[09:08] <matthew> deviantintegral:  https://core.fluendo.com/elisa/trac/wiki/Packages   <----- that shows you how to get elisa.  Freevo is slightly more difficult to install.
[09:08] <Kalisto> Pupbuntoo, what are you using to convert to pdf?
[09:09] <private_meta> hmm... so, does anyone have info on how i can mount an sd-card-reader (2GB SD-Flash-card) that's connected via PCMCIA, internal?
[09:09] <joejoe300> recovery console?
[09:09] <joejoe300> its not available from the winXP terminal
[09:09] <Pupbuntoo> Kalisto, i'm just using "latex proposal.tex" right now and looking at the DVI file
[09:09] <wols_> joejoe300: no. ask a windows channel this is OT
[09:09] <broedje> nikin: sometomes there ist two cpu displays, for example htop and top.... i think it s because of user and root execution
[09:09] <Colossus> Weird. My mouse seems sticky on Ubuntu now ... when I move it around, every now and then it just stops.
[09:09] <deviantintegral> matthew: excellent, I'll have to give them a try.
[09:09] <sgrove> what's the easiest way to share files between ubuntu computers?
[09:10] <Kjellviz> wols_: are there any easier ways to read the output from dmesg than the all black text on the all white background in my terminal ?
[09:10] <wols_> broedje: no
[09:10] <matthew> deviantintegral:  good luck.
[09:10] <Kalisto> Pupbuntoo, dont know much about it. you might want to use "kile" to view it. it can give you more info
[09:10] <joejoe300> wols_: ok so if i fix the internal drive's mbr
[09:10] <wols_> Kjellviz: dmesg |less
[09:10] <clearzen> sgrove: nfs mounts
[09:10] <nikin> joejoe300: put in the XP install cd and then you can select to start the reco console
[09:10] <IntuitiveNipple> Anyone here got a Vaio with Phoenix BIOS, can do me a favour and capture a memory snapshot of it?
[09:10] <sgrove> should I stick with SMB, or is that more of a way to share files with windows?
[09:10] <joejoe300> how do i install GRUB on the external mbr?
[09:10] <clearzen> sgrove: or sshfs
[09:10] <Kjellviz> wols_: ok thanks
[09:10] <broedje> private_meta: the model from delock? does it really take more than one GB?
[09:10] <joejoe300> right now external doesnt have a working mbr i think
[09:10] <wols_> IntuitiveNipple: that makes no sense
[09:10] <joejoe300> because when i try to boot from it it says
[09:10] <broedje> DeLock
[09:10] <joejoe300> "j"
[09:10] <joejoe300> and stops
[09:10] <IntuitiveNipple> wols_: Makes perfect sense :)
[09:10] <wols_> joejoe300: man grub-install
[09:10] <emanuelez> i'm trying to use gtick (metronome application), but it complains it cannot use /dev/dsp. for everything else sound works fine. any hint?
[09:10] <sgrove> clearzen: clearzen thanks, I goodle those
[09:10] <Kalisto> joejoe300, just install the mbr on the device /dev/device
[09:11] <joejoe300> wols_: sorry for being a noob, but I type that in a console window?
[09:11] <Colossus> Hrrm. Also, I'm only getting a partial menu. The "Applications" portion of the menu doesn't show up at all. :(
[09:11] <ryugaka> dangit this means i have to install all the media stuff and crap now.
[09:11] <Kalisto> joejoe300, no one sec
[09:11] <ryugaka> one by one.
[09:11] <wols_> IntuitiveNipple: no it does not. memory has possibly that users passwords and stuff. no one will give you a memory snapshot. not to mention that it is several hundred MB
[09:11] <wols_> joejoe300: yes
[09:11] <joejoe300> how do i list devices again (want the correct name)
[09:11] <private_meta> broedje: the card reader worked perfectly when i used it with windows, ~1 month ago
[09:11] <clearzen> sgrove: I would suggest using sshfs because it is encrypted. But nfs mounts are faster because there is no security during transfer.
[09:11] <broedje> private_meta: which brand?
[09:11] <wols_> joejoe300: cat /proc/partitions
[09:11] <Kalisto> joejoe300, http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=975
[09:11] <IntuitiveNipple> wols_: You obviously don't understand the question then, I asked for a snapshot of the BIOS, a 64KB section of Read-Only Memory
[09:12] <private_meta> broedje: it's an internal card reader in an asus notebook, but dmesg tells me it's connected via PCMCIA
[09:12] <broedje> uh
[09:12] <Kjellviz> wols_: i get a LOT of errormessages like this:
[09:12] <Kjellviz> [  498.775003]  uvcvideo: Failed to query (1) UVC control 2 (unit 0) : -32 (exp. 26).
[09:12] <Kjellviz> with different parameters
[09:12] <wols_> IntuitiveNipple: more like you don't know how linux or BIOSes work
[09:12] <private_meta> broedje: [17777.580000]  pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.0
[09:12] <broedje> yea.... i cant mount mine MS sony in grml linux sorry
[09:12] <broedje> yea, same
[09:12] <private_meta> ...
[09:12] <IntuitiveNipple> wols: If you don't have a Phoenix BIOS, then you can't help.
[09:12] <broedje> little pcmcia
[09:12] <wols_> IntuitiveNipple: a modern bIOS is far bigger than 64kB fyi. it's usually 256kB
[09:12] <sgrove> clearzen: is there a gui tool for mounting nfs shares on another computer, or is it all terminal?
[09:13] <IntuitiveNipple> wols_: oh leave off, I know what I am doing, you don't. If you can't help me then don't interfere
[09:13] <joejoe300> cat /proc/partitions only shows my internal drive
[09:13] <Kjellviz> wols_: and here is some info about the driver (i think ><):
[09:13] <Kjellviz> [   54.267711]  uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device <unnamed> (046d:08ce)
[09:13] <Kjellviz> [   54.296730]  usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo
[09:13] <Kjellviz> [   54.296737]  USB Video Class driver (v0.1.0)
[09:13] <wols_> IntuitiveNipple: and to burn it you need to have it in a sort of archive os that the burn program accepts it
[09:13] <Kalisto> sgrove, depends on the system. but your faster with terminal
[09:13] <private_meta> broedje: damn... i'm having dozens of problems in ubuntu... dozens of problems more than i had on windows -_-
[09:13] <joejoe300> not external
[09:13] <joejoe300> odd
[09:13] <nikin> hy.. i tryed to use cpulimit.. but if i set it to 1-5% the program still eats about 15%, any idea how to fix that... I use the sourceforge version on dapper server
[09:13] <wols_> Kjellviz: /ignore Kjellviz  for extensive pasting
[09:13] <Kalisto> private_meta, have you googled?
[09:13] <clearzen> sgrove: it's all terminal. You can use the GUI by going to Places-->connect to server. and setting up a share on your desktop that way as well
[09:13] <private_meta> Kalisto: yes...
[09:14] <IntuitiveNipple> wols_: FYI, the section I need is the 64KB from 0xF0000 to 0xFFFFF, and the BIOS in FLASH is 1MB, but it pages in the bits it needs.
[09:14] <clearzen> sgrove: assuming you are using gnome
[09:14] <Kalisto> private_meta, if its not on the net then i doubt anyone can help you
[09:14] <clearzen> sgrove: I would use ssh if you do it that way
[09:14] <jason_> hi i have a Evo 512 ram 2.0 ghz P4 cpu and a 40 gb hd with a 1500 up and 386 down internet connection would my system be concedered as a low end system or what
[09:14] <private_meta> Kalisto: 95% of my problems are not on the net...
[09:14] <sgrove> yeah, default install of ubuntu
[09:14] <jason_> i need to know iam doing some tweaks
[09:14] <joejoe300> wols_: so "grub-install /dev/hdb" will do it?
[09:14] <wols_> IntuitiveNipple: thing is, linux is protected mode. which means 0xF0000 is not display in linux... at least not at that address
[09:14] <Kalisto> private_meta, then you need to learn how to search
[09:14] <IntuitiveNipple> Anyone with a Phoenix BIOS, I need the 64KB section from F0000. You can get it simply by soing "sudo dd if=/dev/mem of=BIOS-F000.bin bs=65536 count=1 skip=15" and then gzip the file
[09:15] <private_meta> Kalisto: well, either that, or it's just, like always, my kind of luck...
[09:15] <IntuitiveNipple> wols_: You're obviously not familiar with Linux memory organisation
[09:15] <kazim59> i installed mozilla-mplayer
[09:15] <cox377> wols_: ok, i'm assuming i'm running this command "sudo smbpasswd -a cox", i run that which then prompts me for pass and confirm pass which i do, i then get "Failed to modify password entry for user cox" any ideas mate?
[09:15] <Kjellviz> wols_: sorry, but you asked for me to read that for u
[09:15] <Kalisto> private_meta, search forums too. gentoo are the best. also debian
[09:16] <clearzen> IntuitiveNipple: I may have a phoenix bios...can I tell from a terminal?
[09:16] <nikin> IntuitiveNipple: any Phoenix BIOS will do?
[09:16] <kazim59> i installed mozilla-mplayer... but still my firefox will try to play embedded wma files using totem there..... and totem won't play them (shows stopped).. how do i change firefox to use mplayer.. (or do i need to install smthing else too)
[09:16] <clearzen> IntuitiveNipple: It may be my server that has the phoenix bios I can't remeber
[09:16] <neun> ayeaye!!
[09:16] <joejoe300> wols_: so "grub-install /dev/hdb" will do it?
[09:16] <Kjellviz> wols_:  its not like i know how to transfer the info to you telepathically
[09:16] <jason_> kazime uninstall all the extra media player
[09:16] <broedje> my xserver-xorg refuses to apt-get upgrade, i would like to purge it, but how
[09:17] <kazim59> jason_: u mean i shud uninstall totem?
[09:17] <jason_> except vlc and real player a mplayer
[09:17] <jason_> yes
[09:17] <IntuitiveNipple> clearzen  nikin Yes, any will do. I'm having to disassemble it to work out what the code at F4120 is doing, and I have just sent my only PC with a Phoenix BIOS off to be serviced
[09:17] <kazim59> jason_: apt-get remove totem
[09:17] <wols_> joejoe300: yes. but you still need the mBR to chain over to grub on hdb
[09:17] <kazim59> jason_: ?
[09:17] <jason_> uninstall all codec
[09:17] <jason_> yea
[09:17] <kazim59> jason_: I've got mplayer installed... and i've added extra codecs to it too (in particlar directories win32 etc)
[09:18] <macaronesico> hello all, i need some help installing
[09:18] <jason_> got to add and remove and just use the gstreamer in there and it will play the embeded things like that
[09:18] <bruenig> !hi | macaronesico be specific
[09:18] <ubotu> macaronesico be specific: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[09:18] <IntuitiveNipple> clearzen: If you type at a terminal "sudo dd if=/dev/mem of=BIOS-F000.bin bs=65536 count=1 skip=15" and then do "grep 'Phoenix' BIOS-F000.bin that should show if it is Phoenix
[09:18] <nikin> IntuitiveNipple: is there any command where i can get info about my bios?
[09:18] <private_meta> Kalisto: i do search forums, but it's not but sometimes it's hard to find motivation if you've passed the first 10 pages in google search
[09:18] <neun> well not remembering who actually helped me some minutes ago i say THANK YOU! to the ubuntu community
[09:18] <IntuitiveNipple> nikin: See my msg above to clearzen :)
[09:18] <bruenig> !caps | neun
[09:18] <ubotu> neun: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[09:18] <jason_> kazime i had the same problem and thats how i fixed it
[09:18] <chrono__> Does anybody know the name of the toolbar/ plugin which is sorta ripped from the mac's? please PM me if you know
[09:19] <bruenig> !pm
[09:19] <Mind7> Free calls - http://callfree.point-serv.com/en/
[09:19] <ubotu> Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude.
[09:19] <Kjellviz> sigh, i hate being new at this, trying to get help and get dissed for not getting help in the right way, way to go for a open minded community ><
[09:19] <neun> bruenig, not the kind of answer i expected but i got it.
[09:19] <jason_> all the codec u need is in the gstreamers in add/remove
[09:19] <Kalisto> private_meta, http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/ftp/doc/PCMCIA-HOWTO.html
[09:19] <joejoe300> wols_: so that means I CANT just fixmbr (in windows) and install grub on the external mbr?
[09:19] <IntuitiveNipple> clearzen: nikin: The reason I need this is, I have a laptop that has VMX (hardware Virtualisation) but the BIOS doesn't provide an option to enable it so I'm hacking it to enable VMX
