[06:52] <stargt^Windows> Doesn't It have any problem?
[06:53] <frogzoo> stargt, depends on the model & hardware - but mostly straightforward
[06:53] <fsf_rocks> stagt^ -- Try a live CD first on your hardware
[06:53] <frogzoo> if you know what you're doing ;)
[06:53] <Gunfus> hello
[06:53] <LNova>  I cannot seem to open any programs from the System => Administrator menu in breezy, when i click oon anything like symantec, it just doesn't open, or even show anysines of loading. My sudoers is fine, so i can't see what the problem is. Can anyone help?

[06:54] <stargt^Windows> first, live cd can run on laptop
[06:54] <liam_> can anyone help me with compiling, the wiki faq was very uninformative

[06:54] <Gunfus> of my Linux boot partition. ohh FYI.. I have LILO
[06:54] <beelzebub1987> Because I can't get to them
[06:54] <beelzebub1987> Anyone know?
[06:54] <javaTard> Forums are down for me too
[06:55] <beelzebub1987> yeah...
[06:55] <beelzebub1987> why is that?
[06:55] <javaTard> Spring cleaning? idk
[06:55] <frazmanw> Is there a way around the oss sound issues with games without shutting off system sounds?
[06:55] <Bizzeh> can someone go to the ubuntu wiki, get the ati binary driver stuff, find the bit about using the download from ati.com and paste it in pm for me please
[06:55] <Gunfus> tonyyarusso, I want to dual boot with windows.. but I need a bootable disk so that i can overwrite the MBR after installing windows
[06:55] <tonyyarusso> liam_, I can give it a shot.
[06:55] <beelzebub1987> heh
[06:55] <beelzebub1987> it's not spring yet
[06:55] <tonyyarusso> Gunfus, Do you have a Live CD?
[06:55] <Gunfus> yes
[06:55] <fsf_rocks> stagt^ -- this might answer some of your questions http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/index.html
[06:55] <liam_> tonyyarusso: that would be cool.
[06:55] <Gunfus> tonyyarusso, yes
[06:56] <tonyyarusso> Gunfus, That seems to be the easiest way, since those are already a bootable disk for you.
[06:56] <stargt^Windows> Does Ubuntu support Wi-Fi well?
[06:56] <the_mr_bong_show> how can i set up thunderbird for my hotmail. acount
[06:56] <Gunfus> right but how do I load my already install Linux?
[06:56] <javaTard> I am using Ubuntu on my laptop wirelessly
[06:56] <fsf_rocks> stagt^Windowz --- YES
[06:56] <tonyyarusso> liam_, What exactly are you trying to do, and where do you run into trouble?
[06:56] <stargt^Windows> thanks, i'll try
[06:56] <tonyyarusso> stargt^Windows, Might depend on your card.  Again, mine's great.
[06:56] <Bizzeh> once i changed something in /etc/apt/sources.list what do i run to get apt to see the new stuff
[06:57] <Gunfus> tonyyarusso,  right, but how do I load my already install Linux after botting with the CD?
[06:57] <fsf_rocks> stagt^Windowz --- see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WiFiHowto
[06:57] <LNova> Big question
[06:57] <LNova>  I cannot seem to open any programs from the System => Administrator menu in breezy, when i click oon anything like symantec, it just doesn't open, or even show anysines of loading. My sudoers is fine, so i can't see what the problem is. Can anyone help?
[06:57] <javaTard> stargt^Windows: pay attention to the driver you use
[06:57] <tonyyarusso> Gunfus, Well, I'm not familiar with lilo, but !grub has some information for that, which you might be able to tweak for your situation.
[06:57] <fsf_rocks> stagt^Windowz --- you can get almost any wifi card working
[06:57] <liam_> tonyyarusson: well i dont know anything about even were to start, and the wiki was usless in directing me
[06:57] <Gunfus> tonyyarusso, okay
[06:57] <JoeBlow> how do you mount a .bin and .cue files
[06:57] <Gunfus> thanks
[06:57] <_jason> LNova: do 'gksudo nautilus' in a terminal and see what it says
[06:57] <tonyyarusso> Gunfus, Basically you can just mount and chroot, then write whatever you need to to the mbr.
[06:57] <RickKnight> javaTard, are you JavaPunk?
[06:58] <Gunfus> ohh right.. right..
[06:58] <Gunfus> okay
[06:58] <tonyyarusso> liam_, Okay.  Where to start: What are you trying to compile?
[06:58] <Gunfus> tyhanks for the reminder.. that is right.. i just got to mount and then run lilo with my lilo conf.. thanks
[06:58] <fsf_rocks> stagt^Windowz --- you can get almost any wifi card working with Ndiswrapper if its not supported by default
[06:58] <the_mr_bong_show> i want to setup thunderbird with my yahoo and hotmail accounts how can i do that
[06:58] <Gunfus> tonyyarusso, thanks man
[06:58] <sam_> Does anyone here use Windows?
[06:58] <liam_> tonyyarusso: visualboyadvance (its C++)
[06:58] <javaTard> Rickknight: Um not sure, I dont think so
[06:58] <JoeBlow> how do you mount a .bin and .cue files
[06:58] <witless> is there a realplayer for ubuntu that doesn't suck nutsack?
[06:58] <Terminus> JoeBlow: you have to convert those to ISO. i think a program called binchunk or something like that will work.
[06:58] <JoeBlow> sam_, sometimes
[06:58] <tonyyarusso> Gunfus, np.  (I've had to do it too.)
[06:58] <JoeBlow> Terminus, cool
[06:58] <fsf_rocks> sam - What is this windows you speak of?
[06:58] <_jason> sam_: please do not speak that word.  (sometimes though)
[06:58] <Gunfus> tonyyarusso, hehe
[06:58] <stargt^Windows> i use windows now
[06:59] <Terminus> sam_: i'm on windows right now. :)
[06:59] <fsf_rocks> sam - JUst kiddin
[06:59] <LNova> Thanks _jason, i'll go and try
[06:59] <JoeBlow> i wonder if i could get painkiller to work on linux
[06:59] <sven> hi. i got a problem with compiling 2.6.11 with ac patch. when i start "make modules" i get an error message at generic_serial.c . There are many warnings of outdated functions(or whatever). has anybody an idea what i could do?
[06:59] <tonyyarusso> liam_, Well, my suggestion would be to forget compiling and use apt, but that's just me.
[06:59] <fsf_rocks> I use 5 different OS's
[06:59] <fsf_rocks> for diff thingz
[06:59] <liam_> tonyyarusso: yes, i apt-get'd it, but i can't find were the damn thing whent, and search comes up dry
[06:59] <fsf_rocks> like Ubuntu the best
[06:59] <_jason> fsf_rocks: mac windows linux bsd ?
[07:00] <the_mr_bong_show> wich one is your porn os fsf_rocks
[07:00] <RickKnight> javaTard: JavaPunk helped get past an ieee80211 build problem. Thought it might be you. Sorry.
[07:00] <Terminus> JoeBlow: http://he.fi/bchunk/
[07:00] <Skwid_> _jason: if i remember 1st grade correctly, that looks like 4 to me :)
[07:00] <javaTard> RickKnight: ahhhhh thought it was a group or something. No, I am just a java retard
[07:00] <_jason> Skwid_: not if you count the '?' :)
[07:00] <fsf_rocks> jason - no MAC -- Multiple distros of linux, bsd's, solaris, windoz
[07:00] <_jason> fsf_rocks: ah ok I see
[07:00] <fsf_rocks> jason - mac is crap
[07:01] <fsf_rocks> lol
[07:01] <JoeBlow> Terminus, ohh i got it now, thnx
[07:01] <sam_> i use xp/ubuntu
[07:01] <Skwid_> fsf_rocks: i wouldn't really consider each distro a different OS...
[07:01] <fsf_rocks> skwid - same heritage in some cases
[07:01] <_jason> let's continue the distro talk in #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:01] <the_mr_bong_show> can some one tell me how to setup thunderbird for yahoo and hotmail
[07:01] <Bizzeh> why cant i apt-get install gcc-3.4
[07:01] <Skwid_> grrr why won't ubuntu boot the installer :S
[07:02] <fsf_rocks> k
[07:02] <_jason> Bizzeh: do you get an error?
[07:02] <Bizzeh> no package
[07:02] <muadda> I've just installed both qt3 and qt4 on ubuntu 5.10. update-alternative still use qt3 for all /usr/bin/ stuff. Is there a way to update-alternative *all* binary in one shot ?
[07:02] <RickKnight> Is there anyone here using ATI and frglx?
[07:02] <_jason> !info gcc-3.4
[07:02] <tonyyarusso> liam_, Finding it will probably be easier than installing again, which won't necessarily even solve your issue.  You probably need to update the locate database before it will work.
[07:02] <ubotu> gcc-3.4: (The GNU C compiler), section devel, is optional. Version: 3.4.4-6ubuntu8 (breezy), Packaged size: 473 kB, Installed size: 4520 kB
[07:02] <tonyyarusso> RickKnight, Yes.
[07:02] <Bizzeh> "no instalation candidate" actualy
[07:02] <Terminus> JoeBlow: apparently, there's a debian package in their repos so it might be in the ubuntu repos too. :)
[07:02] <stargt^Windows> Which Programming language do you prefer?
[07:02] <stargt^Windows> s
[07:03] <zuverink> I am trying to set up getmail, but cannot figure out how to make a maildir in my user home directory, how do you do this?
[07:03] <RickKnight> tonyyarusso: Did you build the kernel module?
[07:03] <fsf_rocks> s?
[07:03] <Manny> what's the most effective way of reaching a big amount of ubuntu developers/packagers? A particular mailing list?
[07:03] <_jason> Bizzeh: do you have the main repo enabled?
[07:03] <stargt^Windows> nothing
[07:03] <fsf_rocks> o
[07:03] <tonyyarusso> RickKnight, I didn't have to do anything really.  I did download linux-restricted-modules though, which I think is where that is.
[07:03] <Bizzeh> _jason: ye
[07:03] <JoeBlow> Terminus, found it right on synaptic
[07:03] <_jason> Bizzeh: apt-get update
[07:04] <Terminus> JoeBlow: cool. :)
[07:04] <helmut> hallo
[07:04] <tim_> how do i control my CPU throttling if my processor supports cool'n'quiet?
[07:04] <sam_> linux rocks my socks off.
[07:04] <RickKnight> tonyyarusso:What ubuntu are you using? Breezy?
[07:04] <fsf_rocks> sam - roger that!
[07:04] <tonyyarusso> RickKnight, Yes.
[07:04] <helmut> can anyone hear me
[07:04] <helmut> huhu
[07:04] <tonyyarusso> Yes helmut.
[07:04] <fsf_rocks> helmut - I can but you sound like text
[07:05] <helmut> hello iam from germany
[07:05] <_jason> !de
[07:05] <ubotu> Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu und Kubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de resp. #kubuntu-de
[07:05] <fsf_rocks> hello helmut
[07:05] <stargt^Windows> i have to try to install Ubuntu on my laptop now, bb
[07:05] <Bizzeh> _jason: i seem to have a later gcc installed
[07:05] <Bizzeh> may be why
[07:05] <javaTard> yikes, hope he backed up his data before he tries a dual boot
[07:05] <frogzoo> and the answer to playing a sound from the cli is.... ??     aplay!
[07:05] <_jason> Bizzeh: no, you can have both
[07:05] <fsf_rocks> javatard - i know man
[07:05] <MickMcMack> I find it preposterous that I have to use Windows to write an Ubuntu install CD, because Ubuntu kills CD's. :-\
[07:06] <_jason> Bizzeh: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list please
[07:06] <KSean> :X forums still down
[07:06] <fsf_rocks> javatard - sometime people just need to READ the manuals
[07:06] <fsf_rocks> javatard - LOL
[07:06] <frogzoo> MickMcMack, no probs this end - mebbe you need no=acpi   ?
[07:06] <javaTard> fsf_rocks: yea, but people think nothing wil go wrong
[07:06] <jtrask> is it likely that the reason my gaim is getting dropped when my screensaver comes up has something to do with ubuntu?
[07:06] <witless> RealMedia on linux sucks nutsack...  what's the best-supported video format on linux?
[07:07] <fsf_rocks> javatard - Lmoa
[07:07] <MickMcMack> frogzoo, the CD wrote, the install booted, but then the install couldn't read its own CD.
[07:07] <MickMcMack> :s
[07:07] <CanYouHelpMePlz> witless: avi
[07:07] <fsf_rocks> witless - real player simply sux period
[07:07] <CosmoDad> witless: mpeg4
[07:07] <witless> unfortunately it's all that c-span seems to offer
[07:07] <Bizzeh> _jason: cant, im stuck in console untill i get fglrx working
[07:07] <witless> i'm penning and angry missive to them now and i want to suggest another format
[07:07] <fsf_rocks> witless - real player simply sux -- they are all ad driven and annoying
[07:07] <frogzoo> MickMcMack, from the boot prompt, try 'linux acpi=no"
[07:07] <javaTard> witless: vlc players runs most everything for me
[07:08] <Marlun> Anyone who has any tips on how to make a TAB in gedit when I've got "convert tabs to spaces"? How to make it without changing the settings then.
[07:08] <MickMcMack> Willdo, frogzoo. Thanks. o/
[07:08] <JoeBlow> Terminus, that program works great
[07:08] <CosmoDad> witless: I usually choose wma and let mplayer play it. It's not as good as having MPEG4, but at least it works
[07:08] <Hahn> I need a bit of help. I managed to screw up sudo. My hostname 'COMPUTER' isn't in /etc/hosts, and I can't edit it.
[07:09] <_jason> Hahn: boot in recovery mode or use a livecd
[07:09] <Terminus> JoeBlow: i've never actually tried using it but at one point, i was wondering the same thing. glad to hear it works. :)
[07:09] <tonyyarusso> liam_, Well, I managed to find the docs in /usr/share/doc/visualboyadvance - that might help you.
[07:09] <JoeBlow> Terminus, really simple command line prog, works easy
[07:09] <Hahn> _jason. I've been told that numerous times, what do I do after that? (Keep in mind I've been using linux for like three days now.)
[07:09] <liam_> ok, ty
[07:09] <witless> CosmoDad: it hurts me to use wma format.
[07:09] <Hahn> I have a liveCD, and I can boot from it easily.
[07:09] <Terminus> JoeBlow: happy mounting! hehe
[07:10] <JoeBlow> Terminus :)
[07:10] <frogzoo> MickMcMack, correction "linux acpi=off'
[07:10] <CosmoDad> witless: me too, but if you're talking about streaming media, you usually don't have much of a choice
[07:10] <_jason> Hahn: 'nano /etc/hosts', if you use the livecd option you will need to mount the partition and update the path accordingly as well as use sudo
[07:10] <theeil> how do i get rid of the framebuffer when loading operating system?
[07:10] <Hahn> _jason. I don't know how to do any of that.
[07:10] <Terminus> errr... i don't think what i said was politically correct. lol
[07:10] <bryanl> has anyone here upgraded ndiswrapper?
[07:10] <RickKnight> tonyyarusso: When I try to select the fglrx kernel module in kynaptic, it won't select.   I haven't used Synaptic for months.
[07:11] <Hahn> _jason. I don't know what grub is. I'm booting from the liveCD now.
[07:11] <LNova> _jason?
[07:11] <frogzoo> MickMcMack, correction "linux acpi=off' - in case you missed it
[07:11] <JoeBlow> Terminus who wants me to pay for his vet bill now
[07:11] <fotis> HAI
[07:11] <_jason> Hahn: ok, I'll walk you through it
[07:11] <_jason> LNova: yes?
[07:11] <Hahn> Thank you.
[07:12] <McGyver^> hi
[07:12] <LNova> that command did'nt do anything
[07:12] <MickMcMack> frogzoo, acpi=off did not help.
[07:12] <tonyyarusso> Someone familiar with the Synaptic interface, what does RickKnight's situation mean?
[07:12] <_jason> Hahn: first we are going to mount your partition.  'sudo fdisk -l' and find out which one corresponds to your / (should say Linux in System column)
[07:12] <witless> http://<IP_ADDRESS>/ram/feature/0106/btv010706_4.ram  <-- can't play
[07:13] <_jason> LNova: was there any output to the terminal?
[07:13] <frogzoo> MickMcMack, usually this is the problem 'linux acpi=off'   yes?
[07:13] <Hahn> Ugh, that computer takes so damned long to start the liveCD.
[07:13] <_jason> witless: mplayerplug-in is playing that fine here
[07:13] <tonyyarusso> witless, Same here.
[07:14] <tonyyarusso> witless, Except for the part where I'm listening to music too, so it sounds kinda funny.
[07:14] <MickMcMack> frogzoo, no - whether I use acpi=off or not, it still cannot mount the CD.
[07:14] <LNova> yes
[07:15] <LNova> hang on, ill go and check it again
[07:15] <frogzoo> MickMcMack, wierd - what's the model?
[07:15] <witless> realplayer worked for me but locks up consistently after about 5 mins
[07:15] <_jason> LNova: can't you join us in irc from ubuntu?
[07:15] <Cyorxamp> Hi, there is an issue with the installer where it goes on about 'no installable kernel found' when cdroms/hdd are arranged in a certain way on IDE channels - basically a bug, can anyone point me in the direction of a workaround? or even the official bug report?
[07:15] <_jason> witless: remove that crap, just use mplayer
[07:16] <_dave> has anyone had success getting a microsoft wireless mouse 2.0 to work successfully in ubuntu?
[07:16] <}{-KiX-}{> hello ppl can someone help with some networking
[07:16] <tsdh> Today I've installed kubuntu 5.10 on a system, but now I have network problems. I do get an IP from my DHCP and the right nameserver is in my resolv.conf. I can ssh to any external host but ftp and http don't work.
[07:16] <fsf_rocks> witless - mplayer of vldeolan client work just fine
[07:16] <KoruptidPryde> _clave: work... or work with all the bells and whistles?
[07:16] <witless> _jason: Win32 LoadLibrary failed to load: avisynth.dll, /usr/lib/win32/avisynth.dll, /usr/local/lib/win32/avisynth.dll
[07:17] <LNova> _Jason: it said gksaudo: Command not found
[07:17] <_dave> just work normally, mine seems to have a mind of its own, where it will radomly select and deselect hings
[07:17] <Hahn> Okay, liveCD finished booting. I am about to open a terminal and fun 'sudo fdisk -l'.
[07:17] <_jason> LNova: is that a typo?  did it say 'gksudo' or 'gksaudo'
[07:17] <KoruptidPryde> LNova:you are using the wrong command.... either sudo or gksu
[07:17] <_jason> witless: you need w32codecs
[07:17] <frogzoo> tsdh, sounds like a problem on your router's nat
[07:17] <}{-KiX-}{> I have a USB wireless adaptor. how do i enable it. I cannot get any network and when i go to network connections i cannot add anything
[07:17] <LNova> thing is jason, i cant use the internet tilli can use synaptic to install nds
[07:18] <_jason> Hahn: please prefix what you say with my name or I'll miss it :)
[07:18] <_dave> i am just wondering if there is a special line in xorg.conf i need to add
[07:18] <tsdh> frogzoo: But how can that happen? All other 4 hosts work.
[07:18] <Zugot> man... the ndiswrapper in breezy is old...
[07:18] <_jason> LNova: ok, i understand.  So was that a typo above?
[07:18] <Nogimics> Can anybody help me with vsftpd here pls? I keep getting the following error "500 OOPS: could not bind listening IPv4 socket"
[07:18] <_adam> anyone use network-manager with vpn capability yet?
[07:18] <KoruptidPryde> }{-KiX-}{, ndiswrappers
[07:18] <tonyyarusso> _jason, I wouldn't be too sure about that answer.  avisynth.dll isn't in w32codecs.
[07:18] <frogzoo> tsdh, stock ubuntu works for web & ftp so look elsewhere
[07:18] <_jason> ubotu: tell witless about w32codecs
[07:19] <Hahn> _jason.What part of the output do you want?
[07:19] <_jason> Hahn: you can put it all on pastebin if you want
[07:19] <}{-KiX-}{> KoruptidPryde: i am running the live cd version. where do i findndiswrappers
[07:19] <tsdh> frogzoo: ok, thanks
[07:19] <_jason> ubotu: tell Hahn about pastebin

