[21:10] <HighNo> simps: setup putty that everything for the already working connection to the ubuntu box is done. Then go to "Connection->SSH->Tunnels" and at the field "Source Port" enter "5910", at the field below enter "localhost:5900", make sure the radiobox below reads "local", then click on  "Add", you may then want to save these settings as a template in PuTTYs main screen

[21:10] <babo> when i plug in my usb it doesn't show on the screen ...
[21:10] <LinuxTweaker> iskin, even the "debian-menu.sml" file the script needs isn't in place...  Seems like this package wasn't completely converted from debian for ubuntu...
[21:11] <DRebellion> JxmlT_87: what sort of file is it?
[21:11] <asfas> wer
[21:11] <iskin> LinuxTweaker:ls
[21:11] <simps> HighNo, what do you mean by "make it connect to blahblah"

[21:11] <Pirate-King> cp file  destination?
[21:12] <LinuxTweaker> iskin, ls what?
[21:12] <JxmlT_87> DRebellion: Its a .tar
[21:12] <HighNo> simps: if you start the vncviewer on the windows machine it should as for "server:" it wants to connect to - enter "localhost:10"
[21:12] <babo> scsi 6:0:0:0: rejecting I/O to dead device
[21:12] <iskin> LinuxTweaker: Wrong window.
[21:12] <babo> that doesn't sound good

[21:12] <zLoSteR> ei guys i have 2 HDDs on the first i have Linux Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy on the Second i have Windows XP how can i make dual boot
[21:13] <Parsec300> DRebellion, I've installed Wallpaper-tray and it worked, however, I quit before I added a directory. Now it won't load anymore, because it says it can't find any pics in the configured dir. I can't even get into the config editor anymore. I've tried removing it with apt-get, but somehow it keeps a config file somewhere, but I have no idea where. Do you?
[21:13] <Pirate-King> DASPRiD--> cp trash.zip  home?
[21:13] <simps> HighNo, i still get "unable to open display"
[21:13] <JxmlT_87> Drebellion: Right I did that and it old me the file is a directory. its the new alsa file if that helps
[21:13] <DASPRiD> Pirate-King: cp trash.zip ~(
[21:13] <DASPRiD> Pirate-King: cp trash.zip ~/
[21:13] <magick> woo hoo! solved the laggy keyboard. I think I know why it happened now. I tried to hibernate once and when i tried to boot back into it it failed so I hard reset it and I believe the problem has been happening ever since then. On boot, it still tries to resume hibernation. Is there a way to remove that attempt?
[21:13] <howlingmadhowie> zLoSteR: either you configure grub, or you dual boot through the bios of the pc
[21:13] <simps> HighNo, it says "vncviewer: unable to open display"
[21:13] <iskin> LinuxTweaker: It does seem that the package hasn't been completely ported to ubuntu.
[21:14] <LinuxTweaker> iskin, yeah -- now I'm trying to figure out where to file a bug report...
[21:14] <DRebellion> Parsec300: no :(  try locate wallpaper-tray

[21:14] <babo> can anyone have a look at my dmesg pastebin for when i plug in my usb ?
[21:14] <babo> http://pastebin.com/m76e53884
[21:14] <ViRgiLiO> ups, this is not console :)
[21:15] <HighNo> simps: ok, then either the tunnel is not up yet or the vnc server is not running. you saved the settings as I told you? Of course you would have to make a new connection to the ubuntu box with these new settings, otherwise the tunnel is not up yet.
[21:15] <backgen> hey i just installed a Calendar app through the Add/remove function but it's not showing up in my applications tab
[21:15] <crackhead_25_> after my installation, i keep getting a black screen after i log into the session..????
[21:15] <gmcastil> How does one install a 64-bit JRE?  I had assumed that the 64-bit ubuntu would use that...is that not the case?
[21:16] <simps> HighNo, i can connect via ssh to ubuntu and type in commands, i can also connect via VNC to see ubuntu's desktop (without encryption)
[21:16] <jchstevens> Please can anyone advise on an error I get when trying to upgrade from gutsy to feisty?
[21:16] <HighNo> simps: on windows side there always a potential problem with a firewall. It should let traffic addressed to localhost pass but you never know...
[21:16] <jchstevens> The process gets stuck while "Modfying the Software Channels"
[21:16] <howlingmadhowie> gmcastil: since the new version of java6 isn't yet in the repositories, i'd recommend downloading directly from sun
[21:17] <simps> HighNo, firewall is off
[21:17] <HighNo> simps: what connection string do you use to connect vnc at the moment
[21:17] <gmcastil> howlingmadhowie: does apt mix 64 and 32 bit libs?
[21:17] <simps> HighNo, what do you mean?
[21:17] <Laney> Anyone know a command to convert a pdf document to a handout? (x pages in input -> 1 page in output)
[21:17] <snkmad> anyone knows how to disable pppoe-conf from running on boot time?
[21:17] <howlingmadhowie> gmcastil: i think the version of java6 in the 64-bit repositories is the 64 bit version
[21:17] <HighNo> simps: what do you enter in the vncviewer to get a connection
[21:18] <gmcastil> howlingmadhowie: is there a way to tell what's installed? dpkg -p sun-java6-jre is what i've been doing
[21:18] <crackhead_25_> can anyone help me get my ubuntu installation working? i keep getting a black screen after i log into a session... ?????
[21:18] <simps> HighNo, via ssh, i try to enter "vncviewer localhost:0"
[21:18] <HighNo> simps: ehm. I am lost now
[21:18] <HighNo> simps: this is not what I intended.
[21:19] <usr13_> HighNo: simps;  nmap localhost
[21:19] <howlingmadhowie> gmcastil: i think "apt-cache policy sun-java6-jre" does the same
[21:19] <HighNo> simps: I wanted you to start a vncviewer on the WINDOWS machine, not within the ssh session
[21:19] <iskin> LinuxTweaker: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=openbox. And if you need to setup http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=192106 is a good tutorial and the one I used.
[21:19] <usr13_> HighNo: simps;  vncview localhost:5901
[21:20] <simps> HighNo, via commandline?
[21:20] <LinuxTweaker> iskin, thanks - looking at them now...
[21:20] <howlingmadhowie> gmcastil: have a look at "apt-cache show sun-java6-jre". that seems to say some interesting things
[21:20] <HighNo> usr13_: he wants to have that started on windows!!!
[21:20] <simps> usr13_, i type that into ssh and it says command not found
[21:20] <super-6-1> hello anyone know how to install a eyetoy as a webcam?
[21:20] <robdig> Laney: in evince (default pdf viewer), do file->print, page setup tab, then number of pages per side...assume other pdf viewers can do it too
[21:20] <speeddemon8803> Hi, how do I use apt-cd to install xubuntu on a ubuntu server installation?
[21:20] <Laney> robdig: Yeah, but I need them to be the other way round :(
[21:20] <HighNo> simps: now we are talking: dont use the windows command line, either don't use the ssh session once it is open
[21:20] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_, the more information you can supply to help people to help you, the more likely you are to get help. you log in, and immediately your screen goes blank, yes? is it a hard freeze, or can you get back to prompt? what graphics card do you have, and since when has this been happening - new install or upgrade etc - what have you tried , if anything?
[21:21] <HighNo> simps: you have a vncviewer in the start menu, right?
[21:21] <magick> Anyone know how to remove hibernate images from the hard drive?
[21:21] <snkmad> anyone knows how to disable pppoe-conf from running on boot time?
[21:21] <simps> HighNo, an exe file, yes
[21:21] <erUSUL> speeddemon8803: sudo apt-cd  add /dev/cdrom then sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[21:21] <HighNo> simps: ok, doubleclick on that
[21:21] <speeddemon8803> thanks erusul!
[21:21] <simps> ok HighNo
[21:21] <playboyiam> no banging the door near me ok or any loud noise
[21:21] <HighNo> simps: it should as you for a server to connect to
[21:22] <HighNo> simps: right?
[21:22] <simps> alright HighNo, but that doesn't use encryption
[21:22] <speeddemon8803> ive been trying to get a DE on this server for a while, downloading alternative xubuntu..now ive got enough info to get my stuff working, thanks again!
[21:22] <simps> brb HighNo  usr13_

[21:23] <sarthor> HI, insmod: a module named sll_lib already exists
[21:23] <sarthor> insmod: a module named skynet already exists
[21:23] <sarthor> how to unload?
[21:23] <crackhead_25_> SleepingSloth: yes, it immediately goes black. i can't get back to the prompt. however, it doesn't seem to be a hard freeze. i have a intel 845/915, i believe, chipset.. this has been happening every time except teh first time since i installed ubuntu this morning.. new install.. i've tried a dpkg-reconfigure of xserver-xorg.. i've tried making a new user and logging in.. same thing happens..
[21:23] <howlingmadhowie> sarthor: rmmod
[21:23] <HighNo> sarthor: sudo rmmod ...
[21:23] <tarankowski> i can't do  as root. If i type "sudo something" write: "/home/bartek/.gnome/cokolwiek: 5: /usr/bin/: Permission denied" what should i do?
[21:23] <usr13_> HighNo: simps Try doing what HighNo said,  use the vncviewer
[21:24] <sarthor> HighNo> howlingmadhowie sll_lib: Device or resource busy
[21:24] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_,  ati or nvidia?
[21:24] <HighNo> sarthor: use lsmod to look what module uses it, unload that module first if possible
[21:24] <crackhead_25_> SleepingSloth: i dont believe it's either.. intel..
[21:24] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_,  oh, sorry - integrated?
[21:24] <howlingmadhowie> sarthor: enter "lsmod" and see what's using it
[21:24] <crackhead_25_> SleepingSloth: integrated
[21:25] <bad_cables> hey, i just ran monkey webserver and when i go to http://localhost i dont get crap
[21:25] <bad_cables> is there something funkey in the ubuntu firewall setup?
[21:25] <howlingmadhowie> bad_cables: is it running on port 80?
[21:25] <bad_cables> yeah, and i can see it running as a process in top
[21:26] <howlingmadhowie> bad_cables: you're sure it's running on port 80? :)
[21:26] <bad_cables> lemmie check the conf
[21:26] <jchstevens> Please can anyone advise on an error I get when trying to upgrade from gutsy to feisty?
[21:26] <jchstevens> The process gets stuck while "Modfying the Software Channels"
[21:26] <super-6-1> so anyone know how to use the eyetoy as a webcam
[21:26] <HighNo> bad_cables: do you have lsof installed - it might show if it is just bound to localhost:80 instead of <IP_ADDRESS>:80
[21:26] <jchstevens> Fetching File 52 out of 56
[21:26] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_, hmm.... what does the xorg log say?
[21:26] <blag> i live in colorado, USA; which download location should i use (is there one on the Internet2 backbone)?
[21:26] <twistedbeatfreek> can anyone help me set up my network connection to my other computers running windows
[21:27] <bad_cables> LOL!
[21:27] <crackhead_25_> SleepingSloth: it says a lot. pages and pages, and i have no idea what it means. i'm noob. i have no way to get it to the internet, because i can't see the screen to copy/paste.. at the same time i am internet connected on the laptop..
[21:27] <HighNo> twistedbeatfreek: have a look here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+question/8091
[21:27] <blag> twistedbeatfreek: i might be able to...have you installed samba?
[21:27] <bad_cables> OMG the defualt in the new monkey is port 2001
[21:27] <bad_cables> haha
[21:27] <Flare183> !lol | bad_cables
[21:27] <ubotu> bad_cables: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks.
[21:27] <bad_cables> sorry
[21:27] <Flare183> no problem
[21:27] <twistedbeatfreek> blag: nmo ill get it now
[21:27] <howlingmadhowie> bad_cables: if you ever don't know what port something's running on, try "netstat -pl"
[21:27] <bad_cables> thanks dudes
[21:28] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_,  try this: tail /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[21:28] <Kunzy> Does anyone have an idea on how to get a TV tuner to work in Ubuntu
[21:28] <crackhead_25_> SleepingSloth: im not in a commandline console at the moment. shall i restart and then recover mode and get thereE?
[21:28] <blag> twistedbeatfreek:
[21:28] <HighNo> bad_cables: now you know why it's named "monkey" right? :-)
[21:28] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_,  do the last few lines give any clue as to why the xserver is crashing?
[21:28] <Rodolfo> !LAMP
[21:28] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for 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 installation process (different in Edgy+)
[21:29] <bad_cables> yeah, same reason why i use it
[21:29] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_, yes
[21:29] <blag> twistedbeatfreek: you can use System > Administration > Shared Folders to install it
[21:29] <super-6-1> Kunzy, MythTV
[21:29] <Kunzy> thanks
[21:29]  * bad_cables gives a banana to all the monkies in the chan
[21:29] <crackhead_25_> SleepingSloth: ok, will do. dont assume and skip steps with me. i may not always know what you mean/want me to do :)
[21:29]  * super-6-1 eats it
[21:29] <simps> HighNo, usr13_ back
[21:30] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_, before you restart, have you tried ctrl+alt+f1?
[21:30] <bad_cables> at least i compiled this one and ran it on my own this time... that is 2 in a row today ;)
[21:30] <feanorek> when i type ./configure i get this: checking for X... no
[21:30] <feanorek> configure: error: Can't locate your X11 installation
[21:30] <howlingmadhowie> Kunzy: basically there are 2 different ways: v4l-devices (where everything just works) and dvb-devices (where you are entering a world of pain). most devices support v4l :)
[21:30] <simps> HighNo, i can use that to connect if i type in the local ip, not localhost because the vncserver is not on my windows, its on my ubuntu
[21:30] <crackhead_25_> SleepingSloth: it has a few lines about xf86unbindgartmemory unbind keys..
[21:30] <HighNo> simps: ok, did you read my last line just before you were gone?
[21:30] <feanorek> these are the last two lines, im trying to compile conky
[21:30] <bad_cables> later... GO GIANTS
[21:30] <Rodolfo> LAMP for linux is the same thing as WAMP for windows, isnt it?
[21:30] <twistedbeatfreek> blag: ok im doing that now
[21:30] <crackhead_25_> SleepingSloth: it also has output tv disconnetced.. edid for output tv.. synaptics deviceoff called.. device on called..
[21:30] <super-6-1> so anyone know how to use a eyetoy as a web cam?
[21:30] <HighNo> simps: that is true - BUT - that is where the ssh tunnel comes into the game
[21:31] <blag> twistedbeatfreek: that will take care of a lot of stuff for you
[21:31] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_, ok... one moment
[21:31] <Kunzy> thanks, if i have troubles, i'll check in.    I just want to work on ubuntu and watch the game
[21:31] <HighNo> simps: so please again: type "localhost:10" in there
[21:31] <twistedbeatfreek> blag is it just like windows after that i dont know much about networking
[21:31] <newermind> Rodolfo, yes
[21:31] <lollo> ciao
[21:32] <lollo> someone use stardict? i've some problems ...
[21:32] <runa> can sb help me asociate a program to mmst protocol to firefox?
[21:32] <simps> HighNo, so i connect first with ssh, then doubleclick the exe and put localhost:10 into the address?
[21:32] <HighNo> simps: to explain a bit: the ssh tunnel setting we made before automatically redirects any traffic ariving on the windows (putty) end at port 5910 to the ssh server on the other side (encrypted!) and there it is forwarded to "localhost:5900" (the second line we entered in putty's settings)
[21:32] <HighNo> simps: correct!
[21:32] <blag> twistedbeatfreek: its not quite like windows.  you can use that program to select folders you wish to share over the network.  past that, i know very little about it
[21:33] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_,  I suppose it's worth checking that your Xorg.conf is in order
[21:33] <fujin> anyone got a tutorial for configuring gfs+gnbd on Ubuntu?
[21:33] <crackhead_25_> SleepingSloth: how do i do that?
[21:33] <lollo> someone use stardict? i've some problems ...
[21:33] <c> alguien habla español
[21:33] <twistedbeatfreek> blag how do i share the folders im new with ubuntu
[21:33] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_,  sudo vi /etc/Xorg/xorg.conf
[21:33] <blag> System > Administration > Shared Folders
[21:34] <sanzky> hi everyone. Does anyone knows how to pass the password as an argument to telnet?
[21:34] <blag> twistedbeatfreek: System > Administration > Shared Folders
[21:34] <sanzky> I need to login automaticly without user intervention
[21:34] <howlingmadhowie> sanzky: what are you doing with telnet?
[21:34] <blag> click add, find folder, etc.
[21:34] <Rodolfo> nevermind: and what's the difference between LAMP for linux and XAMPP?
[21:34] <blag> twistedbeatfreek: click add, find folder, etc.
[21:34] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_,  make sure everything in there matches your hardware
[21:34] <anibal> buenas
[21:34] <EdgeT> Hey guys, could anyone please help me with my wifi
[21:34] <sanzky> telnet will connecto to a RAS in a lan
[21:34] <EdgeT> ?
[21:34] <HighNo> sanzky: no, telnet is not usually doing these things. Try to look for a scriptable telnet that can autoconnect
[21:34] <crackhead_25_> SleepingSloth: i don tsee anything.. it says new directory.. ?? how do i get out of vi??
[21:35] <Rodolfo> newermind: and what's the difference between LAMP for linux and XAMPP? ***
[21:35] <blag> Rodolfo: i dont think anything is different, except one runs on Windows, and one runs on Linux
[21:35] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_,  colon-q  (:q)
[21:35] <sanzky> HigNo, any recommendation?
[21:35] <EdgeT> Anyone?
[21:35] <simps> HighNo, it doesn't work, i've tried localhost:5901, 5900, 5910, 10, 0, 1
[21:35] <HighNo> sanzky: wait a sec...
[21:35] <crackhead_25_> SleepingSloth: it's nto working
[21:35] <simps> HighNo, all sorts of ports
[21:35] <howlingmadhowie> sanzky: what's an RAS?
[21:35] <crackhead_25_> ok im out.. what went wrong? id idnt see anything
[21:36] <speedhunt3r> Can someone help me troubleshoot Samaba? I followed the official guide for file sharing so that I can join MSHOME and see the PCs running windows on the network but i can't see anything, where do I look for any problems? I have no clue.
[21:36] <HighNo> simps: it might be that "port forwarding" which is ssh's term for what we are doing here - is not enabled on the ubuntu machine...
[21:36] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_, sorry, me being a spanner. its etc/X11/xorg.conf,
[21:36] <crackhead_25_> SleepingSloth: it was X11..
[21:36] <jmdc> on my machine, seq behaves differently than /usr/bin/seq. See here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54641/
[21:36] <HighNo> simps: the ssh session is still alive?
[21:36] <howlingmadhowie> speedhunt3r: how long have you been waiting for file-shares to turn up? i find samba takes at least 5 minutes to find stuff
[21:36] <crackhead_25_> ok, there's a lot of finfo.. what am i looking for?
[21:36] <simps> speedhunt3r, did you configure the smb.conf file?
[21:36] <simps> HighNo, yes
[21:36] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_,  sorry, long day ;)
[21:36] <HighNo> speedhunt3r: have a look at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+question/8091
[21:37] <foibles> hi there
[21:37] <foibles> whats the command to uncompress things from a shell?
[21:37] <sanzky> howlingmadhowie, its a device for allowing remote access to other devices in a lan
[21:37] <scguy318> foibles: depends on what you're decompressing
[21:37] <speedhunt3r> howlingmadhowie: I wait a little while when I open network, It shows windows network, I double click it, it works for a few seconds (the gnome paw is animated) but nothing shows up
[21:37] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_,  well, screen resolutions etc - basically, this file should match the settings you gave dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[21:37] <SpaceBass> hey folks, I've got a problem with a NIC in a 7.10 server I've just built
[21:37] <foibles> scguy318, bz2
[21:37] <sanzky> but for techinical reasons we cant use ssh
[21:37] <howlingmadhowie> foibles: depends how they're compressed. try gunzip or bunzip2
[21:38] <simps> speedhunt3r, if its a local network, then it should show the files pretty quickly
[21:38] <SpaceBass> I see the module for the driver loaded, and ifconfig shows the device, but it will not aquire an address
[21:38] <speedhunt3r> simps: i'm not sure whta you're talking about.
[21:38] <bad_cables> in network manager, if i want to have a fixed addy with my wireless... is that possible?

