[15:01] <derryz> hai
[15:01] <Heatryn2> when I install ubuntu server, is it possible to edit the kernel like in gentoo ?
[15:01] <Great_Gatsby> you have a different card
[15:01] <nikitis> jrib: ok i have a separate root patition,  i'll just reformat it
[15:02] <Slartibartfast> linny, use: mkisofs -r -J -o cd_image.iso /directory to create the iso image then to burn, cdrecord dev=/dev/cdrom driveropts=burnfree -v -data <imagepath>cd_image.iso
[15:02] <xiroV> neozen, well.. i have read some articles about touchpad driver in linux, but i couldnt find any exact explanation on how to install it.
[15:02] <SOURdiesel> fde: thanks.
[15:02] <bjb1959> I have a friend with a hp desktop that stops during boot with an ACPI error   cannot turn cooling device 'on' and he has to reboot several times before it actually boots. any ideas??
[15:02] <nikitis> jrib: one last question, how well does wine or other 32-bit only programs run in 64bit ubuntu?
[15:02] <jrib> nikitis: wine works fine
[15:02] <nikitis> backwards compatibility etc
[15:03] <fde> PeskyJ: A network device and be called makemysysteminsecure for all the system cares - its not a hard coded thing at all
[15:03] <neozen> xiroV: yeah, couldn't tell you... sorry I couldn't be of more help... thought your touchpad wasn't working @ all
[15:03] <xiroV> neozen, well.. im just trying to get used to touchpad.. but its so stupid when the movements is so rough, you kno..
[15:03] <nikitis> jrib: do you install wine the same way?
[15:03] <nicku> ikonia: is it okay if i pm you
[15:03] <Tyrath> I'm on Ibex - i don't know if I mentioned that above
[15:03] <ikonia> nicku just ask in here
[15:03] <thelonecabbage> Did anyone have problems with configuring display on thinkpad x30 xubuntu 8.10??
[15:03] <PeskyJ> fde: cool
[15:03] <jrib> nikitis: yes
[15:03] <fde> PeskyJ: standard default naming conventions however will make it wlan0 or eth1 depending on the device
[15:04] <jsquared> after I closed a remote VNC connection and got back to my physical local computer, my desktop background was replaced by a solid color. how do I get it back?
[15:04] <xiroV> neozen, No problem dude :) thanks for taking your time, anyways :)
[15:04] <nikitis> jrib: Ok, thanks for all of your help
[15:04] <linny> Slartibartfast: thats fine i understand how to create and burn the iso but i dont know anything about the dvd formats what type of files do i make the iso from i dont even have any video_ts folders or vobs just these mpgs and xmls are they ok ?
[15:04] <PeskyJ> Great_Gatsby: so the problem is that although it's connected, you're not getting an IP address?
[15:04] <replacenf> has anyone here replaced  human-icon-theme and tangerine-icon-theme with GPLed alternatives?
[15:04] <neozen> xiroV: wouldn't know... when I use the one on my T41, seems about as smooth as I'd expect (which is to say.... bad... since its a touchpad ;) )
[15:04] <Great_Gatsby> i guess PeskyJ
[15:04] <fde> Great_Gatsby: does 'iwlist scanning' return anything at all?
[15:04] <nicku> ikonia: how much have you tested linux and ad joins.. is it possible to get anything more out of winbind than only logins
[15:04] <Great_Gatsby> yes fdd
[15:04] <neozen> xiroV: one of the reasons I shut it off
[15:05] <bjb1959> any fix for acpi error   cannot turn cooling device on  at boot?
[15:05] <Great_Gatsby> its not a wireless card problem
[15:05] <PeskyJ> Great_Gatsby: if your router has wired connections too, have you tried connecting to its config page and seeing what's going on?
[15:05] <Great_Gatsby> i've switched out five cards and none work
[15:05] <neozen> xiroV: any other problems?
[15:05] <xiroV> neozen, well.. i don't think touchpads are bad.. the can get really easy to use, and smooth, if you just got a driver for it.
[15:05] <neozen> xiroV: or questions?
[15:05] <gwennn> hi everybody!!!
[15:05] <fde> Great_Gatsby: then  what is the issue currently? System > Preferences > Network Configuration look fine? (if there is wireless security, you'll need to enter that stuff here)
[15:05] <xiroV> neozen, but they sure is a pain in the @ss to use without, thou
[15:06] <neozen> xiroV: heh
[15:06] <xiroV> neozen, and yea.. i actually got a problem
[15:06] <Slartibartfast> linny, whendo they appear?
[15:06] <Slartibartfast> gwennn, Hi you
[15:06] <gwennn> I have a big problem: can't saving mi visual settings
[15:07] <fde> Great_Gatsby: if iwlist scanning returns network info then your card is working, just not configured correctly... so lets get to configuring it.
[15:07] <gwennn> every time i login 8.10 gaves me the no visual effects setting
[15:07] <ubd> how do i add a start up program i run xubuntu
[15:07] <linny> Slartibartfast: at the end of the process in the output folder im left with xml files and mpg file rather than the proper disk stucture or iso prevoiusly selected
[15:07] <xiroV> neozen, you know on laptops.. there usually is a way to turn volume up or down... on my laptop it worked fine, untill some weeks ago.. now i can only turn the sound up and down, using the mouse, manually.. if you know what it mean..
[15:07] <g33k> How to make backup of whole system [kubuntu 8.10]
[15:08] <fde> ubd: in its settings thing... there should be a 'session' option... click it and add it from there
[15:08] <neozen> xiroV: ok..... (did just find something for you btw...) in a terminal type "dmesg | grep 'ImPS/2' " sans double quots
[15:08] <NET||abuse> hmm, really don'tlike the default bullet style that OOo writer does,, is there a way to imporve that?
[15:08] <Polysics> hi all
[15:08] <linny> g33k: google remastersys
[15:08] <Slart> !backup | g33k, see of some of these do the job
[15:08] <Polysics> anyone has experience with red5 media server on ubuntu?
[15:08] <jsquared> my desktop background is a solid color right now instead of a wallpaper, even though I have a valid wallpaper selected. how do I fix this?
[15:08] <ubd> fde there is no option to add anything there
[15:08] <neozen> xiroV: yep... have the same problem on xubuntu... they seem to have disabled the volume control keys having an effect on the volume control panel applet
[15:09] <xiroV> neozen, the volume box appears when i turn volume up and down, but apparently it doesn't work..
[15:09] <neozen> xiroV: still getting to the bottom of that over here ;)
[15:09] <fde> ubd: then ask in #xubuntu or #xfce probably... I'm not familiar really with its tools
[15:09] <ubd> fde ok i found it
[15:09] <neozen> xiroV: 'doesn't work?'
[15:09] <ubd> thanks
[15:09] <Slartibartfast> linny, may be you should remember to use that trailing slashes with an asterick to select all files inside a particular folder i.e foldername/*
[15:09] <bjb1959> any body know if there is any fix for acpi error cannot turn cooling device on  at boot?
[15:09] <Ximal> to the guy who was having trouble with his vbox earlier ... ( not me ikonia ) i put a paste bin up on how to fix the issue http://pastebin.com/m3b556e79 < --- here .... it isn't 100% fool proof.. but if i can do it... anyone can
[15:09] <replacenf> has anyone here replaced  human-icon-theme and tangerine-icon-theme with GPLed alternatives?
[15:09] <neozen> xiroV: as in... doesn't actually change the volume in the hardware?
[15:09] <replacenf> or BSD ones?
[15:10] <n8tuser> bjb1959-> dont know, but maybe look around your bios for any settings related to apm or acpi ?
[15:10] <fde> replacenf: um, why would you want to license artwork under GPL?
[15:10] <apeiron> fde, Think of original images as 'source code'.
[15:11] <xiroV> neozen, Exactly.. it doesn't turn the volume up or down, even thou it appears to, on the screen
[15:11] <Tyrath> how do I set a default media player?
[15:11] <neozen> xiroV: greaaat
[15:11] <gwennn> should anyone give me the name for the visual settings?
[15:11] <xiroV> neozen, What was does commands? O.o
[15:11] <neozen> xiroV: did you try running that dmesg command I sent you?
[15:11] <fde> apeiron: eh... I'd put it under an artistic license - which I think it is  :/
[15:11] <neozen> xiroV: dmesg pokes the kernel and sees what's been happening since startup
[15:11] <xiroV> neozen, was it 1 command, or 2?
[15:11] <Tyrath> I can't do system -> prefs -> removable devices and media cause its not in my GUI
[15:11] <mystery> hello everyone
[15:12] <neozen> xiroV: grep searches through standard input (or a file) and displays lines containing a specified regular expression
[15:12] <mystery> Does anyone know how to save script to the home directory?
[15:12] <bazhang> !ccsm | gwennn
[15:12] <fde> replacenf: tango isn't gpl, and is infact I believe non-gpl compatible - so human can never be gpl legally unless tango changes their license
[15:12] <neozen> xiroV: was two... one piped into the other
[15:12] <neozen> xiroV: will resend wait 1
[15:13] <gwennn> thanks ubottu
[15:13] <neozen> xiroV: ok..... (did just find something for you btw...) in a terminal type "dmesg | grep 'ImPS/2' " sans double quotes
[15:13] <replacenf> fde> artwork that is free, human-icon-theme and tangerine-icon-theme  are not free packages. sudo apt-get install vrms and the run vrms
[15:13] <willytell_> someone has to deal with gspca webcams (video4linux)? I'm in trouble with it... could you help me?
[15:13] <apeiron> fde, Do you mean *the* Artistic license, or something like CC?
[15:14] <xiroV> so i should just copy/paste "dmesg | grep 'ImPS/2'" into terminal?
[15:14] <mystery>  Does anyone know how to save script to the home directory?
[15:14] <neozen> yep
[15:14] <xiroV> neozen, so i should just copy/paste "dmesg | grep 'ImPS/2'" into terminal?
[15:14] <neozen> xiroV: with no double quotes
[15:14] <xiroV> neozen, kk
[15:14] <jsquared> how do I change my desktop background? it's locked onto a solid color right now, and I can't make it use wallpaper instead
[15:14] <Great_Gatsby> i know fde
[15:14] <Great_Gatsby> im connected
[15:14] <Great_Gatsby> im connected PeskyJ
[15:14] <replacenf> has anyone here replaced  human-icon-theme and tangerine-icon-theme with free as in freedom alternatives?
[15:14] <nuxis> Hey, I just installed intrepid and I'm trying to let my wireless card works. It worked fine in hardy and previous releases but now I can't compile my source, I got the build-essential, kernel headers etc... but I keep getting this : http://pastebin.com/m296989e4
[15:14] <fde> replacenf: Ubuntu is for open source AND free software - not one OR the other... anyway, like I said, unless tango changes license, tango and tangerine can't as tangos license is non-compatible.
[15:15] <usuario_><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[15:15] <thiebaude> jsquared: right click on desktop, change background
[15:15] <xiroV> uhm
[15:15] <ikonia> usuario_ ?
[15:15] <neozen> xiroV: may see a line looks like this: 'input: ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse'
[15:15] <xiroV> neozen, so.. what now?
[15:15] <neozen> xiroV: do you see the line?
[15:15] <jsquared> thiebaude: that's what I've been doing. but when I change, it only changes the color of the background
[15:15] <jsquared> thiebaude: I can pick different wallpapers but they have no effect
[15:15] <xiroV> neozen, So i have to paste it as 2 seperate commands?
[15:16] <neozen> no
[15:16] <fde> apeiron: It might be under one of the Creative Commons licenses actually, I'm not sure... look on tango-project.org
[15:16] <Great_Gatsby> PeskyJ,
[15:16] <fde> apeiron: either way its not compatible with GPL
[15:16] <Great_Gatsby> its not a router problem
[15:16] <ruxpin> where's tcmplex? it's not in the transcode package
[15:16] <PeskyJ> Great_Gatsby: yes?
[15:16] <mystery>  Does anyone know how to save script to the home directory?
[15:16] <Great_Gatsby> my router shows im connected but its saying the connection is inactive
[15:16] <xiroV> neozen, if i just paste it in the same line, nothing appears
 OK but there muste be free as in freedom alternatives artwork packages that can replace human-icon-theme and tangerine-icon-theme,  right?
[15:16] <Great_Gatsby> its assigned an ip address
[15:16] <apeiron> fde, tango.freedesktop.org perhaps?
[15:16] <neozen> xiroV: might've built the regex wrong following line will be command just paste straight in:
[15:17] <neozen> xiroV: dmesg | grep "Generic Wheel Mouse"
[15:17] <PeskyJ> Great_Gatsby: I thought you fixed it?
[15:17] <fde> replacenf: No idea, I don't much appreciate such distinctions.
[15:17] <Great_Gatsby> no
[15:17] <thiebaude> jsquared: i dont know what to say
[15:17] <Great_Gatsby> i cant connect
[15:17] <neozen> xiroV: leave those double quotes in
[15:17] <Great_Gatsby> i had to restart because i turned off the firewall
[15:17] <xiroV> neozen, still nothing appears
[15:17] <diamond_gr> Hello. Need some help that I couldn't know how to search the net for. So I decided to join IRC. Hope it works.
[15:17] <nuxis> Anyone an idea about the madwifi issue ?
[15:17] <jsquared> thiebaude: ah, nm. fixed it!
[15:18] <fde> apeiron: ahh, yes... been a while since I went to their site, guess they moved
[15:18] <PeskyJ> Great_Gatsby: but you just declared that you were connected then immediately quit
[15:18] <neozen> xiroV: hmmm.... one more
[15:18] <thiebaude> jsquared: how did you fix it?
[15:18] <Great_Gatsby> http://pastebin.com/m72635a60
have you  yourself  replaced  human-icon-theme and tangerine-icon-theme with free as in freedom alternatives?
[15:18] <Great_Gatsby> no
[15:18] <neozen> xiroV: dmesg | grep "ALPS GlidePoint"
[15:18] <apeiron> CC-BY-SA. Definitely not GPL.
[15:18] <Great_Gatsby> im connected to the router
[15:18] <Great_Gatsby> im not getting a connection
[15:18] <jsquared> nothing fancy. just went mucking around in the configuration editor. desktop/background/draw_background was unchecked for some reason
[15:18] <apeiron> replacenf, No, though I'd like to. :)
[15:18] <Great_Gatsby> i didnt quit i had to restart
[15:18] <thiebaude> cool
[15:18] <Ximal> anyone know if there is a messenger program via web interface for irc... something like meebo.com ?
[15:18] <apeiron> replacenf, Though to be honest I don't see the icons that frequently.
[15:19] <UnknownUser58> Ximal:mibbit
[15:19] <xiroV> neozen, following line appeared: [   46.207429] input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input8
[15:19] <fde> apeiron: artwork isn't really compatible with GPL goals though... you don't really want people changing your work when its artwork, you just want to give them permission to use it.
[15:19] <diamond_gr> It might be simple. I try to change the login screen and the splash screen (Start up manager). Login screen application asks me for password and it deosn't open.
[15:19] <n8tuser> Great_Gatsby-> paste your  route -n  too
[15:19] <mystery>  Does anyone know how to save script to the home directory?
[15:19] <Ximal> mibbit don't let me use it like a messenger anddoesn't include freenode ...
[15:19] <apeiron> fde, Depends.
[15:19] <PeskyJ> Great_Gatsby: so you're connected but you're not connected? I'm afraid that makes no sense to me
[15:19] <Ximal> hmm... brb
[15:19] <diamond_gr> Same with Start up manager when I try to browse for the file to change.
[15:19] <apeiron> fde, I've created works that I'd love to see people remix so long as they give me attribution.
[15:19] <neozen> xiroV: ok.... so the kernel knows its an ALPS and not a generic mouse....
[15:20] <neozen> xiroV: apparently at one point, that's the driver the mouse module loaded for your touchpad.... yours seems to have the proper behavior though
[15:20] <NicEXE> When I launch some games and some 3d screensavers (most of them works fine) the textures are shown fine at the first but after about a half second they end up scrambled (if I have 2 textures texture A on object 1 and texture B on object 2 it will scramble things up and give me texture A on object 2 and texture B on object 1) How to fix it?
[15:20] <gangsterlicious> i have an emergency situation requires me to use resize_reiserfs. resize_reiserfs 3.6.19 (2003 www.namesys.com) "You are running BETA version of reiserfs shrinker. This version is only for testing or VERY CAREFUL use."
[15:20] <gangsterlicious> would it be ok? this is 8.04 TLS server edi
[15:20] <fde> apeiron: CC SA license allows for that.
[15:20] <Great_Gatsby> n8tuser, http://pastebin.com/m4f90a118
[15:20] <apeiron> fde, Right, I know.
[15:20] <gangsterlicious> s/TLS/LTS
[15:21] <xiroV> neozen, uhm?
[15:21] <Great_Gatsby> the green light on my dsl router is on n8tuser but when i unplug the wired connection i cant get online
[15:21] <neozen> xiroV: ahhh.... got something more for you
[15:21] <n8tuser> Great_Gatsby-> same pc you are using for  wireless and wired?
[15:21] <Great_Gatsby> yes
[15:22] <NicEXE> When I launch some games and some 3d screensavers (most of them works fine) the textures are shown fine at the first but after about a half second they end up scrambled (if I have 2 textures texture A on object 1 and texture B on object 2 it will scramble things up and give me texture A on object 2 and texture B on object 1) How to fix it?
[15:22] <kmg_> what the hell, now i've got ath_pci.o but not ath_pci.ko, don't I need ath_pci.ko ?
[15:22] <fde> apeiron: the GPL requires you to provide source code for art though, which is rather difficult as the actual image is really only equivalent to the binary of an app...
[15:22] <fde> (unless we're talking SVG art)
[15:22] <n8tuser> Great_Gatsby-> that would not work easily, how would your host know which route the eth0 or eth1 to get to the gateway?
[15:23] <Great_Gatsby> its never been a problem before n8tuser
[15:23] <engemec> Good afternoon!
[15:23] <neozen> xiroV: perhaps this will be of help: http://www.felipe-alfaro.org/blog/2005/08/19/alps-glidepoint-under-linux-with-xorg/
[15:23] <Great_Gatsby> i normally dont use wired
[15:23] <Pedrolito> I just installed the firefox 3.0.4 update, but now the sarch box doesn't work anymore. Anyone else has the same problem?
[15:23] <n8tuser> Great_Gatsby-> not when both of them are active at same time
[15:23] <Great_Gatsby> but my wireless suddenly stopped working four weeks ago
[15:23] <Dorobo18jp> ubottu thank for the info compiling is a little out of my skill range at the moment thanks anyway
[15:23] <neozen> xiroV: once you have the actual make / model of specific hardware, its ALOT easier to locate information
[15:23] <fde> Dorobo18jp: there are no skills involved in compiling anything....
[15:24] <Great_Gatsby> i've been doing it for years n8tuser
[15:24] <Dorobo18jp> i cant figure it out
[15:24] <Great_Gatsby> never caused any problems
[15:24] <n8tuser> Great_Gatsby-> so you decide now, wired or wireless but not both at the same time,  can be both but you hve to fiddle with the route table and its for advanced users..
[15:24] <fde> Dorobo18jp: (well, unless it fails and you have to figure out why)
[15:24] <neozen> xiroV: directions are for redhat, but the xorg.conf pieces should be similar
[15:24] <xiroV> neozen, okay.. well.. can you give me a fast explanation on what "x.org" is? i see that everywhere
[15:24] <Great_Gatsby> all i have to do is unplug the wired connection and wireless takes over
[15:24] <Great_Gatsby> but wireless wont connect
[15:24] <Dorobo18jp> i cant make a directory i can configure it i cant run it just goingto give up fortonight
[15:24] <n8tuser> Great_Gatsby-> thats fine, only one at a time
[15:24] <nuxis> Hey, I just installed intrepid and I'm trying to let my wireless card works. It worked fine in hardy and previous releases but now I can't compile my source, I got the build-essential, kernel headers etc... but I keep getting this : http://pastebin.com/m296989e4
[15:25] <PeskyJ> Great_Gatsby: if you set up the network manager then it should auro-connect to your wireless network and update your route table when you unplug the wired connection
[15:25] <n8tuser> !who | Great_Gatsby
[15:25] <neozen> xiroV: sure.... very fast (am @ work heh)
[15:25] <fde> Dorobo18jp: all you need is to type: ./configure && make && make install  inside the source dir
[15:25] <zeno___> if im transferring files to my samba share over wireless with grsync and the link goes out, can i continue the transfer>
[15:25] <Great_Gatsby> yes i know PeskyJ
[15:25] <zeno___> ?
[15:25] <kmg_> does anybody know what I have to do to get madwifi drivers working?
[15:25] <fde> Dorobo18jp: might need to set a different root though... but that's about it.
[15:25] <neozen> xiroV: xorg is the graphical system most unixes use
[15:25] <NicEXE> When I launch some games and some 3d screensavers (most of them works fine) the textures are shown fine at the first but after about a half second they end up scrambled (if I have 2 textures texture A on object 1 and texture B on object 2 it will scramble things up and give me texture A on object 2 and texture B on object 1) How to fix it?
[15:26] <gwennn> ill no luck!
[15:26] <TJ-42> which configuration file contains which groups a user belongs to?
[15:26] <gwennn> still
[15:26] <Tyrath> would anyone be able to help me enable printing on an ibex with a deskjet 930c ?
[15:26] <fde> TJ-42: umm, /etc/group  (not plural)
[15:26] <neozen> xiroV: on top of that you have your desktop environment (such as KDE, GNOME, XFCE, fluxbox) and various gui programs which run within it
[15:26] <Dorobo18jp> and this is a noob question how do i make thhe scr dir and how do i type in it i am a total noob lol
[15:26] <xiroV> neozen, Ahh.. okay.. so x.org is simply a GUI ?
[15:26] <TJ-42> fde: ah, heh, thanks :-)
[15:26] <Tyrath> I think the file used is hplip
[15:26] <neozen> xiroV: ......X.org is more a graphical backend
[15:26] <fde> Dorobo18jp: what is the file called that you downloaded?
[15:26] <nuxis> Hey, I just installed intrepid and I'm trying to let my wireless card works. It worked fine in hardy and previous releases but now I can't compile my source, I got the build-essential, kernel headers etc... but I keep getting this : http://pastebin.com/m296989e4
[15:26] <gwennn> everytime I logoff I'm loosing all my settings
[15:26] <n8tuser> Great_Gatsby-> your hint there is, when you wanted to use wireless, your route table should reflect usage of eth1(wireless) but what you pasted reflects eth0(wired?)
[15:27] <Tyrath> but i can't update it because it won't let me, all it does is give me hints on locating the repositories which doesn't help me one bit
[15:27] <xiroV> neozen, Ah.. so x.org is a place where the gui works on? or something like that?
[15:27] <fde> TJ-42: remember that primary group is defined in /etc/passwd though
[15:27] <gwennn> Is there a file I can edit on xwindows?
[15:27] <Tyrath> - the repositories are already up to date and i've upgraded stacks of times
[15:27] <neozen> xiroV: a workhorse which graphical toolkits use to actually color the pixels on-screen and get input from the mouse/keyboard etc when in GUI mode
[15:27] <lukasz_> hi
[15:27] <n8tuser> Great_Gatsby-> now you know why your wireless (eth1) is not going anywhere
[15:28] <Great_Gatsby> thats not the reason n8tuser
[15:28] <neozen> xiroV: a VERY rough (and probably grossly inaccurate comparison would be directX)
[15:28] <Great_Gatsby> i wasnt using a wired connection when it suddenly stopped working
[15:28] <Dorobo18jp> blackjack_for_the_hopelessly_luckless.tar it sitting on my desk top atm
[15:28] <Great_Gatsby> im only using wired now because i cant use wireless
[15:28] <xiroV> neozen, Ah... okay :) well.. thanks.. won't bother you anymore ^^ i'll see if i can make it work
[15:28] <NicEXE> When I launch some games and some 3d screensavers (most of them works fine) the textures are shown fine at the first but after about a half second they end up scrambled (if I have 2 textures texture A on object 1 and texture B on object 2 it will scramble things up and give me texture A on object 2 and texture B on object 1) How to fix it?
[15:28] <n8tuser> Great_Gatsby-> if you dont think so, then if you dont have a good route table, then you are not getting anywhere
[15:29] <neozen> xiroV: think your getting it
[15:29] <neozen> xiroV: more information: www.x.org
[15:29] <nuxis> Hey, I just installed intrepid and I'm trying to let my wireless card works. It worked fine in hardy and previous releases but now I can't compile my source, I got the build-essential, kernel headers etc... but I keep getting this : http://pastebin.com/m296989e4
[15:29] <gwennn> I instaled compiz but when I loggin I must start visual effects via desktop appearance
[15:29] <fde> neozen: X has nothing in common with DirectX ... Mesa - or even better SDL -  would be a more accurate example...
[15:30] <fde> neozen: Mesa is the part of X that handles 3D... SDL though is the complete deal targeted at gamers etc
[15:30] <Great_Gatsby> route -n didnt return anything for  eth1 n8tuser
[15:30] <gwennn> so everytime I must do it manually because i have no effects from defaults
[15:30] <jjulian> hi i got a problem with nvidia drivers
[15:31] <erUSUL> fde: Mesa is a free implementation of OpenGL. The binary drivers of nvidia (and ati probably) ship with its own implementation...
[15:31] <jjulian> as long as they're installed i cant open nautilus corecclty
[15:31] <jjulian> its greyed out the whole thing
[15:31] <jjulian> if i start it via sudo nautilus it works
[15:31] <Dorobo18jp> fde didyou get that
[15:31] <jjulian> also i cant change user
[15:31] <n8tuser> Great_Gatsby-> try to restart your wireless interface so the kernel puts the entry in your route table
[15:32] <xiroV> neozen, :)
[15:32] <neozen> fde: nods
[15:32] <jjulian> i get an error that xserver couldnt be startet 3 times failed
[15:32] <fde> erUSUL: sure, but that's not part of X either... I was just trying to point out that X is a set of protocols, it doesn't actually handle graphics directly...
[15:32] <Pedrolito> I just installed the firefox 3.0.4 update, but now the sarch box doesn't work anymore. Anyone else has the same problem?
[15:32] <neozen> fde: was just thinking in terms of responsibilities
[15:32] <neozen> fde: not technology
[15:32] <erUSUL> fde: ok
[15:33] <fde> Dorobo18jp: no... you messaged me? if you're not identified I won't receive them
[15:33] <neozen> fde: no shared codebase naturally
[15:33] <Dorobo18jp> blackjack_for_the_hopelessly_luckless.tar
[15:33] <Dorobo18jp> its sitting on my desktop
[15:33] <Pici> fde: freenode no longer blocks unidentified users from sending private messages.
[15:34] <fde> erUSUL: I was trying to correct the statement by neozen that X can be compared to DirectX, they are so far removed from each other that its just laughable...
[15:34] <Korogiannos> Hi. Could someone point me in the right direction for playing streaming windows media in hardy?
[15:35] <fde> Pici: Why not? I don't want random bots bothering me about porn  :/
[15:35] <neozen> xiroV: see.... still learning myself ;)
[15:35] <erUSUL> fde: yep SDL == (roughly) part of DirectX
[15:35] <nuxis> nvm I fixed the problem blacklisting ath9k and using svn to get the latest driver and running the scripts thanks for no help
[15:35] <neozen> fde: hehe... as I said... was probably a very inaccurate comparision
[15:35] <wild_oscar> hi there. I seem to have lost sound on my laptop after upgrading to Intrepid. all I can hear are some clicking noises when sound should be running. any idea how to fix this?
[15:35] <erUSUL> w32codecs | Korogiannos
[15:36] <erUSUL> !w32codecs | Korogiannos
[15:36] <Dorobo18jp> fde: the file name is blackjack_for_the_hopelessly_luckless.tar it is sitting on my deskktop now
[15:36] <Korogiannos> Many thanks
[15:36] <neozen> fde: never really delved into the guts of X..... haven't ever needed to
[15:36] <fde> neozen: you can't even compare them... you're basically comparing TCP to yahoo.com
[15:37] <neozen> fde: lol
[15:37] <neozen> fde: point taken
[15:37] <NicEXE> When I launch some games and some 3d screensavers (most of them works fine) the textures are shown fine at the first but after about a half second they end up scrambled (if I have 2 textures texture A on object 1 and texture B on object 2 it will scramble things up and give me texture A on object 2 and texture B on object 1) How to fix it?
[15:37] <xiroV> neozen, Sure ^^ I think it would be kinda boring if everyone knew everything ;)
[15:37] <fde> Dorobo18jp: tar xf ~/Desktop/<that> ... it should create a new directory in the same place... cd into that and do what I said.
[15:38] <n8tuser> Great_Gatsby-> how did it go?
[15:38] <xiroV> neozen, but i really don't understand the link you send me..
[15:38] <yogandra> can any tell me to change my ubuntu themes look like mac
[15:38] <bazhang> gnome-look.org yogandra check there
[15:38] <neozen> xiroV: or it would mean everything would be due for SERIOUS change b/c it would mean there was no more innovation
[15:39] <xiroV> neozen, should i just do what it tells me, and it should work?
[15:39] <TJ-42> I just created a new group and added two users to it.  When I try to do chown mainuser:newgroup directory, it gives me "invalid group mainuser:newgroup"  What am I doing wrong?
[15:39] <fde> neozen: well, more accurately to something like javascript actually ... but you get the idea
[15:40] <Nece228> why in kubunut 8.10 xorg uses 10% cpu in idle, and when i open window and dont do anythink it gets on 30%
[15:40] <Nece228> this happens to ubuntu too
[15:40] <yogandra> bazhang, does it slow down the computer?
[15:40] <NicEXE> When I launch some games and some 3d screensavers (most of them works fine) the textures are shown fine at the first but after about a half second they end up scrambled (if I have 2 textures texture A on object 1 and texture B on object 2 it will scramble things up and give me texture A on object 2 and texture B on object 1) How to fix it?
[15:40] <DHPDShar> dam
[15:40] <bazhang> yogandra, a theme? very unlikely
[15:40] <fde> Nece228: it certainly shouldn't be...
[15:41] <massimo8697> ciao a tutti
[15:41] <Nece228> fde: yeah
[15:41] <Nece228> fde: dunno how to fix that
[15:41] <bazhang> !it | massimo8697
[15:41] <xiroV> neozen, ?
[15:41] <yogandra> bazhang, yes. Does it slow down system?
[15:41] <fde> Nece228: hard to diagnose without a lot more info... for instance what driver you using?
[15:41] <jtisme> how do i download ubuntu package updates and install them at a later date
[15:41] <bazhang> yogandra, very unlikely
[15:41] <Dorobo18jp> fde: im done fo rtonight i will try again tomorrow getting to frustrated thanks for the help
[15:41] <wild_oscar> I seem to have lost sound on my laptop after upgrading to Intrepid. all I can hear are some clicking noises when sound should be running. any idea how to fix this?
[15:41] <Nece228> fde: open source, also this happens with flgrx
[15:42] <dj_def> can anybody see this video till the end without flash plugin blocks? http://www.metacafe.com/watch/2051615/cutest_kitten/
[15:42] <kmg_> is there a package that contains the ath5k driver?
[15:42] <Nece228> fde: when i turn off compiz problem dont solves
[15:42] <yogandra> bazhang, Do you know other good themes?
[15:42] <neozen> xiroV: other option is take a look @ the ubuntuforums searching for glidepoint
[15:42] <bazhang> yogandra, check for imetal
[15:42] <fde> jtisme: System > Administration > Software Source ... updates tab ... mid way down, hit "Download in the background"
[15:42] <yogandra> bazhang, thanks
[15:42] <jtisme> fde thanks
[15:43] <fde> Nece228: even with compiz it shouldn't be going that nuts....
[15:43] <Nece228> fde: and in hardy i dont notice that
[15:43] <Pedrolito> dj_def, I can
[15:43] <massimo_> ciao a tutti
[15:43] <fde> Nece228: could be poor support for your card though, I don't know honestly... I just avoid ATI though
[15:44] <bazhang> massimo_, #ubuntu-it
[15:44] <yogandra> Does any know network simulator for ubuntu 8.1?
[15:44] <fde> Nece228: hardy and intrepid Xorg versions are pretty different
[15:44] <DIFH-iceroot> using hardy with multiverse-repo there is no sun-java6-jdk, just all other sun-java6-files and openjdk, how to get the real javadjk from sun?
[15:44] <fde> yogandra: what do you mean by simulator?
[15:44] <Dreamglider> after upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 when i reboot i get -> kernel panic -not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
[15:45] <xiroV> neozen, okay.. thanks
[15:45] <Nece228> fde: hardy has 7.2 and intrepid 7.3 do you know solution?
[15:45] <fde> yogandra: there are many definitions that are possible for 'network simulator'
[15:45] <dj_def> Pedrolito, what ubuntu and flash version do you have?
[15:45] <fde> Nece228: hardy has 7.3 and intrepid has 7.4 actually, but no, I don't know.
[15:45] <yogandra> fde, means virtual network?
[15:45] <neozen> xiroV: you are most welcome, sorry I couldn't be of more help
[15:46] <fde> yogandra: so via a virtual machine or something?
[15:46] <yogandra> fde, Better to say cisco practice tools?
[15:46] <Nece228> fde: did a mistake
[15:46] <regebro> Hmm. I don't know much about sound, but should there really be realtek codec with my Intel card? (MacBook).
[15:46] <yogandra> fde, I have for windows but forget name
[15:47] <NicEXE> When I launch some games and some 3d screensavers (most of them works fine) the textures are shown fine at the first but after about a half second they end up scrambled (if I have 2 textures texture A on object 1 and texture B on object 2 it will scramble things up and give me texture A on object 2 and texture B on object 1) How to fix it?
[15:47] <Pedrolito> dj_def, 8.10 and 10.0 r12
[15:47] <Kw4h> does anyone know the channel where I can find people workin on GSPCA drivers?
[15:47] <TJ-42> cd //join #linuxhelp
[15:47] <fde> yogandra: you can create virtual network interfaces... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=555319  for instance, eth0:1 is the virtual interface
[15:47] <TJ-42> bah
[15:48] <Split> Dreamglider: the update might had been interrupted. Try booting using older kernel and to continue the upgrade
[15:49] <yogandra> fde,  I got it, Its called packetTracer and other call Boson in windows
[15:50] <yogandra> fde, Do ubuntu have one like those?
[15:50] <suwro> howdy
[15:51] <suwro> what's the reason they made empathy? I cant manage to get used with it... I like pidgin more than empathy
[15:51] <yogandra> Does any one know cisco packetTracer for ubuntu
[15:52] <phil> 有人会说中文吗？

