[05:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about crossoveroffice - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[05:34] <kelsin> JJtech: crossover office is a commercial version of wine that focuses on Office and other major products, and Cedega is wine with more direct X support, but past that you're looking at some form of emulation

[05:34] <JJtech> Paddy_EIRE: Counter Strike
[05:35] <JJtech> Paddy_EIRE: strike
[05:35] <kelsin> you're best off with wine or Cedega, past that you won't be able to get good performance
[05:35] <dsnyders> excoder, $'\xhh' returns the character equivalent of the hex number hh.  eg: echo $'\x65' echoes an e.
[05:35] <JJtech> Paddy_EIRE: ok i will try cedega
[05:35] <Jack_Sparrow> not free
[05:35] <brandon_> is there a way to access visual effects without the apperacne menu
[05:35] <JJtech> how to obtain cedega?
[05:36] <Paddy_EIRE> JJtech, from the site
[05:36] <JJtech> !cedega
[05:36] <ubotu> cedega is a project based on WINE, aimed at running Windows games on Linux. For more info, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega
[05:36] <Assid> adamonline45: om ?
[05:36] <Jack_Sparrow> see the link above
[05:36] <Assid> err pm?
[05:36] <kelsin> JJtech: if it's like it used to be it's 5 bucks a month to be a member with a 15 minimum or something like that
[05:36] <kelsin> JJtech: don't have to stay a member to keep using it, just to download and then to get support
[05:36] <JJtech> kelsin: OUCH.. i thought everything here is FREE..
[05:36] <kelsin> ubuntu is free
[05:37] <kelsin> cedega is just software that runs on linux, not part of the ubuntu project
[05:37] <adamonline45> Assid: DO you see my replies?  It says I need to register or something.
[05:37] <mofo> ok, I did a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, restarted x, and it does the same thing - totally ignores the config.  I always wind up back with the same default settings.  is it the new gutsy autoconfig "helper"?  how the fsck do I turn it off, how do I just make this look at my xorg.conf file
[05:37] <dsnyders> JJtech, It's free as in liberty, not necessarily free as in beer
[05:37] <kelsin> and wine (which cedega is built off of) does work for most games, just have to look at the appdb on wine's website to see if it runs well without cedega
[05:37] <Paddy_EIRE> JJtech, no its not free.. but hey its only 15 quid
[05:37] <soldats> mofo, i wonder why it didnt change
[05:38] <Paddy_EIRE> dsnyders, you know where I can get free BEER!!!
[05:38] <Paddy_EIRE> :P
[05:38] <excoder> dsnyders: ok it works on some letters. thanks. but i'm not able to echo the (R) symbol. :P
[05:38] <soldats> Paddy_EIRE, if you find out i need some as well

[05:47] <dsnyders> Hi all.  I have some files ending in numbers.  How do I rename/renumber them with a leading zero (eg file_1 -> file_01)?
[05:48] <adamonline45> soldats: It gives me no feedback...
[05:48] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE: do you run wine or dual boot your pc?
[05:49] <soldats> thats strange id suggest you take a visit to freenode.net
[05:49] <Paddy_EIRE> Jack_Sparrow, occasionally run wine
[05:49] <soldats> it has help for that sort of thing
[05:49] <Paddy_EIRE> Jack_Sparrow, although dual-booting is better when it comes to gaming
[05:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE: I may ask you to test a program in a week or two...  It will run in wine or windows...
[05:49] <Paddy_EIRE> sure :)
[05:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE: Will let you know when I get it to beta.. It isnt anything special, but should let you fix or tweak ubuntu system files from Windows or Wine.  full gui
[05:51] <Paddy_EIRE> Jack_Sparrow, wow.. very nice :)
[05:51] <lockd> But if it's your program you can compile it in linux as well.. though it takes winelib if you must use windows API
[05:51] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE: Nothing special.. but will have you check it out for me.
[05:51] <Paddy_EIRE> Jack_Sparrow, anytime... :D
[05:51] <lockd> Jack_Sparrow: is it your own application?
[05:51] <Jack_Sparrow> YEs
[05:52] <Jack_Sparrow> lockd: but it is in VB6
[05:52] <lockd> Jack_Sparrow: oh, so "API" isn't really a question
[05:52] <Jack_Sparrow> lockd: I know realbasic has a version that will cross compile, but is not free
[05:52] <JJtech> i don't know what happen..but my BOX restarted during WINE download..
[05:52] <tntCry> btw guys how come opera cant load websites , it says 404 not found...
[05:53] <_6StringKng_> url correct?
[05:53] <_6StringKng_> opera works fine for me
[05:53] <JJtech> Paddy_EIRE: PC restarted..
[05:53] <Paddy_EIRE> ah..
[05:53] <lockd> but if it was for tweaking system files don't know why you didn't just use a Kommander or something
[05:53] <Jack_Sparrow> JJtech: Odd, was it coming from our repo or from Wine
[05:53] <tntCry> it works sometimes and sometimes it doesnt
[05:53] <dsnyders> HI all!  My renumbering file problem is solved.  I just found the bulk file rename tool on the Applications->Accessories menu.  Handy tool.
[05:53] <tntCry> and why the rating of opera is soo bad in linux :(
[05:53] <JJtech> Jack_Sparrow: i think from wine
[05:54] <Jack_Sparrow> lockd: I wanted to get to them from windows environ... to get back into Ubuntu
[05:54] <Paddy_EIRE> tntCry, because firfox already comes pre-installed :P
[05:54] <Jack_Sparrow> JJtech: just get it from our repos...  less hassle
[05:54] <JJtech> Jack_Sparrow: will you walk me through??
[05:54] <soldats> dsnyders, thats good
[05:54] <tntCry> i recommend opera because of the cool side bar
[05:54] <tntCry> and speeddial and many other things ..
[05:54] <Jack_Sparrow> JJtech: go to synaptic... select wine and install
[05:54] <Paddy_EIRE> JJtech, just let us know where you are at :)
[05:55] <_6StringKng_> only reason I like opera is for the speed dial
[05:55] <JJtech> Jack_Sparrow: ok.. i'll do that sir..
[05:55] <soldats> opera is far superior
[05:55] <_6StringKng_> otherwise I use FF
[05:55] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[05:55] <JJtech> Paddy_EIRE: ok
[05:55] <corruptionoflulz> tntCry: speed dial really isn't that great, i just opened up a text editor and made my own link list in html in like 1 minute.
[05:55] <lockd> Jack_Sparrow: oh, might be interesting how you did that
[05:55] <jiutian> hi

[05:55] <Jack_Sparrow> lockd: see me in about two weeks..
[05:55] <adamonline45> is there a way to restart x without a backspace key?
[05:56] <_6StringKng_> sudo apt-get install wine after adding the repo's to the sources list
[05:56] <tntCry> lol

[05:56] <Dr_willis> adamonline45,  sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[05:56] <kitche> adamonline45: /etc/init.d/gdm will restart gdm which is pretty much the same
[05:56] <Jack_Sparrow> adamonline45: see above
[05:56] <tntCry> corruptionoflulz, yes for the linux world and its people i know what you mean its ok! and the brain is ok with it...
[05:56] <lockd> Jack_Sparrow: do you have the functions?
[05:56] <adamonline45> Dr_willis: kitche: What if I'm using KDE?
[05:57] <corruptionoflulz> tntCry: i don't really follow what you are saying...
[05:57] <JJtech> hey, WINE is already GREEN box in synaptic..
[05:57] <Dr_willis> adamonline45,  sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart
[05:57] <Jack_Sparrow> lockd: the functions?  I can get to the files I want and edit/save them if that is what you mean
[05:57] <tntCry> corruptionoflulz, but for the 44% of the rest are people who are like me and dont want such things but want eyecandy simple and happy user...
[05:57] <Jack_Sparrow> JJtech: go to cli  type wine notepad.exe
[05:57] <tntCry> corruptionoflulz, and 12% are the people who are having trouble with all kinds of systems
[05:57] <lockd> Jack_Sparrow: I could care less about program now.. I just want to see the algorithm (i.e. what to copy over manually)
[05:57] <JJtech> Jack_Sparrow: kk
[05:58] <JJtech> Jack_Sparrow: wait.. hehe, what is " CLI ??
[05:58] <tntCry> 44% of linux lovers and satisfied life style. the other 44% unsatisfied because of the childhood days they havent did what you did..
[05:58] <tntCry> hope you get it now..
[05:58] <Jack_Sparrow> terminal.. command line interface
[05:58] <Jack_Sparrow> DOS prompt
[05:58] <mofo> soldats: ok running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and setting the color depth to 16 made it happy with my laptop's display.  but how do I tell it that I have a second monitor?  I tried then using the "screens and displays" wizard, and that just screwed everything up again.  but running dpkg-reconf xserver-conf doesn't let me tell it about a second monitor, does it?
[05:58] <JJtech> Jack_Sparrow: i see..
[05:59] <corruptionoflulz> tntCry: i hate to break it to you, but opening a text editor (or a web design program) and making an html file with a list of links is really pretty straight forward.
[05:59] <_6StringKng_> you called terminal a dos prompt, lol
[05:59] <soldats> mofo, not sure about that have you searched through the furums
[05:59] <soldats> mofo, im very sorry but im unsure of using 2 monitors
[05:59] <mofo> yep
[05:59] <JJtech> Jack_Sparrow: uhhmm... notepad windows pop-up.. .... ....
[05:59] <mofo> have looked, can't find it
[06:00] <Jack_Sparrow> lockd: here are a couple lines of a bash script..  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46407/
[06:00] <mofo> ok so if there is no way to get my external monitor with gutsy, I'm going to have to downgrade.  I looked for a tutorial - can someone point me to a definitive guide for downgrading from gutsy to feisty?  I'm losing work hours here and just don't have time to sort thruogh this x nonsense
[06:00] <Jack_Sparrow> JJtech: what did you expect?
[06:01] <lockd> Jack_Sparrow: Thanks. Yay, no vb!
[06:01] <kitche> mofo: want downgrade instructions just install feisty anew
[06:01] <ankur> is there any command that can help me to add/del ip address with terminal?
[06:01] <JJtech> Jack_Sparrow: as expected.. window of notepad appears.. ^_^
[06:01] <mofo> can't install it anew - I have tons of things installed and configured specifically - that would set me back days, getting my dev env set up again
[06:01] <Jack_Sparrow> lockd: I thought you would prefer that
[06:02] <ankur> is there any command in ubuntu that can help me to add/del ip address with the help of terminal?
[06:02] <mofo> I need to be where I was two hours ago - either with a working gutsy w/ external monitor, or my old feisty install
[06:02] <Dr_willis> ankur,  what do you mean add/delete ip address?
[06:02] <ankur> yes
[06:02] <ankur> add/deleat
[06:02] <lockd> Jack_Sparrow: Oh.. that's not what I expected
[06:02] <lockd> Jack_Sparrow: that backs up some important stuff though
[06:03] <Jack_Sparrow> yes it does.. right to your desktop
[06:03] <Dr_willis> ankur,    'WHAT' do you mean by add/delete. :)
[06:03] <Dr_willis> ankur,  add them where?
[06:03] <Jack_Sparrow> lockd: with specific file names
[06:03] <lockd> Jack_Sparrow: does the fdisk allow you to reconstruct if you destroy the table by accident?
 like ifcfg command
[06:04] <mofo> anyone?
[06:04] <boss> irc://irc.xdccnet.com/bitchwarez
[06:04] <lockd> Jack_Sparrow: i've done that way too many times
[06:04] <Dr_willis> ankur,  you configure your network cards with the ifconfig command if thats what you are refering to.
[06:04] <Jack_Sparrow> lockd: I think it will... since the switch to uuid I have not had nearly the problems
in fedora core ifcfg command work.Is there in ubuntu ifcfg command have?

