[03:49] <ice_cream> m4n, actually i dont see how you'd be forced to install gnome core from that app
[03:49] <PirateHead> yeah, it's rwxrwxrwx, which is also not good.
[03:50] <ice_cream> m4n, you should not
[03:50] <daedalus_> vcrobe: There should be a linux-headers package (or similar) for your kernel in synaptic.
[03:50] <m4n> ice_cream: am checking that
[03:50] <kbrooks> what packages (and versions) does edgy backports have?
[03:50] <ice_cream> m4n, slowpoke! =P
[03:50] <PhilK> vcrobe: sudo aptitude install linux-headers-`uname -r`
[03:50] <m4n> PirateHead: you can change that to 644  then, if you are concerned about the link
[03:50] <daedalus_> PirateHead: like I said, it doesn't matter. The permissions of the parent file are passed through. Anyone can take the route to the parent file through the link, but file permissions are evaluated on the parent
[03:51] <daedalus_> m4n: see above
[03:51] <ice_cream> m4n, only running fluxbox atm.. a few *shiver* gnome apps, maybe 2 kde..
[03:51] <crusoe> daedalus: how to i figure out which dev it binds to?
[03:51] <m4n> deadcandance: you *can* change the permissions and ownership of the symlink alone
[03:51] <jrib> m4n, daedalus_: you /can/ chown symlinks, or at lesat I just did:  sudo chown -h someuser: /path/to/symlink
[03:51] <m4n> but it doesnt make any difference on file
[03:51] <vcrobe> PhilK: Do I have to replace 'uname -r' for something or I have to write the command in the way you tell me?
[03:51] <m4n> jrib: that is what I have been saying also
[03:51] <PirateHead> who is deadcadance?
[03:52] <PhilK> vcrobe: just like that, but they aren't those quotes, theyre backticks over on the tilde key
[03:52] <daedalus_> crusoe: unplug the device, then tail -f /var/log/syslog and see what pops up.  Hopefully it will say "binding to /dev/sda" or somesuch. Otherwise you'll have to use some usb scannning utility, which is outside the scope of my experiences.
[03:52] <vcrobe> PhilK: Thanx, I'll try right now
[03:52] <mojo> if i'm running amd64 in 32bit mode, should i be running linux-image-386 or linux-image-generic package?
[03:53] <ice_cream> `` != ''
[03:53] <daedalus_> jrib: does it actually modify functionality though?
[03:53] <jrib> daedalus_: no
[03:53] <jrib> or at least not that I can see
[03:53] <daedalus_> jrib: ok, so.... ;)
[03:53] <daedalus_> Fair point though
[03:53] <jrib> just trying to be accurate :)
[03:53] <JuJuBee> Math^ : I tried to use acpi=off and still same problem. I noticed that after it loads the kernel and the splash screen comes up, the light on DVD drive stays off.  Seems like it stopped being able to read the CD.  I am using an Intel 965 Mobo.  Kow of any issues with INTEL 965?
[03:53] <PhilK> heh, i banged my head against that a few times when i was first poking around, till i realized the backticks actually run a command within a command
[03:54] <ice_cream> haha
[03:54] <m4n> PhilK: backticks run command. be it inside or not
[03:54] <m4n> ice_cream: not much helpful :)
[03:54] <ice_cream> yea they probably run a search-and-replace type thihng
[03:54] <ice_cream> thing*
[03:54] <vjacob> hi. i'm wondering where after installing ubuntu live 6.06 LTS (dapper drake), I can change the boot setup
[03:54] <Lynx-> mojo: generic is better, although both will run
[03:54] <m4n> ice_cream: it can change the resolution, but then it is virtual mode
[03:55] <vjacob> i haven't found it after looking in the menus or in /etc
[03:55] <ice_cream> m4n, ah, the desired res doesn't come up eh
[03:55] <m4n> ice_cream: a big screen which will scroll
[03:55] <vjacob> i simply want to change the default boot from linux to windows, since this is a school machine.
[03:55] <m4n> anyway, I have to play with this stuff some more
[03:55] <PhilK> well yeah, that's true, but why would you run a command with backticks unless you were doing it inside another one?
[03:55] <m4n> vjacob: default= option
[03:55] <ice_cream> yea, play some more! =)
[03:55] <m4n> vjacob: in grub or lilo
[03:55] <mojo> Lynx-: okay... i was not sure... linux-image-686 was deprecated in favor of -generic so that is what i thought.  i will change it over later, though.. am busy working right now and noticed that in synaptic
[03:56] <ice_cream> play w/ xorg, and gvidm should present updated choices of resolutions, if any
[03:56] <crusoe> daedalus: http://www.pastebin.ca/391902 here is the output of the cmd...it looks like sdb1, but i'm not 100%
[03:56] <vjacob> m4n: i don't think i have lilo, i've been looking for the grub boot config file, but not finding it
[03:56] <doomster> hi!
[03:56] <m4n> vjacob: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[03:57] <magical_bacon> im running ubntu 5.1 and want to upgrade distros to the newest kubuntu,whats the shell commands?
[03:57] <mcman> kubuntu is ubuntu?
[03:57] <rb007> Is there a way to run KDE configuration tool from GNOME?  I want to set Konqueror to use double-click to open files, not single click.
[03:57] <kbrooks> mcman, kubuntu is kubuntu is kubuntu
[03:57] <m4n> PhilK: it can be at the end of a command also. something like... cmd_expecting_args `cat file`
[03:58] <doomster> mcman, you might consider reading the FAQ ;)
[03:58] <dyrne> magical_bacon: basically sudo -i 's/hoary/breezy/g' /etc/apt/sources.list; sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[03:58] <Lynoure> mcman: kubuntu is ubuntu with kde instead of gnome
[03:58] <mcman> kbrooks, oh, Is is ubuntu alike?
[03:58] <m4n> mcman: kubuntu is unbuntu with kde as default window manager
[03:58] <daedalus_> Is there a marillat(debian) equivalent for ubuntu? Repo for packages like mplayer and the like?
[03:58] <ice_cream> imo, overall poisoning of linux is very apparent with KDE
[03:58] <PhilK> ok, i see what you're going for
[03:58] <mcman> oh
[03:58] <kbrooks> m4n, *desktop environment*
[03:58] <mcman> i see :) thanks guys!
[03:58] <m4n> kbrooks: yeah whatever you call it :P
[03:58] <vjacob> m4n: thank you!
[03:58] <m4n> vjacob: np
[03:58] <dyrne> magical_bacon: of course your version hoary changing to breezy will be diff that just an example
[03:58] <ice_cream> somehow i managed to grab independent k3b and konsole
[03:59] <kbrooks> m4n, a window manager is an app that provides the decorations etc and the alt+tab stuff etc
[03:59] <ice_cream> but on daily basis, urxvt ftw!
[03:59] <m4n> kbrooks: i know all that, dude :)
[03:59] <dyrne> !upgrade > magical_bacon
[03:59] <kbrooks> m4n: kde is not a WM. kwin is.
[03:59] <ice_cream> kbrooks, yea, scroll up... he knows his stuff... duh =P
[04:00] <m4n> kbrooks: i just told you something. i know all that!
[04:00] <m4n> phew
[04:00] <kbrooks> m4n: ok
[04:00] <kbrooks> sorry then
[04:00] <m4n> np
[04:00] <m4n> thats all
[04:00] <ice_cream> i like gvidm; how did you find it, m4n
[04:01] <doomster> just wondering, are there any live-CDs for PPC available?
[04:01] <Tonren> What does the term "upstream" refer to?
[04:01] <m4n> ice_cream: its okay, but doesnt serve my purpose
[04:01] <m4n> ice_cream: in fact , just for changing resolution, you dont need an app.
[04:01] <daedalus_> Tonren: the original, or higher order code maintainers
[04:01] <ice_cream> k, not familiar w/ the virtual screen error you received
[04:01] <m4n> ice_cream: ctrl+alt+ plus/minus would do
[04:01] <ice_cream> i dont change my resolution, reallly
[04:01] <Tonren> daedalus_: I don't follow.
[04:01] <m4n> ice_cream: okay
[04:01] <daedalus_> Tonren: basically, the people who wrote the application, or who are tasked with maintaining/updating it
[04:01] <ice_cream> m4n, that doesnt do anything for me
[04:02] <Dr_willis> alt-ctrl NUMPAD + and - to change X res
[04:02] <m4n> ice_cream: on laptop ?
[04:02] <crusoe> daedalus_: http://www.pastebin.ca/391902 here is the output of the cmd...it looks like sdb1, but i'm not 100%
[04:02] <m4n> ice_cream: yes ^^^
[04:02] <daedalus_> Tonren: as opposed to the folks who package it up for uubuntu/debian/etc.
[04:02] <ice_cream> m4n, yes... !kde, !gnome (in short, no crap)
[04:02] <vcrobe> PhilK: I've installed the Kernel headers in the way you tell me but I get the same error compiling my program. Do you have another idea?
[04:02] <m4n> ice_cream: it is not any kde/gnome key combination also
[04:02] <PhilK> vcrobe: what's the error?
[04:02] <vcrobe> asm/processor.h file not found
[04:03] <m4n> m4n: it will be handled by X server, afaik
[04:03] <vcrobe> and asm/system.h
[04:03] <m4n> oops, for ice_cream  it was
[04:03] <genii> Dr_willis: That reminds me of another day someone asking desperatelu how to remap X ctrl++ and ctrl+- to just ctrl+ and ctrl- ROFL
[04:03] <ice_cream> hahahh
[04:03] <daedalus_> Tonren: the package maintainers typically have a different role than the upstream folks. pkg maint folks do things like make sure the package will integrate well into the ubuntu environment etc.
[04:03] <m4n> :)
[04:03] <Tonren> daedalus_: Is Compiz "upstream" of Beryl?
[04:03] <ice_cream> k, i'm out.. no more of this foolishness =)
[04:04] <ice_cream> m4n, try #debian for more input
[04:04] <PhilK> vcrobe: did it create the right symlink in /usr/src?  I've had it fail to do that (ls -l /usr/src)
[04:04] <vcrobe> PhilK: what I'm doing is a code generator for my compiler so I've to use the include "/usr/include/linux/elf.h"
[04:04] <sortadi> I need help installing Automatix on my ubuntu hoary
[04:04] <daedalus_> crusoe: yup. sounds about right
[04:04] <crusoe> perfect, thanks!
[04:04] <jrib> sortadi: you should upgrade your ubuntu version, hoary is no longer supported
[04:04] <Dr_willis> genii,  give people the most flexiable OS in the world.. and they want it to bend over backwards and THEN do a backflip.. while singing the theme song to Flipper...
[04:04] <vcrobe> PhilK: and that include, include those files
[04:04] <ice_cream> what's next ubuntu? fluffy fox or something?
[04:04] <Tonren> Dr_willis: But it has to be unobtrusive.
[04:04] <Tonren> Dr_willis: And easy to configure.
[04:05] <sortadi> jrib, I don't want to.  I don't know why Ubuntu doesn't
[04:05] <jrib> !automatix | sortadi
[04:05] <ubotu> sortadi: automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[04:05] <ice_cream> rausb0, ah, wouldve preferred 'fluffy fox' =P
[04:05] <jrib> sortadi: if you still really want it, try #automatix
[04:05] <Dr_willis> Tonren,  right. No 'learning' allowed!
[04:06] <jessie^^> hey guys?
[04:06] <ice_cream> rm -r *learning*
[04:06] <fruitbag> Hey all.
[04:06] <ice_cream> rm -r ice_cream
[04:06] <PirateHead> Hey fruitbag.
[04:06] <jessie^^> I've got (what I think is) a SATA DVD-RAM drive.
[04:06] <jessie^^> I can't burn CD's in ubuntu.
[04:06] <jessie^^> Anyone sussed out a workaround yet?
[04:06] <sortadi> ubotu, what's a fresh copy of ubuntu?
[04:07] <vjacob> sortadi: are you a user, a developer or a system administrator?
[04:07] <PirateHead> jessie^^: it's a shame that you can't burn CDs, but we need more information in order to help you. What version of Ubuntu? Any error messages? What program are you trying to use? Anything else that stands out?
[04:07] <sortadi> vjacob, a user
[04:07] <aldin> sortadi: that means that u get let's say 6.10 and instal it on formated partition
[04:07] <XiXaQ> sortadi, Ubotu is a bot. A fresh install is what you have immediately after installing the system.
[04:07] <mm2000> Anyone here that use apache+ssl ?
[04:07] <vjacob> sortadi: i just got 6.06 LTS on a cd
[04:08] <PhilK> vcrobe: what kernel are you running?
[04:08] <jessie^^> PirateHead: of course. It's Edgy Eft,  I've tried both the burner inside GNOME and k3b (for grits and shiggles), and k3b tells me that the OPC fails.
[04:08] <mm2000> http://pastebin.ca/391898 <-- can someone see what the problem may be?
[04:08] <vcrobe> PhilK: I'm using the version 6.10 of ubuntu
[04:08] <jessie^^> PirateHead: I'm also doing a fresh install in case I nerfed something by accident.
[04:08] <PhilK> what's the output of uname -r?
[04:09] <daedalus_> jessie^^, have you figured out which device the burner is attached to?
[04:09] <JuJuBee> I have a stupid newbie ? I have intel core 2 duo 2.13, should I be trying to install the 64-bit version of ubuntu?
[04:09] <vcrobe> PhilK: I haven't change anything because I'm a newbie in Linux
[04:09] <daedalus_> JuJuBee, Yes
[04:09] <[BTF] Chm0d> im using twinview but everytime i reboot i have to reconfigure it because the other monitor is disabled.  any suggestions?  http://pastebin.ca/391921
[04:09] <XiXaQ> mm2000, what is the problem?
[04:09] <vcrobe> PhilK: "generic"
[04:09] <jessie^^> daedalus_:
[04:09] <eck> JuJuBee: i would start with the 32 bit version -- a lot of people seem to have trouble with the 64 bit version (especially things like flash)
[04:10] <jessie^^> oops
[04:10] <JuJuBee> eck : ok, I am trying the 32 bit version, but cannot get it to install.
[04:10] <genii> mm2000 what sort of error you get from the webbrowser when it fails to connect?
[04:10] <eck> JuJuBee: whate exactly is the problem?
[04:10] <daedalus_> eck: ooh, good point.  JuJuBee: diregard what I said
[04:10] <aesiamun> Hello
[04:10] <GionnyBoss> I have problems with a VIA S3G Unichrome video card. Im on Ubuntu Edgy and its unusable... graphics is awful and very very slow. Can anybody help me, please?
[04:10] <vcrobe> PhilK: linux-headers-2.6.17-10-generic
[04:10] <PirateHead> jessie^^: I'm not familiar with the term OPC, but it seems that perhaps k3b was trying to determine the best write conditions and was unable to do so?
[04:11] <dxdemetriou> I think to buy an epson perfection 4990, it says to work complete but I don't know if it needs extra configuration the sane with ubuntu. how can I find what scanner to take if not works?
[04:11] <vcrobe> PhilK: that was the package
[04:11] <PhilK> vcrobe: and what does your symlink in /usr/src point to (ls -l /usr/src)
[04:11] <JuJuBee> Seems to crash after loading the kernel while splash screen is up.  Get error about BusyBox v1.1.3....
[04:11] <jessie^^> PirateHead: yes, the optimum power calibration.
[04:11] <JuJuBee> I tried acpi=off in boot params.
[04:11] <jessie^^> dxdemetriou: may I recommend an HP :)
[04:11] <vcrobe> PhilK: I don't know what you're talking about
[04:11] <JuJuBee> Brings me to a prompt (initramfs)
[04:11] <vcrobe> PhilK: I'm new in linuc
[04:12] <vcrobe> linux
[04:12] <jessie^^> I <3 my HP. works right out of the box in ubuntu. even the fax capability.
[04:12] <daedalus_> jessie^^: what happens if you use cdrecord on the commandline?
[04:12] <vcrobe> PhilK: I come from Windows
[04:12] <PhilK> vcrobe: at the term type ls -l /usr/src/
[04:12] <dxdemetriou> jessie^^, Is there hp scanner? I found only multifunction
[04:12] <jessie^^> dxdemetriou: I have a multifunction... but yes, HP makes scanners
[04:12] <PhilK> vcrobe: it's ok, you'll catch the hang of it eventually, it's quite a bit different :)
[04:12] <[BTF] Chm0d> can someone give me a hand using twinview?
[04:12] <vcrobe> PhilK: OK
[04:12] <eck> JuJuBee: weird, did you leave the CD in to see if it would continue loading?
[04:12] <daedalus_> [BTF] Chm0d, Woould if I could. Dunno anything about it.
[04:12] <grout> can someone look at this and help me out? http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2285858#post2285858
[04:12] <[BTF] Chm0d> hehe
[04:13] <dxdemetriou> jessie^^, what model do you have? :)
[04:13] <[BTF] Chm0d> thx for at least acknowledging me
[04:13] <vcrobe> PhilK: Thanx for your patient
[04:13] <JuJuBee> eck : does not continue
[04:13] <[BTF] Chm0d> dont even get that half the time
[04:13] <PhilK> vcrobe: does linux point to linux-headers-2.6.17-10? or to linux-headers-2.6.17-10-generic?
[04:14] <jessie^^> dxdemetriou: I have an HP OfficeJet 4315v All-In-One (fax/copy/print/scan) and I can report that all of these features work beautifully in edgy... right out of the box. even the system using the fax printer.
[04:14] <eck> JuJuBee: I would try the alternate installer
[04:14] <jessie^^> dxdemetriou: the scanner also works with the gnome scan application should you wish to use that as well
[04:14] <eck> I think you need to have the disks already partitioned for that, though
[04:14] <genii> jessie^^: Yes, HP has always been very linux-friendly :)
[04:15] <JuJuBee> That poses a problem...
[04:15] <[BTF] Chm0d> is there an nvidia channel on freenode?
[04:15] <JuJuBee> 6.06 wont boot either.
[04:15] <apokryphos> [BTF] Chm0d: guess where it would be ;-)
[04:15] <jessie^^> genii: I really love this all in one. best purchase I've ever made
[04:16] <eck> JuJuBee: there is a gparted live cd
[04:16] <[BTF] Chm0d> :)
[04:16] <PirateHead> [BTW] Chm0d: seriously, try the first thing that comes to mind.
[04:16] <genii> jessie^^: Cool :)
[04:16] <[BTF] Chm0d> i did :P
[04:16] <JuJuBee> Ieck : I will try it then.