[16:05] <Joukeee> i just lost my bottom toolbar =\ got it back but windows i've got open don't appear there now anymore
[16:06] <Joukeee> anyone have an idea on how to get them to appear again?
[16:06] <porter1> What's the best program to record to ogg format? Will audacity?
[16:06] <fde> kanhiya78: I didn't say it was... there should definitely be an ok button though.... what is your screen resolution?
[16:06] <fde> porter1: yes
[16:06] <porter1> Ok, thanks
[16:07] <kanhiya78> fde: 800x600
[16:07] <pkp9774> Does ubuntu support a range of ip addresses in /etc/network/interfaces?  Such as "bind from 2-40" on 192.168.52.x for example?
[16:07] <porter1> I wasn't sure they the sound recorder included with ubuntu doesn't...
[16:08] <beli> pkp9774: guess not, you need to create the config manually....use some shell script for it
[16:08] <pkp9774> beli: ok, couldn't find anything either, thanks.
[16:08] <fde> kanhiya78: so is it covering your entire screen? you can stretch the window off the screen... then right click the window title and hit 'move' to get to the bottom
[16:08] <dvyjones> Should the sound server appear in "ps aux | grep alsa"?
[16:08] <fde> dvyjones: no
[16:09] <dvyjones> My sound sometimes disappear, and I have to restart my comp to get it back. Any idea why?
[16:09] <fde> dvyjones: grep pulse
[16:10] <dvyjones> Could I killall pulseaudio?
[16:10] <Joukeee> my sound rarely ever works, at random moments and restarting doesnt work..
[16:10] <Uplink> !sound
[16:10] <fde> dvyjones: its hackish, but you can do 'pulseaudio --stop ** pulseaudio --start' (ignore errors) to get it back...
[16:10] <hwilde> is /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf still the place where we send the hostname to DNS ?

