[06:11] <kdefrysk> prestosd, sorry :(
[06:11] <prestosd> urg
[06:11] <bountu> vader: ctrl+alt+backspace kills a normal X session, sending you back to textmode or gdm/kdm.
[06:11] <vader> k, that sometimes hurts the sound lol
[06:11] <prestosd> kdefrysk, I've reinstalled, and done just about everything else to my drivers
[06:11] <simen> oki
[06:11] <kdefrysk> did you rerun sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:11] <vader> bountu, it reboots the pc

[06:15] <[erisco] > kdefrysk, how should I run the make command then?
[06:15] <kdefrysk> no run ./configure
[06:15] <soundray> geokok: I will try, but right now I'm fixing some hard disk trouble. Won't be till after the weekend.
[06:15] <kdefrysk> then rum make
[06:15] <kdefrysk> run*
[06:15] <[erisco] > kdefrysk, I did run ./configure
[06:16] <kdefrysk> [erisco] , try gmake
[06:16] <prestosd> kdefrysk, okay! I ran all the defaults EXCEPT the resolutions! Now should i reboot or do something else first?
[06:16] <[erisco] > kdefrysk, command not found
[06:16] <geokok> soundray: No problem. Just make a relevant post in the forums saying where the report is so that me and others can confirm the bug

[06:16] <Xal2> Hi
[06:16] <[erisco] > kdefrysk, yes I did
[06:17] <soundray> kdefrysk: bet he's in the wrong dir
[06:17] <kdefrysk> what package is it ?
[06:17] <Xal2> Linux isn't seeing my partitions. They showed up correclty in my previous Ubuntu installation, but in setup, it shows a hard drive with no partitions.
[06:17] <kdefrysk> soundray, who knows :D
[06:17] <[erisco] > Gaim, the beta release
[06:17] <Xal2> I tried to enter qtparted, but I get the following error:
[06:17] <Xal2> critical error during ped_disk_new
[06:17] <kdefrysk> [erisco] , good luck with that one
[06:17] <[erisco] > kdefrysk, is it not known to work well
[06:17] <kdefrysk> [erisco] , in dapper ?
[06:18] <[erisco] > kdefrysk, how do you mean?
[06:18] <Xal2> Can anyone here help me out?
[06:18] <kdefrysk> [erisco] , if you are in edgy eft you have almost the latest gaim
[06:18] <darko> can u play games on ubuntu
[06:18] <soundray> Xal2: I'm not familiar with that error, but I hope you have a backup...
[06:18] <[erisco] > kdefrysk, there is a bug going around with gaim or msn that is causing gaim to crash, which is why I am going to try the beta release
[06:19] <kdefrysk> [erisco] , does your gaim crash ?
[06:19] <Xal2> soundray: I don't care about the files... It's just that I don't want to start this crap over.
[06:19] <[erisco] > kdefrysk, yes
[06:19] <foormea> hey, do you know how to make Eterm look better under gnome? cause it gets with 2 sets of edges, gnome's and itself's
[06:19] <kdefrysk> wow
[06:19] <Xal2> Any idea why it would do this?
[06:19] <kdefrysk> [erisco] , mine never crashes
[06:19] <Xal2> The partition table should be fine.
[06:19] <soundray> Xal2: no, but I would just try creating a new partition table. I.e. treat the disk as if it was brand new.
[06:19] <shape_> thank you
[06:20] <kdefrysk> [erisco] , what version of ubuntu are you running ?
[06:20] <[erisco] > kdefrysk, mine has over and over randomly... http://gaim.sourceforge.net/index.php it was a reported problem in the news
[06:20] <[erisco] > kdefrysk, 6.06
[06:20] <soundray> Xal2: you haven't modified any settings in the BIOS setup relating to LBA or similar?
[06:20] <Xal2> Hmm, I wish that wasn't the only option, lol
[06:20] <Xal2> No
[06:20] <kdefrysk> [erisco] , I rarely say this but in your case I would grab the latest .package of gaim and install that
[06:20] <alecjw> does anyone know of any low - rescource file managers for fluxbox?
[06:20] <darko> can u play games suck as fifa 2006, rome total war, and games as such on ubuntu
[06:21] <bountu> alecjw: midnight commander in rxvt ;?)
[06:21] <soundray> Xal2: check the output of 'sudo fdisk -l'. Any partitions seen by that tool?
[06:21] <prestosd> darko usually
[06:21] <prestosd> darko: depends
[06:21] <Doow> dark: some of them probably work under wine
[06:21] <[erisco] > kdefrysk, is ".package" referred to as an extension?
[06:21] <alecjw> bountu: is midnight commanger graphical?
[06:21] <Xal2> Yes
[06:21] <Xal2> Fdisk sees all my partitions.
[06:21] <notwist> How come my xbox can see my samba-shares fine, but Vista and XP says it needs user and password? :S
[06:21] <prestosd> darko: check out www.frankscorner.org
[06:21] <bountu> alecjw: Yes and no.  It's textmode-graphics
[06:21] <prestosd> it has great info on windows apps in linux
[06:21] <alecjw> bountu: like aptitude?
[06:22] <bountu> alecjw: gnome-commander exists as a graphical version, not sure how dependent it is on the presence of gnome though
[06:22] <alecjw> o, thanks bountu
[06:22] <alecjw> *ok
[06:22] <soundray> Xal2: some good news at least...
[06:22] <prestosd> kdefrysk, no go ;(
[06:22] <bountu> alecjw: yeah, kind of like aptitude
[06:22] <Xal2> Do I just need to repair it somehow?
[06:22] <soundray> Xal2: is downloading and installing from the Alternate CD an option for you?
[06:22] <jamesrose> How do i upgrade beryl?
[06:23] <Xal2> I tried taht.
[06:23] <kdefrysk> prestosd, my bad :(
[06:23] <Xal2> that*
[06:23] <Xal2> It shows the same thing.
[06:23] <prestosd> kdefrysk, no, its not your fault
[06:23] <soundray> Xal2: that's seriously weird.
[06:23] <prestosd> gtg
[06:23] <kdefrysk> prestosd, get a nice nvidia vid card
[06:23] <[erisco] > kdefrysk, I was trying the tar one, maybe the rpm will work
[06:23] <kdefrysk> [erisco] , nope
[06:23] <kdefrysk> they all wont
[06:24] <soundray> Xal2: could you get another HD and use it as the system disk? You would then have a larger choice of tools to repair the problematic disk with.
[06:24] <kdefrysk> [erisco] , the .package is a static version , witch is more likely to work on dapper
[06:24] <Xal2> No
[06:24] <[erisco] > kdefrysk, really? Where can I find a .package file?
[06:24] <Xal2> Unfortunately not
[06:25] <jason0_> How do I completely uninstall ndiswrapper?
[06:25] <soundray> Xal2: you currently have a working older ubuntu on that disk?
[06:25] <Er-Gladiatore> hello
[06:25] <Xal2> No, I just formatted it, actually. I wanted to do a full reinstall because I wanted the new version.
[06:25] <Xal2> I had 6.06 upgraded to 6.10, and it didn't work too well.
[06:26] <soundray> Xal2: you formatted it how?
[06:26] <kdefrysk> [erisco] , give me a sec so i can have a look
[06:26] <Xal2> I used Acronis Disk Manager, but that wasn't the problem. I tried this before I formatted, too, but the disk still showed up like this.
[06:26] <UmbraAdmin> How can i fix a Kernal Panic - not syncing:VFS:Unable to mount root fs.  when i move the disc to another comp ?
[06:27] <dope12345> it would seem as though wireless in ubuntu is pretty much impossible
[06:27] <UmbraAdmin> kernel
[06:27] <kdefrysk> [erisco] , its not available unfortunately
[06:27] <Xal2> dope12345: look up directions for ndiswrapper and wpa_supplicant. I have found those two applications to be the easiest solution for wireless networking.
[06:28] <axisys> !asterisk
[06:28] <ubotu> asterisk: Open Source Private Branch Exchange (PBX). In component universe, is optional. Version 1:<IP_ADDRESS>.dfsg-1ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 137 kB, installed size 400 kB
[06:28] <soundray> Xal2: you could try rewriting the same partition table that fdisk -l sees, by running fdisk /dev/hdX and typing 'w'.
[06:28] <[erisco] > kdefrysk, ah well thanks for your help anyways. Hopefully whatever bug is flying around is with MSN and not gaim, and will just magically "go away" sometime soon ;)
[06:28] <kdefrysk> [erisco] , maybe upgrade to edgy might help you out :)
[06:28] <dope12345> i've got ndiswrapper but for some reason i can't connect to any networks
[06:28] <dope12345> i can see them
[06:28] <[erisco] > kdefrysk, what is edgy?
[06:28] <[erisco] > !edgy
[06:28] <ubotu> Ubuntu 6.10 (codenamed Edgy Eft) is the latest version of Ubuntu. To upgrade to Edgy, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades - To download Edgy: http://www.ubuntu.com/download
[06:28] <dope12345> i have the broadcom 4306 card
[06:29] <Xal2> I'll have to finish this later, but that command does not work. It says it cannot open the disk.
[06:29] <soundray> UmbraAdmin: you need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst in the system partition, updating the boot entry to the new root device name
[06:29] <Doow> UmbraAdmin: it could be that your disk is identified as some other device on the new comp, boot up with other OS on the new comp and check if it identifies as the same disk, otherwise you'll have to edit your fstab
[06:29] <kdefrysk> thats about it yes ;)
[06:29] <[erisco] > kdefrysk, WHAT?!? they have yet another one?
[06:29] <kdefrysk> [erisco] , where did you come from ?
[06:29] <soundray> Xal2: sudo fdisk /dev/hdX then
[06:29] <abo> in gaim, in msn chat, how can I invite someone to a conversation?
[06:29] <[erisco] > kdefrysk, under a box
[06:29] <Doow> UmbraAdmin: go with soundrays advice first, he probably know this better =)
[06:29] <[erisco] > kdefrysk, I thought 6.06 was going to be the last
[06:29] <UmbraAdmin> hmm soundray it should be the same since its still on Master 0
[06:30] <[erisco] > kdefrysk, can I upgrade my install without reformatting? :o
[06:30] <soundray> Doow: thanks...
[06:30] <Doow> soundray: np =)
[06:30] <dope12345> what driver do you guys use for the 4306 broadcom cards?
[06:30] <soundray> UmbraAdmin: is it a SATA disk?
[06:30] <UmbraAdmin> nope
[06:30] <notwist> How come my xbox can see my samba-shares fine, but Vista and XP says it needs user and password? :S
[06:30] <kdefrysk> [erisco] , you can , make sure to back up remove all alein material and after dist-upgrade make sure to sudo apt-get install (k)ubuntu-desktop
[06:30] <[erisco] > kdefrysk, aww it is only supported for 18 months though... maybe I shouldn't bother to upgrade
[06:30] <soundray> UmbraAdmin: is it the only disk in the system?
[06:31] <UmbraAdmin> yes soundray
[06:31] <[erisco] > kdefrysk, probably not going to be of much benefit for me to upgrade anyways
[06:31] <UmbraAdmin> it also say unkown block (o,o)
[06:31] <Sirron> How would I go about assosciating .exe files with wine please? o.O
[06:31] <kdefrysk> [erisco] , as A desktop user wanting the latest and the greatest you'd better upgrade every 6 months
[06:31] <UmbraAdmin> 0,0
[06:31] <LinuxHelp> Sirron, binfmt something..
[06:32] <soundray> UmbraAdmin: maybe the access mode is different. Any options in the BIOS letting you set LBA or similar?
[06:32] <kdefrysk> [erisco] , but thats all up to you of course :)
[06:32] <specialbuddy> how do I mount a portable ext2 harddrive?
[06:32] <LinuxHelp> apt-get install binfmt-support
[06:32] <soundray> specialbuddy: USB?
[06:32] <specialbuddy> yeah
[06:32] <UmbraAdmin> hmm ill check that soundray
[06:32] <kdefrysk> automauths iiRc
[06:32] <soundray> specialbuddy: should show up as you plug it in.
[06:32] <kdefrysk> automaunts
[06:32] <[erisco] > kdefrysk, *sigh* well not for a while at least. Upgrading from 6.06 will be nothing but troubles so I will probably back up and reformat
[06:33] <Sirron> ok, I'll try it, cheers LinuxHelp
[06:33] <specialbuddy> well it did but I changed fstab so that it will mount to a location I want it in
[06:33] <[erisco] > kdefrysk, but I mean even coming from 5.10 to 6.06, what is the difference? *shrug*
[06:33] <kdefrysk> [erisco] , good choice , and make a seperate /home so there is less hassle
[06:33] <specialbuddy> /dev/sda5 /media/usbbackup auto defaults,rw,nosuid,quiet,shortname=mixed,users,iocharset=utf8 0 0
[06:33] <[erisco] > kdefrysk, how do you mean separate /home?
[06:33] <futureng> How can i find turkish cahnnel?
[06:34] <LinuxHelp> Sirron, I also think that the "wine" package needs to "register" the .exe file format with binfmt-support, not really sure though
[06:34] <beasty> wootzoot
[06:34] <sonium_> does evolution mail have a GPG support?
[06:34] <sonium_> like enigmail
[06:34] <soundray> specialbuddy: 'sudo mount -a' then, and remove 'auto,defaults' from the fstab entry
[06:34] <kdefrysk> [erisco] , if you make a seperate /home your settings and files will stay inthere for the /home is not needed to reformat for a new install
[06:34] <UmbraAdmin> soundray my grub looks like this ->
[06:34] <UmbraAdmin> Root	(hd0,0)
[06:34] <UmbraAdmin> Kernel	/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-9-386

