[12:01] <bruenig> FFighter, I don't know, why don't you see
[12:01] <dojo> okay i typed aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf but know i get the error
[12:01] <dojo> Using /etc/X11/xorg.conf Saved back-up to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.original-1 aticonfig: Writing to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' failed. Bad file descriptor.
[12:01] <bruenig> what is the name of the package?
[12:01] <LjL> AMDfanboy:  for File in *.rar ; do unrar x "$File" YourDirectory/ ; done
[12:01] <FFighter> bruening, ok, will do that
[12:01] <AMDfanboy> ajax4: no, no such folder in teh archives
[12:01] <mr_daniel> mariocesar_bo: take my settings as a template and set your /var into a right state
[12:01] <fxfitz> If I SSH to another computer, is it possible to start up a program on the display of a logged in user??
[12:01] <ajax4> LjL: Hmm, try the script LjL suggested.
[12:02] <LjL> AMDfanboy: actually, i meant  for File in *.rar ; do mkdir $(basename $File .rar); unrar x "$File" $(basename $File .rar) ; done
[12:02] <lauriexxx> can anyone tell me how to move a complete home directory to a media storage device via comand line please?
[12:02] <AMDfanboy> i cant get unrar x to work because it extracts everything to the dierectory i'm runing the script from, the active directory, not the directory i moved the rar to
[12:02] <AMDfanboy> thast basically what i had
[12:02] <bruenig> there is such a thing called basename?
[12:02] <mr_daniel> fxfitz: you mean you want to open a GUI-program for ANOTHER user?
[12:02] <AMDfanboy> yeah drops the extenion you give it
[12:02] <LjL> lauriexxx:  cp -a /home/username/* /media/drivename/ , weren't you given this already?
[12:02] <AMDfanboy> basename
[12:02] <mariocesar_bo> mr_daniel: how, can i do it?, i am a noob con console
[12:03] <Central> I bet you people get people like me all the time, but here it goes. I've been on XP and OSX for so long, But always been intrested in Linux.. Videos of Ubunto Beryl caught my eye, and I'm wondering if I can run it on my machine... Is there anyone that would be able to tell me how? I mean I'd like to dual boot or something.
[12:03] <Corvinis-V> how can i set a bootcommand line option permanently ?
[12:03] <Corvinis-V> grub forgets my command each time
[12:03] <lauriexxx> LjL: yes but did not work
[12:03] <LjL> AMDfanboy: if you look, that unrar command has a basename at the end. that specifies which directory to extract to
[12:03] <LjL> !doesn't work | lauriexxx
[12:03] <ubotu> lauriexxx: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.
[12:03] <mr_daniel> fxfitz: i don't know, but with 'ssh -X <username>@<host>' you can activate X-forwarding.  I wanna do it to the OTHER monitor.
[12:04] <xenex86661> so i can just click it and it will run the command without terminal
[12:04] <Jowi> Central, dualboot on a x86 machine, a PPC or on a intel mac?
[12:04] <LjL> xenex86661: type  help alias
[12:04] <W8TAH> anyone know if the debs for xchat from their site are any good?
[12:04] <LjL> xenex86661: to make aliases stay, add them to your ~/.bashrc
[12:04] <ajax4> xenex86661: Just right click on the desktop then use the "Create Launcher" option
[12:05] <Central> Jowi, Normal PC
[12:05] <phretor> I've enabled File Sharing (SMB) and create a new SMB share (not read-only). Unfortunately I can't connect to the share if both I use empty and non-empty login. Ideas?
[12:05] <xenex86661> ajax4, thanks lol
[12:05] <ajax4> xenex86661: np :)
[12:05] <mr_daniel> fxfitz: maybe the guys on #xorg can help you to solve the problem
[12:06] <Jowi> Central, that is no problem. pop in the ubuntu install CD and you can partition the disk before installation. the installation should automatically detect your windows OS and let you chose it at boot time.
[12:06] <fxfitz> mr_daniel, Thank you!
[12:06] <mr_daniel> fxfitz: you could also try to ask in #openssh
[12:06] <Thorn> Hey people, yet another problem.
[12:06] <mr_daniel> fxfitz: np
[12:07] <kenmitre> hey how come myspace don't support linux
[12:07] <runatrain> lol
[12:07] <Thorn> On a AB9 mobo, sata2 drives. No linux will install. They hang out for a long time detecting the usb driver then after that Fail to load the ata_piix driver.
[12:07] <runatrain> myspace is the devil!!
[12:08] <kenmitre> i know
[12:08] <Thorn> usbhid is the usb driver
[12:08] <Thorn> Anyone know how to fix this problem?
[12:08] <AMDfanboy> thanks, guys, jowi, you were right!