[04:16] <JuJuBee> bad fingers...
[04:16] <CVirus> isn't there a sketch board plugin for linux's skype ?
[04:17] <CVirus> or even an equivelant
[04:17] <Lynoure> CVirus: it's skype's skype, even though it is for Linux. If it is missing something you want, ask Skype to add that feature
[04:17] <genii> Like, a whiteboard idea?
[04:18] <CVirus> Lynoure: the feature is not available in linux's skype
[04:18] <Lynoure> CVirus: it's not open source, unfortunately, so we cannot add that feature if we wanted to.
[04:18] <CVirus> Lynoure: you've never answered my question so far by the way
[04:19] <CVirus> i need an equivelant
[04:19] <PirateHead> CVirus: what sort of answer are you looking for? There is no sketch board plugin, and Lynoure can't write one because it's not open source.
[04:19] <CVirus> isn't there a freakin' equivelant ?
[04:20] <[BTF] Chm0d> LOL 81 users in #nvidia and its dead as a door nail
[04:20] <CVirus> that's what I'm asking about
[04:20] <Narag> Hello, i need help getting write rights on a NTFS partition on LiveCD
[04:20] <Lynoure> CVirus: An equivelant will not work with skype because the skype protocol is closed.
[04:20] <jessie^^> Does anyone know if Feisty will have the latest alsa?
[04:21] <PirateHead> Sorry about that, [BTF] Chm0d
[04:21] <daedalus_> CVirus: google is your friend. At the very least, thousands of Comp Sci seniors around the country have programmed one for one class or another.
[04:21] <[BTF] Chm0d> hey not your problem :)
[04:21] <dxdemetriou> the hp scanners works with hplibs toolbox and not with sane, or works with sane too?
[04:21] <[BTF] Chm0d> was to be expected anywho
[04:21] <jessie^^> dxdemetriou: it works with sane
[04:21] <daedalus_> CVirus: and by 'one' I mean a dist whiteboard application. Not a skype whiteboard plugin :)

