[01:42] <Slaryn> And in my network info, I've got a high number of reception errors under packets received
[01:42] <wweasel> alright
[01:42] <BSoDirl> Slaryn: probably a hw firewall behind the router.
[01:42] <BSoDirl> so no one 'hax' their wireless network.
[01:43] <wweasel> BSoDirl, snoops: do you guys know? how would I do this grub resolution thing?
[01:43] <Slaryn> I doubt that, because this same card and laptop I've used perfectly fine with Windows BSoDirl
[01:43] <BSoDirl> its the vga=<something> option
[01:43] <BSoDirl> Hm.
[01:43] <Slaryn> So I know the card is fine
[01:43] <BSoDirl> did you set up a firewall on your laptop?
[01:43] <Slaryn> It's something with Ubuntu
[01:43] <BSoDirl> :S
[01:43] <CarlFK> Slaryn: what card?
[01:43] <Slaryn> Nope
[01:43] <BSoDirl> Hm..
[01:43] <The_Fonz> everytime i try to install it gets to 66% and then gives me an error message
[01:43] <BSoDirl> no aim huh?
[01:43] <The_Fonz> can someone help me with the installation process?
[01:43] <Slaryn> It's a D-Link AirPlus DWL-G650+, Atheras chipset I believe
[01:43] <snoops> take a look at vesafb wweasel
[01:44] <snoops> I found a big guide doing a lot more.. if you want that
[01:44] <Slaryn> Yeah BSoDirl, no AIM/MSN... but IRC?
[01:44] <BSoDirl> im useless then sorry :*{
[01:44] <Slaryn> o_O It's so random.
[01:44] <kaaaatoooo> slaryn, i got a similar problem
[01:44] <BSoDirl> but youve used aim on that particular network before?
[01:44] <Slaryn> Yes
[01:44] <wweasel> snoops: vesafb? I could look at the guide
[01:44] <Slaryn> And DC++, and google.com....
[01:44] <CarlFK> Slaryn: I have one of those - mine works fine :) - I think there are relly 4 revisions - check the d-link web site - they show pictures of each version
[01:44] <Slaryn> I tried ndiswrapper-ing the drivers on it, still no luck
[01:45] <Slaryn> kaaaatoooob, how'd you fix it?
[01:45] <CarlFK> Slaryn: mine is not an Atheras
[01:45] <BSoDirl> only thing I can figure is some port is closed on your laptop in linux or... the people who own the router put something behind it :[
[01:45] <kaaaatoooo> i can go to google.de but not to sites i never PINGed before :)
[01:45] <kaaaatoooo> its kinda weird
[01:45] <Slaryn> Hmmm I can ping them all fine
[01:45] <Slaryn> I get responses to google.com pings
[01:45] <Slaryn> But timeouts when I firefox them
[01:46] <BSoDirl> ugh
[01:46] <Slaryn> BSoDirl: where do I check these port settings?
[01:46] <Slaryn> Or how could that work out?
[01:46] <kaaaatoooo> after that wait a moment and retry by clicking on go again
[01:46] <wweasel> Ng, snoops, BSoDirl: Thank you all so much.
[01:46] <BSoDirl> im useless in this situation
[01:46] <BSoDirl> sorry i couldnt help :*{
[01:46] <Slaryn> ;) No problem, thanks anyways
[01:46] <Slaryn> kaaaatoooo, nothing still
[01:47] <CarlFK> Slaryn: tail -f /var/log/messages - see if anything interesting shows when you have problems
[01:47] <BSoDirl> you could nmap yourself lol
[01:47] <vincenz> I installed enigmail for thunderbird and now when I launch thunderbird I get this:
[01:47] <BSoDirl> scan all your own ports, and figure out whats up
[01:47] <vincenz> . /usr/lib/mozilla-thunderbird/mozilla-thunderbird-bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/mozilla-thunderbird/components/libxremote_client.so: undefined symbol: _Z20NS_NewGenericModule2P12nsModuleInfoPP9nsIModule
[01:48] <snoops> wweasel http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=203093 <- sounds alright.. for setting the uspash resolution.. adding vga=numberfromchart to your /boot/grub/menu.lst
[01:48] <Slaryn> CarlFX I got some of these
[01:48] <Slaryn> Jun 27 04:29:57 localhost -- MARK --
[01:48] <Slaryn> Jun 27 04:44:33 localhost exiting on signal 15

[01:49] <Slaryn> Dunno what they mean though.
[01:49] <Ng> you can ignore those
[01:50] <CarlFK> Slaryn: that is 'normal' - did you browse to google and have problems?
[01:50] <Slaryn> Yes
[01:50] <Slaryn> I can't access google.com, or a few other sites.  And as I said, no AIM/MSN, only IRC.
[01:50] <Slaryn> Might it have something to do with types of packets?
[01:51] <CarlFK> Slaryn: did you try google while the tail -f was going?
[01:51] <vincenz> I found a solution
[01:51] <Slaryn> Oh, no :p
[01:51] <Slaryn> One moment
[01:51] <Slaryn> vincenz ?
[01:52] <Slaryn> No nothing comes up, CarlFX
[01:52] <wildekek> Slaryn: : "a few other sites", does this mean a few sites *are* working? if so, it could it be your dns settings?
[01:52] <Slaryn> wildekek yes some sites do work
[01:52] <Slaryn> And I don't know about my DNS settings :p
[01:53] <Slaryn> It's on DHCP, I know that
[01:53] <Slaryn> Static IP kills the whole thing
[01:53] <vincenz> Slaryn: was referring to my problem
[01:53] <ajax4> later guys
[01:53] <Slaryn> Oh, sorry.  ;)
[01:54] <wildekek> Slaryn: then you probably also get your dns trough dhcp...do other machines work on the same network trough dhcp?
[01:54] <Slaryn> wildekek: I'm not sure, the only other machines on this network would be people in their hotel rooms.... and at 4:54am not really at liberty to ask them ;D
[01:54] <BSoDirl> REALLY hopes this S3 DRi stuff works.
[01:55] <CarlFK> Slaryn: if static kills it, then you probably aren't setting something right - which is probably what is causing your current problem
[01:55] <Slaryn> How should I set it?
[01:55] <BSoDirl> Slaryn: the admin coulda filtered IPs through one of the DNS servers, ya never know about those shady netadmins..
[01:55] <CarlFK> Slaryn: 'right' :)
[01:56] <Slaryn> CarlFX something about this doesn't seem right: Received packets: 93441, Reception errors: 32927
[01:56] <ajayc> ^richiefrich,hi
[01:56] <BSoDirl> cat /etc/resolv.conf
[01:56] <Slaryn> BSoDirl - problem with that is, it worked when Windows was on this machine.  :/
[01:56] <CarlFK> Slaryn: hotell - my guess is there connection is overloaded - but you did sayit woks in win...
[01:56] <BSoDirl> that's got your dns settings
[01:56] <gharz> guys, how can i terminate Evolution? even if i click 'x' or select 'File->Quit' it doesn't close.
[01:56] <^richiefrich> ajayc hello
[01:56] <BSoDirl> maybe windows does your dns lookups different :S
[01:56] <BSoDirl> hell i dunno
[01:56] <Slaryn> :/
[01:56] <BSoDirl> i stay lost these days..
[01:57] <biscon> Slaryn: have you tried requestion a new lease from the DHCP server?
[01:57] <Slaryn> There are only like 30 people in this little hotel I work at, and I've been trying 11pm-now 5am
[01:57] <Slaryn> biscon no, how do I do that?
[01:58] <biscon> sudo dhclient3 eth0
[01:58] <BSoDirl> try ifconfig wlan0 down           then ifconfig wlan0 up, assuming your conn. is through wlan0
[01:58] <Slaryn> It's on ath0, I'll try it
[01:58] <BSoDirl> must be a slow night :>
[01:58] <CarlFK> BSoDirl: heh
[01:59] <BSoDirl> i thought you could just toggle it, shows how much i know ..
[01:59] <Slaryn> Ack, Copy and Close Tab are way too close together
[01:59] <CarlFK> Slaryn: the error count is proably relevent

