[17:10] <zarac-> does the MBR on hda (xp) matter if i've chosen in bios to boot from hdb (ubuntu) and then in grub i chose to boot windows which is hda? .. =D
[17:10] <MacTheMad> dadehoog: nope, don't see any
[17:10] <velko> Stavros: well if you have used aptitude to install the packages, it will deinstall all automaticlly installed dependencies. this is the only dpkg frontend which does this. if you haven't used aptitude your sole option will be to mark _all_ packages as installed automatically and then mark every one you want to keep as installed manually. but this is a lot of work and you can hose your system if you don't know what you are doing exactly
[17:10] <Jack_Sparrow> !res > RandyboY
[17:10] <tho1> zarac- I don't think so
[17:10] <dadehoog> MacTheMad: ok ... what about syslog ?
[17:10] <Dr_willis> zarac-,  ive seen some bios's however 'switch' drives around when booting that way. hda can become hdb.
[17:10] <Stavros> velko: i installed the standar ubuntu install and i wanted to remove desktop afterwards because it's headless, and i don't need the packages. i'm using aptitude for everything, though
[17:10] <MacTheMad> dadehoog: goes from debug to dmesg.3... no dhcp listed
[17:11] <zarac-> neither did i... but i can't get windows to boot just through changing grub/menu.lst ... think i've tried everything =D
[17:11] <Stavros> velko: can i mark everything as automatically installed and remove a package the graphical ones depend on?
[17:11] <dadehoog> MacTheMad: ok, just to be on the safe side, run sudo /etc/init.d/firestarter restart before we do anything else
[17:11] <zarac-> yeah Dr_willis  .. think mine does that
[17:11] <Dr_willis> zarac-,  so you are not crazy :) heh heh...
[17:11] <velko> Stavros: so you should not have any more graphical packages on your system any more (this is if you have deinstalled the ones i mentioned)
[17:11] <Dr_willis> zarac-,  took me a week to figure out what was going on with my system
[17:11] <kavoor> dadehoog: it says write protect off .. when I search for SanDisk
[17:12] <zarac-> i've tried all hda(0-2,0) in menu.lst .. no luck =/
[17:12] <zarac-> hehe =D
[17:12] <MacTheMad> dadehoog: yes there's syslog & syslog.0 & then there's syslog.1.gz thru syslog.6.gz
[17:12] <Stavros> velko: but i do :/
[17:12] <velko> Stavros: in aptitude to to "installed packages" and press M
[17:12] <Stavros> i have some kde stuff
[17:12] <Stavros> sec
[17:12] <velko> Stavros: this will mark all packages in the section "installed" as automatically installed
[17:12] <zarac-> how did you solve it Dr_willis ?
[17:12] <tho1> Stavros velko are you sure you can boot into a terminal? In suse and others there is a run level for non-graphic, but in Ubuntu all the runlevels are for a desktop
[17:12] <dadehoog> MacTheMad: yeah, tail -n 150 /var/log/syslog |less will show you what's in there ... (press q to exit when you've seen enough, and up/down to move around)
[17:13] <velko> Stavros: be careful. some packges really _need_ to be there in order for your system to work at all
[17:13] <branstrom> Argh. The .img was simply a renamed .iso
[17:13] <Dr_willis> zarac-,  I dident actually. :) i have linux and its mbr on hdb - that is ONLY used to boot linux. if  wanted windows i hit f11 at boot up and selected the other hd.
[17:13] <jed> hi... what are my options if ubuntu doesnt pick up my hsync/vres correctly?
[17:13] <branstrom> velko, dadehoog: ^
[17:14] <dadehoog> branstrom: ah ... that's why it couldn't find an appropriate input file :)
[17:14] <kane77> is there any program available for ubuntu that would make screens of movie? (that little thumbnail view of a movie)
[17:14] <Dr_willis> zarac-,  if you install an os however whith the 2 drives switched.. it can confuse some things.. but since ubuntu uses the UUID - its not much if an issues these days.
[17:14] <Stavros> velko: yes, i'll be careful not to remove those
[17:14] <MacTheMad> dadehoog: someone last night wanted me to do something where I needed to enter the "vertical line" & I don't know how to do that
[17:14] <Jack_Sparrow> jed: manually edit your xorg
[17:14] <Stavros> velko: i did what you said
[17:14] <Dr_willis> !fixres | jed
[17:14] <ubotu> jed: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[17:14] <jed> jack: i have no idea what the hsync/vres settings are for my monitor. couldnt find that info online either
[17:14] <jed> Jack_Sparrow: 5 year old laptop lcd, absolutely no info on it anywhere :(
[17:15] <toby> I'm having problems downloading an image of Studio Ubuntu
[17:15] <Dr_willis> jed,  this is a crt monitor?
[17:15] <Jack_Sparrow> jed: You really need to have that or accept the defaults...
[17:15] <dadehoog> MacTheMad: ok ... you mean the "|" character ? it's probably on you keyboard with the "\" key ... hold down shift, and press the "\" key.
[17:15] <jed> Dr_willis: laptop lcd
[17:15] <Jack_Sparrow> jed: What make and model
[17:15] <Stavros> wow
[17:15] <velko> Stavros: which you good luck. it's funny the first time you do this. i received messages like "please type 'i am aware that i know that i am doing something really stupid right now' in order to remove this package". have fun :-)
[17:15] <jed> Jack_Sparrow: compaq evo n800c
[17:15] <Delvien> jed even after you take it out and look at the back ( the white part after you dis-hinge it) ?
[17:15] <Stavros> "remove kubuntu-desktop" printed a whole list of packages, i'm on the right track it seems
[17:15] <Stavros> thanks :)
[17:15] <tho1> jed you might try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh'...but no guarantee
[17:15] <jed> Delvien: i *REALLY* dont want to take apart my laptop
[17:16] <Jack_Sparrow> jed: let me see what I can find..
[17:16] <MacTheMad> dadehoog: ah, ok ty
[17:16] <Delvien> jed then you wont be able to find the maker
[17:16] <Stavros> oh man, it removes stuff i want to keep :/
[17:16] <velko> Stavros: pressing "m" (this is small caps m) marks a package as manually installed
[17:16] <Dr_willis> jed,  LCD's are normally 60 for the refresh rate. then ya got the res. Is this widescreen? is it NOT working at all? or just not widescreen?
[17:16] <Delvien> jed compaqs utilize 3 diff companies to make their screens , samsung and 2 others i dont remember
[17:16] <Stavros> velko: yes, i have to do it for each one though :/
[17:16] <jed> thol: tried that, it comes up with what i have now...
[17:16] <Delvien> Dr_willis not for 5 year old laptops
[17:16] <Stavros> does reinstalling also mark it as manual?
[17:17] <Delvien> Dr_willis in fact i have a 2003 ibm 40 that has a refresh rate of 50
[17:17] <dadehoog> MacTheMad: that's called the "pipe" operator ...
[17:17] <jed> on 1024, the screen is shifted left by about 2" (meaning the left side of my screen isnt on the monitor and i have a black bar on the right) and all text/lines are fuzzy
[17:17] <Dr_willis> he never stated the age.. :) or did he.
[17:17] <velko> Stavros: i think so. but you don't have to do it for every single one. get frist the "key" packges. they will pull all they dependencies
[17:17] <minus> How do I check the amount of data in a folder thru the terminal?
[17:17] <MacTheMad> dadehoog: ok, all kinds of stuff there
[17:17] <jed> on 800x600 its somewhat managable, 640x480 looks like total shit
[17:17] <Dr_willis> There is that xmodeline generator web site also. that can help make the proper modelines.
[17:18] <Stavros> velko: figures, thanks a lot
[17:18] <minus> I found it... "du -h" did it
[17:18] <toby> Hi,
[17:18] <windego40> hello
[17:18] <MacTheMad> dadehoog: do you want me to pastebin the output?
[17:18] <Dr_willis> ir 800x600 is working. You proberly just need to enter the  proper res's in the xorg.conf. Hopefully. :)
[17:18] <dadehoog> MacTheMad: would be good :)
[17:18] <zarac-> hehe Dr_willis .. ok... yeah i kinda want that.. but both MBR's are messed up... =D i had arch linux installed earlier and that i had install mbr on the winxp hdd =D
[17:18] <windego40> someone know where i can look so i can get my comp to play DVD's?
[17:18] <toby> I went to the Ubuntu Studio web site but I could not work out which image to download
[17:18] <Stavros> windego40: get VLC
[17:19] <bazhang> !dvd | windego40
[17:19] <ubotu> windego40: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[17:19] <jed> Dr_willis: im on 1024 right now, it *works*, just looks rather shitty and i cant really work like this
[17:19] <bazhang> !ohmy | jed
[17:19] <ubotu> jed: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[17:19] <windego40> thank you
[17:20] <bazhang> no problem :}
[17:20] <chickenFuego> jimmy__, did you read me for the bug fix?
[17:20] <MacTheMad> dadehoog: is there a way to select all the text (like windows)? it'll only let me highlight down to the bottom of the page but won't advance to the next screen
[17:21] <Stavros> does "pull" update the working copy if it hasn't diverged?
[17:21] <Stavros> sorry, wrong chan
[17:21] <jed> is there a smart way to guess what your monitors hsync/vref are?
[17:21] <dadehoog> MacTheMad: ok, press "q", then run the command again without "piping" to less (eg. run tail -n 150 /var/log/syslog)
[17:21] <bazhang> jed: you have consulted a prominent search engine on this computer? that should have it
[17:22] <dadehoog> jed: let X probe your monitor, or ... from the manufacturer's website, and occasionally, they're written on the monitor.
[17:22] <boodah> can anyone tell me why i dont see a shared windows folder from my ubuntu box?
[17:22] <jed> bazhang: yes
[17:22] <Zenerek> jed: problems with widescreen?
[17:22] <jed> dade: X did probe my monitor and it resulted it something that sorta works but is still unacceptable
[17:22] <jed> zenerek: no, plain old 1024x768
[17:22] <Zenerek> what?
[17:23] <tho1> jed is this a problem with text mode?
[17:23] <tho1> jed or is your desktop messed up too?
[17:23] <jed> thol: its a problem in X
[17:23] <jed> everything in X looks fuzzy and im missing about 2" of screen space
[17:23] <bazhang> http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11344_na/11344_na.html jed?
[17:23] <EtteSB> anyone here ever got the BBC sites radio player to work? im having problems with it
[17:24] <boodah> i'm looking for some insight here, please
[17:24] <Jman-blah> how can I list files and exclude all files that are .jpg
[17:24] <MacTheMad> !pastebin
[17:24] <jed> baz: yes, the screen is the 15-inch TFT XGA w/ 1024x768
[17:24] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[17:24] <dadehoog> jed: yes, but you asked for the "smart" way :)
[17:24] <Jman-blah> I know there is some way to do it with grep
[17:24] <Noiano> hello
[17:24] <Zenerek> jed: you using a monitor?
[17:24] <bazhang> 1400 x 1050 jed
[17:24] <Noiano> can anyone advise a good repository for amsn (lastest version) for ubuntu 7.10?
[17:24] <jed> baz: trust me, it maxes out at 1024x768 :)
[17:24] <small_stripes> when im selecting a partition to install ubuntu, theres an option logical n something wat is tat

