[09:11] <Some_Person> i finally figured out how i can make my internet work in ubuntu, upgrade to edgy!
[09:12] <Some_Person> except, my edgy install hangs at 57%
[09:12] <TC`> how ubuntu must detect wlan mini card?
[09:12] <n2diy> Anybody have a url for an ntp server handy?
[09:12] <christopher> i'm really confused, this command: sudo usermod --home /home/bob bob isn't createing a new directory for bob in /home
[09:12] <mnoir> klypso: i dunno what else might have gone wrong.
[09:12] <Ntp> or if i reboot with the k7 kernel and dist-upgrade work to k7?
[09:12] <pike_> exs: what we are doing is taking that output that you see and piping it to another app. you might though just reinstall vmware just like yo did before then sudo apt-get remove --purge vmware-player or whatever its called
[09:12] <genius314> If I upgrade from an Intel Pentium 3 motherboard to an AMD Athlon 64 motherboard, will I have to get a different version or reinstall Ubuntu?
[09:12] <oriyen> How do I gain Root for my Ubuntu computer
[09:12] <str> Hi all!
[09:12] <mnoir> klypso: but i am suspicious of your whole install
[09:12] <Some_Person> i'm on the edgy livecd right now
[09:12] <ben_> is this the place to ask q.s re:xgl/beryl?
[09:12] <rasman> genius314: you just need to use the correct kernel
[09:12] <mnoir> !beryl
[09:12] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-xgl
[09:12] <n2diy> christopher: mkdir is the command to make a directory.
[09:12] <bluefox83> christopher, just create a new user named bob, it'll automatically create the /home/bob
[09:13] <oriyen> I need to mount/dev/hda1 /mnt/test
[09:13] <gili> so will someone please tell me how to see the Hard drives on my system
[09:13] <oriyen> it requires root how do I get it
[09:13] <genius314> rasman: How do I do that?
[09:13] <str> is there a way to make my ubuntu connect to my wireless network when it detects it? just the way Windows does?
[09:13] <christopher> I did create a user named bob but no home dir was created
[09:13] <Draegan> Yeah I want to ask that
[09:13] <rasman> genius314: there is a generic i386 which is compatible with both Intel and AMD but you can just install both and choose at boot
[09:13] <Draegan> I'm just too late :P
[09:13] <Some_Person> i need help, my edgy install keeps hanging at 57%!
[09:13] <iloveubunut> oriyen - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[09:13] <christopher> I'll try making it with mkdir
[09:13] <oriyen> thanks
[09:13] <mnoir> gili: df in a terminal will do it
[09:14] <arrenlex> rasman: -generic is not -386. That's exactly the point.
[09:14] <Infeliz> !tony
[09:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tony - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:14] <Sjogren> christopher: isn't the correct word "creating"  ?
[09:14] <tonyyarusso> Infeliz: Yes?
[09:14] <mnoir> !generic
[09:14] <ubotu> Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed)
[09:14] <n2diy> gili: df -h will make it a little easier to read.
[09:14] <christopher> Sjogren, for what?
[09:14] <rasman> genius314: sudo apt-get install linux-686 linux-k7
[09:14] <str> is there a way to make my ubuntu connect to my wireless network when it detects it? just the way Windows does?
[09:14] <slacker_nl> Sjogren: mkdir is makedir, making a dir is the same as creating a dir ;)
[09:14] <Some_Person> please help me, my edgy install hangs at 57%
[09:14] <Sjogren> u said "I'll try Making.....
[09:14] <stefg> Ntp...there's no way of getting precompiled binaries for k7, it won't have much effect anyway. In edgy this led to giving up the architecture-specific kernels for the -generic ones. Put your time to a better use :-)
[09:14] <genius314> rasman: Ok, I'm a little confused about that. But I'm probably not going to change my motherboard for a while, so I'll figure it out then.

[09:16] <christopher> the user I created only has a $ at the command line
[09:16] <mnoir> gili: i believe many ppl have been missing a tool removed from 6.10
[09:16] <mnoir> gili: that used to show df-like info
[09:16] <baastrup> HI, does anyone know how to easy install a newer kernel than the one from edgy, I need it to see if it is the kernel or the nvidia driver the gives me lookups
[09:16] <gili> stefg: i know the command line has it
[09:16] <alexis_> Is there any way to get Nautilus show more information about files when hovering the mouse over them?
[09:17] <gili> i just want to be able to use nautilus and see all hard drives
[09:17] <gili> listed
[09:17] <arrenlex> baastrup: Then why don't you just start x with the "nv" driver for a while and see if you get lockups? Rather than installing third-party kernels?
[09:17] <n2diy> alexis_: Yes, in the view menu.
[09:17] <alexis_> ok, thanks
[09:18] <stefg> gili: the GUI for disk-management is not in dapper, because no maintainer, and a different way of mounting drives (uuid-style)
[09:18] <Sjogren> gparted?
[09:18] <baastrup> arrenlex: im using the nv driver now, and it works, but non of the nvidia drivers work, and i need them for 2d accel
[09:18] <baastrup> 3d
[09:18] <Draegan> Alright, so... I think this question was asked a little while back, but it goes so damn fast that I can't catch up.:P How does one detect their wireless with Linux, exactly? Or should that be obvious once I boot the installation?
[09:18] <mnoir> Sjogren: for gili that would be a bad idea
[09:19] <arrenlex> baastrup: You get lockups with the nv driver?
[09:19] <jellybear> q: what other reasons may cause the command 'sudo -u dhcp /lib/dhcp3-client/call-dhclient-script' to fail with 'Permission denied' if it is not for rights set on the file???
[09:19] <gili> what would be a bad idea?
[09:19] <Nap> hi
[09:19] <Draegan> lol
[09:19] <baastrup> arrenlex: no with nvidias own
[09:19] <Draegan> hi.:)
[09:19] <gili> i know how to use gparted for quite some time....
[09:19] <stefg> !wifi | draegan
[09:19] <ubotu> draegan: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[09:19] <mnoir> gili: using gparted to show the hardware
[09:19] <arrenlex> jellybear: The user dhcp does not have permission to execute /lib/dhcp3-client/call-dhclient-script
[09:20] <gili> i know how to use all these partition editing software as well as command lines....
[09:20] <Draegan> oh thanks ^^
[09:20] <arrenlex> baastrup: But you just said nvidia's own driver doesn't work.
[09:20] <mnoir> gili: i mean to the family.  I know you would never make a mistake, but the cat is sneaky
[09:20] <gili> pl
[09:20] <gili> ok
[09:20] <mnoir> :)
[09:20] <jellybear> arrenlex: that's exactly my problem - according to the rights set on the file and all libraries used, IT HAS
[09:20] <alexis_> n2diy: did you mean the statusbar?
[09:20] <arrenlex> jellybear: what does "ls -l /lib/dhcp3-client/call-dhclient-script" say?
[09:21] <gili> hah
[09:21] <jellybear> -rwxr-xr-x
[09:21] <n2diy> alexis_: no
[09:21] <alexis_> i can't find anything else of value in the view menu...
[09:22] <gili> stefg: so  you were saying that Edgy has ditched the GUI for disk management....can you elaborate
[09:22] <faLUCE> Hi, this is the result of configure script for a program "checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.0.3) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!". Qt are installed, so which flag i have to add when launching configure?
[09:22] <noelferreira> lupine_85: are you there?
[09:22] <arrenlex> jellybear: What happens if you log in as that user and run that command? "su dhcp"
[09:22] <jellybear> arrenlex: and chmodding +s won't help it either
[09:22] <alexis_> you mean in nautilus view menu I suppose?
[09:22] <jellybear> arrenlex: dhcp is a system account w/o shell
[09:22] <n2diy> alexis_: yes
[09:22] <foobarian> faLUCE, is qt-dev installed?
[09:22] <baastrup> arrenlex: I need the offical nvidia driver to get 3d accel, but it make lookups, som im running with xorg's own nv driver
[09:22] <faLUCE> foobarian: it is.
[09:22] <idawood> which one is the best file manager for gnome?
[09:22] <alexis_> n2diy: I'm looking there
[09:22] <jellybear> arrenlex: much like in the standard installation of ubuntu
[09:23] <foobarian> faLUCE: as opposed to not -dev? :)
[09:23] <genius314> My resolution can't go up to 1280x1024 like it should be able to. It can only go up to 1280x800. Can anyone help me? And the FixVideoResolution guide on the website didn't help.
[09:23] <alexis_> n2diy: what is it?
[09:23] <stefg> gili, as i read  there was no maintainer for disk-admin, and since edgy uses a uuid-style fstab noone adapted it to edgy... so it was removed..
[09:23] <n2diy> alexis_: sorry for being curt, I was typing with one hand, hang on and let me fire up nautilus.
[09:23] <piiimp> how do i list what USB devices are detected in Ubuntu?
[09:23] <mnoir> idawood: nautilus is the generally accepted one
[09:23] <jellybear> arrenlex: and i just found out, that i don't have execution rights on any program for dhcp
[09:23] <alexis_> n2diy: ok
[09:23] <faLUCE> foobarian: i have qt3-dev, qt4-dev, kdebase-dev
[09:23] <idawood> piiimp:lsusb
[09:23] <arrenlex> n2diy: ...o__O we don't need to know that
[09:23] <piiimp> idawood: ty
[09:24] <gili> ok thats interesting
[09:24] <exs> pike_:  I'm getting "access denied" even with sudo.
[09:24] <baastrup> arrenlex: So I made a bug report at nvidias forum, and they told me to try the newst kernel before they would look at it
[09:24] <pike_> exs: sudo -s
[09:24] <datil> hi
[09:25] <pike_> exs: then once in the root shell type the other stuff
[09:25] <datil> how can i change the screen resolution to something higher than 1024x768?
[09:25] <jellybear> arrenlex: not even for /bin/false
[09:25] <n2diy> alexis_: I use view-as lists, do you need more info than that displays?
[09:25] <arrenlex> jellybear: What you're doing is beyond me... good luck figuring it out. xD
[09:25] <exs> pike_:  "sudo -s locate vmware | xargs -i rm -fr {}" not working  "/usr/bin/locate: /usr/bin/locate: cannot execute binary f"
[09:25] <jellybear> arrenlex: strace reports that execve fails with EACCESS
[09:25] <jellybear> *sigh*
[09:25] <arrenlex> exs: Why not just use "sudo locate"?
[09:26] <pike_> exs: bah what was the vmware package name you installed?
[09:26] <pibarnas> hi folks, my dvd driver is locked with an audio cd inside of it. I've tried many ways to unlock and ejecting it without reboot, without success (fuser -vk /medic/cdrom0; umount /mnt/dvd; etc), can someone help me?
[09:26] <jellybear> arrenlex: thx anyway
[09:26] <pike_> exs: sudo -s by itself first
[09:26] <exs> arrenlex:  I just want one single terminal line that will locate, and delete any traces of vmware
[09:26] <alexis_> n2diy: It's enough for me, but how can I get it to display the size in kb:s and not in how many folders it contains?
[09:26] <arrenlex> pibarnas: What does "fuser -m /dev/dvd" say?
[09:26] <pibarnas> let me see...
[09:27] <piiimp> heh has anyone ever tried to get an 'EyeTV Hybrid' USB device (designed for Mac) running in Ubuntu Linux?
[09:27] <pibarnas> it says nothing... :(
[09:27] <datil> how can i change the screen resolution to something higher than 1024x768? i already installed nvidia's display driver
[09:27] <n2diy> alexis_: try view-visible columns.
[09:27] <pibarnas> weird, isn't it?
[09:27] <arrenlex> exs: sudo find / -name "*vmware*" | sudo xargs rm -rif
[09:27] <arrenlex> exs: For safety, that command will ask you before it deletes a file.
[09:28] <exs> ok cheers, thanks pike_ and arrenlex
[09:28] <arrenlex> exs: If you're sure that you're safe, remove i from that last part.
[09:28] <pike_> arrenlex: is the -i flag needed for xargs?
[09:28] <stefg> !fixres | datil

[09:28] <arrenlex> pike_: No. See above.
[09:28] <alexis_> n2diy: I have size and some other stuff enabled, which one should I enable?
[09:28] <pibarnas> the driver just stopped working. It can't release the cd...
[09:28] <foobarian> faLUCE: that's odd.  some ideas: 1) try on a different distro with qt-devs if you have access 2) try some other simple qt program 3) assuming the configure script from that program is broken try editing configure.ac to see why it fails
[09:28] <pibarnas> only when I reboot...
[09:28] <n2diy> alexis_: it is up to you.
[09:28] <exs> arrenlex:  "root@engle-laptop:~#  sudo find / -name "*vmware*" | sudo xargs rm -rif....find: WARNING: Hard link count is wrong for /proc/6348: this may be a bug in your filesystem driver. "
[09:29] <arrenlex> exs: Well that doesn't look nromal. o_O
[09:29] <arrenlex> normal
[09:29] <arrenlex> exs: Google that error, I guess. It's not related to my command.
[09:30] <exs> arrenlex:  what'sthe equlivant to scan disc in ubuntu?
[09:30] <arrenlex> exs: fsck
[09:30] <alexis_> n2diy: I have size enabled, but it doesn't tell me how big folders are in kb:s, it just tells how many folders it contains. It's just folders
[09:30] <arrenlex> exs: Don't run it on a mounted filesystem.
[09:30] <exs> arrenlex:  what's the command to bring fsck to do a check and fix errors in terminal?
[09:30] <arrenlex> exs: Remount read-only first. Or run from a liveCD.
[09:30] <exs> arrenlex:  oh
[09:30] <shreeve> argh! trying to get my t60p's wireless to work with edgy!
[09:30] <exs> arrenlex:  ok

