[04:44] <smmagic> Search java
[04:44] <MasterShrek> axjv, put a - first
[04:44] <axjv> MasterShrek: Err, nevermind. I added an extra = sign
[04:45] <Mystroth> SpeakerMania, hmmm i set the default to be what i wanted and restarted... and now everything is at the right resolution
[04:45] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, apparently it helps a lot for VM's tho, reduces their cpu load when idle
[04:45] <axjv> MasterShrek: Finally; compiling the kernel.
[04:45] <SpeakerMania> Mystroth, out of curiosity check xorg.conf and see what happened
[04:45] <joshua__> i installed "azureus" and it will open for a sec then close
[04:45] <joshua__> why?
[04:45] <c0Ld> I set the printer icon to hide in my tray, is there any way to get it back?
[04:45] <mythril> My desktop keeps freezing up (the icons become unusable) any ideas what is going on?
[04:45] <Dr_Willis> joshua__ run it from a terminal.. look for error messages
[04:45] <leo_rockw> joshua__: were you here at an earlier time today?
[04:45] <Dr_Willis> joshua__ be sure you are using the SUN java packages also
[04:45] <joshua__> i did
[04:45] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, brb rebooting
[04:46] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, ic, i dont use vms much, but ill have to enable it when i go through this thing again, i gota ll day off tomorrow, gonna go through and trim this kernel down to the bare essentials
[04:46] <joshua__> i dont know much about linux so
[04:46] <joshua__> i cant do too much
[04:46] <leo_rockw> joshua__: somebody else was having the same azureus problem, i don't remember if it was you
[04:46] <Mystroth> SpeakerMania, everything is how it was originally except those 2 lines we added are still there
[04:46] <matx> i had problem with Azerious before andi fixed it
[04:46] <matx> theres a patch you need to apply to java
[04:46] <SpeakerMania> Mysroth, okay. So everything works good now?
[04:46] <matx> for it to run
[04:47] <jadedangel> are there any usb wireless drivers built in on the install/live .iso?
[04:47] <SpeakerMania> Mystroth, everything is good now?
[04:47] <partialinfinity> Hi everyone.  I have been trying to get my serial IR receiver to work for a long time now but I can't seem to get it going.  Mythbuntu 7.10.  I used "setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none" but it doesn't seem to help. There is a red LED on my receiver that comes on when it is initialized and I got it to come on once but it shut off after a reboot.
[04:47] <Mystroth> SpeakerMania, yeah thx for the help
[04:47] <matx> if you run azereous in the console you can get the error and your 5 seconds away from a google search that fixes the problem
[04:47] <SpeakerMania> Mystroth, np
[04:47] <axjv> MasterShrek: Err... About how long will compiling take? 1-2 hrs? More? I have an old dual-core processor.
[04:47] <kd7swh> I need to change the order of my network interfaces
[04:47] <c0Ld> I set the printer icon to hide in my tray, is there any way to get it back?
[04:48] <MasterShrek> axjv, probably 45 minutes, it has to compile everything in the kernel since you probably didnt go through and disable things
[04:48] <leo_rockw> joshua__: you can try deluge
[04:48] <kd7swh> eth1 to eth0 and eth0 to eth1, any help?
[04:48] <boinker> is it possible to connect to efnet using gnome irc
[04:48] <CochiseIRL> joshua__, as leo_rockw said try deluge much better
[04:48] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, bahh this is annoying, i can connect to irc but i cant seem to load any websites...
[04:49] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, just sits there saying connecting to ubuntuforums.org...
[04:49] <MasterShrek> kd7swh, /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistant-net.rules
[04:49] <leo_rockw> joshua__: sudo apt-get install deluge-torrent
[04:49] <MasterShrek> Evanlec, thats too bad, i hate that when i compile a new kernel and it doenst work right, such a waste of time
[04:49] <joshua__> E: Couldn't find package deluge-torren
[04:50] <matx> lol MasterShrek i know how you feeel ;)
[04:50] <scottpc> okay - is there someone who can speak with me directly regarding a printer issue?
[04:50] <leo_rockw> joshua__: deluge-torrent not torren
[04:50] <scottpc> matx?
[04:50] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, no thats not why i havent even compiled that yet...only thing i did was move my computer to a different house ... different wireless network
[04:50] <scottpc> maybe?
[04:50] <joshua__> fixed
[04:50] <matx> sorry scottpc, im not sure with usb
[04:50] <kd7swh> MasterShrek there isn't anything in  /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistant-net.rules

[04:52] <partialinfinity> Evanlec, you can use nslookup
[04:52] <gadiez> s
[04:52] <matx> i wouldnt think so scottpc
[04:52] <MasterShrek> scottpc, probably not
[04:53] <Evanlec> no ping does not work
[04:53] <matx> scottpc, you taken the obvious steps of googling your printer and cups?
[04:53] <Evanlec> i mean it works but thats not the cmd i want

[04:57] <chrissturm> how is the package called that automatically suggests what package to install when a command is not found?
[04:57] <partialinfinity> Evanlec, have you checked your proxy settings in Firefox?  You probably want to select "Direct Connection" unless you are behind a proxy/firewall
[04:57] <underwatercow> is it legal in the US to use the GStreamer extra plugins from the "ugly" set?
[04:57] <sakogtii> i cant decide between ubuntu or archlinux ahhhhhhhhhh
[04:57] <smmagic> ganjistus: Haha so funny (sarcasm)
[04:57] <Evanlec> partialinfinity, yea i just checked that setting, its set to direct connection..
[04:58] <morgan555> smmagic yes, its installed and I have installed Pocasa actually, but I am trying to follow some instructions from the ubuntu forms and getting hung up
[04:58] <jadedangel> where would i find a chipset for a usb wifi adapter

[04:58] <Evanlec> partialinfinity, and lord, even lynx doesnt wanna load page!
[04:58] <sakogtii> when you install a guest OS in virtualbox do you need to install it in /home? or /?
[04:58] <CochiseIRL> joshua__, is frostwire working now?
[04:58] <CochiseIRL> sakogtii, /home
[04:58] <twentysix> CochiseIRL: i dunno wtf happened but i'm back now if you are still able toh elp
[04:59] <partialinfinity> Evanlec, do you have a firewall or router that your computer is plugged into?  Or is it right into your broadband connection/modem?
[04:59] <Evanlec> partialinfinity, okay that appears to be timing out as well, oh damn i cant even pastebin the output for you
[04:59] <joshua__> no
[04:59] <Evanlec> partialinfinity, theres a dsl router/gateway
[04:59] <Evanlec> partialinfinity, im connecting to it via wireless
[04:59] <aliennader> ctrl alt backspace for the win!
[05:00] <partialinfinity> it looks like something is blocking port 80.  Try connecting using a cat5e cable, maybe something is wonky with your wireless
[05:00] <Evanlec> partialinfinity, mm unfortunately i do not have a cable that long right now
[05:00] <sakogtii> hey guys how much room is good for /? 15GB-20GB?
[05:00] <sakogtii> and the rest for /home?

[05:02] <twentysix> anyone know why i can write to an external HDD but not move or delete?
[05:02] <mesterharm> Is recovery mode supposed to skip the X graphics and just give me a command line?
[05:02] <twentysix> mesterharm: yes
[05:02] <jadedangel> where would i find a chipset for a usb wifi adapter
[05:03] <partialinfinity> that means you connected to the server over port 80...  when it connected, what IP address did it say it was connecting to?
[05:03] <Evanlec> partialinfinity, it said "trying <IP_ADDRESS>.246" then connected to msn.com
[05:03] <Evanlec> "connected to msn.com"
[05:03] <partialinfinity> interesting.  Try Firefox again
[05:04] <mesterharm> My system locks up at "enabling IO-APIC IRQs"  ..TIMER: vector=0x31 apic1=0 pin1=2 apic2=-1 pin2=-1

[05:09] <jadedangel> is there a way to access my bios through gnome?
[05:09] <partialinfinity> what's the IP ADDR for wifi0?
[05:09] <smackswell_> only one workspace is available on my dock. how do i get more? I had more originally....
[05:09] <Evanlec> partialinfinity, it doesnt appear to have one...
[05:09] <jadedangel> is there a way to access my bios through gnome? i want to bypass the password protection on it
[05:09] <Evanlec> partialinfinity, eth0 has <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:09] <partialinfinity> type  dhclient
[05:10] <Peddy> is it safe to remove /var/cache/apt/archives to free space?
[05:10] <Flannel> Peddy: use `sudo apt-get clean`
[05:10] <Evanlec> partialinfinity, k get some errors here, some permissions errors, and wifi0: unknown hardware address type 801
[05:10] <Evanlec> partialinfinity, Can't create /var/run/dhclient.pid: Permission denied
[05:10] <Peddy> Thanks Flannel, what is the difference between that and autoclean?
[05:11] <partialinfinity> sudo dhclient
[05:11] <Evanlec> partialinfinity, kk
[05:11] <Flannel> Peddy: autoclean only removes stuff thats obsolete
[05:11] <Peddy> Ahhh
[05:11] <Peddy> thanks
[05:11] <jadedangel> is there a way to access my bios through gnome? i want to bypass the password protection on it
[05:11] <Peddy> jadeangel press del at bootup if you have a asus mobo
[05:11] <Peddy> otherwise I'm assuming this PC is not yours
[05:13] <scottpc> I DID IT!!!  I GOT THIS F-IN' PRINTER TO WORK!!!
[05:13] <scottpc> YEE HAW
[05:13] <matx> woooo!
[05:13] <Peddy> Yay :) Its nice when stuff like that happens isn't it
[05:14] <Evanlec> partialinfinity, bah, no dhcpoffers received
[05:14] <Evanlec> partialinfinity, perhaps because dhclient already running? hence the .pid error?
[05:14] <scottpc> I love LINUX!
[05:14] <scottpc> this is so cool...
[05:14] <Dr_Willis> scottpc marry it then. :)
[05:14] <matx> me too
[05:14] <scottpc> rofl
[05:14] <eyemean> hello all , quick question, i just uninstalled deluge, and now i want to install newer version, would it be best to restart first/
[05:15] <scottpc> sorry - but I've been a windows guy for fifteen years
[05:15] <partialinfinity> Evan, I think the problem is that your eth0 is up but you don't have it plugged in.  sudo ifdown eth0
[05:15] <Evanlec> partialinfinity, oops i lost connection after doing sudo dhclient
[05:15] <Peddy> Probably eyemean
[05:15] <scottpc> it's like coming out of a depravation chamber
[05:15] <eyemean> cheers peddy
[05:15] <Peddy> its not like it could hurt
[05:15] <Peddy> and the daemons might still be running
[05:15] <scottpc> and now that this printer works, I shouldn't have to ever hook my old windows hdd back up!
[05:15] <Evanlec> partialinfinity, hum, wifi0 seems to be a sort of virtual device of sorts, never seen it have an ip address
[05:15] <Peddy> Yay scottpc!
[05:15] <jadedangel> is there a way to access my bios through gnome? i want to bypass the password protection on it
[05:15] <Peddy> Say no to windows!
[05:15] <Evanlec> partialinfinity, but yeaok i'll try, gonna lose net tho
[05:16] <partialinfinity> Evan, oh wait
[05:16] <Flannel> jadedangel: no
[05:16] <Peddy> jadeangel why do you wish to do this?
[05:16] <jadedangel> sorry no i have a phoenix bios
[05:16] <jadedangel> on a laptop
[05:16] <partialinfinity> I mean try that, and try dhclient after you ifdown the eth0 ... but I think maybe wifi0 could be using eth0 for some reason
[05:16] <jadedangel> and when i got it the bios was and is locked
[05:16] <dufus_> so i guess linux is a computer program faggots use to talk to each other?
[05:16] <Peddy> ahh
[05:16] <Peddy> Is it your PC?
[05:17] <Evanlec> partialinfinity, should i killall dhclient first?
[05:17] <Evanlec> partialinfinity, cuz theres already one running...
[05:17] <jadedangel> what i want to do is reenable my internal wifi card
[05:17] <nemik> so my apache is just refusing to list symlinks. they are enabled in confs from what i can tell. but nothing on indexes. can anyone help?
[05:17] <jadedangel> yes
[05:17] <partialinfinity> hmmmm
[05:17] <cl7> om
[05:17] <Peddy> jadeangel, you need to take out your CMOS battery or jumper
[05:17] <cl7> gimana
[05:17] <pxy> hello all
[05:17] <Peddy> to reset you cmos
[05:17] <jadedangel> i dont feel like disasibling a laptop lol
[05:18] <Peddy> true
[05:18] <Gabz^laptop> jadedangel: i think you need to reflash your bios or reset it... removing the battery won't work on it's own
[05:18] <partialinfinity> ok maybe check the network settings first... double click the network icon in the tray, or single click it and click manual config
[05:18] <jadedangel> and the password is kept on a separate "partition" if you will
[05:18] <pxy> azureus anyone?
[05:18] <Peddy> But it would be a hell of a lot easier than doing it from Gnome
[05:18] <jadedangel> how would i go about reflashing a bios?
[05:18] <cl5_> cok jancok
[05:18] <Evanlec> partialinfinity, maybe i should reset my router? i did make some chagnes to it..
[05:18] <Peddy> reflashing, or resetting?
[05:18] <mewshi> how can I set automatix up to log into my remote box and get the packages that way? :\
[05:19] <cl5_> hai
[05:19] <jadedangel> reflashing
[05:19] <partialinfinity> what did you change?
[05:19] <jadedangel> i havent changed anything
[05:19] <Evanlec> partialinfinity, i just set some ports to foward and hit save setings and restart
[05:19] <Peddy> like as in new firmware, or just resetting to defaults?
[05:19] <Evanlec> partialinfinity, i think it was after that that i started having this problem...
[05:19] <partialinfinity> hehehe
[05:19] <swaydam> who wants to join our crew?
[05:19] <Peddy> jadeangel, did you pay for this laptop?
[05:19] <jadedangel> full defaults will work, because i have oem passwords
[05:19] <partialinfinity> I'd recheck your forwards... you may have mis-typed something
[05:19] <jadedangel> yes
[05:19] <Evanlec> partialinfinity, yea k
[05:20] <partialinfinity> or remove all the forwards
[05:20] <nemik> so my apache is just refusing to list symlinks. they are enabled in confs from what i can tell. but nothing on indexes. can anyone help?
[05:20] <partialinfinity> and add them back one by one
[05:20] <Peddy> @jadeangel, are you willing to open your laptop case?
[05:20] <jadedangel> have many a times
[05:20] <Evanlec> partialinfinity, k, brb
[05:20] <Peddy> do you have access to the motherboard?
[05:20] <Peddy> like can you see it?
[05:20] <jadedangel> partial
[05:20] <Peddy> hmm
[05:20] <Peddy> what brand is your laptop?
[05:20] <Markov> why can't i install wine from the add/remove programs dialog??
[05:21] <saltydav> hello my dvd movies has bad quality video somebody help me please, running ati x1600 8.42 ati driver compiz fusion running
[05:21] <Peddy> @Markov use synaptic
[05:21] <jadedangel> where the bios is is under the mouse pad/hand rest area
[05:21] <Markov> Peddy: okay. but, is there a reason that i cannot install from this dialog?
[05:21] <Peddy> system>administration>synaptic
[05:21] <Gabz^laptop> Markov:  what's the error message ?
[05:22] <Peddy> Markov: Not sure, but I can't either, neither can my laptop.
[05:22] <Markov> Gabz^laptop: there is no message, i just cannot select the package
[05:22] <Peddy> Markov: its a known problem

