[02:12] <oofnik> jtan325, not really.. what are you trying to do
[02:12] <adwait> kl1: no idea......haven't used fluxbox....but u could try #fluxbox
[02:12] <comadreja> HappyFool : how can I install sound properly ?
[02:12] <kl1> oh ok :)
[02:13] <jtan325> i've probably f*cked up my configuration and settings trying to get video to work
[02:13] <jtan325> i'd rather just start over
[02:13] <jtan325> xine-gui will play the sound of a video, but not the video
[02:13] <HappyFool> comadreja: have you tried playing .mp3 files with the 'music player' (aka RhythmBox)
[02:13] <jtan325> mplayer shows a black screen and then seems to freeze
[02:13] <jtan325> and totem just closes when i start i
[02:13] <jtan325> t
[02:13] <jtan325> and i've downloaded every freakin codec
[02:14] <comadreja> HappyFool : trying...
[02:16] <adwait> jtan325: actually, there should be something tht can be done.......this isnt winblows which needs a restart/reinstall without a reason
[02:16] <jtan325> what's that?
[02:16] <oofnik> heh well with linux, if you screw up a new install it is usually easier to just do a reinstall..
[02:16] <Nevado> jtan325, run totem from commandline and see why it is closing
[02:17] <oofnik> winblows = windows
[02:17] <comadreja> HappyFool : nopes, I can't play on RythmBox
[02:17] <jtan325> "the error was "BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)"
[02:18] <Acid`X> does ubuntu comes with xmms?
[02:18] <Nevado> Acid`X, not by default but easy to install
[02:18] <HappyFool> comadreja: did you disable esd (normal sound system, afaik) to get skype working?
[02:18] <jtan325> what the h*ll, i have 512 mb ram and not much open
[02:18] <caz_> new to this distro: can someone help me mount a fat32 hard drive?
[02:18] <Corrosive> yeh probably
[02:18] <comadreja> HappyFool : yes, I deinstalled esd
[02:18] <jtan325> caz_, make an empty directory in /mnt as sudo, that is where you will mount
[02:19] <Acid`X> Nevado: and can i get the mp3 plugin for xmms too? apt-get intall xmms xmms-mp3 ?
[02:19] <caz_> leeme give it a try
[02:19] <HappyFool> comadreja: sorry, can you hang on a second?
[02:19] <jtan325> Nevado, adwait: any ideas? could it have something to do with my video card? i didn't install the nvidia drivers....
[02:19] <comadreja> HappyFool : sure
[02:19] <Corrosive> caz: do you want to make it mount at startup?
[02:19] <oofnik> default mount dir in ubuntu is /media
[02:19] <Seveas> caz_: Download and run http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/files/windows_fstab to make your windows partions mount automatically
[02:19] <Nevado> Acid`X, i think it's xmms-mad
[02:19] <Acid`X> Nevado: mad?
[02:20] <xXpinkyXx> you need gstreamer to play mp3's
[02:20] <xXpinkyXx> in xmms
[02:20] <Nevado> Acid`X, yeah
[02:20] <caz_> great thanks
[02:20] <Seveas> xXpinkyXx, not really...
[02:20] <Seveas> xmms does not use gstreameer
[02:20] <xXpinkyXx> I did..
[02:20] <Nevado> jtan325, not sure... what's the error if you run mplayer from commandline?
[02:20] <xXpinkyXx> ah ok rhythmbox?
[02:20] <Acid`X> xXpinkyXx: gstreamer is another app
[02:20] <xXpinkyXx> is it :s
[02:20] <Seveas> rhythmbox needs gstreamer
[02:20] <Corrosive> does anyone know how to make wma files work in rhythmbox?
[02:20] <Seveas> Acid`X, gstreamer is a library :)
[02:21] <Acid`X> i think so
[02:21] <xXpinkyXx> thats the one
[02:21] <xXpinkyXx> ;p
[02:21] <Acid`X> hehe
[02:21] <Seveas> Corrosive: Go to http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats to find out all about mp3/dvd/flash/java/realplayer etc... support

[02:21] <xXpinkyXx> my mp3's didnt work
[02:21] <Magius> Is there a KDE theme that looks like the default ubunu gnome theme....I like those colors
[02:21] <xXpinkyXx> and now they do
[02:21] <xXpinkyXx> when I installed gstreamer
[02:21] <jtan325> Nevado, there really is no error
[02:21] <Acid`X> and for videos i can get xine right?
[02:21] <Corrosive> ty, i can make them play but not search through them as i dont think it can read the tags or something
[02:21] <Coyctecm> anyone have succeed to compile amule?
[02:21] <Nevado> jtan325, what line does it stop on? :)
[02:21] <jtan325> Nevado, "alsa-init: 1 soundcard found, using: default"
[02:22] <oofnik> coyctecm, there is a package already available, why do you want to compile?
[02:22] <Coyctecm> universe repos offers old version..and I don't want to use backports
[02:22] <Corrosive> coyctecm: why not just get a package
[02:22] <oofnik> oh well whats the error you're getting?
[02:22] <Nevado> jtan325, try using "mplayer -ao oss filename"
[02:22] <HappyFool> comadreja: ok, back. can you start xine-ui, right-click on the window and select 'Settings' from the menu
[02:22] <Nevado> jtan325, you may need to "pkill esd" before running that
[02:22] <Coyctecm> ok I find the package =)
[02:22] <Nevado> jtan325, but that should do the trick
[02:22] <Seveas> Nevado, icky!
[02:23] <Seveas> just mplayer -ao esd
[02:23] <jtan325> Nevado, HOLY CRAP IT WORKED
[02:23] <jtan325> Nevado, so wtf happened?
[02:23] <Seveas> jtan325, you messed  up
[02:23] <Nevado> jtan325, do what Seveas said :)
[02:23] <Seveas> please restart esd by typing: esd &
[02:23] <Seveas> jtan325, and edit /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf
[02:23] <Seveas> there is a line that says: ao=something
[02:24] <Seveas> that line must read: ao=esd
[02:24] <Acid`X> brb
[02:24] <marais> good morning :)
[02:24] <caz_> bbl after i truy a few things thanks seveas and jtan325
[02:24] <xXpinkyXx> morning
[02:24] <oofnik> heh it's afternoon here
[02:24] <comadreja> HappyFool : yep, then ?
[02:25] <Corrosive> i can play wma files in mplayer and stuff, its just that they wont seem to go in the rhythmbox music library
[02:25] <marais> well, here as well but I've just got up from bed ;)
[02:25] <oofnik> haha oh
[02:25] <HappyFool> comadreja: change 'Configuration experience level' to 'Adanced', then click 'Apply'
[02:25] <oofnik> lazy you
[02:25] <Seveas> Corrosive, rhythmbox cannot handle wma afaik
[02:25] <HappyFool> comadreja: then select the 'Audio' tab
[02:25] <Corrosive> k, ty
[02:26] <marais> oofnik, here it's blzing hot at nights
[02:26] <jtan325> Seveas, Nevado: you guys are awesome
[02:26] <comadreja> HappyFool : cool, then ?
[02:26] <xXpinkyXx> when I try apt-get the flash plugin for firefox its says it cant find the package
[02:26] <jtan325> and Seveas , you might have noticed i've been in here alot the past couple days
[02:26] <jtan325> haha
[02:26] <HappyFool> comadreja: then, under 'audio driver to use', select alsa (not sure which will work, but alsa's worth a try)
[02:26] <xXpinkyXx> and ive added the repositreys:(
[02:26] <HappyFool> comadreja: click 'OK' and try to play a dvd
[02:26] <jtan325> Seveas, Nevado, i guess the mplayer ao was defaulting to ALSA, which i don't think i have setup
[02:28] <comadreja> HappyFool : now I can listen to it, but no image
[02:28] <HappyFool> comadreja: err. sorry, i thought video was working
[02:29] <comadreja> HappyFool : nopes, it died before anything could appear
[02:29] <HappyFool> comadreja: hrm
[02:29] <HappyFool> comadreja: and now?
[02:29] <HappyFool> comadreja: it's not crashing?
[02:29] <comadreja> HappyFool : xine does not crash, totem and mplayer syes
[02:30] <HappyFool> comadreja: ok, so xine is playing the audio, not crashing, but not showing an image?
[02:30] <pluffsy> btw. I have two identical firewire disks (or well not identical one is a bit newer and larger, but same type). I tried the ppc live cd (5.04) and one of the disks mounted and the other didn't. I didn't have time to do more tests than. could this be because they are connected in a chain/serial connected/whatever it's called in english? or should ubuntu support that?
[02:30] <comadreja> HappyFool : that's it, and mplayer and totem crash
[02:31] <jtan325> comadreja, HappyFool, I have the same probelm, but it's not just dvd's (i haven't even tried that!!)
[02:32] <J2Dope> i have an external hdd partition to ext3 for ubuntu. can i convert it to ntfs without losing my data?
[02:32] <zyth> J2Dope, how do you intend to 'convert' it to NTFS?
[02:32] <HappyFool> comadreja: ok, and you have installed libdvdcss2 ?
[02:32] <Seveas> pluffsy, what do you mean with chain/serial connected?
[02:32] <cmihai> Breezy looks really unstable atm...
[02:32] <Seveas> Ubuntu should support all USB disks
[02:32] <zyth> cmihai, IT IS.
[02:32] <comadreja> HappyFool : yes
[02:32] <zyth> er it is
[02:32] <HappyFool> comadreja: hrm
[02:32] <zyth> silly capslock
[02:33] <J2Dope> zyth: yes., my pc situation here has changed. im using laptops more and my desktop ubuntu is rarely used
[02:33] <pluffsy> seveas: the first drive is connected to the firewire port on my computer the other one is connected to the first drive.
[02:33] <J2Dope> all the laptops are winxp, and i haven't been able to get samba working
[02:33] <cmihai> I just tried the "test release" ...and it was like full of bugs / problems..
[02:33] <Seveas> pluffsy, hmm firewire, that might still have some issues
[02:33] <cmihai> colony-2 or whatever
[02:33] <Seveas> does the other work if you plug it in directly?
[02:34] <HappyFool> comadreja: let's see if mplayer can tell us what's wrong. try 'mplayer -ao alsa dvd://' at the command-line. what happens?
[02:34] <Seveas> cmihai, then wait for it to stabilize :)
[02:34] <comadreja> HappyFool : crash
[02:34] <jtan325> comadreja, just curious, does your xine work with non-dvd video too?
[02:34] <zyth> J2Dope, no, you don't understand, what do you intend to use to do this conversion? I'm unaware of any convert ext3--->ntfs programs
[02:35] <jtan325> like playing an mpg or avi that's on your hard disk or something?
[02:35] <HappyFool> comadreja: ok, and the text output? does it say anything?
[02:35] <comadreja> HappyFool : MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: decode_audio
[02:35] <comadreja> - MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
[02:35] <HappyFool> comadreja: erk
[02:35] <xXpinkyXx> when I try apt-get the flash plugin for firefox its says it cant find the package
[02:35] <xXpinkyXx> and ive added the repositreys:(
[02:35] <Seveas> comadreja, aptitude purge mplayer and reinstall mplayer
[02:35] <comadreja> jtan325 : I don't have any video on my drive
[02:35] <pluffsy> seveas: I'm not sure. I was very stressed when I tried the cd (was doing recovery work because macosx had died). I'll try again. But it might or might now work with disks connected to each other?
[02:36] <zyth> xXpinkyXx, the package is 'flashplugin-nonfree'
[02:36] <HappyFool> comadreja: try seveas' suggestion
[02:36] <Seveas> pluffsy, it should work, if you can get more info about why it does not work, please file a bug report
[02:36] <pluffsy> seveas: I'll do that. thanks.
[02:37] <J2Dope> ok thank zyth
[02:37] <comadreja> HappyFool : 386 or 586 ? it is a centrino
[02:37] <HappyFool> comadreja: um. 386 ought to work
[02:37] <zyth> comadreja, mplayer-custom is always good if you have build-essential installed.
[02:38] <comadreja> HappyFool : crash
[02:38] <HappyFool> bother
[02:38] <zyth> I used to have that same issue in hoary...
[02:38] <zyth> it was my soundcard.
[02:38] <jtan325> HappyFool, might you have any ideas on how to debug my situation?
[02:38] <jtan325> it runs fine in mplayer
[02:38] <zyth> comadreja, you don't have a c-media sound chip by chance do you?
[02:38] <jtan325> in xine, it only plays the sound, there is just a blue screen for the video instead
[02:38] <comadreja> zyth : no clue
[02:39] <zyth> comadreja, lspci is your friend :)
[02:39] <comadreja> zyth : mplayer-custom has some broken depends
[02:39] <zyth> or 'device manager'
[02:39] <comadreja> AC'97
[02:39] <gm78> comadreja: post the complete output of lspci
[02:39] <xXpinkyXx> ive just installed limewire but it wont launch :(
[02:39] <HappyFool> not here ;)
[02:39] <gm78> comadreja: AC97 is only the chipset
[02:39] <zyth> to paste.ubuntulinux.nl
[02:39] <zyth> !!
[02:39] <ubotu> zyth: I don't know, could you explain it?
[02:39] <gm78> comadreja: lol, what zyth said
[02:40] <comadreja> 0000:00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03)
[02:40] <HappyFool> jtan325: well, if mplayer works, why not just use that ?
[02:40] <zyth> ahh.
[02:40] <jtan325> HappyFool, because mplayer doesn't allow resizing
[02:40] <zyth> comadreja, is this onboard or notebook?
[02:40] <gm78> comadreja: weird....ive never had problems with intel chips and linux
[02:40] <gorehawg> hello...
[02:40] <comadreja> notebook
[02:40] <zyth> yeah
[02:40] <zyth> ok, my suggestion is, setup alsa and dmix
[02:40] <comadreja> hp pavilion dv1250ea
[02:40] <zyth> OR
[02:40] <gorehawg> how can I change the gnome splash screen? I changed the login screen but the loading screen is still default
[02:40] <zyth> use esd for everything
[02:41] <HappyFool> zyth: he wants to use skype also
[02:41] <zyth> you're having mixer issues
[02:41] <zyth> HappyFool, I don't know the first thing about that.
[02:41] <comadreja> can't I use alsa for everything ?
[02:41] <Seveas> gorehawg: To change the Ubuntu splash screen, open the gconf-editor and change the key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash-image
[02:41] <HappyFool> zyth: me either ;) but i think there might be an esd / skype clash
[02:41] <olorin> hello, is there any way to define a permanent xauth MIT_MAGIC_COOKIE in Ubuntu ?
[02:41] <zyth> but your chip isn't doing hardware mixing (it can't), so you need to setup software mixing
[02:41] <Magius> Is there a KDE theme that looks like the default ubuntu gnome theme....I like those colors
[02:42] <Seveas> HappyFool, esddsp can wrap esd for skypr...
[02:42] <comadreja> Seveas : doesn't work
[02:42] <xXpinkyXx> ive just installed limewire but it wont launch :(
[02:42] <zyth> comadreja, I don't see why you can't use alsa+dmix for all of it, but I don't use skype.
[02:42] <comadreja> what do I have to do to use alsa+dmix for everything ?
[02:42] <jtan325> holy crap, you CAN resize in mplayer!
[02:43] <zyth> jtan325, uhhh..yeah...
[02:43] <zyth> comadreja, 1sec
[02:43] <comadreja> I think this lacks codecs or libraries or something
[02:43] <jtan325> haha wow this has been quite a circus for me
[02:43] <jtan325> figuring out how to play my anime, oh boy
[02:43] <comadreja> jtan325 : what was it ?
[02:44] <zyth> comadreja, try this: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=44753&highlight=dmix
[02:44] <zyth> comadreja, install w32codecs if you lack codecs.
[02:44] <jtan325> comadreja, i am using mplayer. basically, install every freakin codec out there (download them off the mplayer website too)
[02:45] <zyth> comadreja, that, or http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=32063&highlight=dmix
[02:45] <Ferry> is there way to stop ubuntu from loading the ipaq module when i connect my pda?
