[07:03] <albech> how come opera isnt present in the software manager?
[07:04] <alraune> albech:repos unchecked ?
[07:04] <wbmj> albech: Opera is in the Cannonical Partners repo
[07:04] <spoo1> legend2440, I think someone named kaiwen help me last time and gave me a few lines to add into xorg.conf ...... the best offered is 800x600 the default I believe
[07:05] <alraune> albech:sometimes its not the newest version for compatibilty, but is in repos
[07:05] <legend2440> spoo1: so what happened? it changed when you rebooted?
[07:05] <alraune> albech:need help with sources.list ?
[07:05] <spoo1> legend2440, kaiwen's suggestion worked perfectly then after a few restarts the file reset it seems
[07:06] <spoo1> legend2440, yes, but it didn't happen after the first or even the second reboot.... I think it was the third
[07:06] <albech> there is a checkmark in http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu hardy partner
[07:06] <legend2440> spoo1: did you ever try       gksudo displayconfig-gtk  ?
[07:07] <wbmj> albech : Did you reload
[07:07] <spoo1> I had mad a change to the menu.list and had to reboot then it went back to 800x600.... yes every time I start up it comes up in the (low resolution mode I think its called)

[07:20] <wbmj> CoolTrainer_Doug: no need to be sorry....we all started as newbies
[07:21] <kEeBoD> this is the glxinfo --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/28621/
[07:21] <CoolTrainer_Doug> wbjm: ok its Aironet Cisco Wireless card 802.11b
[07:21] <[RO]zbog> I've issued this command " sudo chown -R kde-devel:kde-devel /home/kde-devel/.* ";
[07:21] <[RO]zbog> could you explain why this command affects the parent directories?
[07:21] <wbmj> CoolTrainer_Doug: okay...hang on
[07:22] <[RO]zbog> is it that ~/.* also matches ~/.. ?
[07:22] <Mycah_> why would I be denied access to putting things in my gimp brushes folder, in the first place?
[07:22] <kEeBoD> direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)  :(
[07:22] <Starnestommy> [RO]zbog: .* includes . (the directory itself) and .. (a link to the parent directory)
[07:22] <Agent_bob> crap.   anyone can shed light on this http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d12baf031 ?
[07:22] <[RO]zbog> so, it would have changed the owner of / too
[07:23] <[RO]zbog> right?
[07:23] <administrator__> amenado?
[07:23] <Starnestommy> [RO]zbog: I think it might
[07:23] <Agent_bob> [RO]zbog yes  /.* matches /..
[07:23] <administrator__> can someone help with Grub issues?
[07:23] <Agent_bob> [RO]zbog what you want is  sudo chwon $USER -R ~

[07:25] <Mycah_> Im trying to add new brushes to GIMP, and im being denied access to do it through the filesystem
[07:25] <Agent_bob> [RO]zbog no.  it doesn't match ../../   only the first ../   so anything in /home   nothing outside of it should be affected
[07:26] <alraune> Mycah_:now u can unpack almost any file with : unp <dateiname>, put sudo in front for superuser...

[07:39] <CoolTrainer_Doug> wbmj: When I open network I see "wired connection" and "point to point connection"
[07:39] <wbmj> smallfry: Agent_Bob's advice should help alt-f2 then type gnome-panel
[07:39] <Kernel> Agent_bob: ah ok awesome.
[07:40] <Kernel> starscalling: http://pastebin.com/m4ed82171
[07:40] <Kernel> its basicly just a 1 or 2 liner in a script so i cant start ktorrent with it
[07:40] <Kernel> its been a while since i used ubuntu...but doesn it not use true bash?
[07:40] <Kernel> and could this be the issue?
[07:40] <snadge> how do i increase the amount of space available to a wubi installed ubuntu hardy?
[07:41] <RedLXXXIV> I'm curious, and a bit lazy to keep googling this... I was wondering if there was a simple way to replace the ubuntu usplash image, and change the progress bar from orange to grey or white
[07:41] <smallfry_> wbmj: what should alt-f2 do cause nothing happens when i press alt f2
[07:41] <slava1> привет

[07:41] <starscalling> Kernel, did you check the ktorrentrc file to see if its actually changeing it?
[07:41] <mechdave> administrator__, ok have you tried booting it since I made those changes?
[07:41] <jazzwhiz> smallfry_, hold alt, then press f2
[07:41] <IdleOne> !usplash | RedLXXXIV
[07:42] <starscalling> also try having it echo the values that its getting when it does stuff

[07:43] <starscalling> !ask juancarlos
[07:43] <starscalling> !ask | juancarlos
[07:43] <Kernel> shah: killall artsd then rerun mplayer
[07:44] <alraune> Kernel: i don't have ktorrent installed now, but I think I remember its having an option for random port selection itself...
[07:44] <wbmj> smallfry: do you have terminal access?
[07:44] <shah> Kernel: Same again
[07:44] <smallfry_> wbmj: yes i do
[07:44] <Kernel> alraune: maby if ubuntu is using a newer version ......but last i checked it did not have one.....which surprised me
[07:44] <wbmj> smallfry: type gnome-panel
[07:44] <RedLXXXIV> Guess that's the only way, huh. Can't just crack open the original usplash and hack away there, can I?
[07:45] <alraune> Kernel: installing..
[07:45] <juancarlos> alright, basically i want to tar all files of certain type that are in certain folder (and also all those in its subfolders). i collected the files using find, but i am not sure how to tar them... how could I pass all the filenames to tar?
[07:45] <smallfry_> wbmj: it has to install the package gnome-panel
[07:45] <shah> Kernel : i hav even tried this mplayer -ao alsa file.mp3....   but same is the case
[07:45] <Kernel> i dont seem one alraune and setting the port to 0....it auto switches to one
[07:46] <Kernel> shah: im not really sure..but i know when things normally complain of sound card in use..its artsd
[07:46] <wbmj> smallfry: no the command gnome-panel should restart the panels
[07:47] <smallfry_> wbmj: it said smallfry@smallfry101:~$ gnome-panel
[07:47] <smallfry_> The program 'gnome-panel' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
[07:47] <smallfry_> sudo apt-get install gnome-panel
[07:47] <smallfry_> bash: gnome-panel: command not found
[07:47] <shah> Kernel: i can hear sound using Totem movie player

