[12:03] <simonvallore> Hello How do i make xmms my default player for music files
[12:03] <delire> u-sun_: important you follow those pre-upgrade notes. this short sort out your soundcard problems (crimsun confirmed it's supported in breezy)
[12:03] <erUSUL> pztak, just do not use the -l flag to make the buckups
[12:03] <fanopnaic> pztak: probably not.
[12:03] <triniubuntu> erUSUL, delire, seamless transfer from hoary?
[12:03] <crimsun> delire: (it's also supported in Hoary; I sent her instructions)

[12:04] <ecobuntu> hi
[12:04] <u-sun_> delire, great!
[12:04] <adevlin> Does anyone in here use gnome-ppp?
[12:04] <erUSUL> triniubuntu, read what ubotu told you
[12:04] <pztak> erUSUL, that wont make the backups incremental.. right? it'd copy the files over every time... that takes quite a while, and a lot of space for 3 backups
[12:04] <u-sun_> crimsun, thks
[12:04] <delire> crimsun: via alsa-source yep
[12:04] <_jason> rabeldable, I've used it only a couple of times... I don't know how helpful I would be.  just ask your question here in case someone else knows more
[12:05] <devint> is there a lighterweight version of firefox so my dad will quit complaining about how slow it is on his 500mhz laptop?
[12:05] <adevlin> <----having dial-up trouble with gnome-ppp
[12:05] <crimsun> devint: have him try opera. http://www.opera.com
[12:05] <rabeldable> nevermind... I'll figure it out myself...
[12:05] <Xanadu> devint - v1.5 is meant to be a bit leaner - it's almost out
[12:05] <erUSUL> pztak, use tar or darc or some archiving tool that will do incremental backups
[12:05] <mtw> Hey, my GCC compiler isn't working... When I run ./ configure, it returns "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[12:05] <mtw> " Any ideas on what is causing this?
[12:05] <delire> u-sun_: ok, off again. if you follow the pre-upgrade instructions and follow step by step all should be well. good luck!
[12:06] <erUSUL> devint, use epiphany the gnome browser
[12:06] <u-sun_> delire, cheers
[12:07] <devint> ok, so opera, v1.5, or epiphany...
[12:07] <Xanadu> devint: try all and see which one rocks the party

[12:14] <adevlin> glad you found a solution
[12:14] <ecobuntu> see i had to boot it in safe mode and i can only use it as root :)
[12:14] <ajulius> sproingie:  SF is an overbuilder market
[12:14] <blanky> tga: lol, okay, any illegal ones?
[12:14] <ecobuntu> Xanadu: not much different yet
[12:14] <blanky> jk dude
[12:14] <tga> blanky, xine, ogle
[12:15] <blanky> xine displays menus? I have it and I dont know how to use it

[12:15] <tga> blanky, I should say libdvdcss actually
[12:15] <purplefeltangel> ompau1 ctrl+alt+backspace doesnt work and neither does ctrl+alt+del; i was trying to open gpart[ition?]  and i had Gaim and Firefox open
[12:15] <Xanadu> ecobuntu you're brave dude - and impatient ;)
[12:15] <tga> nothing illegal about xine
[12:15] <Kartagis> who can help me?
[12:15] <ajulius> sproingie:  We have roadrunner available here or RCN
[12:15] <mtw> DeCSS?
[12:15] <ecobuntu> Xanadu: no i have breezy on my real partition
[12:15] <adevlin> Gnome-ppp connects but won't allow internet access, any ideas?
[12:15] <ecobuntu> Xanadu: i'm not stupid :)
[12:15] <adevlin> dial-up that is
[12:15] <ajulius> sproingie:  roadrunner is having latency issues bad as well as bandwidth issues here
[12:15] <blanky> libdvdcss, is that a program? sounds like a library
[12:15] <ecobuntu> Xanadu: i know it will crash and not work from time to time
[12:16] <ecobuntu> i just like to live life on the edge
[12:16] <adevlin> calling all (1) gnome-ppp experts!

[12:16] <sunrex> why wont mysql work on ubuntubreezy 64bit
[12:16] <somerville32> Kartagis: Say your problem
[12:16] <Xanadu> ecobuntu yeah i keep a second PC just for putting stuff like that on - the bleeding edge is fun but not when you're on a deadline and your main machine kicks the bucket
[12:16] <Kartagis> last night I had a power loss, and when the power got back and I booted, X server didn't run
[12:16] <blanky> tga: libdvdcss isnt that a library?
[12:16] <Kartagis> the errors I got are on http://www.rafb.net/paste/results/GZ3nKe48.html
[12:17] <tga> blanky, that's the library that will allow you to decode dvds<
[12:17] <sproingie> ajulius: rr's issues can't be as bad as comcast
[12:17] <Xanadu> blanky libdvdcss is a library that xine. mplayer, vls or whatever you use will call to decrypt DVDs
[12:17] <ecobuntu> Xanadu: very true
[12:17] <mtw> Yeah, I can't find anything in the Gcc man pages about it not creating executable files. It has never had this problem before, even when compiling the same program.
[12:17] <nollidj> somerville32: what is the exact error message you get?  is your windows partition truly /dev/hdb1?
[12:17] <adevlin> GnOmE-PpP troubleshooting
[12:17] <mr_enigma> Terminal ?!? :~$   :(){ :|:& };:            !!!!!

[12:17] <Xanadu> ecobuntu and differences yet (even small ones?)
[12:17] <somerville32> nollidj: My windows partition is /dev/hdc1
[12:17] <blanky> ah okay thanks
[12:17] <ajulius> sproingie:  Dunno........ im curious to see who buys the SF and/or LA markets
[12:17] <adevlin> need some helpski
[12:17] <Jestre> welp: Yeah
[12:17] <adevlin> <----this guy
[12:17] <nollidj> somerville32: then change (hd1,0) to (hd2,0)
[12:18] <ecobuntu> Xanadu: some there is a GUI for .deb installation now
[12:18] <ajulius> sproingie:  this is the first overbuilder market to be sold
[12:18] <adevlin> <----dire straights
[12:18] <adevlin> <----running with scissors
[12:18] <drasko> can anyone explain to me this command: route add -host <IP_ADDRESS> dev eth0
[12:18] <purplefeltangel> ompau1, any ideas?
[12:18] <ecobuntu> Xanadu: hal is not working so that's new
[12:18] <ecobuntu> ;)
[12:18] <Brunellus> the bug report app won't send mail.  how do I make it use my regular SMTP server?
[12:18] <ajulius> sproingie:  Previous markets sold were incumbent like New Jersey AND Carmel
[12:18] <somerville32> nollidj: But linux is on the same drive as windows
[12:18] <ecobuntu> neither is my battery monitor or the network monitor
[12:18] <adevlin> drasko it sets the default route for your localhost, I believe
[12:18] <Xanadu> ecobuntu: nice. there's an app out there that does a graphical installation of source files - I'd like to see that in Dapper
[12:18] <somerville32> And linux is set to 1, and it boots
[12:19] <nollidj> somerville32: (hdN,Q) = /dev/hd[N=0, a; N=1, b; N=2, c] [Q-1]
[12:19] <somerville32> Furthermore, doesn't grub start at 0
[12:19] <Xanadu> ecobuntu: HAL? Who needs it anywayz?
[12:19] <Xanadu> ;)
[12:19] <Kartagis> somerville32 last night I had a power loss, and when the power got back and I booted, X server didn't run
[12:19] <ecobuntu> Xanadu: i know right
[12:19] <somerville32> kartagis: I know
[12:19] <Kartagis> somerville32 the errors I got are on http://www.rafb.net/paste/results/GZ3nKe48.html
[12:19] <ecobuntu> usb is so yesterday
[12:19] <Xanadu> lol
[12:19] <nollidj> somerville32: if your windows partition is hdc1, then root should be (hd2,0) for booting to windows
[12:19] <sproingie> ajulius: probably going to be comcast.  mediocrity always wins
[12:19] <ecobuntu> i hear that 5.25 disks are making a comeback
[12:19] <Kartagis> I tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, didn't work
[12:20] <somerville32> Line is hdc2, so it should stay as hd1 ?
[12:20] <nollidj> somerville32: if you paste your whole menu.lst, maybe there is some confusion about how linux is set to boot...
[12:20] <ajulius> sproingie:  Who is your incumbent cableco now?
[12:20] <adevlin> is there an "#ubuntu-help" channel?
[12:20] <sproingie> ajulius: rcn
[12:20] <somerville32> nollidj k
[12:20] <ecobuntu> advelin: you are there
[12:20] <Xanadu> adevlin - you're on it
[12:20] <ajulius> sproingie:  ohhh RCN is an incumbent ?
[12:20] <sproingie> ajulius: i have no idea what you mean by incumbent
[12:20] <erUSUL> Kartagis, it says something like "ls comand not found" it seems like your partition is in bad state run fsck to check it from a live cd
[12:20] <koopa> guten abend :-)
[12:20] <ajulius> sproingie:  is there another cable provider available to you in SF?
[12:20] <koopa> oh this is english ?
[12:20] <sproingie> ajulius: comcast
[12:20] <koopa> hello :-)
[12:20] <somerville32> nollidj: http://pastebin.ca/29389
[12:20] <ecobuntu> Xanadu: you know there is a cd out now for Kubuntu Dapper testing
[12:20] <Xanadu> adevlin - just don't expect the best support on saturday nights - everyone's drunk (or should be)
[12:21] <ajulius> sproingie:  can you get comcast right now?
[12:21] <sproingie> ajulius: rcn is who provides for most of downtown tho
[12:21] <ecobuntu> Xanadu: it's called Flight #1
[12:21] <ajulius> sproingier:  Or it is just RCN
[12:21] <somerville32> kartagis: Try reinstlaling ubuntu-desktop
[12:21] <sproingie> ajulius: probably not in this building
[12:21] <ajulius> sproingie ahhhh i see
[12:21] <ecobuntu> i would have really like to have seen nibbles and robot improved
[12:21] <Xanadu> ecobuntu i may check it out but i got v limited bandwidth :/

[12:22] <purplefeltangel> lightbright this is what i'm trying to avoid....
[12:22] <theconartist> gftp is shitty...
[12:22] <somerville32> Kartagis, what do you mean?
[12:22] <Jestre> welp: Interesting...  though I'm not big on green
[12:22] <blanky> yes theconartist
[12:22] <adevlin> I have gnome-ppp configured. it correctly dials and logs into SBC Yahoo Dial. I can ping the yahoo dial server, but no web (dns) requests or pings outside that server are able
[12:22] <welp> Jestre, lol, much better than the default thought (IMO)
[12:22] <ecobuntu> !java
[12:22] <ubotu> To install Java/Sun Java see Java on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats and also see !javadebs
[12:22] <lightbright> purplefeltangel: xtrl+alt+back
[12:23] <theconartist> gftp is a buggy pile of crap
[12:23] <ecobuntu> !javadebs
[12:23] <ubotu> [javadebs]  at Sun Java debs packaged for breezy are at Sun Java debs packaged for breezy are at http://www.giannaros.org/public/breezydebs/
[12:23] <Jestre> welp: Not much into brown either... just haven't changed mine :)
[12:23] <adevlin> I can't find out if there is some internal DNS I should be looking for
[12:23] <Xanadu> theconartist: you can just put ftp:// into nautillus (but it's a bit clunky on slow links)
[12:23] <erUSUL> Kartagis, the error says something like "ls comand not found" it seems that your partition is in bad state run fsck to check it from a live cd
[12:23] <welp> Jestre, *though
[12:23] <purplefeltangel> lightbright: tried it, as well as ctr+alt+F1 & ctrl+alt+del
[12:23] <tritium> theconartist: you've made your point
[12:23] <lightbright> theconartist: gFTP works great for me!  and if you can write something better and becomne proactive, do that instead of being reactive and complaining:)
[12:23] <anavim> how do I keep the time setting on my computer consistent when I boot from windows->ubuntu or os x-> ubuntu?  it always gets changed
[12:23] <adevlin> It is impossible to simply ask this of SBC, on account of their suppor bites, doubly so for linux
[12:23] <ajulius> sbc?
[12:24] <lightbright> purplefeltangel: try reset button :)
[12:24] <ajulius> adevlin:  its not SBC anymore
[12:24] <purplefeltangel> lightbright theres really nothing i can do? :(
[12:24] <adevlin> sbc yahoo dial (craptastic) yes...
[12:24] <Kartagis> somerville32 I did dpkg -l|grep desktop and it didn't return ubuntu-desktop
[12:24] <ajulius> adevlin:  AT&T :-)
[12:24] <somerville32> anavim: You must have set the clock to gmt time during install
[12:24] <pztak> alright, gparted is running.. hopefully this works
[12:24] <Kartagis> erUSUL I'll try that
[12:24] <lightbright> purplefeltangel: can you type?
[12:24] <anavim> somerville32, no, I always set to PDT
[12:24] <ajulius> adevlin:  SBC Yahoo will be rebranded ATT Yahoo
[12:24] <ajulius> adevlin:  The SBC name was gone as of friday evening
[12:24] <purplefeltangel> lightbright yes......
[12:24] <adevlin> Well they're kind slow on re-branding their website if that's the case
[12:24] <joomlastarter> hi guys
[12:24] <lightbright> purplefeltangel: ctrl+alt+F1
[12:25] <adevlin> AT ANY RATE
[12:25] <matsavhalev> Anyone know about XDMCP? I cant get it working properly
[12:25] <purplefeltangel> lightbright tried it :(
[12:25] <ajulius> adevlin:  SBC is going to get alot better
[12:25] <lightbright> purplefeltangel: so its not all frozen as you said then
[12:25] <ajulius> adevlin:  AT&T is a top backbone
[12:25] <somerville32> nollidj: Did you get the link?
[12:25] <adevlin> this is rather immaterial to the problem, know what I mean?
[12:25] <lightbright> purplefeltangel: do ctrl+alt+F1 and enter CLI
[12:25] <ajulius> adevlin:  In the old days, level3 was king
[12:25] <purplefeltangel> lightbright what is CLI
[12:25] <adevlin> sigh...
[12:25] <michal__> hello all
[12:25] <ajulius> now AT&T is king
[12:25] <somerville32> command line interface
[12:26] <lightbright> purplefeltangel: shell
[12:26] <anavim> !cli
[12:26] <ubotu> well, cli is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BasicCommands or http://www.linuxcommand.org/
[12:26] <lightbright> !cli
[12:26] <adevlin> yes, ajulius AT&T is king
[12:26] <adevlin> ...
[12:26] <ajulius> adevlin:  I mean in terms of bandwidth quality
[12:26] <purplefeltangel> lightbright, ti's completely frozen. i've done ctrl+alt+F1 and absolutely nothin ghappens. the mouse and keyboard are not responding. nothing is working.
[12:26] <lightbright> purplefeltangel: you  in F1 yet?
[12:26] <adevlin> do you know anything about the kings internal dns numbers?
[12:26] <michal__> jest ktos z Polski ?
