[06:07] <__mikem> ompaul did you just ban him lol?
[06:07] <ompaul> no muted
[06:07] <apokryphos> which is a ban ;-)
[06:07] <__mikem> lmao, ok, wow you can't imagine how funny that is
[06:08] <iNiku> ompaul: I hope there's a history behind that... seems kinda harsh otherwise :)
[06:08] <krazykit> Sivik: how do you know i didn't just drop the connection and then reconnect without me being here?
[06:08] <__mikem> I mean, what kind of idiot asks that kind of question
[06:08] <jahshua> NthDegree cool thanks for the tip.  :)
[06:08] <__mikem> iNiku, there is
[06:08] <__mikem> don't worry
[06:08] <Sivik> krazykit, i had a feeling that it was you, and not just a reconnect
[06:08] <iNiku> hehe, okay. I figured so.
[06:08] <chmod775> folks any one can help me
[06:09] <__mikem> DEpends on what you need help with
[06:09] <__mikem> but we will try
[06:09] <zOap> is there a tweakubuntu page avilable? I'm trying to get it to be more "light" gui tweaks and so on
[06:09] <neutrinomass> __mikem: Well, if I was a total noob and saw references to that command, I would ask too - you need to learn somehow .
[06:09] <Sivik> krazykit, i was talking to you yesterday about e17 right
[06:09] <krazykit> Sivik: ah, right.
[06:09] <chmod775> I switch between two networks all the time, for eg my office and home, but each and very time I have to change my DNS settings is there a tool which can help, my networks are in wireless and cable
[06:10] <chmod775> this is the one __mikem
[06:10] <ompaul> neutrinomass, try getting upstream to take that patch
[06:10] <chmod775> I typed it but no one answered to it
[06:10] <Sivik> krazykit, i tried what you showed me late last night, and it still didn't work
[06:10] <Dr_Willis> neutrinomass,  make a script/alias - if that worried about it. :)
[06:10] <krazykit> neutrinomass: what, removing forcibly recursively the root of the drive?
[06:10] <__mikem> Are the networks in different domains
[06:10] <ipfw> anyone in here use opera ?
[06:11] <chmod775> __mikem: yes I have to change the DNS settings all the time
[06:11] <krazykit> Sivik: maybe wdm stores its config elsewhere?  i'd think it'd be in /usr/share/xsessions/ though...
[06:11] <neutrinomass> ompaul: Even if they would object, which I don't really think so, still it could be an Ubuntu patch. That command is of no practical use anyway ....
[06:11] <__mikem> When you are potentially in the pressence of newbies, mentioning such dangerous commands is always a bad idea
[06:11] <neutrinomass> krazykit: yes ;)
[06:11] <Sivik> its there
[06:11] <__mikem> chmod775 hold on, let me check something
[06:11] <Sivik> krazykit, it is, i added e17.desktop
[06:11] <Scorpmoon> on another computer google earth suggests to install to /usr/local/google-earth , but on this computer it suggests /home/scorpmoon/google-earth
[06:11] <Scorpmoon> which is a better solution
[06:11] <chmod775> __mikem: thank you so much
[06:11] <deloreandmc> does anyone know what version of X dapper uses?
[06:12] <krazykit> Sivik: um, and wdm sees the other .desktop files in there?
[06:12] <Sivik> krazykit, yes
[06:12] <neutrinomass> Dr_Willis: I'm not worried about it, but a number of people have deleted their stuff by trying to delete "/ tmp" for example... let alone those who saw it and tried it to see what happens + the people that have been tricked into it with shell code ...
[06:12] <__mikem> ok chmod775 go to system>administration>networking
[06:12] <Sivik> krazykit, blackbox, egnome, enlightenment (16), ekde
[06:12] <Sivik> but not e17
[06:12] <Dr_Willis> Scorpmoon,  i put in my home dir.. since im the only user
[06:12] <krazykit> Sivik: oh, then check the permissions on the other .desktop files and e17.desktop, make sure they're the same
[06:12] <__mikem> you will be prompted for YOUR password, that is to say NOT the root password
[06:12] <chmod775> Ok hang on __mikem
[06:12] <void^> neutrinomass: some shells like zsh check for common typos and warn in such cases
[06:13] <MisterLeebee> yo!
[06:13] <chmod775> __mikem: ok
[06:13] <chmod775> done
[06:13] <__mikem> you should have a window with 4 tabs
[06:13] <__mikem> go to the one that says dns
[06:13] <chmod775> __mikem: yup
[06:13] <chmod775> k
[06:13] <__mikem> you can add multiple dns servers to that list
[06:13] <neutrinomass> void^: Which is a very good idea. But bash doesn't ... :(
[06:13] <MisterLeebee> can any one assist me in trying to sort out my creative zen touch player in ubuntu?, I have gnomad 2 but it wont connect
[06:13] <__mikem> that should solve your problem
[06:13] <chmod775> __mikem: ok
[06:14] <chmod775> __mikem: ok so it should work
[06:14] <chmod775> right ?
[06:14] <void^> neutrinomass: zsh with completion addons eats twice the amount of ram as bash, though :]
[06:14] <yoshiznit123> hi, does anybody know where (ie in which package in launchpad) i should file a bug regarding dependency problems?
[06:14] <__mikem> I don't see why it wouldn't
[06:14] <neutrinomass> It could be an issue in a chroot, where you might under rare circumstances want to delete root, but then again, you would just have to say "yes" to the warning.... it breaks the force option, but I don't think people will mind ...
[06:14] <Geev8> hellow who know dd command i need help
[06:14] <__mikem> It will use that list of IP addresses as a search path
[06:14] <RadiantFire> neutrinomass: have I mentioned how hardcore you are?
[06:14] <deloreandmc> does anyone know what version of X dapper uses?
[06:14] <yoshiznit123> geev, what do u need dd for?
[06:14] <Sivik> krazykit, it may be looking in the wrong area for the exec, i'm going to see if i can find the right location
[06:15] <chmod775> __mikem: I am facing one more problem with xine, it just disappears when I try to play a VCD
[06:15] <neutrinomass> RadiantFire: hardcore ?
[06:15] <MisterLeebee> n e one with gnomad 2 help?
[06:15] <RadiantFire> i always see you talking heavy stuff ;-)
[06:15] <krazykit> Sivik: it shouldn't matter, really.  the .desktop should show up as an option regardless of whether the path is right.
[06:15] <__mikem> I never got the point of VCDs, I would just convert the vcds to dvd
[06:15] <neutrinomass> OK, it could be a warning, not a prompt. "This will mess up your system' and wait 5 seconds before doing anything :)
[06:15] <neutrinomass> RadiantFire: Thanks for the compliment :)
[06:15] <__mikem> but you could try dpkg-reconfigure xine
[06:15] <iNiku> h3sp4wn: hmm, just tried blacklisting the madwifi stuff and loading the -ng modules manually but it's not working
[06:15] <chmod775> !pastebin
[06:15] <ubotu> Please do not flood the channel http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ for pasting long texts it does not disrupt the channel. [webboard for Ubuntu: http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1269 : not an offical package] .
[06:15] <iNiku> h3sp4wn: the interface doesn't show up at all
[06:16] <Geev8> i want to run this  "dd if=disk1.img of=/dev/fd0" but it says no such file
[06:16] <Gullstad> is there a program that could sync iPods for  linux?
[06:16] <iNiku> h3sp4wn: have you been able to use the -ng modules that come with ubuntu?
[06:16] <Samus_Aran> qos: your path on that pastebin seems backward.  you don't generally ever want to put other directories before /bin and /sbin in the path, as that can end up making your system unusable if anything is set wrong
[06:16] <deloreandmc> does anyone know what version of X dapper uses?
[06:16] <yoshiznit123> geev, do u have the disk1.img in the directory ur  running it from?
[06:16] <chmod775> __mikem: I am getting this error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15861
[06:16] <Sivik> krazykit, this is what i have for two of the .desktop files http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15862
[06:16] <Samus_Aran> it's also a security risk, as the default commands like "ls" or "bash" can then be overridden by files in any of those other dirs

[06:17] <Geev8> it is on a folder
[06:17] <__mikem> chmod775 thats a dependency error, you don't have all the library files you need
[06:17] <h3sp4wn> iNiku: No I am trying to setup my ubuntu server with madwifi-ng (its running the standard kernel at the moment) (because hostapd in ubuntu is compiled against madwifi-ng)
[06:17] <yoshiznit123> geev, u'll have to do something like this: dd if=path/to/disk1.img of=/dev/fd0
[06:17] <chmod775> __mikem: Oh! what package should I install
[06:17] <Morrowyn> hi, when i insert a blank dvd+r in my dvdburner and drag the file si wanna burn in to the cd/dvd creator and press write to disc and select my burner, it keeps on nagging me that i need to insert a blank disc, when i check my desktop, it says that a blank dvd+r disc is in the drive, any ideas?
[06:17] <Iam8up> if i stick in a kubuntu 6.06 live cd into the drive and boot off of it, can i do a 'mount -t ntfs -o uid=1000 /dev/hda1 /mnt/pnt' and will it have both read AND write access?
[06:17] <krazykit> Sivik: the e17.desktop file should have ONLY lines 18-24 in that pastebin
[06:18] <Sivik> ok
[06:18] <Sivik> not the comment?
[06:18] <krazykit> nope
[06:18] <Sivik> krazykit, ok
[06:18] <__mikem> chmod775, I really don't know, sorry
[06:18] <iNiku> h3sp4wn: looks like the ubuntu -ng modules are not working at all for some reason
[06:18] <chmod775> These are all I have related to xine
[06:18] <chmod775> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15863
[06:18] <chmod775> can you please have a look at it ?
[06:19] <Sivik> krazykit, let me go try that
[06:19] <ic56> lam8up: I think the NTFS driver is in there, so this should work.  However, that driver will likely corrupt your filesystem.  Use it readonly.  If you need to use a filesystem as an intermediary to exchange data with Windows, use a FAT filesystem.
[06:19] <__mikem> chmod775, you could try to apt-cache search for vcd
[06:19] <neutrinomass> chmod775: Not sure exactly what it is.... did you upgrade from breezy ?
[06:19] <Morrowyn> nvm, my bad, size was too large :P
[06:19] <chmod775> nope neutrinomass I did a fresh install from the CD
[06:20] <neutrinomass> chmod775: x86? This is weird ...
[06:20] <chmod775> yup x86
[06:20] <__mikem> neutrinomass, does that library come by default with dapper, or is it supposed to?
[06:20] <Cntryboy> Does anyone know why when I choose 1024x768 with in the unreal tournament game it closes the game and sends me back to desktop with 640x480 resolution? with in the game 800x600 works fine.
[06:20] <yoshiznit123> iam8up,you might also want to look at the fuse module if you want write access to ntfs
[06:20] <Iam8up> ic56 - my name begins with an i =) the poitn of me mounting it here, i want to remove one little dll files which is infected with a trojan
[06:21] <Iam8up> well it's got to be a live cd...i'm not going to be using ntfs for more then a moment
[06:21] <neutrinomass> chmod775: File a bug. It could be a build issue in some of the libraries.... :-/
[06:21] <Cntryboy> It's acting like my card or monitor one can't handle it
[06:21] <Geev8> yoshiznit123: i did it but still it report the some
[06:21] <chmod775> oh ok neutrinomass
[06:21] <__mikem> neutrinomass, is that library file supposed to come with dapper by default?
[06:21] <krazykit> Iam8up: if you have another windows machine, you could try to make a bartpe disc and use that to remove the infected dll.
[06:21] <neutrinomass> __mikem: No idae, I'm not sure about xine stuff...
[06:21] <yoshiznit123> geev, if it says file not found then it means the path to img is wrong
[06:22] <ic56> Iam8up: it's not the frequency of the operations that cause the trouble.  Why not use your Windows boot CD instead?
[06:22] <__mikem> neither am I, but dependency errors are prety trivial to spot
[06:22] <Iam8up> krazykit - is it very simple to make a bartpe disk?
[06:22] <Iam8up> ic56 - windows boot cd..for what..?
[06:22] <yoshiznit123> iam8up, just to let you know i've been using read/write ntfs from linux and haven't had corruption or anything...
[06:22] <Iam8up> yoshiznit123 - i know =) i've heard both ends of the story
[06:23] <Geev8> yoshiznit123: or what it mean with dd command "dd if=disk1.img of=/dev/fd0"
[06:23] <krazykit> Iam8up: dunno, i've never done it.  i know some people who have, so i bet it's not beyond the average user.
[06:23] <Iam8up> i'm pretty sure chkdsk would fix any problems anyways
[06:23] <Gullstad> is there a program that could sync iPods for  linux?
[06:23] <Sivik> krazykit, ok, there are 7 files in the xsession folder, but only 4 of them show up
[06:23] <yoshiznit123> geev, it writes the disk1.img file directly to a floppy
[06:23] <yoshiznit123> do u have a floppy in the drive?
[06:23] <yoshiznit123> lol
[06:23] <Sivik> krazykit, the 3 that aren't there are the e17, e-gnome, and e-kde
[06:23] <Cntryboy> anyone?
[06:23] <Sivik> Cntryboy, what did you break today?
[06:23] <walkover> hey does anybody remeber how to check the hdd transfer rate in linux
[06:24] <walkover> its something like "xx -xx"
[06:24] <Geev8> yoshiznit123: yes i have and it is mounted
[06:24] <Shaezsche> how is installing ubuntu and THEN installing the KDE-kubuntu desktop package different from just installing Kubuntu?
[06:24] <Cntryboy> Sivik LOL, nothing. I didn't break nothing last night the other dude told me wrong information..
[06:24] <ic56> Iam8up: Windows boot CD to go into the recovery console and delete the infected file.  yoshiznit123 seems to be confident with the NTFS drivers.  I am not.  I've lost data.
[06:24] <brandon_> i'm getting an error when i try to tar a backup of my home directory. the problem is that the error is not verbose enough that i can do anything about it. is there a log somewhere that would contain a lengthier description of what's happening? i already tried /var/log/message
[06:24] <yoshiznit123> geev: maybe unmount it
[06:24] <Sivik> Cntryboy, that sucks
[06:24] <Geev8> yoshiznit123: ok let me do it
[06:24] <walkover> anyone?
[06:24] <NoUse> Shaezsche kubuntu doesn't include any gnome packages by default
[06:24] <jrib> Shaezsche: you will have gnome and kde instead of just kde
[06:24] <Cntryboy> Does anyone know why when I choose 1024x768 with in the unreal tournament game it closes the game and sends me back to desktop with 640x480 resolution? with in the game 800x600 works fine.
[06:24] <Cntryboy> It's acting like my card or monitor one can't handle it
[06:24] <Cntryboy> Sivik thats what I wanna know
[06:24] <Shaezsche> will it boot slower?
[06:24] <Iam8up> ic56 - wouldn't the recovery console encoutner the same permission problems? i believe this is an NTFS issue, which is why i was lookin towards linux
[06:25] <Shaezsche> i dont like that ubuntu's menus pause to load
[06:25] <Sivik> krazykit, what am i doing wrong that causes those to not to show up during the login?
[06:25] <Sivik> Cntryboy, not sure how to help you, just don't play it in 1024X768
[06:25] <neutrinomass> __mikem: Any idea as to what package that belongs ?
[06:25] <ic56> Ima8up: anyway, if you do go the Linux way, you need some additional mount flags: fmask=0111,dmask=0000
[06:25] <NoUse> Shaezsche it shouldn't boot slower
[06:25] <Cntryboy> even in 800x600 the game is laggy
[06:25] <Cntryboy> in windows it plays fine
[06:25] <__mikem> Fraid not
[06:25] <ic56> Iam8up: What permission problems would the Windows recovery console encounter?!
[06:25] <yoshiznit123> ic56, can u even boot into windows?
[06:26] <yoshiznit123> sorry, iam8up :-)
[06:26] <Iam8up> ic56 - no clue, never used it
[06:26] <Cntryboy> is there a server for linux and games I can go search help for
[06:26] <walkover> hey does anybody remeber how to check the hdd transfer rate in linux
[06:26] <__mikem> It would be nice if there was a way to specify a file in some kind of search engine and have it give youthe name of the package it belongs to
[06:26] <bockman> hello, i just booted my ubuntu machine and it says "Failed to initalize HAL". how do i fix that?
[06:26] <Shaezsche> does anyone know why ubuntu's menus often pause when you navigate them?
[06:26] <Cntryboy> like quake.net or something?
[06:26] <Cntryboy> that irc server
[06:26] <Shaezsche> momentarily freezes for a second
[06:26] <ic56> yoshiznit123: what are you talking about?
[06:26] <Iam8up> yoshiznit123 - yes, it boots to windows - mcafee keeps complaining of a trojan in a dll file in the system32 folder that's definetly not a windows file
[06:26] <yoshiznit123> shaezsche, i think its a know bug
[06:26] <Shaezsche> yosh is it hard to fix?