[02:00] <BSoDirl> turns out "Windows Firewall" was enabled on his NIC
[02:00] <Slaryn> Sorry for the big paste.  :p
[02:00] <CarlFK> Slaryn: and that isn't IP - that's lower... (don't paste here...)
[02:00] <Slaryn> What isn't IP?
[02:01] <CarlFK> Slaryn: the error cont inst an IP problem - it is like a damaged cable.   I am guessing you don't have quite the right driver/firmware files
[02:01] <Slaryn> CarlFX how would I go about getting the correct ones?
[02:02] <Slaryn> I'd google it but... :p
[02:02] <BSoDirl> do the drm drivers take a long time to compile?
[02:04] <BSoDirl> ooh brb
[02:04] <johlin> I'm having some problems with grub here. I've installed ubuntu a few times, but with dapper I
[02:04] <johlin> 'm not getting any chance to edit the grub options
[02:05] <BCK14> hmm can anyone help me, im installing using alternate cd and it looks to have frozen configuring apt
[02:05] <BCK14> this is due to ipv6 and my router
[02:05] <BCK14> as its trying to scan the mirrors
[02:05] <johlin> I installed ubuntu on my secondary slave drive. I was going to make a boot partition in the beginning, but since I could only have 4 partitions (and I didn't know how to make extended ones) I couldn't. So now I'm stuck with a grub error 21. How do I make it work?
[02:06] <CarlFK> Slaryn: this is the driver I use: http://acx100.sourceforge.net
[02:07] <CarlFK> Slaryn: which does not create a ath0 device (i think, laptop not booted right not...)
[02:07] <TabooTreez> ubuntu + fluxbox = love
[02:07] <tinklepants> *huggie* = love
[02:08] <CarlFK> I just got goosed
[02:08] <tinklepants> lalala
[02:09] <Slaryn> Hello?
[02:09] <Slaryn> Test
[02:09] <CarlFK> Slaryn: I thought for sure the dlink page had pictures of the 4 versions - I think it might be because it is 'discontinued'  now - http://acx100.sourceforge.net/
[02:09] <Hobbsee> Otacon22: please get rid of that away message
[02:09] <Slaryn> Hey, sorry
[02:09] <johlin> would someone mind helping me with just getting a grub-floppy working? I just need to bood ubuntu from that.
[02:09] <Slaryn> What was last said about my wireless issue?
[02:09] <Slaryn> CarlFX if you're here
[02:10] <CarlFK> Slaryn: I thought for sure the dlink page had pictures of the 4 versions - I think it might be because it is 'discontinued'  now - http://acx100.sourceforge.net/
[02:10] <Slaryn> I'll see if the page works :/
[02:10] <biscon> johlin: can't you just boot the livecd, chroot to your install, alter the grub config and run grub?
[02:11] <Slaryn> CarlFX site won't load
[02:11] <johlin> biscon: I don't know, I haven't had grub problems before so I'm not that familiar with it.
[02:11] <Slaryn> Because of my same problem... oh the irony.  XD
[02:11] <CarlFK> Slaryn: what IRC client are you using ?
[02:12] <Slaryn> CarlFX irssi text
[02:13] <patrick_king> how do i update from breezy to dapper
[02:13] <apokryphos> patrick_king: check the FAQ
[02:13] <BSoDirl> gee that was fun
[02:13] <biscon> johlin: I haven't had any since my gentoo days, you asked for a way to manually alter the grub conf, thats why I proposed chroot from the live cd, but you have to know how to use grub for that to work
[02:14] <BSoDirl> I downloaded the k7 headers, the image, rest. modules, both DRI packages I needed, and I still got nothin.
[02:14] <CarlFK> Slaryn: I think it does 'tab completion' - type carl and hit tab - see if it completes my name (just a tip - if it works you will see why I noticed )
[02:14] <Slaryn> It does, I knew that already
[02:14] <dudleh> was that edit the grub conf without root?
[02:15] <Slaryn> Oh I was probably typing CarlFX instead of CarlFK
[02:15] <Slaryn> Your nick is short enough I don't bother tabbing it :p
[02:15] <Gibson> I'm having problems with the installation can someone help me?
[02:16] <wahjava> hi channel
[02:16] <luc1fersflowers> hello all
[02:16] <tinklepants> CarlFX <- haha
[02:16] <Gibson> it gets to 66% done and gives me an error message about bootsrap.log
[02:16] <wildekek> is it possible to switch off USB ports with a shell command?
[02:16] <Slaryn> Your nick is bright yellow Carl, haha
[02:16] <CarlFK> Slaryn: now I feel lazy :)
[02:16] <wahjava> is it possible to install Dapper over PXE boot
[02:16] <johlin> what is the root password for the live cd?
[02:16] <wahjava> like I've done previously with Breezy
[02:16] <snoops> sudo johlin
[02:16] <CarlFK> wahjava: sort of - mostly no
[02:16] <biscon> johlin: isn't any I think, use sudo
[02:16] <Slaryn> Well anyways... any final solutions to my dumb wireless?    ;D
[02:19] <Bassetts> Slaryn: but i dont want to use them if i am not allowed
[02:19] <tinklepants> well Gibson wrote Spinrite too
[02:19] <Slaryn> I'm sure if it's for an Ubuntu site it'd be no big deal
[02:19] <luc1fersflowers> so if i were to mv jpg files it would look something like this mv /home/pics/*.jpg /home/pix? CarlFK
[02:19] <Gibson> can someone help me with the installation?
[02:19] <Bassetts> but the ubuntu time dont make the tango icons do they?
[02:19] <biscon> tinklepants: I don't want to offend you but gibson is scaremongering publicity hungering idiot imho :)
[02:19] <funkmaster> i have a stupid question: how can i find out if my video card supports 3d?
[02:20] <tinklepants> biscon, that offends me :)
[02:20] <luc1fersflowers> CarlFK, i have alot of pictures that i want all in one folder, but there sorted throught many containing folders
[02:20] <biscon> tinklepants: sorry
[02:20] <snoops> google the card funkmaster?
[02:20] <wahjava> CarlFK: thanks :)
[02:20] <CarlFK> anyone know how to Slaryn can figure out what module is being used by the ath0?
[02:20] <tinklepants> so biscon is pro-MS, ok
[02:20] <tinklepants> no offense
[02:20] <Gibson> it says something about bootstrap.log
[02:20] <wahjava> CarlFK: ath0 ?? a network interface is that
[02:21] <biscon> tinklepants: why do I have to be pro ms because I dont like steve gibson?
[02:21] <wahjava> CarlFK: if yeah then dmesg |fgrep ath0
[02:21] <Slaryn> Yes it's my wireless card wahjava
[02:21] <johlin> will grub find my boot partition on my slave drive, as long as it is the first partition?
[02:21] <knight488> can someone tell me how to fix the input lag with ATI cards?
[02:21] <CarlFK> luc1fersflowers: you may want to use: find ./ -name "*.jpg" -exec mv {} /home/pix \;
[02:21] <wahjava> Slaryn: do that 'dmesg |fgrep ath0'
[02:21] <tinklepants> biscon, figure it out, u just defended MS against gibsons technical criticisms, duh
[02:21] <biscon> CarlFK: what about dmesg | grep ath0
[02:21] <orion> does suse or red hat drivers for ibm server work with ubuntu ?
[02:21] <Slaryn> Ok one moment
[02:21] <burepe> what is the mount location for a samba network. I want to access a file throught a program's dialog but I don't know where to look.
[02:21] <BCK14> !ubuntguide
[02:21] <ubotu> I know nothing about ubuntguide
[02:22] <BCK14> !ubuntuguide
[02:22] <Gibson> does /list |more work?
[02:22] <ubotu> ubuntuguide is an inaccurate and outdated resource. Please use help.ubuntu.com or wiki.ubuntu.com instead
[02:22] <biscon> tinklepants: did I? what did I say? :)
[02:22] <luc1fersflowers> CarlFK, i'll give that a try, thank you
[02:22] <tinklepants> biscon, scroll up please
[02:22] <g-nome> adding some items to panel (and removing others), i have NO SYSTEM tray anyore :-( that mean that every program with a system tray icon, does not show it  there
[02:22] <biscon> tinklepants: I just said I didn't like him, that doesn't mean im pro ms
[02:22] <Slaryn> CarlFK - [17179610.748000]  ath0: Atheros 5212: mem=0x12000000, irq=11
[02:22] <wahjava> johlin: GRUB will also find your boot partition even if it isn't first partition ;)
[02:22] <Slaryn> That what you were lookin for?
[02:23] <CarlFK> orion: linux drivers work with linux - so 'probably'
[02:23] <Gibson> does this server have helpop?
[02:23] <Slaryn> It'
[02:23] <Slaryn> Ack
[02:23] <Slaryn> It's Atheros 5212 if that's what you were looking for ***
[02:23] <johlin> wahjaava: it doesn't find /boot on my root partition, but it will if I have a separate boot partition?
[02:23] <CarlFK> Slaryn: I am trying to figure out how to rmmod DriverName so you can insmod aix100 (the right driver)
[02:23] <Gibson> ok i think i figured it out
[02:24] <Slaryn> Ah, but finding the right driver is hard without any net access
[02:24] <Gibson> i have to mautally partion the harddrives instead of guided
[02:24] <Gibson> manually*
[02:24] <biscon> tinklepants: http://grcsucks.com/ <-- some of the reasons why I dont like him is summarized on this page
[02:24] <knight488> ah I have an Atheros 5212 too
[02:24] <CarlFK> Slaryn: I think I know what the right driver is : aix100 - what I don't know is hnow to get the wrong driver out of the way
[02:24] <Gibson> is there a way to upgrade to dapper without actually having to download the entire 400mb package?
[02:25] <Slaryn> Oh
[02:25] <wahjava> Slaryn: try this: lsmod |fgrep net
[02:25] <Slaryn> wahjava nothing happened
[02:25] <wahjava> Slaryn: lsmod |fgrep mii
[02:26] <Gibson> whats the command that shows you all the possible servers?
[02:26] <Slaryn> Nothing happened, again
[02:26] <Gibson> like nick serv and chan serv and memo serv?
[02:26] <CarlFK> Slaryn: less  /var/log/messages - /search for ath0 - then look around for a module/file name
[02:26] <wahjava> CarlFK: do you know on what driver does wireless drivers depend ??
[02:26] <knight488> Slaryn, I kinda just got here, are you trying to set up wireless internet?
[02:26] <Slaryn> knight488: sort of, having some issues
[02:26] <CarlFK> wahjava: nope - you have good ideas though ;)
[02:27] <mag> have someone experience with compiz and xgl ?
[02:27] <wahjava> CarlFK: I never enjoyed wlan :(
[02:27] <Slaryn> knight488: My wireless card access only some sites
[02:27] <Slaryn> And IRC, but not AIM
[02:27] <g-nome> adding some items to panel (and removing others), i have NO SYSTEM tray anyore :-( that mean that every program with a system tray icon, does not show it  there . is there a way to show the syste, tray?
[02:27] <CarlFK> knight488: Slaryn has a dlink dwl-650+ wifi cars - I do too. mine uses the aix100 module
[02:27] <burepe> how can I find network files in the files system? what is the location?
[02:27] <Slaryn> Getting reception errors, and I'm on a public network at the hotel I work at/.
[02:27] <jrib> ubotu: tell mag about xgl
[02:28] <knight488> Slaryn well thats a pretty strange feature
[02:28] <Slaryn> Yes
[02:28] <CarlFK> Slaryn: you near chicago?  I could use a room ;)
[02:28] <Slaryn> snjcomics.com works, but not google.com :)
[02:28] <Slaryn> Hah nope
[02:28] <Slaryn> AZ
[02:28] <knight488> I had a simular problem with ethernet, but not wireless
[02:28] <knight488> you using ndiswrapper?
[02:28] <arapehl> two coasters later, I got Ubuntu to boot from CD! w00t!
[02:28] <Slaryn> I tried ndiswrapper a few hours ago, it failed
[02:29] <Slaryn> With multiple different drivers
[02:29] <Slaryn> CarlFK couldn't you just install the aix1000 right over the old driver?
[02:29] <arapehl> so now, can someone tell me how to go about burning my files to CD in such a way that I'll be able to read'em from linux?
[02:29] <Slaryn> Or must it be removed?
[02:29] <knight488> the different drivers all made your card detected? I only found one that worked at all
[02:29] <CarlFK> Slaryn: if you can try ndis, then you .. you need to remove the old
[02:29] <Slaryn> I have ndiswrapper on here still
[02:30] <Slaryn> Althought an ndiswrapper -l gives me none
[02:30] <CarlFK> Slaryn: less  /var/log/messages - /search for ath0 - then look around for a module/file name
[02:30] <mag> jrib: I have compiz and xgl now, but I have a problem, I can not see all the menu bars on the windows and I have to run this command "gnome-window-decorator &" when I turn on the pc , why ? 3 months ago I had not run this command
[02:30] <Slaryn> Carl ok
[02:31] <jrib> mag: I don't know, #ubuntu-xgl may be able to help you
[02:31] <mag> ok ! thank's
[02:32] <Slaryn> CarlFK - pattern not found
[02:32] <knight488> does anyone know how to fix the annoying mouse input lag with ATI cards?
[02:33] <Kelerion> guys.. trying to install 6.06 on a new t2000 server I recieved yesterday... not getting very far... anyone know of any problems with the install procedure on this server?
[02:33] <Cripps> has anybody tried xgl/compiz on an ati xpress200M successfully? ... or any ati card successfully for that matter?
[02:33] <CarlFK> Slaryn: try dmesg|less - somwhere should be the log of the driver/module assigning itself to ath0 (that is the device name, right?)
[02:33] <Hexidigital_> Kelerion:: what kind of problems are you having?
[02:34] <Slaryn> Yes it's on ath0
[02:34] <Slaryn> And I'll give it a shot
[02:34] <Kelerion> it boots into the installer.. I answer a couple of questions.. then the installer just stops
[02:34] <BSoDirl> ok im upset
[02:34] <Hexidigital_> Kelerion:: specifics please.... where did it stop?
[02:34] <BSoDirl> I installed DRI as suggested on the forums
[02:34] <BSoDirl> download 35m of files on dialup
[02:34] <BSoDirl> and.... no DRI :S
[02:34] <BSoDirl> installed everything verbatim
[02:35] <Kelerion> am trying again as we speak.. I'll let you know as it goes through
[02:35] <Hexidigital_> Kelerion:: ok
[02:35] <Kelerion> I've installed ubuntu a few dozen times.. am not new to it.. so I doubt it's anything obvious
[02:35] <knight488> Cripps, what are you trying to do?
[02:35] <Kelerion> first screen... selected language: english
[02:36] <Kelerion> second screen: selected UK
[02:36] <Cripps> knight488, I'd like to install xgl/compiz on my laptop, but I have an ati card, and I wanted to make sure it won't screw my system before I do.
[02:36] <Slaryn> Erm CarlFK... I have a few "ath0 - no ipv6 router present"'s in there
[02:36] <knight488> Cripps ah, I'm on my laptop with it's 200M now
[02:36] <Slaryn> The rest ath0-related messages are just telling me the b and g speeds, channels, etc
[02:37] <Kelerion> ok.. third screen is a bit wierd... this server doesn't have a keyboard.. you need to install over a serial link.. but selecting a kb anyways
[02:37] <Cripps> knight488, excellent. just follow the directions on the ubuntu wiki then?
[02:37] <knight488> while it won't mess up your system, theres some annoying aspects to it
[02:37] <knight488> hm
[02:37] <Cripps> knight488, such as?
[02:37] <knight488> hang on, I actualy took directions off the forum...
[02:37] <Cripps> kk.
[02:38] <Davegoodson> hey, is it possible to install ubuntu on a USB HDD, and does it have XGL installed?
[02:38] <Hexidigital_> Kelerion:: there's no keyboard?
[02:38] <CarlFK> Slaryn: above that
[02:38] <knight488> Cripps, I followed this:  http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=204910
[02:38] <Cripps> knight488, these are the instructions I was going to follow: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_Xgl.2FCompiz_.28Nvidia.29
[02:38] <Kelerion> nope
[02:38] <Hexidigital_> Kelerion:: you need a keyboard plugged in, afaik
[02:38] <Slaryn> CarlFK the only other stuff was the thing I pasted to you
[02:38] <Slaryn> Nothing about a driver name
[02:38] <Kelerion> this server doesn't have a ps2 port or even vga port
[02:38] <Cripps> knight488, what were the "annoying" aspects you were talking about?
[02:39] <Slaryn> CarlFK: It keeps reminding me I'm on Atheras 5212 is all
[02:39] <Slaryn> IRQ11
[02:39] <biscon> Slaryn: if_ath_g <-- do you have this when you do lsmod?
[02:39] <knight488> Cripps, and while opengl, direct3d, and all that works, "accelerated graphics" is kinda glitchy
[02:39] <Hexidigital_> Kelerion:: unless anyone can think of another reason, i think that is why your install is stopping
[02:39] <CarlFK> Slaryn: you want to see (from mine): acx v0.3.21: net device wlan0, driver compiled against wireless extensions 19 and Linux 2.6.15-25-686
[02:40] <knight488> Cripps, theres some kind of annoying input lag for example in 3d games, that lags progressivly worse if you try higher resolutions
[02:40] <Davegoodson> hey, is it possible to install ubuntu on a USB HDD, and does it have XGL installed?
[02:40] <Hexidigital_> Davegoodson:: yes and no
[02:40] <Kelerion> 6.06 specifically has support for this server.. it's the new UltraSparc T1 (Niagara)...
[02:40] <Cripps> knight488, ahh. then it's no problem for me. I don't play games ;)
[02:40] <Slaryn> No biscon
[02:40] <Davegoodson> Hexidigital_: why yes and no? :(
[02:40] <g-nome> is it possible to launch xeyes without windows borders?
[02:40] <Slaryn> CarlFK: ok an that's from less|dmesg?
[02:41] <Hexidigital_> Davegoodson:: yes for usb hdd install, (if your mobo supports usb boot), and no XGL install by default....
[02:41] <CarlFK> Slaryn: yes.  lsmod|less - try to figure out what looks like your driver
[02:41] <knight488> Cripps, also Cedega only detects 3d acceleration about 75% of the time, 20% of the time if you use version 8.25
[02:41] <Slaryn> Ok
[02:41] <Cripps> Davegoodson, yes, it is possible, but you have to install xgl yourself afterwards. there's instructions on http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper
[02:41] <biscon> Slaryn: ath_hal <-- perhaps? :)
[02:41] <knight488> Cripps, ah if you don't really need tweaked out 3d preformance, it should do just fine then
[02:41] <Cripps> knight488, well, as I said, I don't game ... so that shouldn't be a problem :D
[02:41] <Cripps> knight488, awesome. thanks for the link, Imma go follow it now.
[02:42] <Davegoodson> is it easy to install XGL? And are nvidia drivers preinstalled?
[02:42] <Hexidigital_> !xgl
[02:42] <snoops> there are many guides for xgl and compiz Davegoodson.. a really good one on the ubuntu wiki
[02:42] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[02:42] <CarlFK> Slaryn: im going back to sleep - once you figure out what to rmmod, insmode acx or acx100 or acx111 (not sure what it is called on a stock install) - Ill be back in a few hours
[02:42] <Slaryn> I'll be gone Carl
[02:42] <snoops> and you will need to install the nvidia drivers before you go ahead
[02:42] <Slaryn> But thanks
[02:42] <Slaryn> bicson, no
[02:43] <Slaryn> Closest is
[02:43] <CarlFK> Slaryn: im here most of the time
[02:43] <Slaryn> ath_pci?
[02:43] <HellDragon> att
[02:43] <biscon> sounds like it
[02:43] <johlin> the installer always crashes on me. The only thing I'm doing is formatting 3 partitions.
[02:44] <Slaryn> Wait biscon
[02:44] <Slaryn> ath_hal is there
[02:44] <Slaryn> On a second look
[02:45] <g-nome> is it possible to launch xeyes without windows borders?
[02:46] <sp1d3r> How I can restrict access to one of my apache2 directory
[02:46] <Cripps> johlin, try using a rescue disk to partition/format your HD, and then on the installer choose the mount points, (and manually do swapon), and for the "format?" option choose "leave data unchanged" ... that might prevent the crashes if it's only doing it during the format stage.
[02:46] <Slaryn> biscon what should I be looking for under ath_hal/ath_pci?
[02:47] <biscon> Slaryn: well I wasn't here from the start and I don't know what the problem is with your wifi.. but far as I can read from Carl's responses he did want you to unload your current drivers and load the new ones right?
[02:47] <sp1d3r> Anyone know what are the right steps to configure a restriction on apache2 directory?
[02:47] <Slaryn> Yes I think so
[02:48] <Slaryn> sp1d3r, perhaps an .htaccess
[02:48] <Kelerion> Hexidigital_ it's freezing when it gets to the partitioner.. I think it's more likely to do with the sata drives - do you think?
[02:48] <g-nome> is it possible to launch xeyes without windows borders? anyone? using this fancy/funny tool? :-)
[02:48] <Slaryn> Or edit your htppd.conf
[02:48] <Frogzoo> g-nome: pretty sure yes, try google
[02:48] <Hexidigital_> Kelerion:: could be... unfortunately, i have no experience with SATA
[02:48] <biscon> Slaryn: okay to follow his advice you should then rmmod the old drivers and ismod or modprobe the new ones
[02:48] <johlin> Cripps: thanks. I might just make a xp boot disk (copying 2 files from my windows drive) and fix it with partition magic
[02:48] <Kelerion> thanks anyways
[02:48] <biscon> Slaryn: thats what he said before right before he left :)
[02:49] <Hexidigital_> Kelerion:: sorry
[02:49] <Hexidigital_> !usenames
[02:49] <ubotu> I know nothing about usenames
[02:49] <Hexidigital_> !usename
[02:49] <ubotu> I know nothing about usename
[02:49] <Hexidigital_> hmm
[02:49] <Cripps> johlin, it's best to use a linux boot disk for that. google "gparted"
[02:49] <Kelerion> anyone here installed ubuntu on one of these t2000 servers yet?
[02:49] <Cripps> johlin, it's a live CD meant for just that ... and best of all, it's free!
[02:49] <biscon> Cripps: isn't the ubuntu livecd a boot disk? :)
[02:49] <KuLover> Has anyone tried the new ATI drivers release?
[02:50] <KuLover> Version 8.26.18
[02:50] <biscon> johlin: you always open a terminal and go fdisk makefs on its ass, manually partitioning and formatting the filesystems.. never crashed for me
[02:50] <Cripps> biscon, yeah ... the ubuntu install disk I have isn't a "liveCD" ... end the rescue environment won't work unless you have a fully completed ubuntu install on a readable hard disk.
[02:50] <biscon> johlin: if you don't know how to do read about it in the gentoo install doc. I know this is ubuntu but using fdisk and the makefs family is pretty much the same :)
[02:51] <g-nome> Frogzoo: can't find anything relevant
[02:51] <biscon> Cripps: oh I thought he was installing dapper
[02:51] <Cripps> biscon, yeah. it's pretty basic stuff.  Is there any way to shrink/move the ntfs partition that is after it, to give the boot partition a few more mb?
[02:52] <biscon> Cripps: well I didn't have any problems with the gui gnome partition editor.. but yeah using fdisk probably isn't fun for a newcomer
[02:53] <Cripps> johlin, ntfsresize ... google it. I don't know if it's on the ubuntu install disk though.
[02:53] <johlin> the command exists
[02:53] <Cripps> biscon, yeah.
[02:54] <johlin> but I don't know how to use it. Is there a frontend for it in synaptic somewhere?
[02:54] <Ro1> hey all
[02:54] <biscon> johlin: overall I would recommend keeping linux and windows on different harddisks if you can spare a drive :)
[02:54] <le03n> hello! how nows how can i install ssh demon from preseed file (auto installation)???
[02:55] <Cripps> le03n, sudo apt-get install ssh
[02:55] <zennist> test
[02:56] <Ro1> firefox is so slow to get a awebsite and download it in ubuntu...but when i used windows is extremely fast...can someone help me fix it
[02:56] <Cripps> Ro1, you were six words away from being a troll there ;)
[02:56] <le03n> thx, but this dosnt work in the pressed file...
[02:57] <Cripps> le03n, what, by the way, is a "pressed file" ?
[02:57] <Ro1> cripps: whatcha mean
[02:57] <le03n> auto config file for all installations questions
[02:57] <biscon> Cripps: the daemon package is called openssh-server
[02:58] <Cripps> Ro1, "this was fast in windows but is slow in ubuntu" is usually a line that trolls use to arouse controversy.
[02:58] <Cripps> biscon, my bad.
[02:58] <le03n> you pusch the button and get drink a coffe, in the time ubuntu insall automaticaly ;-)
[02:58] <zennist> ubuntu is great.
[02:58] <Ro1> cripps: dont get me wrong...i'm not trying to start anything...i hate windows....but am trying to make this as good as possible
[02:58] <le03n> i tried aleady "base-config	base-config/late_command	string apt-get install ssh" but this dosent work :-(
[02:59] <zennist> but i dont like the new version. dapper.
[02:59] <Ro1> cripps: sorry if i annoyed you or something
[02:59] <fenrrir> algum brasileiro, que possa tirar duvidas do XGl no dapper amd64 ?
[02:59] <Cripps> Ro1, I understand. I commented because I found it humorous.
[02:59] <thoreauputic_> Ro1: check out disabling IPv6 in about:config
[02:59] <zennist> 'cause i dont noe how to configure the vmware at dapper.
[02:59] <Cripps> Ro1, unfortunately, I can't help because I haven't experienced that problem. sorry :(
[03:00] <johlin> I don't know anything about ntfsresize or linux partition editing in general, would someone mind helping me in a private window?
[03:00] <Cripps> !tell fenrrir about #ubuntu-br
[03:00] <ubotu> I know nothing about #ubuntu-br
[03:00] <Ro1> cripps-thanks anyway
[03:00] <Cripps> fenrrir, #ubuntu-br
[03:00] <fenrrir> sorry
[03:00] <jordan_> hi
[03:00] <Cripps> fenrrir, that's okay.
[03:02] <thoreauputic_> !br
[03:02] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br  ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigada.
[03:02] <Speek> I need help with a wireless connection for ubuntu. I can't access the internet... I'm on my windows right now
[03:02] <jordan_> I can't help you, sorry
[03:03] <Ro1> speek: maybe i can try to help...what kind of wireless card do you have
[03:03] <Speek> I have a Airlink101 Wireless PCI card
[03:03] <Ro1> sorry..i dont have experience with that card
[03:03] <Ro1> seaching ubuntu forums may help (ubuntuforums.org)
[03:04] <Speek> I did they mentioned
[03:04] <Speek> ndiswrapper
[03:04] <neutrinomass> How do I tell that 3d acceleration is enabled ?
[03:04] <jordan_> I need help about play video in my ubuntu
[03:04] <jordan_> I have mplayer, but it doesn't play anything
[03:04] <seanh> Okay, bit of a problem. WHen I first installed ubuntu I created user seanh which was a sudo user. Later I created user s0094060 also sudo. Later I deleted user seanh to save space. This caused s0094060 to no longer by a sudo user. No I have no sudo user.
[03:04] <biscon> neutrinomass: try glxinfo | grep OpenGL
[03:05] <neutrinomass> seanh: If you didn't touch the sudoers file, then all you have to do is boot from rescue mode and add a user to the 'admin' group in /etc/group
[03:05] <BSoDirl> im having a problem with 3d too :|
[03:05] <BSoDirl> I installed the snapshots from freedesktop.org, and they say everythings fine.
[03:05] <seanh> neutrinomass - where is the sudoers file stored?
[03:05] <BSoDirl> no direct rendering :|
[03:06] <neutrinomass> biscon: What do I expect to see ? I don't have a 3d card on this comp, but I'm going to a store with a livecd to check out a laptop.
[03:06] <seanh> neutrinomass - also, s0094060 *was* a sudo user, removing user seanh seemed to change the sudo status of s0094060. Very odd.
[03:06] <neutrinomass> biscon: I take it that it should work out of the box (some integrated intel controller I think )
[03:06] <Speek> How abouts do I get my nvidia on ubuntu?
[03:07] <neutrinomass> seanh: It's in /etc/sudoers. Do you remember changing it ?
[03:07] <seanh> neutrinomass - no. I didn't change it
[03:07] <biscon> neutrinomass: well the nvidia or ati supplied drivers isn't included on the livecd, but generally you should buy nvidia with linux, works best
[03:07] <jordan_> my mplayer say me : New_face failed. Maybe the font page is wrong. Please suply the text font file
[03:07] <jordan_> What can I do ?
[03:07] <belajar> every one in the chat I am a newbe using linuk I have problem to instal aplication in ubuntu
[03:07] <biscon> if you just wanna know the chipset you can do a lspci or ask the clerk
[03:07] <seanh> neutrinomass - well, I'll try booting into resuce mode, thanks
[03:07] <neutrinomass> seanh: I'm not sure exactly what you did and s0009whatever isn't sudo anymore :(
[03:08] <neutrinomass> biscon: Yeah, I know that part ;) It's not nvidia or ATI, it's some shared memory intel integrated graphics (but I've got no model from the prospectus).
[03:08] <jordan_> when you finish with this problem, you can try to help me, please ?
[03:09] <neutrinomass> biscon: glxinfo | grep OpenGL should tell me whether 3d is enabled. If it is enabled, I guess everything is alright and that graphics-wise the laptop is OK ?
[03:09] <jordan_> I feel ignored :(
[03:09] <biscon> neutrinomass: I wouldn't buy it then, but I've heard that the intel 945 have decent drivers.. anyway if you want that exact model I think you should get the chipset name with lspci and then google it
[03:09] <Myth> yay: http://digg.com/gadgets/Fake_Mailer
[03:10] <Speek> How do I get NDISWRAPPER on my ubuntu?
[03:10] <neutrinomass> biscon: It's a great deal (1GB DDR, Core Duo, 100GB sata hd, dvdrw for 950 euros) :( Ok, will do that. Final question: What do I expect to see in grep OpenGL that will tell me whether 3d is enabled?
[03:10] <biscon> neutrinomass: no glxinfo | grep OpenGL will only give you the vendor and manufacturer strings for the currently running GLX
[03:10] <neutrinomass> biscon: Oh...
[03:11] <Ribs> glxinfo | grep direct
[03:11] <Ribs> that's the line you need
[03:11] <biscon> neutrinomass: the livecd usually only provides the mesa software rendering glx.. you should get the name if the chipset with lspci and then google the name + linux
[03:11] <neutrinomass> Ribs: Thanks.
[03:11] <biscon> neutrinomass: that should give you a clue as the whether linux accelerated drivers exists :)
[03:12] <neutrinomass> biscon: Ok thanks. Any idea on how well ipw3945 works ?
[03:12] <biscon> neutrinomass: I don't even know what it is mate :)
[03:12] <neutrinomass> biscon: Ok thanks anyway :) (wireless )
[03:12] <cwillu> !smbfs > me
[03:12] <ubotu> I know nothing about smbfs
[03:12] <cwillu> !cifs > me
[03:12] <ubotu> I know nothing about cifs
[03:12] <cwillu> !samba > me
[03:12] <jordan_> biscon can you help me please ?
[03:13] <biscon> neutrinomass: I still haven't jumped on the wifi bandwaggon so I don't know that much about wlan config.. but again google is usually your friend.. although it can take some time :)
[03:13] <biscon> jordan_: I can try
[03:13] <jordan_> ok thanks
[03:13] <jordan_> look
[03:14] <neutrinomass> biscon: I've found http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net which is endorsed by Intel so it's probably not too bad, but I'm looking for first hand experience as well ;)
[03:14] <jordan_> I am a new user of ubuntu
[03:14] <jordan_> and I can't play video with mplayer
[03:14] <neutrinomass> (I've seen tons of issues with ipw2200 and that's made me suspcious ;) )
[03:14] <jordan_> I know play mp3
[03:14] <jordan_> but no video
[03:14] <Otacon22> someone can help me?I have a 250 gb external hdd and when I connect it ubuntu mount it on /media/usbdisk/ but I want that ubuntu automount this hdd in /media/Lacie/ I can remount also using the discs tool in system>administration.... but when I sconnect and reconnect the usb cable ubuntu already mount on /media/usbdisk/ , how I can set that ubuntu mount in /media/Lacie/   ?????
[03:14] <neutrinomass> jordan_: What kind of video? Any video? Have you installed the appropriate codecs ?
[03:14] <fenrrir> my compiz crash, and crash borders of gnome, i'm use dapper amd64, not compiz run,  somebody knows what it can be?
[03:14] <neutrinomass> codecs -> plugins
[03:14] <biscon> neutrinomass: well that probably means that is is an open source driver backed by the company who makes it (intel), that usually means great support.. but again I don't know anything about wifi
[03:15] <jordan_> i want play a wma or asf video
[03:15] <biscon> jordan_: you probably need all the patent encumbered file formats
[03:15] <orbin> Otacon22, gksudo 'gedit /etc/fstab'
[03:15] <biscon> jordan_: an easy way to install them is using the easyubuntu script.. 2 secs
[03:16] <biscon> jordan_: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=4
[03:16] <biscon> jordan_: sorry wrong link
[03:16] <jrib> ubotu: tell jordan_ about restricted
[03:16] <jordan_> I download  a packet of codecs in format deb, but ubuntu say me an error and it can't open
[03:16] <ketsugi> Woo, I got my Ubuntu discs today
[03:16] <Otacon22> orbin, /media/usbdisk/ don't appear in fstab!
[03:16] <biscon> jordan_: http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/
[03:16] <pjfc> has anyone had trouble getting xserver to load with nvidia card and kernel 2.6.15-25-386?
[03:16] <biscon> jordan_: what error and what package?
[03:16] <orbin> Otacon22: what format is the drive in?
[03:17] <jordan_> w32codecs_20050412-0unofficialubuntu3_i386 this package
[03:17] <seanh> Okay, anyone know how I can add a user to the admin group from the command line? startx is not working in rescue mode
[03:17] <pjfc> can get xserver to load if I choose vesa display driver, but not with nvidia
[03:17] <cwillu> Sean adduser <user> admin
[03:17] <cwillu> oops, seanh
[03:17] <jordan_> and ubuntu say me that is not suported
[03:17] <orbin> Otacon22: actually, jsut pastebin the whole file contents: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[03:17] <seanh> cwillu - thanks
[03:18] <Otacon22> orbin, is a fat32, now I copy in noaste and I show you
[03:18] <biscon> jordan_: I think you should try that script I linked you. it will add the appropiate repositores and install all the stuff for you :)
[03:18] <jordan_> http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ this ?
[03:19] <biscon> jordan_: aye got nice and easy to follow instructions
[03:19] <kbrooks> yes jordan_
[03:19] <johlin> gparted can't add free space before my extended partition, that option is greyed out. why?
[03:19] <jordan_> what I have to download ?
[03:19] <kbrooks> biscon: just to be clear: it doesn't add them to your ubuntu ;)
[03:19] <Eddie> HI everyone, just need to check something :)
[03:19] <biscon> jordan_: the script, read the page mate, its all there :)
[03:19] <kbrooks> biscon: you have to tell it to
[03:19] <Eddie> Does writing to an NTFS partition still nuke it to hell?
[03:19] <jordan_> ok thanks :)
[03:19] <jordan_> I try
[03:19] <biscon> kbrooks: doesn't it ask you?
[03:19] <kbrooks> Eddie: it most definitely will
[03:19] <mmilo> hello
[03:19] <Kibou> Eddie: yes
[03:20] <kbrooks> biscon: no. you have to tell it to
[03:20] <Ro1> in dapper drake, how do i make a program..such as Gaim start at startup?
[03:20] <Otacon22> orbin, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16692
[03:20] <jrib> Ro1: system > preferences > sessions > startup
[03:20] <Ro1> thanks
[03:20] <mmilo> i was wondering if anyone could help out a noobie
[03:20] <Eddie> ok, thanks for the heads up guys
[03:20] <jrib> !ask
[03:20] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:20] <sztanpet> what is the package name of the windows fonts?
[03:20] <Speek> Anybody use NDISWRAPPER?
[03:20] <mmilo> :) ok i was wondering how I could set up the codecs I need to play avi files
[03:20] <orbin> Otacon22: can you paste the output of the mount command too pls
[03:20] <jrib> sztanpet: msttcorefonts
[03:21] <sztanpet> jrib thanks
[03:21] <mmilo> I read the win32 howto and it didn't work for me
[03:21] <orbin> Otacon22: just type mount in a terminal
[03:21] <jrib> ubotu: tell mmilo about codecs
[03:21] <Otacon22> there is'nt problems to mount orbin
[03:21] <Eddie> how is the situation with wine or emulators etc
[03:21] <mmilo> I'm using dapper, and I think the howto was written for breezy, not sure if that if that makes any difference
[03:21] <Otacon22> the problem is that ubuntu auto mount in a folder that I don't want it mount
[03:21] <sztanpet> aww msttcorefonts has no instalation candidate
[03:21] <Eddie> Can I run say itunes or windows live messenger? ms office?
[03:21] <orbin> Otacon22: i know. i'm just working out what's the device name for your usb drive
[03:21] <jrib> mmilo: ubotu should have sent you a private message with the current howto's
[03:21] <Eddie> when I was last with linux the answer was a resounding no
[03:21] <jrib> !info msttcorefonts
[03:21] <Api984> i need some help on something
[03:21] <ubotu> msttcorefonts: Installer for Microsoft TrueType core fonts. In repository multiverse, is optional. Version 1.2ubuntu3 (dapper), package size 22 kB, installed size 164 kB
[03:22] <jrib> sztanpet: you need to have multiverse enabled
[03:22] <sztanpet> ahh, ty
[03:22] <mmilo> jrib: not that I can see
[03:22] <orbin> Eddie: how long ago was that?
[03:22] <Eddie> orbin: Debian Woody
[03:22] <Api984> why must I copy movies from SMB share to my linux pc... why cant i open them directly
[03:22] <Api984> why must I copy movies from SMB share to my linux pc... why cant i open them directly