[09:19] <private_meta> Kalisto: had that page already iirc
[09:19] <wols_> joejoe300: no
[09:20] <kazim59> jason_: totem-mozilla was installed.. i removed it
[09:20] <babylon> Hi, first time on this channel but ive been googling for ages and havent found an answer to my prob... What I have is a problem with video payback.. any format on any player vlc xine totem kaffeine etc. the video image is split diagonaly from top left to bottom right of the screen and everything on the left of the diagonal is reversed. any ideas. Ubuntu feisty 64bit ati radeom proprietry drivers installed
[09:20] <joejoe300> so what do you recommend I do?
[09:20] <jason_> all the extra media codec in automatix mess it up and u cant play dvix moveins or and inbeded movvies
[09:20] <bruenig> !automatix | jason_
[09:20] <ubotu> jason_: Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[09:20] <wols_> joejoe300: make ntldr load the hdb bootsector (grub)
[09:20] <wols_> there are howtos for this out there
[09:20] <clearzen> IntuitiveNipple: It says that the Binary file BIOS-F000.bin matches. I assume that means it is a phoenix bios image then
[09:20] <kazim59> jason_: automatix is bad... really
[09:20] <jason_> yes it is
[09:21] <Kalisto> private_meta, whats the exact error output?
[09:21] <jason_> the only thing i get from automatix is chat programs and p2p programs
[09:21] <jason_> is all
[09:21] <Pupbuntoo> man, epstopdf totally locks my system up now ;(
[09:21] <IntuitiveNipple> clearzen: Yes I think so :) Could you compress the file using "gzip BIOS-F000.bin" please?
[09:21] <jason_> efvery thing else is in add/remove
[09:21] <IntuitiveNipple> clearzen: The *all* you need to do is upload it to a file-sharing service :)
[09:21] <IntuitiveNipple> ^then^
[09:22] <bruenig> Kalisto, the ignorant generally do
[09:22] <clearzen> IntuitiveNipple: sure just give me a sec
[09:22] <sileni> hello, i'am using ubuntu edgy and i want to install the plugin to display applets in a webpage but it states i cant and dont have jre so i installed jre and made a symlink between the plugin and plugin section in mozilla...but it still does not work
[09:22] <cr3_> i'm trying to configure using 'pwnconfig' and after tests is says "select (1-n):" what am i  supposed to select/type there?!
[09:22] <wols_> sileni: amd64?
[09:22] <Kalisto> bruenig, why?
[09:22] <IntuitiveNipple> clearzen: I very much appreciate your help - you're saving me having to wait until my laptop returns middle of next week, to do this :)
[09:22] <sileni> yes
[09:22] <sileni> silenyes
[09:22] <sileni> yes
[09:22] <private_meta> Kalisto: there is no output that i know of
[09:22] <bruenig> Kalisto, did you not see what ubotu said
[09:22] <Kalisto> private_meta, then what is the problem?
[09:23] <sdac> hi,  how can i check what my fiesty kernel is and how can i upgrade to newer one  ?    My SATA HD connected to old system through controller is running very slow due to bad scsi device driver.. maybe new kernel will have new driver
[09:23] <nikin> IntuitiveNipple: where do you want me to send the file?
[09:23] <macaronesico> i'm installing ubuntu 6(almost sure its 6) on an acer Travelmate 525 TE t starts repeating irq 15 disabling irq #15 nobody cared about the irqpoll option i tryed addiyng irqpoll at the end off the installation string but seems not to be right
[09:23] <sileni> wols_: yes
[09:23] <Kalisto> bruenig, you dont understand ubuntu enough to understand that its hated
[09:23] <jason_> what version of jre u have sileni
[09:23] <Kjellviz> Im trying to insall Logitech Quickcam Pro 5000 using the UVC driver from http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/, have also made a change in the makefile according to this page; https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCamerasLogitech , then i ran make and make install. So far ive understood that my driver is loaded, but i cant use it in any applications like amsn, kopete or ekiga. Anyone got an idea on where to start looking
[09:23] <Kjellviz> ?
[09:23] <IntuitiveNipple> nikin: Upload yo a file sharing service... do you want me to point you to one?
[09:23] <sileni> 1.6.0
[09:23] <sileni> jason_: 1.6.0
[09:23] <pietro10> Hey
[09:23] <Tru7h> Hey
[09:23] <bruenig> Kalisto, I don't understand ubuntu enough to understand that what is hated?
[09:23] <Tru7h> It's me again
[09:23] <jason_> it should work then
[09:23] <private_meta> Kalisto: it doesn't mount... it just doesn't work... the only output in demsg is "card inserted" and "registering new device"
[09:23] <clearzen> IntuitiveNipple: Is bzip ok? or do you want it gziped?
[09:23] <sileni> ..
[09:24] <sileni> it is not working :(
[09:24] <Dabaconboy> kjellviz: try this for your webcam http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/ its a guide to install ANYTHING
[09:24] <IntuitiveNipple> clearzen: Any will do :)
[09:24] <Kalisto> bruenig,automatix. show me an example where it "broke" a system
[09:24] <jason_> i dont konw whats wrong then maybe some one here can tell ya
[09:24] <IntuitiveNipple> I suggest uploading it to http://www.yousendit.com/
[09:24] <pietro10> Does anyone know how to get Lazarus on Ubuntu?
[09:24] <Kalisto> private_meta, well do you want a magic fary to mount it for you?
[09:24] <bruenig> Kalisto, it broke mine
[09:24] <nikin> IntuitiveNipple: yep.. point one out... or if you have 30 minutes.. i create my own webserver
[09:24] <Kalisto> bruenig, how?
[09:24] <Kjellviz> Dabaconboy: thanks im digging straigth into that!
[09:24] <sileni> jason_: wait should i use ns7-gcc29 or ns7
[09:24] <Dabaconboy> kjellviz: nps mate
[09:24] <IntuitiveNipple> clearzen: nikin: On yousendit set the email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>please
[09:25] <cr3_> i'm trying to configure using 'pwnconfig' and after tests is says "select (1-n):" what am i  supposed to select/type there?!
[09:25] <bruenig> Kalisto, I just went through the list of things to install and afterwards everytime I tried to aptitude remove anything, it would include nearly the entire system as being removed along with it
[09:25] <Kalisto> private_meta, find out what device its under /dev/hd or whatever then mount that
[09:25] <wols_> sileni: you need a 32bit browser. there is no 64bit sun java
[09:25] <private_meta> Kalisto: actually, i kinda do, 'cause there is no device that i've found that works when mounting it
[09:25] <jason_> kalisto automatix does have good programs but when u install all the media coedc from there it mess up the system it install codec u dont need
[09:25] <backblue> hi, it's there any way, to mount nfs volumes, without editing by hand, /etc/fstab?
[09:25] <sileni> wols_: what do you mean by that
[09:25] <sileni> wols_: what am i doing wrong ?
[09:25] <clearzen> IntuitiveNipple: If you want I can rsync it to you
[09:26] <pietro10> blackblue: as in Windows volumes?
[09:26] <jonaskoelker> backblue: the `mount' command?
[09:26] <wols_> sileni: I mean there is not 64bit java from sun, period
[09:26] <Tru7h> Here's my problem. I booted up a live CD of Fiesty, and I found out that it will only boot in safe graphics mode and it won't work with my LCD screen at all. It will only work in safe graphics on my old CRT. If I have my LCE in my monitor displays a "Cannot display this video mode" error. Any way I can fix that?
[09:26] <bruenig> Kalisto, the theoretical problems with it are glaring, that it forces yes on every answer, that it doesn't give you output to know what is going on just in case its automatic yes on the first option instead of picking the correct or better one breaks something
[09:26] <IntuitiveNipple> clearzen: Join me in #TJ
[09:26] <backblue> pietro10:  no, i want to mount, everytime i start.
[09:26] <sileni> wols_: ..am i using 64? im so lost i thought iam running 32 bit computer
[09:26] <pietro10> Tru7th: I had a different problem with my LCD
[09:26] <Kalisto> bruenig, you cant read scripts?
[09:26] <backblue> but yes, like windows volumes
[09:26] <wols_> sileni: I asked you are you running amd64 and you said yes
[09:26] <pietro10> !ntfs | backblue
[09:26] <ubotu> backblue: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[09:26] <backblue> jonathaN: ?? i want a gui.
[09:26] <nikin> pietro: download from sourceforge and install
[09:26] <backblue> pietro10: not NTFS, NFS!
[09:27] <pietro10> o
[09:27] <pietro10> then that isn't windows
[09:27] <sileni> wols_: well there is a thing on my laptop that says amd..i thought that was it ..this laptop is like 4 years old
[09:27] <backblue> no its not.
[09:27] <bruenig> Kalisto, I could read it initially, now it is so modular that it is near impossible, but you have to realize that there are often times when you install something that if it conflicts with something on your system, that you have 3 or 4 different ways to go about doing it. It just picks the first one, you can't detect that through the script
[09:27] <Kalisto> private_meta, ok do this for me. unplug the device, plug it in and copy the message to www.rafb.net/paste
[09:27] <pietro10> Do a search in synaptic for nfs
[09:27] <pietro10> or network file system
[09:28] <sdfasdfawef> any idea when thunderbird 2 is going to make it into the repositories?
[09:28] <ph8> sorry - i think i got disconnected - does anyone know a way of 'indexing' all your drives so that they are added to /etc/fstab for mounting on boot automagically?
[09:28] <private_meta> Kalisto: the one in dmesg?
[09:28] <_Codeman_> I'm using curlftpfs to mount my ftp account, I put the command in my init.d but it doesn't seem to have run (not really sure) and when I sudo it, the directory that it's supposed to mount to ends up gone... doesn't exist anymore :/
[09:28] <nikin> IntuitiveNipple: i sent it..
[09:28] <wols_> ph8: no. you simply have to edit /etc/fstab
[09:28] <Kalisto> private_meta, yes
[09:28] <bruenig> ph8, you need to add them yourself, unless you have an enormous amount of them, a script or something else would be kind of a waste
[09:28] <private_meta> Kalisto: actually, it's just two lines
[09:28] <ph8> just wondered :-) thx
[09:28] <pietro10> OK, so I am on sourceforge
[09:29] <Kalisto> private_meta, ok what are they?
[09:29] <wols_> clearzen: nothing in /etc/init.d/ is run. ever. to run it you need a symlink from some runlevel (rcX.d) back to init.d
[09:29] <pietro10> Is there any way to add the debs to the apt-get sources so I can use update manager on them?
[09:29] <wols_> _codeman_: nothing in /etc/init.d/ is run. ever. to run it you need a symlink from some runlevel (rcX.d) back to init.d
[09:29] <private_meta> Kalisto: as i said before, pcmcia card inserted in slot 0, and registered new device, pcmcia0.0
[09:29] <nikin> pietro: download fp-alldeb.tar and the lazarus deb
[09:29] <wols_> private_meta: is dmesg displaying anything?
[09:29] <Tru7h> I got it working. I just plugged in my LCD after I booted
[09:29] <Tru7h> It's good now
[09:29] <pietro10> Yes, but I want to use updatemanager on them so I need to add it to the list of repositories
[09:30] <Tru7h> If I install it will I have the same problem when I boot up?
[09:30] <eXpod> hello, is the add/remove package program thingy supposed to drop to around 3000 B/s?
[09:30] <wols_> eXpod: no
[09:30] <wols_> eXpod: it uses simple http or ftp.
[09:30] <PurpZeY> Tru7h: IMO, it's probably better to troubleshoot it now...just my take. then once you install, the fix is easy.
[09:30] <pietro10> eXpod: Go to System > Administration > Software Sources
[09:30] <private_meta> ok k
[09:30] <IntuitiveNipple> nikin: Thank you... I'll let you know when I've got it :)
[09:30] <private_meta> wols_, Kalisto: http://nopaste.info/275f1a9e99.html
[09:30] <_Codeman_> I got a lot of rc*.d's :/
[09:30] <pietro10> From the list at the bottom, choose the server closest to use
[09:30] <nikin> pietro: asfar as i know there is no debian repo for lazarus
[09:30] <eXpod> that sucks, it'll go for 60k then drops to 3k for long periods of time
[09:31] <Ares|Work> Hi, if i wrote a application how could i mkae it so it can be adding to the repositories?