[06:34] <UmbraAdmin> initrd /boot/initrd.img-<IP_ADDRESS>-386
[06:34] <UmbraAdmin> if that helps
[06:34] <soundray> UmbraAdmin: don't paste here
[06:34] <kdefrysk> you your /home/username will remain preserved
[06:34] <Sirron> Linuxhelp, ok, I just came from their channel and they sent me here :P it's like commerical tech support
[06:34] <UmbraAdmin> sorry
[06:34] <abo> in gaim, in msn chat, how can I invite someone to a conversation?
[06:34] <LinuxHelp> :P
[06:35] <specialbuddy> this is the error I get - wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda5
[06:35] <[erisco] > kdefrysk, so I just backup the whole /home directory :P Right? Cool. Actually I wouldn't mind dumping a lot of it heh, getting a little messy. Probably just keep my desktop items and a couple folders from home
[06:35] <Joe_SWAU> Hi, I am having troubles. I need to install something from source. I don't have the build-essential package installed. I can't connect to the internet.
[06:35] <Sirron> meh, I'll go to the forum then, if it can be done. thanks
[06:35] <kdefrysk> !backup
[06:35] <ubotu> There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi
[06:35] <kdefrysk> [erisco] , read what ubotu said
[06:36] <soundray> UmbraAdmin: "Root=..." should be in the same line as kernel and should be lowercase
[06:36] <dope12345> anyone here using wireless with ubuntu and using the broadcom 4306
[06:36] <acidspoon> hi @ll
[06:36] <UmbraAdmin> my misstake it is soundray
[06:36] <acidspoon> does anybody know how to burn mdf-images in ubuntu?
[06:37] <bountu> 'lsmod' shows a heap of stuff I don't need - what do I edit or run to trim out the modules I don't need so they won't load on boot any more?
[06:37] <slavik> dope12345: 4318 here, I feel your pain
[06:37] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: there's a good chance build-essential is on the Ubuntu install CD; do you have one?
[06:37] <dope12345> how do i get this thing to work 123$%#$^%#$
[06:37] <slavik> bountu: how do you know you don't need those modules?
[06:37] <Joe_SWAU> roryy: Yes, I do. (Well, it is the LiveCD version.)
[06:37] <slavik> roryy: more than a good chance, it IS there :P
[06:37] <slavik> well, the dapper one anyway
[06:37] <futureng> what is the "synaptic" how is it use?
[06:37] <bountu> slavik: er... bluetooth modules, for instance, I know I don't need those since there's no single bluetooth device on the box
[06:37] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: have you installed Ubuntu, or are you running from the Live CD ?
[06:38] <slavik> bountu: good point
[06:38] <Joe_SWAU> roryy: How do I get it from there? I have installed Ubuntu.
[06:38] <alecjw> dope12345: i am. i'll give u a link to a tutorial
[06:38] <slavik>  /etc/default ... or some such
[06:38] <[erisco] > kdefrysk, how screwy, my browser is trying to display the iso rather than download it. Wtf :P
[06:38] <abo> futureng, synaptic is a gui frontend for apt-get.. very handy to install programs
[06:38] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: what happens if you install 'build-essential' using Synaptic? Does it ask you to insert the CD?
[06:38] <Joe_SWAU> roryy: I can try.
[06:38] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: what version of Ubuntu are you running?
[06:39] <abo> futureng to launch it, go to System>Administration>Synaptic
[06:39] <bountu> slavik: all sorts of little things like that, I see a lot of ram spent that I could save :/

[06:40] <kinuxer>  I have met this problem when I install fedora,ubuntu,hiweed,and suse 10.2alpa,but it is ok with suse 10.1!
[06:40] <kdefrysk> good stuff
[06:41] <dope12345> alecjw: did you use the bcmcutter app or ndiswrapper?
[06:41] <kdefrysk> suse is now $u$e peeps
[06:41] <kdefrysk> dont forget that
[06:41] <soundray> UmbraAdmin: that grub entry... has it changed from what it was in the previous machine?
[06:41] <alecjw> dope12345: fwcutter
[06:41] <UmbraAdmin> nope
[06:41] <PingunZ> alecjw, I'm kinda sure you're not a noob since I've seen your name before and that is at least 2 months ago :)
[06:41] <dope12345> where can i get that package at
[06:41] <dope12345> without using apt-get
[06:41] <alecjw> PingunZ: i'm sill quite new. i've been using it for about 4m months
[06:42] <soundray> PingunZ: hey, I've been at this for twelve years and I'm still a newbie...
[06:42] <dope12345> wait i think i found it
[06:42] <slavik> bountu: look at top
[06:42] <slavik> do 'top' in terminal, it reports true memory usage
[06:42] <PingunZ> soundray, 2 years ? that's 3 years after the first minix ( linux ) version
[06:42] <dope12345> alecjw: what driver did you use?
[06:42] <PingunZ> *12
[06:42] <slavik> bountu: you can also recompile your kernel and compile in only the drivers for the devices you have :)

[06:43] <slavik> bountu: are you on edgy or dapper?
[06:43] <bountu> slavik: dapper
[06:43] <Joe_SWAU> rorry: It says that I need to insert a cd, and I have already.
[06:43] <axisys> !beryl > futureng
[06:43] <soundray> PingunZ: Minix is older, but Linux was just 3 then, that's right. First kernel I used was 1.2.9
[06:43] <slavik> k, hang on
[06:43] <alecjw> dope12345: yes. it works almost flawlessley

[06:44] <axisys> any asterisk expert w/ ubuntu edgy?
[06:45] <Joe_SWAU> rorry: It won't recognize that I have the disc in.
[06:45] <kdefrysk> axisys, /j #asterisk
[06:45] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: hmm
[06:45] <slavik> bountu: add the module to /etc/module.d/blacklist
[06:45] <lect0r> Hi, whats the proper way to reset the mysql root password?
[06:45] <axisys> kdefrysk: they may not be ubuntu specific
[06:46] <eneried> hello boys, i need a little help, i updated to edgy, but i miss the old way to manage users in dapper, edgy one is a stupid and limited tool, there's a better one?
[06:46] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: Do you see a CD icon on your desktop?
[06:46] <kdefrysk> axisys, asterisk = asterisk
[06:46] <Doow> lect0r: the official site has really good documentation
[06:46] <Joe_SWAU> Yes.
[06:46] <finsta> Hello people, I'm wondering if you guys can help me out with an issue and partitioning
[06:46] <bountu> slavik: ooh, thanks :)
[06:46] <axisys> kdefrysk: wanted to install using apt-get .. not sure if there is any gotcha
[06:46] <Joe_SWAU> rorry: Yes.
[06:46] <kdefrysk> !info asterisk
[06:46] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: and you're sure this is the CD you used to install Ubuntu with?
[06:46] <ubotu> asterisk: Open Source Private Branch Exchange (PBX). In component universe, is optional. Version 1:<IP_ADDRESS>.dfsg-1ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 137 kB, installed size 400 kB
[06:47] <Doow> !ask | finsta
[06:47] <ubotu> finsta: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:47] <kdefrysk> axisys, if you have universe open in your repo you can simply install it with apt-get
[06:47] <axisys> kdefrysk: i know that.. i guess what I was looking for is if there is any gotcha.. precaution.. blah
[06:47] <finsta> I have a T42 with resizing issues, I can't reinstall the OS but when I resize the Win partition it dies out
[06:47] <[erisco] > kdefrysk, so I can just make a tar of my directory in home, right? hehe cool
[06:47] <finsta> I'm wondering if you people have any ideas on getting Ubuntu on it
[06:47] <Joe_SWAU> rorry: Yes.
[06:47] <kinuxer> who can help me?
[06:47] <eneried> hey people, did anybody read my question?
[06:47] <kdefrysk> [erisco] , read the links and make your backup ;)
[06:48] <finsta> Resizing kills the partition then I have to restore a Ghost image
[06:48] <lect0r> Doow: indeed it does. dial-up be damned. I am waiting for google to laod the pages. but hey, asking never hurts does it? :D
[06:48] <hosky> hi! i have a rare bug >.<
[06:48] <hosky> when i plug my ac cable in my laptop
[06:48] <Doow> lect0r: =)
[06:48] <hosky> cpu usage up to 100% :s
[06:48] <finsta> Sounds like there's an issue with power scaling
[06:49] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: OK, I will try to help you install build-essential via the command-line.  Synaptic should work, but we may get better error messages the other way
[06:49] <finsta> Anybody have solutions for me?
[06:49] <hosky> switch beteween 0%->100%->0%->100%->0%->100%->0%->100%-> etc....
[06:49] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: please close synaptic. Open a terminal (should be Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal).  Oh, by the way, what version of Ubuntu are you running?
[06:49] <kinuxer> Hi,I have a question like that I can install ubuntu 5.10 with everything all right,but when I install the newer version 6.06 or other os like fedora,it can't recongize my sound device!The same problem happens when I update from 5.10 to 6.06!!why ?
[06:49] <kinuxer> kinuxer kinuxer <U32644> Hi,I have a question like that I can install ubuntu 5.10 with everything all right,but when I install the newer version 6.06 or other os like fedora,it can't recongize my sound device!The same problem happens when I update from 5.10 to 6.06!!why ? could anybody help me?
[06:49] <kinuxer> kinuxer kinuxer  Please help me,Thank you!
[06:49] <kinuxer> kinuxer kinuxer  I have met this problem when I install fedora,ubuntu,hiweed,and suse 10.2alpa,but it is ok with suse 10.1!
[06:49] <hosky> i try stopping acpi services etc but cpu always usage 100%
[06:49] <kdefrysk> [erisco] , if your hd is gonna be wiped make sure to burn your backup to some cd or whatever
[06:49] <Joe_SWAU> roryy: I am using 6.10.
[06:49] <hosky> with dapper work nice
[06:50] <axisys> kdefrysk: have u tried 6.10?
[06:50] <finsta> Yeah, but I can't wipe it. It's an IBM laptop
[06:50] <Doow> Is there any reason for Nautilus to use 44% of my cpu? I don't even have a window with it open
[06:50] <axisys> kdefrysk: oops
[06:50] <lect0r> So are we allowed to talk about 6.10 in here? I just saw the release pages. Am kinda excited- especially the new gnome features- but can't help wondering- how's performance on 6.10?
[06:50] <[erisco] > kdefrysk, well duh lol :P
[06:50] <Joe_SWAU> roryy: Ok, I am there. What do I need to do now?
[06:50] <axisys> kinuxer: have u tried 6.10?
[06:50] <kdefrysk> axisys, I run it ;)
[06:50] <finsta> hosky, check top to see if you have something that eats up 100%
[06:50] <[erisco] > kdefrysk, I can just put it onto a windows computer and transfer it back, no?
[06:50] <lect0r> i noticed that 6.06 was considerably slower (interface and all) than breezy.
[06:50] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: OK, first please run 'ls /media/cdrom' -- you should see a list of files and directories, including 'isolinux' and 'pool', amongst others
[06:50] <axisys> kdefrysk: tab completion .. sorry.. meant to ask kinuxer
[06:50] <kdefrysk> [erisco] , of course
[06:51] <hosky> finsta I don't see any process up more to 1% or 2%
[06:51] <Joe_SWAU> roryy: It shows nothing.
[06:51] <kinuxer> no yet
[06:51] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: hmm
[06:51] <hosky> but in top, in "cpu" put 50 o more
[06:51] <kdefrysk> axisys, darn tab completion ;p
[06:51] <hosky> wait, see you a screen
[06:51] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: but you do see a CD icon on your desktop?
[06:51] <Joe_SWAU> roryy: It shows up in cdrom1.
[06:51] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: ah-ha
[06:51] <finsta> What laptop are you using, is it a Centrino/Pentium M?
[06:51] <Joe_SWAU> roryy: I have 2 cd drives.
[06:51] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: you have two CD drives?
[06:51] <rag> i'm in laptop alternate cd which not detect any network card on installation start of alternate cd
[06:51] <warkruid> kinuxer: tried to run program alsamixer yet?
[06:52] <axisys> kdefrysk: i still like irssi
[06:52] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: try putting the CD in the other drive and running synaptic again
[06:52] <axisys> kdefrysk: nah.. i like cli
[06:52] <Joe_SWAU> roryy: I have a cd in both drives.
[06:52] <kdefrysk> used since day one
[06:52] <hosky> finsta see -> http://img372.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sreencl5.png
[06:52] <rag> which module do i load?
[06:52] <LinuxHelp> How does one count the number of lines in a file again?
[06:52] <warkruid> LinuxHelp: wc -l
[06:52] <kdefrysk> axisys, I like the cli yes but not for chatting
[06:52] <axisys> LinuxHelp: wc -l
[06:52] <hosky> its only when i plug the ac adapter
[06:52] <rag> which module do i load basic network? ethernet
[06:52] <LinuxHelp> thx
[06:52] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: I think (though I'm not sure) that Synaptic (and apt, etc) want this CD in cdrom0
[06:52] <axisys> kdefrysk: heh
[06:53] <lect0r> Hi, i've also got another problem with my DVD-ROM on ubuntu. It works fine on windows- problem is, when i try to use it, it just keeps giving off the "bread check failed"
[06:53] <lect0r> Have to do a hdparm -w /dev/hdc everytime.
[06:53] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: it may be possible to convince them otherwise, but it will be simplest just to swap the CDs
[06:53] <mixandgo> any idea why there are a few filtered ports in ubuntu edgy default install ?
[06:53] <kinuxer> has tried,but it sasy no device it could recognize
[06:53] <finsta> hosky, I suggest you check on the forums
[06:53] <[erisco] > kdefrysk, "tar -cvpzf ../ericbackup.tgz" "tar: Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive" what is wrong?
[06:53] <finsta> I have no idea
[06:53] <lect0r> in order to get it to work. any ideas what may be causing the problem.
[06:53] <Joe_SWAU> roryy: They are both install cds.
[06:53] <finsta> I think it has to do with buggy power scaling
[06:53] <[erisco] > kdefrysk, I ran that on my desktop
[06:53] <Sir_Brizz> !gamepad
[06:53] <Joe_SWAU> roryy: Same disc in each drive.
[06:53] <warkruid> kinuxer: oops..
[06:53] <hosky> finsta i don't find any post in laptop section
[06:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gamepad - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:53] <Sir_Brizz> does anyone know about configuring a gamepad on Ubuntu?
[06:53] <hosky> and i don't find any bug en lauchpad bugtrack
[06:53] <warkruid> kinuxer: laptop or pc?
[06:54] <kdefrysk> [erisco] , tar blabla <naam.tar>
[06:54] <kdefrysk> bijvoorbeeld
[06:54] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: ok, does 'ls /media/cdrom0' show the same contents as 'ls /media/cdrom1' ?
[06:54] <finsta> I suggest you post your issue in the laptop area, I'm thinking it is an issue with power scaling since it is only when you plug in the AC
[06:54] <shape> guys in wich rep frostwire is?
[06:54] <kinuxer> what is laptop?
[06:54] <kdefrysk> [erisco] , you have to give the package a name
[06:54] <Joe_SWAU> roryy: It shows nothing.
[06:54] <warkruid> kinuxer: is your computer a laptop or a normal pc
[06:55] <[erisco] > kdefrysk, is that not what I did with "../ericbackup.tgz"?
[06:55] <kinuxer> a normal pc
[06:55] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: OK. please run 'mount /media/cdrom0' and then try 'ls /media/cdrom0' again
[06:55] <kinuxer> with asus k8n4-e
[06:55] <warkruid> kinuxer: what kind of soundcard do you have?
[06:55] <mixandgo> any idea why there are a few filtered ports in ubuntu edgy default install ?
[06:56] <variant> mixandgo: there are not
[06:56] <mixandgo> variant, yes there are
[06:56] <Joe_SWAU> roryy: It says special device /dev/hdd does not exist.
[06:56] <variant> mixandgo: no, there arn't
[06:56] <warkruid> mixandgo which ones?
[06:56] <mbb> !metacity
[06:56] <ubotu> metacity: A lightweight GTK2 based Window Manager. In component main, is optional. Version 1:2.16.3-0ubuntu2 (edgy), package size 385 kB, installed size 764 kB
[06:56] <mixandgo> variant, let me do a scan...
[06:56] <variant> mixandgo: gimmie the ip and i will to
[06:56] <redeeman> i don't think ubuntu filters anything by default
[06:57] <mixandgo> variant, <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:57] <kinuxer> soundcard integration in asus k8n4-e
[06:57] <variant> mixandgo: edgy doesn't even come with a firewall
[06:57] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: odd.  Have you changed your hardware at all since installing?
[06:57] <mixandgo> 135-139 445 1433 5900
[06:57] <Doow> variant: ipchains seems to be there
[06:57] <warkruid> kinuxer: if you run the command "lspci" does the name of the soundcard get mentioned?
[06:57] <mbb> I have a few issues with metacity on a PC limited to 800x600 - can anyone point me to a resource (irc, forum, etc) for more help?
[06:58] <Joe_SWAU> roryy: Yes.
[06:58] <kdefrysk> [erisco] , ricghtclick the folder in nautilus and choose compress it or something ;p
[06:58] <Joe_SWAU> roryy: I installed a different sound card.
[06:58] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: hm. wouldn't have thought that would affect the cdrom drives
[06:58] <Doow> variant: iptables I mean of course
[06:58] <kinuxer> no,just like"Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation: Unknown device"
[06:59] <kdefrysk> [erisco] , als make sure to compress it to a place where you have rights
[06:59] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: it may be easiest just to get apt to look at the other cd-rom drive
[06:59] <variant> Doow: it should not be activated
[06:59] <Joe_SWAU> roryy: I also switched where the cdroms were pluged in for the IDE cables, and Which was master etc...
[06:59] <variant> !iptables
[06:59] <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).
[06:59] <kdefrysk> I have to go
[06:59] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: ah-ha
[06:59] <warkruid> kinuxer: double oops.. the soundcard isn't recognized.
[06:59] <kdefrysk> bye all
[06:59] <cryptonic> iv made the kde gui the default how do i revert to gnome?
[06:59] <Joe_SWAU> roryy: It shows up fine on the bios.
[06:59] <[erisco] > kdefrysk, well the gui seems to be having a good go at it
[06:59] <kdefrysk> cool :0
[06:59] <kinuxer> now i am running 5.10,it is ok for sound,but when in 6.06,it can't run
[06:59] <clop> hi, i use gdm as my login; is there a way to get a shell script i wrote to start executing each time i log in?
[07:00] <Joe_SWAU> I made the faster cd-drive primary master 2nd cd drive primary slave, and hard drive secondary master.
[07:00] <warkruid> kinuxer: it seems as if the module for your soundcard is missing in 6.06.. strange.
[07:00] <variant> mixandgo: all that shows is that there is a firewall
[07:00] <shape> which are the dependencies for frostwire....i suppose something about java but i don't know exactly
[07:00] <kinuxer> i also meet this problem when i install fedora,and suse10.2
[07:00] <cryptonic> iv made the kde gui the default how do i revert to gnome?
[07:01] <kinuxer> yes!i think it is
[07:01] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: the machine in question is not connected to the internet, correct?
[07:01] <kinuxer> i am so trouble with it
[07:01] <Joe_SWAU> roryy: I can't connect it to the internet. Otherwise all my problems would be solved. *GRIN*
[07:01] <[erisco] > kdefrysk, awesome my desktop was backed up :)
[07:02] <mixandgo> variant, I can't connect to remote-desktop ! in dapper I could
[07:02] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: if you run 'cat /etc/fstab' you should see one line with something like '/dev/hd?    /media/cdrom0 ...', and another with '/dev/hd?    /media/cdrom1 ...'
[07:02] <warkruid> kinuxer: i can imagine.
[07:02] <[erisco] > kdefrysk, I never really care about installing apps again. That usually means I forget the ones I have installed and never used, which is a good thing
[07:02] <johns^> cryptonic: update-alternatives x-session-manager
[07:02] <warkruid> kinuxer: is your computer new or old?
[07:02] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: if we tweak those lines, by replacing the '?' with the right thing, we can get all this working again
[07:03] <johns^> sorry: sudo update-alternatives --config x-session-manager
[07:03] <cryptonic> johns^ : update-alternatives: unknown argument `x-session-manager'
[07:03] <adilson> www.gamespot.com
[07:03] <kinuxer> i have  bought it only one more years. how could i do,simplely?could you give me a sugestion?
[07:03] <adilson> site muito 10 sobre games mas tem videos
[07:03] <adilson> e nao consigo ver
[07:03] <adilson> o que pode ser?
[07:03] <kinuxer> so i think it is still new
[07:03] <warkruid> kinuxer: moment..
[07:04] <shape> something about frostwire?
[07:04] <Joe_SWAU> roryy: Ok, It says. "/dev/hdd  /media/cdrom0" and "/dev/hda     /media/cdrom1"
[07:04] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: ok. hda is primary master, hdb is primary slave, hdc is secondary master and hdd is secondary slave
[07:05] <adieu> :)
[07:05] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: i'd guess you want hda for cdrom0 and hdb for cdrom1, but the other way around works too
[07:05] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: unmount cdrom1 first ('sudo umount /media/cdrom1' should do it)
[07:05] <netG> hi
[07:05] <warkruid> kinuxer: it is that "unknown device" in the lspci output that stumps me. I am afraid I can't help you further. :-(
[07:05] <Joe_SWAU> roryy: Ok, how do I edit it? gedit /etc/fstab ?