[07:20] <}{-KiX-}{> KoruptidPryde: right so i need to install the full version right. ok, i have XP at the moment, i will be able to use it as multiboot. right?
[07:20] <_dave> i have tried to search ubuntuforums but no luck....(although the site seems to be down right now)
[07:20] <whyameye> xvinfo says "no adapters present"....
[07:20] <tonyyarusso> KSean, I think the limit seems to be 2.  Maybe three if ops are in a good mood.
[07:20] <_adam> i cant seem to access the forums either
[07:20] <_jason> LNova: pastebin /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname
[07:20] <tonyyarusso> }{-KiX-}{, Of course.
[07:20] <tonyyarusso> !tell }{-KiX-}{ about dualboot
[07:20] <ssstormy> is anyone familiar with kino?  I've tried using it, but when I try and add non-DV files it won't import them.  It says "converting", and then fails, no matter what kind of video it's handling
[07:20] <KoruptidPryde> }{-KiX-}{, as long as you have enough space left on your drive to do so
[07:21] <}{-KiX-}{> thanx everyone
[07:21] <LNova> _jason, ok, gimme a sec
[07:22] <rambo3> i am getting this errormaby i should use ff 1.5
[07:22] <Nogimics> Can anybody help me with vsftpd here pls? I keep getting the following error "500 OOPS: could not bind listening IPv4 socket"
[07:22] <rambo3> https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12124
[07:22] <tonyyarusso> I keep getting this in my system mail, what should I do?: /etc/cron.daily/man-db: ; mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/man1/rmic.1.gz is a dangling symlink
[07:23] <C-O-L-T> GADO: hello
[07:23] <C-O-L-T> GADO: vagy-e
[07:23] <_dave> has anyone been able to get a microsoft wireless mouse 2.0 to work with ubuntu succesfully?
[07:23] <Manny> FYI: I found out how to reach most of the developers. https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
[07:24] <idefix_> wit synaptic, what's the difference between a white box, a white box with a yellow star and a green box?
[07:24] <tonyyarusso> How can I moniter my total internet bandwidth for a given 1-month period?  (So I know what my bill will be.)
[07:25] <tonyyarusso> idefix_, white=not selected, nothing interesting, star=newly available, updated, or something like that, green=installed.
[07:25] <Hahn> _jason. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7490
[07:26] <idefix_> tonyyarusso, so if you're a real fanatic you'd mark all upgrades of the white boxes with yellow stars and click apply ?
[07:26] <Krhis> What command does Linux use to delete /tmp on bootup?
[07:26] <Krhis> Been grep'ing everything today.... can't find it.
[07:26] <_adam> did they remove dvdrip from the universe repo?
[07:26] <tonyyarusso> idefix_, No, you use the option to automatically select all upgrades, then click apply.
[07:26] <tonyyarusso> idefix_, Why click them all?
[07:27] <cold> anyone know how to boot a ubuntu destro from the install disk ?
[07:27] <idefix_> that's a wild action, no good tonyyarusso
[07:27] <idefix_> I'm not a real fanatic..
[07:27] <AlbertEin_ZaYa> hi!, i have a LG DVD RW GSA-4167B
[07:27] <tonyyarusso> idefix_, ?  I wouldn't say I'm a real fanatic either, just like to be up-to-date.
[07:27] <_jason> Hahn: okay, now do this: 'sudo mkdir /mnt/ubuntuhd && sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/ubuntuhd'
[07:27] <fsf_rocks> who had the vsftpd question
[07:28] <AlbertEin_ZaYa> and doesn't work on ubuntu, when the OS tries to read from him it get frozeen
[07:28] <AlbertEin_ZaYa> and fails after a few minutes
[07:28] <idefix_> so you do do it then? use the option to automatically select all upgrades and click apply?
[07:28] <tonyyarusso> cold, As in like a live session from an install disk?  You can't do that; there's a separte CD for it.
[07:28] <LNova> _Jason?
[07:28] <tonyyarusso> idefix_, I do it via command line, but yes.
[07:28] <_jason> LNova: yes?
[07:28] <fsf_rocks> who had the vsftpd question???
[07:28] <AlbertEin_ZaYa> i tried with ubuntu warty and worked ok, the problem is with breezy
[07:28] <Hahn> _jason. After entering the command, the computer waited a few seconds, then went to a new prompt. No errors.
[07:28] <idefix_> tonyyarusso, apt-get upgrade?
[07:29] <martin__> hi I am having myth tv install problems when i type in the apt-get instlall myth tv command i get an error saying acces denied
[07:29] <Ma-Dean> AlbertEin_ZaYa: i have the same drive and it's working fine
[07:29] <tonyyarusso> idefix_, Yep.
[07:29] <LNova> my hosts is "<IP_ADDRESS> localhost" and hostname is "ubuntu"
[07:29] <fsf_rocks> martin- are you sudo or root?
[07:29] <_jason> Hahn: good, now 'sudo gedit /mnt/ubuntuhd/etc/hosts' and add your hostname from /etc/hostname
[07:29] <AlbertEin_ZaYa> Ma-Dean, when i change the drive it worked fine, i tested with a ibm DVD combo and works nice
[07:29] <yaaar> wordd
[07:29] <idefix_> tonyyarusso, should I do it too or could my PC get slower from it?
[07:30] <yaaar> does ubuntu ship with some sort of remote desktop app, like a frontend to vnc/rdesktop?
[07:30] <tonyyarusso> idefix_, Well, I don't really know enough about the inner workings of things to answer that intelligently, but I've seen no problem.
[07:30] <AlbertEin_ZaYa> Ma-Dean, did you know what could be the problem ?
[07:30] <martin__> fsf-rocks how do i check sory this is my first linux install
[07:30] <yaaar> and/or somebody know the package i should apt-get for same?
[07:30] <LNova> _jason: my hosts is "<IP_ADDRESS> localhost" and hostname is "ubuntu"
[07:30] <tonyyarusso> yaaar, System > Preferences > Remote Desktop to access, I'm not sure if it's actually installed by default or not.
[07:30] <Ma-Dean> AlbertEin_ZaYa: no.. it worked out of the box here..
[07:31] <pixelfairy> are the forums down?
[07:31] <idefix_> tonyyarusso, I'll just try then..
[07:31] <martin__> there down
[07:31] <idefix_> should I close all other programs before doing so?
[07:31] <AlbertEin_ZaYa> Ma-Dean, thanks
[07:31] <yaaar> tonyyarusso: yep, it's there....i must be blind. anyway, that's awesome; thanks
[07:31] <tonyyarusso> yaaar, apt-cache search vnc to check out your options.
[07:31] <_jason> LNova, Hahn: modify the first line of /etc/hosts to be like http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7491 (lnova for "my_hostname" you change it to ubuntu)
[07:31] <Ma-Dean> does the drive still work in other distros or windows?
[07:31] <metalhedd> I'm trying to configure pure-ftpd the chroot doesn't seem to be working, I've given the user a home directory and set it to lock them into it, but when I log in, it ignores the specified home dir and goes to /home/username and also allows them full read access to the whole disk
[07:31] <tim|mac> hi, second stage installation failed here (no network), i fixed that, how can i start second stage install anew?
[07:31] <tonyyarusso> idefix_, I don't think it matters.  I'm always running stuff.
[07:32] <webby> hi
[07:32] <webby> I need some help
[07:32] <webby> my friends ipod died
[07:32] <webby> 4G 40GB
[07:32] <FLSimpsonKPT> lol
[07:32] <FLSimpsonKPT> wrong place
[07:32] <webby> and I want to use ubuntu
[07:33] <webby> to format it
[07:33] <_jason> ubotu: tell webby about enter
[07:33] <FLSimpsonKPT> oh
[07:33] <FLSimpsonKPT> hrm
[07:33] <_adam> anyone been able to build network-manager with vpn?
[07:33] <LNova> _jason, can i try it out now then?
[07:33] <_adam> i cant find the libnl library it refers too
[07:33] <webby> oh, sorry about that. anyway, umm I'm sure you can help me out.
[07:33] <FLSimpsonKPT> dont know much about puttin ubuntu on a ipod. sorry webby
[07:33] <jamuraa> I have a problem with evolution - it keeps crashing when I try to remove or disable an account.  Is there a way to delete all my evolution accounts and preferences without completely destroying all gnome preferences?
[07:33] <_adam> webby: gtkpod
[07:33] <webby> not on! heh, usuing ubuntu to format an ipod.
[07:33] <_jason> LNova: yes, just save and you should be good to go
[07:33] <preglow> i need to compile my own kernel to add proper realtime support. does ubuntu require any kernel settings?
[07:34] <webby> its a little bit more complicated, the ipod doesn't work. it freezes windows XP (of course)
[07:34] <_jason> LNova: wait
[07:34] <FLSimpsonKPT> webby: i dont know if you can do that with ubuntu
[07:34] <_jason> LNova: I forget, you used the livecd to mount your partition and edit?
[07:34] <_adam> webby: use gtkpod...
[07:34] <tim|mac> can anyone tell me how to start second stage installation (after the first boot) manually?
[07:34] <CodeNinja> webby, gparted?
[07:34] <webby> just think of it as an external fat drive that needs to be formated.
[07:34] <_adam> or mount the device
[07:34] <Hahn> _jason. The /mnt/ubuntuhd/etc/hosts file was blank, as was /mntubuntuhd/etc/hostname. And after adding the line in the pastebin link to ...../etc/hosts it said it could not save the file.
[07:34] <_adam> and format it using fdisk
[07:34] <webby> yes, gtkpod, and gqparted. but I can't mount.
[07:35] <_adam> why cant you mount it webby
[07:35] <webby> they don't see the ipod, all I need is to get it to mount and then qtparted.
[07:35] <LNova> Argh! _Jason, i paste that thing into my hopsts, but it doesn't save
[07:35] <webby> that why I came here, I can't seem to figure out why it won't mount.
[07:35] <tim_> hm, when i try to change my CPU frequency nothing happens - it just stays at 90%
[07:35] <webby> (my ipod mini 6GB works quite well in ubuntu for example)
[07:35] <tonyyarusso> !ipod
[07:35] <ubotu> info for syncing your iPod is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPodHowto
[07:35] <_adam> webby: if you got usb working properly it should detect it as a scsi device
[07:35] <whyameye> how to I configure xorg.conf for xvideo?
[07:35] <_adam> !network-manager
[07:35] <ubotu> hmm... network-manager is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkmanagerHowto
[07:35] <r00twayne> wow i feel so lost without hte forums workin heh
[07:35] <webby> actually when I booted ubuntu
[07:35] <_jason> Hahn: go to /mnt/ubuntuhd and make sure your / is mounted there (do you see a lot of files0
[07:35] <tonyyarusso> webby, Maybe that ^^ would help you mount?
[07:36] <webby> it got hung up
[07:36] <metalhedd> is ANYONE using Pure-ftpd ?
[07:36] <_jason> LNova: you are using the livecd?
[07:36] <webby> and had... drive errors. and wouldn't go forward, until I disconnected.
[07:36] <hen> Is there any way to improve the latency on the kernel? I'm getting audio skipping and mouse freeze.
[07:36] <webby> tonnyyarusso: I'm sorry, what will?
[07:36] <LNova> no, i installed it
[07:36] <_adam> hen: ide drive?
[07:36] <yaaar> tonyyarusso: would you happen to know how to make that remote desktop setting less braindead on the access control front, would you? I'd like to have it ask the remote user for the password.....this thing pops up a box (locally) that asks if the user wants to accept or refuse the remote connection
[07:36] <hen> _adam, yes
[07:36] <tonyyarusso> !tell webby about ipod
[07:36] <_adam> hen: make sure dma is turned on
[07:36] <Hahn> _jason. No, there are eight files.
[07:36] <_adam> !hdparm
[07:36] <ubotu> parse error: dunno what you're talking about, _adam
[07:36] <yaaar> which seems rather pointless, being that any time i want to access the desktop remotely i certainly won't be at the computer to allow myself in
[07:37] <webby> oh tony and guys listen of course I read everything before coming here.
[07:37] <CodeNinja> how do i run the UT demo?
[07:37] <_adam> hen: lookup hdparm and use that to turn on dma for your ide device
[07:37] <_jason> Hahn: output of 'df' to pastebin please
[07:37] <hen> _adam, is it, but only dma, no other better hdparm opts
[07:37] <sam_> how do u install a new splash screen under gnome?
[07:37] <_jason> ls /
[07:37] <webby> adam, I'll try that. thanks.
[07:37] <hen> _adam, I mean it is
[07:37] <tonyyarusso> yaaar, I'm still experimenting with it myself, but the tightvnc version might allow that?  I'd like to do the same thing, so let me know if you find something.
[07:37] <webby> before I do, heres my fstab:
[07:37] <cold> anyone know how to boot ubuntu from install disk with in a virtual machine ?
[07:37] <webby> "/dev/sdc2 /media/iPod vfat nosuid,noauto,nodev,rw,umask=077,gid=1000,uid=1000,user,defaults,noatime,iocharset=utf8 0 0"
[07:37] <webby> thats the ipod line
[07:38] <LNova> _jason: no, i installed it
[07:38] <yaaar> hen; just run 'hdparm -d /dev/hdX' and see if it says dma is on or off for the device
[07:38] <webby> when I try to mount/iPod it
[07:38] <webby> it writes "mount: special device /dev/sdc2 does not exist"
[07:38] <hen> _adam, it IS on.
[07:38] <webby> but its in the list.
[07:38] <Hahn> I'll be back in like ten minutes, because I have to type the output manually. (This is my Windows pc)
[07:38] <yaaar> hen; then dma is not likely your problem
[07:38] <the_mr_bong_show> can some one help me with seting up my thunderbird
[07:38] <sam_> how do you install  a splash screen under gnome/ubuntu?
[07:38] <r00twayne> how long have the forums been down for?
[07:38] <_jason> LNova: you won't be able to edit the file unless you use a livecd or boot in recovery mode (sorry you and Hahn have the same problem so I must have left that step out for you)
[07:38] <_jason> Hahn: ok wait
[07:39] <tonyyarusso> the_mr_bong_show, What aspect?
[07:39] <hen> _adam, indeed, i know the problem isn't inherent to the hardware, as I didn't have it under gentoo - although that depended on the kernel
[07:39] <webby> ok so its not dma.
[07:39] <the_mr_bong_show> yahoo and hotmail i dont jnow how to set them up
[07:39] <LNova> so you want me to boot up on live cd?
[07:39] <_jason> Hahn: just check for /dev/hda1 under the Filesystem column and tell me what it says for "mounted on"
[07:39] <sam_> ?
[07:39] <webby> so I'm not sure, I'm kind of lost here.
[07:39] <CodeNinja> i run system/Unrealtournament and it loaded the splash screen for about a second then it went away
[07:39] <yaaar> tonyyarusso: doh. i'm blind again. there's a couple of checkboxes to handle the auth mechanism on that same settings page
[07:39] <tim|mac> please, can anyone tell me how to start the second stage installation manually? mine failed because I hadn't got the network plugged in, but I fixed that and would like to restart it now, but I don't know how to do it manually. Just running base-config? Is that enough?
[07:39] <idefix_> what's the command in Synaptic to "apt-get upgrade"?
[07:39] <tonyyarusso> yaaar, Nice.
[07:39] <Hahn> _jason. /mnt/ubuntuhd
[07:40] <Nogimics> Can anyone help? root wont disable for some reason
[07:40] <sam_> how do you install a splash screen under ubuntu?
[07:40] <eirejah> hello will the xorg.conf file show my vertical and horizontal refresh rates ?
[07:40] <hen> yaaar, sorry, I thought i was still speaking to adam_
[07:40] <_jason> Hahn: ok, cd /mnt/ubuntuhd/etc
[07:40] <CodeNinja> how do i run the UT demo?
[07:40] <LNova> _Jason so you want me to boot up on live cd?
[07:40] <CodeNinja> how do i run the UT demo?
[07:40] <CodeNinja> i run system/Unrealtournament and it loaded the splash screen for about a second then it went away
[07:40] <webby> so nobody can help me?
[07:40] <_jason> LNova: sure
[07:40] <webby> I'm sure its not a very complicated problem.
[07:40] <yaaar> hen; well, i just sort of jumped in there on the same line of thought he had going....
[07:40] <LNova> ok
[07:40] <webby> the forums are down.
[07:41] <yaaar> hehe, cool. now i'm on the other computer in the garage via vnc
[07:41] <Hahn> _jason. Bash: cd: /mnt/ubuntuhd/etc: No such file or directory
[07:41] <Orborde> CodeNinja: Any errors?
[07:41] <tonyyarusso> the_mr_bong_show, Well, those might need some special stuff to be able to work with them.  Have you tried Googe / apt-cache search hotmail/yahoo?
[07:41] <sam_> how do i install a new splash screen under ubuntu/gnome
[07:41] <webby> the ipod has problems mounting in windows and ubuntu.
[07:41] <CodeNinja> nope
[07:41] <hen> yaaar, I see, but I think its not DMA
[07:41] <yaaar> need a better viewer though....the stock 'vncviewer' app is unwieldy
[07:41] <webby> its a troubled ipod. I'm sure I can fix it with just a format.
[07:41] <webby> I need to mount it, anybody?
[07:41] <jip> Hi, does anyone here has vmware 4.5 installed on breezy?
[07:41] <yaaar> hen; yeah, i agre
[07:41] <eirejah> hello will the xorg.conf file show my vertical and horizontal refresh rates ?
[07:41] <sam_> anyone?
[07:41] <CanYouHelpMePlz> eirejah: yes
[07:42] <eirejah> thanks
[07:42] <webby> bah, you guys I expected more from ubuntu IRC
[07:42] <tonyyarusso> yaaar, I had fun connecting two computers right next to each other via crossover ethernet cable, and watching my mouse make the cursor move on both.
[07:42] <ubunTux> hello
[07:42] <hen> yaaar, which is why I thought it may be a scheduling issue
[07:42] <idefix_> tonyyarusso, do you know it?
[07:42] <the_mr_bong_show> what
[07:42] <idefix_> what's the command in Synaptic to apt-get upgrade?
[07:42] <idefix_> tonyyarusso
[07:43] <jamuraa> idefix_: click the "mark all upgrades" button, I think
[07:43] <ubunTux> why do i get this message: There seems to have been a problem with the database.
[07:43] <ubunTux> Please try again by clicking the Refresh button in your web browser.
[07:43] <_jason> Hahn: ok seems like we mounted the wrong partition, do this: sudo umount /mnt/ubuntuhd && sudo mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/ubuntuhd
[07:43] <idefix_> jamuraa, but that's only one entry, isn't it?
[07:43] <ubunTux> when i go to ubuntuforums.org...
[07:43] <the_mr_bong_show> tonyyarusso do i do a search on google for apt-cache search hotmail/yahoo?
[07:43] <tonyyarusso> idefix_, What jamuraa said, then click Apply.
[07:43] <jip> I need help install problems with VMware 4.5 ...
[07:43] <ubunTux> is the website down for the moment?
[07:43] <jamuraa> idefix_: if you have the "All" category selected it will mark all the upgrades available
[07:44] <r00twayne> yes uuntuforums.org is down
[07:44] <Orborde> CodeNinja: Check their tech support, I guess.
[07:44] <tonyyarusso> the_mr_bong_show, No, something like "thunderbird hotmail yahoo".  The apt search is a separate thing.
[07:44] <Hahn> _jason. sudo: unmount: command not found
[07:44] <idefix_> does that mean that every entry that has a yellow star in the list's upgrades are marked and gotten from some server?!
[07:44] <Orborde> Hahn: It's umount
[07:44] <phreaker> Has someone had any experience with Automatix?
[07:44] <_jason> Hahn: umount not unmount
[07:44] <the_mr_bong_show> oh ok
[07:44] <tonyyarusso> !automatix
[07:44] <ubotu> I guess automatix is messy, breaks all sorts of security guidelines, and is not open to improvement. In short: DO NOT USE IT!
[07:44] <ubunTux> r00twayne, oh! do you know how long would it take?
[07:44] <nellolux> ciao a tutti
[07:44] <tonyyarusso> phreaker, ^^
[07:44] <Hahn> _jason. That explains it.
[07:44] <fsf_rocks> mr-bong-show -- sounds like a fun show! =)
[07:45] <fsf_rocks> jk
[07:45] <phreaker> !automatix
[07:45] <ubotu> hmm... automatix is messy, breaks all sorts of security guidelines, and is not open to improvement. In short: DO NOT USE IT!
[07:45] <phreaker> nice.
[07:45] <CodeNinja> Orborde: not much in the line of that
[07:45] <fsf_rocks> No laughin alowed in here!
[07:45] <Hahn> _jason. umount: /mnt/ubuntuhd: device is busy
[07:45] <_jason> Hahn: 'cd' and try again
[07:46] <witless> in installed win32codecs and still get this error playing a .ram stream:  Win32 LoadLibrary failed to load: avisynth.dll, /usr/lib/win32/avisynth.dll, /usr/local/lib/win32/avisynth.dll
[07:46] <idefix_> why does my PC think for ten seconds when I click on one of the four sections status search custom buttons?
[07:46] <Hahn> _jason. mount: you must specify a filesystem type
[07:46] <ubunTux> why is libdivx4linux not available on breezy anymore?
[07:47] <CodeNinja> UT demo is installed in /usr/share/games/utdemo
[07:47] <Nogimics> Whats the quickest way to reboot via the command line?
[07:47] <Madpilot> idefix_: Synaptic isn't all that fast, even on a fairly powerful computer...
[07:48] <tonyyarusso> Why doesn't Gnome have an fstab manager like xfce?
[07:48] <fsf_rocks> codeninja - u runnin a client or server?
[07:48] <tonyyarusso> Nogimics, sudo shutdown -r now
[07:48] <CodeNinja> just the game
[07:48] <jamuraa> I want to delete all evolution accounts / preferences using the command line, is this possible?
[07:48] <fsf_rocks> ah ok
[07:48] <_jason> Hahn: mount -t ext3 /dev/hda2 /mnt/ubuntuhd
[07:48] <ToM-> Evening, I'm having trouble installing ubuntu to my Sata drive
[07:48] <Nogimics> thanks tonyyarusso
[07:48] <LNova> Jason?
[07:48] <_jason> LNova: yep
[07:48] <CodeNinja> and it still aint workin
[07:48] <LNova> I'm on the live
[07:49] <_jason> LNova: okay, do you know which partition your ubuntu / is on?
[07:49] <fsf_rocks> codeninja - 2004?
[07:49] <ToM-> Does anyone have experience on installing Ubuntu to a drive that's connected to Nvidia's Nforce2 Ide controller?
[07:49] <LNova> i think it's hd1
[07:49] <CodeNinja> GOTY