[06:26] <paxl> Can somone help me. I'm trying to install ubunutu 6.06 but I'm having trouble.. The cd stop and run at 1x
[06:26] <NthDegree> bockman that is the HAL service failing, it shouldn't be critical
[06:26] <yoshiznit123> shaezshce, i don't think they know of any
[06:27] <Shaezsche> thats the only reason i prefer kubuntu atm
[06:27] <Shaezsche> that stupid bug
[06:27] <bockman> NthDegree, it is, i can't load my gnome menu, or use my usb key
[06:27] <Sivik> krazykit, are you still around?
[06:27] <Geev8> yoshiznit123: i want to put BasicLinux on the floppies but directory that contain disk1.img is in zip directory
[06:27] <yoshiznit123> iam8up: whats the problem with deleting the dll from the command line?
[06:27] <ic56> Iam8up: hang on, I put something in ubotu a while back about windows recovery console
[06:27] <krazykit> Sivik: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15864  does your e17.desktop file look like that?  no comments, just the [stuff]
[06:27] <Iam8up> yoshiznit123 - it says it's not allowed
[06:27] <Schamane_> hi
[06:27] <valehru> hey guys
[06:27] <NthDegree> bockman HAL is to detect extra devices like USB drives, printers etc. so it shouldn't be critical to system function
[06:28] <dankmiser> question: ubuntu dd, azureus - I am unable to click on warning messages in the right corner of my screen, help!!
[06:28] <yoshiznit123> geev, so the path to disk1.img is zip/disk1.img?
[06:28] <Geev8> yoshiznit123: yes
[06:28] <Shaezsche> will update-dist update my ubuntu kernel too?
[06:28] <ic56> !fixmbr
[06:28] <bockman> NthDegree, well, this is a new error, and now when i open my gnome menu my entire input system (keyboard, mouse, etc.) fails to function. i'd call that critical, personally
[06:28] <Sivik> krazykit, yes
[06:28] <jaro> Hi all
[06:28] <blanky> chris_ are you here?
[06:28] <bockman> how do i fix this
[06:28] <yoshiznit123> geev and you did dd if=zip/disk.img of=/dev/fd0?
[06:28] <valehru> Is gftp considered stable on dapper x64?  It keeps crashing on me for seemingly no reason during a transfer.....is there any other graphical ftp clients out there that you would recommend?
[06:28] <jaro> can someonebody help me solve an issue with USB ???
[06:28] <Sivik> krazykit, i got the e17.desktop file options from you yesterday
[06:28] <NthDegree> bockman you tried a reinstall, and what filesystem you using?
[06:29] <jaro> can someonebody help me solve an issue with USB ???
[06:29] <yoshiznit123> geev, thats weird, it should work
[06:29] <bockman> this is a really fresh reinstall
[06:29] <bockman> reiserfs 3.6
[06:29] <__mikem> Ubuntu has always been behind the times with USB
[06:29] <Geev8> yoshiznit123: i mean it is in a zipped directory
[06:29] <krazykit> Sivik: i know... check the permissions on the files.  it should be -rw-r--r--
[06:29] <NthDegree> ditch reiserfs it is unreliable for an OS partition
[06:29] <NthDegree> it is ok for a home partition but not for the system
[06:29] <yoshiznit123> geev, u have to unzip it first
[06:29] <yoshiznit123> :-)
[06:29] <PaKaP> bonsoir
[06:29] <neutrinomass> valehru: Hm... can you please search launchpad for existing bug reports? If you don't find one, pleas report one. A backtrace (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash) will also be neccessary ...
[06:29] <Sivik> krazykit, they are all set like that
[06:29] <krazykit> NthDegree: no it isn't.  i've been using reiserfs for a year and a half no problems at all.
[06:29] <Geev8> yoshiznit123: ok
[06:30] <yoshiznit123> hey, does anybody know where (ie in which package in launchpad) i should file a bug regarding dependency problems in packages?
[06:30] <krazykit> Sivik: then i have absolutely no clue :-/
[06:30] <bockman> NthDegree, is that really the problem? i've used linux for years, and reiserfs has always worked for all partitions
[06:30] <ic56> Iam8up: yeah, I couldn't fit much about the recovery console in that entry.  But if you google for it, Microsoft.com has pretty detailed instructions on how to setup and enter the recovery console.
[06:30] <valehru> neutrinomass, sure no problem
[06:30] <Sivik> krazykit, should i download and install gdm to see if that fixes it?
[06:30] <mortal5> does anyone have vnc configured and working here?
[06:30] <NthDegree> krazykit: i have tried reiserfs god knows how many times, it has always corrupted or borked up somehow
[06:30] <Iam8up> ic56 - you stick the cd in and hit f3...it's simple
[06:30] <Iam8up> but i wouldn't expect it to be any more powerful then the installation itself
[06:30] <neutrinomass> NthDegree: reiserfs4 is unstable. 3 has proven OK. I've had my share of resiserfs partitions, no problems ...
[06:30] <theine> mortal5: I'm using the vnc client on my laptop
[06:31] <valehru> neutrinomass, I read somewhere that linuxthreads needs to be enabled...that was probably why it kept crashing, also that gftp is not that active anymore.....any comments on that?
[06:31] <bockman> NthDegree, wow, it says putting smbfs in the fstab file will bork your HAL
[06:31] <bockman> i wonder why...
[06:31] <Cntryboy> Does anyone know how to fix resolution problems in 3d accerlation, such at unrealtournament game?
[06:31] <NthDegree> i have no idea really
[06:31] <ic56> Iam8up: however, as yoshiznit123 points out, if you can boot in Windows, then just delete the infected dll from within windows.  If it's set to be read-only of if an ordinary user lacks perm, then just become Administrator and/or set the attrib's.
[06:31] <Samus_Aran> Cntryboy: that would depend what the problem is
[06:31] <NthDegree> Cntryboy try software rendering or openGL support
[06:31] <dankmiser> help: unclickable 'warning' messages in Azureus (ubuntu dapper / azureus / Java 1.4.2-02)
[06:32] <NthDegree> assuming you have the original UT
[06:32] <neutrinomass> valehru: I don't know about gftp's upsteam, they may be dead. You don't need to worry about linuxthreads.... If you file a bug at launchpad, maybe some person will take a look at it and post a fix :)
[06:32] <krazykit> Sivik: the best i can tell you is to ask the wdm people where to put .desktop files, really.
[06:32] <neutrinomass> chmod775: Did you file the bug report after all ?
[06:32] <valehru> ok...thanks
[06:32] <Sivik> ok, and who would be the wdm people, i can't seem to find anyone that uses wdm
[06:32] <Cntryboy> Nthdegree, with in the game it only shows open GL I can't even use software rendering...
[06:32] <Iam8up> ic56 - in windows - i'm logged in as administrator, it's not set to read only, it's locked by something under the system
[06:33] <chmod775> I am doing it
[06:33] <Samus_Aran> in my experience, the only time ReiserFS (3.x) b0rks out is due to hardware failure
[06:33] <neutrinomass> Sivik: I haven't followed your conversation but as a rule, .desktops go in /usr/share/applications ...
[06:33] <ic56> Iam8up: attrib?
[06:33] <Cntryboy> samus_aran my problem is unrealtournament won't let me choose 1024x768 resolution. It kicks me back to desktop.
[06:33] <NthDegree> Cntryboy, you mean the menu gives you no choice - becuase the openGL driver is experimental for UT\
[06:33] <krazykit> neutrinomass: it's for a login session.
[06:33] <Iam8up> ic56 - everyone has full access
[06:33] <neutrinomass> chmod775: Ok. I'll try to take a look into it so please give me a bug number when you're done (I'll do it at some point tomorrow)
[06:33] <Sivik> neutrinomass, then why are there ones in the /usr/share/xsession folder
[06:33] <Chri[s] > How do you back up movies in ubuntu?
[06:33] <Cntryboy> nthdegree, correct no choice
[06:33] <ryanakca> a user CAN be in more than 1 group, right? (usergroups, ex: addgroup)
[06:34] <Samus_Aran> Cntryboy: you need to check what the error message was that UT2004 spit out.  check ~/.xsession-errors file
[06:34] <chmod775> neutrinomass: sure
[06:34] <neutrinomass> ryanakca: yes :)
[06:34] <theine> Chri[s] : You mean "back up"?
[06:34] <walkover> hey does anybody remeber how to check the hdd transfer rate in linux
[06:34] <mjr> ryanakca, yes, quite a few. Try "id" in a shell window. It'll list your groups.
[06:34] <Samus_Aran> Cntryboy: or run it from a terminal
[06:34] <NthDegree> try getting an updated OpenGL driver, they do them on the website
[06:34] <__mikem> Brb, I have to get something to eat
[06:34] <Cntryboy> its unreal tournament orgiinal not 2004
[06:34] <neutrinomass> krazykit: Um... a login session? I'm not sure then ...
[06:34] <Samus_Aran> Cntryboy: ah
[06:34] <Iam8up> ic56 - which is why i said i thought it was ntfs - if it's not bound to anything running and it's not ntfs, i'd expect it to be ntfs fucked up (the table is read wrong to windows, protecting the file)
[06:34] <theine> walkover: I think you can use "sudo hdparm -tT /dev/hda" for that
[06:34] <Cntryboy> samus_aran I have an error it spit out
[06:34] <MisterN> cu
[06:34] <Cntryboy> care if I msg u and i'll paste it there
[06:34] <NthDegree> Cntryboy get an updated OpenGL driver off the site :P
[06:34] <theine> walkover: Provided that /dev/hda is actuallu your hard drive

[06:35] <Cntryboy> nthdegree what site? I redownloaded nvidia drivers last night, surely they are up to date

[06:35] <theine> Geev8: Are you sure that disk1.img is in the current directory?
[06:35] <neutrinomass> Geev8: Are you in the correct directory? Apparently there is no disk1.img file in your current directory ...
[06:35] <NthDegree> Cntryboy UT OpenGL drivers not the nvidia ones
[06:35] <tript> anyone here use pekwm?
[06:36] <ic56> Iam8up: I know little about Windows.  You might try googling for more help.  If you really think your NTFS filesystem is corrupt, then you *definitely* should not attempt to use Linux to interfere further (unless you don't care about losing the entire contents of that disk)
[06:36] <Chri[s] > theine, yes back up?
[06:36] <NthDegree> on the unreal tournament site they updated the in game OpenGL support, get their updates
[06:36] <theine> Geev8: Do "cd ~/Desktop" and try again
[06:36] <__mikem> JUst a random thought, if Kubuntu is ubuntu + kde, and Xubuntu is ubuntu + xfce, why isn't ubuntu + gnome called Gubuntu?
[06:36] <Geev8> yoshiznit123: my disk1.img is at t01 directory
[06:36] <neutrinomass> __mikem: Because it came first :P
[06:36] <walkover> thanks theine
[06:36] <Cntryboy> nthdegree where would I go to?
[06:36] <Cntryboy> the patch is 436, which is the newest
[06:36] <xiojason> are there known suspend/hibernate issues with the new kernel build (2.6.15-25)?
[06:36] <Samus_Aran> dankmiser: that is actually a bug with Azureus
[06:36] <NthDegree> __mikem, because ubuntu, kubuntu and xubuntu are real words
[06:36] <Iam8up> ic56 - it's a protectino method, actually, a virus/trojan/whatever will tell windows that it's writable only from the SID x-x-xx while it impersonates being fully accessable to everyone
[06:37] <NthDegree> Cntryboy not a patch, the OpenGL support
[06:37] <NthDegree> just have a look around
[06:37] <jaro> How can I make a USB Device (plugged out and plugged in again ) work  again ?
[06:37] <Iam8up> the fs isn't corrupt in that case
[06:37] <neutrinomass> xiojason: Numberous, especially for thinkpads. You'll find many here: http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bugs
[06:37] <dave1966> Hello
[06:37] <xiojason> neutrinomass: thank you very much
[06:37] <Samus_Aran> dankmiser: you need to use the Beta version of Azureus.  easiest way is to go to the Azureus web page, click on Beta and then download the .jar file.  simply 'mv' it overtop of the current .jar file for Azureus, to update it
[06:37] <__mikem> NthDegree, thats a sort of scarry coinsidence, its like those african words were ment to be the names of linux distros...lol
[06:37] <Cntryboy> okay so you want me to find opengl support for UT game itself not nvidia open gl drivers right?
[06:37] <neutrinomass> xiojason: Glad to help. If it worked in -23 but broke in -25, don't worry. From what I understand it will be fixed soonish...
[06:37] <NthDegree> yes Cntryboy
[06:37] <dankmiser> Samus_Aran: thanks
[06:37] <Samus_Aran> dankmiser: and next time that Azureus on Ubuntu is updated, you can just update it as per usual
[06:38] <ic56> Iam8up: whatever the virus told your system, you should be able to untell.  You just need to learn how to do it.
[06:38] <theine> Chri[s] : There's dvdrip, dvdbackup and probably more in the repos
[06:38] <xiojason> neutrinomass: that's exactly correct. -23 seemed to work great. :)
[06:38] <Cntryboy> any clue to where as I would go, i'm on 2.1KB dial up and just googling a page takes me 15 min
[06:38] <NthDegree> i swear they have updated the support for it 3 or 4 times over the games lifespan :)
[06:38] <dave1966> when you have a moment I have a question
[06:38] <NthDegree> nope I don't play windows games on linux so much anymore
[06:38] <Geev8> plese tell me which command will show which directory am i working around
[06:38] <Iam8up> ic56 - theres no information about this thing anywhere on the itnernet - not even mcafee's site (the AV that discovered it)
[06:38] <theine> Geev8: pwd
[06:38] <NthDegree> and linux versions never work :(
[06:38] <neutrinomass> xiojason: Look at existing bug reports. If one matches your situation completely, add a "me too" and set it to "confirmed". If none match, I think it's best you open a new bug
[06:38] <Sivik> ok, i think i like e16 better than i do e17
[06:39] <Sivik> krazykit, how do i edit my programs menu
[06:39] <krazykit> Sivik: really?  i didn't like e16 that much
[06:39] <Chri[s] > But like is there anything like dvd-shrink?
[06:39] <krazykit> Sivik: e16 or 17?
[06:39] <Chri[s] > cause i can't just copy a full length dvd
[06:39] <Geev8> theine: t01@Tech01:~$ pwd
[06:39] <Geev8> /home/t01
[06:39] <xiojason> neutrinomass: will do. thanks again.
[06:39] <Sivik> krazykit, i like how you can minimize the window but leave the title bar in the active window
[06:39] <__mikem> Another random thought. The only problem I have with kde, is they make it to hard to customize.
[06:39] <Samus_Aran> dankmiser: actually, from what I remember the bug is in the GUI toolkit (SWT I think it is called) that Azureus uses with Java
[06:40] <Sivik> krazykit, instead of minimizing is the only way to make it disappear
[06:40] <ic56> Iam8up: are you familiar with the windows attrib command?
[06:40] <__mikem> If it wasn't for that, I would still be using it
[06:40] <theine> Geev8: you command prompt also shows you in which directory you're in
[06:40] <Samus_Aran> dankmiser: but it works fine again in the Betas
[06:40] <dave1966> I installed  Ubuntu on a older system and it didn't find my sound card any help would be great
[06:40] <Chri[s] > well
[06:40] <Sivik> krazykit, e17, how do i edit a menu
[06:40] <krazykit> Sivik: that's called shading the window... most window managers do that nowadays ;-)
[06:40] <Chri[s] > if dvdshrink works with wine
[06:40] <garryfre> I made up a can and put a label around it it said "Computer bug spray" and had instructions to spray in the back of the computer repeat as needed, do not use on windows programs as these are indestinquishable from bugs.
[06:40] <Chri[s] > Sup sivik
[06:40] <theine> Geev8: t01@Tech01:~$ means "User t01 on Tech01 in directory ~"
[06:40] <neutrinomass> chmod775: Have you installed anything related to xine ?
[06:40] <__mikem> devel1966, for older systems, Id go with ubuntu lite
[06:40] <garryfre> er, cobol programs
[06:40] <Sivik> Chri[s] , what up
[06:40] <theine> Geev8: And ~ is your home directory
[06:40] <krazykit> Sivik: uh, afaik, use entangle if you want a graphical bit.  you won't have any program bits to do it though.  e17genmenu will make them for you
[06:40] <tsmith> how do i install nvidia drivers on 64bit ubuntu?
[06:40] <__mikem> cobol is so 50 years ago, C/C++/Assembly is where its at
[06:41] <tsmith> so that 3d works... cuz i cannot figure it out
[06:41] <garryfre> !nvidia
[06:41] <ubotu> nvidia is, like, totally, a graphics card manufacturer. For help about installing the Nvidia drivers on Ubuntu, you can visit the Ubuntu WIki at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[06:41] <chmod775> neutrinomass: those were all the packages I installed related to xine. Please see the bug I filed. Nothing apart from that
[06:41] <Sivik> krazykit, how do i get e17 to do the shading?