[07:48] <Kernel> juancarlos: cat file | tar
[07:48] <choudesh> juancarlos, cat file | tar
[07:48] <juancarlos> ok thanks
[07:48] <choudesh> Kernel, I am getting slow. ;-)
[07:48] <wbmj> smallfry: are you running gnome or kde
[07:48] <juancarlos> i was unsure, since cat will give each file name on a different line
[07:48] <Kernel> choudesh: haha ;-o
[07:49] <DarkElf10> User klog isn't able to run klogd, which is stopping the klogd initscript from working. What settings should /sbin/klogd have? Specifically, how should it be chmodded?
[07:49] <alraune> Kernel: right , non in the standard version..
[07:50] <Kernel> alraune: yea i was pretty sure. but thanks for double checking :-)
[07:50] <smallfry_> wbmj: im running ubuntu, im not really sure, but i installed the application  and typed gnome-panel and it restarted. thanks
[07:50] <Kernel> alraune: that bash script i had used to work great...but not on ubuntu
[07:50] <wbmj> smallfry: you're welcome I guess
[07:51] <shah> Kernel: once see this: http://pastebin.com/m7b0336bf
[07:51] <alraune> Kernel: did you try any debugging ? simple put some lines of "strange" code to bash /dash ?
[07:52] <Agent_bob> Kernel try this   http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d4bbc8822
[07:52] <Kernel> alraune: its basicly just a 2 line script....not error when running it
[07:52] <wbmj> smallfry: not sure what else your little brother deleted. but you might want to run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop to be safe
[07:52] <alraune> Kernel: ..but ktorrent not starting, see bob..
[07:53] <Agent_bob> Kernel i added a test for blank or missing config  which could have been failing   also changed the way it generates the random port
[07:53] <Kernel> ah ok awesome Agent_bob thanks!. let me try running it
[07:53] <skurakai> hi. What IM client you prefer?
[07:54] <skurakai> or what client for jabber is best?
[07:54] <wols> !best
[07:54] <shah> anyone see this im getting error while playing mplayer:   http://pastebin.com/m7b0336bf
[07:54] <CoolTrainer_Doug> ok, is there a way to see exactly what wireless card i have?  like, which model?
[07:54] <administrator__> mechdave, no i havent sorry
[07:55] <smallfry_> wbmj: it was not my little brother it was my older brother, he is so stupid when it comes to linux
[07:55] <administrator__> mechdave, im sure itll work and if it doesnt ive got nothing but time :P
[07:55] <wols> CoolTrainer_Doug: only the chip matters. the card is irrelevant
[07:55] <ragsagar> shah: alsamixer
[07:55] <wbmj> smallfry: oh
[07:55] <wols> CoolTrainer_Doug: lspci
[07:55] <CoolTrainer_Doug> i did that and all it says is Aironet Cisco Wireless
[07:55] <Kernel> hmm Agent_bob its not generating new ports. its setting it the default bittorrent port and port 4444
[07:55] <CoolTrainer_Doug> but there are a bunch of those so i can't find the specific drivers
[07:55] <wols> CoolTrainer_Doug: pastebin the result
[07:56] <alraune> shah: alsa installed ?
[07:56] <wols> CoolTrainer_Doug: lspci -nn
[07:56] <shah> shah@shah-desktop:~$ alsamixer
[07:56] <shah> alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: No such file or directory
[07:57] <Kernel> Agent_bob: seems its not editing the config file
[07:57] <Kernel> leaving the varible blank "udpTrackerPort="
[07:57] <wbmj> smallfry: FYI sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop will make sure you have all the original ubuntu defaults
[07:57] <asmo[B]> my firefox keeps crashing, how do I see what causes the error?
[07:58] <Agent_bob> Kernel not using kde4 are you ?
[07:58] <asmo[B]> or what the error is...
[07:58] <CoolTrainer_Doug> wols: http://paste.ubuntu.com/28636/
[07:58] <wols> asmo[B]: start it from a xterm
[07:58] <Kernel> Agent_bob: i dont think so
[07:58] <smallfry_> wbmj: which means all my prefrences will be reseted?
[07:58] <ragsagar> asmo[B]: check log
[07:58] <Kernel> i have 8.04 installed
[07:58] <ragsagar> asmo[B]: tail -f /var/log/messages
[07:59] <shah> ragsagar, alraune, Kernel, wols, shah@shah-desktop:~$ alsamixer
[07:59] <shah>  alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: No such file or directory
[07:59] <wbmj> smallfry:no it won't change your config files
[07:59] <Agent_bob> kernel let me try one more stab   if not uncomment the #set -x  and try it again.  http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d3c373c90
[07:59] <wols> CoolTrainer_Doug: "airo" driver most likely
[07:59] <SD_> ?
[07:59] <Kernel> ok. i appreciate it Agent_bob :-)
[07:59] <smallfry_> wbmj: it reistalled all my games i purposelly got rid off lol
[07:59] <CoolTrainer_Doug> wols: so do i just download that from cisco then?
[07:59] <alraune> shah: see dialoge
[08:00] <shah> yeah got it
[08:00] <Agent_bob> Kernel sorry wrong paste  http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d2da64d56
[08:00] <Kernel> ah
[08:00] <smallfry_> wbmj: do you know how to get my 5.1 surround speakers to work properlly?
[08:01] <asmo[B]> ragsagar: http://paste.ubuntu.com/28637/
[08:01] <wols> CoolTrainer_Doug: ubuntu should already come with the driver
[08:01] <JFCake> Hello
[08:01] <CoolTrainer_Doug> well how do I set up my wireless?  i'm having so much trouble with this arg
[08:01] <JFCake> I'm having problems with my Intel Wireless Pro card
[08:02] <JFCake> It's basically...not working =/
[08:02] <wbmj> smallfry: should be able to set 5.1 from the sound settings window
[08:02] <ragsagar> asmo[B]:
[08:03] <ragsagar> asmo[B]: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-help/91648-nvidia-api-mismatch-feisty.html
[08:03] <Agent_bob> ok i need to see if anyone can tell me how to get/use madwifi   someone said it's in the restricted modules    but that doesn't help me unless they have just now made a linux-restricted-686 package   ???
[08:03] <Agent_bob> kernel what's the verdict ?
[08:03] <wbmj> CoolTrainer_Doug: may want to search the forums ...looks like the card has issues with Hardy
[08:03] <JFCake> sudo iwlist wlan0 scan <--- when I do that I get "Failed to read scan data : Resource temporarily unavailable"
[08:03] <Kernel> its not changing the config file
[08:04] <CoolTrainer_Doug> :/
[08:04] <Kernel> the variables in the config file are blank
[08:04] <Agent_bob> Kernel un comment the set -x and run it
[08:04] <Kernel> same
[08:04] <smallfry_> wbmj: for some reason the pc wont detect and find the drivers for my card.
[08:04] <Agent_bob> Kernel yes but pastebin the output of the run with   set -x    so i can see why
[08:04] <Kernel> ah ok
[08:05] <wbmj> smallfry: you have no sound?
[08:05] <Kernel> Agent_bob: http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=m55201455
[08:05] <]Spectre[> hi to all,I have updated ubuntu to the lastest kernel and the wireless isn't working anymore on my asus x51r laptop with an atheros wireless onboard.Any ideas ? thanks
[08:05] <smallfry_> i have sound just not 5.1 surround sound
[08:05] <smallfry_> wbmj: i have sound just not 5.1 surround sound
[08:06] <wols> !doesn't work | ]Spectre[
[08:06] <arooni-mobile> i was running fsck on startup (ubuntu hardy) and it failed saying i need to run fsck manually............ what do i do now?
[08:06] <wbmj> smallfry: There are several choices in the sound config window....may want to try one other than auto
[08:07] <]Spectre[> thanks wols
[08:07] <wbmj> JSpectrel: which kernel
[08:07] <DistroJockey> smallfry_, or install  pavucontrol and try that
[08:07] <asmo[B]> ragsagar: I did not just upgrade, does that matter?
[08:07] <]Spectre[> 2.6.24-19
[08:07] <wbmj> Thanks DistroJockey
[08:08] <alraune> arooni-mobile: best way from live cd..
[08:08] <DistroJockey> wbmj, no problem
[08:08] <arooni-mobile> alraune, ok what to do once i do that?
[08:08] <]Spectre[> ubottu,you need some valium
[08:08] <wbmj> JSpectrel: did kernel-restricted update also
[08:08] <alraune> arooni-mobile: fs ENCRYPTED ?
[08:09] <arooni-mobile> alraune, no sir
[08:10] <]Spectre[> in the restricted drivers list I see that the atheros wireless driver is installed but isn't running
[08:10] <smallfry_> Distrojockey: do i have to do anything else or just install it?
[08:10] <]Spectre[> (it's not in use)
[08:10] <DistroJockey> smallfry_, install and run
[08:10] <alraune> arooni-mobile: run cd, go to terminal as root type : e2fsck  /devv/yourhardDrive..
[08:10] <smallfry_> Distrojockey: how do i run it, i already installed it using sudo .....
[08:11] <DistroJockey> smallfry_, just type:  pavucontrol
[08:11] <wbmj> JSpectrel: did you reboot after update?
[08:11] <vit0r> Channel 50CENT plis :) Channel 50CENT plis :) Channel 50CENT plis :)
[08:11] <vit0r> :(
[08:11] <vit0r> Rodrigu hihihi
[08:11] <]Spectre[> yes wbmj
[08:11] <arooni-mobile> ais it OK to interrupt a fsck to boot to live cd instead of waiting for it to finish?
[08:11] <arooni-mobile> is it OK?
[08:12] <Starnestommy> arooni-mobile: I think it might cause problems
[08:12] <smallfry_> Distrojockey: it only shows me front left and front right, what do i do>
[08:12] <]Spectre[> wbmj,I need to run the 2.6.24-16 kernel if I want to use the wireless for now
[08:12] <smallfry_> ?
[08:13] <alexurc> HI! I have 35gigs of unallocated space i want to add to my main existing partition, how do I do that? I tried using GParted LIveCD but i dont see an option for extending or merging the two partitions?
[08:13] <wbmj> JSpectrel: yes
[08:13] <alraune> arooni-mobile: fsck running now ? from boot ? let it finish
[08:13] <DistroJockey> smallfry_, I guess that means it needs a better driver or a config change. Sorry, can't help as I don't have a 5.1 handy
[08:13] <arooni-mobile> alraune, yes sir
[08:13] <Agent_bob> Kernel you still with me ?
[08:13] <wbmj> JSpectrel: what happens if you modprobe the driver in terminal
[08:14] <Agent_bob> Kernel ?
[08:14] <smallfry_> anyone know how to install 5.1 surround drivers?
[08:14] <]Spectre[> wbmj,I don't know the driver name for check it with modprobe
[08:14] <Kernel> Agent_bob: yea
[08:14] <DistroJockey> smallfry_, mentioning the hardware make/model would help also
[08:14] <Agent_bob> Kernel almost a total rewrite,  but it should be portable http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d46701861
[08:15] <Kernel> ah ok
[08:15] <Kernel> let me give it a whirl
[08:15] <Agent_bob> it's in debug mode   you'll have to comment out the set -x   to quiet it down.
[08:15] <wbmj> JSpectrel: modprobe madwifi
[08:15] <smallfry_> Distrojockey: how do i find that stuff out, i know its a soundblaster 7.1 card with creative 5.1 surroun speakers
[08:16] <Kernel> Agent_bob: killer. works great!
[08:16] <Agent_bob> Kernel it "does" work here.   and should work there.
[08:16] <Agent_bob> kewl
[08:16] <Agent_bob> :)
[08:16] <Kernel> Agent_bob: thanks alot for the help!
[08:16] <Agent_bob> np
[08:16] <Kernel> :-)
[08:16] <DistroJockey> smallfry_, that helps a bit.  lspci  may give more details
[08:16] <DTOPSB> hello
[08:16] <bobertdos> So, in the wiki entry for installing the binary ATI driver, which version of what package does <version> refer to?
[08:16] <wbmj> Can someone help JSpectrel....I need to go to work
[08:17] <]Spectre[> wbmj,don't worry
[08:17] <snadge> if anyone wants to know.. to resize/transfer wubi installations to live partitions.. theres a program called lvpm
[08:17] <simplemotives> I recently swapped my laptops wireless with intel 4965agn mini pci-e card.  it works fine in windows, yet doesnt even show up from lspci.
[08:17] <Agent_bob> Kernel somehow the $((.*))    was holding us up    not sure how though
[08:17] <DTOPSB> Can someone help me?
[08:17] <]Spectre[> bye to all
[08:17] <snadge> this information is actually in the wubi guide, but im currently resizing my ubuntu wubi install from 5gb to 8gb from within ubuntu.. very cool :)
[08:17] <DTOPSB> What is the package called to show like pc tempretaure on ur desktop and make it 3dish
[08:18] <Kernel> Agent_bob: ah. im still very noobish with coding/programing.....hopefully ill learn how soon take some classes and stuff
[08:18] <Agent_bob> !ask > DTOPSB
[08:18] <smallfry_>  Creative Labs SB Audigy LS<---- anyone know how to install drivers for that
[08:18] <simplemotives> if my wireless pci-e card doesnt show up from lspci, where do i go from here to get it recognized ?
[08:19] <Agent_bob> Kernel ffr  there is a #bash channel here on freenode that you can learn a lot from.
[08:19] <arooni-mobile> why does my file system get errors in it?  it gets so bad that i have to boot to live cd to fix
[08:19] <monkey_>  i have read this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MetaTracker about integrating metatracker into nautilus but the instrutions stop at 7.04 and i am using 8.04.  does anyone know how to integrate them?
[08:19] <arooni-mobile> why does my file system get errors in it?  it gets so bad that i have to boot to live cd to fix... its a brand new seagate 300gb hard drive too :(....
[08:19] <Agent_bob> arooni-mobile what fs ?
[08:19] <crowbar> I was interupted a svn checkout from a url, can I resume it?
[08:20] <arooni-mobile> Agent_bob, exte3
[08:20] <alraune> arooni-mobile: maybe shut down by power off ?
[08:20] <arooni-mobile> alraune, maybe :(
[08:20] <Kernel> Agent_bob: yea....that is actually where i had help with the original script....the guys in there are normally very helpfull(at least in my experiences) .i just asked about the script in there to see if it was ubuntu related
[08:21] <Agent_bob> arooni-mobile ext3 is journalizing  you can have it replay the journal at boot time...
[08:21] <arooni-mobile> alraune, i have had to do that recently cuz it was freezing
[08:21] <Agent_bob> Kernel imo it's not.  but i'm no expert
[08:22] <alraune> arooni-mobile:e2fsck from cd then, Im away for a moment..
[08:22] <simplemotives> Agent_bob, if my wireless card doesnt show up in lspci, what would you assume the issue might be?
[08:22] <Agent_bob> Kernel i do write a few scripts  but i also disagree with several of the things that they in #bash will insist on...   like breaking posix for the sake of saving a few keystrokes...
[08:23] <Agent_bob> simplemotives i have no clue about wifi.    check the wiki
[08:23] <Agent_bob> !wifi > simplemotives
[08:24] <arooni-mobile> alraune, ok;  booting to live cd now
[08:24] <simplemotives> its not really a wifi issue
[08:24] <Kernel> simplemotives: sounds dumb...but make sure its firmly in the slow(might wanna turn off the computer 1st)
[08:24] <Kernel> *slot
[08:24] <simplemotives> Kernel, thanks.  It works in windows =/
[08:25] <Kernel> ah
[08:25] <simplemotives> that would have been my first guess too though
[08:25] <Kernel> what kind of card?...or better yet whats the chipset?
[08:25] <Agent_bob> simplemotives does "sudo lshw "   see it ?
[08:25] <simplemotives> its intel 4965agn card
[08:25] <Kernel> and how are you trying to use the card?...ndiswrapper?....is it nativly supported
[08:26] <simplemotives> iwl4965 driver
[08:26] <Agent_bob> !wifi > kernel
[08:26] <Agent_bob> :)
[08:26] <s3a> why does having compiz enabled make me not able to click things after a wile in epiphany AND firefox??
[08:26] <Mork> have any of you experienced the behavior where quotes (single and double) and ^ trigger some sort of composition mode?  This just started happening to me - don´t know what I did to cause it or how to disable it (yet).  I´m asking here while doing web searches (no luck yet).
[08:26] <Kernel> im only relaly familier with atheros based chips
[08:26] <ivan_> hello, i cant manage to access my windows files, i do mount it but the folders are empty although ive got windows working right, what should i do??
[08:26] <Kernel> or my old old card i had to use with ndiswrapper
[08:26] <Agent_bob> atheros   require madwifi   for the most part.
[08:27] <Kernel> yea
[08:27] <Kernel> there one of the best supported wireless cards in linux ive heard
[08:27] <simplemotives> ya.  i replace an rtl87xx realtek card with intel card, but just as annoying currently
[08:27] <Flannel> Mork: you should double check your keyboard layout.  What that sounds like is you have a "deadkeys" layout selected, which allows you to make accented chraacters
[08:27] <arooni-mobile> i'm trying to boot off the live cd.................  but it managed to load half way then freeze on progress bar............ for 40 seconds
[08:27] <arooni-mobile> wy?
[08:27] <Agent_bob>          madwifi which i need but don't want to compile if i can help it.
[08:28] <Kernel> Agent_bob: really?.
[08:28] <Kernel> i use vmware...and for it to work with my wireless card i have to patch the madwifi source and manually compile
[08:28] <Agent_bob> Kernel yeah  running dapper lts   and also have ati which requires i686 kernel
[08:28] <Kernel> cuz it doesnt follow some standarzation that vmware checks for
[08:29] <havocstorm> sup guys
[08:29] <tomoyuki28jp> When I kill the processes of gnome-panel, the process of nm-applet is also killed. Why this happen??
[08:29] <havocstorm> Know anything that works like OneNote in ubuntu?
[08:29] <Kernel> hmm i was pretty easy for me....unpackm,patch,make,make install
[08:29] <Kernel> *it
[08:29] <simplemotives> Agent_bob, sudp lshw doesnt see it either
[08:29] <simplemotives> sudo*
[08:29] <Agent_bob> Kernel but i'm on dialup and don't want to dl the kernel source if i can help it.
[08:30] <Kernel> any blinky ligfhts simplemotives
[08:30] <Kernel> Agent_bob: gotcha
[08:30] <Kernel> Agent_bob: and dial up still exists ;-)
[08:30] <Kernel> forgot the ? lol
[08:30] <Agent_bob> simplemotives then   i still sujest the wiki page that the bot told you about
[08:31] <simplemotives> ive been through all of that
[08:31] <Agent_bob> Kernel yes and unless you want to spring for satalite it's the only access here.
[08:31] <simplemotives> my problem starts before any of that really
[08:31] <Kernel> simplemotives: it could also be...it just isnt supported in linux yet....if its brand new
[08:31] <simplemotives> its supported.
[08:32] <Agent_bob> simplemotives if it's a lappy.   the wifi switch on the front is not turned off is it ?
[08:32] <simplemotives> ya, switch is on
[08:33]  * Agent_bob waits for the cussing fit to start...
[08:33] <MooCow> Hey
[08:33] <MooCow> How do i run this application?
[08:33] <jepes> hi guys, i just received the ubuntu 8.04 cd, what is the best file system for me to use? (it will be used only for desktop, home use, single pc internet connection to the internet)
[08:33] <MooCow> "/home/michael/Desktop/newbloot/trunk/infobot
[08:33] <Kernel> jepes: i myself use reiserFS
[08:33] <MooCow> how do i run it while keeping the full path info?
[08:33] <Kernel> jepes: but ext3 is also good to use
[08:34] <Agent_bob> MooCow sh /home/michael/Desktop/newbloot/trunk/infobot ???
[08:34] <jepes> Kernel : so which is better, reiserFS or ext3?
[08:34] <nogagplz> ext2 for the win
[08:34] <Kernel> i like reiser more jepes
[08:35] <simplemotives> brb
[08:35] <Agent_bob> nogagplz i'm with ya
[08:35] <jepes> Kernel : ok, thanks for the tip, i'll just google reiserFS and see the diff between ext3 and reiserFS.
[08:35] <arooni-mobile> is there a gui for fsck?
[08:35] <MooCow> ok /home/michael/Desktop/newbloot/trunk/infobot trunk is the directory infobot is the app
[08:35] <arooni-mobile> how do i fsck once i'm in live cd?
[08:35] <Kernel> jepes: yea. if its for just ya home computer...you likely wont notice a difference.
[08:36] <DistroJockey> jepes, if you want the most support (if you ever need it) I'd go with the default ext3
[08:36] <alraune> arooni-mobile: man e2fsck