[06:13] <ubotu> To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate

[06:14] <TheShadowZero> worked fine before i upgraded
[06:14] <corruptionoflulz> TheShadowZero: although, if you want the most stable one, use rtorrent
[06:14] <ankur> s for example suppose my ip is <IP_ADDRESS> and i want to change it to <IP_ADDRESS> with the help of command
[06:14] <greenman> Jack_Sparrow: Not sure offhand, I know it's not horribly old.  It plays Halflife 2 and  such.
[06:14] <kiosk> haiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
[06:15] <Jack_Sparrow> greenman: at the start install menu.. try F6 then noapic    , also burning slow helps, or use the alternate-text installer
[06:15] <greenman> noapic, what does that do?
[06:15] <lockd> Ktorrent seems like the most useful torrent app
[06:15] <joycetick> ankur: setup a static ip in /etc/network/interfaces?
[06:15] <Jack_Sparrow> greenman: I ask as I have a few around, c610 and c640 d600
[06:15] <greenman> Jack_Sparrow: what do you mean by burning slow?
[06:16] <Jack_Sparrow> greenman: when you burn the *.iso.. burn at slowest speed possible
[06:16] <Jack_Sparrow> greenman: The dell should say on the bottom what model it is
[06:16] <greenman> Ah.  I've never messed with speeds on the MBP, I might  try that if noapic doesn't work.
[06:16] <mihai_> Does anyone know how to update my Synaptic Manager list?
[06:16] <greenman> Jack_Sparrow: Yeah, I'm not  there anymore, it's a friends computer.
[06:17] <ankur> joycetick: no i need to change ip address with the help of terminal .Is there an command in ubuntu?
[06:17] <Jack_Sparrow> housekeeping tonight
[06:17] <prakriti> ifconfig
[06:17] <HateX> hey corruptionoflulz , buy using gparted i'd be copying the whole partition right?, In doing this i would need to wipe my usb disk before copying the vista partition over to it right?
[06:17] <prakriti> ankur : man ifconfig
[06:17] <greenman> Jack_Sparrow: I want to say it's an optiplex
[06:17] <Jack_Sparrow> greenman: try those suggestions...  so not a lappy...
[06:17] <corruptionoflulz> HateX: you could resize whatever partition you have on your usb disk first.
[06:17] <ankur> i read it but not get any option in man ifconfig
[06:17] <corruptionoflulz> HateX: then copy that partition into the empty space.
[06:17] <Jack_Sparrow> greenman: I also have a gx240 optiplx.. use F6 and noapic
[06:17] <greenman> Jack_Sparrow: Nah, desktop.  :)
[06:18] <Jack_Sparrow> maybe 260
[06:18] <mihai_> How can I update the list in Synaptic Manager?
[06:18] <Jack_Sparrow> 478 socket p4
[06:18] <corruptionoflulz> mihai_: there is a refresh button
[06:18] <Jaszbo> ! wifi
[06:18] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[06:18] <greenman> Jack_Sparrow: I'll try  noapic and I'll also Burn a copy  of the text installer if I have to.
[06:18] <corruptionoflulz> mihai_: upper left, "reload"
[06:18] <corruptionoflulz> mihai_: or sudo apt-get update
[06:18] <Jack_Sparrow> greenman: At least you know it will work with the onboard video or the nvidia plug in as well
[06:18] <greenman> The main thing I need is to fix the grub menu, it's trying to load an external hard drive so it gives error 21.
[06:19] <HateX> corruptionoflulz, OK, and once i do that what im planning on doing is upgrading the vista install to a professional version. once that is complete im going to bring back the file from the old vista install to the new. So im going about this right way correct?
[06:19] <mihai_> corruptionoflulz: A lot of programs are still not listed after doing that
[06:19] <prakriti> ankur : you can edit the files in /etc/network by hand and then /etc/init.d/netword restrat
[06:19] <prakriti> restart
[06:19] <greenman> I figured I could use ubuntu livecd to move data around and then just install ubuntu on the main disk
[06:19] <corruptionoflulz> mihai_: then the problem lies not with the updating.
[06:19] <corruptionoflulz> HateX: sorry, i don't really follow exactly what you want to do.
[06:19] <greenman> Jack_Sparrow: Yeah, well I think the MBP uses ATI.
[06:20] <mihai_> corruptionoflulz: Don't I have to set it for the universe or something like that?
 oh i need not do it manually
 i need to do by command
[06:20] <mihai_> corruptionofluz: I remember Kubuntu's Adept Manager having way more programs listed for download
[06:21] <corruptionoflulz> mihai_: if those are the programs you wish to access, then yes
[06:21] <Jack_Sparrow> greenman: I thought onboard was intel.. but either way optiplex did work with the option.. You can create a spare partition for data then install to unallocated space.
[06:21] <kristjans> In where does one place the init-script in Ubuntu?
[06:21] <corruptionoflulz> mihai_: an easy way to do this is system -> admin -> software sources
[06:21] <joycetick> ankur: you can edit in command, nano /etc/...
[06:21] <kristjans> I am an Arch Linux user assisting an Ubuntu user, therefore I do not know where to let him place the init script.
[06:22] <CoasterMaster> !init | kristjans
[06:22] <ubotu> kristjans: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto
[06:22] <HateX> corruptionoflulz,  im taking a computer with vista home and im upgrading it to vista pro (so i can join it to our domain) but i don't want to lose all of the documents stuff on it. I want to copy everything on the drive before i do my fresh install. This seems like that sane thing to do right? copying the entire partition and all?
[06:22] <greenman> Jack_Sparrow: I'm not sure I do know that I ahve the ati drivers in windows.
[06:22] <kristjans> Thank you, CoasterMaster.
[06:22] <Jack_Sparrow> greenman: it will e fine
[06:22] <deefzi> i've installed eclipse, and when i try to compile my .java-files in console, i get error that e.g. Scanner can't be resolved
[06:22] <thani> how to delete history in current shell
[06:22] <deefzi> i have sun-java6-sdk installed though
[06:22] <deefzi> but javac -version gives this:
[06:22] <deefzi> Eclipse Java Compiler v_774_R33x, 3.3.1, Copyright IBM Corp 2000, 2007. All rights reserved.
[06:23] <Jack_Sparrow> !java
[06:23] <ubotu> To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[06:23] <Jack_Sparrow> deefzi: how did you install your version
[06:23] <greenman> Jack_Sparrow: Yeah, he has two internal disks and one external, he's going to move data from the intern als to the external and then install linux on the main drive in a new partition.
[06:23] <greenman> I'm assuming he
[06:23] <greenman> has space
[06:23] <greenman> I'll probab
[06:23] <corruptionoflulz> HateX: if you have documents and stuff, it'd be easy to just copy those instead, but the safest way is back up the entire partition, yes.
[06:23] <deefzi> Jack_Sparrow, first i had sun-java6-sdk installed and then i installed eclipse
[06:23] <greenman> ly have to help him
[06:23] <HateX> corruptionoflulz, i tried connecting the vista hardrive as an additional hardrive to an XP machine and copying all the files over after i took ownership of them but i still was getting many errors like "access dennide"
[06:23] <Jack_Sparrow> deefzi: from our repo or from off the web
[06:23] <corruptionoflulz> HateX: for a minute i thought you were talking about trying to integrate the old partition back into the upgraded one
[06:23] <deefzi> Jack_Sparrow, repo
[06:24] <Jack_Sparrow> deefzi: k.. just checking
[06:24] <thani>  how to delete history in only current shell  ?
[06:24] <HateX> oh no corruptionoflulz
[06:24] <qinjuehang> anyone know about DRM_CMDBUFFER=-22 error with openGL apps?
[06:24] <deefzi> Jack_Sparrow, i can try "javac -1.6 *.java" which should compile with 1.6.0 but still - scanner isn't resolved
[06:24] <deefzi> like wtf
[06:24] <greenman> Jack_Sparrow: Thanks for the help, gonna go back into OS X land.  :)
[06:24] <corruptionoflulz> HateX: then yes, the livecd partition editor should be fine, just resize and- wait.. i don't know if it can copy partitions or not actually... it should be able to.
[06:24]  * Psy-Krow is away: afk
[06:24] <greenman> I'll try your ideas.
[06:25] <Jack_Sparrow> np later
[06:25] <qinjuehang> um...anyone know about DRM_CMDBUFFER=-22 error with openGL apps? and how to slove it?
[06:26] <qinjuehang> I get it from Blender
[06:26] <mihai_> How do I download the security updates for Ubuntu ?
[06:26] <HateX> corruptionoflulz, with regard to XP OS's i was always able to connect the hardrive to another XP machine, take ownership of all the files, then copy all the files to a folder on a different disk. But with vista im running into some rights issues. since this is not my data and im doing if for someone else i do not want to take the chance on not copying something.
[06:26] <tarheelcoxn> I've got no sound on a T43 with an intel ICH6 00:1e.2 0401: 8086:266e (rev 03). terminal bell works, 'tail -1 /proc/asound/oss/sndstat' shows '0: Analog Devices AD1981B' ... snd_intel8x0 is loaded ... can anybody help me troubleshoot?
[06:26] <girly2night> goodmorning ... Crossover or Wine to play wow on linux?
[06:27] <corruptionoflulz> HateX: fair enough, i have pretty much no experience with vista yet, so i'd take it the safe way too.
[06:27] <HateX> corruptionoflulz, im running ubuntu gutsy gibbon so i should be able to use the gparted here
[06:27] <kelsin> girly2night: wine, crossover doesn't add anything you need, and it costs
[06:27] <qinjuehang> girly:you should check the wine apps database
[06:27] <Jack_Sparrow> !wine
[06:27] <ubotu> WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.
[06:27] <Jack_Sparrow> !wow
[06:27] <ubotu> Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php
[06:27] <girly2night> well most guides use wine ... so  i just thought to ask ...
[06:27] <deniz_> quick question, wat is the connection for my us robotics sporster 33.6k called?
[06:27] <qinjuehang> appdb.wine.org I think
[06:28] <Jack_Sparrow> deniz_: SLow.. :)
[06:28] <tarheelcoxn> I should mention that I'm running gutsy, 2.6.22-14-generic
[06:28] <HateX> corruptionoflulz, yeah i hate vista, lots of problems joining them to domains and group policies get very messed up when trying to control XP boxs and Vista boxes with the same policies
[06:28] <Jack_Sparrow> deniz_: Sorry.. I assume it is a hardware modem.
[06:28] <corruptionoflulz> HateX: yes, gparted seems like it should take care of all of your needs. (i think i may have read somewhere that it's safer to run gparted from livecd, but i don't really recall on that one at all, and if you are accessing drives that your linux install isn't on, it should be fine.)
[06:28] <deniz_> no1 knows??
[06:28] <gladier2> hey guys - i keep on having my ubuntu freeze randomly on me - the mouse cursor still moves and its a fresh install
[06:29] <tarheelcoxn> gladier2: is compiz on?
[06:29] <Jack_Sparrow> deniz_: Find the modem by going to a terminal and typing dmesg | grep ttyS
[06:29] <HateX> cool corruptionoflulz , thanx for the help
[06:29] <corruptionoflulz> np
[06:29] <gladier2> tarheelcoxn: it was - since been disabled and still freezing
[06:29] <qinjuehang> m...anyone know about DRM_CMDBUFFER=-22 error with openGL apps? and how to solve it?
[06:29] <tarheelcoxn> gladier2: you've ruled out hardware?
[06:29] <bullgard4> What is the purpose of an 'Ubuntu Hug Day'?
[06:30] <tarheelcoxn> bullgard4: to reduce the number of open bugs
[06:30] <stdin> bullgard4: someone fixes a bug, and you give them a hug :)
[06:30] <tarheelcoxn> bullgard4: or untriaged bugs
[06:30] <gladier2> tarheelcoxn: not entirely yet - i had windows BSOD on my a number of times but it was never the same "reason"
[06:30] <gladier2> ive checked dmesg and /var/log/messages and so far havent seen anything special
[06:30] <ramza3> I want to buy a PC game at the store and have it actually work with wine.  I like all kinds of games; what is a game that you bought recently that is fun and works with wine?
[06:31] <Jack_Sparrow> deniz_: It should show up as ttyS0, 1 ,2, 3, 4 or 5  so Test in terminal sudo screen /dev/ttyS0, 1 ,2, 3, 4 or 5
[06:31] <bullgard4> tarheelcoxn, stdin : Thank you for explaining.
[06:31] <gladier2> ramza3: WOW :P
[06:31] <girly2night> anyone has used the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft guide to install wow? cause i really just started with linux... dont have too much experience with it.
[06:31] <kelsin> gladier2: check ~/.xsession-errors as well
[06:31] <ramza3> gladier2: Hmm, I have that one, ok besides WOW
[06:31] <tarheelcoxn> gladier2: I smell bad capacitors, maybe?
[06:31] <Jack_Sparrow> ramza3: if you want a cool fps... look at sauerbraten.. play online too
[06:31] <deniz_> Jack_Sparrow, i remember u, i was called s3a or s2a b4 basically i need to no wat the port is called so i can make it usb so gnome-ppp detects it thru the usb port
[06:31] <gladier2> probably ...
[06:31] <girly2night> will it be easy or managable for me?
[06:32] <hellonull> anyone familiar with mounting freebsd filesystems from the ubuntu livecd?
[06:32] <Cyntek> my friend is having trouble accessing the command: alsaconf in ubuntu, he is set as root  he keeps getting this msg: bash: alsaconf: command not found
[06:32] <qinjuehang> girly2nite:I guess not a lot of people here tried the guide...cuz WOW costs money.
[06:32] <Cyntek> why?
[06:32] <Jack_Sparrow> deniz_: you are running usb usr modem?
[06:32] <LifeNomad> whats an easy sure-fire way of securing ssh logins, I have already moved the port to an arbitray # vs. 22
[06:32] <gladier2> tarheelcoxn: you mean PSU??
[06:32] <LifeNomad> psu? penn state?
[06:33] <tritium> LifeNomad: power supply unit
[06:33] <deniz_> Jack_Sparrow, no, i am not, but i want to get an adapter to make it usb bcuz apparently my laptops port for the modem is defective
[06:33] <kelsin> girly2night: wow has worked for me with no setup ever since wine 9.28, so it should be pretty easy esp if you have a windows install to copy from
[06:33] <tarheelcoxn> gladier2: could be that, too
[06:33] <Jack_Sparrow> gladier2: If it smells warm... check fans and psu and the thermal grease between cpu and heat sink
[06:33] <kristjans> another question... does ubuntu use ~/.xinitrc file?
[06:33] <ompaul> !sudo | Cyntek (and the command is not found)
[06:33] <ubotu> Cyntek (and the command is not found): sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[06:33] <corruptionoflulz> LifeNomad: probably either that or portland state
[06:33] <gladier2> tarheelcoxn: pastebin of .xsession errors http://pastebin.com/d7e4d82f1
[06:33] <kelsin> kristjans: if you boot into the console and run "startx" manually it uses .xinitrc
[06:33] <Cyntek> so, sudo alsaconf as root?
[06:33] <LifeNomad> any thoughts on securing ssh?
[06:33] <TheShadowZero> btw, updating java fixed broken azureus
[06:33] <tritium> LifeNomad: it is
[06:33] <kelsin> kristjans: but gdm (the default display manage on default ubuntu) does not
[06:34] <kristjans> thank you kelsin, that what i was aiming for.
[06:34] <ompaul> !sound | Cyntek
[06:34] <Jack_Sparrow> deniz_: Find the modem by going to a terminal and typing dmesg | grep ttyS
[06:34] <soldats> gdm uses menu.lst
[06:34] <ubotu> Cyntek: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[06:34] <kristjans> thats for SLiM, not GDM :)
[06:34] <tritium> soldats: no, you're thinking of /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:34] <kelsin> soldats: grub, the boot manage uses /boot/grub/menu.lst, gdm uses a whole setup of session files
[06:34] <deniz_> Jack_Sparrow, well the modem is not with me, i just wanted to no the port's name
[06:34] <soldats> yea
[06:35] <Nematocyst> TheShadowZero, good deal.  you don't happen to be on 64-bit, do you?
[06:35] <deniz_> Jack_Sparrow, i tried detecting it with gnome-ppp thru each ttys?
[06:35] <Jack_Sparrow> deniz_: cant lnow for sure unless you have it plugged in.
[06:35] <TheShadowZero> Nematocyst, nope
[06:35] <TheShadowZero> 32bit
[06:35] <TheShadowZero> updated from jdk update 1 to update 3
[06:35] <shadeofgrey> anybody here know where to get the first release of the ubuntu liveCD for Hardy Heron?
[06:35] <Jack_Sparrow> deniz_: if usb   use lsusb   or lspci   etc
[06:35] <girly2night> so kelsin what u suggest is just to copy the wow folder from my windows to linux?
[06:36] <deniz_> Jack_Sparrow, its not usb but i want to make it...
[06:36] <kelsin> girly2night: into the right place, which is something like ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/ or something like that yeah
[06:36] <qinjuehang> Anyone knows how to get FlashMX 2004 to work in WINE?
[06:36] <deniz_> Jack_Sparrow, u or sum1 else had told me that b4
[06:36] <Jack_Sparrow> deniz_: better off not trying to use a usb adapter for serial port
[06:36] <kelsin> girly2night: wow uses NO registry entries and no fancy anything outside of it's folder
[06:37] <kelsin> qinjuehang: check the appdb at winehq, I don't think people have had much luck with any of the flashes
[06:37] <soldats> qinjuehang, hmm i wish i knew how ive wanted that for a while
[06:37] <shadeofgrey> also does anybody here have extensive xperience with running ubuntu on the firt gen macbookpro and utilizing two displays -- specifically setting my macbookpro to make my 24" dell widescreen the standard rather than the secondary?
[06:37] <deniz_> Jack_Sparrow, ya but everything seems to point to the fact that my laptops port is defective since it worked on the port of this ~900 mhz old computer
[06:38] <Jack_Sparrow> deniz_: First choice is.... Find the modem by going to a terminal and typing dmesg | grep ttyS  verify serial port enabled in bios
[06:38] <Jack_Sparrow> goodnight people...
[06:38] <gladier2> nite captin
[06:38] <deniz_> Jack_Sparrow, well clearly its pointless now but ill come back later since i c u alot
[06:38] <JohnMM> what's the command to reconfigure xorg?
[06:38] <Jack_Sparrow> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:38] <JohnMM> thanks
[06:39] <Jack_Sparrow> goodnight..
[06:39] <Learning-Ubuntu> Is there an ACDsee equivalent I can use in Ubuntu ?
[06:39] <JohnMM> goodnight
[06:40] <DivideZer> what in linux is like ADOBE FLASH CS3 PRO ?
[06:40] <Jack_Sparrow> Learning-Ubuntu: I actually.. (gag me) run fastsone  freeware  under wine
[06:40] <gladier2> DivideZer: crap ... CS2 works tho
[06:40] <Jack_Sparrow> !gimp
[06:40] <ubotu> gimp is an advanced image manipulation application for Ubuntu. See http://www.gimp.org for tutorials and more information.
[06:40] <DivideZer> gladier2 ,ok like cs 2  but with what in linux i can create flash ?
[06:40] <qinjuehang> Divider, try Open-office Impress (or something like that)
[06:41] <kelsin> DivideZer: there aren't any great 2d animation programs yet. KToon and Synfig are promision though :-(
[06:41] <Learning-Ubuntu> Jack_Sparrow, Thank yuo just wanted to know if something like acdsee picases wa sin repos :)
[06:41] <kelsin> DivideZer: there are some programming libraries to create swfs, but nothing like flash
[06:41] <DivideZer> :(((((((((((((((((
[06:41] <RyanT5001> how do i get the mail command to work? i'm trying to send out some emails using scripts, but they just vanish
[06:41] <gladier2> DivideZer: i dont do graphics work so i cant help
[06:41] <Amaranth> DivideZer: you may be able to use it in WINE
[06:41] <RyanT5001> i'm not sure if i'm getting spam filtered or if it's just not sending in the first place
[06:42] <qinjuehang> Divide, OpenLaszlo will work too
[06:42] <DivideZer> yes i will try wine
[06:42] <gladier2> Amaranth: CS3 doesnt work in wine yet, however CS2 does
[06:42] <kelsin> RyanT5001: if you have exim installed (which is default I think) check /var/log/exim4/mainlog
[06:42] <JJtech> Paddy_EIRE: im back.. WINE seems okay with notepad.. but when i tried other applications, wine window opens up then closes.. howcome?
[06:42] <qinjuehang> I had no success running Flash on wine, maybe you will...
[06:42] <Peddy> is anyone having a problem in the game Sauerbraten where there are only 3 servers avaliable (yet on XP there are many)??
[06:42] <JJtech> !wine
[06:42] <ubotu> WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.
[06:43] <corruptionoflulz> hey, i want to back up my entire home folder to dvd (all my programs and settings and such), should i just copy everything but /media and then i'll be good?
[06:43] <RyanT5001> kelsin: i don't have any such log directory; maybe I just need to install exim?
[06:43] <qinjuehang> JJtech what applications did you test?
[06:43] <JJtech> Paddy_EIRE: Yahoo messenger.,,
[06:43] <RyanT5001> kelsin: i'm clueless about this stuff; i've never set up any smtp-related anything before
[06:43] <JJtech> qinjuehang: yahoo messenger
[06:43] <kelsin> RyanT5001: try "man sendmail" and see if that reveals what stmp program you have installed
[06:44] <JJtech> qinjuehang: i will try another
[06:44] <Jack_Sparrow> JJtech: turn off effects
[06:44] <JJtech> Jack_Sparrow: ??? effects on what??
[06:44] <Jack_Sparrow> compix desktop effects
[06:44] <Nematocyst> compiz and wine aren't always friendly
[06:44] <Jack_Sparrow> compiz
[06:45] <RyanT5001> kelsin: no entry for sendmail.  the only mail-related package i've installed manually (over Gutsy) is mailx to get the "mail" command
[06:45] <corruptionoflulz> canonical really shouldn't have turned compiz on by defaults.
[06:45] <AddyK> Um, who was Filesender?
[06:45] <qinjuehang> JJtech: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=7401&iTestingId=15981 Yahoo messenger does not work anyway
[06:45] <JJtech> Jack_Sparrow: ok.. i will try going back to metacity.. is this okey?? then i use wine..
[06:45] <kelsin> RyanT5001: you can also check /var/log/mail.log
[06:46] <corruptionoflulz> qinjuehang: can't you just use pidgin instead?

