[12:01] <Seveas> dcnstrct, us.archive.ubuntu.com should work
[12:01] <dcnstrct> thnx Seveas
[12:01] <django_> harisund, ah well i didn't because this is my first ubuntu install ... so you can now do it nicely?
[12:01] <django_> harisund, but i've done many on fbsd
[12:01] <harisund> django_ personally I was using Breezy, and kept 'upgrading' to the dapper ever since dapper was on beta mode (not the alpha ones)
[12:01] <tamale> Is  SSH running as a server by default on a server install of dapper ?
[12:01] <django_> and know i couldn't do the same when i used linux
[12:01] <harisund> tamale no .. you will have to install it
[12:02] <userundefine> Cau1, you already have ntfs devices mounted.  "cd /media/sda1" or "cd /media/sda5"
[12:02] <harisund> tamale no server runs by defaul as in no ports are open by default on a server installation of dapper
[12:02] <dr_willis> django_,  I tend to keep /home on its own partition and just reinstall away. :P
[12:02] <Seveas> tamale, no (iirc)
[12:02] <django_> dr_willis, yeah
[12:02] <tamale> well what's the point of a server install then?  :P
[12:02] <tamale> j/k... i'll read an actual server install guide if there's a good one out there.
[12:02] <tamale> i just want the basics..  apache, php, mysql
[12:02] <django_> dr_willis, actually, most of the time i wouldn't put a machine into production if i only upgraded it, only reinstalled
[12:02] <harisund> dr_willis good idea .. I do that too ... but the problem is if I am switching distros while keeping my /home as it is, things get messy once a while :)
[12:02] <dr_willis> django_,  production? whats that.. :P
[12:03] <dr_willis> My ubuntu fileserver is still running warty i think.
[12:03] <django_> dr_willis, haha that sounds like my boss
[12:03] <harisund> tamale thnk of a server install as a base install ... you can install php mysql apache with a simple command, or install what is called the LAMP server option of Ubuntu
[12:03] <Seveas> tamale, help.ubuntu.com has a server guide
[12:03] <mwe> dr_willis: you don't need /home at a seperate partition to keep it if you reinstall though
[12:03] <Cau1> is there a maximum i can mount than?
[12:04] <django_> i still have to laugh at the guy who came in and kept asking what the best server program was
[12:04] <userundefine> Cau1, no
[12:04] <Seveas> django_, so which one was the best?
[12:04] <Cau1> well there should be more
[12:04] <harisund> dr_willis true .. that explains the hesitation of server system-admins to reinstall or upgrade.. anything breaks it is such a hassle to get everything back the exact way you configured it .
[12:04] <django_> Seveas, i never really got to the bottom of it
[12:04] <django_> Seveas, but someone else suggested grep lol
[12:04] <harisund> grep :D ..hahaha.. so what does grep server?
[12:05] <harisund> s/server/serve ..
[12:05] <django_> yeah haha
[12:05] <Shrew> Does anyone know if the Belkin 54g PCI card works with Ubuntu?
[12:05] <tamale> thanks everyone, i'll stop asking questions which most likely have simple answers in guides :]
[12:05] <joe238> Hello, I am running Ubuntu from a disc because I am unable to login to the Ubuntu I have installed on my harddrive.  I keep receiving "Login Failed" messages when I attempt to login.  Is anyone familiar with this problem?
[12:05] <mwe> Shrew: is there a linux driver for it?
[12:05] <Seveas> django_, netcat -l would be my choice
[12:05] <harisund> joe238: How are you attempting to login?
[12:05] <harisund> joe238: perhaps you are entering a wrong password?
[12:05] <django_> yeah netcat, network swiss army knife
[12:05] <kern_malloc> joe238: didn't you set your password during the install?
[12:05] <Shrew> mwe: There's not a linux driver, but there are guides as to how to use ndiswrapper to convert it in other OSs...
[12:05] <harisund> django_ netcat is pretty awesome on Win XP as well ..
[12:06] <django_> but could i send the guy away hunting netcat?
[12:06] <Zambezi> Seveas, First: http://seveas.theplayboymansion.net/seveas/pool/dapper-seveas/custom/gftp-common_2.0.18-11ubuntu1seveas1_i386.deb Then: sudo dpkg -i gftp-{common,text}_2.0.18-11ubuntu1sevas1_i386.deb ? I don't have X. So I don't need the grafic interface.
[12:06] <mwe> Shrew: yes
[12:06] <django_> harisund, heh windows only gets booted for games
[12:06] <joe238> I did and I have been running Ubuntu for months but just now it won't let me login
[12:06] <Zambezi> Seveas, wget then adress.
[12:06] <yuheng108> does anyone know why even with i915resolution, you can't get more than 1280*800 resolution?
[12:06] <dr_willis> joe238,  what was the name of the user you created during the install?
[12:06] <mwe> Shrew: did you install ndiswrapper and the suggested windows driver within it then?
[12:06] <Shrew> mwe: Oh, excellent! Does the ubuntu contain the latest version of ndiswrapper?
[12:06] <Seveas> Zambezi, or add the repository to /etc/apt/sources.list and use apt-get to install it
[12:06] <dr_willis> joe238,  you aint trying to login as root are you?
[12:06] <kern_malloc> yuheng108: what card do you have?  I use i915resolution with intel915 and i get 1400x1200 or whatever it is
[12:06] <vinicri> thank u all
[12:06] <mwe> Shrew: a late one at least
[12:07] <vinicri> i'm leaving
[12:07] <Shrew> Excellent, thanks very much!
[12:07] <mwe> Shrew: I don't know if it's _the_ latest. but pretty recent at least
[12:07] <joe238> My login is simply joe and I have logged in countless times under that username with the same password
[12:07] <vinicri> exit
[12:07] <Seveas> joe238, check your caps lock...
[12:07] <dr_willis> joe238,  so it only recently quit working?
[12:07] <Cau1> userundefine: any ideas?
[12:07] <yuheng108> kern_malloc IMA 900
[12:07] <joe238> Yes, and my caps lock isn't on
[12:08] <kern_malloc> yuheng108: not sure about that card.
[12:08] <yuheng108> kern_malloc, how do you config it? cause I just install i915resolution, and it only give me 1280*800
[12:08] <userundefine> Cau1, ideas about what?  You can see from your fstab that there are ntfs drives mounted, and you see where they're mounted.  There isn't a limit on the number of partitions you can mount
[12:08] <django_> joe238, hmm well when you get back in i'd audit that sucker
[12:08] <kern_malloc> yuheng108: you configure it to replace a video setting... like replace 1200x800 with 1600x1400 or whatever.   it's different for every card.
[12:08] <harisund> any idea why Ubuntu uses Samba while a couple of other distros (including Fedora) use cifs instead?
[12:09] <kern_malloc> yuheng108: i suggest google your card + i915resolution
[12:09] <django_> can't the single user mode trick be used to get into ubuntu?
[12:09] <joe238> Well the problem I'm trying to solve is how to get back on.
[12:09] <timas> hey peoples!  anyone here able to help me figure out why cdrecord isn't allowed to open my cdr device?
[12:09] <kern_malloc> harisund: you can install cifs if you want
[12:09] <harisund> kern_malloc: really? hmmm.. I didn't think of that .. ok will have a look at it ..
[12:09] <joe238> One unusual thing that happened was something popped up that looked like it said that a particular program had failed but before I could read more it went away and returned me to the login screen.
[12:09] <kern_malloc> apt-get cifs probably :)
[12:10] <harisund> joe238 when you reboot, you have an option of entering a single user mode, where you will be thrown at a root terminal
[12:10] <timas> !k3
[12:10] <ubotu> I know nothing about k3 - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:10] <timas> !k3b
[12:10] <ubotu> k3b is a feature-rich and user-friendly burning application for KDE (and, as all KDE applications, works fine on GNOME). For a guide, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/K3BHowto
[12:10] <joe238> Console Login, correct?
[12:10] <django_> yeah baby
[12:10] <django_> and feel the power
[12:11] <harisund> actually kern_malloc, I didn't realize... cifs comes with samba client package... it comes with both smbfs and cifs .. hmm.. neat..
[12:11] <sally2> has anyone tried using kismet with ubuntu and an orinoco card?
[12:11] <django_> no X, no gtk, just you and the bits
[12:11] <libuntu> zenit: how could i get out, how much ram the gfx card has?
[12:11] <kern_malloc> harisund: ah ok right on
[12:12] <django_> kern_malloc is a really distracting name for me
[12:12] <Gixbit> is there an msn package with ubuntu?
[12:12] <django_> Gixbit, amsn?
[12:12] <Gixbit> that works with 64bit
[12:12] <Gixbit> =)
[12:12] <joe238> But when I get to the root terminal, then what do I do?
[12:12] <django_> joe238, change the users password
[12:12] <harisund> joe238 you could create a user, or you could change the password of the default user.
[12:12] <mwe> what package provides just a basic working Xorg environment including startx and such?
[12:13] <kern_malloc> django_: life's a bitch XD
[12:13] <bina> Hi, I'm trying to get rid of kwallet but apt-get is trying to remove both that and kubuntu-desktop when I so apt-get remove kwalletmanager  Will this get rid of all of KDE?
[12:13] <dr_willis> passwd joe
[12:13] <timas> Gixbit: doesn't Gaim work with 64b?
[12:13] <Seveas> mwe, x-window-system-core
[12:13] <dr_willis> bina,  no it will not.
[12:13] <mwe> Seveas: thank
[12:13] <Gixbit> i think
[12:13] <kung> gn8
[12:13] <dr_willis> bina,  but why bother getting rid of it?
[12:13] <harisund> bina, kubuntu_desktop is a meta package. technically you should be allright without that package..
[12:13] <zenit> libuntu: Hmm.. I guess you could check in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, but that's only what X detects. Maybe lspci -v will give you a hint?
[12:13] <timas> bina: kubuntu-desktop is just a meta package
[12:13] <joe238> But is what you're talking about the Console Login?
[12:13] <django_> kern_malloc, i still respect you
[12:13] <harisund> bina but you will be better off with it. .. since some upgrades could break for example without ubuntu_desktop
[12:13] <arto> !codec
[12:13] <ubotu> I know nothing about codec - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:13] <kern_malloc> will you in the morning?
[12:13] <django_> joe238, it is at a console, but you boot into single user mode
[12:13] <arto> !codecs

[12:14] <bina> dr_willis harisund timas: good thanks
[12:14] <bina> harisund, oh right, ill cancel that then :)
[12:14] <mwe> Seveas: does it include twm or something like that?
[12:14] <harisund> bina, if you look at, for example, the instructions to upgrade from Breezy to Dapper, it says you better ensure ubuntu-desktop package is present
[12:14] <aStRaLgOd> Damn.... xatitv asks for the PCI address of my ATi All in wonder card now >.<
[12:14] <aStRaLgOd> ima keep searching....
[12:14] <timas> durnit.. no-one here able to assist me in figuring out k3b's frustrating issues with my cd burner? I have to sudo before it can burn and I tried setting the cdwriter device with 777 permissions
[12:14] <Seveas> mwe, no
[12:14] <dr_willis> aStRaLgOd,  lspci may tell that info
[12:14] <bina> dr_willis, I dont like KMail constantly asking me for the kwallet password.  The reason I save the passwords in the first place is so i dont have to keep typing them :)
[12:15] <mwe> Seveas: so no windowmanager?
[12:15] <django_> joe238, by doing that , you bypass the login and get a root console
[12:15] <rcmiv> my gdm login resolution is too high...xorg.conf is 1024x768 at all depths?
[12:15] <Seveas> mwe, none at all
[12:15] <mwe> Seveas: ok
[12:15] <aStRaLgOd> dr_willis thanks
[12:15] <skeff> is there a good reason why my Ubuntu believes I am australian? I'm in norway, I am using a norwegian keyboard and all my strange letters work fine, but for some reason the default locale is set to australian english, and ubuntu downloads from australian mirrors..?
[12:15] <bina> harisund: oh right I see.  I'll just see if i can disable kwallet without removing it.  thanks
[12:15] <django_> timas, is the config looking for a symlink to the cd?
[12:15] <mwe> Seveas: but installing x-window-sytem-core and fluxbox would be enough for running fluxbox?
[12:16] <joe238> Ok I'll give it a shot, Thank you very much.
[12:16] <Seveas> skeff, I bet you were standing on your head during install, that confuses the installed
[12:16] <Seveas> mwe, correct
[12:16] <harisund> bina yes, you should be able to do htat..
[12:16] <arto> !w32codecs