[08:37] <Bob24> anyone here familiar with dosbox?
[08:37] <Agent_bob> arooni-mobile blah means put what ever gos there there
[08:37] <Bob24> just got a bit of a problem when trying to play an IPX game. I cant see other players

[08:37] <DTOPS1> Anyone know why gdesklets isnt working?
[08:37] <MooCow> ok
[08:38] <Rosen> Bob24: is it with vista clients on the ipx network ?
[08:38] <MooCow> i usually use ./infobot when im in the directory to launch the app
[08:38] <Kernel> Rosen: i dont know if its simple enough.....but i use pan2
[08:38] <MooCow> but i need to do all of this in one swoop
[08:38] <philip> im trying to find a solutions that can adopt the functions from MDaemon mail server wich can sync mail and all mails retain from the server
[08:38] <Rosen> Kernel: I'll check it out :) thanks
[08:38] <Kernel> but my isp just cut off all alt.*
[08:38] <Kernel> Rosen: np
[08:38] <Agent_bob> arooni-mobile blah might be sda1   or  sda5   or something.
[08:39] <Rosen> eek ... no usenet then :O
[08:39] <Kernel> nope..not unless i wanna pay
[08:39] <Kernel> which donations are open for ;-o
[08:39] <Rosen> then what is the point of usenet ;)
[08:39] <Kernel> nzbs!
[08:40] <Agent_bob> worms and virii ?
[08:40] <DistroJockey> JustinRyan, you could take a look in  /etc/gnome/defaults.list  and comment out (#) or remove the lines with  f-spot  in them (make a backup of the file first)
[08:40] <MooCow> gimme the code to run gui sudo nautliss
[08:40] <Kernel> lol
[08:40] <philip> thats why i want to ask if anyone succeed to build a linux mail server in ubuntu that has same functionality, if something happens to your HDD like it crashed, you can still get your mails from the server including sent items, inbox, deleted item
[08:40] <Bob24> Rosen: with xp
[08:40] <DistroJockey> JustinRyan, sorry, the above was for Justnulling2
[08:40] <Agent_bob> MooCow gksudo nautilus
[08:41] <nogagplz> gksudo nautilus ?
[08:41] <MooCow> yep thanks
[08:41] <jepes> Kernel : i think i'll go with reiser, as per wikiepdia, it has much better performance than  ext3, i think its time to experiment. thanks all
[08:41] <Flannel> philip: check out IMAP
[08:41] <Justnulling2> DistroJockey: thanks let me try it
[08:41] <Kernel> jepes: good luck!
[08:41] <DistroJockey> Justnulling2, the line is probably this one:  x-content/image-dcf=f-spot-import.desktop
[08:41] <MooCow> you know the very base directory, /?
[08:42] <MooCow> Is it ok to put stuff there?
[08:42] <MooCow> or will the computer implode?
[08:42] <wols> MooCow: don't
[08:42] <greenmanwitch> hi guys. I'm not an ubuntu user, so I don't know much, but I'm wondering: why doesn't canonical advertise ubuntu on television?
[08:42] <Kernel> lol
[08:42] <Flannel> MooCow: What do you want to put there?
[08:42] <MooCow> i need to ./infobot at startup
[08:42] <Kernel> MooCow: you can make dirs from / for example : /MyFiles
[08:42] <MooCow> and i have no idea how to
[08:42] <ljsoftnet> greenmanwitch to costly
[08:42] <DistroJockey> greenmanwitch, they don't need to
[08:42] <DTOPS1> Hello everyone, Can someone explain when i load gdesklets only a grey scren pops up
[08:42] <greenmanwitch> I'm sure they can afford to, and I really think that would make a difference, because in Australia I've NEVER seen a linux ad.
[08:42] <Agent_bob> jepes one thing.   you do know/realize that wikipidia is in fact the only definitive source of truth and perfect information anywhere in the world       don't you ?      :)))
[08:42] <Flannel> !bum | MooCow
[08:42] <wols> greenmanwitch: how much money does that cost except low quality late night infomercials?
[08:42] <jepes> ubuntu is already too popular for it to be televised.
[08:42] <philip> Flanel, i already check it but its not sync through my MS outlook, i tried to delete my mails from my windows xp but only inbox retrieve, sent item and deleted items wanst there
[08:42] <jepes> :)
[08:42] <greenmanwitch> DistroJockey: I think they do, many people haven't heard of linux
[08:43] <Agent_bob> jepes or was that google i forget...
[08:43] <greenmanwitch> wols: in Australia, where I live, about $30 000 per 30 seconds.
[08:43] <DistroJockey> greenmanwitch, well, start spreading the word ;)
[08:43] <Justnulling2> DistroJockey: do i need to relogin for this to take affect?
[08:43] <Flannel> philip: That's a sync issue with outlook.  IMAP *can* synch, both directions, etc.  Since I do it on a daily basis.
[08:43] <greenmanwitch> wols: to reach about 5 million people, on a good time.
[08:43] <MooCow> the thing is
[08:43] <Kernel> the allmighty goole. lets all praise the allknowing entity
[08:43] <wols> greenmanwitch: in the US where ubuntu wants to advertise hundreds of thousands to millions
[08:43] <DistroJockey> Justnulling2, not too sure on that, maybe
[08:43] <MooCow> i need to ./infobot to run it
[08:43] <Kernel> ;-)
[08:43] <Flannel> philip: So, you'll want to google for how to have IMAP work better with outlook
[08:43] <Kernel> *google
[08:43] <MooCow> how do i do that and include the full path information?
[08:43] <Flannel> MooCow: /path/to/infobot
[08:44] <ivan_> hello, my windows partition appears to have all folders empty, but i have the files on the windows partition, what can i do ??
[08:44] <wols> MooCow: you don't want to have infobot file in / at all
[08:44] <ljsoftnet> greenmanwitch one way or another windows or mac users, will switch to linux because its free
[08:44] <MooCow> gi know
[08:44] <greenmanwitch> wols: but still, I'm sure advertising would be worth it. Canonical is a big and wealthy company.
[08:44] <MooCow> i know
[08:44] <greenmanwitch> ljsoftnet: but it's not happening very fast..
[08:44] <MooCow> But it dosent launch if you dont have ./ before it
[08:44] <wols> greenmanwitch: you are mistkane. anyways: this is OT
[08:44] <MooCow> Ok
 ok thanks, do you have any url site that can have good setup of mail server in ubuntu server?
[08:44] <MooCow> if i go /home/michael/Desktop/newbloot/trunk/infobot
[08:44] <MooCow> it does something different
[08:44] <greenmanwitch> 2007 was "year of the linux desktop" supposedly, but there wasn't nearly as much growth as expected.
[08:44] <greenmanwitch> wols: ok, sorry.
[08:45] <wols> MooCow: copy the infobot to /usr/local/bin  and you can run it from everywhere
[08:45] <MooCow> how do i run it from everywhere
[08:45] <MooCow> so i could type infobot
[08:45] <wols> I just told you
[08:45] <MooCow> and it would run?
[08:45] <ljsoftnet> greenmanwitch not very fast, but its happening
[08:45] <Flannel> philip: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/email-services.html
 ok i'll check this out, thank you
[08:46] <Flannel> MooCow: Why do you want to do that?
[08:46]  * jepes double checks partition before formatting,6 partitions al in all, might accidentally delete my data drive.
[08:46] <Agent_bob> MooCow you could use your xchat (or other irc client you are talinig on)  and input   /exec -o /home/michael/Desktop/newbloot/trunk/infobot
[08:46] <Flannel> MooCow: If its running once, it's not like you'll need to call it a whole lot
[08:46] <MooCow> TO make it launch at startup
[08:46] <Flannel> !bum | MooCow
[08:46] <Flannel> MooCow: Please read that
[08:46] <wols> MooCow: that won't help with launching at startup btw
[08:47] <wols> Flannel: that won't help him (much) he'd run this infobot with root priviledges. not a good thing
[08:47] <greenmanwitch> ljsoftnet: more people are switching to vista than to linux..
[08:47] <Flannel> wols: Depends on the bot.  Just like other services, some of them set their users to other users.
[08:47] <Agent_bob> could run    su - someuser -- /path/to/infobot
[08:47] <MooCow> I just need it to boot
[08:47]  * butterz thats me!!!
[08:48] <oiaohm> Most likely because Linux still has some nasty glitches.
[08:48] <mirjam> hello
[08:48] <bullgard4> How can I make that the framebuffer console will use a smaller font than 16x8?
[08:48] <CoolTrainer_Doug> ok so i have a little progress on my wireless, i have the correct driver installed, but i'm not seeing any wireless networks in wicd
[08:48] <Agent_bob> bullgard4 "consolechars"  maybe
[08:48] <mirjam> i try to install the alsa-driver, but cannot find it with synaptic
[08:49] <MooCow> ok
[08:49] <Ayabara> !night
[08:49] <MooCow> ./
[08:49] <Agent_bob> bullgard4 you might boot with different rez
[08:49] <Ahadiel> CoolTrainer_Doug, sudo iwlist interface scan? (ie. interface = wlan0)
[08:49] <MooCow> That must be before the app. Or it does not work.
[08:49] <bullgard4> Agent_bob: I may not.
[08:49] <MooCow> ./infobot
[08:50] <Ahadiel> MooCow, Because since infobot is NOT in any of your PATH locations, you must specify it's full path.
[08:50] <MooCow> Ok
[08:50] <Ahadiel> MooCow, so ./ == Current Directory
[08:50] <Bob24> just got a bit of a problem when trying to play an IPX game. I cant see other players
[08:50] <Flannel> MooCow: to get it to run from anywhere, move it to ~/bin but that isn't going to solve your problem.
[08:50] <MooCow> where is a path locatioN!
[08:50] <wols> MooCow: do what Flannel just told you
[08:51] <CoolTrainer_Doug> Ahadiel: The thing is, when I run a lshw -c network it doesn't show an interface for my wireless
[08:51] <Agent_bob> might i point out that /usr/local/bin would be more suited
[08:51] <Ahadiel> CoolTrainer_Doug, iwconfig?
[08:51] <CoolTrainer_Doug> it says no wireless extensions for all three
[08:51] <Ahadiel> or even ln -s /path/to/infobot /usr/bin/
[08:51] <Flannel> Agent_bob: Than ~/bin?
[08:51] <ljsoftnet> greenmanwitch it doesn't matter once they know, that a lot of poeple hate microsoft they probably switch to linux or mac
[08:51] <Agent_bob> Flannel no. than /bin
[08:51] <Ahadiel> CoolTrainer_Doug, What wireless card do you have?
[08:52] <Flannel> Agent_bob: /bin is flat wrong
[08:52] <wols> Agent_bob: he said ~/bin big difference
[08:52] <Agent_bob> Flannel that's why i pointed.
[08:52] <CoolTrainer_Doug> Aironet Cisco Wireless is all it says when I run an lspci, Ahadiel
[08:52] <MooCow> Ok.
[08:52] <Ahadiel> CoolTrainer_Doug, well, if iwconfig doesn't say it has "wireless extensions", then the drivers aren't installed.
[08:52] <MooCow> If i put it in bin, how would i launch it?
[08:52] <rustychicken> what does ".cpp=.o" mean in a makefile?
[08:52] <wols> CoolTrainer_Doug: locate airo |grep ko
[08:53] <Flannel> !startup | MooCow
[08:53] <wols> rustychicken: it ocmpiles .cpp files to .o files with the command that follows
[08:53] <CoolTrainer_Doug> wols: it gave me two locations for the file
[08:53] <Ahadiel> wols, wouldn't modprobe -l | grep airo be sufficient?
[08:54] <wols> CoolTrainer_Doug: which?
[08:54] <rustychicken> wols: do you mean ".cpp.o" or ".cpp=.o", I see both in a sample makefile...
[08:54] <wols> Ahadiel: I dunno if he even HAD airo.ko so I checked
[08:54] <wols> rustychicken: they both mean the same IIRC
[08:54] <Ayabara> Window-stuff seems slow to me on kubuntu with kde4.1 rc1. Like changing desktops, open/close of new windows. Is optimization on of the focuspoints towards the 4.1 release?
[08:54] <wols> rustychicken: but that's no ubuntu support question is it?
[08:55] <CoolTrainer_Doug> wols: http://pastebin.com/m5b0b8f90
[08:55] <Ayabara> wrong channel..
[08:55] <rustychicken> wols: true, but thanks anyway  ;-)
[08:56] <lekshoo> sudo rmmod pcspkr
[08:56] <MooCow> OK the program is a perl script
[08:56] <MooCow> if that makes a diffrence
[08:57] <jepes> good thing i just received my ubuntu cd, i intalled kde remix last week, i didndt liked the new kde4 (or maybe i am just very used to in using gnome)
[08:57] <wols> CoolTrainer_Doug: lsmod |grep airo
[08:57] <lekshoo> Hey I have a problem with my intel wireless pro driver
[08:57] <lekshoo> card, rather
[08:58] <lekshoo> It just doesnt seem to work at all...
[08:58] <bullgard4> Many "green"
[08:58] <bullgard4> desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
[08:58] <arooni-mobile> for future reference, is there a way to run fsck so that it will automatically do the default action (and not prompt me each time)?
[08:58] <CoolTrainer_Doug> it says airo 74124 1
[08:58] <wols> !doesn't work | lekshoo
[08:58] <wols> CoolTrainer_Doug: so the driver is already loaded. ifconfig -a
[08:59] <JFCake> ....
[08:59] <JFCake> It just doesnt
[08:59] <wols> CoolTrainer_Doug: if there is no interface there, check dmesg for messages or errors about your driver
[08:59] <JFCake> Can't scan for networks
[08:59] <JFCake> Can't do any shizzle
[08:59] <gflash1981> Hi

