[07:16] <calamari> nalioth: oic.. so it isn't actually doing anything?  it just reports what the kernel is doing?
[07:16] <nalioth> calamari: one you configure your iptables, they are configured
[07:16] <passion> nothing it bypass's to the xp system
[07:16] <delire> mvhenten: follow those steps exactly, or else you'll surely make a mess. secondly, ensure that any previous installations of Nvidia drivers etc (if you are swapping cards) are completely removed.
[07:17] <Blejdfist> i don't understand what you mean
[07:17] <bam_> does anyone know how to stop mounting a drive at 8 different mount points?
[07:17] <passion> even added a linux partition using pqmagic in dos
[07:17] <delire> bam_ not sure i understand. are these mountpoints reflected in /etc/fstab?
[07:17] <bam_> no
[07:17] <mvhenten> delire, I'll have a look - no nvdia but ati eh - I already did a custom install of the source package ( compiled the drivers)
[07:17] <bam_> its considered a usb hdd
[07:18] <delire> bam_ type 'mount' are there really 8 mountpoints?
[07:18] <bam_> yup
[07:18] <Blejdfist> passion: are you sure you burned the ISO correctly.. that is, not putting the ISO on the disc but actually burning the ISO Image (follow the guide i gave you)
[07:18] <calamari> nalioth: so if I do want it to run anyways, do I need to setuid root?
[07:18] <Blejdfist> passion: also check that your BIOS is configured to boot from CD-ROM
[07:18] <xophEr> how can I change the gnome-panel 'ubuntu icon' ? (breezy) I tried renaming the /usr/share/pixmaps/gnome-icon-logo-transparent.png but with no effect. Worked before though..
[07:18] <delire> mvhenten: this is the way i do it also, so you only want features et al now? why not use 'fglrxconfig'
[07:19] <Dr_Willis> fglrxconfig - makes some very poor x config files from what ive seen
[07:19] <delire> bam_ who mounted these?
[07:19] <Dr_Willis> they tend to skip some little parts/tweaks/changes
[07:19] <passion> i did followed instructions from many sites but the ntfs format does'nt want to recognize or open it
[07:19] <Seveas> xophEr, remove /usr/share/icons/hicolor/gnome-theme.cache
[07:19] <Seveas> icon0theme.csache*
[07:19] <Seveas> icon-theme.cache*
[07:19] <Seveas> (damn I need coffee)
[07:19] <delire> Dr_Willis: fine here, i just use the relevant parts and paste it into my /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:20] <xophEr> Seveas, allright thanks :)
[07:20] <bam_> i suppose there is some script automounting these
[07:20] <delire> bam_ it sounds like it.
[07:20] <bam_> but where?
[07:20] <delire> bam_ what is the drive being used for?
[07:20] <GrooMan> I already have installed ubuntu Breezy Badger in my notebook, I just finished installing it in a old computer I have. The problem is that when it was supposed to enter the login screen, it just turns off the screen and does nothing. Can anybody help??
[07:20] <Dr_Willis> delire,  yea.. but all ive ever had to do to the original ubuntu made x org config . was change 'ati' to 'fglrx'  under the Driver section.
[07:20] <joe_> how do i install s=codecs?
[07:20] <mouhez> does the 64-bit edition run 32-bit software slower than the 32-bit edition?
[07:20] <bam_> just a usb hdd
[07:21] <bam_> actually a zaurus
[07:21] <bam_> but it presents itself as a usbhdd
[07:21] <xophEr> Seveas, there is no icon-theme.cache in there
[07:21] <passion> i downloaded the vmware 5.5 which allows u to run multiple systems at same time it installed fine but lags some want to try it as one system
[07:22] <djm62> GrooMan: it sounds like you haven't got X configured right
[07:22] <delire> Dr_Willis: of course, but that doesn't give you options like  "TVStandard" "NTSC-M"
[07:22] <djm62> GrooMan: can you get into a console with ctrl-alt-f1 ?
[07:22] <GrooMan> yep
[07:23] <Dr_Willis> delire,  never needed them :P
[07:23] <djm62> GrooMan: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg would be a good first try then
[07:23] <calamari> weird.. the new version of firefox changes my mouse pointer to the default ugly one
[07:23] <delire> Dr_Willis: fair enough, as a graphics programmer i take interest in such things ;)
[07:23] <Dr_Willis> delire,  i just play games.  well mame.
[07:24] <Dr_Willis> i still find the whole way the x config files are set up to be a little  awkward..
[07:24] <thompa> just did update in breezy. no sound in bzflag now
[07:24] <Dr_Willis> lovely when your x fails to start when ya make a typo changeing your mouse to use 5 buttons. :P
[07:24] <joe_> anyone know how to install codecs?
[07:24] <GrooMan> it tells that xserver-xorg isn't installed?
[07:24] <thompa> whats the mixer application?
[07:24] <lavieboheme> I'm using the LiveCD version of Ubuntu. I'm not hearing any sound, even when I use the CD Player app. I already checked the cables, etc. Could someone help me?
[07:25] <uojo> sort -n fichero me ordena numericamente un fichero pero si yo quiero decirle un campo como lo hago?
[07:25] <delire> Dr_Willis  great, it's been years since i've looked at them. do you have a good site for resourcing mame games?
[07:25] <passion> http://practice.chatserve.com is a chat server and webserver together must d/l both i'm looking to host but can't seem to create the files and connect thier linux based
[07:25] <nalioth> !es

[07:25] <GrooMan> wait, it had a typo, sorry
[07:25] <seife> How do i install my HP ScanJet 3200c in linux? I have it installed on windows, i had to download a hp control software.
[07:26] <thompa> lavieboheme: is it breezy?

[07:26] <slew> hi. i really need to move files from ubuntu to a windows directory, but it says i dont have permission. i also cant log in as root to do these things. how do i make it so i can move files from one os to another?
[07:26] <Dr_Willis> w32codecs - i grabbed from   http://www.giannaros.org/tor/bt/
[07:26] <lavieboheme> thompa: what do you mean, "breezy"?
[07:26] <nalioth> slew: permissions are everything
[07:26] <thompa> what version of ubuntu?
[07:26] <nalioth> Dr_Willis: there is a !w32codecs trigger that covers hoary and breezy
[07:26] <Dr_Willis> slew,  is it a mounted ntfs partition? or are you refering to a network-share ?
[07:26] <lavieboheme> 5.04 for intel x86
[07:26] <Dr_Willis> nalioth,  about time :P lol
[07:27] <slew> mounted w32 partition
[07:27] <Dr_Willis> nalioth,  sort of odd that ya need 2packages differnet to just copy over a bunch of dll's
[07:27] <Belutz> ubotu, tell slew about windowsdrives
[07:27] <Dr_Willis> or thats all it seemed to be in the packages when i lookd at them
[07:27] <delire> hehe i like this in the above site posted by Dr_Willis "It looks like you're not running Windows or MacOS. If that's true, then you can probably figure out how to install BitTorrent on your platform."
[07:27] <nalioth> Dr_Willis: i didnt make em, i just advise em
[07:28] <Dr_Willis> delire,  lol. i dont see that.

[07:31] <lavieboheme> thompa: it has tabs saying "general" "sound events" and "system bell"
[07:32] <lavieboheme> thompa: no, it doesn't say that
[07:32] <thompa> lavieboheme:  in general is there nothing under default sound card?
[07:32] <lavieboheme> i don't see anything that says "default sound card"
[07:33] <squid0> then just a screen full of exclamation marks. so i rebooted, and now as soon as it boots it makes a series of beeps, and then nothing. screen stays blank.

[07:35] <LionRock> Skapare,  so in mods-enabled directory I must have cgi.load ? right ?
[07:35] <iafd> carlson, search for ubuntu backports, add one of the mirrors to your repositores in synaptic, then search for firefox, install?
[07:36] <carlson> nalioth, sorry man, i am old to mirc, but i dont use it since 2000 lol, i forgot the good manners
[07:36] <zburns> Anybody help me install breezy on a laptop with intermittent working cd drive? (can I install via serial)?
[07:36] <carlson> iafd, ok what exaclty is that backports
[07:36] <carlson> ?
[07:36] <carlson> where do i find it?
[07:36] <iafd> they're repositories with the latest software, afaik

[07:37] <carlson> sorry, i am new to ubuntu... still dont know even what is a backport ,
[07:37] <djm62> Anybody here know how to troubleshoot mono?
[07:37] <SuseUX> later
[07:37] <Dr_Willis> carlson,  i am vague on that topic also. :P never used the,
[07:37] <zburns> djm62: I'm running mono under breezy
[07:37] <djm62> zburns: any way to use a wired network for the duration of the install?
[07:37] <squid0> booting troubleshooting please? help?
[07:38] <Weems> is there a ubuntu package for xchat 2.4.5?
[07:38] <zburns> djm62: yes, I can do that...how can I start netinstall?
[07:38] <niyi> hello *
[07:38] <niyi> i'm totally new to ubuntu, and debian based distros in general... (tho i'm not a total n00b)
[07:38] <djm62> zburns: I have breezy (just updated from hoary) and mono keeps choking...I've purged everything I can think of and reinstalled, still chokes
[07:38] <carlson> hey, i found a solution... i changed my repositories from hoary to breezy, then firefox 1.07 is there... is it safe to upgrade this way?
[07:39] <thompa> does ubuntu use alsa???
[07:39] <djm62> zburns: umm I'm not sure, there'll be a wikipage on netinstall
[07:39] <iafd> yeah, breezy is supposed to be quite stable
[07:39] <niyi> how would i check services configured in my runlevel in ubuntu?
[07:39] <kbrooks> carlson: not upgrading
[07:39] <zburns> djm62: ok, thanks.  re: mono, you have reference to universal repos?
[07:39] <nalioth> ubotu: tell carlson about upgrade2breezy
[07:39] <thompa> lavieboheme:  try breezy install
[07:39] <iafd> carlson :  when there's a new ubuntu release, the software you can get via synaptic is frozen, backports are an extra, unofficial service you can configure to, say, always get the most up to date release of firefox, or whatever software. or so is my understanding. get it?
[07:39] <kbrooks> niyi: links you may want to be acquianted with (for ubuntu):
[07:40] <Dr_Willis> thompa,   ubuntu uses alsa mainly
[07:40] <kbrooks> !rootsudo
[07:40] <ubotu> from memory, rootsudo is at http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RootSudo
[07:40] <thompa>  lavieboheme: 5.10 (Breezy Badger) Preview
[07:40] <carlson> iafd.... ok ,. now i got it.... i will try.. thanks a lot
[07:40] <kbrooks> !synaptic
[07:40] <djm62> zburns: yeah, I have the repositories, and the packages are installing, just not running
[07:40] <kbrooks> dang
[07:40] <dell500> i had ubuntu ship me some cds, do you think they will send me BB instead of HH?
[07:41] <zburns> djm62: what happens when you type 'mono' at terminal?
[07:41] <carlson> ubotu, tell carlson about gaim
[07:41] <thompa> Dr_Willis: alsaconf does not work, or is not there
[07:41] <kbrooks> dell500: they *SHOULD*. When did you have them ship cds
[07:41] <ubotu> I guess synaptic is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SynapticHowto
[07:41] <Ubunti_Ki> So, anyone who knows whats wrong if "Kate" dont show terminal? Maybe someone wants to see a picture taken of my kate? I can put it in pastein
[07:41] <Ubunti_Ki> pastebin

[07:42] <Dr_Willis> thompa,  actually ive rarely had to configure or do anything with the sound other then use the alsamixer. may want to check the wiki.forums on sound.
[07:42] <PUTU_PLUTO> anybody can say me the numbers of usuarios are in internet on the world? or on the spain? xD can you understand me? -_-'

[07:55] <tarzeau> anyone joins #bub-n-bros ? http://bub-n-bros.sf.net ?
[07:55] <Ubunti_Ki> Does that fix Kate? Or is gedit something like kate?
[07:56] <ompaul> Ubunti_Ki, then do this  >> sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop << best starting point for KDE on ubuntu
[07:56] <thompa> ompaul: do you mean i should "/msg ubotu keyword"
[07:56] <ompaul> thompa, yes
[07:56] <thompa> ompaul: but it gives me nothing
[07:56] <nalioth> ubotu: tell thompa about msg the bot
[07:56] <ompaul> thompa, you use the keyword if the bot has an answer then it will be forth coming
[07:57] <Hexstream> http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/2885
[07:57] <Ubunti_Ki> kubuntu desktop, okay.  Does that give me a choice to start KDE at login?
[07:57] <psycode> are there any mirror repositories for breezy ?
[07:57] <thompa> ompaul: but "!" gives me different answers
[07:57] <nalioth> psycode: none up to date
[07:57] <Ubunti_Ki> ompaul, ok and then?
[07:57] <nalioth> thompa: it does not

[07:59] <thompa> ompaul: sound
[07:59] <Quinthius> RockyBurt: i don't tink there is a seperate DISTRO for servers, but you can choose to do a server install, which doesn't install all the GUI / desktop-user stuff
[07:59] <djm62> RockyBurt: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/community/teams/server I know nothing of it, but there is a team ;)

[08:03] <Ubunti_Ki> ompaul does that give me a choice to start with KDE?
[08:04] <nalioth> thompa: ubotu has sent you priv msgs explaining all this
[08:04] <ompaul> thompa, the answers are identical just the opening word is differnt
[08:04] <thompa> ompaul: thanks, i know
[08:04] <kbrooks> ompaul: lengthy discussion -- #ubuntu-offtopic please
[08:04] <vitriol> GrooMan: dpkg-reconfigures xserver-xorg
[08:04] <hyperactivecrond> you don't ! when u msg ubotu iirc
[08:04] <Ubunti_Ki> ompaul and does it do something that maybe gives kate something to work?