[09:31] <shreeve> grnwood - ipw3945
[09:31] <dmc_> Any suggestions?
[09:31] <alexis_> n2diy: in console?
[09:31] <genius314> Scunizi: Hahahahaha... no.
[09:31] <Scunizi> genius314:  Sorry couldn't resist
[09:31] <shreeve> grnwood - can i priv you?
[09:31] <stefg> png: you can sudo apt-get install vino on the remote box and vncviewer on your local one
[09:32] <grnwood> sure
[09:32] <foobarian> alexis_, yes
[09:32] <n2diy> alexis_: maybe?
[09:32] <n2diy> How do you view the size of a directory?
[09:32] <Scunizi> genius314: do you have wacom-tools installed?  My install was effortless.  Worked after making changes to xorg
[09:32] <foobarian> du
[09:32] <shreeve> grnwood - you see me in priv chat?
[09:32] <arrenlex> n2diy: du
[09:32] <mnoir> n2diy: du <dirname>
[09:32] <n2diy> thanks
[09:33] <Last_Key> nediy: you can us ls -l
[09:33] <foobarian> n2diy: du -s to avoid subdirs
[09:33] <Last_Key> use*
[09:33] <genius314> Scunizi: Yeah, I installed it. But afterwards, the scroll was reversed
[09:33] <n2diy> alexis_: in the console use du
[09:33] <mnoir> n2diy: du -h for human readable sizes
[09:33] <datil> stefg, also, how can i remove the splash screen showing the logo of Nvidia when XOrg launches?
[09:33] <alexis_> n2diy: It displays the list of files. I can now see everything I need for all other files than folders.  Ubuntu is not designed for "special" people" :S
[09:34] <grnwood> shreeve - can't priv i think firewalled
[09:34] <superkirbyartist> Ekiga is always saying "Registration failed: Forbidden" when I login!
[09:34] <grnwood> shreeve- i see u
[09:34] <grnwood> shreeve - you can't see me
[09:34] <png> vino is already installed. i just wanna know how can i set it via ssh? now i want to see that remote machine's already opened Gnome session's screen
[09:34] <Scunizi> genius314: is it that way everywhere in the system or just in Gimp or something else?
[09:35] <arrenlex> madman91: To back it up so you can get at the files? Or to back it up so you can restore exactly your partition from the file?
[09:35] <n2diy> alexis_: I'm not familiar with the command, try 'man du'
[09:35] <shreeve> grnwood - i don't see you in priv chat... hrm... can you try to ping me there?
[09:35] <foobarian> alexis_, try "du -sh * | sort -n"
[09:35] <mrabti> salut tout le monde
[09:35] <madman91> arrenlex: which is better? ... well which is easier
[09:35] <foobarian> alexis_, or even better, "du -sh * | sort -n | more"
[09:35] <arrenlex> madman91: If the latter, you might want to consider "dd if=/dev/sda2 of=backupfile" where /dev/sda2 is your Linux partition.
[09:35] <stefg> datil: put 'option "nologo" "true" ' in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf  in Section Driver
[09:35] <superkirbyartist> Can someone help me please?  I would like to use my Gizmo account!
[09:35] <arrenlex> madman91: Both are pretty easy. It depends what you need to do.
[09:35] <genius314> genius314: Everywhere. Even media players turn the volume up when i scroll down and down when I scroll up.
[09:35] <grnwood> shreeve -- i'm egress fw'ed
[09:35] <genius314> woops
[09:35] <madman91> arrenlex: i can do both :D
[09:36] <genius314> Scunizi: Everywhere. Even media players turn the volume up when i scroll down and down when I scroll up.
[09:36] <superkirbyartist> Anyone?
[09:36] <arrenlex> madman91: If you make a giant tarball out of /, you can then get at files. But if you bitcopy your partition, you can completely restore it with dd if=backupfile of=/dev/sda2
[09:36] <madman91> arrenlex: is backupfile just backupfile?
[09:36] <alexis_> foobarian: I tried it already. Is it at all possible to change the format how to display the size of folders?
[09:36] <madman91> arrenlex: no extension?
[09:36] <arrenlex> madman91: backupfile is whatever filename you want your backup to have. Call it fred if you want.
[09:36] <shreeve> grnwood - okay. on my ipw3945, i start with 'iwconfig eth1 essid ESSIDHERE enc ENCHERE' and then do a 'dhclient eth1'
[09:36] <madman91> arrenlex: i will call it fred :D
[09:36] <Last_Key> where is run field in ubuntu
[09:37] <Scunizi> genius314: did you uncomment out the line in xorg dealing with "ForceDevice" - Table PC Only?  Mine didn't work right until I did that.
[09:37] <madman91> arrai: do you know how to do incremental or differential backups
[09:37] <foobarian> alexis_, you could omit the h... but it will still be a size
[09:37] <arrenlex> madman91: What extension would it have? It's a copy of a partition.
[09:37] <shreeve> grnwood - everything looks good, I get an ip, life is grand... but I can't ping crap or route anything... even though i have an IP from my wap
[09:37] <christopher> I'm having trouble with usermod to let a new user use sudo
[09:37] <madman91> arrenlex: .partition
[09:37] <Scunizi> superkirbyartist: what's not working.. You can't log in?
[09:37] <genius314> Scunizi: No, I got rid of those lines completely.
[09:37] <grnwood> shreeve - you running WEP or WPA?
[09:37] <shreeve> wep
[09:37] <superkirbyartist> Scunizi: Yes.
[09:38] <arrenlex> madman91: If you want *shrug*
[09:38] <grnwood> okay, try it with WEP off on AP?
[09:38] <superkirbyartist> Scunizi: It says registration failed.
[09:38] <grnwood> just to isolate?
[09:38] <madman91> arrenlex: how do i do incremental or differential backups?
[09:38] <mnoir> christopher: how are you using it to enable sudo?
[09:38] <shreeve> ok... i'll lose my connection cause i'm sharing it right now with this box
[09:38] <christopher> mnoir usermod -a -G sudo bob
[09:38] <Scunizi> genius314: put them back in.  You might want to sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg to get it done automatically.
[09:38] <arrenlex> madman91: I don't do backups. xD Ask someone else.
[09:38] <christopher> mnoir: sudo usermod -a -G sudo bob
[09:38] <P3L|C4N0> greetings
[09:38] <alexis_> with 'su -b' I can get it to display the size, but it is only in the terminal
[09:38] <grnwood> yeah ... then, what's your routing table say?
[09:39] <Scunizi> superkirbyartist: hang on let me check my gizmo config.
[09:39] <mrabti> J'ai une petite question dans Ubuntu
[09:39] <mrabti> Je souhaite changer la resolution du mode Console
[09:39] <genius314> Scunizi: Well I have a backup copy. I'll just copy them from there.
[09:39] <iloveubunut> madman91 what are you backing up a workstation or a server?
[09:39] <mnoir> christopher: i believe you need to add them to your admingrp unless you are doing something different in sudoers
[09:39] <arrenlex> !fr | mralphabet
[09:39] <ubotu> mralphabet: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[09:39] <madman91> iloveubunut: workstation
[09:39] <arrenlex> ...oh, sorry.
[09:39] <faLUCE> foobarian: the configure script is generated with autoconf. modifying it would be a bad idea
[09:39] <datil> does the text-mode Ubuntu install automatically choose/recommends the partition size and mountpoints?
[09:39] <mnoir> christopher: admin group*
[09:39] <alexis_> I mean 'du -b *'
[09:39] <alexis_> sorry
[09:39] <slacker_nl> datil: yes
[09:39] <christopher> mnoir, the command works, (no errors) but the sudo on the other account seems unresponsive
[09:39] <shreeve> grnwood - trying something real quick... i'll update ya in a sec
[09:39] <madman91> arrenlex: if i use dd.. can i access the files inside it ?
[09:40] <christopher> mnoir, so 'sudo usermod -a -G admin bob'
[09:40] <madman91> brb arrenlex iloveubunut
[09:40] <stefg> datil: yes, but as all automatic algorithms it can be quite stupid
[09:40] <iloveubunut> madman - you only want data or whole system??
[09:40] <Scunizi> genius314: Try that, uncomment out those lines in the three Wacom sections then CTRL/ALT/Backspace to restart X then let me know what happened.
[09:40] <arrenlex> madman91: Not easily. You could mount it as a loopback device. That would require Linux.
[09:40] <foobarian> faLUCE: the point is to figure out why it's failing, if at all.  usually it is an old program that doesn't expect an extra new version
[09:40] <datil> stefg, i say it cause default graphical install did a 3GB swap partition.. and i also want to make a separate home partition for storing my data.. i don't know if gnome/ubuntu will be affected if i put in a home partition
[09:40] <mnoir> christopher: that looks right
[09:41] <christopher> thanks
[09:41] <mnoir> christopher: you may want to check your sudoers file
[09:41] <Scunizi> superkirbyartist:  Did you already register on their site?  If so your user name and password are case sensitive.
[09:41] <genius314> Scunizi: What does Ctrl-Alt-Backspace do, exactly? I know it restarts X, but it doesn't seem to do anything when I do it.
[09:41] <christopher> mnoir, where is that?
[09:41] <faLUCE> foobarian: I see, but a solution must be somewhere
[09:41] <mnoir> christopher: /etc , which is the answer for almost all valuable files :)
[09:41] <superkirbyartist> All right!  It works when I replace phone number by username!
[09:42] <superkirbyartist> Thank you!
[09:42] <alexis_> foobarian: I can get it to display the size with 'du -b *' but it's only in the terminal...
[09:42] <foobarian> faLUCE: some programs don't regenerate everything using distro's autoconf, but come with their own configure scripts, etc.
[09:42] <Scunizi> genius314:  It mearly restarts the X server which is your graphical display.  It doesn't restart the whole machine.  Not quite like CTRL-ALT-Delete
[09:42] <sinizzl> KEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKE
[09:42] <kcinna> What's some good free software for creating a video dvd? I notice gnomebaker can create a data dvd, but itdoesnt say anything about video.
[09:42] <foobarian> faLUCE: have you regenerated them?
[09:42] <superkirbyartist> Now I can call people and people for free!
[09:42] <stefg> datil: 3GB swap is stupid... except you use tmpfs and compile large stuff in /tmp... having home separate is a common scenario, but i think you'll have to do manual partitioning then
[09:42] <sinizzl> anyone got experience with gamepads/joystickz0r3ez under linux?
[09:42] <foobarian> alexis_, I don't know of a graphical version, sorry
[09:42] <Scunizi> superkirbyartist:  Is it working now?
[09:42] <jwalanta> hello all, does the resolution depend totally upon monitor or on video card too??
[09:42] <Samuel_> #mepis-it
[09:42] <arrenlex> jwalanta: The resolution depends on your settings. o_O
[09:43] <foobarian> jwalanta, both
[09:43] <alexis_> foobarian: ok, thanks for your help
[09:43] <iloveubunut> madman - http://www.debianadmin.com/backup-and-restore-your-ubuntu-system-using-sbackup.html
[09:43] <foobarian> alexis_, np
[09:43] <alexis_> n2diy: thanks for your help
[09:43] <faLUCE> foobarian: i use the program conf script
[09:43] <jwalanta> i  have a pentium i computer, is it possible that it supports no more than 640x480
[09:43] <jbroome> entirely possible
[09:43] <n2diy> alexis_: nada
[09:43] <MystaMax> why does my text look lik this " may be never, always, or auto
[09:43] <MystaMax> ..." when i run man COMMAND from the CLI??
[09:43] <datil> stefg, indeed it's stupid.. i don't know what the installer was thinking with 3GB; i don't know what home is actually used for, i just want to separate the ubuntu system/files with my documents/pictures, etc, i don't know if creating the /home partition is appropiate for that
[09:44] <arrenlex> MystaMax: Because of encoding problems.
[09:44] <lukus001> Does anyone know of a real time packet editor?
[09:44] <stefg> datil, you fully understood the concept
[09:44] <evolution_> im having a problem with ubuntu reconsising my mouse
[09:44] <evolution_> every so often i cant move my mouse
[09:44] <jbroome> datil: it is.  all your stuff goes into /home/
[09:44] <MystaMax> arrenlex, thx for the response, can it be fixed?
[09:44] <foobarian> faLUCE, maybe try recreating it? 'aclocal && autoheader && automake -a  && automake && autoconf'
[09:44] <evolution_> so i unpulg the mouse and plug it in then it works for a bit
[09:44] <faLUCE> foobarian: ok.
[09:45] <faLUCE> i'll do it with kdevelop
[09:45] <evolution_> how would i fix it
[09:46] <malt> yo, how do i backup user directorys in home by taring them without saving the hidden files?
[09:46] <datil> jbroome, i guess with just a few apps installed 25GB for the entire / is enough, a clean install now and it's using barely 2GB
[09:46] <slacker_nl> malt: --exclude-files
[09:46] <madman91> iloveubunut: i want entire system
[09:47] <slacker_nl> malt: but look in man tar for the precize syntax
[09:47] <iloveubunut> madman - http://www.debianadmin.com/backup-and-restore-your-ubuntu-system-using-sbackup.html
[09:47] <stefg> datil, my standard setup is like having 5-10 GB for / (root) , 512mB swap, and the rest as /home, possibly some more partitions for special purposes ... vmware machines or audio/video (best on xfs) come to mind
[09:47] <michelp> is there an easy way to tell if my amd64 machine is running the 64 or 32 bit version?
[09:47] <Scunizi> genius314:  Does it work now?
[09:48] <malt> slacker_nl: example?
[09:48] <gnufied> one quick question, ruby 1.8.5p2 is there in official dapper repos?
[09:48] <n2diy> iloveubunut: have you used sbackup?
[09:48] <evolution_> i'm having a problem with ubuntu reconising my mouse, every so often i cant move my mouse so i unpulg the mouse and plug it in then it works for a bit how would i fix it?
[09:48] <datil> stefg, what you mean audio/video, for storing your music and so on?
[09:48] <genius314> Scunizi: Nope. Oh, and I found out why Ctrl-Alt-BackSpace wasn't working - it was the wrong Ctrl and Alt.
[09:48] <slacker_nl> malt: tar --exclude-file .bla zcvf bla.tgx /tmp
[09:48] <Music_Shuffle> ...what?
[09:48] <Music_Shuffle> I can do it with any ctrl or alt. >.>
[09:49] <malt> slacker_nl: there is many hidden files though
[09:49] <madman91> iloveubunut: wow .. looks good
[09:49] <stefg> datil, yes all the non-compressible stuff like mp3, avi, mpg
[09:49] <iloveubunut> n2diy - nope but it looks good
[09:49] <madman91> iloveubunut: thanks
[09:49] <faLUCE> foobarian: it doesn't work
[09:49] <iloveubunut> madman - not a problem. good luck
[09:49] <slacker_nl> malt: excludefile accepts regexps
[09:49] <madman91> iloveubunut: you know that you can press TAB when writing a nickname .. and it will finish the nickname for you?
[09:49] <slacker_nl> malt: or an input file
[09:49] <genius314> ...or maybe it was just because I was doing it in the order Alt-Ctrl-Backspace?
[09:50] <datil> stefg, uhm.. actually that's where i was planning to store that kind of files (mp3, videos), in /home.. should i separate those from /home? and that xfs thing?
[09:50] <iloveubunut> n2diy - I really only use tar and commercial stuff
[09:50] <n2diy> iloveubunut: I tried it, but it didn't give feedback about the progress of the restore, I'm looking over that url, maybe it is fixed now?
[09:51] <iloveubunut> n2diy - veritas netbackup mostly
[09:51] <stefg> datil: actually it's fine to have all your stuff together on /home ... you can have more advanced partiton layouts if you feel like it, but the KISS approach is valid, of course
[09:51] <Shadowfax> can ubuntu be installed on a sparcstation ipx?
[09:51] <Scunizi> genius314:  accept the invite and we'll be able to share the xorg config files.
[09:51] <rambo3> !sparc
[09:51] <ubotu> Have a look here for Docs http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/install/sparc/ KnownIssues and TODO are on the wiki.
[09:51] <genius314> Scunizi: I don't think I can...   Do you know the address to Pastebin?
[09:52] <genius314> Scunizi: Yeah.
[09:53] <Siv0x> I need help installing automatix for v6.06 by accident i installed the wrong automatix version.. but i already removed it.
[09:53] <Music_Shuffle> !automatix
[09:53] <ubotu> 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
[09:53] <Scunizi> gnius314:  Well.... would you enlighten me?
[09:53] <datil> stefg, i see that xfs is another kind of FS.. i'm wondering if i should consider it over ext3.. is it similar to solaris's zfs?
[09:53] <michael20la> i have [ * * * * * echo "this is a test" ]  string in my root crontab file. but it won't execute. ideas?
[09:53] <reiki> !UUID
[09:53] <ubotu> To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in the terminal: "blkid" (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[09:53] <willys_fueguino> I need help with a bootscript... here is it: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39188/
[09:53] <foobarian> faLUCE, i would try another small qt program known to work to see if it fails the same way
[09:53] <pike_> datil: i really only use it for my /tmp
[09:53] <crimsun> datil: ZFS is an entirely different beast from either XFS or ext3.
[09:53] <Kalli> Emh... is it possible to play games if I use ubuntu... I mean Eve online, counter-strike and stuff like that
[09:54] <corin> Kalli: look at wine, it might be able to help
[09:54] <faLUCE> foobarian: solved. i configured it with --with-qt-dir=/usr/share/qt3
[09:54] <Kalli> thanks
[09:54] <stefg> datil: only if you have a /good/ reason not to use the default (ext3). xfs is good with video-editing, but a bit dangerous because it writes real late....
[09:54] <pike_> Kalli: enemy territory, tremulous, wesnoth, ID games like doom3 quake all are native
[09:54] <Scunizi> genius314: if I have the address I'll post me wacom section there so you can compair it to yours.  I'm running Dapper LTS