[07:06] <jerp> I had my cd audio playing before I loaded the libesd-alsa0 file with ap-get from the ubuntuedgyguide.org.  if I take it back out am I gonna lose all the programs in the window "Mark additional required changes?""
[07:06] <abo> when one just installs mysql, what would the default password be?
[07:06] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: yeah, but use 'gksudo gedit /etc/fstab'
[07:06] <pianoboy3333> crimsun: can you help me with my sound?
[07:06] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: or 'sudoedit /etc/fstab' to work in the terminal
[07:06] <kinuxer> oh,it doesn't matter,thank you all the same
[07:06] <shape> guys wherei can find something frostwire's dependencies?
[07:07] <dromer> ok, can anybody tell me where, in Openoffie Writer, I can find the export te PDF image settings ?
[07:07] <kinuxer> i think i have to compile the kernel ,do you think so?
[07:07] <VigoFuse> Greetings, is the Gnome GParted tool included in the 6.10 Edgy Eft ? or should I download and run it before the install?
[07:07] <warkruid> Anyone.. Does 6.06 still support OSS sound modules?
[07:07] <Frogg> This may sound like a silly question but how do i get my extended desktop enabled
[07:08] <Joe_SWAU> roryy: unmount was not found as a command.
[07:08] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: umount - u, not un
[07:08] <dromer> hey Crayden: same as from deoxy.org ? :)
[07:09] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: should've been unmount, but it's about 30 years too late to change it
[07:09] <Joe_SWAU> rory: Hehe, ok.
[07:10] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: ok, now 'mount /media/cdrom0' and 'mount /media/cdrom1' -- nothing should be printed, and you should see two CD icons on your desktop
[07:10] <Crayden> dromer: meeebbe.
[07:10] <dromer> hehe, yes you are ;)
[07:10] <Joe_SWAU> roryy: How do I save the changes?
[07:10] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: you did save /etc/fstab ?
[07:10] <Joe_SWAU> roryy: Not yet. How do I save it?
[07:10] <psycode> I have a system running ubuntu, but i'm not sure which ubuntu version is there. how can i check?
[07:10] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: are you using gedit?
[07:11] <Joe_SWAU> roryy: No, I am using sudoedit like you said.
[07:11] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: ah. Do you see '^G Get Help ^O WriteOut ' at the bottom of the screen ?
[07:11] <Joe_SWAU> roryy: Yes.
[07:12] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: OK, type Ctrl-O and follow the prompts
[07:12] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: accept the default filename
[07:12] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: then Ctrl-X to exit
[07:12] <psycode> anyone?
[07:12] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: and finally 'cat /etc/fstab' to verify the changes
[07:12] <dromer> ok, can anybody tell me where, in Openoffice Writer, I can find the export te PDF image settings? I need to turn on: lossless image
[07:12] <poulap> anyone heard if someone got lucky to play sound on their toshiba laptop with ubuntu?
[07:13] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: you hopefully did not change any other lines
[07:13] <psycode> isn't there a way to find out which ubuntu is running? (5.04/6.06 etc.)
[07:13] <warkruid> poulap: yes me.. toshiba tecra
[07:13] <roryy> psycode: run lsb_release -a
[07:13] <warkruid> poulap: old model though
[07:14] <psycode> roryy, great thanks
[07:14] <Frem> poulap: I've got sound on my Toshiba Satellite (M55-S139)
[07:14] <poulap> me it is a toshiba satleite p100
[07:14] <Joe_SWAU> roryy: Ok, that worked good. Thanks. :-)
[07:14] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: hopefully synaptic Just Works now; let us know if it doesn't
[07:14] <Joe_SWAU> roryy: build-essential is installing now.
[07:14] <roryy> Joe_SWAU: good stuff
[07:14] <poulap> the icon is there and all..... but no sound ever came out of it :(
[07:14] <warkruid> poulap: had to run the program alsamixer first to get decent sound
[07:15] <poulap> i dont even get a beep
[07:15] <poulap> i will try alsamixer
[07:15] <poulap> brb
[07:15] <poulap> thanks
[07:16] <elite_hacker> The ubuntu download page says that I need 192 megs of ram to install the desktop cd.  I only have 128 megs of ram.  how should I install it?
[07:17] <roryy> elite_hacker: you can use the alternate install cd; I'm not sure what the minimum RAM is, but I *think* 128M is enough
[07:17] <alecjw> elite_hacker: use the alternate cd
[07:17] <shwag> Im trying to format a usb drive and it seems to stall at  Writing inode table.
[07:17] <Guest12925> yuhh
[07:18] <psycode> my apt fails connecting to security.ubuntu.com... (and so the download doesn't start) - any ideas why? (from my windows machine on the same LAN i can access security.ubuntu.com)
[07:18] <alecjw> elite_hacker: where do you live and what processor arch do you have? i'll send you a link to the right thin
[07:18] <alecjw> g
[07:18] <Discerer> network probs prolly
[07:18] <VigoFuse> Is the GPart included in the 6.10 Edgy setup or should I download a live CD and run it before installing on an XP box?
[07:18] <Discerer> check ifconfig or iwconfig if you have a wlan
[07:18] <ragnar_123> hey guys!
[07:19] <psycode> Discerer, it has an internal address if that's what you mean by checking ifconfig
[07:19] <adieu> what is the ubuntu equivalent of scandisk and defrag
[07:19] <elite_hacker> alecjw: I just need the "Server install CD", right?
[07:19] <ragnar_123> how do I see the cpu frequency from ubuntu (dapper)?
[07:19] <Discerer> yeah, just wondering if you got an IP
[07:19] <alecjw> elite_hacker: no. the laternate install
[07:20] <elite_hacker> oh?
[07:20] <alecjw> *alternate
[07:20] <elite_hacker> well
[07:20] <psycode> Discerer, you know where do i config DNS?
[07:20] <elite_hacker> I'm on the east coast of the united states and I have an intel
[07:20] <elite_hacker> is there a torrent for it?
[07:20] <eneried> hello
[07:20] <alecjw> elite_hacker: yes there is. is that an intel 32 bit?
[07:20] <Discerer> psycode admin->networking
[07:21] <ladydoor> so i was wondering just now whether there's a way to toggle the default behavior of ls. i've checked the manual and the info doc but didn't see this. In ubuntu, ls tends to just list things in alpha order, ignoring dots and not considering capitals to be different from lowercase. however, i know that I've had times in which it would be useful to see capitals first (such as README) and in which it would be nice to have dotfiles l
[07:21] <ladydoor> isted last. any ideas?
[07:21] <psycode> Discerer, ah, i only have a shell :\
[07:21] <eneried> I need to know where are saved the repositories list in the system?
[07:21] <Discerer> hmm can't remember the command
[07:21] <Discerer> network-settings or something
[07:21] <psycode> anyone know the commands i can use to configure default gateway / dns name servers?
[07:22] <alecjw> elite_hacker: sorry. my geography isn't that good. is the usa north america?
[07:22] <elite_hacker> yes
[07:22] <elite_hacker> nevermind
[07:22] <elite_hacker> i got it
[07:22] <warkruid> psycode: for dns edit resolv.conf
[07:22] <elite_hacker> i just didn't see the 'alternate' cd
[07:22] <alecjw> elite_hacker:  http://mirrors.csumb.edu/ubuntu/edgy/ubuntu-6.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent
[07:22] <Wolf-h26> hello
[07:22] <elite_hacker> thanks
[07:22] <Wolf-h26> i'm new to ubuntu
[07:22] <alecjw> assuming that you have a 32 bit instel and the usa is north america
[07:23] <warkruid> psycode: gateway is set in ifconfig command.
[07:23] <psycode> warkruid, thanks, the dns seems fine though.. is there something similiar to windows's "default gateway"? cause i know i need to change that..
[07:23] <eneried> i added a DVD of ubuntu edgy on the system, i know there's a folder where info about packages inside that CD is placed, but, where is that folder??
[07:23] <Crayden> psycode: If you're not comfortable with the 'Networking' utilitt from the system menu, try editing /etc/resolv.conf for DNS, and 'route' for adding/removing gateways (ie. 'route add default gw <IP_ADDRESS>' will make <IP_ADDRESS> your default gateway)
[07:23] <alecjw> Wolf-h26: welcome to ubuntu! :)
[07:23] <Wolf-h26> Ubuntu destoyed my windows habits,loll :)
[07:23] <Wolf-h26> thanks
[07:23] <Guest12925> turkey turkey
[07:23] <Guest12925> :D
[07:23] <warkruid> psycode: in the ifconfig command forgot the exact syntax.
[07:24] <Guest12925>  love ubuntu :D
[07:24] <Crayden> psycode: just plain 'route' shows the routing table, and you can also use 'ifconfig' (ie. ifconfig eth0) to view and edit IP settings for the ethernet card
[07:24] <psycode> Crayden, warkruid, thanks i'll try that...
[07:25] <jachyra> hi, how can I set up Ubuntu to load a module on startup?
[07:25] <eneried> somebody help me! i need some help on synaptic
[07:25] <Daemonn> tell us what's your problem
[07:25] <lsdmt> whats the easiest way to remove a folder with a bunch of subfolders?
[07:25] <VigoFuse> awe heck, I will just install it, if pooter explodes, I have a fire extinguisher.
[07:25] <psycode> Crayden, am i supposed to "reset" my networking or something to make changes apply?
[07:25] <Wolf-h26> I think i'm gonna hang here for a while
[07:25] <VigoFuse> Thank you kindly
[07:25] <lsdmt> I partially installed wine and can't get remove ~/.wine
[07:26] <Crayden> psycode: No need for that, no
[07:26] <warkruid> psycode: OOPS its the route command . route add default <gateway> metric 1
[07:26] <david_> lsdmt: rm -rf FOLDER (but be careful, this is permanent delete)
[07:26] <Daemonn> lsdmt: use sudo
[07:26] <roryy> ladydoor: one possibility is 'LANG=C ls' to get capital letters first; possibly (probably?) won't support utf-8 filenames, though, and is clunky to boot
[07:26] <Crayden> psycode: ..of course, you need to be root to do anything with that stuff.
[07:26] <ladydoor> roryy: hmmm...oh well
[07:26] <psycode> Crayden, yes i'm aware to that ;)
[07:26] <LinuxHelp> Is there a delay, from when you turn on your computer, to when cron starts executing say, cron.hourly? i.e. Would I be correct in saying that it always waits an initial hour before cron.hourly gets executed? I also have anacron installed, and that seems to have a delay of a few minutes when executing overdue scripts, but I'd like to confirm that there is at least a few minutes delay?
[07:26] <lsdmt> david_,  thanks alot man
[07:26] <roryy> ladydoor: maybe   alias ls='LANG=C.utf8 ls'
[07:27] <Os390> hi, i execute any command in mysql and obtain this error -> ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
[07:27] <eneried> i said it before, but, ok again: i added a edgy DVD, it appears on repositories list, ok? i after that added an edubunty edgy DVD, but i can't see it on the repositories list, i opened sources.list but the file is not there
[07:27] <merc> when ubuntu loads gdm, i first get that ugly brown solid color, then it changes to my gdm login image...  is there a way to make the ugly brown solid color, black, so it is less noticeable?
[07:27] <digiqq> hey guys, I was trying to install the latest version of GAIM, how come the protocol list is EMPTY???
[07:27] <david_> lsdmt: fyi, rm is the remove command, -r tells it to be recursive (delete subfiles/folders) and -f tells it to force (not prompt for confirmation)
[07:27] <ladydoor> roryy: hmmm, i'll try that. i'd probably alias it as lc or something so that it wouldn't have to be all the time.
[07:27] <Wolf-h26> guys,how do I install flash 9?I can't view this website http://sonic.sega.jp/sonic/
[07:28] <psycode> Crayden, are you sure no software reset is needed? like in windows i would do "renew ip"
[07:28] <eneried> Wolf-h26 i know there's a flash 9 beta for ubuntu, you add the repository or download the .deb file
[07:28] <digiqq> Wolf-h26: just go to www.adobe.com, and you will see the install button
[07:28] <roryy> ladydoor: it kind of bugs me too; I'm used to seeing INSTALL and Makefile and all those first in the listing
[07:28] <KerLeone> Hi, I am totally new in linux and dont get my ubuntu installed. I start from cd, choose "start and install" and then it starts, but after someminutes I get a blue screen saying "Failed to start x-server" and the log file says "no screens found".
[07:28] <jason0_> Anyone know why I would get "invalid driver!" from ndiswrapper? The driver previously worked with no problems.
[07:28] <digiqq> hey guys, I was trying to install the latest version of GAIM, how come the protocol list is EMPTY???
[07:29] <ladydoor> roryy: yeah...and Emac's dired is kind of a pain in my home dir ATM, but that's ok
[07:29] <Crayden> psycode: Changing the routing table, editing the resolv.conf for DNS and changing the IP address of the network card - none of these need a restart/reset
[07:29] <eneried> ah, ok, bye, nobody can or want to help me here
[07:29] <ladydoor> *Emacs's
[07:29] <kmaynard> eneried, you get flash 9 from adobe directly
[07:29] <wts> eneried, it is available on the adobe website
[07:30] <adieu> how does this chatroom work i have  a problem and nobody cares
[07:30] <Crayden> psycode: If you're having problems, maybe there's another route setting that's conflicting with the one you just set.  If you want to change your IP you just have to do 'ifconfig eth0 up <IP_ADDRESS>' to get that ip, and that's it
[07:30] <roryy> ladydoor: i'm sure you know about Dired-Omit mode, but if not it's worth looking at
[07:30] <wts> eneried, just follow the directions in the file that you download, really easy
[07:30] <digiqq> hey guys, I was trying to install the latest version of GAIM, how come the protocol list is EMPTY???
[07:30] <wts> adieu, what is your issue?
[07:30] <ladydoor> roryy: i'll check it out
[07:31] <olifozzy> hi
[07:31] <kmaynard> adieu, if you dont get an answer, it's possible no one who's paying attention at the moment  knows. whining and berating won't help
[07:31] <jachyra> how can I setup Ubuntu to load a module on startup?
[07:31] <Wolf-h26> how do I install flash?
[07:31] <wts> digiqq, saying the same thing over and over might cause someone that might help you to ignore you
[07:31] <kmaynard> digiqq, install the package or from source?
[07:31] <wts> !flashbeta
[07:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about flashbeta - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:31] <psycode> Crayden, no it's not that, it seems like a dns issue since directly targeting google's ip answers to ping

