[06:58] <Madpilot> tjb, no, you can get the 'alternate' ISO download
[06:58] <tjb> Should I get the CD or DVD version if I download?
[06:58] <madman__> kjm: to late, all is fine, i can still see you :-)
[06:58] <kjm> tjb - well, he's more right.
[06:58] <marshall_> hey guys
[06:58] <kjm> madman_ : good to hear :)
[06:58] <marshall_> is arch linux good?
[06:59] <Madpilot> tjb, CD is a shorter download; DVD has more stuff if you're going to be installing on an offline system - your call.
[06:59] <tjb> Okay.
[06:59] <Madpilot> marshall_, this is #ubuntu, not #arch...
[06:59] <Nitrobass24> anyone good with samba file servers?
[06:59] <tjb> What do I get though?  The are so many choices.
[06:59] <tritium> Madpilot: it is?  doh!
[06:59] <kjm> marshall_ : I've tried it, it isn't bad.  A little more work under the hood to get it and keep it running.  But, pacman is good.
[06:59] <tjb> I'm on this page: http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/releases.ubuntu.com/6.06/
[06:59] <ripper> has anyone setup a shoutcast server (not icecast) with ubuntu?
[06:59] <marshall_> kjm:  ok
[06:59] <ripper> !shoutcast
[06:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about shoutcast - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:00] <jman8888> tjb, I suggest a torrent. They're Fast.
[07:00] <kjm> tjb : Most probably ubuntu-6.06.1-desktop-i386.iso
[07:00] <madman__> the only thing i got agaisnt ubuntu she has me locked out of some files. maybe she thinks she no's whats best for me.
[07:00] <JoseStefan> tjb, take a look at the HEADER file
[07:00] <tjb> kjm: I'll try that.
[07:01] <JoseStefan> tjb, HEADER.html
[07:01] <Madpilot> madman__, "locked you out"? Huh? There's files that're owned by root, not the user, if that's what you mean...
[07:01] <marshall_> kjm:  whats pacman?
[07:01] <AndrukTatum> madman__: probably, i know its best for me.  and, linux doesnt protect its conf files, but it does automatically back them up when you change them (very, very sweet)
[07:01] <tjb> Okay, thanks.
[07:01] <tjb> That first screen is far too confusing for newcomers, IMO.
[07:02] <JoseStefan> tjb, that a misconfiguration of that particular web server, others show the header by default
[07:02] <madman__> Madpilot: i am the owner
[07:02] <kjm> marshall_ : pacman is the package managment system used by arch linux.  Similar to BSD ports system.
[07:02] <tjb> Ah.
[07:02] <rocco> guys, i'm behind a router here. now, i'm trying to set up a web server, and having dynamic ip, i need to know my address, yet the only thing i get is tha ip address of the router!!! how can i figure out which one is assigned to me if any?
[07:02] <marshall_> kjm:  is it better than apt?
[07:02] <tjb> Oh yeah -- if I use the US one I see the easier page straight away.
[07:02] <Madpilot> madman__, are you talking about files in the / (root or File System) section of the Ubuntu install, or about something different?
[07:02] <kjm> marshall_ : Well, I stopped using arch, so that answers part of the question :).  It is a similar system.  Apt is more mature.
[07:03] <ripper> could someone help me get shoutcast kicking on ubuntu?
[07:03] <AndrukTatum> ripper: have you tried searching on synaptic or apt-get for shoutcast?
[07:03] <FirstLite> rocco: go to whatismyip.com
[07:04] <marshall_> kjm:  o wicked
[07:04] <rocco> JoseStefan, can you try to ping me again? i think i finally got it (partially at least) worked out. this time it's <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:04] <madman__> Madpilot: ubuntu is on my machine. i'm not on her machine. yes i'm talking about the root and file system. why does ubuntu stop me from opening files ?
[07:04] <ripper> yes with no luck
[07:04] <Madpilot> madman__, because they're owned by the system, not by the user...
[07:04] <madman__> how do i get to open all the files ?
[07:05] <tjb> Is it possible to use Ubuntu on a LiveCD for day-to-day tasks?
[07:05] <tehsu_> i dont think this will eve work for me
[07:05] <rocco> FirstLite: same ip address, but it's the router. i'm behind the router. i have an internal address of <IP_ADDRESS>, but i can't understand how someone from the outside can reach me
[07:05] <tjb> I kinda want to install, but I partioning is risky, I heard.
[07:05] <tabman>  I want to completely remove OpenOffice.org from my Ubuntu in one step, is it possible, there are so many packages of openoffice installed ?
[07:05] <Madpilot> madman__, Linux is designed for multiple-user systems, where having everything "owned by the user" doesn't make much sense
[07:06] <jman8888> Do you think Linspire would ever make CNR for ubuntu?
[07:06] <Madpilot> tjb, if you've got a fast enough computer, the LiveCD can work for day-to-day stuff; installing is still a far better way to go
[07:06] <tjb> Madpilot: Acknowledged.
[07:06] <hermes01> Anyone here familiar with Cygwin?  (no one is around in #cygwin)...
[07:06] <rocco> FisrtLite: in any case, could you ping me to see if at least the router is visible from where you are?
[07:06] <FirstLite> rocco: They can ping your external IP address, but the router might not let the pings through
[07:06] <tjb> Madpilot: Is installing a dual-boot with NTFS Windows risky though?
[07:06] <brendonjt> tabman:  sudo apt-get remove openoffice
[07:07] <Madpilot> tjb, there's lots of people who've done it, not many seem to have issues.

[07:07] <AustLaw> I dont see an option to change the toolbar in normal file navigation
[07:07] <madman__> how do i get permmsion to open all files ? that is my question.
[07:07] <Madpilot> tjb, have a look at the first URL in ubotu's post above ^^^
[07:07] <tabman> brendonjt: while trying to remove some of the openoffice packages it also tells me to remove ubuntu-desktop ? which is worrying
[07:07] <tjb> Okay.
[07:07] <FirstLite> rocco: I can ping you at the 87... IP
[07:07] <AustLaw> the icons are huge with text, can I remove the text?
[07:07] <JoseStefan> rocco, ping works

[07:08] <rocco> FirstLite: given that <IP_ADDRESS> is my router's assigned ip and that my own static ip is <IP_ADDRESS>, where am i at from the outside world? i hope i'm making some sense here :))
[07:08] <infidel> damn i just installed wine and internet explorer on my amd64 wahooo :D
[07:08] <AustLaw> its the "main toolbar" I was to change
[07:08] <iliketoprogram> hiya!  with enlightenment, can any  of you tell me how i can make it (instead of 2 desktops with 2 screens each) 9 desktops with 4 screens each?
[07:08] <madman__> Madpilot: ty
[07:08] <jman8888> How much knowlege would it take to make a Apt-get frontend that is similar to cnr. I would love it because i like to know what programs look like before i install.
[07:08] <brendonjt> tabman:  yip the desktop files for openoffice, it happened to me one other time removing evolution  it said that package as well,
[07:08] <rocco> Whew!!! thanks JoseStefan! good news at last
[07:08] <tabman> brendonjt: so that shouldn't be a problem ?
[07:08] <brendonjt> tabman:  but hey  i can still boot into gnome  no worries
[07:09] <nickipee> hello quick question: how do i add a terminal panel button in xfce, what is the path for the teminal
[07:09] <FirstLite> You're probably at the 87... IP as far as the outside world is concerned.  The router is presumably rewriting the packets to change the IP ("NAT") when it sends them to you
[07:09] <tehsu_> i feel like banging my head now
[07:09] <Madpilot> brendonjt, the "ubuntu-desktop" package only matters when it's time to upgrade your Ubuntu - if it's missing the rest of the time, the system doesn't care
[07:09] <brendonjt> tabman:  shouldn't be it only removes the openoffice dekstop  that is what i get from it,  you can do it from synaptic as well
[07:09] <FirstLite> rocco: The 192... is only used on the local network behind the router
[07:10] <DanaG> Too bad you can't use UPnP in Linux.
[07:10] <DanaG> That's one way to get external IP, if your router supports it.
[07:10] <Abst> I am user #7555
[07:10] <brendonjt> Madpilot:ok  thanks for enlightening me on that  one i always thought it was like the desktop shortcut files and the likes
[07:10] <rocco> FirstLite: yeah, see if i try to connect with my browser, i don't see my website, but the router's configuration webpage! i'm trying to get out of this mess
[07:10] <tjb> One more question:  Should I install Ubuntu and then decide I don't want it hanging around anymore, is it possible to clear the Ubuntu partition without reinstalling Windows?
[07:10] <Abst> !counter > me
[07:10] <tabman> brendonjt: I need to remove all of Ubuntu openoffice SDK as well and installt the openoffice & SDK provided by openoffice.org
[07:10] <tjb> s/Should/If
[07:11] <FirstLite> rocco: Which IP are you connecting to?  The 87... one?
[07:11] <kandala> Hi all, I installed Ubuntu on my laptop a month back. From the past couple of days, I am having some problem with my Firefox browser. Whenever I start my browser, the system's slows down and when I examine the top, I would see Firefox consuming lot of memory. Any help on this would be appreciated
[07:11] <tehsu_> where is firmware_class in the kernel?
[07:11] <brendonjt> tabman:  yip  that's cool,  can i ask  why you want to remove OoO
[07:11] <rocco> FirstLite: that's right.
[07:12] <FirstLite> rocco: Hmm . . . not exactly sure why that is happening.  What kind of router is this?
[07:12] <madman__> if i use graphical root login will that give file permmsion from the get with having to use sudo and passwd ?
[07:12] <jack> dudu
[07:12] <madman__> not*
[07:12] <Madpilot> madman__, it would, but that's a seriously bad idea...