[08:05] <ack> *what drive
[08:05] <ompaul> kbrooks, good point:: thompa if you want to continue this go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:05] <GrooMan> vitriol I tried that and I selected 1024x768 too, but I doesn't show up in the menu...
[08:05] <rukuartic> Working on building ndiswarpper-1.4rc4, but it says I need "source". Looks like thats 5 CSs of information. Anyway I could build it without the source?
[08:06] <qmanman> anyone in here runnin an ATI X300, X600, etc in their laptop?
[08:06] <rukuartic> *CD
[08:06] <Quinthius> GrooMan: did you restart X? log out, hit ctrl-alt-F1, login at console, run: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[08:06] <vitriol> GrooMan: maybe the xserver doesn't think your card can support 1024x768 .... can't really help you there
[08:06] <vitriol> someone else can tho
[08:06] <kbrooks> Quinthius: another way.... CTRL+ALT+BKSP
[08:07] <thompa> ompaul: had to ask cause people get jumpy as you can see
[08:07] <Quinthius> kbrooks: not a very pleasant way. doesn't give programs a chanec to close on their own..
[08:07] <kbrooks> ah
[08:07] <rukuartic> Switching from windows... need help installing ndiswrapper so I can use Ubuntu to connect to the internet with a wireless card...
[08:07] <ompaul> thompa, go to #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to talk to me
[08:07] <WhyvasLT> rukuartic, what chipset?
[08:08] <rukuartic> WhyvasLT: You mean the wireless card?
[08:08] <WhyvasLT> yes
[08:08] <thompa> #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:08] <rukuartic> WhyvasLT: dang. I had it written down, but I verified and its compatable.
[08:08] <WhyvasLT> are you in linux now?
[08:09] <rukuartic> WhyvasLT: Nope. Can't get internet on linux box because the card doesn't work.
[08:09] <schmiddy> where can i get the "GIF Video Codec"
[08:09] <neoliminal> Is there a way to create an encrypted partition under Ubuntu?
[08:09] <WhyvasLT> if you do lscpi in a shell it'll tell you the chipset
[08:09] <rukuartic> WhyvasLT: That'll involve me rebooting and all that. Hold up, lemme look it up
[08:10] <rukuartic> WhyvasLT: If you know off hand, is Linksys WMP54G
[08:10] <rukuartic> WhyvasLT: Broadcom, I think.
[08:11] <Jedrick> i try to install w32codecs but i got this msg, " Package w32codecs is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[08:11] <Jedrick>  is only available from another source
[08:11] <Jedrick>  E: Package w32codecs has no installation candidate
[08:11] <ompaul> Jeromee, do not paste - use paste.ubuntulinux.nl
[08:11] <WhyvasLT> yeah
[08:11] <darius___> Anyone know if the Breezy (Universe) gnucash package is broke?  Install errors out on me
[08:11] <WhyvasLT> broadcom
[08:11] <huhmz> jedrick: i tried asking this also but noone answered, i think they might have decided it was too non-free
[08:11] <WhyvasLT> you don't have a way to use the wired card ?
[08:12] <kbrooks> !w32codecs
[08:12] <ubotu> somebody said w32codecs was a set of codecs for popular audio/video formats (wmv etc). Install from http://tinyurl.com/bwomt (Hoary), or http://tinyurl.com/87ofx (Breezy)
[08:12] <rukuartic> WhyvasLT: No wired card, and that'd involve running a cable down three stories.
[08:12] <kbrooks> :)
[08:12] <huhmz> jedrick: you can download the codecs manually from mplayerhq.hu and unpack them into /usr/lib/win32
[08:12] <kbrooks> huhmz:  ^
[08:12] <Quinthius> Jedrick: get the codecs from mplayerhq.hu and extract to /usr/lib/win32 (make sure the files are directly under /usr/lib/win32, not a subdir)
[08:12] <kbrooks> Quinthius: ^
[08:12] <jpkeisala> When is official release date for Breezy?
[08:13] <WhyvasLT> 14th i think
[08:13] <[LethAL] > 13
[08:13] <kbrooks> jpfarias: 4 days
[08:13] <neoliminal> Is it possible to create an encrypted partition in Ubuntu?
[08:13] <[LethAL] > Hence the effing topic
[08:13] <Jedrick> amm but i dont know how to extract a file into specific directory.. im a noob
[08:13] <TiMiDo> 5
[08:13] <schmiddy> hi everyone
[08:14] <Ubunti_Ki> Is the gdm more for beginners then kde?
[08:14] <rukuartic> WhyvasLT: I read over the FAQ, and it says that I need the Kernel Source. Where do I pick that up?
[08:14] <TiMiDo> Ubunti_Ki gdm is just a display manager
[08:14] <TiMiDo> you mean gnome
[08:14] <TiMiDo> not gdm
[08:14] <WhyvasLT> rukuartic,  you need the kernel source headers if you're compiling it
[08:14] <WhyvasLT> but im pretty sure it's already installed isn't it?
[08:14] <Ubunti_Ki> Ok and what does KDE stand for
[08:15] <TiMiDo> Ubunti_Ki kde or kdm?
[08:15] <schmiddy> will linux always be virus and spyware immune like it is now?
[08:15] <Ubunti_Ki> both =)
[08:15] <Thordon2> Hi, can anyone help, I just installed unbuntu and the colors and resilution are messed up, I can riughly make out the text, but what do I do to reduce the resolution etc, thanks
[08:15] <WhyvasLT> it isn't immune
[08:15] <TiMiDo> well kdm is kde display manager and kde i forgot
[08:15] <nalioth> ubotu: tell Thordon2 about fixres
[08:15] <Jedrick> Quinthius:  how to extract a file into a specific directory.. e.g i have the file in /home/jedrick/downloads  and i want to extract it on /usr/lib/win32 whats the command?
[08:15] <Ubunti_Ki> Is linux trojan immun?
[08:15] <TiMiDo> Ubunti_Ki hell no
[08:15] <WhyvasLT> Ubunti_Ki, nothing is immune
[08:15] <rukuartic> WhyvasLT: Where do I find the kernel source headers?
[08:16] <nalioth> Jedrick: did you get the w32codecs deb file?
[08:16] <WhyvasLT> rukuartic, are you sure it isn't installed already
[08:16] <Mustard5> rukuartic, synaptic?
[08:16] <Ubunti_Ki> whats the best antivirus program for Linux?
[08:16] <Mustard5> search for linux headers
[08:16] <WhyvasLT> he doesn't have internet
[08:16] <rukuartic> WhyvasLT: I'm pretty sure, Mustard5: no internet connection.
[08:16] <TiMiDo> Ubunti_Ki none nothing really there's 0 virus on Linux
[08:16] <[LethAL] > !linuxvirus
[08:16] <ubotu> The short life and hard times of a Linux Virus http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[08:16] <WhyvasLT> Ubunti_Ki, you need to read up on google
[08:16] <nalioth> Ubunti_Ki: linux doesnt have viruses, but if you want to help your windows using grandmother, use clamav
[08:16] <Jedrick> yes
[08:17] <TiMiDo> do a research about Linux
[08:17] <Mustard5> ah sorry late to the conversation :D
[08:17] <nalioth> Jedrick: sudo dpkg -i file.deb  will install them for you
[08:17] <Skid> help your windows using grandmother?
[08:17] <rukuartic> WhyvasLT: Where's it found? /lib/modules/kernel/build?
[08:17] <Ubunti_Ki> is there a trojan remover then for linux?
[08:17] <nalioth> Skid: join #ubuntu-offtopic and i'll explain
[08:17] <nalioth> Ubunti_Ki: there are no known trojans or viruses for linux
[08:17] <WhyvasLT> rukuartic, you'd have to download them
[08:18] <Jedrick> ok
[08:18] <Skid> k
[08:18] <rukuartic> WhyvasLT: Yes... where do I find them?
[08:18] <WhyvasLT> rukuartic, you need to find a way to wire your computer in for a minute
[08:18] <WhyvasLT> bring it downstairs, use synaptics to install ndiswrapper
[08:18] <rukuartic> WhyvasLT: I can download in windows, burn onto a CD, transport that way.
[08:18] <WhyvasLT> much much easier
[08:18] <Jedrick> so this would look like this: $ sudo dpkg -i w32codecs_20050412-0.0_i386.deb
[08:18] <rukuartic> WhyvasLT: No network card. Can't wire.
[08:19] <[LethAL] > Jedrick, sounds good
[08:19] <nalioth> Jedrick: yep
[08:19] <Ubunti_Ki> MANY KISSES FOR U PEOPLE, I DID INSTALL KDM AND KATE WORKS PERFECTLY!
[08:19] <Jedrick> ok
[08:19] <WhyvasLT> ahh
[08:20] <WhyvasLT> Ubunti_Ki is swedish, that explains a lot
[08:20] <Ubunti_Ki> So with linux/mozilla I can watch every porn sight i wish!?
[08:20] <rukuartic> /ignore ubunti_ki
[08:20] <[LethAL] > Ubunti_Ki, if you're using KDE, I'd advise using opera instead
[08:20] <rukuartic> <-- Irc n00b. X_x;
[08:20] <Ubunti_Ki> Im from sweden yeah, but im finish. A finish icebear.
[08:20] <TiMiDo> ok feels good to be back

[08:21] <kbrooks> is that true?

[08:21] <[LethAL] > Probably

[08:28] <steve_> TiMiDo, :)

[08:29] <neoliminal> TiMiDo:  How do I enable encrypted Swap?
[08:29] <nalioth> steve_: see /topic
[08:29] <Skid> steve_: as per the topic, the 13th ?
[08:29] <_willcooke_> WindowsBreakerG4, Not exactly, but I'm using SATA on my desktop if that helps?
[08:29] <Hexstream> hi, I'm looking for the system config file where block device mappings are made...
[08:29] <enyc> wind: there shouldnt be a problem with that
[08:29] <steve_> omg, im an idiot.  sorry.   :)
[08:29] <hwaara_> how come you don't configure a root in ubuntu?
[08:29] <hwaara_> is everyone by default root too or what

[08:29] <nalioth> ubotu: tell hwaara_ about root
[08:29] <enyc> hwaa: via 'sido'

[08:30] <tylerdurden> hey how come fglrxconfig wont work? i just installed the ati drivers
[08:30] <tylerdurden> it says command not found
[08:30] <enyc> hwaa: ubuntu makes the initially-installed-user able to run commands as root via /etc/sudoers
[08:30] <enyc> hwaa: using the 'sudo' program
[08:31] <enyc> hwaa: further users created are not normally able to run 'root' commands, unless you reconfigure sudo [/etc/sudoers]
[08:31] <oxez> tylerdurden: close your current terminal and re-login, and also do it as root: sudo fglrxconfig
[08:31] <tylerdurden> oh there we go
[08:31] <kevogod> tylerdurden, Are you on Hoary?
[08:31] <enyc> hwaa: root exists, just has no password set [not blank password, just NO password set] ...