[04:24] <foobar3000> tarzeau: which program would i use to do that?
[04:25] <derek_> Hi
[04:25] <[BTF] Chm0d> hmm Galga 256 maybe?  Not sure
[04:25] <derek_> How can I find out the version of the software that I am going to install by apt-get?
[04:25] <PirateHead> Narag: if you need additional tutorial information, Google suggests this HOWTO: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009
[04:25] <tarzeau> foobar3000: lftp
[04:25] <daviey> Lynoure, either a way to config apache or an application.  Google aint turning up much
[04:26] <Galga> [BTF] Chm0d ok, 256 is available. thanks
[04:26] <Lynoure> daviey: Cosmo is a bit annoying in some ways, and does not exist packaged, I think. But it's easy to install and works.
[04:26] <[BTF] Chm0d> np
[04:26] <daviey> der0b, apt-get show appname
[04:26] <daviey> der0b, thats aptitude actually
[04:27] <daviey> Lynoure, cosmo it is then.  Thanks
[04:27] <derek_> ok
[04:27] <vcrobe> PhilK: How I can talk to you in private?
[04:27] <PirateHead> daviey: you should be directing comments at derek_, I think. =D
[04:27] <dxdemetriou> jessie^^, thanks for help. I asked because I saw some products supported by hplibs but not with sane. anyway, I'll search more with the google friend :)
[04:28] <daviey> PirateHead, grr tab key
[04:28] <dyrne> derek_: apt-cache show packagename   will give some info.
[04:28] <PhilK> vcrobe: you should see a new chat opened up on the side with my name
[04:28] <jessie^^> dxdemetriou: glad I could help, sweetheart :)
[04:28] <PhilK> vcrobe: kind of depends on the irc client :\
[04:29] <vcrobe> PhilK: but I get an error that say "private messages from unregistered users are currently blocked"
[04:29] <PirateHead> vcrobe: what IRC client are you using?
[04:29] <vcrobe> mIRC from Windows
[04:29] <kaktuskatta> Hi folks! I'm finally through with the installation of Ubuntu on my system ! Weee!
[04:29] <jessie^^> vcrobe: you need to register
[04:29] <derek_> dyrne, ok
[04:29] <Huffalump> kaktuskatta!
[04:29] <PirateHead> vcrobe: in mIRC it's really easy. Just double click on their name.
[04:29] <Huffalump> you survived!
[04:29] <kaktuskatta> Huffalump: :D:D
[04:30] <jessie^^> PirateHead: he's not registered with NickServ.
[04:30] <Huffalump> kaktuskatta - now you need to install Beryl!
[04:30] <jessie^^> PirateHead: he needs to be registered before he can /msg you.
[04:30] <derek_> dyrne, it shows the info on the package but not the version
[04:30] <vcrobe> PirateHead: OK, thanx. I'll try right now
[04:30] <derek_> I want to find out which version is going to be installed
[04:30] <kaktuskatta> Huffalump: I finished late last night. Lot's of work, but all in all quite smooth :(
[04:30] <kaktuskatta> sorry, :)
[04:30] <vcrobe> jessie^^: And How I can be registered?
[04:30] <mneptok> derek_: aptitude show $packagename
[04:31] <genii> !register | vcrobe
[04:31] <ubotu> vcrobe: Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[04:31] <Huffalump> kaktuskatta - Have you seen Beryl?  I just installed it like 24 hours ago.  Come to #ubuntu-effects
[04:31] <kronoman_> any help with fsck errors ?
[04:31] <dyrne> derek_: hmm not on ubuntu right now.. you can simulate the install like sudo apt-get isntall package -s   might tell you   or check packages.ubuntu.com
[04:31] <kaktuskatta> Anyhow: I need help with my ext. HDD. I want to write to it logged in as the default user, but I'm not allowed to, because I'm not the owner....
[04:31] <vcrobe> ubotu: Thanx. My problem is that I'm new in all this. Thanx
[04:32] <derek_> I found it
[04:32] <kaktuskatta> How can I fix this?
[04:32] <derek_> apt-cache showpkg packagename
[04:32] <derek_> thanks
[04:32] <mneptok> derek_: oh, if you haven't used aptitude before, "sudo aptitude update && aptitude show $packagename"
[04:32] <kaktuskatta> How do I give such permission to the default user?
[04:32] <derek_> ok
[04:32] <derek_> thanks
[04:32] <c0nv1ct> kaktuskatta: is the external HDD formatted as NTFS?
[04:33] <mneptok> kaktuskatta: how is the external drive formatted?
[04:33] <mneptok> heh.
[04:33] <hume> is there a way for me in ubuntu to have a nested x-server within or "on top of" the current session?
[04:33] <derek_> exit
[04:33] <doomster> hume, tried xnest?
[04:33] <hume> doomster, nope.
[04:34] <doomster> hume, also, you can start another X login manager on a different virtual terminal, in case that does what you need.
[04:34] <mneptok> ^^ far easier ^^
[04:34] <kaktuskatta> mneptok: ext2
[04:35] <hume> doomster, that's what I normally do, but would prefer nested....you know if xnest gives me option of rotating the window 90 degrees?
[04:35] <mneptok> kaktuskatta: nice. /msg me the output of "df -h" (no quotes) with that drive plugged in.
[04:35] <dazjorz> Hi
[04:35] <doomster> hume: no idea, I never used it myself. ;)
[04:35] <dazjorz> A while ago, I modified my taskbars to be transparant and stuff, but now I'd like the original Ubuntu colors back
[04:35] <dazjorz> how do I do thaT?
[04:35] <dazjorz> that*
[04:36] <dazjorz> I'm not sure what the hex was anymore.
[04:36] <hume> doomster, you happen to know how to run xnest....?
[04:36] <doomster> nope, sorry, hume.
[04:36] <hume> ok, thx
[04:37] <dazjorz> could anybody give me the default hex code for the color of the taskbar?
[04:37] <Rooy> dazjorz: you can change it to use System theme, it will look consistent with other things
[04:38] <dazjorz> Rooy: oh, okay, I'll search for that :)
[04:39] <fbc> I'l trying to create the ubuntu equivalent of a natch file. Will this work? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10022/
[04:40] <fbc> (opps typos) I'm trying to create the ubuntu equivalent of a batch file. Will this work? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10022/
[04:40] <kronoman_> hey, I get in boot this error
[04:40] <c0nv1ct> fbc: sure it should
[04:40] <kronoman_>  Error writing block 24583 (Attempt to write block from filesystem resulted in short write) while doing inode scan.  Ignore error? yes
[04:40] <dazjorz> Rooy: It doesn't change my taskbar ... :/
[04:40] <kronoman_> what I do?
[04:40] <doomster> fbc, if you 'chmod +x' it it should work.
[04:40] <frtmonster> how can i know what is my ext3 linux partition? (hda-what)
[04:41] <fbc> doomster,  thanx, I think that is what I was missing..
[04:41] <c0nv1ct> frtmonster: 'fdisk -l
[04:41] <doomster> frtmonster, 'fdisk  -l /dev/hda'
[04:41] <frtmonster> linux has fdisk?
[04:41] <dyrne> frtmonster: sudo fdisk -l
[04:41] <c0nv1ct> of course
[04:41] <frtmonster> ok
[04:41] <PirateHead> fartmonster, that's an awesome nick. </offtopic>
[04:41] <frtmonster> i thought it's windows heritage:p
[04:41] <gesus> hey where is a good place to find linux drivers? i have a motherboard which is not giving me onboard sound, a graphics card which is not giving me tvout and a printer which isn't printing very well.  also my mouse back/forward buttons aren't working.  these things make ubuntu less attractive to the windows convertee..
[04:41] <doomster> don't worry, it isn't as bad as the one from DOS times
[04:41] <frtmonster> PirateHead, thanks, it wasn't meant to be fart, but people do have imagination:)
[04:41] <Rooy> dazjorz: i'm out of idea then; btw, its name is gnome-panel
[04:42] <dazjorz> Rooy: I know :)
[04:42] <foobar3000> is there a way to tell wget to download to the current directory?
[04:42] <Huffalump> Every time Ubuntu updates some software, I keep getting vmware probing for networks... repeatedly.  How can I change this behavior to either auto-approve the prob requests or (if its my only choice) disable the auto-probe)?
[04:42] <thestriker> the videos i watch are restricted to a size..they dont become FULLSCREEN
[04:42] <foobar3000> instead of creating a new directory when your doing it recursively?
[04:42] <dazjorz> Rooy: do you still have the original taskbar?
[04:43] <Rooy> dazjorz: yeah, i left it as default, no color tweaking
[04:43] <dyrne> gesus: those are individual problems.  the mouse thing isnt a driver issue just config
[04:43] <dyrne> !nvidia| gesus
[04:43] <ubotu> gesus: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:43] <dazjorz> Rooy: could you give me the hex code?
[04:43] <frtmonster> great, now how can i know what is mount to hda3?
[04:43] <frtmonster> mounted*
[04:44] <dazjorz> frtmonster: `mount`
[04:44] <Rooy> dazjorz: i select the None ( use System color) radio button
[04:44] <frtmonster> thanks
[04:44] <jaycie> can someone tell me the name of the solitaire thats in ubunutu? i cant find it.. lost the os
[04:44] <fbc> doomster, it said sorry the program bogofilter closed unexpectedly.. Is that related un unrealted to the batch file? And I supposed to run the command with sudo?
[04:44] <thestriker> any help?
[04:44] <Rooy> dazjorz: and my color (if i know it that is) won't look native on your theme
[04:44] <vcrobe> PhilK: I get your private messages but you can't receive my messages :-(
[04:44] <Huffalump> jaycie, you lost the operating system?
[04:44] <doomster> fbc, what is 'it'?
[04:45] <jaycie> Huffalump i could not get ubunutu on a diff system but still working on it
[04:45] <thestriker> how to watch fullscreen videos?
[04:45] <PhilK> vcrobe: did you register?  i'm not much help on this side of it since i'm actually new to irc :\
[04:45] <gesus> dyme: ok i will address these one by one thanks mate
[04:45] <kronoman_> thestriker: in Xine, just press F
[04:45] <vcrobe> PhilK: me 2
[04:45] <wizo> hey, what tools do i have to install to be able to use "make" and stuff?
[04:45] <fbc> doomster,  I run that file to teach "bogofilter" what spam in evolution is.
[04:46] <jaycie> ops i have to go bbl
[04:46] <preaction> wizo: build-essential
[04:46] <wizo> ah thanks
[04:46] <vcrobe> PhilK: No, I'll see how to register myself
[04:46] <thestriker> kronoman_, the video size remains the same with the background darker
[04:46] <thestriker> *not darker..BLACK
[04:46] <PhilK> !register | vcrobe
[04:46] <ubotu> vcrobe: Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[04:46] <kronoman_> thestriker: you got me then, I don't know
[04:47] <thestriker> kronoman_, i get everybody..ur not the 1st
[04:47] <vcrobe> PhilK: where I have to write that?
[04:47] <vcrobe> PhilK: right here?
[04:47] <vcrobe> PhilK: I mean, in this window?
[04:47] <PhilK> vcrobe: yeah, that works fine
[04:47] <vcrobe> !register | vcrobe
[04:47] <doomster> fbc, I'b using 'bogofilter -p -e -u' with kmail here, check the manpages if it makes a difference
[04:47] <PhilK> heeheh, no follow the link and the instructions
[04:48] <vcrobe> PhilK: ah ok
[04:48] <fbc> doomster, ok.. thanx will do..
[04:49] <NET||abuse> hey guys,, my test box in my office keeps jumping onto the dhcp range despite me having set /etc/network/interfaces to iface eth0 inet static
[04:49] <NET||abuse> how can i stop it jumping onto the dhcp ip range?
[04:50] <Rooy> NET||abuse: can you try "sudo ifconfig eth0 down" then "sudo ifconfig eth0 up"?
[04:50] <NET||abuse> ok, one sec
[04:51] <kronoman_> there is a GUI tool for fsck ?
[04:51] <kronoman_> or is just a stupid idea ?
[04:51] <kronoman_> maybe would be cool to code one
[04:51] <Pici> kronoman_: Not that I'm aware of
[04:51] <adminx> test
[04:51] <kronoman_> because when ubuntu crashes , it lets you hang down in a text mode only thing
[04:51] <rly> hey
[04:51] <kronoman_> not very user friendly
[04:51] <ardchoille> kronoman_: There are things that a gui would be simply a waste. I wouldn't install a gui for fsck since it's so easy to use it in a term.
[04:51] <rly> is there anything like soulseek for linux?
[04:52] <Peggerr> does anyone know of a program that I can have clients install as a wrapper that will check say weekely to see if there are updates to a installed software program, I am looking for mulitipule os's linux, win, mac
[04:52] <NET||abuse> ok, ifconfig reports the ip still is <IP_ADDRESS>, whereas before it was jumping to another ip
[04:52] <kronoman_> ardchoille: I was thinking about grandma user, ie; if she finds a error at boot, I'm not sure that she will use fsck to fix it
[04:52] <pibarnas> Hi folks, I just upgraded my kernel to the latest one, but network stop working... my config is herehttp://pastebin.com/897691. Any ideas??:
[04:53] <ardchoille> kronoman_: If there's an error at boot.. how is she gonna run X to use a gui app?
[04:53] <wizo> how do i set the kernel path?
[04:53] <ailean> what can i do about the "another synaptic is running" message?
[04:53] <kronoman_> ardchoille: got me
[04:54] <kronoman_> ardchoille: maybe a ncurses menu
[04:54] <bullgard1> One can configure Midnight commander so that it displays in the right-hand halfdetailed information about a highlighted file in the left-hand half. Thisincludes3 date & times (below 'size'). What are the names/identifiers of these 3 dates &times in English?
[04:54] <ardchoille> kronoman_: That might not be a bad idea
[04:54] <kronoman_> ardchoille: something like Norton Utilities
[04:54] <ardchoille> Yeah
[04:54] <kronoman_> remember, from the DOS days?
[04:54] <shmeelAway> hi, i have external speakers and i want to have hotkeys to turn up/down the volume for that, but idk how, right now the hotkeys just change the volume for my built in speakers can anyone help?
[04:54] <kronoman_> maybe with recover functions and such
[04:54] <mojo> tlepes@alembic:/usr/bin $ sudo chmod +X --verbose  ./smbmnt
[04:54] <mojo> mode of `./smbmnt' retained as 0755 (rwxr-xr-x)
[04:54] <mojo>  ?!?! What gives guys?  Ideas?
[04:55] <Rooy> ailean: check if apt-get, aptitude or update-manager is running if you're sure there's no other synaptic
[04:55] <Rooy> mojo: chmod +x with small x
[04:55] <Gurpartap> how do u set an icon to a custom "starter" in gdesklets starter bar?
[04:55] <Gurpartap> :-)
[04:55] <MrBaia> hi
[04:55] <mojo> Rooy: I am trying to let it run setuid root
[04:55] <kronoman_> ardchoille: I have my lunch break, I will be back... I will about this "Nort*** err Ubuntu Utilities"
[04:55] <kronoman_> maybe I can code something
[04:56] <MrBaia> hi
[04:56] <Rooy> mojo: sorry, didn't know what was the question
[04:56] <preaction> mojo: iirc, setuid is +s
[04:56] <MrBaia> somebody knows somethings aboout fast os switching?
[04:56] <ailean> Rooy, none of those are running
[04:56] <mojo> Rooy: oh, okay.  I was reading man chmod and thought it was big X...  i'll try that +s then
[04:56] <preaction> MrBaia: fast os switching? or virtualization?
[04:57] <Rooy> ailean: try lsof /var/cache/apt/archives/lock
[04:57] <MrBaia> virtualization:|
[04:57] <MrBaia> :D
[04:57] <MrBaia> i have seen on youtube
[04:57] <preaction> !anyone | MrBaia
[04:57] <ubotu> MrBaia: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[04:57] <wizo> how do i know what's my kernel path so i can set it?
[04:57] <assasukasse> how can i put an usb disk on ubuntu
[04:57] <mojo> Rooy: it took, but i think i set the 'sticky" bit, not the setuid bit.  i suppose i can test it, though.
[04:57] <MrBaia> ok ubotu
[04:57] <Gurpartap> anyone using gDesktlets ??
[04:57] <MrBaia> my question is
[04:57] <aimee> i need adobe flash downloaded it but cant get it to install
[04:58] <preaction> wizo: what do you mean by kernel path? you want the initrd? you want the kernel headers?
[04:58] <Gurpartap> s/gDestklets/gDesklets
[04:58] <Gurpartap> oops :P
[04:58] <MrBaia> wich program i need for make a os switch like a video on youtube?!(bad english:()
[04:58] <ailean> thanks Rooy, but no :(
[04:59] <Rooy> ailean: sorry, that should be sudo  lsof /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[04:59] <ailean> Rooy, think I'll have to reboot
[04:59] <ailean> ahh
[04:59] <preaction> MrBaia: the current defacto standard for virtual machines is vmware. you're going to need a whole lot of reading before you understand how VMs work and how to use vmware server
[04:59] <aimee> what command do i type in to install adobe flash
[05:00] <ailean> Rooy, still no.  I'll reboot
[05:00] <aimee> because the one on adobes site didnt work
[05:00] <ailean> cheers
[05:00] <Gurpartap> sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[05:00] <Gurpartap> aimee, ^^
[05:00] <Rooy> ailean: ok then :(
[05:00] <chris2077> nonfree?
[05:00] <wizo> preaction, the kernel headers, i did a apt-cache search but it only has kernel headsers for 2.4.*
[05:00] <preaction> mojo: read man chmod. "s" sets the setuid bit, but you need to specify "user" or "group", so it'd be chmod u+s
[05:00] <Gurpartap> chris2077, that's it.
[05:01] <aimee> tyvm gurpartap

