[00:00] <jonathan__> help installing isight
[00:00] <anima_> newp.  and I'm not sure if I'm looking atll. the right spot 'cause now I don't see anything at a
[00:00] <nkei0> fluffybacon: It said configure was an unknown option.
[00:00] <anima_> hahaha.  System, Prefs, SpashScreen
[00:01] <anima_> nothing installed.
[00:01] <Slart> anima_: it looks like this? http://imagebin.org/37578
[00:01] <wannab> nkei0: try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[00:01] <Slart> anima_: no, system, administration, startup manager
[00:01] <crx> thanks... the lights on , but i cant seem to find how to connect to a network, just says lo, eth1, and thats it???
[00:01] <nkei0> wannab: Thanks.
[00:02] <yoyoned> !radeon|nkei0
[00:02] <wannab> lol yoyoned
[00:02] <wannab> wish I knew that sooner
[00:02] <mikeshollen> Is there anyone out there who can help me get my wireless card working with 8.04?
[00:02] <_VIM_> is there anyway to have irssi not show 'nick is now known as newnick' I really dont care to see nick|away nick|eating nick|laptop who cares about your status anyways?? it's just flooding my screen </rant>
[00:02] <wannab> !nvidia
[00:02] <yoyoned> anima_: install  usplash-theme-ubuntu
[00:02] <anima_> ok...it has the new one I wanted listed, but not the old one.
[00:02] <nkei0> mikeshollen: What's wrong with it?
[00:03] <nkei0> err afk
[00:03] <Slart> _VIM_: isn't there an ignore option?
[00:03] <_VIM_> Slart: i hope so, else i might have to go back to xchat it has that feature :)
[00:03] <Slart> anima_: ok.. try this.. "sudo apt-get install --reinstall usplash-theme-ubuntu"
[00:03] <mikeshollen> nkei0: When I tried to install 8.10 it just worked right away, but I was having some other major issues and so I tried 8.04 which solved all the other problems but now the wireless card doesn't show up.  I can see the wired connection, but not wireless.
[00:04] <fluffybacon> nkei0: Sorry -  dpkg-reconfigure xorg-driver-fglrx
[00:04] <wannab> mikeshollen: maybe the kernel does not support your wireless card?
[00:05] <SonicComKid> I still havn't found a way to remove boot loaders from MBR's without destorying the partition tables
[00:05] <mikeshollen> As in this distro of Ubuntu will not ever work with my wifi card?
[00:05] <anima_> Slart:  thank you, that looks like what I goofed up - lemme reboot and see if that did what I wanted.
[00:05] <anima_> bbiab
[00:06] <fluffybacon> failing that try apt-get --purge remove <fglrx> && apt-get install <fglrx>  #sorry I have no idea what the ATI driver package is called
[00:06] <mikeshollen> I have a Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8185 IEEE 802.11a/b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 20) according to the hardware tester
[00:10] <anima_> Slart:  Nope, still there.  If I want to reinstall the whole thing, just reboot with the disk in the cdrom, yes?  Or does that hose things?
[00:10] <oobe> mikeshollen, the 8.04 uses an older kernel which probably does have the driver for you wifi card you can compile a newer kernel or search google for the specific driver source code project and compile that
[00:10] <Slart> nope... you'll have to press the install button for it to hose your system
[00:10] <Slart> ami: but try this first.. open the startup manager in system, administration
[00:10] <Slart> bah.. I can't type today
[00:11] <Slart> anima_: look above.. that was for you
[00:11] <anima_> ok
[00:11] <anima_> it's open
[00:11] <genewitch> is anyone here intimate with libpcap? i have to use a --with-pcap= when i configure, and i am wondering where to get a list of all the possible values of that variable
[00:11] <oobe> mikeshollen, out of curiosity could you pm me the other problems you had with 8.10 im still using 8.04 and am planning to upgrade one day
[00:11] <Slart> anima_: in appearance.. do you seen the usplash-theme-ubuntu?
[00:12] <anima_> yes!  select and close?
[00:12] <anima_> then reboot again?
[00:12] <Slart> anima_: yes, but make sure "show boot splash" checkbox is checked in "Boot options" first
[00:12] <mikeshollen> oobe: The major problem I ran into was that my graphics driver wouldn't work properly.  I tried all the suggested drivers and each time it killed the gui
[00:12] <anima_> ok
[00:13] <The-Compiler> hi, got a strange problem, my pc's cpu is at or around 100% all the time, and it displays 70-80% at system. Why?
[00:13] <oobe> mikeshollen, ok thanks
[00:13] <Slart> The-Compiler: use top or the system monitor to see what is using all the cpu time
[00:13] <anima_> Slart:  brb
[00:14] <The-Compiler> Slart, i did, but it's nothing...
[00:14] <The-Compiler> slart, and I only run Transmission, ran fine and now it started to rum at 100% cpu
[00:15] <Slart> The-Compiler: huh? you don't see anything using the cpu?
[00:15] <The-Compiler> slart, yeah, only around 3%
[00:16] <Slart> The-Compiler: you are sorting it by cpu-% ?
[00:16] <geffislegend> so hey everyone , my computer is officially broken, i shrunk another parition in my computer yesterday then windows decides to not work anymore and anytime i startup now it gets a bluescreen error and shuts down, all i can run is this live version of ubuntu, i tried reformatting but it wont even let me do that, i get a error every time i try that also
[00:16] <The-Compiler> slart, sure
[00:16] <deadbattery> anyone has ever used mod_bw for apache2
[00:16] <deadbattery> ?
[00:16] <anima_> Slart:  You're a miracle worker...I just wish I was smarter with linux.  OK, but it's still showing me the big blue Gnome footprint.
[00:17] <Delvien> Anyone else getting redirected to  http://tutorialvid.com/ when going to  gnome-look.org?
[00:17] <jken146> geffislegend: What error?
[00:17] <Slart> anima_: it's not a background picture you're seeing? it is the actual splash screen?
[00:17] <jken146> Delvien: no
[00:18] <racecar-56> brb
[00:18] <Slart> anima_: just to separate the sucking up from the actual reporting here.. did anything change in the boot appearance? it's the same as before? better still not good? all fine?
[00:18] <Delvien> Im getting redirected after 3-4 seconds
[00:19] <austin666_> hey guys, question:  I have my server on my network list, but i don't know how to transfer files.. i drag and drop it and it won't copy....any advice?
[00:19] <geffislegend> im not sure what error i get when i try to start windows it flashes then stops and restarts and trys the process again
[00:19] <Slart> Delvien: works for me here.. no redirection
[00:19] <Delvien> Its only gnome-look.org that is doing it to me
[00:19] <anima_> Slart, Just so you know, I'm southern.  Trust me when I start sucking up it's way hard to miss.  This time was more like ubuntu is normally.
[00:19] <Delvien> They are ridden with adds now a days..
[00:19] <Delvien> Its sad
[00:19] <anima_> It's loading gnome.
[00:19] <Delvien> ads*
[00:20] <anima_> And i'm getting their logo.
[00:20] <Slart> anima_: ok.. according to swedish tradition we're almost married now.. ;).. so there is still this blue foot thingy to get rid of?
[00:20] <jken146> geffislegend: I meant when you try to do something with the live cd
[00:20] <anima_> Yes sir.  That's the only thing left.
[00:21] <Slart> anima_: back to the startup manager.. there are options there for setting a background image.. are those enabled?
[00:21] <deadbattery> hey guys how do i get httpd-devel for apxs, i need to install a mod
[00:21] <Slart> anima_: on the second tab, Boot loader themes
[00:21] <geffislegend> oh nvm guys its actually going to let me full install ubuntu this time, but its asking if i want to install a boot loader, should i do it? what is it?
[00:22] <wemdowemd> When installing off the alternative CD (with various boot related areas, partitions, and so on in various atypical places), is it made clear when overwriting MBRs and boot-sectors is imminent? I want to avoid overwriting either on the internal hard drive of the laptop I'm using. In fact, I don't want that hard-drive touched at all. I'd set it to 'read only' for the duration of my tinkering...
[00:22] <wemdowemd> ...if I could.
[00:22] <BanDiT> You will need a bootloader because that's what tells your computer how to start Ubuntu
[00:22] <Slart> geffislegend: it's the thing that starts booting ubuntu when the computer starts.. it's called grub and yes you want it
[00:22] <anima_> The middle section for bootloader themes is empty.
[00:22] <jken146> geffislegend: yes, you should
[00:22] <jken146> !grub | geffislegend
[00:22] <deadbattery> hey guys how do i get httpd-devel for apxs, i need to install a mod
[00:22] <Slart> anima_: and if you press "manage boot loader themes"? still empty?
[00:22] <N-A> Several events/applications make a sound through my PC's internal speaker, is there any way to get these events/applications to use the sounds defined in the ubuntu settings?
[00:23] <anima_> Slart:  yes
[00:23] <geffislegend> oh okay thanks a lot ^^
[00:23] <Jack_Sparrow> wemdowemd the alternate is a text based installer. NOT a livecd
[00:23] <jken146> wemdowemd: install the bootloader to the same partition as / if you don't want to overwrite the mbr.
[00:23] <Baatti> is Intrepid the latest stable release?
[00:23] <geffislegend> i shall be back when it is done installing, thanks for the help!!
[00:23] <deadbattery> can anyone help =(?
[00:23] <Slart> anima_: this blue foot .. it shows before the splash with the ubuntu logo?
[00:23] <Slart> Baatti: yes
[00:24] <Baatti> Slart: thank you
[00:24] <wemdowemd> Jack_Sparrow: So I can't use it to make a LiveUSB? Or at least, I'd have to install it somewhere first and then use the installation to make one?
[00:24] <anom01y> I am trying to install bitchx-gtk / bitchx using hardy but there is no package for hardy, only feisty. Is there a way to convert it ?
[00:25] <Jack_Sparrow> wemdowemd I dont think the alternate has that feature.  I thought that was only on livecd
[00:25] <jken146> wemdowemd: you can use unetbootin to make a live usb
[00:25] <Jack_Sparrow> !usb
[00:25] <Slart> !bitchx | anom01y
[00:25] <jken146> wemdowemd: but not from the alternate cd
[00:25] <jrib> anom01y: bitchx was removed for the repositories because it was maintained and it had numerous open issues.  Consider using irssi or weechat instead
[00:25] <ceil420> irssi > bitchx
[00:25] <anima_> Slart:  OK, it's not the one that comes up with the orange bar showing load/unload.  You just fixed that one.  It's after it brings up my mouse/desktop, and immediately before it loads my wallpaper image.  Does that help?
[00:25] <jrib> anom01y: s/maintained/unmaintained
[00:25] <Slart> anom01y: bah.. that wasn't the factoid I wanted.. well.. apparently bitchx has been removed.. something about bugs not getting fixed
[00:25] <Jack_Sparrow> ceil420 That is why we discourage people taking polls or asking best
[00:26] <anom01y> irsii is as good as bitchx ?
[00:26] <Slart> anima_: ah.. actually it does.. is it the background where you enter your username to login?
[00:26] <Jack_Sparrow> !polls
[00:26] <ceil420> Jack_Sparrow, but it's factual, in this case
[00:26] <jrib> anom01y: irssi and weechat are both pretty good.  Try them out for yourself
[00:26] <Slart> anom01y: I haven't used bitchx but irssi works nicely for me
[00:26] <anima_> No, it's after that - that one is normal peachy pink solid color
[00:26] <ceil420> Jack_Sparrow, notice i didn't compare irssi to xchat, or any other actively maintained IRC client
[00:26] <daedra> How do you quit telnet irc?