[06:50] <RyanT5001> bah, putting a real email in here was probably a bad idea, given spam spidering these logs
[06:51] <JJtech> guys, i accidentally delete the bottom panel.. how to restore it??
[06:51] <Saelynh> hi
[06:51] <Nematocyst> qinjuehang, the appdb for flashmx 2004 isn't encouraging.  see: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=2294&iTestingId=4369
[06:51] <Dr_willis><EMAIL_ADDRESS>? :)
[06:51] <Jaszbo> !wifi
[06:51] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[06:51] <kelsin> RyanT5001: and then go through the rest of the config, there is a lto of explanation in the dpkg program and google for the rest cause I don't know what would be perfect for you
[06:51] <Saelynh> anyone know an app for optimise size picture ?
[06:51] <JJtech> guys, i accidentally delete the bottom panel.. how to restore it??
[06:51] <Saelynh> there is a thing like that in photoshop
[06:51] <dolphin_noel> Saelynh gimp
[06:51] <Saelynh> but gimp does not do that
[06:51] <Saelynh> :(
[06:52] <kelsin> RyanT5001: but then exim should be setup to deliver to whatever smtp server you need it to, or if you want to fully send email from your computer you should select the first option and configure it from there :) but at that point def should start looking at other tutorials on setting up exim for ubuntu
[06:52] <dolphin_noel> Saelynh yes it does
[06:52] <RyanT5001> kelsin: ah, ok, thanks
[06:52] <dolphin_noel> Saelynh ok wait
[06:52] <Saelynh> dolphin_noel: where ?
[06:52] <RyanT5001> kelsin: yeah, now that i know exim is the key, i should be able to find tutorials; thanks a ton
[06:52] <kelsin> RyanT5001: yep, by default it doesn't send email out :)
[06:52] <JJtech> guys, i accidentally delete the bottom panel.. how to restore it??
[06:52] <mohkohn> Hi just put an ubuntu cd into qemu and my world went grey.
[06:53] <Saelynh> I try to set my picture in indexed colors, this kind of thing, but my image is still to heavy
[06:53] <mohkohn> I had to do a hard reboot to get out.
[06:53] <mohkohn> Any idea why that might have happened.
[06:53] <kelsin> JJtech: right click on top panel and select "New Panel"
[06:53] <dolphin_noel> Saelynh open the image and the go to (image) and the click in (scale image)
[06:53] <qinjuehang> mohkohn: Did you try VirtualBox? Maybe something happened to your xorg
[06:54] <Saelynh> I dont want to resize it :o
[06:54] <JJtech> JJtech: thanks.. i see it now.. ^_^
[06:54] <mohkohn> is virtual box in etch?
[06:54] <JJtech> kelsin: thanks
[06:54] <dolphin_noel> Saelynh so what you try to do?
[06:55] <kristjans> once again, a question. should "#!/bin/sh" in a script be replaced with "#!/usr/bin/env bash" for ubuntu?
[06:55] <Dr_willis> kristjans,  ive never heard that suggetion befor
[06:55] <Saelynh> I try to have  with a small weght :d
[06:55] <Saelynh> an image *
[06:55] <Dr_willis> kristjans,  the default 'sh' in ubuntu is 'dash' so if you are using Bash features - then you SHOULD be using #!/bin/bash or similer.
[06:55] <kelsin> kristjans: fully up to you, sh follows posix standards and doesn't allow for extra bash stuff, using /usr/bin/env bash is more likely to run on more systems in case bash is not in /usr/bin
[06:56] <mohkohn> I am burning an ubuntu alternate install cd from a debian etch machine.
[06:56] <Saelynh> from 100ko I would like to have 50ko or less
[06:56] <dolphin_noel> Saelynh ohhh you can resize the image to lower the size and you can allways to when you go to (save ho) you can chose image quality ... and have theere more options
[06:56] <Dr_willis> what if env -> /usr/bin/env is not in /usr/bin  ?  :)
[06:56] <mohkohn> but the last question would be better on #debian so away I go.
[06:57] <dolphin_noel> Saelynh (save as)
[06:57] <kristjans> btw, i've never heard it either ;) found it in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomXSession for the first line
[06:57] <mohkohn> md5sum: ubuntu-7.10-alternate-i386.iso: Input/output error
[06:58] <Saelynh> the "image quality" is only avalible for jpg exention
[06:58] <mohkohn> that is on the burned cd. sounds like I need to burn again.
[06:58] <kelsin> kristjans: if you're only using this script on ubuntu systems then it doesn't matter, if you want it to be "more" portable (depending on definition fo portable) /usr/bin/env might help, it probably doesn't make much difference
[06:59] <kelsin> Saelynh: what are you trying to save as?
[06:59] <tritium> Saelynh: that's because it's a lossy format.  You get to choose how much information to throw away.
[06:59] <kristjans> okay, it will be for ubuntu based system. thank you for all the replies! :)
[06:59] <dolphin_noel> Saelynh you go there more options then that like in png the compression
[07:01] <Nergar> nevermind, i got it working
[07:02] <ramza3> I am using record my desktop for video capture; this works and outputs different formats (ogg?) I want to be able to add a ogg music file to this video; anybody know how to do this
[07:02] <ramza3> I tried the jackd server but that didnt do anythign
[07:05] <Cypher100> Hi
[07:05] <Cypher100> :)
[07:05] <munk_> im trying to install ubuntu in my computer but it wont see my partitions already made and i REALLY dont want to delete them cuz i need stuff off them....H?ELPPP
[07:06] <Rumpsteak> ; /me waves!
[07:06] <tritium> munk_: choose the manual partioning option
[07:06] <munk_> tritium i did and it doesnt see my partitions..
[07:07] <munk_> :(
[07:07] <tritium> munk_: that doesn't make sense, unless you didn't create them right
[07:08] <mihai_> What plugin should I use for Firefox in order to have most of the sound formats work?
[07:08] <Jan-Rippl> Hi Ubuntu People
[07:08] <_6StringKng_> hi
[07:08] <Jan-Rippl> :)
[07:08] <Jan-Rippl> I living in Czech Republic
[07:08] <_6StringKng_> get ubuntu restricted extras through add/remove
[07:08] <_6StringKng_> mihai
[07:09] <_6StringKng_> but you have to change "show" to All available applications
[07:09] <mihai_> ok
[07:09]  * JJtech be right back..
[07:09] <Jan-Rippl> You can listen my ubuntu radio http://mokriny.cz:8000/listen.ogg
[07:09] <Smegzor> How do I remove entries from the applications menu.  I have removed Wine (temporarily) but it always leaves all of its menus behind.
[07:10] <labinns1> Has any body found out yet how to print to PDF from any application in Gutsy that can be read by adobe?
[07:10] <dns53> the cups-pdf should be in by default, you can just print
[07:10] <mihai_> _6StringKng_: What exactly is the name of the package?
[07:10] <kelsin> labinns1: "Print to PDF" is an option for my in any print dialog by default
[07:11] <_6StringKng_> ubuntu-restricted-extras I think
[07:11] <_6StringKng_> I'll check
[07:11] <mihai_> ok
[07:11] <_6StringKng_> Ubuntu restricted extras
[07:11] <labinns1> kelsin, dns53,: Yes, It does not produce a document that can be read by Adove
[07:11] <_6StringKng_> you did change it to show all available applications correct?
[07:11] <isi> gibt es nen deutschen ubuntu channel?? wenn ja wie komm ich da hin
[07:12] <kelsin> labinns1: what does the adobe program say? I've never had a problem
[07:12] <mihai_> _6StringKing_ : Yes
[07:13] <labinns1> kelsin, dns53,: it does not recognise the script or some such thing.
[07:13] <kelsin> labinns1: I would double check that you're using fonts that are available on windows. by default it probably doesn't embed fonts (and I don't know how to make it) so make sure you're using Times new Roman or other windows base fonts
[07:13] <_6StringKng_> k, search for the package and install it then
[07:13] <kelsin> labinns1: does it give you that error? or does it just not look right?
[07:13] <munk_> tritium i created them right i have gentoo on them right now and it works properly but i wanna switch to ubuntu and the installer doesnt see the partitions...the reason i dont want to delete them is cuz i have a windows partition too that i need...
[07:13] <mihai_> Ok, I found it
[07:14] <labinns1> kelsin, But I don't determine the font for applications like Firefox
[07:14] <tritium> munk_: you're sure you're using the _manual_ installer?
[07:14] <tritium> partioner, rather?
[07:15] <kelsin> labinns1: like I already asked, does adobe give you an actually error? If so what is it?
[07:15] <munk_> tritium u mean whenever it gets to the partitioning of the hard drive to go on manual..right? ive done it before on my laptop and it worked and now it just sees the hdd but no partitions
[07:16] <tritium> munk_: yes, that
[07:16] <labinns1> kelsin, I am in Ubuntu at the moment and I don't remember the exact error, but it says something like it is unable to open the file because it does not recognise the script.
[07:17] <munk_> tritium and if i click on new parttyition table it uses the space as if the hdd is emp
[07:17] <munk_> *empty
[07:17] <tritium> munk_: strange
[07:18] <munk_> tritium i know but i really hope theres a way to go around it..
[07:18] <tritium> munk_: must be something unique to your setup there
[07:18] <munk_> tritium :(( these things always happen to me...honestly everysingle time..
[07:19] <tritium> sorry, munk_
[07:19] <munk_> tritium its ok thank you tho...
[07:19] <gRnt> Hi everyone I've got a slightly newbish question :)
[07:19] <gRnt> I've installed my first ever linux distro today (ubuntu) vut given I didn't have a machine I am running it through VMWare.
[07:20] <gRnt> All afternoon all ive been able to manage to do is update my sources.list to my local ISP's, I then decided to try out running an ap to see if it worked
[07:20] <gRnt> so I went to install xhat
[07:20] <gRnt> xchat**
[07:20] <dns53> labinns1: ok i have tested the cups-pdf driver, it will output a pdf to your ~/PDF/ directory
[07:21] <gRnt> when I run it I get the error "(xchat:4228): Gtk-warning **: cannot open display:
[07:21] <gRnt> is that a vmware issue because the app is gui based or did I stuff something up?
[07:21] <dns53> it is gui based
[07:22] <astro76> gRnt, xchat runs though?
[07:22] <munk_> im trying to install ubuntu in my computer but it wont see my partitions already made and i REALLY dont want to delete them cuz i need stuff off them....H?ELPPP
[07:22] <gRnt> well I dont know as soon as I type in xchat it throws that error
[07:22] <gRnt> when I typed sudo apt-get install xchat it installed
[07:22] <gRnt> so I assume it would run but I heard you cant run any gui based apps in vmware..
[07:22] <Jan-Rippl> I love icecast2
[07:22] <Jan-Rippl> :-D
[07:22] <althepcman> gRnt: setting in vmware
[07:23] <gRnt> ill have a look now thanks
[07:23] <gRnt> btw as hard as linux is
[07:23] <gRnt> i love it already
[07:23] <dns53> how are you running it, if you run it in a terminal the DISPLAY veriable that tells the application where the screen is can get messed up, run it through the menu or another terminal
[07:23] <labinns1> dns53, The problem is this document cannot be read by adobe. In fact nothing goes to my PDF directory unless I select print to file
[07:24] <kelsin> selecting print to file makes it print the postscript that would be sent to the pdf driver to a file, that's going to be strait postscript and not work in adobe
[07:24] <gRnt> dns53 if by terminal you mean the screen you click on to do everything then yes
[07:24] <kelsin> labinns1: when I selected the CUPS-PDF printer in firefox and hit ok, a file appeared in the PDF directory in my home directory
[07:24] <kelsin> labinns1: and as soon as my gf finishes her wow boss I'll see if it opens on her windows laptop
[07:25] <Weng> Alright. Running Feisty, rebuilt with a custom kernel and, for the life of me, I can't get the nVidia drivers installed.
[07:25] <gRnt> althepcman would you happen to know where said setting is, thats also a good point it wont work without vid drivers will it?
[07:26] <astro76> gRnt, are you running a graphical desktop? what did you install?
[07:26] <dns53> Weng: same kernel version? you should be able to build the restricted package from source if you made a deb of the kernel
[07:26] <labinns1> kelsin:  Nothing goes to my PDF directory unless I use print to file.
[07:26] <kelsin> labinns1: so when you goto print in firefox, select the pdf printer and DON'T check the print to file box, and hit ok that nothing appears in the PDF folder in your homd directory?
[07:26] <Weng> dns: Newer kernel.
[07:26] <Weng> dns53: Newer kernel
[07:26] <gRnt> I am running ubuntu Gusty Gibbon in VMWare Workstation 5.5.4 (the ubuntu release is server and 32bit)
[07:26] <labinns1> kelsin: That is correct
[07:27] <kelsin> labinns1: just to be totally clear, after you do that and hit ok, then go to "Places" then "Home Folder" then double click on "PDF" you don't have any pdfs there?
[07:27] <JonathanPM> Hey Hey Hey
[07:27] <Weng> Envy bombs out while building the driver, too.
[07:27] <Weng> And I *think* I know why.
[07:27] <JonathanPM> evil whit death
[07:27] <dns53> weng: ok things get harder, you will need to download the restricted modules source, mess with the dependnecy of those packages so they depend on your new version. possible but a bit harder
[07:27] <astro76> gRnt, you of course need to be running X to run gui programs, otherwise there is no display, yes
[07:28] <xzased> hiya all
[07:28] <labinns1> kelsin: Only files that were created prior to my upgrade to Gutsy
[07:28] <astro76> gRnt, not sure why you used server instead of desktop then, but you can install ubuntu-desktop package if you want
[07:28] <xzased> how can I see the source of a program?
[07:28] <dns53> dns53: perhaps you could try module-assistant or the nvidia shell script
[07:28] <JonathanPM> I hate snow
[07:28] <gRnt> astro76 was just recommened by friends to run server so I did. what do you mean I will need to be running X to run gui programs?
[07:29] <kelsin> labinns1: then yeah, something is messed up with your cups-pdf driver and that's definitely above my leve of understanding. But adobe shouldn't be able to read "print-to-file" output, that makes sense cause it's not a pdf, it's the postscript fed to the cups-pdf driver.
[07:29] <Jan-Rippl> for your xmms: http://mokriny.cz:8000/listen.ogg
[07:29] <munk_> why doesnt ubuntu see my partitions? i tried to scan with gparted and it says that all the space is unallocated but i know i have partitions on it?
[07:29] <Weng> dns53: Now that I really think about it, the best course is probably going to be to go build the drivers by hand and hack the makefile's "check to make sure this goon actually has an nVidia card" to recognize my one-off video chip's dev id
[07:30] <labinns1> kelsin: Thanks for trying
[07:30] <Flannel> munk_: What sort of partitions are they?
[07:30] <JonathanPM> I have the same problem I cant get ubuntu to see my secondary hdd
[07:30] <dns53> munk_: you must have installed them under lvm the logical volume manager
[07:30] <munk_> dns53 i believe so if i remember correctly and is there anyway to go around that?
[07:30] <munk_> Flannel, ext3 and ntfs
[07:31] <kelsin> labinns1: when you print a systray icon should have appeared, when you click on it are any jobs sitting there "stuck"?
[07:31] <munk_> dns53, but the one that is important is an ntfs...
[07:31] <Weng> (Why HP couldn't just give me a GeForce 4 MX 440 that said GeForce 4 MX 440 on it instead of giving me a GeForce4 MX 440 that says GeForce4 Go 440 on it and has a different device ID is absolutely beyond me)
[07:31] <dns53> gparted does not recognise a lvm partition, there is a tool for fedora not sure about how to do it under ubuntu
[07:32] <xzased> hey, while you are in the driver stuff. Any recommendations on documentation to build a driver?
[07:32]  * JonathanPM looks outside at the 6 degree weather and the falling snow and shivers
[07:32] <Flannel> munk_: And if you boot to windows you see your partitions?
[07:32] <gRnt> althepcman are you able to show me where that vmware option is
[07:32] <xzased> woops. I mean, about how to build a driver
[07:32] <labinns1> kelsin: There status is held. When I try to release them the status temporarily changes to Processing and then reverts to Held but the job disappears after my 4th attempt
[07:33] <munk_> Flannel, yes i do...
[07:34] <z9999> We have ubuntu 6.06 installed on a notebook, and would like to give 7.04 a try. As we have spent over a year getting most things to work, we would like to keep 6.06 and make a dual boot install using 7.04, but we would like to be able to access the existing home directories when booting to either version. Has anyone done this previously and is able to give some details as to the procedure?
[07:34] <Flannel> munk_: Try another linux liveCD, another version of ubuntu, knoppix, whatever.
[07:34] <kelsin> any messages anywhere, or in properties for the jobs to say why they are held? Any errors in ~/.xsession-errors dealing with cups or pdf?
[07:34] <rgnr> hello every1!
[07:34] <munk_> Flannel but how can i put ubuntu after that?
[07:35] <rgnr> ubuntu rulezzz!
[07:35] <Flannel> z9999: You'll need to make /home/ its own partition (not difficult), and then just share that.  You could run into configuration version issues though (versions for stuff in dapper vs gutsy have different config options/fomratms whatever)
[07:35] <Flannel> munk_: Just trying to see what other things can see those partitions.
[07:35] <astro76> z9999, just make new partitions for 7.04 (you can use the same swap partition) and install, during the partitioning section of the install, you can specify the mount points of the other systems partitions (e.g. /media/dapper or whatever)
[07:35] <munk_> Flannel ok ill try thanks
[07:35] <OldakQuill> OK, very stupid question - where is the best place to install programs to?
[07:36] <ramza3> what are you guys using to convert ogg to mp3.  I was thinking about ffmpeg, but cant seem to find a command to do it
[07:36] <astro76> z9999, and from your rational for keeping the other system, you definitely do NOT want to share /home to be safe
[07:36] <Nematocyst> munk_, does 'fdisk' see them?  (fdisk <device>, then 'p' to display the partition table)
[07:36] <kelsin> OldakQuill: you mean programs that you can't install with synaptic/aptitude/apt-get?
[07:36] <MatthewV> z9999, if you just wanted to try 7.04 / 7.10, you could just use the live cd :)
[07:36] <Flannel> z9999: Or you can have a separate install entirely, and you just mount the old home to access stuff, yeah.  like astro76 said.
[07:36] <OldakQuill> kelsin: Yes
[07:36] <OldakQuill> And just a convenient common place for things like jar
[07:37] <kelsin> most times java apps (and other apps that have everything theyh need in one folder) get placed in /opt
[07:37] <gRnt> Does anyone know why I am getting the error (xchat:7933): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: when I try and run xchat (an IRC client). I have already installed the nvidia drivers using sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic. I am using vmware though...
[07:37] <kelsin> and normal autotools apps and other unix programs that follow filesystem guidelines are good to put in /usr/local to keep them separate from ubuntu packages
[07:37] <OldakQuill> Thank you very much
[07:37] <OldakQuill> Where does wget download to?
[07:37] <astro76> gRnt, because you are running ubuntu server with no x installed
[07:37] <astro76> gRnt, install ubuntu-desktop
[07:37] <Flannel> OldakQuill: working directory
[07:37] <kelsin> ramza3: just as a note, you're not going to get good quality going from ogg -> mp3
[07:37] <dns53> gRnt logout/login
[07:38] <labinns1> kelsin: Trying to have a look at the properties now, but I have not received any error messages
[07:38] <OldakQuill> Ok, thanks
[07:38] <gRnt> dns53 I havent had to do that yet how do I log out heh. save restarting the os ofcourse
[07:38] <simplechat> OldakQuill, current directory (.)
[07:38] <gRnt> astro76 what do you mean I have no x installed?
[07:38] <astro76> !xorg
[07:38] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[07:38] <OldakQuill> Ok, that was a dumb question, but thanks for answering
[07:39] <Nematocyst> gRnt, or perhaps you have installed X (probably as a dependency for xchat), but you aren't running X
[07:39] <Omlette> Hey, dumb questions are good too.
[07:39] <newbdude> my comp teacher told us that there are patches 'out there' to boost the recieving strength of usb wifi adapters. i think this is mumbo-gumbo, but is he right, i googled and yahooed but found nothing. can anyone point me to some good reading
[07:39] <h1st0> gRnt: Do you have a GUI or is your vmware system just console based?
[07:39] <simplechat> OldakQuill, thats what were here for :)
[07:39] <ramza3> kelsin, i have an input program that only supports mp3
[07:39] <dns53> gRnt: the problem is you do not have all the shell environment variables setup, a logout/login or running bash to create a sub shell may work
[07:39] <kelsin> labinns1: I would start poking around at http://localhost:631 and trying to figure out why the pdf driver is "broken"
[07:40] <h1st0> newbdude: maybe firmware upgrades or something.  I've even seen firmware that lets some cards run in AP mode.
[07:40] <labinns1> kelsin: Nothing in properties, printer status is ready
[07:40] <astro76> dns53, he has installed ubuntu server, there is no x.org
