[02:57] <Shado1> hey everyone, I have my computer connected to a router(wireless) and thats working great, what I want to do now is hook up an ethernet cable to the router and share that internet connection onto a new router? Does anyone have any information on this?
[02:57] <Johnny> thanks Gnea
[02:57] <Johnny> gnuB_Chris*
[02:57] <randal> arvind_khadri: almost installed
[02:57] <Johnny> but i still cant get these icons working
[02:57] <arvind_khadri> spork969, you might have done it on the home folder :) just say ls
[02:57] <Johnny> i unpackaged them to .icons and they still dont show up in preferences
[02:57] <PhoenixUK> Shado1 you want to connect router to another router ? thats it ?
[02:57] <VanessaE> question:  is there a reason why a certain program running under Wine would be slower under ubuntu than it is under Gentoo?  (Think an order of magnitude)
[02:58] <arvind_khadri> randal, after installing just open envy and install the drivers ....
[02:58] <VanessaE> is 2d accel turned off and I just haven't noticed it elsewhere?
[02:58] <Shado1> well my wireless is connected to one router, now if i connect a seperate router to my computer I want to be able to share the internet connection
[02:58] <arvind_khadri> spork969, i hope you found the folder ??
[02:58] <spork969> arvind_khadri: i think so
[02:59] <gaelfx> ikonia: hey, not sure if you remember my problem from yesterday, but thought you would like to know that the second reboot did the trick
[02:59] <arvind_khadri> spork969, actually i gtg... got exams today :D
[02:59] <spork969> arvind_khadri: thanks for the help. bye
[02:59] <spork969> arvind_khadri: and good luck
[02:59] <arvind_khadri> spork969, welcome .. thanks a lot :)
[02:59] <VanessaE> Gentoo finally p*ssed me off, so I came back to Ubuntu :-)
[02:59] <gnuB_Chris> johnny: do you have a theme manager installed?
[02:59] <PhoenixUK> Shado1 i dont quite get it, so your PC is connected wirelessly to a router or by cable ? and what do you want to do really
[03:00] <Johnny> yes
[03:00] <resproblem> i'm on xubuntu 8 right now and my resolution is stuck at 800x600; whenever i do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, i never see any settings for the display like tutorials online say
[03:00] <Johnny> i think it might be because they arent seperated into directories
[03:00] <gaelfx> can anyone help me figure out why sometimes my internet is unbearably slow and sometimes it's much faster?
[03:00] <gnuB_Chris> johnnyL which one?
[03:00] <Johnny> its just one icons file and then all the icons
[03:00] <Johnny> would that be it?
[03:00] <kcman> can anyone help me with updating my graphics drivers on my sony it is ati rage mobility -M1
[03:00] <gaelfx> I think I'm having a problem with PPPoE
[03:01] <gnuB_Chris> johnny:  no.  you would have a package loaded like emerald theme manager
[03:01] <Johnny> yes
[03:01] <purplestar> Johnny: love ya
[03:01] <Johnny> but i've been using gnomes theme manager
[03:01] <vtasmania> hello need help on detecting and installing sound card
[03:01] <Johnny> who are you purplestar
[03:01] <Shado1> yes my pc is connected wirelesses to a router which has a modem hooked to it as input, so my computer gets internet wirelessly, but that router is downstairs and my PS3 wireless is pretty lame, so I bought a second router which i want to hook upto my computer, share the internet connection and connect my PS3 to the second router
[03:01] <gnuB_Chris> ok.  open theme manager and you should have an option to import the gz file.
[03:02] <gaelfx> can anyone help me address an issue with a PPPoE connection?
[03:02] <gnuB_Chris> then you would activate it, I think.  it's been a while since I used a gdm
[03:03] <Shado1> I have it all connected but when I try gain internet access when connected to the second router (the one hooked upto my computer) theres no internet connection.
[03:03] <spork969> how do i make a launcher do more than one command?
[03:03] <Johnny> isnt ping the correct file type gnuB_Chris ? when i try to set it by right clicking they dont show up
[03:04] <Shado1> I had it all setup on windows but now migrating to ubuntu i'm having a few troubles setting it up
[03:04] <PhoenixUK> Shado1 can you tell me your settings on each of them ?
[03:04] <Shado1> sure, what settings do you need?
[03:04] <brrrrrradical> could somebody please help me with getting my printer working?
[03:04] <Johnny> emerald theme manager wont let me import .tar.gz gnuB_Chris
[03:04] <PhoenixUK> Shado1 gateway / ip / subnet mask, on both, and from PCs as well
[03:04] <glitsj16> spork969: add a ";" between commands
[03:05] <Shado1> PhoenixUK shall we go into PM?
[03:05] <purplestar> Johnny: its me, i love ya :)
[03:05] <purplestar> on Windows, I visit websie that allows talking with others using webcam.  In windows I use Manycam.com. how can I play mpg video on hardy webcam?
[03:05] <PhoenixUK> Shado1 ye sure, no point messing here
[03:05] <Sorlag> @all i cant run *.bin files. it says "There is no application installed for this file type" What am i supposed to do now ?!
[03:05] <Johnny> who's me purplestar
[03:06] <spork969> glitsj16: so "cd ~/jUploadr-1.1.2-linux-i386; ./jUploadr" should work?
[03:06] <punkoleo> yo
[03:06] <spork969> glitsj16: or can i simplify that?
[03:06] <VanessaE> no one can help me? :(
[03:06] <punkoleo> c'est quoi sa freenet?
[03:06] <purplestar> Johnny: :)
[03:06] <gnuB_Chris> johnny:  again, I haven't used gdm in awhile.  I would think you need to import the whole theme package
[03:06] <brrrrrradical> can somebody please help me set up my printer... it seems to connect but doesnt respond or print nething
[03:06] <glitsj16> spork969: you could put those commands into a shell script and point the launcher to that
[03:07] <gnuB_Chris> brrr: what veersion are you using
[03:07] <spork969> glitsj16: how?
[03:07] <amenado> brrrrrradical-> what brand and model is that printer?
[03:07] <brrrrrradical> hardy
[03:07] <Johnny> all i have is the icon package
[03:07] <brrrrrradical> epson stylus c45
[03:07] <patrick_> gregbrady: ok.. that may take a while
[03:07] <Johnny> how do you customize the show desktop icon?
[03:07] <Johnny> where is it at in gconf
[03:07] <purplestar> im bored on Ubuntu. whats there to do?  on Vista I used to play online games.  what can I do to entertain myself on Ubuntu?
[03:08] <amenado> brrrrrradical-> have you look at the hardware compatibility list if that model is listed?
[03:08] <gnuB_Chris> brrr: check the forums for apparmor settings.  I think CUPS is the only app protected by default.  you may need to disable apparmor first
[03:08] <glitsj16> spork969: try that combination first before getting into shell scripts, we'll see about later if you heva trouble starting Jloadr deal ?
[03:08] <amenado> !hardware
[03:08] <WalloO> purplestar, I was just playing CounterStrike on ubuntu. Quite intertaining... :)_
[03:09] <spork969> glitsj16: deal
[03:09] <patrick_> gregbrady: hello..
[03:09] <Sorlag> Doubleclicking .bin files doesnt work?! PLzHlp?!
[03:09] <gnuB_Chris> johnny:  you downloaded a gz file, right
[03:09] <jasonago> hello, can anyone recommend a player like amarok for gnome?
[03:09] <purplestar> WalloO: is CounterStrike free?
[03:09] <Johnny> yes gnuB_Chris
[03:09] <brrrrrradical> amenado: yes it is .. when i reboot it even says "Epson_Stylus_c45 is configured" (or something like that ... but it never responds and when i try to print something it says it isnt connected
[03:09] <gnuB_Chris> gnome theme manager won't import that file?
[03:10] <glitsj16> spork969: okay, does it start ?
[03:10] <amenado> brrrrrradical-> using CUPS ?
[03:10] <spork969> glitsj16: "Failed to execute child" process "cd" (no such file or directory)"
[03:10] <DarkAudit> I think apt just went and installed a binary package right after I did an apt-build install of the same package... any way to confirm that?
[03:10] <WalloO> purplestar, It was "counterstrike source" infactr. But it's not free.... However you can play other games like sauerbraten or other quake or doom clones
[03:10] <ui78> I have Ubuntu running inside CEntOS vmware, what should I use to connect to internet ? NAT or bridged ?
[03:10] <brrrrrradical> amenado: yeo
[03:10] <brrrrrradical> yes
[03:10] <kancerman> *so darn glad to be out of the 1024x768 vid resolution lol*
[03:11] <Blaqlight> lol everytime I log off, my appearence setting i.e. window shadows and stuff aren't remembered specifically compiz options. what can I do to make sure I get the same eyecandy each time I start x
[03:11] <glitsj16> spork969: just to check if i'm with you .. you're trying to run JUploadr from a menu ?
[03:11] <amenado> brrrrrradical-> there is a printer test page within that localhost:631 page..try that
[03:11] <purplestar> how do I check for virus, trojans spyware?
[03:11] <Corkster> Blaqlight sessions management > save session
[03:11] <Shaba1> I want to know that too.
[03:11] <spork969> a launcher that i made on the desktop
[03:11] <amenado> brrrrrradical-> what protocol you set it to talk to your printer?
[03:11] <brrrrrradical> amenado: yer i did ... did not respond.
[03:11] <spork969> glitsj16: a launcher that i made on the desktop
[03:12] <brrrrrradical> amenado: how can i check?
[03:12] <brrrrrradical> amenado: what do u mean?
[03:12] <Blaqlight> Corkster, Ive tried that, it doesn't actually remember it, done both automatically, and manually by pressing the button
[03:12] <Sorlag> please you guys
[03:12] <amenado> brrrrrradical-> i dont think you have set up your cups correctly then..look around that page
[03:12] <glitsj16> spork969: i see, you'll need to re-check your paths in the launcher commands
[03:13] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: installation done, nothing changed =/  Someone says it might be that I have multiple mysql.txt files. Do you know how I can search to see if that's true?
[03:13] <Johnny> does anyone know where the gconf setting for show desktop icon is?
[03:13] <kancerman> alternately I found once I installed fusion-icon I could get Compiz to launch after right-clicking the mouse on Fusion-Icon in the main main and checking Launch at log-in option ...
[03:13] <spork969> glitsj16: the paths are golden.
[03:13] <braden_> yeah its in apps>nautilus
[03:13] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage:  run sudo updatedb and then when that completes type locate mysql.txt
[03:13] <glitsj16> spork969: then why does the cd command fail ?
[03:13] <randal> fajaloup
[03:14] <spork969> glitsj16: if i knew, i wouldn't be asking.
[03:14] <brrrrrradical> amenado: this is what it says in cups: http://paste.ubuntu.com/27391/
[03:14] <gnuB_Chris> johnny:  I think I found the forum you are looking for.  See if this helps:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=203093
[03:14] <Johnny> thanks
[03:15] <glitsj16> spork969: hang on, scrolling to your original command part here
[03:15] <VanessaE> question:  is there a reason why a particular program running under Wine would be an order of magnitude slower under ubuntu than it is under Gentoo?
[03:15] <Blaqlight> it just doesn't seem to want to remember the settings.
[03:15] <patrick_> VanessaE: well there is already the obvious reasons at hand
[03:16] <Corkster> Blaqlight in emerald theme manager have you tried saving settings as a custom theme
[03:16] <amenado> brrrrrradical-> i dont even see that usb://  protocol on the list, where did you get that?
[03:16] <gaelfx_> can anyone help me fix my PPPoE problem?
[03:16] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: apparently the file is in 5 places D:
[03:16] <VanessaE> patrick_, well, source versus binary distro issues aside...everything else seems to actually be measurably *faster* in ubuntu
[03:16] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: wth
[03:17] <brrrrrradical> amenado: i havent edited that... thats what ubuntu automatically did... guess its not right?
[03:17] <patrick_> VanessaE: except for wine :)
[03:17] <glitsj16> spork969: if your launcher is in ~/Desktop, try changing the command to "cd ../jUploadr-1.1.2-linux-i386; ./jUploadr"
[03:17] <VanessaE> heh, yeah
[03:17] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage:  well what u could do is change the password for the mythtv user and then update it in all those txt files just to be sure
[03:17] <amenado> brrrrrradical-> its not right, i dont see that type of printer protocol.
[03:17] <bbarton> ok so can anyone give me a hand with gporftp
[03:17] <amenado> brrrrrradical-> google for cups tutorial please
[03:17] <Blaqlight> Corkster, Im not using that, I just want to use the built in appearence stuff in Gnome. not compiz-fusion-icon or ccsm
[03:17] <brrrrrradical> ok
[03:18] <patrick_> VanessaE: well I really do not know what to tell you as it often does vary between distro
[03:18] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: er, what would that do?
[03:18] <pibe86> hello every body, i got dessapear maximixed, mixized and close buttons (bar). what can i do?
[03:18] <spork969> glitsj16: nope
[03:18] <Blaqlight> Im thinking that perhaps something related to the two others, as both were installed at one time.
[03:19] <banisterfiend> hey guys, sometimes when i run my ruby/gosu game that plays .ogg music...it says 'error something run-time device, something slave, can't play music' or something along those lines. almost like it can't play music in two places at once...i.e from a program on my desktop AND in the game. if i close the program on my desktop (usually something like firefox) the music usually runs fine in my game. what's going on ?
[03:19] <banisterfiend>  sorry the exact error is 'error initializing output device'
[03:19] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: sorry what i meant, and I confused the issue myself is make sure that the files are all consistent, and that the user and pass that myth is using is the same
[03:19] <VanessaE> well a small variance I can understand, but I'm talking about this being 10-15 times slower even on a fast video card (GF6800)
[03:19] <Blaqlight> banisterfiend, your using OSS try switching to ALSA instead
[03:19] <punkoleo> part #idle
[03:19] <glitsj16> spork969: isn't JUploadr a java app ? how do you actually start it ? (should be in the readme , i have only seen it once, don't use it myself)
[03:19] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: I'll check em out
[03:20] <VanessaE> I must have missed a step somewhere.
[03:20] <Algeris> VanessaE, a 6800 is not THAT fast
[03:20] <patrick_> VanessaE: tried the ubuntu forums or winehq to see what possible causes there are
[03:20] <zeeeee> hi, how do i get dual monitors working? currently gnome shows up identically on both screens.
[03:20] <patrick_> Algeris: that is nothing to do with what she is talking about
[03:20] <VanessaE> Algeris, true, but it's fast enough to run everything I've ever thrown at it, and in this case I'm only talking about a particular solitaire game.
[03:20] <spork969> glitsj16: the readme tells you to use ./jUploadr. that command works, but only when you are in the right directory. so i tried to use the cd command to get to the directory, and the rest is history.
[03:20] <Blaqlight> banisterfiend, use ALSA as your default sound rendering device.
[03:20] <zeeeee> totally unrelated question: is there a way to list all the most popular ppa's?
[03:21] <VanessaE> patrick_, yeah, I've been looking around but so far no good :-/
[03:21] <Algeris> VanessaE, explain to me your problem again since I just got here, might be able to help you
[03:21] <VanessaE> sure;
[03:21] <ReAn[Laptop]> hrm
[03:22] <glitsj16> spork969: okay thx, i still think you will need to adjust your cd command, relative to where your launcher is (~/Desktop i assume correct ?)
[03:22] <bbarton> Can anyone help me with my ftp server??????
[03:22] <VanessaE> I'm trying to get an old card game - double solitaire - working properly.  In Gentoo under Wine on this box, it was fast.  I switched to ubuntu, re-installed the game under ubuntu's wine, and the result is 10-15x slower than before.  Cards are being drawn slowly, jittery, flickery.
[03:22] <spork969> glitsj16: yes my launcher is on the desktop. so the command should be what?
[03:23] <Algeris> VanessaE, what card do you have?
[03:23] <VanessaE> the CPU usage gets divided evenly between Xorg and the game (100% while it is redrawing).
[03:23] <VanessaE> nVidia GF6800.
[03:23] <glitsj16> spork969: try cd /home/<username>/jUploadr-1.1.2-linux-i386/jUploadr
[03:23] <xocite> VanessaE: perhaps because you compiled it w/ optimizations on Gentoo whereas Ubuntu just applies the default, iirc -02
[03:23] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: all the files appear to be identical. Should I try deleting the all but the one in etc? I could have sworn I read a thread stating that would help. Not positive. Still trying to find it...
[03:23] <VanessaE> Also affects my husband's box (identical, except with an nv4000 MX)
[03:24] <DarkAudit> I just did dpkg-reconfigure apt-build, and it did not add the line to my sources.list, even when it asked if I wanted to add it
[03:24] <Algeris> VanessaE, have you tried updateing the drivers? :)
[03:24] <VanessaE> xocite, I always used -O2 in Gentoo as well.
[03:24] <patrick_> xocite: that is what I was thinking
[03:24] <spork969> glitsj16: that directory does not exist.
[03:24] <DonaldShimoda> hi
[03:24] <VanessaE> Algeris, I have.
[03:24] <patrick_> VanessaE: yeah but there may be very different defaults
[03:24] <DonaldShimoda> somebody exerience conpiz deads?
[03:24] <VanessaE> Everything else seems to be behaving normally
[03:24] <xocite> VanessaE: have you tried compiling it?
[03:24] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshooting:Mythbackend_will_not_start_after_upgrade
[03:24] <glitsj16> spork969: correction, drop the cd part, you don't actually need it, so "/home/<fill-in-your-user-name>/jUploadr-1.1.2-linux-i386/jUploadr"
[03:24] <Lokz> Hello, I'm new to ubuntu, I recently installed the server 2008 and I'm trying to connect to internet. Here's what I've tried so far : http://paste.ubuntu.com/27393/ . Did I miss something?
[03:24] <VanessaE> xocite, not yet.
[03:24] <DonaldShimoda> compiz i mind
[03:24] <Algeris> VanessaE, xocite has a good point
[03:24] <DarkAudit> it should have put deb file:/var/cache/apt-build/repository apt-build main in, but it didn't
[03:25] <DonaldShimoda> compiz dead almost one time at day
[03:25] <DonaldShimoda> i dont get why
[03:25] <Corkster> cause compiz is buggy thats why
[03:25] <patrick_> DonaldShimoda: demons
[03:25] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: that thread seems to be describing my problem EXACTLY. Should I delete em all?
[03:25] <ReAn[Laptop]> hrm
[03:25] <spork969> glitsj16: there it is. thanks.
[03:25] <DonaldShimoda> patrick_: uh?
[03:25] <VanessaE> ok, compile it as one possible solution.  I can do that I think.  If that should turn out not to work, what would I do next?
[03:25] <patrick_> DonaldShimoda: demons are messing with your compiz
[03:25] <ReAn[Laptop]> the unbuntu setup is ungodly slow for me, it's taking like 5+ minutes to select my keyboard layout
[03:25] <glitsj16> spork969: you're welcome
[03:26] <VanessaE> Direct rendering is turned on, both boxes using the proprietary driver
[03:26] <patrick_> DonaldShimoda: compiz is not very stable to begin with mate
[03:26] <DonaldShimoda> patrick_: you mind lunix daemons or is a joke?
[03:26] <Shpook> Anyone have freezing issues with Intel965 graphics and OpenGL?
[03:26] <ifchaos> hello..