[21:38] <foibles> scguy318, ah yes, thats it
[21:38] <howlingmadhowie> speedhunt3r: try smbtree on the command line
[21:38] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_,  also.... under device - the section referring to your graphics adapter - what driver is it using?
[21:38] <howlingmadhowie> sanzky: telnet doesn't define protocols for logging in and passwords. how you do that depends on the device you're connecting to
[21:39] <speedhunt3r> howlingmadhowie: it just asked for my password...back to prompt.
[21:39] <HighNo> simps: ok, i just looked in the man  page - portforwarding is enabled by default...
[21:39] <sourcemaker> this question is off-topic...  but does somebody know... how I can export openoffice document to pdf via command line? => open document => update ALL => export to PDF... I did't find a macro for this stuff
[21:39] <er4z0r> I am trying to install maven2 on 7.10 ubuntu
[21:39] <er4z0r> anyone running this?
[21:39] <crackhead_25_> SleepingSloth: under which section, screen? there is no "dirver".. that im seeing..
[21:39] <simps> speedhunt3r, sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf
[21:39] <HighNo> simps: could you tell me the exact line you enter to start an unencrypted vnc session?
[21:39] <crackhead_25_> SleepingSloth: ok, it says driver "intel"
[21:39] <crackhead_25_> SleepingSloth: should i change that?
[21:39] <playboyiam> is there netscape for linux?
[21:40] <howlingmadhowie> speedhunt3r: and didn't show any shares? that's not a good sign
[21:40] <simps> HighNo, i put in <IP_ADDRESS> into the address
[21:40] <simps> HighNo, the local ip for the ubuntu
[21:40] <speedhunt3r> howlingmadhowie: no shares
[21:40] <speedhunt3r> simps: what do i do next?
[21:40] <nagyv> hello! could someone help me with a bluetooth program? I can neither connect browse my phone from the computer, nor send a file from the phone to the computer. Still, I can connect to my phone using MulitSync.
[21:40] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_,  well, you could try using i810 instead.
[21:41] <simps> speedhunt3r, you see a file loaded, right?
[21:41] <howlingmadhowie> speedhunt3r: and you have a windows computer attached to your lan which has some shared files or folders on it?
[21:41] <sanzky> howlingmadhowie, well, then Im in a big problem, jeje
[21:41] <TrioTorus> what is the livecd sudo password?
[21:41] <speedhunt3r> simps: yes I can see the config file.
[21:41] <gmcastil> if I run fetchmail on ubuntu, will it bring my mail to /home/user/mail or someplace in /var/spool ?
[21:41] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_,  i should point out that i dont have integrated gfx, and i'm no expert - but i am aware of some problems with the intel driver in the past, at least
[21:41] <crackhead_25_> SleepingSloth: ok, rebooting.. we'll see..
[21:41] <twistedbeatfreek> blag ok i put a shared folder in and went to check my other computer and didnt see the connection
[21:41] <xrr> Hey guys. I have a problem using the "make" commando. I always get Error 1 and Error 2 when trying make. Anyone know why this might be? Using Ubuntu 77.10
[21:41] <speedhunt3r> howlingmadhowie: yeah I have a XP pc sharing 1 folder just to troubleshoot...it's on the same workgroup.
[21:41] <howlingmadhowie> sanzky: you have to work out what the device wants to hear. for example, a POP3 server wants to hear USER <username> and then PASS <password>
[21:41] <simps> speedhunt3r, scroll down until you see "workgroup"
[21:41] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_,  you'll need to install that driver, i would have thought
[21:42] <xrr> trying to use it..
[21:42] <crackhead_25_> oh really? how do i do that??
[21:42] <simps> speedhunt3r, change that to whatever network you connect to from windows
[21:42] <sanzky> howlingmadhowie, Can I echo the user and password from another process?
[21:42] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_,  i think its xserver-xorg-driver-i810 - so...  sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-driver-i810
[21:42] <crackhead_25_> well, it seemed to have worked.. just typing it in.. in that file..
[21:42] <LadyNikon> hi.. i am following the guide to put other a dual monitor system.. do you know if "EndSection" should be placed between each declaration of a screen session
[21:42] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_,  hopefully, someone who is better placed to help you will chip in...
[21:42] <howlingmadhowie> sanzky: i doubt it. when you telnet into the device, what do you see?
[21:42] <crackhead_25_> perhaps it was already isntalled? i just booted in, and it loogged in.. and there was no black screen.. LOOKS SOVLED??!
[21:43] <simps> speedhunt3r, so the line should be "workgroup = networknamehere"
[21:43] <crackhead_25_> although the dimensions aren't exactly right..
[21:43] <crackhead_25_> it looks a little bit smaller than it should be
[21:43] <HighNo> simps: I can't see any problem with that - vnc is running as usual on port 5900 then. Could you please check if the settings of the ssh session are alright? can you make a screenshot of the tunnel settings page of putty?
[21:43] <sanzky> howlingmadhowie, a welcome message and a prompt asking for my username
[21:43] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_,  ah- well, perhaps it was installed as a result of a dependancy elsewhere...
[21:43] <howlingmadhowie> sanzky: which you then enter. and what happens then?
[21:43] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_,  well, at least we're getting somewhere though
[21:43] <crackhead_25_> what should i do now? something about a 915 hack? is that what i need to do?
[21:43] <nagyv> TrioTorus: I think the LiveCD ubuntu user does not need a password
[21:44] <speedhunt3r> simps: it's workgroup = MSHOME as it should be.
[21:44] <gmcastil> how does one configure services from the CLI?
[21:44] <rsk> gmcastil: with an editor and bash
[21:44] <sanzky> it ask for password or for the username again if I didnt type anything
[21:44] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_,  i honestly couldnt say.... if resolution looks wrong, i would be looking at the xorg.conf again....
[21:44] <howlingmadhowie> sanzky: so you enter the password...
[21:44] <sanzky> yes
[21:44] <gmcastil> rsk: i was referring to which processes started during which run level
[21:44] <howlingmadhowie> sanzky: and everything works?
[21:44] <sanzky> yes
[21:44] <gmcastil> rsk: i'm trying to get fetchmail to run
[21:44] <howlingmadhowie> sanzky: so what's the problem? :)
[21:44] <crackhead_25_> SleepingSloth: i look at screen resolution pref.. it only has the option of 1024x768.. when it should be larger, like 1280x768 or 1280x800..
[21:45] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_,  yeah - that'll be in xorg.conf
[21:45] <xrr> Hey. I need some help guys. I am trying to install ipwraw-ng, by using "make". But I get the error when trying to make: "Error 1, and also Error 2". I have got the same problem trying to install or make other programs..
[21:45] <sanzky> howlingmadhowie, I need to login automaticly, without typing anything. with a script or something
[21:45] <gmcastil> xrr: did you run configure yet?
[21:45] <howlingmadhowie> speedhunt3r: do you have a firewall running?
[21:45] <speedhunt3r> simps: here's another thing, when I try to set a smbpaswd it says connection to local host timed out...
[21:45] <blag> twistedbeatfreek: unfortunately, that is the extent of my knowledge, you can ask your question again, though
[21:45] <speedhunt3r> howlingmadhowie: nope...
[21:45] <xrr> gmcastil, I guess not..
[21:45] <simps> speedhunt3r, press ctrl+w and then search for [homes]
[21:45] <Skade> -fr
[21:45] <howlingmadhowie> sanzky: tricky but possible
[21:45] <gmcastil> xrr: have you ever built anything from source before?
[21:46] <xrr> no, i have not
[21:46] <crackhead_25_> SleepingSloth: how do i get to xorg.conf and reset it up while in the gnome session??
[21:46] <sunseeker888> hi guys, by mistakes , i removed some program from top panel. knotes & kalarm. how can i restore them to panel
[21:46] <SleepingSloth> crackhead - you'll need to add the resolutions, and restart X. although i would recommend restarting the machine, sometimes restarting X has slightly unexpected results....
[21:46]  * lorogon RadioGNU http://cnslg.org.ve:8000/radiotron
[21:46] <gmcastil> xrr: there will typically be a couple files in the top of the source tree: INSTALL and README
[21:46] <sanzky> howlingmadhowie. well, I'll keep trying. thanks for your help
[21:46] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_,  open a terminal and type sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[21:46] <speedhunt3r> simps: found homes...browseable = yes
[21:46] <gmcastil> xrr: they usually explain the build process, but, in general, it's usually something like:
[21:46] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_, but you *will* have to restart X atleast
[21:46] <sanzky> need to go. thanks all
[21:46] <xrr> ok :-) Thank you
[21:46] <HighNo> sanzky: do you need an interactive session afterwards or would it be sufficient to enter a set of commands and quit afterwards?
[21:47] <sanzky> HighNo, i need an interactive session
[21:47] <gmcastil> xrr: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local && make && make install ...dont't blindly run those commands, though
[21:47] <speedhunt3r> simps: the PC running XP can see my computer, I just can't see any pcs over here...
[21:47] <crackhead_25_> SleepingSloth: im in the gedit.. now what??
[21:47] <xrr> ok, i see
[21:47] <xrr> and actually get what your saying.
[21:47] <xrr> thank you
[21:47] <simps> HighNo, i can connect now ;D, i added 5901 instead of 5900
[21:47] <simps> HighNo, however, it still says no encryption
[21:48] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_, well,add the new resolutions into the relevant section-just follow the convention that is already in use.
[21:48] <gmcastil> xrr: since ubuntu uses a package manager, though, you want to avoid mixing and matching prgs built from source with deb packages
[21:48] <HighNo> simps: where did you enter the 5901 instead of 5900 and who says there is no encryption?
[21:48] <gmcastil> xrr: i would probably install it in your home directory or in /usr/local if you must
[21:48] <speedhunt3r> simps: the xp PC can see my computer but when i try to access it, it says network path not found.
[21:48] <crackhead_25_> SleepingSloth: the proper display is alreayd there in the file.. but it's not being used at the moment??
[21:48] <bad_cables> how do i specify a static addy with netmanager?
[21:48] <xrr> yes, i know, but i cannot find it using the package manager..
[21:48] <gmcastil> xrr: that said, you'll want to make sure that you get everything configured correctly (man pages in /usr/local/share, etc)
[21:48] <Halpain> Hola!
[21:49] <Halpain> ALguien de españa!
[21:49] <xrr> ok
[21:49] <simps> HighNo, 5900 says no encryption, should i try 5901?
[21:49] <robdig> !es | Halpain
[21:49] <ubotu> Halpain: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda.
[21:49] <simps> speedhunt3r, i have the same problem lol ;D ;x
[21:49] <x-punk> anyone here with an ipod touch who uses it on linux?
[21:49] <gmcastil> xrr: its totally fine to build and install in /usr/local, but you don't want to install it in /usr or partially in /usr or /usr/local
[21:49] <HighNo> simps: again please - where did you enter the 5901 instead of 5900 and who says there is no encryption?
[21:49] <Halpain> tengo un problema con el sonido en ubuntu!
[21:49] <Sinister> can you make a avi into a mpg ?
[21:49] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_, there are resolutions listed in xorg.conf that do not appear as options in 'screen resolution' in gnome - is that what you're saying?
[21:49] <gmcastil> xrr: i would advise you to install it in $HOME
[21:49] <maxownz> Sinister: yes
[21:49] <MrPink_> Hey does someone have any idea how I could get the MSI Mega SKY MS-5580 DVBT Stick under Ubuntu 7.10 ? Anyone know of driver resources for Linux ?
[21:49] <simps> HighNo, i entered it into the vnc exe place
[21:50] <gmcastil> xrr: that way if you want to remove it, you can just manually delete it
[21:50] <speedhunt3r> simps: something to do with updates? some other ppl I know also have similiar problems.
[21:50] <HighNo> simps: but when did you enter 5900 there? You said you entered that instead of 5900?
[21:50] <Sinister> what do i use ?
[21:50] <xrr> ok :-) great, thanks again
[21:50] <gmcastil> xrr: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-Building-HOWTO.html is a good place to start with learning how linux software _ought_ to work
[21:50] <maxownz> google for avi to mpg converter
[21:50] <maxownz> i think ffmpeg will do it but don't quote me on that
[21:50] <simps> HighNo, yea i entered the localip
[21:51] <crackhead_25_> SleepingSloth: wtf... check this out.. this is exactly the cause.. (do a find "945" and read that bullet point): http://www.ross154.net/?p=38
[21:51] <nagyv> how can I send a file from my phone to my laptop using bluetooth?
[21:51] <xrr> ok, i will check it out
[21:51] <xrr> again, thank you
[21:51] <maxownz> nagyv: pair them, open something like the bluetooth manager, and browse files
[21:51] <HighNo> simps: so you get an unencrypted connection if you enter the ubuntu-box's ip:5901 ?
[21:51] <bad_cables> is it possible to specifty a static addy with netmanager?
[21:51] <gmcastil> Can someone explain how to configure services from the command line? Do I need to manually make symlinks in /etc/rc.? or is there an automated way to do it?
[21:52] <maxownz> bad_cables: yes, do a manual configuration
[21:52] <speedhunt3r> simps: anyway, thanks for your help =)
[21:52] <Emil> hi all
[21:52] <maxownz> hey Emil
[21:52] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_, hmm. that sounds a bit ominous
[21:52] <Emil> i am having a little bit of problem here
[21:52] <Emil> trying to install java for firefox
[21:52] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_,  there is bound to be a solution though
[21:52] <Emil> it's giving me trouble
[21:52] <bad_cables> maxownz: but when i do that it asks for an SSID and it might think that i am trying to broadcast... i just want to connect to my router with the same IP every time
[21:52] <crackhead_25_> SleepingSloth: effing v bios hacks it seems.. but i dont know what?? he doesnt describe
[21:53] <Slart> Emil: 32-bit or 64-bit?
[21:53] <Emil> 32 bit
[21:53] <Emil> ubuntu 7.10
[21:53] <jchstevens> Please can anyone advise on an error I get when trying to upgrade from gutsy to feisty?
[21:53] <gmcastil> Emil: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin
[21:53] <Slart> Emil: the normal packages don't work?
[21:53] <Slart> !java
[21:53] <ubotu> To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy)
[21:53] <nagyv> maxownz: how can I do that? if I click on browse in the applet menu, then I get an error message: obex://[00:12:ee:36:b4:fa] invalid address