[00:27] <wemdowemd> jken146: OK then. I've read the LiveUSB stuff on the help pages. Crucially though, MBR overwriting will only occur on the partition where Ubuntu is installed? As in, if I run it and tell it to install ubuntu on a partition on an external hard drive, it WILL NOT touch anything on the laptop itself?
[00:27] <ceil420> daedra, quit :quit message
[00:27] <anima_> daedra:  /quit if I remember right.
[00:27] <Slart> anom01y: ok.. let me search a bit for that...
[00:27] <ceil420> (message optional)
[00:27] <Slart> anom01y: sorry.. wrong nick
[00:27] <ceil420> anima_, don't need slashes in telnet
[00:27] <anima_> *shrug*  My bad.  Sorry.
[00:27] <Slart> anima_: ok, let me check something
[00:27] <ceil420> why anyone would use telnet for IRC i'll never know
[00:27] <Jack_Sparrow> wemdowemd But you wiull have grub errors or other booting issues
[00:27] <ceil420> privmsg #ubuntu :this stuff is a PITA
[00:27] <anom01y> I wanted to check out the bitchx-gtk but I guess thats a no go now..
[00:28] <ceil420> privmsg #ubuntu :i wouldn't wanna do it more than once or twice a decade <_<
[00:28] <Jack_Sparrow> ceil420 Please stop
[00:28] <ceil420> anom01y, you can probably still install it from other sources
[00:28] <anima_> Jack:  tnx
[00:28] <Jack_Sparrow> anima_ np
[00:28] <ceil420> Jack_Sparrow, you please stop
[00:28] <jken146> wemdowemd: yes, you can tell the installer to install grub to any partition you choose.  If you choose a partition on an external hard drive, your internal drives won;t be touched.  But you'll have to use your BIOS setup to boot from your external drive.
[00:29]  * anima_ opens door for ceil420
[00:29] <ceil420> Jack_Sparrow, i'm just warning people that are considering using telnet for IRC what they're in for
[00:29] <N-A> Several events/applications make a sound through my PC's internal speaker, is there any way to get these events/applications to use the sounds defined in the ubuntu sound settings?
[00:29] <ceil420> Jack_Sparrow, which is on topic, as at least one user mentioned using it while another is actively seeking an IRC client
[00:29]  * anima_ continues to hold door open just in case.
[00:30] <lampoon> Hello
[00:30] <kindofabuzz> why does my NFS not automount on boot? i always have to sudo mount -a for it to mount
[00:31] <lampoon> Is it a removable disk?
[00:31] <jken146> kindofabuzz: Have you added it to /etc/fstab?
[00:31] <kindofabuzz> jken146, yes, otherwise mount -a wouldn't even mount it
[00:31] <wemdowemd> jken146: That's fine. But presumably there will be some MBR-style overwriting at the beginning of the external drive as well as GRUB itself on the selected partition? As in, if there are 2 part's on the external and I tell it to install Ubuntu on P #2, it will do so + grub, but overwrite the *first few* kb also to make the external bootable?
[00:32] <Slart> anima_: if you start gconf-editor in a terminal and check in "apps, nautilus, preferences" what is the value of the key "background_filename" ?
[00:32] <jken146> kindofabuzz: yes, of course.
[00:32] <Daemon_> having trouble adding themes to ubuntu any help appreciated
[00:32] <kindofabuzz> jken146, i can't figure out why it's not. maybe the nfs service is not started before fstab is read?
[00:32] <anima_> Slart:  could you bust that down a little further...is the terminal command "start gconf-editor"?
[00:32] <dxdemetriou> can I start gui application as another user without asking for a password? I did it with sudo but I can't find how it works with gksudo
[00:33] <Slart> anima_: just "gconf-editor", it will open a small editor with a tree like structure on the left side
[00:33] <jken146> wemdowemd: it won't overwrite the mbr unless you choose the first partition of that disk, akaik
[00:33] <Slart> anima_: browse to apps, nautilus, preferences there.. then check the right side for background_image
[00:33] <jken146> kindofabuzz: you could put mount -a in an init script and see if that does it
[00:33] <Slart> anima_: sorry.. background_filename
[00:34] <wemdowemd> jken146: So I'd be needing some other way to start the boot process, that would point to GRUB in the relevant partition? Like a removable media bootdisc or something?
[00:34] <anima_> No entry there.
[00:34] <anima_> Slart:  no entry there.
[00:34] <kindofabuzz> jken146, yeah, but i'd like to know why it ins't working when everything else is mounted during boot
[00:34] <jken146> wemdowemd: yes, like another bootloader.  Can't you just put it on the mbr?
[00:34] <Slart> anima_: hmm.. back to searching then.. I'll be back when I find something new to try
[00:34] <Jack_Sparrow> wemdowemd You could do it with a bootable cd but then you could not use that cd drive during the session
[00:34] <mikesholle1> Hey I got it fixed oobe
[00:35] <usser> anybody uses intel wifi cards, iwl3945? connection doesnt come back after kill switch, i have to rmmod iwl3945 modprobe iwl3945 every time
[00:35] <Slart> anima_: you might as well try looking at Desktop, gnome, background in the same program
[00:35] <N-A> Several events/applications make a sound through my PC's internal speaker, is there any way to get these events/applications to use the sounds defined in the ubuntu sound settings?
[00:35] <GNUtoo> hello,does someone know well ubuntu boot process? because i've a tricky problem: my raid array is too slow(4-50MB/s instead of 110MB/s) with gentoo but not ubuntu...I've tried gentoo's kernel on ubuntu rootfs...it's fast...and ubuntu's kernel on gentoo's rootfs...it's slow...so it's not the kernel...ubuntu does somehting during the boot process that makes my raid array fast...and I'd like to know what...
[00:35] <Slart> anima_: that one will probably hold the current wallpaper
[00:36] <wemdowemd> jken146: Given that there's already 1 partition at the beginning of the external drive, and said drive is currently non-bootable, would writing a MBR to it screw up the existing partition table somehow? Jack
[00:36] <wemdowemd> Jack_Sparrow: I can live with that
[00:36] <anima_> Slart, pm me your paypal addy....I can see I've almost won the "stump the tech person".  OK what am I looking for in the desktop one?
[00:36] <Slart> anima_: =).. desktop, gnome, background
[00:36] <futeki> Anyone know of any good tool(s) to burn data to DVD's in order to archive it? I need to be able to encrypt and password protect it, even though the DVD's will be stored in a fireproof safe.
[00:36] <Jack_Sparrow> wemdowemd I can give you the basic instructions but you may need to work out details based on your hardware
[00:37] <anima_> slart:  ya looking at it....
[00:37] <Slart> anima_: there's  a key called "picture_filename"
[00:37] <oscar> hey do anyone know how to make the acpi work for my Acer Aspire 5050 AMD Turion 64 laptop... I have hardy heron
[00:37] <wemdowemd> Jack_Sparrow: That's OK. I'll probably just go with a SuperGrub disc or something. I'm fielding a few ideas at the moment so the details can wait.
[00:37] <oscar> I tried installing acpi modules... but nothing seems to work
[00:37] <anima_> Slart:  pasting in pm
[00:37] <Slart> anima_: ok
[00:38] <wemdowemd> Jack_Sparrow: I haven't even got to the full-partition encryption yet...
[00:38] <dxdemetriou> can I use "gksudo -u <user> <program>" for specific programs without password?
[00:38] <Jack_Sparrow> wemdowemd Bad idea
[00:38] <fearful1> I'm using audacious and I right click to show visible on all worspaces, but when it closes it doesn't save it so I gotta re do this everytime I restart audacious, can it remember it automatically?
[00:38] <wemdowemd> Jack_Sparrow: How so?
[00:39] <wemdowemd> Not even with LUKS?
[00:39] <Slart> anima_: ok.. and that's not the blue foot?
[00:39] <Jack_Sparrow> wemdowemd Just encrypt your data
[00:39] <fearful1> There anyway to remember that setting?
[00:39] <usser> anybody uses intel wifi cards, iwl3945? connection doesnt come back after kill switch, i have to rmmod iwl3945 modprobe iwl3945 every time
[00:40] <Sylphid> dxdemetriou, visudo will let you set users to not require sudo
[00:40] <usser> dxdemetriou, you should be able to specify it in /etc/sudoers
[00:40] <usser> dxdemetriou, for example ALL ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/halt
[00:40] <tuxfan> hello
[00:41] <wemdowemd> Jack_Sparrow: I understand ubuntu leaves several usage tracks throughout the filesystem rather than just in /home. Installed programs are also stored outside /home. There is a rationale for doing the filesystem as well
[00:41] <N-A> Several events/applications make a sound through my PC's internal speaker, is there any way to get these events/applications to use the sounds defined in the ubuntu sound settings?
[00:41] <_cb> clonezilla stops at "collecting the disk info in this machine" how do I get around this?
[00:41] <fearful1> Can I remember that setting anyone?
[00:41] <jken146> !pcspkr
[00:41] <dxdemetriou> Sylphid, usser, I tried everything I know but it works only with sudo and not grapgical sudoes
[00:41] <Jack_Sparrow> wemdowemd I know what I need to protect, how to protect it and where it is.. Just no need to do more
[00:41] <ezerhoden> N-A: blacklist the pcspkr module
[00:42] <wemdowemd> Jack_Sparrow: I can't be so sure
[00:42] <Jack_Sparrow> wemdowemd NOt a problem, just no crying in here when it goes boom..
[00:42] <N-A> ezerhoden: How? And will that make it use the right sounds, or just make it stop using the internal speaker?
[00:43] <ezerhoden> N-A: in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[00:43] <wemdowemd> Jack_Sparrow: This is an experiment. So long as it doesn't do it all over my laptop's Vista install there's no milk spilt
[00:43] <wemdowemd> spilled
[00:43] <deadbattery> has anyone one in here installed mod_bw??
[00:43] <fearful> I need to figure out how to remember a programs setting to show visible on all workspaces.
[00:43] <Jack_Sparrow> wemdowemd Look at my notes at how I did it for my installed system and you should be able to get it to do your external
[00:44] <usser> wemdowemd, hm just worked here gksudo halt :)
[00:44] <N-A> ezerhoden: OK, but will it start playing the right sounds by doing that? I still prefer the internal beep rather than no sound at all
[00:44] <Sylphid> dxdemetriou, sudo visudo    add  %<groupname> ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL     logout and back in
[00:44] <wemdowemd> usser: Pardon? Jack_Sparrow: Sounds useful, where can I find them?
[00:44] <mikesholle1> Is anyone familiar with enabling SLI on Ubuntu Hardy?
[00:45] <Jack_Sparrow> wemdowemd look in your PM from me
[00:45] <wemdowemd> Ah, sorry
[00:45] <ezerhoden> N-A: well, i am not quite sure
[00:46] <N-A> ezerhoden: Is there any way to just unload that module temporarily to test?
[00:47] <fearful> Feel like I'm being ignored
[00:47] <ezerhoden> N-A: rmmod pcspkr
[00:47] <snowveil> I've got a USB HDD currently mounted on my system that is no longer connected, and am unable to unmount.  How can I manually unmount it?
[00:47] <mikesholle1> Does anyone know what the error message " Using X configuration file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf". ERROR: Unable to write to directory '/etc/X11'. " means?
[00:47] <dxdemetriou> Sylphid, if it's because of logout/login I'm soo stupid.. I'm trying it now
[00:47] <N-A> ezerhoden: Hmm, now I just get no sound, can I reload the module?
[00:47] <askvictor> When I start gvim, no text appears - it's 'there' - when I select stuff I can see it for a second, but then it's gone. It's related to compiz - any workarounds?
[00:48] <ezerhoden> N-A: modprobe pcspkr
[00:48] <fearful> :\
[00:48] <N-A> ezerhoden: Thx