[03:22] <Otacon22> orbin, the drive is in /dev/sdc5
[03:22] <Mez> Seveas: ping
[03:22] <cwillu> Eddie: wine, crossover office, et al are probably what you're looking for, although the free alternatives do a good job (office at least)
[03:22] <Eddie> quite a while ago, just as Woody was released
[03:22] <jrib> mmilo: see what ubotu just said
[03:22] <Seveas> Mez, ?
[03:23] <pjfc> has anypne had problems with kernel 2.6.15-25-386 and an nvidia graphics card?
[03:23] <mmilo> jrib: yep now I see it
[03:23] <Api984> why must I copy movies from SMB share to my linux pc... why cant i open them directly
[03:23] <orbin> Eddie: well, people have run WoW just fine from what i've heard.  so i'm guessing there's been improvements
[03:23] <Blaskowitz> hi all, i can't seem to enable direct rendering with my ati card, i've tried numerous things to get it going but for some reason it refuses to work, could someone help me with this?
[03:23] <cwillu> Eddie: crossover office is _designed_ to run ms office, and as a side effect, runs quite a bit of things as well
[03:23] <jordan_> by
[03:23] <Eddie> thank you guys
[03:23] <Api984> why must I copy movies from SMB share to my linux pc... why cant i open them directly
[03:23] <Mez> Seveas... I'm writing up a "quotes Database" for ubuntu channels/emails etc... just wondered if you'd be interested in adding functionality to ubotu to ADD quotes (not to list - that'd result in way too much spam
[03:23] <Eddie> its good to see the altruistic spirit of freenode is one of those things that never change
[03:23] <orbin> Otacon22: that's the one mounted as /media/usbdisk/?
[03:24] <Otacon22> yes
[03:24] <Seveas> Mez, could be useful
[03:24] <cwillu> Api984: should be able to, I do it
[03:24] <cwillu> Api984: can't access them unless you sudo?
[03:24] <NBarton> I grabbed the courier-authpostgresql package which installe courier-base but I can't find any of the config? am I missing something?
[03:24] <orbin> Otacon22: ok.  type sudo mkdir /media/Lacie
[03:24] <Otacon22> ok
[03:25] <Api984> are u sure
[03:25] <Otacon22> orbin, and now? I have to modify fstab?
[03:25] <cwillu> Api984: ?
[03:25] <NBarton> it doesn't look like I got the whole directory structure....
[03:25] <pjfc> xserver won't load unless I switch to generic video card driver, any sugestions?
[03:25] <cwillu> Api984: I'm asking you if that's what you're doing
[03:25] <jrib> cwillu: /msg ubotu search blah
[03:26] <snoops> cwillu I have that issue too.. eg I places>connect to server .. windows share.. it creates an smb link for me on my desktop.. I go to that, see movies.. right click, media player.. can't play.. vlc/mplayer/totem etc no go.. if I copy the movie to desktop it's fine. If I mount the windows share directly in say fstab then it'll be fine
[03:26] <snoops> Api984 that's the prob right ^ ?
[03:26] <Api984> testing
[03:26] <Api984> testing it from console
[03:27] <taste_enschede> Im am having some problems with setting up a dual screen, anyone experienced with that?
[03:27] <orbin> Otacon22: yep.  add this line like: /dev/sdc5   /media/Lacie   vfat   user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000   0   0
[03:27] <mmilo> jrib: how do i go about installing those files on the restricted list?
[03:27] <cwillu> snoops: Api984:  only way I do it is via fstab
[03:27] <snoops> I'm putting it down to the applications not understanding what smb:// means
[03:27] <jrib> mmilo: can you be more specific?  It varies depending on which particular files you mean
[03:27] <cwillu> the other (smb:// link) is gnome only, and will have limited support for apps
[03:27] <Otacon22> orbin, but I want that all users can read and write
[03:28] <cwillu> Otacon22: 777 for fmask and dmask
[03:28] <Api984> i am logged in as a normal user
[03:28] <Api984> how can I access them imediately
[03:28] <Otacon22> tnx
[03:28] <and__> sdfgsdfggd
[03:28] <mmilo> jrib: well there is a whole bunch, gstreamer, libxine
[03:28] <cwillu> Api984: "sudo mount //server/share /mnt" should do it (read only access)
[03:29] <cryptid> how do i play video files in linux.plz help me.
[03:29] <orbin> Otacon22: yes, that should give you rw.  see the fstab section here if you want: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[03:29] <Api984> thnx
[03:29] <Otacon22> tnx
[03:29] <neutrinomass> !restricted > cryptid
[03:29] <cwillu> so, is user mounting of smb shares borked though?  i.e., share is in fstab, but mounted on user demand?
[03:29] <biscon> Otacon22: you can also pass the "user" flag to mount directly but I can't remember the syntax.. man mount should probably help (if you don't wanna modify /etc/fstab)
[03:30] <C_REATiVE_> re
[03:30] <cwillu> biscon: Otacon22:  same syntax, but "-o " first
[03:30] <snoops> Api984 I found this guide pretty useful https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[03:30] <mmilo> jrib: nevermind, i found them
[03:30] <mmilo> however i still can't seem to play avi files
[03:30] <Api984> share name is : MassS (E) how can i mount that it has ()
[03:31] <jrib> mmilo: what codecs does the file use? what player are you using?
[03:31] <snoops> I had no problem connecting to smb shares and having the 'link' stay on desktop as a user cwillu (hope that answers your q)
[03:31] <Api984> its not the link
[03:31] <Api984> look at the share name
[03:31] <mmilo> jrib: ive tried both gxine and totem
[03:31] <Otacon22> orbin, biscon, cwillu : all work but already I have to be root for see and write files also if I have put user,fmask=777,dmask=777
[03:31] <Api984> the last (E) in share name
[03:32] <jrib> mmilo: and the codec it needs?  right click > properties > audio video tab, should say if you aren't sure
[03:32] <mmilo> jrib: as for the codecs the files are using, they should be divx as far as i know
[03:32] <Api984> root@api984-laptop:/# sudo mount //Api984/MassS (E) /mnt
[03:32] <Api984> bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
[03:32] <snoops> you'll need " " around the share Api984
[03:32] <snoops> since it has a space
[03:32] <mmilo> jrib: DivX MS-MPEG-4 Version 3
[03:32] <cwillu> and a (
[03:32] <cwillu> and a )
[03:33] <cripps> okay ... XGL crashes my gdm ... it'll load to a blank background and the mouse cursor will indicate that it's "working," but nothing happens. it just stays like that. I'm in CLI now, I've restored my old xorg.conf, and remover /usr/bin/thefuture , but I'm still getting the same results. can someone help me to restore my desktop ?
[03:33] <Blaskowitz> I'm having trouble enabling direct rendering for my ati card, can anyone help?
[03:33] <orbin> Blaskowitz: what card?
[03:34] <biscon> Otacon22: sure you given the user parameter right? should work with user
[03:34] <Blaskowitz> radeon x850 pro
[03:34] <Api984> works
[03:34] <Api984> thanks
[03:34] <Otacon22> biscon, /dev/sdc5       /media/Lacie    auto    user,fmask=777,dmask=777  0       0
[03:34] <orbin> Otacon22: did you unmount it and then remounted?
[03:34] <Api984> when i typed in Konquer before smb://host/sharename it worked on older distros
[03:35] <_Rappy_> what do I need to hear the sound on google-videos? I'm using Ubuntu 5.10 and Firefox
[03:35] <Otacon22> yes orbin
[03:35] <orbin> blacktears: fglrx drive should work for that
[03:35] <Api984> smb works like a web server not as a drive
[03:35] <mmilo> jrib: ok, new development, when i move the file over to my machine it plays fine, but I was trying to playing them remotely from a windows machine previously
[03:35] <orbin> Blaskowitz: ^^
[03:35] <orbin> !ati > Blaskowitz
[03:35] <mmilo> jrib: is this something that can be resolved, using samba perhaps?
[03:35] <jrib> mmilo: oh I see, not sure how to make that work
[03:35] <snoops> _Rappy_ flash..
[03:35] <Inferus> lo all
[03:35] <Inferus>  I have a install of debian, and when I try to do a apt-get install ubuntu-desktop i get this thing saying all these packages need installing/upgrading but it's not going to be done... any ideas please?
[03:35] <cryptid> how do i play MPEG video files in linux
[03:36] <Api984> ok
[03:36] <Api984> i am happy with that
[03:36] <Inferus> cryptid: get w32codecs or automatix
[03:36] <Api984> thank you
[03:36] <Blaskowitz> ok thanks for the link orbin
[03:36] <jrib> cryptid: ubotu should have sent you a private message with the information you need
[03:36] <cwillu> anyone know of a livecd with captivefs installed?
[03:37] <mmilo> ok so does anyone know the answer to my little problem? I'm attempting to play video files from a windows box
[03:37] <orbin> Inferus: it's really best to do a clean install...iirc you may run into problems going from debian
[03:37] <mmilo> they only work if i copy them over to my machine, but not if im streaming them from the other comp
[03:37] <Inferus> I run into more problems running it through the dapper installer orbin :)
[03:37] <snoops> mmilo over network? mount the windows shares in fstab
[03:37] <mmilo> fstab?
[03:37] <_Rappy_> snoops : I do have flash :p If not, I would not be able to see them? :) But nomatter what I do I can't get any sound
[03:38] <koito> hi
[03:38] <Inferus> _Rappy_ are you sure your computer has sound? ;)
[03:38] <mmilo> snoops: what's fstab?
[03:38] <Inferus> !fstab
[03:38] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file lists all drives and partitions that are mounted on the system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !partitions
[03:38] <orbin> _Rappy_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats there's a sound+flash section
[03:38] <koito> there is someone that can help me with the sniffit software?
[03:38] <orbin> Inferus: it's a known issue
[03:39] <Inferus> orbin: dapper is a pain in the ass to install ;/
[03:39] <orbin> s/known/common
[03:39] <Inferus> on my home laptop, it worked perfectly
[03:39] <Inferus> on my work desktop, it was a nightmare
[03:39] <mdeboer> mmilo: use Connect To Server from the Places menu
[03:39] <snoops> mmilo you should be able (if it's a temp mount) to get away with simply "sudo mount //servername/sharename  /media/mountname  smbfs  username=myusername,password=mypassword" <- you can clean username and password out if it's not needed
[03:39] <Inferus> on my work server, nightmare!
[03:39] <_Rappy_> Inferus : yes. Ubuntu plays sound on startup. I am able tp listen to web-radio and mp3's
[03:39] <_Rappy_> orbin : thanks :)
[03:39] <orbin> Inferus: i probably can't help you, but OOC, what goes wrong?
[03:40] <mmilo> okie dokie, cuz i just installed this xffm mount app
[03:40] <snoops> or mmilo you can mount the shares permanently if you follow this guide https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[03:40] <knight488> how do I load the intel_apg module?
[03:40] <Inferus> orbin, the filesystem section of the installer is rubbish
[03:40] <Jeeves_Moss> all:  has any one here got any experiance with GPSD?
[03:40] <mmilo> sweet thanks
[03:40] <Inferus> then, when i eventually get it installed
[03:40] <Inferus> grub fails
[03:40] <mmilo> lemme try it out
[03:41] <Jeeves_Moss> all:  any one?  GPSD?
[03:41] <burepe2> I have a tv tuner card and everytime i plug it in my comp won't start. Why is that? can I fix it?
[03:41] <orbin> knight488: lsmod or add it to /etc/modules for bootup loading iirc
[03:42] <orbin> Inferus: any errors w/ the grub fail?
[03:42] <orbin> *error numbers
[03:42] <CrazyDoode> your comp won't start or the os won't load?
[03:42] <knight488> orbin thanks
[03:42] <dhan> hello. anybody know how to connect hp photosmart e317? thanks
[03:42] <orbin> knight488: actually should be modprobe, not lsmod
[03:43] <spik> is it possible for me to stay on the bleeding edge with ubuntu?
[03:43] <Jeeves_Moss> orbin:  do you have any ideas on GPSD?
[03:43] <FifaFrazer> How can i make Gaim automatically start and minimize to the gnome tray when ubuntu starts up ?
[03:43] <schmakk> hello.. if i have installed a way old ubuntu from a cd from.. 2004 i think, and want to upgrade to the latest, am i screwed?
[03:43] <spik> or does ubuntu have the same problems as debian
[03:43] <Jeeves_Moss> spik:  what problems are you thinking of?
[03:44] <jrib> schmakk: what does 'lsb_release -c' say?  You aren't screwed, you just have to do a few upgrades
[03:44] <Frogzoo> FifaFrazer: it's there in options - you need a 'notification panel' applet in your toolbar
[03:44] <spik> Jeeves_Moss: it's not always on the bleeding edge, always a few software releases behind
[03:44] <orbin> Jeeves_Moss: no idea what that stands for, sor probably not :)
[03:44] <spik> example would be amarok, 1.3.9 is on repistory, 1.4 is out
[03:44] <Jeeves_Moss> spik:  naaa, they just test the crap out of it.  I've had fewer problems with my Ubuntu servers than the Debian ones I had previous.
[03:44] <schmakk> jrib, i think that will be a problem, since i have a problem with locales atm, and for some reason lsb is invovled
[03:45] <a_l_e> hello... totem 1.4.1 with gstreamer 0.10.6: i can watch some films but i can't get any sound (beep ok, rythmbox ok). which path can i go to debug it?
[03:45] <Frogzoo> spik: ubuntu is debian downstream - so it's even less bleeding edge than debian afaik
[03:45] <meo10> Hi all, I'm having a problem with my laptop.  I've recently had it repaired, and the motherboard was replaced (same model).  Now my dapper install won't recognize my wired ethernet port.  The wireless one works just like it used to, but the wired just isn't showing up when I type ifconfig eth1 (what it used to be).  It is visible when I lspci and there are no dmesg's about it.
[03:45] <mmilo> hmmm
[03:45] <Jeeves_Moss> spik:  I've also found that Ubuntu finds a lot more hardware with less fuss.
[03:45] <mmilo> im not sure how to actually mount this folder
[03:45] <yvan_> hello
[03:45] <jrib> schmakk: yes, it's probably best to resolve that first.  Maybe you can put your errors on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ and give everyone here a link to see if anyone can help
[03:45] <yvan_> is there a repository for the wen-kernel?
[03:46] <CrazyDoode> meo10: what type of lappy? and what type of card broadcom?
[03:46] <Frogzoo> a_l_e: installed libxine-extracodecs ?
[03:46] <spik> Jeeves_Moss, how can I get the latest versions then?
[03:46] <jrib> nautilus search seems to ignore hidden folders.  Is there a way for it not to do this?  Or am I wrong?
 Inferus: any errors w/ the grub fail? << usualy 17 or 18
[03:46] <Frogzoo> !fixxine
[03:46] <meo10> CrazyDoode: Acer Ferrari 3200 and yes broadcom
[03:46] <spik> I'm new to apt-get
[03:46] <ubotu> I know nothing about fixxine
[03:46] <a_l_e> Frogzoo: no, does it use xine?
[03:46] <mmilo> i managed to mount the server, but i still cant stream files off of it
[03:46] <schmakk> jrib, ok, gimme a few mins then :)
[03:46] <Jeeves_Moss> jrib:  any ides on my GPSD issue?
[03:46] <mmilo> so im assuming i need to mount the specific folder?
[03:46] <orbin> schmakk: cat /etc/issue is an alternative
[03:46] <Frogzoo> a_l_e: install it, see how you go
[03:46] <Inferus> uh oh meo10!]
[03:46] <a_l_e> Frogzoo: ok
[03:46] <Myth> :-D http://digg.com/gadgets/Fake_Mailer :-D
[03:46] <CrazyDoode> meo10: easy to fix.. meet me in #ubuntu-laptop
[03:46] <jrib> Jeeves_Moss: no, sorry.  I don't even know what that is
[03:46] <Inferus> acer laptop + weireless is hard
[03:47] <meo10> Inferus: I have the wireless working, its the wired!! :P
[03:47] <orbin> Inferus: that's usually something to do w/ the partitioning iirc, searched the forums for the grub errors? ubuntuforums.org
[03:47] <Jeeves_Moss> jrib:  ok, thanks.  I think I'm going to go to the #debian channel and get laughed @ to ask.
[03:47] <schmakk> orbin, Ubuntu 4.10 "Warty Warthog"
[03:47] <meo10> CrazyDoode: I'm in #ubuntu-laptop
[03:48] <mmilo> when I'm mounting a windows share, how do i specify the exact folder i want to access
[03:48] <snoops> mmilo you mounted it in say /media/mywinshare right.. then went to that folder?
[03:48] <knight488> orbin yeah I did with modprobe, how do you remove it after?
[03:48] <a_l_e> Frogzoo: still no sound (i've restarted totem after installing)
[03:48] <FifaFrazer> Frogzoo I can't find it in the gaim options...
[03:48] <orbin> knight488: same command iric
[03:48] <mmilo> snoops: no i went to places, and clicked connect to server, and then picked windows share from the drop down
[03:48] <meo10> !fwcutter
[03:48] <ubotu> I know nothing about fwcutter
[03:49] <snoops> yeah that won't allow you to stream it it seems mmilo since it uses an smb link rather than a proper mount
[03:50] <mmilo> snoops: aha, so i actually need to type the stuff in the terminal
[03:50] <knight488> orbin yeah I did modprobe, how do I disablea module?
[03:50] <Frogzoo> FifaFrazer: ok - add it to 'sys -> prefs -> sessions -> startup'
[03:50] <a_l_e> "don't know how to handle audio/mpeg," blah blah... any idea?
[03:50] <snoops> oh mmilo well you know windows has all drives shared by default, they're just hidden.. you can for instance get to the c drive of a machine at <IP_ADDRESS> with mount with mount -t smbfs -o username=usernamehere,passsword=passwordhere //<IP_ADDRESS>/C$ /media/myCdrive
[03:50] <Frogzoo> a_l_e: you read the restricted page & installed the codecs?
[03:50] <Frogzoo> !restricted

