[02:35] <zach_> this may sound far fetched, but is there anything i can run to act as a media center extender, ie for windows MCE?
[02:35] <poningru> chas3d1: it should automagically detect it
[02:35] <poningru> and run
[02:35] <michael117> pluma: No, probably not but maybe with your /boot partition
[02:35] <eternaljoy> how can I use TurboCache on my NVidia 7300?
[02:35] <Drathorin> Oh, Thanks Zach :) I didn't know
[02:35] <pluma> I don't have a seperate /boot partition.
[02:35] <poningru> zach_: yes take a look at the linuxmce project
[02:35] <nekomancer> Drathorin, i'm sorry, i have to go...  very sorry
[02:35] <sgtmattbaker> what IRC channel can I go to for hardware support
[02:35] <poningru> they have couple of scripts that do that
[02:35] <Drathorin> That's okay neko, Thanks anyways
[02:35] <Madpilot> sgtmattbaker, this one, for starters
[02:36] <chas3d1> poningru: ok excellent
[02:36] <Drathorin> Is anyone. . else free to perhaps give me a hand?
[02:36] <bizongo> Poweredge with Broadcom Netextreme Ethernet, appears to have network connectivity...responds to pings but not http or ftp
[02:36] <poningru> Drathorin: sorry whats your problem?
[02:36] <sgtmattbaker> Madpilot: even if it isn't related to Linux?
[02:36] <pluma> I'm just trying to find out why I get that "INIT: No inittab file found" error and the consecutive death.
[02:36] <chori> Anyone good at bluetooth? I want to make my ubuntu-machine to act like bluetooth-speakers. Is it possible?
[02:36] <zach_> poningru: sweet, thanks
[02:36] <Madpilot> sgtmattbaker, maybe.  A friend of mine changed where it's located in the grub boot menu, and the fstab. So I'm in my live CDs currently, trying to mount the drive. . Doesn't seem to though.
[02:37] <addams> is wine hard to use? I install it, and I can't see it?
[02:37] <michael117> Has anyone figured out how to get java (more specifically jdk 1.6 and jre 1.6) to work with beryl? I have tried the java thing on their wiki and it doesn't seem to follow through and work
[02:37] <colbert> Can someone help, I have just rebooted after mounting network shares using samba and I am getting "could not resolve mount point /media/jaycdrive" errors
[02:37] <r4nge> where is the line that states your "Last login: ..." called from?
[02:37] <addams> do I have to defrag this hard drive on linux?
[02:37] <Nullbyte> addams, wine is eeasy
[02:37] <Madpilot> manton2007, restart X - Ctrl+Alt+Backspace will restart X (and all your apps)
[02:37] <shmeelAway> if i'm connecing another moniter to my laptop using VGA connection, what software o you suggest i use?
[02:37] <manton2007> madpilot, ok
[02:37] <sgtmattbaker> Madpilot: my PC froze at the startup BIOS screen on booting up this morning
[02:37] <addams> null: yeah, but it isn't showing up in my program list, is that normal?
[02:37] <poningru> Drathorin: ok go into a terminal with applications->accessories->terminal
[02:38] <michael117> addams: No need to ever defrag, and wine is not a program exactly... type wine thefile.exe to launch the exe
[02:38] <eV64> poningru, do i need a reboot after bcm43xx-fwcutter?  also, is there a better network device manager?
[02:38] <Nullbyte> yes addams, it has no gui at all
[02:38] <chas3d1> poningru: should I go to feisty?
[02:38] <Drathorin> Poningru - *Nod nod* I have one open. What next?
[02:38] <Nullbyte> you just open the exe files in wine
[02:38] <addams> oh, i see
[02:38] <poningru> chas3d1: its pretty stable right now but you might get random bugs
[02:38] <michael117> addams: you might be interested in cedega if you want to play games and it comes with a nice GUI but it will cost some money :(
[02:38] <addams> Nullbyte: with wine I just want to run notetabpro
[02:38] <poningru> chas3d1: so if this computer isnt absolutely necessary I would put feisty on it
[02:39] <AndrewWilliams> i've just starting using cedega, well worth the 3/pm :)
[02:39] <poningru> eV64: yes
[02:39] <Berzerke1> I'm having a peculiar problem.
[02:39] <alex_mayorga> hi, can somebody help me to get a Xircom CEM56 pcmcia card working on my laptop?
[02:39] <poningru> eV64: yes on both questions, the really good one is network-manager
[02:39] <Nullbyte> addams: Then download and install that, then open it and write wine when it asks you what program to use it in
[02:39] <Berzerke1> Someone who wants to help me needs to be able to listen to a long story. :P
[02:39] <poningru> Drathorin: sorry ok now run 'mkdir oldstuff'
[02:39] <addams> one last qeustion: My cursor looks weird in ubuntu and blinks weird, is that bad?
[02:39] <Drathorin> Done
[02:40] <michael117> addams: I would suggest checking if there is a similar linux app for the program first because wine isn't always great
[02:40] <fghj_> what's the best way to isntall drivers for ati 1900x under ubuntu ?
[02:40] <michael117> fghj_: apt-get install fglrx
[02:40] <alex_mayorga> fghj_, my guess is the included api driver
[02:40] <slestak> anyone use dnsmasq for a dhcp server as well as dns caching?
[02:40] <alex_mayorga> fghj_, my guess is the included ati driver
[02:40] <michael117> not the included ati driver, it sucks
[02:40] <poningru> Drathorin: run 'sudo mount /dev/xxx oldstuff' where xxx is the name of your hard drive under /dev, the simplest way to find this name is to type in 'mount /dev/h' and pressing tab couple of times
[02:41] <alex_mayorga> my bad
[02:41] <poningru> Drathorin: let me know if that didnt make sense
[02:41] <poningru> Drathorin: err I forgot the partition number
[02:41] <sgtmattbaker> my PC froze at the BIOS screen
[02:41] <moparfan90> i want to put a ATI video card in my system running 7.04.... how should i go about this
[02:41] <anggarda> hiello #ubuntu, what is the latest stable release of ubuntu? I'm on digg and some article mentions Feisty 7.04? There is no such release right?
[02:41] <fghj_> alex_mayorga: where?
[02:41] <poningru> so it would be /dev/xxx1 or /dev/xxx2 or soemthing like that
[02:41] <Berzerke1> michael117, do you think you could help me out? I have to give you some BG info before I tell you the problem.
[02:41] <poningru> anggarda: thats the beta release
[02:41] <cafuego_> anggarda: Feisty is due out midway through next month.
[02:41] <poningru> anggarda: atleast beta by tomorrow
[02:41] <michael117> alex_mayorga: Nah, it's cool, but the included one is just an open source generic driver because ati's driver is copyrighted so it cannot be included in ubuntu
[02:41] <cafuego_> anggarda: The current release is Edgy (6.10)
[02:42] <Drathorin> okay, I think i got it. (hhd1)
[02:42] <anggarda> ahh....thanks for the info folks. appreciated.
[02:42] <poningru> Drathorin: hhd?
[02:42] <poningru> you sure?
[02:42] <Drathorin> hdd1* sorry
[02:42] <alex_mayorga> can somebody help me to get a Xircom CEM56 pcmcia card working on my laptop?
[02:42] <poningru> ah ok
[02:42] <poningru> makes more sense
[02:42] <Drathorin> Fingers aren't co-operating
[02:42] <manton2007> madpilot, sorry to bother you. It didn't change anything.
[02:42] <Drathorin> (This drive is on the secondary slave)
[02:42] <poningru> Drathorin: excellent makes sense now
[02:43] <michael117> fghj_: fglrx is ati's driver for linux and you will need to install it from the repo and then make sure xorg.conf is set to use it and you can check by typing "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf|grep Driver" and see if it says "ati" or "fglrx"
[02:43] <poningru> Drathorin: now so the command would be 'sudo mount /dev/hdd1 oldstuff'
[02:43] <michael117> !fglrx
[02:43] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:43] <Drathorin> It would've worked when I was changing it around earlier, but my friend told me to change it to hdb :<
[02:43] <poningru> fghj_: you can also use envy
[02:43] <Berzerke1> michael117, do you think you could help me out a bit?
[02:43] <poningru> !envy | fghj_
[02:43] <ubotu> fghj_: envy is a Python script that eases installation of the official Nvidia and ATI drivers. Please see http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html . Developers may be interested in https://launchpad.net/products/envy - See also !Nvidia
[02:43] <Drathorin> Poningru - Yeah, I got it mounted, I think. No errors
[02:43] <Berzerke1> Envy didn't work for my when installing nVidia
[02:43] <michael117> Berzerke1: send me a pm if you have a lot to say
[02:43] <Berzerke1> It didn't install the wfb module.
[02:43] <Berzerke1> The run package worked fine.
[02:43] <FordCortina> do i need to post somewhere or talk to someone to apply for google SoC?
[02:44] <aarango> why is better knoppix 5.0..., somebody know?
[02:44] <Drathorin> Aha! I see the drive
[02:44] <poningru> Drathorin: wait this is a secondary drive?
[02:44] <poningru> as in slave?
[02:44] <Drathorin> Though, I don't understand the logic in how it worked. :)
[02:44] <michael117> poningru: WTF? I never even knew about this envy script
[02:44] <fghj_> fglrx works now -- thanks everyone :-)
[02:44] <Madpilot> manton2007, check the actual hardware of your screen - the width/height/contrast/brightness setting - wide black margins could be some width/height of display setting there
[02:44] <Drathorin> Yes, I have windows on the secondary master :x
[02:44] <mypapit> wtf
[02:44] <aarango> i think tha is more fast that ubuntu
[02:44] <poningru> Drathorin: hmm
[02:44] <poningru> Drathorin: the best thing for you to do would be to just reinstall grub then
[02:44] <michael117> fghj_: wait, type in glxgears to see if it is runs smoothly and then fglxinfo
[02:44] <poningru> on the master
[02:45] <poningru> !grub | Drathorin
[02:45] <ubotu> Drathorin: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[02:45] <michael117> fghj_: and look for "Direct Rendering: Yes" and you will know it is configured correctly
[02:45] <Drathorin> I don't like that idea though :< last time I had grub installed, one drive went down, and the whole system died
[02:45] <jvai> ENVY looks sweet!
[02:45] <fghj_> michael117: omg; it sucks; "Xlib: extension xfree86-dri missing"
[02:45] <wildcat16> Drathorin: GRUB as to be on the first (master) drive i think
[02:45] <poningru> Drathorin: yeah look at the first link
[02:45] <fghj_> michael117: what else do I need to do to get dri / direct rendering working?
[02:45] <Drathorin> Yeah, it's why I don't like it :o
[02:46] <manton2007> Madpilot, it works fine with the old windows the way it's set. I wish I could change it the other way, with a high screen resolution.
[02:46] <Drathorin> if that drive dies, then I can't boot linux
[02:46] <Drathorin> even though linux isn't on that hard drive
[02:46] <nn531> how do you change title bars without getting beryl or changing themes
[02:46] <wildcat16> Drathorin: then you put second drive's entries in menu.lst
[02:46] <paozinho> where is the UBUNTU - BR ? for brazil ??
[02:46] <addams> What is a good program to program PHP in linux in?
[02:46] <Madpilot> !br | paozinho
[02:46] <ubotu> paozinho: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigado.
[02:46] <paozinho> Thankyou !
[02:46] <addams> I need a strong "find and replace: text program
[02:46] <poningru> paozinho: does the use seem right?
[02:46] <cafuego_> addams: I find 'vim' works nicely.
[02:46] <michael117> fghj_: if you just installed it, make sure xorg.conf is configured to use it and if so make sure you have restarted x server
[02:46] <poningru> my portugese isnt upto par
[02:47] <paozinho> a
[02:47] <Madpilot> addams, gedit, or bluefish
[02:47] <nn531> !panel

