[04:36] <doogle> Jimb1: you have to install mgp123 or mplayer first.  you don't have to cd - you can either: "cd music" and then "mpg123 file.mp3" or you can "mpg123 music/file.mp3" in one step
[04:36] <baastrup> Qwerty: yeah hate this
[04:36] <tuskernini> variant, ok, i forwarded the port... no luck, should i restart apache?
[04:36] <doogle> finalbeta: I think the problem is that ubuntu doesn't have enough developers involved with it
[04:36] <Qwerty> probose, there is KMobileTools and Moto4lin you could try out
[04:36] <usuario> USUARIO
[04:36] <Qwerty> Kmob tools's for KDE :s
[04:37] <atrus> baastrup: you're using the evdev device block as in that review, and the device name matches what shows up in /proc/bus/input/devices?
[04:37] <finalbeta> doogle, especially when talking hardware I fear.
[04:37] <ERIK_LIMA> http://ead.universo.edu.br/ead.htm
[04:37] <probose> Qwerty i'll search for them
[04:37] <probose> thanks ^^
[04:37] <Qwerty> synaptic :D
[04:37] <Qwerty> which mob btw?
[04:37] <ERIK_LIMA> soundray: I enter my username and password and the page open fine
[04:37] <doogle> finalbeta: I find it's more effective to raise a bug in the debian BTS.  it gets fixed quicker that way, and will eventually end up in ubuntu in 1 or 2 releases time.
[04:37] <soundray> !moto4lin | probose
[04:37] <ubotu> moto4lin: file manager and seem editor for Motorola phones (like C380/C650). In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3+cvs20050925-2 (edgy), package size 141 kB, installed size 472 kB
[04:37] <tuskernini> doogle, I forwarded port 80 but i still get my router when i type in my ip?
[04:38] <ERIK_LIMA> Then I click on "Teoria Geral da Administrao"
[04:38] <ERIK_LIMA> and open fine
[04:38] <baastrup> Qwerty: N: Name="Logitech USB Gaming Mouse"
[04:38] <ERIK_LIMA> Then I choose one of EAD green ball, click on it and the lesson doesn't start
[04:38] <doogle> tuskernini: that's odd.  try forwarding some big port number like 55555 on the router to port 80 on your ubuntu machine, then visit http://ip.address:55555/
[04:38] <Williamts99> Erik_lima, http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page
[04:39] <mangojambo> guys, the xserver-xephyr dapper haven't evdev suport... looking into xserver-xephyr edgy changelog http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/x/xorg-server/xorg-server_1.1.1-0ubuntu12/changelog I don't found nothing about EVDEV ... so, that means... forget about evdev!!!  ?? :(
[04:39] <doogle> tuskernini: incidentally, you are using your router's external IP address, not the 192.168.? one, aren't you?
[04:39] <ERIK_LIMA> I installed the Flash Player plugin to view it, but the Flash Player content don't allow me to view the EAD content
[04:39] <Jimb1> bbl thanx
[04:39] <tuskernini> yes the externel one... found it at whatismyip.com
[04:39] <ERIK_LIMA> sorry, guys... I can't tell you my username and password :)
[04:39] <Williamts99> Erik_Lima, You might want to try the new beta version of flash
[04:39] <ERIK_LIMA> I'm really sorry...
[04:40] <ERIK_LIMA> Ok... give me the line command to Terminal and I try to install it
[04:40] <Williamts99> Erik_lima, That might be the issue, requireing the newer version of Flash
[04:40] <ERIK_LIMA> That's it... What's the number of this version??
[04:40] <darklinux> all tell me wt happend to the disk manger application in ubuntu it waz in breazy
[04:40] <ERIK_LIMA> Flash Player 9??
[04:40] <soundray> ERIK_LIMA: yes
[04:41] <Williamts99> Erik_Lima, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=flash+beta+linux&btnG=Search
[04:41] <Williamts99> Erik_lima, First link
[04:41] <doogle> tuskernini: I don't see anything when I try visiting your IP address in my browser - just "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at <IP_ADDRESS>."
[04:41] <Williamts99> Erik_Lima, the directions are in the file :-)
[04:41] <darklinux> the disk manager in ubuntu what happend to it
[04:41] <tuskernini> doogle, wierd
[04:42] <tuskernini> i see it when i go to localhost
[04:42] <sidewalk`> hey you guys
[04:42] <ERIK_LIMA> Hum...
[04:42] <Williamts99> Erik_lima, also, remember that it is a beta, but seems pretty stable
[04:42] <ERIK_LIMA> What's next?
[04:42] <sidewalk`> when i run a iwlist eth1 scan, i get info
[04:42] <sidewalk`> but i cant dhclient eth1
[04:42] <finalbeta> doogle, what package should I report firewire issues against?
[04:42] <sidewalk`> anyone have any tips?
[04:42] <Williamts99> Erik_Lima, that's it, just have to follow the instructions in the downloaded file, it is pretty much extract and replace
[04:42] <doogle> finalbeta: the kernel, I guess
[04:43] <doogle> finalbeta: linux-image
[04:43] <tuskernini> doogle, ok i get that when going to <IP_ADDRESS>:55555 too after forwarding 55555 to port 80
[04:43] <ERIK_LIMA> Downloading the beta version... :)
[04:43] <neenaoffline> why do I get "Sagmentation faulty tree" while apt is "Building dependency tree" ?
[04:43] <tuskernini> doogle, what am i doing wrong... maby the setup?
[04:43] <probose> oh my god... how do i make moto4lin connect on my cellphone?
[04:43] <sidewalk`> anyone around that can help me with my wireless-problem?
[04:43] <botxj> !moto4lin
[04:43] <ubotu> moto4lin: file manager and seem editor for Motorola phones (like C380/C650). In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3+cvs20050925-2 (edgy), package size 141 kB, installed size 472 kB
[04:44] <doogle> tuskernini: I tried going to http://<IP_ADDRESS>:55555/ a couple of minutes ago, before you forwarded it, and it just sat there, trying to connect
[04:44] <probose> Qwerty what i must put in "ACM Device"?
[04:44] <tuskernini> doogle, and now?
[04:44] <doogle> tuskernini: but if I try it now, it fails instantly with "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at <IP_ADDRESS>:55555".  so I guess the forwarding is working, and the apache isn't...
[04:44] <botxj> a file manager for a phone.... what the heck?
[04:44] <tuskernini> :-)
[04:44] <doogle> tuskernini: have you set the firewall up on the ubuntu box?
[04:44] <tuskernini> doogle, no firewall
[04:45] <tuskernini> afaik
[04:45] <neenaoffline> can anyone help me with apt/dpkg ?
[04:45] <doogle> tuskernini: "sudo iptables -L" will show you the firewall rules.  you should see 3 "policy ACCEPT" lines by default
[04:46] <Qwerty> probose, dunno but to find acm you could use this 'dmesg | grep ACM'
[04:46] <Qwerty> I dont have a moto btw :s
[04:46] <probose> Qwerty what is 'dmesg | grep ACM'?
[04:46] <Williamts99> doogle, is the server on the same computer and or network?
[04:46] <tuskernini> doogle, i see 3x ACCEPT
[04:47] <doogle> tuskernini: right.  that's an open firewall - no restrictions
[04:47] <Qwerty> a command for the terminal probose
[04:47] <tuskernini> doogle, does it mean anything if my localhost works?
[04:47] <doogle> Williamts99: tuskernini is running the server on his LAN with the router forwarding traffic to it, and I'm trying to connect.
[04:47] <doogle> tuskernini: yes, I guess that means the web server is working...
[04:48] <Qwerty> probose, which moto ?
[04:48] <doogle> tuskernini: is there something else in the way perhaps?  like a modem or something?
[04:48] <probose> Qwerty is a c357
[04:48] <tuskernini> doogle, i have a cable modem and a wireless router... thats it
[04:49] <doogle> tuskernini: maybe the cable modem needs to forward the port as well?
[04:49] <doogle> tuskernini: can you pastebin "traceroute google.com" output?
[04:49] <tuskernini> doogle, never heard of that...
[04:49] <tuskernini> ok...
[04:50] <Galfrid> Anyone know the Ubuntu equivalent of the windows Net Send function?
[04:50] <doogle> tuskernini: it doesn't matter if it fails - just the first 3 or so lines will do
[04:51] <doogle> Galfrid: what does 'net send' do?
[04:51] <ERIK_LIMA> Williamts99: Ok... I installed the plugin. How I can uninstall the old version??
[04:51] <tuskernini> doogle, never done traceroute... think its not installed
[04:51] <sidewalk`> does WEP2 with TKIP work with iwconfig ?
[04:51] <neenaoffline> why do I get "Sagmentation faulty tree" while apt is "Building dependency tree" ?
[04:51] <bobslaede> Galfrid: smbclient -M
[04:51] <tuskernini> doogle, or is it pastebin? haha
[04:51] <sidewalk`> how do i set the password using iwconfig ?
[04:51] <ERIK_LIMA> Or I should leave the old version installed??
[04:51] <Williamts99> Erik_Lima, where did you copy it to?
[04:51] <richee> Folks, I am wondering how to align images to the right like this blog post http://www.hermann-uwe.de/blog/google-sponsors-the-linuxbios-project
[04:51] <richee> can anyone help me with this?
[04:51] <jshriver> Greetings
[04:51] <sidewalk`> is there some kind of a graphical tool for configuring my wireless-card ?
[04:51] <jshriver> how can you tell grep to match an expression with . in it?
[04:51] <jshriver> like .log?
[04:51] <ERIK_LIMA> to /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins
[04:51] <Galfrid> Doogle: (on a windows machine) Net send allows you to communicate with another user on another machine over a network
[04:52] <jshriver> and not spit out everything with log
[04:52] <ERIK_LIMA> and to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
[04:52] <doogle> tuskernini: traceroute is /usr/sbin/traceroute - maybe that's not in your PATH?
[04:52] <bobslaede> Galfrid: smbclient -M netbiosname message
[04:52] <Galfrid> all on one line?
[04:52] <seraphim> richee: align="right"
[04:52] <ERIK_LIMA> I open the Firefox and then I enter "about:plguins" and the new version was installed
[04:52] <bobslaede> well leave out the message
[04:52] <bobslaede> it'll let you write that afterwords
[04:53] <Williamts99> Erik_Lima, then you should be able to restart firefox, and give your site a try
[04:53] <sidewalk`> noone who can help me out with my wlan problem?
[04:53] <tuskernini> doogle, nope not in path
[04:53] <bobslaede> Galfrid: a lot more trickier to recieve a message, i can't help you there. but google it
[04:53] <doogle> tuskernini: install package 'traceroute' if you don't have it
[04:53] <Galfrid> lol, ok thanks
[04:53] <bobslaede> np
[04:54] <ERIK_LIMA> I tried... but the page I need to view don't open. If I use Internet Explorer, the page open
[04:54] <doogle> jshriver: grep -F will search for fixed strings.  or you can escape . with "\.".  or put it inside [square backets] :  [.]
[04:54] <ERIK_LIMA> To go there, each student of the university need to enter an username and password
[04:54] <richee> sorry wrong channel
[04:54] <doogle> jshriver: so  grep -F .log   or   grep -F "\.log"   or   grep -F "[.] log"
[04:55] <ERIK_LIMA> after that, the main page of EAD loads and the studente chosse one of "green balls"
[04:55] <doogle> jshriver: oops!  grep -F .log   or   grep "\.log"   or   grep "[.] log"
[04:55] <ERIK_LIMA> Then click on it and see if opens. I clicked on one of them and don't opens
[04:55] <tuskernini> doogle, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31937/
[04:55] <ERIK_LIMA> Maybe it's a site protection against Firefox users
[04:56] <Williamts99> Erik_Lima, I am guessing that it must really be a website that doesn't conform to web standards
[04:56] <ERIK_LIMA> Beacause the site was developed for Windows users... I think
[04:56] <ERIK_LIMA> Williamst99: I agree with you
[04:56] <Williamts99> Erik_lima, It is pretty sad actually, but I guess you are going to have to install IE on Linux
[04:57] <Williamts99> Erik_Lima, did you copy that site that I sent you
[04:57] <Limulf>  I want Ubuntu (6.10) to start without opening any windows from its previous use, so I have changed my session configuration, unchecking the save session changes automatically option. My problem is that i don't know how to prevent from appearing two windows: the session manager and a Nautilus window showing my home directory. I have tried to remove the gnome-session-properties from the current session tab in the session manager
[04:57] <Limulf>  window,  but after closing and opening again the session manager, the gnome-session-properties program is again there. This is barely an annoyance, but I would like to know the solution anyway. Thanks for your time and work.
[04:57] <tuskernini> doogle, the first address is my actual router address
[04:57] <doogle> tuskernini: I see this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31938/  - line 2 begins with my real IP address, meaning there's only one network between me any my ISP (ie. my router)
[04:57] <MeisterZopf> can any body tell my which IDE is shown here? http://www.rubyonrails.org/images/screencasts/15minutes.gif
[04:58] <doogle> tuskernini: nothing that your external IP address doesn't appear until line 3 (probably), meaning that there are 2 networks between you and your ISP - that'll be your router and your modem.
[04:58] <doogle> tuskernini: they'll both need forwarding.
[04:58] <Williamts99> Erik_Lima, I would complain to the site admins also, but that is just me, though it is really rare these days that a site doesn't work with Firefox
[04:58] <tuskernini> doogle, i had a server once but dont recall forwarding modem aswell... dont even know how!
[04:59] <doogle> tuskernini: point your browser at <IP_ADDRESS> and you'll see your modem settings I think
[04:59] <sidewalk`> does anyone know if WEP2/TKIP works with wireless in Linux?
[04:59] <tuskernini> doogle, ok
[04:59] <ERIK_LIMA> The site works fine with Internet Explorer
[04:59] <i0null_> ies4linux
[04:59] <tuskernini> doogle, Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at <IP_ADDRESS>.
[04:59] <Williamts99> Tuskernini, usually it is the DSL modems that tend to block ports, not usually the cable modems
[05:00] <ERIK_LIMA> Williamst99: By the way... do you what's wrong with my boot on Windows XP??
[05:00] <ERIK_LIMA> :/
[05:00] <doogle> tuskernini: I'm probably talking nonsense.  the modem doesn't need forwarding set up does it...
[05:00] <bettola> hi
[05:00] <doogle> tuskernini: because my connection attempt is getting paste your modem to your router already, so that part is fine.
[05:01] <bettola> i have a problem with nvidia driver
[05:01] <bettola> no direct rendering!!!
[05:01] <tuskernini> doogle, ok i understand that much...
[05:01] <Williamts99> Erik_lima, Yes, it is windowsXP :-)
[05:01] <bettola> with the latest nvidia driver
[05:01] <ERIK_LIMA> Maybe I need to get the CD to reinstall it
[05:01] <Williamts99> Erik_lima, you could try and use the system repair part of the CD
[05:01] <tuskernini> doogle, must be something with apache then? but i see it fine from localhost... aaah!!!
[05:02] <ERIK_LIMA> Ok... I have to go now. Bye!!
[05:02] <doogle> tuskernini: can you set up a new port forward on the router?  forward 44444 on the router to 44444 on your ubuntu box
[05:02] <Williamts99> Erik_lima, but yea, once you install IE on Linux, send me a message and let me know if it works
[05:02] <tuskernini> ok will do
[05:02] <doogle> tuskernini: then run a "nc -l -p 44444" on the ubuntu box.  that's a very basic 'server' to test the connection
[05:03] <kuun> hello
[05:04] <Rob125> howdy hi
[05:04] <doogle> tuskernini: did that work?
[05:04] <tuskernini> doogle, yes!
[05:04] <tuskernini> doogle, youre the man!
[05:04] <doogle> ok, so we know port forwarding is ok.  try replying to me
[05:04] <doogle> in that 'nc' window
[05:05] <bettola> any hints for the nvidia direct rendering?
[05:05] <keithhhhh> anyone using GAIM 2.0  ??  1.5 seems to have problems with MSN  :(
[05:05] <KenSentMe> keithhhhh: i use it

