[05:11] <Aiwuu> its normal if my dvdrom dont read cds or dvds :S (the system stops ><)
[05:11] <jusama15> yes pelo...looking
[05:12] <jusama15> I did find this "Works fine on Dapper 6.06
[05:12] <jusama15> USB Adapter AWLL3026 Works "out of the box"
[05:12] <vox754> crazy_bus: that is not really a Ubuntu question; try it and then tell us.
[05:12] <eck> crazy_bus: i think it is handled by your DE
[05:12] <PuNter> well i just install Ubuntu.. i am newbie.. want to ask how can i install my lancard or how can i check which drivers are not installed
[05:12] <Flannel> jusama15: I'd check launchpad, actually.  Since it could be a bug
[05:13] <vox754> Aiwuu: it is not normal. I can watch DIVX AVI files from my DVD-RW drive okay.
[05:13] <cheeseboy> tonyyarusso: dir.conf does not exist.
[05:13] <cheeseboy> tonyyarusso: I found that in the apache2.conf file
[05:13] <tonyyarusso> cheeseboy: Might be a version difference - sorry
[05:13] <vox754> PuNter: PC, Laptop? PCI, PC Card, USB?
[05:13] <Pelo> PuNter,  check in menu > system > admin > hardware manager ,  if your card is listed it is installed, if not look it up in the forum
[05:14] <AsusM2N-MX> kernel 2.6.20-9 doesnt work my dapper?
[05:14] <jusama15> where is launchpad??
[05:14] <AsusM2N-MX> kernel 2.6.20-9 doesnt work with dapper?
[05:14] <PuNter> vox754: i m using Lamtop
[05:14] <tonyyarusso> jusama15: launchpad.net
[05:14] <PuNter> *laptop
[05:14] <Flannel> cheeseboy: What are you looking for?
[05:14] <mjunx> hey, what button is "Next" in the keybindings?
[05:14] <mjunx> er, keyboard button that is
[05:15] <alienseer23> to get lirc to work at boot, do I need to add it too my xorg.conf file under module, and add an input device?
[05:15] <vox754> AsusM2N-MX: current kernel for 6.10 is 2.6.17-11, so no. You should use stable versions.
[05:15] <jusama15> No products matching AWLL3026 were found.
[05:15] <PuNter> Pelo: Which Platform drivers supported Ubuntu?
[05:15] <dml> mjunx: I'm looking for that too, beryl question?
[05:15] <AsusM2N-MX> d'oh
[05:15] <mjunx> yeah, dml
[05:15] <Pelo> PuNter,  what ?
[05:15] <dml> mjunx: if you find it let me know please.
[05:15] <PuNter> From Where i can download drivers of Ubuntu?
[05:15] <mjunx> well, ctrl+alt+pgdown does something
[05:15] <PuNter> For my Hardware
[05:16] <Flannel> cheeseboy: /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.conf is what you want.  Also, for tonyyarusso's fix, it'd be in your /apache2.conf, in the apache2 dir
[05:16] <mjunx> dml, I think it's the PgDown button
[05:16] <mjunx> because that seems to unfold the cube
[05:16] <Dr_willis> PuNter,  depends on the hardware
[05:16] <jusama15> pelo..
[05:16] <Pelo> PuNter,  you shouldn'T need special drivers,  ubuntu supports most hardware,  but if your network card doesn'T work , look up the model in the forum
[05:16] <vox754> PuNter: drivers come with the Kernel, so if your card is supported it may be already installed. Otherwise you should give details and browse the web.
[05:16] <orange_> what program/package do I need to network kubuntu with 2 xp machines + network printer
[05:16] <Aiwuu> vox754 but, it works on Windows :s
[05:16] <Dr_willis> orange_,  samba
[05:16] <Flannel> !samba | orange_
[05:16] <ubotu> orange_: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[05:17] <orange_> samba is the only thing?:
[05:17] <c0nv1ct> pretty much
[05:17] <Dr_willis> For a good samba background Install 'sudo apt-get install  samba-doc '  and read the Books that wil/usr/share/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs/using_samba " and " /usr/share/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs/ " docs WELL worth reading. l be in ..   "
[05:17] <Pelo> later folks , I gotta go
[05:17] <c0nv1ct> unless you are sharing a printer on the linux box
[05:17] <vox754> Aiwuu: well, that is a bad thing. My DVD-RW works on WinXP and Ubuntu, so I'm happy.
[05:17] <eck> orange_: for network printer you may not have to do anything
[05:17] <Dr_willis> orange_,  samba is the linux equilivent of the 'network neighborhood' stuff.
[05:17] <iamsam9895> What is the command for setting up an ATI card?
[05:17] <eck> orange_: a lot of network printers run IPP or lpd
[05:18] <PuNter> i need this one Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC
[05:18] <orange_> i tried to install the network printer just now
[05:18] <Dr_willis> or that hpdirectjet
[05:18] <orange_> I hit the scan thing and it didnt pick it up
[05:18] <mjunx> man, these keybindings are like emacs
[05:18] <eck> orange_: try nmapping the printer
[05:18] <mjunx> ctrl-shift-alt-arrow
[05:18] <orange_> how
[05:18] <vox754> PuNter: I think that is well supported by the kernel, you should have little problems, hasve yo tried a cable already.
[05:18] <Dr_willis> i find the scan stuff likes to scan 127.0.0.* by default which i find odd.
[05:18] <eck> e.g. nmap -A <IP_ADDRESS>  where you use the printer's actual ip
[05:18] <jusama15> everyone on forum says that awll3026 should automatically work
[05:18] <Dr_willis> just enter the printers ip. :)
[05:18] <jusama15> any ideas?
[05:18] <dml> mjunx:  thanks a lot
[05:19] <mjunx> no prob
[05:19] <PuNter> vox754 yes i plugged my cable
[05:19] <iamsam9895> What is the command to configure ati drivers?
[05:19] <Flannel> orange_: Read the samba stuff (that url), it's got plenty of info
[05:19] <vox754> jusama15: then what is your question?, type "ifconfig"
[05:19] <mjunx> iamsam9895, aticonfig I think
[05:19] <iamsam9895> oh yeah.
[05:19] <mike1> lo
[05:19] <iamsam9895> sudo aticonfig --initial
[05:20] <iamsam9895> err
[05:20] <eck> if the printer has ipp or lpd you can usually just use the postscript drivers and the printer's ip and be on your way :-)
[05:20] <vox754> PuNter: type ifconfig
[05:20] <Aiwuu> vox754 thanks for your help XDXDXD:P
[05:20] <jusama15> the computer does not detect the card
[05:20] <Aiwuu> i will introduce a CD XD

[05:20] <cheeseboy> .phtml keeps popping up... it's imy php5.conf file and php is running ...
[05:20] <greyspace> Hello, all. Getting a 'no space left on device' error with a new 1GB SD card. kdf shows 285+ MB free, but the card won't accept another byte. No hidden files on the card. Nothing on the forums seems applicable. Any ideas?
[05:20] <cheeseboy> something else I should check?
[05:20] <mike1> computer is locking up - when I boot into safe mode everything is fin.  best way to figure out why it's locking up.
[05:21] <Flannel> cheeseboy: did you restart apache after changing it?
[05:21] <PuNter> vox754 now i m using Redhat.. Linux.  Try to find out which drivers are used on that Kernel and then find a way to install them on Ubuntu. They should be included, but if they don't work you may need to recompile the kernel.
[05:22] <greyspace> Dr_willis: Assuming FAT. Came right out of the package and into the reader.

I can't repair the Bootloader from my Windows, is there any way to either completely remove GRUB from my Primary drive and install it on my External drive only, or would I have to Install GRUB on the Drive itself to fix things.