[16:12] <kanhiya78> fde: one question how to change language for other user
[16:13] <kanhiya78> fde: i want to put hindi language for my mother and english for myself
[16:13] <kanhiya78> is it possible or not
[16:13] <fde> kanhiya78: you can't really via any tool... it'd have to be changed as the user logs in
[16:14] <Joukeee> my "bottom toolbar" doesnt display windows i have open, or currently not
[16:15] <Joukeee> i dont know how to explain really
[16:15] <edreamleo> I was so happy installing 8.10: video drivers installed semi-automatically.  Now I'm so not happy.  Choosing Appearance Preferences:Visual Effects: Extra dis-installed the video driver, and now may screen looks wretched.  Iirc, somehow I was give a list of video drivers by a video player, and the second one I tried worked really well, but now I'm stuck :-)
[16:15] <kanhiya78> no problem ; it means user that logged in has right to change a language of his own
[16:15] <scampbell> kanhiya78: fde: couldn't he just change LANG and GDM_LANG in the user's .profile?
[16:15] <bmac2> I just upgraded to 8.10 on my work desktop, and now every time I run either virtualbox, or synergy, it makes the mouse no longer function.  Anyone seen this or know how to fix?
[16:16] <kanhiya78> but how to change it
[16:16] <ultraviolet9> How do I force quit the sound preferences dialog?
[16:16] <ultraviolet9> an error popped up on it about an hour ago and it won't close
[16:16] <Joukeee> open system monitor
[16:16] <kanhiya78> fde:  means steps to change language
[16:16] <ultraviolet9> I'm there
[16:16] <Joukeee> right click -> kill
[16:17] <ultraviolet9> there is no "sound preferences" process
[16:17] <Joukeee> oh :\ don't know
[16:17] <ultraviolet9> :(
[16:17] <drewbert> type in vi /etc/inittab and change your default runlevel to 6
[16:17] <ultraviolet9> init 6?
[16:17] <hwilde> ultraviolet9, hold on
[16:17] <drewbert> ultraviolet9: don't actually do taht
[16:17] <Joukeee> right click toolbar -> add to panel and then the "Force a misbehaving app to quit"
[16:17] <hwilde> drewbert,that is not a good suggestion
[16:17] <Joukeee> might help
[16:18] <hwilde> ultraviolet9, goto Sytem -> Admin -> System Monitor
[16:18] <ultraviolet9> I'm already there
[16:18] <hwilde> ultraviolet9, click the Processes tab.  RIght click the one you want to kill