[05:05] <docmur> I need some help, I want to put windows back on my drive so I've resized my /home to allow for the extra space and it all work and I can run windows setup and format the space and it copys the files but when it restarts to run the actual setup all I ever get is an NTLDR loader missing ?????
[05:05] <hoelk> anyone knows if kdevelop is on the dvd version of kubuntu?
[05:05] <Isyth> ah yes, good afternoon.
[05:05] <keithhhhh> maybe its my friend then
[05:05] <docmur> any one know how to fix it
[05:06] <keithhhhh> oh
[05:06] <doogle> tuskernini: you'll need to "sudo nc -l -p 80" because only root can listen on port 80
[05:06] <keithhhhh> you guys use 2.0?
[05:06] <Williamts99> yes
[05:06] <kuun> exit
[05:06] <Williamts99> well a beta of 2.0
[05:06] <keithhhhh> Williamts99: how did you install it?
[05:06] <Isyth> I'm looking for a way to write .pdf's with my openoffice.org-- any idea?
[05:06] <BlackHawk> docmur: you have to setup your mbr correctly
[05:06] <tuskernini> doogle, ok, where is my apache again /?
[05:06] <Williamts99> It is included in Edgy
[05:06] <Rob125> isyth - try 'export to pdf'
[05:06] <tuskernini> usr app?
[05:06] <Rob125> it's right above save
[05:06] <docmur> okay but why doesn't windows just do what it always does and over right it
[05:06] <doogle> tuskernini: "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop" I guess
[05:06] <keithhhhh> Williamts99: oh
[05:06] <keithhhhh> :(
[05:06] <docmur> ???? how can I write it with out effecting ubuntu
[05:06] <BlackHawk> good question :)
[05:07] <BlackHawk> with grub
[05:07] <Almindor> is it me or is scorched earth 3d broken in the repos?
[05:07] <Isyth> rob125: I will crouch in a corner in shame now.
[05:07] <Isyth> thank you.
[05:07] <Rob125> no worries :)
[05:07] <Almindor> I get a coredump on run
[05:07] <docmur> I'm lost wont that just right a grub loader file
[05:07] <BlackHawk> you can install grub on the mbr and setup all operating systems with it
[05:07] <KenSentMe> keithhhhh: there is some repo for installing gaim2 on dapper
[05:07] <docmur> really
[05:07] <docmur> okay
[05:07] <docmur> is it in the grub doc
[05:08] <BlackHawk> i got the problem some weeks ago, i started with live-cd and reinstalled grub
[05:08] <keithhhhh> KenSentMe: ok Ill keep looking
[05:08] <docmur> I know how to reinstall gfrub
[05:08] <docmur> *grub
[05:08] <BlackHawk> it's important to start with live-cd, without you can't write the mbr, because the disk is active
[05:08] <tuskernini> doogle, ok do me
[05:09] <docmur> okay and that will fix windows tell me that NTLDR is missing
[05:09] <Almindor> BlackHawk, ??/
[05:09] <doogle> tuskernini: which port did you forward?
[05:09] <Almindor> BlackHawk, you can write to mbr anytime with rooty
[05:09] <keithhhhh> KenSentMe: I think I found it thanks  ;)
[05:09] <tuskernini> doogle, cant-grab <IP_ADDRESS>:80 with bind
[05:09] <BlackHawk> even with active diskdrive ?
[05:09] <doogle> tuskernini: you need to use sudo
[05:09] <tuskernini> did
[05:09] <BlackHawk> it didn't work when i tried
[05:09] <tuskernini> wil do again
[05:09] <Williamts99> You can use easyubuntu to upgrade to gaim 2.0 beta3 I believe
[05:09] <doogle> tuskernini: so apache is still running?
[05:09] <tuskernini> yes
[05:10] <someperson> hi. i can't seem to open pretty much any app in dapper, it starts loading, then closes it. I had to use the vista part of my hard drive to go on here
[05:10] <Almindor> yes
[05:10] <doogle> tuskernini: only one program can be listening on any port at a time
[05:10] <tuskernini> doogle, wil restart again
[05:10] <KenSentMe> keithhhhh: no problem
[05:10] <BlackHawk> ok i had changed the partition table as well :P
[05:10] <lstarr> This installation is friggin so simple!!!  I'm on the third macine in the house, and I started less than 3 hours ago.
[05:10] <Almindor> BlackHawk, you can even now for example you can 0 your mbr with dd
[05:10] <tuskernini> doogle, so should i stop apache?
[05:10] <doogle> tuskernini: yes
[05:10] <Williamts99> keithhhhh, the easiest way is to use easyubuntu
[05:10] <Discerer> what's the difference between ubuntu and ubuntu-server?
[05:10] <BlackHawk> ah k, then it was the parttable i think *confused* :P
[05:11] <Williamts99> http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/
[05:11] <tuskernini> doogle,  ok
[05:11] <doogle> Discerer: nothing much, other than the list of packages installed by default
[05:11] <Isyth> well, my problems are solved, I will go now!  Use at your own risk. See http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ - For help and or discussions about EasyUbuntu please join #easyubuntu
[05:14] <Discerer> or just ready to config?