[08:59] <MooCow> How do I launch a Perl script on startup?

[08:59] <JFCake> wlan0     Failed to read scan data : Resource temporarily unavailable
[08:59] <wols> CoolTrainer_Doug: then check dmesg as I said
[09:00] <Agent_bob> ok i got a "linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-52-686" now what about this "madwifi"  thingy ?
[09:00] <gflash1981> i have a problem here... since the update to kernel 2.6.24-19-generic alsa doesnt work anymore. I have absolutely no sound
[09:00] <wols> JFCake: driver loaded? any messages in dmesg?
[09:00] <MooCow> How do I launch a Perl script on startup?
[09:00] <DistroJockey> !wireless

[09:00] <wols> !bum | MooCow
[09:00] <gflash1981> i tried to load the driver for one of my cards (emu10k1) manually, but modprobe gives the error: module not found

[09:01] <bullgard4> What does 'to panic' mean in the following sentence: 'Many "green" desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.'? (I know the meaning of 'to panic' in every-day life.)
[09:01] <MooCow> Where is rc.local?
[09:01] <wols> !rc.local
[09:01] <MooCow> lol

[09:04] <wols> gflash1981: there must be a snd-emu10k1.ko somewhere...
[09:04] <gflash1981> wols: -gp means possibly gameport
[09:04] <ubuntu> hi, when I changed the icon size in nautilus to 75% also desktop icon size changed to 75% in fedora. but when i change the setting in ubuntu the desktop icons does't changed. what might be the problem
[09:04] <wols> CoolTrainer_Doug: that is unlikely since the module is loaded
[09:04] <wols> gflash1981: not possibly but certain
[09:04] <JFCake> well I don't know what sort of information yall need
[09:04] <gflash1981> wols: are you sure with the filename?

[09:04] <JFCake> but the thing does seem common with my wireless card
[09:04] <bullgard4> wols: The statement 'to panic is kernel panic' is a tautology. Your answer is useless.
[09:04] <wols> gflash1981: yes I am. it's the name of that alsa driver
[09:04] <Bob24> hello, is anyone here familiar with dosbox, I cant get ipx to see my other pc when i play a dos game.

[09:07] <Bob24> it works when it wants
[09:07] <CoolTrainer_Doug> wols; ok i looked again and didn't see anything, would you like me to pastebin?
[09:07] <MooCow> The problem is su - michael -- /home/michael/Desktop/newbloot/trunk/infobot dosent run the script
[09:07] <mechdave> MooCow, you only need a trailing slash if you are addressing a directory eg: ls /var/log/
[09:07] <alraune> wols:  modprobe  > snd-hda-intel already loaded, totem sound works, but not alsamixer
[09:07] <rustychicken> bullgard4: for more information on kernel panics, here's the wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_panic  it actually has a screenshot of a Linux kernel panic
[09:07] <JFCake> wols: the whole thing?
[09:07] <mechdave> MooCow, have you made the script executable?
[09:07] <Smegzor> Its at 640x480 so much dialogs are half below the desktop and unreachable :(
[09:07] <wols> JFCake: yes
[09:08] <MooCow> No
[09:08] <MooCow> how would i do that
[09:08] <Agent_bob> MooCow how do you know it doesn't ?
[09:08] <Agent_bob> MooCow how did you test it ?
[09:08] <MooCow> Because the program dosent run
[09:08] <MooCow> i tested in console
[09:08] <Agent_bob> how ?
[09:08] <MooCow> its not running the program
[09:08] <mechdave> MooCow, you need to set the executable bit by chmod +x <filename>

[09:12] <JFCake> but it has something to do with the kernel and intelprowilress shizzle
[09:12] <wols> JFCake: it's the wrong microcode or some microcode error
[09:12] <wols> JFCake: the firmware
[09:13] <MooCow> mechdave: what bots
[09:13] <JFCake> wols: word
[09:13] <JFCake> wols: any suggestions on what to do?

[09:13] <JFCake> -.-
[09:14] <Agent_bob> mechdave and just a thought but better than making his perl script executable why not call perl -e blah     or what ever the switch is for perl
[09:14] <mechdave> Agent_bob, true true
[09:15] <Finnish> My friend has windows, and I have a remote access to that PC. What is the best way to share folders, e.g. I could send him a folder that has fotos?
[09:15] <mechdave> Agent_bob, I didn't think of that :)
[09:15] <MooCow> How would i do that?
[09:15] <MooCow> Gimme the command if you find it
[09:15] <wols> Finnish: samba
[09:15] <ryanhaigh> hello all. can someone tell me the best way to get firefox 3 on gutsy?
[09:15] <wols> Finnish: or if you want to only show him those photos, run a webserver. (samba is very bad across the internet, only LAN)
[09:16] <JFCake> Well wols if you ever decide helping me with my shizzle feel free...
[09:16] <Finnish> wols: I want to send him the fotos
[09:16] <Agent_bob> my suspicion is that he is not inputing enough info for the bot to run.    server to connect to   port to use  channel to join....
[09:16] <shah> ryanhaigh: apt-get upgrade
[09:16] <MooCow> no
[09:16] <wols> Finnish: send it to you? sftp or ftp then
[09:16] <MooCow> i dont need those
[09:16] <mechdave> Agent_bob, I always put on the first line of my scripts #!/bin/perl -w
[09:16] <MooCow> config files take care of that
[09:16] <Flannel> ryanhaigh: theres a beta in -backports, you'll have to wait for final to be backported, or build yourself
[09:16] <wols> Agent_bob: the bot won't find its config files most likely
[09:16] <Agent_bob> mechdave i hope not lol
[09:16] <Flannel> ryanhaigh: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion
[09:16] <MooCow> yes it finds em

[09:17] <co0lingFir3> hello, where do i find a ubuntu package for xv?
[09:17] <Agent_bob> not perl --version
[09:17] <wols> MooCow: tell us the complete path for the file
[09:17] <Agent_bob> mechdave if your perl is in  /bin  you have one "differnet" setup there...
[09:18] <CoolTrainer_Doug> so if the drivers are there how do I install them so they show up whhen I run iwconfig?
[09:18] <MooCow>  /home/michael/desktop/newbloot/trunk/infobot
[09:18] <mnemo> i need a good GUI diff program for gnome? any recommendations?
[09:18] <wols> CoolTrainer_Doug: they are already installed. I asked you to run a command

[09:19] <MooCow> i know
[09:19] <wols> you know what?
[09:20] <fwaokda> everytime i boot up there is a new icon on the desktop thats a harddrive labeled 'disk' then 'disk1' (i guess it'll keep going up since i've only rebooted 2 times so far) how can i make it quit coming up?  It doesn't link to any devices...
[09:20] <CoolTrainer_Doug> wols: i'm not seeing a command to run >_>
[09:20] <wols> CoolTrainer_Doug: ifconfig -a
[09:20] <MooCow> how do i run a perl script?
[09:20] <MooCow> whats the command?
[09:20] <abchirk> perl
[09:20] <Starnestommy> honzo: perl script.pl or ./script.pl
[09:20] <mechdave> MooCow, perl <filename>
[09:20] <Starnestommy> er, MooCow
[09:20] <wols> MooCow: answer me. what does the command I gave you produce?
[09:20] <ryanhaigh> Flannel: thankyou, any idea when or how i can find out when ff3 will be in backports?
[09:20] <CoolTrainer_Doug> wols: it just has eth0, irda0, and lo