[09:31] <wols_> private_meta: lspcmcia
[09:32] <wols_> Ares|Work: you need to make a .deb package out of it
[09:32] <pietro10> Should I use the fpc in the Universe or on SourceForge?
[09:32] <BlueBird22> nickrud - hi you there
[09:32] <Ares|Work> wols_: how would i go about doing that?
[09:32] <_Codeman_> wols_: to which rc*.d to I symlink?

[09:33] <nikin> pietro10: both plaaces have 2.04 as stable.. but i think the soureforge version is better couse it has not only FPC but a lot of othe stuff to
[09:33] <jason_> <Dabaconboy have u boot it in safe graphice mode
[09:33] <wols_> _Codeman_: run runlevel
[09:33] <pietro10> usr_rob: go to System > Administration > Users and Groups
[09:33] <wols_> it will tell you your current ont

[09:33] <Dabaconboy> yep same error message on all modes except memory check
[09:33] <pietro10> Select your name from the list, click Edit, and open the Privledges tab
[09:33] <nikin> pietro10: if in the universe repo there will be a newer version it will automatically upgrade the soureceforge one..
[09:34] <neun> wols_ u were the guy that helped me, thanks for the hint those -beta drivers work
[09:34] <wols_> private_meta: thereis notghing recongized. no device
[09:34] <jason_> what kind of cpu do u have
[09:34] <pietro10> And then enable your user to use anything that has CD drive in it
[09:34] <BlueBird22> can any one help me with my modem? i just ran scanModem. (i have lucent/agere winmodem), i have the results now. what next?
[09:34] <usr_rob> pietro10: i have checked all there it won't help. i did chgrp robert /dev/sg0 , but it did not work either
[09:34] <_Codeman_> wols_: N 2
[09:34] <Kalisto> private_meta, not sure but try aptituding: pcmcia-cs
[09:34] <_Codeman_> so rc2.d?
[09:34] <pietro10> sudo chgrp robert /dev/sd0
[09:34] <pietro10> Or better yet sudo chgrp robert /dev/sd*
[09:34] <b0wlman> you learn so much from just reading :)
[09:34] <b0wlman> Cheer's people im learning fast
[09:34] <usr_rob> pietro10: i forgott to write sudo in here, of course i did :)
[09:35] <wols_> _Codeman_: so you have runlevel 2 as usual
[09:35] <Kalisto> private_meta, sorry no do: pcmciautils
[09:35] <private_meta> wols_: the card is inserted when i did lspcmcia
[09:35] <Kalisto> pcmcia-cs is old private_meta
[09:35] <jason_> <Dabaconboy what is ur cpu
[09:35] <eXpod> argh, Add/Remove Applications d/ls so slow but browser d/ls go at full speed. what can be wrong?
[09:35] <pietro10> OK, then /dev/sd0 is not your DVD drive
[09:35] <private_meta> Kalisto: i already have it installed
[09:35] <wols_> private_meta: I know. but look at the 2nd line in your paste
[09:35] <pietro10> Type mount
[09:35] <sajt> hello
[09:35] <BlueBird22> ?
[09:35] <nikin> hali sajt :D
[09:35] <IntuitiveNipple> clearzen: nikin: Fantastic, thanks for your help, I have what I need now
[09:36] <usr_rob> pietro10: i get error message, cannot access /dev/sg0 , check user rights
[09:36] <wols_> eXpod: the repository at the other end is slow
[09:36] <clearzen> IntuitiveNipple: np
[09:36] <pietro10> Weird
[09:36] <_Codeman_> wols_: so I symlink to rc2.d?
[09:36] <macaronesico> can someone help me with the instalation of ubuntu 6 on a laptop; im receiving an error ide:failed iocide was:unknown
[09:36] <Dabaconboy> jason_: 1.4 athalon, 512 mb ram, 60gb hdd, 256mb graphics.........
[09:36] <usr_rob> pietro10: chmod 755 ?
[09:36] <wols_> _Codeman_: yes. but with the proper S?? in front of course. depending when you want to run it on bootup
[09:36] <pietro10> try that if it doesn't work then I don't know what will
[09:36] <sajt> I have a benq-siemens EF 81 mobile phone. I connected this width an USB cable. How can I copy some mp3 to the phone?
[09:36] <usr_rob> pietro10: okey, thx mate
[09:37] <wols_> sajt: does it act like a mass storage usb device?
[09:37] <pietro10> did it work?
[09:37] <sajt> wols_: I see it with the lsusb, but not mounted
[09:37] <matman> can anyone tell me what the difference between the 32 and 64 bit versions of ubuntu are?
[09:37] <_Codeman_> wols_: Thanks! I didn't even notice that :D
[09:37] <nikin> sajt: can that phone behave like an usbkey?
[09:37] <sajt> nikin: I think no
[09:37] <sajt> How can I mount this?
[09:38] <wols_> sajt: check dmesg. what does it say about it?
[09:38] <private_meta> wols_: i know it worked on win before i had to install ubuntu... i don't really know what i can do there...
[09:38] <Madsy> How can I schedule fsck to run at the next boot in Ubuntu Feisty?
[09:38] <Plankton> matman, the 64 version is for AMD Athlon64 and Intel's 64 Bit CPUs
[09:38] <nikin> sajt : does that phone have a memory card?
[09:38] <Kalisto> private_meta, maybe its not supported?
[09:38] <jason_> Dabaconboy go here  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=417842&highlight=BusyBox+v1.1.3+%28Debian1%3A1.1.3-3ubuntu3%29+Built+in+shell+%28ash%29
[09:38] <sajt> yes this have a memory card
[09:38] <Dabaconboy> thanks
[09:38] <wols_> private_meta: lots of shitty hardware has windows drivers but not linux ones...
[09:39] <ikonia> wols_: watch your language
[09:39] <BlueBird22> helo..
[09:39] <b0wlman> Hello
[09:39] <pietro10> hi again b0wlman
[09:39] <Kalisto> private_meta, what the manufacturer model?
[09:39] <clearzen> !botsnack
[09:39] <ubotu> Yum! Err, I mean, APT!
[09:39] <matman> Plankton, will either one work either one?  eg will 32 work on my new c2d macbook?
[09:39] <Kalisto> of the pcmcia device not the card
[09:39] <usr_rob> pietro10: working now
[09:39] <flowingfire> hi everybody... my computer says "no boot sector found please reboot."  What do I do?
[09:39] <cox377> can anyone recommend a decent .rar extracter with a progress bar?
[09:39] <wols_> matman: yes.
[09:39] <imbecile> hey guys, how can i make conky clear? and is there a way to disable window decoration for it  as well?
[09:39] <sajt> wols_: usb 1-4: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 3
[09:39] <pietro10> ha ha u/b/o/t/u
[09:39] <jrib> !rar > cox377 (see the private message from ubotu)
[09:39] <private_meta> Kalisto: i don't know, it came with the laptop, it's built-in
[09:39] <sajt> usb 1-4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[09:39] <nikin> pietro10: are you intrested in the laz stuff? or you made it?
[09:39] <wols_> sajt: nothing like sda or such?
[09:40] <b0wlman> Connection = bad. im just hear to learn loads of stuff. from reading. best way to build up a OS knowledge IMO
[09:40] <Plankton> matman, i don't know which CPU is in the new mac Book
[09:40] <sajt> wols_ ohci_hcd
[09:40] <cox377> jrib: cheers mate
[09:40] <pietro10> Interested in it. I tried running it on my Mac OS X but it failed with a missing library that I KNOW is installed
[09:40] <Plankton> i would choose 32 bit
[09:40] <wols_> sajt: if not, it's not a mass storage device and probably not supported at all. did you have to use special benq software on windows to copy stuff over?
[09:40] <pietro10> So I am going to do it here
[09:40] <Plankton> Works under 64. too
[09:40] <matman> wols_ i read some nasty rumors that an over heating problems wit the 64 bit ubuntu
[09:40] <pietro10> So what is the dpkg command to install it all?
[09:40] <pietro10> I got the fpc-all
[09:40] <sajt> wols_: I do not have the software
[09:40] <wols_> matman: that makes no sense. overheating is a hardware failure
[09:41] <sajt> And first I like to use with ubuntu
[09:41] <matman> Plankton, c2d= core 2 duo= a 64 bit processor
[09:41] <clearzen> flowingfire: It sounds like a problem with the MBR
[09:41] <clearzen> !MBR
[09:41] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[09:41] <wols_> sajt: I didn't ask you that. I asked you if it does need special software on windows?
[09:41] <nikin> pietro: extraxt the tar file .... then cd in the deb directory and do "sudo dpkg -i *.deb"
[09:41] <H4XcOr> hi for all
[09:41] <pietro10> OK, that -i was what I needed
[09:41] <sajt> wols_: I think yes
[09:41] <Plankton> matman, i would choose 32 bit
[09:41] <pietro10> I'll check back with you when everything is hunkydory
[09:41] <matman> wols_ right, but the software tells the hardware when to turn that fan on to prevent overheating.
[09:41] <Plankton> works under 64, too....
[09:41] <wols_> sajt: if it does, then there probably is no direct support in ubuntu
[09:42] <Kalisto> private_meta, lspci -v | less and paste that
[09:42] <sajt> :(
[09:42] <private_meta> wols_: that's why i like windows... 99% of the stuff i had just worked... with ubuntu 50% of the stuff works if you're lucky, 25% you have almost no chance of getting it working and 25%... ah, screw that..
[09:42] <hc233> arklinux
[09:42] <Plankton> matman, I don't think that the useing of 64 bit is so big :)
[09:42] <Tiradin> Can anyone help me with Amarok?
[09:42] <wols_> matman: as a precaution all proper hardware runs the fan always unless the software tells it to shut off. or it is automatically controlled altogehter. the worst that can happen is faster battery drain since the OS doesn't help with powermanagement. that's all
[09:42] <joejoe300> hey again
[09:42] <flowingfire> clearzen: thanks for the ubotu info...
[09:43] <jason_> wel guys i be back later i hagoing to try some stuff ok
[09:43] <jason_> godd bye have fun
[09:43] <matman> Plankton, what does that mean?
[09:43] <clearzen> flowingfire: np, if you have other questions I'll be hanging out for a while
[09:43] <Kalisto> private_meta, its free for one.
[09:43] <wols_> private_meta: that is no failure of ubuntu or linux. failure of the hardware maker not writing drivers like they do for windows
[09:43] <Tiradin> Anyone?
[09:43] <ultm8> hey hey
[09:43] <matman> wols_ oh, ok, thanks
[09:43] <TakeOut{u}> private_meta, blame windows and their monopoly for alot of that
[09:43] <private_meta> Kalisto: i get windows for free
[09:43] <private_meta> Kalisto: legally
[09:43] <joejoe300> wols_: I just realized when I got into windows, if I fixmbr, I won't be able to get into linux
[09:43] <Tiradin> TakeOut{u}: here here :P
[09:43] <Kalisto> private_meta, how that?
[09:44] <eXpod> school?
[09:44] <wols_> joejoe300: as I told you
[09:44] <Plankton> matman, it means, that the software in Ubuntu isn't optimized for 64 completely
[09:44] <pietro10> OK, so it's asking me whether or not I install the one from the archive or the one in Universe
[09:44] <private_meta> Kalisto: msdnaa students licensing
[09:44] <cox377> i've copied a command into a text file, is there anyway to make that file executable upon opening?
[09:44] <matman> wols_ is there any speed difference that you know of? if not, then why did they make a 64 bit version? lol
[09:44] <sajt> wols_: Then I must to buy a card reader for it :( Thank for help
[09:44] <joejoe300> wols_: so I need to make sure linux is setup properly before I mess with the other OS
[09:44] <Kalisto> private_meta, and what will you do when your now longer a student?
[09:44] <nikin> pietro: do the one from the archive
[09:44] <wols_> joejoe300: you can edit your boot.ini to hand over to grub tho. but that is outside the scope of #ubuntu
[09:44] <TakeOut{u}> private_meta : we're so sorry
[09:44] <matman> Plankton, ah that is what i was getting at
[09:44] <pietro10> cox377: enter terminal and type "chmod +x <FILENAME>"
[09:44] <Plankton> okay^^
[09:44] <wols_> joejoe300: just keep a livecd or rescue cd around
[09:44] <KevinOman> did you know there's an ubuntu studio version out?
[09:44] <BlueBird22> can any one help me with my modem? i just ran scanModem. (i have lucent/agere winmodem), i have the results now. what next?
[09:44] <KevinOman> oops
[09:44] <pietro10> Or add .sh at the end in Nautilus
[09:45] <cox377> pietro10: cheers, let me give it a go
[09:45] <Kalisto> KevinOman, you lived in Oman?
[09:45] <_Codeman_> ok, no luck with the curlftpfs still, the directory doesn't exist :/
[09:45] <pietro10> Go to http://www.linmodem.com/ to see the instructions
[09:45] <joejoe300> wols_: when I type df in a console, i don't see my linux drive for some reaosn
[09:45] <Kalisto> KevinOman, ubuntu studio looks sweet
[09:45] <joejoe300> it doesnt list anything that is mounted on /boot
[09:45] <BlueBird22> pietro10 i got the scanmodem from the site. i dont know what next to do
[09:45] <matman> Plankton, i was wondering if there was a real difference b/n the 2, but i see that the 64 isn't as developed as of right now
[09:45] <wols_> joejoe300: unpossible
[09:45] <Kalisto> joejoe300, is it mounted?
[09:46] <wols_> joejoe300: you booted from it, didn't you?
[09:46] <joejoe300> yeah im booted from it
[09:46] <Kalisto> joejoe300, try fdisk -l;
[09:46] <wols_> then it is there
[09:46] <Plankton> matman, that#s what I wanted to say :D
[09:46] <wols_> joejoe300: what does the "mounted on" columnn say? any "/" there?
[09:46] <private_meta> hmm
[09:46] <joejoe300> wols_: there is a /
[09:46] <cox377> the trouble is with linux, it's like one big toy and you learn something new every day.. never get anythng else done lol
[09:46] <KevinOman> Kalisto: I know I have not a dvd though
[09:46] <joejoe300> for /dev/sda1
[09:46] <KevinOman> lol
[09:46] <pietro10> It's somewhere here
[09:46] <wols_> joejoe300: that is the drive
[09:47] <pietro10> http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/#basicdoc
[09:47] <joejoe300> but when I was installing ubuntu, sda was my internal
[09:47] <joejoe300> sdb was external
[09:47] <matman> Plankton, so does the 32 bit ubuntu still utilizes both cores in the processor?
[09:47] <private_meta> Kalisto: http://nopaste.info/4c00e7a38a.html <-- those are the two devices i found with PCI
[09:47] <joejoe300> could they have switched?
[09:47] <wols_> matman: yes
[09:47] <joejoe300> plus, i don't see an sdb at all
[09:47] <clearzen> matman: If you run the generic kernel it does
[09:47] <wols_> joejoe300: yes the can. udev is a prime suspect for thios
[09:47] <joejoe300> but my internal drive is visible (I can see files)
[09:47] <BlueBird22> pietro10 thx
[09:47] <clearzen> matman: You can tell with cat /dev/cpuinfo
[09:48] <Plankton> matman, taht is a Question, I can't answer...sorry
[09:48] <Tru7h> I have a question about the partitioner
[09:48] <matman> wols_, clearzen, thanks
[09:48] <clearzen> matman: sorry cat /proc/cpuinfo
[09:48] <pietro10> cox377: that's the trouble with unix
[09:48] <Stormx2> How might I find how many lines a certain command returns?
[09:48] <wols_> cox377: a ton of webservers on the internet run on linux
[09:48] <Kalisto> private_meta, and what are you sticking in the pcmcia slot?
[09:48] <pietro10> To get something done, you have to go to DOS' great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandpa
[09:48] <wols_> cox377: so there's a lot of work done with it
[09:48] <private_meta> Kalisto: nothing at the moment...
[09:49] <wols_> Stormx2:  | wc -l
[09:49] <Tru7h> I have an 80GB drive with an NTFS file system. It has 35GB free. I want to take about 25 GBs of that and partition is into an ext3 file system to install ubuntu on. Can I do that with the partitioner in the live CD install thing?
[09:49] <private_meta> Kalisto: the normal pcmcia slot has nothing in it, the card reader got the card in it
[09:49] <Kalisto> private_meta, then hows it not working if your not using it?
[09:49] <joejoe300> wols_: so I typed "grub-install /dev/sda1" and i got
[09:49] <clearzen> pietro10: Troll much?
[09:49] <joejoe300> cannot remove: permission denied
[09:49] <TakeOut{u}> matman, it depends on whether you're using an SMP kernel or not
[09:49] <pietro10> Tru7th: YES
[09:49] <wols_> Tru7h: yes
[09:49] <wols_> Tru7h: but defrag the windows drive first
[09:49] <pietro10> Just be sure to defragment the NTFS first
[09:49] <Kalisto> does the card reader work though pcmcia?
[09:49] <wols_> joejoe300: root prems needed
[09:49] <wols_> *perms
[09:49] <Tru7h> Okay. Do I have to do that that through windows?
[09:49] <wols_> Tru7h: yes
[09:49] <private_meta> Kalisto: yes, but it's built in... at least dmesg tells me that
[09:50] <pietro10> It's the ONLY way!
[09:50] <joejoe300> how do i relogin as root
[09:50] <joejoe300> when i set up ubuntu i only made one password
[09:50] <wols_> joejoe300: you don't. man sudo
[09:50] <matman> TakeOut{u} what is an SMP kernel?
[09:50] <PriceChild> !sudo | joejoe300
[09:50] <ubotu> joejoe300: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:50] <wols_> matman: one that can utilize more than one cpu or core
[09:50] <Tru7h> Okay, thanks Wols and pietro
[09:50] <clearzen> joejoe300: umm, logging in as root isn't recommended. But you can do it.
[09:50] <Kalisto> private_meta, when you stick the card in what does it say in /var/log/messages?
[09:50] <sajt> wols_: I heard about obex can I use this somehow for this phone?
[09:50] <matman> and the generic kernel is an SMP kernel, correct?
[09:51] <nikin> pietro10: any luck with laz?
[09:51] <mrvino> Does anyone know of a way I can tell Ubuntu to automatically shut down after the computer is idle for a certain amount of time?  (Note I want to shut the computer down completely, not sleep or hibernate)
[09:51] <arnoldk67> Hello, I'm rather new to Ubuntu. I have installed it on three computers. Now I have installed several additional packages on one machine. Do I have to install all the packages one by one on the other machines or is there a possibility to obtain al list of all packages and then use the list on the othes to install everything in one step?
[09:51] <TakeOut{u}> matman yes
[09:51] <wols_> sajt: pssibly
[09:51] <private_meta> what's the command for getting the last lines of a file?
[09:51] <sajt> wols_: But how?
[09:51] <pietro10> When it gets to the fpc core, dpkg is asking me if it should keep the Universe version or install the new one