[05:16] <someperson> hi. i can't seem to open pretty much any app in dapper, it starts loading, then closes it. I had to use the vista part of my hard drive to go on here (GAIM, lol)
[05:16] <Rob125> wishlog: use it. if it breaks, it didn't :P
[05:16] <KenSentMe> Williamts99: search ubuntuforums.org on gaim and dapper, first hit
[05:17] <someperson> should i re-install?
[05:17] <KenSentMe> someperson: check for errors by running the crashing apps from the command line
[05:17] <Williamts99> kensentme, didn't know that it was offically backported
[05:18] <KenSentMe> Williamts99: not officially, but some people made debs themselves
[05:18] <someperson> oh. good idea. *Exiting teh pr3tty Vista UI for shtty 1024x768 'buntu*
[05:20] <keithhhhh> a
[05:20] <keithhhhh> Thanks everyone I found gaim 2.0  ;)
[05:20] <probose> hey... when i mess in moto4lin options, i put "ok" but when i go to the options again, my changes were not made!
[05:20] <sidewalk`> anyone know if WPA2/TKIP works with ubuntu?
[05:20] <sidewalk`> using wireless
[05:20] <Rob125> probose: is there an apply button?
[05:21] <we2by> sidewalk`: it works
[05:21] <probose> Rob125 no =/
[05:21] <we2by> it really depends on your driver though
[05:21] <runpain> how do i install driver for wireless card
[05:21] <Rob125> dunno, then, sorry - never heard of the program.
[05:21] <Williamts99> runpain, depends on your wireless card
[05:21] <docmur> I just had an Idea could I not use VM ware to set windows up on a partition, the freespace I created then config grub
[05:21] <docmur> ????
[05:21] <we2by> runpain: does wireless work (with wep) work out of the box?
[05:21] <runpain> 2wire
[05:22] <runpain> how do i get computer to reconize it
[05:22] <keithhhhh> anyone have this same problem...I hear sound in flash but not anywhere else  OR  I can hear sound everywhere except flash.  I cant hear sound thru both at the same time.
[05:22] <bunnythebunny> Hey guys, i've just installed ubuntu and it seems to be a bit slow, when for example changing between conversation tabs. Is it supossed to be like this? Do i need to install something else?
[05:22] <Williamts99> what model of 2wire?
[05:22] <we2by> sidewalk`:  does wireless work (with wep) work out of the box?
[05:23] <runpain> wait ill see
[05:23] <keithhhhh> bunnythebunny: do you mean Ubuntu is slow or just chatting?
[05:23] <doogle> bunnythebunny: ubuntu indexes the whole hard disk once a day.  it might be doing that now if you've just installed it
[05:24] <Williamts99> I am guessing the card is USB?
[05:24] <runpain> agere wifi
[05:24] <runpain> pcmcia
[05:25] <sidewalk`> we2by: i have no idea
[05:25] <bunnythebunny> Well its slow in overall. It feels slow. Not just when chatting. Changing a tab between firefox, and i dont know the terminal. Or when im trying to run somthing while there are a few other things already oppened...
[05:25] <sidewalk`> we2by: i cant get an IP-address of my router
[05:25] <we2by> sidewalk`: is it using wpa or wep?
[05:25] <sidewalk`> if i do an iwlist eth1 scan, i get the interface
[05:25] <sidewalk`> we2by: whatever i want?
[05:25] <doogle> tuskernini: that's working now.
[05:25] <tuskernini> doogle, when i start apache i get apache2: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using <IP_ADDRESS> for ServerName
[05:26] <we2by> sidewalk`: most wireless cards work oout of the box with wep
[05:26] <Lathiat>
[05:26] <bunnythebunny> doogle: I installed it yesterday though. Its lsow like hell right now and i have no idea why.
[05:26] <we2by> for wpa you seed some settings
[05:26] <we2by> !wpa
[05:26] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:26] <tuskernini> doogle,  how is it working?
[05:26] <we2by> there is a howto for wpa
[05:26] <doogle> bunnythebunny: run a terminal and run "top" in the terminal.  it should show what's making it slow
[05:26] <tuskernini> doogle, my ip is still showing to my router
[05:26] <doogle> tuskernini: I see your "how to get lamp running" page at http://<IP_ADDRESS>/
[05:26] <runpain> william its a 2wire agere wifi pcmcia card
[05:26] <news> hello
[05:27] <tuskernini> doogle, :-)
[05:27] <tuskernini> weird that i cant see it...
[05:27] <Rob125> doogle: weird, that's a nifty command
[05:27] <doogle> tuskernini: I see it at http://<IP_ADDRESS>:55555/ too, of course.
[05:27] <Williamts99> what do you get by entering lspci into the terminal?
[05:27] <tuskernini> doogle, you are the BEST.. thank you so much!
[05:27] <dylan_> I have an IBM ThinkPad T22 laptop that will not use the Live CD because of some graphics issues.  The CD loads to the point where it says "Starting GNOME Display Manager", then the screen blanks and the computer freezes.
[05:27] <doogle> tuskernini: no problem.  don't forget to un-forward 44444 and 55555 :)
[05:28] <tuskernini> doogle, wierd i cant see :55555 ?
[05:28] <news> anyone has an idea about a very small distro only for webbrowsing purpose ?
[05:28] <runpain> will try that william
[05:28] <tuskernini> doogle, cant establish connection
[05:28] <tuskernini> whatever
[05:28] <doogle> tuskernini: that is strange.
[05:28] <runpain> can we talk in a differant window please
[05:28] <tuskernini> yep
[05:28] <runpain> william
[05:28] <doogle> tuskernini: you can't expect localhost:55555 to work
[05:28] <bunnythebunny> doogle: what should ib el ooking at as a indicator for memory usage ?
[05:28] <rellis> When I do 'ethtool eth0' it reports 'Speed: Unknown! (65535)' 'Duplex: Unknown! (255)'... I have verified the drop I'm using into is good. The NIC I'm using is on-board and I've tried three different system boards.
[05:29] <doogle> tuskernini: because that won't go via the router, and the router is the only thing that knows about 55555
[05:29] <dylan_> news, Damn Small Linux
[05:29] <tuskernini> doogle, no, with the ip
[05:29] <tuskernini> ok
[05:29] <Rob125> time to go to work.
[05:29] <tuskernini> doogle, ok..
[05:29] <doogle> bunnythebunny: in 'top', press '<' and '>' to change which column it's sorting by.
[05:29] <bunnythebunny> doogle:  what i can tell from "top" its that my whole memory is being chewed up and i've got almost nothing running
[05:29] <bunnythebunny> oh ill do that
[05:29] <rellis> This only happens on eth0. eth0 and eth1 are identical on-board nics.
[05:29] <news> dylan_: thanks
[05:29] <Jimb1> so is ext3 readable by windows?
[05:29] <Jimb1> I didnt think it was
[05:29] <LjL> !ext3 > jimb1
[05:30] <doogle> bunnythebunny: if you press '<' 4 times from the start, it'll sort by 'VIRT' (ie. virtual memory size)
[05:30] <Jimb1> LjL..??
[05:30] <LjL> jimb1, you got a message from the bot with a link to the ext3 driver for windows
[05:30] <doogle> bunnythebunny: Linux will generally use all available memory for disk cache and such like - what's the point of having memory if you're not going to use it?
[05:30] <AsheD> anybody experienced with mencoder?
[05:31] <LjL> !anyone
[05:31] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[05:31] <doogle> AsheD: a little...
[05:31] <Jimb1> My xp machine is able to see the files on the ext3 partion on the linux machine already
[05:31] <truk77> anybody know of any resources for installing ubuntu on a Dell Inspiron 1501?
[05:31] <Jimb1> i guess i should have made hdb1 ext3 instead of fat32 huh
[05:31] <LjL> jimb1, then you had already a driver installed. Windows by default definitely doesn+t come with an ext3 driver
[05:32] <AsheD> I was ripping some stuff, set to a certain filesize to maintain quality, doing a 2-pass with the xvid codec, and when the files are done, they seem of decent quality, but they are all like 20% smaller than the size I set
[05:32] <Jimb1> I didnt install it  LjL
[05:32] <Jimb1> it just works
[05:32] <bsnider> is edgy going to get the 2.6.18 kernel?
[05:32] <doogle> Jimb1: if you're accessing the drive remotely, it doesn't matter what filesystem it is, because the local OS will take care of reading and writing it.
[05:32] <LjL> jimb1, uh, wait, so is it an ext3 that you're seeing, or what?
[05:32] <doogle> Jimb1: the problem comes when you dual-boot - then you have to resort to tricks to get windows to read/write ext3 and linux to write ntfs, etc.
[05:32] <deeflex> My friend gave me a cd of ubuntu 6.06 I think? the version before 6.10 anyway my problem is that I can't boot the cd the system hangs at "Loading LInux kernel 28%".
[05:33] <bunnythebunny> doogle: well, is it normal for xorg to chew up all my cpu?
[05:33] <Jimb1> LjL im playing an mp3 file that is on the drive I installed ubuntu on
[05:33] <Williamts99> truk77, a quick search of ubuntuforums.org might be good
[05:33] <deeflex> I've tried to set boot parameter mem=512 but still same
[05:33] <doogle> bunnythebunny: that's not normal, no
[05:33] <Jimb1> no windows on that machine at all
[05:33] <doogle> bunnythebunny: can you pastebin the 'top' screen?
[05:33] <bunnythebunny> doogle:its going from very high to very low..
[05:33] <doogle> !paste | bunnythebunny
[05:33] <ubotu> bunnythebunny: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[05:33] <Jimb1> im accessing from another windoz box
[05:33] <bunnythebunny> Ok illt ry.
[05:34] <Jimb1> i never installed a driver for ext3 on the windows box
[05:34] <doogle> bunnythebunny: you can run "top -d .3" or some such to get top to update every 0.3 seconds.
[05:34] <gbutler69_> Anyone know anything about 'chrooted' environments? Why does 'chroot foo', and then type 'tty' give 'not a tty'??
[05:34] <gbutler69_> [11:28]  Anyone know a way around this 'not a tty' thing for 'chroot'?
[05:34] <Jimb1> so, im thinking it was a mistake using fat32 for the second hd on the ubuntu machine
[05:34] <doogle> Jimb1: the remote windows box talks smb to the ubuntu box, and the ubuntu box uses the linux kernel's ext3 driver to access the HD.  windows isn't 'speaking' ext3, it's speaking 'smb'
[05:35] <doogle> Jimb1: if you don't intend to run windows *on* your ubuntu machine, then you don't need to use fat32 on it, no.
[05:35] <Williamts99> truk77, actually, searching on there and the wiki come up with nothing, so that might be a really good sign that nobody is having issues with ubuntu on it. :-)
[05:35] <tuskernini> doogle, ok cu and thanx a million
[05:36] <doogle> bye tuskernini
[05:36] <truk77> Williamsts99: well, it's also (I think) a pretty new model, but I guess I'll just get the latest ubuntu version and say "go" and see what happens
[05:36] <Jimb1> doogle...I thought I needed to to be able to read from the windows boxes but maybe i should format hdb1 to ext3 also
[05:36] <ruinevil> I C U FIRSTSTRIKE
[05:36] <Jimb1> thought i needed fat32
[05:36] <deeflex> My friend gave me a cd of ubuntu 6.06 I think? the version before 6.10 anyway my problem is that I can't boot the cd the system hangs at "Loading LInux kernel 28%". I've tried to set boot parameter mem=512 but still same.
[05:36] <FirstStrike> ahhhhh
[05:36] <bunnythebunny> doogle: ive done it.. should i download the text then?
[05:36] <Jimb1> bbl
[05:36] <bunnythebunny> doogle: or i dont know..
[05:36] <Williamts99> truk77, also, there are compatability pages, if everything works out perfectly on it, might want to mention it on there.
[05:37] <Yggdrasil> i havea wierd qeustion what the hell is a lamp server ?
[05:37] <doogle> bunnythebunny: no, just tell me the URL at the top of the browser
[05:37] <KenSentMe> !lamp | Yggdrasil
[05:37] <ubotu> Yggdrasil: lamp is Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL.  For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP  -  See also the Server CD install menu.
[05:37] <bunnythebunny> doogle: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31944/
[05:37] <Yggdrasil> ahhh
[05:37] <Yggdrasil> i see makes prefect sense
[05:37] <deeflex> If my system is not listed in the HardwareSupport site does it mean that my system is not compatible at all? or someone hasn't tested it yet?
[05:37] <runpain> williams i did the lspci
[05:37] <secouriste> il y a des gens qui parle francais ?
[05:38] <BlueYersey> sind hier deutsche anwesend, um meinem vorredner mal naczukommen?
[05:38] <secouriste> animal__,  ? francais ?
[05:39] <Williamts99> truk77, good luck, and post back if it works.  well and if it doesn't :-)
[05:39] <doogle> bunnythebunny: that's sorted by VIRT?  can you do another sorted by CPU?  if you run "top -d 999" it will update very slowly, letting you copy/paste it without having to exit.
[05:39] <ruinevil> nein ?
[05:39] <Williamts99> runpain, I sent you a private message
[05:39] <truk77> Williamsts99, thanks, will do :)  I guess I'm forging a new trail here

[05:40] <Malachi> Totem crashes on startup. Any fixes?

[05:43] <izmaelis> it's getting interesting
[05:43] <sidewalk`> seriously
[05:43] <sidewalk`> Ubuntu is way behind regarding wireless
[05:43] <bunnythebunny> doogle: im giving you a new pastebin
[05:43] <sidewalk`> if Linux wants to be able to compete with windows, plug 'n play is the trick
[05:44] <runpain> Williams i got the message

[05:50] <quiet> http://www.ubuntu.com/mystory
[05:50] <agent_> what package contains the python module sys?
[05:50] <bunnythebunny> doogle: Its just that its so weird. This all started right now. i already was under th eimpression that it was slightly slower than usual..but...now its just annoying.
[05:51] <quiet> s/organisation/organization/   organisation is also acceptable i guess, but it's generally spelled with a 'z'
[05:51] <Juhaz> agent_, python.

[05:51] <agent_> Juhaz: duh! o_O thank you!

[06:00] <variant> mohij: the keyboard shortcut dialog is stupid, that is the problem.. over simplification doesnt work - see the menu editor as annother example
[06:01] <mohij> variant: so what should I do?
[06:01] <variant> mohij: no idea
[06:03] <jkimball4> What is the easiest way to setup svnserve to start at boot with other system services.
[06:03] <grogoreo> is there a way to see how much partitions are taking up on the harddrive from the CLI
[06:03] <doogle> grogoreo: "df -h"
[06:03] <grogoreo> doogle: thanks
[06:03] <doogle> grogoreo: oh, you mean how big each partition is, or how full it is?
[06:03] <LjL> !boot > jkimball4

[06:04] <variant> grogoreo: df --si
[06:04] <grogoreo> doogle: how full it is. That commands done it thanks
[06:04] <LjL> jkimball4: but if it's a GUI program that you're thinking about, just add it to your Gnome session
[06:04] <grogoreo> thanks variant as well
[06:05] <bunnythebunny> doogle: Do you think my slowdowns might be related to the fact that my processor is an amd64 and the architecture of this distribuition is i386?
[06:05] <lsproc> Does anyone have any warnings on using Edgy?

[06:05] <doogle> bunnythebunny: I don't know
[06:05] <zntneo> damn my wireless driver is suppose to be suppose natively :(
[06:05] <grogoreo> hmm, for some reason trying each of those commands gives me different readings. The first says I have 9.7G on a partition and the second says 11G
[06:05] <lsproc> zntneo: What card?
[06:05] <bunnythebunny> :(
[06:05] <grogoreo> variant, thanks that's handy
[06:05] <zntneo> oops suppose to be supported
[06:05] <zntneo> tnetw1130
[06:05] <lsproc> zntneo: Manufacturer?
[06:06] <zntneo> oops dlink g630
[06:06] <variant> grogoreo: that is to do with the way the disk usage is reported, aparant size, actual size, clusters used etc
[06:06] <lsproc> zntneo: Hmm, do an iwconfig, and tell me if it says Broadcom
[06:06] <grogoreo> variant: ah right

[06:08] <lsproc> zntneo: Do lspci | grep Broadcom, and paste the results at pastebin.com
[06:08] <lsproc> zntneo: Or other pastebin site
[06:09] <zntneo> it didn't print anything out
[06:09] <lsproc> zntneo: Cant help you then, sorry :(
[06:09] <variant> zntneo: just do lspci and paste the output to pastebin
[06:10] <lsproc> Does anyone have any warnings on using edgy?
[06:10] <einPaule> variant, he tells me "user not authorised to run the X server, aborting"
[06:10] <variant> man, my desktop looks so l33t now :)
[06:10] <variant> einPaule: thats annoying
[06:10] <Bagoor> lsproc, I have a lot ! :P
[06:10] <variant> einPaule: how did youc reate the user?
[06:10] <lsproc> Bagoor: Carry on :)
[06:10] <zntneo> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31949
[06:10] <variant> einPaule: do usermod -G users,admin,sudo,audio yourusernamehere
[06:11] <Bagoor> lsproc, I got booting problems about a weeks ago, because of usplash bug
[06:11] <einPaule> x worked for some time, even after installing fglrx today (And rebooting)
[06:11] <variant> ie6 under wine starts faster than native firefox on ubuntu lol
[06:11] <lsproc> Bagoor: :( Nasty! Might install dapper instead (fedora annoyed me). Just the new usplash and upstart looks cool
[06:12] <defrysk> fedora is a pita
[06:12] <lsproc> zntneo: I had an idea, have you tried MadWiFi (google it)
[06:13] <variant> !init
[06:13] <ubotu> Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto
[06:13] <Bagoor> lsproc, I reinstalled Dapper ! I prefer dapper
[06:13] <zntneo> I thought Madwifi is for Atheros drivers
[06:13] <lsproc> zntneo: I think your card is Atheros chipset based, im checking
[06:13] <lsproc> Bagoor: Thanks :)
[06:14] <yorman> hola buenas tardes
[06:14] <lsproc> zntneo: Whats the pci id?
[06:14] <yorman> hello
[06:14] <variant> whats the ubuntu sysv init replacement called again
[06:14] <variant> ?
[06:14] <Centaur5> Ever since I upgraded to Edgy syslogd is reporting to my terminal when I have it open.  How can I stop this?
[06:15] <lsproc> variant: Upstart