[12:10] <jshriver> Can anyone help me?
[12:10] <poningru> user___: no you can use nfs or ssh
[12:11] <kenmitre> seaveas
[12:11] <kenmitre> is wierd
[12:11] <xenex86661> does anyone know how to make oidentd work? i have it installed but its not working
 I know it is a simple question but I am a NewB. :(
[12:11] <SillyZ> ok I have a graphical interface now, just downloaded the ati drivers from ati, installed, and aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf     now onto 3d accelleration
[12:11] <TheSystem> hellas
 I have to turn off firestarter first right?
[12:11] <poningru> uh... no
[12:12] <mc44> Seveas: arf :)
[12:12] <poningru> !ssh | user___
[12:12] <ubotu> user___: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[12:12] <Corvinis-V> is it a problem if the noapic command remains in my bootoptions ?
[12:12] <kitche> Corvinis-V: no some systems need it to work
[12:12] <poningru> user___: in firestarter just allow port 22
[12:12] <madsporkmurderer> I am trying to put my home directory on a different partition, except if I include the option uid=1000 I get an error that it is an unrecognised mount option, but without it I get a bunch of errors because I cant write to my home directory
[12:12] <Corvinis-V> so no it's not a problem it's possibly a nessecity ?
[12:13] <Corvinis-V> kitche?
[12:13] <kitche> Corvinis-V: could be
[12:13] <Corvinis-V> ok :) thanks
 I could use the connect to server which is built in to ubuntu no?
[12:14] <Corvinis-V> kitche > my system seems to be one of those :P
[12:14] <runatrain> dc
[12:14] <TheSystem> i searched in the german board of ubuntu, but i can't finde the same prolem so i'll ask here :). I want to install ubunto on my extern hdd, with the livecd version, but the grub owned me mbr
[12:14] <chamunks> whats the command to list groups and members of groups?
[12:15] <lightrush> hi ppl
[12:15] <user_> ponigru; wtf are u talking about :d i havent asked anything about ssh or so -.-
[12:15] <TheSystem> is there a posibillty to install ubunto on a extern hdd without owning the mbr of my hdd (intern)
[12:15] <poningru> user___: ok so here's how it works, one system has to act like the ssh server which you have to install, and the other computers can connect to it using the built in ssh client
[12:15] <poningru> and then they can exchange files
[12:15] <ico2> hi, anyone know of an apt repository with a more up-to-date kernel than the standard one? i need a version where kvm works properly
[12:15] <poningru> user___: smb and nfs are bad protocols that are very insecure
[12:16] <poningru> ico2: HA...
[12:16] <chamunks> i want to add access rights to more than one person to my /var/www/  the same as my own what would i do?
[12:16] <poningru> you should test out the newer gutsy kernel
[12:16] <Rage> Is there a way of upgrading ubuntu 6 to ubuntu 7 without a cd drive?
[12:16] <poningru> !upgrade | Rage
[12:16] <ubotu> Rage: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[12:16] <Rage> Thanks.
[12:16] <PriceChild> poningru, really not good advice...
[12:17] <ico2> poningru, thanks
[12:17] <lightrush> I have installed my system over a raid and formatted it with ReiserFS because of performance reasons - now every time I startup the splashscreen drops me into framebuffer and shows me messages of checking filesystems - is that normal ? Does it have to do it everytime?
[12:17] <PriceChild> (about the gutsy kernel)
[12:17] <poningru> PriceChild: what? he asked for newer kernel than 2.6.20
 OK Makes sense.  What is the sudo command to get the ssh server loaded?
[12:17] <nair> hi
[12:17] <poningru> !ssh | user___ its a bit more involved than that follow this wiki page
[12:17] <ubotu> user___ its a bit more involved than that follow this wiki page: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[12:17] <PriceChild> poningru, yeah but suggesting he use gutsy's in feisty isn't clever at all...
[12:17] <wapityyy> !help PriceChild
[12:17] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about help pricechild - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:17] <PriceChild> wapityyy, ?
[12:18] <wapityyy> <3
[12:18] <mc44> PriceChild: whats the worst that could happen! :P
[12:18] <chamunks> i want to add access rights to more than one person to my /var/www/  the same as my own what would i do?
[12:18] <nair> does any one knows how to make work a promiso tx233 in raid mode?
[12:18] <PriceChild> mc44, fire?
[12:18] <poningru> PriceChild: I assumed he would upgrade to gutsy in the process
[12:18] <PriceChild> Chad_, add them to the www-data group
[12:18] <mc44> PriceChild: ooh, good point. stop playing with those matches
[12:18] <wapityyy> poningru: you mean goatse?
[12:18] <poningru> rofl
[12:18] <PriceChild> poningru, and that's not good either... gutsy is broken and in development.
[12:18] <ico2> PriceChild, meh, if my ubuntu system dies, i have a backup of my apt cache, a reinstall will take about an hour, lol
[12:18] <PriceChild> !aptoncd | ico2
[12:18] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about aptoncd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:18] <poningru> uh... tribe1 is coming out soon
[12:18] <PriceChild> !info aptoncd | ico2
[12:18] <ubotu> ico2: aptoncd: CD-based repository creator for packages downloaded via APT. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1-0ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 169 kB, installed size 1144 kB
[12:19] <g8tr> Has anyone ever had a problem with a window maximizing to an all black screen, I then have to play with the screen size in order to get it to show up, its happened to me in all kinds of windows/programs
[12:19] <lightrush> !reiserfs
[12:19] <ubotu> reiserfs is a journalling file system, in benchmarks it outperforms many others on I/O operations, but they take notoriously long to mount.
[12:19] <Corvinis-V> Is the ubuntu update engine dependable? It shouldn't hurt to install every possible update right ?
[12:19] <PriceChild> g8tr, using beryl or desktop effects?
[12:19] <g8tr> yes
[12:20] <poningru> Corvinis-V: uh... please update everything
[12:20] <PurpZeY> Corvinis-V: The most recent kernel has caused some people a few problems, but it's not anything unfixable. or you could just update and select the old one in grub
[12:20] <PriceChild> Corvinis-V, it doesn't use half a new version and half an old version. It will load the old to memory and use it to apply all updates. It will then use the new version net time its called
[12:20] <poningru> especially the security
[12:20] <PriceChild> Corvinis-V, so just update everything and don't worry :)
[12:20] <fxfitz> I have XDMCP enabled on another computer. Is it possible to log in to that computer WITHOUT logging off of this computer and connecting??
[12:21] <Corvinis-V> ok lol.... I ditched windows for my server so you might understand why i'm weary with autoupdating :P
[12:21] <poningru> fxfitz: switch user
[12:21] <poningru> not log off
[12:21] <fxfitz> poningru, I don't want to get off at all though. I would like it in a small window.
[12:21] <Jowi> g8tr, what type of apps? you can try to check the undirect option in the beryl settings first screen (don't remember the exact name since I'm trying out ion3 atm)
[12:21] <poningru> fxfitz: hmm no clue
[12:21] <vladuz976> i am trying to plot postscript eps with gnuplot i get an error "loadpath empty" anybody know how to set that?
[12:22] <Jowi> g8tr, but I know there are probs with gksudo for example
[12:22] <g8tr> firefox, the file browser, wine'd apps
[12:22] <ajax4> Hey guys...just added some hard drives. What's the best graphical tool for creating mount points and applying the changes to fstab?
[12:22] <g8tr> I was using Desktop effects, I just disabled it, see if it happens again
[12:23] <mapez> Does anyone here have a Nokia 6275i working with Ubuntu?
[12:23] <vladuz976> here is the error, can someone look at it? http://rafb.net/p/22R9wc12.html
[12:23] <Jowi> g8tr, wine'd apps yes it happens all the time (so I run them windowed) but firefox should not do that.... :/
[12:24] <nuked_omen> desktop effects are still beta anyway
[12:24] <PriceChild> g8tr, will be a driver bug then
[12:25] <g8tr> PriceChild: you think it may be a driver issue?
[12:25] <PriceChild> g8tr, yes
[12:25] <ag1999> I have a Compaq Presario and I can't get Ubuntu to load. It gets stuck about halfway through loading the CD
[12:25] <kal> hi
[12:26] <ag1999> any different boot options I can try?
[12:26] <TOoSmOotH> Anyone here use Beryl with Nvidia?
[12:26] <PurpZeY> TOoSmOotH: I do.
[12:26] <j1tters> hey all. anyone using gnomad with a creative zen. Or does anyone know a channel for questions for that? other than #frugalware?
[12:26] <TOoSmOotH> You ever had it make the titles over your windows dissapear where you can no longer love them etc?
[12:26] <j1tters> mucho appreciated. if so. thanks
[12:27] <PurpZeY> TOoSmOotH: what?
[12:27] <kal> I've compiled my own 2.6.21 with make-kpg, but i have a problem with nvidia-glx. I can't load the module : FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia
[12:27] <liquiddoom> He meant move.
[12:27] <Corvinis-V> PriceChild > Should I reboot after the updates ?
[12:27] <theBishop> hi, is there any fix for the "newworld" error during the PS3 install?
[12:27] <W8TAH> how stable/active in development is XMMS for ubuntu? or is there a better option at this point?
[12:27] <TOoSmOotH> PurpZeY, The titale bar on a window.. like what the themes edit
[12:27] <kal> i heard that i had to install the linux-restricted-modules package, but how can i compile that for a 2.6.21 ?
[12:27] <PriceChild> Corvinis-V, shouldn't need to unless its drivers or services
[12:27] <kelsey> #ahs
[12:27] <PurpZeY> TOoSmOotH: No, don't think so...Seems like that might be related to emerald though. can't say, I don't really know much about beryl.
[12:27] <Corvinis-V> oh just got a msg "system restart required" lol
[12:28] <TOoSmOotH> k
[12:28] <j1tters> kelsy was that to me?
[12:28] <stefg> kal, that doesn' work. you need to apt-get install nvidia-source and module assistant to build a proper module for your kernel
[12:28] <kal> stefg: ok, thank you for your answer
[12:29] <gu1> when I move a complied shared library a.so to another linux box, and try to use it, I get an error, and ldd throws "not a dynamic executable" for that file... how can I make it that second box to recognize my file as a shared library?
[12:29] <kal> stefg: by the way, what does contain linux-restricted-modules ?
[12:29] <KDan> hey... how do i set the global email that all the random stuff (e.g. output from cron) gets sent to?
[12:30] <stefg> kal that's the proprietary kernel-modules. but you run your own kernel, you have left that path and are on your own now.
[12:30] <kal> stefg: all right, thank you :)
[12:30] <xenex86661> what is a good download manager for ubuntu?
[12:30] <kal> stefg: so i don't need anymore nvidia-glx ?
[12:30] <user_> can anybody tell me something about how good mac mini hardware is? (software is not so intresting cuz there is alot of oss out htere ;)
[12:30] <kal> xenex86661: axel
[12:30] <Terminus> gu1: try running 'sudo ldconfig'
[12:31] <gu1> Terminus: thanks.. I had done that already.
[12:31] <SDO> MacMini, Parallels, Ubuntu 6.10 installed on VM and working.  Have 1200x900 resolution but want to change to 800x600 (for testing purposes).  Went to desktop resolution, and it changes back to the the 1200x900 within 5 seconds of selecting the lower resolution.  Any thoughts on how to work aroudn this, maybe editing the x server config file?  Details, URLs, any help is appreciated.
[12:31] <stefg> kal: nvidia-glx is the blob, which you need (the actual driver) nvidia.ko is just sort of an adapter to fit nvidia-glx to the kernel
[12:31] <gu1> it still says  "not a dynamic executable"
[12:31] <KDan> how do i set the global email that all the random stuff (e.g. output from cron) gets sent to?
[12:32] <SDO> user_: I have 2 mac minis, and loke them both very mcuh ,one is intel dual core 2 gig ram, and toher is PPC, the dual core is my fav.
[12:32] <kal> stefg: ok. Is there a guide/wiki that explain the compilation of nvidia kernel module ?
[12:32] <WindowLess> how do i install Battle for Wesnoth Version 1.2.4 (feisty comes with 1.2.3 but it has a lot of bugs). I'm taking a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=459389&highlight=wesnoth+1.2.4 but i'm not sure how to install. please help a NEWBIE
[12:32] <Eric> my computer won't boot a DVD. the drive is a DVD-ROM drive and it will boot CDs without any problems. The DVD works, I've tested it on a different computer and ran a checksum on it. Any ideas?
[12:32] <Terminus> gu1: permissions i guess? what does 'file a.out' and 'ls -l a.out' say? a dll also has to be executable.
[12:33] <Eoghanalbar> hey, funny stuff with a wireless mouse connected to a laptop being jerky, but the touchpad acting smooth as usual.
[12:34] <Terminus> gu1: i mean a.so. =D
[12:34] <user_> SDO: 1) check macminihacks website for ur question, 2) have u let osx there, or put linux on it?:) (or somthing like that)
[12:34] <gu1> I'll try permissions...
[12:34] <LinuxChick> Hi there, anyone have a good way to get vmplayer to work with sound?
[12:34] <gu1> what do you mean by executables?
[12:34] <SDO> user_: have osx on it, with parallels running to make xp and ubuntu work.
[12:34] <gu1> the files are in place.. so ls -l a.so will work fine...
[12:34] <Terminus> gu1: the execute bit has to be set for permissions.
[12:35] <Terminus> gu1: i was looking for the part that says '-rwxr-xr-x' when you do 'ls -l a.so'
[12:35] <gu1> ohh
[12:35] <user_> SDO: r u familar with Windows/Linux, how do u find osx?:)
[12:35] <gu1> yes.. since I am testing this stuff. I set 777 to all the files
[12:35] <gu1> so.. it is not that
[12:36] <user_> SDO: btw, never used macos, but familar with win/lin :)
[12:36] <SDO> user_: I have been using OS X since it was NeXTstep, so I like OS X nice.  Windows and Linux are necessary for my job too, so I use them to test software.
[12:36] <stefg> kal, if you had been clever you had installed nvidia-kernel-source before building  your kernel (you would have a fitting deb with nvidia.ko in it built automagically).
[12:36] <gu1> so it is -rwxrwxrwx
[12:36] <Terminus> gu1: which dir did you put it in?
[12:36] <SDO> OS X is pretty fast and fairly usable for all levels of users, so it is a good OS in general.
[12:36] <kal> stefg: ok that's why modprbe nvidia still doesn't work, even after building nvidia
[12:37] <Terminus> gu1: you might have to add the path to /etc/ld.so.conf.d/foo.conf and rerun ldconfig
[12:37] <SDO> try it out with a mac mini, I like having 2 OSs on it running in tandem, and look to have Solaris and Linux running here soon.
[12:37] <gu1> hm in my own dir, but also added it to /etc/ld.so.conf, and I know it is been taken since ldconf -v will show them
[12:37] <SDO> the days of hardware are over, and VM solutions like Parallels and VMWare are here to stay :)
[12:37] <stefg> kal: can't find a propre howto quick... but it goes along the lines of 'sudo apt-get install module-assistant 'm-a a-i nvidia' it's quick and painless
[12:37] <gu1> yes... I did that too
[12:37] <WindowLess> Billiard: i'm wrining you on our private screen
[12:37] <WindowLess> u there, Billiard?
[12:38] <user_> SDO: i have some question, like.. how is osx about openness, i mean, if i compare lin to win.. win is somthing i dont want to go back cuz in lin i defenately have a a freedon to do with the system waht i want
[12:38] <gu1> The only thing I can think of, is that the files where compiled in a 64 bit box, and moved to a 32 bit one... but I guess I should be getting a different error message
[12:38] <Terminus> gu1: beats me then. unless that copy is corrupt.
[12:38] <kal> stefg: module-assistant ? here is what i just did : cd /usr/src ; tar xvzf nvidia* ; cd nvidia*/nv ; make ; make install (i get an error there cause it cannot load nvidia module at the end)
[12:39] <Terminus> gu1: ah... maybe it was compiled as 64 bit then? you might have to recompile for 32 bit...
[12:39] <WindowLess> Billiard: hi. got your messages. maybe it's because i'm not registered on this chatroom. i should do that now
[12:39] <kal> stefg: now im recompiling my kernel to include nvidia.ko. Is it ok ?
[12:39] <Terminus> gu1: wouldn't know though. i don't do 64 bit.
[12:39] <SDO> you can mangle the OS X all you want.  It is fairly open, but in the sense of like Linux, there isn't much like linux regarding openess.
[12:39] <Billiard> WindowLess im not getting your messages, yea do that
[12:39] <theBishop> is this the right room to get help on the PS3 version of ubuntu?
[12:39] <red_21> any having problems running 7.04 on a dell e1505 laptop with the ati x1300 video card
[12:39] <red_21> ?
[12:39] <Corvinis-V> what was a good client for irc on linux? someone mentioned something like issrc earlier ?
[12:39] <Terminus> Corvinis-V: irssi?
[12:39] <SDO> but the best ting to do is just buy a mac mini before they are no longer avaialble, and try i tout.  I pretty much can say you will get $$$ out of it if you decide to sell.
[12:39] <Corvinis-V> oh yeah
[12:39] <DocTrax___> the file /etc/lsb-release is not well formatted
[12:39] <gu1> Terminus: thanks a lot for your help!
[12:39] <stefg> kal: there's more to it ( and you will want a deb) not necessary to recompile the whole kernel. Just get a clue about module assistant
[12:39] <mc44> red_21: what problem?
[12:39] <Corvinis-V> good one terminus ?
[12:39] <theBishop> Corvinis-V, i use xchat
[12:39] <DocTrax___> it should contain one line like "Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty" or only 7.04
[12:40] <Corvinis-V> ic
[12:40] <Terminus> Corvinis-V: i noticed that you just switched from windows so you might be more comfortable with xchat. personally, i use irssi. learning curve is steeper though.
[12:40] <DocTrax___> or is it a new format?
[12:40] <ramatieg> Anybody know of a 'native' (compiles to machine code) XML-RPC client?
[12:40] <Corvinis-V> I've been using mirc on windows alot :P
[12:40] <kal> stefg: ok im going to take a look at this program. I come from Gentoo, that's why i don't know it
[12:40] <AMDXP> xchat is good for beginners
[12:40] <Terminus> gu1: hope you get to fix it. =)
[12:40] <user_> SDO: ive also heard that rumor about closing a book on mac mini, but its not official euhm..
[12:40] <Corvinis-V> xchat is good ok :)
[12:40] <WindowLess> Billiard: see http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23984/
[12:41] <stefg> !info module-assistant
[12:41] <Terminus> Corvinis-V: when you get more comfortable with command line stuff and do a lot of things by remote, screen + irssi is hard to beat. =)
[12:41] <ubotu> module-assistant: tool to make module package creation easier. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.10.10 (feisty), package size 86 kB, installed size 428 kB
[12:41] <haykuro> Hello everyone :) I'm looking for some answers to 2 really quick questions. The first one is about compiling a very old kde app in feisty, and another is just a simple hardware question? can someone help me out
[12:41] <donkeet> im having trouble getting wireless to work
[12:41] <SDO> it may be, and from the sounds of it hte iTV is giong to be slated to replace the mac mini at the consumer level and provide media experience as well.  It does make sense, adn I would count the mini out of production in less than 6 months so that it doesn't compete with xmas/winter sales.
[12:41] <SDO> just my thoughts.
[12:41] <SDO> good luck.
[12:41] <Corvinis-V> haha ok :) Well I installed linux to run my webserver and learn about the OS :)
[12:41] <Corvinis-V> can't hurt to know more :x
[12:42] <kal> reboot ; brb
[12:42] <vladuz976> where do you set gnuplot paths ?
[12:43] <ulysse_> toujours pas resolu mon probleme d'arret
[12:43] <user_> SDO: waht can u tell about a video processor of duel core, (i guess its the last generation one)
[12:43] <Corvinis-L> lol
[12:43] <Corvinis-L> woot :) finally on irc!
[12:43] <Terminus> Corvinis-V: have fun. tweaking linux is a lot of fun. in your spare time of course. =)

[12:44] <Aerotwelve> Hey, can anyone help me with setting up my sound? It's not working for me, but lspci recognizes my card just fine.
[12:44] <stefg> !sound | Aerotwelve
[12:44] <ubotu> Aerotwelve: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3