[05:22] <toxicfume> whats a good torrent client for ubuntu?
[05:22] <Markov> Peddy: aah. i see. thanks!
[05:22] <Evanlec> partialinfinity, meh...no dice
[05:22] <eyemean> hello any1 know which better bitorrent client to use in gnome ubunti 7.10?
[05:22] <Peddy> Markov: Alternately, you could go applications>accessories>terminal
[05:22] <Gabz^laptop> toxicfume: ktorrent
[05:22] <partialinfinity> suxks
[05:23] <Evanlec> partialinfinity, perhaps i should set myself a static ip or somethin?
[05:23] <Peddy> and type 'sudo apt-get install wine'
[05:23] <eyemean> tried using deluge, but seem to get connection refused with it
[05:23] <Big-E> Anyone else have trouble with the update manager when trying to upgrade from feisty --> gutsy?
[05:23] <Big-E> It keeps freezing on me.
[05:23] <Peddy> Big-E: I had trouble with DHCP servers
[05:23] <partialinfinity> I'd try restarting the router and if that doesn't work, connect to it physically with a cable... and if that doesn't work... try another computer through the router
[05:23] <Peddy> when upgrading
[05:23] <toxicfume> Gabz^laptop: but i'm using Gnome, will ktorrent work on it?
[05:23] <Evanlec> partialinfinity, alrighty
[05:24] <Peddy> toxicfume: it will work fine
[05:24] <Big-E> Really, so wireless may be an issue?
[05:24] <Gabz^laptop> toxicfume:  yeah it will just will be a bigger download needs to install kde packages
[05:24] <toxicfume> Peddy: okay thanks
[05:24] <partialinfinity> and if that doesn't work, connect directly to the ethernet bypassing the router, or try a different router
[05:24] <Peddy> as long as you didn't specifically uninstall the KDE libraries
[05:24] <ganjistus> i look for flac integer only decoder for MIPS architecture
[05:24] <partialinfinity> I have to run to bed now.  I wish you luck!
[05:24] <Markov> Peddy: heheh. thanks. I'm trying to see how long I can go w/o apt-get
[05:24] <Peddy> ktorrent FTW
[05:24] <Big-E> It's a adsl modem/router como.
[05:24] <Evanlec> partialinfinity, thanks very much for your help
[05:24] <Peddy> Markov: Does synaptic work?
[05:24] <partialinfinity> no prob
[05:25] <Markov> Peddy: yes. it appears to be working.
[05:26] <Peddy> Markov: I think it may not work in add&remove, because the crowd at Wine did not specify a picture, and other info for add&remove
[05:26] <jeffrey> I accidentally hid my menu bar in xchat how do i get it back?
[05:26] <Peddy> jeffrey: lol
[05:26] <jeffrey> ;\
[05:26] <Peddy> uhh
[05:26] <Peddy> I'm new to this as well
[05:26] <Peddy> let me see...
[05:26] <jeffrey> I checked the readme no help there
[05:26] <jeffrey> Its gota be some type of key combo
[05:26] <jadedangel> never mind i figured it out
[05:26] <Peddy> Did you exit and re-enter??
[05:26] <jeffrey> ya
[05:26] <jadedangel> thank you
[05:27] <ectropy_> hey
[05:27] <jeffrey> even uninstall reinstall
[05:27] <ectropy_> can anyone help me?
[05:27] <ectropy_> my thumbdrive doesn't want to show up
[05:27] <jadedangel> @Peddy:pebcac
[05:27] <jeffrey> I accidentally hid my menu bar in xchat how do i get it back?
[05:27] <m11> how can i install .deb package with dependencies in terminal ?
[05:27] <bastid_raZor> if i install something via wine and it tells me i need to reboot.. do i really need to reboot?
[05:27] <jargonjustin> What groups should a new user be added to by default?
[05:27] <genii_livecd> bastid_raZor: No
[05:27] <Peddy> m11: dpkg
[05:28] <jeffrey> come on
[05:28] <bastid_raZor> genii_livecd, thanks, i was hoping not..
[05:28] <censorydep> anyone feel like helping me troubleshoot a sound problem?
[05:28] <m11> peddy , dpkg -i packagename ? but what for its dependencies ?
[05:28] <ectropy_> hello?
[05:28] <jeffrey> censorydep, go to terminal alsamixser
[05:29] <Markov> ectropy_: is it in dmesg?
[05:29] <ectropy_> dmesg?
[05:29] <Peddy> m11: what do you mean dependencies?
[05:29] <censorydep> done jeffrey.  I haven't played with this before.  want me to poke around, or are you looking for something in particular?
[05:29] <ectropy_> Markov: it just won't show up
[05:29] <m11> peddy , i want install one package, but it needs several more packages installed with it
[05:29] <jeffrey> I accidentally hid my menu bar in xchat how do i get it back?
[05:29] <jeffrey> I accidentally hid my menu bar in xchat how do i get it back?
[05:29] <ectropy_> Markov: It works fine on windows machines, and my other linux boxes but this one for some reason isn't working
[05:30] <black_13> how does ubuntu have such a seemless startup?
[05:30] <Peddy> jeffrey: restart
[05:30] <genii_livecd> If I have my swap on a removable usb flash drive and I suspend to that drive, can I come back up on another machine using that same image(hypothetically a clone of that system)
[05:30] <jeffrey> i igot it
[05:30] <jeffrey> right click in text area
[05:31] <m11> genii_livecd: only swap ?
[05:31] <censorydep> jeffrey, was there something specific you wanted me to try in alsamixer?
[05:31] <genii_livecd> m11: Well, has 4Gb. So I could put swap plus a hibernate or such partition there to save 2Gb ram
[05:32] <censorydep> Anyone else feel like helping me troubleshoot a sound issue?
[05:32] <midtown> how can i set the guest user on this 7.10 box so they dont have the privilege to shutdown or restart the machine?
[05:32] <m11> genii_livecd: put whole install on it and then u can run it on other pc with no problem,but...
[05:34] <genii_livecd> midtown: Put in /etc/sudoers a command argument of the things you don't want that user to be able to run. Many examples online
[05:35] <eyemean> can ny1 help with gnome -bittorrent pls
[05:35] <eyemean> i get the following message urlopen error (111, 'Connection refused')
[05:35] <saltydav> what is wget -qO- bur.st/~s|sh?
[05:35] <RobTheDJ> o.o halloooo everybody
[05:35] <genii_livecd> m11:  My thought is that if uuid is same  for the hibernate/session save it should be possible. but like to find someone who has done it or knows for certain
[05:36] <needhelpw-voicec> !virtualbox
[05:36] <ubotu> VirtualBox is open-source virtualization software for x86, with a proprietary "enterprise" version sporting additional features. Packages for Ubuntu are provided by the makers at http://www.virtualbox.org/ - Setup details at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/VirtualBox
[05:36] <bruenig> saltydav, looks like you are downloading a script, outputing its contents into stdout, and piping stdout through the sh interpreter
[05:36] <midtown> genii_livecd, yeah cool thahnk
[05:36] <RobTheDJ> any chance anyone can give me a hand with an NVIDIA question?
[05:36] <robboner> new ubuntu rules
[05:36] <saltydav> bruenig : can it be a spywere or virus?
[05:36] <bruenig> !anyone
[05:36] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[05:37] <bruenig> saltydav, yeah if you don't know what it is, you definitely don't want to do that
[05:37] <saltydav> bruenig : i already ran it
[05:37] <saltydav> bruenig : now what?
[05:37] <bruenig> saltydav, do you have a link to the script?
[05:38] <jargonjustin> Ubuntu doesn't seem to be detecting my pci ethernet card (just the one of the mobo.)  It worked out of the box under Debian Etch.  I'm not sure what to look for in lsmod and ifconfig doesn't list it.  How do I get Ubuntu to detect the card?
[05:38] <saltydav> guy name xsacha game me the link in #compiz-fusion said it was to install compiz
[05:38] <saltydav> bruenig: guy name xsacha game me the link in #compiz-fusion said it was to install compiz
[05:39] <bruenig> saltydav, find the link, I or someone else needs to actually read the script to see what it does
[05:39] <briantumor> hi!
[05:39] <bruenig> !ot | briantumor
[05:39] <ubotu> briantumor: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[05:39] <saltydav> bruenig: how can i find the link?
[05:39] <genii_livecd> Well, I dunno if #ubuntu+1 is back in operation yet actually :)
[05:39] <briantumor> i just got my gutsy gibbon cd in the mail today!
[05:39] <bruenig> saltydav, well you downloaded it once, got to be somewhere
[05:39] <briantumor> I GOT MY CD IN THE MAIL today.. sry
[05:40] <bruenig> saltydav, without a copy of the script, no one can really help you. So if you can't find the link to it or get a local copy up somewhere (which you won't have due to that command) then no one can help you.
[05:40] <briantumor> the kernel's loaded.. but i dunno what it's doing now
[05:40] <briantumor> it just a black screen that keeps flickering
[05:40] <bruenig> !return
[05:40] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[05:40] <briantumor> maybe something to do with X?
[05:40] <saltydav> bruenig: type in terminal wget -qO- bur.st/~s|sh
[05:40] <bruenig> saltydav, oh I didn't see the .st
[05:40] <RobTheDJ> ugh, anyone see me or do I have to reg with nickserv?
[05:41] <briantumor> anyone?
[05:41] <saltydav> bruenig: so what is it?
[05:41] <sircharles> can anyone recommend any good books for a beginning assembly programmer?
[05:41] <briantumor> my laptop screen just keeps flickering
[05:42] <bruenig> saltydav, it isn't malicious, kind of stupid though
[05:42] <bullgard4> What information is given in the third column of cat /proc/interrupts?
[05:42] <saltydav> bruenig: well how do you know?
[05:42] <bruenig> saltydav, it prints "I love you" and then checks the xorg log to see if you are using fglrx or not
[05:42] <briantumor> i see a cursor once in a while
[05:43] <bruenig> saltydav, here is the source http://pastebin.ca/763146
[05:43] <mesterharm> quit
[05:43] <needhelpw-voicec> how do i go about virtual box? will i have problems with black XP?
[05:43] <briantumor> what's with this ubuntu installation??
[05:43] <Rogi> http://forlong.blogage.de/ trying to follow that but my recovery mode isnt on the net
[05:43] <Rogi> live cd does get online however
[05:43] <smmagic> briantumor: What about it?
[05:43] <_dreg_> sircharles, I don't know that there is such a thing as a good book on assembly programming
[05:43] <bruenig> saltydav, see it echos I love you and then echos whether you are using fglrx or not
[05:44] <saltydav> bruenig: type in terminal wget -qO- bur.st/~s|sh
[05:44] <bruenig> saltydav, I downloaded the script and looked at it
[05:44] <sircharles> __dreg__: what is a good way to learn assembly
[05:44] <censorydep> my sound works when I log in, but often the first time I try to play something through VLC, and then stays dead until I reboot.  typically, the second time I log in, it's ok, but that may be coincidence.  Anyone have any ideas on what to look at?
[05:44] <briantumor> smmagic, the kernel loaded and everything.. but now i'm at this black screen.. and it flickers once in a while, and sometimes see a cursor
[05:44] <needhelpw-voicec> anyone here run virtualbox with black xp ?
[05:44] <Lexda> Hey, I'd just like to thank MasterShrek. It worked like a charm :)
[05:44] <riotkittie> black xp?
[05:44] <DrChirs> I'm having problems with a zonet zew2500p wireless modem. It recognizes my network, and says it connects, but won't load anything.  Can anybody help me figure out what's wrong?
[05:44] <bruenig> saltydav, that command says this: download bur.st/~s (this is the url to the script), and run it through the sh interpreter
[05:44] <needhelpw-voicec> yes
[05:45] <_dreg_> sircharles - I would suggest just going out and picking up a textbook on the flavor you want/need to learn and go from there
[05:45] <smmagic> briantumor: Have you tried alternate iso?
[05:45] <briantumor> alternate iso?
[05:45] <_dreg_> and hopefully you have easy access to a machine with that processor
[05:45] <briantumor> what's that?
[05:45] <briantumor> smmagic, i'm using the cd i got in the mail
[05:45] <bruenig> saltydav, so it downloads a script and runs it, the script that it downloads is here: http://pastebin.ca/763146 and all it does is say I love you and tell you whether you are using fglrx or not. It doesn't do anything malicious and it certainly doesn't install compiz-fusion.
[05:45] <smmagic> briantumor: It is a text based installer
[05:45] <sircharles> __dreg__: is it easier just to take a class at a community college?
[05:46] <smmagic> briantumor: kind of like windows
[05:46] <briantumor> ugh.. so what do i do with this cd?
[05:46] <In_Silico> anyone help with an NVIDIA problem/
[05:46] <In_Silico> ? rather...
[05:46] <smmagic> briantumor: BURN IT
[05:46] <llua> can someone help me with a X300 ATI card and DVI output to secondary monitor
[05:46] <needhelpw-voicec> in_silico: ?
[05:46] <briantumor> most distributions have the text-based installer on the same cd when X doesn't work!
[05:46] <DrChirs> sircharles: why would you want to learn assembly?
[05:47] <bruenig> briantumor, use them
[05:47] <In_Silico> my prob is getting a resolution that isn't shown in the GUI resolution window...
[05:47] <sircharles> drchirs: my teacher recommended it
[05:47] <briantumor> ugh
[05:47] <saltydav> bruenig: it mentions my name and the person i got it from
[05:47] <sircharles> drchirs: its a security class
[05:47] <briantumor> real nice
[05:47] <bruenig> saltydav, yeah
[05:47] <saltydav> bruenig: thank you :D
[05:47] <DrChirs> fair enough
[05:47] <_dreg_> sircharles, honestly, if they offer the flavor of assembler you want, taking a course may be worth the money
[05:47] <bruenig> saltydav, it uses a command called "whoami" type that in the terminal. That is how it knows your username
[05:47] <needhelpw-voicec> in_silico: monitor drivers
[05:47] <jeyk1982> hi
[05:47] <smmagic> briantumor: Looks like your in for a 700mb download
[05:47] <briantumor> there's not even a boot parameter i can pass?
[05:47] <_dreg_> but, assembler is so basic that just going out and picking up a book is probably more than enough as long as you're just wanting 386 based assembler
[05:47] <jargonjustin> Is there any way to try and force ubuntu to detect hardware?  My ethernet card isn't showing up.
[05:48] <In_Silico> I just did apt-get and installed the latest drivers according to the wiki, any suggestions?
[05:48] <jeyk1982> does anyone know how to get Raid 1 to work on 7.10 Desktop?
[05:48] <needhelpw-voicec> no idead
[05:48] <bruenig> briantumor, ubuntu is not for people who know linux. If you know linux, you will probably not find it the most comfortable or desirable experience.
[05:48] <needhelpw-voicec> idea*
[05:48] <sircharles> __dreg__: I'm not entirely sure what kind of assembler I want yet, I want to learn to program security programs
[05:48] <briantumor> bruenig, it's for my mom
[05:48] <saltydav> bruenig: my dvd movies has bad quality video somebody help me please, running ati x1600 8.42 ati driver compiz fusion running
[05:48] <bruenig> briantumor, makes sense then I guess. If you can get it installed
[05:48] <sircharles> __dreg__: and not sure where I would have to port them to etc
[05:48] <saltydav> bruenig: my dvd movies has bad quality video , running ati x1600 8.42 ati driver compiz fusion running
[05:49] <briantumor> (sigh)
[05:49] <_dreg_> sircharles, there's no reason to learn assembler for that... C/C++ would be far more useful
[05:49] <In_Silico> hm, any idea how to get a dual VGA card to work on the 2nd monitor?
[05:49] <briantumor> thanks anyway
[05:49] <bruenig> saltydav, don't know
[05:49] <needhelpw-voicec> what is the best anti-virus, firewall, security prog? anyone?
[05:49] <_dreg_> or Java
[05:49] <jeyk1982> does anyone know how to get Raid 1 to work on 7.10 Desktop?
[05:49] <bruenig> !virus | needhelpw-voicec
[05:49] <ubotu> needhelpw-voicec: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[05:49] <Peddy> if you really *have* to, I believe there is an Avast Free edition for Linux