[07:13] <tjb> Is FAT-partition resizing less risky than NTFS-partition resizing?
[07:13] <FirstLite> rocco: Did you already try putting your IP address "in the DMZ" in the router's configuration, or "forwarding" port 80 to your IP?
[07:13] <madman__> Madpilot: for who ? me ??
[07:13] <tabman> brendonjt: man the ubuntu OOo package is giving problems see: when I run the following macro: http://tabishfayyaz.googlepages.com/HelloWorldMacro.png I get the following exception: http://tabishfayyaz.googlepages.com/MacroException.png , the guy on openoffice.org advised me to get rid of ubuntu package & do a vanilla install from openoffice.org
[07:13] <Madpilot> madman__, for your system, yes. graphical root login is not needed or useful.
[07:13] <madman__> or the machine ?
[07:14] <rocco> FirtsLite: i did the last thing you mentioned. don't have a clue as to what DMZ is though :P
[07:14] <xhaan> i think i found your site rocco
[07:14] <erpo> When I do a gpg --sign-key KEYID, it doesn't ask me how carefully I've checked the identity of the key owner (0-3). What's up with that?
[07:14] <rocco> xhaan: c'mon, really? too good to be true!
[07:14] <xhaan> you need to change your server root though
[07:14] <xhaan> yeah
[07:14] <brendonjt> tabman:  hmm ok just i haven't had any problems with OoO, mind you i don't use macros though
[07:14] <FirstLite> rocco: DMZ means that all ports, not just #80, are forwarded to your IP.  It's sometimes easier to set up.
[07:14] <rocco> what do you see xhaan?
[07:14] <|thunder> how do I tile windows vertically in gnome ?
[07:15] <xhaan> hang on
[07:15] <kandala> why is my firefox eating up so much memory?
[07:15] <tjb> Is it possible to back up my entire Windows partition (and perhaps restore it later)?
[07:15] <tabman> brendonjt: but shouldn't the ubuntu developers be informed of this macro bug or whatever it is ? it works fine on my Windows installation
[07:15] <rocco> FirstLite: that sounds cool. i'll go have a lokk and see if i can get it working then
[07:15] <Redrose> What's up y'all?
[07:15] <brendonjt> tabman: yip  file a bug report
[07:15] <xhaan> it shows some directories, then if i click on desktoplinux the website opens
[07:16] <FirstLite> rocco: I think I see your site too.  Maybe it already works.
[07:16] <rocco> xhaan, yeah!
[07:16] <rocco> how are you guys doing it?
[07:16] <xhaan> so you need to make that desktoplinux directory your server root
[07:16] <tabman> brendonjt: where ?
[07:16] <xhaan> err desklinux rather
[07:16] <rocco> xhaan, i can do that with virtual hosts
[07:16] <Madpilot> tabman, bugs to to bugs.ubuntu.com - you'll need to create a username/pw
[07:16] <xhaan> i just typed in your ip address
[07:17] <DanaG> hmm, for Firefox:
[07:17] <Redrose> How do i compile the kernel? anyone, i would like an actual person to help, not the site, it's too confusing
[07:17] <xhaan> http://<IP_ADDRESS>/desklinux/
[07:17] <DanaG> http://www.mepis.org/node/5420
[07:17] <rocco> my real problem was getting the router to work
[07:17] <DanaG> What router?
[07:17] <xhaan> well it works now apparently :0
[07:17] <Redrose> i type make deb-pkg after the make menuconfig and then what?
[07:18] <rocco> xhaan, i still see the router's page! how are you managing this stunt???
[07:18] <FirstLite> rocco: Your router must not be doing the port forwarding when the request originates from "inside".  Or something.  I'm not sure if this is normal or not.
[07:18] <xhaan> hmm thats odd, :p
[07:19] <Redrose> Can anyone help me with compiling the kernel?
[07:19] <Wiseguy> hey guys, what package do i need so that i can compile source files? isnt there something that installs gcc and a bunch of libs necessary for compiling source?
[07:19] <xhaan> FirstLite, mine does the same but only when i use its lanside ip
[07:19] <Redrose> Wiseguy, build-essentials
[07:19] <rocco> ok. one last question. what happens when you guys try to connect to the URL: freeculture.globedns.info?
[07:20] <AustLaw> trying to open a file from firefox, I want to point to amaroK, where can I find it?
[07:20] <FirstLite> xhaan: Yeah, that's what mine does too.  I expected that using the WAN IP would work OK.
[07:20] <rocco> http://freeculture.globedns.info
[07:20] <mckinnoj> Quick question. Does Ubuntu have a firewall already loaded by default?
[07:20] <rocco> does the URL work too?
[07:20] <phatsteezy> hello all. I installed sendmail and it's giving me errors on boot, and GDM won't load!
[07:20] <xhaan> rocco, the url doesnt work
[07:21] <rocco> damn! i don't get it
[07:21] <xhaan> has your ip address changed?
[07:21] <JoseStefan> rocco, is that a dynamic host service?
[07:21] <rocco> yeah it is
[07:21] <FirstLite> rocco: The DNS name resolves to <IP_ADDRESS>.  It looks like a dynamic DNS problem.
[07:21] <JoseStefan> rocco, is it possible the service has not refreshed to target your new ip?
[07:22] <rocco> well i've been refreshing it
[07:22] <rocco> should be uptodate
[07:23] <JoseStefan> rocco, grc.com has a port scanner you could use to check what ports are accessible to the net
[07:23] <tabman> Madpilot: do you think they'll be able to solve the issue in a day or two, as in they are quick to replying or its gonna take some time ?
[07:23] <Wiseguy> where do i find build-essentials?
[07:23] <rocco> JoseStefan: i'll check that right now. thanks
[07:23] <JoseStefan> rocco, look for "Shields Up"
[07:23] <AustLaw> how can I simply point to an application to open a file? :/
[07:23] <mckinnoj> Quick question. Does Ubuntu have a firewall already loaded by default?
[07:24] <MagicFab> how many languages does ubuntu / gnu/linux support
[07:24] <MagicFab> ?
[07:24] <Lynoure> Wiseguy: usually   sudo apt-get install build-essentials    finds it fon you
[07:24] <rocco> i just did a nslookup on the URL and it is definitely right. would you mind clickking on it one last time to be sure?
[07:24] <Lynoure> s/fon/for
[07:25] <xhaan> it works now
[07:25] <xhaan> maybe it just now updated
[07:25] <JoseStefan> rocco, Italian?
[07:26] <Wiseguy> E: Couldn't find package build-essentials
[07:26] <MagicFab> I see about 114 languages in the language tool in the System menu.
[07:26] <AustLaw> come on simple question, newb needs help. I want to directly open a file that I am downloading with firefox. I need to browse to amaroK. I dont even know where linux keeps applications.
[07:26] <rocco> JoseStefan: yes, italian
[07:26] <JoseStefan> rocco, Site under construction, please have a little patience
[07:26] <rocco> JoseStefan: right!
[07:26] <JoseStefan> rocco, i dont know italian, just spanish
[07:26] <rocco> JoseStefan: with the URL?
[07:26] <JoseStefan> rocco, yes
[07:26] <MagicFab> AustLaw, right click on the file, select Properties | Open with
[07:26] <Ademan> mckinnoj: no it doesnt, but because of the way it is set up, in its default configuration it doesn't need a firewall at all, in fact, its much more secure than windows in its default state
[07:27] <rocco> JoseStefan: great!
[07:27] <Tonren> Hey guys, how do I add pure-ftpd to the list of daemons that start on bootup?
[07:27] <AustLaw> really I want to know where to point to in the future
[07:27] <MagicFab> AustLaw, also check FF's prefs
[07:27] <AustLaw> is there a 'file
[07:27] <rocco> guys, i really don't know how to thank you all. you really helped me a lot. :)
[07:27] <AustLaw> or is it just a command thing?
[07:28] <Andy-> how do I uninstall ubuntu?
[07:28] <mckinnoj> Ok. I asked about the firewall because I think something is blocking my bittorrent ports.  Would the operating system be responsible for that, and if so, how do I open them up?
[07:28] <JoseStefan> rocco, have any MotoGP racers in the family?
[07:28] <FirstLite> Wiseguy: try 'build-essential' (no 's')
[07:29] <erpo> mckinnoj: Not as far as I know. However, if you're using a router, that's probably the problem. Failing that, your ISP might be silently terminating bittorrent connections. Mine does. And don't bother asking tech support because the ISP doesn't inform their techs of this policy.

[07:33] <JoseStefan> Andy-, you'll need the windows recovery console to fix the MBR, once you can boot into window straight, then delete the partition
[07:33] <erpo> mckinnoj: You can run bittorrent on any port, so that doesn't matter. Some networks block bittorrent by examining the actual content of the packets you send.
[07:33] <JoseStefan> rocco, yes