[03:27] <DonaldShimoda> patrick_: the problem is when that happens in use ctrl+back+space
[03:27] <ifchaos> how to connect dial up with modem...??
[03:27] <DonaldShimoda> but never again can start my x sesion
[03:27] <DonaldShimoda> only GDM
[03:27] <DonaldShimoda> but never again, i need to restart
[03:27] <patrick_> DonaldShimoda: yeah then you login from gdm
[03:27] <patrick_> that is normal
[03:28] <DonaldShimoda> patrick_: even if i login from gdm dont start
[03:28] <DonaldShimoda> patrick_: theres any workaround without restart?
[03:28] <patrick_> no that is not
[03:28] <ReAn[Laptop]> /dev/sd* are SCSI Disks right?
[03:28] <dr_Willis> ReAn[Laptop],  not always.
[03:28] <ReAn[Laptop]> er, k
[03:28] <patrick_> DonaldShimoda: which gfx card are you using
[03:28] <Logrusmage> Err... can anyone tell me the delete command real quick?

[03:29] <ReAn[Laptop]> if i have IDE drives
[03:29] <WalloO> Logrusmage, rm
[03:29] <ReAn[Laptop]> it should show up as /dev/hd*
[03:29] <ReAn[Laptop]> right?
[03:29] <Pici> ReAn[Laptop]: Due to the way things are handled internally, most disks show up as sda now, don't ask me for specifics
[03:29] <DonaldShimoda> patrick_: you read me?
[03:29] <ReAn[Laptop]> kk
[03:30] <DonaldShimoda> patrick_: theres any workaround to avoid rebooting?
[03:30] <patrick_> DonaldShimoda: yeah.. just having a look around
[03:30] <VanessaE> Algeris, GLX seems to be enabled
[03:30] <DonaldShimoda> patrick_: sorry. :P thanks a lot
[03:30] <VanessaE> xocite, versions are similar (the performance never changed much from one to the next in Gentoo).
[03:30] <ifchaos> please help me for connect dial-up..
[03:30] <VanessaE> direct rendering: Yes

[03:33] <DonaldShimoda> patrick_:  you have also that troubles?
[03:33] <xocite> nownot: gnome isn't a shell
[03:33] <nownot> xocite: oh im just running ubuntu terminal
[03:33] <bigbadjesus__> !dialup | bigbadjesus__
[03:34] <bbarton> can someone please help me out?????
[03:34] <xocite> nownot: so you want the 22nd command to NOT be displayed because it has your password?
[03:34] <ReAn[Laptop]> danmit
[03:34] <ReAn[Laptop]> what partitions do i need for ubuntu?
[03:34] <ReAn[Laptop]> 3 right? boot/main/swap
[03:34] <VanessaE> just two if you want (/ and swap)
[03:34] <dr_Willis> ReAn[Laptop],  you dont really need a boot. / and swap.
[03:35] <nownot> xocite: no in my passworld *****!22** <-- my password. but i dont want to do the 22nd command b/c that messes up the input
[03:35] <xocite> ReAn[Laptop]: I would, /boot / /home /swap
[03:35] <patrick_> DonaldShimoda: no not really generally has always worked well... but I would not always use compiz
[03:35] <VanessaE> and you can even get by without a separate swap partition if you want
[03:35] <dr_Willis> ReAn[Laptop],  i normally leave a sectionof the hd unallocated. and let the installer partition as needed
[03:35] <VanessaE> (I use a file in /var for swap)
[03:35] <ReAn[Laptop]> dr_Willis: id use guided... but none of the options are what i want
[03:35] <CostaRicanQuaker> !es
[03:35] <nownot> xocite: i just want it to take my command with the !22 in it without running the 22nd command, like look over the fact it has !22
[03:35] <xocite>  My swap usually remains unused.
[03:35] <LetsGo67> test
[03:36] <xocite> nownot: I'm still a bit lost, sorry.
[03:36] <ReAn[Laptop]> how much space should my swap be on a 1gb ram AMD64 4000+ ?
[03:36] <dr_Willis> ReAn[Laptop],  no idea what ya want. :) I often just use 3 primary partitions / /home and swap.
[03:36] <ReAn[Laptop]> 1gb?
[03:36] <VanessaE> I have a gig of RAM... I'd run without any swap if the OOM killer were a bit more reliable/
[03:36] <dr_Willis> ReAn[Laptop],  if you want to suspend/hibernate - at least 1 gb.
[03:36] <VanessaE> (the kernel does *not* like it when you run out of physical RAM)
[03:36] <joe_electrician> ReAn[Laptop], if you have a lot of media files, given it its on partition, xfs or reiser is okay
[03:36] <ReAn[Laptop]> it's a desktop
[03:36] <ReAn[Laptop]> not laptop
[03:36] <ReAn[Laptop]> dont want to suspend/etc...
[03:36] <ReAn[Laptop]> but
[03:36] <xocite> VanessaE: OOM?
[03:36] <nownot> xocite: i have a command ./fooo -p *****!22** <- the **** is my password but it contains !22 which i do not want it to run teh 22nd commmand but it is
[03:36] <VanessaE> Out-of-Memory
[03:37] <ReAn[Laptop]> i will be playing movies / music / etc..
[03:37] <ReAn[Laptop]> so 1-2 gb is good?
[03:37] <patrick_> !enter ReAn[Laptop]
[03:37] <__yy> nownot: have you tried putting the password in single quotes, or escaping the ! like \! ??
[03:37] <patrick_> !enter | ReAn[Laptop]
[03:37] <nownot> __yy: no let me try
[03:37] <banisterfiend> what is OSS and what is ALSA and how do i switch, and why is OSS gay like that
[03:38] <joe_electrician> 1-2 gb of memory is fine
[03:38] <VanessaE> OSS as a sound driver subsystem is very old and generally considered obsolete.  ALSA is what replaced it.
[03:38] <xocite> nownot: put it in quotes?
[03:39] <LetsGo67> Comment partager des chansons avec Vista (à partir d'Xfce)?
[03:39] <joe_electrician> ALSA is able to play through HDMI, not sure any other sound system can
[03:39] <xocite> !fr | LetsGo67
[03:39] <blackghost> atftpd HELP ?\
[03:39] <CyberCod> Can someone tell me how to start up irssi in a different TTY screen at boot time?
[03:40] <blackghost> CAN SOMEONE  help me with atftpd
[03:40] <nownot> xocite __yy : seems to have worked, thanks
[03:40] <VanessaE> xocite, Algeris:  The only other change that has taken place is that I don't run this particular game on a separate X display anymore.
[03:40] <ReAn[Laptop]> both / and swap need to be Logical Partitions right? and what filesystem is simple and easy to use? reiserfs or ext3?
[03:41] <randal> how do i find what type of video card i have
[03:41] <randal> vhow do i find what type of video card i have
[03:41] <xocite> CyberCod: that's not possible afaik without logging in on the particular tty
[03:41] <DG19075> ReAn[Laptop]:  Ubuntu uses ext3 by default...
[03:42] <randal> how do i find what type of video card i have
[03:42] <randal> how do i find what type of video card i have
[03:42] <randal> how do i find what type of video card i have
[03:42] <FloodBot1> randal: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:42] <xocite> VanessaE: you don't run compiz or anything similiar?
[03:42] <IdleOne> !patience > randal
[03:42] <xocite> randal: lspci
[03:42] <starn> does anybody know why when i use teamspeak i echo to every one to the point of them not understanding me? i have pulseaudio and ubuntu 8.04 i think i have this prob with other voice programs i am not sure for i can not hear my self only in teamspeak when useing local test..
[03:42] <Ahadiel> randal, lspci | grep VGA
[03:42] <randal> how do i find what type of video card i have
[03:42] <randal> how do i find my video card
[03:42] <IdleOne> randal, pay attention
[03:43] <Ahadiel> randal, You've been given 2 answers already.
[03:43] <VanessaE> xocite, nope, just plain old KDE
[03:43] <IdleOne> lspci | grep vga
[03:43] <xocite> randal: chill, alright?  your question has been answered
[03:43] <randal> i dont understand what to do
[03:43] <Ahadiel> randal, go to a terminal, and type lspci | grep VGA
[03:43] <joe_electrician> reiserfs is okay, i use it for media serving, but i prefer ext3 for system
[03:43] <IdleOne> randal, open a terminal window and type lspci | grep VGA
[03:44] <Sorlag> cant run *.bin files, why is that?
[03:44] <xocite> VanessaE: From what you have told me, there shouldn't be an issue.  I recommend "WINEDEBUG="all" /path/to/program and look at the output
[03:44] <Ahadiel> Sorlag, chmod +x blah.bin && /path/to/blah.bin
[03:44] <randal> IdleOne:  now how do i find drivers for it
[03:44] <Ahadiel> randal, You can start by telling us what video card it is
[03:44] <starn> does anybody  know how to fix echo issues with Teamspeak 2?
[03:44] <IdleOne> randal, what card is it?
[03:45] <randal> IdleOne: lspci | grep
[03:45] <joe_electrician> Sorlag, *.bin files have to changed to executable and should be ran from command prompt
[03:45] <Ahadiel> -_-
[03:45] <randal> IdleOne:  typo sorry
[03:45] <randal> IdleOne: nVidia Corporation NV5M64 [RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro]
[03:45] <Ahadiel> randal, System => Admin => Restricted Drivers
[03:45] <IdleOne> !nvidia | randal  follow the link
[03:46] <IdleOne> randal, try what Ahadiel said first
[03:46] <randal> IdleOne: i cantfind restricted drivers
[03:46] <IdleOne> randal, what version of ubuntu are you running?
[03:47] <randal> 8.04
[03:47] <deltaray2> I have this system that grub seems to be messed up on, is there a way I can check it with dpkg?  On RedHat systems you can run rpm -V grub, is there an equivilent?
[03:47] <randal> IdleOne:  8.04
[03:47] <Ahadiel> IdleOne, I don't run Ubuntu myself (Archlinux ftw), so I could be off.
[03:47] <starn> does anybody  know how to fix echo issues with Teamspeak 2? there support dint help and google isnt finding anything
[03:47] <RomanaMentalis> I just installed ubuntu server but I can't seem to make my Dell Poweredge boot into the Linux OS - "Hard drive C:" is in the boot sequence, but it keeps skipping by it like it didn't find anything there.  I have installed Ubuntu on a virtual raid1 disk w/2 HD's, there are 2 other HD's on the system with nothing installed on them.  Suggestions please?
[03:47] <bbarton> anyone who can offer some gproftp help???????
[03:47] <nickrud> randal hardware drivers instead of restricted drivers in 8.04
[03:47] <joe_electrician> odd, my ip on here reads different that what it really is.
[03:47] <IdleOne> randal, system > admin > hardware Drivers Ahadiel not by mych :)
[03:48] <DarkAudit> I did sudo apt-build install pan, and after pan finished compiling, apt went and installed the binary off the regular repositories. What did I miss here?
[03:48] <randal> its allready checked of it says its in use but its doing nothing
[03:48] <randal> IdleOne: its allready checked of it says its in use but its doing nothing
[03:48] <IdleOne> randal, what are you expexting it to do?
[03:49] <IdleOne> expecting*