[05:23] <t35t0r> lshal
[05:23] <vox754> Vaatix: you need a WinXP, you pirate. You bought your laptop from guys wearing patches.
[05:23] <t35t0r> explore in /sys
[05:23] <t35t0r> there are tons of ways
[05:24] <jusama15> you make no sense
[05:24] <Flannel> cheeseboy: and you're sure you restarted apache after changing it?
[05:24] <jusama15> i don't understand that
[05:24] <t35t0r> and you're a noob
[05:24] <jusama15> yeah...
[05:24] <jusama15> that's why i cam here
[05:24] <cheeseboy> Flannel: yes
[05:24] <Flannel> Guys, guys, Keep it civil
[05:24] <vox754> t35t0r: the proper way to answer is like this: type "sudo lspci -v"
[05:24] <Vaatix> Vox, I bought the Laptop legit, came in the box and all preinstalled.
[05:25] <Vaatix> But obviously no disk.
[05:25] <deepbluegene> hi i just followed how-to on ubuntu forums to nstall driver for my nvidia card geforce4 mx 4000 but now X is not starting
[05:25] <deepbluegene> how i can revert back to old driver
[05:25] <Flannel> cheeseboy: I don't know what to say.  Changing the extension of the file to .php and browsing to it works, but .phtml doesnt?
[05:25] <jusama15> how do i know if this tutorial will work with my card?? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Belkin_F5D7050_ver_4000_%28ZyDas_zd1211b_driver%29
[05:25] <t35t0r> lspci doesn't show usb devices
[05:25] <vox754> Vaatix: those bastards. Then you need to get a CD, if you know what I mean...
[05:26] <cheeseboy> Flannel: exactly
[05:26] <t35t0r> lsusb probably your best bet
[05:26] <cheeseboy> bazar eh.
[05:26] <eck> Vaatix: lsusb does :-)
[05:26] <Vaatix> So is there any way I can install GRUB on my Primary drive, and it'll give me the list like it does when I load when I have my drive in?
[05:26] <eck> oops, not to you vaatix
[05:26] <Flannel> cheeseboy: And you're sure you've saved the php5.conf file? (I know it sounds stupid, but... well, I know I've done it before)
[05:26] <t35t0r> Bus 001 Device 003: ID 045e:0040 Microsoft Corp. Wheel Mouse Optical
[05:26] <eck> Vaatix: yes, you need to intall grub to a FAT partition
[05:26] <deepbluegene> i found envy debian script but do not know how to run.please help
[05:26] <cheeseboy> Flannel: 100% sure
[05:26] <mike1> laptop locking up, best way to identify why?
[05:26] <eck> Vaatix: if you put the stage 1.5 files on a FAT partition and your menu.lst you are good
[05:27] <jusama15> so any solutions on getting airlink awll3026 working on ubuntu???
[05:27] <vox754> t35t0r: I know, I wanted to say that you should give proper directions rather than just answering with command names.
[05:27] <Vaatix> Which One? There are three, or do I just choose any. Will it screw up the partition I install it in?
[05:27] <Flannel> cheeseboy: No idea then.  You might ask in #apache.  Since... yeah.  Im stumped.  When you figure it out, come back and let me know.
[05:27] <Vaatix> How would I go about doing that, Eck?
[05:27] <eck> Vaatix: no, all you need to do is copy the grub files into a directory on the FAT partition and point your grub install to it
[05:28] <eck> Vaatix: it is easiest to do from within linux
[05:28] <Vaatix> Then I'll switch into Linux and be back into you in a few minutes.
[05:28] <jusama15> so any solutions on getting airlink awll3026 working on ubuntu???
[05:28] <himawan> hi every one...i have some problem with ati ubuntu driver..., can i get some help..?
[05:29] <rada> hi, if I download installation CD would I be able to install Xwindow?
[05:29] <vox754> jusama15: other than following the links not much help. You can also try "ndiswrapper" which can import drivers from Windows and make them work on Linux.
[05:29] <deepbluegene> how to run file with deb extension from ccommand terminal?
[05:29] <Flannel> deepbluegene: dpkg -i [file]
[05:29] <vox754> rada: YES.
[05:29] <deepbluegene> flannel:thanx
[05:29] <jusama15> will that work with the normal ubuntu interne app? like firefox?
[05:29] <jusama15> and which links?
[05:29] <Flannel> rada: Xwindow?  Yeah.  If you *just* want to install the bare Xwindow, You should get the Alternate CD, install with the "server" option, then you can use the CD to install just plain X server
[05:30] <t35t0r> for f in /sys/bus/usb/devices ; do cat $f/product; done ;
[05:30] <t35t0r> that won't work
[05:30] <jusama15> ?
[05:30] <jusama15> what wont work?
[05:30] <rada> Flannel: I don't know what bare Xwindow is. I just want to use inet, openoffice etc
[05:30] <iamsam9895> While doing the 3rd step I get the error "E: Couldn't find package libgl1-mesa-glx"
[05:30] <iamsam9895> Oops
[05:31] <Vaatix> Annnnd we're back.
[05:31] <eck> Vaatix: ok, you need to first copy /boot/grub to a FAT partition (i think it has to be a primary partition too)
[05:31] <dimeotane> whats the best package for making charts and graphs on ubuntu?
[05:31] <Flannel> rada: alright, you just want a standard installation of Ubuntu.  So yes, downloading the (Desktop or Alternate) CD will let you do that.
[05:31] <iamsam9895> Go here   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver#head-c0b2e4234d5129b5b16509e8dcf5685e001dfd1e
[05:31] <iamsam9895> While doing the 3rd step I get the error "E: Couldn't find package libgl1-mesa-glx"
[05:31] <dimeotane> "best" being user friendly
[05:31] <eck> Vaatix: you can just mount the partition and use cp -r
[05:32] <eck> or nautilus, or whatever
[05:32] <t35t0r> Poor mans lsusb: for f in /sys/bus/usb/devices/* ; do cat $f/product; done 2>&1 | grep -v "directory"
[05:32] <vox754> rada: X Window is a system that allows to view windows just like in Windows. By your description, you just install Ubuntu and you are set, Openoffice is already insatlled.
[05:32] <Vaatix> How do I do that? Is it accessible through Linux's normal GUI, or do I have to go into the terminal?
[05:32] <Vaatix> Mounting it?
[05:32] <mindframe-> anyone know about installing quake3 on 64 bit system>
[05:32] <Flannel> t35t0r: Why does a poor man need that?  when lsusb works fine and already exists?
[05:32] <vox754> rada: You can install Open Office in Windows XP too, if you just want that. Browse the web for the Open CD.
[05:33] <t35t0r> because i said so
[05:33] <dimeotane> "poor man"  hah ubuntu is free.. .now if only it came with free hardware
[05:33] <hendaus> hi
[05:33] <Luofei> how could i backup my installed package when i need reinstall my Ubuntu and than have a rapid recovery
[05:33] <Vaatix> Alright, I'm in /boot/grub with the File Browser.
[05:33] <eck> Vaatix: try something like: sudo mkdir -p /mnt/fat && sudo mount /dev/fat_device_here /mnt/fat
[05:33] <vox754> mindframe-: have you been here asking this same question before?
[05:33] <rada> vox754: ok thank you. I mean I want to install linux and use these apps
[05:33] <mindframe-> VoX, no this si the first time ive asked that question
[05:33] <himawan> please help..me..
[05:34] <rada> Flannel: you mean CD Image for desktop and laptop PCs ?
[05:34] <eck> Vaatix: then copy over the grub stuff with: sudo cp -r /boot/grub /mnt/fat
[05:34] <Flannel> rada: yeah, that's one of them.  That'll work fine
[05:34] <vox754> mindframe-: well I remember a guy asking that, and nobody answered, sorry.
[05:35] <hendaus> can anyone help thanx, i have the phone manager open and i dont know how to configure the connection it says bluetooth serial port and i put other port coz i am using usb
[05:35] <eck> Vaatix: if the device was automounted you can just use the gui
[05:35] <Vaatix> So I put sudo mkdir -p /mnt/fat && sudo mount /dev/fat_device_here /mnt/fat into the Terminal (Replacing fat_device_here with the name of the Primary Drive) and then do sudo cp -r /boot/grub /mnt/fat ?
[05:35] <hendaus> my celphone is nokia 6230
[05:35] <iamsam9895> Where can I find "libgl1-mesa-glx"?
[05:35] <Flannel> iamsam9895: in main
[05:35] <rada> vox754: I am on win now :-) I got wireless home network and I just can't connect via WEP. from win it works fine
[05:35] <iamsam9895> It wont install with apt-get.
[05:35] <Vaatix> Automounted?
[05:35] <himawan> packages.ubuntu.com
[05:35] <Flannel> !info libgl1-mesa-glx
[05:35] <ubotu> libgl1-mesa-glx: A free implementation of the OpenGL API -- GLX runtime. In component main, is optional. Version 6.5.1~20060817-0ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 164 kB, installed size 524 kB
[05:35] <Vaatix> It doesn't show the primary drive anywhere
[05:35] <Flannel> iamsam9895: What odd things have you done to your sources.list?
[05:36] <iamsam9895> Nothing.
[05:36] <eck> Vaatix: yeah, that should mount the drive and copy the directory onto that partition
[05:36] <iamsam9895> Is this becase I'm running dapperdrake?
[05:36] <colbert> When I do this in terminal: "sudo echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" I get permission denied.. can someone help ?
[05:36] <Flannel> iamsam9895: oh, lets look
[05:36] <Vaatix> Alright, here we go.
[05:36] <vox754> rada: A lot of people have that same problem, the WEP encription doesn't work, but it works without it.
[05:36] <iamsam9895> I also haven't updated in a while so...
[05:36] <Flannel> iamsam9895: that package doesn't exist in dapper.  But, also with that, nothing should depend on it in dapper.  What package are you installing?
[05:37] <costal79> don't type  this "
[05:37] <corevette> what are the best lan/multiplayer games for ubuntu?
[05:37] <mike1> my laptop is locking up (getting a sonypi error in the terminal)  where do I start looking.   sonypi seems to be a hardware function
[05:37] <iamsam9895> I'm trying to get my aticard to work properly.
[05:37] <eck> Vaatix: uh, i think the grub directory might need to be a subdirectory of a directory named 'boot', do you know how to move it?
[05:37] <Vaatix> Damnit, there are 5 items with HD in them.
[05:37] <hendaus> can anyone help thanx, i have the phone manager open and i dont know how to configure the connection it says bluetooth serial port and i put other port coz i am using usb i am  using nokia 6230
[05:37] <Vaatix> No, I don't.
[05:38] <pikeshouse88> mike1: http://www.popies.net/sonypi/
[05:38] <vox754> hendaus: cellphones are not that friendly to operating systems, so no luck.
[05:38] <rada> vox754: you mean doesn't work in linux? any other encryption that works?
[05:38] <Flannel> iamsam9895: ah, the section of the HowTo you were following is for Edgy, that's why.  Lets... take alook for a dapper one on that page
[05:38] <corevette> what are the best lan/multiplayer games for ubuntu?
[05:39] <hendaus> vox754,  i have nokia suite program but from windows, can i use it with kubuntu?
[05:39] <vox754> rada: NO. It works. I'm using it. What I say, is that some people, their hardware's falut or driver, cannot use it. Who knows? WPA and WPA2 work also.
[05:39] <genii> Any recommendations besides ekiga,skype or gizmoproject for soft phone? Mostly for SIP
[05:39] <iamsam9895> Flannel: I can't find the one for dapper.
[05:39] <wapityyy> hey, anyone here can help me with an AJAX problem? nobody in #ajax is answering
[05:39] <eck> Vaatix: see if you can run nautilus as root and just do it in the gui
[05:39] <vox754> hendaus: I don't think so. That blutooth technology seems very tricky.
[05:39] <eck> e.g. gksu nautilus
[05:40] <Vaatix> What exactly is Nautilus?
[05:40] <eck> the file browser
[05:40] <Flannel> iamsam9895: xserver-xorg-driver-ati  looks to be what you want to install
[05:40] <rada> vox754: so I might get it work...
[05:40] <Vaatix> So log in as root?
[05:40] <iamsam9895> But does it work with old ATI Radeon cars?
[05:40] <Flannel> Vaatix: no.  gksu nautilus
[05:40] <Vaatix> I'm in the dev/boot/ folder as I am now.
[05:41] <Flannel> wapityyy: You should ask in ##javascript.  Or, if you want, #ubuntu-offtopic.
[05:41] <wapityyy> Flannel: ok thx
[05:41] <vox754> rada: If you have the time, you could try various things with your router. You may need to configure the WEP key from the console.
[05:41] <Vaatix> gksu Nautilus?  Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[05:42] <eck> Vaatix: i need to go, i'll be back in about an hour if you can't find someone to finish up for you until then; but basically you need to create a folder at the root of the FAT device called /boot/grub with the grub files in it, and then manually run the grub shell and point it to the right files
[05:42] <Vaatix> So open the terminal for that?
[05:42] <eck> sorry :-\
[05:42] <Flannel> Vaatix: that would work, yeah.
[05:42] <rada> vox754: I did that because I don't know any other way how to change the WEP key.
[05:43] <iamsam9895> Flannel: Also, does that driver offer 3d support?
[05:43] <Vaatix> Okay, thanks Eck.
[05:43] <jusama15> could someone help me install ndiswrapper, i do not understand the wiki for it
[05:43] <himawan> Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0" ............how to resolve that...
[05:43] <Flannel> iamsam9895: I... have no idea.  Check the package description
[05:43] <vox754> jusama15: it is best to get the latest version for ndiswrapper 1.38 from SourceForge.net.
[05:43] <Vaatix> So 'sudo gksu nautilus'...?
[05:43] <bibek> !insult bibek
[05:44] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about insult bibek - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:44] <Flannel> Vaatix: no, sudo is replaced by gksu
[05:44] <jusama15> I did get that
[05:44] <DrStein> hello, I need help configuring a Realtek RTL8029(AS) ethernet card
[05:44] <vox754> You need to compile it so "sudo aptitude install build-essential" and the headers for your kernel.
[05:44] <iamsam9895> Flannel: It doesn't say that it doesn't, but it says that the fglrx driver offer 3d support.
[05:44] <orange_> whats the cmd to find out my ip?
[05:44] <jusama15> it's in a tar.gz file which i extracted
[05:44] <Vaatix> Put 'gksu nautilus' in the terminal, right?
[05:44] <Flannel> jusama15: ndiswrapper is in the repositories (and as such, a nice package)
[05:45] <Flannel> Vaatix: yeah.
[05:45] <Flannel> Vaatix: and, be CAREFUL when doing stuff
[05:45] <vox754> jusama15: the do "sudo make" and "sudo make install", but be sure to remove everything that was installed previously, that is repositories.
[05:45] <rada> vox754: can I have another question? right know I have 6.06 Kubuntu installed on my Acer notebook. the screen resolution is only 1024x768. in windows after installing drivers I can have 1280x800. Can I get this better resolution in linux? if now I can just use Xwindow :-(
[05:45] <voidmage> vox754: I'd run make as a normal use
[05:45] <voidmage> and make install as root
[05:45] <iamsam9895> Is it possible to upgrade to Edgy?  Or does it have to be a complete reinstall?
[05:45] <wapityyy> :( nobody seems alive in javascript or ajax :( anyone here feels like helping me :D ?
[05:45] <Flannel> vox754, jusama15, if you do that, you'll lose the benefits of package management (updates)
[05:46] <Flannel> wapityyy: that's offtopic for this channel, if you want, ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:46] <dunduhnuh> hello
[05:46] <voidmage> iamsam9895: something with 'jksu update-manager'
[05:46] <arrenlex> !hi | dunduhnuh
[05:46] <Vaatix> Alright, I believe I'm in.
[05:46] <Flannel> !upgrade | iamsam9895
[05:46] <ubotu> dunduhnuh: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[05:46] <ubotu> iamsam9895: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[05:46] <iamsam9895> Thanks.
[05:46] <DrStein> please, could someone help me out configuring my ethernet?
[05:46] <genii> iamsam9895: Clean install is best but it is possible to change the repos in /etc/apt/sources.list then do a dis-upgrade. Not recommended
[05:46] <arrenlex> !fixres | rada
[05:46] <ubotu> rada: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[05:46] <iamsam9895> I just don't want to download another disk.
[05:47] <iamsam9895> I'm fine with losing all my data.
[05:47] <Flannel> genii: that's not the preferred update method.  update-manager is recommended, as it mitigates a few issues
[05:47] <jusama15> how do i navigate in the terminal?
[05:47] <dunduhnuh> im havin an issue...yup...ive been reading and it seems as though my wireless card should work with no problem
[05:47] <Vaatix> In /root I only see a Desktop link.
[05:47] <genii> Flannel Thanks for the info :)
[05:47] <DrStein> jusama15: use lynx, or something similar
[05:48] <jusama15> ..doesn't work
[05:48] <jusama15> VOX i typed in the command you told me, what do i do next?
[05:48] <orange_> how do I start 'swat' the url isnt working (the localhost:901
[05:48] <jusama15> dr. i was trying to navigate inside the terminal
[05:48] <rada> arrenlex: cool, it looks good :-)
[05:48] <Flannel> jusama15: Install the ndiswrapper from the repositories, it's a hundred times easier.
[05:49] <jusama15> fannel but the thing is that i do not have internet
[05:49] <jusama15> not able to hook up there LAN
[05:49] <iamsam9895> Uhg, I feel like I should just get Fedora Core....
[05:49] <rada> ubuntu or kubuntu? I am new I can't see any difference ...
[05:49] <Flannel> jusama15: You have the Ubuntu CD, right?
[05:49] <jusama15> right
[05:49] <Flannel> jusama15: ndiswrapper is on that.  You need to use apt-cdrom to add the CD as a repository, and then you can grab it
[05:50] <jinxuhuang> hi hi 3 weeks of strugglying finally installing ubuntu on my cheapo comp too bad im doing this friday nite
[05:50] <DrStein> I can't get the Realtek 8029 ethernet card working, please I need help.