[05:02] <doomster> 'top' or 'htop', frtmonster
[05:02] <frtmonster> doomster,  what's the diff
[05:03] <Rooy> frtmonster htop can scroll, top can't
[05:03] <adminx> Have you tried dpkg-reconfigure
[05:03] <CapriCoRN^80> hi how can i configure Ambient soft modem on ubuntu edby
[05:03] <doomster> frtmonster, 'htop' is better, but also consider 'ps' which is typically available
[05:03] <CapriCoRN^80> hi how can i configure Ambient soft modem on ubuntu edgy ?
[05:03] <Rooy> that's in htop description, haven't used it though

[05:06] <Gurpartap> Stormx2, if you use starter desklet, how do you apply an icon to a custom created starter?
[05:06] <frtmonster> u guys use anything different than firefox to surf? maybe something faster?
[05:06] <exspecto> try the pipelining feature
[05:06] <floris84> you could try swiftfox, it's optimised for your processor
[05:06] <Rooy> frtmonster: i use opera browser (not free software)
[05:07] <Gurpartap> Stormx2, any idea?
[05:07] <exspecto> anyone else using feisty right now?
[05:07] <floris84> nope
[05:07] <exspecto> doesn't seem much different
[05:07] <floris84> sorry, that was a lame response
[05:07] <frtmonster> swiftfox floris84 ?
[05:07] <Rooy> exspecto: there's #ubuntu+1 for development version
[05:07] <doomster> konqueror is also a decent browser, the smallest I know is dillo
[05:07] <floris84> it's firefox but optimised for your processor
[05:07] <floris84> it's a little faster
[05:08] <Stormx2> shmeelAway: Sounds like you need to set your default alsa device...
[05:08] <Gurpartap> lynx :P
[05:08] <floris84> http://getswiftfox.com/releases.htm
[05:08] <Stormx2> Gurpartap: No, sorry.
[05:08] <Gurpartap> ok np
[05:08] <shmeelAway> stormx2 how? just in system-preferences-sound?
[05:09] <Stormx2> shmeelAway: Possibly, not sure. Ask in #alsa ?

[05:13] <foutrelis> Voyagerg: sudo su
[05:13] <Stormx2> Could someone please recommend to me a nice audio recording/editing suite, like Apple's "garage band"?
[05:14] <CapriCoRN^80> wat should i do ?
[05:14] <craigbass1976> Stormx2, aurdor?
[05:14] <foutrelis> Voyagerg: Althought you should not use root often. Only for administrative tasks
[05:14] <Slart> Stormx2: I don't know what apples product is like but you could try audacity
[05:14] <Stormx2> ill check it out
[05:14] <craigbass1976> Stormx2, reminds me of Cool edit, but I'm still messing with it.
[05:14] <profXavier> morning
[05:14] <Stormx2> <3 cool edit
[05:14] <Stormx2> xD
[05:14] <Voyagerg> foutrelis: yes, but using sudo su I need to know the root passwd, I want that a normal user, can be root using her passwd
[05:15] <craigbass1976> Stormx2, what?
[05:15] <exspecto> audacity not what you're looking for?
[05:15] <vcrobe> PhilK: Do you have some messenger like yahoo?
[05:15] <Stormx2> craigbass1976: I love cool edit. Is aurdor in the repos?
[05:15] <Stormx2> !info aurdor
[05:15] <foutrelis> Voyagerg: You can issue sudo su and use your user password
[05:15] <ubotu> Package aurdor does not exist in edgy, edgy-backports, edgy-seveas
[05:15] <Peggerr> Voyagerg, doing sudo su does not make you know the root password
[05:15] <CapriCoRN^80> i m using command sudo apt-get install xchat on ubuntu edgy but its not working
[05:15] <CapriCoRN^80> wat should i do ?
[05:16] <funpop> which one of these values is the size of the icons in the tray ? --> gtk-icon-sizes = "gtk-large-toolbar=16,16:panel-menu=16,16:gtk-button=16,16:gtk-dialog=16,16:gtk-menu=16,16"
[05:16] <Peggerr> CapriCoRN^80, what does apt-cache search xchat give you
[05:16] <craigbass1976> Stormx2, oh, ok.  Yes, but I dont' remember which one.  The rub is that you have to also install jack.  In Fedora, I installed both and was god to go, but in Ubuntu I find that I have to start jack manually, then start ardour.
[05:16] <CapriCoRN^80> xchat Depends tcl 8.4
[05:16] <CapriCoRN^80> but it is not installable
[05:16] <craigbass1976> good to go, not god to go (ever heard of drive through god?)
[05:16] <CapriCoRN^80> broken packages
[05:17] <CapriCoRN^80> Peggerr: the above msgs i got
[05:17] <Stormx2> CapriCoRN^80: First, try sudo apt-get update
[05:17] <Flosoft> hey
[05:17] <CapriCoRN^80> how much will it take ?
[05:17] <blue|palm>  Hi, can anyone tell me if OO 2.1 is in the ubuntu repos yet? Or must i download it from the OO website?
[05:17] <Stormx2> CapriCoRN^80: What?
[05:17] <Flosoft> I have a problem ... my laptop doesn't seem to recognise my SD Cardreader
[05:17] <Stormx2> CapriCoRN^80: Was that directed at me?
[05:17] <craigbass1976> Stormx2, and there's some permission issue too that I haven't looked into much.  I can only run it as the first user account I set up (the one you set up during install)
[05:17] <Stormx2> !oo
[05:17] <Flosoft> it's an internal in my laptop
[05:17] <Peggerr> CapriCoRN^80, yaha sounds pretty broken
[05:17] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about oo - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:17] <CapriCoRN^80> yes