[07:32] <lsdmt> david_, another quick question man, i'm trying to install ATI driver fo xpress 200 series and am following 32 bit instructions to load on amd64 so i have to edit the commands a bit. Do i need to edit "sudo dpkg -i xorg-driver-fglrx_8.26.18-1_i386.deb" to "sudo dpkg -i xorg-driver-fglrx_8.26.18-1_i386_64.deb " ?
[07:32] <digiqq> wts: sorry
[07:32] <kmaynard> digiqq, if it's not an official ubuntu build, then you may want to ask the gaim people
[07:32] <Wolf-h26> I give up,lol
[07:32] <kmaynard> it might be a known bug
[07:32] <fryfrog> can anyone tell me why ubuntu is running dd?  root      4285 89.0  0.0   1724   512 ?        Rs   14:24   9:18 /bin/dd bs 1 if /proc/kmsg of /var/run/klogd/kmsg
[07:32] <kmaynard> Wolf-h26, dude...it's not hard
[07:33] <Wolf-h26> I got the installer
[07:33] <Crayden> psycode: but pinging google.com instead of the ip doesn't work...  Does 'cat /etc/resolv.conf' spit out the right DNS servers?
[07:33] <shwag> does cron run jobs as root ?
[07:33] <Wolf-h26> but don't know that to do
[07:33] <digiqq> kmaynard: okie, I think I better go to gaim forum for help. thx anyway mate~
[07:33] <psycode> Crayden, yes and yes... i know it's odd :P
[07:33] <Crayden> psycode: there should be single lines, each reading "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>'
[07:33] <fryfrog> shwag: i'm sure it can?
[07:33] <Crayden> hmh :/
[07:33] <psycode> Crayden, yup
[07:33] <olifozzy> does someone know about a security flaw in the vnc module for x server ?
[07:33] <digiqq> Wolf-h26: just go to www.adobe.com and install the plugin
[07:33] <Crayden> psycode: And you get a ping reply from the DNS servers?
[07:34] <david_> lsdmt: I have not installed fglrx on a 64 bit system, so I might be wrong, but I believe that drivers are only for 32 bit systems.  If you have the .deb that supports 64 bit (that is, it will end with i386_64 rather than i386_32), then you should be able to use dpkg -i [file]  to install it.  If it doesn't work, you can always remove it (thank god)
[07:34] <kmaynard> Wolf-h26, just copy libflash.so (whatever it's called) into the firefox plugins directory...it's in /usr/ somewhere, do some googling

[07:34] <bipolar> Does anyone know where I can find an *up to date* howto on getting aiglx/beryl working on edgy with the latest nvidia drivers? Everything google returns was written before the nvidia drivers supported AIGLX.

[07:40] <LjL> bunnythebunny, no. it's your router's settings to blame
[07:40] <wts> matju, there is a beta version of flash9 a quick search on google for flash beta 9 linux will get you to the page
[07:40] <Crayden> andersg:  Not necessarily.  I'm not very familiar with the codecs part, but the page that user guy just linked you to (if you missed it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats) can probably help you there
[07:40] <LjL> bunnythebunny, Ubuntu doesn't come with any ports firewalled by default.
[07:40] <zoetrope666> wts: should i follow the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam even though its a generic one?
[07:41] <jmx> yo.
[07:41] <LjL> bunnythebunny, you might have to open the port for UDP as well as TCP perhaps, though i'm not familiar with bittorrent
[07:41] <wts> zoetrope666, do you know how to use the terminal?
[07:41] <zoetrope666> wts: to a degree, yes
[07:41] <bunnythebunny> LjL, Well, all p2p programs i've got work fine in XP after i forward the ports.
[07:41] <wts> I just sent you a PM
[07:41] <bunnythebunny> So, this is odd.
[07:41] <jmx> damn nolioth
[07:42] <bunnythebunny> LjL, i did open for both TCP and UDP
[07:42] <Wolf-h26> how do I put my javascript on?
[07:42] <kmaynard> ...
[07:42] <jmx> Java or flash player haha.
[07:42] <kmaynard> Wolf-h26, js should be on by default in firefox
[07:42] <dxdemetriou> can I set my ubuntu to greek and to have all names in english? I don't wan't to translate the programs, but only to support greek
[07:42] <LjL> bunnythebunny: perhaps try another program. isn't utorrent a windows program anyway?
[07:43] <Wolf-h26> ok
[07:43] <wts> wolf-h26, don't confuse java with javascript
[07:43] <wts> :-)
[07:43] <LjL> dxdemetriou: you can set up a greek keyboard. what else?
[07:43] <bunnythebunny> LjL: Yeah i'm wining it...i've been told it works fine in Ubuntu..
[07:43] <cryptonic> can someone help me get beryl working on ubuntu
[07:43] <sargeantd> Anyone successful with FakeRaid (SATA RAID 0) on Edgy?  I have tried to follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto  but LiveCD still sees 2 volumes instead 1.
[07:43] <ZeBigBoZ> wohoo, after about 4 days of blood, sweat, tears, several cd's, an hgh number of reboots and a lot of bad word about windows, ubuntu, and anything in the local area, i finally got ubunutu to work :D
[07:43] <LjL> bunnythebunny: *shrug* maybe
[07:43] <[erisco] > kmaynard, still not found *hmm*
[07:43] <jmx> I hat this computer
[07:43] <LjL> Ubotu, please tell cryptonic about beryl
[07:43] <jmx> HATE**
[07:44] <wts> zoetrope666, I sent you a PM, please respond in there
[07:44] <bunnythebunny> LjL: Read it in the forums n all. :(
[07:44] <lsdmt> how do i recompile a kernel module?
[07:44] <matju> LjL, wts: thanks
[07:44] <jmx> I think I need x86 architexture cause for some reason I cant get a flash player..and I need one
[07:44] <bunnythebunny> LjL: By the way, would you know anything about Rhythmbox making ocasional little crack sounds?
[07:44] <dxdemetriou> LjL, I mean for programs. I have set the keyboard, but some programs don't show the greek names but ???
[07:45] <rag> do you know if is possible load a network module from ctrl+alt+f2 from alternate cd?
[07:45] <LjL> bunnythebunny: no, i use KDE
[07:45] <rag> hello *
[07:45] <jmx> rag..lol
[07:45] <wts> jmx, I believe that flash is only available in 32bit
[07:45] <rag> from install alternate cd
[07:45] <bunnythebunny> :(
[07:45] <zoetrope666> bunnythebunny: i have that same problem
[07:45] <LjL> dxdemetriou: i don't know - you mean filenames? maybe it's old programs that have no clue about UTF-8, like GTK1.2 programs?
[07:45] <rag> jmx: please do you know, i have a realtek 8136
[07:46] <jmx> I have 64........how do I get flash to work on websites??..AM I screwed
[07:46] <dxdemetriou> LjL, yes.  It started to happen after i configured my system surround to work.
[07:46] <zoetrope666> bunnythebunny: no idea how to fix it, sorry. tell me if you do!
[07:46] <jmx> I dont now what realtek is lol
[07:46] <LjL> dxdemetriou, i'm not sure that's achievable
[07:46] <dxdemetriou> LjL, when I start with Greek is ok
[07:46] <finsta> Realtek makes chipsets for LAN and Audio
[07:46] <wts> jmx, you would have to use the 32bit version of your browser
[07:47] <jmx> Does that solve my flash problem?
[07:47] <zoetrope666> bunnythebunny - mine just did it naturally. im running ubuntu 6.06 on my laptop, and i have lots of modem and sound inconsistencies. :(
[07:47] <ajax4> Anyone on here use Azureus? I'm wondering why as soon as I start it up I get people trying to connect to me before I even select a torrent. Anyone know?
[07:47] <zoetrope666> bunnythebunny - getting there though.. slowly
[07:47] <wts> jmx, really it is almost better to run the 32bit version of Ubuntu for most people even if you have 64bit arch
[07:47] <andersg> Crayden:Ah, nice page, thanks
[07:47] <zoetrope666> wts: i am in a PM with you but you are not responding?
[07:47] <kmaynard> [erisco] , dude. it's in the directory where you were when you ran wget.
[07:47] <sargeantd> Anyone successful with FakeRaid (SATA RAID 0) on Edgy?  I have tried to follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto  but LiveCD still sees 2 volumes instead 1.
[07:47] <LjL> dxdemetriou: try typing "locale" in a shell. you could probably try playing with those variables (and then starting those non-working programs from the same shell)
[07:48] <bunnythebunny> zoetrope666: I got ubuntu 6.10...and god damn...its making my blood boil.....i like that in a way.
[07:48] <[erisco] > kmaynard, oh god just a second
[07:48] <zoetrope666> bunnythebunny - haha
[07:48] <jmx> OK .........thats kinda of stupid sounding.......I only know half of what your saying I just go this comp and I have to learn all this linux crap....
[07:48] <jachyra> hi all, does a compiled module have to be in a specified location to be loaded by '/etc/module' ?
[07:48] <[erisco] > kmaynard, I was running it in a directory that I deleted in the middle of it
[07:48] <bunnythebunny> zoetrope666: Oh yeah, modem inconsistencies..tell me about it..i first installed the amd64 version...jesus christ.
[07:48] <jmx> is 64bit not better
[07:48] <[erisco] > kmaynard, *frig* :P now what? download again? -.-
[07:49] <wts> jmx, only in very limited situations
[07:49] <bunnythebunny> Its suposseeed to be!
[07:49] <kmaynard> [erisco] , what do you think
[07:49] <bunnythebunny> From what i was told.
[07:49] <Joe_SWAU> exit
[07:49] <jmx> I have been trying everything with people from the help calssroom and nobody can get my flash working...
[07:49] <[erisco] > kmaynard, the magical ubuntu distro fairy is going to recover my download :D
[07:49] <bunnythebunny> jmx
[07:49] <jmx> yes.
[07:50] <zoetrope666> bunnythebunny: my connection just seems weaker on ubuntu for some reason. on windows i used to stay connected for hours. on this its really temperamental and i get d/c all the time, sometimes just within a few minutes, and often when im doing a lot of things at once. its a bit weird/expensive. its getting better though i think. hmm! strange!!
[07:50] <bunnythebunny> What system do  you have?
[07:50] <zoetrope666> bunnythebunny - ubuntu's general awesomeness makes up for it though. lol :P
[07:50] <jmx> ubuntu...dapper
[07:50] <Belfagor> buona sera
[07:50] <kmaynard> [erisco] , start the download and walk away for a few. go get some coffee. walk the dog. watch a soap. just stay away from anything that puts the letters 'r' and 'm' next to each other
[07:50] <wts> zoetrope666, I have sent you another PM
[07:50] <bunnythebunny> zoetrope666: Yeah, i kinda like it...since i started using ubuntu..i've been having...dreams. hah.
[07:50] <LinuxHelp> jachyra, I'm afaid I dont understand why a .ko (module) file would be on its own somewhere
[07:50] <jmx> I think anyway... I upgraded everything
[07:50] <sampo_v2> is there any automated tool to configure dualhead in edgy?
[07:50] <zoetrope666> wts: im not getting any PMs from you? i have no idea why
[07:51] <lsdmt> jachyra, could you possibly tell me how one would go about compiling a module?
[07:51] <zoetrope666> bunnythebunny: dreams??
[07:51] <bunnythebunny> jmx, im using edgy...i installed flash 9 beta through a howto..let me see if i can find that
[07:51] <jachyra> LinuxHelp: oh it's because i compiled it from a site, i put it in my own directory
[07:51] <sampo_v2> i hearin FC you can just go system->preferences->display and "enable" it
[07:51] <[erisco] > kmaynard, hehe
[07:51] <jmx> yes thatwoudl be great.
[07:51] <jachyra> lsdmt: hang on I'll give you a link to the site
[07:52] <bunnythebunny> zoetrpe666: yeah. i had a vivid one just yesterday. i havent had one like that in ages.
[07:52] <jachyra> lsdmt: here, can you plz have a look at this http://www.makingthings.com/makecontrollerkit/guides/linux_getting_started.html
[07:52] <zoetrope666> bunnythebunny: rofl. do you have kopete or gaim??
[07:52] <LinuxHelp> I have one ko on my system, and its here: /lib/modules/<IP_ADDRESS>/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko
[07:53] <bunnythebunny> zoetrpe666: I guess it must be cause of all the obstacles i've got to go through. Its like a rollercoaster. I go down...hit the bottom...hit often..and then weee i go up.
[07:53] <jachyra> LinuxHelp: do you sugges i move the ko to /lib/modules/,../driver/ ?
[07:53] <bunnythebunny> Gaim
[07:53] <Belboz99> hey all, is there a 64bit room?
[07:53] <LinuxHelp> jachyra, yup
[07:53] <zoetrope666> wts: still have no PM from you?
[07:53] <Williamts99> bunnythebunny, are you running 64 bit ubuntu?
[07:53] <LinuxHelp> jachyra, well the path I specified above
[07:53] <bunnythebunny> jmx: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=279990&highlight=flash+9+beta