[06:41] <Sivik> Chri[s] , whats going on?
[06:41] <Geev8> theine: so tech01 is it my current directory?
[06:41] <neutrinomass> chmod775: Ahh, sorry, I missed that part ....
[06:41] <dave1966> my system is a 500 mhz with 312 memory
[06:41] <theine> Geev8: No, Tech01 is your machine's name
[06:41] <chmod775> neutrinomass: np
[06:41] <krazykit> Sivik: middle-click/double-click/scroll-wheel-up on the title bar
[06:42] <tsmith> i dont think thats thr right one garryfe
[06:42] <Chri[s] > Sivik, not much
[06:42] <tsmith> that is for 32bit
[06:42] <Geev8> theine: ok that is what i know
[06:42] <Sivik> krazykit, when i double-click, nothing happens
[06:42] <Samus_Aran> dankmiser: your Azureus jar file is at /usr/share/java/Azureus2.jar
[06:42] <neutrinomass> chmod775: Try reinstalling libxine-extracodecs. Othen than that, no real suggestion :(
[06:42] <Sivik> krazykit, its cause it was maximized
[06:42] <dankmiser> Samus_Aran: thank you for the info, I looking for the link for the 'beta'
[06:42] <Geev8> theine: so right now disk1.img is at /home/t01 directory
[06:42] <garryfre> I've heard there are quite a few packages not ported over to 64 bit linux yet, and that ye might be happier with 32 bit for now. I think it's a shame too, it would be so neat to have true 64 bit computing just for the shineyness of it.
[06:42] <krazykit> Sivik: ah, if it's maximized, it won't shade.  there are still some problems with maximizing programs like mplayer and gthumb.
[06:43] <chmod775> neutrinomass: I installed this package 15 minutes ago but in vain, same problem
[06:43] <ryanakca> ok, for enabling web interface for CUPS, I ran "sudo adduser cupsys shadow" as described by /usr/share/doc/cupsys/README.Debian, yet the web interface still doesn't work. I get a dialog box, (like one given by htaccess) asking for a username & password. I enter cupsys. I hit Ok. "Authentication failed. Do you wish to try again?" What do I do?
[06:43] <neutrinomass> chmod775: :( Don't know, sorry mate
[06:43] <theine> Geev8: Are you sure? Do you see it if you do "ls"
[06:43] <Stork> what's the latest kernel?
[06:43] <krazykit> Sivik: it is, after all, pre-alpha code, so you can't expect perfection.
[06:43] <Sivik> krazykit, ok
[06:43] <garryfre> Its the one the bot gives. Nothing I can do if the info it gives is incorrect.
[06:43] <chmod775> neutrinomass: U don't have to be sorry dude
[06:43] <tsmith> anyone here have 64 bit ubuntu and got nvidia 3d working? these default drivers arent kicking it..... at all
[06:43] <Geev8> theine: ok hold on....
[06:43] <chmod775> neutrinomass: chill :)
[06:43] <theine> Geev8: "ls" is the UNIX equivalent to DOS's "dir" command
[06:43] <tsmith> if so msg i need a bit of help
[06:44] <yUSiyEEE> anyone know how to enable more resolution options for the monitor?
[06:44] <Sivik> krazykit, now it won't run any of my terminals
[06:44] <yUSiyEEE> i only have 640*480 available
[06:44] <krazykit> Sivik: but i'd recommend checking out the user docs on get-e.org
[06:44] <garryfre> !fixres
[06:44] <ubotu> Help to fix the display resolution is available at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[06:44] <Sivik> krazykit, ok
[06:44] <__mikem> I have a 3ghz amd64 and my dad wouldn't let me install windows xp 64 bit eddition. Since I am using vmware, I am not sure if I can run a 64 bit guest os, in a 32 bit host os
[06:44] <neutrinomass> chmod775: I hate it when I drag people along and at the end I can't solve the problem :)
[06:44] <Sivik> yUSiyEEE, you may not have your drivers installed correctly
[06:44] <theine> yUSiyEEE: You probably need to reconfigure the X-server
[06:44] <Geev8> theine: t01@Tech01:~$ ls
[06:44] <Geev8> canopy.pkg2  Desktop  DISK1.IMG  jimmy  massawe
[06:44] <yUSiyEEE> i did the reconfigure
[06:44] <Cntryboy> grr I can't find anything
[06:44] <chmod775> neutrinomass: Don't worry u did ur best
[06:44] <Cntryboy> lol
[06:44] <Sivik> yUSiyEEE, what kind of card do you have?
[06:44] <krazykit> Sivik: well, it has some defaults that you may not have.  you could hit alt-escape to bring up the Run dialogue, and run the terminal from there until you get it all configured
[06:44] <neutrinomass> Geev8: It's in capitals. Linux is case-sensitive
[06:44] <chmod775> neutrinomass: U did ur best
[06:44] <yUSiyEEE> and enable the other resolution option
[06:44] <__mikem> HEy, does anyone here run vmware
[06:45] <Iam8up> ic56 - nope
[06:45] <yUSiyEEE> ati rage
[06:45] <theine> Geev8: OK, here's another thing: The file system is case sensitive
[06:45] <yUSiyEEE> old card
[06:45] <yUSiyEEE> it used to work on my lcd
[06:45] <Sivik> krazykit, yeah, but the problem is, that non of the terminals from the run command aren't working
[06:45] <theine> Geev8: so disk1.img and DISK1.IMG is not the same
[06:45] <yUSiyEEE> but i just switched it to another crt
[06:45] <krazykit> Sivik: try xterm?
[06:45] <yUSiyEEE> and did the reconifg
[06:45] <Sivik> krazykit, would that have anything to do with a IPC error when i started
[06:45] <krazykit> Sivik: no clue what an ipc error is
[06:45] <Geev8> theine: ok you my friends let me check it again
[06:45] <piqqy> why isn't Xubuntu 6.06 letting me do a raid config in the partitioner?
[06:46] <Sivik> krazykit, xterm, the application failed to start
[06:46] <__mikem> How to install an ati card, 1. Mount it on a wooden post in the yard. 2. Load shotgun, 3. FIre at will. 4.  I get an external hard drive, figuring it would last becasue I turn it on only for backups right? So I go to turn it on and I get nothing. Many componants don't truly turn off and well, a spike fried it while it was turned off!
[06:46] <Sivik> __mikem, now thats funny
[06:46] <dave1966> I have no sound on my computer since install and there is no default card in the sound area
[06:46] <ic56> Iam8up: then why didn't you say so the first time I told you to fix the attributes?  Here:  read this: http://www.computerhope.com/attribhl.htm

[06:46] <yUSiyEEE> guess i should get a better card for this thing
[06:46] <krazykit> Sivik: :-/  what other ones do you have?  eterm, rxvt, et?
[06:46] <Geev8> theine: it work now
[06:46] <theine> Geev8: cool
[06:46] <yUSiyEEE> let me try it out

[06:47] <garryfre> Thats how to install a hole into a video card.
[06:47] <Stork> hmm.. i installed ubuntu breezy from the x64 install CD.. then upgraded to dapper.. now if i want to use a dual core AMD system i need to download the k8-smp kernel off synaptic and just reboot onto that kernel??
[06:47] <__mikem> Sivik, do you know if I can run 64 bit linux under 32 bit windows in vmware, I have been wanting to try it and I don't know if its safe
[06:47] <Sivik> krazykit, eterm, the application failed to start
[06:47] <Sivik> __mikem: you should be able to
[06:47] <neutrinomass> tsmith: Or maybe nobody knows ?
[06:47] <garryfre> Hmm, sounds about right Stork
[06:47] <tsmith> someone should..
[06:47] <__mikem> Ill have to try it later when I actually have spare time to play around with it
[06:47] <theine> Stork: Yes
[06:47] <paxl> Euh.. can somone help me, Assuming I cant use teh Ubunutu live CD to install and the only thing I have is a kororaa boot cd.. how can I install ubuntu ? Is ther a net install
[06:47] <krazykit> Sivik: well, i don't know what you have installed.  it's strange that even xterm didn't start.  maybe go bug the guys at #e?
[06:47] <_rodney> tsmith: what prob ?
[06:47] <Samus_Aran> __mikem: current releases of VMware allow you to run 64bit operating systems on 32 and 64bit machines
[06:48] <paxl> or somehting taht ca be boot form another distrib ?
[06:48] <krazykit> paxl: read up on debootstrap
[06:48] <Geev8> theine: from you i lean some thing know that this is my first week to be close with linux
[06:48] <Chri[s] > Well k3b + wine + dvdshrink = acceptable
[06:48] <tsmith> i wanna get nvidia driver installed on ubuntu 6.06 64bit edition..
[06:48] <tsmith> im running some default crap
[06:48] <Chri[s] > but what about sony's encription
[06:48] <Samus_Aran> __mikem: performance wouldn't be all that great doing a 64bit O/S on a 32bit CPU, though .. performance is great in the other direction though
[06:48] <__mikem> My machine is 64 bit, but the host os, namely windows xp is 32 bit
[06:48] <theine> Geev8: Don't worry, you'll manage
[06:48] <Stork> thanks theine and garryfre.. also do you know if the grub boot order will be changed automatically?
[06:48] <Geev8> theine: so am  a beginer to linux and i started with ubuntu
[06:49] <dankmiser> Samus_Aran: got it...and I want the jar file and overwrite the one in /usr/share/java/
[06:49] <__mikem> Samus_Aran, I have an amd64, but it runs 32 bit windows
[06:49] <theine> Geev8: Good choice!
[06:49] <neutrinomass> tsmith: I'm not sure, but I'm under the impression that you can't have the binary drivers with 64bit Ubuntu....
[06:49] <Samus_Aran> __mikem: ah, I see .. and you want to try out a 64bit GNU/Linux distro on top of that 32bit Windows ?
[06:49] <_rodney> tsmith: nvidia release them for linux.. erm i dunoo about the 64bit versions tho
[06:49] <theine> Stork: not sure about that
[06:50] <tsmith> there are 64bit version of driver out
[06:50] <_rodney> check they exist and dowload em ,,, the readme etc,., explains how to install then
[06:50] <neutrinomass> tsmith: Sorry, you probably can ....
[06:50] <__mikem> Samus_Aran, yup, thats the idea. I was told it wasn't a good idea though
[06:50] <garryfre> Here is the link I used, it worked for both ubunto and kbuntu https://wiki.kubuntu.org/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia?highlight=%28nvidia%29
[06:50] <tsmith> the thing is how to go about installing it...
[06:50] <Sivik> krazykit, i just got eterm to work
[06:50] <tsmith> its saying my modules are mismatched or whatever
[06:50] <Samus_Aran> __mikem: that will work, but it will be running the 64bit emulation from your CPU's 32bit emulation, as your Windows kernel doesn't support 64bit
[06:50] <garryfre> stork yes it will change automatically.
[06:50] <_rodney> ah there you go ;)
[06:50] <tsmith> i had to do the same thing with 32bit ubuntu.
[06:50] <Samus_Aran> __mikem: so you'll be triple-emulating =p
[06:50] <tsmith> i just forgot i just came back to ubuntu
[06:50] <mirak> hi
[06:50] <tsmith> preventing me from actually installing the real drivers..
[06:51] <garryfre> Stork test
[06:51] <__mikem> Samus_Aran, that is just not worth the trouble, triple-layer emulation is a performance nightmare
[06:51] <theine> garryfre: what actually determines which kernel is the top-most one in the automagically generated kernel list?
[06:51] <garryfre> Stork Newest will go on top.
[06:51] <garryfre> Newest on top.
[06:51] <dave1966> Have a problem with no ssound card installed.  New to Linux system could use a wee bit of help please
[06:51] <neopsyche> does anyone know how to configure a modem on ubuntu?
[06:51] <Geev8> theine: can you tell me what basic thinks i need to know first that will make me to lean/work easly linux os
[06:51] <garryfre> er most recently installed.
[06:51] <_rodney> whats the exact error you get ? tsmith
[06:52] <tsmith> http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
[06:52] <garryfre> Same way you install ATI cards.
[06:52] <_rodney> youve got the right download for your kernel ?
[06:52] <neutrinomass> neopsyche: What modem ?
[06:52] <AlexC> Hey
[06:52] <Geev8> any body can you tell me what basic thinks i need to know first that will make me to lean/work easly linux os
[06:52] <Samus_Aran> __mikem: it may not be as bad as you think, being that AMD is quite good at emulating the 32bit CPU (almost 2x32bit CPUs for each 64bit one), but you will then have VMware's 64bit emulation to contend with. all in all, you will lose performance over just running a 32bit GNU/Linux distro
[06:52] <AlexC> You know when you scroll over the Speaker Icon, and it decrease/increase the volume, is there anyway to get it to increase/decrease/mute ALL output channels?
[06:53] <Stork> thank you garryfre. my faith in ubuntu has been restored!
[06:53] <tsmith> one sec i cant exactly copy paste what it says..
[06:53] <Geev8> because am a beginer to linux os
[06:53] <blanky> AlexC, master volume?
[06:53] <theine> Geev8: There's a free Ubuntu book coming out rather soon I think
[06:53] <Samus_Aran> __mikem: you're much better off installing a 64bit GNU/Linux and then emulating the Win32 from that base
[06:53] <garryfre> Stork Welcome
[06:53] <neutrinomass> Geev8: Well, to begin with, man is your friend. If you don't know what a command does (say for example "chmod"), you do "man chmod" in a terminal and you get help.
[06:53] <__mikem> Samus_Aran, What about duel booting 64 bit linux with 32bit windows
[06:53] <pradeep> theine, isnt there already one?
[06:53] <AlexC> blanky: no that doesn't work beause I have 5.1 Surround sound - so to get my surround sound working I have to increase the Wave Surround channel
[06:53] <blanky> Stork
[06:53] <blanky> !nvidia
[06:53] <ubotu> nvidia is probably a graphics card manufacturer. For help about installing the Nvidia drivers on Ubuntu, you can visit the Ubuntu WIki at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[06:54] <theine> pradeep: sure, could be, do you have a link?
[06:54] <garryfre> I want the upgrade to the man command ... woman
[06:54] <_rodney> ;)
[06:54] <aMit--> Hello, I'm pretty new to ubuntu, yet I'm trying to install some things, no problems so far, but now all my user access has been removed :S, Only I use this computer, anyone have an idea?
[06:54] <Samus_Aran> __mikem: you should have no problems dual-booting, if you don't mind actually having to reboot
[06:54] <blanky> Aleks-, sorry then
[06:54] <Stork> blanky, ?
[06:54] <_rodney> aMit--: you cant log in ?
[06:54] <AlexC> blanky: unless there is another way to get 5.1 surround sound working?
[06:54] <blanky> aMit--, what? Can you be a bit more specific please?
[06:54] <__mikem> This thing can boot into windows in 21 seconds
[06:54] <theine> Geev8: http://www.phptr.com/bookstore/product.asp?isbn=0132435942&rl=1
[06:54] <blanky> Stork, read what ubotu said
[06:54] <neutrinomass> Geev8: Other than that, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BasicCommands might be useful. But I don't think you'll have much trouble if you use the graphical user environment )
[06:54] <aMit--> yes, sorry I'm just too new
[06:54] <garryfre> Boy, I'm in a humous/silly mood today. Not sure if that's good or bad.
[06:55] <blanky> aMit--, no problem
[06:55] <pradeep> theine,
[06:55] <pradeep> theine, http://www.phptr.com/bookstore/product.asp?isbn=0132435942&rl=1
[06:55] <Cntryboy> Hey gang i've download The latest stable OpenGL renderer is version 3.1: utglr31.zip (48 KB) for my unreal tournament game.. How can I unzip this file using linux?
[06:55] <theine> Geev8: I believe it will also be available free of charge under a open content license
[06:55] <aMit--> anyway, I'm logged in, just in the System menu and in Administration tab, I cant see all the options I've seen before
[06:55] <theine> pradeep: it says August 4
[06:55] <pradeep> theine, and im late :P
[06:55] <garryfre> What is the file name Cntryboy
[06:55] <garryfre> ?
[06:55] <Geev8> sorry am quite because am trying to record all what you tell me
[06:55] <blanky> aMit--, was there anything you did that you think might've caused this, what was the last notable thing you did/installed
[06:56] <Cntryboy> garryfre I told ya
[06:56] <Cntryboy> utglr31.zip (48 KB)
[06:56] <garryfre> Doh
[06:56] <_rodney> unzip file.zip
[06:56] <pradeep> theine, thought it was already out :/
[06:56] <garryfre> There ye go.