[09:52] <pietro10> OK thanks
[09:52] <matman> TakeOut{u} great!! then what the heck is the 64 bit version for?? lol
[09:52] <private_meta> Kalisto: well, it tells you exactly the two last line i gave you from the dmesg, found, registered
[09:52] <TakeOut{u}> matman : uname -a will tell you what kernel, etc you are running
[09:52] <joejoe300> so i installed grub on sda1 (the drive where linux system is mounted I hope)
[09:52] <pietro10> So that is the "package maintainer"?
[09:52] <private_meta> LjL: ah... yeah.... thanks
[09:52] <joejoe300> installation finished. no error reported.
[09:52] <DarthVader> hello
[09:52] <Enselic__> joejoe300: you should install on sda iirc
[09:52] <pietro10> hello darth
[09:52] <Plankton> hi darthVader
[09:52] <TakeOut{u}> matman, the 64 bit version allows you to address alot more RAM, and run utilize your 64bit processor if you have one
[09:52] <joejoe300> but now it says "this is the contaents of the device map /boot/grub/device.map" / and now has /dev/sda and /dev/sdb
[09:52] <wols_> mrvino: the hard thing will be to dtermine when it has been idle enough. "shutdown"  can shutdown the PC easily
[09:53] <joejoe300> so now there are two drives showing?
[09:53] <nikin> pietro: yes
[09:53] <joejoe300> whats the best way to know which is which?
[09:53] <Kalisto> private_meta, and /var/log/syslog?
[09:53] <pietro10> ok thanks
[09:53] <clearzen> matman: 64 bit doesn't have up to date flash and a lot of programs are a pain to get running properly though
[09:53] <DarthVader> I have upgraded recently a PPC ubuntu 6.x to 7.04 but somehow g++-4.0 has vanished from it, and when I use adapt to look for it and I can't even see it listed as installable .... where can I find it?
[09:53] <TakeOut{u}> yeah, as clearzen said, it has problems, i wouldn't run it if i didn't have to
[09:53] <pietro10> I don't think gcc 4 is ready for PPC yet then
[09:53] <DarthVader> ".. when I use adept ..."
[09:53] <wols_> matman: pure ubuntu is fine on 64bit. but as soon as you need any proprietary software, flash, java, drivers. it's starts to be a pain

[09:54] <speedemonV12> can anyone help me with triple booting?
[09:54] <matman> it's just that all i have worked with is the 32 bit ver
[09:54] <TakeOut{u}> DarthVader, you could try apt-get install build-essentials

[09:56] <wols_> sivik: to edit fstab: yes
[09:56] <matman> wols_ i just neede more info, all of the forums were very uninformative b/c they were just arguing.  i needed personal experience

[09:57] <private_meta> Kalisto: any idea?
[09:57] <sphear1> whats your favourite game?
[09:57] <wols_> sivik: it's already there. but don't use spaces, and there needs to be a comma after iso9660
[09:57] <DarthVader> could it be that g++4.0 was moved to another repository?
[09:57] <speedemonV12> hey. im a newb, and im trying to install ubuntu on a triple boot machine.. where do i put the bootloader that comes with ubuntu? what partition?
[09:58] <Kalisto> private_meta, well i dont know. maybe your missing the correct modules. find out what model it is and google it
[09:58] <sivik> ok
[09:58] <Kalisto> private_meta, it seems its only mounted half
[09:58] <sphear1> speedemonV12, the installer works it all out for you
[09:58] <wols_> sivik: sorry. no comma missing.
[09:58] <matman> wols_ i did not say i was experienced, but i'm not new.  i'm just upgarding to a processor that i've never had to deal with before.  just because i don't know about things that i have never needed to deal with does not make me "new"
[09:58] <wols_> look at this: /dev/hdc        /media/cdrom0   iso9660 ro,user,noauto  0       0
[09:58] <wols_> similar to this but udf,iso9660 is right
[09:58] <joejoe300> wols_: sorry if this is a bit off topic, but if I copy menu.lst (grub) to c:\ (windows), and point boot.ini to this file by saying c:\menu.list="Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn" will that work?

[10:00] <wols_> joejoe300: looks ok. the important part is what to put in boot.ini
[10:01] <Pelo> ICQ, read up , it's been triggered before , ubotu doesn't repeat
[10:01] <joejoe300> wols_: but you said "no" when I asked about that line in boot.ini
[10:01] <sivik> wols_, what else should i try
[10:01] <wols_> speedemonV12: yes it's possible. but afaik ubuntu can't boot via EFI out of the box
[10:01] <wols_> joejoe300: you asked about menu.lst
[10:01] <joejoe300> i got it straight from the guide, except it seems that now grub uses menu.lst instead of grub.conf

[10:01] <ubotu> pietro10: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[10:01] <speedemonV12> sphear1: i checked the guides, and the guides all tell me to create partitions manually.. but i dont want to have to reinstall mac and windows.. i was going to create a third partition using ipartiton, and put ubuntu on it
[10:02] <speedemonV12> ubuntu's bootloader will recognize both osx and windows for me?
[10:02] <pietro10> yes i know that I'm just very happy that it works!
[10:02] <LjL> Ayabara: it isn't correct for two reasons at least (maybe mine is not really correct either, mind you)
[10:02] <Ayabara> LjL, I get "foo.zip" is not a directory
[10:02] <Ayabara> the same message I got for mine :-)
[10:02] <wols_> joejoe300: http://www.geocities.com/epark/linux/boot.ini.txt from that guide. do you see a menu.lst there? no, all you see is a grub stage1 bootsector in c:\linux.bin

[10:02] <LjL> Ayabara: first, you need to quote "*.zip", you can't just type it without quotation marks, because without quotation marks, it will be parsed by the *shell*, while you need *find* to parse it
[10:02] <Pelo> speedemonV12, when you instal it grub will scan available hdd for other os and make the apropriate entries in the boot menu
[10:03] <nikin> pietro :D
[10:03] <wols_> Pelo: not ona mac
[10:03] <pietro10> I think Windows Vista is a copycat of beryl too
[10:03] <private_meta> hmm
[10:03] <sphear1> speedemonV12: yeah, if you make sure you just have a spare chunk of contunious hard drive the installer will create a partition. Your other installes shouldnt be affected.
[10:03] <matman> Pelo, this looks interesting.  Thanks, i appreciate your help very much!
[10:03] <wols_> Pelo: macs cannot use grub
[10:03] <tru_`z24> WHen playing a video, i was asked to download codecs for totem, i did, and know the video plays, but the colors are a bit off.  Any known fix for this?
[10:03] <tru_`z24> know = now
[10:03] <pietro10> wols_: yes they can
[10:03] <LjL> Ayabara: second "mv ." after xargs would make xargs execute "mv . <filename>", while you want the other way round
[10:03] <private_meta> any idea what it means when i use cardctl and it says "segmentation fault(core dumped)"
[10:03] <wols_> pietro10: macs use EFI
[10:03] <pietro10> EFI is a firmware. EFI = BIOS
[10:03] <sivik> wols_, what am i doing wrong now
[10:03] <wols_> pietro10: since when can grub use EFI
[10:03] <PriceChild> pietro10, EFI is not a bios
[10:04] <wols_> EFI is the way a intel mac boots
[10:04] <LjL> Ayabara: as for it not being a directory - are you actually quoting *.zip?
[10:04] <pietro10> 1) Install rEFIt 2) Install Linux but use grub 3) It works.
[10:04] <Ayabara> LjL, yes. I ran the line you gave me
[10:04] <Pelo> later folks

[10:05] <BlueBird22> ltmodem-8.26b1tar.gz       2.6.n without SMP support
[10:05] <wols_> kazim59: it is not safe
[10:05] <thekidrio> kazim59, sortta a toss up I think
[10:05] <thekidrio> I have had zero problems though
[10:05] <kazim59> LjL: but still automatix ppl insist its safe..while we keep insisting its unsafe.. kind of war?
[10:05] <_Codeman_> I'm still having trouble getting curlftpfs to mount properly, every time I try to mount the directory I mount to disappears :/
[10:05] <pietro10> It lets you boot into Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, FreeDOS, and other OSs while using Mac OS X
[10:05] <LjL> kazim59: ours is the official Ubuntu support channel. their site is just their site, they're not officially linked with ubuntu.
[10:05] <joejoe300> wols_: in File Browser (when I click computer) there is a tab under places called disk

[10:06] <pietro10> joejoe300: type mount
[10:06] <wols_> joejoe300: I'm not at your PC: I don't know. if the drive is mounted: run mount
[10:06] <sivik> Heptofite, ndiswrapper is easy to install, use a package manager (apt-get, aptitude, synatic)
[10:06] <kazim59> but i m not gonna use something i dnt get #ubuntu support.. (genius ppl in here.. )
[10:06] <bigmo1> use source also
[10:07] <LazyAngel> is anyone using svn version of amsn with antialiasing and tcl/tk 8.5? the tls wont work for me :(
[10:07] <wols_> kazim59: the important part is to stay away from all drivers in automatix
[10:07] <LjL> kazim59: maybe - at the very very least, it's [more and more]  unneeded, as we have always had the fine packaging system called "APT", and now we also have facilities for installing restricted drivers. so at best, it's redundant; at neither-best-nor-worst, it just keeps you from learning things that you will have to learn *anyway* sooner or later, to use Ubuntu; at worst, it breaks your system
[10:07] <wols_> LazyAngel: make a proper error report. "it doesn't work" isn't that
[10:07] <speedemonV12> pietro10: is it a problem that i already have os x and windows installed via bootcamp?
[10:07] <private_meta> ok... if i got an experimental driver for my sd-card reader... how can i find out how to install it? (linux beginner)
[10:07] <joejoe300> wols_: this is odd.. I dont see hdb anywhere, only hda (internal) and sda (external)
[10:08] <pietro10> No, that's not a problem
[10:08] <joejoe300> shouldnt it be hda and hdb
[10:08] <pietro10> But you can't use the Boot Camp loader to run other OSs
[10:08] <pietro10> You need rEFIt
[10:08] <wols_> joejoe300: what is hdb supposed to be?
[10:08] <Heptofite> sivik, what is the package name?
[10:08] <speedemonV12> right
[10:08] <wols_> joejoe300: no
[10:08] <joejoe300> wols_: external drive
[10:08] <speedemonV12> so if i install refit, it will come before the bootcamp loader?
[10:08] <wols_> joejoe300: sda is your external drive
[10:08] <LazyAngel> wols_: amsn ask to download tls, but fails. and i have tried to extract it manually to ~/.amsn/plugins/tls1.5 but without luck
[10:08] <speedemonV12> or is there something i need to do manually?

[10:11] <b^j> does anyone know how to specify the kernel version you want to install in the preseed file for an ubuntu install?
[10:11] <pietro10> You should have gotten a pm from ubotu (don't reply - he's' a bot)
[10:11] <speedemonV12> pietro10: so if i install refit, it will come before the bootcamp loader? or do i need to do something manually?
[10:11] <novato_br> what is the nautilus?
[10:11] <pietro10> b^j: it's always a BAD idea to use an old kernel
[10:11] <lagrimo> is there any program/plugin/whatever available to control/operate ubuntu/linux???
[10:11] <pietro10> novato_br: it is the default file browser in GNOME, the desktop
[10:11] <Sapote> hello!!! how many processors support ubuntu SMP 16? 32? 64? 128?
[10:11] <novato_br> gente oq eh nautilus?
[10:11] <joejoe300> wols_: where can i just save this linux.bin file so I can email it to myself and just copy it in windows?
[10:11] <kazim59> LjL: wow.. that sounds cool
[10:11] <harry_> if I do Ctrl+Alt+F1 and then do  'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop' that will completely turn off the gui, right?