[06:15] <Malachi> Totem crashes on startup. Any fixes?
[06:15] <WonderWal> which command-line tool must i use to configure networking on edgy server?
[06:16] <WonderWal> bunnythebunny: easter is far away
[06:16] <lsproc> zntneo: No idea What is the problem with the card?
[06:16] <zntneo> it doesn't get an ip address
[06:16] <lsproc> WonderWal: ifconfig, ifup, ifdown, iwconfig (for wireless)
[06:16] <doogle> WonderWal: that's why he's setting up Linux instead of prancing around hiding eggs
[06:17] <lsproc> zntneo: Hmm... Look at the card, is there a ON light or similar
[06:17] <zntneo> yes
[06:17] <lsproc> zntneo: That is lit?
[06:17] <zntneo> but looking at dmesg it says wlan0 link is not ready
[06:17] <zntneo> yes
[06:17] <WonderWal> lsproc: what about /etc/network/interfaces ? where can i find docs on this file?
[06:18] <lsproc> zntneo: Ok, does iwconfig say anything Invalid or unusual
[06:18] <lsproc> WonderWal: Google
[06:18] <doogle> WonderWal: "man interfaces"
[06:19] <zntneo> lsproc: no it does
[06:19] <lsproc> zntneo: So it does have invalid stuff?
[06:19] <zntneo> no it doesn't have anything that looks invalid
[06:19] <zntneo> other then AP is not Associated
[06:20] <lsproc> zntneo: Ok, is there anything else weird?
[06:20] <zntneo> not that i can tell
[06:20] <lsproc> zntneo: Sometimes i get 1mb/s and the card doesnt work
[06:20] <ubuntu__> ok I am in the proccess of doing grub rescue but I don't understand this line: Type "root (hd0,6)", or whatever your harddisk + boot partition numbers are (my /boot is at /dev/sda7, which translates to hd0,6 for grub).  my root system is installed on hda1
[06:20] <zntneo> how about i pastebin the output
[06:21] <lsproc> zntneo: As long as you remove anything sensitive, e.g. AP mac addresses and your ESSID
[06:21] <zntneo> there s no mac address
[06:21] <zntneo> in iwconfig
[06:21] <lsproc> zntneo: It comes under Access Point
[06:22] <zntneo> Well i'm not associated with one at the time being so i do'nt have a mac address
[06:22] <lsproc> zntneo: THATS THE PROBLEM!
[06:22] <zntneo> I know but how do i get it to associate with it
[06:22] <lsproc> zntneo: Is your essid set?
[06:22] <zntneo> yes
[06:22] <lsproc> ok
[06:22] <lsproc> as root...
[06:23] <zntneo> so using sudo?
[06:23] <zntneo> Sorry if i was being confusing
[06:23] <lsproc> ifdown (name here) && iwconfig (name here) ap any && ifup (name here)
[06:23] <lsproc> yes
[06:23] <lsproc> replace name here with wlan0, eth0 etc.
[06:24] <zntneo> says set failed on device wlan0 ; operation not permitted
[06:24] <zntneo> for set ap address
[06:24] <lsproc> umm, are you root?
[06:24] <zntneo> yea i put sudo infront of it
[06:24] <Discerer> I have a gentoo installation on my disk. is there something I have to do before installing gentoo or can I just install over?
[06:24] <lsproc> well, it seems the driver is broken, or the card
[06:25] <lsproc> Discerer: Back up :P
[06:25] <Discerer> nah I dont have anything on the gentoo-thing, just want it to go away
[06:25] <zntneo> :(
[06:25] <lsproc> Discerer: Ok, just install Ubuntu over it, formatting the disk
[06:25] <Discerer> ok nice
[06:25] <Discerer> thanks
[06:25] <rellis> When I do 'ethtool eth0' it reports 'Speed: Unknown! (65535)' 'Duplex: Unknown! (255)'... I have verified the drop I'm going into is good. The NIC I'm using is on-board and I've tried three different system boards.  Try #3com (if that exists) or #linux
[06:26] <raghu206> how to change totem for handling links in MMS protocol
[06:27] <admin123> How do I configure my X automaticly?
[06:27] <admin123> How does one configure X automaticly?
[06:28] <lsproc> admin123: No can do
[06:28] <admin123> lsproc, yes can do, look at the alternate installer for example.
[06:28] <chx> i installed ubuntu base via PXE boot. now, I copied the rest , mounted it in /mnt , apt-cdrom recogns it (apt-cdrom add -d /mnt -m) adds to sources.list but apt-get update simply ignores is
[06:28] <admin123> lsproc, or when you boot the ubuntu installer.
[06:28] <octan> any iptables dudas in here? i need some help with one rule
[06:28] <lsproc> admin123: Well, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:28] <lsproc> but that might bring up command line mode
[06:28] <admin123> lsproc, yes but that's not interactive
[06:28] <octan> /sbin/iptables -A OUTPUT -m owner --cmd-owner ktorrent -j LOG --log-level DEBUG --log-prefix "OUTPUT pack died: "
[06:29] <octan> whats wrong with that command
[06:29] <admin123> lsproc, even with -phigh it is interactive
[06:29] <doogle> oslo: I've not used par2 before, but it looks useful.  what was your question about it?
[06:29] <lsproc> admin123: You may have to read the ubuntu express code, i have no idea

[06:33] <TokenBad> ok figured the grub stuff out...but it didn't fix my problem...the problem is I had windows installed...and then installed ubuntu...but it didn't set grub up to let me pick windows....
[06:33] <TokenBad> so anyone know how to get grub to let me pick windows to load?
[06:33] <slavi1> admin123: doesn't help
[06:34] <segfault_> TokenBad, is ur issue that the grub menu doesnt come up or that it does but does not contain windows?
[06:34] <zntneo> question when i do a uname -a and it says #2 SMP what does that mean?
[06:34] <TokenBad> segfault_, it comes up...but don't contain windows
[06:34] <admin123> slavi1, if you didn't mess with pam, the check if t's reproducible, if so then fie bug.
[06:34] <Alagipe> boa tarde, tem algum brasileiro aqui???
[06:34] <renin> Hey! if anyone is available I have a problem with Kubuntu reading my two SATA drives. I'm trying to mount them.
[06:34] <oslo> doogle> i want to repair all different .par2 files with one command like a unrar all files which ends by .rar with "rar e *.rar"
[06:34] <segfault_> TokenBad, u will need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add an entry for windows
[06:34] <admin123> slavi1, excuse my errors, keyboard issues here
[06:35] <TokenBad> segfault_, I understand that...but is there info on how to?
[06:35] <zntneo> anyone have any clue?
[06:35] <quiet> there's a sample already there to uncomment
[06:35] <quiet> just adjust the partition number.
[06:35] <zntneo> does that mean i have the SMP kernel?
[06:35] <segfault_> TokenBad, google
[06:35] <doogle> oslo: how about: for i in *.rar do par2 r something.par $i; done
[06:35] <quiet> zntneo, yes.
[06:35] <slavi1> pam?
[06:36] <TokenBad> segfault_, I know that to...but not sure what to search for
[06:36] <zntneo> I shouldn't have that because i'm not on a computer with more then 1 processor
[06:36] <quiet> zntneo, if you don't need smp... then install  linux-image-2.6-686  (or whatever)
[06:36] <quiet> zntneo, hyer threading?
[06:36] <quiet> hyper.
[06:36] <zntneo> nope
[06:36] <doogle> oslo: is there one .par file for each .rar file?  or how does it work?
[06:36] <slavi1> admin123: I have to enter correct password twice for login and sudo and gksudo doesn't work properly because of this, I have filed a bug here: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gksu/+bug/71794
[06:36] <segfault_> TokenBad, i will not help if u cannot attempt to help urself
[06:36] <quiet> do 'top' and then hit the number '1'
[06:36] <quiet> do you see 2 processors?
[06:36] <slavi1> admin123: I haven't messed with pam
[06:37] <zntneo> i don't believe so
[06:37] <TokenBad> segfault_, I have tried....but not sure what to put into google...I mean I know grub needs to be edit..and want to do that...but not sure how to word it in google to get the info I need
[06:37] <quiet> if you did.. on the top you would see   cpu0: and cpu1:
[06:37] <zntneo> no i don't see that
[06:37] <quiet> zntneo, using an smp kernel on a non-smp machine won't hurt anything... you just don't need it.
[06:37] <Abst> Can you have more than one sound playing at once? e.g. mplayer playing one thing, totem playing another
[06:38] <quiet> zntneo, what is the cpu, fopr clarification.
[06:38] <quiet> s/fopr/for/
[06:38] <zntneo> P3
[06:38] <utente> ciao a tutti
[06:38] <quiet> zntneo, then install  linux-image-2.6-686

[06:39] <zntneo> fi tried that it says t couldn't find any package named that
[06:39] <renin> Can anyone help me with a mounting issue? I have two SATAs can't be read and mounted by Kubuntu.
[06:39] <segfault_> TokenBad, apparently not because serching for grub windows in google yeilds results that will likely solve ur issue
[06:39] <oslo> doogle> u have a xxx.par2 file with other files like xxx.part**+**.par2 for a set or only rar files.
[06:39] <quiet> zntneo, search linux'image
[06:39] <quiet> linux-image
[06:39] <doogle> oslo: so just run "par2 r xxx"
[06:39] <TokenBad> segfault_, I was thinking of the commands...sorry
[06:39] <doogle> oslo: that will repair all files
[06:39] <Doow> do I have to do anything special to mount ntfs rw? change some module for the kernel or so?
[06:40] <zntneo> it says linux-image-86 is obsoleted by linux-image-generic
[06:40] <adam_> wazzup!
[06:40] <doogle> !ntfs-3g | Doow
[06:40] <ubotu> Doow: ntfs-3g is a linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution. Dapper installation instructions http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710
[06:40] <segfault_> Doow, iirc u need to pass -o rw to mount

[06:41] <Poromenos> how can i move an entire directory tree in the command line?
[06:41] <adam_> Genjuro, are you passing thru a router?
[06:41] <segfault_> Poromenos, mv
[06:41] <oslo> doogle> look, 3 main par files for 3 differrent set of files: like 1xxx.par2, 2xxx.par2 & 3xxx.par2 if i run par2 r *x.par2 it will repair only one set of files !
[06:41] <zntneo> hmm it lookks like my wireless card is having an addrconf
[06:41] <Poromenos> segfault_: it's telling me it can't move directories
[06:41] <zntneo> what ever that means
[06:41] <specialbuddy> does anyone know how to change the permissions of a portable harddrive?
[06:42] <Poromenos> segfault_: no, wait, it isn't :(
[06:42] <zntneo> Does anyone know how to fix that?
[06:42] <Poromenos> segfault_: thanks :(
[06:42] <slavi1> admin123: any ideas?
[06:42] <Genjuro> adam_ i'm tryed to put in router, but when i execute dhclient the kernel crash
[06:42] <segfault_> Poromenos, np
[06:42] <Poromenos> zntneo: assign it a different address, probably
[06:42] <adam_> Genjuro, are you currently trying to go thru a router?
[06:42] <oslo> but with 3 differents  files 1x.rar & 2y.rar & 3z.rar ; rar e *.rar will extract all 3 differrent rar files
[06:42] <zntneo> how do i do that
[06:42] <Genjuro> yes
[06:42] <oslo> do u understand ?
[06:42] <admin123> slavi1, a look at it in a bit
[06:42] <Genjuro> i'm using this in windows