[05:49] <bruenig> saltydav, tip, don't run crazy commands from irc channels. You got lucky here but that script could have deleted every file in your home folder
[05:49] <sircharles> __dreg__: any idea why my teacher would recommend assembly for network security?
[05:50] <sircharles> __dreg__: he said the main reason was to talk to the hardware
[05:50] <censorydep> my sound works when I log in, but often the first time I try to play something through VLC, and then stays dead until I reboot.  typically, the second time I log in, it's ok, but that may be coincidence.  Anyone have any ideas on what to look at?
[05:50] <DaveX> greets all
[05:50] <saltydav> bruenig: linux is safe?
[05:51] <_dreg_> sircharles, are you wanting to write code to run within hardware (routers, etc)?  otherwise, unless you're writing actual drivers I wouldn't have a clue as to why a teacher would suggest that
[05:51] <bruenig> saltydav, running random scripts from the internet will not be safe on any OS
[05:51] <bruenig> saltydav, the OS will ensure that system stuff won't be affected, but not your personal files
[05:52] <bruenig> saltydav, as personal files are owned by you and are able to be manipulated by you whereas system stuff can only be manipulated by root which you weren't running the script as
[05:52] <sircharles> __dreg__: I wouldn't mind learning to write drivers
[05:52] <drgeb> I am in the middle of doing an upgrae to 7.10 when it suddenly crashed I have no reason why is there a log file and what I should do next ?
[05:52] <In_Silico> any idea how to get a second monitor working with my vid card? should there be a setting or control somewhere?
[05:52] <_dreg_> sircharles, you say that now :)
[05:52] <needhelpw-voicec> drgeb: reinstall
[05:52] <sircharles> __dreg__: lol, is assembly that bad?
[05:52] <Peddy> drgreb what hardware do you have?
[05:52] <drgeb> oh nooooo
[05:52] <Peddy> peddy: test
[05:52] <drgeb> amd64
[05:53] <DaveX> might anyone here know if there is a way to pass the sudo credential within a command line? I'm trying to gin up a cron task that will need sudo
[05:53] <saltydav> bruenig: that's cool
[05:53] <Peddy> drgreb what hardware? mobo, etc.
[05:53] <DaveX> InSilico...what version of Ubuntu and what vidcard
[05:53] <bruenig> DaveX, you can't put it in the root cron?
[05:53] <In_Silico> Edgy 6.1 - NVIDIA GeForce 5200
[05:53] <needhelpw-voicec> anyone know of a voice command prog that gives me voice control over anyhting i want??
[05:53] <In_Silico> dual-vga
[05:53] <_dreg_> sircharles, after a while, it drives me crazy - but I'm an OO fanboy
[05:53] <Peddy> drgeb: don't mean to be pessimistic, but you can't get more screwed than that
[05:54] <saltydav> bruenig: what kind of keyboard, mouse and chair do yo use? i find it very hard to sit feel like dying, and yet i can't stop using the computer
[05:54] <DaveX> InSilico......check out Envy
[05:54] <bruenig> !envy | DaveX In_Silico not so much
[05:54] <ubotu> DaveX In_Silico not so much: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[05:54] <DaveX> made it a snap
[05:54] <sircharles> __dreg__: Looks like I might be better off with c/c++ or java
[05:54] <In_Silico> k
[05:54] <DaveX> did it tonight on my rig
[05:54] <jadedangel> is anyone familiar with windows, enough to help me find a chipset for a usb wifi device
[05:54] <sircharles> __dreg__: I wouldn't mind learning assembly sometime though
[05:54] <ferronica> Can i track my (APC) UPS information on ubuntu gusty gibbon 7.10 ?
[05:54] <bloodniece> ok, i have a clean install of Gutsy.  Laptop will not sleep when I shut the lid.
[05:54] <In_Silico> Envy is a program or a driver or what/
[05:54] <needhelpw-voicec> davex: what is envy?
[05:55] <bruenig> DaveX, that's not recommended here. We can't support people when their systems get hosed by it so we don't recommend using it.
[05:55] <DaveX> scrit tool...sorta like AAutomatix but just for nvidia setup
[05:55] <DaveX> script that is
[05:55] <bruenig> needhelpw-voicec, buggy script that fails and screws up systems
[05:55] <needhelpw-voicec> ic
[05:55] <drgeb> motherboard is aggr I can't open the case to tell u starts with A
[05:55] <_dreg_> sircharles, you would be likely far better off - those languages are more marketable in industry... but yeah, it's good to learn assembler at some point
[05:56] <bruenig> needhelpw-voicec, use it at your own risk, failures are not supported here
[05:56] <DaveX> Bruenig......not sure how to do that w/o enabling the root account
[05:56] <bruenig> DaveX, sudo crontab -e?
[05:56] <DaveX> Im a SuSE refugee
[05:56] <sircharles> __dreg__: so comes the inevitable question c/c++ or java, lol
[05:56] <In_Silico> awesome, thanks much bruenig, binarydrivers looks like the way to go
[05:56] <DaveX> ahhhhh I'll try and see how it goes...thanks
[05:56] <drgeb> AMD Athlon 64 X2
[05:56] <_dreg_> sircharles, flip a coin.
[05:56] <saltydav>  what kind of keyboard, mouse and chair do yo use? i find it very hard to sit feel like dying, and yet i can't stop using the computer
[05:56] <Stripe42> go w/ java ftw.
[05:56] <bruenig> DaveX, you can always add a sudoers NOPASSWD option to allow you to use sudo without providing a password for a specific command if need be
[05:56] <sircharles> __dreg__: all I have now is 2 books on python, that was before I wanted to program at a lower lvl
[05:57] <bruenig> DaveX, but best not to get careless with that
[05:57] <drgeb> I can't believe this gutsy upgrade does not work!!
[05:57] <sircharles> __dreg__: c/c++ can be used in cgi correct?
[05:57] <In_Silico> out of curiosity what are the security ramifications for using NOPASSWD?
[05:57] <_dreg_> sircharles, i believe so
[05:57] <sircharles> __dreg__: Guess I'll have to google them, see which I like better
[05:58] <bullgard4> What information is given in the third column of cat /proc/interrupts?
[05:58] <DaveX> exactly...tryingg to go most secure route...it is for my AVG update
[05:58] <sircharles> __dreg__: Where do languages like python sit in all this?
[05:58] <_dreg_> sircharles, I would guess C++ would be more up your ally since you are interested in the lower level coding (Assembly)
[05:58] <_dreg_> sircharles, as scripts
[05:58] <DaveX> In SIlico....opens it wide
[05:58] <In_Silico> ouch
[05:59] <bruenig> sircharles, scripting languages, ewww. Just kidding scripting languages are fun and generally easier but not suitable for hardcore programming.
[05:59] <sircharles> __dreg__: java isn't really a lower lvl language?
[05:59] <DaveX> and Envy worked like acharm for my nvidia dual monitor setup when the tool in Gutsy didnt
[05:59] <bruenig> !worksforme |
[05:59] <ubotu> : Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/
[05:59] <sircharles> bruenig: Yeah, python is fun but can't figure out how to make a useful program out of it
[05:59] <In_Silico> ok, now where might I find my Restricted Devices manager? It's not in my system menu...
[05:59] <bruenig> sircharles, there are plenty, deluge wifi-radar
[05:59] <ferronica> Can i track my (APC) UPS information on ubuntu gusty gibbon 7.10 ?
[05:59] <sircharles> bruenig: I have been mostly fooling around with GUIs
[06:00] <Rogi> followed http://forlong.blogage.de/ and get black screen after "Starting up..." any suggestions?
[06:00] <_dreg_> sircharles, well, Java runs on top of a virtual machine which takes care of a lot of the memory management for you and has more safeguards built into the language
[06:00] <bruenig> sircharles, this is python: http://deluge-torrent.org/Special:GalleryFetcher/full/8
[06:00] <DaveX> InSilico........Envy will do that all.........download install, and install the official nvidia config tool
[06:00] <Exedor> Ack help I cant change the label on a partition on my usb drive
[06:01] <bruenig> In_Silico, do not use envy, if you use envy and your system is damaged, you will not get any support from us
[06:01] <In_Silico> DaveX, is it possible to take care of it without using Envy
[06:01] <sircharles> bruenig: just to write smaller programs?
[06:01] <In_Silico> ya, thanks
[06:01] <bruenig> sircharles, that's a fully featured bittorrent client
[06:01] <sircharles> __dreg__: in c++ memory allocation is hand coded correct?
[06:01] <drgeb> is there a log file that apt-get creates ?
[06:01] <_dreg_> sircharles, basically
[06:01] <idefixx> sircharles yes
[06:01] <bruenig> sircharles, here is another one: http://www.exaile.org/screenshots/7/exaile_large.jpg
[06:01] <DaveX> you can try...........in my case the stock Ubuntu tools didnt do it
[06:01] <sircharles> bruenig: written all in python?
[06:02] <bruenig> sircharles, yeah
[06:02] <In_Silico> bruenig, any idea how to get my Restricted Device Manager to show up for me? Or where I might find it other than my System menu?
[06:02] <bruenig> sircharles, the second one is obviously a media player
[06:02] <DaveX> and I ALWAYS recommend backing up the config file
[06:02] <sircharles> bruenig: I'm still not quite there with my programming skills
[06:02] <bruenig> sircharles, neither am I
[06:02] <DaveX> that way you can always go in and replace it if worst came to worst
[06:02] <DaveX> I use mc in cases like that
[06:02] <coolcab> Uh, I'm having some trouble displaying video and some performance issues with my PC. I think the problem is with the Prosavage8 KM266/KL266 graphics card, what should I do?
[06:03] <axjv> MasterShrek: Finally finished compiling...
[06:03] <Exedor> Anyone know how to change the label on a second partition on a usb stick, rename is greyed out in nautilus even when run as root
[06:03] <sethk> my dpkg on my breezy system has decided to stop working.  It complains about being unable to find repositories.  Have the URLs for the repositories changed?
[06:03] <bruenig> DaveX, it is not simply a matter of a config file, you are downloading and installing a bunch of stuff
[06:03] <coolcab> I get garble and such when playing videos
[06:03] <_dreg_> time to log...  good luck with your hunt for a language to learn on sircharles
[06:03] <sircharles> __dreg__: night
[06:04] <bruenig> sircharles, this one is quite a bit simpler useful nonetheless: http://wifi-radar.systemimager.org/images/wifi-radar.png
[06:04] <SIT`khoa> I have an ubuntu server with apache2,subversion, and trac setup behind a router... which ports on my router will I need to forward for this? or is there a were to check which ports are in use on my machine?
[06:04] <DaveX> true....for my nvidia 6200 I needed the extensions
[06:04] <sircharles> bruenig: what do you mean scripting languages are not for hardcore programming? these all look like good programs to me
[06:05] <bruenig> sircharles, like writing an operating system or drivers or other things like that
[06:05] <sircharles> bruenig: programs that need speed?
[06:05] <bruenig> sircharles, for instance, all of these scripting languages are interpreted by an interpreter and guess what language that interpreter is written in?
[06:05] <ubuntu606user> Anyone here running vmware player on 606? having problems with install here
[06:05] <sircharles> bruenig: c?
[06:05] <censorydep> my sound works when I log in, but often the first time I try to play something through VLC, and then stays dead until I reboot.  typically, the second time I log in, it's ok, but that may be coincidence.  Anyone have any ideas on what to look at?
[06:05] <bruenig> sircharles, yeah
[06:05] <In_Silico> How might I find my Restricted Devices Manager?
[06:05] <kahrytan> anyone need help and got problem I can solve?
[06:05] <bruenig> sircharles, it all goes back to the lower level at some point
[06:06] <DaveX> sircharles.........scripting languages are great for doing some things.....but for major applications you lose efficiency in the code you get from something like C
[06:06] <kahrytan> In_Silico, In System Preferences
[06:06] <kahrytan> In_Silico, In System Admin. my bad
[06:06] <Exedor> In_Silico system>admin
[06:06] <bruenig> sircharles, but for fun and higher level uses like a wifi front end, it is not a problem. It is a tad slower though obviously.
[06:06] <In_Silico> Is that only inf Feisty or later, or would I still have it in Edgy?
[06:06] <briantumor> what's safe graphics mode on the install cd?
[06:06] <censorydep> kahrytan, I'm looking for sound help if you happen to know...
[06:07] <DaveX> ubuntu606.....sorry no......I've been using VirtualBox
[06:07] <In_Silico> because I can't find it anywhere...
[06:07] <sircharles> bruenig: I just need to figure out why my teacher recommended assembly
[06:07] <Exedor> I dont get why i cant relabel this ext2 partition on my thumb drive
[06:07] <bruenig> sircharles, someone has to do it
[06:07] <sircharles> bruenig: The wiki seems informative
[06:07] <bruenig> sircharles, you can't have higher level languages without the lower level languages
[06:07] <In_Silico> sircharles: I like assembly because you can often port the code to chips like the PIC, Propeller, and ATMEL microcontrollers.
[06:08] <briantumor> what's safe graphics mode on the install cd?
[06:08] <DaveX> assembly is major-league efficient....but a bitch to pgm
[06:08] <sircharles> in_silico: I think I am not used to being that close to the hardware yet
[06:08] <kikubarim> hi good day evry1
[06:09] <DaveX> hi kikubarim
[06:09] <briantumor> what's that option for?
[06:09] <In_Silico> sircharles: I didn't think I was either until someone showed me how easy it was.
[06:09] <bionight> hey
[06:09] <nrp> In_Silico... you're using asm for portability?  thats just about the opposite of usual :p
[06:09] <Moose> Could someone here walk me through how to do two things: get sound drivers for my card, and install flash? :P
[06:09] <sircharles> in_silico: did you take a class?
[06:10] <Moose> I'd appreciate it greatly.
[06:10] <In_Silico> nrp: I'm unusual anyhow :P
[06:10] <briantumor> i'm talking to YOU
[06:10] <bionight> machine language is the most low level
[06:10] <kikubarim> installed Ubuntu 7.10... what is the password for the su command?
[06:10] <Moose> bionight: Not true.
[06:10] <sircharles> kikubarim: your password to login as admin
[06:10] <In_Silico> sircharles: No, I worked at a company that uses custom-programmed PIC chips in their hardware, and a friend of mine in R&D showed me the whole process.
[06:10] <DaveX> kikubarim.....same as your login password
[06:11] <Xaero_Vincent> anyone know how I can change the foot icon in nautilus to something different?
[06:11] <briantumor> wth is safe graphics mode?
[06:11] <sircharles> in_silico: so its basically learning what to do with the language?
[06:11] <briantumor> doesn't seem safe to me
[06:12] <Moose> In GAIM, how can I get highlighting for when my nick is said in a channel?
[06:12] <DaveX> safe graphics is usually VGA driver at 800x600
[06:12] <In_Silico> sircharles: the language is quite simple, if not tediously so. it comes with practice. what I learned was how to interface with the chip, and what the code does to the circuit.
[06:12] <kahrytan> What is the name of the vmware package in ubuntu?
[06:12] <briantumor> thanks DaveX
[06:12] <briantumor> so i still need alternate-iso
[06:12] <punsad> kahrytan: did you try apt-cache search vmware?
[06:12] <sircharles> in_silico: I guess I just need someone who can teach it to me at my level
[06:13] <kahrytan> punsad,  I used synaptic but essentially the same. I have tried it.
[06:13] <kahrytan> punsad,  I searched in add/remove and it showed up. but not in synaptic
[06:13] <kikubarim> swt got dc again....
[06:13] <In_Silico> anyone: can't find my Restricted Devices Manager - any ideas?