[05:17] <Flosoft> 02:04.1 CardBus bridge: Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c476 II (rev ac)
[05:18] <dyrne> CapriCoRN^80: it will only update the cached information for the sources.list wont install anything
[05:18] <Stormx2> CapriCoRN^80: Run it. It won't install anything. "sudo apt-get update" (without the quotes)
[05:18] <CapriCoRN^80> how much time sudo apt-get update will take ?
[05:18] <Stormx2> Not long, okay?
[05:18] <Peggerr> CapriCoRN^80, oha you have not run apt-get update
[05:18] <Peggerr> CapriCoRN^80, apt-get update does not take long
[05:19] <CapriCoRN^80> ok after it will finish then ic an install the packages i want ?
[05:19] <NET||abuse> hmm, this is really not straight forward,, i need a way to configure a vpn into our office that is simple enough to get windows clients hooked into, i'm finding it very un straight forward to use openvpn with a windows desktop, requiring some kind of extra vpn command line junk that my end users wont want to even see
[05:19] <CapriCoRN^80> like xchat etc

[05:19] <Peggerr> CapriCoRN^80, the install working now?
[05:19] <Stormx2> CapriCoRN^80: You can try.
[05:20] <CapriCoRN^80> yea its working
[05:20] <wcarey> why can i not register on the forums for www.ubuntuforums.com?
[05:20] <Peggerr> CapriCoRN^80, oha good
[05:20] <CapriCoRN^80> sudo apt-get update is in process
[05:21] <Stormx2> Ewww what the heck? Audacity is gtk1?
[05:21] <CheshireViking> blue|palm, looks like the openoffice in the repo's is version 2.0.4 - http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/editors/openoffice.org
[05:21] <CapriCoRN^80> so after that i can use apt-get install xchat to install xchat ?
[05:21] <blue|palm> CheshireViking: thanks
[05:21] <Joost> test
[05:21] <blue|palm> CheshireViking: I was just hoping that there would be a 2.1 in the repos)
[05:22] <craigbass1976> blue|palm, what's 2.1 got that you need?
[05:22] <Peggerr> NET||abuse, what part of openvpn is it that you dont like,  the install should be pretty stright foward
[05:22] <dyrne> CapriCoRN^80: yeah.  bear in mind all of this can be done from gui as well. im not familiar with synaptic though
[05:22] <CheshireViking> blue|palm, I can't check mine, i'm in work running on windows at the minute
[05:22] <Flosoft> !sd
[05:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:22] <bullgard1> My Midnight commander displays in the right-hand  half detailed information about a highlighted file in the left-hand half. This includes 3 times (below 'size'). What are the names/identifiers of these 3 times in English?
[05:22] <Flosoft> !cardreader
[05:22] <CapriCoRN^80> actually i use suse ..just installed ubuntu
[05:22] <blue|palm> craigbass1976: well i always like to be in the newest version possible, and ive read a few of the bug fixes actually impact what i use OO for...
[05:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cardreader - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:23] <kaktuskatta> !cardreader
[05:23] <NET||abuse> Peggerr, they seem to go on about this ease of distribution to clients, but i'm not seeing it, they discuss writing config files and connecting over command line in windows,, now how un gui is that lark,
[05:23] <Flosoft> anyone able to help me?
[05:23] <kaktuskatta> Flosoft:  I think we share that problem :)
[05:23] <craigbass1976> blue|palm, such as?  I've not been following the updates and am curious.
[05:23] <Permand> anyone from Denmark able to give some help about partiotion in Ubuntu?
[05:23] <Peggerr> NET
[05:23] <CapriCoRN^80> Permand : u from denmark ?
[05:24] <Peggerr> NET||abuse, there is a gui for windows  http://openvpn.se/
[05:24] <blue|palm> craigbass1976: well font fixes, and a couple of other things
[05:24] <Flosoft> kaktuskatta: have you also got an cardreader in your laptop which doesn't work?
[05:24] <Permand> yes
[05:24] <craigbass1976> Denmark Maine?  That's not even an our from here, does that count?
[05:24] <Cc2iscooL> What's a good program for managing multiple wireless connections (such as one at home and one at work) under KDE? (Edgy, I'm kind of searching through Synaptic but there are a lot of choices, can anyone recommend one?)
[05:24] <kaktuskatta> yup ;)
[05:24] <CapriCoRN^80> Permand : is education still free there ?
[05:24] <blue|palm> craigbass1976: there was one main fix i was impressed with, but i read the review a while back so i cant remember too clearly
[05:24] <Flosoft> kaktuskatta: have you got any clues?
[05:24] <NET||abuse> Peggerr, all it has is http proxy or socks proxy,, i'm not looking to root all web traffic over this link, i just want a tunnel into the testbed /file server box in the office
[05:24] <systemd0wn_> any time i run synaptic no matter what package i install or uninstall or dpkg upgrade its "setting up exim4-config" and hans forever.
[05:25] <Permand> CapriCoRN^80: yes, i'm from Denmark
[05:25] <CapriCoRN^80> Permand : is education still free there ?
[05:25] <bigdad1e> can i get help from someone? im new to ubuntu and have a few questions
[05:25] <craigbass1976> blue|palm, the bigest thing I was worried about was dbase, and as long as I don't use CentOS I seem to be all set (unless I want to install manually, which actually wasn't much of a chore at all, but a chore nontheless)
[05:25] <kaktuskatta> Flosoft:the only thing I could come up with is NDISWRAPPER, but I'm a newbie so I don't know how to use it. I've just heard that it's possible
[05:25] <Flosoft> hmm
[05:25] <craigbass1976> bigdad1e, what's up?
[05:25] <Peggerr> NET||abuse, you are kidn of hard to follow, are you saiing that you just want to use a routed and not bridged connection?
[05:26] <blue|palm> craigbass1976: I see :)
[05:26] <bigdad1e> my mozilla wont let me scroll smoothly.. agravating.. and my computer keeps kicking me off my remote desktop
[05:26] <dyrne> bigdad1e: just address the question to the room somone will answer
[05:26] <dyrne> bigdad1e: nm :)
[05:26] <Permand> CapriCoRN^80: Yes, i'm studying at Technical University of Denmark and it's still free like all the others
[05:27] <craigbass1976> bigdad1e, Where are you connecting from/to
[05:27] <CapriCoRN^80> Permand : nice
[05:27] <bigdad1e> what do u mean?
[05:27] <CapriCoRN^80> can u paste me its link in pvt
[05:28] <craigbass1976> bigdad1e, I don't understand the kicking off remote server part of your quesiton
[05:28] <maaks> hi
[05:28] <dyrne> Permand: well not free :) dont you guys average 68% income tax?
[05:28] <maaks> is there someone coding for ubuntu there ?
[05:28] <dyrne> Permand: cool place though
[05:28] <bigdad1e> not server i have 3 people on my desktop and when i try to do curtain things it makes me log in again
[05:29] <systemd0wn_> anyone know what this could be?  problems with exim4
[05:29] <jonsebolt> is anyone aware of the xorg.conf option "zaxismapping" and its appropriate syntax?
[05:29] <NET||abuse> Peggerr, well, a routed connection would be fine(it only allows access to the vpn host machine by the instructions I've read) and that's all i need for now, tough bridged would be nice in the future as there are 2 db servers i'd like access to later
[05:29] <NET||abuse> Peggerr, but the idea i see from openvpngui is that it wants to set a browser proxy? that's not what i'm after,
[05:29] <craigbass1976> bigdad1e, things like what?  Are they consistently the same things?
[05:29] <Witwolf> Hi, I've got a very weird problem when changing my network configuration from dhcp to static. Can anyone help. I think it could be a routing problem. Our Cisco router is in the following range 196.*.24.200/29. The router is on 201 my ubuntu server on 205 and the broadcast is 207. In dhcp it work fine but when I change to static I can only talk to the server, but the server can reach anything, not even the router.
[05:30] <Permand> dyrne: yes, very cool place..
[05:30] <bigdad1e> yes like try to turn off the screen saver things like that
[05:30] <Peggerr> NET||abuse, why would it need a proxy?
[05:31] <doomster> Witwolf, 196.*.24.200/29 already looks very weird!
[05:31] <Witwolf> I have followed the ubuntu guide and redone my setup with not luck.
[05:31] <Craeo> Screen resolution problem and of course it was the horizonal and vertical hertz that was the issue but now I manage to get my monitor to display 1024x768 but it seems somewhat distorded, small squiggly lines. Is there a fix?
[05:31] <craigbass1976> bigdad1e, every time you move the mouse to stop the screen saver, you have to re login?  is there anything else?  I don't necessarily know the answer, but hoping that getting more info will prompt someone else to pipe up when they think tey know
[05:31] <Witwolf> Ok it <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:31] <NET||abuse> Peggerr, that's what i'm saying, i don't want a proxy, but the gui that openvpngui provides just seems to be a proxy setup,,, so i need a way to configure just vpn functionality for windows desktops
[05:31] <NET||abuse> but I'm having a hard time getting there with openvpn
[05:32] <Witwolf> I guess theres no reason in hiding the ip
[05:32] <Lynoure> jonsebolt: Which section?
[05:32] <doomster> Witwolf, that's a registered range, not something to use for a LAN.
[05:32] <Lynoure> jonsebolt: mouse?
[05:32] <bigdad1e> no when i go to the system tab-scrrensaver and turn if off that way it lags then kicks me out
[05:32] <GionnyBoss> can anybody help me letting a VIA S3G Unichrome PRO integrated graphic card work with Ubuntu, please?
[05:32] <Witwolf> The server is on the cisco router which has a public range.
[05:32] <craigbass1976> Witwolf, no sense.  Everybody is going to hack you now, I heard them all running toward your ip... mwahaha
[05:32] <Lynoure> jonsebolt: And if you want more than general help, which mouse in specific?
[05:32] <doomster> Witwolf, reread the manual, I'm pretty sure it says 192.168 and not 196.212
[05:32] <Peggerr> NET||abuse, you mean becuase it is a gui on top of the command line openvpn
[05:32] <jonsebolt> Lynoure: yes. I am troubleshooting a scrolling issue, and I seem to recall that might be the option I am missing?
[05:33] <zzaappp> is there anyone here?
[05:33] <Witwolf> no it does not
[05:33] <Peggerr> NET||abuse, is that what you mean by proxy
[05:33] <craigbass1976> zzaappp, no, we're all bots
[05:33] <doomster> Witwolf, gimme the URL and I might be able to interpret some sense into it.
[05:33] <Craeo> GionnyBoss, what exactly is the problem?
[05:33] <Witwolf> url?
[05:33] <jonsebolt> Lynoure: Logitech laser (6000 I believe)
[05:34] <Lynoure> jonsebolt: I cannot tell as I am not sure what you recall and what not. But maybe this will help: http://ftp.x.org/pub/X11R6.9.0/doc/html/mouse5.html
[05:34] <Witwolf> url of what?
[05:34] <zzaappp> how do you use tar so that it picks up hidden files in the current directory, but doesn't recurse toward the root directory?
[05:34] <zzaappp> I want to tarball my home directory and all the hidden files (like .xinitrc, etc)
[05:34] <GionnyBoss> Craeo, scroll down and moving windows is too slow, unusable. Ubuntu doesnt recognise the card and put "vesa" driver, but its so slow
[05:34] <NET||abuse> Peggerr, i mean a http or socks proxy, maybe i need socks proxy, i don't know, but i only want a routed option here, i don't want all packets to go through the vpn, i want to maintain normal web traffic for the user otherwise,
[05:34] <doomster> Witwolf, URL of whatever you are using as istruction for setting up the notwork
[05:34] <jonsebolt> Lynoure: thanks. I'll check that out.
[05:34] <systemd0wn_> any time i run synaptic no matter what package i install or uninstall or dpkg upgrade its "setting up exim4-config" and hangs forever.
[05:34] <zzaappp> if I do a   %tar cvf /tmp/tarball.tar * .*
[05:34] <Witwolf> Well I can walk you thru it.
[05:34] <craigbass1976> zzaappp, to move to another box or something?
[05:34] <GionnyBoss> Craeo, I tryed dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org and select the via driver, but this way the x server doesnt start
[05:34] <Huffalump> How does one remove VMware player? It's driving me insane in Edgy.   sudo apt-get remove vmware-player --purge    ....does not work.
[05:34] <NET||abuse> Peggerr, it just seems weird, that it would be so convoluted to setup the client side of the vpn
[05:35] <Stormx2> zzaappp: Why not just *?
[05:35] <zzaappp> no, its not to move to another box; just want a backup that includes
[05:35] <Witwolf> Ubuntuguide.org
[05:35] <Stormx2> zzaappp: Have you rtfm?
[05:35] <zzaappp> using "*" doesn't get the hidden files
[05:35] <Witwolf> I think, and varoius other sources
[05:35] <felix> Hi all! I'm looking for a way to print out 64 documents at once.
[05:35] <zzaappp> storm:  yes, long ago
[05:35] <Witwolf> my routing tables is as such
[05:35] <bigdad1e> also how do i get steam to work on ubuntu?
[05:35] <Stormx2> felix: 64 printers?
[05:35] <zzaappp> even if I do a fancy copy, like % tar cvf - * | (cd /tmp;tar xvf -)
[05:35] <zzaappp> I still can't get the hidden files
[05:35] <craigbass1976> zzaappp, I just tarred the whole directory (/home/craig) and on the new box untarred it into the new /home/craig/ then mv craig/* ../
[05:36] <Peggerr> NET||abuse, I really dont see how it is convluted to set up the client, it is possible to make it very easy for the clients, click, install and run,  user/pass and you are in
[05:36] <Dr_willis> bigdad1e,  you use wine or cedega to run windows apps.
[05:36] <Craeo> Interesting, has VIA released any additional drivers?
[05:36] <Peggerr> NET||abuse, that is how I have mine set up
[05:36] <felix> Stormx2: Had a clown for breakfast?
[05:36] <bigdad1e> wine wont work says theres no system32 files or something of that sort
[05:36] <Huffalump> felix, you have 64 printers?
[05:36] <felix> OMG
[05:36] <felix> ^^
[05:36] <NET||abuse> Peggerr, hmm,ok, so i installed the gui,, what now? my server is running i've output the 4 files needed for the client
[05:37] <Dr_willis> bigdad1e,  i suggest checking out the wine forums and stuff for how to run steam properly on it then. or go try cedega.
[05:37] <Stormx2> ;)
[05:37] <Witwolf> well, ive setup the static with the ip, netmask, broadcast, network and gateway
[05:37] <felix> "I'm looking for a way to print out 64 documents at once."
[05:37] <zzaappp> craig:  did you look for hidden files?  you sure they copied over?
[05:37] <Dr_willis> bigdad1e,  theres several web sites with wine/game info/tips/guides
[05:37] <felix> But I found one already. Thanks! ;)
[05:37] <Huffalump> ;)
[05:37] <Stormx2> Heffalump? By god that's a good nick...
[05:37] <bigdad1e> thank you willis
[05:37] <Huffalump> Anyone know how to uninstall vmware player?
[05:37] <Craeo> GionnyBoss, For some reason when you use XServer to configure the xconf file, it changes your hori and vert hertz and I believe that's properly why your system won't boot back into X....
[05:37] <craigbass1976> zzaappp, yes, because my firefox, thunderbird, and xchat stuff all came.
[05:37] <Dr_willis> Huffalump,  sudo apt-get remove whatever
[05:37] <Witwolf> then the routing table gives me this :
[05:37] <bigdad1e> 1 more... how do i get my mozilla to scroll smoothly?
[05:38] <Witwolf> Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
[05:38] <Witwolf> <IP_ADDRESS>  *               <IP_ADDRESS> U     0      0        0 eth0
[05:38] <Witwolf> default         <IP_ADDRESS>  <IP_ADDRESS>         UG    0      0        0 eth0
[05:38] <chris2077> what is xubuntu?
[05:38] <zzaappp> strange.  its not getting the hidden files for me.
[05:38] <Huffalump> Anyone know how to uninstall vmware player when sudo apt-get remove vmware-player --purge  does not work?
[05:38] <Dr_willis> bigdad1e,  never noticed it not doing that...
[05:38] <craigbass1976> zzaappp, I might have zipped instead of tarred, but I think I tarred first.
[05:38] <Witwolf> That should be correct?
[05:38] <Dr_willis> Huffalump,  whats it not 'working' about?
[05:38] <Huffalump> dr_willis : it
[05:38] <Huffalump> 's not uninstalling
[05:38] <bigdad1e> so it does that for everyone?
[05:38] <GionnyBoss> Craeo, but I guess that the problem is the via driver, because if I do another dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and select "vesa" driver it works ...
[05:38] <colbert> What email clients does anyone here use or is Evolution the best???
[05:38] <Dr_willis> Huffalump,  so we gather.. any error messages? or somthing more detiled?
[05:38] <foobar3000> colbert: kmail
[05:38] <BigFishy> LOL Rob Levin is dead
[05:38] <GionnyBoss> Craeo, I tryed to change it manually too with the via driver. The point is that via driver doesnt work!
[05:38] <BigFishy> LAWL
[05:39] <BigFishy> LAWL Rob Levin is dead
[05:39] <BigFishy> and burning up in hell
[05:39] <Stormx2> BigFishy: Not here
[05:39] <BigFishy> Rob Levin went to hell, lol
[05:39] <fbc> colbert,  I use evolution... however getting it to work right with bogofilter is a pain, but once you do.. your pretty much set.
[05:39] <colbert> foobar3000: Is that for GNOME or KDE? I'm  using Ubuntu 6.10 with GNOME
[05:39] <BigFishy> Where then?
[05:39] <Craeo> Hmm, what chipset do you have and I will try and google it real quick
[05:39] <BigFishy> Where can I make fun of lilo?
[05:39] <BigFishy> Where can I make fun of lilo???
[05:39] <colbert> fbc: What's bogofilter?
[05:39] <Craeo> GionnyBoss, Hmm, what chipset do you have and I will try and google it real quick
[05:39] <bigdad1e> i want to get it to where mozilla scrolls like it does on windows
[05:39] <Cc2iscooL> bigdad1e: Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Smooth Scrolling?
[05:39] <bigdad1e> didnt work
[05:39] <fbc> colbert, evolution has no integrated spamfilter.. you have to use a thrid party app.

