[02:58] <[TaTsUo] > Hi, i was wondering if you knew about any UbuntuStudio Installer that fit's in a CD ?
[02:58] <stinger05> firebird: i got ur point, but how do i install the drivers from within ubuntu ?
[02:58] <GhostFreeman> !root
[02:58] <ubotu> do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[02:59] <foxjazz> Evil:  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:59] <sn0w> russe11 you still in here?
[02:59] <foxjazz> Evil you need to run in safe mode and run this line: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:59] <russe11> sn0w, yeah
[02:59] <mrunagi> i had to disable desktop effects to get frostwire to open but when i restarted the effects the 3d desktop doesnt work.....any ideas?
[02:59] <mrunagi> mrunagi
[02:59] <sn0w> russe11, you had any luck having compiz fusino use emerald
[02:59] <russe11> sn0w, yeah, I'm using emerald right now.
[02:59] <Evilbadwrong> foxjazz: And that will fix it?
[02:59] <SAM_theman> !rhythmbox
[02:59] <ubotu> Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine  -  See also !codecs
[02:59] <sn0w> russe11, when i manually run emerald --replace & its all good, and the windows are fine, i put that in for the decorator command in compiz, no go
[02:59] <SAM_theman> !rhythmbox autoplay
[02:59] <sn0w> russe11, how did you get your to launch emerald by default
[03:00] <CAL|SMeltn> is there a good link I can go to, in order to find linux based drivers for alot of hardware?
[03:00] <CAL|SMeltn> like Mice, keyboards, monitors etc
[03:00] <foxjazz> Evil, you have to do that, and it will give you config choices, and then you will be back to square one
[03:00] <Evilbadwrong> foxjazz: Ok, I'll give it a shot. Thank you so much!
[03:00] <russe11> sn0w, I don't know that it is launching by default. I JUST installed compiz-fusion, so probably when I log in again I'll have to run emerald again.
[03:00] <quinton> omha, How do I get the blinkey notepad back lol?
[03:00] <clayg> yeah and you raised your hand and !paste him, dont be  a cry baby and still wanna talk about it

[03:07] <quinton> bllz, Do you mean remove FAT32?
[03:07] <CAL|SMeltn> how do I find out the name of my wireless nic card in ubuntu?
[03:07] <DavidCraft_> i am having trouble. when i spoof my wireless interface (ath0) i cannot connect to my wireless router anymore. it acts as if my encryption password is wrong or something. the nm-applet application repeatedly asks me for my wep key, and when watching iwconfig, all looks normal, just no connection. anyone have any ideas?
[03:07] <mboldisc> lspci??
[03:07] <foxjazz> Anyone having any luck playing movies?
[03:08] <russe11> CAL|SMeltin: it should show up in System-administration-networking
[03:08] <CAL|SMeltn> it doesnt
[03:08] <mongolai> zabin, I disabled power management as my computer is old/doesn't support ACPI, but did you check the "System" menu items ?
[03:08] <IndyGunFreak> CAL|SMeltn: try typing lspci in a terminal, see if it shows hter.
[03:08] <Busata> I just watched die hard 4 foxjazz, so, yes! :-p
[03:08] <TaJMoX> foxjazz - most of us =)   open up the add/remove programs - click All available packages - search for gstreamer codecs
[03:09] <Busata> yippiekayee
[03:09] <clayg> Busata is any good?
[03:09] <russe11> Does anybody know anything about using multiple network cards in ubuntu? I have two and would like to use both...
[03:09] <Busata> clayg, well, some "o.O" action scenes, but entertaining to watch :) and it's bruce, can't go wrong :)
[03:09] <zabin> mongolai: i have a power management tab but i want to set something up like xp has where yuo can tell it not to use a lot of power if yuo are on a battery.
[03:10] <clayg> nice, you grab the ts ver?
[03:10] <CAL|SMeltn> it says Network controller: INtersil Coporation Prism 2.5 Wavelan chipset ( rev 01)
[03:10] <clayg> and agreed bruce is the man, from moonlighting to present
[03:10] <IndyGunFreak> well, that might be it, i don't know.
[03:10] <Busata> clayg, not sure if I want to talk about that in such a public channel :)
[03:10] <IndyGunFreak> CAL|SMeltn: does that sound like your wireless controller?
[03:10] <CAL|SMeltn> and then Ethernet controller: Intel corp 82801CAM (ICH3) Pro/100 VE
[03:11] <mboldisc> that sounds like onboard
[03:11] <IndyGunFreak> thats probably onboard, is my guess.
[03:11] <CAL|SMeltn> IndyGunFreak: I guess so considering the other is the normal
[03:11] <CAL|SMeltn> they both are
[03:11] <AmBAr> I have Ubuntu 7.04 , and my sound module is: snd_intel8x0  and her is load, on lspci my sound card are visible, but im without sound ! alsamixer says: No such device
[03:11] <CAL|SMeltn> its a laptop
[03:11] <clayg> lol but of coarse
[03:11] <CAL|SMeltn> IBM thinkpad
[03:11] <cactaur> CAL|SMeltn: Try doing "lspci -v". That should give you more information on the make and model.
[03:11] <Bllz> quinton, i'm not following you
[03:11] <Bllz> i'm trying to mount a fat32 partition
[03:11] <Bllz> but i can't do it
[03:11] <Busata> clayg: (but yes, was very good qual)
[03:11] <CVD> Any  image creator(iso, bin/cue) for linux.. im do not want terminal
[03:11] <cactaur> CAL|SMeltn: dig through and see if any of that looks familiar.
[03:12] <sn0w> russe11, i got it
[03:12] <mongolai> zabin, I know it's possible, I just can't remember how to do it. While you wait for someone more experienced...
[03:12] <clayg> nice
[03:12] <pr4bh> hi guys, ive got a dvd with video_ts folder, how do i burn it on dvd that is readable by nomal dvd players?
[03:12] <CVD> an a deamonTools for linux
[03:12] <SAM_theman> If I install nvidia binary driver would it be bad for my computer?
[03:12] <sn0w> russe11, i just added a session "emerald --replace &"
[03:12] <SAM_theman> on ubuntu 7.04?
[03:12] <AmBAr> yes
[03:12] <russe11> sn0w, cool. Good to know that works.
[03:12] <mongolai> ... check google for "linux ACPI throttling"
[03:12] <Firebird> CVD, in Feisty you can right-click on a cd and choose 'copy disc', then select 'image file' as target
[03:12] <sn0w> russe11, but also in the compiz settings, put emerald --replace &, that alone did not work, but if you leave gtk-window-decorator, it might still use that
[03:12] <IndyGunFreak> CAL|SMeltn: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2833589
[03:12] <mboldisc> I always use k3b to burn dvd's.
[03:13] <AmBAr> I have Ubuntu 7.04 , and my sound module is: snd_intel8x0  and her is load, on lspci my sound card are visible, but im without sound ! alsamixer says: No such device
[03:13] <clayg> pr4bh, not sure maybe k9copy?
[03:13] <pr4bh> ok ill try it, thanks
[03:13] <russe11> sn0w, I'm confused. What do you mean by putting that in the compiz settings, and leaving gtk-window-decorator?
[03:13] <CVD> and a iso mounter front end?
[03:14] <Firebird> CVD, good question :)
[03:14] <AmBAr> netsplit
[03:14] <sn0w> russe11, no i meant make sure you dont leave the gtk one in there, i put emerald --replace & in compiz, and logged off and back in, and it still used gtk anyway
[03:14] <russe11> sn0w, in where?
[03:14] <c_> There is something wrong with my usplash. It does not show me a image on boot up and when I press alt f1 it shows me text.
[03:14] <sn0w> russe11, so i left emerald --replace in there, and added a session to gnome to run that command
[03:14] <CVD> i have some iso, cue/bin images
[03:14] <Firebird> CVD, there are scripts to make mounting easy with nautilus... that's all I know
[03:14] <nalioth> !iso
[03:14] <ubotu> To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[03:14] <AmBAr> ubuntu 7.04 and problems with alsa sound card... someone can help me ? please
[03:15] <SAM_theman> !nvidia
[03:15] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:15] <sn0w> russe11 window decorator plugin
[03:15] <russe11> sn0w, how do I "put" that "in compiz"?
[03:15] <russe11> sn0w, ahh
[03:15] <Kat1> what app do we use to open 7z achives?
[03:15] <sn0w> russe11 the command it runs
[03:15] <Firebird> he wants to avoid the command line nalioth :)
[03:15] <mongolai> Does anyone here know where GNOME keeps its user start-up settings. PROFtp is causing a terminal to open in /etc/proftp each time I log on
[03:15] <c_> Any one?
[03:15] <sn0w> mongolai, gnome start, or boot stuff
[03:15] <nalioth> the command line is your friend  :)
[03:15] <russe11> So you're saying putting emerald --replace & in there does or does not work?
[03:15] <Firebird> hehe, yeah...
[03:15] <CVD> i miss the deamon Tools for windows!!
[03:15] <sn0w> mongolai, gnome startup stuff is System -> prefs -> sessions
[03:16] <Kat1> nevermind, it was hidden in synaptic... thanks bye
[03:16] <EADG> CVD: What did they do? probly an equvalant to be found for Ubuntu.
[03:17] <CVD> mount lots of different types of images
[03:17] <mongolai> sn0w, thanks, but I'm actually looking for the lower-level configuration file.
[03:17] <sn0w> mongolai, ah ok
[03:17] <DavidCraft_> i am having trouble. when i spoof my wireless interface (ath0) i cannot connect to my wireless router anymore. it acts as if my encryption password is wrong or something. the nm-applet application repeatedly asks me for my wep key, and when watching iwconfig, all looks normal, just no connection. anyone have any ideas?
[03:17] <c_> Can any one help me at all?
[03:17] <EADG> CVD: i saw a program on www.ubuntuessentials.net last night for that, don't recall the name though.
[03:18] <CVD> okmi chek it out
[03:18] <quinton> Can anyone help me with installing a theme?
[03:18] <EADG> CVD: I remeber it 'cause it does nrg images...