[07:40] <kelsin> ramza3: I'm not saying you shouldn't be trying to get mp3's as an end result, but if you can encode the mp3s from flacs, or original data that's the better option
[07:40] <h1st0> dns53: xchat will only run in X
[07:40] <gRnt> wow okay to everyone that replied this is my first install so most of this is going over my head from what I understand I need to download and isntall a gui in order to run xchat as I currently only have a console..
[07:40] <[cd]> Hi
[07:40] <h1st0> gRnt: yes or you can use a console based irc client such as irssi
[07:41] <kelsin> gRnt run "sudo apt-get ubuntu-desktop" then reboot the vm
[07:41] <h1st0> [cd]: hi
[07:41] <gRnt> sudo apt-get install irssi?
[07:41] <Flannel> gRnt: yes
[07:41] <[cd]> Could anyone tell me what the pkg/program that is used in Gutsy for wireless (wifi)?
[07:41] <h1st0> gRnt: yeap
[07:41] <gRnt> YAY im learning..
[07:41] <astro76> gRnt, do you want a command-line only server, or a desktop system? if the latter, you might want to install regular Ubuntu in the first place, or as I said now you could install the ubuntu-desktop package from the server install
[07:41] <labinns1> kelsin: Thanks for that link, I will have a look.
[07:41] <gRnt> its taken me all arvo to set up my sources.list for my isp
[07:41] <kelsin> labinns1: that's the localhost link to the cups admin panel on your computer
[07:41] <dns53> come to think of it, there is a no-gui option for xchat, irssi
[07:41] <gRnt> linux is a steep learning curb lol
[07:41] <newbdude> h1st0: my comp teacher told us that there are patches 'out there' to boost the recieving strength of usb wifi adapters. i think this is mumbo-gumbo, but is he right, i googled and yahooed but found nothing. can anyone point me to some good reading
[07:41] <h1st0> gRnt: well console is yes.
[07:42] <h1st0> newbdude: they would be patched drivers or firmware upgrades.
[07:42] <kelsin> gRnt: if you were handed a windows install cd, a blank computer and had no prior windows knowledge it would be a pretty steep curve as well
[07:42] <[cd]> anyone here is using gutsy?
[07:42] <gRnt> true kelsin...I only went with server because everyone I know with linux said using a gui defeats the purpose of using linux..
[07:42] <gRnt> :(
[07:42] <h1st0> newbdude: search for patched drivers or have a look at the aircrack-ng.org site they have some documentation on altered drviers for packet injection etc...  That may be a good start.
[07:42] <zetheroo> how do you install VMware player from source?.... I downloaded the .tar.gz file and extracted it to my Desktop.... what now?
[07:43] <kelsin> gRnt: I would just install the full ubuntu desktop, esp if you want to learn
[07:43] <h1st0> newbdude: I don't know how exactly you'd boost a physical limitation unless the manufacturer is turning it down though.
[07:43] <rgnr> so.. who's the main helping hand around?
[07:43] <[cd]> Zeth usually ./configure | make | make install
[07:43] <astro76> gRnt, hehe, well defeats the purpose of running it as a server... but if it's intended as a desktop...
[07:43] <dns53> you can get a long way with screen and irssi
[07:43] <rgnr> where do i have to install java ?
[07:43] <h1st0> gRnt: well thats not necessarily true.
[07:43] <h1st0> gRnt: Once you get more experienced you will see what they mean.
[07:43] <[cd]> Anyone here is using gutsy?
[07:43] <astro76> gRnt, they said that because graphical desktop introduces security risks unnecessary in a server
[07:44] <[cd]> or gusty*
[07:44] <h1st0> [cd]: yes
[07:44] <[cd]> could the one who is using it , tell me what is the program used in it for wifi/wireless as i really need it ;)
[07:44] <gRnt> okay so irssi works mine
[07:44] <gRnt> except one thing
[07:44] <gRnt> how do you exit it
[07:44] <gRnt> hah
[07:44] <h1st0> gRnt: On my laptop I boot to cli and only use X when I need it.  I have a core gui set up.
[07:44] <newbdude> h1st0: thanks, i will look where you suggested, i know it prob not put out by the manuf. cause teach said that he couldnt telll us where to obtain them
[07:44] <munk_> Nematocyst, no im on the live cd it doesnt see it...i just tried with feisty too and same thing..
[07:44] <h1st0> gRnt: /exit
[07:44] <gRnt> pfft
[07:44] <gRnt> thats too easy!
[07:45] <dns53> install sun-java6-jre or icedtea-java7-jre
[07:45] <gRnt> I was expect ctrl + weird key combo or something
[07:45] <h1st0> gRnt: you can also /help  in there will give you a whole bunch of inof.  Or /help server   etc....
[07:45] <zetheroo> [cd]: yeah I know that is the usual way.. but all that is in here is a file called vmware-install.pl
[07:45] <rgnr> help pls!
[07:45] <h1st0> [cd]: what do you mean exactly?  What are you trying to do?
[07:46] <[cd]> try ./vmware-install.p1 or somethings
[07:46] <[cd]> i cant update to gutsy (bandwidth limited) , so i decided to install wireless stuff into this ubuntu without needing to update it
[07:47] <dns53> rgnr like i said, you can install sun's vm sun-java5-jre sun-java6-jre or the open source icedtea-java7-jre
[07:47] <[cd]> i tried ubuntu gutsy on my bro laptop which works perfect but i dont know where he put the cd
[07:47] <h1st0> [cd]: What wireless stuff are you looking for?
[07:47] <movaxes> sorry about this: Me and a friend found a illegal dvd, etc pre-teen por web site but since I don't live in USA probably won't help to call the goverment here, any help? (sorry for the off topic but sometimes one have to do what one have to do)
[07:47] <_6StringKng_> any suggestions on getting my internal modem in my laptop to work with ubuntu 7.10?
[07:47] <Nematocyst> munk_, well then i would try 'fdisk -l' to see that you are looking at the correct device
[07:47] <h1st0> movaxes: contact the FBI if for the US
[07:48] <[cd]> GUI wireless configure (usually some kind of restreicted driver and program that lets you scan all wireless and you pick the one you like to connected too (without using shell)
[07:48] <astro76> movaxes, that's a local law enforcement issue
[07:48] <movaxes> I don't live in the USA
[07:48] <movaxes> a web site?
[07:48] <movaxes> ok
[07:48] <kelsin> labinns1: you could also try "sudo aptitude install cups-pdf" again or "sudo dpkg-reconfigure cups-pdf" to see if that helsp
[07:48] <h1st0> movaxes: Well then you'd have to contact your local law enforcement
[07:48] <rgnr> any1 help please
[07:48] <_6StringKng_> whats happening?
[07:49] <h1st0> [cd]: ahh I believe thats just the new network-manager applet
[07:49] <dmb> hey, can anyone help me figure out why video in totem is blue for me?
[07:49] <zetheroo> does anyone know how to install VMware player from source?
[07:49] <dmb> any ogg/avi/mpeg all has a tint of blue
[07:49] <[cd]> i guess , could you tell me its  name please? :D (i really really need it)
[07:49] <[cd]> Zeth , the one you told us isnt from source
[07:49] <h1st0> zetheroo: I dont' really play with vmware I use virtualbox  but anyhoot there is good documentation on installing from source at help.ubuntu.com
[07:50] <h1st0> [cd]: network-manager
[07:50] <Slackwise> I have a program that is linking to the wrong set of libraries... anyone know a way to change a single applications linking?
[07:50] <movaxes> ok I'll try, sorry
[07:50] <[cd]> ok , i hope there is .deb or source code for it
[07:50] <rgnr> any1 sees me ?
[07:50] <[cd]> Zeth use this to install it ./vmware-install.pl
[07:50] <kelsin> dmb: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+question/7373 that might help
[07:50] <h1st0> [cd]: Its already installed in feisty you'd have to upgrade the package to the gutsy version.  I wouldn't really recomend that.
[07:50] <h1st0> rgnr: no
[07:50] <dns53> Slackwise: you could always try using system links to point to the correct location
[07:51] <[cd]> h1st0 the problem i am on 56k (modem) thats why i cant
[07:51] <Slackwise> dns53: You mean soft/hard links?
[07:51] <dns53> Slackwise: yes, soft links should work
[07:51] <h1st0> [cd]: No I'm saying you would have to upgrade that package and a few others to the gutsy version is that what you are trying to accomplish?
[07:51] <munk_> Nematocyst, it doesnt show me anything:(
[07:52] <h1st0> [cd]: also you can order ubuntu cds for free on their site.  The Ship it program.
[07:52] <[cd]> Well no , but i am trying to makes me wireless working with me
[07:52] <Slackwise> dns53: I'm fairly sure they wont... when a binary is executed, it checks the dynamic library cache for the location of a symbol for functions it needs...
[07:52] <[cd]> i know about that and i also know how long it will takes to arive ;)
[07:52] <h1st0> [cd]: So you need an app that will scan for APs and allow connetion easier.  hold up.
[07:52] <[cd]> yeah :D
[07:52] <johnnybezak> hey guys i've discovered theres a problem with my wireless driver, but i'm not sure what it is. how do i find out about what my wireless hardware/driver is
[07:52] <h1st0> [cd]: wifi radar?
[07:53] <[cd]> i would test it , thanks for your help
[07:53] <h1st0> [cd]: http://wifi-radar.systemimager.org/
[07:53] <dns53> Slackwise: worth a try, if the problem is a newer version is installed it will work, if you have an older version than you need it will break
[07:53] <gaYloVerZ> wot?
[07:53] <[cd]> the link is ever better (thx again) :)
[07:53] <agenthex> anyone managed to get Xen working with an Intel C2D?
[07:53] <h1st0> [cd]: sudo apt-get install wifi-radar
[07:53] <kelsin> johnnybezak: "lspci" in a term should list a bunch of hardware, should be able to find your wireless card there
[07:53] <h1st0> [cd]: it should be int he repos
[07:53] <[cd]> no need - emerge wifi-rader xD
[07:54] <Slackwise> dns53: I'm fairly certain I will break my entire system by linking to a different version of glibc :P
[07:54] <dmb> kelsin: that worked, again, another problem with proprietary only drivers :(
[07:54] <h1st0> [cd]: well maybe you should ask the gentoo people.
[07:54] <dmb> thanks though
[07:54] <[cd]> No , i am trying to install deb/gentoo/fedora  app mangers into one distro
[07:54] <[cd]> many people saying its a bad idea ,but i will see :)
[07:55] <h1st0> It is a bad idea because they aren't aware of each other
[07:55] <kelsin> [cd]: and files will clobber each other constantly, and you will just end up with a ton of incompatible binaries
[07:55] <[cd]> i would have to edit few thing , to makes this works with me but till that i am sure everythings would move smooth
[07:55] <kelsin> [cd]: not when all three try to install their own version of glibc on top of each other
[07:56] <rgnr> ыва
[07:56] <[cd]> no need , i will take care off it (by install it from source)
[07:56] <[cd]> so gentoo emerge will comes here , and other pkgs i will get it from other mangers
[07:57] <xTheGoat121x> evening
[07:57] <ankur> how i use proxychains in ubuntu?
[07:57] <LoneShadow> !livecd
[07:57] <ubotu> The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option.
[07:57] <h1st0> [cd]: its in the repos I don't know why you'd even bother messing with it.  Or why you'd even bother with allthe differenct package mangers.
[07:57] <evfan42> I need help installing with a dual boot
[07:57] <LoneShadow> !customlivecd
[07:57] <ubotu> Creating custom Live CDs is explained on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[07:57] <h1st0> [cd]: since you aren't really gaining anything from it.
[07:57] <kelsin> then you break dependecies, so then to install a deb you have to tell dpkg to ignore the fact that it can't find glibc, then you run into two problems 1) you're losing the main beneifit of the whole apt system and 2) the binary debian packages will be built on other glibc versions -> hence broken system
[07:57] <h1st0> !botabuse > LoneShadow (Please see the private message from ubotu)
[07:58] <nitrix> im looking for a method to setup an easy\light HTTPD on ubuntu.
[07:58] <LoneShadow> h1st0: thanks :)
[07:58] <[cd]> Eww , i never though about it
[07:58] <ankur> any one have idea
[07:58] <ankur> ?
[07:59] <evfan42> I get a root error when trying to install 7.10 into a different partition
[07:59]  * [cd] is officaly ended his project
[07:59] <h1st0> nitrix: there are tones of light httpd out there.
[07:59] <usser> moving files to trash works very slow, and theres bunch of errors in dmesg regarding cifs
[07:59] <Weng> Well. I found why the nVidia driver wasn't building.
[07:59] <xTheGoat121x> There seems to be something going on with my ACPI that is causing my fan to run alot...
[07:59] <Weng> I accidentally turned off the System V memory sharing module when I rebuilt the damned kernel.
[07:59] <ankur> how i use proxychains in ubuntu?
[07:59] <Weng> Which, apparently, it needs.
[07:59] <ankur> any one have idea?
[08:00] <z9999> Flannel - astro76: OK, you've presented me with some additional questions.
[08:00] <kelsin> [cd]: you're better off learning how to package things (ebuilds or debs) for whichever system you like better and just making packages for the few things either ubuntu or gentoo don't have that you want
[08:00] <z9999> We would like to keep 6.06 installed as is until we can confirm that a newer version either eliminates previous hardware problems, wireless which now works fine, and audio which we still are having problems with.
[08:00] <z9999> We also wish to keep our personal files intact and safe, allowing them to be accessed from either OS boot.
[08:00] <z9999> I hadn't thought about differences in config files, but we have some very important files that need to be available for access while testing a new OS version.
[08:00] <z9999> Currently we are trying to figure out how to make a new partition without losing any important files. We've never used parted and leery of doing anything without first understanding how it works.
[08:00]  * Weng <3 ancient mainframe memory models in his modern GPU drivers
[08:00] <kelsin> z9999: if you do need to resize / make new partitions I recommend downloading the gparted live cd and using that
[08:01] <[cd]> well , i will on the leecher side then (the main goal to use all mangers) xD
[08:01] <kelsin> z9999: it's a gui, pretty easy to understand and in my experience works really well. Of course backup any important data before you do this
[08:01] <evfan42> can someone help me? I cant get 7.10 to install, I get a root error when I try to use the partition I set up for it
[08:02] <h1st0> nitrix: there is lighttpd and a sleu of others
[08:03] <h1st0> evfan42: how are you creating the partition that you want to use for it?
[08:03] <WGGMk> whats the command to format a HD completely
[08:03] <evfan42> gnome partition editor
[08:04] <h1st0> z9999: gparted may be the way to go.  or cfdisk something more graphical.
[08:04] <WGGMk> evfan42: no GUI command plz
[08:04] <z9999> MatthewV: Would the live CD boot allow us to determine if the wireless is installed and works, and the audio also? These are the two pieces of hardware we have had the most problems getting to work.
[08:04] <dns53> WGGMk: what do you want to format and what file type?
[08:04] <h1st0> evfan42: What is the error you are getting?
[08:05] <evfan42> h1st0: No root file system is defined
[08:05] <evfan42> thats the error I get
[08:05] <MatthewV> z9999, they would tell you if it worked out of the box... ie if it works out of the box then it will do the same once installed, however, if you need a lot of tweaking, you may not be able to try all that from the live cd
[08:05] <WGGMk> dns53: I want to format an external 500GB USB External HD... standby for file system type
[08:05] <MatthewV> z9999, since this is  a much newer version though , there's a good chance that even what you had trouble with before will now work without issue
[08:06] <z9999> kelsin: I believe we have parted and gparted installed from the package manager. Is the live cd you mention something different?
[08:06] <evfan42> H1st0 do you mind if I im'ed you
[08:07] <kelsin> z9999: yes, it's a bootable live cd that you can download from the gparted website and boot with. Just allows you to play with all partitions on the system
[08:07] <h1st0> evfan42: you have to mark the partition as /
[08:07] <avis> will gparted non-destructively resize a ext3 partition ?
[08:07] <robo> net
[08:07] <h1st0> evfan42: no I don't care if you msg me
[08:07] <kelsin> avis: yes
[08:07] <gruntLINUX> YAY For all those who helped me woot
[08:07] <gruntLINUX> im learning!
[08:07] <zetheroo> is it possible to run a virtual machine from a plugged in USB device?
[08:07] <gruntLINUX> anyway just wanted to say thanks im off to try and install apache
[08:07] <WGGMk> dns53: sorry i seem to forget the command to list the current filesystem type
[08:07] <kelsin> avis: (but obviously backup any important data, stuff can always go wrong) but I've had great experience with it resizing (grow and shrink) ntfs and ext3 partitions
[08:07] <h1st0> avis: any time you resize you have to possibility of losing data.
[08:08] <avis> thank you
[08:08] <astro76> z9999, the livecd we are talking about is the ubuntu install cd
[08:08] <h1st0> avis: I've never lost anything but its possible.
[08:08] <WGGMk> dns53: id like to keep it the same as my root filing system unless there is beniefts of others for strictly storage that will be accessed frequently and updating frequently
[08:08] <kelsin> z9999: the live cd I'm talking about is the gparted cd, I was just pointing it out as a good solution to resize and make new partitions, I'm NOT talking about configuring the new ubuntu install after
[08:08] <h1st0> evfan42: Once you create teh partition you also need to select the mount point for it in the installer.  Like /  which would be the root partition.
[08:09] <WGGMk> dns53: so my root file system is ext3
[08:09] <dns53> well the easy way is use gparted. you need to create a partition if you have not. there is usually a tool for each file system
[08:10] <Saelynh> thanks dolphin_noel
[08:10] <evfan42> h1st0: thanks, for some reason I couldn't get it but it works now
[08:10] <astro76> WGGMk, the command is mkfs.ext3
[08:11] <h1st0> evfan42: Yeah thats all you just need to specify the mount point.  Make sure you also create a partition for /swap as well.
[08:11] <dns53> thanks, i could not remember it myself either
[08:11] <evfan42> yeah I have a swap from the last one
[08:11] <h1st0> evfan42: Just FYI you could let he installer set up the partitions for you.
[08:11] <weyer> hi, i'm having trouble to mount an external usb drive as regular user
[08:11] <z9999> kelsin + astro76: Currently we have sda1 32 kb to 99 Gb ext3, and sda2 99 Gb to 100 Gb, which I believe is used as sda5 which shows to be a 1.3 Gb swap.
[08:11] <WGGMk> astro76: and that will format the existing partitions and make and ext3 partition after format? is this similar to fdisk?
[08:11] <weyer> mounting as root works fine, but i can't mount from inside gnome
[08:11] <h1st0> evfan42: and if you insist on doing it manually I would make a seperate /home partition.  That way if you reinstall or switch distros all your data and settings are saved.
[08:11] <weyer> any ideas where to start?
[08:12] <evfan42> h1st0:I already had a partition for windows that I didn't wont to lose
[08:12] <h1st0> weyer: what are you trying to mount.
[08:12] <kelsin> WGGMk: the mkfs commands only deal with the filesystems. I edit the partitions on the disk you need to use fdisk / cfdisk or a gui program like gparted
[08:12] <kelsin> WGGMk: *to edit I meant
[08:12] <h1st0> evfan42: Yeah if you jgust leave free space the installer does its job and won't touch windows with out telling you.
[08:12] <weyer> h1st0: external "enclosure" usb disk, with a maxtor inside
[08:12] <h1st0> weyer: should just plug it in.
[08:12] <WGGMk> kelsin: so to properly format and lay down a filing system use mkfs,ext3?
[08:12] <evfan42> h1st0: alright, thx
[08:12] <Indiadev_Techie> Hi every body...
[08:13] <astro76> WGGMk, Yes it will create the filesystem, therefore formatting it. fdisk creates partitions but you already have a partition
[08:13] <Indiadev_Techie> can i setup ubuntu as a server n windows machines as clients....
[08:13] <kelsin> WGGMk: once you have a partition that you want to have formatted ext3, that command will do it
[08:13] <kelsin> Indiadev_Techie: a server for what?
[08:13] <WGGMk> astro76, dns53, kelsin: thanks for the help guys
[08:13] <h1st0> WGGMk: partitions are containers that tell the data where the start and end are.  If that makes more sense
[08:13] <Indiadev_Techie> file sharing & communication....
[08:13] <weyer> h1st0: Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume.
[08:13] <bidioule_> hi channel
[08:13] <WGGMk> h1st0: thanks for the helpful analogy
[08:13] <astro76> Indiadev_Techie, you could run a virtual machine
[08:14] <weyer> h1st0: that's what i get when i plug it in
[08:14] <astro76> !vm | Indiadev_Techie
[08:14] <kelsin> Indiadev_Techie: you can have a ubuntu server share files via the windows file sharing mechanisms
[08:14] <ubotu> Indiadev_Techie: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications
[08:14] <astro76> Indiadev_Techie, misread your question... ignore me
[08:14] <kelsin> Indiadev_Techie: as far as communications, I don't know what you mean by that
[08:14] <Wayn2> hey all