[12:16] <mwe> great
[12:16] <Seveas> skeff, but actually this is a bug in the installer
[12:16] <django_> skeff, hmm and it doesn't believe i'm an australian though i've told it
[12:16] <dr_willis> mwe,  but what apps ya going to run - if you dont have any others installed. :P
[12:16] <django_> ah, answered
[12:16] <sally2> what directory is the kernel located in?
[12:16] <timas> django_: Its looking for both "cdrom" which is a symlink and for sg1, which is the dev itself?
[12:16] <skeff> django_, my problem is a bug, your is a feature
[12:17] <bina> harisund: wow that was easy.  Just an option in kwallet :)  Dont know why I didnt try that initally
[12:17] <Gixbit> when i install Kubuntu and it says use the largest continuous free space does that mean unallocated space?
[12:17] <harisund> bina .. hehe .. I am not a KDE user, so I have no idea :)
[12:17] <django_> heh
[12:17] <dr_willis> Gixbit,  you got a section of the hd thats unallocated?
[12:17] <mwe> dr_willis: I'll install things along the way
[12:17] <Gixbit> yes
[12:17] <Zambezi> Seveas, When I tried that on another computer (with the other guys repos) it installed the one from Dappers repos.
[12:17] <django_> timas, and they symlink has perms that it keeps through reboot?
[12:18] <Gixbit> dr_willis: /dev/sda/
[12:18] <dr_willis> Gixbit,  i think thats what its saying. :)  I normally let it use a whole hd. :)
[12:18] <Gixbit> dr_willis: i did before yea
[12:18] <nikin_> yup it is that
[12:18] <Gixbit> dr_willis: i use 2 o/s
[12:18] <Gixbit> dr_willis: linux/winxp
[12:18] <timas> django: For as far as I can see, ayup.. even if I reset them now and rerun k3b it wont work.. only when I sudo
[12:18] <dr_willis> Gixbit,  i do also.. i keep each on its own hd.
[12:19] <Gixbit> dr_willis: i cut my xp partition and made it unallocated
[12:19] <dr_willis> Gixbit,  ya should be good to go then.
[12:19] <django_> timas, well it has to be permissions somewhere, obviously
[12:19] <Gixbit> dr_willis: great
[12:19] <Gixbit> dr_willis: will it install grub too?
[12:19] <timas> django_: Yeah.. the question is where exactly! :)
[12:19] <django_> timas, haha yeah
[12:19] <dr_willis> Gixbit,  yes it should.
[12:20] <django_> timas, um, in cdrecord maybe?
[12:20] <Gixbit> dr_willis: good
[12:20] <tamale> django:  Fluxbox and openssh server are working fine.  I installed tightvnc and started the server, but can't connect to it from another machine.. i'm getting "connection refused".   I'm using the standard  "RealVNC" viewer.   any ideas?
[12:20] <Gixbit> jk_: i just want you to know i'm installing kubuntu
[12:20] <django_> timas, i think you were using the kde front end that uses cdrecord
[12:20] <django_> k3b or something
[12:20] <dr_willis> tamale,  you ran the  command 'vncserver' ?
[12:20] <Gixbit> jk_: through the x windows interface
[12:20] <timas> django_: lessee.. I can use that nifty k3bsetup2 thing that comes with k3b that sets up all my permissions.. it ayes and says its happy.. and still wont work
[12:21] <tamale> dr_willis:   Yes
[12:21] <timas> yeah, kubuntu user, so kde/k3b
[12:21] <tamale> and it asked me for a password
[12:21] <dr_willis> tamale,  it said vnc server running on whatevername:1   (or similer?)
[12:21] <django_> tamale,  does netstat show vnc running and the port?
[12:21] <nikin_> does someone know an edior for linux, like EDIT was in DOS?
[12:21] <tamale> yes, yes
[12:21] <arto> I can't find the w32codecs anywhere, but I need to install wmv codecs. Anyone please?
[12:21] <dr_willis> tamale,  so 'ps' shows vncserver running eh?
[12:21] <Olathe> pico is sort of like it.
[12:21] <harisund> nikin_ you could use nano
[12:21] <tamale> yes
[12:22] <django_> tamale, can you connect locally?
[12:22] <dr_willis> tamale,  interesting..
[12:22] <stefg> !easysource > arto
[12:22] <tamale> rtt
[12:22] <tamale> err
[12:22] <django_> tamale, and is it firewalled? have to ask
[12:22] <tamale> netstat shows .X11 several times
[12:22] <dr_willis> vncviewer localhost
[12:22] <tamale> i see no explicit listing of vnc
[12:22] <django_> tamale,  see if you can connect from the same box
[12:22] <arto> stefg: sorry, that doesn't help. I already added the sources.list, it's not in any of them.
[12:22] <tamale> to vnc ?
[12:22] <django_> yes
[12:22] <timas> arto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats#w32codecs
[12:22] <coreyt> Anyone know if there's a problem with archive.ubuntu.org ?  BUMPS keeps failing on it.
[12:23] <django_> that eliminates the firewall/network
[12:23] <dr_willis> its Possible that vncserver is starting and exiting  - because you dont have a  .vnc/xstartup script or its there but spawning a invalid window manager
[12:23] <mwe> !w32codecs > arto
[12:23] <nikin_> ok, thanx, nano is fine :D
[12:23] <arto> timas: The link provided there is not working.
[12:23] <stefg> !seveas > arto
[12:23] <nikin_> is it inclooded on the LiveCD?
[12:23] <tamale> django:  I would need a vnc client on it then?
[12:23] <django_> dr_willis, right, i thought he said it was showing up in ps and netstat
[12:23] <harisund> nikin_ yes it is
[12:23] <arto> mwe stefg: Please understand me.. the links are not working, the packages of w32codecs IS NOT there!
[12:23] <django_> tamale, yeah
[12:23] <tamale> I'm confused how i could connect "locally"  over vnc
[12:23] <timas> arto: ohh
[12:23] <libuntu> zenit: thx lspci -v worked. G450 with 32 mb ram
[12:23] <harisund> tamale what?
[12:23] <mwe> arto: it was 2 day ago though
[12:23] <Gixbit> does anybody know if the xorg fglrx is the best driver for ati cards or if there is a better one?
[12:23] <coreyt> sorry meant .com
[12:24] <django_> tamale, well, all it is is a server and client
[12:24] <timas> arto: I get it now, I thought that link I just gave you didn't work.. okey, lessee..
[12:24] <dr_willis> arto,  i always get the w32codecs from the mplayer homepage. they seem to be more up to date
[12:24] <timas> well someone made a typo
[12:24] <libuntu> zenit: but i couldn't find a information, if the ramdac of one chip is smaller
[12:24] <timas> arto: Check that wget -c thing they put in there..
[12:24] <arto> dr_willis: Is there a deb package there?
[12:24] <timas> arto: They did "hhttp:"
[12:24] <tamale> django:  Can i talk to you in private?
[12:24] <django_> tamale only if it's not erotic
[12:24] <timas> arto: remove the first H, make it "http:"
[12:24] <dr_willis> arto yes
[12:24] <tamale> django:  I can't guarantee anything  ;)
[12:24] <arto> timas: umm.. I will try that.
[12:24] <mwe> arto: some new wmv files don't work even when you install the codecs though
[12:25] <django_> ok, let's go
[12:25] <fourat> how to change the default system charset ? dpkg-reconfigure locales <does not ask for the default locale
[12:25] <stefg> arto, if you regenerate your sources.list with source-o-matic, include seveas' packs, cipherfunk and all, then sudo apt-get update then it will be there, believe me
[12:25] <aStRaLgOd> meh I think ill give up my card will never work in linux
[12:25] <Gixbit> astralgod: which card?
[12:25] <timas> aStRaLgOd: sorry, which card?
[12:25] <aStRaLgOd> gixbit: Ati Radeon 9600 pro AiW
[12:25] <arto> stefg: My previous attempt to generate did not work on the "extra" packages, only the main ones worked. They gave 404 errors, broken.
[12:25] <mwe> fourat: do you mean the keyboard layout?
[12:26] <tamale> django_:   I've had problems in the past with private messaging.. can we just go into ubuntu-offtopic  ?
[12:26] <bigbill52a> are the ubuntu servers slow today?
[12:26] <django_> tamale, i'm in a query with you
[12:26] <django_> tamale ok
[12:26] <nikin_> bigbill. yup
[12:26] <Gixbit> astralgod: join the club ati cards are horrible on linux 90% of the time
[12:26] <aStRaLgOd> <.< well the graphic part of it works
[12:26] <aStRaLgOd> but not the TV part of it
[12:26] <timas> aStRaLgOd: Did you look at the ubuntu forums?  Else as that, I dunno.. I'm not an Ati user at all
[12:26] <fourat> mwe, locale charset say UTF8, i would like to get ISO8858-1
[12:26] <arto> Anyway, whoever who proposed the hhttp -h thing..  Ubuntu forums, mandrake forums, fedora forums, irc channels, google, dev mailing lists, Spanish mailing lists...
[12:27] <mikeo1> how can i see exactly what is using my bandwith
[12:27] <arto> timas: Please edit that link there if you can.
[12:27] <mwe> fourat: oh. why though? everything is optimized for unicode. /etc/environment
[12:27] <timas> aStRaLgOd: okey.. so you've been sorta busy with it! Sorry.. my last attempt at anything with tv on linux was with my previous machine and that was a nv card
[12:28] <mwe> fourat: make sure you have the locale compiled on your system or it wont work though
[12:28] <zenit> libuntu: oki, I could be wrong. I'm not sure how active the murc community is anymore (murc.ws), but I guess it should be possible to find some information there.
[12:28] <aStRaLgOd> timas: lol it's ok... :)
[12:29] <davegoodson> Hi, when i play video, the sound is slow, how do i fix this?
[12:29] <coreyt> Anyone know of a utility that would let you save a webpage as a pdf like you can on mac's?
[12:29] <timas> murf. k3b remains annoying.. last week it was xine, funily enough those errors were fixed after a reboot
[12:29] <nikin_> davedogs: dont use mplayer
[12:29] <nikin_> :D
[12:29] <timas> coreyt: print the page
[12:30] <Gixbit> just a quick question, when i run live cd while i'm installing ubuntu any changes i made as live cd are permanent with the installed version or?
[12:30] <aStRaLgOd> mmmm aiite, another kernel update, gotta remake my /boot/grub/menu.lst.... lol
[12:30] <libuntu> zenit: thx for your help, because since one hour i think the same, that the gfx card couldn't manage it, i tried all thinks which are possible
[12:30] <aStRaLgOd> Gotta find my Windows Boot thingies again
[12:30] <timas> coreyt: I do believe your installation came with a pre-installed pdf printer, although I could be wrong
[12:30] <ba5e> Gixbit: no
[12:30] <Gixbit> ba5e: i gotta reinstall everything again?
[12:30] <dr_willis> Gixbit,  any changes you make to the  mounted parttions will be.. but  not 'any' live cd change/settings changes
[12:30] <nikin_> corey: theres is a PDF output virtual printig stuff for cups
[12:30] <nikin_> dont know more, never used it
[12:30] <mwe> aStRaLgOd: it shouldn't overwrite your settings of you put it out of the automatic section
[12:30] <fiction> hellooo
[12:31] <coreyt> ah, I remember now..
[12:31] <coreyt> thanks
[12:31] <ba5e> Gixbit: thats half the fun!
[12:31] <aStRaLgOd> mwe: Yeah it does overwrite my Windows section everytime lol
[12:31] <aStRaLgOd> I always have to edit my menu.lst with gedit
[12:31] <mwe> aStRaLgOd: not if you put it out of the automatic section
[12:31] <davegoodson> With movie player, If i put it into stereo, the sound is slow, and if i put it into 5.1 speakers it then says something else is using sound or something
[12:31] <Seveas> aStRaLgOd, then move thw wondows section OUTSIDE the DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNEL LIST
[12:32] <Gixbit> ba5e: i can only immagine how fun this is going to BE@!
[12:32] <aStRaLgOd> oh ok
[12:32] <aStRaLgOd> Thanks lol
[12:32] <Gixbit> ba5e: i've done fedora 1-3, suse and slackware and debian...
[12:32] <saxin> My rhythmbox-player crashes when I start it. Can I delete some config files to fix this? Any suggestions would be nice :-)
[12:32] <mwe> aStRaLgOd:
[12:32] <nikin_> davegods: i had that with some badly written DVD-s to but not with original ones
[12:32] <Gixbit> ba5e: lets try ubuntu see if that's more fun...

[12:35] <johnny> which did work.. until cups upgrade
[12:36] <fiction> mwe: thank you
[12:36] <timas> Gixbit: not if the installer finishes all the way through
[12:36] <nikin_> johhny: what kind of printer?
[12:36] <mwe> fiction: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start to restart it
[12:36] <aStRaLgOd> lawl
[12:36] <mcphail> mwe: too late...
[12:36] <aStRaLgOd> that must be frustrating
[12:37] <nikin_> what hapened
[12:37] <nikin_> ?
[12:37] <mwe> mcphail: yeah. I guess I should have told him in the same sentence
[12:37] <mcphail> ;)
[12:37] <aStRaLgOd> mwe: You'll learn next time.... but now I regretfully have to cut your pay in half....
[12:38] <Gixbit> why does it give me a error loading opperating system? i installed kubuntu through the live cd
[12:38] <timas> Gixbit: what kind of error?
[12:38] <mwe> aStRaLgOd: yeah
[12:38] <aStRaLgOd> Now, next step. Find out if Final Fantasy XI works in Linux.
[12:39] <rcmiv> i thought changing the gdm login screen resolution would be easy...it's not!
[12:39] <nikin_> astral: you are evil
[12:39] <mikeo1> how do i tell what program is using all my bandwith?
[12:39] <rcmiv> it's like, completely difficult

[12:39] <aStRaLgOd> nikin_, : y?
[12:39] <Gixbit> timas: it says this "Error loading operating system"
[12:39] <Ignite> are the repos playing up? first the gb repos were down, now the fr ones are going slow as hell
[12:39] <Gixbit> timas: do i need to set something as active or something?
[12:40] <timas> Gixbit thats not a whole lot of info.. when does it say that? does it time out in the splash boot? or does it start booting and suddenly stop? or or ?
[12:40] <mcphail> Ignite: it is a PITA this evening, isn't it?
[12:40] <nikin_> astralgod: yup... installing FFXI on Linux.. hmm its just sounds so... cant explain... evil ;)

[12:42] <Gixbit> timas: when i load the cd and try to boot from local disk it says's error loading operating system.
[12:42] <peace-keeper> i just installed ubuntu, what's my root password? :D
[12:42] <fiction> mwe: thank you!
[12:42] <timas> Gixbit: do you know what kind of drive you've got? A SATA drive perhaps?