[12:45] <Dutchy> how would i go about completely removing something, including all dependencies? i cant manage te reinstall all amarok depencies including config files
[12:45] <bruenig> does anyone know how to wget a search request from google, such as "wget google.com/search?q=ubuntu" I get 403 error when I do that
[12:46] <HymnToLife> Dutchy, sound like you're looking for apt-get remove --purge
[12:46] <Dutchy> hmm, i tried that... :| dont believe it worked
[12:46] <Terminus> lol HymnToLife. like messing up `make buildworld` is a good thing to do on mission critical boxen. =P
[12:46] <Pelo> Dutchy, menu > sytem > admin > synaptic package manager,  find the prog, rightclik, properties,  the first tab list all the dependencies,   make notes ,search and selects
[12:46] <vladuz976> can anybody tell me where i set gnuplot environmental variables please?
[12:46] <Dutchy> Pelo: ill try that
[12:46] <bruenig> Dutchy, sudo apt-get autoremove for all the dependencies, conf files will go too unless they are creating by the program during execution, such as those in ~
[12:46] <liquiddoom> I'm trying to setup my ubuntu server as a router with an NAT firewall. Know of any software which would help? All the software I find is for actual routers or is its own distro. Should I just run one in VMware?
[12:47] <kal> re
[12:47] <stefg> liquiddoom: Gui or just console?
[12:48] <Gheekaru> Hello everyone
[12:48] <jrib> bruenig: change the user agent
[12:48] <liquiddoom> stefg: Console. if I wanna blow 150MB, I CAN install firestarter or such
[12:48] <liquiddoom> stefg: But I really wanna keep it as light as possible
[12:48] <kal> stefg: it still does not work :( I have three debs : linux-headers-<IP_ADDRESS>_<IP_ADDRESS>-10.00.Custom_i386.deb linux-image-<IP_ADDRESS>_<IP_ADDRESS>-10.00.Custom_i386.deb nvidia-kernel-<IP_ADDRESS>_1.0.9631-0ubuntu3+<IP_ADDRESS>-10.00.Custom_i386.deb
[12:48] <thedonvaughn> liquiddoom, then don't install a bloated helper... just set it up by hand.  google nat + linux
[12:48] <stefg> !iptables
[12:48] <Pelo> hello Gheekaru , what can we do for you today
[12:48] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[12:48] <kal> stefg: these 3 debs are of course installed, but it still doesn not want to load the module
[12:49] <KjetilK> I have an NFS and samba server on my file server, and my idea has been to set up my laptop to use NFS if it detects that it is on the inside of my LAN, or SSHFS on the outside to mount them.
[12:49] <bruenig> jrib, and I would do that by...
[12:49] <liquiddoom> Alright. One more question
[12:49] <KjetilK> is that a good idea, and if so, has somebody done it allready?
[12:49] <Gheekaru> I'm writing a python script for Gedit, it works well, but Gedit don't let him display the result in a new document
[12:49] <stefg> kal: then you have to see the logs why it doesn't work (API mismatch is popular)
[12:49] <kal> stefg: moreover, the file /lib/modules/<IP_ADDRESS>/nvidia/nvidia.ko exist !
[12:49] <jrib> bruenig: -U, google for "wget faq" for a good string to use...
[12:49] <tjb13> hey guys I was wondering if there was a home router guide for ubuntu
[12:49] <kal> stefg: is there any log for modprobe ?
[12:49] <tjb13> like the gentoo one, to set up a router to share a cable modem connection using a ubuntu computer with 2 nics
[12:50] <tjb13> that would do dns and dhcp etc...
[12:50] <stefg> kal: sudo depmod --a
[12:50] <stefg> kal: sudo depmod -a
[12:50] <tjb13> like a linksys but just with your ubuntu box
[12:50] <Gheekaru> it always displays it in the console. If I turn the output to "new document", or "replace selection", Gedit turn it again to "Console"
[12:50] <Pelo> Gheekaru, try asking in #python , you're more likely to get help with this there
[12:50] <Gheekaru> no, the problem is gedit
[12:50] <liquiddoom> I have two network cards, one for the modem and one to go to my other machines. It recognizes both interfaces, but ifconfig only shows the one whose link is up. Once I plug the modem in, will the other interface come up?
[12:50] <kal> stefg:
[12:50] <kal> root ~ $ modprobe nvidia
[12:50] <kal> FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia
[12:50] <stefg> kal: because the nvidia-source wasn't present your system.map might be not aware if it
[12:51] <kal> i made the depmode -a of course :)
[12:51] <bruenig> jrib, yep thanks
[12:51] <stefg> kal: *sudo* modprobe (if you are not in a rott-shell)
[12:51] <liquiddoom> lshw says "*-network:0 DISABLED"
[12:51] <kal> stefg: im in a root shell :)
[12:52] <Gheekaru> Pelo: even if I copy a buit-in script, I got the same problem
[12:52] <wall0159> Hi all. I've just upgraded vpnc in Feisty and it isn't behaving any more :-). I think part of the problem is that it is now modifying resolv.conf (I don't want it to), but I'm not sure how to stop it doing this. Any suggestions?
[12:52] <Pelo> Gheekaru, I wouldn'T know how to help you which is why I was recommending #python
[12:53] <Gheekaru> okok. but the problem isn't python.. the builtin script is in bash... I'll keep trying
[12:55] <mitchell123b> hi can anyone help me

[12:55] <bluebanana> i've registered now
[12:55] <stefg> kal. have you built the kernel with the nvidia-framebuffer option /as module/ ? if you don't cmpile that as module it won't work... but i'm just guessing what the cause could bea close inspection of  /var/lo is probably a better betg
[12:55] <etzerd> hello all
[12:55] <mitchell123b> hold on let me get the exact words
[12:55] <etzerd> what version of firefox that come with ubuntu?
[12:56] <mitchell123b> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[12:56] <mitchell123b> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[12:56] <kal> stefg:
[12:56] <kal> root /usr/src/linux $ grep -i nvidia .config
[12:56] <kal> # CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA is not set
[12:56] <kal> lol it's a drama :D
[12:56] <bluebanana> Billiard: i'm the former windowless guy
[12:56] <stefg> ok... as i set i'm just guessing around
[12:57] <stefg> s/set/said/
[12:57] <wall0159> I only want to use the vnc to authenticate a program across the internet. I don't want to actually browse the remote network (hence I don't want vpnc to modify my resolv.conf file) - I've had a look in the docs, but I haven't really seen how to do this, or any howtos, etc... any pointers?
[12:57] <mitchell123b> does anyone know why i get this error message?
[12:58] <kal> stefg: my config is ok, isn't it ? i use this config kernel under gentoo and its ok...
[12:58] <stefg> kal: i wouldn't count on that. ubuntu has some very different ideas (libata e.g.)
[12:59] <Corvinis-V> can I add two servers to xchat?
[12:59] <eric__> Hi All, I have a Feisty install that I have moved from one notebook to another (the physical drive.) the two notebooks are almost identical just going to a faster proc, but the drivers nic, video and such are the same, however my ethernet is not coming up. how can I reconfig the network? is this a physical MAC address issue?
[12:59] <cj1> if you type "sudo aptitude dist-upgrade" from 6.06, will it upgrade to 6.10 or 7.04?
[12:59] <Corvinis-V> that both boot ?
[12:59] <mitchell123b> why do i get this error E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[12:59] <mitchell123b> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[12:59] <Corvinis-V> when i open xchat ?
[01:00] <kal> stefg: well, its a vanilla kernel, i didn't activated nvidia_framebuffer so it should be ok. Im going to search on google for the sme problem. Thank you anyway :)
[01:00] <stefg> mitchell123b: you get this because dpkg was interrupted.
[01:00] <poningru> !upgrade | cj1
[01:00] <ubotu> cj1: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[01:01] <mitchell123b> it happens everytime i try to update or download anything
[01:01] <mitchell123b> how can i fix it?
[01:01] <mapez> Where would I discuss cell phones on the ubuntu forums?
[01:01] <cj1> ubotu: yeah...trying now, but there is info in so many places, looks like i started in wrong place. trying to see how to undo so i can have a not-so-useless system...
[01:02] <stefg> mitchell123b: so have you run sudo dpkg--configure -a ?
[01:02] <cj1> er...poningru, i guess

[01:05] <bulmer> type python --version
[01:05] <konam> bluebanana python --version
[01:06] <konam> bulmer beat me to it
[01:06] <wall0159> ahh - I asked prematurely. FYI, I added a line to /etc/vpnc/default.conf. it was 'DNSUpdate no', so vpnc now doesn't alter my resolv.conf file
[01:06] <bluebanana> thanks. i tried doing an install and the terminal said i neeeded python 2.4 but i have 2.5, how can i force the install?
[01:07] <bluebanana> i'm using the "sudo dpkg -i " command for installing some debs
[01:07] <jrib> bluebanana: what are you installing?
[01:07] <mim> Hey I'm new to chat things. Let me see. I type "Hi", "LOL" etc is that right?

[01:07] <konam> mim yeah, that's right
[01:07] <jrib> mim: here, you just ask an ubuntu support question or help answer one
[01:08] <jrib> bluebanana: where are you getting these debs from?
[01:08] <Corvinis-V> is konversation any good btw?
[01:08] <Corvinis-V> or is that even more simple then xchat ?

[01:12] <Trixsey> I installed Ubuntu, and migrated from Gnome to KDE... Am I using Kubuntu right now or is it still Ubuntu? ^^
[01:12] <jrib> Wiseguy: right click on the chm file and go to properties.  Then go to "open with" and tell it to use your program
[01:12] <eric__> no
[01:12] <soundray> Wiseguy: try right-clicking on the file, select Properties, go to the Open with... tab and set xchm there.
[01:12] <Lilacor> Trixsey: you're still using ubuntu...just the KDE flavor of Ubuntu

[01:13] <rollerskatejamms> no we arent?
[01:13] <dv_> hi
[01:13] <rollerskatejamms> Wow, pidgin/gaim is a better IRC client then I thought it would be
[01:14] <Wiseguy> jrib, soundray, cool thanks
[01:14] <bluebanana> jrib: don't want to wait. how do i compile? what's the significance of upstream?

[01:14] <jeffwheeler> Is it _possible_ to change the FF icon?
[01:14] <danielito384> holaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[01:14] <Trixsey> He said I'm using Ubuntu with a KDE flavor
[01:14] <rollerskatejamms> Trixsey: yes, you can install the kubuntu-desktop package
[01:14] <jrib> bluebanana: join me in #ubuntu-classroom
[01:14] <Lilacor> Trixsey: it's essentially the same thing
[01:14] <dv_> In "Desktop Effects" I can only enable the cube and wobbling windows
[01:14] <Trixsey> And you say that Kubuntu is Ubuntu+KDE (essentially what I'm using)
[01:14] <dv_> but not the expose clone
[01:14] <rollerskatejamms> kubuntu can be installed as a metapackage, not just off cd
[01:14] <rollerskatejamms> dont think of kubuntu as a seperaet os from ubuntu
[01:14] <rollerskatejamms> think of it as ubuntu with slightly different packages. you can have both sets installed at once