[02:47] <nn531> ha funny
[02:47] <fghj_> michael117: I switched the "vesa" to "fglrx", then hit alt-ctrl-backspace, X restarted; but direct rendering is somehow not up; and the module section does have Load "dri"
[02:47] <nn531> not the windows i wanted
[02:47] <Drathorin> Not to be rude, but I have a tendancy for storage or extra drives to die :< and Grub had a bad habbit of taking my whole system down ^^;
[02:48] <poningru> Drathorin: damn ok lets take a look then
[02:48] <Drathorin> I'm just changing the fstab and grub menu lists to boot from hdd1, hopefully that should be it. .
[02:48] <poningru> Drathorin: run 'cd /boot/grub/
[02:48] <michael117> fghj_: Hmm... yeah, well fuck, that's what I always run into but I keep forgetting how I fix it
[02:48] <michael117> !fglrx
[02:48] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:48] <Berzerke1> michael117, I'm done telling you the story. :P
[02:48] <fghj_> ah; thanks
[02:48] <stpere> somebody know a way to control the state of a dialup connection using a web admin control?
[02:49] <theneb> webmin?
[02:49] <poningru> Drathorin: the menu list should have sections of all the os's that are listed
[02:49] <am_rods> can i install kde from gnome using synaptic, and what packages i have to install?
[02:49] <nn531> anyone know how to change titlebars without beryl or themes?
[02:49] <cables> am_rods, kubuntu-desktop
[02:49] <am_rods> thanks
[02:49] <michael117> fghj_: I think all the steps might be there... ATI is a bitch to the linux community with their lack of true driver support :(
[02:49] <Drathorin> Ponigru - yeah, currently it has hdb1 for ubuntu, so I'm switching those values to hdd1
[02:49] <Nullbyte> am_rods: kubuntu-desktop
[02:49] <stpere> theneb: yeah, webmin would do it
[02:49] <wildcat16> can I switch to KDE??
[02:49] <addams> hmm just trying to take all of this
[02:49] <redwyrm> michael117, so is nvidia
[02:49] <michael117> Berzerke1: did you PM me it?
[02:49] <Berzerke1> Yes, I did.
[02:49] <cables> wildcat16, run the command sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop and y ou can
[02:50] <addams> if i'm using gnome, i should try to stick with gnome apps?
[02:50] <michael117> redwyrm: Less than ATI
[02:50] <wildcat16> thx
[02:50] <cables> addams, you can use KDE apps if you like them
[02:50] <paozinho> i dont like the ubuntu-br irc....
[02:50] <stpere> theneb: Nullbyte but I was wondering if there were any other choice, lighter to download on my dialup
[02:50] <paozinho> they are talking about football
[02:50] <wildcat16> cables: that will take a while?
[02:50] <cables> wildcat16, you can then select KDE in Sessions in the login menu
[02:50] <cables> wildcat16, you'll have to download about 500 mb of stuff
[02:50] <redwyrm> michael117, so ATI doesn't even support closed-source linux drivers?
[02:50] <stpere> Nullbyte: didn't meant to include your nick, sorry :-)
[02:50] <wildcat16> thx ^^
[02:50] <Nullbyte> stpere: :) No problem mate
[02:51] <cheeseboy> how do i mount iso in ubuntu?
[02:51] <Drathorin> Ponigru - Thanks :) hopefully I'll be back in a few moments. I thank you in advance if it works :)
[02:51] <Drathorin> And thanks anyways if it doesn't ;)
[02:51] <theneb> cheeseboy: mount isofile
[02:51] <michael117> addams: Well, yes it's best to use gnome apps because when you start kde apps, it has to load the kde libraries into ram whereas gnome apps will already be loaded and the libraries there and it will just share the loaded ones
[02:51] <cheeseboy> thats it?
[02:51] <theneb> yeah
[02:51] <paozinho> a
[02:51] <theneb> cheeseboy: there is gisomount if you want a gui
[02:52] <firefly2442> Is there any really simple proxy server like this for Ubuntu? http://www.analogx.com/CONTENTS/download/network/proxy.htm
[02:52] <Berzerke1> michael117: Did you get the PM?
[02:52] <paozinho> cheeseboy: sudo mount *.iso /media/iso
[02:53] <l90bpm> why didn't you just say beowolf?
[02:53] <michael117> redwyrm: Well, they just kind of put them out there and you're on your own then. They aren't even great and don't even try to advance the support which is why the XGL hack exists in the first place and nvidia instead allows for aiglx
[02:53] <michael117> Berzerke1: No...
[02:53] <Berzerke1> how do I "PM?"
[02:53] <paozinho> someone know some thing of BERYL ???
[02:53] <eetfunk> how do I give read/write permissions to a certain user for a specific folder? I know it's chmod, but can't figure out the right syntax.
[02:53] <michael117> paozinho: nope, never heard of it :)
 Serious ?
[02:54] <michael117> paozinho: Running it now
[02:54] <paozinho> michael117: hehehehehe =P
[02:54] <paozinho> michael177: You can help me if a thing ?
[02:54] <paozinho> with*
[02:54] <michael117> paozinho: Depends... I'm a mavs fan and the game is on and I want to go watch it
[02:54] <paozinho> michael177: you can help me WITH a thing here ??
[02:55] <paozinho> michael177: i will be quickly : )
[02:55] <michael117> paozinho: k go!
[02:55] <paozinho> michael177: when i ON the beryl...the MENU bar (minimize, restore, etc) dissapear ! you know what is ??
[02:55] <troy_> Thanks ponigru, I'm up and running
[02:55] <waxyfresh> michael117: no luck
[02:56] <pluma> I'm now re-installing Linux for the sixth time (or so -- I lost count) in a row. If that doesn't do it, I'll try and copy the inittab from the LiveCD manually. That should not be necessary, but I'm willing to do anything right now.
[02:56] <teenbeat> quistion, if you used sudo apt-get install -f and it screwed up your system only is reinstalling again right
[02:56] <waxyfresh> michael117: i tryed a few  others to and they didint work
[02:56] <michael117> waxyfresh: well, fuck... try googling about software rendering with beryl :-/
[02:56] <_gpf_> woo, beryl crash!
[02:57] <Drathorin> Thank you very much folks :) and g'night
[02:57] <alex_mayorga> any one with pcmcia experience?
[02:57] <dkbg> I think there's a problem with exaile in the repos, synaptic can't download the "exaile" package, yet the deb is there (http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/e/exaile/), it also doesn't have an entry in the Packages.gz file (http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy/universe/binary-i386/Packages.gz)
[02:57] <michael117> paozinho: Beryl isn't being enabled or is closing down and so the window decorations aren't showing up... make sure xgl or aiglx is configured and running properly and that your drivers are working
[02:57] <cables> alex_mayorga, no, but it might help if you ask your problem specifically
[02:57] <alex_mayorga> can somebody help me to get a Xircom CEM56 pcmcia card working on my laptop?
[02:57] <Nergar> does somebody here is using utorrent???

[02:58] <addams> what is the safest and most stable way to play mp3 files in gnome ubuntu..?
[02:58] <cables> addams, no way is unsafe...
[02:58] <wildcat16> addams: i use Totem
[02:58] <cables> addams, you can use vlc
[02:58] <alex_mayorga> cables, how do I get a Xircom CEM56 pcmcia card working on my laptop?
[02:58] <paozinho> michael117: I use a NVIDIA, with driver 9775. I heard, need use XGL. I put in the "Render" options to use XGL....nothing !!
[02:58] <michael117> addams: with xine libraries?
[02:58] <cables> addams, or you can install the codecs
[02:58] <katani> addams as long as you have the MP3 codecs installed, you can play it in many apps
[02:58] <teenbeat> can someone please help me here

[02:58] <ubotu> teenbeat: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:58] <Zewey> addams: why are you looking for "safeness" from mp3s anyway?
[02:59] <michael117> paozinho: aiglx is intended for nvidia because nvidia has better support for linux and XGL is a hack of xorg to get ati cards running
[02:59] <cables> alex_mayorga, I didn't say I knew how to do that... is it a wi-fi card?
[02:59] <michael117> paozinho: depends on what card you have, I believe
[02:59] <Zewey> Nergar: you mean you've run uTorrent, but the icon is in the systray and you can't make it show?
[02:59] <alex_mayorga> cables, it's an ethernet/modem thing
[02:59] <ant> i cant seem to get X to recognize my newly installed bitmap fonts? any suggestions other than !fonts
[02:59] <teenbeat> what about the command sudo apt-get install - f command do i have to reinstall ubuntu because it scrambled it all
[02:59] <cables> alex_mayorga, I don't know...

[03:08] <pluma> WTF. I think it works now that I didn't create a partition for /etc. At least it's doing a filesystem check...

[03:11] <teenbeat> and how do i do that i know nothing of compiling and stuff
[03:11] <Zewey> Nergar: try moving/renaming/deleting .wine/c/windows/profiles/<username>/Application Data/uTorrent, and restart it
[03:11] <pluma> teenbeat, open a console and say "man mount"
[03:11] <Zewey> Nergar: if possible, try and update Wine as well
[03:11] <slestak> make a dir in /mnt like /mnt/win, the sudo mount /dev/hd? /mnt/win replace ? with the partition that you want to mount
[03:11] <placebohigh> !ask I just got through installing the desktop ubuntu. I can boot into the livecd fine doing the safe mode, and I installed from there.

[03:18] <laptop> bash: /home/laptop/Desktop/Realplayer10GOLD.bin: No such file or directory
[03:18] <laptop> ANd it wont install
[03:18] <arrenlex> laptop: Why are you trying to install realplayer?
[03:18] <laptop> And its on the desktop
[03:18] <laptop> Why not.
[03:18] <laptop> Becauseit plays all types of media?
[03:18] <laptop> :/
[03:18] <arrenlex> laptop: Because it's ugly terrible useless POC that plays almost nothing?
[03:18] <arrenlex> laptop: LOL, not like the free players!
[03:19] <crdlb> laptop, you don't want realplayer
[03:19] <placebohigh> Any ideas?
[03:19] <arrenlex> laptop: MPlayer plays anything....
[03:19] <laptop> Gimme an alternative.
[03:19] <teenbeat> this is something i probaly overreaded
[03:19] <arrenlex> laptop: mplayer, vlc, xine.
[03:19] <fghj_> I need to get libstdc++.so.5 (rather than libstdc++.so.6 ... how can I do this?
[03:19] <teenbeat> deleting the oem user
[03:19] <teenbeat> with sudo
[03:19] <laptop> mplayer wont play the wmv clips.
[03:19] <teenbeat> then you become root user am i right
[03:19] <pluma> RealAlternative... or is that Windows only?
[03:19] <Zewey> laptop: if you have w32codecs installed almost everything will play almost anything
[03:19] <arrenlex> laptop: Yes it will, you just need w32codecs.
[03:19] <crdlb> laptop, with w32codecs it will
[03:19] <gouki> !codecs

[03:19] <laptop> how can I do that....
[03:20] <arrenlex> laptop: Download and install this package: http://mirror2.ubuntulinux.nl/pool/edgy-seveas/extras/w32codecs_20060611-0.0_i386.deb
[03:20] <pluma> Downloading file 29 of 223... Ah, the joy of updating a fresh install.
[03:21] <pluma> Oh, and in case anybody else is prone to this kind of trouble: Don't ever ever put /etc on a different partition. Apparently that was the cause of my box not booting. Either that or the lack of mojo.
[03:21] <BehindYou> haha
[03:22] <placebohigh> pluma: as in different colored lines which don't actually display anything, looks like the video card died if you've ever seen it
[03:22] <placebohigh> but i can boot the livecd just fine, which i did after booting from the cd in safe mode and installed from there hoping it was a driver issue or something
[03:23] <laptop> OMFG !!! BBQ!!! that link auto installed, that is the ABSOLUTE first time thats happened, why cant it ALWAYS work like that@?@??
[03:23] <laptop> ALWAYS?
[03:23] <pluma> placebohigh: Sounds like a driver problem to me. But then again, I just spent three hours or more wondering why my box won't boot without configuration files...
[03:23] <BehindYou> lol
[03:23] <laptop> Why isnt EVERYTHING out ther .deb with installer like that!!??!!???
[03:23] <laptop> wtf
[03:23] <pluma> I was convinced I had /etc on its own partition before and remembered that putting stuff on different partitions is always a good thing. I guess there are exceptions to every rule.
[03:23] <laptop> poeple LIKE doing things in more steps than necessary?
[03:24] <placebohigh> that's what i was maybe thinking..is there a way to boot strait to console after installation maybe?
[03:24] <teenbeat> ok can i change the password with the cd without reinstalling again\
[03:24] <placebohigh> i go from bios post to wierd low-res lines :/
[03:24] <teenbeat> something went wrong with the password
[03:24] <pluma> teenbeat: I think so. You can switch to the console regardless, though. Unless the vga mess actually locks your box up.
[03:25] <BehindYou> pluma: they mean, user information, not system information..
[03:25] <pluma> Erm. Wrong addressee
[03:25] <BehindYou> oops
[03:25] <pluma> placebohigh: Alt+Ctrl+F1 should get you to a console usually
[03:25] <laptop> HOW can i adjust Firefox so it uses the mplayer to play ALL WMV embedded video!!!????
[03:26] <arrenlex> laptop: Run this command: sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer totem-mozilla-
[03:26] <arrenlex> laptop: The - at the end is important.
[03:26] <laptop> okay
[03:26] <pluma> placebohigh: Hm... wait. Do you have multiple VGA outs?
[03:26] <romeo_> how do i check how much free space i got on my hdd?
[03:26] <arrenlex> romeo_: df
[03:26] <romeo_> arrenlex: Thanks
[03:27] <arrenlex> romeo_: df -H might be more readable
[03:27] <pluma> Pfft. Who needs -H anyway.
[03:27] <laptop> Sorry
[03:27] <romeo_> arrenlex: Much better, was just wondering :)
[03:28] <enderxim> Is there a decent tutorial on upgrading to the newest kernel at kernel.org for ubuntu/linux in general? I found little help at ubuntuforums.org after a little searching.
[03:28] <alex_mayorga> how do I install a package to a different kernel than the one I'm running?
[03:28] <arrenlex> laptop: Sorry for what?
[03:28] <pluma> Oh, also df --si is a bit more standards compliant.
[03:28] <laptop> Do I have to RESTART for the CODECS to take effect???
[03:28] <laptop> I accidentally pressed the X on this program
[03:28] <redwyrm> how would I load the default Ubuntu GTK theme in another window manager/session?
[03:28] <arrenlex> laptop: NO, you do not have to RESTART for the CODECS to TAKE EFFECT.
[03:28] <arrenlex> laptop: On what PROGRAM?
[03:29] <laptop> Firefox
[03:29] <laptop> the whole system?
[03:29] <pluma> laptop: Please don't capitalise random words like that. It looks very loud.
[03:29] <shark-1> how is ubuntu pronounced?
[03:29] <laptop> ....sorry, did you say "Looks loud"?
[03:29] <arrenlex> shark-1: oo-boon-too
[03:29] <arrenlex> laptop: Yes. And it does.
[03:30] <pluma> laptop: Internet etiquette.
[03:30] <laptop> huh?
[03:30] <shark-1> its not like you-buntu right?
[03:30] <arrenlex> laptop: You only need to restart firefox.
[03:30] <xenos> is it really oo-boon-too?
[03:30] <joeyk_> thats how i say it
[03:30] <laptop> okay
[03:30] <crimsun> xenos: yes, it is.
[03:30] <arrenlex> xenos: Yep.
[03:30] <xenos> I've been saying you-bun-too.
[03:30] <xenos> that's unfortunate.
[03:30] <teenbeat> i cant get in ubuntu
[03:30] <DaveG|> i say it as oo bun too
[03:30] <pluma> laptop: All-caps is used for the equivalent of screaming. It's impolite.
[03:30] <shark-1> same
[03:30] <arrenlex> I started pronouncing it uhbuntwo.
[03:30] <joeyk_> i call it debian
[03:30] <joeyk_> lol
[03:30] <teenbeat> how do a change the pasword without reinstalling again
[03:30] <xenos> lol
[03:30] <vafada> how do i disable autostart when i insert a CD?
[03:30] <DaveG|> i call it linux really
[03:30] <DaveG|> :O
[03:30] <arrenlex> Just like I originally called debian, deebian.
[03:31] <arrenlex> And I called Linux Lienux.
[03:31] <laptop> Capital letters means screaming? who made that up?
[03:31] <arrenlex> And suse "soos". xD
[03:31] <laptop> silly
[03:31] <arrenlex> I cannot pronounce any Linux names ever.
[03:31] <ant> i used to call linux lienucks until i actually heard soemone say it
[03:31] <Marupa> is there a program like kdialog but for gnome?
[03:31] <Pollywog> I say oo-boon-too because that seems logical to me and I think I saw Nelson Mandela on a video and that is how he pronounced it
[03:31] <xenos> I called linux "lienux" for a long time as well
[03:31] <laptop> its just emphasis in font form, its being read not heard.....am I crazy?
[03:31] <joeyk_> gentoo is pretty easy to say ;)
[03:31] <pluma> I'm German, so I pronounce it Oo-boon-too.  :D That's the only one I never had trouble with.
[03:31] <laptop> anyway
[03:31] <alex_mayorga> laptop, IRC has come a long way
[03:32] <pluma> Also, lee-noox. With the second one short.
[03:32] <xenos> I'm American, so I ignore what the proper pronunciation may be and say it however I feel like
[03:32] <laptop> okay
[03:32] <arrenlex> zeenose: okay.
[03:32] <Pollywog> xenos: you can be President ;)
[03:32] <alex_mayorga> laptop, read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netiquette
[03:32] <laptop> so, now the video will play but I have no controls, no play button, forward button, no sound controls........is that normal??
[03:32] <xenos> My thoughts exactly
[03:32] <pluma> Oh, yes please. And make creationism a criminal offense.
[03:33] <arrenlex> laptop: No. Did you restart firefox after installing mplayer?
[03:33] <xenos> nah. I'm all about freedom.
[03:33] <DM|> is there a DHCP log in ubuntu
[03:33] <laptop> Its says "(No Video)" then all of a suffen it starts playing
[03:33] <laptop> sudden
[03:33] <arrenlex> laptop: No. Did you restart firefox after installing mplayer?
[03:33] <laptop> Yes.'
[03:33] <Pollywog> freedom means ppl are free to make stupid choices so long as nobody gets hurt
[03:33] <laptop> can I tell which player it is using?
[03:33] <arrenlex> laptop: Go to about:plugins in firefox and pastebin the page.
[03:33] <placebohigh> pluma, i'm late answer - the video card does have a VGA connector and an lcd connector, though i am using the regular crt connector
[03:33] <ant> freedom is the reason most people get hurt...
[03:33] <Marupa> I just want something faster than kdialog, cause that takes about ten seconds to pop up.
[03:33] <arnina_> maybe there is a syntax error in Documentation/networking/NAPI_HOWTO.txt,line 687:"nay" should be "may"
[03:33] <laptop> pastebin the page?
[03:34] <laptop> about:plugins ?
[03:34] <arrenlex> laptop: Yes. Press ctrl+a to select the page, ctrl+c to copy it, and ctrl+v to paste it into pastebin.
[03:34] <arrenlex> laptop: Yep.
[03:34] <xenos> Pollywog, I don't see how creationism violates the rights of thers
[03:34] <enderxim> arrenlex, I had the same problem after installing the vlc mozilla plugin
[03:34] <xenos> others*
[03:34] <laptop> in this room?
[03:34] <pluma> placebohigh: Hm... nevermind then. I had striped garbage on my primary screen when I booted Ubuntu with both screens connected, but it usually doesn't do that when only one is plugged in.
[03:34] <arrenlex> laptop: ...why is this so hard?
[03:34] <Pollywog> it doesn't
[03:34] <arrenlex> laptop: Do you see the firefox window?
[03:34] <Broady> laptop, paste it into pastebin
[03:34] <xenos> okay, didn't know if that's what you were saying.
[03:35] <froyd> hy peps
[03:35] <froyd> :d
[03:35] <laptop> where is pastebin?