[03:50] <bogeyman> got a ? guys im trying to set my dns hooked direct to modem but every like 10 mins it keeps getting auto refreshed can i fix this and make it stick to a certain dns server?
[03:50] <Ahadiel> randal, And what problems do you have when trying to enable desktop effects?
[03:51] <pibe86> IdleOne: i did, but still beta5
[03:51] <randal> it wont enable
[03:51] <IdleOne> Ahadiel, he needs ccsm installed
[03:51] <randal> it sayshow do i do  that
[03:51] <Ahadiel> IdleOne, I thought Ubuntu came with default compiz?
[03:51] <banisterfiend> if i want to install ALSA to replace OSS, how do i do it? do i just apt-get a package, or do i have to recompile kernel? (im running linux mint elyssa, which is pretty much ubuntu)
[03:51] <IdleOne> I out. later folks. Ahadiel it does but for the fancy stuff you need ccsm
[03:51] <starn> does anybody  know how to fix echo issues with Teamspeak 2? there support dint help and google isnt finding anything
[03:51] <randal> when i try to enable visural effects i get this message the composite extension is not avaiable
[03:52] <Sorlag> Thx Ahadiel, thx joe_electrician works now.
[03:52] <Ahadiel> IdleOne, Well yeah, but that's not the issue at hand :D
[03:52] <CostaRicanQuaker> !es
[03:52] <Ahadiel> randal, Hold on
[03:52] <Sergeant_Pony> anyone having problems getting updates from the repositories?
[03:52] <randal> IdleOne: when i try to enable visural effects i get this message the composite extension is not avaiable
[03:52] <joe_electrician> Sorlag, yw, however forgot what I helped you with :)
[03:53] <bogeyman> how do u make a network config stick
[03:53] <Ahadiel> randal, sudo nvidia-xconfig
[03:53] <Ahadiel> randal, Then once that's done, restart X
[03:53] <randal> i have installed envy
[03:53] <bogeyman> i think network manager keeps refreshing my dns servers
[03:53] <Lokz> bogeyman : https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html#ethernet
[03:53] <pibe86> IdleOne: how can i do and upgrade just in one application?
[03:53] <gerardoj> Does anybody knows how can I list all my other machines within my network using terminal?
[03:54] <Lokz> you'd need nmap or a network mapper i'd believe
[03:54] <RomanaMentalis> Any thoughts on why I cannot boot into the Ubuntu server installation I just installed?  The computer passes right by the install like it isn't even there.
[03:54] <randal> im install ing nvidia-xconfig
[03:54] <pyrourk> buenas a todos , hi to all
[03:54] <Lokz> bios>boot from cd?
[03:54] <randal> IdleOne: its installed now what
[03:54] <Ahadiel> randal, It comes with the nvidia drivers, just do sudo nvidia-xconfig and reboot.
[03:54] <gerardoj> any clues?
[03:55] <randal> so i reboot right now
[03:55] <RomanaMentalis> the bios is set to boot from A: drive, CD, then HD, then Network
[03:55] <RomanaMentalis> it cycles through
[03:55] <VanessaE> ok, just checked - running the game on a separate X display doesn't change the speed appreciably.
[03:55] <Ahadiel> randal, yes
[03:55] <randal> ok
[03:55] <randal> ill brb in 2 min
[03:55] <RomanaMentalis> but doesn't pick up anything on HD C:
[03:55] <bogeyman> ok i know how to add my dns servers that np its just they keep getting reset to the original every like 10 mins
[03:55] <Pici> randal: You may not be able to enable compiz on that card, it is a bit old.
[03:55] <bogeyman> cant u disable network manager?
[03:55] <bogeyman> and use my own settings
[03:55] <Lokz> RomanaMentalis: it's installed?
[03:55] <RomanaMentalis> I just finished the installation then rebooted
[03:55] <Lokz> RomanaMentalis: if so you'll have to setup lilo to dual boot
[03:56] <Ahadiel> bogeyman, I personally perfer wicd, you may want to see if that can do it.
[03:56] <bbarton> Anyone at all willing to offer some help on gproftp??????????
[03:56] <Lokz> RomanaMentalis: and you have windows also installed on your drive?
[03:56] <Ahadiel> !patient | bbarton
[03:56] <Ahadiel> !patientience | bbarton
[03:56] <RomanaMentalis> it never had anything else installed on it
[03:56] <RomanaMentalis> it's a brand new server
[03:56] <Ahadiel> -_-
[03:56] <Leefmc> Question: I need to add some paths to my system enviorment ($PATH), and pythons env, how can this be done?
[03:56] <RomanaMentalis> i have 4 hd's 2 are combined into a virtual disk raid1 - that's where I installed Ubuntu
[03:56] <Ahadiel> !patience > bbarton
[03:56] <RomanaMentalis> the 2 other hd's are unused
[03:57] <Lokz> RomanaMentalis: and it installed successfuly and when you reboot, what happens?
[03:57] <bogeyman> Ahadiel: what is that?
[03:57] <bogeyman> wicd
[03:57] <Joeseph> For some reason, sounds are coming out of my pc, and not my speakers, how do I change that?
[03:57] <__yy> Leefmc: export PATH=/path/to/add:/other/path/to/add:$PATH
[03:57] <bogeyman> where can i get it
[03:57] <Ahadiel> bogeyman, It's like networkmanager, except better.
[03:57] <bbarton> ubottu: i don't think i got any pvt msgs
[03:57] <Leefmc> __yy: thats the command i use?
[03:57] <bogeyman> will it disable network manager for me?
[03:57] <Ahadiel> bogeyman, You probably need to disable it yourself, let me find you a tutorial link.
[03:57] <bogeyman> bc i think network manager resets my dns servers on me
[03:57] <Leefmc> __yy: k, and any idea about python?
[03:57] <RomanaMentalis> Lokz: I believe it installed correctly, I saw no error.  When I reboot, the machine goes through the boot sequence, it lists the HD's present but doesn't boot from them,  the network boot fails.
[03:58] <bogeyman> and how do i get wicd?
[03:58] <__yy> Leefmc: sorry, I don't know how to do it in python
[03:58] <Ahadiel> bogeyman, sudo apt-get install wicd (I'd assume it's in the repos)
[03:58] <RomanaMentalis> At first I tried to install ubuntu on one of the other hd's but halted the installation part way and restarted an installation on the virtual disk
[03:58] <bogeyman> i tried that
[03:58] <randal> IdleOne: you made ut wirse
[03:58] <Lokz> RomanaMentalis: no clue, sorry
[03:58] <bogeyman> didnt see it
[03:58] <Leefmc> __yy: np, i can do it in wing but i wanted to perma do it. Thanks :)
[03:58] <randal> IdleOne: you made it worse
[03:58] <bogeyman> spelling it wrong?
[03:58] <RomanaMentalis> lokz: think I should reinstall?
[03:59] <Ahadiel> bogeyman, does apt-cache search wicd return anything?
[03:59] <mkquist> any thoughts why firefox on one of my machines cant seem to load newegg?
[03:59] <randal> IdleOne:  my resolution is very low
[03:59] <Ahadiel> Leefmc, You can add it to .bashrc or /etc/profile
[03:59] <Joeseph> All of my music is coming from my pc, and not my speakers.  Done
[03:59] <bogeyman> Building dependency tree
[03:59] <bogeyman> Reading state information... Done
[03:59] <bogeyman> E: Couldn't find package wicd
[04:00] <FloodBot1> bogeyman: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:00] <bbarton> I am being patient Ahadiel.... i've been here for some time and am just re-asking if someone could help...
[04:00] <randal> Ahadiel:  now what
[04:00] <fourChan> is it possible to install a clean version of ubuntu? without any software?
[04:00] <Ahadiel> randal, Change your resolution
[04:00] <Leefmc> Ahadiel: Add what, the command i was told? It doesn't perma set the path?
[04:00] <fourChan> is it possible to install a clean version of ubuntu? without any software?
[04:01] <patrick_> !repeat
[04:01] <Ahadiel> bogeyman, try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wicd
[04:01] <Lokz> RomanaMentalis: Depends where it is, if you can access to it via the network, yes but elseway I doubt it since you have nothing to emulate your virtual drive
[04:01] <Ahadiel> fourChan, Choose another distribution.
[04:01] <randal> Ahadiel: u cant
[04:01] <Kludge^PingedOut> GREETINGS from planet earth \o/
[04:01] <bogeyman> my repos are up to date
[04:01] <bogeyman> lol
[04:01] <fourChan> Ahadiel: that's horrible!
[04:01] <randal> Ahadiel:  i cant it wont let me
[04:01] <Fezzler> my login screen resolution is off
[04:02] <Ahadiel> bogeyman, Then I guess they removed it for some reason -_-
[04:02] <Leefmc> __yy: Question then, is that export command permanent? Or is it just for the ubuntu session?
[04:02] <patrick_> fourChan: yes you can... you need the ubuntu-minimal iso
[04:02] <fourChan> patrick_: they do make one?
[04:02] <__yy> Leefmc: just for the session
[04:02] <fourChan> great, i haven't been able to find one
[04:02] <randal> Ahadiel:  my video card turned off after that
[04:02] <Kludge^WalesUK> any sexy ubuntu geeks available for help a partial n00b?
[04:02] <fourChan> oh wait, does the ubuntu minimal not have a GUI?
[04:02]  * Kludge^WalesUK hides
[04:02] <Ahadiel> randal, What?
[04:03] <patrick_> Ahadiel: you should not give definite answers to questions you do not know.
[04:03] <acrousey> How much RAM would you guys suggest for running Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop? It was running kind of slow with 256.
[04:03] <Leefmc> __yy: Actually n/m, seems i need to do more than the path anyway, i need to run a dif bash script. Which is a better place to put startup code then? .bashrc or /etc/profile ?
[04:03] <randal> Ahadiel: my video card turned off its not in use anymore after i restarted my computer
[04:03] <patrick_> fourChan: no
[04:03] <bobertdos> acrousey: 512 would be good, with a swap file, a gig would be better
[04:03] <__yy> .bashrc or .profile for per user stuff, /etc/profile for stuff that should be active for every user
[04:03] <randal> Ahadiel: i turned it on should i restart my computer
[04:03] <Kludge^WalesUK> is this a "free for all" asking channel?
[04:04] <patrick_> fourChan: you could use the alternate cd to install just the bits you want also
[04:04] <__yy> Leefmc: ^^ above was for you
[04:04] <Ahadiel> randal, I still don't understand what happened.
[04:04] <acrousey> bobertdos: a gig of RAM?
[04:04] <DarkAudit> what did I do wrong to have apt-build install download and install the precompiled binary off the main repos instead?
[04:04] <acrousey> would i be able to put that into an older Presario 5000?
[04:04] <fourChan> http://blogs.focuspoint-solutions.com/wiggythoughts/2007/09/minimal-ubuntu-desktop.html
[04:04] <fourChan> cool, huh?
[04:04] <bobertdos> acrousey: yeah, but actually, 512 with a swap file would work reasonably well
[04:04] <Leefmc> __yy: k, thank you. (Especially for saying my name, or i would have missed it :)
[04:04] <Kludge^WalesUK> i have a very `minimal` desktop ;)
[04:04] <bogeyman> Ahadiel: i found it i had to add the repo manually
[04:05]  * bogeyman went to the wicd site lol
[04:05] <Ahadiel> bogeyman, Ah okay, good.
[04:05] <Ahadiel> :D
[04:05] <randal> Ahadiel: ok i installed what you tolled me restarted computer BAM resolution is at the lowest ut can get and i noticed my video card is now turned off (not in use)
[04:05] <acrousey> alrightt, I can find another 256 for $30 I think
[04:05] <Ahadiel> randal, If it's turned off then how do you see this?
[04:05] <Kludge^WalesUK> is anyone here reasonably adept at installing a "seedbox" (generalisation" on a minimal (terminal) installation of ubuntu ?
[04:06] <Sergeant_Pony> anyone having problems getting updates from the repositories?
[04:06] <J[a]WC> anyone know why opera would be using 1.1GB RAM?
[04:06] <randal> Ahadiel: in hardware drivers it says my videocard is not in use
[04:06] <Xavura> What version of openarena is in the repos?
[04:06] <Xavura> 7.6?
[04:06] <__yy> Kludge^WalesUK: the default install of ubuntu server would be a good place to start
[04:06] <iplaythisgame> Sergeant_Pony,  is acroread one of the updates?
[04:06] <gnomeuser^> Hey
[04:07] <gnomeuser^> I want to change the time displayed to UTC
[04:07] <iplaythisgame> Sergeant_Pony, try the terminal
[04:07] <Sergeant_Pony> iplaythisgame: not sure, I'mm getting errors
[04:07] <randal> Ahadiel:  so now what do i restart my computer
[04:07] <Ahadiel> randal, Tell me again what happened when you tried to use nvidia-settings
[04:07] <gnomeuser^> before I used to right click on the time and would select UTC in preferences.. how to do it hardy ?
[04:07] <iplaythisgame> Sergeant_Pony, are you using the gui update manager?
[04:07] <Sergeant_Pony> nod
[04:07] <acrousey> would I be able to create a Swap file with ubuntu or would I need to use a different OS? I think I could make it within PuppyLinux
[04:07] <Joeseph> I'm running ubuntuStudio, and sound is kinda important. Right now It's coming through my pc's built-in speakers, but I want them to come through to my external speakers. How Do I switch sound devices?
[04:08] <iplaythisgame> Sergeant_Pony,   in terminal   sudo apt-get update
[04:08] <gnomeuser^> anyone ?
[04:08] <gnomeuser^>  before I used to right click on the time and would select UTC in preferences.. how to do it hardy ?
[04:08] <iplaythisgame> Sergeant_Pony, then sudo apt-get upgrade       that got me past some error in the acroread update yesterday
[04:08] <sparcdr> acrousey: you can use a swapfile
[04:08] <ReAn[Laptop]> Hrm, Ubuntu is making a very interesting light show on one of my two monitors, i assume this is linked to the fact that i have not enabled multi-monitors, so i guess my question is, how do i enable my 2nd monitor in ubuntu desktop?
[04:08] <Johnny> im trying to get these icons installed http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Red+Icons+for+GNU%2BLinux?content=84396
[04:09] <Johnny> so far nothing works
[04:09] <randal> Ahadiel:  after i did that i restarted my computer and my video card resoulution was set to like 800 by 800 something like that and my hardware driver says my video card is now not in use
[04:09] <Sergeant_Pony> iplaythisgame: ok, will have to go that route
[04:09] <sparcdr> ReAn[Laptop]: video chipset?
[04:09] <acrousey> sparcdr: can I create one while installing Ubunto Desktop?
[04:09] <sparcdr> acrousey: no but do you have 512mb ram?
[04:09] <Ahadiel> randal, When using sudo nvidia-settings, did you click "Save to xorg.conf" or something similar?
[04:09] <acrousey> sparcdr: not yet
[04:09] <sparcdr> oh so you have ?
[04:10] <acrousey> still only 256
[04:10] <ReAn[Laptop]> sparcdr: nVidia 7600
[04:10] <sparcdr> grab the alternative installer acrousey
[04:10] <randal> Ahadiel: it just looked like it installed something i didnt do anything
[04:10] <sparcdr> you need to use text-based installer, which is more advanced anyways
[04:10] <sparcdr> and takes less ram
[04:10] <Johnny> how do i get it so screenlets dont minimize from the show desktop button
[04:10] <randal> Ahadiel:  this is what haappond dawn@dawn-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings
[04:10] <randal> Reading package lists... Done
[04:10] <randal> Building dependency tree
[04:10] <randal> Reading state information... Done
[04:10] <randal> nvidia-settings is already the newest version.
[04:10] <FloodBot1> randal: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:10] <randal> The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
[04:10] <Ahadiel> randal, Well do sudo nvidia-settings and modify your resolution!
[04:10] <Kludge^WalesUK> anyone in here have a seedbox, i could do with some advice... I'm happy to idle, learn, and contribute here
[04:10] <Ahadiel> randal, I'm not asking you to INSTALL IT!
[04:10] <acrousey> sparcdr: does it run same/similar OS?
[04:10] <sparcdr> yes
[04:11] <randal> Ahadiel:  waa what do i do
[04:11] <sparcdr> the installer is easy it's just not gui
[04:11] <acrousey> oh
[04:11] <Ahadiel> randal, Well do sudo nvidia-settings and modify your resolution!
[04:11] <sparcdr> it uses dialogs you use tab to navigate and enter/space
[04:11] <acrousey> is it already on the CD?
[04:11] <sparcdr> no
[04:11] <sparcdr> i said it's the alternate iso
[04:11] <sparcdr> see the ubuntulinux website
[04:11] <acrousey> so I have to download it again?
[04:11] <sparcdr> you got the wrong one
[04:11] <randal> its says im not useing nivida x driver
[04:11] <Ahadiel> Kludge^WalesUK, You could install Ubuntu Server Edition and use torrentflux. (That's about as far as I know.)
[04:11] <sparcdr> the alternative is for very old systems
[04:11] <randal> i think i need to restart my computer
[04:11] <acrousey> i got it from ubuntu's website
[04:12] <randal> Ahadiel:  i think i need to restart my computer
[04:12] <Ahadiel> randal, Pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:12] <sparcdr> typical users with 512mb can use the default one
[04:12] <Ahadiel> !paste | randal
[04:12] <sparcdr> you have to specifically get the alternative one
[04:12] <acrousey> it's Ubuntulinux that i want?
[04:12] <sparcdr> ill link you sir
[04:12] <sparcdr> yes
[04:12] <acrousey> thanks
[04:12] <randal> whats post bin
[04:12] <randal> how do you post bin