[03:51] <orbin> knight488: modprobe -r
[03:51] <a_l_e> Frogzoo: i'm reading it.
[03:51] <Frogzoo> FifaFrazer: actually, if you just leave gaim open when you log off, gaim will startup when youlogin
[03:51] <mmilo> nope i didn't know that snoops but thats pretty good to know
[03:51] <schmakk> jrib, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16693
[03:51] <snoops> you'll need to sudo that too mmilo.. and if you want it permanent I recommend you follow that permanently mount windows shares wiki page I pasted to ya above
[03:51] <FifaFrazer> cool
[03:52] <sztanpet> my problem is that i added the multiverse repos to the source list, updated the whole thing but i still have no packages like mplayer or msttcorefonts
[03:52] <knight488> orbin, thnks again
[03:52] <mmilo> yep i read those snoops but they didn't make a whole of sense
[03:52] <jrib> sztanpet: can you put your current sources.list on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ please?
[03:52] <mmilo> i've been using linux for a grand total of half an hour so far so i'm still getting to grips with things
[03:52] <sztanpet> jrib sure thing, just a sec
[03:52] <a_l_e> Frogzoo: ok, it seams that i have to install the bad and ugly plugins.
[03:52] <snoops> ah right okay mmilo :)
[03:53] <dg10050> How do I install Alsa in Dapper?
[03:53] <root_> hi any1 here?
[03:53] <snoops> you can leave out the whole -o username=usernamehere,passsword=passwordhere if it doesn't require a password
[03:53] <FJSanchez> Hi everybody
[03:53] <root_> i have a canon i960 printer how can i install it so i can print?
[03:53] <dg10050> Can anyone help me install alsa?
[03:53] <mmilo> snoops: instead of the ip can i use the host name?
[03:53] <Jeeves_Moss> all:  ok, I'm back.  time to figure out how to tell what USB # something is plugged into.  Any one with any ideas?
[03:53] <sztanpet> jrib here it is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16694
[03:54] <root_> i have a canon i960 printer how can i install it so i can print?
[03:54] <snoops> should be able to mmilo
[03:54] <mmilo> ill give it a go
[03:54] <snoops> but I always find it safer using static ip's
[03:55] <jrib> sztanpet: you only have dapper-backports multiverse, but you want dapper multiverse.  Just add " multiverse" at the end of all the lines that contain "universe" but don't already have "multiverse"
[03:55] <knight488> anyone using a working ATI card?