[21:53] <sanjivv> hi..
[21:53] <simps> HighNo, i get "connection refused" when i try localip:5901
[21:53] <sanjivv> i had a question some ubuntu expert will have to answer..
[21:53] <gmcastil> Anyone have some advice on getting fetchmail to run at startup?  I've got my .fetchmailrc setup correctly, but i can't seem to get fetchmail to start as a service
[21:54] <MrPink_> anyone any idea how to get the DVB T MSI 5580 running under Ubuntu ?
[21:54]  * lorogon RadioGNU - http://cnsl.org.ve:8000/radiotron
[21:54] <maxownz> bad_cables: when it asks for a SSID i think it means the network you want to connect to like "yourNetwork"
[21:54] <sanjivv> can someone help?
[21:54] <sanjivv> HAL not starting up at boot.. can somebody help..?
[21:54] <gmcastil> bad_cables: SSID is the name of your network
[21:54] <speedhunt3r> Emil: try googling ff32-3in1 it's a script helps u install firefox with plugins and all.
[21:54] <M-Nagato> sanjivv, ask the question first and then wait for a response
[21:55] <HighNo> simps: to be honest - I am totally lost. I try to reconstruct what you are doing when but just when I think I catch up it's all gone again. What do you mean by localip?
[21:55] <Emil> i am trying what gmcastil told me
[21:55] <Emil> it's installing now
[21:55] <sanjivv> network manager also shows that the system is connected to AC power.. but it is running on a battery.. im running a DELL Inspiron 1501 notebook..
[21:55] <simps> HighNo, the ubuntu's ip
[21:55] <xrr> gmcastil: When trying to use config, i get this error: No 'cfg' found in /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipwraw.
[21:55] <audifahrer> Hello
[21:55] <Emil> so how is 8.04 alpha 4 has anyone tried it ?
[21:56] <speedhunt3r> HighNo: local ip is the IP of your computer.
[21:56] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_,  i've found a thread with a couple of solutions - neither very elegant, but nevertheless.... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=110185
[21:56] <M-Nagato> Emil, i haven't tried alpha 4, but alpha 3 was quite different
[21:56] <M-Nagato> and in a bad way
[21:56] <nagyv> Emil: it's alpha :)
[21:56] <m1r> hi
[21:56] <M-Nagato> they broke support for my wireless card :(
[21:56] <audifahrer> I search libmagic.so and magic.h in Ubuntu. On Gentoo it's in the "file" package. Any ideas where it's in Ubuntu?
[21:56] <HighNo> simps: alright - but earlier you said it worked if you changed it from 5900 to 5901 - so what exactly did you enter when anything worked
[21:56] <RyanPrior> My USB subsystem keeps dying. Is there some way I can figure out why, and how to prevent it?
[21:56] <gmcastil> xrr: what command did you try to run?
[21:56] <HighNo> speedhunt3r: I suppose you mean "localhost" not "localip"?
[21:56] <xrr> ./config
[21:57] <RyanPrior> I am trying to copy a large file to my USB hard drive and my USB keeps dying and killing the operation halfway through.
[21:57] <gmcastil> xrr: you didn't read the README or INSTALL files, did you
[21:57] <Pichu0102> Oh man, I think I messed up a command so badly, I'm pretty sure this computer is about to die.
[21:57] <xrr> yes, I have..
[21:57] <Emil> M-Nagato:  when will final release come ?? april ?
[21:57] <simps> HighNo, i can do ubuntuip just by itself, localhost:0, localhost:5900
[21:57] <sanjivv> i have a problem on my Dell Inspiron 1501 Notebook.. it says that hal failed to start.. but then.. hal is actually running.. and moreover.. the network manager in gnome shows that the system is running on AC power without a batter.. however.. when i fire up a terminal and restart hal.. it shows that the battery is present and it is charging.. i have been facing this problem for a little over 25 days now.. can someone help?
[21:57] <M-Nagato> Emil, i think that's when it's dated to come out
[21:57] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_,  also- have you tried 915resolution?
[21:57] <M-Nagato> you'd be better of looking on the website or wiki, though
[21:57] <gmcastil> xrr: config deals with openssl library configuration - configure is a script in the top of the source tree
[21:57] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_,  i think i've done all i can though- it's going to be fiddling at your end from here on in...
[21:58] <gmcastil> xrr: ./configure --help
[21:58] <HighNo> simps: but localhost:0 and localhost:5900 will give you a connection to the windows machine, right?
[21:58] <xrr> oh, ok
[21:58] <gmcastil> xrr: that will show you all the configuration options that are available to you
[21:58] <sanjivv> i have a problem on my Dell Inspiron 1501 Notebook.. it says that hal failed to start.. but then.. hal is actually running.. and moreover.. the network manager in gnome shows that the system is running on AC power without a batter.. however.. when i fire up a terminal and restart hal.. it shows that the battery is present and it is charging.. i have been facing this problem for a little over 25 days now.. can someone help?
[21:58] <speedhunt3r> HighNo: err.. yeah local host is that address that's like <IP_ADDRESS> local IP is 192.168.1.x usually..
[21:58] <simps> HighNo, when i have ssh connected, they connect me to the ubuntu
[21:58] <Pichu0102> "rsync -e ssh -varuzP --delete /home/pichu0102/ kids-laptop.local:/media/disk/pichu0102" Is the command I used in the terminal to test things out. What I didn't realize was that I was still logged into kids-laptop.local via instead of the computer I'm currently on, pichu0102-laptop2.
[21:58] <th0r> simps you trying to vnc through a tunnel?
[21:58] <jesse__> bad_cables is ghosted... as was my old DHCP addy of .....103
[21:59] <xrr> bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
[21:59] <HighNo> simps: ok - you are already using the tunnel then
[21:59] <Pichu0102> A bunch of stuff got deleted, and I'm assuming pichu0102-laptop2 has very little time left to live?
[21:59] <gmcastil> Can someone explain how to instruct fetchmail to run in daemon mode at startup please?
[21:59] <jesse__> i had to use .....10 to get the manual config to work
[21:59] <gmcastil> xrr: what directory are you in?
[21:59] <simps> th0r, yes
[21:59] <simps> HighNo, yes
[21:59] <xrr> where the files are unpacked
[21:59] <digital00> does anyone know how to add the "Headphone Jack Sense" option to the alsa volume?
[21:59] <sanjivv> hal not running at startup.. can somebody help??
[21:59] <HighNo> simps: but you have probably set it up incorrectly, you most likely entered "5900" in the "Source Port" field in putty's settings
[21:59] <nagyv> gmcastil: a cron won't work?
[21:59] <crackhead_25_> SleepingSloth: where can i find 915resolution???
[21:59] <crackhead_25_> i just tried to find it in the synaptic search.. but it didnt find it?/
[21:59] <gmcastil> xrr: you'll need to untar the source tarball, then cd into the top of the source tree, then run the configure script
[22:00] <B-rabbit> i am using feasty, and i want to install the adobe reader browser plugin...to view .pdf files from within the browser...i got a script which will allow me to install the plugin...but in the README file it says to... Run the script from the prompt as:

[22:00] <B-rabbit>   $ ./install_browser_plugin ...so i have to put the install path manually...my Q is what is the install path?
[22:00] <sanjivv> hal not running at startup.. can somebody help??
[22:00] <simps> HighNo, lol yeah :x what should i have put?
[22:00] <sanjivv> hal not running at startup.. can somebody help??
[22:00] <th0r> simps start vnc on the server with 'vncserver :1'. Start ssh on the client with 'ssh -L 1000:localhost:5901', then start the viewer on the client with 'vncviewer localhost:1'