[07:39] <Ademan> lmosher: hrm, well, then i don't know what to tell you, worked fine for me, i know i left just one package out once, and it didnt work
[07:40] <Ademan> lmosher: mplayer is nice though, i reccomend that over totem ... i think... i'm not sure at this point, i used to use totem but mplayer is growing on me
[07:40] <lmosher> could be something like that.. I'll try again if it doesn't install anything I'll know I did it correctly
[07:40] <DanaG|Away> Hey bittorrent people, what ports are you using?
[07:40] <DanaG|Away> Google for GRC ShieldsUp.
[07:41] <DanaG|Away> Azureus supports encryption, and uTorrent does too -- but you'd have to Wine it.
[07:41] <DanaG|Away> oops, I'm late
[07:41] <DanaG|Away> Oh, and I use an oddball port -- 55555
[07:42] <AustLaw> how do I change the site of the navigation icons in the gnome windows?
[07:42] <AustLaw> the main toolbar?
[07:42] <AustLaw> **the size
[07:43] <AustLaw> the back, forward, up buttons
[07:43] <looktj> where is the grub menu.list located?
[07:43] <infidel> is ubuntu going to support more amd64 packages in the future?
[07:45] <xhaan> looktj, should be in /boot/grub
[07:45] <CharonX> Is it normal for a nfs to take a long time to mount ?
[07:46] <_azrael> CharonX: Install nfs-common.
[07:46] <looktj> xhaan: nope
[07:46] <_azrael> CharonX: mount still tries to mount nfs shares without it, but if it's not installed it goes hella slow.
[07:46] <CharonX> _azrael, Ill give it a shot
[07:46] <CharonX> _azrael, Ah, thanks
[07:46] <detectiveinspekt> how do I add a partition so I can acess it for more space?
[07:47] <|thunder> detectiveinspekt, install gparted
[07:47] <super> Hi all, I'm new to linux and need some help.
[07:48] <AustLaw> can you remove the text on the main toolbar? the back, forward, up buttons, the huge buttons are driving me crazy
[07:48] <detectiveinspekt> ok thanks will do that now
[07:48] <brendonjt> super:  wots up  just ask your question
[07:49] <super> I'm having trouble installing mozactivex
[07:49] <CharonX> _azrael, Thanks a bunch. Now it mounts instantly.
[07:49] <brendonjt> super:  ok  never heard to that app  what is it?
[07:49] <super> active x for mozilla foxfire
[07:49] <kvidell> I would presume it allows active x to run in firefox by the name ;P
[07:50] <xhaan> looktj, its menu.lst by the way, if thats what youre looking for :0
[07:51] <Kream> hi all. i'm using openoffice on ubuntu. openoffice starts with hindi localised menu entries. unfortunately, the hindi menus are garbled and unreadable. how do i switch openoffice localised interfaces ?
[07:53] <MM2> Interesting: i'm installing server-expert and adding new user and password. It only asks password, not username?
[07:54] <kingrayray> hey, is there a program i can use to download one file from multiple sources?
[07:54] <detectiveinspekt> I mounted the hdd using the diskmanager but still don't have acess to it as a normal user
[07:54] <fyrestrtr> Kream: try installing one of the openoffice.org-l10n-xx packages, where xx is a language or country code. For example, the us english one is openoffice.org-l10n-en-us
[07:54] <maple> or use MS office
[07:55] <fyrestrtr> kingrayray: torrent?
[07:55] <kingrayray> fyrestrtr: lol, i mean via http
[07:55] <sethk> MM2, dapper uses the user name "oem", which I think is a bit bizarre, but you can always change it
[07:55] <DanaG|Away> That's the OEM install.
[07:55] <DanaG|Away> There's also "text-mode install"
[07:56] <fyrestrtr> and 'server'
[07:56] <fyrestrtr> and 'lamp'
[07:56] <sethk> I don't like the concept, but as I said, it can be changed so I won't invest any emotion in it  :)
[07:56] <brendonjt> DanaG: that's true you have to run a command  once itis installed then it asks you for a user name
[07:57] <Madpilot> sethk, server install uses oem? I thought that was only for the actual oem install...?
[07:57] <sethk> Madpilot, I might be wrong.  that's what I thought but I seem to be outvoted so maybe my memory is swiss cheese
[07:58] <_azrael> kingrayray: I don't know of an individual program, but you could portion it off, issue "continuation" requests starting from various points in the file, and dd it back together were it big enough.
[07:58] <kingrayray> eh that kind've defeats my intention, i was thinking more seperate connections >> more speed :P
[07:58] <kingrayray> trying to download a 1.7gb file, and the torrent for it is slow
[07:58] <_azrael> Ah.
[07:59] <kingrayray> its all good i'm just going to restart the torrent and hit the hay =)
[07:59] <sethk> kingrayray, if it is over http, there isn't any way to request less than a page
[07:59] <AustLaw_> where are applications located?
[07:59] <AustLaw_> for example, program is asking me to point to my favorite browser, so where is firefox located?
[07:59] <_azrael> sethk: Not true. Haven't you ever done a wget -c after losing your net connection?
[07:59] <sethk> AustLaw, /usr/bin, /bin, /sbin, /usr/sbin, other places
[08:00] <sethk> _azrael, that's different, you are continuing an interrupted transfer, not asking for a unit that the server isn't aware of
[08:00] <richiefrich> AustLaw also /usr/local
[08:00] <AustLaw_> do you know where firefox is?
[08:00] <DanaG|Away> Someone needs to make an entry in the wiki or FAQ:
[08:00] <_azrael> AustLaw_: which firefox <-a command to run.
[08:00] <richiefrich> AustLaw local firefox
[08:00] <sethk> AustLaw, I know where mine is.  you can find your's at the command line:    which firefox
[08:00] <brendonjt> austlaw:  why  don't you set your perferred browsers  to ff,  and it should work  just a thought  may be wrong
[08:00] <richiefrich> AustLaw whereis  firefox
[08:00] <JoseStefan> !fhs > AustLaw_
[08:00] <DanaG|Away> My DHCP client didn't work until I added the "send host-name" to /etc/network/dhclient.conf
[08:00] <nuxord> hello
[08:01] <maple> WTF, openoffice runs on java?
[08:01] <_azrael> sethk: I can have switched IPs and still issue continuations. Which means that a continuation http request just starts further on. The idea would be to do that, and then just terminate the connection partway through.
[08:01] <nuxord> i want to watch some videos on youtube, but i need a flash plugin for FF..how can i get it, i have been searching but nothing has come up :( ?
[08:01] <brendonjt> maple:  some  functions require java
[08:01] <Madpilot> AustLaw, most Linux apps, you can just put the name of the app in, it'll work - try just putting "firefox", no path & no quotes, in
[08:01] <richiefrich> maple yes
[08:01] <brendonjt> maple:  that's why there are 2 versions to download with and without java
[08:01] <sethk> _azrael, without having downloaded the data already, you have no way to tell it how much of it you received, so I don't see that as a viable strategy
[08:02] <ius> hi guys
[08:02] <pseydtonne> dang... back pain.
[08:02] <brendonjt> ius:  hi there
[08:02] <ius> need help here
[08:02] <richiefrich> problem
[08:02] <AustLaw> well for eample, if you directly open a file from firefox, if you want to choose the app
[08:02] <_azrael> sethk: You predesignate that source 1 will give me the first 10 megs, source 2 the second 10 megs, or similar. Then issue a regular request to source 1, terminate it after 10 megs, and at the same time issue a continuation request at +10 megs to source2
[08:02] <ius> can u give me links about setting up samba in advance mode
[08:02] <_azrael> sethk: then concatenate the results.
[08:02] <ius> ?
[08:02] <AustLaw> it asks for its location, does not give you an option to just run the cmd
[08:03] <richiefrich> !samba
[08:03] <ubotu> samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[08:03] <richiefrich> ^^
[08:03] <sethk> _azrael, I understand the concept, I just don't think the protocol works that way, but I'll look again.
[08:03] <ius> ok
[08:03] <Justin_> Good news people :) - Flash 9 will be availible for Linux soon
[08:03] <_azrael> sethk: Whatever, this is kinda offtopic anyway.
[08:03] <pseydtonne> ir just go to www.samba.org
[08:03] <Kream> Justin_: says who?
[08:03] <_azrael> Justin_: Where's that news from?
[08:03] <ius> how about ejabberd set up ?
[08:03] <pseydtonne> woot! Nine!
[08:03] <|thunder> Justin_, ya,  i saw that on digg earlier
[08:03] <Justin_> http://weblogs.macromedia.com/emmy/archives/2006/05/yes_virginia_th.cfm
[08:03] <richiefrich> Justin_ yes in 2007
[08:03] <looktj> now i can't find my grub/menu.list
[08:03] <nuxord> how can i play vids in youtube..how can i get the pluggin!? :(
[08:03] <Justin_> Macromedia, developer for adobe/flash
[08:03] <DanaG|Away> OOh, one cool thing to do:
[08:03] <DanaG|Away> Back up root's .bashrc and copy your own over it.
[08:04] <Justin_> They finally heard out voices :))
[08:04] <DanaG|Away> That gives you plenty of tab completion.
[08:04] <xhaan> looktj, its menu.lst
[08:04] <xhaan> just in case thats why you cant find it
[08:04] <looktj> where?
[08:04] <nuxord> when with flash 9 be out..any date up? i really mis youtube :( ?
 is tab:   apt-g<> in<> xser<>xo<>-dr<>all
[08:04] <DanaG|Away> (apt-get install xserver-xorg-driver-all)
[08:04] <richiefrich> Justin_  may i ask how is 2007 soon ?
[08:04] <DanaG|Away> With tabs.
[08:04] <sethk> looktj, /boot/grub/menu.lst
[08:05] <Justin_> richiefrich, That is only l4 months away
[08:05] <Justin_> 4* even that is pretty soon in terms of corporate software
[08:05] <richiefrich> they never said when in 2007
[08:05] <richiefrich> early
[08:05] <richiefrich> means what
[08:06] <looktj> do i gotta boot into the livecd?
[08:06] <richiefrich> to me it means when they get to it
[08:06] <Justin_> Meh, I bet you it will be before 2007 - macromedia and Adobe are pretty quick
[08:06] <pseydtonne> early usually means end of Q1
[08:06] <pseydtonne> so... March
[08:06] <xhaan> looktj,  are you on linux right now?
[08:06] <jazzrocker> !network install
[08:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about network install - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:06] <richiefrich> Justin_ when has Adobe been quick ?
[08:06] <DanaG|Away> !netinstall
[08:06] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[08:06] <jazzrocker> how can i install ubuntu on a computer with no monitor
[08:06] <richiefrich> Justin_  they totally skipped us on the last version
[08:06] <jazzrocker> e.g. via network cable
[08:07] <looktj> im been trying to setup dual boot with sethk's help
[08:07] <auto> hi
[08:07] <auto> who can help me?
[08:07] <Justin_> richiefrich, Yep that they did - but the Gnash project is bad anyways...
[08:07] <brendonjt> auto: depends on what the question is
[08:07] <DanaG|Away> (to Flash:)  "And while you're at it, stop eating my CPU!"
[08:07] <JoseStefan> jazzrocker, connecting a monitor to it
[08:07] <CharonX> Is there a way to increase sound quality ? I just got mp3's working and they sound terrible. Good when the music is not very complicated but it seems to have "static" with lots of instruments/voice going on. ???
[08:07] <richiefrich> Justin_ i am just wondering how u can say there quick
[08:08] <jazzrocker> JoseStefan, without doing that
[08:08] <richiefrich> Justin_ they screwed use!
[08:08] <jazzrocker> JoseStefan, i'm almost certain there's a way to do a network boot
[08:08] <auto> i try to connect in my home (kubuntu) with ssh but i cant
[08:08] <JoseStefan> jazzrocker, install on another PC, swap the drive
[08:08] <Justin_> richiefrich, Well for windows stuff anyways they are pretty quick
[08:08] <brendonjt> joseAtefan:  i was going to suggest that
[08:08] <jazzrocker> JoseStefan, hmmm, interesting idea
[08:08] <richiefrich> Justin_ i havent run windows since 93
[08:08] <Justin_> :))
[08:08] <richiefrich> so that means nothing to me
[08:08] <pseydtonne> auto: Did you configure your router as well as /etc/ssh/sshd_config?
[08:08] <jazzrocker> JoseStefan, how bout an actual solution to the question i asked ?
[08:09] <Justin_> I do daily simply for audio since Linux is still stuck in 96' when it comes to home recording etc
[08:09] <jazzrocker> JoseStefan, e.g. installing on another drive still requires me to take down my machine for a little while
[08:09] <pseydtonne> Justin_: seriously
[08:10] <Justin_> If there is one place Linux needs improvement - it is in Audio, however I am looking forward to the Mubuntu project
[08:10] <JoseStefan> jazzrocker, installing ubuntu requires rebooting, and following a GUI, you cant do that remotly. You can however upgrade ubuntu remotly, but surely not install it
[08:10] <auto> i have change port in sshd_config in 20002 but still i cant
[08:10] <auto> i use no-ip
[08:10] <ihatelinux> guys .. need help here
[08:10] <Justin_> ihatelinux, what?
[08:10] <pseydtonne> auto: What is the error you receive when you attempt to connect?
[08:10] <Remy> ihatelinux - running windows?
[08:10] <Remy> :-P
[08:10] <Madpilot> ihatelinux, with a nick like that, you might have trouble being taken seriously here...
[08:10] <ihatelinux> tutorial about portsentry in ubuntu

[08:11] <ihatelinux> where is it
[08:11] <richiefrich> ihatelinux  loss the nick
[08:11] <richiefrich> loose

[08:12] <richiefrich> brendonjt it kinda like F... u
[08:12] <JoseStefan> jazzrocker, what is the computer running now?
[08:12] <CharonX> Strange, sound was terrible. BUt if you max PCM and Master and drop xmms volume to almost nothing it sounds great......
[08:12] <jazzrocker> JoseStefan, i'm honestly not sure :P
[08:12] <auto> in my work
[08:12] <brendonjt> richiefrich:  totally,  and he/she expects to get help with a nick like that
[08:12] <jazzrocker> JoseStefan, i think it's a dual boot between Arch Linux and XP Pro
[08:12] <auto> from work dont take any message
[08:12] <richiefrich> brendonjt not from me :P
[08:13] <brendonjt> richiefrich:  me either
[08:13] <AustLaw> how do you execute commands on connect in xchat?
[08:13] <pseydtonne> auto: okay, do you get the same error if you use your IP address into of your domain name?
[08:13] <richiefrich> lol
[08:13] <ihatelinux> i couldn't find portsentry in the repository, where is it guys ?
[08:13] <auto> yes
[08:13] <JoseStefan> !portsentry
[08:13] <ubotu> portsentry: Portscan detection daemon. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2-9 (dapper), package size 64 kB, installed size 276 kB
[08:13] <brendonjt> austlaw: go xchat->server list->edit
[08:13] <bjron> I'm looking for an easy way to run a command periodically (say, every 50 sec) for the next hour.  suggustions?
[08:13] <duane> has anyone here tried PCLinuxOS?
[08:13] <auto> a! the inetd.conf file is empty. is this right?
[08:13] <Madpilot> ihatelinux, it's in Universe repo
[08:14] <pseydtonne> okay. Did you configure your home router to forward any calls to port 20002 to the ssh server's IP address?
[08:14] <Justin_> ihatelinux, -> system -> software properties - add all repos
[08:14] <ihatelinux> ok ,, maybe my source.list need update
[08:14] <sethk> ihatelinux, found it in, of all places, package portsentry
[08:14] <auto> yes my speedtouch modem/router forwarding the pc in this ports?
[08:14] <AustLaw> brendonjt: you mean preferances? in xchat server list?
[08:15] <auto> yes my speedtouch modem/router forwarding the pc in this ports
[08:15] <auto> yes my speedtouch modem/router forwarding the pc in this ports as udp and tcp
[08:15] <pseydtonne> auto: good.
[08:15] <Abst> Wait
[08:15] <Abst> Your trying to get a speedtouch modem to work with Ubuntu?
[08:15] <pseydtonne> Do you get the same problem if you sit on some network other than work (say, a coffee shop)?
[08:16] <brendonjt> austlaw: nope as in there it has boxes  to set commands to run etc etc  make sure you click on ther server though ie irc.freenode.org
[08:16] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell ihatelinux about universe
[08:16] <Abst> !universe > Abst
[08:16] <Abst> !easysource > Abst
[08:16] <fyrestrtr> !msgthebot > Abst
[08:17] <AustLaw> where is in there? I dont see a server option place, or do you mean open the config file?
[08:17] <fyrestrtr> bjron: use cron for that.
[08:17] <Madpilot> AustLaw, you running real XChat, or XChat-Gnome?
[08:17] <AustLaw> oh...xchat-gnome
[08:18] <AustLaw> didnt know there was a 'real' one
[08:18] <brendonjt> austlaw: opps  sorry there mate i just use xchat
[08:18] <Madpilot> AustLaw, no idea, then - real XChat is far more flexible than XChat-Godawful
[08:18] <AustLaw> i shall download it then
[08:19] <ihatelinux> ok .. done with portsentry. I wonder if u guys have some tutorials 'bout setting up MailScanner with Ubuntu (postfix)
[08:19] <maina> hello pple
[08:19] <Kream> i'm using the hi_IN locale. when my openoffice starts up it looks like this: http://191a.net/garbled-oo.png . can someone tell me what the problem might be ?
[08:20] <bjron> fyrestrtr, thinking more along the lines of a simple bash script, so it will just quit after the desired time and I won't have to remove from my cron tab
[08:20] <Abst> Can I install flash for firefox?
[08:20] <brendonjt> austlaw:  and also real xchat  is far more stable  than xchat=gnome
[08:20] <upgrdman> anyone know of a gui app for checking the SMART status of hdd's, and perhaps do a few other checks? gui being key
[08:20] <Madpilot> Abst, yes
[08:20] <richiefrich> and one know anything about upstart  besides what i read on the site about?
[08:20] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell Abst about flash
[08:20] <Abst> madpilot: How?
[08:21] <Abst> Okayi ll read it
[08:21] <CharonX> Is there any easy/slick setup to get a logitech elite keyboard working in ubuntu ?
[08:21] <AustLaw_> indeed, looks much better so far
[08:21] <maina> i have a problem with ma mail server, am receiving an error in evolution 'fetching error, message cannot be appended into mbox, file too large'
[08:22] <Sakireth> Hi, guys. After i've filled my PC again and ran a few apps, it has indeed become slow.