[04:13] <Kludge^WalesUK> does this channel ever stop scrolling? :P (yes i'm used to the speed)
[04:13] <sparcdr> acrousey: i assume that you have space already prepared right?
[04:14] <acrousey> yeah, i have an older 40 gig hard drive that I can easily reformat

[04:14] <bogeyman> ok one more ? whats the chmod to not allow read or write axx?
[04:15] <mavsman4457> Are there any good mac themes for ubuntu besides Mac4Lin?
[04:15] <acrousey> Luckily for me I have PuppyLinux which runs on RAM
[04:15]  * Kludge^WalesUK gets nekkid and races around the channel just to get some (unwanted) attention :P!
[04:15] <sparcdr> mavsman4457: not really
[04:15] <iplaythisgame> was gnome-look down earlier?
[04:15] <sparcdr> none of them will ever be accurate enough
[04:15] <Lokz> is it normal that old ata drive hangs at 33% while partition formating (creating ext3 file system 0,0,0)?
[04:15] <sparcdr> Lokz: no
[04:16] <sparcdr> Lokz: size?
[04:16] <Lokz> 13.5g
[04:16] <Lokz> OLD lol :P
[04:16] <sparcdr> Lokz: have you used another os on it recently?
[04:16] <Lokz> yea
[04:16] <puller_> bobertdos: hey
[04:16] <sparcdr> did you wipe everything first?
[04:16] <Lokz> no
[04:16] <Lokz> I did use the whole disk, and I assume it would reformat
[04:17] <randal> Ahadiel: you there
[04:17] <Lokz> assumed*
[04:17] <bobertdos> yes, puller?
[04:17] <sparcdr> yeah you're right but did you assign root /
[04:17] <bogeyman> whats the chmod for making a file non writable or readeable?
[04:17] <Ahadiel> randal, pastebin /etc/X11/xorg.conf as I said many times.
[04:17] <sparcdr> you need to use create then leave ext3 chose / for mountpoint make sure format is ticked
[04:17] <ryanakca> !wifi

[04:17] <Fezzler> How do I switch from my current nvidia driver to the "legacy" driver?
[04:17] <FloodBot1> randal: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:17] <Lokz> sparcdr: kk will do
[04:18] <sparcdr> so click/select the ones there and use delete/remove and then clear off all then on free space create and do what I said
[04:18] <Lokz> so.. I just turn the power off?
[04:18] <Lokz> since it's stuck there
[04:18] <Ahadiel> !pm | bogeyman
[04:18] <randal> Ahadiel:  how do i paste bin
[04:18] <brrrrrradical> could somebody help me get my printer working...?
[04:18] <Ahadiel> !paste | randal for the last time.
[04:18] <unavailable> !paste | randal
[04:18] <bogeyman> thats sad cant help someone out lol
[04:19] <jasonago> is there a downloadable cd packages for kubuntu desktop so that we can avoid downloading seperate packages using adept???
[04:19] <puller_> anyoen know how to configure two finger scrollign on a touchpad?
[04:19] <Ahadiel> bogeyman, man chmod
[04:19] <randal> Ahadiel:  how do i use this service
[04:19] <iplaythisgame> randal, go to http://paste.ubuntu.com/       paste in the contents of you file, then copy the url and paste that in here
[04:19] <sparcdr> jasonago: such as?
[04:19] <ReAn[Laptop]> I'm trying to install the nVidia Drivers for my video card, i've jumped into a terminal mode (CTRL+ALT+F5) but it wont start the install until X is killed, how can i turn off X so i can install my drivers?
[04:19] <jasonago> is there a downloadable cd packages for kubuntu desktop so that we can avoid downloading seperate packages using adept??? somewhat a compilation of all the neded packages to run kdeapps and some kde apps on a cd...
[04:20] <sparcdr> ReAn[Laptop]: you use the drivers provided by ubuntu
[04:20] <__yy> ReAn[Laptop]: you need to sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[04:20] <sparcdr> not the official
[04:20] <MatthewV> ReAn[Laptop], doesn't System --> Administration --> HArdware Drivers work for you?
[04:20] <__yy> ReAn[Laptop]: replace gdm with kdm if you use kde
[04:20] <Kludge^WalesUK> anyone here have a seedbox at all?
[04:20] <sparcdr> if you login using the default there's an applet for hardware drivers you click it and check enable and itll download the nvidia drivers