[07:54] <jachyra> LinuxHelp: alright thanks a bunch!!!

[07:54] <bunnythebunny> jmx: :)
[07:54] <Belboz99> seems I can aquire an IP from my router, but I can't ping my router or anything beyond it.  However, I can ping the other box on this switch just fine
[07:54] <jachyra> LinuxHelp:  just about to test actually
[07:54] <zoetrope666> bunnythebunny<EMAIL_ADDRESS>if you want to add me - and ill send you a solution to the sound problem if i find one

[07:55] <bur[n] er_> has anyone installed vmware server in edgy?
[07:55] <poulap> hmmm. no luck with alsamixer for my sound on toshiba sat p100
[07:55] <bunnythebunny> Williamts99: I know! flash has a problem for 64 bits hasnt it?
[07:55] <Williamts99> yes it does
[07:56] <bunnythebunny> zoetrope666: will do, if i find it first, ill tell you
[07:56] <Deathi> h
[07:56] <jmx> I cant install flash cause I have wrong architexture damn
[07:57] <Williamts99> jmx, there are workarounds but the best would be to use the 32bit version of Ubuntu
[07:57] <bunnythebunny> jmx: just get i386.
[07:57] <zoetrope666> bunnythebunny - cool, thanks!
[07:57] <Deathi> anyoe here who can help me?  i have a problem  installing an  build environment
[07:57] <Akuma_> is there some user friendly, samba wrapping tool for setting up filesharing? the samba documentation is the most cryptic one i've seen. some kind of wizzard would actually be nice
[07:58] <jmx> ok this flash says i386
[07:58] <jmx> i386.deb
[07:58] <LinuxHelp> Akuma_, SWAT
[07:58] <zoetrope666> has anyone used the amor cat thingo?? i turned the cat purple and 3D in gimp :D so proud. hehe
[07:58] <Akuma_> LinuxHelp: seems like a good idea, but i can't get it to work. the docs are the same..
[07:58] <Williamts99> jmx, no the 32 bit version of Ubuntu
[07:59] <LinuxHelp>  Akuma_, setting up samba is easy as pie
[07:59] <Williamts99> instead of the 64bit version, that deb won't work on your system if you are using the 64bit version of Ubuntu
[07:59] <jmx> OK I as you kow from yester and not good with linux. is 32 bit not ..well not asgood as 64
[07:59] <LinuxHelp> LinuxHelp, Akuma_ what cant you get right?
[07:59] <Akuma_> LinuxHelp: that's good news. but guessing how to do it isn't ... do you know of a simple tutorial then?

[08:01] <abarbaccia> _3fg, at login, not at bootup
[08:01] <abarbaccia> gnome
[08:02] <zoetrope666> .
[08:02] <EmxBA> hi
[08:02] <david__> Hi
[08:02] <elvirolo> can anyone help me ?
[08:02] <EmxBA> alsa unexpectedly gives me lots of noise, any solutions?
[08:02] <zoetrope666> hi :)

[08:02] <EmxBA> ubotu, please tell Akuma_ about samba
[08:03] <_3fg> abarbaccia: ah
[08:03] <Akuma_> EmxBA: i know about samba, thanks. want i want to know is how to make it work
[08:03] <LinuxHelp> Akuma_, they both need to read each others files?
[08:03] <jake_-> anyone know how to fix fatal error when doing modprobe acer_acpi ?
[08:03] <Akuma_> LinuxHelp: read write would be nice, yeah
[08:03] <david__> I'm got a problem with the screen resolution, it won't go above 800x600

[08:03] <EmxBA> david__: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:04] <LinuxHelp> Akuma_, the samba server will let your windows xp machine read your /home/Akuma_/ dir.
[08:04] <LinuxHelp> Akuma_, and for reading your windows xp machine from your ubuntu one, I'd say just use the gnome built in stuff
[08:04] <Akuma_> LinuxHelp: well thats a start
[08:04] <EmxBA> can someone help me with sound/alsa? card is hda nvidia and chipset is realtek alc880
[08:04] <david__> I've got various entries in xconf but only get 2 options
[08:05] <Williamts99> jmx, sent you a PM
[08:05] <EmxBA> do you have something like Modeline in Screen section? david__?

