[09:39] <joemac1> Toshibi:  no, but google brings up a heap of 64 entries for me too
[09:39] <livingroom> any suggestions?
[09:39] <andjons> hej
[09:39] <tuntun> How do I set a static IP address so I can use VNC between two computers?
[09:39] <joemac1> Toshibi: this is the only entry I found similar http://aldeby.org/blog/index.php/system-config-printer-window-stuck-after-upgrade-to-ubuntu-904.html
[09:40] <Toshibi> Joemac1: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-get-a-canon-all-in-one-printer-working-with-ubuntu.html Like I said, like a boss
[09:40] <joemac1> Toshibi: but the solution doesn't work
[09:40] <UbbyCD> hey its like amarok isnt properly recognising mp3 files in jaunty
[09:40] <UbbyCD> i just installed restricted extras no go
[09:40] <corigo1> Is there a way to find out which application is running a MySQL daemon, before I go and kill it?
[09:40] <mangel> hey
[09:40] <Toshibi> UbbyCD: Are all mp3's not working?
[09:40] <joemac1> Toshibi: it is freezing up with out a printer conected
[09:40] <UbbyCD> it says its playing the mp3s
[09:40] <UbbyCD> but it does nothing
[09:40] <Sunny> I cann't follow you ,so I think personal speak will be better.
[09:41] <UbbyCD> it does not show progress and has no sound
[09:41] <UbbyCD> uhh i think a couple did play
[09:41] <UbbyCD> but they were all acapella files
[09:41] <redpearl> where is the default location of my bookmark?
[09:41] <UbbyCD> they may have not even been mp3s
[09:41] <redpearl>  my os crashed, and i can't start firefox
[09:41] <redpearl> this is firefox 3.0.9
[09:41] <Lucas156> what does this mean You have 1 broken package on your system!
[09:41] <Lucas156> Use the "Broken" filter to locate it.
[09:41] <joemac1> Toshibi: and I had it working fine in intrepid
[09:42] <Toshibi> joemac1: did you check my link?
[09:42] <Lucas156> thats what opened when I pulled up synaptics package manager
[09:42] <grawity> redpearl: look for places.sqlite somewhere in ~/.mozilla
[09:42] <joemac1> Toshibi:  I am there now
[09:42] <Toshibi> joemac1: Okay, give that a shot.
[09:42] <Toshibi> joemac1: I'll be here for a while. Lots of hungry questions.
[09:42] <UbbyCD> yeh it was only a few mp3s that it would play
[09:43] <livingroom> THIS is why i dont f*cking use linux, it's such bollocks that i cant dual boot with a simple setup!
[09:43] <Toshibi> UbbyCD: Were they MP3's or other files?
[09:43] <UbbyCD> they were mp3s
[09:43] <Lucas156> its not linux its the operator
[09:43] <livingroom> ubuntu is supposed to figure this @#$& out for me, why didnt it autodetect? now i get to repartition everything! THANKS UBUNTU
[09:43] <Toshibi> livingroom: Put your windows CD in and do a fixmbr
[09:43] <UbbyCD> but 95 percent of my mp3s wont play
[09:43] <Toshibi> livingroom: You will then be able to boot into Windows.
[09:43] <redpearl> grawity, oh my god, it's in some weird format
[09:44] <livingroom> i dont want to boot primarily into windows, or i'dve done that 5 hours ago. i want dual booting
[09:44] <grawity> redpearl: It's SQLite, not that weird
[09:44] <redpearl> grawity, how can import it in a new firefox, with total different user name and profile
[09:44] <nztal> livingroom, this was not ubuntu's doing
[09:44] <UbbyCD> ubuntu does no wrong
[09:44] <livingroom> indeed, nztal. it was supposed to detect my windows partition and add it to grub, but it did not
[09:44] <tuntun> how do I find the default IP address of a computer (before it has received DHCP)?
[09:44] <Lucas156> exactly
[09:45] <redpearl> grawity, yes. not readable as text
[09:45] <Toshibi> livingroom: I understand that. Once you have fixed your MBR though, you at least have a jumping off point. First, go into msconfig in Windows and see how many boot entries you have. If more than one, remove one. Then, let Ubuntu try it's thing.
[09:45] <grawity> redpearl: To browse, sqlite3 places.sqlite
[09:45] <grawity> redpearl: And to copy to the new profile ... simply copy the file.
[09:46] <livingroom> this is maddening.
[09:46] <redpearl> grawity, ok, installing sqlite3 now.
[09:46] <Toshibi> tuntun: before it has an IP address it's the loopback which is <IP_ADDRESS> or it's a non-routing IP....
[09:46] <livingroom> in 1998 i first installed linux: redhat 5.2. AND THIS SAME SHIT was going on. it's impossible to use linux coming from a windows world. why hasnt anyone addressed this?
[09:46] <redpearl> grawity, just copy and dump into new ~/.mozilla directory?
[09:47] <Toshibi> livingroom: Just because you've had a bad experience doesn't mean everyone does. I came from Windows with 0 problems 4 years ago.
[09:47] <grawity> redpearl: You could just copy the entire ~/.mozilla actually ...
[09:47] <livingroom> i could reply that just because you had a good experience, doesnt mean the majority of switchers do.
[09:47] <redpearl> grawity, ok. but my profile name is different....
 how do I use VNC between two ubuntu computers without a dhcp server?
[09:47] <grawity> redpearl: Shouldn't matter
 You have to know the static IP addresses of both computers. You would have both of those set up and the router/switch before hand.
[09:48] <Lucas156> troll
[09:48] <redpearl> grawity, ok. thx.
[09:49] <kutchbhi4e56> Is  "quiet splash persistent -- " , same as "quiet splash -- persistent" ?
[09:49] <kutchbhi4e56> ?
[09:49] <livingroom> going to try some things bbl
[09:49] <kutchbhi4e56> while booting press F6
[09:49] <redpearl> grawity, i just ran "sqlite3 places.sqlite" now it gives me a prompt
[09:49] <UbbyCD> uhh was there an answer to why my mp3s arent playing in amarok?
[09:49] <redpearl> grawity, how to view the file?
[09:49] <grawity> redpearl: Do you know about SQL?
[09:49] <kutchbhi4e56> then I typed 'persisitent' , at the end
[09:49] <UbbyCD> i cant even get to the amarok settings to configure the sound
[09:49] <redpearl> grawity, no, i don't
[09:50] <Gabbsmo> How do I get a "start-menu" in gnomepanel from a minimal install?
[09:50] <gahg> has anyone been able to connect to irc.webchat.org?
[09:50] <kutchbhi4e56> the question is .. is the persistent supposed to be typed before the '-- like this -' quiet splash -- persistent , or after ??
 ok.
[09:50] <Toshibi> UbbyCD: Yes, I gave you a bunch of answers. have you tried a player besides Amarok. Songbird is my favorite. Or Exaile.
[09:50] <grawity> kutchbhi4e56: I think you need to type the parameters before the double dashes.
[09:51] <kutchbhi4e56> grawity: thanks, anybody else?
[09:51] <kutchbhi4e56> who is a bit more sure??
[09:51] <mrglinux1> anybody knows  how can i  use lyricue ?
[09:52] <mrglinux1> I can't find any thing on net
[09:52] <Toshibi> kutchbhi4e56: --persistant No space, double --

[09:53] <grawity> gahg: From what program are you trying to connect?
[09:53] <gahg> im trying to connect through xchat
[09:54] <kutchbhi4e56> Toshibi: so it should be quiet splash --persistent ??
[09:54] <Toshibi> Stepping into this room is like stepping into work..
[09:54] <Toshibi> kutch*: Yes
[09:54] <ModusTalons> any]
[09:54] <mrglinux> ripps  : ^^ anybody knows  how can i  use lyricue ?
[09:54] <lastman> Is it possible to watch and record dvb-t channels at the same time?
[09:55] <kutchbhi4e56> Toshibi: you sure, the instructions state : ""At the end of this argument list just add a space and add the word ?persistent?. ""
[09:55] <ripps> mrglinux: never used it, just spotted it in an apt-cache search
[09:55] <ModusTalons> gahg idk how you made it this far if you are doing things wrong
[09:55] <Toshibi> kutch*: Give me the site you're getting thestuff from
[09:55] <ModusTalons> i WANT TO KN0W WHAT YOU ALL THINK OF ME FOR MY NOTES
[09:55] <ModusTalons> tell me?
[09:56] <kutchbhi4e56> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD/Persistence
[09:56] <gahg> well this was auto connect so it wasnt that hard -_- xD
[09:56] <grawity> gahg: First, learn how to use /ignore :)
[09:56] <Toshibi> Oh, sorry
[09:57] <gahg> lol im really a big noob at irc xD
[09:57] <ModusTalons> aww giving up on a perosn? lol I guess it happens grawity :)
[09:57] <gahg> only started using irc like...2 days ago
[09:57] <ModusTalons> people are crazt
[09:57] <Toshibi> kutch*: When you boot, your boot options for booting the booted cd.... you just put the word in. Like boot: ubuntu blah blah blah peristent
[09:58] <BizzaroH8red> irc is cool but not as useful since the rise of www messageboards
[09:58] <Toshibi> no - or anything
[09:58] <Rovanion> Is there anyone here who knows how to get some more cream out of my ATi 4850 here using Wine to run WoW? I suspect the ATi drivers for the loss of performance
[09:58] <ModusTalons> no opinions about me obamadeception yet> interesting
[09:58] <grawity> BizzaroH8red: "www messageboards"?
[09:58] <BizzaroH8red> when web forums and such got really popular
[09:58] <ModusTalons> n ot that drunking inquiry is particulary scientific
[09:58] <gahg> yeah but im actually a dj and i dj for an internet radio who does most of their talk and news on irc their channel is irc.webchat.org/radiogrounds but i cant connect to it
[09:58] <Toshibi> kutch*: I was thinking about something else....
[09:58] <marco76> hi. where can i get skype?
[09:58] <BizzaroH8red> it seems people emptied out of irc servers
[09:59] <ModusTalons> which I AM ps i'm a female if guys care
[09:59] <grawity> gahg: Try: /server irc.webchat.org --- and then /join radiogrounds
[09:59] <BizzaroH8red> which makes sense, forums are much better ways to organize online communities
[09:59] <ModusTalons> OR if gurs care :)
[09:59] <BizzaroH8red> as opposed to chat
[09:59] <linux_viewer> now i'm really need a help. i can't enable desktop effect.
[09:59] <gahg> yeah i already tried that but when i did as soon as i put .sever irc.webchat.org it said i mispelt it -_- xD
[09:59] <homeskill> ubuntu, by default, sets up samba? i noticed that i have smb:// access to my windows machine on my local network and i never set up samba
[09:59] <BizzaroH8red> linux_viewer:  whate effect
[10:00] <Toshibi> linux_viewer: I stopped using them. But, the basics; do you have your graphics card enabled?
[10:00] <zeeble> Hi. is automatix still available, or has it been depreciated?
[10:00] <cristi> hy, i have a problem with the headphones. When i connect them to my laptop the sound will come through the laptop, but also through the speakers
[10:00] <rachin> hi
[10:00] <gahg> * Unknown host. Maybe you misspelled it? <<<that what it sais lol
[10:00] <Slart> homeskill: the samba client is configured automatically on install
[10:00] <rachin> can anyone help me with one of my problem
[10:00] <Slart> homeskill: the samba server part isn't even installed iirc
[10:00] <homeskill> slart is that a security risk?
[10:00] <atlef> !automatix | zeeble
cube desktop
[10:01] <Slart> homeskill: the samba client? not more than a web browser or ftp client is
[10:01] <zeeble> ty, atlef
i'm using compiz
[10:01] <Toshibi> cristi: You probably need to open up Sound Manager. It's the icon that looks like a speaker on your panel. In there you should find a box to check for Headphones.
[10:01] <homeskill> slart what i dont get is how vista is allowing samba client access by default
[10:01] <homeskill> is that supposed to happen?
[10:01] <ModusTalons> awesome no judgement
[10:01] <Slart> homeskill: it's just the client part.. ie you can connect to other computers.. it doesn't mean other people can get to your files
[10:01] <Toshibi> cristi: It's a little different for every sound card/audio device
[10:01] <cristi> Toshibi: uhm yes, i tried muting everything one at a time but it either mutes all the audio outputs or nothing changes
[10:02] <gahg> maby i just fail at irc xD
[10:02] <Slart> homeskill: that's something you need to talk to the windows people about
[10:02] <cristi> Toshibi: note that it's a laptop
[10:02] <Toshibi> cristi: Go over to the switches Tab in Volume Control
[10:02] <cristi> k
[10:02] <cristi> done
[10:02] <cristi> Toshibi: done
[10:02] <BizzaroH8red> linux_viewer:  drivers installed ?
[10:03] <Toshibi> cristi: What switches do you have?
[10:03] <Slart> homeskill: it could be that you use the same username/password on both computers.. or it might be something else
[10:03] <ModusTalons> wow obama seems to have shut up
[10:03] <zeeble> Slart: you from slartibartfast?
i don't know
[10:03] <cristi> Toshibi: headphones, iec958, caller id, off-hook
[10:03] <homeskill> slart i use the same username, but different passswords
i think sis one
[10:03] <Slart> zeeble: yes
[10:03] <zeeble> Slart: okay.
[10:03] <ModusTalons> a/s/l everyone if anyone cares to shre
[10:03] <Toshibi> cristi: Is the headphone switch engaged?
[10:03] <ModusTalons> share*
[10:03] <gahg> 16 m canada xD
[10:03] <cristi> Toshibi: yes
[10:03] <Slart> ModusTalons: this is a support channel.. for general chat go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:04] <ModusTalons> oh sorry thought I was somewhere else
[10:04] <Toshibi> cristi: Hmmmm like I said, it's different for every device.
[10:04] <Slart> homeskill: then I don't know how why it does that
[10:04] <cristi> Toshibi: however, what should i do
[10:04] <Toshibi> cristi: Probably based on AC97?
[10:04] <cristi> Toshibi: i don't know what that is
[10:06] <Toshibi> cristi: Go into Preferences at the bottom of the Volume Manager and look for Independant HP switch
[10:06] <gahg> is there any dj mix software for abuntu (such as virtual dj but thats only for windows and works horrible with wine)
[10:06] <gahg> ubuntu*
[10:06] <t3ch> gahg: try wine and traktor
[10:06] <t3ch> :]
[10:06] <gahg> ahh that might be good
[10:07] <cristi> Toshibi: i don't have that
[10:07] <gahg> but i herd most real time apps when you use wine it really sucks
[10:07] <gahg> xD
[10:07] <F15h3r> Hey folx, i crashed my Ubuntu 9.10 system by instaling the latest Ati Radeon driver. Now i cant log in any more, so im using live distro. Is any there chance to fix this mess? plz?
[10:07] <Toshibi> cristi: Argh! Hmmmm.....
[10:07] <zeeble> 9.10?