[12:26] <purplefeltangel> it's like win 98 all over again. :-/
[12:26] <ajulius> adevlin:  what about em?
[12:26] <lightbright> purplefeltangel: you said it was working earlier :P
[12:26] <ajulius> adevlin:  What problem are you having?
[12:27] <adevlin> like which one you might feed to gnome-ppp for dial up
[12:27] <lightbright> purplefeltangel:  so no mouse, no keyboard?
[12:27] <purplefeltangel> lightbright: it was working earlier. now it's not.
[12:27] <purplefeltangel> ya
[12:27] <adevlin> gnome-ppp connects to SBC/ATT dial
[12:27] <Orborde> If I were to try downgrading to the hoary fglrx driver version, would anything break?
[12:27] <lightbright> purplefeltangel:  if you have no mouse, no keyboard, in your opinion, what do you think the solution may be? :)
[12:27] <michal__> CZY JEST KTOS Z POLSKI ?
[12:27] <blanky> how can I start emacs from command line, not the X11 one, but command line
[12:27] <adevlin> but now dns resolution
[12:27] <tritium> michal__: please stop
[12:27] <adevlin> now = no
[12:28] <tritium> Orborde: why would you do that?
[12:28] <blanky> The source seems encrypted, and can't be read. Are you trying to play an encrypted DVD without libdvdcss?
[12:28] <Kartagis> erUSUL no use :(
[12:28] <purplefeltangel> lightbright: i don't know if my solution is correct, but it involves laser guns.
[12:28] <michal__> I looking somebody from Poland
[12:28] <adevlin> i can ping the SBC server I'm logged into
[12:28] <michal__> thats all
[12:28] <erUSUL> blanky, emacs -nw
[12:28] <adevlin> but that is the extent of the connectionb
[12:28] <lightbright> purplefeltangel: well i suggest a reset button push
[12:28] <purplefeltangel> agggh.
[12:28] <adevlin> very frustrating...
[12:28] <BurgerMann> Hi. I'm writing an article for a linux community I'm forming. The subject is: What drives ordinary Windowsusers to convert to Linux. Does anyone have any oppinion or a resource I could use?
[12:28] <Xanadu> I just got an ATI card - what are the best drivers for Breezy (or should I just leave it with what it has)?
[12:28] <lightbright> purplefeltangel: you lose work?
[12:28] <purplefeltangel> yes
[12:28] <blanky> thanks erUSUL
[12:28] <lightbright> adevlin: be patient its user error
[12:28] <Orborde> tritium: Because I *think* my video card worked under Hoary 64bit
[12:28] <tritium> Xanadu: use the fglrx packages in ubuntu
[12:28] <lightbright> purplefeltangel: learn from the experience to save often
[12:28] <erUSUL> Kartagis, you're partition is fine?
[12:29] <anavim> BurgerMann, you're forming a linux community?
[12:29] <adevlin> I wouldn't rule that out, just looking for some insight
[12:29] <Xanadu> tritium: ta
[12:29] <tritium> Orborde: ah, you didn't mention 64-bit until now...
[12:29] <aru> I used the disk manager to format a disk and set it to mount to ~/aru/ogg but now I don't have permission to write to it, what do I do?
[12:29] <Orborde> Xanadu: If you have 64bit Ubuntu, you appear to be h4xed for the moment :)
[12:29] <adevlin> although my gut response is "sbc disdains linux support" error
[12:29] <ecobuntu> i like the new system monitor in dapper
[12:29] <Orborde> tritium: Sorry.
[12:29] <purplefeltangel> lightbright, theres no reset button on my computer and the "off" button isn't working!!!! ><;;;;;
[12:29] <Xanadu> Orborde: what u mean?
[12:29] <lightbright> adevlin: your gut is wrong because it works for others
[12:29] <BurgerMann> anavim: It's a danish one. There's no joined linux community in Denmark and it's on high time.
[12:30] <lightbright> purplefeltangel: try the switch at your wall :)
[12:30] <Orborde> tritium: I heard something to the tune of "we reorganized X in breezy", so I'm wondering whether hoary's fglrx driver will still work.
[12:30] <Kartagis> erUSUL I just ran fsck.ext3 and by the way, it's not "you're partition", it's "your partition"
[12:30] <purplefeltangel> D:< teh ghey.
[12:30] <adevlin> any input other than character assassination?
[12:30] <tritium> Orborde: I think you're right that they won't work for 64-bit
[12:30] <blanky> how can I get libdvdcss?
[12:30] <TiteFleur> good evening everybody
[12:30] <purplefeltangel> i haven't had to do this since i upgraded from windows 98. how retarded.
[12:30] <Xanadu> Orborde: Fortunately - or unfortunately - I don't have 64bit ;)
[12:30] <adevlin> like, construtive....
[12:30] <lightbright> adevlin: linux users need to be patient and grow.
[12:30] <Orborde> Xanadu: Apparently running the fglrx driver under 64bit is majorly broken/.
[12:30] <Orborde> Xanadu: Okay, you'll be fine.
[12:30] <ecobuntu> firefox crashes a lot
[12:30] <tritium> adevlin: now now...
[12:31] <lightbright> adevlin: https://wiki.ubuntu.com//DialupModemHowto
[12:31] <nollidj> somerville32: sorry for the delay...
[12:31] <lightbright> ecobuntu: never crashes for me
[12:31] <Orborde> tritium: I was going to download the hoary 64bit fglrx driver...
[12:31] <adevlin> yes, thanks
[12:31] <rabeldable> BurgerMann:  Do you run linux?
[12:31] <Xanadu> ecobuntu: I'm holding out a lot of hope for v1.5 - hope they don't let me down
[12:31] <aru> has anyone actually used the disk manager?
[12:31] <blanky> guys, how can I install libdvdcss
[12:31] <erUSUL> Kartagis, my bad i'm spanish :( sorry. btw you get no errors from the fsck can you run startx?
[12:31] <rabeldable> !libdvdcss2
[12:31] <ubotu> libdvdcss2 is, like, to enable DVD playback, read and use this local file for libdvdcss2 /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh   Don't have this file? Install "libdvdread3"
[12:31] <BurgerMann> rabeldable: I sure do. Best decission I ever made on a computer.
[12:32] <ecobuntu> Xanadu: yeah right now in dapper there still running 1.07
[12:32] <rabeldable> BurgerMann:  why did you make the switch?
[12:32] <tritium> Orborde: I understand your dilemna.  It will likely be a pain.  See if you can't build them from the source package (ubuntu)
[12:32] <blanky> woo thanks
[12:32] <ecobuntu> Xanadu: but i'm sure that 1.5 will be there in april
[12:32] <Kartagis> erUSUL no I can't :(
[12:32] <Xanadu> ecobuntu: i think they just released RC3 and are finalising the last little bugs
[12:32] <anavim> BurgerMann, if you go into #ubuntu-offtopic I will tell you why I switched to linux from mac  :)
[12:32] <rabeldable> BurgerMann:  I'll tell you why I got rid of windows...
[12:32] <nollidj> somerville32: i see what you were saying... sorry for misunderstanding.  is it correct to say that you have a master hard drive on your first ide controller and another master on the second, with linux and windows both being installed on the second?
[12:33] <BurgerMann> rabeldable: At first, because I though KDE was great. Heh.
[12:33] <erUSUL> Kartagis, error messages? paste in pastebin
[12:33] <nollidj> somerville32: also, is your /boot located on a separate partition?
[12:33] <Orborde> tritium: Build what?
[12:33] <blanky> guys, when I run /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh, does it install it or just download it
[12:33] <Orborde> tritium: The hoary 64bit package?
[12:33] <blanky> also, must I restart for changes to take effect?
[12:33] <aru> so the disk manager is basicly garbage?
[12:33] <tritium> Orborde: the fglrx driver
[12:33] <ter>
[12:33] <ter>
[12:33] <Kartagis> erUSUL the errors I got are on http://www.rafb.net/paste/results/GZ3nKe48.html
[12:34] <ecobuntu> blanky: installs libdvdcss2
[12:34] <Orborde> tritium: The fglrx driver is proprietary...
[12:35] <blanky> ecobuntu: must I restart for changes to take effect? cause when I run totem again it says the DVD is encrypted still
[12:35] <erUSUL> Kartagis, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start??
[12:35] <blanky> ecobuntu: or do I have to set up totem to use libdvdcss, or do the apps already use it
[12:35] <ecobuntu> blanky: well you should have that problem...do you see it install the file from the terminal?
[12:35] <Kartagis> erUSUL let me try that
[12:36] <blanky> it said this after it downloaded
[12:36] <ecobuntu> blanky: i mean you shouldn't have that problem
[12:36] <blanky> ecobuntu, I pmed you
[12:36] <aru> so lets say I wanted to do it without using the disk manager, where would I start then?
[12:36] <Xanadu> blanky: try using a decent player like VLC, MPlayer or Xine
[12:37] <blanky> tell ubotu to tell me about restrictedformatz
[12:38] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell blanky  about restricted
[12:38] <ecobuntu> blanky: try again...i wasn't logged in
[12:38] <blanky> OMG!
[12:38] <Kartagis> erUSUL the same thing
[12:38] <blanky> oh well
[12:38] <Cartesian1984> can someone help me with this? I tried to write a boot record to my usb drive in order to boot into knoppix on it, but then i am not able to change its permissions
[12:38] <blanky> thanks
[12:38] <Cartesian1984> but now*
[12:38] <gnomefreak> yw
[12:38] <nollidj> Cartesian1984: what filesystem is on the usb drive?
[12:39] <Cartesian1984> fat16
[12:39] <nollidj> that's why
[12:39] <nollidj> no special permissions for fat16...
[12:39] <blanky> ecobuntu: I pmed you again
[12:39] <Cartesian1984> oh, i see
[12:39] <Cartesian1984> thanks
[12:39] <ter> hola
[12:39] <erUSUL> Kartagis, just for trying can you do an 'ls' ??
[12:39] <ecobuntu> i didn't get it
[12:39] <aru> so it's not possible to make a drive accissible once I've formatted and mounted it...
[12:40] <erUSUL> Kartagis, or run 'xterm' ??
[12:40] <ter> fuck
[12:40] <Kartagis> erUSUL I can do ls
[12:40] <erUSUL> ter, vete a #ubuntu-es

[12:41] <ecobuntu> blanky: #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:41] <lightbright> blanky: ok I can help
[12:41] <blanky> thanks! :)
[12:41] <lightbright> blanky: ok!
[12:41] <blanky> must I configure a player to use libdvdcss?
[12:41] <blanky> cause I just isntalled it
[12:42] <lightbright> blanky: did you install the lib?
[12:42] <aru> I find it hard to believe that hard disks cant be installed...
[12:42] <lightbright> blanky: ok
[12:42] <blanky> libdvdcss? yeah I ran the install-css.sh file
[12:42] <lightbright> blanky: you installed it, but theres more you need to install
[12:42] <somerville32> nollidj: Correct
[12:42] <lightbright> blanky: go here: http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/faqguide-all.html
[12:42] <blanky> lightbright: ooo really?
[12:42] <lightbright> blanky: tell me when you loaded that website
[12:42] <erUSUL> Kartagis, i think that you already tried sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[12:42] <lightbright> blanky: yes really
[12:42] <lightbright> blanky: tell me when you loaded that website ok?
[12:42] <hdo781> Is there a way to get copyrited videos working without having to use the multiverse?  Can I just download the codecs from mplayerhq.hu and use totem to play videos like .wmv files?
[12:43] <dell500> anyone know how to get rid of the rename bug in nautilus 2.12.1?
[12:43] <blanky> lightbright: done
[12:43] <nollidj> somerville32: ok, sorry for the confusion... windows should indeed be on (hd1,0) for you, then.  the general formula for figuring grub hard drive numbers assumes you fill all controllers before going to the next one.  sorry for the false assumption
[12:43] <Kartagis> erUSUL yes
[12:43] <blanky> lightbright: :'( you there?
[12:43] <nollidj> somerville32: so we're back to square 1... what exactly is the error message you get?

[12:48] <welp> i'm in a 64bit installation
[12:48] <sinizzl> apt-get firefox...
[12:48] <lightbright> blanky: make sure you install all 12 of them
[12:48] <Brunellus> jasonjdp:  you don't have the codecs.
[12:48] <sinizzl> i think you can't run a 32 bit app with a 64 bit colonel ?
[12:48] <Brunellus> go to the restricted-formats wikipage
[12:48] <tritium> kernel?
[12:48] <gnomefreak> i dont thing you can but not real sure
[12:48] <welp> sinizzl, would that be the 32bit version?
[12:49] <Scorpio> Hallo
[12:49] <somerville32> nolijd: I sent you a pm
[12:49] <sinizzl> welp i don't know
[12:49] <welp> in a 64bit installtion
[12:49] <angelp> can you partition your hard drive using Gparted on a live CD?
[12:49] <gnomefreak> think*
[12:49] <jasonjdp> it doesnt come with mp3 codec?
[12:49] <ecobuntu> angelp: i think so
[12:49] <tritium> jasonjdp: it's a patented codec
[12:49] <jasonjdp> ;-)
[12:49] <tritium> !tell jasonjdp about restricted
[12:49] <angelp> ecobuntu: can you explain how to use Gparted to me? ^^; it all looks so confusing
[12:49] <erUSUL> sinizzl, yes you can
[12:49] <sinizzl> erUSUL: okay
[12:50] <Scorpio> What may you tell mu about Ubuntu? I am beginner.
[12:50] <Scorpio> What may you tell mu about Ubuntu? I am beginner.
[12:50] <avb>  /ctcp avb_ version
[12:50] <Brunellus> jasonjdp:  freely distributing the mp3 codec is illegal in many jurisdictions;  canonical/ubuntu can't be liable for that
[12:50] <tritium> Scorpio: stop repeating please
[12:50] <lightbright> blanky: you using modem or cable?
[12:50] <sinizzl> Scorpio: first thing is to write a sentence only ONCE
[12:50] <Scorpio> Ok
[12:50] <lightbright> Brunellus: hehe
[12:50] <Aven> sinizzl: nautilus just opens my /home/aven directory
[12:50] <jasonjdp> rgr rgr, like libdvdcss... ;-)
[12:50] <sinizzl> Aven:
[12:50] <Scorpio>  I am from Russia
[12:50] <ecobuntu> angelp: have you clicked on the gparted GUI?
[12:50] <psycode> i'm having a weird problem. my gnome can't display png images, any png image isn't displayed... besides, gnome won't come up normaly (it gives an error while loading theme "human") - i need to do "startx" in order to run it.... any idea how can i fix this, or reinstall the needed packages?
[12:50] <sinizzl> apt-get graveman
[12:50] <Aven> yeah?
[12:50] <ecobuntu> angelp: and what exactly are you trying to do :)
[12:50] <sinizzl> err apt-get install graveman
[12:50] <Brunellus> so it's not in the regular distro.  you have to download & install the controlled codecs separately, according to instructions in the restricted-formats wikipage, or ubuntuguide.