[03:20] <Evil_Ethe1> I already have ubuntu installed on a linux raid setup and want to know if it is at all possible to install xp to a new hard drive with out reinstalling ubuntu?
[03:20] <mongolai> and you just want to install it?
[03:20] <user123> someone fixs a bug alsa/feisty? My ubuntu ppc don't speak!
[03:20] <johndoc> Still having some sound issues guys.  Is there a way that I can make my laptop boot using "usb audio" instead of alsa?
[03:20] <quinton> mongolai, yup install make show on the screen... just get it to work =]
[03:20] <quinton> mongolai, it came with a boot do they all?
[03:21] <stinger05> what does it mean when the terminal says that i should run as root ?
[03:21] <gantrixx> is there a way to upgrade to U7.04 without the U7.04 Live disk?
[03:21] <EADG> stinger05: preface the command with sudo
[03:21] <TaJMoX> stinger05 - sudo (command)
[03:21] <gantrixx> I have a old laptop (P3 500MHz) that is having a real hard time with the install
[03:21] <nalioth> !tell gantrixx about upgrade
[03:21] <mongolai> quinton, open the theme manager "System/Prefs/Themes" and drag/drop the theme file into the window.
[03:22] <quinton> mongolai, well see it came in a zipped folder... do I just unzip and drag that entire folder in?
[03:22] <russe11> sn0w, did you say you fixed the bottom right show desktop thing?
[03:22] <mongolai> quinton,  is it a tar.gz file?
[03:22] <quinton> mongolai, yes
[03:23] <sn0w> russe11, no i never got that figured out
[03:23] <mongolai> quinton, yep. Just drop it in the theme manager!
[03:23] <quinton> mongolai, it says its not supported.

[03:25] <milk__> <--- gnome ^^
[03:25] <jack|Helium> Hello, I'm having boot problems
[03:25] <mavsman4457> when I try to install a new kernel by terminal it gives me, E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
[03:25] <mavsman4457> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[03:25] <gantrixx> is there a way to tell which version of ubuntu I'm running?
[03:25] <fastshark> Looking for a script to run to show system stats <processor/ram/network bandwidth>
[03:26] <Evil_Ethe1> I already have ubuntu installed on a linux raid setup and want to know if it is at all possible to install xp to a new hard drive with out reinstalling ubuntu? I just want to know if it is possible?
[03:26] <jack|Helium> on an IBM thinkpad A21m
[03:26] <EADG> gar: not up to speed with data bases, but try this... open a terminal and type; apt-cache search <string>  | less
[03:26] <AmBAr> gantrixx cat /proc/version
[03:27] <jack|Helium> its related to irda, and just started (possibly after a recent update) happening
[03:27] <EADG> gar: ... or search for database in synaptic.
[03:27] <mavsman4457> can someone help me out when they are available please?
[03:27] <mongolai> Evil_Ethe1, yes it is possible, but you might need to re-install GRUB from the live-CD later
[03:27] <gantrixx> oh my this is really old
[03:27] <IndyGunFreak> or use the supergrubdisk
[03:27] <Evil_Ethe1> thats not a problem i have installed it on it's own partition
[03:27] <jack|Helium> it has to do with a script that runs at startup
[03:27] <IndyGunFreak> !sgd
[03:27] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sgd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:27] <Evil_Ethe1> thanks
[03:27] <gar> ok - thanks
[03:28] <jack|Helium> /etc/rcS.d/S47irda-setup
[03:28] <jack|Helium> it claims it cannot execute lines 76 and 77 because the device in question is busy
[03:28] <zabin> does anyone know what the name of the application that will let you change the permissions on a usb drive?
[03:29] <jack|Helium> zabin: chmod
[03:29] <DavidCraft_> i am having trouble. when i spoof my wireless interface (ath0) i cannot connect to my wireless router anymore. it acts as if my encryption password is wrong or something. the nm-applet application repeatedly asks me for my wep key, and when watching iwconfig, all looks normal, just no connection. anyone have any ideas?
[03:29] <zabin> thats not it jack
[03:29] <mongolai> Evil_Ethe1, then yes. Go ahead. Windows installation almost overwrites the MBR, so just use the live-CD and re-install GRUB with the appropriate changes to allow booting into XP
[03:29] <zabin> i want to change it to read/write
[03:29] <pr4bh> hi, if i were to burn a video dvd using k3b, would i need to use -dvd-compat with growisofs?
[03:29] <jack|Helium> hmm
[03:30] <jack|Helium> possibly mount
[03:30] <jack|Helium> maybe its mounted read-only
[03:30] <jack|Helium> dont really know what else it could possibly be besides those two
[03:30] <Evil_Ethe1> thanks mongolai
[03:30] <The_PHP_Jedi> where do I get beryl support?
[03:30] <pr4bh> :/

[03:31] <mongolai> Evil_Ethe1, no problem. Do you need help setting up grub.conf?
[03:31] <The_PHP_Jedi> hehe, sorry, forgot the channel and I'vebeen looking for ages in the forums
[03:31] <jack|Helium> The_PHP_Jedi: I'd look in the ubuntu forums/docs for a guide

[03:31] <jack|Helium> hmm
[03:31] <The_PHP_Jedi> mavsman4457: used sudo?

[03:32] <russe11> sn0w, what vid card do you use?
[03:32] <The_PHP_Jedi> KGB14: install windows first, then ubuntu
[03:32] <mongolai> KGB14, you need to use the live ubuntu CD and re-install GRUB
[03:32] <The_PHP_Jedi> ubuntu install will detect and add windows to grub options
[03:33] <The_PHP_Jedi> or re-install grub, yes
[03:33] <sn0w> russe11 ati xpress 1250, its been a pain

[03:33] <mongolai> gantrixx, I think 256 megs
[03:33] <jack|Helium> The_PHP_Jedi: unfortunately, I have no experience there. I have nvidia. sorry.
[03:33] <russe11> sn0w, yet we have exactly the same problems
[03:33] <gantrixx> this is the problem then
[03:33] <The_PHP_Jedi> thanks anyways jack|Helium
[03:34] <sn0w> russe11, yea, at least we know its not driver issues then

[03:34] <gantrixx> 192MB
[03:34] <gantrixx> strange number
[03:34] <Jordan_U> jack|Helium, What is your boot problem?
[03:34] <russe11> sn0w, but someone I'm talking to in #ubuntu-effects is saying he/she has none of these problems, but is using the same repos as I am.
[03:34] <gantrixx> this is an old tux topps laptop I bought about 5 years ago
[03:35] <gantrixx> I'm giving it to my niece
[03:35] <gantrixx> it is currently running Ubuntu 3.x something
[03:35] <mongolai> gantrixx,  you could try to install. It would work, but would run slowly.
[03:35] <jack|Helium> Jordan_U: a script on boot claims it cant execute lines 76 and 77 because the device in question is busy
[03:35] <gantrixx> it seems to lock up on the install of ubuntu or fedora
[03:35] <CAL|SMeltn> this sucks
[03:36] <jack|Helium> Jordan_U: its /etc/rcS.d/S47irda-setup
[03:36] <CAL|SMeltn> all I want to do is get my wifi to work
[03:36] <gantrixx> she just needs an ipod/myspace box

[03:36] <mongolai> gantrixx, use an older distro?
[03:36] <russe11> sn0w, I'm in the channel. Feel free to talk to me there.
[03:37] <jack|Helium> Jordan_U: sorry, tab complete wasn't working
[03:37] <gangrene> I recently shut down my machine, removed a stick of ram, and rebooted. Everything works fine except I cannot connect to the internet
[03:37] <Twinxorr> that's more of a place for xubuntu, gantrixx
[03:37] <gangrene> any idea why such a thing would happen?