[01:17] <ubotu> luiscobon: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[01:19] <unics> hello
[01:19] <soundray> !hi
[01:19] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[01:19] <kal> stefg: indeed, insmod can load nvidia.ko but modprobe can no
[01:19] <kal> s/no/not
[01:19] <unics> i have a lower end system, which version of ubuntu would be best to use, but still get some nice features ?
[01:19] <soundray> kal: that's usually fixed with sudo depmod -a
[01:20] <stefg> so go and use m-a
[01:20] <unics> should i name some details of my system ?
[01:20] <kal> soundray: i did it ...
[01:20] <PurpZeY> unics: xubuntu is the least graphically intense...What are the specs?
[01:20] <soundray> unics: yes
[01:20] <kal> stefg: i do not understand how m-a works. Can you give me the command or link me to a wiki ?
[01:21] <unics> PII 400Mhz, 192 MB 133Mhz SDRam, geforce 2 - 32MB, 40GB HDD
[01:21] <rookiehwm> ew
[01:21] <rookiehwm> xubuntu it is~
[01:21] <PurpZeY> Maybe you want PuppyLinux on something like that
[01:21] <rookiehwm> !
[01:21] <Corvinis-L> mmm yeah
[01:21] <LinTux> what is the easiest way to configure comms 1 for a modem
[01:21] <Corvinis-L> like konversation alot better
[01:21] <Corvinis-L> then xchat
[01:21] <Lilacor> 192MB...whoah
[01:21] <unics> would xubuntu work smooth with these specs ?
[01:21] <stefg> kal: sudo apt-get install module-assistant (to get it), cd /usr/src/nvidia , sudo m-a a-i nvidia
[01:22] <soundray> unics: I'd recommend xubuntu. I've run ubuntu on a system similar to yours, but you need a lot of patience.
[01:22] <lllllll> When I go to System>Administration>synaptic package manager, I can't download the package list from the internet. Firefox is online fine, but Ubuntu itself doesn't seem to be able to connect. Help!
[01:22] <Lilacor> unics: I recommend you run a command line system.
[01:22] <poningru> lllllll: hmm
[01:22] <Lilacor> unics: anything more than that would be useless
[01:22] <kal> stefg: cd /usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/ ? or i mkdir a nvidia in /usr/src ?
[01:22] <poningru> lllllll: go into a terminal
[01:22] <poningru> and type ifconfig
[01:22] <poningru> what do you see there?
[01:22] <unics> well, i would like it to run smooth, i'm not after super graphics, or high configurability, it should just look nice and perform well (not stuck all the time)
[01:22] <Wescott> Is there a way to add icons to the gnome "start button" for all users?
[01:23] <stefg> kal: nvidia-kernel is the one
[01:23] <soundray> unics: what are you planning to use your system for?
[01:23] <poningru> lllllll: then do a ping ubuntu.com
[01:23] <LinTux> how do I configure a comms port to use a modem
[01:23] <kal> ok let's try again, brb :)
[01:23] <unics> IRC, some music, messenger, and some programming in Perl or some others
[01:23] <poningru> lllllll: now go and check to see that your sources are checked in system->admin->software repositories
[01:24] <MattJ> unics: I've used Xubuntu on a similar spec PC. What can I say, it's better than Windows :P
[01:24] <rookiehwm> if only there were itunes for linux
[01:24] <rookiehwm> that's all i ask
[01:24] <rookiehwm> ALL
[01:24] <unics> ohh, ok then, i'll check it out, thanks guys
[01:24] <poningru> lllllll: also uncheck the cd
[01:24] <PanzerMKZ> ubuntu server is good too
[01:24] <poningru> rookiehwm: just use rythmbox
[01:24] <MattJ> rookiehwm: Amarok beats itunes hands down ;)
[01:24] <PanzerMKZ> just to be a file server
[01:24] <poningru> or amarok
[01:24] <rookiehwm> but i need to play my purchased music
[01:24] <rookiehwm> that's the prob, bob
[01:24] <soundray> rookiehwm: ask Apple to port it. Only they can help, since iTunes is closed source.
[01:24] <lllllll> I haven't got "software repositories". I've got "software sources"
[01:24] <LinTux> how do i configure a modem port?
[01:25] <hammedhaaret> rookiehwm: you should try out songbird... its only beta still but its really good
[01:25] <stefg> !modem | LinTux
[01:25] <ubotu> LinTux: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
[01:25] <brylie> rookiehwm, don't support apple any more by purchasing their proprietery formatted music
[01:25] <bluebanana> jrib
[01:25] <LinTux> No I want to use a packet radio TNC, basically a modem.
[01:25] <bluebanana> i got lost
[01:26] <soundray> LinTux: you need a terminal emulator, like minicom
[01:26] <brylie> rookiehwm, if AAC were a more open codec it would be more easy for linux users to play in whatever player they choose
[01:26] <hammedhaaret> rookiehwm... your purcased music? the DRM crap? there is another way to get that.. after all you paid for it once. i wouldn't feel to guilty
[01:26] <soundray> !info minicom | LinTux
[01:26] <rookiehwm> hammedhaaret, yeah, i know, but it's a pain in the arse lol
[01:26] <ubotu> lintux: minicom: friendly menu driven serial communication program. In component main, is optional. Version 2.2-4build1 (feisty), package size 164 kB, installed size 1112 kB
[01:27] <LinTux> yes but I need to configure a port surely
[01:27] <soundray> LinTux: yes. In minicom.
[01:27] <LinTux> cheers
[01:28] <brylie> I agree that piracy is a legitimate option for rookiehwm
[01:28] <soundray> LinTux: your first serial port is usually called /dev/ttyS0, the second one /dev/ttyS1 (COM1 and COM2 in DOS)
[01:28] <stefg> LinTux: you'll need to write a udev-rule which dynamically creates the right device-node (like /dev/modem ) in the /dev -tree
[01:28] <hammedhaaret> rookiehwm: http://www.songbirdnest.com/  ...as far as i can tell... songbird supports ACC
[01:28] <LinTux> soundray do I need to set these up?
[01:28] <ugarit> what is the name of the package that contains the kernel sources for 2.6.20-16?
[01:28] <rookiehwm> hammedhaaret, thanks!
[01:29] <rookiehwm> i'll check it out
[01:29] <brylie> It is not good to transcode from one lossy codec to another but I would personally migrate my collection away from AAC
[01:29] <soundray> LinTux: no, normally if they are present they will exist already.
[01:29] <lllllll> poningru: I'm connected to my uni network fine, and as I say Firefox is OK now too, but nothing else will go. Gaim doesn't connect, nor does ubuntu itself when looking for updates, downloading package lists etc.
[01:29] <rollerskatejamms> Anybody know how much space a command line install from the alternate cd uses up
[01:29] <chowmeined> lllllll: proxy?
[01:29] <rollerskatejamms> i mean if i install a command line system
[01:29] <soundray> LinTux: if your TNC needs special settings, you can make them there. Default is 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop.
[01:29] <stefg> ugarit: : apt-cache search linux-soure
[01:29] <bruenig> rollerskatejamms, in the range of 2 gigs probably
[01:30] <rookiehwm> hammedhaaret, it says it supports itunes store purchased songs, thanks!
[01:30] <soundray> LinTux: oops, by "there" I mean minicom
[01:30] <stefg> ugarit: : apt-cache search linux-source
[01:30] <rollerskatejamms> bruenig, really that much? with no apps at all? wheres that 2 gigs go
[01:30] <lllllll> chowmeined: My proxy is set up in preferences>network proxy exactly the same as it is in firefox
[01:30] <poningru> lllllll: that is weird and does not make sense because the software install uses port 80 same as firefox
[01:30] <bruenig> rollerskatejamms, with no apps at all, the alternate cd installs apps
[01:30] <ugarit> stefg: nothing was returned!!!
[01:30] <rollerskatejamms> bruenig, No I don't mean the standard alternate instal
[01:30] <bruenig> rollerskatejamms, server install?
[01:30] <rollerskatejamms> bruenig, I mean when you use the "Install command line system" option on the alternate cd
[01:30] <ugarit> so there it is
[01:30] <brylie> rookiehwm, I uso a audio player on Ubuntu called Audacious which, I just read, has AAC support
[01:30] <chowmeined> lllllll: there is also a proxy setting in synaptic
[01:30] <stefg> !info linux-source
[01:30] <ubotu> linux-source: Linux kernel source with Ubuntu patches. In component main, is optional. Version <IP_ADDRESS>.28.1 (feisty), package size 23 kB, installed size 52 kB
[01:30] <lllllll> poningru: It took some strange actions to get firefox to go, to be fair
[01:31] <hammedhaaret> rookiehwm: you're welcome
[01:31] <lllllll> OK, I'll look in synaptic
[01:31] <chowmeined> lllllll: and if you are using command line tools, you need to set the var $http_proxy
[01:31] <bruenig> rollerskatejamms, oh, I am not sure, probably very little, just a kernel and basic stuff, I would bet < 500 MB
[01:31] <poningru> lllllll: can you ping google.com?
[01:31] <chowmeined> lllllll: but they may block ports, the proxy will pretty much only help you with port 80
[01:31] <rollerskatejamms> bruenig, yeah. i want to use it to create a virtual command line system on my windows box cuz i cant stand cygwin
[01:31] <rollerskatejamms> but my windows partition only has 15gb
[01:31] <brylie> rookiehwm, Audacious can be installed via Synaptic
[01:32] <chamunks> anyone know about setting file permissions for /var/www/
[01:32] <chamunks> Pls its a bit urgent
[01:32] <bruenig> chamunks, I know about setting permissions in general, what do you want to do
[01:32] <rookiehwm> brylie, thanks, i'll check it out
[01:33] <chamunks> bruenig, well im trying to give access to me and my friend who both admin my website
[01:33] <hammedhaaret> Hi. wanted to know if there's an app  that does the same as wine, but with Mac .dmg files?   came to think of it when i wanted to try out http://www.plasmapong.com/  ....and though that since OSX is openGL too it would probably be easier to emulate that.  can anybody help? thx
[01:33] <lllllll> It looks like I'm pinging google OK. Does the terminal usually do it repeatedly if you just enter "ping google.com"?
[01:33] <bruenig> chamunks, just make sure you are both part of the www-data group or whatever it is and make sure that group has rw
[01:33] <brylie> rookiehwm, Audacious is more a straightforward media player than a music manager. It has last.fm support too.
[01:33] <yuzef-aron> hello
[01:33] <chamunks> bruenig, and i figured adding us both to the same groups and recursively giving him and the group we were both in 774
[01:34] <lllllll> The icon near the clock in the top right always told me I was connected to the network and could find the servers etc. ok
[01:34] <yuzef-aron> im haveing a keyring problem
[01:34] <bruenig> chamunks, yeah, was there a problem there?
[01:34] <gnomefreak> lllllll: yes thats normal you can stop it using ctrl+c
[01:34] <Chicory> In Evolution, where do I enter the password for my e-mail account?
[01:34] <chamunks> bruenig, well now you know what i was trying to do my entire site http://void11.com is having some issues now lol
[01:34] <chamunks> bruenig, as you can see lol
[01:34] <Chicory> Seriously, I can't seem to find the field anywhere, and for some reason the documentation finds it readily apparent.
[01:34] <soundray> LinTux: still here?
[01:35] <LinTux> me still here, this ax25 stuff driving me mad
[01:35] <soundray> LinTux: have you seen http://www.qbjnet.com/packet.html ?
[01:35] <lllllll> Synaptic doesn't allow for a automatic proxy configuration script's URL to be put in
[01:35] <brylie> Chicory, you might enter the password when you check your e-mail
[01:36] <bruenig> chamunks, I have never had or messed with a website, perhaps you need 775? I know dirs need executable to operate correctly, perhaps that is the same for the site?
[01:36] <Chicory> Er, in Evolution.
[01:36] <skel> heheh.. gmail is "beta" right?
[01:36] <LinTux> Soundray: you are a diamond
[01:36] <lllllll> my connections are still being refused when trying to download repository indexes >:(
[01:36] <gnomefreak> skel: no
[01:37] <hammedhaaret> Hi again. wanted to know if there's an app  that does the same as wine, but with Mac .dmg files?   came to think of it when i wanted to try out http://www.plasmapong.com/  ....and though that since OSX is openGL too it would probably be easier to emulate that.  can anybody help? thx
[01:37] <chamunks> bruenig, well the main index.php file used to only have 644
[01:37] <gnomefreak> skel: it was released and made public. please ask offtopic questions in #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:37] <bruenig> chamunks, 664 maybe?
[01:37] <SillyZ> question, running an intel core duo here 2 x 1.86ghz ... which kernel am I going to see the best performance with? smp or non-smp?
[01:37] <skel> gnomefreak: really? my gmail says "beta" next to it. I'll leave it out of #ubuntu though.. thanks for the misinformation =]
[01:37] <Kirsch_> hey guys, i need to copy contents from /dev/hda1 to /dev/hdb1 (over 200GB) what's the best way to copy it knowing that it is verified and the dates and such are preserved?
[01:37] <Chicory> Right, it's "beta", but gmail?
[01:37] <PurpZeY> IreClan: I believe so w/ proper codecs.
[01:38] <Chicory> Gmail worked on evolution just a bit ago on my other computer.
[01:38] <bruenig> Kirsch_, dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/dev/hdb1
[01:38] <Ireclan> PurpZey: Yeah, but what codec? No one knows....
[01:38] <skel> all I was going to say was there's no where to submit bugs that I can find after digging around.. if it truly is a "beta"
[01:39] <soundray> lllllll: you can make proxy settings in /etc/apt/apt.conf.  Read man apt.conf to see what you need to do.
[01:39] <Kirsch_> i can't do it by partition like that, i need to do it by file
[01:39] <brylie> skel, beta just means that the developers [with or without community support]  are still working out bugs
[01:39] <Kirsch_> they file size is different and i'm goign to a raid drive (/dev/md0)
[01:40] <lllllll> Ok, I'll have a look at that
[01:40] <skel> brylie: I think you might want to lookup the definition of beta =]
[01:40] <RoAkSoAx> lllllll, or do this in a console: export http_proxy=http://yourproxy:port/
[01:40] <brylie> skel http://mail.google.com/support/bin/request.py
[01:41] <Narada> i'm getting this: ./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory; any idea?
[01:41] <salak> where does apt-get cache stocks the packages??
[01:41] <dzer0> hello
[01:41] <soundray> salak: /var/cache/apt/archives/
[01:41] <salak> hello
[01:41] <gnomefreak> salak: what do you mean stocks?
[01:41] <BigMac> Is there a way to set it so that all users can read and write files in a folder and its sub dirs?
[01:41] <gnomefreak> salak: apt-cache reads packages from the repos you have enabled
[01:41] <salak> dake schn
[01:42] <soundray> salak: gern
[01:42] <cinvoke> im having trouble starting enlightenment, help please..............
[01:42] <gnomefreak> salak: when you download using apt-get it saves them to /var/cache/apt/archives
[01:42] <dzer0> my question is not necessarily directly about ubuntu, but it's directly related
[01:42] <bruenig> !ask | dzer0
[01:42] <ubotu> dzer0: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:42] <chamunks> bruenig, ok umm heres another stupid issue when i was trying to restore from my backup that i created it only copied some of the files and theres hundreds of directories and files in this folder
[01:42] <bruenig> !enter | dzer0
[01:42] <ubotu> dzer0: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[01:43] <gnomefreak> cinvoke: choose it from gdm/kdm/xdm (if you built it yourself there are instructions on how to add it to gdm/kdm/so on
[01:43] <salak> gnomefreak soundray :does apt-get also keep the configurations of those packages.
[01:43] <bruenig> chamunks, don't know how you did it, so it is hard to determine why
[01:43] <gnomefreak> salak: ~/ and /etc have the confi files
[01:43] <chamunks> its just a big mud pie of stupid permissions errors everywhere
[01:43] <brylie> skel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_cycle#Beta
[01:43] <cinvoke> gnomefreak: ok ill try that
[01:44] <gnomefreak> brylie: stop now
[01:44] <soundray> salak: no. Default configuration files are stored inside the .deb files
[01:44] <salak> thanks guys
[01:44] <gnomefreak> brylie: i muted him for being offtopic please stay on topic
[01:44] <chamunks> bruenig, i just used mv -f /var/wwwbkp/www/ /var/
[01:44] <PhantasyHawk> can someone send the !dvd or what have you my way
[01:44] <bruenig> chamunks, seems like it should work assuming you were root and whatnot
[01:44] <cinvoke> gnomefreak: where is gdm?
[01:45] <bruenig> PhantasyHawk, do /msg ubotu dvd
[01:45] <gnomefreak> !dvd > PhantasyHawk
[01:45] <brylie> mainly says that beta is early release.. gnomefreak most of the software people are asking for support on it #ubuntu is beta.. I don't agree that 'beta' is off topic
[01:45] <gnomefreak> PhantasyHawk: in your pm
[01:45] <chamunks> bruenig, i was using root for some reason it gave me an error let me see if i can find it
[01:45] <dzer0> basically, I have an ubuntu server that I was using in my LAN for file serving to my other computers. I got a new printer (HP LaserJet 1020) and hooked that up. It didn't work until I followed a guide to install it. One of the steps was flashing a new firmware on to it. The printer worked fine in ubuntu on my server after that, but now my server is no longer with me, and my printer refuses to work on my windows box. Is there any way to fix
[01:45] <PhantasyHawk> Thank you, bruenig and gnomefreak
[01:45] <gnomefreak> PhantasyHawk: yw
[01:45] <gnomefreak> brylie: gmail beta is way offtopic
[01:45] <gnomefreak> now you are mutitng for 10 minutes as well
[01:45] <gnomefreak> muted*
[01:46] <dzer0> basically, I have an ubuntu server that I was using in my LAN for file serving to my other computers. I got a new printer (HP LaserJet 1020) and hooked that up.