[12:43] <mwe> nikin_: yes
[12:43] <unmannedleech> there is no root password your account is essentially root when you do a sudo
[12:43] <fiction> there is none
[12:43] <richiefrich> mikeo1 i dont know perminant but u can use..  -->  date MMDDHHMMYYY
[12:43] <Gixbit> timas: which is the same hdd as windows as well
[12:43] <h3x0r> hahaha yggdrasil
[12:43] <h3x0r> i set that up back in the day
[12:43] <peace-keeper> wtf no root password?
[12:43] <peace-keeper> lol
[12:43] <h3x0r> mitslowmi 1x cdrom
[12:43] <fiction> lol
[12:43] <unmannedleech> lol no you can enable it tho
[12:43] <aStRaLgOd> mve: Show me you deserve it first.
[12:44] <fiction> how do you enable root?
[12:44] <fiction> i went to the user management thing
[12:44] <richiefrich> mikeo1 date MMDDHHMMYYY   <-- those are numbers -->  date month day hour minute year
[12:44] <fiction> i tried changing rootpassword and it wouldnt let me
[12:44] <h3x0r> i miss kernel 0.99.  sort of
[12:44] <fiction> lol
[12:44] <libuntu> zenit: sorry for disturbing you but i found this http://www.matrox.com/graphics/pid/products/mill_gseries/g450.cfm
[12:44] <fiction> hi. asl?
[12:44] <arto> I am sorry to say, I installed w32codecs but they don't work on Totem or Mplayer!
[12:44] <unmannedleech> go to users and click show all users or something like that then add your root password then you can use su
[12:44] <fiction> just kidddding
[12:44] <libuntu> zenit: you are using two screens? could i paste you my xorg.conf?
[12:44] <Gixbit> timas: do you know what's wrong with it?
[12:44] <kern_malloc> h3x0r: yup i remember yggrdrasil... and SLS (which became slackware)
[12:44] <timas> Gixbit: I've been having /a lot/ of trouble with my SATA drive in Linux.. I'm runing the 19 version of the kernel where Dapper is currently in its 26th stage.. that 19 kernel seems to be the only one that works for me.. your issue might be somewhat of the same.. If the kernel you installed fails to load the proper driver for that SATA drive/controller
[12:45] <h3x0r> yea i mostly used sls
[12:45] <moreati> fiction: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions#head-a93fe09558d05b95a3b68200c629ec1cf3a70d7f
[12:45] <fiction> wasnt sls fast?
[12:45] <fiction> moreati: thanks!
[12:45] <richiefrich> mikeo1 then u can install  apt-get ntp-client
[12:45] <Gixbit> timas: well i don't know this is a fresh installation
[12:45] <neutrinomass> timas: If you have narrowed it down to a kernel version, then file a bug report - it will be fixed quickly
[12:45] <roby> Does the package system follow that of Debian? i.e. Does Drake continue to get updated with the latest packages or is it run like Debian's sarge?
[12:45] <timas> neutrinomass: It's kind of simple.. I can use anything pre -20
[12:46] <nikin> back :D
[12:46] <Gixbit> timas: i havent installed anything but what's on the disk
[12:46] <arto> I am sorry to say, I installed w32codecs but they don't work on Totem or Mplayer!
[12:46] <Gixbit> timas: and i dont have any boot disks
[12:46] <h3x0r> it was so funny
[12:46] <h3x0r> i downloaded slackware from a BBS
[12:46] <kern_malloc> haha
[12:46] <h3x0r> it was like 40 floppies
[12:46] <nikin> arto: xine?
[12:46] <h3x0r> took like 3 weeks
[12:46] <timas> Gixbit: Does Grub give any messages? Like "press esc to select from a list" or somesuch?
[12:46] <arto> nikin: I should use xine you mean?
[12:46] <unmannedleech> sure they do i haven't had a problem
[12:46] <h3x0r> there was one disk that was corrupted and i was pissed
[12:46] <bigbill52a> why does k3b run so much faster than nero....dqotd?
[12:46] <peace-keeper> this works :D "sudo su"
[12:46] <Gixbit> timas: there is no grub
[12:46] <zenit> libuntu: sorry, I don't use two screens for the moment.  Widget Engine like program for Linux?
[12:47] <h3x0r> yeah i was 13
[12:47] <roby> I guess what I should ask is, does Drake continually get updated with the latest packages or are those packages only available in edgy?
[12:47] <timas> Gixbit: I think it did, but its only visable for a few seconds.. does it give a mesage about loading this or that linux image?
[12:47] <h3x0r> So this guys like Oh you mean slackware? I uploaded that to $BBS
[12:47] <h3x0r> haha the guy that worked at best buy knew what linux was
[12:47] <peace-keeper> can i read a winxp partition with ubuntu ?
[12:47] <neutrinomass> timas: File a bug report ;) The kernel devs will probably fix it quickly ..
[12:48] <h3x0r> so i told him one of the X windows disks was fucked so he reuploaded it
[12:48] <neutrinomass> peace-keeper: Yes...
[12:48] <timas> neutrinomass: where at? :)
[12:48] <AndyCooll> roby: Latest packages are on Edgy
[12:48] <nikin> A 3 Button Mouse is usefull for : Wings3D, blender, Lightspeed.. etc
[12:48] <Gixbit> timas: it doesnt say anything about vmlinuz or anything
[12:48] <h3x0r> eternal: pretty much
[12:48] <dravas> Is there like a Yahoo! Widget Engine like program for Linux?
[12:48] <Gixbit> timas: no unfortunatly...
[12:48] <h3x0r> except not red hair...
[12:48] <neutrinomass> timas: http://launchpad.net/+distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+filebug I think ...
[12:48] <roby> AndyCooll: do they sorta get passed down to Drake when they become stable?
[12:48] <timas> Thanks neutrinomass
[12:49] <h3x0r> I used IRIX at work back in 94
[12:49] <neutrinomass> timas: Actually it's http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+souce/linux-source-2.6.15/+filebug
[12:49] <timas> Gixbit: I'm sorta running out of options.. which version did you download/install? when did you download it?
[12:49] <AndyCooll> roby: Not necessarily. Usually only if there are significant security or bugfix reasons
[12:49] <kern_malloc> I still use IRIX unfortunately
[12:49] <Gixbit> timas: kubuntu 6.06
[12:49] <roby> AndyCooll: i see, thank you very much
[12:49] <Gixbit> timas: yesterday
[12:49] <neutrinomass> timas: After filing, watch your mail though - developers are bound to ask questions ...
[12:49] <kern_malloc> IRIX, AIX, and HP-UX... i use em daily and hate em
[12:50] <h3x0r> ew AIX
[12:50] <h3x0r> ewwww HP-SUX
[12:50] <timas> Gixbit: Then you've probably got the -26 kernel..
[12:50] <h3x0r> HP-SUX Is the worst
[12:50] <h3x0r> is it even y2k compliant?!
[12:50] <NemesisUK> does anyone the defferences with bash and dash?
[12:50] <kern_malloc> yah :)
[12:50] <Gixbit> timas: i guess
[12:50] <kern_malloc> UNIX was never really a y2k issue
[12:50] <h3x0r> dude i got some systems that run on ultrix
[12:50] <Gixbit> timas: i'm gonna use a windows boot disk and run the fdisk
[12:50] <h3x0r> and we cant upgrade them coz it would break the software
[12:50] <h3x0r> and it aint y2k compliant
[12:50] <Gixbit> timas: see what's going on
[12:50] <h3x0r> so i set it back to 1990
[12:51] <timas> Gixbit: I'd try and see if you can find a flight 5 iso of Kubuntu
[12:51] <h3x0r> piece of crap
[12:51] <timas> You're running XP?
[12:51] <gnomefreak> h3x0r: join #ubuntu-offtopic to continue that convo
[12:51] <h3x0r> sorry :P
[12:51] <Gixbit> timas: dual boot
[12:51] <Gixbit> timas: or trying...
[12:51] <AndyCooll> roby: For instance, you'll get the Firefox security update versions, but Firefox 2.0 will probably only become available in Edgy. Unless the Backport team decide to issue an update for Dapper
[12:51] <mistform> can anyone here help me with network manager?
[12:51] <Gixbit> timas: i've got to say i've never saw a harder version of linux to install without trouble
[12:52] <timas> no need for Fdisk, right click on your my computer icon, pick 'manage' select the drive manager or somesuch.. click around till you find it.. it can give you all the info you need I think
[12:52] <Gixbit> timas: not even slackware is this bad...
[12:52] <Gixbit> timas: i cant get into windows or linux
[12:52] <timas> Gixbit: oh.. I hadn't gathered that yet
[12:52] <roby> AndyCooll: mmmm... gotcha
[12:52] <Gixbit> timas: there doesnt seem to be a BOOT partition
[12:53] <timas> Gixbit: fdisk, see whats going on.. maybe trash all the partitions, there's a change your boot sectors got pooped
[12:53] <Gixbit> timas: only a swap and the ext3
[12:53] <knoppix_> hey need help

[12:54] <knoppix_> how do i configure the connection for cabel?
[12:54] <unmannedleech> yo

[12:55] <knoppix_> what do i do to configure cable internet connection
[12:55] <knoppix_> wire
[12:56] <timas> I think, but its a guess, that installer fubared on redoing your boot sectors..
[12:56] <bashi> gibts hier auch jmd der deutsch kann?
[12:56] <cavediver> is there a kernel-dev channel ?