[17:25] <MacTheMad> dadehoog: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49320/
[17:25] <EtteSB> noiano: does it have to be amsn? you could go get pidgin that works well
[17:25] <tho1> jed this is a compaq right?
[17:25] <jed> yes
[17:25] <bazhang> jed: the manufacturer would disagree :}
[17:25] <Noiano> EtteSB, I love amsn :)
[17:25] <boodah> Noian: ithink everyone here is wrapped up in this monitor discussion
[17:25] <jed> err
[17:25] <Jack_Sparrow> jed: You said you couldnt find anything on your laptop.. that is the manual for it
[17:25] <jed> 14"
[17:25] <Azjo> I know this is not relevant but maybe someone knows. anyone has experience with manual backup of harddrives from hp laptops? I got some issue with \Windows\System32\LogFiles\WMI\Rtbackup being 100% locked
[17:25] <EtteSB> noiano: meh, i liked pidgin when i got it so i've never tried it :3
[17:25] <jed> jack: yes, i found that before but it doesnt have the hsync/vref
[17:26] <Noiano> EtteSB, :)
[17:26] <tho1> jed my server is an old compaq 1280 (800x600). don't know if it will help, but those settings are 28-40 horiz and 43-60 vert
[17:26] <Jack_Sparrow> jed: IT is standard xga tft
[17:26] <Zenerek> jed: have you tried the reconfigure xorg thing?
[17:26] <jed> jack: whats the hsync/vref for those?
[17:26] <bazhang> Azjo:  ask in ##windows unless there is ubuntu on there
[17:26] <jed> zenerek: yes
[17:26] <jed> thol: thanks, i'll give it a shot
[17:27] <boodah> can anyone help me figure out why i cant see a shared Windows folder from my ubuntu box?
[17:27] <bazhang> boodah: using samba?
[17:28] <boodah> not sure, realtively new to linux. is it installed natively or do i ned to get it from repo
[17:28] <dadehoog> MacTheMad: ok ... looks ok there ... in the sense that packets are being inspected and passed on, etc. I can't see any dhcp or dhcp error information though ...
[17:28] <bazhang> boodah: ntfs on the windows machine?
[17:28] <tho1> boodah look at fusesmb...it is easy to use ... almost a nobrainer
[17:29] <boodah> ntfs, yes
[17:29] <jed> brb, trying thol's settings
[17:29] <dadehoog> MacTheMad: is there any firewall software running on the Windows XP machine?
[17:29] <EtteSB> is winamp available for linux?
[17:29] <LjL> EtteSB: no
[17:29] <Zenerek> well the truth is i had to edit a custom xorg file to get 1280x720 to work for my hdtv, all i had to know was those numbers vert horz then input into this generator and i pasted it in xork and defined the resolutions
[17:29] <LjL> !players > EtteSB    (EtteSB, see the private message from Ubotu)
[17:29] <tho1> EtteSB xmms is about the same thing
[17:29] <Noiano> !player > noiano
[17:29] <MacTheMad> dadehoog: well I guess that's good news
[17:29] <Yancho> i have this command : nohup supybot My-Linx.conf i want to be run at startup .. how can i do it please?
[17:30] <tho1> EtteSB I think they use the same themes or skins
[17:30] <LjL> !boot > Yancho    (Yancho, see the private message from Ubotu)
[17:30] <LjL> Yancho: i think it would be better to put it in a crontab, though
[17:30] <LjL> !crontab > Yancho    (Yancho, see the private message from Ubotu)
[17:30] <LjL> !cron > Yancho    (Yancho, see the private message from Ubotu)
[17:30] <NewBuntuUser007> hello im in ubuntu 7.10 and have managed to setup comizfusion. my screensaver is still broke though. How was it that I switch to "xscreensaver" once I install the packedge, again????
[17:30] <LjL> !crontab is <alias> cron
[17:30] <ubotu> I'll remember that, LjL
[17:30] <Yancho> y better cron LjL ?
[17:30] <Jed> nope... still looks the same
[17:30] <MacTheMad> dadehoog: yes the built in one and something called peer guardian 2 which I believe is or is similar to a firewall
[17:31] <Jed> anyone here on a 1024x768 laptop screen?
[17:31] <Yancho> i want it just to run at startup
[17:31] <dadehoog> MacTheMad: well, yeah sort of ... in fact, there seem to be packets from machines accessing the internet via the gateway ... (eg. SRC is eth1, destination is not local net)
[17:31] <NewBuntuUser007> my laptop runs at that big
[17:31] <LjL> Yancho: 1) if the bot crashes, cron will restart it automatically 2) if you put it in /etc/rc.local, it will be run as root, and you REALLY do not want that
[17:31] <erUSUL> EtteSB: use audacious or beep media player they are clones of winamp
[17:31] <dadehoog> MacTheMad: ok, for these tests ... DISABLE all firewalls on the XP machine - for testing.
[17:31] <NewBuntuUser007> its not powred up Right Now,,,,, wry?
[17:31] <velko> Yancho: if you need it only on boot you can put it in a script and let it execute it when the computer is started
[17:31] <gostone> hello all
[17:31] <MacTheMad> dadehoog: ok
[17:32] <Yancho> LjL but if i do it every 10seconds it will start a new instance every 10 seconds ey ?
[17:32] <velko> Yancho: i thik LjL's suggestion is right
[17:32] <LjL> Yancho: no, supybot checks if it's already running, and doesn't start another bot if it detects that it is
[17:32] <gostone> can anyone advise me on flash plug in proble, I have tried re installing, and still firefox does not recognize flash plug in
[17:32] <LjL> Yancho: anyway, 10 seconds seems a bit overkill, make it one or five minute
[17:32] <tho1> Jed I have 1280x800, and also 1024.768 in my xorg.conf for my toshiba a200. Would you like me to pastebin the xorg.conf for you?
[17:33] <Yancho> ow ic .. so its soemthing supybot does .. no need for me to do it ey?
[17:33] <Jed> thol: just the monitor section
[17:33] <dadehoog> MacTheMad: ok ... now, if you still can't get a dhcp lease with WinXP, try and configure it with a static IP (<IP_ADDRESS> for example) as a test.
[17:33] <kavoor> dadehoog: thanks , its working now
[17:33] <tho1> Jed http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49321/
[17:33] <MacTheMad> dadehoog: ok done but it's still struggling when trying to pull down an ip
[17:33] <dadehoog> kavoor: ok, what was the problem ?
[17:33] <Azlan7000> LjL: Remove Flash, Gnash and FF itself from Synaptics and install them again
[17:33] <LjL> Yancho: well, test it to make sure. but i run supybot, so i'm pretty sure about it.
[17:34] <dadehoog> MacTheMad: by struggle, you mean failing ?
[17:34] <LjL> Azlan7000: wrong nickname
[17:34] <Yancho> ow ic .. great LjL :)
[17:34] <gostone> should I install flash after firefox install?
[17:34] <tho1> Jed unfortunately there are only modelines for 1280x800
[17:34] <Azlan7000> sorry
[17:34] <Azlan7000> wasnt reading properly
[17:34] <MacTheMad> dadehoog: also here is what I was able to pull up off the net on the toredo tunneling thing... http://www.hardwaregeeks.com/board/showthread.php?t=18623

[17:35] <kavoor> dadehoog: I reboot the system. Went to Windows and formatted it as fat32.
[17:35] <EtteSB> how do i find out if something uses winamp API?
[17:35] <MacTheMad> dadehoog: yes unable to connect to my dhcp server
[17:35] <bazhang> EtteSB: ask in ##windows
[17:35] <Jack_Sparrow> tho1: FLash is currently broken
[17:36] <EtteSB> bazhang: its a linux prog that im wondering about tho >>
[17:36] <Azlan7000> I had that firefox + flash problem yesterday remove everything and reinstall.
[17:36] <tho1> Jack_Sparrow ?