[06:56] <Cntryboy> where will it unzip it to?
[06:56] <_rodney> current dir
[06:56] <Cntryboy> ok
[06:56] <Cntryboy> thx
[06:56] <Cntryboy> brb
[06:56] <_rodney> np ;)
[06:56] <tsmith> ok when i go to install it says  "unable to find system utility please make sure you have the package 'binutils' installed. if you do have binutils installed then please check that 'ld' is in your path..."
[06:57] <aMit--> Erm, I did not change any access in MY account, I've changed the root 'cause I didn't knew anything about the sudo command, now that I've learned how to use it, I've restored the root user to its last settings and then I just couldn't use any of the options in the administration tab, when I restarted the computer, all the options were just removed
[06:57] <Stork> blanky, why?
[06:57] <__mikem> tsmith do apt-get build-essential
[06:57] <mortal5> why can I not change my screen resolution to 1280x1024?  I was running this resolution in slackware
[06:57] <blanky> Stork, forget about it
[06:57] <garryfre> Hmmm, maybe need to get build essentials?
[06:57] <_rodney> apt-get install binutils
[06:57] <garryfre> ubotu tell mortal5 about fixres
[06:58] <siriusnova> im just curoius - how many people are having problems with the new kernel update, raise your hand
[06:58] <neutrinomass> ubotu, tell neopsyche about winmodem
[06:58] <__mikem> _rodney he should just do apt-get build essential, and get that out of the way
[06:58] <morphix> mortal5: you need to manually edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:58] <_rodney> ah thanks ;)
[06:58] <aMit--> Was just wondering if there's any way to give me access through the files or something like that...
[06:58] <tsmith> ok gettin build-essential
[06:58] <tsmith> dling/installing
[06:58] <__mikem> xorg.conf is so easy to manually edit that a caveman could do it
[06:59] <garryfre> I hope that helps
[06:59] <Mikelo> anybody manage to watch world cup streaming in ubuntu?
[06:59] <garryfre> I remember that geiko commercial. Don't insult the cavemen
[06:59] <__mikem> lol I had no idea they were still around
[06:59] <Mikelo> i want to watch the second half czech rep.-ghana game
[06:59] <tsmith> now it says you appear ot be running x server
[06:59] <tsmith> i guess i have to close this out
[06:59] <garryfre> "Next time do a little research." LOL
[07:00] <tsmith> brb..
[07:00] <abo> does anyone knows how can I compress a jpeg picture (by reducing its quality )
[07:00] <__mikem> lmfao
[07:00] <tsmith> i know shit will go wrong
[07:00] <tsmith> i went this b4
[07:00] <tsmith> i just hope i dont break anything..
[07:00] <tsmith> heh
[07:00] <Mikelo> abo, imagemagick
[07:00] <dankmiser> Samus_Aran: ok, swapped out the file, started up AZ, no messages, so hopefully if I get any I can finally click on "hide" :o)
[07:00] <krazykit> abo: the gimp will do it too
[07:00] <Mikelo> abo, gimp
[07:00] <aMit--> Well, guys, what file should I edit to regain myself access to synaptic and users management
[07:00] <garryfre> Its so simple a caveman can break it.
[07:00] <__mikem> Now thats just mean
[07:01] <neutrinomass> aMit--: What's the problem ?
[07:01] <Mikelo> any streams help!!!!!!!!!!! world cup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[07:01] <aMit--> I've lost my user access, don't ask me how 'cause I really have no idea
[07:01] <abo> Mikelo, I was playing around with convert from imagemagick, but couldn't do it, can you help?
[07:01] <__mikem> aMit, can you log in as root
[07:01] <neutrinomass> aMit--: sudo access or your account ?
[07:01] <aMit--> my account
[07:02] <SonicChao> Mikelo, adding more exclamation marks doesn't make you get help faster.
[07:02] <abo> krazykit, Mikelo, I couldn't figure out how to do it using gimp, can you help?
[07:02] <Mikelo> abo,  u need to reduce size or quality or both?
[07:02] <abo> Mikelo, size in terms of how many KB, not width and heigh,
[07:02] <aMit--> Don't think I can log in as root, but last time I saw root didn't have access to those stuff I need either
[07:02] <neutrinomass> aMit--: Ok.... reboot. Enter grub's rescue mode and add a user from there ... it will bring you to a console. 'useradd' is what you need ...
[07:02] <pepinito> hi
[07:02] <abo> Mikelo, so I need to reduce quality
[07:02] <Mikelo> abo, open jpg file in jpg then save as... change quality
[07:03] <pepinito> someone knows which tv apps ubuntu has?
[07:03] <aMit--> just to re-add my user?
[07:03] <_rodney> Mikelo: you have access to a stream already ?
[07:03] <__mikem> I always thought the idea of vecter graphics was to reduce quality loss
[07:03] <Jemt> NOO, please help me. I just did a 'rm *.tmp documents/ -R' which removed ALL my documents. Can I get them back ?
[07:03] <neutrinomass> aMit--: Oh, sorry. I thought you deleted the only user on the system .... To add a user System->Administration->Users and Groups ...
[07:03] <krazykit> abo: save-as... and you can save it with lower quality
[07:03] <__mikem> Jemt, yes, its called backup your data
[07:03] <garryfre> Oh nice, every day I learn something worth coming here for and todya I learned it from neutrinomass about rescue mode adding a user.
[07:03] <krazykit> __mikem: no, it's to be able to scale the image as big as you want it.
[07:03] <Mikelo> _rodney, no!!
[07:04] <Mikelo> _rodney, just radio
[07:04] <Jemt> __mikem: .......
[07:04] <krazykit> __mikem: if you want lossless picture files, look at tiff and png.
[07:04] <pepinito> tv apps that came with Ubuntu?
[07:04] <_rodney> Jemt: its very difficult most would say no... but you can...theres an undelete program abgout somewhere
[07:04] <aMit--> neutrinomass, thats the problem in my user, I don't have "Users and Groups" option anymore (and more options like synaptic and some others)
[07:04] <Jemt> __mikem: I do have backup - but it's a few days old
[07:04] <neutrinomass> Jemt: ext3? No. You can't undelete them. Your only chance is "cat /dev/hda1" and grepping for your files.
[07:04] <Mikelo> _rodney, i guess u dont either
[07:04] <_rodney> nope lol
[07:04] <__mikem> Jemt, that will have to do
[07:04] <garryfre> Hmm, check trash can?
[07:04] <__mikem> atleast you won't be starting from scratch
[07:04] <Jemt> Bugger!!!
[07:04] <Jemt> Well, thanks, guys
[07:04] <_rodney> Jemt: dd if=/dev/thedrive of=myfiles
[07:05] <_rodney> then search myfiles for your files...
[07:05] <neutrinomass> aMit--: "gksudo users-admin" in a terminal - If I understand correctly, it's just the menu entries that have gone ?
[07:05] <__mikem> Jemt in the future, never use rm -R, its too dangerous, if you need to do recursive removal, use rm -iR for interactive mode
[07:05] <zielu> fdfd
[07:05] <Mikelo> abo, im reading the convert manual
[07:05] <Zambezi> Can anybody help me importing my files from Thunderbird Windows too Thunderbird Linux?
[07:05] <Courtlandj> Hello everyone.
[07:05] <aMit--> I think so, so far I'm only familiar with the menues, I'm not so good with terminal commands yet, but working on it
[07:05] <__mikem> Jemt also, you should echo the wildcards so you know what they expand to
[07:05] <Jemt> __mikem: Ah, good idea
[07:05] <neutrinomass> Jemt: It's quite uncool that you don't get undelete in ext3.... :(
[07:05] <Jemt> __mikem: How do I remove .tmp files only ?
[07:05] <Zoo> anyone knows which is the (Super) Button? I need it to use some shortcuts with compiz
[07:06] <tsmith> ok now its tell my i have the wrong kernal
[07:06] <Jemt> neutrinomass: Indeed
[07:06] <tsmith> to install nvidia driver...
[07:06] <Mikelo> abo, convert -quality x old_file.jpg new_file.jpg play with x try 4,3,7
[07:06] <__mikem> Jemt, what exactly did you type
[07:06] <garryfre> the nvidia driver?
[07:06] <ticc> hi. during instalation of ubuntu i have not given user name, just only password, and naw i'm unable to log in. how can i solve that problem?
[07:06] <tsmith> yes
[07:06] <Mikelo> abo, then ll *.jpg to verify size
[07:06] <nickrud> Zoo, on my keyboard it's the start key
[07:06] <tsmith> it got farther but now i guess its talking about the linux kernal
[07:06] <tsmith> has to be a certain version i guess to install
[07:06] <Jemt> __mikem: rm *.tmp Documents/ -R'
[07:06] <garryfre> https://wiki.kubuntu.org/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia?highlight=%28nvidia%29 there, try this again to get your kernal working.
[07:06] <_rodney> i think i remember having to compile my kernel to use then drivers for 32bit tsmith
[07:06] <neutrinomass> Jemt: rm *.tmp .... But (DONT DO THIS) if you type : "rm * .tmp" by accident, you remove ALL files, and afterwards all the ones that and in *.tmp (it's the space that messes it up ... )
[07:06] <tsmith> i had to go thru this with 32bit to.. if i remember
[07:07] <Zoo> thanks nickrud, i supposed it was that, but it's not working... i'll see what i can find
[07:07] <garryfre> if you have nvidia
[07:07] <graveson> how do i turn off utf-8 and what is the impact
[07:07] <__mikem> if you want to just remove the .tmp files rm *.tmp would have surficed
[07:07] <Courtlandj> ticc: During install you should have entered your "full name" and your "account name". The account name is your login name.
[07:07] <aMit--> neutrinomass, from what I understand, I can't see those options in the menu since my user has lost it's access to it
[07:07] <abo> Mikelo, the Gimp seems to have worked, I'll do the convert quality one now
[07:07] <abo> Mikelo, thx
[07:07] <neutrinomass> aMit--: Did "gksudo users-admin" work ?
[07:07] <Mikelo> abo, dont bother!
[07:07] <aMit--> nop
[07:07] <tsmith> any idea how to find out which kernal i need
[07:07] <neutrinomass> aMit--: Can you sudo ?
[07:07] <aMit--> it gave an error
[07:07] <aMit--> erm
[07:08] <garryfre> I guess sometimes installing the latest kernel is so easy a caveman can break it.
[07:08] <tsmith> and how to go about doing it again
[07:08] <ticc> Courtlandj: but i didn't type anythihng in "account name" filed :(
[07:08] <garryfre> what processor?
[07:08] <aMit--> what should I try to sudo? :P
[07:08] <aMit--> to see if I can
[07:08] <__mikem> But you need to be in that dirrectory.
[07:08] <neutrinomass> aMit--: "sudo test"
[07:08] <_rodney> it should say in the howtos..
[07:08] <aMit--> ok
[07:08] <_rodney> !nvidia
[07:08] <ubotu> somebody said nvidia was a graphics card manufacturer. For help about installing the Nvidia drivers on Ubuntu, you can visit the Ubuntu WIki at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[07:08] <_rodney> hmm
[07:08] <__mikem> Ok, kids what did we learn today. When it comes to recursive file removal, just say no.
[07:08] <aMit--> erm it asked for a pass, I put in my password and it just moved on, didn't say anything
[07:08] <_rodney> ;)
[07:08] <aMit--> so i think i can then?
[07:08] <pepinito> someone knows which tv apps Ubuntu has?
[07:09] <GullyFoyle> if i use apt-get install <pkg> will it automatically upgrade to the newest version of an app i already have? or do i have to remove the old one first?
[07:09] <Courtlandj> ticc: It would have been automatically filled with your full name I believe. I don't remember precisely, but try logging in with "firstname" (of whatever you entered as your first name) or maybe "firstname-lastname" or something like that.
[07:09] <neutrinomass> aMit--: Yes. Now "gksudo users-admin" ... Pastebin the error if it fails (/msg ubotu pastebin if you don't know what pastebin is )
[07:09] <_rodney> pepinito: theres loadsa video players in linux...
[07:09] <ticc> how can i recover my password using live cd? is it possible? where is that nuser name and pass stored?
[07:09] <_rodney> s/in/for
[07:09] <aMit--> ok brb then
[07:09] <tsmith> wow am i growing ever so impatient
[07:09] <__mikem> ticc, yes it is
[07:09] <graveson> how do i turn off utf-8 and what is the impact - anyone
[07:09] <garryfre> I did a recursive zip of slackware once. Yep, it put it all nice and neat into one backup file then deleted all the original files and directories.
[07:09] <__mikem> but you need to know how to mount your root filesystem and you need to hope the passwords file isn't encrypted
[07:10] <FR500> ticc: you dont need to know where
[07:10] <Courtlandj> ticc: You can never recover a password, but you can set a new one.
[07:10] <FR500> just boot with the live cd and change it
[07:10] <pepinito> _rodney; TV apps?
[07:10] <Jemt> How can I remove all .tmp files from a specific folder including all sub-folders ?
[07:10] <_rodney> pepinito: no compute... i dont understand what you mean lol
[07:10] <ticc> Courtlandj: how???
[07:10] <neutrinomass> ticc: You can't recover your password. Reboot and select "rescue mode" in grub. It will boot you to a terminal. Do "passwd yourusernamehere" and change the password.
[07:10] <__mikem> Jemt, you can't
[07:10] <NoUse> pepinito try zapping and tvtime
[07:10] <pepinito> _rodney; TV Players
[07:10] <Frogzoo> Jemt: find . -name '*.tmp' -exec rm {} \;
[07:10] <pepinito> ok
[07:10] <Nikyo> Hi, can anyone recommend a nice firewall with gui ?
[07:11] <_rodney> TV card drivers ?
[07:11] <aMit--> neutrinomass it just said that I'm not in the "soduer" list
[07:11] <mjr> Jemt, find foldername -name "*tmp" -exec rm '{}' \;
[07:11] <NoUse> !firewall
[07:11] <ubotu> Ubuntu has, like every other linux distribution, firewalling built into the kernel. A simple frontend to this firewall is firestarter, which can be installed via synaptic.
[07:11] <__mikem> well, I guess you could do that
[07:11] <mjr> echo
[07:11] <Frogzoo> Nikyo: firestarter
[07:11] <aMit--> sudo*
[07:11] <__mikem> brb have to take a shower
[07:11] <ticc> neutrinomass: but the case is i don't know user name
[07:11] <ncel> ola
[07:11] <pepinito> _rodney: no, not drivers, apps
[07:11] <Jemt> Frogzoo && mjr: Thanks
[07:11] <chmod775> aMit--: kya haal hai ?
[07:11] <_rodney> video players ?
[07:11] <pepinito> _rodney: let me try tvtime
[07:11] <aMit--> what?
[07:11] <neutrinomass> ticc: In a terminal, do "cat /etc/passwd". Your username should be somewhere there ...
[07:11] <aMit--> english maybe
[07:11] <pepinito> _rodney:  just wanted the name to find out
[07:11] <_rodney> mplayer
[07:11] <_rodney> ;)
[07:12] <Nikyo> NoUse: thank you
[07:12] <Courtlandj> ticc: Go into .. nevermind, neutrino got it.
[07:12] <ticc> neutrinomass Courtlandj ok, i'll try that one... thx to all :)
[07:12] <Courtlandj> ticc: There will be lots of users displayed there
[07:12] <tsmith> how do i change my linux image kernal so that i can instrall nvidia driver?
[07:12] <tsmith> eh...
[07:12] <neutrinomass> aMit--: Reboot into rescue mode. Do "nano -w /etc/group" and add yourself to the "admin" group....
[07:12] <tsmith> i forgot the cmd to do so so....
[07:12] <Courtlandj> ticc: Like gdm, syslog, and so on. Look for the one that's you.
[07:12] <aMit--> erm ok
[07:13] <neutrinomass> aMit--: Before you do that, can you pastebin /etc/sudoers ?
[07:13] <_rodney> erm you doing a kernel compile ?
[07:13] <GullyFoyle> i did apt-cache show <pkg> and it showed a newer version of an app i use. if i apt-get install that pkg will it automatically upgrade it to the new pkg or do i need to remove the old one first?
[07:13] <neutrinomass> GullyFoyle: Automatically upgraded ...
[07:13] <GullyFoyle> thx
[07:13] <aMit--> erm sure i'll try, as I said this is my first day at ubuntu or any dist, so I'm not that good at finding things, but i'll try
[07:13] <siriusnova> aMit - what are you trying to do?
[07:13] <neutrinomass> aMit--: It's very weird that such a thing should hapen. Please tell me you didn't choose the "expert" mode during isntallation !
[07:14] <pepinito> today i got 74 upgrades, is that normal?