[08:15] <Indiadev_Techie> i want to setup ubuntu as a surver since windows 2003 server license in very costly.... n it limits u to number of pcs.....
[08:15] <Indiadev_Techie> kelsin: i mean ircd for communication...
[08:15] <bidioule_> here is my problem : i have recently bought an ASUS Z99N, installed ubuntu, and it appears that during the booting, it sometimes freezes. i have found out that launching a memtest before booting reduces the likelyhood of a freezing, and i'm lost about what to do next to fix it
[08:15] <Indiadev_Techie> we have hp workstaion in our campus/academy
[08:16] <kelsin> IRC is OS independent, you can definitely get an ubuntu server to share files via samba and run an irc server
[08:16] <Wayn2> i got a question for anyone of you
[08:16] <kelsin> bidioule_: I would try disabling acpi, it's a boot parameter, and see if that helps
[08:17] <rgnr> where do i install java
[08:17] <themoebius> hey do you guys know what the deal is with the official ati drivers? do i need to install it from their .run file or is the version in the ubuntu repositories best?
[08:17] <nitrix> whats a simple httpd for ubuntu? lighttpd doesnt work...
[08:17] <kelsin> rgnr: to install java you just type "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre" there is no "where" unless you're doing something very tricky
[08:17] <bidioule_> kelsin : it seems to freeze almost always at the same point, i can see that during a recovery-session boot
[08:17] <Indiadev_Techie> nitrix : apache...
[08:17] <kelsin> bidioule_: what point?
[08:18] <nitrix> apache is not simple
[08:18] <kelsin> nitrix: people have gotten lighhttpd to work, what was the issue?
[08:18] <Indiadev_Techie> nitrix: it just luk to be not simple...
[08:18] <bidioule_> kelsin : would you know what is the file logging the output of the booting process ? i'll post my problem on a forum, it seems kind of crowded in here...
[08:18] <kelsin> /var/log/messages I think... I could be wrong
[08:19] <bidioule_> ok i'll check out, thanks for the help
[08:19] <dns53> rgnr sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre there is also 5 and icetea
[08:20] <Indiadev_Techie> astro76 : i dont wanna run VM instead i wanna setup a server for windows client o that we can share files, communicate thro ircd & browse internet.....
[08:21] <nitrix> i downloaded lighthttpd, ./configure then make and im lost...
[08:21] <kelsin> Indiadev_Techie: you can definitely do that on ubuntu, depending on exact requirements it will require some learning / google
[08:21] <kelsin> nitrix: install it with the ubuntu packages
[08:21] <nitrix> ?
[08:21] <nitrix> how
[08:21] <kelsin> sudo apt-get install lighttpd
[08:22] <nitrix> doesnt work
[08:22] <nitrix> tried b4
[08:22] <usser> nitrix, doesnt install?
[08:22] <kelsin> nitrix: and when you're at it it would be a good idea to browse ubuntu documentation, you should never be installing from source unless you have a specific reason to be
[08:22] <nitrix> packet lighthttpd is not avail.
[08:22] <Indiadev_Techie> n one morr question.... does ubuntu v7.10 have ntfs read/write feature ???
[08:22] <kelsin> you probably have to enable the universe and multiverse repos
[08:22] <usser> Indiadev_Techie, yes
[08:22] <nitrix> gay
[08:23] <Indiadev_Techie> usser: gr888888888888888888
[08:23] <kelsin> !universe
[08:23] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[08:23] <Indiadev_Techie> i luv ubuntu
[08:23] <astro76> nitrix, it would help if you spelled it right, lighttpd, also you could drop the offensive language in here thanks
[08:25] <romulo> hi, can you tell me if teh tracker tool can index NTFS partitions?