[08:31] <tylerdurden> it works with sudo fglrxconfig, but why doesnt it work without sudo? im root anyway
[08:31] <enyc> hwaa: there is nothing to stop you setting a root password should you want root ;-)
[08:32] <kevogod> Well, you would probably be wise to do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and choosing the fglrx driver
[08:32] <kevogod> When I used fglrxconfig on Breezy, it did not work.
[08:32] <pupil> How do I open a file browser with sudo permissions,. I have to copy a number of folders to another drive?
[08:33] <[LethAL] > pupil press alt-f2 and type gksudo nautilus
[08:33] <nalioth> pupil: not advisable
[08:33] <pupil> nalioth
[08:33] <Hexstream> sudo nautilus I thinl
[08:33] <pupil> nalioth, ok,. who do I listen too?
[08:33] <kevogod> gksudo nautilus
[08:33] <pupil> [LethAL] , ?
[08:33] <[LethAL] > pupil, both, but if there's no other way, do with caution
[08:33] <nalioth> pupil: nautilus has a known bug of messin up your user space when run as root
[08:33] <tylerdurden> Do you want to initialize xfree86-dga
[08:34] <tylerdurden> yes or no and what does it do?
[08:34] <kevogod> tylerdurden, Are you running sudo fglrxconfig?
[08:34] <tylerdurden> yup
[08:34] <kevogod> Well, you would probably be wise to do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and choosing the fglrx driver
[08:34] <kevogod> instead
[08:34] <tylerdurden> nah
[08:34] <kevogod> fglrxconfig failed for me on Breezy
[08:34] <jeff303> does anyone know how to cancel a newsgroup post in Evolution?
[08:34] <tylerdurden> it worked for me last time, i just forgot to do sudo this time
[08:35] <tylerdurden> so what does it do? xfree86-dga
[08:35] <thom_> !sound
[08:35] <ubotu> I guess sound is http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/DebuggingSoundProblems/, or http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoundProblemsHoary
[08:35] <kevogod> tylerdurden, Google it.
[08:35] <kevogod> And then become more puzzled.
[08:36] <hwaara_> enyc, ah thanks. so new users I create won't have to option of graphically sudoing ?
[08:36] <hwaara_> like if they go into some preferences. or are they also asked for a password?
[08:36] <enyc> hwaa: correct, unless you change /etc/sudoers
[08:36] <[LethAL] > hwaara_, graphics sudo is doing through gksudo or gnome-sudo
[08:36] <titanium> i'm about to buy a 300gb seagate harddrive which is on sale. i plan on using it on my Ubuntu machine. the machine itself is an Optiplex GX1p (dell). what are the chances of me being able to actually use the drive entirely and not have it cap out at 127gb or possibly even less?
[08:36] <enyc> hwaa: well they can change user-level-preferences, just not any 'root' requiring thing
[08:36] <enyc> tita: linux will have no trouble with that, BUT
[08:37] <Jedrick> when i start my pc and prompted which os to use, why is that i have 7 choices to choose from. linux kernel 2.6.12-9-686, recovery fail safe, linux kernel 2.6.12-9-686, recovery fail safe, linux kernel 2.6.12-9-686, recovery fail safe, and windows
[08:37] <enyc> tita: if the bios or otherwise does, you need a /boot partition within the first 127gb ;-)
[08:37] <artur> hi, skype on my ubuntu 5.10 shouts it need libstdc++5 and gcc3 , i can't find any solution on wiki & google, can anyone help ?
[08:37] <Jedrick> why is that i have 3 linux and 3 fail safe which are just the same
[08:37] <Jedrick> how to remove those
[08:37] <Seveas> Jedrick, remove some kernels..
[08:38] <Jedrick> how?
[08:38] <Ubunti_Ki> kde or gnome, which one suits better for a novice-user?
[08:38] <schmiddy> will linux always be virus immune, no matter how popular it gets
[08:38] <_willcooke_> Ubunti_Ki, Gnome
[08:38] <[LethAL] > schmiddy, we don't know
[08:39] <schmiddy> [LethAL] , is there any reason to use Windows XP over Ubuntu?
[08:39] <[LethAL] > schmiddy, only if you play games and they don't work in Cedega or Wine
[08:39] <lsuactiafner> xp has minesweeper
[08:39] <mjr> schmiddy, probably not
[08:39] <Jedrick> Seveas:  how to remove kernel?
[08:39] <mjr> schmiddy, and maybe
[08:39] <_willcooke_> schmiddy, Generally, as soon as a security problem is found it gets fixed ASAP, so we could assume that as soon as a virus appears it would only be survive for a short while
[08:39] <artur> who has skype working on ubuntu breeze ?
[08:40] <lsuactiafner> Jedrick : dont remove a kernel
[08:40] <Jedrick> when i start my pc and prompted which os to use, why is that i have 7 choices to choose from. linux kernel 2.6.12-9-686, recovery fail safe, linux kernel 2.6.12-9-686, recovery fail safe, linux kernel 2.6.12-9-686, recovery fail safe, and windows
[08:40] <Mon> anyone uses the nvidia legacy module? i only have some .o files that are unusable with 2.6 kernels afaik
[08:40] <RockyBurt> whats everyone's favourite application for design logo's (preferably vector-graphic-based) in linux?
[08:40] <Jedrick> why is that i have 3 linux and 3 fail safe which are just the same
[08:40] <Ubunti_Ki> Can I put a picture up in gaim just like in Msn?
[08:40] <[LethAL] > Ubunti_Ki, yes, in accounts
[08:40] <Jedrick> lsuactiafner: can you help out pls
[08:40] <Mon> RockyBurt: probably inkscape
[08:41] <didde> hey guys! I'm having some diffculties to boot Ubuntu on my LG LW20 laptop. you think the "breezy" RC could perhaps work better on laptops? should I give it a shot?
[08:41] <RockyBurt> Mon: hmm... i find inkscape very un-intuitive ... coming from a gimp background
[08:41] <kevogod> didde, Breezy will be officially released on October 13th.
[08:41] <didde> the installation went fine, but during boot the systems hangs while loading hotplug PCI...
[08:41] <titanium> enyc: so i should look up the info on the bios for optiplex gx1p's then :) gonna check now
[08:41] <kevogod> didde, So you might want to wait a few days if possible to get the final version.
[08:42] <Mon> RockyBurt: well there's dia but i don't like that one. KDE probably has a tool too
[08:42] <enyc> tita: well... its not worth worrying about that.... erm
[08:42] <didde> heh, yeah my patience ran out a couple of days ago though. debian was IMPOSSIBLE to even install on the machine.
[08:42] <enyc> tita: just upgrade the bios to latest version...
[08:42] <lsuactiafner> RockyBurt : the gimp will make logos for you
[08:42] <enyc> tita: amnd make sure you install with a "/boot" partition at the beginning of the disk before all the rest of the partitions
[08:42] <lsuactiafner> RockyBurt : the gimp is also veryvery good to make ggraphics
[08:42] <RockyBurt> lsuactiafner: yeah, but i'm aiming for something vector-based so that i can scale them better
[08:43] <kevogod> Photoshop
[08:43] <kevogod> ...
[08:43] <dariuss> didde: won't hurt to give it a shot?
[08:43] <didde> it's funny, LG makes great laptops but there's not a single good page describing the possible quirks etc. seems like nobody is running Linux on'em.
[08:43] <didde> I'm starting to think XP will be my only viable option if RC1 won't work  :(
[08:43] <Jedrick> when i start my pc and prompted which os to use, why is that i have 7 choices to choose from. linux kernel 2.6.12-9-686, recovery fail safe, linux kernel 2.6.12-9-686, recovery fail safe, linux kernel 2.6.12-9-686, recovery fail safe, and windows. why is that i have 3 linux and 3 failesafe which are just the same
[08:43] <hwaara_> I heard LG are just rebranding other's hardware
[08:43] <Jedrick> help pls
[08:43] <titanium> enyc: it's a really old computer (450mhz p3), do you think that with the latest bios it'd still be able to handle a 300gb hdd? and also about the /boot thing.. i'll only be using this as a mounted drive for storage, not the system drive.
[08:44] <titanium> do i still need to do something special?
[08:44] <didde> hwaara: yes and no. it's basically just intel stuff in the machine (Sonoma).
[08:44] <kevogod> Jedrick, Well, you have duplicate entries for whatever reason. It shouldn't hurt anything.
[08:44] <Jedrick> so how can i remove them from the list?
[08:44] <joetheodd> titanium: I'm not entirely sure, but I think handling drive size is totally BIOS-dependant and has nothing to do with the processor
[08:44] <Ubunti_Ki> [LethAL] , in account, can't find, I really looked. Maybe mine is too old?
[08:44] <enyc> tita: well then its not relevant to bios
[08:45] <kevogod> Jedrick, If you are brave, you can edit them by going to /boot/grub/menu.lst
[08:45] <enyc> tita: you might have a 32gb award bios bug however, which is a different matter
[08:45] <[LethAL] > Ubunti_Ki, right click on the msn account
[08:45] <didde> BTW, is it possible to disable pci_hotplug from Grub?
[08:45] <Jedrick> ok
[08:45] <enyc> tita: update the bios first ;-).. and you should be able to use the disk under linux no-trouble
[08:45] <kevogod> Jedrick, You have to use sudo
[08:45] <titanium> ok. currently it's running fine with 2x 10gb hdds... gonna replace the non-system 10gb with the 300gb for storage. hehe
[08:45] <Mon> RockyBurt: check this: http://lwn.net/Articles/84238/
[08:46] <Jedrick> ok im on it now usng gedit.. am i doing right?
[08:46] <titanium> will i need to do anything special besides unmount the old 10gb, take it out, put in the 300gb, boot, mount new drive?
[08:46] <Ubunti_Ki> [LethAL] , I really right click my account, don't show nada. I wanna put a picture of me so everyone can see it.
[08:48] <Mon> anyone uses the nvidia legacy module? i only have some .o files that are unusable with 2.6 kernels afaik
[08:48] <[LethAL] > Ubunti_Ki, in your account's properties
[08:49] <kevogod> Jedrick, Did you use sudo gedit to open the file?
[08:49] <squid0> hi all
[08:49] <Jedrick> yes
[08:49] <kevogod> Then yes, you are on the right track.
[08:49] <Jedrick> and i have 9 on the list
[08:49] <Ubunti_Ki> [LethAL] , have looked, but with no luck. I use ubuntu-gnome.
[08:49] <Jedrick> i thought i just have 7
[08:49] <Jedrick> errr
[08:49] <squid0> anyone know a good open-source /non-commercial partition editor that'll manage ntfs partitions?
[08:49] <[LethAL] > Ubunti_Ki, so do I
[08:50] <Ubunti_Ki> Nothing in account properties, [LethAL]
[08:50] <Ubunti_Ki> ok
[08:50] <nalioth> squid0: qtparted
[08:50] <[LethAL] > Look at http://gaim.sf.net
[08:50] <[LethAL] > Might help more
[08:50] <didde> anyone know if is it possible to disable pci_hotplug from Grub?
[08:50] <kevogod> Jedrick, From another terminal window, just to be safe, type "sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.bak"
[08:50] <kevogod> This will create a backup of the current file.
[08:50] <Ubunti_Ki> I found it [LethAL]
[08:51] <adler> hey, anybody got a good link to a comparison between reiserfs, ext2, ext3, etc?
[08:51] <kevogod> Jedrick, Then, feel free to remove entries that appear to be duplicates.
[08:51] <squid0> nalioth: thanks, I tried it and it doesn't work properly. says an error occurs when I commit changes after telling it to partition an ntfs partition...
[08:51] <SuseUX> ok, now openoffice segfaults after the update
[08:51] <nalioth> squid0: then i dont know what to advise
[08:52] <nalioth> squid0: run chkdsk in windows on the partition
[08:52] <squid0> nalioth: ok. thanks anyway :)
[08:52] <SuseUX> something seriously broken here!
[08:52] <squid0> nalioth: what is that?
[08:52] <kevogod> adler, ReiserFS is a fast filesystem that is seen as not as reliable as ext3, which is the tried and true journalled file system.
[08:52] <RexKwonDo> Idiot question:  I still see the blue Kubuntu startup image even though I have successfully switched back to the chocolately goodness of Ubuntu.  How do I bring back the brown??
[08:52] <Jedrick> ok i remove them already, what does cp stands for?
[08:52] <kevogod> adler, Although, I prefer ReiserFS since it is reasonably faster.
[08:52] <nalioth> squid0: in Windows, there is a utility to fix your windows file system. it's called chkdsk
[08:53] <kevogod> Jedrick, copy
[08:53] <oxez> adler: I have read somewhere that ReiserFS handles more easily small files
[08:53] <squid0> nalioth: ok. does it enable you to resize a partition?
[08:53] <adler> kevogod, aha.  Well, I actually always used ext2 and reiserFS, but quite blindly.  I just don't know the pros and cons of each one
[08:53] <owen_> hey
[08:53] <adler> oxez, uhum
[08:53] <kevogod> adler, ext2 is ancient, use ext3
[08:53] <nalioth> squid0: if your partition is screwed, qtparted won't work on it
[08:53] <owen_> can someone help me with a linux problem I have?
[08:53] <Jedrick> ok thnx
[08:54] <kevogod> adler, ext3 is essentially ext2 journalled.
[08:54] <Ubunti_Ki> does gaim come with KDE?
[08:54] <adler> kevogod, I hope the Ubuntu install lets me choose. I'm a Debian user actually, but I have quite a laptop here =) I don't have much time to configure things, so I hope Ubuntu will do the job
[08:54] <squid0> nalioth: oh, i see. no, i don't think the problem is the partition. i think it's qtparted. the partition is fine
[08:54] <kevogod> Ubunti_Ki, Kopete comes with KDE.
[08:54] <kevogod> adler, I am using ReiserFS right now on 8 partitions.
[08:54] <Ubunti_Ki> Is as Gaim? not as good? ;)
[08:54] <kevogod> Ubunti_Ki, I prefer Gaim.
[08:55] <test34> Anyone know how to stop firefox 1.5 asking you to Clear Private Data on startup ?
[08:55] <kevogod> Ubunti_Ki, Although I prefer GNOME.
[08:55] <Ubunti_Ki> ^_^ ok kevogod
[08:55] <owen_> UGHHH!! I have these super annoying lines flashing up on my screen in ubuntu :( Can anyone help me?
[08:55] <adler> kev-test, I am using reiserFS too  (for no particular reason, though)
[08:55] <lsuactiafner> oxez : depends on the inode size of the filesystem
[08:55] <nalioth> ubotu: tell owen_ about fixres
[08:55] <lsuactiafner> oxez : the defaults work well enough for a desktop.
[08:55] <steve_> is there a way to do "apt-get dist-upgrade" in synaptic pkg manager?
[08:55] <kevogod> adler, Reiser4 is in the Linux kernel, I will use that.
[08:55] <durt> has anyone got gdkxft to work successfully?
[08:56] <deFrysk> kevogod, smart upgrade
[08:56] <pupil> do you guys know of any really good screensavers?
[08:56] <deFrysk> pupil, they are already installed
[08:56] <kevogod> +When
[08:56] <steve_> pupil, what's wrong with the pre-installed ones?
[08:56] <pupil> deFrysk, indeed
[08:56] <oxez> lsuactiafner: ok
[08:57] <Jedrick> ey about the w32codecs i got it now, how to install it?
[08:57] <RexKwonDo> Idiot question:  I still see the blue Kubuntu startup during initial boot even though I have successfully switched back to the chocolately goodness of Ubuntu.   Thanks for the infos
[08:57] <pupil> steve_, I am looking through them now
[08:57] <Jedrick> no
[08:57] <Jedrick> yes its a deb
[08:57] <Jedrick> i download it from bittorrent
[08:57] <deFrysk> RexKwonDo, you mean reverting back to gdm ?
[08:57] <RexKwonDo> well, I did that
[08:58] <hwaara_> the brownness is awful
[08:58] <deFrysk> RexKwonDo, did you uninstall kdm ?
[08:58] <hortian> hey folks, I'm having some trouble getting GLX to work, if I run glxgears it says: Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[08:58] <hwaara_> there should be other optional colors :P
[08:58] <RexKwonDo> but the boot progress screen is still Kubuntu-ed
[08:58] <kevogod> Jedrick, Well... I don't know where you got this package, from from the terminal type sudo dpkg --install w32codecs.deb
[08:58] <deFrysk> RexKwonDo, did you uninstall kdm ?
[08:58] <hortian> any idea what I could do?
[08:58] <RexKwonDo> brown is down, baby
[08:58] <RexKwonDo> yes
[08:58] <RexKwonDo> even the configs
[08:58] <Jedrick> ok
[08:58] <Dr_Willis> the boot process screen is not gdm or kdm. thats the splashscreen stuff i think
[08:58] <deFrysk> wel I do not know honestly
[08:59] <Draucon> q time
[08:59] <RexKwonDo> yeah, things point that way, Dr_Willis, but I'm still stymied
[08:59] <Dr_Willis> if you are refering to the initial  logo/progressbar with the messatges at the bottom.
[08:59] <RexKwonDo> yes
[08:59] <Dr_Willis> RexKwonDo,  of course I just edit the grub menu items to NOT give that ugly splash screen any way :P
[09:00] <deFrysk> Dr_Willis, well I think the splash does not look bad at all
[09:00] <RexKwonDo> I wouldn't mind a total lack of progress indications
[09:00] <Jedrick> kevogod:  dude i got this error. " dpkg: error processing w32codecs_20050412-0.0_i386.deb (--install): cannot access archive: No such file or directory Errors were encountered while processing:  w32codecs_20050412-0.0_i386.deb
[09:00] <Dr_Willis> kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-9-386 root=/dev/hda2 ro quiet splash
[09:00] <Dr_Willis>   (change splash to nosplash)
[09:00] <Dr_Willis> not sure what quiet does.
[09:00] <Dr_Willis> :P
[09:00] <kevogod> Jedrick, Make sure you are in the right directory.
[09:00] <Jedrick> ok
[09:00] <RexKwonDo> hmm, okay
[09:00] <deFrysk> Dr_Willis, easyer to remove the word splash ;)
[09:01] <Jedrick> ok now i got it
[09:01] <Jedrick> thnx man
[09:01] <Dr_Willis> of course ive found some of the updates tend to replace the entry back to the way it was
[09:01] <kevogod> Jedrick, From the terminal, if you hit tab it will autocomplete entries.
[09:01] <Dr_Willis> so the BEST way i thinkis to edit somthign earlier in the file
[09:01] <Jedrick> what you mean?
[09:01] <kevogod> Jedrick, So you don't have to type the entire name out by hand.
[09:02] <kevogod> Jedrick, Type a few letters of the file and then hit tab.
[09:02] <lampshade> hey guys, if I install Breezy and then the official release comes out, will I have to change my apt sources or will I just need to do an apt-get update && apt-get upgrade?
[09:02] <Jedrick> kool
[09:02] <Jedrick> wait i try
[09:02] <kevogod> Jedrick, It works for directories as well.
[09:02] <Dr_Willis> # nonaltoptions=quiet nosplash
[09:02] <deFrysk> Jedrick, tabbutton invoces autocomplete
[09:03] <Jedrick> ammm its not working for me
[09:03] <kevogod> Jedrick, You have to be in the directory the file is in.
[09:03] <deFrysk> lampshade, reade the upgradenotes
[09:03] <Jedrick> yes im in the directory
[09:03] <deFrysk> lampshade, see /topic
[09:03] <Jedrick> when i hit the tab it just beep
[09:04] <Jedrick> ok its working now
[09:04] <kevogod> Jedrick, It can be a timesaver, just wanted to let you know that.
[09:04] <Jedrick> whats the shortcut keys to run terminal
[09:04] <Jedrick> thnx man
[09:04] <tenco> hi! what are the apt sources for breezy?
[09:04] <deFrysk> Jedrick, also workt in xchat for autocompleting nicks
[09:05] <caleb> im running beagle on breezy.  xchat logs aren't being indexed.  is this a known problem?
[09:05] <Jedrick> kool
[09:05] <durt> so no one here uses gdkxft?
[09:05] <kevogod> OK back
[09:05] <Jedrick> whats the shortcut keys to run terminal?
[09:05] <nalioth> ubotu: tell tenco about upgrade2breezy
[09:06] <artur> has anyone skype running on 5.10 ?
[09:07] <umax> hy