[05:51] <Vaatix> How do I know if I'm in the Right FAT Partition, or even on my Primary drive?
[05:51] <dunduhnuh> anyone available for help?
[05:51] <genii> Aside from ekiga,skype and gizmoproject any recommendations for soft phone (preferably open-source) mostly for SIP ?
[05:51] <Flannel> jusama15: then "sudo apt-get update", then sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper... uh, I don't know  ok, so, "sudo apt-cache search ndiswrapper", and then install whatever you need
[05:51] <jinxuhuang> ubuntu is alot like dos huh
[05:51] <jusama15> hey i have a simple queston i pressed dir it showed me the directores how do i navigate into say... desktop
[05:51] <laion-gaucho> auto_save
[05:51] <Flannel> jusama15: cd Deskop
[05:52] <lisapc> hi

[05:53] <jinxuhuang> Y: )
[05:53] <jusama15> FLANNEL it says couldn't find the package..
[05:53] <Flannel> jusama15: which package?
[05:53] <lisapc> can I simply delete the file?
[05:53] <jusama15> ndiswrapper
[05:54] <rbil> lisapc: if it's like vmplayer, simply deleting related vm files should get rid of a virtual machine. Unless there's some other way with the server version?
[05:54] <skjr> anybody able to give me a hand getting an Intel 3945ABG WiFi working in 6.10?
[05:54] <dunduhnuh> i have the same issue as skjr
[05:55] <skjr> damn
[05:55] <Flannel> jusama15: "ndiswrapper" isn't a package, there's ndiswrapper-common, and ndiswrapper-utils (and some others), I'm not sure what you need
[05:55] <dunduhnuh> i see that its installed...but i cant get it to connect
[05:55] <skjr> mine worked, out of the box
[05:55] <rada> if I boot to Xwindow can I be logged in automaticly somehow?
[05:55] <skjr> i used it to set stuff up\
[05:55] <jinxuhuang> wow the xubuntu booting screen is soo pretty
[05:55] <dunduhnuh> it worked on vista...but i dont want to use that stuff so i installed ubuntu 6.10 and i cant get it working
[05:55] <jusama15> i need the soft that will allow me to load the windows drivers from my wireless card
[05:55] <skjr> installed all the updates, and its gone
[05:55] <arrenlex> skjr: I think that's the ipw3945 driver, no?
[05:55] <arrenlex> skjr: You also have the binary daemon installed?
[05:55] <SpacePuppy> it's new!!! it's Improved!!
[05:55] <jusama15> for*
[05:55] <skjr> arr - not sure?
[05:56] <dunduhnuh> it should be that driver...but ive been reading that 6.10 doesnt need that driver
[05:56] <jusama15> so that it will work on UBUNTU
[05:56] <skjr> binary daemon?
[05:56] <jusama15> i installed utils
[05:57] <Flannel> rada: you can.  But it's not really a good idea.  But yeah, in the Login screen setup, you can configure that
[05:57] <lisapc> anyone here use vmware server? if so, how do I uninstall a virtual machine? when I manually try to delete the file it says permission disallowed
[05:57] <jinxuhuang> hey how can i tell what video driver is installed
[05:57] <jusama15> flannel..how do i run it?
[05:57] <arrenlex> skjr: Nevermind, I don't run ubuntu and it's different on debian. Sorry.
[05:57] <skjr> lisapc - where are your files hosted?
[05:57] <skjr> you should be able to delete them and be done with it
[05:58] <rada> Flannel: cool, thank you. just me and my gf would use my notebook
[05:58] <jusama15> I just went to package manager and istanlled the util one...HOW do i run the program??
[05:58] <Dr_willis> jinxuhuang,  what one is being 'used' you can tell by the 'Driver' lines in the xorg.conf file
[05:58] <Flannel> !ndiswrapper | jusama15
[05:58] <ubotu> jusama15: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:58] <skjr> arrenlex - sorry, I should have specified, i was assuming that was a given in the ubuntu room
[05:58] <lisapc> skjr running ubuntu from within Vista
[05:58] <jusama15> yes flannel i have looked through that
[05:59] <FunnyLookinHat> Does Ubuntu block ports by default other than the usual ones such as 80, 21, etc. ???
[05:59] <arrenlex> skjr: Yep. Usually debian and ubuntu are close enough to be perfectly translatable. This time, it didn't turn out that way, as I only just found out. Sorry to bother you.
[06:00] <Flannel> FunnyLookinHat: Ubuntu blocks no ports by default
[06:00] <jinxuhuang> Dr_willis: can you explain more?
[06:00] <esco> so anyone to help with intel 3945 wifi not working on 6.10?
[06:00] <genii> dunduhnuh and skjr Seems some help here for that Intel wireless issue:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=368134 and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=307659
[06:00] <jinxuhuang> Dr_willis:  where is xorg?
[06:00] <esco> thanks
[06:00] <jusama15> does anyone know how i can load the AIRLINK drivers onto linux using ndiswrapper
[06:00] <skjr> i've read all those threads, they don't really help
[06:00] <Mehdi> question, i have a ubuntu box, and wanted to run a windows application on it - whats a good piece of emulation software?
[06:01] <Flannel> jusama15: well, that page has more information than I know ;)
[06:01] <skjr> wine
[06:01] <Flannel> !wine | Mehdi
[06:01] <ubotu> Mehdi: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[06:01] <Mehdi> ah, thats what i was looking for
[06:01] <Mehdi> ty
[06:01] <skjr> if Wine doesn't work, install VMware and run Windows
[06:01] <DrStein> Mehdi: wine, or maybe you wan't to try a virtual machine like VirtualBox
[06:01] <orange_> when i install programs - where are they stored? I want to find the readme's and stuff
[06:02] <genii> skjr After reading the entire  the 307659 thread it looks like everyone involved was able to get their cards working.
[06:02] <Dr_willis> jinxuhuang,  look in the main x configuration file - /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:02] <jusama15> flannel, you can explain better
[06:02] <jusama15> you've alread told me how to begin installation
[06:02] <rbil> FunnyLookinHat: Linux only opens ports when a service is running that requires a specific port
[06:03] <jusama15> i have done it
[06:03] <rada> does VMware run on linux?
[06:03] <Dr_willis> jinxuhuang,  or use the command -->  grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:03] <Dr_willis> rada,  of course.
[06:03] <skjr> genil  - i'll have another look
[06:03] <Dr_willis> the vmware homepage has several linux downloads.
[06:03] <FunnyLookinHat> !firestarter
[06:03] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[06:03] <Dr_willis> rada,  runs better on linux i find. then it does under windowsxp
[06:03] <Flannel> jusama15: I have never used ndiswrapper, and have no idea how it works, so no.  I really can't explain better.
[06:04] <rada> Dr_willis: so I can run win under linux in VMware.
[06:04] <Dr_willis> rada,  i run windows in vmware under linux all the time...

[06:05] <arrow__> I have a Printer hooked up with an ethernet cable to my router, does anyone know how to print to it with ubuntu?
[06:05] <rada> Dr_willis:  is VMware for linux for free?
[06:05] <Dr_willis> rada,  theres a free version.. you need to get a serial # (free) from their site
[06:05] <DrStein> rada: no, it isn't
[06:05] <fizzmahon> gcan anyone help me with fglrx
[06:06] <Dr_willis> its not GPL 'free' but theres a free personal use version
[06:06] <Dr_willis> rada,  also check out "VirtualBox" its a similer product.. then theres qemu (not as nice an interface however)
[06:06] <genii> skjr You may also find this site useful : http://www.debianadmin.com/enable-wpa-wireless-access-point-in-ubuntu-linux.html
[06:06] <makuseru> how can i change the Default TCP Receive Window (RWIN)?

[06:08] <DrStein> rada: yes, it is.

[06:12] <Dr_willis> jturek,  theolder windows are lacking some drivers needed for vmware stuff.
[06:12] <jturek> Dr_willis: r u running Etch? or Feisty?
[06:12] <jinxuhuang> actually i found a community doc
[06:12] <genii> Jimmey: Use the --recheck switch of the command grub-install. You may want to read "man grub-install" for syntax and so on
[06:12] <Dr_willis> jturek,  testing out LinuxMint2.? right now. :)

[06:27] <ubotu> arooni: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3

[06:33] <jturek> is there a gui config for Xinerama?
[06:33] <rada> Dr_willis: I am kind of new to Xwindow managers so I have no idea which one I will use more
[06:33] <jturek> or does it need to be setup by hand
[06:33] <jusama14> CAN anyone help me with ndiswrapper
[06:34] <sarracenia88> d
[06:34] <kalorin> jturek, no idea