[09:21] <ryanhaigh> Flannel: seems no one is in irc at the moment...thanks again anyway
[09:22] <mechdave> MooCow, you need to start up CPAN now :)
[09:22] <MooCow> CPAN?
[09:22] <mechdave> MooCow, the perl module repository
[09:22] <abchirk> dario_ just check under which /dev its mounted and than format it with mkfs
[09:22] <Agent_bob> yeee haaw  !
[09:22] <Flannel> ryanhaigh: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports#Useful%20Links
[09:22] <wols> MooCow: that is what happens whenyou put it into /etc/rc.local too
[09:22] <MooCow> yes
[09:22] <abchirk> but umount it before :P or fdisk dario_
[09:22] <dario_> how do I do that ?
[09:23] <abchirk> you can check with mount the mounted filesystems
[09:23] <mechdave> anyone know the easy way to do perl -MCPAN -e shell and install logger.pl
[09:23] <abchirk> if its mounted
[09:23] <mkquist> i know this be offtopic, but is there a good channel (if anyone knows) that supports video in ubuntu?
[09:23] <wols> mechdave:   dh-make-perl --cpan
[09:24] <Flannel> !nickspam > weltall
[09:24] <dario_> found it thanks
[09:24] <abchirk> dario_ but think twice before formatting :P
[09:24] <abchirk> if its right name etc :)
[09:24] <mechdave> wols, would you mind talking MooCow through installing Logger::Simple pls?
[09:25] <wols> yes
[09:25] <MooCow> what
[09:25] <mechdave> wols, I have to go afk for a bit
[09:25] <MooCow> gimme the info
[09:25] <CoolTrainer_Doug> this wireless thing is so frustrating!  I'm going to go to bed, 430am here.  ill be on tomorrow so hopefully get this figured out
[09:25] <wols> mechdave: I don't do sysiphus work. too cumbersome for all involved
[09:26] <mechdave> wols, righto
[09:26] <MooCow> screw it ill just start it manually every time
[09:26] <dario_> I did thanks :D
[09:27] <mechdave> MooCow, Best thing to do mate is to go to http://www.cpan.org and look up installing modules as this bit is very hard to walk you through
[09:27] <kcma2> does anyone here know how to detect the ghost partitions of the newer laptops and see if a live disc has written to them at all?
[09:27] <un_dave> could someone tell me how to check my current installed nvidia driver version?
[09:27] <mechdave> MooCow, the module you need to install is Simple::Logger
[09:27] <MooCow> how and where
[09:28] <Ahadiel> un_dave, If you're thinking of installing it from the nVidia site, don't do it.
[09:28] <wols> kcma2: fdisk -l
[09:28] <un_dave> Ahadiel: not going to, have used envy in the past, just wondering what version i currently have installed
[09:28] <wols> un_dave: dpkg -l |grep nvidia
[09:29] <mech_away> MooCow, Start at the FAQ mate
[09:29] <wols> un_dave: envy is just as bad as nvidia.com
[09:29] <kcma2> wols and if i wanted to install a version of kubuntu to a newer laptop and not over write that partition is there a way of knowing that i have excluded that section?
[09:29] <aldobrrrr> hello
[09:29] <wols> don't overwrite the partition
[09:29] <abchirk> hey aldobrrrr
[09:30] <wols> kcma2: and of course make a backup of the partition. if you have no backup of it, the data is not important
[09:30] <bazhang> un_dave, envy is unsupported; envyng-gtk is supported
[09:30] <erpo> Whenever I make a DVD with DeVeDe, it plays back with choppy video on my set-top DVD player. How can I troubleshoot this?
[09:30] <bazhang> or qt- if you have kde
[09:30] <un_dave> wols: that worked. 169.12 if i shouldnt use envyng-gtk what should i use ?
[09:31] <wols> I did not say anything about envyng
[09:33] <aldobrrrr> I'm trying g15's lcd with xchat plugin, it's amazing!

[09:34] <rocko> How do you change ubuntu bootup resolution?
[09:34] <rocko> i have done it before by adding an app through add and remove programs

[09:34] <nikolam> Hi Should I post a bug on Launchpad, regarding one application that should be updated in Ubuntu?
[09:34] <Flannel> nikolam: yes, and/or contact the package maintainer
[09:35] <nikolam> OK
[09:35] <Chrysalis> rocko, you odnt have to download anything, you just edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst and add 'vga=#' at the end of the kernel line
[09:36] <nikolam> Flannel, In meantime I compiled *deb`s from Debian Iceape source. Should I use that until it lands on repo?
[09:37] <fwaokda> Can someone plz help I have a disk that keeps mounting on my ubuntu, but all it's properities are unknown and you can't open it or umount it without doing it through terminal with 'gksudo'... I searched the internet but have found nothing that helps since it comes up everytime I boot the computer.
[09:37] <Izbranniy> FloodBot2: hu are you
[09:37] <Flannel> nikolam: It may or may not work
[09:37] <aldobrrrr> yes there is a script for xchat that allow you to show chat message on g15's lcd, http://www.lattyware.co.uk/G15H/
[09:37] <nikolam> hm ;)
[09:38] <Izbranniy> Hi
[09:38] <abchirk> thx aldobrrrr
[09:38] <kevinmcq> gnite
[09:38] <Flannel> nikolam: Ah, its seamonkey?  You'd want to contact #ubuntu-motu about it
[09:38] <Izbranniy> Bye
[09:39] <Izbranniy> Hi
[09:39] <nikolam> Flannel, aah yes Will do it then right away, since it is also security-related, Thanks!
[09:39] <Izbranniy> Hm
[09:40] <aldobrrrr> abchirk, do you have a g15 keyboard?
[09:40] <abchirk> yes
[09:40] <Flannel> !offtopic | Izbranniy
[09:40] <abchirk> but only a clock on the display :P
[09:40] <Flannel> Izbranniy: Please go to #ubuntu-offtopic for chatting

[09:41] <Flannel> !ru | Izbranniy
[09:42] <Smegzor> ok I give up, How do I get a screen res above 640x480?  I have tried dpkg-reconfigure and the system menu and editing the xorg config directly.
[09:42] <Izbranniy> Thanks
[09:42] <IndyGunFreak> Smegzor: what is your graphics device/
[09:42] <Smegzor> its a Dell pc.  thats all I know atm
[09:42] <IndyGunFreak> Smegzor: well no wonder you're not getting anywhere
[09:42] <Smegzor> yeah I figured that :)
[09:42] <IndyGunFreak> Smegzor: open a terminal and run lspci and see what the output it is for your graphics device
[09:43] <abchirk> aldobrrrr do you know more plugs? :9
[09:45] <Smegzor> IndyGunFreak: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
[09:45] <IndyGunFreak> Smegzor: ok..
[09:45] <IndyGunFreak> so what did you do when you ran reconfigure?
[09:46] <kcma2> i am about to install kubuntu to my acer laptop model 5570Z anyone have any warnings i should watch out for?
[09:46] <IndyGunFreak> kcma2: it probably has broadcomm wireless
[09:46] <IndyGunFreak> kcma2: other warning, kubuntus ucks..lol
[09:46] <kcma2> indygunfreak you think so
[09:47] <kcma2> indygunfreak i have an ubuntu and kubuntu laptop so i would pretty much be set
[09:47] <IndyGunFreak> kcma2: its personal experience of course, i find Kubuntu(and KDE in general), slow to the point of unuseable.
[09:47] <IndyGunFreak> i could never use Kubuntu, but if you like it, thats your biz
[09:48] <IndyGunFreak> kcma2: do you know what wireless device that laptop has?
[09:48] <kcma2> indygunfreak the only issues i am having about jumping into linux soully is that i use a lot of gaming apps and i dont want to not beable to use them you know what i mean?
[09:48] <IndyGunFreak> kcma2: i don't game, but yes, i know what you mean
[09:48] <kcma2> indygunfreak no but i could get that info before i start i guess it has vista on it now and is having some major memory issues and i am sure that it is nothing but the OS doing it
[09:49] <Smegzor> IndyGunFreak: I just ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg again and it never mentions video card or graphics, just keyboard essentially
[09:49] <[mando]> Hi. What does it mean when you try to ping a site, and you get a reply from localhost?
[09:49] <IndyGunFreak> kcma2: yeah, but the live CD, and run lspci and see what the devices are... that will be a start..
[09:49] <Smegzor> IndyGunFreak: Also in the config there are no entries for video resolutions or any mention of video stuff
[09:50] <Smegzor> IndyGunFreak: There was one line that said "Dude, its a dHell"  jk
[09:50] <firefox> someone using antivirus ?
[09:50] <kcma2> indygunfreak that is the best idea i have had for this process so far
[09:51] <kcma2> indygunfreak thanks
[09:51] <firefox> anrtivirus programs ?
[09:51] <IndyGunFreak> no prob.. that will at least let you know what your up against.
[09:51] <SuperQ> firefox: someone, somewhere
[09:51] <IndyGunFreak> Smegzor: it enver asked you to configure a graphics device, or set resolutions?
[09:51] <Smegzor> I'm using antivirus :P  To keep scan a dual booting XP
[09:51] <Smegzor> IndyGunFreak: nope
[09:51] <IndyGunFreak> firefox: they are out there... but really not necessary, unless you're wanting to scan files to protect a windows computer
[09:52] <DistroJockey> !antivirus | firefox
[09:52] <firefox>  cool
[09:52] <firefox> n o virus
[09:52] <IndyGunFreak> Smegzor: very unusual.
[09:52] <Smegzor> avast for linux is great
[09:52] <firefox> space less
[09:52] <firefox> thanks all
[09:52] <SuperQ> IndyGunFreak: I use clamav+clamsmtp to scan inbound email for windows mail clients
[09:52] <firefox> nice comminity
[09:52] <Smegzor> IndyGunFreak: I was it was unusual, but its not :/
[09:52] <Smegzor> er  I wish :P
[09:53] <kcma2> cEmx what is the ping thing for?
[09:53] <Smegzor> Operator Error, replace user and press Esc
[09:53] <Mechdave> There are linux viruses tho... they are not very prevalent tho
[09:53] <IndyGunFreak> SuperQ: thats about the only use for Linux AV.. Linux viruses are out there, but there aern't very many, and you generally have to be retarded enough to run them as root for them to do something really destructive
[09:53] <SuperQ> IndyGunFreak: right
[09:53] <qdb__> can i install kde3 and kde4 both?, there is already gnome.
[09:54] <SuperQ> ls /var/spool/clamsmtp/ | wc -l
[09:54] <SuperQ> 6361
[09:54] <SuperQ> lots and lots of windows mail viriuses :)
[09:54] <DistroJockey> qdb__, try   sudo tasksel
[09:54] <oiaohm> With Linux viruses its worth while knowing how to set you hids and the like up for linux.  clamav is kinda handy so you don't forward windows email viruses to people getting you in there bad books.
[09:55] <oiaohm> Yes virus scanner on linux is more about protecting near by windows users.
[09:56] <kcma2> cEmx why are you pinging me?
[09:56] <IndyGunFreak> oiaohm: if i forward a virus to a windows user on accident, i tell them its their fault for not listening to me.
[09:56] <owner> I just finish to install gutsy and after usplash finishes, my computer stop at :
[09:56] <owner> Running local boot scripts ok

[09:57] <oiaohm> http://www.chkrootkit.org/ and http://rkhunter.sourceforge.net/ are also good to run on linux from time to time.  Just to make sure the system is not root kitted.
[09:57] <owner> cos i am doing netboot and hardy is no good for that
[09:57] <IndyGunFreak> ok

[10:11] <crdlb> naftilos76: why do you think you have to?

[10:13] <crdlb> erpo: it's in the multiverse component, so I don't see why it would be "crippled"

[10:16] <OsamaK> IndyGunFreak, Note me, when you back..
[10:18] <DistroJockey> nomingzi, (hd0) and /dev/sda are probably the same on your setup. Installing to the MBR of (hd0) or /dev/sda is the way to go if you only have that OS