The printer worked fine in ubuntu on my server after that, but now my server is no longer with me, and my printer refuses to work on my windows box.
[01:46] <dzer0>  Is there any way to fix it i.e. something to flash the original firmware back on to it or something? I really would like to get it working again. (sorry but I had to use enter, I was at the character limit)
[01:46] <chamunks> bruenig, mv: cannot overwrite directory /var/www/forum
[01:46] <clsk> hm I'm trying to set a dual-boot system with ubuntu and vista. Would I need the alternate desktop cd for that?
[01:46] <clsk> Also I'm trying to setup a fat32 partition to share with both OSs.
[01:47] <cinvoke> where can i find GDM ?
[01:47] <chamunks> bruenig, would you be kewl with taking a look at my session ill pastebin it for you if you will
[01:47] <soundray> dzer0: was the firmware you flashed unofficial in some way?
[01:47] <PriceChild> clsk, desktop cd "should" do it
[01:47] <icf7> clsk: no, the Desktop CD configures that automatically
[01:47] <PurpZeY> clsk: Vista does not like to play with ubuntu
[01:47] <RoAkSoAx> cinvoke, /etc/gdm
[01:47] <cinvoke> roaksoax:  Thx
[01:47] <dzer0> soundray: I believe so, it was called foo2zjs, and it was the only way to get the printer to work on ubuntu
[01:47] <bruenig> chamunks, I suppose
[01:48] <bruenig> chamunks, you should learn how to use rsync, it is good for backs up such as that
[01:48] <salak> my sound control buttns on the keyboard just started to control microphone input and wont control the speakers. how can i reconfigure it ???
[01:48] <chamunks> bruenig, i was actually wondering if rsync would be able to syncronize these two directories so idont have to manually compare hundreds of directories
[01:49] <bruenig> chamunks, yes it can
[01:49] <lllllll> soundray: where is 'man apt.conf'?
[01:49] <clsk> PurpZeY: What do you mean exactly?
[01:49] <bruenig> lllllll, type that into the terminal
[01:49] <lllllll> aaahh, cheers
[01:49] <cinvoke> roaksoax:  How do i change desktop managers in gdm.ocnf
[01:50] <soundray> dzer0: I see... the printer firmware is non-permanent. Windows should upload its own when you configure the printer there.
[01:50] <Narada> how do you get real player support in firefox in ubuntu
[01:50] <dzer0> soundray unfortunately windows just plain won't see the printer
[01:50] <zirko> Hi, can somebody explain me what's the diference between using fglrx + XGL and radeon + AIGLX to run beryl?
[01:50] <liquiddoom> After looking at setting up an NAT by hand, I really think it would better in my case to have an interface for it... know of any packages that would work (aside from X-based ones)?
[01:51] <soundray> dzer0: have you gone through HP's online troubleshooting advice?
[01:51] <salak> my sound control buttns on the keyboard just started to control microphone input and wont control the speakers. how can i reconfigure it ???
[01:51] <SillyZ> ok heres one.... i do a ./configure , and Im getting Compiler cannot create executables?
[01:51] <chamunks> bruenig, ok lets look into that in a few mins
[01:51] <bruenig> Narada, sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer && sudo apt-get remove totem-mozilla
[01:51] <timmers> Anyone have any luck getting Adobe Photoshop working without buying crossover office?
[01:52] <jrib> SillyZ: install build-essential
[01:52] <ralph> i'm having problems with apache2 in trying to setup my webserver to point to my php modules
[01:52] <chamunks> bruenig, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23991/  im sure thats more just bloat than it is useful though
[01:52] <SillyZ> thanks jrib
[01:52] <dzer0> soundray yes, and I've tried calling them...they wanted to charge me $15 :/
[01:52] <gnomefreak> timmers: try in wine but i doubt it will run in wine
[01:52] <timmers> It hasn't
[01:52] <soundray> dzer0: what a ripoff
[01:52] <bruenig> timmers, I would imagine that if you could get the portable version of it that people hack up, you could wine that, I think I read that somewhere, the first part is probably the hardest
[01:52] <gnomefreak> timmers: than without running windows in vmware you will nee crossover
[01:53] <gnomefreak> need
[01:53] <Narada> bruenig: awesome; works; thanks
[01:53] <soundray> dzer0: sorry, I think you will need to check out a more Windows oriented channel then -- ##windows
[01:53] <Narada> bruenig: wait; spoke too soon
[01:54] <Narada> bruenig: it plays sound; but no video
[01:54] <bruenig> chamunks, not sure, perhaps you should have rm -rf /var/www before moving over the backup
[01:54] <bruenig> Narada, link?
[01:54] <soundray> dzer0: maybe exclude USB problems first.
[01:54] <Narada> bruenig: go to news.bbc.co.uk and click on "Man breaks hot dog record" on middle right.
[01:54] <Tb0n3> beryl fucked up and won't load properly, title bars wont show up for apps and the window manager isn't working right
[01:54] <cinvoke> gnomefreak: how do i change to enlightenment from gdm?
[01:55] <soundray> !language | Tb0n3
[01:55] <ubotu> Tb0n3: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[01:55] <gnomefreak> Tb0n3: please watch your language
[01:55] <gnomefreak> cinvoke: gdm is the log in screen
[01:55] <Narada> bruenig: or anything from bbc
[01:55] <Tb0n3> beryl messed up and won't load properly, title bars wont show up for apps and the window manager isn't working right
[01:55] <gnomefreak> cinvoke: log out on the log in screen click on sessions and choose enlightenment
[01:55] <bruenig> Narada, I have video on the hot dog video
[01:55] <chamunks> bruenig, that could have been an issue.  Though since the damage is done is there any way i can rsync these two directories /var/wwwbkp/www   and /var/www/  while retaining the original permissions?
[01:55] <Narada> bruenig: i tried installing real player gold free for linux; but it complains about a missing library
[01:55] <gnomefreak> Tb0n3: did you try in #ubuntu-effects?
[01:55] <cinvoke> gnomefreak: o
[01:55] <cinvoke> gnomefreak: thx
[01:55] <Narada> bruenig: hmm strange what to do?
[01:56] <gnomefreak> cinvoke: yw
[01:56] <soundray> Narada: what missing library?
[01:56] <Narada> soundray: ./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[01:56] <bruenig> chamunks, I really haven't done much of that kind of stuff, there probably is though, just need to read some docs or see if someone else more knowing than I can help
[01:57] <gnomefreak> Narada: did you install libstdc
[01:57] <hammedhaaret> Hi again. wanted to know if there's an app  that does the same as wine, but with Mac .dmg files?   came to think of it when i wanted to try out http://www.plasmapong.com/  ....and though that since OSX is openGL too it would probably be easier to emulate that.  can anybody help? thx
[01:57] <gnomefreak> ++5-dev
[01:57] <Narada> is that the pkg name?  no; i will try now
[01:57] <bruenig> the mplayer plugin should work, it is working here
[01:57] <gnomefreak> Narada: ill get you the exact name in a sec
[01:57] <Narada> bruenig: not even on a fresh firefox profile
[01:57] <soundray> Narada: the package name is libstdc++5
[01:57] <Narada> gnomefreak: kk
[01:57] <no_arms> libgtk
[01:57] <soundray> Narada: you're not on 64 bits, are you?
[01:57] <bruenig> Narada, maybe you don't have it configured correctly, when it starts up with the audio right click on it and configure and change the video output option
[01:58] <chamunks> bruenig, yeah this data is pretty important im hoping someone can give me a pretty foolproof way to do it i dont want to test my knowledge when im working with my only copy of this data
[01:58] <Narada> soundray: hmm it installs gcc-3.3-base as well; strange
[01:58] <gnomefreak> libstdc++5-3.3-dev and libstdc++5 Narada
[01:58] <soundray> Narada: that's fine
[01:58] <aspro> hammedhaaret: I don't believe there is, though if you are on a PPC computer there is MacOnLinux
[01:58] <bruenig> chamunks, probably should have gone with cp rather than mv, not that it helps now
[01:58] <gnomefreak> Narada: im fairly sure with that lib. its in the -dev package but i dont rmemeber offhand
[01:58] <soundray> Narada: btw, I had bad audio with realplayer. mozilla-mplayer works better for me.
[01:59] <Narada> bruenig: which did you pick; windows media player or real?
[01:59] <Toyd> freenode staffers trying to limit our freedom come to  #macosx-gay  and support us please
[01:59] <chamunks> bruenig, yeah that was my idiot mistake :S I realised what i was doing when it was too late
[01:59] <bruenig> Narada, real, when the audio pops up and you get that beige colored box, click on that beige colored box and select configure, mess around with the video output until it works
[02:00] <Narada> doing now
[02:00] <brylie> !operator
[02:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about operator - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:00] <chamunks> anyone know how to cross sync two directories with out overwriting data in either folder its a bit of a life or death