[03:37] <The_PHP_Jedi> gangrene: checked modem connections?
[03:37] <gangrene> yes The_PHP_Jedi
[03:37] <jack|Helium> line 76 is "echo disable >$x/resources;"
[03:37] <IndyGunFreak> gantrixx: use Xubuntu for that, it would work great, but so would ubuntu
[03:37] <jack|Helium> and 77 is the same thing except with activate instead of disable
[03:38] <jack|Helium> CAL|SMeltn: I'll read that, tnx
[03:38] <IndyGunFreak> gantrixx: have you tried using the Alternate Install CD?
[03:38] <bahmie> Calling yourself "The_PHP_Jedi" takes some balls.
[03:38] <m1r> who knows what that PHP means :P
[03:38] <gantrixx> IndyGunFreak: what alternate install CD?
[03:39] <The_PHP_Jedi> yes bahmie :)
[03:39] <Jordan_U> jack|Helium, Can you pastebin the entire script?
[03:39] <mavsman4457> now I am getting E: The package linux-image-2.6.22-rc2-ge5de73bc-dirty needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[03:39] <IndyGunFreak> !alternate | gantrixx
[03:39] <ubotu> gantrixx: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal
[03:39] <IndyGunFreak> gantrixx: if you're having problems with the Live CD, use the alternate install,
[03:39] <The_PHP_Jedi> btw, I am *not* TheSoftwareJedi
[03:39] <gangrene> anyone have any idea?
[03:39] <The_PHP_Jedi> he did inspire my idea :)
[03:39] <jack|Helium> Jordan_U: where's the ubuntu pastebin?
[03:39] <gantrixx> !minimal
[03:39] <ubotu> The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[03:39] <Jordan_U> !pastebin > jack|Helium
[03:39] <mongolai> !pastebin
[03:39] <m1r> gantrixx , on slower machine is better to install alternate cd
[03:39] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[03:39] <gantrixx> the alternate install is on the live cd image?
[03:40] <m1r> no gantrixx
[03:40] <mongolai> gantrixx, no. It's a separate dl

[03:40] <BFrank> what is the best way to up the refresh rate in xorg?
[03:40] <BFrank> screen resolution says I am at 85, but it doesn't seem like it
[03:40] <mongolai> BFrank, what resolution?
[03:40] <SAM_theman> !ntfs
[03:40] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[03:40] <BFrank> 1024x768
[03:41] <BFrank> and it claims I am 85hz
[03:41] <necro_> how do i get my mplayer to play .rmvb files?
[03:41] <mongolai> BFrank, it's probably correct
[03:41] <BFrank> why can't I do 100hz?
[03:41] <BFrank> this is a mac mini
[03:41] <BFrank> and I know it can do better on OSX
[03:42] <BFrank> this sure doesn't seem like 85hz
[03:42] <puff`> BFrank: might have something to do with the drivers.
[03:42] <BFrank> it seems more like 60hz
[03:42] <mongolai> BFrank, edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:42] <BFrank> I did edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:42] <BFrank> setting horizsync and vertrefresh
[03:42] <necro_> how do i get my mplayer to play .rmvb files????
[03:42] <dimas__> i would like to know why i cant have my web cam to work on flash player if configuration is good...works on ekiga and xawtv...i dont have any firewall installed and dont know what else i can do...any chat room on the net the cam display come in black...is there any body able to help?
[03:42] <BFrank> nothing so far has helped
[03:42] <BFrank> and xvidtune wasn't very helpful either
[03:42] <gantrixx> where do I get the alternate cd?
[03:43] <BFrank> the intel drivers are good enough to do glitzy effects, but my refresh rate still sucks
[03:43] <IndyGunFreak> gantrixx: from ubuntu.com
[03:43] <mongolai> BFrank, what does /var/log/Xorg.0.log    have to say?
[03:43] <BFrank> hmm
[03:43] <BFrank> it gave me a list of modelines
[03:43] <gantrixx> IndyGunFreak: of course, but I don't see where
[03:43] <jack|Helium> Jordan_U: done
[03:43] <BFrank> does Xorg itself actually bother using anything in the log?
[03:43] <IndyGunFreak> gantrixx: hold on
[03:43] <BFrank> or do I have to manually grab that stuff and put it in the xorg file myself?
[03:43] <necro_> does anyone know how do i get mplayer to play rm, rmvb, ra file?
[03:44] <IndyGunFreak> gantrixx: whats the specs on the PC you're installing to?

[03:44] <IndyGunFreak> gantrixx: ok... hang on
[03:44] <mongolai> BFrank, it will tell you/us if there is a problem running at that refresh rate.
[03:44] <BFrank> interesting
[03:44] <BFrank> let me take a look again
[03:44] <gantrixx> is there a way to start the install without having to boot from the cd?
[03:44] <BFrank> will it flag errors with any particular string?
[03:44] <arooni> how do i get the java jre?
[03:44] <Evolution2> i cant find my windows partition

[03:44] <Evolution2> can someone help
[03:45] <arooni> and how do i change the default java jre form gcj to sun's?
[03:45] <necro_> does anyone know how do i get mplayer to play rm, rmvb, ra file?????????????????????????????????????????
[03:45] <mongolai> BFrank, either "EE" or "WW" it tells you...
[03:45] <BFrank> ok
[03:45] <necro_> ignoring me????

[03:46] <ubun2noob> Does anyone know why my Ubuntu 7.04 server can't recog my video card?

[03:46] <jack|Helium> ubun2noob: what kind is it

[04:05] <Charles_Xavier> do i just click it
[04:05] <Charles_Xavier> and click enable
[04:05] <Charles_Xavier> and then reboot?
[04:05] <Charles_Xavier> it says nvidia driver, should i click enable?
[04:05] <Pelo> datacrusher,   I'll gtive you a link  where you can find instrucitions to reinstall grub,  it should rescan your system for OS and make a proper menu

[04:05] <Jordan_U> Charles_Xavier, Yes

[04:06] <Pelo> Charles_Xavier,  all 3 keys at the same time yes
[04:06] <Charles_Xavier> so all i do is type ctrl+alt+backspace and it will restart x? i dont have to type anything to actually start it after i reboot it ?
[04:06] <quinton> indygunfreak, yes?
[04:06] <IndyGunFreak> that should have added the theme you downloaded to the list
[04:06] <IndyGunFreak> did it work?

[04:07] <quinton> indygunfreak, I had no idea how to add it.
[04:07] <Pelo> Charles_Xavier,  x is the display manager

[04:24] <KurtKraut> DavidCraft, you mentioned that you suppose that it is a Feisty problem. Can you test it on Edgy or Gutsy ?
[04:24] <duelboot> my Logitech Webcam Pro 3000 isn't working (black screen in Kopete)...any help?
[04:25] <Evolution2> can someone help me mount my windows partition because i cant see it
[04:25] <CAL|SMeltn> hmmm
[04:25] <CAL|SMeltn> ok so I still cant change the file
[04:25] <jack|Helium> cavemen: well, if not, there has to be some kind of gnutella p2p for it
[04:25] <CAL|SMeltn> "you are not root. you can not change the file"
[04:25] <Kryton012186> Good evening.
[04:25] <jack|Helium> cavemen: I don't have AMD64 though, so I can't really help
[04:25] <cavemen> jack|Helium: thanks
[04:25] <duelboot> CAL|SMeltn, su to root and then do it
[04:25] <Kryton012186> I have amd 64 but stuck with the 32 bit
[04:26] <duelboot> or run sudo before the command CAL|SMeltn
[04:26] <foxjazz> xchat gnome noob here... How do you see the users in channel?
[04:26] <DavidCraft> KurtKraut, how would i do that? i have one machine that has my work on it...
[04:26] <KurtKraut> DavidCraft, just use a livecd
[04:26] <foxjazz> ah, found it
[04:26] <jack|Helium> foxjazz: click the button under the channel list that says how manu users there are
[04:26] <DavidCraft> ah, didnt think of that.
[04:27] <Kryton012186> What run level do I init so i can get the nvidia drivers to install?
[04:27] <ce_centil> hai
[04:27] <foxjazz> I still can't get youtube to work with firefox
[04:27] <Stormx2> foxjazz: Got flash9?
[04:28] <Kryton012186> foxjazz:  Im new but i would look into your flash player version
[04:28] <Chogg> how do i remove a program from launching at startup, when i can't see what i am typing, i only have a black desktop
[04:28] <Jordan_U> Kryton012186, How are you trying to install the nvidia drivers?
[04:28] <duelboot> my Logitech Webcam Pro 3000 isn't working (black screen in Kopete)...any help?
[04:28] <Cusoon959> Can anyone help? Ubuntu has been stalled at "Setting up google-desktop-linux."
[04:28] <RustySford> hey real quick will 7.04 read/write/erase to an ntfs drive? last version I used was 6.06 or whatever and it couldn't
[04:28] <foxjazz> well I installed flash, but maybe the plugin is using the wrong version.
[04:28] <RustySford> or anyway you can make it
[04:28] <jack|Helium> Stormx2: I though flash for linux only went up to 7?
[04:28] <bruenig> Chogg, get to tty, ctrl + alt + f1
[04:28] <Stormx2> Chogg: Ctrl + Alt + F1 gets you to command line. What app is launching?
[04:28] <foxjazz> how do you set the version?
[04:28] <bruenig> jack|Helium, 9 has been out for about 6 months
[04:28] <Stormx2> jack|Helium: Pretty sure we have 9 now.
[04:28] <CAL|SMeltn> how do I actually edit a file using sudo?
[04:29] <bruenig> like an echo
[04:29] <foxjazz> sudo emac should do it
[04:29] <Jordan_U> CAL|SMeltn, sudo nano file
[04:29] <bruenig> CAL|SMeltn, sudo $editor file
[04:29] <Cusoon959> or sudo nano
[04:29] <Stormx2> CAL|SMeltn: sudo just gives you root. You can use any editor you want.
[04:29] <Cusoon959> or sudo gedit
[04:29] <Jordan_U> CAL|SMeltn, or gksudo gedit file
[04:29] <Cusoon959> Stormx2 is right
[04:29] <bruenig> Cusoon959, gksudo gedit
[04:29] <Stormx2> CAL|SMeltn: gksudo gedit... sudo nano... whatever
[04:29] <jack|Helium> CAL|SMeltn: I just use su ;-)
[04:29] <eboyjr> I've been on the #firefox channel and I can't find the Firefox directory that has the search plugin xml files. Anyone familiar with Firefox <IP_ADDRESS> on Ubuntu 7.04, who can help me?
[04:29] <bruenig> I use su also
[04:29] <Cusoon959> Can anyone help? Ubuntu has been stalled at "Setting up google-desktop-linux."
[04:29] <Chogg> Stormx2: kiba-dock is launching
[04:29] <Cusoon959> I need help :(
[04:30] <bruenig> eboyjr, it is in your .mozilla directory
[04:30] <gantrixx> sometimes it gets to the install part,and I click oninstall, but that is usually where it hangs
[04:30] <Stormx2> Chogg: Ask in #gnome on how to manually remove stuff from gnome startup...
[04:30] <foxjazz> Cusoon, install in safe mode
[04:30] <eboyjr> bruenig: Is that in ~/.mozilla?
[04:30] <Stormx2> Chogg: Unless you do have access to the gnome panels?
[04:30] <bruenig> eboyjr, yes
[04:30] <Cusoon959> PK
[04:30] <Cusoon959> OK
[04:30] <Cusoon959> Failsafe mode
[04:30] <Cusoon959> brb
[04:30] <OmegaCenti> I think I did something very wrong to either my man pages, or my terminals... need some help
[04:31] <Chogg> Stormx2: i have access to them but i can't see anything in the windows
[04:31] <epp> how do i use the cursor that looks like an X?