[12:57] <nikin> ompaul, sry
[12:57] <Gixbit> timas: not even slackware is this retarded
[12:57] <knoppix_> pls help
[12:57] <bashi> ubuntu-de is invite only
[12:57] <timas> Gixbit: Try running the installer again
[12:57] <DarkAudit> knoppix_: you should be able to hook it up to your eth0, log into the modem, and configure that according to your ISP's specs
[12:57] <timas> Gixbit: manually set up the drive
[12:58] <ompaul> bashi, I just joined it
[12:58] <knoppix_> they dont support linux
[12:58] <ompaul> but then I am me
[12:58] <timas> Gixbit: set the first partition on your drive to be bootable
[12:58] <Gixbit> timas: that requires me to load up fglrx on the live cd again...
[12:58] <knoppix_> they r dumb
[12:58] <gnomefreak> so did i
[12:58] <DarkAudit> knoppix_: that's why I asked if you ran dual boot ;)
[12:58] <gnomefreak> ompaul: its not invite
[12:58] <knoppix_> no
[12:58] <knoppix_> just ubuntu
[12:58] <DarkAudit> knoppix_: tell them you need to do a 'manual setup'
[12:58] <Gixbit> timas: i think i like the throw my computer out the window and crack ubuntu in half alot better...
[12:59] <timas> Gixbit: It's the only solution I've got.. sorry! I'm in no way a guru, just trying to help ;)
[12:59] <knoppix_> they dont even know what linux is
[12:59] <timas> Gixbit: Gimie your adres first, I'll come catch it and bring it home with me!
[12:59] <knoppix_> i m telling u
[12:59] <GottferDamnt> Hi!
[12:59] <Gixbit> timas: i'm just joking just uber po'd
[12:59] <Gixbit> timas: i've been at this for a day now?
[12:59] <knoppix_> isnt there a command  like the pppoeconfig just for cable modems?
[12:59] <Gixbit> timas: and slackware took me 30 minutes to get moving
[01:00] <GottferDamnt> Can someone help me? I try to watch some .mov video with mplayer into firefox... I have sound but not screen vid :/
[01:00] <DarkAudit> knoppix_: with the cable modem configured, Ubunto should see the net connection on eth0 and configure itself automagically
[01:00] <timas> Gixbit: I'm hitting the 4 days on the kernel issues.. I tried compiling my own, to no avail :)  Such is life, but its what makes Linux interesting to me
[01:00] <Gixbit> timas: i got hugely horrible luck or ubuntu hates me even though the word means for human beings?
[01:00] <knoppix_> aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[01:00] <DarkAudit> especially if you set it to use DHCP
[01:00] <knoppix_> i got it
[01:00] <knoppix_> k 10x
[01:00] <timas> GottferDamnt: Did you install the w32 codecs?
[01:01] <knoppix_> i hope that that is what gona happen
[01:01] <mwe> Gixbit: it doesn't
[01:01] <GottferDamnt> timas: yes I did
[01:01] <GottferDamnt> :/
[01:02] <timas> GottferDamnt: sorry, not sure then! they work for me, I think.. not sure
[01:02] <Gixbit> mwe: you sure?
[01:02] <Gixbit> mwe: i'm pretty sure it does
[01:02] <Gixbit> mwe: ubuntu has been kicking me in the face for the last day and i havent even got it installed
[01:02] <mwe> Gixbit: I'm sure
[01:02] <DarkAudit> knoppix_: hook all the wires up, and point your browser to your cable modem address. You should see a config screen. Then call the ISP for that 'manual setup'. They'll need some info from the modem
[01:02] <DarkAudit> whoops :)
[01:02] <Frankenstein> Gixbit, whats wrong? lol
[01:02] <gilianima> where are stored files with vsftpd ?
[01:03] <GottferDamnt> timas: OK... I don t understand too... It s stranger... I have all codecs to read .mov files but I have finally just some sounds
[01:03] <mwe> Gixbit: it's the motto though
[01:03] <hussam> I can hibernate by right clicking the 'power manager' icon the notification area and selecting 'hibernate' but I want to make the computer hibernate when I press the power button. How do I do that?
[01:03] <timas> Gixbit's installer ate his boot partition
[01:03] <Gixbit> frankenstein: oh nothing besides ubuntu is being a bastard?
[01:03] <Gixbit> excuse my french
[01:03] <mwe> Gixbit: well can you provide more detail?
[01:03] <Frankenstein> Gixbit, it can be at times :P rewarding once you have a nice pc and can move onto cool graphics and themes
[01:03] <Gixbit> there's far more colorful words i could use to express my anger
[01:03] <timas> GottferDamnt: do they play in other players?
[01:04] <Frankenstein> Gixbit, only a computer, no need to get upset... just state your problems one at a tiem and someone is sure to help
[01:04] <mwe> Gixbit: well this is not the place. it's a support channel
[01:04] <Gixbit> mwe: indeed
[01:04] <GottferDamnt> timas: I tried in vlc and totem... no way
[01:04] <Gixbit> if it means anything kubuntu just wasted 1 day
[01:04] <Gixbit> the problem i'm having is getting it installed it wont load right
[01:04] <Gixbit> so now i have to redo the install
[01:05] <Gixbit> and to do that i have to apt-get update and reinstall fglrx
[01:05] <PorkyPig> oink
[01:05] <Gixbit> just to start the gui x windows interface
[01:05] <Frankenstein> wow
[01:05] <Frankenstein> i messed up my pc
[01:05] <Gixbit> and so far
[01:05] <Gixbit> it's lagging out on archive.ubuntu.com
[01:05] <Gixbit> so some reason....
[01:05] <Seveas> !reposdown > Gixbit
[01:06] <Gixbit> any reason why the server is always waiting for headers?
[01:06] <Gixbit> or does it just love me like crazy?
[01:06] <timas> its lagging for me too
[01:07] <Gixbit> what a perfect time for it
[01:07] <dravas> How do I change the permission of files dravas@dravas-desktop:~/IRCServerServices/Unreal3.2$ ./unreal start bash: ./unreal: Permission denied
[01:07] <shaun_> can someone explain the difference between kde, kde-base, and kde core? and which one i should be using?
[01:07] <digitalhav0c>  chown dravas
[01:07] <dravas> ok
[01:07] <timas> chown --help, dravas
[01:07] <Gixbit> wow it ignored get 3
[01:07] <timas> Shaun, depends on what you want to do?
[01:08] <shaun_> well, what does that mean?
[01:08] <shaun_> i want to use the  entire kde suite.
[01:08] <timas> KDE, like any bigger application, is made up out of several packages.. they all work together to bring one big final product
[01:08] <zuhause01xx> hi!
[01:08] <hyphenated> dravas: that error is probably because the file is not 'executable', which you can fix with chmod
[01:08] <timas> look for the kde-desktop, Shaun_
[01:09] <hussam> anyone knows how to make the power button hibernate instead of shut down?
[01:09] <libuntu> zenit: could you look for a second on my xorg.conf http://nopaste.biz/?7225
[01:09] <hyphenated> dravas: alternatively, you can run 'sh ./unreal' instead of './unreal'
[01:09] <Gixbit> i want to use ubuntu but that's becoming more difficult by the second
[01:09] <zuhause01xx> i would like to download something via WGET and would like to download the files to a certain folder, can someone help on this one please
[01:09] <timas> Gixbit: run the installer again from the same CD, manually set up that drive
[01:10] <luisito> how can I resize my partitions from ubuntu in a hardrive with ubuntu and windows?
[01:10] <hyphenated> zuhause01xx: cd to the folder before running the wget command
[01:10] <Kyral> GParted
[01:10] <longwave> zuhause01xx: run "wget --help" and look at the flags under Directories
[01:10] <stephan21_> can someone help me .....if i have 2 sound cards witch only support once instant of sound can i like have one playing quake3 and one playing music
[01:10] <Gixbit> timas: i'll try
[01:10] <timas> wget -O "your/output/file" "http://yoururl.com"   ?
[01:10] <Kyral> though its best to use a LiveCD and use GParted/QtParted from there
[01:10] <zuhause01xx> yoo, thanx ;D
[01:11] <Gixbit> timas: if it doesnt work i'll just break everything in the room and be happy
[01:11] <timas> Gixbit: whatever floats your boat ;)
[01:11] <luisito> Kyral: thank you man
[01:11] <Kyral> Just be careful
[01:11] <Kyral> always assume that a repartition op will delete the affected partitions
[01:11] <Kyral> This isn't always the case, but its most of the time :P
[01:11] <luisito> Kyral: it is installen d in ubuntu or I'll have to install it?
[01:12] <Gixbit> somebody wanna tell archive.ubuntu.com to stop being stupid and slow
[01:12] <mumbles> ok ubuntu keeps on failing installing linux base.
[01:12] <Kyral> Like I said, use a LiveCD
[01:12] <Kyral> the Ubuntu LiveCD has GParted
[01:12] <azureal> hi, my sound doesn't work after following http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_configure_sound_to_work_properly_in_GNOME
[01:12] <azureal> any ideas?
[01:12] <Kyral> like I said, though...BE CAREFUL
[01:12] <Kyral> backup whatever before hand just incase
[01:13] <probono> hi all, is there a known problem with loop-mounting in the dapper live cd?
[01:13] <mumbles> anyone else having troulbe with installin ubuntu atm ?
[01:13] <Gixbit> timas: hey how do i break the apt-get update?
[01:13] <Kyral> I use Arch :P
[01:13] <Gixbit> timas: i mean how do i cancel it so i can keep trying it until it works...
[01:13] <timas> Gixbit: Ctr+C
[01:13] <timas> Gixbit: Ctr+C will generally stop any running cli (commandline interface) application
[01:14] <luisito> Kyral: but, if I use it from the hardrive?, it's too risky?
[01:14] <peace-kee> why are the icons for firefox and thunderbird so ugly? :D
[01:14] <nikin> ... /msg archive.ubuntu.com Dont be stupid and Slow PLIIIZ
[01:14] <Kyral> luisito: I say run it from the LiveCD because you cannot operate on a disk that is actively being used
[01:14] <Gixbit> argh archive.ubuntu!!!!!
[01:14] <azureal> that page should be removed from ubuntuguide.org, as it is horrible
[01:14] <Kyral> luisito: when you fire up a LiveCD it runs from the CD and doesn't mount the HD
[01:14] <mumbles> damm ubuntu install properley
[01:14] <DanaG> Where does ALSA store its configuration?
[01:15] <luisito> ok
[01:15] <Gixbit> archive.ubuntu.com is mean!
[01:15] <timas> mumbles:  did you check the CD?
[01:15] <luisito> Kyral: ok thanks
[01:15] <mumbles> timas yeh cd is fine
[01:15] <crimsun> DanaG: what do you mean by "configuration"?
[01:15] <mumbles> its when its downloading stuff from the server its having problems
[01:15] <DanaG> Aliases of sound-card-0 and sound-card-1
[01:15] <mumbles> ire all the packages
[01:15] <crimsun> DanaG: those are unnecessary
[01:15] <crimsun> DanaG: what's the root issue?
[01:16] <Gixbit> its only the archive server
[01:16] <timas> mumbles: try again tomorrow.. everyone's having those issues.. archive's having hickups
[01:16] <peace-kee> whats the best filesystem to choose if i have a separate hard disk only for data and want it readable for both windows and linux ?
[01:16] <crimsun> no, it's a bandwidth issue at the London data centre
[01:17] <crimsun> use another mirror
[01:17] <Gixbit> archive's being horrible today
[01:17] <DanaG> I have two sound cards, and the wrong one is slot 0.
[01:17] <timas> peace-kee: Go with FAT32
[01:17] <peace-kee> kay thx
[01:17] <mumbles> timas crap. was hopeing to get it working today
[01:17] <crimsun> DanaG: set it with System> Preferences> Sound> Set default sound card
[01:17] <Gixbit> unfortunatly i need to get that UPDATE now
[01:17] <Gixbit> because everything is being brokeback
[01:18] <ohho1290>
[01:18] <ohho1290> hi
[01:18] <|thunder> what up all ,..
[01:18] <azureal> so is there a way to get my sound working (after following that horrible ubuntu.org guide?)
[01:18] <FuriousRage> either linux or my isp hates me
[01:18] <nikin> Gixbit: supporting ubuntu with some money, like about 1.000.000$ will help them out of server issues
[01:18] <crimsun> azureal: what's the issue?
[01:18] <crimsun> (no, I have not read scrollback.)
[01:19] <|thunder> az, integrated or pci?  what chipset?
[01:19] <mwe> Gixbit: use a mirror like the topic suggests
[01:19] <azureal> crimsun: I followed this http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_configure_sound_to_work_properly_in_GNOME
[01:20] <azureal> and it ruined my sound
[01:20] <Gixbit> mwe: how?
[01:20] <Gixbit> mwe: i dont know how to do with from CLI
[01:20] <mwe> Gixbit: change your /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:20] <crimsun> man
[01:20] <arto> When I installed the w32 codecs the video appears greenish and digitally dotted.. It's a wmv codec I am trying to work out.. What's the problem?
[01:20] <crimsun> I don't see why people /insist/ on following that guide, but whatever.
[01:20] <crimsun> azureal: first thing: get rid of ~/.asoundrc*
[01:20] <Gixbit> mwe: how?
[01:20] <crimsun> azureal: (and /etc/asound.conf if you created one)
[01:21] <azureal> yes, i already did part2
[01:21] <Dubuntu> use kmplayer
[01:21] <mwe> Gixbit: you don't know how to edit a file?
[01:21] <azureal> (your part2 lol)
[01:21] <Gixbit> mwe: in this linux? now
[01:21] <Gixbit> no*
[01:21] <timas> arto: I have somewhat the same issue.. Kaffeine plays my movies awesomely.. any of the others save mplayer give varying results..
[01:21] <|thunder> ive been using automatix to install my codecs. all work fine but libdvdcss which i have to apt manually
[01:21] <DanaG> "Edgy Eft"?  WTF is an Eft?
[01:21] <timas> arto: never figured it out though.. just stuck with kaffiene
[01:21] <crimsun> a newt-like organism.
[01:21] <|thunder> i was wondering also
[01:21] <azureal> crimsun: there is no .asoundrc
[01:21] <mwe> Gixbit: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list. back it up first though
[01:22] <crimsun> azureal: good. now pastebin ``lspci -v |grep -i audio && cat /proc/asound/cards''
[01:22] <mwe> Gixbit: sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.old
[01:22] <arto> timas: I believe.. that it's a codec conflict. BUt I am not sure which codec conflicts with wmv codec!!
[01:22] <Patrick_> how would I get Ubuntu to connect to my Proxy Server and get internet from it?
[01:22] <arto> timas: And I can't uninstall Xvid codecs.. so hell, I will try kaffeine.
[01:22] <ohho1290> how can i use another language in Rhythmbox <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:22] <Gixbit> mwe: hey i'm on live cd?
[01:23] <Gixbit> mwe: i dont care if it explodes little lone backing anything up
[01:23] <wheels3572> What's the difference between a Taskbar and a Launcher?
[01:23] <mwe> Gixbit: yes and you're trying to install things ?
[01:23] <timas> arto: maybe sound+video? I'm not sure what the sound layer of wmv files is.. try kaffiene, see how that works out
[01:23] <dravas> Whats the apt-get command for a C compiler?
[01:23] <peace-keeper> how to configure graphic card? (its damn slow)
[01:23] <hyphenated> dravas: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[01:23] <nikin> Gixbit: you want to update on livecd?
[01:23] <dravas> thanks
[01:23] <azureal> crimsun: http://pastebin.ca/114231
[01:23] <|thunder> peace, ati or nvidia ?
[01:23] <timas> peace-keeper: try to define which card?  I wont be able to help either way but others might be able to
[01:23] <Gixbit> yes
[01:24] <Gixbit> I HAVE TO UPDATE and get fglrx
[01:24] <arto> timas: I am downloading it now.. however, do you generally recommend KDE programs on Gnome Desktop? They work fine, no problem?
[01:24] <Gixbit> because it cant do x windows interface
[01:24] <peace-keeper> elsa erazor ii :) very old
[01:24] <|thunder> areto, always have for me
[01:24] <azureal> crimsun: i think perhaps removing my /etc/esound/esd.conf and replacing it w/ the backup might work
[01:24] <peace-keeper> riva tnt chip or something like that
[01:24] <DanaG> Legacy NVIDIA that is.
[01:25] <lamo> hi guys
[01:25] <mwe> !shout
[01:25] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[01:25] <nikin> mwe: is there a fallback gnome mode on livecd?
[01:25] <DanaG> http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=74173
[01:25] <mwe> nikin: I haven't used the ubuntu live cd
[01:25] <timas> arto: my experience, they do work fine.. but I tend to forget most here are Gnome users.. I'm a Kubuntu/KDE user myself :)
[01:25] <lmao> what is a program where i can download whole web sites?  i would like to view the vim tutorial on a plane :)
[01:25] <crimsun> azureal: are you unable to hear sound in Ubuntu?
[01:25] <DanaG> Elsa Erazor II 16MB Nvidia Riva PCI Video Card. TNT
[01:25] <arto> timas: Aren't you ashamed for using kubuntu? :P
[01:26] <harisund> does anybody know how to constantly monitor a file for changes? As in I want to keep seing the output of dmesg in real time, like top ... or read a log file in real time and watch it being changed?
[01:26] <mrJungle> I have installed freeNX (with apt-get), and have followed the guide found on the forums .. but when I try to connect (windows client) I'm getting the message "NX> 1004 Error: nxagent failed to start with: Unrecognized option: 1" .. Has anybody seen this?
[01:26] <lmao> i dont have the time to save each and every web page by hand.
[01:26] <hyphenated> lmao: wget -m --no-parent http://whatever
[01:26] <azureal> crimsun: i hear the initial noise at the login screen, but not in gnome or fluxbox when i run beep-media-player, for example
[01:26] <nikin> GGixbit: i recall there is a VGA mode or a fallback, on the livecd, did you try that?
[01:26] <DanaG> I'm still "wishy-washy" in deciding between (k)ubuntu and Mepis.
[01:26] <wheels3572> What's the difference between a Taskbar and a Launcher?
[01:26] <lmao> hyphenated: thanx pal
[01:26] <mwe> lmao: there is one. I forgot the name though :|
[01:26] <Gixbit> nikin: holy hell man, I don't know anything about Ubuntu
[01:26] <hyphenated> wheels3572: taskbar shows what is running. launcher is the icons you click to start programs
[01:26] <Gixbit> nikin: or anything about some vga mode
[01:27] <DanaG> It sounds like that Riva TNT (1) needs _legacy_ NVIDIA
[01:27] <|thunder> wheels, launder is just an icon
[01:27] <|thunder> task bar holds them
[01:27] <timas> arto: Not at the least! :D  I love it so much better than gnome ;)  Nm it though! offtopic
[01:27] <peace-keeper> and how i install nvidia ?
[01:27] <nikin> Gixbit: restart with the CD and on the first screen look for fallback or VGA or something like that
[01:27] <wheels3572> hyphenated, ok
[01:28] <mwe> lmao: vimdoc.sf.net has a huge amount of downloadble vim docs though
[01:28] <|thunder> try this 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-kernel-common nvidia-glx'
[01:28] <micahcowan> !nvidia
[01:28] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:28] <Gixbit> here's what i'm going to do
[01:28] <|thunder> that works great for my nv6600 and 6200
[01:28] <DanaG> you need LEGACY
[01:28] <FuriousRage> !killmyispplease
[01:28] <ubotu> I know nothing about killmyispplease - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:28] <Gixbit> i'm going to set the active partition as my windows partition
[01:28] <peace-keeper> i'm so proud i managed to install ubuntu without cdrom drive
[01:28] <|thunder> easy ubuntu has legacy drivers
[01:28] <azureal> crimsun: i'm about to restart again to see if that'll have any effect
[01:28] <Gixbit> and come back when ubuntu isn't crazy like this
[01:28] <|thunder> automatix does not
[01:28] <Gixbit> for free software it isnt that friendly
[01:29] <Gixbit> cough
[01:29] <micahcowan> peace-keeper, OOC how did you install?
[01:29] <nikin> Gixbit F4 is VGA
[01:29] <nikin> if i remember good
[01:29] <mwe> he left
[01:29] <aStRaLgOd> well, nikin also gets a paycut
[01:29] <timas> I'm out folks, I'll try again with my k3b/cdrecord issues later on :)
[01:29] <|thunder> could someone help me rename some file extensions please? i tried 'mv *.m4p *.m4a' with no success.
[01:30] <lix> Hi. Can somebody please tell me, how i can do "color management" with my LCD screen in ubuntu? i would like to turn the colors "warmer" for graphic work with gimp.
[01:30] <FuriousRage> it seams no one can solve my conundrum at all ;(
[01:30] <mwe> |thunder: use mmv
[01:30] <|thunder> and 'man rename' is too damned confusing
[01:30] <nikin> mwe: i still think this could work... i mean the VGA mode... dunno.
[01:30] <MarcN> |thunder: rename 's/mp4/m4a/' *.m4p                      renames all foo.m4p to foo.mp4
[01:30] <lix> |thunder: use mv
[01:30] <mwe> |thunder: mmv is easy
[01:30] <userundefine> FuriousRage, what's the problem
[01:31] <peace-keeper> i installed with "instlux"
[01:31] <|thunder> hehe, thanks all.
[01:31] <Chetic> anybody know how to show what song is playing in xmms using xsys?
[01:31] <peace-keeper> only had winxp, and that instlux booted a simple installer which downloaded everything
[01:31] <FuriousRage> is it possible to boot the ubuntu cd with ipv6 disabled?
[01:31] <peace-keeper> very sweet
[01:32] <userundefine> FuriousRage, probably not.  You could disable the ipv6 modules once you're in though
[01:32] <nikin> astral: why i get paycut? :(
[01:32] <micahcowan> peace-keeper, looks pretty sweet.