[02:46] <jtan325> comadreja, after that, make sure your options for -ao in /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf match up with what you had. in my case, i didn't have ALSA, so it was failing there (thanks to Nevado and Seveas) for this
[02:46] <xXpinkyXx> sorry what was the location for the flash firefox plug in my compyter just restarted it self
[02:47] <xXpinkyXx> *computer
[02:47] <comadreja> be back after all this
[02:47] <zyth> xXpinkyXx, flashplugin-nonfree
[02:47] <zyth> comadreja, I recommend the 2nd link
[02:47] <xXpinkyXx> yeah thats the one sorry
[02:47] <jtan325> how do i modify the options for something in the "applications" menu"
[02:48] <jtan325> i.e. i want mplayer to launch with certain options from now on
[02:48] <xXpinkyXx> couldnt be found
[02:48] <xXpinkyXx> :(
[02:48] <djp> does anyobdy know what packages are needed to convert .avi files to theora using hoary? i have tried asking over at #theora, but it appears to be a pretty quiet chatroom!
[02:48] <zyth> ffmpeg I think?
[02:49] <zyth> xXpinkyXx, then you haven't added the right repositories.
[02:49] <xXpinkyXx> everythign else has worked though :s
[02:49] <Seveas> jtan325, edit /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf for that
[02:49] <xXpinkyXx> what other repositories do I need
[02:50] <jtan325> Seveas, yeah i did that
[02:50] <jtan325> Seveas, but i was just wondering in general
[02:50] <jtan325> or is editing each app
[02:50] <zyth> xXpinkyXx, universe and multiverse, I expect
[02:50] <jtan325> app's conf. files the only way?
[02:50] <zyth> !restricted
[02:50] <ubotu> hmm... restricted is http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RestrictedFormats
[02:50] <zyth> goto that url xXpinkyXx
[02:52] <xXpinkyXx> ok
[02:53] <djp> do you require ffmpeg/ffmpeg-gstreamer plugins in order to view .avi files?
[02:54] <Seveas> jtan325, you can use smeg to edit menu entries
[02:54] <anatole> anyone knows a good bath image processor tool with gui? (for resizing and recompressing the jpegs)
[02:54] <xXpinkyXx> hmm
[02:54] <Seveas> anatole, mogrify
[02:54] <Seveas> part of imagemagick
[02:54] <anatole> thnks
[02:54] <Seveas> oh, WITH gui...
[02:54] <Seveas> mogrify is without...
[02:55] <jtan325> Seveas, thanks
[02:55] <nameless1> im looking at ubuntuguide.org and alot of the stuff that it claims ubuntu comes with , just did not come with my distro. Am i missing something ??
[02:55] <xoz> jtan325: or alias mplayer='mplayer <options> '
[02:55] <penguin42> anatole: Can't you just use gimp?
[02:55] <penguin42> nameless1: Can you give us an example?
[02:55] <jtan325> xoz good idea
[02:56] <nameless1> it says to type sudo apt-get install azureus .... but azureus doesnt come with ubuntu
[02:56] <anatole> can gimp edit multiple images?
[02:56] <nameless1> lots of things like that...
[02:56] <Poromies> nameless1: add the extra repos and dl/install all you need :)
[02:56] <penguin42> anacron: Hmm if it can't then look at cinepaint
[02:56] <anatole> ok, thanks
[02:56] <nameless1> aahh i c :)
[02:56] <nameless1> thanx
[02:57] <comadreja> HappyFool : now I have no sound
[02:57] <Seveas> nameless1, ubuntuguide sucks
[02:57] <nameless1> whats a better place then?
[02:57] <Poromies> nameless1: they dont actualy "come with the CD", but they are programs available to ubuntu users in the ubuntu repositories and thus "they come with ubuntu"
[02:57] <Seveas> nameless1, wiki.ubuntu.com :)
[02:57] <gorilla_> nameless1, the ubuntu wiki :-)
[02:57] <HappyFool> comadreja: but you have an image?
[02:57] <penguin42> Poromies: That particular one doesn't seem to be in universal
[02:58] <nameless1> yup thanx
[02:58] <comadreja> HappyFool : neither ! :D
[02:58] <HappyFool> comadreja: what have you changed?
[02:58] <gorilla_> Seveas, perhasp something about ubuntuguide.org should be in the channel topic :-)
[02:58] <comadreja> HappyFool : I followed zyth links
[02:59] <comadreja> but RythmBox sounds
[02:59] <HappyFool> comadreja: ah
[02:59] <HappyFool> comadreja: ok, lets just switch xine to use esd then
[03:00] <HappyFool> comadreja: start xine, right click, settings, audio, choose 'esd' ('auto' might work too)
[03:00] <comadreja> HappyFool : yes, it sounds
[03:00] <HappyFool> comadreja: ok
[03:00] <comadreja> HappyFool : but I get a blue image
[03:01] <comadreja> HappyFool : and totem and mplayer crash
[03:01] <HappyFool> comadreja: let's try this too: 'xine --verbose dvd://'  (on the command line)
[03:01] <comadreja> HappyFool : can I give you kind of vnc access to the computer ?
[03:01] <HappyFool> comadreja: i have dial-up ;) it probably wouldn't be worth it
[03:02] <comadreja> HappyFool : very verbose
[03:02] <xXpinkyXx> still cant flashplugin-nonfree
[03:02] <xXpinkyXx> and ive done the universe thing i synaptic
[03:02] <cmihai> Just a though, .. what would Ubuntu have to offer that Debian does not?! Apart from XOrg and a frienly comunity ?
[03:02] <HappyFool> comadreja: can you cut-and-paste to paste.ubuntulinux.nl ?
[03:02] <comadreja> HappyFool : all ?
[03:02] <HappyFool> xXpinkyXx: what sort of system do you have? ppc, amd64 ?
[03:03] <comadreja> HappyFool : and why are you interested in the only one that does not crash ? :D

[03:03] <penguin42> cmihai: A defined release timescale
[03:03] <HappyFool> comadreja: as much as you think sensible. the more the better.
[03:03] <HappyFool> comadreja: cos if we can get xine to work, why bother with mplayer and totem ?
[03:05] <HappyFool> comadreja: if you're having troubles cut-and-pasting, i think seveas has a little script to upload files to the pastebin
[03:05] <comadreja> http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/381
[03:06] <anatole> i have no clue where to search batch image editing in gimp or cinepaint
[03:06] <anatole> penguin42: do you use it?
[03:07] <Seveas> HappyFool, it's linked from the pastebin site
[03:07] <HappyFool> Seveas: thanks. I think he got it all anyway
[03:07] <marais> ehem
[03:07] <Seveas> I use it all the time ;)
[03:07] <marais> i'm trying to install ubuntu hoary with double start
[03:07] <marais> and I'm hving terrible problems:(
[03:08] <xXpinkyXx> :'(
[03:08] <marais> someone can help me in the part of formatting the partition?
[03:08] <xXpinkyXx> *loads up frozen bubble :D*
[03:09] <HappyFool> comadreja: hrm
[03:09] <HappyFool> comadreja: looks like xine thinks it's working
[03:09] <penguin42> anatole: No, I haven't used cinepaint - I just no that it was a branch of gimp designed for film processing
[03:10] <anatole> i see
[03:10] <HappyFool> comadreja: i'm going to go find a dvd to test on my system. stand by
[03:10] <J2Dope> hi. with SSH, im logging into ubuntu from winxp.. can i copy files off ubuntu to windows with this ssh?
[03:10] <penguin42> xXpinkyXx: Well that's you taken care of for an hour
[03:10] <comadreja> HappyFool : thanks :)
[03:10] <penguin42> J2Dope: You need a program called scp - that often comes packages with ssh
[03:11] <J2Dope> thanks penguin42
[03:11] <J2Dope> putty should have it ya?
[03:11] <comadreja> J2Dope is psftp IIRC
[03:11] <J2Dope> pardon comadreja
[03:11] <penguin42> J2Dope: I can't remember but if it doesn't i'm fairly sure there is an scp from the same place
[03:12] <Seveas> penguin42, psftp = putty sftp :)
[03:12] <comadreja> Seveas : you're right, sorry
[03:12] <penguin42> ah
[03:13] <Acid`X> back
[03:13] <J2Dope> thanks guys
[03:13] <Acid`X> so, gstreamer is a library?
[03:13] <J2Dope> getting it now. having such problems with this external hdd being ext3
[03:13] <Heimdall> re
[03:13] <penguin42> J2Dope: I think there is a thing for Windows to access ext3 discs
[03:13] <HappyFool> comadreja: gah. everyone here is taking afternoon naps, i can't find any dvds
[03:14] <J2Dope> penguin42: got it's name?
[03:14] <comadreja> HappyFool : no prob, why could the others be failing ?
[03:14] <penguin42> J2Dope: No - sorry
[03:14] <J2Dope> cos the sooner i can backup this stuff the better
[03:14] <J2Dope> ok no worries
[03:14] <HappyFool> comadreja: well, we could try asking mplayer to esd
[03:15] <HappyFool> comadreja: 'mplayer -ao esd dvd://'
[03:15] <comadreja> HappyFool : works fine :)
[03:15] <HappyFool> comadreja: with video?
[03:15] <comadreja> HappyFool : video, no sound :D
[03:15] <HappyFool> *aaargh*
[03:16] <comadreja> HappyFool : I could start a xine and a mplayer at the same time ! :D
[03:16] <HappyFool> ok, let's pipe the mplayer output to a file. 'mplayer -ao esd dvd:// >& mplayer.out'
[03:17] <HappyFool> then kill mplayer, and take a look at that file for any obvious audio error messages
[03:17] <comadreja> it says:
[03:17] <comadreja> The selected video_out device is incompatible with this codec.
[03:17] <comadreja> [AO ESD]  esd_open_sound failed: No such file or directory
[03:17] <comadreja> Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound.
[03:17] <HappyFool> hrm
[03:17] <penguin42> J2Dope: Try this http://freshmeat.net/projects/ext2ifs/
[03:17] <HappyFool> is esd running ?
[03:17] <HappyFool> try esd&
[03:18] <HappyFool> then run mplayer again
[03:18] <HappyFool> oh, you uninstalled esd... hrm
[03:18] <comadreja> crash
[03:18] <comadreja> I installed it again
[03:18] <comadreja> there is an audio decoding problem
[03:18] <HappyFool> ah
[03:19] <HappyFool> does it say what it is?
[03:19] <comadreja> it makes both mplayer and totem crash
[03:19] <HappyFool> or just the same signal 11 as before?
[03:19] <comadreja> sorry, I'll paste 7 lines
[03:19] <comadreja> MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: decode_audio
[03:19] <comadreja> - MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
[03:19] <comadreja>   Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
[03:19] <comadreja>   disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.
[03:19] <comadreja> - MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
[03:19] <comadreja>   It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
[03:19] <marais> someone can help me in the part of formatting the partition?
[03:20] <comadreja>   gcc version.
[03:20] <marais> I know I've already asked..
[03:20] <penguin42> marais: How do you want to format it?
[03:20] <marais> I want to keep the double start
[03:20] <penguin42> the what?
[03:20] <HappyFool> comadreja: does the same thing happen when using mplayer to play an mp3? e.g. 'mplayer -ao esd filename.mp3' ?
[03:20] <marais> to have windoze and linux in the same machine
[03:21] <marais> I've got three partitions
[03:21] <marais> 1 per windoze other for linux and other swap
[03:21] <HappyFool> comadreja: i see this on RestrictedFormats: 'If you are getting sound but no video with some mpgs, you probably need the ffmpeg libraries'
[03:21] <comadreja> HappyFool : nopes, works fine
[03:21] <HappyFool> comadreja: have you installed gstreamer0.8-ffmpeg ?
[03:22] <HappyFool> comadreja: hrm. very odd
[03:22] <penguin42> marais: OK so if windows is happily running in one then just install Linux in the other one and let the installer install GRUB for you
[03:22] <marais> ecco :)
[03:22] <marais> but I seems to do something wrong
[03:22] <penguin42> marais: Like what
[03:23] <marais> like that i don't do in the right way the partitoion of linux
[03:23] <comadreja> checking
[03:23] <penguin42> marais: Do you get an error - or what?
[03:23] <comadreja> HMPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: decode_audio

[03:23] <comadreja>   It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
[03:23] <comadreja> oops
[03:23] <comadreja> touchpad
[03:23] <marais> in the sense that I don't get the grub
[03:23] <comadreja> sorry. HappyFool : nopes, it wasn't installed
[03:23] <HappyFool> comadreja: ok, install it and try xine again
[03:23] <penguin42> marais: How do you mean you 'don't get the grub' - does it install it and when you reboot you get something else or don't you get that far?
[03:24] <HappyFool> comadreja: maybe it's a simple mpeg2 video thing
[03:24] <narkceh> hello. my ipod device /dev/sda2 dissapeared how to get it back?
[03:24] <marais> I think I don't do right the partition atributes
[03:24] <sensayshun> I'm trying to copy something to a floppy. But it says I do not have permission. How would I do it through the terminal?
[03:24] <comadreja> HappyFool : samething, blue screen
[03:24] <HappyFool> comadreja: *sob*
[03:25] <penguin42> marais: What makes you think you don't have the right partition attributes?
[03:25] <comadreja> sorry :(
[03:25] <xXpinkyXx> why wont limewire load :@
[03:25] <HappyFool> comadreja: heh. not your fault ;)
[03:25] <xXpinkyXx> fuckign ubuntu :(
[03:25] <xXpinkyXx> grrrrrr
[03:25] <marais> because the grub didn't appear so I cannot reach the windows partition
[03:25] <yccheok> anyone had ever play openttd in ubuntu?
[03:25] <penguin42> marais: OK - look you need to tell us *EXACTLY* what is happening not what you think is wrong
[03:26] <marais> I need to configurate thye linux partition
[03:26] <penguin42> marais: So, when you boot your machine what do you see?
[03:26] <marais> just linux
[03:26] <shinu> any reason i couldnt ls a folder that belongs to me?
[03:26] <marais> the mounting point must be / o nothing?
[03:26] <shinu> i have read and execute attributs to them
[03:27] <penguin42> shinu: you can remove permissions so even you can't read your own folder
[03:27] <penguin42> oh
[03:27] <sensayshun> How do I change permissions when it won't let me?
[03:27] <penguin42> shinu: What does ls -ld   of the folder show?
[03:27] <shinu> er...
[03:27] <shinu> wait
[03:27] <HappyFool> comadreja: can you maybe tell me how you installed mplayer / xine etc. ? using ubuntuguide instructions?
[03:28] <shinu> penguin42: thanks for poiting out...
[03:28] <johntramp> yccheok, is openttd any good?  have you tried it?
[03:28] <shinu> i looked at the wrong thing...
[03:28] <neul> say, what is that second toolbar i've been seeing on Linux desktops... the one with the big icons?
[03:28] <shinu> sorry
[03:28] <penguin42> neul: Where about? Top or bottom - what type of icons?
[03:29] <comadreja> HappyFool : I nstalled the base system
[03:29] <comadreja> then I added : universe and multiverse
[03:29] <neul> bottom center... a kind of "most requently used" deal
[03:29] <comadreja> and mirrormax
[03:29] <johntramp> neul, in gnome?  you may be seeing a KDE desktop
[03:29] <comadreja> backports
[03:29] <neul> KDE
[03:29] <comadreja> and java
[03:30] <comadreja> installed all, with their dependencies
[03:30] <HappyFool> comadreja: hmm. i wonder what mplayer version you have
[03:30] <neul> is it a Karambe theme or something?
[03:30] <comadreja> MPlayer 1.0pre6-3.3.5 (C) 2000-2004 MPlayer Team
[03:30] <neul> -e+a
[03:30] <johntramp> neul, do you have a link to it
[03:30] <sensayshun> How do I change permissions to my floppy drive?
[03:30] <penguin42> neul: Hmm I can't really think what you are thinking of - I have a panel setup accross the bottom with icons for each of the apps I use a lot in - and you can make that as tall as you like
[03:30] <narkceh> my ipod device /dev/sda2 dissapeared, how to get it back?
[03:30] <HappyFool> comadreja: what does 'dpkg -s mplayer-386|grep Version' say?
[03:31] <neul> penguin-- how do you activate that
[03:31] <yccheok> johntramp: i still figure out how to install :(
[03:31] <ezequiel> hi ppl
[03:31] <ezequiel> isn't there any qt4 build for ubuntu?
[03:31] <comadreja> Version: 1:1.0-pre6-0.3ubuntu6
[03:31] <penguin42> neul: What have you got at the moment? One panel at the top?
[03:31] <neul> duh yep
[03:32] <yccheok> johntramp: i try to install via deb from the original site. i get the error  openttd depends on libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-21); however:
[03:32] <yccheok>   Version of libc6 on system is 2.3.2.ds1-20ubuntu13.