[10:08] <F15h3r> 8.10 :>
[10:08] <Toshibi> cristi: All I can suggest is the old bang your head against it trick. Look through those preferences for anything that looks remotely like what I'm talking about.
[10:08] <zeeble> Slart: ah.
[10:08] <F15h3r> now im using live 8.04
[10:09] <zeeble> Slart: That will be a LTS release?
[10:09] <Slart> !lts
[10:09] <cristi> Toshibi: i see, ok i'll do that, however it's not the first time i'm trying to fix it
[10:09] <Slart> zeeble: I have no idea.. it seems it would be time for another one of those soon
[10:09] <zeeble> yep.
[10:10] <zeeble> finalyl downloaded and installed 9.04 today. fixing up all the stuff on it. thank god for weekends
[10:10] <Toshibi> cristi: I've been trying to fix some things for a long while. Sound, fortunately hasn't been one of them...because Linux sound is a bit like getting hit by a bus.
[10:10] <gahg> does ubuntu have flash 10 and java?
[10:10] <cristi> Toshibi:  :)))
[10:10] <zeeble> gahg: yes.
[10:10] <Toshibi> gahg: Yeah
[10:11] <ripps> gahg: yes, install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[10:11] <gahg> ahh finaly i can connect to irc.webchat.org xD
[10:11] <Toshibi> My kitten used Ubuntu today. I got home from work and she had made many screenshots of what she had done....mostly named things lllllllllllllll0000000 and so on
[10:11] <Toshibi> So, Linux is so easy a Kitten could use it.

[10:13] <huwenfeng> sorry, but i'd like to know , is there any tools to see the disk usage in Ubuntu ?
[10:13] <Toshibi> Mine is cyberpunk themed.....with required leather clad net chick jacked in
[10:14] <huwenfeng> i want to see which process or user is using the disk, and what the performance of my disk?
[10:14] <Toshibi> huwenfeng: Nautilus, the file manager, will tell you about disk usage. That's what i always use.
[10:14] <ripps> huwenfeng: xdiskusage
[10:14] <Billynkid1> accessories---->disk usage analyser
[10:14] <Toshibi> ripps: Good call. *adds to list of programs*
[10:14] <t3ch> huwenfeng: df -h
[10:15] <gahg> 9 out of 10 dentist pefer linux to whiten teeth
[10:15] <zeeble> ugh. i keep forgetting this is a 64bit ubuntu and keep downloading the wrong packages
[10:15] <ripps> never question my apt-foo
[10:15] <huwenfeng> no, no ,sorry , i mean, the disk i/o, not the disk space!
[10:15] <Toshibi> The apt is strong in this one
[10:15] <t3ch> :]
[10:15] <ripps> XD
[10:15] <zeeble> er, then lsof will show you
[10:15] <zeeble> huwenfeng: man lsof
[10:16] <huwenfeng> OK, thanks
[10:16] <zeeble> dont run lsof on its own. it will show you so much stuff, you'll go crazy.
[10:16] <Toshibi> We should ask Canonical to pay us for the tech support :D Just saying....I'll take like a penny a question.
[10:16] <t3ch> huwenfeng: cat /proc/diskstats
[10:16] <marcus_aurelius> does anyone have any experience getting itunes aac files to play under linux?  like importing libraries into songbird, or getting itunes to install under linux/wine?

[10:24] <ripps> actualmind: nobody should support reiserfs, since's it's creator was locked in jail for murder, nobody has bothered to pick it up and it's now full of regressions
[10:24] <actualmind> Netbird, don't need that
[10:25] <sriramoman> ripps: the following error appears:
[10:25] <sriramoman> [mp4 @ 0x10d27d0]track 0: could not find tag, codec not currently supported in container
[10:25] <sriramoman> Could not write header for output file #0 (incorrect codec parameters ?)
[10:26] <Netbird> actualmind: it have some other extra options, it's similar to debians text installer... if you're not looking anything in particular the LiveCD will be enough
[10:27] <Billynkid1> thrillERboy:http://releases.ubuntu.com/jaunty/ubuntu-9.04-alternate-i386.iso
[10:27] <newUser> how can I see all my opened windows like on mac F10? (without compiz)
[10:27] <actualmind> Slart, btw can I install using reiserfs using the default cd?
[10:27] <thrillERboy> eeww!! I got t standard iso i guess :/
[10:28] <Slart> actualmind: I'm not sure any more.. you used to be able to do that.. but that was a couple of releases ago
[10:28] <ripps> sriramoman: you might need to instal ubuntu-restricted-extras, another page to read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MEncoder
[10:28] <Guest14926> !help
[10:28] <thrillERboy> I got this ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso :(
[10:28] <azlon> Slart: so if i read that page correctly, using Portable Linux or Live USB Creater will use tmpfs to store my /tmp in ram, which increases the lifespan of the drive... right?
[10:28] <ripps> sireromano: You may also need to install the w32codecs in medibuntu
[10:29] <Slart> azlon: I have no idea, but it sounds good =)
[10:29] <azlon> lol
[10:29] <sireromano> ripps what?
[10:29] <Desen> So i have something like this: PC X, connected with the internet trough PPPOE, runs Linux Ubuntu 9.04. PC Y which runs Windows 2000. X and Y are connected directly trough cable (LAN) with no routers or switches. What i want to do is to share my internet connection from my computer (X) with the second computer (Y). I`m not using any of them as server and such, just want to share my connection as long as i keep my PC open with somebody else. What do i do ? Link
[10:29] <Desen> or file, anything is welcomed.
[10:29] <azlon> well if it doesnt, is it easy to make tmpfs stor my /tmp in ram?
[10:30] <lentex> elo
[10:30] <sriramoman> ripps: all restricted-extras are installed in my system.
[10:31] <ripps> sriramoman: you might need to install w32codecs in medibuntu repo
[10:31] <ripps> !medibuntu | sriramoman
[10:31] <sriramoman> it is installed, ripps
[10:31] <ripps> sriramoman: that's all I know, sorry
[10:32] <Wortman> am I able to use Ubuntu Netbook Remix on any PC?
[10:32] <Makuseru> Hi, I seem to be having a bit of trouble with installing a program with wine. When i start to install it, it says "Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher is required" and then closes, even though I have IE5.5 installed it still does this. Does anyone know why this would happen?
[10:33] <Wortman> you need to install some plugins, for wine I suggest getting an addon app called winedoors
[10:33] <ripps> Makuseru: try installing wine-gecko
[10:33] <Wortman> winedoors will have gecko engine
[10:34] <Wortman> so will UNR work on any PC?
[10:34] <ripps> Wortman: winedoors isn't in the ubuntu repos
[10:35] <Wortman> of course not it is maintained by themselves
[10:35] <DivxcluB> Does anyone got ATI R700 card fully accelerated in 9.04 ?
[10:35] <Wortman> http://wddb.wine-doors.org/
[10:35] <Wortman> wine isnt even in the repos
[10:35] <Wortman> afaik
[10:35] <newUser> how can I see all my opened windows like on mac F10? (without compiz)
[10:35] <ripps> DivxcluB: The best driver for the r700 cards is either fglrx or radeonhd
[10:35] <Wortman> google is an amazing tool
[10:36] <Wortman> newUser compiz
[10:36] <Wortman> you cant without compiz
[10:36] <ripps> newUser: the method I know is throught the compiz plugin expo...
[10:36] <newUser> Wortman: my video card doesn't support 3D aceleration
[10:36] <ripps> newUser: what's your card?
[10:37] <Wortman> newUser I suggest also getting gnome global menu (another non ubuntu repo thingy) google it its awesome
[10:37] <cllaudyu> hello... my restrited drivers list is empty... how can i install nvidia?
[10:37] <Wortman> install the drivers -_-
[10:37] <newUser> ripps: ProSavage8
[10:37] <newUser> Wortman: I'll do search it, thanks
[10:38] <Wortman> I too own macs and gnome confuses me
[10:38] <Wortman> gnome global menu is sick
[10:38] <Wortman> but it only works with GTK apps
[10:38] <Wortman> but apple's global menu only works with aqua apps too so yeah
[10:38] <Wortman> some X11 apps have menu in their app
[10:38] <Makuseru> ripps: Just installed it, and its saying the same thing.
[10:38] <ripps> newUser: ah, I believe that uses the openchrome driver, yeah it won't see compositing or 3d until gallium
[10:40] <newUser> ripps: then compiz isn't my choice, hope there is another option only for that plugin
[10:40] <newUser> Wortman: global menu looks nice
[10:41] <Wortman> I swear Cannocial should get with the program and make sure their OS should work with the 3d drivers and include them
[10:41] <Wortman> it is nice
[10:41] <ripps> newUser: googling showed me program called skippy
[10:41] <Wortman> its a simple thing and all FLOSS BS aside they should do their best to be a user focused system
[10:41] <ripps> newUser: nevermind, it requires the Xcomposite extension
[10:42] <Wortman> these issues should not exist
[10:42] <newUser> ripps: =(
[10:42] <Billynkid1> i think that is the problem i am having with this illusion netbook hanging
[10:42] <Billynkid1> openchrome seems a little rough
[10:42] <alexander-michae> фат кетремде

[10:43] <alexander-michae> i'm joking
[10:43] <alexander-michae> sorry for that
[10:43] <ripps> openchrome recently recieved corporate backing, but it'll be a while before anything comes of it