[17:37] <MacTheMad> dadehoog: yes I get a connection when I hard code to <IP_ADDRESS> with windows but when I do the same trying to install ubuntu on hdb it can't connect to the repository mirrors
[17:37] <Demonho-br> crush_groove, maybe no, but my sound is strange in amsn too.. im running gutsy
[17:37] <Yancho> LjL is it like this : 5,10 * * * * nohup supybot My-Linx.conf
[17:38] <Demonho-br> crush_groove, anyway how can i get this extras pkge ?
[17:38] <Azlan7000> gostone: remove Gnash ,flash, firefox then reinstall firefox, flash less than 20 sec to do that.
[17:38] <NewBuntuUser007> jebus IRC is teh lag w/ all this COMPIZ running n going on this gForce2 card   =D

[17:38] <NewBuntuUser007> course synaptic is up too, a game of chess, AND firefox
[17:38] <Demonho-br> crush_groove, something is crashing the capture =\
[17:39] <dadehoog> MacTheMad: that's bizarre ... can't explain or rationalise that one, other than a slightly different config.
[17:39] <tho1> chealdo yes, but without redirection you needto open port 3389
[17:39] <Jack_Sparrow> tho1: Tab complete... darn
[17:39] <gostone> ok thanks Azlan7000, i will try that right now, what about marking firefox for reinstall?
[17:39] <Jack_Sparrow> gostone: Flash is currently broken per the channel topic

[17:40] <NewBuntuUser007> i found the note i made myself how to fix the ScreenSaver. why isnt that info in the help pages I wonder? or just like to that elijahofgren site  etc. Someth8ing.
[17:40] <kane77> is there any program available for ubuntu that would make screens of movie? (that little thumbnail view of a movie)
[17:40] <treetop> set gui_tweaks 4
[17:40] <Jack_Sparrow> Zenerek: Yes, flash is currently broken.
[17:40] <Yancho> ow oki thanks alot LjL :)
[17:40] <NewBuntuUser007> !screensaver
[17:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about screensaver - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[17:40] <Demonho-br> crush_groove, if possible, i would like to get the pkg.. please
[17:40] <MacTheMad> dadehoog: you're not the 1st one that it stumped LOL
[17:41] <chealdo> thol: actually my brother in law likes to see the power of ubuntu rdesktop in controlling his computer and his physical computer is in saudi and im in the philippines is that possible?
[17:41] <Malachi> kane77: Yeah, try ManSlideShow
[17:41] <Zenerek>  Jack_Sparrow: not for me
[17:41] <tho1> chealdo several things you need to do. First enable remote access inwindows xp. Only xp pro has this feature...xp home does not.
[17:41] <velko> MasterShrek: rename the file /etc/rc2.d/S21kdm to /etc/rc2.d/off_S21kdm and reboot. kdm will not be started and you'll be able to use startx
[17:41] <dadehoog> MacTheMad: If you can configure WinXP with a static IP, and access the internet then NAT is fine. If you can't get an IP with DHCP , then there's a problem with DHCP ... but I don't quite know where to start debugging that one ... As for not being able to access the internet from Ubuntu using a static IP ... the only option is really user error :x
[17:41] <tho1> chealdo do you have a router at home, or is the computer connected directly to the internet?
[17:41] <Jack_Sparrow> Zenerek: Then I would assume you have not updated it within the last two weeks
[17:41] <MasterShrek> velko, i konw that, already set up like that, i just dont want to use kde for my desktop when i type startx, i want it to be fluxbox and i dont know how to change it in ubuntu
[17:42] <Jack_Sparrow> Zenerek: If he tries to install it now.. it will bork
[17:42] <MasterShrek> i spose if i used kdm and set default with that...
[17:42] <kane77> Malachi, thanx
[17:42] <m[a]tt> heyho
[17:42] <dadehoog> MacTheMad: I would guess the problem with accessing the internet through the gateway from the Ubuntu installer relates to incorrect configuration of the network interface ...
[17:42] <m[a]tt> is there a easy way to get 5.1 sound in ubuntu?
[17:42] <crush_groove> Demonho-br, do wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/gutsy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list && wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update  then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras w32codecs libdvdread3 libdvdcss2
[17:42] <velko> MasterShrek: i think the file you are looking for is .xprofile in your home dir. google it to be sure
[17:43] <chealdo> thol: i have wireless broadband
[17:43] <Jack_Sparrow> Zenerek: There is a workaround, but the problem will be when the real fix comes down, it could create yet another issue with people that used the workaround
[17:43] <dadehoog> MacTheMad: possibly wireless, possibly routing, and more likely DNS ...
[17:43] <tho1> chealdo your brother won't be able to see what you are doing on his computer...windows won't allow desktop sharing with rdp
[17:43] <Malachi> kane77: ManDVD should work as well.
[17:43] <Khisanth> MasterShrek: what is in your ~/.xinitrc?
[17:43] <Malachi> kane77: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=38347
[17:44] <kane77> Malachi, I was looking at it's package right now on getdeb :)
[17:44] <Demonho-br> crush_groove, thank u !
[17:44] <MacTheMad> dadehoog: well ty very much for all your assistance...  :D By the way, it's ManSlide, not ManSlideshow, if you have trouble finding it.
[17:44] <MasterShrek> Khisanth, no such file
[17:44] <dadehoog> MacTheMad: it sounds like you're missing a vital piece of information when you're doing the Ubuntu installer ... I'm off now, but if you're around in 12 or so hours, we can work through the installer if you like ?
[17:44] <Jack_Sparrow> !flashissues
[17:44] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[17:45] <chealdo> thol: but i did rdp with lan well anytway whats next step
[17:45] <MasterShrek> velko, no such file either...this is really easy in slackware, its xwmconfig, just a little menu
[17:45] <Demonho-br> crush_groove, i made my question few minutes ago, do you think someone will read it yet ?
[17:45] <chealdo> xp pro
[17:45] <crush_groove> Demonho-br,  yes
[17:45] <tho1> chealdo you will need to open port 3389 on your wifi router so you can get out to your brothers computer
[17:45] <Demonho-br> crush_groove, okay ! =)
[17:45] <crush_groove>  Demonho-br  its kinda  "take a #' process
[17:45] <tho1> chealdo if he has a router at his end, he will need to open the same port
[17:45] <Demonho-br> i see
[17:46] <tho1> chealdo and over that distance you will find rdp to be very slow. I have tried it from Ireland to the arctic, and it was unusable.
[17:46] <chealdo> thol: how can i access my router
[17:46] <velko> MasterShrek: google for xinitrc or xprofile (i can't remember which is the right one). you create the file with the name of the window manager (and other programs you want to run). it's ok the files are not there. just make sure you are using the right one
[17:46] <tho1> chealdo I'm not sure how you would configure your router...don't know what router you have, and don't know details about any but my own
[17:47] <MacTheMad> dadehoog: well there's no wireless on this ip & routing... well this computer is the router... dns could be... I did try to set up bind but believe I've changed all those files back after giving up on getting bind configured
[17:47] <tho1> chealdo quite often you access the router as 192.168.xx.1...the xx changes for each network, might be 0 might be 1 or ??
[17:47] <Zenerek>  Jack_Sparrow: have latest 9.048.0ubuntu11-dapper2
[17:47] <MacTheMad> dadehoog: have a great day and ty... gotta go now myself
[17:47] <dadehoog> MacTheMad: yeah, we set the DHCP server up to avoid any need for BIND ...
[17:47] <chealdo> thol: well ok......how about gotomypc or pc anywhere is it possible?
[17:47] <tho1> chealdo you can usually use firefox addressed to http://192.168.xx.1 to access the config
[17:48] <Jack_Sparrow> Zenerek: Did you read the info from the bot on flashissues
[17:48] <dadehoog> Cheers MacTheMad and good luck
[17:48] <velko> MasterShrek: it seems like .xinitrc is the right one (the credit goes to Khisanth)
[17:48]  * Khisanth uses fluxbox as well
[17:48] <tho1> chealdo don't know about those...I use NoMachine's NXserver and NXclient, but there is no NXserver for windows, only linux
[17:49] <MasterShrek> thanks velko and Khisanth
[17:49] <levander> Are there recommendations for partition sizes?  I'm mainly interested in how big my /boot partition should be.  Is there a Ubuntu web page discussing this?
[17:49] <mrynit> when i apt-get to install eclipse it get the old version 3.2 but i need version 3.3. how do i set up the packagemanager to get the new version of eclipse ?
[17:49] <chealdo> thol: how slow is it even when your at the speed of broadband?
[17:50] <kane77> Malachi, hmm.. ManDVD doesn't quite do what I need :/
[17:50] <Zenerek>  Jack_Sparrow: just now..not sure i get what it means...by it
[17:50] <Malachi> kane77: Then try ManSlide.
[17:50] <tho1> chealdo rdp and vnc were useless over broadband, but NX seems to work much faster
[17:50] <Malachi> kane77:
[17:50] <Malachi> http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Manslide?content=52227
[17:50] <Malachi> Oops. :P
[17:50] <chealdo> thol:gonna surf about nx
[17:50]  * genii sips a coffee
[17:51] <_NiC> when I boot up ubuntu now, I get a little dialog-box saying "Internal error" and "failed to initializa HAL!" - any idea what I can do fix this?
[17:51] <Jack_Sparrow> Zenerek: Glad your flash is working.. but it is currently broken if you try to install...
[17:51] <kane77> Malachi, well I guess manslide turns pictures into video, I need program to turn video into one image with snapshots at given time interval...
[17:51] <toby> Really can't seem to download Ubuntu Studio?
[17:52] <toby> there there seem to be an issue with burning
[17:52] <Malachi> kane77: OH!
[17:52] <Demonho-br> crush_groove, ohhh... i tried to check the sound capture with the audio recoder everything seems be ok..
[17:52] <Jack_Sparrow> toby: they have a channel of their own if you need help
[17:52] <toby> what is it?
[17:52] <crush_groove> after adding restricted?
[17:52] <Demonho-br> crush_groove, so.. i think the problem is my Wireless Internet, maybe its slow today and because it my sound is bad when i use amsn or skype.. right ?
[17:52] <Zenerek>  Jack_Sparrow: ah i thought there was a problem with the general release...topics a bit vague..in details
[17:52] <crush_groove> Demonho-br,  I donty know
[17:53] <Demonho-br> crush_groove, well. i dont know because i didnt try it before. but i tried the call test in skype again, and the sound is very bad yet.. nothing changed
[17:53] <andrew-m> hello, i have been reading that ubuntu isnt as quick as other distros, as its packages and kernel are compiled for i383, when most processors are i686. Does this cause a big problem with speed, and if so can it be solved, by downloading an i686 kernel for example?
[17:53] <Jack_Sparrow> toby: Not sure..   I would try #UbuntuStudio

[17:53] <crush_groove> nodz
[17:53] <toby> Thanks
[17:53] <Demonho-br> crush_groove, so.. if in audio recorder everything is ok, and in softwares that use Internet arent right. i think the problem is my Internet

[18:07] <EtteSB> darx: well, i've heard from atleast 2 peeps who couldn't get it to work
[18:07] <HardDisk> waseem, just install it by following the instructions to add the repo from the wine website, then just install your windows app as you normally would, providing it's not some dx10 game

[18:08] <waseem> B-rabbit: do you know of a beginners tutorial on how its use it
[18:08] <darx> EtteSB: I installed flash manually but the problem is I don't know how to get it working for firefox 3
[18:08] <aro> darx, are you having flash problems? I found a fix that involves installing an older version
[18:08] <aro> darx, oh nevermind, I haven't tried on ff3
[18:08] <waseem> B-rabbit: i have installed it but dont know how to launch exe's, when i say do it with wine it does nothing
[18:08] <darx> aro: i need to install flash for firefox3
[18:08] <darx> works fine with ff2
[18:09] <B-rabbit> waseem, http://www.winehq.org/site/documentation
[18:09] <B-rabbit> waseem, you will find everything there is to know about wine there ;)
[18:09] <waseem> B-rabbit: i'll have a look.
[18:09] <tacone> does the standard ubuntu install  contains mono-based apps ?
[18:10] <lampje> Beginners question: I bought an ASUS M2A-VM motherboard but I can't install Ubuntu. It simply stops with an empty screen. Anyone an idea?