[08:27] <Kanashimi> Hello there. Anyone else having PHP trouble after the latest security update for it? -- Specifically PHP not interpreting the files but the files being sent as-is instead. I think it also overwrote portions of my config.
[08:27] <Chobotron> I installed MediaWiki1.10, but http://localhost/wiki doesn't do anthing... what else do i need to set up???
[08:28] <Gnea> Kanashimi: that's an apache config problem, not a php problem
[08:28] <astro76> nitrix, it's clever :p
[08:28] <amp> I have a problem with the program “Gyach” to run in yahoo but now when I click to get sound/voice in the yahoo chat room I get this message saying
[08:28] <amp> “Cannot run gyvoice due to the following missing files:
[08:28] <amp>       tsd32.dll and  tssoft.acm ...Not in the following directories:
[08:28] <amp>       /usr/lib/win32/
[08:28] <amp>       /usr/local/lib/win32/ ?? how can I fix this problem ??
[08:28] <amp>
[08:28] <amp> I installed ..  gyachi_1.1.0-1_i386_gusty.deb
[08:28] <Kanashimi> Gnea: Well, the thing is that mod_php got updated and after that it stopped working without me having touched the before working Apache configs.
[08:28] <Gnea> Chobotron: did you look at /usr/share/doc/mediawiki/ ?
[08:29] <astro76> Chobotron, IIRC mediawiki install defaults to w/
[08:29] <Gnea> Kanashimi: so did you check the apache configs for anything php-related?
[08:29] <Chobotron> not yet brb thanx doods