[10:45] <thrillERboy> can i install ubuntu standalone with alternate iso?
[10:45] <Mood> if i do a "umount -f /dev/fd0", will it delete the /dev/fd0 object? or will it just unmount whatever data is there?
[10:45] <alexander-michae> моез
[10:45] <ripps> hhh: argh, java... try #java
[10:46] <alexander-michae> ама друг пт
[10:46] <Billynkid1> thrillERboy: Yes
[10:46] <hhh> ripps:ok thank u
[10:46] <Billynkid1> thrillERboy: basically has a text installer
[10:47] <marquesito> hello
[10:48] <mythman> installed mythbuntu and get the folliwing error wuen starting the backend No UPnP backends found
[10:48] <marquesito> anyone from spain or spanish speaker?
[10:48] <betita_elfica> yes onee
[10:48] <betita_elfica> spanish
[10:48] <Ademan> does anyone know what/where the project page is for the widget factory?
[10:48] <djiezes> !es > marquesito
[10:48] <ripps> !spanish
[10:49] <actualmind> !portuguese
[10:49] <ripps> mythman: try #mythbuntu
[10:49] <VladNistor> try #ubuntu-es for spanish
[10:49] <thrillERboy> if alternate iso can install both standalone ubuntu and can update the older ubuntu then why the desktop-9.04-i386.iso
[10:49] <vix> youtube hangs my browser
[10:49] <marquesito> ok
[10:50] <vix> im using Swfdec 0.8.2
[10:50] <marquesito> thanks
[10:50] <vix> is there a better alternative
[10:50] <ripps> thrillERboy: desktop cd is a livecd so people can test ubuntu without installing anything
[10:50] <mythman> ok
[10:50] <djiezes> thrillERboy: the desktop iso has a live cd & graphical installer
[10:50] <lastman> vix, use the adope player, deinsstall swfdec
[10:51] <betita_elfica> when i do the partiton for swap is logical or primary?
[10:51] <thrillERboy> so in alternate iso, I won't see the same installer, which I used to install in 8.10
[10:51] <djiezes> thrillERboy: alternate cd also has a wider hardware support
[10:51] <Billynkid1> thrillERboy: No
[10:51] <thrillERboy> :/ what if i get lost?
[10:52] <Billynkid1> thrillERboy: but it's as easy.
[10:52] <ripps> vix: adobe > gnash > swfdec
[10:52] <vix> i wanted to avoid adobe
[10:52] <vix> cuz its not truely open source
[10:52] <vix> :(
[10:52] <Billynkid1> thrillERboy: Ever installed Debian?
[10:52] <thrillERboy> okie.... downloading alternate cd now.... will check out later
[10:52] <thrillERboy> nope.... ubuntu is my first linux distro
[10:52] <vix> how do i remove swf
[10:53] <ripps> vix: gnash is better than swfdec, but there is no decent free flash
[10:53] <ruanl> halt：unable to iterate IDE devices: No such files or directory   why? how to work it out
[10:53] <djiezes> ripps: is gnash less cpu intensive?
[10:53] <ripps> djiezes: not sure
[10:53] <Billynkid1> thrillERboy: Well congrats for that ;-) But I think you'll be OK. What HW you installing on?
[10:54] <vatts[afk]> IF i try to remove EOG, why do i get shown ubuntu-desktop for removal, and if i go on, what will i do, broke my ubuntu?
[10:54] <hxl> why is my  xorg take so much cpu source? how can i find a right drive?
[10:55] <ripps> opensource ati users should enable 'option "AccelDFS" "True"' in their xorg.conf to speed up flash
[10:55] <VladNistor> hxl, you're in kde and using kwin for effects, right?
[10:56] <hxl> no ,i m useing gome
[10:56] <hxl> xwin
[10:56] <thrillERboy> amd processor, 1 gb ram, I don't know about the motherboard nvidia geforce 6100 graphics
[10:56] <VladNistor> @hxl, i'm unsure then, sorry
[10:56] <hxl> mine is ati rx550
[10:57] <armageddon> how can i make sure that ubuntu is fully up to date ? cause last time i updated before the format, it changed the looks of ubuntu jaunty, this time it didnt !
[10:57] <hxl> oh ,thank u all the same V
[10:58] <Billynkid1> armageddon: enable the updates respositories and then use sudo apt-get update.
[10:58] <VladNistor> @armageddon System-Administration-Update Manager
[10:58] <Hymnosis> is there a msn client that support voice conversation?
[10:58] <ripps> hxl: that's in the r700 series, i believe. try fglrx or radeonhd
[10:58] <thrillERboy> this pc is about 3 years old, I guess I won't have any probs with drivers
[10:59] <Billynkid1> You already running Ubuntu?
[10:59] <Billynkid1> thrillERboy:you already running Ubuntu?
[11:00] <thrillERboy> yes with wubi
[11:00] <Ribanbel> Hello
[11:00] <thrillERboy> I'm in ubuntu now
[11:00] <ThoreHH> hi
[11:01] <sidewalk> does anyone know how i sync my windows mobile calendar and addressbook with Ubuntu?
[11:01] <Billynkid1> thrillERboy: you want to remain in WUBI?
[11:02] <jade>  /server irc.freenode.net
[11:02] <ronnie> lol..
[11:02] <Guest96694> IS jockey-gtk internet dependant?
[11:02] <thrillERboy> Nope.... after back up all my 200 GB datas in xp to discs, I think I will use ubuntu and xp inside virtualbox
[11:02] <Guest96694> In jaunty
[11:02] <RodMcKay> hi all, is there a gui font manager?
[11:02] <thrillERboy> damn!! I still need xp for photoshop
[11:02] <marquesito> hi again!!!!
[11:02] <Billynkid1> thrillERboy: Just not sure about the upgrade path from WUBI say to a full install?
[11:03] <thrillERboy> Billynkid1, I can't get u :/
[11:03] <marquesito> someone know about changing language in step (kdedu)
[11:03] <Guest96694>  IS jockey-gtk internet dependant?
[11:03] <ronnie> Billynkid1: what do u mean
[11:03] <PolitikerALT> sidewalk: synce-trayicon and multisync i.e., see http://www.synce.org/moin/SynceWithUbuntu
[11:03] <marquesito> from edubuntu
[11:04] <azlon> !usb
[11:04] <Billynkid1> thrillERboy: you can upgrade inside WUBI but I think it will still be inside WUBI not a full install
[11:04] <Guest96694> !wireless
[11:05] <marquesito> i have download a .po archive from launchpad, but now i don't know what to do with it!!!
[11:05] <Billynkid1> thrillERboy: GIMP not an option? ;-)
[11:05] <Guest96694> IS jockey-gtk internet dependant?
[11:05] <thrillERboy> yes, I wan't to install inside wubi this time, but after I get everything inside xp, I will make ubuntu my main os
[11:05] <hxl> why is my xorg take so much source of  cpu, any help?
[11:05] <thrillERboy> I'm totally lost inside gimp
[11:06] <gordonjcp> thrillERboy: easy to use isn't the same as easy to learn ;-)
[11:06] <VladNistor> (10:58:29) ripps: hxl: that's in the r700 series, i believe. try fglrx or radeonhd
[11:06] <thrillERboy> I learned photoshop way too much, I think I will need almost same time to learn gimp.... Which I don't want now
[11:07] <thrillERboy> I just want to use photoshop productively
[11:07] <marquesito> what's .po archives for?
[11:08] <myself_> prova
[11:08] <myself_> c'è nessuno?
[11:08] <thrillERboy> and also, why can't I find installers for ubuntu, It seems like impossible to use ubuntu without internet
[11:08] <Guest96694> thrileboy: You could try WINE In APPS=>Add/remove programs
[11:08] <robin0800> thrillERboy: there is a program that makes kimp mpor like photoshop same menu's etc
[11:09] <robin0800> thrillERboy: Gimp more
[11:09] <Billynkid1> thrillERboy: ubuntu uses apt-get package management
[11:09] <daver89> Morning all.  I am creating a script to run but on line of code requires a password. is there a way i can auto enter this through the .sh file?
[11:09] <thrillERboy> robin0800, I've read the blog post, to make gimp like photoshop, but, I don't know... I can't get over photoshop
[11:09] <Billynkid1> thrillERboy: so .deb files
[11:10] <Guest96694> IS jockey-gtk internet dependant?
[11:10] <thrillERboy> .deb files are lot easier, but its not available for every needs
[11:10] <daver89> thrillERboy: nothing beats photoshop.  there's a reason it is the industry standard
[11:10] <Billynkid1> thrillERboy: plus do not automatically do dependency matching unless you use synatic or apt-get
[11:11] <robin0800> daver89: Not to mention the price
[11:11] <thrillERboy> what is dependency matching :D sorry for sounding like total n00b
[11:13] <daver89> robin0800: ye, it is pricey but lets face it, only businesses actually buy it.  everyone else has other means of getting it.
[11:13] <Billynkid1> thrillERboy: Say you want to install GIMP, you need a few other packages and libraries.
[11:13] <thrillERboy> I don't know if I'm right or not, but, I like reading internet and getting things done, through commands and regedit in windows, but even I hate to install programs by typing, IMAO opinion installation should be somewhat like next, next, next, finish.
[11:13] <back1step> How I can install ubuntu from the harddrive
[11:13] <homeskill> is there an advantage to using samba to serve up a network drive, rather than ssh/sftp?
[11:13] <daver89> can you run photoshop through wine?
[11:13] <thrillERboy> nope not CS3
[11:13] <Guest96694> daver89: Yes.
[11:14] <Guest96694> If you use wine you will be able to use photoshop
[11:14] <Billynkid1> thrillERboy: So you like sudo apt-get install gimp. Then ;-)
[11:14] <Guest96694> http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=6584
[11:14] <thrillERboy> yea... I use sudo apt-get
[11:15] <t3ch> photoshop cs2 works with wine for cs3 i think it not working yet or ?
[11:15] <Severian> homeskill, yes.  The samba share can easily be mounted by any linux, windows or mac machine in your network.  For some people, that is an advantage.
[11:15] <thrillERboy> But, we want everybody to use a OS. Even grandpas and grandmas. A graphical installer may help it.
[11:15] <t3ch> but gimp is the right choise for designing
[11:15] <t3ch> you dont need to install notingh
[11:16] <homeskill> Severian cant you mount sftp drives like that? ie the program 'sftpdrive'
[11:16] <Guest96694> You can use a gui to install gimp as with everything
[11:16] <t3ch> just type what Billynkid1 says
[11:16] <Guest96694> Because terminal is too hard.
[11:16] <t3ch> lol
[11:16] <homeskill> or can i at least do samba over ssh, or some way to make samba encrypted
[11:16] <t3ch> :g
[11:16] <Leszczoman> Well, I wanted to use Gimp, but it's too hard for me :/
[11:16] <Billynkid1> thrillERboy: then stick to synaptic
[11:16] <gordonjcp> thrillERboy: most grandpas and grandmas don't need any kind of installer, and in fact are better off without it
[11:16] <gordonjcp> Guest96694: for you, possibly
[11:16] <Leszczoman> And in the Internet there aren't many good tutorials
[11:16] <gordonjcp> Guest96694: for me, GUI is too hard
[11:17] <Guest96694> I can do stuff with terminal but try to avoid
[11:17] <gordonjcp> Leszczoman: like I said, easy to use isn't the same as easy to learn
[11:17] <homeskill> gimp is pretty easy if you understand general image editing concepts like layers and masks, so if you know them in photoshop you can learn them in gimp on your own
[11:17] <thrillERboy> apt-get and synaptic both needs internet connection isn't it?
[11:17] <mudassar> Who has developed Chess in ubuntu ?
[11:17] <Guest96694> Anyway is jockey-gtk dependant on the interent?
[11:17] <Severian> homeskill, I have never heard of that program.  If it works well and is included with all 3 operating systems, then maybe yes.  I used to have Windows and Mac on my network, but don't anymore.  So, I can't check.
[11:17] <Billynkid1> thrillERboy: indeed
[11:17] <homeskill> ok
[11:17] <Severian> homeskill, I really doubt that the program is built into Windows, though.
[11:18] <homeskill> it's not
[11:18] <gordonjcp> Guest96694: probably not, I'd imagine it wants to download drivers from *somewhere*
[11:18] <Guest96694> Where does it's drivers from?
[11:18] <Guest96694> I have wnated to know for long time.
[11:19] <thrillERboy> an offline installer can always come in handy. If I reinstall a OS say in 10 systems, I would like to install it with a disk than downloading it everytime
[11:19] <Billynkid1> thrillERboy: a fact i know well on my gprs 256kbps connection
[11:19] <mudassar> who has developed chess in ubuntu ?
[11:19] <thrillERboy> install applications*
[11:19] <Billynkid1> thrillERboy: look up apt-cacher
[11:19] <Severian> homeskill, samba is often the fastest transfer between linux systems for me.  The samba team have really worked on that.  They have to slow down a lot when talking to a Windows system.
[11:19] <gordonjcp> thrillERboy: when you install a package, the deb is usually cached somewhere
[11:20] <fez> oh man
[11:20] <Guest96694> thrillERboy: you can download .deb from getdeb.net an dput on flash drive or cd.
[11:21] <Guest96694> Where does jockey-gtk get it's driver from?
[11:21] <thrillERboy> yeah.... will look apt-cacher...... me got to go now.....
[11:22] <thrillERboy> thanks for all the infos :)
[11:23] <fez> i got back from one HELL of a party
[11:23] <Severian> homeskill, if sftpdrive works for you, then use it.  A nice thing about Linux is that there are often multiple solutions.
[11:24] <Billynkid1> thrillERboy: welcome
[11:24] <depol> Thanks
[11:25] <elky> fez, this is a support channel. #ubuntu-offtopic is the chat channel. both are subject to the IRC Guidelines. See /topic.
[11:26] <fez> elky, I believe you.