[06:42] <oslo> doogle
[06:42] <Genjuro> in linux i can't ping my modemm
[06:42] <doogle> oslo: I see.
[06:42] <adam_> Genjuro, the pppoe should only be held in the router settings, configure your wireless or nic as dhcp
[06:42] <Genjuro> here i ping
[06:43] <slavi1> admin123: could you please pm any info? I am at work and my job involves leaving my desk a lot ...
[06:43] <specialbuddy> does anyone know how to change the permissions of a portable harddrive?
[06:43] <Genjuro> adam_ when scans for a modem the pppoeconf crashes my kernel
[06:43] <Genjuro> adam_ i put another ethernet card, but the problem continues
[06:44] <adam_> Genjuro, pppoe doesnt use a modem here...
[06:44] <doogle> oslo: I don't think the par2 command can work on more than one set of files at a time, but you can write a loop in bash that will run par2 multiple times
[06:44] <adam_> Genjuro, im on verizon fios, with pppoe, i have it configured in the router, then just jump on it via dhcp
[06:44] <Genjuro> Genjuro, i'm from brazil...
[06:44] <slavi1> specialbuddy: to apply permissions recursively?
[06:44] <pianoboy3333> Can anyone here help me with using git?
[06:44] <slavi1> adam_: you're lucky ...
[06:45] <adam_> slavi1, i dont question that, im lucky im alive everyday... 8)
[06:45] <Genjuro> adam_ my modem is a speedstream 4200 do you know this?
[06:45] <specialbuddy> slavil, no just change them
[06:45] <specialbuddy> slavil, I can't change them at all
[06:45] <adam_> Genjuro, no, i do not know that modem.
[06:45] <slavi1> specialbuddy: as in you want all files to be readable and such?
[06:45] <adam_> Genjuro, your setup is a bit different than mine

[06:46] <adam_> Genjuro, can you configure the router to see the modem?
[06:46] <Megatron> ciao come faccio x una chat italiana

[06:47] <jeronim> any idea why /etc/sysctl.conf in edgy appears not to have any effect?
[06:47] <zliners> i mean hello sory fergot its the english channel my bad :d
[06:47] <jenda> Ctrl and Super work perfectly.
[06:47] <adam_> Genjuro, yes i do understand you. ubuntu should not care about it being pppoe, it should just jump on it via dhcp, if not, then there should be a package you need for pppoe
[06:47] <dv5237> hallo zliners voor een nederlands talige channel ga naar #ubuntu-nl [/dutch]

[06:49] <VR_> well, i'll need more space for home. got all my stuff...
[06:49] <seraphim_> VR_: i would recommend minimum 6 ...
[06:49] <VR_> seraphim_: thanks
[06:49] <adam_> Genjuro, you need the package pppoeconf

[06:50] <MidMark> someone has problem with dvd with one session see as blank?
[06:50] <VR_> another question: does it matter in which order the partitions are created? i see some people have /, swap, then /home, etc.
[06:50] <adam_> Genjuro, and its not configureable? is it finding your nic?
[06:50] <seraphim_> VR_: that doesn't matter
[06:50] <Genjuro> adam_ no no
[06:50] <VR_> ok
[06:50] <Genjuro> adam_ it's crases when i execute
[06:50] <adam_> Genjuro, so, its not finding your network interface card?
[06:51] <Genjuro> adam_ i put sudo pppoeconf
[06:51] <lsproc> VR_: I have my / partition, then swap, but i have some NTFS before that too :P
[06:51] <Genjuro> adam_ the kernel opens the program
[06:51] <Laggeon> bonjour
[06:51] <adam_> Genjuro, i understand, but if it doesnt know what your ethernet card is, it will crash
[06:51] <VR_> lsproc: yeah, i have 60GB to spread out, but im not really sure how to divide it up
[06:51] <Genjuro> adam_ the program found my 2 interfaces
[06:51] <MidMark> someone has problem with dvd with one session see as blank?
[06:51] <hamdinp> What am i do for play mp3?
[06:52] <Genjuro> adam_ when i running the scan to found the nic the kernel crashes

[06:52] <lsproc> VR_: 10 gig for root, 5 gig for swap, 10 gig for home, 5 gig for /boot (which is wasteful), and rest for /usr
[06:52] <lsproc> thats reccomended, but i have
[06:52] <adam_> Genjuro, above my head, sorry i cant help...
[06:52] <seraphim_> 5 gig swap? :D
[06:52] <VR_> 5 gig swap!?
[06:52] <VR_> haha
[06:52] <lsproc> 60 gig for / and 3 gig for swap:P
[06:52] <lsproc> handy if you do a lot of junk like me :P
[06:52] <VR_> my swap is like 1 gig
[06:52] <adam_> !pppoe
[06:52] <ubotu> Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE
[06:52] <hamdinp> I install Ubuntu 6.6.1 now
[06:53] <VR_> btw, why do i need a separate /boot?
[06:53] <adam_> Genjuro, do you see that?
[06:53] <Genjuro> adam_ yes
[06:53] <adam_> Genjuro, have you followed it?
[06:53] <seraphim_> VR_: because you can then mount it read-only, which provides some security
[06:53] <Genjuro> adam_ i'm follow
[06:53] <adam_> Genjuro, ok
[06:53] <Genjuro> adam_ let me see this
[06:53] <adam_> Genjuro, ok, good luck
[06:53] <VR_> mmmhm
[06:53] <lsproc> VR_: Plus you can keep your grub stuff in case of reinstall
[06:53] <VR_> 2gb is enough for swap, right?
[06:54] <VR_> oh ok
[06:54] <zliners> oke is there a java expert here ?
[06:54] <lsproc> VR_: Old rule of thumb was double the installed
[06:54] <VR_> how about the new
[06:54] <seraphim_> if you got enough ram, half of it is enough too
[06:54] <lsproc> VR_: There isnt one, I just use that (goes back to days of RedHat 9)
[06:54] <seraphim_> i got 1gig ram and swap nearly isn't touched
[06:54] <seraphim_> so i only have 512mb
[06:55] <tokenbad> segfault_, ok I found some info but question...how do you know what to put for the hd0,0 info...my windows in on the hdc1 partition
[06:55] <tokenbad> segfault_, for grub I mean
[06:55] <zliners> Is there a java expert here ?
[06:55] <Genjuro> adam_ my pppeoconf don't pass to 2 stage (enter username) its crashes my kernel
[06:55] <adam_> Genjuro, what kernel are you running?
[06:56] <Sarkie> Hi all, I am having problems with Ubuntu 6.10 alternate cd, on an old celeron 400mhz lappy, it dies at login, with or without entering the login details, any help would be appreciated
[06:56] <Genjuro> adam_ 2.6 (i don't remenber the another parameters
[06:56] <adam_> Genjuro, have you updated your kernel to the latest?
[06:56] <segfault_> tokenbad, so u have 3 hds and windows is on the first partition of the 3rd hd?
[06:56] <jonzkuli> are you trying in with graphical frontend like gnome
[06:57] <tokenbad> segfault_, yes...I tried hd0,3 but not work
[06:57] <segfault_> tokenbad, would be hd(2,0)
[06:57] <Genjuro> adam_ i cannot update because i don't have the internet conncetion -.-
[06:57] <tokenbad> segfault_, 2,0 or 3,0....
[06:57] <Sarkie> jonzkuli: that to me?
[06:57] <Genjuro> adam_ but, i'm have a dapper drake cd here
[06:58] <adam_> Genjuro, my suggestion, would be to download the new edgy, and install that via upgrade, then try
[06:58] <segfault_> tokenbad, would be hd2,0, grub drive and partition numbering begins at 0
[06:58] <Genjuro> adam_ i can't running this because is very very slow
[06:59] <adam_> Genjuro, im sorry, but without upgrading your kernel, and without upgrading your version, i cant help you. someone else may be able to

[07:05] <CheshireViking> Hi, is anybody having problems with MSN at the minute? I've tried Gaim & Amsn, neither is sending messages - The error it gives is "Message could not be sent because an error with the switchboard occurred"
[07:05] <jenda> Help! My alt key isn't working. It doesn't work in most key combinations, but works with F12 for tomboy, and with Ctrl+Backspace for X restart. It has a xev response, obviously, but won't do any work. I am on XGL.