[04:20] <brrrrrradical> :/
[04:20] <Ahadiel> Kludge^WalesUK, Did you even read what I said before?
[04:20] <Kludge^WalesUK> oooh theres a command? WTF
[04:21] <iplaythisgame> lol randal is hopeless?
[04:21] <ReAn[Laptop]> MatthewV: I just went to nVidia and downloaded thier drivers... i've never done it any other way before
[04:21] <Kludge^WalesUK> Ahadiel: no, i've been distracted by a troll ;(
[04:21] <brrrrrradical> now im trying to get my Epson Stylus C45 working via usb ... it seems to be recognised but won't print anything ... not even the test page
[04:21] <sparcdr> ReAn[Laptop]: no need with ubuntu
[04:21] <unavailable> randal go to http://paste.ubuntu.com and post the URL NOT THE CONTENTS OF THE PASTE
[04:21] <Ahadiel> Kludge^WalesUK, I think you're trolling, but in anycase. Setup an ubuntu server and install torrentflux
[04:21] <Kludge^WalesUK> torrentflux is awful, tried it on a FREE server
[04:22] <MatthewV> ReAn[Laptop], the recommended way to install nvidia drivers in ubuntu (and usually  most successful) is to use System --> Administration --> Hardware Drivers... it's usually just a matter of checking a box and pressing OK then :)
[04:22] <Ahadiel> Kludge^WalesUK, hey, it gets the job done.
[04:22]  * unavailable uses ktorrent
[04:22] <Kludge^WalesUK> Ahadiel: it gets it done badly ;(
[04:22] <Kludge^WalesUK> unavailable: kTorrent was one of my choice, deluge seems as nice and has a good webui
[04:22] <VanessaE> ktorrent > *
[04:22] <ReAn[Laptop]> That's nice, in a way
[04:22] <VanessaE> :)
[04:23] <ReAn[Laptop]> it certantly simplifies the process but i wonder what limitations it puts on the user
[04:23]  * unavailable doesnt like deluge at all
[04:23] <Ahadiel> Doesn't deluge have a webui now?
[04:23] <randal> Ahadiel: did i do it right http://paste.ubuntu.com/27401/
[04:23] <Utalcn2me> i just plugged in a new samsung flat panel i just bought, wide 19", hardy set it up auto (14400x900) - now what do i do, i didn't even get to set it up :(
[04:23] <Kludge^WalesUK> VanessaE: i'm not sure i've tried kTorrent.... does it have a webui?
[04:23] <Leefmc> Question: I need to run a command at startup that appends path info, and other system related stuff. However, this needs sudo. Currently im storing it in .bashrc, but how do i call sudo from a script without the security risk of storing your password?
[04:23] <bogeyman> shit i did chmod -R 444 on a file how do i change that back so i can read that file again haha i didnt mean to set it so i cant ever read it again
[04:23] <ReAn[Laptop]> now i just have to figure out how to remove the lightshow on my left monitor and ill be happy
[04:23] <MatthewV> ReAn[Laptop], I'd just give that a shot.. it does exactlyt the same thing as trying to install the drivers from nvidia (you end up with nvidia-settings installed and all that) but much easier
[04:23] <unavailable> randal yes
[04:23] <VanessaE> Kludge^WalesUK, eh?
[04:23] <unavailable> randal you posted the pastebin right
[04:23] <randal> Ahadiel:  now what
[04:24] <randal> ok
[04:24] <Kludge^WalesUK> VanessaE: does kTorrent have a webui (web interface) so you can access your machine from anywhere?
[04:24] <VanessaE> it has a built-in mini web browser and can search, if that's what you mean
[04:24] <unavailable> randal what are you trying to do
[04:24] <randal> to get my video card working
[04:24] <VanessaE> er, ktorrent is a bittorrent client, not a VNC client.
[04:24] <CoolFox> hey, anybody know how to install new GNOME themes?
[04:24] <Ahadiel> randal, Well, it looks like you're using the nvidia driver. Try rebooting I guess if sudo nvidia-settings isn't working.
[04:24] <CoolFox> or, more over, where to get them?
[04:24] <VanessaE> so probsbly not :-)
[04:24] <Ahadiel> VanessaE, He probably means access his torrents from anywhere -_-
[04:24] <Kludge^WalesUK> VanessaE: i know WHAT ktorrent is... i'm asking if it has a http daemon
[04:25] <iplaythisgame> i think i use nvidia-sconfig?
[04:25] <randal> Ahadiel: ill brb 2 min
[04:25] <VanessaE> er, probably
[04:25] <unavailable> randal and im assuming you tried System > Administration > Hardware Drivers
[04:25] <iplaythisgame> nvidia-xconfig i mean
[04:25] <bogeyman> hey Ahadiel if i did a chmod -R 444 on a file and now i cant take it back how am i suppost to be able to read it again
[04:25] <randal>  yes
[04:25] <Ahadiel> bogeyman, chmod 666
[04:25] <randal> a hundread times
[04:25] <Kludge^WalesUK> anyone in here use rTorrent at all?
[04:25] <unavailable> randal and what did you do there?
[04:26] <Ahadiel> iplaythisgame, Sigh, I told him to do that a while back.
[04:26] <brrrrrradical> im trying to get my Epson Stylus C45 working via usb ... it has been configured properly (at least i thought so) and now cups just syas its not connected pr busy
[04:26] <brrrrrradical> or*
[04:26] <Kludge^WalesUK> Ahadiel: do you torrent at all under ubuntu?
[04:26] <bobbob1016> Can someone tell me how to do a direct bit-for-bit image of a DVD?  I know it's a simple command, but I don't know it off hand
[04:27] <Ahadiel> Kludge^WalesUK, I don't use Ubuntu, however I prefer Transmission for torrents.
[04:27] <Algeris> how can I view binary files with less, there's a sever that whenever I run less on a binary file i get some nice orderly elf header stuff
[04:27] <Algeris> cant duplicatr the same display on my ubuntu server edition
[04:27] <__yy> bobbob1016: should be something like dd if=/dev/devwhatever of=myimagefile
[04:27] <igors> hi all..is possible to create custom 'widgets' to add in my desktop panel?
[04:27] <iplaythisgame> Ahadiel, what distro u use?
[04:27] <Ahadiel> bobbob1016, dd if=/dev/yourdvddrive of=/home/<user>/blah.iso
[04:27] <unavailable> I have found transmission does not use my full connection
[04:27] <Kludge^WalesUK> Ahadiel: not tried transmission yet, but a webUI would be nice... i can use VNC, but would like to use FreeNX really...
[04:27] <Ahadiel> iplaythisgame, Archlinux
[04:28] <unavailable> even with hundreds of seeds it still gets stuck at 150 k or so
[04:28] <Kludge^WalesUK> rTorrent with a webui, all the tutorials i've read (from an SSH standpoint) seem to be missing a lot of steps
[04:28] <randal> Ahadiel: my resolution is back to normall by visual effects still dont work
[04:28] <Leefmc> Question: According to a forum post i should add sudo startup commands to /etc/init.d/rc.local, however my sudo startup commands need to use cd ~/blah, but i dont want to break any scripts by putting them in a different directory. How do i store the current directory so i can cd back to it?
[04:28] <Ahadiel> randal, sudo nvidia-xconfig
[04:28] <bobbob1016> __yy, Ahadiel, thanks I realized it was something with dd after I asked, but I couldn't look, wanted to start it right before I went to bed, thanks.
[04:29] <Kludge^WalesUK> BRB GGP (pizza of course) ;)
[04:29] <randal> Ahadiel:  sudo nvidia-xconfig
[04:29] <Ahadiel> randal, What's wrong with you -_-
[04:29] <bogeyman> ok Ahadiel how do u make a file non writeable?
[04:29] <bogeyman> im doing chmod -w but its not working
[04:29] <Ahadiel> bogeyman, Umm, let's see.
[04:29] <mikebot> Are the volume keys on my notebook supposed to work in Hardy?
[04:30] <randal> Ahadiel:  cant get visual effects to work
[04:30] <jediknight_c2k> hello
[04:30] <nickrud> Leefmc go ahead and do whatever cd you want, any other script will be running in it's own environment
[04:30] <unavailable> randal do you have compiz?
[04:30] <randal> or any desktop effects video card not working porperly
[04:30] <bogeyman> i want to make the resolv.conf non writeable so it cannot be changed
[04:30] <Ahadiel> randal, Did you run that command from the terminal?
[04:30] <iplaythisgame> randal, what kind of visual effects?
[04:30] <randal> yes
[04:30] <randal> yes
[04:30] <RobNyc> !vbox
[04:30] <Ahadiel> randal, And pastebin the output for me.
[04:30] <randal> NORmal  ones
[04:30] <randal> any ones
[04:30] <randal> NOTHING WORKS
[04:30] <FloodBot1> randal: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:30] <Leefmc> nickrud: K, if i need sudo, is the rc.local better than /etc/profile? (Assuming /etc/profile even has sudo)
[04:30] <Leefmc> nickrud: How would you store the current dir though?
[04:31] <Ahadiel> bogeyman, Nonwriteable for who?
[04:31] <bobbob1016> __yy, Ahadiel, Just too bad there isn't a percentage, or something showing it is still working, apart from my DVD drive spinning...  thanks again
[04:31] <randal> IN APERANCE VISURAL EFFECTS DONT WORK
[04:31] <bogeyman> everyone
[04:31] <nickrud> Leefmc rc.local runs as root, you don't need sudo. and you could do   VARIABLE=$(pwd)
[04:31] <randal> soory for caps
[04:31] <Ahadiel> bob3213243, Uhh, there could be a verbose flag
[04:31] <Pici> !attitude | randal
[04:31] <bogeyman> i dont want that file to be changed from neone
[04:31] <unavailable> randal and you tried System > Preferences > Appearance  > Visual Effects ?
[04:31] <mikebot> Or rather, does Hardy support the use ofvolume keys on notebooks?
[04:31] <randal> i said sorry for caps
[04:31] <__yy> bobertdos: you could do watch ls -lh theimagefile in a terminal and watch the file grow if you wanted...
[04:31] <unavailable> rofl
[04:31] <Ahadiel> bogeyman, You could just make root the owner.
[04:31] <unavailable> randal nvmnd
[04:32] <dr_Willis> mikebot,  my laptop volume keys work fine here under hardy.
[04:32] <randal> thats what i am haveing problems with i cant enable them
[04:32] <bogeyman> whats that do?
[04:32] <jediknight_c2k> i have a question but i'm REALLY new to the whole linux thing so please don't rip on me too bad!
[04:32] <Leefmc> nickrud: Ah thanks, i wasn't aware of the pwd command. And in regards to sudo, im asking if /etc/profile is better than rc.local for admin commands?
[04:32] <unavailable> randal you try the Compiz-fusion-icon?
[04:32] <bobertdos> __yy: I don't know why people are answering questions I'm not asking.
[04:32] <mikebot> dr_Willis: Did they work so when you first installed it?
[04:32] <Miksag1> hey, um, how do I make a user account which every user has access to?
[04:32] <Ahadiel> bogeyman, It means that only root (or the use of sudo) can access the file.
[04:32] <randal> i get the error the compasite extension is not aviable
[04:32] <randal> twhat do i do ith that
[04:32] <Ahadiel> randal, sudo nvidia-xconfig && sudo reboot
[04:32] <nickrud> Leefmc /etc/profile is probably not the right place, it gets run for each login. If it's a one-time thing at boot, rc.local is better.
[04:33] <jords> Er.... something weird is going on. The mysql on my new ubuntu server install will accept a login with any username and no password, but not give any priviliges. More a problem, though, is that the only user you can actually login as and get priviliges is root - all the other users only login with no password even though i've set one for them, and don't get priviliges to do anything
[04:33] <jediknight_c2k> just downloaded a program and i have NO idea how to install it....
[04:33] <dr_Willis> mikebot,  Yes. My volume keys work better under linux, then they do under vista on my new laptop. They work fine on my older laptop also.
[04:33] <Leefmc> nickrud: K thank you.
[04:33] <unavailable> randal you can switch the window manager from metacity to compiz, see if thats the problem
[04:33] <randal> Ahadiel:  we tried that and it didnt work
[04:33] <bogeyman> it says it is the root as owner
[04:33] <mikebot> dr_Willis: Hrm, alright thanks. Do you know how I could figure out why mine aren't working?
[04:33] <Kludge^WalesUK> any rTorrent users lurking?
[04:33] <randal> its allready on compiz
[04:33] <bogeyman> but how come my ns servers get changed about every 20 mins
[04:33] <Leefmc> nickrud: For reference though, is /etc/profile root? (admin, sudo, etc)
[04:33] <bogeyman> i got network manager removed
[04:33] <bogeyman> dns*
[04:33] <dr_Willis> mikebot,  not a clue. Ubuntu is one of the best distros ive seen for detecting/using special keys.
[04:33] <Ahadiel> randal, As Pici said a whiel back, maybe your card is just too old for visual effects.
[04:34] <randal> its old
[04:34] <MatthewV> jediknight_c2k, generally programs in ubuntu are best installed from the repositories (see Applications --> Add/Remove... and System --> Administration --> Synaptic) what program are you trying to install/
[04:34] <unavailable> randal yah, what card do u have?
[04:34] <randal> but it shouldnt be this bad
[04:34] <jediknight_c2k> any reccomendations?
[04:34] <Ahadiel> bogeyman, Maybe it's your router.
[04:34] <mikebot> dr_Willis: OK, well, thanks. Cheers.
[04:34] <nickrud> Leefmc none of the above. It's a shell environment setup thingy, it gets sourced whenever you login, for any user.
[04:34] <randal> windows xp had beter visural effects
[04:34] <bogeyman> im direct to modem lol

[04:35] <nickrud> Leefmc it's used by bash and sh, probably other shells that I don't use and so don't know the usage
[04:35] <bogeyman> lol bc when it changes my dns servers back to my isp i cant get online
[04:35] <jediknight_c2k> am i visible?
[04:35] <bogeyman> i have to use a certain one
[04:35] <joe_electrician> bogeyman, use nslookup

[04:35] <Leefmc> nickrud: On a side note, if i put echos in the rc.local startup script, is there anyway i can read them?
[04:35] <bogeyman> i can get that
[04:36] <randal> things
[04:36] <joe_electrician> bogeyman, e.g., nslookup my.isp.com
[04:36] <bogeyman> i cant use the ones my isp provides