[11:26] <LukaszJ> Hello
[11:27] <d-_-b> LukaszJ, Hello.
[11:27] <LukaszJ> Is it true Jaunty comes with "EXA" enabled by default?
[11:27] <Guest96694> Where does jockey-gtk get it's drivers from?
[11:27] <Severian> LukaszJ, Yes, all three of those keys work on my Jaunty system.
[11:28] <fez> the keyboard letters "E, X and A" are enabled by default on Jaunty, yes
[11:28] <fez> damn it
[11:28] <fez> Severian stole my joke
[11:28] <d-_-b> lol
[11:28] <d-_-b> Guest35368, From My Harddrive :)
[11:28] <LukaszJ> Severian: Well, great! Can you tell me how to find out if they do too out here?
[11:29]  * LukaszJ didn't get it at first
[11:29] <fez> LukaszJ, type the letters "e" "x" and "a" into a terminal or text editor. do you see anything on the screen?
[11:29]  * LukaszJ laugh
[11:29] <Severian> LukaszJ, Well type one of those keys while you are in a terminal session and see what happens.   What are you really trying to find out?
[11:29] <LukaszJ> Yes ...I do...
[11:30] <LukaszJ> They appear indeed ;)
[11:30] <fez> ahahahahahahahahaha I beat you that time Severian
[11:30] <d-_-b> lol
[11:30] <Severian> fez, you did indeed.
[11:30] <lastman> What s new to 9.04 that a dont need a configured xorg.conf any more? In my xorg.conf there are only standard settings like Identifier   "Configured Video Device/ Monitor / Default Screen"
[11:30] <hxl>  why is my xorg take so much source of  cpu, any help?
[11:30] <jamieleshaw> Where does jockey-gtk get it's drivers from?
[11:31] <fez> hxl, if you don't have an accelerated graphics driver or if you run a window manager such as compiz that can happien
[11:31]  * fez eats leftover curryt
[11:31] <Severian> lastman, this has something to do with the newer version of X.  It finds out stuff dynamically.  I don't know more specifically, but I'd be interested in reading about that.
[11:32] <Severian> LukaszJ, Is there any real problem you were having?
[11:32] <hxl> the ubuntu has install a driver automaticly
[11:33] <DaveWM> how much disk space does a standard desktop install of ubuntu use?
[11:33] <DaveWM> jaunty
[11:33] <hxl> but it seems the graphics  didnt work
[11:33] <LukaszJ> I've got a radeon 9700 card, it uses "ati" Open-Source driver. Strangely, I can see some problems when I move windows upon each other; They're not smooth but leave some "traces". You know what I mean?
[11:33] <Insomnia1ity> Hi! The gnome-do plugins list is empty on Jaunty - is this a known issue?
[11:33] <Severian> Dave, abit under 4 gig for me.
[11:33] <AussieGuy> how big would a 25 gigabyte apache2 access_log be once compressed with say...bzip2?
[11:33] <DaveWM> ah,  k
[11:34] <DaveWM> just wondering,  i installed the netbook remix off the alternate cd,  and it still has full desktop mode too of course
[11:34] <LukaszJ> Insomnia1ity: Maybe ckeck on http:launchpad.net
[11:34] <DaveWM> i've added alot of packages and its still sitting at 3.2gb
[11:34] <Severian> AussieGuy, That depends on the details in the log.  I have seen them compress 10 to 1, but 5 or 6 to 1 is more common.
[11:34] <DaveWM> which is pretty sweet
[11:35] <hxl> the ati has Open-Source driver?
[11:35] <DaveWM> makes me really wonder what those other netbook distributions have in them that make them such a squeeze
[11:35] <baldo_> salve
[11:35] <Severian> DaveWM  I think the netbook remix is a bit smaller.  I hope you like it.  I need to try it.
[11:35] <penthief> Hi. In the gnuplot interpreter, pressing <C>-<Left> outputs ";5D" instead of jumping a work. I've just compiled gnuplot with "--with-readline=gnu" and it works fine. Does this mean that it's a problem with Ubuntu. How can I fix it?
[11:35] <DaveWM> its nice
[11:35] <hxl> mine is ati. how can i find a driver that match my ubuntu?
[11:35] <penthief> s/work/word
[11:35] <DaveWM> i'm not even using it that way though
[11:35] <DaveWM> changed it to desktop mode
[11:36] <LukaszJ> Severian: That's my problem
[11:36] <DaveWM> and i don't see that its missing anything the desktop version would have
[11:36] <DaveWM> although i havent installed a jaunty desktop yet,  so i dunno
[11:36] <Hymnosis> is there a msn client that support voice conversation?
[11:36] <LukaszJ> Severian: Have you seen it. I didn't forward to your nick, sorry.
[11:36] <robin0800> hxl: Check xorg log to see which drivers its using first
[11:37] <LukaszJ> !it | baldo
[11:37] <Severian> LukaszJ, no I did not see what your problem was.
[11:37] <Insomnia1ity> penthief: could be to do with your terminal?
[11:37] <Insomnia1ity> penthief: maybe post a bug on gnuplot
[11:37] <LukaszJ> Severian: I've got a radeon 9700 card, it uses "ati" Open-Source driver. Strangely, I can see some problems when I grab windows and move across the screen; They're not smooth but leave some "traces". You know what I mean?
[11:37] <hxl> robin0800: how to check the log? i m a newer.
[11:38] <penthief> Insomnia1ity: Not a gnuplot bug.
[11:38] <BlackBishop> I think I funked up my sound card
[11:39] <BlackBishop> the volume applet doesn't see it anymore
[11:39] <BlackBishop> any way I could reconfigure it or anything ... ?
[11:39] <hxl> robin0800: where is the xorg log?
[11:39] <robin0800> hxl: system/administration/log file viewer
[11:39] <LukaszJ> hxl: in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[11:39] <Hymnosis> is there a msn client that support voice conversation?
[11:39] <hxl> thank u
[11:39] <Severian> LukaszJ, I understand that.  I don't know what to do about it.  My main systems all use Intel video from the motherboard.  I have one system with an older ATI, but it is not setup at the moment.  I knew EXA sounded familiar, but I did not place it at first.
[11:40] <LukaszJ> hxl: You find all the logs in /var/log
[11:40] <DaveWM> what's some good eye candy i can add to my desktop environment that's not there by default?
[11:41] <Severian> LukaszJ, I was happy with the open source ATI drivers on that system.  But, if you are having problem, I would probably suggest trying the proprietary drivers.
[11:41] <DaveWM> i'm so amazed by how this is performing on this netbook,  i wanna spice it up now
[11:41] <Severian> DaveWM, Oregano is good.
[11:41] <DaveWM> ok,  you realize that i was about to look up oregano on the repo's
[11:41] <fez> ?
[11:41] <DaveWM> don't do me like that
[11:41] <DaveWM> heh
[11:42] <fez> oergano is OK but weed is better
[11:42] <Severian> I setup a ASUS netbook for a friend.  I used Jaunty and it is quite nice.
[11:42] <robin0800> DaveWM: KDE is good
[11:42] <fez> yes
[11:42] <fez> KDE is great but Kubuntu is mediocre (IMHO)
[11:42] <DaveWM> hmm
[11:42] <fez> I also happen to believe KDE3 is better than KDE4
[11:42] <aprilhare> hey
[11:42] <LukaszJ> Severian: Well, that could be a try for me. But, do any exist? I know for Hardy some proprietary drivers has been replaced by the Original ATI driver. At least, for some chipsets, I guess.
[11:42] <DaveWM> been a while since i checked out kde
[11:43] <DaveWM> i heard kde 4 is sexy
[11:43] <DaveWM> is it 4?  i think it is
[11:43] <chaosphere> danke dir auch
[11:43] <robin0800> fez: Install ubuntu first then add kde
[11:43] <Severian> LukaszJ, I don't know.  The 9700 is pretty new, isnt it?
[11:43] <LukaszJ> Hymnosis: Maybe "aMSn" ?
[11:43] <fez> sexy perhaps but super customizable and memory efficient like the olden days, not so much
[11:43] <grawity> KDE 4.2 is nice. But 4.1 and older is not to be used without apropriate toxic suits.
[11:43] <DaveWM> gotcha
[11:43] <DaveWM> i'll check it out
[11:44] <fez> robin0800, I've done that; basically it is the same as installing kubuntu
[11:44] <hxl> robin0800: wil it be better if i update my ati driver?
[11:44] <fez> robin, for example i use Kate under GNOME a lot
[11:44] <otm24> I'm having problems with ubuntu crashing when I connect to a wireless network. It freezes about 1/3 times that I connect. ctrl+alt+backspace (i enabled this since i'm using 9.04) and ctrl+alt+F1 wont do anything, also the LED's are still lit when it has frozen...can anyone help?
[11:44] <Severian> KDE 4.2 looks really nice.  It just is not very usable.  KDE 3.5 is pretty usable, but ugly.  So, I use GNOME for most machines.
[11:44] <LukaszJ> Severian: Well, no. It's actually one of the olders :)
[11:44] <fez> hxl, everything will be better after you upgrade your ATI driver
[11:44] <fez> I disagree with the assertion that KDE3.5 is ugly
[11:45] <fez> perhaps by default it is
[11:45] <fez> but that's why it's so darn customizable
[11:45] <robin0800> fez: Yes I only use KDE for things Gnome can't do
[11:45] <DaveWM> why's 4.2 not very usable?
[11:45] <grawity> fez: As a Gnome user, I think KDE 3.5 is quite nice.
[11:45] <Lord_Nightmare_> I'm very new to ubuntu, linux ext.. stuff, how do i connect to my wireless network with ubuntu?
[11:45] <fez> grawity ^5
[11:45] <DaveWM> i mean i got gnome looking pretty sweet right now,  i'm just looking for more sex appeal
[11:45] <hxl> fez:how to update my ati driver?
[11:46] <super_hacker> hi to all
[11:46] <Leszczoman> hi
[11:46] <fez> hxl, visit ati.com or enable "use proprietary drivers" from administration
[11:46] <robin0800> DaveWM: Well do try KDE then
[11:46] <Severian> DaveWM, some of the KDE utioities have not been ported to the KDE 4 series yet.  They will get there, and each release has been an improvement.
[11:46] <somaly> Will installing jaunty with full disk encryption via the alternate installer cause it to wear out?
[11:46] <Severian> utioities -> utilities
[11:46] <fez> hxl, then check for a package that is like, "xserver-xorg-ati-radeon" or something like that (presuming you have a radeon)
[11:46] <otm24> I'm having problems with ubuntu crashing when I connect to a wireless network. It freezes about 1/3 times that I connect. ctrl+alt+backspace (i enabled this since i'm using 9.04) and ctrl+alt+F1 wont do anything, also the LED's are still lit when it has frozen...can anyone help?
[11:46] <Lusule> hi there :) has anyone got any tips on where I can find help getting opengl to work with my onboard intel grahpics?
[11:47] <napa_> Can anyone tell me why I only get 800x600 with the ATI/AMD graphics driver from hardware drivers? (I've got a ATI Radeon 2400 pro screen adapter and a NEC 1770NX screen) With generic screen drivers I've got 1284x1024 without any trouble at all
[11:47]  * AussieGuy does cat access.log | grep announce | bzip2 -9 > xbtit.log.bz2
[11:47] <somaly> If yes are we talking about it lasting a couple of years?
[11:47] <fez> Yeah, I don't think default Gnome is any less ugly than default KDE
[11:47] <Severian> somaly, No, the CD will not get any more wear than in a normal install.
[11:47] <DaveWM> also,  i don't want xchat-gnome,  but i wanna know,  is there some way i can make the nicklist autohide in regular xchat?
[11:48] <DaveWM> i was using mIRC via wine...  doesnt perform too well,  bit buggy
[11:48] <hxl> fez: i had download a new driver from ati.com. which is "ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run"  but ...i dont know how to install it..
[11:48] <super_hacker> Okay, I have one problem with ubuntu server 9.04, exactly with Postfix Mail Server
[11:48] <Severian> The hard disk does not really get much more wear either.  The CPU gets most of the extra burden.
[11:48] <fez> hxl, chmod +x that file
[11:48] <LukaszJ> Severian: I'll try to ask on #xorg or #ati. Thank you
[11:48] <fez> then just run it like a binary
[11:48] <somaly> Severian, I meant the acer's hard disk? I read somewhere it is good to use ext2 on them.
[11:48] <hxl> ok ,i will try
[11:48] <robin0800> DaveWM: Try Quassel Very new and found in KDE
[11:49] <super_hacker> Can somebody help me?
[11:49] <somaly> Especially the eeepc. Not sure it it applies to the AA1.
[11:49] <super_hacker> I have one problem.
[11:49] <Leszczoman> how I can open .iso files on Ubuntu?
[11:49] <fez> super_hacker, only if you don't tell us what the problem is
[11:49] <Severian> somaly, Does your machine use a flash drive or a hard disk?
[11:49] <fez> Leszczoman, google it
[11:49] <penthief> How can I find the deb package responsible for a file?
[11:49] <LukaszJ> super_hacker: What's it?
[11:49] <fez> something like
[11:49] <fez> apt-cache list
[11:49] <fez> or something like that
[11:49] <super_hacker> fez, the problem is with Postfix Mail Server in Ubuntu Server 9.04
[11:49] <hxl> fez: chome +x ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run  ?
[11:50] <fez> apt-find
[11:50]  * otm24 is tempted to go back to vista
[11:50] <Leszczoman> Okay, thanks, because I know, that there is Daemon Tools or sth, but I don't know any clients for Linux ;-)
[11:50] <hxl> is that right?
[11:50] <fez> I believe it's apt-find, penthief
[11:50] <albacker> hello guys, is there a way to listen to deezer.com using a desktop application?
[11:50] <LukaszJ> penthief: try "apt-file" command
[11:50] <fez> otm24, go ahead but you won't be any happier with it
[11:50] <fez> apt-file there we go
[11:50] <capiira> anyone know where to get the old gdm theme of intrepid ? this new one is so ugly!
[11:51] <otm24> fez, vista doesn't crash when I connect to a wireless network
[11:51] <Severian> DaveWM, to make the nick list smaller on xchat, just resize that window as small as you want.  I dragged the left edge to the far side and got rid of it.
[11:51] <fez> capiira, don't install 9.04?
[11:51] <Jack8899> I inserted the kubuntu cdrom but when I try to add it to my repositories it says E:failed to mount the cdrom, Help?!
[11:51] <fez> otm24, what wireless network card are you using
[11:51] <LukaszJ> fez: Synaptic may offer you the same in GUI way but I'm not sure.
[11:51] <capiira> 9.04 theme of gdm is ugly :D
[11:51] <penthief> LukaszJ: thanks
[11:51] <capiira> i want the old one
[11:51] <super_hacker> fez, The problem is with Postfix Mail Server in Ubuntu 9.04 which doesn't send mails. Can somebody help me?
[11:51] <DaveWM> i was just hoping there might be some way to make it autohide
[11:51] <hxl> fez: i failed...."bash: chome: command not found"
[11:52] <fez> hxl, chmod not chome
[11:52] <hxl> oh ..

[11:52] <MyWay> Somebody can help me with this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1146773 ?

[11:53] <capiira> robin0800, im talking about the GDM theme not desktop theme
[11:53] <capiira> appearance is just for desktop theme
[11:54] <capiira> login is for gdm
[11:54] <Severian> somaly, That is a standard 2.5 in hard drive.  I would use a journaling file system.  You don't need to worry about writes.  That is a concern for the model that uses only a flash drive.
[11:54] <hxl> some other step to install?

[11:55] <somaly> and if I break it I get to keep both peices
[11:55] <fez> otm24, do you know which driver you're using (lsmod)

[11:56] <fez> hxl, kool
[11:56] <Severian> somaly, I recommend JFS usually, but ext3 will do.  Set it up with LVM, if you understand that.  That will give you flexibilty on where your disk is used.  Setup a /boot with about 400 meg and a swap with 2 gig or so.

[12:01] <Severian> gps23, What form factor cards?  PCI, PCCARD, or what.  The answer is that it is driven by the chip used, and not the model of the card.

[12:03] <super_hacker> okay, I will post the output
[12:04] <Severian> gps23, do you need WPA, or would wep be OK?  If it is wep, I recommend a prism 2 card.  Not prism2a or anything similar.  Those are the most compatible cards you can find.  But they don't do WPA.