[00:48] <Baatti> why is it bad for firefox to be open when using the package manager?
[00:49] <Baatti> baghyay, did you try using Cheese?
[00:49] <dxdemetriou> Sylphid, now I remembered. I tried it with logout and login but with username instead of group.
[00:49] <fearful> I need to remember a programs setting of 'Always on visible workspace' so I don't have to every time I restart it
[00:49] <wemdowemd> Jack_Sparrow, jken146: Thanks for all the advice, I'll go do some thinking...
[00:49] <dxdemetriou> Sylphid, it's on ubuntu 8.04

[00:50] <fearful> Nobody is answering me tho :(
[00:50] <Slart> does anyone know where you can enable/disable the gnome splash screen, there is a setting in gconf-editor but there has to be an easier way to change it
[00:51] <AngryElf> what's the package name for the advanced desktop settings?

[00:52] <fearful> Will anyone kindly help me...
[00:52] <Slart> !es | Mozillero
[00:52] <Mozillero> coko me cambio de canal para no tener que ver toda esa listota?
[00:52] <Mozillero> como?
[00:52] <Slart> fearful: what is your problem?
[00:52] <Slart> !english | Mozillero
[00:52] <baghyay> why ubuntu didn't detect my webcam have i install driver
[00:53] <fearful> I'm using audacious and I like the option of Always on visible workspace
[00:53] <fearful> But everytime i close it and restart the program it forgets this
[00:53] <_cb> clonezilla stops at "collecting the disk info in this machine" how do I get around this?
[00:53] <fearful> Anyway to make it remember it automatically
[00:53] <cratel> question: I thought the point of libasound2-plugins was to route apps using alsa to use pulseaudio. But it seems that is not the case? And when pulseaudio is grabbing the sound card for flash or whatever, not even alsa apps are able to also output sound. ???
[00:54] <anima_> Just so everyone knows, Slart is a genius.
[00:54] <anima_> LOLOL
[00:54] <Sylphid> dxdemetriou, hmm ... not sure that its gonna be an easy task to get rid of graphical sudo
[00:54] <Slart> fearful: where is this setting?
[00:54] <Slart> fearful: somewhere in audacious?
[00:54] <fearful> When you right click the icon on the window list
[00:54] <jken146> fearful: have a look at devilspie
[00:54] <dtchen> cratel: the default libasound2-plugins + pulseaudio configuration in 8.10 on 32-bit works as such, yes
[00:55] <dtchen> cratel: on 64-bit, it is messier due to ia32-libs
[00:55] <Slart> fearful: ahhh.. yes, devilspie might be the right thing
[00:55] <fearful> I have no idea what that is...
[00:55] <Slart> fearful: there is probably some kind of switch you can use in the command that starts audacious too.. I'll look around
[00:55] <Slart> !info devilspie
[00:55] <cratel> dtchen: I'm on 32 bit but my alsa apps don't seem to be using pulseaudio. I deduce that from looking at the pa vu meter.
[00:56] <jken146> fearful: there is also a gui, gdevilspie
[00:56] <fearful> just sudo apt-get install gdevilspie
[00:56] <dtchen> cratel: well, there are a number of things to check. firstly, make sure you're using updated 8.10, including intrepid-proposed. secondly, make sure you're not using /etc/asound.conf or ~/.asoundrc.
[00:57] <Slart> fearful: are you using compiz? if so there might be a setting in there too
[00:57] <furythor> I have strange problem with wine, with wine all text either does not render or is unreadable
[00:57] <fearful> Yes I am
[00:57] <cratel> dtchen: already using proposed. for asound stuff, just delete the files?
[00:58] <N-A> How can I get Ubuntu warning beeps to play the defined sounds (from sound settings) instead of just beeping the internal speaker?
[00:58] <dtchen> cratel: move them out of the way for now (don't rm yet)
[00:58] <cratel> dtchen: actually they already didn't exist.
[00:58] <dtchen> cratel: ok, good
[00:58] <cratel> dtchen: good except...what's wrong then?
[00:58] <fearful> I don't think my compiz is loading automatically tho, I just typed compiz on a terminal and everything changedc
[00:58] <aiuw> How do I force Ubuntu to re-download the package files when I re-install them?
[00:59] <Slart> fearful: you can use the "windows rules" plugin in compiz to do it
[00:59] <dtchen> cratel: pastebin the output from `sudo fuser -v /dev/dsp* /dev/snd/* /dev/seq*'
[00:59] <Slart> fearful: system, preferences, appearance.. last tab.. set it to the middle one
[00:59] <cratel> !pastebin
[00:59] <Slart> aiuw: you can use apt-get clean to delete downloaded packages
[00:59] <dxdemetriou> this I'm trying to do is running a shell script with as another user without password. with sudo it works, but with "sudo -u <user>" it can't find display. gksudo, gnomesu and sux asks for password
[00:59] <fearful> Normal
[01:00] <Slart> fearful: then install the compizconfig-settings manager..
[01:00] <Slart> !ccsm | fearful
[01:00] <cratel> dtchen: http://paste.ubuntu.com/113842/
[01:00] <N-A> How can I get Ubuntu warning beeps to play the defined sounds (from sound settings) instead of just beeping the internal speaker?
[01:00] <furythor> can anyone say, why in wine (including winecfg) I have text almost unreadable
[01:00] <jken146> aiuw: run apt-get clean first to remove all the old package files
[01:00] <Slart> furythor: have you installed the msttcore fonts?
[01:00] <racecar-56> back
[01:00] <aiuw> Yup, got it. Thanks.
[01:01] <fearful> Ok downloading now
[01:01] <snowveil> currently Ubuntu has /dev/sdb1 mounting at /media/GAMES ... sdb1 is not listed in my fstab file, so how would set it to mount somewhere other than "GAMES"?
[01:01] <Slart> fearful: when that is done you'll get a new menu-item in system, preferences called Compizconfig settings manager
[01:01] <danbhfive> N-A: have you tried looking in the sounds dialog
[01:01] <furythor> Slart I did not have this problem with 8.04, so I am bit confused that where problem could be
[01:02] <N-A> danbhfive: In system settings?
[01:02] <danbhfive> ya
[01:02] <darkh0rse> why does toem movie player freeze up whenever i try to play a dvd?
[01:02] <N-A> danbhfive: Yeah
[01:02] <darkh0rse> totem
[01:02] <jken146> snowveil: change the entry in fstab
[01:02] <Slart> furythor: I don't know if it's the fonts.. but that's one thing that can cause problems.. still might be something else
[01:02] <N-A> danbhfive: That's precisely what I want, the settings from there to work...
[01:02] <Slart> !dvd | darkh0rse
[01:02] <dtchen> cratel: sec
[01:02] <furythor> I place my money guessing that it is something else, but what. I really would like to know
[01:03] <furythor> anyhow is there other way to see wine version that that "about" tab in winecfg ?
[01:03] <snowveil> jken, fstab doesn't have sdb1 listed
[01:03] <Slart> furythor: wine --version might work
[01:03] <jken146> furythor: wine --version
[01:03] <cratel> furythor: 'wine --version'
[01:03] <dubby> hey anyone, I am trying to open a document that had mathtype inside of it
[01:03] <dtchen> cratel: looks like pulseaudio failed in module-suspend-on-idle
[01:03] <dubby> and they symbols do not show up correctly
[01:03] <On0bi> how do i change the selection coloring on my themes appearance?
[01:03] <dtchen> cratel: try: pulseaudio -k && pulseaudio -D -vv
[01:04] <jken146> snowveil: oh, I thought you said it did.  See psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountlinux
[01:04] <furythor> I have 1.0.1
[01:04] <fearful> Ok it is opened
[01:04] <dubby> Can someone tell me how to get true type symbols to work?
[01:04] <dubby> Mathtype
[01:04] <Slart> fearful: near the bottom there is a plugin called window rules
[01:04] <furythor> exactly same version that I had in 8.0.4 which did not have this problem
[01:04] <GeffIsLegend> hey everyone, I just recently installed full ubuntu , someone mind telling me how to install a Gnome theme now? to be more specific, the Willibex 0.5
[01:04] <Zoffix> Is there a way to tell the system to move all the data stored on swap to the free RAM? Daily I run resource hungry apps when I am not home and then when I come back I kill those apps but all my editors and such get really laggy when I switch to them (I guess they were moved to swap and then moving back to RAM). Right now I have 41% of 3.9GB used RAM and 50% of 1.9GB used swap.
[01:04] <jken146> !theme
[01:05] <fearful> yea
[01:05] <jken146> !changethemes | GeffIsLegend
[01:05] <funkyHat> On0bi: go to system > preferences > appearance, then on the 'Theme' tab click 'Customise', then click the Colours tab
[01:05] <cratel> dtchen: pulseaudio -k returns "W: ltdl-bind-now.c: Failed to find original dlopen loader."
[01:05] <Slart> fearful: you want to add audacious to the "sticky" line
[01:05] <GeffIsLegend> thnx jken
[01:05] <cratel> dtchen: that's weird because it was running before. I checked with pgrep. now it isn't.
[01:05] <furythor> I did install those fonts, no help
[01:05] <Slart> fearful: so click on the plus.. then click the grab-button and click on the audacious window and "+Add"
[01:05] <fearful> as a class?
[01:05] <dtchen> cratel: ok, then just invoke pulseaudio -D -vv
[01:06] <Slart> fearful: well.. you can select it by title too.. might be easier
[01:06] <N-A> How can I get Ubuntu warning beeps to play the defined sounds (from sound settings) instead of just beeping the internal speaker?
[01:07] <fearful> thank you so much!:D
[01:07] <cratel> dtchen: pulseaudio now running, pavumeter back up, my alsa app still doesn't show sound coming through vu meter.
[01:07] <Slart> fearful: don't forget to enable the plugin when you're done configuring it
[01:07] <fearful> yup
[01:07] <fearful> Thanks a lot!
[01:07] <hubaker> Hello everyone!
[01:07] <linux_guy> When did 'boot from usb drive' become popular?  I got a free computer tonight, and want to install ubuntu
[01:07] <Slart> fearful: you're welcome
[01:07] <fearful> You are a genious lol
[01:07] <dtchen> cratel: and you're using native Flash 10, correct?
[01:07] <linux_guy> its got windows 98 lol
[01:07] <daedra> anyone here use ROX-filemanager? I need to know the command line switch for the Set Run Action As... setting. For example, the default (the active file) is "$@"
[01:07] <hubaker> I have a quick question about *nix in the server enviroment
[01:08] <racecar-56> k
[01:08] <hubaker> In the fallowing weeks, im going to be putting together a website and be hosting it localy
[01:08] <icefyre> k
[01:08] <daedra> linux_guy: free computar!
[01:08] <cratel> dtchen: flash does show through the meter. but if I play flash, non of my alsa apps work anymore. Which is why I started this process of researching what is going on.
[01:08] <hubaker> Ive been doing my research for a good server os
[01:08] <icefyre> hubaker: what's the question?
[01:08] <daedra> linux_guy: look up unetbootin
[01:08] <icefyre> lol
[01:09] <daedra> hubaker: depends on what you need it for
[01:09] <hubaker> and the three ive came up with is server 03, free bsd, and ubuntu server
[01:09] <dtchen> cratel: make sure all your alsa apps are configured to use 'default' instead of 'plughw' or 'hw'
[01:09] <hubaker> ill be hosting 1 or 2 websites
[01:09] <dtchen> cratel: that last bit is *essential*
[01:09] <linux_guy> oh i got unetbootin
[01:09] <daedra> hubaker: depends on what you need the websites to do
[01:09] <icefyre> generally linux webservers stay up a VERY long time
[01:09] <jken146> hubaker: use Ubuntu LTS or debian stable
[01:09] <linux_guy> im curious if that oLD BIOS supports boot from usb?
[01:09] <icefyre> but, yeah depends on the website
[01:09] <cratel> dtchen: well maybe the problem is the app then because there's 2 options: plugin and hdware.
[01:09] <daedra> linux_guy: maybe not. flash it
[01:09] <lwhacker> anybody have problems with the ati catalyst app?
[01:10] <linux_guy> when did boot from usb become a popular bios option
[01:10] <daedra> anyone here use ROX-filemanager? I need to know the command line switch for the Set Run Action As... setting. For example, the default (the active file) is "$@"
[01:10] <icefyre> still,  much better option than a Microsoft server
[01:10] <daedra> linux_guy: in 2001
[01:10] <dtchen> cratel: which app?
[01:10] <jken146> linux_guy: more than 5 years ago
[01:10]  * linux_guy says D'OH!
[01:10] <icefyre> boot from USB is always flaky for me
[01:10] <cratel> dtchen: puredata
[01:10] <hubaker> well, nothing flashy. ill be dev'ing the website on adobe contribute, so php, http, css would be the makings of the website
[01:10] <hubaker> now a consern for me is the ease of use for managing the website
[01:10] <linux_guy> burn it is
[01:10] <N-A> How can I get Ubuntu warning beeps to play the defined sounds (from sound settings) instead of just beeping the internal speaker?
[01:10] <icefyre> are you expecting heavy traffic on the site?
[01:11] <linux_guy> lol @ Ricky Ticky Tavy
[01:11] <daedra> hubaker: not heard of adobe contribute
[01:11] <cratel> dtchen: audacity too.
[01:11] <furythor> could my problem with wine be related to graphics card driver ?
[01:11] <jken146> hubaker: LAMP is pretty easy to set up
[01:11] <icefyre> if nothing crazy, it shouldn't be hard to set up
[01:11] <hubaker> no, less then a hundred hits a month
[01:11] <hubaker> more like 50 at best
[01:11] <icefyre> just be sure to secure it!
[01:11] <dtchen> cratel: ah, that's due to both PulseAudio and JACK requiring exclusive (hw) access
[01:11] <icefyre> if you are exposing your machine to the net you have to make sure your server is tight
[01:11] <cratel> dtchen: I'm not using JACK though.
[01:11] <dtchen> cratel: JACK does not like (default) or (plughw)
[01:11] <daedra> anyone here use ROX-filemanager? I need to know the command line switch for the Set Run Action As... setting. For example, the default (the active file) is "$@"
[01:12] <dtchen> cratel: yes, and puredata falls back to (plughw) or (hw)
[01:12] <icefyre> sorry, I use Rox with puppy linux
[01:12] <hubaker> thats my next concern, how secure is ubuntu server compared to free bsd and server 2003
[01:12] <icefyre> but I don't know the command line option
[01:12] <icefyre> oh
[01:12] <cratel> dtchen: with puredata I can choose OSS, ALSA or JACK.
[01:12] <icefyre> dude, that's completely up to you
[01:12] <dtchen> cratel: your audio hardware simply doesn't have native multiopen, so you can't have multiple apps using (plughw) or (hw)
[01:12] <icefyre> NetBSD is very secure out of the box
[01:12] <icefyre> but normally you need to secure your own server
[01:12] <icefyre> not trust the defaults
[01:12] <Slart> hubaker: no server is secure enough that you can skip doing backups
[01:12] <ari_stress> good morning all ^_o
[01:13] <icefyre> a hardened linux box can be any distro
[01:13] <icefyre> it is up to you to harden it
[01:13] <daedra> hubaker: make sure to snip the ethernet cable once you're on the net
[01:13] <cratel> dtchen: ok. I think I was expecting too much. Some day Linux apps will truly share the sound card they way OS X can.
[01:13] <N-A> How can I get Ubuntu warning beeps to play the defined sounds (from sound settings) instead of just beeping the internal speaker?
[01:13] <cratel> dtchen: I do appreciate your help and I am glad to know how to restart pulseaudio
[01:13] <hubaker> uhh, well if i snip the ethernet...i dont think i would be getting very far now would i?
[01:14] <Slart> hubaker: but it would be secure =)
[01:14] <hubaker> it would be quite secure no dobt
[01:14] <daedra> anyone here use ROX-filemanager? I need to know the command line switch for the Set Run Action As... setting. For example, the default (the active file) is "$@"
[01:14] <daedra> gah this is hopeless
[01:14] <Jack_Sparrow> I would like to speak with someone that has ubuntu installed on an external drive
[01:15] <daedra> like usb?
[01:15] <jken146> daedra: http://rox.sourceforge.net/Manual/Manual/Manual.html#types
[01:15] <RyanP> I need some help with installing Warcraft 3 on Ubuntu 8.10, I've got Wine installed and all that etc. But whenevr i try to run "wine /media/cdrom0/install.exe" I get an cannot mount error etc, and it says it protected and can only do something to the read only files.
[01:16] <furythor> Jack I don't have but know something about it.. what kind propblem you got ?
[01:16] <Slart> RyanP: try #winehq.. or the application database.. !appdb for more info
[01:16] <jken146> Jack_Sparrow: I have done it in the past
[01:16] <N-A> RyanP: Did you mount the CD?
[01:16] <RyanP> I've scoured the internet
[01:16] <Jack_Sparrow> furythor Not a problem actually.  I was working on a question earlier about having an external that you could boot to through a cd
[01:16] <saloto> olá
[01:16] <RyanP> yes
[01:17] <Slart> !appdb | RyanP
[01:17] <saloto> tem alguem br ae
[01:17] <Jack_Sparrow> So you could take your external to almost any pc and without modifying the mbr get it to boot the external.