[03:55] <FJSanchez> I have a problem with fonts, when I open applications like Ati Control panel or Eagle I cannot read the text, it appears a lot of squares instead. Can somebody help me?
[03:55] <dg10050> Knight: I do
[03:55] <dg10050> x800
[03:55] <Frogzoo> !fglrx
[03:55] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your monitor, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:55] <a_l_e> root_: what did you already try?
[03:56] <Frogzoo> knight488: which card?
[03:56] <knight488> Frogzoo, dg10050 do you guys notice a kind of lag with the mouse when using high resoluion opengl programs?
[03:56] <sztanpet> jrib thanks again, it works
[03:56] <mmilo> whats the escaped character for a space?
[03:56] <FJSanchez> knight488, I'm using a Mobility radeon 9700
[03:56] <sztanpet> bb
[03:56] <mmilo> is it %20?
[03:56] <knight488> Xpress 200M
[03:56] <a_l_e> Frogzoo: ok, it was the bad and ugly plugins!
[03:56] <Frogzoo> knight488: best the lappie does is 1280x800 so ....
[03:56] <snoops> mmilo just encapsulate it with " "
[03:57] <snoops> if your mount has spaces in the folder names
[03:57] <knight488> Frogzoo hm by high I mean 800x600 or higher
[03:57] <Frogzoo> a_l_e: well, & the libxine-extracodecs ;)
[03:57] <jrib> schmakk: I'm not sure what causes that error, try searching for it on the forums
[03:57] <root_> is there a canon i960 driver 4 linux?
[03:57] <FJSanchez> I have a problem with fonts, when I open applications like Ati Control panel or Eagle I cannot read the text, it appears a lot of squares instead. Can somebody help me?
[03:57] <moein> I'm looking for a fast (about 600Mhz) embedded device. Anybody knows any device ?
[03:57] <Frogzoo> knight488: usb mouse?
[03:57] <knight488> Frogzoo like when I run Enemy Territory at 800x600 theres a slight mouse lag, and if I go any higher it gets worse, can notice it in wine and cedega too when I try to fire up World of Warcraft
[03:57] <Frogzoo> knight488: & stoopid question - what's your cpu/ram?
[03:58] <mmilo> crud, im not in root mode
[03:58] <KuLover> Has anyone tried the new ATI drivers release? Version 8.26.18?
[03:58] <snoops> mmilo had a sudo before it
[03:58] <dg10050> I have the latest
[03:58] <snoops> sudo mount...etc
[03:58] <mmilo> whats a sudo?
[03:58] <snoops> super user do
[03:58] <knight488> Frogzoo yeah ub mouse, but it's the same with touchpad... 64bit AMD 1.8ghz and 1024MB RAM
[03:58] <schmakk> jrib, i tried and found a few pointers, but nothing has worked so far. Tried google and found more stuff there, still no go :/
[03:58] <snoops> it's what ubuntu uses instead of a root account
[03:58] <knight488> usb*
[03:58] <mmilo> cool
[03:58] <mmilo> ok so i think i mounted it
[03:59] <mmilo> or at least the command ran without any error messages
[03:59] <snoops> haha good sign
[03:59] <root_> 4 ati cards go here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[03:59] <mmilo> but i cant see any mounted folders anywhere
[03:59] <KuLover> dg10050 The latest ATi drivers?
[03:59] <snoops> you should be able to find it in places.. if you mounted it in /media/somefolder
[03:59] <snoops> mmilo what mounted folder did you choose?
[03:59] <dg10050> yes
[03:59] <Frogzoo> knight488: 64bit might be the problem - dunno, no problems here (not that I'd really notice a small lag, say < 0.1secs)
[03:59] <FJSanchez> Mmm, I'm trying to use gpsim but it segfault for me if i have a config file in my home dir
[03:59] <mmilo> ok lets say the box has a name of winbox
[04:00] <a_l_e> root_: are you sure that you need a driver for linux? does the ppd for windows work?
[04:00] <FJSanchez> can someone try it?
[04:00] <mmilo> and its entire d drive is shared
[04:00] <KuLover> dg10050 Do you still have problemns with X applications?
[04:00] <knight488> Frogzoo whats your fps when you run glxgears and fgl_glxgears?
[04:00] <dg10050> not really
[04:00] <knight488> Frogzoo I'm using 32bit ubuntu, 64bit was giving too much problems
[04:00] <dg10050> Just got back from america's army
[04:00] <dg10050> it worked fine
[04:00] <mmilo> and inside is the shows/someshow/someseason/anepisode.avi structure
[04:00] <mmilo> how would i go about mounting that?
[04:01] <snoops> well, just mount the someseason folder
[04:01] <snoops> or the entire drive
[04:01] <KuLover> dg10050 Cool! Did you used to have problems? Like random GUI freezes?
[04:01] <Frogzoo> knight488: just realised the meta updates have clobbered my fglrx driver :p - but could get 500fps in fgl_glxgears
[04:01] <mmilo> but whats the syntax for the entire drive?
[04:01] <dg10050> KuLover: No, I just installed Ubuntu and upgraded the drivers. :D
[04:02] <dg10050> I've been using Ubuntu for 2 days
[04:02] <snoops> such as.. sudo mount -t smbfs //winbox/D$ /media/SomeFolderYouCreatedBeforeHand
[04:02] <KuLover> dg10050 Haha.. just now? and your on 8.26.18?
[04:02] <mmilo> ahhhhh, i have to create the folder beforehand
[04:02] <dg10050> If that's the latest
[04:02] <freezey> i need help with my samba for some reason it keeps crappin out on me
[04:02] <snoops> mmilo yep "sudo mkdir /media/somefolder" for instance
[04:03] <KuLover> dg10050 Nicce
[04:03] <snoops> you don't have to mount it to media.. but if you do, it'll show up under places
[04:03] <orbin> have they fixed the suspend issue yet?
[04:03] <dg10050> It can be a little jumpy in America's Army, but not too bad
[04:03] <knight488> Frogzoo do you think 150fps for fgl_glxgears is low for the type of card I have?
[04:03] <knight488> even normal glxgears gives about 900
[04:04] <Frogzoo> knight488: sry, which card?
[04:04] <dg10050> How can you tell the FPS in glxgears?
[04:04] <knight488> Frogzoo, x200M
[04:04] <burepe> I got a small problem. I got a tv tuner card and when I start my comp after plugin it in the comp won't start. The comp is getting power but the bios don't come up. Any suggestions?
[04:04] <snoops> glxgears -printfs dg10050
[04:04] <Frogzoo> knight488: glxinfo |grep direct
[04:04] <snoops> err -printfps  rather
[04:04] <dg10050> k thx
[04:05] <a_l_e> root_: http://www.linuxprinting.org/pipermail/canon-list/2004q2/001530.html
[04:05] <paul__> Is anyone having problems with gnome panel saying that it has unexpectedly quit when you run an application from the run application command line?
[04:05] <knight488> dg10050 glxgears -printfps
[04:05] <elie> it say error objects not found
[04:05] <dg10050> k