[07:07] <runpain> invaild driver arrrrrrrgh
[07:07] <nolimitsoya> bunnythebunny, edit the screen section of xorg.con
[07:07] <nolimitsoya> *f
[07:07] <variant> holy sh#t, sun confirms that it's going to use the GPL for java !!!!! awsome!!!
[07:07] <CheshireViking> livingdaylight: phi?
[07:08] <alecjw> alanhaggai: http://www.sorgonet.com/linux/grubrestore/
[07:08] <bunnythebunny> nolimitsoya I cant find it in xorg.conf.
[07:08] <Limulf> About alanhaggai's problem: I downloaded this neat program: "Super Grub Disk". You burn it to a CD and boot with it. It fixes that kind of issues (my linux knowledge is null, so plz correct me if this method should not be used)
[07:09] <runpain> i have a 2wire wireless pcmcia card on a laptop i have tried step by step and it states in term it is a invaild driver
[07:09] <alanhaggai> thanks alecjw :)
[07:09] <runpain> have been at this for 3 weeks
[07:09] <slougi> anyone else having problems with msn?
[07:09] <VR_> seraphim_: how do you check whether the swap is being used?
[07:09] <alanhaggai> Limulf thanks for the info :)
[07:09] <CheshireViking> sloghi: yep, just asked the same question
[07:09] <slougi> CheshireViking: all right, thanks
[07:10] <bunnythebunny> VR_ go to System -> Administration -> System Monitor
[07:10] <krampo> yeah, yeah, MSN has problems
[07:10] <hamdinp> adam That's it
[07:10] <hamdinp> Thank you
[07:10] <seraphim_> VR_: top
[07:10] <VR_> bunnythebunny: great, thanks
[07:10] <hamdinp> adam_ That's it
[07:10] <hamdinp> its works
[07:10] <bunnythebunny> VR_ no problem.
[07:10] <VR_> seraphim_: thank you too sir
[07:11] <Sarkie> from recovery mode how do i start gnome, with no sound and no mouse ?
[07:12] <oangefly> how do you add a group to the server....???....
[07:12] <bunnythebunny> I'm giving my kidneys and my legs to anyone who tells mew hre in xorg.conf do i change my screen refresh rate.
[07:12] <bunnythebunny> where*
[07:12] <nolimitsoya> bunnythebunny, in the screen section, as i said
[07:13] <dv5237> is there a way to check what package if got installed pref. whit a CLI?
[07:13] <Limulf> I want Ubuntu (6.10) to start without opening any windows from its previous use, so I have changed my session configuration, unchecking the save session changes automatically option. My problem is that i don't know how to prevent from appearing two windows: the session manager and a Nautilus window showing my home directory. I have tried to remove the gnome-session-properties from the current session tab in the session manager
[07:13] <Limulf> window,  but after closing and opening again the session manager, the gnome-session-properties program is again there. This is hardly an annoyance, but I would like to know the solution anyway. Thanks for your time and work.
[07:13] <HoY1> Hey does anyone have ubuntu running on a laptop with an ATI Radeon video card?
[07:13] <HoY1> I am having trouble with the S-Video out
[07:13] <Joe_CoT> HoY1: yes
[07:13] <nolimitsoya> Limulf, save a new session with nothing open, and _then_ disable the save session-feature
[07:13] <HoY1> do you know how to setup the S-Video out
[07:14] <Joe_CoT> HoY1: 200m, haven't tried s-video. sorry
[07:14] <HoY1> oh okay thanks n e ways
[07:14] <dv5237> is there a way to check what package if got installed pref. whit a CLI?
[07:14] <HoY1> has anyone had luck with S-Video out?
[07:14] <bunnythebunny> nolimitsoya, this is what i have under "Screen" Section "Screen"
[07:14] <bunnythebunny> 	Identifier	"Default Screen"
[07:14] <bunnythebunny> 	Device		"NVIDIA Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600 GT] "
[07:14] <bunnythebunny> 	Monitor		"L1718S"
[07:14] <bunnythebunny> 	DefaultDepth	24
[07:14] <bunnythebunny> (sorry for flood)
[07:14] <Limulf> nolimitsoya: Thx, I'll do that right now :)
[07:14] <jenda> bunnythebunny: please use the pastebin
[07:14] <skelter> what is the command line to open nautilus to a certain directory?
[07:15] <Don-DiZzLe> I want to permanently mount an XFS partition called /dev/sdb1, what is the correct entry in fstab?
[07:15] <nolimitsoya> !pastebin | bunnythebunny
[07:15] <ubotu> bunnythebunny: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[07:15] <jenda> skelter: nautilus <directory>
[07:15] <dooglus> Limulf: isn't there an option to ask whether to save the session when you log out?
[07:15] <skelter> nevermind
[07:15] <skelter> lol yeah i should have just tried that ebfore asking
[07:15] <CheshireViking> krampo & sloughi: Just tried msn between to windows machines and that doesn't work either, must be an microsoft/msn fault - surprise, surprise
[07:15] <jenda> My alt key isn't working. It doesn't work in most key combinations, but works with F12 for tomboy, and with Ctrl+Backspace for X restart. It has a xev response, obviously, but won't do any work. I am on XGL.
[07:15] <HoY1> does anyone have s-video working with Ubuntu?
[07:15] <krampo> :)
[07:15] <nolimitsoya> bunnythebunny, look under monitor then
[07:15] <Don-DiZzLe> I want to permanently mount an XFS partition called /dev/sdb1, what is the correct entry in fstab? anyone anyone?
[07:16] <nolimitsoya> bunnythebunny, xorg.conf realy isnt that big ;)
[07:16] <nolimitsoya> Don-DiZzLe, /dev/sdb1 /<mount/point/> -t xfs defaults 0 2
[07:16] <Limulf> dooglus: I don't see that option when I logout. Anyway i'm going to try nolimitsoya's advice. Thx
[07:17] <dooglus> Don-DiZzLe: /dev/sdb1 /mnt/mount-point xfs defaults 0 0
[07:17] <Sikon> how to make VMware use the system GTK instead of its own?
[07:17] <dooglus> Lobster: go for it.
[07:17] <Don-DiZzLe> well which one is it?
[07:17] <Don-DiZzLe> and how do u know that?
[07:17] <skelter> what argument do i pass nautilus to have it open to the same thing that double clicking "computer" does?
[07:17] <Lobster> hu?
[07:17] <tonyyarusso> I have a problem mounting a USB external hard drive on a Dapper machine running the server kernel image (no device even registers in /dev)- has anyone run into this?
[07:17] <nolimitsoya> Don-DiZzLe, the -t in my line is reduntant, otherwise they are identical :)
[07:17] <bunnythebunny> nolimitsoya, I have looked under both of them, theres nothing.  Besides the extreme ultra uber boggedness this system has. It makes windows look like an eficient fast system. but yes, nothing under monitor that indicates a refresh rate thingy. Im going to recheck.
[07:17] <dooglus> Don-DiZzLe: it's my one :)  "man fstab"
[07:18] <dooglus> nolimitsoya: redundant?  or incorrect?
[07:18] <Sarkie> How do i start gnome without sound or mouse enabled?
[07:18] <nolimitsoya> dooglus, i dont think id do any damage, but i have never tried it :)
[07:18] <nolimitsoya> *itd
[07:18] <skelter> the -t used to be required for specifying the file system type, no?
[07:19] <skelter> i think it is legacy
[07:19] <dooglus> nolimitsoya: according to the man page, the 3rd field should be the system type, not "-t" - that's not a system type
[07:19] <bunnythebunny> this is what ive got under monitor: Identifier	"L1718S"   Option		"DPMS"
[07:20] <dooglus> nolimitsoya: when I tried it, it told me "[mntent] : line 22 in /etc/fstab is bad"
[07:20] <nolimitsoya> dooglus, then its not only redundant, but wrong. happy? :)
[07:20] <dooglus> skelter: you're probably thinking of the 'mount' command, not the fstab file
[07:20] <zliners> how do i compile an svn of java in ubuntu ?
[07:20] <thevenin> what would cause saslauthd to return nothing after doing ehlo localhost
[07:21] <skelter> i was, you're right.
[07:21] <thevenin> i did telnet localhost 25 before that command
[07:21] <dooglus> nolimitsoya: an admission of guilt isn't enough.  I'll need a full apology I'm afraid.  ;)
[07:21] <Don-DiZzLe> /dev/sdb1      /home/SAMSUNG      xfs   logbufs=8,noatime,nodiratime   0 2 howabout this one?
[07:21] <jessicafl> I'm trying to upgrade from 6.06 to 6.10 but I get an error with the URL http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper-updates/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz (says it's not in GZIP).  Can anyone help?
[07:22] <bunnythebunny> edgy!
[07:22] <bunnythebunny> !edgy
[07:22] <ubotu> Ubuntu 6.10 (codenamed Edgy Eft) is the latest version of Ubuntu. To upgrade to Edgy, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades - To download Edgy: http://www.ubuntu.com/download
[07:22] <siegie> hi i have a problem with mail notification, i see regularly that it is using 100 % of my cpu in edgy
[07:22] <Don-DiZzLe> thats a nautilus bug
[07:22] <dooglus> jessicafl: I would try deleting the file from the cache and re-running whatever you're running ( /var/lib/apt/lists/ )
[07:26] <minimec> jessicafl: If you are upgrading to edgy you can deactivate this source. It's a dapper source.
[07:26] <henna_> evening dad
[07:26] <jessicafl> bunnythebunny + ubotu: That's when I get the error.  When I do the 'gksu "update-manager -c"'
[07:26] <jessicafl> Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper-updates/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)
[07:27] <minimec> jessicafl: If you are upgrading to edgy you can deactivate this source. It's a dapper source.
[07:27] <siegie> bunnythebunny: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg (and than i says xorg not found?)
[07:27] <Don-DiZzLe> ok i read it but what does 'dump'  mean then?
[07:28] <dooglus> Don-DiZzLe: 'dump' is for doing backups.
[07:28] <dooglus> Don-DiZzLe: if you don't use 'dump' then that field doesn't matter
[07:28] <Don-DiZzLe> so its a good this to have it on?
[07:28] <jessicafl> minimec: I had to reconnect.  I just saw  your last comment about deactivate this source.  How can I do this?  Thanks!
[07:28] <dooglus> Don-DiZzLe: it's good to make backups, but I doubt you're using 'dump'
[07:28] <Don-DiZzLe> indeed
[07:28] <henna_> evening Noah0504
[07:29] <minimec> jessicafl: you can edit /etc/apt/sources.list and make a # in front of this source, or you can do it in the menu of synaptic.
[07:29] <jessicafl> awesome! thanks
[07:29] <DShepherd> anyone know a text editor that supports folding?
[07:29] <dooglus> DShepherd: 'kate' does
[07:29] <minimec> jessicafl: np
[07:29] <DShepherd> dooglus: something for gnome maybe?
[07:30] <GeForce> hello everyone, I have an almighty issue... I am trying to install AIGLX atm, and ended up with a bigger issue. When ubuntu boots, X crashes. So I login in text mode, do startx, and then it works (But without sound), anyone has a clue wth is wrong!?
[07:30] <dooglus> DShepherd: I don't know.
[07:30] <henna_> hallo GeForce
[07:30] <skelter> is there a way to make nautilus ask for confirmation before deleting something?
[07:30] <GeForce> hello henna_
[07:30] <skelter> GeForce: try #ubuntu-xgl
[07:30] <henna_> hoi
[07:30] <lullabud> DShepherd:  folding?
[07:30] <dooglus> DShepherd: how about 'vim-gnome'?
[07:30] <GeForce> hrm, k thanks
[07:31] <DShepherd> lullabud: code folding
[07:31] <henna_> how r you my dearest beloving dad
[07:31] <henna_> cool,right
[07:31] <lullabud> DShepherd:  huh.... i don't know what that is.
[07:31] <henna_> you welcome
[07:31] <alecjw> does anyone know how i can make wlan0 connect in the command line
[07:31] <alecjw> ?
[07:31] <henna_> can we play a game overhere
[07:31] <birdfish> Does anyone know why "ifconfig > ifconfig.out" would render a 0-bit file?
[07:31] <lullabud> henna_:  are you a real person?
[07:31] <lullabud> alecjw:  did you try iwconfig?
[07:31] <henna_> who are you lullabud?
[07:32] <bunnythebunny> Is it possible that edgy didn't configure my graphic drivers probably and now the whole system is extremely slow?
[07:32] <lsproc> birdfish: No, but try | tee or something...
[07:32] <bunnythebunny> And if so, i just have to get the nvidia linux drivers, from Nvidia right?
[07:32] <alecjw> lullabud: yes. it returns some info about my config, but that's all
[07:32] <godstand2> invaild driver arrrrrrrgh
[07:32] <henna_> yep
[07:32] <godstand2> i have a 2wire wireless pcmcia card on a laptop i have tried step by step and it states in term it is a invaild driver
[07:32] <jessicafl> minimec or anyone: I see deb and deb-src that have 'dapper-updates' in them, but they don't have the whole url...(with packages.gz included).  I'm guessing I should disable deb (not -src), but will I lose out on bug fix updates?
[07:33] <godstand2> have been at this for 3 weeks
[07:33] <alecjw> lullabud: but it says Access Point: Not-Ascossiated, could that be a problem?
[07:33] <DShepherd> lullabud: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_folding
[07:33] <lullabud> alecjw:  yeah, read the man page about how to associate with an AP using iwconfig
[07:34] <henna_> who of you can speak a little bit dutch???
[07:34] <dooglus> jessicafl: you shouldn't see full urls.  and you need "deb" but not "deb-src" unless you want to download source code

[07:35] <henna_> coffee
[07:35] <birdfish> lsproc: thanks, it worked for me :)
[07:35] <alecjw> lullabud: it knows the essid, what else does it need to know?
[07:35] <jessicafl> dooglus: I'm trying to upgrade from 6.06 to 6.10 but during upgrade it says http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper-updates/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz is not gzip and fails it.
[07:35] <lsproc> birdfish: No prob :)
[07:35] <jamesbrink> anyone know why the bcm43xx driver wont scan ?
[07:35] <lullabud> alecjw:  if there's security it needs to know that.
[07:35] <lsproc> jamesbrink: Have you installed the firmware?
[07:35] <jamesbrink> yeah
[07:35] <mo> when i'm trying to boot windows, i get "Grub Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format" what can i do?
[07:35] <lullabud> alecjw:  and if that's all good, and the interface is up, try `dhclient` or `pump`
[07:36] <jamesbrink> scan always comes back empty
[07:36] <lsproc> jamesbrink: I dont think it is capable, ask #bcm-users
[07:36] <segfault_> !grub | mo
[07:36] <ubotu> mo: 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
[07:36] <alecjw> lullabud: i don't have any security
[07:36] <lullabud> mo:  boot to the livecd and do `grub-install`
[07:36] <jamesbrink> well i know it works in gentoo
[07:36] <jamesbrink> im new to ubuntu im gona check the kernel settings i guess
[07:36] <dooglus> jessicafl: well, the thing is, http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper-updates/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz is in gzip format, so it must be your local cached copy which isn't
[07:36] <godstand2> ok can some one help me get the 2wire wireless to work please
[07:37] <mo> segfault_, lullabud: my grub works. i can boot xubuntu properly. shoud i reinstall grub anyway?
[07:37] <lullabud> mo: no reason not to. ;-)
[07:37] <jessicafl> dooglus: Thanks, I'm new to Ubuntu if you can't tell already :) How can I clear the cache?  The only cache I know how to clear is FireFox'.
[07:37] <Sikon> jessicafl> what cache?
[07:37] <mo> lullabud: can i reinstall grub from within xubuntu?
[07:37] <Sikon> and it's Firefox, not FireFox
[07:37] <godstand2> please
[07:37] <lullabud> mo: if it's working fine though, try re-installing right from within ubuntu, not the livecd.
[07:37] <segfault_> mo, read that info maybe will help u find ur issue, ur windows entry is likely wrong, as grub sounds like it is installed correctly
[07:38] <alecjw> lullabud: dhclient tries to use wmaster but i want to ude wlan0, i hve the line auto wlan0 in /etc/network/interfaces file
[07:38] <mo> lullabud, segfault_: thanks
[07:38] <bunnythebunny> I need to exit X. how do i do that?
[07:38] <jessicafl> Sikon: jessicafl: well, the thing is, http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper-updates/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz is in gzip format, so it must be your local cached copy which isn't (that's what I'm trying to do).
[07:38] <jessicafl> Sorry about Firefox.
[07:38] <lullabud> alecjw:  it should all interfaces that are up.
[07:38] <alecjw> ok, thanks, lullabud
[07:38] <dooglus> jessicafl: run:    sudo rm -f /var/lib/apt/lists/*
[07:38] <alecjw> i'll try it#
[07:38] <lullabud> alecjw:  i know you can specify an interface with pump using `pump -i wlan0` or `pump -i eth1` or whatever.
[07:38] <jessicafl> ok! thanks dooglus
[07:39] <henna_> cann't any one tell me if there is a possiblity to play board games overhere
[07:39] <dooglus> henna_: you're a program aren't you?
[07:40] <lullabud> dooglus:  that's what i say.
[07:40] <mo> lullabud: simply sudo update-grub and sudo grub-install /dev/sda?
[07:40] <lullabud> mo: yeah, that should suffice.
[07:40] <bunnythebunny> Please, someone, tell me how i can close the x interface
[07:41] <mo> lullabud: ok, thanks. i will try it
[07:41] <bunnythebunny> Or fill me in the right terminology
[07:41] <dooglus> bunnythebunny: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[07:41] <bunnythebunny> thank you dooglus
[07:41] <narvik86> bunnythebunny: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop

[07:41] <henna_> see you all
[07:41] <bthornton> This is not directly Linux related, but does anybody know of some [somewhat]  widely accepted standard for embedding mathematical formulas in email?  Does Evolution have any tools for that?
[07:41] <henna_> bye
[07:42] <jessicafl> dooglus: that did the trick!  thanks a LOT!  I'm starting the upgrade and it said to close my apps, so I'll be back later.  thanks again!!! :)
[07:42] <LjL> bthornton, i think MathML is part of the HTML standard by now, and there exists such thing as HTML emails (unfortunately)
[07:42] <alecjw> lullabud: dhclient only checked wmaster, even if i left it to finish
[07:42] <lullabud> alecjw:  do you see wlan0 if you do `iwconfig` ?
[07:42] <bthornton> LjL: sweet; I'll look into that. Thanks!
[07:42] <henna_> who are you any way, dooglus?
[07:43] <alecjw> lullabud: yes.
[07:43] <mo> lullabud: my grob-problem is not solved... :(
[07:43] <minimec> jessicafl: dapper-updates means update for the dapper distro (6.06). Since you are upgrading to edgy, forget this source. You don't need it anymore.