[03:35] <SurfnKid> i think im goiing back to dapper
[03:35] <SurfnKid> edgy is giving me a problem starting gnome up
[03:35] <arrenlex> SurfnKid: Enjoy your outdated software. ^^
[03:35] <SurfnKid> and i have no idea what causes it
[03:36] <laptop> Oh cool
[03:36] <laptop> thats a cool concept
[03:36] <laptop> wow
[03:36] <SurfnKid> arrenlex: yeah i gotta see what it is
[03:36] <laptop> here it is
[03:36] <laptop> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11428/
[03:36] <Pollywog> I had a similar problem when I tried gdm in Edgy
[03:36] <ant> i am having the hardest time just getting X to recognize my new bitmap fonts
[03:36] <SurfnKid> Pollywog: what was it causingg
[03:36] <Pollywog> but I think it has been fixed
[03:36] <Pollywog> IIRC a file was missing
[03:36] <Netboy541> where is the equivalent to /etc/modprobe.conf?
[03:36] <Pollywog> is it an error about a missing file?
[03:36] <SurfnKid> hmmm
[03:37] <SurfnKid> it says it cant load Gnome Settings Manager
[03:37] <JN_Coward> I am trying to symlink a directory, the directory exists but ln -s complains that it does not :( any ideas?
[03:37] <placebohigh> pluma, ok, thanks for your time. I'm resetting my bios with cmos and then i'll try seeing if i can get to console or not
[03:37] <Pollywog> I got an error about a missing file so I switched to kdm but I think the problem is gone now
[03:37] <SurfnKid> I login... and it takes about 5 minutes for the desktop to show up, and another 5 mins to have the panels available, then an error shows up with that description, this all happened after I had several updates installed
[03:37] <Netboy541> anyone?
[03:38] <Pollywog> JN_Coward: what command are you using?
[03:38] <Pollywog> you might have it slightly backwards
[03:38] <JN_Coward> polywog: ln -s /home/jonas/rails/td/shared/polaroids /home/jonas/rails/td/releases/20070322022610/public/images/polaroids
[03:38] <SurfnKid> Pollywog: glad it works, i like the acpi features on edgy, dapper still needs improvement but it does the job
[03:38] <efface> i used automatix to install vmware...but i do not see vmware in the normal folder its suppose to be in
[03:38] <efface> is there a way to test if its been installed
[03:39] <LeoJr> can anyone offer help installing to nvidia raid array?
[03:39] <ant> !automatix | efface
[03:39] <ubotu> efface: automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[03:39] <cafuego_> LeoJr: is there another OS on that already?
[03:39] <Netboy541> can someone tell me where i can find the same thing as /etc/modprobe.conf ?
[03:39] <laptop> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11428/
[03:39] <redwyrm> Netboy541, instead of a file, it's a directory: /etc/modprobe.d
[03:39] <LeoJr> yes, winxp64
[03:39] <Pollywog> JN_Coward: which one is the directory?
[03:39] <cafuego_> then I can't help
[03:39] <Netboy541> thank you redwyrm
[03:39] <DM|> is there a DHCP log in ubuntu
[03:39] <JN_Coward> the first
[03:39] <arrenlex> laptop: Whoa.
[03:39] <mqueiros> hello! Can anyone recommend an Wireless network card that will work out of the box in ubuntu 6.06 ?
[03:39] <Netboy541> that was what i was thinking... just needed confirmation
[03:40] <JN_Coward> pollywog: the first
[03:40] <laptop> arrenlex:  no good?
[03:40] <arrenlex> laptop: You have two different plugins installed for EVERY file.
[03:40] <Pollywog> JN_Coward: then it should work
[03:40] <laptop> lol
[03:40] <arrenlex> laptop: for flash: macromedia and gnash
[03:40] <laptop> I screwed it up
[03:40] <arrenlex> laptop: for video: mplayer, vlc and realplayer
[03:40] <JN_Coward> pollywog: anything I can try?
[03:40] <efface> !vmware
[03:40] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. For VMWare Server, instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers
[03:40] <laptop> Will that hurt anything?
[03:40] <laptop> arrenlex:  cant I choose?
[03:40] <Pollywog> JN_Coward: do you already have symlinks in that directory?
[03:40] <laptop> arrenlex:  shouldnt i have all becuase some work well with others?
[03:40] <arrenlex> laptop: If I were you I would remove the extra packages, or they will keep stepping on each others' feet.
[03:41] <Pollywog> in other words are you chaining symlinks
[03:41] <laptop> eeek
[03:41] <arrenlex> laptop: To start, remove the mozilla-plugin-vlc package.
[03:41] <JN_Coward> polyywog: yes, but I didn't create them myself
[03:41] <laptop> any particular one you would remove especially?
[03:41] <Kooka> cya all
[03:41] <laptop> vlc sucks?
[03:41] <gossrock> mqueiros: the wireless card on my laptop worked great ... let me see what it is ...
[03:41] <vafada> how do i disable autostart when i insert a CD?
[03:41] <Pollywog> JN_Coward: I did not think that would work, chaining them
[03:41] <arrenlex> laptop: Nope, vlc is a great player. But you're going to have to pick one of mplayer or vlc.
[03:41] <Pollywog> and it is messy
[03:41] <joeyk_> te
[03:41] <mqueiros> gossrock: sorry... I was thinking on a PCI for my desktop...
[03:42] <arrenlex> laptop: Which is an equally great player, and I happen to be familiar with it, but not with vlc, so I can help you with mplayer, but not with vlc.
[03:42] <laptop> whichever is best
[03:42] <laptop> They really interfer?
[03:42] <laptop> okay
[03:42] <laptop> add/remove ?
[03:42] <arrenlex> laptop: Yes, remove that package. mozilla-vlc-plugin
[03:43] <arrenlex> laptop: er, mozilla-plugin-vlc
[04:00] <wildcat16> is there a gaim under KDE?
[04:00] <laptop> okay
[04:00] <arrenlex> laptop: Then explain to me how (and why) you installed gnash.
[04:00] <zen> If a linux-image package fails to install, how do I retry the installation?  It's not appearing on upgrade anymore.
[04:00] <arrenlex> wildcat16: You can run gaim under KDE (I do) or use kopete
[04:00] <laptop> I dont even know what gnash is
[04:00] <wildcat16> arrelex: thx
[04:00] <arrenlex> laptop: It's a free flash player that doesn't, er, work.
[04:00] <addam1> is there a way to search within a text box in fire fox?
[04:00] <arrenlex> addam1: Yes, use firefox 2.
[04:00] <LadyNikon> addam1: ctrl f?
[04:00] <addam1> ctrl f just searches a webpage
[04:00] <tonyyarusso> wildcat16: You can run gaim in KDE if you wish.  The native near-equivalent is Kopete.
[04:00] <addam1> not the text boxes within it
[04:00] <daaku> anyone got xorg working with 720p hdtv? - i cant seem to figure out why it ignores my modeline. also, it uses EDID/DCC info even though i ask it not to
[04:00] <arpegius> how do i kill all processes utilizing /dev/abcxyz?
[04:00] <arrenlex> addam1: ctrl+f, in firefox 2.
[04:00] <arrenlex> arpegius: fuser -mk /dev/abcxyz
[04:00] <arrenlex> laptop: Then, paste the output of this command: dpkg -l "*gnash*" | grep ^ii
[04:00] <addam1> arren: i'm glad they fixed that then, it was awful
[04:00] <arrenlex> addam1: Hell yes.
[04:00] <addam1> ;)
[04:00] <arpegius> arpegius: damn... i'm on os x and the fuser command doesn't exist.
[04:00] <tonyyarusso> !ohmy
[04:00] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[04:00] <arrenlex> arpegius: Then wtf are you doing asking for help in #ubuntu?
[04:00] <arpegius> arrenlex: like anyone who uses os x knows anything about the terminal
[04:00] <arrenlex> arpegius: lol, well, as you can see, the solutions aren't compatible enough.
[04:00] <arpegius> just thought id give it a shot
[04:00] <arpegius> freebsd != unix
[04:00] <laptop> Oh snap
[04:00] <arrenlex> laptop: Then, paste the output of this command: dpkg -l "*gnash*" | grep ^ii
[04:00] <gossrock> mqueiros: acordding to lshw it's an intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG, my guess is that other intel cards should be a good place to look even though it's on a Desktop
[04:00] <laptop> Well
[04:00] <laptop> arrenlex:  my mplayer now WORKS, you were right!  and i will do this now dpkg -l "*gnash*" | grep ^ii
[04:00] <laptop> Escept
[04:00] <laptop> arrenlex:  except the mplayer doesnt have volume control, is that normal?
[04:00] <arrenlex> laptop: There is no volume control slider. Use your system's volume control.
[04:00] <laptop> ahhh
[04:00] <laptop> thats less convenient.
[04:00] <laptop> but I can live with it.
[04:00] <ant> you figured they coulda put that in there
[04:00] <arrenlex> laptop: Yes, but better than nothing.
[04:00] <laptop> I did this: dpkg -l "*gnash*" | grep ^ii
[04:00] <laptop> tomas, why?
[04:00] <hoth> small quick question  please?
[04:00] <laptop> what did that do? (dpkg -l "*gnash*" | grep ^ii)
[04:00] <arrenlex> !ask | hoth
[04:00] <ubotu> hoth: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:00] <arrenlex> laptop: Did it print any output?
[04:00] <tomas_> it just seems to work better for me
[04:00] <laptop> Yes
[04:00] <laptop> it did
[04:00] <laptop> should I pastbin it?
[04:00] <arrenlex> laptop: Is it two lines or less?
[04:00] <blu> how do i get around buffer i/o on hdc when installing edgy?
[04:00] <laptop> 3 lines
[04:00] <tomas_> and it seems to have better deinterlace options
[04:00] <arrenlex> laptop: Hm... you can paste three lines here. But not more.
[04:00] <blu> and null expected error?
[04:00] <laptop> ii  gnash                0.7.2-1~edgy1  free Flash movie player
[04:00] <laptop> ii  libgnash0            0.7.2-1~edgy1  free Flash movie player - shared libraries
[04:00] <laptop> ii  mozilla-plugin-gnash 0.7.2-1~edgy1  free Flash movie player - Plugin for Mozilla
[04:00] <arrenlex> laptop: Ah, taht explains it.
[04:00] <arrenlex> laptop: Okay, remove those three packages in synaptic.
[04:00] <hoth> Thanks...how do I setup a vpn from Ubuntu to my windows workstation...firewall does accect VPN connection
[04:00] <laptop> Okay
[04:00] <laptop> I had no idea one program messes with another in linux
[04:00] <mqueiros> gossrock: ok! Thanks! I will take a look at it!
[04:00] <ant> !vpn
[04:00] <ubotu> From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD
[04:00] <justininkuna> any ideas on why sudo apt-get update wouldn't work?
[04:00] <arrenlex> laptop: The programs don't interfere with one another. But their plugins supersede one another in firefox.
[04:00] <tomas_> justininkuna, what happens?
[04:00] <justininkuna> connection errors
[04:00] <johnficca> Hey if I zip a folder in ubuntu linux will someone on a windows box be able to open and view it?
[04:00] <cafuego_> johnficca: Yes
[04:00] <arrenlex> laptop: Firefox finds a flash file and it looks at its list of programs that can handle flash, and it sees: gnash and adobe. So it picks the first one. But gnash doesn't really work very well.
[04:00] <genii> johnficca: Yes
[04:00] <johnficca> thank you
[04:00] <tomas_> might be a source in sources.list that is down?
[04:00] <gossrock> mqueiros: no prob.
[04:00] <laptop> Okay done
[04:00] <arrenlex> laptop: Similarly, firefox finds an embedded movie and looks at its list of everything that can play embedded movies. It sees: vlc, mplayer, realplayer. It picks the first one: vlc. But you want mplayer.
[04:00] <laptop> arrenlex:  I always get this error though: E: linux-igd: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[04:00] <johnficca> what is the command to zip something
[04:00] <justininkuna> It seems to work from other boxes that I have, just not this new box
[04:00] <johnficca> ?
[04:00] <arrenlex> laptop: Well that's not good.
[04:00] <tomas_> and you use the same mirrors?
[04:00] <efface> does VMware work out of the box so to say? I just did apt-get vmware-player and i cant really tell much on getting windows running, believe i still need a server?
[04:00] <arrenlex> laptop: linux-igd - Linux UPnP Internet Gateway Device
[04:00] <hendaus> hiya
[04:00] <tomas_> odd if that is the case
[04:00] <wilberfan> I lost all my sound on my backup box within the last 2 or 3 days, and the only changes I've made to it are applying the updates....
[04:00] <arrenlex> laptop: I've never seen that package before. Do you need that?
[04:00] <hendaus> can anyone help
[04:00] <wilberfan> There are a few of us with this problem:   http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=389408
[04:00] <laptop> arrenlex:  i do this and get onthing  dpkg -l "*gnash*" | grep ^ii
[04:00] <laptop> arrenlex:  which one?
[04:00] <arcturu> I am confused about access file input data. would i use request.POST.FILES['myfile']  <input type="file" name="myfile" /> to retrieve the data from said file?
[04:00] <justininkuna> yes, the same mirrors, I've even tried some different mirrors
[04:00] <arrenlex> laptop: linux-igd - Linux UPnP Internet Gateway Device
[04:00] <wilberfan> anyone in here experience this?   (Or have any ideas on how to remedy?)
[04:00] <laptop> arrenlex:  I dont know.
[04:00] <arrenlex> laptop: ...I don't like that it's failing to remove. Have you added any third-party repositories?
[04:00] <laptop> arrenlex:  probably.
[04:00] <tomas_> i have sadly absolutely no idea then, other than suggesting that you check your internet settings like dns, firewall and so on
[04:00] <arrenlex> laptop: That's not good.
[04:00] <arcturu> oops wrong room haha
[04:00] <tomas_> and try see if you can open the mirrors with a browser
[04:00] <ant> whats wrong with 3rd party repos?
[04:00] <laptop> Actually no I havent
[04:00] <laptop> arrenlex:  actually no i havent
[04:00] <laptop> I only checkmarked all the ones
[04:00] <justininkuna> tomas_: I have checked that stuff, but I can't find any errors
[04:00] <laptop> havent added any
[04:00] <hendaus> i want to configure xgnokii to change the port
[04:00] <arrenlex> laptop: lol... okay.
[04:00] <arrenlex> laptop: Type this command: sudo apt-get install linux-igd. Paste any output that you get.
[04:00] <houmala> Help.. how do you and what do I need to setup laptop wireless (Atheros / AMBIT) with ndiswrapper?
[04:00] <justininkuna> tomas_: I can use wget to get some of the files that I can't seem to get
[04:00] <laptop> arrenlex:  with the period?
[04:00] <mrnhat> quick question-- just in hopes that someone else has come across this-- Ubuntu will not load on my laptop. After the main loading bar [before the graphical loading]  is complete, it tries to load the OS, and I get a visually gross crash.
[04:00] <arrenlex> laptop: apt-get install linux-igd
[04:00] <mrnhat> Looks like a video error of some sort... but I'm not sure how to solve it
[04:00] <sum0> anyone have a mirror for the automatix debs?
[04:00] <shark-1> give me a reason to switch to ubuntu
[04:00] <arrenlex> shark-1: From what?
[04:00] <arrenlex> !automatix | sum0
[04:00] <ubotu> sum0: automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[04:00] <shark-1> windows
[04:00] <laptop> okay
[04:00] <tomas_> justininkuna, i never experienced anything similar :\
[04:00] <arrenlex> shark-1: What's important to you in a computer?
[04:00] <houmala> how about no blue screens
[04:00] <justininkuna> tomas_, I'll keep trying thanks
[04:00] <shark-1> id say it but id get banned
[04:00] <tomas_> <--- bedtime