[06:34] <Crichton> Hey can anyone help, I am running just a DSL gateway server, which shares the net to all my PC's on network. It also connects to VPN's. Now my problem is that the gateway PC can PING / connect to the the VPN server but the other computers on the network can not PING or connect to the VPN server ...
[06:34] <kalorin> cause when you use it to span monitors, it seems to disable direct write tot he ivdeo card
[06:34] <sbalneav> jusama14: What is your problem with ndiswrapper?
[06:34] <Dr_willis> rada,   linux is flexable.. the window managers are just applications.. :)
[06:34] <kalorin> so you can't do like directX type operations
[06:34] <opla_o_dodo> do you know a editor for .pdf file, tha allow me to highlight and put come comment?
[06:34] <jusama14> I do not know how to install my wireless card, someone told me to get ndiswrapper
[06:35] <jusama14> i got it, but i do not know how to isntall my drivers
[06:35] <opla_o_dodo> not pdfedit please
[06:35] <Jimmey> How can I copy my Ubuntu install from one partition to another, and preserve groups, and file permissions?
[06:35] <jturek> kalorin: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174
[06:35] <t35t0r> jusama14, get the .sys and inf file from the windows drivers for that card
[06:35] <jusama14> I did
[06:35] <Dr_willis> Jimmey,  normally ya would use 'tar' and a lot of options i forget.. :)
[06:35] <t35t0r> jusama14, then run ndiswrapper -i file.inf
[06:35] <t35t0r> jusama14, as root
[06:35] <fizzmahon> anyone can help with fglrx and "no screens" error with radeon 7500?
[06:35] <jusama14> yeah i did all that
[06:35] <Jimmey> Dr_willis: tar?
[06:35] <vicente> hey
[06:35] <jusama14> says it's already installed..
[06:35] <jusama14> but i does not work
[06:35] <vicente> anyone here know morse code?
[06:35] <rada> Dr_willis: my gf picked up ubuntu :-) is there anything like ghost for linux?
[06:36] <Dr_willis> Jimmey,  yes.. thats the command normally used.
[06:36] <t35t0r> jusama14, you also need to make sure lsmod | grep ndis shows that it is loaded
[06:36] <Dr_willis> rada,  mondo/mindi can backup/restore systems..
[06:36] <Dr_willis> rada,  or theres a dozenother ways...
[06:36] <t35t0r> jusama14, ndiswrapper is a kernel module that should be loaded otherwise it won't work
[06:36] <sbalneav> jusama14: Does it show up in the list of interfaces under networking?
[06:36] <jusama14> no
[06:36] <jusama14> it does not
[06:36] <t35t0r> jusama14, it doesn't show up under lsmod?
[06:36] <t35t0r> jusama14, modprobe ndiswrapper
[06:36] <jusama14> t35, how do i do all this?
[06:36] <sbalneav> is the ndiswraper module loaded?
[06:36] <MTecknology> If My router is assigning 192.168.10.* and my server is at 100, the wireless is NAT at 99 distributing 10.0.1.* addresses, how do I use \\SERVERNAME from within the NAT network?
[06:36] <t35t0r> in a terminal
[06:36] <jusama14> not under networking settings
[06:37] <rada> Dr_willis so how do you do it?
[06:37] <Jimmey> Dr_willis, I mean, I want to copy the contents (some 40GB) of /dev/hda1 to /dev/hdd1 in the hope of, at some point, making /dev/hdd1 GRUB's root, so I can format hda and keep my ubuntu install
[06:37] <jusama14> how do i load it?
[06:37] <jusama14> how do i do all this
[06:37] <genii> sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[06:37] <sbalneav> sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[06:37] <jusama14> k
[06:37] <jusama14> ty
[06:37] <jusama14> let me try
[06:37] <Munchkinguy> Are there any decent notetakeing (like basKet) apps for GNOME?
[06:37] <Dr_willis> Jimmey,  and whats on hda1 now?  windows or linux?
[06:37] <Jimmey> Dr_willis: Ubuntu
[06:37] <musya3d> how do i add a new user through command line?
[06:37] <jusama14> IT SAYS not found
[06:37] <Dr_willis> Jimmey,  tar can do it then.. of course you may have to edit the grub configs and fstab file..
[06:38] <t35t0r> jusama14, how did you install ndiswrapper through apt-get or the add/remove programs?
[06:38] <rada> Dr_willis: is there any way I can be sure I download the CD iso right? from win?
[06:38] <Jormanks> how can i mount NTFS drives if I'm running the live cd?
[06:38] <vicente> http://pastebin.ca/388643 check out my program, suggestions are welcome
[06:38] <Dr_willis> rada,   ive never had issues with downloading them wrongly. :)
[06:38] <jusama14> well
[06:38] <Dr_willis> rada,  may want to use a download manager...
[06:38] <jusama14> i went to package manager and installed it
[06:38] <jusama14> and i experimented with apt-get
[06:39] <jusama14> that might have messed up something
[06:39] <Jimmey> Dr_willis, alright - Any idea  how I could do it? Some documentation? Also, I tried ealier by copying the files from /dev/hda1 to /dev/hdd1 and edited /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.list accordingly. It booted from /dev/hdd1, but I wasn't in the admin group. Is that worth saving? Or will anything else be messed up?
[06:39] <sbalneav> jusama14: dpkg -l | grep ndiswrapper
[06:39] <Crichton> I could really use some help :P, I mean the VPN connects and the gateway PC can ping it (<IP_ADDRESS>) but when I try and ping it from any PC that the gateway shares the internet to it times out ...
[06:39] <t35t0r> well the bottom line is ndiswrapper should be automatically compiled against the ubuntu kernel
[06:39] <rada> Dr_willis: the other day I was downloading some linux cd iso file 4times. Every time I had different MD5 :-(
[06:39] <Dr_willis> Jimmey,  cp wont get all the permissions and stuff right.. google for the right tar command..
[06:39] <t35t0r> and installed under /lib/modules/`uname -r`/drivers/net/ndiswrapper.ko or something
[06:39] <rohinton> rada: me too!
[06:40] <aoi_band> problem:  near-fresh Edgy install, random hangs .... any idea?
[06:40] <Jimmey> Dr_willis, the permissions seemed alright, though?
[06:40] <sbalneav> jusama14: Type that at a command prompt, what does it return?
[06:40] <jusama14> let me chck
[06:40] <Jimmey> Dr_willis, just not the groups
[06:40] <t35t0r>  lib/modules/2.6.17/misc/ndiswrapper.ko
[06:40] <Dr_willis> Jimmey,  using cp on /dev/ and other special dirs is not a good idea either.
[06:40] <rada> rohinton: what did you do?
[06:40] <denis_on_ubuntu> hey guys - i am trying to install my wireless cards and ndiswrapper - but when I do  "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" it gives me:
[06:40] <denis_on_ubuntu> FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper (/lib/modules/2.6.15-28-386/misc/ndiswrapper.ko): Invalid module format
[06:40] <t35t0r> excellent!

[06:40] <jusama14> T3 i do not see it
[06:40] <rootrip> Hello all, I have an issue.  I am using ubuntu linux and can't shutdown or restart my computer, and I don't want to just hit the power switch.  Anyone know whats wrong and how to fix it?
[06:40] <jusama14> please help me install this correctly
[06:41] <t35t0r> i can't i don't even run ubuntu ..well i could but you wouldn't understand anythin i tell you to do
[06:41] <Dr_willis> Jimmey,  thats really a inefficent way to do it. :)
[06:41] <jusama14> can I pm you?
[06:41] <jusama14> it will be much easier
[06:41] <t35t0r> no
[06:41] <rohinton> I have also noticed that my distro downloads have slowed considerably... :-(
[06:41] <jusama14> fuck
[06:41] <t35t0r> let's see ubuntu solve this one
[06:41] <Jimmey> Dr_willis, I don't want to wait ages while it copies, again - Is there any hope for these files? Or should I start from scratch?

[06:46] <dager> rootrip: sorry, try "sudo shutdown now".. it should send SIGINITs everywhere and reboot you

[06:46] <rootrip> thanks
[06:47] <Jimmey> Dr_willis: I've got sudo working, is there anything else that will be screwed after doing that copy? Or can I wipe the original partition?
[06:47] <jusama14> I looked, that's why i and many other people are here
[06:47] <denis_on_ubuntu> ii'm new to linux and ubuntu - i googled it and did a bunch of research, but i'm really not sure where to go from here because i found nothing that helps

Now my problem is that the gateway PC can PING / connect to the the VPN server but the other computers on the network can not PING or connect to the VPN server ...
[06:47] <facugaich> dager, I think he needs to do shutdown -r now in order to reboot
[06:47] <jusama14>  okay can someone help me install a WIRELESS USB CARD step by STEP?
[06:48] <dager> facugaich... i didnt think you needed -r.. but i dunno, you're most likely right :P
[06:48] <Dr_willis> Jimmey,  sudo working? huh?   you proberly should 'google' for the proper way to mirror/backup a linux partition. theres a lot of little things to watchout for when its your / partition
[06:48] <Number2> how can i get rid of a non emty folder?
[06:48] <Aiwuu> well maybe someone here can help me... when im in XGL Session and i use glxinfo i get "direct rendering NO" this is normal?

[06:48] <jusama14> sb, i replid

[06:48] <Jimmey> Dr_willis, alright, thanks
[06:49] <t35t0r> denis_on_ubuntu, i think the problem is that the ndiswrapper module you have and the kernel you have were not compiled with the same version of gcc
[06:49] <sbalneav> Not that I saw
[06:49] <Number2> how can i get rid of a non emty folder?
[06:49] <ojk007> hey, soz to but in but could someone help me with installing nvidia drivers for Fiesty Herd 5?
[06:49] <facugaich> dager, I also think "sudo shutdown now" will just stop user processes, leaving him with a root terminal XP
[06:49] <Dr_willis> !bash
[06:49] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[06:49] <jusama14> I went to package manager and installed it
[06:49] <Dr_willis> Number2,  rm -r folder
[06:49] <sbalneav> I want you to do it right now.  And report what it says.
[06:49] <Number2> thanks
[06:49] <Dr_willis> Number2,  or drag it to the trash. :)

[06:49] <denis_on_ubuntu> t35 - again, i'm new to linux and ubuntu - so what do i do to get this to work? what do i have to compile / do lol
[06:49] <Jimmey> Dr_willis, do you know where I could find a guide on how to use tar? I've googled, but no I'm lost

[06:51] <Jimmey> Dr_willis, thanks :-)
[06:51] <t35t0r> decompress it
[06:51] <Dr_willis> Jimmey,  i googled for  mirror linux partition tar
[06:51] <CUBeR64> dager: so theres no one to just shutdown and restard the audio on its own?
[06:51] <sbalneav> do a sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.8
[06:51] <acid_burn> Whoa, one at a time.
[06:51] <cypher1> vicente, ##c++
[06:51] <cheeseboy> how do you import env variables
[06:51] <acid_burn> Guys, seriously.
[06:51] <Aiwuu> ...
[06:51] <acid_burn> ONE AT A TIME.
[06:51] <t35t0r> ./configure ; make && make install
[06:51] <jusama14> OKAY

[06:51] <acid_burn> I APPRECIATE IT.
[06:51] <Hydr0p0nX> anyone point me to a good howto for ubuntu 6.10 and nvidia drivers?
[06:51] <Dr_willis> !nvidia
[06:51] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:51] <denis_on_ubuntu> sbalneav - when i type sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.8 -> I get "Couldn't find package ndiswrapper-utils-1.8
[06:51] <dager> CUBeR64: there is, i thought you wanted to restart GDM... "/etc/init.d/alsasound restart" should restart your sound
[06:52] <dager> as somebody pointed about above
[06:52] <rootrip> so..."sudo shutdown now" acted like it was working then brought me right back to the shell prompt.  what to do?
[06:52] <cheeseboy> cannot connect to X server
[06:52] <Dr_willis> !find ndiswrapper
[06:52] <cheeseboy> how can I fix this
[06:52] <CUBeR64> dager: :P thanks a lot dager :)
[06:52] <acid_burn> How do I up the resolution on Ubuntu 6.10 in Parallels?
[06:52] <sbalneav> denis_on_ubuntu: hold on one sec, lets see what jusama14 comes back with.
[06:52] <ubotu> Found: ndiswrapper-common, ndiswrapper-utils, ndiswrapper-utils-1.1, ndiswrapper-utils-1.8, ndiswrapper-source (and 8 others)

[06:52] <dager> rootrip: somebody suggested trying "sudo shutdown -r now"... that -r flag might complete the process, instead of sending you to a shell prompt
[06:53] <acid_burn> I ASKED A QUESTION.
[06:53] <jusama14> said the same thing
[06:53] <CUBeR64> dager: oh its says no such file or directory :S

[06:53] <acid_burn> Answer my question.
[06:53] <cyphase> vicente: i think you mean cypher1
[06:53] <kalorin> and it's otherwise pretty happy
[06:53] <sbalneav> change ndiswrapper-1.8 to 1.1