[04:31] <Cheyenne> Does anyone know how to setup a Https Svn Server?
[04:31] <RustySford> wow lots of help needed right now. just the one question from me and then it's all I need...
[04:31] <RustySford> hey real quick will 7.04 read/write/erase to an ntfs drive? last version I used was 6.06 or whatever and it couldn't
[04:31] <RustySford> or anyway you can make it
[04:31] <OmegaCenti> That, looks very wrong on my man pages.
[04:31] <duelboot> RustySford, yes, use ntfs
[04:31] <Stormx2> Chogg: Ouch...
[04:31] <foxjazz> Rusty, no problem
[04:31] <RustySford> I need to remove some virus files form a hdd and just wanna use the live cd
[04:31] <duelboot> ntfs-3g RustySford
[04:31] <RustySford> i'm not installing it
[04:31] <OmegaCenti> I have been reading the manual of man, setterm, character sets, codepages, and anything else I have gotten my hands on to try and fix this
[04:31] <Chogg> Stormx2: jupp
[04:32] <foxjazz> rusty 7.04 is so damb fast, I am thinking of deleting windows.
[04:32] <RustySford> like if I sudo mount it will it be able to erase the files
[04:32] <bruenig> eboyjr, there is also some in /usr/lib/firefox/searchplugins
[04:32] <RustySford> yeah but it's not my hdd
[04:32] <foxjazz> windows is such bullshit compared to this
[04:32] <fedor_emeliank> Does anyone knows if windows is faster than linux?
[04:32] <Stormx2> Chogg: I'm afraid i can't help :(
[04:32] <RustySford> it's a friends and he does'nt want linux
[04:32] <duelboot> foxjazz, really...I find it much slower than 6.10
[04:32] <Stormx2> Chogg: Again, try #gnome ?
[04:32] <CppIsWeird> foxjazz, try vista, i went to ubuntu after 5 hours
[04:32] <eboyjr> !ohmy | foxjazz
[04:32] <ubotu> foxjazz: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[04:32] <foxjazz> I am running x86_64 HA
[04:32] <jack|Helium> fedor_emeliank: uhh, I wouldn't ask that in here...
[04:32] <duelboot> foxjazz, but still much faster than windows
[04:32] <Chogg> Stormx2: i'm asking now:D thnx anyway:D
[04:32] <duelboot> my Logitech Webcam Pro 3000 isn't working (black screen in Kopete)...any help?
[04:32] <RustySford> yeah so you get what I mean now?
[04:33] <bruenig> CppIsWeird, vista after a year of using linux was such an awful experience
[04:33] <fedor_emeliank> duelboot: why not i am curious
[04:33] <RustySford> like if I mount it using sudo from the live cd will it let me erarse files from his windows ntfs install?
[04:33] <CppIsWeird> bruenig, im a windows user hardcore, i could NOT STAND vista.
[04:33] <duelboot> fedor_emeliank, why not what?
[04:33] <foxjazz> I was scanning through a video.. OMG it was so fast, I haven't seen anything like it.
[04:33] <bruenig> I actually preordered it with some vista business or something thinking I would keep it on a partition just in case, but I formatted it within a day
[04:34] <jack|Helium> VISTA: Viruses Intruders Spyware Trojans Adware
[04:34] <fedor_emeliank> duelboot: i mean... who is faster: windows xp or linux?
[04:34] <foxjazz> Vista is a virus
[04:34] <jarrod> hello i have a comp w/ under 200mb of ram what distro should i load?
[04:34] <OmegaCenti> I have been reading the manual of man, setterm, character sets, codepages, and anything else I have gotten my hands on to try and fix this. My man pages/ terminal is not formatting correctly
[04:34] <ibanex> hi all, does feisty have a default firewall? i cannot ping or ssh to the other computers on my network
[04:34] <Jordan_U> Cusoon959, Boot from a LiveCD, mount your system partition, chroot in ( sudo chroot /media/mountpoint ) then remove google-desktop with apt-get
[04:34] <bruenig> jarrod, xubuntu if you want ubuntu, zenwalk is a good one as well
[04:34] <duelboot> can't speak for all of linux, but Ubuntu and fedora are fedor_emeliank
[04:34] <jack|Helium> jarrod: I use ubuntu with E17
[04:34] <foxjazz> you could probably run windows under vmware linux and it be just as fast.
[04:34] <IndyGunFreak> fedor_emeliank: what do you mean who is aster?
[04:34] <datacrusher> pelo:
[04:34] <Ramzi> Fedor rules.
[04:34] <jack|Helium> jarrod: slackware or gentoo would be good
[04:34] <foxjazz> who needs to boot linux anyway?
[04:34] <cavemen> hi
[04:34] <datacrusher> [Jordan_U] : i give up
[04:35] <baikonur> hi
[04:35] <duelboot> fedor_emeliank, I said 7.04 is slower than 6.10
[04:35] <datacrusher> how do i install all it over again
[04:35] <datacrusher> with dual boot for sure?
[04:35] <foxjazz> When you install something on linux you don't get the "you have to reboot" message. (at least most the time).
[04:35] <duelboot> fedor_emeliank, then again, I'm on a PIII 1.2Ghz box
 thanks ill look in to thoose
[04:35] <Kryton012186> Anyone here that can help me with Nvidia drivers?  The directions nvidia gives dont work
[04:35] <foxjazz> datacrusher, don't dualboot
[04:35] <cavemen> WTF is wrong, all the dowloadable stuff I am try to downlaod is opened by KATE?  Firefox does it properly
[04:35] <Jordan_U> datacrusher, I doubt that re-installing would help
[04:35] <datacrusher> install xp first, creating thf first partition? and after this to install ubuntu and get the dual boot?
[04:35] <foxjazz> use vmware OMG
[04:35] <bruenig> !ati | Kryton012186
[04:35] <ubotu> Kryton012186: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:35] <baikonur> I try to setup my PCMCIA WLAN interface. I want to use the hostap driver but it automatically uses "orinoco" driver. Where can I change that?
[04:35] <cavemen> for christ sake
[04:35] <Jordan_U> datacrusher, Did you try sudo update-grub ?
[04:35] <datacrusher> yes
[04:35] <datacrusher> iv told u
[04:36] <Ramzi> Kryton: What are you trying to do?
[04:36] <eboyjr> bruenig: In the file manager, why can't I create an XML file? The Create Document menu is disabled.. in /usr/lib/firefox/searchplugins???
[04:36] <duelboot> HELP PLEASE:  (pardon the screaming)...my Logitech Webcam Pro 3000 isn't working (black screen in Kopete)...any help?
[04:36] <Kryton012186> wow..... a bot respoded
[04:36] <datacrusher> i did this, i entered fdisk /dev/sda
[04:36] <booradley> i heard there was argument over windows and linux in here
[04:36] <booradley> so i had to show up
[04:36] <Kryton012186> ramzi: install the drivers
[04:36] <datacrusher> and altered the boot flag from the sda5 to up
[04:36] <jack|Helium> cavemen: uninstall and re-install kate maybe
[04:36] <bruenig> eboyjr, do it in ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/searchplugins
[04:36] <datacrusher> but didnt worked
[04:36] <Jordan_U> datacrusher, You could load grub from ntldr
[04:36] <Pelo> duelboot,  did you check in the forum ?
[04:36] <datacrusher> so i took of the flag off from the linux partiton, sda1
[04:36] <bruenig> !language | cavemen don't blaspheme mythological characters some find it offensive
[04:36] <ubotu> cavemen don't blaspheme mythological characters some find it offensive: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[04:36] <duelboot> Pelo, yes
[04:36] <cavemen> jack|Helium: nope, that happend in ALL installtion I've made on several coputers
[04:36] <foxjazz> booradley, was just telling everyone how fast Linuz is compared to windows.
[04:36] <Jordan_U> datacrusher, Then you could be sure that windows would boot at least
[04:36] <datacrusher> and didnt get the windows back anywai
[04:36] <foxjazz> There is no comparison!
[04:36] <fedor_emeliank> I mean this: if I run openoffice on windows xp and if I run openoffice on linux, where it will open faster??? sometimes firefox seems slower than in windows...
[04:37] <Ramzi> Kryton: I have Nvidia. Things work fine here, but UT2K4 won't run. That's why I'm in here.
[04:37] <jack|Helium> cavemen: weird, is there a kubuntu specific channel?
[04:37] <duelboot> Pelo, and checked the google oracle as well, but could not find a solution
[04:37] <user01> is there a list of wireless cards automatically detected by ubuntu?
[04:37] <foxjazz> I am running x86_64 bit Ubuntu, and it screams!
[04:37] <bruenig> fedor_emeliank, should be about the same
[04:37] <bruenig> !wifi | user01
[04:37] <ubotu> user01: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[04:37] <Pelo> duelboot,  did it work before and stop working ?
[04:37] <Jordan_U> fedor_emeliank, Try installing preload
[04:37] <datacrusher> i really wanted now, its a grug instaler, that could scan my hd for other systems
[04:37] <jack|Helium> fedor_emeliank: thats because FF is java (I think)
[04:37] <bruenig> user01, a good idea is to google for your card followed by the word linux
[04:37] <datacrusher> and then make a clean, beautiful grub.
[04:37] <ibanex> hi all, does feisty have a default firewall or block rule? i cannot ping or ssh to the other computers on my network
[04:37] <bruenig> jack|Helium, FF is not java
[04:37] <KurtKraut> jack|Helium, no, it is not. And Mozilla prefers it to be called 'Fx' nor FF
[04:37] <user01> bruenig: yeah couldnt find anything
[04:38] <eboyjr> bruenig: Couldn't find "/home/eboyjr14/.mozilla/fire...e400w05.default/searchplugins". Please check the spelling and try again.
[04:38] <baikonur> how can  I change the driver that is automatically used for pcmcia device?
[04:38] <duelboot> Pelo, just tried it tonight...i use it so rarely...last time I was in 5.10 (or so) and had to manually do everything, but I got it to work...now in 7.04, I can't
[04:38] <bruenig> eboyjr, create the directory then
[04:38] <cavemen> OMG ubotu!! That's hilarious, ubotu says don't blaspheme "mythological characters" to Christ? Ha ha ha, I think Chrsitians would find quite a blasphemy calling Jesus Christ a "Mythological Character" ROFLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!
[04:38] <datacrusher> [Jordan_U] : what about lilo?
[04:38] <bruenig> !caps | cavemen
[04:38] <ubotu> cavemen: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[04:38] <datacrusher> jesus didnt had middle fingers.
[04:38] <foxjazz> ROFL
[04:38] <fedor_emeliank> can anyone give me a reason to install ubuntu on the university instead of windows xp (that will give support until 2014) ???
[04:39] <foxjazz> Oh, the story on the middle finger came from the french
[04:39] <Ramzi> Can someone help me figure out why UT2k4 won't run?
[04:39] <foxjazz> It was really the fist finger, not the middle
[04:39] <bruenig> fedor_emeliank, linux has its advantages, more secure more software, free, etc. You weigh what you need and choose
[04:39] <foxjazz> The french would chop off the first finger of their enemy, so they couldn't shoot.
[04:39] <datacrusher> so , its better for jesus to dont have both.
[04:39] <bruenig> !windows | fedor_emeliank use this if you want no one here will be bothered