[09:58] <willys_fueguino> n2diy: I dont know :-
[09:58] <Balachmar> do I need to compile a new kernel then? or is there a fix for the 64 bit kernel, because others have had the same problem
[09:58] <idawood> visual effects
[09:58] <dougsko> anyone ever see anything like this:

[09:58] <Siv0x> Is there any other program like automatix that wont hurt my system?

[10:02] <Theodor> Hey, I'm trying to download an update for my graphic card, which is ATI x600. I'm presented with 2 versions: Xfree and X.org ... which one to download ?
[10:02] <bluefox83> ok, friend o mine needs the use of the dbus daemon from kde..what packages should he install that would get that working?
[10:02] <nnacht> hello, anybody who uses ndiswrapper?
[10:02] <faLUCE> foobarian: let's try
[10:02] <faLUCE> foobarian: ok it works now
[10:02] <lemoniceblock> nnacht: I've used a bit of ndiswrapper
[10:02] <foobarian> cool.
[10:02] <Theodor> Hey, I'm trying to download an update for my graphic card, which is ATI x600. I'm presented with 2 versions: Xfree and X.org ... which one to download ?
[10:03] <crimsun> Theodor: the latter.
[10:03] <Theodor> crimsun, what's the difference?
[10:03] <Theodor> and why the latter?
[10:03] <Lynoure> Theodor: you did not get along with the open source driver for that card?
[10:03] <crimsun> Theodor: Ubuntu hasn't shipped XFree86 since Warty.
[10:03] <nnacht> ok guys, when I try modprobe ndiswrapper, it got the following message: FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper (/lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko): Invalid argument
[10:03] <pike_> dougsko: hrm

[10:04] <dougsko> pike_: i think im gonna go down for a reboot :/
[10:04] <lemoniceblock> nnacht: um, sorry I've never encountered anything like that so I can't help ^^;;
[10:04] <pike_> dougsko: you wont set any uptime records with that attitude!
[10:04] <nnacht> lemoniceblock: no problem, thanks anyway.
[10:05] <nnacht> Anybody else can help with ndiswrapper?
[10:05] <Theodor> Hey, I'm trying to download an update for my graphic card, which is ATI x600. I'm presented with 2 versions: Xfree and X.org ... which one to download ? and why?
[10:06] <dougsko> pike_: oh man, i dont i know it :( i do have 135 days though on my freebsd machine :)
[10:06] <foobarian> Theodor: X.org, because that's what ubuntu uses now.
[10:06] <lemoniceblock> does anyone know anything about wifi radar?
[10:06] <switchar00> I have a quick question.....
[10:06] <Theodor> Do you have a link to see what's the difference between these 2? I'm just curious.
[10:06] <foobarian> lemoniceblock, some wifi cards have radar detection
[10:06] <jbroome> lemoniceblock: you wanna narrow it down a little?
[10:07] <switchar00> when editing a config file does it matter where you add text?
[10:07] <lemoniceblock> foobarian/jbroome: I managed to use ndiswrapper to get my linksys card working
[10:07] <waseem> does anyone know a good flv player?
[10:07] <foobarian> Theodor, Xfree is older... google them for info on philosophical differences
[10:07] <switchar00> when editing a config file does it matter where you add text?
[10:07] <lemoniceblock> foobarian/jbroome: but when I ran iwlist scan it said that no access points found
[10:07] <lemoniceblock> foobarian/jbroome: until I installed wifi-radar
[10:08] <lemoniceblock> foobarian/jbroome: now it lists the access points but when I try to connect, it says unable to resolve ip
[10:08] <lemoniceblock> foobarian/jbroome: oops, I meant 'could not get IP address'
[10:08] <foobarian> lemoniceblock, ah, that wifi-radar... sorry, never used it
[10:08] <switchar00> when editing a config file does it matter where you add text?