[04:00] <arrenlex> houmala: windows xp doesn't blue-screen except where third parties are involved.  This is on a default 6.10 install; there are some forum posts mentioning this but no solution.
[04:00] <arrenlex> laptop: Hm... what about sudo apt-get remove linux-igd
[04:00] <houmala> need help and or info about ndiswrapper
[04:00] <arrenlex> genii: ?
[04:00] <mrnhat> nobody has come across a video area [while loading the OS]  here? I've had this happen on two computers now

[04:00] <laptop> what?
[04:00] <arrenlex> genii: XP blue-screens for you?
[04:00] <hellhound> hi
[04:00] <beg1689> can aynone help me? this is so frustrating, i just want to sit on my couch with my laptop but the wifi wont work... drivers are fine, gets an address from dhcp, sets default gateway, etc. but i cant even ping the router, anyone have nay ideas at all that could help?
[04:00] <laptop> did I do it wrong?
[04:00] <arrenlex> laptop: No, no, you did everything fine. The package is broken, though. It won't install or remove.
[04:01] <laptop> arrenlex:  I cant manually delete it?
[04:01] <firefly2442> Is there a way to enable remote desktop via Preferences -> Remote Desktop  but do it using the commandline?
[04:01] <arrenlex> laptop: It would still be listed as installed in the database... let me think.
[04:01] <genii> arrenlex In my lab with 4 systems running it (XP pro, SP2) about once a week on each box. Pretty consistent
[04:01] <beg1689> what is the name of the gnome gui for configuring services?
[04:01] <hellhound> can someone tell me where to find the "disk mounter" GUI utility for ubuntu edgy?
[04:01] <beg1689> services-admin? doesnt seem to lisdt everything
[04:02] <arrenlex> laptop: Probably some third-party drivers. I ran windows XP for four-five years and I've never seen a BS on it.
[04:02] <arrenlex> laptop: Er, that's not for you,s orry.
[04:02] <arrenlex> genii: Probably some third-party drivers. I ran windows XP for four-five years and I've never seen a BS on it.
[04:02] <laptop> oh
[04:02] <hellhound> can someone tell me where to find the "disk mounter" GUI utility for ubuntu edgy?
[04:02] <laptop> I was like "wtf" you know?
[04:02] <arrenlex> laptop: I'd imagine. xD
[04:02] <hendaus> somebody help?
[04:03] <DarthFrog> Does anyone know of a backup utility that will backup to DVD-size chunks?
[04:03] <mythos__> good morning
[04:03] <arrenlex> laptop: As for you, run this command and pastebin the output: sudo dpkg --purge /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-igd*.deb
[04:03] <genii> arrenlex: No, it's that it constantly replaces the 3rd party nvidia drivers with it's own which it thinks are better on each automatic update that causes it. I have to replace the MS drivers with the nvidia ones to get it good again
[04:03] <arrenlex> genii: Just blacklist that update.
[04:03] <whta> ahhhhh i downloaded 7zip from synaptic but i have no clue how to run it
[04:04] <gossrock> hendaus: what do you need?
[04:04] <mythos__> hellhound, there isn't a "disk mounter GUI" in ubuntu-edgy ... probably in feisty get a new one
[04:04] <hellhound> err help please
[04:04] <hellhound> mythos__, ok
[04:04] <amFyZWQ> is there a command to list every user on the box?
[04:05] <cafuego_> amFyZWQ: getent passwd
[04:05] <DarthFrog> amFyZWQ: "cat /etc/passwd | less"
[04:05] <laptop> arrenlex: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11433/
[04:05] <cafuego_> DarthFrog: Ugh
[04:05] <hendaus> gossrock,  thanx, i need to configure xgnokii coz the configuration is wrong
[04:05] <DarthFrog> cafuego_: It works. :-)
[04:05] <amFyZWQ> oh
[04:05] <amFyZWQ> k
[04:06] <amFyZWQ> and what was that command to show
[04:06] <amFyZWQ> disk usage?
[04:06] <hendaus> gossrock,  i want to change the port
[04:06] <arrenlex> laptop: Oh, sorry. sudo dpkg --purge linux-igd
[04:06] <cafuego_> DarthFrog: at *least* use 'less /etc/passwd' then. However, it doesn't list users that may be able to log on using remote auth, whereas getent does.
[04:06] <beg1689> can anyone help me with my wireless internet? are there any programs that are known to interfere with it? when i restart network or run dhclient it says theres already a pid file, but then says it connects successfully, and reports the IP it was assigned, even though dhclient was not running already
[04:07] <gossrock> hendaus: sorry I don't know xgnokii.  I will poke around though ...
[04:07] <Yggdrasil> can somone help me, somethings going on with my .bashrc when i open a terminal window i get no colors for different files, i edited my .bashrc file and . after i type bash then iget colors
[04:07] <DarthFrog> cafuego_: "cat /etc/passwd | less" and "less /etc/passwd" are pretty much one and the same.  But thanks for telling me about getent, I wasn't aware of it before.
[04:07] <hendaus> gossrock,  another problem how could i configure the monitor to switch off after 20 minutes
[04:08] <cafuego_> DarthFrog: No, one needs to start twice as many binaries and thus is slower and sues more ram ;-)
[04:08] <laptop> arrenlex:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11434/
[04:08] <DarthFrog> cafuego_:   Ok, sure what ever you say. :-)
[04:09] <arrenlex> laptop: Okay, getting closer. Now this: sudo bash -x /etc/init.d/upnpd stop
[04:09] <gossrock> hendaus: that I might be able to help with ... I'm on Dapper so it may be a bit different ... let me check to be sure ... stand by.
[04:09] <hellhound> mythos__, how can I tell Linux to remount certain partitions when the system boots?
[04:09] <cafuego_> `cat' is the most useless command ever
[04:09] <arrenlex> laptop: Wait, actually
[04:09] <arrenlex> laptop: This instead: sudo bash -xv /etc/init.d/upnpd stop
[04:09] <DarthFrog> cafuego_: cat is very useful, in the right circumstances.  "cat file1 file2 > file3"
[04:09] <cafuego_> I should file a bug to have it removed from coreutils
[04:09] <arrenlex> cafuego_: Are you crazy, that is my single most used command.
[04:09] <Dasnipa`> cafuego, cat is hardles useless
[04:10] <Dasnipa`> hardly*
[04:10] <laptop> arrenlex:  okay
[04:10] <hellhound> how can I tell Linux to remount certain partitions when the system boots?
[04:10] <arrenlex> hellhound: By putting them into /etc/fstab
[04:10] <hellhound> ok
[04:10] <eV64> I just followed the guide to get bcm43xx wireless working with fwcutter and installed network-manager-genome but network-manager-genome is only seeing my wired nics and not my wireless.
[04:10] <DarthFrog> cafuego_: Methinks you are a dog lover. :-)
[04:10] <laptop> arrenlex:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11435/
[04:10] <mythos__> hellhound, partitions, which are in the fstab, will be remounted automaticly after a reboot
[04:10] <gossrock> hendaus: under dapper you would go to the System Menu -> Preferances --> Power Management
[04:11] <dougb> is it safe to update from dapper to edgy?
[04:11] <dougb> i remember it wasn't when edgy was first released
[04:11] <gossrock> hendaus: there you should have options for both when it's pluged in and when it's not ... (I'm on a laptop)
[04:12] <yellow_chicken> how to split a 4 GB file into four  1GB file and put it back together?
[04:12] <mythos__> hellhound, i hope my english is quite readable ^^
[04:12] <arrenlex> laptop: Run this command: gksu gedit /etc/default/upnp
[04:12] <arrenlex> laptop: Remove the # before the lines ext interface and internal interface
[04:12] <DarthFrog> yellow_chicken: Use "split" and "cat".
[04:12] <eV64> yellow_chicken, man split
[04:12] <laptop> huh?
[04:13] <arrenlex> laptop: huh what?
[04:13] <laptop> oh okay
[04:13] <laptop> I get it
[04:13] <yellow_chicken> DarthFrog: works with binary files?  say it's a windows executable.
[04:13] <DarthFrog> yellow_chicken: It works with any file.  There's nothing special about an executable file.
[04:13] <sam_> yo cav your nick'
[04:14] <arrenlex> laptop: Did you do that without problems?
[04:14] <yellow_chicken> DarthFrog: great.  eV64: thanks
[04:14] <teenbeat> are there any programs for dvd editing like exsample adobe encore dvd
[04:14] <hendaus> gossrock,  ok i have edgy,i enter system settings -> display -> powersaving
[04:14] <eV64> yellow_chicken, no problem
[04:14] <laptop> arrenlex:  Im trying to figure out what happened an editor opened but displayed nothing
[04:14] <DarthFrog> yellow_chicken: Just remember to put them back in the right order. :-)
[04:14] <eV64> network-manager-gnome not seeing my wireless bcm43xx setup with fwcutter (it does detect my wired nics and my wireless is working)
[04:15] <gossrock> hendaus: ah good, that was easy :)
[04:15] <teenbeat> or programmes like adobe illustrater
[04:15] <laptop> arrenlex:  Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.
[04:15] <arrenlex> laptop: .... that doesn't sound good.
[04:15] <yellow_chicken> DarthFrog: haha. it does matter
[04:15] <hendaus> gossrock,  i put 20 minutes,the monitor switchoff but the green color on the power still not orange why?
[04:15] <arrenlex> laptop: For some reason I'm seeing that a lot lately.
[04:15] <arrenlex> laptop: On this channel.
[04:15] <laptop> arrenlex:  coded problem?
[04:16] <arrenlex> laptop: I don't know, I've never seen it myself, and never seen it resolved... maybe try searching on the forums when we're done.
[04:16] <gossrock> hendaus: hmm, not sure, it may be that what the power saving is doing is just sending a black screen (I'm not sure though)
[04:16] <arrenlex> laptop: Anyway, run this command: sudo nano /etc/default/upnp
[04:16] <arrenlex> laptop: This will open a console-based text editor. Arrow keys to move around. Remove those two #.
[04:16] <kkerwin> Hi. Anyone had any luck with an Orinoco 8480-WD card?
[04:16] <arrenlex> laptop: Remove the # before the lines ext interface and internal interface
[04:17] <arrenlex> laptop: When you're done that, if there were no problems, press ctrl+x, type y, and hit enter.
[04:17] <hendaus> gossrock,  i want the monitor to switch off with the orange color
[04:17] <laptop> arrenlex:  completely blank
[04:17] <arrenlex> laptop: Hmm... Okay, close that: ctrl+x.
[04:17] <laptop> okay
[04:18] <eV64> anyone used network-manager-gnome?
[04:18] <yellow_chicken> DarthFrog: a good way to test, is ... 1) md5sum bigFile.unknown  2) split it, 3) cat it, 4) md5sum that file and compare sum?
[04:18] <arrenlex> laptop: What's the output of: "file /etc/default/upnpd"
[04:18] <DarthFrog> yellow_chicken: That works.  And very well, too.
[04:18] <sam_> so cinelerra gives me a core dump in 7.04 do we have a fix
[04:19] <Shrimpy_> is there a way to find the file you just installed via tar.gz
[04:19] <chas3d1> hey mates! can anybody help me with a wifi card?
[04:19] <laptop> arrenlex:  /etc/default/upnpd: ASCII English text
[04:19] <DarthFrog> Shrimpy_: tar isn't an installer.
[04:20] <arrenlex> laptop: ...what the heck?!
[04:20] <eV64> chas3d1, depends, i'm a noob but i just got mine working
[04:20] <gossrock> hendaus: I've never had that problem but that's because I only have run Ubuntu on a laptop and I don't have the orang light ... Does the Dialoge say Power Management Preferences at the top and have 3 tabs in it (checking to see if we are looking at the same dialoge)
[04:20] <teenbeat> are there any programs for dvd editing like exsample adobe encore dvd and illustrator in linux
[04:20] <blu> anyone know if you can split an iso file like the new ubuntu 1.6 gb into 3 disks and put it on a cdr?
[04:20] <Shrimpy_> DarthFrog: i did make file and and then it made dir (?) what do i need to do now?
[04:20] <laptop> arrenlex:  thats the line that came up
[04:20] <amFyZWQ> what is the command to show disk usage?
[04:20] <Ltar> how to install  a gimp extension? I downloaded a binary file, where do I put it?
[04:20] <arrenlex> laptop: Okay, hit the up arrow to bring back that command. Hit the "home" button to go back to the beginning of the line. Press delete until you get to the end of "file" being erased. Then type "sudo nano". It should end up reading "sudo nano /etc/default/upnpd". Press enter.
[04:20] <DarthFrog> Shrimpy_: go into that directory and poke about. :-)
[04:20] <arrenlex> amFyZWQ: df -H
[04:21] <chas3d1> ev64 - i'm a noob too mate. It's bcm4303 and it's powered on... but it's not functioning
[04:21] <Shrimpy_> DarthFrog: ok lol
[04:21] <laptop> OKay
[04:21] <DarthFrog> amFyZWQ: df -h
[04:21] <amFyZWQ> yeah
[04:21] <amFyZWQ> thanks
[04:21] <eV64> chas3d1, i just got my bcm43xx working, sec i'll get you a link
[04:21] <laptop> arrenlex:  oh yeah that worked, now I take out the number signs?
[04:21] <arrenlex> laptop: Yep.
[04:21] <arrenlex> laptop: Remove the # before the lines ext interface and internal interface
[04:21] <hendaus> gossrock,  display-system Settings