[05:40] <gesus> hi i downloaded drivers for my canon ip4200 from canon.com but it was just four .rpm files... what do i do with these??
[05:40] <Cc2iscooL> bigdad1e: Just tested here, and it works for me, though I don't like smooth scrolling either. ;)
[05:40] <fbc> colbert, it's better that spamassasin IMHO.
[05:40] <systemd0wn_> any time i run synaptic no matter what package i install or uninstall or dpkg upgrade its "setting up exim4-config" and hangs forever.
[05:40] <vcrobe> PhilK: How I can know where my Linux point?
[05:40] <Peggerr> NET||abuse, well I set mine up so that not everyone has a unique cert, only unique user/pass some consider it now secure enough but I the it is more then enough security
[05:40] <chris2077> in evolution, what server type should i choose, am on a single user laptop with hotmail account atm
[05:40] <systemd0wn_> anyone have ideas?
[05:40] <BigFishy> LOL Rob Levin is dead
[05:40] <fbc> colbert, synaptics pakage manager..
[05:41] <GionnyBoss> Craeo, I tryed googling with this information with no succes... and I cant understand on VIA website how the hell works to download the driver for linux
[05:41] <colbert> fbc: You said it's a pain to get it to go with Evolution? What do you mean? (I'm installing now)
[05:41] <BigFishy> LAWL @ Rob Levin
[05:41] <bigdad1e> Cc2iscool, tried that and it didnt make a difference.. i just want it to where it doesnt scroll 1 section at a time
[05:41] <BigFishy> Rob Levin is dead, LAWL
[05:41] <NET||abuse> Peggerr, heh, ok, i generated certs for each user in my case
[05:41] <BigFishy> LAWL Rob Levin
[05:41] <wanda_> i need help, is anyone willing

[05:42] <BigFishy> LAWL
[05:42] <Dr_willis> Wow we knew this would turn into a troll fest
[05:42] <Stormx2> BigFishy: But you certainly use it..
[05:42] <NET||abuse> Peggerr, well i have ssh access remotely untill our dsl ip pool decides to rotate, so i gotta run out for the minute
[05:42] <c0nv1ct> thanks apokryphos
[05:42] <Dr_willis> LAWL? that some short cut for "i am an idiot" ?
[05:42] <Stormx2> Seems so ^.^
[05:42] <NET||abuse> Peggerr, thanks for putting up with my frustration :) hehe
[05:42] <Lynoure> Dr_willis: one troll does not a fest make ;)
[05:42] <fbc> colbert, installing them both is a sinch, getting the to work together, that is a whole other story my friend.
[05:42] <colbert> fbc, lol well I'm about to find out.. just installed it
[05:43] <yomm> I wonder what those spammers come here for ...
[05:43] <schwofler> does anyone know whether there is a general problem with setting up xorg.conf for tvout with nvidia cards? (twinview seems to "work", but it really slows down the system...)
[05:43] <bigdad1e> well thanks take care
[05:43] <Huffalump> Dr_willis, thank you.  However, there is still a similiar error which does not uninstall -> http://pastebin.ca/392040
[05:43] <schwofler> i already read quite many pages at ubuntuforums about it but i still can't get any output on my tv
[05:43] <Dr_willis> schwofler,  ive never noticed any slowdowns.. but i just use the tv out for a desktop extension, or play videos over there.

[05:45] <GionnyBoss> Craeo, have you got any ideas? Im desperate... Im at my girlfriends father house on his computer, I installed Ubuntu telling him that it will work better, but now if I dont let the video work its a big problem ...
[05:45] <MitchM> I'm getting a "white cube" when I launch beryl on an Intel card
[05:45] <schwofler> dlich, not with setting up two x-servers in xorg.conf, only with twin view

[05:46] <yomm> GionnyBoss : If you don't fix it , youre not allowed to see you girlfriend anymore ?? :)
[05:46] <dilch> schwofler, ah ok, i thought twin view wasn't working
[05:46] <schwofler> dilch, do you use extended desktop or cloning?
[05:47] <schwofler> dilch, cause maybe the slowdown is only with cloning
[05:47] <dilch> schwofler, well, twinview does both, so both :)
[05:47] <dilch> schwofler, i only use it to one side, so maybe that's it
[05:47] <GionnyBoss> yomm, ahahah! Well, theres windows too on this computer, so he can continue using windows as before but... Id really like to let him use Ubuntu
[05:47] <yomm> schwofler : card , cpu , memory ?
[05:47] <yomm> Gionny : i See :) What seems to be the problem ?
[05:47] <lorderunion> hi i've got a weird problem. im using KDE/kubuntu, but everytime my computer starts up it starts up with the Ubuntu login screen. how do i get it to present the kubuntu login screen?