[10:10] <foobarian> lemoniceblock, the open ones might not offer dhcp... i guess i would try them in windows first
[10:10] <harrisony1> switchar00, what file are you editing
[10:10] <n2diy> daedra: #ubuntu-offtopic, or something like that.
[10:10] <gRaCiOsO> i have a question about qemu if i give ram memory for my other os "windoze" when im gonna install it am i gonna have less memory for my first os "ubuntu" ?
[10:10] <baikonur> how do I have to mount a partition so that I can write on it directly as a normal user?
[10:10] <Lynoure> daedra: Up to you which of those you consider "general"
[10:10] <foobarian> lemoniceblock, if they work then you know it's you
[10:10] <erUSUL> waseem: mplayer and xine works as good as you can get with flv files (no seek)
[10:10] <switchar00> /etc/privoxy/config
[10:10] <harrisony1> baikonur, what filesystem
[10:10] <daedra> also, how do you change mixer volume from terminal?
[10:10] <lemoniceblock> foobarian: yep, I'm pretty sure they both work on windows
[10:10] <foobarian> daedra, alsamixer
[10:11] <harrisony1> errr mind just putting it into a paste bin and add down the bottem what you have to add
[10:11] <arrenlex> daedra: alsamixer
[10:11] <switchar00> Ill go to the OT room I guess thatnks though
[10:11] <gean> hi!
[10:11] <switchar00> thanks harris
[10:11] <baikonur> harrisony1: ext3
[10:11] <gean> which package gives me the executable [alsaconf]  ? (i miss it, and the sound..)
[10:12] <foobarian> lemoniceblock, maybe wifiradar fubared something... does iwconfig show that the interface is in managed mode?
[10:12] <arrenlex> gean: http://arrenlex.diff.be/alsaconf
[10:12] <lemoniceblock> foobarian: I'll check it out, thanx ^^
[10:12] <baikonur> harrisony1: I have rw,user,noauto as options in /etc/fstab
[10:12] <harrisony1> baikonur, so you want to mout a partition read & write for all users
[10:12] <arrenlex> gean: The package was in debian. Ubuntu's doesn't have it.
[10:12] <faLUCE> foobarian: now, during make, i have this problem X11/extensions/scrnsaver.h: No such file or directory
[10:12] <baikonur> harrisony1: yeah, is this is bad thing to do?
[10:12] <foobarian> faLUCE, sounds like you're missing some X11 -dev files...
[10:12] <foobarian> faLUCE, is this on edgy?
[10:12] <harrisony1> i dont see why it would be bad
[10:13] <ifsilver> Hello togheter How I install SSL to the gftp client? /openSSL ist installed
[10:13] <daedra> hey alsamixer is way cool! ncurses ;)
[10:13] <Theodor> !file heirarchy
[10:13] <Theodor> or something ;p
[10:13] <ubotu> file: Determines file type using "magic" numbers. In component main, is standard. Version 4.17-2ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 30 kB, installed size 100 kB
[10:13] <nova> jhbhkbbkjbjklbkllj
[10:13] <baikonur> harrisony1: I could mkdir a directory then chown it to my user and that I could copy files on the partition, but then I have to put everything under certain folder
[10:13] <nova> khbkjbk
[10:13] <Theodor> Any of you know where I can find the files heirarchy for Ubuntu?
[10:13] <foobarian> daedra, if you need a totally scriptable method, use amixer
[10:13] <faLUCE> foobarian: yes: edgy (i have installed libx11-dev
[10:13] <faLUCE> )
[10:13] <vulcanius> Hey all, at the moment I have my xorg.conf set up for two nvidia cards (2 DVI each, 4 monitors) with two "Screens" each using Twinview. The setup works just fine but I'd like to be able to combine them into one screen so toolbars flow across all 4 monitors instead of just 2. Is this possible?
[10:13] <lemoniceblock> foobarian: yes I think it says managed, but tbh I'm new to Linux so I don't really get what all of it says
[10:13] <Siv0x> yo
[10:13] <ignacio> hello
[10:14] <daedra> foobarian: I like alsamixer anyway :) thanks
[10:14] <foobarian> faLUCE: i'm speechless :) which program are you compiling?
[10:14] <arrenlex> faLUCE: apt-get install x-dev
[10:14] <Siv0x> How do i get my sound drivers.. for an audigy 2 zs
[10:14] <crimsun> Siv0x: they're included.
[10:14] <harrisony1> baikonur, make a direcory as root were you the files and then just just give that folder read write for everyone and do that in fstab as well
[10:14] <faLUCE> foobarian: it's a bad written program... i know
[10:14] <Siv0x> Then why do i not have sound?
[10:14] <lemoniceblock> foobarian: I've got it pasted here though: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39213/
[10:14] <reiki> anyone know WHERE the UUID for a specific file system is stored IN that file system? For instance.... where on /dev/hda1 is the UUID for that device stored?
[10:14] <crimsun> Siv0x: do you have multiple sound devices?
[10:14] <gean> arrenlex thanks, i lost sound and this was a way i got it back for a longer time... i'll try the link
[10:14] <nova> apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[10:15] <crimsun> Siv0x: e.g., onboard and audigy 2 zs
[10:15] <foobarian> lemoniceblock, do ifconfig wlan0 up and re-paste that output
[10:15] <gdiebel> can I use monitor mode on a intel 3945 wireless chipset?
[10:15] <nova> apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[10:15] <harrisony1> try sudo aptitude kubuntu-desktop
[10:15] <lemoniceblock> foobarian: sorry, it says SIOCSIFFLAGS: Permission denied
[10:15] <harrisony1> makes it easier when uninstalling
[10:16] <Siv0x> No i dont have multiple sound devices
[10:16] <crimsun> Siv0x: pastebin your ``amixer'' output.
[10:16] <faLUCE> arrenlex: it doesn't work even with x-dev
[10:16] <alienseer23> Q; if I bought a new 5.1 speaker system, have a sb live 24 bit card which supports multichannel sound, & did a bit of tinkering which is supposed to make the 5.1 work, but did not, how would I go about 'resetting' alsa to it's original state (other than manually undoing all of my changes), and getting alsa to reconfigure and redect the hardware it is supporting?
[10:16] <arrenlex> faLUCE: Well that's annoying. Sorry. = /
[10:16] <crimsun> alienseer23: what did you tinker?
[10:17] <Siv0x> anything else crimsun?
[10:17] <vulcanius> Siv0x: have you checked and made sure nothing is muted and all of the volumes are turned up?
[10:17] <Siv0x> Ofcourse...
[10:17] <crimsun> Siv0x: I asked you for output; have you pastebinned it?
[10:17] <arrenlex> faLUCE: You could use the second box on packages.ubuntu.com to search for that scrnsaver.h file or whatever it was, and install that package, if it exists.
[10:17] <arrenlex> faLUCE: Good luck...
[10:17] <foobarian> lemoniceblock, use sudo
[10:17] <alienseer23> crimsun: nothing too major, just the ~.asoundrc file and the rc.local file
[10:18] <Siv0x> pastebinned it? what?
[10:18] <crimsun> Siv0x: see the topic.
[10:18] <lemoniceblock> foobarian: kk, sry I'm a newbie ^^;;
[10:18] <genius314> Anyone have problems running Beep Media Player?
[10:18] <crimsun> Siv0x: I gave you command; paste the output from that command onto the paste Web site mentioned in the topic.
[10:18] <crimsun> a command, rather
[10:18] <crimsun> alienseer23: pastebin your ~/.asoundrc
[10:18] <crimsun> alienseer23: and your ``lspci -nv''
[10:18] <haary> hello
[10:19] <Siv0x> K.
[10:19] <Siv0x> Give me a sec.
[10:19] <alienseer23> crimsun: allright...
[10:19] <nova> I have a amd64 and want to install flash and java, how do I do this?
[10:19] <harrisony1> nova, download flash 9 beta from adobe
[10:19] <nova> did
[10:20] <harrisony1> and move to $HOME/.mozilla/plugins
[10:20] <lemoniceblock> foobarian: sry the error msg is gone now but there's no output at all
[10:20] <nova> now what do i do with the bin file
[10:20] <harrisony1> bin file?
[10:20] <ifsilver> How I install SSL to the GFTP Client? Exists a good wiki ?
[10:20] <nova> i moed it to firefox/plugins
[10:20] <harrisony1> it should be a .so  or .ko
[10:20] <nova> yeah it so sorry
[10:20] <crimsun> harrisony1: / nova: no, use the flashplugin-nonfree package from -backports, please.
[10:20] <nova> i moed it to the firefox/plugins
[10:21] <nova> is that wrong?
[10:21] <curs0r> how do i deny internet access to a local program?
[10:21] <alienseer23> crimsun: here is asoundrc  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39214/
[10:21] <sinizzl> curs0r: that's an interesting question
[10:21] <curs0r> like keep it from accessing the internet
[10:21] <sinizzl> keke
[10:21] <harrisony1> its not wrong but its easier to go with installing the package
[10:21] <crimsun> nova: wait, are you aware of what you need to do for amd64?
[10:21] <foobarian> lemoniceblock, no output from 'iwconfig'?
[10:21] <nova> im aware of copy and paste
[10:21] <nova> and i pasted the damn so in firefox/plugins
[10:21] <crimsun> nova: you need a 32-bit firefox, 32-bit alsa libs, and the flash plugin
[10:22] <nova> omg, well link me
[10:22] <crimsun> search the wiki.
[10:22] <lemoniceblock> foobarian: I get http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39216/ from iwconfig
[10:22] <curs0r> i want cedega to stay offline because steam crashes when it updates for some reason
[10:22] <vulcanius> actually crimsun you can use flash with the 64 bit firefox
[10:22] <mojojojo__> crimsun, what distro do you have?
[10:23] <curs0r> the cedega people don'tseem toknow how
[10:23] <alienseer23> crimsun: here is the lspci -nv http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39218/
[10:23] <crimsun> vulcanius: sure, if you have the other components I listed.
[10:23] <harrisony1> nova, people are helping you dont get aggressive
[10:23] <vulcanius> crimsun: eh, you need more than that, lol
[10:23] <crimsun> mojojojo__: which one do you think I have? :)
[10:23] <nova> lol, not mad
[10:23] <nova> lol
[10:23] <nova> sorry
[10:23] <kmasta> can some one help me upgrade to the new fglrx drivers for my ATI card
[10:23] <genius314> Scunizi: Still there?
[10:23] <foobarian> lemoniceblock, you're right, it's not associating... could be a driver problem? what card is it ?
[10:24] <mojojojo__> crimsun, I wanted to ask you about alsa... I upgraded to edgy yesterday and now it doesn't wor... Firefox as welll
[10:24] <vulcanius> nova: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1174435
[10:24] <crimsun> mojojojo__: please be more precise (and concise)
[10:24] <lemoniceblock> foobarian: it's a linksys wpc54g ver.4
[10:24] <nova> thank you
[10:24] <vulcanius> np
[10:25] <lemoniceblock> foobarian: when I type ndiswrapper -l, it says everything's working OK
[10:25] <crimsun> alienseer23: your asoundrc is fairly useless
[10:25] <firepol> hi there, did somebody of you install openoffice 2.1? i did it following this guide: http://bodmas.org/blog/?p=523 it works but... the save dialog is different. i mean if i have a usb stick on the desktop, openoffice doesnt see it, i have to browse under /media
[10:25] <crimsun> alienseer23: unless you override pcm.!default {}, that routing does not take effect
[10:25] <alienseer23> crimsun: I followed some tutorial
[10:25] <mojojojo__> crimsun, OSS works but ALSA doesn't
[10:25] <mojojojo__> crimsun, after upgrade to edgy
[10:25] <crimsun> mojojojo__: please be more precise. Do you mean oss/free or alsa's oss emulation?
[10:26] <alienseer23> crimsun: how do I do this?
[10:26] <firepol> harrysony, remember my questzions about the netboot image? check my blog post under http://www.pbworks.net/wp ...
[10:26] <crimsun> alienseer23: first, did you test plug:surround51 with a 6-channel pcm file?
[10:26] <alienseer23> ... no
[10:26] <crimsun> alienseer23: there's no need to go through contortions to create an asoundrc for your sound device.
[10:26] <vulcanius> alienseer23: what crimson means is try running mplayer or aplay with a file.... ie
[10:27] <Siv0x> Okay i still cant figure out how to get sound.. again i have a sound blaster audigy 2 zs.
[10:27] <foobarian> lemoniceblock, unfortunately i don't have experience with ndiswrapper... i guess i would suggest to remove wifi-radar and try getting things running with ndiswrapper alone
[10:27] <vulcanius> mplayer <song> -ao alsa:device=hw=0.0
[10:27] <mojojojo__> crimsun, oss/free... alsa's oss emulation isn't installed at all
[10:28] <slacker_nl> all
[10:28] <lemoniceblock> foobarian: ok, thanks, I'll try messing with ndiswrapper a bit more
[10:28] <slacker_nl> is there  way to see all the devices my pc has via cli?
[10:28] <slacker_nl> i have a pc with some exotic soundcard
[10:28] <pike_> slacker_nl: lspci -v | grep audio
[10:29] <foobarian> faLUCE, it seems you need x11proto-scrnsaver-dev
[10:29] <vulcanius> alienseer23: sometimes you may need to use "mplayer <song> -ao alsa:device=plughw=0.0
[10:29] <slacker_nl> pike_: to no avail
[10:29] <slacker_nl> pike_: it does not detect it, and with the device manager itdoes not even display a vendor or device id
[10:29] <faLUCE> foobarian: yes, other people suggested it too
[10:29] <relbs> is there a recommended GUI application for burning ISO images to CDs?
[10:30] <faLUCE> foobarian: ok, it works
[10:30] <pike_> slacker_nl: tear that case open!
[10:30] <crimsun> Siv0x: I asked you for information.  Why do I have to prod you to provide this information?
[10:30] <slacker_nl> pike_: i would love too (its already open, but I wanna go home and proceed from there)
[10:30] <relbs> ok, thanks for the suggestions
[10:30] <Siv0x> I'm new.. sorry - everything is so confusing =\
[10:30] <crimsun> Siv0x: have you not been paying attention at all?
[10:30] <faLUCE> foobarian: LOL :). it's a chat client, badly compiled:)
[10:30] <Siv0x> yeah i have.
[10:30] <vulcanius> Siv0x: what problem are you having?
[10:31] <Siv0x> No sound..
[10:31] <slacker_nl> vulcanius: yeah, onboard of soem old dell dekstop
[10:31] <pike_> slacker_nl: seriously though a sblive card is like 29 dollars.. just depends how much you want to fool with it
[10:31] <crimsun> Siv0x: 16:16 < crimsun> Siv0x: pastebin your ``amixer'' output.
[10:31] <robtp> hi, im having a problem with my keys I could use some help with

[10:31] <psyoptik> does anyone know about a bug regarding the startup programs section under sessions? Everytime I add something to the startup programs list, it doesn't stay there. I close the window, open right back up and same list as before I added anything...any ideas?
[10:31] <robtp> the Function keys dont totally work, can anyone offer anything?
[10:31] <mojojojo__> crimsun, well, maybe because I'm not experienced enough to know which information is relevant
[10:31] <_berGi> hey
[10:32] <_berGi> i was trying to configure my asoundrc. as to work with a 5.1 sound system
[10:32] <Scunizi> How do I recall the topic line?
[10:32] <_berGi> but it didnt work for some reason
[10:32] <genius314> Does anyone else know how to configure a Wacom tablet?
[10:32] <slacker_nl> pike_: I already spent like 8 hrs on this machine only to get ubuntu installed.. I just want to have sound :(
[10:32] <crimsun> good lord, why do people do random crap to their sound systems and then complain when it doesn't work?
[10:32] <lemoniceblock> Thanks for the help all, have a nice day! :)
[10:32] <Siv0x> Vulcanius, I have a audigy 2 zs sound card and i'm not even sure what type of motherboard i have.. lol
[10:32] <Scunizi> nevermind.. saw it a couple lines above my post
[10:32] <pike_> slacker_nl: other than googl'n the motherboard model or checking in bios..
[10:32] <vulcanius> genius314: give this a shot
[10:32] <crimsun> Siv0x: ok, small steps. pastebin your ``amixer'' output, then tell me the URL.

[10:33] <robtp> animal: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[10:33] <Siv0x> type that in console?
[10:33] <crimsun> mojojojo__: ...so which driver are you using?
[10:33] <foobarian> slacker, use mplayer
[10:33] <genius314> vulcanius: Thanks.
[10:33] <animal> Ah thanks robtp
[10:33] <harrisony1> kde reminds me of windows arghhh
[10:33] <slacker> thanks

[10:33] <animal> I like Windows, but I prefer Linux ^^
[10:34] <animal> Personally I see no reason to bash it
[10:34] <foobarian> slacker_nl, no, i was talking to the other slacker ;)
[10:34] <slacker_nl> hehehe
[10:34] <slacker_nl> foobarian: sorry for that
[10:34] <vulcanius> Siv0x: please pastebin your "amixer", "aplay -l" and "aplay -L" and post the link here

[10:34] <harrisony1> apokryphos, i would but still that K Menu, the only think that makes me like it is amarok
[10:34] <psyoptik> anyone know anything about problems with the startup programs section in the Sessions manager? I can't seem to add anything that actually starts there to startup.
[10:34] <slacker> Am curious, what is the most popular distro?
[10:34] <daedra> animal: windows has its advantages - in gaming for example, but this is only because of vendors being locked into Direct X
[10:34] <apokryphos> harrisony1: and again, so change the k menu.
[10:35] <mnoir> slacker: you mean in this channel?
[10:35] <foobarian> slacker_nl, have you checked output of 'lspci' yet?