[08:30] <nitrix> how can i find where a program is?
[08:30] <P5YCH0> please somebody help.i have a toshiba nootbook whit ati radeon xpress 200m. and i need something like beryl
[08:30] <Gnea> nitrix: which
[08:30] <nitrix> which?
[08:30] <kelsin> nitrix: meaning where lighttpd got installed?
[08:30] <Gnea> yes, which
[08:30] <nitrix> yes
[08:30] <Gnea> it's a command
[08:30] <nitrix> ok
[08:30] <Gnea> which ls
[08:30] <Chobotron> astro76   http://localhost/w/ ? nothin there
[08:30] <Kanashimi> Gnea: php5.conf and php5.load are linked in mods-enabled as they should be.
[08:30] <kelsin> since it's a server it probably has a command in /etc/init.d/ that starts and stops it
[08:31] <kelsin> you can see what files got installed with "dpkg -L lighttpd"
[08:31] <P5YCH0> somebody can help?
[08:31] <nitrix> how do i get inetd?
[08:31] <Gnea> Kanashimi: please read: look at the config files themselves, search for anything php, see if any of it is commented out...

[08:32] <Gnea> nitrix: please, leave your opinion at the door.
[08:32] <mathen> how do I know what key is my Super? And can I change it?
[08:32] <ari_stress> mathen: key super is the one with windows logo on it
[08:32] <r0b> mathen: super = windows key
[08:32] <Gnea> mathen: <Super> is the windows key between ctrl and alt
[08:33] <Gnea> on the left-side
[08:33] <r0b> mathen: are you trying to change the key in compiz fusion?
[08:33] <mathen> Cool! thanks people, I saw a video how one could arrange all windows (internet, folders, terminal, xchat, etc) Almost like Super+E, but just not all "screens" :P
[08:33] <Gnea> i like the thing that lets you write in fire all over the screen
[08:34] <mathen> No r0b I'm satisfied with having it as my windows key :)
[08:34] <Gnea> mathen: yeah, the grouping is pretty spiffy :)
[08:34] <pg> I want to create a dual boot disk, with a new Gutsy installation and a Feisty installation copied from another disk (but created on the same machine).  I partitioned the disk, installed Gutsy on one partition, dd'ed the Feisty installation onto the other partition, and added stanzas for the Feisty partition to /boot/grub/menu.lst.  But booting does not work.  First it couldn't boot the Feisty installation, now it boots it but without
[08:34] <mathen> What do you press to arrange all open windows side by side so to say.
[08:34] <mathen> Not screens, but windows (xchat, internet, terminal, msn, etc)
[08:35] <pg> mathen: which window manager are you using?
[08:35] <mathen> Compiz
[08:35] <Gnea> side-by-side?
[08:35] <Gnea> i usually use alt-tab or Super-tab
[08:35] <r0b> mathen: i think if you click in the top right corner it gives you that look
[08:35] <Kanashimi> Gnea: Well, I just rechecked and Apache config-wise everything looks to be the same way it was working with before.
[08:35] <mathen> There I got the turn off button :)

[08:36] <mathen> Around 3:33
[08:36] <mathen> In that video, he does it
[08:36] <mathen> It's a feature I've seen in newest Mac OX Leopard aswell
[08:36] <mathen> video is at the bottom of the page*
[08:37] <P5YCH0> the compiz will work whit my graphic card (ati radeon xpress 200m)
[08:37] <mathen> Any idea r0b
[08:37] <Kanashimi> Gnea: You're telling me :) I've even tried adding handlers in specific under the virtualhost, 'php_value engine on' and so on to try and force it to life.
[08:40] <pg> mathen, I can't see a side-by-side pic in that web page
[08:40] <nitrix> lighttpd gives me a 404 error wtf why?

[08:44] <delano> Yo, got a question 'bout partioning
[08:44] <delano> Anyone here?
[08:44] <pg> delano: just ask
[08:44] <MatthewV> delano, there are 1089 people here, just asik ;)
[08:44] <MatthewV> *ask
[08:44] <delano> Sorry, bad habit :)
[08:45] <mathen> brb
[08:45] <delano> When I run setup and it asks me to resize an existing partition... is it showing the size of the NEW partition, or the size the old partition will be afterwards?
[08:47] <ompaul> delano, tell us more about the machine - when you do that what is in your machine already some other operating system that is not gnu/linux?
[08:47] <H264_laptop> anybody have a favorite front end local dictionary?
[08:48] <ompaul> H264_laptop, in a console I use ispell

[08:49] <adamadam20074> hi all, i just had a quick question
[08:49] <ompaul> !ask
[08:49] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:49] <mathen> I probably turned something off in Compiz, now I can't move my windows. Any idea? :P
[08:49] <ompaul> pg, you might want to continue that

[08:49] <mathen> Thanks.
[08:50] <adamadam20074> sorry, does anyone know how to get direct rendering to work? i have an ati radeon 9800 pro and have installed the newest driver with envy but cant get the direct rendering to turn on
[08:50] <delano> I have a 160gig drive with windows xp already installed
[08:50] <ompaul> mathen, your welcome
[08:50] <delano> MatthewV: yes
[08:50] <delano> That screem
[08:50] <delano> Screen, even
[08:51] <ompaul> delano, so then what it is showing you is how the disk will end up if you take its suggestion -- remember to defrag windows before you do it
[08:51] <rattts> I need a very lightweight linux OS for like a 10 year old comp with a 6 Gb HD...its to be used for word processing....anyone know any good OS for this purpose...it must have a word processor
[08:51] <ompaul> rattts, how much ram
[08:51] <MatthewV> delano, i think that's the size of the NEW partition, where the percentage is hte percentage of the old partition the new partition will take up.. you could always go 50% and you couldn't be wrong :P
[08:51] <H264_laptop> adamadam20074: I was told that the open source drivers for ATI work better with anything lower than the ATI X1300
[08:51] <rattts> i think 128 mb
[08:51] <rattts> or 56 mb
[08:51] <delano> ompaul: thanks
[08:51] <MatthewV> would abiword on xubuntu be too heavy? /me thinks it would...
[08:52] <delano> ompaul: so, say I slide it to 95% (139.5 in my case)
[08:52] <ompaul> rattts, ehh maybe 56mb - check out DSL not a great UI but in terms of a box that small it rocks
[08:52] <adamadam20074> ok how do i install the open source driver?
[08:52] <rattts> wat about an old version of ubuntu?
[08:52] <delano> ompaul: the 139g will be the size of my current ntds partition, right?
[08:52] <delano> ntfs
[08:52] <rattts> Does tiny Os have a word proccessor??????????
[08:52] <crdlb> rattts: if anything, ubuntu is lighter than it used to be :)
[08:52] <H264_laptop> adamadam20074: not exactly sure... just a sec
[08:53] <h1st0> rattts: ubuntu would be fine for that.
[08:53] <rattts> the newest version?
[08:53] <ompaul> delano, correct, however you should give the ubuntu O/S a chance and give it 15/20Gigs so you can keep installing stuff without pain
[08:53] <h1st0> rattts: or puppy linux or damn small linux there are tons of variants
[08:53] <h1st0> rattts: of small os's out there.
[08:53] <crdlb> h1st0: ubuntu is fine on 56MB of ram? O_o
[08:53] <rattts> lol
[08:53] <h1st0> crdlb: rattts sure running in console mode
[08:53] <ompaul> rattts, check out distrowatch.com cos ubuntu is too heavy
[08:53] <rattts> lol
[08:54] <rattts> ok thanx
[08:54] <delano> ompaul: well, it's a 160g drive, so 139 would still leave behind 19g
[08:54] <h1st0> rattts: do you need a gui?  then install ubuntu comand line and install flux or some lighter weight wb
[08:54] <crdlb> h1st0: I don't think that's how he would interpret that :)
[08:54] <h1st0> rattts: wm
[08:54] <rattts> windows xp ran fine on this comp by the way
[08:54] <rattts> so now wat do u think
[08:54] <h1st0> ompaul: no its not if you stay away from ubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-desktop packages.
[08:54] <mathen> Ok, I can't move my windows or make them smaller or bigger ( I reseted the settings in Compiz to standard, so I don't think the error belongs there anymore )
[08:54] <h1st0> rattts: how much ram does it have?
[08:54] <rattts> im not sure. it has no os atm
[08:55] <rattts> so i forgot
[08:55] <rattts> either 128 or 56
[08:55] <rattts> i think 128 mb
[08:55] <h1st0> rattts:probably 128
[08:55] <h1st0> try xubuntu out
[08:55] <rattts> ok thanx
[08:55] <rattts> xubuntu is lightweight?
[08:55] <h1st0> yes
[08:55] <H264_laptop> adamadam20074: this looks like a good place to start.... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
[08:55] <rattts> thanx. that will do
[08:55] <Sir_Fawnpug> Never operate a computer when drinking
[08:55] <rattts> cya im off to download xubuntu
[08:55] <h1st0> and if thats not light enough you can install a command line systme and install an even lighter weight window manager
[08:56] <ompaul> delano, I will say this however the more you give ubuntu the more you can do with it - I share with with windows by giving windows 0% of every hard drive in my house ;-)
[08:56] <delano> k I'm off
[08:56] <h1st0> rattts: but xubuntu will be fine with those specs
[08:56] <delano> Haha

[08:56] <ompaul> delano, that is horrible
[08:57] <delano> Nah, it's really useful
[08:57] <delano> Now xp and ubuntu can play nice :S
[08:57] <pg> sorry - what should I finish?

[08:58] <adamonline> 'ndiswrapper.ko' could not be found, has anyone dealt with this before when doing 'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper'?
[08:58] <pg> ompaul: first it wouldn't boot the Feisty installation, now it boots it without drivers, and now it doesn't boot the Gutsy installation anymore
[08:58] <timsandtoms> Heeeey... What do I type to use a tar.bz2?
[08:59] <pg> ompaul: I think it was reading different menu.lst files these two times.