[08:23] <Sakireth> ihatelinux: i already did.
[08:23] <_lupine> maina: try using maildir instead
[08:23] <_lupine> sounds like the file is getting too long
[08:23] <pseydtonne> whoops! Gotta go...
[08:23] <Sakireth> ihatelinux: i think it's cuz of the amount of apps i run. Gaim - rhytmbox - firefox - frostwire - nautilus - cream...
[08:23] <Sakireth> ihatelinux: all together, on 512 RAM. is that the reason?
[08:23] <maina> pliz guys can anyone help me
[08:24] <ihatelinux> i'm not sure
[08:24] <maina> i have a problem with ma mail server, am receiving an error in evolution 'fetching error, message cannot be appended into mbox, file too large'
[08:24] <Sakireth> wow.. CPU usage goes up to 60^
[08:24] <Sakireth> 60%*

[08:31] <brendonjt> austlaw:  alot of games are being ported to linux so it is coming along quickly
[08:31] <whazilla> but it didn't ask a username ? is it standard or something ?
[08:32] <Madpilot> whazilla, did you install from the LiveCD?
[08:32] <whazilla> is it normal dapper only asks for password ? not username .... during install ?
[08:32] <whazilla> livedvd yes

[08:33] <whazilla> torrent
[08:33] <whazilla> from officail site
[08:33] <Madpilot> whazilla, you didn't do an OEM install by accident, did you? Normal install should ask for username & password during installation...
[08:33] <Sakireth> ihatelinux: how to get it normal then?
[08:34] <whazilla> oem
[08:34] <whazilla> yes
[08:34] <Sakireth> Madpilot: what does OEM do?
[08:34] <ihatelinux> i've installed maybe 20 times ubuntu, always asking name and password
[08:34] <JoseStefan> user is probably "oem" too
[08:34] <Madpilot> Sakireth, it's for ppl who want to sell machines w/ Ubuntu, all set up except for final username
[08:34] <whazilla> how i make another user with oem priviliges and delete oem ?
[08:35] <whazilla> thkx for the hint :D
[08:35] <Sakireth> Madpilot: and how do you add the username then?
[08:35] <Madpilot> Sakireth, mostly, it's for confusing people...
[08:35] <Flannel> whazilla: you should have had a wizard run once you first logged in to do that
[08:35] <ihatelinux> hohoho ..
[08:35] <JoseStefan> you could probably just rename the user
[08:35] <Flannel> Sakireth: on your first boot, you are presented with a wizard that removes the OEM user and adds your own
[08:36] <whazilla> kk
[08:36] <whazilla> next q
[08:36] <Sakireth> Flannel: ah
[08:36] <ihatelinux> i didn't know that
[08:36] <whazilla> how i set my laptop in deep deep sleep (like 0ff but instant on ?)
[08:36] <whazilla> like i did on xp
[08:36] <whazilla> it's off
[08:36] <whazilla> but in sleep
[08:37] <whazilla> wuz when i choose hibernate it stays on
[08:37] <whazilla> that's, no sleepmode
[08:38] <whazilla> crap
[08:38] <whazilla> Flannel ther was no whizard
[08:38] <brendonjt> wots  crap
[08:39] <whazilla> and the sleepmode suxx on ubuntu ...
[08:39] <whazilla> how i alter this reality ?
[08:39] <brendonjt> u have to type in a command can't remember what it is
[08:39] <whazilla> ^^

[08:39] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[08:39] <mkquist_> anyone good w/network card probs?
[08:39] <ompaul> !wireless > mkquist_
[08:40] <Flannel> whazilla: you'll need to run the command, I've forgotten what it is, open a terminal, type "oem" and hit tab twice

[08:41] <Dralid> I'm playing around with Ubuntu on my spare computer. I'm trying to run XGL as described in http://www.tectonic.co.za/view.php?id=916.  I have the output of  .xsession-errors, but it's too big to paste here. This is the most interesting line though, "GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_scale_simple: assertion `dest_width > 0' failed". I'm a computer programmer with debug experience, but a linux noob. Please help, I've been working on this fo
[08:41] <Dralid> r weeks.
[08:41] <Kream> the file in question is /usr/lib/openoffice/share/registry/schema/org/openoffice/Office/Linguistic.xcs

[08:43] <UpMarc> hi... good-evening...please, can someone tell me which name I set for Totem to be the preview player of aMule? or the path to Totem, for I didn't find this name in my searches
[08:43] <Flannel> mkquist_: You hit enter, but only after typing complete thoughts, as opposed to some people who do it every third word, etc
[08:43] <mkquist_> so it wasnt aimed at me?
[08:43] <ompaul> mkquist_, that is correct
[08:43] <Flannel> mkquist_: no, the wireless one was
[08:43] <mkquist_> thankyou...
[08:43] <mkquist_> Flannel-its a wired network
[08:44] <Flannel> mkquist_: I didn't do it, ompaul did.  heh.
[08:44] <PhibreOptix> Hey, does anybody know of an mp3 player that has a library function similar to windows media player?   Ive lost my network connection on one of my machines, was working fine now not
[08:45] <ompaul> mkquist_,  w is usually percieved as wireless, however for wired you should click on System Administration Networking and choose the device and activate it with either dhcp or static (the former is more usual)
[08:45] <gansinho> mkquist_: hello again!
[08:46] <PhibreOptix> Hi
[08:46] <ompaul> mkquist_,  if that ceases it is possible that the network card has given up the ghost
[08:46] <gansinho> mkquist_: remember me? last nigh... mounting hdb1 and stuf... ?? It's ok now!

[09:09] <gansinho> so... same error again... when trying to enable nvidia

[09:21] <brendonjt> fire away
[09:21] <NoobZaibot> How do i setup Ubuntu as my network boot server ?
[09:22] <mkquist_> anyone have any idea towards no network connection? used to work, but quit like 2 days ago.
[09:22] <russellb> NoobZaibot: tftp
[09:22] <brendonjt> mkquist:  what settings have you changed apps installed?
[09:22] <redhand> 04:21AM... I needed sleep... not more... ubuntu is more interessant
[09:22] <Blacklight> lol
[09:22] <russellb> Anyone recommend a development environment for php, html, css, JavaScript with FTP built in?
[09:23] <NoobZaibot> russellb : Do u have any links with a howto ?
[09:23] <eternalswd> russellb, if it's just for development, you probably want xampp.  just google it.
[09:23] <hamdan> when i open update manger i see error message : " Software index is broken "
[09:23] <russellb> No, I have only used it
[09:23] <mkquist_> brendonjt - im not understanding the question
[09:24] <russellb> eternalswd: thanks man
[09:24] <gansinho> YEAHHHH , IT'S WORKING!!!
[09:24] <redhand> gallag, YEAAHHh! ;)
[09:24] <redhand> great!
[09:24] <Nrvs> sup fellas
[09:24] <mkquist_> brendonjt - ic havent, just quit coupla days ago
[09:24] <redhand> ops... gansinho \o/
[09:24] <gansinho> mkquist_: !!!
[09:24] <FRET> what entry should be in my resolve.conf if I want to use DHCP?
[09:24] <russellb> Nrvs: what if there are ladies in here?
[09:24] <gansinho> redhand: you knew it first hand...
[09:24] <mkquist_> gansinho - good for u
[09:24] <gansinho> thanks!
[09:24] <Nrvs> sup crew :)
[09:25] <gansinho> sup.
[09:25] <gansinho> other guy helped me too
[09:25] <Nrvs> same old. cant sleep
[09:25] <gansinho> can't remember the name... thanks by the way...
[09:25] <brendonjt> mkquist:  they could have made some sudden changes,  but that is unlikely  in linux though
[09:25] <eternalswd> mkquist_, are you sure it's not a problem apart from Ubuntu?  If you didn't change any settings or install anything, I'd suspect some sort of hardware problem
[09:26] <brendonjt> hamdan: umm  there is a repair thing for that just can't think of that at the moment
[09:26] <maki> hello
[09:26] <mkquist_> eternalswd - dual boot xp2, works there no probs... =/
[09:26] <brendonjt> hi maki
[09:26] <russellb> eternalswd: xampp is apache and php etc. I need the development enviroment like quanta but something with ftp
[09:27] <Shakezula> Hey what's a good GTK program that uses GPG to encrypt files or directories an end user could use?
[09:28] <Nrvs> i been having trouble installing some programs lately, think its something wrong with Make app.. not sure, kinda new with ubuntu
[09:28] <eternalswd> russellb, okay so you just want to write the code and ftp it to a server, not run a development server?
[09:29] <FRET> Shakezula, can be found in the ubuntu wiki I think
[09:30] <brendonjt> nrvs:  are you compiling your own apps:
[09:31] <Nrvs> this is all stuff i've gotten on the net, following install instructions and i get errors, thought it was just something with some of the programs but now im thinkin its somethign in ubuntu
[09:31] <eternalswd> russelb, probably the closest thing to what you want for writing code and having ftp access is Nvu.  I don't think there's much php support for it, so if you need to check syntax or something, you'd need to load up the php file in gedit or xemacs or some similar program
[09:31] <AlienX> Nrvs, which apps are you trying to compile?
[09:31] <Nrvs> tried to install the new cowpatty 4.0. no luck
[09:32] <hamdan> can i remove update manger and reinstall it >
[09:32] <hamdan> ?
[09:32] <Shakezula> Hm.
[09:33] <redhand> hamdan, why reason?
[09:33] <AlienX> Nrvs, what is the error you get when you try to compile?
[09:33] <Nrvs> lemme get it..
[09:33] <m_0_r_0_n> What package do I have to install to get fonts with antialiasing?
[09:34] <Kream> in ubuntu why am i denied permission when I do this: sudo pwd > en-GB.patch.README
[09:34] <Kream> ?
[09:34] <hamdan> redhand error message " software index is broken "
[09:35] <redhand> hamdan, hmm...
[09:35] <AlienX> Kream, that's just a readme file...you can read it in vi or nano or whatever your favorite text editor is
[09:35] <tjb> To run a Live CD, do I just 'start'?  I don't want it to write to my HD.
[09:36] <Nrvs> i pm'd error alien, kinda big
[09:36] <Madpilot> tjb, the LiveCD won't touch your HD unless you start the install
[09:36] <redhand> hamdan, see that: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202619
[09:36] <richiefrich> Kream and you piped to it so now you might have over written it
[09:36] <Kream> AlienX: i want to redirect the output of the pwd file to a README file.
[09:36] <AlienX> Nrvs, i didn't get a pm from you. Try posting it in http://pastebin.ca and then give me the link
[09:36] <richiefrich> Kream the password file why