[04:22] <hellhound> HELP WANTED: How come after installing the apache2 packages on edgy, the system services gtk utility doesn't show any entry for this http server?
[04:22] <eV64> chas3d1, for legal reasons, ubuntu can't include the driver.  What you basically do is get the windows driver then use a program to make it work with linux.  A step-by-step guide is here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=185174
[04:22] <kkerwin> Hi. Anyone had any luck with an Orinoco 8480-WD card?
[04:22] <tonyyarusso> hellhound: Isn't it a daemon, not a service?
[04:22] <arrenlex> laptop: When you're done that, if there were no problems, press ctrl+x, type y, and hit enter.
[04:23] <laptop> done
[04:23] <laptop> it said the file, and I pressed enter
[04:23] <arrenlex> laptop: run: sudo /etc/init.d/upnp start
[04:23] <hellhound> tonyyarusso : yes it is
[04:23] <placebohigh> Anyone know anything more about installing with an nvidia card? I installed ubuntu through the safe mode gui installer just fine, and the Ubuntu splash screen looks fine on startup, but once it begins to boot the screen goes messed up. As in random lines like the display is compeletely wrong. Any ideas?
[04:23] <chas3d1> eV64 - thanks mate. Any words of wisdom?
[04:23] <arrenlex> laptop: Paste any output.
[04:23] <laptop> okay
[04:23] <laptop> arrenlex:  sudo: /etc/init.d/upnp: command not found
[04:23] <hellhound> daemons are services in Linux
[04:24] <eV64> chas3d1, read it carefully, ctrl shift v is paste in terminal, be careful not to copy a space in front of the commands
[04:24] <DarthFrog> daemon = Disk And Environment MONitor.
[04:24] <chas3d1> eV64 - haha, I've run into that problem before!
[04:24] <peeps> hey guys, gnome froze up on my other computer, does anyone know any way I might be able to recover it without exiting all the programs I had open?
[04:24] <arrenlex> laptop: Oh, right. sudo /etc/init.d/upnpd start
[04:24] <peeps> i can still ssh to it
[04:24] <eV64> chas3d1,  and download http://boredklink.googlepages.com/wl_apsta.o as the guide says
[04:24] <gatekeep> eV64: is your bcm43xx mini-PCI? and whos the manufacturer of your card? cuz I have a dell OEM and it was SLOW AS CRAP with bcm43xx used ndiswrapper got massive speed
[04:25] <DarthFrog> peeps: SSH in and kill the frozen process.
[04:25] <hellhound> HELP WANTED: How come after installing the apache2 packages on edgy, the system services gtk utility doesn't show any entry for this http server?
[04:25] <peeps> DarthFrog, well i can't tell which process caused the problem.  cpu usage is very low.  i killed a couple things but no go
[04:25] <eV64> gatekeep, it's a linksys wmp54g(v2), it's working fine, using it now.  I remember last time i did the ndiswrapper and didn't have any luck although i'm less stupid now than I was then
[04:25] <peeps> the cursor won't even move
[04:25] <laptop> arrenlex:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11437/
[04:26] <DarthFrog> peeps: Can't you see what's frozen with top?
[04:26] <gossrock> hendaus: sorry but I seem to be of no help.
[04:26] <gatekeep> ev64: i just mention it cuz i know if your card is a newer revision
[04:26] <gatekeep> ev64: and it uses the newer drivers it has problems ... (ie 4.00 drivers)
[04:26] <peeps> DarthFrog, how would I know which process is frozen?
[04:26] <arrenlex> laptop: Run this again: "sudo nano /etc/default/upnpd"
[04:26] <phasegen> does anyone know if you can configure wpa without messing up wep?
[04:27] <DarthFrog> peeps: you could issue a "kill -15 " to the open apps. This will allow them to close cleanly.
[04:27] <hendaus> gossrock,  ok
[04:27] <arrenlex> laptop: Press alt+k until the file is blank. Then, paste the following two lines into it:
[04:27] <arrenlex> laptop:EXT_IFACE=ppp0
[04:27] <arrenlex> INT_IFACE=eth0
[04:27] <laptop> OKAY
[04:27] <Broady> do that
[04:28] <Broady> and your computer will explode
[04:28] <arrenlex> laptop: Why are you yelling now? xD
[04:28] <eV64> gatekeep, all seems well now.  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=197102 is that the ndiswrapper guide you used?  I just pointed chas3d1 to the fwcutter because it worked for me
[04:28] <laptop> oh sorry
[04:28] <eV64> gatekeep, chas3d1, i'll brb
[04:28] <laptop> lol
[04:28] <arrenlex> laptop: To confirm: that file contains only two lines, and they are:
[04:28] <arrenlex> EXT_IFACE=ppp0
[04:28] <arrenlex> INT_IFACE=eth0
[04:28] <laptop> yelling, *sigh*
[04:28] <arrenlex> laptop: Correct?
[04:28] <laptop> yes
[04:28] <arrenlex> laptop: ctrl+x, y, enter
[04:28] <laptop> do I save now?
[04:28] <gatekeep> ev64: since im using Feisty, it was different but yes i did
[04:29] <yellow_chicken> DarthFrog: how to tell split to use human readiable bytes? as in ls -ah
[04:29] <arrenlex> laptop: sudo /etc/init.d/upnpd start
[04:29] <Shrimpy_> DarthFrog: turn out i did all the work to find out the file is .exe grrrh
[04:29] <DarthFrog> yellow_chicken: "man split".  It's been a very long time since I used it.
[04:29] <laptop> arrenlex:
[04:29] <laptop> laptop@laptop2:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/upnpd start
[04:29] <laptop> Starting Linux IGD Daemon: upnpd.
[04:29] <arrenlex> laptop: OMG, amazing! It actually worked!!
[04:29] <DarthFrog> Shrimpy_: Well, you've now had a learning experience. :-)
[04:29] <laptop> haha
[04:29] <arrenlex> laptop: Okay, now sudo apt-get remove --purge linux-igd
[04:29] <laptop> Im not even sure what we just accomplished.
[04:30] <laptop> oh yeah were trying to remove that broken package
[04:30] <arrenlex> laptop: We managed to fix the package, so that we can remove it.
[04:30] <laptop> haha
[04:30] <laptop> fixed to remove...
[04:30] <sam_> yo punisher look to the left
[04:30] <peeps> is there some command to restart x but keep all open windows somehow?
[04:30] <arrenlex> yellow_chicken: You can just put k or m at the end of your size.
[04:30] <Shrimpy_> DarthFrog: ok i found it as a package (should have looked into that) but is there a way to find it?
[04:30] <arrenlex> laptop: Pastebin the output.
[04:30] <DarthFrog> Shrimpy_:  yes.  the "find" command.  It is *extremely* powerful.
[04:31] <yellow_chicken> arrenlex: ok thanks
[04:31] <arrenlex> laptop: (hopefully this is the last thing)
[04:31] <chas3d1> eV64 - just let me know when you're back
[04:31] <DarthFrog> peeps: Nope.
[04:31] <laptop> arrenlex:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11438/
[04:31] <arrenlex> laptop: HAHAHA.  Anyone had any luck with an Orinoco 8480-WD card? It's a PCMCIA card.
[04:32] <DarthFrog> peeps:  X is a single process.  All the apps run as sub-processes.  Kill the X process and all the apps are zombies.
[04:32] <peeps> ok
[04:32] <arrenlex> laptop: I'm so sick of this... just do this: echo true | sudo tee /etc/init.d/upnpd
[04:33] <Shrimpy_> DarthFrog: i typed that into the command line and it show crazy stuff. is there a gui one
[04:33] <laptop> arrenlex:  lol okay
[04:33] <DarthFrog> Shrimpy_:  A GUI for what, sorry?
[04:33] <arrenlex> laptop: Then run sudo apt-get remove --purge linux-igd again.
[04:33] <laptop> arrenlex:  true
[04:33] <Shrimpy_> DarthFrog: the find
[04:33] <blu> this is why you should get a linux that works like vector linux
[04:33] <arrenlex> laptop: True what?
[04:33] <laptop> laptop@laptop2:~$ echo true | sudo tee /etc/init.d/upnpd
[04:33] <DarthFrog> Shrimpy_: Probably.  Try beagle.
[04:33] <laptop> true
[04:33] <arrenlex> laptop: Oh, yes. True. Yep.
[04:33] <peeps> what about restarting metacity?  i know that can be done because I have done it through Beryl Manager
[04:34] <arrenlex> laptop: Then run sudo apt-get remove --purge linux-igd again.
[04:34] <steve_> sup everyone
[04:34] <laptop> okay
[04:34] <Shrimpy_> DarthFrog: ok thanks for your help! ( i found the command line to run the package i installed!!!)
[04:34] <steve_> is there a switch that lets you install unmet dependencies for apt-get
[04:34] <steve_> whe you install a prog
[04:34] <eV64> chas3d1, how's it goin?
[04:34] <DarthFrog> Shrimpy_: what was the command you used?  "dpkg -i"?
[04:35] <chas3d1> eV64 - it says it can't find the package
[04:35] <laptop> arrenlex:  here ya go  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11441/
[04:35] <Shrimpy_> DarthFrog: negative. it was the file name (i used synaptic)
[04:35] <arrenlex> laptop: THANK GOD. UGH.
[04:35] <eV64> do you have an internet connection on the computer right now?
[04:35] <DarthFrog> Shrimpy_: Good stuff.
[04:35] <arrenlex> laptop: I totally had you do something that's not allowed, though, to force it to remove, so you should restart your system to make sure you don't have the program you just uninstalled still running...
[04:35] <laptop> arrenlex:  hahaha, what did we accopmlish by removing that?
[04:35] <Shrimpy_> DarthFrog: have a good dayQ
[04:35] <laptop> okay i'll br right back.
[04:36] <arrenlex> laptop: We accomplished your package system not being broken. You might have issues installing or removing packages, now or in the future.
[04:36] <eV64> chas3d1, do you have internet on the computer right now?
[04:36] <chas3d1> eV64 - of course
[04:36] <DarthFrog> arrenlex: you might suggest "apt-get -f install".
[04:36] <eV64> what line are you pasting in?
[04:36] <addams> is there some sort address bar in ubuntu that i can add so i can just launch urls ?
[04:36] <arrenlex> DarthFrog: No, this package didn't install or remove. Bad initscript.
[04:37] <chas3d1> eV64 - sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter
[04:37] <DarthFrog> arrenlex: Bad developer, no cookies for you!!
[04:37] <eV64> chas3d1, do you have restricted enabled?
[04:37] <peeps> Is there at least a way to restart X remotely?
[04:37] <arrenlex> DarthFrog: wtf, I'm not a developer. I just try to help people untangle when the developers mess up.
[04:37] <eV64> chas3d1, sorry, universe
[04:37] <chas3d1> eV64 - what is that?
[04:37] <DarthFrog> arrenlex: I wasn't meaning you. :-)
[04:38] <arrenlex> DarthFrog: Oh, okay... yeah, bad developer. xD
[04:38] <DarthFrog> peeps: Yes. in the SSH session, issue these commands "export DISPLAY=:0 && startx"
[04:39] <arrenlex> laptop: Yo. Still alive?
[04:39] <laptop> arrenlex: okay back
[04:39] <laptop> yeah
[04:39] <eV64> chas3d1, it's another repository.  Basically a server that apt-get looks at and can download from.  did you do step 1 of the instructions?  1 ) Ensure you have access to the other ubuntu repos
[04:39] <eV64> follow the intructions on the second heading from this page to ensure you have the universe enabled
[04:39] <eV64> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Package...iversePackages
[04:39] <laptop> arrenlex:  what did we erase?
[04:39] <yellow_chicken> arrenlex: yup, works very nice
[04:39] <laptop> arrenlex:  in a nutshell what did we do?
[04:39] <DarthFrog> peeps: actually, don't do that.
[04:39] <chas3d1> eV64 - i will do that right now
[04:39] <peeps> woops
[04:39] <peeps> too late
[04:39] <arrenlex> laptop: Er, the "Linux UPnP Internet Gateway Device" package.
[04:39] <DarthFrog> peeps: instead of "startx", do "nohup startx &" :-)
[04:40] <DarthFrog> peeps: No big deal. Just kill the X process.
[04:40] <eV64> chas3d1, cool, then try sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter again
[04:40] <annihilus> hey everyone, im brand new to linux, can someone point me in the right direction ro getting my wireless card working (intel proset 3495) ..  oh yeah and pelo can take it out if he wants :)
[04:40] <arrenlex> laptop: I have no idea what that does or if you needed it, but it's not like you could start it anyway, so you don't have less functionality now than before.
[04:40] <DarthFrog> peeps: kill -15 (X process ID)
[04:40] <eV64> anyone here use network-manager-gnome, it's not seeing my wireless eth2

[04:42] <eV64> chas3d1, good.  on to step 4
[04:42] <bruenig> arrenlex, genius
[04:42] <eV64> !windows | dude

[04:43] <peeps> DarthFrog peeps ~>nohup: appending output to `nohup.out'
[04:43] <peeps> it just says that and sits there
[04:43] <bruenig> laptop, totem mplayer, some sort of bizarre hybrid?
[04:43] <laptop> bruenig:  perhaps?
[04:43] <laptop> thats what it says
[04:43] <dude_> arrenlex: how long does it take to order?
[04:43] <DarthFrog> peeps: "export DISPLAY=:0 && nohup startx &" in the SSH session. If there isn't already an X session going, in which case you'll have to do "DISPLAY=:0.1" or something like that.
[04:43] <arrenlex> laptop: lol, totem mplayer is like excel word. xD
[04:43] <bruenig> dude_, edgy can't be ordered, and generally about 6 weeks
[04:43] <Pelo> laptop,  you probably need the restricted modules for the codecs and stuff   !restricted
[04:43] <laptop> arrenlex:  wow, Ive screwed this up.