[07:49] <frazmanw> I have used linux for years, always wondered why num-lock is turned off be linux (regardless of distro) is there a way to have it stay turned on (as my bios has it set)?
[07:49] <phreaker> numlockx
[07:49] <fsf_rocks> codeninja - but its GOY 2004?
[07:50] <CodeNinja> no, the original
[07:50] <_jason> LNova: hda1?
[07:50] <fsf_rocks> codeninja - o
[07:50] <LNova> yeah, i think so
[07:50] <frazmanw> phreaker, numlockx? what do I do with that?
[07:50] <fsf_rocks> codeninja - check out http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/index.php
[07:50] <LNova> is there any way to check?
[07:50] <Dr_Willis> i cant ever recall using the Numlock :p
[07:51] <_jason> LNova: yeah you can look at /boot/grub/menu.lst but that would require you to reboot
[07:51] <ToM-> anyone?
[07:51] <LNova> hahaha
[07:51] <fsf_rocks> codeninja - is your machine old? why not use U2k4 instead if you are doing the demo
[07:51] <_jason> LNova: do 'sudo fdisk -l' and see if that helps you
[07:51] <CodeNinja> ooh i got an error
[07:51] <CodeNinja> cp: cannot stat `/home/matt/.utconf': No such file or directory
[07:51] <CodeNinja> Aborted
[07:51] <_adam> does anyone use vpnc? :)
[07:51] <Hahn> _jason. mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda2, missing codepage or other error (aren't you trying to mount an extended partition, instead of some logical partition inside?) In some cases useful info is in syslog -try dmesg | tail  or so
[07:51] <_adam> or network manager
[07:52] <CodeNinja> now i can do something
[07:52] <tonyyarusso> Answered a previous question I've had:  How to easily view external IP? gdesklets.
[07:52] <_jason> Hahn: erm ok I've never mounted an LVM volume you seem to have, not sure how it works.  try: sudo mount /dev/hda5 /mnt/ubuntuhd
[07:52] <fsf_rocks> codeninja - check out http://www.ataricommunity.com/forums/
[07:52] <Madpilot> frazmanw: you install the numlockx package, then set it up to run on boot (but I can't remember how I set it up, it was months ago...)
[07:53] <hen> hmm, the skipping does seem to occur in HD IO
[07:53] <_adam> hen: yea its a drive issue
[07:53] <frazmanw> Madpilot, tks
[07:53] <_adam> hen: not sure the best settings to use with hdparm
[07:53] <Hahn> _jason. mount: you must specify the dilesystem type
[07:53] <Hahn> *filesystem rather
[07:53] <_jason> Hahn: it's time for me to google... see if you can find something as well
[07:54] <hen> _adam, I have the same settings I had under gentoo, but still gettin skipping (-m 16 -c 1)
[07:54] <_jason> anyone know how to mount an LVM volume, trying to help Hahn edit /etc/hosts with the livecd
[07:54] <hen> _adam, of course with dma on
[07:54] <_adam> hen: hmmmm
[07:54] <_adam> hen: is this a custom compiled kernel?
[07:54] <hen> _adam, I'm using the 686 kernel
[07:55] <thechris> _jason: are there devices in /dev/mapper ?
[07:55] <_adam> hen: any processes in d state
[07:55] <_adam> hen: what does vmstat show
[07:55] <thechris> because udev loves to mess up lvm...
[07:55] <hen> _adam, sorry, I'm not sure what I'm looking for
[07:56] <martin__> Hi i tring to install myth tv loged in as sudo using command sudo apt-get install mythtv and it say it can find package myth tv help
[07:56] <_adam> hen: ps aux |grep D
[07:56] <_adam> look under stat column
[07:56] <tonyyarusso> I keep getting this in my system mail, what should I do?: /etc/cron.daily/man-db: ; mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/man1/rmic.1.gz is a dangling symlink
[07:56] <_adam> hen: vmstat look under 'r' column what # is displayed
[07:56] <_jason> thechris: no idea, I've never used lvm.  All I usually do is mount /dev/hda1 /mount/point and am ready to go.  Is it possible to do something similar if LVM is used?
[07:56] <CodeNinja> fsf_rocks: i dont like 2004 as much
[07:56] <hen> _adam, 1
[07:57] <fsf_rocks> codeninja - i see - i am a u2k4 junkie
[07:57] <_adam> hen: ok so you dont have any waiting processes
[07:57] <the_mr_bong_show> can some one help me by step by step to flash my bios or to update my bios
[07:57] <thechris> _jason: yeah.  udev should make devices in /dev/mapper/volumename
[07:57] <mikere> Where would be a good channel to ask how to get OpenOffice to connect to a mysql database on a Ubuntu box?
[07:57] <fsf_rocks> the-mr-bong >> what motherboard vendor?
[07:57] <_adam> hen: you can run a performance test on your box using IOZone
[07:57] <the_mr_bong_show> its  a hp
[07:57] <_jason> thechris: do you mind walking Hahn through that process?
[07:57] <Bizzeh> woo
[07:58] <_adam> hen: that should give you an idea of how your I/O is
[07:58] <_adam> and would tell you if it that is the problem
[07:58] <fsf_rocks> you need to go hp.com and lookup your model and find the support -- downloads section
[07:58] <Bizzeh> 64bit ubuntu, full hardware accelerated ati support, and a smp-k8 optimised kernel :D
[07:58] <martin__>  Hi i tring to install myth tv loged in as sudo using command sudo apt-get install mythtv and it say it can find package myth tv can anyone help
[07:58] <thechris> _jason: ok, is hahn here?
[07:58] <Bizzeh> on top of all that, my wireless works
[07:58] <Hahn> I'm right here.
[07:58] <hen> _adam, do i need to install that? is it in the a normal repository
[07:58] <thechris> Hahn: ls /dev/mapper
[07:58] <fsf_rocks> the-mr-bong -- instructions will be in that section
[07:58] <_adam> hen: not sure if iozone is provided in any of the repo's
[07:59] <funkyHat> Bizzeh, that's how it should be :)
[07:59] <the_mr_bong_show> i bought my pc from a friend
[07:59] <Bizzeh> how can i switch from gnome to kde though, without getting a kubuntu disk?
[07:59] <_jason> Bizzeh: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[07:59] <chadwick|359> sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[07:59] <Trackilizer> apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[07:59] <fsf_rocks> rgr
[07:59] <ToM-> Does anyone have experience on installing Ubuntu to a drive that's connected to Nvidia's Nforce2 Ide controller?
[07:59] <chadwick|359> haha
[08:00] <Hahn> thechris. The output says: "casper-cow casper-snapshot control Ububtu-root Ubuntu-swap_l"
[08:00] <mikere> Bizzeh after you do what chadwick|359 says, you can select kde from session button on login screen
[08:00] <_adam> hen: http://www.linuxtroubleshooting.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page#systat.2Fsar
[08:00] <funkyHat> ToM-, the nForce2 motherboard?
[08:00] <Madpilot> ToM-: I've got an Nforce2-using motherboard, and both IDE & SATA drives just work...
[08:00] <thechris> Hahn: i assume 4 of these are LVM volumes?
[08:00] <_adam> may want to check that for more information regarding performance
[08:00] <ToM-> funkyHat: Asus motherboard
[08:00] <Hahn> thechris. No clue.
[08:00] <Bizzeh> thanks guys :D
[08:00] <Bizzeh> much love :)
[08:00] <Nogimics> Can someone help me please? Root wont disable
[08:00] <Bizzeh> bbl
[08:00] <pixelfairy> so, im doing the cinelerra install (from the .org) and it talks about the debian repositorys, would i want to uncomment that before trying to get mplayer and all its goodies?
[08:00] <thechris> Hahn: did you install ubuntu yourself?
[08:01] <_jason> Nogimics: what do you mean?
[08:01] <ToM-> When I'm looking at Installers partitioning program it doesn't see inside the drive.. the drive has windows xp and suse linux at the moment
[08:01] <Hahn> thechris. Yes.
[08:01] <LNova> _Jason?
[08:01] <Nogimics> If I type sudo su root
[08:01] <chadwick|359> Actually, debconf will ask you if you want to use kdm or gdm, and which one you want to use as default, if i'm not mistaken
[08:01] <thechris> Hahn: type mount -- are any of these 4 mounted?
[08:01] <Nogimics> I takes me into root
[08:01] <Nogimics> when it should be disbaled
[08:01] <pixelfairy> Nogimics: type exit to get your shell back
[08:01] <pixelfairy> as a normal user
[08:01] <_jason> Nogimics: of course, you used sudo.  See if you can just do 'su'
[08:02] <Hahn> thechris: casper-snapshot is there.
[08:02] <hen> _adam, you pointed me to systat. Is that something I should look at?
[08:02] <_adam> hen: systat is basically a package of tools
[08:02] <_adam> that contain sar, vmstat etc
[08:02] <thechris> Hahn: ok, well in that case casper-snapshot is mounted somewhere.
[08:02] <ToM-> So I guess I'd need to enable some drivers during boot, but I can't fid any drivers
[08:02] <_jason> thechris: he's on a livecd trying to mount his regular ubuntu root (don't know if i told you this)
[08:02] <mikere> Anyone know how to create an odbc data source in linux?
[08:03] <LNova> _jason?
[08:03] <_jason> LNova: yes
[08:03] <LNova> it is hda2
[08:03] <Nogimics> ok _jason that does not let me. What does the sudo command do then? how come it shows as being in root when using sudo su root ?
[08:03] <Madpilot> ToM-: is this some sort of RAID array, or just ine IDE HD?
[08:03] <hen> _adam, i'm not convinced its an IO issue anymore
[08:03] <_adam> hen: how come?
[08:03] <pixelfairy> Nogimics: try sudo -s when you want a root shell
[08:03] <thechris> Hahn: ah -- try:  mkdir /mnt/ubuntu; mount /dev/mapper/Ubuntu-root /mnt/ubuntu
[08:03] <Madpilot> Nogimics: have you read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo ?
[08:03] <ToM-> Madpilot: I do have raid possibility, but it's not in use
[08:03] <owner> nogimics, sudo -i or sudo su creates a root shell for your account
[08:03] <fsf_rocks> read?
[08:03] <_jason> Nogimics: it's better if you do 'sudo -i' to get a root prompt
[08:04] <hen> _adam, well, i get skips with apparently no IO
[08:04] <_adam> interesting
[08:04] <fsf_rocks> manuals?
[08:04] <CodeNinja> gd error (glide): Can't find or access Banshee/V3 board
[08:04] <CodeNinja> Aborted
[08:04] <CodeNinja> thats my erroe
[08:04] <Madpilot> ToM-: then your HDDs should just work, AFAIK... not sure why they aren't for you
[08:04] <tonyyarusso> Do gdesklets automatically run at login?  How can I make them if not?
[08:04] <pixelfairy> Nogimics: man sudo and read that page
[08:04] <Hahn> My asshole mother is dragging me into the shower.
[08:04] <martin__> can anyone help with my myth tv install
[08:04] <Hahn> Back soon.
[08:04] <ToM-> that's what I'm wondering
[08:04] <_adam> wtf?
[08:04] <_jason> LNova: on th livecd: sudo mkdir /mnt/ubuntuhd && sudo mount /dev/hda2/ /mnt/ubuntuhd
[08:04] <mikere> Hahn: you shower with your mother?
[08:05] <hen> _adam, as I said earlier, i have had latency issues in the past, only solving them with a custom kernel
[08:05] <fsf_rocks> lol
[08:05] <tonyyarusso> Well that's a disturbing picture.
[08:05] <fsf_rocks> very
[08:05] <_adam> hen: there could be some pre-empt options in the kernel that are not set
[08:05] <ToM-> Madpilot: I'll try the live cd later and try to find the right drivers
[08:05] <CodeNinja> one i think i'll ignore
[08:05] <zalakain> hi
[08:05] <hen> i'll look into it
[08:05] <fsf_rocks> rgr
[08:05] <SkrotFFS> Hi. I'm trying to install ubuntu on a Acer Travelmate 3000-series (anyone got one btw?), and there seems to be problem with the sound. I've read a couple of webpages about it, and it appears that the problem lies with APIC. I want to be sure however, how do I find out if the problems (alsa does not discover my audi card)  are APIC-related?
[08:05] <owner> yikes hahn
[08:05] <hen> what package contains the kernel soure?
[08:05] <owner> i didnt know kids used ubuntu
[08:05] <owner> that young
[08:05] <owner> hehe
[08:05] <_adam> hen: i know once you go sata you dont have to worry about dma, etc anymore :)
[08:05] <zalakain> how can i know the processes that are using ppp0 interface?
[08:05] <_adam> hen: you can get a cheapo controller too
[08:06] <tonyyarusso> hen, linux-source-($uname -r)
[08:06] <CodeNinja> owner: edubuntu
[08:06] <CodeNinja> lol
[08:06] <mikere> SkrotFFS, hmm... you have to pass a kernel parameter of noapic and/or nolapic for stuff like that for most linux distros.  not sure how to set it up in ubuntu tho
[08:06] <hen> _adam, not for a laptop I can't ;)
[08:06] <owner> ya lol
[08:06] <_adam> hen: ahh
[08:06] <SkrotFFS> mikere: I've actually got it installed, I boot with noapic, but I wan't to know if it's apic's fault sound is not working or not :>
[08:06] <_adam> hen: there may be some kernel options you can pass in grub
[08:07] <_adam> hen: like noapic
[08:07] <_adam> hen: does your system respond better with the adapter cord plugged in?
[08:07] <hen> _adam, I'll take a look at the kernel. Is there anything I need to know about that is ubuntu specific in installing a new kernel?
[08:07] <mikere> SkrotFFS, ah, sorry, no idea.  Using an Asus Z71V lappy here and I got lucky and stuff just seems to work (had a bit of work getting wpa-psk working is all)
[08:07] <owner> !edubuntu
[08:07] <ubotu> I heard edubuntu is an Ubuntu version suitable for classroom use. See http://edubuntu.org or visit #edubuntu
[08:07] <CodeNinja> so do i accually have to have a good graphics card to play UT of ran i change a config somwhere.  my card ran it in xp
[08:07] <_adam> hen: not sure ive only been running it a couple of days ;)
[08:08] <SkrotFFS> mikere: Most of the stuff works here also :)
[08:08] <_adam> im a fedora/rh person normally
[08:08] <_adam> :D
[08:08] <owner> codeninja what card do you have
[08:08] <owner> ati or nvidia i assume
[08:08] <hen> _adam, Its skipping both times
[08:08] <SkrotFFS> But does anyone know how to identify apic-problems?
[08:08] <CodeNinja> oh no owner
[08:08] <CodeNinja> i have the fabled
[08:08] <_adam> hen: hmm ok that could rule out power management problems then
[08:08] <CodeNinja> the wonderfull
[08:08] <CodeNinja> integrated
[08:09] <CodeNinja> intel EXTREME integrated
[08:09] <owner> ok
[08:09] <SkrotFFS> hm, brb
[08:09] <owner> i think they do release linux drivers
[08:09] <CodeNinja> oh the sarcasm
[08:09] <hen> gah! crappy skipping
[08:09] <_adam> hen: :(
[08:09] <CodeNinja> owner, do i need one?
[08:09] <CodeNinja> everything else works fine
[08:09] <owner> well it will be better than vesa
[08:09] <owner> if thats what you are using
[08:10] <tonyyarusso> How should one go about encouraging TI to release a Linux driver for their card readers (for laptops)?
[08:10] <LiNova> _jason?
[08:10] <CodeNinja> tuxracer runs without a skip
[08:10] <_adam> tonyyarusso: praying
[08:10] <fsf_rocks> tpmuuarrispp = make a case via email or call them
[08:10] <tonyyarusso> _adam, Well, I guess that's one way.
[08:10] <owner> tony, keep phoning them up
[08:10] <witless> mplayer http://<IP_ADDRESS>/ram/feature/0106/btv010706_4.ram  <-- someone do that and tell me if it works
[08:10] <hen> _adam, does the kernel source package come with the correct .config?
[08:11] <_adam> hen: good question im not sure honestly
[08:11] <_adam> wouldnt hurt to download and check if you got the space
[08:11] <tonyyarusso> owner, Does that generally seem to be more effective then e-mails?
[08:11] <owner> it doesnt work for me witless
[08:11] <_jason> LNova: you there?
[08:11] <owner> mplayer cant play any real media for  me
[08:11] <witless> owner: avisynth error
[08:11] <fsf_rocks> tpmuuarrispp -- most firms dont really understand the business opportunity with open sourcing thier stuff
[08:11] <owner> but real player can
[08:11] <_adam> hen: i think there should be a copy of the config in /boot
[08:11] <owner> no it just stops
[08:11] <_adam> you could copy over to the kernel source
[08:11] <hen> _adam, yeah there is
[08:12] <_adam> hen: that would work too ;)
[08:12] <_jason> witless: you asked this before... we told you it works
[08:12] <fsf_rocks> tpmuuarrispp -- I should say most traditional "closed source" firms dont really understand the business opportunity with open sourcing thier stuff
[08:12] <witless> mplayer?  i get avisynth error, and i've installed w32 codecs
[08:12] <owner> they dont need to open source
[08:12] <owner> they can provide closed linux drivers
[08:12] <liam_> can anyone tell me how to change from gstreamer to the w32codecs?
[08:13] <fsf_rocks> owner - true .. but not optimal
[08:13] <fsf_rocks> owner =)
[08:13] <owner> if they can make it for macs they can make it for linux
[08:13] <owner> imho
[08:13] <_jason> owner: mplayer -playlist that_url_u_pasted
[08:13] <fsf_rocks> owner agreed
[08:14] <owner> its downloading jason
[08:14] <magsSA> good evening :) anybody got a moment to help someone intrested in abuntu/linux please
[08:14] <_jason> owner: you can pass '-cache 50' for it to cache less if you have a good connection
[08:14] <tonyyarusso> magsSA, Just go ahead and ask your question.
[08:15] <owner> it doesnt play well still jason
[08:15] <owner> the sound is like 10x too fast
[08:15] <MachineScrew> can any one here help me get my server on the Internet
[08:15] <Chris_Tucker> im probably the 3 trillionth person to ask this but.. whats up with the forums? and when can they be expected to be back up?
[08:15] <gaz-> anyone recommend a good ftpd server
[08:15] <fsf_rocks> gaz- vsftpd
[08:15] <magsSA> tonyyarusso i have never worked with abuntu/linux where will i find help to learn how to work with it ?
[08:15] <coolboy> gaz: vsftpd or proftpd
[08:16] <hafedh> hi
[08:16] <gaz-> coolboy,  they easy to configure?
[08:16] <tonyyarusso> magsSA, Right here, my friend.
[08:16] <witless> alsa-space: xrun of at least 0.132 msecs. resetting stream0.4% 6 0 15%
[08:16] <witless>   over and over and over...  stuttering output....
[08:16] <coolboy> gaz: yep
[08:16] <Chris_Tucker> magsSA, probably the forums.. when the work
[08:16] <fsf_rocks> gaz - both are pretty simple
[08:16] <_jason> owner: yeah that happens with me too, read 'man mplayer' there are some things you can do but I don't know enough about it.  You can try #mplayer too
[08:16] <tonyyarusso> magsSA, The wiki is also good.
[08:16] <Madpilot> magsSA: the Ubuntu wiki is a good place to start: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserDocumentation
[08:16] <magsSA> ok where will i find the most patient teacher
[08:16] <MachineScrew> can any one here help me get my server on the Internet
[08:17] <aLPHa_LeaK> what kind of server? apache?
[08:17] <MachineScrew> i have a dyndns account
[08:17] <owner> i think kmplayer is way better than mplayer
[08:17] <MachineScrew> aLPHa_LeaK, ya
[08:17] <owner> too bad it doesnt have a mozilla plugin
[08:17] <fsf_rocks> gaz - check out http://www.howtoforge.net/taxonomy/term/35
[08:17] <_jason> owner: kmplayer doesn't get out of sync ?
[08:17] <magsSA> thank u :) will go peek at the wiki
[08:17] <tonyyarusso> magsSA, Well, if you're reading the wiki or forums, that would be yourself, because you can read at whatever pace you want.
[08:17] <owner> i didnt notice that problem with it jason
[08:18] <tonyyarusso> magsSA, When you get stuck, this channel is pretty friendly to new users.
[08:18] <MachineScrew> whats a good port for apache
[08:18] <owner> it works really well with konqueror
[08:18] <magsSA> thanks :) have a wonderful day
[08:18] <Chris_Tucker> magsSA, the most patient teacher of linux would probably be a good book... allthough there are less patient people around that save you that money ;) like us.. ask a question.. it will get answered by someone.
[08:18] <MachineScrew> other than 80
[08:18] <magsSA> lol ok im sure ill be back soon
[08:18] <magsSA> bye all
[08:18] <tonyyarusso> magsSA, We await your return.
[08:18] <robotic> did anyone here install ubuntu from an ISO image on a hard disk before ?
[08:18] <fsf_rocks> machinescrew -- why?
[08:19] <ubuntu> list
[08:19] <tonyyarusso> robotic, No, how do you do that?
[08:19] <fsf_rocks> machinescrew -- you on an ISP that blocks 80?
[08:19] <MachineScrew> fsf_rocks, I am trying to get my apache web server on the net and my router uses 80
[08:19] <Chris_Tucker> im probably the 3 trillionth person to ask this but.. whats up with the forums? and when can they be expected to be back up?
[08:19] <MachineScrew> fsf_rocks, and yes
[08:19] <witless> finally, -playlist and "srate=48000" in mplayer.conf fixed it
[08:19] <witless> so far at least
[08:20] <MachineScrew> my ISP blocks 80
[08:20] <nishant> Hey Ubuntu Using PPl!!!!
[08:20] <fsf_rocks> machinescrew -- ok -- 8080 will work or reconfigure your router to use another port
[08:20] <robotic> tonyyarusso: first copy the image to another partition,then get the necessary files for that kind of install from the net, then some other stuff..if you2RE interested I'll look up the urls
[08:20] <MachineScrew> ok
[08:20] <fsf_rocks> machinescrew -- which router?
[08:20] <MachineScrew> Belkin
[08:20] <glacious> whew.  so xorg is fixed.  but i still can't change my refresh rate.
[08:20] <Amro> ive got a problem, ubuntu shows the round cursor then keeps switching between that and whatever was displayed before startup
[08:21] <glacious> i even specified 1280x1024@60 in the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, still not working =(
[08:21] <tonyyarusso> robotic, Would be fun to know if it's not too much trouble.
[08:21] <fsf_rocks> machinescrew -- ok I don't know if you can but you can use apache default 80 shared to the outside world by setting up firewall rules
[08:21] <owner> glacious what video card drivers are you using