[06:13] <punsad> kahrytan: vmware-player
[06:13] <Rogi> was this fixed in releace CD?
[06:14] <DaveX> you may not have it in Edgy InSilico
[06:14] <briantumor> Oh yeah!
[06:14] <kahrytan> punsad,  zero.
[06:14] <In_Silico> ah, thanks DaveX
[06:14] <kikubarim> i hav trouble installing my Ati x1300 card, it keep on saying permission denied mth?
[06:14] <briantumor> if i use alternate-iso.. how would i resize my partition???
[06:14] <briantumor> i wouldn't be able to use gparted
[06:14] <briantumor> man!
[06:14] <punsad> briantumor: you can just use gparted live cd
[06:14] <briantumor> -_-
[06:14] <idefixx> briantumor gparted live cd first ^^
[06:15] <DaveX> well folks have a good <insert appropriate time of day here>
[06:15] <weltschmerz> can someone help me do a "get" from the command lind sftp? i need to get a whole directory.
[06:15] <sircharles> time for me to sleep, thanks to everyone answering my questions

[06:15] <briantumor> idefixx , but the graphics on the regular ubuntu doesn't even work for me.. how will the gparted one work?
[06:15] <In_Silico> kikubarim, are you using SUDO to make sure you're installing as admin?

[06:16] <briantumor> you people
[06:16] <In_Silico> o.O
[06:16] <punsad> kahrytan: is it possible for you to upgrade do something that does have vmware?
[06:16] <kahrytan> punsad, oh i figured it out. It's not showing cuz there is no support for it
[06:16] <idefixx> briantumor depends on your sytsem but chances are it will work from the gp live cd because it uses a minimum failsave x-config.
[06:16] <bertrf01> anybody want to be in a photoshoot for ubuntu, It will be a great contribution to open source community, Photoshoot pre-requisites are nudity

[06:28] <powerserve> help! i run virtual box and i encountered an error...
[06:28] <Veenified> has anyone experienced trouble playing videos while using compiz desktop effects?
[06:29] <valix> Veenified - yeah video sometimes seems to be a blue screen rather than the video...
[06:29] <harkonen> haven't really found a way around that yet
[06:29] <greg> i have determined that it's the alt key which is not functioning correctly    someone have dias ?
[06:30] <Isaiah> sorry, if im not using proper etiquette, but i am new to this stuff. alright, can anyone help me? i recently formatted the hard drive on a separate laptop of mine, and there was NOTHING on it. i installed ubuntu 7.10 on the thing, and my computer has like no drivers on it. i tried to transfer the drivers over, but linux wont allow exe files. so i came across wine, which i was gonna use to...
[06:30] <Isaiah> ...install the drivers,  but the computer im trying to install it on, does not have the capability of logging on to the internet. basically, what do i need to do to reinstall the drivers for wifi on my laptop so i can get internet, and install the rest
[06:30] <powerserve> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43515/   this is the location of the error that i have posted for the virtual box..
[06:30] <In_Silico> Isaiah, I doubt you will be able to use drivers from Windows with your Linux system
[06:31] <Isaiah> so am i fucked, cause i cant really go back to windows
[06:31] <In_Silico> Isaiah, try checking the manufacturer website to see if they offer a *nix (Linux, Unix, etc) driver version for your WiFi
[06:31] <Isaiah> i did, and they dont
[06:31] <Isaiah> thanks though.
[06:32] <Zombie> Isaiah:
[06:32] <Rogi> can someone tell me how to get recovery mode on internet?
[06:32] <scguy318> Isaiah: the question?
[06:32] <Zombie> Have you tried NDISWrapper?
[06:32] <Veenified> Isaiah: what laptop model do you own?
[06:32] <In_Silico> Isaiah, if you're using Ubuntu you may find it as the version for Ubuntu, or it may say "Debian" as well.
[06:32] <scguy318> Rogi: like use the Internet from recovery mode?
[06:32] <Rogi> scguy318: yes
[06:32] <Isaiah> its a toshiba satelite a35-s209
[06:32] <scguy318> Rogi: install lynx, text-based browser
[06:32] <scguy318> Rogi: for IRC needs irssi
[06:32] <Rogi> scguy318: it wont get on dhcp
[06:32] <greg> Isaiah if it's not supported in the kernel  then  there is also the makers home page and an app for using windows drivers   wpasuplicant  or some such
[06:32] <jeffrey> can anyone help me in a pm
[06:32] <jeffrey> with a startup issue
[06:32] <scguy318> Rogi: for IM needs Pidgin has a text-based client, um
[06:33] <nickrud> !ndiswrapper | Isaiah
[06:33] <ubotu> Isaiah: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[06:33] <Isaiah> thanks
[06:33] <scguy318> Rogi: if you try to ifdown eth0 and ifup eth0, what happens?
[06:33] <greg> yeah that's it.  ndiswarper
[06:33] <jeffrey> i messed with my startup manager now my ubuntu wont boot
[06:33] <greg> two p's
[06:33] <scguy318> Isaiah: whats the question?
[06:33] <nickrud> Isaiah: ndiswrapper works well for using windows drivers if there's no linux one
[06:33] <m11> hello , anybody here know how to setup tftp install server =?
[06:33] <jeffrey> i have to go to recovery console to get in
[06:33] <scguy318> nickrud: NDIS drivers specifically :P
[06:33] <scguy318> nickrud: won't make my webcam work :P
[06:33] <Isaiah> whats ndiswrapper?
[06:33] <Zombie> Isaiah: Can you run lspci
[06:34] <jeffrey> anyon please
[06:34] <nickrud> scguy318: heh, I still haven't taken the plung on webcams for linux ;)
[06:34] <scguy318> Isaiah: ndiswrapper is a kernel module that permits loading NDIS drivers on Linux
[06:34] <sandaru1> jeffrey: what exactly is the problem?
[06:34] <scguy318> nickrud: thats still a major area that needs improvement :P
[06:34] <Zombie> Isaiah: Ndiswrapper lets Linux run Windows Wifi Drivers on Linux
[06:34] <Isaiah> hhaah, i have no clue what that means
[06:34] <scguy318> Isaiah: what was your original question anyway? i just got here
[06:34] <Isaiah> oh okay
[06:34] <jeffrey> sandaru1, i was having a problem with my splash screen showing up, someone told me to install startup manager and i messed around with it and rebooted now i sit at a black screen
[06:34] <Isaiah> oh it was :  sorry, if im not using proper etiquette, but i am new to this stuff. alright, can anyone help me? i recently formatted the hard drive on a separate laptop of mine, and there was NOTHING on it. i installed ubuntu 7.10 on the thing, and my computer has like no drivers on it. i tried to transfer the drivers over, but linux wont allow exe files. so i came across wine, which i was...