[10:19] <butterz> nomingzi, although i usually split my home partition from my root partition so that i can reinstall something else down the road if i wish to
[10:20] <fackamato> I don't want to recompile my whole kernerl, but only a module (going to apply a patch)
[10:20] <owner> I NEED SOME HELP PLASE  I just finish to install gutsy and after usplash finishes, my computer stop at :   Running local boot scripts .........ok
[10:21] <imperfect-> Anyone able to get optical out working ?
[10:21] <IndyGunFreak> OsamaK: you around?
[10:21] <crdlb> qdb__: updates contains bug fixes and other important updates to software in the ubuntu repos, whereas backports contains newer versions of packages backported from newer ubuntu release
[10:21] <dexter_lab> my firefox is closing abruplty.. can anyone explain why??
[10:22] <qdb__> thank  you
[10:22] <DistroJockey> dexter_lab, at a guess, flash plugin
[10:22] <IndyGunFreak> OsamaK: you still around
[10:22] <dexter_lab> DistroJockey: so wat do i do now
[10:23] <DistroJockey> dexter_lab, disable or remove it if you think it may be the cause
[10:23] <OsamaK> IndyGunFreak, I'm going for another 10 minutes :)
[10:23] <OsamaK> I was there..
[10:23] <IndyGunFreak> ok
[10:23] <OsamaK> IndyGunFreak, Could you reply?
[10:23] <IndyGunFreak> to the thread? no
[10:24] <owner> bcos i am installing via networkboot and that process is broken in Hardy
[10:24] <OsamaK> IndyGunFreak, That would be easier
[10:24] <IndyGunFreak> OsamaK: for you
[10:24] <OsamaK> thanks :-)
[10:24] <dexter_lab> DistroJockey: but then i woudnt be able 2 watch online videos
[10:25] <butterz> dexter_lab, i would try removing .mozilla and letting it rebuild - n see if that helps any
[10:25]  * IndyGunFreak agrees w/ butterz
[10:25] <DistroJockey> dexter_lab, not flash ones, no. I am just guessing it is that. If you visit a site the doesn't have flash does FF still crash?
[10:25] <IndyGunFreak> dexter_lab: or install Firefox2, its in the repos... and is generally extremely stable.
[10:26] <dexter_lab> IndyGunFreak: yes
[10:26] <IndyGunFreak> DistroJockey: are there any websites left that don't use flash?.. :)
[10:26] <DistroJockey> IndyGunFreak, www.google.com
[10:27] <DistroJockey> ;P
[10:27] <IndyGunFreak> :), ok, so you found one fo the last 2 or 3.. :)
[10:27] <dns53> DistroJockey what about google labs?
[10:27] <DistroJockey> dns53, what about them?
[10:27] <erpo> Where can I find a complete list of all of the features that have been removed/crippled in Ubuntu? Specifically I'm thinking of multimedia format support.
[10:28] <IndyGunFreak> erpo: just add the medibuntu repository, and install w32codecs, and that should fix it... I've not ran into a format i can't run yet.
[10:28] <erpo> IndyGunFreak: I'm trying to figure out why devede is producing low bitrate output video that looks bad on my DVD player. I think it may be due to crippling, and I want to find out for sure.
[10:29] <butterz> although matroska and flash don't run that well - i would consider it crippled
[10:29] <IndyGunFreak> erpo: i doubt its do to crippeling, what are you using to watch DVDs?
[10:29] <erpo> IndyGunFreak: My set top dvd player.
[10:29] <IndyGunFreak> erpo: oh ok.. i'm not real sre on that
[10:29] <erpo> IndyGunFreak: And I know for a fact that it's not obeying the output video bitrate settings.
[10:30] <butterz> if you install ubuntu-restricted-extras and regionset, it will fix dvd issues
[10:31] <erpo> butterz: I'm not having issues playing dvds. I'm having issues encoding dvds.
[10:32] <butterz> erpo, are you using growisofs for that?
[10:32] <erpo> butterz: No, I'm using dvd, which is using mencoder to make the mpgs, which is doing it wrong.
[10:32] <Z-Seti> Hello  :)
[10:32] <erpo> s/dvd/devede/
[10:32] <muntrue> Hello
[10:33] <muntrue> I need some help configuring my system to see my video card (RAdeon IGP 345M)
[10:33] <Z-Seti> I have a question about setting up a main server, whats the best one for Ubuntu?
[10:33] <butterz> erpo, i am not a pro, but try acidrip and set it to pass 2 times
[10:33] <ytsestef> hi everyone
[10:33] <ytsestef> how can i add a new session in gnome? i want to edit the session from scratch
[10:33] <arvind_khadri> !best | Z-Seti
[10:34] <IndyGunFreak> arvind_khadri: thats impossible, because gnome is the best desktop GUI... :)
[10:34] <Z-Seti> arvind_khadri, not helpful maye
[10:34] <IndyGunFreak> Z-Seti: sure it is..
[10:34] <erpo> butterz: acidrip rips dvds. I'm trying to make a dvd.
[10:34] <arvind_khadri> IndyGunFreak,  :P i dont feel so :P i like xfce and enlightment too ;)
[10:35] <JuzzyD> Good evening folks, can anyone help me with opinions of the best usenet news reader to use?
[10:35] <Z-Seti> Ok, is there a support mail server for ubuntu that has a gui?
[10:35] <IndyGunFreak> JuzzyD: there's no best one, install a couple, and see which one you like best.
[10:35] <JuzzyD> Wow, sorry bot.
[10:35] <erpo> JuzzyD: pan
[10:35] <butterz> :P growisofs is about the best thing ive found so far for that
[10:35] <ytsestef> i can't believe such an important operation is not as easy as other more advanced stuff
[10:35] <JuzzyD> I come in here and disobey the bot straight off.
[10:35] <IndyGunFreak> !sorry | JuzzyD
[10:36] <JuzzyD> Bad start. So pan erpo. I'm on it.
[10:36] <JuzzyD> Any others to try?
[10:36] <muntrue> I need some help configuring my system to see my video card (RAdeon IGP 345M)
[10:37] <wamty> W: Failed to fetch http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz  The HTTP server sent an invalid reply header [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]
[10:37] <wamty> im facing this problem
[10:37] <wamty> im aving problems with updating Ubuntu repos.
[10:38] <wamty> can anyone help me please?
[10:38] <OsamaK> back
[10:38] <bazhang> wamty, where did you get that source
[10:38] <butterz> JuzzyD, 'pan' is about the best one ive seen for linux.
[10:39] <JuzzyD> cheers
[10:39] <wamty> bazhang: from their repos.
[10:39] <wamty> I tried many sources, giving same error
[10:39] <JuzzyD> now i've got to work out how to search it
[10:39] <wamty> I even tried the main server, and the U.S server also
[10:39] <bazhang> wamty, that came standard with your install or you added it
[10:40] <JuzzyD> My isp just swapped from their own crappy news groups to giving us free giganews access, which is pretty cool
[10:40] <OsamaK> IndyGunFreak, Hello
[10:41] <IndyGunFreak> OsamaK: run lspci on the pc that doesn't work, and tell me ho it identifies your ethernet controller, adn you're wireless device.
[10:41] <wamty> http://pastebin.ca/1077426
[10:41] <Mushan^> whats the esiest way to set up an ftp in ubuntu =?
[10:41] <wamty> bazhang, that the whole error
[10:41] <bazhang> wamty, standard or you added it
[10:41] <OsamaK> IndyGunFreak, So, skip live cd boot?
[10:41] <butterz> JuzzyD, i use usenet heavy, pan can handle it very well, in fact, it's the best news reader i have ever used
[10:41] <IndyGunFreak> OsamaK: no, you'll have to do it from the live CD... how else are you going tod o it?
[10:42] <wamty> bazhang: I was using the main server source, but it gave this error, so I changed to other source, also the same, and now the same
[10:42] <JuzzyD> How do i search for an article without having to download every header of every group?
[10:42] <wamty> bazhang: been like this for a week
[10:42] <OsamaK> IndyGunFreak, Is 'lspci' a command?  I'm trying to use the UDP functionality of netcat to test an UDP server I wrote. Because the server deals with a lot of binary data (that is byte values below 0x20 and even the NUL character), I need some way to enter those values, too. How can I do that? And the fact that I have to hit enter sending a new line feed (0x0A) everytime I want a datagram to be sent is also annoying. Any suggestions on how to avoid this?
[10:43] <OsamaK> IndyGunFreak, I have already Ubuntuu installed on my computer..
[10:43] <IndyGunFreak> OsamaK: ok, so you don't need to do it from a live dd
[10:43] <IndyGunFreak> *cd
[10:44] <OsamaK> ok :)
[10:44] <IndyGunFreak> OsamaK: go to app/accessories/terminal  and type "lspci" no quotes, then hit enter.
[10:44] <butterz> JuzzyD, you could use nzb's and use hellanzb, witch is another excellent way go use usenet
[10:44] <owner> I NEED SOME HELP PLASE  I just finish to install gutsy and after usplash finishes, my computer stop at :   Running local boot scripts .........ok
[10:44] <roxygirl> hey, i've recently upgraded to hardy but now half of my plug-n-plays don't work, how can i roll back to gutsy?
[10:44] <IndyGunFreak> OsamaK: look for a couple of lines, similar to this...  06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
[10:44] <bazhang> roxygirl, fresh install
[10:45] <IndyGunFreak> maybe not that exact device, but that gives you an idea what you're looking for.
[10:45] <JuzzyD> Thanks butterz.
[10:45] <roxygirl> bazhang: for real?  arghhh.  is there an easy backup tool then? rather then just copying my important docs?
[10:45] <wamty> bazhang: I went to Administration > Software Sources > and chosen one from there
[10:46] <wamty> bazhang: here is my sources.list http://www.pastebin.ca/1077430
[10:46] <butterz> JuzzyD, but i like downloading em all so i can see what's out there.  i use hellanzb with lottanzb for a gui
[10:47] <JuzzyD> Cheers, I don't get a lot of bandwidth cause I'm an Australian unfortunately.
[10:47] <Pora> no one?
[10:47] <DistroJockey> owner, try removing   quiet splash   from your kernel boot line (might give a better error message)
[10:47] <wamty> bazhang: ?
[10:47] <butterz> JuzzyD, you can find nzb's out there at newzbin i think, and grab that way using hellanzb
[10:47] <JuzzyD> So it makes downloading all the headers kind of inefficient when I get only 20gb per month.
[10:47] <owner> how do i do that?
[10:48] <bazhang> wamty does sudo apt-get upgrade give you any new packages to install
[10:49] <DistroJockey> owner, press e when at the grub boot menu or edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[10:49] <owner> ok
[10:49] <marius___> hi. i'm trying to install ubuntu but i do not understand this swap thing. can anyone explayn it to me?
[10:49] <butterz> JuzzyD, yea, that sucs - 20 gig aint that much, especially if they are counting header download.  you can get on good newsservers for under $15 though if you look around.
[10:49] <wamty> bazhang: yea, lots of it says unauthenticated
[10:49] <joaopinto> !swap | marius___
[10:50] <wamty> bazhang: I have changed the source again now and updating \
[10:50] <bazhang> wamty, that happens here from time to time
[10:50] <OsamaK> IndyGunFreak, http://paste.ubuntu.com/28674/
[10:50] <JuzzyD> Nah thats what my ISP gives me all up, not just usenet. It's all I get for a whole month full stop.
[10:50] <OsamaK> IndyGunFreak, This is all
[10:50] <bazhang> wamty, you can either try again later or just ignore (which is what I do)
[10:50] <wamty> bazhang: what should I do? and why does it happen?
[10:50] <JuzzyD> Including all updated and everything else. We're so behind in Australia!
[10:51] <wamty> why does it happen?
[10:51] <IndyGunFreak> OsamaK: you should be able to get your intel wireless device working fairly easily(most work out of the box), but I'm not that familiar w/ intel wireless..
[10:51] <IndyGunFreak> i've always sued atheros and madwifi
[10:51] <DistroJockey> wamty, bazhang : I usually try again later :)
[10:51] <bazhang> wamty, the authentication does not get dl'd so it thinks its a suspect package (server issue likely in this case)
[10:51] <wamty> Aha.. no it's not that big deal, eh?
[10:52] <bazhang> not really
[10:52] <butterz> JuzzyD, that sucks megadildoes!  i can do that in a week without trying :P
[10:52] <DistroJockey> wamty, nope, no bid deal
[10:52] <OsamaK> IndyGunFreak, Now, I don't have a wireless connection, but I cannot even use wire one..
[10:52] <DistroJockey> big^
[10:52] <owner> how do i get wirle support in unbuntu
[10:52] <owner> wireless card
[10:52] <IndyGunFreak> OsamaK: because it can't identify the device.. look in LSPCI, it tells you right there, "unknown device"
[10:52] <arvind_khadri> !ask | owner
[10:52] <muntrue_> Hey all, im having some real issues with my ATI Radeon IGP 345M, im pretty new to ubuntu. Is there anyone who can help me ?
[10:52] <owner> if at all possible
[10:52] <bazhang> !wifi | owner
[10:52] <wamty> bazhang: the authentication is not that big deal, but the update thingy, will it be solved?
[10:53] <IndyGunFreak> OsamaK: do you not have wireless access in your home?
[10:53] <roxygirl> ok, next q...how can i log in as root?  but not from the shell, so that i can have privleges to remove stuff from my phone card?
[10:53] <OsamaK> IndyGunFreak, In my home, but not there.. ;)
[10:53] <owner> ty
[10:53] <bazhang> wamty, the failed to fetch one? just usually fixes itself as I have seen
[10:53] <roxygirl> (using rhythmbox)
[10:53] <arvind_khadri> muntrue_, be more clear... ask the question directly
[10:53] <DistroJockey> owner, I thought you couldn't even boot and now you are asking about wireless?
[10:53] <IndyGunFreak> OsamaK: well, your best bet is to get your wireless working...
[10:53] <bazhang> roxygirl, never ever log in as root
[10:54] <owner> well thats the whole idea
[10:54] <JuzzyD> butterz, tell me about it. When I move I think i'm going unlimited bandwidth.
[10:54] <owner> i will be using it wirles
[10:54] <marius___> so if i have 768 MB ram and i select Guided partion with encrypted LVM, can you explain me why in the havens is making the swap partion of _5 GB_?? on the link you gave me it says 2*n MB but 5 GB is not 2*768 MB...
[10:54] <JuzzyD> At a blistering 512/512 down/up stream
[10:54] <bazhang> owner, to trouble shoot wireless you need a working system to troubleshoot on
[10:54] <wamty> bazhang: thanks
[10:54] <wamty> :)
[10:54] <bazhang> np
[10:54] <muntrue_> My ATI card does not seem to have the right drivers, the refresh rate of everything is extremely slow. I think it is using the vesa driver. Ive had these issues before and switched back to XP. I really want to use ubuntu but its hardly managable now.
[10:55] <roxygirl> bazhang: well here's what happens.  i delete files from my phone card, either through rhythmbox or nautilus.  then i go to double check the trash and i try and delete it from there (otherwise it's just taking uyp memory) and it removes it only to spit it right back there again
[10:55]  * IndyGunFreak has found the new version of opera sucks, it pushes my processes used to 100%...
[10:55] <JuzzyD> is there a free equiv of newzbin?
[10:55] <owner> b4 i breack my bacj]k trying to get to work i wanted to find out if it will serve my purpose to begin with
[10:55] <roxygirl> bazhang: not a user issue?
[10:55] <butterz> JuzzyD, i am in the us states, and we are behind also - we don't have alot of isp's to choose from with high bandwidth
[10:55] <bazhang> roxygirl, you delete stuff from phone and then want to empty trash? to free up space on the phone? then use sudo to delete those files
[10:56] <arvind_khadri> roxygirl, after you delete the files unmount the drive and then again mount it :)
[10:56] <muntrue_> My ATI card does not seem to have the right drivers, the refresh rate of everything is extremely slow. I think it is using the vesa driver. Ive had these issues before and switched back to XP. I really want to use ubuntu but its hardly managable now. Anyone that can help me with this ?
[10:56] <owner> I am talk more about compatibilty here
[10:56] <bazhang> !info envyng-gtk | muntrue_
[10:56] <arvind_khadri> muntrue_, set your refresh rate a bit here??
[10:56] <owner> i have a lynsys card
[10:56] <wamty> on my other system I do have another prob too: i have an annoying problem (or feature? dont know), if a key is pressed on my keyboard i cannot move the mouse. seems to have sth to do with touchpads and mouseemu package wich isnt installed? im using kubuntu 8.04
[10:56] <arvind_khadri> muntrue_, i meant set it a bit higher
[10:57] <bazhang> owner, no point in talking until you have a working system
[10:57] <butterz> muntrue_, what ati card you packing?
[10:57] <roxygirl> k, will try
[10:57] <wamty> bazhang, any idea on this one?
[10:57] <muntrue_> butterz, Radeon IGP 345M. on Compaq nx9010 laptop
[10:57] <Kate_Mins> Hello , I need help , does it possible to use "ping" command on ports ? (i would like to ping computer which connected to a router) ?
[10:57] <bazhang> wamty, laptop? using a mouse with it?
[10:58] <OsamaK> IndyGunFreak, Afrer all, do you have any idea how to use my wire connection? BTW, I may use un-free drivers if that requested..
[10:58] <butterz> muntrue_, have you looked under restricted drivers? and nothing there?
[10:58] <muntrue_> butterz, Yep. nothing is there
[10:58] <IndyGunFreak> OsamaK: i have no clue.. never saw that device, and like i said, its coming up unknown, so there's obviously not kernel level support for it... gonna be hard to find a driver for it when you don't even know what the device is
[10:58] <wamty> desktop pc
[10:58] <wamty> and a logitech usb mouse
[10:59] <hazz> so many people
[10:59] <OsamaK> IndyGunFreak, I have windwos vista, as written, and I can get driver name..
[10:59] <muntrue_> butterz, Here is my xorg.conf if thats any help http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m1c03a498
[10:59] <IndyGunFreak> OsamaK: thats probably not gonna help you much w/ Ubuntu
[11:00] <IndyGunFreak> you might be able to get it working w/ ndiswrapper..
[11:00] <ben42> Kate_Mins you can use "telnet <ip> <port>" to check if it is open/reachable  or closed
[11:00] <butterz> muntrue_, hardware drivers i mean - that must be a real new card huh?  i would try googling around - try changing xorg to ati or radeon until you find something
[11:00] <taomaster> hello how can i get xvid file to work in Ubuntu 8.04?
[11:00] <wamty> ?
[11:00] <bazhang> taomaster, use vlc?
[11:00] <IndyGunFreak> butterz: i don't think ATI ever shows up in hardware drivers (at least to my knowledge)
[11:01] <muntrue_> butterz, No not at all a new card. It is pretty old. I have searched many forums but no real answers. Im pretty new to ubuntu so im not sure what to do
[11:01] <muntrue_> butterz, From the looks of Xorg.conf it looks like there is no driver used at all.
[11:01] <IndyGunFreak> muntrue_: ati is a pain in the rump w/ Linux.. just a fact of life.
[11:01] <owner> how do install ubuntu with sudo
[11:02] <muntrue_> IndyGunFreak, I know but still this should be solvable. There are some real smart people here.
[11:02] <joaopinto> !sudo | owner
[11:02] <DistroJockey> muntrue_, this post may help :  http://ge.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=579596&page=2
[11:02] <IndyGunFreak> muntrue_: i agree, it should be.. but for the most part, the ATI driver sucks...
[11:02] <butterz> muntrue_, i am using a ati 9200, which is ancient - but i still can run compize somewhat, and videos, and my xorg uses ati open source driver
[11:02] <DistroJockey> IndyGunFreak, my ATI works fine :)
[11:02] <bazhang> owner, what do you mean install ubuntu with sudo
[11:02] <owner> yeah sudo command
[11:02] <IndyGunFreak> DistroJockey: there's always an exception.. :)
[11:03] <muntrue_> butterz, Yea this card should be capable of that too. If only it could be configured right :) Sadly im in the dark on that part
[11:03] <bazhang> owner, livecd alternate cd minimal iso or what
[11:03] <IndyGunFreak> bazhang: sudo apt-get install ubuntu
[11:03] <DistroJockey> IndyGunFreak, heh, true. I am using a R300 9600pro :)
[11:03] <bazhang> IndyGunFreak, aha
[11:03] <owner> gusty