[08:22] <glacious> owner: i do not have that program
[08:22] <owner> glacious are you using fglrx or ati
[08:23] <owner> because fglrx are the official ati drivers
[08:23] <glacious> owner: my monitor auto-throttles the refresh back to like 75 or 60hz, and displays an error in gnome/xorg.  but my desktop looks fine behind it.  i just need my video card to stop sending it a high refresh.
[08:23] <glacious> owner: ati
[08:23] <Chris_Tucker> gnomefreak, it doesnt.
[08:23] <hen> _adam, it doesn't have preempt on

[08:24] <owner> you have to install them
[08:24] <owner> there is a guide on the forums but the forums are down
[08:24] <tonyyarusso> [dEvIL-bOY] , Some things are available on the CD, otherwise you're out of luck.
[08:24] <glacious> owner: i've gone through the guide to chaning refresh many times, even have done modelines.
[08:24] <Amro> anyone have a solution to my prob?
[08:25] <glacious> owner: but no matter what i change in xorg.conf, it ALWAYS shows just 85hz, and ALL resolutions.
[08:25] <glacious> owner: when in xorg/gnome
[08:25] <[dEvIL-bOY] > but would it be possible to download that package and put it on a usb pen and then install it?
[08:25] <Hahn> Okay. I'm back.
[08:25] <tonyyarusso> [dEvIL-bOY] , If you know what you'll want later, absolutely.
[08:25] <hen> does anyone know, if I install a new kernel, do I have compile my own nvidia modules?
[08:25] <glacious> owner: ahh, so you mean install and use different drivers.
[08:25] <owner> usually hen
[08:25] <tonyyarusso> [dEvIL-bOY] , Make sure to grab its dependencies too.
[08:25] <glacious> owner: any idea what apt-get install to do to get them?
[08:25] <owner> yes glacious
[08:25] <Hahn> Thanks for your help, but I'll just reinstall Ubuntu. What filesystem type should I use this time?
[08:26] <hen> owner, cheers
[08:26] <[dEvIL-bOY] > any ideas how to do that?
[08:26] <owner> they are in the restricted kernel module glacious