[18:10] <aro> lampje: you mean when booting into live cd?
[18:10] <HardDisk> waseem, you have to check the wine site to see what you're trying to run is able to run it or not
[18:10] <darx> jack_sparrow: I installed flash and it works fine with ff2. I need to know how to install for ff3. about:plugin under ff3 shows nothing
[18:10] <HardDisk> run it in CLI mode
[18:10] <harushimo> I have a question
[18:10] <aro> lampje: have you tried the option to boot using safe graphics mode?
[18:11] <Jack_Sparrow> darx: Sorry, cant help with that..
[18:11] <aanderse> thanks HardDisk, gonna try right now
[18:11] <aro> darx: isn't ff3 still beta?
[18:11] <tacone> does the standard ubuntu install  contains mono-based apps ?
[18:11] <HardDisk> waseem, run wine <name of app> in terminal to see the error, not all apps will run perfectly under wine, like I said especially some games
[18:11] <waseem> HardDisk: I have not checked :P, but i think it is runable
[18:11] <harushimo> my question is I install some stuff from the ubuntu website to play dvds, since I install it, it broken totem
[18:11] <lampje> Caro: yes I did. The system tells: Kernel alive and then dies again
[18:11] <harushimo> how do I fix totem
[18:11] <darx> aro: yup.. but its much faster than ff2.
[18:11] <waseem> HardDisk: i see, well its a game emulator so ill go check on the wine site
[18:11] <HardDisk> waseem, mind if I ask what the app is?
[18:11] <LjL> harushimo: stuff to play DVD from the ubuntu website? what exactly?
[18:12] <waseem> Winkawaks
[18:12] <HardDisk> waseem, there are native linux game emulators
[18:12] <harushimo> !dvd
[18:12] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[18:12] <erUSUL> tacone: tomboy ??
[18:12] <tacone> harushimo: did you try to reinstall it ?
[18:12] <HardDisk> you might want to try those first, before you try a windows emulator
[18:12] <tacone> thanks erUSUL
[18:12] <HardDisk> like desmume for the nintendo ds, or Zsnes for snes emulation
[18:12] <B-rabbit> waseem, open a terminal, type "wine" and drag the exe file and drop it in
[18:12] <waseem> HardDisk: yes i have mame, which works but it has limited options. So if i can get this to work it would be great
[18:12] <HardDisk> ah
[18:12] <HardDisk> well do what B-rabbit said
[18:13] <HardDisk> and see what the error is
[18:13] <waseem> thanks
[18:13] <lampje> Sorry aro, I made a typo in your name. Yes I started in the safe display mode. This told me that the Kernel was alive and then died
[18:13] <harushimo> LjL-i install this /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh
[18:13] <waseem> i'll report what the prob is
[18:13] <HardDisk> but make sure you added the repo properly and updated your wine first
[18:13] <harushimo> how do I reinstall a package
[18:13] <aro> lampje: that sounds beyond my experience, sorry
[18:13] <B-rabbit> waseem, and one more thing take out the quotes :0
[18:13] <B-rabbit> :)
[18:14] <lampje> aro, thanks.
[18:14] <PaulEU> hey!
[18:14] <LjL> harushimo: how did it break totem precisely? to reinstall a package, sudo apt-get --reinstall install package
[18:14] <PaulEU> I have question: where can I find package kernel-module-* for vmware-server? In version 7.04 there were all packages, but in 7.10 I can't find - why?
[18:14] <waseem> B-rabbit: thanks :p im quite alright with the terminal so i knew lol
[18:14] <lampje> Maybe someone else who made Ubunu 7.10 working on an Asus M2A-VM motherboard?
[18:14] <PaulEU> is it possible to get all required package ?
[18:14] <anquietas> Greetings.
[18:14] <B-rabbit> waseem, did u get your application working?
[18:14] <harushimo> LjL- I install those packages. every since, totem hasn't worked properly
[18:14] <anquietas> How can I choose my own /home folder after a completed installation?
[18:15] <aro> lampje: what version of Ubuntu? 7.10?
[18:15] <small_stripes> i need help installin ubuntu on manual mode
[18:15] <small_stripes> how should i partition my drive
[18:15] <lampje> aro: I tried both the x86 and 64 bit versions
[18:15] <waseem> B-rabbit: no i am still trying it
[18:15] <B-rabbit> cool
[18:15] <yimmmy> no soup for you
[18:16] <anquietas> small_stripes, One / mount (>2GB), one swap(>512MB), one /home (optional)
[18:16] <waseem> B-rabbit: it says it is creating a directory for it and has not done anything else
[18:16] <small_stripes> for root = 2gb..will it expand more if i wanna install other desktop enviroment if..lets say i wan kde?
[18:17] <hairulfr> Anyone gotten the Ati driver working with an IBM r51?
[18:17] <anquietas> small_stripes, as I said... it's best if it has more space than 2GB.
[18:17] <harushimo> when I try reinstalling, its say invalid operation for totem
[18:17] <PaulEU> nobody know?
[18:17] <waseem> B-rabbit: wine: cannot find '/media/disk/Documents'
[18:17] <small_stripes> ok cool..thanks will try now ..again
[18:17] <aro> lampje: according to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3918259 disabling the HPET option in BIOS is fixing it for some people
[18:17] <Jack_Sparrow> small_stripes: How much drive space do you have to work with?
[18:17] <small_stripes> 20gb
[18:17] <aro> lampje: have you tried that? if not, it sounds like it's worth a try.
[18:17] <small_stripes> say 19
[18:18] <anquietas> 10 root, 1 swap, rest home, small_stripes.
[18:18] <small_stripes> okies
[18:18] <small_stripes> thanks alot anquietas
[18:18] <B-rabbit> waseem, what application r u trying to run in wine?
[18:18] <Jack_Sparrow> small_stripes: agreed
[18:19] <waseem> B-rabbit: winkawaks, its an emulator and doesnt need to install.
[18:19] <anquietas> Jack_Sparrow, could you please try to help me? :D
[18:19] <lampje> aro: I already tried a lot (looking on the net for some hours) but I haven't tried that. I'll give it a try tonight, thabks
[18:19] <invalidsyntax101> i just installed linux and compiz is da shiznit
[18:19] <ychat> hijay, every time I log in I have to open network-settings to set the "location" so that my wireless connection works. How can I make it default to a given "location"?  I guess "location" means wireless settings profiles.
[18:19] <kbidd> is anyone using the syslog-ng package for 7.10?  When I install it, and try to run syslog-ng, it exits immediatly with "Syntax error at 352"
[18:19] <Jack_Sparrow> anquietas: I will try...  what is the question
[18:19] <anquietas> Jack_Sparrow, I need to know how to set a new /home directory in 7.10 after a completed installation.
[18:19] <Phopsy> Hey, I'm running Feisty and getting lock-ups every single time I boot up on the login screen - this may be connected to the latest kernel updates.
[18:19] <vincenz> Hello, I'm having issues with connecting to wireless. With the livecd and with LTS it worked fine.  I've now upgraded to 7.10 and for some reason I can't access wifi anymore
[18:19] <Jack_Sparrow> anquietas: np, I have a good link.. do you have a spare partiton already?
[18:20] <kbidd> vincenz, what wireless card do you use?
[18:20] <vincenz> kbidd: erm, let me check
[18:20] <invalidsyntax101> ubuntu is awesome im in love
[18:20] <anquietas> Yes, Jack_Sparrow. I changed my distro and left my original /home directory unformatted in one of my HDD's partitions. Now the new /home folder is on the same partition as /root is... and it sucks.
[18:20] <vincenz> kbidd: any way to check
[18:21] <vincenz> kbidd: it's a Dell Latitude D610, from 2005
[18:21] <vincenz> kbidd: Intel Pro 2200 wireless
[18:21] <Jack_Sparrow> anquietas: Np.. follow the last part of this tutorial on how to set sep home partition...
[18:21] <kbidd> k, 1 sec... my laptop is a D600, so its more or less the same
[18:21] <Jack_Sparrow> anquietas: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome
[18:21] <B-rabbit> waseem, let me get this cleared you  r  trying to run winkawaks which is an windows application via wine....am i right?
[18:21] <anquietas> Will I lose the /home partition's content, Jack_Sparrow ?
[18:21] <waseem> B-rabbit: yes
[18:21] <B-rabbit> ok
[18:21] <Phopsy> Hey, I'm running Feisty and getting lock-ups every single time I boot up on the login screen - this may be connected to the latest kernel updates. There's no issue with my hardware as I'm now running a Live CD and I have scanned the HDDs with fsck and badblocks. Is there anything else I can try to diagnose it with?
[18:22] <Jack_Sparrow> anquietas: No...  you will just be pointing to it, not formatting it
[18:22] <B-rabbit> do you know where ".wine" is?
[18:22] <harushimo> this is exactly what I did to get dvd playback
[18:22] <harushimo> sudo apt-get install libdvdread3 libxine1-ffmpeg totem-xine build-essential debhelper fakeroot
[18:22] <harushimo> sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh
[18:22] <anquietas> Cool, thanks! Jack_Sparrow
[18:22] <harushimo> this broke totem
[18:23] <Jack_Sparrow> anquietas: Ask if you have any questions but is should be simple enough..  Just editing fstab if I remember right
[18:23] <B-rabbit> waseem, do u know where to find the ".wine" directory?
[18:23] <Jack_Sparrow> harushimo: Please dont paste into the channel...  We have a pastebin for that.. see /topic for link and info
[18:24] <kbidd> vincenz, sorry... mine is the Intel 1350, not the 2200
[18:24] <waseem> B-rabbit: yes i am there
[18:24] <Phopsy> Hey, I'm running Feisty and getting lock-ups every single time I boot up on the login screen - this may be connected to the latest kernel updates. There's no issue with my hardware as I'm now running a Live CD and I have scanned the HDDs with fsck and badblocks. Is there anything else I can try to diagnose it with?
[18:24] <treetop_> anybody ever work with a blank desktop, e.g. no icons or taskbars?
[18:25] <invalidsyntax101> why no icons lol
[18:25] <vincenz> kbidd: it used to work fine before I swapped hds and reinstalled. And then when I reinstalled and started at LTS, it worked fine too, it's just after upgrading that it seems not to wor anymore
[18:25] <vincenz> kbidd: what config files should  look at
[18:25] <Jack_Sparrow> Phopsy: latest feisty updates worked here.  I gotta ask if you EVER used automatix or envy scripts... (Both bad ideas by the way)
[18:25] <B-rabbit> waseem, have you installed  winkawaks? if you have than navigate to the ".wine" directory...
[18:26] <harushimo> Jack_Sparrow: sorry, it was an accident
[18:26] <waseem> B-rabbit: how can i tell i have installed it?
[18:26] <Phopsy> Jack_Sparrow: Hmm. I MAY have used Automatix at some point to get some codecs. I actually can't remember, but probably.
[18:26] <Jack_Sparrow> harushimo: np.. three lines is allowed... but still frowned upon...
[18:26] <B-rabbit> waseem, ok.....lets start again :)
[18:26] <waseem> B-rabbit: the application doesnt really need to be installed, you just unzip it and use it
[18:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Phopsy: And there falls another victim of automatix
[18:26] <HardDisk> Phopsy, you don't need automatix for codecs, just sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[18:26] <waseem> B-rabbit: in windows that is:P
[18:27] <Phopsy> Jack_Sparrow: Never needed Envy on Feisty, the Restricted Drivers seemed to work perfectly.
[18:27] <B-rabbit> waseem, ahh...but u r using linux
[18:27] <kyu_flux> hey all, when I try to install a new theme (gnome) it says it's correctly installed but it doesn't show up in the list... how do I fix that?
[18:27] <Phopsy> Jack_Sparrow: Yeah, I know, but ... well, mixed reviews, let's say. So, is there anything I can do about it?
[18:27] <harushimo> Jack_Sparrow: I put my problem on the paste bin
[18:27] <Jack_Sparrow> !automatix > Phopsy:
[18:27] <waseem> B-rabbit: yes, and trying to use it through wine
[18:27] <mvlraja> Hi room
[18:27] <HardDisk> envy has been known to break on occasions, that's why in the past most advisors wouldn't have advised to use it.
[18:28] <mvlraja> is    IRC council here?
[18:28] <Jack_Sparrow> Phopsy: Sorry, not much.  As the link says, best to reinstall..
[18:28] <harushimo> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49326/--if anyone can help me it would be great
[18:28] <B-rabbit> waseem, ok...open a terminal and type "wine" (do not press enter yet)
[18:28] <vincenz> Anyone know what I have to configure to get my intel pro wireless 2200 to work??  It used to work fine in gutsy, then I installed a new HD.  I installed LTS, it worked fine, then installed edgy, it worked fine too.  Then since feisty and now in gutsy, it seems not to work
[18:28] <Jack_Sparrow> harushimo: link not found
[18:29] <harushimo> what
[18:29] <waseem> B-rabbit: yes then?
[18:29] <Phopsy> Jack_Sparrow: Reinstall? Over my dead body, it took me so long to sort this lot out ...
[18:29] <B-rabbit> waseem, then navigate to your  winkawaks.exe file and drag and drop it in the terminal
[18:29]  * Phopsy cries
[18:29] <harushimo> i'm looking at the link right now
[18:29] <invalidsyntax101> umm im missing my close top panel on windows?
[18:29] <waseem> B-rabbit: yes done that
[18:29] <Jack_Sparrow> harushimo: Ok.. I see it...  gotta edit it a tad
[18:29] <harushimo> i think my text was also part of hyperlink
[18:29] <B-rabbit> waseem, and then take out the quotes and press enter
[18:29] <Phopsy> !automatix
[18:29] <ubotu> automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe »
[18:30] <invalidsyntax101> actually my entire top panel on all windows are gone ack
[18:30] <waseem> B-rabbit: yes done that
[18:30] <B-rabbit> waseem, is it working
[18:30] <B-rabbit> ?
[18:30] <Sir_Sid> Can you install multiple distros, using the same /boot and /home mounts
[18:30] <waseem> B-rabbit: wine: cannot find '/media/disk/Documents'
[18:30] <invalidsyntax101> anyone help?
[18:31] <Jack_Sparrow> Phopsy: Automatix seems to break many systems when they dont integrate with the updates
[18:31] <ifireball> Sir_Sid: same home... kinda ok... same /boot, not recommended though possible
[18:31] <mvlraja> I have a problem installing Ubuntu 7.04.
[18:31] <mvlraja> After selecting to install , I can see:
[18:31] <mvlraja> Loading ..linux kernal.. index.. 100%
[18:31] <mvlraja> blank and a small bar moved left and right
[18:31] <mvlraja> bar stopped moving. and it started increasing from left to right (as if downloading)
[18:31] <mvlraja> at the moment (visually: around 90%) is done screen went blank with a cursor blink
[18:31] <mvlraja> Finally, error message:

[18:31] <Jack_Sparrow> harushimo: I got it...   you also install build essentials....  what are you compiling
[18:31] <mvlraja> CPU is still running ie processor led blinking and cd led blinking.
[18:31] <mvlraja> Please stroll up.   HElp
[18:31] <Sir_Sid> ifireball, why is it not reccomended? I dont want to redo grub everytime I add or remove something
[18:32] <vincenz> For some reason, my wifi card won't get an ip from the DHCPDISCOVER
[18:32] <mvlraja> After selecting to boot, I can see: Loading ..linux kernal.. index.. 100% blank and a small bar moved left and right bar stopped moving. and it started increasing from left to right (as if downloading) at the moment (visually: around 90%) is done screen went blank with a cursor blink Finally, error message:       H: 30 - 54 Hz V: 50-160Hz      PC display setting correct? is displayed on monitor and after a while monitor is getting switched off.

[18:32] <B-rabbit> waseem, do what i just said now again, and pastebin the output
[18:32] <Jack_Sparrow> mvlraja: Stop  read /topic
[18:32] <harushimo> Jack_Sparrow: libdvdread2
[18:32] <harushimo> I mean 3
[18:32] <Phopsy> Jack_Sparrow: Is there anything else you think might be the problem? One thing I thought of is that I moved house yesterday, but I'm sure that can't be the problem!
[18:32] <waseem> B-rabbit: whats pastebin?
[18:32] <B-rabbit> !pastebin | waseem
[18:32] <ubotu> waseem: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[18:32] <Phopsy> !pastebin
[18:32] <ogre> hey guys, I'm trying to install weatherget and am not sure I understand the directions. here they are. can anyone tell me how to do this? http://pastebin.com/m65c511bf
[18:32] <ifireball> Sir_Sid: because kernel images from different distros might collide (e.g. same file name, different kernel...)
[18:32] <Zathraz> hi. I have system with a Live CD running without a mouse. I switched to console. Now I want to reboot the system to the installed OS on disk but also to eject the CD currently mounted (on which is ubuntu). What is the root password please or how to commence otherwise?
[18:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Phopsy: Post your sources.list to the pastebin...
[18:33] <Sir_Sid> ifireball, I see thanks
[18:33] <ifireball> Sir_Sid: in any case, there will only be one active grub, and I do belive there s little if any need to separate /boot from / nowdays
[18:33] <ogre> Zathraz,  i think its just root
[18:33] <Phopsy> Jack_Sparrow: I'll get to it
[18:33] <invalidsyntax101> i still have to topp panel to drag and close windows?
[18:34] <ParanoyaM> Hi guys,
[18:34] <Jack_Sparrow> harushimo: sudo apt-get install libdvdread3 libxine1-ffmpeg totem-xine            >>>build-essential  <<<   ?
[18:34] <Phopsy> Where is sources.list in the filesystem?
[18:34] <frojnd> how can I burn an iso on cd ?
[18:34] <invalidsyntax101> phos
[18:34] <ParanoyaM> please can anybody help me to set up gateway for internet
[18:34] <invalidsyntax101> apt folder
[18:34] <ogre> frojnd,  use k3b
[18:34] <invalidsyntax101> etc/apt/
[18:34] <Sir_Sid> ifireball, but when you remove your second distro, wouldnt you lose the grub file?
[18:34] <frojnd> ogra, I have ubuntu
[18:34] <yaserxp> Hi all. Is anyone using the D-Link DSL 200 Modem with Ubuntu?
[18:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Phopsy: /etc/apt/sources.list
[18:34] <B-rabbit> frojnd, is that a joke?
[18:34] <harushimo> Jack_Sparrow: I did that
[18:35] <invalidsyntax101> i still have to topp panel to drag and close windows?
[18:35] <Zathraz> ogre. thanks, but it is not
[18:35] <harushimo> Jack_Sparrow: totem still exits itself
[18:35] <waseem> B-rabbit: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49331/
[18:35] <ogre> Zathraz,  just hit the power button for a sec and hit enter then
[18:35] <Jack_Sparrow> harushimo: exactly my point...   and I refer you to my earlier question, what are you trying to compile and or where did you get those indstructions
[18:35] <ParanoyaM> i am using a rule : /sbin/iptables -s <IP_ADDRESS> -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE but man with IP: <IP_ADDRESS> can't reach internet
[18:35] <invalidsyntax101> is there a reason for no top panel on windows
[18:35] <ParanoyaM> i enabled ip_forwarding
[18:35] <waseem> B-rabbit: i think it may have to do with the spaces in "documents and settings"
[18:35] <Phopsy> Jack_Sparrow: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49332/
[18:36] <waseem> B-rabbit: ill try it after pasting to root
[18:36] <Zathraz> both su - without password and with password 'root'  do not work. A powerbutton is a bit tricky as it is a htpc system so it's not easily accessable
[18:36] <Jack_Sparrow> frojnd: Right click the iso and write to disk/cd
[18:36] <harushimo> Jack_Sparrow: I was trying to compile to recognize my dvds.
[18:37] <harushimo> Jack_Sparrow: They would get recognize by Ubuntu but not play in mplayer, xine, or totem
[18:37] <ParanoyaM> hey, does anybody know how to enable ip forwarding?
[18:37] <LjL> !root | Zathraz, ogre
[18:37] <ubotu> Zathraz, ogre: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[18:37] <ifireball> Sir_Sid: if you don't tell it otherwise, the last distro you install will overwrite the MBR with its own grub, hopefully, it would detect the other distros and configure its grub accordingly, otherwise you'd need to do it manually...
[18:37] <LjL> !iptables > ParanoyaM    (ParanoyaM, see the private message from Ubotu)
[18:37] <Jack_Sparrow> Phopsy: Yep.. you used automatix and that is the root of your problem and no we cant help you fix it.
[18:37] <tarsin> good morning.  i've install 7.10 server.  i'd like to install X.  whats the best way to do this? is there a meta-package i can get that will do everything for me?  something like `apt-get install x-gnome` would be awesome
[18:37] <ParanoyaM> LjL please repeat
[18:37] <ParanoyaM> i closed that window
[18:37] <LjL> !iptables | ParanoyaM
[18:37] <ubotu> ParanoyaM: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[18:37] <invalidsyntax101> nv got it
[18:37] <Jack_Sparrow> harushimo: So you did more than just add the codecs per our instructions...
[18:38] <LjL> ParanoyaM: to just *enable* it, it's sudo echo "1" >>/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
[18:38] <erUSUL> tarsin: ubuntu-desktop
[18:38] <harushimo> Jack_Sparrow: nope
[18:38] <LjL> ParanoyaM: but then you'll have to set it up as well
[18:38] <tarsin> erUSUL, thanks
[18:38] <waseem> B-rabbit: after moving it to root and trying. It did nothing in the terminal
[18:38] <erUSUL> tarsin: or xubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-desktop
[18:38] <Sir_Sid> ifireball, yes but what if you removed that last distro? Would the system revert back to the original grub?
[18:38] <Phopsy> Jack_Sparrow: Okay, many thanks. But you could help me: Other than my /home folder, what should I back-up to make transition as seamless as possible?
[18:38] <LjL> ParanoyaM: actually, sudo -c sh "echo 1 >>/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward"
[18:38] <B-rabbit> waseem, r u running the WinKawaks from a cd?
[18:38] <invalidsyntax101> when i turn on compiz i loose my top panel
[18:38] <ogre> hey guys, I'm trying to install weatherget and am not sure I understand the directions. here they are. can anyone tell me how to do this? http://pastebin.com/m65c511bf
[18:38] <waseem> B-rabbit: no i am running it from my hard drive (the windows partition)
[18:39] <B-rabbit> ohh
[18:39] <tarsin> erUSUL, how do i then go and configure X? or do i need to?  my actual intention is to never run an X (Server i think) locally.. all my GUIs will be done remotely
[18:39] <ParanoyaM> LjL i did it so, but it is not working anybody can't access internet
[18:39] <aetos> hi everybody
[18:39] <erUSUL> tarsin: try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg'