[04:39] <cavemen> yo ubuto has me in stitches
[04:39] <calc2> fedor_emeliank: an ubuntu release isn't supported until 2014 itself, but you can upgrade easily
[04:39] <foxjazz> And the insult would be to show their first finger.
[04:39] <ubun2noob> My video card is not recognized and can't get better than 800x600 resolution.
[04:40] <ibanex> hi all, does feisty have a default firewall or block rule? i cannot ping or ssh to the other computers on my network
[04:40] <RustySford> so will 7.04 allow erase from a mounted ntfs drive. earlier versoins would read but not write or erase. will it support erasing now? yes or no? should be an easy question to answer
[04:40] <foxjazz> ubun2noob what vidio card
[04:40] <bruenig> !iptables | ibanex
[04:40] <ubotu> ibanex: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[04:40] <datacrusher> that makes sense
[04:40] <fedor_emeliank> ok guys, thank you very much
[04:40] <OmegaCenti> Still looking for help on my terminal not displaying correctly. typing reset and or clear does not fix the problem. Even across reboot the bug is persistant.
[04:40] <datacrusher> since they now would shoot with theyr middle
[04:40] <ubun2noob> foxjazz, Matrox Marvel TV G400
[04:40] <duelboot> ibanex, it's called iptables, but it doesn't stop you by default from doing ssh
[04:40] <Ramzi> Can someone help me figure out why UT2k4 won't run?
[04:40] <Jordan_U> datacrusher, You could try it, I don't know how it will work
[04:40] <ibanex> my iptables is clear, all policies are accept
[04:40] <cavemen> WTF, this ubotu got real jokes!! ---> "please visit ##windows or your nearest mental health institute."

[04:42] <GenNMX> Does anyone here know how to reset a LVM where the drive assignment was change for one of the drives?
[04:42] <bruenig> user01, the ubuntu wiki is noted as awful
[04:43] <duelboot> ibanex, last time I had that problem, I was using windows and zonealarm hadn't started properly...no assist here
[04:43] <foxjazz> NOOB try this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[04:43] <ibanex> duelboot: alright, thanks anyways
[04:43] <bruenig> user01, too many people are interested in posting their howtos on their podunk blogs and posting it to digg hoping to get traffic than contributing to a functioning wiki
[04:43] <duelboot> bruenig, read that and tried it already...no luck
[04:43] <user01> bruenig: then the link says This page does not exist yet.
[04:43] <bruenig> user01, ubuntu of all distros I have ever tried has the worst wiki yet is the largest
[04:43] <kambei> Hi.  I have a laptop with Feisty.  The laptop has a trackpad.  The trackpad is extremely sensitive.    I had previously passed a kernel argument at boot to disable the advanced features of the trackpad.  As of the new kernel in Feisty, this method no longer works.  How should I go about correcting the issue?
[04:43] <bruenig> largest distro that is
[04:44] <duelboot> bruenig, support for spca5xx is supposed to be native in 7.04
[04:44] <bruenig> duelboot, k
[04:44] <ubun2noob> foxjazz, THanks.
[04:44] <user01> bruenig: bsd howtos and wikis are quite good
[04:44] <bruenig> user01, yeah because their users aren't concerned with trying to get retarded blog traffic
[04:44] <yep> Whats the command line for finding files which a certain extension?
[04:44] <bruenig> yep, locate *.extension
[04:44] <yep> thanks
[04:44] <duelboot> bruenig,  you beat me to it
[04:45] <datacrusher> well people
[04:45] <datacrusher> i give up

[04:47] <bruenig> jack|Helium, yeah 5 hits would knock it down
[04:47] <user01> bruenig: i never got blogs to begin with . . . documenting what you did for the day takes away that much time you could have done something else more worthwhile
[04:48] <jack|Helium> bruenig: but then you can complain about the cost of high bandwidth lines and computer hardware on your blog too
[04:48] <duelboot> okay, one last try tonight...my Logitech Webcam Pro 3000 isn't working (black screen in Kopete)...any help?
[04:48] <bruenig> user01, I don't mind blogs, but these idiots who post little ubuntu howtos that a two year old could write instead of putting them in a centralized wiki are community jackasses
[04:48] <yep> bruenig, I need your help again
[04:49] <yep> bruenig, if I type that command, it doesnt work
[04:49] <bruenig> arch, which is like 14 on distrowatch has a wiki 10 times as helpful as ubuntus
[04:49] <bruenig> yep, what happens
[04:49] <yep> it doesnt find the file
[04:49] <user01> bruenig: well another growing problem with the wiki i see is that its sort of patchworked together from older versions . . .
[04:49] <bruenig> yep, how do you know the file exists
[04:49] <chump> hey guys i tried installed and compiling drivers for my wifi card from sourceforge(so i could run airsnort) and it failed an messed up my wifi card now i'm trying to revert back to the drivers that ubuntu comes with normally how can i do this 3945ABG?
[04:49] <yep> and that file exists
[04:49] <bruenig> yep, what command did you use
[04:49] <user01> bruenig: in a couple more releases its going to be a real mess
[04:49] <marfeath> what is the point of the lowlatency kernel?
[04:49] <yep> when I type "ls" it doesnt appers too..
[04:49] <onexused> yep: try sudo updatedb first
[04:50] <bruenig> yep, it doesn't appear?
[04:50] <yep> it doesnt appert when I type ls too
[04:50] <bruenig> yep, ok so it probably doesn't exist
[04:50] <yep> but I can see it throuh the Desjtop
[04:50] <yep> *Desktop
[04:50] <DavidCraft> i am having trouble. when i spoof my wireless interface (ath0) i cannot connect to my wireless router anymore. it acts as if my encryption password is wrong or something. the nm-applet application repeatedly asks me for my wep key, and when watching iwconfig, all looks normal, just no connection. anyone have any ideas?