[01:35] <wheels3572> hyphenated, would that be the workspaces or is that different?
[01:35] <userundefine> philippe_, you check the md5 hashes, and/or bad media?

[01:37] <philippe_> ok
[01:38] <dou213> how can i check with commands if my repositories are all activated?
[01:38] <Jack_Sparrow> philippe_: substitute the name of your iso for the obvious sudoname I used
[01:38] <nikin> peace.keeper: IMHO irssi is the best IRC client, ecen with its limitations
[01:39] <peace-keeper> thats the one i'm on with right now, i think
[01:39] <digitalhav0c> hum it doesn't tell me how to connect to a wireless network like a hotspots thats open to everyone
[01:39] <longwave> nikin: i agree, but what limitations does irssi have?
[01:39] <digitalhav0c> how can scan to see what networks are available?
[01:39] <longwave> surely if you can write perl, it can do anything :)

[01:41] <Patrick_> gaim, terminal, etc.
[01:41] <dou213> how can i look for a package name? sudo apt-search?
[01:41] <nikin> Patrick: what is elsE?
[01:41] <digitalhav0c> gaim can use proxy's you just have to set up to use one
[01:41] <fiction_> Hey
[01:41] <digitalhav0c> terminal you mean what Patrick_
[01:41] <fiction_> noob question coming up
[01:41] <lix> dou213: apt-cache search
[01:41] <Ap0s7le> HEY all, video card question real fast. Would a NVIDIA 7300 work alright on Ubuntu?
[01:41] <jme> is there a quick way to take screencaps in Ubuntu?
[01:41] <dou213> lix, thx
[01:42] <lix> dou213: or synaptic or aptitude
[01:42] <Patrick_> digitalhav0c, like, sudo apt-get update
[01:42] <fiction_> Apostle, type !nvidia
[01:42] <lmao> my laptop gets hot and i dont download anything when im asleep.
[01:42] <jme> Ap0s7le: yeah, but it may take a little work getting the drivers working
[01:42] <fiction_> youll get all the info you need
[01:42] <digitalhav0c> oh
[01:42] <lix> dou213: apt-cache show packagename shows you info about the package
[01:42] <Ap0s7le> !nvidia
[01:42] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:42] <fiction_> Ok
[01:42] <Ap0s7le> OK thanks!
[01:42] <fiction_> im installing something and i came upon this:  "Find the appropriate module for your kernel. For example, if you have linux-image-amd64-k8 "
[01:42] <lmao> is my hard drive moving much even if im not download (such as durring my 7 hour slumber?)
[01:42] <fiction_> how do i know which linux-image i have?
[01:42] <nikin> i ame so glad that i dont have any fancy videokard, just an intel XG2 :D
[01:43] <digitalhav0c> Im guessing here but who admins the proxy
[01:43] <AAA> fiction_  uname -r
[01:43] <lix> fiction_:uname -a
[01:43] <philippe_> jack do you have an idea
[01:43] <fiction_> thank you AAA and lix
[01:43] <jme> so, how do I make screenshots?
[01:43] <Jack_Sparrow> philippe_: Still looking for the md5 checksum for you