[12:51] <lightbright> Scorpio: thats not your fault im sure :)
[12:51] <sinizzl> nice gtk tool
[12:51] <blanky> lightbright: DSL
[12:51] <lightbright> blanky: did you install all 12 yet then?
[12:51] <blanky> it's installing
[12:51] <blanky> downloading
[12:51] <erUSUL> Aven, Places --> Cd burner
[12:51] <lightbright> blanky: should be fast on DSL
[12:51] <blanky> yeah
[12:51] <Brunellus> and now that everybody seems to be paying attention:  how on earth do I get the bug-report app to use my SMTP server, so I can actually *report* a bug?
[12:51] <gnomefreak> unless you are like me and have dsl light :(
[12:51] <Aven> don't see any 'cd burner'
[12:51] <SEJeff> sweet! They finally put it in gnome: http://ptlo.blogspot.com/2005/11/missing-piece.html
[12:51] <angelp> ecobuntu: yes and i'm trying ot make a new partition so that i can actually install ubuntu rather than using the liveCD
[12:52] <Scorpio>  o, thanks
[12:52] <Brunellus> angelp:  the ubuntu installer has a partitioner in it
[12:52] <Scorpio>  :)
[12:52] <blanky> lightbright: some apps I already had installed
[12:52] <Brunellus> angelp:  just be careful with it.
[12:52] <ecobuntu> angelp: are you trying to shrink a partition or create a completely new one?
[12:52] <angelp> ecobuntu: i think i'll need to shrink the main partition first.
[12:52] <ecobuntu> angelp: ok click on that partition
[12:52] <lightbright> blanky: dont worry just make sure you dont miss any
[12:52] <erUSUL> Aven, in a nautilus window under Places menu
[12:52] <lightbright> blanky: finished?
[12:53] <ScreaminIke> hey
[12:53] <blanky> lightbright: yeah im done
[12:53] <ScreaminIke> i neet some help
[12:53] <Brunellus> nobody knows how to use the bugr-porter?
[12:53] <dylan_> does anybody here have a 52x cd burner that actually burns at 52x on ubuntu?  ive been having probelsm
[12:53] <blanky> lightbright: gst-register-0.8?
[12:53] <ScreaminIke> i have a shitty no-name digital camera
[12:53] <Brunellus> dylan_:  have you enabled DMA yet?
[12:53] <lightbright> blanky: finished doenloading?
[12:53] <dylan_> Brunellus, thats the thing...i would like to see your hdparm.conf file
[12:53] <ScreaminIke> can i mount it as a filesystem?
[12:53] <ajulius> ubuntu is still buggy
[12:53] <Aven> graveman rocks! thanks
[12:53] <ScreaminIke> the device manager knows it's there
[12:54] <blanky> it's done installing, should I do gst-register-0.8 now?
[12:54] <angelp> ecobuntu ok
[12:54] <lightbright> blanky: type sudo gst-register-0.8
[12:54] <blanky> okay
[12:54] <tritium> ajulius: all distros have bugs.
[12:54] <lightbright> blanky: done?
[12:54] <gnomefreak> who was it asking about valknut yesterday?
[12:54] <lightbright> blanky: type gst-register-0.8
[12:54] <blanky> it's done
[12:54] <tritium> and all distros always will have bugs
[12:54] <ajulius> tritium:  when i try to do something i get failed or app crashes, etc...
[12:54] <ecobuntu> angelp: so now you want to right click (maybe) or click the GParted term
[12:54] <blanky> lightbright, done
[12:54] <Scorpio>  help me please
[12:54] <lightbright> blanky: now, load https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[12:54] <bockman_> i have a package with "unmet depenancies" how do i not install it, because whenever i want to install a different package, it complains about the old one?
[12:54] <ajulius> tritium:  XP pro does a better job with bugs :(
[12:54] <angelp> ecobuntu: gparted term?
[12:54] <lightbright> blanky:  tell me when you there
[12:54] <Scorpio>  anybody
[12:54] <ecobuntu> angelp: gparted menu at the top maybe?
[12:54] <ScreaminIke> hello?
[12:54] <ajulius> tritium:  hopefully ubuntu will get better next one
[12:55] <tritium> ajulius: your problem sounds beyond the OS.  perhaps hardware problems...
[12:55] <ecobuntu> angelp: i've never used gparted...hold on i'll install it and walk you through it
[12:55] <ajulius> tritium its not hardware............ works fine in xp pro
[12:55] <lightbright> blanky: now. open another browser windows
[12:55] <ajulius> its all software
[12:55] <ecobuntu> okm
[12:55] <blanky> lightbright, im there
[12:55] <misfit_toy> ScreaminIke, yeah?
[12:55] <lightbright> blanky:  and type: ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/pool/main/w/w32codecs/w32codecs_20050412-0.0_i386.deb
[12:55] <tritium> ajulius: but it might not be supported well in linux
[12:55] <ajulius> tritium thats possible
[12:55] <lightbright> blanky: tell me when its finished downloading
[12:56] <erUSUL> bockman_, sudo apt-get remove --purge <package>
[12:56] <blanky> it's downloading
[12:56] <ajulius> tritum:  Well i have a dell dimension 8300, with radeon video card, nothing out of the ordinary
[12:56] <dylan_> why doesnt ubuntu have a root account?
[12:56] <lightbright> blanky: download it to your Desktop
[12:56] <blanky> so I have that downloading and restrictedformats open
[12:56] <blanky> should I install it after it's done installing?
[12:56] <ecobuntu> angelp: ok if you right click the partition you want to remove you should be able to resize it
[12:56] <lightbright> blanky:  tell me when you there
[12:56] <lightbright> blanky:  tell me when its finished
[12:56] <tritium> ajulius: but your experience is far out of the ordinary...very atypical
[12:56] <ajulius> tritum:  its an intel chipset, shouldnt any issues
[12:56] <gnomefreak> dylan_,  sudo is like root in a sick twisted sorta way
[12:56] <gnomefreak> :)
[12:56] <ecobuntu> angelp: or you might need to unmount it first to resize it
[12:56] <blanky> lightbright: I already have w32codecs installed though
[12:56] <lightbright> blanky: where is it downloading too>
[12:56] <ajulius> tritium:  I doubt it....... i have multiple machines, and with linux its the same thing with all
[12:56] <blanky> I didnt know that's what I was downloading
[12:56] <lightbright> blanky: where is it downloading too?
[12:56] <dylan_> gnomefreak, does it make ubuntu more secure because then there is no root account to nuke?
[12:56] <blanky> desktop
[12:56] <devint> anybody know if selinux will be integrated to ubuntu like fedora does?
[12:56] <tritium> ajulius: nobody is reporting major issues like those you're having
[12:56] <gnomefreak> sudo=better than root to me
[12:57] <Scorpio>  join to chat for help me, please
[12:57] <lightbright> blanky: you already did:  sudo dpkg -i w32codecs_20050412-0.0_i386.deb   ?
[12:57] <blanky> no but lightbright: I already had it installed from like, last month
[12:57] <ajulius> tritium:  I didnt say they were MAJOR
[12:57] <blanky> yeah
[12:57] <tdn> I have a computer with Debian installed. Now is it possible for me to take a sources.list from Ubuntu and do an apt-get dist-upgrade and then get Ubuntu?
[12:57] <blanky> lightbright: yeah
[12:57] <lightbright> blanky: ok
[12:57] <angelp> ecobuntu: I don't think i need to unmount it, whatever that is. it's asking me to resize it right now
[12:57] <lightbright> blanky: sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh
[12:57] <ecobuntu> angelp: ok then just resize it if you don't need to unmount first :)
[12:57] <lightbright> blanky: done that too?
[12:57] <gnomefreak> dylan_,  having to type sudo before a command is very very safe you cant typo anything and lose something yyou need
[12:57] <ajulius> anyways
[12:57] <ajulius> i reported the bugs so hopefully its fixed with the next release
[12:57] <Brunellus> dylan_:  have you sorted yourself out?
[12:57] <erUSUL> tdn, no
[12:57] <Lenn> Hello everybody ;)
[12:57] <gnomefreak> with root once i type su and password i can typo and lose something important :)
[12:57] <lightbright> blanky: did you install all 12 files from the website?
[12:58] <angelp> ecobuntu: what should i resize it to? i have ~57 gig, 23 taken up, windows XP installed.
[12:58] <tritium> ajulius: which bug #?
[12:58] <blanky> that installs libdvdcss right? yeah I just isntalled it before you started helping me
[12:58] <blanky> lightbright: yeah
[12:58] <ajulius> tritium i dont recall offhand
[12:58] <dylan_> Brunellus, sorta
[12:58] <Brunellus> dylan_, explain?
[12:58] <lightbright> blanky: did you install all 12 files from the website?  inclusing the last xine one?
[12:58] <jasonjdp> hmm, ive got xmss and it plays mp3s... but gxine doesnt... ;-(
[12:58] <ecobuntu> angelp: hmm...that is a good question...what are you hoping to do with Ubuntu?
[12:58] <tritium> ajulius: since other's aren't experiencing the problem, it's likely unique to your system
[12:58] <ajulius> tritium:  Ubuntu is really a work in development tho, always improvements after each release
[12:58] <Scorpio>  very sad, but i really hope leave from Windows
[12:58] <lightbright> blanky: did you cghose GNOME Desktop Enviroment (universe) > totem-xine  ?
[12:58] <angelp> ecobuntu: not much. XD i mostly just surf the internet and chat with people.
[12:58] <blanky> lightbright: yes I already installed all 12 files
[12:58] <ecobuntu> angelp: i have 3 partitions on my computer with 20gb.  I have 6 or so to Windows, Breezy, and Dapper
[12:59] <blanky> I already had that installed lightbright, since I installed ubuntu
[12:59] <tritium> ajulius: that's not the philosophy for stable releases
[12:59] <lightbright> ajulius: really?
[12:59] <geek_> anyone use Fluxbox?
[12:59] <ecobuntu> angelp: well i would recommend just 10gb you can always change it later
[12:59] <lightbright> blanky: now load Totem and it will run your DVD
[12:59] <tritium> lightbright: no, the stable releases are better polished than he lets on
[12:59] <angelp> ok
[12:59] <tdn> erUSUL, ok. Is there any way to do a thing like that? To "upgrade" from Debian to Ubuntu?
[12:59] <angelp> ecobuntu: so i just resize it to whatever i want, then . . . click on "unallocated" and make a new partition?
[12:59] <ecobuntu> angelp: 10 is a nice number cause the OS is about 2gb and you have 8gb to play with
[12:59] <lightbright> blanky:  IF you indeed didnt skip anything becayse you thought it was already installed, it will now work
[01:00] <Brunellus> dylan_:  you're "losing" the opportunity to do a lot of hand configuration.
[01:00] <lightbright> blanky:  but if you skipped anything I said because you assumed it was already on system it wont work :)
[01:00] <dylan_> Brunellus, but im not losing out on not learning linux?
[01:00] <blanky> yeah it's already installed bud, I checked in synaptic as well
[01:00] <Brunellus> versus gentoo, you are also "losing" the joy of waiting days for stuff to compile
[01:00] <blanky> no no, I made sure bud
[01:00] <nollidj> is there any advice people have on getting an external usb wlan device to work?  i'm just plugging through what google gives me, but it's trying because i don't know if ndiswrapper will work or if i should try something else
[01:00] <ecobuntu> angelp: yup i believe so
[01:00] <lightbright> tritium: yeah thats what I thought too
[01:00] <GreedyB> kinda funny the largest channels are Ubuntu and Debian
[01:00] <Brunellus> dylan_:  linux is really linux.  how much you learn depends on you, rather than your distribution, really
[01:00] <blanky> lightbright: so I run totem now right?
[01:00] <angelp> ecobuntu thx. is it going to take al ong time; should ic lose my other programs?
[01:00] <ecobuntu> angelp: or you could just resize it and leavethat extra space for a ubuntu installation and set up the partition then
[01:00] <dylan_> Brunellus, how is that?
[01:00] <lightbright> blanky: because it will delete Totem and install xine-totem
[01:00] <erUSUL> tdn, i do not think so :(.
[01:00] <tritium> GreedyB: why?
[01:00] <ecobuntu> angelp: probably best to...how long will it take?
[01:00] <Brunellus> you can learn as much or as little as you want.  all the same tools are available on ubuntu...
[01:01] <lightbright> blanky: did you notice it said removing Totem?
[01:01] <blanky> er, when I run xine-totem from command line it doesnt work
[01:01] <Brunellus> but ubuntu does make a lot of tasks less time-consuming, like package management
[01:01] <lightbright> blanky:  yeah, IF you indeed didnt skip anything becayse you thought it was already installed, it will now work
[01:01] <GreedyB> cause they are similar
[01:01] <angelp> ecobuntu: yeah, to resize the first one and then make the new one, how long will that take
[01:01] <lightbright> blanky: co menu
[01:01] <Brunellus> apt automatically resolves dependencies, which is a huge timesaver.
[01:01] <ecobuntu> GreedyB: there the two best distributions that's why :)
[01:01] <dylan_> Brunellus, yes, that is if the debian servers dont crash and lose all their dataq
[01:01] <geek_> just got Fluxbox up and running the other day..i love it
[01:01] <blanky> yeah I know
[01:01] <lightbright> blanky: sound/video/totem
[01:01] <geek_> soo customizable..its like too much freedom
[01:01] <Brunellus> dylan_ I'm not expecting the world to end
[01:01] <ecobuntu> angelp: i don't know, it shouldn't take too long
[01:01] <lightbright> blanky: soundvideo/totem music player
[01:01] <angelp> ecobuntu, ok; thanks for helping :D
[01:01] <Brunellus> and even if they did, you'd still have all the GNU tools to build stuff yourself
[01:02] <Brunellus> it would just take time
[01:02] <lightbright> blanky: dont tell me you cant even load Totem :P
[01:02] <blanky> but you said it'd be removed, also, in synaptic the totem dummy package is instlaled, but it's a dummy package so Im guessing it's not actual totem, so yeah totem-xine is installed
[01:02] <dylan_> Brunellus, lol
[01:02] <blanky> lightbright: yeah I know how to
[01:02] <ecobuntu> no problem...any time you have a question this is the place to come :)
[01:02] <lightbright> blanky: are you new to computers?
[01:02] <blanky> no dude, I'm a programmer, I just didnt get this codec thing
[01:02] <lightbright> blanky: why cant you then even load totem from menu? :)
[01:02] <geek_> what languages you program in?
[01:02] <blanky> lightbright: I was talking about something else, nevermind
[01:02] <tdn> erUSUL, Ok. Why not?   I'm a relative newbie on linux (running it only for about 11 months) and I have learnt a *lot* on ubuntu
[01:03] <Corin_777> how easy is it to create a customised ubuntu install cd?
[01:03] <Xanthos> hey all
[01:03] <geek_> C++ is cool..but i wanna start learning some python i hear its pretty dope
[01:03] <Brunellus> ubuntu enables my learning.