[04:51] <bruenig> yep, doesn't show it?
[04:51] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: what's wrong?
[04:51] <DishBreak> Ramzi, whatis your file
[04:51] <DishBreak> question
[04:51] <onexused> Ramzi: see above
[04:51] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: I've been there
[04:51] <Ramzi> I downloaded the UT2k4 demo
[04:51] <yep> no it doesnt
[04:51] <pr4bh> ok, the refresh rate in xorg.conf is 80-120 still in screen resolution window it shows it to be 60? :S
[04:51] <yep> oh sorry
[04:51] <Ramzi> And it loads the title screen, and then nothing happens.
[04:51] <yep> my mistake!
[04:51] <bruenig> yep, it probably isn't there, the graphical part is wrong
[04:51] <jarrod> bruenig, what can you tell me about zenwalk server
[04:51] <Mike> how do I stop X11 without dropping to run level 1?
[04:51] <yep> but locate *.wmv doesnt find it anyway
[04:51] <user01> bruenig: does the wiki have editors?
[04:52] <Ramzi> What could be the problem, and how can I fix it?
[04:52] <bruenig> jarrod, some religious nut creates it, that is about it, I am not really a server person
[04:52] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: I'm not quite sure what that is, but I think I've heard of it in reference to games
[04:52] <Ramzi> It's a game, yes.
[04:52] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: what kind of graphics card do you have
[04:52] <pr4bh> mmm
[04:52] <yep> bruenig, but locate *.wmv doesnt find it
[04:52] <kambei> Ramzi: Have you run it from the command line and inspected the output?
[04:52] <bruenig> user01, you can edit the wiki yes, kind of the point
[04:52] <Ramzi> NVidia GeForce FX 5200
[04:52] <chump> is there any one in here that knows a lot about installing drivers for linux or more over remving or reverting to older drivers ??
[04:52] <kambei> That would be the primary step.
[04:52] <Ramzi> kambei, let me try that
[04:52] <bruenig> yep, you said that it doesn't show up when you ls either right?
[04:52] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: ahh, I have a 5500, did you install the nvidia drivers?
[04:52] <yep> ls shows up
[04:53] <user01> bruenig: right but there arent specific people designation to go through and look for errors?
[04:53] <Jordan_U> !anyone | chump
[04:53] <ubotu> chump: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[04:53] <yep> but locate *.wmv doesnt..
[04:53] <Mike> how do I stop X11 without dropping to run level 1?
[04:53] <Ramzi> jack: I don't know. I installed drivers to get better resolution settings, if that counts.
[04:53] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: good cards, but kinda outdated
[04:53] <bruenig> user01, don't know doesn't really much matter, normal users check it
[04:53] <dr_willis> Mike,  kill the gdm service
[04:53] <marfeath> Mike: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop is what I use
[04:53] <jack|Helium> !nvidia
[04:53] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:53] <Ramzi> I also tried to use the unsafe drivers from the application manager, or something like that
[04:53] <Jordan_U> yep, locate takes time to update its database, try find for recent files
[04:53] <Mike> ty
[04:53] <Ramzi> Yeah, I saw that guide already.
[04:53] <jack|Helium> !nvidia > Ramzi
[04:53] <chump> jordan_U well i asked it and no one said anything
[04:53] <yep> Jordan_U, what do you mean try to find for recent files?
[04:53] <bruenig> yep is super confusing
[04:54] <dr_willis> 'sudo updatedb' will force  the locate database to get updated..   and that can take some time. :)
[04:54] <yep> bruenig, when I said that ls doesnt show up, it was my mistake...
[04:54] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: you need to install the proprietary drivers (restricted). The upside is that you can do beryl.
[04:54] <Jordan_U> yep, locate won't show files it hasn't indexed yet
[04:54] <bruenig> yep, so it does showup you say
[04:54] <bruenig> show up*
[04:54] <jack|Helium> !effects > Ramzi
[04:54] <DishBreak> @_@ i've installed w32codecs
[04:54] <m1r> i have just lost my cube from feisty :/
[04:54] <Ramzi> How can I find out where the shortcut leads to, that is, so I can launch the game from the terminal?
[04:54] <m1r> any tip to reanable it?
[04:55] <OmegaCenti> Would anyone happen to know how to configure the virtual terminals on tty1-6 such as font, resolution, rowsxcolumns, background color, foreground colors... etc etc...
[04:55] <yep> bruenig, let me try updatedb then
[04:55] <DishBreak> m1r: cube?
[04:55] <DishBreak> what cube?
[04:55] <Cheyenne> Can anyone help me?
[04:55] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: in the icon proporties
[04:55] <m1r> 3d desktop
[04:55] <DishBreak> oh
[04:55] <bruenig> yep, ok whatever, perhaps you might try one of the non english channels next time they are better for those who are not native speakers
[04:55] <user01> bruenig: i thought gaim was called pidgin now?
[04:55] <m1r> desktop effects only wooble windows
[04:55] <bruenig> user01, yes
[04:55] <dr_willis> OmegaCenti,  you can set the fonts.. and the res if using the framebuffer. but thats about it.
[04:55] <DishBreak> system -> preferences -> desktop effects
[04:55] <DavidCraft> i am having trouble. when i spoof my wireless interface (ath0) i cannot connect to my wireless router anymore. it acts as if my encryption password is wrong or something. the nm-applet application repeatedly asks me for my wep key, and when watching iwconfig, all looks normal, just no connection. anyone have any ideas?
[04:55] <jack|Helium> mlr: have you the appropriate drivers?
[04:56] <m1r> dishbreak , it dont change anything
[04:56] <yep> updating the database make it works now
[04:56] <dr_willis> OmegaCenti,  i guess ya could do some other eye candy with the framebuffer console also. but i normally disable that all.
[04:56] <Ramzi> I see, "Add launch to menu" "Add launcher to Desktop"
[04:56] <Cusoon959> trying to install google desktop in rescue mode didn't help at all
[04:56] <OmegaCenti> dr_willis: using framebuffer eh? how can I tell if I am using the framebuffer?
[04:56] <m1r> jack,  i think so
[04:56] <user01> bruenig: hmmm must not be stable yet then mine still says gaim
[04:56] <clutepc> goober
[04:56] <Cusoon959> Same prob as earlier
[04:56] <yep> bruenig, good job, updating the database makes it work out
[04:56] <Cusoon959> Any suggestions?
[04:56] <dr_willis> OmegaCenti,  its enabled by default. :) i always disable it. It makes the consoles slower.
[04:56] <bruenig> user01, no it is perfectly stable, ubuntu tends to lag behind in updates, it will be out in the next version of ubuntu
[04:57] <OmegaCenti> dr_willis: assume I messed with xorg.conf and it might be off atm... how would I check to know if its on?
[04:57] <m1r> nothing happenes when i enable or disable effects, only woobly windows working
[04:57] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: sorry, that was KDE instrucions, you're in gnome. Go to system/settings/main menu  and find the icon. click edit, and you should be able to see it
[04:57] <Ramzi> How can I run UT2K4 from my terminal?
[04:57] <vladuz976> does the ubuntu website have some utility to search packages like the debian.com/packages ?

[05:08] <bruenig> I prefer reasonably named directories and text files than registries
[05:08] <cables> Cusoon959, it should automatically add itself to startup when you installed it.
[05:08] <Ramzi> I forgot if I installed them or not.
[05:08] <Cusoon959> ok
[05:08] <cables> Ramzi, that's not the right way to do it, Ubuntu can install it automatically.