[05:48] <vcrobe> Hi people, I need some C programmer that help me !!!!!
[05:48] <yomm> schwofler : hmm uts not your specs either :)
[05:48] <eck> vcrobe: try ##c
[05:48] <Craeo> GionnyBoss, I'm not for sure, I want to say try the VIA driver like you were doing and when you're editing the xorg.conf make sure you set the hori and vert hertz correctly so you can boot back intoo X when you restart. But you need to find out what your monitor's hori and vert are first. It worked for me just now. Might want to try the manfacturer's site to get the information about your monitor/
[05:48] <GionnyBoss> yomm, its a VIA S3G UniChrome Pro IGP integrated graphic card... Ubuntu doesnt recognise it and use the "vesa" driver, but it is so slow... unusable when you move a window or do a scrolling
[05:48] <dilch> schwofler, maybe try with the TwinViewOrientation "RightOf" instead of "Clone"
[05:48] <vcrobe> but the question is about an error I get in ubuntu
[05:48] <rbil> gesus: maybe this page will help ... read it all ... possibly last post will also help? http://www.ubuntux.org/cant-install-canon-printer-drivers
[05:49] <schwofler> dilch, ok, i'll give it a shot. i'll be back in a few
[05:49] <schwofler> dilch, yomm thanks for now
[05:49] <eck> vcrobe: your solution to such a problem should not involve C (or if it does, maybe you should try contacting the ubuntu developers)
[05:50] <yomm> Gionny : I see , I'm have no experience with that card , but try tweaking some of xorg.conf settings , like : Option "Accel" "True"
[05:50] <colbert> fbc: I'm stuck already lol with the HowTo.. when he says create 2 filters.. i'm going to edit>Msg Filters, I click Add, but then "Set Status is Junk ThenPipe to program /usr/bin/bogofilter -s + Stop Processing" where do I put that?
[05:50] <eck> yomm: i don't think you can use acceleration with the vesa driver
[05:50] <GionnyBoss> Craeo, ok thanks I can try it. But Im not sure it will work just setting the via driver like that. Ive already tryed it a lot of times with different configuration (enabling/disabling kernel framebuffer and other things like that)
[05:50] <yomm> Eck : I see
[05:51] <yomm> Gionny/Eck  : Isn't there an S3 driver for Ubuntu ?
[05:51] <yomm> I thought so ...
[05:51] <GionnyBoss> yomm, I can try it. The problem is that I cant find a driver
[05:51] <vcrobe> eck: Can you tell me how to contact them?
[05:51] <eck> i am pretty sure i have seen such a driver in the kernel config, it must exist
[05:51] <GionnyBoss> yomm, I afraid that this card is not supported
[05:52] <craigbass1976> I've mounted up a floppy.  Now, when I change disks do I have to unmount/remount it?
[05:52] <yomm> GionnyBoss : have you tried : sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" & then selecting S3 driver ?
[05:52] <GionnyBoss> yomm, but I wanted to ask here so I can get some advices from the people here. What would zou do?
[05:52] <GionnyBoss> yomm,  is there an S3 driver too?
[05:52] <eck> vcrobe: i would try launchpad.net, there is an ubuntu-dev mailing list but i think you now need to be registered as a dev to write to it
[05:52] <yomm> GionnyBoss : I thought so , yes
[05:52] <yomm> tGionnyBoss : not 100% sure
[05:52] <GionnyBoss> yomm, I tryed the VIA one... now I check :)
[05:52] <vcrobe> eck: So what can I do?
[05:53] <vcrobe> eck: Any suggestion?
[05:53] <eck> vcrobe: what is the problem exactly?
[05:53] <yomm> GionnyBoss : yes there is on Edgy
[05:53] <fbc> colbert, in the filters setup
[05:53] <yomm> GionnyBoss ;: I just saw it :)

[05:55] <eck> vcrobe: you can use apt-file
[05:55] <fbc> can anyone recommend something for creating an ORGANIZATIONAL CHART?
[05:56] <eck> vcrobe: download the apt-file package, then do 'apt-file update' (i think), and then you can see the packages providing such a file with something like 'apt-file search processor.h'
[05:56] <vcrobe> eck: i've tried that but nothing :-(

[06:07] <Stormx2> gumpish: Yeah, think so.
[06:07] <craigbass1976> eck, no

[06:07] <antiPosix> Stormx2: delicate balance of audio power, oss, alsa, esd

[06:08] <eck> preferably beforehand, the kernel will sync writes to disk before unmounting
[06:08] <craigbass1976> eck, ok, I've done it the right way I guess, just wondered if there were a "righter" way
[06:08] <goomie> wolferine: well i installed sun java 6
[06:08] <arowanaj> Dont find any good =/
[06:08] <doomster> craigbass1976, consider using an 'automounter'.
[06:08] <wolferine> goomie: sudo apt-get install sun-java
[06:08] <eck> if you just eject, there could be pending writes that never make it to disk (and if you just put in a new floppy, they could be made to the new disk!)
[06:08] <wolferine> I beleive
[06:08] <antiPosix> KevlarSoul: that pretty much sums it up
[06:09] <wolferine> [Tuxedo] : really, I did spend an entire day working on it
[06:09] <[Tuxedo] > I wasn't getting any answers on the Ubuntu forums, so I moved it to the Beryl since that was one of the problems.
[06:09] <KevlarSoul> Antiposix, thanks
[06:09] <dougie> wolferine: is utorrent in universe or multiverse?
[06:09] <craigbass1976> doomster, does it work with floppies?  There's no hardware that says "He ejected the disk" or "he put in a disk" so I assumed automounting wouldn't work
[06:09] <wolferine> dougie:  not sure, havent had the time to install it atm
[06:09] <[Tuxedo] > wolferine: I've spent 2-3 weeks up to this point just trying to get my Radeon 9000 to identify, today is the first time it has.
[06:09] <darkcommon> can anything recommend me an good theme (light-clear best (NO DARK COLOURS, I hate its)
[06:10] <KevlarSoul> seriously?
[06:10] <wolferine> [Tuxedo] : sorry, but i have not found alot to get it working with Beryl
[06:10] <doomster> craigbass1976, no, some just mount it when you access the directory and unmount it after some second of inactivity...
[06:10] <goomie> wolferine: why do i want to install it when it is installed, im looking for the home directory of it.
[06:10] <[Tuxedo] > KevlarSoul: Go to Youtube and look up Beryl on XGL :P
[06:10] <antiPosix> [Tuxedo] : you got the ATI Radeon to work properly?  wow, my Radeon 7500 Mobile only gives me 1024x764 max
[06:10] <Stormx2> darkcommon: I'm always concerned about usability in skins. The best one I've found is called murrina-gilouche
[06:10] <wolferine> [Tuxedo] : even if you do, I have had issues with it running, even with my Nvidia card
[06:10] <jvolkman> KevlarSoul, because MS doesn't do all of the same things.
[06:10] <antiPosix> [Tuxedo] : so I gave up the ATI on linux problem
[06:10] <lnx^_> hoi
[06:10] <darkcommon> Stormx2 can u take me a link? and a HOWTO for install?
[06:10] <eck> KevlarSoul: honestly, linux is not a good platform if you want to play games -- if that is the case, just use windows
[06:11] <KevlarSoul> jvolkman like what whats the big feature or benefit that Linux has over MS?
[06:11] <Stormx2> darkcommon: One moment.
[06:11] <nikin> i ame searching a webserver other than apache to use it with static pages and some compiled CGI scripts.... i browsed in Synaptic and found some... does anyone have any experiencewith one of them, or can point me out some massive tutorial on using them for the above mentioned porpuose
[06:11] <[Tuxedo] > antiPosix: I just started from a clean install and used the ATi Binaries page.
[06:11] <darkcommon> no problemo
[06:11] <KevlarSoul> eck okay
[06:11] <wolferine> goomie: if you did install it already, then you can always do a search for java*
[06:11] <eck> linux is not a replacement for windows for everyone or in all scenarios
[06:11] <craigbass1976> doomster, I shall look into that then, although I'd still have to type a mount command initially, right?  And then every time I put in a different disk?
[06:11] <jvolkman> KevlarSoul, there is no one big feature or benefit.
[06:11] <doomster> KevlarSoul, I'm using 'autofs' here, though it's a Debian system and not Ubuntu
[06:11] <KevlarSoul> then I dont understand
[06:11] <darkcommon> [Tuxedo] :  you want 3D accel?
[06:11] <KevlarSoul> oay
[06:11] <lnx^_> i have a usb disk which i would like to use for backups
[06:11] <yomm> Its just such a shame one has to cough up a couple of hundred buckaroos just for a gaming os :/
[06:11] <KevlarSoul> okay is it true US GOvt has a backdoor into MSFT?
[06:12] <lnx^_> however, i also want to use it for normals files
[06:12] <jvolkman> KevlarSoul, there are pros and cons, just like with any comparsion between any two entities
[06:12] <yomm> when the games are already so expensive
[06:12] <darkcommon> KevlarSoul Linux is free (and with XGL is WVista) but M$ is pay
[06:12] <doomster> KevlarSoul, no, MSFT have a backdoor into US gvt
[06:12] <KevlarSoul> yomm, rofl, ive not paid for an O/S in a decade.
[06:12] <ify_> I am trying to get 3D accel with my ATI card, could someone help me?
[06:12] <lnx^_> what would be the best way to make daily encrypted backups to it?
[06:12] <KevlarSoul> MS is pay for who? rofl
[06:12] <lnx^_> i'm looking for something like rsync with encryption
[06:12] <darkcommon> ify_ Install Automatix Bleeder (http://getautomatix.com)
[06:12] <KevlarSoul> doomster oh yeah?
[06:12] <doomster> lnx^, rsync via SSH?
[06:12] <ify_> Okay thank you
[06:13] <yomm> Kevlar : well that's a completely different thing
[06:13] <preaction> !automatix | ify_
[06:13] <ubotu> ify_: automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use.