[09:37] <richiefrich> PASTEBIN
[09:37] <Kream> ignore Nrvs
[09:37] <Kream> ahhh blessed silence
[09:37] <tjb> The Ubuntu forums look awesome.
[09:37] <Kream> anyway
[09:37] <richiefrich> Kream i am on it
[09:37] <richiefrich>  /ignore
[09:38] <AlienX> Nrvs, sounds like there is something wrong with whatever the libraries are in the app.
[09:38] <redhand> say /ignore and be happy =)
[09:38] <kintaro0e> hi guys...i need help on this: apt-get install ssh and it shows the error like this= Media change: please insert the disc label
[09:38] <Kream> which password file? i just want to redirect the output of the command pwd to an arbitrary file. and root has write perms on that directory.
[09:39] <Nrvs> can this be corrected
[09:39] <Nrvs> ?
[09:39] <brendonjt> hamdan: in a terminal type sudo apt-get install -f
[09:39] <Madpilot> Nrvs, next time, use a pastebin
[09:39] <fnozzke> how hard is it to install ubuntu compare with windows? ?
[09:39] <AlienX> i think he got the hint...
[09:39] <brendonjt> madpilot:  how does pastebin work  i have seen it here mentioned heaps of times
[09:39] <AlienX> fnozzke, much easier to install ubuntu than windows
[09:39] <Samuli^> !pastebin > brendonjt
[09:40] <fnozzke> oki
[09:40] <Ackeubu_> hey, i have read and used many many howtos to get my ATI  binary drivers to work several found on ubuntu wiki. no matter what I do i cant get ubuntu to use the fglrx drivers, so the mesa is used. I get this error. Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". Can someone explain what that means, and give any hints to what to do to solve it?
[09:40] <tjb> What do I select when I boot the Live CD?  'Start or install Ubuntu'?
[09:40] <AlienX> Nrvs, i'm not sure if it's something wrong with that package or if you're missing some library
[09:40] <brendonjt> cheers Samuli'
[09:40] <Samuli^> thank ubotu :)
[09:40] <Nrvs> well, i see openssl mentioned in the error, i have made sure i've installed it and a couple other necessities "read about on sites"
[09:40] <omnid> How would one allow a program to be used without administration approval
[09:41] <brendonjt> ok
[09:41] <brendonjt> thanks ubotu
[09:41] <AlienX> Nrvs, post the entire output of the compile over on the forum and see if anyone knows
[09:41] <Samuli^> omnid, chmod +x ?
[09:41] <omnid> On a program?
[09:41] <tjb> Yay -- Live CD's booting.
[09:42] <brendonjt> tjb: that good news
[09:42] <tjb> It's taking some time though.
[09:42] <Madpilot> tjb, now much RAM do you have, and what CPU speed?
[09:42] <Samuli^> omnid, I'm not sure, but I think that's how it works. You make it executable to others than root, though it might not be that simple in some (most) cases.
[09:42] <tjb> A gig of RAM, and a 3Ghz Celeron.
[09:43] <BeepAU> could someone help me burn an audio cd with gnomebaker?
[09:43] <Madpilot> tjb, the LiveCD should run just fine once it gets to the desktop, then. My system is 2Gbz/1Gb, it runs the Dapper LiveCD almost as fast as the destop version, mostly
[09:44] <brendonjt> beepau: use k3b  i have found it better than gnomebaker
[09:44] <tjb> Booted now.  It looks great.
[09:44] <tjb> Although the fonts aren't all that.
[09:45] <tjb> Then again, I am sitting close to the screen.
[09:45] <mkquist> netork problem solved for now...
[09:45] <brendonjt> tjb:  what were u using before  what version of ubuntu
[09:45] <mkquist> tjb -dont like ubuntu fonts?
[09:46] <tjb> This is the first time I've tried it.  I was using Windows before.
[09:46] <mkquist> tjb - well u can install those fonts in ubuntu
[09:46] <brendonjt> tjb:  well all i can say  is good to see another ubuntu user
[09:46] <AustLaw> ya, the ubuntu fonts are bothersome
[09:46] <omnid> So I add it to the command? Samuli^
[09:46] <tjb> It's really easy to use.
[09:46] <Kream> in ubuntu why am i denied permission when I do this: sudo pwd > blahblah on a directory in which root has write permission?
[09:46] <AustLaw> starting to get use to them, but still prefer the windows fonts
[09:46] <omnid> The run command
[09:46] <tjb> I'm only on a Live CD right now.
[09:47] <brendonjt> tjb:  so what do you think  are ya going to install it?
[09:47] <kkman> hi! I was wondering if anyone here can help me find a right channel to as a low level gcc question
[09:47] <fnozzke> its easy to get internet to work onced u installed ubuntu?:)
[09:47] <tjb> brendonjt: Not sure just yet.  Possibly.
[09:47] <AustLaw> you dont even need to install it -.-
[09:47] <tjb> brendonjt: My main concern is that I don't have a spare computer for it (I'd have to dual-boot).
[09:47] <fnozzke> oki, its find it self?=)
[09:47] <mkquist> to install window fonts, might check here, works for me.. http://www.taimila.com/ubuntuosx.php
[09:48] <AustLaw> I not have 3 comps and im still dual booting it lol
[09:48] <AustLaw> *I now have
[09:48] <mkquist> Austlaw - u might be interested in that
[09:48] <chops-> how come i am getting this error open("/usr/share/locale/en.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/make.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[09:48] <brendonjt> tjb:  you can duelboot
[09:48] <hamdan> redhand i solve the problem by synaptic
[09:48] <Madpilot> Kream, why are you using sudo & pwd anyway? pwd is just 'print working directory', it doesn't need sudo...
[09:48] <AndrukTatum> kkman: whats the question?
[09:48] <glick> howdy
[09:49] <AustLaw> how do I change root password?
[09:50] <Madpilot> AustLaw, unless you've already set one, there isn't a working root pw in Ubuntu...
[09:50] <kyja> systen?administration>lin panel
[09:50] <AndrukTatum> tjb: i highly suggest dual-booting, it gives you the best of both worlds, and shows you how crappy windows really is
[09:50] <kintaro0e> hi guys...i need help on this: apt-get install ssh and it shows the error like this= Media change: please insert the disc label
[09:51] <AustLaw> each time it asks me for my sudo password its just my normal password?
[09:51] <tjb> My only problem with dual-booting is that it can be risky and (as far as I know) if I decided I wanted only Windows again on that machine, I'd have to reinstall Windows
[09:51] <xhaan> AustLaw, yes
[09:51] <redhand> hamdan, great :)
[09:51] <AustLaw> hmm I would prefer a root password :|
[09:51] <redhand> hamdan, that link helped?
[09:51] <AustLaw> you do not have to reinstall windows if you dont want to dual boot anymore
[09:52] <hamdan> rechand no :(
[09:52] <Madpilot> AustLaw, it's really not needed - have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[09:52] <redhand> hamdan, hmm... what do you did?
[09:52] <redhand> *did you do
[09:52] <redhand> sorry for my english =/
[09:52] <m_0_r_0_n> What package do I have to install to get better fonts for websites?
[09:52] <fnozzke> its easy to find and install new programs in ubuntu?:)
[09:53] <redhand> m_0_r_0_n, copy TTF fonts from windows
[09:53] <fnozzke> opensource programs..
[09:53] <AndrukTatum> tjb: lol, actually, you could use a linux liveCD to remove linux, although the probablility of you wanting to remove linux, especially ubuntu and its derivatives, is extremely unlikely
[09:53] <chops-> anyone know how to fix this error open("/usr/share/locale/en.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/make.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[09:53] <m_0_r_0_n> I dont use windows
[09:53] <hamdan> the reason was some broken packges
[09:53] <Madpilot> m_0_r_0_n, you can get the MS TTF fonts if you think they're better (I don't, personally)
[09:54] <fyrestrtr> the core ms fonts are in repos
[09:54] <omnid> I can't even find where this program installed to
[09:54] <AustLaw> i have to say, ubuntu is very friendly to install and use starting out
[09:54] <eXistenZ> Madpilot, they're better, that's a fact.
[09:54] <m_0_r_0_n> Madpilot, fonts in monochrome style (no antialiasing) are boring
[09:54] <AustLaw> which is what turned me off to linux when i tried it several years ago
[09:54] <omnid> much less change it's properties so no one needs to be a superuser to use it
[09:54] <xhaan> i just got a second hard drive and made it primary and put windows on secondary drive... used the magical 'map' command in menu.lst and now it can boot xp from the second drive :0
[09:55] <fnozzke> its easy to find and install new programs in ubuntu compare with windows.. ?
[09:55] <AustLaw> tried debian 4 years ago, was rather intemidated by the huge ugly package installer during the install, the 6 CDs
[09:55] <fyrestrtr> !software
[09:55] <ubotu> You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, apt-cache, the "apt:/" URL in KDE, or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com  -  Ubuntu has about 18000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways!
[09:55] <AndrukTatum> fnozzke: absolutely, it is the easiest part of it
[09:55] <AustLaw> on top of that I was not able to get a gui working
[09:55] <m_0_r_0_n> How do you configure the gdm-themes. I ve installed a lot of gdm themes but cant find the manager to configure them
[09:56] <fnozzke> oki
[09:56] <AustLaw> ubuntu was not like that at all
[09:56] <Madpilot> m_0_r_0_n, System->Preferences->Themes
[09:56] <fyrestrtr> m_0_r_0_n: system > administration > login window
[09:56] <Madpilot> m_0_r_0_n, gah, sorry, what fyrestrtr for GDM stuff...
[09:56] <AndrukTatum> debian now has a network install CD - only one CD, and it installs all you want
[09:56] <AndrukTatum> although it was not a graphical installer...
[09:57] <m_0_r_0_n> fyrestrtr?
[09:57] <Kream> Madpilot: i just want to redirect the output of pwd to a file.
[09:57] <xhaan> i rather liked debian... though i picked ubuntu now because it seems to use more recent package versions
[09:57] <Kream> Madpilot: and since i'm in a directory where only root has write perms, i used sudo
[09:57] <fyrestrtr> Kream: pwd > somefile
[09:57] <AndrukTatum> outdated packages were the reason i switched to ubuntu
[09:57] <Kream> fyrestrtr: which works great in ~
[09:57] <glick> i really wish they would pick a new default color but other then that its a nice distro
[09:58] <AndrukTatum> amen glick
[09:58] <madman__> where are the screensaver images stored ?
[09:58] <sanddrag> is there anyone here who has installed XGL and Compiz?
[09:58] <fyrestrtr> sanddrag: sure
[09:58] <AustLaw> does anyone know how to customize the gnome "main toolbar" the one with "back, forward, up, etc" displayed at the top?
[09:58] <Kream> fyrestrtr: but if you go to, say, /usr/lib/openoffice/share/registry/schema/org/openoffice/Office and type pwd > file it won't do it. and neither will it do it if i use sudo
[09:59] <fyrestrtr> AustLaw: you mean nautlius? Just install a theme set.
[09:59] <eXistenZ> which is better gnome or kde
[09:59] <sanddrag> I installed xgl and compiz and when I select the XGL session and log in, I get an arrow on a brown screen for maybe 10 seconds, then a black screen for a second, then the round "busy" cursor on a brown screen for maybe 5 seconds, then it returns to the login screen
[09:59] <fyrestrtr> eXistenZ: better for what? use what you like.
[09:59] <sanddrag> any ideas whats wrong?"
[09:59] <Madpilot> sanddrag, #ubuntu-xgl
[09:59] <sanddrag> oh
[09:59] <fyrestrtr> sanddrag: that's xgl for ya :)
[10:00] <eXistenZ> fyrestrtr, I need simplistic, minimalistic theme.
[10:00] <eXistenZ> s/theme/interface
[10:00] <AustLaw> fyrestrtr: i guess there is no way to make them smaller within the current theme?
[10:00] <chops-> anyone know why ubuntu gives me that error ?
[10:01] <AustLaw> fyrestrtr: I like the style of them, they are just huge (they seem huge in many of the themes)
[10:01] <fyrestrtr> eXistenZ: you can turn off the toolbars, if that helps.
[10:02] <madman__> where are the screensaver images stored ?
[10:03] <Thlayli> is there still a problem with the update of the xserver-core?
[10:03] <m_0_r_0_n> How is it possible to repair incomplete installations. I tried to open Desktop->Administration->Login Window , but I get the message "Could no launch menu item: Failed to execute child process gdmsetup. No such file or directory"?
[10:04] <chops-> any idea how i can fix open("/usr/share/locale/en.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/make.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[10:04] <jazzrocker> system_username = "network username" <--- from the ubuntu wiki page on installing samba and setting up users, this is supposed to go into the /etc/samba/smbusers file but my question is: are both those parameters supposed to be interpreted? or just the first?
[10:05] <Thlayli> maybe a "$>sudo touch /usr/share/locale/en.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/make.mo" helps
[10:05] <Thlayli> but i doubt it
[10:05] <jazzrocker> is that a literal "network name" or is that supposed to be "bobjohnsonfoo"
[10:05] <chops-> daydream BBS won't compile
[10:05] <Samuli^> omnid, no, you need to change the permission of the executable. Try man chmod
[10:06] <omnid> man chmod?
[10:06] <omnid> Is that a program?
[10:06] <Samuli^> omnid, and keep it mind, I don't know if it works or not :)
[10:06] <Samuli^> omnid, you need to open terminal and type it there.
[10:06] <omnid> oh I see
[10:07] <mutk> omnid, First of all, check that the file "/usr/share/locale/en.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/make.mo" exists before chmoding it..
[10:07] <mutk> omnid, ls /usr/share/locale/en.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/make.mo
[10:07] <jazzrocker> anyone?
[10:07] <jazzrocker> mutk, know anything about samba?
[10:07] <mutk> omnid, BTW that is not necessarily an error - it is from strace right?
[10:07] <omnid> Nope
[10:07] <glick> drpython is a pretty cool ap
[10:07] <omnid> What
[10:08] <glick> hey does anyone or has anyone used tomboy?
[10:08] <omnid> Wait what are you talking about
[10:08] <mutk> jazzrocker, Less than I should and more than I want - to know :) .No expert.
[10:08] <omnid> I'm just trying to chmod a wifi program
[10:08] <jazzrocker> mutk, any idea where i could find the answer to my question?
[10:08] <omnid> what is make.mo?
[10:08] <chops-> that was meant for me
[10:08] <Samuli^> omnid, why do you want to change it's permissions?
[10:08] <mkquist> jazzrocker - just set up samba, might be some help.. works for me
[10:08] <omnid> So that the guest account can access wifi routers
[10:09] <omnid> They need to be a superuser to change network settings though
[10:09] <jazzrocker> mkquist, whaa? i don't follow
[10:09] <Samuli^> omnid, okay.
[10:09] <omnid> Yeah so I will try your command
[10:09] <mkquist> thought u needed assist w/samba
[10:09] <omnid> nope that's someone else
[10:09] <mkquist> if not nm
[10:09] <jazzrocker> mkquist, yes did you see my question?
[10:09] <chops-> so i am guessing ubuntu is not compatible with daydream BBS software due to that problem
[10:10] <mkquist> jazzrocker - yep
[10:10] <azathoth> what's the curent situation with aiglx in regards to nvidia cards? is it still better to stay with xgl?
[10:10] <jazzrocker> mkquist, right so... do you know anything about that?
[10:10] <mkquist> jazzrocker - a sec pls
[10:11] <omnid> chmod wifi-radar ...
[10:11] <omnid> Is that all I type?
[10:11] <madman93> test string :
[10:12] <madman93> can u see this string???
[10:12] <ekowalc> I am pretty new to Ubuntu. I have a package I installed with Synaptic network-manager and I cant seem to get it to show up on the toolbar. How do I do that?
[10:12] <richiefrich> madman93 if you are testing unicode
[10:12] <richiefrich> madman93  looks sexy
[10:12] <azathoth> madman93: i can, it looks korean
[10:12] <omnid> It's korean madman right
[10:12] <Madpilot> madman93, looks like it worked
[10:12] <Madpilot> !ko
[10:12] <ubotu> For Korean help, /join #ubuntu-ko
[10:12] <mneptok> ahoy users
[10:12] <madman93> umm.. ok thx
[10:13] <RMorris84> how do u like renew my ip?
[10:13] <richiefrich> o.O
[10:13] <chops-> any idea how i can fix this error when trying to compile daydream bbs / open("/usr/share/locale/en.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/make.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[10:13] <mneptok> RMorris84: huh?
[10:13] <SpComb> RMorris84: you mean DHCP?
[10:13] <richiefrich> RMorris84 what do u mwan
[10:14] <RMorris84> like the equiv. of ipconfig /release /renew in windows
[10:14] <mneptok> RMorris84: sudo dhclient $interface_name
[10:14] <richiefrich> RMorris84 why would you need too
[10:14] <mneptok> RMorris84: sudo dhclient eth0
[10:14] <mneptok> etc etc
[10:14] <richiefrich> that is if your using dhcp
[10:14] <BeepAU> could someone help me burn an audio cd with gnomebaker?
[10:14] <Samuli^> omnid, check the man chmod
[10:14] <SpComb> richiefrich: if you are playing around with your dhcpd config and want to test if it's getting the right settings...
[10:15] <mneptok> richiefrich: if he wasn't he wouldn;t be asking about a renewal of a DHCP lease ;)
[10:15] <jazzrocker> mkquist, got anything?
[10:15] <richiefrich> mneptok he nbever said dhcp
[10:15] <omnid> man = manual I guess then
[10:15] <omnid> !chmod > omnid
[10:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about chmod - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:15] <Samuli^> omnid, yeah. There's a manpage for pretty much everything.
[10:15] <mneptok> richiefrich: but he asked about renewal of a lease. that's doesn;t happen except with DHCP.
[10:15] <SpComb> richiefrich: "the equiv. of ipconfig /release /renew in windows"
[10:16] <richiefrich> not necessarily
[10:16] <SpComb> I think we can assume that he is using DHCP with 99% accuracy ^^
[10:16] <jazzrocker> where can i find that syntax
[10:16] <mneptok> richiefrich: what alternative do you suggest?
[10:16] <SpComb> BOOTP?
[10:16] <richiefrich> i can change my ip anytime
[10:16] <BeepAU> !cdcreator
[10:16] <richiefrich>  im all static
[10:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cdcreator - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:16] <ekowalc> Anyone help with getting a new installed package icon onto the desktop?
[10:16] <richiefrich> it's a one line thing
[10:17] <richiefrich> then a network restart
[10:17] <mneptok> ekowalc: A La Carte is your friend