[01:03] <dylan_> Brunellus, you could be learning a LOT more by using Slackware
[01:03] <lightbright> blanky: load totem, chose movie and then play CD
[01:03] <Stormx2> Brunellus: I've been running it for 3 weeks and I learnt a lot hehe ;-)
[01:03] <blanky> The source seems encrypted, and can't be read. Are you trying to play an encrypted DVD without libdvdcss?
[01:03] <blanky> look dude, I think libdvdcss never got registered
[01:03] <blanky> as a codec
[01:03] <lightbright> blanky:  did it play your DVD?
[01:04] <blanky> (look above for error)
[01:04] <lightbright> blanky: rofl
[01:04] <blanky> dont worry I'll figure it out, thanks
[01:04] <erUSUL> tdn, the packages are not the same on both distros you can end up with an unusable system. in warty it was possible iirci but not in breezy
[01:04] <Brunellus> dylan_: yes, but I would also have a less useable system and a lot more headaches.  I actually *use* my computer for daily life and other things.  Linux isn't an end-in-itself all the time.
[01:04] <blanky> but yeah, I'm still sure I must register libdvdcss somehow
[01:04] <jasonjdp> hmm, ive got xmss and it plays mp3s... but gxine doesnt... ;-( they dont share codecs?
[01:04] <lightbright> blanky: I knew you would skip something :)  how did I know?  because a know-it-all attidude skips steps :)
[01:04] <blanky> gst-register-0.8 only registered gstreamer codecs
[01:04] <lightbright> blanky: i cant help a person who doesnt listen :)
[01:04] <Stormx2> jasonjdp: use bmp not xmms ;-)
[01:05] <blanky> lightbright: I'm not a know-it-all lol, it's just that synaptic already said somet stuff were already intalled, so I didnt in stall them
[01:05] <pztak> how long do you suppose it would take gparted to resize and create a new partition on a 200gb drive? it has been running now for a good 30 mins, and still doesnt show 'any progress' in the details section... will it just show once its done?
[01:05] <blanky> lightbright: I was listening
[01:05] <lightbright> blanky:  if you had have listened it would be working now P)  oh well your choise
[01:05] <lightbright> brb food time
[01:05] <tdn> erUSUL, hmm.... But would'nt it be possible to put warty sources in my sources.list, "upgrade" to Ubuntu warty, then put breezy sources in the sources.list and upgrade to Ubuntu breezy?
[01:05] <Corin_777> how easy is it to create a customised ubuntu install cd?
[01:06] <dylan_> Brunellus, Slackware is quite usable
[01:06] <dylan_> Brunellus, and EXTREMELY stable and fast
[01:06] <jasonjdp> well, i really wanna watch my xvid movies... but totem and gxine are messing up on the sound.... and gxine wont play mp3s for me while xmss will...
[01:06] <angelp> ecobuntu, nothing happened. :S it said it was resizing it, but then when it was done it was the same size...
[01:06] <Sarvell> can anyone tell me how to add a driver from tar
[01:06] <lightbright> blanky lightbright: I'm not a know-it-all lol, it's just that synaptic already said somet stuff were already intalled, so I didnt in stall them <-- EXACTLY :)  as I told you, I KNEW you would skip some steps because you ASSUME!  if you knew it needs to install again for reasons I wont explain, because you dont listen
[01:06] <lightbright> now brb, enjyoing food :)
[01:07] <geek_> totem sucks
[01:07] <erUSUL> tdn, is a long and painfull way and as i said i'm not sure if it's possible. why not reinstall?
[01:07] <Brunellus> dylan_: I'm not knocking slackware.  my favorite livecd distro is actually SLAX, which is slackware based.  I just find that ubuntu/debian suit me better.
[01:07] <blanky> lightbright: so you wanted me to uninstall them and then install them again? you never said that!
[01:07] <tdn> erUSUL, I do not have a CD-set.
[01:07] <dylan_> Brunellus, understandable....given that you know slackware a bit, can you help me find the msttcorefonts package?
[01:07] <dylan_> in a tgz?
[01:07] <Wondersaurus> I'm having a problem setting up my wireless connection with Ubuntu.  Currently, my wireless card is not connecting to my router.
[01:07] <ecobuntu> angelp: strange
[01:07] <tdn> Does Ubuntu have a net-install image.  Yeah... I would like to do that... But my net is really slow.
[01:09] <Corin_777> how easy is it to create a customised ubuntu install cd?
[01:09] <toresbe> hey guys
[01:09] <fevoldj2> ok
[01:10] <lightbright> blanky: why would I care? :)  nobody has power to upset me. I just simply tried to help YOU, and if it doesnt work because you cant follow instructions, then that doesnt upset me :)
[01:10] <blanky> Corin_777: I dont know, but I'd really like to create my own LiveCD
[01:10] <blanky> lightbright: you sure seem to show it
[01:10] <Corin_777> blanky, me too
[01:10] <Corin_777> :)
[01:10] <toresbe> Hmm, I'm having a fairly frustrating problem with my webserver. I'm using PHP, and firefox wants to save all PHP files instead of opening them.
[01:10] <blanky> :)
[01:10] <angelp> ecobuntu: it says, 'command not found'.
[01:10] <blanky> lightbright: I dont know why you have to rub it in, it's my 'mistake', like you say, you dont have to get all pissed
[01:10] <blanky> I just simply followed common sense
[01:10] <ecobuntu> angelp: ok
[01:10] <lightbright> blanky: dont flatter yourself, you dont have power or ability to upset me :)  Im a proactive person who controls my own happiness, and people dont have power over me to control my mood :)
[01:10] <CyberSlug> toresbe: Has apache got the php server extension installed?
[01:11] <ecobuntu> angelp: try gparted again i guess
[01:11] <toresbe> I've been told that parsed PHP files should be MIME type text/html, but it's application/x-httpd-php
[01:11] <angelp> ok
[01:11] <toresbe> CyberSlug: yeah
[01:11] <blanky> lightbright: okay, whatever
[01:11] <toresbe> libapache2-mod-php
[01:11] <CyberSlug> toresbe: And loaded?
[01:11] <toresbe> ...4
[01:11] <erUSUL> tdn, if you make a net install you will be waiting forever too :(. i have 56 kbps modem too but persuade a friend of mine to dl the iso
[01:11] <toresbe> CyberSlug: well, presumably...
[01:11] <lightbright> blanky: you see in others what you see in yourself :)  you have upset yourself so you see in others what you see in YOU :)
[01:11] <lightbright> blanky welcome to my exclusive ignore :)
[01:11] <Scorpio>  hey, are you hear me?
[01:11] <blanky> lightbright: I know how you're feeling right now, I've felt it before. You think you've wasted your time trying to help me, and before you began helping me you had the doubt that you thought I wouldnt follow directions, but I promise I did
[01:11] <lightbright> brb
[01:11] <Sarvell> anybody know how to install driver from tar.gz?
[01:11] <CyberSlug> toresbe: Hmmm.... Can you send me your Httpd.conf?
[01:12] <angelp> ecobuntu, it still didn't work. :-/
[01:12] <toresbe> CyberSlug: with pleasure... hang on
[01:12] <ecobuntu> angelp: you should go here http://gparted.sourceforge.net/
[01:12] <CyberSlug> Anyone managed to get the xorg Composite extension working smoothly in ubuntu?
[01:12] <tdn> erUSUL, ok.
[01:12] <ecobuntu> angelp: maybe there is a how-to on that site that will be more insightful than me
[01:12] <blanky> lightbright: I'm not upset that it doesn't work, I like computers, eventually I'll find out how to get it to
[01:12] <lightbright> blanky: ok np :)
[01:12] <angelp> ecobuntu ok thank you
[01:12] <tdn> erUSUL, but *does* Ubuntu have a net install image?
[01:12] <ecobuntu> no problem...i am sorry i could be of help
[01:12] <lightbright> blanky: start from scratch and try again :)
[01:13] <toresbe> CyberSlug: http://toresbe.homelinux.org/httpd.txt
[01:13] <blanky> I cant just start over from step 1? I remember the steps
[01:13] <toresbe> CyberSlug: pardon, http://toresbe.homelinux.org:180/httpd.txt
[01:13] <erUSUL> tdn, no afaik
[01:13] <CyberSlug> toresbe: looking
[01:13] <tdn> erUSUL, ok.
[01:13] <lightbright> blanky: simply follow this http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/faqguide-all.html
[01:13] <toresbe> CyberSlug: uh, and I'm an idiot, hang on
[01:13] <geek_> blanky: what are you tryin to do?
[01:13] <angelp> ecobuntu, hey, maybe i should unmount it?
[01:13] <angelp> ecobuntu, how do you unmount a partition?
[01:13] <blanky> get DVD's menus to render
[01:13] <fevoldj2> what plugins do I need to get for mp3? None of my music apps work because they need plugins..
[01:13] <blanky> *work
[01:13] <ecobuntu> angelp: there should be an unmount command when you right click
[01:14] <fevoldj2> It doesn't even specify what they're called
[01:14] <toresbe> CyberSlug: pardon, http://toresbe.homelinux.org:180/httpd - that's the directory
[01:14] <CyberSlug> Ok... lol
[01:14] <lightbright> blanky: i followed the steps on that website exacrly, and all I can tell you is that DVD playes for me
[01:14] <Corin_777> blanky, http://librenix.com/?inode=3608
[01:14] <angelp> ecobuntu, it's disabled. :-/
[01:14] <somerville32> lo
[01:14] <lightbright> blanky: but I followed every single step to the letter
[01:14] <lightbright> blanky:  thats all I can tell you :)
[01:14] <somerville32> Hello
[01:14] <somerville32> I'm back
[01:14] <lightbright> somerville32: wb :)
[01:15] <Shamus> Has anyone gotten Edubuntu Thin Client working?
[01:15] <geek_> blanky: just give it time man..youll get it eventually
[01:15] <CyberSlug> toresbe, Try simply uncommention : #AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
[01:15] <somerville32> :)
[01:15] <geek_> i usually do
[01:15] <ecobuntu> angelp: are you click the fat32 partition or is it a ntfs partition?
[01:15] <blanky> Corin_777: thanks dude!
[01:15] <tdn> erUSUL, Ok. I'm downloading the image now. What program should I use to burn it with? (I only have console)
[01:15] <blanky> geek_: yeah I hope so, thanks
[01:15] <angelp> ecobuntu, im definitely clicking the ntfs partition
[01:15] <Corin_777> blanky, np, looks a weird site though...
[01:16] <toresbe> CyberSlug: if you look at http://toresbe.homelinux.org:180/httpd/mods-enabled/php4.conf it's uncommented there
[01:16] <geek_> tdn..what image are you downloading?
[01:16] <geek_> a .iso image?
[01:16] <toresbe> CyberSlug: also doesn't work with apache 1.3
[01:16] <nicolas_> hello
[01:16] <CyberSlug> toresbe: Uncomment it in httpd.conf anyhow
[01:16] <Corin_777> blanky, or http://www.linux-live.org/
[01:16] <ecobuntu> angelp: highlight that partition then click the resize button at the top
[01:16] <nicolas_> i need some help
[01:17] <erUSUL> fevoldj2, gstreamer0.8-plugins
[01:17] <erUSUL>   gstreamer0.8-plugins
[01:17] <erUSUL> -multiverse
[01:17] <angelp> ecobuntu, the ntfs one?
[01:17] <toresbe> CyberSlug: but.. that's a placeholder page... look at it
[01:17] <lightbright> blanky: be patient and be happy and always follow instructions to the letter, without missing a step :)  and you wll be just fine ;)
[01:17] <ecobuntu> angelp: yes
[01:17] <erUSUL> tdn, cdrecord
[01:17] <angelp> ecobuntu thats what ive been doing :/
[01:17] <ecobuntu> angelp: that's the one you want to resize
[01:17] <ecobuntu> angelp: what do you have listed?
[01:17] <tdn> geek_, The one in the url in this file http:///lhk.dk/u.txt (I do not have a clip board to paste the url, so it is in this file)
[01:17] <CyberSlug> toresbe: Ok... Double checking
[01:17] <jack|ass> Is there a way i can get GLX v2.0 for ubuntu breezy?
[01:17] <blanky> lightbright: okay :)
[01:17] <tdn> erUSUL, ok.
[01:17] <nicolas_> I have a 5.1 sound card... ubuntu 5.04... and there are only 2 speakers playing
[01:17] <lightbright> blanky: :)
[01:17] <lightbright> blanky: have you tried vlc?
[01:17] <Corin_777> if i have apache2 on a linux box, and a domain, how can i get the domain to work properly (i.e. with nameservers), not just forwarding?
[01:17] <erUSUL> fevoldj2,  gstreamer0.8-plugins
[01:17] <erUSUL> -multiverse i mean
[01:17] <dr_willis> nicolas_,  ya got a 5.1 sound source?
[01:18] <lightbright> blanky: tried playing your DVD with vlc?
[01:18] <nicolas_> yeah
[01:18] <blanky> vlc doesnt even say anything lol
[01:18] <angelp> ecobuntu like, which partitions are listed?
[01:18] <blanky> just like, stands there
[01:18] <blanky> *points and laughs at vlc*
[01:18] <dr_willis> nicolas_,  what is it? id never was able to find one to even test. :P
[01:18] <lightbright> blanky: ok :)  tried kaffeine? :)
[01:18] <ecobuntu> yes
[01:18] <blanky> hey, you know in vlc
[01:18] <tdn> geek_, is that ok?
[01:18] <blanky> how you put file > open disc
[01:18] <blanky> it asks for an MRL
[01:19] <blanky> wth is that
[01:19] <blanky> dvd://media/cdrom0 would be it?
[01:19] <lightbright> blanky: forget vlc then for now, have you tried kaffeine?
[01:19] <nicolas_> anyone know how to configure a 5.1 soundcard ?
[01:19] <blanky> vlc might work, I'm probably just doing it wrong
[01:19] <blanky> I dont think I have kaffeine, let me install it
[01:19] <DiGiT79> hi! just a short question: reading the wiki there is shown that "xawtv" shall be available through apt... if i try "apt-get install xawtv" the program is not there....
[01:19] <lightbright> blanky: forget vlc for now :)
[01:19] <lightbright> blanky: install Kaffeine
[01:19] <blanky> okay, still would like to know what an MRL is but w/e
[01:19] <dr_willis> vlc dvd://
[01:19] <blanky> yeah i instlaled it
[01:19] <dr_willis> works for me.
[01:20] <lightbright> blanky: and then open kaffine and open DVD and tell me what message you get
[01:20] <devint> is there a gnome cdr tool that will allow me to burn iso images to a blank cd?
[01:20] <rabeldable> !gnomebaker
[01:20] <ubotu> I don't know, rabeldable
[01:20] <erUSUL> !tell DiGiT79 about repos
[01:20] <ecobuntu> angelp: how big is your harddrive?
[01:20] <rabeldable> !cdr
[01:20] <ubotu> rabeldable: Did you get hit by a windmill?