[04:07] <Raito> How come ubuntu is there twice on grub?
[04:07] <mmilo> i just put in mdir /media/
[04:07] <knight488> Frogzoo, direct rendering: Yes
[04:07] <knight488> Frogzoo but cedega fails me at the 3d acceleration test about 30% of the time, so I dunno
[04:07] <Inferus> one for recovery Raito?
[04:07] <mmilo> mkdir*
[04:07] <elie> when i login and log off and log in another user and then log off my screen turns off and become black and the sound of logg off freeze like tttt
[04:07] <snoops> media is already there mmilo
[04:07] <snoops> it exists on all dapper installs
[04:07] <Raito> Inferus: two ubuntus and two recoveries and one memtest
[04:07] <mmilo> where?
[04:07] <elie> when i login and log off and log in another user and then log off my screen turns off and become black and the sound of logg off freeze like tttt
[04:08] <orbin> Raito: look at the kernels
[04:08] <mmilo> nevermind i found it
[04:08] <snoops> "/media" <- that's its location in the file system.. / being the root of the filesystem
[04:08] <dg10050> Anyone know how to get alsa working in dapper?
[04:08] <knight488> dg10050 what card/proc/ram?
[04:08] <elie> any1 can help plz
[04:08] <backz> How I use mkisofs splitting .iso in several files of 700mb ? -split-output argument only works with 1GB files...
[04:08] <dg10050> SB Live! 24-bit
[04:08] <mmilo> so linux doesnt really have drives perse
[04:08] <erUSUL> !sound > dg10050
[04:09] <Raito> orbin: exactly the same
[04:09] <mmilo> just a filesystem
[04:09] <snoops> mmilo I prefer the whole / structure to be honest.. can't run out of drive letters
[04:09] <elie> any1? when i login and log off and log in another user and then log off my screen turns off and become black and the sound of logg off freeze like tttt
[04:09] <mmilo> how does it work when you load up a removable drive though?
[04:10] <dg10050> erUSUL: I can't find that menu.
[04:10] <dg10050> ?_?
[04:10] <knight488> dg10050 what proc/videocard/ram are you pulling those FPS from?
[04:10] <dg10050> Radeon x800 256mb
[04:10] <knight488> welcome back Frogzoo
[04:10] <snoops> mmilo it'll say automount to say /media/usbdrive or /media/nameofusedrive or media/nameofremovabledrive
[04:11] <dg10050> gddr3 ram
[04:11] <mmilo> aha cool
[04:11] <elie> any1? when i login and log off and log in another user and then log off my screen turns off and become black and the sound of logg off freeze like tttt
[04:11] <erUSUL> !sound
[04:11] <ubotu> If sound is not working, first try system -> prefrences -> multimedia system selector change it to alsa. If you still have problems then look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems
[04:11] <jeeves_Moss> all:  any one have any idea how to figure out that /dev/usb # a device is?
[04:11] <mmilo> ok so now i finally got everything figured out with the directory structure and mounting and sudo and all that
[04:11] <mmilo> so i tried mounting the drive and it said bad fs
[04:11] <dg10050> erUSUL: I can't find that menu!
[04:11] <mmilo> wrong fs type rather
[04:11] <snoops> umm.. try leaving out the -t smbfs mmilo
[04:12] <FJSanchez> How can I list all libraries a apps depend?
[04:12] <knight488> Welcome back again Frozoo, and about your question earlier: direct rendering: Yes
[04:12] <FJSanchez> Not using apt or dpkg
[04:12] <wildekek> does anyone know how to stop a usb device? (not unmounting, but stopping)
[04:12] <FJSanchez> I mean all libraries that it loads dinamically
[04:12] <mmilo> nope same thing
[04:12] <erUSUL> dg10050: try gstreamer-properties in a terminal is the same program.
[04:12] <mmilo> i did replace the username and password with guest though
[04:12] <dg10050> k
[04:12] <mmilo> since theres no username and password
[04:12] <freezey> samba was working like 2 days ago now its crapping out on me again... can someone assit me with this?
[04:12] <erUSUL> dg10050: try the web pages too
[04:12] <mmilo> should i not type guest in there?
[04:12] <snoops> just simply "sudo mount //computeronnetwork/sharename /media/folderyoucreated" ?
[04:13] <Frogzoo> knight488: well 200 is not very good, don't know what you can do though - methinks ati's crap drivers strike again
[04:13] <dg10050> thx it worked
[04:13] <dg10050> I need it for games
[04:13] <mmilo> nope still says wrong fs type
[04:13] <Speek> When starting up my Ubuntu it freezes when it configures network interfaces
[04:13] <snoops> what's the exact line you're pasting mmilo?
[04:14] <elie> any1 can help?
[04:14] <knight488> Frogzoo yeah this is my first time messing with an ATI card at all, no idea what could be making the mouse input lag like that? I'd settle for a remote guess at this point, it's pretty annoying
[04:14] <mmilo> "sudo mount nameofhost/nameofdir /media/nameofotherdir
[04:14] <alterr> hello, i'd like to report a bug about bluetooth RFCOMM bind/unbind, where  can i do it ?
[04:14] <dg10050> Yay, mp3's!!!
[04:15] <dg10050> Now that I have alsa set up
[04:15] <snoops> mmilo you must have the //nameofhost/sharedfolder /media/nameofotherdir..
[04:15] <cwillu> how do I add a folder to the places menu again?
[04:15] <mmilo> oops yea sorry i had that already
[04:16] <mmilo> /nameofhost/sharedfolder /media/newfolder
[04:16] <mmilo> with the two //
[04:16] <snoops> needs to be two //
[04:16] <mmilo> yup it i
[04:16] <mmilo> is
[04:16] <knight488> Frogzoo not even a guess?
[04:16] <snoops> could you paste what the exact line where you're getting the error.. copy and paste from terminal
[04:17] <erUSUL> alterr: in the ubuntu bug db in launchpad.com
[04:17] <Frogzoo> knight488: my best guess is that it's ATIs crappy drivers
[04:17] <erUSUL> alterr: in the ubuntu bug db in launchpad.net
[04:17] <elie> any1? when i login and log off and log in another user and then log off my screen turns off and become black and the sound of logg off freeze like tttt
[04:17] <cwillu> custom entries in the places menu?
[04:18] <Speek> Why does ubuntu freeze on startup? :(
[04:18] <knight488> arg
[04:18] <mmilo> wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //theHost/theFolder
[04:18] <mmilo> missing codepage or other error
[04:18] <knight488> Frogzoo this is my first laptop, how hard is it to replace the videocard with a nice nvidia card?
[04:18] <snoops> mmilo I need the EXACT line you typed to generate that error, including the machine names and folder names etc
[04:19] <Ng> knight488: laptops almost never have upgradable video cards
[04:19] <mmilo> sudo mount //SAMEER/D /media/sameer
[04:20] <snoops> okay.. missing the $
[04:20] <IKE> how long time does it take to install ?
[04:20] <mmilo> before the D?
[04:20] <snoops> after.. //SAMEER/D$
[04:20] <n00b> My Gnome environment is behaving strangely
[04:20] <mmilo> tried before and after, same error
[04:20] <dg10050> What are some good free games for linux?
[04:20] <n00b> When NumLock is on, the digits dont come
[04:21] <mmilo> very strange
[04:21] <Frogzoo> knight488: not sure if it's possible - will depend on the lappie I imagine
[04:21] <snoops> okay.. I wonder if you don't have smbfs.. hmm mmilo type "sudo apt-get install smbfs"
[04:21] <n00b> When NumLock is off, the digits are enabled
[04:21] <n00b> Any Solutions
[04:21] <mmilo> seems to be doing something
[04:21] <bit_doidao> Hi! Im having troubles with using skype at the same time of listen. can anyone help-me?
[04:22] <mmilo> aha
[04:22] <_absolution_> can I change files using the rox-filer?
[04:22] <snoops> mmilo it'll just be downloading and installing it
[04:22] <mmilo> a different error now
[04:22] <elie> any1? when i login and log off and log in another user and then log off my screen turns off and become black and the sound of logg off freeze like tttt
[04:22] <_absolution_> mainly "fluxbox"
[04:22] <mmilo> tree connect failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)
[04:22] <elie> any1?
[04:23] <snoops> cool.. the whole D$ needs passwords, since they aren't shared.. well they are shared, but they're hidden
[04:23] <kalosaurusrex> someone mind walking me through troubleshooting sound card...darn thing was working yesterday..
[04:23] <snoops> if you've actually just shared D by rightclicking the drive and sharing it under the name D then you should be able to leave out the $
[04:23] <mmilo> took out the $ and presto it works
[04:23] <cwillu> any ops handy?  I was trying to find info on beagle pm'ing ubotu, and apparently too many searches returning nothing gets me ignored :/
[04:24] <snoops> mmilo fyi not all problems are this hard to solve ;)
[04:24] <mmilo> oh i think this is a good thing
[04:24] <mmilo> i've learnt quite a lot from this little problem
[04:24] <snoops> if you click on 'places' you should see 'your folder name'
[04:24] <mmilo> popped up on the desktop immeadiately
[04:24] <philus> I'm having trouble getting GParted to apply changes.
[04:25] <philus>  Once I tell it what I want done, it says applying operations
[04:25] <dg10050> Does anyone know of some good free games?
[04:25] <mmilo> and it works fine now since all the thumbnails showed up for the video files
[04:25] <philus> But it only formats my unallocated space
[04:25] <philus> It doesn't resize my NTFS partition
[04:25] <dg10050> Get the gparted live cd
[04:25] <mmilo> awesome work *highfive*
[04:25] <philus> dg10050: Do you have a location?
[04:25] <dg10050> It worked for me, when the Ubuntu one didn't
[04:25] <dg10050> google gparted
[04:26] <snoops> mmilo, cool beans dude. I believe when you reboot that drive won't be mounted anymore.. so that wiki I pasted before goes through how to make it permanent
[04:26] <philus> dg10050: Thanks a bunch!
[04:26] <dg10050> http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[04:26] <mmilo> kewl
[04:26] <dg10050> it worked perfectly for me
[04:26] <dg10050> the Ubuntu one is old
[04:26] <mmilo> well i have to be off to bed now cuz ill be totally wiped for work tomorrow
[04:26] <philus> dg10050: Thank you!
[04:27] <mmilo> but thanks so much for your help dude, i'll be hanging around here a fair bit im pretty sure so ill see you around
[04:27] <mmilo> night all
[04:27] <snoops> mmilo drop in now and again.. I'm keen to see how you find it after a bit of use.. oh
[04:27] <amarokker> Hi, is there any way to download hotmail in evolution?
[04:27] <Jack_Sparrow> nite
[04:27] <mmilo> will do :)
[04:27] <snoops> this may help mmilo.. one sec I'll get the link
[04:27] <mmilo> kk
[04:27] <philus> amarokker: I think hotmail has disabled all POP3 without paying for it
[04:27] <dg10050> Does anyone know of a few good games for linux?
[04:27] <snoops> mmilo ubuntu is a little bit different.. but this is helpful to anyone new imo http://www.secguru.com/files/linux_file_structure.jpg
[04:27] <elie_> any1? when i login and log off and log in another user and then log off my screen turns off and become black and the sound of logg off freeze like tttt
[04:28] <Jack_Sparrow> amarokker: IS that hotmail account pop3?
[04:28] <mmilo> will give it a read thanks
[04:28] <philus> Jack_Sparrow: Aren't most of them?
[04:28] <mmilo> nite again all
[04:28] <mmilo> catch you later
[04:28] <philus> If not all?
[04:28] <amarokker> philus: it neednt be pop3- i think i saw some plugin for kmail- it emulated their servers, downloaded mail to the computer and then got kmail to read the mail from mbox
[04:28] <cai-5> trht
[04:28] <Jack_Sparrow> philus: No
[04:29] <philus> Alright, my apologies then
[04:29] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[04:29] <Jack_Sparrow> I pay $10 a year for Yahoo premium which allows Pop3
[04:29] <_absolution_> so can I make changes using "Rox-Filer"??
[04:30] <amarokker> althought, i might be over my head- and another source of irritation- i have this adsl-usb modem, which needs to be given a command ('eaglectrl -d') until its status becomes 'operational'-
[04:30] <amarokker> in which case, is it possible to write a startup script which checks the modem status and keep on issuing the command until the modem fires up?
[04:30] <amarokker> Now, I have to do the boring bit manually.
[04:31] <freezey> whats the command to completely remove a program... like take it completely off so i can start it over from scratch
[04:32] <snoops> apt-get remove programname ?
[04:32] <freezey> no
[04:32] <freezey> when u reinstall it
[04:32] <freezey> all the old files that u had on it come back
[04:32] <stefg> apt-get remove --purge
[04:32] <Hexidigital_> freezey:: apt-get remove --purge {package}
[04:32] <Hexidigital_> stefg:: beat me to it
[04:33] <apokryphos> !purge
[04:33] <ubotu> I know nothing about purge
[04:33] <apokryphos> hm
[04:33] <freezey> dam i just did that and i reinstalled samba
[04:33] <freezey> and all the old config files are back
[04:33] <Dawn_> Hello people, I pretty did something pretty stupid, my PC stopped while upgrading to dapper drake, and now the X server mismatches my nvidia videocard thingie, any suggestions?
[04:33] <kalosaurusrex> does purge work with ubuntu-desktop?
[04:33] <apokryphos> no
[04:33] <Mastastealth> o.o
[04:33] <Mastastealth> !es
[04:33] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[04:33] <kalosaurusrex> dawn there is a thing in the forums on that.
[04:33] <apokryphos> kalosaurusrex: as in, it won't do anything special.
[04:34] <kalosaurusrex> apok:  ahh gotcha.
[04:34] <freezey> hexidigital_: i did the purge and then i reinstalled samba and all the old config files are still there
[04:34] <Dawn_> kalosaurusrex, I wish I could go to the forums, but X server videocard mismatch = no X server = no gnome = no browser ;)
[04:34] <kalosaurusrex> ahh hehe yeah that could be a problem..
[04:34] <kalosaurusrex> lynx?
[04:34] <Hexidigital_> freezey:: did you check if the service was running after you purged?
[04:35] <Mastastealth> Dawn_: you dont get a screen anymore?
[04:35] <Dawn_> kalosaurusrex, I'd prefer not to, cause I'm a complete g00n on the command line
[04:35] <freezey> well i stopped the service
[04:35] <freezey> before i purged
[04:35] <kalosaurusrex> lynx is easy though.  promise!
[04:35] <Dawn_> Mastastealth: Well, according to the X log my nvidia driver doesnt match the driver the X server expects
[04:35] <Mastastealth> btw, has anyone been experience some nasty slowdowns on ubuntu's servers? (apt, forums, irc, etc.)
[04:36] <Bassetts> how can i open SVGs?
[04:36] <kalosaurusrex> there is a script you have to run to fix it...lemme see if I can find the url for ya.
[04:36] <freezey> hexidigital_: i stopped the service before i purged... but whats the command to see the processes running
[04:36] <Dawn_> kalosaurusrex, that'd be wonderful, but I doubt irsii can do dcc, so I'll have to wget it
[04:36] <Hexidigital_> freezey:: that's odd...
[04:36] <Mastastealth> oh ok Dawn_, there's an easy fix for that, I had it once, lemme find the instructions on that
[04:36] <jukka> Hi! Is anybody successfully using NetworkManager?
[04:36] <kalosaurusrex> sure that's np
[04:36] <Bassetts> !svg
[04:37] <ubotu> svg is Scalable Vector Graphics, a language used for graphical applications in XML, and a W3 recommendation. SVG Editors: Inkscape, Karbon14
[04:37] <Mastastealth> Dawn_: http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Latest_Nvidia_Dapper#WHAT_HAPPENS_IF_YOU_CHANGE_YOUR_KERNEL_OR_IF_YOUR_KERNEL_IS_UPDATED
[04:37] <kalosaurusrex> Dawn: this your error:
[04:37] <kalosaurusrex> error: API Mismatch the Nvidia kernel module has the version 1.0-7174 but this X modules has the version 1.0-8756.
[04:37] <Dawn_> kalosaurusrex: exactly ! =)
[04:37] <Hexidigital_> freezey:: i cant find the command... do you have gnome installed?
[04:38] <freezey> yeah
[04:38] <kalosaurusrex> dawn: k hold on I'll get the wget path for you
[04:38] <Dawn_> kalosaurusrex: lovely
[04:38] <kalosaurusrex> dawn: dapper/32?
[04:38] <Hexidigital_> freezey:: system > admin > services
[04:38] <kalosaurusrex> I'm assuming.
[04:38] <kalosaurusrex> 32 bit even.
[04:38] <Dawn_> kalosaurusrex: I dont know if its dapper or breezy now
[04:38] <Dawn_> since it crashed while updating
[04:38] <bit_doidao> Anyone knows how to solve skype "problem with sound" error? i cant use skype and listen at the same time :(
[04:38] <kalosaurusrex> hmm assuming dapper if you did the dapper dist-upgrade
[04:39] <Dawn_> must be smt. like "breezer" or "dappzy" xD
[04:39] <freezey> hexidigital_: you know a better networking utility then samba?
[04:39] <kalosaurusrex> wget http://www.albertomilone.eu/ubuntu/nvidia/scripts/envy_8762_32
[04:39] <kalosaurusrex> then
[04:39] <Hexidigital_> freezey:: sorry, but i have no need to... i disown windows :)
[04:39] <Hexidigital_> freezey:: what about nfs?
[04:39] <kalosaurusrex> mv envy_8762_32 envy_8762_32.sh
[04:39] <kalosaurusrex> chmod 777 envy_8762_32.sh
[04:39] <kalosaurusrex> ./envy_8762_32.sh
[04:40] <Dawn_> ok ill quit irsii to do the commands thanks
[04:40] <Dawn_> brb
[04:40] <kalosaurusrex> may need to run sudo too
[04:40] <freezey> hexidigital_: thats something all in its own
[04:40] <Hexidigital_> freezey:: ah... sorry :(
[04:44] <sonics> can someone tell what the "SH" command actually means?
[04:45] <Ng> sonics: it's a shell
[04:45] <elie_> any1? when i login and log off and log in another user and then log off my screen turns off and become black and the sound of logg off freeze like tttt
[04:45] <Ng> sonics: specifically, the bourne shell. bash is the bourne again shell (pun intended) and is what runs when you run a terminal. sh is usually just used for scripts
[04:45] <sonics> what does the shell actually do when I type  sudo sh program.bin ?
[04:46] <sonics> ah
[04:46] <Dawn_> kalosaurusrex: Thank you very much, it worked =) <3 you ^^
[04:46] <sonics> it tuns scripts
[04:46] <sonics> runs
[04:46] <kalosaurusrex> dawn: great!
[04:47] <Dawn_> keep up the good work, then imma quit irc quick cause im root
[04:48] <CrazyDoode> funny that postfix configuration sometimes fails on loading, then it's ok on the next boot.  funny that.
[04:49] <Hexidigital_> it's real quiet in here today.... odd
[04:49] <arun_> ubotu: upgrade to dapper from breezy
[04:49] <Hexidigital_> !upgrade

[04:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Need help with the restricted formats.  I am following the howto... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats#w32codecs and the wget is fine.  Says the file is fully retrieved.   When I try to install it with sudo it gives error file not found
[04:51] <montbazin> bonjour  tous
[04:51] <apokryphos> Jack_Sparrow: sudo dpkg -i w32codecs_20060611-0.0_i386.deb   ....doesn't work?
[04:51] <Jack_Sparrow> no

[04:51] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[04:51] <apokryphos> Jack_Sparrow: then wget wasn't successful
[04:51] <Jack_Sparrow> I tried to reget and it says file is full retrieved.
[04:52] <apokryphos> Jack_Sparrow: ls|grep w32 ...gives?
[04:52] <apokryphos> Jack_Sparrow: or ls -lh|grep w32 ...better

[04:53] <da_putzler> hi folks
[04:53] <Jack_Sparrow> apokryphos: That did nothing
[04:53] <da_putzler> could someone please help me with an Idiot's Guide to setting up Internet Sharing in Ubuntu ??? please
[04:54] <montbazin> i'm sorry to be on the wrong list
[04:54] <apokryphos> Jack_Sparrow: well then the file's not there then, is it? wget couldn't have worked, in that directory
[04:54] <Hexidigital_> montbazin:: :)
[04:56] <stefg> da_putzler: Just enter the IP of the ubuntu-machine connectecd to the Net as a gateway for the other machines
[04:56] <apokryphos> Jack_Sparrow: you can also just grab them from Seveas' repository
[04:56] <Jack_Sparrow> apokryphos: THanks, even thought it said it had it there was a typo in my first line, fixed it and things should now work. Very much appreciate the help
[04:58] <Hexidigital_> hmm... my server install seems to be stuck on Configuring APT.... Testing Network Repository... (second time)
[04:58] <snedar> hi! I've been trying to get alsa/oss mixing working for ages, but I can't find the right solution. I'm using an integrated nforce3 card. is there a good solution, or does it really depend on the application (whether it supports aoss or alsa)?
[04:59] <schmakk> jrib, if you are still there, could you give me a hand with the upgrading now? it seems as if i resolved my locales problems
[05:00] <amigamia> can someone tell me if the leftists won the mexico election!!!! i hope so i may add.
[05:00] <gavinchappell> Hexidigital_: are you behind any firewalls which block direct connections to the Internet?
[05:00] <Hexidigital_> gavinchappell:: no, direct connection to cable modem
[05:00] <amigamia> what is the ubuntu mexico channel?
[05:00] <amigamia> chao seveas
[05:01] <Inferus> Hexidigital_, are you talking to us on the same connection/machine ?
[05:01] <amigamia> what is the ubuntu mexico channel?
[05:01] <Hexidigital_> Infecto_:: no, i'm on my laptop
[05:01] <Inferus> amigamia what language do you speak
[05:01] <Inferus> spanish?
[05:01] <Hexidigital_> Infecto_:: same connection, i suppose
[05:01] <da_putzler> could someone please help me with an Idiot's Guide to setting up Internet Sharing in Ubuntu ??? please
[05:01] <amigamia> no
[05:01] <aradfdf> !wma
[05:01] <ubotu> For lots of multimedia issues this page has the useful information you want: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  see also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - Please use free formats: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[05:01] <dg10050> how do you copy in a console?
[05:01] <Hexidigital_> Infecto_:: sorry, intended for Inferus
[05:01] <Hexidigital_> Inferus:: ^^
[05:01] <dg10050> copy files