[01:18] <jken146> Jack_Sparrow: sometimes.  In many cases, the BIOS was not set to boot from usb first, so that had to be done each time.  Otherwise, Ubuntu tends to do a fairly good job with changing hardware.  A live-USB persistent install might be better though

[01:21] <jove> hello all, does anyone know why Ubuntu 8 is very slow whenever launching Fire fox ? Is there any thing need to tune the network ?
[01:21] <spencer> Raylz, for ipV6, the ip are not in 4 sets of numbers seperated by .
[01:21] <Jack_Sparrow> saloto English only please
[01:21] <nsgn> jove: is it slow getting firefox on screen
[01:21] <johnjohn101> will ubuntu run on a system with 2 GB ram?
[01:21] <nsgn> or slow loading your home page?
[01:21] <usser> nsgn, on livecd and when u initially install ubuntu it defaults to opensource driver, if your card is supported by ubuntu it'll prompt you to install a proprietary nvidia driver, if its not you can always get the driver from nvidia.com, heres instructions to install it manually from nvidia.com https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual
[01:21] <Jack_Sparrow> johnjohn101 of course
[01:21] <spencer> usser, where i can look at how DNS resolves in 8.10?
[01:21] <nsgn> usser: awesome. just wanted to ensure i'd have smooth as butter playback on my HD tv
[01:22] <usser> spencer, with static ip its easy add your dns servers to /etc/resolv.conf
[01:22] <nsgn> :)
[01:22] <jken146> johnjohn101: oh yes
[01:22] <usser> nsgn, what resolution?
[01:22] <drash> backgen: have you tried opening the file with the GIMP ?
[01:22] <furythor> Jack_Sparrow I think that it would not be easy to make such external HD to boot ubuntu, but not impossible either, propably difficulty would be getting that HD to look like a USB stick for most computers, and that would contain all needed information ....
[01:22] <jove> nsgn, open FF is okey, but launch any thing takes 5m - 10minutes
[01:22] <backgen> drash: yeh didn't work...gimme a sec i'll copy error message
[01:22] <usser> spencer, ie nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:22] <nsgn> usser: agh, i forget exact WxH. its 720p
[01:22] <backgen> drash: Error interpreting JPEG image file (Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x1b 0xab)
[01:22] <Jack_Sparrow> furythor the boot partition on the cd takes care of that
[01:23] <spencer> usser, that's EXACTLY it..
[01:23] <nsgn> usser: i'm connecting via a DVI to HDMI cable
[01:23] <usser> nsgn, shouldnt be any problems, nvidia is usually pretty good at detecting resolutions, got pretty nonstandard 1360x768 detected out of the box
[01:23] <spencer> is that a bug with the new NetworkManager on not reporting the nameserver by default?
[01:23] <vigo> Jack_Sparrow: Das U boot?
[01:23] <nsgn> usser: awesome. hows video playback under ubuntu? i've never used it for HD playback
[01:23] <nsgn> i'll need it to be absolutely beautiful for me to stick with it
[01:24] <nsgn> i'm planning to use VLC for playback
[01:24] <usser> spencer, if you defined your connections in /etc/network/interfaces, Network Manager igoners
[01:24] <Slart> backgen: what do you get if you run "file <filename of the image>" in a terminal?
[01:24] <n8tuser> spencer -> what does your /etc/resolv.conf file ahve?
[01:24] <usser> spencer, ignores it
[01:24] <jove> nsgn, do u have any idea ?
[01:24] <furythor> hmm
[01:24] <tuxedocurly> hmmm alright i followed this tutorial online to show me how to create a LAMP server (http://maketecheasier.com/setting-up-a-lamp-server-in-ubuntu-hardy-heron/2008/08/06) and when i get to the step at the end where i go to http://localhost/wordpress to configure my settings... i get a "database error" why is this? Any ideas on how to fix it?
[01:24] <nsgn> jove: if ff loads fast but once you give it a URL it takes 5 to 10 mins to load a page you have a serious network issue
[01:24] <nsgn> or you're on 8kbps dialup :)
[01:24] <Raylz> spencer: so it would only use ipv6 if i deactivated it in the kernel right?
[01:25] <N-A> How can I get Ubuntu warning beeps to play the defined sounds (from sound settings) instead of just beeping the internal speaker?
[01:25] <Jack_Sparrow> !ipv6
[01:25] <backgen> slart: let me give it a shot
[01:25] <jove> nsgn, where should i fix it ?
[01:25] <furythor> I am thinking that newer computers do support boot from USB memory sticks, I am just wondering that would it be possible to get that external HD to look like one for most of new computers
[01:25] <drash> backgen: do you have imagemagick installed ? i'd suggest trying to convert it with the mogrify command to investigte further
[01:25] <backgen> slart: although wait whats the exact command to do that? (i'm a terminal noobie :D)
[01:25] <jken146> furythor: it will look the same to the bios
[01:25] <nsgn> jove: what kind of internet connection do you have? how are you getting it into this computer? you gotta give us some relevant details for us to even start
[01:25] <tuxedocurly> Any ideas? =]
[01:25] <Slart> backgen: "file awesomeimage.jpg" or whatevr it's called
[01:26] <furythor> so basically it should be possible with usb2.0
[01:26] <Jack_Sparrow> agreed
[01:26] <xonpathos> I've got a problem: I installed Nexuiz (through Synaptic).  When I start the game, it sort of acts like it isn't getting focus.  anybody know what I'm talking about and/or how to fix it?
[01:26] <furythor> because transfer rate of 480 Megabits/second is enough for most usage
[01:26] <backgen> slart: i get "data"
[01:26] <jove> nsg, can I run netstat to show U ?
[01:26] <Slart> backgen: and you're sure it's an image?
[01:27] <backgen> slart: should be! its my friends drawings i believe
[01:27] <backgen> slart: most likely just scanned pictures
[01:27] <tuxedocurly> hmmm alright i followed this tutorial online to show me how to create a LAMP server (http://maketecheasier.com/setting-up-a-lamp-server-in-ubuntu-hardy-heron/2008/08/06) and when i get to the step at the end where i go to http://localhost/wordpress to configure my settings... i get a "database error" why is this? Any ideas on how to fix it?
[01:27] <furythor> I am wondering, why I get unrendered or bad text in wine, when I did not have that problem in 8.04
[01:28] <Slart> backgen: I guess you had better talk to your friend and ask what format it's in.. you could try opening it as a raw image in gimp but you would have to guess the height and width etc
[01:28] <Jack_Sparrow> !info msttfonts
[01:28] <Slart> !info msttcorefonts
[01:28] <backgen> slart: eek...ok well thanks for the help anyways!
[01:28] <carpii_> msttfcorefonts ?
[01:28] <Jack_Sparrow> ty
[01:28] <mustangg> Is anyone successfully using mondorescue?
[01:28] <tuxedocurly> No ideas?
[01:29] <Jack_Sparrow> tuxedocurly Patience.. please
[01:29] <tuxedocurly> sorry >.<
[01:29] <carpii_> it probably means 1) either mysql isnt running 2) your login details are bad 3) you didnt run some script to create the initial database
[01:29] <carpii_> i suspect your question is better aimed at a wordpress channel
[01:29] <Jack_Sparrow> tuxedocurly Ask the full question every few minutes..  someone will know..
[01:29] <jove> nsgn, how do I find out that I run 8kbps ?
[01:30] <tuxedocurly> alright =] thanks mate
[01:30] <nsgn> jove: it's a joke unless you live in the most remote place on earth
[01:30] <Raylz> so when would you say ipv6 becomes necessary?
[01:30] <tuxedocurly> wit... what is the wordpress irc channel?
[01:30] <Raylz> will become*
[01:30] <Jack_Sparrow> carpii_ I agree there is a wordpress channel or apache etc
[01:30] <Jack_Sparrow> !irc
[01:30] <uvacav> tuxedocurly: is database error all that it says?
[01:30] <Raylz> do i need it in 2009?
[01:30] <usser> nsgn, with a powerful graphics card and cpu you shouldnt have any problems. although i dont think bluerays are supported
[01:31] <jove> nsgn: I have comcast running 10mbps
[01:31] <Spirits-Sight> I was wondering does any one know of a good program to do website makeups with out doing the code
[01:31] <furythor> so there is some problem with MSTTcorefonts with 8.10 ?
[01:31] <tuxedocurly> uvacav "error establishing database connection"
[01:31] <Raylz>  Spirits-Sight: quanta plus
[01:31] <Raylz> Spirits-Sight: but i really recommend coding
[01:32] <xonpathos> I've got a problem: I installed Nexuiz (through Synaptic).  When I start the game, it acts like it loses focus immediately (sound stops, in-game mouse pointer won't move).  Any ideas?
[01:32] <N-A> How can I get Ubuntu warning beeps to play the defined sounds (from sound settings) instead of just beeping the internal speaker?
[01:32] <nsgn> usser: i'm not doing bluray disks, but am playing back 1080 HD mpeg4 files. its a core 2 duo with a nice nvidia and 2gb ram. should be ok i'm guessing
[01:32] <jken146> Spirits-Sight: There is no good way to do this.  Everyone here will probably recommend learning html.  It's really not that hard.
[01:32] <rahduke> my ethernet connection drops randomly while streaming video through my network and while downloading sometimes, can someone help me out?
[01:33] <tuxedocurly> uvacav: so yeah.. the title on the page says "database error" but the actual content in the page reads "Error establishing a database connection"
[01:33] <jove> nsgn, download speed is 6.1kb/s, transfer download is 480KB
[01:33] <Spirits-Sight> Raylz: jken146: see I need to create a visuals for a presentation, I know html, I just don't do good in the layout of coding or I would just create it that way
[01:34] <usser> nsgn, yea you should be fine, take a look at extra codecs though
[01:34] <usser> !medibuntu | nsgn
[01:34] <uvacav> tuxedocurly: I suspect this may help, http://www.railshostinginfo.com/blog/2007/03/19/wordpress-installation-error-establishing-a-database-connection/
[01:34] <nsgn> jove: is this what you pay for or what you're getting? you're not giving us clear information at all
[01:34] <Raylz> Spirits-Sight: do you need to have it online?
[01:34] <Slart> Spirits-Sight: I guess openoffice drawing could be used for quick stuff.. depends on how good you want it to look
[01:34] <nkei0> !fglrx
[01:35] <nsgn> usser: thanks
[01:35] <jove> nsgn, what specific information that you need me to provide ?
[01:35] <Spirits-Sight> Raylz: no I needed it more for sending to people in email or giving as a print out
[01:35] <jove> nsgn, I have no clue if you don't ask.
[01:35] <asparagui> i have [sda1/winxp (250gb) sda5/ubuntu (50gb)] on my primary hard drive, is there a way to resize the ntfs smaller and ubuntu larger without reinstalling?
[01:35] <tuxedocurly> uvacav: thanks a lot! ill check it out and see if i can fix my problem
[01:35] <Raylz> Spirits-Sight: do it in open office impress then and export it as pdf
[01:36] <Raylz> Spirits-Sight: i did my presentation that way too
[01:36] <Spirits-Sight> I am think about making different graphics and put into a google doc presentation
[01:36] <RyanP> Can someone link me something for instructions on installing warcraft 3 on ubuntu 8.1
[01:36] <N-A> asparagui: try gparted
[01:36] <nsgn> jove: i asked what your network setup is like. i  asked who your internet service provider is and what speed they are providing you
[01:36] <furythor> I think that my problem is related to different handling of data previously in xorg.conf
[01:36] <asparagui> N-A: it doesn't like going downward it seems
[01:36] <furythor> so I need relog to test something
[01:36] <usser> RyanP, shouldn't need no instructions anymore
[01:36] <usser> RyanP, its a smooth ride
[01:37] <RyanP> How so
[01:37] <rahduke> ryanp http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=14154
[01:37] <N-A> asparagui: downward?
[01:37] <RyanP> it's been anything but
[01:37] <uvacav> tuxedocurly: np hope it works. I also so a reference about problems with underscores in the db name, so consider that too
[01:37] <uvacav> *saw
[01:37] <rahduke> theres nothing 2 it
[01:37] <buckie> !exit
[01:37] <buckie> :Q
[01:37] <buckie> -.-
[01:37] <RyanP> That is WoW,
[01:37] <jove> nsgn: how to. find out network setup ? the network provider is Comcast
[01:37] <asparagui> xp(249)(1gb free)(<-ubuntu)
[01:37] <RyanP> I need warcraft 3, every single website has different instructions
[01:37] <slew> how can i add a usb drive as a boot option in grub?
[01:37] <mustangg> can anyone suggest a backup solution on par with mondorescue?
[01:37] <rahduke> woops
[01:38] <usser> RyanP, just pop in the cd and run wine install.exe
[01:38] <Spirits-Sight> Raylz: so you would use oo impress and export to pdf
[01:38] <nsgn> jove: physical network setup...like do you have a router? wireless? switch? hub? laser beams bouncing around? how is it connecting to this machine
[01:38] <RyanP> it says it cannot mount
[01:38] <usser> RyanP, what exactly is the error?
[01:38] <jove> nsgn, I have 2 others laptops running window XP is so fast, no complaint...except Linux Ubuntu
[01:38] <Raylz> Spirits-Sight: aye, mind that no effects are possible
[01:38] <RyanP> One second
[01:38] <furythor> no change
[01:38] <rahduke> my ethernet connection drops randomly while streaming video through my network and while downloading sometimes, can someone help me out?
[01:38] <nsgn> jove: ok. wireless or wired?
[01:38] <Raylz> Spirits-Sight: effects are not possible*
[01:39] <jove> nsgn, I run this linux box with hardwire connection
[01:39] <rahduke> i'm on a wired connection onboard asus p5gcmx motherboard i think it uses the rtlk8187 driver
[01:39] <nuubuntu> Having trouble getting ubuntu to install build essentials from disk. Doesnt mount my drive. any suggestions?
[01:39] <Spirits-Sight> Raylz: I can of figured that, see I wish there was a good HTML / CSS graphic designer for gnome
[01:39] <RyanP> Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'Warcraft III'
[01:39] <nsgn> jove: ok. look into the interface information. see if it's running half duplex or some screwed up method. also swap the network cable
[01:39] <VoodooDance> howdy all..
[01:39] <nsgn> jove: also check logs. it's probably telling you whats happening somewhere
[01:39] <Raylz> Spirits-Sight: its always better and cleaner to do it by hand
[01:39] <VoodooDance> can anyone tell me what the name of that program that installs video drivers is called?
[01:40] <Raylz> Spirits-Sight: since not all browser show it in the same way
[01:40] <usser> RyanP, ok with cd in drive, type sudo umount /dev/cdrom
[01:40] <rahduke> jove:  i think we maybe having the same issue
[01:40] <Kiption> k
[01:40] <usser> RyanP, sudo mount /dev/cdrom
[01:40] <tuxedocurly> uvacav: hmm... i try to edit the files there, but it says access denied, how do i make changes to the files and save them in the files that they are located?
[01:41] <usser> RyanP, is it by any chance one of those pc/mac cds? i know WoW ships on those it was giving me trouble.
[01:41] <jove> nsgn: here is the network interface information: eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 08:00:46:c8:72:1c