[04:39] <nickrud> mnemo isn't tnt2 the chip set? (not real hot on nvidia)
[04:39] <iplaythisgame> spiritssight, was there an update to acroread that caused that?
[04:39] <mneptok> randal: "I don;t know what hardware I own, but MAKE IT GO!" isn;t really helpful ;)
[04:40] <spiritssight> I don't think so as I don't have that installed
[04:40] <randal> its a nivida gpu
[04:40] <randal> 1 sec ill tell you what it is
[04:40] <nickrud> spiritssight do   sudo apt-get update , that will give you better error messages
[04:40] <mneptok> randal: that's better. now, which of nVidia's many chipsets does it use?
[04:40] <iplaythisgame> spiritssight,  u got the medi repo installed?
[04:40] <MatthewV> jediknight_c2k, ok, type in 'cd ~/Desktop' without the ' symbols, then hit enter, followed by a 'chmod +x GoogleEarthLinux.bin' and then 'sudo ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin'
[04:41] <dr_Willis> jediknight_c2k,  i do belive that googleearth is in the medibuntu repositories.
[04:41] <spiritssight> I don't really know I am very new to all this

[04:44] <jediknight_c2k> call me old fashioned but i want to know how to make it work myself :P
[04:44] <mneptok> jediknight_c2k: just use GOOGearth? ;)

[04:44] <Debian_Noobie> hello
[04:44] <Megaqwerty> jediknight_c2k: sudo -i
[04:44] <dr_Willis> jediknight_c2k,  using the repositories is the right way. :)
[04:44] <randal> im installing it already
[04:45] <Debian_Noobie> does anyone know where the file is that locks the camera when mounted?
[04:45] <jediknight_c2k> thanks
[04:45] <Leefmc> nickrud: No luck, any idea where else i could put it?
[04:45] <unavailable> randal read the last set of paragraphs
[04:45] <nickrud> Leefmc what are you doing?
[04:45] <iplaythisgame> do you have to add root to the passwd to use sudo -i?
[04:45] <randal> do i copy that code somewhere
[04:45] <nickrud> iplaythisgame no, just use your regular password.
[04:46] <justdweezil> who whould i ask a question about moving ubuntu from livecd to a harddisk install?
[04:46] <Leefmc> nickrud: Running a script for an app. Not sure all of what it does, but it adds to the system path, etc. Now assuming it worked, the system path addition didnt stick. When i echo $PATH i do not see its modifications
[04:46] <Debian_Noobie> !gphoto
[04:46] <MatthewV> jediknight_c2k, if you want to use the medibuntu repos, follow instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu on adding those repositories and then just install the googleearth package using synaptic or terminal
[04:46] <iplaythisgame> nickrud, so why does just about every how to for installing recommend doin sudo passwd root?
[04:46] <Megaqwerty> jediknight_c2k: however, I do want to stress that it is preferable to minimize the time you're in root. stupid mistakes happen.
[04:46] <randal> i dont understand do i repplace my moitor code in there and use that code
[04:46] <Awsoonn> justdweezil:  ask away
[04:46] <jediknight_c2k> any recommended reading for learning linux?
[04:46] <dr_Willis> Leefmc,  a script normally can not 'export' variables back to the parent process.
[04:47] <iplaythisgame> nickrud, i gues im asking are there restrictions to sudo -i?
[04:47] <nickrud> Leefmc Determining what it's doing is critical for determining what goes where ;).
[04:47] <Leefmc> dr_Willis: Argh, how the hell do they want me to run it. Grr
[04:47] <IndyGunFreak> !info gphoto2 | Debian_Noobie
[04:47] <Megaqwerty> iplaythisgame: because those howtos aren't good?
[04:47] <Debian_Noobie> !I could best describe it similar to a lock that xserver uses while user is logged in to gnome
[04:47] <dr_Willis> Leefmc,  no idea what you are trying to do.. so i cant answer. :) you could 'source' the script.
[04:47] <iplaythisgame> Megaqwerty, lol
[04:47] <spiritssight> nickrud did you get the link
[04:47] <nickrud> iplaythisgame no, sudo -i gives you the equivalent of   su - .  sudo passwd root enables logging into the root account by giving it a usable password
[04:47] <dr_Willis> Leefmc,  source /path/to/script
[04:47] <Debian_Noobie> what is that ubottu?
[04:47] <nickrud> spiritssight no, I missed it
[04:47] <unavailable> randal     sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.7.14.08 && sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:47] <Leefmc> dr_Willis: Yea
[04:48] <dr_Willis> Leefmc,  thats not 'quite' the same as runnign it. :)
[04:48] <Megaqwerty> iplaythisgame: they're probably used to using root on other distributions, so they are used to using that insecure method of gaining root access.
[04:48] <Leefmc> dr_Willis: I actually was intending to, i neglected that, perhaps thats why?
[04:48] <nickrud> spiritssight oh, the first one, with the error? Yes, I did
[04:48] <Leefmc> dr_Willis: Well they intend you to source it
[04:48] <kathleen> I have via_rhine nic that keeps training up at 100tx... but it is a gig..
[04:48] <Leefmc> dr_Willis: or so i read
[04:48] <kathleen>  mii-tool -F 1000baseTx
[04:48] <kathleen> Invalid media specification '1000baseTx'.
[04:48] <mneptok> a root password should not be set on an Ubuntu system
[04:48] <jediknight_c2k> i like making stupid mistakes though...  i seem to learn more by messing things up than by doing it right...
[04:48] <Blaqlight> ubottu is self deprecating. interesting that a bot should be capable of such "human-like" actions.
[04:48] <mneptok> full stop.
[04:48] <kathleen> why is that invalid?
[04:48] <dr_Willis> Leefmc,  i think one often sees . path/to/script  instead of source /path/to/thing
[04:48] <nickrud> spiritssight the problem is how the cdrom was added; we need to fix a file.  gedit /etc/apt/sources.list , copy the contents to the pastebin and give me the link
[04:48] <Debian_Noobie> I hear that jedi
[04:48] <spiritssight> correct :-(
[04:48] <Debian_Noobie> will toast to that claim
[04:48] <Megaqwerty> jediknight_c2k: still, I would recommend sticking with just typing sudo as much as possible
[04:49] <Leefmc> dr_Willis: Well technically, i need to cd to that dir because the script needs me to be there
[04:49] <unavailable> then copy paste your monitor section into the new xorg.conf that you will paste over everything in gedit and save
[04:49] <jediknight_c2k> i see where you're coming from
[04:49] <mneptok> unavailable: bad advice on Hardy
[04:49] <VanessaE> ah ubottu is just biding his time until the machines take over. :-)
[04:49] <mneptok> unavailable: Hardy discourages editing of xorg.conf
[04:49] <nickrud> Leefmc what I would do with the path is make the path addition to /etc/environment
[04:49] <dr_Willis> VanessaE,  shhhh.. they allready have...
[04:49] <randal> ITS NOT WORKING
[04:49] <Debian_Noobie> i learned the most from this os from my own errors
[04:49] <VanessaE> heh

[04:50] <randal> this is hopeless
[04:50] <dr_Willis> Leefmc,  i would think it would be best to set the PATHS in the proper profile/bashrc/other files. Not in rc.local  depending on what/why you are setting them.
[04:50] <Leefmc> nickrud: Well the script needs to be run no matter what, and it appends to the path anyway, so i'd essentially be adding to the path twice i think
[04:50] <randal> would envy be messing all this up
[04:50] <mneptok> unavailable: you *can* edit xorg.conf. that doesn't mean you *should*.
[04:50] <mneptok> randal: yes it would

[04:51] <unavailable> mneptok thats why i told him to      sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.7.14.08 && sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:51] <randal> well i was told to
[04:51] <randal> as a last hope
[04:51] <unavailable> mneptok so he has a bakup
[04:51] <justdweezil> if i have an error window that keeps popping up when i click 'okay' (the only option) how can i force quit it?
[04:51] <Leefmc> dr_Willis: Well im not setting the paths, they are, but im not going to start hacking their scripts hehe :). I'll try the rc.local source, and see if it works
[04:51] <unavailable> jic
[04:51] <mneptok> randal: your chipset is ~10 years old. Envy is for using the latest and greatest nVidia drivers.
[04:51] <randal> i think it made it worse tho
[04:51] <reduz> QUESTION: At home and office i upgraded from ubuntu 7.04 to 8.04, and now both computers crawl to death and keep swapping all the time, something that didn't happen before. Pentium-D and X2 , both dual core, any hint?

[04:52] <randal> what do i do now
[04:52] <mneptok> randal: instead of apologozong, just don't use caps.
[04:52] <nickrud> reduz you upgraded directly from 7.04 to 8.04? If so, clean install
[04:52] <randal> what do i do
[04:52] <IndyGunFreak> randal: well, you know what they about advice, trust but verify, you didn't do the latter
[04:52] <randal> is it hopeless
[04:52] <mneptok> randal: you boot to recover mode and use xfix
[04:52] <hackel> Using Brasero to burn an audio CD takes 30 minutes (2x speed!) and uses 100% CPU (50% of dual-core).  What might I be doing wrong here?
[04:52] <Debian_Noobie> not sure reduz, what are the errors when pressing esc during start up
[04:52] <Debian_Noobie> check the startup log reduz
[04:52] <reduz> nickrud, really? is it because of a problem? I mean i also upgraded to 7.04 without any issue
[04:52] <randal> howablout i reinstall ubuntu and try this agian tomarop
[04:52] <nickrud> mneptok is xfix documented anywhere?
[04:53] <reduz> Debian_Noobie, there are supposed to be errors?
[04:53] <unavailable> mneptok can he apt-get remove envy --purge ?
[04:53] <Debian_Noobie> not generally
[04:53] <Debian_Noobie> but i got one last week with a bad hard drive
[04:53] <Debian_Noobie> ata 4 error
[04:53] <randal> would it work to reinstall ubuntu and do this tomaro ive been at this 8 hours
[04:53] <nickrud> reduz upgrades are only supported from one release to the next, like 7.04 to 7.10. Then upgrade to 8.04.
[04:53] <unavailable> randal i dont see why not
[04:53] <Debian_Noobie> which was the port it was plugged into at the time
[04:53] <randal> why not what
[04:53] <randal> tthats a good idea
[04:53] <unavailable> randal starting with a clean slate is always best
[04:53] <nickrud> reduz it's just too hard to cover all possible use cases over that big a change
[04:54] <randal> i got so much stuff i dont think i need installed
[04:54] <reduz> nickrud, ah maybe i meant 7.10, i'm sure i was up to date before hardy came out
[04:54] <randal> ok
[04:54] <Debian_Noobie> use the text based most for startup
[04:54] <mneptok> unavailable: ja, but it might not clean up its config mess on the way out the door
[04:54] <ReAn[Laptop]> i read somewhere that Ubuntu supported Active Directory, as in, i could add my machine to AD and log on as an AD Username, is this true?

[05:00] <jasonago> i have a slow net connection at home so I can't download some kde apps because kdelibs and dependencies are huge...what I'm doing right now is 1) install qemu on windows here at our office where net is very fast...2) install ubuntu virtually...3) download my packages...4) get the deb files on the /var/cache/apt/archives and save it on flash drive...5)transfer it to my pc...hahaha.......
[05:00] <spiritssight> nickrud: it says some thing about libpciaccess0
[05:00] <nickrud> spiritssight we'll get to that, first lets deal with the sources.list. Nothing will work the way it should until that is fixed
[05:00] <unavailable> jasonago well i pay for a 3mb line but get 30 mb
[05:00] <jasonago> note that I cant install ubuntu here so I'm installing it virtually...and secretly...
[05:01] <spiritssight> nickrud, the list thing is finished, I have edit and saved the file
[05:01] <Debian_Noobie> well now we all know
[05:01] <Debian_Noobie> your secret is exposed
[05:01] <nickrud> spiritssight ok, now run    sudo apt-get update , see if there are any errors

[05:02] <kcman> i am wondering if anyone knows of a driver package for my graphics card i cant seem to find one
[05:02] <unavailable> kcman if you would tell us your graphics card im sure something can be dug up
[05:02] <nickrud> spiritssight ok, get your mythbuntu disk, then with it not in the cdrom drive, run  sudo apt-cdrom add .  The drive will open, and then you put in the disk and close the drawer

[05:03] <magichere> hi,guys , How to driver HDMI audio with nvidia graphic card ?
[05:03] <Nihilam> Have a potentially silly question. When I upgraded from 6.06 to 8.04, my console/terminal (non-gui) began to display the ncurses colors incorrectly; to wit, far dimmer than they should (and do, under Konsole/KDE) appear. Can someone help me understand the discrepancy?
[05:03] <Debian_Noobie> check the ati site for a driver?
[05:03] <kcman> unavailable all that comes up in the conf is generic or some crap nothing labeled driver
[05:04] <unavailable> kcman  lspci | grep VGA
[05:04] <Debian_Noobie> nvidia had a driver for their cards
[05:04] <kcman> unavailable terminal those?
[05:04] <spiritssight> nickrud:  I have done that now
[05:04] <unavailable> kcman thats one terminal command
[05:04] <kcman> unavailable sorry i will do that now one second please
[05:04] <nickrud> spiritssight it should be scanning the drive, checking what packages are available on the disk.
[05:04] <unavailable> ok

[05:06] <Debian_Noobie> kill or term command just

[05:06] <bogeyman> ye u need sudo
[05:07] <bogeyman> but i still can write to it afterwards
[05:07] <Megaqwerty> bogeyman: post the output of: ls -l /etc/resolv.conf

[05:07] <unavailable> kcman http://sudan.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=7200
[05:07] <spiritssight> nickrud: done with that one
[05:07] <nickrud> spiritssight in this case, the -f means fix, that is, check for errors and fix any it found.
[05:08] <nickrud> spiritssight now, just for luck,   sudo dpkg --configure -a

[05:08] <nickrud> spiritssight that means configure -a (all) things that aren't completely configured correctly
[05:08] <spiritssight> nickrud: done with both of the last two
[05:09] <nickrud> spiritssight you should be good to go now.
[05:09] <Nihilam> Anyone have experience with the vga console mode?