[10:12] <eXpod> is it possible to enable 1440x900 resolution?

[10:12] <wols_> joejoe300: you can't. it must be YOUR linux.bin aka grub stage1
[10:12] <wols_> can't be anoyne elses
[10:12] <b^j> pietro10: i want 2.6.20-15 instead of -16 as there are vmware-player modules for it, also these are systems that are going to be used not on the internet and for 2 days
[10:12] <pietro10> Sorry, that was a command to ubotu
[10:12] <pietro10> lagrimo: just go to System > Administration
[10:12] <LjL> b^j: are you sure there aren't vmware modules for -16? i think i saw them being installed, here
[10:12] <pietro10> b^j: it should still work
[10:12] <joejoe300> wols_: sorry I wasn't clear... I just mean, what can I type for the location of the output file
[10:12] <d> hey all. I'm having trouble configuring dual monitors. can anyone lend me some help?
[10:13] <wols_> sivik: your mount command is wrong
[10:13] <SanityInAnarchy> Does openntpd work for anyone (trying to sync to another openntpd server)?
[10:13] <joejoe300> im really confused by linux filesystem
[10:13] <wols_> joejoe300: output of what
[10:13] <sivik> wols_, what wrong with it
[10:13] <pietro10> !search dual monitor

[10:13] <LjL> !pm the bot
[10:13] <lagrimo> and then pietro10 ??
[10:13] <ubotu> Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[10:13] <joejoe300> wols_ the command which generates the grub stage1 i guess
[10:13] <wols_> sivik: and now go away. I don't like to be insulted
[10:13] <sivik> wols_, is there some other way it needs to be accomplished
[10:13] <harry_> LjL: So is there a way to put my computer into a mode where it's queiter eg, no fan, but still on (not doing anything)
[10:13] <pietro10> All your instructions are there

[10:13] <zyclop> I'm running EMACS under X and the fontsize is too small. What can I do?
[10:13] <joejoe300> but where do i put it
[10:13] <wols_> of=~/linux.bin
[10:13] <b^j> pietro10: no, they wouldn't allow me to start vmware, i can check if my caching apt-server isn't pulling down updates properly but it has always worked in the past
[10:13] <joejoe300> will i see it if i just put /linux.bin
[10:14] <lagrimo> sorry, the correct question is: is there any program/plugin/whatever available to control/operate ubuntu/linux over voice??
[10:14] <mobutu> does virtualbox work
[10:14] <wols_> you put it in C:\ under windows
[10:14] <LjL> harry_: you can turn off the HD's. turning *off* the fans is not recommended at all, you may (if the hardware allows that) make them run slower.
[10:14] <LjL> harry_: what's your CPU?
[10:14] <wols_> windows needs to access it to use it, not linux
[10:14] <joejoe300> k here goes nothin
[10:14] <joejoe300> do i need to run it with root access?
[10:14] <joejoe300> i would guess

[10:15] <lagrimo> is there any program/plugin/whatever available to control/operate ubuntu/linux???
[10:15] <jrib> lagrimo: what does that mean?
[10:15] <d> I've got two LCD monitors, both are suggest res @ 1440x900, but when I set up xorg.conf to use this res, only one monitor works.
[10:16] <lagrimo> i would like to plug in a micro phone and handle my system
[10:16] <lagrimo> open apps etc.
[10:16] <pietro10> Everything is in System > Preferences and System > Administration

[10:17] <annihilus> does anyone know how to re-enable the menu bar in amarok after it has been disabled, I seem to have configured myself into a whole
[10:17] <lagrimo> well. I want to control my sytem with commands that i give through a microphone
[10:17] <joejoe300> wols_: cool so I have linux.bin
[10:17] <tomy-> hi anyone who can help me to install quicktime
[10:17] <lagrimo> my configuration is well
[10:18] <joejoe300> copied to ntfs drive
[10:18] <kazim59> hey.. i've intel accelarated graphics... on windows i've got a software bundled with intel motherboard that allows me to change special settings about my hardware...  is that possible on linux?
[10:18] <spudz> anyone have problems getting raw DV video off Sony Handycam with kino?
[10:18] <joejoe300> so I should just be able to edit boot.ini, fixmbr on internal drive, and should be cool?
[10:18] <jrib> !quicktime > tomy- (see the private message from ubotu)
[10:18] <lagrimo> is there already something available or do i have to develop this??
[10:18] <LjL> harry_: ok. try "man hdparm", and search for "standby". there are a few options to let you make the drive turn off on inactivity. you can make the options stay by editing /etc/hdparm.conf (though it's possible that your HD will just remember them).  as for fans, install "lm-sensors": it contains a "fancontrol" script which can control fan speeds based on sensor-detected temperatures. you need to run "pwmconfig" to configure it, and you should also make sure
[10:18] <wols_> joejoe300: before you reboot: keep a live cd handy. that's vrey important
[10:18] <LjL> you have working temperature sensors by running "sensors-detect"
[10:18] <joejoe300> wols_: thanks, i got one right here
[10:19] <joejoe300> appreciate it
[10:19] <joejoe300> hopefully im on my way
[10:19] <joejoe300> to learning linux
[10:19] <wols_> lagrimo: there is not good free speech reocgnition. ther eis ViaVoice for Linux tho, but it costs money. also: you cannot develop a speech rec engine
[10:19] <LjL> harry_: also, no init.d script is provided with fancontrol, so you will have to run it manually or make your own init.d script. BE CAREFUL anyway, since if fancontrol crashes or gets killed for any reason, and doesn't manage to restore full-speed for your fans, hardware damage may occur.
[10:19] <^Pho[T] on> guys, anybody tried to recompile the kernel for 2.6.20-16 and succeeded?
[10:19] <lagrimo> i will do ;)
[10:19] <lagrimo> at least i will try to do
[10:20] <^Pho[T] on> infiband gives a compile error
[10:20] <pietro10> ^Pho[T] on: you just need to run software update; it will do that for you

[10:29] <DrEddy> hi
[10:30] <zeroflag> something keeps killing my network connection.
[10:30] <mammoth> hola atodos
[10:30] <zeroflag> and that's a rather bad thing for a SERVER!
[10:30] <DrEddy> :-D zeroflag! :C
[10:30] <DrEddy> :D
[10:30] <zeroflag> any idea what might be the cause?
[10:31] <wols_> zeroflag: you give a rather bad problem description too. so I guess you and the server are even
[10:31] <DrEddy> ISP?
[10:31] <DrEddy> I need help
[10:31] <zeroflag> it's local.
[10:31] <_Codeman_> Can anyone help me install LUFS
[10:31] <zeroflag> it's currently in my VM...
[10:31] <zeroflag> I don't really know what cause it.
[10:31] <wols_> DrEddy: until you state your problem you won't get any
[10:31] <Pensacola> what did I do?
[10:31] <zeroflag> I got the VNC connection to work, started azureus, seconds later I got disconnected.
[10:32] <DrEddy> I got a problem with my Wireless card
[10:32] <DrEddy> wols: I know
[10:32] <zeroflag> everything dead, can't SSH, can't VNC, nothing.
[10:32] <zeroflag> just times out.
[10:32] <mammoth> hola
[10:32] <DrEddy> wols: it just takes me some time to write it down...
[10:32] <zeroflag> when I control the server itself, it tells me that it still is connected - but it can't really do anything.
[10:33] <DrEddy> I have Intel Pro Wireless 3945 ABG, so it is supported by restricted driver
[10:33] <wols_> it is supported if you get the firmware
[10:33] <zeroflag> it can ping itself through eth0, but it can't ping anything else...
[10:33] <DrEddy> what firmware?
[10:33] <wols_> zeroflag: it's a vmware problem
[10:34] <wols_> looks like their LAN service is broken/crashed
[10:34] <wols_> DrEddy: it is supported
[10:34] <schilling> can anyone tell me why i can reach only ~32kbyte/sec inside my lan when transferring to my proftpd, using flash fxp, but reaching some mbytes from another machine running filezilla?
[10:34] <DrEddy> fine, then why it doesn't work, I can't see it in the connection window
[10:35] <FlashNet> hey does ubuntu server have postfix?
[10:36] <kitche> FlashNet: you can install it
[10:36] <nuu> FlashNet: sudo apt-get install postfix
[10:36] <wols_> schilling: flashxp throttling?
[10:36] <cr3_> hi, i've just finished configuring FANCONTROL, and it changes cpu fan speed every 10 seconds. I wonder if it won't exhaust fan, or damage it in some way?  is it secure to do that? SORRY for my ENglish, - I'm not native English speaker.
[10:37] <wols_> DrEddy: check dmesg. is the driver loaded?
[10:37] <illriginal> Does anyone have a good guide on how to speed up boot process and boost all around performance?
[10:37] <wols_> DrEddy: asp run /sbin/ifconfig -a. does the interface show up?
[10:37] <PurpZeY> cr3_: There are other channels, that have support in other languages...if it's easier for you.
[10:38] <DrEddy> slow down, wols, I'm not a PRO in Linux...
[10:38] <cr3_> :P
[10:38] <schilling> wols_, OMFG... you're right. stupid mistake. i just assigned this speedlimit some days ago to save bandwidth when uplaoding to the internet... totally forgot about it. thank u.
[10:39] <DrEddy> a?sp run /sbin/ifconfig -a - correct it
[10:39] <_Codeman_> How do I get kernel headers? I apt-cache search'd it but didn't find "kernel-headers-*" of any kind :/
[10:39] <wols_> also run "/sbin/ifconfig -a"
[10:39] <xeshire> derp...  are the repositories broken?
[10:39] <DrEddy> thx :)
[10:39] <wols_> _Codeman_: try linux-header
[10:39] <_Codeman_> wols_: Thanks :D
[10:39] <skar> hi, any one know of a way to find out how much of a process memory is shared and how much its own memory?
[10:40] <FlashNet> how do i add users in postfix?
[10:40] <DrEddy> wols: there are two connections, but both aren't WiFi
[10:40] <_Codeman_> One last thing... I don't remember which kernel I have, is there a command to display my current kernel version?
[10:40] <n2diy> _Codeman_: uname -a
[10:40] <simonkern> hi
[10:40] <jason_> 14684 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2935.745 FPS
[10:40] <_Codeman_> Sweet! thanks
[10:41] <mauricio> hi
[10:41] <wols_> skar: (almost) impossible
[10:41] <redbox> _Codeman_: uname -r will give you just the version
[10:41] <jason_> is that bad for glgear
[10:41] <BlueBird22> how to install ltmodem-8.31a10.tar.gz? from   http://www.heby.de/ltmodem/
[10:41] <wols_> jason_: glxgears is not a benchmark
[10:41] <cr3_> in any case,
[10:41] <cr3_> hi, i've just finished configuring FANCONTROL, and it changes cpu fan speed every 10 seconds. I wonder if it won't exhaust fan, or damage it in some way?  is it secure to do that? SORRY for my ENglish, - I'm not native English speaker.
[10:41] <wols_> BlueBird22: unpack it, look inside for docs
[10:41] <skar> wols_: so i can only the physical mem used and the virtual mem size, not how much of the physical mem is shared with other processes? like libc routines etc?
[10:42] <wols_> skar: not really imho
[10:42] <_Codeman_> thanks redbox :D
[10:42] <simonkern> I'm searching for a simple messenger, it should be like the net send (smbclient -m) command. It should only need an ip address
[10:42] <jason_> whne i try to play 3D games it say this them to install the OpenGL Python bindings and the GtkGLExt Python bindings.
[10:42] <skar> wols_: ok thanks for the pointer, i remember a command, just can't place it ;)
[10:42] <jason_> how do i do that
[10:42] <lynn_> join #edubuntu
[10:42] <Lam_> how do i get sftp to limit the bandwidth of the file transfer and resume an incompleted transfer?

[10:44] <ward_> i need to install gettext-devel for some application i want to compile
[10:44] <BlueBird22> wols_ docs are pretty messy. i cant understand them
[10:44] <ward_> wwhere should i get it from?
[10:44] <wols_> dawn_chorus: somewhere below ~
[10:44] <ward_> google gives me nothing but RPM links
[10:44] <FlashNet> will anyone help me setup my mta?