[09:08] <kevogod> Jedrick, I don't know if there is one. Alt + F2 opens the run dialog.
[09:08] <lampshade> hwaara_:  Try it and see if it comes up with a thing that says synaptics though I think it is
[09:08] <nalioth> hwaara_: a simple form of synapti, yes

[09:15] <lampshade> hwaara_:  You can get to it via system menu  goto System >> Administration >> Synaptic Package Manager
[09:15] <brt> is there a possibility to make the "Disks Manager" or "Gparted" recognise my LVM partitions?
[09:15] <lampshade> pupil:  It might be /etc/X11/xorg.conf I can't remember but I think it iis theer
[09:16] <nalioth> ubotu: tell pupil about fixres
[09:16] <LasseL> where do the "autoreconf" command live?
[09:17] <LasseL> I am trying to build gtkpod from cvs
[09:17] <StylusEater> nalioth: I can't find the ndiswrapper-utils package in the restricted repository...
[09:17] <IRCMonkey_> i have a quick question= i have a 80 GB hd with a 5GB partition. i went into setup (ubuntu) and selected the 5Gb partition to be my ubuntu partition. if i go along with the partitioning, will it format my WHOLE 80GB's or only the 5GB partition?
[09:17] <lampshade> if we get like 200 more in here we can beat #debian... GO CALL YOUR FRIENDS
[09:18] <StylusEater> lampshade: it's not about "beating" debian
[09:18] <lampshade> but it is about having some silly fun by seeing who can have more in a channel
[09:18] <lampshade> we are in second right now as I see from a /list
[09:19] <IRCMonkey_> anyone?
[09:19] <LasseL> I am following this guide, trying to build gtkpod from cvs. http://www.ubuntuusers.de/wiki/multimedia:ipod_mit_linux_verwenden:gtkpod_installieren, but I get an error that it can't find autoreconf
[09:20] <nalioth> IRCMonkey_: if it's free space, choose the free space option
[09:20] <hwaara_> is the "remote desktop" function in Windows XP compatible with ubuntu/linux?
[09:20] <hwaara_> can they connect  to each other?
[09:20] <IRCMonkey_> ok so ubuntu will install there?
[09:21] <Blejdfist> you can connect to WinXP from Ubuntu, but not vice versa
[09:21] <Blejdfist> altough you can use VNC from XP to Ubuntu
[09:21] <Blejdfist> or NX
[09:21] <Blejdfist> i would recommend NX since it's alot faster than VNC
[09:21] <nalioth> IRCMonkey_: if you tell it to use the free space, yes
[09:21] <hwaara_> Blejdfist, right, I guessed you can use VNC. How do I connect from ubuntu to xp?
[09:21] <Strog> NX is great
[09:21] <hwaara_> do I send an invitation file and ubuntu will magically recognize it?
[09:22] <stpere> hwaara_, you can simply access it using your applications menu
[09:22] <stpere> Terminal Server Client
[09:22] <stpere> in Internet
[09:22] <brt> IRCMonkey_: the install process should tell you that it is going to format your (5GB) Partition not the whole disk if you do it right, read carefully and you won't get wrong...
[09:23] <ant> does anyone here know java swing?
[09:23] <kbrooks> ant: ask
[09:23] <silasj> hi all
[09:23] <lampshade> ant:  Might wanna try #java if it is about actual coding and not like installing java to Ubuntu  they are pretty good about questions in there
[09:23] <calamari> ant: sure
[09:24] <ant> ok
[09:24] <hwaara_> stpere, which protocol? RDP?
[09:24] <ant> ill try that
[09:24] <stpere> hwaara_, yes
[09:24] <olivier> hi all
[09:24] <ant> but ill ask here first, in case anyone knows.
[09:24] <IRCMonkey_> i get up to the WARNING page that says that all removed partitions will be formatted (?)  including the one that i selected (5GB)
[09:24] <pupil> Can I use synaptic to install java runtime environment?
[09:24] <Blejdfist> hwaara_: rdesktop
[09:24] <olivier> can anybody tell me why my apt not works ? please :-)
[09:25] <Blejdfist> hwaara_: there is a Terminal Server Client
[09:25] <hwaara_> Blejdfist, right, that's what I'm using
[09:25] <nalioth> ubotu: tell pupil about javadeb
[09:25] <Blejdfist> hwaara_: there is even a panel applet for it that i recommend
[09:25] <hwaara_> just trying to understand how to set it up
[09:25] <hwaara_> oh?
[09:25] <txus> hi
[09:25] <txus> hey
[09:26] <Insecta> hi
[09:26] <cius> hello, would there be any g++ experts about that might explain an error to me?
[09:26] <nalioth> cius: ask your ??
[09:27] <pupil> I get faster speeds with linux than I do on a windows machine?
[09:27] <ant> calamari:  I have created my own class extending from JButton with its own internal class action listener.  I want to refresh the root contentpane or create a new one or whatever when the button is pressed.  I try getToplevelAncestor().removeAll() in the button class.  This just makes the button freeze.  Im thinking that this is happening because the button is in the content pane
[09:27] <cius> nalioth, its telling me there's an undefined reference to one of my functions in my main function.  What exactly does this mean?
[09:27] <pupil> nalioth, I have noticed that I get faster download speeds on a linux box than on windows,. is that just me?
[09:27] <silasj> hey guys... i'm really have problems to install TclMagick... please, see:
[09:27] <silasj> http://pastebin.com/387375
[09:27] <olivier> which port apt uses to get packages ?
[09:28] <calamari> ant: sorry, I don't know.. never extended JButton before
[09:28] <oxez> Woa, just installed windows xp with vmware, and it runs just a bit slower than Windows alone. I feel reboot command is deprecated for me :p
[09:28] <IRCMonkey_> if i choose " do nothing" to the larger partition, will it really not format it? (stupid question)
[09:28] <ant> calamari: ok
[09:28] <calamari> ant: you can add an actionlistener to the button to listen for clicks
[09:28] <pupil> nalioth, once I have downloaded the deb, how do I make install?
[09:29] <nalioth> pupil: sudo dpkg -i file.deb
[09:29] <pupil> nalioth, thanks
[09:30] <joe_> anyone know how to install codecs?
[09:30] <tucoz> joe_: hoary?
[09:30] <joe_> yea
[09:30] <IRCMonkey_> if i choose " do nothing" to the larger partition, will it really not format it? (stupid question)
[09:31] <ardya> hi folks
[09:31] <tucoz> check out www.ubuntuguide.org
[09:31] <ProN00b> can anyone tell me how to check with what filesystem my usbdrive (mp3 player) is mounted, and how i can unmount remount it manually ?
[09:31] <kevogod> !ubuntuguide
[09:31] <ubotu> well, ubuntuguide is out of date, breaks PCs and doesn't explain anything. The official FAQ Guide, which is based on ubuntuguide will soon be the help menu in Breezy. For more information see !faq.
[09:31] <oxez> !faq
[09:31] <ardya> does ubuntu have command line tools for system configuration, and if so, what?
[09:31] <ubotu> faq is probably The Ubuntu FAQ Guide: select System -> Help (in Breezy), or http://ubuntu-doc.ath.cx/gnome/faqi386/C/
[09:31] <tucoz> sorry joe_ didn't know that
[09:31] <nalioth> tucoz: please dont recommend ubuntuguide
[09:32] <tucoz> nalioth: sorry, I wasn't aware of that
[09:32] <kevogod> !tell joe_ about w32codecs
[09:32] <Crackez> hello everyone
[09:32] <Crackez> I've just installed 5.10 and ran into an issue w/ lilo
[09:33] <Crackez> i checked the forums, and googled, but nothing seems to have a good answer for this problem.
[09:33] <kevogod> My solution, use GRUB... heh
[09:33] <durt> lilo?
[09:33] <limaunion> hi, I'm going to begin the upgrade to Breezy, should I close gnome before doing apt-get dist-upgrade ? or can it be started from the X11 environment ?
[09:33] <Crackez> grub and lvm don't get along
[09:33] <tucoz> any emacs users here that had issues with fonts when installing breezy?
[09:33] <Skid> limaunion: no, its fine
[09:33] <hwaara_> stpere, so in the Computer field do I put the computer name?
[09:33] <lorenzod> Crackez, hmm...
[09:33] <Crackez> or so i have read,
[09:33] <nalioth> limaunion: no special efforts are necessary
[09:33] <Skid> after you reboot you'll notices teh changes to gnome
[09:33] <Skid> or restart it
[09:33] <Skid> (x)
[09:33] <nalioth> limaunion: you can continue using your box in a normal fashion
[09:34] <hwaara_> stpere, User name is the user name I use on the windows compuiter or what
[09:34] <Crackez> and lilo was what the installer gave me
[09:34] <limaunion> Skid: ok, thanks.
[09:34] <Crackez> this all started as i wonder if it is possible to have / on lvm, and no /boot
[09:34] <tucoz> I had to a hard time getting emacs to work after I installed breezy
[09:34] <Crackez> turns out it booted fine the first time
[09:34] <Crackez> i saw that there were patches, so i installed them
[09:35] <stpere> hwaara_, sorry I was away
[09:35] <tucoz> It ran, but it couldn't find the fonts.
[09:35] <limaunion> nalioth: ok, I still don't get it, how can the upgrade be performed and while there're tons of applications running..., but will start now from gnome. thanks
[09:35] <kevogod> joe_, You get that?
[09:35] <Crackez> and now if i run lilo -t, i get: Warning: '/proc/partitions' does not match '/dev' directory structure.
[09:35] <nalioth> limaunion: linux is not windows. it is designed to be productive all the time
[09:35] <scandium> ok, I admit I am too lazy to search bugzilla for this, but did anyone notice that debian (and the package is also in ubuntu main) has a site for erotic underwear models in one of its package descriptions? lol
[09:35] <stpere> hwaara_, if your DNS is configured, you can type the hostname of your XP machine
[09:35] <Crackez> and: Name change: '/dev/dm-0' -> '/dev/dm'
[09:36] <hwaara_> stpere, I have just connected two computers to a router
[09:36] <nalioth> scandium: excuse me?
[09:36] <scandium> nalioth, gstreamer0.8-mikmod
[09:36] <scandium> visit the website the package has in its description ;)
[09:36] <hwaara_> stpere, and can see the windows computer on the network (samba), and also its name
[09:36] <stpere> hwaara_, perfect, use that name
[09:36] <Dreamglider> how do i change premission on a folder and all sub folders to 755 ?
[09:37] <Skid> Dreamglider: chown -R 755 /path/to/toplevel/dir
[09:37] <tarzeau> !folder
[09:37] <ubotu> tarzeau: Are you smoking crack?
[09:37] <Mercutio> whats the address for the bugzilla?
[09:37] <Dreamglider> Skid, thanks
[09:37] <tarzeau> Dreamglider: what about find -type d ?
[09:37] <limaunion> nalioth: yeah, incredible...
[09:37] <nalioth> scandium: cool, while you're discussing skin, install "ubuntu-calendar"
[09:37] <durt> thats very interesting scandium... :)
[09:37] <Skid> Dreamglider: becareful if doing it with root mind
[09:37] <stpere> hwaara_, and yes, username is the username on your xp box
[09:38] <ardya> so I completed the Breezy install, rebooted into single user mode, ran apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, thats finished....whats the specific runlevel that disables the display manager at boot?
[09:38] <Dreamglider> it's just for a dir vith pic's
[09:38] <Dreamglider> with
[09:38] <Crackez> Dreamglider, find /path -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
[09:38] <scandium> nalioth, ok, installing =)
[09:38] <limaunion> i mean,  unbelievable
[09:38] <hwaara_> stpere, and all the fields (including domain) are required? I don't know the domain nor client hostname
[09:39] <stpere> hwaara_, I did connect to win2k3 server terminal server without filling in those fields
[09:39] <stpere> it should work
[09:40] <Crackez> Dreamglider, if you use -R, it will change all files and folders below the top-level dir
[09:40] <tucoz> !tell tucoz about w32codecs
[09:40] <Crackez> has anyone else had the problem with /proc/partitions not matching /dev ?
[09:40] <spiral> hmmm, get a problem with eclipse under breezy...
[09:40] <spiral> I can't use it anymore :-/
[09:40] <spiral> am I the only one ?
[09:40] <j0hnny-i> hello
[09:41] <j0hnny-i> when will next ubuntu come out ?
[09:41] <Trashcan> anyone know the path to apt-get's cache off the top of their head?
[09:41] <spiral> j0hnny-i: /topic
[09:41] <arcanistherogue> hey, I have some questions about gaming on Hoary Hedgehog.  I play all my games in a Failsafe terminal, but usually when I play games like UT2004 or CS:S through Cedega my copmuter just freezes.  I have an nvidia 6600 graphics card, what could be causing these freezes?
[09:41] <RockyBurt> anyone have a suggestion on a modern linux-capable webcam ?
[09:42] <hwaara_> stpere, still same error: "unable to resolve host".
[09:42] <hwaara_> hmm
[09:42] <dooglus> can I get xine to use OSS instead of ALSA?  I can't find the option anywhere
[09:42] <stpere> hwaara_, if you know the ip address, use it instead the hostname
[09:42] <pupil> that gdesklet thing is cool
[09:42] <Dreamglider> Skid, that command messed up the pic's and videos they are all 0 bytes!
[09:43] <Dreamglider> i have backup tho :)
[09:43] <nalioth> pupil: try superkaramba and adesklets, also
[09:43] <Skid> shouldn't have, unless they were 0 bytes before
[09:43] <j0hnny-i> spiral, thanx you
[09:43] <Skid> or you did something wrong..
[09:43] <pupil> apt-get or is it already on there?
[09:43] <ProN00b> can anyone tell me how to check with what filesystem my usbdrive (mp3 player) is mounted, and how i can unmount remount it manually ?
[09:43] <Crackez> Dreamglider: man find
[09:44] <dooglus> someone, please?
[09:45] <arcanistherogue> dooglus: try man xine then see if there are any command line switches
[09:45] <lsuactiafner> arcanistherogue : ut2004 has native linux binaries, you dont need Cedega
[09:45] <dooglus> arcanistherogue: "man xine" comes up behind the movie window and I can't see it
[09:45] <lsuactiafner> oh
[09:45] <lsuactiafner> arcanistherogue : maybe you're over heating?
[09:45] <hwaara_> stpere, haha this is weird. now I entered the IP address of the other computer into the "Computer" textfield, tried to connect, and a black screen just opened and closed immediately.
[09:45] <arcanistherogue> lsuactiafner: Perhaps.  I am running it on linux, too
[09:45] <hwaara_> stpere, leaving me at the connection window once again.
[09:46] <stpere> hwaara_, are you sure the terminal server is active on the winxp end?
[09:46] <arcanistherogue> lsuactiafner: everytime I ask about it on a forum like GameFAQs or the ubuntu forums i never get a response, I have had this problem since July.
[09:46] <Dreamglider> i dont need to find any folder just change the premissions
[09:46] <Licker> is there an apt-get command to get Java?
[09:46] <tucoz> Dreamglider, I might be stupid, but isn't it easier to run chmod -R 755 <dir>
[09:46] <arcanistherogue> dooglus: i dont know then... try googling it?
[09:47] <johhny> Is it possible to use sed to find a text pattern and have it display that line + the line below it?
[09:47] <Dreamglider> tucoz, i just did and it destroyed all the 10gb's !
[09:47] <LasseL> I am looking for a program that can help me clean out unneeded packages before I upgrade to breezy
[09:47] <_jason> Dreamglider:  change the permissions to what?
[09:47] <naw> I have used ndiswrapper successfully to load the windows driver for my desktop wireless LAN.  I am now trying to load a driver for my laptop but every driver I try says invalid driver in ndiswrapper.  Any suggestions?
[09:47] <Mercutio150> ok so can anyone help with ati drivers?
[09:47] <arcanistherogue> Licker: the package was JRSE something, but last time I checked it was broken.  I just found an .rpm file then used "alien" to convert it to .deb
[09:47] <Dreamglider> 755 on all files
[09:47] <hwaara_> stpere, well, I have checked the option "Allow other computers to control this computer" in the System control panel. is that sufficient?=
[09:47] <_jason> all files in a directory?
[09:47] <adler> !!! I just installed ubuntu and I realize it didn't ask for a new root password!!! omg!!!! Help!
[09:47] <ubotu> I'm sorry, i don't know what you're talking about, adler
[09:47] <tucoz> Dreamglider, what? that should just change the permission
[09:48] <_jason> try: chmod 755 *
[09:48] <Licker> arcanistherogue: Alien?
[09:48] <Licker> arcanistherogue: Linkage?
[09:48] <vengeful_> hehehe adler
[09:48] <LasseL> adler, sudo -s gives you root
[09:48] <arcanistherogue> Licker: its a command line tool
[09:48] <vengeful_> welcome to sudo
[09:48] <johhny> adler: Root is disabled in ubuntu. It uses sudo to manage root access
[09:48] <arcanistherogue> Licker: do man alien to get some more info ;)
[09:48] <adler> I couldn't set any user neither!!!!
[09:48] <Mercutio150> I've tried searching the forums but I can't find anything
[09:48] <Dreamglider> tucoz, all files were 0bytes after the command !
[09:48] <johhny> adler: sudo command will ask you for your user password
[09:48] <tucoz> weird
[09:49] <_jason> Dreamglider:  chmod 755 * work?
[09:49] <naw> Any suggestions?
[09:49] <johhny> adler: type it in, and you are root. sudo -s for those that insist on a root shell
[09:49] <adler> how can one create a user after installing?  It couldn't successfully create any user!!
[09:49] <adler> I can't open any shell :(
[09:49] <Mercutio150> or is there another channel to go for help in?
[09:49] <johhny> adler: System --> Administration --> Users and Groups
[09:49] <pupil> nalioth, what file is used to store the theme for xchat,.. cause I want to try making it tranparent,. among other things,. how would I go about doing this?