[16:23] <hwilde> SOURdiesel, ok so you have to shutdown, boot into livecd, run gparted, and resize your swap partition.

[16:23] <Pici> Joukeee: you need to add the 'window list' applet back onto the panel.
[16:23] <kanhiya78> fde:  thanks for finding ok button for me
[16:23] <Joukeee> ill try, thanks
[16:23] <ultraviolet9> I need some help
[16:23] <ultraviolet9> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=985692
[16:23] <SOURdiesel> bwilde: nope. tried that. doesn't give me the resize option.
[16:23] <fde> kanhiya78: moving it off screen allowed you to see it? or you being sarcastic? heh
[16:24] <slanning> I also have no sound since recently
[16:24] <Joukeee> thanks you very much, Pici
[16:24] <phil> anyone knows about how to change the fonts in firefox？
[16:24] <kmg_> how do i get the ath5k drivers?
[16:24] <drewbert> hwilde: you know what is good advice? never clicking the hibernate button.  I had to reinstall grub
[16:24] <slanning> O.o
[16:24] <ultraviolet9> ok?
[16:24] <hwilde> drewbert, my laptops hibernate all the time.  you just need everything configured correctly.
[16:24] <ultraviolet9> i used hibernate earlier and it worked fine for me
[16:25] <Joukeee> !sound
[16:25] <scampbell> kanhiya78: on your login screen you may select the language of choice, it will stay with the user.  Does that work for you?
[16:25] <SOURdiesel> bwilde: maybe i'm not "booting from live cd" correctly?  do i run without making changes to computer or is there an F# option i need to choose?
[16:25] <drewbert> laptops are generally better at hibernating then desktops
[16:25] <ultraviolet9> Joukee: If you would read the thread you would find I've already tried all of that
[16:25] <hwilde> SOURdiesel, run without making changes.  it just runs off the cd
[16:25] <drewbert> and I have a desktop with a dual boot set up on it.
[16:26] <ultraviolet9> hwilde: can you help? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=985692
[16:26] <SOURdiesel> bwilde: tried it that way.  gives me the same options in gparted on regular boot from hard drive
[16:26] <hwilde> ultraviolet9, I looked at it, I dunno.
[16:26] <ultraviolet9> :'(
[16:26] <hwilde> SOURdiesel, you can't resize your partitions while they are active.  that is why you boot from livecd
[16:27] <hwilde> drewbert, do you need help with something?  bc this is the support channel you know
[16:27] <SOURdiesel> bwilde: i booted from live cd and i don't have the resize option.  it's greyed.
[16:27] <hwilde> SOURdiesel, how did you get into gparted ?
[16:28] <SOURdiesel> bwilde: boot from live cd.  chose run without making changes to computer.  loaded up desktop, system > admin > partition editor
[16:28] <kephu> I need some help: upgrade to 8.10 broke my wifi configuration
[16:29] <porter1> Anyone know whether it's possible to set audio outputs to also input back in?
[16:29] <kephu> granted, it was rickety at best, I had to use ndiswrapper, but still
[16:29] <SOURdiesel> bwilde: same options as if i run it normaly.  no resize/move
[16:29] <hwilde> SOURdiesel, maybe can you resize the other partition not swap, then delete the swap, then create a new swap partition that is larger ?
[16:29] <kephu> now it's completely broken, while once it worked relatively perfectly
[16:29] <littlewookie> hi, anyone an idea how to choke " XXXX.XXXXXX] powernow-k8: ignoring illegal change in lo freq table-4 to 0x0 "   in my tty's
[16:29] <kephu> it's an asus wl270n
[16:29] <hwilde> !enter | kephu
[16:30] <hwilde> can you restate your question on one line
[16:30] <kephu> from what I gather, it's a broadcom 4328
[16:30] <SOURdiesel> hwilde: sorry i just noticed i was mispelling your name.  can't resize/move any partition or drive off the live cd.
[16:30] <kmg_> how can i get the ath5k drivers?
[16:30] <kephu> I need some help: upgrade to 8.10 broke my wifi configuration; granted, it was rickety at best, I had to use ndiswrapper, but still. Now it's completely broken, while once it worked relatively perfectly it's an asus wl270n, from what I gather, it's a broadcom 4328
[16:30] <kephu> what
[16:31] <kephu> I need some help: upgrade to 8.10 broke my wifi configuration; granted, it was rickety at best, I had to use ndiswrapper, but still. Now it's completely broken, while once it worked relatively perfectly it's an asus wl270, a broadcom 4328 chipset
[16:31] <kephu> now, happy? ;)
[16:31] <KoFish> everyone should fill out this survey http://www.malecontraceptives.org/new_activism.php
[16:31] <hwilde> SOURdiesel, if you boot from the livecd, you can run gparted, and resize the partitions....
[16:32] <hwilde> !broadcom | kephu
[16:32] <SOURdiesel> hwilde: apparently not mine.
[16:33] <Delvien> !offtopic | kofish
[16:33] <Pici> Delvien: hes already gone.
[16:33] <hwilde> SOURdiesel, try opening a terminal and type gksu gparted
[16:33] <kmg_> anybody know how i can get the ath5k drivers?
[16:33] <Delvien> pici ah. ihave leaves off
[16:33] <hwilde> kmg_, ask in #madwifi  they know that stuff
[16:33] <RUMMY> how can I install fonts for evince
[16:33] <hwilde> Delvien, he didn't leave on his own :)
[16:34] <kephu> hwilde: I DID THAT ALREADY. 8.10 broke it!
[16:34] <kephu> also, no docs for 8.10, so it's of no use
[16:34] <hwilde> buy a supported wireless card then...
[16:34] <Delvien> hwilde: have those off too
[16:34] <kephu> right, that advice is awesome.
[16:34] <hwilde> kephu, if you follow the instructions from ubottu you can set it up.
[16:34] <hwilde> !broadcom | kephu
[16:34] <slanning> I'm following the PulseAudio Fixes doc linked by ultraviolet9 - Open the PulseAudio Volume Control application ("pavucontrol", or you can launch "Applications/Sound & Video/PulseAudio Device Chooser" ...) -- pavucontrol works, but not by selecting from the menu
[16:35] <kephu> hwilde: did you read what I just wrote?
[16:35] <hwilde> kephu, you get out what you put in.
[16:35] <kephu> I DID THAT. It used to actually work
[16:35] <Joukeee> Hmm, "lspci -v | less" returned this: "   	 	 	 	 	 	   00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller

[16:35] <kephu> then I decided to upgrade to 8.10
[16:35] <Delvien> joukeee pastebin man
[16:36] <roadfish> I just added an entry to sources.list (from ppa.launchpad.net). But these packages "can't be authenticated". How do I get the gpg-key to feed into apt-key? Where is the gpg-key information located?
[16:36] <slanning> sorry, it started in the....panel at top - it started twice!
[16:36] <hwilde> Joukeee, it's an Intel 82801H
[16:36] <kephu> also, for the record, the the default drivers DIDN'T WORK
[16:36] <Joukeee> thanks
[16:36] <kephu> the linuxwireless.org project didn't support 4328