[02:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about op abuse - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:01] <Narada> bruenig: do i have to restart ff everytime i change video output
[02:01] <brylie> gnomefreak I would like to report op abuse.
[02:01] <Rechner-Tester> Hi there! I have the following problem: There are 2 Scsi disks in my System. 1 for Windows, 1 for ubuntu (7.04). I switch my booting OS by selecting a drive in the Bios of my SCSI-Controller as Bootdevice and mark the other one not to spin up (to save enery, noise and to extend the lifetime of the disk). But if i boot ubuntu the unnecessary windows drive will spinup. Any idea how to prevent this?
[02:01] <gnomefreak> brylie: join #ubuntu-ops
[02:01] <bruenig> Narada, no, maybe the video though
[02:01] <Narada> bruenig: what do you have it set to
[02:01] <Narada> bruenig: the option i mean
[02:01] <dzer0> lol...
[02:01] <bruenig> Narada, x11
[02:02] <dzer0> I restarted my computer and now it works soundray
[02:02] <soundray> dzer0: well done
[02:02] <dzer0> I shoulda tried that earlier
[02:03] <dzer0> well thanks anyway for the help
[02:03] <soundray> dzer0: yw
[02:03] <Narada> bruenig: hmm no luck; maybe i need to check my x config; i borrowed it from another machine
[02:03] <Narada> bruenig: unless you know of a way for me to reconfigure X with autodetection and without being asked a million questions
[02:04] <bruenig> Narada, I think it was on xv when I used ubuntu
[02:04] <bruenig> Narada, I don't think such a thing exists in ubuntu, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg is all you got, I wish it had some of those autodetect scripts like some of the other distros that are solid and require no input, but don't think so
[02:05] <J-_> is there a driver that i can use for a xbox controller I made into USB?
[02:05] <peepsalot> anyone know how i can convert an image to pdf?
[02:05] <Narada> bruenig: it clearly knows how to autodetect during installation; i just need to reuse it! :/
[02:06] <bruenig> I don't know, there detection scripts aren't as good as some of the others, I was getting some serious artifacts with their scripts, and none in my new distro
[02:06] <bruenig> their*
[02:06] <soundray> Rechner-Tester: there is no kernel support for spinning down SCSI disk. Linux bypasses your BIOS. Unfortunately, I don't think there is a solution for your problem, unless you patch the kernel.
[02:06] <soundray> disks*
[02:07] <logmein> what up homies!
[02:07] <sleepwalkers> ...hello.
[02:07] <b-dizzle> hey...
[02:07] <logmein> hi
[02:07] <gottatrieit> Hi. I have a major problem but I need help to solve a very simple one.
[02:07] <b-dizzle> lay it on us
[02:07] <logmein> gottatrieit: answer is B
[02:07] <sleepwalkers> I thought the answer was 47.
[02:08] <logmein> X sooo can't equal 47 that is A
[02:08] <rookiehwm> 42!
[02:08] <rookiehwm> it's always 42
[02:08] <rookiehwm> DUH
[02:08] <Rechner-Tester> soundray There is a tool to spindown scsi drives, I'm using this on a server fpr backup drives. But i want linux from spining it up at all. something like execluding the drive from the scanning for scsi device
[02:08] <gottatrieit> In terminal, how do you change the screen size?  I need to use terminal to correct a problem but the command line goes off the screen at the bottom!
[02:08] <mafios0> how to update an obselete package from the internet using apt-get ? , it's ubuntu server
[02:09] <gottatrieit> I can't see to input my next command.
[02:09] <Rechner-Tester> soundray But i want to _prevent_ linux from...
[02:09] <soundray> Rechner-Tester: understand
[02:09] <logmein> gottatrieit: do your command then add | less and press spacebar to scroll through it
[02:09] <Rechner-Tester> :-)
[02:09] <Narada> :(
[02:09] <logmein> gottatrieit: ctrl C kills the command you entered
[02:09] <sleepwalkers> Gottatrieit: Your monitor should have controls to adjust the screen size.
[02:10] <bpds> Has anyone had luck recording from line-in or microphone with Fiesty?
[02:10] <b-dizzle> it's the window, not the sceen sleep
[02:10] <donkeet> anyone good with wireless?
[02:10] <logmein> donkeet: me sorta
[02:10] <b-dizzle> bpds: I have with audacity
[02:10] <soundray> Rechner-Tester: essentially, what you need is *driver* support for what you want.  Some SCSI drivers accept parameters passed via the kernel boot line. The most reliable way to find out is to look at the driver's source code.
[02:10] <Orfeous> still got problem installing nvidia drivers on my ubuntu
[02:10] <logmein> Orfeous: wait a sec I'll help ya
[02:11] <Orfeous> logmein: thank you!
[02:11] <sleepwalkers> If gottatrieit is running Terminal just inside of Gnome... and the window is too big... why not just resize it using the top two corners that are hopefully visible?
[02:11] <enzo> Hi, I'm very new to Ubuntu. How do I save my desktop background? Every time I log out it goes back to the default.
[02:11] <source> can anyone help me i am having trouble with JACK_drvLoad
[02:11] <Rechner-Tester> soundray: lsmod gives me this:
[02:11] <Rechner-Tester> sym53c8xx              74900  2
[02:11] <Rechner-Tester> scsi_transport_spi     25216  1 sym53c8xx
[02:11] <Rechner-Tester> scsi_mod              142348  5 sg,sd_mod,sym53c8xx,scsi_transport_spi,libata
[02:11] <logmein> enzo: never had that problem before
[02:11] <bpds> b-dizzle: I keep getting an error message about the sound device.  I can hear the lin-in input but I can't record it.
[02:11] <enzo> ..and the picture does not save
[02:12] <b-dizzle> hmm...
[02:12] <gottatrieit> sleepwalker: I knew it had to be something simple! lol I tried look thru the man pages and forums, tutorials, etc. for and explanation and couldn't find one.
[02:12] <cinvoke>
[02:12] <super-6-1> hello i have a wireless porblem can you please help?
[02:12] <Rechner-Tester> sorry for spaming!
[02:12] <donkeet> logmein: ok I am trying to get wireless setup, i have a broadcom chip and it seems to recognise it, however its not displaying any connections
[02:12] <sleepwalkers> Heh so that worked? Yeah, you can resize windows using any of the four corners if for some reason it's larger than your screen.
[02:12] <SillyZ> anyone an expert here with ATI and getting World of warcraft running?
[02:12] <SillyZ> could really use a lil insight
[02:13] <b-dizzle> bpds: sorry but i'm not really sure how to fix that- mine worked out of the box
[02:13] <Rechner-Tester> soundray: modinfo on this modules wasn't very helpfull
[02:13] <gottatrieit> sleepwalker: I am using straight terminal. That's my major problem I'm trying to resolve. I run Dapper on my main machine and downloaded Compiz to play with the screen stuff.
[02:13] <logmein> Orfeous: gerro said he's help you
[02:13] <bpds>  arecord -vv /dev/null shows no volume level even though capture is activated and I switch from microphone to line-in with lo luck
[02:14] <hackle577> does anyone know where i can download the Outlook new email .wav file? I'd like to use it for CheckGmail.
[02:14] <bpds> b-dizzle:  Thanks
[02:14] <logmein> donkeet: use ndiswrapper with the inf and sys files from the correct windows driver for that wireless card
[02:14] <soundray> Rechner-Tester: like I say, you need to read the source. Get linux-source-2.6.20 and read sym53c8xx.c
[02:14] <cinvoke> im currently in the enlightenment , i want to install a different theme. I downloaded a few, and now i dont know how to install them, help please
[02:14] <logmein> donkeet: also blacklist whatever driver it is trying to use, do locate blacklist to find where to add it
[02:15] <Orfeous> logmein: ok :)
[02:15] <donkeet> logmein: ok i have no idea what the output of the blacklist means - im brand new to linux...matter of hours new
[02:15] <Orfeous> Gerro: ready to help me?
[02:15] <Rechner-Tester> soundry okay, thx. Hope this will help. But not tonight, for now i'm going to sleep. Its 2:15 am in germany *g*
[02:16] <Gerro> Orfeous: yeah um is it 64 bit or 32 bit processor?
[02:16] <gottatrieit> Then I downloaded the newer version of nVidia drivers as that's what I have on my Dapper machine.  I can't boot into the screen UI (gdm? -- X-server?)
[02:16] <soundray> Rechner-Tester: yeah, 1:15 here, gute Nacht ;)
[02:16] <b-dizzl1> hey what would you guys say are the min. system reqs. for running virtualbox or vmware on ubuntu?
[02:16] <Orfeous> dont know... intel duo core 2
[02:16] <bpds> Anyone else know how to get recording back in Fiesty?  Edgy worked fine.
[02:16] <Gerro> yep its 32 bit then
[02:16] <Orfeous> ok
[02:16] <Rechner-Tester> soundry: where u from?
[02:16] <scott___> how can i save my session
[02:17] <Orfeous> Gerro: i have tried many things when trying to install this damn drivers.
[02:17] <khermans_> b-dizzl1, depends on the guest you want to run
[02:17] <super-6-1> hello i have a wireless porblem can you please help?
[02:17] <lllllll> Right, this is quite bizarre now. Ubuntu 'sees' my uni network fine. Firefox connects fine. I can ping google etc. fine. Why won't anything *else* connect? I've set up "system>network proxy", the prefs in Synaptic (although I had to do those a little different as you can't put automatic configuration script URLs in there), and administration>network. I still can't get package lists from...
[02:17] <lllllll> ...Synaptic (won't connect), run GAIM (won't connect), or anything else. Firefox didn't work itself for a little while until I played with it and it randomly started connecting. All the way through, the network icon in the top right has been telling me nothing's amiss. It picks up DNS' fine.
[02:17] <soundray> Rechner-Tester: London (originally Nordhessen)
[02:17] <Gerro> Orfeous: yeah I got this script kind of long though, for how to get it working
[02:17] <gottatrieit> I'm fairly new to Linux so I take my time working through the command line stuff.
[02:17] <Orfeous> Gerro: tried envy... tried all different versions of drivers.. tried to play with xorg.conf.. tried installed some packages... etc.
[02:17] <cinvoke> im currently in the enlightenment , i want to install a different theme. I downloaded a few, and now i dont know how to install them, help please
[02:17] <scott___> Im using fiesty Live CD, and want to be able to save my settings and etc. when i restart, how can i do this
[02:18] <lllllll> I think I'm gonna post it in the forum
[02:18] <Gerro> Orfeous: all those don't work, I tried them too
[02:18] <Orfeous> Gerro: why have nvidia got so damn hard to get working.. just like ATI
[02:18] <Gerro> Orfeous: do /join #Gerro I'll post you the script
[02:18] <Gerro> Orfeous: nvidia is much easier than that ati crap
[02:18] <khermans_> scott___, backup your /etc and ~/ folders
[02:18] <soundray> lllllll: that's probably a good idea. Sorry we couldn't help.
[02:18] <Rechner-Tester> soundray Kassel? *g* I#m sitting in berlin, but original im from giessen!
[02:18] <Orfeous> Gerro: i have found it easier with ati :)
[02:19] <Orfeous> just compile some kernel stuff and patch it.. then woila :D
[02:19] <lllllll> don't worry. I'm pretty sure it's the complexities of my uni network. They're a bit suffocating with all the controls they put in
[02:19] <maeth> anybody knows about the bluetooth alsa proyect? that can help me
[02:19] <maeth> ive allready installed everything
[02:19] <soundray> Rechner-Tester: Oberaula
[02:19] <jonathan__> I'm in need of assistance w/ a LTSP setup and a content filter
[02:20] <scott___> can i save my etc and ~ dirs to a NTFS formated hard drive? and how to i reload them when i restart?
[02:20] <jonathan__> I've installed dansguardian but installing this package won't allow my thin clients (booting pxe) to get a dhcp address.
[02:20] <Rechner-Tester> soundray never heared before. Thx and g8
[02:21] <Wiseguy> hey guys, im trying to get my webcam working on my lappy, but for some reason dmesg doesnt show which device it is being assigned too... i can see it is recongized.. on my desktop it defaulted to /dev/video1, but doesnt seem like its the case on my laptop... can anyone give me any ideas where to look?
[02:21] <soundray> Rechner-Tester: bye
[02:21] <internetrr> omg srsly, how do i get snd 2 wrk w/ flash in ff, i need mah you tube!!!!
[02:21] <khermans_> scott___, yes but you must install ntfs-3g and remount the partition as such
[02:21] <gottatrieit> sleepwalker: Can I change the size of the terminal screen by using a command to change the size in pixes or whatever, like 600x800, etc.?
[02:21] <simon__> using the repository servers here in paraguay seems to be slower than using the german ones :D
[02:21] <khermans_> jonathan__, do you know about DRBL ?
[02:21] <scott___> hmm i cant remount the partition. i guess ill use a usb drive. how do i reload all the files when i restart then?
[02:21] <linuxnub> !ubutu webcam
[02:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ubutu webcam - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:22] <logmein> gottatrieit: why not click the full screen option or drag it larger?
[02:22] <khermans_> scott___, copy them over the old ones
[02:22] <logmein> gottatrieit: are you in text mode?
[02:22] <scott___> ok, and that will include everything?
[02:22] <logmein> gottatreit: if so then change your fonts
[02:22] <scott___> including all installed s/w ?
[02:23] <scott___> and drivers, etc. ?
[02:23] <maeth> anybody knows about the bluetooth alsa proyect? that can help me
[02:23] <jonathan__> no I havn't heard of that... is it a package?
[02:23] <gottatrieit> Don't think I can. Yes,log mein , i guess that's what i'm in, I didn't know what to call it. There is absolutely no gui, no mouse usage, etc.
[02:23] <loquitus_of_borg> Hey people. I just installed Apache2 through the synaptics manager, along with PHP5. Why is it that when I try to access a php file thorugh my browser, it tries to download the php script instead of executing it?
[02:23] <khermans_> scott___, the LiveCD is the same as the installer -- it includes the same packages
[02:24] <gottatrieit> Straight text command entry, logmein.
[02:24] <khermans_> loquitus_of_borg, sudo aptitude install libapache2-mod-php5
[02:24] <khermans_> loquitus_of_borg, then enable the php module in the conf file
[02:24] <gottatrieit> user@ubuntu:$ is all that shows on screen, logmein.
[02:25] <kadaz> Majik you here?

[02:25] <TeslaDave> Have some questions with regards to running virtual machines on ubuntu, is vmware good etc and if so what version / type of vmware do i want to use?
[02:25] <loquitus_of_borg> khermans: and where is the conf file? the conf file in /etc/apache2 has 5 lines in it... all commented out
[02:25] <khermans_> TeslaDave, use ubuntu server -- its free
[02:25] <gottatrieit> I'm on my Feisty machine now and using Xchat and it's interface.
[02:25] <kadaz> Iam having boot problems via grub mbr
[02:26] <TeslaDave> khermans ubuntu server runs virtual machines
[02:26] <Jordan_U> TeslaDave, If you want to use vmware use vmware-server from the ubuntu-commercial repository
[02:26] <gottatrieit> logmein: Can the text screen be resized?
[02:27] <Jordan_U> kadaz, Did GRUB get overwritten by windows?
[02:27] <TeslaDave> Jordan_U is that one of the free ones, i'm lloking to be able to run solaris and other os's in ubuntu
[02:27] <kadaz> Iam having boot problems via grub mbr, Iam using supergrub, but no success expect for direct boot via supergrub. On boot up I get an error 15 "file not found"
[02:27] <kadaz> I already used update-grub, but still same error
[02:27] <Jordan_U> TeslaDave, Yes, it requires a serial number but you can get a serial number for free from vmware
[02:28] <khermans_> loquitus_of_borg, http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu704_p6
[02:28] <kadaz> no jordan_u
[02:28] <loquitus_of_borg> khermans: thanks alot. it worked perfectly
[02:28] <kadaz> I enabled ntfs option +rw and it messed the grub mbr
[02:29] <Jordan_U> kadaz, Enabling NTFS rw support should not effect the mbr, how did you enable it?
[02:29] <kadaz> via 3g?
[02:29] <gottatrieit> sleepwalker and logmein: Thanks for the help. I will try them out. I have to leave for a bit, prior commitment. ty
[02:29] <khermans_> kadaz, no not just rw
[02:29] <khermans_> kadaz, type is not ntfs but ntfs-3g
[02:30] <kadaz> thats what i meant
[02:30] <Jordan_U> kadaz, Can you pastbin your /boot/grub/menu.lst ?
[02:30] <kadaz> k
[02:30] <kadaz> how?
[02:30] <kadaz> one on the ph
[02:30] <kadaz> one sec on ph
[02:31] <khermans_> kadaz, sudo aptitude install ntfs-3g, then edit /etc/fstab
[02:31] <Jordan_U> kadaz, khermans_ He is having a problem with GRUB not ntfs-3g, he just thinks that enabling rw support caused his grub problems