[07:44] <mo> lullabud: do you have an idea?
[07:45] <M3G4crux> can I associate a hostname for certain network interfaces?
[07:45] <webben> Jaak_, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=94713
[07:45] <webben> Jaak_, for instance
[07:45] <lullabud> M3G4crux:  that's a good question...  after playing with solaris i wondered if that was possible in linux.
[07:45] <M3G4crux> it seems some of my interfaces are not bound to my hostname and I need to fix this
[07:45] <dooglus> lullabud: i'm not sure
[07:45] <M3G4crux> oh I see lullabud , how was that made in solaris?
[07:45] <henna_> can you play games here?
[07:46] <lullabud> mo:  nah, no idea with your grub problem.
[07:46] <Jaak_> webben, thanks for pointing me in a direction
[07:46] <dooglus> henna_: where?
[07:46] <lullabud> M3G4crux:  hostname.eth0 or whatever, i think.
[07:46] <henna_> ihere

[07:49] <M3G4crux> yeah I could imagine that jhahahaha
[07:49] <lullabud> M3G4crux:  i'm not sure if it's possible in linux.

[07:57] <lullabud> aktiwers:  it's in the server settings
[07:57] <lullabud> aktiwers:  there's an option to issue commands when you connect to a server.
[07:58] <aktiwers> Hmm I cant seam to find it? :/

[07:59] <Trixsey> How do I cd to the CD? :p
[07:59] <aktiwers> ahhh
[07:59] <Trixsey> cd = change dir, CD = compact disc
[07:59] <LjL> Trixsey: cd /media/cdrom most likely
[07:59] <Trixsey> in my case :p
[07:59] <Trixsey> oh ok
[07:59] <LjL> course it has to be mounted
[07:59] <fredl> I think it's because of the screensaver, as I sit here working all dat and no problems at all. I come back after dinner and some TV or so and my entire keyboard is locked up.
[07:59] <aktiwers> or cd /media/cdrom0 or whatever number it has
[08:00] <LjL> aktiwers: yes, cdrom is a symlink to cdrom0 here though
[08:00] <aktiwers> ahh ok :)
[08:00] <jackyyll> is there a file that has all the Applications menus app launchers in it?
[08:00] <aktiwers> anyone remember the command then, for loggin in? (here on IRC)

[08:01] <jackyyll> cp -r

[08:01] <LjL> Ubotu, please tell Trixsey about cli
[08:01] <jackyyll> nobody knows an answer to my question? :/

[08:02] <Zambezi> Anybody know how to build a debfile from source?
[08:02] <fredl> jackyyll, it's entirely possible that somebody does but not everybody pays attention here :)

[08:02] <jackyyll> well, do you know the answer fredl? ;p
[08:02] <aktiwers> LjL when using that login "command" I get this message?  No channel joined. Try /join #<channel
[08:02] <LjL> Zambezi: dpkg-buildpackage
[08:03] <seraphim_> Zambezi: you can do it easyly with checkinstall. but that won't take care about dependecies
[08:03] <fredl> jackyyll, I just scrolled up to see if I could find your question but I couldn't. Can you ask again?
[08:03] <LjL> aktiwers, you must not use the "<" ">", those were only there as quotes. /msg nickserv identify your-password
[08:03] <jackyyll> Is there a file somewhere where all of the "Applications" Menus app launchers are stored?
[08:03] <LjL> jackyyll, i think it might be the /usr/share/applications directory, i'm not sure
[08:03] <kmaynard> or /usr/bin
[08:03] <Zambezi> seraphim_, I know the dependecies.
[08:03] <aktiwers> ahh ok..  I figured out :) THanks!
[08:03] <GazzaK> hello, can anyone tell me the terminal command to renew my dhcp settings - mostly the dns settings, as they do not seem to want to work correctly
[08:04] <fredl> jackyyll, yes there is.
[08:04] <Trixsey> trixsey@trixsey:~/Desktop$ sudo chmod -c 7777 projects
[08:04] <Trixsey> mode of `projects' changed to 7777 (rwsrwsrwt)
[08:04] <Zambezi> LjL, I'll try. Are you here awhile more?
[08:04] <jackyyll> fredl, and which file would that be? :p
[08:04] <lullabud> GazzaK:  dhclient
[08:04] <Trixsey> Still can't do anything in projects.. why :(
[08:04] <kmaynard> jackyyll, what's your goal?
[08:04] <LjL> Zambezi: not for long, almost dinner time
[08:04] <lullabud> GazzaK:  i prefer `pump` though, but it's not there by default.
[08:04] <fredl> jackyyll, like LjL says, /usr/share/applications
[08:04] <seraphim_> Zambezi: with checkinstall you have to have all dependencies, ./configure and make and then use checkinstall instead of make install
[08:04] <UmbraAdmin> hiho ppl
[08:04] <jackyyll> kmaynard, i'm trying to get all the launchers so i can edit them manually
[08:04] <kmaynard> LjL, dinner? where are you? :)
[08:04] <LjL> kmaynard: italy
[08:05] <kmaynard> italia!
[08:05] <kmaynard> sweet
[08:05] <Trixsey> mi bella
[08:05] <fredl> hello UmbraAdmin
[08:05] <UmbraAdmin> If i have a hd with Ubuntu on it how do i move that hd to a new comp without Linux going into panic ?
[08:05] <jackyyll> ah, thank you
[08:05] <GazzaK> lullabud~ what does that command do? (it seemed to run though okay)
[08:05] <kmaynard> jackyyll, edit them how? ubuntu has a menu editor
[08:05] <fredl> UmbraAdmin, you open the case, you insert the disk.
[08:05] <UmbraAdmin> lol
[08:06] <UmbraAdmin> did that and linux panic
[08:06] <jackyyll> kmaynard, i know, but i wanted to edit them in gedit or soemthing
[08:06] <fredl> UmbraAdmin, is this a second drive?
[08:06] <lullabud> GazzaK:  dhclient is just the standard dhcp client.  `pump` is more of a dhcp lease manager.
[08:06] <UmbraAdmin> is the kernel specifik to the old comp
[08:06] <rexykiko> what is the best way to do LTSP with ubuntu?
[08:06] <UmbraAdmin> like cpu and such ?
[08:06] <GazzaK> it worked lullabud thank you very much
[08:06] <lullabud> GazzaK:  all i know is that pump has never done me wrong
[08:06] <lullabud> GazzaK:  de nada
[08:06] <fredl> UmbraAdmin, in some cases yes. If you try to run an AMD kernel on an Intel one this *could* cause problems.
[08:06] <fredl> UmbraAdmin, is this a second drive?
[08:07] <UmbraAdmin> the old comp was P3 the now one P4
[08:07] <UmbraAdmin> its the main drive
[08:07] <fredl> UmbraAdmin, that shouldn't really cause a problem then. What does the kernel say before it bombs out?
[08:07] <GazzaK> hehe, lullabud I just had to google that saying :-) de nada to you too.
[08:07] <UmbraAdmin> i dont have the exact mess but it say PANIC
[08:08] <Discerer> Hmm I have a problem: the wireless networking card I have doesn't even show up in network-admin. on lspci it's "Marvell technology 88w8335", but that is not mentioned on the wiki. ideas?
[08:08] <UmbraAdmin> i can try again and make a note
[08:08] <fredl> UmbraAdmin, most likely because it can't find the root filesystem. Do you get GRUB to start up and does it let you select a kernel?
[08:08] <Shinta> how do i compile java with terminal?
[08:08] <ProN00b> how can i disable bug buddy ?
[08:08] <rexykiko> what is the best way to do LTSP with ubuntu?
[08:08] <UmbraAdmin> Grub starts
[08:08] <fredl> Shinta, with javac ofcourse.
[08:09] <Shinta> thad dous not work
[08:09] <fredl> UmbraAdmin, well then you should be able to edit the kernel parameters for your kernel.
[08:09] <UmbraAdmin> it goes through decrompressing kernal
[08:09] <LjL> !doesn't work
[08:09] <ubotu> Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.
[08:09] <UmbraAdmin> hmm
[08:09] <Shinta> :)
[08:09] <fredl> UmbraAdmin, so you can tell the kernel to use another root filesystem although if this was a first drive on your old system and is still the first drive on your new system nothing should have changed.
[08:09] <Rob125> lmao
[08:10] <fredl> Shinta - can it not find javac ?
[08:10] <UmbraAdmin> Sorry to ask but how do i edit the kernal settings ?
[08:10] <fredl> Shinta, or does it not work?

[08:14] <Discerer> I have a problem with my wireless ethernet card: it shows up in lspci but not lshw and it's not on the wiki. The network-admin doesn't list it.
[08:15] <LjL> l337: try in #ubuntu-xgl
[08:15] <Shinta> how do i know witch file to select from a source of a gameserver ?
[08:15] <minimec> l337: What card do you have?

[08:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ltsp - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:15] <fulldisclosure> How can I change administrator name?
[08:15] <martyyyr> can I install the grub bootloader from the live cd?
[08:15] <LjL> !lts | rexykiko, is this that you mean?
[08:15] <ubotu> rexykiko, is this that you mean?: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.
[08:15] <nuts7> how do I give all possible flags to a directory? chmod -R .. ?!
[08:15] <mseney> Discerer, i just got my wifi card working after i edited the /etc/network/interfaces file
[08:15] <fredl> fulldisclosure, edit /etc/passwd
[08:15] <rexykiko> Ljl, no; I mean Linux Terminal Server Project
[08:15] <Flannel> nuts7: why do you want to do that?
[08:15] <fredl> fulldisclosure, I would not recommend it though.
[08:16] <mseney> Discerer, do you see the interface when you $iwconfig
[08:16] <LjL> nuts7: "all possible flags" meaning what, everybody can do everything on all files and subdirectories recursively?
[08:16] <easytiger> chmod -R 777 nuts7
[08:16] <nuts7> Flannel: I moved a directory from my NTFS partition to my EXT3 home directory.. but now I can edit the files
[08:16] <Discerer> no mseney
[08:16] <fulldisclosure> ok
[08:16] <fredl> chmod -R 7777 actually
[08:16] <mseney> Discerer, sorry then..my first day back to linux :)
[08:17] <Discerer> :p
[08:17] <fredl> nuts7, -R will do it recursively to all files in the directory as well
[08:18] <martyyyr> can I install the grub bootloader from the live cd?
[08:18] <fredl> martyyyr, yes.
[08:18] <fredl> martyyyr, I'm not sure how but it can be done. Google for GRUB and you'll find it.
[08:19] <Shinta> witch file do i shoose ? javac ????? of the source dir ?
[08:19] <lullabud> martyyyr:  grub-install /dev/hda
[08:19] <thechitowncubs> sorry to repeat, but...
[08:19] <thechitowncubs> whats the best source to read to learn how to set up a 10 user samba fileserver with each user having his or her own directory and also a public directory accessible by all users
[08:19] <lullabud> martyyyr:  you may need to replace hda with sda, or whatever your hdd is.
[08:19] <martyyyr> lullabud: will that work if there is a wdinows partition too?
[08:19] <lullabud> martyyyr:  yeah, it installs to the MBR, which is outside of the partitions.

[08:21] <fredl> Shinta - #java
[08:21] <stivb> I just upgraded to edgy and afterwards I ran deborphan and found a lot of ophaned items. Can they be removed? I assumed the upgrade would remove anything it no longer needed?
[08:21] <maxb> The new edgy apt hits lots of Translation-en_GB URLs trying to download nonexistent stuff. Can I stop it doing that?
[08:21] <lullabud> martyyyr:  mount your hard disk
[08:21] <martyyyr> to where?
[08:21] <maxb> stivb: Not necessarily - if they don't conflict with new stuff, old packages stay.