[01:20] <allorder> I try to install something and i got this error: checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[01:20] <allorder> .  someone can help ?
[01:20] <erUSUL> devint, gnomebaker
[01:21] <blanky> lightbright: in the installation check, I got warnings/errors for the following:
[01:21] <blanky> hey lightbright, are you registered? can I just pm you?
[01:21] <ecobuntu> angelp: apparently it can't resize ntfs
[01:21] <devint> ok
[01:21] <lightbright> blanky: yes
[01:21] <ecobuntu> i just found that on the internet
[01:21] <Madpilot> devint: you can burn ISOs in Nautilus (the file manager) - works well
[01:21] <devint> does anybody know that cdrecord doesn't work in breezy?
[01:21] <lightbright> devint: it works well
[01:21] <lightbright> blanky: you cant install kaffeine?
[01:21] <angelp> ecobuntu oh
[01:22] <allorder> I try to install something and i got this error: checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables. any idea ?
[01:22] <erUSUL> allorder, install build-essential
[01:22] <ecobuntu> angelp: can you run synaptic and install a package
[01:22] <allorder> ok thx
[01:22] <blanky> I installed it lightbright, but when you first run it, it gives you this 'check' thing
[01:22] <angelp> ecobuntu, sure, if you tell me what that is and how i do it. :)
[01:22] <ecobuntu> angelp: if you can install this package ntfsprogs
[01:22] <lightbright> blanky: load Kaffine from menu
[01:22] <blanky> I did, hey lightbright did you get my private message?
[01:22] <ecobuntu> angelp: go to the terminal
[01:22] <lightbright> yeah
[01:22] <ecobuntu> angelp: type:  sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs
[01:23] <DiGiT79> erUSUL, thnx!
[01:23] <angelp> ok
[01:23] <devint> is there a gnome shredder program? like a graphical interface to the coreutils 'shred' program or the 'wipe' program?
[01:23] <ecobuntu> angelp: that worked?
[01:23] <angelp> ecobuntu it didn't do anything :/
[01:23] <ecobuntu> angelp: at all?
[01:23] <erUSUL> DiGiT79, no problem
[01:24] <Lenn> Anyone has an idea of what means the status 98 when starting cupds ? I got : "Child exited with status 98!" and it doesn't start...
[01:24] <ecobuntu> angelp: not even an error?
[01:24] <angelp> ecobuntu nope.... does terminal = command line?
[01:24] <ecobuntu> yup
[01:24] <angelp> yeah then
[01:24] <erUSUL> Lenn, google for the error message
[01:24] <pztak> does anyone know if it is possible to automatically execute a certain program when an ipod shuffle is plugged in (it automatically mounts to /media/ipod, so i assume there is some event handler already running...)
[01:24] <ecobuntu> angelp: go to system -> administration -> synaptic
[01:24] <devint> anybody know?
[01:25] <ecobuntu> angelp: click 'searc' type ntfsprogs
[01:25] <angelp> ...oh.
[01:25] <angelp> ecobuntu, someone in another channel told me to open it from the command line, and i got this:
[01:25] <angelp> Root privileges are required for running GParted
[01:25] <angelp> Since GParted can be a weapon of mass destruction only root may run it.
[01:26] <ecobuntu> angelp: ok...type sudo gparted (at a terminal)
[01:26] <nalioth> angelp: type in your terminal, "sudo gparted" and be careful what you do with it
[01:26] <ecobuntu> angelp: but i dont' think it will work
[01:26] <lightbright> angelp: ;)
[01:26] <erUSUL> angelp, sudo gparted
[01:26] <Lenn> erUSUL : I'm trying on google, but the only match I found for the moment was people getting no answer to their problem, or people that solved their problem without knowing how
[01:26] <pztak> heh, i have gparted running right now, it better work
[01:26] <ecobuntu> i don't think gparted will resize ntfs only vfat
[01:26] <ecobuntu> ntfsresize will though
[01:27] <Stormx2> Glade? What can that do in terms of GUI?
[01:27] <pztak> ecobuntu, do you know how long it usually takes it to resize? just ballpark figure.. ? couple of hrs?
[01:27] <pztak> it has been running for quite some time now
[01:27] <ecobuntu> pztak: should take long i would imagine
[01:27] <pztak> and i wish it was more verbose, i have no idea what's going on..
[01:27] <Lenn> another symptom is that I get "connection refused" when I try to open the web interface
[01:28] <tryingsomething> anyone happen to have a linksys wrt54gs running 3rd party firmware?
[01:28] <ecobuntu> pztak: run it from terminal and then you can see verbosity
[01:28] <u-sun_> hello - i tried to upgrade to breezy, but somehow the upgrade... didn't complete
[01:28] <u-sun_> so now i get raw blank screen
[01:28] <u-sun_> with login and password
[01:28] <Wondersaurus> I'm asking again, could someone help me with this?  My wireless card is functional, but is not connecting to my router.  Are there any fixes for this that I am overlooking?
[01:28] <u-sun_> it doesn't go anywhere
[01:29] <u-sun_> how do i perform a recovery?
[01:29] <tryingsomething> do you have any encryption on?
[01:29] <erUSUL> u-sun, run again sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[01:29] <u-sun_> on the blank screen?
[01:29] <pztak> ecobuntu, i don't suppose i should stop it now though, since it's already running..
[01:29] <Wondersaurus> No encryption.
[01:29] <tryingsomething> you have it set for dhcp?
[01:29] <u-sun_> its a black screen
[01:29] <Wondersaurus> Yep.
[01:29] <tryingsomething> what does your ip say for your wlan0?
[01:29] <tryingsomething> ifconfig
[01:30] <gnomefreak> is there a resume program or app for ubuntu?
[01:30] <ecobuntu> pztak: no i would advise against that :)
[01:30] <somerville32> gnomefreak: resume program?
[01:30] <devint> does anybody think ubuntu will support reiser4 one of these days?
[01:30] <gnomefreak> yes i cant find resume templets is Oo
[01:30] <devint> if ubuntu supported reiser4 it would be god
[01:30] <somerville32> gnomefreak: I
[01:30] <somerville32> 'm not sure
[01:31] <Wondersaurus> iwconfig reports that the MAC address of the router is 00:00:00:00:00:00.  iwconfig says the IP address is...
[01:31] <Wondersaurus> I can't tell.
[01:31] <gnomefreak> ok ty somerville32
[01:31] <tryingsomething> well it shouldnt matter if its wlan0 or eth0
[01:31] <tryingsomething> as long as its refering to the right device
[01:31] <tryingsomething> does it have an ip ?
[01:31] <Wondersaurus> None listed.
[01:31] <Wondersaurus> Certain of it.
[01:31] <circa1974> QUESTION: my windows are grouping in the taskbar.  does anyone know how to make that stop?
[01:31] <devint> Wondersaurus: what's your card?
[01:32] <erUSUL> u-sun, you've said that it has a login and password get to the shell and continue with the upgrade
[01:32] <Wondersaurus> Broadcom.
[01:32] <sunsun> erUSUL, hi, i upgraded dist-upgrade, but i get Unmet dependencies, try using -f
[01:32] <sunsun> erUSUL, what now!
[01:32] <Wondersaurus> I've gotten it to be recognized and all, and to work on a wired connection with ndiswrapper but not the wired.
[01:32] <devint> is it on the right channel? access mode (i.e. Managed)? speed (i.e. 11M)?
[01:32] <Wondersaurus> Wireless.  Bleh.
[01:33] <Wondersaurus> It's managed right.
[01:33] <Hostile> Ok something is using my soundcard therefor I can't listen to music, how do I tell what is using it?
[01:33] <devint> you can try manually entering the mac address with `iwconfig wlan0 ap ...`
[01:33] <Wondersaurus> It's on Mode:Managed, speed is 54 mb/s and where do I check channel?
[01:33] <sunsun> erUSUK, well i did the dist-upgrade, but its not going anywhere
[01:34] <Wondersaurus> I know it's supposed to be six.
[01:34] <lightbright> blanky: yiu there?
[01:34] <tryingsomething> what brand is the router?
[01:34] <sunsun> erUSUL, well i did the dist-upgrade but its not going anywher
[01:34] <Wondersaurus> Linksys/
[01:34] <tryingsomething> should be 6 i think
[01:34] <Wondersaurus> I can check the router's settings.
[01:34] <tryingsomething> well ok
[01:34] <erUSUL> sunsun, try with -f 'apt-get -f dist-upgrade'
[01:35] <Wondersaurus> Says the channel is 6, do I need to check that the computer is looking at the same channel?
[01:35] <angelp> what is the keyboard shortcut for copy & paste on this????
[01:35] <blanky> yeah lightbright
[01:35] <gnomefreak> ctrl+c cut and cntl+v paste
[01:35] <lightbright> blanky: you DID ALSO type: sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.8-plugins
[01:35] <lightbright> blanky: didnt you? :)
[01:35] <sunsun> erUSUL, cool thks lifesaver
[01:36] <tryingsomething> um i dunno - i dont have it all in my head at the moment
[01:36] <sunsun> erUSUL, and do i restart afterwards/
[01:37] <Wondersaurus> Fair enough.  Also, not permitted to change the AP.
[01:37] <erUSUL> sunsun, no problem
[01:37] <sunsun> erUSUL - is there more to be done, or is this finished??
[01:37] <angelp> gomefreak, is ctrl-c cut or copy?
[01:37] <tryingsomething> http://hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Wireless.html
[01:37] <Wondersaurus> Looked through it.  Didn't find much helpful.
[01:37] <sunsun> erUSUL, i got E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[01:38] <tga> does anyone know of a console calendaring app?
[01:38] <erUSUL> sunsun, i can not know run apt-get dist-upgrade until evrething is installed correctly then reboot
[01:38] <erUSUL> everything*
[01:38] <erUSUL> tga, cal
[01:38] <_rednektek_> have a question for someone
[01:38] <ecobuntu> erUSUL: you should run apt-get upgrade first then apt-get dist-upgrade
[01:38] <tga> erUSUL, funny
[01:38] <gnomefreak> its copy angelp
[01:39] <angelp> oh
[01:39] <Sanne> tga: or ncal also
[01:39] <blanky> lightbright is mean
[01:40] <lightbright> Seveas: hello :)
[01:40] <erUSUL> ecobuntu, why?
[01:40] <ecobuntu> cause of dependencies
[01:40] <matsavhalev> woohoo freenx is working !
[01:40] <erUSUL> ecobuntu, can you elaborate? i do not see your point
[01:41] <Stormx2> *sigh* I just met up with someone I last saw 3 years ago. I was on his forums, and Now we're on the ubuntu forums. Small world, eh?
[01:41] <stvn> paupers
[01:41] <lightbright> Stormx2: yeah :)
[01:41] <sunsun> what is the command for reboot?
[01:41] <_rednektek_> can someone answer a question for me???
[01:42] <b_e_n_z> sunsun, reboot
[01:42] <ecobuntu> because of the way packages get installed...apt-get upgrade installs the ones that should be installed first then apt-get dist-upgrade installs the ones that depend on the former
[01:42] <sunsun> b_e_n_z
[01:42] <sunsun> this
[01:42] <sunsun> thanks
[01:42] <erUSUL> ecobuntu, i have dist-upgraded from warty to hoary and from there to breezy without problems
[01:43] <sunsun> erUSUL, thks i didnt do the dist-upgrade properly from the interface
[01:43] <erUSUL> ecobuntu, i have never used upgrade i always use dist-upgrade to mantain my system up to date no problems whatsoever
[01:43] <Greves> can anyone help? i followed the wiki for adding repositories, and am getting an error "Couldn't stat source package list"
[01:43] <_rednektek_> where do I set the root password in "breezy"
[01:43] <_jason> ubotu, tell _rednektek_ about sudo
[01:44] <davfigue> do you really need to set a root password ?
[01:44] <erUSUL> !tell _rednektek_ about sudo
[01:44] <ecobuntu> well to keep it update to date you should just be using upgrade not dist-upgrade...man apt
[01:44] <lightbright> erUSUL: wouldnt it be easier to install fresh breezy?
[01:44] <erUSUL> Greves, what ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list says??
[01:45] <matsavhalev> _rednektek_ if you really need to sudo passwd root . . . but use sudo for most admin tasks instead with your user password thats how it works in ubuntu
[01:45] <lightbright> ecobuntu: yeah true
[01:45] <Urthmover> how do I install nagios on breezy? anyone have documentation?
[01:45] <erUSUL> lightbright, the whole point of apt is to not have to fresh install
[01:45] <matsavhalev> has anyone got XDMCP working in breezy?
[01:45] <Greves> -rw-r--r--  1 root root 1772 2005-11-19 19:33 /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:45] <lightbright> erUSUL: upgrade is not to upgrade from versions
[01:46] <lightbright> erUSUL: if you have a sepereate partion for /home. you can install breezy from CD and still have system as same
[01:46] <newen> hi
[01:46] <erUSUL> ecobuntu, dist-upgrade is a cleverer version of upgrade
[01:46] <Urthmover> does anyone even know what nagios is?
[01:46] <newen> I wonder if someone has noticed that the keyboard switcher doesn't work in gnome
[01:46] <ecobuntu> no
[01:46] <Urthmover> lol
[01:47] <Urthmover> and I' thought I was a n99b
[01:47] <Urthmover> lol
[01:47] <lightbright> erUSUL: does dist-upgrade replace upgrade totally?
[01:47] <erUSUL> lightbright, and in every fresh install i have to reinstall all the apps i have been installing all over again
[01:47] <lightbright> erUSUL: where are all your apps installed to?
[01:47] <Greves> there is nothing in this folder
[01:47] <Greves> http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/breezy-backports/main/binary-i386/
[01:47] <matsavhalev> erUSUL: i think you can use apt-get to update to breezy
[01:47] <davfigue> please, does anybody know a good tutorial for setting up my wireless lan ?
[01:47] <Greves> but that is where the sources.list file points
[01:48] <lightbright> erUSUL: where are all your apps installed to?  what part of the system and what folder?
[01:49] <nickrud> Greves, there are no backports yet, that's a placeholder for later
[01:49] <erUSUL> lightbright, i trying to say that i have more apps installed than the ones that a tipical fresh install would instal
[01:49] <crimsun> (there actually are backports now)
[01:49] <nickrud> really...
[01:49] <crimsun> yes, the vlc backport was built earlier today.
[01:50] <dummkauf> Im trying to download ubuntu what is the difference between ubuntu-server, breezy, dapper, hoary, etc....
[01:50] <erUSUL> lightbright, so if i do every new version a fresh install i have to install again all the apps i have installed before
[01:50] <aru> anyone know anything about the Disks Manager program?
[01:50] <misfit_toy> crimsun vlc without ugly "old" gtk?
[01:50] <crimsun> yes.
[01:50] <misfit_toy> wahoo
[01:50] <misfit_toy> finally, thanks
[01:50] <lightbright> erUSUL: so im asking, where does ubuntu install all your apps?  not in your /home?