[11:04] <DistroJockey> IndyGunFreak, nope, I use the xorg driver

[11:04] <roxygirl> bazhang: unmounting and remounting hasn't solved my trash problem.  and when i go and try and delete the files from /media/PHONE CARD...it can't find the directories
[11:04] <owner> so any help
[11:04] <IndyGunFreak> DistroJockey: ah, ok... that makes sense
[11:04] <bazhang> owner, what are you using now; kde gnome or other
[11:04] <DistroJockey> IndyGunFreak, correction, it does show, I just refuse to use it
[11:04] <butterz> muntrue_, mine ran with gutsy on the git go - so i am real suprised you would be having an issue like that :(
[11:04] <IndyGunFreak> ok
[11:04] <owner> nothing yet
[11:04] <bazhang> owner, you dont install ubuntu with sudo
[11:05] <owner> this is a new install
[11:05] <muntrue_> butterz, Im running hardy. Gutsy wouldnt run at all. Ill have tv-scanlines all over the place
[11:05] <owner> the command i mean
[11:05] <bazhang> owner, did you remove quiet and splash from menu.lst to see the errors?

[11:06] <dynamethod> Hey there i just wen to the Java site to see if my java was up to date, but the site says it isnt, i have java version "1.6.0_06", is the latest version in the repo's because if so i cant find it :S
[11:06] <butterz> muntrue_, have you tried at lower resolution at all?  maybe if you kick it down to 1024x768 it may kick in
[11:07] <muntrue_> wols, Yea but im completely in the dark. I really have no knowledge about ubuntu and videocard drivers. I understand i somewhere have to edit xorg.conf
[11:07] <dynamethod> java crashes heaps too...
[11:07] <dynamethod> not using 64bit ubuntu btw
[11:07] <muntrue_> butterz, Im at 1024x768 already. Cant go any higher :)
[11:07] <roxygirl> bazhang: i'm trying to find it, but it's hidden...how do i find hidden files in the shell.  /media/PHONE_/.Trash-1000/files
[11:07] <wols> muntrue_: check Xorg.0.log for what drivers are used
[11:08] <wols> roxygirl: ls -al

[11:11] <butterz> muntrue_, yea i see that - for some reason, it hal didn't configure you at all!  i dunno why - are you using desktop ubuntu? maybe if you were to dpkg-reconfigure xorg with the -phigh switch - that don't look right at the moment
[11:11] <bazhang> owner, you have logged in? not sure what you mean by the installer menu
[11:12] <DistroJockey> mr_boo, try in #xubuntu maybe
[11:12] <bazhang> mr_boo, you may also ask in xubuntu channel
[11:12] <muntrue_> butterz, ill try that in a sec. editing xorg now see if that works
[11:12] <owner> found it

[11:15] <DistroJockey> roxygirl, add a   -v   to the command maybe
[11:16] <styrman> is there any application where i can "shrink" the hardrive size of current partition? i put ubuntu on one partition and now i want to multiboot :(
[11:16] <roxygirl> distroJockey--thanks

[11:16] <dynamethod> hey there, im about to download the lastest java from sun.com, anything i should know before i do this? should i remove my current java installation(which i obtained via the repo's) ?
[11:16] <DistroJockey> roxygirl, you're welcome
[11:16] <roxygirl> distrojockey--what if it's a program, like rhythmbox that has a GUI, and that's where the data transfer began.  how can i find that info then?
[11:17] <dynamethod> or should i just download the latest version and install via the online instructions?
[11:17] <DJGummikuh> Hello
[11:17] <DistroJockey> roxygirl, not sure on that one sorry
[11:17] <DJGummikuh> I already asked yesterday and I hope that today someone can point me to hte solution
[11:17] <bazhang> dynamethod, why do you need the newest
[11:17] <roxygirl> distrojockey: alright, thanks anyways
[11:17] <DJGummikuh> I have an nvidia 8800 gt and two monitors using DVI - how can I use both monitors with the nvidia propietary driver?
[11:17] <DistroJockey> roxygirl, no problem
[11:17] <RudyValencia> I want to install Ubuntu on my desktop (which currently has an installation of Windows XP), but my hard drive is too small; how do I move my partition to a larger drive without breaking Windows? Can I use standard Linux tools, or do I need PartitionMagic?
[11:18] <dynamethod> bazhang because java is constantly crashing
[11:18] <dynamethod> like all the time
[11:18] <RudyValencia> (I want to run both side-by-side)
[11:18] <dynamethod> it takes up %100 of the cpu everytime i view an applet via firefox 3
[11:18] <dynamethod> using 32bit ubuntu btw
[11:18] <bazhang> dynamethod, how many extensions do you have
[11:18] <DistroJockey> !dualboot | RudyValencia
[11:19] <amirman> i broke ubuntu
[11:19] <dynamethod> im using noscript and addblock plus, as well as download helper
[11:19] <IndyGunFreak> has anyone saw the background for the new version of frostwire?... lol
[11:19] <dynamethod> yes i make sure noscript allows java
[11:19] <ben42> DJGummikuh: do you like to edit the xorg.conf or are you looking for a GUI-Tool?
[11:20] <DJGummikuh> ben42: well I'm coming from gentoo, so editing xorg.conf is nothing new for me.. though I would prefer the ubuntu-GUI-style of doing it :P
[11:20] <dynamethod> but say if i switch workspace, firefox3 and java crash, and it hogs the entire cpu, when i run pgrep -l java_vm the process is still running...
[11:20] <dynamethod> so i have to kill it all the time
[11:20] <bazhang> dynamethod, try tail -f /var/log/messages to see what caused the crash (try to reproduce it then check terminal running output)
[11:20] <DJGummikuh> ubuntuusers wiki is down -.-
[11:21] <dynamethod> nothing in messages, but it dumps a hs_err_pid6392.log in my home folder
[11:21] <dynamethod> though its not much use to me, i dont understand anything within the log
[11:21] <bazhang> dynamethod, you sure it is java
[11:21] <dynamethod> yes
[11:21] <dynamethod> very sure
[11:21] <IndyGunFreak> DJGummikuh: lol...  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcQ7RkyBoBc
[11:22] <ben42> DJGummikuh: i do not know, if it is useful, but you can try this tool: package nvidia-settings
[11:22] <dynamethod> bazhang An unexpected error has been detected by Java Runtime Environment:
[11:22] <dynamethod>  SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0xb3212a3f, pid=6392, tid=3021454224
[11:22] <dynamethod> what on earth does that mean ^^ lol
[11:22] <ben42> but i edited my xorg.conf (i had an older nvidia card) and now i have a dual monitor configuration with an ATI card