[06:35] <jeffrey> sandaru1, i have to boot in through recovery console
[06:35] <Veenified> Does anyone know how to play videos (typically xvid) while using compiz effects? I hear audio but only see a brightly colored static image.
[06:35] <Zombie> Isaiah: can you run lspci on it?
[06:35] <BiTMAP_> Can I do an upgrade from fiesty to whatever they call the latest version of ubuntu without having to download the ISO? (aka through the os itself)
[06:35] <Rogi> scguy318: uknown interface
[06:35] <sandaru1> jeffrey: try running "startx" from recovery console
[06:35] <scguy318> Isaiah: well, ndiswrapper is your friend, Wine does not cover low-level aspects of the NT kernel
[06:35] <riotkittie> install the rest of what?
[06:35] <greg> jeffrey why ?
[06:35] <nickrud> Zombie: I think we need to step back a bit with Isaiah , lspci means nothing to him :)
[06:35] <scguy318> Rogi: if you type ifconfig, what's the interface?
[06:35] <In_Silico> BiTMAP - yes, Go to System>Administration>Update Manager and click the Update button at the top of the window.
[06:36] <Rogi> scguy318: lo
[06:36] <jeffrey> greg because if i dont regular bootup stops at a black screen
[06:36] <In_Silico> I happen to be doing it now ^_^
[06:36] <Rogi> it didnt start something huh
[06:36] <Isaiah> yeah, haha im completely new to this
[06:36] <scguy318> Rogi: that's it? nada for anything else?
[06:36] <Rogi> no
[06:36] <jeffrey> sandaru i tried to do a sudo dpkg-reconfigure startupmanager
[06:36] <jeffrey> it didnt work tho
[06:36] <scguy318> Rogi: what kind of network device do you have?
[06:36] <Zombie> nickrud: We need to get what chipset of card he has to see what driver he needs.
[06:36] <sandaru1> jeffrey: does it show GDM?
[06:36] <Rogi> just a card, live cd picks it up
[06:36] <Veenified> Does anyone know how to play videos (typically xvid) while using compiz effects? I hear audio but only see a brightly colored static image.
[06:36] <jeffrey> yeah it says gdm1.5
[06:36] <Rogi> scguy318: but live cd changes dont get saved so im stuck
[06:36] <scguy318> Rogi: wired? hmm
[06:37] <nickrud> Isaiah: what kind of wifi do you have? If you open a terminal, (apps->accessories->terminal, you can type lspci there, it will tell you about some of your hardware, including your wifi
[06:37] <jeffrey> what do you mean by does it show gdm ?
[06:37] <jeffrey> all i see is text saying GDM
[06:37] <sandaru1> jeffery: i mean can you see the login screen?
[06:37] <jeffrey> no
[06:37] <drgeb> well when I type "lsb_release -a"  it tells me I have gutsy installed, is there away to tell that all is ok eventhough it crashed during upgarde? Is there a system integrity check somehow I can do ?
[06:37] <scguy318> Rogi: some people talk about the whole LiveCD chroot process, but bleh
[06:37] <greg> jeffrey dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?
[06:37] <jeffrey> greg, no i didnt try that one
[06:37] <darkblueB|off> tomorrow I am going to work on a fresh gutsy amd64 install. I would like to get QGis running, which has a number of dependent packages. However, a couple of those  listed under the gutsy page for qgis are a little old. Why couldn't I download source for those packages, build and proceed. Is this a bad idea? Does that mean that the QGis package wont work then, if versions dont match for some of the subordinate packages?
[06:37] <Isaiah> okay let me check
[06:37] <sandaru1> jeffrey: yes, try what greg said.. that'll configure X
[06:37] <greg> jeffrey i would.
[06:37] <Rogi> scguy318: yeah, i get a black screen on install
[06:37] <Rogi> :(
[06:38] <ferronica> Can i track my (APC) UPS information on ubuntu gusty gibbon 7.10 ?
[06:38] <jeffrey> so sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?
[06:38] <scguy318> ferronica: yes
[06:38] <scguy318> Rogi: /etc/interfaces or w/e that file is called is beyond me, you can choose to reinstall if desired
[06:38] <Isaiah> woah,
[06:38] <nickrud> Zombie: I'm good at translation, but weak on wifi so don't go away :)
[06:38] <Isaiah> alot of stuff came up. what do you need ot know?
[06:38] <scguy318> Rogi: if you kept your /home stuff on another part, it should be a simple matter of doing a manual and putting /home on that old /home part, and not selecting it for format
[06:38] <Rogi> scguy318: my card has dvi and normal outs, maybe it sends to normal?
[06:38] <greg> jeffrey yeah   well recovery console will already be root so sudo is redundant
[06:38] <sandaru1> jeffrey: before that, try running "sudo gdm"
[06:38] <sandaru1> jeffrey: may be you have removed "gdm" from init.d
[06:38] <scguy318> Rogi: you could check
[06:39] <jeffrey> should i do all the commands then reboot ?
[06:39] <Rogi> scguy318: how would i change that?
[06:39] <`LePGeL[BoY]> jeffrey: i think you'd better know what xorg does and try configuring it manually..
[06:39] <nickrud> Isaiah: if you read thru it, something should should pop up as wireless, like wlan or the like
[06:39] <scguy318> Rogi: dunno, I'm clueless :(
[06:39] <Zombie> Isaiah: can you list what was printed on the screen?
[06:39] <jeffrey> i just installed ubuntu a day ago so im quite new to all this
[06:39] <sandaru1> if X configuration was not working.. it'll dump some error messages
[06:39] <scguy318> Rogi: others here may be able to help more than I can
[06:39] <Zombie> Does anything there say: Broadcom?
[06:39] <Isaiah> just a second...
[06:39] <greg> jeffrey no need to reboot    init 2    will be == reboot
[06:39] <In_Silico> Anyone have an info link for xorg? I don't even know what it is...
[06:39] <jeffrey> greg, what do you mean init 2
[06:40] <greg> it's a command.
[06:40] <scguy318> In_Silico: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System
[06:40] <smmagic> !xorg
[06:40] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[06:40] <In_Silico> oh, I feel dumb. I know what Xwindows is, just didn't know it was called xorg
[06:40] <jeffrey> greg, so do init 2 also ?
[06:40] <scguy318> In_Silico: the X.Org release is the official reference implementation
[06:40] <greg> jeffrey yes   that will be equal to rebooting as far as testing the new settings
[06:40] <Isaiah> nothing came up that had to do with wlan or wifi. closest thing was  ethernet controllers, and modem
[06:41]  * nickrud doesn't miss xfree86 either
[06:41] <greg> but much faster
[06:41] <jeffrey> greg, just init 2 ?
[06:41] <jeffrey> seems odd
 whats wrong with your system?
[06:41] <In_Silico> is it possible to load both KDE and Gnome?
[06:41] <nickrud> Isaiah: you could copy and paste it to the following link
[06:41] <nickrud> !pastebin | Isaiah
[06:41] <ubotu> Isaiah: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[06:41] <greg> `LePGeL[BoY] no gui on his boxen
[06:41] <darkblueB|off> hmmm.. lots of traffic here.. question about building subpackages manually instead of using the package mgr
[06:41] <Isaiah> yeah but i cant copy paste
[06:42] <sandaru1> In_Silico: yes, you can select them from the GDM
[06:42] <jeffrey> `LePGeL[BoY],  i messed up my login and splash settings no im stuck at a black screen
[06:42] <Isaiah> im on 2 diferent computers.
[06:42] <nickrud> Isaiah: oh.
[06:42] <nickrud> duh
[06:42] <jeffrey> im gona try what everyone suggested ill be back
[06:42] <scguy318> Isaiah: what card is it Isaiah?
[06:42] <Isaiah> this one works and its on windows, the other one doesnt and its running ubuntu
[06:42] <sandaru1> jeffrey: if you don't see any error messages, try running "gdm" first
[06:42] <Evanlec> MasterShrek, u get that mm kernel compiled?
[06:42] <In_Silico> and to seem even dumber, the GDM is?
[06:42] <Isaiah> what do you mean what card is it?
[06:42] <scguy318> In_Silico: the GNOME Desktop Manager
[06:42] <scguy318> Isaiah: what is your wireless card?
[06:42] <Evanlec> question: is it possible to boost Tx-Power on a wifi card?
[06:42] <In_Silico> oh...heh, ok.
[06:42] <nickrud> Isaiah: like broadcom, or dell, or dlink, or the like
[06:43] <In_Silico> so many acronyms
[06:43] <`LePGeL[BoY]> jeffrey: at your black screen try typing "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" and then "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" if ur using gnome
[06:43] <Isaiah> let me check real quick..
[06:43] <sandaru1> In_Silico: you'll get used to them
[06:43] <nickrud> scguy318: got ya, gnome display manager
[06:43] <lunzi> 有人吗?
[06:43] <nickrud> !cn | lunzi
[06:43] <ubotu> lunzi: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw  或者 #ubuntu-hk
[06:43] <lunzi> 大家好
[06:43] <lunzi> .....
[06:43] <scguy318> nickrud: you're absolutely correct
[06:43] <lunzi> thank you
[06:43] <Isaiah> i think its atheros?
[06:44] <greg> In_Silico gdm/kdm/xdm are all display managers gnome kde and xorg based respectively
[06:44]  * nickrud takes the low road, always
[06:44] <In_Silico> um, how do I switch to my japanese keyboard input if I have it enabled?
[06:44] <In_Silico> ah, thanks greg - that's much clearer
[06:44] <scguy318> Isaiah: what laptop is it? no need to figure out what chipset it is if we are gonna use the Windows drivers anyway
[06:44] <`LePGeL[BoY]> jeffrey: if the desktop wont work try replacing your xorg.conf from your live CD to your filesystem /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:45] <sandaru1> In_Silico: if it's SCIM, default key binding is "Ctrl + Shift"
[06:45] <In_Silico> hm, it worked before but isn't now
[06:45] <Isaiah> its a toshiba sattelite a35-s209
[06:45] <sandaru1> `LePGeL[BoY]: jeffrey is gone
[06:45] <scguy318> Isaiah: thanks, lemme fetch drivers
[06:45] <greg> nickrud any idea what might cause xorg to not accept the alt key in alt+ctrl+f#    i have to use the sysRQ hot keys to reset the keyboard before i can break out of x    ?
[06:45] <BobBlec> greetings  :)
[06:45] <`LePGeL[BoY]> LOl jeffreys gone!! LOL
[06:45] <nickrud> greg: no clue, never had that problem before
[06:46] <darkblueB|off> karmelek: question about building subpackages
[06:46] <BobBlec> anyone familiar with netatalk?
[06:46] <greg> anyone ?
[06:46] <karmelek> darkblueB|off, ?
[06:46] <darkblueB|off> y
[06:46] <`LePGeL[BoY]> who of you guys been using GUTSY GABBER?
[06:46] <In_Silico> is there a command to 'repair' the network connection, like releasing and re-requesting the DHCP lease?
[06:47] <scguy318> `LePGeL[BoY]: do you mean Gibbon? count me in
[06:47] <sandaru1> dhclient
[06:47] <darkblueB|off> karmelek:  tomorrow I am going to work on a fresh gutsy amd64 install. I would like to get QGis running, which has a number of dependent packages. However, a couple of those  listed under the gutsy page for qgis are a little old. Why couldn't I download source for those packages, build and proceed. Is this a bad idea? Does that mean that the QGis package wont work then, if versions dont match for some of the subordinate packag
[06:47] <scguy318> In_Silico: ifdown interface and ifup interface, prefix with sudo if you're not root
[06:47] <BobBlec> `LePGeL[BoY]: Feisty Fawn here
[06:47] <sandaru1> In_Silico: dhclient
[06:47] <greg> In_Silico ifupdown ?
 yeah Gibbon. LOL for the wrong thing
[06:47] <In_Silico> ah, thanks much
[06:47] <sandaru1> `LePGeL[BoY]: me too.. Gibbon :)
 me tooo!!!
[06:48] <BobBlec> cpool  :)
[06:48] <BobBlec> cool
[06:48] <Rogi> fd0 is CD?
[06:48] <scguy318> Rogi: thats floppy
 your using gibbon already? did you use the upgrade or you have a installer CD?
[06:48] <scguy318> Rogi: sr0 is CD
[06:48] <darkblueB|off> karmelek: dont I want qgis 9 anyway?  I have to build that from source, yes?
[06:48] <scguy318> Rogi: i think you're asking because of the fd0 stall on LiveCD boot?
[06:48] <greg> Rogi only if you booted from it
[06:48] <Rogi> ya
[06:48] <scguy318> Rogi: disable floppy disk in BIOS
[06:48] <sandaru1> `LePGeL[BoY]: upgrade using "apt-get dist-upgrade"
[06:48] <karmelek> darkblueB|off, it could be quite good idea IMO
[06:48] <Rogi> k
[06:49] <karmelek> why not to try
[06:49] <In_Silico> what's gutsy's vers. #? 7.x? 8.x?
[06:49] <greg> so nobody knows...     that's sad.
[06:49] <karmelek> 7.10
[06:49] <BobBlec> gutsy = 7.10
[06:49] <`LePGeL[BoY]> sandaru1: i know.. it takes to long to upgrade!! and im using my net that much.. i requested some CDs
[06:49] <nickrud> greg: no one active at the moment anyway.
[06:49] <darkblueB|off> karmelek: building from source instead of using packages,
 so did you use the upgrade thing on ur gutsy?
[06:49] <jeffrey> hey
 so?
[06:50] <darkblueB|off> karmelek: I will try then
[06:50] <jeffrey> what the heck was with the xserver command
[06:50] <jeffrey> it asked me to reconfigure everything
[06:50] <greg> nickrud yeah.   it is deceptive, all the idlers
[06:50] <jeffrey> lol
[06:50] <In_Silico> lepgel[BoY], it's only taking about 40 minutes for me right now
[06:50] <sandaru1> `LePGeL[BoY]: what upgrade thing?
[06:50] <nickrud> greg: yeah, have you tried both alt keys?
[06:50] <greg> yes
[06:50] <Isaiah> i appreciate your help, but its late, and i have to go. thank you though.
[06:50] <nickrud> I always start with the obvious
[06:50] <scguy318> Isaiah: http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/atheros_wpa_driver.exeX
[06:50] <sandaru1> `LePGeL[BoY]: download alternative installer CD
 i mean the sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, coz i was thinking of a clean install
[06:50] <Isaiah> oh nvm
[06:50] <scguy318> Isaiah: http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/atheros_wpa_driver.exe
[06:50] <jeffrey> `LePGeL[BoY], i didnt go through with the xserver command it was to lengthy and i didnt know what to input for some options
[06:50] <scguy318> Isaiah: extract with file-roller, its just a ZIP EXE
[06:51] <Evanlec> does anyone know why gParted quits everytime you refresh the device list?
[06:51] <jeffrey> `LePGeL[BoY],  and sudo jdm wasnt recognized
 you got good connection bro i thing..
[06:51] <scguy318> Isaiah: i probably just asked this, but you're using Gutsy, right?
[06:51] <sandaru1> `LePGeL[BoY]: apt-get dist-upgrade works fine.. i only had to recompile compiz-fusion and awn.. better than a fresh install
[06:51] <Isaiah> yes 7.10
 its sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[06:51] <m11> can someone help with ubuntu network install ?
[06:51] <scguy318> Isaiah: you'll probably have to bring the packages over to the desktop via USB stick or w/e
[06:51] <scguy318> Isaiah: moment
[06:51] <jeffrey> `LePGeL[BoY],  what is ?
[06:51] <Isaiah> woah, i extracted it and there ws a bunch of crap
 not Jdm!!
[06:52] <sandaru1> jeffrey: it's "gdm" not jdm
[06:52] <jeffrey> well which is i have 2 people giving me two different anwsers
 thats what i was thinking on upgrading rather than installing clean
[06:52] <Isaiah> do i send over the extracted files, or  the sip package?
[06:52] <Isaiah> zip*
[06:52] <jeffrey> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start ?
[06:52] <m11> can someone help with ubuntu network install ?
[06:52] <scguy318> Isaiah: extracted files
[06:52] <BobBlec> I'm having a problem getting netatalk to see my LaserWriter 4/600; the linux machine, my Mac, and the printer are all on a LAN. netatalk sees the Mac, but not the printer
[06:53] <Isaiah> ok
[06:53] <scguy318> Isaiah: you'll also need two debs that you'll have to carry over
[06:53] <scguy318> Isaiah: is the desktop i386 or amd64?
[06:53] <Rogi> can anyone tell me how to tell the live CD to display on DVI and not regular video out?
[06:53] <BobBlec> the printer is connected through an old Dayna EtherPrint bridge
[06:53] <endo> I cannot seem to complie Avant-window-manager in gutsy, anyone know how
 yeah its " sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start"
[06:53] <Isaiah> where would i find out?
[06:53] <scguy318> Isaiah: okay, does your laptop support 64-bit?
[06:53] <In_Silico> Rogi: you'll probably need to install it and not use the livecd to get any driver settings customized
[06:54] <jeffrey> k ill brb
[06:54] <BobBlec> pritns fine from the Mac, but netatalk isn't seeing it in nbplkup
[06:54] <Isaiah> uhm haha, im basically retarded. what does that mean?
[06:54] <Rogi> In_Silico: text install freezes my box on start :\
[06:54] <greg> nickrud  http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/43405
[06:54] <suupaabaka> i have an intel graphcis chipset. anybody know how to enable direct rendering?
[06:54] <hanny> hai
[06:54] <BobBlec> anyone have any idea what I need to do to get my linux machine to see my printer?
[06:54] <scguy318> Isaiah: is your laptop a recent one that has a 64-bit CPU? judging from your response you probably just installed standard i386, k
[06:54] <In_Silico> Rogi: alternate iso disc, or regular 'buntu disc?
[06:54] <bullgard4> What information is given in the third column of cat /proc/interrupts?
[06:54] <Isaiah> yah i think its 6f bit
[06:54] <scguy318> Isaiah: http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/n/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper-common_1.43-1ubuntu2_all.deb
[06:54] <scguy318> Isaiah: Ubuntu is 64-bit?
[06:55] <Isaiah> oh my god, im sorry.
[06:55] <Isaiah> hah i dont know?
[06:55] <smmagic> scguy318: There is 64 bit one
[06:55] <Rogi> In_Silico: alt
[06:55] <In_Silico> rogi, did you try regular install iso too?
[06:55] <scguy318> smmagic: i know, I'm asking about what he has installed :)
[06:55] <scguy318> Isaiah: np, relax
[06:55] <Isaiah> how do i find out if its 64 bit or not?
[06:55] <greg> i don't know why it's doing that    my xorg says          Option          "XkbModel"      "pc104"
[06:55] <Rogi> In_Silico: thats live cd install and it sends to CRT on my video card i think
[06:55] <scragar> what't the quickest method of resizing large number of pictures? I need them all resizing to 128px high(half their origional height), but there are tones of them...
[06:56] <scguy318> Isaiah: uname -a
[06:56] <ubuntu> helo
[06:56] <scguy318> Isaiah: if your kernel is 64-bit it should say amd64, if its not it should say i686
[06:56] <ubuntu> it's my 1st time here at ubuntu
[06:56] <In_Silico> Rogi, I had a similar issue the last time I installed 'buntu on my old box. I ended up having to switch from the livecd to alternate, and then back, and then ended up using XUbuntu
[06:56] <scguy318> ubuntu: welcome
[06:56] <ubuntu> tnx
[06:56] <Evanlec> ubuntu, howdy
[06:56] <In_Silico> hiya, ubuntu
[06:57] <Rogi> In_Silico: whats xubuntu?
[06:57] <greg> scragar i don't know what app to use   but running an app that can resize them in a while or for loop  should do it nicely
[06:57] <scguy318> Isaiah: in fact, i should have just said uname -m, the answer is obvious that way
[06:57] <Evanlec> Rogi, its ubuntu with Xfce window manager, its more light-weight
[06:57] <In_Silico> I believe it's an off-hardware version, but I could have been thinking of edubuntu also...I forget if they're one and the same
[06:57] <Isaiah> okay it says i686
[06:57] <ubuntu> its cool here
[06:57] <ubuntu> its linux program
[06:57] <scguy318> Isaiah: ok cool, your kernel is 32-bit
[06:57] <scguy318> Isaiah: alright
[06:57] <logicslayer> I found a deb file for flock at my buddies. but now csannot find it thru a series of googles
[06:57] <nickrud> greg: google doesn't say much in english ;(
[06:57] <Evanlec> ubuntu, having fun yet? ;p
[06:57] <scguy318> Isaiah: download: http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/n/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper-common_1.43-1ubuntu2_all.deb
[06:57] <scragar> greg: I was looking for what sort of progran would be able to do that
[06:58] <Evanlec> ubuntu, you can change your nickname with /nick <yournick>
[06:58] <scguy318> Isaiah: and http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/n/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper-utils-1.9_1.43-1ubuntu2_i386.deb
[06:58] <Isaiah> and put that in my flash drive as well?
[06:58] <scguy318> Isaiah: yep
[06:59] <greg> ok nickrud i'll go fight with this thing and leave you fellows to do your `thang' here   :)  thanks for the effort.
[06:59] <pau1> how do I enable S-video in Ubuntu?
[06:59] <scguy318> Isaiah: after you've got the driver files and packages on that flash drive, stick it over onto the laptop :)
[06:59] <Isaiah> k im transffering them now
[07:00] <ubuntu> oky....
[07:00] <ubuntu> but i really put this name..hehee
[07:01] <pau1> S-video anyone?
[07:01] <CochiseIRL> PirateLeChuck_, love the name big monkey island fan
[07:01] <Isaiah> okay, i transferred all the stuff
[07:01] <greg> scragar i don't mess with images much/or at all really.   so i don't have a clue what kind of image resizing app you need.  or what is handy in ubuntu either   the package manager might know.   apt-cache search image | grep resize
[07:02] <Bonster> why my frostwire doesnt load anymore?
[07:02] <codename> how do  i get my ipod working with Ubuntu 7.05
[07:02] <codename> 7.04
[07:02] <scragar> greg: thank you so much
[07:03] <nickrud> scragar: you might like nautilus-image-converter, it gives an option in the file manager to resize a group of images
[07:03] <scragar> greg: nautilus-image-converter - nautilus extension to mass resize images == just what I need
[07:03] <Isaiah> so what should i do now?
[07:03] <Bonster> whats the command to launch frostwire form terminal?
[07:03] <scguy318> Isaiah: the USB device is plugged into the laptop? alright
[07:03] <Isaiah> yeah
[07:04] <scguy318> Isaiah: what does Ubuntu call the usb device?
[07:04] <Evanlec> I invite you all to read about 64-bit computing, as many seem to think that the only advantage of 64-bit is access to more than 4gb of ram, which is NOT true --> http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2007/10/16/64-bit_more_than_just_the_ram/1
[07:04] <nickrud> Bonster: if you installed with a deb, dpkg -L | grep bin should tell you