[03:32] <HappyFool> comadreja: ok, same as mine
[03:32] <narkceh> any idea how to get ipod work
[03:32] <penguin42> neul: So right click on it and get the menu and there is an option for 'new panel' choose that and select one at the bottom - make it as big as you like and then add apps, clocks etc to it
[03:32] <HappyFool> ezequiel: qt4 was just released, wasn't it? i doubt there'll be an 'official' qt4 for hoary
[03:32] <neul> oh simple... that's probly what i been seeing
[03:32] <comadreja> HappyFool : damn, this error is stupid
[03:33] <[koji] > where can I find a log of apt installed programs?
[03:33] <comadreja> [koji]  dpkg -l
[03:33] <HappyFool> comadreja: well, if it makes you feel better, mplayer crashes with DVDs on my machine too, after a few minutes. I have no idea why
[03:33] <comadreja> HappyFool : actually it doesn't make me feel better... :)
[03:34] <HappyFool> heh
[03:34] <comadreja> I've been playing dvds in debian for a lot of time
[03:34] <comadreja> and this seems just too hard
[03:34] <HappyFool> yeah
[03:34] <HappyFool> i get the idea the sound subsystem is not .. err. ideal
[03:34] <narkceh> nope it seems like nobody knows
[03:34] <comadreja> maybe if I compile mplayer ?
[03:35] <HappyFool> it's worth a shot
[03:35] <comadreja> let's try
[03:36] <marais> penguin42, really scuse me but I'm stuck :(
[03:37] <[koji] > comadreja: I like to see the list sorted by installed date, is there a way?
[03:38] <penguin42> marais: I suggest you find a local Linux User Group who can looka t your machine
[03:38] <marais> thanks but if I had it I would not have been here :)
[03:38] <lsuactiafner> ummm
[03:39] <lsuactiafner> marais : apt-get build-dep mplayer
[03:39] <marais> ein?? lsuactiafner
[03:39] <lsuactiafner> and compile latest mplayer cvs yourself
[03:39] <lsuactiafner> ?
[03:39] <marais> I'm just trying to install ubuntu!!
[03:39] <lsuactiafner> oh
[03:39] <lsuactiafner> eh
[03:39] <marais> in this moment trying to define partitions
[03:39] <lsuactiafner> whats the problem?
[03:39] <lsuactiafner> lol
[03:40] <lsuactiafner> ah comadreja has mplayer problem
[03:40] <marais> I don't know which atributes must have each one
[03:40] <lsuactiafner> nm
[03:40] <Acid`X> anyone knows where can i find any macromedia flash plugin for x86_64?
[03:40] <lsuactiafner> you need a 1G swap and linux native
[03:40] <HappyFool> Acid`X: i don't think there is one. sorry, were you asking about this earlier under a different nick?
[03:40] <marais> I've got them
[03:40] <lsuactiafner> 82 and 83 i think
[03:41] <Acid`X> HappyFool: nop, but just wanna know if there is any pre-release
[03:42] <djp> can anybody tell me why theora playback using totem-gstreamer is jerky? avi files are fine.
[03:45] <drx> Hi, is it possible to add a script or something into a Makefile.am that will list all .cpp and .h files into the prog_SOURCES variable instead of having to type them in all by hand ?
[03:46] <HappyFool> drx: this is more-or-less a basic user support channel. Have you tried asking in dev channels these autoconf/automake questions?
[03:47] <drx> no i haven't, i will do that :)
[03:49] <AlexBO> Hello! I've a problem with SANE. I've got a Parallel Port Scanner (UMAX Astra 1220P), so i've installed sane <IP_ADDRESS> . In the root terminal I've written "umax_pp -p - t 1" to check if the scanner was alive, as the web instruction said, but the terminal said "command not found". Can anybody help me?
[03:50] <kyle_> hello all im new to this chat
[03:50] <kyle_> so can u teach me?
[03:50] <penguin42> kyle_: speak normally and in a clear voice
[03:50] <kyle_> huh?
[03:51] <comadreja> HappyFool : ok, recompiling mplayer and using oss as audio, works
[03:51] <Nevado> what do you want to be taught? :\
[03:51] <HappyFool> comadreja: video *and* audio, simultaneously?
[03:52] <kyle_> well how do i get heaps of programs for linux\ubuntu
[03:52] <AlexBO> I've searched for more of one hour in the web, but I've not find anythings.
[03:52] <kyle_> k
[03:52] <HappyFool> AlexBO: sorry, looks like there are no sane users on at the moment. maybe ask again later
[03:52] <comadreja> HappyFool : yep
[03:52] <kyle_> ubuntu is a good os ay?
[03:52] <Nevado> kyle_, open synaptic and look through the packages... depends what you're looking for!
[03:52] <penguin42> AlexBO: parallel port scanners are evil magic
[03:52] <HappyFool> comadreja: at last!
[03:53] <kyle_> synaptic?
[03:53] <Nevado> system -> administration -> synaptic
[03:53] <comadreja> HappyFool : but still makes me wonder why the others fail
[03:53] <kyle_> ok
[03:53] <AlexBO> penguin42, what is "evil magic"?
[03:53] <comadreja> HappyFool : how do I make mplayer fullscreen with resize ?
[03:53] <penguin42> AlexBO: Well, normally pretty hard to get to work reliably
[03:53] <uchinan> trying to install gaim and seeing "checking for dot... false"
[03:53] <uchinan> does anyone know what "dot" is?
[03:53] <HappyFool> comadreja: erm. 'man mplayer' ?
[03:54] <AlexBO> I agree with you! :-)
[03:54] <Nevado> comadreja, mplayer -vo xv
[03:54] <kyle_> how do i use mp3s on linux?
[03:54] <HappyFool> uchinan: well, there's a dot which draws graphs (ala computer science: nodes and edges)
[03:54] <comadreja> thanks :)
[03:54] <penguin42> HappyFool: Yeh but I can't see why GAIM would use that?!
[03:55] <Nevado> comadreja, change it in /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf is best
[03:55] <uchinan> HappyFool: I am new to ubuntu (today)...  is this not in the package directory?   In the cd /tools of the downloaded packages there is the file "umax_pp.c". How I can transform it to a command?
[03:57] <uchinan> ubuntu backports?
[03:57] <Nevado> uchinan, http://backports.ubuntuforums.org/
[03:57] <penguin42> AlexBO: Which package is it that is part of?
[03:57] <HappyFool> AlexBO: you need to compile the program. There should be a 'INSTALL' or 'README' file telling you how to install the software
[03:58] <HappyFool> AlexBO: also note that sane 1.0.13 is available via ubuntu; you're sure you need 1.0.14 ?
[03:59] <AlexBO> HappyFool: in the readme file there aren't instructions to install it. There is the file "Makefile.in" , but i don't know how to work with "*.in" files
[03:59] <nameless1> i tried suse9.3 before but noticed "slow downs" when using azureus that i didnt get in other distros. Does anyone know if suse is slow, or if i just did a bad instalation beucase ubuntu isnt goin 2 good for me right now and im thinking of goin to suse
[03:59] <HappyFool> AlexBO: probably './configure'
[03:59] <twilight> hello, I've a problem during the upgrade. This is the log:http://phpfi.com/68127 anyone can see it? thanks in advance
[03:59] <AlexBO> penguin42: i've download the packages from the SANE site
[03:59] <HappyFool> AlexBO: however, i recommend using the ubuntu package rather than installing it yourself
[04:00] <penguin42> AlexBO: Oh - why? Ubuntu has sane, and it seems to have the umax_pp driver in
[04:00] <AlexBO> HappyFool: okey, where i can find it? on synaptic?
[04:00] <HappyFool> AlexBO: yip
[04:00] <twilight> I've tried the "--force-overwrite" option, but with no result
[04:00] <HappyFool> AlexBO: in the 'universe' repository -- you may need to enable that
[04:00] <anouar> nope
[04:00] <anouar> :d
[04:01] <klaym> how can I change the default mediaplayer (from totem to gxine) ?
[04:01] <AlexBO> HappyFool: how can i enabled it?
[04:02] <HappyFool> !repositories
[04:02] <ubotu> repositories is, like, http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/AddingRepositoriesHowto
[04:02] <HappyFool> AlexBO: go to that url
[04:02] <HappyFool> AlexBO: should tell you how
[04:02] <AlexBO> penguin42: i've tried to start X-Sane, but it doen't find a scanner
[04:02] <phaedrus_> hi...
[04:02] <phaedrus_> wopuld someone send me their   fstab  file?
[04:03] <penguin42> AlexBO: Which Umax model did you say it was?
[04:03] <e0f> i've got a sb digital platinum 2, but my ubuntu don't detect it, in what mode i setup it?
[04:04] <AlexBO> penguin42: UMAX Astra Scanner 1220P
[04:04] <comadreja> where do I get libavcodec2 ? ... needed for mplayer-custom
[04:04] <penguin42> AlexBO: Hmm right, that should work - ok, it might be a permission thing, it definitely says oyu might need to be root to get to the parallel port
[04:05] <comadreja> btw HappyFool : how do I report the mplayer bug ?
[04:05] <AlexBO> i've done all on root terminal
[04:05] <uchinan> HappyFool thx...  added the two lines in my sources.list file and now my update manager is having fun
[04:08] <penguin42> AlexBo: So what about something like scanimage -d umax_pp:/dev/parport0
[04:08] <AlexBO> penguin42: [umax_pp_low]  sanei_umax_pp_InitPort cannot use direct hardware access
[04:08] <AlexBO> [umax_pp_low]  if not compiled with --enable-parport-directio
[04:08] <AlexBO> scanimage: open of device umax_pp:/dev/parport0 failed: Invalid argument
[04:09] <e0f> i've got a sb digital platinum 2, but my ubuntu don't detect it, in what mode i setup it?
[04:09] <penguin42> AlexBO: Do you have a /dev/parport0 ?
[04:09] <Nevado> e0f, is it listed in the output of "lspci"?
[04:10] <AlexBO> penguin42: how i can see it?
[04:10] <jsimmons> ya know, i've heard a lot about how bitttorent is so good, but if it's really gonna take four days to download the dvd iso, then I think it pretty much sucks...
[04:10] <penguin42> AlexBO: ls -l /dev/parport0
[04:10] <Nevado> jsimmons, how long has it been downloading?
[04:10] <AlexBO> penguin42: no such files or directories
[04:10] <jsimmons> 3 minutes and i have 1.7mb so far
[04:11] <penguin42> AlexBO: Hmm - neither do I - I wonder how we educate ubuntu about parallel ports?
[04:11] <gorilla_> jsimmons, that depends.. it can get better as you bt client find other chunks for the same file.
[04:11] <Nevado> jsimmons, torrents get faster over time usually, as your client connects to more folks etc
[04:11] <adwait> hello all.....i have DSL 502T D Link ADSL router........well the firmware seems to like on IE, so can't really confiure it in linux.........i couldn't be bothered starting windows everytime, any ideas?
[04:11] <AlexBO> penguin42: well, i don't know...
[04:11] <jsimmons> it took less than 15 minutes to download the install-only iso
[04:12] <jsimmons> (wasn't using bt for that download)
[04:12] <adwait> jsimmons: wow......15 minutes???? how fast is ur connection
[04:12] <penguin42> AlexBO: Hmm - let me have a dig - unless anyone else knows the magic?
[04:12] <jsimmons> i actually don't know - haven't ever checed
[04:12] <jsimmons> checked
[04:12] <rjshade> jsimmons: if your connection is fast enough to download the install iso in 15 minutes, then why not just download the dvd-iso in the same way?
[04:12] <AlexBO> the magic? I think anybody know it
[04:13] <jsimmons> bt has eveidently found another chunk - it's down to 2 days
[04:13] <adwait> should be abt 6-7 Mbit/s
[04:13] <penguin42> AlexBO: I think the first thing is to get Ubuntu to see parallel por t- until then you aren't going to get very far :-)
[04:13] <adwait> anybody care to venture a solution for my problem?
[04:13] <jsimmons> because the mirror allows via bt only and i couldn't find a place that would allow a straight download
[04:13] <rjshade> ah
[04:14] <AlexBO> penguin42: okey, how i can make it?
[04:14] <jsimmons> down to 1 day, 19 hours
[04:19] <penguin42> Bah
[04:22] <kanamor> hola
[04:22] <HrdwrBoB> hey
[04:23] <kanamor> anyone speak spanish here?
[04:23] <HrdwrBoB> not me
[04:23] <jsimmons> nada
[04:23] <kanamor> oki, littleenglish
[04:23] <kanamor> heheh

[04:23] <jsimmons> Kubuntu DVD iso - 23 days...
[04:24] <jsimmons> hell, they'll release Breezy before that's done
[04:24] <kanamor> i cant speak, and i have intall all alsa driver
[04:24] <kanamor> oki, nice comadreja
[04:25] <eno> my cursors all turned black?  what do I do now?
[04:25] <jsimmons> i'm not impressed with bt at all as far as speed goes
[04:25] <mdke> hi there. I'm upgrading to breezy and I need to force the installation of libx11-6. Can someone tell me how to do this?
[04:25] <geesus> Hey all, in Evolution is it easy to seperate mail accounts without filters? EG having an inbox\sent items\drafts for every account instead of a shared one like it is by default?
[04:26] <jsimmons> i know that thunderbird allows this, but I unsinstalled evolution
[04:26] <geesus> yer I do it with thunderbird at work, but I wanna start using the calendar and all that jizz as well :D
[04:27] <jsimmons> doesn't mozilla make a calendar app?
[04:27] <jsimmons> (i don't know for sure)
[04:27] <mdke> jsimmons, yes but afaik it doesn't integrate with gnome like evolution's calendar
[04:27] <geesus> sunbird
[04:27] <jsimmons> ahhh
[04:27] <geesus> its very... unstable
[04:27] <mdke> anyone help on my breezy upgrade? question is above
[04:28] <geesus> Intergration is my goal
[04:28] <jsimmons> finally, the progress bar for the dvd iso is at 1%
[04:28] <penguin42> jsmi/me wonders why having modprobe'd parport, parport_pc and lp there isn't a parport char device and thus no /dev/parport0
[04:29] <allabulle> hi
[04:29] <arenner> Where is the XF86Config file located?
[04:29] <penguin42> nor is there a device shown in /proc/devices
[04:29] <HappyFool> arenner: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:29] <penguin42> arenner:  /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:30] <penguin42> its xorg not XFree
[04:30] <arenner> thanks guys
[04:30] <arenner> haven
[04:30] <HappyFool> penguin42: is it not maybe /dev/lp0 ?
[04:30] <goldfish> it's xfree if it's warty
[04:30] <arenner> havent edited one of these since I used xfree86
[04:30] <Evans> hello all
[04:31] <penguin42> HappyFool: Well I don't seem to have that either, but lp is built on parport as I understand it - and the raw devices (/.dev) has a /dev/parport0 that references major device 99 and thats what AlexB0's scanner docs would have wanted - but I can't get one of those to exist in /dev
[04:31] <penguin42> HappyFool: But I guess until I can get it to show /proc/devices I won't get udev to see it
[04:32] <Evans> penguin42 you wouldent happen to use
[04:32] <Evans> Sagem 800
[04:32] <Evans> ADSL modme would u
[04:33] <G2k> guys does someone know the name of the font used in this screenshot http://www.lynucs.org/index.php?screen_type=1&screen_id=164615191042c7ca5e641a7&m=screen
[04:33] <G2k> look at the gnome-panel
[04:33] <penguin42> Evans: No
[04:33] <Evans> :(
[04:33] <Evans> after 2 days of instaliing Ubuntu i still cant get my modem to work
[04:33] <G2k> I think its the same font windows xp uses....i hate windows but i like the font ;-P
[04:34] <Evans> Windows works in-some categorys better then Linux though...
[04:35] <G2k> true...
[04:35] <Evans> i still having to use windows i really want to get my modme to work but it wont
[04:36] <penguin42> Evans: Is  it a USB one?
[04:36] <Evans> yea
[04:36] <penguin42> nod - bad move; ethernet ones are so much easier
[04:37] <Evans> i mean it detects the modem and everything fine...
[04:37] <Evans> i installed the USB Eagle Drivers
[04:37] <Evans> Perfect...
[04:37] <Evans> i type startadsl
[04:37] <Evans> not fine...
[04:37] <Evans> it says modem not detected
[04:37] <Evans> and the green lite to indicate power is lit
[04:38] <jsimmons> does anyone know when the latest version of Wine (released on Friday) will be in the winehq repository?