[10:19] <kyja> I have had flash working corectly in previous installs of dapper. now I have it installed where it is broken. how can I fix this,
[10:20] <Madpilot> ekowalc, everything in add/remove apps will add itself to the menu; not everything available thru synaptic will
[10:20] <mneptok> kyja: how did you install it?
[10:20] <ekowalc> what I have done is installed Network-Manager-Gnome off of synaptic, and I cant find that icon.
[10:20] <kyja> this time I used easy ubuntu mneptok
[10:21] <mneptok> i *loathe* those scripts.
[10:21] <kyja> mneptok, I looked at synaptic and it looks ok. I should not have used the easyubuntu though.
[10:21] <mneptok> kyja: i agree, you should not have used it. :P

[10:31] <jman888_> Is there a way to list everything i have installed?
[10:32] <backz> do u install TTF fonts on ubuntu?
 you can use synaptic, look at custom listing
[10:33] <jman888_> Is there  a way in terminal(My Pc hates synpatic)
[10:33] <madman93>
[10:33] <mneptok> jman888_: ls -l /var/cache/apt/archive
[10:34] <ekowalc> how do I add a command to run at startup?
[10:35] <sol> hello?
[10:35] <hockyhair> hello
[10:36] <BeepAU> ok, i tried burning a audio cd with gnomebaker and got this error - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22127 , can anyone help me?
[10:36] <Madpilot> backz, in the file manager, hit Ctrl+H, find .fonts, drop your ttf files in there. done.
[10:36] <hockyhair> i am wondering what the cmd is to change the computers name
[10:36] <jman888_> mneptok, ls: /var/cache/apt/archive: No such file or directory
[10:36] <kyja> request. can someone send a fresh /etc/apt/sources.list file to me please.
[10:36] <backz> Madpilot, msttcorefonts is a good way to do it?
[10:37] <Madpilot> backz, yes, if all you want is MS's fonts. To add anything else, do the .fonts thing
[10:37] <mneptok> jman888_: ls -l /var/cache/apt/archives
[10:37] <ekowalc> how do I add a command to run at startup?
[10:37] <mneptok> hockyhair: hostname
[10:38] <mneptok> hockyhair: don't forget to chnage /etc/hosts as well
[10:38] <mneptok> (or sudo will hate you)
[10:39] <backz> Madpilot, because I look it on dark background, and when TTF font is small... I can't see it correctly... antialiase I think. do you have problems with TTF fonts on dark background?
[10:39] <Madpilot> backz, depends on the font
[10:39] <hockyhair> ty mneptok
[10:40] <backz> Madpilot, arial, verdana... most used on webpages
[10:40] <hockyhair> now my only other question is how to enable identd.. i've installed oidentd, but it doesn't seem to be working.
[10:40] <Madpilot> backz, never noticed much of a problem, and I don't use MS's fonts, only the Ubuntu default ones
[10:40] <TLE> BeepAU: Try to unmount the cd before you open gnomebaker type: unmount /dev/sg0
[10:41] <Madpilot> backz, of course, I do use Opera instead of Firefox, and Opera has better text rendering than FF...
[10:41] <backz> Madpilot, ubuntu default ones is so strange =P
[10:41] <TLE> BeepAU: It sounds like this bug https://launchpad.net/distros/debian/+bug/30558
[10:41] <ekowalc> how do I add a command to run at startup?
[10:41] <mneptok> backz: they're only "strange" because the only fonts you know came right from the Redmond Kool-Aid dispenser. ;)
[10:41] <backz> mneptok, jajajaja =)
[10:42] <BeepAU> TLE -- I don't think sg0 is even what my burner is, whats the command to list devices?
[10:42] <irawan> jman888_; /var/cache/apt/archives is the place you of the downloaded .deb files
[10:42] <mneptok> ls /dev
[10:42] <irawan> jman888_: they are not necessarily installed
[10:42] <mneptok> BeepAU: is it IDE?
[10:42] <jman888_> iratsu, But i already did apt-get clean a few days ago.
[10:43] <jman888_> Im readying my computor to be reset. Im running out of space.
[10:43] <ompaul> !away > JustGaming
[10:43] <BeepAU> mneptok -- what's IDE? the device is usb.
[10:43] <TLE> BeepAU: did you see mneptok's comments about ls /dev/
[10:43] <mneptok> ok, smoke break
[10:44] <TLE> I have no idea how USB a USB-burner would be named
[10:44] <BeepAU> TLE -- no i didn't, but i've entered it now. ALOT of information comes up.
[10:45] <TLE> yeah try ls /dev/|grep sg
[10:45] <thundr> what's the command for changing the xorg driver?
[10:45] <ekowalc> Anyone know how to add a command to run at startup? I want to automatically bring up my WAP connection, instead of having to command line it everytime
[10:45] <xerxas> is it possible to install ubuntu from network or floppies ?
[10:46] <BeepAU> TLE -- it listed kmsg, sg0 and sg1
[10:46] <TLE> ekowalc: Open sessions in the adminestration part of the menu
[10:46] <caverdude> how is ubunto better than Mandriva?
[10:46] <caverdude> anyone?
[10:47] <Madpilot> caverdude, it's brown and has a cooler name.
[10:47] <TLE> caverdude: The friendly community ;)
[10:47] <BeepAU> TLE -- so, what to do now?
[10:48] <ekowalc> And just add the command into a new session?
[10:48] <mneptok> ekowalc: WPA or WEP?
[10:48] <ekowalc> WPA
[10:49] <TLE> BeepAU: Og right, well then we know that it is a device, perhaps it is the burner. Try to: "unmunt /dev/sg0" before opening gnomebaker
[10:49] <z\> WPA2 radius.
[10:49] <z\> rls
[10:49] <caverdude> heh
[10:49] <mneptok> ekowalc: you'll want to look at /etc/network/inteerfaces, /etc/wpa_supplicant, and a couple other files.
[10:49] <TLE> BeepAU: sorry unmount /dev/sg0
[10:49] <z\> :)
[10:49] <DJAdmiral> Hello people! I feel like helping somebody on the ubuntu channel today :)
[10:49] <caverdude> ubuntu sounds like a martial art of some kind
[10:49] <BeepAU> TLE -- in that link, it claims it was fixed in the version i'm using. i'll unmount the drive.
[10:49] <caverdude> mandriva sounds like a drug
[10:50] <mneptok> "caverdude" sounds like someone covered with thick body fur who can't speak, and only grunts. so there we are.
[10:50] <mutk> caverdude, And Fedora sounds like a hat
[10:50] <ekowalc> I have it running, I just have to manually wpa_supplicant everytime I reboot
[10:50] <caverdude> hehe
[10:50] <BeepAU> TLE -- 'bash: unmount: command not found'
[10:50] <z\> hhahaha
[10:50] <DJAdmiral> caverdude, mutk, mneptok: funny
[10:50] <caverdude> is Red hat dead?
[10:50] <DJAdmiral> BeepAU: the command is umount, not unmount
[10:50] <mneptok> ekowalc: you'll want to look at /etc/network/inteerfaces, /etc/wpa_supplicant, and a couple other files.
[10:50] <mutk> caverdude, Certainly not. Keep up the troll though
[10:50] <AndrukTatum> does the graphical install of ubuntu automatically install your wireless card?
[10:51] <Madpilot> caverdude, perhaps it's just pining for the fiords
[10:51] <TLE> BeepAU: oh didn't read that far, but it is a Debian bug, perhaps it fell through the import into Ubuntu :: damn can't spell comands rigth
[10:51] <DJAdmiral> caverdude: not sure - but I still have my Fedora Core DVD with my Fedora Core for Dummies book :P
[10:51] <BeepAU> DJAdmiral -- thankyou.
[10:51] <DJAdmiral> BeepAU: No problemo!
[10:51] <BeepAU> TLE -- 'umount: /dev/sg0: not mounted'
[10:51] <DJAdmiral> AndrukTatum: Depends on your connection kind
[10:52] <BeepAU> i like VMWare
[10:52] <TLE> BeepAU: Ok if you have a cd in the drive try to burn it now
[10:52] <AndrukTatum> right now ive got an eth0 that is active, and an ath0 connection that is active, and i can see ESSIDs, so its working, right?
[10:52] <TLE> caverdude: Some claim that the packaging system .deb is better than .rpm
[10:52] <mneptok> DJAdmiral: i wouldn;t be bothering with it except VMWare wants an image file from us.
[10:52] <caverdude> ah I see redhat became fedora
[10:53] <DJAdmiral> mneptok: what kind of image file do you need?
[10:53] <BeepAU> TLE -- ok, i've started it.
[10:53] <mneptok> DJAdmiral: building an Ubuntu desktop image for them.
[10:53] <AndrukTatum> how do i install java or a java equivalent for firefox?
[10:54] <thundr> TLE, I'm one of them.  No dependancy problems vs. chaos with RPM.
[10:54] <DJAdmiral> !java
[10:54] <ubotu> java is an object oriented programming language. To install a java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the Multiverse repository
[10:55] <BeepAU> TLE -- it failed again. same output.
[10:55] <AndrukTatum> k, thx
[10:56] <TLE> BeepAU: damn whats the output of: cdrecord-scanbus
[10:57] <BeepAU> TLE -- 'cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root.' that's all it mentions of cdrecord -scanbus
[10:57] <TLE> BeepAU: right: sudo cdrecord-scanbus
[10:58] <TLE> BeepAU: I meant try to type in the command so we can figure out what the name of your burner is
[10:59] <BeepAU> TLE -- http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22129
[11:00] <DJAdmiral> !canonical > DJAdmiral
 try 'dpkg -l'
 see http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/apt-get-intro.html#LISTING
[11:02] <TLE> ok could you paste the output of: "cat /etc/fstab" also
[11:04] <kris> could anyone give me a link which explains how I getthe wpa-psk encryption to work?
[11:06] <TLE> BeepAU: ok could you paste the output of: "cat /etc/fstab" also
[11:07] <BeepAU> TLE -- http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22130
[11:07] <TLE> BeepAU: do you have more than one optical drive in your computer ?
[11:08] <DeeTahPanLtah> i can't access kubuntu.org repositories,it says it has no public key. what's their public key? ( i know how to add it to my trusted keys)
[11:08] <BeepAU> TLE -- yes. i have an internal dvd reader/cd burner and an external dvd burner/cd burner
[11:10] <DJAdmiral> is it just me or is anyone else having trouble booting up Puzzle Pirates?
[11:10] <Phreakys> hi
[11:11] <TLE> BeepAU: Ok I can't raelly figure out what the device names are, could you try to look for in Gnomebaker for settings about selecting the burner, and see it is possibly set to something wrong?
[11:11] <Phreakys> im trying to get the fontpaths from xorg.conf in my xgl startup parameters
[11:11] <DJAdmiral> Java works on my system and in firefox just fine but Puzzle Pirates doesn't boot
[11:11] <Phreakys> can someone explain to me this: ?
[11:11] <Phreakys> grep -i fontpath /etc/X11/xorg.conf | egrep -v "[:space:] *#" | sed "s/.\+\"\(.\+\)\"/\1,/g" | xargs echo | sed "s/\ //g" | sed "s/,\$//"
[11:11] <Phreakys> is fontpath a string or?
[11:12] <DJAdmiral> Phreakys: basically the first command is what's important
[11:12] <TLE> I'll be away for 20 min
[11:12] <DJAdmiral> Phreakys: grep searches for words within files
[11:12] <DJAdmiral> Phreakys: so look for the word 'fontpath' in your xorg.conf and hopefully you should be able to get something.