[07:14] <tsmith> heh i am this close - to giving up with this
[07:14] <tsmith> and go back to xp or something
[07:14] <tsmith> this is ridiculous
[07:14] <graveson> how do i turn off utf-8 and what is the impact - anyone
[07:14] <neutrinomass> pepinito: Yes, gnoem 2.4.12 hit the repos ..
[07:14] <zielu> jest tu ktos z polski
[07:14] <siriusnova> tsmith - what is rediculous
[07:14] <chmod775> pepinito: Lol
[07:14] <pepinito> ok
[07:14] <tsmith> i cannot eevn get these nvidia drivers on here
[07:14] <] GoldenDragon> in what directory are the plugins found for firefox?
[07:14] <_rodney> tsmith: you will in the end then... so you may as well stop wasting time...
[07:14] <siriusnova> tsmith - nvidia drivers are easy
[07:14] <aMit--> neutrinomass, Couldn't display "/etc/sudoers".
[07:14] <siriusnova> rodney - shut up
[07:14] <_rodney> lol
[07:15] <siriusnova> ill help you tsmith
[07:15] <Scorpmoon> http://digg.com/software/Why_hasn_t_Linux_made_it_mainstream_on_the_desktop_
[07:15] <tsmith> this is 64 bit edition i think its asking me to go back to a older linux image kernal
[07:15] <garryfre> I'd just reboot, choose the old kernel from grub, and then carefully remove the new kernel entry in /boot/grub/grub.lst because if the nvidia drivers are not there, something fubar
[07:15] <tsmith> in order to install this driver..
[07:15] <Courtlandj> I have a bluetooth problem, y'all. I have a Bluetooth keyboard, and it's already discovered and set up. I'm typing on it now, as a matter of fact. However, it only behaves when I discover it by doing a: `sudo hidd --search`. If I just start typing on it, the computer will detect the keyboard BUT I will get the repeating key problem. Pressing "A" will leave "AAAAAAAAAAA" on my screen.
[07:15] <neutrinomass> aMit--: Yes, sorry, my bad. You need sudo in the first place to view that file. Did you select "expert" mode ?
[07:15] <neutrinomass> aMit--: During installation, that is.
[07:15] <aMit--> Nope
[07:15] <Nikyo> firestarter is nice :-)
[07:15] <siriusnova> tsmith - your running ubuntu 6.06 64 bit?
[07:15] <dylan_> Must all software be open source?  Why is open better than proprietary?
[07:15] <tsmith> yep
[07:15] <Courtlandj> Anybody with any bluetooth experience?
[07:15] <neutrinomass> aMit--: Does the file exist or did you get permission denied ?
[07:16] <neutrinomass> dylan_: Please discuss this in #ubuntu-offtopic. :)
[07:16] <Courtlandj> dylan_: Because then anybody can fix it.
[07:16] <Zambezi> Can anybody help me importing my files from Thunderbird Windows too Thunderbird Linux?
[07:16] <siriusnova> tsmith - you dont really need to run 64 bit
[07:16] <garryfre> Ouch, I had that problem. I had to take my keyboard, and jump up and down on it to fix the problem.
[07:16] <aMit--> It exists with a red X on the top right corner of the icon
[07:16] <_rodney> dylan_: coz you can change os code and compile and it and release it etc... nothing you can do with prop code legally...
[07:16] <tsmith> i have a 64bit cpu so i figured why not. heh
[07:16] <siriusnova> just run 32bit - a lot of software still has issues with 64 bit linux
[07:16] <siriusnova> and its not as "automatic" as 32 bit yet
[07:16] <siriusnova> ie - drivers etc..
[07:16] <graveson> how do i turn off utf-8 and what is the impact - anyone
[07:16] <siriusnova> tsmith - you wont see that much of a difference unless you have like gobs of ram
[07:16] <tsmith> i just need to know the cmd to change my linux kernal..
[07:17] <tsmith> i used to know it i been outta linux for a while
[07:17] <] GoldenDragon> when installing plugins for firefox, where are the files usually stored?
[07:17] <bingogu> how do find back my rubish bin in the tasktray,i just deleted it in a mistake
[07:17] <tsmith> i had to go thru the method myself b4 even in 32bit ubuntu.
[07:17] <Courtlandj> graveson: It's just a matter of locales, if you'd rather use iso-8859-1 instead of UTF8, you can.
[07:17] <tsmith> so i know it cannot possibly be that hard
[07:17] <siriusnova> tsmith - do this open synaptic
[07:17] <neutrinomass> aMit--: Ok, then do as I told you. Restart, boot into rescue mode. "nano -w /etc/group". Add your username to the "admin" group.. ctrl+x to exit nano (save the changes). Restart. Sudo must work ...
[07:17] <tsmith> i am seeing everything i am familiar with
[07:17] <Stork> is it possible to get lm_sensors working with an nForce4 motherboard on dapper with the 2.6 kernel?
[07:17] <aMit--> and then when sudo works?
[07:17] <tsmith> then what?
[07:17] <siriusnova> From the main menubar open System --> Administration -> Synaptic
[07:17] <garryfre> tsmith: The old kernels should still be available via grub/lilo
[07:17] <graveson> courtlandj: i just need to change it temporarily ,how do i do this
[07:18] <siriusnova> tsmith - you still have the old kernel installed?
[07:18] <neutrinomass> aMit--: Then you will be able to create a new user and fix the mess in the old one (something broke badly)
[07:18] <aMit--> be able, how?
[07:18] <tsmith> i have no idea i just did a fresh install of ubuntu
[07:18] <tsmith> i wanna get 3d going
[07:18] <siriusnova> tsmith - ok what's your video card?
[07:18] <Courtlandj> graveson: I've never tried, but I think if you do a `dpkg-reconfigure base-install` ?
[07:18] <tsmith> 6800 pci-e
[07:19] <neutrinomass> aMit--: Well, it depends on a number of things. Getting sudo fixed should be your first priority. Then you can ask again in this channel (if I am not around somebody else will help you) :)
[07:19] <siriusnova> and tell me your kernel version with "uname -a" in a terminal
[07:19] <aMit--> alrighty, brb then
[07:19] <tsmith> Linux tsmith 2.6.15-25-amd64-generic #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jun 14 11:28:03 UTC 2006 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[07:19] <siriusnova> hmm ok
[07:19] <graveson> courtlandj: thanks
[07:19] <abo> is it possible to have 2 files with the same name in the same directory in linux?
[07:19] <siriusnova> tsmith - so you have X running right now and can use gnome right?
[07:19] <siriusnova> u just want 3D acceleration
[07:19] <tsmith> yep
[07:20] <siriusnova> ok
[07:20] <apokryphos> abo: no
[07:20] <siriusnova> lemme go t nvidia's website, gimme a sec
[07:20] <siriusnova> to
[07:20] <Courtlandj> tsmith: You want to enable the restricted repositories
[07:20] <siriusnova> yeah that too
[07:20] <Stork> is it possible to get lm_sensors working with an nForce4 motherboard on dapper with the 2.6 kernel?
[07:20] <tsmith> how to do that? and why? is taht gonna install the drivers...
[07:20] <Courtlandj> tsmith: Yes, and you do that by editing /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:21] <garryfre> With my dapper I found the restricted already enabled by default.
[07:21] <siriusnova> Courtlandj - thats the hard way
[07:21] <siriusnova> heh
[07:21] <tsmith> =o
[07:21] <tsmith> no need for that then
[07:21] <siriusnova> in Synaptic you can go to "settings" and "repositories"
[07:21] <Courtlandj> Well fine.  =)
[07:21] <siriusnova> and enable all of them
[07:21] <siriusnova> included restricted i believe :P
[07:22] <cappiz> is there a way i can clean up my hdd auto? like it removes files not needed etc... ?
[07:22] <Courtlandj> Yeah, do what sirius says, I always forget that some ppl use synaptic!  =)
[07:22] <abo> apokryphos, I have 2 files with the same name in the same directory, I can't understand how it's happening
[07:22] <garryfre> Even the repository that says "I'm the programs your mother warned you about!"
[07:22] <apokryphos> abo: perhaps one is a directory and not a file?
[07:22] <Courtlandj> tsmith: Anyway, enable those restricted repositiories in Synaptic...
[07:23] <abo> ah got it, one is .JPG and the other is .jpg (just the case is different)
[07:23] <siriusnova> then install the linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-25
[07:23] <siriusnova> package
[07:23] <Courtlandj> tsmith: first, go to edit -> reload package information
[07:24] <bingogu> oh no
[07:24] <garryfre> No searching for thematching nvidia module?
[07:24] <Bassetts> what is the easiest way to transfer files from my pc to a remote pc over ssh??
[07:24] <roryy> scp or sftp
[07:24] <siriusnova> actually since i dont have an nvidia card perhaps someone who has one can help tsmith as im not sure of the exact process to install the nvidia driver through synaptic
[07:24] <wsjunior> hello guys. im having some troubles with my ati card. it is an ati x200. i installed the xorg-driver-fglrx following the wiki instructions and after reboot the laptop i cant enter in gnome anymore. after typing the login and password at gdm the laptop freezes and i have to restart. i just can use gnome if i comment out the load dri line at xorg.conf. could anybody help me?
[07:24] <Courtlandj> tsmith: That will get you the latest list of what is available in the restricted repositories.
[07:25] <garryfre> This is what always worked for me .... https://wiki.kubuntu.org/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia?highlight=%28nvidia%29
[07:25] <garryfre> It works for ubuntu too
[07:25] <tsmith> goddddd
[07:25] <tsmith> deja vuu of crap
[07:25] <aMit--> neut, I was in that file already
[07:25] <bingogu> somebody help me to get back the rubbish bin on the taskbar
[07:25] <Courtlandj> tsmith: Then you can just download the nvidia kernel module.
[07:26] <tsmith> msg me
[07:26] <tsmith> all this text is giving me a headache
[07:26] <Bassetts> roryy, how do i use scp?
[07:26] <siriusnova> lol
[07:26] <tsmith> and im about to throw my monitor
[07:26] <lastnode> anyone got ubuntu working on a macbook?
[07:26] <siriusnova> tsmith - its not that hard :P
[07:26] <siriusnova> Courtlandj - you wanna help him? im kinda busy atm
[07:26] <siriusnova> :)
[07:26] <roryy> bingogu: right-click on the panel, and choose 'Add to panel' -- in the dialog that pops up you'll see the 'recycle bin'
[07:26] <Courtlandj> siriusnova: Sure
[07:26] <Chri[s] > Where can i learn about X forwording
[07:27] <roryy> Bassetts: scp thefile user@host:/path/to/destination
[07:27] <kain> can anyone help me add Apple partition map support to my ubuntu kernel?
[07:27] <Bassetts> ok roryy
[07:27] <Stork> is it possible to get lm_sensors working with an nForce4 motherboard on dapper with the 2.6 kernel?
[07:27] <wsjunior> hello guys. im having some troubles with my ati card. it is an ati x200. i installed the xorg-driver-fglrx following the wiki instructions and after reboot the laptop i cant enter in gnome anymore. after typing the login and password at gdm the laptop freezes and i have to restart. i just can use gnome if i comment out the load dri line at xorg.conf. could anybody help me? my card is an VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc ATI Radeon X
[07:27] <garryfre> Oh ho!! Now I understand. Other day I was in this game, and I was frustrated with a bug and everyone thought I was snapping at them when I wasn't.  Now I understand.
[07:27] <roryy> Bassetts: i believe sftp is easier/better, but i usually use scp.  I think you can also use Nautilus for this: try Places -> Connect to server
[07:28] <tsmith> sigh...
[07:28] <Bassetts> scp works, thanks
[07:28] <ic56> kain: are Apple partitions HFS?
[07:28] <tsmith> u know what forget it...
[07:28] <tsmith> i am done
[07:28] <kain> ic56, yes, or HFSplus I think
[07:28] <siriusnova> wsjunior - what kind of card is it again?
[07:28] <Courtlandj> Well sheesh
[07:28] <garryfre> I know ye are not snapping at me.  Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[07:29] <wsjunior> siriusnova: VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M 5955 (PCIE)
[07:29] <Courtlandj> I was trying to help the guy in /msg like he asked, he just didn't respond.
[07:29] <garryfre> Frustration, it can drive anyone nuts.
[07:29] <siriusnova> hmm k gimme a sec
[07:29] <ic56> kain: point your browser to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Page down to "Instructions", and read till the next blank line.  Follow the instructions to save and run the file.  It will setup your /etc/fstab and mountpoints in /media so you can see your NTFS filesystems in Places> Computer.
[07:29] <Courtlandj> Ya
[07:29] <ic56> kain: The script will ask you if you want to enable NTFS write.  Answer no.  If you already tried unsuccessfully to add your Windows filesystems to /etc/fstab , add a -b flag to the script invocation.  I authored this version, so I can help if anything goes wrong.
[07:29] <Courtlandj> Installing the nvidia driver could be easier, that's for sure. So I guess I don't blame him.
[07:29] <kain> ic56, thanks a bunch
[07:29] <wsjunior> siriusnova: ok. thank you.
[07:30] <garryfre> Yeah, in breezy, it all just auto installed, it was so nice, even a caveman could do it in his sleep.
[07:30] <erik_> hi all , has anyone got doom 3 running on ubuntu 6.06 ?
[07:30] <garryfre> Yeah, I don't blame him either.
[07:30] <_rodney> i blame ubuntu upgrade rush :P
[07:31] <ic56> kain: the HFS side of this script doesn't get exercised as much as the NTFS side, so I'd very much appreciate feedback -- did all go well?  Suggestions for improvement, clarification of instructions, etc.
[07:31] <Bassetts> is it possible to upload more than one file at a time using scp/
[07:31] <Courtlandj> On the other hand, I got Dapper, the nvidia driver, Xgl + compiz up and running on an HDTV as a monitor in one evening.
[07:31] <Courtlandj> Two or three hours max.
[07:32] <garryfre> Wow!
[07:32] <siriusnova> wsjunior - are you using Ubuntu 6.06 ?
[07:32] <uliba> hi I have a laptop and when it is booting or switching to a terminal (with ctr-alt-1) I get a black screen. X-enviroment works perfect is any boot parameters to stop using the framebuffer or an alternative console resolution?
[07:32] <wsjunior> siriusnova: yes.
[07:32] <siriusnova> http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Dapper_Installation_Guide
[07:32] <siriusnova> wsjunior - check that and see if you deviated from anything
[07:33] <walkover> does anyone know a good program to list and manage wireless accespoints?
[07:33] <wsjunior> siriusnova: no i didnt. i read that more than 30 times just today :/
[07:33] <siriusnova> walkover - you mean to coonncet to?
[07:33] <walkover> yeah
[07:33] <kain> ic56, where do I get the file diskmounter?  or do I find it on the archive?
[07:33] <walkover> i mean managing the list :D
[07:33] <siriusnova> walkover - NetworkManager and its applet
[07:33] <walkover> ok thanks
[07:33] <ic56> kain: are you at the URL?
[07:34] <kain> ic56, yes
[07:34] <Courtlandj> uliba: I have never used a laptop on linux before, but the first thing I would try is getting rid of any `vga=791` (or whatever number) from your grub list.
[07:34] <ic56> Kain: that *is* the file.  Just save-as in your browser.
[07:34] <siriusnova> wsjunior hmm okay post your /var/log/Xorg.0.log on pastebin.com
[07:34] <z3r0x> hi @ all
[07:34] <wsjunior> siriusnova: ok.
[07:34] <z3r0x> does somebody know how to run root-tail on gnome'
[07:34] <aMit--> how can I edit my user's access using sudo?
[07:34] <uliba> Courtlandj, cool i'll check the grub list!
[07:34] <kain> ic56, oh!  just save it as a txt file and all?
[07:34] <uliba> thanks!
[07:34] <iiiears> kain - winmac_fstab.sh is an earlier version does the same thing   seveas.ubuntulinux.nl
[07:34] <ic56> kain: yes
[07:34] <gdb> aMit--: Your user's access?  What are you wanting to change?
[07:35] <DoctorMO> hey all
[07:35] <aMit--> erm I want all the access a user should get when installing a fresh copy of ubuntu
[07:35] <aMit--> for some reason i've lost it all
[07:35] <DoctorMO> I got my mum a new computer (well built)
[07:35] <aMit--> i can sudo now tough
[07:35] <aMit--> though
[07:35] <Kazukisan> Okay currently i have Windows XP On my system whats the best way of not messing up The windows partition and installing linux ?
[07:35] <brosio> anyone known if there is a script or program in apt that automactly download and INSTALL security updates and mail to the localhost that updates ?
[07:35] <ubunt1> i installed 6.06 . i had 3 dvds with repositories (with breezy) .can i use them now?
[07:36] <Courtlandj> Kazukisan: Do you have a second hard drive?
[07:36] <wsjunior> siriusnova: http://pastebin.com/715085
[07:36] <Kazukisan> Courtlandj. unfort not
[07:36] <siriusnova> ubunt1 - if they are from breezy, then no
[07:36] <Courtlandj> Kazukisan: Do you have any free -unpartitioned- space on your hard drive?