[05:10] <Ramzi> Alright. Let me try to load the restricted drivers again, and run in root, to see if that fixes anything.
[05:10] <bruenig> xjkx, gmplayer is a file that ships with mplayer and is merely a symlink to mplayer which tells mplayer to launch with a skin
[05:10] <xjkx> bruenig: but i cant use equalizer on mplayer :< whats the hotkey then?
[05:10] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: if it doesn't, my guess if it doesn't is to set the nvidia stuff up for beryl as in this guide:
[05:10] <Rug> I am not new to linux or ubuntu, I have just re-installed after a hardware melt-down.  I have the restricted drivers installed, but I cannot get glx to load.  Suggestions?
[05:10] <xjkx> I want the screen to be more lighten
[05:10] <jack|Helium> !effects > Ramzi
[05:10] <bruenig> xjkx, run gmplayer
[05:10] <cables> bruenig, did you check out ~/.gconf?
[05:10] <bruenig> I don't have gnome
[05:10] <xjkx> bruenig: it gives me erros, mplayer runs fine, strange
[05:11] <xjkx> Thats why i want to reinstall gmplayer
[05:11] <Shadou> i have an External drive, how do I set it so I own it?
[05:11] <foxjazz> Great, youtube now works!
[05:11] <OmegaCenti> Would anyone happen to know how to configure the virtual terminals on tty1-6 such as font, resolution, rowsxcolumns, background color, foreground colors... etc etc...?
[05:11] <xjkx> [MGA]  Couldn't open: /dev/mga_vid (on gmplayer)
[05:11] <bobgill1> Is there a cmd in terminal to bring up a calendar in it
[05:11] <Rug> Shadou: chown _you_:_you_ /path/to/drive
[05:12] <bruenig> are there any good pdf viewers beside evince

[05:12] <Shadou> i tried chown and it doesnt work
[05:13] <Rug> Shadou: did you sudo first?
[05:13] <Shadou> yes
[05:13] <Rug> show me what you typed
[05:13] <jack|Helium> Anyone know how to get the places/system menus to show up under E17?
[05:13] <Shadou> sudo chown shadou:shadou "Shadou's External"
[05:14] <astronouth7303>  Where did ltoa() go in my C++ installation on Ubuntu?
[05:14] <Rug> Shadou: not good enough.  You need to type the full path to the mounted drive.
[05:14] <Shadou> oh
[05:14] <Shadou> picky
[05:14] <Shadou> one oment
[05:14] <Shadou> moment
[05:14] <Rug> Shadou: like this:   sudo chown Shadou:shadou /media/usbdrive
[05:15] <Shadou> does it want the name of the drive?
[05:15] <Shadou> in the path?
[05:15] <Gran> Oi gente...
[05:15] <Rug> Shadou: wherever the drive is mounted
[05:15] <Gran> alguem br?
[05:15] <cafuego> Shadou: If that's a fat32 drive, chown won't work
[05:15] <cafuego> !br

[05:16] <Trixsey> hey
[05:16] <Trixsey> my mic is not working
[05:16] <Trixsey> but my sound is
[05:16] <Trixsey> any ideas?
[05:16] <Gran> #ubuntu-br
[05:16] <Trixsey> ysir
[05:16] <Trixsey> what+
[05:16] <jack|Helium> Trixsey: using alsa?
[05:16] <Trixsey> jack|Helium, OSS
[05:16] <Trixsey> i dont use alsa
[05:16] <jack|Helium> Trixsey: try system/setting/sounds
[05:16] <Jordan_U> Trixsey, Why?
[05:17] <jack|Helium> Jordan_U: thats what I was about to ask
[05:17] <Trixsey> Jordan_U, if i use alsa ai have to put alsa as a warapper around all my programs using sound no?
[05:17] <Ramzi> jack: It works! Yay!
[05:17] <Cheyenne> Can anyone help me?
[05:17] <mdszepher> Hello
[05:17] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: glad I can be of help
[05:17] <Shadou> Rug: it gives me: chown: changing ownership of `/media/Shadou\'s External': Read-only file system
[05:17] <oscurochu> where can i report bugs?
[05:17] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: have fun playing!
[05:17] <Trixsey> also i use xfi, and it only finds the mic (not my sound).. but the sound is working and the mic is not
[05:18] <Jordan_U> Trixsey, No, they just use ALSA...
[05:18] <Rug> Shadou: is it fat32 or ntfs?
[05:18] <Ramzi> But now my res sucks because of the different driver, and is there a way I can run the game, *not* as root?
[05:18] <Shadou> i have no idea
[05:18] <Shadou> ^.^
[05:18] <HamHamT> hello everybody
[05:18] <olskolirc> where can i get that pdf doc called advanced bash scripting
[05:18] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: dunno there...
[05:18] <Rug> where/with what did you format the drive?
[05:18] <mdszepher> Is there a line, or do I just ask away?
[05:18] <foxjazz> Hi Ham
[05:18] <Shadou> oh
[05:18] <Shadou> i formatted it on Windows
[05:18] <Shadou> so NTFS i guess
[05:18] <Cheyenne> Anyone know about Subversion?
[05:18] <GenNMX> http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=advanced+bash+scripting - 1) http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/abs-guide.pdf
[05:18] <Jordan_U> Trixsey, You have to use a wrapper with OSS only applications but there are very few of those
[05:18] <Rug> Shadou: therefore it's ntfs or fat32
[05:18] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: If you have an icon for it, try adding gksudo before the command
[05:19] <GenNMX> olskolirc: Google is your friend...sheesh
[05:19] <Shadou> okay?
[05:19] <HamHamT> I've been having trouble increasing my resolution past the defaults, I have an ATI Graphics Controller, can somebody help me out?
[05:19] <olskolirc> thanks
[05:19] <Rug> Shadou: you cannot change permissions on ntfs drives
[05:19] <Ramzi> What does that do?
[05:19] <Shadou> what :(
[05:19] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: In the icon proporties. it'll just ask for your password like synaptic
[05:19] <Shadou> why not?
[05:19] <Tom[laptop_waiti> how do i switch to root
[05:19] <Jordan_U> Shadou, Are you trying to write to it?
[05:19] <Rug> NTFS = MS
[05:19] <Shadou> yeah, I'm trying to write to it
[05:19] <Jordan_U> !ntfs-3g | Shadou
[05:19] <ubotu> Shadou: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[05:19] <Shadou> :D
[05:19] <Shadou> thanks
[05:20] <Jordan_U> Shadou, np
[05:20] <Rug> Shadou: but be warned that you might lose all of your data
[05:20] <Tom01> how do i switch to root
[05:20] <Shadou> D:
[05:20] <HamHamT> How do you make your resolution higher than the defaults?
[05:20] <Ramzi> Okay. It works. What is the difference between sudo and gksudo
[05:20] <Jordan_U> Rug, ntfs-3g is perfectly stable
[05:20] <Ramzi> And is there a way I can remove the password prompt?
[05:20] <Jordan_U> !gksudo | Ramzi
[05:20] <ubotu> Ramzi: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use  gksudo , as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Avoid ever using  sudo <GUI-application>  See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo for more info
[05:20] <yep> If I want to have root permition I have to type "sudo" on the terminal. How can I have root permition on the Desktop?
[05:20] <Rug> Tom01: I usually do this:   sudo passwd and then su
[05:20] <pr4bh> hi guys, is there any way i can find out FPS of an .avi movie?
[05:21] <Tom01> kk ty
[05:21] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: sudo is for terminal, gksudo is for anything that's not in the terminal, e.g. the "run" dialog, and icons, and scripts that aren't in a term
[05:21] <Ramzi> So... running stuff in sudo is dangerous but running stuff in gksudo is safe
[05:21] <DavidCraft> i am having trouble. when i spoof my wireless interface (ath0) i cannot connect to my wireless router anymore. it acts as if my encryption password is wrong or something. the nm-applet application repeatedly asks me for my wep key, and when watching iwconfig, all looks normal, just no connection. anyone have any ideas?
[05:21] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: I had to use it in some networking scripts
[05:21] <mdszepher> I seem to be getting disconnected from my wireless router about 10 minutes from when I first connect.  After about 10 minutes, I am disconnected, and unable to reconnect unless I restart my computer.
[05:21] <vladuz976> is there an easy application to produce simple movies? I need to make a simple slide show with music for a tradeshow? What about connecting to projectors from an ubuntu running laptop, are there compatibility issues?
[05:21] <Rug> Jordan_U: 100% stable and guaranteed not to fsck up?  never.   It might be fine on a thousand boxes, but could still screw up 1
[05:21] <Jordan_U> Ramzi, Only GUI applications
[05:21] <yep>  If I want to have root permition I have to type "sudo" on the terminal. How can I have root permition on the Desktop?
[05:22] <Jordan_U> Rug, That is true of anything
[05:22] <Ramzi> I guess I don't understand the philosophy of root
[05:22] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: Jordan_U's description is better than mine
[05:22] <Rug> Jordan_U: yes, and my warning is still valid.
[05:22] <Jordan_U> Rug, I thought you were talking about ntfs-3g
[05:22] <jack|Helium> Ramzi:  are you a switching windows user?
[05:22] <pr4bh> guess not :S
[05:22] <Ramzi> jack: Of course
[05:22] <HamHamT> Can somebody help me getting a higher resolution?
[05:22] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: there's really no windows equivalent
[05:22] <Jordan_U> HamHamT, What GFX card?
[05:23] <HamHamT> ATI Radeon 9200 Series
[05:23] <Ramzi> HamHamT: I think I'll be doing that in a few seconds also. The command is ... dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:23] <Jordan_U> HamHamT, Have you tried restricted manager?
[05:23] <kikkymonk> how can I get my logitech MX510 mouse to work?
[05:23] <Rug> I have lost a lot of data trying to use ntfs-3g.  But it has also worked most of the time for me.   Now I avoid it.
[05:23] <Trixsey> Jordan_U, how do I set it up then
[05:23] <HamHamT> I'm switching from Windows and have no idea how Linux works, so no clue @Jordan_U
[05:23] <Ramzi> jack: I mean, I'm the only user of this computer. Why can't I just be considered root all the time?
[05:23] <Jordan_U> Rug, Did you loose data using it before it was 1.0 ?
[05:24] <Ramzi> is it so no malicious applications install stuff without me giving it permission
[05:24] <Cheyenne> Anyone know about Subversion?
[05:24] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: It's like the system administrator, but WAY more powerful. It can pretty much do anything to the system. Thats why you're not supposed to use it unless you're doing administration/really, really know what your doing, because iit's easy to mess stuff up
[05:24] <Shadou> That link you gave me told me 7.04 could write to NTFS though i cannot
[05:24] <HamHamT> @Ramzi: I got this error: /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure must be run as root
[05:24] <HamHamT> What's that mean?
[05:24] <Jordan_U> HamHamT, Try System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager
[05:24] <Ramzi> HamHamT: put the word "sudo" in front of the command
[05:24] <Cheyenne> Anyone know about Subversion?
[05:24] <Jordan_U> Shadou, You need to install ntfs-config and enable writing
[05:24] <nirmal> i am on fiesty with AMD sempron and i am unable to enable desktop effects
[05:24] <farcl0ud> is there a good radio scanner for ubuntu ?
[05:24] <Jordan_U> nirmal, What GPU?
[05:25] <HamHamT> @Jordan_U: Says my hardware doesn't need any restricted drivers.
[05:25] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: pretty much everything in linux is SUPPOSED to work without root permissions...
[05:25] <nirmal> its via
[05:25] <Ramzi> Alright. Thanks again jack.
[05:25] <Ramzi> Bye bye.
[05:25] <Trixsey> Jordan_U, audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open resource for writing.