[04:39] <lsuactiafner> jsimmons : compile it yourself
[04:39] <jsimmons> don't want to... :)
[04:39] <penguin42> Evans: Thing is with USB modems they all need their own drivers, nice ethernet ones don't need any drivers at all
[04:39] <Evans> ubuntu seems good but it is very annying :@
[04:40] <HappyFool> according to this http://www.sagem.com/index.php?id=182 the sagem 800 is supported under linux
[04:40] <lsuactiafner> heh
[04:40] <Evans> penguin42: etherenet?
[04:40] <lsuactiafner> jsimmons : whats the repository link i need to add to sources for it?
[04:40] <penguin42> Evans: Ethernet DSL modems/routers - much easier
[04:40] <Evans> HappyFool it is
[04:40] <jsimmons> if i needed a modem, i'd use one that connected to serial port
[04:40] <penguin42> jsimmons: DSL modem not old style
[04:41] <Evans> penguin42: it is actually listed... in Device Manager...
[04:41] <eno> how do I make my soundcard work?  I can't listen to an mp3!!!
[04:41] <penguin42> Evans: The listing bit is easy
[04:41] <jsimmons> ahhh
[04:41] <jsimmons> a usb cable modem?  yuk...
[04:41] <Evans> penguin42: but it says when its finsihed... instaliing...
[04:41] <Evans> Configuation #& setup Success
[04:41] <eno> very funny buddy
[04:41] <lsuactiafner> eno : lspci | grep -i audio
[04:42] <Evans> DSP error
[04:42] <Evans> cause it normally works when it boots until it
[04:42] <Evans> comes to hot-plug sytem
[04:42] <Evans> then the ADSL gos and the power one stays
[04:42] <jsimmons> does anyone know how to turn off window effects (like when you minimize and you see a half-assed animation of the window shrinking)
[04:43] <penguin42> (Incidentally - has anyone seen kswapd eating 100% cpu - mine has for the last few days)
[04:43] <lsuactiafner> eno : what? run that command,
[04:43] <lsuactiafner> eno : cant help you unlesss i know what hardware you have
[04:43] <eno> it says multimedia ensoniq etc.
[04:43] <lsuactiafner> eno : but let me read your mind then and tell you to rm -rf /boot then...
[04:44] <lsuactiafner> run alsaconf
[04:44] <eno> alsaconf, ok thanks
[04:44] <lsuactiafner> ..ubuntu doesnt have alsaconf
[04:44] <eno> I found that out :P
[04:44] <lsuactiafner> did you turn your volume levels up?
[04:44] <eno> yeah I get an error when I try to listen
[04:45] <lsuactiafner> once again.. i'll read your mind and determine the error..
[04:45] <penguin42> Evans: So, did you download the drivers off Sagems page or use the ones that come with Ubuntu?
[04:45] <jsimmons> bittorrent really does bite...
[04:45] <eno> it was something like it said it had no decoder for mp3
[04:45] <jsimmons> i feel like I'm on dial-up
[04:45] <HappyFool> jsimmons: good question (re animations) -- nothing obvious under system -> preferences
[04:45] <eno> but come to think of it, I don't think I had sound in forzen bubble either
[04:46] <lsuactiafner> eno : then i image you apt-get install xmms
[04:46] <flodine> anyone know how to merge color with diffrent programs
[04:46] <eno> I did that
[04:46] <lsuactiafner> and it should install a mp3 encoder also
[04:46] <HappyFool> you need to tell xmms to use esd, afaik
[04:46] <jsimmons> i think it's built into the theme
[04:46] <eno> I assume it is something to do with my soundcard in genera;
[04:46] <lsuactiafner> eno : you got mplayer installed?
[04:46] <jsimmons> and gnome ain't too accomodating where theme configuration is concerned
[04:46] <eno> let me see...
[04:46] <goldfish> eno: in prefernces > output plugin , change it to alsa
[04:46] <lsuactiafner> eno : do what HappyFool said.
[04:47] <HappyFool> jsimmons: have you looked at gconf: Applications -> System Tools -> configuration editor
[04:47] <ryan_> anyone here having nvidia problems with AMD kernel 2.6.10
[04:47] <eno> hey I can hear now!
[04:47] <jsimmons> yeah
[04:47] <eno> awesome!
[04:47] <eno> thanks lads
[04:47] <HappyFool> jsimmons: i see an 'enable_animations' under desktop -> gnome -> interface
[04:47] <Seveas> ryan_: You can read all about binary-only driver issues on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:47] <lsuactiafner> ryan_ : i run 2.6.12 and latest nvidia driver no problems
[04:47] <adwait> can someone help me with router configuration........since i started using the router, i cant use sendmail
[04:47] <HappyFool> jsimmons: hrm. that didn't work
[04:48] <adwait> the mails never reach although they get sent.......
[04:48] <marsh> amiliar with WINE?
[04:48] <jsimmons> see what I mean?
[04:48] <jsimmons> :)
[04:48] <ryan_> yeah I know but the K7 Kernels have lock-ups.  Read that using a 686 kernel fixed them, just wondering if anyone has tried
[04:48] <HappyFool> jsimmons: oh well. now that you've mentioned them i'll probably find them annoying forever
[04:48] <jsimmons> maybe I have to restart X
[04:48] <jsimmons> LOL
[04:48] <Seveas> adwait, you main mails sent to your machine which is now behind a router..?
[04:49] <jsimmons> i can't restart X until these stupid bt sessions are done
[04:49] <eno> oh, what do I do if a program crashes and then I can't end it... is there a program for closing other ones
[04:49] <HappyFool> i thought bt had resume?
[04:49] <lsuactiafner> hi Seveas
[04:49] <Seveas> eno, pkill [programname]
[04:49] <jsimmons> it might, but it's now worth my time to force the iussue :)
[04:50] <jsimmons> now=not
[04:50] <eno> thanks seveas
[04:50] <Seveas> if it refuses to die with that: pkill -9 [programname]
[04:50] <marsh> and know why I keep getting an NSIS error? says its having problems with the temp dir... what temp dir? google isn't heelping much and I can't seem to make my win partition permissions allow me r/w access (hoping that it;s the c:/windows/temp dir it';s talking about, but thats #ro and that wont change
[04:50] <Evans> Seveas: i think i found the problem with my ADSL modem
[04:50] <Seveas> Evans, OMG!
[04:50] <Seveas> nice :)
[04:50] <Seveas> What is it?
[04:50] <jsimmons> it's a usb modem - :)
[04:50] <Evans> at the boot..
[04:50] <eno> wow that is awesome!  I have the power!
[04:51] <Seveas> eno, lol :)
[04:51] <Evans> it starts up fine the ADSL & Power light are on-line
[04:51] <Evans> but then Hot-Plug starts up and takes the ADSL away
[04:51] <marsh> anyone? wine technicians anyone?
[04:51] <Evans> and i tried a printer on the USB plug today and it recongises it
[04:51] <Seveas> Evans, hmm, have you determined already which module kicks out the ADSL..?
[04:52] <Seveas> eno, if you feel like experimenting: kill -9 -1
[04:52] <jsimmons> how do i comine mpg's into a single file?
[04:52] <Seveas> that'll kill all processes from the user whu runs it
[04:52] <goldfish> jsimmons: is it porn?
[04:52] <eno> ok
[04:52] <Evans> Sev
[04:52] <goldfish> jsimmons: cat file1 file2 file3 > name.mpg
[04:52] <Evans> Seveas: what should i do now
[04:52] <jsimmons> no - family movies converted from vhs into a bunch of little files
[04:53] <jsimmons> (my little sister is pretty much useless when it comes to computers
[04:53] <lsuactiafner> goldfish : thats somewhat ugly, avimerge
[04:53] <eno> ok, and how do I mount a hard drive?
[04:54] <marsh> c'mon - i still having no joy - theres gotta be a WINE junky in here somewhere...
[04:54] <lsuactiafner> eno : sata or ide?
[04:54] <Seveas> Evans, somehow one module loaded by hotplug screws up your adsl, you will need to find out which and add the name of that module to /etc/hotplug/blacklist
[04:54] <lsuactiafner> and what filesystem type
[04:54] <eno> ide I think
[04:54] <eno> it is a separate controller
[04:54] <lsuactiafner> marsh : paste me a link to latest wine cvs source
[04:54] <Evans> Seveas: how will i find it out
[04:54] <Evans> ?
[04:55] <Seveas> Evans, no idea, really
[04:55] <Seveas> try lsmod | grep usb
[04:55] <Seveas> and paste that on the pastebin
[04:55] <Evans> explain in english plz Seveas
[04:55] <lsuactiafner> eno : mount /dev/hda /mnt/mount_point is the command, but hda might be hdb depends on how many ide disks you got
[04:56] <lsuactiafner> and mkdir /mnt/mount_point
[04:56] <eno> in knoppix it was called hde1
[04:56] <lsuactiafner> then it should be hde1
[04:56] <lsuactiafner> !kernel
[04:57] <lsuactiafner> whats the command for wiki on how to compile a kernel?
[04:57] <eno> is there a way I can list what is in dev so I can figure out what to mount?
[04:57] <Seveas> Evans, in the terminal you type: lsmod | grep usb
[04:57] <lsuactiafner> !kernelcompile
[04:57] <ubotu> lsuactiafner: I'm not sure, is it larger than a breadbox?
[04:57] <Seveas> evane|work, and than the output of that on http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl
[04:57] <Seveas> eno, fdisk -l
[04:57] <Seveas> lsuactiafner: You can find compilation instructions on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCompileHowto
[04:58] <marsh> lsuactiafner, sorry mate.... I noob, and i dont understand what is/how it works  (CVS)
[04:58] <eno> thanks
[04:58] <toresbe> !kernelcompile is <reply> You will probably find info about this at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCompileHowto
[04:58] <ubotu> toresbe: okay
[04:58] <Seveas> ubotu kernelcompile is http://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCompileHowto
[04:58] <ubotu> ...but kernelcompile is already something else...
[04:58] <lsuactiafner> ubotu : its larger than your brain
[04:58] <ubotu> lsuactiafner: I don't know, could you explain it?
[04:58] <toresbe> Seveas: thanks :)
[04:58] <Seveas> !kernaelcompile
[04:58] <ubotu> Seveas: Are you smoking crack?
[04:58] <Seveas> !kernelcompile
[04:58] <ubotu> You will probably find info about this at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCompileHowto
[04:58] <Seveas> hmm
[04:58] <eno> oh crap!  It is NTFS and it wont go...
[04:58] <lsuactiafner> heh thanks
[04:58] <Evans> Seveas: Private Msg
[04:59] <lsuactiafner> ryan_ : http://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCompileHowto
[04:59] <Seveas> Evans, I have that on ignore (I get unsollicited pm's from too many people), please ask in here
[04:59] <HappyFool> fwiw, wiki seems to redirect to https always
[04:59] <marsh> lsua - if I just downloaded wine now, does that mean I have the latest cvs source?
[04:59] <lsuactiafner> lol
[04:59] <lsuactiafner> rofl
[04:59] <eno> ok I think it finds the device, but it says the dir in /mnt doesn't exist.  can I just create that and it will work?
[04:59] <Evans> alright seveas
[05:00] <Evans> wanna know what it actually says...
[05:00] <Evans> when i installed
[05:00] <Seveas> yes...
[05:00] <lsuactiafner> marsh : nope, means you got latest stable release
[05:00] <lsuactiafner> i dont have bandwidht to go lokoin for source
[05:00] <lsuactiafner> but will go chek now anyways
[05:00] <Evans> well i installed it
[05:00] <klaym> how can I change the default mediaplayer (from totem to gxine) ?
[05:00] <Evans> it says at the top plug in your USB modem...
[05:00] <Evans> i did so
[05:00] <esno> Hey.. somebody in here who'd like to help me fixing my little sound-problem? :D
[05:00] <eno> how do I create a directory :$
[05:00] <Evans> waited 30 secounds like it told me to do in the forum,
[05:00] <djp> can anybody tell me why theora playback using totem-gstreamer is jerky? avi files are fine.
[05:01] <Evans> then i installed it with clicking on and selecting Tiscali UK [UK01]
[05:01] <HappyFool> esno: what's the problem?
[05:01] <Evans> i enterd my dsl name:
[05:01] <Evans><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[05:01] <eno> I am mounting but it says the directory doesn't exist in /mnt
[05:02] <eno> so I figure if I make the directory it will work
[05:02] <lsuactiafner> man i got so little bandwidth i got a 13s lag to irc..
[05:02] <marsh> lsuactiafner, is this http://source.winehq.org/ what your after?
[05:02] <eno> wow I think I did it
[05:03] <marsh> lsuactiafner,  is there anything I can do to help? can I d/l and send it direct to you? will that make things faster?
[05:03] <lsuactiafner> yeh good link
[05:03] <eno> Boo YEAH!  Thanks.
[05:03] <lsuactiafner> heh no thanks, will get it now, am on a 5k/s dialup but its saturated with 4 other downloads
[05:03] <esno> I just installed Ubuntu and, well, my sound isnt working. To be exact: the sound is more or less playing, but I cant actually hear it. Example: The Volume-Meter "displays" the music that's playing, but I cant hear. I'm using a "Terratec Phase 22".
[05:04] <HappyFool> esno: have you looked at your volume settings ? double-click on the speaker next to the clock
[05:04] <esno> The thing is, I'm using the digital-out. When I was using Windows, I had this little programm where I could change the outputs (digital / analog), but I cant use this tool in Ubuntu.
[05:05] <HappyFool> esno: ah
[05:05] <HappyFool> esno: try maybe 'alsamixer' in a terminal
[05:05] <esno> Yeah, the volume's turned up, but as soon as I close the Volume-settings, the settings vanish.
[05:05] <kiks> heja
[05:05] <HappyFool> esno: afaik alsamixer lists every channel linux on your soundcard linux knows about
[05:05] <HappyFool> esno: you don't have two soundcards or anything like that?
[05:05] <Dr_Willis> esno,  the mixer prog - proberly has a toggle to enable the digital out.
[05:06] <lsuactiafner> goin to wait like 40 minutes for the site to open
[05:06] <lsuactiafner> rofl
[05:06] <rjshade> guys, on the subject of soundcards, how do i tell ALSA to use my Soundblaster Live! card rather than the onboard NForce audio?
[05:06] <Dr_Willis> ive never heard of a "Terratec Phase 22" however.. so who knows how well alsa supports it.
[05:07] <Dr_Willis> rjshade,  disable the other in bios is the best way.  :P or edit the alsa config files.
[05:07] <esno> 1. I disabled my onboard-soundcard, so, yeah, I only use the Phase 22. 2. Well, alsa won't display an option regarding the digital out. It's just saying "Multi Tr" (Multi Track Peak)
[05:07] <adwait> :p
[05:07] <adwait> evans: whts wrong?
[05:07] <arenner> my resolution is stuck at 640x480, but my xorg.conf is set to display 1024x768, any ideas?
[05:07] <Dr_Willis> arenner,  check the monitor settings in tht file?
[05:07] <Evans> Ubuntu is just to hard for me to install ADSL
[05:07] <rjshade> ok cool, I'll give the BIOS a shot in a few minutes
[05:07] <rjshade> thanks
[05:07] <adwait> arenner: xorg.conf contains the possible resolution.to actually select go to sys>pereferences>screen resolution
[05:07] <lsuactiafner> Read 7.1 KiB of data, 337 KiB/sec.
[05:07] <marsh> hehehe.. tha's dedication for ya!
[05:08] <adwait> Evans: how are u trying to connect? with a router?
[05:08] <arenner> Dr_Willis: Monitor settings only calls out DPMS, You think I am being forced to 640x480 because of lack of vert and horiz sync?
[05:08] <HappyFool> esno: you know that you can use the left-right arrow keys to view other channels in alsamixer ?
[05:08] <Dr_Willis> esno,  this is on a "shuttle" system?
[05:09] <Dr_Willis> arenner,  hmm.. sounds odd to me..  could cheat and try a Knoppix Live CD. and copy its config over. If it works. Or use it as a start.
[05:09] <esno> Willis: No, I'm not using a shuttle-system. Happyfool: Yes, I do. But there are like 7 options to choose from and ever single of them says "Multi Tr"
[05:09] <esno> Maybe there's someting wrong with the driver installed?