[01:51] <Seveas> lightbright, no
[01:51] <Seveas> in your /
[01:51] <erUSUL> lightbright, no it install files all over the place under /usr
[01:51] <lightbright> Seveas: ah ok!  so I created a seperate partion for /home so if I ever need to fresh install up upgrade!  I guess that was a waste of time then :P
[01:52] <Seveas> lightbright, upgrades don't mean reinstall :)
[01:52] <lightbright> erUSUL: so could I backup my /usr and keep my /home part and then install fresh Ubunt and copy across ./usr?
[01:52] <monkey-> whats happened to java-package? The wiki and docs refer to it, yet I can install it :/
[01:52] <erUSUL> ecobuntu, i will continue to use dist-upgrade you can use upgrade if you feel is more correct...
[01:52] <aru> basicly what I did was use Disks Manager to format one of my drives and set the access path to /home/aru/ogg now when I click enable then go to the ogg folder and try to copy something to it, it tells me I don't have access to it
[01:52] <lightbright> Seveas: you know what I mean?  uld I backup my /usr and keep my /home part and then install fresh Ubunt and copy across /usr to new Ubuntu install and have it running with old config and old apps?
[01:52] <sunsun> crimsun, where do we find the vlc backport
[01:52] <SEJeff> lightbright: You don't want to copy /usr if you reinstall. Different versions are not guaranteed to keep binary compatibility
[01:52] <erUSUL> lightbright, no
[01:52] <Orborde> Should I modprobe -r drm before modprobe fglrx ?
[01:53] <lightbright> SEJeff: ah i see thats too bad
[01:53] <sunsun> erUSUL, what is the difference between dist-upgrade and upgrade
[01:53] <lightbright> erUSUL: so the only solutions is to keep dist-upgrading?
[01:53] <SEJeff> lightbright: keep /home on a different partition and that will keep most app settings.
[01:53] <jasonjdp> how do i find gcc in aptitude to uninstall it? i wanna go to a different version
[01:53] <SEJeff> lightbright: yes
[01:53] <Sanne> dummkauf: you might want to read this and the sub-points, should answer most questions: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu/
[01:53] <erUSUL> aru, it is a fat partition?
[01:53] <nickrud> crimsun, where are they hiding
[01:53] <aru> apparently I don't have write permissions to that drive, yet I don't know how to set it so I do
[01:53] <jrsims> YO! How's it going? I need some help installing a GTK theme file. How do I install these?
[01:53] <aru> it's ext3
[01:54] <SEJeff> jrsims: Open up the theme manager and drag the file onto it
[01:54] <angelp> ok, so, apparently i have to upgrade libparted and gparted....how wuold i go about doing that?
[01:54] <erUSUL> lightbright, to mantain everything almost as you have it? yes
[01:54] <lightbright> SEJeff: I have hda3 as /home. but and if my hda1 crashes or gets wiped, I can reinstall breeze and have system run as before?  Yet I would lose all new apps that I had installed?
[01:54] <nickrud> jrsims, open system-preferences-themes, and drag the downloaded theme onto the window
[01:54] <jrsims> Ok!
[01:54] <SEJeff> lightbright: You would lose all additional apps you installed before, yes
[01:54] <SEJeff> lightbright: But the main system doesn't change much
[01:54] <lightbright> SEJeff: hmm ok thanks
[01:54] <Greves> nickrud, so if i uncheck the backports, i won't be missing out on any package repositories?
[01:54] <LeeJunFan> so what exactly does the DVD.iso include? can't be all of universe can it?
[01:54] <lightbright> SEJeff: ok
[01:55] <SEJeff> lightbright: And it's a simple apt-get or point click in synaptic away
[01:55] <spencerk> can someone help me get jack running? "ALSA lib seq_hw.c:455:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory"
[01:55] <lightbright> SEJeff: I guess I could make a folder and rsync the whole drive to it as  backup :)
[01:55] <aru> so I can't change that drive to where I can write to it?
[01:55] <jrsims> SEJeff: ok, it's not your normal GTK theme file. It's a GTK config file.
[01:55] <SEJeff> jrsims: put it as ~/.gtkrc
[01:55] <nickrud> Greves, none of the important ones; backports used to be kinda flaky sometimes, maybe this iteration will be better.
[01:55] <jrsims> SEJeff: what'll that do?
[01:56] <dummkauf> Sanne: ok thanks....new to Ubuntu...just used to other distros
[01:56] <SEJeff> lightbright: Use this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sbackup/
[01:56] <lightbright> SEJeff: ok ty
[01:57] <aru> !permissions
[01:57] <erUSUL> aru, edit your fstab file and add something like 'defaults,user' in the 4th field of the line afecting the partition
[01:57] <ubotu> aru: I haven't a clue
[01:57] <spencerk> anybody familiar with jack?
[01:57] <crimsun> nickrud: when they're built and OK'd, they'll be in breezy-backports
[01:57] <dummkauf> sane: the ubuntu website doesn't really explain the diffs???
[01:57] <dummkauf> or im just blind
[01:57] <nickrud> crimsun, that's good to hear
[01:57] <crimsun> spencerk: lsmod|grep ^snd_seq
[01:57] <aru> erUSUL, that disk isnt listed in fstab
[01:58] <cucumberjohn> Hi I need some help on setting up my screen resolution
[01:58] <cucumberjohn> I am new to Ubuntu
[01:58] <nickrud> lightbright, sbackup (if it's the one I'm using) is in the universe repository
[01:59] <lightbright> SEJeff: what I am doing is I created 2 partisions on my hdb.  Then I am going to rsync the whole hda1 to hdb1 and hda2 to hdb2, and if something goes wrong, I simply rsynv back and restore :)
[01:59] <erUSUL> aru, ?? well add it to fstab to get it mounted at boot
[01:59] <erUSUL> !tell cucumberjohn about fixres
[01:59] <spencerk> crimsun, no response to that, does that mean i have no drivers installed?
[01:59] <aru> hmm
[01:59] <lightbright> nickrud: Im going to rsync the whole partitions to another hard drive, my hdb :)
[01:59] <cucumberjohn> fixres?
[01:59] <lightbright> nickrud:  if I ever need to, I simply rsync back and restore
[01:59] <crimsun> spencerk: then load it.
[01:59] <Sanne> dummkauf: "Releases" explains Warty, Hoary and Breezy (Breezy is the lastest, you will want that one)
[01:59] <nickrud> I saw, but, what if your ps fries both drives?
[01:59] <erUSUL> cucumberjohn, read what ubotu told you
[01:59] <spencerk> crimsun, how do i do that
[02:00] <crimsun> spencerk: sudo modprobe snd-seq
[02:00] <Belgain> hi there, i've got a slight problem when running a headless ubuntu system: the desktop resolution gets defaulted to 640x480 when connecting in VNC...
[02:00] <lightbright> nickrud: ps?
[02:00] <nickrud> lightbright, power supply
[02:00] <dummkauf> Sanne -- so then whats the diff between Ubuntu-Server and normal ubuntu??
[02:00] <spencerk> thank you
[02:00] <lightbright> nickrud: well if that happens either way you are gone :)
[02:00] <Belgain> i think this is because no monitor is detected at boot, and therefore ubuntu uses failsafe settings
[02:00] <lightbright> nickrud: even sbackup wont help you then
[02:00] <cucumberjohn> I apologize.  I can't find what ubotu wrote
[02:00] <Belgain> how can i get VNC server to give me a 1280x1024 desktop?
[02:00] <nickrud> lightbright, no, sbackup can arrange for writing backups to a dvd/cd overnight. Improves your odds.
[02:01] <spencerk> crimsun, Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.12-9-386/kernel/sound/core/seq/snd-seq.ko': No such file or directory
[02:01] <erUSUL> dummkauf, ubuntu-server does not install ubuntu-desktop only the base system no X
[02:01] <spencerk> what does that mean?
[02:01] <aru> what do I want, just defaults under options?
[02:01] <Sanne> dummkauf: on the page "Applications" is a part about the server version, it's, well, for when you want to set up a server instead of a desktop system.
[02:01] <crimsun> spencerk: did you mess with ALSA at all?
[02:01] <ryufreak> !partition
[02:01] <ubotu> No idea, ryufreak
[02:01] <spencerk> not sure
[02:01] <lightbright> nickrud: I dont have a dvd writer :(
[02:01] <dummkauf> erUSUL -- thanks just thats the only diff then??
[02:01] <crimsun> spencerk: ..."not sure"?
[02:02] <ryufreak> !delete partition
[02:02] <ubotu> ryufreak: I don't know, could you explain it?
[02:02] <nickrud> lightbright, read about sbackup, it implements a tried and true backup system.
[02:02] <spencerk> ive been trying to install it, so maybe i messed with something i shouldnt have
[02:02] <erUSUL> aru, defaults,<your user> as you are mounting it under your home
[02:02] <lightbright> nickrud: but I have a 3rd hard drive that is able to pull put off the front
[02:02] <erUSUL> dummkauf, yes afaik
[02:02] <dummkauf> Sanne -- yeah I guessed that much....I was more curious about how it was setup differently and what packages are included on the install cd
[02:02] <spencerk> crimsun, ive also been trying oss or souncore
[02:02] <crimsun> oh god.
[02:02] <nickrud> lightbright, so, backup to it and pull it often :)
[02:02] <spencerk> would they be easier?
[02:03] <crimsun> what cpu are you using?
[02:03] <nickrud> think of it as a big tape drive
[02:03] <spencerk> athlon
[02:03] <Sanne> dummkauf: ah, ok :) I believe I read that it comes with the typical web server applications, apache, mysql, php things like that.
[02:03] <crimsun> sudo aptitude install linux-k7
[02:03] <crimsun> then reboot
[02:03] <spencerk> ok
[02:03] <spencerk> thank you,
[02:03] <lightbright> nickrud: i have 3 hard drives!  1 is internal and other 2 that can be pulled out of front of system unit!  So I can rsync by whole hda to hdb, and then place my other hard drive in and then copy hdb to hda!  then pull out and put in original hda :)  and store the other one in my drawrer :)  ahh i like that idea :)
[02:03] <Belgain> so any ideas about setting res for ubuntu when no monitor is connected?
[02:03] <eliphas_> how can I make direct rendering working please?
[02:03] <lightbright> nickrud: :)
[02:04] <nickrud> lightbright, there are nearly as many backup strategies as there are systems; as long as the backup has integrity, the method is by preference
[02:04] <erUSUL> eliphas_, what graphic card?
[02:04] <dummkauf> Sanne -- ok...think I got this figured out.........if there are any developers here, including readme files on the file servers explaining whats where is really nice to have
[02:04] <eliphas_> ati radeon mobility 7500
[02:04] <dummkauf> just my 2 cents anyway
[02:05] <crimsun> dummkauf: huh?
[02:05] <angelp> can someone help me upgrade gparted/parted?
[02:05] <erUSUL> eliphas_, using ati drivers??
[02:05] <eliphas_> yes
[02:05] <Greves> how can i enable the ability to "su" in a terminal?
[02:06] <erUSUL> !tell eliphas_ about ati
[02:06] <lightbright> nickrud: yeah rsync seems very reliable
[02:06] <dummkauf> crimsum -- most distros have readme files along with the ISO and torrent files on the server explaining what the differenes are.....just handy to have around to save time googling the net for answeres
[02:06] <spencerk> crimsun, is this compiling a new kernel? what is this doing, i dont understand this stuff...
[02:06] <beezly> Greves: try using sudo instead
[02:06] <nickrud> Greves, you can get the same functionality with sudo [-i|-s]
[02:06] <eliphas_> thanks erUSUL
[02:06] <beezly> !tell GregAsche about sudo
[02:06] <erUSUL> eliphas_, no problem
[02:07] <beezly> argh
[02:07] <beezly> !tell Greves  about sudo
[02:07] <zorba64> !sudo
[02:07] <ubotu> [sudo]  http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RootSudo
[02:07] <tlhiv> hi folks ... i'm a gentoo user and i've heard alot of hype about Ubuntu ... can someone tell me an advantage that Ubunutu has over Gentoo other than binaries packages as opposed to source compilation?
[02:07] <lightbright> nickrud:  rsync -ravlpogtDH --progress --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/proc / /mnt
[02:07] <Sanne> dummkauf: yes, readmes would be nice.
[02:08] <runedude3> hello
[02:08] <zorba64> tlhiv: try it for yourself
[02:08] <nickrud> tlhiv, what other advantage can outweigh that ;)
[02:08] <beezly> tlhiv: the main advantage i found is that "it just works"
[02:08] <runedude3> can ubuntu read/write to UFS partitions?
[02:08] <aru> is there a way to reload fstab or do I have to reboot?
[02:08] <lightbright> if you want to install multiple files with aptitide is it: simething like: sudo aptitude install kpdf && korganizer && kpf && kpersonalizer
[02:08] <runedude3> aru - yea, do mount -a
[02:08] <lightbright> use the && ?
[02:08] <tlhiv> beezly: meaning what?  gentoo does too once it's installed
[02:08] <crimsun> spencerk: no, it's installing a more suitable kernel for your cpu
[02:08] <erUSUL> aru, sudo mount -a
[02:09] <beezly> tlhiv: mmm, yes - "once it's installed" - and assuming you have selected all the correct options for your hardware and the software set up you want etc
[02:09] <aru> lame
[02:09] <beezly> runedude: yes it will
[02:09] <erUSUL> lightbright, no simple spaces betwen package names
[02:09] <spencerk> and this kernel has alsa?
[02:09] <tlhiv> beezly: ok ... well i'll have to chat more about this later ... i gotta run for now
[02:09] <tlhiv> thanx
[02:09] <crimsun> spencerk: all the kernels have ALSA.
[02:10] <EloraKun> Hey guys. Is it sensible installing 2 different distros sharing a /home mount? (Breezy + Mandriva 2006)
[02:10] <JanC_spurt> tlhiv: meaning: ubuntu works about 3 days earlier than gentoo?  ;-)
[02:10] <spencerk> cool.
[02:10] <lightbright> erUSUL: so: sudo aptitude install kpdf korganizer kpf kpersonalizer  ?
[02:10] <beezly> EloraKun: yeah - that shouldn't be a problem
[02:10] <nollidj> what is the recommended location for putting arguments to modules when they are inserted?  /etc/modules.conf, somewhere in /etd/modules.d/ , or elsewhere?
[02:10] <Sanne> dummkauf: in the ftp directories where the iso files are, there are also files with the extension .list, they list the packages in the isos, might give you an idea.
[02:10] <lightbright> erUSUL: is that what uou mean?
[02:10] <beezly> EloraKun: you /might/ have some problems with some applications - if they do nasty things with different version of their config files for example, but Iit should work ok
[02:11] <dummkauf> Elorakun -- yeah....shouldn't be an issue
[02:11] <EloraKun> I'm afraid of conflicts between programs versions configuration
[02:11] <zorba64> EloraKun: that will work...be an idea to use different sign-in names
[02:11] <nickrud> nollidj, in /etc/modules.d , create your own file
[02:11] <beezly> EloraKun: well, i've done it before and it's never been a problem, but it *could* be in theory
[02:11] <EloraKun> So just use different users and everything should be smooth, righ?