[16:39] <kephu> hwilde: ok, this link looks promising, credit where credit is due
[16:39] <Joukeee> how do i upgrade to the new ubuntu or has this been done automatically?
[16:40] <hwilde> kephu, that is the first result if you google  "BCM4328 intrepid +ubuntu"
[16:40] <kephu> hwilde: see, I missed the "intrepid" part
[16:40] <hwilde> my google skills are unmatched.
[16:41] <kephu> I'm not clear on the b44 part; does that pertain to WIRED ethernet, or wireless one?
[16:41] <hwilde> kephu, what now I have to read the instructions to you?
[16:41] <Delvien> hwilde is that a challenge :P
[16:41] <lianimator> is there a terminal-based browser bundled with Ubuntu?
[16:41] <hwilde> Delvien, I am going to put that on my resume
[16:41] <Pici> lianimator: w3m by defailt iirc.
[16:42] <Delvien> lianimator: lynx is avail online
[16:42] <kephu> hwilde: I'm using windows at the moment due to lack of wireless connectivity, while still having something to do on the internets
[16:42] <Delvien> hwilde: lol
[16:42] <hwilde> kephu, good luck
[16:42] <karname> hello , how i can install xampp on ubuntu 64 bit?
[16:42] <Uplink> kephu: i was like you 6 months ago
[16:42] <roadfish> is it possible to make repositories that aren't signed without gpg keys? and does this cause the "packages cannot be authenticated!" message from apt-get?
[16:42] <hwilde> !lamp > karname
[16:42] <maek0> roadfish, yeah
[16:43] <Joukeee> on mIRC I could type the first letters of someones name and it would auto-insert the rest of the name.. how do I do this on Pidgin?
[16:43] <kephu> Uplink: and by that you mean...?
[16:43] <hwilde> Joukeee, tab ?
[16:43] <Joukeee> hwilde:
[16:43] <maek0> roadfish, theres a few popular un authenticated repos like the transmission one
[16:43] <Joukeee> yay
[16:43] <Joukeee> thanks
[16:43] <roadfish> maek0: ok, thanks ... so is unreasonable to eliminate all not-authenticated errors (assuming I want things from unsigned repos)
[16:43] <hwilde> Joukeee, if you like mIRC then you would like xchat
[16:43] <karname> hwilde : no i say xampp :http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
[16:43] <mysteryc> Where can I download the package perl_run from?
[16:43] <Uplink> kephu: by that i mean i solved my wireless problems when i upgraded to 8.04...
[16:44] <Pici> karname: There is no need to install a third party lamp stack on Ubuntu and we will not support your xampp install.  Please use the packages that are in the repositories.
[16:46] <kephu> Uplink: broadcom?
[16:46] <Uplink> kephu: yes
[16:46] <kephu> Uplink: same chipset, perchance?
[16:46] <Uplink> kephu: whats your chipset
[16:47] <Uplink> *wifi card
[16:47] <m2k> SOURdiesel, do you have an encrypted root partition?
[16:47] <Khisanth> mysteryc: what makes you think you need that? that is a function in the perl API
[16:47] <kephu> Uplink: 4328, IIRC
[16:47] <karname> pici : i don't see lampp in my repository , i enable all of repository
[16:47] <Pici> karname: Its not a single package.
[16:48] <Uplink> kephu: i got a 06:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 [AirForce 54g] 802.11a/b/g PCI Express Transceiver (rev 02)
[16:48] <kephu> Uplink: so, do you use ndis, or have you tried that broadcom STA restricted drivers?
[16:48] <Uplink> kephu: rest drivers ;D
[16:48] <Pici> karname: Running: sudo tasksel    will give you a list of servers that you can install, just select LAMP server and press okay.
[16:48] <Pici> !lamp > karname (for more info)
[16:48] <Joukeee> hwilde: Joukeee, if you like mIRC then you would like xchat, got used to pidgin now ;)
[16:49] <kephu> Uplink: cool, if they work, we may be in business ;)
[16:49] <thebishop> is there a smaller Ubuntu release that can fit on a 500MB thumbdrive?
[16:49] <thebishop> (with a GUI)
[16:49] <Uplink> kephu: i forgot to mention something... u need to plug in ethernet to your laptop...
[16:50] <kephu> Uplink: figures. I assume it's because they need to be downloaded first?

[16:50] <wwpiexec> hey.. is there a program, that I can use to help me format postings to ubuntu forums.. using a 1024x768 resolution with the text box being even a fraction of the screen kinda hard to follow... basically I'd like something that'll probably give me a live update on what I type, then I can simply copy and paste the text+code to ubuntu forums..
[16:50] <kmg_> hey, what is linux-image-2.6.27-3-rt ?
[16:51] <oskar-> NW2190:  maybe "testdisk" or "photorec" can help...
[16:51] <apeiron> kmg_, apt-cache show linux-image-2.6.27-3-rt
[16:51] <NW2190> oskar-, is that a command or a option in Gparted?

[16:52] <squarebracket> how do i install a font?
[16:52] <serengeti> that was weird: I started eclipse (version from the intrepid repos) and it consumed 1.4 GB of ram + 1GB of swap :O   closed it, started again and it's back to ~150MB as usual. i have no idea what was it thinking.

[16:56] <PlaHPoy> sure
[16:56] <hwilde> Guest52781, no you have to reinstall.
[16:56] <alisia> memex
[16:56] <Slart> alex_: I think you'll have to wait for the real 64 bit flash plugin
[16:56] <kephu> Uplink: can't, atm. From what I recall, there's the wifi and wired ethernet card

[16:57] <Uplink> cared
[16:57] <Uplink> *card

[16:57] <Uplink> kephu: oh ok good
[16:57] <Uplink> hwilde: lol thanx
[16:57] <kephu> which makes the problem all the stranger
[16:57] <Uplink> kephu: do you have a cat5 you can plug into your router?
[16:58] <kephu> Uplink, I'll be perfectly honest with you: I have no clue what you mean by cat5 ;)
[16:58] <Uplink> kephu: a blue ethernet cable
[16:58] <compu73rg33k> where is the gnome character palette configuration file stored? does anybody know? I can't seem to find it using various locate commands
[16:58] <kephu> oh, the cable. It's called differently here, so I didn't make the connection
[16:58] <hwilde> compu73rg33k, accessories -> character map  ?
[16:58] <kephu> oh god the pun I apologize
[16:59] <Uplink> lol
[16:59] <hwilde> kephu, cat5 is the international name for that spec :)
[16:59] <compu73rg33k> No hwilde, the character palette that you can add to a panel
[16:59] <hwilde> compu73rg33k, sry I dunno what that is
[16:59] <kephu> hwilde: doesn't automatically mean it's commonly used everywhere ;P
[16:59] <compu73rg33k> I've customized the palettes and would like to save the file so that if I reinstall I don't have to recreate them
[16:59] <hwilde> kephu, connect with a cable and reboot into linux and come back .
[16:59] <Uplink> ok just get a ethernet cable kephu
[16:59] <Uplink> compu73rg33k: im not sure what your trying to do
[17:00] <kephu> will do, just give me a sec
[17:00] <compu73rg33k> Uplink, you know the character palette that you can add to a panel?
[17:00] <Uplink> compu73rg33k: why would you need more than ASCII on your panel?
[17:01] <compu73rg33k> Uplink, have you used the character palette on the panel?
[17:01] <SOURdiesel> hwilde: would the fact that the partitions have key icons next to them have anything to do with not being able to do anything to them even with live cd?
[17:01]  * hwilde doesn't even know what the character panel is
[17:01] <Pici> compu73rg33k: I know what you're talking about, but I only have ssh access at the moment.
[17:01] <Uplink> hwilde: me neither lol
[17:01] <hwilde> SOURdiesel, lol is there an "unlcok" button on your screen
[17:01] <compu73rg33k> I've made one palette with accented characters for when i"m trying spanish, one with mathematical symbols, and one with extra useful symbols like copyright, cent sign, euro sign, etc.

[17:02] <hwilde> PlaHPoy, that shows cpu:0 and cpu:1
[17:02] <compu73rg33k> Add the character palette to your panel and you'll see what i'm talking about
[17:03] <PlaHPoy> yes it does

[17:06] <hwilde> jeebster, click wireless, click enable
[17:06] <jeebster> With 8.10 that is
[17:06] <PlaHPoy> it shows cpu0 and cpu1
[17:06] <hwilde> jeebster, when it goes to sleep it shuts off the wireless card to save power.  you just have to disable and re-enable it
[17:07] <compu73rg33k> I have two monitors and would like a notification area on both ... but it shows on one
[17:07] <jeebster> hwilde: Kind of thought so
[17:07] <Anonymouse_> *you have been disconnected due to network errors.
[17:07] <jeebster> It's just that everything still seems enabled... I'll try to see if I can reset the thing
[17:07] <hwilde> jeebster, disable and re-enable

[17:09] <hwilde> AdvoWork, you need to hook them up to a raid controller...
[17:09] <jeebster> hwilde: it seems like I had to just reset it twice - on the first time it didn't get it back, but after bringing it down and up once more it started moving
[17:09] <AdvoWork> hwilde on where?
[17:10] <kephu> ok, I'm black
[17:10] <kephu> *back
[17:10] <hwilde> AdvoWork, do you know how raid works?
[17:10] <AdvoWork> not completely
[17:10] <CorticalStack> Ubuntu Hardy Heron update to Firefox 3 this morning completely borked the browser. Reinstall was no help. Surprise, reboot fixed it. Shades of The Evil Empire?
[17:10] <Uplink> lol kephu... so how did it go :)
[17:10] <sken> hello
[17:10] <sken> is the new flash player for every pc
[17:10] <kephu> Uplink, I discovered something I've missed due to update taking place late at night: "setting up network interfaces" at boot sure does take its sweet time for some reason
[17:11] <hwilde> AdvoWork, read this:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redundant_array_of_independent_disks
[17:11] <sken> ?
[17:11] <hwilde> AdvoWork, basically RAID 10 (or 1+0) uses both striping and mirroring
[17:11] <Uplink> kephu: yes it does... :)
[17:11] <Slart> AdvoWork: I think you can look forward to a lot of experimenting... go read up on how raid works, what kind of parameters there are.. and then learn how to handle it on linux.. how to set it up ... on a detailed level.
[17:11] <hwilde> AdvoWork, that will make it quite a challenge to read the data just off the disk.
[17:11] <kephu> So it's actually SUPPOSED to?
[17:11] <hwilde> AdvoWork, what you need is to hook it up to another raid controller so it can handle the striping and mirroring
[17:11] <AdvoWork> hwilde are there any quick or easyish solutions to do so
[17:11] <barid92> hi all
[17:11] <hwilde> AdvoWork, what kind of box did you take the harddrives out of
[17:12] <AdvoWork> hwilde network terastation device
[17:12] <Uplink> kephu: what ubuntu version your on?
[17:12] <dou213> hey guys, got a problem: i bought myself a switching device which allows me to use more computers with one monitor, one mouse and one keyboard... now when i boot ubuntu, i can't choose anymore from the bootloader (GRUB), i guess this switching device doesn't start the keyboard just yet, someone's got any idea how to fix this?
[17:12] <hwilde> AdvoWork, put them back in there
[17:12] <sken> is flash player for every pc?
[17:12] <afazel> I've got a laptop using Hardy Heron, trying to get a linksys wpc11 to work. it can see the wireless network, but I'm not sure if I'm following the correct steps to connect to it
[17:12] <AdvoWork> hwilde why?
[17:12] <hwilde> dou213, set the default
[17:12] <kephu> Uplink: 8.10, this is what ruined everything ;)
[17:12] <Khisanth> AdvoWork: and where are the other two drives?
[17:12] <hwilde> AdvoWork, read the link.  understand raid.  then you will understand
[17:13] <slanning> when I do System->Sound and Test "Sound playback" :  error "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audiosample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument" and the dialog hang if I try to close it (Force quit)
[17:13] <dou213> hwilde: the switching device is on default

[17:13] <Slart> sken: huh?
[17:13] <Uplink> afazel: give me 2 minutes
[17:13] <sken> i mean the new flash player
[17:13] <hwilde> dou213, I dunno, my kvm doesn't acknowldege the keyboard on boot either
[17:13] <Uplink> kephu: so your wifi was working before you mean? :)
[17:13] <afazel> ok, thanks
[17:13] <kephu> hwilde, would you be so kind as to pretty please repeat the url with the forum?
[17:13] <sken> has any body idea about the new flash player
[17:14] <Uplink> afazel: from what guide your helping yourself out?