[22:00] <gmcastil> nagyv: there is a fetchmail script in /etc/init.d
[22:00] <speedhunt3r> If this is off-topic I apologize but has anyone tried fedora 8? any comments on that?
[22:00] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_, you should just be able to apt-get it
[22:00] <th0r> simps oops.....just a sec
[22:00] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_,  915resolution - all one word
[22:00] <Leg0z> whats up lunix ppls
[22:00] <M-Nagato> B-rabbit, what browser? firefox?
[22:01] <Leg0z> can someone help me with a samba question?
[22:01] <HighNo> simps: args -whoohoo, I chose another port because there could have been another vnc server running on the windows machine
[22:01] <B-rabbit> yer
[22:01] <ArionH> hi
[22:01] <SleepingSloth> Leg0z, just ask...
[22:01] <Leg0z> k
[22:01] <M-Nagato> i think it's /usr/lib/firefox by default
[22:01] <th0r> start ssh with ssh -L 5901:localhost:5901....sorry
[22:01] <nagyv> B-rabbit: I think the Medibuntu repository has acrobat reader, and plugin. You can install easily by adding it to your package sources.
[22:01] <simps> HighNo, 5910 source port, localhost:5900 destination?
[22:01] <HighNo> th0r: he will probably not do that - because he is on the windows side of the game!
[22:01] <HighNo> simps: right
[22:01] <bad_cables> this chan is the bomb,,, thanks again
[22:01] <gmcastil> nagyv: cron isn't really what i'm looking for - i want fetchmail to run as a daemon when init starts a certain run level
[22:01] <simps> th0r, i'm using PuTTY :P
[22:01] <HighNo> simps: that way your tunnel never interferes with a local vnc server
[22:02] <crackhead_25_> SleepingSloth: can't find it.. ?? ?
[22:02] <th0r> simps....5901 on both local and remote
[22:02] <Leg0z> I set up a samba server on this machine... everything is all good... but for some reason even though ive set samba for no authentication... on my windows machines its still prompting for a username and password when trying to connect to the share
[22:02] <HighNo> th0r: it is workin already!
[22:02] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_,  what do you get if you type sudo apt-cache search 915resolution ?
[22:02] <xrr> gmcastil. I am in the directory where i untar'ed the files. Where the INSTALL and README files are
[22:02] <Leg0z> something with the fstab maybe???
[22:02] <sanjivv> hal not running at startup.. can somebody help??
[22:02] <nagyv> gmcastil: then symlink it in the proper rcX.d directory
[22:02] <sanjivv> hal not running at startup.. can somebody help??
[22:02] <th0r> HighNo ok...but using 5900 will cause problems later
[22:02] <gilda> Leg0z, try setting the username to guest and passwd to blank for windows xp machines
[22:02] <HighNo> th0r: no, it doesn't
[22:02] <crackhead_25_> SleepingSloth: nothing
[22:02] <speedhunt3r> LegOz: just set a blank smbpassword like just hit the [enter] key twice for every user that wants to log on to your computer.
[22:03] <gilda> in samba
[22:03] <simps> HighNo, now i get the error with both 5901 and 5900
[22:03] <Leg0z> see thats the thing... I cant have it prompting to connect as this is going in a small office
[22:03] <gmcastil> does anyone use fetchmail under ubuntu?
[22:03] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_,  you dont have the same sources.list as i do then. have you got the universe and multiverse enabled in your software sources?
[22:03] <HighNo> th0r: it is the setup he want's to use - he has an ubuntu box which an already running session and a running vnc server on port 5900 giving him access to that session - he wnats to connect to that machine via an ssh tunnel from a windows machine
[22:04] <HighNo> simps: arrrrgs, what exactly did you change?
[22:04] <th0r> HighNo ok
[22:04] <gilda> ya Leg0z set the username required to guest and the password to blank for in samba - xp uses this as the hidden user and pass to connect to windows to windows default shares
[22:04] <crackhead_25_> SleepingSloth: where do i do that? i dont know
[22:04] <scott25> can someone help me with installing it keeps saying "The ext3 file system creation in partition #1 of IDE1 master (hda) failed" when it starts to install
[22:04] <gilda> so it shouldnt prompt at that point
[22:04] <speedhunt3r> do you guys type out everyone's name you're responding to so that it's highlighted in red or is there a shortcut way ?
[22:04] <gmcastil> speedhunt3r: tab completeion
[22:04] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_, system>administration>software sources
[22:04] <gilda> speedhunt3r, start typing the user name hit tab
[22:04] <nagyv> speedhunt3r: start typing then hit TAB
[22:04] <simps> HighNo, well i had 5901 source, 5901 destination and 5900 source 5900 destination both there, i got rid of both and added 5910 source, 5900 destination
[22:04] <HighNo> simps: because I never even said anything about "5901" -
[22:05] <Leg0z> ill try that
[22:05] <speedhunt3r> ooooh thanks.
[22:05] <gmcastil> speedhunt3r: most linux apps support tab completion of some sort - it's probably one of the most efficient things in the OS
[22:05] <Emil> thanks for the help
[22:05] <HighNo> simps: remove anything that relates to 5901
[22:05] <Emil> I am off to sleep
[22:05] <gmcastil> speedhunt3r: what irc client are you usgin?
[22:05] <simps> HighNo, kk done
[22:05] <speedhunt3r> gmcastil: Xchat
[22:05] <HighNo> simps: all it should have is one tunnel entry reading "L5910:localhost:5900"
[22:05] <gmcastil> speedhunt3r: xchat seems to be the most popular...i use emacs, but thats probably not something you want to try with
[22:05] <PriceChild> !away > Emil-ZzZzZzZ
[22:05] <crackhead_25_> SleepingSloth: they're all enabled
[22:06] <gmcastil> anyone using fetchmail?
[22:06] <simps> HighNo, yup
[22:06] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_,  915resolution is in the universe
[22:06] <HighNo> simps: then you should be able to enter "localhost:10" in the vncviewer.exe server entry box and there you go - encrypted!
[22:06] <joanki> what is the best pdf viewer to use?
[22:06] <jetscreamer> !info xpdf
[22:06] <ubotu> xpdf (source: xpdf): Portable Document Format (PDF) suite. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.02-1.2ubuntu1.1 (gutsy), package size 1 kB, installed size 36 kB
[22:06] <HighNo> simps: whoohooo
[22:06] <joanki> xpf thx
[22:06] <joanki> xpdf i mean
[22:06] <Emil-ZzZzZzZ> !away
[22:06] <ubotu> You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair to new users.  (Please set your preferred nick in your client's settings instead.)  The same goes for using noisy away messages; use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently.  See also «/msg ubotu Guidelines»
[22:06] <jetscreamer> only one i've seen you can copy/paste from .pdf
[22:07] <crackhead_25_> SleepingSloth: it's not showing??
[22:07] <xania_29> irc.gr
[22:07] <scott25> can someone help me with installing... i cant create partitions
[22:07] <HighNo> simps: I now have to learn for my exam tomorrow. Bye!
[22:07] <Emil> !away going to sleep
[22:07] <simps> HighNo, i can connect, but at the top it still says no encryption when i type in the password
[22:07]  * gmcastil is shocked that no one uses fetchmail...
[22:07] <simps> :S
[22:07] <assasukasse> hi everyone, my shutdown, reboot, sleep and such icons disappeared, how can i reenable them?
[22:07] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_,  could try  sudo apt-get update
[22:07] <ompaul> joanki, evince seems to be more flexable
[22:07] <speedhunt3r> anyone tried making and testing your own custom live-cd ? I tried it..it kept asking me a user name and password when I tried to double click install. It booted successfully though...
[22:07] <ompaul> joanki, evince is installed by default
[22:07] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_,  but if the universe is enabled, i dont know why you cant see it
[22:08]  * Ashfire908 wonders when he will get banned for reconnecting a bunch of times when his internet keeps disconnecting
[22:08] <HighNo> simps:  that is correct, because vnc does not use its own encryption - but the vnc packets are all stuffed into the ssh session which encrypts the packets then
[22:08] <ompaul> Ashfire908, if you want - now
[22:08] <joanki> ompaul thx
[22:08] <simps> HighNo, oh lmao
[22:08] <Ashfire908> ompaul, not asking for one lol
[22:09] <HighNo> simps: if you take a sniffer like wireshark or tcpdump you will see only ssh traffic on the line
[22:09] <crackhead_25_> SleepingSloth: ok, found it
[22:09] <simps> HighNo, thanks :D
[22:09] <HighNo> simps: you're welcome.
[22:09] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_,  then just sudao apt-get install 915resolution
[22:09] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_,  *sudo
[22:10] <ryan8403> i'm trying to connect to a SILC network with pidgin on 7.10 but i don't have that option. any ideas? i have the SILC toolkit
[22:10] <crackhead_25_> SleepingSloth: i installed it.. now what? you know?
[22:11] <Ashfire908> ?
[22:11] <ScreaminIke> emmy. dinner is not til 5:30 have about 20 mins. i'll see if i can help you out. let me look up that dpkg command.
[22:11] <emily> ok, i have a problem, i just got a new motherboard and it is using a different video card and ubuntu isnt likeing it.  when i boot up it tells me to select a video card and i do but then after reboot it tells me to do it again, every time.. help pls
[22:12] <emily> ok thx
[22:12] <scott25> can someone help me with installing it keeps saying "The ext3 file system creation in partition #1 of IDE1 master (hda) failed" when it starts to install
[22:12] <ScreaminIke> emily: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[22:12] <XeNix> Hello
[22:13] <lamalex> Guys I'm having a problem, my alt-tab stopped working
[22:13] <XeNix> can we install ubuntu slackware and windows XP on 3 boot ?
[22:13] <emily> k hold on
[22:13] <ScreaminIke> lamalex your alt or your tab?
[22:13] <lamalex> XeNix: yes
[22:13] <compuwiz> Quick question, do I need to tell squid what network adapter to use? currently it says Network is unreachable
[22:13] <Slart> XeNix: sure
[22:13] <lamalex> ScreaminIke: I guess what I mean is my alt-tab window switcher unbound
[22:13] <lamalex> and I can't find how to rebind it
[22:13] <liluggi> salve
[22:13] <ScreaminIke> ;) using compiz?
[22:13] <Slart> !ccsm
[22:13] <lamalex> couldn't findd it in keyboard shortcuts
[22:13] <ubotu> To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion
[22:14] <lamalex> ScreaminIke: no
[22:14] <emily> screamin, do it again.. i lost it
[22:14] <Slart> oh.. nevermind the ccsm thingy
[22:14] <ScreaminIke> emily: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[22:15] <emily> reconfigure must be run as root
[22:15] <emily> ?
[22:15] <lamalex> Slart: yeah, I know about CCSM. I'm fairly well versed in linux, I'm a sysadmin and long time user. I just can't seem to find where this is bound
[22:15] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_, basically, no- but i think you need to run 915resolution -l
[22:15] <ScreaminIke> emily: alt+(number) switches between CHAT windows in irssi. i sent you a private message. check it (start hitting alt+1, alt+2, alt+3 until you get to it
[22:15] <ScreaminIke> )
[22:15] <Slart> lamalex: well.. if you're not using compiz.. I have no idea.. it's not somewhere deep down in gconf?
[22:15] <XeNix> i have any shit an partition for acer garatie :s
[22:16] <gmcastil> what determines where mail is stored on Ubuntu?
[22:16] <XeNix> how i can add an partition for windows XP i have already 4 one
[22:16] <lamalex> Slart: it's probably somewhere in gconf, but gconf is such I mess I was hoping someone in here would be able to point me in a good direction
[22:16] <emily> found it ike
[22:16] <Slart> gmcastil: what application you're using to store the mail I guess
[22:16] <ScreaminIke> ok... just talk with me there to reduce the room traffic
[22:16] <scott25> i keep getting i/o errors when i boot the livecd and i can't create partitions when i install...
[22:17] <Slart> lamalex: mm.. a mess indeed... I would be more curious as to why it has suddenly become unbound
[22:17] <lamalex> Slart: I think it had to do with compiz. I was using compiz, but then I switched to the free radeon driver which doesn't support 3d on my card
[22:17] <howlingmadhowie> scott25: io-errors sounds like there's something wrong with the cd
[22:18] <crackhead_25_> SleepingSloth: once you do that, what do you do?
[22:18] <crackhead_25_> restart X?
[22:18] <Slart> gmcastil: you might find something useful here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard
[22:18] <mjw--> scott25: or with the CD drive
[22:18] <ScreaminIke> emily: did you run that command using sudo?
[22:18] <lamalex> but compiz isn't running currently, so I think compiz unbound it from metacity
[22:18] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_, i believe so. well, reboot is probably best
[22:18] <mouseboyx> Im having a problem with if statements, and strings http://pastebin.com/m79427549 This should return true based on the string in the file, but it is always false.
[22:18] <gmcastil> Slart: i'm planning on using fetchmail to get it from a pop server
[22:18] <scott25> i have also tried other livecds and got the same i/o errors
[22:18] <Slart> lamalex: hmm.. compiz might change that.. I think it has it's own shortcut key handler thingy
[22:18] <lamalex> probably something it does to avoid conflicts, I can't really say
[22:19] <crackhead_25_> SleepingSloth: bam!!! i think it worked
[22:19] <crackhead_25_> restart x worked..
[22:19] <gmcastil> Slart: is mail typically brought to /var/spool or $HOME/mail ?
[22:19] <mjw--> scott25: could be a drive or controller problem then. by other livecds you mean non ubuntu live cds?
[22:19] <emily> no
[22:19] <Slart> gmcastil: /var/mail seems to be one location
[22:19] <emily> cause im special
[22:19] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_, we bumbled through, eh?
[22:19] <crackhead_25_> SleepingSloth: somethin like that haha
[22:19] <ScreaminIke> emily, move over to the private messaging.
[22:19] <crackhead_25_> thank you much
[22:19] <bad_cables> how do i take the CD out of the sources list?
[22:19] <Slart> gmcastil: isn't /var/spool for unprocessed mail?
[22:19] <bad_cables> i am about to take the CDrom out of this box
[22:19] <scott25> i tried a gentoo livecd
[22:19] <ompaul> !offtopic
[22:19] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[22:19] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_,  no worries :)
[22:20] <crackhead_25_> SleepingSloth: so basically.. what was that xorg command we did?
[22:20] <crackhead_25_> etc x11 xorg conf.. i swithced to i810.. then got in and installed 915resolution
[22:20] <crackhead_25_> hm..
[22:20] <WeedGrinch> I can make it so i do alt+scroll for opacity, but how do i make them like that by default?
[22:20] <mjw--> scott25: you might have a drive or motherboard problem then.
[22:20] <gmcastil> Slart: i think thats what i meant...unprocessed mail (from fetchmail) goes to /var and then the MUA reads it and moves it to $HOME/mail ?
[22:20] <crackhead_25_> i bet that would work on a bunch of other distros that were having the same problem..
[22:20] <bad_cables> this box does not have a CDrom normally, installing ubuntu with a CDrom was a hardware hack, now i am about to put the lid back on and seal the deal but if i install something i dont want it to ask for the CDrom again
[22:20] <Slart> gmcastil: sounds good to me.. but I wouldn't know.. I've never set up a mail-system on linux
[22:20] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_, yeah - you changed /etc/X11/xorg.conf's driver from 'intel' to 'i810'
[22:21] <mjw--> bad_cables: by default ubuntu will download stuff from the internet, not ask for a CD after the initial installation.
[22:21] <crackhead_25_> yup
[22:21] <SleepingSloth> crackhead_25_, well, if you are so inclined, you could document your problem and solution.
[22:21] <bad_cables> it installed java and GLAME from the CD
[22:21] <bad_cables> it asked me for the CD
[22:21] <crackhead_25_> i did
[22:21] <crackhead_25_> it should be in the wiki
[22:21] <crackhead_25_> pm me?
[22:22] <Lettuc3> Slart i had a look at lyx. has problems rendering eps files.
[22:22] <mjw--> bad_cables: interesting...after the initial install, i was never asked for the CD again, and i installed java.
[22:22] <bad_cables> mjw: this is xubuntu 7.10
[22:22] <Slart> Lettuc3: huh? that sounds very weird.. although I've never tried it.. hang on.. I'll fire it up
[22:22] <ScreaminIke> emmy... are you reading the pm's i'm sending you?
[22:23] <bad_cables> mjw: i dont see anything in /etc/apt/sources.list that sais CDrom
[22:23] <Lettuc3> Slart from the user guide, actually, and whatnot other documents its got.
[22:23] <Lettuc3> Slart im not very used to latex, sounds interesting, though, a bit alien. how would you change fonts for example? things like that...
[22:24] <Leg0z> quick question.... if i wanted to set up a samba public folder mirror between two machines... could anyone recommend a good app?
[22:24] <bad_cables> mjw: nevermind. i found it... it was uncommented right before the line where it was commented
[22:24] <Slart> Lettuc3: Latex is indeed different from Word/oOO.. you focus more on the text than the layout
[22:24] <mjw--> bad_cables: good..mystery solved :)
[22:24] <Lettuc3> Slart and it always gives you something that looks right?
[22:25] <bad_cables> it just helps to come in here and rant about all my hangups... :)
[22:25] <Slart> Lettuc3: it's more like html... but google for latex tutorials.. there are many out there
[22:25] <Dr_willis> Latex is a whole different universe then Word/ooo :)
[22:25] <lamalex> got it!
[22:25] <Slart> Lettuc3: indeed.. you specify what kind of document you want.. it's in the document, settings menu
[22:25] <lamalex> burried deep inside gconf :)
[22:25] <Lettuc3> Slart ah, hadn't thought of tutorials. found that eps stuff?
[22:26] <Slart> Lettuc3: but latex is a little bit ot here.. let's not disturb those who sleep =)
[22:26] <bad_cables> GO GIANTS
[22:26] <Dr_willis> Theres dozens of books written on latex. ;) and dozens of books written with latex.
[22:26] <Slart> Lettuc3: just have to find a eps-file first =)
[22:26] <Lettuc3> Slart where can i talk to you about that? ubuntu-offtopic?
[22:26] <Slart> Lettuc3: sure
[22:26] <Lettuc3> just for a couple of minutes, i need to hit the sack. 0230 here... hehe.