[01:41] <nuubuntu> if that does work how can I proceed to install the bulds from disk?
[01:41] <Raylz> Spirits-Sight: i really recomend learning it, its not that hard
[01:41] <furythor> !wine
[01:41] <Raylz> Spirits-Sight: and use this service to validate your code: http://validator.w3.org/
[01:42] <N-A> How can I get Ubuntu warning beeps to play the defined sounds (from sound settings) instead of just beeping the internal speaker?
[01:42] <xonpathos> is it common for nVidia drivers to perform much more poorly in ubuntu than, say, windows?
[01:42] <VoodooDance> anyone know the name of the program that helps you manage video drivers?
[01:42] <Raylz> xonpathos: ofc :)
[01:42] <jove> test
[01:42] <usser> xonpathos, no, in fact i'd say they perform better on linux
[01:42] <xonpathos> blegh
[01:42] <RyanP> It's just the regular cd: This is also where i run into the error "block device /dev/scd0 is write protected, mounting read-only."
[01:42] <Spirits-Sight> Raylz: see my problem is the laying out the information using CSS / Tables I don't know when to use tables, and I seemed in the pass had issue with CSS either not lining up right or the box would not do what I wanted
[01:42] <eper3z> can any1 help me with setting up usb headset drivers?
[01:42] <eper3z> :)
[01:42] <Raylz> Spirits-Sight: may we use query?
[01:42] <bobbyyg> xonpathos, I had trouble with Nvidia and changed to ATI and everything is fine now
[01:43] <usser> RyanP, well yea, its a cdrom you cant write to it, but why does it detect it as block device?
[01:43] <xonpathos> usser: strange... I just found that my problem is that the comp can't handle Nexuiz in 1024x768, yet under windows I can run it 1280x1024 no prob
[01:43] <usser> RyanP, this is weird
[01:43] <uvacav> Spirits-Sight: you really aren't supposed to use tables for layouts. use css.
[01:43] <RyanP> I don't know what a block device is, so no idea.
[01:43] <jove> I need some help and advice to resolve the network issue....please help
[01:43] <xonpathos> bobbyyg: see, I've had even more problems with ATI :/
[01:43] <tuxedocurly> hm hey guys i want to edit a php file in the directory /vir/www/wordpress/ but every time i open it in text editor and make then changes, i click save and it says access denied. Any help?
[01:43] <n8tuser> jove -> what exactly is the issue?
[01:43] <xonpathos> bobbyyg: but it's been a looooong time since I tried them
[01:43] <nsgn> jove: that didn't tell me much. i'm looking for whether it is running full or half duplex. beyond that you'll probably have to ask someone more knowledgeable about your specific hardware and the kernel
[01:43] <uvacav> tuxedocurly: you will need root access. you can run the text editor with sudo for example
[01:44] <usser> xonpathos, nexuiz is a bit weird, it doesnt perform well for on any os
[01:44] <PseudoOne> hey guys .. seems my computer is resolving all non-existent DNS records to a certain IP... e.g http://gdfgdfsgfdsgdfsgdf, what can I do to fix?
[01:44] <jove> nsgn, how to find out half or full duplex ?
[01:44] <tuxedocurly> uvacav: how do i do that?
[01:44] <usser> xonpathos, try something like Enemy territory: quake wars, that'd be a more appropriate benchmark
[01:44] <nkei0> Anyone want to help me with this?  I'm trying to install the newest ati drivers and it's just not freaking working...  I've installed them, ran aticonfig --initial and it changed the xorg and the directions said to reboot.  I did and X wouldn't start, apparently the Xauthority file had an error with locking or unlocking, i'm not sure...
[01:44] <xonpathos> usser: that might explain it.  I've not really had a problem running WoW in Wine (except a weird mouse issue)
[01:44] <tuxedocurly> uvacav: im sorry ha ha, im totally new to this
[01:45] <uvacav> tuxedocurly: well I dont know if this is really the recommended way, but its possible to just run 'sudo gedit'
[01:45] <drash> tuxedocurly: use gksu instead of sudo for graphical applications that need root permissions
[01:45] <jove> n8tuser, launching FF is soooooo slow.
[01:45] <nsgn> jove: you'll have to get someone else to help from this point. i'm not extremely linux experienced. i was just lending generalized troubleshooting until it got too linux specific
[01:45] <uvacav> tuxedocurly: oops drash is correct
[01:45] <VoodooDance> Ahh... I found the app that handles video driver installation: envy
[01:45] <nsgn> jove: it's likely a compatibility issue your kernel has with your network card
[01:45] <usser> !envy-ng
[01:45] <tuxedocurly> ok! =D
[01:45] <usser> !envy
[01:45] <nsgn> also, on another note...crappp. i burned a whole ubuntu CD and the other computer won't read it
[01:46] <nsgn> it fails half way through the install every time
[01:46] <jove> n8tuser, do U get my info and having any idea ? do you need any info from me ?
[01:46] <n8tuser> jove -> once launched what happens?
[01:46] <uvacav> tuxedocurly: so run "gksudo gedit" and then it should save no problem
[01:46] <nkei0> nsgn: How does it fail?
[01:46] <N-A> How can I get Ubuntu warning beeps to play the defined sounds (from sound settings) instead of just beeping the internal speaker?
[01:46] <nsgn> nkei0: messages come up claiming things have crashed, partitioner is right now just frozen at 12% forever
[01:46] <usser> RyanP, i dont know what to suggest short of installing it on windows and copying over
[01:46] <jove> n8tuser, launching FF is fast, but get into URL as yahoo.com , taken 5 - 10 mins
[01:47] <nsgn> nkei0: i've had a history of this computer screwing up CD burns. can i install from a USB key? that'd make my evening
[01:47] <nsgn> i hate wasting CDs on this stupid burner
[01:47] <usser> nsgn, yes you can
[01:47] <RyanP> damn, i already did a full partition install of ubuntu
[01:47] <usser> nsgn, get unetbootin, it even has a windows version
[01:47] <nkei0> nsgn:  Ahh, Yes, actually you can install from a usb key.  You need the program called unetbootin
[01:47] <ruediix> Hello, does anyone know additional popular secondary archives other than medibuntu?
[01:47] <furythor> I wonder why wine text is unreadable but then in ubuntu everything works flawlessly
[01:47] <usser> RyanP, run windows in virtualbox
[01:47] <usser> !virtualbox | RyanP
[01:47] <n8tuser> jove -> am confused, first you said launching FF is so slow and now it is okay? or just getting the url resolve as very slow?
[01:47] <nkei0> nsgn: Retry installing it with acpi=off first though
[01:48] <nsgn> usser: i'm on a mac :/
[01:48] <ardchoille> how do I check for SSE2 support ?
[01:48] <nsgn> (the computer with burning/downloading ability...not the target machine)
[01:48] <ryanprior> When I return from suspending my computer, my sound card (Creative Soundblaster, info here: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/113854/) doesn't work anymore until I reboot. How can I fix that?
[01:48] <nsgn> nkei0: oh? where do i issue it that?
[01:48] <RyanP> usser: is that compatible with 8.10, it's not listed.
[01:49] <nkei0> nsgn: When you get the first menu up on whether or not you want to install or try it out, you can press F6 and select it.