[12:07] <Severian> fez, WEP is not secure.  I know that.  So, you have to know how to use it.  You could get my WEP key, but you could not get into my network.  The access point only passes SSH traffic with pre-shared keys.

[12:08] <n_nick> not a new filesys
[12:09] <Severian> n_nick, you first find out what device it is.  You have to be very careful to get this right or you can destroy another drive.  Then, you run fdisk on the device to create a partition.  Then you make a filesystem.  That's it.
[12:09] <aprilhare> rawfael: ubottu is a bot, it cannot understand you

[12:11] <n_nick> linduxed: i dont have it :(
[12:11] <linduxed> n_nick: then type the following
[12:11] <Severian> Stijn, that is overkill.  I use reprogrammed commercial access points like the Linksys.  Install DD-WRT.  Cost $15 and very low power.
[12:11] <Holymen> give it a try with ktorrent or vuze or transmission
[12:12] <n_nick> what ?
[12:12] <linduxed> n_nick: sudo aptitude install gparted
[12:12] <rawfael> Holymen: i will try in bittorrent
[12:13] <n_nick> linduxed: y not sudo apt-get install ?
[12:13] <Stijn> Severian: I know its overKill but it would be cool though? :P
[12:13] <linduxed> n_nick: i prefer aptitude but apt-get works the same
[12:13] <n_nick> oh ok
[12:13] <oschki> hi
[12:13] <livingdaylight> anyone gotz idea why my box doesn't boot from usb?
[12:13] <oschki> im planning installing ubuntu on my old laptop
[12:14] <oschki> but the thing is
[12:14] <Stijn> livingdaylight: Check bios settings
[12:14] <acron17> hi there. how i can get the configure line for a binary package in ubuntu?
[12:14] <oschki> where the heck do i wipe the harddrive in the bios for it?
[12:14] <oschki> can't find it anywhere
[12:14] <livingdaylight> i've set bios to usb (there were three options: usb-cdom, usb-zip, and usb-hdd or something) none allowd to boot from usb
[12:14] <n_nick> No candidate version found for gparted
[12:14] <oschki> it is a compaq evo n610c
[12:14] <livingdaylight> Stijn, yea, i set it to usb in bios
[12:14] <super_hacker> Here is the ifconfig output: http://vmetni.com/7bihi2-2998
[12:14] <robin0800> n_nick: Aptitude is newer and more robust and has a graphical interface
[12:14] <super_hacker> http://vmetni.com/7bihi2-2998
[12:15] <Holymen> livingdaylight some bios must change the hdd prioritty
[12:15] <super_hacker> http://vmetni.com/7bihi2-2998?raw
[12:15] <n_nick> ok i did it but i got an error..
[12:15] <harmz> can anyone tell me where to find the Jaunty powerpc version (unofficial as it may be)?
[12:15] <n_nick>  Package gparted has no installation candidate
[12:15] <lakis1982> is there any application for mouse setup ??? i mean to input in mouse buttons what actions to be performed..... i have a logitech mouse with 8 buttons... please help
[12:15] <raylu> !mouse
[12:16] <livingdaylight> Holymen, when i set priority there seem to be 3 usb options. Anyway, i tried them all and none of them allow system to boot from usb, which is annoying coz ihave no cdroms anymore
[12:16] <Stijn> livingdaylight: you could try to use the bootmenu . Every modern bios has one. Try hitting F12 on biosboot.

[12:16] <raylu> harmz: you may want to look towards debian
[12:16] <super_hacker> ooops sorry
[12:16] <livingdaylight> Stijn, and then opting for usb, i think i tried that
[12:16] <super_hacker> omg the internet connection
[12:16] <super_hacker> made one problem
[12:16] <harmz> raylu what does that mean
[12:17] <gueroh> Hello everyone
[12:17] <raylu> harmz: iirc, ubuntu only supports i386 and amd64. debian supports a few others, including ppc
[12:17] <Holymen> do you know ehat motherboard do you have?
[12:17] <harmz> thanks
[12:17] <n_nick> there is a way to format from the terminal also
[12:17] <Stijn> livingdaylight: Then your usb is not bootable i think. Whats on it?
[12:17] <raylu> harmz: and ubuntu is based on debian, so a lot of things will be the same
[12:17] <n_nick> if i am not mistaken
[12:17] <n_nick> gparted not able to installa
[12:17] <super_hacker> this is the ifconfig: http://vmetni.com/7bihi2-2998?raw
[12:17] <livingdaylight> Stijn, ubuntu
[12:17] <Severian> PPC support was dropped a couple of years ago.  Maybe 3 year.
[12:18] <Holymen> i'm looking for a video thumbail maker prog.any recommendations?
[12:18] <raylu> n_nick: fdisk allows you to manage your partition table, parted,mkfs allows you to format
[12:18] <n_nick> yes mkfs is what i am interested
[12:18] <n_nick> i just want to format my Pen drive
[12:18] <n_nick> thats all
[12:18] <Pudgy> still running Debian PPC.. works like a dream ;)
[12:18] <raylu> n_nick: is there already a partition set up?
[12:19] <n_nick> i wanted gparted also .. but sudo aptitude install gparted not working
[12:19] <n_nick> yes
[12:19] <livingdaylight> Stijn, someone just told me that they have never been able to get their pc to boot from usb either, so, i'm not the only one at least. Also that usb's need to be around the 1gb size and my usb is 8gb
[12:19] <raylu> n_nick: what do you want to format it as?
[12:19] <n_nick> as it is .. FAT32
[12:19] <Severian> Stijn, have you looked at:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=376283
[12:19] <raylu> n_nick: mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1
[12:19] <raylu> n_nick: where sdb1 is the partition you want to format
[12:20] <Jack8899> I was downloading some language files. It took too long so I closed the window, but it seems its still loading in background, because my network is overused. How can i stop it?
[12:20] <raylu> Jack8899: downloading with what?
[12:20] <acron17> can someone give me a hint how to get the configure line for a binary package in ubuntu?
[12:20] <linux> what?
[12:20] <linux> for what?
[12:20] <raylu> acron17: you could try asking in #ubuntu-motu
[12:20] <Stijn> Severian: Omg thanks! Just what i neded!
[12:20] <linux> yell,
[12:20] <Jack8899> raylu: with the system settings -> Regional & Language
[12:20] <linux> well
[12:20] <raylu> acron17: but it may show up somewhere in the files downloaded from "apt-get source package"
[12:21] <aprilhare> i was going to say reactos is looking good - then i fired up firefox and found the text is borked :)
[12:21] <aprilhare> heh
[12:21] <acron17> raylu: thanks i'll ask there
[12:21] <raylu> Jack8899: run "top" in a terminal; is it obvious what is downloading stuff?
[12:21] <Jack8899> raylu: I wanted to install my language, but before that it asked me to update some language stuf...
[12:21] <acron17> raylu: right. i'm search already there but with no luck till now...
[12:21] <raylu> aprilhare: reactos makes little sense to me
[12:21] <raylu> acron17: oh :(
[12:22] <n_nick> raylu:  my pendrive is in /media as disk.. so i tried mkfs.vfat /media/disk it didnt work ..
[12:22] <raylu> n_nick: no, /media/disk is the mount point of that partition
[12:22] <aprilhare> raylu: actually it makes lots of sense to me. i have a sony reader and the official drivers aren't available for linux. they should work great with reactos though.
[12:22] <raylu> n_nick: if you type "mount", it will show you what device is mounted at that mountpoint
[12:22] <raylu> n_nick: you want to mkfs on that. it should be in /dev
[12:22] <n_nick> ohh
[12:22] <n_nick> ok
[12:23] <raylu> aprilhare: but then why not just get windows?
[12:23] <aprilhare> raylu: reactos is free :)
[12:23] <Jack8899> raylu: no, its not obvious. it doesnt show the network activity there.
[12:23] <raylu> aprilhare: which free do you care about?
[12:23] <aprilhare> raylu: free as in open source and free as in beer
[12:23] <raylu> Jack8899: but whatever's downloading it should be using cpu too, shouldn't it?
[12:24] <aprilhare> raylu: six of one or half a dozen of the other
[12:24] <raylu> aprilhare: i'm not sure what the benefits of oss software would be if it's just emulating windows
[12:24] <raylu> aprilhare: heh
[12:24] <aprilhare> raylu: i just told you one.
[12:24] <aprilhare> driver support (direct)
[12:25] <raylu> Jack8899: killall gnome-language-selection
[12:25] <raylu> er...
[12:25] <raylu> Jack8899: killall gnome-language-selector
[12:25] <aprilhare> another is that it has a tiny footprint compared to m$ and is infinitely more snappy
[12:25] <Jack8899> raylu: well, there is xrog, quassel, ksysguard, systemsettings, kosoftirq (sometimes)
[12:25] <Jack8899> raylu: well, actually i use kde

[12:26] <phix> Dr_Willis: was I talking to you?

[12:27] <n_nick> sudo apt-get install gparted ?
[12:27] <n_nick> did i go wrong anywhere
[12:27] <Jack8899> raylu: i used pgrep -l language, but it only gave me back "language-sel"
[12:27] <n_nick> i also tried sudo aptitude install gparted
[12:28] <raylu> Jack8899: so use the other to get the full name. or just "kill 12345" where 12345 is the pid that appeared before language-sel
[12:28] <penthief> super_hacker: Yeah, recently I heard of someone having to contact their ISP to get their IP address whitelisted so that they could connect to the ISP's mail server. Or something. I guess this is what you will have to do.
[12:28] <raylu> n_nick: have you run apt-get/aptitude update recently?
[12:28] <n_nick> no
[12:28] <raylu> n_nick: well, do that :D
[12:29] <n_nick> ohk

[12:37] <Dr_Willis> mello:  what are you trying to do exactly? Pop it in. and gnome 'should' pop up a 'play this' dialog.. or you could run some cd-player app.
[12:37] <Severian> mello, Is it a standard red book cd?
[12:37] <wonnytta> raylu: yes, "quite" is in there
[12:37] <Dr_Willis> mello:  you DONT 'mount' audio cd's  normally. :)

[12:51] <afancy> HI, how to upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04?
[12:51] <Jack8899> raylu: where do i have it?
[12:52] <raylu> Jack8899: /media/cdrom... type ls /media
[12:52] <wonnytta> raylu: it actually goes back and forth between the splash screen and the text. I think it only switches to text when there's a warning. do you know if there's an option to disable the switch if there's a warning?
[12:52] <Severian> afancy, Start the Update Manager.  It should give you that option.
[12:52] <raylu> wonnytta: nope :(
[12:52] <Jack8899> raylu: cdrom  cdrom0  Kubuntu 9.04 amd64
[12:52] <raylu> Jack8899: ok. sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
[12:52] <Severian> afancy     System/Administration/Update Manager
[12:53] <afancy> Severian: is there any problem if i do the upgrade
[12:53] <S4th3N> :(
[12:53] <gluonman> I put my external hard drive into a Mac to copy a video over, but the Mac has no write permissions. I can't reset the permissions on the Mac, and for some reason I cannot change the permissions on my Ubuntu box. What should I do?
[12:53] <whiter> hello
[12:53] <Jack8899> raylu: done
[12:53] <whiter> how can i get desktop icons
[12:54] <whiter> like the trash
[12:54] <whiter> the home folder, etc
[12:54] <raylu> Jack8899: so, does it work now?
[12:54] <Severian> afancy, you are asking a lot.  The upgrade is a nice improvement.  There are some features that are frustrating.  It depends on what you have.
[12:54] <raylu> !icons
[12:54] <topgun553> I installed ubuntu side by side after windows, but it says it only has 161 MB free space, what should I do?
[12:54] <afancy> OK
[12:54] <whiter> thanks
[12:54] <whiter> exit
[12:55] <Jack8899> raylu: no, it still says E:failed to mount the cdrom when I try to add CDrom to my repositories
[12:55] <azlon> hrmm
[12:56] <Severian> afancy, I have upgraded 6 machines and not had any big problems.  I don't like the way update manager works in 9.04.  But, for most people upgrading is a good thing.
[12:56] <gluonman> I need to change the permissions on my external hard drive so that I can use my friend's Mac to copy a video onto my external. Can I have help? Soon?
[12:56] <azlon> getting errors when using Portable Linux... anybody had any problems when it tries to create the windows partition?
[12:56] <afancy> Severian: i mean will it override some directory, as i have install Postgresql, and Mysql and some other stuff of my project.
[12:56] <raylu> Jack8899: i'm not sure then. i'd look in /etc/apt/sources.list to see how the cd is set up there and consider "apt-get update" for a possibly more detailed error. i also have to go now, so sorry
[12:57] <raylu> gluonman: if the external is fat32, that's entirely a mac issue
[12:57] <topgun553> I installed ubuntu side by side after windows, but it says it only has 161 MB free space, what should I do?
[12:57] <gluonman> raylu, it's ntfs
[12:57] <raylu> gluonman: or you have read-nly on
[12:57] <etb> in jaunty how can i stop the stupid popup notification of pidgin?
[12:57] <raylu> gluonman: ntfs doesn't have a permissions system... so still a mac problem :D
[12:57] <raylu> *read-only
[12:57] <Hymnosis> what is the default font on ubuntu 9.04?
[12:57] <Severian> afancy, I have upgraded systems with Postgres and Mysql.  After the upgrade, the new versions worked fine and my databases were accessible, just like before.
[12:57] <Boski-PL> Hello, could any1 hep me to mount raid0 set step by step  with xp installation on it?
[12:57] <gluonman> raylu, k.  Shootz!
[12:58] <afancy> Severian: very good. thanks
[12:58] <Jack8899> raylu: apt-get update says: E: Konnte Lockdatei /var/lib/apt/lists/lock nicht öffnen - open (13 Permission denied)
[12:58] <Jack8899> E: Kann das Listenverzeichnis nicht sperren
[12:58] <raylu> Jack8899: you need sudo for that, of course
[12:58] <raylu> Jack8899: also, #ubuntu-de and #kubuntu-de might be able to help you :D
[12:59] <raylu> but i really have to go now
[12:59] <wiehan> can't get my sound working at all, 9.04
[12:59] <Jack8899> raylu: ok, thanks
[12:59] <wiehan> Please sound experts out there, help me fix this.