[01:44] <lix> s/ot/or
[01:44] <eternaljoy> anyone here using Dapper?
[01:44] <Jack_Sparrow> philippe_: e2e5e0bfb2edffd2ce02dd77bda4558e     http://mirror.cs.umn.edu/ubuntu-releases/6.06/MD5SUMS
[01:44] <dou213> hmm, it doesn't find automatix in my repos when i do an apt-cache search automatix
[01:44] <eternaljoy> does anyone here use Linux?
[01:44] <jme> thanks, guys
[01:44] <lix> eternaljoy: most of us :)
[01:44] <fiction_> ok i got this now
[01:44] <AAA> what is this Linux?
[01:44] <fiction_> "E: I wasn't able to locate file for the linux-kernel-headers package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package."
[01:44] <jme> actually, alt-print screen does it!
[01:44] <fiction_> what the heck am i supposed to do
[01:44] <micahcowan> eternaljoy, almost everyone is using Linux, and many are using Dapper.
[01:45] <azureal> eternaljoy: ROFL
[01:45] <Ap0s7le> Thank you Schumi
[01:45] <eternaljoy> lix: really?
[01:45] <AAA> eternaljoy  what are you talking about?
[01:45] <lix> jme: true ;) *sigh*
[01:45] <jme> open source is for communists
[01:45] <fiction_> lol
[01:45] <AAA> haha
[01:45] <azureal> micahcowan: thx for your help before
[01:45] <acojlo> any expert on the subject of Powernowd, Cpufreqd and Laptop-mode?
[01:45] <Jack_Sparrow> dou213: try #automatix
[01:45] <lix> eternaljoy: sure. so does mark shuttleworth
[01:45] <micahcowan> azureal, you did get my PM later, then?
[01:45] <AAA> acojlo  just RTFM for those fine programs
[01:45] <Jack_Sparrow> philippe_: Try burning it slower is my only suggestion
[01:45] <azureal> micahcowan: nod, i just commented out the %admin line
[01:46] <philippe_> ok thnakx
[01:46] <azureal> micahcowan: apparently it took some time for sudoers changes to take effect
[01:46] <philippe_> ill try it
[01:46] <Jack_Sparrow> AAA RTFM is nOT appreciated around here
[01:46] <micahcowan> azureal, apparently, it would have been acceptable to just move the user line below the %admin ine.
[01:46] <azureal> micahcowan: they don't do so immediately
[01:46] <lix> eternaljoy: what ar you using?
[01:46] <javiolo> hi
[01:46] <metalzelo> hey, I've installed ubuntu two days ago and I've removed the system tray from the panel by accident. Somehow I cant find the system tray at the "Add to Panel" list. So, where can I restore the system tray?
[01:46] <azureal> micahcowan: yes, perhaps, but this solution seems to work, so =)
[01:46] <AAA> Jack_Sparrow  it is wrong to read the manual? it is right to just blindly type stuff in a terminal?
[01:47] <micahcowan> azureal: I don't believe that's possible, given how sudo is implemented (BTW, I /do/ have Ubuntu at work now :-) )
[01:47] <fiction_> i do that
[01:47] <fiction_> i type away
[01:47] <azureal> haha
[01:47] <Ap0s7le> Basically what I'm needing to do is just get a Video card that would allow my TV to act as my monitor
[01:47] <micahcowan> azureal: (referring to delayed activation of sudoers file)
[01:47] <Jack_Sparrow> AAA it isnt up for discussion
[01:47] <acojlo> jme, acctualy every software is open source, but it makes difference is it open source just in software company or for whole world
[01:47] <javiolo> just upgraded yto 2.6.15-26 and I if do a uname -a it says 2.6.15-23 any idea ?
[01:47] <AAA> Jack_Sparrow  I understand your point though, and I certainly do help when I know the proper answer
[01:47] <azureal> micahcowan: the thing is, I had commented out the line, was somewhat upset that it didn't work, then left...
[01:47] <fiction_> javiolo, you might have to restart
[01:47] <acojlo> javiolo try 'sudo update-grub'
[01:47] <lix> acojlo: call it software libre :)
[01:47] <javiolo> fiction I restarted
[01:47] <eternaljoy> javiolo: yes
[01:47] <fiction_> then i dont know
[01:47] <azureal> micahcowan: I come back, see your PM, but try sudo anyway before making any changes -- it works =)
[01:48] <mwe> javiolo: yes you didn't reboot into that kernel
[01:48] <jme> acojlo: that's pretty pedantic -- the rest of us can look at the licensing
[01:48] <eternaljoy> javiolo: reboot
[01:48] <micahcowan> azureal... and then it didn't work? huh. beats me how that could happen...!
[01:48] <eternaljoy> javiolo: did you do a warm reboot?
[01:48] <fiction_> open counterstrike and press f10
[01:48] <javiolo> eternaljoy shutdown -r now
[01:48] <acojlo> javiolo: mwe has right - reboot
[01:48] <micahcowan> anyway, I'm glad you got it working. And I learned something new in the process :-)
[01:48] <eternaljoy> javiolo: pick the 2.6.15-26 from the boot menu
[01:48] <azureal> thus, it didn't work immediately =)
[01:48] <azureal> yea, i guess....
[01:48] <shiv> windows ntfs will not mount after todays updates. any help?
[01:48] <azureal> i learned that linux can be weird sometimes =P
[01:49] <javiolo> eternaljoy ok
[01:49] <eternaljoy> javiolo: your old kernel is still available grom the grub menu!
[01:49] <eternaljoy> javiolo: so, pick the 2.6.15-26 from the boot menu
[01:49] <Ap0s7le> I guess I'll try and get this crazy thing working. I hope I don't need anything else besides the card
[01:49] <AAA> shiv what errors do you get?
[01:49] <javiolo> have to reboot again
[01:49] <acojlo> shiv, what the heck have you done?
[01:49] <javiolo> thanks!
[01:49] <mwe> shiv: paste.ubuntu-nl.org your /etc/fstab
[01:49] <FuriousRage> and i learned linux doesnt work with my computer, and not im gonna learn how its to sleep for a few hours
[01:49] <fiction_> i finally got to install linux recently
[01:49] <metalzelo> hey, I've installed ubuntu two days ago and I've removed the system tray from the panel by accident. Somehow I cant find the system tray at the "Add to Panel" list. So, where can I restore the system tray?
[01:49] <fiction_> before, they wouldnt detect my hard drive
[01:49] <fiction_> tnone of them
[01:49] <metalzelo> someone haveing an idea?
[01:49] <michaeljb2006> metalzelo, it's there
[01:49] <fiction_> gentoo still doesn't
[01:49] <michaeljb2006> it's just not obvious which one it is
[01:50] <mwe> fiction_: it needs help sometimes
[01:50] <mercykiller> fiction_, what sort of hd do you have?
[01:50] <acojlo> metalzelo: do you use kde?
[01:50] <mercykiller> SATA2?
[01:50] <michaeljb2006> I forget, but when I get home I can check, but if you don't want to wait, just keep trying them til you find it
[01:50] <newuser1> Anyone know why a new install of ubuntu would fail to update?  Error says fails to connect to the server... Connection failed [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]
[01:50] <metalzelo> no, I use gnome
[01:50] <Jack_Sparrow> FuriousRage: Dont blame all of linux for one built in nic card that isnt supported
[01:50] <fiction_> i have a SATA.
[01:50] <mwe> newuser1: network not up or mirror down
[01:50] <AAA> newuser1  you don't have an Inet connection?
[01:50] <fiction_> gentoo doesn't detect it and neither does debian
[01:50] <acojlo> metalzelo, You have two panels: one up and one down, try add panel on both of them
[01:50] <FuriousRage> Jack_Sparrow: so nForce4 isnt supported after all?
[01:50] <fiction_> it's odd
[01:51] <newuser1> I'm on the machine.  Firefox connects great
[01:51] <mercykiller> fiction_ That's strange, my SATA hds have been detected since late '04
[01:51] <acojlo> fiction, which sata?
[01:51] <jme> newuser1: sounds like a failure to connect to the server
[01:51] <mercykiller> ...which is when I bought them
[01:51] <mercykiller> heh
[01:51] <mwe> FuriousRage: it is
[01:51] <fiction_> mercykiller: odd. i bought this computer in october 2005
[01:51] <newuser1> Happens always..  three days now
[01:51] <metalzelo> there is no difference between the two Add Panel menues
[01:51] <mercykiller> fiction_: I've heard that SATA2 isn't supported...
[01:51] <Jack_Sparrow> FuriousRage: NOt sure, some people have it working.. others spent $7 on a supported nic
[01:51] <fiction_> then maybe i have SATA2 and don't know
[01:51] <newuser1> Not sure what to tweak
[01:51] <shiv> mwe: I did that fstab
[01:52] <mercykiller> hmm
[01:52] <mwe> shiv: what?
[01:52] <AAA> newuser1  but you can connect to the web and ssh and whateverr? I would change your repo's in sources.list then
[01:52] <shiv> I posted my fstab
[01:52] <mwe> shiv: you pasted it?
[01:52] <shiv> ya
[01:52] <fiction_> if a distro doesn't detect a network card, can i force it to detect?
[01:52] <mwe> shiv: URL?
[01:52] <Jack_Sparrow> !easysource
[01:52] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[01:52] <mercykiller> fiction_: Try "modprobe -t net"
[01:52] <AAA> shiv mount -t ntfs /dev/foo /mnt/foo doesn't work?
[01:52] <fiction_> ill write tha down
[01:52] <javiolo> hi again
[01:52] <fiction_> hi
[01:52] <shiv> AAA: i do not get any errors
[01:52] <metalzelo> acojlo, any other idea?
[01:52] <newuser1> ???  repo's in sources.list ????
[01:52] <shiv> its just not there
[01:52] <acojlo> metalzelo, so you are sure it's called system tray?
[01:52] <mwe> shiv: paste the URL here. paste.buntu-nl.org/123456 or whatever
[01:53] <javiolo> rebooted and its the same, I didnt have the option to change the kernel boot
[01:53] <shiv> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19644
[01:53] <AAA> shiv what happens when you run the command (not mount -a)
[01:53] <Jack_Sparrow> shiv: you can use the diskmounter script to get that ntfs mounted
[01:53] <fiction_> can anyone tell me what 'breezy' is?
[01:53] <Jack_Sparrow> !diskmounter
[01:53] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse
[01:53] <acojlo> how to stop showing info about join/leave this channel?
[01:53] <metalzelo> with system tray I mean the list of programs which are running, eg, if you minimize gaim its just in the system tray
[01:53] <userundefine> fiction, it's the name of the previous ubuntu release
[01:53] <metalzelo> I think that the right word... but Im not quite sure

[01:56] <mwe> AAA: and what is ntfs-3g fs?

[02:01] <user1> hello all
[02:01] <theboywhogotlost> Where do I do that?
[02:01] <AAA> theboywhogotlost  you can use apt to do it or ftp to ftp.kernel.org
[02:01] <Chris37879> longwave&AAA: thanks
[02:02] <user1> I am trying to use Dump but it looks like it is not loaded
[02:02] <user1> is it still used much?
[02:02] <shiv> mwe: this is what I get
[02:02] <shiv> shiv@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount -a
[02:02] <shiv> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1,

[02:03] <ScoobyD00> anyone have any experience installing GFS / RH cluster suite?
[02:03] <ttyfscker> whats that thing i seen for automatic sources.list on here.. there was a ! trigger for it
[02:03] <longwave> shiv: paste the /dev/hda1 line from your /etc/fstab
[02:03] <ttyfscker> !source-o-matic
[02:03] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[02:03] <ttyfscker> yea that was it
[02:03] <AAA> shiv _I_ would apt-get install ntfsprogs and try to fsck that partition YMMV
[02:03] <Schumi> does anyone know why when I goto add repositories in synaptic manager, universe and multiverse don't stay checked?
[02:04] <Jack_Sparrow> lmao: To find Kernel info Use Terminal and type uname --help or -a for all info will give basic cpu info
[02:04] <shiv> longwave: /dev/hda1       /media/windows  ntfs    silent,umask=0222,locale=en_US.utf8    0    0