[11:22] <arn1> DJAdmiral : I don't have this password!!
[11:23] <tjb> I'm using a Ubuntu Live CD on my laptop.  I can't quite set the sensitivity of my trackpad very high.  Any ideas of how to do this?  I've used the settings panel to set both settings (sensitivity and acceleration) to the max, but it's still not enough.
[11:24] <DJAdmiral> arn1: i'm logged in as arnaud - i'll upload a gif image now
[11:24] <Anubuntu> how do I change the bootup mount points?
[11:24] <arn1> ok
[11:24] <DJAdmiral> arn1: gif image successfully uploaded - it's called tux.gif
[11:24] <Anubuntu> and how do I tell ubuntu which partitions to use as swap (had to edit the partition table, now its using the wrong partition)
[11:24] <DJAdmiral> i'm closing connection with your ftp server
[11:25] <DJAdmiral> arn1: can you see tux.gif?
[11:25] <arn1> DJAdmiral: thanks very much for your help it works!
[11:26] <mneptok> Anubuntu: /etc/fstab

[11:26] <DJAdmiral> arn1: no problemo!
[11:26] <trygg> I can see them both in lspci
[11:26] <DJAdmiral> Phreakys: back to you
 look at your /etc/fstab, edit and change the swap to correct partition
[11:27] <DeeTahPanLtah> damnit,i have untypical problem
[11:27] <DeeTahPanLtah> my mate has totally messed up his ubuntu
[11:27] <DeeTahPanLtah> and he needs it to reinstalled
[11:27] <mkquist_> trygg - try this page.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449
[11:27] <DeeTahPanLtah> he has windows working find,so he can download newest ubuntu image
[11:28] <DeeTahPanLtah> last one he installed from 5.10 cd but it's waay too old
[11:28] <DeeTahPanLtah> he has grub working,is there some way to make it boot virtual CD/
[11:29] <Phreakys> ah
[11:29] <Phreakys> DJadmiral, do you know how to append grepped output to a parameter line?
[11:29] <DeeTahPanLtah> ...is there?
[11:29] <Phreakys> Xgl :1 -ac -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv -fp /usr/share/fonts/misc,/usr/share/fonts/other_fonts
[11:30] <Phreakys> this is the normal parameter
[11:30] <DJAdmiral> Phreakys: that would require piping i think
[11:30] <Phreakys> but instead of the dirs i would like to have a grep command there
[11:30] <tjb> DeeTahPanLtah: What is a 'virtual CD'?
[11:30] <Phreakys> someone told me it requires subshell or something
[11:30] <DeeTahPanLtah> i mean
[11:30] <DeeTahPanLtah> he may download ubuntu cd
[11:30] <DeeTahPanLtah> on a windows ntfs partition
[11:30] <DJAdmiral> DeeTahPanLtah: as in an ISO?
[11:30] <DeeTahPanLtah> and even mount it
[11:30] <DeeTahPanLtah> the problem is how to boot it?
[11:31] <DeeTahPanLtah> he has access only to tty,xserv's messed up
[11:31] <DJAdmiral> Phreakys: not sure.
[11:31] <mneptok> DeeTahPanLtah: burn the .iso and boot off it
[11:31] <DeeTahPanLtah> there is no cd recorder ;'<
[11:31] <DJAdmiral> ShipIt? lol
[11:31] <DeeTahPanLtah> yeah,and wait 6 weeks?
[11:31] <Phreakys> tnx dj, you'
[11:31] <Phreakys> r right
[11:31] <mneptok> you could download VMWare player and use it to boot the .iso file in a virtual session ...
[11:32] <Phreakys> found something about piping output in shell
 can he connect to the net using current ubuntu?
[11:32] <tjb> DeeTahPanLtah: Can't he just use the old CD again?
[11:32] <DeeTahPanLtah> last time it was his friend who installed it
[11:32] <DeeTahPanLtah> i'm afraid he'll faster clear his partition table than install it in old installer
[11:33] <DeeTahPanLtah> i myself found it quite...complicated to use it
[11:33] <mneptok> DeeTahPanLtah: he could install off the old CD and then do a net upgrade to Dapper
[11:33] <DeeTahPanLtah> rather not
[11:33] <DeeTahPanLtah> no way to boot it but the vmware?
[11:34] <tjb> DeeTahPanLtah: Could he go out and buy a CD (or a magazine carrying a CD perhaps)?
 well, I guess if you can download the iso and burn a cd, you can give it to him :)
[11:34] <irawan> DeeTahPanLtah: tjb maybe right too
[11:34] <DeeTahPanLtah> damnit,no other,free ways?

[11:36] <Madpilot> Dorraj, it helps if you actually ask a question...
[11:36] <DJAdmiral> DorraJ: and please do mind your language
[11:36] <tjb> Anyone using Ubuntu on a laptop?
[11:36] <DJAdmiral> tjb: me
[11:36] <trygg> mkquist_: I followed your guide, but my 'cat /proc/asound/modules' shows snd_via82xx, not snd-via82xx like in all the guides, what should i write in the files, what i get right?
[11:36] <tjb> DJAdmiral: How do you change the sensitivity?
[11:36] <tjb> (of the trackpad)
[11:37] <DJAdmiral> tjb: one sec
[11:37] <Dorraj> well i was waiting for someone to say, yeh ill help you
[11:37] <Dorraj> otherwise i could just sithere and talk to myself
[11:37] <Dorraj> and i dont want that
[11:37] <DeeTahPanLtah> or a bit diffirent question...
[11:37] <mkquist_> trygg - not 'my' guide...lol   I just had success with it
[11:37] <tjb> Dorraj: People won't want to do that because if they say they will and then are unable to, they look stupid.  :)
[11:37] <DeeTahPanLtah> where is kernel of ubuntu cd stored?
[11:37] <tjb> Dorraj: Thus you really should just ask
[11:37] <Dorraj> lol
[11:38] <trygg> mkquist_: Yeh i know, i didnt know who else to adress the question to. :)
[11:38] <Dorraj> ok
[11:38] <DJAdmiral> Dorraj: get to the point lol
[11:38] <mkquist_> but u should be able to edit
[11:38] <Dorraj> i wanted to install the "ghoti" irc client
[11:38] <Dorraj> and got stuck
[11:38] <Dorraj> didnt know what to do
[11:38] <DJAdmiral> tjb: i'm looking through that
[11:38] <tjb> DJAdmiral: Thanks.
[11:38] <Dorraj> i would prefer to use that
 burn the iso using cdrecord
[11:38] <DJAdmiral> Dorraj: try this command 'sudo apt-get install ghoti'
[11:38] <Dorraj> but atm im using xchat until i can get ghoti
[11:38] <DJAdmiral> !info ghoti
[11:38] <ubotu> Package ghoti does not exist in any distro I know
[11:38] <DeeTahPanLtah> irawan: he has no writer...
 cdrecord dev=/dev/cdrom driveropts=burnfree -v -data cd_image.iso
[11:38] <irawan> DeeTahPanLtah: oh, sorry
[11:39] <DJAdmiral> Dorraj: no wait - trash that. lemme find something
[11:39] <irawan> DeeTahPanLtah: well, go burn it for him or let him buy one I suppose
[11:39] <mkquist_> trygg-lemme looks see what i might come up with
[11:39] <mkquist_> trygg - hold on a mo
[11:40] <DJAdmiral> tjb: system -> preferences -> mouse -> motion tab and try tinkering with all sliders?
[11:40] <DJAdmiral> Dorraj: okay let me find where this 'ghoti' is first
[11:40] <Dorraj> ok
[11:40] <Dorraj> well i can give u a url if you want
[11:40] <rodelrod> hi there. I had to tweek a kernel a bit to make it work with a Compaq Proliant server and I wonder: 1. Is there any difference between the kernel as installed by Debian and Ubuntu?
[11:40] <tjb> DJAdmiral: Yeah, I've tried that, but it seems to make no difference (or perhaps very little difference).
[11:41] <Dorraj> http://www.tucows.com/preview/346103
[11:41] <rodelrod> 2. Is there a way to create an CD image of ubuntu with a custom kernel?
[11:41] <Dorraj> thats the ghoti dowload
[11:41] <Dorraj> it seems as there is no easy way to install stuff on linux
[11:41] <rambo3> rodelrod, kernel is a kernel , it just configs that can differ
[11:41] <Dorraj> im so used to windows
[11:41] <DJAdmiral> tjb: probably cause you're on the live cd
[11:41] <Dorraj> though i really want to beable to get good at using linux
[11:41] <tjb> DJAdmiral: Ah.
[11:42] <tjb> My \ key acts the same as <.  Is that another Live CD problem?
[11:42] <tjb> (i.e. if I press \, it inserts <)
[11:42] <rodelrod> rambo3: do you happen to know if the configs are any different between Debian Etch and Ubuntu?
[11:42] <DJAdmiral> tjb: things get to go real slow on the live cd and some variables may not adjust immediately. or ever :\
[11:42] <tjb> If I press <, it inserts < as well.
[11:42] <tjb> DJAdmiral: Acknowledged.
[11:42] <DJAdmiral> Dorraj: i'm looking at that link
[11:42] <tjb> I'm impressed by how fast it is though, for a Live CD.  (I was expecting extreme slow speeds.)
[11:42] <larsemil> how do i install a program that depends on libc6 version 2.3.6-6 or higher when the system uses 2.3.6-ubuntu20
[11:43] <Dorraj> djadmeral: ok
[11:43] <DJAdmiral> tjb: maybe keyboard issues? could be that the live cd detected a wrong keyboard
[11:43] <rambo3> rodelrod, you could ask someone with etch for their /boot/config2.6* and compare it to yours and see whats diffrent
[11:43] <rambo3> i realy dont know much more about etch, i parted from debian last year .
[11:43] <DJBlits> i got an game woth .dll files | can i play the game, or there come bugs?
[11:44] <tjb> Changing keyboard doesn't work unfortunately.
[11:44] <DJAdmiral> tjb: the ubuntu desktop on thoust hard disketh itself will bloweth thou away
[11:44] <tjb> If I do \ I get < and if I do Shift+\ I get >.
[11:44] <tjb> hehe
[11:44] <DJAdmiral> tjb: how are you able to put the slashes here on IRC though?!
[11:45] <tjb> I'm on my desktop here.
[11:45] <tjb> (Windows)
[11:45] <DJAdmiral> Dorraj: are you registered on this IRC server?
[11:45] <DJAdmiral> tjb: I mean ubuntu installed on a hard disk
[11:45] <tjb> The thing running Ubuntu is my laptop sitting beside me.
[11:45] <DJBlits> is there an program to use .dll files in linux, so i can play me game
[11:45] <Dorraj> nope
[11:45] <rodelrod> rambo3: thanks. If that's all that might differ I'll diff them.
[11:45] <Dorraj> just came here to seek help
[11:45] <Dorraj> im from irc.netgamers.org
[11:45] <tjb> DJAdmiral: Yeah.  It probably would blow me away.