[06:54] <Jimmey> Dr_willis, I'm really very sorry to bother you like this, but I'm still pretty lost - The page doesn't really explain what's going on
[06:54] <ojk007> :d thanks
[06:54] <acid_burn> Thanks.
[06:54] <dager> CUBeR64: im not in linux right now, but if you check your /etc/init.d/ folder, you should see something resembling "alsa" or "sound".. restart that with the command "/etc/init.d/XXX restart"
[06:54] <denis_on_ubuntu> it said couldnt find package sbalneav
[06:54] <thoreauputic> acid_burn: now please nehave
[06:54] <acid_burn> Yes sir.
[06:54] <thoreauputic> *behave
[06:54] <genii> ojk007: For feisty #ubuntu+1 may be better to ask in
[06:54] <Dr_willis> acid_burn,  you do realize  that theres a lot of docs on the ubuntu web site that cover the basics like this.
[06:55] <acid_burn> Yes, and I've exhausted them to no avail.
[06:55] <Dr_willis> Jimmey,  on what? i got a real short attention span. :)
[06:55] <CUBeR64> dager: oh okay, ill look around
[06:55] <acid_burn> Which is why I'm here.
[06:55] <acid_burn> The last resort.
[06:55] <acid_burn> For nerds.
[06:55] <sbalneav> jusama14: how do you know you've got 1.38 when I asked you to do a dpkg -l | grep ndiswrapper and you said it returned nothing?
[06:55] <acid_burn> Like me.
[06:55] <painkiler> hey guys
[06:55] <jusama14> I downloaded 1.38 from their website
[06:55] <jusama14> and I extracted the folder
[06:55] <painkiler> is there a command that will tell you folder size?
[06:55] <sbalneav> jusama14: WHO's website?
[06:55] <kalorin> painkiler, du -sk <folder>
[06:55] <painkiler> or capacity?
[06:55] <denis_on_ubuntu> it said couldnt find package for sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.1
[06:56] <kalorin> or du -sm <folder>
[06:56] <denis_on_ubuntu> :(
[06:56] <Jimmey> Dr_willis, I'm looking to copy the contents of hda1 to hdd1 so I can basically copy my Ubuntu set up and boot from that, the link doesn't really explain much

[06:56] <jusama14> and we'll start fresh
[06:56] <kalorin> acid_burn, I think I'm fairly literatte

[06:56] <thoreauputic> acid_burn: bye
[06:56] <kalorin> acid_burn, I think I'm fairly literate rather
[06:56] <acid_burn> Literate.
[06:56] <sbalneav> There's ndiswrapper packages already configured that you can use from Ubuntu.
[06:56] <Crichton> Hey can anyone help, I am running just a DSL gateway server, which shares the net to all my PC's on network. It also connects to VPN's. Now my problem is that the gateway PC can PING / connect to the the VPN server but the other computers on the network can not PING or connect to the VPN server ...
[06:56] <acid_burn> lmao.

[06:56] <thoreauputic> acid_burn: have a nice life
[06:56] <jusama14> yeah
[06:56] <Dr_willis> Jimmey,  looks rather direct..
[06:56] <Jimmey> Dr_willis, thanks

[06:56] <jusama14> I installed that
[06:57] <dager> ndiswrapper folks: sorry to but in, but make sure you have your kernel headers installed :)
[06:57] <jwtodd> syntax is overrated :)
[06:57] <Dr_willis> Jimmey,  it pipes the tar data from one place to another  place. :)
[06:57] <denis_on_ubuntu> yeah i installed them from package manager too
[06:57] <kalorin> anyway, is there anyone here that's really good with X?
[06:57] <kalorin> specifically Xorg?
[06:57] <denis_on_ubuntu> --> so i guess i'm in the same boat as you jusama
[06:57] <t35t0r> just ask your question
[06:57] <t35t0r> and if it's about fglrx i don't help
[06:57] <jusama14> OKAY sbal

[06:57] <jusama14> are you there?
[06:57] <sbalneav> denis_on_ubuntu: and jusama14, did you read the howto?
[06:57] <Jimmey> Dr_willis, will I have to extract the data?
[06:57] <denis_on_ubuntu> yes sbal
[06:57] <CUBeR64> dager: alright i got it, it was named alsa-utils
[06:58] <kalorin> it's about trying to get the Xlib XFree86-DRI errors to go away
[06:58] <sbalneav> Did you add the universe and multiverse repositories?
[06:58] <dager> CUBeR64: good to know, thanks! :D
[06:58] <t35t0r> the only help about fglrx i will give is to dump it and your ati card
[06:58] <Dr_willis> Jimmey,  thats what the last tar command does.. :)
[06:58] <jusama14> no....
[06:58] <jusama14> link??
[06:58] <sbalneav> ok
[06:58] <Dr_willis> Jimmey,  its one fancy command.
[06:58] <Rei-chan> Is there a way to discover why my box is rebooting when it starts loading the Ubuntu CD?
[06:58] <denis_on_ubuntu> yes - that's the first thing i did when i installed ubuntu
[06:58] <CUBeR64> dager: thanks

[06:58] <blanky> hey guys, I'm trying to run a game server, all ports on my router are open, but people are still unable to see it, could it have something to do with iptables? If so, how can I open 28950 and 28960 with an iptables command?
[06:58] <dager> jusama14: have you installed the appropriate kernel headers?
[06:58] <t35t0r> blanky, iptables -L , is anything active?
[06:58] <kalorin> I don't have any real issues with this radeon card
[06:59] <jusama14> no
[06:59] <jusama14> all i have done is
[06:59] <jusama14> installed
[06:59] <kalorin> I just can't seem to get the direct drawing stuff to work under xorg
[06:59] <jusama14> ubuntu
[06:59] <Jimmey> Dr_willis, so if I did that, I'd have the same set up on /dev/hdd1 as on /dev/hda1? And all that's needed would be the edit of /etc/fstab and menu.list?
[06:59] <dager> jusama14: thats most likely why its not working :)
[06:59] <ojk007> !nvdia
[06:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nvdia - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[06:59] <t35t0r> kalorin, no
[06:59] <blanky> t35t0r: Sorry, what do you mean?
[06:59] <blanky> I ran that
[06:59] <sbalneav> jusama14: and denis_on_ubuntu, are you both running edgy?
[06:59] <jusama14> dager, how do i install it?
[06:59] <t35t0r> blanky, does it show any rules?
[06:59] <kalorin> Xinerama seems to kill direct draw
[06:59] <jusama14> i dunno
[06:59] <denis_on_ubuntu> sbalneav - no - i'm on dapper
[06:59] <jusama14> no
[06:59] <kalorin> so I did it the ATI way and that didn't seem to help either
[07:00] <jusama14> i have 6.06
[07:00] <kalorin> but it seems alittle snappier
[07:00] <blanky> t35t0r: uh, can I paste this? sorry, I'm pretty sure they're rules, though not sure
[07:00] <denis_on_ubuntu> so i guess we're both on dapper
[07:00] <sbalneav> ok
[07:00] <dager> jusama14: check synaptic for "kernel-headers" and install the appropriate one.. then reinstall ndiswrapper packages, just to be sure

[07:00] <Number2> What is the directory that contains the init directories?
[07:00] <kalorin> Rei-chan, I think so

[07:00] <kalorin> Rei-chan, how would I tell?
[07:00] <Rei-chan> kalorin: If it didn't say Direct Rendering: Yes, then you didn't.
[07:00] <jusama14> dager, which are appropriate? lol
[07:00] <Dr_willis> Jimmey,  depends on the hd speed.. :) id say an hr or so.. no clue really
[07:00] <thoreauputic> blanky: sorry I was a little slow there :)
[07:00] <kalorin> "it" is a bit vague
[07:01] <Jimmey> Dr_willis, we'll see, I guess
[07:01] <Rei-chan> kalorin: In a terminal, use glxinfo.
[07:01] <kalorin> I'll ask "it"
[07:01] <blanky> t35t0r: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9589/
[07:01] <kalorin> direct rendering: No
[07:01] <blanky> t35t0r: so it looks like it shouldn't be iptables' problem, right
[07:01] <kalorin> there we have it
[07:01] <Number2> t35tor im given the options between rc0 and rc6
[07:01] <sbalneav> jusama14: and denis_on_ubuntu, both of you need to go read this page, and add the universe and multiverse repositories
[07:01] <t35t0r> blanky, no you have no rules iptables is not your problem
[07:01] <dager> jusama14: get the "i386" ones

[07:01] <kalorin> Rei-chan, any thoughts on how to change it's mind?
[07:01] <jusama14> wait wait
[07:01] <dager> jusama14: im assuming.. if you're on a 64-bit processor or a PPC, get the ones labelled as such
[07:01] <jusama14> I checked in package manager
[07:01] <ekul`> im getting skype database errors
[07:01] <Rei-chan> Follow those directions, kalorin.
[07:01] <jusama14> no kernal headers
[07:02] <ekul`> :(
[07:02] <dager> jusama14: kernel, not kernal :)
[07:02] <jusama14> yeah
[07:02] <jusama14> none
[07:02] <jusama14> sbal i know how to do repositories
[07:02] <Number2> t35tor  im installing vmware and it wants to know which one  and it says between rc0 and rc6
[07:02] <sbalneav> ok, then do this:
[07:02] <thoreauputic> jusama14: search for linux-headers
[07:02] <dager> jusama14: "linux-kernel-headers" should be there

[07:06] <jusama14> k
[07:06] <lkthomas> guys
[07:06] <jusama14> yeah
[07:06] <thoreauputic> :(
[07:06] <jusama14> it does
[07:07] <thoreauputic> jusama14: no need to yell
[07:07] <t35t0r> hahah
[07:07] <lkthomas> I found something interesting, dmesg found my e100 eth0 card, but when I try ifconfig eth0, it said device not found
[07:07] <lkthomas> anyone got idea ?
[07:07] <t35t0r> lkthomas, ifconfig -a | more
[07:07] <jusama14> thor okay
[07:07] <jusama14> it is working now
[07:07] <jusama14> i changed the date
[07:07] <thoreauputic> heh
[07:07] <Dr_willis> lkthomas,  i belive theres 2 moduiles that can be used for that card..  i think one may have some issues...
[07:07] <kalorin> mojoa
[07:07] <kalorin> mojo, thanks
[07:08] <kalorin> it's still not behaving correctly
[07:08] <jusama14> thor it is done..
[07:08] <guideX> i broke my K key so i can't type make, how do I compile? just kidding
[07:08] <thoreauputic> jusama14: use tab complete on nicks or people won't notice your posts
[07:08] <t35t0r> lol
[07:08] <Dr_willis> lkthomas,  is the e100.ko module loaded?
[07:08] <thoreauputic> jusama14: for instance I have a beep on highlight for my nick
[07:08] <t35t0r> thoreauputic, oh how nice
[07:08] <jusama14> how do i do that?
[07:08] <t35t0r> thoreauputic, thanks for letting us know about that feature
[07:09] <t35t0r> thoreauputic, hey how are you doing ..good me too?
[07:09] <mojo> kalorin: you may have prblm with 1) repository version of "ati binary" kernel module still active against dl'd and compiled ati X.Org driver (mismatch), or you may need to have the latest kernel headers installed.  EVERY TIME you upgrade the kernel you'll have to re-make that fglrx.ko piece to match it
[07:09] <guideX> no really htough, whats the easiest way to install a codec for mp3's?
[07:09] <t35t0r> thoreauputic, what's the date and time and weather in your neck of the wooods?
[07:09] <thoreauputic> t35t0r: ...
[07:09] <kalorin> yeah just reading that part right now
[07:09] <jusama14> thor..how do i do all this???
[07:09] <thoreauputic> !offtopic
[07:09] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[07:09] <t35t0r> thoreauputic, heh
[07:09] <lkthomas> Dr_willis, yep
[07:09] <guideX> like whats theeasiest mp3 codec to install cause i'm having problems
[07:09] <kalorin> what worries me is that I've messed the thing up badly enough it's never going to be right again :(
[07:09] <t35t0r> thoreauputic,
[07:09] <jusama14> anyway, can we continue??
[07:09] <t35t0r> oops
[07:09] <t35t0r> sorry
[07:10] <mojo> kalorin: fwiw i have ati radeon 9800 pro and have used both fglrx and ati/radeon (opensource) drivers... presently i use the opensource drivers
[07:10] <kalorin> is one better than the other for one reason or another?
[07:10] <kalorin> well with a radeon x700 I think I can't use the opensource stuff can i?
[07:11] <jusama14> THOREAUPUTIC
[07:11] <Number2> What directory contains the desktop menu entry files? like .desktop
[07:11] <dager> kalorin, I believe the open-source radeon driver should suit your needs
[07:11] <mojo> kalorin: the opensource drivers are not as fast at 3d accel as the fglrx (yet), but they DO support the AIGLX and Composite extensions to X.Org for beryl/compiz sweetness wehereas ati bumflock proprietary drivers don't.
[07:11] <Vaatix>  Anyone have any clue how to Mount my Primary Drive? I need to be able to copy the GRUB files from /boot/grub/ to there so I don't have to keep the Drive my external drive plugged in all the time.
[07:11] <thoreauputic> jusama14: I don't use ndiswrapper - have you read the wiki page ?
[07:11] <jusama14> yes
[07:11] <kalorin> no idea about beryl
[07:11] <Dr_willis> Number2,  try 'locate .desktop'
[07:11] <Number2> What directory contains the desktop menu entry files? like .desktop
[07:12] <Number2> ok
[07:12] <kalorin> 2d desktops are happy enough fo me
[07:12] <Pelo> Vaatix,  have you tried asking in #grub ?
[07:12] <kalorin> for me
[07:12] <Vaatix> >.>
[07:12] <jusama14> I just need something that will fix
[07:12] <kalorin> never tried 3d
[07:12] <Dr_willis> if your locate database is up to date. :) if not use 'sudo updatedb'
[07:12] <dager> Vaatix: it might be easier just to install grub to your internal MBR
[07:12] <jusama14> my wireless card on UBUNTU
[07:12] <Vaatix> I wasn't aware there was a #grub.
[07:12] <kalorin> is it more useful, or just more pretty?
[07:12] <guideX> so does anyone know of an easy to install mp3 codec for ubutnu edgy?
[07:12] <thoreauputic> !repeat | Number2
[07:12] <ubotu> Number2: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[07:12] <kalorin> mp3 codec?
[07:12] <kalorin> Id idn't have to
[07:12] <Pelo> Vaatix,  there is a #everything
[07:12] <kalorin> xmms just worked
[07:12] <guideX> i can't play mp3's at all
[07:12] <mojo> kalorin: not saying you do... i was just relating my reasoning... um, what do you want to install fglrx drivers for if you are not going to run 3d acceleration? i would stick with the opensource ones.  much less hassle, for one.
[07:12] <kalorin> I installed vlc though
[07:13] <guideX> using the alternate ubutnu package
[07:13] <Vaatix> I know, I'd been wondering how I was going to go about fixing all this. I still figure I have to mount the damned thing beforehand.
[07:13] <guideX> *cd
[07:13] <kalorin> mojo, mkay, how to?
[07:13] <Vaatix> Damned Hard drive.
[07:13] <t35t0r> !codec
[07:13] <Number2> thoreauputic i was aking the people that came in since i first posted it so hove it