[08:22] <martyyyr> (fredl, thanks for that link.. I'll check it out)
[08:22] <fredl> :)
[08:22] <lullabud> martyyyr:  anywhere.  `mkdir hda1 ; mount /dev/hda ./hdaa`
[08:22] <lullabud> martyyyr:  holy hell that was an awful typo...
[08:22] <lullabud> martyyyr:  `mount /dev/hda1 ./hda1`  the idea is to get your hard disk mounted somewhere that grub-install can read the boot files.
[08:22] <martyyyr> where hda1 is a partition..right?
[08:22] <lullabud> martyyyr:  then do `grub-install /dev/hda --root-directory="./hda1"`
[08:23] <lullabud> right.
[08:23] <fredl> lullabud, mount needs an absolute mount path does it not? :)
[08:23] <martyyyr> so I should mount the /boot partition?
[08:23] <Shinta> oke about thad compileing the nfo is included in a .xml file with the folowing line :  <property name="build.dist" location="${build}/dist"/>
[08:23] <lullabud> fredl:  nope
[08:23] <Shinta> how do i compile thad ?
[08:23] <fredl> hmm
[08:23] <fredl> Shinta: this is NOT #java ok?
[08:24] <martyyyr> do I mount the partition where I put my /boot  ?
[08:24] <lullabud> martyyyr:  can you rephrase that?
[08:24] <fredl> Shinta: just trying to help you as you won't get many answers to your questions about Java here most likely.
[08:24] <martyyyr> lullabud:  I have 4 partitions:  windows, /boot, /, and /home
[08:25] <martyyyr> which one should I mount?
[08:25] <lullabud> martyyyr:  oooh, well do it like this then... `mkdir boot ; mount /dev/hda# ./boot`
[08:25] <baastrup> my new logitech G5 usb laser mouse dossent work in ubuntu 6.10
[08:25] <lullabud> martyyyr:  then do `grub-install /dev/hda --root-directory="./"`
[08:25] <fredl> baastrup, does Linux see the USB device?
[08:25] <martyyyr> alright, I'll give it a go
[08:25] <baastrup> fredl: dmes sees it
[08:25] <baastrup> dmesg
[08:26] <fredl> baastrup, Hmm, you changed your xorg.conf ?
[08:26] <baastrup> fredl: yes and evdev is installed too
[08:26] <baastrup> when I do a cat /dev/input/mice i get data
[08:26] <ikus1> hello al im kinda a noob with linux, but im trying to change that. Can anyone tell me where I can find the basic command lines?
[08:26] <Shinta> fredl i am working in ubuntu ... ?
[08:27] <nekr0z> Hello guys, I seem to need a little help here.
[08:27] <fredl> baastrup, Hmm. sorry work calls.
[08:28] <baastrup> fredl: thx for trying
[08:28] <lullabud> martyyyr:  the idea is to mount your boot partition as boot, then give --root-directory to the place where that boot partition is mounted.
[08:28] <lullabud> martyyyr:  that way grub-install finds the right files and doesn't complain.
[08:29] <nekr0z> After I've gone Edgy, I cannot use cyrillic keyboard layout in some programs, incl. Gedit. Though it works for firefox or terminal, for example. Does anyone have a clue?
[08:29] <ikus1> no one has a link to the basic command lines for linux?
[08:30] <lullabud> ikus1:  http://www.pixelbeat.org/cmdline.html
[08:30] <martyyyr> so if the boot partition is mounted in /mnt/boot  then I do    sudo grub-install /dev/sda --root-directory="/mnt/boot"  ?
[08:31] <lullabud> martyyyr:  no, --root-directory="/mnt"
[08:31] <neighborlee> I have mplayerplugin installed  and 32bit swiftfox, but swift isn't seeing it and wondering is anyone else having this problem ? ( or do I need to install plugger alongside theese)
[08:31] <martyyyr> ok..
[08:31] <martyyyr> and it will find the windows partition too?
[08:31] <nekr0z> ikus1, I do, but it's in Russian
[08:31] <lullabud> martyyyr:  what this is going to do is install grub.  you'll have to edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst to boot up windows.
[08:31] <lullabud> martyyyr:  ubuntu comes with some example configs for windows.
[08:32] <lullabud> martyyyr:  the main thing is that "hd(0,0)" needs to be changed to hd(harddisk#,partition#)
[08:32] <lullabud> martyyyr:  so hd(0,0) is first hard disk, first partition.
[08:32] <martyyyr> I see
[08:32] <martyyyr> and you mean the menu.list  in  /mnt/boot/grub , right?
[08:32] <aktiwers> neighborlee If you use Automatix, you can get it to install all the plugins for Swiftfox.. as long as you install it in /opt/swiftfox
[08:33] <lullabud> martyyyr:  that's right
[08:33] <l337> Does anyone have Beryl working on ubuntu 6.10 Edgy with an ati video card?
[08:33] <neighborlee> aktiwers, actually I used automatix2 to install what I have yup
[08:33] <martyyyr> after editing that list, do I have to let grub know that I edited it?
[08:33] <bluefox83> whats beryl/?
[08:33] <bluefox83> !beryl
[08:33] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-xgl
[08:33] <bluefox83> ooooh..nifty
[08:33] <aktiwers> then it is already in that folder neighborlee..  did you also install the Swiftfox plugins from Automatix?
[08:34] <subiet> i have atix200 graphics card, and i use the fglrx driver
[08:34] <neighborlee> aktiwers, yes I did.
[08:34] <subiet> i get accelartion too
[08:34] <subiet> but when i shutdown or logout the system hangs
[08:34] <neighborlee> aktiwers, I have 'some' plugins,but mplayer is missing entirely in about:plugins
[08:34] <Juhaz> martyyyr, no
[08:34] <subiet> please help, i have tried, but failed
[08:34] <lullabud> martyyyr:  could you type to me?  i'm trying to follow this convo from across the room and it helps when messages to me are highlighted
[08:34] <lullabud> martyyyr:  just put my name somewhere in the line...
[08:35] <aktiwers> neighborlee hmm.. thats odd.. it works fine here. Sorry, this is the way I did it and it works. I have no idea then.. maybe you will have to install them manually then :/
[08:35] <martyyyr> lullabad, yeah, sorry about that.. I keep forgetting
[08:35] <neighborlee> aktiwers, well mplayerplugin had to be intsalled via  synaptic as it doesn't come with automatix
[08:35] <lullabud> martyyyr:  lullabUd :P
[08:35] <martyyyr> lullabud.. lol, sorry!
[08:35] <lullabud> martyyyr:  no, you don't have to let it know you updated the file.  once you install it pointing to that location you can change the file
[08:35] <aktiwers> neighborlee: oh.. I didnt know.. its been long since I did this
[08:35] <martyyyr> lullabud, ok, thanks.. I'm gonna give this a go
[08:36] <neighborlee> aktiwers, ah ok np
[08:36] <subiet> help for ati video card, anyone???
[08:37] <martyyyr> lullabud: the installer seemed to have automatically detected my windows installation

[08:40] <Archngel> can someone direct me for detail information on edgy server or can someone help me in here
[08:40] <martyyyr> lullabud: nope, just 1
[08:40] <lullabud> martyyyr:  or do you have any other disks in the system, like a floppy?
[08:41] <martyyyr> lullabud: a cdrom and a floppy, but my BIOS is set to boot from the hd.. as it always has
[08:41] <bluefox83> i've never heard of beryl before..is it any good?
[08:41] <Pelo> Archngel, try the forum if no one else answers you
[08:41] <Rob125> bluefox83: it's got its perks
[08:41] <martyyyr> lullabud, the problem started after I installed ubuntu
[08:41] <nekr0z> Rob125: I can use my russian layout in Firefox or OpenOffice.org, but I cannot in Gedit or Evolution.
[08:41] <lullabud> martyyyr:  huh... windows xp?
[08:42] <bluefox83> Rob125, what kind of perks? will amarok work on it/
[08:42] <Rob125> nekroz: i'd be willing to bet the problem is that you're using an incompatible font
[08:42] <Rob125> what's amarok again? i forget.
[08:42] <martyyyr> lullabud, what do you mean?
[08:42] <bluefox83> media player
[08:42] <elknof1_> aloha everybody
[08:42] <Rob125> dunno
[08:42] <Rob125> i've not had any problems with programs
[08:42] <lullabud> martyyyr:  what windows OS are you running?
[08:42] <bluefox83> it wont work with compiz, that much i know for a fact
[08:42] <elknof1_> hey does anyone knows how to upgrade amarok to 1.4.4??
[08:42] <nekr0z> Rob125: amarok is the world's best music player
[08:42] <martyyyr> lullabud: XP
[08:42] <bluefox83> nekr0z, i agree :D
[08:42] <lullabud> martyyyr:  also, what's the layout of your partition table?  can you print it out and put it in a pastebin?
[08:42] <Rob125> the perks are that it's pretty and akamaru works great with it
[08:42] <variant> bluefox83: search you tube fo aiglx or beryl
[08:42] <Discerer> how do I go to a computer in my network in the file browser? in windows it would be for instance \\kekeklol but how about linux?
[08:43] <nekr0z> Rob125: Need to check that out, never had an idea.
[08:43] <bluefox83> whats aiglx anyways?
[08:43] <quiet> Discerer, //kekeklol
[08:43] <lullabud> Discerer:  smb://computername/sharename
[08:43] <variant> bluefox83: 3d accelerated xserver

[08:43] <Archngel> Pelo thx but Ive tried that already,, trying to solve the conenction with xp client to edgy PDC  ,, cant connect,, would need review of smn.conf from a knoledgeable person :)
[08:43] <bluefox83> variant, cool
[08:43] <elknof1_> amarok is an excelent audio player for kde
[08:43] <lullabud> martyyyr:  are you sure your partition table is valid?
[08:43] <quiet> Discerer, you should also be able to just go to network browser and find it.
[08:43] <martyyyr> lullabud, I installed ubuntu over the gentoo one, and now everything is messed up
[08:43] <Discerer> thanks
[08:43] <DrNick> I'd just like to say, massive thumbs up to ubuntu 6.10. its by far the best linux distro i've used - I run both the desktop and server versions. (on different machines)
[08:43] <Rob125> nekr0z: google video has some stuff of it, the dock itself is called 'kiba'
[08:43] <martyyyr> lullabud... how do I check that?
[08:44] <Discerer> not in the same workgroup, should it work anyway quiet?
[08:44] <Pelo> anyone know the hard way of playing around with file association ?
[08:44] <DrNick> its currently running very well on a 550Mhz laptop with only 196Mb of RAM. as well as on my main desktop system, and a server
[08:44] <bluefox83> variant, aiglx isn't in the repository either?
[08:44] <variant> !gvidcap
[08:44] <lullabud> martyyyr:  print it out and put it in a pastebin and i'll look at it.  or just verify that you don't have more than 3 primary partitions
[08:44] <quiet> Discerer, linux will display the workgroup name for you to click on and browse.
[08:44] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gvidcap - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[08:44] <martyyyr> lullabud, I have 3 primary partitions, and 1 extened to give me the 2 logical partitions
[08:44] <nekr0z> Rob125: That was definitely not a font problem: I can copy russian text from some other app and paste it with no problem.
[08:45] <lullabud> LjL would /kick you all for playing with the bot.

[08:45] <master0onxbox> somebody that can point me to the right channel for rtorrent support throw ubuntu server consol`?
[08:45] <lullabud> martyyyr:  i wonder if it's a corruption issue with the partition table...

[08:46] <Pelo> later folks
[08:46] <subiet> banshee help with lyrics plugin, anyone???????
[08:46] <Rob125> have you googled for possible solutions?
[08:46] <martyyyr> lullabud: do you think it would help if I'd format all the partitions except for the windows 1?
[08:46] <master0onxbox> somebody in here that can point me in the right direction for some channel for rtorrent support throw ubuntu server consol`?
[08:46] <master0onxbox> yepp
[08:47] <lullabud> martyyyr:  likely not.  if there's a problem it's probably with the partition table itself.
[08:47] <master0onxbox> and I found the user guide.. but not the solution to me problem
[08:47] <nekr0z> Rob125: At least I tried to google it up. Maybe I haven't given it enough try?
[08:47] <lullabud> martyyyr:  you might be able to fix it by imaging all of your partitions, repartitionining, then restoring.
[08:47] <martyyyr> lullabud: great....:/ :)
[08:47] <Recon69> hi, have a problem with my nvidia driver setup, opengl dev is not setup correctly , I can get apps to compile that use opengl by installing the synaptic nvidia - dev package , but they wont runn as the lib and the driver dont match, any suggestions on ho i should fix this?
[08:47] <Rob125> nekr0z: well, it wouldn't surprise me if there was nothing there. there's not a lot of good support in english for languages, AFAIK.
[08:48] <nekr0z> Rob125: I'm not even talking about compose key not working at all after my edgy upgrade.
[08:48] <Doow> pelo, does automatix produce any logs or such? couldn't help but noticing it's removing some packages... =)
[08:48] <martyyyr> lullabud, how do I print out my partition table?
[08:48] <nekr0z> Rob125: Hell right you are
[08:48] <lullabud> martyyyr:  yeah. =/  that's the worst kind of problem, partition problems.  but it may be something else.
[08:48] <lullabud> martyyyr:  cfdisk -P s /dev/hda
[08:48] <Rob125> doow: automatix logs in ~/automatix.log
[08:48] <Doow> Rob125, ok, ty
[08:49] <martyyyr> lullabud, k, I'm gonna throw it on a pastebin