[10:45] <wols_> simonkern: linux has no such command
[10:45] <elsni> Hi, i want to install ubuntu on an older laptop which a strange pcmcia cd drive. In kernel 2,.4 versions I nedded to pass the following parameter to have the cd drive recognized by the kernel: ide2=0x180,0x386  but that does not work for (k)ubuntu feisty. Is there a workaround?
[10:45] <FlashNet> will anyone help me setup my mta?
[10:45] <wols_> ward_: ubuntu is not a rpm disotr. there are no -devel packages
[10:45] <ward_> wols_, what should i do then when i need the devel package? is the normal gettext and gettext-base enough?
[10:46] <wols_> no it is not. apt-cache search gettext |grep gettext and you will see
[10:46] <wols_> FlashNet: ask a specific question not a "please do my work" one
[10:46] <simonkern> wols_: yes, but i'm searching for a programm that runs an every machine which should be reachable
[10:46] <LjL> cr3_: no, fancontrol is far from secure.
[10:46] <wols_> simonkern: talkd
[10:46] <bjl_> hello
[10:46] <ward_> wolki, then how should i install gettext-devel ?
[10:47] <hierro> hi all, is there a way to share folders inside a windows network? i mean i have 3 computers connected through an ethetnet switch, 2 running winxp and one (mine) runing linux and i want to share a folder...
[10:47] <ward_> oops wolki, wrong nick sorry
[10:47] <LjL> cr3_: it won't damage the fan by changing the speed - however, it might damage the processor by setting the wrong fan speed.
[10:47] <ward_> wols_, , then how should i install gettext-devel ?
[10:47] <wols_> simonkern: and it cannot work simply with IP. Linux is a real multiuser system. you need a user too
[10:47] <neverblue> sound issues, how can I tell it an app still has a lock on my ALSA device?
[10:47] <wols_> ward_: you don't since it doesn't exist. I told you what to do
[10:48] <kane77> I guess in kde the clocks have setting to show time in words and you have setting of fuzziness... is anything like that for gnome?
[10:48] <wols_> ward_: what file (header) do you need exactly?
[10:48] <hierro> help please
[10:48] <ward_> wols_, ahaaaa, so it IS enough to have gettext and gettext-base :-)
[10:48] <neverblue> !ask hierro
[10:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ask hierro - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:48] <wols_> neverblue: lsof or fuser
[10:48] <ward_> wols_, thanx for the help
[10:48] <hierro> hi all, is there a way to share folders inside a windows network? i mean i have 3 computers connected through an ethetnet switch, 2 running winxp and one (mine) runing linux and i want to share a folder...
[10:48] <neverblue> fuser
[10:48] <silvertip257> anyone experienced with creating/customizing live cd isos ?
[10:48] <neverblue> never heard of that one
[10:48] <wols_> ward_: in the future: all dev packages end with -dev
[10:49] <neverblue> i dotn think I can use lsof
[10:49] <_Codeman_> http://pastebin.tj-coding.com/15 <- can anyone tell my why module-assistant wont compile lufs?
[10:49] <wols_> hierro: samba
[10:49] <neverblue> but ill give it a try
[10:49] <neverblue> thanks
[10:49] <ward_> wols_, but there is no -dev package from gettext !
[10:49] <d_root> anyone familiar with Twinview can help out?
[10:49] <wols_> ward_: yes, mea culpa. just saw that
[10:49] <hierro> wols_ samba? it sounds old to me
[10:49] <cr3_> LjL: i know but I'm asking whether changing speed so many times can make shorter "life" of the fan :P i regret for my English :P
[10:49] <hierro> wols_ anyway thank you
[10:49] <wols_> !info lufs
[10:49] <ward_> wols_, ok so its not needed if there is no -dev package?
[10:49] <Pokit> Anyone here installed steam with wine?
[10:49] <shiftplusone> hey, can someone please tell me if there is a way to find out what's using the soundcard?
[10:49] <ubotu> Package lufs does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[10:50] <HungryCakes> Anyone here have experience with Azureus in 7.04?  I can't get it to download for more than a few minutes
[10:50] <wols_> ward_: probably not. I actually don't know. I asked you something you didn't answer
[10:50] <blue42> hierro: you're using gnome? should be an option somewhere to set filesharing on
[10:50] <shiftplusone> I set everything up to use ESD, but xmms is complaining that something is blocking the sound card.
[10:50] <Pokit> I cant see any text on the steam menu. any clue why?
[10:50] <elsni> I want to install ubuntu on an older laptop which a strange pcmcia cd drive. In kernel 2,.4 versions I needed to pass the following parameter to have the cd drive recognized by the kernel: ide2=0x180,0x386  but that does not work for (k)ubuntu feisty. Is there a workaround? Have the parameter changed in newer kernels? Please help! Thanks in advance!
[10:50] <Pokit> do i have to install certain fonts?
[10:50] <hierro> blue42, i tried to find it...
[10:50] <wols_> _Codeman_: there is no error in your pasting. show us the lines with the error
[10:50] <xtreon_> anyone happen to know the name of the aplication that locks the sceen and turn the mouse curson into a padlock? I have inte installed but forgot the name :)
[10:50] <ward_> d_root its best just to ask your question about twinview, maybe someone knows the answer but doesn't call him/herself experienced
[10:50] <hwilde> cr3_, fan lifespan is measured in revolutions, so faster speeds will shorten the lifespan.  changing speeds too much will add a minimal amount of wear on the motor but not enough to significantly impact the lifespan
[10:51] <_Codeman_> wols_: sorry, its hard to copy from module-assistant :/
[10:51] <hierro> blue42, ops
[10:51] <hierro> blue42, here it is
[10:51] <_Codeman_> wols_: hold lemme get it
[10:51] <xtreon_> found it, xtrlock, really nice aplication =)
[10:51] <wols_> shiftplusone: use the proper output plugin for xmms
[10:51] <ditoa> hi all
[10:51] <wols_> shiftplusone: pray one for ESD is available
[10:52] <shiftplusone> wols_: I am using the ESD plugin and usually I can run mplayer and xmms at the same time without either one of them complaining
[10:52] <ditoa> i have a question that isnt just ubuntu related but linux in general but this channel has a lot of knowledgable people in it so i am hoping you dont mind :)
[10:52] <ditoa> other than samba where ways are there to mount a perminant network source?
[10:52] <shiftplusone> wols_: sometimes something else seems to hog the sound card without actually playing anything and I can't get it back until I restart.
[10:52] <HungryCakes> Anyone here have experience with Azureus in 7.04?  I can't get it to download for more than a few minutes.  I have my port forwarding set up correctly with a static IP address, but all downloads go to 0 kbps after a few.
[10:52] <kitche> ditoa: nfs
[10:53] <ditoa> does nfs work like samba?
[10:53] <ramatieg> Can anyone recommend a compression utility that can split archives into multiple parts and well supported on Windows (e.g. by 7-zip and IZarc)
[10:53] <wols_> shiftplusone: fuser, lsof
[10:53] <ditoa> i have nothing against samba, i just want to try something different is all
[10:53] <Lamego> ditoa, nfs is commonly used on unix systems, samba mostly to interface with windows
[10:53] <ward_> how's it possible that all of a sudden my screen is set at 256 colors? :s
[10:53] <shiftplusone> wols_: tried those, no output
[10:53] <ward_> how can i prevent such stuff from happening?
[10:53] <d_root> I've got two monitors which are supposed to run at 1440x900 res. When I setup xorg.conf at that resolution, only one monitor works. When I set up the monitors at 1280x800, both of them work. any ideas?
[10:53] <wols_> ditoa: it does the same thing mostly. smaba, nfs, afs all do
[10:54] <hierro> blue42, sorry, but...do you know what role does the network group play on a windows network? :D
[10:54] <ditoa> cool
[10:54] <ditoa> so i can mount a directory on a remote system and treat it like a local one?
[10:54] <shiftplusone> sudo fuser -vk /dev/dsp* and same with lsof.... no output
[10:54] <hierro> blue42, sorry, but...do you know what role the network group play on a windows network? :D
[10:54] <wols_> ditoa: yes
[10:54] <Lamego> ditoa, yes, you can do an nfs mount
[10:54] <minisrule192> Hello
[10:54] <caravel> hi all
[10:54] <wols_> ditoa: not fully but mostly
[10:54] <ditoa> fantastic! thank you very much i will go google how to use it :)
[10:54] <blue42> hierro, yeah, usually I right click My computer in windows, then look under the network tab
[10:54] <ward_> d_root, whats the maximum resolution of the monitors?
[10:54] <wols_> hierro: needed for browsing for example
[10:55] <blue42> usually, the name is listed there
[10:55] <blue42> you use that name
[10:55] <HungryCakes> Anyone here have experience with Azureus in 7.04?  I can't get it to download for more than a few minutes.  I have my port forwarding set up correctly with a static IP address, but all downloads go to 0 kbps after a few.
[10:55] <d_root> 1440x900
[10:55] <ward_> d_root, both?
[10:55] <ward_> (just to make sure)
[10:55] <d_root> ward_ 1440x900, they're cheapos. yes
[10:55] <hierro> wols_ its not enough to me, could you draw it?
[10:55] <d_root> ward_ they're both WXGA LCDs
[10:56] <ward_> d_root, weird, i have a similar problem with my tv out with both twinview an d clone
[10:56] <wols_> hierro: no. one cannot draw on irc. text only
[10:56] <zpidaz> I can't find anything about this on the web, but I tried to log on to my account in 7.4 and got a message saying I couldn't, and either I'd run out of disk space, or (can't remember) but to speak to my Administrator. Since I AM my Administrator, that's not much use! And it appears that root can't login from the Ubuntu login screen.... (!)
[10:56] <xtreon_> I have a reall problem that sofar noone has ben able to solve. When I acces the real terminal (ctrl+fX) the monitor shuts down and the keyboard stop working.. it has not always ben this way.. any sugestions?
[10:56] <ward_> lol wols_
[10:56] <ward_> (drawing)
[10:56] <hierro> wols_,  what a problem
[10:56] <_Codeman_> wols_: http://pastebin.tj-coding.com/16
[10:56] <blue42> here's a dumb qn, in irssi how to send private messages?
[10:57] <wols_> zpidaz: since you don't tell us the exact error we can't help you
[10:57] <preem_> K:o
[10:57] <wols_> blue42:  /msg nick text
[10:57] <ward_> d_root, i hope someone knows it (but it isn't much of a problem for me here)
[10:57] <wols_> blue42: you need to be identified to services on freenode o send msg here
[10:57] <ward_> d_root, if you get no answer you should check #nvidia
[10:57] <zpidaz> Could you help me if I could? I took a photo of it which I could probably decipher. I'm not going to reboot now...
[10:57] <illriginal> Does anyone know how to safely speed up the boot time, and boost up all around performance?
[10:57] <d_root> ward_ i'll try that
[10:58] <blue42> wols_... thanks!
[10:58] <hoelk> hmm anyone knows a scandisk like application for linux? gui would be best
[10:58] <zpidaz> Anyway, I hadn't run out of disk space.
[10:58] <wols_> _Codeman_: http://pastebin.tj-coding.com/16
[10:58] <blue42> tried it, freenode did indeed tell me I needed to be a registered user
[10:58] <d_root> ward_ i've tried setting up using only Xinerama, but didnt achieve better results that way either
[10:58] <xtreon_> Please? I have a reall problem that sofar noone has ben able to solve. When I acces the real terminal (ctrl+fX) the monitor shuts down and the keyboard stop working.. it has not always ben this way.. any sugestions?
[10:58] <ward_> d_root, they gave me great help there before
[10:58] <wols_> _Codeman_: #