[08:07] <_3fg> I need to reinstall from  the live CD. Should I use 6.06 or 6.10?
[08:07] <_3fg> Are there any problems with 6.10?
[08:08] <EmxBA> _3fg: to reinstall what?
[08:08] <_3fg> the whole OS
[08:08] <LinuxHelp> Akuma_, look at the [homes]  section
[08:08] <EmxBA> ah
[08:08] <Durtro> tell me
[08:08] <EmxBA> _3fg: and you're using 6.06 now?
[08:08] <_3fg> yes
[08:08] <Ignite_> _3fg: why do you need to reinstall the whole OS? O.o
[08:08] <EmxBA> i would do a fresh edgy install
[08:08] <deema_> anybody here use Prism54 islsm?
[08:08] <LinuxHelp> Akuma, it would seem that you *should* be able to log in from your windows pc right now
[08:08] <Akuma_> LinuxHelp: yeah ...
[08:08] <EmxBA> !repeat > deema_
[08:08] <_3fg> Ignite_: it's just hanging at the brown screen after login
[08:09] <EmxBA> you don't need to reinstall
[08:09] <Senesence> Does anyone know anything about solving USB flash drive oriented problems? I need help on the matter.
[08:09] <_3fg> the mouse moves, it even goes into screensaver after a few minutes
[08:09] <EmxBA> br
[08:09] <Ignite_> I agree with EmxBA.
[08:09] <EmxBA> _3fg: you don't get wallpaper or?
[08:09] <_3fg> no wallpaper
[08:09] <_3fg> just the splash screen
[08:09] <EmxBA> no icons?
[08:09] <_3fg> nope
[08:09] <_3fg> right click does nothing, no toolbar
[08:10] <EmxBA> what have you done recently? :)
[08:10] <_3fg> not used linux for 2 months ;)
[08:10] <LinuxHelp> Akuma_, just open my computer and type \\server\username
[08:10] <DJAdmiral> Hey - issue about preferred applications here - how do I set Quark Music Player as my default music player?
[08:10] <_3fg> actually, I always hit ctrl-c to skip "Configure network devices"
[08:10] <EmxBA> damn it, this alsa noise gets really irritating
[08:10] <LinuxHelp> Akuma_, also remember you may have to enter the ip address manually
[08:10] <carlo> I have a 5.1 surround card and I cant get audio playback from the subwoofer! help please!
[08:10] <DJAdmiral> Akuma_: Have we met before? Nicole?
[08:10] <Akuma_> DJAdmiral: nop
[08:11] <abarbaccia> _3fg, closer - but doesn't solve my original problem - i have many people logging in and out and I need it done at every login and logout and don't want to set it up manually to do that for each user
[08:11] <DJAdmiral> Akuma_: *sigh* Thanks anyway.
[08:11] <_3fg> but now I have a an ethernet cable plugged in and I previously just had a PCI card
[08:11] <LinuxHelp> Akuma_: e.g. \\<IP_ADDRESS>\linuxhelp
[08:11] <ragnar_123> how do I see the cpu frequency from ubuntu (dapper)?
[08:11] <EmxBA> ragnar_123: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[08:11] <js_> does edgy support for ich8?
[08:11] <_3fg> abarbaccia: hm, I'm lost then
[08:11] <ragnar_123> thanks
[08:11] <DJAdmiral> How do I set up Quark as my default music player, or for that matter, how do I set any music player as the default?
[08:11] <abarbaccia> _3fg, as am i lol
[08:11] <_3fg> EmxBA, Ignite_, any ideas?
[08:12] <Senesence> Is there any support people around?
[08:12] <EmxBA> _3fg: reinstall os if you really need to
[08:12] <DJAdmiral> Senesence: We're all here to help :)
[08:12] <EmxBA> Senesence: yes, what's the problem? ;-)
[08:12] <_3fg> ok
[08:12] <Senesence> USB flash drive won't detect changes (when I copy files to it)
[08:12] <_3fg> and I saw that Edgy was recommended
[08:12] <_3fg> thanks all
[08:13] <jmx> OK where can I get i286?
[08:13] <DJAdmiral> !quark
[08:13] <EmxBA> Senesence: how do you mean won't detect changes? after you copied the files, do a right click on usb icon on desktop and do "remove" or something similar, dunno now
[08:13] <ubotu> quark: music player daemon controlled from the gnome panel or cli. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.21-3.1build1 (edgy), package size 40 kB, installed size 192 kB
[08:13] <LinuxHelp> jmx, iThink thats deprecated
[08:13] <_3fg> now for the big question: Shoud I do xubuntu, kubuntu, or just stick with Gnome
[08:13] <EmxBA> but it really reminds me to windows xp, Senesence :)
[08:13] <CarlFK> if someone needs a 64 bit version of libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 - can they just apt-get source and dpkg-buildpackage it to make a 64 bit deb?
[08:14] <EmxBA> _3fg: depends on what you like
[08:14] <Senesence> EmxBA: All the files that Ubuntu registers as on the flash drive, are no longer there when I unmount it and mount it again.
[08:14] <EmxBA> gnome is nice for most of us
[08:14] <deema_> how do I enable modules?
[08:14] <DJAdmiral> _3fg: It's just a matter of preference. You can have KDE and Gnome working on Ubuntu at the same time.
[08:14] <LinuxHelp> _3fg, I vote for gnome
[08:15] <EmxBA> Senesence: they must be there if you unmount it correctly
[08:15] <Ignite_> I wiped GNOME off here the other day to install KDE... now I want GNOME back... GTK development is so much nicer than QT...
[08:15] <_3fg> Gnome it is ;)
[08:15] <jmx> ?
[08:15] <jmx> I mean i386
[08:15] <DJAdmiral> _3fg: Hint - Ubuntu is gnome, but Kubuntu is KDE. It's not Gubuntu for Gnome, so it kinda proves that Gnome > KDE lol
[08:15] <suga_bear_> f
[08:15] <Senesence> EmxBA: Is there any way to configure ubuntu to make all the changes instantly, instead of doing it on unmount?
[08:15] <thingy> Senesence: sync
[08:15] <PupenoRG> In Evolution, how do I apply a filter to mails that I have already downloaded ?
[08:16] <DJAdmiral> Ignite_: Reinstall ubuntu-desktop?
[08:16] <Senesence> thingy: ? please clarify.
[08:16] <suga_bear_> does anyone know if dapper has the kernel that will allow it to become an access point?
[08:16] <thingy> Senesence: er wait I assume you mean't you want to commit all hard disk writes to disk?
[08:16] <DJAdmiral> Ignite_: And you can have Gnome and KDE running side by side on ubuntu.
[08:16] <jmx> whats the diff between 32 bit ubuntu and 64 bit ubuntu
[08:16] <EmxBA> Senesence: well, when you copy those files (and the usb is still plugged) check that they are on the usb stick, and then clearly unmnount it
[08:16] <Akuma_> LinuxHelp: with \\<IP_ADDRESS>\martin  it asks for a username/password .. but it wont be let in
[08:16] <EmxBA> but it should work without the nice unmounting (i've tried it  :) )
[08:16] <Ignite_> DJAdmiral: I was just making a comment in relation to my view on KDE for _3fg, I don't need advice, thanks anyway though, and I know, I've been using GNU+Linux since I was 11. :-P
[08:17] <DJAdmiral> jmx: 32 bit ubuntu is meant for normal PCs, but 64 bit is meant for 64bit processors.
[08:17] <LinuxHelp> Akuma_, you entered "marting" for your username, and your correct password right?
[08:17] <LinuxHelp> *-g
[08:17] <jmx> OK whick would you say is better?
[08:17] <DJAdmiral> Ignite_: So have I :P
[08:17] <Ignite_> :-D
[08:17] <DJAdmiral> Ignite_: How old are you?
[08:17] <Senesence> EmxBA: Looking at the contents of the usb drive through nautilus GUI, the files are all there. But when I take the drive out and plug it back in it's like nothing was ever created or copied. Get it?
[08:17] <Ignite_> DJAdmiral: 16.
[08:18] <thingy> Senesence: ok I just read the above messages...you are loosing files when copying files to a flash drive....to solve this...after copying the files...in a console type in "sync" a couple of times and it will commit the stuff in buffers onto the medium
[08:18] <Akuma_> LinuxHelp: the username-passwd i use to log on to ubuntu, yes. it rewrites the username to COMPNAME/username
[08:18] <deema_> how do I enable modules?
[08:18] <DJAdmiral> Ignite_: 5 years, impressive. I just turned 17 yesterday. Been using Linux for 2 years now, and I've made my own linux distro, so I'm happy :D
[08:18] <LinuxHelp> Akuma_, um.... try the "smbpasswd" program on your linux machine
[08:18] <Ignite_> :-D
[08:18] <Senesence> thingy: Is there any way to configure ubuntu to do that automatically?
[08:18] <Ignite_> DJAdmiral: what's your distro called?
[08:18] <LinuxHelp> Akuma_, run it as "martin"
[08:18] <DJAdmiral> Ignite_: It's called Aamix.
[08:19] <jmx> What would you say is better...32 or 64 bit?
[08:19] <Ignite_> DJAdmiral: and happy birthday for yesterday. :-)
[08:19] <Williamts99> jmx, I sent you a PM
[08:19] <DJAdmiral> Ignite_: I haven't posted it on the net :P
[08:19] <jmx> yes williamts
[08:19] <jmx> your not talking though
[08:19] <Ignite_> DJAdmiral: oh I see. :P
[08:19] <thingy> Senesence: My understanding was that if you right click the flash device's icon on the desktop and choose to eject it...it will automatically sync before unmounting. Is this not happening?
[08:19] <LinuxHelp> I think there are far too many linux distros
[08:19] <DJAdmiral> LinuxHelp: Can you help it if it's open source?
[08:19] <Akuma_> LinuxHelp: $ Old SMB password
[08:20] <DJAdmiral> LinuxHelp: Different people have different needs and wants
[08:20] <Senesence> thingy: My understanding was that taking the flashdrive out would do an automatic unmount.
[08:20] <DJAdmiral> LinuxHelp: Many open source projects branch out a lot. Linux is the biggest example.
[08:20] <LinuxHelp> Akuma_, er try "sudo smbpasswd martin" ?
[08:20] <LinuxHelp> Akuma_, be creative
[08:20] <DJAdmiral> Senesence: Not a good idea to just yank out the USB stick
[08:21] <LinuxHelp> DJAdmiral, BIG waste of resources
[08:21] <CarlFK> what is and apt/sources.list line for debian experimental?
[08:21] <Ignite_> Linux doesn't branch out a lot, for that to be true there would be more than one kernel based on linux, or lots for that matter, yes there are a lot of modded ones, but none who try to become kernels on their own, not that I know of. :-)
[08:21] <thingy> Senesence: NO!! Do not physically unplug any flash usb devices. You have to eject it! This is the same in Windows!
[08:21] <Senesence> DJAdmiral: Well I do wait for the folders to show up on the drive when I copy them from the home dir.
[08:21] <Comrade_S> Senesence:  just umount the drive name
[08:21] <DJAdmiral> Senesence: STILL not a good idea. Background processes, things working in the background, etc.
[08:22] <Senesence> thingy: I want ubuntu to write things right at the time I make the copy command. Is there a way to do that?
[08:22] <LinuxHelp> Senesence, and then wait five seconds
[08:22] <DJAdmiral> LinuxHelp: This branching out?
[08:22] <LinuxHelp> DJAdmiral, !this ?
[08:22] <Ignite_> Senesence: right click the drive and choose eject, that will finish writing data to the drive so you can remove it. :)
[08:22] <Comrade_S> Senesence:  or basically, right click on the usb drive icon on desktop and click on eject
[08:22] <CarlFK> Senesence: yes.  but i forget how :)
[08:22] <Senesence> Guys, in windows this works without having to do any of this
[08:22] <DJAdmiral> LinuxHelp: Linux wouldn't be so popular if there wouldn't be so many distros.
[08:22] <thingy> Senesence: Think about this...the device you are copying too is slow to write data to its medium...and so that data is bufferred in memory. This is why copying will seem fast to you but in reality writing the buffered data takes time and happens slowly.
[08:22] <DJAdmiral> Senesence: Linux is not windoze.
[08:22] <Akuma_> LinuxHelp: awesome. this worked. i'll read up on smbpasswd though, i'm not too sure what happened. thank's a lot eh, i apreciate
[08:22] <Seyen> Hey guys. Can comeone point a complete newb how to change the resolution to something not listed in the System->Preferences->Screen Resolution?
[08:22] <CarlFK> Senesence: not really.  unless by "works" you mean "screw up your data"
[08:23] <Ignite_> Senesence: you can change that in Ubuntu, I'm not sure how in GNOME though, sorry. :)
[08:23] <LinuxHelp> DJAdmiral, nope wrong way round, there are so many distros because linux is so popular
[08:23] <Akuma_> LinuxHelp: btw, whats the name of the gnome builtin app for reading the windows shares?
[08:23] <Senesence> thingy: It takes like 5 minutes. In windows it was instant. I'm talking low memory files here .txt, nothing big to require that much time
[08:23] <Comrade_S> Akuma_:  samba
[08:23] <Comrade_S> ?
[08:23] <CarlFK> Senesence: in win, it tries to make it easy, but ends up letting people trash things instead of making dam sure all is good.
[08:23] <DJAdmiral> LinuxHelp: I would disagree. How did it get so popular in the first place?
[08:23] <LinuxHelp>  Akuma_ do a synaptic search for samba gnome
[08:23] <LinuxHelp> DJAdmiral, slackware?
[08:24] <malefico> hi, I'm trying to install Edgy on compaq presario laptop and run into this same problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1614142&postcount=5 , anybody here knows how to fix it ?
[08:24] <Senesence> CarlFK: In windows when you copy files, and they show up in the USB window they are there
[08:24] <DJAdmiral> LinuxHelp: There were other distros then.
[08:24] <CarlFK> Senesence: it is why the mac doesn't have an eject button on the floppy drive
[08:24] <CarlFK> Senesence: "basicaly" yes, really no.
[08:24] <DJAdmiral> LinuxHelp: And as it is people are giving their own resources towards their own distros. It's not really a 'waste' as you would call it.
[08:24] <LinuxHelp> Akuma_ its like a vfs module for something like that
[08:25] <DJAdmiral> LinuxHelp: Different distros address different needs, wants, and styles. Therefore it is so popular.
[08:25] <CarlFK> Senesence: in w2kl you had to "eject" or whatever and it would thow a dialog if you didn't.  XP improved it, but you can still trash it.
[08:25] <Senesence> CarlFK: Well, I really had my files on the usb drive when I put them there with windows.  I think I should be appointed LinuxManager and be allowed to veto bad distributions or something
[08:26] <DJAdmiral> Ignite_: So how long have you been with Ubuntu?
[08:26] <Akuma_> LinuxHelp: hmm, there's ubuntu-system-tools .. includes network config and nfs samba shares tools. i'll give it a try i guess
[08:26] <Seyen> Hey guys. Can comeone point a complete newb how to change the resolution to something not listed in the System->Preferences->Screen Resolution? I sure as heck know my card and monitor support them. everything is blurry on LCD with non-native resolution :\
[08:26] <LinuxHelp> Akuma_, that doesnt sound right
[08:26] <LinuxHelp> Akuma_ it'll be gnome- something
[08:27] <DJAdmiral> LinuxHelp: Then it would be more of a bureaucratic dictation rather than an open source community. You'd piss a lot of people off.
[08:27] <kmarius> how do i enable sound for _all_ users in ubuntu? my sound card already works for the first user that I created
[08:27] <Senesence> CarlFK: I make concurrent backups so it's ok for me. I just want ubuntu to start writing files to the USB drive as soon as I copy them, thats all
[08:27] <Ignite_> DJAdmiral: about a year, I used to install every distro I could find purely for cureosity, but now I need a stable system I know won't need much work, so I use Ubuntu. (because now I have responsibilities. :-() :P
[08:27] <DJAdmiral> Seyen: Custom resolutions, you want to reconfigure the X Server, but if you're a complete newb...
[08:27] <LinuxHelp> DJAdmiral, well I'd go so far as to say that successful distrobutions are run using corporate style management anyway
[08:27] <CarlFK> Senesence: like I said, there is a way to turn off the buffering.  i just foget how
[08:27] <LinuxHelp> DJAdmiral, so I would be so far off from the current system
[08:28] <LinuxHelp> *wouldnt
[08:28] <thingy> Senesence: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=245962&highlight=usb+flash+sync   Looks like this does what you want!
[08:28] <Ignite_> You cannot define success by the amount of users LinuxHelp.
[08:28] <LinuxHelp>  Ignite_, I define success by the word "apt" :P
[08:28] <Seyen> DJAdmiral: No, not "custom", just not listed in the dialog. Biggest res in the dialog is 1024x768.
[08:28] <roryy> Senesence: unfortunately you'll need to remember to manually unmount the usb stick.  According to 'man mount', synchronous writing to disk (more-or-less what you want) is only supported for some filesystems, not including FAT (the usual usb stick filesystem).
[08:28] <Seyen> DJAdmiral: I need 1280x1024
[08:29] <DJAdmiral> LinuxHelp: You might think that one distro is 'absolutely useless' when in fact somebody else just might find it perfect.
[08:29] <thingy> Senesence: Read the full thread...as there are warnings in their that you should heed.
[08:29] <Flats> Does Ubuntu support any type of Twain driver for document scanning with an HP scanner?
[08:29] <dxdemetriou> LjL, It doesn't work the locale. I made all export in bashrc without luck. the only think I hope to do is to disable the translation of gnome. anyway, thanks
[08:29] <Akuma_> LinuxHelp: gsambad ?
[08:29] <LinuxHelp> DJAdmiral, tell me what is good about fedora core? What niche does it fill?
[08:29] <Jimbo> n00b here..day 5 since I first looked at linux    >I finally figured out how to compile and install that pan beta 0.119 newsreader(supports nzb files). I now have a package installer in the folder. I notice the tar.gz file is only about 1.9 mb, while the folder I extracted it to, and I guess contains the files used to compile is now 114 mb (why so large?). If i want to use the package installer on another machine do I need to keep the whole folder containing 114
[08:29] <Senesence> thingy: Finally, thanks alot, i'll be sure to read through it
[08:29] <LinuxHelp> Akuma_, I'll do a proper search myself now, just wait
[08:29] <DJAdmiral> LinuxHelp: It fills the niche of people who want to give Red Hat a shot but don't want to pay for it.
[08:29] <fryfrog> Does anyone know where moduel options are stored?  I need to set "options" for the lirc_serial module, as well as a "pre-install" line.  In Gentoo, it would be /etc/modules.d/lirc or lirc_serial
[08:30] <DJAdmiral> Seyen: In either case you'll need to reconfigure X.
[08:30] <fryfrog> I thought it was /etc/modutils/lirc or lirc_serial in Ubuntu, but this doesn't seem to change what io/irq lirc_serial is using
[08:30] <Seyen> Uhh.. errr.. command for that?
[08:30] <LinuxHelp> DJAdmiral, well let me put this a different way: what niche does Red Hat fill?
[08:30] <Flats> !twain
[08:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about twain - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:31] <LinuxHelp> Akuma_ libgnomevfs2-extra
[08:31] <DJAdmiral> LinuxHelp: Red Hat serves the corporate server and broad database management niche. Red Hat has 80% of the Linux market share.
[08:31] <fryfrog> LinuxHelp: red hat fills the corporate world that *requires* available paid support and personel
[08:31] <thingy> fryfrog:  module options should go in a file in /etc/modprobe.d
[08:31] <fryfrog> ah, modprobe.d
[08:31] <DJAdmiral> Ignite_: Welcome back to the Jedi :P
[08:31] <HumanPrototype> hi, what is in /var?
[08:31] <thingy> fryfrog: you will need to create your own file for your module in there..
[08:31] <fryfrog> thingy: do i have to do anything to regenerate cache of this?  or is it auto-magic?
[08:31] <fryfrog> in gentoo, i'd need to "modules-update"
[08:31] <LinuxHelp> fryfrog, so theres not much to be said about their distro, just their support?
[08:32] <DJAdmiral> HumanPrototype: The Help pages should be able to help you out with that, but basicallly it's just for logs.
[08:32] <hoehaver> can someone help me.
[08:32] <Jimbo> LinuxHelp: can you clarify this for me....new to linux >I finally figured out how to compile and install that pan beta 0.119 newsreader(supports nzb files).