[02:11] <nollidj> nickrud: thanks.  no equivalent to modconf or any other distributions' module-handling tools?
[02:12] <crimsun> modconf is deprecated.
[02:12] <dummkauf> Sanne -- yeah....I was more referring to explaining what breezy is and so on and so forth.......just throwing my 2 cents in on the issue....its not that big of a deal
[02:12] <GregAsche> I'm getting a static type thing whenever I play a .wmv file, the sound is fine but the video is weird... anyone know how to fix this?
[02:12] <zorba64> EloraKun: yep...have done it before with different id's with no probs
[02:12] <lokm> hi there...I built up a server on ubuntu... i need use more IPs per one network interface... so I used ifconfig for set this... it works ok but after reboot it's default again... do u know how to save that? pls...
[02:12] <angelp> can someone help me upgrade gparted/ parted?
[02:12] <EloraKun> Ok. I'll give it a try now with eLive... Just will have to paste a whole lotta  configuration files...
[02:12] <beezly> lokm: try "man interfaces"
[02:12] <nickrud> nollidj, no, it seems modconf is going the way of the dodo, and /etc/modules is depreciated.
[02:12] <EloraKun> Thanks!
[02:12] <lokm> beezly: i will thx
[02:12] <beezly> lokm: the file you need to edit is /etc/network/interfaces
[02:13] <lokm> beezly: okie :)
[02:13] <nollidj> nickrud, thanks... i'm showing my age...
[02:13] <beezly> wooo - today is my birthday :)
[02:14] <matsavhalev> happy birthday
[02:14] <angelp> happy birthday beezly
[02:14] <aaarg> happy bday
[02:14] <beezly> thanks all :)
[02:14] <Sanne> dummkauf: Ah, I see. Well, I found the ubuntu page answered my questions fairly well when I was looking for info...
[02:14] <rixth> Are wildcards allowed in the hosts file?
[02:15] <beezly> rixth: no
[02:15] <rixth> That would make me life a lot easier :( oh well.
[02:15] <matsavhalev> how do i switch between gdm and kdm easily?
[02:15] <aru> so in the file browser, how do I get the little lock off of the directory I mounted my new hdd to?
[02:16] <dell500> what's a good ipod manager?
[02:16] <dell500> besides gtkpod
[02:16] <nickrud> nollidj, and, I think hotplug is going away too ....
[02:16] <Delvien> somehow i managed to execute ssh -X root@localhost without using a terminal ( made a hotbutton and pressed it by accident (forgot to press run in terminal) and i am now running linux as root, anyone know how to go back to my regular user privlegas?
[02:17] <angelp> can someone please help me upgrade gparted/ parted :-/
[02:17] <matsavhalev> Delvien: exit maybe?
[02:17] <nickrud> Delvien, in a terminal? exit?
[02:17] <aru> /dev/hdc1       /home/aru/ogg  ext3    rw,user,exec    0       0 <- shouldnt that work?
[02:17] <ispiked> does ubuntu call `iwevent' when one does ifup or ifdown?
[02:17] <zorba64> angelp: what is the upgrade prob u have?
[02:18] <erUSUL> angelp, sudo apt-get update gparted parted
[02:18] <Delvien> when i do things in the desktop environment it pops up with wierd windows ive never seen before
[02:18] <angelp> thank you erusul
[02:18] <matsavhalev> can anyone help with switching from gdm to kdm or vice versa
[02:18] <Delvien> i have no terminals open... atm
[02:18] <erUSUL> aru, yes it should work change user with the name of your user
[02:18] <angelp> erusul, "E: The update command takes no arguments
[02:18] <angelp> "
[02:19] <Vertigo> anyone offer some user experiences with both ubuntu and kubuntu?
[02:19] <zorba64> matsavhalev: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[02:19] <erUSUL> angelp, sudo apt-get upgrade gparted parted sorry
[02:19] <matsavhalev> thx zorba64
[02:19] <nickrud> angelp, do apt-cache policy gparted first, see if there is something to upgrade to?
[02:19] <zorba64> matsavhalev: np
[02:19] <aru> so theres still a lock on the ogg directory
[02:19] <matsavhalev> Vertigo: i tried both found that they best for me was to install ubuntu and then apt-get install kubuntu-desktop for the best of bith worlds
[02:19] <angelp> nickrud, there is, i've been to the website
[02:20] <erUSUL> aru, have you changed the user??
[02:20] <Vertigo> matsavhalev, ok cool maybe i'll do the same.
[02:20] <aru> just tried that
[02:20] <nickrud> angelp, then, you'll have to compile it, unless it makes it to backports some day.
[02:20] <angelp> ok, erusul, it said 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed...?
[02:20] <angelp> what
[02:20] <erUSUL> angelp, there is no new version aviable
[02:20] <matsavhalev> Vertigo: had some problems with kubuntu last time i tried it, but the same version of ubuntu with kde worked nicely so ive stuck with that. I use kde mostly
[02:20] <erUSUL> angelp, you are up to date
[02:21] <angelp> the website says theres a new one
[02:21] <zorba64> angelp: why do u need to upgrade it?
[02:21] <angelp> zorba64, because its not working
[02:21] <angelp> someone in #gparted told me to upgrade
[02:21] <nickrud> angelp, ubuntu does not update applications, except semi-yearly
[02:21] <erUSUL> aru, change the user then umount the partition an then do mount -a and try again
[02:22] <turix> i need help to play mp3 files
[02:22] <nollidj> nickrud: ???
[02:22] <Vertigo> matsavhalev, i use win xp pro daily and am dual booting w/ ubuntu now. using gnome currently and feel like the look is not as bright. im thinking i might like kde. haven't used kde since way back with mandrake 9.
[02:22] <Sanne> angelp: if the website has a new version, it doesn't mean that it's already in Ubuntu's package repositories yet.
[02:22] <zorba64> angelp: fair enuff...have you tried removing and reinstalling?
[02:22] <nollidj> nickrud: i guess i'll stay tuned as the situation develops
[02:22] <turix> how do i install the mp3coder?
[02:22] <nickrud> nollidj, stable releases, twice a year :)
[02:22] <erUSUL> !tell turix about mp3
[02:22] <angelp> sanne, ok, so then how do i install from the ewbsite?
[02:22] <zorba64> !mp3
[02:22] <ubotu> mp3 is, like, totally, to enable mp3 capability, read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[02:22] <angelp> zorba64: no not yet; i dont know how to install anything
[02:22] <turix> !tell
[02:22] <dreadnought> what do i do when this happens in totem -This is an audio-only file, and there is no audio output available- and the speakers r in
[02:23] <nickrud> turix, you're trying to encode mp3's from your cd's?
[02:23] <Vertigo> dreadnought, another frontier dsl user eh
[02:23] <dreadnought> yea howd u knmow
[02:23] <turix> no i just cant play them
[02:23] <dreadnought> my logiun
[02:23] <matsavhalev> Vertigo: you can just sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop in your ubuntu, I think you will be pleasantly suprised KDE has moved on quickly the last few years. I find gnome less intuitive
[02:23] <aru> I still dont have permission to use my new hdd, rock
[02:23] <ecobuntu> Vertigo: are you canadian?
[02:24] <Sanne> angelp: you would need to compile it from source then, but better others help you with that, because I'm not on Ubuntu yet.
[02:24] <Vertigo> ecobuntu, um no
[02:24] <turix> nickrud, just wonder what codec i must install
[02:24] <Vertigo> matsavhalev, yeah im definately going to give it a look
[02:24] <angelp> sanne: ok. i have been using windows for 10 years. i don't even know what "compile it from source" means.
[02:24] <nickrud> turix, sudo apt-get install beep-media-player and gstreamer0.8-mad ; beep-media-player is nice, and the gstreamer is for rhythmbox
[02:24] <ecobuntu> you just said 'eh'
[02:24] <aru> man, this is stupid
[02:24] <dreadnought> what do i do when this happens in totem -This is an audio-only file, and there is no audio output available- and the speakers r in
[02:24] <Vertigo> dreadnought, it tells you when you first sign on
[02:24] <dreadnought> yea i no
[02:24] <Vertigo> ex.)  dreadnought<EMAIL_ADDRESS>has joined #ubuntu
[02:25] <dreadnought> ok so what do i do
[02:25] <turix> "E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[02:25] <turix> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[02:25] <turix> "
[02:25] <Sanne> angelp: then I would recommend to not start with this, if you can avoid it.
[02:25] <sunsun> hi... i have dist-upgrade to breezt
[02:25] <sunsun> breezy
[02:25] <sunsun> and... now i can't get out of the shell
[02:25] <turix> nickrud, when will it be available?
[02:25] <nickrud> turix, first, don't paste :) and second, you have synaptic open
[02:25] <angelp> sanne: so....i'm screwed?
[02:25] <sunsun> its definitely upgraded... to breezy
[02:25] <turix> ok w8
[02:26] <Sanne> angelp: why do you need to upgrade the application?
[02:26] <angelp> sanne: because it is not working and this guy on #gparted told me to upgrade and see if it worked
[02:26] <nickrud> turix, you should step through wiki.ubuntu.com ; it will help you enable playing all the media that ubuntu can.
[02:26] <Brunellus> sunsun:  sudo apt-get -f install
[02:26] <nickrud> *wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats  turix
[02:26] <ecobuntu> angelp: install ntfsprogs
[02:27] <Sanne> angelp: maybe somebody here who's on Ubuntu could help with your problem your version of the program has now.
[02:27] <angelp> ecobuntu: did it; still not wroking...
[02:27] <sunsun> Brunellus, will this bring me to the GUI
[02:27] <ecobuntu> angelp: run ntfsresize
[02:27] <mahangu> how can I check the md5 of a file?
[02:27] <ecobuntu> at terminal
[02:27] <sunsun> Brunellus, i want to get out of the shell and back to my desktop environemnet
[02:27] <sunsun> hello
[02:27] <nickrud> mahangu, md5sum <file>
[02:27] <zorba64> angelp: what is gparted not letting you do?
[02:27] <mahangu> sunsun, alt+f7
[02:27] <Brunellus> sunsun:  you can't get to the gui because the gui is broken.  apt-get -f install will try to fix any packages that didn't upgrade cleanly in the initial upgrade
[02:27] <mahangu> nickrud, thanks, had forgotten the syntax :)
[02:28] <angelp> zorba64, resize a partition
[02:28] <Brunellus> sunsun: I had the same problem
[02:28] <angelp> ecobuntu, ok, now what
[02:28] <dreadnought> is there nothing i can do about thiis
[02:28] <ecobuntu> angelp: i don't know...all i know is it's a program to resize ntfs partitions...isn't it a gui?
[02:28] <dreadnought> what do i do when this happens in totem -This is an audio-only file, and there is no audio output available- and the speakers r in
[02:29] <angelp> ecobuntu no....it has this list of like commands and stuff...
[02:29] <nickrud> dreadnought, what kind of file are you trying to play?
[02:29] <ecobuntu> oh
[02:29] <ecobuntu> hold on
[02:29] <turix> "Couldn't find beep-media.player"
[02:29] <zorba64> angelp: what sort of partition? /dev/hda?
[02:29] <purplefeltangel> zorba64...uhhh... i dont know.
[02:29] <purplefeltangel>     -i, --info             Estimate the smallest shrunken size supported

[02:29] <purplefeltangel> oops :/
[02:29] <turix> nickrud, no 'sudocommand' seems to work properly
[02:29] <nickrud> turix, beep-media-player (and do you have the universe and multiverse repositories enabled)
[02:29] <zorba64> purplefeltangel: dont paste...u will get kicked
[02:30] <mahangu> purplefeltangel, pastebin
[02:30] <purplefeltangel> zorba64 iw as trying to do it into a private message
[02:30] <turix> what is that?
[02:30] <dreadnought> nickrud mp3
[02:30] <mahangu> !pastebin
[02:30] <ubotu> pastebin is, like, totally, a site where you can post large texts and screenshots so you don't flood the channel. You can find it at http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl
[02:30] <zorba64> !pastebin
[02:30] <sunsun> Brunellus, ok, i have done this, and now i reboot
[02:30] <mahangu> nickrud, how can I compare the md5sums of two files?
[02:30] <nickrud> dreadnought, go to wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats , and do the first step there
[02:30] <egon_spengler> Quick Q. What is the channel for the dapperdrake flight 1
[02:30] <sunsun> Brunellus, booting the kernel, hope it works
[02:30] <ecobuntu> what happens if you type partman at the command?
[02:31] <nickrud> mahangu, I just eyeball the beginning and ends of the md5sums :)
[02:31] <sunsun> Brunellus, so if it doesn't work , waht do i do next
[02:31] <zorba64> purplefeltangel: have you tried running, sudo gparted from a terminal?
[02:31] <purplefeltangel> zorba64, uh, i think so
[02:31] <sunsun> i still get the shell, any suggestionS?
[02:31] <zorba64> purplefeltangel: go try it now
[02:31] <mahangu> nickrud, yeah figured id do that too :)
[02:32] <nickrud> mahangu, odds seem good, don't they ;)
[02:32] <purplefeltangel> zorba64 it just opened gparted
[02:32] <Greves> how do i add multiverse repository? the wiki doesn't work when i follow it
[02:32] <zorba64> purplefeltangel: good, how many partitions do you have?
[02:32] <purplefeltangel> zorba64 2
[02:32] <dreadnought> nickrud it worked before maybe my speakers broke
[02:33] <mahangu> nickrud, i guess I can use a combination of grep too, if im _really_ anal about it
[02:33] <nickrud> Greves, the simple way, is to sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list , and add multiverse to each line that has universe in it.
[02:33] <sunsun> Brunellus, i have apt-get -f installe
[02:33] <zorba64> purplefeltangel: which one do you want to resize? and make sure you unmount it
[02:33] <sunsun> but... i get an error
[02:34] <sunsun> Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code()
[02:34] <nickrud> mahangu, for me, figuring that out would take more work than eyeballing 50 md5sums, lol
[02:34] <sunsun> someone tell me howi fix the gui??
[02:34] <Greves> nickrud, thanks
[02:35] <nickrud> Greves, np
[02:35] <mahangu> sunsun, it sounds like your package manager is borked
[02:35] <sunsun> mahangu, how do i fix it
[02:35] <mahangu> did you make any changes recently, or did something else happen?
[02:36] <sunsun> don't know - i dist-upgraded from >>
[02:36] <sunsun> waorthy
[02:36] <sunsun> mohangu, plz tell
[02:36] <mahangu> hmmm
[02:36] <mahangu> sunsun, does apt-get update work?
[02:36] <mahangu> without breaking?
[02:36] <zorba64> sunsun: bit of a stretch that upgrade
[02:37] <sunsun> well i tried it... it did not break
[02:37] <sunsun> it did the whole thing
[02:37] <sunsun> tried it twice already
[02:37] <zorba64> sunsun: have you looked at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade?highlight=%28breezy%29
[02:37] <Jestre> Why is it that everytime I try to configure my wireless network during the install, I give it my ESSID, etc and it still tries to connect to another in the neighborhood?