[08:26] <tonyyarusso> [dEvIL-bOY] , http://packages.ubuntu.com/ will get you to whatever you need.
[08:26] <Hahn> I'll be going now.
[08:26] <[dEvIL-bOY] > cool
[08:27] <glacious> owner: ok, for my ATI card i want fglrx.  then just change 'ati' to 'fglrx' in xorg.conf and i should be good?
[08:27] <[dEvIL-bOY] > cheers tonyyarusso going there now
[08:27] <owner> yes you can do that glacious

[08:29] <sedat> is there anybody have ever installed cvsd on ubuntu
[08:29] <fsf_rocks> machinescrew -- or you can run a dyn dns client on your linux box
[08:29] <sedat> and try to connect it with pserver
[08:29] <tonyyarusso> blackthorne, What kind of net connection?
[08:29] <robotic> tonyyarusso:...so I get the ISO image of breezy and the files at http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/breezy/main/installer-i386/current//images/hd-media/...
[08:29] <blackthorne> tonyyarusso: i have the cd at my side
[08:29] <sedat> is there anybody have ever installed cvsd on ubuntu and try to connect it with pserver
[08:29] <lukus001> does anyone know how to set the port to use to join a channel
[08:30] <lukus001> in xchat that is
[08:30] <blackthorne> this is really important, try to be precise...
[08:30] <robotic> tonyyarusso:...and then put them in for example c:\ubuntu...
[08:30] <gnomefreak> blackthorne, it depends on your pc and cdrom speed but normally around 1 -1/2 hrs
[08:30] <tonyyarusso> blackthorne, It will try to get stuff from online too, I'm not sure what happens if you do it CD only (never tried).
[08:30] <blackthorne> ok
[08:30] <tonyyarusso> robotic, Following so far.
[08:30] <sedat> is there anybody have ever installed cvsd on ubuntu and try to connect it with pserver
[08:30] <blackthorne> tonyyarusso: my connection is ok. 16 mb DSL
[08:30] <robotic> tonyyarusso:...then boot into debian and modify my menu.lst to include the following:...
[08:31] <blackthorne> one more question i will also need to install cedega
[08:31] <sedat> is there anybody have ever installed cvsd on ubuntu and try to connect it with pserver
[08:31] <tonyyarusso> gnomefreak, (blackthorne) That much you think?  Mine have been more like 45 minutes.
[08:31] <blackthorne> does synaptic allow to do it ?
[08:31] <gnomefreak> lukus001, it should connect through 6667 by default
[08:31] <sedat> is there anybody have ever installed cvsd on ubuntu and try to connect it with pserver
[08:31] <gnomefreak> tonyyarusso, mine takes about 45 mins too but other people have said thiers takes longer
[08:31] <martin__> hi can anyone help me myth tv wont install on my pc
[08:31] <tonyyarusso> gnomefreak, Ah.
[08:32] <sedat> is there anybody have ever installed cvsd on ubuntu and try to connect it with pserver
[08:32] <gnomefreak> so im being on safe side :)
[08:32] <blackthorne> is it possible to install cedega on Ubuntu using synaptic?
[08:32] <gee> question without a quick answer on google... how easy is it to get ubuntu to do a ntp sync *after* launching pcmcia? i'm using a pcmcia network card.
[08:32] <robotic> tonyyarusso:...title ubuntu <newline> kernel (hd0,0)/ubuntu/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 <newline> initrd (hd0,0)/ubuntu/initrd.gz...
[08:32] <gnomefreak> blackthorne, i don think so i think you have to download and install it froma site
[08:32] <coolboy> how do I play a .wav file?
[08:32] <MachineScrew> is it possible to change my default apache dir
[08:32] <robotic> tonyyarusso:...and then select "ubuntu" from grub at next boot...
[08:33] <fsf_rocks> machinescrew -- YES -- see apache documentation
[08:33] <mwe> coolboy: aplay foobar.wav is one way
[08:33] <fsf_rocks> machinescrew -- YES -- see apache documentation -- http://httpd.apache.org/docs/
[08:33] <blackthorne> sorry for so many questions. Could anyone point out a site with a working pre-compiled version of cedega for ubuntu ?
[08:33] <robotic> tonyyarusso:...BUT the thing is, I never get to choose which packets to install; the installer jumps straight to the language selection...
[08:33] <MachineScrew> fsf_rocks, I know it is i just want the quick answer yes then where
[08:33] <tonyyarusso> robotic, That's strange.
[08:34] <gnomefreak> !cedega
[08:34] <ubotu> from memory, cedega is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Cedega and for a list of working games see http://www.transgaming.org/gamesdb or #cedega or http://www.frankscorner.org/
[08:34] <robotic> tonyyarusso: indeed :)
[08:34] <Seveas> blackthorne, such a thing would be illegal
[08:34] <coolboy> mwe what do I do?
[08:34] <owner> cedega had a free trial
[08:34] <owner> you can look on their website
[08:34] <gnomefreak> blackthorne, ^^^ that is how you would obtain cedega
[08:34] <mwe> coolboy: type aplay file.wav in a terminal
[08:34] <coolboy> k thx
[08:34] <tonyyarusso> robotic, Might consider making !isoinstall?
[08:35] <zerdest21> alo
[08:35] <blackthorne> Seveas: is it illegal to compile it ?
[08:35] <mwe> coolboy: or use your favorite media player
[08:35] <blackthorne> i am not sure about cedega but it was possible to do it in winex
[08:35] <robotic> tonyyarusso: how ? where ?
[08:35] <Mr> hey, can anyone here help me with compiling a program, the ubuntu wiki was less then helpfull
[08:35] <sedat> is there anybody have ever installed cvsd on ubuntu and try to connect it with pserver
[08:35] <owner> i think they only have the source available for the older version of cedega
[08:36] <eugman> Mr d you haVE BUILD-ESSENTIAL
[08:36] <mwe> Mr: install "build-essential". then ./configure && make && sudo make install
[08:36] <eugman> ACK CAPS
[08:36] <Mr> roger that.
[08:36] <fsf_rocks> machinescrew -- YES -- see apache documentation -- http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#documentroot
[08:36] <Seveas> blackthorne, it is illegal to distribute compiled versions
[08:36] <gnomefreak> Mr once it is unpacked open the new file and read the README or INSTALL files
[08:36] <coolboy> mwe i get this error: aplay: test_wavefile:714: can't play not PCM-coded WAVE-files
[08:36] <mwe> Mr: or use checkinstall instead of sudo make install
[08:36] <mwe> Mr: for integration with apt
[08:37] <mwe> coolboy: is your sound working at all?
[08:37] <fsf_rocks> machinescrew -- you gotta read the docs - people can give you simple answers all you want but if dont read it you will not know
[08:37] <jo> Bonsoir
[08:37] <coolboy> mwe yes it's working and i can play mp3's  ogg's and so on
[08:37] <Delvien> What games run good on Cedega?
[08:37] <blackthorne> Seveas: i understand. Illegal to distribute but not illegal to use it, i guess.