[05:10] <HappyFool> esno: hrm. i have 'Master' and 'Master Mono' and many, many more
[05:10] <Dr_Willis> esno,  this a Nforce4 motherboard? - seeing a lot of google hits on it. :P
[05:10] <esno> Wait, I'll take a screenshot. Just for a better understanding.
[05:10] <esno> Willis: Nah, I have a "ASUS P4C800"
[05:11] <eno> so if I am wanting access to my own hard drive, but it says I dont have permission, can I add that somehow.  It belongs to root.  do I sudo something?
[05:11] <HappyFool> eno: this is ntfs/fat ?
[05:11] <HappyFool> eno: try "-o umask=000" in the mount command, or in the fstab options field
[05:11] <eno> ntfs :P
[05:11] <eno> my old data drive from windoze
[05:11] <adwait> eno: in fstab edit the gid and uid settings
[05:12] <eno> you both lost me
[05:12] <adwait> eno: can u write to the disk as root?
[05:12] <HappyFool> eno: 'sudo mount -t ntfs -o umask=000 /dev/he1 /mnt/windows'
[05:13] <esno> HappyFool: Here you go: http://img270.imageshack.us/my.php?image=alsa8qm.png
[05:13] <eno> I have to unmount it first I think... any hints as to how to do that?
[05:13] <goldfish> eno: umount
[05:13] <HappyFool> sudo umount /mnt/windows
[05:13] <adwait> eno: sudo umount /dev/hd1
[05:14] <goldfish> hda1
[05:14] <goldfish> :)
[05:14] <adwait> right
[05:14] <adwait> :)
[05:14] <eno> device is busy?
[05:14] <eno> oh I am in that directory
[05:14] <adwait> aah
[05:14] <jsimmons> is there a site that allows me to download the ubuntu and kubuntu dvd images without using bittorrent?
[05:15] <HappyFool> eno: you catch on quick ;)
[05:15] <Dr_Willis> you really dont need to download them both. :P
[05:15] <HappyFool> esno: hrm. i take you don't really have a 'ICEnsemble ICE1724' ?
[05:15] <adwait> jsimmons: www.ubuntulinux.org.........check the mirrors
[05:15] <HappyFool> esno: i.e., that's not another name for your card?
[05:15] <jsimmons> the mirrors don't allow downloads without using shittorrent
[05:15] <lsuactiafner> marsh : http://winehq.org/site/download-deb
[05:16] <lsuactiafner> source install it
[05:16] <adwait> jsimmons: cant be.........i downloaded via normal http
[05:16] <djp> is ogg theora playback slightly choppy at the omment under totem-gstreamer?
[05:16] <marsh> jsimmons only the dvd image forces bittorrent use
[05:16] <jsimmons> exactly
[05:16] <adwait> aah
[05:16] <jsimmons> i want the dvd iso files
[05:16] <marsh> lsuactiafner, will that resolve the issue with it not being able to access/use the temp dir?
[05:16] <eno> HAHA!  awesome... thanks again
[05:17] <eno> this is the most helpful irc ever
[05:17] <adwait> lol
[05:17] <lsuactiafner> no ide
[05:17] <adwait> :)
[05:17] <lsuactiafner> never used wine before
[05:17] <lsuactiafner> but think i will give it a shot
[05:17] <esno> HappyFool: I'm not sure, but asking google ("ICE1724" "Phase 22") earns me some hits.
[05:17] <marsh> lsau - and do you know any reason why I cant get write acces to my windows dir?
[05:17] <kenny> hi guys
[05:17] <lsuactiafner> marsh : ntfs?
[05:17] <esno> I didn't change the driver, the one that's installed at the moment, is out of the box.
[05:17] <kenny> marsh what is thefilesystem ntfs
[05:17] <marsh> lsua - or even better - how to backup a copy of my dvd's without wine?
[05:18] <marsh> lsua - no - vfat
[05:18] <marsh> lsuactiafner, vfat
[05:18] <marsh> kenny vfat
[05:18] <kenny> you hav to change the permissions on the fstab file
[05:18] <lsuactiafner> vobcopy
[05:18] <adwait> marsh: can u write as root?
[05:18] <marsh> if it were ntfs i could understand
[05:18] <HappyFool> esno: hrm: http://www.euclideanspace.com/tech/pc/shuttle/setup/sound/
[05:19] <Evans> sorry power-cut
[05:19] <HappyFool> esno: i don't know what version of alsa hoary has
[05:19] <marsh> no
[05:19] <adwait> Evans: ok
[05:19] <kenny> marsh this is what i have  /dev/hdb5       /media/swapdisk   vfat     defaults,auto,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0
[05:20] <kenny> im able to right as root and as a user
[05:20] <HappyFool> esno: ah, but i see alsamixer is 1.0.8 -- not sure alsamixer version tracks alsa's, but it seems likely
[05:20] <marsh> hang on, i'll try that, kenny
[05:21] <esno> I think I'm using ALSA 1.2.10 (that's what XMMS says).
[05:21] <kenny> k
[05:21] <esno> HappyFool: Well, the link you gave me. I'm def going to check that one out.
[05:21] <kenny> sudo gedit /etc/fstab
[05:21] <kenny> you will need to remount
[05:21] <adwait> marsh: i think u should edit the uid
[05:21] <kenny> umount /a
[05:21] <kenny> - or i think its umount -a
[05:22] <Evans> this is a good online game site
[05:22] <Evans> www.spacetrace.org
[05:22] <Evans> :P
[05:22] <HappyFool> esno: hrm. http://www.alsa-project.org/ says latest alsa is 1.0.9b, so xmms must be talking about something else
[05:22] <terasurfer> Does anybody know how to restore basic keyboard shortcuts in gnome?
[05:22] <terasurfer> I accidentally hit delete while modifying a shortcut, and now the old delete binding is gone
[05:22] <Kyral> Okay
[05:23] <Kyral> now I'm lazy
[05:23] <kenny> tera click system then prefrences then keyboard shortcuts
[05:23] <Kyral> I made the Windows Keys shortcuts to Workspace 1 and 2
[05:23] <marsh> guys - do i have to shutdown to make fstab re-read
[05:23] <marsh> ?
[05:23] <lsuactiafner> lol
[05:23] <lsuactiafner> good idea
[05:24] <kenny> marsh just type umount -a
[05:24] <lsuactiafner> i use my mouse scroll wheel tho to flip em
[05:24] <HappyFool> esno: also, 1.0.9 was only released in 27 May -- it wouldn't be in hoary
[05:24] <terasurfer> kenny: there aren't any basic settings in there, just multimedia and stuff
[05:24] <kenny> then type mount -a
[05:24] <lsuactiafner> hey Seveas
[05:24] <HappyFool> esno: i'm guessing your card isn't supported
[05:24] <Evans> hey seveas
[05:24] <Evans> wb
[05:24] <kenny> tera have you tried the ubuntuforums.org
[05:24] <esno> HappyFool: But I think I updated some of the alsa-stuff, using the package manager.
[05:24] <jsimmons> grrrrrrrrr
[05:24] <HappyFool> esno: oh?
[05:24] <HappyFool> esno: from where? backports?
[05:24] <terasurfer> kenny: yup, nothing useful (yet)
[05:24] <kenny> lol
[05:25] <Seveas> hi
[05:25] <Seveas> ty
[05:25] <kenny> have you looked through gnome help
[05:25] <esno> HappyFool: Uh, what? Backports? I'm confused.
[05:25] <jsimmons> i just google the iso file, and every damn hit uses torrent...
[05:25] <terasurfer> hah...well when i click the help button in the keyboard shortcut manager, it appears to be an unimplemented action command
[05:26] <kenny> jsimnons backports are programs that you dont get from ubuntu servers
[05:26] <HappyFool> esno: ubuntu 'main' or 'official' doesn't do feature-upgrades within a release
[05:26] <jsimmons> i'm referring to the distro iso's...
[05:26] <HappyFool> esno: so i find it unlikely that you can have alsa 1.0.9
[05:26] <jsimmons> specifically the dvd iso's
[05:26] <kenny> srry that comment was for esno
[05:26] <jsimmons> k
[05:27] <azol> hi all. How can I replace "2 dog's" "3 dog's" "4 dog's" and so on with "my 2 dog's" "my 3 dog's" "my 4 dog's" in a whole file with a help of vim? :%s/???/???/g
[05:27] <jsimmons> they should call this crap "dial-up-torrent"
[05:27] <esno> HappyFool: Seems like I need a little tool called "Envy24Control" (this one: http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa/ftp/others/envy24control/). Could you help me to install it?
[05:27] <esno> Okay, thanks Kenny. So the programm I need (check the link) is a backport?
[05:27] <HappyFool> esno: i can try
[05:27] <kenny> esno have you tried debian unstable debs
[05:27] <gm78> Does anyone here use Limewire?
[05:28] <esno> Cool! Thanks. :D
[05:28] <kenny> i have limewire pro
[05:28] <esno> Uh, I'm not sure, kenny. Sorry.
[05:28] <HappyFool> lo JDahl
[05:28] <inemo> and me kenny
[05:28] <marsh> ok guys - no joy :(.... how do i tell for sure what fs the partition is?
[05:28] <kenny> if i can find the package i want i usally try using packages from debian unstable
[05:29] <PotsyGr> Hello all.
[05:29] <kenny> gm78 i have limewire pro
[05:29] <kenny> hi potsygr
[05:29] <gm78> kenny: what does limewire not understand about disconnect? :-P i specifically clicked disconnect last night but left the program running, wake up this morning, and its uploaded 4 GBs and now my ISP is going to charge me for it
[05:29] <inemo> gm78: way you ask?
[05:29] <esno> Kenny: Wow.. that sounds quite.. hard.. to do. :/
[05:29] <kenny> lol, did u disable the sharing option
[05:30] <marsh> kenny - I can now write to the drive as root, but cannot change the permissions for user access... wont let me write?!?!
[05:30] <kenny> enso it isnt, i think the url is packages.debian.org me thinks
[05:30] <gm78> kenny : had it set to max 10 KB/s, so how it uploaded 4 GBs while it was supposed to be disconnected baffles me
[05:30] <Seveas> marsh, fdisk -l
[05:30] <kenny> you search the site for the packages u want and download them
[05:30] <marsh> fdisk -l
[05:30] <terasurfer> kenny: just FYI...i fixed it by re-defining my keyboard layout
[05:31] <HappyFool> esno: i will happily help you try to install this, but i suspect you need alsa 1.0.9
[05:31] <kenny> gm78 ur better of just disableing the sharing option in limewire, that way you wont get sued
[05:31] <kenny> cool tera
[05:31] <PotsyGr> So heres the deal, I am completely new to linux (oh no I am a Newbi), and just downloaded the Ubunto 5.04 iso, I am about to burn the disk, and was wondering if there is anything I should know before I install the distro on my system?
[05:31] <marsh> anything to do with fdisk says it cannot open /dev/hda - is this because it's using it (to run this ubuntu)?
[05:31] <Seveas> azol, s/\(\d\ dog's\)/my \1/"
[05:32] <Seveas> marsh, sudo fdisk -l
[05:32] <marsh> Aaahhh.. bollox... I'm late for working... shit...
[05:32] <kenny> POtsyGr partition ur drive before hade, cause the partitioner that comes with unbuntu isnt that easy (for me anyways
[05:32] <gm78> kenny: why does it matter tho? if i click disconnect it should disconnect, no uploads or downloads, thats how kazaa, bearshare, and well...every other p2p program works. im using the beta, do u think it might be a bug? I tried reporting it, but their bugzilla is down
[05:32] <PotsyGr> ok
[05:32] <esno> HappyFool: Okay, I'll do everything you ask me to. It's just.. I'm not that good with Ubuntu (only using it for like 2 days). :/
[05:32] <Evans> could it be my modem isnt working becuase ubuntu didnt install fully
[05:32] <kenny> it could be a bug gm78
[05:32] <PotsyGr> any specific format on the partition?
[05:32] <kenny> gm78 never use beta software
[05:33] <marsh> yeah - it is vfat... but i gotta go... thanks gents, have to carry this on later... 5 hours and i'm still at square one!!! lol
[05:33] <marsh> still..
[05:33] <esno> HappyFool: Where can I get the 1.0.9? The Package Manager only lists 1.0.8
[05:33] <marsh> c'est la vie...
[05:33] <gm78> anyways, enough complaining from me. I'm not too happy with Limewire lately, other than gtk-gnutella, does anyone know of any good p2p clients for Linux
[05:33] <gm78> ?
[05:33] <kenny> gm78 i could give you my copy of limewire
[05:33] <Poromies> gm78: have you tried bittorrent?
[05:34] <HappyFool> esno: i'm not sure that it's that easy
[05:34] <Poromies> or amule?
[05:34] <xoz> gm78: are you using limewire pro?
[05:34] <HappyFool> esno: alsa, afaik, is part of the linux kernel
[05:34] <kenny> bittorrent is brilliant
[05:34] <kenny> yes i am
[05:34] <kenny> i use the windows version
[05:34] <esno> HappyFool: Well, I'd do it. It just, would you help me? :D
[05:35] <HappyFool> esno: um. upgrading kernels is major pain, high risk, death-defying, etc. (at least in my opinion ;)
[05:35] <gm78> kenny: what do u mean? do u mean give me ur license for pro? dont they track that kind of stuff?
[05:35] <gm78> poromies : i dont care for amule, i use azureus, i like bittorrent for some things, but i like the feel of a traditional file-sharing program
[05:35] <xoz> !u
[05:35] <ubotu> U mag wel 'je' zeggen, hoor.
[05:35] <HappyFool> esno: i'm glancing through backports now to see if they have alsa
[05:35] <kenny> no they dont
[05:35] <gm78> Poromies: actually....hold on, which protocol does amule use, edonkey?
[05:36] <esno> HappyFool: Okay, thank you very much. :)
[05:36] <Poromies> gm78: yeps
[05:36] <gm78> kenny: whats the difference between limewire basic and pro?
[05:36] <kenny> nothing really, except you will have the full speed of your connection and more results in your searches
[05:37] <gm78> Poromies: is it a pain to set up like the traditional edonkey client. thats one thing i liked about limewire, install the rpm/deb, click the icon and it works.
[05:37] <xoz> gm78: do you think they will charge pro if it's not superior?
[05:37] <jsimmons> how do i adjust my bittorrent settings?
[05:37] <gm78> xoz: well i know that :-P I'm just asking what specifically is different
[05:37] <xoz> gm78: better connection and more search results
[05:38] <kenny> why do you want to adjust ur bittorrent settings
[05:38] <gm78> xoz: how do they do that? they dont run the gnutella network, so do they purposely limit something in limewire basic?
[05:39] <kenny> limewire basic has a limit of 25kbs i thin
[05:39] <kenny> think
[05:40] <gm78> kenny: no, that cant be true. i was downloading something last night at 80 kb/s....its rare, but i do get downloads that fast sometimes
[05:40] <kenny> Are ubuntu developers going to fix the HAl or do i have to wait for Badger
[05:40] <sobersabre> highvoltage, i have a synaptics touchpad. i can't make 2finger tap to be right click... how do i do it ?
[05:40] <_death> yo i installed nvidia-glx with kynaptic but its not working
[05:40] <kenny> gm78 im only saying what iv heard and what iv read on there site
[05:41] <kenny> _death u have to enable it
[05:41] <lsuactiafner> this software patents vote, why aint the whole of freenode organising things to fight it?
[05:41] <gm78> _death: did u edit your x config file?
[05:41] <HappyFool> esno: alsa-1.0.9 is not obviously available on backports
[05:41] <_death> no how do i?
[05:41] <kenny> _death type sudo nvidia-glx-config enable in a terminal
[05:41] <gm78> _death : remove dri from the modules section and change device "nv" to device "nvidia" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:42] <Evans> :)
[05:42] <highvoltage> sobersabre: there's some stuff that you have to put into xorg.conf
[05:42] <highvoltage> hold on... i'll put it on paste
[05:42] <gm78> _death: then log out, ctrl+alt+backspace, and it should be working
[05:42] <kenny> _death type "sudo nvidia-glx-config enable" in a terminal
[05:42] <esno> HappyFool: So, shall I try to install Envy24Control?
[05:42] <gm78> kenny: oh, lol, i didnt know u could do that. ive been doing it the long way then
[05:42] <kenny> lol
[05:42] <HappyFool> esno: i'm not sure. Seveas, you around?