[02:36] <reya276> trying to install a game called Vendetta online
[02:37] <Ezep> hey, it's best go from dapper to feisty or begin in dapper?
[02:37] <reya276> why is that a bad thing to do?
[02:37] <rouslan> Ezep: You need to upgrade Edgy first.
[02:37] <khermans_> fogwar, 6.06.1 for stability, 7.04 for feature
[02:37] <dedi> how can i list all running processes?
[02:37] <rouslan> Ezep: I tried, it corrupted the whole OS.
[02:37] <khermans_> reya276, with wine?
[02:37] <TeslaDave> Jordan_U thank you for your help
[02:37] <reya276> no is a linux file
[02:38] <skel> anyone know of a pidgin backport or repo for feisty?
[02:38] <khermans_> dedi, ps aux
[02:38] <Jordan_U> reya276, Applications installed withought the package manager cannot be handled by the package manager
[02:38] <rouslan> Ezep: Upgrading to any new version is not guaranteed.
[02:38] <reya276> or is the version of linux
[02:38] <Ezep> rouslan, oh thanks a lot, cause i have upgrade direct and i had errors
[02:38] <dedi> khermans_: that was it, thanks :)
[02:38] <Jordan_U> skel, There is a .deb for it at getdeb
[02:38] <reya276> ok
[02:38] <khermans_> skel, no but you can compile from source
[02:38] <Ezep> rouslan, so, i must begin in dapper?
[02:38] <Shaba1> any suggestions on teh pcum thing
[02:38] <borg7_> khermans_ do you suggest that package for my LTSP setup?
[02:38] <reya276> so meaning I won't be able to uninstall it
[02:38] <rouslan> Ezep: np, Just backup all of your data because it might screw your whole system up...
[02:39] <skel> Jordan_U: I'll search for it thanks. =]
[02:39] <khermans_> borg7_, unsure, but Ubuntu Christian Edition used dansguardian i think
[02:39] <rouslan> Ezep: What do you mean, "begin in dapper"?
[02:39] <rouslan> Ezep: Have you already installed Dapper?
[02:39] <Ezep> rouslan, still be in dapper
[02:39] <reya276> can I get that game through the package manager
[02:39] <skel> khermans_: I'll check get debs first, I like to try and keep everything installed as a package if possible

[02:39] <ubotu> subversion: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[02:39] <Ezep> rouslan, yeah
[02:39] <attic_storm> Has anyone had any experience changing the send to right slick Ubuntu option to Thunderbird and not Evolution?  I changed the preferred settings, but it still tries to open Evolution.  Also, looked in the GNOME Conf Editor with no luck.
[02:39] <borg7_> khermans_ yes ubuntu ce does use it but as I stated it kills my dhcp server on my 2nd nic
[02:39] <skel> khermans_: feels cleaner =P
[02:39] <Ezep> rouslan, it's a server(text) install
[02:39] <linuxnub> !ubotu subversion
[02:39] <ubotu> subversion is an open source application used for revision control. It is sometimes abbreviated to svn in reference to the name of its command line interface. Look here for a Subversion How To on Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Subversion
[02:39] <Shaba1> sorry pcucia thing iw what I emant
[02:39] <Shaba1> damn
[02:39] <attic_storm> Sorry not "right slick" but "right click".
[02:39] <khermans_> skel, you can use checkinstall to make a deb so you can easily remove it
[02:40] <Shaba1> pcmcia wireless card recognition
[02:40] <rouslan> Ezep: I'm not familiar with txt-based, but you go Dapper->Edgy->Feisty and hopefully it will upgrade with no errors.
[02:40] <khermans_> skel, sudo aptitude install checkinstall, .cd pidgin, /configure, make, sudo checkinstall make install
[02:40] <skel> khermans_: ah cool, thats good to know, is that typically a configure option?
[02:40] <Ezep> rouslan, thanks i will
[02:40] <rouslan> np

[02:40] <raulh> how do i find out witch version of ubuntu i have? can anyone help? thanks
[02:41] <fireblast_real> hi there!
[02:41] <khermans_> borg7_, check you DHCP logs
[02:41] <fireblast_real> Where do we fill bug reports?
[02:41] <gnomefreak> khermans_: only need to run either make install or checkinstall no need to run both
[02:41] <borg7_> raulh type uname -r in a terminal
[02:41] <rouslan> raulh: Click on System, and "about ubuntu" on the top panel.
[02:41] <cinvoke> how do i install a theme?
[02:41] <pike_> raulh: lsb_release
[02:41] <gnomefreak> !bugs > fireblast_real  (see your pm from ubotu)
[02:41] <fireblast_real> ok thank you
[02:41] <borg7_> khermans_ anything particular I should look for in those logs?
[02:41] <khermans_> rauble, cat /etc/lsb-release
[02:41] <fireblast_real> I'm gonna send a bug report for gnome xchat
[02:41] <gnomefreak> cinvoke: drag and drop it in the theme config window
[02:41] <rouslan> cinvoke: I recommend beryl+emerald themes, but you do it in System-Preferences.
[02:41] <Terzo> I was trying to get my 1440x900 resolution to show up in screen resolutions using dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but when I get to the part about selecting monitor resolution, I can't select 1400x900...when I press enter, it just skips to the next page; how do i select the resolution?
[02:42] <khermans_> fireblast_real, launchpad
[02:42] <HP_Administrator> i ahve a problem, but it's kind of a long story, so i'm jsut going to start typing, anyone free?
[02:42] <Jordan_U> Terzo, Use the space bar
[02:42] <cinvoke> thanks for help gnomefreak and rouslan
[02:42] <attic_storm> Sorry guys have to go will ask again later.  Have a great nigh and end of the Lords day.
[02:42] <HP_Administrator> z
[02:42] <raulh> ok if anyone could help me out on finding out witch verison of ubuntu im runing on can you please whisper to much text in one channel = me confused
[02:42] <Tom47> HP_Administrator: why not put t up in ubuntu forums or paste and let folk look at it there
[02:42] <rouslan> cinvoke: The regular themes are nothing compared to beryl and emerald themes.
[02:42] <kadaz> jordan_u how to pastebin?
[02:42] <Pelo> Terzo, once you'Ve finihe with the xserver reconfigure,   go and edit xorg.conf manualy and add the extra resolutions you need
[02:42] <aroo> Does GNOME have any cpu temperature monitoring apps/applets?
[02:42] <Jordan_U> !paste | kadaz
[02:43] <ubotu> kadaz: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[02:43] <khermans_> borg7_, probably a reason why dhcpd is erroring out
[02:43] <HP_Administrator> alrighty, isn';t this channel for help to though?
[02:43] <rouslan> cinvoke: You should check them out. They were much better than the basic Ubuntu ones.
[02:43] <HP_Administrator> too*
[02:43] <borg7_> aroo superkaramba is awesome for KDE
[02:43] <Pelo> aroo, yes it does check here for how to enable sensors and stuff   http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty
[02:43] <gnomefreak> HP_Administrator: ask your question please
[02:43] <borg7_> thanks khermans_
[02:43] <Tom47> HP_Administrator: yes but not a great place o put long stories and choke up help others are getting
[02:43] <khermans_> aroo, yeah cpu frequency applet

[02:44] <fogwar> hey anyone... which ubuntu is more recommended, the 6lts or 7
[02:44] <rapid> whats the opensshd package called?
[02:44] <liquiddoom> fogwar: Depends on what you need
[02:45] <khermans_> gnomefreak, no you need to pass make install to checkinstall as options
[02:45] <khermans_> checkinstall -D make install
[02:45] <cinvoke> rouslan: i downloaded aphex, cronos, cyrus, shade,ethech_hydro, and many others
[02:45] <AnRkey> hi al
[02:45] <AnRkey> all
[02:45] <gnomefreak> fogwar: is it for personal use?
[02:45] <raulh> can anyone help me download sun java for ubuntu linux? theres a problem my CD i used is a bit old and i don't know my verison of ubuntu if anyone could help me find out witch version im on itll be great please private message me.
[02:45] <Pelo> fogwar, 7.04 is the current release go for that
[02:45] <AnRkey>  :d
[02:45] <reya276> so is that a no on the .sh install?
[02:45] <rapid> or in other words can someone tell me how to install sshd
[02:45] <khermans_> rapid, openssh-server
[02:45] <Shaba1> hello any suggestions
[02:45] <fogwar> liquiddoom: yes, personal, but what am i losing by not choosing one or other?
[02:45] <rapid> thanks
[02:45] <AnRkey> does anyone know why Ubuntu uses dash instead of bash?
[02:45] <Shaba1> any advise on how I get it to recognize the pcmcia wireless card in it?
[02:45] <rapid> khermans_ merci
[02:45] <chamunks> bruenig, on second hand do you happen to know how to assign dual ownership and leave the group and everyone else alone??
[02:45] <cinvoke> rouslan: but they are zipped, so after i decompress, im not sure what to do with them
[02:45] <PriceChild> raulh, did you not read the link ubotu gave you?
[02:45] <khermans_> rapid, you can find the package name any binary is in by searching packages.ubuntu.com
[02:45] <rookiehwm> fogwar, just go with 7.04, it's purty.
[02:46] <Pelo> fogwar, unlike windows ubuntu has a new and improved release every 6 months,  hence the multiple versions available
[02:46] <liquiddoom> fogwar: Really, the newer version is better
[02:46] <chamunks> bruenig, or add two groups to access the same section of files
[02:46] <fogwar> liquiddoom: badass... i figured it was common sense, but ya nevr kno
[02:46] <raulh> yes im on it it dosnt tell me what version of ubuntu i have, so therefor i cant download a verision of sunjava sorry if im being a total idiot by missing something
[02:46] <gnomefreak> khermans_: checkinstall does everything for you except install the .deb use the -d or -D options (cant rmeember what one it is) or use dpkg -i but by running both the last one overwrites things that the first one set
[02:46] <liquiddoom> fogwar: 7.04 is just so much nicer and easier to use
[02:46] <Jordan_U> reya276, If that is the only thing available then cd to the directory it is in in the terminal and run ./whatever.sh
[02:47] <kadaz> Jordan_U did you get my pastebin?
[02:47] <gnomefreak> raulh: lsb_release -a in terminal will tell you
[02:47] <khermans_> gnomefreak, yes i already know this and my command reflected the correct installation method, it did not suggest to make install twice
[02:47] <Jordan_U> kadaz, Yes
[02:47] <reya276> yeah but that is the issue I'm trying to do that but it says "Can't open ./vendetta-linux-x-installer.sh"
[02:47] <kadaz> whenever your read
[02:47] <kadaz> k
[02:47] <raulh> umm how do i do that lol im new to irc
[02:47] <Pelo> raulh,menu > system > admin > syatem monitor  first tab
[02:47] <raulh> thank you all
[02:47] <reya276> right now the file is in my home directory
[02:48] <Pelo> reya276, sudo chmod 755  /path/file
[02:49] <raulh> Pelo: first tab is proccesses =0?
[02:49] <gnomefreak> khermans_: my point == make install will overwrite files that were made/changed when using checkinstall. if the user needs those files unchanged running make install isnt good since it starts from hte begiining (the time you ran checkinstall)
[02:49] <minerale> How do I get the windows codecs?
[02:49] <lek> question booting up ubuntu, ubuntu will leave the bootscreen and comes into the text-boot-menu in the root prompt. I have to exit that to further load ubuntu. How do I avoid that and boot up in one go?
[02:50] <Jordan_U> !w32codecs | minerale
[02:50] <ubotu> minerale: Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages, including the win32 codecs: see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - See also !Codecs
[02:50] <khermans_> gnomefreak, i dont understand what your point is -- "make install" are arguments to checkinstall
[02:50] <gnomefreak> !w32codecs | minerale
[02:50] <Pelo> raulh,  then you do not have fiesty taht is for sure , I'm not quite sure how to get your the version on prior ones
[02:50] <khermans_> gnomefreak, they are not to be run separately
[02:50] <cinvoke> gnomefreak: i decompressed one of the themes, and now i have a bunch of files.  im not sure what to drag into theme config,
[02:50] <khermans_> gnomefreak, the correct command is "checkinstall -D make install"
[02:50] <gnomefreak> khermans_: no its not there are options. running make install seperately from checkinstall should ask you the same questions over again
[02:50] <raulh> oo lol im d00000mmmmmeddd
[02:51] <raulh> i think its i386 not sure
[02:51] <Jordan_U> cinvoke, Drag the *compressed* file into the preferences
[02:51] <Pelo> raulh, you are not doomed,
[02:51] <reya276> nope is says cannot access the file
[02:51] <Pelo> raulh,  what does uname -r tell you ?
[02:51] <khermans_> gnomefreak, so you must have misread my command then, check your IRC terminal
[02:51] <reya276> sudo chmod 755 ./vendetta-linux-x-installer.sh
[02:51] <raulh> my what? sorry i don't know this irc server commands
[02:51] <raulh> im used to Mirc windows irc client lol
[02:51] <khermans_> gnomefreak, my installation method was correct
[02:52] <Pelo> raulh,   not a irc command,   open the ubuntu terminal and type  uname -r
[02:52] <khermans_> raulh, you can find many xchat howto's online
[02:52] <gnomefreak> khermans_: checking on the make install parameter since i dont remember it being there. in edgy
[02:52] <raulh> witch terminal sorry haha
[02:52] <raulh> ooh im using Gaim =p
[02:52] <khermans_> gnomefreak, it is definitely htere
[02:52] <khermans_> gnomefreak, here is a reference for you
[02:52] <khermans_> http://www.falkotimme.com/howtos/checkinstall/index.php
[02:52] <Pelo> raulh, menu > applications > accessories > terminal
[02:52] <LjL> AnRkey: it only uses it for scripts, the user shell is still bash. it does because it's faster.
[02:52] <Fathefner> Hello I need an ATI Radeon 9200PRO driver
[02:52] <khermans_> gnomefreak, and yes, it also existed in edgy
[02:53] <gnomefreak> khermans_: please read the help page the -D is to make a debian package
[02:53] <Stoffer> so...I went to System -> Admisintration -> windows wireless drivers, and tried to install a windows driver for my wireless card.  But after I selected the .inf and hit install, nothing showed up in the box to the left.... anyone here that could troubleshoot that with me?
[02:53] <rogue780|mythsrv> when I try to use gcc I get the following error: "gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory" can someone help me please?
[02:53] <gnomefreak> khermans_: no other parameters needed
[02:53] <khermans_> gnomefreak, yes it is
[02:53] <Pelo> raulh, do you still have the cd you used to install ubuntu with ?
[02:53] <cinvoke> list
[02:53] <raulh> pelo it says 2.6.17-10-generic
[02:53] <raulh> oh i downloaded it Pelo off the site
[02:53] <raulh> a while back
[02:53] <rogue780|mythsrv> is there something special I need to do to compile c++ code with gcc?
[02:53] <AnRkey> LjL how compatible is it with bash?
[02:53] <raulh> good long while
[02:54] <Jordan_U> kadaz, Are you booted into Ubuntu right now?
[02:54] <cinvoke> i was told to drag a compressed  to preferences, but not sure what preferences
[02:54] <Paddy_EIRE> !vista
[02:54] <kadaz> yes
[02:54] <LjL> AnRkey: it respects the POSIX specs, but it doesn't implement most bashisms.
[02:54] <ubotu> vista is the new operating system by the evil overlords from Redmond. For more information, see http://www.badvista.org
[02:54] <LjL> !dash | AnRkey
[02:54] <ubotu> AnRkey: /bin/sh links to the DASH shell in Ubuntu Edgy (6.10). Since DASH is not 100% compatible with the BASH shell, some scripts might break. You can make scripts execute using BASH by changing the first line of the script to  #! /bin/bash
[02:54] <Pelo> raulh,  putting the cd in will mount it to your dsktop and you can read the name of the version in the name of the cd ,  but I can tell from your kernel that you are running   Edgy  6.10
[02:54] <Paddy_EIRE> !grub | Paddy_EIRE
[02:54] <kadaz> Jordan_U yes I booted using supergrub
[02:55] <khermans_> gnomefreak, are you sure "make install" does not also install the DEB?
[02:55] <Terzo> after I've edited screen resolution with xorg.conf, will I need to restart to make the new resolutions available?
[02:55] <Pelo> raulh, I donT' take private msg please talk to me in the main channel
[02:55] <Jordan_U> kadaz, Ok, run "sudo grub" from a terminal
[02:55] <raulh>  Edgy  6.10 so i should look for a sun java for edgy?
[02:55] <kadaz> ok
[02:55] <kadaz> k
[02:55] <Jordan_U> kadaz, Do you have just one drive and is Ubuntu on the first partition?
[02:55] <Pelo> Terzo,  you'll need to restart X at least   ctrl alt backspace
[02:55] <Pelo> raulh,  yes
[02:55] <raulh> ok thank you so much!
[02:55] <gnomefreak> khermans_: i didnt say that what i said is its not needed and no i dont believe it does. makeinstall doesnt make a deb it just installs package. read checkinstall --help
[02:55] <Jordan_U> !java | raulh
[02:55] <ubotu> raulh: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[02:55] <AnRkey> LjL, I think that in my case the easiest way to fix my problems is to change the path at the top of each of my scripts to use bash
[02:56] <Fathefner> Hello I need an ATI Radeon 9200PRO driver
[02:56] <kadaz> one hard drive three linux partitions