[22:36] <Omar-C> yo guys I need some help any one?
[22:36] <Dr_willis> wht1,  a xp  install cd. shouldent need a password to write the mbr. or at least I dont think so - check the #windows channel.
[22:37] <manduski> howlingmadhowie, the file has "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>"
[22:37] <compuwiz> im having a similar problem
[22:37] <howlingmadhowie> manduski: so "route" should give a default route of <IP_ADDRESS>

[22:40] <Hammer89> theLichKing: I'm using a laptop... and I don't have any dedicated screen brightness buttons... minus the fn+F6-F7 keys... which aren;t working
[22:40] <Omar-C> but I can't use apt-get because I cant connect to the internet
[22:40] <mjw--> Omar-C: you need to modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf to use the correct Driver
[22:40] <WGGMk> Anyone else tried using using a different Usplash theme in Gutsy Gibbon amd64?? Ive tried using 2 different theme's now that I have confirmed to work in 7.04 but refuse to operate correctly in 7.10
[22:40] <Dr_willis> Always watching.. always waiting... planing, plotting...  :P
[22:40] <Pelo> Omar-C, for removing apt-get will not need the net

[22:40] <WGGMk> Till the right time, then JUDO CHOPPPP
[22:40] <lollo> where's the launcher of vlc? i've tried to look in .vlc in the home but there's not ! ! !
[22:41] <Omar-C>  oh ok Im kinda new to Linux
[22:41] <lollo> hi Dr_willis  !!!!!
[22:41] <Dr_willis> lollo,  .vlc would be its config files/settings
[22:41] <Pelo> Omar-C,  we've all been there
[22:41] <manduski> howlingmadhowie, pinging the router is not working. on ifconfig i get the inet addr:<IP_ADDRESS> on wlan0. also, the network manager on the top right hand side of the screen it says i'm connected
[22:41] <WGGMk> Then your first Judo Chop is free Omar, whats the trouble??
[22:41] <Dr_willis> it should be in the menus, or just type vlc  in a terminal lollo
[22:41] <manduski> howlingmadhowie, idk, it's weird
[22:41] <howlingmadhowie> manduski: if ping doesn't work, i'm wondering if you have some sort of encryption
[22:41] <Odd-rationale> lollo: Try looking in the /usr/share/applications directory
[22:41] <Omar-C> ok Im going to try the apt-get remove method brb
[22:42] <manduski> howlingmadhowie, how do i check that?
[22:42] <Hammer89> anyone know a way to adjust screen brightness from the gui?
[22:42]  * Pelo got some great help from someone in here yesterday throught email, and he nearly has his plotter problem resolved,  all that is left is a bit for format tweaking, but that is app side
[22:42] <howlingmadhowie> manduski: did you have to enter a passphrase of number?
[22:42] <Pelo> Hammer89, man gamma
[22:42] <soundray> Hammer89: that's hardware dependent
[22:42] <manduski> howlinghowie, no i did not

[22:43] <Hammer89> Odd-rationale: there was nothing there
[22:43] <manduski> howlingmadhowie, i just connected through the drop down menu of the network manager on the right top hand side of the screen
[22:43] <Odd-rationale> Hammer89: Do you have a battery applet?
[22:43] <lollo> Dr_willis, i needed the route, i've found it in /usr..... THX !
[22:43] <Hammer89> Odd-rationale: yeah
[22:43] <Odd-rationale> Hammer89: It's not in the settings there?
[22:43] <howlingmadhowie> manduski: strange. if you look in the drop-down menu for the router, does the net name have a small shield next to it?
[22:44] <Hammer89> Odd-rationale: nope
[22:44] <Omar-C> hey
[22:44] <manduski> howlingmadhowie, now, if i connect physically through ethernet i do get internet, but otherwiese i don't.

[22:45] <Odd-rationale> Hammer89: Hmm. I remember it being there...
[22:45] <filthpig> why does flash eat all my ram in firefox?
[22:45] <manduski> howlinghowie, I've restarted since
[22:45] <WGGMk> Pelo: these are theme's that have worked in 7.04 but seem to be broke (or possible bug/issue) in 7.10
[22:45] <lollo> yes that word didn't come to my mind .. i'm italian :P
[22:45] <Pelo> !theme > WGGMk  therer are links in there that will tell you about every bit of eye candy in linux, usplash,  theme, boot screen etc ,  check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu

[22:46] <WGGMk> Pelo: highly appreciated, ill take a look at them

[22:46] <lollo> another thing ... does anyone of u use stardict ?

[22:47] <Omar-C> Ok I tried doing: sudo apt-get remove xserver-xgl, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[22:47] <Omar-C> then I get an error saying that xserver-xorg is not fully installed or broken
[22:47] <soundray> acehigh: your question doesn't make sense. Are you trying to translate a Linux device name (e.g. /dev/sda1) into a grub device name (e.g. (hd0,0))?
[22:47] <Omar-C> any idea?
[22:47] <LjL> Omar-C: why don't you lock your computer when you're not using it
[22:47] <Odd-rationale> Hammer89: OK. Well in that case, I really don't know what to do. Sorry. :(
[22:47] <Pelo> acehigh,  sda1 sould be hd0,0 , sda2 would be hd0,1 etc
[22:47] <Hammer89> Odd-rationale: okay
[22:47] <Omar-C> I do all the time
[22:48] <ompaul> so it was you then
[22:48] <manduski> howlinghowie, i'm still waiting to see if it connects, but instead of firefox telling me that it couldn't find the server, it would say "connection has timed out. The server amazon.com is taking to long to respond.
[22:48] <Pelo> Omar-C, sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg
[22:48] <manduski> howlinghowie, nope, still can't connect to the internet
[22:48] <Pelo> Omar-C, at this point consider a clean install of ubuntu
[22:48] <kunzy> i'm trying to install myth tv, and i do the ./configure and it says i need to install LAME mp3 stuff.  So i opened the synaptics? packet manager and installed them but i still get the error.  Any thoughts?
[22:49] <Omar-C> ok ill try this
[22:49] <acehigh> thank you
[22:49] <Pelo> kunzy, wnen compiling from source also add the -dev packages of the dependency required
[22:49] <LjL> Omar-C: i sent you an invite, please join the channel
[22:49] <manduski> howlinghowie, now the ip addr of wlan0 is <IP_ADDRESS>
[22:49] <cecko> hi guys can dont you know what is the difference between Intel quad duo and quad xeon ?
[22:49] <kunzy> Pelo, do you have an example?   (I'm still learning this stuff)
[22:50] <Pelo> cecko, try asking in #hardware
[22:50] <howlingmadhowie> manduski: that doesn't sound right
[22:50] <WGGMk> Pelo: none of those links gave me appropriate information for usplash
[22:50] <lollo> uhm any good dictionary for ubuntu ?
[22:50] <Omar-C> ok I tried doing apt-get install xserver-xorg, but Im not connected to the internet so it didn't download anything
[22:50] <manduski> howlinghowie, yeah i know. what's wlan0:ava ?
[22:50] <cecko> Pelo ok, thx
[22:50] <manduski> howlinghowie, what's the ava part?
[22:50] <Pelo> kunzy, you are in synatpci right ? search for the lame pacakge for exemple , you see the lame package , next to it you will see  lame-dev  install that one as well
[22:51] <howlingmadhowie> manduski: can you try configuring the connection manually?
[22:51] <sal002> Has anyone here tried installing latest swfdec on ubuntu 7.10?
[22:51] <kunzy> Pelo:  Could have sworn i did that, i will double check
[22:51] <iKap> is it bad to use the "sudo halt" or "sudo shutdown -h now" or "sudo reboot"? to shutdown/restart your machine?
[22:52] <soundray> iKap: no
[22:52] <Dr_willis> iKap,  Not that ive seen.
[22:52] <howlingmadhowie> iKap: it might be bad if you have an open document or something you haven't saved
[22:52] <Pelo> iKap, it is much better the flipping the power switch
[22:52] <LjL> iKap: it's not "bad", however GNOME/KDE applications will not necessarily be shutdown correctly, i.e. they won't ask you to save any unsaved files, and stuff like this (your session won't be saved either)
[22:52] <lollo> does anyone know a good english translator ?
[22:52] <manduski> howlingmadhowie, what do you mean by manually?
[22:53] <Pelo> lollo,  check in add remove or google
[22:53] <howlingmadhowie> manduski: stuff like "sudo iwconfig essid="ESSID_NAME"
[22:53] <iKap> LjL, Pelo Dr_willis soundray howlingmadhowie but do those commands do a PROPER shut down? if not.. is there a command to do a "proper shutdown"?
[22:53] <soundray> lollo: I'm good, but I get paid by the line
[22:53] <soundray> iKap: it doesn't get any more proper
[22:54] <Pelo> iKap, it will shut down properly, it just won'T save documents that are opened before closing the app
[22:54] <simps> Does anyone know a good script/plugin for xchat that shows current download speed and upload speed, total MBs downloaded and uploaded?
[22:54] <howlingmadhowie> iKap: at some stage these commands are called to shut the computer down. i tend to shut my computer down with "sudo init 0", but i think that and "halt" are the same
[22:54] <Pelo> iKap, no shutdown command will
[22:54] <iKap> soundray, does it do same kind of shutdown that the GUI would do, if i were to hit the red power switch and select shutdown? i just want to make sure.
[22:54] <fella12> does anyone know how to log into this room using kopete? having trouble setting it up
[22:54] <Dr_willis> iKap,  those are the only commands i know of to do a shutdown. :) well theres  the obscure init 6, type commands.. but those are bout the same
[22:54] <kunzy> Pelo:  Well, i got all but that one, figures.    Ok, so i just did the ./configure and at the end it says ./configure: 3510: qmake: not found
[22:54] <Pelo> simps, there is a little thingy you can have in the bottom of your xchat windows, check under display in the menu
[22:54] <soundray> iKap: yes, it's the same
[22:54] <different_realit> hi... i got linksys wag200g and i want to use it with my ubuntu 7.10... I was told that there is a procedure that needs to be done... Is there some place with detailed information from beginning to end on how to do this ?
[22:55] <Pelo> kunzy, that's a new one to me
[22:55] <iKap> soundray, okay because i hate the GUI way of shutting down dont know why but i just do lol, also so stick with "sudo halt" then?
[22:55] <phuz> how do I do VNC through SSH with the client machine being Windows?
[22:55] <howlingmadhowie> iKap: all linux has to do to shut down cleanly is "sync", then you can theoretically pull the chord.
[22:55] <Pelo> !wifi | different_realit
[22:55] <ubotu> different_realit: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[22:55] <Buiss> sudo halt will do
[22:55] <soundray> iKap: I can't see a problem with that, other than that you might lose any open documents
[22:55] <mjw--> iKap: halt may not sync drives?? Might not be a good thing to use independently...of course this is circa 1996 knowledge talking :P
[22:55] <iKap> soundray well i would close and save everything then shut down.
[22:55] <iKap> lol
[22:55] <kunzy> hmm, crud.   I guess i will have to play a bit with it
[22:56] <soundray> mjw--: halt does sync drives (ikap)
[22:56] <mjw--> mjw--: that's good to know :)...way back when I think it didn't ;)
[22:56] <Pelo> kunzy, consider doing a search in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org
[22:56] <fella12> does anyone know how to log into this room using kopete? having trouble setting it up
[22:56] <kunzy> i did earlier
[22:56] <iKap> i got one more problem.. my eth1(wireless) gives trouble shutting off, i need to do "ifconfig eth1 down" in order to be able to shut down, or i end up on a white on black screen that says terminating eth1.. and it stays tehre. then i have to keep power button pressed.
[22:56] <kunzy> oh wait, nm, that was a different search
[22:56] <kunzy> will do
[22:56] <simps> Pelo, not from xchat, just from my network devices in general
[22:57] <different_realit> Pelo i dont want to use wireless at the moment... just need to get the router to connect me :)
[22:57] <Pelo> kunzy, qmake search in the repos returns results about qt3 I would suggest you try installiing qt3-dev-tools
[22:57] <howlingmadhowie> iKap: that sounds like a driver bug. probably best to report it
[22:57] <isidoro1969> i d'ont speak englis
[22:57] <chuck> hi, i have a question, i just burned gutsy gibbon powerpc onto a disc, and booted it up, it opened up yaboot, i hit enter, and it shows like two lines of text then the screen goes blank and it hangs there
[22:57] <iKap> howlingmadhowie, im using restricted drivers for the wireless
[22:58] <Pelo> simps,  sudo apt-get install netspeed   it's a pannel applet , it will appear in add to pannel when you right cick a pannel
[22:58] <kunzy> Pelo:  K, thanks i will take a look into that.  but i found a page that almost talks like you can install it with the package manager.
[22:58] <lleoliveirabr> hi all, i'm usinf winvista OS on a notebook Sony Vaio
[22:58] <insanelyconfused> why wont ubuntu see my motokrazr cellphone?
[22:58] <Pelo> different_realit, my mistake I missread the question ,  it should connect automaticaly
[22:58] <lleoliveirabr> i would like yo install ubuntu but keep winvista
[22:58] <Undeadlord> Has anyone ever heard of wireless not working for a particular type or brand of wireless router? Other machines see the network and connect to it fine, and my ubuntu laptop will connect to the neighbors wireless fine, but not to my own :(
[22:58] <PriceChild> insanelyconfused, usb?
[22:58] <insanelyconfused> yeah
[22:58] <iKap> soundray, well im just looking to use a command that does a PROPER shutdown like the GUI shutdown button would. thats all.
[22:58] <Lokii-> lleoliveirabr try ##windows
[22:58] <ubuntuisloved> if i have an IMG file or ISO can i use DD to write it to my thumb drive?
[22:58] <lleoliveirabr> how to do this
[22:58] <soundray> iKap: for a workaround, put a script in /usr/local/bin that calls 'ifconfig eth0 down', then 'shutdown -h now' and use that to shutdown.
[22:58] <manduski> howlingmadhowie, i tried "sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid any" sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid default" (default being the actual name)
[22:59] <PriceChild> insanelyconfused, set it to disk mode rather than modem
[22:59] <chuck> anyone know my question?