[04:48] <laptop> arrenlex:  yup
[04:49] <arrenlex> laptop: Right-click on the window and go to options or preferences or whatever. Look for something that says "video output" or "vo". Change it to "xv".

[04:52] <gatekeep> eV64: i believe hendaus is asking if there is a program like that one for Kubuntu ... which I don't believe there is...
[04:52] <arrenlex> laptop: Yeah, don't touch that box... look for "video out". If you can't find it, send me a screenshot at http://konstant.ls.la/upload.html
[04:52] <eV64> !pastebin | beg1689
[04:52] <ubotu> beg1689: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[04:53] <beg1689> i know, dont worry
[04:53] <eV64> ok

[04:54] <hendaus__> i use on windowsxp Nokia_PC_Suite_682_rel_22_0_eng_web.msi,but still not have this program for kubuntu linux thanx to everyhelper ??
[04:54] <ed1t> where can u download fiesty fawn from?
[04:54] <ed1t> i*

[04:54] <laptop> okay
[04:58] <smo> user not known to the underlying authentication module ---- any idears on this message ??? i can t use my tty now ....
[04:58] <gatekeep> begl689: your connected to your wireless.. because DHCP returned an IP address ... do you have any firewall scripts or anything like that?
[04:58] <laptop> arrenlex:  there is a tab for video and onr for audio
[04:58] <arrenlex> laptop: video.
[04:58] <eV64> beg1689, an easy solution may be to set a static ip using system>administration>networking
[04:58] <laptop> arrenlex:  okay
[04:58] <JiBEsH> could someone tell  me how can i emulate a cisco router ?
[04:58] <eV64> beg1689, is your subnet <IP_ADDRESS>?
[04:58] <beg1689> yes
[04:58] <beg1689> i tried a static IP, doesnt seem to make a difference
[04:58] <beg1689> i dont think there is a firewall problem, how can i check?
[04:58] <JN_Coward> is it possible to run mod_proxy_balancer under Apache2.0?
[04:58] <beg1689> wired connection works fine, this is wireless
[04:58] <laptop> arrenlex:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11444/
[04:58] <gatekeep> begl689: if you didn't install anything for it (which i dont think you did) you don't have to bother ... but to check iptables -L
[04:58] <eV64> beg1689, do you have a wep/wpa key or mac filtering on your router/ access point?
[04:58] <beg1689> no mac filter, just wep
[04:58] <beg1689> i checked the key several times, and other wireless devices connect fine
[04:58] <arrenlex> laptop: lol... that's not what I was asking for. Fine, I'll install the mplayer gui and help you, hold on.
[04:58] <eV64> beg1689, if wep is not working, it usually shows connectivity but nothing will work.
[04:58] <gatekeep> eV64: he is connected, because the AP returned an IP
[04:58] <eV64> gatekeep, oh, you're right
[04:58] <beg1689> i have another computer running ubuntu 6.10 connecting wirelessly, as well as an xbox with an adapter, a nDS
[04:59] <JN_Coward> mod_proxy_balancer under Apache2.0 possible or im?
[04:59] <arrenlex> laptop: This tab. Was that so hard? http://arrenlex.ls.la/screenshots/19895.png
[04:59] <laptop> arrenlex:  what were you asking for,
[04:59] <beg1689> what am i looking for in iptables -L that would cause a problem?
[04:59] <arrenlex> laptop: There, select "xv" like I have.
[04:59] <laptop> Yeah I found that tab
[05:00] <arrenlex> laptop: In the audio tab, select "alsa"
[05:00] <gatekeep> begl689: unless you played with it, it should return nothing but ACCEPT
[05:00] <laptop> okay
[05:00] <beg1689> yes it seems to return an IP but it looks like it gives an error the first two times: http://rafb.net/p/8tlL1y57.html
[05:01] <eV64> beg1689,  has this device worked under windows
[05:01] <beg1689> yes
[05:01] <beg1689> still does
[05:01] <gatekeep> begl689: iptables should return: http://rafb.net/p/Ph6W2j25.html
[05:01] <arrenlex> laptop: Does it play now?
[05:01] <beg1689> http://rafb.net/p/3CDKsG90.html
[05:01] <laptop> arrenlex:  wow, is there anything you can do?
[05:01] <beg1689> mine has a bunch of crap
[05:01] <gatekeep> begl689: its a firewall problem ... something is blocking ICMP
[05:01] <arrenlex> laptop: ouch :( don't be mean.
[05:02] <beg1689> ok.. so how can i clear all that out
[05:02] <laptop> Sorry
[05:02] <laptop> shit I meant CANT

[05:02] <laptop> hardly
[05:02] <laptop> thank you
[05:02] <arrenlex> laptop: Don't thank me yet, now we have to make your system actually use mplayer.
[05:02] <laptop> ahh
[05:02] <beg1689> oh i got it cleared.. turns out i installed firestarter awhile back and forgot about it
[05:02] <laptop> it plays
[05:03] <beg1689> ill try to connect now
[05:03] <arrenlex> laptop: Do you want to remove totem, or do you just want to change the settings?
[05:03] <laptop> yes
[05:03] <rsa_md5> ppl I have a problem with the libncurses5 package
[05:03] <rsa_md5> pls help me out
[05:03] <arrenlex> laptop: "Do you want option 1 or option 2?" "yes"
[05:03] <laptop> well seems that totem is useless....also I ahve a player called Helix and it is useless too...
[05:03] <beg1689> still there
[05:03] <laptop> remove.
[05:03] <gatekeep> begl689: odd

[05:04] <laptop> Remove....

[05:04] <beg1689> ?
[05:04] <beg1689> it works yay
[05:04] <laptop> and Helix seems useless too, any thouhgts
[05:04] <laptop> xmms is a player?
[05:04] <laptop> thoughts
[05:04] <gatekeep> begl689: told you firewall?
[05:04] <gatekeep> err :)
[05:04] <yell0w> laptop, for music
[05:04] <gatekeep> wow my typing is getting bad as the night wears on
[05:04] <laptop> plays mp3's?
[05:04] <beg1689> yea i opened firestarter and clicked disable, now iptables is empthy
[05:04] <yell0w> laptop, yes
[05:04] <arrenlex> laptop: xmms is a clone of winamp
[05:04] <gatekeep> begl689: all is well now?
[05:04] <beg1689> and im connected on wirless now
[05:04] <laptop> arrenlex:  can I do it through synaptics?
[05:04] <laptop> arrenlex:  cool.
[05:05] <yell0w> laptop, they all do, as long as you get the right codecs ;)
[05:05] <laptop> I like winamp
[05:05] <arrenlex> laptop: dpkg -l "*mplayer*" | grep ^ii | awk '{print $2}' | xargs sudo apt-get remove --purge -y
[05:05] <beg1689> thanks for the help
[05:05] <arrenlex> laptop: NO
[05:05] <gatekeep> np begl689 anytime
[05:05] <arrenlex> laptop: Don't run that, lol
[05:05] <laptop> dont run that?
[05:05] <laptop> okay
[05:05] <arrenlex> laptop: Run this instead: dpkg -l "*totem*" | grep ^ii | awk '{print $2}' | xargs sudo apt-get remove --purge -y
[05:05] <placebohigh> !ask Anyone know anything more about installing with an nvidia card? I installed ubuntu through the safe mode gui installer just fine, and the Ubuntu splash screen looks fine on startup, but once it begins to boot the screen goes messed up. As in random lines like the display is compeletely wrong. Any ideas?
[05:05] <eV64> beg1689, we all get ID10T errors occasionally. :)
[05:05] <eV64> make*
[05:05] <gatekeep> lol
[05:05] <gatekeep> id 10 t
[05:05] <gatekeep> lol
[05:05] <gatekeep> always loved that joke
[05:06] <gatekeep> so ev64: what release are you using Edgy?
[05:06] <eV64> yup, waiting for the official of feisty, i have enough trouble as is
[05:06] <gatekeep> lol
[05:06] <gatekeep> guess its just fiesty then
[05:06] <eV64> how long have you been on ubuntu?
[05:06] <gatekeep> but bcm43xx sucks BAD
[05:06] <cafuego_> arrenlex: awk ' /^ii/ {print $2}'
[05:06] <gatekeep> since Woary
[05:06] <eV64> yeah, stupid proprietary
[05:07] <ed1t> hello my wireless card is installed and i also have wireless network added....but it seems like my wireless radio is turned off....how do i turn it on?
[05:07] <yell0w> gatekeep, i just got bcm4218 up and running yesterday
[05:07] <yell0w> first try ;)
[05:07] <gatekeep> fiesty?
[05:07] <arrenlex> cafuego_: lol, these commands just keep getting shorter and shorter.
[05:07] <eV64> hah
[05:07] <eV64> ed1t, what card?
[05:07] <gatekeep> I got it working
[05:07] <gatekeep> that wasn't the problem
[05:07] <laptop> arrenlex:  that removed a lot
[05:07] <gatekeep> it was MAD slow
[05:07] <cafuego_> arrenlex: :-)  yeah, less piping == more speed i reckon.
[05:07] <arrenlex> laptop: What did it remove?
[05:07] <yell0w> gatekeep, oh well....
[05:07] <eV64> yell0w, just got mine today
[05:07] <eV64> working*
[05:07] <yell0w> gatekeep, i think it runs on b mode, so that's why it's slow
[05:07] <ed1t> eV64, Intel 2915ABG
[05:07] <cafuego_> arrenlex: He'll probably want to purge for status 'rc' as well.
[05:07] <arrenlex> cafuego_: Gasp, you get to save one program launch, that's almost half a nanosecond!!!
[05:07] <gatekeep> yea i think it does
[05:08] <yell0w> eV64, cool ;)
[05:08] <gatekeep> yell0w: yea it does, hence slowness .. but it was BAD slow ...
[05:08] <laptop> arrenlex:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11447/
[05:08] <dogmeat> which dir contains the daemon startup bash scripts, i.e. /etc/rc/httpd ?
[05:08] <yell0w> gatekeep, it was ok with me, not to bad
[05:08] <gatekeep> yell0w: we're talking about slower then 56k slow ... switched to ndiswrapper ... fast again ...
[05:08] <arrenlex> laptop: lol, you know, that was a bad idea.
[05:08] <gatekeep> yell0w: well it could be that my card is a newer release, requires 4.xx drivers
[05:08] <yell0w> gatekeep, what i'd really want is a new network-manager
[05:09] <gatekeep> ;)
[05:09] <laptop> arrenlex:  oh?
[05:09] <JN_Coward> is there an easy way to upgrade to Apache2.2 from 2.0?
[05:09] <yell0w> gatekeep, it's pretty decent speed on my 4318
[05:09] <arrenlex> laptop: Looks like random things depend on it... you'll want to "sudo apt-get install gedit" again. Tell me if that installs totem.
[05:09] <cafuego_> dogmeat: /etc/init.d
[05:09] <cafuego_> dogmeat: with symlinks in /etc/rc?.d/
[05:09] <arrenlex> laptop: You'll also probably want sudo apt-get install gtkwifi
[05:09] <laptop> okay
[05:09] <gatekeep> yell0w: well getting my wireless working wasn't my happy moment, getting my ATI X1300 w/ Xgl and partial 3D acceleration was
[05:09] <dogmeat> cafuego_: thanks
[05:09] <yell0w> gatekeep, i hear ya
[05:09] <yell0w> hehe
[05:10] <stiv2k> help
[05:10] <gatekeep> god damn ATI
[05:10] <Fizzbane> how do i install icons?
[05:10] <gatekeep> they must burn for their retardation
[05:10] <gatekeep> icons you say?
[05:10] <gatekeep> extract the icon package to a .icons in your home dir
[05:10] <laptop> Package gtkwifi is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[05:10] <laptop> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[05:10] <laptop> is only available from another source
[05:10] <laptop> E: Package gtkwifi has no installation candidate
[05:10] <gatekeep> then select it from the themes thingy
[05:14] (laptop/#ubuntu) arrenlex:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[05:14] (teenbeat/#ubuntu) i fel lik going for frisby party
[05:14] (laptop/#ubuntu) oooops
[05:15] (laptop/#ubuntu) http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/11448/
[05:15] (gatekeep/#ubuntu) ed1t: does it have the Fn - Fkey to turn on wireless
[05:15] (ed1t/#ubuntu) gatekeep, the wireless light on my laptop should be blinking....it blinked once when i installed network-manager and stuff
[05:15] (ed1t/#ubuntu) gatekeep, no
[05:15] (gatekeep/#ubuntu) odd
[05:15] (teenbeat/#ubuntu) ok
[05:15] <yell0w> teenbeat, do a reboot, when GRUB menu appears press "e" in the default entry boot
[05:16] <teenbeat> ok one moment
[05:16] <gatekeep> ed1t: im assuming you can't connect to any access points and the like
[05:16] <yell0w> teenbeat, append "init=/bin/sh" to the kernel options, and you shoot be booted into root shell
[05:16] <ed1t> gatekeep, correct
[05:16] <yell0w> teenbeat, from there, sudo adduser username blah blah blah....
[05:16] <gatekeep> ed1t: what wireless device did you say it was?
[05:16] <arrenlex> laptop: I would remove edgy-proposed if I were you. I don't like that line.
[05:17] <ed1t> gatekeep, Intel 2915ABG
[05:17] <yell0w> teenbeat, correction, don't really need sudo when you're already in a root shell
[05:17] <teenbeat> yell0w: i did im in the shell
[05:17] <yell0w> teenbeat, good,
[05:17] <ed1t> gatekeep, the network shows up in the network manager but its got a key with red wave signs by it
[05:17] <yell0w> now do adduser usernamethatyouwant
[05:17] <arrenlex> laptop:  sed -i "s|deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy-proposed|#deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy-proposed|g" /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:17] <teenbeat> i see root, quiet etc
[05:18] <laptop> okay
[05:18] <gatekeep> ed1t: usually means a locked WPA or WEP network
[05:18] <ed1t> im entering the right key.....i dont think its a key problem, its the wireless radio problem, it just wont blink
[05:18] <ed1t> gatekeep, ooo yea its WPA
[05:18] <bean-oh> can anyone tell me when herd 6 is getting released?
[05:18] <arrenlex> laptop: Oh, you'll need sudo on the front of that.
[05:18] <laptop> okay
[05:18] <yell0w> teenbeat, then set the passwd for both root/thatusername
[05:18] <ed1t> gatekeep, i bet if i re-do all the steps i did it will turn back on
[05:18] <ed1t> gatekeep, i followed http://ubuntu-tutorials.blogspot.com/2007/02/enable-wpa-wireless-access-point-in.html
[05:19] <teenbeat> yell0w: in wich part i see root, kernel, initrd
[05:19] <paozinho> I :make me a sandwich ! Brother: No ! I: sudo Make me a sandwich ! Brother: Yes
[05:19] <gatekeep> ed1t: you could try that... i would say if one of your neighbors has a AP near by see if you can connect real quick if you can its something you might have missed
[05:19] <jtraub> bean-oh, check bean-oh
[05:19] <laptop> arrenlex:  thanks
[05:19] <yell0w> teenbeat, are you in a root shell ?
[05:19] <laptop> arrenlex:  what should i do now?
[05:19] <hlm> herd 6 should be released around April 6
[05:19] <arrenlex> paozinho: I've seen that before. xD
[05:19] <jtraub> bean-oh, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyReleaseSchedule
[05:19] <teenbeat> yell0w: in grub i pressed once e
[05:19] <gatekeep> ed1t: thats assuming there are any unsecured AP's near by
[05:19] <arrenlex> laptop: Hmm... do you know how to change what application files open with when you double-click on them?
[05:20] <bean-oh> jtraub, thanks! i was looking for something like that
[05:20] <ed1t> gatekeep, none coz its a university network
[05:20] <nn531> can anyone in here direct me towards some desklets?  In component universe, is optional. Version 1.4.2-1 (edgy), package size 118 kB, installed size 376 kB
[05:20] <bean-oh> wanted to try feisty, but looking at herd 1-5 releases, it looks like another version was due soon,
[05:20] <teenbeat> yell0w: do i have to press e again
[05:20] <BigCanOfTuna> I killed my default groups off my main user, now I can't sudo into root. How do I get to root and restore my groups?
[05:20] <rukos> how do I know if I'm running a 64 bit kernel?
[05:20] <arrenlex> rukos: uname -r
[05:20] <eV64> BETA TOMORROW :)
[05:20] <bruenig> bean-oh, you can get nightly snapshots
[05:20] <icicled> BigCanOfTuna, use a live cd & edit the /etc/group file
[05:20] <icicled> not sure how else you can
[05:21] <gatekeep> ev64: for what?
[05:21] <eV64> gatekeep, feisty
[05:21] <gatekeep> ed1t: try reloading dbus again according to that article ...
[05:21] <gatekeep> ev64: bah beta!
[05:21] <jtraub> rukos, uname -r
[05:21] <BigCanOfTuna> icicled: I know in Redhat you could go to init level one...not sure if that makes sense in Ubuntu.
[05:21] <eV64> gatekeep, and os x leopard comes out 24th (according to rumors)
[05:21] <J-_> With Ubuntu Studio coming this april, will I be able to install it just like any Ubuntu DM?
[05:21] <paozinho> arrenlex: Good not ? :P
[05:21] <ed1t> gatekeep, k
[05:21] <gatekeep> ev64: fiesty is cool
[05:21] <gatekeep> ev64: it really is
[05:21] <bruenig> J-_, DM?
[05:21] <J-_> Desktop Manager.
[05:22] <arrenlex> paozinho: It doesn't really make sense to me.
[05:22] <eV64> gatekeep, i may get the beta
[05:22] <rukos> arrenlex : how do I know?  if it doesn't say 64 somewhere, it's not?
[05:22] <icicled> BigCanOfTuna, you can reboot & in grub there should be some option for rescue
[05:22] <teenbeat> yell0w: or do i need to make new line
[05:22] <bruenig> J-_, I doubt studio has its own desktop manager
[05:22] <gatekeep> ev64: have fun :)
[05:22] <arrenlex> rukos: What does it say?
[05:22] <icicled> BigCanOfTuna, you might try that
[05:22] <eV64> gatekeep, what are the new features/ what does taht mean :-o
[05:22] <bruenig> J-_, probably just gnome with a different selection of apps
[05:22] <BigCanOfTuna> icicled: Thanks dude.
[05:22] <arrenlex> rukos: 64-bit kernels will specify "amd64"
[05:22] <gatekeep> ev64: if you need to be bailed out of trouble i might be around
[05:22] <icicled> np
[05:22] <bean-oh> heh, if i get a new mac book, i'll be using a lot less ubuntu :(
[05:22] <yell0w> teenbeat, yes, press o, then e to edit that new line, then put in init=/bin/sh
[05:22] <rukos> arrenlex: 2.6.17-10-generic
[05:22] <eV64> gatekeep, thanks
[05:22] <arrenlex> rukos: No
[05:22] <teenbeat> yell0w:ok
[05:22] <Seek026> I upgraded my nvidia driver and now when I start beryl the Window title bars are gone! does anyone know how to fix this?
[05:22] <icicled> if you get a macbook you will be spending too much money, go buy a dell :P
[05:23] <bruenig> thinkpad
[05:23] <J-_> hmm ok
[05:23] <gatekeep> ev64: features?? comes with Compviz and crap by default, Xorg 7.1 i have to check a bunch of crap been playing like mad ... too much to list really
[05:23] <bean-oh> eew dell.
[05:23] <ed1t> gatekeep, nothing
[05:23] <paozinho> arrenlex: why doesn't make sense ? oO!
[05:23] <paozinho> arrenlex: its a good linux joke :P
[05:23] <gatekeep> ed1t: hmmm
[05:23] <ed1t> gatekeep, still wireless light doesnt blink
[05:23] <bruenig> gatekeep, are you sure by default, I read they backed off on that by default, easy to enable, but not default
[05:23] <BigCanOfTuna> bean-oh: Get the macbook...ubuntu works great in Parallels!
[05:23] <ed1t> gatekeep, it blinked once...never after
[05:23] <rukos> arrenlex: do you think I can just recompile the kernel, or do you think it's easiest to just install a 64 bit ubuntu (I just need to be able to compile and run a 64 bit app.)
[05:23] <jtraub> gatekeep, i comes with preinstalled Compyz?
[05:23] <bean-oh> BigCanOfTuna, i was planning on it.
[05:23] <teenbeat> yell0w: ok i did
[05:23] <arrenlex> rukos: Why do you need 64-bit?
[05:23] <gatekeep> bah i shouldn't have spoken
[05:23] <gatekeep> yes it seems to
[05:24] <bruenig> !fiesty
[05:24] <ubotu> The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn"), it should be released in April 2007. At the moment it is alpha.