[05:43] <kenny> gm78 u still have to do that with the Official nvidia drivers but for the Ubuntu ones its sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
[05:43] <highvoltage> sobersabre: http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/382
[05:44] <gm78> kenny: oh, lol, ive just been isntalling the ubuntu ones and then editing the x config file
[05:44] <gm78> kenny: oh well, worked anyways :P
[05:44] <kenny> lol
[05:45] <HappyFool> esno: ok, let's try this envy24 thing
[05:45] <kenny> I still cant my Tv to work with Nvidia, im just waiting for a easy script to do it for me
[05:45] <HappyFool> esno: I've downloaded version 0.0.4 from that page
[05:45] <esno> HappyFool: Same here. Already downloaded.
[05:45] <gm78> kenny: u mean ur tv out? isnt there supposed to be like nvtv or some program like that to do it for u?
[05:46] <HappyFool> esno: ok, make a 'build' directory in your home folder: mkdir ~/build
[05:46] <kenny> i tried nvtv, i think its for people who use the default drivers with ubuntu
[05:46] <HappyFool> esno: let's take this to private. If seveas returns, ask him about alsa 1.0.9
[05:46] <kenny> TvOut support is the only thing i need to do for ubuntu, i have everything else working to my likeing
[05:47] <gm78> kenny: according to synaptic's description of nvtv it works with both the official 3d drivers and the open source nv drivers
[05:47] <kenny> yea
[05:47] <eno> does shareaza work on ubuntu?
[05:47] <kenny> might give it a try again sometime later on
[05:47] <gm78> kenny: which nvidia card do u have?
[05:47] <gm78> eno: never even heard of it. is there a linux version of it?
[05:47] <kenny> gm78 i have a Geforce FX 5600
[05:48] <gm78> kenny: i have a geforce fx 5200. I was actually thinking of trying to get tv-out working (never even touched it before). if ig et it working ill let u know if ur on here
[05:49] <eno> I dunno
[05:49] <HiFi_dk> hi... is it possible to modify the predefined AT commands that kppp sends ?
[05:50] <tyler> goldfish, I was having problems getting passed 1024x768 but now ive seemed to get it to 1152x864
[05:50] <tyler> how do i get to 1600x1200
[05:50] <eno> yeah it is not on linux.  is there a filesharing app for linux that does many protocols?
[05:52] <goldfish> tyler: u got an nvidia card?
[05:53] <kenny> tyler you will need to install the proper drivers for your gpu then edit your xorg
[05:53] <tyler> yes i do
[05:53] <tyler> but
[05:53] <tyler> i tried installing drivers
[05:53] <tyler> and it failed
[05:54] <tyler> saying i dont have a kernal or kernal interface
[05:54] <kenny> install the kernal headers
[05:54] <tyler> ill have to go see which ones i dont have
[05:54] <tyler> be back in a few
[05:54] <kenny> first find the kernal version your using then apt-get the headers for it
[05:55] <Ofun> anyone else having an awfully slow connection to archive.ubuntu.com?
[05:55] <tyler> kenny, im a noob so I have no clue what you're talking about(sorry just installed linux last night
[05:55] <Ofun> my apt-get dist-upgrade is slower than usual (on a cable connection - downloaded the liveCD iso at ~500kbps)
[05:56] <gbhat> anyone have an idea why sound is misbehaving on my hoary box? I can hear system sounds but not audio from songs
[05:56] <gbhat> via82xx onboard sound
[05:56] <HappyFool> gbhat: what application?
[05:56] <gbhat> vlc media player
[05:57] <HappyFool> erk. don't know that. anyway, you probably have to tell it to use esd
[05:57] <HappyFool> oh, and you need to install mp3 codecs
[05:57] <HappyFool> !restricted
[05:57] <ubotu> extra, extra, read all about it, restricted is http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RestrictedFormats
[05:57] <gbhat> yeah I have all the codecs installed
[05:57] <comadreja> HappyFool !
[05:57] <HappyFool> hey comadreja
[05:57] <comadreja> I made it
[05:57] <Ofun> gbhat: what types of files are you trying to play?
[05:57] <gbhat> wma
[05:57] <comadreja> HappyFool : I mean, having all three sounds esd, alsa and oss
[05:58] <Ofun> gbhat: have you tried using mplayer instead?
[05:58] <HappyFool> comadreja: huh. this is with you recompiled mplayer?
[05:58] <gbhat> Ofun, yeah same result
[05:58] <comadreja> HappyFool : but for some weird reason I don't get the tam-tam on gdm
[05:58] <comadreja> HappyFool : nopes, it was libesd-alsa0
[05:58] <Ofun> gbhat: did you try it on the command line? if you haven't, try that and see what the error output is.
[05:58] <comadreja> HappyFool : plus esd
[05:59] <comadreja> HappyFool : with one small asound.conf
[05:59] <cwillu> newb question:  I've got a file called 'HH20050703 T9641389 No Limit Hold'em  $1 + $0.20.txt'.  How do I cat this from the command line?)
[05:59] <comadreja> HappyFool : and another small esd.conf
[05:59] <Ofun> cwillu: put backslashes in front of each special character (space, dollar sign, etc)
[05:59] <cwillu> I thought I did
[06:00] <Ofun> eg: cat This\ Is\ My\ File\$
[06:00] <cwillu> I _think_ the dollar sign is doing something weird
[06:00] <gbhat> Ofun, i get this A:  -0.3 (00.-2) ??,?% 0%
[06:00] <Ofun> gbhat: there should be more output than that if you're having an error.
[06:00] <gbhat> no errors from VLC
[06:00] <cwillu> Notably, I don't get tab completion for the file either
[06:01] <Ofun> cwillu: what shell are you using? bash?
[06:01] <cwillu> bash I believe
[06:01] <gbhat> Ofun, it stops there. I also get a message about extra_face and fonts missing
[06:01] <cwillu> default terminal
[06:01] <cwillu> HH20050703\ T9641389\ No\ Limit\ Hold'em\ \ $1\ +\ $0.20.txt is how 'dir' quotes it
[06:01] <Ofun> cwillu: that should work.
[06:01] <gbhat> bah!!I have had enough issues with Ubuntu regarding sound. What a royal pain
[06:02] <cwillu> if I type cat HH20050703\ T9641389\ No\ Limit\ Hold'em\ \ $1\ +\ $0.20.txt, it goes to a > prompt
[06:02] <cwillu> hmm
[06:03] <cwillu> okay, the dollars signs needed quoting as well, as you said
[06:03] <Ofun> cwillu: so that worked?
[06:03] <hmrocha> Hello
[06:03] <cwillu> must have missed the second one the first time,,, thanks
[06:03] <Ofun> cwillu: np.
[06:03] <hmrocha> Colony-2 is out, is it safe to use Breezy now?
[06:04] <Ofun> so no ideas on my slow apt-get dist-upgrade?
[06:04] <robotgeek> yeah, is it safe to use breezy?
[06:04] <Ofun> i get great speeds downloading isos from the ubuntu site...
[06:04] <robotgeek> i want to get the Network Manager goodness!
[06:04] <hmrocha> I'm using breezy repositories because i need some programs like mono
[06:05] <hmrocha> But I didn't upgrade all of my system.
[06:05] <hmrocha> At home I dist-upgraded and i fucked up my ubuntu instalation.
[06:05] <hmrocha> Now that colony-2 is out, i'll try at home.
[06:06] <tyler> goldfish, it couldnt find the kernal source tree
[06:06] <tyler> how do i find it?
[06:06] <lsuactiafner> tyler : kernel.org
[06:06] <Tyler> ok
[06:06] <Tyler> thx
[06:06] <sensayshun> Can anyone help me get the demo of ut2004 working, I've installed it all fine, I load it up, get the splash screen, but then the splash screen disappears and I get left on the desktop
[06:06] <lsuactiafner> there is apt-get for it
[06:07] <lsuactiafner> i just dotn know what
[06:07] <Tyler> whats an apt get
[06:07] <kenny> sensayshun have you installed you gpu drivers
[06:07] <cwillu> simple answer is that unless you're okay with completely braeking your system and have the ability to troubleshoot with a broken system (i.e., you're not dependant on it), then no
[06:07] <lsuactiafner> sensayshun : it does that to get your hopes up
[06:07] <sensayshun> kenny: yes i'm on an ati radeon 9600pro
[06:07] <lsuactiafner> Tyler : apt-get downloads software automatically for you
[06:07] <robotgeek> then, i guess I will wait for a while
[06:07] <nalioth_zZzZzZzZ> Tyler: system > administration > synaptic package manager
[06:07] <sensayshun> lsuactiafner, i'm so new to linux just managing to download it got my hopes up plenty :P
[06:08] <Tyler> ok
[06:08] <kenny> i dont think Unreal can run using ATI cards
[06:08] <Tyler> now i gotta find the kernel
[06:08] <Tyler> on windows it can
[06:08] <Tyler> no clue about linux
[06:08] <robotgeek> ubuntu is the only distro which works "out of the box" on my powerbook, so I think I will stick to hoary for now
[06:08] <sensayshun> kenny: argh! :( that sucks majorly
[06:08] <kenny> something about graphic compression only found on nvidia cards
[06:08] <nalioth> Tyler: the seach function works well in synatpic

[06:16] <tyler> and nalioth i installed the package
[06:16] <tyler> not source
[06:16] <tyler> could not find source
[06:17] <robotgeek> adwait: sorry, let me start off from the beginning!
[06:17] <robotgeek> adwait: i have a powerbook laptop running ubuntu
[06:17] <adwait> k...
[06:17] <sensayshun> tyler, for ati or nvidia?

[06:17] <sensayshun> tyler, can't help ya there, sorry
[06:17] <tyler> ;o its ok
[06:18] <robotgeek> adwait: there are two types of video ports there...
[06:18] <adwait> tyler: whn did u get into compiling ur kernel and stuff? in the morning (last night ur time i guess) u were trying to install the drivers with sh.......
[06:18] <robotgeek> adwait: one is a dvi out, which can be used to connect to the tv, other is a normal video out port which can be used to connect external monitors and displays
[06:19] <tyler> yeah i was
[06:19] <robotgeek> adwait: they don't work out of the box on ubuntu(nor on any linux distro)
[06:19] <tyler> and someone told me today to install the kernel source
[06:19] <adwait> robotgeek: i see......off hand i dont quite know either....but ill try and find out
[06:19] <robotgeek> adwait: i wanted to find out if anybody else had managed to do something funky abt it!!
[06:20] <tyler> when i went to install the video drivers adwait, it says im missing a kernal source tree
[06:20] <Tsukasa> robotgeek, are you using the mesa drivers or custom ones?
[06:21] <robotgeek> Tsukasa: i am not sure, how do i find out.
[06:21] <robotgeek> Tsukasa: i havent recompiled anything (yet!)
[06:21] <kenny> does anyone know how to conver SVCD to MPEG2 in linux, al lthe program iv used in windows dont work
[06:21] <adwait> robotgeek: try this http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2005/03/msg00641.html/........ill brb
[06:22] <Tsukasa> you can find out using glxinfo and spot the "OpenGL vendor string" I think
[06:22] <robotgeek> Tsukasa: brb!
[06:23] <thechitowncubs> Hey everyone, I have an iRiver h320 and i need a way to sort my music by the artist name in seperate folders based on the letter. What should I look for to accomplish this?
[06:23] <SysFail> can anybody verify that doing the upgrade to kde 3.4.1 will end the konqeror crashes?
[06:23] <nalioth> kenny: dvdrip
[06:23] <robotgeek> Tsukasa: it says mesa!
[06:23] <nalioth> kenny: have you searched using synaptic or packages.ubuntu.com?
[06:24] <nalioth> SysFail: i upgraded and have had no trouble
[06:24] <SysFail> did you have those crashes before nalioth ?
[06:24] <adwait> ok back
[06:24] <robotgeek> adwait: thanks for the link, never saw this...
[06:25] <nalioth> SysFail: yes, it crashed occasionally
[06:25] <Tsukasa> robotgeek, is the screen plain black or totally messed up on tvout?
[06:25] <HappyFool> nalioth: don't suppose you have any tips on getting alsa 1.0.9 running on hoary ?
[06:25] <robotgeek> Tsukasa: I havent done anything yet, i just wanted to get prepared first!
[06:26] <nalioth> HappyFool: i don't even know what alsa is
[06:26] <HappyFool> nalioth: linux sound system
[06:26] <HappyFool> nalioth: i'll take that as a 'maybe' ;)
[06:27] <robotgeek> Tsukasa: I read somewhere that i could close the lid laptop after turning it on,would turn on the external display
[06:27] <kenny> happyfool why do you want alsa 1.0.9 installed anyway
[06:27] <HappyFool> kenny: i don't, but i think esno's card is only supported in 1.0.9
[06:27] <Tsukasa> robotgeek: Yeah, I read that too
[06:27] <robotgeek> Tsukasa: but, my powerbook would not boot..which was quite surprising :)
[06:27] <Tsukasa> hehe
[06:28] <HappyFool> kenny: according to this page: http://www.euclideanspace.com/tech/pc/shuttle/setup/sound/   support for terratec phase 22 was added in 1.0.9
[06:29] <robotgeek> Tsukasa,adwait : i will try recompiling xorg, this seems like it might work!
[06:30] <thechitowncubs> Hey everyone, I have an iRiver h320 and i need a way to sort my music by the artist name in seperate folders based on the letter. What should I look for to accomplish this?
[06:30] <robotgeek> Tsukasa,adwait : it mentions a patch for my video card, so i will try it!
[06:30] <robotgeek> Tsukasa,adwait : thanks!!
[06:31] <Tsukasa> ;)
[06:31] <adwait> robotgeek: npp.....goodluck
[06:31] <nalioth> HappyFool: have you gotten the source for it?
[06:31] <Seveas> thechitowncubs, is the artist name in the file name..?
[06:32] <HappyFool> nalioth: no
[06:32] <BlueSummer> lo all
[06:32] <HappyFool> nalioth: hoary has alsa 1.0.8
[06:32] <othernoob> Seveas: do you know a program like gspot for linux?
[06:32] <othernoob> or how to get it to work in wine.
[06:32] <HappyFool> Seveas: don't suppose you have any ideas about installing alsa 1.0.9 on hoary?
[06:32] <Seveas> what's gspot other than the place my girlfriends seems to like a lot..?
[06:32] <nalioth> HappyFool: you have asked, so let's get started >>> get the source
[06:32] <Seveas> HappyFool, you're right :)
[06:32] <HappyFool> nalioth: it's esno, not me actually ;)
[06:33] <robotgeek> Seveas: it's a program which tells you which codecs have been used to encode a media file!
[06:33] <HappyFool> nalioth: i can do the ./configure && make && make install dance, but I thought someone might have specific tips
[06:33] <BlueSummer> Can anyone tell me how to change the computer name? (Made a mistake during installation lol...)
[06:33] <othernoob> lol Seveas: gspot is a prog that'll give you information about media files like like codec used, bitrate..and so on
[06:33] <HappyFool> nalioth: tips like "Don't do it, your system is sure to self-destruct"
[06:33] <ws006> halo.boleh kenalan
[06:34] <nalioth> HappyFool: i recommend using "checkinstall" instead of "make install" (it keeps your system cleaner)
[06:34] <Seveas> robotgeek, mpg321 might be able to tell
[06:34] <HappyFool> checkinstall?
[06:34] <adwait> BlueSummer: System>Administration>Networking
[06:34] <adwait> General tab
[06:34] <HappyFool> nalioth: ta
[06:34] <robotgeek> Seveas: i dunno, never had to use it...
[06:34] <Seveas> robotgeek, on ubuntu, use: mpg321 -o esd
[06:34] <BlueSummer> adwait, ty
[06:35] <Njal_> anyone know about fsck and reiserfs?
[06:35] <adwait> bluesummer: np
[06:35] <adwait> Njal_: wht abt them?
[06:35] <robotgeek> Seveas: i mostly convert all the files to .avi, and then watch on ubuntu! no codec hell!
[06:35] <zetor> hello!
[06:35] <Seveas> robotgeek, objections agains a little flood in PM?
[06:35] <adwait> hello zetor
[06:35] <Seveas> ah .avi
[06:35] <Seveas> mpg321 is only for audio
[06:35] <robotgeek> Seveas: :)
[06:36] <Njal_> Um well i have had to uncleanly umount my drives and i have errors on my File system what's the command to use fsck for reiser?
[06:36] <Njal_> As my normal shutdown -rF now hasn't fixed the problems
[06:36] <kenny> reiser dosnt have a fsck
[06:36] <Njal_> y not?