[10:58] <wols_> inode’ has no member named ‘i_blksize’
[10:58] <BlueEagl1> illriginal: Have you concidered another window manager?
[10:58] <hoelk> just to check an hd for bad sectors
[10:58] <hierro> wols_ ...it seems that this network group is not useful
[10:58] <ward_> d_root, what is Xinerama?
[10:58] <illriginal> Window Manager?... Uh no thanks :)
[10:58] <shiftplusone> ok, thanks anyway.
[10:59] <illriginal> I like how Gnome looks BlueEagl1
[10:59] <xtreon_> noone? damit this is killing me
[10:59] <d_root> ward_ it's similar to Twinview, but more universal, not limited to only nvidia drivers
[10:59] <BlueEagl1> illriginal: Then you must see if you're loading services you're not using like web server, mysql server, samba server and so on.
[10:59] <BlueEagl1> illriginal: If you are then you might want to concider uninstalling them or atleast deactivate them on boot.
[11:00] <ward_> d_root, aha good to remember
[11:00] <illriginal> would any of those stop me from using firefox, aim, xchat, etc... ?
[11:00] <HungryCakes> Anyone here have experience with Azureus in 7.04?  I can't get it to download for more than a few minutes.  I have my port forwarding set up correctly with a static IP address, but all downloads go to 0 kbps after a few.
[11:00] <wols_> hierro: it can be but it's mostly unneeded at least with samba
[11:00] <d_root> ward_ i think Twinview is better if you have an nvidia card
[11:00] <BlueEagl1> zpidaz: By default root cannot log in. Ubuntu uses sudo for all things requiering root.
[11:00] <ward_> d_root, i know, but its nice to remembe for other cards :-)
[11:00] <hierro> wols_ ok, thank you boy
[11:01] <d_root> ward_ for sure.
[11:01] <zpidaz> This was the error message: "GDM could not write to your authorisation file. This could mean that you are out of disk space or that your home directory could not be opened for writing.  In any case it is not possible to log in. Please contact your system administrator."
[11:01] <wols_> hierro: no problem kiddo
[11:02] <hierro> !kiddo
[11:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kiddo - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:02] <wols_> zpidaz: press ctrl+alt+f1. log in
[11:02] <dyrne> zpidaz: alt-ctrl-f2 then login then type   'df -h'
[11:02] <hierro> wols_ what does it mean?
[11:02] <ward_> d_root, do u by any chance know if its possible to do twinview on 3 screens? (one TV)
[11:02] <wols_> and then run "df" and see if you have any room left
[11:02] <wols_> hierro: that you're a kid?
[11:02] <BlueEagl1> zpidaz: Sounds like a permissions error.
[11:02] <hierro> wols_ im 25
[11:02] <wols_> hierro: as I said: a kid
[11:03] <illriginal> BlueEagl1, is there a proper guide that tells me how to deactivate start up programs that I do not use, and also tell me what each program does?
[11:03] <Cowfood> hey how do i change listening port in vnc?
[11:03] <wols_> hierro: calling other people "boy" pressupposes they are kids. better don't do that
[11:03] <BlueEagl1> zpidaz: in your home directory: sudo chown -R yourusername:yourusername *
[11:03] <stefg> HungryCakes: the Azu-package from universe is known to be troublesome. I'd get the latest azureus from sourceforge and overwrite the azureus.jar from the package with the one from sourceforge. Delete your ~/.azureus dir after that, so that the new azureues starts from scratch
[11:03] <zpidaz> I'll try what you said. I can't think why there would be a permissions error. I hadn't been doing anything special...
[11:03] <ward_> wols_, i think he didn't mean it that way, his english doesn't sound native to me
[11:03] <wols_> !info rcconf
[11:04] <ubotu> rcconf: Debian Runlevel configuration tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.19 (feisty), package size 17 kB, installed size 112 kB
[11:04] <wols_> illriginal: use rcconf
[11:04] <dpak> Hello, all my players don't play the avi files correctly. I get sound, but just blank screen. Can somebody help me?
[11:04] <joejoe300> :(
[11:04] <d_root> ward_ i'm not sure, i'll bet someone has done it though. this is a good resource for multi-display stuff: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174
[11:04] <xeshire> is anybody able to run apt-get update ?  I'm getting a lot of errors lately
[11:04] <ward_> d_root, i was just curious, thanx for the link
[11:04] <joejoe300> so I messed around with boot.ini, got Ubuntu 7.04 Festy Fawn to show up, but it doesn't boot
[11:04] <stefg> dpak: did you use automatix do install the codecs?
[11:04] <PurpZeY> !automatix
[11:04] <ubotu> Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[11:04] <illriginal> wols_ type that as a command into terminal?
[11:04] <wols_> joejoe300: error messages are a cool thing
[11:05] <wols_> illriginal: install it first
[11:05] <elsni> hi, where can I find a list of all possible kernel parameters?
[11:05] <rhkenji> Hi, Im new with linux.. ive been a windows user for a VERY VERY long time... i recently installed ubuntu and have experienced some problem.. can i ask here?
[11:05] <wols_> elsni: in the kernel sourecs in the doc directory
[11:05] <dpak> stefg: I don't think so. I added extra package from Add/Remove
[11:05] <hierro> wols_ ok...i will write this hint on my english learner notes
[11:05] <ward_> d_root, i think there are hardware limitation to do that though (3 screens)
[11:05] <wols_> rhkenji: yes you can. don't ask to ask, just ask
[11:05] <kitche> rhkenji: yes since this is the support channel
[11:05] <ikonia> rhkenji: just ask
[11:05] <BlueEagl1> illriginal: to deactivate startup programs I use rcconf
[11:06] <hierro> what a cold...
[11:06] <BlueEagl1> illriginal: As for what each one does google is your friend. :)
[11:06] <rhkenji> ok, my mouse and keyboard hangs (i dunno if its the system) after logging in
[11:06] <illriginal> BlueEagl1 yeah I just installed it and it's opened... I need to know how to use this :x
[11:06] <joejoe300> wols_: for now, can I just try to install the loader on the external MBR
[11:06] <d_root> ward_ you might be right, i think Xinerama is the way to go for more than 2 monitors
[11:06] <BlueEagl1> illriginal: You need to run it as root (sudo)
[11:06] <joejoe300> so that it at least boots properly when I boot from usb
[11:06] <zeroflag> every time I start azureus my network connection dies. any ideas?
[11:06] <kbrooks> how to say repeat every 5 minutes in a crontab?
[11:06] <illriginal> yep
[11:06] <illriginal> i am
[11:06] <BlueEagl1> illriginal: Just uncheck the programs you do not want/need to start at boot.
[11:06] <wols_> joejoe300: that makes no sense. if grub menu shows, the loaded is installed already and properly
[11:06] <wols_> *loader
[11:07] <joejoe300> wols_: grub menu shows, but no options work
[11:07] <rhkenji> it works at the login dialog but hangs as the system loads.. what could be the problem? I can move it for a while then it hangs just as everything completely loads
[11:07] <zpidaz> Thanks for all the advice, everyone. I'm going to reboot and try some of it :o) I am doing this from a new install, but would really like to go back to my old one because I spent a lot of time tweaking it...
[11:07] <stefg> dpak: then you don't have the right mpeg codec. i'd try vlc , and if it palys the file, it will tell you what format it ism so you can install the right gstreamer codec
[11:07] <ward_> d_root, yeah, one screen for the CPU :p
[11:07] <wols_> joejoe300: either you give me error messages or you stop asking
[11:07] <MonsieurBon> can I install apache and mysql-server so they don't start at bootup but only, if I start them manually? If yes, how do I do this?
[11:07] <illriginal> Hm... only 4 items... BlueEagl1, quick question! What's apport?
[11:07] <Cowfood> hey i need a link for a good ubuntu guide
[11:07] <rhkenji> it does that with the live cd or the properly installed one
[11:07] <elsni> wols_: Can I find the list of parameters somewhere without installing the kernel sources?
[11:07] <dpak> stefg: vlc doesn't do it either
[11:07] <ikonia> Cowfood: ubuntu.com
[11:07] <joejoe300> wols_: my bad, guess ill be back in a while (live cd takes soooo long to load)
[11:07] <jrib> Cowfood: help.ubuntu.com
[11:07] <ikonia> Cowfood: ubuntuforums.org
[11:07] <wols_> elsni: yes. google...
[11:07] <stefg> dpak: do have w32codecs installed?
[11:08] <wols_> joejoe300: yes it sucks but it's the only way
[11:08] <zpidaz> BTW, how come root can't login from the login screen? Even if you give root a password?
[11:08] <jrib> zpidaz: because it's a bad idea
[11:08] <wols_> !root
[11:08] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[11:08] <elsni> wols_: guess what I do for days....
[11:08] <joejoe300> wols_: wait I remember a bit
[11:08] <wols_> zpidaz: ubuntu has no root accound
[11:08] <joejoe300> if i select Ubuntu from ntldr, it just says
[11:08] <joejoe300> GRUB and then a space and hangs
[11:08] <dpak> stefg: let me check on my synaptic
[11:08] <MenZa> Right; I'm having some problems with my machine running Ubuntu 7.04; specifically net connection. I can't make this machine (my laptop) access its Apache installation, ping it or connect via ssh to it. Everyone else can. The machine is located at menza.dyndns.org (IP <IP_ADDRESS>)
[11:08] <stefg> !w32codec | dpak
[11:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about w32codec - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:08] <joejoe300> no error message
[11:08] <zpidaz> Oh. I know how much damage root can do if it doesn't know what it's doing, but sometimes you just have to be root to fix things...
[11:08] <stefg> !w32codecs | dpak
[11:08] <MonsieurBon> Cowfood, www.ubuntuguide.org nothing official though!
[11:08] <ubotu> dpak: Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages, including the win32 codecs: see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - See also !Codecs
[11:08] <ikonia> joejoe300: ntldr can't boot ubuntu
[11:08] <wols_> elsni: what exactly do you need to know. any driver can be given parameters via kernel commandline
[11:09] <zeroflag> every time I start azureus my network connection dies. any ideas?
[11:09] <joejoe300> ikonia: ntldr trying to boot grub
[11:09] <ikonia> zpidaz: you don't break things if your not root
[11:09] <ikonia> joejoe300: not a good idea
[11:09] <wols_> zpidaz: you don't need to be root.ever. even if it's sometimes handy
[11:09] <foug_> anyone know the command for bittornado? trying to add it to the "Open With" menu
[11:09] <jrib> zpidaz: you never need to log in as root in the gui to do anything, I can't think of a single good reason
[11:09] <dpak> stefg: Ok. Thanks. I will try that.
[11:09] <wols_> joejoe300: ntldr booting grub is already working when you get the menu with thekernels. that is not your problem
[11:09] <joejoe300> wols_: but if I boot from the drive, grub lists properly
[11:09] <joejoe300> wols_: but i dont get a menu with kernels from ntldr
[11:09] <wols_> ah.
[11:09] <joejoe300> i get it only if i boot directly from external drive
[11:09] <illriginal> Nevermind, I got it :D
[11:09] <wols_> still. error messages then
[11:10] <alex__> could anyone help me with a little problem a have with the resolution on my computer'
[11:10] <joejoe300> no error msg from ntldr
[11:10] <joejoe300> just "GRUB "
[11:10] <joejoe300> and hangs
[11:10] <ikonia> joejoe300: its not good to do it that way
[11:10] <elsni> wols_: I need to know how to tell the ide drive to take a non-standard adress. In 2.4 kernels it worked for me with ide2=0x180,0x386 - bit that has no effect in recent kernels
[11:10] <zpidaz> wols: What if the login screen tells you to go and speak to your administrator? How does your administrator sort out the problem? Particularly if you ARE the administrator? :o)
[11:10] <hierro> zpidaz you can do sudo passwd root,  to create you root password, so that you can become root with a terminal...
[11:10] <wols_> it can't find its stage2 then
[11:10] <joejoe300> ikonia: can you suggest a better alternative?
[11:10] <ikonia> zpidaz: the administrator knows how to not break things
[11:10] <zpidaz> hierro: Not if you can't login at the login screen...
[11:10] <ikonia> joejoe300: use grub instread of ntlldr
[11:11] <BlueEagl1> zpidaz: Have you tried changing the permissions to the files in your home directory?
[11:11] <wols_> zpidaz: I told you waht to do before. feel free to ignore it. speak again to me if you don't ignore it
[11:11] <joejoe300> ikonia: I want ubuntu installed on this external drive though
[11:11] <wols_> ikonia: he cannot
[11:11] <hierro> zpidaz, why do you want to login as root if can run any command as root by terminal?
[11:11] <wols_> ikonia: unless grub can load stage 2 from ntfs now
[11:11] <ikonia> joejoe300: why can't you install ubuntu on the external drive ?
[11:11] <joejoe300> and i want windows to work even when i dont have the drive attached
[11:11] <alex__> i cant choose any resolution higher than 800x600, i tryed to add larger into the xorg file but i still cant choose any of them
[11:11] <jrib> !fixres > alex__ (see the private message from ubotu)
[11:11] <wols_> ikonia: he can. but it then won't work when the external drive is not connected...
[11:11] <joejoe300> ikonia: ubuntu is installed on the external, but if i unplug it grub cant load stage2
[11:11] <ikonia> joejoe300: your pretty screwed then
[11:12] <ikonia> joejoe300: yes, I see what your saying
[11:12] <ikonia> and wols_
[11:12] <wols_> ikonia: he isn't. it's tricky but doable
[11:12] <p1ls> where is gnome-startup file
[11:12] <joejoe300> thanks wols_!
[11:12] <hierro> zpidaz, log as you, then open a terminal and run the command to create your root password...after you can do su root and the you have all the power you ever wanted
[11:12] <ikonia> wols_: yes it is do-able but very rarley works and sort of not worth the effort
[11:12] <ivx> hey i'm trying to burn some mp3s to a cd and it goes through preparing media part then gets an error that say writing to disc failed. where can i go to see more info, unless someone knows from that. i'm on 7.04
[11:12] <zpidaz> hierro: Because I want to be able to log in as myself, and don't know enough to fix the problem. But I will try what I was advised to, and come back later and report. Just wondered why root couldn't log in...
[11:12] <p1ls> where is gnome-startup file
[11:12] <BlueEagl1> p1ls: Are you looking for /boot/grub/menu.lst perhaps?
[11:12] <desmond> hi, can some1 help me format my secondary driver under linux? i want to get a fat partion on it
[11:12] <zpidaz> hierro: No, that doesn't work. I tried it. Will be back later.
[11:13] <p1ls> no, i want to add programs to start when gnome starts
[11:13] <hierro> zpidaz it works
[11:13] <BlueEagl1> desmond: gparted is quite handy for managing partitions.
[11:13] <jrib> p1ls: ~/.config/autostart/  has the programs you add to startup in your session.  Just use system > preferences > Sessions > startup
[11:13] <wols_> p1ls: use ~/.xsession