[13:00] <whiter> also, is there any way to get my iphone working natively with ubuntu?
[13:00] <whiter> i don't really want to install itunes through wine..
[13:00] <SporadicCrash> a very stupid question to you guys: Why is there "make" but not "gmake" in the default distribution of Ubuntu? (Jaunty Jackalope)
[13:01] <silv3r_m001> hi there
[13:01] <topgun553> Is there a way to repartition the harddrives so that doesn't result in data loss?
[13:01] <wiehan> Help me fix my sound. Please. I don't even know where to start
[13:01] <ruskos1993> Привет всем
[13:02] <Dr_Willis> topgun553:  when in doubt - keep backups.. gparted can 'resize' partitions. and do lots of things.. but keep backups
[13:02] <zfmf> hi guys, i have a question , i installed on my windows  pc with virtualbox ubuntu 9, can i access my other harddisk where my mp3 and downloads are?
[13:02] <d0_0d> yes
[13:02] <ayathehusker> heya
[13:03] <Dr_Willis> zfmf:  you have windows, running virtualbox, running ubuntu 9.04 ?
[13:03] <d0_0d> i think thats what he meant
[13:03] <zfmf> yes
[13:03] <ayathehusker> jaunty rocks
[13:03] <d0_0d> im going to get of windwos and boot from linux mint now bye
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> Virtutalbox has a feture to 'share'  dirctories that you can mount, once you install the vbox guest addations, OR you could just use  the normal smb/sharing/ssh/winscp stuff
[13:04] <ayathehusker> i opened like 12 games and 4 videos + youtube and tv tuner, mp3 and no lag in any of them
[13:04] <ayathehusker> sooo fast
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> see virgualbox docs for details on the 'vbox shared' directory feature. and the forum posts mentionit.
[13:04] <SporadicCrash> ayathehusker, CPU, RAM and video adapter you have?
[13:05] <regev> Hello all. I'm having a problem installing 9.04.  I have removed alsa and reinstalled it. To no avail. Please help me.
[13:06] <S4th3N> ok bye
[13:06] <regev> Thanks. I have windows XP with one HD with 80G. I deleted a lot of files so now I have around 60G of free space. When I install 9.04 from the CD, I get to the partitioning part
[13:06] <regev> And then it seems like it doesn't recognized all the free space
[13:07] <regev> It things that XP has almost all the HD (70+G) and only like 2.5G free
[13:07] <Jack8899> raylu: are you there?
[13:07] <Billynkid1> atheros
[13:07] <regev> I may have some misunderstanding here, I don't really understand these things
[13:07] <ayathehusker> anyone know how to get past the unlocking keyring that gnome do has to unlock each time i launch GDM? I looked in my keyrings and i cant even find a default keyring. :( kinda new to some off the stuff.
[13:07] <Dr_Willis> regev:  i tend to use gparted and manually resize the windows partition (shrink it) to have part of the HD at the end of the drive 'unallocated' then i reboot and let the ubuntu installer use that unallocated space.
[13:07] <wiehan> regev did you chose the option "use largest continous free space"
[13:07] <xand> regev: just deleting files won't make a partition smaller
[13:07] <Omeil> Hi all i am unable to boot into ubuntu after installing the restricted drivers from the hardware drivers selection in System, ATI related, I have fixed xserver to vesa but to no luck i also tried aticonfig --inital -f from root recovery and also aticonfig --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf --tls=1 because it looked like xserver isn't loading the xorg.conf because of the ati installation
[13:07] <Labutaw> lspci i saw my network adapter but when ifconfig i  only see LO why? and there is no eth0 or eth1
[13:08] <robin0800> wiehan: Try removing pulse audio
[13:08] <ayathehusker> i mean it only makes me type in my root pw when i login but id like to fix the issue so i dont have to type anything
[13:08] <regev> Dr_willis - gparted is already in linux, no?
[13:08] <wiehan> robin0800 thanks, I'll try that, please hang on to help me if that doesn't help.
[13:08] <Dr_Willis> regev:  you can install gparted, if its not on the livecd.
[13:08] <regev> weihan - No I didn't, because I thought it would use that 2.5G bit. What would happen if I used it? Can't I decide I want only 50G free?
[13:08] <Omeil> After the ubuntu splash screen with the loading bar, the screen flashes to half of my desktop with te top half being a distorted image
[13:09] <Aayush> from where cound i downl;oad kernel source for ubuntu 9.04
[13:09] <Jack8899> I get the error E:failed to mount cdrom when I try to add my kubuntu cd to my repositories
[13:09] <regev> Dr_willis - I'm just following the instructing on the installation program, I don't see how I can install anythiung
[13:09] <Dr_Willis> regev:  i DONT let the installer resize.. i boot up live cd,,, run gparted..  then i manually shrink the parttiions
[13:09] <Labutaw> lspci i saw my network adapter but when ifconfig i  only see LO why? and there is no eth0 or eth1?
[13:09] <Dr_Willis> regev:  i perfer a bit more contoll.
[13:10] <xand> Labutaw: ifconfg -a
[13:10] <regev> Dr_willis - in what part do I run gparted?
[13:10] <SporadicCrash> "ifconfig -a"
[13:10] <regev> There's actually an option to set the partitions manually
[13:10] <xand> Labutaw: if it's there but not without the -a, it means the interface is there but not active
[13:10] <Dr_Willis> regev:  when you get to the 'desktop' on the liove cd. you can install/run gparted.
[13:10] <regev> But I'm not sure what to do there, I'm afraid to wipe out stuff
[13:10] <Aayush> from where cound i download kernel source for ubuntu 9.04
[13:10] <wiehan> regev, I can't get my head around what exactly the problem is, but like someone else said, deleting files WON'T make a partition smaller, ubuntu tries to resize the partitions if you check, "use largest cont..." otherwise you can manualy do it with gparted. OR just insert ubuntu CD while in windows and install as wubi - that really works well to
[13:11] <Labutaw> xand how to make active?
[13:11] <Dr_Willis> regev:  once you have part of the HD 'unallocated' you can tell the installer to 'use unallocated space' and let it partition as it needs.
[13:11] <Labutaw> xand? how to make active? any links
[13:11] <xand> Aayush: the linux-source package
[13:11] <regev> So at what part exactly would I run gparted?
[13:11] <xand> Labutaw: click the network icon on the toolbar at the top of the screen
[13:12] <Labutaw> xand: i dont have GUI i use text mode hardy heron server 8.04
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> regev:  'boot live cd' - get to desktop, 'install gparted, run gparted'  resize, reboot,  start installer
[13:12] <CantGetANick> hi all i need a general opinion about amd vs intel
[13:12] <xand> Labutaw: oh right, you probably need to edit /etc/network/interfaces then
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> regev:  or explore the installer some more. its supposed to be able to 'resize' the windows drives.
[13:12] <xand> Labutaw: is network manager installed or not?
[13:13] <regev> I see
[13:13] <oivoodoo> hi, guys. Can you help me with my samsung 795DF monitor to set resolution and refresh rate to "1204x768@100hz"?
[13:13] <Labutaw> im not sure if i did install it how do i know it
[13:13] <Labutaw> :)
[13:13] <Hoffmann> Hello! I just updated to 9.04 and I have no WLAN, no ath0 or anything
[13:13] <Hymnosis> what is the default font on ubuntu 9.04?
[13:14] <Labutaw> xand: but when i start i saw starting networking
[13:14] <Mr> testing testing 1... 2..
[13:14] <robin0800> oivoodoo: Tried sytem/preferences /display?
[13:14] <xand> er
[13:14] <Leszczoman> I already installed polish remix of Ubuntu 904. It looks pretty good.
[13:14] <regev> I'm trying to use the "specify partitions manually" option in the installe
[13:14] <oivoodoo> I am not sure that's help me)
[13:14] <Hymnosis> what is the default font on ubuntu 9.04?
[13:15] <Labutaw> xand: any idea where can i fetch some good command for it :)
[13:15] <beasty> tahoma :p
[13:15] <oivoodoo> By default System support only 85hz
[13:15] <regev>  I have only one devide, in which there are two partitions - /dev/sda1 which is ntfs and has 80G, and another label "free space" with 8 megas
[13:16] <xand> Labutaw: "ps -ef | grep -i network" and see if there is network-manager or something there
[13:16] <regev> I'm selecting "Edit partition", it uses only 14G so I rewrite the size to be 30000M
[13:16] <wiehan> robin0800: still not working, removed pulseaudio, didn't restart - would that make a diff?
[13:16] <CantGetANick> hi all i need a general opinion about amd vs intel
[13:16] <regev> Is that okay? Will that just resize the partition or will it wipe it all out?
[13:17] <regev> There's another option - "use as" and it's selected as default as "do not use this partition" - is that okay? Will my XP remain intact?
[13:17] <robin0800> wiehan: Reinstall alsa
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> regev:  i think theres some install docs at teh ubuntu web site.. you want to be carefull. and when in doubtg BACKUP your  Imporntant data.
[13:17] <wiehan> robin0800: just plain sudo apt-get auto remove alsa. Then sudo apt-get install alsa. Then sudo alsa reload or what?
[13:18] <Dr_Willis> regev:  this is why i use gparted and manually resize the windows partitions to begin with.. that way i am SURE what the installer id installingto
[13:18] <robin0800> wiehan: sudo apt-get reinstall -f alsa*
[13:19] <wiehan> robin0800: it says: E: Invalid operation reinstall
[13:19] <Labutaw> xand: i see somthing like migo 4265 4227 xxxxxx bla
[13:20] <regev> It seems to be a bit weird that someone who doesn't know linux at all has to boot it up, load some program in order for it to work..
[13:20] <xand> Labutaw: does it say network manager?
[13:20] <Labutaw> nope
[13:20] <regev> It seems the install docs are not updated to 9.04
[13:20] <Labutaw> xand: nope
[13:20] <MotivatedWarDog> hello all
[13:20] <Dr_Willis> regev:  time to learn some tools.. or not and go back to windows i guess.. or  figure out what the instller is asking and  go for it.
[13:20] <xand> Labutaw: ok, in that case you need to edit /etc/network/interfaces
[13:20] <CantGetANick> sorry to bug you guys again i need a general opinion about amd vs intel
[13:20] <Dr_Willis> regev:  your choice..  linux is all about choices. im telling you how 'I' do it. so i am sure its doing exctly what i want
[13:21] <Labutaw> xand: okey and
[13:21] <xand> Labutaw: example - http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/
[13:21] <MotivatedWarDog> does anyone know a good emulation program, i tried to use VM Wareplayer, but i couldn't figure out how to just pop an OS install disk into my drive and install it virtually ?
[13:21] <robin0800> wiehan: Sorrey must be aptitude not apt-get
[13:21] <wiehan> regev: you are wrong: that which you want to do can't be doen with windows in the first place. You do not HAVE to boot "some other program" to "make it work". just read the documentation. or backup your stuff FIRST and then play around
[13:21] <Dr_Willis> MotivatedWarDog:  virtualbox i find easer then vmware.
[13:21] <Dr_Willis> MotivatedWarDog:  its rather easy to  figure out.
[13:21] <wiehan> robin0800: Ok, done
[13:22] <bazhang> CantGetANick, in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[13:22] <MotivatedWarDog> thanks Dr Willis
[13:22] <CantGetANick> thanks bazhang
[13:22] <wiehan> robin0800: still not working
[13:23] <loldma> hi
[13:23] <regev> Okay, thanks a lot guys
[13:23] <chazco> Hi... does anyone know why Totem-gstreamer seems to have issues playing OGMs on 9.04 (the video doesnt usually play, although sometimes it does) but Totem-xine doesnt?
[13:23] <robin0800> wiehan: Don't know then try help & support
[13:24] <loldma> can anyone tell me how to run an old script? it always makes unexcepted "(" syntax error :(
[13:24] <loldma> (kylix install on 8.04
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> chazco:  ive herad of others with the same issue.. perhaps check the forums.. thers been  a dozen people asking about it in here over the last week
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> loldma:  be sure the script is calling #!/bin/bash instead of #!/bin/sh as the first line perhaps...
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> loldma:  or 'bash whateverscript'
[13:24] <chazco> Dr_Willis - Ok, will do (probably been me asking on here :D )
[13:25] <Dr_Willis> chazco:  i got no ogm's hand to to test. so cant help.
[13:25] <Dr_Willis> chazco:  plus i always use gmplauer or vlc. :)
[13:25] <Labutaw> xand: how will i know that if i assign my eth0 is for my realtek
[13:25] <Labutaw> xand: and my 3com is for my eth1
[13:26] <AussieGuy> is there a proper scientific calculator for linux?
[13:26] <AussieGuy> with a shift key etc
[13:26] <notoriouseed> Hi
[13:26] <chazco> Dr_Willis - Considered switching... need DVB, DVD and various other media formats. Totem also has the thumbnailer...
[13:26] <loldma> i've tried bash xyz :S
[13:26] <loldma> same :S
[13:26] <notoriouseed> I'm having trouble connecting to my NX
[13:26] <Dr_Willis> chazco:  err.. vlc can play  most anything ive ever tossed at it. including dvd.
[13:26] <ayathehusker> i think there is TI calculator emulators for linux, check on zophar.net. That would probably give you functionality.
[13:26] <Dr_Willis> loldma:  check first line of the script.
[13:27] <chazco> Dr_Willis - But it doesnt have a thumbnail and DVB support was poor :(
[13:27] <Dr_Willis> chazco:  no idea what you mean by thumbnail support.
[13:27] <error404notfound> any comments at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1146964 ?
[13:27] <Dr_Willis> dosent sound like somthing crutical to me and my anime watching. :)
[13:27] <xand> Labutaw: dmesg | grep eth
[13:27] <DaveWM> so is kubuntu just ubuntu with kde instead of gnome as default desktop?
[13:27] <xand> Labutaw: should say there
[13:27] <Dr_Willis> DaveWM:  yes.
[13:27] <chazco> Dr_Willis - The thumbnails shown in Nautilus... they're generated by totem by default
[13:27] <MotivatedWarDog> <--- hates the internet on base in Japan
[13:27] <loldma> #!/bin/bash
[13:28] <Dr_Willis> chazco:  so? i still use vlc, and  the thumbnails in teh file manager works the same.
[13:28] <moDumass> hey all, is it unsafe to hold your breath until you pass out?
[13:28] <error404notfound> moDumass, no :P
[13:28] <ayathehusker> i tried kubuntu but had some errors and the regular gnome one works great for me though. Dont know if theres any advantages since you can launch kde apps in gnome and gnome apps in kde.
[13:28] <Dr_Willis> loldma:  sounds like the file may be currupted.. or  very badly done.
[13:28] <moDumass> awesome
[13:28] <DaveWM> shouldnt be too bad if you don't hit your head on the way down
[13:28] <notoriouseed> I have enabled the root account and have no space left on this for some reason
[13:28] <chazco> Dr_Willis - Then presumably Totem is able to play your files, but since Totem cant play these the thumbnails dont work (wouldnt be an issue but they're very useful when text cant be seen on my low-resolution projector)
[13:28] <loldma> setup.data/main.sh: 73: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
[13:28] <loldma> where is a simple "function xyz(){"
[13:28] <DaveWM> i was just looking for some eye candy
[13:29] <moDumass> its my new mission
[13:29] <DaveWM> i may give kde 4 a shot
[13:29] <moDumass> it will become a party trick
[13:29] <Labutaw> xand: i can't see it, i really wonder how to identify thos two network adapter
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> chazco:  ive heard of others that said the OGM thumbnails DID work.. but the player wouldent play them right.
[13:29] <loldma> people saying it worked on 5.04
[13:29] <xand> Labutaw: can't see what? does ifconfig -a have eth0 and eth1?
[13:29] <Labutaw> xand: coz when i ifconfig i saw none of my ethX active
[13:29] <moDumass> im going to combine it with an emergency inflatable vest, when i pass out it inflates and excess air blows a whistle
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> chazco:  about all i can say is check the forums.. sounds like some quirky problem.
[13:30] <chazco> Dr_Willis - Hmm... seems to be a 50/50 chance of them working here but mostly they dont... otherwise I'd agree and switch to another player (Kaffeine would be good if not so bloated)
[13:30] <chazco> Dr_Willis - On the forums atm :) Thanks :)
[13:30] <xand> Labutaw: with -a?
[13:30] <Labutaw> xand: i get it now
[13:30] <wiehan> how do I reset all my sound, alsa, pulseaudio, OSS and sound preferences to default?
[13:30] <xand> right
[13:30] <Labutaw> xand: lols thanks
[13:31] <Labutaw> xand: coz last time when i setup my 8.04 i have my 2 adapter installed
[13:31] <Labutaw> xand: this time without adapter