[08:32] <hoehaver> i have ubuntu 6.06
[08:32] <roryy> HumanPrototype: important things one usually shouldn't fiddle with
[08:32] <hoehaver> my source list is um....fucked
[08:32] <thingy> fryfrog: there is an update-modules command but I think its automagic..and you dont need to run it...try it without and with
[08:32] <HumanPrototype> roryy like /var/www?
[08:32] <hoehaver> can someone give me a link to a good source list?
[08:32] <DJAdmiral> hoehaver: Mind your language.
[08:32] <Ignite_> Lol DJAdmiral
[08:32] <fryfrog> LinuxHelp: yeah, there isn't much to be said about redhat... except that they have an ass ton of market share, they are probably the most popular corporate distro and they make money
[08:32] <HumanPrototype> hoehaver, google for source-o-matic
[08:32] <roryy> !sources | boehaver
[08:32] <ubotu> boehaver: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[08:32] <LinuxHelp> Jimbo, I generally stay away from compilations, except for my kernel that is
[08:32] <DJAdmiral> hoehaver: could you pastebin your sources.list?
[08:32] <hoehaver> i will, thank you
[08:33] <Flats> Does Ubuntu support document scanning?
[08:33] <Flats> or any Linux for that matter
[08:33] <Jimbo> LinuxHelp: this was the only way to get the app i wanted as it was beta
[08:33] <roryy> HumanPrototype: indeed, though normal desktop users wouldn't have that.  Do you have a specific reason for asking?
[08:33] <DJAdmiral> Flats: Yes it does
[08:33] <Akuma_> LinuxHelp: already installed .. i dont suspect there's an easy-for-newby gui, eh
[08:33] <Flats> DJAdmiral: Pre installed?
[08:33] <hoehaver>  DJAdmiral  yes i will
[08:34] <hoehaver> give me a moment
[08:34] <LinuxHelp> Akuma_, click Places, then "Connect to Server"
[08:34] <Ignite_> Yay, now I can issue a few commands on the CLI and spend some time helping people! :-D
[08:34] <HumanPrototype> roryy, im setting up a server and it will server (partly) as a testing server for multiople sites so im mouning /var/www seperatly
[08:34] <Jimbo> do I need to save the whole mess or will the package installer be enuff to install on another linux machine?
[08:34] <fryfrog> thingy: WARNING: /etc/modprobe.d/lirc_serial line 17: ignoring bad line starting with 'pre-install'
[08:34] <fryfrog> er, sorry
[08:34] <link> hi guys, can somebody tell me how to get my HP deskjet printer to work?
[08:34] <LinuxHelp> Akuma_ on your task bar/start menu bar thing
[08:34] <DJAdmiral> Flats: On Ubuntu, yes. I think Xsane image scanner is included.
[08:34] <Flats> sweeeeet
[08:34] <Flats> thank you
[08:34] <HumanPrototype> roryy, and wondered if it was worth mounting /var not just /var/www seperatly
[08:34] <fryfrog> is "pre-install lirc_serial setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none" not valid in a /etc/modprobe.d/lirc_serial file?
[08:34] <DJAdmiral> Anytime!
[08:35] <Jimbo> anyone know the answer to my question?
[08:35] <roryy> HumanPrototype: i am a strictly amateur-grade sysadmin, but on the one server I run, I have /var mounted on a separate volume
[08:35] <Ignite_> Jimbo: what's your question?
[08:35] <thingy> link: What's the deskjet model number?

 its a D1360
[08:35] <bombero> hi
[08:35] <Jimbo> total n00b here.. days since first look at nix
[08:35] <HumanPrototype> roryy, im even more amateur but im not too bothered about most logs so it can go on the same / partition
[08:35] <HumanPrototype> /var/www is seperate thop
[08:36] <Ignite_> Jimbo: you will have to see the softwares manual. :P
[08:36] <roryy> HumanPrototype: *shrug* it's up to you, and it's not all that hard to change later on
[08:36] <thunderstorm> :)
[08:36] <Jimbo> manual..i dont think it has a manual
[08:36] <thunderstorm> it has
[08:36] <thunderstorm> check google ;)
[08:36] <Ignite_> Jimbo: try the website or google.
[08:36] <Ignite_> :D
[08:36] <Seyen> How do I restart x.org?
[08:36] <fryfrog> looks like i need to use the "install" option
[08:37] <dope12345> ok i've tried just about everything to get this wireless working. ndiswrapper and bcm-fwcutter
[08:37] <DJAdmiral> Guys I will have to pop off or something - Ignite_, any idea how to set the default music app in Ubuntu?
[08:37] <thunderstorm> you could reboot of course :D
[08:37] <HumanPrototype> Jimbo if ure interested look up man pages on the net
[08:37] <thunderstorm> that's the easy way to restart x.org :)
[08:37] <Jimbo> Ignite: does a package installer generally contain all the files needed for install or does it generally point to the files needed....
[08:37] <Ignite_> Seyen: hit ctrl+alt+f1, login and run "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" without the quotes.
[08:37] <Jimbo> man pages???
[08:37] <DJAdmiral> Seyen: Ctrl+Backspace
[08:37] <dope12345> i'm using ndiswrapper now and i add the blacklist line for the bcm43xx but now my wireless network adapter doesn't show up in the networking window
[08:37] <Ignite_> Jimbo: do you mean a ubuntu package, or a custom package from the distributor?
[08:37] <LinuxHelp> Is there any way to run Windows XP on Linux, without paying for commercial VM software? (I have a licensed retail copy of Windows XP though)
[08:37] <DJAdmiral> Seyen: Fastest way is Control Backspace.
[08:38] <Ignite_> DJAdmiral: that's also dirty.
[08:38] <DJAdmiral> LinuxHelp: KQEMU
[08:38] <Jimbo> Ignite: hold on Ill get a link to the appz page
[08:38] <Ignite_> Seyen: that's also dirty.
[08:38] <Ignite_> :P
[08:38] <thunderstorm> I like dirty :)
[08:38] <thunderstorm> dirty is good :)
[08:38] <hoehaver> i dont know how to link the pastebin.com thing so it will go directly to what i pasted..
[08:38] <Ignite_> Jimbo: I'm restricted to the CLI atm.
[08:38] <roryy> DJAdmiral: Ctrl-Alt-Backspace
[08:38] <HumanPrototype> Jimbo, they are the manuals for most software on linux - mainly console based tho
[08:38] <DJAdmiral> thunderstorm: lol
[08:38] <thunderstorm> I installed beryl as my window manager
[08:38] <thunderstorm> it makes other ppl wanna install linux too :)

[08:38] <gharz> guys... anybody here's who's using a sony digi cam W-series? ubuntu doesn't detect the memory card...
[08:38] <Ignite_> HumanPrototype: check out yelp, iirc it's a GUI access to man pages.
[08:38] <DJAdmiral> roryy: sorry - it's late and I'm sleepy :P
[08:38] <hoehaver> that may work...im not sure.
[08:39] <dope12345> any suggestings?
[08:39] <Williamts99> hoehaver, you will copy... you got it
[08:39] <LinuxHelp> qemu looks good yeah
[08:40] <hoehaver> it has alot of....off things in it

[08:40] <hoehaver> no. bc i cant update.
[08:40] <hoehaver> i keep getting errors saying like...redundancy something or another...
[08:40] <roryy> hoehaver: the 'official' repos end at line 27
[08:40] <DJAdmiral> LinuxHelp: VMWare Player and VMWare Workstation are free.
[08:41] <hoehaver> and can not lock ...something
[08:41] <Jimbo> Ignite or anyone: heres what i installed. its a simple newsreader with a gui. http://pan.rebelbase.com/download/ I just need to know if after compiling do I need to save anything but the package installer (pan_0.119-1_i386.deb)
[08:41] <hoehaver> o...ok
[08:41] <hoehaver> so everything before line 27 i keep?