[18:39] <ifireball> Sir_Sid: not really, I don't think removing a distro restores the MBR to its state before installing it, note that there isn't such a thing as a "distro uninstaller"
[18:39] <Jack_Sparrow> Phopsy: NOrmally I would say to burn /var/cache/apt/archives to a cd or use apt on cd, but there are going to be some files in there you do NOT want to use that were picked up by automatix
[18:40] <billenium> what is a good .iso file burner?
[18:40] <B-rabbit> k3b
[18:40] <LjL> ParanoyaM: i said that just *enables* it, and then you have to set it up. follow the instructions the bot gave you, or use a frontend such as firestarter
[18:40] <Jack_Sparrow> billenium: k3b
[18:40] <LjL> ParanoyaM: your system cannot just know *what* you want to forward and to *where*. you have to tell it.
[18:40] <invalidsyntax101> bill Alchohal
[18:40] <ParanoyaM> i use simple
[18:40] <waseem> B-rabbit: just tried it from my ubuntu partition and it did te same
[18:40] <small_stripes> which should i select for a root partition..primary or logical
[18:40] <ParanoyaM> forwarding
[18:41] <ParanoyaM> i need to organize gateway for internet
[18:41] <invalidsyntax101> when i turn on compiz i loose my top panel help plz
[18:41] <ifireball> Sir_Sid: actually, the best bet for a multi distro machine (not considering virtualization) is to manually maintain you own grub setup in its own partition and never let anything touch it
[18:41] <ogre> billenium,  i already told u k3b
[18:41] <SAngeli> Hi, I just successfully installed ubuntu with gnome. I wish to use kmail as used it so far (especially with mbox mail format). 1) Is it possible to install & run kmail without any kind of problem? Will this create any problem to gnome? 2) Does Evolution have mbox as mail format?
[18:41] <billenium> ogre: no you didnt
[18:41] <Sir_Sid> ifireball, yeah well I have /boot set up on its own partition currently. If I installed another distro and let it use its own grub file and later removed it. Would the system use the old grub file in the /boot parititon. (I understand there is no such thing as an OS remover, you just delete the partition its sitting in)
[18:41] <ParanoyaM> with nothing more, except mac filtering, can you help me?
[18:42] <B-rabbit> waseem, join the "winehq" channel, i am sure they will be able to help u there :)
[18:42] <waseem> B-rabbit: k thanks for your help
[18:42] <B-rabbit> waseem, /join #winehq
[18:42] <ogre> billenium,  oh nm it was frojnd  that i told a few minutes ago
[18:42] <Jack_Sparrow> billenium: yes we did
[18:42] <vincenz> Anyone know why my ipw2200 is no longer working?  I had gutsy, but my hd was faulty.  So I got a new hd, installed LTS from a livecd, my ipw worked fine  Then upgraded to edgy, still fine.  Then upgraded to feisty, didn't work anymore.  Now in gutsy it's not working either, though my original system on my original hd also was gutsy and then it worked
[18:42] <LjL> ogre: since weatherget is not available in the repositories, why don't you consider using alternatives that are?
[18:42] <LjL> !info metar > ogre
[18:43] <LjL> !info weather-util > ogre
[18:43] <billenium> Jack_Sparrow: ogre said he already told me. You justs did, but this is the first time...
[18:43] <ogre> LjL,  well its for a conky script
[18:43] <harushimo> Jack_Sparrow: so what do I do now
[18:43] <Jack_Sparrow> billenium: brabbit and I both did...
[18:43] <Sir_Sid> ifireball, how would you keep grub on its own parition? I thought I was accomplishing that by making a seperate partiiton for /boot
[18:44] <LjL> ogre: your pastebin doesn't work, anyway
[18:44] <LjL> !pastebin > ogre    (ogre, see the private message from Ubotu)
[18:44] <ifireball> Sir_Sid: you seem to not understand where grub is actually installed, the files in /boot are used from the 1.5 step of the grub loading process and on, the boot process begins by loading grub from the MBR, there is only one MBR for a given disk, the the part of grub installed there is hard-configured to load the next steps in the process from a hard-fixed location
[18:44] <billenium> Jack_sparrow: yes i know... ogre said he told me before (like 3 minutes before i asked my question) lets drop this...
[18:44] <SAngeli> Can anyone please answer my question?
[18:45] <Jack_Sparrow> SAngeli: You can use kde apps in gnome
[18:45] <ifireball> Sir_Sid: othere then grub, the /boot directory also contains kernels and other files relevant only to a particular distro
[18:45] <yaserxp> Can someone give me instructions on making the d-link dsl 200 usb modem work with ubuntu?
[18:45] <ifireball> Sir_Sid: the grub files are at /boot/grub
[18:45] <SAngeli> Jack_Sparrow:  thank you
[18:45] <LjL> ParanoyaM: if the IP address of the computer you want to forward is $IP, then this should work (as root):
[18:45] <LjL>   echo "1" >>/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward ; iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE -s $IP -d <IP_ADDRESS>/0
[18:45] <Jack_Sparrow> harushimo: You can go back through our link for restricted formats and hope you didnt install somthing that will mess up the dependencies.
[18:45] <ogre> LjL,  sorry hehe http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49333/
[18:46] <_NiC> I suspect that various (system)-files has been replaced with bogus data, is there a way to make aptitude/dpkg do a full check that the files are correct, but not doing the whole reinstall-thing?

[18:46] <ifireball> Sir_Sid: if you really want to understand this you need to do some reading and really understand how grub works
[18:46] <Jack_Sparrow> SAngeli: np
[18:46] <Phopsy> Jack_Sparrow: Thanks very much, Cap'n. Looks like I'll be back to Square One! No more Automatix for me.

[18:46] <Toran> Hey guys, I'm trying to run a really old binary on my ubuntu 7.10 system. Whenever I try to run the binary from the command line, though, it gives this error: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.2.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[18:47] <joanie> Hi
[18:47] <B-rabbit> HI
[18:47] <ParanoyaM> LjL /sbin/iptables -s <IP_ADDRESS> -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE is this correct?
[18:47] <joanie> I don't know....
[18:48] <ParanoyaM> LjL eth1 is my internet interface and eht0 is local
[18:48] <joanie> How can you understand all this?
[18:48] <_NiC> toran: that's very old indeed. Either recompile, or find the version of libstdc the program needs.
[18:48] <harushimo> Jack_Sparrow: is their a way to remove libdvdread3
[18:48] <ifireball> Sir_Sid: a good place to start, the grub "official" website: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/
[18:48] <LjL> ParanoyaM: if <IP_ADDRESS> is a computer that needs IP forwarding. i'm not sure the "-o eth1" is needed or correct though
[18:48] <Toran> _NiC: the problem is, it's closed-source so I can't recompile it
[18:48] <Sir_Sid> ifireball, yup thanks
[18:48] <erUSUL> Toran: install libstdc++5 and cross your fingers hoping for it to work ??
[18:48] <harushimo> Jack_Sparrow: I mean uninstall

[18:49] <daedra> ck of this movie requires a Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) source plugin which is not installed."

[18:49] <daedra> The playback of this movie requires a Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) source plugin which is not installed."
[18:49] <harushimo> alrighty..we'll see if that works
[18:49] <daedra> sorry

[18:49] <LjL> ParanoyaM: if <IP_ADDRESS> is a computer that needs IP forwarding. i'm not sure the "-o eth1" is needed or correct though
[18:50] <_NiC> toran, then download an old version of the library
[18:50] <Toran> I guess my only option will be to have that old version lying around. Will it be detrimental to the health of my system to have a really old version of that library lying around?