[13:34] <oliver_g2> but some built-in sound would be nice :-/
[13:34] <TarBar> Is there an easy way to start ubuntu desktop without a GUI?
[13:35] <nnull> Guys ive been having problems with FireFox randomly crashing, so ran it out of a terminal all that echo's upon the crash is "Segmentation Fault :" .. any ideas?
[13:35] <MQDuck> Hi, people. I have a question: Is there a command-line e-mail client that can be used to write a script to send an e-mail periodically?
[13:35] <muelli> TarBar: remove gdm from /etc/rc*.d/
[13:35] <oliver_g2> DaveWM: did you try the Appearance dialog (if you use Gnome, that is)?
[13:35] <muelli> MQDuck: sendmail, mailx, xmail, mutt, telnet, python, ... there are plenty :)
[13:35] <DaveWM> yeah
[13:36] <notoriouseed> Is sda2 the admin account?
[13:36] <DaveWM> it only replaces some icons,  i guess for known items
[13:36] <oliver_g2> oh
[13:36] <notoriouseed> becuase i cannot NX to my server
[13:36] <grawity> MQDuck: You could just use raw SMTP from your favourite programming language (even from a shell script).
[13:36] <notoriouseed> and its saying disk is fulkl
[13:36] <DaveWM> i'd like it if i could get all my taskbar and desktop icons replaced
[13:36] <oliver_g2> yeah, probably there are a few only high-contrast icons available at all
[13:36] <DaveWM> desktop will be easy,  but the taskbar icons i dunno
[13:36] <MQDuck> I'll look into those. Thanks, guys
[13:36] <wonnytta> how do you turn off warnings on boot up? I hate the splash screen switches to verbose mode everytime there's a warning
[13:37] <Dr_Willis> TarBar:  just disable the gdm service.. X wont start up at boot.
[13:37] <oliver_g2> notoriouseed: sda2 is probably the second partion on your hard disk#
[13:37] <marko-_--> how can i convert a .flv file to .wma ?
[13:37] <Labutaw> !ping
[13:37] <thirsteh> TarBar: sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove
[13:37] <oliver_g2> (sda = first disk; sda2: second partition on that disk)
[13:38] <Dr_Willis> marko-_--:  ffmpeg, and mencoder can covert them to different formats. use avi. not wma :)
[13:38] <thirsteh> TarBar: If you want to enable it again later, use: sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults
[13:38] <marko-_--> Dr_Willis, i need to get only the sound, because i need to burn a sound from a youtube video to a cd
[13:38] <marko-_--> what do you suggest me ?
[13:38] <uli> marko: then use mp3
[13:38] <oliver_g2> DaveWM: the app/Gnome/Ubuntu devs will certainly be happy if you supply high-contrast themed icons for their apps :-D
[13:38] <Dr_Willis> marko-_--:  check the mencoder, or ffmpeg docs/faq they got examples of things like that.
[13:39] <marko-_--> ok, tnx
[13:39] <DaveWM> i'm talking about using the ones that are already on here
[13:39] <wonnytta> how do you turn off warnings on boot up? I hate the splash screen switches to verbose mode everytime there's a warning
[13:39] <DaveWM> i wasnt gonna go through all that trouble
[13:39] <oliver_g2> though, dunno if it's even possible to get the icons converted
[13:39] <oliver_g2> which icons do you mean exactly?
[13:39] <DaveWM> i'm talking about the high contrast inverted icon theme that you can select
[13:40] <DaveWM> they're big,  white with black outlines
[13:40] <oliver_g2> eek
[13:40] <oliver_g2> I just tried that
[13:40] <DaveWM> they look good with my current theme on this eee pc
[13:40] <oliver_g2> it looks freakish in its inconsistency :-)
[13:40] <DaveWM> yeah,  having it mixed with regular icons makes it not so nice really
[13:40] <loldma> Dr_Willis: the problem is that in one of the setup scripts it calls the main.sh with sh main.sh, now i try to search where is it in the code :S
[13:40] <Ignite> few feels good to overcome problems
[13:41] <Dr_Willis> loldma:  yep.. seen that in the past also...
[13:41] <Dr_Willis> loldma:  as a 'work around' you could change the default shell to be 'bash' instead of sh.
[13:41] <oliver_g2> here, I'm missing hiconstrast icons for firefox, apport, tracker, transmission, rhythmbox and NM...
[13:41] <oliver_g2> and for all applets
[13:41] <loldma> also i found a solution as "sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash"
[13:41] <Dr_Willis> loldma:  i think ya can do it with 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure sh'
[13:41] <Dr_Willis> loldma:  yep. :)
[13:42] <Dr_Willis> loldma:  file a bug report on teh srcipt writers. :) heh
[13:42] <loldma> but won't it screw up my terminal?
[13:42] <Dr_Willis> loldma:  change it back afterwards
[13:42] <loldma> how?
[13:42] <Dr_Willis> loldma:  sh is he 'system shell' NOT the 'users shell'
[13:42] <wonnytta> how do you turn off warnings on boot up? The splash screen switches to verbose mode everytime there's a warning
[13:42] <Dr_Willis> how to change it back? same way you changed it to begin with
[13:42] <coz_> hey guys there doesnt seem to be a libglew1.5-dev in the repos   anyplace to aquire this for ubuntu?
[13:43] <Dr_Willis> !find libglew
[13:43] <loldma> okay, a have some knowledge problems :d so what is the main shell what the terminal uses?
[13:43] <Dr_Willis> loldma:  users nomally use 'bash' system scripts normally use 'sh'
[13:43] <antonio_> ciao, buona domenica
[13:43] <Dr_Willis> loldma:  and sh is set to be 'dash' on ubuntu now..
[13:43] <cybotron> does anyone know how to change colours in LINKS2 browser???
[13:43] <coz_> Dr_Willis,  I cant find it in the repositories at all
[13:43] <loldma> oh thanks :)
[13:43] <wonnytta> how do you turn off warnings on boot up? The splash screen switches to verbose mode everytime there's a warning
[13:44] <Dr_Willis> coz_:  try a 'sudo apt-get update'  and 'upgrade' and try again?
[13:44] <coz_> Dr_Willis,  nope its not in the repos
[13:45] <jamescarr> I have a lexmark x2500 printer, which apparently is not supported for linux and there are no drivers
[13:45] <jamescarr> is there really no way to print on it?
[13:45] <vatts[afk]> jamescarr: is it on usb?
[13:45] <TarBar> Thirsteh: Thanks, I'l give it a try.
[13:45] <antonio_> why when i connect to svn repo, nothing happen????
[13:46] <Dr_Willis> coz_:  it just installed here fine.
[13:46] <vatts[afk]> antonio_: if you dont check it out to folder, nothing will happen...
[13:46] <DaveWM> what's the easiest way to backup my system in ubuntu?  just dd the whole thing to another disk?
[13:46] <vatts[afk]> svn co svn://svn.address/folder /home/username/localfolder @ antonio_
[13:46] <Dr_Willis> coz_:
[13:46] <jamescarr> vatts[afk], yes
[13:46] <Dr_Willis> Setting up libglew1.5-dev (1.5.0dfsg1-3ubuntu1) ...
[13:46] <coz_> Dr_Willis, appologies  I had the canonical-supporteed open source software main enable
[13:46] <antonio_> sudo svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg
[13:46] <marco76> each time I want to watch tv I need to type the folowing command : sudo tvtime -d /dev/video1. Is there a way of configuring tvtime so I wont need to type that command?
[13:46] <vatts[afk]> jamescarr: then it should do it?
[13:47] <jamescarr> vatts[afk], it is on usb
[13:47] <vatts[afk]> antonio_: no need for sudo
[13:47] <vatts[afk]> because
[13:47] <coz_> Dr_Willis, rather I didnt have that ticked
[13:47] <Dr_Willis> coz_:  not sure where that package came from. but it instlled. :)
[13:47] <Dr_Willis> coz_:  heh..
[13:47] <jamescarr> nothing happens when I plug it in
[13:47] <vatts[afk]> you'll get it on root's home dir , antonio_
[13:47] <coz_> Dr_Willis,  yeah it was entirely my fault :)
[13:47] <LadyNikon> What are some disadvantages of installing via windows?
[13:47] <TarBar> thirsteh: It's saying: update-rc.d /etc/ini.d/gdm exists during rc.d purge
[13:47] <coz_> Dr_Willis, woops  on second examination this is the readout   E: I wasn't able to locate file for the libglew1.5-dev package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package.
[13:47] <cybotron> does anyone know how to change colours in links2?
[13:48] <tgbryano> jaunty and intel 82Q35 Express Integrated Graphics Controller, anyone else having problems with this graphics card, my desktop is barely usable soo slow.  I have followed all the guides i can find including reverting back to the xorg 2.4 driver, upgrading the kernel and various other things and its still slow - to the point im considering dumping jaunty
[13:48] <thirsteh> TarBar: remember the "-f" parameter: sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove
[13:48] <Dr_Willis> coz_: $ pastebinit  /etc/apt/sources.list
[13:48] <Dr_Willis> http://pastebin.com/f79d93fb4
[13:48] <TarBar> Ah k
[13:48] <Dr_Willis> coz_:  thats my sources.list :)
[13:48] <coz_> Dr_Willis,  ok hold on
[13:48] <Dr_Willis> LadyNikon:  i suggest doing a normal install.
[13:49] <mudassar> Hello experts, I have problem with mic in ubuntu I can't talk in skype in ubuntu 9.04. Somebody please help me.
[13:49] <thirsteh> TarBar: You can use "/etc/init.d/gdm stop" afterwards if you don't want to reboot
[13:49] <LadyNikon> Dr_Willis: that bad huh?
[13:49] <TarBar> ok
[13:49] <xfm> Hello, I need help to localise a file *.deb which is corrupted on my ubuntu
[13:49] <Dr_Willis> LadyNikon:  if you cant do a full install. perhaps try ubuntu in 'virtualbox'
[13:49] <coz_> Dr_Willis,  http://pastebin.com/md1eb803  I will compare the two although this is a clean install of 9.04
[13:49] <TarBar> thirsteh: Thanks, Working great.
[13:50] <xfm> I want to install the ATI drivers but apparently the *.deb is corruptd
[13:50] <thirsteh> TarBar: :-)
[13:50] <LadyNikon> Dr_Willis: i did the windows install just to test it out.. and ASUS did something funky with their HDD partitioning.
[13:51] <LadyNikon> Dr_Willis: but the new version of ubuntu looks very nice :)
[13:51] <Dr_Willis> LadyNikon:  many windows vendors set up a 'restore' partition on teh start of the ahrd drive.
[13:51] <LadyNikon> Dr_Willis: yeah thats what the 10 gigs of space that just sitting there is for
[13:51] <xfm> Dr_Willis: Yes, and its often bullshit: you have to install a lot a software in the same time
[13:52] <gordonjcp> here's a daft question - where has "Shutdown" gone in 9.04?
[13:52] <lem_> hey
[13:52] <mercurio27> hola
[13:52] <tgbryano> the code ont hat intel graphics card is 8086:29b2 in case anyone wants to offer advice
[13:52] <Dr_Willis> xfm:  what? you dont want to restore the crippled-demo-ware they include?
[13:52] <mercurio27> alguien me puede ayudar
[13:52] <gordonjcp> oh, it's in the System menu
[13:52] <LadyNikon> Dr_Willis: http://pastebin.com/m3f423121  this is what fdisk made of the ordeal heh
[13:52] <xfm> Dr_Willis: ;)
[13:52] <gordonjcp> why isn't Shutdown in the tooltray red power button icon?
[13:52] <lem_> anyone here tried vmware or parallels to use ubuntu in a vm? what was your host system?
[13:53] <xfm> gordonjcp: You just have to add it! The traybar is fully customisable