[02:05] <Jack_Sparrow> shiv: this is what I have if that helps /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 ntfs ro,user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 0 0
[02:05] <longwave> shiv: what are the silent and locale options? they are not in the mount manpage
[02:05] <fiction> yay, installing nvidia didn't work
[02:05] <shiv> I think I will just reboot to windows and shut it down properly
[02:05] <ryanakca_> When I try to quit bzflag, the application hangs. I can't switch for vt1-6, and I can only access the box threw ssh. I've run "killall bzflag" and "ps aux | grep bzflag" "kill -9 <PID>". hasn't done anything. what else can I do?
[02:06] <fiction> all i want to do in linux is use the net and install a python idle so i can program in python
[02:06] <fiction> is that too much to ask =( lol
[02:06] <fiction> i cant seem to do it
[02:06] <Chris37879> ok... well that idea flopped.... anyone have a good working knowledge of makefiles and all the crap that can go wrong... i need help installing wine
[02:06] <fiction> !nvidia
[02:06] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:06] <AAA> fiction  that sure seems simple enough, what is the problem?
[02:06] <ryanakca_> fiction: what's wrong?
[02:06] <longwave> Chris37879: any reason you aren't installing wine from a package instead?
[02:06] <fiction> Well for now i am trying to install my nvidia driver
[02:06] <fiction> 6600gr
[02:06] <fiction> gt*
[02:06] <micahcowan> fiction, did you read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia ?
[02:06] <scrappy_> fiction: the nvidia installer requires some tweaking id just use the ubuntu package
[02:07] <fiction> Yes
[02:07] <Jack_Sparrow> fict I have 6600 pci-e
[02:07] <fiction> i am going to re-read it
[02:07] <Chris37879> longwave; yeah need to do the world of warcraft patch
[02:07] <fiction> scrappy_: i am man.
[02:07] <AAA> fiction  well, not to be an $@#$ but, you don't need video drivers to do what you want ;>
[02:07] <fiction> lol i know
[02:07] <fiction> but the resolution is bad
[02:07] <AAA> :)
[02:07] <tsume> oi
[02:07] <longwave> Chris37879: ok, you have make installed and some output, i take it? pastebin the error for us to see
[02:07] <fiction> i cant work in these noob resolution -_-
[02:07] <fiction> resolutions*
[02:08] <fiction> the max resolution isn't available for selection
[02:08] <AAA> fiction  did you get the driver from Nvidia? I have never had a problem with it (Non-free)
[02:08] <Chris37879> longwave: would you mind if i pmed you?
[02:08] <fiction> AAA: i did what !nvidia bot told me
[02:08] <fiction> but the thing is
[02:08] <fiction> when it told me to do the kernel part
[02:08] <fiction> i had 3 of them
[02:08] <fiction> so i installed all 3
[02:08] <AAA> d0h
[02:08] <fiction> rofl
[02:08] <fiction> id idnt know which
[02:08] <fiction> three of them ended in 386
[02:08] <AAA> k, hold
[02:08] <Jack_Sparrow> WIne is what a user does trying to get his WIndows games to run undr Linux
[02:09] <fiction> so i clicked them all
[02:09] <Schumi> anyone have Gnome Art installed?
[02:09] <longwave> Chris37879: if you want, though it may be easier to talk in here in case i can't help but someone else can
[02:09] <Jack_Sparrow> or try #Wine
[02:09] <fiction> ok guys. list things wish you could do in ubuntu that you can't ATM
[02:09] <fiction> 1) allow _ in usernames
[02:10] <fiction> that is all. everything else is pretty nice to me
[02:10] <Jack_Sparrow> !offtopic > fiction:
[02:10] <AAA> fiction  sounds like you have module hell going on, /var/log/Xorg.0.log should give you some insight as to what is going on
[02:10] <fiction> ok ok sorry
[02:10] <fiction> alright AAA. i will go check
[02:10] <ryanakca_> not #wine, #winehq
[02:11] <AAA> fiction  also did you change your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to reflect the new driver?
[02:11] <acojlo> gnome and special laptop keys (mail, web) - xmodmap or something else?
[02:11] <fiction> AAA: nope. im going to go check that file now
[02:11] <scrappy_> fiction: i did basically this http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Latest_Nvidia_Dapper Method 2  and installed fine
[02:11] <Jack_Sparrow> AAA: that is the step many forget to do.
[02:11] <Jack_Sparrow> AAA: I have 6600 here and followed the same steps and works great
[02:12] <fiction> Scrappy
[02:12] <AAA> fiction  you may also have kernel drivers loading at boot that are causing a problem /etc/modules*
[02:12] <ryanakca_> fiction: the reason "_" isn't allowed in usernames is because not all applications support usernames with "_"... look on launchpad, someone filed a bug about it, and the steps to enable that. ex: gnome user addremove doesn't support usernames with "_", wether or not it's enabled on the system
[02:12] <fiction> you followed the instructions on the unbuntu wiki pages?
[02:12] <AAA> fiction  me? no. I don't follow directions very well ;)
[02:12] <Jack_Sparrow> I did yes
[02:12] <fiction> ryabakca: thanks =). coudln't understand why it wouldnt allow it
[02:13] <fiction> lol AAA
[02:13] <acojlo> I had problem with gnome and slow window redrawing. You know what was the cause? Powernowd was starting with conservative cpufreq module.
[02:13] <vdepizzol> My ubuntu can't start. It stop with this error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19648
[02:13] <AAA> fiction  I do troubleshoot my own work OFTEN
[02:13] <scrappy_> fiction: no but the bad thing about the way i did it is i have to redo everytime i upgrade kernel
[02:13] <fiction> scrappy_: that doesnt sound too convenient =(
[02:13] <fiction> hey Jack_Sparrow
[02:13] <AAA> vdepizzol  are you trying to boot of your cd? that is where it seems to point
[02:14] <fiction> step 6: Find the appropriate module for your kernel. For example, if you have linux-image-amd64-k8 installed, then you should install linux-restricted-modules-amd64-k8.
[02:14] <fiction> when i did that, i saw 3 kernels that ended in 386
[02:14] <fiction> i checked all 3
[02:14] <vdepizzol> AAA: no, I'm booting from the hard drive
[02:14] <AAA> fiction  uname -r will give you yuor running kernel
[02:14] <fiction> should i delete two of them?
[02:14] <fiction> yes AAA
[02:14] <fiction> also
[02:14] <fiction> when i rebooted
[02:14] <AAA> vdepizzol  linux doesn't seem to think so
[02:14] <Jack_Sparrow> vdepizzol: did you verify the checksum on that cd else it may be a bad cdrom from that error
[02:14] <fiction> GRUB gave me 3 kernels to choose from
[02:15] <fiction> should i uninstall the two kernels with the lowest version numbers?
[02:15] <AAA> fiction  check dmesg after boot and see what it loaded.  also check /etc/modules and make sure the modules you want are there, and the ones you don't are not
[02:15] <vdepizzol> Jack_Sparrow: sorry?
[02:15] <Jack_Sparrow> vdepizzol: IS there any cd in that drive?
[02:15] <longwave> vdepizzol: does it actually hang there, or does it carry on booting? from what i can tell that message shouldn't stop the boot, just your cd drive probably won't work
[02:15] <vdepizzol> no
[02:15] <jroes> is there any way to set specific (faster) mirrors?
[02:15] <AAA> fiction  you only want to use modules in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/
[02:16] <Remy> anyone got any ideas why the sound might not be working in zsnes?
[02:16] <vdepizzol> longwave: hang there
[02:16] <fiction> okay
[02:16] <scrappy_> fiction: i think something like sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r`
[02:16] <AAA> vdepizzol  what option do you select in the grub boot menu (when you start your computer)
[02:16] <fiction> ill try
[02:16] <Jack_Sparrow> vdepizzol: But it was working, ?  DId you change anything or upgrade?
[02:16] <typhoid> so, xmms is nice player,  i like it a lot..  but what is a good player for like, library management?  something that auto-arranges files and what not
[02:16] <pussfeller> anyone can tell my why enemy territory is so choppy and the shapes are blurring, i have an nvidia and q3 works fine
[02:16] <AAA> vdepizzol  yeah, is this a fresh install? first boot?
[02:17] <dribble> so, when synaptic's upgrade applet complains about the upgrades "NOT AUTHENTICATED" is this due to the repo problems today?
[02:17] <scrappy_> typhoid: alot of people like amarok lots of features
[02:17] <fiction> AAA: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-26-386 is already the newest version.
[02:17] <fiction> ok
[02:17] <typhoid> thanks scrappy!
[02:17] <singamayya> typhoid: mpd
[02:17] <fiction> now should i uninstall modules with lower versions than that one?
[02:17] <vdepizzol> Jack_Sparrow: I reinstalled the xserver yesterday
[02:17] <AAA> ok fiction, find /lib/modules/ -name nv*
[02:17] <Jack_Sparrow> vdepizzol: INfo like that does help at the beginning of a question..
[02:18] <typhoid> ararok / mpd?   which is the best?
[02:18] <fiction> AAA: some lines showed up
[02:18] <shiv> Just wanted to tell that just a restart into windows and then back to ubuntu worked fine
[02:18] <fiction> lol
[02:18] <fiction> !paste AAA > find /lib/modules/ -name nv*
[02:18] <shiv> did not change fstab and kept everything the way it was
[02:18] <fiction> wait
[02:18] <AAA> shiv my bet is fsck.ntfs will clear that next time
[02:18] <greenwom> my wireless card stopped working?  first steps to recovery?
[02:18] <shiv> I see
[02:18] <vdepizzol> AAA, I use installed this ubuntu two months ago
[02:18] <aStRaLgOd> hey guys is there a way to change permissions on a folder and all it's subfolders?
[02:18] <longwave> vdepizzol: can you physically unplug the cd drive or disable it in the bios, if so does it boot then?

[02:26] <mistform> I have a Dell WLAN card (Broadcom chipset) and alot of people told me not to use ndiswrapper
[02:26] <vdepizzol> Jack_Sparrow: I disable the cd via BIOS and ubuntu started, but showed the message: "A reception program seems crashed. Try to use another different"
[02:26] <longwave> user1: try running apt-get update then do another search
[02:26] <AAA> user1  hrm. that should work even if you are updating
[02:26] <aStRaLgOd> hey guys is there a way to change permissions on a folder and all it's subfolders?
[02:26] <fiction> chmod
[02:26] <AAA> chmod -R foo
[02:26] <aStRaLgOd> lol okay thanks
[02:26] <naga44> mistform   its a usb us robotics 802.11g
[02:26] <user1> AAA: ok thanks
[02:26] <AAA> aStRaLgOd  the -R is recursive
[02:26] <aStRaLgOd> Cool thx :)
[02:27] <vdepizzol> Jack_Sparrow: and this error too: http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/9343/screenshotzr1.png
[02:27] <user1> Longwave: thanks
[02:27] <Jack_Sparrow> vdepizzol: looks like a cdrom/hardware issue if it got past the rerror
[02:27] <theboywhogotlost> whats in /lib/modules/2.6.15-26-386/build
[02:27] <naga44> i have used ndiswrapper on a bunch of distros including debian and i nopw am having trouble on 6.06 ubuntu
[02:27] <Howitzer> Does anybody know how to import a newsserver to Pan?
[02:27] <naga44> cant find anything oon forums
[02:27] <Jack_Sparrow> !ati
[02:27] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:28] <fiction> guys
[02:28] <fiction> when i click a link in here
[02:28] <fiction> it says
[02:28] <longwave> naga44 there are some good wifi docs on the wiki
[02:28] <naga44> hmm
[02:28] <greenwom> scrappy, the restricted modules aren't there?  are the restricted repos somewhere else
[02:28] <fiction> naga
[02:28] <AAA> theboywhogotlost  I believe that is a symlink to the kernel version?
[02:28] <fiction> i used ndiswrapper here and it worked for me
[02:28] <Tmob> i can't seem to edit m4a file tags in easytag.. anyone know if they see the same?
[02:29] <naga44> fiction: what were the steps to get your card up and running?
[02:29] <Zambezi> I'm trying to remove a deb-packages I installed with dpkg, but it won't disappear. Can I erase every files manually? apt-get remove, dpkg -r doesn't work.
[02:29] <fiction> naga44: go to  > system > networking and make sure you selected the default gateway device
[02:29] <fiction> in accordance(if thats a word) with what iwconfig gives you
[02:29] <AAA> Zambezi  dpkg --purge <pkg>
[02:29] <ryanakca_> Zambezi: ummm... no
[02:29] <BeepAU> hey everyone, what application should i use for media? i'm new to linux.
[02:29] <ryanakca_> Zambezi: dpkg -P packagename
[02:29] <naga44> fiction ...done
[02:29] <ryanakca_> Zambezi: or what AAA said
[02:29] <AAA> BeepAU  mplayer/gmplayer
[02:30] <scrappy_> greenwom: i did a search from the site for the word restricted and found a bunch
[02:30] <fiction> naga44: also check the properties
[02:30] <naga44> yah...
[02:30] <scrappy_> greenwom: what kernel are you using?
[02:30] <vdepizzol> Jack_Sparrow: what I do??
[02:30] <fiction> still not working?
[02:30] <AAA> Zambezi  IIRC --purge only deletes the configuration files, you still have to apt-get remove <pkg>
[02:31] <Howitzer> Hello?, could somebody point me to a newsgroup FAQ?, i can't really find any
[02:31] <Jack_Sparrow> vdepizzol: I would swap in a different cdrom if you have one around
[02:31] <fiction> naga44:  no luck?
[02:31] <theboywhogotlost> AAA how do I create a symlink?
[02:31] <naga44> nope
[02:31] <naga44> light just stays on
[02:31] <Jack_Sparrow> vdepizzol: also verify the jumper settings
[02:31] <AAA> vdepizzol  or just disable it in the bios to troubleshoot
[02:31] <fiction> naga44: maybe youre doing ndiswrapper wrong?
[02:31] <user1> Longwave:AAA: that worked, thanks alot
[02:31] <AAA> theboywhogotlost  ln -s file1 file2
[02:31] <AAA> user1  w00
[02:31] <livingdaylig> how do i chagne login page?
[02:31] <vdepizzol> AAA, I disable it, but I got a lot of errors
[02:31] <naga44> ive used it on 5 other distros with no probs
[02:31] <BeepAU> AAA -- ok, i'll check it out. thankyou.
[02:32] <AAA> vdepizzol  did ubuntu boot?
[02:32] <vdepizzol> yes
[02:32] <romulo> hi, how do i configure firestarter to use 2 ethernet cards(network) instead of only one??? im using 3 cards on this computer =P
[02:32] <AAA> vdepizzol  you may have to boot into single user mode and edit your grub
[02:32] <vdepizzol> AAA, problem starting gdm, problem with XKB (http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/9343/screenshotzr1.png), video
[02:33] <vdepizzol> AAA, I'm booting from floppy to test
[02:33] <AAA> vdepizzol  ok, you prolly want to swap out your cdrom drive.  the X issue is something else entirely
[02:34] <peace-keeper> why stupid openssh asks me for password every 5 seconds ?
[02:34] <dou213> hey guys, i can't apt-get update && apt-get upgrade without logging in with the admin account through "sudo -i"
[02:34] <AAA> peace-keeper  what?
[02:34] <BeepAU> is it possible to have bookmarks or similar in chatzilla? should i just use mozilla browser to keep them?
[02:34] <Kyral> dou213: preface the command with sudo :P
[02:34] <peace-keeper> ah nevermind, i'm just playing with CVS
[02:34] <dou213> Kyral, did that
[02:34] <Zambezi> ryanakca, I have the name of the deb-file, but I should write sudo dkpg -P gftp?
[02:34] <Kyral> dou213: thats the idea then :P
[02:34] <Kyral> !root
[02:34] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[02:34] <AAA> peace-keeper  what kind of connection? I have _never_ had that problem and I use ssh daily
[02:34] <vdepizzol> AAA, I'll reinstall ubuntu
[02:34] <selfharm> i installed server edition, got it up and running in command line, used apt to install ubuntu-desktop and restarted. now, it hangs up at a black screen. any help??
[02:35] <Schumi> !ruby
[02:35] <ubotu> I know nothing about ruby - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[02:35] <AAA> vdepizzol  as you wish, practice makes perfect :)
[02:35] <vdepizzol> :)
[02:35] <peace-keeper> it asked me 4 times for my password when browsing my cvs repository
[02:35] <peace-keeper> in eclipse
[02:35] <vdepizzol> selfharm: type "gdm" to start ubuntu-desktop
[02:35] <Schumi> !gnome art
[02:35] <ubotu> I know nothing about gnome art - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[02:35] <dou213> Kyral, doesn't work... w8, i'll c/p the error
[02:35] <AAA> selfharm  start with the /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[02:36] <dou213> sudo apt-get update
[02:36] <scrappy_> selfharm: are you getting a login prompt at all?
[02:36] <dou213> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[02:36] <dou213> E: Unable to lock the list directory
[02:36] <theboywhogotlost> please set KERNELPATH.
[02:36] <theboywhogotlost> How do I set the KERNELPATH?
[02:36] <Kyral> measn that Apt-get is running elsewhere
[02:36] <selfharm> vdepizzol, i can't type anything. its got a white _, but its not blinking. no keystrokes are recorded...
[02:36] <AAA> peace-keeper  try using a key instead?
[02:36] <Kyral> maybe Synaptic or Adept
[02:36] <peace-keeper> a key?
[02:36] <selfharm> no login prompt at all
[02:36] <AAA> peace-keeper  an rsa/dsa key
[02:37] <selfharm> i get teh ubuntu image, i get some things loading, then the screen goes black with a white, frozen _
[02:37] <peace-keeper> hmm i'm pretty new to cvs :)
[02:37] <scrappy_> selfharm: alt-ctrl-f2 and login then sudo nano /etc/
[02:37] <scrappy_> selfharm: /etc/X11/xorg.conf and
[02:37] <AAA> peace-keeper  cvs is deprecated (almost) subversion is what the kids are using these days
[02:37] <peace-keeper> yeah i heard that, but my provider has only cvs :(
[02:38] <romulo> anyone knows how i export the current iptables rules??
[02:38] <grte> Hey, can anyone tell me the command to reconfigure xorg?
[02:38] <AAA> peace-keeper  hehe, then bug your ISP to fix it for you ;)
[02:38] <janga> grte : sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:38] <bugihugi> romulo: iptables-save
[02:38] <scrappy_> selfharm: maybe check what driver youre using .. change it to vesa and maybe default depth to 16
[02:38] <grte> janga: Thanks.
[02:38] <romulo> bugihugi: thanks
[02:38] <AAA> grte  dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server ?
[02:38] <bugihugi> romulo: iptables-save < exportfile
[02:39] <bugihugi> romulo: sorry, iptables-save > exportfile
[02:39] <bugihugi> then iptables-restore < exportfile to restore from file
[02:39] <scrappy_> selfharm: i also had a problem where i had to restart gdm everytime i rebooted so might just be sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[02:40] <selfharm> gonna try booting into Ubuntu recovery mode...
[02:40] <peace-keeper> aww cvs is fine for me, i dont care what everyone else uses :D
[02:41] <selfharm> i cant do anything, it gets to the ubuntu loading graphic for about 20 seconds, then the screen goes black. I cant type anything or do anything except for reboot
[02:41] <janga> selfhatm: what happens if you hit ctrl-alt-backspace
[02:42] <mist_> anyone here in ##Linux?
[02:42] <Dr_Willis> Hmm?
[02:42] <mist_> I need to boot my old nick, I timed out, and it's still connected
[02:42] <XXS> hello again, still using ubuntu 6.06 ;) what process is metacity? it uses 20% cpu... :/
[02:42] <selfharm> nothing janga
[02:42] <Kyral> mist_: is it registered with NickServ?
[02:42] <Dr_Willis> mist_,  /msg nickserv help
[02:42] <mist_> yes
[02:42] <grte> Okay...Anyone know that command that allows you to choose your default applications?
[02:43] <fiction> grte: theres a default aplication program
[02:43] <mist_> do I ghost?
[02:43] <Kyral> mist_: /msg NickServ GHOST <nick> <password>
[02:43] <grte> fiction: Yeah, but there's a particular command I'm after.
[02:43] <Kyral> now just change nicks as normal
[02:43] <regress> hey all, I installed 6.06, everything worked beautifully, I left it for two weeks, and now when I turn it on there's no network connection
[02:43] <regress> it's not pulling an ip
[02:43] <mistform> ok
[02:43] <mistform> ty guys
[02:44] <Kyral> Though I've used it to kill people before
[02:44] <Dr_Willis> regress,  check the obvious yet? dog dident chew through a cable?
[02:44] <fiction> regress: try doing a dhclient ath0
[02:44] <Kyral> idiot tried to make fun of me with one of my alt nicks
[02:44] <Kyral> hehe
[02:45] <regress> Dr_Willis: yeah, checked it...there's a solid light on the nic, just no activity. I switched network cables with a working workstation next to it, same issue
[02:45] <regress> fiction: I'll try that
[02:45] <AAA> fiction  funny, I just did that ;)
[02:45] <fiction> AAA: =)
[02:45] <regress> is that' ath0 or eth0?
[02:45] <fiction> regress: make sure ath0 is your NIC card. if youre not sure, do iwconfig
[02:46] <fiction> regress: type iwconfig and the information will show up next to aht0 or eth0
[02:46] <mistform> omg, 50 updates :p
[02:46] <AAA> regress  depends on your device atheros?
[02:46] <regress> just a built-in nic...
[02:46] <AAA> eth0
[02:46] <regress> yeah, eth0 did it
[02:47] <regress> thanks
[02:47] <AAA> regress  ifconfig -a will show you all the nic you have drivers for
[02:47] <regress> now...let's see how it goes...
[02:47] <selfharm> could i have a graphics issue? i log into recovery mode and everything went find. i was at command line. i did "gdm" and now i have a frozen black screen again...