[17:14] <Jack_Sparrow> dou213 I assume it is a usb keyboard, are you using an adapter to the round plug on your KVM switch.
[17:14] <afazel> I've I was working on it yesterday, let me find the link
[17:14] <Slart> sken: adobe has released an alpha of the new 64 bit flash plugin if that's what you mean
[17:14] <dou213> Jack_Sparrow: no, only usb
[17:14] <hwilde> AdvoWork, basically those drives are like either side of a zipper.  you need a raid controller to put hte pieces together...
[17:14] <kephu> Uplink: "the driver is activated but not currently in use", says the message just below broadcom STA drivers
[17:15] <sken> yes can i install it too or it's only for 64 bit pcs
[17:15] <Jack_Sparrow> dou213 which usb kvm switch are you using, I have a 4 port here.
[17:15] <slanning> `pavucontrol` says "No output devices available"  :(
[17:15] <dou213> Jack_Sparrow: my kvm has only usb, no ps/2
[17:15] <ddfire> hi
[17:15] <dou213> Jack_Sparrow: same here, from Zonet
[17:15] <ddfire> i have problems whit partitions i made them using parted and when i do fdisk -l i get Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings:
[17:15] <Jack_Sparrow> dou213 Mine is Belkin
[17:15] <Slart> sken: afaik it's for 64 bit linux only.. there already is a 32-bit plugin
[17:15] <hwilde> Jack_Sparrow, dou213,  on mine the usb keyboard isn't active in grub.   it is for the bios and to hit esc to get into grub, but not inside grub
[17:16] <dou213> Jack_Sparrow: and does ir work to chose a os in grub?
[17:16] <hwilde> ddfire, cfdisk is nice
[17:16] <sken> how can i learn if i can install it?
[17:16] <dou213> hwilde: same prob here
[17:16] <Uplink> kephu: your in ubuntu right now?
[17:16] <sken> start?
[17:16] <ddfire> hwilde: fdisk too but i need use it in a script
[17:16] <Jack_Sparrow> dou213 yes, I can select menu items in grub
[17:17] <slanning> is there a way to tell when I installed packages? I think things I installed this weekend must've messed up my sound :/
[17:17] <douma> hi
[17:17] <hwilde> dou213, all I can suggest is edit the default in /boot/grub/menu.lst before you reboot...
[17:17] <Jack_Sparrow> dou213 I think this is a HArdy box..
[17:17] <hwilde> or keep a ps2 keyboard handy

[17:39] <Uplink> afazel: did you modprobe it with no errors?
[17:40] <afazel> No errors
[17:40] <TJ-42> How do you bring up that install window that shows up at the beginning of installing an Ubuntu Server that asks if you want to Install LAMP and other server software?
[17:40] <JohanT> slart - need password but on my windows com i dont need it
[17:40] <erUSUL> TJ-42: sudo tasksel
[17:41] <TJ-42> erUSUL: thanks :-)
[17:41] <Timothy1> Since upgrading to 8.10, File dialog boxes are opening very small.  Is there a config setting where I can fix this?  Is it GTK or Gnome that I need to deal with?
[17:41] <Slart> JohanT: oh.. I have no idea how to fix that, sorry
[17:42] <sken> iS opera as good as firefox?
[17:42] <sken> in ubuntu 8.10
[17:43] <sken> can anybody gay here answer me?
[17:43] <UnknownUser56> Wait,the given shell is after I chose to boot from ubuntu,as in ,the ubuntu splashscreen loads and Iget this http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp205/None_0x04/error_01.jpg ,is it normal ?
[17:43] <SOURdiesel> hwilde: i must be blind.
[17:43] <SOURdiesel> lol
[17:43] <wisey> Norton Ghost is excellent, thanks for helping me guys!
[17:44] <JohnL923> Hey
[17:44] <JohnL923> Is there a mac for apple that will tell me the details of a video clip (i.e. resolution, frames per second, bitrate, etc.)?
[17:44] <SOURdiesel> hwilde: i tried again with live cd.  and it gives me the option to resize the main partition.  but sda2 and sda5 nothing.
[17:44] <mysteryc> Audio is not working at all. Help? :S
[17:44] <Gnea> !sound
[17:44] <mkulke> hello, i have a pretty ugly machine sitting here with a via gfx chipset. the ibex install cd crashes when the xserver starts, is there any hope with the alternate install cd?
[17:44] <DracNoc> sken, i use Opera. It's fine, but some pages can look a little odd at times - nothing serious. Opera has always been a very fast browser for me, it seems to be as reliable as anything else.
[17:44] <Slart> JohnL923: .. a mac for apple??
[17:44] <Uplink> afazel: ???
[17:44] <break_free> JohnL923: this isn't an apple channel
[17:44] <afazel> Uplink: no errors
[17:44] <Uplink> afazel: can you connect now?
[17:44] <tARrAScH> sken, you'll only find out by trying! which one is best is a personal opinion
[17:45] <sken> i think firefox
[17:45] <afazel> Uplink: no
[17:45] <supercom32> Has anyone experienced crackling sounds when playing back audio with mute enabled in Intrepid?
[17:45] <Uplink> afazel: then i have no idea....
[17:45] <zax_> how can i change my exchange server settings after i have entered them and restarted evolution
[17:45] <DracNoc> sken, if you're limited on RAM, Opera is lighter than Firefox, otherwise stick with FF for better page formatting.
[17:45] <afazel> Uplink: I think it's an issue with wpa, but beyond that I'm not sure how to go about fixing it
[17:46] <Gnea> supercom32: that would be a hardware issue - make sure the line is plugged in, or maybe the speaker cord has a short in it
[17:46] <Uplink> afazel: type locate wpasupplicant
[17:47] <supercom32> gnea: It seems like an alsa problem to me. I mean, when playing something, it works fine. If you lower the volume one notch before mute, its silent as a bell. Mute = crackling. did not happen in hardy
[17:47] <Ipswitch> hey everyone.
[17:47] <afazel> Uplink: ok, it's found all of the locations
[17:47] <Gnea> supercom32: the crackling wouldn't come from alsa, especially if it's muted.
[17:47] <Timothy1> Does anyone know how to control the defaults for how dialog  boxes open in Intrepid?
[17:47] <Uplink> afazel: then i dont see the problem... maybe you need a different network manager
[17:47] <Gnea> supercom32: is it a laptop or desktop?
[17:48] <afazel> Uplink: do you have any suggestions?
[17:48] <supercom32> Gnea: Laptop. asus eee pc 1000H. If I flash hardy it works. if I flash intrepid image, it cracks when muted.
[17:48] <Uplink> afazel: no bro... i use default net manager... works like a charm with me
[17:48] <zax_> after entering the URL - https://owadomain.com/Remote/default.aspx to the server info in evolution and entering my U/P i cant authenticate(i can if i use FireFox) how can i fix this ?
[17:48] <Ipswitch> Need help....wat program can i use to emulate cd/dvd images on my hard disk?I used daemon tools on Windows but dont think its compatable
[17:48] <supercom32> Gnea: if I force-reload alsa, it fixes the problem also.
[17:48] <afazel> Uplink: Ok, well thanks for the help
[17:49] <supercom32> Gnea: But I don't wanna have to do that each reboot LOL.
[17:49] <Slart> !mountiso | Ipswitch
[17:49] <Gnea> supercom32: not sure - you might want to ask about it in #ubuntu-eeepc, as they seem to be the authority on the eee pc realm :)
[17:49] <Uplink> afazel: np dude... good luck trying to make it work... i would try to find restricted drivers for it... just need to plug the laptop to the net
[17:49] <Ipswitch> thanks Slart

[17:51] <shadfc> I'm having trouble getting a dvd to play under intrepid.  Totem, Mplayer, VLC... none of them work.  I did install libdvdcss2 from medibuntu
[17:51] <orci> hi, I wonder if there is something to do in order to see the differences my system has since a clean install
[17:52] <UnknownUser56> No one ?
[17:53] <fde> shadfc: with libdvdcss2 installed, you're trying to play it via mplayer? It should work, and does here via any Xine player
[17:53] <zax_> ok, well maybe tommorow
[17:53] <zax_> thanks, nn
[17:53] <Great_Gatsby> can someone help me with mpd
[17:53] <supercom32> Is there a way to add "alsa force-reload" at some point during bootup  so it reloads a second time each time your machine is started?
[17:53] <Great_Gatsby> i restarted twice and it still wont play
[17:55] <shadfc> fde: well, i installed gxine and now it works.  none of the others do though =P
[17:55] <shadfc> fde: thx
[17:55] <orci> hi, I wonder if there is something to do in order to see the differences my system has since a clean install

[17:55] <fde> shadfc: you're welcome, personally I use totem-xine though... not a fan of gxine
[17:56] <Dabbu> can anyone told me why cheese is not detecting my webcam in 8.10 but that was easily detected in 8.04
[17:56] <DracNoc> UnknownUser56, is that from a fresh install?
[17:57] <kados_> Unknown56 : I dont have a boot parition either. Just /, /home and swap. Eveything is fine for me ^_^
[17:57] <r3dxp> can someone help me fix my x server ? i run ubuntu 8.10 on thinkpad t61 with NVIDIA quadro NVS 140m, and I am planning on using the restricted nvidia driver 177.80 that comes with ubuntu. my problem is that when i start up x server by startx, i think something else is being loaded with the xorg.conf file that overwrites my x server settings
[17:57] <UnknownUser56> kados_:thanks !
[17:57] <orci> is there a list of packages that will be installed with fresh install+updates?
[17:57] <fde> Dabbu: they changed a lot of stuff with the webcam support upstream moving gspca to v4l2 etc... that is likely the reason, although how to fix it, idk
[17:57] <Slart> Dabbu: I have the same problem.. it worked in 8.04 but not in 8.10. I think it's because they have done something to the v4l interface.. rewritten it.. or updated it.. can't remember exactly
[17:57] <scientes> how do i build restricted modules and other custom kernel drivers when i recompile my kernel?
[17:58] <RizR> r3dxp: why are you starting your server with startx? does it not go up automatically?
[17:58] <r3dxp> i disabled it by removing the gdm
[17:58] <habit> Hello. Advice me please guys - is it possible to have widescreen ubuntu bootsplash? Looks horrible strethced image.
[17:58] <Dabbu> Slart  so is there any solution
[17:58] <scientes> r3dxp, you should start x with /etc/init.d/gdm start generally
[17:58] <Slart> Dabbu: I haven't found anything so far
[17:58] <r3dxp> oh
[17:58] <r3dxp> how do i reinstall gdm ?
[17:58] <scientes> habit, i just dissable it
[17:59] <scientes> habit, makes ur boot take a few more seconds
[17:59] <Dabbu> Slart: ok
[17:59] <UnknownUser56> !grub
[17:59] <scientes> r3dxp, apt-get install ubuntu-desktop or apt-get install gdm (prob)
[17:59] <Dabbu> one more thing ..i am not able to change my static ip address using GUI] ?
[17:59] <scientes> how do i build restricted modules and other custom kernel drivers when i recompile my kernel?
[17:59] <RizR> r3dxp: sudo aptitude install gdm
[18:00] <r3dxp> how i disabled gdm was " mv /etc/init.d/gdm /etc/init.d/gdm.DISABLED
[18:00] <bobito> Hey, I want to get more into helping code apps for linux, can anyone point me to a tutorial, or initial resource, for acquiring the source code editing and compiling the default installed games for ubuntu, perhaps nibbles?  Thanks
[18:01] <RizR> r3dxp: dont mean to distract you from what you're trying to do but cant help asking :-) were there something specific that you were trying to achieve by disabling gdm? may be there is some other way to do it.
[18:01] <kados_> r3dxp : Try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[18:01] <kados_> backup your /etc/X11/xorg.conf first
[18:01] <habit> scientes, I know how to switch off it. But I need to make him widescreen.
[18:01] <scientes> habit, no idea
[18:01] <side> hola
[18:01] <bobito> Or really just any starting coding resource, I've only coded on windows as a hobby, and don't really understand the packages I need to dl to do so on linux
[18:02] <side> necesito ayuda con el grub