[22:59] <manduski> howlinghowie, and still nothing
[22:59] <insanelyconfused> PriceChild how do i do that?
[22:59] <Lokii-> lleoliveirabr partition your drives or have a seperate hdd and install to there
[22:59] <kunzy> Pelo:   Are you sure that was meant for me?
[22:59] <Lokii-> will automatically detect that you have another os installed
[22:59] <PriceChild> insanelyconfused, its in the settings, connectivity
[22:59] <iKap> soundray then would eth0 turn back on when i power the comp back up?
[22:59] <Pelo> Undeadlord, several wifi are not yet supported becuse of driver copywrite restrictions,
[22:59] <PriceChild> insanelyconfused, on the phone
[22:59] <Lokii-> and will have options in the bootloader to load it

[23:00] <chuck> hi, i have a question, i just burned gutsy gibbon powerpc onto a disc, and booted it up, it opened up yaboot, i hit enter, and it shows like two lines of text then the screen goes blank and it hangs there

[23:00] <lleoliveirabr> just make a partition and install as standard
[23:00] <lleoliveirabr> ?
[23:00] <Lokii-> yes
[23:00] <kunzy> Pelo:  You told me to check my network connection   :P
[23:00] <soundray> iKap: sorry, I meant eth1 like in your example. Yes, booting will return everything to what it was.
[23:00] <Lokii-> it will detect and setup the bootloader for you
[23:00] <Pelo> kunzy, sorry , no not you
[23:00] <Undeadlord> Pelo: I have a belkin model router that I am using as an access point ... Ubuntu sees my network, but won't connect, even with no security settings turned on
[23:00] <iKap> soundray, can u you help me do that, since i am kind of a newb lol and not sure how to do what you just explained.
[23:00] <lleoliveirabr> great
[23:00] <kunzy> Pelo:  Had me lost for a sec.
[23:00] <chuck> hi, i have a question, i just burned gutsy gibbon powerpc onto a disc, and booted it up, it opened up yaboot, i hit enter, and it shows like two lines of text then the screen goes blank and it hangs there
[23:01] <Pelo> different_realit,  check in menyu > systm < ADMIN > network , check the setting of your wiered connection

[23:01] <lleoliveirabr> which file system
[23:01] <lleoliveirabr> ?
[23:01] <lleoliveirabr> the partition
[23:01] <insanelyconfused> PriceChild its a verizon phone and connections is not showing up under settings and tools
[23:01] <iKap> soundray, also.. would doing a GUI shutdown turn off eth1 as well? or would i have to turn off through terminal?
[23:01] <Pelo> Undeadlord, review the info ubotu sent you in private
[23:01] <chuck> hi, i have a question, i just burned gutsy gibbon powerpc onto a disc, and booted it up, it opened up yaboot, i hit enter, and it shows like two lines of text then the screen goes blank and it hangs there
[23:01] <PriceChild> insanelyconfused, it is there somewhere
[23:01] <manduski> howlinghowie, how do i go about doign that?
[23:01] <Lokii-> can be w/e or unpartitioned the installer can just format the partion or create it
[23:01] <PriceChild> insanelyconfused, consult the razr documentation if you can't find it
[23:01] <Lokii-> although i don't think it can resize partitions
[23:01] <lleoliveirabr> ha ok
[23:01] <Lokii-> so make sure you create one for the install
[23:02] <lleoliveirabr> thanks
[23:02] <chuck> wow does anyone know?
[23:02] <different_realit> Pelo i was told that i need to flash the firmware of the router... isnt that the case ?
[23:02] <lleoliveirabr> is it a good idea install server
[23:02] <Pelo> chuck, did you burn an image or did you just copy the iso to the cd ?
[23:02] <Undeadlord> Pelo: no private messges from anyone ... I will wait :)
[23:02] <chuck> Pelo: err
[23:02] <howlingmadhowie> manduski: "sudo dhclient eth1" or eth0 or whatever the device is called
[23:02] <soundray> iKap: 'gksudo gedit /usr/local/bin/myhalt' to edit the script. Three lines: first '#!/bin/bash', then 'ifconfig eth1 down', then 'shutdown -h now'. Save the file and 'sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/myhalt'. Then you can shutdown with 'sudo myhalt'
[23:02] <chuck> Pelo: i doubt yaboot would start if i just copied the iso to the cd
[23:02] <Pelo> differentreality, no idea I was just giving you a basic clue , incase you neede to setup static ip or somethjing like that