[07:13] <t35t0r> !ut2k4
[07:13] <thoreauputic> Number2: you repeated your question inside 1 minute
[07:13] <jusama14> thoreaupuitc, thought i was getting somewhere with your help...guess not
[07:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ut2k4 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:13] <jusama14> no ideas?
[07:13] <kalorin> and I was thinking that it might be stopping wine from doing some things I want such as installing photoshop
[07:13] <guideX> mplayer doesn't work btw for me anyhow, probably my lack of understanding though
[07:13] <Number2> im so sorry

[07:13] <lkthomas> how could I disable acpi ?
[07:14] <foutrelis> I got excited today and I want to make a video out of some pictures. Put some music in the background and maybe some transition effects. Is there an application I could use? :)
[07:14] <t35t0r> in your bios
[07:14] <t35t0r> on the grub boot line acpi=off
[07:14] <t35t0r> by drinking lots of wine
[07:14] <thoreauputic> jusama14: if you have the howto, you should be able to get ndiswrapper working I guess
[07:14] <t35t0r> thoreauputic, he can't read
[07:14] <jusama14> what was the point of all the stuff we did before?
[07:14] <Rei-chan> How do I stop this PC from rebooting after starting a Ubuntu 6.10 install?
[07:14] <mojo> kalorin: lol... they are in the repository... apt-get install ... umm, let me see the actual package name before i lead you astray... 1sec
[07:14] <jusama14> shut the hell up t3
[07:14] <Dr_willis> not being able to read.. must make using IRC a real pain.
[07:14] <Dr_willis> :)
[07:14] <kalorin> foutrelis, well you could do it in powerpoint :)
[07:14] <t35t0r> Rei-chan, acpi=off
[07:15] <dager> foutrelis: there's plenty!
[07:15] <Dr_willis> night all
[07:15] <Number2> thoreauputic there ware two people that came in here between that one monute that didnt see me question posted
[07:15] <Rei-chan> Tried that. Tried fb=false too.
[07:15] <foutrelis> :S
[07:15] <excusemehi> Does anyone know of a good tutorial on setting up a true LAMP server with Ubuntu?
[07:15] <kalorin> do I need to uninstall fglrx first?
[07:15] <thoreauputic> t35t0r: jusama14 please take arguments elsewhere
[07:15] <kalorin> or is it going to fight?
[07:15] <kalorin> :)
[07:15] <genii> t35t0r: I gave up helping jusama maybe 2 hours ago. Very annoying individual
[07:15] <foutrelis> excusemehi: sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server-5.0 phpmyadmin :)
[07:15] <t35t0r> Rei-chan, any special kernel messages before it reboots?
[07:15] <Bra1> No one know how to star VINO server?
[07:15] <t35t0r> where when does it reboot
[07:15] <jusama14> I gave up asking t3 2 hours ago, very ignorant individul
[07:15] <excusemehi> lol
[07:15] <reyn> iirc there is some way to determine what package could provide a certain binary ... ?
[07:16] <Rei-chan> t35t0r: I wish. It gets to loading the kernel sometimes, toher times, to loading the initd. Reboot seems almost random.
[07:16] <kalorin> reyn dpkg -l <file>
[07:16] <kalorin> ?
[07:16] <thoreauputic> Number2: there are currently over 900 people in this chan - your repeats are just spam
[07:16] <arrenlex> reyn: apt-file (which you have to install) or packages.ubuntu.com
[07:16] <Rei-chan> This is the box, its got Gentoo on it right now.
[07:16] <dager> Bra1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=266981
[07:16] <mojo> kalorin: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati
[07:16] <t35t0r> Rei-chan, run memtest?
[07:16] <reyn> thanks, thanks
[07:16] <Rei-chan> t35t0r: And passed it.
[07:16] <Number2> look  who is trying to argue GET OVER IT
[07:16] <t35t0r> Rei-chan, apic-off
[07:16] <Bra1> Thank You Dager
[07:16] <Rei-chan> t35t0r: Turned apic and alpic off.
[07:16] <jusama14> dager...
[07:16] <kalorin> mojo, already have the latest version according to apt
[07:16] <t35t0r> Rei-chan, is this a dell box nvidia mcp55 chipset"
[07:16] <foutrelis> kalorin, dager, there is no powerpoint in ubuntu and I think it is just video editing with pictures :P I am just asking if anyone has a suggestion on which application to use. :)
[07:16] <mojo> kalorin: that will install the "ati" opensource driver package (which will include the radeon)
[07:16] <K3nto> sudo apt-get install ntfs-config   isnt working for mr
[07:16] <K3nto> me
[07:17] <dager> jusama14: yes?
[07:17] <K3nto> package not found?
[07:17] <kalorin> foutrelis, openoffice
[07:17] <Rei-chan> t35t0r: I wish. :( Its an IBM Aptiva, old.
[07:17] <Rei-chan> t35t0r: Let me find the model number.
[07:17] <jusama14> know anything about wireless usb on ubuntu?
[07:17] <dager> foutrelis: are you partial to QT or GTK apps?
[07:17] <t35t0r> Rei-chan, tried other livecd's ?
[07:17] <thoreauputic> Number2: I'm not arguing - I'm telling you that repeats are not welcome. If you want to make an issue of it I will just silence you instead of telling you :)
[07:17] <mojo> kalorin: then it is just a matter of configuring x to use it...  you use driver name "ati" instead of "fglrx" and there is no need to load the flgrx modules
[07:17] <t35t0r> Rei-chan, knoppix 5.1.1
[07:17] <Rei-chan> E190
[07:17] <kalorin> k
[07:17] <foutrelis> dager, Since I use gnome I prefer GTK I guess
[07:17] <dager> foutrelis: try "kino"
[07:17] <Number2> what ever you just have to have the last work
[07:17] <Rei-chan> t35t0r: Hmm? See if Knoppix runs on it?  That applies to 946 people here.

[07:20] <Rei-chan> Does anyone know of a way to do a basic text only install without ever touching X or fb?
[07:20] <kalorin> mojo, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9590/
[07:20] <mojo> kalorin: perhaps i should 'hang on' to excusemehi ?!?  lol
[07:20] <Vaatix> #grub isn't helping me out any.
[07:20] <arrenlex> !alternate | Rei-chan
[07:20] <ubotu> Rei-chan: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.
[07:20] <Hydr0p0nX> anyone have a howto on getting widescreen lcd's to display widescreen resolution ?
[07:20] <poningru> !ntfs
[07:20] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[07:20] <Bra1> Dager, I get Connection refused when I try to connect to it, I have it setup in my router
[07:20] <kalorin> heh
[07:20] <Rei-chan> I'm using that, unfortunately, and it jumps right to fb.
[07:20] <Rei-chan> As in, it uses a framebuffer grub boot.
[07:20] <Rei-chan> Second I select something, boom, reboot.
[07:21] <arrenlex> Rei-chan: By fb you mean the blue tex-based "dialog" installer with grey menus?
[07:21] <dager> Bra1: I have no idea how to use VNC or Vino.. I just happened to stumble across that link, sorry =/
[07:21] <kalorin> yeah what's with 22" wide screens doing 1680x1050 anyway?
[07:21] <arrenlex> text*
[07:21] <Brad2> Oh okay
[07:21] <Brad2> No problem
[07:21] <kalorin> that's 20" resolution, so the 22's are just either using bigger pixels to do it or more spacing between them
[07:21] <Rei-chan> arrenlex: No, by framebuffer, I mean the pretty graphical boot screen that comes on Ubuntu 6.10 Alternative.
[07:21] <kalorin> takes a lot away from the sharpness
[07:21] <Hydr0p0nX> yea
[07:21] <Hydr0p0nX> my 22" does 1680x1050
[07:22] <Hydr0p0nX> but it still looks good enough for me
[07:22] <arrenlex> Rei-chan: Oh, the image that appears in console when it gives you boot options? I don't know anything which gets rid of that... why is it a problem?
[07:22] <kalorin> Hydr0p0nX, sure but a 20" does the same resolution, so what's going to look sharper?
[07:22] <Rei-chan> arrenlex: For some reason, when I boot the CD, and select an option, the box reboots.
[07:22] <Hydr0p0nX> oh i know what your saying kalorin
[07:22] <Rei-chan> arrenlex: The last time I installed an OS on this box, it was Gentoo, and the Gentoo Framebuffer installer would do the same thing. Non-framebuffer text install worked.
[07:22] <excusemehi> im trying to setup a home server but in order to do that i will have to open up port 80.  i have two routers. do i change each of them?
[07:23] <arrenlex> Rei-chan: That's weird... I don't know anything useful, sorry. = /
[07:23] <Rei-chan> arrenlex: I've turned off ACPI, and everything else I can think of. When it gets to loading the kernel, boom. Reboot.
[07:23] <Rei-chan> Yeah, that's the bad part, its random and I can't even get debug info. :(
[07:23] <dager> excusemehi: it couldnt hurt, i dont think
[07:23] <kalorin> mojo, I'm specifically worried about the ati-config stuff
[07:23] <kalorin> do I just need to change the driver in the Device sections?
[07:24] <Rei-chan> kalorin: Yes.
[07:24] <arrenlex> Rei-chan: Life is too short to run gentoo. :)
[07:24] <kalorin> the Identifier I guess is just a tag right?
[07:24] <kalorin> but I have to do it for both devices?
[07:24] <Rei-chan> kalorin: Yes. Mine is "STUPID GRAPHICS CARD."
[07:24] <kalorin> heh
[07:24] <mojo> kalorin: Hydr0p0nX:  seems you are stumbling on an instance where bigger is not better (i agree with kalorin on the sharpness); however beauty is in the eye of the beholder and apparently big is better to some.  (keep yer big pixels tho!)
[07:24] <mojo> kalorin: 1sec i am getting to your file... had to load ffox and had like umpteen million tabs saved in my last session :/
[07:24] <Rei-chan> arr: This used to be a home server, and gentoo was nice cause it was small. Now, I need it as a workstation, and ... it hates Ubuntu.
[07:24] <arrenlex> Rei-chan: Won't the liveCD be better for that, then? It doesn't use a framebuffer IIRC, it goes from the text prompt straight to X.
[07:25] <kalorin> mojo, I've been looking at maybe getting a couple of 1680x1050 screens and for a long time I puzzled over 20 vs 22"
[07:25] <kalorin> heh
[07:25] <T3hMikey> do I have to login as root to install stuff? I remember needing to when I tried Debian, but I never set up a root account during the Ubuntu installation
[07:25] <Rei-chan> arrenlex: I was thinking about that, but can the LiveCD handle 88 MB of RAM?
[07:25] <foutrelis> T3hMikey: use sudo
[07:25] <arrenlex> !sudo | T3hMikey
[07:25] <Rei-chan> arrenlex: This box is old.
[07:25] <ubotu> T3hMikey: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[07:25] <arrenlex> Rei-chan: ...no. xD
[07:25] <kalorin> the other thing that worries me about the driver change is the various "Options"  in the first Device area
[07:25] <Rei-chan> arrenlex: Yeah, that's the problem. :)
[07:25] <Hydr0p0nX> doesn't change the fact that i'm working with a 1280x1024 resolution :/
[07:25] <mojo> kalorin: some will have resolutions in the 1900 wide range i believe.. shop around.  in the 'old days' we used to refer to the dot-pitch of a monitor to consider it worthy ;)
[07:26] <kalorin> mojo, yeah i know
[07:26] <T3hMikey> well, I mean, I downloaded a program that came as a tarball, followed the instructions on the Ubuntu site on installing tarballs, and nothing happened
[07:26] <kalorin> i have a couple of 19" syncmasters I'm using now that have been very good
[07:26] <arrenlex> Rei-chan: You could install something debian-based like Damn Small, and then switch repositories?
[07:26] <mojo> kalorin: okay ffox has settled in.. let me look at your config.
[07:26] <dager> T3hMikey: so you tried to compile from source?
[07:26] <T3hMikey> there wasn't an error in the terminal or anything, it just kind of ignored the command all together
[07:26] <kalorin> the one that has the DVI-> VGA converter on it looks soft
[07:26] <kalorin> mojo, there is a device entry with the ati driver
[07:26] <T3hMikey> I don't know what it was, the site said to type in something like tar xzf file_name
[07:26] <kalorin> but also two others with the fglrx drivers listed
[07:26] <Rei-chan> arrenlex: That's an idea, I could also use CentOS since we use it in-house, just... I wanted Ubuntu and all. :(
[07:27] <arrenlex> Rei-chan: a) Why? b) Once you install dsl, go to /etc/apt/sources.list and change the repositories to ubuntu, then grab the packages you need.
[07:27] <Flannel> !install | Rei-chan, you can install... through a variety of means.  You might also try the Server CD.  It might be kinder to older machines
[07:27] <ubotu> Rei-chan, you can install... through a variety of means.  You might also try the Server CD.  It might be kinder to older machines: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[07:27] <dager> T3hMikey: i believe the last step in the process ("make install" or "checkinstall") requires root, but configure and make don't
[07:27] <Helmi> any idea why my gnome-network-manager icon says "no network connection" though i'm sure i have one ;) i just installed it.
[07:27] <kalorin> I get the impression that I had the open source driver installed and then put the ati one on there and didn't clean up very well
[07:27] <excusemehi> any good online multi player games of ubuntu