[01:54] <nkei0> nsgn:  If the acpi=off trick does work you'll have to go into your menu.lst after installing and edit it to always have that option.  It does limit your system a bit however, particularly if you're on a laptop you won't have a battery meter and there are a few other things that don't quite work.

[01:56] <savid> nsgn,  umm,  apt is supposed to do that for me :-P
[01:56] <nsgn> savid: :P well something didn't work
[01:56] <nsgn> savid: you're saying apt is giving you that?
[01:56] <X-tremAl_Raven> Since I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 my wifi stopped working. Now I have 8.10 and still no wifi. It seems that in 8.10 it supposed to work out-of-the-box, but it doesn't. Likely because of some manipulations I did in 7.04 to make it work. How can I undo my manipulations to get wifi working?
[01:56] <savid> nsgn,  yes, apt-get gave me that error...
[01:56] <nsgn> nkei0: no worky. just got "consolesetup failed with exit code 2"

[01:58] <nsgn> savid: read the upper part of what it's saying. it says some packages needed either don't exist or aren't compatible with your install
[01:58] <nsgn> then it proceeds to try anyway and that's when it says it can't find what it needs on your machine
[01:58] <tsrk> I am trying to use rsync to remotely backup files.  I need it to have root access to the remote filesystem (which is running Ubuntu, and so has no root password).  Should I set a root password or is there a better way to allow rsync to have remote root access?
[01:58] <mustangg> how does the concept of an "NFS Mount" compare to mounting a samba/windows network share to mnt ?

[01:58] <uvacav> tuxedocurly: ok. its a command to run from mysql client so run that with "mysql -u root -p" then enter your root password when prompted. Then run the command putting in your username for "some_user" and localhost for "some_host" (i think) . and then enter what you want your password to be in the inside old_password
[01:59] <n8tuser> mustangg -> much easier
 Yes. But I read that now Ubuntu uses iwlwifi.
[01:59] <usser> mustangg, it remounts if the server gets restarted, samba mount just freezes
[01:59] <jove> n8tuser, I paste it in the paste.ubuntu.com under name: jove
[01:59] <uvacav> tuxedocurly:  from what I understand its basically that your password for access to the db has to formatted with some old style instead of the format thats current in mysql5
[01:59] <usser> X-tremAl_Raven, that is the iwlwifi module iwl3945 prior to 8.10 ubuntu used ipw
[01:59] <nkei0> nsgn: Well sorry, it was worth a shot.  Try another cd or do the usb key install. It's pretty fast and the instructions are fairly easy.

[02:00] <mharvey-ple> is there any gui tool i can use to mount my ntfs drive in 8.10
[02:00] <coop_ec> thx drash, I have alsa but i'm lookin at pulse
[02:00] <jove> n8tuser: it's posted at: http://paste.ubuntu.com/113856/
[02:00] <tsrk> mharvey-ple, when you connect it it should offer to mount it, does it not recognize it at all?
[02:00] <nsgn> nkei0: i'm doing the USB thing
[02:00] <mharvey-ple> No this is one existing on the laptop
[02:01] <N-A> mharvey-ple: NTFS configuration tool
[02:01] <xonpathos> ok, time to really show my noobishness:  is there a way to stop the "has joined" and "has left" messages?
[02:01] <mustangg> usser - but are the two compatible? can I mount a samba share locally as nfs?
[02:01] <tsrk> mharvey-ple, it should be in the "places" menu
[02:01] <n8tuser> jove I requested several info, but you only posted two,  anyhow.. i dont believe your <IP_ADDRESS> nameserver is working
[02:01] <nkei0> Anyone here have any experience with Xauthority?
 http://pastebin.com/mbefe9d0 http://pastebin.com/d4387fe75 http://pastebin.com/d3feaffe6
[02:02] <n8tuser> jove -> and neither is <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:02] <ruediix> xonpathos, no, that's not too newbie of a question for IRC.  It varies by client, it should be in one of your menus.
[02:02] <usser> mustangg, no, im not sure what you mean by compatible, in other words both can be mounted on the local filesystems and treated just like regular directories, but commands to mount them are different
 These are interfaces file, iwconfig and ifconfig
[02:02] <linux_guy> Will Ubuntu run pretty smoothly on 199MB of RAM?
[02:02] <jove> n8tuser, should i remove the IP <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[02:03] <mharvey-ple> well here is the thing. I chose the install of " install this under windows " when I put in the ubuntu cd
[02:03] <tsrk> linux_guy, probably not by default, you might want to try xubuntu which uses the xfce window management which uses less resources
 http://pastebin.com/d5edaee11

[02:03] <mustangg> usser - I have a small NAS being shared out by samba. my app (mondorescue) prefers actual nfs mount. I can't change the samba end but can change my workstation settings.
[02:03] <tsrk> mharvey-ple, is there something in your Places menu that says "100.0 GB Media" or something (the correct size)?
[02:04] <mharvey-ple> checking...
[02:04] <N-A> How can I get Ubuntu warning beeps to play the defined sounds (from sound settings) instead of just beeping the internal speaker?
 hosts and resolve are ok, my ethernet connection works fine.
[02:04] <mharvey-ple> nope
[02:04] <ruediix> linux_guy depends on your configuration.  I've run Linux variants with under 64MB of RAM, if I use a lightweight desktop environment instead of GNOME or KDE.
 http://pastebin.com/d4387fe75
[02:04] <usser> mustangg, theres nothing you can do on the client's end to treat samba share as nfs
[02:04] <tsrk> mharvey-ple, ok, then I don't know, sorry, you'll have to find someone else who knows more about this stuff
[02:05] <jove> n8tuser, I removed all 129.145 network....what else should be done ?
[02:05] <Khronos> how do I default all my sound settings in ubuntu?
[02:05] <mharvey-ple> its all gooodill try later
[02:05] <n8tuser> X-tremAl_Raven -> i cannot give you good advise if am missing info.. please provide as requested
[02:05] <tsrk> mharvey-ple, well, one thing that you might need to do is make sure you have installed NTFS software
[02:05] <tuxedocurly> uvacav: it says "cant find matching row in the user table"
[02:05] <linux_guy> so the gui is the pig?
[02:05] <ruediix> Linux_guy, if you have USB, you may want to just use a flash-drive to create a swap partition, that'll really help with the speed.
[02:05] <n8tuser> jove it seems only <IP_ADDRESS> is working

[02:10] <ruediix> Cyberai your video card might not support the resolution (some nvidia cards don't support over 1600x1200 due to the hack they use to handle full screen antialiasing.)

[02:19] <jmk2> Want to rename my user from 'bobx' to 'bob', could i simply edit the /etc/passwd file and rename from there then change the 'bob' password or i must create the new user?
[02:19] <_VIM_> !away > FireFox|deviant
[02:19] <bigmb> WebcamWonder, what's the command? I'm too windowsized lately :(
[02:19] <WebcamWonder> _VIM_: Nice catch. I always end up doing it twice, the second time without s :)
[02:19] <_VIM_> :D
[02:19] <FireFox|deviant> Hi
[02:19] <bigmb> usser, What's the library I'll include?
 Nothing changed. Same on ifconfig and iwconfig
[02:19] <WebcamWonder> bigmb: sudo aptitude install build-essential, installs gcc and g++ required to compile c and c++ programs
[02:19] <WebcamWonder> bigmb: Among other programs
 Oh. Ok. Be back in a few minutes
[02:20] <usser> bigmb, pthread.h
[02:21] <sn007ake> Do i need to UN INSTALL drivers be 4 installing new ones? or will it automatically do this? *display driver*
[02:21] <WebcamWonder> sn007ake: Depends, which driver are you trying to install?
[02:21] <N-A> How can I get Ubuntu warning beeps to play the defined sounds (from sound settings) instead of just beeping the internal speaker? Any troubleshooting help appreciated...
[02:22] <mikesholle1> N-A: I can help you turn that sound off
[02:22] <sn007ake> Well Currently i have the Open source and im switching to the Propriety drivers.
[02:22] <N-A> mikesholle1: Ah, yes, but can you help me turning on the defined sounds? ;-)
[02:22] <RyanP> Whenever I try to run windows XP out of VirtualBox it gives me a "No bootable medium!" error
[02:22] <WebcamWonder> sn007ake: From the Hardware Devices? If so, then it should take care of everything
[02:22] <mikesholle1> N-A: System -> Preferences -> Sounds -> System Beep
[02:23] <_VIM_> N-A: yeah it's in sound prefs
[02:23] <mikesholle1> N-A: Uncheck the system beep box
[02:23] <L_Y> a L_Y |
[02:23] <N-A> mikesholle1: I don't see that there
[02:23] <mikesholle1> N-A: Then hit the system sounds tab and have fun
[02:23] <mikesholle1> N-A: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[02:23] <scientes> j #xchat
[02:23] <sn007ake> Well im downloading it strait from the mfg website...... and will need to install them. Im not doing it through ubuntu
[02:23] <N-A> mikesholle1: Intrepid
[02:24] <chuy_max> hi guys, how is the latest ubuntu 64bit working nowadays?, I just got a centrino duo laptop and I would like to install ubuntu, but heard that 64 bit ubuntu was having some problems in the past
[02:24] <furythor> okay, that font problem is not just with wine
[02:24] <WebcamWonder> sn007ake: ATI or nVidia?
[02:24] <furythor> just noticed that also open office has bad fonts
[02:24] <mikesholle1> N-A: Maybe it's in a different spot with Intrepid than Hardy
[02:24] <mustangg> can anyone suggest a good backup application which would allow me to backup at / but specify exclusions
[02:24] <WebcamWonder> sn007ake: Also, it is recommended that you use the drivers from the repositories
[02:24] <mustangg> and not need scripting?
[02:24] <sn007ake> ATI sir,
[02:24] <WebcamWonder> !ati | sn007ake
[02:24] <mercutio22> when will that right mouse button click bug in firefox be fixed for chrisakes?
[02:25] <N-A> mikesholle1: I don't see anything like that
[02:25] <nsgn> mercutio22: what is this bug? i've not seen it
[02:25] <nsgn> mercutio22: new user here, so i'm curious
[02:25] <mikesholle1> N-A: I run 8.04 so maybe it was relocated in Intrepid, I don't know N-A
[02:25] <bigmb> I feel really dumb, does gcc not work for .cpp files?
[02:25] <WebcamWonder> bigmb: g++ or .cpp files
[02:25] <N-A> mikesholle1: What I've got in there is devices (where I've got everything on pulseaudio) and the sounds (the different sound events that I want it to play, but that it doesn't but instead just beeps the internal speaker)
[02:26] <WebcamWonder> bigmb: for*
[02:26] <mercutio22> nsgn> right clicking triggers random actions like adding a link to the bookmarks or sending it via email instead of popping up the menu. It happens annoyingly often
[02:26] <plazia> What is the canonical method for installing Firefox extensions for which no ".deb" package exists? Is it to simply let Firefox install the ".xpi" file from the add-on site? and how will this be managed in subsequent upgrades of the main Firefox package?
[02:26] <nsgn> mercutio22: really? wow...sounds like i'll have a fun time browsing
[02:26] <N-A> _VIM_: Where in sound prefs, do you know (in intrepid)?
[02:26] <WebcamWonder> plazia: Handled pretty well. Firefox manages its own addons then
[02:27] <bigmb> ok, it doesn't recognize the pthread library. Do I have to install this for cpp programs?
[02:27] <_VIM_> plazia: just install extensions normally
[02:27] <mercutio22> nsgn> try it out a couple times. Right click some links and come back
[02:27] <plazia> WebcamWonder, so it's all cool to install .xpi files and I shouldn't stay awake at night worrying about the consequences?
[02:27] <frank23> I have an issue where the "system tray" icons are not where they should be besides the clock but instead are in their own little window. This in ubuntu intrepid. any ideas?
[02:27] <nsgn> mercutio22: trying to install right now, but i will
[02:27] <plazia> _VIM_, kewl thanks
[02:27] <plazia> WebcamWonder, thanks
 didn't help. Same on ifconfig  and iwconfig. The only thing that changed that in fwconfig instead eth1 it has wlan0
[02:27] <jmk2> Want to rename my user from 'bobx' to 'bob', could i simply edit the /etc/passwd file and rename from there then change the 'bob' password or i must create the new user?
[02:27] <WebcamWonder> plazia: Nope. And above all, Ubuntu has yet to backport new versions of firefox, so you might not even see any :P
[02:28] <n8tuser> jmk2 -> yes just rename it in /etc/passwd  no need to create a new user
[02:28] <mikesholle1> Disable system beep on Ubuntu Intrepid | otype.net <http://otype.net/2009/01/disable-system-beep-on-ubuntu-intrepid/>
[02:28] <WebcamWonder> bigmb: can you do: locate pthread.h
[02:28] <wassy121_> jmk2: You need to edit /etc/passwd, etc/shadow, /etc/group, and ensure the home directories match up.
[02:28] <_VIM_> N-A: sorry, I'm a 8.04 user too, i guess 8.10 really moved a lot of things around :(
[02:28] <usser> X-tremAl_Raven, ifconfig wlan0 up doesnt help
[02:29] <N-A> mikesholle1: Yes, I got that explanation earlier, but if I do that, I just disable the beep, I don't get the right sounds
[02:29] <bigmb> WebcamWonder: there is no return to the statement when I type it in terminal, just the next prompt
[02:29] <N-A> _VIM_:  OK, thx neway
[02:29] <usser> X-tremAl_Raven, does dmesg say anything? when you try to bring it up?
[02:29] <WebcamWonder> bigmb: That means you don't have pthread, wait let me search which packages offers it
[02:29] <nickrud> jmk2, and your first step is to back up all three files, Just In Case
 wlan0 up still says SIOCSIFFLAGS: Connection timed out
[02:30] <eper3z> hey can some1 help me installmy usb soundcard?
 http://pastebin.com/d3b48b210
[02:30] <mikesholle1> N-A: I would imagine, with the way Hardy is set up, that it's the same format.  Disable the beep first, then add the sounds you wish to play in for the specific errors.  In Hardy, we have a check box to disable the system beep, which is the command I just sent you.  Then you have to find somewhere in your system preferences or administration a place where all your system sounds show up.
[02:30] <HoNgOuRu> is there any application in linux to open "ntuser.dat" file or the SOFTWARE file of windows?
[02:30] <_VIM_> N-A: but by disabling the system beep and enabling a custom sound file should do the trick...
[02:30] <seneca> anyone in here running UME?
[02:30] <WebcamWonder> bigmb: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=659279 suggests you need to install glibc