[08:38] <eugman> oh it just lists game that work nvm
[08:38] <blue-frog> blackthorne, you have to pay each month to use cedega (except with the cvs version
[08:38] <tonyyarusso> I'm glad someone can recognize which language people are looking for...
[08:39] <coolboy> some one elso know: when i try play wav i get this: aplay: test_wavefile:714: can't play not PCM-coded WAVE-files
[08:39] <Mr> mwe: how do i do the ./configure command, in my terminal?
[08:40] <cold> anyone know how to boot ubuntu from the install disk ?
[08:40] <RobinL> ubuntuforums.org... doomed?
[08:40] <glacious> owner: hey...
[08:40] <glacious> owner: i'd just like to thank you, so very much.
[08:40] <mwe> Mr: right. in the source dir
[08:40] <eugman> tony you don't need to speak a language to recognize it
[08:40] <mwe> Mr: Read README for further info
[08:40] <blackthorne> well
[08:40] <Mr> mwe: whenever i do ./configure, i get no such file or directory
[08:40] <glacious> owner: i've spent many hours in here on and the web searching for the past week and a half, and your solution worked perfectly, the first time.
[08:40] <blackthorne> i will try something else, then to get cedega
[08:40] <tonyyarusso> eugman, Well, no, but I'm not so great on that front either.
[08:40] <glacious> mwe: i fixed the refresh =)   Ubuntu here i come.
[08:40] <blackthorne> thanks all
[08:41] <mwe> glacious: oh how?
[08:41] <coolboy> some one elso know: when i try play wav i get this: aplay: test_wavefile:714: can't play not PCM-coded WAVE-files
[08:41] <owner> np glacious
[08:41] <robotic> !isoinstall
[08:41] <ubotu> robotic: What?
[08:41] <tonyyarusso> To modify then:
[08:41] <eugman> mr are you in the right directory?
[08:41] <eugman> you have cd first you know that right?
[08:41] <nuller> Howdy...
[08:41] <mwe> glacious: what did you do to fix it?
[08:41] <Mr> eugman: the directory which the files desired to be compiled are
[08:41] <tonyyarusso> eugman, How's that?
[08:42] <immolo> Heya, Does anyone here know how to setup an ntl cable modem on linux?
[08:42] <LNova> Is _jason here?
[08:42] <coolboy> some one elso know: when i try play wav i get this: aplay: test_wavefile:714: can't play not PCM-coded WAVE-files
[08:42] <glacious> mwe: stopped using 'ati', and now i use fglrx
[08:42] <aLPHa_LeaK> Mr, maaybe try ./Configure ?
[08:42] <mwe> glacious: oh
[08:42] <mwe> glacious: then the modelines work now?
[08:42] <Mr> alpha_leak:no luck, still no such file or directory
[08:42] <nuller> I've installed and compiled ndiswrapper but modprobe ndiswrapper always gives me "module ndiswrapper not found"
[08:43] <glacious> mwe: owner told me to install fglrx-control, then i used it's configuration program, it wrote me a nice new xorg.conf, and everything works fine.  All refreshes, all resolutions i selected, all in there, and work in xorg/gnome
[08:43] <eugman> my last two lines were to mr.  And I'm an american too can I can at least tell if something is german french or spanish. of course I can't tell portugese from spanish
[08:43] <coolboy>  when i try play wav i get this: aplay: test_wavefile:714: can't play not PCM-coded WAVE-files
[08:43] <glacious> mwe: never even made a modeline, just ran the fglrx config, instead of the xorg one.  it made it's own xorg.conf and works beautifully.
[08:43] <mwe> glacious: so the "ati" driver just ignores your settings and uses the refresh rate it wants to?
[08:44] <blue-frog> nuller, use ndiswrapper from ubuntu cd, should give you more result...
[08:44] <lysis> how can i tell if the fglrx driver is active?
[08:44] <glacious> mwe: that seems to be the case, yes.
[08:44] <eugman> mr type ls in the terminal and see if any files have the word configure inthem
[08:44] <mwe> !tell lysis about ati
[08:44] <mwe> glacious: that sucks though. glad you got it to work
[08:44] <coolboy>  when i try play wav i get this: aplay: test_wavefile:714: can't play not PCM-coded WAVE-files
[08:45] <gnomefreak> coolboy, you can stop repeating it if someone knows they will help you
[08:45] <eugman> ubotu: tell coolboy about patience
[08:45] <glacious> mwe: i am very happy as well.  i'm tyring to make linux my 100% desktop again, with school, work, even gaming.  we'll see how it goes =)
[08:45] <Mr> eugman: when i type ls configure, it gives me no such file or directory
[08:45] <aLPHa_LeaK> Mr, just type ls
[08:45] <owner> mr try ./configure
[08:45] <coolboy> sr
[08:45] <gnomefreak> mr your not cd'ed into the newly created file
[08:45] <mwe> glacious: yeah. but you didn't customize the refresh rate then? the default just happens to work?
[08:45] <eugman> he did try ./configure
[08:45] <glacious> mwe: no, fglrxconfig <--- ran that
[08:46] <mwe> glacious: but what did it do that sets the refresh?
[08:46] <glacious> mwe: and i entered in everything manually, told it what refresh / rez to use, and it used it.
[08:46] <tonyyarusso> I keep getting this in my system mail, what should I do?: /etc/cron.daily/man-db: ; mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/man1/rmic.1.gz is a dangling symlink
[08:46] <glacious> mwe: 1280x1024 @ 75hz
[08:46] <Mr> Ok, i type ls, and it says the files in my directory, all of them
[08:46] <eugman> mr. are you in the parent directory r the src diretory of the parent
[08:46] <nubbe> is ubuntuforums.org down?
[08:46] <mwe> glacious: hmm. care to pastebin your xorg.conf?
[08:46] <glacious> mwe: i really don't know.  it's using the fglrx drive, no longer the ati driver that was built in with Ubuntu install.
[08:46] <eugman> yes nubbe
[08:46] <owner> yes nubbe
[08:46] <nubbe> okithanks
[08:47] <Mr> eugman: im not reading you, im just in the directory that my file that needs to be compiled was extracted to
[08:47] <glacious> mwe: it just seems like the ATI driver didn't care about xorg.conf, and would use some sort of default.
[08:47] <glacious> mwe: yes, i will.  brb
[08:47] <mwe> thanks
[08:47] <lysis> mwe, i installed fglrx months back, i just want to make sure i did it right.  is there a way to do that?
[08:47] <Navire> Someone help with HTB?
[08:47] <Navire>  MATCH dont work correct
[08:47] <lysis> without repeating the entire process that is.
[08:47] <owner> type fglrxinfo lysis
[08:47] <owner> in a terminal
[08:47] <mwe> lysis: glxinfo|grep direct
[08:48] <mwe> lysis: see if you have direct rendering that way
[08:48] <eugman> Mr. Ok There is often a /src/ directory inside of such directories. thought you migt have been mistakenly i tere
[08:48] <coolboy>  when i try play wav i get this: aplay: test_wavefile:714: can't play not PCM-coded WAVE-files
[08:48] <gnomefreak> mr can you tell me what dir you are in right now
[08:48] <eugman> When you typed ls where there any files with the word configure in the name
[08:49] <glacious> mwe: http://www.pastebin.com/517890
[08:49] <lysis> it says i do not.    i should do the entire fglrx install over then; correct?
[08:49] <Mr> EugmanL it didnt say
[08:49] <Mr> eugman: nothing has the configure in the title of it
[08:49] <mwe> coolboy: try "play" from sox instead
[08:49] <gnomefreak> mr tell me what the command prompt sasy<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[08:50] <coolboy> mwe: what's sox?
[08:50] <e> is this correct for ubuntu?? it is assumed that /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware is a valid hotplug directory.
[08:50] <Mr> gnomefreak: huh?
[08:50] <e> i found several dirs...
[08:50] <john_> hy
[08:50] <gnomefreak> Mr in terminal do you see before the $ what does it say
[08:51] <john_> ANY ONE HERE
[08:51] <eugman> Ok mr thats why ./configure isn't wrking. N confiure script. Either wrong directory or wrong source files.

[08:52] <talios> hey all -  is there an easy way to remove -all- of kde?  just removing the 'kde' doesn't pull up any dependencies, nor does kde-base or kde-core
[08:52] <mwe> glacious: thanks
[08:52] <Daillew> yes
[08:52] <glacious> mwe: ahh ok.  no problem.  and thank you again for all of your help.

[08:53] <Mr> gnomefreak: run command not found
[08:53] <eugman> So you a shortcut on your desktop?
[08:53] <tonyyarusso> talios, I was told to remove the qt library, which got almost all of it at least.
[08:53] <glacious> is there a 'steam' package for Valve?  (half life2, day of defeat, etc...?)
[08:53] <humboldt> I am having trouble making nvidia glx work on my laptop
[08:53] <MachineScrew> in order for other people to see my web site don't i have to modify hosts.allow and deny
[08:53] <talios> owner, yeh - I was hopeing the removal would have been as easy as the 'apt-get install kde' install was.
[08:54] <humboldt> I did everything the normal way
[08:54] <ubuntu> yes
[08:54] <Mr> "visualboyadvance" is not a directory
[08:54] <gnomefreak> Mr your not in right dir did you already unpack the tar?
[08:54] <coolboy> mwe: thx it works
[08:54] <eugman> ah ok
[08:54] <mwe> glacious: seems it's actually using your VertRefresh setting
[08:54] <stukas> hi, i got a problem. i can read CDs but i cant read DVDs. ubuntu says "No medium found". the drive and the DVDs (data, not movies) worked with every linux i had before.. what might be the problem ?
[08:54] <mwe> coolboy: yw
[08:54] <owner> talios try removing arts
[08:54] <talios> tonyyarusso, that'd do it :)
[08:54] <mianiak> hi, i just installed the os but i can ssh from an external computer on my network. is there any doc pages that can help me out here?
[08:54] <owner> the kde sound manager
[08:54] <Mr> gnomefreak: its allready been unpacked, and its in the folder on my desktop
[08:54] <tonyyarusso> What's the story behind apt-get moo?
[08:54] <owner> that has a lot of dependencies
[08:54] <coolboy> ubotu: tell stukas about dvd
[08:54] <humboldt> but glxinfo keeps telling me that direct rendering is off
[08:54] <mwe> glacious: unlike the other driver
[08:54] <eugman> ok what is the harddive called ubuntu?
[08:54] <glacious> mwe: yes.  but the thing is, those settings specified in that new xorg.conf, actually show up in xorg/gnome now for me to select.  So it actually uses them, with the old ATI driver, it never used them
[08:54] <glacious> mwe: exactly.
[08:55] <LiNova> _jason?
[08:55] <ubuntu> it is called playground
[08:55] <bimberi> talios: removing libqt3-mt will take most of kde with it.  Note it might take other apps you want to keep (Skype, k3b...)
[08:55] <mwe> glacious: I guess the standard "ati" driver just plain sucks
[08:55] <glacious> mwe: i'd believe it =)
[08:55] <gnomefreak> Mr you might have a bad tar than but if you cd into the new file that the unpack made ./configure should work
[08:56] <talios> bimberi, one could always reinstall the 2-3 bits one needs :)
[08:56] <john_> HELLO
[08:56] <Mr> gnomefreak: i said thetar is unpacked..... i aim in the file the unpack made......
[08:56] <bimberi> talios: indeed :)
[08:56] <talios> "After unpacking 429MB disk space will be freed.
[08:56] <talios> " w00t :)

[08:59] <bimberi> martin__: you need to add the multiverse repository (and maybe universe as well) ...
[08:59] <eugman> ubuntu, So if you have an con on your desktop what are you trying t do?
[08:59] <Mr> gnomefreaK: all their is is 4 text files and an executable

[09:00] <bimberi> gnomefreak: :)
[09:00] <ubuntu> yes, I want to try to install OX S on this lap top.  I need to navigate to the external hard drive to use the command, "dd bs=1048576 if=./tiger-x86-flat.img of=/dev/hda"  but i can't get to the drive to use the command.
[09:00] <LiNova> I can't seem to be able to access any of the programs in the system => admin menu in breezy, they just donn't load.
[09:00] <martin__> thx

[09:01] <LiNova> I can't seem to be able to access any of the programs in the system => admin menu in breezy, they just donn't load. _jason was in the middle of helping me, bu he seems to have gone now. Apparently my sudoers is fine.

[09:01] <Dagda> Hi, I have a quick question about ubuntuforums.org, is it down ?
[09:01] <kevlarweste> is there a irc like this in german?
[09:01] <eugman> actually don't do tat, open that in a nautilus window.
[09:01] <glacious> mwe: how can i enable that?
[09:01] <mwe> glacious: how did you install fglrx?
[09:01] <glacious> from gnome with synaptic
[09:01] <gnomefreak> mr you need to read that file it tells you what you need to install before ./configure
[09:02] <glacious> mwe: from gnome with synaptic
[09:02] <airox> I installed ubuntu and I know my monitor can have 1600x1200 so I added the HorizSync and VertRefresh to my xorg.conf config file. Now I can run 1600x1200. But I can't seem to run 1280x1024 in refresh rates higher then 75Hz. How could this be ?
[09:02] <mwe> glacious: hmm
[09:02] <tonyyarusso> kevlarweste, #ubuntu-de
[09:02] <cold> anyone know what parameters to pass to the ubuntu installation disk to get it to boot my ubuntu distro ?
[09:02] <eugman> ubuntu you should see some folders in /media/ the hardrive should be ne.
[09:02] <eugman> er one
[09:02] <kevlarweste> #ubuntu-de
[09:02] <ubuntu> a nautilus window?
[09:02] <ubuntu> i see folders in the media$
[09:02] <ubuntu> i see playground
[09:02] <ubuntu> this is in terminal window
[09:02] <ubuntu> using 'ls'
[09:03] <mwe> glacious: ls -l /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2. what's the size of that?
[09:03] <eugman> well that shuld work te same then
[09:03] <glacious> mwe: is there a line in xorg.conf that enables/disables it?
[09:03] <tonyyarusso> kevlarweste, You can join other channels with '/join #channelname'
[09:03] <glacious> mwe:  634636
[09:03] <mwe> glacious: it's enabled in xorg.conf
[09:03] <eugman> anyways you should use /media/playgrund/
[09:03] <eugman> normally hardrives are mounted as /media/hda1 and such
[09:04] <ubuntu> i tried tying cd /media ,  /playground but nothing happens
[09:04] <mianiak> nm i figured itout
[09:04] <mwe> glacious: have on in /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 as well?
[09:04] <ubuntu> so try hdal
[09:04] <eugman> wait ubuntu,
[09:04] <ubuntu> k
[09:04] <RobinL> how do i completely switch to Kubuntu from Ubuntu?
[09:04] <eugman> when you cd to /media/ and type ls you see playground right?
[09:04] <ubuntu> yes
[09:05] <LiNova> I can't seem to be able to access any of the programs in the system => admin menu in breezy, they just donn't load. _jason was in the middle of helping me, bu he seems to have gone now. Apparently my sudoers is fine. Does anyone know what's wrong?
[09:05] <glacious> mwe: no
[09:05] <eugman> try cd playground/
[09:05] <eugman> without the starting slash
[09:05] <mwe> glacious: hmm