[09:50] <adler> johhny, the thing is that  I have a plain shell login
[09:50] <adler> really strange
[09:50] <_jason> Mercutio:  your best bet is probably to post on the forums
[09:50] <johhny> adler: And Applications --> Accessories --> Terminal
[09:50] <LasseL> Mercutio150, there is also the wiki

[09:52] <wrabbit01> hey all... not much of a tech question but a query nonetheless.  I'm heading down to the local computer swapmeet tommorow and am gonna try and hunt down a REALLY low spec laptop. My guess is that the cheapest I'd be able to find is at around 300 or so.  Any ideas about the minumum and ideal specs for running ubuntu with a few development proggies?
[09:52] <aent> thanks
[09:52] <kevogod> joe_, ubotu should have messaged you
[09:52] <joe_> ty
[09:52] <nalioth> !good bot
[09:52] <ubotu> thanks nalioth :)
[09:52] <adler> johhny,  ok got a menu
[09:52] <wrabbit01> Would anything above a 486 suffice?
[09:52] <Dr_Willis> wrabbit01,  i was able to buy a NEW laptop for $500
[09:52] <johhny> hit e, and then put init=/bin/bash at the very end
[09:52] <Dr_Willis> wrabbit01,  spending $300 on a low end used one.. is a bit of a waste
[09:52] <tucoz> Mercutio150, ah, you got an old one. Sorry, cant help you.
[09:53] <adler> johhny, done
[09:53] <wrabbit01> Dr_Willis: Might not be used.  Alot of these stalls are ex retail outlets getting rid of stock
[09:53] <johhny> adler: After you add that to the end, hit b to boot it
[09:53] <wrabbit01> Dr_Willis: What did you find for 500?
[09:53] <dooglus> Dragnovich: it depends what FTP server you're using
[09:53] <Mercutio150> damn, I don't need the crazy high speed ones,
[09:53] <Dr_Willis> wrabbit01,   compaq V2311
[09:53] <dooglus> Dragnovich: read the docs for your FTP server
[09:53] <Mercutio150> guess I'll have to go get one now
[09:53] <adler> johhny, *booting*
[09:53] <Dr_Willis> wrabbit01,  its fairly decent. I got it at just right time for the rebates overlapped :P
[09:54] <hwaara_> stpere, still the same thing when I remove user/pass. a black screen/window pops up but closes immediately
[09:54] <naw> Any nidswrapper users here?
[09:54] <nalioth> wrabbit01: they sell NEW laptops for $499 here all the time
[09:54] <johhny> adler: Once you boot into a root shell, type: mount -a to mount all filesystems
[09:54] <Dr_Willis> ive seen many other laptops for $550-600  range
[09:54] <paulproteus|lapt> johhny: I agree, #debian is full of losers.
[09:54] <wrabbit01> here?
[09:54] <j0hnny-i> ahah
[09:54] <johhny> paulproteus: You are in debian? XD
[09:54] <Dr_Willis> lol
[09:54] <adler> johhny, strange, it shows a regular "login: " again :(
[09:54] <j0hnny-i> ubuntu is an anciant african word that means "i cannot install gentoo"
[09:54] <nalioth> wrabbit01: do you live in the US?
[09:55] <wrabbit01> nalioth: Nope.. I'm in the land of OZ.  Australia
[09:55] <johhny> adler: Is it important that you save the data on this machine?
[09:55] <HiddenFly> when is breezy going to be released?
[09:55] <adler> johhny, suggesting reinstall? =)
[09:55] <hwaara_> stpere, aaah my firewall!
[09:55] <nalioth> wrabbit01: ah. www.outpost.com has retail stores called "Frys Electronics". the retail stores sell those lappys for $499usd
[09:55] <wrabbit01> Either way... I've seen some cheap/low spec notebooks on ebay and if I could get something at around 1ghz, it should be ok
[09:55] <nalioth> HiddenFly: see /topic
[09:55] <johhny> adler: Well that would work unless /etc/passwd was corrupt or something pam / login related is wrong
[09:55] <wrabbit01> I'll check it out nalioth, thanks
[09:56] <robertj> can someone tracking breezy please test to see if they can save to a gnome vfs share with bluefish?
[09:56] <adler> johhny, well, actually I'm a Debian user and thought Ubuntu would solve my hardware-detecting problems on my laptop =(   I guess I'll have to lose some hours anyhow
[09:56] <johhny> adler: If there is nothing important, reinstall with breezy
[09:56] <nalioth> wrabbit01: look for "Great Quality" brand (those are the ones that are sold)
[09:56] <stpere> hwaara_, yep, I should have think of that
[09:56] <HiddenFly> nalioth: hehe lol thx, it was way too close for my eyes :D
[09:56] <wrabbit01> nalioth: Any specifics?
[09:56] <hwaara_> stpere, oh, still same thing. hmmm.
[09:56] <johhny> adler: My laptop supports hibernate / suspend, and all of the multimedia keys by default in breezy rc1
[09:56] <nalioth> wrabbit01: specifics on what?
[09:57] <johhny> adler: It is mostly stable and will be out officially on the 13th. You should use that
[09:57] <wrabbit01> nalioth: I'm only wanting to do a little web/software coding and web browsing on the lappy.  It won't be used for much else. That's what the desktop is for
[09:57] <adler> I just downloaded today the ISO image.  It is "breezy badger"
[09:57] <wrabbit01> nalioth: I meant, any specific brand
[09:57] <Kalidarn> wondering if anyone else has experienced saving in OpenOffice.org2 as  Microsoft Office 2003 XML documents fails ie "Error saving the document <Docname>: Write Error. The file could not be written." ahh and the help is also broken.
[09:57] <nalioth> wrabbit01: just pointing out that laptops have broken the >$500usd mark
[09:57] <adler> johhny, I just downloaded today the ISO image.  It is "breezy badger"
[09:58] <Kalidarn> did it with 5.10 Preview, and now 5.10 RC
[09:58] <nalioth> wrabbit01: frys sells "Great Quality" laptops for $499 USD
[09:58] <factotum> hey all Im looking through the wiki on how to upgrade to warty from hoary but cant seem to find it, anyone have a direct link?
[09:58] <factotum> someone gave it to me last night, but forgot to mark it
[09:58] <wrabbit01> nalioth: looking through that site now, cheers
[09:58] <Kalidarn> Fackamato: check your logs
[09:59] <_jason> factotum:  do you mean breezy?
[09:59] <Dreamglider> what's the diffrence between 5.10 Preview and 5.10 RC ?
[09:59] <Kalidarn> ooops... factotum: check your logs
[09:59] <factotum> crap, meant hoary to breezy
[09:59] <factotum> lol
[09:59] <Kalidarn> Dreamglider: updated packages
[09:59] <Kalidarn> thats about it
[09:59] <_jason> !breezy
[09:59] <ubotu> The guide to upgrading to breezy (5.10) is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade
[09:59] <LasseL> Any war stories on upgrading to breezy? Will I loose my settings and get defaults instead?
[09:59] <Licker> whats the command tologin as root?  su - or is it something diff?
[10:00] <johhny> adler: Download it from here: http://us.releases.ubuntu.com/releases/5.10/
[10:00] <funkyHat> Dreamglider, RC is more recent than preview
[10:00] <wrabbit01> nalioth: Didn't know that GQ was an actual brand. Are they any good?  Never heard of em
[10:00] <thenuke> Licker: su - works
[10:00] <Kalidarn> but i am interested if anyone here would like to try to save a XML document for me (fails on a clean fresh non-screwed with install)
[10:00] <wrabbit01> nalioth: but then again, I know nothing about notebooks
[10:00] <Licker> well im using breezy and its not workin
[10:00] <Crackez> Licker, sudo su -
[10:00] <thenuke> Licker: sudo su is common way to do it too
[10:00] <johhny> adler: that is release canidate 1 and is perfectly stable for the 3 machines I put it on and have updated
[10:00] <paulproteus|lapt> Licker: sudo su -
[10:00] <Licker> kk
[10:00] <nalioth> wrabbit01: only 5 companies in china make laptops. do the math
[10:00] <_jason> Kalidarn:  link?
[10:00] <adler> johhny, this is actually where I got it from
[10:00] <MrShifty|lappy> does anyone have a suggestion on a USB wifi solution for Hoary PPC? (other than a Netgear ma11)
[10:00] <dooglus> LasseL: mostly you'll keep your settings.  It keeps forgetting that I don't want all the different english locales generated, but otherwise seems OK
[10:00] <adler> I'll reinstall now
[10:00] <Licker> ok Sudo works in breezy no su -
[10:00] <Licker> :p
[10:00] <Licker> ty
[10:00] <johhny> adler: I have a script I've been writing for it
[10:01] <Kalidarn> _jason: go into OpenOffice.org2 (assuming your running Ubuntu, and try to save as a Microsoft Office XML 2003 document)
[10:01] <Dragnovich> How Do I install an FTP server in ubuntu Hoary?? apt-get install WHAT??
[10:01] <johhny> adler: Do you do any shell scripting?
[10:01] <dooglus> Licker: 'su' works fine for any account with a password set
[10:01] <Kalidarn> _jason: you must be running 5.10 Preview or 5.10 RC
[10:01] <adler> johhny, hmmm giving "linux vga=791" in the ubuntu install boot prompt is ok, right?  I mean "linux" is the name of the image?
[10:01] <adler> johhny, I don't do much scripting
[10:01] <joe_> kevogod, sorry i should have explained, i already have the codecs on my desktop, but i don't know how to install them
[10:01] <_jason> Kalidarn:  trying now, just an empty file good enough?
[10:01] <Kalidarn> just put like some garbage there
[10:01] <paulproteus|lapt> !win32codecs
[10:02] <ubotu> paulproteus|lapt: What?
[10:02] <Kalidarn> if you want.
[10:02] <paulproteus|lapt> !w32codecs
[10:02] <ubotu> it has been said that w32codecs is a set of codecs for popular audio/video formats (wmv etc). Install from http://tinyurl.com/bwomt (Hoary), or http://tinyurl.com/87ofx (Breezy)
[10:02] <mouhez> how do I make ubuntu execute a command when it's fully booted?
[10:02] <kevogod> joe_, From the terminal, type 'sudo dpkg -i w32codecs.deb'
[10:02] <Kalidarn> _jason: failed?
[10:02] <kevogod> joe_, Replace w32codecs.deb with the name of the actual file.
[10:02] <johhny> adler: yes that should work. Give me a few minutes and I'll send you a script I've been working on for breezy
[10:02] <paulproteus|lapt> mouhez: Create an init script, and put in /etc/rc2.d/
[10:02] <_jason> Kalidarn:  yep
[10:02] <mouhez> hm, okay
[10:02] <Kalidarn> ah ha!
[10:02] <dooglus> mouhez: add it to /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
[10:02] <Kalidarn> it must be broken then
[10:02] <Licker> dooglus: i know this but it wouldnt work in breezy, only worked as sudo
[10:02] <mouhez> :)
[10:02] <Kalidarn> can you visit the help thing?
[10:02] <kevogod> joe_, You must be in the same directory as the .deb package as well though. Use cd to change directories.
[10:03] <dooglus> Licker: that's probably because root doesn't have a password by default
[10:03] <Kalidarn> ie Help, OpenOffice.org Help
[10:03] <Kalidarn> i get "the help system could not be started
[10:03] <Kalidarn> "
[10:03] <_jason> Kalidarn:  no but i did uninstall yelp
[10:03] <dooglus> Kalidarn: that's a known bug
[10:03] <Kalidarn> hmm.
[10:03] <Kalidarn> okay
[10:03] <Kalidarn> any workaground dooglus?
[10:03] <dooglus> Kalidarn: I think it's an upstream problem
[10:04] <Kalidarn> ie open office dev?
[10:04] <joacin> just  installed ubuntu, but  only resolution avail. is 640x480
[10:04] <dooglus> yeah.
[10:04] <Kalidarn> or ubuntu implementation?
[10:04] <paulproteus|lapt> !x
[10:04] <ubotu> paulproteus|lapt: I'm not sure, is it larger than a breadbox?
[10:04] <paulproteus|lapt> !resolution
[10:04] <ubotu> I guess resolution is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[10:04] <dooglus> like it's broken in all OO.org2
[10:04] <Kalidarn> OH
[10:04] <Kalidarn> ;P
[10:04] <Kalidarn> the XML thing DID work though
[10:04] <Kalidarn> at one stage
[10:04] <joacin> ubotu:thx
[10:04] <Kalidarn> and it works with 5.10 Preview without any updates :)
[10:04] <ubotu> Syntax error in line 1, joacin
[10:04] <Kalidarn> one day when i updated it though it screwed up. :P
[10:04] <dooglus> Kalidarn: we're talking org2, right?
[10:04] <joacin> paulproteus|lapt:  thx
[10:04] <Kalidarn> yes