[18:50] <Toran> Hmm, I'm assuming it won't be in the repositories, correct?
[18:50] <ParanoyaM> LjL so it is no need in -o eth1
[18:50] <ParanoyaM> ?
[18:50] <_NiC> toran, probably. :)
[18:50] <B-rabbit> joanie, i am learning freanch at the moment :)
[18:50] <daedra> any help? "The playback of this movie requires a Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) source plugin which is not installed."

[18:52] <drgeb> is there away you can get gdm.conf back to it's original form ?
[18:53] <HardDisk> drgeb, check for gdm.conf_backup if there is one
[18:53] <daedra> i've got mplayer to work...
[18:53] <daedra> but not VLC

I've deleted the unwanted partitions and currently my 60GB HD has 1 partition which is the C: while the other 30GB are unpartitioned space... the problem is when i go into gnome partition editor it doesn't see the C: partition at all even though it is there and i can mount and see the files on it ??  what can i do... i just
[19:08] <PaulEU> LjL: there isn't any errors
[19:08] <MegaIRC> i've ubuntu variants many times on other machines and never had this issue
[19:08] <MegaIRC> *installed
[19:09] <LjL> Yancho: then instead of just « supybot bot.conf », use « if ! pidof -x supybot ; then supybot bot.conf ; fi »
[19:09] <PaulEU> LjL: and? :|
[19:09] <TigranG> LjL: Ok...now its uninstalled and its working still, no errors. o.O
[19:09] <Yancho> fi = if ?
[19:10] <TigranG> fi closes the if statement, I guess
[19:10] <LjL> PaulEU: patience please, i'm answering three people at a time
[19:10] <LjL> Yancho: no, the first is an if, the other is a fi

[19:12] <PaulEU> LjL: yes, there are exists in /etc/vmware (for example)
[19:12] <LjL> TigranG, "working" i.e. you type "nautilus" and a Nautilus starts?
[19:13] <TigranG> LjL: yea
[19:13] <TigranG> LjL: Before it would give an error upon logging in and running nautilus when it was removed. Now its working.
[19:13] <erUSUL> vincenz: are you getting any error msg? can you describe the probelm? works without network manager?
[19:13] <Jack_Sparrow> MegaIRC: I would suggest you try the gparted livecd to create your partitions..  It isnt a huge dl and it is something you should have around anyhow
[19:14] <LjL> PaulEU: then you first removed it without purging it. try « sudo dpkg -P vmware-server » to purge it now.
[19:14] <TigranG> LjL: Side note: I uninstalled nautilus and libeel, downloaded the source, patched it, and installed the patched versions. But I lost the 'Extract here' option in the right click menu and I wanted it back. So I went in Synaptic and installed original nautilus and libeel.
[19:14] <vincenz> Doesn't work means, when I do ifup, I get no DHCP answer
[19:15] <LjL> TigranG: if you type « which nautilus »?
[19:15] <LjL> TigranG: (but the way, your "side note" is, i think, pretty vital to the issue)
[19:15] <anquietas> Jack_Sparrow, still around?
[19:15] <vincenz> It just keeps doing DHCPDISCOVER.  It worked fine on my original gutsy, changed hd, worked fine with livecd.  installed LTS on new hd, worked fine, upgraded to edgy, worked fine.  Then since feisty and now in gutsy, it just won't get an ip from dhcp when I do ifup
[19:15] <TigranG> LjL: what do you mean which nautilus do I run
[19:15] <Jack_Sparrow> anquietas: yes
[19:15] <TigranG> LjL: patched or original?
[19:15] <LjL> TigranG: just type « which nautilus » in a terminal
[19:15] <TigranG> oh
[19:15] <TigranG> k
[19:15] <anquietas> Jack_Sparrow, it did not work. My Ubuntu keeps crashing at start-up.
[19:16] <PaulEU> LjL: ok, now it deleted successfully :)
[19:16] <PaulEU> LjL: biig thx :)
[19:16] <TigranG> LjL: /usr/local/bin/nautilus
[19:16] <erUSUL> vincenz: have you tried with encryption disabled or no password etc?
[19:16] <Jack_Sparrow> anquietas: Are you running livecd now?
[19:16] <LjL> TigranG: then that's your pwn patched version. how to remove it - i wouldn't know that, it depends on how you installed it.
[19:16] <vincenz> erUSUL: it is without encryption
[19:16] <anquietas> Jack_Sparrow, I am running the LiveCD of another distro, because it is faster.
[19:16] <TigranG> LjL: make install
[19:16] <ogre> hairulfr,  well i got startupmanager and im looking through it right now
[19:16] <Jack_Sparrow> anquietas: SO you manually edited fstab?
[19:17] <LjL> TigranG: do you still have the directory where you did the make? try "make uninstall" in there
[19:17] <TigranG> Ljl: So I would need to get the source again and do make uninstall
[19:17] <anquietas> Jack_Sparrow, yes.
[19:17] <rencore_> in compiz how can i rotate the cube when i move my cursor to the edge and move my mouse wheel
[19:17] <LjL> TigranG: if it supports make uninstall at all, yes.
[19:17] <TigranG> LjL: Alright. I think I got it from here. Thanks a lot.
[19:17] <pianoboy3333> hey I get an error on boot "cannot load selected partition" this is new, and is only after today's updates... help?
[19:17] <Jack_Sparrow> anquietas: Bring up fstab and put it in the pastebin for me please.. not paste into the channel
[19:17] <LjL> TigranG: if it doesn't, then you'll have to remove each file manually.
[19:17] <TigranG> LjL: Haha. Yay :P
[19:18] <anquietas> Jack_Sparrow, I copied the new home directorys content into the destination folder and added a line to fstab. Hold on. I am going to upload it.
[19:18] <Jack_Sparrow> anquietas: Please also do this or the equivalent for your live distro..    sudo fdisk -l > ~/Desktop/Partition.Layout.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T).txt
[19:18] <erUSUL> vincenz: :S i'm at a lost if it works on the livecd it should work once instaled. Have you tried network manager?
[19:19] <bazz> is there some way I can have bash not only auto-complete files that have the extension for the program i'm about to run (i.e. I want to auto-complete an mp3 even if i'm going to vi it)
[19:19] <vincenz> erUSUL: it worked fine in 6.06 and 6.10 too
[19:19] <Jack_Sparrow> anquietas: I will most likely need that as well sent to the pastebin
[19:19] <vincenz> now I just keep getting DHCPDISCOVER

[19:22] <LjL> bazz: vi an mp3? that's a novel idea :) anyway, autocompletion was made "smart" by default in Edgy or something. you can open ~/.bashrc and find where it says "enable programmable completion features", and comment out the line between "if" and "fi". however that will remove other features too, such as autocompletion after "sudo" and autocompletion of command options. you might want to edit /etc/bash_completion to fit your tastes in more specific ways, i

[19:33] <magne_> I just ran the command sudo chown user /*/*    I tried to fix it by making everything owned by root and changing /home back. But I guess that's not all good either. Anyone know a way I can set everything back to default (hopefully not by reinstalling)
[19:34] <JordiGH> How can I get multimedia keys working? I installed some package, forget which, that got some of the multimedia keys working, but not all of them.

[19:34] <JordiGH> magne_: You've just messed up your filesystem. Reinstall.

[19:35] <ParanoyaM> LjL
[19:35] <ParanoyaM> any ideas?
[19:35] <magne_> JordiGH sure there's no other way?
[19:35] <tony_math> magne_: I don't know if you can change the default permissions back to what they were before. What are the permissions now on the root directory? Who is the owner of the folders in the root directory?
[19:36] <JordiGH> magne_: While *most* files outside of /home should be owned by root and *most* files in /home should be owned by users, a few of them aren't (some have to be owned by certain system users).
[19:36] <thedoor> wols, this comand increase the HDD speedy?
[19:37] <JordiGH> magne_: As I recall, there were few files that had to be owned by system users, but it could vary on your system.
[19:37] <magne_> tony_math root is the owner. anyone else can only access files

[19:37] <wols> thedoor: no

[19:38] <sharperguy> is there any way in pidgin to consolidate the same contact on different protocols to only come up once?

[19:38] <XSource> is there a way to get Ubuntu installed on GPT labeled disk, or skip the grub step?
[19:38] <JordiGH> magne_: You made a total n00b error there, messing around with file permissions. ;-)
[19:38] <TexasTaz> Good afternoon everyone
[19:39] <magne_> JordiGH thanx it hit me the second I hit return.  Only root has read access as well as members of the root group.
[19:39] <fjfalcon> what does it mean: localhost: RPC: Program not registered
[19:39] <grout> what can i use to convert a .avi to dvd?
[19:40] <tony_math> grout: you can use tovid
[19:40] <JordiGH> magne_: In all fairness, there is probably very little that could be broken if you change everything outside of /home to be owned by root. I think only a few logfiles had to be owned by system users.
[19:40] <JordiGH> magne_: Assuming you didn't change group ownerships... Btw, you can ignore permissions in /dev since those are generated at each boot.
[19:41] <magne_> JordiGH OK I'll try it for a while. Errors are sometimes poping up and I just have to fix it as I go along. I only changed ownerships. Right now my trouble is nothing mounts without being superuser

[19:52] <andre> i moved my boot stuff to another partition manually but everytime there is some major update menu.lst is reset to (hd0,0) what should be (hd0,2) where does is that information stored?))
[19:52] <Flare183> overand: run emerald --replace to fix that
[19:52] <Flare183> sorry
[19:52] <Overand> Flare183: I don't have "emerald"
[19:52] <Flare183> Overand: well then forget that
[19:53] <dragonforce99> well, what I really need to do is get this shell script to run this program in full screen mode. is there any way to do that?
[19:53] <wols> andre: groot line in menu.lst
[19:53] <cappicard> nice! ubuntu can finally read my mini-SD card from my razr
[19:53] <cvd> its any soft  to free ram?
[19:53] <Overand> Flare183: running 'gtk-window-decorator' worked
[19:54] <wols> cvd: huh?
[19:54] <erUSUL> cvd: free ram i wasted ram
[19:54] <Flare183> Overand: good
[19:54] <erUSUL> is*
[19:54] <Azjo> erUSUL, perhaps he needs more ram.
[19:55] <andre> wols, that is commented out, so my best guess is that hd0,0 is default and that i should set it to groot (hd0,2)
[19:55] <cvd> but sometimes after finishing the ram still in "use"
[19:55] <Overand> ok, this machine is getting too shaky.  time to reboot it.  Gosh, this feels a little like that other OS i used to use! heh
[19:55] <dragonforce99> does anyone know how to get a program to maximise with a shell script?