Network Manager (?) says eth0 is connected, but all I can do is ping loopback. The host computer has full connectivity through a normal ethernet/router connection. What should be my next troubleshooting step? Thanks.
[03:00] <eh> Oh my, im only new to linux
[03:00] <Jordan_U> gnomefreak, What does safe mode do exactly?
[03:00] <minerale> I think someone has removed a section from this wiki, could someone please add windows codecs from this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/StreamingVideo#w32codecs

[03:07] <bruenig> PanzerMKZ, no
[03:07] <PanzerMKZ> or do you have to upgrade to 6.10
[03:08] <eh> what the?
[03:08] <liquiddoom> PanzerMKZ: You have to go in order
[03:08] <kadaz> Jordon_U waiting at grub prompt

[03:08] <eh> who looked at link?

[03:08] <eh> who got movies working?
[03:08] <jackthehomeless> Hello, I cannot get my microphone to work in ubuntu feisty. Anyone know of any tools or anything i could use to troubleshoot it? I need it working asap.

[03:09] <Fathefner> well how to i get my restricted driver manager to have the option to install the ATIdriver
[03:09] <eh> jackthehomeless: try the rear pink input instead of the front.
[03:09] <Jordan_U> Fathefner, Just use these instructions, they do the same thing, just more steps
[03:09] <Jordan_U> !ati | Fathefner
[03:10] <Fathefner> Jordan_U
[03:10] <jackthehomeless> eh,  thats what im using, its still not working
[03:10] <nils_> Jordan: Oh boy. If I understand, that means I have to download an archived copy of VM Workstation, extract vmware-tools from it, mount them in VM Player, disable IPv6 temporarily, install them, reboot, and reenable IPv6 again. Wow. Well, I'll give it a go. Thanks!
[03:10] <Fathefner> Jordan_U, its a pain in the butt to do it the other way
[03:10] <ubotu> Fathefner: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:10] <jackthehomeless> eh,  when i use sound recorder it just plays static and none of the sound comes through
[03:10] <raulh> ok, i took some milk of magnisia pain starting to go away.

[03:11] <jackthehomeless> eh,  any other ideas? i really need it working.
[03:11] <eh> click on the speaker icon
[03:11] <jackthehomeless> eh,  gotcha
[03:11] <brian1> random question, but did anybody actually why the dell unbuntu?
[03:11] <eh> right click on it
[03:11] <jackthehomeless> brian1, actually, i havent but theres an article on digg written by someone whow did
[03:11] <eh> open volume control
[03:11] <jackthehomeless> eh,  ok
[03:11] <Jordan_U> eh, https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html#id2542844
[03:12] <non|linear> i installed wmp7 and wmp9 in crossover, the sound in wmp7 (and all my other media players) is fine, but the sound in wmp9 has intermittent scratches... installed the latest wmp plugins, could this be an alsa setting or something?
[03:12] <brian1> alright, thanks for the info
[03:12] <eh> unmute front mic and turn it up
[03:12] <Jordan_U> brian1, I am going to today
[03:12] <eh> thx jordan
[03:13] <jackthehomeless> eh, dont have that option actually. just have 3 tabs, playback, recording, options, options is where i choose front or rear
[03:13] <raulh> hey, jordan?
[03:13] <jackthehomeless> eh,  or... line and front
[03:13] <raulh> what did you say i have to activate?
[03:13] <Jordan_U> non|linear, I am willing to bet that it is a crossover problem, you can play all windows media formats natively as long as they aren't DRM'd
[03:13] <brian1> i think the prices are a bit high since its a free OS
[03:13] <agn0stic> ls
[03:13] <agn0stic> ooops
[03:14] <eh> jackthehomeless:
[03:14] <eh> ok
[03:14] <eh> click
[03:14] <jackthehomeless> eh,  under the recording tab all i have is capture and mux, and if i mute one or the other it says my recording settings are invalid in sound recorder
[03:14] <non|linear> Jordan_U: Ok, can you exlain a bit more?  not sure what DRM is or why wmp7 and 9 are diferent.  the only reason i want to use wmp is because of the wow effects etc.
[03:14] <eh> click edit
[03:14] <cinvoke> jordan_u, isnt there a command to unzip, and leave as a .tar   ?????
[03:14] <jackthehomeless> eh,  gotcha

[03:15] <eh> put a check in microphone
[03:15] <Jordan_U> raulh, Do you have the multiverse repository enabled in System -> Administration -> Software Sources ?
[03:15] <Jordan_U> brian1, It's $50 - $100 cheaper than the same model with Vista
[03:15] <eh> front mic and microhone

[03:16] <eh> im a noob though
[03:16] <jackthehomeless> eh, yeah, i get alsa, and oss
[03:16] <Waddledee> Hello there!  I'm having trouble updating to the latest kernel, along with a lot of other people.  Thing is, it sounds like different people are having different problems, and I don't even know what my problem is.  How can I find out?
[03:16] <eh> what are you currently on?
[03:16] <jackthehomeless> eh, cant use oss though as that only permits one source of sound at a time, i need multiple going
[03:17] <raulh> does anyone know if you still need a SHELL for irc "SERVERS" when on linux OS ?
[03:17] <jackthehomeless> eh,  im on alsa
[03:17] <eh> open a terminal and click alsmixer

[03:18] <codecaine> how can I get my usb hds that auto mount ntfs to auto mount ntfs-3g?
[03:18] <Waddledee> What I do know is that, when I try booting in the latest kernel, the orange bar appears, grows to about 1/8 of its total size, and then just... stops.
[03:18] <eh> why isn't there no mic?
[03:19] <jackthehomeless>  eh, dont hav ea clue man, none at all

[03:19] <jackthehomeless> eh,  i know, all the tuts on the web say the same thing, yet i dont

[03:19] <thomas_> hey, has anyone had poblems installing ubuntu server??? when i try to install, it dies during the "gathering information for installation report" step
[03:19] <thomas_> is there a way to skip it

[03:20] <eh> try the other one
[03:20] <Jordan_U> raulh, They are packages you can install with synaptic, look at this howto for how to install applications in Ubuntu:
[03:20] <cinvoke> jordan_u, isnt there a command to unzip, but leave a file as a tar file???
[03:20] <Jordan_U> !synaptic | raulh
[03:20] <raulh> theres no link jordan
[03:20] <ubotu> raulh: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[03:20] <raulh> ok ty
[03:20] <jackthehomeless> eh,  i did multiple times today, neither work.  I don't know how to install themes in fluxbox, I thought you were using Gnome.
[03:21] <eh> can someone help johnthehomeless with his microhpone probs?
[03:21] <jackthehomeless> eh,  ok cool, give it a shot.
[03:21] <kadaz> which program do I use to connect to vnc server?
[03:21] <cinvoke> jordan_u, isnt there a command to unzip, but leave a file as a tar file???
[03:21] <thomas_> what is teh problem?
[03:21] <cinvoke> jordan_u,  im using gnome right now
[03:22] <eh> he cant get his mic working
[03:22] <thomas_> hmm
[03:22] <jackthehomeless> Yeah, if anyone can give me a hand it would be greatly appreciated. I really need my mic to work and no tuto or anything i have will get it to work.
[03:22] <thomas_> sound card driver? for linux
[03:22] <thomas_> look under legacy drivers
[03:22] <eh> Im off too get high on medication.
[03:22] <jackthehomeless> thomas_,  im using alsa using an integrated intel sound card
[03:22] <Jordan_U> cinvoke, You can't use Fluxbox themes in Gnome
[03:22] <thomas_> ..
[03:22] <thomas_> oh
[03:22] <thomas_> hmm
[03:22] <thomas_> thats a though one
[03:22] <cinvoke> jordan_u,  i know
[03:22] <thomas_> but what about ubuntu server?
[03:23] <Kazuma> I am installing Java, and have gotten to an OK screen in terminal
[03:23] <raulh> ok thank you jordan. bye
[03:23] <Kazuma> and have no way to click it that i know of
[03:23] <doseryder> I would like to learn how to access network resources in the terminal. For example, in gdm I can simply access a windows network by typing smb://my-laptop in the address bar.  How can I do it in the terminal?
[03:23] <jackthehomeless> thomas_,  well heres another choice, i have a sound blaster audigy card laying around, if i throw that in how do i reconfigure alsa
[03:23] <Jordan_U> cinvoke, Is this a Gnome theme?
[03:23] <cinvoke> jordan_u, isnt there a command to unzip, but leave a file as a tar file???
[03:23] <thomas_> hmm,
[03:24] <Jordan_U> cinvoke, "unzip" should do it, but what will that accomplish?
[03:24] <thomas_> what about the propertise menu? (sry im currently on a windows machine, trying to get ubuntu server to work:S)
[03:24] <theshadow> how can I check the hard drive usage stats?
[03:24] <thomas_> if u can find a linux driver for that card, then u whouls be good
[03:24] <Pelo> theshadow, fourth tab of the system monitor
[03:24] <Waddledee> Pelo: same reason it takes a lot less time to copy the information off a CD than it does to burn one.  Changing data requires a different physical process.
[03:24] <theshadow> Pelo: from the command line?
[03:25] <jackthehomeless> thomas_,  already checked and i have no option on there for microphone, and its annoying. How would i go about getting that driver
[03:25] <cinvoke> jordan_u, that way i could atleast drag the themes in the theme manager,correct?
[03:25] <getisboy> hi. file sharing works fine through another ubuntu box, but i'm having problems accessing it through a windows computer. can anyone help?
[03:25] <tripppy> what burning app is closest to nero?
[03:25] <Jordan_U> cinvoke, No, because it's not a theme made for Gnome
[03:25] <Paddy_EIRE> hey guys im running of a feisty live cd and i am trying to resize my ubuntu install "/" partition to 52gb and leave 20 gb free for vista and a couple of games :) . Although I seem to be getting this error "check filesystem on /dev/sda1 for errors and (if possible) fix them" my ubuntu install and it says "e2fsck: Cannot continue, aborting."
[03:25] <w1ls0n_> Is there a more convenient way of switching color depths than editing xorg.conf and restarting X?
[03:25] <Kazuma> I have installed Java and come to the "Package Configuration" screen ... down at the bottom it shows "OK" ... but I dont know how to click it or anything ... what do i do?
[03:25] <jramsey> i've installed the minicom pkg; where does it appear in the gnome app list? not under applications ... at least i don't see it