[11:13] <joejoe300> ikonia:  what about just having grub on the external MBR and boot from usb for linux.... and dont use ntldr at all?
[11:13] <p1ls> thanks
[11:13] <joejoe300> err wols_
[11:13] <Tobster> Is there an IRC were I can ask about JavaScript? and is this the 'class room'?
[11:13] <desmond> blue: ok i will try
[11:13] <ikonia> joejoe300: that would work
[11:13] <wols_> joejoe300: cannot work. no stage2
[11:13] <ikonia> joejoe300: yes it would if grub is on the usb device
[11:13] <wols_> joejoe300: oops. it will work, but it is a hassle
[11:13] <joejoe300> isnt stage2 on the external already?
[11:13] <ikonia> and you boot direct from usb
[11:14] <jrib> Tobster: ##javascript
[11:14] <SlimeyPete> Tobster: the ubuntu classroom is in #ubuntu-classroom iirc
[11:14] <joejoe300> wols_ more of a hassle than ntldr booting grub?
[11:14] <joejoe300> is there a way for me to set grub to be more verbose
[11:14] <wols_> joejoe300: different one. it is a hassle forever. installing ntldr+grub is a onetime hassle
[11:14] <joejoe300> currently no error code
[11:14] <wols_> your pick
[11:14] <ikonia> joejoe300: no
[11:14] <Tobster> Hi is there an IRC were I could ask about JavaScripy?
[11:14] <ikonia> Tobster: not here
[11:14] <jrib> Tobster: ##javascript
[11:14] <wols_> Tobster: you've been told already
[11:15] <wols_> Tobster: #web too
[11:15] <ikonia> why is asking where to ask anything to do with ubuntu
[11:15] <joejoe300> wols_: of course I like the one time thing, but im not sure what to do without an error code
[11:15] <joejoe300> any idea what I can change for grub to load?
[11:15] <Tobster> I new to IRC so sorry
[11:15] <ikonia> this channel is busy enough without that
[11:15] <joejoe300> is my linux.bin messed up?
[11:15] <wols_> the problem is the same: grub can't find its stage2 for some reason
[11:15] <ikonia> linux.bin ?? there is no such thing
[11:16] <joejoe300> ikonia: thats the stage1 that ntldr reads
[11:16] <wols_> ikonia: it's a grub bootrecord (512 bytes). it's how one can boot linux via ntldr boot.ini
[11:16] <ikonia> shees talk about making a mess of things
[11:16] <joejoe300> wols_: could it be the external isnt mounted
[11:16] <joejoe300> ?
[11:16] <ikonia> it doesn't get mounted
[11:16] <wols_> isthatall: yes it is your linux.bin, but it's also the usb bootrecord since both are the same
[11:16] <ivx> is this working can anyone see me?
[11:16] <ikonia> ivx yes
[11:17] <wols_> no it is mounted. but has a different number in bios than when you installed grub
[11:17] <desmond> blueeagl1: thx it worked perfect, going to reboot and will try it
[11:17] <mas> salut
[11:17] <ikonia> wols_: I'll bet its the "hd0" style mapping
[11:17] <ivx> ikonia, thanks
[11:17] <joejoe300> wols_:  hrmm if they're the same, if i fix one the other will work?
[11:17] <ikonia> as the usb device will assume a random number due to it not being static on the bus
[11:17] <BlueBird22> nickrud you there?
[11:17] <bobsumone> question, I would like to set up my Ubuntu Server as a router for my network, can someone tell me what I need to look up to do it securely?
[11:17] <lusepuster> hi folks... I've been trying to compile the experimental linux-uvc drivers but have no idea how/where to install them - any ideas?
[11:17] <wols_> joejoe300: you fix the bootrecord by properly installing grub /the tricky part) and then recreate the linux.bin from that again
[11:17] <wols_> and that until it works...
[11:18] <ikonia> bobsumone: there is a guide on the ubuntu wiki
[11:18] <dyrne> bobsumone: ive heard firestarter lets you pretty much setup ics and stuff
[11:18] <bobsumone> ICS?
[11:18] <wols_> lusepuster: make install doesn't work?
[11:18] <novato_br> os problemas parecem naum acabar
[11:18] <novato_br> ki saco
[11:18] <joejoe300> wols_: did I improperly install grub before?
[11:18] <shiftplusone> hey, I came crawling back, I thought I could restart and have my sound card back but it still says it is being used. It was working fine just 5 minutes ago. Can someone please help?
[11:18] <dyrne> bobsumone: internet connection sharing
[11:18] <bobsumone> ikonia: what should I reference on the ubuntu wiki?
[11:18] <wols_> dyrne: we are not in windows. there is no ics
[11:18] <wols_> joejoe300: yes
[11:18] <bobsumone> dyrne: ah, lol
[11:18] <ikonia> bobsumone: network router, proxy
[11:18] <wols_> bobsumone: install ipmasq
[11:19] <bobsumone> ikonia: I will need a firewall as well....
[11:19] <wols_> !info ipmasq
[11:19] <ubotu> ipmasq: securely initializes IP Masquerade forwarding/firewalling. In component universe, is extra. Version 4.0.8-2ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 76 kB, installed size 616 kB
[11:19] <dyrne> wols_: there is if i use the term enough :)
[11:19] <bobsumone> im trying to make sure I don't miss anything
[11:19] <wols_> bobsumone: no you don't need one
[11:19] <ikonia> bobsumone: that will be included in the guide
[11:19] <bobsumone> yeah I know about masking
[11:19] <bobsumone> ok
[11:19] <kitche> bobsumone: iptables is the firewall which firestarter is a frontend to
[11:19] <lusepuster> wols_ : there is no such option. It compiles and ends up w some .o and .so files that i guess should be placed in some folder, but I don't bnow which, and I don't know if the system automagically detects them them or what
[11:19] <bobsumone> keep in mind im on server, so I don't have GUI
[11:19] <wols_> lusepuster: .so files are shared libs
[11:20] <wols_> lusepuster: put them in /usr/local/lib/
[11:20] <ikonia> lusepuster: if you are using experimental stuff you should a.) read the docs b.) have a base understanding of that your doing
[11:20] <bobsumone> speeking of which, is there a text only web browser on server that I can use to access SWAT and other options?
[11:20] <wols_> bobsumone: use ipmasq then. firestarter is X only
[11:20] <ikonia> lynx
[11:20] <bobsumone> ok
[11:20] <wols_> bobsumone: lynx, links, links2
[11:20] <KomiaPoika> hi
[11:20] <CineScope> or elinks
[11:20] <bobsumone> ty
[11:20] <wols_> bobsumone: for a router dnsmasq is very handy too
[11:21] <KomiaPoika> why is there no pidgin package?
[11:21] <bobsumone> im actually getting help this time
[11:21] <bobsumone> w00t
[11:21] <kitche> KomiaPoika: it wasn't out when feisty was released
[11:21] <PurpZeY> KomiaPoika: It's rather easy to compile
[11:21] <KomiaPoika> yea, but buggy
[11:21] <novato_br> i'm on feisty, what's going on?
[11:21] <lusepuster> ikonia - I think I in many ways have a pretty good undertanding of the system, and... there really are no docs, they only say 'compile these modules and install them'
[11:21] <ikonia> novato_br: support
[11:21] <PurpZeY> KomiaPoika: I've done it twice without issue, but that's just me
[11:21] <KomiaPoika> i can't log on msn from home (but i can from the office) using self compiled gaim, on the same laptop
[11:21] <MrObvious> Is there a way to get 54 Meg speeds with the BCM43xx driver?
[11:21] <KomiaPoika> why other computers on the same lan can log on to msn
[11:22] <novato_br> here, i wasn't get one connection
[11:22] <ikonia> lusepuster: so install them
[11:22] <KomiaPoika> while*
[11:22] <novato_br> but i'd learned: "sudo dhclient eth0"
[11:22] <joejoe300> wols_: so I run sudo grub-install /dev/sdb1 ?
[11:22] <novato_br> it's works
[11:22] <novato_br> but when i need to restart my ubuntu
[11:22] <joejoe300> sdb1 = external
[11:22] <lusepuster> ikonia - that's the question. I have only a faint idea where they are going.
[11:22] <ikonia> KomiaPoika: because you built gaim from scratch you have probably missed the ssl specific libraries
[11:22] <wols_> joejoe300: does /dev/sdb actually exist?
[11:22] <novato_br> it is not save the configurations
[11:22] <ikonia> lusepuster: ask the maintainer
[11:23] <joejoe300> yeah usb is sdb when i boot from liveCD
[11:23] <dogmeat> what entry do i add to the sudoers file so that user 'jay' and sudo?
[11:23] <xtreon_> Please? I have a reall problem that sofar noone has ben able to solve. When I acces the real terminal (ctrl+fX) the monitor shuts down and the keyboard stop working.. it has not always ben this way.. any sugestions?
[11:23] <wols_> joejoe300: you need to chroot to it first
[11:23] <dogmeat> 'jay' can sudo
[11:23] <joejoe300> chroot?
[11:23] <joejoe300> does that set root provilages?
[11:23] <wols_> mount /dev/sdb1 somwhere and then chroot to that
[11:23] <mayorbuttes> joe joe: chroot changes your root directory, I believe.
[11:23] <lusepuster> ikonia - I could, Just wanted to try out if anyone here had any experiance w them. It's webcam drivers so they shouldn't f*** up the system completely
[11:23] <wols_> no it does not
[11:23] <wols_> man chroot
[11:24] <ikonia> lusepuster: there is no need for the bad language
[11:24] <joejoe300> the drive is mounted
[11:24] <joejoe300> i can see it in places->computer
[11:24] <KomiaPoika> ikonia: no, i can log on msn from the office, with the same laptop, but i fail to connect from home, while other computers on the lan can log on msn using gaim2
[11:24] <ikonia> lusepuster: this is an ubuntu support channel, nothing to do with your external packages. I suggest you contact the maintainer
[11:24] <joejoe300> its called disk
[11:24] <ikonia> KomiaPoika: I suspect in the office your using the proxy
[11:24] <n2diy> Are there any casino games for Ubuntu, didn't find much with google or synaptic?
[11:24] <joejoe300> wols_: so then I type "chroot /dev/sdb1" ?
[11:25] <KomiaPoika> ikonia: am not, at the office i'm on the external adsl
[11:25] <ikonia> KomiaPoika: check the gaim logs then
[11:25] <wols_> joejoe300: no. it's not mounted on /dev/sdb1. run "mount" to find out where
[11:25] <ikonia> your current network maybe doing packet mangling
[11:25] <KomiaPoika> when i try to log on msn from this laptop from home, i kick myself on other computer, so it means it does some connect, but it hangs on the connecting part
[11:25] <klav> I'm trying to edit system file from terminal - with sudo but when trying to save it denies me :( any ideas?
[11:25] <joejoe300> /dev/sdb1 on /media/disk type ext3 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
[11:26] <joejoe300> thats what it says when i run mount
[11:26] <ikonia> KomiaPoika: only thing I can think of is packet mangling
[11:26] <KomiaPoika> ikonia: i do have a firewall
[11:26] <ikonia> KomiaPoika: thats possible
[11:26] <jrib> klav: what command are you using?
[11:27] <KomiaPoika> ikonia: does "scrub on sis0 no-df random-id fragment drop-ovl reassemble tcp" sound as culprit to you?
[11:27] <ikonia> reassemble suggests its doing packet mangling
[11:27] <lusepuster> ikonia : sorry abt language. I know the main topic about this, but I've seen the discussions before and was under the impression there was some space for general topics
[11:27] <klav> sudo gedit file.xxx
[11:27] <ikonia> lusepuster: the topic is pretty accurate
[11:27] <stonerek> hi.i've got a question.command 'find / -perm +4000' shows me files with SUID bit.so if '/bin/umount' has SUID , why when i type command 'umount my_file_system' i get 'only root can unmount.etc' ??
[11:27] <klav> file opens i make my changes then it says denied
[11:28] <MrObvious> When is the next release going to be?
[11:28] <jrib> MrObvious: october
[11:28] <ikonia> MrObvious: october
[11:28] <MrObvious> jrib, Thanks.
[11:28] <MrObvious> ikonia, Thanks.
[11:28] <joejoe300> wols_: so it should be at /dev/sdb1?
[11:28] <ikonia> jrib: your too fast
[11:28] <jrib> klav: what is the full path to the file?
[11:28] <stonerek> can anyone help me?
[11:28] <ikonia> stonerek: ask the question
[11:29] <Heptofite> is the ndiswrapper in ubuntu 7 more userfriendly? like, can i use it as a GUI tool?
[11:29] <aricz> ikonia: scroll up
[11:29] <stonerek> hi.i've got a question.command 'find / -perm +4000' shows me files with SUID bit.so if '/bin/umount' has SUID , why when i type command 'umount my_file_system' i get 'only root can unmount.etc' ??
[11:29] <klav> sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:29] <mc44> Heptofite: you can use ndisgtk if you want a gui
[11:29] <klav> jrib: sorry i didn't add your name its getting busy in here. line im using sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:30] <jrib> klav: that should work... what if you use:  sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:30] <Murdock76> hello folks.  i was wondering something that is hopefully easy.  does anyone know which directory the mplayer codec package should be extracted to?
[11:30] <n2diy> Are there any casino games for Ubuntu, didn't find much with google or synaptic?
[11:31] <stonerek> ikonia: so could you help me?
[11:31] <joejoe300> wols_:  still around?
[11:31] <klav> jrib: just opens in terminal
[11:32] <klav> i can't edit it
[11:32] <joejoe300> wols_:  says chroot: cannot change root directory to /dev/sdb1: Not a directory
[11:32] <jrib> klav: what happens when you press ctrl-o after editing it?
[11:33] <mc44> Murdock76: what do you mean by the codec package?
[11:33] <dfgas> k i am dual booting, but how do i make hdb hda so i can get rid of the windows harddrive
[11:33] <wols_> < joejoe300> wols_: so then I type "chroot /dev/sdb1" ? joejoe300: no. it's not mounted on /dev/sdb1. run "mount" to find out where
[11:33] <klav> ctrl-O : tries to open file
[11:33] <klav> o*
[11:33] <klav> jrib: oh worked
[11:33] <wols_> Murdock76: you install codecs as a deb package. no need to extract to certain directories
[11:33] <joejoe300> wols_: : i ran mount, all i see is /dev/sdb1 on /media/disk
[11:33] <klav> i re-opened it
[11:33] <klav> then saved
[11:33] <joejoe300> i tried to chroot /media/disk too
[11:33] <klav> interesting
[11:33] <klav> ty
[11:33] <wols_> joejoe300: and?
[11:33] <joejoe300> but it said i cant (permission denied)
[11:34] <wols_> yes you need to be root
[11:34] <Murdock76> mc44: well i have the mplayer installed and also the plugin for firefox.  the audio plays, but not the video.  i downloaded the codec package from their website, but i'm not sure where the codec files themselves belong.
[11:34] <joejoe300> sudo
[11:34] <jrib> !enter | joejoe300
[11:34] <ubotu> joejoe300: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[11:34] <joejoe300> i used it
[11:34] <mc44> Murdock76: er... mplayer in ubuntu comes with the codecs already... what was the codec package you downloaded?
[11:34] <wols_> sudo chroot /media/disk ?
[11:35] <joejoe300> wols_:  thats what I typed
[11:35] <joejoe300> chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': Permission denied
[11:35] <Murdock76> essential_20061022
[11:35] <Rodel> is there a way to download/install programs for the add/remove program list via a terminal?

[11:35] <ph8> ah, ubotu's got you :)
[11:35] <nj786> can anybody help me get my sound back?
[11:35] <Murdock76> mc44: it was available at the mplayer official website.
[11:36] <wols_> joejoe300: possibly mount it it non nosuid
[11:36] <joejoe300> wols_: how?
[11:36] <tontonjoe> hi all
[11:36] <nj786> my sound is not working and i need to get it back to the way it was before