[10:38] <M0E^lnx> I just installed ubuntu, and I got no sound... someone help me
[10:38] <foobarian> slacker_nl either it's ISA or it's not enabled in BIOS... hm
[10:38] <crimsun> M0E^lnx: what hardware do you have? (I mean sound)
[10:38] <slacker_nl> mmmm, good one
[10:38] <slacker_nl> will check in a minutre
[10:38] <stefg> !sound | M0E^lnx
[10:38] <ubotu> M0E^lnx: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin

[10:38] <slacker> harrisony1, thanks
[10:38] <M0E^lnx> crimsun: intel
[10:38] <crimsun> slacker_nl: it'd help if you told us which sound hardware you use
[10:38] <kcinna> for some reason, gnomebaker can't create a proper dvd from an iso, even though this iso plays fine if i mount it
[10:38] <crimsun> M0E^lnx: more precise, please.
[10:39] <kcinna> is there some better software for this purpose?
[10:39] <crimsun> mojojojo__: no, which sound driver are you using -right now-?
[10:39] <slacker_nl> crimsun: I will tell you
[10:39] <Siv0x> Okay i pasted it..
[10:39] <crimsun> mojojojo__: meaning, i810_audio? snd-intel8x0? snd-hda-intel?
[10:39] <M0E^lnx> crimsun: alsamixer shows a hda Intel card and a chip : Realtek ALC883
[10:39] <slacker_nl> once I get home and some sleep
[10:39] <pike_> kcinna: k3b is imo much better than gnomebaker
[10:39] <crimsun> M0E^lnx: you need a newer version of alsa than what's included in 6.06 or 6.10.
[10:39] <slacker_nl> crimsun: I only needed the hw info for now from ubuntu
[10:40] <genius314> vulcanius: Thanks. Exactly what I was looking for.
[10:40] <slacker_nl> and go from there
[10:40] <crimsun> M0E^lnx: essentially you need to compile alsa-driver 1.0.13 from http://www.alsa-project.org
[10:40] <stefg> kcinna: i'd recommend k3b, even if if you have to get the KDE-libs for that
[10:41] <psyoptik> does anyone know why it take so long for nautilus to start after doing "sudo nautilus". take 2 mins or more to start.
[10:41] <kcinna> pike_ and stefg, i'll try k3b, thanks guys!
[10:41] <Scunizi> psyoptik, try gksudo nautilus
[10:41] <mojojojo__> crimsun, snd_pcm
[10:42] <cody_> Can anyone recommend a good itunes replacement?
[10:42] <eilker> !k3b
[10:42] <ubotu> k3b is a feature-rich and user-friendly burning application for KDE (and, as all KDE applications, works fine on GNOME). For a guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/K3BHowto
[10:42] <Siv0x> Crimsun, i pastebinned it.. now what?
[10:42] <stefg> !iTunes
[10:42] <ubotu> itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee
[10:42] <crimsun> Siv0x: tell me the url
[10:43] <harrisony1> cody_, try amarok
[10:43] <crimsun> mojojojo__: no, that's not the driver.
[10:43] <harrisony1> !amarok
[10:43] <ubotu> Amarok is an audio player for Linux with an intuitive interface. The latest version is 1.4.3 for Dapper and 1.4.4 for Edgy and packages are  available for Kubuntu at www.kubuntu.org See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Amarok
[10:43] <crimsun> mojojojo__: pastebin ``cat /proc/asound/modules && amixer''
[10:43] <cody_> harrisony1, thanks
[10:43] <Siv0x> Crimsun: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39226/
[10:43] <crimsun> Siv0x: thanks.
[10:44] <crimsun> Siv0x: no, that's not what we're looking for.
[10:44] <Siv0x> crimsun: np - i would have done it alot sooner if i would have known how to do it lol.
[10:44] <psyoptik> when I type "gksudo nautilus" from the command line I get this error and still takes a long time. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39224/
[10:44] <crimsun> Siv0x: we want the output from those commands.
[10:44] <Siv0x> So i enter those commands in konsole..
[10:44] <Siv0x> and then paste you what it says?
[10:45] <kmasta> how do I update my fglrx drivers to the latest version?
[10:45] <Scunizi> psyoptik, I get the same error but mine will load in seconds.  I'm on Dapper.  Sorry can't help more.
[10:45] <crimsun> Siv0x: onto that paste Web site, yes
[10:45] <cHaPlinux>  como que joga uma textura no inkscape ?
[10:45] <harrisony1> psyoptik, um....thats kinda normal
[10:45] <harrisony1> try a sudo nautilus
[10:46] <tonyyarusso> !es | cHaPlinux
[10:46] <ubotu> cHaPlinux: Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendrn mas ayuda.
[10:46] <M0E^lnx> crimsun: do I just compile the alsa driver, or the entire alsa thing?
[10:46] <aztek> hey i've already installed the default ubuntu server. is there a way to get it to auto config to be a LAMP or do i just install again choosing that option
[10:46] <deepsa> guys i have installed apache and my apache daemon is running i do nmap and it shows 80 and 443 port open but when i do http://localhost nothing shows up i have my document root at /var/www/localhost/htdocs. and in that i have a index.html file
[10:46] <daishadar> i'm trying to install 6.10 desktop on amd64, and after selecting install from the boot cd i get the ubuntu logo but it's grayed out... then it just sits there... how can i debug that?
[10:46] <malt> how can i back the /home/ directory in linux and have it to tar each sub folder?
[10:47] <tonyyarusso> aztek: afaik there's not super-easy way, but !lamp has info.  There was once a metapackage, but I don't think it exists currently
[10:47] <AnRkey> i want to set up an Ubuntu ltsp test server, does anyone know of a good howto?
[10:47] <Scunizi> deepsa, not sure on this one.  Try <IP_ADDRESS>:80
[10:47] <mojojojo__> crimsun, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39227/
[10:47] <Siv0x> pastebin your "amixer", "aplay -l" and "aplay -L             this is what i enter in konsole also right crimsun?
[10:47] <aztek> oh ok. i will just reinstall. was hoping to not have to setup squid again but oh well. thx
[10:47] <mnoir> deepsa: you are far enough along to discuss in #apache
[10:47] <pike_>  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39224/
[10:47] <stefg> AnRkey: look at edubuntu, might be easier
[10:48] <M0E^lnx> crimsun: what do I need from the alsa project? just the alsa-driver tarball?
[10:48] <deepsa> mnoir: please help dude
[10:48] <crimsun> M0E^lnx: only alsa-driver.
[10:48] <pike_> ach nm sry guys
[10:48] <M0E^lnx> ok
[10:48] <daedra> deepsa: you _are_ everwhere!
[10:48] <crimsun> Siv0x: no, ``amixer && aplay -lL''
[10:48] <deepsa> daedra: /join #deepsa for more info
[10:48] <daedra> heh
[10:49] <eegore> Anyone here work with 64 bit EDGY an d Audigy 2 soun cards and have issues with the mic working with Skype and Teamspeak?
[10:49] <defiant> Does anyone know anything about internet tv?
[10:49] <kmasta> how do i tell what fglrx drivers I am using?
[10:49] <harrisony1> defiant, what about it
[10:49] <grnwood> fglrxinfo
[10:49] <defiant> Like how to install it and where to get it from harrisony1
[10:50] <Siv0x> Crimsun: okay here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39228/
[10:50] <harrisony1> iirc democracy
[10:50] <harrisony1> !emocracy  | defiant
[10:50] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about emocracy - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:50] <harrisony1> !democracy  | defiant
[10:50] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about democracy - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:50] <harrisony1> errr 1 sec
[10:50] <kmasta> grnwood, typing fglrxinfo didn't work
[10:50] <Aoirthoir> UBUNTU!
[10:50] <pike_> eegore: what sort of problem with the mic? i know there have been several threads on ubuntuforums.org about setting up in alsamixer
[10:51] <defiant> harrisony1, democracy is the only one?
[10:51] <eegore> mic is hardly being picked up
[10:51] <harrisony1> defiant, there are others im looking up
[10:51] <crimsun> mojojojo__: kill -t $(lsof -t /dev/dsp* /dev/snd/*) && sudo modprobe -r $(lsmod |grep ^snd |awk '{print $1}') && sudo rm -f /var/lib/alsa/asound.state && sudo modprobe snd-cmipci
[10:51] <crimsun> mojojojo__: sorry
[10:51] <crimsun> mojojojo__: kill $(lsof -t /dev/dsp* /dev/snd/*) && sudo modprobe -r $(lsmod |grep ^snd |awk '{print $1}') && sudo rm -f /var/lib/alsa/asound.state && sudo modprobe snd-cmipci
[10:51] <defiant> harrisony1, Thank you very much
[10:51] <harrisony1> defiant, edgy or dapper
[10:52] <eegore> Works fine in 32 bit but the apps are 32 and had to be installed with the linux32 command
[10:52] <defiant> harrisony1, I really do not know. I installed Kubunu 64 bit
[10:52] <pike_> eegore: there is a micboost in alsamixer. i know this was discussed in the forums not 64 specific but probably same problem.
[10:52] <harrisony1> errr ok well did you get fro, shipit or download and burn, and can i ask what made you choose kde (kubuntu) over gnome (ubuntu)
[10:53] <eegore> It is already on
[10:53] <grnwood> kmasta - do you have xorg-driver-fglrx instlaled?
[10:53] <kmasta> grnwood, i think so. how can i tell?
[10:53] <defiant> I downloaded the ISO and I chose KDE over gnome cause the person that I know that helps me said that it is much better.
[10:54] <grnwood> kmasta -  dpkg -l xorg-driver-fglrx
[10:54] <vulcanius> defiant: KDE is typically better for those who want more eyecandy and who have better performance systems.
[10:54] <vulcanius> defiant: GNOME is a more simple, faster desktop but it lacks some of the cool features KDE packs
[10:54] <defiant> vulcanius, yes that is why he told me to get it
[10:54] <harrisony1> defiant, Did you say you had amd64
[10:54] <kmasta> grnwood, it says command not found
[10:54] <defiant> harrisony1, yes
[10:54] <crimsun> Siv0x: amixer set 'External Amplifier' off
[10:55] <cntb> kde is more usable period
[10:55] <kmasta> grnwood, no wait
[10:55] <cntb> I wish gnome listened more to users
[10:55] <vulcanius> cntb: that's all a matter of opinion so don't start
[10:55] <Siv0x> crimsun: and that will fix it?
[10:55] <daishadar> has anyone successfully gotten an amd64 desktop install working? anytime i select something from the boot menu i get a ubuntu logo that's grayed out
[10:55] <cntb> exactly vulcanius my opinion
[10:55] <kmasta> grnwood, it says Status=Not/Installe/Config-firles/Unpacked
[10:55] <harrisony1> !democracyplayer  | defiant
[10:55] <ubotu> democracyplayer: GTK+ based RSS video aggregator. In component universe, is optional. Version <IP_ADDRESS>-1 (edgy), package size 480 kB, installed size 2984 kB
[10:55] <cntb> opinions matter
[10:56] <vulcanius> cntb: so take it in private, not here
[10:56] <defiant> harrisony1, ok so that is the best one
[10:56] <pengulord> whats the min specs for ubuntu
[10:56] <kmasta> grnwood, but it shows i'm using 7.1.0-8.28.8for my ATI driver so thats
[10:56] <crimsun> Siv0x: can't tell for sure until you try it. There will likely be additional steps.
[10:56] <harrisony1> defiant, yeah from what i can see
[10:56] <kmasta> grnwood, do you know how I can get the latest fglrx driver?
[10:56] <harrisony1> http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/pculture.org/democracy/linux/ubuntu/democracyplayer_<IP_ADDRESS>-1ubuntupcf_amd64.deb
[10:56] <defiant> harrisony1, Have you ever installed it?
[10:56] <malt> how can i backup the /home/ directory in linux and have it to tar each users folder subfolders?
[10:57] <harrisony1> defiant, no but http://getdemocracy.com/watch look pretty neat
[10:57] <harrisony1> http://www.getdemocracy.com/help/get-started/
[10:57] <grnwood> kmasta .. what version ubuntu?
[10:57] <pengulord> how much ram should i have to run ubuntu
[10:57] <n2diy> malt: right click on the directory, and select archive.
[10:57] <defiant> excellent I will try it now
[10:57] <grnwood> kmasta - usually 'sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx' is just fine.
[10:57] <malt> n2diy: in ssh
[10:57] <Siv0x> crimsun: k let me test this.
[10:57] <vulcanius> pengulord: that depends on what desktop you use
[10:57] <kmasta> grnwood, i'm using edgy
[10:58] <pengulord> most recent
[10:58] <n2diy> malt: nope, locally.
[10:58] <pike_> pengulord: well at least 128 would be a good idea. really 256 and less id say install xubuntu
[10:58] <grnwood> kmasta .. then 'sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx' should be good
[10:58] <malt> n2diy: how do i do that in ssh? like do you know the command?
[10:58] <cntb> gnomebaker failed  on time critical mission to copy edgy install CD
[10:58] <Siv0x> crimsun: still no sound.
[10:58] <n2diy> malt: no I don't.
[10:58] <defiant> harrisony1, I do not think that works with my version of FF
[10:59] <cntb> i.e. at least defaults are nt OK
[10:59] <kmasta> grnwood, E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[10:59] <kmasta> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[10:59] <grnwood> kmasta ... you have synaptic running now?
[10:59] <penguinlord> doh
[10:59] <compengi> Pensacola, you should have at least 256MB ram and 2GB hdd to install ubuntu
[10:59] <kmasta> oh yea
[10:59] <kmasta> grnwood, o yea
[10:59] <kmasta> grnwood, ok i got it to work. But it says I have the latest drivers which isn't true.
[11:00] <grnwood> hmm
[11:00] <grnwood> try
[11:00] <cntb> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? <-- very common.. several install progs can lock
[11:00] <nobitapr> hey
[11:00] <grnwood> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-driver-fglrx
[11:00] <cntb> apt-get aptitude synaptic
[11:00] <kmasta> grnwood, ok done
[11:00] <nobitapr> is password for admin?
[11:01] <mnoir> nobitapr: in what situation?
[11:01] <nobitapr> i cannot logon with admin
[11:01] <grnwood> kmasta - for me ' dpkg --listfiles xorg-driver-fglrx  | grep fglrxinfo'
[11:01] <kmasta> grnwood, oh wait, maybe i have the latest 64 bit drives
[11:01] <eyalw> hi!
[11:01] <mnoir> !sudo | nobitapr
[11:01] <ubotu> nobitapr: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[11:01] <grnwood> kmasta ... shows me '/usr/bin/fglrxinfo'
[11:01] <crimsun> Siv0x: ok, next thing to try is: amixer set 'Duplicate Front' on && amixer set 'LFE' 80%,on && amixer set 'Center' on && amixer set 'Surround' 80%,80%,on
[11:02] <kmasta> grnwood, yea that's what it shows me too
[11:02] <pengulord> whats the differnce between ub xub and ect
[11:02] <nobitapr> thanks
[11:02] <mnoir> nobitapr: it helps?
[11:02] <grnwood> so 'fglrxinfo' at the prompt should show your your displays and drivers
[11:02] <pike_> !xubuntu| pengulord
[11:02] <ubotu> pengulord: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of Gnome. For more info, see http://www.xubuntu.org - To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop"
[11:02] <eyalw> I need help from the wise elders on setting up Eclipse CDT to compile the code for me, and generally how to use this beast!
[11:02] <nobitapr> not yet :)