[06:36] <Evans> -i
[06:36] <kenny> because it smarter than NTFS
[06:37] <adwait> umm.......i thought reiser is a journalled FS and it aotu recovers data
[06:37] <adwait> *auto
[06:37] <Njal_> Ok are you telling me it self heals?
[06:37] <Seveas> ehm, reiser has fsck too
[06:37] <adwait> i think thts wht i read..........not sure though.......never used it
[06:37] <Seveas> especially handy since reiser craps out heavily if it craps out...
[06:37] <bhna> Njal_: reiserfsck
[06:38] <Seveas> fsck.reiserfs / fsck.reiser4
[06:38] <bhna> Njal_: check man reiserfsck
[06:38] <Njal_> how do i execute it? like so shutdown -r reiserfsck?
[06:38] <Blue_Summer> !repositories
[06:38] <ubotu> I heard repositories is http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/AddingRepositoriesHowto
[06:39] <nalioth_wrkn> HappyFool: i recommend ./configure && make && sudo checkinstall    for all your install needs (fromm source)
[06:39] <ceu> k3b should be launched using sudo?
[06:39] <Amaranth> there
[06:39] <Amaranth> stupid thing
[06:39] <bhna> ceu: no
[06:39] <HappyFool> nalioth_wrkn: great. am looking at checkinstall now
[06:39] <Njal_> can i run this reiser check on a mounted file sytem?
[06:39] <HappyFool> nalioth_wrkn: problem is that old alsa (1.0.8) will still be around
[06:41] <Tyler> well
[06:41] <Tyler> ...
[06:41] <ceu> bhna: but cdrecord & cdrdao need root rights
[06:42] <Njal_> how do i execute reiserfsck?
[06:42] <Njal_> It needs to be on an umounted file system
[06:42] <gbic> I have a question for the masses...I am using AppGate to tunnel into work, it uses loopback in brrowser to goto OWA (Outlook Web...) when I try to connect to https://<IP_ADDRESS> I get an error saying "Connection was refused"
[06:43] <Amaranth> gbic: It's either not running or on another port
[06:43] <gbic> It is running, I assure you
[06:43] <adwait> gbic: try nmap localhost to see if the https port is open
[06:43] <gbic> if it wasnt I would be at my work fixing the server
[06:44] <gbic> adwait it isnt
[06:44] <adwait> 443
[06:44] <adwait> u running apache2?
[06:44] <Njal_> reiserfs on umounted file system, how?
[06:44] <Njal_> fsck
[06:45] <Amaranth> Njal_: If the partition isn't mounted just running fsck on it should work
[06:45] <beginnerMKII> Hi guys, ive just installed Ubuntu on an old computer, I am trying to get an external alcatel speedtouch Wanadoo ADSL broadband modem installed from the cd-rom provided, ive read the helpfile and it only mentions installing to XP or macOS, i am new to linux and when i try and open most of the files from the cd including setup.exe i get "Couldn't display /media/cdrom0/exe/Dr.SpeedTouch/setup.exe", any idea's guys? Is it possible?
[06:45] <adwait> Njal_:if u r asking the command...no idea? if u are asking how to unmount.......sudo umount /dev/whtever
[06:45] <adwait> beginnerMK11L: the CD won't work.....
[06:45] <gbic> I dont have apache running no
[06:45] <Tsukasa> beginnerMKII, maybe you shouldn't try to install windows drivers on linux
[06:45] <beginnerMKII> lol
[06:46] <beginnerMKII> I thought that might be it
[06:46] <adwait> beginnerMK11: try their site for linux.........
[06:46] <Njal_> No the default fsck is for ext3 and the command for that would be sudo shutdown -rF now, however i have reiserfs and that requires a special command
[06:46] <adwait> beginnerMKII: how do u connect in windows? do u know if it uses PPPoE or PPPoA?
[06:46] <gbic> How can I get it to listen on localhost 443
[06:46] <beginnerMKII> It mentions something on installing for some linux platforms but i cannot find where in the helpfile
[06:46] <Njal_> reiserfsck /dev/hd**
[06:47] <beginnerMKII> I'm not sure to be honest, it refers to "PPoE and PPPoA" in the installing on macOS though, its foreign to me :-/
[06:47] <Tsukasa> since it's wannadoo i guess PPPoE
[06:47] <JavaOnLinux> Hi all, I have problems playing sounds in ubuntu.  My sound is working for normal gnome windows events but when I play movies in totem or other players, it doesn't play, any help?

[06:48] <kyncani> JavaOnLinux: you using totem-xine or totem-gstreamer ?
[06:48] <Tsukasa> ya, found it on ubuntuforums, it downloads the correct drivers, repacks them and moves necessary files an creates symlinks
[06:48] <Tsukasa> very handy
[06:48] <JavaOnLinux> kyncani, xine

[06:50] <Tsukasa> I'll upload it since I don't find the thread ^^;
[06:50] <JavaOnLinux> I heard that sometimes sound cannot be worked for multiple apps because the device is locked, but I forgot what to do to enable that capabiilty
[06:50] <kyncani> JavaOnLinux: i thought xine was able to autodetect esd and use it, try opening your movie with xine
[06:50] <ompaul> uchinan, please turn off that notification there are only 466 people in the channel
[06:51] <kyncani> JavaOnLinux: that's why i use esd, so that multiple apps can play sound at the same time

[07:00] <Blue_Summer> Anyone know where i can get a kick ass thing that makes my boxes transparent? lol
[07:00] <goldfish> Blue_Summer: Oi.
[07:00] <goldfish> Blue_Summer: I told you yesterday :)
[07:01] <matt_> tsukasa how do I finish off the rest of the install
[07:01] <Blue_Summer> goldfish,  ahh but i have a short memory span ;)
[07:01] <Tsukasa> matt_, you open a terminal
[07:01] <matt_> k
[07:01] <Tsukasa> sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:01] <Tsukasa> and follow the instructions given by the script
[07:01] <matt_> You must manually configure /etc/X11/xorg.conf however, and
[07:01] <matt_> then reboot.
[07:02] <Tsukasa> you've a x800 you said?
[07:02] <matt_> yes
[07:02] <Echelon-H> hi
[07:03] <adwait> echelon-h: hello
[07:04] <bluefoxicy> i have no sound
[07:04] <kenny> bluefox have you tried turning up the volume
[07:05] <solar_ant> hiiiii
[07:05] <flodine> skel how is breezy running
[07:06] <Discipulus> DVD playback is kinda choppy
[07:06] <eno> how do I find out my ip adress?  I want to set up a network.
[07:06] <adwait> bluefox: since installation? or since u did something?
[07:06] <Discipulus> same with the audio
[07:06] <Discipulus> how do I fix that?
[07:06] <Tsukasa> Discipulus, check if you're using xv
[07:06] <Tsukasa> without xv playback is _really_ choppy
[07:06] <lsuactiafner> Discipulus : also, make sure dma is enabled
[07:06] <spola> how do i set it up so ubuntu uses my CPU for "noble causes" when im not doing stuff ?
[07:07] <goldfish> LOL
[07:07] <lsuactiafner> hdparm -d 1  /dev/cdrom
[07:07] <pedingto> lol
[07:07] <lsuactiafner> but dont play with hdparm
[07:07] <goldfish> spola: what noble causes?
[07:07] <lsuactiafner> its dangerous
[07:07] <lsuactiafner> but
[07:07] <Discipulus> Tsukasa, sv?
[07:07] <lsuactiafner> Discipulus : might make things faster
[07:07] <Discipulus> Tsukasa, xv rather?
[07:07] <Tsukasa> I'd always go with xv
[07:07] <lsuactiafner> spola : FAH@home
[07:07] <spola> i heard about curing cancer and finding aliens n stuff
[07:07] <Echelon-H> can anyone help me with some hardware problem (not linux specific)?
[07:07] <Discipulus> Tsukasa, what's xv?
[07:07] <goldfish> spola: em, are u joking?
[07:08] <Tsukasa> an accelerated media layer
[07:08] <lsuactiafner> spola : cancer ->> http://folding.stanford.edu
[07:08] <toshiba_> Is anyone here using XFCE on top of ubuntu?
[07:08] <Echelon-H> toshiba_, me
[07:08] <adwait> echelon-h: ask away........theres gotta be someone who can help
[07:08] <lsuactiafner> but aliens is a waste of time
[07:08] <solar_ant> hey
[07:08] <spola> thx
[07:08] <lsuactiafner> radio waves travel too slow in space
[07:08] <spola> yeah i wasnt going to do the alien stuff
[07:08] <flodine> anyone running breezy
[07:08] <solar_ant> how do i login as root
[07:08] <solar_ant> in ubuntu ?
[07:08] <Tsukasa> solar_ant, sudo su
[07:09] <toshiba_> Echelon-H, how did you get to the "network interface" panel (if there's such a thing)..
[07:09] <adwait> solar_ant: theres no root acc in ubuntu
[07:09] <Echelon-H> Well when the boot comes up, It says something like Fixed Disk 0..... and I have to pres F1 to resume (Intel G850GB Motherboard). It seems that everytime it happens i can't playback from my DVD, but when it doesn't i can.
[07:09] <solar_ant> then how do i configure the system ?
[07:09] <Echelon-H> toshiba_, no clue what you're talkign about, sorry
[07:09] <adwait> solar_ant: use sudo
[07:09] <Tsukasa> sudo nano this, sudo nano that
[07:09] <adwait> or......try Applications>System Apps>root terminal
[07:09] <Tsukasa> or sudo su
[07:09] <Discipulus> what's xv?
[07:09] <adwait> *system tools
[07:10] <toshiba_> Echelon-H, How do you set your network interface cards in XFCE?..
[07:10] <solar_ant> its asking for the passwor
[07:10] <solar_ant> when i type it says
[07:10] <Tsukasa> Discipulus, you know this really fast media thing in windows?
[07:10] <solar_ant> some error
[07:10] <adwait> enter ur password
[07:10] <Tsukasa> direct media or something
[07:10] <adwait> solar_ant: enter the user pass there....and u should ge tin
[07:10] <Echelon-H> toshiba_, then again, i don't have a clue what you're talking about. soory im kinda noob
[07:10] <Discipulus> Tsukasa, no
[07:10] <solar_ant> it says
[07:10] <Tsukasa> well Discipulus , think of it as the turbocharger for playing media files on linux
[07:10] <solar_ant> child terminated with error status 1
[07:10] <Discipulus> Tsukasa, what's the command to get it and use it?
[07:11] <Tsukasa> well, it gets installed along with your system
[07:11] <Discipulus> alright, how do I use it?
[07:11] <Tsukasa> you can look if it's working by typing "xvinfo" in a terminal
[07:11] <adwait> solar_ant: try rebooting and try.......tht error generally goes away
[07:11] <adwait> awfuully window esque :p
[07:12] <Tsukasa> a little sidenote: when you get lots of crappy informations you don't need for screen 0 but nothing for screen 1 this means you can use xv only on screen 0
[07:12] <beginnerMKII> I have gone to format a floppy and i am getting "Cannot initialise device, The device /dev/floppy/0 or dev/fd0 is disconnected Please attach device to continue.
[07:12] <solar_ant> i tried
[07:12] <Discipulus> alright, what's screen 0 and screen 1?
[07:12] <solar_ant> adwait
[07:13] <solar_ant> doesnt help
[07:13] <beginnerMKII> What does that mean??  ...
[07:13] <Discipulus> I don't even see "screen 1" on xvinfo
[07:13] <Tsukasa> well, screen 0 is the thing you stare it
[07:13] <adwait> solar_ant: hmm.....well if the password is wrong it would hv said so...it doesnt sat child process terminated etc etc....
[07:13] <Tsukasa> screen 1 can be a secondary monitor or tv out
[07:13] <Tsukasa> depending on your config
[07:13] <Discipulus> ah, alright
[07:14] <Tsukasa> as long as it doesn't say "no adaptors found" xv should work
[07:14] <Discipulus> it's still moving kinda choppy
[07:14] <solar_ant> child process terminated
[07:14] <adwait> anybody else .....any idea abt this?
[07:14] <Discipulus> well, sound is, dvd isn't
[07:14] <solar_ant> no thats the password i logged in with
[07:14] <Tsukasa> Discipulus, try to use ALSA for sound
[07:14] <solar_ant> it aint wrong for sure
[07:14] <adwait> gksudo giving chuld process terminated
[07:14] <Tsukasa> btw, what media player do you use?
[07:15] <goldfish> vlc
[07:15] <Discipulus> Tsukasa, how do you configure totem to use alsa?
[07:15] <Discipulus> or how do you use alsa instead of esd?
[07:15] <eno> will fdisk -l show my usb storage device as well?
[07:15] <Tsukasa> well, I wouldn't use totem in the first place
[07:15] <Tsukasa> try totem-xine
[07:15] <Tsukasa> or use gxine
[07:15] <goldfish> eno: it should if it's connected
[07:15] <Tsukasa> the best mediaplayers imho
[07:15] <goldfish> vlc is !
[07:15] <goldfish> :)
[07:16] <anne> hello :)
[07:16] <Tsukasa> ya, vlc and xine are #1
[07:16] <anne> I'm new to ubuntu
[07:16] <Tsukasa> but I like xine a _bit_ more ;)
[07:16] <anne> How can I remove/add items into the gnome menu ?
[07:16] <eno> thanks!
[07:16] <Tsukasa> anne, by using "smeg"
[07:16] <Proteque> I must say I prefer mplayer over both of them.
[07:16] <Discipulus> wow, gxine works a lot better
[07:16] <Discipulus> audio isn't choppy anymore
[07:16] <Discipulus> thanks
[07:16] <Tsukasa> :)
[07:16] <anne> Tsukasa, thnaks
[07:16] <flodine> skel you in
[07:17] <Tsukasa> well, vlc in hoary64 isn't so nice because of the fullscreen matter
[07:17] <Tsukasa> that's why I prefer xine
[07:17] <solar_ant> is there anyone who knows whats the problem ?
[07:18] <kenny> problem for what
[07:18] <HappyFool> solar_ant: you're having sudo problems? what happens when you run sudo from the command line?
[07:18] <Discipulus> hmm, how do you set what's in the Gnome application paneL/
[07:18] <solar_ant> sude what ?
[07:18] <Tsukasa> Discipulus, the answer is "smeg" again :)
[07:18] <solar_ant> sudo what ?
[07:18] <Discipulus> smeg?
[07:18] <Tsukasa> it's a menu editor
[07:18] <kenny> Discipulus download and install menu-editor for gnome
[07:19] <adwait> solarsolar_ant: ok well......try sudo -i
[07:19] <Tsukasa> but the problem with smeg is that it fubars your menu sometimes
[07:19] <adwait> tht will give u a root terminal
[07:19] <HappyFool> solar_ant: perhaps i jumped the gun -- what is your problem ?
[07:19] <kenny> run smeg as sudo
[07:19] <solar_ant> solar is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[07:19] <kenny> i do that with menu-editor
[07:19] <solar_ant> thats what it says
[07:19] <solar_ant> and solar is my usewr name
[07:19] <goldfish> solar_ant: any other accounts on the system?
[07:19] <beowu1f> any dell m70 users here?
[07:19] <adwait> solar_ant: whts the first user created on this system?
[07:20] <goldfish> dell i8600 ....
[07:20] <HappyFool> solar_ant: what does 'id -u' say?
[07:20] <robotgeek> haha, looks like now the battle has moved on to media players, from the traditional emacs vs vi discussions!
[07:20] <HappyFool> robotgeek: hah! i bet i could watch dvd's in emacs.
[07:20] <HappyFool> maybe via aalib
[07:21] <robotgeek> HappyFool: sure, emacs is a great OS...i was thinking of dualbooting....
[07:21] <kenny> the best media players are Totem-xine and Beep media player
[07:21] <Tsukasa> vlc with ascii renderer!!!!!!!11
[07:21] <lsuactiafner> rofl
[07:21] <robotgeek> kenny: i like mp3blaster
[07:21] <lsuactiafner> i also run mp3blaster
[07:21] <lsuactiafner> rofl
[07:21] <goldfish> robotgeek: it rocks.
[07:21] <lsuactiafner> it rocks!
[07:21] <goldfish> you guys use cplay?
[07:21] <costoa> what emacs really needs is a good text editor =)
[07:22] <nameless1> i was doin a tutorial to add more codecs to totem, anyway... the very last line was     ls -s /usr/local/lib/codecs/*      and i get what they were tryin to do, tryin to get everythin in that dir listed in some file or something..... anyway i get a error it says when making multiple links the last argument must be a directory,  any advice for a noob?