[05:25] <Shadou> i currently don't have internet on my Linux machine, how do i get ntfs-config...
[05:26] <user20000> How can I rename my pendriver's name?
[05:26] <Jordan_U> Trixsey, For what program?
[05:26] <farcl0ud> is there a good radio scanner for ubuntu, eh?
[05:26] <pr4bh> why do all the divx or xvid movies run jerkily on my intel 915gm based laptop?
[05:26] <Rug> Jordan_U: yes and no.   =)    originally tried with version .7 (IIRC) and then later with a more recent version.  Lost data both times.  But it has worked ok several other times too.  I just do not trust it 1%.
[05:26] <Jordan_U> Shadou, packages.ubuntu.com
[05:26] <user20000> How can I rename my pendriver's name? even "sudo rename.." doesnt work
[05:26] <DavidCraft> i am having trouble. when i spoof my wireless interface (ath0) i cannot connect to my wireless router anymore. it acts as if my encryption password is wrong or something. the nm-applet application repeatedly asks me for my wep key, and when watching iwconfig, all looks normal, just no connection. anyone have any ideas?
[05:26] <farcl0ud> anybody?
[05:26] <nirmal> jordon_U: how can i know my GPU
[05:26] <pr4bh> its not VERY jerky but still i dont think im getting good enough FPS
[05:26] <greg_g> farcl0ud, if no one knows the answer right now, try back in an hour or something
[05:26] <jack|Helium> nirmal: lshw ;-)
[05:26] <Falstiu1> is there a 'proper' way to add another superuser like the original user (belonging to all of the special groups)?  Ofcourse search and replace in /etc/group is my first thought.
[05:26] <HamHamT> @Ramsi: how do I find my Video Card's Bus Identifier?
[05:27] <Jordan_U> Rug, Unless you tried a stable version you can't blame it for not being stable
[05:27] <greg_g> farcl0ud, people will answer if they know the answer
[05:27] <nirmal> ok
[05:27] <farcl0ud> ok, thanks greg
[05:27] <greg_g> farcl0ud, no worries
[05:27] <HamHamT> @Ramzi: or do I just put in the default?
[05:27] <GenNMX> HamHamT: X --scanpci or lspci
[05:27] <user20000> How can I rename my pendriver's name? even "sudo rename.." doesnt work
[05:27] <HamHamT> @GenN: says I'm not authrized to run the X server.
[05:27] <Rug> Jordan_U: I am not blaming anybody except MS for 'patching' ntfs and making life more difficult on Linux devs.
[05:28] <bruenig> user20000, your pendrivers name?
[05:28] <Jordan_U> user20000, You mean the disklabel?
[05:28] <user20000> bruenig, exactly
[05:28] <dr_willis> user20000,  try rightr clcking on the icon and use the properties?
[05:28] <GenNMX> HamHamT: sudo X --scanpci
[05:28] <bruenig> user20000, you don't rename, it is assigned a name by udev
[05:28] <Rug> I am not new to linux or ubuntu, I have just re-installed after a hardware melt-down.  I have the restricted drivers installed, but I cannot get glx to load.  Suggestions?
[05:28] <user20000> dr_willis, impossible, I have no permition
[05:28] <HamHamT> @Gen: can you explain the sudo command? I've heard it alot
[05:28] <farcl0ud> im finally learning how to install packages lol
[05:28] <dr_willis> user20000,  does your user even have write permission to the device?
[05:29] <Jordan_U> Rug, I never said you were blaming anybody, but I trust the ntfs-3g devs that they have a stable product
[05:29] <user20000> bruenig, if I use Vista it renames. In Ubuntu , it doesnt
[05:29] <GenNMX> HamHamT: Allows your default ubuntu user to run a command with root (highest) privledges
[05:29] <bruenig> user20000, right, well vista handles drives differently than linux

[05:29] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:29] <user20000> dr_willis, no, thats why it doesnt work. Id like to know how to have such permition
[05:29] <dr_willis> user20000,  so now we are to the actual problem.. is this a vfat, or ntfs formated usb thing?
[05:29] <user20000> bruenig, anyidea about having such permition?
[05:29] <user20000> dr_willis, it is a iPod
[05:30] <bruenig> user20000, you are talking about renaming the drive itself, not renaming files on it right?
[05:30] <Cheyenne> Anyone know about Subversion?
[05:30] <user20000> bruenig, exactly
[05:30] <dr_willis> user20000,  no idea then. I never used one.

[05:30] <GigaClon> Cheyenne, whats your question
[05:30] <user20000> thanks, let me take a look.
[05:30] <bruenig> user20000, you can't
[05:31] <raddy> Hello Everybody
[05:31] <Cheyenne> How do I setup a HTTPS SVN Server?
[05:31] <user20000> bruenig,  :-(
[05:31] <bruenig> user20000, just like you can't rename hard drives
[05:31] <bruenig> user20000, it doesn't matter
[05:31] <user20000> bruenig, I will have to restart then hehe
[05:31] <HamHamT> @Gen: When I insert the command this big list of commands comes out and says Fatal Server Error: Unrecognized option: --scanipci
[05:31] <GenNMX> HamHamT: sudo X --scanpci
[05:31] <GigaClon> Cheyenne, no clue
[05:32] <HamHamT> @Gen: Yeah, thats what I'm doing.
[05:32] <GigaClon> Cheyenne, try subversion.tirgris.org
[05:32] <pr4bh> guys, how do i turn config_preempt off?
[05:32] <GenNMX> HamHamT: sudo X -scanpci ?
[05:32] <GigaClon> tigris
[05:32] <Trixsey> Jordan_U, i put to use alsa in the sound manager
[05:32] <Trixsey> and it says that
[05:32] <HamHamT> @Gen: then I get this: Server is already active for display 0
[05:32] <HamHamT>         If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
[05:32] <HamHamT>         and start again.
[05:33] <HamHamT> @Gen: could it be that I have two terminals open?
[05:33] <GenNMX> HamHamT: Well then the server is already running...try CTRL+ALT+F7
[05:33] <kikkymonk> how do i get my backwards and forwards buttons on my mouse to work?
[05:33] <HamHamT> @Gen: Can't close the other one because I'm using the other one to make my resolution bigger but its asking for my bus identifier.
[05:34] <bruenig> kikkymonk, you don't generally

[05:34] <ubotu> kikkymonk: Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto  - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto
[05:34] <Ramzi> Hey jack. :-(
[05:34] <bruenig> just use mouse gestures, that is what I use
[05:34] <bruenig> or use rocker, then it is pretty much the same as back and forward
[05:34] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: yeah?
[05:34] <HamHamT> Ramzi: What did you put for your bus identifier?
[05:34] <Ramzi> So I just reconfigured my xorg to get better res. Now I have better res, the game won't run again.
[05:34] <GenNMX> HamHamT: Then just do lscpi and look for "VGA Controller"
[05:35] <Ramzi> HamHamT: Just push okay for whatever it defaults to. Then when you get to the screen res page, select all the resses you want
[05:35] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: what error?
[05:35] <HamHamT> Ramzi: ah thats much easier lol
[05:35] <HamHamT> Gen: thanks for the help :)
[05:35] <foxjazz> I am still having problems installing stuff.
[05:35] <Ramzi> jack: So basically I have to choose between having a game and shitty res, or good res and no game
[05:35] <foxjazz> how do you run a .pl file

[05:36] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: I think you might need to set it up for beryl
[05:36] <Ramzi> What is beryl?
[05:36] <bruenig> farcl0ud, install build-essential
[05:36] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: hold on
[05:37] <farcl0ud> yeah, brueing, what does that do?
[05:37] <Rug> What is better Beryl or Compiz?
[05:37] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: in the meantime: http://beryl-project.org
[05:37] <bruenig> farcl0ud, allows you to compile