[05:24] <gatekeep> System -> Prefs -> Desktop Effects
[05:24] <eV64> gatekeep, too much to keep up with! btw. did i ask you about my problem with network-manager-gnome
[05:24] <gatekeep> Wobbly Windows :)
[05:24] <gatekeep> beryl is still better though
[05:24] <laptop> arrenlex:  no
[05:24] <jtraub> Shit..
[05:24] <gatekeep> brunenig: it comes with compviz by default, its off however
[05:24] <arrenlex> rukos: o_O mmhmm. I don't know. In debian it is easy, but ubuntu does it differently.
[05:24] <gatekeep> jtraub: yes it does
[05:25] <rukos> arrenlex: alright, thanks
[05:25] <arrenlex> laptop: Oh. Well good luck figuring it out, since I don't run gnome ^^ Try opening the filemanager and going to the desktop, rightclicking on the movie and seeing if you can configure the application it opens with in properties.
[05:25] <gatekeep> ed1t: have you tried rebooting?
[05:25] <arrenlex> laptop: If not, someone's bound to help you on the channel if you ask.
[05:25] <bruenig> gatekeep, yeah it says composite by default was deferred, https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/composite-by-default
[05:25] <laptop> okay
[05:25] <laptop> arrenlex:  thanks for your help.
[05:25] <arrenlex> laptop: yw...
[05:26] <gatekeep> bruenig: interesting cuz Herd 5 still has the compositing manager
[05:26] <laptop> linux is like a puzzle
[05:26] <rukos> arrenlex: also, does AMD64 also apply to intel's x86 64 bit architecture?
[05:26] <saviles> what/where can i get the "mipsel-linux-gcc" package?
[05:26] <bruenig> gatekeep, however, accelerated x is enabled. So presumably installing compiz and beryl should be simple
[05:26] <teenbeat> yell0w: what do i do next
[05:26] <ed1t> gatekeep, i did
[05:26] <arrenlex> laptop: Oh, you might want to set the mplayer config like this, for greater compatiblity: http://arrenlex.ls.la/mplayer-plugin.png
[05:26] <bean-oh> feisty beta worth jumping to?
[05:26] <paozinho> !br
[05:26] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigado.
[05:26] <arrenlex> laptop: (to get to that screen, go to any website that starts mplayer in firefox, and right-click on it, go to properties\optioons.
[05:26] <gatekeep> bruenig: they may have turned of Composite from the way it was defaulted on but im not sure, due to my ATI situation i need it off anyway
[05:27] <paozinho> !dapper
[05:27] <ubotu> dapper is the 4th release of Ubuntu.  Version 6.06 LTS, codename "Dapper Drake".
[05:27] <arrenlex> rukos: Yes.
[05:27] <Kronuz> hello
[05:27] <laptop> arrenlex:  cool
[05:27] <paozinho> !edgy
[05:27] <ubotu> Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) is the latest version of Ubuntu. Upgrading to Edgy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades - Downloading: http://www.ubuntu.com/download - Release Notes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseNotes
[05:27] <gatekeep> bruenig: accelerated X ... is nice but im stuck with Xgl which isn't too bad
[05:27] <bruenig> gatekeep, ok, well anyways no compiz and beryl
[05:28] <rukos> arrenlex: thanks a lot
[05:28] <gatekeep> bruenig: hmmm ... well must be just Herd 5 that comes with it default
[05:28] <bruenig> gatekeep, did you try herd 5
[05:28] <gatekeep> bruenig: i mean it is installed default but not enabled
[05:28] <Kronuz> hey, can someone please help me a bit... I need someone to strace gnome-calculator: 'strace -tt -T gnome-calculator &> gnome-calculator.strace' and pastebin the gnome-calculator.strace file somewhere
[05:28] <gatekeep> bruenig: i have Herd 4 and 5 on disc
[05:28] <Kronuz> I'm trying to figure out why my gnome apps are taking too long to load
[05:28] <laptop> arrenlex:  Youre right its in properties...
[05:28] <bruenig> gatekeep, well seems odd that it would be deferred and be on those disks
[05:28] <gatekeep> bruenig: this laptop im on was installed Herd 5 and had compiz installed
[05:28] <arrenlex> laptop: I'm always right.