[02:31] <N-A> mikesholle1 && _VIM_: I've got the sounds selected, checked, and tested playback, but they don't play
[02:31] <bigmb> WebcamWonder: sudo apt-get install glibc ?? it said couldn't find glibc
[02:31] <_VIM_> N-A: you might have to restart pulse
[02:31] <WebcamWonder> !find glibc

[02:36] <N-A> _VIM_: how do you restart it then?

[02:37] <usser> X-tremAl_Raven, it doesnt look like the driver from the distribution, did u install backports-modules or compiled the driver for intellinuxwireless.com at some point?
[02:37] <VoodooDance> All, I've been trying to install the 180.22 NVIDIA driver... every time I try to do it, following every forum thread I can find I still get the error with the mismatched kernel module version..
[02:38] <bigmb> WebcamWonder: Ubuntu 8.04
[02:38] <WebcamWonder> bigmb: I don't know. Haven't worked with pthreads
[02:38] <VoodooDance> Do I have to sacrifice chickens and make incantations or something>?
[02:38] <jove> ubottu, thx
[02:38] <N-A> _VIM_: curious, that does nothing on mine :-S
[02:38] <Titan8990> VoodooDance: did you try the restriected driver manager (jockey-gtk)?
[02:38] <WebcamWonder> bigmb: Are you have glibc package? :S Weird... are you sure it insatlled it?
 installed backport-modules. Should I remove them?
[02:38] <_VIM_> N-A: or the 'new school' way of doing it maybe something like sudo invoke-rc.d pulseaudio restart?
[02:38] <plazia> sacrificing chickens does sound appealing.
[02:38] <usser> X-tremAl_Raven, yea
[02:38] <VoodooDance> Titan8990,  no, I haven't seen that one in a forum... how do I do it?
[02:38] <bigmb> WebcamWonder: Yeah, I installed. I just put .h and it compiled fine...I'm going to make sure the functions work fine. Silly  mistakes
[02:38] <N-A> How can I get Ubuntu warning beeps to play the defined sounds (from sound settings) instead of just beeping the internal speaker? Any troubleshooting help appreciated...

[02:39] <Planet_x> Need advice about an AirCruiser N300 wireless card on Ubuntu 8.10. Having trouble installing madwifi drivers as in i dont know how.. seems there are generic drivers working as it works but i need the mad wifi for injection. thanks for help on how to install
[02:39] <WebcamWonder> bigmb: No problems. Thats what I am here for :P
[02:39] <Titan8990> VoodooDance: open up the terminal, type the following:   gksu jockey-gtk
[02:39] <_VIM_> WebcamWonder: ok well i didnt use flags
[02:39] <_VIM_> so i donno
[02:39] <mikesholle1> Can anyone help me create a startup script?
[02:39] <VoodooDance> ok.. I need to reset my video drivers... dong that as quick as I can
[02:39] <Titan8990> VoodooDance: what do you mean reset?
[02:39] <yoyoned2> mikesholle1: for what?
[02:39] <VoodooDance> envyng -t
[02:40] <VoodooDance> remove the manually installed driver and use envyng to install the packaged one.
[02:40] <Titan8990> VoodooDance: if I'm not mistaken envyng is no longer supported
[02:40] <niku> mikesholle1- the easiest way to do it is look at /etc/init.d and find the simplest startup script you can and edit it
[02:40] <Titan8990> !envyng | VoodooDance
[02:40] <ZiRiS> Hi. Anyone home?
[02:40] <mikesholle1> yoyoned2: My Wifi card doesn't work by default with 8.04 so I downloaded something to remedy the problem.  However, every time I restart, I seem to lose the card again and have to open terminal back up and rerun the commands.
[02:41] <yoyoned2> mikesholle1: i agree with niku,copy and  edit an existing one
[02:41] <VoodooDance> Titan8990, well it will get me usable video drivers
[02:41] <VoodooDance> then I can try the jockey-gtk
[02:41] <ZiRiS> Anyone else still running 7.04? Tried an update?
[02:41] <niku> /etc/init.d/vbesave looks like a nice simple one to munge
[02:41] <Titan8990> VoodooDance: I have used it with good results as well, but like the bot says, it should be a last resort
[02:41] <WebcamWonder> VoodooDance: Are you asking for help after a kernel upgrade broke envy?
[02:41] <furythor> what could cause my font problem, as multiple applications are affected by it, but not all

[02:41] <nsgn> death to CDs
[02:41] <furythor> !font
[02:41] <VoodooDance> WebcamWonder, no... Im trying to use later video drivers.
[02:42] <mikesholle1> niku: so all the files in that directory are startup files?
[02:42] <redcap> I've setup kvpnc to run a vpn to a remote box, ifconfig tells me that I now have a IP address on that subnet on the ppp0 interface.  However, when I try and ping the machines on the remote network, nothing happens.  Is there someway to state what interface I want to use to be able to do stuff like ssh?
[02:42] <niku> those are all startup scripts and then there are different runlevels which call them
[02:42] <mikesholle1> niku: do you have a recommendatino for which one I should use?
[02:43] <niku> that vbesave one is pretty good
[02:43] <ZiRiS> Anyone else getting 404 not found on about 7 or 10 of the files it's trying to fetch while trying to find out if I need an update? I'm running 7.04
 Done. Now what should I do to check?
[02:44] <usser> X-tremAl_Raven, you can rmmod iwl3945 and all the modules it depends on ie those: #
[02:44] <usser> depends:        lbm_cw-mac80211,led-class,rfkill,lbm_cw-cfg80211,lib80211
[02:44] <usser> X-tremAl_Raven, you'll have to figure out which order cause some of them depend on others

[02:46] <WebcamWonder> jove: There is no Linux version of iTunes
[02:46] <nickrud> jove, doesn't exist
[02:46] <jove> all, thx.
[02:46] <Titan8990> jove: I believe rythmbox is the free alternative
[02:46] <nickrud> jove, amarok or banshee are usable replacements

[02:48] <WebcamWonder> EagleScreen: I wasn't the one asking for iTunes for Linux
[02:48] <VoodooDance> Titan8990,  I ran jockey-gtk
[02:48] <usser> X-tremAl_Raven, lsmod | grep iwl show anything?