[11:03] <kmasta> grnwood, that's all it shows me
[11:03] <Siv0x> crimson: k done.. cd is still playing but no sound.
[11:03] <mnoir> nobitapr: what are you trying to do?
[11:03] <pike_> pengulord: well xubuntu uses xfce and is lighter on resources vs ubuntu which uses gnome
[11:03] <grnwood> kmasta.... open /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:03] <grnwood> kmasta ... make sure you have something like
[11:03] <kmasta> grnwood, in nano?
[11:03] <grnwood> Section "DRI"

[11:04] <pengulord> itll be my first linux os
[11:05] <M0E^lnx> crimsun: that alsa driver is not available via apt-get?
[11:05] <mnoir> nobitapr: the link i gave you explains that there is not a password set for root - there is another way to do root things
[11:05] <kcinna> pike_ and stefg, the disc burned with k3b won't even mount. the gnomebaker disc mounted but was corrupted
[11:05] <crimsun> M0E^lnx: no, it's not released as stable, and it won't be backported to 6.06 or 6.10.
[11:05] <mnoir> nobitapr: should use your own pswd
[11:05] <kmasta> grnwood, yea i have both those
[11:05] <kmasta> grnwood, could it have anything to do with i'm on 64-bit?
[11:05] <crimsun> M0E^lnx: however, we've already merged it via 2.6.20-rc2 in feisty's kernel.
[11:05] <Skorgu|Work> Anyone know how I could find the configure string that the ubuntu apache2 package uses or an apache 2.2 package for ubuntu?
[11:05] <stefg> kcinna: are you sure that the source image is ok?
[11:06] <nobitapr> mnoir: yeah
[11:06] <pike_> pengulord: what kind of system? cpu/ram?
[11:06] <M0E^lnx> crimsun: my build fails... I need to get it some other way
[11:06] <kcinna> stefg: yeah, i think it's ok. if i mount the image to a directory, i can play that directory with vlc no problem
[11:06] <crimsun> M0E^lnx: where does it fail? Note that you need linux-headers-$(uname -r) installed.
[11:06] <defiant> Does anyone know how to launch the democracy tv player? I installed it but can not find it
[11:06] <grnwood> kmasta ... very well could
[11:07] <grnwood> kmasta ... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39231/ my xorg.conf
[11:07] <pike_> defiant: maybe apropos democracy
[11:07] <grnwood> kmasta maybe that helps .... i have no exp with 64 bit
[11:07] <M0E^lnx> crimsun: i have the headers installed... but make gives me an error
[11:07] <jjh> _
[11:07] <eyalw> I need help from the wise elders on setting up Eclipse CDT to compile the code for me, and generally how to use this beast!
[11:07] <kmasta> grnwood, i have no idea what i'm doing so...
[11:08] <sc0tty_> hello
[11:08] <crimsun> M0E^lnx: did you ``./configure --with-oss=yes --with-sequencer=yes --with-kernel=/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build --with-debug=detect'' first?

[11:10] <kmasta> grnwood, yea i can't see much difference in our x.orgconfs other than the fact you have some other input devices and second monitor
[11:10] <nobitapr> mnoir: espert?
[11:10] <pike_> defiant: should have searched man pages for a mention
[11:10] <crimsun> M0E^lnx: pastebin the error

[11:11] <gaten> pike_:  do you know of any docs to get me started?
[11:11] <Scunizi> Since Ooo can create PDF forms, when opened in Evince or Document Viewer, neither allow direct entry of data into the form. Can I fix that other than installing Adobe Acrobat?
[11:11] <mnoir> gaten: server does not have x running so how can you vnc to it?

[11:11] <imbecile> hey guys, I'm trying to dual boot install with dapper drake and i'm learning from video.. the only problem is while im in the live distro my soundcard has only worked once, any suggestions?
[11:11] <nobitapr> mnoir: and you?
[11:11] <kmasta> grnwood, hey wait
[11:11] <kane77> hi...
[11:12] <kcinna> damn im really confused guys, i can mount the image to a directory like mount -o loop dvd.iso /mnt/dvd and use vlc to play that directory, but i've tried 3 different software packages to burn the iso to a dvd, and none of them create a working dvd, what am i doing wrong?
[11:12] <mnoir> nobitapr: I am not an expert, only 17 yrs with linux
[11:12] <kmasta> grnwood, whats that "Extensions" section
[11:12] <kmasta> grnwood, something on digg.com is telling me i need to add that
[11:12] <kane77> is there any difference (in packages) on for example en. repository and other (sk. or de.)??
[11:12] <pike_> gaten: im not familiar with that ap
[11:12] <nobitapr> mnoir: 17yrs
[11:12] <gaten> pike_:  ok thanks

[11:19] <nobitapr> mnoir: thanks for help
[11:19] <M0E^lnx> crimsun: it is 1.09rc4a
[11:19] <Aardwolf> *instead of gnome
[11:19] <crimsun> M0E^lnx: no, use 1.0.13.
[11:19] <nobitapr> mnoir: i'm sleeping :)
[11:19] <pike_> !fixres | chrisjw
[11:19] <mnoir> nobitapr: i hope it does help :)
[11:19] <ubotu> chrisjw: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type "sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart" in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[11:19] <voraistos> bluebyte_ it might be  AIGLX is activatd... otherwise i dont know :P
[11:19] <M0E^lnx> crimsun: does ubuntu use checkintall to create an "uninstallable package"?
[11:19] <bluebyte_> chrisjw: you can set the resolution by yourself. /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:19] <harrisony1> Aardwolf, it should be the same resoloution as when you log in
[11:19] <crimsun> M0E^lnx: Ubuntu does not use checkinstall.
[11:20] <nobitapr> mnoir: bye
[11:20] <M0E^lnx> after make, just sudo make install?
[11:20] <BigToe> guys how do I convert a xvid video to dvd?
[11:20] <mnoir> nobitapr: bb:)
[11:20] <harrisony1> chrisjw, what graphics card you have
[11:20] <crimsun> M0E^lnx: sudo make install-modules
[11:20] <M0E^lnx> crimsun: or is there a way to create it into a package and then install?
[11:20] <robtp> can anyone help me with all of my function keys not working as they should?
[11:20] <ProN00b> how can i disable "bug buddy" ?
[11:20] <chrisjw> TNT2
[11:20] <mnoir> BigToe: have you tried that question in google?
[11:20] <stefg> imbecile: hmmm... actually i think you should get hands-on support... is there a local Linux-User Group in your vincinity? If yu don't have experience with partitioning and stuff, it could result in data loss
[11:20] <bluebyte_> Voraistos: How can i disable AIGLX???
[11:20] <harrisony1> robtp,what you mean
[11:20] <BigToe> mnoir, :(
[11:20] <BigToe> clicking #ubuntu is easier than googling
[11:21] <imbecile> stefg, thanks
[11:21] <M0E^lnx> crimsun: and there is no way to package the stuff?
[11:21] <voraistos> BigToe: there is a qt app for that, but i cant remember the name. basically what you need is files < 1024 megs and mpeg2 compression
[11:21] <robtp> harrisony1: i did a pretty length explanation at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1940967#post1940967
[11:21] <BigToe> ok voraistos thanks
[11:21] <harrisony1> robtp, ok will look
[11:21] <Aardwolf> harrisony1, it isn't, the very first graphical screen that comes after ubuntu has booted, it has a very large resolution. My desktop (both KDE and gnome) are 1280*1024 with 85Hz. This login screen is a huge resolution, at 60Hz, but I want it to be 1280*1024 at 85Hz too (especially because my computer froze last time I went back to the login screen just after the monitor changed to that huge resolution). How do I set it to 1280*1240?
[11:21] <robtp> harrisony1: is that harrison, ny?
[11:22] <crimsun> Siv0x: wait, are you just trying to use your Live?
[11:22] <kcinna> damn im really confused guys, i can mount the image to a directory like mount -o loop dvd.iso /mnt/dvd and use vlc to play that directory, but i've tried 3 different software packages to burn the iso to a dvd, and none of them create a working dvd, what am i doing wrong?
[11:22] <voraistos> bluebyte_ i havent touched that stuff for ages, and i use the open source drivers, but check to wiki they should talk about some "composite" option somewhere
[11:22] <crimsun> Siv0x: or Audigy, rather
[11:22] <stefg> imbecile: where are you located? i could look up the ubuntu LoCo group for your area and post you a link
[11:22] <harrisony1> robtp, yes  my name is harrison
[11:22] <Siv0x> crimsun: my Audigy.. Ubuntu is installed on my pc.
[11:22] <crimsun> Siv0x: if so, apologies, too many support issues.
[11:22] <crimsun> Siv0x: oh, that's simple, then.
[11:23] <crimsun> Siv0x: what's the output from ``asoundconf list''?
[11:23] <chrisjw> IF I PUT 1280x1240 in  /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:23] <chrisjw> does that mean i can use that font?
[11:23] <harrisony1> Aardwolf, hmm i see try the ubuntu forums and post in the beginners area or advance if your advance
[11:23] <bluebyte_> voraistos: do you mean the drm drivers?