[07:36] <DoctorMO> but I forgot that I ordered an ATI 3D card, so now I have all the fun of setting it up... I have followed the ubuntu guide but my results where different.
[07:36] <Toge> hello
[07:36] <gdb> aMit--: System -> Admininstration -> Users and Groups should give you a number of settings to change.  Select your user, click Properties, select the User privleges tab and click everything other than Send and receive faxes and Use tape drives, and that's the default privs that a new *administrative* user has.
[07:36] <wsjunior> siriusnova: im on gnome right now because i commented out the load dri line.
[07:36] <kain> ic56, gives me the message "diskmounter: No new Windows/Mac partitions found"
[07:36] <Toge> i need a program like Alcohol 120%, do you know one?
[07:37] <ubunt1> siriusnova: what is the diference ? i had installed then KDE (for example) . KDE has not changed , can't i install it now with the same dvds?
[07:37] <kain> ic56, *looks down*  I wonder if I have the hard drive plugged in correctly...
[07:37] <aMit--> thats the thing, i cant see that option in the administration menu
[07:37] <gdb> aMit--: (the account that is created for you when you install the system is an administrative user)
[07:37] <Kazukisan> Courtlandj: basicly thats the problem im not sure about, there is only one patition so what i need to figure out how to do is to make the windows one smaller and then put linux on the extra free space i freed up.
[07:37] <Courtlandj> Toge: Are you trying to mount an .iso file without burning it?
[07:37] <siriusnova> ubunt1 - in general for Dapper use dapper repositories because of dependency issues etc..
[07:37] <Toge> Courtlandj, yes
[07:37] <b0rg> anyone got a min to answer a few questions in a pm for me?
[07:37] <siriusnova> wsjunior kk
[07:37] <gdb> aMit--: Then run "gksudo users-admin"
[07:37] <ic56> kain: use the -b option, like the instructions said.  The script is cautious and, unless you explicitly ask it too with -b, it will assume your existing entries in /etc/fstab are to be left alone.
[07:37] <Toge> Courtlandj, but i have a .mds/.mdf too
[07:37] <gdb> aMit--: That runs the utility from the command line as root.
[07:37] <aMit--> ok
[07:37] <Courtlandj> Kazukisan: I see. That's easier said than done! Depending on what files you have on that hard drive, it may not be possible to resize.
[07:38] <ubunt1> siriusnova : ok thx!
[07:38] <ic56> kain: too -> to
[07:38] <aMit--> weird, now it said i'm not in the sudoers file
[07:38] <Kazukisan> Courtlandj: okay thanks i got an idea.
[07:38] <siriusnova> wsjunior - looks like your missing the kernel module
[07:38] <ic56> kain: yeah, if the other drive isn't plugged in, the script won't find it :-)
[07:38] <siriusnova> wsjunior print me the output of "uname -a"
[07:38] <siriusnova> in a terminal
[07:39] <wsjunior> siriusnova: ok
[07:39] <gdb> aMit--: If that's the case, then you need to boot to single user mode, edit /etc/group to add yourself to group 'admin' and then boot back to multiuser.  At the prompt when booting, hit ESC to get to grub and select (system recovery) or whatever the name of the option is with the parenthetical.
[07:39] <wsjunior> siriusnova: Linux wsjunior-laptop 2.6.15-25-386 #1 PREEMPT Wed Jun 14 11:25:49 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
[07:39] <MetaMorfoziS> what i need to know about a dvd writer (external) to 100% work with linux?
[07:39] <aMit--> how can I add myself to a group
[07:39] <siriusnova> wsjunior - did you start having problems after the updates?
[07:39] <kain> ic56, I think I need to play with the jumpers again, though I could've sworn I had it right
[07:39] <kain> ic56, brb
[07:39] <wsjunior> siriusnova: no.
[07:39] <ic56> kain: ok
[07:39] <wsjunior> siriusnova: never worked
[07:39] <Courtlandj> Toge: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountIso?highlight=%28mount%29%7C%28iso%29
[07:40] <siriusnova> wsjunior - hmm ok
[07:40] <b0rg> anyone got a min to answer a few questions for me? pm me.
[07:40] <Courtlandj> Toge: It's easy to mount an .iso file as if it were in a CDROM/DVDROM drive.
[07:40] <Courtlandj> Toge: No programs like Alcohol are needed
[07:40] <gdb> aMit--: Edit the file with nano (nano /etc/group) and edit the line that says admin to read "admin:x:112:your_user_name" (where you put in your own account name).  Then hit ctrl-x to exit and save the file.  Then at the # prompt (where you'll be again) type "exit" to boot multiuser again.
[07:40] <Healot> mount -t iso9660 -o lo
[07:41] <aMit--> ok thanks brb then
[07:41] <siriusnova> wsjunior - by which process did you install the fglrx driver?
[07:41] <gdb> aMit--: You'll do that editing after booting to single user mode (the system recovery option in GRUB that you get if you hit ESC while the machine is booting, before it gets to the splash screen).
[07:41] <wsjunior> siriusnova: there are other complains at that link about related laptops. -->     *  Ubuntu FGLRX drivers 8.25.18, do not work properly on the dv5029us (Radeon Xpress 200M) as of this writing (5/30/2006). It is needed to revert to 8.24.8 for this specific computer in order to get proper 3D acceleration, and 2D with no tearing off.
[07:41] <wsjunior> [edit]
[07:41] <wsjunior> siriusnova: following the wiki instructions.
[07:41] <siriusnova> wsjunior - then try he older driver
[07:41] <siriusnova> that might be the problem
[07:41] <siriusnova> ati's linux drivers are notoriously buggy
[07:41] <Sivik> how do i find an eap editor
[07:42] <wsjunior> siriusnova: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#head-5ead174a0b3294527486cd4d71ded66b40003f25
[07:42] <Toge> Courtlandj, but, is it posibble to mount a mdf image?
[07:42] <Lens> do you guys operate mostly as root or as an account under root?
[07:42] <MetaMorfoziS> So i want to buy Plextor px-750UF, how can i check ubuntu supports it? What parameters i need
[07:42] <wsjunior> siriusnova: how?
[07:42] <MetaMorfoziS> ?
[07:43] <iiiears> Native wifi support is comming! Native WiFi support is comming! http://www.digg.com/linux_unix/Linux_WiFi_Leaps_Forward - finally
[07:43] <MetaMorfoziS> ^^ is a dvd writer
[07:43] <Courtlandj> Toge: Maybe, maybe not. I know things other than .iso can be mounted, but they require additional steps. I have mounted a .bin/.cue before, and I think I read that Nero images can also be mounted.
[07:43] <alexcamilo> I installed ubuntu 6.06 on a compaq prestario 1700t and i am experiencing random crashes. the mouse refuses to respond and it just sits there.
[07:43] <alexcamilo> any logs that i could look at?
[07:43] <Courtlandj> Toge: Try searching Google for things like "mount iso mdf linux" and maybe someone has accomplished it.
[07:43] <oediv> anyone ever used pptp vpn client? (with pon?)
[07:44] <gdb> Lens: One should not run as the root user by default, and in fact, the root account is disabled in Ubuntu at installation.  You use sudo to access command line root and gksudo to access GUI root.  You can get a root shell with either 'sudo -i' (similar to su -l) or 'sudo -s' (similar to just plain su).
[07:44] <Madpilot> MetaMorfoziS, standard drives & burners should all just work
[07:44] <Courtlandj> Toge: In the case of .bin/.cue and Nero images, I think some additional programs are needed, but nothing you probably can't locate with apt-get install or Synaptic.
[07:44] <Toge> Im going, Courtlandj , but alcohol 120% is needed
[07:44] <theine> @find nadine-j
[07:44] <Lens> gdb: Ok, is it ok to have a seperate root account set up?
[07:44] <wsjunior> siriusnova: how could i get the old driver?
[07:44] <Healot> !info bchunk
[07:44] <wsjunior> siriusnova: to try
[07:44] <ubotu> bchunk: (CD image format conversion from bin/cue to iso/cdr), section universe/otherosfs, is optional. Version: 1.2.0-1 (dapper), Packaged size: 12 kB, Installed size: 68 kB
[07:45] <Healot> !info nrg2iso
[07:45] <ubotu> nrg2iso: (Extracts ISO9660 data from Nero ".nrg" files), section universe/otherosfs, is optional. Version: 0.4-1.1 (dapper), Packaged size: 4 kB, Installed size: 64 kB
[07:45] <siriusnova> wsjunior - http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Dapper_Installation_Guide#Method_2:_Generating.2FInstalling_Ubuntu_packages_for_the_8.25.18_drivers_in_Ubuntu_Dapper_Manually
[07:45] <aMit--> gdb, thanks, that fixed everything!
[07:45] <siriusnova> just find the older driver on the ati website
[07:45] <MetaMorfoziS> Madpilot i want to make sure it 100%, if i buy it and it not supports.......
[07:45] <Courtlandj> Toge: The first thing I searched for gave me: mount image.mdf /wheretomount -o loop=/dev/loop0
[07:45] <siriusnova> and revert back to the x.org driver in part 3
[07:46] <mhb_cze> hello channel
[07:46] <siriusnova> http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Dapper_Installation_Guide#Revert_to_Xorg_driver
[07:46] <Madpilot> MetaMorfoziS, I'd be very very surprised if a regular burner didn't just work
[07:46] <siriusnova> revert first
[07:46] <siriusnova> then install the 8.25.8 driver
[07:46] <Healot> IDE burners should work
[07:46] <MetaMorfoziS> not ide , external... because i have laptop
[07:46] <siriusnova> oh and before you install the 8.25.8 after you have reverted to x.org use synaptic to remove the fglrx driver
[07:46] <MetaMorfoziS> http://reviews-zdnet.com.com/Plextor_PX_750UF_DVD_RW_R_DL_DVD_RAM_drive_Hi_Speed_USB_IEEE_1394_FireWire/4852-6407_16-31827931.html?tag=sub
[07:46] <MetaMorfoziS> ^^ this is that i want...
[07:47] <siriusnova> so you dont have any remaining drivers on the system that could cause problems before the install
[07:47] <mihec87> hi ppl could enyone help me..
[07:47] <Toge> but with alcohol is easier, i always used it
[07:47] <siriusnova> mihec87 - with what?
[07:47] <Toge> okay, im going to mount a mdf, good bye Courtlandj and thanks
[07:47] <mihec87> i stuck hier when i install-ing amonrak
[07:47] <CaptChekov> there is a mdf2iso
[07:47] <Courtlandj> Heh. "Some windows program".
[07:47] <alexcamilo> any reasons why gnome would freeze? i ran memtest86 and my memory passed. i checked messages but there isnt any entry in the log at the time the comp crashed.
[07:47] <Lens> I'm trying to have a secure installation: I have an administrator account set up in which I wouldn't use gaim or email... then a 'play' account where I would keep everything personal and use all aliases, but no admin privalegde, and then a work account, same as play except no interaction with personal.  is that good?
[07:48] <mihec87> http://www2.shrani.si/files/screensh653918.png look a picture
[07:48] <issy> ic56, well I don't get it, it's set to Device 1 (Slave), but it's not coming up at all
[07:48] <mhb_cze> Does anyone know if (and where) there is a SVG version of Ubuntu official web image http://www.ubuntu.com/htdocs/uw2/img/headerlogo.png ?
[07:48] <siriusnova> mihec87 - say again i dont understand
[07:48] <Courtlandj> Yeah, Chekov: I was about to say: do 'sudo apt-get install mdf2iso'
[07:48] <Courtlandj> Too bad he left!
[07:48] <jkernsjr> Whats the take on Automatix on Dapper?
[07:49] <siriusnova> gah we need separate ubuntu help channels for video, kernel etc..
[07:49] <mihec87> i have a problem with installing program Amonrak
[07:49] <ardchoille> !automatix
[07:49] <siriusnova> like #ubuntu-video #ubuntu-kernel etc..
[07:49] <siriusnova> everyone in in one channel atm and its kind of a pain to follow convos
[07:49] <siriusnova> heh
[07:49] <siriusnova> mihec87 - what's the problem specifically?
[07:49] <Madpilot> jkernsjr, same as the take on Automatix in earlier versions of Ubuntu: avoid it like the plague
[07:49] <Sashi> umm
[07:50] <mihec87> look these picture http://www2.shrani.si/files/screensh653918.png
[07:50] <Sashi> i got no sound in youtube
[07:50] <Sashi> :P
[07:50] <Sashi> how do i get sound XD
[07:50] <mihec87> it stucks here
[07:50] <jkernsjr> Madpilot: why do you say that? I installed it on one of my machines with no problem..that was breezy though
[07:50] <siriusnova> Sashi - you using firefox?
[07:50] <aMit--> Is there any guide out there to explain how to install NVIDIA drivers?
[07:50] <Sashi> yes
[07:50] <ardchoille> jkernsjr, IMHO, it's much better to learn to do those kind of things yourself.
[07:50] <jkernsjr> Madpilot: I read the same thing here before but wanted to check again
[07:51] <Courtlandj> Sashi: You will probably have no sound at all from anything that uses Macromedia Flash (like YouTube) while in your web browser. I assume you're using Firefox?
[07:51] <aMit--> !nvidia
[07:51] <ubotu> nvidia is, like, a graphics card manufacturer. For help about installing the Nvidia drivers on Ubuntu, you can visit the Ubuntu WIki at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[07:51] <Courtlandj> Oh, you already said you were. Duh.
[07:51] <Sashi> lol
[07:51] <jkernsjr> ardchoille: while I could do it myself its a pain and much eaiser to do it with some already made script
[07:51] <jkernsjr> why reinvent the wheel?
[07:51] <Madpilot> jkernsjr, Ax is still a mess, and still does things that better programmers/scripters consider dangerous in how it deals w/ your system
[07:51] <Sashi> so?
[07:51] <jkernsjr> Madpilot: thanks
[07:51] <Courtlandj> Sashi: There is a way to fix it, but it's slightly complicated.  =)
[07:51] <siriusnova> Sashi - there is a fix
[07:52] <siriusnova> its not really complicated
[07:52] <siriusnova> heh
[07:52] <siriusnova> it involves editing a text file and adding 1 line of text
[07:52] <jkernsjr> Madpilot: whats the take on easyubuntu?
[07:52] <ardchoille> Madpilot, Good explanation.. I'll have to remember that one :)
[07:52] <Sashi> lol
[07:52] <Sashi> and that line and text file is? XD
[07:52] <brosio> how could i set the .bash_history  to 10M ?
[07:52] <Courtlandj> Yeah? When I fixed it I had to shuffle some files and chmopd something...
[07:52] <siriusnova> Sashi - are you comfortable with a terminal?
[07:52] <Courtlandj> If there's an easier way, I'm all ears too.
[07:53] <Madpilot> jkernsjr, better & saner - but not finished yet. No idea if there's a Dapper version for eu yet
[07:53] <Sashi> yes
[07:53] <siriusnova> ok then "sudo aptitude install alsa-oss"
[07:53] <jkernsjr> Madpilot: If its so bad, why doesnt someone write something better?
[07:53] <wsjunior> siriusnova: im trying
[07:53] <earsnot> ran nessus , and this is the ouput. http://pastebin.com/715114. should I be concerned with the things outlined here, and more importantly should I specify other options while scanning.
[07:53] <earsnot> any help would be appreciated
[07:53] <Madpilot> jkernsjr, because the best way to install all that stuff is still manually?
[07:53] <BHSPitMonkey> is it reasonable to expect ubuntu (livecd) to freak out when there's two gfx adapters installed (one onboard, one AGP)
[07:53] <jkernsjr> are people too afaraid of the fact that this stuff isnt free?
[07:53] <witless> is there a definitive guide for xgl on dapper?
[07:53] <MetaMorfoziS> anbyody know a page about supported dvd writers?
[07:53] <MetaMorfoziS> witless: #ubuntu-xlg
[07:53] <mjr> MetaMorfoziS, pretty much any
[07:53] <MetaMorfoziS> witless: #ubuntu-xgl
[07:53] <zxc> Anyone know an alternative to MS Paint (or something to do Pixel Art with) on Ubuntu?
[07:53] <witless> thx
[07:53] <siriusnova> then after alsa-oss is installed
[07:54] <baldizzle> hey Im new to ubuntu and I wanted to figure out how to upgrade my breezy badger 5.10 to the latest version
[07:54] <siriusnova> sudo nano /etc/firefox/firefoxrc
[07:54] <jkernsjr> Madpilot: can you point me to some info on getting flash/mplayer/mp3/etc stuff installed manually..directions?