[05:29] <gatekeep> bruenig: who knows ... but its easy enough to install
[05:29] <ed1t> gatekeep, its a wireless radio.....which is off
[05:29] <gatekeep> ed1t: if you do iwlist eth1 scan in a terminal what comes up?
[05:29] <Kronuz> I found someone using Debian and with a much slower computer than the one I've got and the gnome apps (including gnome-calculator) open immediately in his box, while in my Ubuntu is taking a second or a second and a half to open (the calculator)
[05:30] <gatekeep> ed1t: for that matter is the list under Wireless Networks populated?
[05:30] <diyerxa> Hello. Can anyone give me advice on how to upgrade to GNOME 2.18 on Edgy?
[05:30] <Kronuz> so I figure there must be either a misconfiguration in my box or in Ubuntu, somewhere....
[05:30] <arrenlex> Kronuz: (k)ubuntu felt really slow for me too when I used it...
[05:30] <gatekeep> to all: brb
[05:30] <teenbeat> yell0w: how do i go further
[05:30] <Kronuz> arrenlex, what are you using now?
[05:31] <eV64> diyerxa, probably easiest to do it through synaptic
[05:31] <arrenlex> Kronuz: Debian. It owns my soul.
[05:31] <Kronuz> ^_^
[05:31] <Kronuz> arrenlex, I still haven't figured how to install debian in my FakeRAID :(
[05:31] <Kronuz> arrenlex, it doesn't either have dmraid, and I don't know how to load it from the installation
[05:31] <teenbeat> yell0w: i put init line there what do i do next
[05:32] <ed1t> gatekeep, it prints out a list
[05:32] <ed1t> with cell0, cell1....
[05:32] <gatekeep> ed1t: then the radio has to be on
[05:32] <ed1t> gatekeep, what else could be wrong then?
[05:33] <arrenlex> Kronuz: Quick google: I bought a couple of 120GB SATA drives on Friday, and I thought why not use the nVidia FakeRAID on my mobo. Turns out that only Gentoo and Fedora 5 have support for FakeRAID on the install media itself.
[05:33] <arrenlex> Kronuz: Hence I had to go looking for details on installing Debian/Ubuntu on FakeRAID. Turns out that while dmraid (the software that provides support for FakeRAID has not been integrated with the installer, but is in the repositories, and it is possible to get an installation up and running somehow.
[05:33] <teenbeat> yell0w: do i make new line for adduser
[05:33] <arrenlex> Kronuz: http://people.ubuntu-in.org/~soumyadip/blog/index.php?/archives/25-The-case-for-FakeRAID-support-in-Linux-installers.html (if it helps)
[05:33] <gatekeep> ed1t: perhaps the WPA configuration but im not an expert on that
[05:33] <diyerxa> eV64: i've been trying, even after changing repositories to feisty. just can't seem to narrow down which GNOME files I need specifically
[05:34] <Kronuz> arrenlex, and FreeBSD ;)
[05:34] <teenbeat> yell0w: and what is the line for password
[05:34] <yellow> teenbeat,  sorry, i meant edit the kernel line and put init=/bin/sh in there  at the end of that kernel line (or init=/bin/bash), then reboot
[05:34] <Kronuz> arrenlex, will it be the same as in Ubuntu?
[05:34] <teenbeat> ok
[05:35] <arrenlex> Kronuz: Pft, freeBSD. No one without buttons who is capable of serving webpages runs freeBSD.
[05:35] <ed1t> gatekeep, doesnt it ask for keyring password when its about to connect?
[05:35] <ed1t> gatekeep, coz when i first installed it....it asked for a keyring and i entered the password
[05:35] <gatekeep> ed1t: if the password for the network is in the keyring
[05:35] <ed1t> i see that the entey is there
[05:35] <shmeelAway> if i'm on a laptop and i get a monitor, is it easy to set up dual monitor w/ a VGA connection? and is it possible for me to use just one of the monitors instead of both at any point?
[05:35] <arrenlex> Kronuz: Dunno. Debian and ubuntu are so close that I help out in this channel all the time without any problems, I just have to double-check the packages in packages.ubuntu.com, but it's almost always the same.
[05:36] <yellow> yell0w, then boot*
[05:36] <Centaur5> Can I have a local repository, an apt-get proxy, and configure an Ubuntu install over the network on the same machine or would things conflict with all those packages?
[05:36] <Kronuz> arrenlex, I wonder why Ubuntu is slower tho'
[05:36] <Kronuz> (it's so easy to install and "nice")
[05:36] <arrenlex> Kronuz: *shrug* some misconfiguration somewhere? I don't know...
[05:36] <Kronuz> yeah, must be
[05:36] <bogus> Can someone possibly help me get my wireless adapter to work please?
[05:36] <teenbeat> yell0w: ok
[05:36] <Kronuz> who knows...
[05:37] <greig_> hi can anyone help me with wine ?
[05:37] <teenbeat> yell0w: ok now ive got busybox
[05:37] <arrenlex> Kronuz: I guess I'm just used to the debian-installer... I love it. It's so straightforward. The LiveCD never starts for me anyway. Not on two of my four machines, anyway.
[05:37] <arrenlex> !ask | greig_
[05:37] <ubotu> greig_: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:37] <eV64> diyerxa, it should tell you.
[05:37] <teenbeat> yell0w: whats next
[05:37] <ed1t> gatekeep, all it does is look for ip configuration and those 2 blue lights....never turns into green
[05:37] <yellow> teenbeat, when you're done booting you should get root@(none) (if init=/bin/bash is what's putted at the end of kernel line)
[05:37] <jaamarti> sup eV64
[05:37] <jaamarti> how was physics?
[05:37] <Crescendo> I have a friend who is on the phone with me, trying to get a new install of Ubuntu to connect to an unencrypted wireless network - and so far is unsuccessful - what can I do to troubleshoot?
[05:38] <bogus> I've got a Netgear WG111T, and I can't get it to work
[05:38] <eV64> jaamarti, hey
[05:38] <gatekeep> ed1t: you mean the net manager turns to those 2 lights and looks like its working but never connects
[05:38] <yellow> teenbeat, then do passwd and change the root password, then reboot back to normal and login as root and do whatever
[05:38] <teenbeat> yell0w: pwd right
[05:38] <ed1t> gatekeep, yes....like u know its blue when its trying to connect
[05:38] <bogus> I've installed ndiswrapper 1.38 and installed the appropriate drivers, and they show in -l, but wlan0 is missing entirely
[05:38] <yellow> gatekeep, gahhhh the thing keeps running up and down and never connects
[05:38] <yellow> ;(
[05:38] <Kronuz> arrenlex, if it wasn't for the slow start of my apps I'd stay with Ubuntu (but you really can tell it's slower, honestly... it's a noticeable difference)
[05:38] <yellow> gatekeep, it was working yesterday
[05:39] <gatekeep> ... omg
[05:39] <gatekeep> lol
[05:39] <yellow> teenbeat, passwd
[05:39] <teenbeat> yell0w: it does has something cant access tty :jobcontrol turned off
[05:39] <eV64> jaamarti, meh, it was only a first draft so i dont really care, i'm pwning that class anyways
[05:39] <ed1t> gatekeep, how do u remove something? im gonna try to remote network-manager and reinstall it
[05:39] <gatekeep> ed1t: the password might have been typed wrong or its a network thing with the Uni
[05:39] <teenbeat> he gives not found
[05:39] <gatekeep> ed1t: a package? in the terminal apt-get remove
[05:40] <yellow> gatekeep, does roaming from one network to another cause this behavior ?
[05:40] <eV64> bogus, it usually shows up as eth0, eth1, or eth2, etc
[05:40] <gatekeep> yellow: it might
[05:40] <ed1t> gatekeep, no its not network....coz i installed ubuntu like 2 months ago and it worked perfect in 1st try
[05:40] <ed1t> lemme reinstall
[05:40] <yellow> gatekeep, after a reboot ?
[05:40] <gatekeep> yellow: no usually after a reboot the wireless seems to work (for me at least)
[05:40] <gatekeep> yellow: and actually
[05:40] <Jabba69> 'lo all!
[05:40] <yellow> gatekeep,  don't tell me i got to purge nm and install it again
[05:40] <yellow> garrgh
[05:41] <gatekeep> yellow: if you can modprobe -r unload and modprobe the driver back in it usually works fine
[05:41] <shmeelAway> if i'm on a laptop and i get a monitor, is it easy to set up dual monitor w/ a VGA connection? and is it possible for me to use just one of the monitors instead of both at any point? like if i wated to use just my laptop monitor or just the other monitor could i change that easily?
[05:41] <yellow> gatekeep, which driver would that be ?
[05:41] <Crescendo> I have a friend who is on the phone with me, trying to get a new install of Ubuntu to connect to an unencrypted wireless network - and so far is unsuccessful - what can I do to troubleshoot?
[05:41] <gatekeep> yellow: what network card are you using?
[05:41] <yellow> 4318
[05:41] <gatekeep> bcm43xx
[05:41] <Kronuz> arrenlex, can you download modules during the debian installation?
[05:41] <Jabba69> crescendo: what laptop, network card?
[05:41] <gatekeep> so
[05:41] <gatekeep> yellow:
[05:42] <gatekeep> yellow: modprobe -r bcm43xx && modprobe bcm43xx
[05:42] <Crescendo> HP pavilion 5000 I think?  Unsure of the card right now
[05:42] <yellow> gatekeep, will try that
[05:42] <Jabba69> yellow: you using a dell?
[05:42] <arrenlex> Kronuz: Dunno... never needed to. I know it asks you what modules to load if you use the "expert" option, but I have no idea how extensive that is and have never used it.
[05:42] <Kronuz> arrenlex, I did that of what the Ubuntu article explains about FakeRAID but in debian I don't know how to do it, 'cause it's not a live system on which you can get dmraid and load it
[05:42] <teenbeat> yell0w: he doesnt know the command
[05:42] <teenbeat> passwd: not found
[05:42] <yellow> Jabba69, compaq
[05:42] <Jabba69> hmm...
[05:43] <berto-> has anyone had problems with atd and ldap-based authentication using pam_ldap ?
[05:43] <nn531> !adesklets
[05:43] <ubotu> adesklets: interactive Imlib2 console for the X Window System. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.0-2 (edgy), package size 197 kB, installed size 544 kB
[05:43] <bogus> I know, none of those are my wireless adapter
 lsusb lists it as Bus 3, it definately sees that it's there
 but network manager doesn't see anything other than my wired connection on eth1
[05:43] <berto-> when i add an at job, it just hangs.
[05:43] <nn531> anyone know anything about adesklets?
[05:43] <Jabba69> yellow: I got the 1390 working on my dell, was a pain..
[05:43] <giskardd> is there a way to switch edgy 6.10 from adm64 to 686 with only the repos on the CD? i'm having trouble finding a 64 bit ndiswrapper driver for my wireless card.
[05:43] <arrenlex> Kronuz: Actually, you could always alt-f# over to a terminal and install the package manually... that's definitely possible.
[05:43] <Jabba69> yellow:  I used network manager...it's awesome..
[05:43] <teenbeat> i think im going to reinstall again
[05:44] <yellow> teenbeat, one sec
[05:44] <icicled> reinstall :o
[05:44] <goosfraba4u> Hey guys, my MyBook usb HD just came in! How can I mount the darn thing? (its plugged in, but I can't seem to detect it)
[05:44] <icicled> that's not a word allowed in the linuxy world :P
[05:44] <Kronuz> arrenlex, but how :S
[05:44] <goosfraba4u> everyone writes: mount /dev/sda1, but I have no sda1 in /dev
[05:44] <Kronuz> arrenlex, using apt-get ?
[05:44] <yellow> icicled, he lost all passwords
[05:44] <berto-> goosfraba4u: run dmesg and see what device it was assigned.
[05:44] <arrenlex> Kronuz: Yes... you'd probably need to chroot to /target.
[05:45] <gatekeep> yellow: ever hear of single user mode ;)
[05:45] <icicled> so, reboot using a live cd & chroot into the system & use passwd
[05:45] <kcbanner> Is it possible to have SSH listen on 2 ports?!!?
[05:45] <Kronuz> ... I'll have to boot to try it out...
[05:45] <genii> Yes
[05:45] <berto-> kcbanner: yes, /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[05:45] <yellow> gatekeep,  ?
[05:45] <icicled> but single user requires a password, last time i tried it
[05:45] <berto-> add a Port line towards the top
[05:45] <teenbeat> ok
[05:45] <kcbanner> berto-, yes. I have tried adding Port 22, 8023 but no go
[05:45] <gatekeep> ...
[05:45] <bogus> I can't find any device listed that looks like my wireless adapter
[05:45] <ant> dmesg | grep sda
[05:45] <icicled> live cd + chroot + passwd = win!
[05:45] <berto-> kcbanner: /etc/init.d/ssh restart
[05:45] <gatekeep> icicled: try addint init 1 to the end of the kernel options
[05:45] <Kronuz> arrenlex, what about repositories and stuff, could you please help me find the dmraid 1.0.0 rc13 ?
[05:45] <icicled> ah ok
[05:45] <kcbanner> berto-, malformed PORT line it says
[05:45] <icicled> that just might do the trick
[05:45] <berto-> kcbanner: no no.
[05:45] <berto-> Port 22
[05:45] <berto-> Port 82342
[05:46] <kcbanner> Oh
[05:46] <icicled> yellow, listen to gatekeep
[05:46] <gatekeep> icicled: it works on almost every distro too not just ubuntu
[05:46] <berto-> two lines one on top of the next
[05:46] <arrenlex> Kronuz: It's in the main repositories. http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?searchon=names&subword=1&version=all&release=all&keywords=dmraid&sourceid=mozilla-search
[05:46] <icicled> good to know gatekeep, thanks
[05:46] <genii> a line for each port
[05:46] <yellow> gatekeep, addin init1 ?
[05:46] <gatekeep> no
[05:46] <gatekeep> yellow: add init 1
[05:46] <Kronuz> arrenlex, so it should work if I just issue apt-get in the terminal then?
[05:46] <bogus> Can anyone please help me?  I'll be completely without access after tonight
[05:46] <icicled> yellow, have a space between
[05:46] <goosfraba4u> Guys, how do I mount an external usb drive (MyBook)
[05:46] <goosfraba4u> ?
[05:46] <gatekeep> id also do it at the grub menu when you reboot
[05:47] <gatekeep> not in the grub conf file
[05:47] <yellow> gatekeep, teenbeat has this problem, i told him to add in init=/bin/bash
[05:47] <greig_> has anyone had problems with Wine, when install a game with more that one cd and unable to insert the second cd?
[05:47] <berto-> goosfraba4u: did you run dmesg?
[05:47] <genii> kcbanner: See http://www.latenightpc.com/blog/archives/2006/10/11/running-an-ssh-server-on-multiple-ports/ for examples
[05:47] <icicled> goosfraba4u, dmesg | grep sd*: ?
[05:47] <arrenlex> Kronuz: I don't recall how complicated it is... how good are you with apt?
[05:47] <Kronuz> arrenlex, and what's that about udeb (debian installer vs admin) ?
[05:47] <neozen> meep
[05:47] <ant> bogus : use iwconfig to find your wireless interface
[05:47] <Crescendo> What's the current IPv6 fix?
[05:47] <giskardd> is there a way to switch edgy 6.10 from adm64 to 686 with only the repos on the CD? i'm having trouble finding a 64 bit ndiswrapper driver for my wireless card.\
[05:47] <icicled> goosfraba4u, or dmesg | grep hd*: ?
[05:47] <Kronuz> arrenlex, I'm rather new :S
[05:47] <Kronuz> arrenlex, but I'm a fast learner
[05:47] <yellow> gatekeep, but that doesn't help help.
[05:47] <arrenlex> Kronuz: Oh... you probably shouldn't do this then. It can get mighty confusing if you don't have your head securely wrapped around chroots.
[05:47] <bogus> ant: it isn't listed there
[05:48] <ant> bogus : then you need drivers
[05:48] <gatekeep> yellow: apparently not
[05:48] <ant> bogus : what card do you have?
[05:48] <gatekeep> yellow: init 1 will save most of the time
[05:48] <arrenlex> Kronuz: udeb packages are for inclusion in the debian-installer. Its existence makes me think dmraid might already be integrated, maybe in the nightly snapshots?
[05:48] <gatekeep> yellow: when that fails (and im sure there is a distro where it will), use the live cd
[05:48] <bogus> ant: Netgear WG111T
[05:48] <nn531> why isnt my adesklets working?
[05:48] <bogus> ant: I have installed the drivers, and they show as being present with hardware present
[05:48] <gatekeep> folks ill be back in oh 15 min or so
[05:48] <Kronuz> arrenlex, is there a way to verify if it has?
[05:49] <yellow> teenbeat, turn out i was wrong, listen to gatekeep, do the same thing, but instead of init=/bin/bash, put in  there init 1
[05:49] <neozen> arrenlex: that'd be me.... chroots are still magic beasties which should be avoided for me
[05:49] <goosfraba4u> icicled: (1)  low speed USB device using uhci_hcd;  (2)  USB HID v1.10 Device [HID 0566:3002]
[05:49] <arrenlex> neozen: lol... yeah, they can get hairy at times.
[05:49] <Centaur5> Can anybody make some recommendations for the best way to have Ubuntu installed on new machines?
[05:49] <ant> bogus : how do they show as being present?
[05:49] <arrenlex> Kronuz: I really don't know anything about this issue... sorry.
[05:49] <Kronuz> arrenlex, I got the one at http://www.us.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/
[05:49] <icicled> goosfraba4u, strange, do 'sudo rmmod uhcd_hcd'
[05:49] <saviles> does anyone know where i can get the "mipsel-linux-gcc" package?
[05:49] <neozen> Centaur5: yeah.... get decent hardware in the boxen
[05:49] <icicled> then it should set it in high-speed mode
[05:49] <bogus> ant: ndiswrapper -l returns that info
[05:49] <Jabba69> Centaur5: stick in the disk and boot
[05:50] <yellow> nm's still acting up ;(
[05:50] <Kronuz> is that the RC2 the one I got
[05:50] <goosfraba4u> icicled: i also have "hdd: tray open"; "end_request: I/O error, dev hdd, sector 152"
[05:50] <ScreamingIke> does anyone have familiarity with administrating the MUD servers available in the main repos? i'm just looking for some hand holding. they're not well documented.
[05:50] <icicled> tray open?
[05:50] <Jabba69> yellow: you using network manager.
[05:50] <teenbeat> ok
[05:50] <Kronuz> :(
[05:50] <icicled> thats your cdrom most likely
[05:50] <yellow> Jabba69, yes
[05:50] <Jabba69> yellow: are you using ndis wrapper?
[05:50] <Centaur5> Okay, let me rephrase that. The most efficient way to install it on new machines being sold to people to save time configuring and downloading updates.
[05:50] <yellow> Jabba69, maybe i need to reinstall it ?
[05:50] <yellow> Jabba69, no, firmware
[05:51] <n-iCe> WHere is the xmms folder? i want to move one skin there
[05:51] <ant> bogus : hold up