[11:24] <crimsun> Siv0x: then restart any alsa apps (it may be easier to log out and back in)

[11:24] <malt> to use sendmail, do i have to have some smtp server installed, or will sendmail its self be ok?
[11:24] <voraistos> bluebyte_ huh? i was just talking about deactivating the x.org composite option... to be honest i dont know how fglrx works ...
[11:24] <pike_> kcinna: im assuming youre selecting "burn image" right?  you could try like "cdrecord -v -pad speed=8 src.iso"
[11:24] <TC`> how to make wlan card work?
[11:24] <harrisony1> robtp, hmm i see try press f6 (with beryl enabled)

[11:24] <imbecile> can anyone give me some soundcard support?
[11:24] <Siv0x> Okay, brb then crimsun.
[11:24] <crimsun> M0E^lnx: ...it exists in 1.0.13. What's the output from ``pwd''?
[11:24] <crimsun> imbecile: shoot.
[11:24] <TC`> is there a human who could talk with me about wlan questions?
[11:24] <robtp> harrisony1: let me remove the xmodmap mapping for that first

[11:25] <neighborlee> hi there everyone..wondering why do some apps installed via synaptic, not show up in ubuntu menus ??
[11:25] <harrisony1> TC`, as we are al robots you may want to try the ubuntu forums i belive they have the odd  human
[11:25] <imbecile> crimsun, I'm running dapper live cd and my soundcard has only worked once. The reason i need it to work is i found a video to dual boot and i cant hear anything
[11:25] <harrisony1> !wlan | TC`
[11:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wlan - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:25] <crimsun> M0E^lnx: sec, let me retrieve the tarball.
[11:25] <Malachi> How can I make GTK1 look better (cinepaint, etc)
[11:26] <corin_> neighborlee: what apps?
[11:26] <voraistos> bluebyte_ it should be completly supported :)
[11:26] <Plinty> anyone here use anjuta IDE ?
[11:26] <neighborlee> is a menu standard not setup yet ?
[11:26] <Aardwolf> What is the KDE version of the login screen called?
[11:26] <neighborlee> corin, in my case 'kexi'
[11:26] <robtp> Aardwolf: kdm
[11:26] <TC`> !wlan
[11:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wlan - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:26] <pike_> TC`: what questions specifically?
[11:26] <voraistos> bluebyte_ as fglrx is the ATI version of the driver :)
[11:26] <Aardwolf> does kdm have a config file somewhere?
[11:26] <kcinna> pike_: yeah, i'll try that
[11:26] <imbecile> stefg,n2diy, thanks
[11:26] <killown> does anyone have the xbox 360?
[11:26] <neighborlee> corin, edgy btw
[11:26] <voraistos> TC` what do you wanna talk about ?
[11:26] <TC`> i installed ubuntu on laptop, it got mini pci gigabyte card..
[11:26] <Scunizi> Since Ooo can create PDF forms, when opened in Evince or Document Viewer, neither allow direct entry of data into the form. Can I fix that other than installing Adobe Acrobat?
[11:26] <robtp> Aardwolf: yes, im not sure where though i forget
[11:26] <crimsun> imbecile: kinda vague. Is ``aplay /usr/share/sounds/startup.wav'' audible from a Terminal?
[11:27] <Aardwolf> hmm I'll try to find it then...
[11:27] <harrisony1> robtp, can you like close programs with keyboard shortcuts
[11:27] <TC`> someone told that it will run with madwifi drivers, so how to configure?
[11:27] <robtp> harrisony1: such as?
[11:27] <harrisony1> eg Ctrl-Q
[11:27] <corin_> neighborlee, i suppose you could just drop one in to the menu where you want it. under system->prefrences->menu layout
[11:27] <Siv0x> crimsun: okay - i have sound now, :D thanks alot one more question.. how do i switch from gnome desktop to kde?
[11:27] <neighborlee> corin, easily done yes
[11:27] <robtp> harrisony1: right now firefox, gaim and xchat-gnome are runnin
[11:27] <voraistos> TC` what is the card's protocol ?
[11:28] <harrisony1> killown, why?
[11:28] <neighborlee> corin, I was just wondering why the system misses some things and n ot others..my guesss is  making  .deb isnt' standardized enough yet
[11:28] <crimsun> Siv0x: you can install the `kubuntu-desktop' metapackage, then sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm, and choose kdm.
 you can switch at login screen i guess
[11:28] <killown> harrisony1 I want know if game for xbox360 its good
[11:28] <linav> if you have already insalled kde
[11:28] <harrisony1> try /j #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:28] <imbecile> crimsun, no... I know it should work though because it did one time last night

[11:28] <robt> harrisony1: haha crtl-alt-del isnt task manager
[11:28] <mnoir> neighborlee: .deb is very standard.  but menus are totally distribution based
[11:28] <TC`> b/g
[11:28] <harrisony1> it can be remapped tho
[11:29] <robt> harrisony1: w just xchat, gaim and w/o beryl running they still dont work
[11:29] <crimsun> imbecile: please paste your ``amixer'' output onto the paste Web site noted in the topic.
[11:29] <M0E^lnx> crimsun: so what does that mean?... did I do something wrong during the compile process?
[11:29] <Plinty> anyone here use anjuta IDE ?
[11:29] <n2diy> fisheye: bilingual in what?
[11:29] <crimsun> M0E^lnx: did ``make'' complete successfully?
[11:29] <M0E^lnx> crimsun: yes
[11:29] <dmc_> !beryl
[11:29] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-xgl
[11:29] <crimsun> M0E^lnx: and ``make install-modules'' fails?
[11:29] <Siv0x> crimsun: okay, I've already done this - i selected kdm earlier and its still gnome.
[11:29] <harrisony1> try click on berryl-manager and then go change the window manager to metacity and try
[11:29] <crimsun> Siv0x: but did you choose kde in the session?
[11:29] <neighborlee> mnoir,as standard as ubuntu is becoming i'd think it would be a good thing to settle on some standard so issues like this dont come up.
[11:30] <voraistos> TC` so this is not a wifi card... dunno if its supposed to work with ndis wrapper
[11:30] <robt> harrisony1: im reunning metacity now
[11:30] <neighborlee> mnoir, or is it being worked on do you know
[11:30] <harrisony1> killown, #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:30] <Siv0x> Dont remember.. maybe i didnt :S whats the command to reinstall the package?
[11:30] <mnoir> neighborlee: i agree - i used to go crazy looking for newly installed stuff in the menus :)
[11:30] <robt> Siv0x: apt-get --reinstall install X
[11:30] <harrisony1> robt, close a program (Ctrl-Q) and try F6 with beryl and metacity
[11:30] <pike_> TC`: you could try sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-$(uname-r)
[11:30] <fisheye> bilingual in spoken languages, or writen for that mater
[11:30] <neighborlee> mnoir, hehehe yup
[11:30] <ubuntu> opss
[11:30] <trelayne> So silly me figured out what  perl /usr/share/setup-tool-backends/scripts/network-conf is all about.. it's used to monitor modem activity.. just turned off the bloody feature and all is fine noe
[11:30] <trelayne> now
[11:30] <neighborlee> mnoir, I was like OK where is this dain thing ;)LOL
[11:31] <sn00p> is there any web site so you can go find out which hardware is supported in linux such as media cards, sound cards, etc??
[11:31] <n2diy> fisheye: bilingual in what language?
[11:31] <mnoir> i doubt it is really being addressed - where would you like kde based apps to go if the user is a gnome centric user?
[11:31] <fisheye> i've an art project and need something translated in several languages , smal sentene
[11:31] <Aardwolf> Where does X store the default resolution?
[11:31] <voraistos> TC` however it should already be installed......
[11:31] <robt> harrisony1: they NumLock light comes on in the kbd, but nothing else happens in both metacity and emerald/beryl
[11:31] <corin_> Aardwolf, /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:31] <TC`> madwifi is installed, but i can't see the device in NETWORKING
[11:31] <fisheye> i got portuguese , german , dutch and english , anyone knows anyother?
[11:31] <ProN00b> there any ubuntu packages for google earth ?
[11:31] <TC`> madwifi comes with edgy
[11:31] <Aardwolf> corin_, in xorg.conf I see lots of resolutions, but I don't find in there which of those it actually uses as the default one, where in xorg.conf does it say that?
[11:31] <neighborlee> mnoir, I suppose they could easy enough just put them in appropriate menus
[11:32] <Plinty> Does anyone use anjuta ide for programming?
[11:32] <neighborlee> mnoir, we should not make things more difficult than they are ;l)
[11:32] <harrisony1> Plinty, why?
[11:32] <voraistos> fisheye, what you mean is that youre dutch ?
[11:32] <harrisony1> ProN00b, yes under pfl reps
[11:32] <Siv0x> crimsun: its giving me an error E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)

[11:32] <voraistos> sudo or close synaptic
[11:32] <fisheye> no, i am portuguese
[11:33] <imbecile> what does "failed to create enough space for installation" mean? I can click it a second time and i dont get the error but it just hangs there
[11:33] <Plinty> harrisony1, I can't find where to set which libraries to link with
[11:33] <eMail> hello

[11:33] <fisheye> n2diy : any languase besides those i staded would be great :)
[11:33] <voraistos> fisheye, wow, dutch is a pretty rare language to learn. congrats :)
[11:33] <eMail> do you know from where i can get skydome images
[11:33] <fisheye> i didint learn it :)
[11:33] <Aardwolf> where in xorg.conf does it say which resolution X uses as default and if not in xorg.conf, then where does it store it?
[11:33] <fisheye> i asked someone to translate :) :)
[11:33] <harrisony1> ProN00b, add this to /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repo/ edgy free non-free
[11:34] <voraistos> fisheye, i talk french :P
[11:34] <n2diy> fisheye: this is a linux forum, not a language forum.

[11:34] <sn00p> is there any web site so you can go find out which hardware is supported in linux such as media cards, sound cards, etc??
[11:34] <harrisony1> robt, i have no idea why
[11:34] <voraistos> n2diy: he seems to be looking for translators
[11:34] <harrisony1> sn00p, yes try http://doc.gwos.org
[11:34] <eMail> ok thx
[11:34] <LameBMX> eMail, it would be easier if they had searchin in the beryl forums
[11:34] <rohan> Hey All
[11:34] <corin_> Aardwolf, my guess is it stores in somewhere in the gdm (or kdm) configuration files - /etc/gdm. that's a shot in the dark though, let me look

[11:35] <rohan> question
[11:35] <harrisony1> rohan, go
[11:35] <imbecile> what does "failed to create enough space for installation" mean? I can click it a second time and i dont get the error but it just hangs there and doesnt do anything
[11:35] <Siv0x> crimsun: here is what i used to get my kde.. maybe i havent installed it right: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[11:35] <sn00p> harrisony1, dont work
[11:36] <crimsun> Siv0x: that's fine. Did you switch sessions?
[11:36] <fisheye> n2diy: yes i know. I'm an ubuntu user just asking arround :)
[11:36] <voraistos> n2diy: well, its part of linux and all that. tranlators are very important
[11:36] <rohan> i am trying to find the software gui  where i can download softwares such as the bible , Msn messenger etc
[11:36] <harrisony1> sn00p, http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Main_Page
[11:36] <fisheye> n2diy : would be stupid to ask arround chanels i dont even go to
[11:36] <Plinty> so has anyone used anjuta ide? :/
[11:36] <sp2742> PART Bye for now
[11:36] <mnoir> Aardwolf: the defaulting is a combination of linex in xorg.conf
[11:36] <n2diy> fisheye: roger that.
[11:36] <fisheye> :)
[11:36] <Aardwolf> linex?
[11:36] <harrisony1> rohan, msn- try aMsn ,bible- search in synaptic
[11:36] <Siv0x> crimsun: No i was hoping you had a konsole command for this - i'm used to debian and I couldnt figure out how to do this. its been about 2 years ago that i've used linux so i've pretty much forgot everything.
[11:36] <harrisony1> !bible
[11:36] <robt> Plinty: i cant be of much help, but does compiling and linking cli work fine?
[11:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bible - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:36] <mnoir> the dflt depth is specified and a line shows the resolutions in order
[11:36] <voraistos> fisheye, what project is it ?
[11:36] <rohan> i am using Kubuntu 6.10
[11:37] <rohan> ok
[11:37] <n2diy> fisheye: there are probably other forums where you would have a better chance of finding what ya need, don't ya think?
[11:37] <stefg> imbecile, so you decided to try it by yourself. make a backup first, you'll need aprox. 4-5 GB minimum for a dapper install.
[11:37] <rohan> yeah
[11:37] <Plinty> cli?
[11:37] <crimsun> Siv0x: you should be able to select the KDE session at the kdm greeter.
[11:37] <harrisony1> rohan, just make sure you uncomment the universe repositories
[11:37] <rohan> yes - thewre is a software for that
[11:37] <harrisony1> yep
[11:37] <n2diy> Plinty: cli, command line interface.
[11:37] <Siv0x> crimsun: just logout and select the kde session?
[11:37] <rohan> how do i uncomment
[11:37] <harrisony1> !BibleTime | rohan
[11:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about BibleTime - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[11:38] <Plinty> I'm just wondering how to make it link with the SDL libraries
[11:38] <voraistos> Plinty: make can do it as well :P

[11:38] <fisheye> voraistos : im doing a video instalation , and ai have a piece in wich i need a certain sentece in several languages
[11:38] <rohan> ok
[11:39] <harrisony1> and remove the ## from anyting with deb or deb-src
[11:39] <Plinty> yes, but I'd prefer to use an IDE for that
[11:39] <rohan> tnx
[11:39] <Siv0x> crimsun: also whats the xorg command to configure my graphics card?
[11:39] <fisheye> n2diy : yes, i probably would better of. Still, the work is done on blender :) does it count . hehehehe

[11:42] <harrisony1> yep
[11:42] <lovloss> http://parker1.co.uk/satanic/
[11:42] <stefg> dudes, can you all take this discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic? This is support, not distro-politics and not religion
[11:42] <cntb> BinLaden Distro ?
[11:43] <harrisony1> http://parker1.co.uk/satanic/
[11:43] <lovloss> yeah we should be supporting, not discussing
[11:43] <reiatzu> harrisony1: Ubuntu satanic ver?
[11:43] <TC`> my card works with ubuntu, but how to configure oslt? :|| http://madwifi.org/wiki/Compatibility#GNWI01GT