[07:54] <Sashi> and
[07:54] <witless> MetaMorfoziS: that channel is empty
[07:54] <siriusnova> and change change Firefox_dsp=none to "aoss"
[07:54] <siriusnova> and restart firefox
[07:54] <siriusnova> there
[07:54] <siriusnova> done :P
[07:54] <Madpilot> jkernsjr, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[07:54] <Sashi> :P tjx
[07:54] <Sashi> thx*
[07:54] <MetaMorfoziS> not xlg xgl
[07:54] <ardchoille> jkernsjr, most of that stuff is in the wiki, iirc.
[07:54] <siriusnova> np
[07:54] <baldizzle> can anyone help me?
[07:55] <Courtlandj> Wow, that's waaaaaaayyyyy easier than the stupid way I was doing it.
[07:55] <Courtlandj> =)
[07:55] <siriusnova> baldizzle - with what? state your problem and we will try
[07:55] <siriusnova> hehe :)
[07:55] <jkernsjr> baldizzle: hang on..ill have you a link in a sec
[07:55] <earsnot> baldizzle it should be sudo update-manager -d
[07:55] <baldizzle> I want to update to the latest version of ubuntu I have badger right now and update manager wont do it for me
[07:55] <mhb_cze> oh well ... I guess nobody heard me in this chaos :o)
[07:55] <baldizzle> haha I tried that
[07:55] <baldizzle> it just says no updates
[07:56] <paxl> is there a way from ubuntu live cd to make it install himself with the network ? [ since it alwasy crash at 71% of installation .. ]
[07:56] <b0rg> anyone got a min to answer a few questions for me? pm me.
[07:56] <earsnot> repositories maybe?
[07:56] <siriusnova> b0rg - just post in channel
[07:56] <siriusnova> we will try
[07:56] <siriusnova> as you can see its quite busy hehe
[07:56] <siriusnova> earsnot - yeah he probably needs to reset his repositories to dapper ones i think
[07:56] <sloncho> hi. running DD on smp machine. I have installed linux-686-smp package, reboot, and now I see in /proc/cpuinfo 2 processors, i.e. the smp kernel is running. but uname -r displays only 2.6.15-25-686, instead of 2.6.15-25-686-smp. What is wrong?
[07:56] <Zaph> hi everyone.
[07:56] <Zaph> I need help..
[07:57] <Sivik> Zaph: just ask your question, not saying you need help
[07:57] <siriusnova> sloncho - nothing
[07:57] <siriusnova> there
[07:57] <Zaph> I am planning on moving completely over to Ubuntu from Windows, but I don;t know how to set up my Vodacom 3g card, and my Belkin 802.11b card
[07:57] <siriusnova> NEXT
[07:57] <siriusnova> hehe
[07:57] <siriusnova> :)
[07:57] <Zaph> I am using a laptop
[07:57] <mihec87> ok i have a problem with installing Amonrak i go to add/remove aplications and then look for a program and double clicket and than start downloading 16 files
[07:57] <baldizzle> how do I change my repositories?
[07:57] <Sivik> Zaph: did you search those on google
[07:57] <siriusnova> mihec87 - thats normal
[07:57] <jkernsjr> baldizzle: didnt realize you were on badger
[07:57] <Zaph> I did, and I didn't really find anything useful
[07:57] <earsnot> sudo getit /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:57] <siriusnova> amarok needs to install different packages with it
[07:57] <Sivik> Zaph, such as Vodacom 3g ubuntu and belkin 802.11b ubuntu
[07:58] <earsnot> *gedit
[07:58] <baldizzle> yes Im using breezy badger
[07:58] <biaf> hi. my main xp drive gives me error at boot 'GRUB Hard Disk Error' any idea how to get this back to boot into xp again
[07:58] <Sivik> Zaph: go search in the www.ubuntu-forums.org
[07:58] <siriusnova> it wont install JUST amarok
[07:58] <Zaph> not like that.. lemme try that...
[07:58] <siriusnova> it will install amarok + libraries + codecs etc..
[07:58] <sloncho> siriusnova: reading some tutorial for mithtv for breeze, the example they give is, that uname -r should return -smp.
[07:58] <baldizzle> it looks like my only repository is the ubuntu cd
[07:58] <earsnot> siriusnova lol it sounds like you were expecting slackware
[07:58] <Sivik> baldizzle, you can edit your repos
[07:58] <Sivik> !tell baldizzle about repos
[07:58] <Sivik> baldizzle, check your pm
[07:58] <mihec87> yes i know but when finish downloading yust stopped  and saying downloading file 16/16
[07:58] <sloncho> siriusnova: so there is some change for DD?
[07:59] <siriusnova> sloncho hmm but you see 2 cpus recognized right?
[07:59] <Courtlandj> sloncho: Ubuntu kernels do have SMP support even though they don't necessarily have -smp at the end of their version name.
[07:59] <baldizzle> thank you sivik
[07:59] <quakie> baldizzle:https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades?action=show&redirect=DapperUpgradeNotes
[07:59] <siriusnova> if you installed the smp kernel and booted the smp kernel you should get the smp kernel
[07:59] <Bassetts> how can i transfer a whole file using sftp?
[07:59] <siriusnova> uname -a is probably being retarded
[07:59] <Zaph> cool Sivik... Lemme check there, and If I dont; come right, I'll cone back here.
[07:59] <Zaph> cheers
[07:59] <mihec87> but the files are downloaded all 16 files 100%
[07:59] <Bassetts> how can i transfer a whole folder* using sftp?
[07:59] <earsnot> siriusnova tell me what you think of this http://pastebin.com/715114
[07:59] <sloncho> Courtlandj: this is not exactly true. after the initial install it showed only one CPU. I needed to instal linux-686-smp package in order to get smp
[08:00] <dooglus> Bassetts: use the -r flag
[08:00] <Bassetts> thanks dooglus
[08:00] <Courtlandj> sloncho: true
[08:00] <siriusnova> earsnot - im not a nessus expert
[08:00] <siriusnova> mihec87 - bad connection maybe?
[08:00] <pestilence> i am trying to run find_orphans.php in gallery1, and it tries to download instead of executing.  any ideas?
[08:01] <Chri[s] > k3b burns slow
[08:01] <Chri[s] > 47%
[08:01] <earsnot> siriusnova thanks anyway
[08:01] <pestilence> everything else works fine as far as php goes
[08:01] <sloncho> siriusnova: yes, I see 2 CPU. but now I need kernel-sources package and headers, and I do not know what to use. in that  tutorial the use -smp headers, but because their uname -r shows smp. now what?
[08:01] <aMit--> Why can't I change my resolution for more then 1024*700 and the refresh rate to more then 60?
[08:01] <siriusnova> mihec87 - click the "show process of single files"
[08:01] <Bassetts> dooglus "invalid flag -r"
[08:01] <apokryphos> aMit--: have you checked the FAQ?
[08:01] <siriusnova> mihec87 - it should tell you if a package isnt being installed etc..
[08:01] <aMit--> nop
[08:01] <siriusnova> or where its hanging
[08:01] <aMit--> will do
[08:01] <siriusnova> sloncho - use smp headers then
[08:01] <apokryphos> :)
[08:02] <earsnot> anyone here a nessus guru ? "tackle" this http://pastebin.com/715114
[08:02] <jkernsjr> baldizzle: check this out http://daniel.holba.ch/blog/?p=14
[08:02] <Courtlandj> If you ask for smp headers, I think it will grab the other headers it needs as well.
[08:02] <dooglus> Bassetts: I guess I'm thinking of scp, not sftp, sorry.
[08:02] <siriusnova> Courtlandj - it should
[08:02] <Bassetts> works in scp thanks =)
[08:02] <Healot> earsnot: the host is pretty safe
[08:03] <earsnot> Hwalot I didnt enable any of the slackware checks or any other distro stuff. should I have?
[08:03] <Toge> hi again
[08:03] <MetaMorfoziS> HAve anybody any experience about plextor px-750uf? [ http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/storage/display/plextor-px750uf.html ]
[08:03] <Courtlandj> Hey, I have a question. Something I was never satisfied with back in my Debian days (am I an Ubuntu convert? hehe.) was a good ftp server. Are there any ftp servers that are fairly easy to setup? I don't need uber security...
[08:03] <MetaMorfoziS> i want to know it supported or not:)
[08:03] <rverrips> Hiyee - Simple question (Sorry) but how do I "drag" application launcher icons from the menu onto the panel in XFCE / Xubuntu?
[08:03] <Toge> do you know a program to whatch TV? I have a pci
[08:03] <dooglus> rverrips: you don't, I don't think
[08:04] <siriusnova> Courtlandj - bftpd, proftpd ?
[08:04] <bcl> Courtlandj, Its not distribution spcific, but I have always used ncftpd from Mike Gleason.
[08:04] <siriusnova> or just plain ftpd :P
[08:04] <siriusnova> or ncftpd
[08:04] <siriusnova> heh
[08:04] <rverrips> Toga: Thanks, so how do I get app's on the panel?
[08:04] <bcl> Courtlandj, its free for a 50 user version.
[08:04] <bcl> Courtlandj, oops, make that 5 I think.
[08:04] <Healot> earsnot: those open ports have risk factor at most low... nothing to worry
[08:04] <dooglus> rverrips: you add a 'launcher' and specify the program and icon yourself
[08:04] <Courtlandj> siriusnova: (and bcl) I had tried scftpd I think, and it was so secure I had problems setting it up.  =p
[08:04] <biaf> anyone know how to make 'grub hardisk error' go back to booting windows xp, rewrite boot sector? with xp?
[08:05] <Courtlandj> Thanks for the tip, I will check 'em out.
[08:05] <earsnot> Healot should I specify any other options when scanning
[08:05] <Healot> btw, i believe most ports are for localhost use, except that SMTP service running...
[08:05] <bcl> Courtlandj, there are good reasons for that :) ftp can be extremely dangerous in the wrong hands :)
[08:05] <DoctorMO> damn I've added the non-free source to my sources.list but when I do an update it says Ign
[08:05] <dooglus> biaf: something like "fdisk/mbr" I think
[08:05] <DoctorMO> can anyone help?
[08:05] <biaf> i'll try that thx
[08:05] <Healot> earsnot: if it serves your purpose
[08:05] <Courtlandj> bcl: Yeah, I know!   =)
[08:06] <Dreamglider> MetaMorfoziS, is's a external drive if you hook it up to usb it shuold work fine
[08:06] <earsnot> xlol
[08:06] <MetaMorfoziS> 100%?
[08:06] <MetaMorfoziS> :))
[08:07] <paxl> is ther a way to write a cd from ubuntu live cd ?
[08:07] <Dreamglider> MetaMorfoziS, i would think so yes. but i cant be 100%
[08:07] <Bassetts> when i try to run a .sh file using sudo i get bash: run.sh: command not found
[08:07] <ubuntujeroen> Hello all
[08:07] <earsnot> healot not to badger you, but how to I turn off sntp
[08:07] <ubuntujeroen> whats up
[08:07] <Kirill> Could anyone help me, I'm trying to boot up the Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Live CD to install it, but it hangs on Configuring Some Drivers and stays like that. Is the problem because of my motherboard or what? Please help.
[08:07] <siriusnova> Bassets - what are you typing to run the sh file
[08:07] <MetaMorfoziS> ok Dreamglider i go back google, but thx
[08:07] <dooglus> Bassetts: "sudo bash /path/to/run.sh"
[08:07] <Dreamglider> paxl, yea with k3b
[08:07] <Healot> earsnot: find out what application serves the service
[08:08] <siriusnova> or just "./sh run.sh" in the directory of the file
[08:08] <siriusnova> :P
[08:08] <edlang> I'm having difficulty building wine from source on AMD64, using Ubuntu 6.06.
[08:08] <earsnot> Healot il look into it thanks
[08:08] <Bassetts> dooglus bash: /home/jason/logobot/run.sh: No such file or directory
[08:08] <Kirill> Could anyone help me, I'm trying to boot up the Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Live CD to install it, but it hangs on Configuring Some Drivers and stays like that. Is the problem because of my motherboard or what? Please help.
[08:08] <edlang> I get the error, ../../include/winnls.h:758: warning: __stdcall__ attribute ignored
[08:08] <Dreamglider> MetaMorfoziS, i have never had any trouble getting USB drives to work in Ubuntu
[08:08] <dooglus> siriusnova: he wants to run it as root
[08:08] <dooglus> Bassetts: you have to use the correct path to the file
[08:08] <Healot> Exim >> earsnot...
[08:08] <siriusnova> dooglus - ok then "sudo sh ./run.sh "
[08:08] <Bassetts> sure do
[08:08] <siriusnova> heh
[08:08] <edlang> And similar. Has anyone else experienced that?
[08:08] <earsnot> turn off exim... how?
[08:08] <MetaMorfoziS> detto... but it's too expensive for i buy and it not supported...:D
[08:08] <dooglus> siriusnova: right.  that's what I said
[08:09] <Dreamglider> MetaMorfoziS, they just work (for me atleast, and i'm a newbie when it comes to linux)
[08:09] <siriusnova> dooglus - oh ok sorry hehe im split between 3 channels atm
[08:09] <P3L|C4N0> hi people
[08:09] <Celeste> hi
[08:09] <siriusnova> edlang - sorry maybe ask in #wine ?
[08:09] <MetaMorfoziS> detto:D
[08:09] <Dreamglider> MetaMorfoziS,  yea i agree  better safe then sorry
[08:09] <earsnot> healot id use bum right?
[08:09] <edlang> On which IRC network?
[08:09] <Healot> you may either remove exim or turn the service off...
[08:09] <Celeste> what is the right number in cfdisk for a NTFS partitin which can be used for Windows XP please_
[08:09] <biaf> dooglus?
[08:09] <Frogzoo> edlang: #winehq
[08:09] <Celeste> I just need to partition it for 2 systems
[08:09] <dooglus> biaf: ?
[08:09] <siriusnova> edlang - should be a wine channel here, check the winehq.com web page
[08:09] <earsnot> healot thanks
[08:10] <biaf> thx m8, you saved be about 6years of data
[08:10] <dooglus> biaf: how?
[08:10] <MetaMorfoziS> and, it's not a linxu q... 2mb ofbuilt in memory is might or little?
[08:10] <Healot> earsnot: do you install exim on purpose or it comes with the install?
[08:10] <biaf> i would of  just give up and formated if i did not try the multi boot record replacement
[08:10] <Unintentional> hey, I want to make a script that automatically e-mails me log files after a program executes.  what program would be good for that?
[08:10] <MetaMorfoziS> in an external dvd writer [for others]
[08:11] <earsnot> Healot I dont remember installing exim
[08:11] <biaf> fixmbr its called in XP,
[08:11] <dooglus> biaf: how did you fix it?  you couldn't boot into windows could you?
[08:11] <earsnot> perhaps it was to satisfy a dependency
[08:11] <zxc> Does Ubuntu have an MS Paint alternative?
[08:11] <Healot> earsnot: maybe via install
[08:11] <siriusnova> zxc - TuxPaint ?
[08:11] <Healot> earsnot: Debian?
[08:11] <MetaMorfoziS> zxc: kpaintbrush
[08:11] <siriusnova> or Gimp ?
[08:11] <Unintentional> zxc: gimp
[08:11] <siriusnova> heh
[08:12] <zxc> Gimp is more PS alternative...Lemme try kpaintbrush and TuxPaint
[08:12] <earsnot> ubuntu for me
[08:12] <ic56> Celeste: you mean the partition type?  fdisk's help says 7, 86, and 87 are for NTFS.  Dunno which is appropriate for what circumstances.
[08:12] <Healot> earsnot: breezy? or which ubuntu release?
[08:12] <earsnot> dapper
[08:12] <Healot> NTFS is 0x7
[08:12] <MetaMorfoziS> zxc: not kpaintbrush
[08:12] <MetaMorfoziS> kolourpaint
[08:13] <ic56> Celeste: there ya go. Healot says to use 7.
[08:13] <MetaMorfoziS> is it same with paint
[08:13] <Celeste> Healot and ic56    0x7  does not exist
[08:14] <Celeste> and 07 is HPFS too
[08:14] <biaf> dooglus : i was installing, server ubuntu into totaly different drive but GRUB started getting fancy in the middle of install saying that i must place boot sector on main master hd0 etc or floppy, i use f8 and let my bios do the booting option, so i had to go with it, and it just messed up my xp boot sector , fixmbr sorted it out
[08:14] <Celeste> is it maybe 86 or 87 ?
[08:14] <Celeste> I paste it to pastebin
[08:14] <ic56> Celeste: 0x7 is just another notation for 7.
[08:14] <Samus_Aran> alright, anyone have any clue what might be causing GDM to not log in, I'm still stuck unable to figure it out.  any window manager (xfce, kde, icewm, etc.) causes GDM to pop up the window saying it couldn't start it, and it starts a term.