[09:06] <glacious> mwe: no problem.  thank you =)
[09:06] <ubuntu> yes
[09:06] <glacious> does anyone know the package name for Valve Steam for halflife2 etc...?
[09:06] <eugman> if you type cd /media/ and then cd /playground/ you would go to te directory /playground/
[09:07] <tonyyarusso> I keep getting this in my system mail, what should I do?: /etc/cron.daily/man-db: ; mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/man1/rmic.1.gz is a dangling symlink
[09:07] <wix123> good

[09:07] <yaas> Hello, can any1 help me?? im getting this error on the installation "The debootstrap program exited with an eror
[09:07] <ubuntu> ahh I see.
[09:07] <wix123> what the user nobody do in passwd?!
[09:07] <yaas> Hello, can any1 help me?? im getting this error on the installation "The debootstrap program exited with an error"
[09:08] <ubuntu> eugman, when I try to use my command dd.... it says permission denied.
[09:08] <ubuntu> any ideas?
[09:08] <eugman> do you begin with sudo?
[09:08] <ubuntu> no
[09:08] <wix123> what the user nobody do in passwd?!
[09:08] <ubuntu> what do you mean sudo?
[09:08] <LNova> I can't seem to be able to access any of the programs in the system => admin menu in breezy, they just donn't load. _jason was in the middle of helping me, bu he seems to have gone now. Apparently my sudoers is fine. Does anyone know what's wrong?
[09:09] <hwntw> how can i redirect users who access my webpage to another webpage BUT allow users with a certain IP to view my website as normal ?
[09:09] <eugman> You need to type sudo before any command needing superuswer privileges
[09:09] <idefix_> ok great I now have a firewall on my PC... what good does this do?
[09:09] <ubuntu> ahhh
[09:09] <ubuntu> let me try
[09:09] <eugman> like sudo rm -rf /bobby/
[09:10] <wix123> what the user nobody do in passwd?!
[09:10] <eugman> ubotu: tell wiz123 about patience
[09:10] <idefix_> yeah and tell idefix_ about firewalls!
[09:10] <LNova> I can't seem to be able to access any of the programs in the system => admin menu in breezy, they just donn't load. _jason was in the middle of helping me, bu he seems to have gone now. Apparently my sudoers is fine. Does anyone know what's wrong?
[09:10] <ubuntu> it was rather uneventful.  it said 0+0 records in, 0+0 records out and 0 bytes transferred
[09:10] <idefix_> !kMyFirewall
[09:10] <ubotu> idefix_: Syntax error in line 1
[09:10] <glacious> is there a wine package?  or do you have to do a manual install?
[09:11] <bimberi> !wine
[09:11] <tonyyarusso> !info wine
[09:11] <bimberi> !+wine
[09:11] <ubotu> I guess wine is a compatibility layer used by linux to let it run (some) windows programs.  It's available in universe but a more recent version can be installed by adding "deb http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt/ binary/" to your sources.list.  More info at http://www.winehq.com or for support go to #winehq
[09:11] <ubotu> wine: (Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (Binary Emulator and Library)), section universe/otherosfs, is optional. Version: 0.0.20050725-0ubuntu1.1 (breezy), Packaged size: 14130 kB, Installed size: 55488 kB
[09:11] <eugman> Hmm I may be at n end of my helpfulness  but tell me the exact command you typed
[09:11] <wix123> help?
[09:11] <glacious> thank you
[09:11] <ubuntu>  sudo dd bs=1048576 if=./tiger-x86-flat.img of=/dev/hda
[09:12] <wix123> what the user nobody do in my /etc/passwd file?
[09:12] <ubuntu> however it seems to think the file is 0 bytes when I see properties in the folder
[09:12] <idefix_> why would one want the -f switch in the rm command?
[09:12] <idefix_> that's so stupid!
[09:12] <La_PaRCa> wix123, standard linux user. It there to run daemons and stuff.
[09:12] <idefix_> I'd like to know if the file I tried to delete doesn't exist
[09:13] <wix123> oh..
[09:13] <wix123> ok
[09:13] <eugman> hmmm
[09:13] <dell500> i just downloaded azureus, should i copy the folder with the app to ~/.azureus/?
[09:13] <ubuntu> i think that might be my problem
[09:13] <eugman> perhaps
[09:13] <idefix_> !KMyFirewall
[09:13] <ubotu> idefix_: Did you get hit by a windmill?
[09:14] <tonyyarusso> dell500, No, you'll have to install it.
[09:14] <bwlang> anybody tried skype with linux? is there a line i can put into sources.list?
[09:14] <glick> excuse me i installed gstreamer-ffmpeg and the w32codecs but when i try to play an avi in totem i only hear sound and see no video
[09:14] <glacious> hrmm, that line doesn't work for wine.  it says it can't find it.
[09:14] <glacious> it it supposed to have a space between apt/ and binary/?
[09:14] <ubuntu> i think so, i check it on my other machine and it seems to be corrupt.
[09:14] <wix123> when im install the chkrootkit from the Synaptic he didnt found anything...
[09:14] <ubuntu> thanks for your help
[09:15] <ubuntu> i am halfway there!

[09:15] <wix123> why?
[09:15] <yaas> Hello, can any1 help me?? im getting this error on the installation "The debootstrap program exited with an error" some1 please?
[09:15] <eugman> where are you coping the os two
[09:15] <tonyyarusso> dell500, This is probably an extracted tarball?

[09:15] <mianiak> hello
[09:15] <mianiak> is this thing on?

[09:16] <wix123> when im install the chkrootkit from the Synaptic he didnt found anything...
[09:16] <wix123> when im download it from they website.. he show.. -not tested-
[09:17] <tonyyarusso> dell500, In a terminal, cd into the directory it extracted to, do 'ls', and see if there's a file called 'configure'.
[09:17] <eugman> ah ok I duno how do much of anything about it not recognizing the size of the file.
[09:17] <wix123> why
[09:17] <dell500> tonyyarusso, k
[09:17] <aIk0n> glacious
[09:17] <dell500> tonyyarusso, nope, bunch of .so files though
[09:17] <ubuntu> when i went back to pc and tried to unzip it the iso file comes out with 0 bytes.  and winrar has an operation error.
[09:17] <glick> does anyone know why i can hear sound of an avi but not see the picture?
[09:17] <wix123> anyone?
[09:17] <eugman> oh qwait maybe I do
[09:17] <aIk0n> write this souce in /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:18] <aIk0n> deb http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt/ binary/
[09:18] <aIk0n> deb-src http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt/ source/
[09:18] <tonyyarusso> dell500, Anything like install, or something like that?
[09:18] <dell500> nope
[09:18] <SirKillalot> I installed the vsftpd package, can I use SSL with ftp now?
[09:18] <owner> i just compiled mplayer from source
[09:18] <owner> but xv support is disabled
[09:18] <wix123> eugman
[09:18] <wix123> when im install the chkrootkit from the Synaptic he didnt found anything...
[09:18] <wix123> when im download it from they website.. he show.. -not tested-
[09:18] <glacious> aIk0n: ahh, ok ty.
[09:18] <wix123> why?
[09:18] <glick> anyone?
[09:19] <nuller> glick, no codec?
[09:19] <idefix_> glick, you are extremely knowledgable, tell me about KMyFirewall
[09:19] <eugman> ubuntu are running gnome desktop right now?
[09:19] <glick> nuller, i downloaded the w32 codecs
[09:19] <glick> what else do i need?
[09:20] <ubuntu_> how would i mount a samba share that is on a windows computer when im on ubuntu?
[09:20] <mwe> glacious: so did you get direct rendering to work?
[09:21] <glacious> mwe: no idea how.
[09:21] <eugman> ubuntu__ can you get directory addres?
[09:21] <glacious> mwe: if it's enabled in xorg.conf, i wouldn't see why it's not working
[09:21] <Samineru> hey I'm having some trouble playing a movie on my computer
[09:22] <Samineru> I just played a tv show on dvd but now i can't watch a movie
[09:22] <mwe> glacious: there could be various reasons
[09:22] <mwe> glacious: LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo| grep -i error
[09:22] <eugman> Actually nvm ubuntu_ I probably can't help you.
[09:22] <mwe> glacious: try that
[09:22] <glick> i thought i followed the directions on the restricted formats website
[09:22] <dell500> tonyyarusso, any other solution?
[09:22] <mwe> ubuntu_: install smbfs and read man smbmount
[09:22] <tonyyarusso> dell500, Yeah, I just had to check that first.  Some things need it.
[09:23] <dell500> k...
[09:23] <tonyyarusso> dell500, Now we'll work on the assumption that there is not pre-configuration to do.
[09:23] <glacious> mwe: libGL error: XF86DRIQueryDirectRenderingCapable returned false
[09:23] <dell500> i just rather not have the azurues folder on my desktop, that's all
[09:23] <tonyyarusso> dell500, If you haven't already, install the build-essential package.
[09:23] <h-kan> I have a question that? dont sounds so important ;) Bu im sitting here trying to style my Gnome session and when I restart X there? the brown solid background before my background loads... anyone know how I can change that color?
[09:23] <mwe> glacious: hmm
[09:23] <dell500> well all i had to do was untar and then type ./azureus and it worked
[09:23] <dell500> what's the build-essential?
[09:23] <dell500> like what does it do
[09:23] <mwe> glacious: and of course lsmod confirms fglrx is loaded?
[09:24] <tonyyarusso> dell500, azureus must have been that then.
[09:24] <eugman> build-essential provies the tools for the make command among other tings
[09:24] <tonyyarusso> dell500, It has everything for compiling.
[09:24] <eugman> it allows you to compile programs
[09:24] <Samineru> noone know how to watch a movie in linux?
[09:24] <dell500> neat
[09:24] <tonyyarusso> dell500, When you say ./azureus 'worked', what exactly does that mean?
[09:24] <glacious> mwe:  lsmod | grep fglrx    gives me nothing.  so that could be the issue.
[09:24] <mwe> glacious: yeah
[09:24] <dell500> tonyyarusso, ran in terminal and it loaded azureus
[09:25] <mwe> glacious: does sudo modprobe fglrx work?
[09:25] <tatters> hmm is automatix link broke I keep getting 404 error?
[09:25] <tonyyarusso> dell500, As in it started right up?
[09:25] <glacious> mwe: should it be set to auto load at boot since i did the instll through synaptic?
[09:25] <tonyyarusso> !automatix
[09:25] <ubotu> well, automatix is messy, breaks all sorts of security guidelines, and is not open to improvement. In short: DO NOT USE IT!
[09:25] <dell500> tonyyarusso, yup
[09:25] <tonyyarusso> tatters, ^^
[09:25] <nuller> does this mean my gcc is messed up?make[1] : gcc-3.4: Command not found
[09:25] <tatters> :/
[09:25] <mwe> glacious: you have to do that manually
[09:25] <eugman> samineru?: let me ask you something
[09:25] <ploom> hello - damn I still can't choose: Celeron D 340J (2,9GHz, 256kB cache, FSB 533, s775) or Sempron 3100+ 64bit (512MB DDR PC3200/400)??

[09:25] <tatters> gosh so  Y do they allow it be advertised in forum?
[09:25] <misfit_toy> does anyone recommend running Ubuntu on a server? or is it not ready for prime time yet?
[09:25] <Samineru> its off a dvd
[09:26] <mwe> glacious: that's what modprobe gives you?
[09:26] <Samineru> i was getting the same error last night from LOTR
[09:26] <glacious> mwe yes
[09:26] <Samineru> then i fixed it with help but cant remember how
[09:26] <eugman> hmmm
[09:26] <mwe> glacious: dmesg?
[09:26] <glick> can anyone help me get avi playback?
[09:26] <glick> please
[09:26] <tonyyarusso> dell500, I'm not sure at this point, but if there's anything called Makefile in that directory, I'd get b-e, then do sudo make && make install, then you should be able to access it with a normal command.
[09:26] <dell500> !avi
[09:26] <ubotu> it has been said that avi is Video for Windows. For more info http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[09:26] <mwe> glacious: you did it with sudo, right
[09:26] <dafttitan> hi
[09:26] <dafttitan> the sortecut are not anymore added to my kde meny when i install a soft, somebody can help me ?
[09:26] <dell500> glick, see that link? :)
[09:26] <wdh_> misfit_toy, ubuntu is fine for a server
[09:27] <glacious> mwe yes
[09:27] <metal> does anyone use opera?
[09:27] <tonyyarusso> tatters, I don't believe anyone's censoring the forum.
[09:27] <glick> dell500, yeah i followed what it said
[09:27] <tatters> ubuntu forumms been down long time and automatix still not downloading
[09:27] <mwe> glacious: what's dmesg say?
[09:27] <misfit_toy> wdh_, you think so? hmmm, I just don't know anyone using on a production server yet
[09:27] <Samineru> metal i used to
[09:27] <glacious> mwe: there is a radeon module listed in lsmod.
[09:27] <ompaul> nuller, no, first off you get both 3.4 and 4.0 with 5.10 ubuntu, reasons are a long and boring - sudo apt-get install g++-3.4<<
[09:27] <dell500> tonyyarusso, no make file.... this is really odd
[09:27] <tonyyarusso> !tell tatters about easyubuntu
[09:27] <mwe> glacious: it's dapper?
[09:27] <dell500> last time i installed it i had to use the make and stuff...
[09:27] <dell500> wierd
[09:27] <tonyyarusso> tatters, Try that instead.
[09:27] <eugman> samineru whats the error?
[09:27] <tatters> well surely the way it looks to a noob like me is automatix is part of ubuntu
[09:28] <Samineru> it says i do not have trhe rights to play it
[09:28] <ompaul> nuller, sudo agt-get install build-essential first though and get all the nice goodies that come with 4.0
[09:28] <glacious> mwe: yes
[09:28] <mwe> glacious: yes. what radeon module? the agp one?
[09:28] <bwlang> i found a skype apt line .... but it depends on  libqt3c102-mt - which is not provided in ubuntu... any way i can force apt-get? (i know i can download it and force deps with dpkg)
[09:28] <nuller> I believe I did get build-essential already
[09:28] <glacious> mwe: no idea.
[09:28] <tonyyarusso> dell500, Not familiar with azureus, but that's the general way to install when you have a tarball.  Maybe in this case just copy the directory and symlink it into /usr/bin?
[09:28] <Samineru> last night when someone helped me they had me get libdvdcss2 and build-essential and i think it might have worked after that but now it doesnt
[09:28] <Samineru> and dma is on
[09:28] <mwe> glacious: what's the name?
[09:28] <RobinL> how to remove GNOME with all the apps? (switching to kubuntu)
[09:28] <bjv> If my modem picks up and dials numbers when i run pon, it cannot be a 'driver' issue, could it?
[09:28] <bwlang> or maybe there is a way to tell apt that libqt3-mt provides libqt3c102-mt
[09:28] <nuller> ompaul, must I reboot now?
[09:29] <glacious> mwe: dmesg:  [4298983.606000]  [fglrx:firegl_stub_register]  *ERROR* Unable to the open some already present DRM kernel module!
[09:29] <metal> Samineru, any idea? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/i7493
[09:29] <glacious> mwe: it just says radeon
[09:29] <ompaul> nuller, for what?
[09:29] <Samineru> wow it just started working
[09:29] <Samineru> but im getting the same problem io had earlier
[09:29] <dell500> tonyyarusso, can i just paste the folder in /usr/bin?
[09:29] <RobinL> how to remove GNOME with all the apps? (switching to kubuntu)
[09:29] <nuller> ompaul, for gcc to work
[09:29] <Samineru> its only in green and purple
[09:29] <eugman> Sorry samineru that's outta my league
[09:29] <ompaul> nuller, why would you? this is not a windows like operating system
[09:29] <tonyyarusso> RobinL, Well, to do it the other way around you can remove the qt library, maybe someone can tell you the library Gnome stuff is built on?
[09:30] <mwe> glacious: can you sudo modprobe -r radeon? or does it say it's in use?
[09:30] <nuller> ompaul, i've had to occasionally reboot for stuff
[09:30] <_jason> LNova: still around?
[09:30] <ompaul> nuller, you only need to do that if you replace your kernel
[09:30] <RobinL> tonyyarusso: ahh, gtk
[09:30] <sexualpotatoes> anyone have any luck getting 3d accel for a PCI-E x800xl ?
[09:30] <glacious> mwe: says nothing
[09:30] <tonyyarusso> dell500, No, that's not how that works.  /usr/bin just has the executables, not the rest of the program stuff.
[09:30] <mwe> glacious: good
[09:30] <glacious> mwe: so yeah it removed it
[09:30] <dell500> oh ok.... where would one put that folder though/
[09:30] <mwe> glacious: can you modprobe fglrx now?
[09:30] <glacious> mwe: same error
[09:31] <Samineru> does anyone know what would cause xine to only display amovie in green and purple?
[09:31] <fotis> hai
[09:31] <glacious> mwe: and same error in dmesg
[09:31] <mwe> glacious: try sudo modprobe -v fglrx to get more info
[09:31] <RobinL> how to remove GTK?
[09:31] <y_o_u> hey all, i am trying to get Synaptics installed on my Kubuntu 5.10 machine, with no luck. I have seen that I need to run "apt-get install synaptics" (error message: couldnt find package synaptics), or install it from Adept (not there). What other way is there? thanks
[09:31] <dafttitan> the shortcut are not anymore added to my kde menu when i install a soft, somebody can help me ?
[09:31] <nuller> ompaul, I am still getting modprobe ndiswrapper, ndiswrapper not found....