[08:59] <stefano> i've wrote a paper on how to create an encrypted nas with ubuntu, but i'm not a native english speaker. could someone take a look at it and correct the mistakes i made?
[09:00] <pg> impaul: it's booting the Feisty installation but with the Gutsy kernel, so the kernel modules don't get loaded correctly
[09:00] <ompaul> pg, sounds more like a broken upgrade than a new install - the description does not match what you are suggesting happened :-( however I will have the bot message you something that may help
[09:00] <FreeFall> hi I am a linux n00b.    I was wondering if there is a codec pack similar to k-lite or nimo for linux
[09:00] <FreeFall> totem is not working
[09:00] <ompaul> pg, now I am sure of what I suggested
[09:00] <H264_laptop> FreeFall: video or sound codec?
[09:01] <FreeFall> video
[09:01] <pg> impaul: OK...
[09:01] <H264_laptop> FreeFall: there is ffmpeg for the command line...
[09:01] <H264_laptop> for converting anyway
[09:01] <FreeFall> ok
[09:01] <ompaul> pg try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -- however I think you should back up any data you have and start again
[09:01] <pg> ompaul: I can try copying the installation, then installing if that will help
[09:01] <H264_laptop> FreeFall: what do you want to do?
[09:02] <FreeFall> play .avi files
[09:02] <FreeFall> I torrent alot
[09:02] <FreeFall> legaly
[09:02] <FreeFall> ...yes
[09:02] <pg> ompaul: I mean I can copy the Feisty installation, then install Gutsy on another partition
[09:02] <usser> FreeFall, u can install vlc player
[09:02] <H264_laptop> FreeFall: ah... then download the VLC media player... the best there is
[09:02] <FreeFall> I know
[09:02] <FreeFall> I hates vlc
[09:02] <nikosapi_> hello, I'm doing an alternate install on a machine that has no possibility of connecting to the internet, I selected a different language (French) and it said it could download some additional dictionaries, etc. How would I go about finishing the language installation?
[09:02] <FreeFall> oh well
[09:02] <FreeFall> if I got to I got to
[09:02] <h1st0> !codec > FreeFall (Please see the private message from ubotu)
[09:02] <stefano> it is five pages, could somebody please take a look at it? i'd be glad
[09:02] <FreeFall> what about kaffine?
[09:02] <ompaul> pg do this, using a live CD examine your machine and move your home directory to somewhere safe or that you are sure of and then start your processes again
[09:03] <usser> FreeFall, or mplayer or xine
[09:03] <H264_laptop> FreeFall: hehe... I love it myself ;)
[09:03] <usser> FreeFall, kaffeine is pretty cool
[09:03] <usser> FreeFall, i loved it
[09:03] <ompaul> pg I have to go later and enjoy the learning ;-)
[09:03] <bullgard4> When havong Freenode, how can one put to good use OFTC in addition?
[09:03] <usser> FreeFall, u'd have to tinker with the codecs a bit to make it work properly
[09:03] <t1n0m3n> I have been to several channels in search of a problem resolution, I have yet to find a fix to my issue.  I am running kubuntu 7.10 x64 and I am getting internet slowness (7.2 KBps) across the internet only.  I have an XP machine that D/L files at 600+ KBps on the same lan, and I have another HD with kubuntu 7.10 32 bit that downloads the same as my XP machine.  A weird piece is that samba downloads from my XP machine to my 7
[09:03] <t1n0m3n> nered, but no one seems to be able to give me further help.  If anyone thinks they can shed light on what is happening, I welcome some direction.
[09:03] <FreeFall> is there anything else that I should be doing to my ubuntu that might not of been in   the 7.10 pack?
[09:04] <pg> ompaul: thanks: just one question: does it matter what is put on teh disk first: the old installation or the new one?
[09:04] <usser> FreeFall, what do u mean?
[09:04] <ompaul> pg no
[09:04] <FreeFall> sorry to rattle off questions
[09:04] <FreeFall> I just want so bad to be done with microsoft
[09:04] <H264_laptop> FreeFall: DVD::Rip
[09:04] <astro76> FreeFall, since you are interested in media... start with ubuntu-restricted-extras, and libdvdcss2 from medibuntu
[09:05] <astro76> !medibuntu | FreeFall
[09:05] <ubotu> FreeFall: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[09:05] <FreeFall> cool
[09:05] <FreeFall> thanks
[09:05] <FreeFall> sorry for being such a newbie
[09:05] <FreeFall> I found this site
[09:06] <FreeFall> and I figured the irc probaably better than trolling around the net all night
[09:06] <FreeFall> figuring out what to get
[09:06] <astro76> FreeFall, that will set you up with all the codecs and encrypted dvd support
[09:06] <FreeFall> awesome
[09:06] <FreeFall> thank you guys so much
[09:06] <H264_laptop> FreeFall: that is what this channel is here for :)
[09:06] <astro76> FreeFall, and flash, java, and ms fonts ;)
[09:06] <FreeFall> also I am using bitchx is that the best irc for linux it was the only one I know from when I made eggdrops
[09:07] <astro76> FreeFall, popular ones are irssi, xchat, and bitchx
[09:07] <gRnt> Is anyone able to help me out with my dyndns issue I know its not directly ubuntu related but im sure someone here uses it
[09:07] <FreeFall> fuck xchat
[09:07] <astro76> !ohmy
[09:07] <ubotu> Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[09:07] <r0b> irssi ftw
[09:07] <FreeFall> oh crap
[09:07] <FreeFall> sorry
[09:08] <H264_laptop> astro76: assuming he is using 32bit Ubuntu... in my case I can not (really) use flash on my computers because this laptop is PowerPC and desktop is 64bit..
[09:09] <t1n0m3n> gRnt: I just joined, what is your dyndns issue?
[09:09] <timsandtoms> hey guys, what do I put into terminal to open a .tar.bz2 after i get to the right directory
[09:09] <gRnt> t1n0m3n other can access the server but any of the servers on my home network only get the option to log into my router. I know you can change your hosts file on windows but that didnt fix it
[09:10] <astro76> H264_laptop, good point, FreeFall you might also consider sticking with 32bit ubuntu, even if 64bit is an option for you
[09:10] <gRnt> for example if I gave you the URL it'd work for you but not here locally
[09:10] <stefano> timsandtoms, tat -jvf yourarchive.tar.bz2
[09:10] <timsandtoms> :D awesome, thanks
[09:10] <stefano> sorry timsandtoms no
[09:10] <stefano> thats xjf
[09:10] <astro76> timsandtoms, tar xjvf
[09:10] <stefano> either way :-)
[09:10] <timsandtoms> ah, thanks guys :)
[09:11] <ttt-> hi, what does ./ do exactly? im trying to add a shortcut to thunderbird to my panel
[09:11] <astro76> yeah v is verbose
[09:11] <t1n0m3n> gRnt: what is in your hosts file?
[09:11] <FreeFall> what is amak engine?
[09:11] <gRnt> windows or nix?
[09:11] <astro76> ttt-, ./ is current directory, ../ is one directory up
[09:11] <FreeFall> amarok-engine
[09:11] <ttt-> astro76:  but you need it to execute a program? ./thunderbird works.. but thunderbird doesnt
[09:11] <ttt-> in the terminal
[09:11] <gRnt> for windows its <IP_ADDRESS> http://dyndns account
[09:12] <gRnt> so thats obviously the servers static and the dyndns it should link to
[09:12] <gRnt> actually its
[09:12] <gRnt> for windows its <IP_ADDRESS> http://dyndns account/torrentflux/
[09:12] <astro76> ttt-, in the terminal you need to specify the full path to execute a program, unless that program is in your path, and ./ is the shortest way of specifying the full path ;)
[09:12] <stefano> i hate to ask again but could somebody please take a quick look over my paper and check for mistakes?
[09:12] <H264_laptop> FreeFall: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ is your friend... you can look up any packages and descriptions there :)
[09:13] <t1n0m3n> gRnt: That doesnt look right, it should be whatever you set the account to update, not the actual url to the account
[09:13] <ttt-> astro76:  thanks for the help
[09:13] <gRnt> come again
[09:14] <gRnt> <IP_ADDRESS> is the ip of the server, which is what its updating?
[09:14] <astro76> ttt-, for the shortcut.. you will want to specify full path if it's not in $PATH, without using ./
[09:14] <ttt-> yeah, it worked like you said
[09:18] <eth01> can somebody give me their sources.list?
[09:19] <eth01> for 7.10
[09:19] <eth01> thx in advance
[09:19] <timsandtoms> Hey, quick unrelated question(But I can't very well ask it IN efnet)... What do I put in as the server when I set up an IRC profile for Efnet in Pidgin?
[09:20] <bardun>  Hm, how can i get white text on my panel? I want a black background with white text on top
[09:20] <eth01> timsandtoms: irc.domain.com
[09:20] <eth01> replace 'domain' with efnet
[09:20] <Abu-Aadam> timsandtoms: easy just find out a server on google
[09:20] <eth01> and .com with net =p
[09:21] <timsandtoms> ah, thanks :P i tried google, got a buncha IRC FAQS.
[09:21] <t1n0m3n> holy crap, this x64 bug is driving me nuts
[09:23] <digitaldevoter> Hi I cant install Nvidia drivers for Geforce 3 Ti 200
[09:23] <H264_laptop> eth01: http://pastebin.com/d7cf31c5a - on my PowerPC install...
[09:25] <digitaldevoter> after running the installation it says "Error - Nvidia-installer must be run as root
[09:25] <SiegeX> seems pretty self explanitory to me
[09:25] <digitaldevoter> how can I run s.t. as " ROOT"
[09:25] <r0b> sudo
[09:25] <SiegeX> heh assuming what you didnt know
[09:25] <digitaldevoter> yes I am new to Linux
[09:26] <H264_laptop> digitaldevoter: that is easy fix... though you need to be doing it from the command line
[09:26] <digitaldevoter> keep it going
[09:26] <H264_laptop> digitaldevoter: sudo ./NVIDIA_Driver_version.run
[09:27] <H264_laptop> assuming you are in the same directory
[09:27] <digitaldevoter> is ./ the way to the location ?
[09:27] <digitaldevoter> aha
[09:27] <H264_laptop> digitaldevoter: figure it out?
[09:30] <hangthedj> does anybody have trouble with VirtualBox not being able to run USB?
[09:33] <adamadam20074> ok ive managed to reconfigure the .xorg file with vimm, how do i save and exit the file?
[09:33] <digitaldevoter> H264 well now it gives me an other error Unable to find the system ultiity "ld" . Pleasy make shure you have the package "binutils" installed. If you do not then check that "ld" is in your path."

[09:37] <delano> Yes
[09:37] <r0b> delano: boot to your windows disk,choose repair, fixmbr
[09:37] <usser> delano, right so pop it in go to repair console and do fixmbr
[09:37] <usser> aww
[09:37] <delano> But Windows repair is useless?
[09:37] <usser> delano, well turns out it isnt :)
[09:37] <delano> Everytime in the past I tried Windows repair and it does zilch
[09:38] <digitaldevoter> how can you get rid of the boot OS chouser
[09:38] <usser> delano, windows recovery console
[09:38] <delano> Isn't there a way I can fix it from ubuntu liveboot?
[09:38] <doktoreas> delano, i fixed it with mandriva livecd
[09:38] <doktoreas> it has got an otpion to auto fix mbr
[09:38] <delano> does ubuntu have that option somewhere?
[09:38] <usser> delano, ubuntu doesnt have windows boot loader
[09:38] <usser> delano, or u just want any bootloader?

[09:48] <MilhousePunkRock> Hello everyone!
[09:50] <MilhousePunkRock> I am suffering from sound loss after suspend/hibernate with an Audigy SE (module snd_ca0106)... Which modules do I need to put in MODULES= in the /etc/default/acpi-support? Only the very first one or all sound related modules?
[09:51] <H264_laptop> talking about sound loss.... for some reason my iBook does not have sound :(
[09:51] <soldats> hey i usually boot into cli when bored and play music and such but can i run multiple apps if i boot in cli instead of X
[09:52] <SuSe1> hi  there all
[09:52] <astro76> soldats, sure, there's 6 virtual consoles, you have bash job control, and there's screen
[09:52] <MilhousePunkRock> soldats: "$COMMAND &" will get you back to she shell while command is executed IIRC
[09:52] <soldats> astro76, thats what i though using F1 and such correct
[09:53] <soldats> MilhousePunkRock, i know that command in terminal but it only was working while i was in an X session
[09:53] <astro76> soldats, yes alt+F1 through F6, and as MilhousePunkRock said you can background a task right away with &, search for bash job control for more info
[09:54] <soldats> astro76, thanks i thought so i was just making sure
[09:54] <astro76> !screen
[09:54] <soldats> MilhousePunkRock, thanks as well
[09:54] <ubotu> screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen
[09:54] <MilhousePunkRock> soldats: yw
[09:54] <soldats> astro76, i rarely use screen hah
[09:54] <astro76> soldats, screen really shines when loggin in remotely
[09:55] <soldats> astro76, yea thats what i hear but i dont do that often
[09:56] <i0ht> hi

[09:57] <imbecile> hey guys. what do i use to make a video of my screen like in the compiz-fusion videos?
[09:57] <astro76> !screencast | imbecile
[09:57] <ubotu> imbecile: Some programs to capture your screen are Istanbul, Wink, Gvidcap, Xvidcap, vnc2swf, demorecorder.  Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts.
[09:57] <i0ht> ty then
[09:57] <imbecile> astro76:  THANKS
[09:58] <imbecile> astro76:  which one do you recommend for starters?
[09:58] <kakoonia> !automatix
[09:58] <astro76> imbecile, haven't tried any, but I've heard good things about Istanbul
[09:58] <ubotu> automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe »
[09:58] <soldats> xvidcap i hear is good
[09:58] <imbecile> cool deal ill get both
[10:00] <fx|RabBi1> hi! i got massive crashing trouble with azureus bittorrent clinet on 64bit gutsy does anone have an idea hot to resolve this?
[10:01] <soldats> its azureus
[10:01] <kakoonia> hey
[10:01] <kakoonia> how do i uninstall kiba-dock?
[10:01] <soldats> fx|RabBi1, id suggest using ktorrent
[10:01] <fx|RabBi1> soldats: great
[10:01] <sake> #ubuntu-pl
[10:01] <imbecile> ive always had trouble with azureus
[10:01] <fx|RabBi1> kakoonia: forget it its instabel like hell take avant window navigator instead
[10:02] <imbecile> kakoonia:  sudo apt-get remove kibadock
[10:02] <fx|RabBi1> ok any alternatives to azureus?
[10:02] <bazhang> transmission
[10:02] <imbecile> fx|RabBi1 ktorrent is good
[10:02] <soldats> fx|RabBi1, ktorrent for gui or rtorrent for cli
[10:02] <MilhousePunkRock> what about deluge?
[10:02] <fx|RabBi1> wonderful, thx!:]
[10:02] <soldats> MilhousePunkRock, i herd it was slow
[10:03] <imbecile> im not that into deluge either
[10:03] <MilhousePunkRock> soldats: I never used it... My main system is Kubuntu so KTorrent is an obvious choice
[10:03] <soldats> since oink is down i dont torrent anymore
[10:03] <fx|RabBi1> and what about transmission?
[10:03] <bazhang> no port forwarding with transmission
[10:03] <aricz> rtorrent ftw!
[10:03] <bazhang> quite fast imo
[10:04] <fx|RabBi1> rtorrent?
[10:04] <soldats> MilhousePunkRock, ahh i just read somewhere the deluge is slow
[10:04] <dinop007> hi all is tge
[10:04] <bazhang> rtorrent is nice but no gui
[10:04] <fx|RabBi1> oh ic
[10:04] <soldats> rtorrent is faster as well
[10:04] <fx|RabBi1> well n1 priority: it ought to work
[10:04] <kakoonia> imbecile : would it remove it completely, cause i dont want any trace of it
[10:04] <MilhousePunkRock> Doesn't rtorrent have a webui though?
[10:04] <fx|RabBi1> n2 priority fast pls gg
[10:04] <soldats> MilhousePunkRock, yea so does ktorrent
[10:05] <dinop007> hi all is there is a program similar to adobe after effects?
[10:05] <fx|RabBi1> uh webui?
[10:05] <MilhousePunkRock> soldats: I know, I use it on my laptop when I am too lazy to walk up to the desktop... It still requires X though
[10:05] <fx|RabBi1> does that need apache and php n stuff installed?
[10:05] <soldats> web user interface
[10:05] <MilhousePunkRock> fx|RabBi1: php for KTorrent
[10:05] <soldats> haha
[10:05] <imbecile> kakoonia:  i believe so. you might want to ask someone else more experienced
[10:06] <kakoonia> :)
[10:06] <fx|RabBi1> hmm php needs to run on something
[10:06] <fx|RabBi1> which would be apache then...
[10:06] <soldats> kakoonia, sudo apt-get autoremove kiba-dock
[10:06] <fx|RabBi1> so i need a webserver to use a torrent client XD
[10:06] <soldats> no
[10:06] <fx|RabBi1> if it needs php?
[10:07] <fx|RabBi1> no?
[10:07] <fx|RabBi1> k ill try anyway gg
[10:07] <soldats> just ude ktorrent
[10:07] <soldats> use*
[10:07] <fx|RabBi1> yeah i will thx dudz
[10:07] <soldats> you shouldnt have a problem
[10:07] <kakoonia> soldats: ye, i tried it... and from some reason, it says, no kiba-dock package found... :S
[10:08] <soldats> then try it with "kiba" or "kibadock"
[10:08] <MilhousePunkRock> kakoonia: Maybe the package is called differently.. How did you install it?