[18:02] <Slart> !es
[18:02] <side> alguien me puede echar una mano?
[18:02] <bigdaddy0522> i have a general question about 8.10  is it worth updating to if i have an nvidia card. i read that it doesnt work to well with nvidia cards
[18:02] <r3dxp> no dont, its a pain
[18:03] <Slart> bigdaddy0522: depends on which model you have afaik.. my 8800gtx works nicely
[18:03] <r3dxp> im trying to downgrade to 177.80
[18:03] <DracNoc> bigdaddy0522, I have an nVidia 6200 here, upgrade went fine for me
[18:03] <The_Blade> bigdaddy0522 : my 8400GS on my notebook works very fine
[18:03] <bigdaddy0522> i have a 7950 mobile i think it is
[18:03] <The_Blade> 8400M GS sorry
[18:03] <r3dxp> i just installed gdm by using sudo aptitude install gdm
[18:03] <r3dxp> i just restart and it should load?
[18:03] <ultraviolet9> How do I upgrade my ALSA drivers?
[18:04] <orci> is a filter in synaptic possible so that I could see the packages installed afre the clean cdrom install
[18:04] <bigdaddy0522> kk ill go ahead and update.. looks like alot better stability and functionality than hardy.
[18:04] <ultraviolet9> !ALSA
[18:04] <ultraviolet9> !ALSA upgrade
[18:04] <orci> I would say that is a good idea though
[18:04] <bigdaddy0522> hehe just as long as i can use skype and play World of Warcraft im good.
[18:04] <ultraviolet9> Argh
[18:04] <fde> bigdaddy0522: functionality perhaps, but stability I would bet is better with hardy
[18:04] <The_Blade> bigdaddy0522 : yes it is !
[18:04] <RizR> r3dxp: what's the latest nvidia-glx version?
[18:04] <ultraviolet9> !upgrade
[18:04] <scientes> how do i build restricted modules and other custom kernel drivers when i recompile my kernel?
[18:04] <ultraviolet9> !audio drivers
[18:04] <ultraviolet9> !driver update
[18:05] <ultraviolet9> !drivers
[18:05] <DracNoc> orci, use the Status button on the left (in Synaptic) and select "Installed" immediately after a clean install.
[18:05] <Slart> ultraviolet9: torture the bot in pm instead
[18:05] <bigdaddy0522> yeah i read the articles and some forums.. but i just wanted to know about real world... from users
[18:05] <fde> scientes: you'd just compile them into your kernel....
[18:05] <wwpiexec> !fishing | ultraviolet9
[18:05] <ultraviolet9> Slart: How do I upgrade my ALSA drivers?
[18:05] <io2> !seen paola89
[18:05] <Slart> ultraviolet9: if I had known I would have answered you..
[18:05] <scientes> fde, well nvidia i cant tdo that, and otherwise i have no idea how to
[18:05] <ultraviolet9> I had asked above
[18:05] <ultraviolet9> oh
[18:05] <fde> scientes: unless you're planning on using the same kernel on several machines (I would recommend compiling one for each unless there are a lot) then its better to not use modules...
[18:05] <ultraviolet9> nvm
[18:06] <bigdaddy0522> ultraviolet9, maybe go to synaptic and do a search for alsa
[18:06] <mysteryc> I can't hear sound in flash! Help please! :s
[18:06] <fde> scientes: actually you can... but unless you have good reason to compile your own kernel, don't
[18:06] <orci> DracNoc, I am far away from that point in time though, is there something I can do now?
[18:07] <scientes> i need to see if a bug if fixed upstream before reporting to the kernel

[18:07] <ForsakenSoul> hey guys I'm having a very strange problem ... I have a router which is connected to a switch which is linked to a wireless canyon transmitter and my lap-top establishes a connection, gets the local network but can't connect to the net
[18:07] <ForsakenSoul> why is that ?
[18:07] <fde> scientes: you should still report the bug
[18:07] <mysteryc> wwpiexec: k thanks ;) =]
[18:07] <DracNoc> orci, what do you mean? are you currently installing or do you want to know what is installed by default before you install?
[18:07] <ForsakenSoul> anybody ever have such experience
[18:07] <ForsakenSoul> ?
[18:08] <paul__> n8tuser: are you here?
[18:08] <orci> DracNoc, I have a system which has a lot of packages installed after the clean install
[18:08] <orci> DracNoc, Now i'd like to remove some of them
[18:08] <orci> DracNoc, so i need a list of packages installed afterwards
[18:09] <fde> orci: if its from the clean install, they will have come in from one of the ubuntu-whatever packages...
[18:09] <DracNoc> orci, use the Status button on the left (in Synaptic) and select "Installed" immediately after a clean install. You can DEselect from that list if you wish
[18:09] <ph_d_> How do I make a new empty regular file from command line?
[18:10] <wwpiexec> ph_d_: touch file
[18:10] <fde> orci: /var/log/apt/term.log  for instance will tell you everything apt has done though
[18:10] <SOURdiesel> why are there key icons next to my partitions in gparted.  i also have an unallocated space of 1mb in another drive it won't let me delete.
[18:10] <ph_d_> thanks
[18:10] <fde> orci: if you've updated though, that'll be in there too...
[18:10] <wwpiexec> SOURdiesel: the key icons mean these partitions are locked.. check if they are mounted and unmount them
[18:11] <orci> DracNoc, fde let me try in a different way, I have a system which has ubuntu packages that were installed when i installed from a cdrom. I also have lots of packages which were not installed during the system installation, but they were installed afterwards. I'd like to get a list of those failes installed after the cdrom install has finished
[18:11] <Great_Gatsby> what do i need to play .rv?
[18:11] <wwpiexec> SOURdiesel: you can't delete unallocated space
[18:12] <Garnol9155> Where are programms usually stored to in ubuntu?
[18:12] <SOURdiesel> wwpiexec: thanks.  also, can i just resize the extended partition on the main drive or do i need to resize the main partition then make a new extended partition.  the one with the linux-swap partition?
[18:12] <savid> Is the hampster time tracking tool in ubuntu 8.10?  I just upgraded and can't seem to find it...
[18:13] <fde> orci: dpkg -l > whatever on both machines, making sure the names are different... then just diff them?
[18:13] <TheMstrLaw> hi, what could be an awk script to convert upper case words in a file to first letter upper and the rest lower such as FOO to Foo ?
[18:13] <wwpiexec> SOURdiesel: you can resize the extended i belive..
[18:13] <sabayonuser> I did an Ubuntu install with usb-creator a while back but syslinux wouldn't boot it like so: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/10/06/error-could-not-find-kernel-image-linux/ . So, I moved the syslinux configurationn files to the root of the device and ran syslinux -sf /dev/sdXX as well as lilo -M /dev/sdX and I still suffered the same problem.
[18:13] <Great_Gatsby> what codec do i need for .rv files?
[18:13] <SidGBF> Im installing trac and it is a bit weird.. Trac guys doesn't have a clue, so, trying here: "Warning: Can't synchronize with the repository (Unsupported version control system "svn": "No module named svn" ). Look in the Trac log for more information"... I have it installed!

[18:13] <ForsakenSoul> I can open the local computers but cannot get in touch with google or etc
[18:14] <SOURdiesel> wwpiexec: i've tried using gparted off the live cd and it won't give me that option.  do i eed to unmount it or swapoff?
[18:14] <fde> orci: then you'll have to look at the log file I told you
[18:14] <ForsakenSoul> has anybody had this problem
[18:14] <ForsakenSoul> ?
[18:14] <orci> fde, a rule in synaptic would not be possible?
[18:14] <Jeremy93283> Anyone here install kdenlive? Cause I installed it through Synaptic Package Manger and it doesn't come up under Sound & Video. Why?
[18:14] <fde> orci: I don't think so, no
[18:14] <orci> fde, a "filter rule"?
[18:15] <a_l_e> ForsakenSoul: i guess that other computer on your local network can reach the internet...
[18:15] <orci> fde, all right, thank you for helping me. sorry for confusion
[18:15] <wwpiexec> SOURdiesel: if its a swap partition and its being used.. then you need to swapoff
[18:15] <fde> orci: I understood what you meant... no, I don't think its possible... synaptic and any other libapt frontend makes no such distinctions... they are all just packages to it
[18:15] <ForsakenSoul> a_l_e:  of course
[18:15] <ForsakenSoul> the router has mac filtering
[18:15] <fde> orci: like I said though, take a look at  /var/log/apt/term.log
[18:15] <orci> fde, that feature would be cool though
[18:15] <ForsakenSoul> and runs a dhcp server
[18:16] <orci> fde, yes got it thanks
[18:16] <SOURdiesel> wwpiexec: so swapoff the swap partition and resize the extended partition, correct?  or do i just resize the swap partition?
[18:16] <a_l_e> ForsakenSoul: ... and if you try to use another system on your computer do you get into the internet?
[18:16] <fde> orci: request it via bugs.launchpad.net or brainstorm.ubuntu.com and see how you get on?
[18:17] <wwpiexec> SOURdiesel: yes, swapoff.. then you need to resize the extended partition.. then resize anything inside it to cover the extra space
[18:17] <ForsakenSoul> a_l_e: yes it works almost perfectly with xp
[18:17] <ForsakenSoul> except maybe slowing down from time to time
[18:17] <ForsakenSoul> and such stuff
[18:17] <a_l_e> can you ping IPs outside of your localnet? (without using dns)
[18:17] <SOURdiesel> wwpiexec: do i need to do this off the live cd or can it be done normally?
[18:17] <Jeremy93283> Anyone here install kdenlive? Cause I installed it through Synaptic Package Manger and it doesn't come up under Sound & Video. Why?
[18:17] <a_l_e> ForsakenSoul can you ping IPs outside of your localnet? (without using dns)a
[18:18] <ForsakenSoul> hmm a_l_e I haven't tried
[18:18] <ForsakenSoul> I tried only using domain names
[18:18] <Great_Gatsby> what do i need to play .rv files
[18:18] <cmo> hi, i try to use backup-manager, but i get the followed error, there are no reported bugs and it worked before.. /usr/share/backup-manager/sanitize.sh: fork: Cannot allocate memory
[18:18] <wwpiexec> SOURdiesel: you can do it normally.. but if the ubuntu root partition is inside the extended partition then you wont be able to unmount it.. you'll then need to use the livecd
[18:18] <a_l_e> ForsakenSoul: can you try <IP_ADDRESS>? (it should be google)
[18:19] <ForsakenSoul> hmm not in the moment
[18:19] <ForsakenSoul> give me 5-10 minute
[18:19] <Kasle> Does anyone know where i can get norwegian language pack and spelling/gramma pack to OO 3.0?
[18:19] <ForsakenSoul> minutes
[18:19] <wwpiexec> so if I "dpkg --get-selections > file"  then "dpkg --set-selections < file" would that work?
[18:19] <SOURdiesel> wwpiexec: root partition is sda1. extended is sda2.
[18:20] <wwpiexec> SOURdiesel: if you can unmount all partitions inside the extended then you are good..
[18:20] <ForsakenSoul> a_l_e: just a note that it doesn't work on both network manager 6.X and 7.0
[18:20] <[All_poh_on_me]> Good-by all!
[18:20] <Great_Gatsby> there is nothing on google about .rv files
[18:20] <Great_Gatsby> what do i need to get it playing

[18:21] <wwpiexec> Great_Gatsby: what are rv files?
[18:21] <fde> wwpiexec: there is a factoid that expands on that, but I can't seem to recall it
[18:21] <Great_Gatsby> i have no idea
[18:21] <Great_Gatsby> its supposed to be a video
[18:21] <Ximal> hmm...  hey gatsby ... search restricted codecs in add remove and try installing the restricted files
[18:21] <wwpiexec> i'll fish ubottu for it :-)
[18:22] <Ximal> or enabling them through your system menu ;)
[18:22] <Great_Gatsby> i've already done that xian
[18:22] <wwpiexec> Great_Gatsby: have you tried VLC?!