[08:14] <Jowi> hello. friend of mine, using dapper, is thinking about a Turion 64 (mt-32 or similar) with onboard ati xpress 200. anyone is using ubuntu on a board/cpu like that? any issues?
[08:15] <ic56> Celeste: yes, 7 is also used for HPFS.  The numbers aren't always unique.
[08:15] <Celeste> http://sial.org/pbot/17802
[08:15] <dooglus> Samus_Aran: can you get into X using startx?
[08:15] <Celeste> ok so I will use  7
[08:15] <Celeste> thank you ic56 and Healot
[08:15] <Celeste> I should make it primary and bootable, isnt it_
[08:16] <iiiears> biaf - Use the direct to disk command to backup your boot sector.  "dd if-/path of=/path -bs 1 -count 1"
[08:16] <Celeste> what may I use for data exchange between linux and windows?
[08:16] <ic56> Celeste: you're welcome.  The other thing you can try to reassure yourself, is to see what values are present on any existing parittions you have that were created by windows itself.
[08:16] <Celeste> what number would be good?
[08:16] <Healot> FAT32/16
[08:16] <Healot> 0xb
[08:16] <Celeste> ic56 the HD is emptz
[08:16] <valehru> Is there a guide on how I can install 32 bit firefox in dapper x64?
[08:16] <inono> How do I get gtk-doc ?
[08:16] <Celeste> thank you healot!
[08:16] <valehru> need to use flash badly
[08:16] <dooglus> Celeste: 1 machine dual-booting?  Or 2 machines on a network?
[08:16] <Healot> !flash
[08:16] <inono> I cannot find gtk-doc in synaptic
[08:16] <ubotu> Installation & troubleshooting for Flash is covered in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[08:16] <Celeste> dooglus: 1 machine with 2 boot options
[08:17] <Celeste> linux and win
[08:17] <Celeste> I need ntfs and linux
[08:17] <Celeste> win plus ubuntu
[08:17] <dooglus> Celeste: linux can read NTFS, both can read and write FAT32
[08:17] <inono> Celestar, captive ntfs
[08:17] <dooglus> Celeste: windows can read ext3 with the right software installed
[08:17] <inono> only if its not on a dynamic drive
[08:17] <Samus_Aran> and from the emergency term that pops up, you can start the window manager/desktop environment fine.  ~/.xsession-errors isn't showing much: http://rafb.net/paste/results/lAWuUv79.html
[08:17] <Celeste> hum .... would be better when both can write
[08:17] <zxc> Kolourpaint is adequate...thanks MetaMorfozis :)
[08:17] <Weirdbro> I think I've found a minor bug in the Glade2 Interface Designer. Can someon help me confirm?
[08:18] <ic56> Celeste: you could look at the partition types on a different machine.  As for sharing, you need FAT32: 0xb ("0B" in your help message)
[08:18] <Celeste> how many primarz partitions can exist_
[08:18] <dooglus> captive ntfs hasn't been maintained for years, has it?
[08:18] <sewoyl> hi! I am trying to install 6.06 and the graphical installer fails. Any way to use the 'old' installer ? (and it was trying to format my root partition as ntfs, too)
[08:18] <Jowi> Celestar: 4
[08:18] <Samus_Aran> dooglus: I assume so, as I can run KDE or ICEWM or whatever from the term, which would be the same as sticking it in ~/.xinitrc
[08:18] <Celeste> perfect
[08:18] <Samus_Aran> the problem is somewhere in GDM's method of starting it up
[08:18] <Healot> that's on a basic MBR disk
[08:18] <ic56> Celeste: up to 4 primary partitions per harddisk
[08:18] <dooglus> Samus_Aran: strange
[08:18] <iiiears> Celeste - ntfs is copyrighted and closed source so ntfsprogs is another option. - back up your data before relying on either ntfs captive or ntfsprogs
[08:19] <Jowi> Celeste: if you need more than 4 you can add an extended partition to put them in
[08:19] <Celeste> so I will create 1) NTFS primary bootable  2)  FAT32  primary   and   3)  ext3
[08:19] <Celeste> ext3 also bootable and primarz
[08:19] <Samus_Aran> I will go try via xinit
[08:19] <Weirdbro> In the accessibility options in the property editor, the final option name is partially hidden
[08:19] <Celeste> should be enough also when I could have made more partitions
[08:19] <ic56> Celeste: NTFS + FAT32 + ext3 plan = good.
[08:19] <eclypse> is anyone here actually willing to help me with a XGL problem?
[08:19] <Weirdbro> can someone if that happens for them too?
[08:19] <sewoyl> anybody? please?
[08:19] <iiiears> Celeste - dooglus has the best idea use FAT32
[08:19] <Jowi> Celeste: not enough if you want to add more. the SWAP will also take up a partition
[08:20] <Celeste> hum
[08:20] <iiiears> for shared files
[08:20] <Celeste> can I tell ubuntu while installing to create all partitions itself within the free space_
[08:20] <Celeste> ?
[08:20] <Samus_Aran> dooglus: okay now I got some error messages: X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting., xinit:  Server error., Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console
[08:20] <eclypse> is anyone here actually willing to help me with a XGL problem?
[08:20] <Celeste> so there will be 2 partitions for windows  plus free space
[08:20] <dooglus> Samus_Aran: "sudo startx" I guess?
[08:20] <Celeste> I want ubuntu to decide what partitoons are needed itself in the free space
[08:20] <Celeste> will this work?
[08:21] <iiiears> Celeste - leave some extra space to create a FAT32 parttion.
[08:21] <eclypse> because after various errors with the xorg.conf I still get the infamous X server is not properly configured.
[08:21] <eclypse> the main error it showed me was the 'No Screens Found' error
[08:21] <edlang> #winehq seems pretty dead.
[08:21] <eclypse> how would I fix this?
[08:21] <Courtlandj> eclypse: Try #ubuntu-xgl
[08:21] <ic56> Celeste: yes: ubuntu can decide but, if it may decide somethign you don't like.  Here's what you need to know:
[08:21] <eclypse> ok
[08:21] <Celeste> iiiears: I will create the NTFS and FAT32 partition before installing anything
[08:21] <Courtlandj> Hopefully they have some expertss
[08:21] <iiiears> Celeste - Sounds good.
[08:22] <sewoyl> please It can't be that hard : how do I install dapper using the old text basedinstaller ?????
[08:22] <Samus_Aran> dooglus: hm, if I even run X just as "X" it tells me "X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting."
[08:22] <Samus_Aran> dooglus: now I have something to Google for, heh.
[08:22] <Dreamglider> sewoyl, you need to download the Alternative CD
[08:22] <dooglus> Samus_Aran: there's a configuration option somewhere which says whether users can run X
[08:22] <eclypse> Courtlandj nobody seems to be answering in that channel dude...
[08:22] <sewoyl> Dreamglider, ah thanks. Is is an official image?
[08:23] <Dreamglider> sewoyl, yes it is
[08:23] <eclypse> theres only like 45 people
[08:23] <iiiears> sewoyl - Some here have mentioned an "Alternate" install disk that uses the text based mode. - Does anyone have the link?
[08:23] <Celeste> ic56 are you typing a message for me?
[08:23] <Courtlandj> eclypse: Hmm. Well, I am no expert, although I am running Xgl right now.
[08:23] <sewoyl> Dreamglider, would it happen to be the 'server install' ???
[08:23] <ic56> Celeste: there can be 4 primary partitions per disk.  What this means is that the first sector on a disk is formatted to contain 4 fields, each one describing a partiti.  If you need more than 4 partitinos, then you use one of these slots as an "extended partition".  All that means is that instead of that slot containing the actual partition, it contains a redirection to another sector.  That other sector
[08:23] <eclypse> well your lucky...
[08:23] <eclypse> did you ever run into a kinda blue-screen error?
[08:23] <Dreamglider> sewoyl, No it's the Desktop
[08:23] <Weirdbro> In the accessibility options in the property editor in Glade, the final option name is partially hidden. This happen for anyone else?
[08:24] <Jowi> Celeste: here's a tip: prim 1 NTFS, prim 2 fat32, prim 3 ext3, prim 4 extended. in the extended you can put the swap, /home and any other partitions you want to add later.
[08:24] <sewoyl> Dreamglider, iiiears, thanks guys gonna try to find it (btw it's too bad the delay-causing installer does not work :( )
[08:24] <Celeste> Jowi: and whats about the swap?
[08:24] <Courtlandj> eclypse: I had a few hiccups here and there, yes. But I followed the howto on compiz.net ( http://www.compiz.net/viewtopic.php?id=652 ) and it worked for me.
[08:24] <ic56> Celeste: ...contains the details for a regular partition and yet another redirection.  Thus, you can effectively have as many partitions as you want.  These "redirected" partitions are called logical parititions.
[08:24] <Jowi> Celeste: you can put the swap in the extended partition
[08:25] <eclypse> well
[08:25] <eclypse> I still get a fatal error on it
[08:25] <inono> How do I find the gtk-doc package ?
[08:25] <Celeste> ic56 I thank you very much fot your help!
[08:25] <Dreamglider> sewoyl, http://ie.releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-releases/6.06/
[08:25] <Courtlandj> eclypse: You'd have to be more specific as to where you're getting the error, where in the install process you were...
[08:25] <eclypse> like... first off it starts with attempting to show the welcome screen
[08:25] <eclypse> well
[08:25] <eclypse> I had it all installed an shit
[08:25] <eclypse> it was on the restart
[08:25] <Celeste> thank you Jowi and Healot too
[08:25] <eclypse> that it screwed up
[08:25] <edlang> Is there an amd64 Ubuntu channel?
[08:25] <Celeste> I will go for it now
[08:25] <Celeste> thank you
[08:25] <edlang> #winehq is proving useless.
[08:25] <Dreamglider> look for alternate images
[08:25] <sewoyl> Dreamglider, thanks I found it . Had no idea that's what I was looking for.
[08:25] <Celeste> see you later after installing
[08:25] <Samus_Aran> could one of you log into a real TTY and tell me what device "tty" displays for you ?
[08:25] <brosio>  how could i store the output of whoami into a bash variable ?
[08:25] <Courtlandj> eclypse: So you had Xgl + compiz running, wobbly windows and all, but upon reboot it failed?
[08:25] <eclypse> nope
[08:26] <eclypse> I didn't
[08:26] <Courtlandj> Oh
[08:26] <ic56> Celeste: linux doesn't care whether you put its stuff in a logical or a primary partition, but it's always wise to have the boot partition of each OS be on a primary partition -- just so you can easily find it if your disk becomes corrupt and you have to go looking for things.  Also, some OSs have trouble booting from logical partitions.
[08:26] <Samus_Aran> I am getting pseudo terminals, and I think that is why X isn't running properly, as only console users have permission to run X
[08:26] <ic56> Celeste: good luck!
[08:26] <biaf> If i want to install the xbuntu gui onto my ubuntu server what would be the best apt-get file to aquire
[08:26] <eclypse> it gives me the grey background type screen, (primarly composed of clusters of white and black pixles) and it showed the loading icon
[08:26] <eclypse> then after an extended ammount of time
[08:26] <eclypse> it gave me a errror messagfe
[08:26] <Courtlandj> Right, right.
[08:26] <gnubie> using dapper-gnome,  how do I get computer and home folder on my desktop?  I had a link, but it exceeded it's bw for this month.
[08:26] <Courtlandj> And it asks you if you want to diagnose the problem?
[08:27] <FX2> need help
[08:27] <Dreamglider> sewoyl, i home the text installer will be included on the next release
[08:27] <Jowi> eclypse: did you do the server or desktop install?
[08:27] <Dreamglider> hope**
[08:27] <eclypse> for XGL?
[08:27] <Jowi> ah
[08:27] <eclypse> I did the apt-get install xserver-XGL
[08:27] <lanlan> hi, can anyone help me with a beagle prob?
[08:27] <eclypse> and then all required files
[08:27] <Courtlandj> FX2: Ask your question, someone will help.  =)
[08:27] <Jowi> sorry eclypse didn't realise you were trying out XGL
[08:28] <eclypse> yeah....
[08:28] <eclypse> I'm trying to get it to work
[08:28] <Courtlandj> eclypse: Do you have an NVidia graphics card?
[08:28] <eclypse> sadly no...
[08:28] <eclypse> I wish I did tho
[08:28] <sewoyl> so dumb question, what  XGL?
[08:28] <Dreamglider> lOOOl http://www.ebaumsworld.com/2006/06/dietscare.html
[08:28] <eclypse> they work sooo well with Linux...
[08:28] <Courtlandj> eclypse: ATI?
[08:28] <sewoyl> what is* XGL
[08:28] <eclypse> yes
[08:28] <lanlan> running 6.06 LTS over here, and my beagle only seems to index konq
[08:28] <eclypse> my accelleration is working perfectly.
[08:28] <eclypse> games run perfectly
[08:28] <NoUse> !xgl
[08:28] <ubotu> XGL on Ubuntu: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompositeManager - Join #ubuntu-xgl for all the XGL fun on Ubuntu systems.  Pretty videos on http://www.novell.com/linux/xglrelease/  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[08:28] <eclypse> I'm using the fglrx driver.
[08:28] <FX2> when am installing ubuntu 5.10 am it keeps blokking when it comes to Starting hotplug subsystem
[08:28] <Jowi> eclypse: have you tried in #ubuntu-xgl?
[08:28] <eclypse> yes
[08:28] <Courtlandj> eclypse: I have never used an ATI card under linux, so I am afraid I will be no help there. I know that some other people have had problems with fglrx...
[08:28] <eclypse> nobody answered me
[08:29] <eclypse> everyone in there is like afk
[08:29] <NoUse> sewoyl check out the videos ubotu posted
[08:29] <rej-> xgl, acceleration works perfectly, but opengl direct rendering doesnt
[08:29] <rej-> :(
[08:29] <sewoyl> NoUse thanks
[08:29] <eclypse> well
[08:29] <eclypse> FGLRX has worked relativly well for me
[08:29] <FX2> wat should i do???
[08:29] <eclypse> its merely the error message I get...
[08:29] <Courtlandj> eclypse: If you get that blue screen, what does it tell you when you when you diagnose the problem?
[08:29] <eclypse> it tells me no screens found
[08:29] <biaf> whats command to get the xbuntu gui dnloaded to ise with my server build
[08:29] <eclypse> hold on I'll get you the exact message *boots up laptop*
[08:30] <eclypse> ok
[08:30] <eclypse> well first off
[08:31] <eclypse> it tells me 'failed to start xserver...blah blah blah
[08:31] <FX2> wat should i do???
[08:31] <FX2> when am installing ubuntu 5.10 am it keeps blokking when it comes to Starting hotplug subsystem
[08:31] <Tommy2k4> is it possibel to make the k-menu popup when i press the win key
[08:31] <eclypse> then it asks me if I want to diagnose the problem
[08:31] <Jowi> eclypse: can this be it? https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xgl/+bug/42527
[08:31] <eclypse> so I hit ok
[08:31] <NoUse> FX2 this is when the install CD is running or after you have finished the install?
[08:31] <eclypse> ok well now its telling me 'Unrecognized Option: vt7
[08:31] <FX2> no during the installation
[08:32] <eclypse> wtf is this now?!
[08:32] <eclypse> lol
[08:32] <a_l_e_> i've read that dapper supports booting on an external disk (usb in my case) out of the box... can anybody confirm this?
[08:32] <FX2> it gives me the same prob with the live cd
[08:32] <eclypse> its like new things are popping up
[08:32] <Courtlandj> eclypse: Never heard of vt7..?
[08:32] <mirak> my hard drive was on sleep during reboot, and it seems linux didn't created a device for it
[08:32] <sewoyl> a_l_e_ : isn't that depending on the BIOS more than the OS?
[08:32] <mirak> is there a way to probe again ide ports ?
[08:32] <Courtlandj> a_l_e_: Depends on the motherboard
[08:32] <eclypse> nope.
[08:32] <Jowi> vt7 could be virtual terminal 7. the one that Xorg usually use.
[08:32] <eclypse> also, that bug report doesn't seem to have a solution...
[08:33] <FX2> NoUse: no during the installation
[08:33] <Courtlandj> That's true
[08:33] <Jowi> (ctrl-alt-f7)
[08:33] <FX2> NoUse it gives me the same prob with the live cd
[08:33] <eclypse> this is a laptop so I'm definately not going below my native resolution
[08:33] <eclypse> which is 1280x800
[08:33] <a_l_e_> sewoyl Courtlandj: i got the computer to boot on usb, but then i get an error "VFS: Cannot open root device "hd4" or unknown-block(0,0)"
[08:34] <sewoyl> I'm glad to see that XGL will make people think twice beforebuying vista for the cool looking (?) effects
[08:34] <a_l_e_> "please append a correct "boot=" boot option
[08:34] <Courtlandj> sewoyl: Very true!  =)
[08:34] <NoUse> FX2 what kind of computer?