[10:05] <paulproteus|lapt> mylastmorning: Depends. :)
[10:05] <paulproteus|lapt> Ask us.
[10:05] <dooglus> Kalidarn: I'd check the bug number for you, but my girlfriend is watching a DVD at the moment, which limits my screen space...  :)
[10:05] <Kalidarn> openoffice.org2-core 1.9.129-0ubuntu4, Friday Oct 7 18:39:57 UTC 2005

[10:06] <nalioth> misieq: f12
[10:06] <Licker> dooglus: my root has a pass...  other than that. i dont know . hehe
[10:06] <dooglus> zeedo: she has her own box, but it's too heavy for watching movies in bed
[10:06] <mylastmorning> when installing my wireless-G WMP54G PCI Adapter card linux doesn't reconise it.
[10:06] <misieq> nalioth, f12+clcik?
[10:07] <arcanistherogue> Licker: sorry for the late response.  If you havent figured it out yet, im pretty sure you just do "sudo alien filename.rpm"
[10:07] <zeedo> dooglus: sucks, although good to see the women folk the world over get the substandard kit :-P
[10:07] <dooglus> Licker: I just tried "su". typed my root password and got a root shell
[10:07] <test34> I can't get rid of the little light icon for "post update information" even though when I click it it is empty.. any ideas ?
[10:07] <test34> it even come back after reboot..
[10:07] <nalioth> misieq: just F12
[10:08] <mylastmorning> maddler think you can help me with my problem?
[10:08] <dooglus> zeedo: it's a new acer 'laptop', but like 17 inch screen or something.  you'd need quite a lap...
[10:08] <zeedo> dooglus: we have one of them in the office, we call it Lapzilla - bloody good machines though
[10:08] <dooglus> heh
[10:08] <dooglus> it came with 4 missing pixels & the supplier wouldn't replace the screen
[10:08] <maddler> mylastmorning: never tried that one...
[10:08] <leagris> hello all

[10:09] <maddler> mylastmorning: and give a try at ndiswrapper
[10:09] <mylastmorning> they don't have linux drivers maddler.
[10:09] <naw> Does anyone here have exp. w/ ndiswrapper?
[10:09] <pupil> If I want to use KDE as my window manager do I need to install kubuntu?
[10:09] <Licker> dooglus: humm.. weird.
[10:09] <pupil> nalioth, If I want to use KDE as my window manager do I need to install kubuntu?
[10:09] <nalioth> pupil: that would be the best option
[10:09] <pupil> ic
[10:10] <mylastmorning> I tried ndiswrapper but everytime I try to activate the card it freeze my pc... any ideas their madller?
[10:10] <leagris> johhny, ony i386 cedega and it ownt install on amd64 wrong architecture (it complains)