[02:47] <fiction> i have to restart x but im too lazy
[02:48] <aStRaLgOd> damn.... ya know, Unix is pretty much ready for everyone.... the only thing it really needs, is support from all the hw vendors <.<
[02:48] <fiction> regress
[02:48] <aStRaLgOd> Wait, not unix
[02:48] <aStRaLgOd> Linux
[02:48] <fiction> when you see the output stops, test your connection
[02:48] <fiction> should be working
[02:48] <regress> no DHCPOFFERS received...damnit, why is my router being lazy
[02:48] <selfharm> you all see that Ubuntu advertisement on the side of the road?
[02:48] <janga> selfharm: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver xorg in textmode
[02:48] <selfharm> will do janga
[02:48] <bioticpro> anyone tried these? http://www.seerofsouls.com/ubuntu.html

[02:50] <AAA> regress  it defaults to your working nic
[02:51] <bioticpro> Get E17 ubuntu packages here - http://www.seerofsouls.com/ubuntu.html
[02:51] <janga> is anyone an expert with powernowd + PIII M ?
[02:51] <Heston> what is the password for root on the 5.10 livecd?
[02:51] <AAA> Heston  there is not one
[02:51] <regress> I'll try setting a static ip first
[02:51] <Heston> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ su
[02:51] <Heston> Password:
[02:51] <Heston> su: Authentication failure
[02:51] <Heston> i just pressed enter
[02:51] <janga> doesnt work for me
[02:52] <AAA> Heston  sudo passwd
[02:52] <AAA> Heston  you have to activate the account first
[02:52] <Heston> oh ok
[02:52] <Heston> thanks
[02:52] <AAA> silly ubuntu
[02:52] <AAA> np
[02:52] <scrappy_> Heston: or use sudo -s if you dont want to enable root
[02:52] <regress> yup, that did it
[02:53] <regress> forget dhcp, don't wanna deal with it
[02:53] <regress> thanks AAA
[02:53] <AAA> scrappy_  sudo -s will only give you a shell with your current user perms
[02:53] <Heston> sudo passwd worked
[02:53] <peace-keeper> sudo su
[02:53] <AAA> regress  then edit your /etc/network/interfaces and put your config there (where it belongs!)
[02:53] <axolx> hey guys - i want to install ubuntu in a server to take advantage of a Pentium D 930, in 64bit mode. i also want to setup raid. is all this well supported? if do, what ISO do i download for this purpose?
[02:53] <Jammie> anyone wanna help me with this partition stuff
[02:53] <ProN00b> how can i make sure my pppoe connection always stays up ?
[02:54] <Dr_Willis> axolx,  the alternate install cd - i think.
[02:54] <Dr_Willis> axolx,  i think thats needed for raid setup for one.
[02:54] <scrappy_> AAA: i kind of like that ~/ and stuff still works
[02:54] <axolx> Dr_Willis: which archtecture? x86 or AMD64?
[02:54] <nikin> where can i find detailed information about the server CD? what is on it, what does it install, and alike
[02:54] <AAA> Jammie  whats the dealio?
[02:54] <Dr_Willis> axolx,  x86 is 32bit... so logicially ya need the amd64
[02:55] <Dr_Willis> :P
[02:55] <AAA> scrappy_  mmmm bash completion
[02:55] <Jammie> I need help with the partition I have 2 partitons one a 6gig for windows an one a 21 gig i am trying to install ubuntu on an i have no idea what i am doing
[02:55] <axolx> Dr_Willis: thanks. well it seemed weird to download an AMD iso for an intel chip, so i figured i ask :)
[02:56] <AAA> Jammie  ah, I have not dual booted for a while, I am not sure the steps you need to take
[02:56] <Jammie> :(
[02:56] <AAA> Jammie  but I believe the ubuntu installer is smart enough to do it for you
[02:56] <Jammie> it wants to do the whole 30gig an i dont want it to
[02:56] <Jammie> :p
[02:56] <AAA> I just can't remember if you want to load windows are linux first (Ithink it depends on your ver of winders)
[02:57] <selfharm> ""the display driver has been shutdown about 6 times in the last 90 seconds. it is likley that something bad is going on. waiting 2 minutes before trying something again""
[02:57] <AAA> !dual boot
[02:57] <ubotu> I know nothing about dual boot - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[02:57] <bayzider> ok i have a dual boot with windows and ubuntu and my sound card is not installed so i cant find out what one i have. However it works with out the drivers in ubuntu so is there any way i could find out witch one  i have with out opening up my compy
[02:57] <janga> Jammie: you have to select manual partitioning
[02:57] <AAA> bayzider  well, lspci -vv will tell you exactly what you have if you are booted to linux
[02:58] <Jammie> yes i got that far :)
[02:58] <bayzider> boot into linux on and terminal lspci -vv?
[02:58] <Jammie> but i am not sure on how to set up the rest because when i do the delete one partition then the add new it wants to install on the 6gig
[02:58] <janga> jammie so select the 21 gig and format as /
[02:58] <Jammie> right now i am on the live
[02:59] <AAA> Jammie  you need a swap parttion (about 2x your RAM size upto 1024M) and you need a / filesystem
[02:59] <cowmilk2> i have just formatted and/or partitioned a 2nd internal harddrive and i'm wondering why my 12.3 gb hard drive has only 11 gigs free. is it normal to have 1 gib unusable?
[02:59] <Jammie> yea thats what i am stuck on
[02:59] <dou213> how can i create another partition?
[02:59] <Rui> Hello. I don't know if this is the appropriate channel for this kind of questions... Anyway, I can't rsync from rsync://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu since July 27th. What's going wrong?
[02:59] <AAA> Jammie  basically you will need your winders (/dev/hda1) your root (/dev/hda2) and your swap (/dev/hda3)
[02:59] <Jammie> let me try to mess with it if all else false i will do the whole 30gig
[03:00] <Willys_fuegu> its hard to upgrade a kernel?
[03:00] <Jammie> but see it has windows hda1 then a boot as hda2 then something else hda3 then the 21 gig as hda4
[03:00] <AAA> Jammie  no! you can keep your other stuff, just make a swap and a / partition
[03:00] <AAA> Jammie  can you paste your fdisk -l /dev/hda in paste-bin?
[03:01] <Jammie> just a sec
[03:02] <blinker> erm...i broke ubuntu...
[03:02] <Jammie> its running live cd wont let me open :p
[03:02] <blinker> heh
[03:02] <Schumi> does anybody in here know how to use Ruby .rb files? as in setup.rb?
[03:02] <Jammie> ima mess with it an see what i can figure out bb if i dont get it
[03:02] <blinker> what would cause gnome login to fail despite correct login information?
[03:03] <AAA> blinker  w000 that is the best way to learn IMHO
[03:03] <blinker> yep
[03:03] <roostishaw> anyone, is there a bash command to lookup a hostname, and "translate" it to an ip?
[03:03] <dou213> how can i create another partition like /home?
[03:03] <AAA> blinker  are you trying to use root?
[03:03] <AAA> roostishaw  host
[03:03] <roostishaw> AAA, thank you
[03:03] <AAA> roostishaw  or dig
[03:04] <blinker> i'm just trying to log into gnome on boot using normal login info (acct created during install, so yeah, prolly root)
[03:04] <Willys_fuegu> its hard to upgrade a kernel?
[03:04] <AAA> blinker  no, not root. can you <alt><ctrl>F1 and log into a VT?
[03:04] <AAA> Willys_fuegu  depends on how you do it
[03:05] <AAA> Willys_fuegu  usually an apt-get upgrade will just do it for you (if there is a newer kernel available)
[03:05] <blinker> didnt know to try, heh.
[03:05] <Sir> Hello Ubuntu users.
[03:06] <AAA> blinker  yeah ubuntu makes a user account and leaves the root disabled
[03:06] <blinker> but i can enter recovery mode and delete files...happened after i ran out of space on the frive
[03:06] <AAA> Sir  hi
[03:06] <Willys_fuegu> AAA: that comand upgrades the entire system?
[03:06] <AAA> blinker  try the VT
[03:06] <AAA> Willys_fuegu  yes sir
[03:06] <blinker> alright, bbl
[03:06] <AAA> Willys_fuegu  you can apt-get install <kernel version> as well
[03:06] <AAA> l8r blinker
[03:07] <tivoklr> question for ya
[03:07] <Thiago> como eu entro an quakenet?
[03:07] <tivoklr> i installed server
[03:07] <tivoklr> then I installed x11 and gnome
[03:07] <tivoklr> and I somehow wound up with the edubuntu version
[03:07] <tivoklr> is there any real diff?
[03:07] <tivoklr> or should I just roll with it?
[03:07] <Thiago> how do i connect at quakenet?
[03:07] <AAA> tivoklr  cat /etc/issue
[03:08] <tivoklr> 1 sec