[18:23] <Great_Gatsby> i've tried every player
[18:23] <rski> where di o start?
[18:23] <Great_Gatsby> xine mplayer vlc and totem arent working
[18:23] <dacorr> a_I_e, i think an ICMP ping should be fine without DNS
[18:23] <Ximal> wait gatsby ... might have something for u momentarily..
[18:23] <Great_Gatsby> mplayer i get sound but no video
[18:24] <wwpiexec> Great_Gatsby: this is less the optimal. but it might work... http://www.real.com/linux
[18:24] <wwpiexec> less than*
[18:24] <ForsakenSoul> a_l_e: no it doesn't work
[18:24] <ForsakenSoul> the ip works when I'm near the first router
[18:24] <a_l_e> near?
[18:24] <ForsakenSoul> but doesn't when I go in the range of the other one
[18:24] <fde> !cloning > wwpiexec
[18:24] <Ximal> great_gatsby : go here : http://oldversion.com/program.php?n=real .... this is the windows installation link for basic real player's old version.. install it through wine if u can't get anything else to work
[18:24] <a_l_e> ah
[18:25] <wwpiexec> fde: thanks :-)
[18:25] <pooze> I think I heard recently that there are some open source ATI drivers available for ubuntu 8.10 (or rather the X-server that comes with it). What are they called? What can I search for to find what I need to install it?
[18:25] <ForsakenSoul> a_l_e: I mean it doesn't work :D
[18:25] <ForsakenSoul> but the ip is valid
[18:25] <wwpiexec> Ximal: they have a linux version

[18:26] <wwpiexec> Ximal: and a DEB package
[18:26] <bbelt16ag> will post
[18:26] <sijmen> long question short: is current Ubuntu on aluminium iMac a go or no-go? the least I want is Wi-Fi and full screen resolution. 3D accel would be great
[18:26] <Ximal> that may be true but wine is on ubuntu for a reason... to run programs at an optimal reason
[18:26] <bbelt16ag> I am using  the automaticbackup.sh  script dor dar.
[18:26] <Ximal> hmm... ok..
[18:26] <bbelt16ag>  I will  post them both and the cron stuff

[18:28] <pooze> what are the open source ATI drivers for X called?
[18:28] <wwpiexec> ForsakenSoul: just to make it clear.. other OSes on the same machine works fine.. except for ubuntu?
[18:28] <ForsakenSoul> dacorr: one is just a wireless transmitter
[18:29] <ForsakenSoul> the first router has mac filtering and runs a dhcp server
[18:29] <ForsakenSoul> wwpiexec: xp works great
[18:29] <ForsakenSoul> haven't tried anything else

[18:32] <dacorr> forsakensoul, the wireless transmitter is part of the routers network and the router has access to the internet?

[18:33] <leeping2008> Hey there, I've installed a new version of Glib because some of my programs require it.  However, I don't want to uninstall the old version because Ubuntu will then remove lots of packages that depend upon it.  Currently I am having trouble keeping both versions, because the "configure" scripts that I use often detect both versions of glib and then crash.  How do I resolve this??
[18:33] <Gnea> w0ls0n: as long as the system detects it in POST, ubuntu will find it just fine
[18:33] <bbelt16ag> this is the  dar  config file I am runing from dar
[18:33] <bbelt16ag> http://pastebin.ca/1260582
[18:33] <w0ls0n> any idea of what kind of cards to get?
[18:33] <bbelt16ag> I suspect there is something  wrong with /sbin/automatic_backup.sh -auto  ...
[18:33] <bbelt16ag>  not sure though
[18:33] <ForsakenSoul> dacorr: yes ... the transmitter is connected to a switch which is connected to the router
[18:33] <Gnea> whatever doesn't have a bad review :)
[18:33] <Gnea> w0ls0n: you might want to check tomshardware.com
[18:33] <ForsakenSoul> I tried connecting the transmitter directly to the router but there was no luck with that
[18:33] <bbelt16ag> this part seems to be what's wrong no  idea where it is though
[18:33] <bbelt16ag>   [: 223: ==: unexpected operator
[18:33] <w0ls0n> ea I'm just looking on newegg now
[18:34] <bbelt16ag> in email
[18:34] <wwpiexec> bbelt16ag: it probably in the script at line 223
[18:34] <Student-35xx> hi, my wireless card isnt showing with iwconfig, anything I have to do prior to "iwconfig" to see them?
[18:34] <bbelt16ag> ok
[18:34] <bbelt16ag> oh
[18:34] <ForsakenSoul> dacorr: as I said earlier ... I can get into the local network but not in the net
[18:34] <simongmzlj> Student-35xx: whats your wireless card
[18:35] <simongmzlj> Student-35xx: you are probably lacking drivers and/or firmware
[18:35] <dacorr> forsakensoul, so the router is the DNS point acting as a gateway and your network settings tell the computer to use it as a gateway?
[18:35] <bbelt16ag> ok
[18:35] <ForsakenSoul> hmm yeah
[18:35] <bbelt16ag>  this part
[18:35] <bbelt16ag> NoUserChoice=false if [ $# -ne 0 ]   then     if [ "$1" == "-auto" ]       then         NoUserChoice=true       else         Usage         exit 1     fi fi
[18:35] <r3dxp> I have set the xorg.conf file correctly to load my nvidia drivers when x server is started, but something else is being loaded that changes my resolution from 1680x1050 to 800x512 and i do not know what is causing this... the output of Xorg.0.log file that shows the change is pasted to http://pastebin.com/m445f05ec
[18:35] <ForsakenSoul> the gateway is usually <IP_ADDRESS>
[18:36] <bbelt16ag> wiat a mintue ...
[18:36] <ForsakenSoul> dacorr: just a note that I tried on different lap tops and different network managers
[18:36] <bbelt16ag> is  it cause the  shell for  cron is  /bin/sh ? not  /bin/bash?
[18:36] <dacorr> forasakensoul, is it a belkin or netgear router?
[18:37] <ForsakenSoul> dacorr: both the router and the transmitter are canyon
[18:37] <bbelt16ag> yup
[18:37] <bbelt16ag>  damn it
[18:37] <bbelt16ag>  stupid cron...
[18:37] <bbelt16ag> ok  as you can see in my /etc/crontab  I did change it to  /bin/bash...
[18:37] <maeth> im having problems with the alsa drivers
[18:37] <bbelt16ag> how do I make it comply?

[18:38] <bbelt16ag> those  pms don't pop up  ub
[18:38] <w0ls0n> so theres not list anywhere with supported ubuntu addon sata cards?
[18:38] <Student-35xx> simongmzlj: Intel Pro/wireless 3945ABG Network connector, is this it?
[18:39] <hwilde> !enter | bbelt16ag
[18:39] <bbelt16ag> sorry
[18:39] <maeth> i know sound is working fine cause i tested it with OSS system, and it works... but firefox and flash animations still works with alsa and the sound is like getting static on the speaker
[18:39] <fde> esbatium: sudo aptitude install apt-file && apt-file update && apt-file search mpicc
[18:39] <matmarroba> The problem is this. instead of gdm starting, kinit writes some messages and the computer freezes in tty1, waiting for a login
[18:39] <maeth> anyone knows about this?
[18:39] <hwilde> bbelt16ag, ok now in one line, what is your problem?
[18:40] <matmarroba> Check it out here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=984651
[18:40] <dacorr> forsakensoul, have you tried manually setting your /etc/resolv.conf to the router or the DNS servers of the ISP?
[18:40] <mewshi> hi ^-^
[18:40] <matmarroba> Is there a solution?
[18:40] <mewshi> I need help with setting up a proxy for IRC.  Can someone help me?
[18:40] <esbatium> fde: /bin/bash: Illegal option -o pipefail
[18:40] <esbatium> fde: E: Can't write in /var/cache/apt/apt-file
[18:41] <maeth> hello? :S
[18:41] <ForsakenSoul> dacorr: no
[18:41] <fde> esbatium: idk why its saying that... packages.ubuntu.com  can search for contents too though
[18:41] <dacorr> forsakensoul, you should have nameserver and an IP in there already as it is automatically generated
[18:41] <ForsakenSoul> dacorr: would you help me do that ... because ... I'm still kinda not familiar with those kinds of settings :(
[18:41] <mewshi> can someone please help me set up an IRC proxy?
[18:42] <hwilde> mewshi, why do you need htat ?
[18:42] <fde> mewshi: you mean something like bitlbee?
[18:42] <mewshi> because my campus library is stupid
[18:42] <dacorr> forsakensoul, terminal, type gedit /etc/resolv.conf and see if there is anything in the file
[18:42] <mewshi> they block almost all ports but 80
[18:43] <jtisme> does /var/apt/cache/archive contain updates after you have run synaptics
[18:43] <ForsakenSoul> hmm
[18:43] <ForsakenSoul> dacorr: just nameserver
[18:43] <mewshi> Can someone please help me?
[18:43] <ForsakenSoul> dacorr: and a begin info block
[18:43] <fde> jtisme: it has every package that apt has touched that is still on your machine... so yes
[18:43] <hwilde> mewshi,  just use  http://www.mibbit.com/
[18:43] <bbelt16ag> sigh..... it appears that my crontab is using the wrong shell,  sh not bash .  and its erroring  out making those annoying email messages to me... so I  deduced..  now  question if I put in bash /sbin/automatic_backup_home_monthly.sh -auto will that fix it? in my crontab?
[18:43] <dacorr> if not type in the file (may need sudo for it) nameserver and the ip of your router and maybe another nameserver and the ip of your isp
[18:43] <bbelt16ag> hwilde:
[18:43] <jtisme> fde thanks
[18:43] <ikonia> mewshi: so you have a machine that can access the IRC network to act as a proxy
[18:44] <mfoniso> ??
[18:44] <hwilde> mewshi, http://www.mibbit.com/    this will let you connect to IRC through a webpage on port 80
[18:44] <dacorr> after nameserver put the ip of the router and save
[18:44] <benovic> usind vi: how do i write a : in the text without entering the command mode?
[18:44] <mfoniso> this is might weird... no one here?
[18:44] <ikonia> mewshi: where do you plan to run the proxy
[18:44] <benovic> using...
[18:44] <mewshi> That's what I'm using NOW, and I hate it.
[18:44] <hwilde> benovic, hit i to go into insert mode
[18:44] <benovic> ahh :)
[18:44] <ikonia> mewshi: do you have a machine on the internet that you can connect to to run the proxy
[18:44] <mewshi> the people in -ops told me I could run a proxy on here
[18:44] <mewshi> on this machine, I mean
[18:44] <ikonia> mewshi: no - do you have a machine on the internet to run the proxy on
[18:45] <dacorr> i had problems with this as my router was a DNS forwarder i then tried wicd as a network manager, and it fixed it
[18:45] <a_l_e> ehm ehm... is there a (good) way to get the bluetooth keyboard working in gdm?
[18:45] <aLeSD> where I could find the log of samba ?
[18:45] <mewshi> They told me I could run one on this machine.

[18:46] <erUSUL> rayr: emacs-nox ?
[18:46] <fde> aLeSD: what do you mean the general one?
[18:46] <sabayonuser> I did an Ubuntu install with usb-creator a while back but syslinux wouldn't boot it like so: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/10/06/error-could-not-find-kernel-image-linux/ . So, I moved the syslinux configurationn files to the root of the device and ran syslinux -sf /dev/sdXX as well as lilo -M /dev/sdX and I still suffered the same problem.
[18:46] <fde> aLeSD: that is where all samba logs go
[18:46] <mewshi> I'm just telling you that that's what I was told by the people in #ubuntu-ops
[18:46] <ikonia> mewshi: I'm in that channel, I can see what your saying
[18:46] <aLeSD> fde: thanks
[18:47] <mewshi> Ugh...
[18:47] <mewshi> I swear to god, they had *better* just unblock the damn ports.  This is ridiculous.
[18:47] <erUSUL> rayr: no problem

[18:48] <swmiller6> I have a Iomega network drive in my office. Ubuntu 8.10 on my laptop. I can write to the drive however when I mount it using nautilus it displays the drive as empty. All other window shares on our network show up and function as expected. any suggestions?
[18:48] <buu> Quick question, I've got some 'bogus' menu entries on my 'Applications' drop down (they were installed by third party programs that weren't actually debs). How do I remove the menu entry from that list? Going to 'add/remove' seems to be a list of programs, and these particular entries don't show up.
[18:48] <ikonia> mewshi: this is not an ubuntu problem, so please stopdiscussing it
[18:48] <m2k> can anyone point me to some documentation on the encrypted root alternate install cd option?
[18:49] <mewshi> It is an ubuntu problem, since I run ubuntu, and I'm having a problem with something.  Just because it isn't *directly* related to ubuntu doesn't mean it's not an ubuntu problem.
[18:49] <Pici> mewshi: Thats not the focus of this channel.
[18:49] <jtisme> fde are all updates .deb  files
[18:49] <fde> jtisme: yes