[05:01] <Hexidigital_> oh, nevermind....
[05:01] <amigamia> brazil
[05:01] <amigamia> chao
[05:02] <Hexidigital_> Inferus:: it's finishing... it just took an aweful long time
[05:02] <edneymatias> hello all!
[05:02] <jrib> !pt
[05:02] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br  ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigada.
[05:02] <Inferus> least it got there in the end Hexidigital_ :)
[05:02] <Inferus> lol
[05:02] <jrib> schmakk: sure, what step are you on now?
[05:03] <Hexidigital_> Inferus:: i guess i didnt wait long enough the first time, i did the old MS solution... (Ctrl + Alt + Del)
[05:03] <edneymatias> why my environment variable LANG is set to POSIX? After installing ubuntu it was pretty nice, setted to pt_BR.utf8, but it was changed after installing kubuntu-desktop. indeed the setting is right for the installation user, but it isn't for ldap user. How can i correct this variable?
[05:03] <schmakk> jrib, step 0 i assume, i installed from an old cd from 2004 and have updated whatever packages there was to update
[05:03] <SonicChao_> #mepis
[05:03] <SonicChao_> woops
[05:04] <SonicChao_> sorry
[05:04] <SonicChao_> forgot the /join
[05:04] <jrib> schmakk: ok, first let's find out the current release you have.  What does 'lsb_release -c' return in a terminal?
[05:04] <schmakk> warty
[05:04] <da_putzler> any networking experts in today ???
[05:04] <gavinchappell> da_putzler: not expert, but what's the problem
[05:04] <apokryphos> !anyone
[05:04] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[05:05] <da_putzler> gavin: am trying to share an internet connection using Ubuntu to my wife's XP laptop
[05:05] <Hexidigital_> uh, oh.... i broke it badly
[05:05] <jrib> schmakk: ok the safest thing to do is jump release to release.  If this is a fresh install, are you sure you don't just want to download the dapper .iso?
[05:05] <da_putzler> gavin: have tried Firestarter (didnt work) and need serious help with ip masquerading (unless u know a better way if possible)
[05:05] <schmakk> jrib, im on this box because my normal one died a horrible death and im kinda out of a burner
[05:05] <stefg> da_putzler: so your ubuntu-machine has 2 NICs in it?
[05:06] <gavinchappell> da_putzler: nope, if you're sharing a single connection from one NIC to another, masquerading is what you want
[05:06] <da_putzler> yes, 1 connected to cable modem, and another is the wireless card
[05:06] <kalosaurusrex> da_putzler: honestly you may save yourself time by just getting a switch/hub..
[05:06] <kalosaurusrex> I could be wrong though.
[05:06] <freshmint> hallo wie kann ich nen root login bei der standard ubuntu installation machen
[05:06] <edneymatias> does anynone know why my lang variable is setted to POSIX instead pt_BR.utf8?
[05:06] <freshmint> in der konsole funktioniert su - net
[05:06] <gavinchappell> kalosaurusrex: not a switch, but a router. A switch doesn't have the intelligence for dealing with multiple devices etc
[05:06] <da_putzler> I really really DO NOT wanna get a hub or router... if XP can share internet access then Ubuntu should be able to handle it too
[05:06] <jrib> schmakk: alright, here is the first link for upgrading to hoary.  You are going to go warty -> hoary -> breezy -> dapper.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HoaryUpgradeNotes , ubotu will send you the links for breezy and dapper
[05:06] <jrib> ubotu: tell schmakk about upgrade
[05:06] <freshmint> sry wrong channel
[05:07] <gavinchappell> da_putzler: I know how to do it using two wired NICs, but I've never set up an adhoc (computer to computer) network under Ubuntu :/
[05:07] <SonicChao_> Ok freshmint
[05:07] <SonicChao_> I was just going to call you on it
[05:07] <stefg> da_putzler: maybe this helps http://rob.pectol.com/content/view/3/1/
[05:07] <kalosaurusrex> da_putzler: how come?  from my experience internet sharing is a pain..  you may save yourself lots of time..plus if you get a router w/ dhcp you can, etc. it's way easier.
[05:07] <da_putzler> it's ok, I have the wireless card all setup and working... just need to share the net thru it... how do you do it ???
[05:07] <jrib> schmakk: the procedure will be basically the same for all three except you will change the name in the sources.list, you also have the option of using the gui for dapper
[05:08] <schmakk> jrib, if theres a guide on how to do each release, could you link me those? i'd be well on my way from there
[05:08] <jrib> schmakk: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HoaryUpgradeNotes http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades
[05:08] <kalosaurusrex> ahh I see.  that's cool
[05:08] <gavinchappell> da_putzler: there's two steps I think. Number one is to enable IP forwarding (edit /etc/sysctl.conf as root, and uncomment the line with "net/ipv4/ip_forward")
[05:09] <smev9> i cant find the right documentation, that tells me to give me the rights to write on my fat32. Any clues
[05:09] <smev9> ?
[05:09] <da_putzler> and after that ?
[05:09] <schmakk> jrib, thanks, ill be over here, downloading stuff =)
[05:09] <smev9> !mount
[05:09] <ubotu> Disks store lots of data. Partitioning: try gparted or qtparted  - Formatting: see the manpage for mkfs  - Mounting: system -> administration -> disks
[05:09] <jrib> ubotu: tell smev9 about vfat
[05:10] <edneymatias> !locale
[05:10] <ubotu> To set up and configure your locales, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LocaleConf
[05:10] <smev9> !vfat
[05:10] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[05:10] <Assassin5> what's special about the alternate version on 6.06?
[05:10] <gavinchappell> da_putzler: second step is to enable IPTables masquerading, bear with me and I'll find the right syntax, it's been a while
[05:10] <da_putzler> thanks Gavin, much appreciated
[05:10] <QRZ> da_putzler:  The url that stefg gave you provides a script that will do everything for you.  All you have to do is have a working network configuration.
[05:11] <Hexidigital_> i'm install Breezy on my server (to delete all of the crap i had on it)... i'm doing the server install, but i may need a GUI... can anyone suggest a lightweight GUI?
[05:11] <gavinchappell> da_putzler: I think previously I've used this: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -src <IP_ADDRESS>/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE (where "-src" is the IP range I've assigned to the private LAN, and "-o" is the name of the device connected to the Internet
[05:11] <gavinchappell> then if you set your wife's laptop's gateway to your Ubuntu box, I think that should work
[05:12] <nooseisloose> Hello,  I have managed to ruin my user's groups  Can someone, perhaps someone with a fresh Dapper Install please show me the output of 'groups' as their user?
[05:12] <da_putzler> gateway on wifeys laptop is always <IP_ADDRESS> (cause that's how XP is setup atm)
[05:12] <smev9> thanks jrib, i try that out
[05:12] <da_putzler> thx gavin... will give it a go...
[05:12] <gavinchappell> nooseisloose: adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev lpadmin scanner admin
[05:13] <gavinchappell> nooseisloose: plus one named after my user account as the primary group
[05:13] <nooseisloose> gavinchappell: thank you very much
[05:16] <lens> Does anyone know of any artificial intelligence software for Linux... something I could interact with?  or where to look?
[05:16] <johlin> should I user reiserFS instead of ext3 on my root and home partition?
[05:17] <neutrinomass> johlin: Not really ...
[05:18] <jhenn> can someone help me get my sound working?
[05:18] <neutrinomass> johlin: It's a matter of preference. Most of the times it makes no difference.
[05:18] <da_putzler> has the NTFS read/writing gotten to a safe stage yet ???
[05:18] <johlin> then I'
[05:18] <johlin> oops
[05:18] <kalosaurusrex> !ntfs
[05:18] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[05:18] <johlin> then I'll go with ext3 as I can read those from windows
[05:19] <gavinchappell> da_putzler: I believe there's a project called "Captive NTFS" which uses the ntfs driver from Windows and some Wine trickery in order to provide read/write access safely
[05:19] <elie_> how 2 do that: AMD64 users: It may also be necessary to update /etc/profile if using GDM. Update the $LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH variable to point to the dri path above.
[05:19] <p_masho> is there a "command line" administrator for ubuntu,... so I can create users over ssh ?
[05:19] <maquaro> Can someone tell me where the file is that contains "service_name = ntpdate"
[05:19] <elie_> any1?
[05:19] <skavenge> 'adduser'
[05:20] <gavinchappell> p_masho: you can use the "adduser" command
[05:20] <MarcN> p_masho: everything can be done via ssh
[05:20] <dg10050> What's the Linux equivalent of ctrl+alt+delete?
[05:20] <da_putzler> silly question... to use Wine, do you need an XP setup already on your system ??
[05:20] <dg10050> no
[05:20] <MarcN> dg10050: ctrl-alt-delete
[05:20] <p_masho> is there an equivelant of "yast" on suse ?
[05:20] <dg10050> ...
[05:20] <neutrinomass> dg10050: ctrl+alt+delete to restart your computer, ctrl+alt+backspace to restart your X server
[05:20] <gavinchappell> p_masho: synaptic will provide package management and software updates
[05:21] <kalosaurusrex> yast works okay on suse..what are you trying to do?
[05:21] <p_masho> gavinchappell: synaptic dont work over ssh
[05:21] <MarcN> p_masho: there are a bunch of individual tools for system admin functions
[05:21] <neutrinomass> kalosaurusrex: I think he was asking if there's an equivalent of SuiSE's yast ..
[05:21] <dg10050> Is there a way to open "System Monitor" with a keyboard shortcut?
[05:21] <gavinchappell> p_masho: aptitude
[05:21] <MarcN> p_masho: Use apt-get/apt-cache or aptitude for the command line.
[05:21] <gavinchappell> dg10050: automatix can make that happen, I don't know how
[05:22] <Hexidigital_> !automatix
[05:22] <ubotu> automatix is a script that automates installation of some items and has been reported to break your system while doing that, please see http://help.ubuntu.com and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserDocumentation instead.
[05:22] <Hexidigital_> may break some systems
[05:22] <skavenge> dg10050 ; yes, i'd google for it i've seen it many times before
[05:22] <dg10050> oh, nvm
[05:22] <MENDIGO> alguem me ajuda
[05:22] <p_masho> ok thanks folks
[05:22] <kalosaurusrex> oh
[05:22] <kalosaurusrex> ick
[05:22] <LoneShadow> if I have managed to corrupt gcc/g++ or libc, what is the best way to fix this problem ? I get some vague warnings and errors, something of the sort "g++ killed itself due to internal errors"
[05:22] <kalosaurusrex> yast is gross.
[05:23] <neutrinomass> LoneShadow: "sudo aptitude reinstall build-essential" ?
[05:23] <da_putzler> is the Ubuntu Firewall already enabled and working after an install ???
[05:23] <Inferus> da_putzler linux has a built-in firewall
[05:23] <gavinchappell> da_putzler: no, it is not enabled because Ubuntu doesn't include any listening services by default (IIRC)
[05:23] <gavinchappell> although it is provided, it's not configured
[05:23] <da_putzler> oh, so does that mean my ubuntu setup is unprotected ??
[05:24] <gavinchappell> yes, it does
[05:24] <LoneShadow> neutrinomass: will that reinstall all the libraries as well ?
[05:24] <da_putzler> damn... do I have to set it up manually in order to stop progs phoning home and ppl getting in ?
[05:24] <Ng> da_putzler: by default there is nothing running that can be access from outside anyway, so there is no need for a firewall
[05:24] <gavinchappell> da_putzler: you can use something like firestartr
[05:24] <gavinchappell> firestarter*
[05:24] <neutrinomass> LoneShadow: Well no, you'll have to reinstall those by hand.
[05:24] <fourat> openOffice wont detect my CUPS printer
[05:24] <Inferus> da_putzler, provided your password is not weak, you're ok
[05:24] <Inferus> :)
[05:25] <fourat> what's the problem ?
[05:25] <kalosaurusrex> firestarter rules
[05:25] <da_putzler> kewl, just checking...  after using XP, hackers and spyware scares the hell outta me
[05:25] <gavinchappell> fourat: have you actually configured it so you can print from other apps? :)
[05:25] <kalosaurusrex> fourat, what type of printer?
[05:25] <kalosaurusrex> brand/model?
[05:25] <Chetic> how do you find out the version of something you CAN apt-get without apt-getting it?
[05:25] <gavinchappell> Chetic: aptitude show packagename
[05:25] <gavinchappell> (or apt-cache show packagename IIRC)
[05:26] <_absolution_> is fluxspace any good??
[05:26] <Inferus> da_putzler, not really that common, unless you had a direct connection to the internet, and were full of viruses
[05:26] <gavinchappell> that will give you the version of the Ubuntu package, which usually contains the release number of the program in it
[05:26] <kalosaurusrex> ahhh that's how you do it with apt-cache..
[05:26] <Chetic> wow ok thanks gavinchappell
[05:26] <fourat> gavinchappell, i've installed the printer in CUPS (http interface) and successfully printed a test page, what should i do to get it on other apps
[05:26] <_absolution_> and can I get it using "apt-get"?
[05:26] <Inferus> apt-get install _absolution_ :)
[05:26] <kalosaurusrex> fourat: brand/model of printer.
[05:26] <fourat> kalosaurusrex, Lexamark E232 laserjet on usb