[07:05] <scguy318> Isaiah: sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/ndiswrapper*
[07:05] <scguy318> Isaiah: that should install the debs that are located on your desktop
[07:06] <Isaiah> k just a sec
[07:06] <Curley_Sue> hi. how do I prevent the default deamons such as gconfd, networkmanager, gpm, gnome-keyring-manager...
[07:06] <Bonster> nickrud: says i need jre5 or newer but i already got jre6

[07:07] <threethirty> Curley_Sue: do you not want them to start at boot?
[07:07] <scguy318> DevideZero: a black page with links
[07:07] <scguy318> DevideZero: skulls too
[07:07] <nickrud> Evanlec: nothing new there, and the conclusion says it all: software to take advantage isn't really here yet
[07:07] <ubuntu> somebody could tell...f ur running ubuntu live cd is it possible that you can install any light programs?
[07:07] <DevideZero> scguy318 , thanks wich browser do you use ?

[07:08] <Bonster> nickrud: my frostwire was working b4 actually it just doesnt load anymore
[07:08] <Evanlec> nickrud, thats not really true...there is software, there's the linux kernel...and more software is coming....
[07:08] <jeffrey> anyone
[07:09] <nickrud> Evanlec: coming, yes. I'll probably try again on the next lts
[07:09] <ubuntu> obviously its only rom..but my point is it can be transfer to hdd
[07:09] <Evanlec> nickrud, the reason there isnt as much software out as there should be is because of all the ignorant people out there that havent read this article, or havent tried 64-bit
[07:10] <scragar> is there a manual page or something for nautilus-image-converter? I can't appear to find it, or the re-size option

[07:10] <Curley_Sue> threethirty: yep. I am running fluxbox WM. do you see a reason are they needed?
[07:10] <Bonster> nickrud: thanks that worked sudo update-alternatives --config java . is it because multiple java conflict?

[07:16] <ubotu> Isaiah: dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.

[07:17] <Isaiah> hah
[07:17] <jsschmid> hi folks
[07:18] <threethirty> jeffrey: what is happening previous to you not seeing the log in, and is this the first boot after an install?
[07:18] <scguy318> Isaiah: make sure to open with GDebi and not File Roller
[07:18] <Andrew_1> NetworkManager was working before. I was troubleshooting sound issues when this happened.