[05:11] <Megaqwerty> bogeyman: I don't think it's possible to restrict root from doing anything...at least, I can't think of any way.
[05:11] <nickrud> spiritssight you ran   sudo apt-get upgrade ? If not, run that, and put the complete error up
[05:11] <Debian_Noobie> must be your jack on your pc
[05:11] <Megaqwerty> bogeyman: I guess you're going to actually find the root of the problem instead of hacking your way to a solution ;)
[05:12] <Debian_Noobie> could have it hooked up incorrectly
[05:12] <darksidedelayue> It is not the jack on my pc for it worked just fine when I had vista running
[05:12] <darksidedelayue> and laptop*

[05:12] <darksidedelayue> done
[05:12] <bogeyman> well i change my dns servers in that file and somehow ubuntu keeps changing em back after like 20 mins

[05:13] <Debian_Noobie> yours may be different
[05:13] <darksidedelayue> Debian, it is not a volume issue.
[05:14] <spiritssight> nickrud: you know this all started I think becuase I am trying to get my TV to work
[05:14] <bogeyman> it is set from there bc that file reads the resolv.conf
[05:14] <johny> is there anyone to help me out in installing  Network simulator in ubuntu
[05:14] <bogeyman> ive set it there many many times and after a certain its back to normal
[05:14] <nickrud> spiritssight that's probably because of your personal package archive entries in the sources.list. (xorg-edgers, that scares me just a little bit ;)
[05:14] <amirman> zchef2k: what happens exactly?
[05:14] <newb> hi all
[05:14] <spiritssight> I was told do that
[05:14] <davidrawson_> does anyone know how to use the cdrecord command in the terminal?
[05:15] <nickrud> spiritssight do  apt-cache policy xorg-server-core , and put the output on the pastebin
[05:15] <zchef2k> i can spawn it from the terminal, but it doesnt spwan again if the wm is reset
[05:15] <spiritssight> I don't have a clue, I just trying to get TV working :-)
[05:15] <newb> I'm new to ubuntu, and I need help
[05:15] <jbroome> davidrawson_: cdrecord -dao -eject -data <isofile>
[05:15] <johny> hi newb
[05:15] <newb> on how to change firewall policies using firestarter
[05:15] <johny> tell me what do u want to know
[05:15] <zchef2k> i set compiz --replace from the terminal and it survives the restart
[05:15] <davidrawson_> yea, but it keeps saying cannot open scsi driver
[05:15] <newb> hi johny
[05:16] <davidrawson_> jbroome, it keeps saying "Cannot open scsi driver"
[05:16] <spiritssight> nickrud: http://pastebin.com/d5d810857
[05:16] <davidrawson_> and i use scanbus
[05:16] <newb> I'm unable to add new policies using firestarter, the policies options (buttons) are all grayed out
[05:16] <zchef2k> i have found very little online regarding this
[05:16] <newb> How can I change that?
[05:16] <davidrawson_> does anyone know where ubuntu keeps all the documentation files?
[05:17] <jbroome> davidrawson_: /usr/share/doc/
[05:17] <nickrud> spiritssight sorry, brain fart.    apt-cache policy  xserver-xorg-core
[05:17] <johny> hey newn click on my name and chat with me
[05:17] <davidrawson_> thanks jbroome
[05:17] <johny> hey newb click on my name and chat with me
[05:17] <Flannel> johny: /join #ubuntu-offtopic for chatting, thanks.
[05:17] <Debian_Noobie> awsome
[05:18] <nickrud> davidrawson_ also, man <command> or man <configfile> often has a lot of useful documentation
[05:18] <spiritssight> nickrud: http://pastebin.com/d24cac88a
[05:19] <amirman> zchef2k: what i do is just add emerald --replace to my sessions, so that it starts up when i load up the system
[05:20] <zchef2k> amirman , lemme give a shot
[05:20] <spiritssight> nickrud: did you get the link?
[05:20] <amirman> zchef2k: wait i think i know what you mean, when you switch WMs it doesnt stay attached to compiz, so if you switch back to a simple WM and then back to compiz it makes you run emerald --replace again, is that right?
[05:20] <davidrawson_> are there any ubuntu applications capable of writing multisession discs?
[05:20] <davidrawson_> such as data/audio audio/data
[05:20] <Megaqwerty> davidrawson_: I believe k3b can
[05:21] <amirman> are there any applications for ubuntu that will let me compress dvd data prior to burning? i have a 7 GB iso but my disc drive will only do one layer.
[05:21] <nickrud> spiritssight quite possibly the archive is in an unstable state, that is, it's in the midst of being built and they are not all in sync yet. PPA's are not the most stable things in the world
[05:21] <zchef2k> amirman , right, but its really only kde at this point as im not using anything else, but no, its not staying connected
[05:21] <nickrud> spiritssight who told you to use the ppa?
[05:21] <amirman> zchef2k: i'm using gnome so i couldnt tell you for sure, sorry
[05:22] <davidrawson_> and i also need it to leave out a 16 byte sector for a bootloader
[05:22] <Reformer81> amirman: Look into DVD rippers... they can rip to any quality.
[05:22] <spiritssight> a person in the radeon IRC, he said he had not done it before but it may get the TV working
[05:22] <Reformer81> amirman: I'm afraid I don't remember the name of the one I used to use, but if you search the repos for a dvd ripper, you'll find one.
[05:22] <Megaqwerty> davidrawson_: I'm not sure how, but k3b is quite the powerhouse when it comes to disk burning
[05:22] <nickrud> spiritssight ah. Well.
[05:22] <unavailable> xchat : how do i make it so it opens a link by single left click
[05:22] <davidrawson_> cool
[05:22] <Megaqwerty> davidrawson_:  so you have a good chance of being able to do it.
[05:22] <davidrawson_> ok
[05:23] <mkquist> amirman: dvd95
[05:23] <davidrawson_> and for mounting iso files, i just need to use the mount command, right, no daemon tools
[05:23] <davidrawson_> ?
[05:23] <Flannel> !mount | davidrawson_
[05:23] <Flannel> er, sorry.
[05:23] <Flannel> !iso
[05:23] <davidrawson_> ok
[05:23] <davidrawson_> thank you guys
[05:23] <spiritssight> nickrud: could I PM you, could you help with geting TV working for a ATI (I know) radeon mobilie M52 x1300
[05:23] <pen> besides the widget factory, is there a gdm previewer for gnome?
[05:24] <nickrud> spiritssight You have a couple of options, one is easy, and may work, the second is very difficult unless you're really familiar with how packaging works. The first is simply waiting and hoping the archive stabilizes, the second is manually resetting packages.
[05:24] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: you there at all? mysqlcheck is telling me user "mythtv@localhost" is being denied access using password:YES) could this be the problem?
[05:24] <nickrud> spiritssight I've never used a tv out on an ati. No real clue how it's done
[05:24] <amirman> Reformer81: mkquist: thanks
[05:24] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: yes, absolutely
[05:25] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: thats why i was saying change the password for that user and update it in the backend settings etc
[05:25] <nickrud> spiritssight and if I may, you should be careful about using advice from someone who says they've never done it themselves
[05:25] <spiritssight> nickrud: the tv card is a wintv but it some thing with my DRM / xv that is not letting it work
[05:25] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: so how do I fix this, exactly? Thread I'm looking at says reinstall mysql?
[05:25] <spiritssight> learn and live :(
[05:26] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: or should I actually change the password in the file and in the settings?
[05:26] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: well u could do that, or u could just login to the mysql console as root and do it
[05:26] <nickrud> spiritssight how old is this install?
[05:26] <arooni_____> full screen mode on youtube doesnt work for me on ff3 on my ubuntu hardy desktop; although it works on my laptop.  it doesnt work because i hit full screen and it flashes to full screen for a second, then immediately exits.  i have a nvidia geforce 7300 glx grahpics card.  what should i do?
[05:26] <Lokz> hmmm I'm having problem connecting to my router to get an internet connection using eth0 on a ubuntu server (2008)... I've tried pretty much everything I know. Here have a look : http://paste.ubuntu.com/27393/ Did I miss something?
[05:26] <spiritssight> about 2 - 3 weeks
[05:26] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: and I do that... how? Sorry... I'm new at this :(
[05:26] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: I imagine that if u do mysql -u root on the command line it takes u straight to the mysql cli, unless u have set a root password yet
[05:27] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: not that new :P. On that now.
[05:27] <nickrud> spiritssight do you have /home on a separate partition? (and yes, I'm working around to suggesting a fresh install to fix this package mixture failure, if the ppa doesn't stabilize soon)
[05:27] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: errr access denied...
[05:27] <spiritssight> nickrud: its about 2-3 weeks old I came over from windows, once I get this thing running then I will try and understand it more, my gf wants to watch TV and use composit connect fro video phone
[05:27] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: maybe I am that new?
[05:27] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: ok, so now u need to update the password for the user mythtv@localhost
[05:27] <ReAn[Laptop]> how do i restart ntpdate? the guide im using sais /etc/init.d/ntpdate restart but there's no ntpdate there
[05:28] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: root used password:NO
[05:28] <nickrud> spiritssight all things I've never done, so have no advise to offer
[05:28] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: so what do I do?
[05:28] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage:  UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('password') WHERE User='mythtv@localhost'
[05:28] <madrazr> I created 2 logical volumes in a volume group yesterday, each with capacity 60 GiB and added the corresponding lines to /etc/fstab, but it always mounts with write and execute permissions to root, can someone help me?
[05:28] <newb> Firestarter policy buttons (add, remove, edit) are all grayed out. Does someone now how to change that?
[05:28] <Flannel> ReAn[Laptop]: Are you using ntpd or ntpdate?  its likely /etc/init.d/ntpd  or ntp-server instead
[05:28] <pen> besides the widget factory, is there a gdm previewer for gnome?
[05:28] <spiritssight> nickrud: I don't have /home on its on part
[05:29] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: all that in the terminal?
[05:29] <spiritssight> nickrud: I don't have much on the system any how
[05:29] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage:  in the mysql cli, and u need to substitute the password that u want
[05:29] <samalex> hi everyone ...
[05:29] <ReAn[Laptop]> Flannel: there's only 2 items in /etc/init.d that start with n: networking and nvidia-kernel
[05:29] <Prez00> i am running hardy and just compiled 2.6.25 kernel, and sometimes it boots up to a black screen instead of X login screen.  I can ctrl-alt-f1 and in the dark can reboot machine, so it is running... after I restart machine it'll sometimes come to regular graphical login and everything normal.  happened as well with other custom kernel, any ideas what modules I should look for that might cause this intermittent failure?
[05:29] <ReAn[Laptop]> and i do have ntpdate installed
[05:29] <kcman> unavailable could do any of this page for my graphics card hurt my gnome?
[05:29] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: DO I replace PASSWORD or ('Password')?
[05:30] <Prez00> sorry, i meant i just compiled 2.6.26
[05:30] <Flannel> ReAn[Laptop]: You're using ntpdate instead of ntpd then.  That's a cronjob instead of a daemon (ntpdate is the one that changes it in one go, instead of incrementally fixing the time like ntpd)
[05:30] <newb> Firestarter policy buttons (add, remove, edit) are all grayed out. Does someone now how to change that?  if you have the answer PLZ IM me!
[05:30] <nickrud> spiritssight I'd back up home, use !clone instructions (I'll give them to you in a sec, it simplifies getting back your package selection, and no, it won't look for the ppa ;)
[05:30] <nickrud> !clone | spiritssight
[05:30] <MasterShrek> Prez00, the ubuntu kernel has patches from the vanilla kernel (which im assuming is where you got 2.6.26 from) i dont know if things act very nice when the patches arent there
[05:31] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost:?
[05:31] <ReAn[Laptop]> Flannel: I only care cuz im working on getting my computer working with AD, the guide im using asks me to restart the service... and when i try to auth w/ my AD it sais im out of sync, so it hasn't responded to my changes
[05:31] <MasterShrek> Prez00, i mean it is a patched version of the regular kernel
[05:31] <bogeyman> YAY

[05:32] <Megaqwerty> bogeyman: also, I think it was DHCP that was replacing those entries just fyi.
[05:32] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: with anything or with the password that's already set by MythTV?
[05:32] <spiritssight> I don't have much stuff on here, I don't care about installing again, its the drivers for the wintv and my video that I am have so much trouble with
[05:32] <Flannel> ReAn[Laptop]: You can use ntpd instead, which I recommend: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/NTP.html  that also covers ntpdate as well
[05:32] <bogeyman> lol it was getting on my nerves
[05:32] <bogeyman> like every 20 mins it would reset
[05:32] <Prez00> MasterShrek: got it..hmmm, will try and find those patches, but seems to me to be a video driver issue, maybe i am just missing something in my custom config..
[05:32] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: either choose one, or use the same one that is show in mythtv backend settings
[05:32] <spiritssight> I need to get the TV running then the rest can take time but the TV need to be able to run
[05:32] <unavailable> dcman wat was the link again ? i lost it
[05:33] <unavailable> kcman wat was the link again ? i lost it
[05:33] <MasterShrek> Prez00, is there a specific reason you dont want to use the ubuntu kernel? you could custom compile the already patched kernel that you should have
[05:33] <bogeyman> ty for everything peace guys gl
[05:33] <Megaqwerty> bogeyman: happy to help. Have a good night/day (depending on where you are on earth)
[05:33] <nickrud> spiritssight no advice on the tv, sorry. Maybe someone else who's actually done it will pas through.