[02:52] <Titan8990> ndowens: what is the purpose of a server that doesn't have internet??
[02:52] <frank23> Is anyone who is running gnome with dual screen seeing this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-panel/+bug/311027
[02:52] <VoodooDance> Titan8990, lol, that installed the driver I was already using... but now gdm wont start :)
[02:53] <Mike9022> I was thinking about getting a laptop along with my current computer, but I was wondering if it would be possible to put user accounts over a network, instead of on a computer. In other words, I want to be able to use the same user account on my laptop that I use with my regular computer so I can access all the same files. Is this possible with Ubuntu?
[02:53] <usser> X-tremAl_Raven, after you switched it on, do sudo rmmod iwl3945 sudo modprobe iwl3945
 http://pastebin.com/d7c7b9908
[02:53] <ndowens> Titan8990: i knew somebody would say that, just to play around with it. never did much server stuff, so something to play with
[02:53] <Titan8990> VoodooDance: it sends you to the console?
[02:53] <tdawgedogg> hey im trying to update nvidia drivers to 1.77....i see it in the list...i choose activate and it freezes
[02:53] <usser> X-tremAl_Raven, hm...
[02:53] <Titan8990> ndowens: thats understandable, it will be somewhat of a pain to install your server apps w/o internet though
[02:53] <tdawgedogg> im currently using 173
[02:53] <yoyoned2> Mike9022: yes, but there are easier ways than that
[02:54] <ndowens> i am getting ubuntu server, so it has the apps atleast
[02:54] <Mike9022> yoyoned2: Such as what?
[02:54] <hikenboot> hello typing metacity --replace & causes title bar to appear while enabling compiz causes it to disapear...How do i fix this so it always appears?
[02:54] <yoyoned2> Mike9022: just have the data(docs, media) stored on a network server
[02:55] <VoodooDance> Titan8990, no, I boot to console, but when I start gdm it fails to start the x server
[02:55] <Titan8990> VoodooDance: what is the error that it gives?
[02:56] <Mike9022> yoyoned2: Do you know of any tutorial for doing something like this?
[02:56] <polywaffle> can someone pastebin a default sources.list file for intrepid ibex (8.10) please
[02:56] <yoyoned2> !samba|
[02:56] <VoodooDance> Titan8990, API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has version 173.14.12, but this NVIDIA driver component has version 169.12
[02:56] <hikenboot> also alsamixer shows sound not muted..desktop icon shows sound not muted. volume is up system beeps work but otherwise no sound lsmod shows all the sound modules running any ideas?
[02:56] <yoyoned2> !samba|Mike9022:
[02:56] <linux_guy> ok my ubuntu install stinks
[02:56] <Titan8990> VoodooDance: it sounds like there were drivers left over from your old installation
[02:56] <linux_guy> 75% cpu and 75% memory at idle
[02:57]  * Loco_aullador bona nit a todos nos vemos en los bares
[02:57] <yoyoned2> !nfs|Mike9022
[02:57] <VoodooDance> Titan8990, probably so, how do I clean it up
[02:57] <WebcamWonder> linux_guy: Consider a lighter desktop enviroment? XFCE perhaps?
[02:57] <_VIM_> linux_guy: i was affriad of that...you're more than likely going to have to use the alternative cd, and do a minimal install with like a minimal window manager like Fluxbox
[02:57] <linux_guy> can i install xfce to a flash drive and do it that way?
[02:57] <_VIM_> !minimal | linux_guy
[02:57] <Titan8990> VoodooDance: to fix it so it will boot, make a backup of /etc/X11/xorg.conf   then edit it so the line that says: Driver "nvidia"    to   Driver "nv"
[02:58] <Titan8990> VoodooDance: once you are back in the GUI we can work on getting that cleaned up
[02:58] <linux_guy> this computer doesnt even have a network card
[02:58] <linux_guy> i have an external usb thing from linksys
[02:58] <linux_guy> !xfce
[02:59] <hikenboot> anyone? Thanks in advance for the help!
[02:59] <namasamaran> ce-cantik
[03:00] <Titan8990> hikenboot: I missed your question, sorry
[03:00] <usser> X-tremAl_Raven, i am lost here, everything seems to be in order
[03:00] <frenchy> does anyone subscribe to any computer magazines?
[03:00] <leandroal> What do I need to do if I want to submit a package to ubuntu repository of my project?
[03:00] <Titan8990> frenchy: slashdot is all you ever need....
[03:00] <_VIM_> linux_guy: i seriously doubt the bios on that old P3 could even boot into USB...
 Can killswitch cause malfunction?
[03:00] <WebcamWonder> hikenboot: take a look at your window decorator in the advanced compiz settings. Make sure it is turned on
[03:01] <WebcamWonder> _VIM_: I think even P2 could do that
[03:01] <frenchy> Titan8990 id like to have something to take to work and read, or when im on the john
[03:01] <_VIM_> my 4 year old dell cant even boot into USB without a CD that has the drivers to force it to boot the usb first
[03:01] <Guest28464> can someone please help me, everytime I try to check my email, or just recently i tried to use k9copy, i get a message that pops up requesting the default password for the keyring something or other. Does anyone know what is happening?
[03:01] <Titan8990> frenchy: sounds like you need a cell phone and a media plan :)
[03:02] <tty01> anyone know how i can find out the version of a module built for apache?
[03:02] <_VIM_> WebcamWonder: well that's very general of you to say that, as all manufactures are not alike... :P
[03:02] <Titan8990> frenchy: pc mag   is the only one that I know of, I read it early high school about 7 years ago
[03:02] <frenchy> Titan8990 whats wrong with printed mags? does everything have to be digital?
[03:02] <WebcamWonder> !offtopic | frenchy
[03:02] <Titan8990> frenchy: for some people it does
[03:03] <Fortex> Khello
[03:03] <WebcamWonder> !hello | Fortex
[03:03] <_VIM_> in this day and age, yes everything has to be digital...
[03:03] <frenchy> Titan8990 thats one i was looking at but i read they were only offering it online somewhere but theie website  says nothing of this
[03:03] <Fortex> I'm having a little problem
[03:03] <Doleragon> Greetings all, does somebody knows why I can't use any sound application in the same time if I use Second Life viewer ? got a message saying that something gone wrong with Xine, but any sound program launched alone works fine.
[03:03] <Fortex> When the CPU is running really high, the fans don't kick in faster
[03:04] <Fortex> My laptop becomes an oven on my lap after.
[03:04] <DIFH-iceroot> Fortex: its not a ubuntu problem i think
[03:04] <Fortex> I'm on Ubuntu 8.10
[03:04] <Fortex> DIFH-iceroot: It didn't happen with Windows XP PRO SP3 / Vista SP1
[03:04] <Guest28464> fortex, bios controls your fans im pretty sure
[03:04] <Guest28464> get a chill mat
[03:05] <Fortex> Hm.
[03:05] <DIFH-iceroot> Fortex: ubuntu is not handling your fan-speed
[03:05] <DIFH-iceroot> Fortex: its the bios/hardware/sensors
[03:05] <Fortex> well it's odd that it happened only when I had it installed.
[03:05] <Guest28464> walmart $20
[03:05] <Fortex> and not when otherwise.
[03:05] <Guest28464> is your in us of course
[03:06] <xonpathos> fortex: I seem to recall a bug report about something like that... but think it was more general than just ubuntu...  gimme a sec
[03:06] <frenchy> actually i do have an ubuntu related question are there any wireless cards compatible with ubuntu/linux offered by phone comnpanies
[03:06] <Fortex> Alright.
[03:06] <frenchy> like the wireless broadband service
[03:07] <dbenx86> i wanna ask about infrared modem
[03:07] <Fujisan> hello
[03:07] <Vorondil> Howdy, #ubuntu.  I'm curious about X11 forwarding.  I use matlab for some school work, and rather than buy a copy of it, or use a Free work-alike, I like to ssh to a school machine that has matlab on it.  When I need the gui for viewing graphs and junk, I do it with ssh -X.  My question is, how come it's as slow as it is?  I, nor the school machine seem to be bandwidth-bound, and I get sub 50ms latency to it.  Where's the hold up, and is there an
[03:08] <Fujisan> can i use the ubuntu bot through aim or msn?
[03:08] <Vorondil> If that got cutoff anywhere, let me know. :-P
[03:08] <_VIM_> x forwarding is exremely slow... you're better off with VNC if you can
[03:08] <WebcamWonder> Vorondil: Where's the hold up, and is there a ... lost :P
[03:08] <WebcamWonder> Vorondil: And you can use -C for compression, but yes, it is generally slow
[03:08] <Vorondil> "Where's the hold up, and is there anything I can do about it?" (end)
[03:09] <_VIM_> god WebcamWonder is the flag master LOL geesh is there a flag you dont know about? ;)
[03:09] <Fujisan> can i use the ubuntu bot through aim or msn?
[03:09] <tdawgedogg> hey how do i terminate x server and all open GL applications so i can install new nvidia drivers?
[03:09] <xonpathos> fortex: check: http://linuxrevolutions.org/2008/05/13/ubuntu-804-laptop-heat-solved/
[03:09] <Vorondil> WebcamWonder: Like, is it just making a crapton of round-trips or something?
[03:09] <unop> Vorondil, X is not bandwidth friendly -- and there's the overhead of encryption over the SSH connection
[03:10] <furythor1> hmm, I think that my font problem with wine is somehoe related to compiz
[03:10] <xonpathos> fortex: it's basically enabling ubuntu to monitor your temp and adjust things accordingly
[03:10] <WebcamWonder> _VIM_: aptitude -vvvv :)
[03:10] <furythor1> is there any way to entirely toggle compiz off ?
[03:10] <_VIM_> :)
[03:10] <Fortex> xonpathos: why didn't they add this in 8.10 :P
[03:10] <xonpathos> fortex: was just about to type I dunno why in hell it isn't the default, lol
[03:10] <Titan8990> furythor1: from terminal:    metacity --replace
[03:11] <WebcamWonder> Vorondil: The entire X-forwarding technique itself is slow. And I am not aware of any mechanism that can make ti speed it up
[03:11] <Titan8990> furythor1: or disable extra effects from   right click -> change desktop background, far right tab
[03:11] <Vorondil> unop: That's just it, my gkrellm is showing hardly any bandwidth usage.  Thus my confusion.
[03:11] <Guest28464> can someone please help me, everytime I try to check my email, or just recently i tried to use k9copy, i get a message that pops up requesting the default password for the keyring something or other. Does anyone know what is happening?
[03:11] <Titan8990> furythor1: right click on desktop that is
[03:11] <Fortex> xonpathos: Well someone should spam the ubuntu path with that so they add it
[03:11] <Neros> Hey can someone help me with installing the JDK on Ubuntu 8.10 with support for 32 and 64 bit?
[03:11] <Vorondil> WebcamWonder: Hrm, I gotcha.
[03:11] <Fortex> xonpathos: Thanks.
[03:11] <xonpathos> fortex: but I've only been on ubuntu about 5 days now... I've learned the first place to look for any problem I'm having is the bug tracker, lol
[03:11] <dzup> hi can some one helpme with googleearth?? here is my paste: http://pastebin.ca/1327687
[03:11] <xonpathos> fortex: np
[03:11] <laughyn1nj4> anyone know any specifics about the --newer-mtime option issued to tar?
[03:11] <EtFb> I've got a new laptop running Intrepid, and it's not handling suspend/hibernate very well.  How do I begin debugging that?
[03:12] <unop> Vorondil, what i mean is its worse off compared to things like VNC
[03:12] <unop> Vorondil, but the key overhead is the encryption, that's what causes the slowdown
[03:12] <Titan8990> EtFb: your not going to get very far with that unless you are using a toshiba or dell, which are the only that seems to suspend/hibernate well
[03:12] <Vorondil> unop: Mm, I see.
[03:12] <Mohikan> hi.
[03:12] <frank23> Is anyone who is running gnome with dual screen seeing this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-panel/+bug/311027
[03:13] <Titan8990> EtFb: because they are the only ones with support in the 2.6.27 kernel
[03:13] <EtFb> Titan8990: It's a Toshiba, like my previous one (which had no problems)
[03:13] <furythor1> Yeah, I did disable those effects and it made texture to appear, but still hardly readable
[03:13] <unop> Vorondil, this might help you - http://samat.org/weblog/20060508-best-ssh-options-for-x11-forwarding.html
[03:13] <EtFb> Titan8990: Toshiba Satellite A300.  A very nice machine except for that.
[03:13] <Titan8990> EtFb: search synaptic for toshiba utilities
[03:14] <WebcamWonder> frank23: Any specific reason? If someone is experiencing that bug, he/she will report it to launchpad, and confirm it as "Me too"
[03:14] <Paddy_EIRE> furythor1: have you actually installed the correct ms fonts?
[03:14] <dbenx86> howdy, i have a mobile phone (nokia 6610i).
[03:14] <dbenx86> can i connect to the internet using ubuntu with this phone?
[03:14] <Vorondil> unop: Ah, I'll check it out, thanks. :)
[03:14] <Titan8990> EtFb: http://www.buzzard.org.uk/toshiba
[03:15] <EtFb> dbenx86: I've connected successfully using a Nokia N95 as a modem, so I would expect it's at least possible.
[03:15] <furythor1> going to install now
[03:15] <nsgn> ok, i've gotten Ubuntu all installed and activated the nonfree nvidia driver
[03:15] <nsgn> however
[03:15] <Titan8990> EtFb: you are looking for those utils
[03:15] <nsgn> while video playback is smooth
[03:15] <frank23> WebcamWonder: I confirmed the bug. I'm just wondering if everyone who has dual screen is affected by it.
[03:15] <nsgn> it still has sync issues/tears
[03:15] <dbenx86> unfortunately my mob phone dont have bluetooth
[03:15] <Titan8990> EtFb: I use gentoo on my toshiba so I can comment on ubuntu specifics
[03:15] <Paddy_EIRE> !enter | nsgn
[03:15] <furythor1> Yeah, I got newest version now
[03:15] <WebcamWonder> frank23: I don't think you will find people like that. It is just best to wait for upstream to confirm it
 Still nothing works. Any suggestions?
[03:16] <dbenx86> only have infrared connection
[03:16] <EtFb> Titan8990: Thanks - I
[03:16] <furythor1> nsgn are you certain that you have decent codecs installed ?
[03:16] <EtFb> Titan8990: Thanks - I'll read it.
[03:16] <furythor1> because those can impact decode(display of video alot9
[03:16] <nsgn> furythor1: it's via flash10-nonfree on hulu.com in firefox
[03:16] <Xaero1> Hey, I'm kind of a noob here but I'm looking at upgrading the kernel in 8.10, I've got the kernel compiled from source, but I'm not sure what step to take next.
[03:17] <nsgn> furythor1: i'll test in VNC with a downloaded file now. i still need it working on hulu though. i use that a lot
[03:17] <Titan8990> Xaero1: use a distro that supports vanilla kernels
[03:17] <nsgn> and i really dont want to go back to windows on this machine
[03:17] <furythor1> on some website ?
[03:17] <frank23> WebcamWonder: Yeah I just confirmed it upstream too. original bug reported 2007-12-21. there were 2 duplicates as well. nothing moved since then
[03:17] <Titan8990> Xaero1: because it is unlikely you will get that to work in ubuntu
[03:17] <Titan8990> Xaero1: ubuntu does a lot of patching to their kernel
[03:18] <nsgn> furythor1: *VLC. god i did so much work in VNC today
[03:18] <Xaero1> Titan8990 I see, so I'm probably not going to be able to upgrade the kernel to the latest then?
[03:18] <Titan8990> Xaero1: I would say gentoo or slackware, but there are others
[03:18] <seacnboy> hello! firefox can not download,who know why?
[03:18] <EtFb> Titan8990: Looks like that Toshiba page is six years out of date, sadly.  Never mind, you've given me exactly what I need: an idea of what to search for.
[03:18] <Gnea> !kernel | Xaero1
[03:18] <Titan8990> EtFb: I still use those utils, they work even if they are 6 years old :)
[03:18] <EtFb> seacnboy: Given the amount of information you've supplied, I can confidently say it's a case of demonic possession.  Take your computer to a priest immediately.
[03:19] <Xaero1> Gnea: thanks for the link, I'll check it out :)

[03:19] <Xaero1> X-tremAI_Raven: have you tried compiling the linux_wireless drivers?
[03:19] <Gnea> !wireless | X-tremAl_Raven
[03:19] <Xaero1> the latest ones?
[03:19] <ZiRiS> I know I can use sudo, but, what else do I need?

[03:19] <unop> ZiRiS,  or.  gksudo gedit /path/to/file
[03:19] <Xaero1> yes Titan8990 I am
 Read it. Still nothing.
[03:20] <WebcamWonder> ZiRiS: the -w is my annoyance with nano, you don't have to particularly use it
[03:20] <Xaero1> I've got it compiled to binaries my only problem is that I'm too much of a noob to setup a vmlinuz
[03:20] <Xaero1> er
[03:20] <ZiRiS> thank you, unop, that's the one I needed, gksudo