[10:10] <Dreamglider> thanks mate's
[10:10] <johhny> leagris: well ask them to recompile it for amd64. That is a proprietary application
[10:10] <dooglus> wow, we're good at the easy ones, eh?
[10:10] <kevogod> dooglus, :-)
[10:10] <Dreamglider> yaya :)
[10:11] <Licker> dooglus: how do I check?
[10:11] <dooglus> Licker: if 'su' doesn't work...
[10:11] <dooglus> Licker: you can set a root password by doing "sudo passwd"
[10:11] <LasseL> should I have the breezy-backports repo enabled when I upgrade, or is that asking for trouble?
[10:11] <nalioth> pupil: i do most of my stuff in a terminal
[10:12] <pupil> nalioth, I guess You don't care for a window manager
[10:12] <mylastmorning> maddler that is for a different distro.
[10:12] <BurgerMann> Erh. If I delete a folder by rm folder -R and afterwards type locate folder, it seems to finde the folder anyhow :s.. why's that?
[10:12] <Licker> dooglus: ooohhh.h..  good eye. It wasnt set.  :/
[10:12] <Licker> ty
[10:13] <nalioth> pupil: the window mangler doesnt matter to me, i have terminals open everywhere
[10:13] <pupil> can I see your screen?
[10:13] <pupil> I'm just curious
[10:13] <maddler> mylastmorning: http://www.linux-sec.net/Wireless/Drivers/
[10:14] <dooglus> nalioth: window manager "ratpoison" is good for terminal use.
[10:14] <dooglus> nalioth: it's like "screen" but for X
[10:14] <maddler> mylastmorning: btw... googling for "WMP54G ubuntu linux" will give some interesting hints...
[10:15] <b0uncer> evening
[10:15] <nickrud> BurgerMann, locate uses an index of file names, which is updated about once a day; sudo updatedb will update the index for you
[10:15] <nalioth> dooglus: ty
[10:15] <maddler> dooglus: sorry... sounds interesting... but wasn't reading... what's that program?
[10:15] <BurgerMann> nickrud, oh.
[10:15] <dooglus> nalioth: caleld "ratpoison" 'cos it kills the need to use the mouse...
[10:15] <nalioth> dooglus: yes i'm familiar with it
[10:16] <Kensey> what's the package that adds the Debian menus to the Ubuntu menu?
[10:16] <Dreamglider> hey i had the nevest 385 kernel and updated to 686, in grub i can now choose to boot the 386 or the 686 is that normal ?
[10:16] <BurgerMann> I have this quite perculiar problem. I've deleted my configured PHP from it's prefix. But Apache still seem to work with php, even though I restarted it. Does anyone have a clue why?
[10:16] <Kensey> and what's the package with the win32 codecs?
[10:16] <florent_> hi there
[10:17] <florent_> I've installed the RC release of Ubuntu 5.10
[10:17] <nickrud> Kensey, for the debian menu, menu-xdg, iirc
[10:17] <dooglus> !w32codes
[10:17] <ubotu> dooglus: What?
[10:17] <dooglus> !w32codec
[10:17] <ubotu> dooglus: Are you smoking crack?
[10:17] <dooglus> !w32codecs
[10:17] <ubotu> w32codecs is, like, totally, a set of codecs for popular audio/video formats (wmv etc). Install from http://tinyurl.com/bwomt (Hoary), or http://tinyurl.com/87ofx (Breezy)
[10:17] <Dreamglider> i mean the newest 386 not 385*
[10:17] <nalioth> ubotu: tell Kensey about w32codecs
[10:17] <florent_> I'm quite disappointed with the SuSE 10.0 final release ;)
[10:17] <nalioth> dooglus: please have ubotu msg folks
[10:17] <kevogod> flodine, Why?
[10:17] <kevogod> florent_, Why?
[10:18] <dooglus> nalioth: !w32codecs
[10:18] <b0uncer> I'm disappointed with Breezy rc :/
[10:18] <pupil> I'd have a hard time using ratpoison
[10:18] <dooglus> it would be good if that syntax worked...
[10:19] <nalioth> dooglus: !channelspam
[10:19] <b0uncer> pppoe doesn't work anymore
[10:19] <florent_> there is a lot of annoying little bugs ;o) for example, if you launch Amarok or between each track, the PCM sound is muted ;o) quite annoying ;o) when you install a package, a font config file is reseted cause my perfect font rendering withtou anti-aliasing for small size MS TT Core Fonts are lost ;)
[10:19] <florent_> so i give a test to Breezy, quite nice but I've probelms
[10:19] <dooglus> how easy it is to change ubotu's code?  could he be made to recognise "name: !topic"?  better than having to type "tell name about topic"
[10:19] <florent_> in fact I have a big problem with hotplug freezing at boot
[10:19] <_jason> can anyone tell me if they have any media player that will correctly stream this(soccer game being broadcasted at the moment): mms://rdp.oninet.pt/antena1  Thanks in advance.
[10:19] <florent_> so I have disabled it
[10:20] <illissius> are there any known issues with the dhcp/network only actually coming up several minutes after (k)ubuntu has already booted?
[10:20] <florent_> but I'm forced to modprobe my WIFI card later (no such a problem), but I have no sound and my CD burner isn't seen, do you think it could be because hotplug isn't launched ?
[10:20] <nalioth> dooglus: it's a blootbot
[10:21] <illissius> (this is troublesome as I'd like to mount some network shares on startup, ntp I don't care so much about...)
[10:21] <typo> is there a command to launch whatever is chosen as the default browser?
[10:21] <florent_> I would like to help before the release but there is few days now
[10:22] <pupil> is this guy a nerd,..? http://www.nongnu.org/ratpoison/keyboards/007-jcorneli/
[10:22] <linlin> Hi how do I install Java Runtime Environment for use by FireFox?
[10:23] <mae> !java
[10:23] <ubotu> java is probably to install both 1.4 and Sun Java see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats#java
[10:23] <oxez> linlin: http://ubuntu-doc.ath.cx/gnome/faqi386/C/ch03s02.html
[10:25] <tylerdurden> hey will an fx 5500 give me much better perofmrance than ati?
[10:25] <tylerdurden> ati radeon 9200*
[10:26] <Trashcan> I need alien, but it's asking for my breezy CD- can i tell it to get it from universe/official?
[10:26] <illissius> tylerdurden: at 3D, depends
[10:26] <nalioth> Trashcan: edit your sources.list, comment out the cdrom line and try again
[10:26] <tylerdurden> becasue i heard that ati is really bad in linux
[10:26] <illissius> the hardware is comparable, but ATi's drivers are worse
[10:26] <Trashcan> thanks na
[10:26] <tylerdurden> right now im getting 1273 in glxgears with my ati
[10:26] <voth> should i installed the w32codecs before installing vlc and mplayer or xine in order to get wm* support
[10:26] <oxez> !glxgears
[10:27] <ubotu> oxez: I don't know
[10:27] <oxez> damn
[10:27] <illissius> glxgears sucks as a benchmark
[10:27] <oxez> yes
[10:27] <illissius> it's meaningless, all you can really tell from it is whether you have software or hardware rendering
[10:27] <mae> glxgears is pretty basic..
[10:27] <tylerdurden> how will i know if ill get better results?
[10:27] <ompaul> illissius, glxgears is not a benchmark
[10:27] <illissius> tylerdurden: try an actual game? :)
[10:27] <oxez> tylerdurden: try ut2004 demo for example
[10:28] <tylerdurden> well i dont wanna install a card, try a game, install another card, try again
[10:28] <oxez> With my ati radeon 9800 it was a bit under the "playable" state
[10:28] <tylerdurden> i just want an answer maybe from exprience
[10:28] <illissius> [22:27:30]  <ompaul> illissius, glxgears is not a benchmark <- precisely what I was saying...
[10:28] <illissius> tylerdurden: if you're buying a new card, get nvidia, if you already have ati, try it first to see how bad it is first
[10:28] <kevogod> tylerdurden, What ATI model do you have/
[10:28] <tylerdurden> i have 2 cards, right now i have radeon 9200 installed, and in my closet i have an fx 5500
[10:28] <linlin> how do i enable multiverse repos? synaptic isnt allowing me to do it
[10:29] <kevogod> I have an ATI x300 and get over 1500 FPS with glxgears unsynced.
[10:29] <illissius> tylerdurden: in that case, go with the nvidia, I'd say
[10:29] <pcharky> !multiverse
[10:29] <ubotu> ask me about !repositories
[10:29] <pcharky> !respositories
[10:29] <ubotu> pcharky: Syntax error in line 1
[10:29] <linlin> lol
[10:29] <pcharky> !repositories
[10:29] <ubotu> repositories is at http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/AddingRepositoriesHowto A list of official repositories can be found at http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/969 (Hoary) or http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/2325 (Breezy))
[10:29] <tylerdurden> ok and how would i go about doing that? in windows i just uninstall the drivers and stick in the new card
[10:29] <pcharky> happy now..!@*&^
[10:29] <tylerdurden> do i first install the card, then uninstall drivers? or uninstall drivers and THEN install card
[10:30] <joe_> kevogod, hi, i still can't get the my mplayer to work correctly even after ht codecs were installed
[10:30] <illissius> no one has any ideas about my dhcp/networking problems? (network only comes up several minutes after it's already booted)
[10:30] <pcharky> tylerdurden: install the card, install the drivers.
[10:30] <oxez> tylerdurden: are you ircing as root?
[10:30] <tylerdurden> but right now i have ati drivers installed
[10:30] <tylerdurden> i know for sure ill have to remove them
[10:31] <kevogod> joe_, What type of media are you trying to play?
[10:31] <joe_> wmv
[10:31] <pcharky> tylerdurden: you don't HAVE to, you can if you wish, it's all about your xorg.conf
[10:31] <joe_> website type videos
[10:31] <oxez> I don't think you have to remove the drivers, just don't load the fglrx module
[10:31] <tylerdurden> well if ill have nvidia installed i rather now have the ati stuff on my cmoputer
[10:31] <kevogod> joe_, Are you trying to play this inside of your browser?
[10:32] <tylerdurden> whats fglrx module?
[10:32] <tylerdurden> and how do i remove the ati drivers?
[10:32] <linlin> damnit its not working
[10:32] <oxez> fglrx is the driver
[10:32] <barawiec> hey
[10:32] <linlin> synaptic just closes
[10:32] <joe_> yes
[10:32] <joe_> and outside too
[10:32] <kevogod> joe_, If so, you will need to install mozilla-mplayer through Synaptic.
[10:32] <joe_> but nothing sorks'
[10:32] <ProN00b> can anyone tell me how to check with what filesystem my usbdrive (mp3 player) is mounted, and how i can unmount remount it manually ?
[10:32] <kevogod> joe_, Oh, hmm.
[10:32] <oxez> ProN00b: try "mount"
[10:32] <joe_> kevogod i already installaed mozilla mplayer
[10:32] <oxez> you'll see a list of mounted filesystems
[10:33] <nickrud> linlin, the simplest way (I think) would be sudo gedit /etc/sources.list, and, in every line that universe appears, append multiverse
[10:33] <kevogod> joe_, Try installing totem-xine and see if you can the file through Totem.
[10:33] <linlin> oh ok i was jsut going to ask that
[10:33] <kevogod> *play
[10:33] <tylerdurden> and how do i remove the ati drivers then?
[10:33] <pcharky> ProN00b: you can check: `dmesg` to see the device.
[10:34] <joe_> k
[10:34] <pupil> is it possible to put xfce on my desktop without any hickups?
[10:34] <pupil> I mean,. use xfce window manager
[10:34] <ProN00b> usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)

[10:35] <glick> excuse me can someone help me out as to why all of a suden mplayer wont play my files?
[10:35] <pcharky> ProN00b: did you mount it manually?
[10:35] <nalioth> pupil: yes, install xfce4
[10:35] <glick> [AO ESD]  esd_open_sound failed: No such file or directory

