq Prosignia 120, ESS-1869 chipset
[03:12] <mshade> chicano-: sure.
[03:12] <tritium> :)
[03:12] <Merturk_NB> supposed to be plug and play compatible
[03:12] <mshade> chicano-: from a terminal -- cd ~/.fluxbox
[03:12] <HrdwrBoB> dooglus: the console can use any VT
[03:12] <crimsun> Merturk_NB: it ain't
[03:12] <mshade> chicano-: and start editing thefiles
[03:12] <dooglus> according to googlefight you're right Bob: http://googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&word1=%22virtual+console%22&word2=%22virtual+terminal%22
[03:12] <Merturk_NB> but, no terminal commands are working
[03:12] <Oarnta> HrdwrBoB, tritium dooglus, its those tty* things now
[03:12] <chicano-> mshade, from the root dir or my logins?
[03:12] <Merturk_NB> crimsun, any other resources I can look at?
[03:13] <Merturk_NB> crimsun, anything else I can do?
[03:13] <crimsun> Merturk_NB: install isapnptools and give me the output of pnpdump (use http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl)
[03:13] <dooglus> vbgunz: look at /etc/inittab.  that'll show it starting 6 virtual TERMINALS (ok, bob?)
[03:13] <mshade> Merturk_NB: is it 1869 or 1969 ?
[03:13] <HrdwrBoB> dooglus: :)
[03:13] <matthew_w> How in the name of the Lord do I make a boot floppy in Ubuntu?
[03:13] <Merturk_NB> 1869
[03:13] <sobo> what is a "Broken" filter?
[03:13] <jonny> can you download any linux software on ubuntu
[03:13] <jonny> ?
[03:13] <arcanistherogue> jonny, use synaptic ;)
[03:13] <mshade> chicano-: doesnt' matter.
[03:13] <HrdwrBoB> matthew_w: you can't, essentially
[03:13] <|bEaViS|> It was posted, the part agter the / is 3771
[03:13] <tritium> Oarnta, shall we call them teletubbies?
[03:13] <mshade> chicano-: it's in /home/username/.fluxbox
[03:13] <HrdwrBoB> matthew_w: why do you want a floppy
[03:13] <fadumpt> does anyone know how to clean up sleeping processes that are just filling up resources?
[03:13] <|bEaViS|> *after
[03:13] <Merturk_NB> crimsun, working on it
[03:13] <vbgunz> dooglus: I know about F1 through F6 for VTs... I mean finding out about F7 through F12... I apologize for not being clear
[03:13] <chicano-> k
[03:13] <arcanistherogue> jonny, or you can use .deb files or compile programs from source
[03:13] <mshade> Merturk_NB: is it an isa card?
[03:13] <chicano-> thanks alot mshade
[03:13] <chicano-> :)
[03:13] <fadumpt> or know of a good place to point me?
[03:13] <dooglus> vbgunz: I think GNOME runs on 7 because that's the next available one.  if you lock the screen and click 'new user' or run "new login" from the menu, that'll be ctl-alt-f8, and so on.
[03:13] <mshade> :)
[03:13] <crimsun> mshade: yes
[03:13] <Oarnta> tritium, Yes! And they shall be our friends, and we shall set them on fire
[03:13] <arcanistherogue> what is the command to make a zip archive out of a folder?
[03:13] <jonny> arcanistherogue: how
[03:13] <tritium> oh my
[03:14] <cyphase> so should i set my drive as the home directory during installation?
[03:14] <jonny> is it hard
[03:14] <Merturk_NB> mshade, don't know
[03:14] <arcanistherogue> jonny, the .deb files or the synaptic?
[03:14] <dooglus> vbgunz: ctl-alt-f7 is the first X session, c-a-f8 is the next, and so on
[03:14] <cyphase> is there any risk at all that i could corrupt the data?
[03:14] <matthew_w> HrdwrBoB; Because the boxen I'm putting it onto has no cd drive, and can't support one, mini itx inside of a large beer can, long story - it HAS to be floppy compatible.
[03:14] <jonny> not synaptic,lol, .deb, arcanistherogue
[03:14] <fadumpt> anyone? :-/
[03:14] <|bEaViS|> Dooglus: I posted the File
[03:14] <matthew_w> All of the other ones, Red Hat, Mandrake, etc. etc. etc. had boot floppies, is there no way?
[03:14] <mattpj1> i need help i just installed ubuntu and im trying to do an apt-get i get permission denined so whats the su - root password
[03:14] <dooglus> vbgunz: usually I guess people only use one X session at a time, but using 'gdmflexserver' or whatever it's called (I'm on a Windows box, for shame) you can make new X sessionsd
[03:14] <|bEaViS|> Dooglus: It was posted, the part agter the / is 3771
[03:15] <Merturk_NB> crimsun, can I get more details on the request you made?
[03:15] <arcanistherogue> jonny, oh ok.  Download a .deb file, then run the following command "sudo dpkg -i filename.deb"
[03:15] <vbgunz> dooglus: oh... I remember reading something like that... It's just wierd the info on screen F8... it looks like the login scrolling text stopped on that screen... and F9 brings me to desktop F7... Was just curious
[03:15] <HrdwrBoB> matthew_w: stick a CDROM on it outside the box just to install
[03:15] <cyphase> mattpj1, use sudo
[03:15] <jonny> is that it?
[03:15] <HrdwrBoB> alternatively, you can setup netboot
[03:15] <fadumpt> sudo apt-get install for the person with the issue of permission denied
[03:15] <crimsun> Merturk_NB: sudo aptitude install isapnptools
[03:15] <vbgunz> dooglus: that sounds cool
[03:15] <vbgunz> dooglus: I should look into that
[03:15] <Oarnta> matthew_w, debian has one I know, try using that one and altering the /etc/apt/sources.list to fit.
[03:15] <Merturk_NB> crimsun, perhaps through pm, it's hard to keep up in the main channel
[03:15] <arcanistherogue> jonny, then it installs.  if there are multiple dependencies then keep lsitng file names, but thats it :D
[03:15] <matthew_w> Thanks.
[03:15] <fadumpt> mattpj1, sudo apt-get install "app"
[03:15] <dooglus> vbgunz: type gdmflex and hit tab in a terminal.  then hit return
[03:15] <mattpj1> thanks you
[03:16] <pierre> !win32codecs
[03:16] <ubotu> pierre: Are you on ritalin?
[03:16] <dooglus> vbgunz: you'll get a new login screen.  ctl-alt-f7 to get back here
[03:16] <vbgunz> ok