[23:04] <Lokii-> apt = a nice tool :)
[23:04] <lleoliveirabr> good
[23:04] <lleoliveirabr> good
[23:04] <iKap> soundray, is there a way to do this, so when i shut down using GUI button it will do the same?
[23:04] <Lokii-> there are over 80gb of repositories that are continuously maintained
[23:04]  * Pelo can tell when a movie is crappy,  this channel gets more attention then the flick  and the plot still makes sense
[23:04] <lleoliveirabr> lts supper, what this menas
[23:05] <lleoliveirabr> support
[23:05] <Lokii-> and you can j=use synaptics to apt to upgrade your system with tha pkg manager
[23:05] <aykutcan> s.a
[23:05] <soundray> chuck: perhaps try "live vga=771" (generic video mode, not sure if it'll work on ppc)
[23:05] <lleoliveirabr> which kind of support
[23:05] <lleoliveirabr> is payed
[23:05] <Pelo> !enter | lleoliveirabr
[23:05] <ubotu> lleoliveirabr: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[23:05] <soundray> iKap: I'm sure there is, but I don't know the location of the shutdown script that the gnome button runs
[23:06] <manduski> howlinghowie, i get wmaster0: unknown hardware address type 801....DHCPACK from <IP_ADDRESS>....bound to <IP_ADDRESS> -- renewal in 238932 seconds."  I'm new
[23:06] <DjViper> Gigamo: eeeek no :P
[23:06] <PythonRox> hey... apt-get remove will unninstall a program>
[23:06] <PythonRox> ?
[23:07] <DjViper> N0ob: ubuntu :)
[23:07] <soundray> gigamonk`: if you have a support question, just ask it.
[23:07] <Pelo> N0ob,  if you are new you will probably find ubuntu easier to get started with
[23:07] <DjViper> PythonRox: apt-get remove will
[23:07] <Undeadlord> Pelo: Thanks, I will do some more research :)
[23:07] <howlingmadhowie> N0ob: i think red hat costs something. ubuntu has a great community where you don't have to pay anything
 what answer are you waiting for in the ubuntu channel
[23:07] <kunzy> Pelo:  Hmm, the whole ./configure and make and make install was just spinning tires.  But i found a page that tells me to
[23:07] <kunzy> sudo apt-get update
[23:07] <kunzy> sudo apt-get install mythtv
[23:07] <kunzy> It seems to be working, just thought i would let you know
[23:07] <gigamonk`> Is something wrong if iwconfig shows an entry for wifi0 and ath0?
[23:07] <N0ob> I'm not waiting, people already answered so I'm summing up a new one
 red hat is now fedora which is free
[23:08] <N0ob> But it doesn't really matter which to get right?
[23:08] <Pelo> bernier, if I were in another channel and I were asked about a starter distro for newcommers I think I would still recommend ubuntu
[23:08] <nemilar> that's not true, bernier
[23:08] <gigamonk`> where the wifi0 says "no wireless extensions" and ath0 has a bunch of information.
[23:08] <sauvin> CentOS and Fedora both are free. RHEL, I believe, you pay for support.
[23:08] <N0ob> They are all linux and the same things?
 i believe only entreprise version of redhat exists
[23:08] <bernier> but i suppose he wants desktop version
[23:08] <Pelo> kunzy, apt always works,   packages in the repos are precompiled
[23:08] <Lokii-> LoL n0ob you shoulda expected only 1 answer from that question being here but actually yeah i have used redhat before and tbch i really don't like the distro at all. on a server nor on a desktop
[23:08] <mohbana> oh my god, wat a perfect install i just installed ubuntu on my laptop everything was quick and easy thanks guys
[23:08] <nemilar> bernier: yeah, RHEL is Redhat's product...but Redhat and Fedora are not the same
[23:09] <iKap> soundray, someone told me its located in /etc/acpi/
[23:09] <Pelo> mohbana, congradulation
[23:09] <sauvin> Yea, ubuntu installed //fast// on my laptop, and it runs more than reasonably quick.
[23:09] <kunzy> Pelo:  Sorry for the noobness, but can you expound on what the heck an apt, repos, and precompiled things are?  I am a windows dude walking into linux.
[23:09] <nemilar> N0ob: in my experience, Ubuntu is one of the friendliest newbie-friendly distros, but Fedora is a favorite of a lot of people, too
[23:09]  * Pelo realy hates how easy ubuntu is to install , no problems means he can't learn anything new
[23:10] <nemilar> Pelo: try LFS ;)
[23:10] <mohbana> Pelo, does it automatically connect to the wireless network everytime i sign in and do i need to put in my key in all the time?
[23:10] <soundray> iKap: I don't think that's correct
[23:10] <sauvin> Or gentoo :D
[23:10] <Manad> Hi. Can someone help me run encrypted DVDs? I am unable to run the install-css.sh script, it says "command not found"
[23:10] <N0ob> I got this ADSL modem thingie to connect to the internet, I'm too insufficient with my brain to install the D LINK thingie on my windows xp by my self so the ISP guy did it for me, how do I do it in Ubuntu, is there a way to transform the D-LINK set up disk into linux to install the modem drive and connect to the internet?
[23:10] <aykutcan> dnz_x: ne ayaksın sen :)
[23:10] <soundray> gigamonk`: I don't think there's anything wrong. Just go ahead and configure the ath0 interface.
[23:11] <aykutcan> sory everybody
[23:11] <nemilar> kunzy: APT is the software package manager.  In Windows, you download things from a lot of different sources, or you buy things off the shelf; in Linux, you use the package manager to add/remove pretty much all your programs.  The "repos" or repositories are the servers that hold all these software 'packages'
[23:11] <gigamonk`> soundray: so I've gone through System -> Addministration -> Network and set it up.
[23:11] <Dr_willis> Manad,  the full path to that script is   /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh   OR you can enable the medibuntu repo and install the tuff from there.
[23:11] <Dr_willis> !dvd | Manad
[23:11] <ubotu> Manad: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[23:11] <gigamonk`> I can ping the IP address I assigned to it but I can't ping my gateway.
[23:11] <kunzy> Pelo:  Awesome, now it makes more sense.  Thanks
[23:11] <Lokii-> n0ob transform no, but there may be a package set for that modem allready created for linux
[23:12] <gigamonk`> I've opened up the access point (no security).
[23:12] <Lokii-> if so it should be detected and installed when doing the install
[23:12] <Pelo> kunzy, on linux in general you can always compile from the source which means you can pretty much install any app on any distro,  in ubuntu ( and other high-end distros) , you will have repositories of precomplied packages,  meainng that those packages have already been configured to instal with no issues on that particular distro,  ubuntu has the largest repositories of all distros,  all packages in the ubuntu repos will install on your comp
[23:12] <Pelo>  seemlessly with no issues,  which is why we allways tell ppl to check in add/remove or in synaptic before compling from source
[23:12] <soundray> gigamonk`: keep it on one line please
[23:12] <N0ob> -o me self
[23:12] <N0ob> Nick = subnoob
[23:12] <Pelo> kunzy, and apt is the command that handles the install
[23:12] <nemilar> Pelo: ubuntu doesn't have the largest repositories
[23:12] <nemilar> Pelo: Debian's repos are larger
[23:12] <howlingmadhowie> Pelo: the ubuntu repos are quite a bit smaller than the gentoo or debian repos...
[23:12] <Pelo> nemilar, realy ?
[23:12] <soundray> gigamonk`: why a static address? Can't you run DHCP on the gateway?
[23:12]  * Pelo stands corrected
[23:13] <sauvin> Fedora's repos are even bigger.
[23:13] <Manad> drwillis: I already found those instructions. The script they ask you to run is the one that gives me "command not found"
[23:13] <kunzy> pelo:  ok
[23:13] <subnoob> How do I connect to a wireless connection using Ubuntu?
[23:13] <nemilar> "Who has the bigger repo?!? HUH?!?"
[23:13] <Pelo> howlingmadhowie, technicaly ubuntu can use the debian repos so , add those to the official ubuntu ones
[23:13] <gigamonk`> soundray: I tried that too.
[23:13] <sauvin> Beyond a certain point, it doesn't really matter. Ubuntu's repos were inclusive enough to make me happy.
[23:13] <LjL> Pelo: ?
[23:13] <BobboL> hey.. I installed a pata card in my comp with 2 hd's on it.  dmesg says the card is there (it seems to be using the libata module) but the drives on the card are not showing up.. has someone experience with these kinds of cards?
[23:13] <gigamonk`> Let me try again.
[23:13] <howlingmadhowie> Pelo: they're not always binary compatible
[23:14] <nemilar> Pelo: in 8.04 there's a merge between the debian and ubuntu repositories
[23:14] <subnoob> There's a free library Wireless Connection I can catch it with my wireless network card but I use the windows wireless thingie to connect to it how do I do it with Ubuntu?
[23:14]  * Pelo gives up and goes back to helping the noobs
[23:14] <nemilar> Pelo: every major release sees a merge
[23:14] <soundray> gigamonk`: have you got ubuntu on it?
[23:14] <stefka> hello people how to change the name of my username i run ubuntu 7.10 can somebody tell me?
[23:14] <gigamonk`> soundray: yes. That's why I'm here. ;-)
[23:14] <Lokii-> subnoob i already answered your question read up
[23:14] <subnoob> ok
[23:14] <PriceChild> !debian | Pelo howlingmadhowie
[23:14] <ubotu> Pelo howlingmadhowie: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu!
[23:14] <gigamonk`> On the eee that is. The access point is a linksys router/ap/comba thingy.
[23:14] <Pelo> stefka, check in menu > system > prefs  somewhere
[23:14] <shaiguitar> help!
[23:15] <erUSUL> BobboL: maybe the dmesg has some clue can you post it to pastebin??
[23:15] <ompaul> Pelo, don't suggest that to anyone thanks
[23:15] <stefka> Pelo: so where is that somewhere?
[23:15] <subnoob> No that's a different modem
[23:15] <shaiguitar> vi - anyone have info on how i get perl syntax coloring in my editor? many thanks
[23:15] <ompaul> howlingmadhowie, the abi is different as you rightly point out
[23:15] <nemilar> shaiguitar: I think vim will automatically enable highlighting for a .pl file
[23:15] <Dr_willis> shaiguitar,  install the full vim package, not the tiny vim, thats installed by default.. for a start
[23:15] <Gibb_> Hey, how do I stop xfce in xubuntu and get Flexbox running? Ive got flexbox and flexconf installed, but when I run startflexbox I get an error about xfce running
[23:15] <Lokii-> shaiguitar use gedit
[23:16] <Dr_willis> !find vim
[23:16] <Pelo> stefka, open a terminal type gnome-control-center  under about me
[23:16] <Lokii-> works good for that
[23:16] <ubotu> Found: vim, vim-common, vim-doc, vim-gnome, vim-gui-common (and 18 others)
[23:16] <gigamonk`> With DHCP I get "connect: Network unreachable" when I try to ping the router.
[23:16] <shaiguitar> nemilar it doesn't highlight
[23:16] <shaiguitar> !find vim
[23:16] <chewd> hey folks... ubuntu used to be able to see my windows network up until just the other day
[23:16] <Dr_willis> the tinyvim does not have all the features - i belive
[23:16] <chewd> now i got nothin
[23:16] <nemilar> lets get into a text-editor war :)
[23:16] <Manad> found the problem, I needed to add "bash" before install-css.sh
[23:16] <Pelo> chewd, review your samba settings
[23:16] <BobboL> erUSUL: thats a bit hard because its a different comp with no net. but the line that caught my eye was: ata2: sata link down (SStatus 0 Scontrol 300)
[23:16] <chuck> ah, found something
[23:16] <Lokii-> chewd where they mounts in the fstab ?
[23:16] <chuck> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=669514
[23:16]  * howlingmadhowie uses ed as his preferred text editor
[23:16] <Manad> none of the commands said to use bash
[23:17] <shaiguitar> Dr willis i don't get the package as a default? where do i download it?
[23:17] <erUSUL> shaiguitar: put "syntax on" on your .vimrc
[23:17] <chewd> im not sure loki
[23:17] <chuck> i'll just install 7.04 then and to a dist-upgrade afterwards
[23:17] <nemilar> Manad: they probably said to chmod +x it, then
[23:17] <Dr_willis> shaiguitar,  its in the repos.
[23:17] <Lokii-> chewd check to make sure the network names and or ip's have not changed
[23:17] <erUSUL> BobboL: it is sata or pata??
[23:17] <chewd> i had some mounted as desktop shortcuts
[23:17] <Lokii-> is so try doing mount -a
[23:17] <subnoob> Lokkiiii- HI I heard that Linux is number one OS for hackers, is that so?
[23:17] <Dr_willis> !info vim-full
[23:17] <ubotu> vim-full (source: vim): Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor - full fledged version. In component universe, is extra. Version 1:7.1-056+2ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 943 kB, installed size 1892 kB
[23:18] <chewd> the machine still has access when i boot XP, so i dont think its a prob with the network
[23:18] <shaiguitar> !info vim-full
[23:18] <Gibb_> Anyone know how I stop the xfce windows manager so I can get flexbox running?
[23:18] <BobboL> erUSUL: its a sata card with a pata connector as well.
[23:18] <shaiguitar> :) thanks guys!
[23:18] <nemilar> shaiguitar: the info is right there... don't try to ask for it again
[23:18] <shaiguitar> it's working
[23:18] <Lokii-> subnoob many hackers prefer to use linux over windows because it is more configurable and can do more
[23:18] <Pelo> subnoob, hackers in this context basicaly means programmers or ppl who like to play around in their system a lot
[23:18] <erUSUL> BobboL: that's the normal msg for a not used sata port (i have three of them on my pc)
[23:18] <chewd> the recent update installed pulseaudio, which fixed my sound probs.... doesnt pulse also do some network stuff?
[23:18] <shaiguitar> many thanks
[23:18] <gigamonk`> soundray: I also see both wifi0 and ath0 in the output of ifconfig (as opposed to iwconfig)
[23:18] <nemilar> chewd: yeah, pulseaudio is network-transparent
[23:19] <BobboL> erUSUL: there are no extra devices (such as sda or hde)
[23:19] <nemilar> chewd: pulseaudio is going to be standard in 8.04
[23:19] <Lokii-> subnoob keep in mind that hackers are usually programmers and windows is not meant to be that much of a programming platform not like linux
[23:19] <chewd> pelo: those samba settings, do you mean in system/admin/network?
[23:19] <soundray> gigamonk`: there's a guy who sells Eee PCs with Ubuntu preinstalled in the UK. I bet he would know the answer to the issue. www.efficientpc.com
[23:19] <chewd> or is there someplace else i can get more options
[23:19] <chewd> ?
[23:19] <erUSUL> BobboL: what chip does the card uses?
[23:19] <soundray> gigamonk`: I wouldn't worry about the two devices
[23:19] <chewd> well im happy with pulse.. it fixed a lot of sound problems i was having
[23:20] <chewd> the recent update pushed it onto me
[23:20] <Pelo> chewd, samba isthe app that is usualy used to comminicate between a linux and window machines,  i 'd assumed you had it instaled, I am not an expert in that area
[23:20] <chewd> i read somewhere that it has some network stuff it does too
[23:20] <gigamonk`> Okay.
[23:20] <subnoob> Lokii: I know alittle C++ and Perl but C++ doesn't work anymore because of some registry problems and other compilers suck that's why I'm pissed at windows, will C++ work on linux better, or C? I heard that if you get into Linux you will be able to program better because Linux is all about programming?
[23:20] <BobboL> lspci shows a via technologies VT6421
[23:20] <chewd> hmmm... ill double check & make sure samba didnt get removed somehow
[23:20] <Lokii-> C++ is one of the main programming languages of linux
[23:20] <Lokii-> enjoy
[23:20] <Pelo> g'night folks
[23:20] <soundray> gigamonk`: I think the default Xandros comes with a more recent kernel. Atheros improvements have been promised for the next Ubuntu release
[23:21] <erUSUL> BobboL: do you see sata_via and pata_via loaded?
[23:21] <Lynet> Ubuntu 7.10, running as guest in vmware. Clock is running way too fast, like 10-100x too fast. Anyone know how to fix, couldn't find anything in ubuntu or vmware forums/kb.
[23:21] <subnoob> Lokii: so once I install Linux will C++ come free with it?
[23:21] <Dr_willis> subnoob,  linux has C compilers yes.. free. GPL free even.
[23:21] <Lokii-> ofc
[23:21] <chewd> nope... samba still shows as installed in synaptic
[23:21] <shaiguitar> where is i possible to get a good c++ tutorial (coming from scripting languages like perl + ruby)
[23:21] <nemilar> subnoob: gcc/g++ are free c/c++ compilers for linux
[23:21] <shaiguitar> ?

[23:21] <kastelo> hello

[23:21] <Manad> hey, me again. DVD playback works, but it's incredibly slow. My computer can't cope. I noticed that if I make the player window smaller, CPU usage reduces. If I maximize/fullscreen, CPU is 100% and frames are dropped. When I had enough, this computer was enough to play DVDs with no problem, is there a problem here? I also noticed this on Youtube: if I fullscreen, it becomes a slideshow
[23:21] <Lokii-> subnoob yes
[23:21] <manduski> hey guys, i'm connected to my router, but i can't seem to get pull up the internet on my new laptop's wifi. please help
[23:21] <chewd> system/admin/network is kinda sparse on options
[23:21] <Manad> it's just a zoom, why is it requiring so much more CPU?

[23:22] <BobboL> erUSUL: libata under lsmod shows the sata_via, sata_promise.
[23:22] <howlingmadhowie> nemilar: i'd say that linux is the operating system kernel for the gcc :)
[23:22] <BobboL> erUSUL: I try a modprobe
[23:22] <elijahhatem> Sorry...
[23:22] <chewd> weird thing is... i can  see all the boxes on my windows network... just cant get to any shares
[23:22] <soundray> gigamonk`: did you build the madwifi driver like they did?
[23:23] <kidem> can u see the shares?
[23:23] <Lokii-> chewd what i do for my windows shares is throw entries into fstab i didn't bother with installing samba
[23:23] <nemilar> howlingmadhowie: I'm not sure what you were meaning to say, but that doesn't make any sense
[23:23] <DivineSpectrum_> eja
[23:23] <Lokii-> wasn't needed
[23:23] <gigamonk`> soundray: I tried to.
[23:23] <kastelo> how do i join to a nother chanel
[23:23] <nemilar> howlingmadhowie: unless you were trying to make some sort of reference to GNU/Linux

[23:23] <DivineSpectrum_> ubuntu rulez like metal
[23:23] <sagredo> Hi all. I just installed 7.10 and for some reason my wired internet connection (Cable) is going very slow.
[23:23] <Geezle_> Is there any chance somebody here would have a little time to help me out with a sound problem I'm having?
[23:23] <chewd> plz pardon my linux ignorance
[23:23] <sagredo> Looking at sys --> admin --> network, my wired connection appears to be in "Roaming Mode" - is this why?
[23:23] <Lokii-> chewd sudo nano /etc/fstab
[23:23] <kastelo> thx
[23:23] <DivineSpectrum_> ubuntu rulez like metal