[10:36] <ProN00b> no, pcharky
[10:36] <pupil> nalioth,  should I use synaptic to do it?
[10:36] <glick> it stops after that
[10:36] <tylerdurden> uhh so no one knows?
[10:36] <nalioth> glick: do not paste in here, use #flood or a pastebin
[10:36] <pcharky> ProN00b: okay, edit /etc/fstab: sudo gedit /etc/fstab
[10:36] <nalioth> pupil: yes, synaptic
[10:36] <glick> sorry
[10:36] <ProN00b> eh ?_?
[10:37] <tylerdurden> nalioth can u help me again? lol
[10:37] <ProN00b> pcharky, not in there
[10:37] <pcharky> ProN00b: you can unmount it with: umount /media/usbdisk
[10:37] <nalioth> tylerdurden: what is your question?
[10:37] <ProN00b> thanks, pcharky
[10:37] <pupil> anyone heard of rocklyte?
[10:37] <glick> anyone know why mplayer might not be playing my files?
[10:37] <tylerdurden> i hear that ati is much worse than nvidia right? right now i have an ati radeon 9200 installed and get 1273 in glxgears, i have an fx 5500 in my closet and thinking about installing it, will it be worth it?
[10:38] <nalioth> glick: identify yourself with nickserv and type /msg ubotu sound
[10:38] <nickrud> glick, try mplayer -ao esd <file>,
[10:38] <nalioth> tylerdurden: install the nvidia
[10:38] <tylerdurden> ok, and what about the ati drivers? do i first remove them? or install the nvidia card and then remove the ati drivers?
[10:38] <ProN00b> omg
[10:38] <zerobl0g> tylerdurden: nvidia driver is "nv" ati has many in X
[10:38] <glick> nickrud, yeah that works
[10:38] <dooglus> I can't find any bug report in bugzilla to the effect that openoffice.org2's help system is broken, but I could have sworn that I reported it before
[10:39] <glam> how to downgrade from breezy to hoary?
[10:39] <glick> nickrud, but there is no sound
[10:39] <zerobl0g> tylerdurden: cool nick btw
[10:39] <zerobl0g> :)
[10:39] <ProN00b> how do i mount something as plain fat (not fat32 nor vfat)
[10:39] <tylerdurden> ty :P great movie
[10:39] <nalioth> glam: reinstall your box
[10:39] <zerobl0g> tylerdurden: yeah :)
[10:39] <nickrud> glick, then, in /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf, change your audio out
[10:39] <pcharky> ProN00b: for all i know vfat is plain fat.
[10:40] <ProN00b> pcharky, vfat is enhanced fat32, but it can !read! fat
[10:40] <tylerdurden> so again , do i first install the nvidia card and then uninstall the ati drivers? or reverse
[10:40] <glam> anyone installed mono on Breezy?
[10:40] <dooglus> glam: I did
[10:40] <pcharky> ProN00b: man mount
[10:40] <nickrud> glick, possibly a mixer issue?
[10:40] <nalioth> tylerdurden: use your head.
[10:40] <glam> dooglus. how?
[10:40] <dooglus> glam: apt-get
[10:40] <pcharky> ProN00b: msdos
[10:40] <dooglus> glam: I think I did "apt-get install blam", and mono is a dependancy of blam
[10:40] <tylerdurden> nalioth im new to linux, i uninstall the ati drivers once and xserver wouldnt boot
[10:40] <tylerdurden> so thats y im asking
[10:41] <dooglus> glam: blam is an RSS feed reader
[10:41] <ProN00b> pcharky, the filesystem name for plain FAT is msdos ?
[10:41] <glick> nickrud, hmm i dont knwo my mplayer was working fine yesturday
[10:41] <glam> when I install mono, it complain my glibc is too old.
[10:42] <dooglus> glam: how are you installing it?
[10:42] <pcharky> ProN00b: Not 100% sure: man mount
[10:42] <nickrud> glick, I'm not sure, I'm not an mplayer or sound guru. What I suggested fixed my problems with mplayer a couple of times.
[10:42] <nalioth> tylerdurden: open a terminal and type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and choose the VESA driver
[10:42] <ProN00b> pcharky, yeah, it looks like it
[10:42] <nalioth> tylerdurden: then remove your card, drop in the nvidia and restart
[10:43] <glam> apt-get mono. it require mono-jit
[10:43] <zerobl0g> if it wasnt for Linux id write things on paper and use my computer as a legresting-place :)
[10:43] <nalioth> tylerdurden: at that point you can install the nvidia driver of your choice
[10:43] <tylerdurden> how? and from where
[10:43] <tylerdurden> and my most important question, do i uninstall the ati drivers or not? i dont understand this
[10:43] <glam> then I apt-get mono-jit, it compained glib6 is too old.
[10:44] <pcharky> tylerdurden: you don't HAVE to, you can if you wish, it's all about your xorg.conf
[10:44] <tylerdurden> what do u mean its all about my xorg.conf?
[10:44] <tylerdurden> im new to linux, so this is confusing
[10:44] <tylerdurden> might seem like a stupid question that  a baby would know but i dont know
[10:45] <nalioth> tylerdurden: identify yourself with nickserv, so you can receive info from ubotu
[10:45] <tylerdurden> how do i identify? i never registed
[10:45] <apokryphos> tylerdurden: register then
[10:45] <pcharky> tylerdurden: xorg.conf is the configuration of Xorg, the graphical server, it's there where you tell the server which driver module to use.
[10:45] <nalioth> tylerdurden: /msg nickserv help register
[10:46] <tylerdurden> register 12345
[10:46] <tylerdurden> lol it doesnt work
[10:46] <tylerdurden> do i put a slash infront?
[10:46] <wesley> Could someone recommend a memory stick?  No troll intended. I'm a Ubuntu convert (ex-Slack veteran), I tried both Ubuntu and Kubuntu, and I _really_ like them both. Do you agree with me that GNOME is better integrated than KDE? (I'm impartial, though I used KDE until now) Makes me think about migrating from KDE to GNOME definitely, only I'm curious about your opinions on the subject...
[10:48] <nalioth> BioVorE: http://freenode.net/using_the_network.shtml
[10:48] <pcharky> ProN00b: formatting as fat in windows is (i presume) fat32.
[10:48] <illissius> kikinovak: define integrated
[10:48] <illissius> and no.
[10:48] <tyler_durden> ok im registered
[10:48] <nalioth> kikinovak: please use what is best for you. kde apps work under gnome and vice versa
[10:48] <ProN00b> no, i could select between FAT and FAT32, pcharky
[10:48] <tyler_durden> ubotu tell tyler_durden about nvidia
[10:49] <aaron___> does anyone have admin privledges for this IRC server? my damn screen name is stuck logged in.
[10:49] <zxsykco> !nvidia
[10:49] <ubotu> nvidia is probably at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[10:49] <kikinovak> nalioth: don't get me wrong... I like em both. I also like xfce a lot on my old laptop.
[10:49] <nalioth> tyler_durden: please speak with ubotu in /msg window
[10:49] <illissius> aaron___: /msg nickserv ghost oldnick password
[10:49] <aaron___> anyone know how to make ATI drivers work correctly? I've got a Radeon 9800PRO
[10:49] <pcharky> ProN00b: If this is about the usb disk, it was mounted read-write, and to know about >8.3 filenames, you can just test that.
[10:49] <hramrach> Hello
[10:50] <nalioth> kikinovak: use what is best for you
[10:50] <naw> I have a very simple newbie question: What can I not execute sudo commands in the root terminal?
[10:50] <glam> how do I fix this : nemerle: Depends: mono-jit (>= <IP_ADDRESS>) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages
[10:50] <nalioth> glam: have apt-get build mono-jit
[10:50] <pcharky> naw: you're logged in as root?
[10:50] <mylastmorning> thanks illissius.
[10:50] <naw> Im logged in under the username i chose during install
[10:50] <Skid> naw: What can you not? do you mean why can you not ?  Your user may not be listed in /etc/sudoers
[10:51] <naw> im trying to configure ndiswrapper for my broadcom and it wont let me execute ndiswrapper -m
[10:51] <naw> in the root terminal
[10:51] <Skid> naw: as you actually the user 'root' ?
[10:51] <kikinovak> nalioth: this is not another gnome-vs-kde troll. example: with slackware you'd better stick to kde because it's better integrated.... or you have to get some 3rd party gnome. well, it seems to be the other way round here.
[10:51] <ProN00b> what do you mean with that, pcharky ?_?
[10:51] <pcharky> naw: And now you're logged in through a (regular text-based)terminal and you can's use sudo?
[10:51] <hramrach> How do people burn CDs in Ubuntu? Is there some CD  burning gui installed by default?
[10:51] <kikinovak> nalioth: I'm not another newbie pissing on KDE/GNOME
[10:52] <pcharky> ProN00b: basically: I don't know..
[10:52] <naw> Im going through the Root Terminal option under the applicatins menu
[10:52] <ProN00b> ok
[10:52] <Skid> hramrach: gnome has a CD burning app
[10:52] <glam> nalioth: do I really need to compile, I just want nemerle to install.
[10:52] <pcharky> hramrach: just insert the cd.
[10:52] <Skid> or, you k3b
[10:52] <nalioth> kikinovak: let us speak in #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:52] <naw> any takers?
[10:52] <nalioth> glam: if the pkg is not available or broken, you'll need to have apt-get build it
[10:52] <ProN00b> anyone else know how to enable more lenght for names than 8.3 with the msdos fs ?
[10:53] <pcharky> naw: I catch your drift, holdon, I'll check it out.
[10:53] <naw> thanks pcharky
[10:53] <Skid> I think that's the hard limit, ProN00b
[10:53] <hramrach> Where is it in gnome? I did not find it in the menu
[10:53] <Skid> hramrach: just put a blank cd in your cd writer
[10:53] <naw> Applications -> System Tools
[10:53] <glam> nalioth, the pkg is in fact avaiable, it just depend on a newer version of another package.
[10:53] <Skid> it opens automatically
[10:53] <ProN00b> humm, then how can windows manage it, Skid *_*
[10:53] <naw> oh
[10:53] <pcharky> naw: I don't have that option, but you don't need it, since you can run all commands from a regular terminal with sudo
[10:53] <naw> ok..
[10:53] <hramrach> ok, I will try. Thanks
[10:54] <naw> Hm..
[10:54] <Skid> ProN00b: it abbreviates names, afaik
[10:54] <naw> Hmm..
[10:54] <ruif13> hi
[10:54] <kevogod> How do I remove LDAP servers from within Evolution?
[10:54] <naw> ok it worked but now i cant get my lights to come on on the wireless nic
[10:55] <naw> a whole nother issue, right?
[10:55] <ProN00b> naw, the disk is still fat, but it mounts as fat32 under linux and has long names, but mounts as fat under windows and got long names. its really f*cked up
[10:55] <ruif13> where is the config file of openvpn?
[10:55] <ruif13> anyone no?
[10:55] <ProN00b> wtf, someone has the name naw in here, i mean no with naw usually that
[10:55] <naw> hehe
[10:55] <nalioth> ruif13: look in ~/.openvpn
[10:55] <pcharky> kevogod: Go to 'contacts', right-click the ldap-server, and select delete..
[10:55] <naw> I went through the howto for broadcom nics and my lights still wont come on..
[10:55] <kevogod> pcharky, If that worked, I wouldn't be asking.
[10:55] <durt>
[10:56] <naw> anyone care to help a n00b out
[10:56] <nalioth> naw: ask a question
[10:56] <naw> ok
[10:56] <programador> hola
[10:56] <naw> Every time I use ndiswrapper to load the appropriate driver for the NIC, ndiswrapper lists it as invalid driver preventing the lights from coming on on the nic
[10:56] <nalioth> !es
[10:56] <ubotu> Hispanohablantes: Por favor usen #ubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[10:56] <ruif13> nalioth i don't found that :S
[10:57] <naw> ndiswrapper worked perfect on my pci wireless nic...this is frustrating :<
[10:57] <nalioth> ruif13: visit the openvpn website and see any FAQs
[10:57] <ruif13> thanks
[10:57] <programador> como estan por alla
[10:58] <nalioth> programador: no hablamos espanol aqui, vaya de el #ubuntu-es, por favor
[10:58] <pcharky> programador: please, english
[10:58] <fangorious> after updating yesterday, I don't get the graphical boot anymore. any idea where to enable that?
[10:58] <Fresh> um, hi all.
[10:58] <programador> okey  all right
[10:58] <Fresh> can i ask a question?
[10:59] <pcharky> Fresh: suer
[10:59] <nalioth> Fresh: that's what #ubuntu is here for
[10:59] <fangorious> Fresh, just ask, don't need permission
[10:59] <naw> Any ideas?
[10:59] <IRCMonkey> if i choose " do nothing" to the larger partition, will it really not format it? (stupid question)
[11:00] <hajiki> IRCMonkey, right
[11:00] <johhny> IRCMonkey: This isn't microsoft. If you tell it not to do something, it really will not do it
[11:00] <IRCMonkey> ok thanks
[11:00] <Fresh> well.... i'm tryin to set up a dual boot system. just reinstalled xp with fat partition. if i do an install with ubuntu now, am i still gonna get those boot problems that i had the first time i tried this?
[11:00] <kevogod> pcharky, I cannot right-click the LDAP Servers.
[11:00] <IRCMonkey> i was scared that if i formattedd 1 partition , it would format my whole disk
[11:00] <nalioth> Fresh: you shouldnt
[11:01] <fangorious> anyone know how to re-enable the graphical boot sequence?
[11:01] <Fresh> okay, cool.
[11:01] <Fresh> thanks
[11:01] <hajiki> IRCMonkey, it will only format the partitions with the faces
[11:01] <IRCMonkey> hajiki - faces?
[11:02] <hajiki> IRCMonkey, theres like some little faces next to them on the next screen
[11:02] <IRCMonkey> and the downward pointing arrow thing?
[11:02] <IRCMonkey> so that inticated what will be formatted for ubuntu
[11:02] <hajiki> IRCMonkey, but in any case it should only format if you tell it to Format
[11:02] <IRCMonkey> ok
[11:02] <IRCMonkey> for the partition, what option should i choose?
[11:02] <ThePyromaniac> question, what does it mean when i turn my PC on, select the harddrive with ubuntu on and it says "No valid device. Press any key to continue....@ then goes to my other HD?
[11:03] <IRCMonkey> like ext2 ext3??
[11:03] <ompaul> 3
[11:03] <hajiki> ext3 is a safe bet
[11:03] <r0xoR> how do i specify fonts other than the standard "xfontsel" type fonts... isn't there some like xfs:"Font Name" syntax too? what was that?
[11:03] <IRCMonkey> ok thanks
[11:03] <hajiki> r0xoR, only if the app is xfs aware
[11:03] <r0xoR> hajiki, ok but is that the syntax?
[11:04] <yer> hey everybody, is it wrong that i solve 99% of my debian problems by reading the ubuntu forums?
[11:04] <hajiki> r0bby, in which case you just use the font name space font size like this 'Times New Roman 11'
[11:04] <IRCMonkey> im a little paranoid because i got scared of the WARNING page that says all partitions would be formatted
[11:04] <nalioth> yer: as long as it solves your problems, no. but some forum contributions are plain wrong
[11:04] <hajiki> IRCMonkey, did you chose the USE ENTIRE DISK option?
[11:04] <yer> nalioth, hahaha
[11:04] <IRCMonkey> no
[11:04] <IRCMonkey> i went inot advanced
[11:04] <yer> hey nalioth, what do you think of this
[11:04] <IRCMonkey> *into
[11:05] <hajiki> IRCMonkey, it meant only the ones you chose to be formatted then
[11:05] <ThePyromaniac> hello guys? ^^
[11:05] <yer> debian stable, linux 2.6.8-2-k7, gphoto2 2.1.5, libgphoto2  2.1.5, libgphoto2_port 0.5.1, sony cyber-shot DSC P41 in PTP mode, works just fine with gphoto2 -P under linux 2.4.x, but under 2.6.x i get "Could not find USB device (vendor 0x54c, product 0x4e)" any ideas?
[11:05] <IRCMonkey> it showed the main partiton (75GB) and the other (5GB)
[11:05] <ThePyromaniac> "No valid device. Press any key to continue...." what does this error message mean? google tells me nothing
[11:05] <nalioth> yer: i suggest you get the source driver and compile it
[11:05] <phillambrechts> Is there any way i can get nautilus to show thumbnails on mounted SMB shares that I mounted through the Connect To Server app?
[11:05] <ThePyromaniac> only something about fixmbr which is windows boot records is it not?
[11:05] <ompaul> ThePyromaniac, what tells you where?
[11:05] <yer> nalioth, but then i gotta screw with my kernel :(
[11:05] <IRCMonkey> i have a little arrow going from the larger partition to the smaller
[11:06] <IRCMonkey> with that smiley face u told me about
[11:06] <hajiki> phillambrechts, system > preferences > file management, under the Preview Tab
[11:06] <agrisb> does anyone has working canon laserbase MF5630 on hoary?
[11:06] <ThePyromaniac> ompaul when i boot my pc and press F8 to select my HD it says "No valid device. Press any key to continue...." and then goes to my default HD
[11:06] <ompaul> why do you press F8?
[11:07] <ThePyromaniac> to select my HD
[11:07] <phillambrechts> hajiki, thanks a lot!
[11:07] <IRCMonkey> would that be a good setup, hajiki?
[11:07] <ompaul> ThePyromaniac, don't press F8 and see what happens
[11:07] <El_Che> i hope a lot of bugfixes go into breezy. hibernation for my laptop died between hoary --> breezy
[11:07] <hajiki> IRCMonkey, its really up to you, do you want a really simple setup or a complex one?
[11:07] <ThePyromaniac> ok. i hate running live CD though, lol
[11:07] <ompaul> ThePyromaniac, if you get stuck you can press esc duting that
[11:07] <ThePyromaniac> thanks, cya soon either way
[11:08] <IRCMonkey> sine i do not know a lot, il go with simple
[11:08] <Loevborg> Is a problem known that mouse wheels don't work out-of-the-box in breezy that did in hoary?
[11:08] <ompaul> ThePyromaniac, are you talking about using the live CD only ?
[11:08] <hajiki> IRCMonkey, how much RAM do you have
[11:08] <IRCMonkey> 1.5GB
[11:08] <ThePyromaniac> ompaul no i mean i am using LiveCD when it fails
[11:08] <ompaul> Loevborg, they did on all the boxes I installed it on it
[11:08] <IRCMonkey> 80GB HD
[11:08] <hajiki> IRCMonkey, ok then i would go with a swap partion of the same size or if you think youll use a lot double it
[11:08] <hajiki> IRCMonkey, and then use all the remaining space for /
[11:08] <IRCMonkey> ok so that means i need 3 partitions?
[11:09] <hajiki> no 2
[11:09] <naw> Every time I use ndiswrapper to load the appropriate driver for the NIC, ndiswrapper lists it as invalid driver preventing the lights from coming on on the nic. ne ideas?
[11:09] <IRCMonkey> ok
[11:09] <hajiki> one for swap and one for /
[11:09] <Loevborg> ompaul, weird because on mine as well as on the one of a friend, it doesn't
[11:09] <ompaul> Loevborg, funny mice?
[11:09] <IRCMonkey> what if i want to keep Windows on a partition?
[11:09] <ompaul> IRCMonkey, you can
[11:09] <Loevborg> ompaul, very regular ones (intellimouse explorer)
[11:09] <IRCMonkey> i want to dual boot
[11:09] <hajiki> IRCMonkey, yeah you can
[11:10] <IRCMonkey> so that means 3 partitions, right?
[11:10] <jrr> anyone know what ubuntu patches into the kernel besides the ubuntu logo?
[11:10] <Loevborg> ompaul, it is not required to have the mouse plugged in at a cretain point of time, now isit?
[11:10] <hajiki> IRCMonkey, the install should auto detect that partition if you dont delete it and add it to the boot loader
[11:10] <hajiki> IRCMonkey, do you not already have a windows install?
[11:10] <IRCMonkey> yes
[11:10] <Loevborg> jrr, you can look at the patches in the kernel package source
[11:10] <IRCMonkey> on the 75GB partition
[11:10] <hajiki> IRCMonkey, windows is a bit picky so it has to be the 1st partition, so yes 3 partions if you are going to have windows
[11:10] <Loevborg> jrr, it's probably quite a bit of patching
[11:11] <ompaul> Loevborg, no and yes : it should be there when you are configuring the xserver
[11:11] <jrr> Loevborg: i don't anticipate looking at the diffs will answer my question =]
[11:11] <frank_b> I stopped having sound in my computer. how can I know if it's a hardware problem or a linux problem?
[11:11] <IRCMonkey> ok i got it
[11:11] <agrisb> does anyone has working canon laserbase MF5630 on hoary?
[11:11] <Loevborg> ompaul, is that true?
[11:11] <hajiki> IRCMonkey, okay sorry i missed the fact that you had two disks :)
[11:11] <ompaul> Loevborg, well how else is the xserver going to figure out what mouse is there?
[11:11] <IRCMonkey> no i have 1 HD with 2 partitions
[11:11] <IRCMonkey> its a laptop