[13:53] <jamescarr> sheesh
[13:53] <LadyNikon> gordonjcp: it is
[13:53] <newbie> my son in law has a HP Pavillon.  He installed Ubuntu 8.10, but can't find wifi
[13:53] <speakman> Anyone knows how to debug an nginx configuration?
[13:53] <Baird> ciao a tutti
[13:53] <newbie> what can he do?
[13:53] <jamescarr> my mouse pointer went haywire... is there someway to restart the mouse pointer so I dont have to reboot to fix it?
[13:53] <LadyNikon> gordonjcp: click on the big red X in your systray if you are using the normal ubuntu
[13:53] <jamescarr> it happens once in awhile
[13:53] <thirsteh> lem_: VMWare on Windows, Ubuntu and Gentoo. The only real problem with Ubuntu (and other newer distros) in VMWare is compiling VMWare Tools. It's pretty like to fail
[13:53] <jamescarr> it goes haywire and I have to reboot for my mouse to work normally again
[13:53] <Baird> parlate tutti inglese?
[13:53] <LadyNikon> newbie: does he have the wifi turned on?
[13:54] <xfm> newbie: check if the wifi card is compatible with ubuntu
[13:54] <tgbryano> jaunty and intel 82Q35 Express Integrated Graphics Controller, anyone else having problems with this graphics card, my desktop is barely usable soo slow.  I have followed all the guides i can find including reverting back to the xorg 2.4 driver, upgrading the kernel and various other things and its still slow - to the point im considering dumping jaunty
[13:54] <enzotib> !it | Baird
[13:54] <Dr_Willis> I perfer  Virtualbox to vmware
[13:54] <jamescarr> please?
[13:54] <lem_> newbie, my advice is, if you are a ubuntu beginner, go for the 9.04 release. it's brand new and it's really good.
[13:54] <newbie> how can I find it?
[13:54] <jamescarr> there must be some program to rrun?
[13:54] <thirsteh> lem_: 'likely', even. If it does for you, this should help: http://patrickmylund.com/blog/how-to-install-vmware-tools-on-ubuntu-server-810/
[13:54] <LadyNikon> newbie: check and make sure that the switch is flipped first
[13:54] <Baird> ok grazie enzotib e ubottu
[13:54] <lem_> thirsteh, that means, that data transfer between host and guest system would fail?
[13:54] <newbie> switch?  What switch?
[13:54] <jamescarr> can I restart x from the commandline?
[13:54] <jamescarr> hello?
[13:55] <jamescarr> fine
[13:55] <LadyNikon> jamescarr: be patient someone will answer your question
[13:55] <jamescarr> I'll just reboot
[13:55] <Andrijeski> I installed some extra plugins to firefox, now flash is not working..
[13:55] <spixer> Yo, any can help me install adobe flash so i can watch youtube viedos and so on.. im newb :P
[13:55] <newbie> I tried 9.04 on my desktop, and it doesn't work - had to go back to 8.10
[13:55] <enzotib> jamescarr: x or gdm?
[13:55] <Dr_Willis> jamescarr:  restart the gdm service
[13:55] <thirsteh> lem_: the shared folders wouldn't work, no, but the system would be stable (albeit slow). You should be able to install Open VM Tools, though
[13:55] <Andrijeski> I uninstalled those plugins/addons and reinstalled flash plugin, but it still doesn't work
[13:55] <newbie> xfm, what is the command to see about wifi?
[13:56] <xfm> newbie: iwconfig
[13:56] <newbie> hold on, I'll try that
[13:56] <Andrijeski> spixer , applications->add/remove , search for "flash"
[13:56] <default> does a RAID 0 configuration needs to have 2 harddisks the same size ?
[13:56] <e1luca> @newbie: there myght be a phisical switch on the laptop
[13:56] <LadyNikon> newbie: did you answer me about the switch.. i may have missed it with all the scrolling.
[13:57] <lem_> thirsteh, I was thinking of using a vm for ubuntu on my mac os 10.5. are vm's really slow?
[13:57] <thirsteh> lem_: my disk i/o with hdparm -t went from 5-10mb/s without vmware tools, to 100-130mb/s with it. Pretty noticeable increase in performance :-)
[13:57] <xfm> newbie: try also:   lspci | grep -i net
[13:57] <xfm> and give us the result
[13:57] <lordmetroid> Why doesn't the numpad keys work?
[13:57] <loldma> it worked! thanks a lot Dr_Willis! :)
[13:57] <lem_> thirsteh, so you managed to get the vmware tools installed
[13:57] <StevenTyler> any idea why  this is not working: grep apple .
[13:57] <e1luca> @ newbie: or lspci | grep wlan
[13:57] <thirsteh> lem_: no, VMs on todays machines are fast, but installing tools on VMWare is a must, or it will be slow
[13:57] <lordmetroid> I have num lock on but there is no characters comming when I press any of them keys
[13:57] <thirsteh> lem_: yep
[13:58] <StevenTyler> I know there are many files in the pwd which contains the text "apple"
[13:58] <Bischoop> Hi
[13:58] <StevenTyler> grep "apple" . doesn't help either
[13:58] <lem_> thirsteh, do you use it on a regular basis?
[13:58] <lordmetroid> Hmm, I can control the mouse with the numpad
[13:58] <newbie> iwconfig came back lo no wireless  eho0 no wireless, etc
[13:58] <lordmetroid> Is this what interferes with the normal usages?
[13:59]  * LadyNikon give sup
[13:59] <MQDuck> Another question: How do I determine (at the command-line) my real IP address, rather than my one behind the router?
[13:59] <newbie> I don' know where to look for the switch
[13:59] <LadyNikon> newbie: what model of laptop is it?
[13:59] <muelli> StevenTyler: the syntax for "grep" is "grep $needle $haystack" where $needle is the word you're looking for and $haystack are the *files* you are looking in. But the fullstop, you are providing, is a directory.
[13:59] <LadyNikon> newbie: it should be either on the bottom right, the side, look for the wifi icon
[13:59] <muelli> StevenTyler: if you want to grep through a directory, try grep -r.
[14:00] <gordonjcp> LadyNikon: there isn't a big red X, there's a round red "power button" symbol.  In previous versions of Ubuntu, it had Shutdown
[14:00] <LadyNikon> gordonjcp: you talking about in jaunty? cause i am looking right at it
[14:00] <newbie> HP Pavillon ZD8000
[14:00] <LadyNikon> gordonjcp: sorry its a square red power button.. shutdown is the last option
[14:00] <xfm> newbie: give me the result of "lspci | grep -i net"
[14:01] <thirsteh> lem_: yep, I have a ton of different VMs at work. One for each product configuration (we make many products, but only one or two can be installed on one machine at any one time, hence the VMs
[14:01] <lordmetroid> Ahaa, bug, using the keypad to control the mouse cancels all other functionality!
[14:01] <L3dPlatedLinux> May  3 08:52:54 linuxbox kernel: [  160.805294] gadmin-proftpd[6193]: segfault at 4b ip b794f5c8 sp bfd23cf0 error 4 in libgobject-2.0.so.0.1800.2[b7926000+3c000]    please some one tell me what this means I get it when starting gadmin-proftpd ( i get this in my sys log and nothing popsup for the app?
[14:01] <newbie> lo no wireless, eth0, no wireless, wmaster0 no wireless, wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESID:**
[14:02] <tom17bombadil> i have trouble to install ubuntu due to my tft-screen, i guess. It is complaining something like 'out of reach' or 'no signal' after some booting-part.
[14:02] <Dr_Willis> lordmetroid:  you expect the numpad to do both at the same time?
[14:02] <lem_> thirsteh, so in which way is it slower without the vmware tools? because of the more complicated procedures in case you want to copy files from on os to the other?
[14:02] <Zzeiss> spixer: you there?
[14:02] <bilalakhtar> hello guys i have a problem with printer
[14:02] <bilalakhtar> i hav a hp deskjet 845c printer
[14:02] <bilalakhtar> its quite old
[14:02] <lordmetroid> Yes, if I have num lock on I should be able to use the numpad not as a pseudo-cursor but as a numpad
[14:02] <newbie> xfm, nothing lo, eth0,wmaster
[14:02] <muelli> !enter | bilalakhtar
[14:02] <gordonjcp> LadyNikon: not in mine, then... Where do you enable it?
[14:02] <LadyNikon> newbie: look on the side
[14:03] <Dr_Willis> lordmetroid:  theres a 'accessability' feature of that.
[14:03] <e1luca> @newbie: HP Pavillon ZD8000 has wifi on launch keys
[14:03] <Zzeiss> spixer: the magic (assuming you're on 9.04) is to (with quotes as shown)     sudo apt-get install ".*gnash.*"
[14:03] <tom17bombadil> so far i used parameters like vga=771, noapic,acpi=off,pci=noacpi and nolapic
[14:03] <bilalakhtar> it installs all fine
[14:03] <bilalakhtar> but
[14:03] <bilalakhtar> when it prints it prints them in some other font
[14:03] <bilalakhtar> they look like codes
[14:03] <muelli> Zzeiss, spixer: better use single quotes to properly quote the argument.
[14:03] <spixer> Zzeiss: i have fix it but thanks :)
[14:04] <newbie> I did.  Saw things that look like wifi, but just under, a cnnection
[14:04] <lordmetroid> That is what I am saying, if that acceciblity function is activated I can only use the numpad as a pseudo-cursor and if I turn the numlock on, I can't use the numpad for anything, cursor nor writing
[14:04] <Zzeiss> That brings in gnash (not flash) which as of the 9.04 versions plays all of the YouTube por... er, movies that I've tried.
[14:04] <Uuu> bilalakhtar: sorry, you are quite unreadable, you should write everything in ONE line
[14:04] <tom17bombadil> is there any apropriate parameters for enabling cooperation of this installation-system and my tft-monitor?
[14:04] <Zzeiss> spixer: Oh, sorry.
[14:04] <thirsteh> lem_: it's slower because Ubuntu doesn't 'know' that it's a virtual guest before you install VMWare Tools. When you install it, you effectively install new 'drivers' for the virtual harddrive, ethernet adapter, mouse and keyboard
[14:05] <L3dPlatedLinux> May  3 08:52:54 linuxbox kernel: [  160.805294] gadmin-proftpd[6193]: segfault at 4b ip b794f5c8 sp bfd23cf0 error 4 in libgobject-2.0.so.0.1800.2[b7926000+3c000]    please some one tell me what this means I get it when starting gadmin-proftpd ( i get this in my sys log and nothing popsup for the app?
[14:05] <bilalakhtar> i have a problem with hp deskjet 845c printer. it installs fine but when it prints it prints some codes which look like they are from some other font.
[14:05] <newbie> If I sent you a pic of the thing
[14:05] <lem_> thirsteh, I see, hmm, hopefully I can manage to install the vmware tools on my mac os
[14:05] <Uuu> L3dPlatedLinux: on Linux when an app crashes, you'll not see error message in a dialog box in most cases - for that, you can use Terminal, start the app and look what is displayed.
[14:06] <Darkstriker> hi
[14:06] <thirsteh> lem_: if you can't, check out the article I linked. It's worked on all of my newer Ubuntu guests
[14:06] <e1luca> @ newbie: left of the power button http://www.anunturi.ro/ups/1239353490-193377247.jpg
[14:06] <penthief> L3dPlatedLinux: File a bug with the app.
[14:07] <lem_> thirsteh, thanks, I will use your link. did you install 9.04 by now? the link's description is for 8.10.
[14:07] <newbie> brb
[14:08] <spixer> Anyone can help me, Cant get high sound, i got sound in my speakers but it's low and it's on max.