[11:23] <dynamethod> damn sorry :S
[11:23] <bazhang> dynamethod, this is jre or other
[11:23] <bazhang> dynamethod, do you have icedtea also?
[11:23] <dynamethod> im im not sure if i do, ill check now though
[11:23] <dynamethod>  dpkg -l '*icedtea*' | grep ^ii
[11:23] <dynamethod> No packages found matching *icedtea*.
[11:24] <ben42> you can see my xorg.conf here: http://bhaubeck.dyndns.org/wordpress/index.php/2006/07/06/xorgconf-mit-dual-display-modus-two-displays-one-big-screen/ comment 8 contains the last working version with two screens with different solutions
[11:24] <dynamethod> a bit stuck :S
[11:24] <noob-africa> hi all
[11:24] <raghu> hiiiiiii
[11:25] <raghu> friends
[11:25] <IndyGunFreak> dynamethod: dual screen w/ ATI is difficult at best, I never got it to work, ended up just buying an nvidia card, then it took 3min to setup
[11:25] <DJGummikuh> ben42: you're my hero of the day
[11:25] <dynamethod> i turned off the special affects via "appearance" but that only gets rid of the flickering within the java applet
[11:25] <lymeca> I'm trying to use gpg to generate a keypair, but I can't figure out where it saves the files.  I'm simply running gpg --gen-key and following the steps.  It seems to finish fine, but I can't find my key files!!
[11:25] <noob-africa> Question: I downloaded a movie on torrent, and it is asking for a codec... it says i have to go to the website www.divxmovienow.com to download the player... but there is a cost element. where can i get a DivX player for Ubuntu?
[11:25] <DJGummikuh> nvidia-settings did the job perfectly :D
[11:25] <ben42> DJGummikuh : test it first ;)
[11:25] <raghu> i want to know where do screenshots will save when we press print screen button
[11:25] <dynamethod> IndyGunFreak sorry i think you have the wrong person lol, i dont have dual screen
[11:25] <DJGummikuh> ben42: I did - it works :D
[11:26] <IndyGunFreak> dynamethod: oops

[11:26] <muntrue_> Hey all, so the refresh-rate issue is fixed. But now i want to enable compiz with some basic effects. Can anyone help me with that ?
[11:26] <dynamethod> i cant find a solution to this java problem though :S
[11:26] <noob-africa> !guidelines
[11:26] <muntrue_> Hey all, so the refresh-rate issue is fixed. But now i want to enable compiz with some basic effects. Can anyone help me with that ?
[11:26] <ben42> DJGummikuh this was working with 8.04: http://bhaubeck.dyndns.org/wordpress/index.php/2008/05/12/upgraded-to-ubuntu-804-this-weekend/
[11:26] <bullgard4> Does Evolution have a lockfile?
[11:27] <DJGummikuh> ben42: thanks :))
[11:28] <DJGummikuh> meh.. with the current setting, setting an ap to fullscreen strechtes it over both lcds...
[11:29] <muntrue_> Hey all, so the refresh-rate issue is fixed. But now i want to enable compiz with some basic effects. Can anyone help me with that ?
[11:30] <DistroJockey> muntrue_,  System - Preferences - Appearance - Visual Effects
[11:30] <muntrue_> DistroJockey, I know that, But the "Desktop effects can not be enabled"
[11:30] <DJGummikuh> ok another question.. what do I have to do to get those cool compiz effects to ubuntu? I searched the web but all I found were youtube videos showing me the effects ^
[11:31] <DistroJockey> muntrue_, then you need to fix your drivers/xorg.conf
[11:31] <DJGummikuh> nvm found it :P
[11:31] <ben42> DJGummikuh System -> Prferences  -> Apperance
[11:31] <DJGummikuh> ben42: yep found it ^
[11:31] <muntrue_> DistroJockey, Yea but im clueless as how to do that. I have an ATI card and somehow everyone is scared of those.
[11:31] <DJGummikuh> ^^
[11:31] <ben42> DJGummikuh: sorry
[11:32] <DJGummikuh> lol the last thing you need to do is apologize :P
[11:32] <ben42> DJGummikuh: ;)
[11:32] <DistroJockey> muntrue_, mine works fine with a default install of 8.04 and 8.04.1 using the default ATI xorg drivers
[11:32] <DJGummikuh> are the shortcuts somewhere to be found or set?
[11:33] <muntrue_> DistroJockey, Any idea how i can go about and configure it so mine will use the default ATI driver. Because i have a feeling its not using that
[11:33] <DJGummikuh> already found Windows+Tab ^^
[11:34] <DistroJockey> muntrue_, have you run the following?:  sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[11:34] <DistroJockey> muntrue_, backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf first
[11:34] <muntrue_> DistroJockey, Ive made a backup :) Could you help me trough VNC with that reconfigure. I have done it many times but never seem to get it right
[11:35] <linux-debian> # linuxac
[11:35] <DistroJockey> muntrue_, I suggest you try that command then restart your X server and report back
[11:35] <muntrue_> oke ill try
[11:36] <andare> hello ppl, i'm new to using linux i know a little here & a little there i was woundering how can i make my kde kubuntu run alot better?  my computer was made for win2000
[11:36] <RudyValencia> I'm trying to replace my desktop's 80GB hard disk that it has now with a 160GB HD, so I have enough room to install Ubuntu without having to downsize my Windows installation. What will I need to copy the Windows partition on the 80GB HD to the 160GB HD without breaking Windows (causing it to logout immediately at login)?
[11:36] <muntrue_> DistroJockey, Restarting X now
[11:36] <linux-debian> #linuxac
[11:37] <muntrue> DistroJockey, Ive restarted X but no luck
[11:38] <muntrue> DistroJockey, There is no mention of ATI whatso-ever in the Xorg.conf
[11:38] <alraune> RudyValencia: google hd copy, e.g.http://software-portal.faz.net/ie/24256/HDCopy
[11:38] <DistroJockey> muntrue, k, please run the following:   sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit
[11:39] <RudyValencia> Would dd work for copying the partition?
[11:39] <DJGummikuh> meh I'm totally out of the loop hwo do I increase the number of desktops in Gnome?
[11:39] <kcma2> ok i have tried to burn an iso using ubuntu twice and then once trying Brasero and nothing is being put on the disc after the app says that it is done, anyone have help topics or ideas?
[11:39] <DistroJockey> muntrue, paste the pastebin address please when done
[11:39] <muntrue> DistroJockey, http://pastebin.com/fc015c55

[11:48] <THZone> I don't know a whole lot about this stuff.. I need to install  libc6-dev and g++ remotely so i can install imspector onto a router machine.
[11:48] <DistroJockey> abchirk, somewhere from  /proc  probably

[11:48] <InfecteX> THZone you can
[11:48] <fretplayer> any one plz help
[11:49] <alraune> RudyValencia: got a sufficient answer ?
[11:49] <THZone> howso?
[11:49] <fretplayer> how to install limewire on ubuntu 8.04
[11:49] <DistroJockey> abchirk, might need to install  lmsensors
[11:49] <ph8> THZone:  man apt-get
[11:49] <askand> Hm, when I send files to trash they get there very fast, first when I empty the trash they are deleted. Am I right in assuming that the files are not really in trash but only seems to be and the original files is still on the same place but hidden? :S
[11:49] <ph8> apt-get update
[11:49] <DistroJockey> abchirk, or something like that. Plus have a CPU that supports that
[11:49] <abchirk> DistroJockey but how does gkrellm got it?
[11:50] <ph8> does gkrellm depend on sensors?
[11:50] <fretplayer> PLZ HELP how to install limewire on ubuntu 8.04
[11:50] <DistroJockey> abchirk, ohh, not sure sorry
[11:50] <RudyValencia> alraune: I'm going to make a copy of the partition, then I can fallback to the old drive if need be.
[11:50] <ph8> fretplayer:  Asking multiple times won't help evoke an answer
[11:50] <bazhang> !frostwire | fretplayer
[11:50] <muntrue> DistroJockey, Oke i restarted X but still.. No luck
[11:50] <THZone> I use "Untangle" on top of Ubuntu, it's not stock Ubuntu, apt-get sources have been changed to Untangle updates.
[11:51] <abchirk> ph8 I dont think so, because I haven't lmsensors installed but it shows me the cputemp
[11:51] <fretplayer> OK

[11:51] <bullgard4> Does Evolution have a lockfile?
[11:51] <alraune> rudyValencia  : from dos at win , c the old , d the new drive
[11:51] <ph8> bullgard4:  not sure, why do you ask?
[11:51] <DistroJockey> muntrue, so you have a decent display but just can't enable Visual Effects right?
[11:51] <alraune> rudyValencia  : dos = start>run...
[11:52] <muntrue> DistroJockey, Correct
[11:52] <porncake> does intrepid alpha2 include the new iwl4965 drivers?
[11:52] <RudyValencia> alraune: that only copies the files, not the stuff required to boot Windows
[11:52] <bazhang> porncake, #ubuntu+1
[11:52] <DistroJockey> muntrue, and the changes I suggested made no difference what so ever?
[11:52] <alraune> rudyValencia  : no, copies mbr and stuff too
[11:53] <muntrue> DistroJockey, Could be my imagination but it does look like it is running smoother
[11:53] <porncake> bazhang: thanks
[11:53] <THZone> nevermind, I'll just have to wait till someone from the untangle dev team can be contacted.
[11:53] <DJGummikuh> doesn't ubuntu 8.04 has this cube effect?
[11:53] <bazhang> np
[11:53] <muntrue> DistroJockey, Still have the occasional screen tearing
[11:53] <DistroJockey> muntrue, might be :)
[11:53] <bazhang> DJGummikuh, sure it does; get the 3d driver for your card and install ccsm
[11:53] <ph8> abchirk:  dpkg -s gkrellm
[11:54] <ph8> is libsm6 the sensors library?
[11:54] <DJGummikuh> bazhang: ccsm?
[11:54] <bazhang> !ccsm | DJGummikuh
[11:54] <ph8> oh no my bad, session management
[11:54] <DJGummikuh> bazhang: I already have the 3d driver and have some of the effects like super+tab
[11:54] <abchirk> hm could be ph8
[11:54] <ph8> abchirk:  no, it's a mystery!
[11:55] <DistroJockey> muntrue, out of ideas atm sorry
[11:55] <bazhang> DJGummikuh, then go into the manager and increase virtual horizontal desktops to 4 (under general settings)
[11:55] <abchirk> ph8 but how I could use this? I have no commands with sensors :)
[11:55] <muntrue> DistroJockey, When i hit compiz --replace it tells me Xgl not present
[11:55] <DJGummikuh> bazhang: thank you
[11:55] <bazhang> np
[11:55] <THZone> Nite
[11:55] <DJGummikuh> bazhang: btw: Ubuntu utterly rocks
[11:55] <DJGummikuh> I booted from cd and EVERYTHING worked out of the box, including my wireless, my dual screens, sound, everything
[11:55] <DJGummikuh> I am REALLY amazed
[11:55] <bazhang> nice
[11:56] <DJGummikuh> I gave my sister Ubuntu 6.0x (LTS) a few years back because she wanted to try something aside from windwos.. when I checked her laptop lately and asked her if she wants to get back to windows she told me she
[11:56] <DJGummikuh> 'd rather want the new ubuntu instead :D
[11:56] <InfecteX> What is that program where you copy scripts?
[11:56] <alraune> DJGummikuh : backup configuration files, if you plan to install permanently
[11:57] <snadge> ubuntu 6 sucks too ;)
[11:57] <DJGummikuh> alraune: hm?
[11:57] <DistroJockey> !paste | InfecteX
[11:57] <DJGummikuh> alraune: there was not much to backup.. she screwed her 6
[11:57] <DJGummikuh> I cleaned her hdd and installed from scratch
[11:57] <DJGummikuh> thanks to ubuntu 8 this took less than an hour and everything worked out of the box
[11:57] <DJGummikuh> this is pure luxury :D