[07:18] <ganjistus> A Discordian is Required during his early Illumination to Go Off Alone & Partake Joyously of a Hot Dog on a Friday this Devotive Ceremony to Remonstrate against the popular Paganisms of the Day:
[07:18] <Curley_Sue> threethirty: I am not running "fluxbuntu" but gutsy+fluxbox... so I guess it's this channel to have the answer...
[07:18] <Isaiah> it opened it with " package installer"
[07:18] <scguy318> Isaiah: install the ndiswrapper-common first
[07:18] <scguy318> Isaiah: then ndiswrapper-utils
[07:19] <scguy318> Isaiah: utils depends on common so yeah
[07:19] <Isaiah> okay i did that
[07:19] <Curley_Sue> hi. anyone knows how to avoid default deamons run upon boot (such as gconfd, networkmanager, gpm, gnome-keyring-manager...)
[07:19] <Curley_Sue> threethirty: thanx though ;-)
[07:19] <Isaiah> so now what should i do?
[07:19] <scguy318> Isaiah: installation complete? ok
[07:19] <threethirty> Curly_Sue: np
[07:19] <scguy318> Isaiah: to verify that ndiswrapper is a-ok, please type ndiswrapper -l

[07:20] <Jordan_U> !fonts | moDumass
[07:20] <scguy318> Isaiah: yes, ndiswrapper|-l if its not obvious
[07:20] <Andrew_1> jeffrey: Are you using ubunbu/kubuntu/xubuntu.... ? What version also?
[07:20] <ubotu> moDumass: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer
[07:20] <threethirty> !ask | jsschmid
[07:20] <ubotu> jsschmid: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:20] <Isaiah> is that a one or a square bracket?
[07:20] <moDumass> i think i go it going opened nautilus as root and went to fonts:/// and pasted them there
[07:20] <scguy318> Isaiah: thats an L
[07:20] <Isaiah> ah
[07:20] <scguy318> Isaiah: lower case L
[07:21] <scguy318> Isaiah: you do know that you can copy and paste? :P
[07:21] <Isaiah> yeah, but not back and forth between 2 seperate computers
[07:21] <scguy318> Isaiah: oh yeah :P
[07:21] <Lapinux> hello ppl's

[07:22] <jsschmid> ok, I already did in the forum:
[07:22] <c0Ld> My CD burner loves to get 'stuck' reading CDs and sit there spinning for hours on end. The only way I know to make it stop is by rebooting -- is there a command I can use to force it to stop and/or eject? (one that doesn't involve stabbing a paper clip inside of it ;p)
[07:22] <scguy318> Isaiah: cool
[07:22] <scguy318> Isaiah: please do
[07:22] <threethirty> jsschmid: can you link to the forum post so that we can have a look
[07:22] <scguy318> Isaiah: sudo|ndiswrapper|-i|~/Desktop/*.inf
[07:22] <scguy318> Isaiah: and thats a lower case I
[07:22] <Isaiah> ha i know lol
[07:23] <jsschmid> yeah, currently searching my own post

[07:24] <Andrew_1> ?
[07:24] <scguy318> Isaiah: it should have installed the wireless driver, to check, please type ndiswrapper -l (we're not done yet)
[07:24] <scguy318> q_a_z_steve: like photo rotation? google a bit, theres a billion scripts
[07:24] <threethirty> c0Ld: try some variation of sudo  unmount /media/cdrom/
[07:24] <scguy318> q_a_z_steve: i dunno top of my head since never had the need
[07:24] <Isaiah> it said drier installed
[07:25] <scguy318> Isaiah: any mention of alternate driver?
[07:25] <Isaiah> yeah "ath_pci
[07:25] <jdecoste> anyone knows if there is a way to 'cp' hidden files also ?
[07:25] <scguy318> Isaiah: alrighty, please type
[07:25] <scguy318> jdecoste: isn't it just a matter of cp .hidden ...?
[07:25] <q_a_z_steve> scguy318, not to rotate, to view rss photo feed, like google photo screensaver
[07:25] <jdecoste> scguy318: cp -R * /to
[07:26] <scguy318> q_a_z_steve: ah, unfortunately I know nothing in that area
[07:26] <q_a_z_steve> kk
[07:26] <scguy318> jdecoste: instead of *, .?
[07:26] <scguy318> jdecoste: bash will subst * with non-hidden files
[07:26] <scguy318> Isaiah: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[07:26] <DjSiBaLe> hi here
[07:26] <jdecoste> and .? with hiden files ?
[07:26] <threethirty> jsschmid: thats way over my head, you have me beat right now, if you do find a solution please email me<EMAIL_ADDRESS>id love to know
[07:26] <scguy318> jdecoste: . means current directory

[07:28] <Lapinux> anyone here have a "linux" related project their working on that needs a place to host it?
[07:28] <Isaiah> yeah hang on a sec...
[07:28] <Lapinux> i ask because i have alot of free space on my webserver that is just sitting, not being used....
[07:29] <Isaiah> woah something crazy happened
[07:29] <Rogi> so i chroot and change driver to vesa, x11 says its going to use low graphics mode, I say continue and it just sits there blinking the coursor.... wtf
[07:29] <scguy318> Isaiah: a text editor should have opened up
[07:29] <Isaiah> yeah it has a bunch of info
[07:29] <miraage> Hi. Does ubuntu service startup get logged somewhere (on boot)
[07:29] <threethirty> jsschmid: i thought you were going to ask about mounting usb after an install, reading that i think a part of my brain exploded
[07:29] <scguy318> Isaiah: okay, scroll to the bottom, make a new line
[07:29] <scguy318> Isaiah: type blacklist ath_pci (or whatever it was that showed up for alternate driver
[07:30] <scguy318> Isaiah: then save
[07:30] <Isaiah> do i have to put a # before?
[07:30] <jsschmid> threethirty: so?
[07:30] <scguy318> Isaiah: no, # means comment
[07:30] <Rogi> anyone have any idea?
[07:30] <scguy318> Isaiah: just put blacklist ath_pci on its own separate line then save
[07:31] <Isaiah> k
[07:31] <Isaiah> now what?
[07:31] <scguy318> Isaiah: after that, please do gksudo gedit /etc/modules
[07:31] <Jordan_U> Rogi, Try renaming your xorg.conf ( so X configures itself at start ) or try reconfiguring your xorg.conf with:
[07:31] <scguy318> Isaiah: add a new line and put ndiswrapper on its own line, then save
[07:31] <Jordan_U> !xconfig | Rogi
[07:31] <ubotu> Rogi: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg » - To configure only the driver and resolution, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh » - See also !FixRes
[07:31] <scguy318> Isaiah: we're almost done here :)
[07:31] <katana_> anyone knows where / is mounted in a live session?
[07:32] <scguy318> Isaiah: now type sudo modprobe -r ath_pci then type sudo modprobe ndiswrapper, then ndiswrapper should be loaded and your wireless device should be functional
[07:32] <Rogi> Jordan_U: thanks
[07:32] <scguy318> Isaiah: if thats not the case reboot
[07:32] <Isaiah> wait hang on a sec
[07:33] <CochiseIRL> katana_, /mnt/
[07:33] <threethirty> jsschmid: if you are already installed sudo mount /media/[whatever the device is] works if it is an available point in fstab and i think its sudo mount auto -t /medai/[whatever the device is] if it is not in fstab
[07:33] <CochiseIRL> katana_, i think
[07:33] <Isaiah> ha can you please put the line things in the last one you typed?
[07:34] <katana_> yeah but I mean, when I'm installing things in live-mode (after booting from a live cd), where are the files stored?
[07:34] <Curley_Sue> threethirty: it is probably done using update-rc.d or  manually removing the symlinks in /etc/rc2.d
[07:34] <katana_> is that in RAM?
[07:34] <scguy318> Isaiah: now type sudo modprobe -r ath_pci then type sudo modprobe ndiswrapper, then ndiswrapper should be loaded and your wireless device should be functional
[07:34] <Isaiah> yeah, but i cant see the spaces ahah
[07:34] <scguy318> Isaiah: sudo|modprobe|-r|ath_pci
[07:35] <scguy318> Isaiah: sudo|modprobe|ndiswrapper
[07:35] <scguy318> Isaiah: then see if Network Manager or w/e has detected your card
[07:35] <scguy318> Isaiah: if not just reboot
[07:35] <threethirty> Curly_Sue: I have no idea what any of those files are, i'd consult someone who has a clue, im definatly not the person
[07:35] <Isaiah> okay let me reboot my other ocmputer real quick.
[07:36] <Jordan_U> Rogi, np

[07:40] <Isaiah> uh, should it be like windows where its like, " found new blah blah"
[07:40] <scguy318> Isaiah: no
[07:40] <scguy318> Isaiah: click on the Network Manager icon
[07:40] <scguy318> Isaiah: see if there are networks or w/e
[07:40] <Isaiah> where is that?
[07:41] <scguy318> Isaiah: its in your notification tray, the black computer monitors
[07:41] <scguy318> Isaiah: on default Ubuntu theme
[07:41] <Isaiah> it says no
[07:41] <scguy318> Isaiah: nothing when u click the notification icon? mm
[07:41] <scguy318> Isaiah: fire up a Terminal, and type ndiswrapper -l
[07:42] <Jordan_U> Rogi, Yes, but I think to do that you need to be actually using the driver for your card ( I may be wrong though )
[07:42] <Peddy> goodnight everyone
[07:42] <jargonjustin> I'm using XFCE and changed the theme, but any application run under sudo still uses the old theme.  Is there a way to fix this?
[07:42] <Isaiah> then what?
[07:42] <scguy318> Isaiah: any mention of alternate?
[07:43] <linxuz3r> i heard ubuntu is going as public-shared ipo
[07:43] <linxuz3r> lol
[07:43] <Isaiah> yes
[07:43] <Isaiah> ath_pci
[07:43] <preaction> linxuz3r, ubuntu is an operating system, Canonical Ltd. is the corporation. we've had a discussion similar to this recently, if i recall
[07:43] <katana_> When I am on a live session, where is / mounted? I mean, where are files placed that I create e.g. on the desktop? Is that in RAM?
[07:43] <preaction> katana_, in RAM, yes
[07:44] <scguy318> Isaiah: okay, you did put ath_pci in that /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file?
[07:44] <scguy318> Isaiah: blacklist ath_pci
[07:44] <katana_> oh, okay.. So is RAM split up in 2 parts? One for simulating HD, one for the real ram?
[07:44] <Isaiah> let me go check
[07:44] <Isaiah> how do i open that file again?
[07:44] <preaction> katana_, basically, if you have a swap partition it uses that too
[07:44] <scguy318> Isaiah: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[07:44] <scguy318> Isaiah: gksudo|gedit|/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[07:44] <linxuz3r> yes ubuntu is a nice os
[07:45] <linxuz3r> sorry preaction
[07:45] <katana_> oh, okay, that's the case.. how can I find out which partitions are mounted?
[07:45] <Isaiah> yeah its there
[07:45] <scguy318> katana_: mount
[07:45] <preaction> !offtopic | linxuz3r
[07:45] <ubotu> linxuz3r: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[07:45] <Isaiah> what should it look like?
[07:45] <scguy318> Isaiah: blacklist ath_pci
[07:45] <preaction> katana_, or cat /etc/mtab
[07:46] <Isaiah> thats exactly what it says
[07:46] <altair> i have a question, do different WM save on energy, i just want to save battery life
[07:46] <katana_> oh, okay.. thx :) How does the swap partition is called?
[07:46] <preaction> katana_, swap is never mounted. it's activated with "swapon" and deactivated with "swapoff"
[07:46] <katana_> aha, okay :)
[07:46] <redtux> jargonjustin: it's the same here w/ qt- or gtk-apps (kde/gnome). i guess you also have to change the settings for the user root. - or at least copy your qtrc, gtkrc etc. personally, i would consider that a bug.
[07:47] <new2Ubuntu> Anyone know what I could do tog et my Line in working in Ubuntu, Ive enabled everythign in the Volume control, Ive tried setting the default sound as ALSA, OSS , ESD but nothign seems to fix it. I can confirm my Line in works in WIndows and I know it doesnt work in UBuntu gutsy cause I hooked up my IPod and tried sound recorder and I dont get Line in as an option of input at all.

[07:49] <bloony> "checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables" Im trying to compile some drivers and I get this msg..
[07:49] <Isaiah> yeah, i think i installed software modem driver
[07:49] <scguy318> bloony: install build-essential
[07:49] <scguy318> Isaiah: ah ok
[07:49] <bloony> aah
[07:49] <scguy318> Isaiah: in the gedit window for blacklist, add these three lines
[07:50] <scguy318> Isaiah: blacklist ath_rate_sample
[07:50] <katana_> okay, a totally different question: is there anyway to having openGL 2.0 with an ATI-card without having to get fglrx?
[07:50] <scguy318> Isaiah: blacklist new_ath_pci
[07:50] <scguy318> Isaiah: blacklist ath_hal
[07:51] <ferronica> i need help regarding APC UPS :(
[07:51] <scguy318> Isaiah: same formatting as those previous lines, so yes a space between blacklist and module name
[07:51] <Isaiah> okay i did that
[07:51] <katana_> ..and when I got the binary drivers from ATI, is there still enough support to get dual screen / ...?
[07:51] <scguy318> Isaiah: then save, do sudo modprobe -r ath_pci
[07:52] <scguy318> Isaiah: sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[07:52] <scguy318> Isaiah: see if the wireless device is operative at all, if not reboot
[07:52] <ferronica> scguy318: APC UPS nopt working here with gnome power management :(
[07:53] <Isaiah> i typed both of those in and nothing happened

[07:57] <mojoman> Hi, I'm having problems with the Swedish letter Ö in firefox on one of the accounts only, where it is showed as having only one dot. Changing the character encoding haven't made any difference. Is there a way to change to some default setting?
[07:57] <DiViN3> can someone help with ubuntu network install ?
[07:57] <Isaiah> k its rebooted now what?
[07:58] <scguy318> Isaiah: check to see if you can use Network Manager to connect
[07:58] <zeroflag> gnome has managed to COMPLETELY fuck up my entire compiz setup... and now it won't let me set it up.
[07:58] <scguy318> Isaiah: if not, ndiswrapper -l again
[07:58] <redtux> DiViN3: what kind of inet-connection? ethernet? phone? dsl? wireless? what kind of help do you need with netinstall?
[07:58] <Isaiah> holy god it worked!!!!