[23:24] <Sonja> but normal prints don't go out
[23:24] <BobboL> erUSUL: nope modprobe pata_via   Module pata_via not found sorry
[23:24] <sagredo> Hi all. I just installed 7.10 and for some reason my wired internet connection (Cable) is going very slow.
[23:24] <gigamonk`> Actually one of my questions (and why I asked if anyone here was actually using an eee) is whether the madwifi driver was included in the script-pack mentioned in the "Resolved Problems" section or did I need to do both things.
[23:24] <sagredo> Looking at sys --> admin --> network, my wired connection appears to be in "Roaming Mode" - is this why?
[23:24] <Odd-rationale> MongooseWA: Try looking in ~/.gnome2
[23:24] <gigamonk`> I tried both but maybe in the wrong order.
[23:24] <howlingmadhowie> nemilar: gcc can compile for pretty much everything
[23:24] <soundray> !sound > Geezle_, follow ubotu's advice (private message), then if you get stuck, come back here and say precisely how.
[23:24] <chippy> hello. is there a shortcut for "gnome-open" ?
[23:24] <MongooseWA> sweet, thanks Odd-rationale
[23:24] <gilda> BobboL, did you do any upgrades lately on your ubuntu - before it stopped detecting the sata drives ?
[23:24] <Lokii-> chewd eg for an entry would be.. //<IP_ADDRESS>/SharedDocs /media/winshare cifs guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode  0  0
[23:24] <gigamonk`> On a different note: I'm using the U.S. English Dvorak layout but in Terminal (at least) it seems when I do ctrl-C I have to use the Qwerty C.
[23:25] <subnoob> Does windows suck?
[23:25] <danbhfive> chippy: open, I believe
[23:25] <nemilar> howlingmadhowie: yeah...but it doesn't make any sense to say that linux is the kernel for gcc
[23:25] <BobboL> gilda: I just put a pci sata/pata card in :)
[23:25] <rsk> subnoob: don't troll
[23:25] <gigamonk`> I don't have that problem on my desktop Ubuntu box.
[23:25] <chewd> no kidding lokii, that would make things much easier
[23:25] <sagredo> Hi all. I just installed 7.10 and for some reason my wired internet connection (Cable) is going very slow.
[23:25] <sagredo> Looking at sys --> admin --> network, my wired connection appears to be in "Roaming Mode" - is this why?
[23:25] <chewd> u put that into terminal... got a bunch of gobbledy gook
[23:25] <subnoob> rsk+ whats troll
[23:25] <Jack_Sparrow> !find gcc
[23:25] <ubotu> Found: gcc, gcc-3.3, gcc-3.3-base, gcc-3.3-doc, gcc-3.4 (and 32 others)
[23:25] <chippy> danbhfive, open didnt work.
[23:25] <danbhfive> sagredo: no, I dont think thats the problem
[23:25] <rsk> ok nevermind subnoob
[23:25] <PriceChild> !offtopic | subnoob
[23:25] <gilda> BobboL, i had some issues with sata on my ubuntu gutsy install i had to append the grub loader with all_generic_ide for it to see my sata drives
[23:25] <sagredo> danbhfive: any idea? :)
[23:25] <DivineSpectrum_> kubuntu is really?
[23:25] <Lokii-> chewd did you type in terminal sudo nano /etc/fstab
[23:25] <Sonja> i can't print :(
[23:25] <gilda> otherwise they were not detected
[23:26] <howlingmadhowie> nemilar: i think you can build the linux kernel with the sun c compiler as well, but i may be wrong
[23:26] <Undeadlord> sagredo: I think that means it will try to connect to any wired network that it senses
[23:26] <rsk> subnoob: i dont think it sucks but ubuntu does everything i do better than windows
[23:26] <chewd> lemme try again
[23:26] <ubotu> subnoob: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[23:26] <DivineSpectrum_> sonja: you must cosar the impostazion
[23:26] <Lokii-> chewd nano is a file editor like vim
[23:26] <Sonja> how do i cosar an impostazion?
[23:26] <chewd> oh okie
[23:26] <erUSUL> BobboL: try this one then «sudo modprobe via82cxxx»
[23:26] <Geezle_> Soundray thanks, I've tried the Ubuntu forums with no luck.  I have no sound at all.  I have tried a number of things, including rebuilding ALSA but have had no luck.  aplay sees my sound device but won't play from it.
[23:26] <sagredo> Undeadlord: Hrmf. Well, why is my connection so weak?
[23:26] <yaser> hi, bash-completion isnt working correctly in my session(it does in remaining session), which config file should i check?
[23:27] <chewd> lokii: looks like its giving me a readme... a list of files or somesuch
[23:27] <kastelo> how do i install an SB live 24bit external (USB)  plz
[23:27] <Geezle_> I'm a bit of a newb with sorting stuff like this out, so I might need my hand held a bit
[23:27] <soundray> !intelhda > Geezle_, does this factoid apply perhaps?
[23:27] <chewd> can i just get nano thru synaptic?
[23:27] <Lokii-> chewd sorta yeah its commented
[23:27] <DivineSpectrum_> sonja: you must go on system/admin/printer
[23:27] <chewd> yea i dont see anywhere that says just get on with it & install
[23:27] <Lokii-> chewd brb going outside for a smoke you can pm me if you like
[23:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Geezle_: Another good page is..  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems
[23:27] <gilda> chewd, nano is in ubuntu install default in the command line
[23:27] <BobboL> erUSUL: that is already loaded.. part of ide_core in lsmod
[23:27] <Geezle_> Nope, it's not an intel sound device
[23:27] <Undeadlord> sagredo: That I am not sure ... have you tested it online at ISP test sites?
[23:27] <yaser> hi, bash-completion isnt working correctly in my session(it does in remaining session), which config file should i check?
[23:27] <DivineSpectrum_> sonja: and insert your printer
[23:27] <MongooseWA> can somebody help me get the new style last.fm rhythmbox plugin working plz?
[23:28] <chewd> gilda: so youre saying ive already got it?
[23:28] <sagredo> Undeadlord: Nope.
[23:28] <gilda> chewd, in your 'terminal' you should have nano
[23:28] <Lokii-> you should already have it but on some off chance do sudo apt-get install nano
[23:28] <Geezle_> Thanks Jack_sparrow, I'll check out that link and see if there's anything useful in there for me
[23:28] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[23:29] <chewd> gilda: ok im not sure what that means, or how it helps
[23:29] <erUSUL> BobboL: but no /dev/hdxx for the disks :(
[23:29] <DivineSpectrum_> sonja: are you in?
[23:29] <yaser> hi, bash-completion isnt working correctly in my session(it does in remaining session), which config file should i check?
[23:29] <gilda> lol np's chewd
[23:29] <BobboL> erUSUL: nope :(
[23:29] <soundray> yaser: don't just repeat, rephrase. It's not clear what you mean.
[23:29] <jetscreamer> ~/.profile i think, yaser
[23:30] <chewd> im just trying to get to my windows shares again.. it was working until just the other day
[23:30] <jetscreamer> yaser: see also maybe ~/.bash_profile and/or /etc/profile
[23:30] <yaser> soundray, why is it not clear?
[23:30] <chewd> i think some update broke it
[23:30] <soundray> yaser: bash has no "sessions"
[23:30] <Undeadlord> sagredo: I might give that a try first .. see if you see anything that looks slow
[23:30] <yaser> jetscreamer, ok ill copy them from a new session
[23:30] <BobboL> erUSUL: I check the jumpers on the drives
[23:30] <Undeadlord> sagredo: I think speedtest.net is quite good
[23:31] <jetscreamer> yaser: just edit/view them, the history setting is in there iirc
[23:31] <DivineSpectrum_> sonja
[23:31] <yaser> soundray, bash configuration is session dependent
[23:31] <jetscreamer> yaser: the /etc/profile would be global
[23:31] <soundray> yaser: what do you mean by "session"
[23:31] <chewd> i have the windows shares mapped to desktop shortcuts... they were working great
[23:31] <yaser> jetscreamer, ok
[23:31] <jetscreamer> yaser: it used to be ~/.bash_profile but they have moved to ~/.profile
[23:31] <jetscreamer> so local
[23:31] <yaser> soundray, user session
[23:31] <cjones> what is xgl?
[23:32] <kastelo> how do i install an SB live 24bit external (USB)  plz
[23:32] <soundray> yaser: gnome?
[23:32] <kastelo> yes
[23:32] <jetscreamer> yaser: the ~ is local/user, obviously
[23:32] <yaser> soulrider, yep
[23:32] <DivineSpectrum_> no
[23:32] <gilda> BobboL, try changing ur /boot/grub/menu.lst so where it has the kernel line it has   all_generic_ide at the end - then reboot see if that works
[23:32] <cjones> hey how do you get the vista screen effects
[23:32] <soundray> jetscreamer: are you sure he's not going to muck things up based on your advice?
[23:32] <yaser> jetscreamer, i understand, but i think the simplest is to copy those files from other user
[23:32] <jetscreamer> yaser: be sure and back up the files before you edit/copy
[23:33] <yaser> jetscreamer, ok thanks
[23:33] <jetscreamer> yaser: yes sounds simple/workable.. dont forget the backups
[23:33] <insanelyconfused> PriceChild i have moto4lin and i still cant see my phone
[23:33] <sagredo> after installing a fresh 7.10 gutsy my connection to the internet is extremely weak. Can someone help me troubleshoot?
[23:34] <erUSUL> BobboL: it seems that using the boot option "all-generic-ide" to the kernel may help with your issue
[23:34] <kastelo> how do i install an SB live 24bit external (USB) in gnome plz
[23:34] <cjones> i want to be abel to flip my windows and stuff could anybody just point me in the right direction
[23:34] <gilda> lol thats what i said erUSUL
[23:34] <gigamonk`> Hmmmm. Emacs sees C-c as C-c despite my dvorak mapping. Is there some setting I need to make to Terminal to make it grok the dvorak mapping for ctrl keys as well?
[23:35] <jetscreamer> !info compi
[23:35] <ubotu> Package compi does not exist in gutsy

[23:35] <ratararam> anybody ideas?
[23:35] <howlingmadhowie> ratararam: we need more details ;)
[23:35] <rainwalker> when you start an app with wine from the command line, do you just do "wine /path/to/exe"?
[23:35] <gilda> ratararam, problem? care to clarify
[23:36] <gilda> yes rainwalker
[23:36] <rainwalker> ok thanks
[23:36] <Jack_Sparrow> rainwalker: type wine notepad
[23:36] <stefka> people please can somebody tell me how to change the name of my username on my linux ubuntu 7.10 please can somebody ?
[23:36] <rainwalker> Jack_Sparrow: why?
[23:36] <ratararam> howlingmadhowie:  i just install dual boot with vista .. and vista is fine but linux ... cant detect boot device ... select a device to boot or shell for a shell
[23:36] <subnoob> They say that there are no viruses in linux, then whats that virus I've heard about on the net, and how do 1 get read of it
[23:36] <Jack_Sparrow> rainwalker: An example of how to run programs under wine
[23:36] <stefka> people please can somebody tell me how to change the name of my username on my linux ubuntu 7.10 please can somebody ?
[23:36] <mohbana__> hey guys where can i find the log for synaptic?
[23:36] <soundray> stefka: don't repeat please
[23:36] <stefka> soundray: okay sorry.
[23:36] <andi5> FYI: the two links README and FAQ at the top of http://popcon.ubuntu.com/ are dead... who should be contacted about that<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[23:37] <rainwalker> Jack_Sparrow: I don't really get what you're saying
[23:37] <soundray> stefka: man usermod, look for the -l option
[23:37] <subnoob> man usermod, look for the -l option
[23:37] <rainwalker> Jack_Sparrow: nevermind, I thought you had said to type "wine in notepad" not "wine notepad"
[23:37] <subnoob> good job answering before me soundray
[23:37] <Jack_Sparrow> rainwalker: np
[23:37] <stefka> soundray: dude i'm a newbie :( can you tell me what correct to write in terminal?
[23:37] <jetscreamer> stefka: easiest to create a new user, cp ~/.* to the new user dir (chown to taste) and userdel username
[23:37] <chewd> odd thing is... i can see the workgroup just fine... i can see all the boxes on the workgroup... but i open em & it goes busy for a sec & then nothing
[23:38] <ordisi> Hello. I need some serious help to install SB live 24 bit external (USB) in gnome. Can someone help please?
[23:38] <soundray> stefka: man usermod
[23:38] <rainwalker> Jack_Sparrow: okay, what do I do if nothing happens?
[23:38] <stefka> jetscreamer: i want sonly to change the name of mine username " stefka "
[23:38] <creeed> hello, my computer is unreachable from the outside allthought the Port 22 is listening? any help please?
[23:38] <chewd> maybe i need to tell it to use guest login or something?
[23:38] <soundray> jetscreamer: that's just crazy
[23:38] <mohbana__> hey guys where can i find the log for synaptic?
[23:38] <stefka>        -l, --login NEW_LOGIN
[23:38] <stefka>           The name of the user will be changed from LOGIN to NEW_LOGIN.
[23:38] <stefka>           Nothing else is changed. In particular, the user’s home directory
[23:38] <stefka>           name should probably be changed to reflect the new login name.
[23:38] <stefka> ohh sorry for paste really :((
[23:38] <andi5> creeed: do you need to enable port forwarding in a router?
[23:38] <Jack_Sparrow> rainwalker: If nothing happens, something is wrong with your wine install
[23:39] <jetscreamer> just call me psyco
[23:39] <stefka> soundray: i wants to change the username only the nAME nothing more nothing to delete in that user :S
[23:39] <rainwalker> Jack_Sparrow: would it be something wrong with my wine install or the install of the app I'm trying to run?
[23:39] <stefka> only the name
[23:39] <stefka> how i can change it?
[23:39] <creeed> andi5, I dont know, I'm in a LAN and I dont know how the router is configured here?
[23:39] <BobboL> erUSUL Gilda: nope didn't work.. gonna try to get you guys the dmesg
[23:39] <kastelo> how do i install an SB live 24bit external (USB) in gnome plz
[23:39] <gigamonk`> stefka: did you read the section on the -l option in the usermod manpage?
[23:39] <soundray> stefka: I know. Don't mistake my advice for jetscreamer's
[23:40] <creeed> andi5, is possible that the router refused the connection from the outside?
[23:40] <Jack_Sparrow> rainwalker: If wine notepad does not work it is wine.... if it works and wine your program doesnt work.. it is your program
[23:40] <gilda> did you forware the port creeed ?
[23:40] <insanelyconfused> why is my phone isnt connecting to moto4lin
[23:40] <subnoob> ok you guys I'm going to install ubuntu on my computer, what if my hard drive or something gets fried somewhere along the way and I wont be able to connect to the internet even from windows what do I do?
[23:40] <andi5> creeed: well... i suppose www.whatismyip.com returns the ip of the external interface of your router then, right? ... there is no way to avoid configuring your router, as it seems
[23:40] <chewd> is there a samba configuration tool somewhere?
[23:40] <Jack_Sparrow> rainwalker: Kinda why I said to run wine notepad ..was to test your wine install.
[23:40] <rainwalker> Jack_Sparrow: well I've run other programs already (not with the command line, but with wine) so I think it's the app I'm trying to use (rhapsody)
[23:40] <mohbana__> did anyone get my message above?
[23:40] <stefka> gigamonk`: yes i read it but i'm confused i dont know how to change the name of my user ( the user its: stefka and i wants to be the user: mnikic )
[23:40] <stefka> how to change only the name
[23:40] <stefka> nothing more
[23:41] <Jack_Sparrow> rainwalker: ask in wineh for best answers for wine problems
[23:41] <rainwalker> Jack_Sparrow: where?
[23:41] <Jack_Sparrow> rainwalker: /j #winehq
[23:41] <jetscreamer> #winehq
[23:41] <soundray> stefka: 'sudo usermod -l stefka mnikic'
[23:41] <gigamonk`> stefka: seems like "usermod -l mnikic stefka" should do the trick.
[23:41] <gigamonk`> But that's just based on reading the man page.
[23:41] <stefka> okay so the password will be?
[23:41] <andi5> creeed: but maybe i did not understand you right... you try to contact your pc inside a lan from the internet, right?
[23:41] <TOML> hello, anyone here know of any good free bootloaders?
[23:42] <mohbana__> how do i access my install log, for synaptic?
[23:42] <gigamonk`> Keep in mind that (as the man page says) that it won't rename the home directory which will be odd.
[23:42] <creeed> andi5, yes
[23:42] <rsk> TOML: grub
[23:42] <Sonja> DivineSpectrum_ it's printed before. it doesn't print any more :(
[23:42] <TOML> rsk, cna i query?
[23:42] <rsk> no
[23:42] <gigamonk`> stefka: probably your own.
[23:42] <TOML> so i can ask mroe about it?
[23:42] <TOML> ok, can u explain grub then?
[23:42] <TOML> does it recognize vista as well?
[23:42] <Jack_Sparrow> !grub
[23:42] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[23:42] <stefka> ~$ usermod -l mnikic warchild
[23:42] <stefka> usermod: unable to lock password file
[23:42] <rsk> type grub in google and hit 'im lucky'
[23:42] <stefka> what that means?