[11:46] <BeepAU> TLE -- i waited for you to come back. did you checkout that pastebin i sent?
[11:46] <DJBlits> but
[11:46] <Dorraj> what irc client do most of you guys use?
[11:46] <DJBlits> if i use wine
[11:47] <Madpilot> Dorraj, XChat
[11:47] <DJAdmiral> Dorraj: if you register on the IRC server then I can help you over private messaging
[11:47] <DJBlits> me program dont start 100%
[11:47] <DJAdmiral> Dorraj: I use GAIM
[11:47] <Dorraj> ok
[11:47] <Dorraj> well if i cant get ghoti
[11:47] <Dorraj> i can use xchat
[11:47] <Dorraj> but i need to know 2 things
[11:47] <DJAdmiral> DJBlits: then try Cedega. or use VMWare or QEMU
[11:47] <rodelrod> Anyone knows if it is possible to build a ubuntu CD installer with a custom kernel?
[11:47] <Dorraj> how to make a perform list so it logs into bots and stuff on connect
[11:47] <DJAdmiral> Dorraj: you can get ghoti - just register with the IRC server and message me and I'll walk you through
[11:48] <Dorraj> and how to make me auto join channels when im invited
[11:48] <Dorraj> how do i reg to this server
[11:48] <DJBlits> to open it,  want know i sure or ar cedage or vmware or qemu programs
[11:48] <TLE> BeepAU: Yeah I looked at it, but couldn't figure it out, can you try to run gnomebaker as root'

[11:48] <rambo3> good thing is that edgy has spell check in x-chat
[11:49] <BeepAU> TLE -- i'll try.
[11:50] <tjb> What are some cool Linux tricks I can try (particularly on the command line)?  I'm pretty new to Linux still.
[11:50] <mkquist_> tjb - so no success w/the sound?
[11:50] <tjb> mkquist_: Sound?  Are you thinking of someone else?
[11:50] <DJBlits> wine ane .exe [rpgra,,
[11:50] <DJBlits> byue
[11:50] <tjb> mkquist_: My only query has been about changing the sensitivity of the trackpad.
[11:50] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell tjb about cli
[11:51] <BeepAU> tjb -- 'gksudo nautilus' lets you browse as root, be very careful though.
[11:51] <Madpilot> tjb, check the URL the bot just sent you, good basic intro to the command line stuff, and links to more tutorials & such
[11:51] <tjb> Madpilot: Thanks.
[11:51] <BeepAU> TLE -- it's working. :)
[11:51] <mkquist_> tjb -sry wrong person..lol
[11:51] <tjb> mkquist: hehe.  np
[11:52] <BeepAU> !cli
[11:52] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via applications -> accessories -> terminal (gnome) or kmenu -> system -> konsole (kde). Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[11:52] <mkquist_> trygg - no sound?

[11:54] <DeeTahPa1Ltah> sorry,i got disconnected. anyone responded me?
[11:54] <TLE> BeepAU: yeah but that's not a good fix, since it isn't supposed to be running as root
[11:55] <tjb> Is there something I could change in a config file to change my trackpad's sensitivity?
[11:55] <DJAdmiral-brb> tjv
[11:55] <DJAdmiral-brb> tjb
[11:55] <DJAdmiral-brb> sorry was brbing

[11:55] <DJAdmiral-brb> tjb: this might be useful for you: www.LinuxSurvival.com
[11:55] <TLE> Maybe someone else can help us, why would BeepAU only be able to burn cd's when he opens gnomebaker as root ?
[11:56] <rambo3> is there a specific group that has burning priority ?
[11:56] <tjb> Ah cool.
[11:57] <TLE> rambo3: how would we check that
[11:57] <rambo3> BeepAU, can you check under System -> Administration -> Users and groups
[11:57] <rambo3> the mark your self and press properties
[11:58] <TLE> Ok I'll back off
[11:59] <mcdoil> salut

[12:06] <rambo3> see under user previlages that you are marked there
[12:06] <mabus> Is xubuntu essentially the same as ubuntu but with xcfe?
[12:07] <erUSUL> mabus: yes
[12:07] <DJAdmiral-brb> mabus: It's also quite a bit faster than ubuntu. It's meant for low end machines.
[12:07] <mabus> I have a pretty fast machine but I am used to fluxbox and I don't like gnome... so would xubuntu be the best option or should I do a server install and then install flux?
[12:08] <rambo3> BeepAU, did you mark cdrom ?
[12:08] <DJAdmiral-brb> let me clarify something: is fluxbox a window manager?
[12:08] <Lobster> yes
[12:09] <erUSUL> mabus: it's really up to you i guess...
[12:09] <ompaul> DJAdmiral-brb, it is, however it is a real one unlike KDE and GNOME and the symantics of that are that it calls X as opposed to its own layer
[12:09] <ompaul> more or less
[12:09] <DJAdmiral-brb> mabus: in that case you could try that server install thing if you wish but I dunno how fluxbox works with ubuntu and if it has all details beforehand
[12:09] <larsemil> anyone got sidebuttons working? followed like ten guides but none makes my sidebuttons work.
[12:09] <mabus> Well will it be as simple as apt-get install fluxbox?
[12:09] <BeepAU> rambo3 -- in the User privileges? Use CD-ROM Drives is selected
[12:09] <ompaul> mabus, if you want fluxubuntu drop into #fluxubuntu
[12:10] <mabus> There is a fluxbuntu? news to me
[12:10] <ompaul> sorry
[12:10] <ompaul> there let me find the channel name
[12:10] <mabus> thanks
[12:10] <ompaul> that is wrong
[12:10] <mabus> oh ok
[12:10] <rambo3> BeepAU, can you paste output of  : ls /dev/hdc -l
[12:11] <mkquist> anyone here running corel 9 for linux?
[12:11] <ompaul> mabus, there is a #flubuntu but there is nobody there at the moment
[12:11] <mkquist> hope thats not too offtopic
[12:11] <Dimensions> any one knows how to disconnect a GPRS connection established via cell fone ?
[12:12] <BeepAU> rambo3 -- ls: /dev/hdc: No such file or directory
[12:12] <mabus> ompaul: okay well.. where do I download it? fluxubuntu doesn't have very relevant google results
[12:12] <DJAdmiral> mkquist: not offtopic at all - however i don't think anybody has corel 9 for linux here :S
[12:12] <simon__> Hi *
[12:12] <mabus> ompaul: is it flubuntu or fluxbuntu or something, maybe?
[12:12] <ompaul> mabus, here is one project http://www.fluxbuntu.org/
[12:12] <rambo3> BeepAU, can you paste output of  : ls /dev/hdd -l
[12:12] <DJAdmiral> simon__: Hello!
[12:13] <mkquist> couldnt find chanel for corel
[12:13] <mneptok> mabus: fluxbox is in the apt repos

[12:13] <ubotu> fluxbox: Highly configurable and low resource X11 Window manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.14-2 (dapper), package size 720 kB, installed size 2288 kB
[12:13] <BeepAU> rambo3 -- ls: /dev/hdd: No such file or directory
[12:14] <DJAdmiral> mabus: in that case you could do a server install, enable universe and multiverse repos, and then sudo apt-get install fluxbox
[12:15] <DJAdmiral> mabus: source-o-matic should help you out with generating an appropriate sources.list with universe and multiverse repos enabled
[12:15] <Shadow_pillar> HOT DAMN
[12:15] <ompaul> mabus, and you could choose xdm or gdm just to give you some control over the login
[12:15] <DJAdmiral> !easysource
[12:15] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[12:15] <rambo3> BeepAU, where is you cdrom  then  , use pastebin and post /etc/fstab

[12:15] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[12:15] <simon__> I'd like to do my own live cd that works on as many configuration as the ubuntu live cd does. :) Now I have a problem in writing a good script for a matching xorg config.

[12:16] <DJAdmiral> [TGV] Dorraj: hey there

[12:24] <m_0_r_0_n> like wurst, kindergarten, autobahn, ...

[12:25] <Lobster> DJBlits yeah some
[12:25] <Lobster> but its difficult
[12:26] <DJBlits> Lobster and how?
[12:26] <jazzrocker> depends on the game how difficult.
[12:26] <Lobster> using an emulator
[12:26] <jrib> DJBlits: try wine and cedega
[12:26] <jazzrocker> DJBlits, usually through wine, usually with cedega
[12:26] <BeepAU> rambo3 -- i don't have any discs to test it on. i'm sure it's good though. thanks for your help.
[12:26] <Lobster> like wine and cedega
[12:26] <tjb> Well, this is the first time I've tried Linux in about three years (last time -- the only time -- was Mandrake;  this time, an Ubuntu Live CD) and I can say that I'm impressed.  Things seem to have become much easier, and better.
[12:26] <m_0_r_0_n> Lobster, and Linuxbierwanderung :-)
[12:26] <DJBlits> cedega is money :P
[12:26] <Lobster> look for cvscedega, its free, and look for a how-to
[12:26] <tjb> Configuring this system is child's play.
[12:26] <DJBlits> jazzrocker is that free?
[12:26] <DeeTahPanLtah> DJBlits: mate,we've got a lots of native games
[12:26] <Lobster> cvscedega is free
[12:27] <DeeTahPanLtah> !games > DJBlits
[12:27] <Lobster> you have to pay only for the binarys by transgaming
[12:27] <Viper12> cvscedega is a few revs behind the paid version.  just fyi.  > loyal cedega user....EVE ONLINE is why.