[07:28] <excusemehi> hello welcome to the internet
[07:28] <kalorin> I'm a command line guy and am just starting to get to really using X as it's finally getting really good enough to be an everyday desktop for me
[07:28] <Rei-chan> arrenlex: Once DSL is up, and I switch sources, I can just do xubuntu-desktop?
[07:28] <T3hMikey> how do I get into root? I never got one set up, so is there some sort of default password for it? I don't know if a root account even exists, actually, I never tried
[07:28] <dager> Helmi: is the connection actually up? or just installed?
[07:28] <Flannel> T3hMikey: Root account is disabled
[07:28] <Helmi> dager: it's up - i'm using it while typing to you :)
[07:28] <kalorin> T3hMikey, I've never seen a unix box that didn't have a root account
[07:28] <Flannel> T3hMikey: Ubuntu uses sudo instead,
[07:28] <arrenlex> Rei-chan: Most likely... there might be a few interesting conflicts, but if you're reasonably good with apt, you'll probably be fine.
[07:28] <Rei-chan> Flannel: is the server CD the same as the Alternate? I'm kinda without X here, so its hard to find stuff on the wiki.
[07:28] <Ayle> can anyone tell me how to configure networkmanager>
[07:28] <Ayle> ?
[07:29] <kalorin> T3hMikey, you can sudo su - root and be root, but that's really kind of cheating and will open you up to all sorts of possibilities of breaking stuff
[07:29] <dager> Helmi: makes sense :P I dunno, that's weird.. and kinda shot down my prepared ifconfig and dhcp tips :P
[07:29] <Flannel> Rei-chan: no, it's a separate CD, smaller.  And, I really don't know if it'll jump straight to a FB or not
[07:29] <arrenlex> Rei-chan: That is, theoretically, yes you can. It will find and install it. In practice, there might be package conflicts which you'll have to resolve.
[07:29] <T3hMikey> yeah, I don't like the breaking stuff part
[07:29] <Flannel> T3hMikey, kalorin, if you want a root shell, use `sudo -i`
[07:29] <Rei-chan> Flannel: Ok, I'll grab that.
[07:29] <T3hMikey> I have no idea what I'm doing in Linux, so chances are really good I'll mess something up if I'm not really careful
[07:29] <mojo> kalorin: okay you have a fun little mess there!
[07:29] <rohinton> T3hMikey: root privileges is associated with the initial account you create?
[07:29] <Rei-chan> arrenlex: I suck at apt. :)
[07:29] <kalorin> mojo, yeah I figured
[07:29] <T3hMikey> rohinton: I... guess so
[07:30] <T3hMikey> it's the only account in existance, so I would hope so
[07:30] <Flannel> rohinton: Don't use root, don't use a root shell, there's absolutely no reason to do so in ubuntu
[07:30] <Helmi> dager: hehe - hmm it's strange, isn't it? i also can't find any settings for network-manager.. strange
[07:30] <kalorin> mojo, I've been running linux as a server for like 10 years, but this really is only the 2nd install I've done with X and the first time I'm really using it
[07:30] <mojo> kalorin: you have three display devices defined... two instances using fglrx driver (heads 0 and 1), and another (just head 0) using the "ati" (opensource) driver.
[07:30] <Flannel> T3hMikey, rohinton, the initial account has the ability to sudo.
[07:30] <kalorin> so you think I should remove all the devices that have fglrx in them?
[07:30] <rohinton> Flannel: so you'er saying "sudo_root" everthing you need to do with root privs?
[07:30] <kalorin> mojo, ok
[07:31] <mojo> kalorin: but your Server Layout section is where all the 'pieces' are tied together, and it is referencing ONLY the fglrx driver for head 0.
[07:31] <kalorin> k
[07:31] <Flannel> rohinton: no.  Not sudo root, just sudo.  "sudo nano /file/to/edit/with/more/privs"
[07:31] <Flannel> or, gksu gedit /yadda/yadda/yadda
[07:31] <kalorin> so maybe get rid of the fglrx devices and the server layout area?
[07:31] <ant> i couldnt sudo to change directories, so i used a root term
[07:31] <kalorin> it seems to have a lot of stuff in it that I don't need, such as the wacom stuff
[07:31] <rohinton> ant: sudo executes a command as root and returns...
[07:32] <ant> it didn't work with cd
[07:32] <thoreauputic> ant: cd is a shell built-in - and why would you need sudo to change directories ?
[07:32] <Flannel> ant: you're right, sudo does a single command.  "sudo cd" doesn't make sense.   That seems a bit longer but simpler
[07:32] <rohinton> so sudo ksh will also give you a root term...
[07:32] <ant> it told me i needed permission
[07:32] <Flannel> rohinton: sudo -i is better, you shouldn't sudo ksh, or sudo bash, or anything like that.
[07:33] <rohinton> ant: sudo -l should show the commands available under sudo...
[07:33] <Flannel> T3hMikey: You don't enable root.  There's no reason to, and it'll only cause problems later.
[07:33] <mojo> kalorin: for starters, comment out the Device sections defined for heads 0 and 1 using the 'fglrx' driver.  Then copy the device name "ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon X700 Pro (RV410)" as defined on line 136 and replace that text for what you already have in the Server Layout at line number 27.
[07:33] <computrius> ahh
[07:33] <arrenlex> T3hMikey: If you absolutely must have root, you can run "sudo passwd root" to set a root password, and then you can use su and log in as root and all those things. But don't do this unless you're certain you want it very much, and be careful with it.
[07:33] <computrius> ive followed all directions, downloaded the firmware, etc.
[07:33] <stian2> is anyone able to access shared folders in Vista from ubuntu (or linux in general)? If I go to places -> network servers -> machine I get a dialog that prompts me for a username/password. If I put in the correct username/password the dialog will just re-appear after a couple of seconds. If I mount the share from the console it works fine, but not through the Gnome UI. Anyone have any ideas?
[07:33] <Flannel> T3hMikey: whenever you need to do a command that requires root access, prefix the command with "sudo" (unless it's a graphical app, then use gksu)
[07:33] <mojo> kalorin: that will tell the server layout to use the device description that is using the opensource ati driver.
[07:33] <computrius> the module loads with no errors, but it still wont make a wlan0 interface
[07:33] <kalorin> k
[07:34] <kalorin> hold on a second
[07:34] <mojo> kalorin: if we can get you running on single-head, THEN we can start to fuss about with the dual-head stuff
[07:34] <rohinton> Flannel: interesting points.
[07:34] <kalorin> it almost looks like I've got multiple versions of the monitors in there too
[07:34] <kalorin> sure
[07:34] <ojk007> !media
[07:34] <kalorin> thanks
[07:34] <ubotu> Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Banshee, Beep Media Player, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine  -  See also !codecs
[07:34] <rohinton> so what does sudo -i do? enable root in the current session?
[07:34] <kalorin> gimmie a second
[07:34] <Flannel> rohinton: no, it opens a root shell, which you'd then exit out of when done doing root stuff
[07:34] <T3hMikey> okay, since root seems to be such a bad idea, I'd need to add "sudo -i" to the beginning of any commands that require root privileges?
[07:34] <Flannel> T3hMikey: no, just sudo.
[07:34] <arrenlex> T3hMikey: No, just sudo.
[07:34] <arrenlex> T3hMikey: sudo -i is for a root shell.
[07:34] <Flannel> !sudo
[07:34] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[07:34] <mojo> kalorin: also note that IIRC the opensource ati/radeon driver uses "MergedFB" instead of Xinerama.
[07:35] <thoreauputic> rohinton: with corect environment etc
[07:35] <omegacenti> I'm having issues installing Diablo II in wine.. The CD is barely spinning at all and I suspect it is installing at 1x speed.
[07:35] <thoreauputic> rohinton: umm.. correct ( it gives you a root shell until you exit )
[07:35] <ant> T3hMikey: you would type "sudo tar -xvf foo.tar"
[07:35] <mojo> kalorin: i think so but i'd have to go wade in the spaghetti again..  you can leave the monitor descriptions alone for now.
[07:35] <ant> T3hMikey: and it'll ask for pw
[07:36] <T3hMikey> yeah, it's not changing anything at all, it's still jsut ignoring the command
[07:36] <arrenlex> What command would I use to get the process name from a pid?
[07:36] <Flannel> T3hMikey: what command are you giving?
[07:36] <ant> T3hMikey: use -v with tar to get some output
[07:36] <mojo> kalorin: besides the changes i suggested, also comment out the Xinerama line in the server layout.  Then, paste up your new version for me to see
[07:36] <T3hMikey> "sudo tar xzf filename", and then I tried it again with a - in front of xzf
[07:36] <kalorin> k
[07:36] <kalorin> working at it
[07:36] <thoreauputic> arrenlex: try ps aux | grep <process number>
[07:36] <kalorin> I got rid of the wacom stuff as well
[07:36] <kalorin> don't need that
[07:37] <ant> T3hMikey: use tar -xzvf
[07:37] <mojo> (and hanging out)
[07:37] <me2win> can anyone help with a beryl problem? (ubuntu-effects is dead)
[07:37] <zerokarmaleft> hmm, launchpad is borked
[07:38] <mojo> kalorin: yeah but i sure wish i did have a wacom tablet... that is on my eternal christmas/birthday wish list ya know ;)
[07:38] <kalorin> heh
[07:38] <T3hMikey> okay, it output a lot of stuff, but it all just looks like directories, probably of stuff in the tarball
[07:38] <kalorin> the Canon 1Ds mark III made my list today
[07:38] <arrenlex> thoreauputic: I figured it out: ps <pid>
[07:38] <kalorin> 10mega pixel and 10 frames per second
[07:38] <EvilMonk> catting /proc/cpuinfo is returning 1ghz for both my cores, but they are faster than that, is the detection busted in feisty x64?
[07:38] <ant> T3hMikey: that means it worked.
[07:38] <kalorin> dual Digic 3 processors
[07:38] <thoreauputic> arrenlex: either way :)
[07:39] <arrenlex> EvilMonk: No, your cores are throttled: the computer slows them down when they are idle to save power. They are put back at full speed when needed.
[07:39] <omegacenti> kalorin: This is where you mention the price of 4000USD
[07:39] <T3hMikey> ant: I dunno, I just looked it up, none of the directories mentioned seem to actually exist still
[07:39] <EvilMonk> arrenlex: thank you very much.
[07:39] <kalorin> omegacenti, lets not get mired int he details
[07:39] <kalorin> :)
[07:39] <omegacenti> :)
[07:39] <mojo> omegacenti: yeah, and we all join in a group laugh/cry
[07:39] <arrenlex> EvilMonk: Open two terminal tabs. In one, type "while true ; do echo hello ; done". While this is running, cat /proc/cpuinfo again. You'll see them at full speed.
[07:39] <arrenlex> EvilMonk: Press ctrl+c in your echo tab to stop it.
[07:39] <kalorin> my tax return was looking good until I hit the state stuff
[07:39] <K3nto> !ntfsfix
[07:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ntfsfix - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:40] <kalorin> all my beautiful and creative deductions.. they're simply immune
[07:40] <kalorin> they cheat
[07:40] <kalorin> :)
[07:40] <K3nto> is ntfsfix safe?
[07:40] <thoreauputic> !ntfs | K3nto
[07:40] <ubotu> K3nto: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[07:40] <EvilMonk> arrenlex: that works! thanks
[07:40] <ant> T3hMikey: what are you trying to install?
[07:40] <monsoon_king> i had windows xp...i installed ubuntu...windows does not work now... tried repairing xp....now even ubuntu is gone
[07:40] <arrenlex> EvilMonk: yw :)
[07:40] <mojo> kalorin: at least the state taxes might be halfway legal.  i hate the fed and irs bastages.  they are illegal but the courts are corrupted by bazillionaires who print money from thin air.  bastages!!!!!
[07:40] <kalorin> mojo, I've done some really heafty editing on this might have cut more than you wanted
[07:40] <kalorin> I'm pasting it back now
[07:41] <T3hMikey> ant: I was trying it with the AIM installer since I hadn't noticed GAIM came with Ubuntu and I hadn't deleted the tarball yet
[07:41] <mojo> kalorin: cool beanz
[07:41] <EvilMonk> arrenlex: does this mean i don't need the frequency scaling hack mentioned on http://www.math.dartmouth.edu/~sarunas/D620F6.html
[07:41] <dager> monsoon_king: are they on the same hard-drive, or two seperate ones?
[07:41] <K3nto> yes i realize all that, im at the guide. i just wanted an opinon or two on the use of the command ntfsfix
[07:41] <T3hMikey> ant: er, AIM tarball, I mean
[07:41] <rohinton> K3nto - I have used it -
[07:41] <arrenlex> EvilMonk: Your frequency IS scaled, as you saw. You don't need any hacks.
[07:41] <rohinton> K3nto: it worked for me.
[07:41] <arrenlex> EvilMonk: If you want to manually set a mode, run the command "sudo powersave --help"
[07:42] <K3nto> rohinton: anything bad happen? data loss? it just resets the journal right?
[07:42] <EvilMonk> arrenlex: ok. awesome. thanks again.
[07:42] <ant> T3hMikey: after you extract the tarball just follow the instructions for install.
[07:42] <arrenlex> EvilMonk: It will give you lots of nice options for setting all sorts of modes on all your hardware.
[07:42] <rohinton> K3nto: yep and also fix up the boot block.
[07:42] <ant> T3hMikey: there will be a readme
[07:42] <K3nto> ok good ty
[07:42] <mojo> kalorin: did you give me the new link?  i missed it
[07:42] <kalorin> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9593/
[07:42] <kalorin> there it is
[07:42] <mojo> kalorin: gracias
[07:42] <T3hMikey> ant: would it be this file called "install"?
[07:42] <kalorin> sorry it claimed I was trying to spam the pastebin cause I was posting an update
[07:42] <K3nto> rohinton: and how did you run it? just type ntfsfix?
[07:43] <kalorin> everything now seems to make sense except I'm not sure about the monitor section
[07:43] <ant> T3hMikey: that or readme
[07:43] <ant> T3hMikey: use gedit or nano to read the file
[07:43] <monsoon_king> dager same hardisk diff partioins
[07:44] <stian2> is anyone able to access shared folders in Vista from ubuntu (or linux in general)? If I go to places -> network servers -> machine I get a dialog that prompts me for a username/password. If I put in the correct username/password the dialog will just re-appear after a couple of seconds. If I mount the share from the console it works fine, but not through the Gnome UI. Anyone have any ideas?
[07:44] <T3hMikey> hm... I think I can get it working now. If not, I'll be back
[07:44] <T3hMikey> thanks
[07:44] <rohinton> K#nto: I would have to do it again, it was some time ago. Try it. I think it put's out a usage message
[07:44] <dager> monsoon_king: the second windows install probably ate Ubuntu, so you might have to reinstall it.. just make sure you install GRUB to the MBR, and you should be set
[07:45] <kalorin> mojo, if you're laughing too hard to type, I have a backup and can start over and be less.... aggressive
[07:45] <kalorin> :)
[07:45] <monsoon_king> dager: so i need to reinstall bot xp and ubuntu?
[07:45] <dager> monsoon_king: no.. just ubuntu, if the windows install wrote over it
[07:45] <mojo> kalorin: i am not laughing.. i am absorbing (alcohol)
[07:45] <kalorin> heh
[07:45] <kalorin> say what?!
[07:46] <monsoon_king> dager: how do i install grub to MBR?
[07:46] <rohinton> monsoon_king: if you install grub - it will work out you have two install and should setup the appropriate boot menu....
[07:46] <dager> monsoon_king: the partition you created for ubuntu.. is it still there? if so, you might just need to rescue grub
[07:46] <monsoon_king> dager:  yeah its still there
[07:46] <kalorin> btw, http://kalorin.com/stuff/CRW_9039.html