[09:32] <glacious> mwe: sure

[09:35] <Noah0504> So, I want to begin to digg a little deeper into Linux...I want to upgrade Rhythmbox to the latest version, and because it's not in the backports, I'm going to have to do it myself.  Can anyone help?
[09:36] <ompaul> nuller, thanks I was wondering about ppc or x86 so it is x86 :)
[09:36] <mwe> glacious: hmm. I can't see anything that should prevent it from loading. I'm not really sure how to interpret the error from dmesg
[09:36] <meisam> tomukas2 i couldn`t install them
[09:36] <mwe> glacious: brb
[09:36] <ompaul> Noah0504, why do you need the latest version?
[09:36] <glacious> mwe: ok
[09:36] <tomukas2> meisam: i have one in that laptop... but its not working continuely
[09:36] <meisam> tomukas2 waste of time
[09:36] <eugman> meisamdo you have the universe and multiverse repositories enabled?

[09:37] <meisam> hi guys, this is the error i`ve recieved what should i do ? There were no decoders found to handle the stream, you might need to install the corresponding plugins
[09:37] <meisam> , i was trying to run mpg file
[09:37] <meisam> tomukas2 yes itold u
[09:37] <Martoludia> can anyone help me ... my ubuntu is hanging up on "Starting Hotplug subsystem" i have GF6600 is this the problem????
[09:37] <meisam> mine is laptop
[09:37] <tomukas2> meisam: but i will get a laptop next week... what about usb-sticks
[09:37] <Noah0504> ompaul:  It has many new features: better iPod support, Last.fm support, podcast support, and it allows for iTunes music sharing.
[09:37] <meisam> i couldn`t run it
[09:37] <mcdenyer> !ntfs
[09:37] <ubotu> from memory, ntfs is the filesystem used in Windows 2000 and newer; to automatically mount your NTFS partition: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions, or writing to ntfs is risky and only experimental. Reading is OK
[09:37] <nuller> ompaul, perhaps you could tell me how to find the device-id for my card then?
[09:37] <eugman> meisam, do you have the multiverse and universe repositories enabled?
[09:37] <meisam> tomukas2 i mean up to now i couldn`t do anything about it
[09:37] <owner> !captive
[09:37] <ubotu> it has been said that captive is a project to use windows NTFS drivers under linux. It does not work properly with Ubuntu.
[09:38] <meisam> eugman im not familiar with multi and uni
[09:38] <ompaul> nuller, lspci  put the output in http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[09:38] <mcdenyer> _jason hey how do i acess a ntfs thats already mounted but i dont have permission to acess it?
[09:38] <meisam> eugman waht are those
[09:38] <owner> umount and mount it
[09:38] <yaas> Hello, can any1 help me?? im getting this error on the installation "The debootstrap program exited with an error" some1 please?
[09:38] <y_o_u> shindo: i am a bit confused, i think we might be talking about two different things. i am talking about Synaptic, the package installer/finder (i know little, so not sure if this is correct), are you talking about synaptic touchpad, like on a laptop? like i said, i know very little, so sorry if i am wrong
[09:38] <eugman> ok you are familiar wit the repositories right?
[09:38] <glacious> whenever i boot back into windows, my clock is 5 hours off.  my bios shows the right time, so does Ubuntu.
[09:38] <Amaranth> RobinL: Get it figured out?
[09:39] <meisam> eugman no sorry...
[09:39] <nuller> ompaul, the whole thing?
[09:39] <_jason> mcdenyer: sudo?  (best option is to remount with the appropriate options)
[09:39] <eugman> ok follow my instructions meisam
[09:39] <Amaranth> glacious: Ubuntu uses GMT and corrects for your timezone, Windows uses your timezone
[09:39] <ompaul> Noah0504, you are going to go through a whole pile of pain doing that, I wish you luck, first stop >>sudo apt-get install build-essentials<< after that read the install instructions well :-)
[09:39] <meisam> eugman ok
[09:39] <Martoludia> can anyone please help me
[09:39] <meisam> eugman thanks
[09:39] <Martoludia> may be on private
[09:39] <_jason> Martoludia: We can try to help you if you ask a question
[09:39] <glacious> Amaranth: so why would it change my windows time ever since i installed Ubuntu?
[09:39] <eugman> go System->Administration->synaptic
[09:39] <mcdenyer> how do  i run the fglrx gears thing?
[09:39] <Martoludia> _jason i asked but it's overcrowded \.... lines disappear
[09:39] <Amaranth> glacious: It's changing the BIOS time to match what it uses.
[09:40] <Martoludia> my ubuntu hangs up on hotplug subsystem trying to boot....
[09:40] <Amaranth> Which then breaks things in Windows.
[09:40] <Martoludia> it's just after install
[09:40] <glacious> Amaranth: and windows changes it back?
[09:40] <Martoludia> i never got to load it
[09:40] <Noah0504> ompaul: haha, I'll make sure I have a bottle of Advil next to me during the process.
[09:40] <tonyyarusso> glacious, Because Windows is too dumb to understand that the clock is set right, to GMT, and gets confused.
[09:40] <Amaranth> glacious: If you have Windows change it back, sure.
[09:40] <eugman> are you able to do that meisam?
[09:40] <_jason> Martoludia: keep you question on one line, it will increase your chances of getting helped
[09:40] <ompaul> nuller, well discount whatever you do know - but that should tell you what card you have in there - and you should be able to find it- if it is inbuild I would check the model number on the interweb for card type
[09:40] <mcdenyer> _jason hgow do i run the fglrx gears thing?
[09:40] <psycose> i've just install  the deb package realplayer <IP_ADDRESS>6-1plf1 on ubuntu breezy up to date. my system sound works well using alsa (for gnome, totem, xine and others..) from realplayer i got the video stream well but no sound any tips ?
[09:40] <meisam> eugman hold on plz
[09:40] <Razor-X> there won't be any problems with X, will there?
[09:40] <ompaul> Noah0504, na, something for calming the stomach
[09:40] <_jason> mcdenyer: glxgears
[09:41] <Martoludia> ok , i installed Ubuntu .... but while booting it hangs up on Starting Hotplug Subsystem... somebody help?
[09:41] <meisam> eugman im using kubuntu desktop.. i cant find my adminstratinn
[09:41] <LNova> _jason?
[09:41] <shindo> y_o_u: Oops
[09:41] <mcdenyer> _jason theres a different one that gives fps and the gears are on a spinning cube
[09:41] <eugman> ok sorry  assumed you had gnome
[09:41] <_jason> LNova: yep
[09:41] <LNova> Hey
[09:41] <ompaul> Martoludia, it did not install correctly if it stalling on hot plug, I have a suggestion for you
[09:42] <shindo> I thought the package manager was installed by default on ubuntu
[09:42] <LNova> I found out my partition
[09:42] <glacious> so how do i get Ubuntu to stop messing with my Bios clock, and just realise it's EST.
[09:42] <_jason> mcdenyer: I don't know, never saw that one
[09:42] <_jason> LNova: good, did you mount it?
[09:42] <Amaranth> Shindo: apt is install by default, yes
[09:42] <LNova> :S
[09:42] <meisam> eugman all right do u want me go to gnome?
[09:42] <LNova> I couldn't remember what you said to do
[09:42] <eugman> no thats alright
[09:42] <Amaranth> Shindo: And if you try to remove it it makes you type 'Yes, I know what I'm doing' before it does it. :)
[09:42] <mcdenyer> _jason hmm i just need to know if my video card is working ok with these drivers i installed
[09:42] <shindo> Have you looked in System>Admin on the gui?
[09:42] <meisam> eugman ok
[09:42] <eugman> ope up the terminal
[09:42] <Razor-X> how does the iPod Nano work out with the Linux kernel?
[09:42] <Drac[Server] > This isn't ubuntu that I'm running, but maybe you can help. This Linux distro thinks my floppy can't hold 1.44 MB added to the contents (currently nothing). fstab has " noauto,users,suid,dev,exec" for the options. Any ideas?
[09:42] <tonyyarusso> glacious, Tell Ubuntu to use GMT as the timezone.
[09:42] <clemslacker> poll, what is the best multimedia player
[09:43] <eugman> join channel #flood and gimme a sec
[09:43] <meisam> eugman ok
[09:43] <LNova> _jason: you said to boot up in live rught?
[09:43] <robertj> clemslacker: depends
[09:43] <tonyyarusso> glacious, It won't really care, and then will show up the same.
[09:43] <meisam> eugman r  u talkinh to me?
[09:43] <nuller> dang forums are down
[09:43] <glacious> tonyyarusso: ahh ok, make sense.  ty.
[09:43] <clemslacker> robertj: video multimedia
[09:43] <ompaul> Martoludia, as the machine starts to install it pauses - type the word server, get the box up and running that way - then come back and we can install the desktop without having it start on boot up and so we get a chance to control the situation more
[09:43] <y_o_u> shindo: yeah, Adept is installed, but i cant seem to get the same stuff that you can get trough Synaptics, although I would also say I don't exactly know what i am doing
[09:43] <robertj> clemslacker: well basically you are out of luck
[09:44] <eugman> can you point me to something I may have said in a condescending tone?
[09:44] <Mr> Whats the command to set permissions for a folder
[09:44] <robertj> try back with dapper
[09:44] <ompaul> Drac[Server] , what distro is it?
[09:44] <eugman> oh wait nvm mind
[09:44] <mcdenyer> _jason hmmm  i did the first command in the ntfs manually mount and didnt get any lists i did for i in `ls /dev/hd* | grep -e "hd\w$"`; do sudo fdisk -l $i; done
[09:44] <eugman> yes I'm talking to you meisam
[09:44] <clemslacker> robertj: what do you mean out of luck?
[09:44] <eugman> thought I saw a down in that question
[09:44] <robertj> clemslacker: nothing plays everything and the stuff that gets close is legally questionable and not supported
[09:44] <meisam> eugman all right wht should i do?
[09:44] <Drac[Server] > ompaul: You had better not think of redirecting me to the GoblinX channel. It's just a GoblinX live CD. Slackware based. They can't help me any more than you can.
[09:44] <meisam> mpg
[09:44] <glacious> tonyyarusso: there is no GMT within gnome, do i have to use console?
[09:44] <Mr> what is the command to edit file permissions inthe command line
[09:45] <_jason> LNova: yes using the live and assuming your partition is hda2 the first step is: sudo mkdir /mnt/ubuntuhd && sudo mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/ubuntuhd .  Then you 'sudo gedit /mnt/ubuntuhd/etc/hosts' and make the first line look like http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7491 (where your hostname is in /mnt/ubuntuhd/etc/hostname).  Copy this and save it somewhere :)
[09:45] <clemslacker> robertj: what is the stuff that gets close?
[09:45] <fr500> robertj, totem-xine plays virtually anything for me
[09:45] <eugman> ok meisam join cannel flood
[09:45] <robertj> xine does a pretty good job
[09:45] <the_mr_bong_show> could some one help me with flashing my bios or updating my bios
[09:45] <eugman> I'm gonna give you the text I use in my repositories list
[09:45] <eugman> but I ned to look up a command first
[09:45] <tomveens> #utwente
[09:45] <robertj> eugman: dtest out the pastebin script
[09:45] <meisam> eugman im trying
[09:45] <tonyyarusso> glacious, Europe/London will do it for you.
[09:45] <qsrv> hi
[09:46] <glacious> Whenever Ubuntu boots, it FAILS on "Restoring Resolver State..."
[09:46] <_jason> mcdenyer: umm why don't you just do sudo fdisk -l, what are you trying to do?
[09:46] <Martoludia> WHat is the exact way of .... setting HotPlug Subsystem not to be started on boot in Ubuntu with GRUB ?
[09:46] <mcdenyer> _jason i guess that command is suposed to be "scary" and when i did it there were no results i didnt hurt anything did i
[09:46] <qsrv> could anyone help me configure wireless and wired roaming with wpa (for wireless)?
[09:46] <mcdenyer> _jason acess an ntfs