[19:56] <stoneCold_> for some days now I have been trying to install lin on my notebook, I only had success with suse 10.1 because only there I was able to edit /etc/pcmcia/config.opts (which is responsible for a hang during all other installs, ubuntu as well as FC8) ... anyone an idea what I can do to get ubuntu installed ... I needed to comment the line "include port 0x100-0x3af" to work-arround the hang
[19:56] <wols> JordiGH: that's unpossible
[19:56] <ompaul> ParanoyaM, you did not do what it said on that web page
[19:56] <andre> wols, so i should leave it commented than its just something that ubuntu uses?
[19:57] <JordiGH> wols: What isn't?
[19:57] <ParanoyaM> ompaul what is that?
[19:57] <GHOST> Hi ,why is firefox crash on youtube(xubuntu 7.10) ?
[19:57] <dragonforce99> does anyone know how to get a program to maximise with a shell script?
[19:57] <Overand> stoneCold_: there may be a way to pass that as a kernel parameter
[19:57] <ompaul> ParanoyaM, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/iptables-mac-address-filtering.html  this will tell you
[19:57] <JordiGH> wols: My previous query about why the volume up and down knob isn't generating X events?
[19:57]  * Dinde_de_noel_cu mangeur de benos
[19:57] <stoneCold_> Overand: I thought that too, but had no luck with any parameters yet
[19:57] <Overand> stoneCold_: troubling.  You might want to try the 'alternate installer'
[19:57] <Overand> It's somewhat more flexible.
[19:58] <Flare183> !download > stoneCold_
[19:58] <stoneCold_> been there, done that, same result
[19:58] <wols> JordiGH: the not freeing up ram after ending an app
[19:58] <Overand> Well, I know one thing that *would* work - you could roll your own modified install disc.  WOO!
[19:58] <GHOST> Hi ,why is firefox crash on youtube(xubuntu 7.10) ?
[19:58] <JordiGH> cvd: And mention a specific example. Linux should always be using all your RAM. What application isn't freeing RAM after you close it?
[19:58] <Flare183> !repeat > GHOST
[19:58] <stoneCold_> Overand: that would be my very last option too ;)
[19:59] <GHOST> o sry!
[19:59] <dragonforce99> does ubuntu have startup parameters?
[19:59] <ParanoyaM> ompaul: you mean that i am using postrouting?
[19:59] <Flare183> dragonforce99: yes
[19:59] <Flare183> dragonforce99: there on grub
[19:59] <cvd> something like this but for linux http://tinyurl.com/2rmpc5
[20:00] <zuch> Can I differentiate between a system running Ubuntu from a system running Debian from the shell?
[20:00] <dragonforce99> flare: do they have them for actual programs?
[20:00] <ompaul> paradon, I see no reason to include the ip address in that line
[20:00] <GHOST>  somenow why is firefox crash onftenly (xubuntu 7.10) ?
[20:00] <dragonforce99> ghost: if you are using flash, it is currently messed up
[20:00] <Flare183> dragonforce99: nope but you can start application when ubuntu boots
[20:00] <ompaul> ParanoyaM, This is what I pointed at (this is the third time I pointed at it) http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/iptables-mac-address-filtering.html
[20:00] <GHOST> ok ty :)
[20:00] <JordiGH> cvd: Linux doesn't need such a tool. It's much smarter than Windows on how it handles RAM.
[20:00] <dragonforce99> flare: yes, using a shell script. but how do I get the program to full screen?

[20:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about lsb_release - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[20:01] <ompaul> ParanoyaM, why are you including an IP address? that is what you are doing wrong
[20:01] <francisco> ok gracias
[20:02] <dragonforce99> ok
[20:02] <serenityUK> zuch: try typing lsb_release -d
[20:02] <ParanoyaM> ompaul so there is no need to point IP?

[20:04] <JordiGH> Has anyone bought the Dell Ubuntu lappies? I'm buying one soon.
[20:05] <erUSUL> od: do you use network manager or not ??
[20:05] <ompaul>  ParanoyaM read that web page, it tells you in two lines how to and whhat you are doing
[20:05] <od> i do
[20:05] <wols> JordiGH: you REALLY should know not to ask anyone questions...
[20:05] <Donevera> can anyone tell me if there are any scripts to help set up ubuntu for the first time? I just spent a day getting wireless to work, with a guide, and no one wants to remote desktop
[20:05] <Tezasaurus> I have Gutsy Gibbon installed, and flash movies in Firefox....well....flash a lot and do not work. Any advice?
[20:06] <JordiGH> I am looking for a review of Dell Ubuntu laptops. Better, wols?
[20:06] <od> the thing is erUSUL, i'm trying to set up sourcemage, and the only distro that properly sets up my wireless is linux mint, so i figured i'd copy the setup files
[20:06] <dragonforce99> tezasaurus when did you install flash
[20:06] <erUSUL> od: then the config is not in /etc/network/interfaces i'm afraid
[20:06] <zuch> serenityUK: Works well with gutsy. Will this also work on Debian? Other distros?
[20:06] <ParanoyaM> ompaul: iptables -A INPUT -m mac --mac-source 00:0F:EA:91:04:07 -j ACCEPT
[20:06] <PriceChild> JordiGH, the dell machines work perfectly with Ubuntu, and come with licensed (legal) dvd playback
[20:06] <ParanoyaM> ompaul is this correct?
[20:06] <od> i found that out just now erUSUL, lol. nothing but localhost loopback info in there
[20:06] <serenityUK> Tezasaurus: are you using 64bit?
[20:06] <PriceChild> JordiGH, you should accept full hardware computability etc.
[20:06] <holotone> how can I check to see if my laptop has bluetooth support?
[20:06] <Tezasaurus> dragonforce99: Yesterday, and I'm on 32bit
[20:06] <PriceChild> JordiGH, s/accept/expect/
[20:07] <JordiGH> PriceChild: What do you mean licenced dvd playback? Have you tried flashing RPC1 to the DVD drive to make it regionless?
[20:07] <serenityUK> zuch: i think lsb stands for  linux stands base... trying to unite linux underneath.. so works on main ones yes
[20:07] <serenityUK> zuch: standards*
[20:07] <Donevera> i'm looking for scripts to help setup ubuntu for the first time. I just spent a day getting wireless to work, with a guide, and no one wants to remote desktop
[20:07] <PriceChild> JordiGH, as in.... the "libdvdcss" package required on linux machines to play encrypted (most commercial) dvds is most likely slightly illegal.
[20:07] <macd> JordiGH, as in, its legal to bundle dvd playboack on them, in the US.
[20:08]  * macd hands the mic back to PriceChild
[20:08] <macd> ;)

[20:08] <pacman2> can someone help me install?
[20:08] <erUSUL> JordiGH: no thay come with lindvd player that has a license for decss
[20:08] <PriceChild> JordiGH, Nope, I've never had a problem with regions on ubuntu.
[20:08] <JordiGH> erUSUL: So you were unable to flash RPC1?
[20:09] <JordiGH> PriceChild: And have you bought DVDs outside of the US?
[20:09] <erUSUL> JordiGH: no; i use libdscss i'm in europe no dmca around here
[20:09] <JordiGH> erUSUL: You were not unable to flash RPC1 to them?
[20:09] <PriceChild> JordiGH, I'm from Europe, and I've played dvds from america and new zealand on my travels.
[20:09] <serenityUK> zuch: sorry i type at 100mph and make mistakes lol
[20:10] <od> well how about ifconfig files then?
[20:10]  * Dinde_de_noel_cu aussi
[20:10] <JordiGH> PriceChild: So the Dell Ubuntu laptops already have regionless DVDs?
[20:10] <PriceChild> JordiGH, no idea.
[20:10] <heatmzzr> trying to load a site with video that will not play, on the site it says is video doesnt play, download flash player and directs me to Adobe to d/l rpm file, is that what i need to do?
[20:10] <macd> JordiGH, no, thats not legal.
[20:10] <erUSUL> JordiGH: i'm afraid i jumped in the middle of the conversation... the dell macines come now with a legal program to watch dvd's linDVD
[20:10] <JordiGH> PriceChild: So how have you worked around region problems?
[20:11] <cvd> can someonehelp me find a soft that can take screenshots but with custom regions
[20:11] <PriceChild> JordiGH, no idea.
[20:11] <pacman2> Can someone help me with an no sound issue?
[20:11] <zuch> serenityUK: sorry im new to the 'free' world and i read at .5mph. too much information for me to handle.
[20:11] <erUSUL> JordiGH: no need to flash anything
[20:11] <JordiGH> erUSUL: But only from region 1, right?
[20:11]  * macd just buys the correct regioned dvd's
[20:11] <erUSUL> JordiGH: i guess
[20:11] <od> i thought the default screenshot program did that, cvd?
[20:11] <JordiGH> macd: That's an impossibility for those of use who travel.
[20:11] <macd> JordiGH, not if you just dont buy dvd's out of the country
[20:11] <od> you just don't get the options if you use the keyboard button
[20:11] <cvd> nop, just the active window or the Dektop
[20:11]  * macd travels to work, not shop
[20:11] <cvd> not a region
[20:11] <od> you have to select it from the accessories menu

[20:12] <pacman2> Can someone please help me with my sound?
[20:12] <macd> JordiGH, well I hear that for sure, have you tried flashing your dvd drive yet? it sounds like you could very easily brick it that way
[20:13] <macd> JordiGH, yeah thats the best option I think, but they will _not_ come that way
[20:13] <Milotin> can someone help me with a soundcard problem ?
[20:13] <Tezasaurus> Anybody know why some Flash movies would flicker a bunch in Firefox?
[20:13] <JordiGH> I don't actually care if they come with lindvd or whatever.  I'm gonna wipe then and install Debian on them. I just want 1) not pay Microsoft tax and 2) have it run with as many free drivers as possible.
[20:13] <macd> JordiGH, I think the dell buntu laptops cost more than the windows one right now