[07:47] <anonymeeee>  tomorrow I need to get my windows laptop talking to my ubuntu box
[07:47] <Megaqwerty> can I tar a file directly to a DVD+RW? (preferably using the command line)
[07:47] <mojo> kalorin: i like to keep it light.. and yes i am drinking a beer but fear not, it is only 1 with my meal and i have had all of 2 drinks.  i am not drunk nor going to get even a buzz, so your xorg.config is safe with me ;)
[07:47] <kalorin> http://kalorin.com/stuff/CRW_8995.jpg - that's what that ice storm in cincinnati looked like
[07:47] <anonymeeee> my first question will be, how do I set up ubuntu to join my windows network?
[07:47] <kalorin> mojo, no sweat, I'm not a complete noob so if you told me to do something CRAZY, I'd be questioning more
[07:48] <mojo> lol
[07:48] <kalorin> why is it 1:48am already :(
[07:48] <kalorin> I have to shoot a wedding tomorrow
[07:48] <mojo> the best humor imho comes from nuggets of trugh
[07:48] <kalorin> should be fun

[07:48] <kalorin> photography shoot
[07:48] <kalorin> ;)
[07:49] <kalorin> trying very hard to get started doing that on the side
[07:49] <anonymeeee> anyone know of a wiki on setting up ubuntu as a file server for a windows client?
[07:49] <mojo> kalorin: i know... :)  okay on to the file... lemme read for a minute
[07:49] <kalorin> getting tired of computers
[07:49] <Slynderdale> Does Ubuntu support software raid?
[07:49] <kalorin> Slynderdale, sure
[07:49] <kalorin> Slynderdale, well, the kernel does
[07:49] <kalorin> not that crap in the bios of your pc
[07:49] <Megaqwerty> Can I tar a file directly to a DVD+RW? (preferably using the command line)
[07:49] <kalorin> Megaqwerty, wow, no idea what that would do to be honest, never thought to try
[07:49] <Slynderdale> kalorin: Is ubuntu server good as a server overall or do you suggest another OS?
[07:50] <Crichton> Hey can anyone help, I am running just a DSL gateway server, which shares the net to all my PC's on network. It also connects to VPN's. Now my problem is that the gateway PC can PING / connect to the the VPN server but the other computers on the network can not PING or connect to the VPN server ... im guessing its just a route issue ... but yeah
[07:50] <kalorin> Slynderdale, I've been running debian ever since I gave up on redhat a few years ago, then did ubuntu for my desktop here about 2 weeks ago
[07:50] <kalorin> next time I redo my server it'll be ubuntu
[07:50] <kalorin> not that debian is bad
[07:50] <kalorin> and it's a command line only box anyway, mail, ftp, http, and so on
[07:50] <anonymeeee> nite all, I'll try back tomorrow
[07:51] <Slynderdale> Ubuntu is based off of debian, so they aren't that much different
[07:51] <Megaqwerty> kalorin: how would I send the tarred file to the DVD+RW? (the path to the DVD)
[07:51] <kalorin> yeah
[07:51] <monsoon_king> dager how to rescue grub
[07:51] <kalorin> Megaqwerty, well you could tar it to /dev/wahtever the dvd is
[07:51] <kalorin> but I doubt it'll work like you want
[07:51] <blanky> !recoverubuntuafterinstallingwindows | monsoon_king
[07:51] <kalorin> maybe, tar's pretty clever, but I don't think tar will see a DVD writer as a tape device

[07:53] <kalorin> ah good ol' tahoma :)
[07:53] <mojo> kalorin: actually it looks pretty good...  try it.  if it fails, you might try without the first zero on line 23 as a first-attempt... beyond that we should work in tandem with the X.Org.0.log file to get it all working from what you have now...  You seem to have a good start so let's try it.
[07:53] <kalorin> k let me give it a whirl
[07:53] <kalorin> back in a second
[07:54] <ant> how would i change the font in virtual terminal?
[07:55] <ant> shhh
[07:56] <computrius> in ubuntu, I have downloaded, and installed the firmware for dwl 520 E.  modprobe hostap returns no errors.  Yet it does not create a network interface.  Any idea why it woundnt?
[07:56] <mojo> ant: you need to pass a parameter to the kernel when it boots, i think... like vga=somemagicnumber on the line in your grub configuration that boots your kernel.
[07:56] <mojo> ant: i have no idea how to change it post-boot
[07:57] <ant> mojo: its a direction, thx
[07:57] <mojo> ant yw
[07:57] <lkthomas> guys
[07:57] <cyris> hey everyone
[07:57] <lkthomas> lspci and modprobe shows e100 have been loaded
[07:57] <Taime1> can someone hellp me troubleshoot this: im having trouble playing a stream
[07:57] <vicente> later all
[07:57] <lkthomas> but when I try ifconfig eth0, it said device not found