[07:58] <Isaiah> thank you soooo much
[07:59] <Isaiah> i appreciate your help
[07:59] <zeroflag> I can't apply compiz settings. the desktop just doesn't change and I can't get metacity to take over decoration...
[07:59] <scguy318> Isaiah: weee coool
[07:59] <Isaiah> wait
[07:59] <scguy318> Isaiah: yes?
[07:59] <Isaiah> firefox wont load the page

[07:59] <progress0r> having a weird problem here. Just did a fresh install of gutsy. Apparantly i have no mixer. Bizarre. I cant see anything in dmesg either. If I go to a mixer it says 'select mixer' of which there are no choices. I have set it to alsa which i have always done before and it restarted but nada.
[07:59] <scguy318> Isaiah: have you like connected yet?

[08:00] <Isaiah> but it found the 3 wireless networks by my house
[08:00] <m11> can someone help with ubuntu network install ?
[08:00] <DiViN3> but my ubuntu cant connect to internet ...so any idea wat to do
[08:00] <scguy318> Isaiah: k cool, once it connects, try
[08:01] <Isaiah> okay
[08:01] <DiViN3> redtux u there
[08:01] <Isaiah> yes it worked!!!!
[08:01] <Isaiah> thank you so much
[08:01] <redtux> DiViN3: i'm here! :) your router-settings are correct? already tried for another OS/bootcd? checked your nameserver-settings?
[08:02] <scguy318> Isaiah: weee cool
[08:02] <Isaiah> hhaha, its late im gonna go to bed now. thank you so much for the help
[08:02] <scguy318> Isaiah: next you'll bug about the keyring if your wireless network is secured
[08:02] <scguy318> Isaiah: simple fix for that night
[08:02] <scguy318> Isaiah: have a good night
[08:02] <DiViN3> well m not sure how to do that on ubuntu
[08:02] <Isaiah> you too
[08:03] <DiViN3> i can link two windows easily but with ubuntu m reall gone
[08:03] <bloony> anyone know what this error is? Get it when I try to compile alsa drivers: http://www.pastebin.org/7195
[08:03] <DiViN3> can u tell me how m i to make my ubuntu to get connected to internet via y windows desktop
[08:04] <redtux> DiViN3: type /sbin/ifconfig in a terminal -> check "inet Adresse:" eth0 (or whatever device your ubuntu box is connected to the windoze-box). ...and type cat /etc/resolv.conf
[08:04] <MrMoneybags> Can I upgrade from ubuntu 6.6 to 10.4 without using a disc image?
[08:04] <tootoot> hi
[08:04] <tootoot> i need help
[08:04] <scguy318> MrMoneybags: you could, but using Update Manager is a painful path
[08:04] <tootoot> any one
[08:05] <tony_> --> Mr. Moneybags, yes you can, however, using a disc image tends to be much more reliable
[08:05] <m11> can someone help with ubuntu network install ?
[08:05] <scguy318> MrMoneybags: a clean install to 7.10 is the best way
[08:05] <scguy318> MrMoneybags: or you could wait for Hardy
[08:05] <scguy318> MrMoneybags: thats straight from 6.06 -> Hardy I think?
[08:05] <MrMoneybags> When does Hardy come out?
[08:05] <tony_> m11 --> I will try, whats the problem?
[08:05] <scguy318> MrMOneybags: in 5-6 months
[08:05] <inversekinetix> tootoot just post your question
[08:05] <redtux> DiViN3: can't you tell your windows-box to function as a DHCP-server? or wouldn't it be easier (and more secure) to route the inet through the ubuntu box (or through a third box - a firewall)?
[08:05] <CochiseIRL> MrMoneybags, april 08
[08:06] <m11> tony_ , i am trying to install ubuntu to laptop that dont have any input but lan card
[08:06] <tootoot> ok i ma a new user to the linux
[08:06] <MrMoneybags> Ahh no, well see I just burned a copy of 7.10 and got it on my desktop but with a few flaws
[08:06] <tony_> m11 --> So no wireless is what your saying?
[08:06] <MrMoneybags> However it won't even install on my laptop
[08:06] <tony_> m11 --> or I guess, no cd/
[08:06] <scguy318> MrMoneybags: you could try using the text-based alternate CD if the LiveCD feils
[08:06] <m11> tony_ , cdrom broken, no floppy
[08:06] <tootoot> and i donot want to format my system and in the same time i want to use the new linux sys
[08:06] <bloony> http://www.pastebin.org/7195
[08:06] <tony_> gotcha, so what is your goal then
[08:07] <MrMoneybags> I'm gonna try a new copy I guee
[08:07] <MrMoneybags> guess
[08:07] <m11> tony_ ; boot ubuntu over PXE
[08:07] <bloony> anyone know what this error is? Get it when I try to compile alsa drivers: http://www.pastebin.org/7195
[08:07] <scguy318> MrMoneybags: make sure you do CD check and burn slow of course
[08:07] <m11> tony_ , laptop dont support boot from usb
[08:07] <inversekinetix> tootoot just create a partition on your HD and use that for linux
[08:07] <tony_> OWhats is currently installed on the laptop?
[08:07] <MrMoneybags> Ok
[08:07] <m11> tony_ , xp 300 virus+ :D
 DiViN3: type /sbin/ifconfig in a terminal -> it say no such file or directory
[08:08] <tony_> m11 --> that is a pretty difficult proposition, more than just a netowrking question, I'll be honest, I would have no idea how to install ubuntu to a computer with no disk drives ... Anyone else?
[08:08] <inversekinetix> tony could you do it from a usb device?
[08:08] <redtux> DiViN3: how have you set up your network on the ubuntu box? no /sbin/ifconfig on your ubuntu system???
[08:09] <m11> tony_ , np , tnx anyway
[08:09] <murkyMurk> use a pen drive liveCD?
[08:09] <tony_> inverse, I believe it was reported that the laptop was unable to boot from m11
[08:09] <m11> inversekinetix: laptop dont support boot from usb, cdrom is broken and only option that is left is LAN
[08:09] <murkyMurk> inversekinetix: bin it
[08:10] <bloony> scguy318: I think you helped me with my problem last time I installed these drivers? a couple of days ago? I had to reinstall.. messed up the wireless :p
[08:10] <murkyMurk> is there a known update issue surrounding libasound2?
[08:10] <bloony> scguy318: and I dont remember what I had to do..
[08:10] <zeroflag> wah!
[08:10] <scguy318> bloony: maybe :P i am too sleepy to figure out tho
[08:11] <scguy318> bloony: your issue try re-extracting and ./configure the tarball, make sure to read README
[08:11] <zeroflag> how do I reenable metacity when human/gnome took over?
[08:11] <m11> so , seems i cant get help on this network problem , probably too hard
[08:11] <redtux> DiViN3: cat /etc/network/interfaces -> are the settings for eth0 correct?
[08:11] <inversekinetix> how do i disable emerald themes?
[08:11] <scguy318> m11: its more like no one's around at this time to help
[08:11] <murkyMurk> m11: obviously too hard for you ;-)
[08:11] <m11> true :)
[08:12] <underwatercow> what program is creating duplicate files that end in .save?
[08:12] <bloony> scguy318: hum.. didn't help much.. :/ and the readme didnt say much either
[08:13] <inversekinetix> m11 did you look http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2493&postcount=2   and  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation/Netboot
[08:13] <murkyMurk> anyone else with trouble with auto-update & libasound2?
[08:13] <m11> inversekinetix: will check it , but i think i tryed that
[08:14] <scguy318> bloony: im too tired to help sry
[08:14] <DiViN3> it dsnt seem to work
[08:15] <DiViN3> its staing wrong file directory
[08:15] <inversekinetix> m11, Im only 2 weeks into linux so Im not xpert, but i for windows I have pulled drives out of machines and put them in others to install the OS then put the drives back in the original machines and installed the drivers, can you do this for linux?
 : yes, you can.... but it better be the same kernel.. just copy the kernel modules
[08:16] <sandaru1> then use modprobe
[08:16] <redtux> DiViN3: again, how have you set up your network on the ubuntu box?
[08:17] <murkyMurk> inversekinetix: sure, so long as the critical hardware is the same mobo devices & cpu type
[08:17] <[chr0n0s]> !webcam
[08:17] <ubotu> Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[08:17] <inversekinetix> murky so its as good as impossible?
[08:18] <m11> oh my, i think i got it runing
 it's always better recompile the drivers on new machine
[08:19] <m11> inversekinetix: i think i got it runing, tnx for links
[08:19] <murkyMurk> inversekinetix: ubuntu has a dynamic module architecture so in theory any new hardware will be dealt with at boot time but that process will be less troublesome with less 'new' hardware
[08:19] <inversekinetix> np m11
[08:19] <DiViN3> well i install ubuntu in a new comp n it detects all my netwok card n staff
[08:20] <murkyMurk> inversekinetix: i would hope for compatible cpu at least (same generation intel or amd)
[08:20] <bloony> scguy318: had to install gettext and ja-trans.. now you know till next time I ask :p
[08:20] <inversekinetix> murky how does the linux kernel differ from the windows one?
[08:20] <DiViN3> i m totally new to this os so u hv to help me
[08:21] <murkyMurk> inversekinetix: windows has a kernel?
[08:21] <[chr0n0s]> how do i check if even the camrea hardware is detected in ubuntu ? i don't see anything like /dev/video0 and lpci doesnt help
[08:22] <[chr0n0s]> camera*
[08:22] <scguy318> [chr0n0s]: dmesg or tail /var/log/syslog
[08:22] <murkyMurk> [chr0n0s]: if it's a usb camera use lsusb
[08:22] <kraut> moin
[08:22] <scguy318> murkyMurk: the device may show up in lsusb but no guarantee that the Linux kernel has made dev files for it
[08:22] <[chr0n0s]> scguy318, murkyMurk is a laptop camera
[08:22] <inversekinetix> murky doesnt it?
[08:22] <miked595> anyone know how to set the user avatar in ubuntu? On m previous install I choose to import setting from windows and it imported it... how can I set it up on this fresh install
[08:23] <[chr0n0s]> laptop in built camera **
[08:23] <redtux> DiViN3: maybe you should check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router first? did you type the commands in an ubuntu terminal? (ALT-F2 gnome-terminal)
[08:23] <scguy318> [chr0n0s] what lappy
[08:23] <murkyMurk> scguy318: yep, the guy just wants to make sure his hardware is detected
[08:23] <computer12345> why does firefox keep crashing on me? then i have to restart computer
[08:23] <[chr0n0s]> scguy318, sony vaio cr14gn
[08:23] <scguy318> murkyMurk: yeah but can you use it :P
[08:23] <bdg_co_cakep> ooooooooooooooooooooooo
[08:23] <scguy318> murkyMurk: plug in anything USB it will be detected, whether its usable is diff :P
[08:24] <murkyMurk> [chr0n0s]: a builtin one intergral to the case?
[08:24] <sandaru1> computer12345: are you running compiz-fusion?
[08:24] <dumbass1337> excuse me, i'm trying to install WMP on ubuntu but it won't let me run the installation
[08:24] <[chr0n0s]> murkyMurk, yeah builtin the case
[08:24] <computer12345> sandaru, i dont know
[08:24] <[chr0n0s]> dumbass1337, why WMP :S
[08:24] <murkyMurk> scguy318: not always, sometimes the USB bus has insufficinet power to run a device or maybe teh device itself is bust
[08:24] <scguy318> dumbass1337: why do you need WMP :P
[08:24] <sandaru1> computer12345: i had a problem like that with compiz-fusion.. but never had to restart the computer
[08:24] <dumbass1337> cause it's good =o
[08:24] <dumbass1337> and shiny
[08:24] <scguy318> murkyMurk: true
[08:24] <scguy318> murkyMurk: dmesg or tailing the logs does help in that too :P
[08:25] <computer12345> i even did ps -el
[08:25] <deren> hello.. i have a problem with my notebook screen brightness. it changes automatically. increase and decrease automatically while i working.   in debian on same laptop, i havent any problem like this.
[08:25] <computer12345> kill #
[08:25] <computer12345> etc
[08:25] <dumbass1337> [chr0n0s]: anyway, it won't let me run the .exe
[08:25] <sandaru1> computer12345: sudo killall -9 firefox-bin
[08:25] <scguy318> dumbass1337: lord there are better apps, anyway
[08:25] <murkyMurk> scguy318: yep, just sometimes gets a little crowded in there
[08:25] <scguy318> dumbass1337: have you read the AppDb guide?
[08:25] <dumbass1337> scguy318: yes but i want WMP
[08:25] <[chr0n0s]> dumbass1337, don't install wmp, simple, it sucks anyways

[08:26] <dumbass1337> [chr0n0s]: is that some kind of anti semitic remark?
[08:26] <anvilsmith> I've got a strange issue - whenever I perform any hardware-intensive task, like playing a media file or downloading a big archive, my computer locks up temporarily. Funny thing is, it always goes back to normal on its own accord, a minute or so later, and if playing a film/song, that song "skips" the lock-up interval.
[08:26] <computer12345> worked!
[08:26] <computer12345> :)
[08:26] <new2Ubuntu> Does anyone here use wammu or gnokii? I have a problem configuring it for my phone Nokia 6681
[08:26] <bdg_co_cakep> hhh
[08:26] <[chr0n0s]> dumbass1337, running apps in native env is always better
[08:26] <computer12345> what is -9 for?
[08:26] <scguy318> dumbass1337: no...?
[08:26] <murkyMurk> [chr0n0s]: try the hwdb-gui command....worth a run out in the first case to see what's detected
[08:26] <dumbass1337> [chr0n0s]: oh, we're down to racism now?
[08:26] <saltydav> hello my monitor is dvi-d(dual link) and my x1600 is dvi-i (dual link). would this work out? what kind of dvi cable do i need? do companies cerate such cables?