[08:41] <DJAdmiral> See ya Ignite!
[08:41] <Jimbo> the original tar.gz file I downloaded was only 1.9 mb and the destination folder is now 114 mb after compiling
[08:42] <hoehaver> yes
[08:42] <DJAdmiral> And LinuxHelp - lighten up a little!
[08:42] <hoehaver> ive tried synaptic
[08:42] <hoehaver> it mest up
[08:42] <DJAdmiral> Ciao everyone!
[08:42] <hoehaver> so i used sudo apt-get update
[08:42] <hoehaver> and upgrade
[08:42] <hoehaver> and it still messes up
[08:42] <Jimbo> The install package  (pan_0.119-1_i386.deb) is only 900+kb
[08:42] <roryy> hoehaver: the 'unable to get lock' message is (probably) unrelated to your sources.list
[08:42] <Akuma_> LinuxHelp: everything seems to work. thank you very much for your help.
[08:43] <LinuxHelp> Akuma_, np
[08:43] <hoehaver> hm
[08:43] <roryy> hoehaver: can you put the output of 'sudo apt-get update' on the pastebin too, if you haven't already?
[08:43] <Jimbo> I just need to know how much of the mess to send to someone else that wants the beta version of this newsreader
[08:43] <LinuxHelp> Akuma_, maybe I'll ask you how to setup my samba server one day ;)
[08:44] <hoehaver> ok just a sec
[08:44] <deema_> how can I check if something is compiled in my kernel?
[08:44] <jmx> whats sort of format would I pic if I were trying o listen to music on dogpile.com?
[08:44] <Akuma_> LinuxHelp: hopefully by then i'll know enough about linux/samba to help you do just that =)
[08:44] <Ignite_> Jimbo: have you checked for a ubuntu package? It would be much cleaner.
[08:44] <Ignite_> Jimbo: what's it called?
[08:45] <Jimbo> Ignite...the ubuntu package doesnt support nzb. I already compiled and installed the beta version of it and it works fine
[08:45] <Seyen> Ok. Hard-restarted.
[08:45] <Seyen> The drivers kinda seem installed.
[08:45] <Jimbo> Ignite: hold on ill get link again
[08:45] <Seyen> But I still don't have the option for higher res than 1024x768
[08:45] <thingy> deema_: What is the "something" ?
[08:45] <HumanPrototype> can automaitx2 install the nvidia drivers and get beryl working on x86 edgy?
[08:46] <Ignite_> Jimbo: just give your friend the link to what you downloaded, and I wouldn't bother with the link I'm stuck in the CLI.
[08:46] <hoehaver> its stuck at 99%....hold on..
[08:46] <roryy> !automatix | HumanPrototype
[08:46] <ubotu> HumanPrototype: automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use.
[08:46] <thingy> deema_: In essence you need to less /boot/config-* and see if the kernel option for the "something" is uncommented.
[08:46] <Jimbo> Ignite: its a pain to compile it and such. I was hoping to save themsome trouble
[08:46] <Jimbo> Ignite: heres that link  http://pan.rebelbase.com/
[08:47] <Ignite_> Jimbo: Oh I see, and that link is of no use to me. :P
[08:47] <hoehaver> http://pastebin.com/826869
[08:47] <hoehaver> there it is
[08:47] <Jimbo> Its only been 5 days since i first looked at linux
[08:47] <HumanPrototype> roryy, ok, sorry ill rephrase my question. does automatix2 claim to be able to install nvidia drivers and beryl and has anybody had success with it
[08:47] <dope1233> i'm using ndiswrapper now and i add the blacklist line for the bcm43xx but now my wireless network adapter doesn't show up in the networking window
[08:47] <dope1233> any suggestings?
[08:47] <Jimbo> I thought it would be a simple question
[08:47] <edoardo> hi everyone! : D
[08:47] <LinuxHelp> Jimbo, you'll start dreaming about penguins soon, dont you worry
[08:47] <donderwolk> Yoric: I like beryl too
[08:48] <hoehaver> im going to go ahead and delete everything in my source list after line 27
[08:48] <HumanPrototype> roryy, or - if u prefer - does ubuntu provide any official docs on gettting it to work?
[08:48] <dope1233> i'm using ndiswrapper now and i add the blacklist line for the bcm43xx but now my wireless network adapter doesn't show up in the networking window
[08:48] <roryy> HumanPrototype: the nvidia driver installation should be fairly easy
[08:48] <roryy> !nvidia | HumanPrototype
[08:48] <ubotu> HumanPrototype: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[08:48] <HumanPrototype> roryy, its the beryl i mind about really
[08:48] <deema_> dope1233
[08:48] <dope1233> howdy
[08:48] <deema_> what's the problem?
[08:48] <roryy> HumanPrototype: as for beryl, best I can do is ubotu again...
[08:48] <roryy> !beryl | HumanPrototype
[08:48] <ubotu> HumanPrototype: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-xgl
[08:49] <deema_> I have the same card
[08:49] <edoardo> you guys, i've got an issue. i'm new to ubuntu. i'm a gentoo user. i wanna know two things. one, why do nfs mounted partition in fstab not get mounted at boot? i start portmap at boot, but not nfs-common. how do i start that? furthermore, why does my computer take more than one minute of pause after the disk checks? help! : D
[08:49] <HumanPrototype> roryy, thanks - ddnt realise #ubuntu-xgl was there
[08:49] <roryy> HumanPrototype: either ask these guys who are bragging about it, or ask in #ubuntu-xgl
[08:49] <Jimbo> so, when you compile an app you get an install package: would this statement be generally correct for most instances?
[08:49] <MinceR> hi
[08:49] <dope1233> i'm using ndiswrapper now and when i add the line "blacklist bcm43xx" to the /etc/network/interfaces file i can't see my wireless network card in the networking window
[08:49] <fooshang> First time using Xchat. Where is my user list? Cant see who is in the channel.
[08:49] <Jimbo> If so does that install package generally contain everything needed to install a app on another computer/
[08:49] <deema_> why blacklist?
[08:49] <dope1233> cause that's what all these howtos say to do
[08:50] <ofek> the suer list is on the right just move it a bit
[08:50] <dope1233> so it doesn't use the default wireless driver
[08:50] <deema_> why not?
[08:50] <Ignite_> Jimbo: no, if you compile something on your machine in the general format it runs a configure script and prepares it for your specific machine.
[08:50] <dope1233> cause it doesn't work
[08:50] <deema_> well
[08:50] <deema_> I have a driver I used yesterday
[08:50] <dope1233> maybe i need a different wireless driver
[08:50] <MinceR> when upgrading a server to edgy by the guide in the wiki, do i need to take the part about needing to have the *-desktop package installed seriously? what breakage can i expect because of not being to use update-manager?
[08:50] <dope1233> it works?
[08:50] <someperson> i have the same problem as dope
[08:50] <deema_> yep, I installed it, and the card worked instantly
[08:50] <dope1233> .inf and .sys fie?
[08:50] <Jimbo> When you compile an app you get an install package: would this statement be generally correct for most instances?   Thanks for helping me find it.
[08:51] <roryy> MinceR: I don't know the answer to the -desktop package, but I can tell you I upgraded using 'aptitude dist-upgrade' successfully
[08:51] <Ignite_> Jimbo: I just answered that question.
[08:51] <dope1233> i don't think the driver i'm using works
[08:51] <hoehaver> roryy did you see where i pasted it?
[08:51] <someperson> where is my mouse!!
[08:51] <Ignite_> It's not magically going to become different if you ask again..
[08:51] <ofek> ^^
[08:51] <Jimbo> Ignite: I must have missed the answer
[08:51] <roryy> hoehaver: oh, sorry, i meant to respond
[08:51] <donderwolk> I only needed to install the gnome-network-manager to get my wireless to work correctly (with wpa)
[08:51] <Ignite_> Jimbo: no, if you compile something on your machine in the general format it runs a configure script and prepares it for your specific machine.
[08:51] <deema_> no now fwcutter
[08:51] <deema_> Broadcom 43xx Firmware
[08:51] <hoehaver> its cool. take your time man
[08:51] <MinceR> how much help does aptitude provide for that? do i still need to edit sources.list et al. like with apt-get?
[08:52] <deema_> or maybe it is
[08:52] <dope1233> :/
[08:52] <hoehaver> even after i deleted all the lines after line 27 i still got errors...
[08:52] <deema_> go to synaptic
[08:52] <Jimbo> Ignite: i ran the configure script, make , and checkinstall.
[08:52] <roryy> hoehaver: ah? Please put those on the pastebin
[08:52] <deema_> and search for: bcm43xx
[08:52] <dope1233> i can't get to synaptic cause wireless doesn't work on it
[08:52] <dope1233> i tried to use bcm43xx-fwcutter
[08:52] <deema_> ok 1 sec
[08:52] <dope1233> i think i just need a better driver
[08:52] <dope1233> cause my current one doesn't seem to be working
[08:53] <Jimbo> Ignite: Are you saying I cant take the package to another computer and just run checkinstall and install without re compiling?
[08:53] <dope1233> when i first install ubuntu i was able to setup my wireless with bcm43xx-fwcutter and everything was fun
[08:53] <donderwolk> bye
[08:53] <dope1233> but i was in a hotel and installed the latest updates or whatever and now the wireless doesn't connect but i can still see the networks
[08:53] <Jimbo> I guess checkinstall =make install
[08:54] <deema_> hm I don't know
[08:54] <deema_> you can try http://apt.ubuntu.org.tw/ubtw/bcm43xx-firmware/bcm43xx-firmware_1.1-0ubuntu1_all.deb
[08:54] <dope1233> is that just the bcm43xx-fwcutter
[08:55] <Ignite_> Strange, my head feels incredibly heavy...
[08:55] <Jimbo> The reason Im wondering is because I had to install a bunch of other stuff on ubuntu to make this machine even capable of compiling it
[08:55] <deema_> not sure
[08:55] <dope1233> what is that exactly?
[08:55] <dope1233> heh
[08:55] <deema_> I dunno
[08:55] <deema_> worked for me
[08:55] <dope1233> well i guess i'll give it a go anyway
[08:55] <dope1233> should i uninstall my current driver?
[08:55] <hoehaver> roryy http://pastebin.com/826872
[08:55] <Jimbo> pesky penguines...can be a pain
[08:55] <someperson> lol
[08:55] <dope1233> how do i uninstall a driver i installed with bcm43xx-fwcutter?
[08:56] <deema_> i dunno
[08:56] <someperson> uninstall fwcutter, iguess
[08:56] <Borja> Why do people of ubuntu enter directly to this channel?
[08:56] <lucu> \serverlist
[08:56] <someperson> they do?
[08:56] <deema_> where should they?
[08:56] <jmx> were ubunties
[08:56] <dope1233> hmm
[08:56] <roryy> hoehaver: hrm
[08:57] <LjL> Borja: because it's preset in the IRC client that comes shipped with Ubuntu. you can remove it.
[08:57] <someperson> I'm on Mepis, trying to 'buntu
[08:57] <jmx> anyone wanna help me figure out some flash player problem.
[08:57] <roryy> hoehaver: try running apt-get update a few times
[08:58] <hoehaver> i will
[08:58] <Borja> Since it might speak with the manager of ubuntu?
[08:58] <jmx> you will?
[08:58] <LjL> Borja: what?
[08:58] <hoehaver> um...i will run sudo apt-get update a few times
[08:58] <jmx> ok
[08:59] <someperson> i hate broadcom!!
[08:59] <deema_> ya
[08:59] <denki> everybody does
[08:59] <someperson> my BCM4311 is ...
[08:59] <Borja> How might it speak with the administrator of ubuntu?
[08:59] <roryy> hoehaver: if that doesn't work, let me know
[08:59] <hoehaver> roryy same result every time
[08:59] <LjL> Borja: the operators of the #ubuntu channel you mean?
[09:00] <LjL> and with "it" do you mean "i"?
[09:00] <roryy> hoehaver: ok, we can try removing a file and see if that helps
[09:00] <denki> it gets the hose again.
[09:00] <LjL> Borja, in other words, what the heck are you talking about?
[09:00] <Flats> Wow is Xsane one of the better scanning packages available? Seems pretty easy to use
[09:00] <roryy> hoehaver: cd /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/
[09:00] <roryy> hoehaver: now run 'ls' -- is anything listed ?
[09:00] <Borja> no, i want to speak with the administrator of the program ubuntu in general..
[09:01] <LjL> Borja: there is no one single "administrator". there is a lot of people involved.
[09:01] <Flats> Borja: let me know how that goes
[09:01] <Seveas> Borja, there is no such person -- for which purpose do you need to speak with someone?
[09:01] <hoehaver> archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_dapper_main_binary-i386_Packages
[09:01] <birdfish> Because Ubuntu is open sourced, I would be able to use the Ubuntu graphic on my website without licensing issues, right?
[09:01] <steveire> Hey. My camera appears to be unsupported. dmesg should show some messages when I plug it in to the usb port, right? lsusb also shows only my mouse, and not the camera.
[09:01] <Seveas> birdfish, no
[09:01] <roryy> hoehaver: ok, lets remove that file
[09:01] <Seyen> Ok, how do I change the resolution, the not-easy-way-that-lets-me-set-it-to-1280x1024?
[09:01] <Seveas> birdfish, there are trademark rules
[09:01] <LjL> Ubotu, please tell Seyen about fixres
[09:01] <roryy> hoehaver: 'sudo rm archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_dapper_main_binary-i386_Packages'
[09:02] <alecjw> hi
[09:02] <Ignite_> birdfish: that's a matter of trademarks, not software.
[09:02] <roryy> hoehaver: then run 'sudo apt-get update' again
[09:02] <alecjw> oops. soz. wrong window
[09:02] <melot> hi anyone help with my 20.5 G ibm destar HDD, the system seem to detect 2G only
[09:02] <erUSUL> birdfish: ubuntu is opensource but logos graphixs and other resources may have other licenses. check it
[09:02] <Borja> I want to speak with the administrator of the program ubuntu!
[09:02] <LjL> Borja: and i'm telling you there is no such person.
[09:02] <birdfish> Seveas Ignite erUSUL: thanks :)  I'll look into it!
[09:02] <Borja> with the administrator of the program, not with that of the channel!
[09:02] <Seyen> Looks like the bot can't help me either.. Sigh -_-
[09:02] <LjL> Borja: no. such. person.
[09:02] <Seveas> Borja, there is no such person -- for which purpose do you need to speak with someone?
[09:02] <someperson> there is probabl no one person
[09:02] <someperson> lol
[09:03] <Seveas> Seyen, the bot will respond in a minute, it has some lag
[09:03] <deema_> I'm the administrator, you can talk to me
[09:03] <Seyen> ...Newb overload))
[09:03] <deema_> :)
[09:03] <alecjw> Borja: why?
[09:03] <Borja> there is no such person -- for which purpose do you need to speak with someone?
[09:03] <steveire> I also tried it in the other usb ports, and other devices leave dmesg messages. Any ideas?
[09:03] <Ignite_> Borja: the guy that founded ubuntu is Mark Shuttleworth, but if you have a complaint it's better off elsewhere...
[09:03] <Borja> There has to be a presented manager of handling the program..
[09:03] <hoehaver> roryy it worked :)
[09:03] <hoehaver> no errors
[09:03] <roryy> hoehaver: great
[09:03] <hoehaver> thank you.
[09:03] <Seveas> Borja, there is no such thing as 'the program'
[09:03] <deema_> Mike Shuttleworth I guess...
[09:03] <LjL> deema_: Mark even
[09:03] <kmaynard> mark
[09:04] <roryy> hoehaver: that's happened to me once or twice, but not for quite a while
[09:04] <Seveas> we have  arelease manager, pr people, a ceo, various other responsible persons
[09:04] <deema_> oh
[09:04] <deema_> haha
[09:04] <someperson> deema_: i am having trouble getting my bcm4311 working
[09:04] <hoehaver> what exactly was the problem?
[09:04] <deema_> oh?
[09:04] <melot> anyone here help me with my hard disk problem?
[09:04] <Seveas> Borja, if you tell us what you need 'the manager'for, we can tell you who you need
[09:04] <someperson> can you help?
[09:04] <Ignite_> !ubuntu man
[09:04] <deema_> http://apt.ubuntu.org.tw/ubtw/bcm43xx-firmware/bcm43xx-firmware_1.1-0ubuntu1_all.deb
[09:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu man - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:04] <deema_> try this
[09:04] <Borja> all stupids..
[09:04] <Ignite_> >_>
[09:04] <someperson> i have that
[09:04] <deema_> I don't know then
[09:04] <someperson> hmm
[09:05] <roryy> hoehaver: i don't know. apt-get gets its knickers in a knot sometimes; no idea why
[09:05] <hoehaver> o ok.
[09:05] <hoehaver> but thank you all the same
[09:06] <alecjw> wtf was borja talking about? he/she wanted to speak to mark becuase she doesnt like xchat automatically logging her into #ubuntu?
[09:06] <someperson> i also have bcm43xx-fwcutter
[09:06] <Seveas> %rss announce ubuntusecurity
[09:06] <ubotu> OK
[09:06] <someperson> will that affect it?
[09:07] <someperson> lol
[09:08] <LjL> alecjw: or something
[09:09] <Ignite_> O.o
[09:09] <Utopiate> So I have 72% of system RAM in use for cache? Would cleaning out the cache bring that down and how would I do that?
[09:09] <LjL> Utopiate, the RAM that is used for caching is freed automatically when programs require it. you don't need to worry about it.
[09:10] <deema_> true that
[09:10] <Utopiate> I thought so but my system monitors always make me antsy to "tune" the system
[09:10] <LjL> resist the temptation
[09:10] <Utopiate> beryl has been running great though... i got it all tweaked out using the nvidia beta drivers... very nice...
[09:10] <alecjw> LjL: i hate people like that, don't you? they seem to think that, becuase this is a commuinity run project, mark has the time and energy to listen to their whinges about program config. in windoze, you wouldn't comalun to bill because you think that IE's defualt homepages should be googloe.com, woild you?
[09:11] <Utopiate> I might
[09:11] <LjL> alecjw, he was just clueless.
[09:12] <draeath> is it possible to mount a USB drive without cache?
[09:12] <alecjw> draeath: i think ubuntu does that by defualt
[09:13] <psusi> draeath: yes, but it is a bad idea
[09:13] <psusi> makes access to it horribly slow, and wears out the flash quickly
[09:13] <draeath> not in this case
[09:13] <draeath> i want 'cp' to take a horribly long time, because if i copy over a file to my Sansa, i want to know when it's really done
[09:13] <iter> nice
[09:13] <psusi> some people have reportedly ruined their flash drives in a few days by doing that
[09:13] <patrick_king> !lamp
[09:13] <ubotu> lamp is Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL.  For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP  -  See also the Server CD install menu.
[09:13] <iter> Buffer I/O error on device hda1, logical block xx
[09:13] <iter> :\
[09:14] <draeath> this isn't a flash drive, only thing that happens is mp3s on, mp3s off
[09:14] <alecjw> draeath: either psusi or i must be wrong.l it's probbly me. iognore me
[09:14] <trappist> draeath: I just manually umount the device, which (in my experience) won't complete until the write is really done
[09:14] <psusi> draeath: why do you want to know when it is done?  and it takes a lot longer to copy it than it actually takes to copy it with cache enabled
[09:14] <psusi> draeath: because it hammers the shit out of the fat
[09:14] <deema_> FATAL: Module firmware_class not found. FATAL: Module relayfs not found. FATAL: Module crc32 not found...   What do I do ???
[09:15] <psusi> aye.... always unmount before yuo unplug
[09:15] <mnepton> awwww .... i missed Borja
[09:16] <draeath> psusi, really?
[09:16] <alecjw> mnepton: me too. it feels awful, doesn't it? i wanted to yell at him/her
[09:16] <psusi> there was a patch proposed to add a flush mount option that still allowed caching, but flushed it when the file was closed... but for some reason it never got merged into the kernel
[09:16] <abo> to install jboss in ubuntu.. I just download it and extract it to the local disk?
[09:16] <dope12345> ok that didn't work either
[09:16] <psusi> I posted to the lkml the other day asking what ever happened to it
[09:16] <draeath> psusi, ok, so how can i see the status of the copy operation?
[09:16] <dope12345> same problem. i can see wireless networks and it tries to connect but it won't connect
[09:16] <mc44> mnepton: I hope you have enough tarantulas for the rest of the class
[09:16] <iamjwc> Does anyone have a reference for dual booting windows and ubuntu from seperate harddrives?
[09:16] <psusi> draeath: do you really care?  or do you just want to know when it is safe to unplug?
[09:16] <Seveas> mnepton, !
[09:16] <mnepton> alecjw: the CoC sorta discourages that. but a quiet moment of schadenfreude is fine. ;)
[09:16] <draeath> psusi, yes
[09:17] <draeath> psusi, both
[09:17] <Seveas> mnepton, how's allhands?
[09:17] <mc44> mnepton: broken any flaming boards recently?
[09:17] <mnepton> Seveas: pretty good. we had this *weird* team building session on Monday. it was ... surreal.
[09:17] <iamjwc> Does anyone have a reference for dual booting windows and ubuntu from seperate harddrives?
[09:17] <alecjw> mnepton: i dodn't mean it literally. i meant as in explain to him/her that if he/she finds a problem with a program, she should report a bug and not compain to mark
[09:17] <mnepton> mc44: i bailed on that part of the program.
[09:17] <Seveas> mnepton, hmmm, *YOU* say of something that it's weird.... Then it must be really weird!
[09:18] <Ignite_> iamjwc: it's just like doing it from one HDD.
[09:18] <mnepton> Seveas: i love you, too ;)
[09:18] <Ignite_> iamjwc: just make sure you install windows first.
[09:18] <mc44> mnepton: damn right too. Im supreised Mark went in for all that, but what do i know :)

[09:18] <mnepton> mc44: wasn't his call.
[09:18] <psusi> draeath: you should always unmount before you unplug... when the unmount finishes it is safe to unplug... in fact, I think you get a nice little progress bar these days