[11:43] <cntb> pls help distribute edgy. join torrent download http://pangea001.upc.es/ubuntu-dvd-torrents/
[11:43] <harrisony1> cntb, there are already torrents :S
[11:44] <harrisony1> reiatzu, the point of what
[11:44] <Shaezsche> in general, is battery life for laptops better with kde or gnome?
[11:44] <reiatzu> cntb: I help distribute Ubuntu * around Nigeria ;)
[11:44] <Arrick_Idle> How do I get a KVM switch to work with ubuntu?
[11:44] <lovloss> As a quick side note though, i will be downloading this. lol. Now then....
[11:44] <harrisony1> Shaezsche, gnome
[11:44] <reiatzu> harrisony1: a satanic version/christian version
[11:44] <lovloss> Shaezsche: I think gnome.
[11:44] <Arrick_Idle> stupid mouse and kayboard die when I switch to that PC
[11:44] <harrisony1> reiatzu, i  have no idea
[11:44] <Shaezsche> why gnome?
[11:44] <lovloss> Shaezsche: KDE is  a bit heavy-duty
[11:44] <Shaezsche> yea but doesnt it scale down better
[11:44] <lovloss> Shaezsche: Although the file manager is a whopper
[11:44] <cntb> torrents are faster with more participants
[11:44] <THEoracle> <------prefers E17
[11:45] <lynucs> which progs are you using for wake on lan???
[11:45] <lovloss> Shaezsche: yOU could use that "x" thing... whats it called....
[11:45] <Shaezsche> howis e17 for battery life
[11:45] <lovloss> xcfe or something?
[11:45] <ski-worklap> anyone had any experience, positive or negative, with emperor linux or system76?
[11:45] <Shaezsche> yea, i dont like xcfe, takes too long to load gnome progs
[11:45] <lynucs> Shaezsche: just great, if no animatoed backgrounds
[11:45] <kane77> is there a repository for sunbird??
[11:45] <AndrewG> evolution has just crapped itself on me - whenever I open it up now it crashes for some reason
[11:46] <Shaezsche> can yo uuse e17 with ubuntu?
[11:46] <ski-worklap> AndrewG, rm -rf .evolution ?
[11:46] <crimsun> Shaezsche: sure.
[11:46] <lynucs> Shaezsche: what do you think i'm doing right now
[11:46] <THEoracle> very good for battery life actually
[11:46] <ski-worklap> or perhaps mv .evolution .evolution.bak
[11:46] <apache_newbie> I'm trying to configure apache 2.0 with mod_proxy, but don't seem to be able to get mod_proxy_html to load. I'm getting "Invalid command ProxyHTMLURLMap", but AFAICT have installed mod_proxy_html and setup mod-available and mod-enabled. Can anyone help diagnose?
[11:46] <THEoracle> its very lightweight
[11:46] <AndrewG> got over 1000 emails with a lot business related
[11:46] <voraistos> AndrewG: yeah just wipe out the evolution directory
[11:46] <Shaezsche> link? is it hard to install?
[11:46] <AndrewG> rm -rf .evolution probably isn't the best option
[11:46] <mnoir> apache_newbie: should try #apache
[11:46] <lynucs> Shaezsche: you can use repository
[11:46] <apache_newbie> have tried their
[11:46] <apache_newbie> there
[11:47] <THEoracle> no.....not really.....there's a good howto in the Ubuntu forums
[11:47] <apache_newbie> they aren't ubuntu savvy
[11:47] <lynucs> Shaezsche: or compile yourself from cvs
[11:47] <exs> ok cool, I've finally removed the old vmware and I've got the normal tar.gz file to install. It's asking me the first insillation question. That question being ".In which directory do you want to install the binary files? [/usr/bin]  " What should I type ?.. Should I type (quite simply) "/home/engle/Desktop/vmware_server" ? Thanks
[11:47] <ski-worklap> AndrewG, move it out of the way, see if evolution starts ok wthout any of your specific data, then move stuff back in onepiece at a time
[11:47] <ski-worklap> exs, you probably donot want that on your desktop, no.
[11:47] <AndrewG> just done that now - went to send/receive and it's doing the old accounts
[11:47] <lynucs> Shaezsche: compiling yourself is better, because of more modules and other things
[11:47] <AndrewG> seems to be working..
[11:47] <voraistos> Hey anyone knws a great lvmhowto ? i am looking to nstall 2 lvm discs on a server...
[11:47] <CheshireViking> rohan: I'm coming to your query about bible late, but I got a package through synaptic called gnomesword which I think uses the bibletime library's etc, although I did have a problem with one of the dependencies which I had to track down manually
[11:47] <harrisony1> exs, just go default to all
[11:47] <ski-worklap>  /usr/bin is a good choice. /usr/local/bin is better
[11:47] <exs> ski-worklap:  where should I put it? and do I need to create a directory?
[11:48] <exs> harrisony1:  there isn't default :(
[11:48] <freddy_> hello.. can anyone tell mw how to install easycam2? i can't see find it on aptitude! and i can't find it on google!! please need some help
[11:48] <lynucs> Shaezsche: join #e
[11:48] <ski-worklap> exs - /usr/local/bin is best. no need to create a directory
[11:48] <exs> ski-worklap:  ok cool, thanks a lot
[11:48] <ski-worklap> exs, your bill is in the mail
[11:48] <lovloss> How come I cant resize a partition on my girlfriend's HP computer? I want to make space so she can dual boot into linux. Cant give her to completely leave winblows
[11:48] <exs> ski-worklap:  lol
[11:48] <reiatzu> hi babwe
[11:48] <lovloss> Are they allowed to make it unshrinkable?
[11:48] <harrisony1> exs, just keep pressing enter
[11:48] <exs> ski-worklap:  "What is the directory that contains the init directories (rc0.d/ to rc6.d/)? " That's the next question.. Damn, this is getting tougher!
[11:48] <Shaezsche> is reiserfs or ext3 better for battery life, or does it matter?
[11:49] <ski-worklap> exs, /etc
[11:49] <reiatzu> Shaezsche: I haven't found the file sys relevant ;) I prefer ext3 though
[11:49] <ski-worklap> Shaeerzsche, it doesn't much matt
[11:49] <gaten> lovloss:  are u using the installers partition editor? what error does it give you
[11:49] <ski-worklap> matter
[11:49] <exs> ski-worklap: "What is the directory that contains the init scripts?  "
[11:49] <Aardwolf> I fixed the default resolution issue by placing "1280x1024" first in the list of modes
[11:49] <AndrewG> evolution seems to be OK now, thanks for your help
[11:49] <voraistos> reiserfs is pretty good, but i would stick to the more supported ext3
[11:49] <ski-worklap> exs, /etc
[11:50] <reiatzu> Shaezsche: use reiserfs for smaller partitions
[11:50] <voraistos> !lvm
[11:50] <ubotu> Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[11:50] <mnoir> exs: /etc/init.d
[11:50] <reiatzu> Things like /boot perhaps
[11:50] <imbecile> what do you guys think a noob should use dapper drake or edgy? I am tryin to create dual boot and im not having any luck
[11:50] <lovloss> gaten: Yeah. It just says that it cant scan the disk. "Toitally 3 sectors!" it says. But its out of the box and we already defragged
[11:50] <stefg> lovloss: if the windows partition is somehow damaged already the partitioning programm will not resize it
[11:50] <exs> mnoir:  oops, I went with /etc as ski-worklap said :(
[11:50] <lynucs> imbecile: dapper
[11:50] <reiatzu> imbecile: It would be preferrable to use Edgy as its the most recent
[11:50] <gaten> lovloss:  what kind of disk is it. SATA or IDE? can the installer see the disk at all?
[11:50] <lovloss> stefg: wouldnt defrag fix it?
[11:50] <reiatzu> To dual boot, you'd be better off installing Windows (assuming thats what you're dual booting with) first.
[11:50] <imbecile> hehe thats always the way it goes ;P
[11:51] <lynucs> imbecile: dapper because there are more wikis and repos for dapper atm
[11:51] <lovloss> gaten: the installer sees it fine.
[11:51] <stefg> lovloss: no that makes it worse... chkdsk is the one to run in win
[11:51] <mnoir> exs: but you verified so no harm right?
[11:51] <lovloss> I dunno if its SATA or IDE
[11:51] <reiatzu> That way grub would automatically load your windows partition upon boot
[11:51] <cntb> http://pangea001.upc.es/ubuntu-dvd-torrents/
[11:51] <imbecile> stefg, you think that might be my problem as well?
[11:51] <Roconda> how can I check if my vga driver is working? (i use nvidia)
[11:51] <ski-worklap> edgy doesn't have LTS iirc, but dapper does
[11:51] <ski-worklap> so for a server i might use dapper
[11:51] <lovloss> stefg Ohhh ok... god i hate windows. how do you chkdsk? Just type it into its terminal? it has a terminal right
[11:51] <exs> mnoir:  what do you mean verified?
[11:51] <gaten> lovloss:  alright, well that doesnt matter anyway. run chkdsk and see if that helps
[11:52] <mnoir> i mean you didn't believe anything that anybody says here without verifying it.
[11:52] <gaten> lovloss:  its called a command prompt. goto start then run then type in 'cmd'
[11:52] <cntb> why edgy doesnt have LTSP ?who said >?
[11:52] <stefg> imbecile: that's hard to tell... i'd need either proper information or hands-on access.
[11:52] <lovloss> ok
[11:52] <^PRiNCeSiKa_29^> somebody know speak spanish?

[11:54] <ski-worklap> the EDITOR trick mnoir suggests won't work unless you are opening from the command line
[11:54] <stefg> imbecile: do you know your way around in win?
[11:54] <imbecile> stefg, yeah
[11:54] <mnoir> exs: np
[11:55] <Aoirthoir> ah no not the file editor...sorry yall I like nautilus.. I mean if I edit say a PHP or Txt file etc
[11:55] <Arrick_Idle> I am logged into the failsafe terminal, and I would like to open an additional terminal (ubuntu breezy) How would I do this?
[11:55] <stefg> imbecile: so whaz's your disk, what's your partitions?
[11:55] <tritonx> What would you choose between  Processeur INTEL Pentium D 940 3.2 Ghz Dual Core - FSB 800 Mhz LGA775 - 4 Mo and  Processeur INTEL Core2 Duo E6300 - 1.86 GHz FSB 1066 Mhz LGA775 - 2 Mo ?
[11:55] <ski-worklap> Aoirthoir, then set EDITOR as mnoir suggests
[11:55] <Aoirthoir> ski that works only once..I have to redo that ver and over
[11:55] <ski-worklap> tritonx, c2d
[11:55] <Roconda> how can I check if my vga driver is working? (i use nvidia)?? because I don't see a nvidia splash anymore on the startup
[11:55] <ski-worklap> Aoirthoir, add it to your .profile or .bashrc
[11:55] <imbecile> i cant partition my C:\ with gparted
[11:55] <Aoirthoir> trying to read up
[11:55] <tritonx> ski, c2d ?
[11:55] <ski-worklap> export EDITOR=/path/to/whatever
[11:55] <exs> Does anyone know the equlivant to daemon tools for ubuntu?.. I need to mount an ISO image. Cheers
[11:55] <tritonx> core duo ?
[11:55] <imbecile> stefg, i cant partition my C:\ with gparted
[11:56] <ski-worklap> tritonx, core 2 duo, yes
[11:56] <tritonx> k, thanks
[11:56] <cntb> imbecile:  you cant?
[11:56] <ski-worklap> it's slower but you don't want a pentium 4 based machine
[11:56] <lovloss> is there a gparted kind of program for an installed ubuntu? i hate qparted, it cant resize and such.
[11:56] <MarcN> exs: : mount -o loop foo.iso /mnt
[11:56] <relbs> is there an apt command to search for which (possibly not installed) packages provide a specific file?
[11:56] <ski-worklap> slower in hz i mean
[11:56] <Aoirthoir> ah ok..so i put that command in .bashrc...thanks going to give it a try
[11:56] <exs> MarcN:  ok cool thanks I'll try that
[11:56] <tritonx> I wasnt sure
[11:56] <MarcN> exs: sudo ...
[11:56] <exs> MarcN:  ok
[11:56] <imbecile> cntb, nope it just hangs there.. busy icon never stops
[11:56] <freddy_> can anyone check if theres a problem with the easycam source? or is it just me? deb http://blognux.free.fr/debian unstable main
[11:57] <tritonx> ski: even with 4mo of cache instead of 2mo?
[11:57] <cntb> imbecile:  dont lose patience
[11:57] <imbecile> stefg, how about i create the partition with partition magic?
[11:57] <Aoirthoir> brb
[11:57] <stefg> imbecile: i'd make a full backup first, preferably with a backup program that can restore to a different size partition.
[11:58] <imbecile> i just reinstalled win last night so i dont have to worry
[11:58] <Arrick_Idle> Anyone have any knowledge?
[11:58] <gaten> Arrick_Idle:  you could use screen
[11:58] <Aoirthoir> going to reboot and test
[11:58] <Arrick_Idle> gaten, ok, how do I go about doing this?
[11:58] <imbecile> cntb, hehe im not... been trying to install this dang thing for almost 7 hours
[11:59] <stefg> imbecile: if you run win XP just shrink the partition with pmagic to have around 10 G of unpartitioned space on the drive. then  run teh installer again, it will take the space and put it to an actual use
[11:59] <cntb> nobody has any worth to use knowledge here Arrick_Idle
[11:59] <gaten> Arrick_Idle:  type in screen. then use ^a c to make a new "window" and ^a 0-9 to switch between windows. ^ means control key
[12:00] <imbecile> stefg.. i think im gonna try that
[12:00] <cntb> I would give ubuntu 20gb