[06:13] <preaction> !ati | ify_
[06:13] <lnx^> doomster: no i mean rsync that encrypts the files

[06:13] <darkcommon> preaction... I installed Autoamtix
[06:13] <gesus> hello can anyone help me i am having problems trying to find a driver for my onboard audio -- motherboard is ASUS P5GD1-VM. I have had big dramas.  Thankyou!
[06:13] <Stormx2> darkcommon: Uh oh...
[06:13] <preaction> darkcommon: automatix is not recommended here
[06:14] <doomster> lnx^, there are tools for that which you can combine with rsync, just rsync it to an encrypted partition
[06:14] <darkcommon> well
[06:14] <yomm> darkcommon : next action : remove automatix :)
[06:14] <lnx^> genii: i mean encryption of the backed-up files on the hard disk
[06:14] <danshtr> hi all
[06:14] <darkcommon> Automatix is preinstalled on Ubuntu Ultimate, I have it on "OEM Mode"
[06:14] <lnx^> doomster: yes that is something i'm looking for, but i need to use that partition on windows as well so i can't install only encfs on it i suppose?
[06:14] <ify_> !ati
[06:14] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:15] <Pici> darkcommon: Ultimate edition is not an 'official' distro
[06:15] <Chousuke> Ubuntu Ultimate? ;P
[06:15] <preaction> darkcommon: whatever ubuntu Ultimate is, it is not official canonical ubuntu
[06:15] <lnx^> doomster: or can you create a normal directory with encfs on it (or does it require an own partition)?
[06:15] <darkcommon> it's true, but I doent need to install programs on it
[06:15] <Stormx2> the apocalypse is here!!
[06:15] <wolferine> hehe
[06:15] <darkcommon> all are preinstalled
[06:15] <gesus> hello can anyone help me i am having problems trying to find a driver for my onboard audio -- motherboard is ASUS P5GD1-VM. I have had big dramas.  Thankyou!
[06:16] <wolferine> gesus: what audio card is it?
[06:16] <danshtr> hi all
[06:16] <tier`> stormx2: haha, im about to start the apocalypse if i dont get my wireless card working =P
[06:16] <gesus> wolferine, it's onboard mobo is ASUS P5GD1-VM
[06:16] <danshtr> is there somthing like .bashrc when i start gnome?
[06:16] <Stormx2> Okay, where did my menubar go?
[06:16] <TelVGG-Ariel> Hi!
[06:16] <Stormx2> X chat has no menu bar...
[06:16] <darkcommon> Stormx2 can you do for me a HOWTO for install the theme??
[06:16] <TelVGG-Ariel> do you know any system monitor tool (live) for the ubuntu desktop?
[06:17] <eck> tier`: wait until the 2.6.21 kernel comes out and all your wildest broadcom dreams will come true
[06:17] <Stormx2> darkcommon: Download it, drag and drop it into the theme manager (System > Preferences > Themes)
[06:17] <doomster> lnx^, you might be able to create a filesystem on a file using the loopback device, which somehow sucks considering the behaviour on resizes etc. However, I never really used that.
[06:17] <darkcommon> o
[06:17] <[Tuxedo] > How do you configure the radeon driver?
[06:17] <darkcommon> Ok
[06:17] <wolferine> gesus, the audio is Realtek ALC861
[06:17] <genii> lnx^: Why not pipe the rsync file retreivals thru encrypt?
[06:17] <yomm> TELVVG : there's one built-in , or "gkrellm" maybe ?
[06:17] <wolferine> maybe check the ubuntu forums for support for that card?
[06:17] <genii> or gpg
[06:17] <TelVGG-Ariel> thank you
[06:18] <tier`> eck: i can only hope, i just installed ubuntu last nite and i mean in 2.6.17-10 there's native support for the 43xx chipset and infact my wireless card shows up as eth0 ... but that does me no good because it doesn't want to operate wirelessly .. i've tried forcing the settings using iwconfig but it still refuses to find an access point
[06:18] <Joost> test
[06:18] <yomm> TelVVG : System Tools > System Monitor
[06:18] <Joost> I've the same problem tier..
[06:18] <tier`> so for now, here i am on my win box... pulling my hair out
[06:19] <skunkworks> tier: look up fwcutter.
[06:19] <TelVGG-Ariel> I was thinking on a fancy one, just like the programs used in the screenshots of desktop themes
[06:19] <gesus> wolferine, where can i find a driver for that?
[06:19] <sbn> Hi
[06:19] <TelVGG-Ariel> with transparent graphics, etc
[06:19] <lnx^> genii: would that work so that i only need to sync the files that have changed, or would it sync all files each time? and could i easily get for example only one file out of a 30gb backup?
[06:19] <mcquaid> not sure if anyone is too familiar with freenx (nomachine), but I wanted to clarify if it can do rdp so I can use the built in client on remote xp machines or is it always required to install the client
[06:19] <sbn> Does the livecd download stuff from the internet?
[06:19] <Stormx2> sbn: No.
[06:19] <wolferine> gesus: as I said, maybe try the ubuntu forums
[06:19] <eck> tier`: apparently a lot of the patches that went in for broadcom up until the last few weeks were problematic, and most of the issues are sorted out for 2.6.21 (the next stable release), although I would imagine that at least some of the fixes have been backported by the ubuntu developers
[06:19] <sbn> Well, What does it to then when it's configurating apt?
[06:20] <gesus> wolferine, ok thanks
[06:20] <wolferine> np
[06:20] <tier`> skunkworks: eh, i tried using the latest ndiswrapper 1.38 and the actually wmp11v27.inf and .sys from linksys and that didnt get anywhere so i figured fwcutter prolly wont get me anywhere either
[06:20] <wolferine> good lucj
[06:20] <wolferine> luck*
[06:20] <apero> hallo
[06:20] <apero> kann jemand deutsch?
[06:20] <mcquaid> if the client must be installed, I'm thinking on trying xrdp, but not sure about compression. I've read xrdp uses your installed xvnc.  Has xvnc reached comparable freenx compression yet?

[06:20] <skunkworks> tier: I could not get ndiswrapper to work - why I switch to fwcutter.
[06:20] <yomm> TelVVG : There"s a bunch of system monitors in Gdesklets , I think they do transparancy  , mind you TelVVG , if you have Beryl/Compiz you can make any window or setup transparent
[06:20] <genii> lnx^: I think it would always overwrite since encrypted version could not easily be compared
[06:20] <skunkworks> tier: I have a buffalo card with that chipset.
[06:20] <tier`> intriguing.. what was your issue with ndiswrapper?
[06:20] <darkcommon> a Beryl theme for Murrina-Gilouche
[06:21] <darkcommon> ??
[06:21] <yomm> TelVVG , or any compositing manager
[06:21] <skunkworks> tier: (linux newbie) it would not power up the card.
[06:21] <tier`> fair enough
[06:22] <tier`> im pretty much a newbie as well haha. i used to run slackware when i was like 15 but it's been awhile.. i dont remember much beyond some basic commands heheh.
[06:22] <twilight_> hello and good evning
[06:22] <twilight_> hello and good evening
[06:22] <TelVGG-Ariel> I do not have a graphic accelerator in my office, so maybe beryl will not work :-(
[06:22] <nintendoduffin> hey
[06:22] <twilight_> sorry anout the mistype
[06:22] <lnx^> genii: okay, i think i will be looking for something else then, thanks though!
[06:22] <skunkworks> tier`: same here - I spent a good day trying to ge ndiswrapper to work - switch to fwcutter and poof - it was working.
[06:22] <genii> lnx^: np

[06:24] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:24] <[Tuxedo] > What kind of card?
[06:24] <jimcooncat> why would a file or dir be denied permission from root?

[06:24] <dezmodium> 9800Pro
[06:24] <darkcommon> I have a Bryl thm, no problm
[06:25] <preaction> jimcooncat: probably because root doesn't have write access to it
[06:25] <twilight_> the free drivers are fine for 9800
[06:25] <twilight_> I think...
[06:25] <sbn> Is SiS191 totaly supported?
[06:25] <jimcooncat> preaction, so I can chmod it?
[06:25] <dezmodium> i have tried a number of tuts on installing drivers but i always get to a wall i cannot cross
[06:25] <wolferine> dougie: u could dl a torrent file to your desktop, right click, select the program you want to open .torrents by default
[06:25] <preaction> jimcooncat: tias (Try It And See)
[06:25] <MKR> preaction, root doesn't _need_ write permission
[06:25] <pierce> does anybody jk
[06:25] <MKR> root is god
[06:25] <wolferine> dougie: that usually works for me
[06:25] <jimcooncat> nope on :sudo chmod 666 .maildir/.Trash/new
[06:26] <twilight_> i suggest you to stick with the free drivers
[06:26] <dezmodium> twi: well beryl wont work and i cant get anything that uses nifty graphics to work

[06:26] <pierce> does anybody know how to enable digital output on soundcards with alsa?

[06:26] <twilight_> just a minute
[06:26] <genii> lnx^: rsyncrypto looks promising But it may have to be setup on both sides
[06:27] <dezmodium> twi: i realize beryl isnt officially supported but whats the point of getting linux if you cant have a little fun you know what i mean
[06:27] <sbn> Is SiS191 (network card) totaly supported?
[06:27] <smopoim86> i'm interested in installing beryl
[06:27] <twilight_> let me see your xorg.conf
[06:27] <amorphous_> why would i have about 30 instances of ssh-scan running? should there not just be one? the machine is on all day, is streaming, but is having problems.
[06:27] <dougie> wolferine: its not in the list...its supposed to be web based or something....

[06:29] <sbn> How come that the live cd can open goolge fast but other sites not?
[06:29] <Kronuz> hey, I installed ubuntu, then I installed the kubuntu-desktop (just to see how it was) 'cause I didn't like it that much, I uninstalled it, but now every time I boot it says kubuntu instead of ubuntu (I already tried installing the ubuntu-desktop package) how can I change that splash screen back to ubuntu?
[06:29] <amorphous_> I'm trying to convert a group of cafe's to ubuntu and have learnt loads, but this is defeating me. can anyone help???
[06:30] <genii> sbn Likely it will open other sites fast the 2nd time you go there. caching
[06:30] <twilight_> has anyone made sony ericsson phones work as a mouse?
[06:30] <Dr_willis> gee - i tend to install kubuntu and ubuntu desktops.. theres just too many good apps in both to just have one.

[06:43] <MoJo> I did try both the Alternate ISO image and the AMD x64 iso...how do you boot without 'quiet'?

[06:44] <Pici> wvdschel: If it doesnt, I believe theres an option in Eclipse to change your default version.  I could be wrong about that though.
[06:45] <wvdschel> yes, there is, but the sun version wasn't even listed before

[07:07] <dazjorz> YamiTenshi: That's probably not a problem with Ubuntu, my guess is that GRUB doesn't know what your root fs is.

[07:08] <dazjorz> genii: He can't. He can't boot grub and he's in windows atm, afaik.
[07:08] <YamiTenshi> exactly
[07:08] <YamiTenshi> well, GRUB boots
[07:08] <dazjorz> genii: Or he'll have to write it over to a paper and then to the pastebin, but afaik, grub doesn't do a lot more than "Cannot mount root FS"

[07:09] <genii> YamiTenshi: Well, depending on the error it could either be an issue with the initrd file or the actual root. If it's the initrd then can be relatively easily fixed from a livecd

[07:11] <LC> what is name of packet, like ttf-ms-fonts ?
[07:11] <nixnoob> msttconrefonts
[07:11] <rylan> hmm. nothing.
[07:11] <dazjorz> YamiTenshi:  I don't think the problem is in the initrd file, unless you require some drivers for your hardware