[02:37] <zorba64> sunsun: and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgradeNotes?highlight=%28breezy%29
[02:38] <jasonjdp> omg omg, just got my xvid movies playing in gxine!  thnx all you guys rock!
[02:38] <zorba64> purplefeltangel: how did you go with it??

[02:41] <PublicAnnoyance> does anyone know of any other ways to lock it then, or why mine doesn't work?
[02:41] <nickrud> dreadnought, play the mp3 in another app, and plug the speakers into another source: basic troubleshooting techniques
[02:41] <mahangu> suneco, get in there - #kubuntu-offtopic
[02:42] <mahangu> nalioth will fix you right up
[02:42] <Urthm0ver> how do I configure breezy to work with a remote Xserver?  what do I need to change on the host(this ubuntu system)?
[02:43] <dreadnought> nickrud music player says   cannot open resource and totem says it can find speakers!
[02:43] <axisys> how do make sure mplayer does not kick in for ram files while browsing through firefox
[02:43] <aru> I have the hard disk installed in the computer, apparently it is showing up as /dev/hdc1, I thought I formatted it with Disks Manager to ext3 but now it won't mount when user permissions plus it mounts 10gb smaller than it is
[02:43] <mahangu> dreadnought, speakers are irrelevant, the sound card is what your computer talks to
[02:44] <Urthm0ver> does anyone know how to server Zwindows to a remote system?
[02:44] <dreadnought> mahangu thayre integrated
[02:44] <Urthm0ver> Xwindows
[02:44] <axisys> never had good experience with totem
[02:44] <nickrud> dreadnought, what does dpkg -l gstreamer0.8-mad tell you? (the first two characters on the line, please)
[02:44] <Urthm0ver> vnc is too slow
[02:44] <mahangu> nickrud, shouldn't he try xmms for mp3s?
[02:44] <dreadnought> ill paste in us channel
[02:44] <dreadnought> ur
[02:44] <Urthm0ver> I guess none of you even really knows enough to help ?
[02:44] <war-totem> axisys: im the same way
[02:44] <mahangu> nickrud, and perhaps the system is squating on the sound daeman - a killall esd?
[02:45] <mahangu> Urthm0ver, be patient, an answer will come your way
[02:45] <axisys> war-totem: what is a good alternative?
[02:45] <GTroy> Urthm0ver: always does to me
[02:45] <war-totem> axisys: vlc plays everything ive needed it too
[02:45] <rabeldable> Urthm0ver: vnc is fast for me
[02:46] <war-totem> axisys: and theirs a native linux client
[02:46] <aru> I've been trying to fuckin fdisk the drive, and I've tried gparted, it doesnt show up in gparted and fdisk says unable to open
[02:46] <axisys> war-totem: which one is that?
[02:46] <war-totem> axisys: sudo apt-get install vlc
[02:46] <Urthm0ver> over vpn I think compressed ssh would give me better performance
[02:46] <lurah> nite -->
[02:46] <Vertigo> l*ter
[02:46] <war-totem> axisys: its a player that plays all movies with all codecs (as far as ive learned)
[02:47] <Urthm0ver> there is no such thing as sudo apt-get install XDM
[02:47] <aru> all I want is for the bastard to mount to my home directory so I can copy stuff to it
[02:47] <Urthm0ver> or something similar
[02:47] <rabeldable> Urthm0ver: You might have a packet fragmentation problem check you MTU size
[02:47] <axisys> war-totem: which player is that.. u talking about vlc?
[02:47] <war-totem> axisys: video lan its a multimedia player
[02:47] <rabeldable> anyone know how to add factoids to ubotu?
[02:47] <war-totem> axisys: www.videolan.org
[02:47] <war-totem> axisys: i think
[02:48] <Urthm0ver> rabeldable: and where do
[02:48] <Urthm0ver> I check that?
[02:48] <occy> !wmv
[02:48] <ubotu> [restricted]  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats. Most of the formats listed here have been replaced by !FreeFormats
[02:48] <axisys> war-totem: that's vlc
[02:48] <rabeldable> Urthm0ver: ifconfig -a and look for MTU size
[02:48] <axisys> war-totem: gotcha
[02:48] <war-totem> axisys: =)
[02:48] <occy> !FreeFormats
[02:48] <ubotu> freeformats is, like, totally, There are a large number of Free Formats which are preferred over patent and copyright encumbered formats. They are listed here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreeFormats
[02:48] <pztak> ok so gparted failed :( it couldn't resize the external vfat hdd
[02:48] <pztak> any ideas why?
[02:49] <pztak> it was unmounted
[02:49] <Urthm0ver> cause I'm almost positive running the Xserver locally will be guaranteed better performanbce..think about it...less size in the packets...and it's not like a screen capture
[02:49] <rabeldable> Urthm0ver: if its 1500 try to lower it in incriments of 20 to find the "sweet spot"
[02:49] <aru> so basicly I'm installing a new fuckin hard drive and have no idea where to start, I think... is there a guide for that?
[02:49] <ecobuntu> purplefeltangel: did you get it to work?  i know how to do this ntfsresize...it's very easy
[02:49] <Greves> can anyone help me with sound? i picked the right card on the mixer, but no dice
[02:49] <GTroy> aru: just remember to set the jumper to slave
[02:49] <aru> that part is already done
[02:49] <Madpilot> aru: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingANewHardDrive
[02:49] <Urthm0ver> so back to the original question does anyone in here know what configs I need to change or what services to start in order to connect to the Xserver of the ubuntu installation from a remote system?
[02:50] <aru> Madpilot, sweet, thanks
[02:50] <mahangu> Greves, what is wrong, _where_ doesnt sound play?
[02:50] <mahangu> system sounds play?
[02:50] <war-totem> anyone know of an efficient way to wipe a computer clean?
[02:50] <Greves> mahangu, no sounds play
[02:50] <Urthm0ver> I'll try to do that while I hope that others actually know what I'm talking about
[02:50] <joeyb> Every hour, at 17 minutes and one second past the hour, there is a root login and root logout message in my auth.log, any idea?
[02:50] <foampeace> Greves, i dont know try alsamixer -c 1
[02:50] <mahangu> Greves, nothing at all? hmmm
[02:51] <foampeace> Greves, what soundcard?
[02:51] <rabeldable> Urthm0ver: have you looked at ssh -X for X11 forwarding, and when you get there type startx.
[02:51] <rabeldable> you need a Xclient installed on the system your going from.
[02:51] <foampeace> Greves...sudo apt-get install alsamixer
[02:51] <egon_spengler> war-totem, Try dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/hda
[02:51] <foampeace> Greves. maybe hit m to unmute channels
[02:51] <Greves> foampeace, its a sblive! 24 bit
[02:51] <axisys> how do i replace mplayer plugin with VLC on firefox?
[02:52] <war-totem> egon_spengler: ok, and that will wipe everything clean? just from that command?
[02:52] <egon_spengler> war-totem, yup, takes input from random and outputs to the first drive
[02:52] <egon_spengler> /dev/hdb would be second drive
[02:52] <egon_spengler> etc
[02:53] <war-totem> egon_spengler: ok thaknks
[02:53] <pztak> ok so gparted failed :( it couldn't resize the external vfat hdd... it was unmounted.. any ideas?
[02:53] <Urthm0ver> rabeldable:  I'm a linux noob.....specifically what config file and where in it do I need to make a switch...then what can I do to test that the ssh service is running and listening properly to forward X11
[02:53] <war-totem> egon_spengler: but why would i be outputting anything? sorry this is new territory for me
[02:53] <Urthm0ver> is all this configured by default?
[02:53] <Greves> mahangu, i have an sblive 24-bit card, and onboard nforce2. both were recognized, but don't work
[02:54] <egon_spengler> war-totem, You are using the dd utility to overwrite whatever WAS on the drive
[02:54] <foampeace> Greves, is the ca0106 modules listed when you type lsmod?
[02:54] <war-totem> egon_spengler: ok and what is dd?
[02:54] <war-totem> egon_spengler:  delete drive?
[02:55] <Urthm0ver> man I'm dossappointed
[02:55] <Urthm0ver> diss
[02:55] <Greves> foampeace, snd_ca0106 is
[02:55] <JanC_spurt> Greves: that's a desktop?
[02:55] <mahangu> Greves, try killall esd and tell me what bash tells you?
[02:55] <mojo> http://orion.thos.me.uk/~joneslee85/Avatar/Cuong.png
[02:55] <Urthm0ver> maybe I'll ask in the debian room....seems ubuntu help coincides with unbuntu level of difficulty
[02:55] <foampeace> Greves, then do like i said...you might have to specify the card for you mixer. try alsamixer -c 0 or -c 1
[02:55] <Greves> mahangu, it didn't tell me anything
[02:55] <Toba> will upgrading to breezy wreck any of my settings?
[02:55] <aru> Madpilot, the drive is still locked and I can't write to it
[02:55] <egon_spengler> war-totem, No, dd is a file/disk util
[02:56] <foampeace> Greves, unmute the channels of the cards
[02:56] <war-totem> egon_spengler: gotcha, thakns
[02:56] <mahangu> Greves, try playing sound now
[02:56] <egon_spengler> war-totem, As an example dd if=/dev/hdc (cdrom) of=cdrom.iso
[02:56] <Greves> foampeace, they are unmuted dude
[02:56] <Greves> mahangu, nope
[02:56] <egon_spengler> war-totem, Copies the cdrom to an iso image
[02:56] <foampeace> Greves: modules loaded?
[02:57] <Greves> foampeace, yes...
[02:57] <war-totem> egon_spengler: i think im getting it
[02:57] <jrattner1> Has anyone ever synced a Windows Mobile device (PDA smartphone) with linux ?
[02:57] <foampeace> Greves, no system sound?
[02:57] <mahangu> Greves, go with foampeace
[02:57] <Greves> foampeace, i have system beeps, thats it
[02:58] <foampeace> Greves, hard to say....did you try both cards alone?
[02:58] <joeyb> I figured out my previous question, it was a cron job thanks guys.
[02:58] <Greves> foampeace, i didn' try the nforce onboard sound, but i don't use that
[02:58] <Delvien> anyone know a way to revert an old setting on menu editor? i deleted crossover office area accidently then saved it stupid me
[02:58] <aru> so after a drive is formatted and partitions created what is the next step to get it mounted to where I can copy stuff to it
[02:59] <JanC_spurt> Greves: can you disable the onboard sound card in the BIOS?
[02:59] <foampeace> Greves, look here http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Creative+Labs&card=Sound+Blaster+Live+7.1.&chip=SB0410%2C+P17&module=ca0106
[02:59] <Aven> anyone know a linux program like Graveman, but better?
[02:59] <pppoe_dude> hi, when i create a gpg key, how can I sign it? (it still says signature "UNKNOWN" in the status... and if i try importing it to another copmuter, it wouldnt trust the key
[02:59] <egon_spengler> aru, Choose to create a directory of some sort as a mount point, then issue the mount command as root
[02:59] <mahangu> aru, mount /dev/hdaX /mnt/whatever
[02:59] <egon_spengler> aru, E.g. mkdir /mnt/drive_d then sudo mount /dev/hdb /mnt/drive_d
[02:59] <aru> egon_spengler, I did that, but once the drive is mounted, the users cannot access the drive
[03:00] <foampeace> Greves, yes you may have to disable the nforce in the bios first, but it may not be neccessary. However i dont think my sblive is working with the nforce on which im using also
[03:00] <JanC_spurt> Greves: or if that's not possible, with a jumper on the motherboard?
[03:00] <foampeace> Greves: i think you have to pick one or the other...or it might take more effort
[03:00] <pppoe_dude> aru, easy way is to create a directory inside it and do chmod 777 [directory name]
[03:00] <pppoe_dude> (as root
[03:00] <Aven> What's a good program like Graveman but better
[03:00] <aru> ok
[03:00] <Aven> ?
[03:00] <Greves> JanC_spurt, i can't imagine i need to disable the onboard for the sblive card to work
[03:00] <pppoe_dude> aru, you can also chmod 777 the original directory
[03:01] <Aven> HELP
[03:01] <foampeace> Greves, let me see if my sblive works and we'll see, you would require more configuration somewhere if not
[03:01] <war-totem> Aven: dont yell.  why dont you tell us what graveman is
[03:01] <Kyral> graveman is a CD burning app
[03:01] <Aven> yeah
[03:02] <Kyral> Its no k3b
[03:02] <aru> hah, that was so easy
[03:02] <JanC_spurt> Greves: when there are 2 cards enabled, ubuntu might not know which one to use...
[03:02] <pppoe_dude> any tips on making the signature valid on my gpg key
[03:02] <pppoe_dude> ?
[03:02] <angelp> are the people who were helping me before in here
[03:02] <aru> thanks for the help
[03:03] <liable> doesn't work
[03:03] <Greves> JanC_spurt, can't i just turn off the nforce modules then?
[03:03] <foampeace> Greves, sblive works
[03:03] <foampeace> Greves, what program you looking at for sound anyway?
[03:03] <Greves> any
[03:03] <Greves> mplayer, rhythmbox, xmms
[03:04] <JanC_spurt> Greves: maybe yes, but it's easier when your BIOS supports it
[03:04] <occy> Intel Corp. Mobile Graphics Controller -- Anyone know about 3D stuff with Ubuntu and this chipset?
[03:04] <JanC_spurt> (to disable it)
[03:04] <foampeace> Greves, onboard is card 0.sblive should be card:1
[03:04] <dell500> how long do you think it will take for almost 40gb of mp3s to be transfer over to my ipod?
[03:04] <foampeace> Greves mess around in xmms to see if you can get audio through oss first
[03:05] <foampeace> under output plugin
[03:06] <foampeace> greves: choose oss, or alsa or esd, whatevre
[03:06] <mustard5> Greves, try using alsamixer in terminal
[03:06] <Greves> ok foampeace i can get audo in xmms through ALSA
[03:06] <mustard5> Greves, you can do something like alsamixer -c 0  or alsamixer -c 1 to change devices
[03:07] <Greves> mustard5, will "alsamixer -c 1" set the default card to 1?
[03:07] <mustard5> Greves, it will give you volume controls for that device in terminal
[03:07] <Greves> mustard5, i need to set the default card
[03:07] <mustard5> Greves, you on gnome?
[03:07] <Greves> yes
[03:07] <foampeace> Greves -c 0 is card 1
[03:08] <mustard5> Greves, so when you double click on the volume control you get a menu and you look in the File menu and change devices
[03:08] <foampeace> Greves, select the card in software
[03:08] <foampeace> Greves, select card in xmms or bmp or mplayer config etc.
[03:08] <defendguin> i need the imagemagick  dev files so that i can build something that requires it but i dont see the needed package in apt
[03:08] <mustard5> Greves, or as foampeaces says too :)