[05:36] <MasterShrek> Xavura, if you keep things to one line it helps quite a bit
[05:36] <Megaqwerty> Xavura: we're crazily fast thinkers.
[05:36] <nickrud> Xavura by asking all on one line, makes it easier for someone to track
[05:36] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: do u run this as a webserver also?
[05:36] <Xavura> MasterShrek: I'l rewrite it on one line and better
[05:37] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: Run what? This computer? No I don't believe so.
[05:37] <Xavura> I have a USB device where you plug it into your PC then you can plug a compontent (A/V) cable into it, I used to use it on Windows to record from my Xbox 360 to my PC. I need some software that can record from it... and maybe drivers too?

[05:37] <davidrawson_> how do you burn raw files
[05:38] <davidrawson_> such as audio.raw as an audio session
[05:38] <Reformer81> davidrawson_: What do you mean by raw?
[05:38] <Reformer81> ah.
[05:38] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: ok apt-get install mysql-admin
[05:38] <nickrud> unavailable that's really old instructions ...
[05:38] <Reformer81> davidrawson_: You may need to open it in Audacity and convert it to .WAV or .MP3 first.
[05:38] <MasterShrek> Lokz, any reason you dont want to use dhcp?
[05:38] <unavailable> nickrud you have any offers of advice?
[05:38] <Lokz> it's not installed

[05:39] <MasterShrek> Lokz, you never installed a dhcp client?
[05:39] <Lokz> not on this server
[05:39] <kcman> unavailable did i ask the winning question of the night
[05:39] <MasterShrek> davidrawson_, the only reason i bought one :)
[05:39] <Xavura> Would I be ok to ask my question in #ubuntuforums and/or #ubuntu-offtopic? There's a chance that someone in there has the drivers and/or software I need
[05:40] <Xavura> or should I just keep trying here
[05:40] <unavailable> kcman rofl
[05:40] <davidrawson_> i need to create an audio session of silence, like a blank audio session, and then i create an iso file which i burn afterwards
[05:40] <Lokz> MasterShrek: unless it comes with the standard installation of the ubuntu server... but i don't have the dhcpcd
[05:40] <MasterShrek> Lokz, dhclient
[05:40] <nickrud> Xavura -offtopic no, #ubuntuforums maybe. Wired connection?
[05:40] <Lokz> MasterShrek: I did, check the link
[05:40] <reduz> Actually, i think i have figured out what's going on with my ubuntu, high disk activity makes the system crawl
[05:40] <Xavura> Nick__: What do you mean by wired connection?
[05:40] <reduz> as if disk dma isn't enabled
[05:40] <Xavura> nickrud: *
[05:40] <Lokz> MasterShrek: seems like something on the <IP_ADDRESS> is fucking up
[05:40] <nickrud> Xavura not wireless
[05:40] <Xavura> The device?
[05:41] <reduz> may it be that DMA hard disk transfers may have been disabled for some reason?
[05:41] <Lokz> MasterShrek: I believe a misconfiguration of something in my ubuntu box
[05:41] <reduz> i latest ubuntu
[05:41] <Reformer81> !language | Lokz
[05:41] <nickrud> Xavura the connection to the router, is it by wire or wireless
[05:41] <MasterShrek> Lokz, i doubt you want your subnet to be <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:41] <davidrawson_> cdrecord dev=0,6,0 -multi -audio audio.raw
[05:41] <davidrawson_> it freaks out
[05:41] <davidrawson_> when i type that
[05:41] <Xavura> Ah, nickrud, wired, but I don't care about that, I am here for something else
[05:41] <nickrud> Xavura ah, wrong nick, I bet
[05:41] <MasterShrek> Lokz, nvm its <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:41] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: installed
[05:41] <Lokz> MasterShrek: it's not ... it's set to .0 yea, and what about the language?
[05:41] <tofaffy|lappy> @ping
[05:41] <Xavura>  I have a USB device where you plug it into your PC then you can plug a compontent (A/V) cable into it, I used to use it on Windows to record from my Xbox 360 to my PC. I need some software that can record from it... and maybe drivers too?
[05:42] <MasterShrek> Lokz, about the language, try to keep it family friendly here :)
[05:42] <Lokz> ahh the f**k, sorry
[05:42] <davidrawson_> when i type "cdrecord dev=1,0,0 -multi -audio audio.raw" which is one of the instructions, it starts doing this repeating thing
[05:42] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: run it
[05:42] <banisterfiend> kernel_ghost: tell me how to install alsa on ubuntu plz
[05:42] <Demios> ok so i'm looking at this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766560&highlight=BCM4318 problem is the computer cannot connect to the internet at all since the wifi card is the only card, is there anyway i could get all these apps and files on a cd? if so, what are the directions after i do that?
[05:42] <MasterShrek> Lokz, using a wifi card? apple airport?
[05:43] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: what now?
[05:43] <Lokz> MasterShrek: using a direct wired ethernet cable, plugged into an apple airport extrem
[05:43] <kernel_ghost> banisterfiend:  alsa should be installed by default
[05:43] <LSD|Ninja> Demios: you can't hook it up to a wired lan at all, not even temporarily?
[05:43] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage:  ok use that interface to update the password for the mythtv user
[05:43] <Demios> LSD|Ninja: not at all
[05:43] <grrrrrrrrreg> hey can somebody help me get my printer going .... ubuntu seems to recognise it but the printer wont respond ... anybody?
[05:43] <banisterfiend> kernel_ghost: but i thinks it's running OSS, how do i check?
[05:43] <Lokz> MasterShrek: using the rj45 ethernet
[05:43] <MasterShrek> hmm
[05:43] <unavailable> kcman found this http://ati.amd.com/developer/altoschart.pdf
[05:43] <snarkster> no one wants their subnet to be <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:44] <Lokz> MasterShrek: ping to gateway works... just doesnt go out of the network range (aka google.ping doesnt work)
[05:44] <MasterShrek> Lokz, do: sudo ifconfig eth0 down     then     sudo ifconfig eth0 up    then    sudo dhclient eth0
[05:44] <MasterShrek> ah
[05:44] <kernel_ghost> banisterfiend: if ur using gnome u should be able to see from the mixer applet
[05:44] <MasterShrek> Lokz, other machines can get out though im assuming
[05:44] <Lokz> MasterShrek: correct
[05:44] <tech0007> davidrawson_: did u try 'genisomage' ?
[05:44] <LSD|Ninja> Demios: is replacing the wifi an option? The Intel 3945s are supported OOB :P
[05:44] <grrrrrrrrreg> does anyone know a channel that might be able to help with a printer problem?
[05:44] <reduz> i don't get sdparam, give me back my hdparam :9
[05:45] <davidrawson_> tech0007, it says command not found
[05:45] <Demios> LSD|Ninja: I promised her that it would not cost her a thing, there has to be a way i can sudo from a cd
[05:45] <madrazr> I created 2 logical volumes in a volume group yesterday, each with capacity 60 GiB and added the corresponding lines to /etc/fstab, but it always mounts with write and execute permissions to root, can someone help me?
[05:45] <_rafa_> hey guys
[05:45] <banisterfiend> kernel_ghost: how do i run the mixer applet
[05:45] <MasterShrek> sorry Lokz, a little over my head, try #networking
[05:45] <tech0007> davidrawson_: u want to convert a raw file to iso, ryt?
[05:45] <Lokz> MasterShrek: kk thanks for trying, I appreciate :)
[05:45] <davidrawson_> and burn it as a single session i guess
[05:46] <Flannel> madrazr: What options did you give it in your fstab?
[05:46] <_rafa_> can someone help me install a package from source? i keep getting stuck at the ./configure step, it says it does not exist
[05:46] <LSD|Ninja> Demios: Those Broadcoms need proprietary firmware. The easiest way to get it is to hook the machine up to a wired lan and use teh hardware drivers panel
[05:46] <tech0007> davidrawson_: 'sudo apt-get install genisoimage'
[05:46] <davidrawson_> i want two sessions, a blank audio session, and the data session
[05:46] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: denied =/
[05:46] <noname91> hey can somebody help me set up my printer: when i plug it in (usb) ubuntu automatically sets it up and says it is ready for printing... but when i print something there is no response ... the printer is an Epson Stylus C45
[05:46] <pvl1> _rafa_: did u cd to the dir?
[05:46] <MasterShrek> _rafa_, what are you compiling?
[05:46] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage: what was denied
[05:46] <madrazr> Flannel: /dev/data/mach  /media/mach   ext3  defaults 0        1
[05:46] <_rafa_> yes
[05:46] <davidrawson_> but that makes sense
[05:46] <madrazr> just defaults
[05:46] <_rafa_> Phun
[05:46] <kernel_ghost> banisterfiend: http://seehuhn.de/pages/alsa
[05:46] <_rafa_> http://www.phun.at/
[05:47] <pvl1> _rafa_: if you type ls does configure come up
[05:47] <unavailable> kcman and this page should be helpful if you get any more ati cards  lol http://www.linux.com/base/ldp/howto/Hardware-HOWTO/video.html
[05:47] <Demios> LSD|Ninja: i've tried but this guide, which i cannot use because i cannot connect to anything wired
[05:47] <madrazr> Flannel: I have one more volume group which I had created very long back, for that also I have given the same options
[05:47] <davidrawson_> tech0007, i have it
[05:47] <MasterShrek> _rafa_, have you installed build-essential ?
[05:47] <LSD|Ninja> Demios: really though, replacing it entirely is the best long-term option. Even when they work, they're really bad
[05:47] <madrazr> Flannel: but its working fine, but its a 30 GiB one
[05:47] <davidrawson_> tech0007, what should i do now, i have my raw file here
[05:47] <Fezzler> compiz and nvidia  UGH!  doesn't work in Hardy
[05:47] <_rafa_> no it doesnt show up
[05:47] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: the connection to localhost
[05:47] <Demios> LSD|Ninja: i am aware of that.
[05:47] <grrrrrrrrreg> hey can somebody help me get my printer going .... ubuntu seems to recognise it but the printer wont respond ... anybody?
[05:47] <Flannel> madrazr: defaults is fine, yes.  What are the permissions on the mountpoint youre mounting to?
[05:47] <MasterShrek> _rafa_, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[05:47] <Logrusmage> kernel_ghost: it pings fine
[05:48] <pvl1> _rafa_: skip to make then
[05:48] <_rafa_> MasterShrek: build essentials?
[05:48] <ReAn[Laptop]> so ubuntu seems to install without setting a root password (or asking for one at least) the sudo seems to work through the user's password... however, here i am with a prompt asking for the root password... and im stumped because i do not know my own password due to the way ubuntu installs itself, anyone care to explain why?
[05:48] <banisterfiend> kernel_ghost: yes it is running alsa...hmm...so i have a problem...when i run the sound in my game (written in ruby/gosu) it says 'error initialzing output device' but when i turn the applications that use sound OFF, and then re-run my game, it works fine....any idae?
[05:48] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage:  what user did u specify
[05:48] <Xavura> GUYS (and girls?) I found a tutorial to get my thing working, but I'm not sure how to follow it exactly, anyone fancy helping for 10 mins to walk me through it?
[05:48] <kuhyoubical> Using secure-delete can i delete a directory or is it just 1 file at a time?
[05:48] <_rafa_> pvl1: tried that to, epic fail
[05:48] <pvl1> MasterShrek: he says configure isnt in the dir from ls
[05:48] <Xavura> It's not exactly a tutorial, more a set of loose instructions
[05:48] <madrazr> Flannel: Oh! wait let me see
[05:48] <pvl1> _rafa_: o hm, follow MasterShrek then i guess
[05:48] <davidrawson_> tech0007, what now?
[05:49] <Flannel> ReAn[Laptop]: There is no root password.  The root account is locked.  What have you done to get a prompt for the root password?
[05:49] <pvl1> Xavura: what are u trying to do?
[05:49] <madrazr> Flannel: drwxr-xr-x  4 root root 4096 2008-07-15 02:19 mach
[05:49] <kuhyoubical> with the srm command can i delete a directory or just files
[05:49] <banisterfiend> kernel_ghost: i was told it was because of OSS and 'one sound at one time' thing, but it turns out i am running alsa...not oss, so what's the deal?
[05:49] <tech0007> davidrawson_: move all your raw files you want to a temp dir, then do 'genisoimage -o cd.iso dir'
[05:49] <_rafa_> MasterShrek: build essential was already installed
[05:49] <kernel_ghost> Logrusmage:  lets make it super easy and actually create a new user that mythtv can use on the mysql cli