[05:26] <da_putzler> inferus: sint my cable modem a direct connection to the internet ?
[05:26] <gavinchappell> fourat: I didn't have to do anything, all the printers that show up in my gnome CUPS admin thing are also available in OO.o, sorry
[05:27] <Inferus> yes
[05:27] <da_putzler> so that's bad ?
[05:27] <Inferus> if its plugged straight into your pc, it's quite insecure
[05:27] <Chetic> Can I install sarge packages in Ubuntu?
[05:27] <kalosaurusrex> fourat: ahh. you can check the cups error_log and see if open office is getting to the spooler.. can you print from like gedit or something?
[05:27] <_absolution_> that didn't work
[05:27] <_absolution_> couldn't find the package
[05:27] <da_putzler> it's connected into my lan card, yes...
[05:27] <maquaro> maquaro: hello
[05:27] <Inferus> yea
[05:27] <kalosaurusrex> sudo tail -f /var/log/cups/error_log
[05:27] <Inferus> thats quite an insecure set up
[05:27] <da_putzler> so what do I do to protect it from hackers /
[05:27] <da_putzler> run firestarter ?
[05:28] <Inferus> preferably get a hardware firewall
[05:28] <Hexidigital_> or disconnect it from the 'net
[05:28] <Inferus> with NAT/port filtering
[05:28] <Inferus> yeah ^ lol
[05:28] <Hexidigital_> :)
[05:28] <Inferus> heh heh
[05:28] <gavinchappell> "iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT; iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -m state --state NEW -j DROP" ;)
[05:28] <da_putzler> so just by running firestarter it'll be protected ok ? no need to setup anything else
[05:28] <Inferus> erm
[05:28] <Inferus> never seen firestarter in my life
[05:28] <kalosaurusrex> firestarter does a good job.
[05:28] <maquaro> fourat: for open office to see the printer, you have to load / import the appropriate .PPD file in the OOo print manager utility and set the correct lpr command.
[05:29] <kalosaurusrex> it's pretty awesome.
[05:29] <Inferus> but, a poorly configured windows box is safer than a poorly configured linux box :)
[05:29] <Inferus> least it has a firewall set up by default >_<
[05:29] <gavinchappell> it's pretty awesome, until you want to remove it, I couldn't get it off my Breezy installation :)
[05:29] <da_putzler> damn... your kinda turning me off using Ubuntu... am scared incase I leave a hole for hackers
[05:29] <Inferus> lol
[05:29] <limpkin> hello everyone
[05:29] <Inferus> what do you have to hide anyway? ;)
[05:30] <da_putzler> nothing really... just dont want ppl getting access to my pc and files it contains
[05:30] <kalosaurusrex> da: he means that ubuntu is far far safer than a fully configured windows xp box running firewall, spyware apps, etc.
[05:30] <kalosaurusrex> as IS.
[05:30] <Ng> da_putzler: as I said, by default there is nothing that's remotely accessible, so unless you have installed some server programs, a firewall is unnecessary, but you can put one on if it makes you feel safer
[05:30] <Inferus> you have more chance of losing whats on your computer to a virus than to a hacker
[05:30] <kalosaurusrex> Ng: *nod*
[05:30] <Inferus> so using linux is good, as there are very few viruses for it :)
[05:31] <da_putzler> is their a good virus program for Linux ???
[05:31] <Kibou> ..
[05:31] <kalosaurusrex> clamav is good.
[05:31] <kalosaurusrex> but really you don't have to worry about it.
[05:31] <gavinchappell> clamav is a good on demand scanner I think, but there isn't anything which monitors your system constantly like they do on Windows
[05:31] <gavinchappell> (not to my knowledge, anyway)
[05:32] <Chetic> I want to be able to compile the source to all sorts of apps and things... Do I just apt-get gcc or what? (besides the dependencies the configure script complains about)
[05:32] <Inferus> yer
[05:32] <da_putzler> kewl....
[05:32] <Inferus> because of the way sudo/root works
[05:32] <gavinchappell> Chetic: build-essential is the package you want
[05:32] <da_putzler> well, thanks peeps... help was much appreciated :D
[05:32] <Ng> Chetic: install the build-essential package and that pulls in most of the things you need to compile stuff
[05:32] <Inferus> it is very hard for things to install themselves da_putzler
[05:32] <kalosaurusrex> either way you'd have to try very hard to get a virus.
[05:32] <Inferus> they need a password
[05:32] <Chetic> oh! thank you gavinchappell and Ng!
[05:33] <limpkin> i just wanted to know how to find hozizsync and vertrefresh :(
[05:33] <someothernick> anyone know a good xbox .iso extractor?
[05:33] <limpkin> becuz i can't have a 60hz refresh
[05:33] <gavinchappell> limpkin: they'll be in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file I think, I dunno if there's an automatic way of configuring it as I use a TFT so I use 60hz
[05:34] <limpkin> yep, but i can't find what to put in horizsync to have 60hz instead of 75
[05:34] <xophEr> limpkin, they should be in the specs of your monitor
[05:34] <Ng> limpkin: you need to know the details for your monitor. if you don't have the manual google may be able to find it for you :)
[05:34] <limpkin> ok, i have to try :)
[05:35] <kalosaurusrex> grr anyone know where the checkinstall deps are?
[05:35] <LBM> Hello!
[05:35] <Ng> kalosaurusrex: as in the packages it depends on?
[05:36] <Ng> kalosaurusrex: if so, universe and main
[05:36] <Hobbsee> kalosaurusrex: deps or debs?
[05:36] <kalosaurusrex> thought so too but it's not finding it..
[05:36] <kalosaurusrex> debs sorry
[05:36] <limpkin> does someone have a great website to find this kind of info?
[05:36] <limpkin> becuz my screen is not really spread
[05:36] <Ng> kalosaurusrex: in universe
[05:36] <Ng> !repos > kalosaurusrex
[05:36] <kalosaurusrex> kk
[05:37] <Hexidigital_> on a server install, are there any prereqs for blackbox? (and do they install automagically?)
[05:38] <gavinchappell> Hexidigital_: it should install everything automatically through apt, I believe
[05:38] <snoops> you'll find out when you apt-get it I guess Hexidigital_
[05:38] <Hexidigital_> snoops:: thanks for the concise info
[05:38] <kalosaurusrex> rofl
[05:39] <snoops> ;)
[05:39] <Hexidigital_> gavinchappell:: you were correct...
[05:39] <Hexidigital_> i guess snoops was too :)
[05:39] <J-_> should my swap partition be full? haha
[05:39] <snoops> how big is your swap?
[05:39] <Ng> J-_: if you've used all your swap, yes
[05:40] <Ro1> when i use firefox or any browser it is so slow to lookup a website...such as google.com...but if i just put in <IP_ADDRESS> it is very quick..how can i fix this?
[05:40] <J-_> 729mb
[05:40] <kalosaurusrex> Ro: it's kinda a process.
[05:40] <Ng> !ipv6 > Ro1
[05:40] <Ro1> ok thanks
[05:40] <jmoncayo> hey is there any program for linux like motorola middlets manager so i can install java programs, games, etc to my cell phone?
[05:40] <kbrooks> ng:
[05:41] <stefg> Ro1: might it be that your ISP's DNS-server is overloaded? Maybe try to use a different one
[05:41] <kbrooks> ng: /msg ubotu tell user about thing
[05:41] <kbrosnan> Ro1, type about:config in the address bar in hte filter type ipv6 double click to set to false
[05:41] <Ng> kbrooks: so the new shorter syntax was introduced so I can't use it to help people quicker? ;)
[05:42] <kbrooks> um
[05:42] <J-_> is the swap partition suppose to be full, what's teh purpose of the partition?
[05:42] <kbrooks> !ubotu > me
[05:42] <kbrooks> ng: nice, i guess
[05:42] <cntb> hi , second day with ubuntu
[05:42] <Hexidigital_> when i try to start blackbox, i get "failed to open display"... any ideas?
[05:43] <snoops> to be used if all ram is in use J-_
[05:43] <cntb> surprised to know there is no root  user inn my install
[05:43] <Hexidigital_> !root
[05:43] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[05:43] <gavinchappell> there is a root user, but using it is discouraged in Ubuntu
[05:43] <snoops> there is where you learn about sudo cntb :)
[05:43] <J-_> if i can, should i make a bigger partition?
[05:43] <Ro1> on wiki for ubuntu...it says to "comment out this line xxxxxxx" does that mean delete xxxxxx from the file i'm working with?
[05:43] <cntb> Isudoed several times
[05:44] <cntb> sudoed for 2 months lately on FC5
[05:44] <gavinchappell> no Ro1, just comment it, normally this is done by putting a # in front of the line
[05:44] <jmoncayo> anyone here can help me or have done it manually?
[05:44] <Ro1> ok
[05:44] <gavinchappell> that way, if you need to undo it, it's easier :)
[05:44] <snoops> J-_ I believe rule of thumb is twice the size of you ram.. but after like a gig swap people tend not to worry
[05:44] <cntb> snoops: ru on the project for a long time?
[05:45] <snoops> <- just a user
[05:45] <cntb> ah
[05:45] <cntb> so su- does not work tyo my surprise
[05:45] <gavinchappell> i don't see the point in increasing swap with RAM really, it just doesn't make sense
[05:45] <lens> I keep getting this error in wine: run-detectors: unable to find an interpreter for ./protegee.exe
[05:45] <J-_> meh i don't know, all i know is my system is slow as hell :S might have to restart
[05:45] <Assassin5> whats the default password after ubuntu server has installed. It didn't ask during the install process?????
[05:45] <lens> does anyone know what's wrong?
[05:46] <gavinchappell> I already have 1.25Gb RAM, I should need less swap, not more :)
[05:46] <Hexidigital_> heh.. i just learned something... never "sudo apt-cache search x"
[05:46] <cntb> so i have fro example a mount to an ntfs partition but no permissions
[05:46] <Ng> gavinchappell: the kernel is tuned to assume twice as much swap as RAM, but once you get into gigs of ram it's less important. some swap at least is still very useful to have though
[05:46] <snoops> I'm yet to use any swap with 2gig of ram gavinchappell
[05:46] <stefg> this rule of thumb became obsolete  a while ago... the only reason to have more than, say 256MB swap for transient loads is that you run a tmpfs on /tmp and need lots of space there
[05:46] <Ng> Hexidigital_: you don't need to use sudo with apt-cache
[05:46] <gavinchappell> yeah, I have a swap partition, but it's only just above the size of my RAM (1.3Gb I think)
[05:46] <J-_> i only have 216mb of ram
[05:46] <gavinchappell> although this is a laptop, isn't swap used for hibernation too? or am I confused?
[05:46] <Ng> gavinchappell: yes
[05:47] <Ng> so you'd need at least as much swap as ram if you want to hibernate
[05:47] <cntb> terminal of updater is in very small font
[05:47] <salah> where is the cdrom device located?
[05:47] <ardchoille> I always use 1Gb of ram no matter how much ram I have.. I have a 200Gb hd and I never use more than 50% of it, so I can get away with 1Gb ram.
[05:47] <Ng> salah: usually /dev/cdrom
[05:47] <ardchoille> oops, I meant 1Gb swap
[05:47] <cntb> also after install changed all font from 10 -> 12
[05:47] <cntb> sorry bad defaults
[05:47] <gavinchappell> yeah, I thought so, that's partly why I planned it like that (had 256mb RAM at the time so made a massive swap partition to help with the small RAM problem, and also large enough to accomodate an upgrade)
[05:47] <snoops> cntb "sudo - super user do".. then you're prompted to enter the password.. and ubuntu will remember it for 15 mins in that window.. if you want to just have one terminal in root, you can sudo -i then enter password to basically login as root for that terminal
[05:47] <stefg> Oh, yes hibernation... forgot that in my desktop-centric thinking
[05:48] <Assassin5> anyone know the default root password on the server version of 6.06?
[05:48] <Reimu> How do you edit grub? For some reason I have ubuntu on grub 4 times, ubuntu kernel , ubuntu kernel rcovery, ubuntu kernel, ubuntu kernel recovery, memtest and windows. What do I do to get rid of the second set of ubuntu's?
[05:48] <gavinchappell> hehe stefg, I haven't done my work desktop yet. Too much stuff on NTFS partitions at the moment, and nowhere to back it up to
[05:48] <p_masho> I've added a "network" share to the places in nautilus.. however this does not appear int eh Fileopen dialog etc.. what me doing wrong ?
[05:48] <gavinchappell> laptop was quite easy though, everything just works! :)
[05:48] <p_masho> its a windows share
[05:48] <Ng> Reimu: you can either edit /boot/grub/menu.lst (be careful!) or remove the older kernel packages
[05:49] <cntb> ok sudo is for 15 min interesting solution to dilemma M$ always had
[05:49] <salah> Ng, ok, how do I ls it?
[05:49] <Reimu> Ng: they are both the exact same kernel #, I checked
[05:49] <Ng> salah: to show the contents of the cdrom? if it's mounted it'd probably be "ls /media/cdrom"
[05:49] <cntb> all windows XP around ythe world are too open to let ppl install what they need hating to deal with passwords
[05:49] <salah> Ng, thanks
[05:49] <snoops> cntb just wait for vista.. you'll be in a sandbox having to enter your password all the time then too
[05:50] <dg10050> :D
[05:50] <gavinchappell> I didn't have to enter a password at all in Vista
[05:50] <cntb> linux stays convinced for a good reason password must exist and permissions restricted on every system
[05:50] <gavinchappell> but there's so many confirmation dialogs I often forgot what I was doing in the first palce...
[05:50] <snoops> what do you reckon of beta 2 dg10050?
[05:50] <dg10050> It's pretty nice
[05:50] <dg10050> My comp runs the x64 version well
[05:51] <lens> what do I need to set to open win/dos exe files in wine?
[05:51] <kalosaurusrex> lens: sudo apt-get install wine
[05:52] <cntb> dg10050:  you have full featured vista ?
[05:52] <lens> kalosaurusrex: I did that, and put the exe file in drive: c and it still wont work and it's asking me what to open it with?
[05:52] <dg10050> yes
[05:52] <p_masho> anyone ?
[05:52] <dg10050> Ultimate vesion
[05:52] <kalosaurusrex> what about just wine <path to filename>
[05:52] <Ng> guys, talk about vista is off-topic, please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:52] <dg10050> Or just double click the.exe
[05:52] <snoops> dg10050 I think he assumes you mean the 'final' release version.. not the beta 2 ultimate edition
[05:52] <ardchoille> how about taking the wine stuff to #wine?
[05:52] <dg10050> oh
[05:52] <nox-Hand> What is the Ubuntu equivilant of rc.conf? I need to find out some of my net settings..
[05:53] <lens> kalosaurusrex, ok, I don't think I tried that... dj10050, that didn't work.
[05:53] <dg10050> I have beta 2
[05:53] <net> i need help!
[05:53] <Ng> ardchoille: wine is part of ubuntu and he's asking a specific question about integrating the two. that is on-topic afaics
[05:53] <dg10050> lens: oh
[05:53] <kalosaurusrex> !help
[05:53] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage
[05:53] <rpedro> lens: run winecfg , and configure the drives so wine can locate the exe file
[05:53] <birke> Hi Folks,
[05:53] <ardchoille> Ng: does it ship with ubuntu? Also, the best place to get answers about wine is #wine isn't it?
[05:53] <Ng> net: describe the problem and we'll see what we can do :)
[05:54] <enursha> wher is the modprobe.conf file located, i cant find one anywhere.
[05:54] <birke> I can't do charts in gnumeric anymore ... anyone knows about this problem?
[05:54] <ardchoille> just a thought
[05:54] <Ng> ardchoille: it's in universe
[05:54] <kalosaurusrex> oh yeah winecfg. forgot about that.
[05:54] <gavinchappell> ardchoille: it doesn't ship, but it's in the repositories
[05:54] <nox-Hand> !rc.conf
[05:54] <ubotu> I know nothing about rc.conf
[05:54] <lens> rpedro, cool thanks!

[05:54] <ardchoille> ok, I"ll just put wine users on my iggy list :)
[05:54] <Ng> enursha: most likely it's /etc/modprobe.d/ now
[05:54] <kalosaurusrex> has anyone used checkinstall to install hplip?
[05:55] <stefg> nox-Hand: do you have a special reason to not use the gui-tool? (BTW /etc/network/interfaces might be interesting for you)
[05:55] <Ng> kalosaurusrex: hplip is available in the repositories
[05:55] <kalosaurusrex> ard: any reason we can't try and help someone with a wine problem?>
[05:55] <rpedro> ardchoille: #winehq

[05:55] <Reimu> is it possible to install konqueror on ubuntu or xubuntu?

[05:55] <ardchoille> rpedro: oh, yes, thank you. I stand corrected :)
[05:56] <enursha> Ng, nope, just checked, i'm having to add ndiswraper evreytime i boot.
[05:56] <nox-Hand> stefg, I just wish to view my settings in an easy manner, as I am setting up Arch Linux for on another drive, and I need to know my net-settings..
[05:56] <gavinchappell> Reimu: yes, try aptitude install konqueror
[05:56] <kalosaurusrex> I need to test checkinstall with the latest. trying to make a stabled deb package.
[05:56] <kalosaurusrex> stable
[05:56] <snoops> yes Reimu.. be aware all the kde libs required for konqueror to run will also be installed
[05:56] <Ng> enursha: if you want to force specific kernel modules to load you can list them in /etc/modules
[05:56] <net> Ng: ...now Mozilla...
[05:56] <Reimu> gavinchappell: Does it require a million dependancies?
[05:56] <stefg> nox-Hand: so a simple ifconfig will tell you
[05:56] <nox-Hand> =)
[05:56] <Ng> net: hmm. perhaps check the mozilla config and pick a different font?
[05:56] <gavinchappell> Reimu: I have no idea, it'll tell you what deps it needs before you confirm the installation
[05:57] <net> Ng: on menu no text too...
[05:57] <Reimu> snoops: will doing so slow down your comp? or just take up space?
[05:57] <jos> takes up space
[05:57] <enursha> cool, cheers
[05:57] <snoops> I haven't noticed any reduction in speed..more space taken up of course
[05:57] <enursha> Ng, cool, cheers
[05:57] <Ng> net: erk. perhaps try creating a new mozilla profile? (possibly -P)
[05:57] <net> Ng: just some stripes and some icons...

[05:59] <jbaloul> hello, is there anyway I can install LAMP after I have a base server installed already?
[05:59] <stefg> !lamp
[05:59] <ubotu> lamp is a shortcut for Linux-Apache-Mysql-{PHP,Perl,Python}. To setup a LAMP server on Ubuntu, install the packages libapache2-mod-php5, php5-mysql, and mysql-server-5.0. You can also choose 'install a LAMP server' from the server install cd boot menu. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