[07:22] <goldfish> cplay is a great cli audio player.
[07:22] <robotgeek> costoa: you can get that by putting in the vi compatibility mode!
[07:22] <costoa> I've seen it. too funny.
[07:22] <anne> Tsukasa, I test smeg and I hide some menus but there are always into my gnome menu, why ?
[07:22] <HappyFool> nameless1: you must have typed 'ln -s', not 'ls -s'
[07:23] <anne> I run update-menu fater but it's the same
[07:23] <nameless1> happyfool, i thought u were right for a second but its got ln in my shell history
[07:23] <Tsukasa> anne: killall gnome-panel or try to restart gnome
[07:23] <HappyFool> nameless1: ... so do you want ln or ls ?
[07:23] <robotgeek> Tsukasa: is there really such a thing? :)
[07:23] <nameless1> nameless1@ubuntu:~/.gnome2/totem-addons$ ln -s /usr/local/lib/codecs/*
[07:23] <nameless1> ln: when making multiple links, last argument must be a directory
[07:24] <HappyFool> nameless1: is ln the correct command, from the tutorial?
[07:24] <Tsukasa> robotgeek: the vlc ascii renderer? I've seen it
[07:24] <nameless1> i know what ls is i dont know what ln is, the tutorial said to use ln
[07:24] <HappyFool> nameless1: if so, try 'ln -s /usr/local/lib/codecs/* .'
[07:24] <Tsukasa> a friend of mine was using it to watch matrix
[07:24] <Tsukasa> he said it's the best running gag ever
[07:24] <nameless1> its meant to add codecs to the vid thing totem
[07:24] <anne> Tsukasa, ok I deconnect.... bye :)
[07:24] <HappyFool> nameless1: 'ls' is used to list files in a directory
[07:24] <beowu1f> goldfish: using pci experess card?
[07:24] <robotgeek> :)
[07:24] <HappyFool> nameless1: 'ln' is used to create symbolic links
[07:24] <nameless1> ahh thanx
[07:25] <goldfish> beowu1f: nope :/
[07:26] <nameless1> i was usin ln and the tutorial said to use ln but its not workin im doin EXACTLy what it says to do over on wiki.ubuntu
[07:26] <nameless1> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingCodecsToTotemHowTo?highlight=%28codec%29
[07:27] <sean_> anyone know how i can remove the titlebar and borders from a window with gnome?
[07:27] <sean_> (like xmms)
[07:27] <HappyFool> nameless1: what isn't working?
[07:27] <robotgeek> hey..cplay is nice, it handles spaces in filenames better than mp3blaster
[07:27] <nameless1> its meant to make a list of lots of files
[07:27] <nameless1> and it isnt
[07:28] <robotgeek> though, it seems to messup on audio!
[07:28] <nameless1> could it be becuase i forgot to put the * on the 1st time i hit enter?
[07:28] <XhyldazhK> Hi all
[07:28] <HappyFool> nameless1: possibly. you need to be exactly correct when entering these commands
[07:28] <XhyldazhK> I dist-upgraded to breezy, but I cannot find nvidia-glx and thus I have not gfx accel... waht should i do?????
[07:28] <adwait> hi <wierd name i couldnt possibly type>
[07:28] <jamey3> How do you browse NFS shares on Ubuntu? Thanks, jamey
[07:28] <XhyldazhK> hi adwait
[07:28] <HappyFool> XhyldazhK: you should probably not run breezy if you don't want problems
[07:29] <Tsukasa> topic says it all
[07:29] <nameless1> nameless1@ubuntu:~/.gnome2/totem-addons$ ln -s /usr/local/lib/codecs/*
[07:29] <nameless1> ln: when making multiple links, last argument must be a directory
[07:29] <nameless1> nameless1@ubuntu:~/.gnome2/totem-addons$
[07:29] <HappyFool> nameless1: you need to add a . at the end
[07:29] <nameless1> that looks exactly correct to me...
[07:29] <XhyldazhK> HappyFool, I like to mess around with things, if I didn't liked it, I were running windows, I like cutting edge
[07:29] <HappyFool> XhyldazhK: then you should like figuring out how to install the nvidia driver ;)
[07:29] <nameless1> it made a dir called *.
[07:29] <nameless1> that cant be right
[07:30] <HappyFool> nameless1: it's not. on the wiki there's a period at the end
[07:30] <XhyldazhK> HappyFool, I know... download it from nvidia and blah blah blah... but there isn't a ubuntu deb with it anymore?
[07:30] <HappyFool> nameless1: the exact command is "ln -s /usr/local/lib/codecs/* ."   <- there's a space between * and .
[07:30] <ceu> /usr/bin/cdrdao should be root:root 0755 or root:cdrom 4754 (like debian) ?
[07:30] <nameless1> i trid both
[07:30] <HappyFool> XhyldazhK: not a clue, sorry
[07:30] <nameless1> i have tried that too....
[07:31] <nameless1> oops
[07:31] <nameless1> sry

[07:34] <jamey3> Can someone help me?
[07:34] <kenny> ill try to help jamey3
[07:34] <adwait> jamey3: apparently not
[07:34] <geneo93> i need a hardware expert
[07:34] <goldfish> jamey3: whats wrong?
[07:34] <jamey3> kenny, thanks
[07:34] <jamey3> here:
[07:34] <jamey3> How do you browse NFS shares on Ubuntu? Thanks, jamey
[07:34] <jamey3> I thought it would be mighty simple
[07:34] <kenny> ohh dear im screwed i dont know
[07:35] <kenny> i think you have to install samba
[07:35] <sensayshun> Does anyone know how I get glxgears to show my fps?
[07:35] <Tsukasa> yeah, you need samba first
[07:35] <kenny> that deals with all that netwroking sharing stuff
[07:35] <HappyFool> sensayshun: run it from the command line
[07:35] <kenny> am i right Tsukasa
[07:35] <Tsukasa> after that you can access the computers by smb://computername/share
[07:35] <geneo93> run it from terminal
[07:35] <Tsukasa> yes you are
[07:35] <kenny> Gold star for kenny
[07:35] <sensayshun> HappyFool, what would be the command for that sorry?
[07:35] <kenny> *
[07:36] <HappyFool> sensayshun: glxgears
[07:36] <jamey3> Tsukasa, but I thought Samba was for Windows exclusively?
[07:36] <sensayshun> happyfool, thanks :)
[07:36] <jamey3> Tsukasa, isn't NFS almost native to most Linux distros?
[07:36] <solar_ant> no other id in the system
[07:36] <Tsukasa> samba handles everything, even the universe itself :)
[07:36] <solar_ant> and it was created just few days ago
[07:36] <solar_ant> and also
[07:36] <jamey3> lmao
[07:36] <jamey3> Tsukasa, really?!?
[07:36] <Tsukasa> I'm pretty sure
[07:36] <othernoob> mmh, when i try to reboot or turn my pc off, my screen just goes black and then stops. any idea what could be wrong?
[07:36] <Tsukasa> ;)
[07:37] <solar_ant> sudo -i says
[07:37] <solar_ant> solar is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[07:37] <HappyFool> solar_ant: what does 'id -u' say?
[07:37] <kenny> othernoob i think it something to do with ACPI or somesomthing like that
[07:37] <adwait> solar_ant: who was the first user created
[07:37] <HappyFool> adwait: i'm getting deja vu here ;)
[07:37] <othernoob> kenny: well how do i fix it?
[07:37] <adwait> hehe....
[07:37] <solar_ant> adait
[07:37] <solar_ant> solar
[07:38] <kenny> You have to have a copmuter Bios that supports it ithink
[07:38] <solar_ant> happyfool - "solar is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported."
[07:38] <HappyFool> solar_ant: the output of 'id -u' is ?
[07:38] <HappyFool> solar_ant: not 'sudo', 'id -u'
[07:38] <jamey3> Tsukasa, I will install all the Samba packages and get back to you. If this works, I will cyber-hug you ;)
[07:38] <jamey3> lmao
[07:38] <othernoob> kenny: my pc ran fine for 2 months. it just started yesterday
[07:38] <kenny> or maybe reinstalling ubuntu
[07:38] <geneo93> i have a 3dfx voodoo banshee that wont work with warty or hoary
[07:38] <solar_ant> 1000
[07:38] <kenny> ohh right
[07:38] <solar_ant> HappyFool,  1000
[07:39] <kenny> try reinstalling acpi support from apt-get
[07:39] <HappyFool> solar_ant: you sudoers file is broken
[07:39] <HappyFool> solar_ant: how did you install ubuntu
[07:39] <HappyFool> ?
[07:39] <othernoob> kenny: i wouldn't know what i could possibly have changed besides installing wine
[07:39] <kenny> othernoob im not completly sure
[07:39] <HappyFool> solar_ant: and what settings have you tweaked?
[07:39] <solar_ant> i used a cd HappyFool
[07:39] <kenny> it migh be the deamon isnt started ot is disabled
[07:39] <solar_ant> and i used the multi user workstation option
[07:40] <solar_ant> i didnt touch the settings HappyFool
[07:40] <othernoob> kenny how do i check that
[07:40] <HappyFool> hrm
[07:40] <solar_ant> i just installed and i am not able to change settings
[07:40] <solar_ant> lol
[07:40] <HappyFool> i'm not familiar with the various install options -- is multiuser the 'normal' install option? (anyone?)
[07:41] <solar_ant> lol
[07:41] <james__> Hi, just quick question. How good is Cedega compared to WineTools etc
[07:41] <solar_ant> no it makes 8 partitions
[07:41] <solar_ant> could that be the problem ?
[07:41] <adwait> HappyFool: i believe it is
[07:41] <Tsukasa> cedega is completely different from winetools
[07:41] <HappyFool> solar_ant: 8 ?
[07:41] <solar_ant> but still it must work shouldnt it ???
[07:41] <solar_ant> yeah
[07:41] <solar_ant> or is anyone of the partition unmunted ?
[07:41] <solar_ant> brb
[07:41] <Tsukasa> cedega is for gaming purposes, winetools is a handy tool for setting up wine
[07:42] <adwait> solar_ant: i dont see how any of tht could have anything to do with this
[07:42] <jamey3> does anyone know an *easy to use* mail server for Linux? This is the only sector where I feel like blowing the dust off my Windows CDs...
[07:42] <Seveas> you called..?
[07:42] <Heimdall> is there someone here who know some irc download servers ?
[07:42] <HappyFool> Seveas: yeah
[07:42] <adwait> jamey3: sendmail, postfix
[07:42] <othernoob> kenny if acpid is running it shouldnt be acpid causing the problem, right?
[07:42] <Seveas> Thou may speak to me now :)
[07:42] <james__> I mean ios Codega easier to use? So far ive managed to install a few programs with Wine, accept none will run. (One Will load then boot out)
[07:42] <Teatimer> hello all I got a quick question, how do I go about installing a .gz file?
[07:42] <HappyFool> Seveas: solar_ant has broken  his install. sudo doesn't work. He said he used the 'multiuser workstation' install -- is that the default?
[07:43] <HappyFool> Seveas: he also claims to have tweaked nothing
[07:43] <Tsukasa> james__, as I said: For games definetively yes, for applications: no
[07:43] <Seveas> solar_ant, did you use any special boot parameters on the install cd?
[07:43] <james__> Ah
[07:43] <james__> Thats a shame, I was looking to run program's such as Lightwave etc
[07:43] <HappyFool> Seveas: i think he's away, sorry
[07:43] <Seveas> hmm ok
[07:43] <jamey3> Teatimer, you need to "gzip -d name-of-file.gz"
[07:43] <jamey3> or you can use the Archive Manager
[07:44] <HappyFool> Seveas: if he reboots in recovery mode and adds himself to the admin group, i presume things will be fixed?
[07:44] <jamey3> Teatimer, then run the setup script "in the terminal" (when prompted)
[07:44] <Teatimer> ah ok cheers jamey. in that case then I have used the archive manager but I am still not "installing" the program
[07:44] <jamey3> oh what are you doing with it then?
[07:44] <gorbael> hi
[07:45] <Seveas> that depends
[07:45] <Teatimer> jamey3 all am left with is a THEFILE_2.4_i686
[07:45] <geneo93> Seveas:  whos the best video card guy here
[07:45] <Teatimer> it has the blue diamond binary icon
 anyone here use radeon 9200? havin trouble getting it installed, i so sh make.sh from
[07:46] <lsuactiafner>                /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod and get error 1
[07:46] <lsuactiafner> linux-2.6.12
[07:46] <Seveas> geneo93, ENOCLUE, just ask ans people will answer
[07:46] <Seveas> it's most certainly not me
[07:46] <adwait> im gonna get going ppl....bbye
[07:46] <james__> Im having a tad trouble with my ATI Radeon 9800, installed the drivers and regardles of what i do with the xorg config file it won;t boot
[07:46] <synthetic_> Hey, everyone, I just upgraded from Warty to hoary but i'm having some trouble
[07:47] <Seveas> synthetic_, that's not nice. What is the problem..?
[07:47] <geneo93> well i have this 3dfx card that just wont work with warty or hoary
[07:47] <lsuactiafner> also havin troulble with ATI, seems they dont have good linux support like nvidia
[07:47] <synthetic_> I can't figure out how to set up my wireless connection, for one, and also i have no sound and my USB mouse isn't being recognized
[07:47] <Teatimer> jamey3, any ideas?
[07:47] <jamey3> Teatimer, what type of file is it?
[07:47] <nameless1> happyfool, do u know how i was havin that codec problem? well i got all the files to get listed.... when i tried to run a *.avi *.wmv and a *.asf it said no codec found... in the list it has lots of them tho, at 1st they were "locked" but i just did a quick chmod to fix that and it still doesnt work, any ideas?
[07:47] <Tsukasa> ati and linux is really bad, even with drivers working you've a miserable performance
[07:47] <jamey3> Tsukasa, I noticed
[07:47] <Teatimer> jamey3, I presume it is a binary I am extracting as it has the blue diamond like icon
[07:47] <jamey3> Tsukasa, my wieldy Radeon 9200 crawls along even with the "proper" modules
[07:48] <Seveas> Tsukasa, and moreover, fglrx totally FUBARs hibernate...
[07:48] <lsuactiafner> jamey3 : mine doesnt compile?
[07:48] <jamey3> Seveas, exactly
[07:48] <HappyFool> nameless1: i think asfs are streaming, and won't work
[07:48] <Tsukasa> I've got only 7-8k on glxgears with a x800 - that's a bit poor I think
[07:48] <scizho> nameless1 : get gstreamer
[07:48] <jamey3> lsuactiafner, really how come?
[07:48] <jamey3> Teatimer, have you tried running it?
[07:48] <lsuactiafner> jamey3 : how did you get drivers to run?
[07:48] <lsuactiafner> can i priv you?
[07:48] <nameless1> yeh i tried a few i tried wmv\avi\asf\and i think a quick time if i remember right
[07:48] <HappyFool> nameless1: and maybe the wmv is too new -- isn't there a new ms codec out ?
[07:48] <HappyFool> nameless1: does mplayer work ?
[07:49] <lsuactiafner> make[2] : *** [/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x/agpgart_be.o]  Error 1
[07:49] <synthetic_> I don't understand, Warty recognized my USB mouse right away
[07:49] <Teatimer> jamey3, I haven't tried from a command prompt, just double clicking and nothing happens
[07:49] <nameless1> i dont think i have installed it i did a clean fromat did the update and then tried to install that codec
[07:49] <jamey3> lsuactiafner, were you talking to me about PM'ing? If so, yes
[07:49] <jamey3> Teatimer, what exactly did you download?
[07:50] <jamey3> oh no not me then haha ;)
[07:50] <Seveas> synthetic_, hmm, cannot help about the mouse. But hoary uses ESD, you might need to let your applications use it
[07:50] <synthetic_> Seveas, what's esd?
[07:50] <nemrod> electro-static discharge :p
[07:50] <Seveas> enlightenment sound deamon, a way of abstracting the sound device
[07:51] <scizho> nameless1 : search for gstreamer in synaptic marg the ffgsteamer am gstreamer-mad (or whta ever sound like that, i cant quite remember) )
[07:51] <synthetic_> How do i set it up?
[07:51] <Seveas> synthetic http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoundProblemsHoary
[07:51] <Seveas> wifi is always hairy, did it work with warty? If so, which driver?
